Every month, Netflix welcomes a whole new batch of films to its catalog, which is always exciting to see. However, that also means plenty of films inevitably say goodbye to the beloved streaming service. Unfortunately, there are quite a few top-notch films slated for the chopping block that subscribers will want to check out before they leave the platform next month.

Despite the slew of films planning to make an exit from Netflix in April, there’s still plenty of time to watch them while they’re still around. That being said, don’t wait too long because who knows if they’ll ever make a return. Given the list of films scheduled to depart the streaming service, subscribers will undoubtedly want to check them out before it’s too late.

The UK media watchdog Ofcom has received 825 complaints about last weekend’s televised music industry Brit Awards ceremony.

BBC News reports that the majority of the complaints referred to Sabrina Carpenter’s raunchy performance (shown on pre-watershed evening ITV) and to Charlie Xcx’s revealing outfit.

UK artist Charlie Xcx was the big winner on the night taking home five awards in total across the evening, but headlines were dominated by her see-through black dress. At one point during the ceremony, she told the audience:

“I heard that ITV were complaining about my nipples. I feel like we’re in the era of ‘free the nipple’ though, right?”

Carpenter, who won the international artist award, opened the event with a mash-up of her hits Espresso and Bed Chem, which she blended with British marching anthem Rule Britannia! She was dressed in a military-style jacket paired with stockings and suspenders.

James Blake has stood up for fellow Brits Coldplay, calling for the “bashing” of the band to come to an end because “it’s not cool anymore.”

Blake shared his opinion during a recent episode of the BBC Sounds podcast Sidetracked with Annie and Nick, when he was asked to weigh in on a recent social media post from Chrissie Hynde, in which she shared what she thought was “cool” versus “uncool.”

Host Nick Grimshaw kicked off the conversation by asking Blake whether he thought bands in general were “cool” again. After Annie Macmanus chimed in to say that it was hard to be a cool “successful touring band,” the topic turned to how Coldplay was recently described as “public school Nickelback” by Brit Awards host Jack Whitehall.

In response, Blake said: “Coldplay bashing has got to stop. It’s not cool anymore! It’s not...

Late One Direction member Liam Payne got a posthumous tribute at the 2025 Brit Awards on Saturday, March 1, three and a half months after his death. Host Jack Whitehall introduced the video package, saying, “It is now time to take a moment to remember a very special person who meant so much to so many of the people in this room and to millions of you around the world. Last October, we woke to the devastating news that Liam Payne had tragically passed away.” Whitehall continued: “He achieved so much in the short time that he was on this earth and was not only a supremely gifted musician but an incredibly kind soul who touched the lives of everyone he came into contact with. We have so many amazing memories of Liam here at the BRITs, so tonight we celebrate his legacy and look back and remember the remarkable Liam Payne.

Keke Palmer has built a career across multiple genres, but there is one aspect of acting she has avoided.

In a conversation with The Independent, Palmer discussed her hesitation toward nudity in film and television. “Just because I’m so shy and, you know, embarrassed,” she said. “And to know that people are going to be able to have [those scenes] forever? I could never have the confidence to do something like that! I’m not that bold.”

Palmer has often been recognized for her humor and sharp comedic timing. Despite this, she described a different side of herself. “On a deep level, I think I’ve always been the kind of person that’s felt very lonely or had these big emotions,” she said. “And I always say that people who are considered comedians, or people that make people laugh, they’re not necessarily seen as serious. Usually, though, they’re...

On a chilly east London evening at the 2025 Brit Awards, U.S. native Sabrina Carpenter opened the night flanked by the King’s Guard.

As always, the “Short n’ Sweet” star dazzled with a sparkling corset bodysuit, impeccable vocals and salacious dance moves (so salacious, in fact, that viewers threatened to complain to the country’s communications regular, Ofcom). Renditions of Espresso and Bed Chem were aptly anglicized by giant union jacks cascading either side of the O2 Arena stage.

The Hollywood Reporter was seated at the U.K.’s biggest music awards show. Later on in the night, Carpenter received the Brits’ first-ever global success award. “In a very primarily tea-drinking country you guys streamed the shit out of Espresso,” she laughed. “And you’ve really understood my dry sense of humor because your sense of humor is so dry. So, I love y’all more than you even understand.

The 2025 Brit Awards dedicated a moment of remembrance to the late Liam Payne.

The 2025 Formula 1 season is starting in just a few weeks. This year’s first race is the Australian Grand Prix on March 16th in Melbourne, Australia.

British royal family news teases that Prince Harry allegedly has picked up an unsavory habit from his first wife, Meghan Markle. Being “Markled” is not a good thing and yet it’s made its way into the lexicon, right along with being “Lewinskyed.”

Apparently Ginger Judas was friends with comedian and actor Jack Whitehall prior to 2018, when Harry married Meghan. Is there a connection here? Yes, according to the actor who thinks he was Markled when Grifter came on the scene. The “Bad Education” star claims that the Invictus Games founder “dropped his mates” when he met Markle.

