Patton Oswalt just wants the simple things back when the pandemic is over.

Radio and others may have dropped him, but Morgan Wallen's music is still selling.

As advertisers considered the delicate balancing act this year's Super Bowl required -- striking just the right tone amid a period of stark cultural and political divides and public-health unease -- many blue-chip brands opted to sit this one out.

Ariana Grande keeps breaking records.

Lenny Kravitz's 2015 Super Bowl halftime performance with Katy Perry was memorably great.

Appearing in a Super Bowl ad is super special for Mindy Kaling and her family.

There's no question that "Bridgerton," the saucy Regency-era "Netflix" series, has hit iconic status. In a few short weeks since its December 2020 release, it's become the most popular show in the platform's history and secured a shoo-in second season. It's also courted legions of devoted followers who delight in the show's frothy, yet culturally au courant portrayal of a bygone British era (and abs. They also like the abs).

Christopher Plummer, who starred in "The Sound of Music" and won an Academy Award for his performance in "Beginners," died Friday at his home in Connecticut, his manager said in a statement.

"The Equalizer's" evolution continues, from that stately old British gent in the 1980s to a couple of Denzel Washington movies to Queen Latifah in a new CBS series. But the character isn't all that's changed, as the show adopts more of a team concept than the original's loner, even if the basic template -- a pretty fun one -- still involves a shadowy savior of those in need.

"Framing Britney Spears" skips the more obvious title, "Free Britney," the name of a fan-driven movement that's ultimately the primary focus of this latest "The New York Times Presents" documentary. Although Spears' career, and the media's hounding of her, provide the backbone of the FX/Hulu presentation, there's no escaping a tabloid tone despite the newspaper's pedigree.

Writer-director Sam Levinson spends a good deal of time in "Malcolm & Marie" complaining about critics, which feels like a boxer leading with his chin. Pairing Zendaya and John David Washington, the movie -- quickly and stealthily shot during the pandemic -- wins points for ingenuity, then loses them with its shrill tone and the uneven hairpin turns of its writing.

The Weeknd is going solo Sunday.

He didn't want to be fired, so he quit.

American dog royalty will be making an appearance at Puppy Bowl XVII.

Blackpink. BTS. Netflix's "Bling Empire." If it seems like you are seeing more projects involving Asian performers and storytellers, you are not wrong.

The nominees for the 27th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced on Thursday, and actors whose names were read are pumped.

Following a mass shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas in 2017, there was a great deal of discussion about the culture around the music genre and guns.

Thursday's nominations for the 27th Screen Actors Guild Awards may have helped appease some viewers who felt their favorites were overlooked by Golden Globe Award voters.

The legal feud between Raiders owner Al Davis and the National Football League is the kind of juicy stuff that ought to be hard to screw up, but ESPN manages to do just that with "Al Davis vs. the NFL," a "30 for 30" documentary that fumbles away a juicy premise with one exceptionally bad call: Using "deep fake" replicas of Davis and NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle, both long deceased, to tell the story.

JoJo Siwa is happily in a relationship with "the most amazing, wonderful, perfect, most beautiful girlfriend in the whole world."
