South African Civil Rights Icon Desmond Tutu Has Died at Age 90

Image
South African civil rights icon Desmond Tutu has died at age 90, according to the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation confirming the news on Dec. 26. "Tutu was a living embodiment of faith in action, speaking boldly against racism, injustice, corruption, and oppression, not just in apartheid South Africa but wherever in the world he saw wrongdoing, especially when it impacted the most vulnerable and voiceless in society," the statement read in part. "While Tutu was first and always an Anglican priest who made no secret of his deep dependence on the inner life of disciplined prayer, his faith burst the confines of denomination and religion, joyfully embracing all who shared his passion for justice and love. People of all faiths and no faith together christened him fondly as simply 'The Arch.'" Tutu spent a lifetime fighting against apartheid, South Africa's official system of racial segregation that lasted from 1948 until 1990. The beloved activist

The Princess Diaries Meets Cinderella in Netflix's The Royal Treatment Trailer

Image
There's no such thing as too many princess films , so let's thank Netflix for blessing us with another rom-com to swoon over ! The streamer released the trailer for The Royal Treatment , a feature film that follows the love story between hairstylist Isabella ( Laura Marano ) and Prince Thomas ( Mena Massoud ) on Dec. 22. In the clip, Isabella and her crew of stylists get the opportunity of a lifetime to do hair for the royal wedding . While the young salon owner doesn't anticipate falling for the prince and complicating his already-arranged marriage, it is a cheesy rom-com, after all. Both the prince and his possible princess will have to face what it means to take control of their own destiny and follow their hearts. The Royal Treatment arrives on Netflix on Jan. 20. Watch the trailer above. from POPSUGAR Celebrity https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/the-royal-treatment-trailer-video-48660887

What's Kingpin's Fate on Hawkeye? After the Finale, Here's What We Think

Image
The season finale of Hawkeye features plenty of major twists and takedowns, and one of the biggest confrontations involves the show's most shadowy villain: Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin . After his protégé, Maya Lopez (aka Echo) , discovers that her "uncle" is actually the one responsible for her father's death, she tracks him down and confronts him, and a gun fires. But is Kingpin really dead? We're not so sure. The rule that every TV and movie viewer knows is that if you don't see the body, don't believe they're dead. After surviving a lot (including attacks from Kate's arrows and literally being hit by a car), it seems like Kingpin has finally run out of luck when Maya arrives, now armed with the knowledge that he put the hit on her father. He begs for his life and insists that they're "family," and that's when Maya fires her gun. We very specifically do not actually see the shot, nor do we see Kingpin's body at any point.
