Prince William and Kate Middleton Have a Field Day Playing Hockey in Sweden

Prince William and Kate Middleton have officially kicked off their royal tour in Sweden and Norway, with a spot of hockey. The couple showed off their athletic side and got stuck into a game of Bandy hockey, which is similar to ice hockey. Judging from the pictures, they had a blast doing so. The Duke and Duchess wore matching bobble hats while playing the sport, and now we need to coordinate matching hats with our significant other.

The royal couple will be visiting Sweden for two days, before heading to Norway for another two days. In a statement, they said that they hope to "meet as many Swedes and Norwegians as possible" on their trip. Kate and William's packed morning of hockey will be followed by lunch at Royal Palace of Stockholm hosted by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, to officially welcome them to Sweden. They will end their day at a black-tie dinner at the Residence of the British Ambassador.

Sam Smith and Brandon Flynn Could Melt Snow With Their Steamy PDA

A Live-Action Anastasia Movie Is in the Works, but There's a Really Unexpected Twist

Following the ongoing trend in the movie and television industry, the story of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna is getting reimagined in a new live-action movie, Variety reports. The upcoming movie is not, however, affiliated with 21st Century Fox's 1997 animated movie Anastasia. Instead, it will portray an entirely new and fantastical story in which Anastasia discovers a portal that leads to the year 1988.

Emily Carey has already been announced as the movie's titular character. The 14-year-old actress previously portrayed a young Diana Prince in Wonder Woman, so she clearly has the chops to play another smart, scrappy young heroine. Joining her is Brandon Routh of Legends of Tomorrow fame, who is on board as Anastasia's father, Czar Nicholas II.

Production reportedly already began last Summer on the scenes set in 1988 and shooting is set to continue in April on the 1917 scenes. The director, Blake Harris, previously adapted The Little Mermaid based on the original Hans Christian Andersen novel of the same name. Though this movie is already underway, it's certainly not out of the question for Disney - who recently purchased 21st Century Fox - to create a live-action version of its animated classic sometime in the future.

How the Grammys Failed Women and the #MeToo Movement This Year

Image Source: Getty / Christopher Polk

Everywhere you looked at the Grammys on Sunday night, there were white roses. Artists, both male and female, proudly wore the flower on the red carpet to show support for the Time's Up movement, which was created ahead of the Golden Globes in an effort to combat workplace sexual harassment and assault across industries for women. As nice as it was to see musicians, actors, and even Grammys host himself James Corden incorporating white roses into their ensembles, the gesture felt hollow by the end of the night. All the flowers in the world don't mean anything if the music industry isn't actually honoring women for their hard work and talent, or at the very least, speaking out about #MeToo and the tidal wave of sexual assault and harassment claims that have dominated the national conversation over the past few months.

As the three-and-a-half-hour award show wore on, it soon became glaringly clear that, while there were an incredible selection of female performers and presenters on hand, very few women were actually stepping onstage to accept any awards. In fact, best new artist winner Alessia Cara was the only female musician to win a major Grammy. The dissonance was so jarring that it even spurred the hashtag #GrammysSoMale on Twitter. With so many immensely talented women in the music industry right now - many of whom were nominated - how did this happen?

If you ask Recording Academy president Neil Portnow, who obviously subscribes to the Bono school of musical thought, it's because they need to try harder. When questioned about the disproportionate amount of male to female winners by Variety after the Grammys, Portnow had this to say:

"It has to begin with . . . women who have the creativity in their hearts and souls, who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level. [They need] to step up because I think they would be welcome. I don't have personal experience of those kinds of brick walls that you face but I think it's upon us - us as an industry - to make the welcome mat very obvious, breeding opportunities for all people who want to be creative and paying it forward and creating that next generation of artists."

They need to "step up"? Really? To act as though the quality of albums that came out last year aren't on par with Grammys standards is to be willfully obtuse. I can only assume Portnow hasn't heard a single track off of Lady Gaga's Joanne, or a single second of Kesha's Rainbow. Or how about Kelly Clarkson's Meaning of Life? And Pink's Beautiful Trauma? All four of the aforementioned women were nominated for best pop performance for singles from those albums, but lost to Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You." Is "Shape of You" a good, catchy song? Yes. Is it deserving of an award? Sure, why not. Is it deserving of this award? Not in the slightest.

