Julianna (Lauren Ashley Carter) is a young twenty-something adult performer living in New York who – although somewhat successful – is far from happy. Battling drug addiction and being trapped in a relationship that’s almost at breaking point, Julianna finds herself with a potential way out of the life she currently leads– her almost forgotten talent playing piano. As this is going on, a mysterious being (credited simply as Imitation) plummets to Earth and taking on the form of Julianna – courtesy of a centrefold spread left by a horny teenage boy in the desert – finds herself being taken in by a friendly and shy Iranian immigrant by the name of Saghi (Neimah Djourabchi). With the help of his sister (Sanam Erfani...

Late night hosts wasted no time in slamming President Donald Trump after his Wednesday announcement that he was reinstating a ban on transgender individuals serving “in any capacity” in the U.S. armed forces — but none did it with as much pizzazz as James Corden.
Sporting a top hat and bow tie, the Late Late Show host sang a parody of Nat King Cole’s “L-o-v-e” titled “L-g-b-t,” and included lyrics that showed his support for the community.
“L, he doesn’t care for lesbians/G, he thinks two men should just be friends/B, to his dumb knowledge is...

Logan Ireland, an Air Force staff sergeant who began his transition to a man after two years of service, tells People exclusively that he’d “love” to meet with President Trump and discuss the implications of the new sweeping ban on transgender military personnel.
“For the President to deny an able-bodied, fully qualified person the inherent right to raise their right hand and serve their country, potentially giving their own life for our freedoms, is doing this country an injustice,” Ireland says.
He continues, extending his invitation to Trump for a conversation, “I would love for my President to meet...

This year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special confirmed that Clara Oswald will be staying in the Tardis for Series 9 but, if the recent rumours are to be believed, she won’t be the only companion joining the Doctor for his 2015 adventures.
The task of adding a third party to the proceedings doesn’t come without its fair share of risks but some would say it’s just what the show needs in order to throw a spanner into the works, especially now that the Doctor and Clara are seemingly at their most comfortable together. But just who could be about to step aboard the Tardis to show ‘em how it’s done? There’s no point speculating because fans have already met her and it will probably come as no surprise to hear that it’s Shona McCullough from Last Christmas.
Although the Doctor showed a particular liking to...

This day has been an emotional rollercoaster.
The facts and details of the Christmas episode have been kept strictly secret, and for good reason. Rumors flew that Jenna Coleman was leaving the series just as the new season was a-borning, and her go-to answer for the events of the special was “If you know if I’m staying with the series, it’ll ruin the ending”. A spectacularly surprising cameo, a hilarious guest star, and a plot that keeps unfolding like a fried onion makes for a ripping yarn for the holiday. But for most of the year, we were never sure or not if this was to be Clara’s…
