The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade drew its largest audience ever this year, according to NBCUniversal.

The 98th annual event amassed 31.3M viewers Thursday across linear and digital platforms, which is up 10% from last year’s 28.5M, the company said.

About 24M tuned in on NBC alone during the live telecast from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Et. That makes it the most-watched entertainment show on linear television since the 2020 Academy Awards on ABC.

Though NBCUniversal didn’t give specifics on the digital audience, the company did reveal that streaming hours on Peacock grew by 26% compared to last year’s parade.

In the 18-49 demo, it was the highest-rated telecast since 2021’s New Year’s Rocking Eve on ABC with a 5.4 rating.

Listen up, parade fans – if you thought the giant balloons were the biggest stars at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, we need to talk. The 98th edition of America’s favorite holiday tradition just served up a celebrity lineup that was hotter than your aunt’s fresh-out-the-oven apple pie.

From Broadway legends hitting notes that could be heard in Jersey to TikTok sensations making the crowd forget they’d been standing in the cold since dawn, this parade had it all. So, grab your leftover turkey sandwich and get comfortable, because this is a list of every single star who lit this year’s parade.

Despite the rain, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade forged ahead with its annual lineup of performances, oversize balloons and celebrities.

The parade, which also was briefly halted due to a group of pro-Palestinian protesters, saw lots of ponchos and umbrellas as participants and spectators braved the wet weather to take part in the annual spectacle.

This year’s lineup featured new Wednesday, Spider-Man and Minnie Mouse balloons; zoo and pasta-themed floats; an ode to Big Apple coffee and bagels; and performances from Jennifer Hudson, Idina Menzel and Kylie Minogue, along with the casts of The Outsiders and Hell’s Kitchen, the Rockettes and more.

Ahead of the parade, a private reception was held inside Macy’s Herald Square for celebrity guests guests including Jessica Chastain, Alison Brie, Maura Tierney, Flavor Flav, Sherri Shepherd, Skylar Astin, Anthony Michael Hall and Amber Ruffin. After the reception, the group watched the parade...

Kylie Minogue shined at the very rainy 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday, performing “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head,” “Slow,” and “Padam Padam.”

This wasn’t Minogue’s first time playing the parade; she last performed at the annual event in 2010, when she played her single “Get Outta My Way” off her 2010 album Aphrodite.

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade has been around since 1924, and each year, thousands of viewers tune in to see the larger-than-life floats, local dancers, and celebrity performances. Now 100 years since it kicked off, this Thanksgiving’s no different, with Idina Menzel, Jimmy Fallon & The Roots, and The War and Treaty set to appear during the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, and Al Roker will host this year’s parade.

It’s been a huge week for Vanderpump Rules fans. Bravo declared a cast overhaul for season 12 of the beloved reality show. Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz announced they’re closing Schwartz & Sandy’s at the end of 2024. And Ariana Madix continues to rise above it all — this time via the biggest Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade ever.

On November 26, Madix was spotted at day two of rehearsals for America’s favorite Thanksgiving tradition. Wearing a fluffy tan coat with black accents, the 39-year-old beamed between takes at Macy’s Herald Square. The belted jacket looked perfectly festive with black pants, chocolate leather gloves, and white knee-high boots. Madix wore her signature blonde hair in a fluffy blowout as she prepared for the parade.

Rod Stewart will grace the Glastonbury stage once again.

The rock star will play the legends slot at next year’s event, he has confirmed, 23 years after his last appearance at the U.K.’s biggest music festival.

Stewart — one of the best-selling artists of all time with hits like “Maggie May” and “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy?” — will follow in the footsteps of Dolly Parton, Shania Twain and Kylie Minogue by taking the coveted Sunday slot in late June.

The 79-year-old, who has sold over 120 million records worldwide, said on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday: “I’m absolutely thrilled to announce that I’ll be playing @glastonbury 2025! After all these years, I’m proud and ready and more than able to take the stage again to pleasure and titillate my friends at Glastonbury in June. I’ll see you there!”

NBC is renegotiating the broadcast rights for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, which may run as high as $60 million per year, three times the current price of $20 million, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

The Peacock network is said to be lining up a deal to keep the parade in place for the next 10 years. In 2023, the traditional live broadcast, which NBC has aired since 1953, drew 30 million viewers.

Reps for NBC and Macy’s did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

In 2023, NBC earned $52 million in advertising for the parade, with the average commercial bringing in $865,000, according to advertising research and data firm Guideline. This year, the average price per spot is nearly $900,000, WSJ reported.