I can only assume Portnow hasn't heard a single track off of Lady Gaga's Joanne, or a single second of Kesha's Rainbow.

The Grammys paraded people up and down their red carpet with white roses pinned to their lapels, but neglected to bring up #MeToo during the telecast, with the exception of Janelle Monáe, whose passionate introduction of Kesha's performance touched on "pay inequality, discrimination, harassment of any kind, and the abuse of power." Awarding Kesha with a Grammy for "Praying," which is about forgiving her rapist and surviving a waking nightmare, would have been the perfect opportunity to actually make those roses mean something. Not only that, but "Praying" is vocally stunning and Kesha's best work to date. In a similar vein, Gaga's "Million Reasons" is about recovering from devastating, life-altering heartbreak. Clarkson's "Love So Soft" is a soulful single from the first album she was able to make free from Clive Davis's control. Pink's "What About Us" is one of her most brutally honest tracks so far, complete with awe-inspiring vocals.

Sheeran's song is about the body of an anonymous woman in a club.

Best pop vocal performance wasn't the only major slip-up the Grammys made. Where was Lorde's solo performance? As the only female album of the year nominee, it was shocking to see her get zero stage time despite attending the show. A great deal of time was allotted for both U2 and Sting's solo performances, even though neither were nominated. Yes, Sting and U2 remain strong performers and fan favorites, but wouldn't those precious minutes have been better spent honoring one of the few women whose work got a high-profile Grammy nod this year? When asked about the decision to not to give Lorde a moment onstage by Variety, Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich deflected.

"I don't know if it was a mistake," he said. "These shows are a matter of choices. We have a box and it gets full. She had a great album. There's no way we can really deal with everybody." He also noted that things might change next year when Taylor Swift's Reputation becomes eligible for nomination, saying, "It wasn't her year. She was kind of off cycle. Hopefully we'll see her next year."

That's all well and good, but the Grammys don't need Taylor Swift in the building in order to give out a trophy to a female artist. Reputation is arguably the weakest of Swift's discography, paling in comparison to the emotional depth of Kesha's Rainbow and the lyrical ingenuity of Lorde's Melodrama. The fact those two albums barely made an impact on the Recording Academy this year is a tragedy, one that can't be fixed by flowers or pins.

Angelina Jolie and Her Kids Get Cultured During a Family Museum Day in Paris

Angelina Jolie brought her six kids - Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox Jolie-Pitt - to the Louvre for an afternoon of culture in Paris on Tuesday. The First They Killed My Father director bundled up in a sleek black coat and heels as she and her brood left the Hotel de Maurice before making their way to the historic museum. Before touching down in the City of Light, Angelina traveled to Zaatari, Jordan, to visit a Syrian refugee camp. While there, she held a press conference and called for a political solution to Syria's civil war, saying that "humanitarian aid is not a long-term solution."

Between her philanthropic efforts, Angelina has also made time to hit a few red carpets and has been bringing her kids along for the fun. Earlier this month, 14-year-old Pax was her date to the Golden Globes, where Angelina avoided a potentially awkward run-in with Jennifer Aniston. Angelina also brought daughters Shiloh and Zahara to the National Board of Review Awards gala, where they matched in all-black outfits.

Given that Kiernan has been in the industry for quite a few years now and has two SAG Awards under her belt, it's easy to forget how old she is - or, in this case, how young she is. So, let's settle this once and for all: Kiernan was born on Nov. 10, 1999, making her 18. We can't wait to see what she has in store for us as Sabrina!

Pink Gets a Kiss From Her Daughter in Powerful "Wild Hearts" Music Video

Fresh off of her stunning, stripped-down performance of "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken" at the Grammys, Pink debuted a similarly simple music video accompaniment for the ballad. The video was shot in black and white and features the singer dressed in a white tank top and jeans as she belts out the song's powerful lyrics: "There's not enough rope to tie me down, there's not enough tape to shut this mouth / The stones you throw can make me bleed, but I won't stop until we're free / Wild hearts can't be broken."

Of course, her impressive vocals aren't the only amazing thing about the video. Around the 1:25 mark, Pink's daughter, 6-year-old Willow, pops up in a surprise appearance. Willow snuggles up to her mom, and at the end of the video, she plants a sweet kiss on her cheek. The singer also used the video as a way to raise awareness for her work with UNICEF, which she hopes will save and protect children around the world.

