So You Think You Can Dance closed out its 18th season on Monday night (May 20), and it came down to the two contestants who met and fell in love on the show. The three finalists — 18-year-old Dakayla Wilson, 18-year-old Anthony Curley, and 21-year-old Madison Alvarado — came into Monday’s finale looking to impress the judges one last time and take home the $100,000 grand prize. While this season of Sytycd adopted a pre-taped, weekly-industry-challenge format, the finale returned to a more back-to-basics approach, with the three finalists tasked with performing duets to help clinch the win. Each finalist was paired with a previously eliminated Top 10 contestant for the duets, which included Madison teaming with Braylon, Anthony with Mariyah, and Dakayla with Easton. All three finalists were given high praise from judges Allison Holker, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and JoJo Siwa. Holker called Madison “the most consistent dancer” of the season, and Anthony will...

Although the Fox competition has largely traded in its usual format for a pre-taped, weekly-industry-challenge approach — I previously wrote about why that pivot hurt the show more than it helped — Monday’s finale went back to basics, asking finalists Dakayla, Anthony and Madison to perform regular duets that might help them clinch the big win.

Exclusive: BBC News is close to crowning its first royal editor after narrowing the field of candidates down to a final two.
Deadline understands that the prestige on-air role is expected to be offered to either Mark Easton, BBC News’ home editor, or royal correspondent Daniela Relph.
The successful candidate will step into a newly-created role, but effectively replaces Nicholas Witchell, who retired as a BBC royal correspondent after 25 years.
Easton has little experience of covering the royal family, but has been home editor since 2004, overseeing major stories including the Grenfell Tower disaster.
Sources said Easton could bring a “more ballsy” approach to the BBC’s royal output, with the corporation sometimes seen as being cautious in its coverage of the royal family.
Relph has reported on the royals for more than a decade and appeared on the BBC’s News at Six bulletin on the day Kate Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis.

She admitted she already knew what she was having as she and her family had already done an intimate reveal. Now, she is sharing the video from that special moment. Keep reading to see the sweet video of Lala learning what baby number two would be.
Lala Kent Shares Intimate Video Of Gender Reveal
When Lala Kent announced she was pregnant in March 2024, fans had a lot of questions. Not everyone knew that she was doing this on her own.

Additionally, Lala noted that she had no problem getting pregnant with her first child, Ocean, now 3. Therefore, she was not worried about having problems this time around.

Bret Easton Ellis is losing his patience with the current state of film criticism.
In a recent episode of The Brett Easton Ellis Podcast, the “American Psycho” and “Less Than Zero” author sounded off about what he sees as a consensus-based approach that is killing originality among critics. He explained that he no longer relies on critics to determine which movies to see, preferring to read select reviews after he has already watched a movie.
“I read far less reviews than I used to unless I’ve already seen the movie and then, and only then, I’ll scan the top critics on Rotten Tomatoes and read the reviews of the critics that interest me,” Ellis said. “A long time ago, reading reviews of movies that had just opened and that I hadn’t seen, often influenced me on what movies to see first or what movies to ignore, but...
