It's Halloween Week on Strictly Come Dancing! And that means plenty of frightful routines full of vampires, zombies, and supervillains. Yes, it's a favorite of the Strictly audience and it's always a delight to see the commitment of the costume department to bring the spooky show to life.

The only thing that wasn't frightful, however, was the quality of dancing. This was undoubtedly one of the highest-quality Halloween weeks in Strictly Come Dancing history, as we opened with some strong routines and kept that energy up right until the end. In fact, the lowest score was 26, meaning that there were just 12 points between those couples and the ones at the top with 38. Quality!

But who shone tonight in the Strictly Spooktacular? Here are all the Strictly spoilers, results, and scores from the Week 6 Saturday Night show and all of the events that took place on the dancefloor.

Anna Delvey is holding nothing back in the of her elimination from Dancing with the Stars.

After getting the boot from this competition early last week, Delvey actually told NBC News that she believes she was treated unfairly by executives and producers.

“I feel that the show so obviously used me to drive up the ratings, that they never had any plans to give me any chance to grow and only cared about exploiting me for attention,” the convicted felon told this outlet last Friday.

This, of course, is especially rich coming from Anna Delvey.

As we just cited, she is a convicted felon who is currently under house arrest.

Delvey was convicted in 2019 by a New York state court of three counts of grand larceny, one count of attempted grand larceny and four counts of theft of services,...

Good Deed Entertainment has acquired worldwide rights to Hangdog, a comedy movie starring Desmin Borges and Kelly O’Sullivan.

Director Matt Cascella’s feature is scheduled for release via digital platforms on Oct. 25, which will be preceded by advance theatrical screenings in select cities. Rounding out the cast are Barbara Rosenblat, Steve Coulter, Catherine Curtin and rescue dog-turned-performer Mr. Tibbs.

Set in Portland, Maine, Hangdog centers on Walt (Borges), who deals with anxiety while attempting to retrieve his stolen dog before his girlfriend, Wendy (O’Sullivan), returns from a business trip.

The film earned audience awards at the Woods Hole and New Hampshire Film Festivals. It has also screened at the Provincetown International Film Festival, the Berkshire International Film Festival and the Calgary International Film Festival.

Cascella helmed the film from a script by Jen Cordery. Cascella, Borges, Alyssa Roehrenbeck and Patrick White serve as producers.

A family of diffident superpowered misfits who get manipulated through a major part of their lives by their eccentric, genius father figure; try to accept their true selves by gaining a sense of purpose through their personal journey, and eventually strengthen the bond among themselves while facing absolutely bonkers situations and doomsday scenarios time and again. If this seems like a description of HBO Max’s underrated comic-book series Doom Patrol to you, then you are both right and wrong, as it’s pretty much the basic premise of Netflix’s hit series, The Umbrella Academy. Putting it like Number Five; think of Doom Patrol, but aim lower. In all seriousness, The Umbrella Academy has garnered massive acclaim and love from viewers throughout three seasons thanks to its zany humor, crazy antics, wacky yet relatable characters, and their struggles—perfectly following through on the source material, the comic-book series of...

While some surprises can be nice, The View fans were not okay with the network’s latest decisions. Recently, fans expressed their anger over the latest episode that was aired.

Scheduling Shake-Up

Unexpectedly, The View had a major scheduling mix-up that left fans up in arms. When the fans went to watch their regularly scheduled program, they were in for a rude awakening. Unbeknownst to them, the panelists were taking some time off the air. Little did they know, the episode airing was a month-old replay, but fans caught on quickly. Understandably, the sneaky move left many fans raging upon the discovery of the show not being live. Although fans are enraged, the daytime TV network is offering a return date to appease the masses in the meantime.

“Dancing with the Stars” season 32 is getting closer to the end. We’re in week nine of the competition with only six competitors left out of the 14 we started with. So what will happen when those remaining celebrities perform to songs by one of the world’s biggest stars in “A Celebration of Taylor Swift”? Scroll down for our live blog with all the minute-by-minute developments and commentary as the night progresses.

Last week “Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams was the eighth celebrity eliminated from the competition, leaving six to compete for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy: actress Xochitl Gomez, actress Alyson Hannigan, “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey, “The Bachelorette” alum Charity Lawson, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix and singer-songwriter Jason Mraz.