"As a UNICEF Ambassador, I am proud to work with an organization that supports and empowers women and children around the world," she said in a press release. "In honor of this incredible organization, in honor of this video for 'Wild Hearts,' and in honor of girls and woman all over the world standing up for themselves, I am going to be making a donation in all of your names to this wonderful organization, and I encourage you to do the same if the spirit moves you."

16 Things We Know About The Handmaid's Tale Season 2

We're officially in some new fresh hell in 2018, and when it comes to The Handmaid's Tale, we're already looking ahead. If you read the book, you'll know that the first season finale ends in the same frustrating way the book ends: June is taken into a mysterious van and carted off to a mysterious future somewhere else. In this case, though, we don't have to wonder endlessly. How much can we uncover about the show's next chapter? Well, blessed be the fruit - we've got a lot to go over. Let's see what we could uncover (under his eye).

1. It's Going to Be Longer

While the first season was 10 episodes, the second has been extended to 13.

2. Alexis Bledel Will Reprise Her Role

Thought you'd seen the last of Ofglen/Emily? Not so fast. Bledel has been confirmed as part of season two's cast! We'll get a glimpse of Ofglen in the Colonies, the toxic wasteland where women who commit crimes are sent as punishment. "We get to see the colonies. It's a terrible place where they send Unwomen to work them to death," executive producer Bruce Miller said during a pre-Emmy panel in August. Bledel also commented on her character's new situation, saying, "I'm very interested to see what that looks like because it's a completely different world we haven't seen on the show yet - and I'm scared."

3. The Colonies Are Even Bleaker and Darker Than They Sound

A new feature by Marie Claire describes the Colonies in all their grim glory. As a refresher, the Colonies are where deviants (known as Unwomen) get sent for misbehaving. The new story describes the Colonies as "a dark and grime-filled wasteland." Costume designer Ane Crabtree offered a bit more insight. "The Unwomen are kind of the new Handmaids in season two. They're turning over soil, trying to move radiation, so they get filthy," she revealed. "They have probably six months - at best two years - to live. We're trying to show that humanity in their costumes. I made beautiful sheer pieces to be worn under their outfits since they strip down, as their clothing is full of radiation." Yikes.

4. The Trailer Is DARK

Here, we get a glimpse of all the mayhem that lies ahead. Offred is covered in blood and lighting things on fire! The Colonies are here, and they look f*cking awful! Tension is surely bubbling over, and we can't imagine what else this next bank of episodes might hold.

5. Surprise, Surprise: The President Has Inspired Parts of the Season

While season one of the show was planned before the 2016 election, the same is not true for season two. When it comes to some of Trump's "draconian policies," as Marie Claire phrases it, creator Bruce Miller can't help but incorporate today's reality into the fabric of the show. "Oh, I think we can't help but let it influence us," he said. "We have let it influence us. And there are a lot of issues we brought up last year that we want to address this year in ways we never had time to."

6. Things Are Only Going to Get Worse All Around

Earlier this month, The Pool interviewed Elisabeth Moss and grilled her on what's to come. "Wait till you see what's coming! It's going to get worse, girl. Season two is going to be bad too, really dark." Here we were, thinking June might have been rescued from the Waterfords. Maybe it's not that simple.

7. June Is Covered in Blood in a First Photo

You might remember how ruthlessly June is whisked away at the end of season one. We have no idea who takes her or where she even ends up. But if the first pictures of the season are any indication, she is certainly not safe. We're rooting for you, June!

8. June's Romance With Nick May Intensify

Elle ran a profile of Moss in early June, and she dropped a small tidbit about her Gilead lover, Nick. "It's part of the reason that I'm really excited about a season two, she's in this position where she might be in love with two people," Moss said, "Honestly, I think she does love Nick - if I can speak for her - but I don't know if she knows that she does yet. But she has a husband who she also loves, who's the father of Hannah, who she also now knows is alive."

9. Pay Attention to the Marthas

Showrunner Bruce Miller noted, "The Marthas in general in Gilead are kind of invisible . . . it's been great for us that it's been such a slow and careful building of a relationship between Rita and Offred. That slow and careful build-up in season one leads to a payoff so that we can use her more in season two."

