I Have a Major Theory About 'And Just Like That' Season 3—and OG 'Sex and the City' Fans Are Gonna Love itNew Foto - I Have a Major Theory About 'And Just Like That' Season 3—and OG 'Sex and the City' Fans Are Gonna Love it

In one of the fastest new season turnarounds in recent memory,And Just Like That…is back with season three—and things are off toa slow but totally solid start. The first episode ofAnd Just Like Thatseason threeis alreadystreaming on Max(Or HBO? Or HBO Max? I dunno,ask Jean Smart). So far, Carrie is doing long-distance with Aidan, Miranda is sleeping with a very familiar looking nun, LTW has a Michelle Obama quandary,Seemais serving up a Hollywood movie ending on a dilapidated pier and Charlotte…well, she has another dog plotline. But what will happen next?! After watching the first episode of the new season, I have a prediction—and I think fans of the originalSex and the Citywill like my theory. Craig Blankenhorn/Max As the credits rolled (and Carriedidn'thave a voiceover saying, "And just like that…"—more on this in a minute), I couldn't help but wonder, are we finally getting back to the show's roots? My theory: This season will be the closest one yet to the OGSex and the City. I have a few reasons to think this. First of all, the new characters are much more solidified now. We know them. We love them. We aren't confused as to why Carrie is spending so much time with her realtor anymore. In a great way, for the first time, we aren't introducing major new characters. Like with the original series, the new faces we meet (like Rosie) are clearly guest stars who will provide minor storylines at best. And while the new season three gang stands at five members instead of the original four, this feels much more manageable—and much more likeSATC—without usalsohaving to follow Che and Nya (and too much of Anthony's plotline) as well. This, plus the absence of any life-altering events like a spouse's death, makes the whole thing feel much more episodic, likeSATC. Craig Blankenhorn/Max And finally, the end of the episode seems to hint that we're getting back to our roots in a big (but not Big) way—albeit with a twist. No more podcast. No more trying to force Carrie into some career she was never intended for. Carrie sits down at her laptop and begins to type, complete withSex and the City-esque voiceover.And, we ditch Carrie saying, "And just like that…" as her final line (although she does slip it into dialogue in the middle of a convo with Anthony earlier—TBD ifthatbecomes a thing this season). Seeing Carrie back at her laptop, after an episode free of deaths or wild twists or new characters or too many characters is refreshing. It takes me back to why I fell in love with the series and the characters in the first place. The one big twist with the laptop though? Carrie doesn't write in the first person. Her text (and voiceover) says, "The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into." The woman?! At least this is a Peloton-free twist I can get on board with. Here's to more ofAnd Just Like Thatfeeling likeSex and the City!New episodes air Thursdays on Max. 16 Shows and Movies to Watch This Weekend, Recommended by Our Editors

Megyn Kelly slams Beyoncé for including footage of her in "Cowboy Carter" tour visuals: 'She could play the victim'

Ivan Apfel/Getty; Alex Slitz/Getty Megyn Kellyis having a meltdown over her unexpected inclusion inBeyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour. The political commentator responded to the Grammy-winning artist splicing footage of one of her on-air interviews into the visuals for the musician's ongoing tour, which blurred Kelly's face and also featured the brief inclusion of other media clips containing commentary about her foray into the country genre. Though Kelly's face is not explicitly recognizable, the former Fox News host slammed the inclusion onThursday's episode of her eponymous SiriusXMshow. "It recently came to my attention that Beyoncé', who's on some world tour right now reinventing herself as a country star, is running videotape during the show of yours truly," Kelly began. The clip in question, Kelly clarified, hailed from her conversation withSky News Australialast year, in which she mocked the country album and the way it had been marketed as if Beyoncé were "Jesus incarnated" and "here to rescue country music." "She is considered untouchable," Kelly continued. "You're not allowed to rip on her, by the way. You're not allowed to rip on Michelle Obama, either, but we do. Too bad. The more untouchable you tell me somebody is, the more likely I am to want to hit them." She lamented that the music superstar "had to scour the internet to find anybody who offered any criticism of this move [into country] whatsoever," adding, "Here is another one of the most privileged, beloved women in the world, and richest based on her own fortune ... but still has to look for the one sliver where she could play the victim and be aggrieved because big bad Megyn Kelly said something completely milquetoast about her entry into country music." Brooke Sutton/Getty Kelly then compared the inclusion to her previous spat withGeorge Clooney, who caused great offense when hequestioned her career as a journalist last month. Speaking with fellow Broadway starPatti LuPone, Clooney — currently portraying broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow inGood Night, and Good Luck— said at the time,  "I'm not quite sure what she has done to be a journalist." "He's George f---ing Clooney. She's Beyoncé, but they can't take the mildest criticism," Kelly griped. Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to Beyoncé's rep for comment. The Cowboy Carter tour kicked off in Los Angeles on April 28 and is set to conclude in Las Vegas on July 26. The music icon recently won the 2025 Grammy for Best Country Album, becoming the first Black woman to do so. She has spoken candidly aboutnot feeling welcome within the country genredespite her Texan roots. Read the original article onEntertainment Weekly

