    Trump and Harris Blame Each Other After Another Assassination Attempted is Thwarted. Who’s to Blame?

    After another Trump assassination attempt is thwarted, the two campaigns point blame at each other for the heightened rhetoric... using heightened rhetoric. Speaking of unnecessary rhetoric, the Where’s Waldo of former White House press secretaries, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the current governor of Arkansas, took a jab at Vice President Kamala Harris for not having kids. And while America is riveted by the federal charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs, we’re simultaneously cheering on a felon prance her way through Dancing with the Stars, ankle monitor and all.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Rumaan Alam’s New Book ‘Entitlement’ Shows the Haunted Trappings of Wealth

    Bestselling author Rumaan Alam is happy to come out of hiding to promote his new novel Entitlement (September 17). “I spend all of my time here in this room hunched over this very computer, it's nice to have an opportunity to exist outside of that.” After the massive success of his last book, Leave the World Behind, Alam is once again focusing on class, but this time honing in on money. “We valorized the rich in this society, and by the same token, one must logically admit that we disregard the poor.” Entitlement follows Brooke as she navigates the sometimes-disturbing world of the megarich and the concerning impact it can have on regular people (whatever regular means anymore). “You can't help engaging or understanding yourself and your accomplishments in American life via money.” Set in the not-too-distant past, the novel says a lot about where we are now and how we got here. “[Michael] Bloomberg as mayor was a fascinating cultural turn. It was the point at which we accepted if you are rich, maybe you know how to do something better. Which is obviously, on the face of it, ridiculous...the end result of that is Donald Trump. Somebody who is not gifted at anything, but feels like he presents himself like he is by virtue of his wealth.”  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Jim Parsons Knows Many Fans Will Always See Big Bang Theory's Sheldon

    Fresh off his Tony nomination for Mother Play, Jim Parsons is back on Broadway in Our Town. So, does he not like taking a break? "Until [Big Bang Theory] wrapped in 2019, I did not really know what it was to take a break that was not only extended, but also uncertain." The reason for back-to-back shows—besides theater being "more alive for me now as it...ever has been"—is that "within days of agreeing to one, another came," and, "I felt very strongly that I wanted to do both." Parsons plays the stage manager in Our Town, guiding the audience through "one of the better-known plays in the entire canon of theater, and with a cast of 28." "I said it to Kenny [Leon], the director, in rehearsal the other day, 'This is the first time in a long time that I've worked on something and I thought I could see not really getting tired of [it].'" Parsons knows many will always see Big Bang Theory's Sheldon in his performances, and he's fine with that, because the sitcom "undoubtedly offered me more opportunities as an actor and as a human than without it, there's just no doubt about it."

    Mormons and Soft-Swinging? Sure, Why Not! Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Chat About the Scandal

    When you think of Mormons, you don’t usually think of soft-swinging. But for a group of social media influencers, it was not only a fact, but also the perfect opportunity for a reality show. (Because it’s 2024 and that’s what we do now.) Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives follows Taylor Frankie Paul, the leader of a group of women known as MomTok online, after she caused a storm revealing the group of popular Mormon social media influencers were soft-swinging. The Hulu reality series follows Taylor and the group in the aftermath of the scandal. It also shows Mormons in a whole new light. Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott chats with Taylor and fellow co-star Jessi Ngatikaura about the new series, the scandal, and how it will impact the image of Mormons.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    For Terry Crews, There Are No Rules: ‘I’m Just Getting Started’

    For Terry Crews, there are no rules. “There used to be so many rules. They used to say, ‘you can’t do TV, you must only do movies, you can’t do commercials.’” But Crews has proven you can do all of those things and more. He just joined pal Dave Bautista in The Killer’s Game (September 13). Crews loves that it’s funny, saying “to make people laugh is probably the hardest job in entertainment, because no one can agree on what’s funny.” He also loves that “it wasn’t three hours. I’ve had it with the three-hour movies.” Whether it’s acting or hosting America’s Got Talent, Crews says he polished his comedy skills in an unexpected place while in the NFL. “I honed my skills trying to make other athletes laugh in the locker room.” He’ll be putting that skill to use in the upcoming animated reboot of Everybody Hates Chris. “I have been floored by the acceptance of things I’ve done in the past that have all of a sudden become bigger.” Crews is aware how rare he has it. “I’m an old football player, so everything I’m doing is already past what anyone ever expected.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
