Whoopi Goldberg got candid about her mother’s experience in a mental hospital following a mental breakdown when The View co-host was in elementary school.
In an interview with People ahead of the release of her upcoming memoir, Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me, Goldberg revealed her mother forgot who she was after undergoing electroshock therapy during her two-year hospitalization. The severe treatment wiped her memory and resulted in her not remembering the Ghost star or her late brother, Clyde.
“My mother at one point when I got older … said, ‘Can I tell you a secret?’ I was like, ‘Sure,'” the actress and comedian told the publication. “She said, ‘I didn’t know who you were when I got out of the hospital.’ It’s like, ‘I’m sorry, what?

Ghost have announced a feature film titled Rite Here Rite Now, which is set for a worldwide theatrical release on June 20th and 22nd.
The Swedish band teased the film earlier this month, but with no details at the time. A new press release describes the movie as a pseudo narrative-concert film that “fully immerses viewers in the technicolor melodrama of the vaunted live ritual” that is Ghost. Directed by Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) and Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge, it culls footage from the band’s two sold-out shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in 2023 and follows plot threads from Ghost’s long-running Chapters series.
“Over a decade ago when Ghost got signed to Loma Vista, Tom Whalley [owner and CEO] asked what the story of the band was,” revealed Forge in a press release. “He felt telling a story was vital in order to get new fans engaged. I...

Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto, One Piece by Eiichiro Oda, and Bleach by Tite Kubo are the well-deserving Big Three of the anime and manga world. These three series form the foundation of Weekly Shonen Jump, and they have proven their worth with a strong fan base that has followed them for years.
Naruto in Naruto Shippuden
Although all three of them have their own respective qualities that define them and their popularity, fans have always debated which anime or manga among the three is considered to be the best. They have compared storylines, characters, attacks, animations, sales, fanbase, and much more, but everyone has their own opinions.
However, there is one aspect where Kishimoto’s Naruto has been better than One Piece and Bleach. The trait is overly sexualizing female characters. A post on X(Formerly Twitter) pointed out that both Oda and Kubo have been accused of being sexist...

Shōgun season 1 is in the books, and the historical epic has garnered both critical and commercial success, with its premiere pulling in 9 million views (the most ever for an FX series) and its ten-episode run earning nearly unanimous positive reviews (it’s currently sitting pretty at 99% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes). The problem is, if you’re one of the millions captivated by the sprawling mini-series, a second season is anything but confirmed. In fact, at this point, it’s unlikely to happen.
The good news: there are plenty of terrific pieces of Feudal Japanese fiction to explore, and one of the very best is the breathtaking Ghost of Tsushima. The PlayStation exclusive is just as grand in scale as Shōgun, and while it’s a different kind of samurai story entirely, it’s a perfect complement to the show in that it focuses on aspects of the setting that the show doesn’t.

One cannot underestimate the enormity of Jerry Zucker's "Ghost" when it was released in 1990. In the film, Molly (Demi Moore) and Sam (Patrick Swayze) are a well-to-do couple in New York who are very, very much in love. Despite their closeness, not to mention their sexual chemistry, Sam cannot entirely commit, replying only with "ditto" when Molly says "I love you." When Sam is murdered by muggers, he returns to Molly as a ghost, using a medium named Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg) to communicate. Can Sam figure out the rules of the afterlife in time to express his undying love for Molly?
"Ghost" was made for a modest $22 million, but made over half a billion dollars worldwide. It was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and won Oscars for Whoopi Goldberg and Bruce Joel Rubin, its screenwriter. "Ghost" was a juggernaut, and it's unusual that it...

On Wednesday’s episode of The View, the Different World cast reunited alongside the series’ producer and director, Debbie Allen. But while speaking about the show’s guest stars, the spotlight shifted to Whoopi Goldberg, who was moderating the conversation alongside her The View co-stars Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines.
When asked by Haines what she remembered about working alongside Goldberg, Allen shared that the Egot winner was the show’s “secret weapon” when it came to making its powerful season four episode about the AIDS epidemic, “If I Should Die Before I Wake.”
Goldberg, fresh off her Oscar-winning performance in Ghost, made a cameo as a professor who assigns the students to write their own eulogies. Fellow guest star Tisha Campbell appeared as student Josie, who reveals during the assignment that she has AIDS.

