As I’ve cycled between audiobooks, ebooks, and physical books these last few years, a personal pattern has emerged. I’ve noticed that certain genres, and even subgenres, work better for me as audiobooks rather than physical or ebooks, and vice versa. Then there are the books where I mix and match. When it comes to my

Summer is still in full swing and it’s hot, but it’s not as hot as this month’s selection of new science fiction and fantasy books! Trust me, you’re going to look back on your August 2026 reading one day and say, “Wow, that was a good time!” What’s happening this month? Well, there’s the story
Tracy Borman is the chief historian of Historic Royal Palaces. Her new novel, The House of Boleyn, is out today from Grove Atlantic. Below, she discusses myths and misconceptions about Anne Boleyn. I’ve spent most of my career studying Anne Boleyn and have an almost daily reminder of her bloody fate at the Tower of

Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn’t yet watched Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro on ABC or with a Disney+ subscription. Whether it’s a romantic connection or you’re just creating a vibe, believable chemistry is so important to a performance because you have to sell the story to your audience. And that’s the challenge
Warning! The following contains spoilers for the 90 Day: The Last Resort episode “The Last Draw.” Stream the episode with an HBO Max subscription, and read at your own risk! Shekinah Güven is at odds with just about everyone on 90 Day: The Last Resort, and I was pretty confident it wasn’t for show until
It’s already hard being a working parent but, for a celebrities like Zoe Saldaña, I imagine it can feel impossible. Juggling raising kids and traveling from one new location after the next can be difficult. And, in Saldaña’s case, the hard work really speaks for itself, since she holds a box office record that makes
It’s been a long time since Sandra Oh exited Grey’s Anatomy, with Cristina Yang telling Meredith in one of the medical drama’s best episodes that McDreamy “is not the sun. You are.” In the 12 years that have passed, Cristina Yang has remained a fan favorite, with near-constant questions about a potential return. However, everything
Elf is considered by many to be one of the best Christmas movies of all time (it’s even Prince William’s favorite). Will Ferrell is absolutely hilarious as Buddy, a human who was raised by elves. It’s such a classic that you’d never think there was tension behind the scenes between Ferrell and director Jon Favreau.
Folks… We’ve been diligently working on a special project for awhile now and as most of you know, so many major Hollywood stars had their start in horror, yes, horror, like Charlie Sheen and George Clooney in Grizzly 2 or Jennifer Aniston in Troll or Sharon Stone in Wes Craven’s Deadly Blessing… So… yes it’s
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is not only one of the best sitcoms of all time, but it launched Will Smith to superstardom. The Oscar-winning actor starred as a fictionalized version of himself on the ‘90s NBC series, and to this day it’s a favorite among fans. While Smith developed bad acting habits while on
Alan Ritchson is quickly becoming one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars on the big and small screen, and his widespread popularity will no doubt continue to grow as Reacher Season 4 drops (via Amazon Prime subscription) and Fast 11 gets closer to filming. He technically doesn’t even need to use words to win over critics
The ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker return to his universe, and since then, there have been rumors regarding whether he’ll reprise the role. However, Garfield doesn’t appear in the new Marvel movie, Brand New Day, which centers solely on Tom Holland’s Peter wall-crawler. Despite that, it seems Garfield is
It’s easy to see the dedication on display from The Odyssey’s cast when checking out their performances in the 2026 release. But hearing how far Matt Damon went to get Odysseus right kinda blows my mind. Robert Pattinson, who portrays Antinous, dished on just what it took for Damon to become the Greek hero, revealing
Well, folks, we’re almost there. Avengers: Doomsday comes out December 18th (the same day as Dune: Part 3, making it “Dunesday” for many), and I’m pretty excited. I mean, how could I not be? My favorite Marvel “hero” is Moon Knight, but when it comes to villains, it has to be Doctor Doom. And yet…I
The Michael movie absolutely smashed at the box offices, already making it one of the best musical biopics to come out this year and the first musical biopic to ever gross over $1 billion dollars. The film’s lead, Jaaffar Jackson, nephew of Michael Jackson, instantly became a bonafide movie star, with only one movie under
Shortly upon its premiere, Big Little Lies joined the ranks of HBO shows that got the world talking. The first season was a faithful book to screen adaptation, which fans watched on the network (and streamed with a HBO Max subscription). Season 1 won a 8 Emmy nominations, and the show promptly returned for a
The 2026 movie schedule is filled with legacy sequels, and there’s one particularly irreverent one that’s set to arrive later this month. I’m talking about Super Troopers 3, which sees the members of the Broken Lizard comedy team returning to write and star in the production. Some other franchise alums will also be back in
Even as the dust is settling from Spider-Man: Brand New Day and its mysterious ending and how it may lead to one or both of the Avengers sequels, all eyes are shifting to the next MCU movie to hit theaters, Avengers: Doomsday. Robert Downy Jr. is understandably drawing a lot of attention, thanks to his
Fans who have watched Ben and Erin Napier renovate homes in their town of Laurel, Mississippi, for the past decade were relieved when Home Town survived a string of surprising HGTV cancellations last year. After Season 10 of the home restoration series saw them take on what Ben called their “largest group of extremely difficult
It wasn’t just any Fourth of July. It was America’s 250th birthday, and fittingly, Rolling Stone brought its inaugural Stateside festival to Kingston, N.Y. — New York’s first capital and a city steeped in Revolutionary history. The lineup reflected the occasion. From Vermont headliner Noah Kahan to Austin native Bo Staloch, all 11 artists on
Lollapalooza history was made this weekend when P-pop boy band SB19 became the first all-Filipino group to perform at the Chicago festival. That was just one of the memorable moments that helped define the 2026 iteration of the fest. On Day Two, the red-hot Slayyyter was bumped up to a bigger stage than originally planned,
See our best photos from the superstars’ stadium shows on Aug. 1 and 2, from the fans to the stage BTS roared into East Rutherford, N.J.’s MetLife Stadium Saturday (Aug. 1) and Sunday (Aug. 2) for two shows on their Arirang world tour, breaking out surprise songs “Dis-ease,” “Run,” “Autumn Leaves,” and “Go Go.” On

Independent film studio Dog Food Productions has officially released the first trailer for The Atlas Field (2026), the highly anticipated new feature from visionary director Sid Lucero.

Multi-hyphenate filmmaker Barrett D. Carroll’s new queer horror short, EAT, is set to thrill festival audiences this August. The film has already captured the attention of major genre voices, including Jeffrey Reddick, the creator of the blockbuster Final Destination franchise. Reddick highly praises the short, calling EAT “a visceral, unsettling descent into repression and desire,
Bob Dylan‘s summer tour came to a close August 1 at the Ascend Federal Credit Union Amphitheater in Nashville, Tennessee. It was a tumultuous run of dates marked by the sudden exit of two longtime guitarists, and the emergence of three replacement members who came and went from the tour in unprecedented fashion. And in
