The Talk hosts are getting ready to celebrate their final Halloween episode as the CBS show nears the end of its run.
In just a few weeks, Jerry O’Connell, Sheryl Underwood, Amanda Kloots, Akbar Gbajabiamila, and Natalie Morales will soon say goodbye to the CBS talk show.
However, before they sign off, the hosts are pulling out all the stops to go out with a bang and give fans an entertaining time.
That includes the upcoming Halloween episode.
The hosts took on the alter egos of famous singers, and no option was off limits.
The official Instagram for The Talk revealed the costumes ahead of the episode, and Jerry’s look left fans a bit confused.

Barry Sonnenfeld's adaptation of "The Addams Family" was a massive hit when it was released in November 1991, making $191 million worldwide over a $30 million budget and reintroducing the Addams characters to the pop culture mainstream. The film also kicked off a trend of high-profile cinematic adaptations of classic TV shows; all due respect to 1983's "Twilight Zone: The Movie" and 1987's "Dragnet," but neither of those films exactly lit up the box office. Thus, it was almost a given that an "Addams" sequel be put into production, with "Addams Family Values," hitting screens just two years after its predecessor, in November of 1993.
The first "Addams Family" made the choice to tap into the pop culture zeitgeist in a big way, partially for satiric reasons (one of the delights of the first movie sees Raul Julia's Gomez become addicted to then-current television) and partially for marketing reasons. For the latter,...

Among the five people arrested in the Matthew Perry overdose death investigation were a local physician and the actor’s live-in assistant. Then there was Erik Fleming, listed as the TV star’s “acquaintance,” and charged as a middleman in the deadly ketamine scheme.
The Department of Justice described Fleming’s activities as that of a drug dealer, coordinating with Perry’s assistant and Jasveen Sangha, the so-called Ketamine Queen. According to the DOJ, “after discussing prices with [co-defendant Kenneth] Iwamasa, Fleming coordinated the drug sales with Sangha, and brought cash from Iwamasa to Sangha’s stash house in North Hollywood to buy vials of ketamine.” On Oct. 24, 2023, four days before Perry’s death, Fleming at one point informed the assistant that the ketamine was “on its way to our girl,” in reference to Sangha.
Fleming, 54, pled guilty on Aug. 8 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of...

The 25th anniversary of Deep Blue Sea is generally not seen as a significant cultural event. In the grand context of a world spinning wildly off its axis, finding time to remember that movie where scientists use shark brains to cure Alzheimer’s can be difficult.
Yet Deep Blue Sea deserves to be remembered. Not for the events of the film itself—though it is, remarkably, still one of the best shark movies ever made—but rather for the incredible original rap song that plays over its end credits, “Deepest Bluest (Shark’s Fin).” In that rousing ballad, rapper and Deep Blue Sea co-star LL Cool J delivers what could best be described as a shark’s diss track to the rest of the world sung from the shark’s perspective. Best remembered for the lyric, “Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark’s fin,” it occasionally makes the...

There have been many one-of-a-kind historic events over the last two weeks or so, but arguably — arguably! — the most significant is the release of Katy Perry’s “Woman’s World,” her hilariously catastrophic attempt at a comeback single. Thanks to its brain-dead lyrics (“sexy, confident/ so intelligent”), AI-like chorus, and Perry’s startlingly tone-deaf choice to record a “feminist” song with the likes of Dr. Luke, the song prompted near-universal mockery, and instantly flopped.
“Woman’s World” raises many difficult-to-answer questions. Perry has said its video is meant to be satirical — but...

Unless you’ve been living under a rock with no Wi-Fi, chances are you’ve heard about the “Hawk Tuah Girl,” aka Haliey Welch, a previously-non-famous 21-year-old who went mega-viral for her memorable description of spitting on a dick during sex, in response to a question about the “one move in bed that makes a man go crazy every time” in an Instagram video that would have been viewed by no one in a less stupid world.
Welch’s overnight fame was anything but surprising to Simpsons fans, who have pointed out that the Hawk Tuah Girl seems to be experiencing the exact same arc as the “I Didn’t Do It Boy”: Bart Simpson.
It’s true, Bart’s rise to stardom in the Season Five episode “Bart Gets Famous” arguably parallels Welch’s story in a number of ways.
For starters, both gained notoriety for a catchphrase completely by accident.