This celebration continues a career-peak year for Taylor Swift. She has had three number-one albums: “Midnights,” “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version...

“Dancing with the Stars” made it through an emotional “Most Memorable Year Night” and a spooky “Monster Night.” Now seven weeks into the competition comes “Music Video Night,” where the celebrities will perform routines inspired by some iconic visuals. So who had the best routines, who struggled on the dance floor and who was eliminated at the end of the evening? Scroll down for our live blog for all the minute-by-minute developments and commentary throughout the night.

Last week “Real Housewives” personality and real estate agent Mauricio Umansky was the sixth celebrity eliminated from the competition, leaving eight to compete for the Len Goodman Mirror Ball Trophy: actress Xochitl Gomez, actress Alyson Hannigan, “Too Hot to Handle” star Harry Jowsey, “The Bachelorette” alum Charity Lawson, “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix, singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, social media personality Lele Pons and “Brady Bunch” actor Barry Williams.

There are two rounds of competition on “Music Video Night.

Week three of “Dancing with the Stars” brought “Motown Night,” in which the celebrities performed new dance styles — mostly foxtrots — to songs like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes and “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5. So who busted a move, and whose moves were busted? Follow along below with our live blog for all the minute-by-minute developments and commentary as the night progresses.

“Saturday Night Live” is coming back to the air next week. Yes, there is still an actors strike going on, but yes, this is Ok. SAG-AFTRA even says so.

But if you’re still wondering why “SNL” is back on the air, your questions are warranted. “SNL” isn’t a game show or reality show that just has a celebrity host. It airs on NBC, whose parent company NBCUniversal is a struck member company with the AMPTP. And generally, they’re getting hosts who have something to promote, which is a strike no-no. In fact, Pete Davidson, who will be the host on the season premiere October 14, was supposed to be the host just before the writers went on strike and cut “SNL’s” season short.

This is hardly the first time SAG-AFTRA has had to clarify to members what actors can and can’t work on during the strike.

Dancing with the Stars viewers are calling foul on judges Carrie Ann Inaba, head judge Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli. They claim the trio was “underscoring” beloved TV star Barry Williams after a lively Cha Cha for Latin Night. Fans believe “they did him dirty” by giving the entertainer scores that placed him toward the bottom of the leaderboard.

Fans believe judges were ‘underscoring’ Barry Williams’ on his challenging Cha Cha

Dancing with the Stars Season 32 cast member Barry Williams entered week two of DWTS facing a challenging Cha Cha for Latin Night. Peta Murgatroyd trained Williams in the dance, incorporating small, quick steps rather than long glides across the dance floor.

In a video package accompanying William’s Cha Cha, Peta Murgatroyd and other competing couples celebrated Williams’ 69th birthday in a DWTS rehearsal room. The former Brady Bunch star admitted a great birthday gift would be high scores from the judges.

For the love of jive, look what’s back on ABC!

For a minute, it didn’t look as if the mirror ball would return home on time. The ongoing strike and the preponderance of picketers had the network flirting with the possibility of postponing tonight’s season 32 premiere of Dancing with the Stars. But a deal was finally hammered out on Sunday and earlier this evening, the WGA declared the strike would officially end at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. What better way to celebrate than watching a bunch of celebs break out in dance?

But before the competition can begin, the cast paid tribute to the late Len Goodman — who now has a Mirror Ball trophy named after him! Goodman, DWTS‘ former head judge, died in April at 78.

Take it away, Alfonso Ribeiro!

Dancing With the Stars‘ host, Alfonso Ribeiro, has suffered a concussion. Will this jeopardize his appearance on the season 32 premiere of the ABC reality competition dance series? Here are all the details.

‘DWTS’ returns, but will Alfonso Ribeiro be in the ballroom?

Alfonso Ribeiro is scheduled to helm the 32nd season of ABC’s DWTS when the series returns beginning Tuesday, Sept. 26. His co-host is Julianne Hough, former DWTS pro, judge, and two-time mirrorball winner.

The entertainer shared the story of his injury with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on Live With Kelly and Mark. While attending his son’s baseball game, Ribeiro was struck in the head by a flyaway ball, causing a concussion.

