returns to Augusta in search of his first Masters Green Jacket
The wait is over, golf fans. The first of four PGA major championships is upon us. The 89th edition of the Masters Tournament tees off from April 10-13, held at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, with all rounds broadcast live on CBS.
While it has been somewhat of a slow start to the 2025 PGA campaign, the same can’t be said for Swedish phenom Ludvig Aberg, who is off to a phenomenal start this season. Kicking off the year, Aberg has had two top-six finishes at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas and The Sentry in Hawaii, showing no signs of slowing down.
Further continuing to prove his talent, Aberg’s latest victory, at the 2025 Genesis Open in February, is his biggest PGA Tour victory to date, giving the Swede plenty of confidence heading into Augusta after he took the golf world by storm last season. In his first career major last year, Aberg finished in second place at seven under par, just behind the champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler — an impressive performance by the 25-year-old.
Heading into his second Masters Tourna-
ment, this will undoubtedly be his biggest test of the year as Aberg looks to take home at least one of four major championships in 2025 in what’s already been an incredible season for golf’s latest rising star.
Aberg currently ranks in the top 10 in world rankings, qualifying him for all four majors and remaining PGA Tour Signature events.
Fans won’t want to miss any of the action as the 89th annual Masters Tournament goes from April 10-13 at Augusta National Golf Club, with all rounds airing live on CBS.

Goodbye to Gilead: ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ concludes with Season 6
Blessed be the fruit, and heroic be the handmaids. After a three-year hiatus, the citizens of Gilead, Little America and New Bethlehem alike return for the sixth and final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” coming to Hulu with a three-episode premiere Tuesday, April 8. Episodes set to release weekly thereafter.
Created for television by Bruce Miller (“Eureka”) and inspired by Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name, this dystopian tale takes place in a totalitarian society, Gilead, built in what was once the United States. Low fertility rates led to the rise of theocracy, and the creation of a system in which fertile women (called “handmaids”) are assigned to powerful men and their wives, forcing them to bear children they must immediately surrender.
Eager to save her eldest daughter, Hannah (Jordana Blake, “Riot Girls,” 2019), one steadfast Handmaid, Offred (Elisabeth Moss, “The Invisible Man,” 2020) — later known by her real name, June — has fought tooth and nail to free herself from Gilead’s oppressive constraints, despite working for the likes of the ever-powerful Cmdr. Waterford (Joseph Fiennes, “Shakespeare in Love,” 1998) and his wife, Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski, “Teacup”), as well as Gilead architect Joseph Lawrence (Bradley Whitford, “The West Wing”), a complicated man wrestling with the reverberations of his own creation.
June’s fight continued following the birth of her daughter Nichole, eventually leading both to find safety in Canada, with June’s husband Luke (O-T Fag-
benle, “No Good Deed”) and her best friend, former Handmaid Moira (Samira Wiley, “Orange Is the New Black”).
Captured alongside her husband, Serena soon followed suit, confined in Toronto until she was eventually freed and sent to live with a couple more than obsessed with her newborn child. As tensions grew on both sides of the border, however, both Serena and June found themselves on the run in Season 5’s chilling finale, children in tow as they made way for the supposedly-safe Hawaii.
In her first interview following said finale, the Emmy-nominated Strahovski spoke candidly to Vanity Fair about Serena and June’s journey. “Personally, I don’t feel like they’re going to make it very far,” she says. “I can’t see them making it to their destination of choice.”
According to Hulu’s synopsis for the upcoming season, it seems Strahovski is correct. While welcoming series newcomers like Josh Charles (“Dead Poets Society,” 1989), D’Arcy Carden (“The Good Place”) and Timothy Simons (“Veep”), this sixth and final season promises more trouble for series favorites Serena Joy and June, as the former dives into a campaign to reform Gilead, while the latter fights to demolish the oppressive regime.
Later, speaking with W Magazine, Strahovski shared her thoughts on the upcoming season: “It got pretty raw in past seasons, but it gets even rawer this season. I don’t know how to explain it any other way. They just have some kind of a no-[nonsense] language between
them, where they can really see and hear each other. They can’t lie to each other very well. And that relationship is also
celebrity q&a
really, really complicated, and it’s been great to go even deeper into those complications.”

Zoe Saldaña
OF LIONESS ON PARAMOUNT+
Q: It was nice to see Zoe Saldaña win an Oscar. Will her series “Lioness” be back?
A: After earning her Academy Award for best supporting actress in “Emilia Pérez,” Paramount+ has not yet given an official renewal for a third season of the military-espionage drama series. However, things look promising on that count for a number of reasons.
Saldaña said in an interview last fall that she was committed to three seasons of “Lioness.” Both existing seasons of the show have fared quite well in terms of ratings — the series was among the top 10 of all scripted streaming series in the United States.
Also, if the series returned, “Lioness” would be able to boast no less than three Oscar winners as major cast members, provided that Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman also returned to the series. That’s big prestige for any network or streaming service and not easily dismissed, even in these times when production costs are being scrutinized more closely than ever.
Saldaña has an investment in “Lioness” beyond performing in it, since she’s also an executive producer — as is Kidman. So is co-star Jill Wagner, who developed the show with “Yellowstone” mentor Taylor Sheridan, one of the kings of Paramount+ programming when one considers he also furnishes “1923,” “Mayor of Kingstown” and “Tulsa King” to the service. Sheridan wrote all of the Season 2 scripts for “Lioness,” so it’s likely that he’ll have his work cut out for him again (something he doesn’t shy away from) if a third year is ordered.

Roasting the roasters: Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe offers
killer feedback to co-workers
Headline-making comedian Tony Hinchcliffe (“The Burn with Jeff Ross”), perhaps best known for his podcast “Kill Tony,” his appearances on “The Roast of Bert Kreischer” (2023) and “The Roast of Tom Brady” (2024) — and for his poorly received jokes at President Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally in October 2024 — is set to release three exclusive specials with Netflix, with the first making its debut on the streamer Monday, April 7.
These latest specials are said to feature a mixture of both established and aspiring comedians, all performing in front of Hinchcliffe and his esteemed panel of comedians who will provide brutally honest, unfiltered feedback. Part comedy special, part roast, “Kill Tony” offers constructive criticism, countless sets and cheeky laughs, all while poking fun at yet-to-be-announced celebrity guests who must perform at random.
The first of these three installments — airing this week — was filmed at the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas, kicking off a slate of releases for Hinchcliffe, who is also set to debut an hourlong special with the streamer.
“Myself and our entire crew of Austin comedians, peers and upcomers are excited for the opportunity to share our chaotic, insane show with a whole new chunk of the globe,” Hinchcliffe said in a statement. “It all started in a room at The Comedy Store with 12 audience members and barely anyone watching in 2013. After world tours and 700-plus
Monday releases on YouTube, it seems the persistence has paid off. And now, to think that I can pull a name out of a bucket and that person will be performing stand-up and an improvised interview on the largest streaming service in the world, is both exciting and frightening.”
