Last night, Adele’s first live concert in four years aired on CBS, and it was a night to remember for more reasons than that.
Held at the beautiful Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, the concert was a star-studded event with gorgeous views of the city. Hearing and seeing Adele sing in a stunning black evening gown while the sun set behind her felt almost indulgent in its perfection, but the night was made even more special with a surprise proposal Adele helped orchestrate.
After Adele told the audience to be “really bloody quiet” and had the lights turned down, Quentin Brunson led his girlfriend, Ashleigh Mann, to the front of the stage. She was wearing noise-canceling headphones and a blindfold and had no idea where she was. When she took them off, she found Quentin down on one knee. She could see and hear the crowd, but it wasn’t until after Quentin went through his tearful proposal that Ashleigh found out where she was and who she was with.
Watch:
New life goal: Get engaged in front of @adele. pic.twitter.com/ybfa922aHg
Can you even imagine? “What is happening? Where am I? OMG, I’m getting engaged! Oh, Adele—HELLO! What? I’m on you’re ‘One Night Only’ special that millions of people around the world are going to be watching on television? Take a seat in the front row, you say? Right here between Lizzo and Melissa McCarthy? UM, OKAY. Oh, you’re singing to me now. Am I dreaming?”
How does one even take in such an experience? It was all so beautiful and clever and surprisingly real. Ashleigh’s “Oh my god, I’ve been your girlfriend for so long” and her “In real life?” during the proposal and her simple, “Yeah” that sealed the deal were so dang cute. But her face when she saw Adele was absolutely priceless. And then Adele’s cackle—AH HA!
The performance of “To Make You Feel My Love,” just iced the cake. So, so sweet. We’re all wiping our eyes with you, Melissa McCarthy.
Quentin and Ashleigh were interviewed by Gayle King on CBS This Morning and shared how the proposal came to be:
Ashleigh said she thought they were going to go on a hayride because they had been talking about going to a pumpkin patch. Ha.
Quentin himself didn’t even know the surprise proposal opportunity was going to involve Adele herself until a couple of days before it happened. And the couple has had to keep the whole thing a secret since the filming—even from their friends and family—which had to have been torture.
What a fun and memorable night. Even people who aren’t fans of public proposals gave props to the surprise. Any proposal that involves Adele singing directly to you in person is pretty much impossible to criticize and impossible to top.
When lifting weights at the gym, the discomfort you feel should be coming from the workout. Not from other people with no concept of boundaries. However, this is an all-too-common occurrence for women.
Personal trainer Heidi Aragon (@fit_with_heidi) is used to sharing her fitness journey on social media. Her video, which has now garnered more than 8 million views on TikTok, didn’t go viral because of the workout. Instead, people are responding to how she confronted a man who not only wouldn’t stop staring at her, but denied the fact that he was. Until Heidi beat him at his own game.
Heidi explains in the text video “This creepy old guy at the gym kept coming over and staring at me.” Sure enough, the video shows a man in a green shirt, eyes undeniably fixated on Heidi. Uncomfortable, Heidi tries to get her husband to stand between her and the man, hopefully laying down a not-so-subtle cue to back off. But subtlety is clearly not this guy’s language.
So what does Heidi do? She stares back. The strategy seemed to work, at least for a while, but eventually Heidi had to go over and confront the guy directly.
Her video text read: “I told him if he’s going to work out in this corner he needed to stop staring and making me uncomfortable. His response was, ‘I’m just looking around.’ I then told him I record my workouts and I have him on film. He shut up real quick.”
I know what you’re thinking: “Wait, didn’t we just hear a story about this?” Why yes, you’re right. Our very own Tod Perry covered another woman who had to deal with a guy at the gym who couldn’t take a hint.
Yes, almost back-to-back stories of women who have had enough from fellow male gym-goers. And still, there is victim blaming. In the video’s comment section, one user wrote, “Wear pants like that and expected something different??” How many videos have to go viral before we stop blaming a woman’s choice of clothing (which were really quite normal gym attire, by the way) for a man’s obviously intrusive behavior?
Others also seemed to assess that because Heidi was a fitness influencer, she more or less signed up for this kind of attention, invited or not. Which completely negates this woman having any choice in the matter. However, Heidi did post a tongue-in-cheek follow-up video thanking those who posted negative comments, as it gave her more followers and likes. So I guess there’s some small victory.
Though we may never have a consensus on proper gym etiquette, a good rule of thumb is keep to yourself. Getting the gumption to go workout is hard enough; don’t make staying there a hardship as well.
