Pitchfork and its senior writer, Alphonse Pierre, had Team Breezy heated on Tuesday (May 12) following a review of the ‘BROWN’ album. Pierre gave the project a 1.3 score, calling it “a real piece of sh*t.” While he hasn’t addressed the viral backlash to the review, Chris Brown finally broke his silence! Tank, whose Team Breezy all the way, also threw a lil’ shade at Pitchfork.

What Did Alphonse Pierre Say About ‘BROWN’ Via Pitchfork? 

The question really should be…what DIDN’T he say?! Alphonse Pierre held nothing back, choosing to analyze Chris’ entire history in the music industry rather than just the album ‘BROWN.’ From the beating of Rihanna in 2009 to Chris Brown’s attempts at public redemption since, it’s all in there. More than 2,000 words trashing ‘BROWN’ less than one week after its release on May 8. The summary line alone, which opens the Pitchfork article, goes HAM. It reads, “Chris Brown’s soulless, hit-chasing new album doesn’t justify his return to the public eye.”

In the copy, Pierre said Brown has positioned himself as the “victim of the media conspiring against him.” Simultaneously, Pierre claims the singer uses his fans’ “nostalgia for his youthful innocence” and his “cool…backflips” to convince them of “his version of history.” The senior writer emphasized that Chris has used the “battering of Rihanna” to “give his music an emotional complexity it didn’t have before the incident.” That’s been the case in all his music since 2009, including ‘BROWN,’ Pierre argues. Being a Chris Brown fan turned into rooting “for a talented Black man to triumph, regardless of the truth.” 

“It was to view his physical abuse of women as a rite of passage on the journey to becoming a man,” Alphonse Pierre wrote. Adding, “All of the overstuffed albums and Billboard hits he’s racked up since then are tainted with that context. None more than BROWN, which isn’t romantic or funny or sexy or sultry or dancey or soulful or vulnerable or honest or creative or inspired whatsoever. It’s soulless, hit-chasing music with nothing going for it if you aren’t personally invested in the Chris Brown culture wars.”

All that said while also being the first time Pitchfork has reviewed the singer’s music in at least 6-7 years? Skipped over at least three projects to land on the idea that “Not every musical legend deserves to be a martyr.” Those are facts that Team Breezy is holding on to and calling out! Meanwhile, Pitchfork has been radio silent on the backlash, while continuing to promote the article on X with captions like, “This album is a real piece of shit,” and “Soulless, hit-chasing music with nothing going for it.” 

Alphonse Pierre also hasn’t stepped up to defend the words he wrote. On X, he pushed it out once with the caption, “Went a little long on 20 years of Chris Brown and his new album, ‘Brown.’”

Chris Brown Claps Back At Review With THIS Energy

Before Tuesday was over, Chris Brown broke his silence on what Pierre had to say. And if anyone was expecting a sad message from Breezy? Don’t. “F*ck that,” is what the singer said.

“We kicking a*s goddammit. We ain’t letting up, imma keep my foot on their neck and we ain’t stopping,” Chris Brown said, mentioning his and Usher’s upcoming R&B tour and other secret projects. “I don’t give a f*ck what these n*ggas talking about. I know exactly who my fans is and I know exactly who hearing this album. If you not my fan, I don’t want you to listen to my sh*t.”

He ended his clap back by suggesting that his non-fans listen to someone like Zara Larsson, a Swedish R&B singer and songwriter.

Tank Seemingly Shades Pitchfork As Internet Reacts To Pierre’s Review 

Like Chris Brown, Tank had similar energy for Pitchfork and its ‘BROWN’ review. On X, he responded to a tweet asking whether he had cussed the publication out yet for the 1.3 rating. Tank replied, “Pitch who?..” adding laughing emojis.

Fans were expecting him to go off, given that just last week he heavily defended Chris after a social media user claimed Breezy needed to be challenged, saying “CB is a musical genius if you’ve really followed the music. This style isn’t new to him it’s only new to you..lol.”