Has The Duke Of Sussex Started Markleing?

Whitehall told the “Jase & Lauren” podcast: “I’ve come into contact with a couple of [the royals] in the past. I was quite good friends with Harry back in the day. Pre-Meghan, when he was a terror.”

This tidbit comes on the heels of John Mulaney dragging...

Joe Dante’s dark comedy The Burbs will become a TV show, with the remake headlined by Keke Palmer and Jack Whitehall. More here.

A little lost in the back catalogues of both Tom Hanks and director Joe Dante is the dark comedy The Burbs. It was sold as a particularly dark comedy, released in the slipstream of Hanks’ big breakthrough hit, Big. Middling critical reactions and modest box office followed, and then – over time – the movie has attracted a growing cult audience. Arrow Video has reissued it on physical media, too.

Now though, the film is getting a television remake in the US, and, well, it’s hard not to shrug the old shoulders a little. The male lead for the new The Burbs is set to be Jack Whitehall, a man who’s put together a growing collection of movie roles in recent years, without really thriving in any of them.

It doesn’t take a lot to see that Prince Harry’s life drastically changed when he walked down the aisle in 2018 after years of searching for his bride.

If we state the obvious ones, then for one thing he became the Duke of Sussex. Perhaps you can remember that time he said people in the Monarchy don’t become useful unless they’re married.

The second, and probably most obvious one checking from the degree it made headlines, was that he and his wife stepped down from their roles as senior royals for a life of freedom and adventure in America.

It looks like there are still a lot of people who are pretty bitter over this. There’s a new report that says Prince Harry dropped all his friends the moment that he met Meghan Markle.

And of course, they still have a lot to say about it. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Prince Harry Dropped All His Friends When He Met Meghan Markle

Comedian Jack Whitehall says that he had a pretty close relationship with Prince Harry back in the day. But that all changed the moment that Meghan Markle entered the picture in 2016. Since then things, just haven’t been the same.

Now, we have confirmation that Harry dumped at least one of his friends — the popular UK comic Jack Whitehall — around the time that he met his future wife.

Whitehall told his story during a recent interview on the “Jase & Lauren” podcast.

Based on Rovio’s popular game Angry Birds, Angry Birds Mystery Island introduces three new Hatchling characters—” Mia,” “Rosie,” and “Buddy”—and a foreign-exchange piglet named “Hamylton” who are mistakenly catapulted onto an uncharted island.

The ragtag bunch quickly learns that, in order to survive and make it back home, they will need to unlock the mysteries of the island together.

Jack in Time for Christmas...

Charming British comic Jack Whitehall, known for making funny out of awkward situations, starts a new journey of personal growth in Netflix’s “Fatherhood with My Father.” Whitehall faces the fact that he will have his first child, which excites and scares him, with his usual mix of self-deprecating humor and fortunate charm.

Following the successful comedic pattern set by “Travels with My Father,” this four-part series brings Jack back together with his famous 80-year-old father, Michael. The idea is delightfully simple and full of comedic possibilities: a man-child comedian getting ready to become a parent with the help of his sarcastic, old-fashioned parent who is always confused by modern life.

As Jack and his partner Roxy get closer to becoming parents, he chooses to go on a kind of educational trip. Instead of getting ready, he picks an unusual path of exploring and having strange experiences. Jack’s approach...

Actor Tony Todd, renowned for his iconic role in the Candyman horror films, has passed away at the age of 69.

Over his 40-year career, Todd portrayed the ghostly character of Candyman in the horror series. Candyman, known for having a hook for a hand, could be summoned by saying his name five times in front of a mirror. Todd originated the role in the first film released in 1992 and continued to play Candyman in sequels released in 1995 and 1999. He reprised his role in 2021 for a fourth film that serves as a direct sequel to the original.

Todd took on the iconic role of Daniel Robitaille, better known as Candyman—a tragic figure shrouded in mystery and pain. As a tortured ghost adorned with swarming bees, Candyman embodies the legacy of an African American artist and son of a slave, whose life was brutally cut short because of his forbidden love for a white woman.

Jack Whitehall, Jennifer Saunders, and Sally Phillips have joined the ensemble cast of the adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s ‘Night & Day.’

The trio will join the previously announced Haley Bennett who will play the lead, with BAFTA-winner Timothy Spall, British singer Lily Allen and German superstar Elyas M’Barek.

Set in an era when glass ceilings were made of concrete, Bennett will play Katharine Hilbery — one woman who insisted on reaching for the stars. Based on what has been called Woolf’s funniest novel, Night and Day is described as an “unromantic comedy” about a passionate astronomer who does everything she can to avoid romantic love and marriage. Contemporary in tone, the story of Katharine’s bold challenge to the Edwardian patriarchy is set against the backdrop of the suffragette movement and advances in science and technology, at the turn of the 20th century.

Before performing in Desperate Housewives, the actress starred in more minor roles on shows like The Young and the Restless.
