We know it seems like most of Adele's music is about heartbreak, but that's just because she does it so well.

A strike is looming but the work on TV OT continues. Here's this week's column:

Some old Mac Miller music is new again.

Rap beefs are common, but this one came with an Irish tinge.

Lance Bass is now a dad to twins.

The moment Adele fans have been waiting for has finally arrived -- the singer has released her first music in six years, dropping the single "Easy On Me" on Friday.

Coming not long after the splendid Val Kilmer documentary, "Introducing, Selma Blair" provides more deeply personal access to an actor in the throes of a health crisis, following her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2018. In this case, the focus is less on her career than her struggles and treatment, with the goal of assisting others facing similar challenges.

Success hasn't spoiled "Succession," as the Emmy-winning drama returns with all its Shakespearean and Murdochian overtones intact, with a bruising father-son battle over its fictional media empire. Stripped of that, the HBO series remains enormously fun, filled with cringe-inducing moments and the kind of vicious insults that would make the writers of "Veep" blush.

For anyone who watched "I Know What You Did Last Summer" or "Night of the Living Dead" and thought, "I wish that movie was four times longer," Amazon and Syfy have series for you, because it's that time of year for scary shows, and as things currently stand in TV/streaming, anything worth doing is worth overdoing.

Vin Diesel may have viewed his highly publicized feud with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a bit of "tough love," but Johnson is not backing down from what he said about Diesel.

Gloria Estefan is getting candid in a whole new season of "Red Table Talk: The Estefans."

The daughter of the late actor and comedian Robin Williams is aware of the viral video of an impersonation of her father and doesn't want to see it anymore.

Dionne Warwick is not on board with the forthcoming Whitney Houston biopic.

CMT honored the year's biggest country music performers in an invitation-only ceremony from Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Wednesday.

Netflix head Ted Sarandos has reiterated his support for Dave Chappelle and the comic's controversial stand-up special, "The Closer" in an email to company staff.

Jamie Lee Curtis honored her mother Janet Leigh at the recent "Halloween Kills" premiere by replicating Leigh's costume from her iconic role in "Psycho."

"Halloween Kills" is a strange name for a 43-year-old franchise that positively refuses to die. Then again, this 12th film in the series -- a direct sequel to the 2018 reset "Halloween" -- is odd on various levels, starting with the wholly misguided attempt to weave a half-baked message into its bloody mayhem.

"The Last Duel" of the title doesn't disappoint in director Ridley Scott's latest period epic, but the protracted buildup to it somewhat does. A "Rashomon"-like tale that tells its story from different perspectives, this fact-based adaptation of Eric Jager's book is muddy, bloody and grim but too drawn out in filtering 14th-century feudal norms through a modern prism.
