Angelina Jolie was hurt because Brad Pitt worked with Harvey Weinstein (Photo Credit – Wikimedia/Facebook)

“It was hard for me when Brad did,” said Angelina Jolie, and yeah, we get it. That moment when her ex-husband, Brad Pitt, chose to work with Harvey Weinstein—after she’d already made it clear how much of a predator he was—still stings. You’d think he’d know better.

Jolie opened up in a The Guardian interview, spilling the details of her traumatic run-in with Weinstein when she was just 21, on the set of Playing By Heart in 1998. She was young, trying to make her mark in Hollywood, but Weinstein’s advances crossed a line. “The attempt and the experience of the attempt is an assault,” she said. And yet, she survived it, but the scars were deep. Jolie didn’t just walk away from Weinstein—she bolted, warned everyone in her circle,...

Did Dylan Sprouse confront Jared Leto? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Dayumm, Dylan Sprouse! He went there. The actor, best known for his role in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, took a Twitter jab at Jared Leto that no one saw coming. On the early morning of May 16, 2018, Dylan didn’t hold back, calling out Leto for reportedly sliding into the DMs of young female models. His tweet? A savage one-liner that packed a punch: “Yo @JaredLeto, now that you’ve slid into the Dm’s of every female model aged 18-25, what would you say your success rate is?”

Yo @JaredLeto now that you’ve slid into the dm’s of every female model aged 18-25, what would you say your success rate is?

It was a bold move that had fans buzzing. Sure, it could’ve been a joke, but something told me there...

Was Jennifer Lawrence obsessed with Timothée Chalamet? (Photo Credit – Instagram/Facebook)

Jennifer Lawrence’s Red Sparrow press tour revealed a surprising crush on none other than Timothée Chalamet. While we were all busy swooning over his performance in Call Me by Your Name, Lawrence casually confessed she was utterly enchanted by the 22-year-old actor—who, at the time, was fresh off an Oscar nomination. “He’s so talented and hot!” she gushed, adding, “What if I was like, ‘He’s hot!’ and he’s 15?” But don’t worry, she wasn’t crossing any lines. She even joked, “Tell him to wait. I’m buttering him up like a pig for slaughter, and then I’m going to swing right in there as soon as he’s, like, 30.”

Talk about an iconic crush.

Let’s rewind to Call Me by Your Name, the film that launched Chalamet fever. Lawrence wasn’t...

Zendaya took 300 kids to watch Black Panther (Photo Credit – Instagram/Facebook)

Zendaya? Yeah, she’s the queen of generosity. In 2018, the Greatest Showman star went full superhero mode by taking 300 kids from her hometown of Oakland to see Black Panther. No, this wasn’t some VIP event—this was a genuine love letter to her community. Zendaya tweeted, “Wakanda forever…Oakland forever,” as she celebrated her hometown squad because nothing screams “community hero” like showing up for the next generation.

And this wasn’t a one-and-done moment. Zendaya teased that she’d do it again for A Wrinkle in Time. The woman had a plan to keep the good vibes rolling.

But Zendaya wasn’t alone in this epic mission. Kids lost it at the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta when they found out they’d be heading to the theater to see Black Panther as part of a lesson plan.

Here’s why Jennifer Aniston had a hard time filming Friends (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Jennifer Aniston’s ride to stardom? It’s not a smooth highway. She’s finally lifting the curtain on one of the most challenging periods of her life—one that hit right while filming the Friends reunion in 2021. Spoiler: It wasn’t the laugh-track nostalgia fest we all expected.

“I think we were just so naive walking into it,” she said, reminiscing on the reunion. “How fun is this going to be? The sets are back; the vibe is set.” Then—boom—reality crashed in. “Oh right, I hadn’t thought about what was going on the last time I was here.” Cue emotional reset.

What exactly hit her so hard? She didn’t spill all the tea, but it wasn’t career drama. “It was more personal stuff that I had expectations about that sort of shape-shifted,...