Tyler Henry is sweating.
We are seated in an airy and bright conference room inside The Hollywood Reporter’s offices at Penske Media Corporation headquarters overlooking the 405 freeway. The 28-year-old, best known as the breakout star of Hollywood Medium on E! followed by the more recent Life After Death on Netflix, offered a polite heads up that he might perspire while doing a personal reading, something that is part of his process as he attempts to connect with the other side. But before Henry did his thing, he defined what it is that he does.
“The technical definition is somebody who communicates with people who have passed,” says Henry, who was in the building to help promote his current live tour (with an upcoming stop in Los Angeles at the Peacock Theater on April 12). “I have come to view it as something a little bit more multifaceted. I view mediums almost as coincidence-makers.

Demi Moore, 61, Dares to Bare in Crystal Mesh Gown at Dal Cuore alle Mani Dolce & Gabbana Exhibition
I’ve always admired Demi Moore. Her incredible figure and daring yet classy red carpet style never disappoint. One of her most notable red-carpet moments to date came at the Dolce & Gabbana 40th anniversary gala, where she wore a glittering sheer gown from the Italian luxury fashion house, no less.
Demi Moore was among the celebrities invited to the inauguration of the Dal Cuore alle Mani (From the Heart to the Hands) exhibition at Palazzo Reale. In addition to honoring Dolce & Gabbana’s legacy, the exhibition celebrates Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana’s creative process, including the Italian artisans and cultural heritage that influenced their work.
Other guests include Lupita Nyong’o, Lily James, Naomi Campbell, Olivia Culpo, Helen Mirren, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Cher. All wore breathtaking outfits, but I think the evening’s most eye-catching dress belonged to Demi Moore.

As players await for any sign of confirmation or leaks on Ghost of Tsushima 2, players have some relief, albeit after having waited for eons, in the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima 1, arriving 16th May, 2024. Sucker Punch delivered a masterpiece of a game in 2020, one that players still revisit and discover new secrets or even master combat on.
Upon its arrival, the game had a shadow cast upon its back- “An Assassin’s Creed Japan game”. While it is flattering to a degree, Ghost of Tsushima set itself apart from the likes of Assassin’s Creed. Whether it was the clever use of Guiding Winds for traversal, the map not being unusually large and tedious to complete, or the combat having excellent variety.
Standoffs in Ghost of Tsushima were a fun element, and a great test of reflexes.

[This story contains spoilers for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.]
You’ve got questions and Emily Alyn Lind has answers.
In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, when Mckenna Grace’s Phoebe Spengler was sidelined by the Ghostbusters’ longtime bureaucratic nemesis, Walter Peck (William Atherton), the young Ghostbusting hero went on an unexpected journey that quickly introduced her to Lind’s surprise character, Melody.
Melody was nowhere to be found in the marketing for the film, but as soon as she’s introduced opposite Phoebe during a park-based chess match, it becomes clear why director Gil Kenan and Sony played their cards close to their vest. Melody is not only a ghost in the form of a 16-year-old girl, but she also interacts with Phoebe on a very human and relatable level. In other words, she’s a far cry from the typical apparitions that the franchise has offered up, and she further expands on how Ghost Egon was utilized in Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021).

Producers of the upcoming musical comedy Ghost Of John McCain have responded to angry comments made by the late senator’s daughter Meghan McCain, saying that they will again extend an invitation to Meghan and husband Ben Domenech to attend a reading of the musical before it opens Off Broadway this fall.
“We think they will love it, just as audiences have to date,” said producers Jason Rose and Max Fose in a statement responding to tweets made by Meghan McCain earlier this week in which she called the musical – which she apparently has not seen – “trash” and “a gross cash grab by mediocre desperate people.”
As Deadline reported Tuesday, Ghost of John McCain, a musical comedy set inside the brain of Donald Trump, will make its world premiere Off Broadway this fall. The musical, written by Scott Elmegreen and Drew Fornarola and produced by a team that includes political...

Ghost have released a teaser clip for an upcoming cinematic film.
The 30-second trailer was shared to Instagram and sees Papa Emeritus IV onstage, presumably twirling to bid farewell to an audience at the end of a performance. The clip is soundtracked by sweeping strings and has a startling one-frame jump cut to Sister Imperator before displaying the text: “Coming soon to cinemas worldwide.”
Little else has been revealed about the movie, though Ghost mastermind Tobias Forge did tell Metal Hammer that live footage shot during the band’s two September 2023 shows at The Forum in Inglewood, California, would be used in the upcoming film.
These shows were special in that audience members were not allowed to use phones or devices during the concert. Upon entering the venue, phones were stowed and then later returned to concertgoers upon the conclusion of the set.

