British royal family news reveals that Meghan Duchess of Sussex Markle’s past “work” is recognized on the British royal family’s official website. Before Meghan married the man formerly known as Prince, Harry, she was a cable actress and unknown blogger.

Both of these activities are mentioned in regard to Meghan Markle’s past, on the page about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But what happens now that she has a bunch of failed and non-existent projects in the works? It’s a dilemma indeed.

Meghan Markle, Basic Cable Actress

According to GeoTV the website “mentions her work in TV series “Suits” and her blog “The Tig.” It goes on to say that “Prior to her marriage to The Duke of Sussex in 2018, The Duchess worked as an actress, appearing in film and television. She most notably played the role of Rachel Zane on the series Suits for seven seasons,...

Sorry We’re Closed quickly immerses players in its multifaceted exploration of love and survival. It begins with Michelle waking up cursed with a third eye by the towering, neon-drenched evil, The Duchess. Michelle’s three-day mission to break free from The Duchess’ curse is about more than just literal survival; it’s also about confronting her shattered relationship history and emotional stagnation.

The curse does more than just open her third eye; it forces her to confront the raw truths of the people (and demons) around her and the messy nature of love in all its manifestations. Her daily life, once defined by regularity and detachment, is now fraught with risk, introspection, and a desperate want for connection.

Sorry We’re Closed is a game about love, whether romantic, platonic, communal, or self-directed. The story masterfully contrasts the celestial idealism of pure, unspoiled love with the demonic need for...

Exclusive: After more than a decade, Silver Lining Entertainment, the management and production company founded by veterans Jeff Golenberg and Sam Maydew, is dissolving.

Golenberg and fellow Silver Lining partner Jason Shapiro have launched Strand Entertainment, a management and production company based in Los Angeles, bringing most of Silver Lining’s managers with them. Maydew has formed his own management/production company, 734 Media. The split we hear was amicable, with the former partners’ paths diverging, a process accelerated by the pandemic.

Joining Golenberg and Shapiro in their new venture are longtime colleagues Tarik Kanafani, Emily Rifanburg, Kaelyn Hutchins, and Aileen Lewis. Jeff’s brother, manager/producer Rob Golenberg, who was a partner at Silver Lining, has formed GoGi Entertainment, a new production company focused on international productions, with his former assistant Paulina Giron Velasquez. He also plans to continue to work alongside the Strand principals and their joint production entity,...

According to a report, new Doctor Who companion Millie Gibson is leaving after her first series, and her replacement has been cast.

We’ve only had one hour of Ncuti Gatwa’s era of Doctor Who. However, in production terms, the second series is currently filming, and willl be broadcast in 2025.

While there are many advantages to filming so far ahead, one of the disadvantages is that information is harder to keep contained.

Which leads us to some news that was first reported by The Mirror – so do take it with a pinch of salt – but the story’s been picked up by a lot of websites, and it looks as though there’s something in this.

Apparently, Millie Gibson will leave Doctor Who after the 2024 Christmas Special. The new companion is said to be Varada Sethu, who is best known for starring in Neil Cross’ apocalyptic drama Hard Sun.

Jack Black has been transformed into Disney Princesses in a collection of AI fan art images that are both hilarious and unsettling. The post featuring the images received a lot of attention and even sparked discussions about Disney turning it into a reality. AI can be used in entertainment to create imaginative scenarios like this when done right, without exploiting it to cut costs and cause issues.

Jack Black is not above being outrageous both on and off screen, but a new piece of AI fan art that focuses on the School of Rock star may have taken things to an extreme even he could never have imagined. Walking a line between hilarity and lucid nightmare, a collection of images puts Black into the roles – and dresses – of several Disney Princesses. Venture into this disturbing branch of the multiverse if you dare.

The BBC has recently published an overview article on Doctor Who's upcoming episodes, but some information concerning the release date of Season 14 has since been removed.

With Doctor Who's 60th-anniversary specials fast approaching, fans are wondering when exactly the three celebratory episodes will drop. The audience has known for some time that David Tennant's reign as the Fourteenth Doctor will begin and end in Nov. 2023 since Nov. 23, 1963, is the date the first episode aired. The BBC has established this release window in the new article, but hasn't given a specific date yet, simply saying, "The 14th season of Doctor Who begins streaming in November as part of the show's 60th anniversary, and will be available on Disney+ globally for fans outside of the UK."

“I study every day and I read every single book ever published on Star Wars, especially the ones that interviewed George Lucas specifically, where he was talking to his designers,” reveals Shawna Trpcic. “I want his foundational words.” That foundation comes in handy for her work as costume designer on “The Mandalorian.” The Disney+ series asks her to stretch her imagination into the far reaches of the galaxy. The designer picked up an Emmy nomination in the Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes category, thanks to her ability to craft the fashion trends of an entirely new planet. Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Trpcic is Emmy-nominated for the episode “Chapter 22: Guns for Hire,” which takes viewers to the planet of Plazir-15. We get a glimpse of the planet’s high society thanks to flamboyant rulers Captain Bombardier and The Duchess (Lizzo). “This was sort of tapping into that childlike part of...

