    Finn Wolfhard's Stranger Things days might be behind him, but the friendships he forged on the show are not. The actor and singer brought two of his former costars, Gaten Matarazzo and Caleb McLaughlin, onstage during his January 17 Saturday Night Live monologue. The trio joked about what a mixed bag it was to grow up onscreen during the hit series' nearly decade-long run.

    Following backlash over their comments about Rep. Jasmine Crockett, Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers have broken their silence.
    On Saturday, the Las Culturistas podcast hosts walked back their criticism of the Texas Democrat after this week’s ‘I Don’t Think So, Honey’ segment, in which they also took aim at Gavin Newsom‘s potential presidential bid.
    “Hey everybody. I hear the response and I am taking every bit of it to heart, I promise,” wrote Rogers on his Instagram Story. “Transparency and candor matter to me, especially on the podcast. I’m a very progressive person who cares deeply about winning these elections, but my phrasing was not right. I will be more thoughtful! I really do promise.

    Stranger Things premiered its Season 5 finale on New Year’s Eve, closing out the final chapter of the show’s multi-part release. But a growing fan theory circulating on social media, dubbed “Conformity Gate,” suggests the ending viewers saw wasn’t the real one. In fact, some believe another episode is coming later this week.
    In Episode 8, the Hawkins crew devises a final plan to enter the Upside Down, rescue the kidnapped children and defeat Vecna once and for all. Despite major obstacles — including the military discovering and interfering with their mission and Kali’s death — they locate Vecna’s lair deep in the Abyss, inside the Pain Tree, which is revealed to be the Mind Flayer itself.
    With Eleven entering the Mind Flayer’s body to confront Vecna from within, the rest of the group attacks the monster from the outside. Will taps into the hive mind one last time to save Eleven and help her push Vecna’s body into a massive spike. Joyce delivers the killing blow, chopping off his head with an axe after he “f—ed with the wrong family.”

    Timothée Chalamet is making Kylie Jenner his muse.
    After fueling internet rumors that he had secretly taken up the rap alter-ego EsDeeKid, the Marty Supreme actor put the speculation to rest by making a surprise cameo alongside the musician in a remix video for the song “4 Raws,” where he added his own verse—complete with a lyrical reference to his girlfriend’s staggering net worth.
    “It’s Timothée Chalamet chillin’, tryin’ to stack $100 million,” he rapped on the track released Dec. 19, adding, “[My] girl got $1 billion.”
    Despite the musical hat tip, Timothée, 29, has avoided sharing details about his romance with Kylie, 28, notably declining to discuss the relationship during a recent interview.

    A shocking elimination has taken place ahead of the finale on "Dancing With the Stars" Season 34.
    Last episode, on Nov. 18, was Prince Night and the semifinals. Each couple performed two dances to some of the music icon's most legendary hits. The first dance was in a style they had not yet tackled this season, and the other was a repeat style that allowed them to show the judges and audience how far they've come.
    At the end of the night, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Whitney Leavitt and pro Mark Ballas were sent home in a shocking elimination. Leavitt had been receiving high scores throughout the season, but unfortunately did not get the necessary votes needed from the audience to make it to the finale.

    13:38 It's fine.
    Broadway's The Queen of Versailles will play its final performance January 4, 2026 at the St. James Theatre. The show is the first to announce closing on the first Sunday after the Christmas-New Year's holidays, historically "Black Sunday" on the Main Stem. The closing notice is an abrupt end for the latest Broadway outing from Wicked luminaries Stephen Schwartz (who wrote the new musical's songs) and Kristin Chenoweth (who's starring and co-producing).
    The musical began first previews on October 8 and opened November 9; read the reviews here. Despite a mixed critical reception, the show had been performing well at the box office, making over $1 million a week post opening—making today's closing notice a surprise.

    Heated Rivalry, The Canadian series, now streaming on HBO Max, wastes no time cranking up the heat between rival hockey players Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie), who have no business being as feral for each other as they are behind closed doors. But in the opening shots of this enemies-to-lovers story, something else — something more subtle — is also at play.
