Peter Gynt is a play with a lot of potential. From the opening scene it is evident that this is going to be an extravagant and large-scale production, and the initial exchange between Gynt and his mother is entertaining and amusing enough.

At three and a half hours,...

Now Minaj has reconsidered her decision. She told the Associated Press: “After...

POSE — CR: Jeffrey Neira/FXOn a misty New York City morning, a party bus drove a gaggle of entertainment writers to a remote area of the Bronx where a pair of soundstages keep creative vigil amid the industrial sprawl of warehouses, plants, and factories. We knew we’d found the right place by the few cast members dressed in their colored costumes standing outside for a break—much like the soundstages, a splash of color in an area teeming with gray. None...

Doing so sent a message of the church...

One Million Moms also has a history of grossly exaggerating its membership. Despite the name, it contains...

Sarah Paulson as junkie ghost Sally McKenna in “American Horror Story: Hotel,” the show’s fifth season.The upcoming season of American Horror Story, entitled 1984, won’t feature much (if any) of lesbian actress Sarah Paulson. She might still appear in a quick cameo or brief role, but she won’t be screaming, crying and killing people as prominently as she usually does. And she’s not the only AHS star sitting this next season out. Paulson has starred in all eight seasons so...
