I’ll never forget the exact moment I heard that Leonardo DiCaprio allegedly likes to wear headphones during sex.

The Crown‘s fourth season is stuffed with highly anticipated dramatizations of famous moments, but two of the most notable—Charles and Diana’s engagement, and their wedding—take place largely off-camera.

From those conversations,

At one point in The Crown season 4, an Australian spectator expresses disappointment that Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor) is present at an event instead of Diana. “Oh, we only really came to see Lady Di,” he says. In some ways, we’re all a little like that disgruntled fan. We’ve invested in three long seasons just

Tonight, we will see Group A perform for the third time on The Masked Singer, which means we will watch performances from the Sun, Popcorn, and… the Snow Owls. Yes, it is snow owls, plural, which means we not only have to guess one but two singers under this costume. So far, Robin Thicke guessed

Khloé Kardashian may have secretly had COVID-19 months ago (and since recovered), but her family still does not appear to be taking the ongoing pandemic seriously enough to cancel one specific party. Khloé answered some fan questions on her Twitter earlier this week, and she revealed that yes, the big Christmas Eve that the family

You could say Kylie Minogue is the hardest-working woman in the music industry. In her 33-year career, she’s had two Billboard top 10 tracks, seven No. 1 hits, and 17 albums rank in the top 10 in the U.K. The highest-selling female Australian artist of all time, Kylie (sorry to the other KYLIE), now 52,

At the beginning of the pandemic, when news updates were changing drastically by the hour and the future was scarily unclear, the only thing I could listen to was Dolly Parton’s 1977 song, “Light of a Clear Blue Morning.” The songbird-like trill of her voice singing “everything’s gonna be all right, it’s gonna be okay,”

But that’s the exact concoction viewers will be
