Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have been going strong for nearly a decade.

The two singers met for the first time as coaches on The Voice Season 7.

Their chemistry didn’t go unnoticed by The Voice fans when the show aired in the fall of 2014.

However, Gwen and Blake kept their relationship under wraps for nearly a year.

After going public in October 2015, the couple has been gushing over each other any chance they get.

Recently Gwen shared a bit of shocking news about her hunky husband.

Gwen Stefani makes surprising claim about Blake Shelton

During an interview with The Guardian via Express US, Gwen admitted she had no idea who her husband was when she joined The Voice. That’s right — despite Blake being one of the biggest country stars in the world, Gwen was clueless about him until they met in person.

“I never listened to country music,...

Once upon a Yellowstone time, Taylor Sheridan and Kevin Costner seemed like the ultimate duo, crafting TV gold in cowboy boots. Sheridan had promised Costner a drama that’d revolutionize the Western genre—and oh, did they deliver! But somewhere between the Emmy buzz and plot twists, that golden handshake got buried under creative clashes and scheduling woes.

Sheridan, the mastermind behind Yellowstone, appears to have forgotten a crucial vow he made to Costner. The rift? It’s legacy-altering, and there’s no easy way to rewrite this script.

The ranch was quiet. Taylor Sheridan’s storytelling choices made the loudest noise. When Kevin Costner exited Yellowstone after a public fallout, Sheridan vowed not to tarnish John Dutton’s legacy with a cheap, explosive exit.

Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan and singer Blake Shelton are coming together to launch a new singing competition show. The working title for the series is ‘The Road’, which will be aired on CBS – as announced by the network this past Monday, November 11. Learn more about all the details of this, below.

A Singing Competition That’s A Little Different

There are many singing competitions out there on air, but ‘The Road’ places a different spin on things. Wanna-be singers in the competition will join yet-to-be-announced headlining musicians on tour and will perform as their opening acts in venues all across the United States.

The singers in the comp will work to win local fanbases to ensure a spot in the next city the tour is hitting.

Shelton knows a thing or two about singing competitions. He spent 23 seasons on The Voice and was also in Barmageddon.

Not to mention that...

Grab an oversized fan and head directly to the nearest fainting couch, because the people at People have officially selected 2024’s Sexiest Man Alive. The winner is… drumroll please… John Krasinki.

The announcement was televised during Tuesday’s installment of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, as has become tradition, because who else would we trust with such an important — not to mention sexy — unveiling? Despite Colbert’s vocal disappointment in not winning himself, he graciously welcomed Krasinski onto the show for the sexiest interview alive.

Blake Shelton & Yellowstone Creator Team Up

After twenty-three seasons, Blake Shelton exited The Voice. He was the last remaining Og coach so his departure was very hard for diehard fans. Blake had a unique way of finding that one coach every season to banter with. This came after Adam Levine left at the end of Season 16 and their bromance was over. Reba McEntire has worked very hard to replace Blake but no one can beat him and his wit. He moved on to the bar games series, Barmageddon...

If you’ve just finished watching Apocalypse Z: The Beginning of the End on Amazon Prime Video, you’re probably looking for something else to keep that post-apocalyptic vibe going. Well, you’re in luck, because two movies that would make for a perfect follow-up are The Road (2009) and 28 Days Later (2002). Both of these films share the same intense survival themes and emotional depth that make Apocalypse Z so gripping, but each has its own unique spin on the end-of-the-world chaos.

Let’s start with The Road, a film that’s all about survival in a destroyed world. Directed by John Hillcoat and based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy, The Road takes place in a bleak, post-apocalyptic setting where a father and his young son try to stay alive in a world with nothing but ash and cold. Like Manel in Apocalypse Z, the father and son in...

In Agatha All Along's finale, we learned more about Agatha Harkness' past and the truth about her son, Nicky (better known to comic book fans as Nicholas Scratch).

Just as Agatha was about to give birth, Death showed up to claim the child; however, the witch pleaded for more time and seemingly bought that by killing witches. On the one night - at Nicky's prompting - that she didn't, Death finally came for him and Agatha, ashamed of her actions, spent hundreds of years murdering her fellow magic-users on the "Witches' Road" to avoid being reunited with the boy.

Much has been said about who his father could be and, in a new interview, Agatha All Along showrunner Jac Schaeffer dropped her biggest hint yet that Rio Vidal/Death conceived the child with the show's title character.