Did Carrie Fisher have an affair with Harrison Ford? (Photo Credit – Wikimedia)

Star Wars’ world-shifting debut in 1977 gave the galaxy more than just unforgettable characters; it also gave us one of Hollywood’s most unexpected behind-the-scenes romances. Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford had a secret affair on set. The truth emerged decades later in Fisher’s memoir The Princess Diarist, where she spilled the galactic tea about their brief but intense fling. The Star Wars phenomenon set the stage for their secret romance. Just 19 and fresh off as Princess Leia, Fisher was wrapped up in a whirlwind with the 33-year-old married Ford, who was already a rising star. The affair was kept under wraps—until Fisher decided to tell the world in 2016. She described it as more of a “three-month one-night stand” with plenty of emotional baggage. According to Fisher, when you’re filming on location, “everything is permitted,” but...

Kirsten Dunst discussed how much she hated kissing Brad Pitt (Photo Credit – Instagram/Facebook)

Kirsten Dunst’s Interview with the Vampire breakout moment? Not the kiss with Brad Pitt. At 11, locking lips with a grown man felt weird. “I hated it so much,” Dunst admitted. He was like a brother to her, and as she put it, “Who wouldn’t be uncomfortable kissing their older brother?” Yeah, even if he’s Pitt.

This wasn’t the first time Dunst has spoken about the awkward lip-lock. Entertainment Tonight dug up an old interview from when Dunst was 12, where she said, “Brad was like my older brother on the set… It was gross.” Yeah, gross. A full-on 31-year-old man kissing a preteen? No thanks. But Dunst’s honesty about the situation is precisely why we love her.

Despite that awkward moment, Dunst still has fond memories from the set. “Other than that,...

Did Nicole Kidman Call Tom Cruise Sexist? (Photo Credit – Instagram/Facebook)

Nicole Kidman shut down a lazy Tom Cruise comparison while discussing Being the Ricardos, serving up sass and reminding everyone she’s not just defined by her past relationships.

When the conversation veered toward her ex-husband, Kidman snapped, “Oh, my God, no, no. Not.” She said, “That’s so long ago that that isn’t in this equation.” But it got juicy: “I would ask not to be pigeonholed that way, either. It feels to me almost sexist because I’m not sure anyone would say that to a man.” Mic drop

She was legitimately calling out an entire double standard. Because when it comes to her past with Cruise, it seems everyone’s still stuck on that ‘90s tabloid romance. Kidman, however, is so done with it. “Give me my life. In its own right,” she quipped. That’s her story,...

Sandra Bullock almost killed Michael Caine? (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Sandra Bullock nearly turned Miss Congeniality into a murder mystery—and Michael Caine was almost the victim. The actress recently confessed that the legendary British star had a near-death experience during filming when he fell into an unmarked stage pit. Talk about a plot twist no one saw coming!

Sharing the wild moment on the About Last Night podcast, Sandra explained that a bright light was shining on Caine when he suddenly vanished—straight into the abyss. “He could’ve sued us, but he didn’t,” she admitted, still marveling at his grace under pressure. The crew freaked out, of course, but the ever-classy Caine brushed it off like a pro.

How did he bounce back? Quite literally. Sandra called him “a beast” who recovered so fast it was almost supernatural. Fun fact: acupuncturists on set “jumped on him” and left him feeling “bright as rain.

Here’s Why Jennifer Garner Wishes She Didn’t Marry Scott Foley (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Jennifer Garner’s rise to fame is packed with twists, turns, and a few heartfelt regrets—including her first marriage to Felicity star Scott Foley. Garner, who has since charmed the world as an actress and doting mom, candidly admitted that tying the knot in her 20s might’ve been a misstep. She once shared, “I wish I’d known to wait for marriage until I was 30 or over.”

