The Glee Reboot Better Not Kill Off Santana
For some people, Glee was just a silly show about singing high schoolers, campy performances, and the most ridiculous storylines you could imagine. But beneath its zany exterior, it was also an important pillar of representation for queer kids growing up in the early 2000s. Kurt and Blaine were one of the first openly gay teen couples on mainstream TV, and Santana’s friends-to-lovers arc with Brittany broke barriers for lesbian visibility.
I'm Worried About The Glee Reboot
When Glee was hitting the right notes, it was glorious — and honestly, it was also a ton of fun when it devolved into a discordant mess. I may have fallen off Ryan Murphy’s musical soap opera toward the end (I gave the NYC years my best effort, I promise!), but I still consider myself a Gleek because I cherish those delightfully unhinged first several seasons. So, you’d think I’d be thrilled to hear that Hulu and Disney+ have officially picked up a Glee revival series.

Summer H. Howell Defends The Controversial Carrie Finale
There’s no right way to stage a telekinetic prom massacre, and the newest adaptation of Carrie certainly pushes the limits with unexpected additions to Stephen King’s iconic horror story. This time around, emerging scream queen Summer H. Howell wears the pig-blood-stained tiara, but surprisingly, her version of Carrie White has a very different prom experience than the Carries before her.
Antonio Cipriano Says He’s “Ready” To Lead Off Campus Season 3
Antonio Cipriano can already feel the difference on the Off Campus set after the hockey romance’s first season became a viral obsession.

Dakota Johnson Is The Only Celebrity Who's Dating Right

Taylor Swift's Friends Keep Repeating 1 Phrase, Sparking A Big Theory
Taylor Swift knows a thing or two about friendship. The superstar’s close-knit “squad” of supermodels and artists basically defined group chat goals in the mid-2010s, and although her circle has changed a lot in recent years, she seems to be entering a new era of putting her closest confidantes on a pedestal. It started with box-seat hangs at Chiefs games, then an increase in lyrics supposedly about her besties, and most recently the friend-filled “Patient Zero” video.

At the time, shows like Supernatural, Sherlock, and even pairings within the Star Wars and Marvel universes were widely categorized offenders.