"I will say [Laughs] that when we were casting sometimes we were like, 'Does that kid look like Rio?...

Before Agatha All Along launched on Disney+, many people repeatedly questioned why the show was happening and accused it of being "woke" for featuring female and gay leads. As a result, the majority of MCU fans braced themselves for another round of The Acolyte-style review-bombing.

For the most part, it never came; however, attempts were made as the show boasted a surprisingly low Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes the day before it premiered.

Week after week, Agatha All Along has proven itself a worthy successor to WandaVision and a story that was very much worth telling. That's evident from the fact it has the best Audience Score for any Phase 5 TV show!

The seventh and final installment of the late George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead franchise is currently in the works, and we've just learned of some new cast additions to this upcoming zombie film.

The movie is titled Twilight of the Dead, and talented actresses Milla Jovovich and Betty Gabriel have been revealed to have joined the cast. Jovovich is best known for starring in the leading role of Alice in the action-horror film franchise Resident Evil. Her most recent role was playing Tess in the sci-fi thriller Breathe. Some of her next projects other than Twilight of the Dead are the upcoming movies In the Lost Lands, Midnight and World Breaker.

Gabriel, on the other hand, is known for portraying Georgina in the smash-hit psychological horror film Get Out. She also starred in many other horror films, such as The Purge: Election Year, Unfriended: Dark Web and It Lives Inside.

If we’re putting Alfred Hitchcock, who was a genius in every aspect and one of the best and most important filmmakers of all time, aside, the first major horror director who influenced the genre in a major way was the legendary George A. Romero, whose 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead is still considered to be a classic of cinema in general.

This low-budget indie horror became exceptionally influential, with many later horror directors, such as John Carpenter or Wes Craven, being influenced by Romero and his work. And while the legendary director passed away in 2017 after battling cancer, it seems that he is coming back from the grave – which is most fitting, seeing how his specialty was zombie films – to give us one last movie.

His final script for a movie titled Twilight of the Dead, which would conclude his zombie series started back in 1968, was left unfinished...

The legendary George A. Romero will bring us his final Zombie movie... from beyond the grave!

The filmmaker passed away in 2017 after a battle with lung cancer, but he had been working on a script for what was to be the conclusion of a saga that began all the way back in 1968 with low-budget classic, Night of the Living Dead.

Back in 2021, we got word that Twilight of the Dead was officially in the works with Brad Anderson set to direct, and the movie has now cast its leads.

Deadline reports that Milla Jovovich - who is no stranger to dealing with the undead after headlining the Resident Evil franchise - and Upgrade star Betty Gabriel have joined the project. No details on their roles were provided.

Anderson explained: “I see this film in the same way as successful post-apocalyptic thrillers such as I Am Legend, A Quiet Place, The Road...

Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich is preparing to battle the undead once again as Deadline reports that she’s set to star in Twilight of the Dead, which is being billed as the seventh and final installment of George A. Romero’s iconic zombie franchise. Betty Gabriel (Get Out) will also star in the movie, which is set to be directed by Brad Anderson (Session 9).

Twilight of the Dead is set on a tropical island and will “delve into the dark nature of humanity from the perspective of the last humans on earth who are caught between factions of the undead.” Romero had been working on the project before he died in 2017, and his wife, Suzanne Desrocher-Romero, made sure it would live on. Greg Nicotero, who got his star on Romero’s Day of the Dead, will create the makeup effects, so the undead are in very good hands. The George A.

Before he passed away in 2017, horror master George A. Romero had been developing one final zombie movie titled Twilight of the Dead. The film is coming to life with Brad Anderson (Session 9, The Machinist, Blood), and Deadline reports that the zombie film has found its leads in Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich and Upgrade‘s Betty Gabriel.

The George A. Romero estate is teaming up with LA-based financier-producer Roundtable on Twilight of the Dead, being positioned as the “final installment” in Romero’s ‘Dead’ franchise. The original treatment for the planned project was penned by Romero himself, but Joe Knetter, Robert Lucas, and Paolo Zelati tackled the actual screenplay.

Romero followed seminal zombie film Night of the Living Dead with Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead and Survival of the Dead. The upcoming Twilight of the Dead takes the...

Exclusive: Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) and Betty Gabriel (Get Out) have been set to star in Twilight of the Dead, the next feature from The Call and The Machinist director Brad Anderson.