Army estimates Trump's military parade could cost $16 million in damage to D.C.New Foto - Army estimates Trump's military parade could cost $16 million in damage to D.C.

The cost to repair Washington, D.C., streets after the upcoming military parade celebrating the Army's 250th anniversary could cost as much as $16 million, according to U.S. military officials. That's part of an estimated $45 million total cost forthe June 14 military parade, which coincides with President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. The cost estimates have fluctuated as planning continues. In an interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press" earlier this month, the presidentdefended the cost of the parade, calling it "peanuts compared to the value of doing it." "We have the greatest missiles in the world. We have the greatest submarines in the world. We have the greatest army tanks in the world. We have the greatest weapons in the world. And we're going to celebrate it," Trump added. The parade will be part of a massive celebration in downtown Washington that includes a number of events, historical displays and a demonstration by the Army's famous parachute team, the Golden Knights. The parade itself will include about 130 vehicles, including 28 M1A1 tanks, 28 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, 28 Stryker armored fighting vehicles and a number of vehicles towing artillery launchers. More than 50 helicopters will also participate in an "extensive flyover" in the nation's capital. The event will also bring more than 9,000 soldiers from around the country to Washington, about 7,000 of whom will march in the parade itself. The event will also include at least eight Army bands, and some troops will ride on the nearly three dozen horses and two mules expected to march as part of a historical section of the parade. The soldiers visiting Washington for the parade will be housed in government buildings, including the Department of Agriculture building and a General Services Administration building. A few thousand others will bunk at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. The troops are expected to eat military rations called meals ready to eat, or MREs, during their stay. Trump had long wanted a military parade during his first term. But it was canceled over concerns about cost and the optics of a military parade in the nation's capital that could be seen as akin to the kind commonly seen in Moscow, Beijing or Pyongyang, North Korea. The inclusion of tanks in a potential parade also drew concerns about what their tracks might do to the streets of Washington. The Army is preparing for the potential harm to Washington streets with several measures it hopes will avert damage. These include using 1-inch-thick steel plates, some as long as 20 feet, at places along the parade route where the tanks must turn and where those turns could cause the most damage to the streets. The addition of the steel plates is expected to cost the Army about $3 million, officials said. The tanks are also being outfitted with new track pads to create separation between the metal track and the ground, the officials said. Army officials said they believe these measures will keep the damage to a minimum and bring the cost of repairing any damage down significantly. "We are targeting those areas that we have concerns, which primarily are areas where the tracked vehicles are going to have to turn sharply," said Col. Jesse Curry, the executive officer for the Army Corps of Engineers. "We are not particularly concerned that this staging area and the routes have been selected to really minimize the risk from weight and damage. But really, those areas where tanks have to turn, particularly the areas where the surface of the pavement, we typically receive an exaggerated level of stress." The parade route itself will follow Constitution Avenue along the National Mall from 23rd Street to around 15th Street. The roughly 50 aircraft will include Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters, including several special operations variants. Also planned to fly are several historic aircraft, including World War II-era B-25s, P-51s and Vietnam-era helicopters. The parade is expected to last roughly 90 minutes and will be broken into eras: the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the Global War on Terror, the modern Army and the future. The Army's Golden Knights will jump during the presentation about the Army's future and plan to deliver an American flag to Trump. In the early-May "Meet the Press" interview, Trump defended himself against claims that the military parade was for his birthday, reiterating that the Army's 250th birthday and Flag Day are also on June 14. "My birthday happens to be on Flag Day," he said. "I view it for Flag Day, not necessarily my birthday. Somebody put it together. But no, I think we're going to do something on June 14, maybe, or somewhere around there. But I think June 14. It's a very important day."
