Getty Image Christina Ricci is in the midst of a well-deserved resurgence. She’s got a hit show, the about-to-return Yellowjackets, and thanks to Wednesday, there’s renewed attention for her work in the two ‘90s Addams Family movies. Speaking of, when Ricci was younger, she earned a reputation for frank interviews in which she freely spoke her mind. Sometimes she spoke about issues like mental health, body image, and depression. Sometimes she was kind of combative. She doesn’t do that anymore, and in a new honest but not holds barred chat with Rolling Stone (in a bit caught by The AV…
Uproxx couldn’t get enough of Joanna Sternberg’s 2019 album, Then I Try Some More. “This Is Not Who I Want To Be” was described by Uproxx as “a poignant look at addiction with just the right balance of regret and reflection, so forthcoming that it feels powerful enough to make the ground shake.” Three-plus years later, Sternberg has not lost their ability to acutely reflect and widely resonate. Today, March 8, Sternberg announced I’ve Got Me, their album due out on Fat Possum on June 30, and released its title track. “And all my faults and flaws and lies /…

Twitter/KellanOlson The Phoenix Suns have looked an awful lot like contenders with Kevin Durant in the lineup, which isn’t a surprise considering he is one of the five best basketball players on the planet when healthy. The health part has been an issue at times, though, and while Durant is fully back after his latest knee sprain, he suffered a new injury on Wednesday night while warming up on the floor before the Suns hosted the Thunder, as he rolled his left ankle while driving to the basket and fell to the ground. Here’s video of Kevin Durant slipping on…
iStockphoto/UPROXX Deciding which Irish whiskey to buy over the next few weeks is going to be tough. There’s a fair amount of cheap but good Irish whiskey on the shelf. Still, two names absolutely dominate that conversation — Jameson Irish Whiskey and Tullamore D.E.W. Irish Whiskey. Which begs the question, which is better and worth spending hard-earned cash on? To be fair — these whiskeys are very similar. They’re both “triple distilled” Irish whiskey blends (though not exactly the same, which I’ll address below). They have the same proof/ABV. They both cost less than $30 and can be found on…
Broker’s/Beefeater/Dumshanbo/No. 3 Gin/istock/Uproxx Gin is all about versatility in flavors. That’s what makes it such a great base for cocktails. Sure, there’s the obvious juniper berry flavor that gin drinkers know to recognize on the nose and palate. But there are also myriad other herbs and botanicals present, depending on the gin.

These myriad flavor notes make for nuanced, complex, multi-dimensional cocktails. That is if you choose the right gin to work with. “Gin confounds a great many young bartenders, as it can…
FS1 The Big East Men’s Basketball Tournament somehow finds a way to deliver absolutely wild finishes seemingly every year, and the 2023 edition proved to be no different as DePaul and Seton Hall produced a truly insane final minute. It started with Seton Hall, leading by two, turning it over in a scrum on the floor, before DePaul botched an alley-oop on the other end leading to a jump ball.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ending up on the Billboard charts was probably not on your 2023 bingo card. Last month, on the one-year mark since Russia invaded Ukraine, country singer Brad Paisley released “Same Here.” The song contains a recording of a phone call between Paisley and Zelenskyy discussing the ways in which their countries are similar.