Kate Middleton has been a hot topic of discussion ever since she went into abdominal surgery in January 2024. Following her long absence from the public eye, the Princess of Wales became a subject of wild speculations regarding her health and whereabouts.

This year’s races for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress were over before they started. Robert Downey Jr. in “Oppenheimer” and Da’Vine Joy Randolph in “The Holdovers” took leads in the Gold Derby odds in their respective categories early in the season. They both went on to pick up Golden Globe, Critics Choice, BAFTA and SAG Awards. By the time the Oscars rolled around, there was a “near zero” chance of either of them losing.
In contrast, the lead acting contests provided considerably more suspense. Bradley Cooper in “Maestro,” Paul Giamatti in “The Holdovers” and Cillian Murphy in “Oppenheimer” were all looking strong at different point in the derby, before Murphy really exploded and ultimately won the Best Actor Oscar. And Lily Gladstone in “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Emma Stone in “Poor Things” kept trading the top spot in the Best Actress odds. Gladstone finally reclaimed...

The third Power spinoff will outlive the second.
Starz has renewed Power Book III: Raising Kanan for a fifth season, with the pickup for the spinoff starring Mekai Curtis coming as the fourth cycle of the show is in production in New York. Creator Sascha Penn will return as showrunner and exec producer.
The renewal means Raising Kanan will officially outlive Power Book II: Ghost, as the latter series will conclude with its upcoming fourth season. Starz, meanwhile, is developing a Power prequel series, Origins, which would follow Ghost and Tommy. Power Book IV: Force is currently filming its third season in Chicago.
“We know that our fans can’t get enough of Raising Kanan. As the inevitable evolution of this young man into a killer plays out, we knew we had much more backstory to share in this ever-escalating family saga,” said Kathryn Busby, president of originals at Starz.

In the comics, Batman has no shortage of sidekicks, who have each gone on to become important players in the DC landscape. While most Batman sidekicks serve as a lighter and more optimistic take on the Dark Knight’s ideology, one lesser-known sidekick is a dark and a radical mirror of the masked vigilante.
Ghost-Maker as depicted in DC Comics
In the comics, Ghost-Maker and Batman share a deep history and are often at odds with each other because of the former’s drastic approach to crime-fighting. As a result, Ghost-Maker might have served as a better blueprint for Zack Snyder’s take on the Dark Knight in the doomed Dceu. Here is everything you need to know about Ghost-Maker and why he fits Snyder’s vision.

Netflix's Griselda is one of the best hits of 2024 so far, and there's a good reason that the show is breaking ground. Fans and critics alike have sung praises for the six-episode limited series.
The biographical crime drama tells the story of The Cocaine Godmother Griselda Blanco, who ruled the Miami underworld in the '70s and '80s and helped establish cocaine trade links between Colombia and the United States.
Sofia Vergara's role as the titular character is highly praised, and many want more to do with this crime drama. While we may not get more Griselda, there are several shows to watch that are similar to the series.

Weeds is a funnier, lower-stakes version of Griselda, in a way. Hard times drive Nancy Botwin (Mary-Lousie Parker) into the marijuana trade. A widowed mother of two boys, this mom is willing to do anything for her family.

Our newest Best Supporting Actress Oscar-winner, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, looks to have her next project in view. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the star of “The Holdovers” will join a new musical from director Michel Gondry and producer Pharrell Williams. The project is said to be based on Williams’s youth in Virginia Beach in the 1970s. (I hope we get to watch his very tall hat grow.) IMDb has the title of the film listed as “Atlantis,” but this is unconfirmed by THR.
The screenplay is written by Martin Hynes, whose previous writing credits include “Toy Story 4” and “Stealing Harvard” (and also playing George Lucas in the legendary short “George Lucas in Love”), and Steven Levenson, whose musical credits include “Dear Evan Hanson” and “tick, tick…Boom.” Kelvin Harrison Jr., recently seen in “Chevalier” and “Elvis” is believed to be starring, and IMDb lists Andre 3000, Mary J.
