A new biography by Amy Odell offers an unflinching look at Gwyneth Paltrow’s life and career, from Hollywood royalty to wellness mogul. “Gwyneth: The Biography,” out now, traces the Oscar-winning actor’s journey from childhood — as the daughter of actor Blythe Danner and director-producer Bruce Paltrow — to addressing the infamous allegation that she stole the “Shakespeare in Love” script from Winona Ryder. Odell draws on more than 200 interviews with people who know or have worked with Paltrow. Notably, Paltrow herself did not participate in the interviews.

Variety has reached out to Paltrow’s rep for comment.

Read on for 11 of the biggest revelations from “Gwyneth: The Biography.”

1. Paltrow’s father, director-producer Bruce Paltrow, was furious when she signed with her first manager, Joanne Horowitz, who, at the time, repped a then-unknown Kevin Spacey.

Shortly after graduating from high school in 1990, Paltrow appeared in a stage production of “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,...

Rob Lowe was great on 9-1-1: Lone Star, and it’s a shame that the show concluded.

Now Ryan Murphy has a golden opportunity to revisit that well.

The 9-1-1 universe is expanding with a new spin-off this fall.

And the new show is led by Chris O’Donnell, Jessica Capshaw, LeAnn Rimes, and Kimberly Williams-Paisley.

As a matter of fact, Don Sharpe marks O’Donnell’s first show and role following his run as G. Callen on NCIS: Los Angeles.

Having O’Donnell back on TV is going to be a fun treat, and I can’t wait for the season premiere.

He is the perfect choice to work as a firefighter on the spin-off, and some fun names would surround him.

Unfortunately, 9-1-1: Lone Star...

9-1-1: Nashville released a suspenseful new trailer!

ABC just dropped the promo for the newest spinoff series of the 9-1-1 franchise. In the clip, firefighters appear to be chasing a flaming tornado while a cover of Johnny Cash‘s “Ring of Fire” plays.

Meanwhile, executive producer Tim Minear recently explained the choice behind the show’s setting.

“There were a lot of possibilities that had been talked about. I think that it’s a really interesting city with its own personality. It’s very unlike Austin. We did kind of a red state 9-1-1, but Austin is a very blue town. Nashville felt even a little bit more Southern. It also has the country music industry, and it just felt like it could be a fun place to set a piece of the franchise,” he told TVLine.

“Quite frankly, Tennessee is very production-friendly.

9-1-1star Kenneth Choi opens up about his character's future on the series.

Speaking to TV Insider, Choi responded to the question of whether his character, Howard "Chimney" Han, might be ready to step into the role of Captain in the upcoming ninth season of 9-1-1. "No. Chimney’s not ready for any type of dutiful responsibilities whatsoever. Never," Choi replied.

9-1-1 had plenty of major shakeups in its eighth season, not the least of which was the shocking death of Peter Krause's Captain Bobby Nash in the season's fifteenth episode, "Lab Rats." In the episode, Nash sacrifices his own life in order to save the rest of his team from a lethal, fast-moving virus. The loss of Nash hit the series' main cast of characters about as hard as they could imagine, and made some major waves with the stars of the show, as well.

Hollywood icon Rob Lowe is open to returning to the 9-1-1 franchise. However, the actor says he will have to check with his brother, Chad Lowe, who works on the series.

Speaking via Deadline, Lowe addressed a potential return to his iconic role as Captain Owen Strand in the upcoming 9-1-1: Nashville spinoff series. "Well, I'll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother. See, all my family are gatekeepers to my own future business now," he joked. "Chad Lowe is the executive producer and director of 9-1-1: Nashville. And so I'm just waiting for my phone to ring.I mean, you know, I hired him on Lone Star. I think turnabout is fair play."

Lowe previously starred as Captain Owen Strand of Fire Station 126 in Austin, Texas throughout the entirety of9-1-1: Lone Star's five-season run. A spinoff of the main 9-1-1 series, the show maintained the...

Rob Lowe has revealed his desire to reprise his 9-1-1: Lone Star role in the upcoming spinoff show 9-1-1: Nashville. Lowe starred in 9-1-1: Lone Star as Captain Owen Strand, a New York firefighter, diagnosed with lung cancer, who moved to the 126 in Austin, Texas to rebuild the team. 9-1-1: Lone Star ran for five seasons on Fox, and Lowe's arc ended when Owen returned to New York City to become a fire chief there.

Per TV Line, Lowe revealed that he would be excited about a return to the franchise, and that his brother, Chad Lowe, serves as the executive producer and director on 9-1-1: Nashville, so he is awaiting a call. Lowe stated he'd need to ask his brother about the possibility of a role on the show, before joking that he hired his brother for 9-1-1: Lone Star,...

Rob Lowe is stoking the idea of reprising his role as Owen Strand, this time on 9-1-1: Nashville.

Lowe, who led all five seasons of Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star, recently spoke with Decider about his chances of guest-starring on ABC’s upcoming Nashville-set installment of the first responder franchise, basically saying that he’d jump at the opportunity to make it happen.

Although 9-1-1: Lone Star has answered its last call, Rob Lowe is ready to get back in the field as Captain Owen Strand.

The 6x Golden Globe nominee recently addressed his potential return to the character on the upcoming Nashville spinoff, for which his brother Chad Lowe serves as a co-executive producer and director.

