He had filled a notebook with some 80 verses before recording the song, which he said despite its religious references to David, Bathseba and Samson was an ... (more...)

Movie Hits $75 Million In US Debut
- November 25, 2016

These tie-ins to the first eight films make this movie seem more like a prequel than a separate spinoff.

It confirms Warner Bros' high hopes for the property and its decision to back five installments in the fantasy series. The Sony Corp. drama Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk , about a combat veteran, earned $930,000 and placed 14th after expanding to more than ... (more...)

- November 25, 2016

GIGI HADID & JAY PHAROAH actually turned out to be a amusing pair hosting this years telecast. She spoke of being honest and truthful, noting, "I don't wanna see your bodies on Instagram: I wanna see what's in here".

Son-in-law could be 'very helpful' in brokering peace
- November 25, 2016

Fear and trepidation are slowly building up, as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump is fortifying his transitional team with people capable of bringing about a nightmare scenario, not only for Americans but for the rest of the world as well. I had a great time, really. "I really liked him a lot". I mean he knows it so well. "I probably thought that maybe I wouldn't, but I did". "He did tell me what he thought were the biggest problems, in particular one problem", Trump said, but declined to ... (more...)

Avengers and X-Men Crossover Hopes Shot Down By James Gunn
- November 25, 2016

What's even more impressive is that one of them still hasn't been discovered. Gunn wouldn't have made this post just to be a troll. But if it doesn't exist, Gunn may be out of pocket a substantial amount of money. The commenter soon backtracked, because Gunn might have $100K to throw around, but the rest of us probably don't. Gunn's offer is sort of like reverse psychology - instead of searching for an easter egg, now know-it-all fans will be searching for the absence of one, which is ... (more...)

Beyond that, we should get some answers about Luke and Lorelai and whether they eventually tie the knot (I think they will in the fourth episode) and Rory who may end up with one of her exes or she could meet a new young man we meet this season. (more...)

Trump's mind-boggling conflicts of interest
- November 25, 2016

On that technical point I was right, but in a practical sense it didn't matter. Trump concluded: "So I'm going to be studying that very hard, and I think I have a very big voice in it". Justice Department investigations are historically conducted without the influence or input of the White House. As for global warming, Trump has repeatedly questioned the idea, suggesting at times that it is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese to hurt US manufacturers with environmental regulations. (more...)

Both sides had already qualified to the knockout stages, but a victory at the Emirates Stadium would have been enough for the Gunners to top the group and potentially draw a more comfortable tie in the round of 16. "It has happened a couple of times lately", he said. Alex Iwobi's 77th minute own goal - that resulted from a poorly defended corner - was enough to give PSG a welcome point, and frustrate the home side. (more...)

Barcelona conquer Celtic 2-0 to advance as group toppers
- November 25, 2016

Yet the weekend stalemate and Messi's brilliant double on Wednesday, which took his Champions League total to a remarkable 92 goals including nine in this season's group stages alone, reignited the debate about his role in the team. The referee didn't give us much during the game, but that's how it goes sometimes. Edinson Cavani gave the French champions a deserved early lead and they looked comfortable until Olivier Giroud equalised with a penalty seconds before the interval. (more...)

Hillary today tweeted a smattering of supportive messages from people who still believe that maybe - just maybe - the person with a 2 million lead in the popular vote might have made a better president than Trump.