The MCU television projects on Disney+ have something of a bad rap among elements of the fandom. Some resent these shows for feeling like homework that you have to watch before you can enjoy the next movie. Others resent these series for playing it safe rather than pushing the creative envelope. However, one blunt reason some fans dislike these shows is that they usually aren’t that good. For every groundbreaking series like WandaVision, it seems like we get ambitious, cinematic failures (like Secret Invasion) or superfluous side quests (like Echo). It’s enough to make you start asking whether the MCU still has the juice or if showrunners are just going through the motions.

Recently, however, something very ironic happened. The Season 2 finale of Daredevil: Born Again ended up with a 9.5 rating on IMDB, meaning that it’s currently tied with the first episode of Loki (“Glorious Purpose”) as the highest-rated television episode of the MCU. Normally, that would be a good sign, one that indicates that Marvel’s writers, directors, and showrunners have learned from past mistakes and know how to give the people what they want. Unfortunately, they learned this lesson too late, as viewership for Daredevil: Born Again has absolutely plummeted from last season.

The Devil Went Down (In Ratings)

The Season 2 finale of Daredevil: Born Again (“The Southern Cross”) was quite the crowd-pleaser. Without getting into spoilers, it involved a shocking showdown as Matt Murdock testified against Wilson Fisk in court. Meanwhile, we got a more traditional showdown when Matt donned the devil horns and teamed up with Jessica Jones to throw down against the various forces of the Kingpin. Audiences loved the whole thing so much that this episode currently has a 9.5 on IMDB, which ties it with the series premiere of Loki. That sounds absolutely great until you take a closer look at some other, very sobering numbers.

As I wrote about before, Daredevil: Born Again had 652,000,000 minutes watched in its first five weeks. That was actually a significant drop from Season 1, which had 1.44 billion minutes watched in the same time frame, indicating that the hit show had lost over 54 percent of hours watched from season to season. However, both seasons pale in comparison to Loki, which had 731 million minutes viewed in the premiere week for Season 1. In other words, Tom Hiddleston’s antihero show had a sizeably larger audience for one episode than Daredevil: Born Again had for more than half of its second season.

Superhero Fatigue No More?

This leads to an obvious conclusion that may spell doom for Marvel. To the audiences who have already tuned out of MCU movies and shows, quality is no longer the issue. Recently, Peter Safran, co-CEO of DC Studios, made the bold claim that superhero fatigue doesn’t exist and that audiences are simply suffering from “mediocre movie fatigue.” It’s a clear swipe at Marvel, one that allows him to imply his rivals have been losing money by simply pumping out crappy content. While that’s obviously true in some cases, the audience drop-off for the highly-rated Born Again (which just gave us the most beloved MCU television episode in years) proves quality doesn’t guarantee clicks. 

A big audience drop was expected, but not this big, so what gives? Some fans stopped watching due to the show’s slow-burning pace and the repetitive nature of the constant Kingpin/Daredevil battle. Others are waiting to just binge the season in one go. Of course, some stopped watching the show (legally, at least) because the House of Mouse increased subscription costs right before the new season dropped. The final theory is that superhero fatigue is very real, and the constant glut of new shows and films has made it hard for the average Marvel maniac to care about any one show (no matter its quality). 

Hell’s Kitchen Cools Down

Whatever the exact reason, all of this spells trouble for Marvel Studios, which is hoping that Avengers: Doomsday will bring back the halcyon days when each new movie was a critical and commercial smash hit. But we’re living in a post-Endgame world, one in which there’s too much supply and not nearly enough demand. For years now, many have thought as Peter Safran did: that Marvel can regain its former glory by simply making something worth watching. But Daredevil: Born Again’s universally-loved, barely-watched Season 2 is proof that even the best shows and movies may not be enough to restore the most ambitious cinematic universe ever made to its former luster.

a sad twist of fate, or just karma for years of squandered opportunities? That, true believers, is up for you to decide.

Although the characters of The Big Bang Theory are fans of all things sci-fi, particularly Star Trek, the franchise they live in remains mostly grounded. The original sitcom that started it all ran for 12 seasons, following the evolving relationships, scientific pursuits, and other antics of friends Sheldon (Jim Parsons), Leonard (Johnny Galecki), Raj (Kunal Nayyar), and Howard (Simon Helberg), ending with the four finding fulfillment in their lives and careers. Prequel spin-offs Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, meanwhile, have since fleshed out Sheldon’s past and the history of the Cooper family to massive success for CBS. Now, though, the nerdy series is one step closer to entering a realm its scientist friends could’ve only dreamed of.

