World Cup in Russia could be dangerous for homosexual fans, FIFA advisers warn

FIFA's anti-discrimination advisers are warning gay soccer fans going to the 2018 World Cup in Russia that displays of affection could be met with an aggressive response from intolerant locals.

Why do Texas prisons ban 'Freakonomics' but not Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'?

More than 10,000 books are banned from Texas prisons, but they might not be the ones you think. Alice Walker's The Color Purple, which won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award for fiction, is not allowed. Neither is Freakonomics, the 2005 bestseller that explained concepts such as cheating at school and parenting techniques using economic theory.

Angela Lansbury says women must 'sometimes take blame' for sexual harassment

Renowned actress Angela Lansbury is facing criticism after saying women "must sometimes take blame" for sexual harassment because of the way they dress. In an interview Monday with British entertainment media company RadioTimes, Lansbury said women "have gone out of their way to make themselves attractive. And unfortunately it has backfired on us...

The critics didn’t care much for “The Orville,” but apparently viewers do. Seven weeks into the new season, Seth MacFarlane’s space odyssey is one of the most time-shifted series in all of television, as its audience more than doubles after seven days of DVR and video-on-demand usage.

In Live+7 ratings, “The Orville’s” season-long average jumps 110 percent among adults 18-49 — from a 1.0 rating to a 2.1 rating. The only broadcast shows that do better are both returning series...

Will past controversial tweets impact Chipper Jones' Hall of Fame chances?

Hall of Fame season is always a contentious time for those tasked with voting and for those with passionate opinions on the subject. This year is starting off with even more fervor than usual though after Joe Morgan’s letter urging voters to leave PED users off their ballots. Morgan’s letter, which Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Passan quickly shredded while explaining his decision to abstain from voting, attempted to zero in on keeping steroid users out of the Hall of Fame.

Why Disney Is Expecting To Lose A Lot Of Money On Hulu Next Year

Hulu might be winning big with original series' like The Handmaid's Tale, but other facets of the subscription service still require a little T.L.C. until they get some legs. The "C", in this instance at least, is cash. Disney reports they're expecting around $100 million in losses in the next fiscal year due to the launch of Hulu Live. Apparently, putting live television on a streaming service is not cheap!

Marvel Studios has a couple billion reasons to be thankful this year. The studio has now earned over $2.5 billion at the worldwide box office in 2017.

Leah Remini Calls ‘Bullsh*t’ on the LAPD and Danny Masterson

The Scientology whistleblower says there may be a reason the LAPD’s investigations of sexual misconduct allegations against Danny Masterson have stalled: cozy ties with the Church. Last week, The Daily Beast published a statement from Chrissie Carnell Bixler, one of at least four women who is accusing the actor Danny Masterson of rape. Bixler, 39, alleges that when she reported her rape to officials at the Church of Scientology, which at the time counted her and Masterson as members, she was “made to feel like I didn’t matter,” and was told that she couldn’t have been raped by a man she was in a relationship with.