Editor's Note: The following contains minor spoilers from Season 3 Episode 6 of The Mandalorian.The Mandalorian has a long history of exploring new worlds in the galaxy, introducing worlds like Nevarro and Sorgan. While Season 3 focuses more on Mandalore, the element of exploration is still present, with the new planet introduced in Episode 6, "Guns for Hire," Plazir-15. This place is a self-described paradise. Recently free from the throes of the Empire, Plazir-15 refused to join the New Republic, instead becoming an independent planet. Plazir-15 founded an elective monarchy as they rebuilt the planet, relying on a direct democracy to decide their rulers. Despite the difficulty of independence, the citizens don't seem to like hard work. Luckily, the new society, now led by The Duchess (Lizzo) and Captain Bombardier (Jack Black), no longer requires people to work. Instead, they can lounge the day away and participate in the democratic system. But without workers,...

Lizzo has shared some behind-the-scene moments from her appearance in The Mandalorian’s latest episode.

In the episode, titled “Chapter 22: Guns for Hire”, the pop singer baffled fans with her surprise appearance as The Duchess, opposite Jack Black as her partner Captain Bombardier – two characters whom Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), Grogu and Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) meet on their travels.

The day after the episode’s release, Lizzo described the opportunity as “a dream I never thought was possible” in an Instagram post, sharing on-set photos of her in costume.

“When I was a young girl my dad introduced me to Star Wars like a rite of passage. The trilogies are his favourite movies and quickly became mine,” the “About Damn Time” singer wrote.

“When [director] Jon Favreau called me and offered the role of The Duchess I cried all day wishing my dad was still with us cus he’d be so proud.

Fans of The Mandalorian have been left divided by a pair of high-profile guest stars in the latest episode of the Star Wars spin-off.

Released on Disney+ on Wednesday (5 April), the episode “Chapter 22: Guns for Hire”, saw Jack Black and Lizzo play an eccentric couple.

The pop musician and School of Rock star appeared as “The Duchess” and her partner “Captain Bombardier” respectively, two characters whom Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), Grogu and Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) meet on their travels.

The episode also featured Back to the Future’s Christopher Lloyd, who played Commissioner Helgait.

However, it was Black and Lizzo who drew the strongest reactions from the Star Wars fanbase, with viewers sharing their thoughts on social media after watching.

Pointint to a scene in which Lizzo’s character awards Grogu (aka “Baby Yoda”) with a knighthood, one fan wrote: “Lizzo just knighted Baby yoda aka grogu. What is happening in Star Wars?...

This season of "The Mandalorian" is kind of a mess. Season two gave us two clear objectives that seemed to define Din Djarin's story: go to Mandalore and bring Grogu to his people. These are cool yet simple goals with plenty of opportunities to drive the plot for awhile.

However, we already finished both quests already, leaving this season to seem rather aimless. The only thing driving the plot seems to be the drive to rebuild Mandalore now, despite that not being something that is easily achieved in a season of TV like this without doing a bunch of time skips like "House of the Dragon." Indeed, though the Mando-verse is presumably pointing to a massive crossover event down the line, the flagship show that started it all is going through a messy period. 

For instance, Din Djarin has become a side character in his own story, even more than before,...

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers.

If you were wondering whether The Mandalorian season 3 would deliver the same number of cameos as past seasons, it’s safe to say that “Guns for Hire” has more than answered your question. The episode, which takes Din, Grogu, and Bo-Katan to the planet of Plazir-15 on a search for Mandalorians, is absolutely full of guest appearances that will take fans by surprise. There are three particularly shocking ones.

But this episode isn’t just about cameos. There are also plenty of easter eggs and references to other Star Wars stories sprinkled throughout “Guns for Hire.” Here are the ones we found…

Lizzo as The Duchess

Melissa Viviane Jefferson, better known as the talented singer-songwriter and rapper Lizzo, makes her Star Wars debut in this episode as The Duchess of Plazir-15. Lizzo is of course one of the most popular artists performing today,...

Warning! This article contains Spoilers for The Mandalorian season 3, episode 6.

The Mandalorian season 3, episode 6 "Guns For Hire" surprised fans by featuring Jack Black and Lizzo, with each character's story building off the wider Star Wars timeline. In addition to the main plot with Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze, The Mandalorian season 3 has spent a good portion of its runtime on supporting characters, both for developing long-term story threads and for exploring the state of the galaxy after Return of the Jedi. The Mandalorian season 3, episode 6's new characters do a bit of both, and while the episode may have spent too much time on this tangent, Black and Lizzo give memorable performances and have good chemistry.