10. We Might See Aunt Lydia's Backstory

Meanwhile, Miller also spoke to The New York Times about season two. Aunt Lydia could still play a key role in the show's next chapter. "Aunt Lydia is one of my most fascinating characters," Miller said. "We would like to explore her back story, and what the lives of the aunts are like."

11. The Mayday Resistance Is Another Key Component, but Let's Not Get Too Excited

It's easy to assume Mayday means salvation for the Handmaids, but not so fast. "The Mayday resistance is going to be a big part of Season two," Miller admitted. "The part that I've been thinking about is that Mayday is not the handmaid rescue organization - it's the anti-Gilead organization. And the anti-Gilead organization is not necessarily a friend to June or a friend to Handmaids. If I was going to try to hurt Gilead, the first thing I might do is kill all the handmaids. You're trying to weaken the state."

12. The Waterfords Aren't Necessarily Going Away

After the finale, Miller talked about what's to come. In regards to the Waterfords, he said, "They're still a part of our plans for season two but in interesting ways."

13. We Will Meet June's Mother

Miller also explained how June's parentage could factor into the story. Miller spoke about June's mother: "We've been thinking about her a lot. June's mother is a big character in the book and representative of an interesting kind of feminism that was seemingly more of that time."

14. The Theme

"At the end of season one, we find out June was pregnant. The theme of season two is motherhood and what it means to be a mother," Miller explained at The Handmaid's Tale panel in August. "It's the way we mother our good friends and the people in our lives."

15. Luke and Moira Might Attempt a Daring Rescue

During the panel in August, Samira Wiley discussed the new possibilities season two holds since it's going beyond the story of the book. "The [first] season ends exactly where the book ends, and to be able to go in season two not knowing what's going to happen and to be in this completely new country with Luke who's the only family I have, it's exciting to see what's going to happen," she said.

16. The Premiere Date Has Been Set

The second season is going to drop on April 25. Are you ready for it?

While actress Holly Marie Combs (who played Piper Halliwell) was one of the first to voice her disdain for the upcoming series, Shannen Doherty (who played Prue Halliwell from season one to three) is taking a different approach. During various tweets with fans online, the actress explained that she's still on the fence about the hit 1998 show getting redone. "I'm intrigued by the idea that a new generation might be comforted, inspired like all you were," she explained. "Charmed helped us all in some way." Not to mention, the show will create even "more great roles for women," which Doherty adds is a "huge plus."

Exactly. More great roles for women. That's a huge plus.

However, there is one aspect of the reboot that is rubbing Doherty the wrong way: the show's official description. The network is marketing the series as a "feminist reboot," which one fan suggested is "belittling everything that Charmed brought to the table." "Yep. You nailed it," Doherty replied. "Their wording is terrible and a bit offensive. But, everyone makes mistakes. Perhaps with the backlash they will be more thoughtful in future." Even though she wants the legacy of Charmed "to be respected," she's choosing to keep an open mind. "I'm simply choosing to be constructive about it because negativity has no place in my life," she added. That being said, we wonder if there's any possibility that her character Prue will make a cameo.

Thank you. I love charmed. I also want it to be respected. I'm simply choosing to be constructive about it because negativity has no place in my life.

5 Ways the "Future" Could Factor Into American Horror Story Season 8

Surprise, surprise: American Horror Story: Cult ended months ago, and we only have mere crumbs of information about the show's eighth installment. As AHS fans, we all know the drill. It could be quite a while before we get any exciting information about the next chapter. Or, you know, we could learn every minute detail tomorrow. But we're not ones to sit on our hands and see how the dice fall. So far, we have one major hint about the setting: we're heading to the future. Later, he revealed that we're not going too far ahead, more like 10 or 20 years. "The near-distant future. It's a projection story," he said. Frankly, that's all we need to run full speed ahead. Here are our best theories, keeping that time jump in mind.

1. A Bleak Focus on Advanced Technology

It's nearly impossible to hear the word "future" without thinking about technology. As we've learned with Black Mirror, there are myriad ways to present technology through the horror lens. There's technology that turns against you, technology that violates human rights, technology that causes unthinkable torture, technology that hunts you or traps you . . . the list goes on and on.

