Idris Elba has been named People’s sexiest man alive 2018, and many of us are wondering what took so long!
According to People the British eye-candy has become “one of Hollywood’s biggest – and sexiest – stars,” and I don’t see anyone disagreeing. The 46-year-old actor, who has just been recently engaged, has starred in a number of projects from HBO’s hit show The Wire to Marvel’s Thor.
When the magazine asked the star what he thought about his new accolade, he stated “I was like, ‘Come on, no way. Really?” The accomplished actor admitted that he “Looked in the mirror, I checked myself out. I was like, ‘Yeah, you are kind of sexy today.’ But to be honest, it was just a nice feeling. It was a nice surprise — an ego boost for sure.”
Though it is very hard to believe, the actor does insist that he too went through an awkward stage during his time as a number one athlete at his all boys school in London. “I was very tall and skinny.”
Elba has been added to a long list of Peoples sexiest men alive. The list includes Mel Gibson and Blake Shelton.

The penultimate episode of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” has Kathy Bates going full “Terminator,” the return of the Coconut Head wigs and Sarah Paulson bundled up in a blanket on a porch, monologuing about her mother.
“Fire and Reign” begins with quite possibly my least favorite characters in all of “AHS” Jeff (Evan Peters) and Mutt (Billy Eichner) the robot engineers, who within the first minute want to make their heterosexuality very clear by saying “Bro” over and over again. Venable (Sarah Paulson) interrupts them to find out more about The Cooperative, but she’s shooed away. Thank God for Sarah Paulson, because without her, this whole sequence would’ve been totally unpalatable.

We’re back at Miss Robichaux’s Academy as Mallory (Billie Lourd) unsuccessfully tries to revive a dead dove. Cordelia (Sarah Paulson’s Supreme Witch) and Myrtle (Frances Conroy) try to relax her by assuring her they put a protection spell on the house.
Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) and Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) lead the other witches in defense spells while the new Voodoo Queen Dinah (Adina Porter) performs a spell at the front door, causing it to open as Michael Langdon (Cody Fern) and robotic Miss Mead (Kathy Bates) enter the New Orleans school.
The witches try to kill Langdon with shards of glass and nails they were enchanting, but he “X-Men” reverses it, causing the witches to get fatally stabbed. Queenie and Zoe manage to dodge them, but Mead rips off her arm to reveal a machine gun and shoots them both. Queenie’s voodoo doll power couldn’t even save her. Mallory wants to go and help her sisters, but Cordelia and Myrtle convince her to escape with them.
While we knew Jeff and Mutt created Mead, I didn’t realize how much direct control they have over her. It turns out they’re the ones “masterminding” the end of the world, since they’re having Mead suggest it to Langdon. I also think it’s really great that Langdon watched “The Omen” movie series for inspiration.
It turns out The Cooperative is just the Illuminati after some rebranding, which I think is pretty dumb. Langdon has Mead schedule a meeting with them about nuclear war, primarily to kill the remaining witches.

Since Misty (Lily Rabe) is “off gallivanting with Stevie [Nicks]” the remaining witches (Cordelia, Mallory, Myrtle, Coco and Madison) hide at her swamp shack. Cordelia’s freaking out because she couldn’t feel the dead witches’ spirits. Madison (Emma Robert) tells them about Langdon’s ability to burn people’s souls that she learned about on her trip to Murder House.
Myrtle spells out what I’ve been saying for weeks. Their plan is for Mallory to go back in time to save the world. Cordelia and Myrtle decide to put Mallory on a dry-run and enchant her bathtub, sending her back in time.
It turns into International Horror Story when we flashback to 1918 Siberia with Anastasia actually being a witch. I haven’t seen “Anastasia,” and don’t really know much about it, but I’m fairly certain the animated movie didn’t have this much bloodshed.
After having a heart to heart with Myrtle at the swamp, Cordelia decides to go to Not-Hogwarts (Hawthorne School for Warlocks), only to find everyone, including Behold (Billy Porter) dead, their bodies chopped up and In easily the most twisted moment of the night, Langdon had chopped up their bodies and arranged into a big pentagram. It was easily the most twisted moment of the episode, but how much cooler would it have been to see Langdon actually doing the carnage instead of just the aftermath? This is “AHS” I want some sick, twisted horror, not just the aftermath!
Venable tries to quit Mutt and Jeff’s cocaine-fueled company but decides to stay when they offer her free reign on the Outpost facilities they’re building.

