My Obsession With Twilight, Two Decades On

Why me the internet (and Gen Z) is still obsessed with Twilight, two decades on. Twilight, the first book in Stephanie Meyer’s teen vampire romance saga published between 2005 and 2020. It has also been almost 20 years since Kristen Stewart’s awkward “plain girl” Bella and Robert Pattinson’s century-old glittery Edward appeared in the first movie. The film Twilight (2008) grossed more than US$407 million (about A$539 million at the time) worldwide during its theatrical release. It is often credited with launching the careers of Stewart and Pattinson. Full of awkward dialogue, melodramatic acting and absurd scenes like the iconic vampire family-bonding baseball game, Twilight has earned cult status. Akin to Tommy Wiseau’s bizarre flop-turned-mock-hit The Room (2003), it is “so bad it’...

What’s All The Who-Raw About Love Island TV SHOW?

Big Apple Native Erin Moriarty Is The Apple Of Many Fans Eyes

With her blonde curls, pursing lips and fresh face, Big Apple native Erin Moriarty is the apple of many fans' eyes. Although her favorite book is Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried, we’re more interested in the way she carries her rack, dating back to her bikini-clad turn in the slasher film Toy’s House (2013). After scoring recurring roles on the ABC dramedy Red Widow (2013) and the HBO mystery True Detective, the busy babe played Hope on Netflix’s Jessica Jones (2015). During the Marvel series, she gives viewers something to marvel at: namely her butt cheeks! Meanwhile, on the big screen, the skintastic actress was without clothes in Within (2016).

English Actress And Model: The Sensual Suki Waterhouse

Best know for her work in Love, Rosie (2014), The Bad Batch (2016), and Insurgent (2015). Suki was born in Hammersmith, London, England on January 5, 1992. This British babe made her onscreen debut in the TV series Material Girl in 2010. Suki gets stripped down to her underwear for her role in The Bad Batch and we get a look at Suki’s amazing ass in Love, Rosie. However, our favorite place to see Suki with her clothes off is in the short film Rachael (2012). This British film is a short snapshot into the everyday life of an English family in the 1940s. We see the mother and father at breakfast while the older sister tries to get ready for work. Although the film is only three minutes long, they don’t waste any time with the nudity! Suki plays the younger sister Rachael who hogs the bat...

The Return Of Jimmy Kimmel

Even as Jimmy Kimmel returns to the airwaves, TV networks remain more vulnerable to political pressure than ever before. “Is there any way we can screw him?” asked President Richard M. Nixon. “We’ve been trying to,” an aide replied, alluding to the White House’s efforts to remove from the airwaves an ABC talk show host whose critiques of the administration had placed that “son of a b—h” on the chief executive’s enemies list. Over 50 years ago, Nixon and his team sought to use the full weight of the federal government – with calls to network executives, Federal Communications Commission complaints, IRS audits and FBI investigations – to silence “The Dick Cavett Show.” Cavett, who seemed to personify the liberalism that Nixon despised, had drawn the president’s ire by platforming anti-...
