This one is for the true Lanthimites, the Dogtooth sisters, the biscuit women, The Killing of a Sacred Deer heads, a film to which the callbacks are so abundant that one can’t help but wonder what the connection is for writer-director Yorgos Lanthimos and co-screenwriter Efthimis Filippou behind the scenes, outside of simply sharing tones and themes that all of their other films share. Regardless, the director as we knew him pre-Emma Stone is back (relatively speaking). And this time… with Emma Stone!
In his eighth feature, old and new Lanthimos merge, the former reflected in story scope, unreal realism, and bone-dry Greek comedy, all wrapped up in the much-felt return of Filippou, with whom he last wrote Sacred Deer just before he launched into the Hollywood stratosphere with Tony McNamara and The Favourite, the dawn of his Emma Stone collaboration-turned-creative-partnership. And the latter is reflected in, well,...

Contrary to popular myth, Mama Cass Elliot did not die from choking on a ham sandwich, her daughter is keen for people to know.
On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the death of the songstress with the Mamas and the Papas, Elliot’s daughter Owen Elliot-Kugell has told the BBC, “There was a ham sandwich, but she didn’t eat it and she didn’t choke on it. So enough with the jokes.”
Mama Cass died aged 32 in the London flat of fellow singer Harry Nilsson in 1974, after she had finished a two-week run of performances at the London Palladium. The autopsy confirmed her case of death as a heart attack.
At the time, and in many cultural references since, it was reported that she had choked to death on a ham sandwich, which was found by her bedside.

Unless your head is perpetually stuck between two pieces of bread, then you know how successful Gordon Ramsay is at creating cooking entertainment.
Whether it's the fierce team competition of Hell's Kitchen, the frightening details from restaurants across America on Kitchen Nightmares, or the three-level cooking adventure that is Next Level Chef, he's got a nose for transforming culinary delights into must-see TV.
But even if you are one of those folks who never escapes their own doughy existence outside the entertainment realm, you probably know about the Idiot Sandwich meme.
Although the meme has taken off like wildfire over the years, most people are unaware of its genesis. As it turns out, it was not Gordon Ramsay and a real contestant on one of his shows.
Who knew? Well, we did.

Guy Fieri has signed a new three-year deal with Food Network, which sources tell Variety is valued at more than $100 million.
This fresh pact means that Fieri retains his title as the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable channel’s highest-paid talent and bests his most recent multiyear deal, which closed in 2021 for $80 million.
Food Network and Warner Bros. Discovery declined to comment on the financial figures.
Under the new agreement, which will take Fieri to the 20-year mark with Food Network, the Mayor of Flavortown will continue to produce more of his Emmy-nominated “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” as well as more episodes of “Guy’s Grocery Games” and “Tournament of Champions.”
Fieri will also keep developing and producing projects with Food Network through his Knuckle Sandwich production banner.
“Recognized everywhere he goes, there is only one Guy Fieri,” Warner Bros. Discovery head of food content Betsy Ayala said. “Guy’s love of food,...

Gordon Ramsay is finally cashing in on his iconic “Idiot Sandwich” meme by turning the skit into a show. In an exclusive from People, the Kitchen Nightmares chef revealed the upcoming Fox series is scheduled to begin filming in November in Las Vegas. The name originates from a highly memorable and internet-famous incident involving Ramsay, where he sandwiched Julie Chen Moonves‘ face between two slices of bread. “What are you?” he shouts. “An idiot sandwich!” she wearily replies. It’s a classic. Boasting 13 million YouTube views, many fans have interpreted the encounter as authentic. However, Ramsay clarifies that it actually stems from a 2015 parody sketch featured on The Late Late Show with James Corden. For over ten years, Ramsay says the meme has “gone ballistic.” Ramsay explained more about the series on Instagram Live, sharing that people who want to be on the show must sign an application form. “Are you an Idiot Sandwich?...