Nowadays, when people hear the name Justin Lin, they think big-time Hollywood director with installments in both the “Star Trek” reboot film series and the “Fast & Furious” franchise. But back in 2002, he was just an indie filmmaker with one little-known feature under his belt and not much credit to his name. That all changed with one film, his 2002 Sundance breakout, “Better Luck Tomorrow,” which he also edited, co-wrote, and co-produced with the help of Mr. “Can’t Touch This” himself, Mc Hammer. The film chronicles a group of young Asians in America who start as overachievers but quickly turn to a life of crime and violence. Though not based on a real story, Lin was influenced by the violence he saw in his 20s, such as the Columbine shootings and more directly the murder of Stuart Tay.
Speaking in a retrospective interview on the film with IGN, Lin said of the film’s success,...

The season of the very first sign of the zodiac is here, and that’s exactly why being a leader comes so easy for Aries folks.
And that’s no joke, Aries really don’t know what else to be but a boss, CEO or innovator, because they’d rather play by their own rules. They march to the beat of their own drum and rarely ever need anyone to play backup instrumentals. Their charm, playful personality and great sense of humor make up for their impulsiveness and sometimes hot-temper, and there’s absolutely no other sign who will keep it all the way real with you like an Aries does, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear. They tell it like it is, as dishonesty goes against their entire m.o.
As ambitious as they are — known for being some of the greatest to ever...

So many actors have their beginnings on the stage, doing routines that might seem cringe but are 100% part of who they are: a pre-teen Ryan Gosling with those retro dance moves and Mc Hammer pants, Rodney Alcala smoothly winning over the ladies on The Dating Game and – Ok, maybe that second one doesn’t quite qualify. But here’s another that does: Alan Ritchson on American Idol. That’s right, the star of Reacher once tried to make it big by wooing Paula Abdul.
While Alan Ritchson moved onto Hollywood during the third season of American Idol, he was ultimately cut, with the eventual winner being Fantasia Barrino, who we should note is not a small screen action hero. Ritchson’s standout moment came when he stunned judge Paula Abdul just by being in the room, bringing a smile to her face. He would subsequently personally serenade her with Stevie Wonder...

As of today, the traditionally protective Walt Disney Co will have to deal with an onslaught of Mickey Mouse parodies, mockeries and likely rather explicit variations as the iconic character slips into the public domain.
Sorta.
In the sober light of 2024, Steamboat Willie, the 1928 short that effectively launched the empire that Walt built, can now be used by anyone and everyone. The legal status of Mickey and Minnie Mouse from Steamboat Willie and Plane Crazy, from earlier that same year, has been long fought over and probably not something to which Disney was looking forward. Yet, in a new year that also sees Virginia Woolf’s groundbreaking Orlando, Peter Pan, Charlie Chaplin’s The Circus, Buster Keaton’s The Cameraman and Tigger from AA Milne’s The House at Pooh Corner now in the public domain, if you are anticipating a Steamboat Willie free-for-all, think again.

Members of the Shakur family were also on hand as a stretch of Oakland’s MacArthur Blvd. became “Tupac Shakur Way” to honor the area of Oakland — Tupac’s self-proclaimed adopted hometown — where the rapper lived in the 1990s.

Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and other music stars served as major sources of inspiration behind the Halloween costumes displayed on morning and daytime talk shows this year.
Three shows featured hosts dressing up as Swift, with Today‘s Savannah Guthrie, Live‘s Kelly Ripa and The Talk‘s Amanda Kloots all dressing as the superstar singer-songwriter, with the latter two also passing out friendship bracelets in an ode to Swift’s hit Eras tour.
Live With Kelly and Mark took the Swift inspiration one step further, dubbing their annual Halloween extravaganza The Eras Show as they looked back through different decades of pop culture and of Live‘s own onscreen Halloween celebrations. While Ripa and Consuelos kicked things off with their take on the Barbie movie, they doled out friendship bracelets in an homage to Swift and spoke about the Eras tour inspiration for their show.

There’s something about Eerie, Indiana that brings out even more early ’90s nostalgia than a pair of Mc Hammer pants or A.C. Slater slamming you into a locker. Right up there with Are You Afraid of the Dark? as some of the all-time best gateway TV horror for kids, Eerie always felt like a must watch if you could catch it on Disney or eventually Saturday mornings on Fox Kids Network. The show idea was simple and easy to relate to when you were a kid because every adult in suburbia seemed weird as fuck at the time. Hell, they still do.
In the show, Marshall Teller (Omri Katz) and his friend Simon (Justin Shenkarow) investigate the weird and possibly sinister happenings of their neighborhood and as usual… the adults never believe them.

