In an era where streaming platforms increasingly mine celebrity trauma for content, “The Carters: Hurts to Love You” arrives as something different—a documentary that refuses to exploit its subjects’ pain for entertainment value. Soleil Moon Frye’s two-part Paramount+ series centers on Angel Carter Conrad, the surviving twin of Aaron Carter, who died in 2022 at just 34. Through Angel’s eyes, we witness the systematic destruction of a family that produced two of pop music’s biggest stars: Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys and his younger brother Aaron, whose solo career began when he was barely old enough to tie his shoes.

The Carter family story reads like a cautionary tale written in real time—Nick’s meteoric rise with one of the world’s biggest boy bands, Aaron’s push into stardom at age 10, and the devastating losses that followed: Leslie Carter in 2012, Aaron in 2022, and Bobbie Jean Carter...

Wednesday’s “Tamron Hall” is not to be missed, with two major daytime exclusives that are sure to generate buzz. First up, Meri Brown of TLC’s “Sister Wives” sits down for a candid conversation about the latest season of the reality series. Expect some juicy insights into the ever-evolving dynamics of this unconventional family. Then, in […]

Tamron Hall: Meri Brown, Soleil Moon Frye...

Soleil Moon Frye, director of The Carters: Hurts to Love You, hopes others will see a piece of themselves in the Carter family story.

That was her mission, she tells The Hollywood Reporter when setting out to make the film on the family’s battle with mental health and addiction issues.

Frye’s task was also, she says, to help Angel, twin sister of the late Aaron Carter, share her truth after losing three siblings to addiction. Aaron passed from an accidental drowning after taking drugs in November 2022; Leslie and Bobbie Jean (B.J.) from drug overdoses, as well, in 2012 and 2023.

The Paramount+ documentary, streaming Apr. 15, utilizes a wealth of archival footage from home videos and tapes of siblings Nick, Aaron, Leslie, Bobbie Jean and Angel to offer up an intimate glimpse into how the Carter’s dealt with global fame. The two-part doc tracks Nick’s Backstreet Boys stardom,...

Soleil Moon Frye knew Aaron Carter when he was just a teenager. “He was just this vivacious, bubbly, bright, beautiful light,” she says of the late singer.

When she met Angel Carter Conrad, Aaron’s twin, a few years ago, they connected immediately.

“She had already lost two of her siblings and her father, and in the process of our journey, lost her third sibling,” Frye says. “From the moment that I met her, I was blown away by her courage, her strength, her grace, her love and her beautiful heart. And I really wanted to create a safe space for her to share her story. And I remember saying to the team, ‘If you let me make a documentary that, at its core, is around mental health awareness and addiction told through this incredible, moving story of Angel and the tragedies that her family had gone through, I’m all in.

Prince Carter looks just like his dad Aaron Carter!

The 3-year-old son of the late “I Want Candy” singer, made his red carpet debut alongside mom Melanie Martin at a special screening of The Carters: Hurts to Love You on Wednesday evening (April 9) held at AMC The Grove 14 in Los Angeles.

Prince wore a leather jacket over a Batman T-shirt paired with Batman sneakers as he also posed for photos with his aunt Angel Carter Conrad, who is Aaron‘s twin sister, and director Soleil Moon Frye.

Today, Paramount+ revealed the official trailer and premiere date for its highly anticipated documentary, The Carters: Hurts to Love You. The two-part documentary will premiere on Tuesday, April 15, exclusively on Paramount+.

The Carters: Hurts to Love You takes a deeply personal look at the soaring success and heartbreaking struggles of a family propelled into the spotlight by the meteoric rise of the musical careers of two brothers, Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) and the late pop sensation Aaron Carter.

From director Soleil Moon Frye (Kid 90) and produced by See It Now Studios and Candle True Stories, the documentary unravels the deeply moving story of the Carter family, told by Angel Carter Conrad, the singers’ sister. The film features intimate conversations between the only surviving Carter siblings, Angel and Nick, who confront their complex childhood and the profound tragedies that marked their family.