While it does seem like the Netflix show has tapped into just about every tech nightmare under the sun, I have faith that Ryan Murphy could still imbue the subject his own unique, f*cked up vision. And the whole "near future" thing works just fine. After all, some episodes of Black Mirror feel like they could easily take place in the next five or so years.

2. A Menacing Dystopia

We've seen it time and time again, especially in young adult literature: stories that fling us far, far into the future to show what happens after modern society implodes. In many cases, we see a new, ominous civilization that has risen from the ashes. In The Hunger Games, it's Panem. In Divergent, it's the ruins of Chicago. The list goes on.

While American Horror Story's new season purportedly takes place in the "near" future, this could still be a possibility. I mean, if a nuclear apocalypse were to theoretically happen in the fictional 2018 universe of AHS, we could see a dystopian narrative set in 2019. Or 2020. Or 2021. Don't rule it out!

3. A Reckoning With an "Old World" Evil

One of the most fascinating things in horror is watching some kind of ancient entity wreak havoc in modern times. The Exorcist foists a biblical demon on a young girl in the 20th century. In The Conjuring, an old colonial witch terrorizes a family in '70s suburbia. There's something fascinating about that combination: people of a present era trying to figure out something that precedes our societal knowledge. So many stories of ghosts, ghouls, curses, possessions, and other mythological creatures use this model.

As Ryan Murphy moves into the future, he has a perfect opportunity to dig even farther into the past. I could see this going a lot of ways: our only experience with possession was a season two subplot, so that could be fun. Maybe we can venture into some ancient ruins, because that's always a good scare. Or, you know, Ryan Murphy comes up with all kinds of f*cked up creatures. Let's get some more!

4. A Return to More Focused Storytelling

If we're only going to the near future, maybe we're thinking too big. Forget the dystopias. Forget the nuclear apocalypse. Maybe we need to focus. After all, this isn't a horror story about the world or society at large. This is a horror story set in America. While Cult is a bit more large-scale when it comes to point of view, the other seasons have been much more intimate: a haunted house, an asylum, a school for witches, a circus of freaks, a hotel, a long-dead colony . . . perhaps Ryan Murphy is shooting for simplicity.

If this is the case, we might look toward a recent clue: one episode of Cult seemed to focus rather intently on Butte, Montana. If AHS returns to true, small-town horror, I'd be 100% here for it.

5. An Alien Conspiracy

While aliens are a subplot in season two's Asylum, we haven't had a dedicated season about extraterrestrial beings. This would set the stage to explore a "futuristic" theme, since aliens and advanced technology go hand-in-hand. Plus, there are plenty of ways to craft a terrifying narrative about aliens. Sure, there are abductions and experiments and disappearances, but there are also huge government conspiracies and notable cover-ups to think about as well. It begets a season about mystery, myth, and extreme paranoia.

Halloween: Jamie Lee Curtis Transforms Into Laurie Strode in a New Photo From the Reboot

Halloween 2018 just got kicked up a notch.

It was recently announced that Jamie Lee Curtis will be reprising the iconic role of Laurie Strode in Halloween, another reboot of the beloved horror franchise due out on Oct. 19, 2018. It's an exciting reveal for one of the first-ever scream queens because truly nothing is scarier than watching her fend off her psychotic, murderous, William Shatner-mask-wearing younger brother with only a wire hanger in the 1978 original. Then again, doesn't Laurie get stabbed by her deranged sibling and thrown to her death in the franchise's eighth movie, Halloween: Resurrection?

According to John Carpenter, who's on board as an executive producer and creative consultant, the reboot will ignore everything after the original film. "It's kind of a . . . I don't know how to describe it. It's almost an alternative reality," he explained to Stereo Gum. "It picks up after the first one and it pretends that none of the others were made. It's gonna be fun. There's a really talented director and it was well-written. I'm impressed."

Regardless of how they handle the storyline, the horror film sees Laurie facing down Michael in one final, bloody confrontation. Curtis is definitely attached as Laurie, and Judy Greer is reportedly in talks to play her daughter, Karen Strode. Jason Blum, of Get Out and Paranormal Activity fame, is also on board as a producer, while David Gordon Green and Danny McBride are in charge of the script (Green is also directing).

In other words? Best. Halloween. EVER. Check out the first few photos from the reboot below.
