In late-January, early February, my reporter and I began having discussions about her going to Salt Lake City to interview Taylor Frankie Paul, the new 'Bachelorette' and star of 'Mormon Wives.' Little did we know what would come next. latimes.com/entertainment-…

@Carlos_Film Honestly, same.

This thread and the rates discussed int it have propelled me into despair.

“It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Ms. Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.” nytimes.com/2026/03/18/us/…

For the evening crowd.

crazy to have one of the best newspapers on the planet and be like “hmmm what should we do here at the washington post now that news is more important than it’s ever been oh i know let’s fire everyone”

I am deeply saddened by what’s happening at the Washington Post today. The coverage of the arts matter, criticism matters.

In this essay by "Dark Winds" showrunner John Wirth, he writes about the moment he had to escape the Palisades fire that consumed his home and destroyed it a year ago. I appreciate him sharing this vivid recollection with us and allowing me to edit. latimes.com/entertainment-…

There's some overlap from Robert Lloyd's Best TV Shows list, and each are a great reminder of series that are either worth revisiting or starting if you didn't get around to them this year! latimes.com/entertainment-…

Because it was such a standout year for TV, there were some scenes and episodes that we felt were worth highlighting. Can you believe Severance, The Pitt, Jimmy Kimmel, SNL's 50th season and the creepy bat baby from Welcome to Derry were in 2025? latimes.com/entertainment-…

After 45 years of daily art journalism — 36 of them at the L.A. Times, with 2,195 bylines — this is my final column. It has been a privilege, and it has been (mostly) fun. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Happy Stranger Things Thanksgiving Eve to all who celebrate latimes.com/entertainment-…

Yes, we know who True's dad is, but did you know she also speaks Elvish? She spoke to us about the improvised line that surprised even Elijah Wood in last night's episode of I LOVE LA. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Beloved in Latin America, 31 MINUTOS, Chile’s answer to The Muppets and Sesame Street, is a musical puppet show that parodies a newscast. They recently did a Tiny Desk concert and they have a new Prime Video special. For LA Times, I interviewed the creators. Link in first reply.

Art critic Christopher Knight is retiring from @latimes at the end of the month. A huge loss for us. latimes.com/entertainment-…

The Times' @villarrealy is hanging out with @michaelurie as he gets ready for the Emmys tonight. Follow along in this diary of his day: latimes.com/entertainment-…

Kevin Williamson, the creator of "Dawson's Creek" and the "Scream" films, is channeling his family's story into the new Netflix series "The Waterfront" with a character that is based on his father. latimes.com/entertainment-…

The interview was taped before and after the day of the operation on Friday, so one might infer that Dr. Phil knew ahead of time that these raids would be happening. However, ICE officials didn't comment when I asked if he was given advance notice.

The headlines keep saying Dr. Phil was embedded with ICE officials during the LA raids, but he wasn't. He was, however, in town interviewing border czar Tom Homan. latimes.com/entertainment-…

During the height of Covid lockdowns, Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody began shooting videos for social media with their son, Gideon. That inspired "Seasoned," but the show was shelved. Now they're hoping a screening at Tribeca will help find it a home. latimes.com/entertainment-…

A series on the life of Chespirito, creator of El Chavo del 8, debuts today on Max. For LA Times I profiled Mexican actor Pablo Cruz Guerrero who plays him in CHESPIRITO: NOT REALLY ON PURPOSE (Sin querer queriendo) though he didn’t grow up watching his shows. Link in first reply