For the first time, Angel Carter Conrad is sitting down with brother Nick Carter as part of her upcoming documentary, “The Carters: Hurts to Love You.”

In the new trailer for the Paramount+ documentary, Aaron Carter’s twin sister, Angel, tells the story of her family’s many ups and downs through the years — from the rise of Nick’s career with the Backstreet Boys and Aaron’s as a solo artist to the tragic death of three of their siblings.

From director Soleil Moon Frye and produced by See It Now Studios and Candle True Stories, the two-part doc “features intimate conversations between the only surviving Carter siblings, Angel and Nick, who confront their complex childhood and the profound tragedies that marked their family” as well as never-before-seen home videos, photographs, audio recordings and private text messages.

A new documentary examining the musical careers of Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter and late pop singer Aaron Carter is set to release April 15 on Paramount+.

The two-part doc will be told by the brothers’ sister Angel Carter Conrad, and include conversations between Angel and Nick. According to a press release, Angel “unpacks the complicated family dynamics that led to the untimely deaths of three of the original five Carter kids as well as their father.” She will also discuss the “pain, fame, expectations, addiction, assumptions and at the heart of it all,...

On Monday, February 24, co-founder of Cure Addiction Now (Can), a nonprofit dedicated to funding innovative research for substance use disorder (Sud), Nancy Davis welcomed guests to The Beverly Hills Hotel for its Inaugural Fundraising Evening, which raised $800,000.

The inaugural event featured a cocktail reception, seated dinner, live auction and special performances by Rufus Wainwright, Siedah Garrett, David Foster, Madison Love, Colin Love, Scout Willis, and Luke K.

For the first time ever, the event united supporters, advocates and experts to raise critical funds for Can’s groundbreaking initiatives. By fostering collaboration among leading scientists and addressing both addiction and mental health, Can is advancing toward its goal of eliminating the stigma and delivering life-saving solutions. In addition to funding scientific research, a donation will be made from the event to a local center supporting patients who suffer from substance use disorder that have been affected by the fires in Los Angeles.

Soleil Moon Frye is set to direct “The Carters,” a new two-part documentary that looks at the “extreme highs and tragic lows” of the Carter family, including the musical careers of Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter and pop star Aaron Carter, the latter of whom died in 2022.

The doc, produced by See It Now Studios and Candle True Stories, will be from the point of view of Angel Carter Conrad, Aaron’s twin sister; the “sad and eye-opening tale” features new interviews with close family friends, including Melissa Joan Hart and Scout Willis, as well as never-before-seen home movies. “The Carters” will be available to stream later this year on Paramount+.

“This documentary is a labor of love for my family,” Conrad said in a statement. “By sharing our true story, one shaped by loss, resilience, and healing, I hope to honor our journey and transform our past into a...

David W. Duclon, the creator of Punky Brewster who also produced a handful of hit sitcoms, including Silver Spoons, Family Matters, The Jeffersons and Laverne & Shirley, has died. He was 74.

Duclon died Wednesday morning in Franklin, Tennessee, after a long illness, his daughter Danielle Duclon announced.

Born Warren David Duclon on April 27, 1950, in Rockford, Illinois, he first made his way into Hollywood in 1972 as a writer and assistant producer on ABC’s The Odd Couple, starring Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.

As Duclon continued his career in television, he clearly had a knack for sitcoms. He joined ABC’s Happy Days, starring Henry Winkler and Ron Howard, as a writer in 1976, as well as ABC’s Laverne & Shirley, starring Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, that year. He also served as a producer on the latter.

Punky Brewster, which debuted in 1984 and ran for four seasons on NBC and in syndication,...

Top 1980s and 1990s comedy writer-producer David W. Duclon, who created Punky Brewster and co-developed Silver Spoons, died Wednesday morning, January 15, after a long illness. He was 74.

Born Warren David Duclon in Rockford, Il, Duclon started his career as a writer on classic 1970s sitcoms such as The Odd Couple, Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Jeffersons and Diff’rent Strokes.

His first writing credit was on a handful episodes of the The Odd Couple alongside Garry Marshall, who took him under his wing and taught him how to be a showrunner while Duclon worked on his hits Happy Days and spinoff Laverne & Shirley.