“Yo-hoo, is this the loser’s room?” asked James Austin Johnson’s Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live’s cold open tonight. “Don’t we love our country, what an awful place it is,” he said later in the skit, nailing the ex-real estate mogul and one of the better political cold opens SNL has had in a long time.
Crashing a one-man pity party by Mikey Day’s phone-breaking Rep. Jim Jordan (R-oh), Johnson’s ever better Trump mocked the never-was Speaker of the House for being rejected by his fellow Republicans. Stressing he “prefers the Jordans who win,” SNL’s Trump blew his own horn on what a great Speaker he would be, as some of the GOP wingnuts have suggested.
“Sadly, I’ll be too busy campaigning,” Johnson mimicked as the much indicted former and perhaps future Potus. “Traveling from city to city, visiting their beautiful courtrooms.

Following Queen Elizabeth II’s death, millions of people around the world watched the late monarch’s funeral. It was a time of mourning for not only members of the royal family but also an entire nation for the loss of a queen whose reign lasted more than seven decades.
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle gathered with other members of the family for the first time in months. And those watching could almost see the tension between the Sussexes and Harry’s relatives. But many of those who analyzed every move the working and non-working royals made missed a moment when the Duchess of Sussex touched the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton). That moment has now gone viral.

Hester Sunshine was eliminated from “Project Runway” last week in episode five, “Seeing Red,” when the designers had to create looks using the same bolt of red fabric. Unfortunately for Hester, it was a material she was unaccustomed to working with, so she ended up with fit problems and construction problems that she was never able to iron out, so to speak. So who’s next to face the fashion firing squad when the designers get nostalgic in “Like Totally ’90s”? Scroll down for our live blog with developments and commentary throughout the episode.

Nothing had prepared William Passano for a new technology introduced in 1960 that threatened to upend his medical publishing business: the Xerox 914 photocopier. The machine offered the ability to produce cheap and quick duplicates that allowed the government’s National Library of Medicine to mass photocopy articles from his company’s copyrighted medical journals. Passano eventually sued in a case that went up to the Supreme Court, which ultimately took a cautious approach to regulating the emerging technology by ruling in 1975 that it was fair use for libraries to photocopy the originals. The justices left Congress to address the novel intellectual property issues raised in the case, leading to key revisions in copyright law a year later.

Ryan Gosling is a very serious actor. His breakthrough performance came in Henry Bean's riveting "The Believer," where he played a Jewish-born neo-nazi. Five years later, he earned his Academy Award nomination for Best Actor as a cocaine-addicted middle school teacher in Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden's "Half Nelson." He earned his second Best Actor nod as a wounded romantic of a jazz pianist in Damien Chazelle's bittersweet "La La Land." In between, he became an art-house tough guy in Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" and "Only God Forgives." But he's not above having fun or looking like a total doofus, as he displayed to endearing effect in Shane Black's "The Nice Guys," but there he's playing hard against the dreamboat type that could've made him one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood.
In other words, given that he's steadfastly refused to give his "The Notebook" fans one more swooning,...

Tina Turner was, by all accounts, simply the best. Not just as a musician, where she released unforgettable hits like "Proud Mary" and "What's Love Got to Do With It?", but also as an actor. You probably remember her scene-stealing, villainous turn in the classic post-apocalyptic action thriller "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome," where she played a woman trying to reboot the world by bringing barbaric capitalism and grotesque industry back to the wastelands.
Auntie Entity was certainly Turner's most memorable role and even won her an NAACP Image Award for Best Actress, but the singing sensation did have an acting career beyond "Thunderdome." You can find her in musical classics like "Tommy" and musical not-so-classics like "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," two films that emphasized her titanic celebrity as a musician. She was also the subject of the Oscar-nominated biopic "What's Love Got to Do With It," which...

She was also the subject of the Oscar-nominated biopic "What's Love Got to Do With It," which...