Rewind to 1998: Jennifer Garner met Scott Foley on Felicity. Sparks flew, leading to marriage in 2000. Garner’s career skyrocketed with Alias, courtesy of J.J. Abrams, but Hollywood’s fast lane soon tested their picture-perfect love story.

By 2003, they announced their split, with Garner skipping the Oscars alongside Foley. She later reflected, “We were the victims of Hollywood… If we lived where I was brought up...

Zayn Malik reflected on his final performance with One Direction just days after Liam Payne’s funeral. Even though Zayn parted ways from the group, the singer expressed his interest in relieving his past in recent years.

Zayn Malik Wanted To Perform ‘One Last Gig’ With One Direction

A fan recently shared a heartfelt TikTok edit showing Zayn performing Pillowtalk alongside his bandmates. The edit starts with a clip from an old interview in which Zayn asked what he would do if he had only a day left to live.

“I’d like to play one last gig with One Direction,” Zayn replied. Although the statement was made 7 years ago, Zayn recently liked the video, leaving his fans bewildered.

Here’s how Matthew Perry lost his short middle finger (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Matthew Perry, best known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on Friends, has a quirky detail about his past that even some of his biggest fans might have missed—he’s missing part of his middle finger. This wasn’t some weird Hollywood plastic surgery move, though. Nope, Perry’s missing fingertip is the result of a childhood accident that left his finger lacerated after getting it caught in a car door. Ouch, right?

It wasn’t long before eagle-eyed Friends fans noticed Perry’s finger seemed a little… off. Sure, Chandler Bing lost a toe tip due to a Thanksgiving mishap involving a dropped knife (a totally Chandler thing to happen), but Perry’s real-life finger loss was a much more innocent—if painful—event. It all started when Perry was just three years old.

Did Tom Cruise Wish To Land His Helicopter In James Corden’s Yard? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Tom Cruise doesn’t just take a cab when he visits friends—he considers landing a helicopter in their backyard. Yes, you read that right. On The Late Late Show, James Corden spilled the beans about Cruise’s bizarrely charming request to land his helicopter in Corden’s garden. And no, this wasn’t some over-the-top Hollywood prank. This was Cruise, being Cruise.

Corden revealed that while texting about meeting up in London one summer, Cruise dropped the bombshell: “Where are you staying?” Corden replied, “St. John’s Wood.” Simple, right? Then came the twist: “Can I land my helicopter there?” Corden thought, surely this was a joke. Cue a bunch of laughing emojis. But Cruise wasn’t playing around. “Does this mean no?” he texted back. Classic Cruise—always shooting his shot, even...

Gwyneth Paltrow Almost Let Go Of Her Shakespeare in Love Role Over Brad Pitt Split? (Photo Credit – Instagram/Facebook)

Imagine almost ditching an Oscar-winning role. Gwyneth Paltrow nearly passed on Shakespeare in Love because of her messy breakup with Brad Pitt. Heartbroken and overwhelmed, she couldn’t even read the script. “The idea of going to England just seemed…” she shared, proving heartbreak almost rewrote Hollywood history.

Yep, the same Shakespeare in Love that snagged her a Best Actress Oscar in 1999 nearly slipped through her fingers. Julia Roberts was initially attached to the film, but that version fell apart, and Miramax knocked on Paltrow’s door. “I was the first person they offered it to,” she said. Still, a shattered heart almost made her pass on what turned out to be the role of a lifetime.

But let’s rewind to the breakup drama. Paltrow and Pitt—Hollywood’s golden...

Hold up—Chris Pratt called someone. But, whom did he call before proposing to Katherine Schwarzenegger? Yep, the Guardians of the Galaxy star rang up his ex-wife, Anna Faris, to give her the lowdown before popping the question. Classy move, right?

Anna spilled the tea on the Divorce Sucks! Podcast, saying Chris didn’t want her to be blindsided. “He called me and said, ‘So, I’m going to ask Katherine to marry me. Just wanted to give you a heads-up,’” she shared. Her response? Pure Anna. “That’s awesome!”