Over the next decade, Duclon went on to create a slew of sitcoms of his own. He developed CBS’ 1979 comedy Working Stiffs starring James Belushi and Michael Keaton; co-developed the 1982-debuting Silver Spoons, which ran on NBC for four seasons and another in first-run syndication; and...

Core, the emergency response nonprofit co-founded by Sean Penn and Ann Lee, held its fourth fundraiser during Art Basel Miami on Thursday night, with a guest list that included Leonardo DiCaprio, Diplo, Carmelo Anthony, Alessandra Ambrosio and Soleil Moon Frye.

The event, for which The Hollywood Reporter served as media partner, raised over $1 million to support Core’s focus areas of responding to emergencies, mitigating climate change’s impact and expanding health access to the most vulnerable communities.

The night kicked off with cocktails by the beach soundtracked by a DJ set from Mia Moretti, followed by a seated dinner and live auction, featuring work from artists such as Astro and Max Hooper Schneider. British contemporary artist Chris Levine’s custom “Equanimity (Core Gala), 2024” portrait of Queen Elizabeth adorned in real diamonds was auctioned for $100,000.

Wes Craven is widely known for shaping the horror genre with hits like Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream, but his lesser-known works reveal a filmmaker with a more nuanced approach to storytelling. Although many of his movies didn't achieve the same level of success, they highlight the director-writer-producer's ability to explore deeper themes and push the limits of genre filmmaking, particularly horror movies.

Craven’s work outside his most famous titles often explored darker, more experimental ideas, combining horror with psychologically intense themes. Some of his most underrated movies are not merely about shocking and scaring the viewer; they also examine human nature, fear, and the consequences of societal issues. Titles such as Wes Craven’s New Nightmare and The People Under the Stairs demonstrate Craven’s potential to innovate and challenge expectations, all while continuing to offer a still-fresh perspective on what horror can be. With much-deserved praise for his most popular works,...

Jewel has been tapped perform at Sean Penn’s Core fundraiser gala at Art Basel Miami Beach.

Core, or Community Organized Relief Effort, is a global humanitarian response organization co-founded by Penn and Ann Lee that is dedicated to empowering underserved communities in and beyond crisis. The organization’s programs focus on emergency response and preparedness, addressing climate change and health access.

Core has responded to natural disasters, conflict, food insecurity, disease outbreaks, climate change and public health emergencies on five continents. The organization is currently focused on ongoing humanitarian responses in Ukraine and Sudan amid devastating conflicts, as well as disaster relief and preparedness in the Caribbean and coastal U.S.

Shawn and Serena Levy have found their place with A Sense of Home.

The couple will be honored at the nonprofit’s fourth annual gala, set to take place at the L.A. home of Ted Sarandos and Nicole Avant on Oct. 24. The Levys are longtime champions of the organization, which works to prevent homelessness by creating first homes and a community for youth aging out of the foster care system. Their support is said to have been vital in furthering A Sense of Home’s work.

In a joint statement, the Levys said it’s an honor to be acknowledged for their support “but it is even more of an honor” to contribute to A Sense of Home’s mission and the lives changed by its work, led by founder and CEO Georgie Smith.

Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings was originally released in the UK at a time when I was heavily getting into horror yet was, legally, still too young to rent 18-rated titles from the local video shop (a shop which to this day I credit with the formative years of my movie tastes). It was also at a time when Jeff Burr was being hailed, at least in some corners of the UK and US horror press, as the future of the genre. After all, he had helmed the fan-favourite Vincent Price-starring horror anthology From a Whisper to a Scream and then the very successful sequel The Stepfather 2, before hitting the “big time” as director on the third film in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise.

