"It's time to celebrate," Kandy Muse says, ahead of the season eight "RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars" finale on July 21. "We've done the competition. We're at the final two." That "we"? It's Kandy Muse, the Bronx native and "Drag Race" season 13 runner-up, and Canada's superstar, Jimbo. Though they're opponents, there's none of the signature gibes or subtle shade often prevalent in the "Drag Race" workroom. When Jimbo and Kandy Muse sit down with Popsugar, there's only pride for themselves, and each other.
"You'd be shocked at how close we get in such a short period of time," Kandy Muse says. "There's so much common ground." Of course, the pair did know each other before "All Stars"; they toured together prior to filming. The dressing room is where bonds are made, they say. "That's where all the tea is. That's where the girls kiki," Jimbo says. The tour and "Drag Race...

Spoiler Alert: This piece contains spoilers for “Destroyer of Worlds,” Episode 7 of “Pam & Tommy,” now streaming on Hulu.
While “Pam and Tommy” has given quite an intense peek into the life of Pamela Anderson, there isn’t a closer examination at her career ups and downs than Episode 7, the second one directed by Lake Bell.
First, there’s the promotion of her 1996 movie, “Barb Wire,” during which Anderson (portrayed by Lily James) was interrogated by the press about her sex tape with Tommy Lee, instead of her acting. The Hulu series allowed the recreation of the film — which meant they brought in some of the original stars, including Clint Howard.
“That was the stuff of dreams,” Bell says. “Everyone were such great sports, to be honest, because in the scene that we chose, the original actors were kind of like, ‘Yeah, I’ll come in!’ They just had a...

Though “Pam & Tommy” may take some creative license in telling its story, the recreation of Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) and Pamela Anderson (Lily James) at the height of their fame/infamy is unimpeachable. More than any of the needle drops or the script’s wide-eyed wonderment at VHS and the internet, it is the work of the hair and makeup teams that bring the entire era to life. IndieWire spoke to hair department head Barry Lee Moe, makeup department head David Williams, and makeup special effects designer Jason Collins about tackling that challenge.
“I got [Tommy’s] piercings from Body Electric on Melrose, and I simply took in a photo of Tommy Lee’s chest,” Williams said. “And the man who owns the shop asked, ‘Are you working with Tommy Lee?’ And I said, ‘Well, not exactly, but why do you ask if that’s Tommy Lee?’ [And he said] ‘I know those tattoos!’ It...

Jukin Media is set to launch its first adult-leaning animated series in partnership with musician and influencer Dillon Francis.
The short-form comedy series, titled Couch Kings, will air on Jukin’s FailArmy property, with Francis serving as executive producer. The series will see Dillon and his childhood best friend, Eric Hamilton, chilling on their couch and watching FailArmy vidoes. This, in turn, will spur absurd quests for adventure alongside comedian guest stars like Adam Ray, Amanda McCants, Maddy Whitby, and Trevor Wallace.
The concept for Couch Kings was born of Francis’ music video for "Fix Me" (see below) which was directed by Brandon Dermer (who serves as an EP on the series) in collaboration with Jukin Media and animation studio Bleach Media. A total of four episodes will air across FailArmy’s social accounts, while a 30-minute special airing on its streaming TV channel.

A squire’s job never ends and young Patrick is set to pick up his sword again soon.
Hulu has renewed animated medieval comedy Crossing Swords for season 2, according to Variety. The renewal comes just under a week after the first season consisting of 10 episodes premiered on June 12. The show’s second season will receive a 10-episode order as well. Like most streaming services, Hulu does not make its viewership data publicly available but the company must have found something it liked in Crossing Swords’ numbers. The streamer released a brief teaser to celebrate the show’s renewal.
Crossing Swords comes from John Harvatine IV and Tom Root, who were previously best known for their work on Adult Swim’s Robot Chicken. The adult animated series follows the adventures of young squire Patrick (Nicholas Hoult) as he works under a king no one particularly likes in a kingdom where no one is particularly happy.

Hulu over the past month launched a foray into original adult animation with the premieres of Solar Opposites and Crossing Swords. Both have now been picked up for additional seasons.
Solar Opposites, which had an initial two-season order, has been renewed for a third season; Crossing Swords has been picked up for a second season.
Hulu first dipped its toe into original adults animated content in its early days with the 2013 The Awesomes. Solar Opposites, which launched May 8 as Hulu’s most-watched original comedy premiere to date, and Crossing Swords, which debuted June 12, are the platform’s first original efforts since but Hulu had been building a slate of acquired adult animated series, including Family Guy, Bob’s Burgers, Rick and Morty, Futurama and King of the Hill. The category has been driving engagement and currently holds the highest average re-watch rate on the service, which fueled the original expansion.

