Reading Time: 4 minutes

You might still have a half-empty bowl of Halloween candy next to your front door, but ready or not, the holiday season is officially here!

Yes, it’s Black Friday, and whether you’re battling the hordes at your local big box store or navigating the Amazon with nothing but your AmEx card for protection, there are some major once-a-year deals waiting to be discovered.

Now, as a celebrity gossip site, we might not be the most obvious candidate to guide you through the retail jungle.

But if you have a pop culture lover in your life (or if you just want to treat yourself to some movie merch or a new streaming service), then you’ve come to the right place!

Scroll on for our list of the best gift ideas for the TV, music, or movie aficionado on your gift list.

Streaming deals

Numerous streaming services are offering discounted rates for Black Friday. And while subscriptions might not be the most conventional present, they offer a new way of gifting in this post-physical media world.

Apple TV+ for $5.99/month (down from $12.99)

Pluribus, and Severance, and Slow Horses, oh my!

Yes, Apple TV+ is carrying some of the biggest shows on TV, and right now, you can subscribe for about half the usual rate.

And it’s the perfect time of year to enjoy exclusive holiday content like the 2022 Will Ferrell-Ryan Reynolds comedy Spirited!

Disney+, Hulu and ESPN Bundle for $29.99/month (down from $49.99)

Here’s one for all you cord-cutters out there!

If you ditched cable and you’re finding that the Netflix library isn’t offering as much quality content as those 150 channels, then the Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN bundle has got you covered.

In addition to all the quality movies and series on Disney+, Hulu is the best platform for keeping you connected with all of your favorite broadcast and basic cable shows.

And for a limited time, they’re knocking 20 bucks off the monthly subscription rate.

AMC+ for $1.75/month (down from $6.99)

Sink your teeth into a deal that’ll give you access to acclaimed AMC+ original shows like Interview With the Vampire.

A subscription — for the low price of just $1.75 a month! — will also provide you with access to AMC’s horror streaming service Shudder.

A word of warning, however: If you’re a Mad Men fan who wants to rewatch the acclaimed ad agency drama, you might just want to wait a few days — the show will be available on HBO Max beginning in December.

Merchandise deals

Hot Topic has discounted Stranger Things gear

Hot Topic is one of several retailers offering deep discounts on merchandise for the TV lover in your life, including Stranger Things t shirts and hoodies.

Yes, you might not have a mall in your town anymore, but Hot Topic is still there for all of your pop culture merch needs.

Sadly, it seems they no longer stock a wide array of Limp Bizkit posters.

'Stranger Things' season 5 debuted on Netflix on November 26.

And for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, they’re offering 20 percent off storewide.

From Star Wars to The Simpsons, Homage has the branded merch that’s certain to please the TV and movie obsessive in your life.

They even have gear from all of the major sports leagues to satisfy the jocks on your list.

Porsha Williams Girlfriend REVEALED: Meet Patrice McKinney!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Porsha Williams has gone Instagram official.

With her brand new GIRLFRIEND.

On Friday, November 28, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared a birthday tribute to Patrick “Sway” McKinney, the founder of Encore Salon Suites in Atlanta.

“Happiest Birthday @sway_thepro Hope this year continues to bring you everything you want and more! Can’t wait to act up Saturday!” Williams captioned the post, which included the picture down below.

In one of the images Porsha posted to social media, Sway is hugging Williams from behind as the reality star throws her head back in a laugh.

In another, the pair can be seen embracing in a lovely hug as Sway plants a smooch on her girlfriend’s cheek.

In a third photo, Sway and Williams simply pose for a selfie.

Williams’ relationship is the first she’s made public since finalizing her divorce from ex-husband Simon Guobadia in June.

She filed for the official/legal split in February 2024, approximately 15 months after she married the 61-year-old Nigerian entrepreneur.

(Instagram)

During an appearance at Culture Con last month, Williams revealed that she was “talking to” two different individuals — a man and a woman — and that she’d “narrowed it down” to them both.

“He is nice, and she is nice,” she said.

Williams said she “really just wanted to make sure that these were normal people” as she entered the dating world for the first time since becoming single once again.

“What I talked about with my therapist the other day was — I’m having a hard time opening up because they’re not narcissists,” Williams went on.

“And guess what narcissists do? They love bomb you, they do everything, they look perfect, they mirror you. And these people are not.”

Porsha Williams attends the "Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning" Atlanta Special Screening with Angela Bassett at Regal Atlantic Station on May 21, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Williams never came out of the closet as a bisexual.

HOWEVER, the upcoming Traitors contestant had previously hinted at not being able to “connect with other men” while stating that her dating life would look “different” after ending her relationship with Guobadia.

“When you go through a bad enough breakup, you’re like, ‘I don’t like nobody,’” Porsha told People Magazine in June.

“I was sitting there, I was like, ‘Do I like women enough? Can I get with a woman? Who can come in and fill this void?’ But I don’t yet. It’ll come.”
