Jimmy Kimmel’s monologues are famously witty and lighthearted, but he choked up when discussing Cecil the Lion.

In case you don’t pay too much attention to American politics, oddball multi-millionaire Donald Trump seems poised to win the Republican Party’s nomination for Presidential candidacy.

Ed Sheeran is giving acting a shot in FX’s new period drama The Bastard Executioner, a medieval series that is rumoured to be pretty damn gruesome. To be honest, if the show is half as good as its name, then we’re going to be big fans. The drama follows a 14th century warrior as his life […]