Melissa Joan Hart reunites with Sabrina the Teenage Witch co-star Soleil Moon Frye. Frye and Elisa Donovan played Sabrina's best friends, Roxie King and Morgan Cavanaugh, providing consistency during cast changes. Hart posted a picture of the reunion as they met up during the July 4th celebration.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch lead star Melissa Joan Hart reunites with one of her co-stars, sharing a sweet photo more than two decades after the finale. Debuting in 1996 and running until 2003, after a transfer from ABC to The WB, the fantasy comedy often changed Hart's co-stars throughout the seasons. Soleil Moon Frye, known for her role as Punky Brewster, and Clueless star Elisa Donovan played the main character's best friends for the last three seasons. Fyre and Donovan portrayed Roxie King and Morgan Cavanaugh, respectively.

Hart shared a photo on Instagram, in which she reunited with Frye. Check it out below:

Special effects master and creature creator Stan Winston is best known for making the monsters seen in such hit films as "The Terminator," "Invaders from Mars," "Aliens," "Alien Nation," "Predator," "Jurassic Park," "Congo," and "The Relic." He also provided makeup and other eerie beings for "The Thing," "Starman," "Edward Scissorhands," "Batman Returns," and "The Island of Dr. Moreau." He received an Oscar nomination in 1982 for his work on the robot comedy "Heartbeeps." His monsters indelibly changed genre cinema for decades, and his death in 2008 was an immeasurable loss. 

Winston also directed a few notable projects. He directed the music videos for Guns N' Roses and Michael Jackson. Winston also helmed the amusement parks-only 3-D "Terminator" interquel "T2 3-D: Battle Across Time" in '96. Winston only ever directed two feature films: the very, very, very odd cop-teams-up-with-a-gnome comedy "A Gnome Named Gnorm" in 1990, and the horrifying monster revenge thriller "Pumpkinhead" in 1988.

Amid a very busy week of Oscar events, Sean Penn’s relief organization Core took a moment to shift the focus from toasting this year’s top films to raising money for ongoing crises around the world.

At Core’s Pre-Oscars Benefit on Tuesday — sponsored by The Hollywood Reporter and Dodge — $1.4 million was raised to finance the group’s humanitarian work, with support from a star-studded group of attendees. Penn, Core CEO Ann Lee and CAA’s Bryan Lourd (who is both Penn’s agent and a Core board member) co-hosted the event, held at a private residence in Laurel Canyon, while Bill Burr served as the night’s emcee.

“This is such a wonderful organization — I’ve done so many benefits in my stand-up career where the charity was B.S., like 10 percent of 10 percent went to something,” Burr told guests at the beginning of the night. “This is actually...

Don’t ever assault a possible witch, light her house on fire, dig up her Pet Semetary backyard and use the vial of blood you found next to her book of the dead to resurrect the town monster, K? Equally, don’t ever watch Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings right after watching the original Pumpkinhead. It’s not meant to happen that way.

Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings forgoes the typical sequel that actually tries to live up to its predecessor and goes straight for the fourth-to-seventh sequel package. It does not pass go nor collect $200 but rather heads straight to video and parks its barely running, smoke engulfed 1993 Ford truck on Camp Avenue. Many hate it for that reason. I understand.

I also happen to enjoy the ever lovin’ shit out of it.

While Stan Winston’s Pumpkinhead featured amazing practical effects and an original monster that was frightening as hell,...

Pharmaceutical giant Gsk is going to dramatic lengths to get consumers thinking about the challenges of Meningitis B.

Rather than pepper Lifetime’s TV schedule with traditional ads about the disease, Gsk has commissioned a short film on the subject, in which actor Soleil Moon Frye talks to parents and experts. Her efforts will show up in a three-minute vignette that appears during certain Lifetime movies; a 17-minute film made available via a bespoke digital site; and in “snackable” lengths via social and other venues. Melissa Joan Hart, who was, like Frye, a popular child actor and is a regular in Lifetime’s movies, will also appear in the vignettes, which will appear on digital outlets first and then on the cable network starting June 25.

“This isn’t a manufactured moment,” says Maura O’Donovan, vice president of ad sales partnerships at A+E Networks, in an interview. “It really is something that is authentic.

For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit the ambitious small screen project “Roger Corman Presents,” which aired from 1995 through 1999 on Showtime.