Warner Bros. Discovery announced during its annual upfront presentation in New York that Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the latest Big Bang Theory spin-off starring Kevin Sussman‘s kindly comic store owner Stuart Bloom, is set to premiere on HBO Max on July 23. Series co-creator Chuck Lorre previously described the series as “something the characters on The Big Bang Theory, would have loved, hated, and argued about,” placing Stuart in the middle of a multiversal disaster requiring a sci-fi adventure of epic proportions to prevent the end of all things. Unfortunately, he’s not very good at it. At least he has the help of his girlfriend Denise (Lauren Lapkus), geologist Bert (Brian Posehn), and pain-in-the-ass quantum physicist Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie) along the way.

Along with the release date, the first official teaser was revealed, showing just how woefully unprepared this quartet of “really incompetent Doctor Whos” is to become heroes. The trouble begins after Stuart breaks a device built by Sheldon and Leonard, inadvertently kickstarting the multiversal apocalypse and thus, his journey to save it. From there, the recognizable elements and characters of The Big Bang Theory are twisted to fit into a much more action-packed and special effects-heavy adventure across different worlds, unlike anything else from the franchise, or Lorre, for that matter. Naturally, they wind up in a fair bit of trouble along the way, threatening to end Stuart and co’s journey before it even gets interesting. A new, sci-fi backdrop hasn’t changed the sense of humor, though, combining the same brand of comedy with bigger-budget spectacle for something truly out of this world.

‘Stuart Fails to Save the Universe’ Reunites ‘The Big Bang Theory’s Creative Minds

Making Stuart Fails to Save the Universe after co-creating the flagship sitcom and its two prior offshoots took Lorre out of his comfort zone, but, like Stuart, he didn’t have to do it alone. His Big Bang Theory partner, Bill Prady, reunites with him at the helm of the sci-fi show, alongside Zak Penn, who brought the blockbuster action experience, having previously written for The Avengers, X2, Ready Player One, and more. Danny Elfman also came aboard to compose a new theme. This will be a big step-up for Stuart and his pals after playing second fiddle to Pasadena’s four biggest nerds, but there’s a chance that the friends, or other characters like Kaley Cuoco‘s Penny, could appear in the alternate universes they visit. The possibilities are endless, given the sheer scope of this series under the Warner Bros. Television umbrella.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe kicks off its ten-episode run on HBO Max on July 23. New episodes will follow every Thursday. Check out the first official teaser in the player above.

Lindsay Lohan’s latest red carpet appearance has social media doing double takes after fans claimed the actress looked almost impossible to recognize. 

The former child star stepped out at Disney’s 2026 Upfront event in New York City looking polished, youthful, and noticeably refreshed, immediately sparking fresh cosmetic surgery speculation online. 

While some fans praised her glowing transformation, others questioned whether the “Mean Girls” icon now looks more like other Hollywood actresses than herself as debates over her evolving appearance quickly exploded across social media.

Lindsay Lohan became one of the most talked-about stars of Disney’s 2026 Upfront after arriving on the red carpet in a dramatic couture gown that instantly grabbed attention online.

The actress wore a strapless ivory-and-black embroidered Ashi Studio Fall/Winter 2025 Couture dress while attending the New York City event. 

Her glowing complexion and youthful appearance quickly became the bigger headline, however, with social media users immediately flooding Reddit with reactions.

Many fans admitted they struggled to recognize the “Freaky Friday” actress at first glance. “Thought this was Julia Roberts. Unrecognizable,” one commenter wrote.

Another social media user compared Lohan to another actress entirely, claiming she looked “nothing” like herself and instead resembled “Mandy Moore.”

Others were equally stunned by the transformation. “If you would have shown me [this photo of Lohan] and offered me $100 to guess who that was, I can tell you my wallet would still be empty,” another person joked.

Lindsay Lohan Receives More Mixed Reactions From Fans

Some other Redditors slammed Lohan for lying about going under the knife and attributing her transformation to healthy living. 

One person commented, “I don’t care if a celeb wants to get a face lift / major work done, but what I can’t stand is when a celeb straight up lies about it, the way Lindsay tried to claim her new face is the result of “drinking green juices” or whatever.”

