Despite the threat of Russian interference in 2020, Republican Senators on Tuesday shot down Democrats’ attempts to pass three election security bills, blocking their unanimous consent motions on what Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer described as “bipartisan, non-controversial bills.” “We need substantive legislation,” Schumer told reporters after the consent motion failed. “We’ll see if our

Amber Rose honoured her sons Sebastian Taylor and Slash Electric Alexander Edwards with two tattoos on her forehead.

In the middle of a conversation at the clothing boutique Jeffrey New York on Tuesday night, Nicholas Braun, the very tall actor who plays Cousin Greg on Succession, was approached by a fan of the show. “I’m so sorry to disturb you, but you’re fabulous,” the woman said. “I wish it was on every single
Pamela Anderson appeared to be talking about her quickie marriage with Jon Peters when she posted quite the cryptic message on Instagram after they split. What a whirlwind. Pamela Anderson, 52, looked to be letting her feelings out after she shocked the world not once, but twice, with her 12-day marriage to film producer Jon
Two years after Wes Anderson put out Isle of Dogs (2018), the American filmmaker is back with his newest feature film, The French Dispatch. Searchlight Pictures has just released a first look at the 50-year-old director’s upcoming movie, which is officially titled The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun. The film has been described as
In 2018, Netflix’s film adaptation of novelist Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before became something of a sensation. Starved for this kind of earnest teen romance—a hunger perhaps stoked by Love, Simon, which had premiered earlier that year—people flocked to Susan Johnson’s sweet, colorful film. Johnson and screenwriter Sofia Alvarez figured out

TORONTO — Cineplex Inc. won’t be changing its name, but the theatre chain will probably see some job losses, the company’s likely new owner says. Cineworld PLC chief executive Moshe (Mooky) Greidinger said in an interview with The Canadian Press that he expects he’ll have to shake up some elements of the Toronto-based company that
Rian Johnson’s Lionsgate/MRC whodunit Knives Out has sailed past the $300M mark worldwide. It’s the latest milestone for the box office anomaly that is becoming the second-highest-grossing original movie of 2019 behind Us and also whipping Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’s $142.4M stateside. More amazing: This Thanksgiving release is still in the domestic
Abc/Viacom/Kobal/Shutterstock Talk about a spellbinding moment! Before there was the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, there was Sabrina The Teenage Witch. And the original cast recently had a reunion to celebrate the show, which ended in April 2003. Melissa Joan Hartshared an amazing cast photo on her Instagram this week that showed her posing with her former co-stars. In the
As you can see from the $159.1 million/$140.9 domestic/international split, Knives Out’s box office has broken down far more evenly than you’d see in something like a blockbuster. Internationally, Knives Out has performed especially well in China, where it made $28.4 million as well as the United Kingdom, Germany and Australia, with $16.8 million, $9.7
While the breakout star of The Mandalorian was definitely The Child, I think we can all agree that Gina Carano as Cara Dune also captured our hearts, especially once we found out she was Carasynthia Dune of Alderaan. Knowing she’s a survivor of a world that no longer exists adds dimension to the ex–rebel shock trooper
Love enters our lives in multitudinous forms—family, friendship, passion, even (though not preferable) obsession. The Harry Potter series depicts this multifaceted nature of love, sometimes with true gravity, oftentimes quite humorously. It’s always a bit of a kick for me to revisit these ruminations on love, because each moment (whether poignant, absurd, or heartbreaking) is
When I was in elementary school in the ’90s, lots of books had the trope of two characters switching bodies. My cursory Internet research suggests that this trend has declined in popularity since 2000. Most people probably remember Freaky Friday, Mary Rodgers’s 1972 children’s novel that was adapted into plays, TV series, and movies several
Memoir is a nonfiction genre that I never paid much attention to. I felt like I never really wanted to read about lives that I had no connection to. I have tried to read memoirs in the past and they just did not sit well in my reading life. Perhaps the writing was just bad
There’s no doubt that librarians are some of the best people in the world. They are well read, harbingers of information, and creators of safe spaces. They maintain and teach technology, host gamer battles, sponsor workshops on making podcasts and curating websites and much more. Librarians organize databases and community events. Not to mention they
It is no secret that I LOVE to read aloud. If you’ve known me for more than five minutes, chances are I’ve read to you. Luckily for me, my work as a literacy professor offers me opportunities to read to future and current teachers, as well as to parents and children on occasion. On February
If you’re a Lord of the Rings fan, maybe you’ve probably got a Gandalf-style cloak stashed away in your closet, or own 67 different editions of the book (yup, guilty) or have your favorite lines memorized. So obviously, what you (or your LOTR-loving bestie/sweetheart/kid/parent/etc.) need now is some beautiful Lord of the Rings earrings. From
Ah, Valentine’s Day. The time for bleeding hearts, spilling your emotional guts, and making ourselves vulnerable to new experiences. However, sometimes admitting your feelings for someone seems more terrifying than facing up to a shadowy figure with a chainsaw. So, if you’re too nervous to go out on that date, or want a thrilling ride
I don’t often write posts covering one book. Book Riot isn’t a review site: we’re interested in your reading life and adjacent subjects, not on putting value judgments on whatever it is sparks joy when it enters your eyeballs (provided whatever that is doesn’t hurt anyone else). Every so often, however, a very special book—an
Posted by Lily, Associate Editor on December 17, 2018 When a rumor recently surfaced that Netflix was pulling “Friends” from its lineup at the end of the year, Twitter collectively lost its mind. No need to panic yet (Netflix has the rights to the ’90s phenomenon till the end of 2019), but the uproar proved
Posted by Savanna, Assistant Editor on December 13, 2018 This is always one of my favorite posts to put together—who wouldn’t want to gaze at shirtless men and glorious gowns?

Posted by Savanna, Assistant Editor on December 18, 2018 Every year, the BookPage editors get together to create the best books of the year list, but also its slightly more superficial stepsibling, the best covers list.