“I got concussed last week. I was standing off to the side, and I’m putting someone’s number in the phone and, boom, a ball to the back of my head. Right in the back,...

Willie Nelson is a legendary country artist and, apparently, a fan of the Country Bears. This singer had a cameo in Disney’s live-action movie The Country Bears, revealing that it’s “hard” for him to imagine popular music without this fictional band.

Disney created the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl inspired by their theme park attractions. In 2002, they released a live-action production inspired by a Frontierland classic — The Country Bears.

The film tells the story of a country-rock group, that split up due to… creative differences. When their beloved concert hall is scheduled for demolition, though, the band manager reunites the Country Bears for one last benefit concert.

That’s with the help of a superfan-turned-Country Bear member,...

Strauss will lead consumer marketing campaigns, creative advertising, media and promotions across original series and films for Apple’s streaming platform.

Strauss will be based in Culver City.

Cooper Raiff began the pandemic by taking the top prize at the Covid-canceled 2020 SXSW film festival with his feature debut, Shithouse. Less than two years later, his sophomore effort — Apple’s Cha Cha Real Smooth, which follows a recent college graduate who strikes up a friendship with young mother Domino (Dakota Johnson) and her autistic daughter, Lola (Vanessa Burghardt) — premiered at Sundance. Raiff talked to THR about writing and directing his second feature, casting authentically and finding out what size movie works best for him.

Dancing with the Stars‘ first season on Disney+ has come to end! So much change has already been announced going into tonight’s season 31 finale. First, judge Len Goodman and Cheryl Burke have called it quits. Then, Disney gave Bob Chapek the heave-ho and rewarded Bob Iger with his old CEO seat. A desperate plea from the cheap seats, Mr. Iger: return the mirror ball to ABC! I think we can all agree that this streaming experiment has gone the way of the polka: no one wants Disney+ anywhere near the ballroom. Perhaps moving it back home to Mondays on ABC can be your next major decision after lowering the price for the Genie+ line-skipping service at the parks?

All 10 remaining couples danced exclusively to songs by Michael Bublé on Monday night, who also subbed in as a very generous guest judge. The pop vocalist also performed “Sway” and “Higher,” to which Derek Hough choreographed a sexy film-noir performance.

But the highlight of the night was Shangela, who channeled Lady Gaga at the Oscars as she and partner Gleb Savchenko tangoed to “Hollywood.” With so many comments throughout the competition about keeping her legs “crispy,” she surprised judge Len Goodman with a fried chicken breast she’d kept in her cleavage, then presented a surprised Tyra Banks with another. Goodman pronounced the dance “finger-licking good” and her best of the season so far.

There’s no one better to judge “Michael Bublé Night” on Disney+’s Dancing with the Stars than the Grammy Award-winning artist himself. Bublé will join the judges’ table for the Monday, October 24, 2022 episode featuring the 10 remaining couples.

Michael Bublé will get the episode started with a live performance of “Sway.” The season’s female pros will perform a routine choreographed by Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy. The episode will also feature judge Judge Derek Hough giving a special performance to “Higher” with his fiancé Hayley Erbert and the pro dancers.

Hey, "Dancing With The Stars" fans. Tonight, October 18, 2022, another new performances/results episode of Dancing With The Stars' current season 31 did indeed arrive. Judges: Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli were, of course, back for another night of critiques and scores. Tonight's theme was Prom Night for some reason. Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart kicked off tonight's performances with a Cha Cha number to "Sexyback" by Justin Timberlake. Afterwards, Len said, "I liked the hip action, but your free arm needs to move more." Derek said, "I appreciate your swag and confidence, but your footwork got a little messy." Bruno said, "You can turn on the sex appeal at will, and it was on the right level, but you need more work on your footwork." Carrie Ann said, "This was a solid routine, but you need to exaggerate some of your movements. Your movements, right now,...

“Dancing with the Stars” started its “Stories Week” two-night event with “Most Memorable Year,” and it was even more memorable than we expected going in. So how did the celebrities all pick themselves up and carry on with night two? Follow along with our “Dancing with the Stars” “Prom Night” live blog below.