Despite the criticism, some fans praised her refreshed appearance, with one user calling her alleged “facelift” the version “everyone else tries to emulate.”

Another user wrote, “Lot of haters in these comments, but I’m glad to see one of the childhood stars I grew up with land back on her feet. I loved her then and I love her now. We all went through some sh-t. Get it girl.”

Lohan Faces Renewed Cosmetic Surgery Speculation

The online frenzy surrounding Lindsay Lohan’s appearance quickly reignited long-running rumors about whether she has undergone cosmetic procedures.

The actress has faced years of speculation about possible fillers, Botox, or surgical enhancements as fans compare her current look to earlier phases of her career.

However, Lohan herself has consistently denied undergoing plastic surgery. Back in May 2025, she addressed the ongoing rumors during an interview with Chloe Fineman for an Elle cover story. 

While discussing beauty and aging in Hollywood, Lohan explained that her routine centers more on skincare and wellness than surgery. “Everyone does Botox,” she admitted during the conversation.

However, when asked directly about her beauty secrets, Lohan responded honestly, “Oh, God, I don’t even know how to answer that.” 

Lindsay Lohan Credits Wellness And Skincare For Her Glow

Rather than crediting cosmetic treatments, Lohan pointed toward healthy habits and skincare as the real reason behind her wrinkle-free complexion.

The 39-year-old revealed that she started every morning with a homemade juice made from “carrot, ginger, lemon, olive oil, apple.” 

She also said hydration played a major role in her beauty routine. “I also drink a lot of green tea, a lot of water,” Lohan shared.

The Hollywood star added that she regularly ate pickled beets and included them in many meals. “I’m a big pickled beets person, so I put them in almost everything,” she explained.

Her skincare routine is equally intense. Lohan detailed habits that include splashing her face with ice-cold water each morning, adding chia seeds to her water, and using daily eye patches.

Lohan Reveals How Dubai Changed Her Lifestyle

Lindsay Lohan has largely stepped away from the nonstop Hollywood spotlight since moving to Dubai in 2014.

The “Freaky Friday” actress has often spoken positively about the calmer lifestyle she found in the United Arab Emirates, where she now spends much of her time away from paparazzi and public chaos.

This week, amid the latest speculation surrounding her appearance, Lohan gave a special shoutout to her longtime dermatologist, Dr. Radmila Lukian.

Posting a smiling selfie to Instagram Stories, she admitted her skin was struggling while traveling away from Dubai. “My skin can definitely tell,” she wrote per the Daily Mail. She also tagged Lukian and added, “Can’t wait to be back.” 

The dermatologist appears to have played a major role in Lohan’s skincare journey over the years. 

Lukian even has a pinned Instagram photo with the actress from December 2024 alongside the caption, “Trust and confidence are the foundation of our relationship.”

How does Prime Video do it?

Amazon’s streamer keeps expanding its already impressive digital library by adding one hit after another. The online platform is now home to the six-time Oscar-winning action-drama One Battle After Another, which is scheduled to be added on Saturday, May 23.

That Leonardo DiCaprio-starring movie is already a masterpiece, but Watch With Us has found a couple of other modern classics that are worth adding to your queue.

Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing is just as potent now as it was when it sparked a firestorm of conversation in 1989, while the gory horror classic The Return of the Living Dead might make you swear off meat for the rest of your life.

‘One Battle After Another’ (2025)

Is it possible for a movie to already be considered a “masterpiece” only eight months after it was released? In One Battle After Another’s case, the answer is a resounding yes. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Bob Ferguson, a burned-out former revolutionary who has been hiding from the authorities for nearly two decades. When his 16-year-old daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti), becomes the target of an old adversary, Steven Lockjaw (Sean Penn), Bob has to reunite his anti-establishment buddies, the French 75, to stop Lockjaw and save Willa from being killed.

Loosely adapted from Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, Paul Thomas Anderson’s movie imagines an America ruled by secret societies and a fascist government. Mixing action, satire and drama, the movie paints a rich portrait of a country still divided by class warfare and racial tensions, yet populated with citizens who hope and work for a better future. Anderson’s direction is superb, with the car chase in Borrego Springs, California, already a classic worthy of comparison to Bullitt and The French Connection, while the performances from Penn, Infini, and three-time Oscar winner Penn are vivid and heartbreaking. Years from now, when people want to see what 2025 looked and felt like, they’ll watch One Battle After Another.