The cost of the production of the parade has also climbed in recent years due to the increase in celebrity appearances and fees, which can run up to six figures. The...

Thanksgiving is almost here, which means it’s time for one of the most-anticipated events of the holiday season: The 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Every year, dozens of balloons, floats, marching bands, and performance groups usher in the Christmas season with a star-studded parade in New York City. It’s a tradition dating back 100 years. In 1924, Macy’s celebrated the opening of its expanded flagship Herald Square store with a parade of floats, clowns, and animals borrowed from the Central Park Zoo. The balloons were added in 1927, and the big event has continued to delight New Yorkers and people around the country nearly every year since.

The 98th edition of the parade will feature balloons new and old, performances by stars such as Jennifer Hudson and Billy Porter, and, of course, an appearance from Santa Claus himself. Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

The Acolyte press tour has pushed Jodie Turner-Smith to step outside her comfort zone, embracing a more daring and diverse style. However, for the press tour of her espionage thriller series, The Agency, in which she plays a more serious role as a professor of social anthropology and Michael Fassbender’s former love interest, Turner-Smith has chosen to keep things classy.

Her wardrobe selections this time also appeal to me, demonstrating her style prowess. No frills or feathers, no coquette-ish bows, no fanciful dresses—just pure glamour and elegance. While her classic Christian Louboutin shoes offer timeless sophistication, exploring other luxury options, like Jimmy Choo’s sleek pumps or Manolo Blahnik’s elegant sandals, could bring fresh variety to her ensembles.

Given the number of indelible performances he’s given since breaking out world-wide with only his third big-screen appearance—The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert in 1994—it’s astonishing that Guy Pearce doesn’t have an awards shelf creaking with the weight of career-affirming statuettes. That could change after Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist, an epic drama (complete with 15-minute intermission) co-written with Mona Fastvold, in which an emigrant Hungarian architect, László Toth (Adrien Brody), seeks political asylum, and a creative outlet, in post-war America. As the ultra-rich Harrison Lee Van Buren, an apparent philistine who becomes Toth’s artistic champion, Pearce steals the show.

Here—speaking from the sanctuary of his home studio, surrounded by an impressive (and tidy) display of guitars, keyboards, and all manner of color-coded cables—Pearce reflects on his near 40-year career in TV and movies. Surprisingly, after discussing some of his finest roles,...

You might need to be a fan of Carax’s oeuvre to enjoy this act of indulgence but this short autobiography is full of his grandiose whimsy and personal melancholy

Here is a 40-minute autobiographical jeu d’esprit from Leos Carax, the renowned director of Les Amants du Pont-Neuf, Bad Blood, Holy Motors and Annette; a body of work featuring such stars as Juliette Binoche, Michel Piccoli, Kylie Minogue, Denis Lavant and Adam Driver. First unveiled at Cannes this year, the puckish elusiveness of the piece is announced in the title itself.

C’est Pas Moi, or It’s Not Me, is a cine-collage essay in the manner of Godard, although the audio soundtrack does not quite have that papier-mache roughness that Godard often created. Godard’s voice appears briefly in an answering-machine message to Carax, a fragment that Carax might not have dared include while the great man was still alive.

It's that time of year again! No, we're not talking about the holidays (although they are pretty close); we're talking about the iconic Blackpool Week on Strictly Come Dancing. The remaining eight couples take to the legendary Blackpool Tower Ballroom in the hopes of creating a moment that will live on in Strictly history, and they get to do it on that renowned sprung floor, perfect for routines like the Quickstep and the Samba.

After last week's Dance-Off saw a split decision from the judges, it was Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu that were sent home in what many considered a shock given that Shayne was one of the series' early frontrunners. That highlights just how close the competition is right now, and it makes getting to Blackpool all the more imperative.

So, just how bright did all of the sparkles and glitzing routines shine in the Tower Ballroom? Here are all the Strictly spoilers,...

The show, which began in South Korea, features celebrities singing songs while wearing costumes and face masks concealing their identities until they’re eliminated. Throughout the season, the contestants provide clues to try and help the judges and fans figure out who is under the mask.

This season also features Ambassadors, who are all alums of the series, that have a special connection to each singer and will be providing major new clues about their friends’ identities.

Also in attendance at the event were Denzel‘s wife Pauletta, singer Kylie Minogue, and social media stars Harry Jowsey and David Dobrik.