Hulu has renewed the adult animated comedies “Solar Opposites” and “Crossing Swords.”
The renewal marks a Season 3 pickup for “Solar Opposites,” which was initially given a two-season order when it was first announced. “Crossing Swords” has been picked up for a second season. Season 1 of “Solar Opposites” debuted on May 8, while “Crossing Swords” debuted on June 12. Season 3 of “Solar Opposites” will consist of 12 episodes while Season 2 of “Crossing Swords” will consist of 10.
The two shows mark some of the only adult animation on Hulu to date, though there are multiple such shows in the works at the streamer. There were previously four Marvel animated shows set up at Hulu, but two of them were scrapped back in January. Both “M.O.D.O.K.” and “Hit Monkey” are still moving forward.
Animation is also one of the few types of production that has been able to weather the production shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

There were previously four Marvel animated shows set up at Hulu, but two of them were scrapped back in January. Both “M.O.D.O.K.” and “Hit Monkey” are still moving forward.
Animation is also one of the few types of production that has been able to weather the production shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Seth Green Talks ‘Crossing Swords’, R-Rated Stop Motion Animation And The Critical Need For Laughter
The new Hulu comedy Crossing Swords isn’t your typical family-friendly stop-motion animation series. In fact, it’s not family-friendly at all — but you would know that already if you have seen anything on Robot Chicken. Created and written by Robot Chicken executive producers John Harvatine IV and Tom Root, Crossing Swords takes us to the time of royals, peasants, knights and mythical — and things get hilariously lewd and quite graphic. If anything, it will make us look at toy peg people in a completely different light. Seth Green, who lends a voice to the series and also serves as Ep was more than excited to reteam with his Robot Chicken cohorts to tell this very fun — and R-rated — story.
“John [Harvatine] and [Tom Root] came up with this concept and all I had to do was say it was awesome and then help get it to air,” Green told Deadline. “I’ve...

No one is going to confuse “Crossing Swords” for being a treasure trove of subtlety. The medieval-set animated series cracks giant dragon eggs, roasts tiny adorable animals, sets up a sex-fueled monarch, establishes another as a sucker for monster track rally-level spectacle, and answers the age-old conundrum: If animated people made from woodblocks don’t have arms, do they still have genitals?
And that’s just the first episode.
The new Hulu comedy is a cavalcade of sight gags and glancing pop culture nods, all set within the confines of this kingdom where members of the royal family and their minions are offered detailed expressive features, while many of the peasant class get simple painted, nondescript faces. The show is a spiritual descendant of “Robot Chicken,” the stop-motion Adult Swim staple where “Crossing Swords” co-creators John Harvatine IV and Tom Root served as executive producers.

Recent shows like Game of Thrones, Miracle Workers, and Disenchantment have done a good job of removing the idealized sheen of our culture’s idea of the Middle Ages. Yes, there were beautiful queens, noble knights, and plenty of chivalry to go around. But there was also war, disease, famine, and more horse poop than you could possibly conceive of. Now Hulu’s Crossing Swords is set to explore the dark side of the medieval world even further.

Adam Ray and Brad Williams are competing on Justine Marino's team on tonight's all-new episode of The Funny Dance Show, and based on this clip alone, they seem to be totally in sync.

Self-expression can take many forms. Dwayne Johnson, for example, was recently confirmed to be working on a TV comedy series inspired by his early life. Gwyneth Paltrow, on the other hand, has just released a candle via her own Goop company that supposedly smells like the Marvel actress’ vagina.
Naturally, news of the latest Goop product spread quickly across social media, and it wasn’t long before The Rock himself decided to get in on the joke. The Hobbs & Shaw star was first brought into the conversation by comedian Adam Ray, who suggested via Instagram that the pro wrestler turned actor should start selling candles that smell like his balls. In the replies to Ray’s post, you’ll find the following response from Johnson:
“Brother I tried to make those candles but I kept burning my balls. So I moved on to shampoo.”

DreamWorks Animation has locked in Oscar winner Geena Davis for a recurring guest role on She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, the GLAAD- and Emmy-nominated Netflix original series that returns August 2 with its Season 3 adventures.
The casting coup was announced by executive producer Noelle Stevenson during a fireside chat with Davis at the Bentonville Film Festival. The announced theme of that stage conversation: a panel discussing representation and inclusion in entertainment titled “She for She: Power of the Pack.”
Davis voices a character named Huntara, the imposing de facto leader of the Crimson Waste, who reluctantly helps Adora, Glimmer and Bow on a quest. Davis may have a special affinity for the sword-and-sandal scene as an elite archer in her personal life. Davis famously took up archery at age 41 and proved to be such a savant that, just two years later, she narrowly missed on her bid to compete on the U.

Adam Ray, the man who voiced Slimer in this summer’s “Ghostbusters” reboot, believes that the hack of Leslie Jones‘ personal website will only “make her stronger.” “This is probably going to give her a strong 20 minutes,” he told TMZ. “It’s not going to knock her down dude, it’s only going to make her stronger.” On Wednesday, the actress’ Tumblr was hacked, with the perpetrator(s) posting personal photos from her iCloud account, which included several nude shots as well as pictures of her passport and driver license. Jones’ phone number and the password to her Twitter account were also purportedly displayed.