For “Most Memorable Year,” we were anticipating an elimination at the end of the night, but what we got instead was a surprising withdrawal. Actress Selma Blair, who has multiple sclerosis, decided to leave the competition on the advice of her doctors, who noticed worrying signs of injury from her MRIs. It was a tearful end to an evening that already included many tears from stars celebrating their parents, children, spouses, and other life milestones.

(Spoiler alert! This article reveals the results from Monday’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars” on Disney+.)

While Vinny Guadagnino earned the lowest scores of the evening, he was saved by the audience vote, who loved his spirited, if not technically perfect, rumba to “Thunderball.” Cohost Alfonso Ribiero gave Vinny to respond to Len Goodman’s “blocky” critique by doing his own review as the Brit: “It was rubbish, but he knocked my socks off,” said a game Vinny in his best British accent.

Former “Charlie’s Angels” star Cheryl Ladd and her partner Louis van Amstel have been eliminated from the competition, with all four judges opting to save Sam Champion & Cheryl Burke.

“Dancing with the Stars” season 31 began on Monday night, September 19, 2022, after its fall 2021 season crowned Iman Shumpert the show’s first ever Mirror Ball champion to come from the world of basketball. There are no NBA stars in this year’s lineup of celebrity contestants — or any pro athletes, surprisingly — but the biggest change this year is where and how it’s airing. It has left its original home on ABC and is streaming live for the first time on Disney+. Scroll down for our minute-by-minute commentary in our live blog.

SEEEverything to know about ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 31, from its new network to its new producer

There are a couple more major changes affecting the show in its big move. The first is the return of the original “DWTS” showrunner, Conrad Green, who had left the show after season 18. And the second is the addition of Alfonso Ribeiro,...

Sundance prize winner Cooper Raiff (Cha Cha Real Smooth) has partnered with former Black Bear Pictures development executive Clementine Quittner to launch Small Ideas—a new production company that will develop and produce indie projects across film and television.

Raiff hinted at the move, and even cited the name of his new shingle in a recent chat with Deadline, which had him discussing the viability of small, carefully crafted projects in the ever-evolving entertainment marketplace.

“I feel really confident about small things. I’m going to start a company and probably call it Small Ideas,” the filmmaker said in the interview published back in June. “There’s a very good, lucrative market for making small things and flipping them, and if you’re okay with them being maybe like a streamer-theatrical duo, I think everyone should be really feeling great and confident about getting their stuff made that they want to make.

These new photos of Dakota Johnson will officially have your spidey-senses tingling.   The Cha Cha Real Smooth star, 32, was recently spotted in Boston filming Sony Pictures' upcoming Spider-Verse installment Madame Web. In photos from set, Dakota can be seen sporting a fitted black t-shirt, light wash blue jeans and a pair of black Doc Martens.   The actress completed her superhero look with a black belt and a red leather jacket that has caught the attention of some Spider-Man fans online. Her flashy outerwear appears reminiscent of the coat worn by the Spider-Man character Julia Carpenter, who has donned the distinctive ensemble in the comics. Julia was...

The Hollywood Critics Association announced the nominees for their 5th annual midseason awards, with Everything Everywhere All At Once scoring eight nominations! X, The Black Phone, and other horror titles are also recognized, and you can view the full list of nominees below:

(Los Angeles, CA – June 28, 2022) The Hollywood Critics Association has revealed its full list of nominees for the 5th Annual Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Awards.

Each June, the members of the Hollywood Critics Association come together to take a look back at the films released during the first half of the calendar year. During the second to last week of June, the members of the Hca vote on the films that they believe stood out as some of the best that the year had to offer so far.

“2022 was the first year since 2019 where theaters saw a true return to normal,” notes Hca Founder, Scott Menzel. “While the...

As time has gone on, moviegoers have been given more and more access to the behind-the-scenes of cinema and the filmmaking process. Nowadays, there's a clearer idea about the complexity and difficulty of creating a film. If being the director of a feature is already recognized as a herculean task on many levels, imagine also being solely responsible for the screenplay and playing the main character in addition to directing. At just 25 years old, Cooper Raiff is one of the most promising filmmakers working today, delivering one of the best movies of the year with Cha Cha Real Smooth, where Raiff nails these three roles impressively. Appreciating a film or not always depends on subjective opinions, no exceptions. However, some movies are able to detach themselves from the usual Hollywood drama and offer incredibly relatable humanistic stories, allowing viewers who have lived the same experiences as the characters to have...

