On the big screen, Murphy, who turns 25 next week, has built a career on similar feats of alchemy. Since her debut in 1995’s “Clueless”–she had curly brown hair then and puffy cheeks, perfect for playing Tai, the transplanted Jersey girl–and up through last year’s thriller “Don’t Say a Word,” the actress has specialized in taking one-note parts and shaping them into memorable creations. She does it again in “8 Mile,” which opens Nov....
When Red Dead Redemption 2 was delayed, fans were heartbroken. Memes about Rockstar’s infamous habit of delaying games were mixed with disappointment from many, and sadness from a few who could not be consoled by the fresh screenshots that the company released as a sort of apology gift. An appearance at E3 would be incredibly rare for the company, as it does not host an annual presentation (although parent company Take-Two regularly shows up), but it would go a long way towards making it up to those upset fans....
The stars, who exchanged vows in December 1997, have been the focus of unprecedented scrutiny over the past two weeks, after Smith slapped Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars in reaction to a joke he had made about Pinkett Smith. An October 2018 episode of Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch show, Red Table Talk, has since resurfaced, showing Smith revealing that he and his wife almost didn’t make it down the aisle because the Set It Off actress once swore at him....
Smith stunned viewers on Sunday, when he bounded onto the stage at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre and struck Rock across the face, after the comedian made a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s hair loss, which is due to alopecia. After returning to his seat, Smith bellowed to Rock that he should “keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth.” While Smith later apologized onstage as he accepted his Best Actor Oscar for his role in King Richard, he didn’t directly address Rock until Monday....

While the panel did not conclude whether a variant-specific vaccine was necessary, many experts stressed the importance of continued surveillance and ongoing meetings to prepare for such a need in the fall. Some experts said the Omicron variant intensifies the need for changes to the primary vaccine series, as the variant has been able to evade vaccine immunity better than its predecessors, like Delta. Pfizer and Moderna previously announced plans to develop an Omicron-specific vaccine, with Pfizer claiming its shot could be ready within 100 days....
First, before those fans of the very singular experience of God of War begin to cry foul, it’s worth noting that the job posting only explains that the programmer to be hired would join the God of War team, not that they would be working on a God of War title. While it might be fun to once again visit the world of God of War, it’s hard to ask a developer that delivered three stellar God of War titles (and helped work on two excellent PSP games) to go back to a storyline they wrapped up....

Speaking to the media during the first day of pre-season testing in Barcelona, Capito said: Capito said a lot of the changes that were initiated under the new ownership were not concerning personnel, but structural changes that were critical to the operation of the team.
