The Golden Globes Menu: Eat Like a Star

The award season is officially kicking off this Sunday, January 10th, with the 73rd Annual Golden Globe Awards. The question is not only who will win, but what to serve? As we are all still recovering from New Year’s (and our short-lived health resolutions), it is tough to come up with just the right offering for our very sated guests.

The chefs at the Beverly Hilton Hotel share your dilemma. They have announced the menu that will be placed in front of Hollywood’s elite.

John Boyega & Brie Larson get BAFTA Noms, Ricky Gervais on Hosting the Globes & More

Your 2016 Golden Globes host, Ricky Gervais, has notoriously used his previous Globes gigs to lampoon (or eviscerate, depending upon your perspective) everyone from Hollywood royalty to the universally loved Steve Carrell (this bit was hilarious—he roasted Carrell for being so "amazing" on The Office, a show he created). Gervais has routinely blasted the Globes itself, like in this quip; "For any of you who don't know, the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars,

The Walking Dead Drops Midseason Premiere Trailer

For us The Walking Dead fans, we've still got a bit of a slog until we get to the midseason premiere, which airs on Feburary 14. Until then, you can satiate your appetite for brains and blood and Rick Grimes' (Andrew Lincoln) Mad Hatter-like leadership over the citizens of Alexandria. If the midseason trailer is any indication, things are about to get even bleaker for the little burb in the midst of a zombie hellscape.

F.U. in 2016: The Eerily Realistic House of Cards Season 4 Promo

Did you watch last night's Republican presidential debate? Do you ever find yourself remarking how similar politics are to high school? Do you find political ads cheesy, manipulative, and depressing? Then you're going to love House of Cards promo for season 4, which nails all of these things in one 30 second spot. It's pretty perfect that this Netflix juggernaut's fourth season comes right in the midst of a presidential election, and it's not for nothing that Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey)'s campaign slogan is "F.U.

Does the new Game of Thrones Teaser Hint at Jon Snow’s Return?

(If you're not caught up on GOT's season five, spoiler alert). Few television shows in history have maybe killed off a main character and received this much scrutiny, doubt, rumor mongering and obsession. We're talking about Game of Thrones' Jon Snow (Kit Harington) of course, who was stabbed (repeatedly) by his fellow Night's Watchmen at the end of last season and whose potential death exploded the internet.

The game "Candy Crush" has been in the news quite a bit lately. The company that makes it, King, was recently sold for $5.9 billion to Activision Blizzard. During last night's Republican Presidential debate, Florida senator Marco Rubio used the game to explain how much faster technology is adapted into our society now: "It took the telephone 75 years to reach 100 million users.

Girls returns for season five on February 21, and Dunham has said that the series will likely end after the sixth season.
