George Clooney reacts to Trump's election win: 'Good for you'
George Clooney, who authored an op-ed calling on then-President Joe Biden to exit the 2024 race, is weighing in on President Donald Trump's election victory. The "Ocean's Eleven" star, 63, reacted to the election results on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Tuesday after his preferred candidate, former Vice President Kamala Harris, lost to Trump.

TV procedurals up their game, with doctors on cruises and quirky single moms solving crimes
The idea for a new TV show came to Craig Sweeny as he was driving. The producer and screenwriter, thinking about how to put his own stamp on a medical series, had to pull over when a familiar figure popped into his mind: Sherlock Holmes. Why not combine a hospital procedural with the lore of Britain’s greatest detective? It would have a medical mystery every week and also tell stories of Holmes’ good friend, Dr. John Watson. It was a mashup of two popular draws, the TV equivalent of peanut butter and jelly. “They’re sort of each their own show-worthy premise in a way. And we’re blessed to have both. So they compete for space in a really interesting way,” says Sweeny.

No longer guilty: How romance books have changed readers attitudes toward sex in real life
Love is in the air – and on the page. Look on any “As Seen on BookTok” table at your local bookstore, and you’re likely to find them: Romance books that seem demure with cursive fonts and illustrated couples on the cover but with pretty explicit sex scenes inside the pages. Because of that, there can be an air of pretentiousness when readers talk about romance novels, saying “I like something with a little bit more substance,” or feeling the need to qualify them as guilty pleasures.
BJ Novak jokes that Mindy Kaling loves being famous at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony
Mindy Kaling is known for many things, but according to her longtime friend and “Office” costar B.J. Novak, she especially loves being known for, well, being well known. Kaling was honored on Tuesday when she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where Novak made a heartfelt speech that also poked fun at Kaling’s love of being famous, even if it’s a “weird” part of the job that she never really signed up for. “Mindy respects and understands this in a very intuitive way,” Novak joked. “Because in addition to being a brilliant and wildly successful showrunner, an incredible mother-of-three, a deep and caring daughter and friend and mentor to so many, Mindy is also, in her spare time, I assure you, very superficial.”