Taylor Swift gave a tour de force performance on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend of a 10-minute version of “All Too Well,” which is believed to be about Jake Gyllenhaal.
The performance was to promote her new album “Red (Taylor’s Version)” which is a re-recording of her classic 2012 CD. Swift is in the process of re-recording every album she made before 2019 to reclaim the rights to her music. Her older recordings are owned by Shamrock Holdings, which gets paid whenever someone streams or buys the songs.
Swift hopes that fans will opt to listen to the new versions that she owns over the older ones.
For Swift’s loyal fans, known as Swifties, the “SNL” performance brought the Gyllenhaal break-up back to the forefront and some, sensing a trend, took the opportunity to address another ex, musician John Mayer.
Swift eviscerated Mayer on the song “Dear John” which appeared on her 2010 album “Red.” Here’s an excerpt of the lyrics:
My mother accused me of losing my mind,
But I swore I was fine, you paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game,
But you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
Tonight, well I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why
Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone
Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress, cried the whole way home, I should’ve known
One Swiftie, who goes by the name @hoeforlouaylor on TikTok, wrote an extremely mean message to Mayer on Instagram.
“Fuck yourself you ugly bitch I hope you choke on something,” @hoeforlouaylor wrote. She then demanded a response adding, “answer me you bitch.” To her surprise, the “Your Body Is a Wonderland” singer gave a very polite response.
Hi Alondrea, It’s John. I’ve been getting so many messages like this the past couple of days, I decided to choose your message at random to reply to. You can feel free to screen shot, share in any way you like if you want. I’m not upset, I just tend to have a curious mind and feel compelled to ask. Do you really hope that I die?
After Mayer responded, she posted an image of the conversation on TikTok.
The TikTok user sent a follow-up video where she said she apologized to Mayer. The video has since been set to private.
“My friend literally dared me to do that,” she said in the recording, according to The Daily Dot. “She’s a Taylor fan and like so am I. It was a dare. I’m sorry. I did not expect you to see.”
Mayer responded by showing that he’s a human being with feelings, too. “So it’s a fun thing people are doing without taking into account that I might see it and be affected by it?” he asked.
The TikTok user reiterated that she didn’t think he’d read the message. Then, in a wonderful display of grace, Mayer told the woman who wished him dead that it was fine by him.
“It’s 100 percent okay,” Mayer told her. “Go forth and live happy and healthy!”
Mayer did a great job in taking the high road with the Swiftie by explaining that even though he’s a famous musician, he’s just like everyone else. One of the worst things about internet culture is the idea that there aren’t any real people behind the profiles on social media.
If more people saw the humanity in those they are speaking with online it would go a long way toward softening our national discourse. Mayer did a nice job by pointing that out.
For its first week, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was unusually quiet. That in itself was odd, considering the Illinois teen is there because he shot three people, killing two, during a protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. But in its second week things, uh, picked up. Rittenhouse himself took the stand and launched into what many found an unconvincing crying jag. The judge proved unhinged and even had a curious ringtone. A Fox News host, who runs their “comedy” show, said he “did the right thing.”
And now this: As per The Wrap, the prosecutors, during their closing statements, busted out a still from the movie Road House. You know: The about-to-be-remade 1989 action movie that’s also a semi-camp classic, in which Patrick Swayze plays an NYU philosophy grad student-turned-Deep South bar bouncer, who does roundhouse kicks and rips out people’s throats like it was nothin’. The image shows Swayze’s character is about to duke it out with one of the baddies in the midst of a large-scale bar fight at the Double Deuce.
Can my American friends explain why in the double murder trial of Kyle Rittenhouse, the prosecutor is using screenshots from 1989 Patrick Swayze action movie ‘Road House’?
What point was Kenosha County Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binge trying to make here? The caption read “The Defendant brought a gun to a fistfight.” Binge called what Rittenhouse did “reckless conduct,” adding, “What the defendant wants you to believe is that because he’s the one who brought the gun, he gets to kill.”
It seems Binge meant to argue that Rittenhouse escalated the situation by running around with a semiautomatic rifle. Had it just been akin to a bar fight, waged between fists, perhaps no one would have been shot. “That’s why he’s got to come up with this cockamamie theory that Joseph Rosenbaum was not only going to take the gun, but take it and then turn it on the defendant,” Binge added.
There’s yet another juicy tell-all about the capper to Donald Trump’s one-term presidency, namely Jonathan Karl’s Betrayal, and surprise surprise, there’s even more out-there nonsense that hadn’t yet been made public. The same day we learned Fox News Maria Bartiromo might be crazier than already suspected, we also heard that two of the highers-up in the Trump cabinet reportedly discussed yanking their boss out of office the night of Jan. 6.