And this wasn’t some awkward, obligatory call. These two have nailed the whole “friendly ex” vibe. Anna explained how they’ve always prioritized their son, Jack, and worked hard to keep things smooth. “Grudge-holding? Not our thing,” she said. They’ve even discussed sharing holidays...

An irreverent, low-budget anthology comedy, It’s Florida, Man has been proof of concept for HBO, and its impressive performance is expected to usher in more shows developed under that cost-effective comedy model to the network’s late-night.

Acknowledging on an investor call last year that hit drama series in general provide better return on investment than comedies, Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO and Max Content, has been looking to revamp the genre, mixing up high-end, star-driven vehicles with off-beat, cheaper entires as the TV industry across the board has been trying to bring comedy costs down.

HBO’s previous lower-budget comedy efforts under that strategy include Los Espoookys and How To with John Wilson.

While we wait to find out if Anna Faris and Regina Hall will return for the recently announced Scary Movie 6, at least one actor has confirmed that a fan-favorite character from Scary Movie will be back for the upcoming installment. Dave Sheridan, who plays Officer Doofy in the 2000 film (a parody of Scream character Dewey Riley) recently shared that Ghostface will return.

YouTuber Josh Ludemann (@Crazydog500) posted an in-depth video with Sheridan discussing props from the original spoof movie. In it, Sheridan talks a lot about the mask from the film, along with other props and costumes they used, and he shares a lot of fascinating behind-the-scenes secrets.

Actor Chris Pratt and his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger have added another bundle of joy to their family! The couple announced the arrival of their third baby together and shared the name they chose for their newborn. News of the couple’s pregnancy was revealed in June.

The Guardians of the Galaxy star and BDA Baby podcast host shared a joint Instagram announcement to share that they welcomed their third baby on November 8th. The couple welcomed a baby boy, their first son together, and chose to name him Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt. “We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt,” the couple wrote in the caption before giving an update on how the family is doing since Ford’s arrival. “Mama and baby are doing well and Ford’s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful.”

Congrats to the happy family!

We recently got confirmation that a Scary Movie reboot (though it might end up being more of a "requel") is moving forward with the original creative team of Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans back on board.

Fans were hopeful that stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall - who played Cindy Campbell and her best pal Brenda Meeks in the first four movies - would reprise their roles, and both actresses have now discussed their potential returns.

It sounds like Faris and Hall would be interested in returning to the horror parody franchise if given the opportunity.

"I would love to work with Regina again," Faris said when asked if she was involved with the new movie by People. "I just love her so much. We would make each other giggle all day long. Regina Hall would be my answer. And money. But mostly all Regina!"

Regina Hall is just as excited about a new Scary Movie coming from the Wayan Brothers as the rest of us! The actress who played Brenda in the first four films of the franchise recently told TVInsider that she's "thrilled at the possibility that the band could get back together again."

She's especially happy that the film is coming directly from Keenen Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans, as the trio created, wrote, and directed the first two films in the series, with Marlon and Shawn starring. Hall and Anna Faris were two of the other main characters in the first four films, though they did not return for Scary Movie 5.

Their characters, Brenda and Cindy, are one of the most popular duos from the movie and fans are eager to see them return. Based on Hall's comments, it sounds like she's excited to see what comes of the...

Eleven years have gone by since the release of a new entry in the Scary Movie horror parody series – but the franchise isn’t going to remain dormant for much longer. Back in April, it was announced that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, had given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. We recently learned that the series is being revived with the help of the people who got it started in the first place: the Wayans Brothers – and now Regina Hall, who played the character Brenda Meeks in the first four movies, has said she thinks it would be fun to come back and work on the new sequel with the Wayans.

Directed by In Living Color creator Keenen Ivory Wayans from a screenplay written by a bunch of people,...