Even if you've never seen "All in the Family," there's a high probability that you're at least somewhat familiar with the character of Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor), his well-meaning albeit shrill wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), and his constant conflict as a conservative patriarch against a progressively evolving world. If that sounds like the set-up for every family sitcom ever made, it's because, well, it is. "All in the Family" is one of the most influential TV shows in history, and that's not even factoring in the web of spin-offs it inspired like "The Jeffersons," "Maude," "Gloria, "704 Hauser,' "Good Times," and "Archie Bunker's Place."

The latter was a direct continuation of "All in the Family," set primarily in the neighborhood tavern purchased by Archie in the eighth season of the flagship sitcom. "Archie Bunker's Place" starts when he takes in a Jewish business partner named Murray Klein after co-owner...

In the nearly four decades since Kylie Minogue’s debut, the Australian soap actress turned international pop star has released 16 studio albums and, thanks to the recent success of “Padam Padam,” racked up an impressive 35 Top 10 hits in the U.K. Her career trajectory, however, wasn’t always assured.

After her initial breakout success on both sides of the Atlantic, with a cover of Little Eva’s “The Loco-Motion,” Minogue struggled to maintain interest among U.S. audiences. By the mid-1990s, she was eager to shake off her bubblegum-pop image, collaborating with the likes of Nick Cave and Towa Tei, and taking more creative control with the experimental Impossible Princess. The album flopped, but a turn-of-the-century renaissance found the singer embracing her dance-pop roots and cementing her status as a gay icon.

After a brief foray into country-pop with 2018’s Golden and classic disco on 2020’s Disco, Minogue made...

Jean-Claude Van Damme is a man of many talents. Apart from being a world-renowned martial artist, he is also a legend when it comes to minting out several highly acclaimed action movies. The Belgium-born Van Damme landed in Los Angeles with big dreams, but the reality was far different from what he had expected.

He initially struggled to get roles and landed some small bits here and there. But 1988’s Bloodsport changed everything for the actor.

He got the much-needed recognition after this movie, and now several decades later, he’s considered one of the most iconic actors of his generation. However, behind this glitz and glamour, the actor has been really struggling medically and is currently dealing with rapid-cycling bipolar disorder.

Kylie Minogue just released her latest album Tension II!

The 56-year-old Grammy award-winning Australian singer’s new LP is a follow up to her 2023 album Tension, which won her an Aria Music Award for Best Pop Release.

“As Charli Xcx said so brilliantly, ‘same but with three more songs.’ We get that, and that’s what we were aiming to do with Tension II,” Kylie recently said about the album on The Bert Show.

Tension II features Kylie‘s latest single “Lights Camera Action,” as well as previously released collaborations “Edge Of Saturday Night” with The Blessed Madonna, “My Oh My” with Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo, “Midnight Ride” with Orville Peck and Diplo, and “Dance Alone” with Sia.

Just a couple weeks ago, Kylie announced the North American dates for her upcoming 2025 Tension Tour!

In the second episode of Disclaimer, it was revealed that Nancy Brigstocke did confront Catherine Ravenscroft regarding her involvement in her son, Jonathan’s death. Nancy lambasted Catherine for not even showing up at Jonathan’s funeral, even though the teen had died saving Catherine’s son, Nicholas. To make things worse, when the authorities questioned Catherine about whether or not she knew Jonathan, she denied having any connections to that kid, despite having posed for some explicit pictures that were found on Jonathan’s camera. Talking about the photos, Stephen personally sent a copy of them to Robert, which caused him to spiral out and leave Catherine. Stephen had also laid the foundations of furthering the discord between Catherine and Nicholas by delivering a copy of The Perfect Stranger to the young man at his workplace, thereby following through on Nancy’s “a son for a son” crusade. In today’s episode of Disclaimer,...

If Kylie Minogue’s Tension generated its, well, tension from its fluctuations between propulsive electro-pop and breezy synth-pop, the album’s sequel, Tension II, fully commits to the former. “Padam Padam” is a direct influence here, with the slinky, undulating synths and robotic vocal hooks of tracks like “Kiss Bang Bang” and “Hello,” an outtake from the original sessions, clearly indebted to that sleeper hit from Tension.

The new album, which could have easily been called More Tension, is Minogue’s most shamelessly ingratiating collection of dance-pop songs since 2010’s Aphrodite—maybe even 2001’s Fever. The Aussie pop singer has, admirably, never before tried to replicate that album’s global smash, “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” but the frothy “Diamonds,” with its unrelenting bassline and earworm vocable, makes a valiant attempt. Elsewhere, the rollicking bass and string sample of “Taboo” nods to another infectious club anthem from the...

"I think it's awesome that we have such a connection with the game and to the characters, and...