As per Rolling Stone, the siege on the Capitol building — and Trump’s indifference to it — rattled more than just longtime loyalists like Mitch McConnell (who delivered a slurry rebuke of the man to whom he’d soon return). It also got to then-Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. And that night, the two reportedly discussed using the 25th Amendment to remove the unhinged president from power posthaste.
That ideas was “quickly jettisoned,” partly due to the resignations the next day of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. They then realized it would be too tricky and time-consuming to formally chuck Trump.
“It would not be quick enough and it would be subject to legal challenges,” Karl said, explaining why the plan was abandoned. “But in the hours after the riot, there were high-level conversations about this.”
Pompeo later denied this happened, but Karl has stood by his reporting, which he called “rock solid.” But it’s clear, given the immediate reaction after the failed insurrection, that more than a few prominent Republicans were shaken by what happened — even if they eventually seemed to get over it.
Meanwhile, Karl has revealed, both in his book and during his press tour, some other genuinely shocking humdingers. How was it not better known that some “f*cking idiot” former body man was really running the show, that the rally that led to Herman Cain’s death was even more of a “s*itshow” than previously reported, or that Trump himself seemed to be cool with his supporters wanting to hang Mike Pence?
Over three seasons of Succession, J. Smith-Cameron’s Gerri has grown a lot. At first the quiet but highly competent special counsel of Waystar Royco, she’s now, in this season, the acting CEO of one of the world’s largest and hungriest corporations. (Though even she couldn’t save a truly chaotic shareholders meeting.) But one thing has stayed: She’s still in a weird semi-sexual relationship with Roman, the youngest male Roy scion, played by Kieran Culkin. It all started in Season 1, and according to a new New Yorker profile of Smith-Cameron, it kind of happened by accident.
The actress says she and Kieran were already friends by the time he made Succession. (They appear together, although not in the same scenes, in 2011’s Margaret, by her acclaimed playwright/filmmaker husband Ken Lonergan.) On set, during scenes together, they just “in a friendly way,” started “this sort of silly flirtation.” It began with them riffing with each other. Soon enough, they realized they had something.
“It was funny that Roman was flirting with Gerri, to us. Well, inappropriate and funny,” Smith-Cameron said. “So we just kept it up. At some point the writers became aware of it.”
The real genesis of it didn’t begin till Season 1, and it was all improv:
“Well, one day after we finished a scene they just kept the camera rolling, as they do, and we had to improv. I can’t remember what we said, but we had some kind of flirty repartee. And then apparently we both looked back over our shoulder at each other, without realizing. That was the end of Season 1. Then I guess in the writer’s room for Season 2 they wrote it into the story line.”
Then things escalated in Season 2:
We had to do that scene where I made Kieran go in the bathroom. You know the one. And I was really having trouble working it out, because it changes micro-beat by micro-beat. First, I’m just consoling him about Shiv, and then it shifts to being horrified about what he has in mind. And then I scold him, and then I see he’s turned on, and then I’m kind of being seductive, maybe. And then I’m, like, “Get in the bathroom!,” like a dominatrix, and then I’m laughing. It was like crossing an obstacle course.
I remember just sitting in my car, because it was street cleaning that day, and calling Michelle and saying, “I don’t know what Gerri thinks of this.” As much as I think Kieran is wildly attractive, I think Gerri would not give him the time of day. She’s so careful. And she’s known him as a little boy. I was very nonplussed about how to know what I felt, or what my character felt about this happening. And Michelle said, “Well, probably Gerri doesn’t know, either.” It was so obvious! Gerri is puzzled at first. And scandalized, intrigued, amused in turns. Tricky, but that is completely the truth of it. She was exactly right about that.
So there you have it. Gerri and Roman have a weird, still largely unconsummated relationship because two actors just sort of willed it into being, unsure where it was going, unsure if it even made sense. And it blossomed into one of the most distinctive parts of one of today’s most acclaimed shows. But Gerri would still mop the floor with Roman at basketball.
On November 15, 2001, the Xbox was released to the world. Microsoft’s entrance into the console market would turn out to be a great choice as they’re now right next to Sony and Nintendo as one of the exclusive major console developers. For 20 years they’ve been releasing games that many of us fell in love with. The only challenge these days is the accessibility when it comes to playing those games.
That accessibility became a little easier on Monday when Xbox announced, as a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the console’s release, 76 games would be coming to their backward compatibility program. That’s a huge chunk of games that can suddenly be played on new hardware! Some of these games and current ones even received upgrades to make them run a little better on current generation hardware. Ever wanted to see Sonic Unleased played at 60 FPS? Well, now you can.
