10 years ago this week, “The Simpsons Movie” was released in theaters, 17 and a half years after the iconic FOX animated series began.

Daniel Kaluuya – “Get Out” […]
Gordon Ramsay is one of the busiest chefs in the business. I honestly have no idea how he has time to cook at one of his restaurants because he’s a part of SO many TV shows: “Hell’s Kitchen”, “Masterchef”, “Masterchef Junior” and “Hotel Hell” (the American version of “Kitchen Nightmares” also ran for 7 years […]
