Between the low-scoring game and the lackluster halftime show (Maroon 5 & Co. earned an average grade of “D+” from TVLine readers), there wasn’t a whole lot of talent on display during Sunday’s Super Bowl. After the game, however…
CBS awarded the highly coveted post-Bowl slot to the premiere of The World’s Best, a James Corden-hosted talent competition with an all-star panel of judges: actress Drew Barrymore, drag icon RuPaul Charles and country singer Faith Hill. That unlikely trio collaborated with 50 talented “experts” from across the globe to determine whether each act was worthy of proceeding to the next round.

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse was my favorite film of 2018 and I’m excited to see franchise grow and see what’s in store for the sequel.
We already know that one major aspect of the story will focus on the relationship of Mile Morales and Spider-Gwen. But like the first film, it’s sure to be filled with all kinds of different characters and plot elements.
There is one Spider-Man character that some fans would love to see introduced in the sequel, and that is Spider-Man’s giant mecha suit Leopardon! Leopardon comes from Japan’s iconic Spider-Man TV series, and it would be so freakin’ cool to see the giant robot in action in the Spider-Verse!
I was hoping to see Leopardon on the big screen in Ready Player One because it was in the book, but that didn’t happen. But now there’s a chance to make...

Steve Miller has led many musical lives. First he was the guitar-wielding Space Cowboy who blew minds with the blues in the psychedelic San Fransisco of the late ’60s. Then he morphed into the laid-back Joker, crackin’ wise amid the slightly more self-serious singer/songwriters of the early ’70s. He graduated to full scale arena rocker in the middle of the decade with amped-up hits like “Rock ‘N Me” and “Take the Money and Run,” and by the ’80s songs like “Abracadabra” made him a video star on a nascent MTV. Now the icon is looking back on his remarkable musical journey with Ultimate Hits,...

Toby Smith, a founding member of '90s band Jamiroquai, died at 46.
The band's lead singer, Jay Kay, wrote on Facebook that Smith fought a "voracious illness with his own indefatigable and stubborn brand of spirit and courage for a very long time."
Watch: MTV Star Clay Adler Dies at 27 From Apparent Suicide
"[Toby] has been a huge part of my life. Without him, there would be no Jamiroquai," Kay continued. "And as I write this, the moon is clear and bright in the sky, and I think of him how it should be, riding his mighty horse across it, leaving a trail of stars behind him.
Jamiroquai's original bassist, Stuart Zender, also remembered his bandmate in an Instagram post. "I love you so much. My big brother Toby crossed over to the other side last night. All my fondest memories are of him and the band that we created," he wrote. "The most talented...

If you live in the United Kingdom, Cowboy Bebop is now available to stream in both Japanese and English. I'm more than a little jealous sitting here in America knowing I can't just stream some Space Cowboy action right now! Then again, I have the entire series on DVD, so I don't know why I'm so upset about it.
Congrats to our UK friends for snagging such an awesome show, and if you haven't watched it before you really need to because it's a classic! Here's hoping that the series appearing just across the pond means it'll be making its journey here soon!

Not every Christmas song can be “All I Want for Christmas Is You” — 20 years later and everyone is still playing it. All of the time. For every Mariah Carey, there are 15 other pop stars whose Christmas songs didn't quite stick. These are those 15 pop stars:
1. Britney Spears - “My Only Wish (This Year)”
This one actually is considered a classic — to a certain subset of die-hard Britney Spears fans. Choice Lyric: “Can't be alone under the mistletoe/ He's all want and a big red bow / Santa, can you hear me?”
2. Backstreet Boys - “It’s Christmas Time Again”
Sixteen years after Bsb released “Christmas Time,” they tried again for a hit with sequel “It’s Christmas Time Again.” Naturally. Choice Lyric: “When the snow is falling down, down, down / You know that Santa's back in town, town, town.”
3. *Nsync - “I Don't Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You”
