How do you face the challenge of being this year’s Bafta host? practicalpanicI don’t currently feel particularly challenged because everything’s written down for me and I don’t have to worry about winning – or not winning – an award. If it was the first night of a play, I’d be curled up in a corner in the foetal position. But the fact that it’s not my day job certainly feels liberating. Who knows why they asked me; I must have been pretty far down the list. Expectations are pretty much zero. I don’t have anything to…

Donald Trump said that he would “encourage” Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to NATO allies if those allies don’t contribute enough defense spending to the alliance, and Sen.

It’s not clear what Gosling means about “risk.” Maybe it has something to do with the ballad being a show-stopping number that would involve…

These days, it’s not easy for a comedy movie with a theatrical release to make a dent at the box office, but it’s certainly not impossible. 2023’s highest-grossing movie of the year, Barbie, was technically a comedy, but it did have the name of the most famous doll as its title. Other movies, like No Hard Feelings and Anyone But You, made a decent bag of cash as well! New Girl’s Lamorne Morris recently shared his thoughts on a sequel to one of his own movies he’d like to see, and it’s one of those rare comedies that did…

It's been a big couple of years for Kingsley Ben-Adir as he’s taken on several memorable roles, but perhaps the most high-profile part was his take on Ryan Gosling's Ken's best friend, Ken, in last year's blockbuster smash and critically acclaimed Barbie.

Now, the Secret Invasion alum has expressed interest in joining a performance of the popular…
