The biggest names in music are heading to Los Angeles this weekend for the 2021 Billboard Music Awards and we have all the details on how you can watch this year’s awards show on TV or online.

Unlike the Grammys where nominations are determined by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the finalists in the Billboard Music Awards are based on album and digital song sales, how many times a song was streamed, radio airplay, touring, and social engagement.

After hosting the awards show for the past three years in a row, Kelly Clarkson is stepping down from the role and her co-star on The Voice, Nick Jonas will host the 2021 Billboard Music Awards live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

When it comes to the artist with the most nominations, The Weeknd currently holds the top spot with 16 followed by DaBaby with 11. The late rapper Pop Smoke has been posthumously nominated in 10 categories while American Idol alumni Gabby Barrett received 9 nominations.

After last month’s Show of Shows, the WWE is returning for its next big event in Tampa and we have all the details on how you can watch WrestleMania Backlash on TV or online.

While WrestleMania 37 was the WWE’s first event with live fans in over a year, this weekend’s show will once again be held behind closed doors. However, fans will still get to be a part of the action albeit virtually as the WWE plans to use its ThunderDome at Backlash which will be held in Tampa’s Yuengling Center.

WrestleMania Backlash will feature a total of five title matches as well as a lumberjack match between Damian Priest and The Miz.

At the top of the card, Cesaro will take on Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship while Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntrye and Braun Strowman will meet in the ring for a WWE Championship match. Rhea Ripley, Asuka and Charlotte Flair will face off for the Raw Women’s Championship with Bianca Belair and Bayley will go toe to toe for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. …

Following the success of its last big pay-per-view event in Florida, UFC’s Dana White is making good on his promise “to go to Texas ASAP” by holding UFC 262 in Houston and we have all the details on how you can watch Oliveira vs Chandler on TV or online.

UFC 262’s main event will see the promotion crown a new lightweight champion that will replace Khabib Nurmagomedov after he retired following his final victory over Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 back in October of last year. While White wanted to have Nurmagomedov return for one more fight, he eventually accepted the fact that he wouldn’t and the lightweight championship belt then became vacant

Now Charles “Do Bronx” Oliveira and Michael “Iron” Chandler will meet in the octagon at UFC 262 to determine who will be the new lightweight champion.

Oliveira is currently on an eight fight win streak after defeating Jared Gordon by total knockout back in 2019, Kevin Lee by submission last March and Tony Ferguson by decision last December. How…

Get ready for one of the biggest fights of the year when Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez will finally take on Billy Joe Saunders in an attempt to become the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world and we have all the details on how you can watch Canelo vs Saunders online.

Canelo has a lot to lose in tonight’s fight as he’s laying down his WBC, WBA, and Ring Magazine super middleweight belts on the line to take on Saunders who is currently the WBO super middleweight champion in a 12 round match.

While Canelo hasn’t lost a fight since 2013 when he was defeated by Floyd Mayweather Jr. by majority decision, Saunders has yet to lose a single fight throughout the entirety of his 12-year career. During his last fight in December, Canelo defeated Callum Smith by unanimous decision earning him the WBC, WBA, and Ring Magazine titles. He later defended his titles against Avni Yildirim back in February. Saunders on the other hand also won his last fight against Martin Murray by unanimous dec…

The 2021 Formula 1 season continues and this weekend teams and drivers will head to Portimao, Portugal for this year’s Portugese Grand Prix and we have all the details on how you can watch the race on TV or online.

The Algarve International Circuit, often referred to as simply Portimao, is a newcomer to the Formula 1 calendar as the track held its first Grand Prix last year. Before that, the track was primarily used for pre-season training. Portimao has 16 turns, a circuit length of 2.81 miles and drivers will complete 66 laps before finishing the 190-mile race. While Valtteri Bottas won last year’s Portuguese Grand Prix with a time of one hour and 18 minutes, Lewis Hamilton currently holds the best lap record at Portimao with a time of one minute and eighteen seconds.

When it comes to the standings going into the third Formula 1 Grand Prix of 2021, Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton currently holds the top spot with 44 points, 1 win, and 2 podiums with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen right behind…

It’s been almost two years since Derek Chisora and Joseph Parker were supposed to meet in the ring but this Saturday boxing fans will finally get to see the heavyweight showdown they’ve been waiting for and we have all the details on how you can watch Chisora vs Parker on TV or online.

The two former heavyweight champions were originally scheduled to go head to head at London’s O2 Arena back in October of 2019. However, just before the fight, Parker fell ill after a spider bite and the event was cancelled. Chisora was unconvinced though and in recent weeks he has begun referring to Parker as a chicken ahead of their match.

Parker’s last fight was in February when he defeated Junior Fa while Chisora was less successful when he stepped into the ring last Halloween to go up against Oleksandr Usyk.
The two will finally have a chance to settle their unfinished business at the AO Arena in Manchester tonight where they’ll go 12 rounds in a heavyweight bout.

Chisora vs Parker isn’t the on…

After being delayed by two months due to the pandemic, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will hold the 2021 Academy Awards in Los Angeles and we have all the details on how you can watch the Oscars on TV or online.

The reason that the Academy decided to delay this year’s awards show by two months was to accommodate films released all the way up to February of this year. Another big change is the fact that films released on streaming services and digital platforms will also be eligible to win an Oscar this year.

The 2021 Oscars will take place at both Union Station and the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles with only nominees, their guests, and presenters attending the event in person. There will also be a red carpet at the award show but it likely won’t resemble the more over-the-top and glitzy red carpet events of past years.

As was the case last year, there won’t be a host for this year’s Academy Awards. There will be a number of stars present though with Brad Pitt, Joaq…

UFC 261 will be a pay-per-view event to remember as this Saturday will mark the first time since March of last year that fans will be in attendance to see the evening’s three title fights and we have all the details on how you can watch Usman vs Masvidal 2 on TV or online.

The last time that Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal met in the Octagon was at UFC 251 back in July of last year at the UFC’s first event held at its Fight Island facility in Abu Dhabi. While Usman was originally scheduled to fight Gilbert Burns, he tested positive for Covid a week before the fight and was replaced by Masvidal at the last minute. Unfortunately for Masvidal, he lost to Usman by unanimous decision during the fifth round. Now the “Nigerian Nightmare” and “Gamebred” are set for a huge rematch and hopefully having extra time to prepare will give Masvidal an edge in this fight and a chance to take the welterweight title from Usman.

During the co-main event at UFC 261, the promotion’s first Chinese champi…

During last week’s episode titled “Gettin’ Lucky!”, the four remaining queens had to write verse, record, and perform RuPaul’s song Lucky.

The four remaining queens competing in the finale are Gottmik and Symone from Los Angeles and Rosé and Kandy Muse from New York. Gottmik made history earlier this year as the first transge…

It’s been over 25 years since fans of the 90s fighting game series got to see Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade, Raiden, Sub-Zero, and all of their favorite characters on the big screen but now they’ll get to once again as Warner Bros. has rebooted the franchise and we have all the details on how you can watch the new Mortal Kombat film online.

When Mortal Kombat first made its theatrical debut in 1995, the film was a big hit and a trilogy was planned. However, following the release of its sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, the third film was cancelled and fans of the series were left in the dark as to whether or not they would ever see another Mortal Kombat film again.

Featuring a story by Oren Uziel and Greg Russo, the Mortal Kombat reboot is the feature directorial debut of Australian filmmaker Simon McQuoid. The film will release in theaters and on HBO Max beginning on Friday, April 23 in the U.S. However, it’s worth noting that it will only be available to watch on HBO’s streaming se…