Regina Hall is “thrilled” about the new installment of the Scary Movie franchise.

The Wayans Brothers are reuniting for a new sequel to the slasher parody film, and Hall, who played Brenda Meeks in the first four films, opened up about returning to the franchise.

“I’m just very excited to know that the Wayans, who actually started the project out of their idea, are back on board and at the helm again. I’m excited for them,” Hall told TV Insider.

She continued, “We’ll see if Brenda is in this new world. I’m thrilled at the possibility that the band could get back together again. That would be fun.”

The Scary Movie film franchise premiered in 2000 and was developed by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Keenen Ivory Wayans. Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote and directed the first two films, and Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans wrote and starred in them.

Miramax and Paramount are resurrecting the Scary Movie franchise with a brand new reboot movie, with franchise originators the Wayans Brothers returning. Chatting withTV Insider this week, Scary Movie mainstay Regina Hall gives an encouraging comment that we’ll see the return of fan favorite Brenda Meeks.

Regina Hall starred alongside Anna Faris in the first four Scary Movie installments, with Faris playing Cindy Campbell and Hall playing her character’s best friend, Brenda. Faris recently commented that she doesn’t plan on returning unless Regina Hall is also asked to return. Luckily, it sounds as though talks may be underway.

“Anna is great. I’m just very excited to know that the Wayans, who actually started the project out of their idea, are back on board and at the helm again. I’m excited for them. We’ll see if Brenda is in this new world. I’m thrilled...

In the world of comedy and entertainment, Anna Faris has distinguished herself with her comedic genius and acting talent. For the better part of the last few decades, the actress has humored us with her brilliance in projects like the Scary Movie film series, The Hot Chick, Lost in Translation, and many more.

However, her defining moment as a comedy genius and actor came when she was roped in to star as Christy Plunkett in the hit CBS sitcom, Mom. From her quirky charm to her heartfelt performance as the sober mom trying to get her life back on track, Faris was the charm and draw of the series. Hence, it was a shocker when she announced she would be leaving the show after seven seasons.

I​f Hollywood is good at anything, it’s seeing what hits big at the box office and then churning out a hundred clones of that product until it gets driven into the ground. We see it all the time. One such incident came around the release of the 1978 film Halloween. Once it began to rack up box office numbers, everyone scrambled to put out their own slasher film, preferably built around a holiday. This led to a glut of slasher films – which, if you’re a slasher fan like myself, was a fantastic time to be alive. Let’s look at the best Halloween rip-offs.

O​fferings (1989)

Offerings might be the most egregious rip-off Halloween there could be. A young kid accidentally falls down a well while playing with a group of kids. Some of them scare him as he’s walking along the edge, and he hits his head.

It's Florida, Man features a lineup of stars headlined by Randall Park, Anna Faris, and Jake Johnson. 

The new HBO series highlights an anthology of comedic tales set in the Sunshine State. Familiar actors portray individuals from Florida who chronicle a mishap that happened in real life.

It's Florida, Man premiered on HBO on October 18.

There are two kinds of people: those who enjoy horror movies and those who dislike them. For the second group, there are movies that make scary funny. The Scary Movie franchise is the perfect thing to watch with your friends who are not that fond of horror movies. It is a series of parody films focused on spoofing horror films. It was developed by the Wayan brothers—Keenen Ivory, Shawn, and Marlon. The trio is once again reuniting for the Scary Movie reboot.

The reboot was announced at CinemaCon, and the Wayan brothers are reuniting after 18 years. For the unversed, Keenen wrote and directed the first two movies, while Marlon and Shawn wrote and starred in them. They were produced by Dimension Films with Miramax Films.

According to Deadline’s report, the Scary Movie reboot will begin filming next year.

The Scary Movie franchise has officially been resurrected... for better or worse!

Following April's CinemaCon announcement that a reboot of the horror parody series was in development, Deadline is reporting that a sixth movie is moving forward with the original creative team of Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans back on board.

