Selena Gomez is leaving her home kitchen behind and heading out into some of Los Angeles’ hottest kitchens in a new Food Network show.
Selena + Restaurant, premiering May 2 on Food Network, will take viewers into the kitchens of six buzzy L.A. restaurants.
The cooking skills Gomez gained during her Max show Selena + Chef — where master chefs help the pop star and actress learn to cook — will be put to the test by some of L.A.’s best chefs including Shirley Chung, Keith Corbin, Stephanie Izard, Andrew and Michelle Muñoz, Wolfgang Puck and Marcel Vigneron.
Over the course of six episodes, the Only Murders in the Building star will be tested by the chefs in the hopes of creating a new dish for each restaurant’s menu. Gomez’s best friend Raquelle Stevens, a contestant on Selena + Chef, will accompany her throughout the show.

A Texas mother pushes her reluctant teen daughter to follow in her footsteps as a beauty queen. Yes, we’ve seen so many versions of this story before — but luckily, the Miss Juneteenth competition is no typical beauty pageant. It commemorates the day in 1865, some two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, when slaves in Texas were finally freed. And the movie that bears its name, set to be released on VOD on June 19th during one of the greatest racial-justice protests in history, bristles with timeliness as it celebrates young...

“Miss Juneteenth” richly captures the slow pace of ebbing small-town Texas life, even if you might wish there were a bit more narrative momentum to pick up the slack in writer-director Channing Godfrey Peoples’ first feature. She’s got a very relatable heroine in Nicole Beharie’s Turquoise, an erstwhile local beauty queen whose crown proved the peak rather than the kickoff to her dream of a better life — high hopes now transferred to a daughter reluctant to inherit that burden.
This portrait of a whole community dogged by debt and diminishing prospect has a basic authenticity that will ring true for many viewers unaccustomed to seeing themselves onscreen. That is, people whose aspirations toward the middle-class American Dream grow ever more remote as the middle class itself struggles to maintain its position.
Juneteenth is celebrated in many African American communities, but got its start and raison d’être in the Lone Star state,...

Avengers: Endgame is fast approaching, but wow, that Avengers: Infinity War left audiences on quite the cliffhanger. What with half the universe’s living organisms turned to dust and all. Even some of our favorite heroes couldn’t withstand the power of those darn Infinity Stones. Those few left are scattered, scared and scarred. How will the remaining defenders of Earth defeat Thanos and his mangled torso in Avengers: Endgame? Well, according to the internet, a certain insect-like man could use his power to defeat the Mad Titan with one, swift grow.
How, you ask? Simple: tiny Ant-Man enters Thanos’ big purple butthole, expands and destroys the CGI Josh Brolin from the inside-out. This is what has become known colloquially as “The Thanus Theory,” and it’s been all over the social media, making its rounds through memes and drawings.
People want to visualize this. People want this to happen.

In 2006 blair dorosh-walther, who identifies as gender non-conforming and uses male and female pronouns, read an article in The New York Times entitled "Man is Stabbed after Admiring a Stranger" and was immediately compelled to make a film. "Out in the Night," premiering at Laff this year, takes us beyond sensationalist headlines and gives a voice to the four women labelled as a "Gang of Killer Lesbians," who for all intents and purposes were simply defending themselves one hot August night. [Editor's Note: Indiewire reached out to filmmakers with films playing at the 20th La Film Festival (June 11-19) to ask them about how they shot their indie, and what advice they had for other filmmakers. We'll be posting their responses throughout the run of the festival. Go Here for the master list.] What camera and lens did you use? Our Cinematographer Daniel Patterson shot primarily on the Canon 7D, but when we started shooting, we had an Sony Sd Cam and then the Panasonic Hvx. At...