Not many remember this, but back in the nineties, the cable network Showtime was extremely centered on science fiction and horror genre fare. They were the original launch pads for “Stargate Sg-1” and “Poltergeist: The Legacy” before they became syndication mainstays. Hell, even their marketing was catered to the science fiction and horror aesthetic.

Like Cinemax, Showtime sought to work out distribution deals while releasing their own original films for primetime and late night slots. While Cinemax and HBO worked with Stan Winston, Showtime collaborated with the one and only Roger Corman. With him and his studio Concorde Pictures, they would produce a series of low budget films that would air over the course of two seasons. With the banner “Roger Corman Presents,” Corman and company...

A couple months ago, we looked back at the 1988 film Pumpkinhead with an episode of our Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series. Now we’re moving on to an examination of the 1994 sequel Pumpkinhead 2: Blood Wings (watch it Here) – and since this isn’t exactly one of the most popular sequels around, we’re covering it in an episode of our The Black Sheep video series. To find out why we think Pumpkinhead II deserves more appreciation, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by Jeff Burr from a screenplay written by Constantine Chachornia and Ivan Chachornia, Pumpkinhead 2: Blood Wings has the following synopsis: In a small Kansas town in 1958, a group of teenagers torture and kill a disfigured orphan named Tommy. After 35 years, another gang of teens robs the cabin of an old witch. Using some blood and a spell taken from her house, the...

The series is a revival/sequel of the groundbreaking Disney Channel series, "The Proud Family," and had an incredible first season filled with impressive guest stars, moving storylines, and plenty of wonderful new characters to love. The series recently won "Outstanding Casting for An Animated Program" at the inaugural Children's & Family Emmy Awards, proving that "The Proud Family" is here to stay. The series is a coming-of-age family comedy centered on Penny Proud as she navigates the transitional years between childhood and adulthood, and all of the generational growing pains that come along with it.

With the second season just around the corner, here's everything we know, and more, to prepare for the return.

Auctioning off artwork from Leonardo DiCaprio’s personal collection, Wyclef Jean’s guitar and a trip to Rio for a private concert with singer Anitta helped Sean Penn’s disaster relief organization, Core (Community Organized Relief Effort), raise over 1 million in just a few hours on Wednesday night in Miami.

Held at Soho House Beach and timed to the annual Art Week, which blankets the city with celebrities, socialites, art collectors and their major spending power, DiCaprio, Jared Leto, Soleil Moon Frye, Nyle Dimarco, The Webster’s Laure Heriard Dubreuil and Aaron Young, Patricia Velasquez, Diplo, Rande Gerber and many more, all turned up to support the boots-on-the-ground network, founded in 2010, that first responds to crisis around the world.

This article contains Twin Peaks: The Return spoilers

“Is It future? Or is it past?”

When the One-Armed Man Mike (Al Strobel) posed that question to Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) in the second part of Twin Peaks: The Return, he may very well have been echoing the thoughts of the viewers. After all, Mike asked that question while sitting in the Red Room, the interdimensional waiting room that became the signature location during the original two-season run of Twin Peaks, and the 1992 prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. In fact, Cooper wore the exact same suit and tie combo, and sat in the same chair from the original series.

Before Cooper could answer, Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) entered the room, decked in the same black dress that she wore in the season two finale. Although MacLachlan and Lee had both clearly aged in the two and...

“The Proud Family” and Disney+ will always be tight. “Louder and Prouder,” the revival of the classic Disney Channel series, has been renewed for a second season on the streamer.

A revival of the original animated series, which first aired on Disney Channel from 2001 to 2005, “The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” premiered in February, and follows the adventures of Penny Proud (Kyla Pratt), an ordinary 14-year old girl navigating school and her dysfunctional family.

The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder, from creator Bruce W.

Of course, it would not be The Proud Family without Penny’s loyal crew Dijonay Jones, Lacienega Boulevardez and Zoey Howzer, among others.

"The Proud Family" is getting revived 21 years after it first debuted on the Disney Channel. "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder" picks right back up where the original left off, with 14-year-old Penny Proud (Kyla Pratt) coming into her own and navigating the modern-day world with her friends and family by her side.
