No Toxins, No White Streaks — This Natural Deodorant Is Actually Groundbreaking

Gift-giving anxiety is the real deal, and it certainly heightens during the holidays. Our worst fear is that someone we’re shopping for won’t like the gift or, perhaps even worse, let it collect dust in the back of the closet. When you spend hard-earned money on a friend or family member, you want them to enjoy their present — and with that mindset, we sought out to find different gifts people will actually use!

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards, Features Editor Though his movies have made billions at the box office and he’s been awarded pretty much every major accolade, from the Oscars to the Emmys to a Grammy, Ron Howard has achieved an honor even more rare: He’s maintained his reputation as one of the nicest guys in the business. It’s why the team behind Fox’s animated hit “The Simpsons” got such a kick out of portraying Howard as the ultimate Hollywood stereotype in his several appearances on the show. Howard would show up, often clad in a baseball cap and bathrobe while sipping a martini — even at a movie premiere or going to a special zoo for famous people. (For the record, Howard knew how his cartoon doppelgänger would be drawn: “I was in on the joke,” he assures Variety.)

Jamie Lee Curtis‘ new horror film Halloween Ends is now playing in theaters and streaming on Peacock, so it’s time to talk about that shocking ending.

A sequel to “The Joy Luck Club” is on its way.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Novelist Amy Tan and Oscar-winning “Rain Man” screenwriter Ron Bass are on board to deliver a sequel to “The Joy Luck Club,” the 1993 movie that broke new ground for Asian American representation. The new film, “Joy Luck Club 2,” is set up at Ashok Amritraj’s Hyde Park Entertainment Group, with Ashok and Priya Amritraj producing alongside Tan, Bass and Jeff Kleeman. A director hasn’t been announced yet. The original “Joy Luck Club,” directed by Wayne Wang, was an epic, multigenerational saga of Chinese and Chinese-American mothers and daughters, whose histories, stories and lives interweave as they navigate life. Club members included characters played by Tsai Chin, France Nuyen, Lisa Lu and Kieu Chinh. The ensemble cast also included Tamlyn Tomita, Rosalind Chao and Russell Wong.

Manori Ravindran International Editor British TV industry leaders are set to convene at an event in celebration of deaf, disabled and neurodivergent talent that will address their lack of representation on screen and commit attendees to specific action points. Created by Bridge06 and Hot Coals Productions, the event — entitled About Time! — is positioned as a “call to action” for broadcasters, commissioners, casting agents, producers and agents — key roles that are central to improving the opportunities for deaf, disabled and neurodivergent creative communities. Taking place on Oct. 28 at BAFTA, the event will feature 10 working deaf, disabled and neurodivergent actors, musicians and performers and will be hosted by the BAFTA-nominated “Don’t Take My Baby” actor Ruth Madeley and “Coronation Street” star Cherylee Houston.

Jamie Lee Curtis has been in contact with her Freaky Friday co-star Lindsay Lohan.

“Avatar” during its new theatrical engagement (or maybe are watching it for the first time), you are no doubt blown away by its presentation.“Avatar” looks noticeably better than it did when it debuted in theaters back in 2009 – it boasts improved picture quality thanks to a new 4K remaster and is now presented in high frame rate (or HFR), which creates a more fluid image. As eye-popping as the original presentation of “Avatar” was, this new version is even more visually stunning.But this new presentation did leave me with a question: How did the movie go from being a standard, 24-frames-per-second movie (as it was when released in 2009) to an updated, 48-frames-per-second marvel? Like Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), the crippled marine who takes a mystical voyage to the alien moon of Pandora, I embarked on an equally exotic quest … to Burbank, California.