If you're looking to pinpoint the greatest year in hip-hop, it's going to start with a one, followed by a nine, another nine, and end with a number no higher than five. The genre that grew out of Bronx house parties thrown by sonic pioneers like DJ Kool Herc, and survived the faddish exploitation of the early and mid-1980s had finally come of age. Obviously, there were groundbreaking LPs released prior to the '90s, but it wasn't until we entered the final decade of the millennium that explorers like Hank Shocklee, Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, and Prince Paul refined their sounds to bring hard-hitting East Coast beats and blunted West Coast G-funk grooves to the ears of audiophiles across the country.
Hollywood was listening. They weren't necessarily getting it, but they were listening. Mid-'80s films like "Breakin'," "Beat Street" and "Krush Groove" captured the excitement of the...

Will Smith may well have conquered the globe (or at least he had before the 2022 Oscars debacle). But no matter how many films he stars in, how much critical acclaim he garners, or how much money the man makes, he's always struggled to be respected in the hip-hop world. Try as he might, the West Philadelphia native cannot escape the "corny" label, and as HipHopMadness' video "Why Hip-Hop Doesn't Respect Will Smith" posits, Smith is consistently overlooked when it comes to lists of the top MCs.
Some of that had to do with his decision not to curse in his raps, but there's more to it than that. In his memoir "Will," Smith claimed his "middle-class upbringing contributed to the constant criticism" and addressed the struggle to gain legitimacy in hip-hop (via Insider):

It’s been a wild ride in a post-Thanos world, and in the aftermath of the Blip, it’s a very different Marvel Cinematic Universe. We can’t believe it’s been three years since Avengers: Endgame dusted the Mad Titan, but since then we’ve had everything from multiple Spider-Men to the Multiverse, a black Captain America to a female Thor, Egyptian gods to Celestials, and everything in between.
Without a typical Avengers movie to tie everything together, critics feel Phase 4 of the MCU missed the mark on some levels. Still, we’ve got to hand it to Kevin Feige, he packed a lot in.

The world of James Gunn has never been more eventful than it is right now.
The filmmaker is set to release The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Nov. 25 on Disney+, and he’s also deep in post-production on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, his final film in the Marvel Studios franchise. Last but not least, he just became co-chairman and co-ceo of DC Studios, alongside producer Peter Safran, and the duo are busy planning the next decade of storytelling.

Nicki Minaj is taking the Grammys category change for “Super Freaky Girl” personally.
After calling out the organization for leaving Latto’s “Big Energy” in the rap category, despite moving “Super Freaky Girl” to the pop category, the two artists began trading insults on Twitter.
Latto tweeted out, “Damn I can’t win for losing… all these awards/noms I can’t even celebrate” which Minaj saw as a subtweet over her comment.

"Super Freaky Girl" will compete in pop categories at the 2023 Grammy Awards, and Nicki Minaj is not happy about it. The artist submitted the song to the rap category, but the Recording Academy said the sampling of "Super Freak" by Rick James meant it's designated as pop. In a series of social media posts on Oct. 13, Minaj criticized the committee for "moving the goal post," pointing out the fact that this decision doesn't align with the way the award show has categorized songs in the past. The Recording Academy did not immediately respond to Popsugar's request for comment.
The rapper first retweeted a fan account that said, "Let's also talk about how 'Can't Touch This' by Mc Hammer (which also samples 'Super Freak' by Rick James) was nominated for Rap categories at the Grammys." Minaj added, "Unbelievable."
That same day, Minaj shared additional thoughts and scrutiny on Instagram. "If 'Super...

Coolio, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr., rose to fame in the hip hop world in the mid-’90s after signing with Tommy Boy Records.

On the surface, House of Hammer could be about any number of subjects. Perhaps the legendary British horror production company Hammer. Or maybe the house Mc Hammer had to sell after filing for bankruptcy. Ok, we had to open with some lightheartedness because things are about to get pretty dark.
Now that it is available, details are coming out from House of Hammer, Discovery+’s three-episode miniseries detailing not only Armie Hammer’s troubles, but his great-grandfather, oil magnate Armand Hammer. Armie has allegations of abuse, rape and cannibalism against him, while Armand is depicted as abusive, manipulative and a liar, to say the least. Oh, and it seems Armie’s grandfather, Julian, was a bit of a sicko, too, as he was a drunk who once offered his son a million dollars for his girlfriend. So, think about that next time you’re worried about your seat at the Thanksgiving dinner table.

