Ram Is Booted on ‘The Masked Singer’
Ram hit the wall on Wednesday night’s edition of The Masked Singer, as the horned beast became the season’s second contestant to be sent packing. Ram got episode 2 away with a cover of John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” facing off against Firefly, who impressed with a rendition of Ariana Grande’s “God Is a Woman.” In the end, Ram got the flick. Behind the mask was Joe Buck, the Emmy winning sportscaster who, to make matters even more interesting, has just announced his departure from Fox Sports to ESPN. The easter egg, for those hunting, was the Los Angeles Rams, winners of the 2022 Super Bowl. If there’s a silver lining for Buck, he now has more time to prepare for that new gig.

OlliOlli World Is Far From An Average Skateboarding Game
When people talk about skateboarding video games, there’s generally one name that they mention — and that name isn’t OlliOlli World. But truthfully, OlliOlli World puts a wildly different spin roughly based on the genre that Tony Hawk popularized. Part skateboarding romp and part action-platformer, the latest from British developer Roll7 takes players through a whole new adventure through the OlliOlli universe that began with 2014’s game of the same name. Compared to the previous two titles, OlliOlli World ditches the quaint pixel art for a massively expanded world, character creation, top-notch electronic soundtrack and adorable new art style that shows off the colorful setting of Radlandia the team has built. But while it may look family friendly, the 100ish levels of skateboard platform...
Selena Gomez Developing New Series Based on ‘Sixteen Candles’
Make a wish, because Selena Gomez is putting a Latinx spin on the John Hughes classic Sixteen Candles. Together with collaborators Tanya Saracho and Gabriela Revilla Lugo, the pop star is developing a new half-hour sitcom titled 15 Candles, which will take a page from the 1984 coming-of-age movie starring Molly Ringwald. According to Variety, the comedy series “will follow four young Latinas in high school, navigating feelings of invisibility while exploring what it means to leave childhood behind as quinceañera season approaches.” Gomez will serve as executive producer on the project, which is headed to NBC streamer Peacock, while Saracho and Lugo are both expected to write and executive produce.

‘Phoenix Rising’ Doc Offers Harrowing Look at Evan Rachel Wood Abuse Allegations Against Marilyn Manson
[Trigger warning: this article contains descriptions of domestic violence, as well as sexual and physical abuse.] Sometimes the film you set out to make is not the one you end up with. That’s the case with director Amy Berg’s intense two-part HBO documentary Phoenix Rising. The veteran filmmaker originally set out to document actress Evan Rachel Wood’s successful drive to lengthen the statute of limitations for domestic violence felonies in California from three to five years. As Wood was fighting for the Phoenix Act — which was signed into law in 2019 — Berg realized that any potential film would have to delve into Wood’s allegations against her former fiancé/boyfriend, shock rocker Marilyn Manson (born Brian Warner). That story makes up much of the first part (“Don’t Fall”) of the nearly...
Evan Rachel Wood Talks ‘Phoenix Rising,’ Alleged Abuser Marilyn Manson: ‘I Don’t Believe That He Will Stop Until He Is Stopped’
Evan Rachel Wood appeared on The Daily Show on Monday night (March 14) to talk about the 16-year journey she took to confronting her alleged abuser and the reason she hopes her new two-part documentary, Phoenix Rising, could help other people who feel trapped in a cycle of abuse come forward and speak their truth. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “I don’t believe that he will stop until he is stopped,” she said of Marilyn Manson, her former fiancé, who she claims in the film methodically groomed her when she 18 and isolated her before allegedly subjecting the Westworld star to ritualistic abuse. “And sometimes the greatest act of love is stopping that person from hurting themselves or hurting anybody else.” The nearly three-hour mini-series, dir...
SXSW: Anne Hathaway and Jared Leto Hit the Red Carpet for ‘WeCrashed’ Premiere
