‘The Masked Singer': Korean Hit Comes to the US (Trailer)
I sometimes miss the late 90s/early 2000s era for Fox, when they would air a bunch of the craziest stuff possible on network TV. I’m talking about Glutton Bowl. I’m talking about … well, Glutton Bowl. But The Masked Singer sort of reminds me of that era, and that’s enough for me to be somewhat interested. The Masked Singer is […]

‘Spin the Wheel': Justin Timberlake Creates Game Show
It’s somehow a comfort to me to know that when your pop megastar cache runs out, you can always turn to creating game shows.

‘Sparrow Market’ Art Installation is a Make-Believe Grocery Store

Pizza Patio Set from Boston Pizza
Those with overactive imaginations have long considered the little, oh, I don’t know what it’s actually called, but the little pizza table that comes with some delivery pizzas to keep the cardboard propped off of the cheese (at least I think that’s what they’re f0r), a whimsically small piece of furniture.

Anthony Bourdain’s shocking suicide is still a sensitive topic for his millions of fans.

It has been more than 25 years since we last checked in with Sarah Connor, modern-day mother of our savior against the machines — and I’m talking about the real one, played by Linda Hamilton, not any of her imitators which frankly I suspect are secretly Terminators themselves.