Langdon meets with the masked Cooperative/Illuminati which apparently includes Bill Clinton, Putin George W. Bush, and North Korea’s General Kim. Langdon gives them the quick version of his plan for the end of the world. They’re going to charge $100 million for a spot at the Outposts and
Just as Langdon starts telling them how to build their shelters, the episode ends, which caused me to ask my TV if it was joking. We’ve got only one episode left and we’re still stuck in a pre-apocalyptic flashback. With this episode, it’s basically been confirmed that Mallory is going to time travel to stop Langdon from ending the world, but I have a bad feeling it’s going to be rushed and anticlimactic. It’s super unlikely, but they could pull the ultimate twist and make this a two-part season.
Also, why would they go through all the trouble of bringing Misty (Lily Rabe) back from Hell if they’re not even going to use her? If she doesn’t play a big role in the finale and her return was nothing but cheap fan service, I won’t be happy.
In spite of that, the preview for next week’s finale of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” looks pretty great, even though all of it seems to take place before the end of the world. Most importantly, Jessica Lange is coming back!
Make sure you pray for a two-hour season finale and check in next week for the final recap of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse!”
Tristan Thompson’s actions are sinking in after watching the Nov. 4 episode of KUWTK’S.
It’s all fun and games until your cheating tape is viewed by your girlfriend’s whole family and the entire world.
It’s been almost seven months since the footage leaked of Tristan Thompson, 27, messing around with two women, but the consequences of his actions has the Cleveland Cavaliers player feeling guilty.
After the latest Keeping Up with the Kardashians episode aired on Nov. 4, Tristan finally witnessed the actual drama that followed within the Kardashian family when his infidelity went public.
“Tristan is full of regret after seeing how much he hurt not only Khloe Kardashian but the whole Kardashian family by his actions,” a source close to the Cavs player shares with HollywoodLife.
The episode was one of the most emotionally tense in KUWTK history, as even Khloe revealed on Instagram that Sunday’s episode is “incredibly difficult emotionally.
The source also added…” He feels bad that he betrayed Khloe’s love and trust, especially during a critical time in their relationship, just as she was about to give birth to his baby.”
Smh, now he’s feeling regretful. When will some men learn that they have a good women!

“She might move on to Rappers and ballplayers but we all know I hit it first” You all may have recalled that video…..
“I Hit It First” ft. Bobby Brackins, a video Ray put out back in 2013, which many speculated he was referring to the TV reality star Kim Kardashian. Kim K is calling him bluffafter he continues to make claims about their sex details….
The reality star may have some history with the singer, but according to her, he doesn’t have his story straight about their past relationship. The digital chatter began after The Sun published a report claiming the singer reveals their former sex life to partygoers in London on Thursday night. Among his alleged claims were that she had a Louis Vuitton trunk of sex toys, would stop during sex to do her makeup, spent $100,000 on thongs and “her mom would call and she would nearly always take it.” E! News has reached out to Ray J’s camp for comment on the report.
This interview that was put out back in 2013 shows Ray J discussing his sex life with the reality star….
The report caused a stir among fans online and it wasn’t long before Kardashian weighed in on it herself.
“Ray J constantly revealing all these intimate details about Kim K shows that he is suffering from low self esteem! Hoping that Kanye ignores his ass,” twitter user @OKardashWest tweeted.
“Or shows he’s a pathological liar,” Kardashian clapped back. “You actually believe this story? It’s too funny to me!”
Or shows he’s a pathological liar 😂😂😂 you actually believe this story? It’s too funny to me!
When Russell Crowe said he was “Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife and I will have my vengeance, in this life of the next,” did anyone think he meant in a sequel to Ridley Scott’s swords and sandals epic “Gladiator?”
According to Deadline, a sequel to the 2000 Best Picture winner is officially moving forward with Scott posed to direct and “The Town” screenwriter Peter Craig, who also penned the upcoming “Top Gun” sequel, is set to helm the script.