After the success of 2020’s Shithouse, 25-year-old filmmaker Cooper Raiff had expectations for a follow-up. His sophomore feature, Cha Cha Real Smooth, finds the young writer-director once again casting himself in the main role, this time as Andrew, a recent college graduate without much direction. Combining a larger budget, a more recognizable supporting cast, and a Sundance premiere, the indie dramedy won the festival’s Audience Award and the hearts of the folks at Apple with a 15 million distribution sale.

Raiff’s second film features many of the same flourishes as his first. Millennial needle drops fill the silences between bars rather than college parties, but the genuine tone remains the same. There’s an earnestness embedded within each character, an honesty that Raiff hopes to capture, along with tidbits of insight into the messiness of being in your early 20s. Not all of it works, but how can it?...

Mubi Go, which has helped buoy NYC’s arthouse market by offering members a free movie ticket a week at participating theaters, expands to LA today where the biz could really use a boost. The films are curated and the first is Apple’s Cha Cha Real Smooth.

Mubi, a global streaming service, production company and film distributor, launched Mubi Go in New York last fall and will continue expanding to major markets through 2022 with Chicago next. “We’re being very careful and methodical about the rollout,” said distribution chief Chris Wells.

Mubi members get Mubi Go as a perk. The company doesn’t release subscriber numbers but Wells said its NYC base jumped by 30 after it added Mubi Go.

Movie picks include its own releases, like Lingui, The Sacred Bonds, but mostly from other distributors from Drive My Car, The Power of the Dog and Passing to We’re...

Burning (Lee Chang-dong)

After Poetry, it makes sense that Lee Chang-dong would find himself interested in deconstructing another literary genre: the murder mystery. Adapting Haruki Murakami’s short story “Barn Burning” for the screen, the South Korean master has created something that feels akin to a real page turner, with each cut, the tensions, and the mystery rise as we become desperate to know whatever happened to Shin Hae-mi (Jeon Jong-seo), the young woman who went missing, leaving her childhood friend Lee Jong-su (Yoo Ah-in) searching for her. With pulpy characters, including a delicious Steven Yeun as a mysterious Gatsby-like figure, and a dark sense of humor, the film also serves as a study of class and the way in which the...

From the perspective of filmmaker Cooper Raiff, Cha Cha Real Smooth embodies a specific kind of “feel-good” spirit of which he’s always in pursuit.

The Sundance Audience Award winner is the up-and-coming multi-hyphenate’s second feature, on the heels of his 2020 crowd-pleaser Shithouse, which proved a success in spite of a release hobbled by the Covid pandemic—being picked up for release by IFC Films after winning SXSW’s Grand Jury Prize. The coming-of-age drama centers on Andrew (Raiff), a who strikes up a friendship with young mother Domino (Dakota Johnson) and her autistic daughter Lola (Vanessa Burghardt) while working as a Bar Mitzvah party starter. Like Raiff’s first feature, Cha Cha is a charmingly intimate and sincere, relationship-driven indie of great quality—the kind that was able to achieve significant success and seemed more commonplace as recently as a decade ago, but is now much harder to find.

ChaCha put together a list of actors who have died the most in their movies. Topping the list is Robert De Niro with fifteen deaths, including ones in "Cape Fear," "Frankenstein" and "Jackie Brown." Bruce Willis also made the list and was actually killed twice by his ex-wife Demi Moore in "Mortal Thoughts" and "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." Brad Pitt is in top ten as well, but his deaths are a bit odd. He died in "Cool World," but returned as an animated character. He died in "Fight Club," but never actually existed. And he died in "Meet Joe Black," but came back as Death. The list is far from perfect, since it doesn't include Leonardo DiCaprio (The Departed, Titanic, Blood Diamond), Kevin Spacey (Se7en, American Beauty, La Confidential), Samuel L. Jackson (Deep Blue Sea, True Romance, Jurassic Park), or John Travolta (Pulp Fiction, Face/Off, The Punisher). Plus, there...