At Xbox, we believe in celebrating gaming and preserving its legacy. No other art form offers the opportunity to be immersed in expansive universes through the combination of stunning visuals, evocative music, emotion-driven storytelling and interactive, living worlds. Since 2015, the backward compatibility program for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S has made it possible for gamers around the globe to discover and replay thousands of games spanning our 20-year history.
…
Today, we’re excited to add 70+ Xbox 360 and original Xbox games to our backward compatibility catalog in celebration of our 20th anniversary. This includes many of your top requested favorites including:
The entire Max Payne series and the F.E.A.R. franchise are now playable on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles for the very first time.
The entire Skate franchise is now complete with the addition of Skate 2 and playable on both Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.
We also heard the desire for more original Xbox titles to be added to the catalog. We are pleased to announce we were able to bring more than 20+ original Xbox titles to an entire new generation of gamers, including Dead or Alive Ultimate, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II, Star Wars: Starfighter, and Otogi franchises.
While the official Xbox blog gave everyone a pretty good starting off point for where they can begin their backward compatibility experience there is a few other games that are getting an entry into this list that we think you should check out.
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
This game has no business being this good. 50 Cent had a video game come out before Blood on the Sand and it was horrifically bad. So when he had another game coming out the expectations for it weren’t very high. So it surprised everyone when they booted up the game and found a competent third-person shooter with a really fun combo mechanic. It’s a fantastic co-op experience and the dialogue is right in the sweet spot between ridiculous but not bad. We’re thrilled to see this on the backward compatibility list.
Red Dead Revolver
Two of the most influential games of the last two consoles generations were Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2. These two western hits from Rockstar saw many people fall in love with the characters, story and setting that the Grand Theft Auto developer created. It was not their first experience making western games, however. Red Dead Revolver was actually the first game in what would go on to be the Red Dead series. Ever wanted to see how it all began? Now you can do so on current hardware!
Binary Domain
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, also known as the team at SEGA behind Yakuza, made a third-person shooter called Binary Domain for the Xbox 360. It got mediocre reviews, didn’t sell particularly well, and was eventually forgotten to time. However, as more people have gotten their hands on it the game has become something of a cult classic. It’s a cover-based third-person shooter from a time where everyone was trying to be the next Gears of War and that may have pushed everyone away from a game that fans love. Want to experience it yourself on modern hardware? Go find a copy and you can!

Kenneth Branagh, an acclaimed actor and director known for his many film adaptations of Shakespeare (as well as for directing Thor) gets personal in Belfast. Branagh both writes and directs this familiar yet enjoyable cinematic memoir, a black and white, 60-year-old thespian’s answer to Ladybird or Brooklyn.
Branagh himself was born in Belfast but left with his family to escape the Troubles when he was nine. Thus it seems not much of a stretch to assume that Belfast is a semi-autobiographical work, and that its 10-year-old protagonist, Buddy, played by Jude Hill, is a stand-in for Branagh himself. The path to the universal is through the specific, and it’s nice to see Branagh return home. Branagh’s pedigree, as both a seasoned Shakespearian and occasional mass-market director for hire, is nonetheless apparent in his embrace of the broad and the traditional. Branagh nearly always seeks to justify convention, rather than reinvent it. He’s not the guy who’s going to dissect the knock-knock joke, he’s the guy who wants to prove that it’s still relevant. So it is Belfast is both beautiful and timeless; occasionally a little schmaltzy, though mostly in a good way.
Focus Features
Belfast opens with a gorgeous, full-color montage of the modern Belfast skyline, before segueing, somewhat disappointingly, to a black and white 1969 when the story takes place. Did we need the black and white to know it’s the past? I tend to like it when the past looks present, vivid and transporting. The grayscale cinematography does look stately, I suppose. Though I do wonder whether it’s just a way to communicate “this film shall be eligible for awards.”
Now, tell me if you’ve heard this one before: there’s an Irish family, and the father is a sporadically-employed blue-collar type, who drinks and gambles a little more than he should, though it’s rarely held against him because he’s such a charming rogue and a handsome raconteur, with cute little nicknames for all the children and a quiver of flirtatious one-liners for all the ladies. While the father is a bit of a dreamer, the mother is a rock-ribbed realist, keeping the children in line, the finances in order, and the father out of too much trouble. Truth is, she’s secretly just as much of a sucker for all his bullshit as everyone else.