The George A. Romero estate is teaming up with L.A.-based financier-producer Roundtable on the “seventh and final installment” of the seminal Living Dead franchise. Horror icon Romero had written a treatment for the movie before he died in 2017 and he regarded Twilight of the Dead as the conclusion to his epic saga, which comprised six movies and various spinoffs and remakes.

Fortitude International will present the project at next week’s American Film Market, with production being lined up for March.

Set on a tropical island, we’re told Twilight of the Dead will “delve into the dark nature of humanity from the perspective of the last humans on Earth who are caught between factions of the undead.

Milla Jovovich is preparing to do battle with zombies again and will star with Betty Gabriel in Twilight Of The Dead, which Brad Anderson will direct and Roundtable Entertainment is producing in collaboration with the Romero estate. Fortitude International is kicking off sales at AFM.

Jovovich is the star of the Resident Evil franchise, and has also led films like Fifth Element and Monster Hunter. Gabriel’s credits include Get Out, while Anderson has directed films like Beirut, The Machinist and Transsiberian.

Twilight Of The Dead is scheduled to begin production in March 2025 and marks the culmination of Romero’s...

As you may recall, it's previously been reported that Agatha All Along completed its scheduled reshoots in only one day. With the WandaVision spin-off, Marvel Studios may have finally cracked TV, delivering a satisfying beginning, middle, and end, all with an appropriate budget thanks to practical sets and an effective use of VFX.

Today, scooper @MyTimeToShineH brings word about some of the changes Marvel Television made to Agatha All Along during those reshoots and production in general.

They start by confirming that the Scarlet Witch was never in the series, so that didn't change (Alex Perez has also acknowledged that he was way off base with the claim Wanda Maximoff would be found in a dormant state at the end of the Witches' Road).

Original plans called for Agatha Harkness to ask Death to "retire" her Rio Vidal form, prompting the powerful entity to respond, "But this is the me you fell in love with.

Agatha All Along season 1 comes to a close with two episodes that answers several questions while asking a multitude more. As Agatha, Jenny, and Billy come to the end of The Road, they must face Death (Rio) whose history with Agatha runs deeper than anyone could have expected.

How does this Marvel show conclude? Who will survive? Let's find out!

The episode opens with Alice meeting Rio, who is also revealed to be Death, coming to terms that she had died. We then shift to the current situation, where Billy and Jenny reel over Lilia sacrificing herself to save them.

Meanwhile, Agatha and Death meet where it is revealed that Death needs Billy because his act of taking over another body that...

In last night's two-episode finale of Agatha All Along - you can read our in-depth recap here - we were treated to some huge revelations and surprises. Of course, among the biggest were those comic-accurate costumes.

Firstly, Billy Maximoff emerges from the Witches' Road with full control of his powers and suits up as Wiccan. Wearing a costume that's almost identical to his look on the page, Billy looked phenomenal in action, particularly with a crown - in place of a headband - that links him to his mother, the Scarlet Witch.

It didn't end with Billy, though. With Death unleashed, the true face of "Rio Vidal" is finally revealed and Marvel Studios has translated this character from the page to screen in a really exciting way.

There have been rumblings online we'll see her again, so the hope now is that she might serve as an ally to Robert Downey Jr....

To say that Marvel Television's Agatha All Along has been knocking it out of the park would be a huge understatement. The series premiered on Disney Plus in September and it has had the comic book and superhero worlds in the palm of its hands ever since, with its whimsical approach, comedic presentation, and light horror elements all making it the perfect spooky season treat.

But it's also part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it has been delivering to such a level that it's one of the most worthy titles within the Multiverse Saga thus far, offering up unexpected twists, eyebrow-raising trials with life-or-death stakes, and reveals that - though some predicted - come about in the most unanticipated of ways.

That much was true in the fifth episode of the series when it was revealed that Teen, the sweet innocent boy that Agatha Harkness herself was beginning to grow quite fond of,...

Well, we made it; the Agatha All Along finale has arrived. It's been quite the journey over the course of these past seven weeks, walking the Witches' Road with the most dysfunctional coven TV may have ever seen, but the Disney Plus series has been nothing short of delightful from start through finish. A little terrifying here and there, but delightful nonetheless.