If you’ve seen “Gladiator” you might be wondering how there could be a sequel since Crowe’s character, Maximus, doesn’t make it to the credits (and if you haven’t seen “Gladiator” you can’t be mad at me for spoiling an 18-year-old classic!). Deadline says that the sequel will follow Connie Nielsen’s character’s son and Joaquin Phoenix’s character’s nephew.
The real question is when will this movie be shot? Scott’s IMDb page says he has three other projects in the work — a sequel to “Alien: Covenant,” a movie about a special ops agent on the run after an assassination attempt goes wrong and a film about the WWII Battle of Britain. Of course, he could easily free his schedule up, and likely will, but it’s nonetheless fascinating to see the 80-year-old Scott, who’s been working consistently since the 60’s, showing no signs of slowing down.
Are you at all hyped up for “Gladiator 2” or do you think they shouldn’t risk messing with the legacy of the original? Let me know in the comments below!
With the Oscars moving up a month and taking place at the beginning of February, studios are releasing their big awards contenders earlier. Throughout November, more and more movies are coming out, at least in limited release, that hope for a spot at Oscar gold.
“WIDOWS”
After a five year hiatus after directing “12 Years a Slave,” Steve McQueen is back with “Widows” starring Viola Davis, Colin Farrell, Liam Neeson and Michelle Rodriguez. Once their husbands die trying to pull off a heist, Davis and Rodriguez form an all-female team to pull off one last heist.
“Ocean’s 8” was this summer’s big female heist movie, but “Widows” doesn’t seem to be trying to replicate it. Rather, this seems like a dark and gritty look into Chicago’s criminal underground. It also looks like McQueen’s most accessible movie to date, after “Hunger” “Shame” and “12 Years a Slave.” I’m not sure if “Widows” will be able to walk the fine line between gritty action hit and awards contender, but we’ll see once it’s released on November 16.
“AT ETERNITY’S GATE”
Willem Dafoe is playing Vincent Van Gogh in the new biopic “At Eternity’s Gate.” The 63-year-old actor is playing the painter, who died at 37, which might not be the best option, but Dafoe’s star is on the rise after his great and grounded performance in “The Florida Project.” This movie may come and go without any buzz or awards consideration, but it also may pop up as a contender for the Best Actor race.
“At Eternity’s Gate” will come out in limited release starting on November 16.
“THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB”
Just like everything else these days, Lisbeth Salander’s story is getting a reboot. The original Swedish novels “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” were a sensation. You couldn’t go on a bus or subway without seeing a copy being read. The books were turned into a Swedish language trilogy starring Noomi Rapace and then David Fincher decided to make an English remake with Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig. Mara got an Oscar nomination for playing the tattooed hacker, but after its less than stellar box office performance, Sony Pictures decided not to continue with the remaining two installments.
After completing the original trilogy, author Steig Larson was mysteriously murdered. A fourth book, “The Girl in the Spider’s Web” was written by David Lagercantz, and is now being turned into a rebooted movie, starring “The Crown” and “Unfriended’s” Claire Foy. Honestly, the trailer doesn’t look great and I don’t really see it doing amazingly. It probably won’t be nominated for any awards, as it kind of looks like a mess and I can’t imagine it being a big smash at the box office.
This new iteration of Lisbeth’s Salander’s story will be released on November 9.
“GREEN BOOK”
This one is a weird outlier. Directed by one of the Farrelly brothers (known mostly for their broad comedies like “There’s Something About Mary” and “Dumb and Dumber”) this feel-good comedic drama stars “Moonlight” star Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen. Mortensen will be playing a bouncer who becomes the personal driver for classical pianist Ali in the 1960s.
It seems like the kind of movie that would be made 20 years ago and really doesn’t look all that fresh or exciting, but it’s received a fair amount of positive buzz, so it may end up being a surprise hit. However, I’m looking for something more challenging in my movies that a traditional “small town racism is bad,” but it could end up being really good. We’ll have to wait and see when it’s released on November 21.
“THE FAVOURITE”
Yorgos Lanthimos is one of my favorite working directors. I genuinely think his movie “The Lobster” is one of, if not the, best movie of the 2010s. Its realistic yet stilted look at relationships works as a perfect metaphor for trying to find a relationship within the modern world of dating apps. His newest film “The Favourite” is a period piece following Queen Anne (Elizabeth Coleman) and the two woman fighting to be her right hand (Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone).
It looks weird, just as all of his movies are, but since this is his first directorial effort that Lanthimos isn’t also directing, “The Favourite” may have more mainstream appeal than his usual works. Plus, with Emma Stone hot off her Oscar win and Coleman’s star quickly rising, this could end up being a real hit. I know it’s my most anticipated film of the month and I can’t wait for its November 23 release.
“IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK”
Finally, we have Barry Jenkin’s follow up to “Moonlight.” Based on the James Baldwin novel of the same name, “If Beale Street Could Talk” follows a pregnant woman as she tries to prove her fiance’s innocence while he’s stuck in jail. As if Jenkin’s filmography wasn’t enough to inspire confidence, the Baldwin source material promises that this will be a poignant look into race relations. It will be coming to theaters in limited release on November 30.
