Trixie Mattel Picks Up Elvira’s Mantle as TV Abandons Halloween (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Remember when October meant Halloween episodes of your favorite sitcoms? When Elvira popped up hosting every spooky special on TV? When artists actually put out Halloween music? These days you'd be hard pressed to find any of it, and you can largely thank the slow death of network TV. But fear not. (Actually, in the spirit of the season, be very afraid.)

Sharon Stone and Jennifer Hudson Owned Variety's Power of Women Night (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Covering entertainment means that on any given weeknight, you might end up in a room with some of the most powerful women in Hollywood. That was the scene Wednesday night at Variety's annual Power of Women event in Beverly Hills, which honored Sharon Stone, Melissa McCarthy and Jennifer Hudson, among others. Picture this. You're in a ballroom at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel, seated at a table with the evening's host, comedian Iliza Shlesinger. Stone is sitting right behind you. Then someone