Keenen Ivory wrote and directed the first two films, while Marlon and Shawn contributed to the scripts and also starred. It's unknown if the brothers will assume the same roles this time.

Fans are hopeful that Anna Faris and Regina Hall will return to lead this new movie, but there's no word on casting just yet.

Rick Alvarez has also been enlisted as a writer and producer along with Fast & Furious and Sonic the Hedgehog's Neal H. Moritz.

“We are thrilled to reunite Scary Movie with the Wayans brothers, the brilliant creators behind the beloved franchise,...

Franchise creators Marlon, Shawn and Keenan Wayans are reuniting for the first time in 18 years to write and produce Scary Movie 6.

Scary Movie arrived at exactly the right time to capture the cultural zeitgeist in 2000. Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer were ripe for ribbing, and in Anna Faris and Regina Hall they found the perfect blend of silliness and deadpan reactions that the central characters of Cindy and Brenda needed to make the film work.

According to Deadline, Shawn, Marlon and Keenan Wayans are reuniting for the first time in 18 years to write Scary Movie 6 for Miramax and Paramount. They will also produce with Rick Alvarez. With the popularity of the Terrifier films and recent legacy sequels and prequels in the Scream and Saw franchises, there’s no shortage of material for them to draw on.

The Wayans said, “We couldn’t be more...

Almost 25 years after Scary Movie first took our cash, credit cards, jewelry and drawers, the iconic film franchise is back for more: Namely, our fleeting sense of aughts nostalgia, 90 minutes of our undivided attention and a $15 theater ticket.

On Tuesday, Marlon Wayans headed to social media with a Halloween-themed announcement, revealing that fans would soon be saying “wazzzuuuuuupppp!!!!!” to a new installment of the beloved horror/comedy series spearheaded by him and his brothers, Shawn and Keenen Ivory Wayans.

“We’Re Back!!!” he captioned a photo of him alongside the series’ goofy killer.

“After nearly 20 years, the Wayans brothers are finally going to give the fans what they’ve been asking for… a return to the Scary Movie franchise!” the post continued. “We’re looking forward to having fun on the big screen again.”

Marking the first time that the Wayans Brothers have been involved in the series since 2001’s Scary Movie 2,...

Three keys stars involved with the Scary Movie franchise have signed on to return for the previously announced reboot.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that a new movie was in the works. It will be the first since Scary Movie 5 premiered in 2013. If you were unaware, the series put a comical spin on horror movies.

On Tuesday (October 29), we learned that three stars who played a central role in the earliest movies were going to work on the new project.

Back in April 2024, we reported that a Scary Movie reboot was in the works. Now, we've just learned that the franchise's creators Keenen Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Marlon Wayans, aka the Wayans Brothers, are returning to produce and write the screenplay for the upcoming reboot, also widely known as Scary Movie 6. The Wayans Brothers' longtime collaborator Rick Alvarez will also help pen the script and produce.

Fans of the Scary Movie franchise were hoping to see the Wayans Brothers come back in some capacity for the sixth movie, and it looks like their wishes came true. Keenen helmed the first two Scary Movies, while Shawn and Marlon helped write the scripts for those films as well as star. They had nothing to do with the last three movies in the franchise.

Paramount Pictures is set as the distributor for Scary Movie 6 and will be releasing it worldwide,...

The Wayans brothers are teaming up for the first time in years to help bring their Scary Movie franchise back to life.

Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Keenen Ivory Wayans are returning to the film series to pen the script for the new project that was announced earlier this year at CinemaCon. Known for satirizing horror flicks, the Scary Movie franchise launched with the first movie hitting theaters in 2000 and spawned four sequels.

Keenen Ivory Wayans wrote and directed the original Scary Movie and its 2001 follow-up, while Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans wrote and starred in those initial two movies. Paramount Pictures will handle global distribution for the forthcoming title through their first-look deal with producer Miramax, which distributed the first three features.