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Sault, the intentionally shadowy British R&B outfit led by Little Simz/ Michael Kiwanuka/ Adele producer Inflo, are back with a new EP called “Angel” — which is actually a single 10-minute song that is more like three different songs and a spoken-word passage combined into one. While details on the release are slim (as always with this group), presumably an album is not far behind. Not surprisingly, the new release is different from virtually everything the innovative R&B group has released in the past. “Angel” starts off like a power-trio version of a Bob Marley song, with a male reggae vocalist — apparently Jamaican singer Chronixx, who is credited on the song along with Inflo and British singer Jack Penate — singing over a jazzy drumbeat and a repetitive lead guitar hook. But after three minutes, the song stops and shifts into a piano-led ballad, with Chronixx continuing on theme about Zion, but with a gorgeous soulful chorus backing him. A spoken word passage then follows, and the song concludes with what is basically a third song, a gentle acoustic song that fades out with a “Soul Rebel” chorus.

Fox & Friends Weekend were forced to make an on-air u-turn after learning about the hateful things Kanye West actually tweeted over the weekend.Initially, Will Cain, Pete Hegseth and Rachel Campos-Duffy supported West after it was revealed he was banned from Instagram for posts deemed “anti-semetic”.On Saturday (October 8) West shared a series of texts he’d exchanged with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs following Combs’ criticism of his ”White Lives Matter” t-shirt – a slogan tied to white supremacist movements. In one of those texts, West wrote to Diddy: “I’ma use you as an example to show the Jewish people that told you to call me that no one can threaten or influence me.” Shortly after that, his Instagram account was restricted by Meta and posts were removed.“We’re in this weird era where people can’t just say what they want to say,” said Campos-Duffy, who had seen the post.

Rylan Clark has completely delighted Strictly Come Dancing viewers with his ‘perfect’ impersonation of Keira Knightly in Love Actually. Before Richie Anderson was eliminated after facing Fleur East in the dreaded dance off, the It Takes Two presenter appeared in a skit alongside his co-host Janette Manrara to promote the BBC Two spin-off show. The duo recreated the well-known cards on the doorstep scene from the 2003 Richard Curtis romcom, made famous by Keira’s Juliet and Andrew Lincoln’s Mark.

Marilyn Stasio Theater Critic In the new Broadway revival of “Death of a Salesman,” Wendell Pierce’s powerhouse performance firmly identifies Willy Loman as a tragic hero for these modern times. It’s a searing portrait of a working-class man who has struggled all his life to achieve. Not a man who works with his hands, or on an assembly line, but a man — a Black man — who goes to work in a suit and is welcomed wherever he goes by clients who greet him with a grin and a handshake. As a traveling salesman, he has dignity, respect and a shot at the American Dream, so long as he maintains his footing on the ladder of success — and pulls up his two sons behind him. If Willy should lose his job, he’ll lose that dignity, that respect, that place in society which defines him as a successful Black man in a white man’s world.

2 min read The online fandom world is awash with angst after Kit Connor from the Netflix breakout hit Heartstopper appeared to quit social media platform Twitter overnight. The 18-year-old played Nick Nelson in the coming-of-age comedy about Charlie Spring (played by Joe Locke), who falls in love with his classmate Nick while attending secondary school.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Mike Flanagan has, of late, distinguished himself as one of Netflix’s signature creators and as a generational figure in the horror genre; though his past series for the streamer, including “Midnight Mass” and “The Haunting of Hill House,” have been of various quality overall and from episode to episode, they’re consistently interesting. His willingness to engage ideas with his scares sets him apart, perhaps more than it should. So it is with “The Midnight Club,” which Flanagan and Leah Fong co-created based on the work of YA novelist Christopher Pike. Here, Iman Benson plays Ilonka, a college-bound high school salutatorian who receives a diagnosis of terminal cancer. Ilonka is both a star student and an idealist; she researches Brightcliffe, a facility to which her foster father can take her to be placed into hospice, and holds in reserve a secret hope that there will, there, be a miracle cure for her. What she finds, first, is a circle of ill teens who gather when the clock strikes twelve to share scary stories; it’s a mordant nihilism they share, and a sense of indulgent pleasure in the knowledge that things could be worse: They could be fighting against cosmic forces of evil.

Simon Cowell’s Syco Entertainment has struck a deal worth $125M for the securitization of the Got Talent franchise.