The events of the shocking eighth episode brought the main crux of the story to a close as Agatha Harkness and Rio Vidal, a.k.a. Death squared off. And with Agatha having fully obtained her powers again, it was quite a showdown to behold. However it resulted in some unexpected twists and turns that left fans feeling a certain kind of way. But what does it all mean for the future of the MCU?

Well that's what the season finale is for, as Agatha All Along showcases...

After 20 years in the waiting room, Danny Boyle's much-anticipated 28 Years Later is about to pay off one of the series' longest-running plot threads.

Maybe the hosting talent pool wasn’t as deep in the early days of Saturday Night Live, or maybe Lorne Michaels knew to ride a funny horse once he found one. Take Buck Henry, for instance. He hosted SNL’s 10th episode ever in January 1976, then returned in May of the same year to host the 21st as well. “Buck Henry so totally got it,” Michaels has explained. “When he got there, he said, ‘Do...

In the last episode of Agatha All Along we finally learn who the teen is and how Lilia was the one who placed Sigil upon him. In this episode, we finally learn whom Lilia is, as she faces her trial which reveals more than audiences expected. How will this episode change the show moving forward? Let's find out!

Death's Hand In Mine Lilia Calderu (Patti LuPone) in Marvel Television's Agatha All Along, exclusively on Disney+. Photo by Chuck Zlotnick. © 2024 Marvel.

The entire episode focuses on Lilia, whom we learn has lived for hundreds if not thousands of years, learning she had a special ability to predict the future since she was a child living in Italy. However, this gift has done nothing but cause trouble as she still could not save her village from a plague or the old woman (who we assume was her teacher) from death.

Throughout the season,...

We're just hours away from a new instalment of Agatha All Along and Marvel Studios has released the first clip and stills from the penultimate episode ahead of next Tuesday's two-part finale.

In this sneak peek, Lilia Calderu prepares to divine Billy Maximoff's path through cards, explaining how they work and exactly what the layout of the table means. This is his trial and each of the show's leads is decked out to look like famous witches.

"Jac is so clever in how she can lay in the puzzle and then resolve it," Patti LuPone tells Entertainment Weekly. "I didn't connect the dots when I first read all of the episodes. In 7, as Lilia's powers are awakening, she's tying up all of these events that we've seen in the previous episodes. There's an explanation to it."

Discussing the scene below, the actor said, "That layout, for lack of a better word,...

Blumhouse has unveiled insights into how Americans enjoy horror films throughout the year with a recent survey conducted by Sage Outcomes. They polled 3,000 participants to understand their preferences and habits concerning horror movies.

Interestingly, a substantial 44% of those questioned consider themselves hardcore fans of horror, indulging in the genre across all seasons, not just during the spooky times of Halloween. In contrast, a mere 6% reserve their horror movie watching for the Halloween season alone.

The study also highlighted how perceptions of the genre have evolved. 45% of respondents believe that horror films have gotten better over time.

This improvement is attributed to several factors: 49% credit enhanced production quality, 44% point to advancements in technology and special effects, and 39% appreciate the more original and creative ideas now prevalent in the genre.

A peek into the early horror experiences of fans shows that 52% started watching scary movies before they turned 12, often introduced by family members.

A new study sheds light on horror movie viewing habits in America. Research commissioned by the production company Blumhouse surveyed 3,000 people about their horror film consumption. The results showed that many people watch horror movies regularly, not just around Halloween.

In fact, 44% of those surveyed identified as dedicated horror fans who watch scary movies throughout the year. Only 6% limit their viewing to Halloween season. The research also found that appreciation for the genre has grown more sophisticated over time. 45% believe horror films have improved in quality since first becoming mainstream. Respondents cited better production values, special effects, and storytelling compared to earlier films.

The study provides insights into how lifelong fandom often begins. More than half of participants started watching horror movies before age 12. Family also plays a big role, especially for younger viewers. 42% of millennials and 30% of Gen Z said family introduced them to horror films as kids. Classics like “Halloween,...

45% of respondents feel horror movies have improved since their introduction into the mainstream film market. Of that 45%, 49% said the improvements stem from better production quality, 44% said the improvements are due to advanced technology and special effects and 39% acredited more original and creative concepts.

Netflix’s upcoming sci-fi adventure The Electric State adapts a much-loved art book by Simon Stalenhag. Or does it? We weigh up what counts as an adaptation.