The three Wayans brothers will write and produce the new one with Rick Alvarez. The sixth title in the franchise begins shooting next year ahead of a planned theatrical release.

Eleven years have gone by since the release of a new entry in the Scary Movie horror parody series – but the franchise isn’t going to remain dormant for much longer, and it’s being revived with the help of the people who got it started in the first place: the Wayans Brothers! Back in April, it was announced that the Miramax label at Paramount, which is now operating under new boss Jonathan Glickman, had given the greenlight to a new Scary Movie sequel, with the plan being to get the film into theatres sometime in 2025. That announcement didn’t include any mention of writers or a director – but now Deadline has revealed that Scary Movie 6 marks the return of the Wayans Brothers to the franchise. They haven’t been involved with the Scary Movie series since the second movie.

Scary Movie was developed by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans,...

When a new Scary Movie was announced at CinemaCon earlier this year, many of us had the same thought: Could the Wayans family return to the helm of the franchise they launched in 2000? The answer is a resounding yes, as it was announced today the Wayans Brothers will write and...

We all adore Chris Pratt for that quirky yet adventurous role in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. He has become one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. Pratt began small but he rose through the ranks and soon became part of some major blockbuster franchises. He has shown his versatility through his roles in action blockbusters like Jurassic World and also his comedic roles in sitcoms like Parks and Recreation.

But Pratt isn’t just known for his on-screen success. He is also a family man. The actor, who is currently married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, can often be spotted spending precious time with the family, keeping his stormy profession in check with his lighter self back home. The Lego Movie star and his wife Schwarzenegger are now all set to welcome their third child, and Pratt is thrilled about expanding their family.

How many children does Chris Pratt have?...

Every few months, the Confederated Union of TV Trend Piece Reporters gathers to launch a flotilla of “Is HBO’s Sunday night domination over?” stories.

Game of Thrones ends? “Is HBO’s Sunday night domination over?”

Succession ends? “Is HBO’s Sunday night domination over?”

House of Dragons departs for an indeterminate period of time? “Is HBO’s Sunday night domination over?”

But the cool kids know that while HBO’s Sunday remains a center of beloved prestige programming that waxes and wanes in cyclical waves, if you’re looking for the future of television today, you’re better off turning your attentions to Fridays at 11.

I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again: This is where HBO is putting the good stuff, the weird stuff, the auteur-y stuff, the stuff you can mention at a party and know that anybody who knows what you’re...

If you’ve been on the internet for any length of time since about 2013, you’ve run into the “Florida Man” meme, premised on the idea that, at any given moment, a Florida man is wilding out in a way that’s possibly criminal and definitely irrational. If a man is almost dying getting a lap dance from his housekeeper, snorting coke to hide evidence after fleeing a traffic stop or jogging shirtless in defiance of Hurricane Milton’s imminent landfall, he’s a Florida man. He’s been immortalized in a website, an Instagram feed, a subreddit and quasi-Olympic “Games” where competitors wrestle in muddy water and tussle while holding pitchers of beer. He used to be the subject of a Twitter feed collecting kooky stories, but its curator, Freddie Campion, retired it in 2019. As he told Logan Hill for a piece in the Washington Post that year, Campion shut it down after wondering,...

The “Florida Man” jokes have been online for a few years. The idea is that a person will type those two words into the search engine, and there will be several bizarre articles from legitimate news sites about someone doing something completely bizarre. Now, HBO Max is making a documentary about it.

Here is what you need to know about the new HBO Max docuseries.

HBO Releasing It’s Florida, Man Docuseries

HBO Max is releasing the comedy series It’s Florida, Man, which is part docuseries and part sketch comedy series. Some docuseries bring in actors to play the parts of people the show tells the story of. However, this one brings in actors you will recognize to tell the stories – all of which they claim are true Florida stories.
