Let's get this straight right now: You don't watch a show about people who exploit dumpster babies, smoke crack to fake Medicare claims, or bribe morgue attendants for “15 minutes alone with the corpses” because you’re a sick fuck. But the good news...

It's (re)launch week here at ANTENNA, and while we may be facing the standard obstacles of a new website (doing the whole "Hey Google, look over here!" dance, explaining your website to PR flacks, decoding the office's bathroom dynamics), one crucial thing we managed to snag right out of the gate was an intern...

Miami-born Genesis Rodriguez got into acting only after giving robot-building and softball a try. “Once I did acting, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing, this is too good to be true,” she recalls. When she told her father, the popular Venezuelan singer-actor José Luis Rodríguez, that she’d found her calling, he agreed to let her pursue acting only if she agreed to take it seriously... Read M

When Nigel Godrich, Radiohead’s Grammy-minting producer, hollers with an invite to record an album, well, you start making plans for Nigel. That’s what happened to the Brooklyn indie band Here We Go Magic in late winter of last year, when Godrich, the de facto sixth member of Radiohead, happened to mention that, you know, he had some time...

It’s hard to imagine Michael Kiwanuka losing. The British acoustic-soul singer had an insane January: He beat Frank Ocean and Azealia Banks to top the prestigious BBC Sound of 2012 list, made MTV U.K.’s Brand New for 2012 short list and sold out his late-winter tour...

With a permeating penchant for the comic, landing a role on CBS’s new comedy Two Broke Girls sounds like a stellar scenario for Chicago native, Second City enthusiast and actor Jonathan Kite. Throw in his character’s description as “an oversexual Russian chef,” and you have a soon-to-be sitcom staple...

It’s a cliché backup plan for rappers with priors: If it weren’t for music, they’d be back on a corner. Danny Brown figures otherwise. “If I wasn’t a rapper, I could be a critic,” he offers. So it’s not a surprise that the pundits who could be his peers finally caught on to the Detroit MC, thanks to XXX, the free album he released last summer that landed on year-ending best-of lists from SPIN, Rol

Aziz Ansari had no idea Michelle Obama was on Twitter. While the rest of humanity was down in the trenches, retweeting a retweet that included a link to an article about the first lady firing up TweetDeck, the 28-year-old Parks and Recreation star was off somewhere filming another high-profile television commercial or preparing for the national comedy tour he’s kicking off in the coming months or

As a young boy, Kendrick Lamar wanted to go to prison when he grew up. After watching several loved ones bounce in and out of jail, he decided he had no choice but to carry on family tradition, and saw his final destination as something to aspire to instead of avoid...

Community has has taken off, with a viewership that’s closing in on The Office’s and a cast of quirky characters sharing almost nothing in common. But somehow it works — and Gillian Jacobs is a major reason. Playing Britta Perry, a student trying to get her shit together, Jacobs fills the role with sex, sass and hilarity, all the while making it look easy...