If you’ve read Angela’s Ashes or experienced virtually any Irish immigrant story between 1845 and today, Belfast‘s family dynamic probably isn’t anything new to you. Jamie Dornan plays Buddy’s father and Catríona Balfe Buddy’s mother, and boy are they ever gorgeous. I’d probably pay to watch these two lookers stack the dishes, every bit as sexy and glamorous as anyone on Mad Men, despite him being an itinerant pipe fitter (just like Branagh’s Da) and her an overworked housewife. Throw in the great Judi Dench as Buddy’s gran and the vastly underrated Ciarán Hinds as Pop, and hey, sounds pretty good, right?
Truth is, I fucking loveAngela’s Ashes. I throw on “Fairytale of New York” by the Pogues at Christmas time and it makes me want to lock arms with strangers and bellow, whiskey-breathed, the half-remembered lyrics. Part of the appeal of the Irish Immigrant Story, I think, is that it is a bit corny; that hoary old tale we make granddad tell again and again because we liked the way it made us feel so much the first time.
Focus Features
Of course, the idea of an epochal conflict as experienced through the eyes of an innocent is also a bit of a cliché, the most obvious example being War Horse. Belfast‘s war is The Troubles and its horse of course is Buddy, a love-struck, candy-craving 10-year-old who can’t be expected to understand the ins and outs of the Catholic-Protestant divide. Da bai’s only 10, for Jaysis sake! He’s also from a Protestant family living in a Catholic neighborhood in a Protestant area, which is confusing in itself.
Very few 10-year-olds could pull off what Belfast is asking of Jude Hill here, to carry multiple scenes with the camera locked in close-up, his reactions serving as the emotional anchor of important moments. Hill, spirited though he is, doesn’t really pull them off either. A lot of memoirs will slip into what I think of as “child voice.” That’s when the author affects the persona of their own childhood self, with exaggerated innocence. “And then mommy served us around, hard thingy filled with gooey hollow corkscrews, a ‘bowl’ of something I later learned was called ‘Kraft Mac and Cheese.‘”
It’s a device that tends towards obnoxious, depending on how far they take it. The memoir itself is so obviously a product of adult reasoning and justification, the author trying to organize memory into cause and effect and illustrate something about their family or themselves, that child voice becomes a transparent contrivance, an adult’s weird attempt to ingratiate by baby-talking at you. Buddy is necessary to Belfast, but occasionally too central a framing device, Branagh’s cinematic equivalent of the memoirist’s child voice.
Luckily Belfast isn’t really a story about The Troubles. It’s about the timeless, age-old, love-hate relationship so many of us have with the places where we were born. What do you do when everything about the place seems to be pushing you away, yet it’s also the only place filled with the people you love? It’s that constant push-pull, between opportunity and familiarity, that drives Belfast, the same way it drove Brooklyn and Ladybird and Angela’s Ashes and probably a thousand other immigrant narratives before it. I could pretend I’m above such things, or that I’ve heard this story too many times already, but, especially when I’ve got a charming old raconteur like Kenneth Branagh puffing a pipe in front of me, really I just want to hear it again.
‘Belfast’ is available now, exclusively in theaters. Vince Mancini is on Twitter. You can check out his film review archive here.
Polo G has been having a good past couple of weeks. After announcing the Hall Of Fame 2.0 deluxe edition of his No. 1 album (with 14 new tracks) last week, he also released the Michael Jackson-sampling “Bad Man (Smooth Criminal)” lead single. Now, the scales of justice have tipped in his favor as Miami-Dade County prosecutors have dropped two felony charges against him stemming from a June incident.
The charges were for battery of a police officer and threatening a public servant, which occurred in a physical altercation that the rapper had with two cops who pulled over his car. He was merely a passenger in a private car, along with his mother and manager, Stacia Mac. They both eventually went on social media to explain how there was no grounds for even removing the rapper — who was on his way back from his album release party — from the car. “1 of the officers told us they was on us since we got off our Jet…..” he posted on Twitter shortly after posting bail.
1 of the officers told us they was on us since we got Off our Jet…..
In June, Uproxx indicated that “According to Billboard and documents provided by Miami police, the rapper was stopped in order to be searched for weapons as a cop suspected they might be carrying some because they heard a passenger say the vehicle they were riding in was bulletproof.”
Being in a bulletproof car is perfectly legal and is hardly a cause to pull somebody over. It seems as though the Miami-Dade County prosecutor feels the same way here and have thus dropped the charges. And while Polo G is still facing two misdemeanor charges, his attorney told TMZ that “Polo will enroll in an anger management program, and once it’s completed the remaining charges will be dropped and the case will be closed.”
