won itself promotion to a higher league — to the jubilation of actors and co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.The actors shelled out $2.5 million for Wrexham AFC — a Welsh soccer team that had been relegated by regularly dismal play and disinvestment to a fifth-tier league for 15 years — and documented their efforts in an FX Network show called “Welcome to Wrexham.”Reynolds, whose business interests include tequila and the recently sold Mint Mobile and “Always Sunny in Philadelphia” star McElhenney were on hand for the team’s historic 3-1 win against Boreham Wood on Saturday.They even brought fellow actor Paul Rudd along for the ride, with the “Ant-Man” star mingling with fans outside the arena and drinking at the local pub.

Paul Mescal has shared ‘Slip Away’, an original song he performed for the soundtrack to his latest film Carmen – check it out below.A new clip from the Benjamin Millepied-directed film sees Mescal singing ‘Slip Away’ while playing an acoustic guitar. The entire soundtrack has also been released on streaming, with Mescal also featuring on ‘Lullaby/ Beyond’.‘Slip Away’ is one of the original songs to feature in the updated version of Georges Bizet’s classic opera of the same name.

th-century opera “Carmen” has a classic femme fatale at its heart: a fiery, free-spirited and seductive woman headed for her inevitable demise through the downfall of a former lover. So take it with a grain of salt upon hearing the title “Carmen,” in this case a beautiful, dreamlike and defiantly experimental film directed by Benjamin Millepied.

Since her brief (and stunning) cameo in “No Time To Die,” Ana de Armas has been candid about what she thinks about the “James Bond” franchise. For instance, last year, she told EW that she didn’t think the next James Bond should be a woman, but women need a “more substantial part and recognition” in the franchise.

Guy Lodge Film Critic “Carmen” didn’t begin life as an opera: French Romantic writer Prosper Mérimée conceived this tale of Spanish passion and tragic jealousy in 1845, thirty years before his compatriot Georges Bizet brought it into its best-known, aria-rich form. But it’s a story that thrives on operatic delivery, hinging on emotions so large and loud they beg to be sung at the top of one’s lungs. That makes it the opera that filmmakers can’t leave alone, even as they tend to switch out the music: Its screen interpretations range from Otto Preminger’s Broadway-rooted “Carmen Jones” to Jean-Luc Godard’s daring, Beethoven-infused “First Name: Carmen” to Robert Townsend’s Beyoncé-starring “Carmen: A Hip-Hopera.” With the plainly titled “Carmen,” ballet star and first-time feature director Benjamin Millepied joins that club, mostly eschewing song in an attempt to conjure the material’s intensity through dance. He is only intermittently successful.

Peter Morgan (The Crown) was among the top winners at this year’s Critics’ Circle Theatre Awards with his latest production, Patriots, which took home the coveted Michael Billington Award for Best New Play.

Paul Mescal celebrated his Olivier Award win with a late night trip to McDonald's. The Irish actor, 27, who recently went viral after being interviewed on the BAFTA red carpet in Irish, reigned supreme after picking up the award for Best Actor for his role as Stanley Kowalski in the revival of A Streetcar Named Desire. He beat the likes of David Tennant and Tom Hollander to the achievement.

It was British theatre’s biggest night.

Paul Mescal said he hoped his win at this year’s Olivier Awards , the biggest night in British theatre, would give his mother “a little bit of a lift” amid her current cancer battle. At the annual theatre awards ceremony on Sunday, Paul, 27, won the Best Actor prize for his leading role as Stanley Kowlaski in the West End revival of A Streetcar Named Desire. During his acceptance speech, the Normal People star thanked his colleagues and co-stars before giving a shout-out to both his parents.

Paul Mescal and Jodie Comer’s fans are calling for the pair to start dating, claiming they would make the “perfect couple". The actors looked in their element as they posed with each other at the Olivier Awards on Sunday night after both winning two of the ceremony’s major awards. Mescal, 27, bagged the Best Actor gong for A Streetcar Named Desire while Comer, 30, was named Best Actress for Prima Facie.

Adele Roberts has shared the reality behind her appearance on The Great British Bake Off as she filmed the show while undergoing treatment for cancer. The BBC Radio 1 DJ was one of the latest familiar faces to step foot in the famous tent for a celebrity special of the hit Channel 4 show.

Jodie Comer has caught the “stage bug.” Having triumphed in her debut performance in Prima Facie, she’s avidly seeking to follow up with another production in coming years.

Naman Ramachandran The Royal Shakespeare Company’s theater adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s “My Neighbor Totoro” swept the Olivier Awards on Sunday, taking home six out of the nine categories it was nominated in, including the Sir Peter Hall Award for best director, awarded to Phelim McDermott and the Noël Coward Award for best entertainment or comedy play. The Almeida Theatre also had a successful night, with three of its productions taking home awards. Will Keen won best supporting actor for his performance in “Patriots” and “Tammy Faye” garnered two acting awards – Katie Brayben for best actress in a musical and Zubin Varla for best actor in a supporting role in a musical. Rebecca Frecknall’s revival of Tennessee Williams’ “A Streetcar Named Desire” won best actor for Paul Mescal’s portrayal of Stanley Kowalski and best actress in a supporting role for Anjana Vasan’s performance as Stella. The play also won the best revival award.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic A couple of members of a fresh generation of country music — Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson — came away as the top victors at Sunday night’s CMT Music Awards, broadcast live from Austin for the first time. But the biggest winners may have been CMT and CBS, putting the three-hour telecast on the map as a show packed with enough performance firepower that it does merit having made the move from a cable platform to major broadcast premiere as of last year. However much the official winners may delight a core country crowd happy to see young radio and streaming favorites get rewarded, the big draw for the CBS audience was likely a series of collaborations between country stars and their pop or rock counterparts, as has been the custom for years on the rival CMA Awards. Most notable were the all-female collabs that had Carly Pearce dueting with Gwen Stefani on No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” or Alanis Morissette trading lines with a slate of young female artists that included Lainey Wilson, Ingrid Andress, Morgan Wade and Madeline Edwards. The all-star teamings spread to those who presented, too, with Megan Thee Stallion providing the most enthusiastic introduction imaginable for “my new besty,” Shania Twain.