Does Netflix read YouTube comments? If so, it’s a wonder what it makes of the 2,200 (and counting) responses beneath the debut trailer for its upcoming movie, The Electric State. They’re not what you’d call enthusiastic.

“It’s literally an art book,” reads one. “How did they make it look so wrong.”

“The tone looks nothing like the book whatsoever,” reads another. “I loved the hopeless, lonely, and dystopian feel of the source material.”

It’s churlish to judge a film too harshly based on its marketing, of course, but watching the 147-second promo for Netflix’s upcoming, (reported) $320m sci-fi adventure raises a number of questions. Most pressingly: why option Swedish artist and author Simon Stalenhag’s graphic novel of...

The best episode of Agatha All Along has finally arrived but is it too late? In season 1 episode 6, audiences finally learn the true identity of the teen, catching us all up to the present situation on The Road. Who is the teen and why did he actually seek Agatha? Let's find out together!

Familiar by Thy Side

The entire episode is the backstory of the teen whose name is Billy Kaplan. Billy's Bar mitzvah goes as planned, as he reads from the Torah and celebrates afterward with close friends. But when he visits a palm reader, who just so happens to be Lilia, everything goes awry. She mentions that there are two when it comes to Billy but doesn't explain why.

When he leaves, she writes a sigil on an item and places it inside his jacket. This is the same sigil that appears over his mouth when he tries...

Comic book fans have known from the start that Joe Locke's Teen was likely Billy Maximoff/Wiccan, and his true identity was finally revealed in last week's fifth episode of Agatha All Along, "Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power."

Revealing that he secretly has powers, Billy seemingly killed Agatha Harkness, Lilia Calderu, and Jennifer Hale after Alice Wu-Gulliver's death at the hands of the title character.

However, in this newly released midseason trailer, we see that Agatha manages to survive after rising from the ground to ask, "What does Billy Maximoff want at the end of the Road?"

If we had to hazard a guess, it's probably his mother, Wanda! The Scarlet Witch seemingly died at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Billy is bound to have some questions for her...including the location of his father, Vision, and brother, Tommy, we'd bet.

Viggo Mortensen is a three-time Oscar nominated performer who has been very picky with his projects, appearing only in a handful of movies in a 30-plus year career. But how many of his titles hold up as classics? Let’s take a look back at 12 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.

Born in 1958 in New York City, Mortensen made his big screen debut with a brief performance as an Amish farmer in “Witness” (1985). Supporting roles in “Carlito’s Way” (1993), “Crimson Tide” (1995), “G.I. Jane” (1997) and many others quickly followed. He achieved stardom in middle age playing the warrior Aragorn in Peter Jackson‘s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, released in 2001, 2002 and 2003. His first Oscar bid as Best Actor came shortly thereafter for David Cronenberg‘s thriller “Eastern Promises” (2007), followed by nominations for “Captain Fantastic” (2016) and the Best Picture-winning “Green Book” (2018).

In addition to his Oscar bids, Mortensen earned Golden Globe,...

The latest episode of Agatha All Along, "If I Can't Reach You/Let My Song Teach You," provided some clarification about Teen's identity and a potentially major Easter Egg for comic book fans.

As the coven sits around the campfire discussing their battle scars, Agatha Harkness shows off an injury on her elbow which see says came courtesy of a knitting needle following a run-in with the Daughters of Liberty.

Before we go any further, it's worth noting that the real-life Daughters of Liberty was the formal female association formed in 1765 to protest the Stamp Act, and later the Townshend Acts, and was a general term for women who identified themselves as fighting for liberty during the American Revolution.

And yes, they were known for knitting.

However, there's also a superhero team with that name and surely nothing in the MCU is said by accident? The other witches admit they've...

In last week’s episode of Agatha All Along, Agatha and her coven found themselves in a Big Little Lies-inspired setting where they had to drink a poisoned wine and then find its antidote. The trial primarily tested Jennifer’s potion-making skills, but it also forced the rest of the coven to prove how well they functioned as a team and whether they had the ability to tackle their respective traumatic episodes. The coven did manage to cook the antidote and escape the beach house they were trapped in. However, Sharon Davis didn’t make it all the way to the end, thereby making the whole ordeal feel a little disappointing. Episode 4 of Agatha All Along sees the coven mourning the loss of Sharon while fortifying their minds for the next stage of the journey down The Witches’ Road.
