In the most important election of our country’s history, the Democratic and Republican Parties are neck and neck in fierce competition for the White House.

In times like this, it’s worth knowing who’s on your side and who you can count on. From Oprah Winfrey to Bill Nye, here’s a list of celebrities who’ve endorsed and contributed to the mission of electing current Vice President Kamala Harris and… Read more »

They may have only been up for one award on Saturday night at the Kids’ Choice Awards, but the night definitely belonged to the Jonas Brothers. A who’s who of teen stars were on hand at the 22nd annual awards show, hosted by Dwayne Johnson.

The bands on this tour could have held an open casting call, but they wouldn’t have found a better set of screeching, adoring fans than the sold-out, 98-percent female ’tweens at tonight’s show.Sure, the performers are making a silly poke at the 2001 Ben Stiller-starring comedy Zoolander with their tour title, and they even incorporated Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s “Relax” before playing, but from the crowd’s reaction, this tour might as well have been a serious male model showcase. Young girls nearly broke out into cat fights, storming the stage, shoving their peers (aka competition) just to make eye contact… Read more »
Britney Spears is certainly not the first celebrity to go off the rails in full view of her once-adoring public.

We’ve rated these 1-4 in ascending order… Read more »

Irreverent and bordering on insolent, the MTV Movie Awards have built a following over the past decade by mocking Hollywood as much as celebrating it. Best Villain? Best Kiss? Best Fight? Lifetime achievement awards for Chewbacca from “Star Wars,” and for cameo character actor Clint Howard, the squinty-eyed little brother of director Ron Howard? Such are the honors bestowed at the MTV Movie Awards, which in its 11th year comes not to praise cinema but to parody it. This year’s ceremony takes place Saturday and will be broadcast Thursday (June 6). “We’re always looking to make people laugh. That’s more… Read more »

Mark Mothersbaugh says the score he wrote for The Royal Tenenbaums is a logical progression from the work he did on director Wes Anderson’s two previous films, Bottle Rocket and Rushmore. “Bottle Rocket was a jazz quintet, a little bit quirky,” says the former Devo singer. “Rushmore was a little more Vivaldi influenced, a lot more sixteenth notes. This movie, although the sounds are related to the last two movies, kind of branched out further. I’d never used any horns before. The core of it is a cello and piano. There’s a lot of harp in this movie, a lot… Read more »