An unexpected gem of this season has been the (not-so) secret alliance between the co-winners of All-Stars Four, Trinity the Tuck and Monet X-Change. The two queens were under the impression that their fellow competitors would assume they have a professional rivalry with one another as they were forced to split the crown and so Trinity and Monet teaming up would be very unexpected. However, in the previous episode, these two queens decided to try and recruit new members into their alliance which severely backfired. In an attempt to find new members they spoke to front runner Jinkx Monsoon, the ever formidable Shea Coulee and winner of seven twelve Jaida Essence Hall; which means that now over half of the competitors in this season are aware of this ‘secret’ alliance but no new members have actually joined the group. After last week’s improvised, fairytale-inspired courtroom drama challenge was...

Showtime has released a trailer for “Bitchin’: the Sound and Fury of Rick James,” a new documentary directed by Emmy-nominee and hip-hop journalist Sacha Jenkins (“Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men”). Judging by the trailer the doc aims to present an accurate look at one of the most controversial and confrontational figures in the history of R&b and popular music.
James, who died in 2004, is known for his 1980s hits like “Super Freak” and “Give It to Me”; his prison term for a sexual misconduct; and of course Dave Chappelle’s famous parody. Yet as documented in the trailer, his confrontational nature — he was very upfront about his sexual and drug habits, among many other things — have clouded the perspective on his music and his importance, particularly in advancing Black music into the video age. His videos for “Super Freak” and other hits were, along with Michael Jackson’s,...

Update: Digital Underground founding member Shock G, best known as his alter ego, Mc Humpty Hump, died from an accidental overdose, medical examiners said today.
The initial case summary released by the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s office in Florida said Shock G (real name: Gregory Jacobs) died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, ethanol and methamphetamine.

The news was confirmed by Chopmaster J (aka James Dight), who co-founded the Underground with Shock G (born Gregory Jacobs) in 1987. “34 years ago almost to the day we had a wild idea we can be a hip hop band and take on the world through it all the dream...

“My fans and supporters, they really know my story. And I’m an open book,” latest unmasked singer tells TheWrap
(Warning: This post contains spoilers for tonight’s episode of “The Masked Singer.”)
The artist formerly known as Robopine — and formerly, formerly known as Porcupine — was unmasked on Wednesday’s “The Masked Singer” to reveal actor and singer Tyrese Gibson. And before he took his spiky head off, judge Nicole Scherzinger and guest panelist Chrissy Metz were sure Robopine had to be the “Fast & Furious” franchise alum, due to the episode’s clues about him being a blockbuster film star who had lost a dear friend, a reference to the late Paul Walker.
But Scherzinger and Metz weren’t the only ones to decipher Robopine’s true identity, as some “Masked Singer” Season 5 viewers had been guessing he was Tyrese ever since he appeared on the season premiere. Gibson...

Jennifer Lopez and Jimmy Fallon Teach a Master Class in ‘The History of Music Video Dancing’ (Video)
Let’s be fair here: Jimmy Fallon is not a bad dancer. He’s just no Jennifer Lopez — but who is?
The “Tonight Show” host did his best to keep up with the “Hustlers” star and “World of Dance” judge/executive producer Tuesday, when the two presented “The History of Music Video Dancing.”
Fallon and J. Lo started with M.C. Hammer’s “U Can’t Touch This” and transitioned into “Straight Up” by Paula Abdul — a pair of solid movers and shakers in their own right. Then it was time to do “Walk Like an Egyptian,” which isn’t quite up to snuff steps-wise.
They then tackled Milli Vanilli, which was somewhat of a taller order. All Rob and Fab actually did was dance.

Mike Judge Presents: Tales From the Tour Bus season 2 trailer gets seriously funky with Rick James.
The funk is its own reward, we hear in the trailer for Mike Judge Presents: Tales From The Tour Bus season 2, which premieres on Showtime on November 2. The guy that brought us Beavis and Butt-Head is giving viewers the chance to dance their way out of their constrictions and prove we are one nation under a groove. The trailer promises the series will change genres, and offers up a little Rick James "Mary Jane" warnings to the mass transit appeal. It appears Arkansas was very serious about keeping heads straight.
After following country music’s true outlaws in its debut, Mike Judge Presents: Tales From The Tour Bus season 2 will slap on the funk. The new season will focus on funk music greats, including James Brown, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins.