‘Do the Right Thing’ (1989)

It’s summertime in Brooklyn, and it’s already too hot for Mookie (Spike Lee). He’s a twentysomething pizza deliveryman for Sal (Danny Aiello), an Italian American whose clientele is mostly Black. That doesn’t prevent him and his son, Pino (John Turturro), from showing contempt for the community that helps them thrive. As the temperature rises, so do the uneasy tensions between the diverse communities that live side-by-side. When a shocking act of violence sends everyone over the edge, Mookie, Sal and the rest of the neighborhood will never be the same again.

Do the Right Thing was recently named the best movie of the 1980s, and we won’t argue with that. Dramatic, funny, thrilling, shocking and sad, it’s the rare movie that transcends all genres and perfectly captures a moment in time that we’re still experiencing today. In addition to the fantastic writing and directing by Lee, the movie boasts knockout performances from Aiello, Bill Nunn, Giancarlo Esposito and Rosie Perez as Mookie’s live-wire baby mama. Do the Right Thing is the rare masterpiece that feels alive every time you watch it.

‘The Return of the Living Dead’ (1985)

When toxic gas is accidentally released from an old Army canister in Louisville, Kentucky, all hell breaks loose — and the dead rise from their graves to feast on brains, brains and more brains. A group of teens is stuck in a cemetery when these zombies come a-calling, and they have to survive the night with few resources, an acid rain storm and a growing horde of the undead chasing them. How do you kill what’s already dead? That’s the question they’ll all have to answer if they’re going to make it out alive.

The Return of the Living Dead has nothing to do with George A. Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead franchise, save for some slow-moving zombies and some snarky social commentary. This homage is more violent, though, with some pretty gnarly kills and all sorts of decomposed bodies on display. It’s not for the faint of heart, especially when that organ and others are consumed so vociferously — and so graphically. I can’t think of another horror film that mixes such macabre humor, shocking violence and blunt nihilism as The Return of the Living Dead, which makes it the rare masterpiece you probably never want to watch ever again.

Hayden Panettiere is claiming a major beauty brand ended its association with her amid her battle with postpartum depression.

The Heroes actress details her mental health struggles after welcoming daughter Kaya in 2011 in her upcoming memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, an excerpt of which was published by The Cut on Tuesday, May 12.

Panettiere, 36, writes candidly about abusing alcohol to cope with her depression and her various stints in rehab during her time on the hit show Nashville.

“One day early in season 4, I arrived on set bleary-eyed, still shaking off the effects of my [insomnia] meds the night before. I’ve never been a morning person, but on the medication, I was a zombie,” she shares. “I couldn’t go on set like that, so I decided that before getting into the makeup chair I’d put my head down for a nap. Two hours later, I woke up in the hospital.”

Hayden Panettiere has had quite the career — and her personal life has been just as captivating. The Golden Globe-nominated actress started modeling at 5 months old and appeared in her first commercial when she was 11 months old. Her big break came in 1994 when she began playing Sarah Roberts on One Life to Live at […]

“‘What happened?’ I asked, my eyes darting from one end of my room to another. ‘I have no memory of coming here. Did something happen to me?’” the actress adds. “A kind nurse who was about to take my vital signs spoke up. ‘Someone at your work found you asleep on the sofa and couldn’t wake you up. So, she called an ambulance.’”

During Nashville’s fourth season, Panettiere’s character, Juliette Barnes, was temporarily written out to facilitate her going to rehab, but she said she lost another job.

“The producers had no choice but to write me out of the script temporarily — something that killed me because I’d always prided myself on my professionalism — and I issued a statement about where I was going and why,” she writes. “My fans and the press were hugely sympathetic — and I’ll always be grateful for that — but a part of my career I’d come to depend on suffered. Neutrogena canceled my long-standing contract, and it was yet another blow in a year that had given almost nothing else.”

Panettiere, who appeared in various advertising campaigns for Neutrogena, alluded to her partnership with the brand ending in her recent Us Weekly cover story.
