Madonna has been present at the MTV Video Music Awards in some form or fashion since she performed “Like a Virgin” at the very first show in 1984. Generations of new pop starlets have referenced her most iconic looks on the red carpet, or paid homage to her infamous Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera kisses on stage. When the VMAs return on Sunday, Sept. 27, Madonna will take centerstage for her first performance at the show in 23 years. The Queen of Pop will open the night, just as she did at the 2003 VMAs. Her latest record, Confessions II,…
From the central balcony of the National Palace and in front of a huge crowd of celebrants gathered in Mexico City’s central square, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered the national Cry of Independence (Grito de Independencia) on Tuesday night, the eve of Mexico’s Independence Day. “Mexicanas, Mexicanos, long live independence!” Sheinbaum declared 216 years after priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla issued the Cry of Dolores (Grito de Dolores) — a call for revolt against Spanish rule. En el 216 Aniversario del Grito de Independencia, exaltamos a los héroes y heroínas que nos dieron patria, como Antonia Nava. También destacamos a los…
One of the many splendid things about Zach Cregger’s “Weapons” is that it was a horror film made with humanity. It overflowed with majestic creepiness, but all the witchy stolen-child stuff was folded into emotionally suspenseful situations that Cregger interwove like a junior “Pulp Fiction.” (That’s part of why Amy Madigan’s evil crone had such nightmare resonance.) When a movie becomes as big a sleeper sensation as “Weapons” did, the director who made it can write his own ticket. So when Cregger announced that his next movie would be a reboot of “Resident Evil,” I thought, “Really?” My reaction was:…

British pop star Ed Sheeran has lost all of the musicians booked to open his upcoming concerts after rapper Macklemore was dropped from the lineup over pro-Palestine remarks, according to NBC News. Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Beoga and Lukas Graham have all pulled out in protest.The dispute erupted after Macklemore, whose real name is Ben Haggerty, joined Sheeran’s Loop tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey earlier this month. He told the crowd “Free Palestine” before performing Hind’s Hall, his protest song about the Gaza war, and later said he had been removed from the remaining dates after several venues objected…
The scene outside the federal courthouse in Los Angeles looked like a Super Bowl victory. Following Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire acquittal, fans and streamers rejoiced alongside the rapper’s family. Drew Findling, one of Durk’s attorneys, gave a fiery speech recalling his Trumpian pretrial prediction that they would “make history with the greatest verdict,” while another, Brian Steel, left the building to chants of “MVP.”This kind of spectacle had been taking place since the start of the trial. For three weeks, dozens of protestors, streamers, and fans congregated outside like they were at a concert or Streamer University audition instead of a…
It’s always a risk starting a rookie cornerback out of the gate in Week 1, something the Chicago Bears have plenty of experience with over the last few years. And we’ve seen those players get baptized by fire, losing their matchup consistently and getting burned to start their careers. Malik Muhammad is the latest rookie to get his number called as the starting nickel cornerback, but where others faltered, he succeeded in his debut.The Bears pounced on the Carolina Panthers to open up their 2026 season, winning 59-37 in a barnburner of a game in Charlotte. Offense was the big…
A long-running dispute between Mexico and the United States over Colorado River water-sharing has been resolved — at least for the next two years — with Mexico getting significantly less water as a result. The U.S. is also receiving less water as part of a joint effort to mitigate ongoing drought conditions and low reservoir levels in the Colorado River basin. The leadership of the U.S. and Mexican Sections of the IBWC pose after signing Minute 334 in El Paso, Texas, on Sept. 2, 2026. (Left to right) U.S. IBWC Secretary Sally Spener, U.S. IBWC Commissioner Chad McIntosh, Mexican IBWC…

The problem was never oversight. It’s oversight that only ever points in one partisan direction.