“Well, I’ll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother. See, all my family are gatekeepers to my own future business now,” joked Rob to Decider after starring with his son John Owen Lowe in Netflix’s 2023-’24 series Unstable.

Rob starred as Capt. Strand of Austin’s Fire Engine 126 for the Lone Star‘s five-season run, which ended on Fox in February. Chad also appeared on the spinoff as Owen’s estranged, dying brother Robert Strand in Seasons 3-5, in addition to directing several episodes of both Lone Star and the parent series,...

9-1-1 crossovers have been rare over the years — due to scheduling and budget — for the original series and Lone Star, which ended after five seasons on Fox in February 2025. Besides one in which three members of the 118 (9-1-1) headed to Austin to help out with a wildfire, there were just mentions and minor characters appearing. But could that change with the newest spinoff, 9-1-1: Nashville, joining ABC’s lineup this fall? Rob Lowe, who played Captain Owen Strand for all five seasons of Lone Star, is open to it. “Well, I’ll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother,” he told Decider. (Chad Lowe played Owen’s half-brother and directed episodes of 9-1-1 and Lone Star.) “Chad Lowe is the executive producer, director of 9-1-1: Nashville. And so I’m just waiting for my phone to ring. I mean, you know, I hired him on Lone Star. I think turnabout is fair play.

After five seasons, 9-1-1: Lone Star aired its final episode earlier this year, bidding farewell to Rob Lowe's Captain Owen Strand for what appeared to be the final time. Now, ABC is turning to a new spin-off to fill the void in 9-1-1: Nashville, complete with a new team all under the control of the canceled series's old showrunner, Rashad Raisani. Strand's story may not be over just yet, however. In a recent conversation with Decider about his Atkins partnership, Lowe was asked about the possibility of popping in for the Tennessee-based show when it premieres this fall, and not only did he express an openness to the idea, but he cited a more personal connection to the show he could hit up about making that a reality — his brother, Chad Lowe.

"Well, I’ll have to ask Chad Lowe, my brother," the star responded.

From 2007 to 2014 and across 138 episodes, writer, director, producer, and actor John Francis Daley played Dr. Lance Sweets on "Bones," Hart Hanson's beloved procedural series about forensic anthropologists solving cold cases. Did you know, though, that Daley also wrote one of those episodes?

The season 6 episode "The Truth in the Myth" — which was written by Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein, directed by Chad Lowe, and came out in 2011 — focuses on a case involving a man who worked as a "mythbuster" named Lee Coleman (Leigh McCloskey) who, it's believed, died in some sort of incident with the mythical Chupacabra. After Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her team keep investigating, they find all sorts of different animal traces on the corpse, including bite marks, scales from reptiles, and hair from mammals, though the pragmatic Bones remains convinced that it's all some sort of hoax.

Bones is, as usual, right. The weird...

The Screen Actors Guild Awards have given us many moments to cherish but the greatest thing was witnessing the legendary ex-couples who made grand entrance on the red carpet of the award ceremony.

Grant Gustin revealed his initial reaction to The Flash's "Duet" episode. Fans consider that Supergirl crossover a highlight of the Arrowverse, especially Kara Danvers and Barry Allen's musical number.

The Flash was the best show in The CW's Arrowverse. Fans went through a rollercoaster of emotions across nine seasons of The Flash, especially its crossover episodes. Season 3's "Duet" caught audiences by surprise, however; the plot involved Kara Danvers and Barry Allen trapped in a musical dreamworld. "Duet" was surreal because it broke from the show's grounded narrative, but audiences loved the novelty. Critics praised "Duet" for its lighthearted tone and endearing ensemble, but Grant Gustin had reservations about filming that episode; he told Michael Rosenbaum that "Duet" was an odd turn for the show.

Related'Changed My Life': Grant Gustin Reflects on The Flash Role on 10th Anniversary

Grant Gustin reflects on starting his run on The Flash on the Arrowverse show's 10th anniversary.

The CW's The Flash Star John Wesley Shipp has talked about the immediate connection he had with his co-star and fellow Barry Allen actor Grant Gustin. Shipp starred as the titular DC character in 1990's The Flash CBS series before returning to play Gustin's father, Henry Allen, in the Arrowverse.

The Flash franchise veteran Shipp discussed the length of his tenure as the Scarlet Speedster and his relationship with his co-star Gustin at Megacon. In response to Cbr's question about how long he has been involved with the character, he stated, "35 years. As many years as Grant Gustin has been alive." Shipp continued, "It was an immediate connection. This is a guy who's a truthful actor. He knew I'd been the Flash, and I knew what he was taking on." In addition to playing Barry Allen in CBS' The Flash and Henry Allen in The CW's iteration, Shipp also starred as Jay Garrick,...

Having played the iconic DC character the Flash longer than anyone, Grant Gustin has now given insight into how he kept the Scarlet Speedster fresh for so long. Gustin played the Barry Allen incarnation of the character in The CW's The Flash for nine seasons and also appeared in crossovers and other shows across the Arrowverse.

Gustin told Cbr at Megacon that the show retained its freshness because he took the responsibility of playing the Flash seriously. "It was never an intentional thought about how to keep it fresh," he began. "I'm a very scene-by-scene actor. I wanted to keep it realistic. The only reason I did a decent job with the show is I took it very seriously. Try not to suck." Gustin's dedication to playing the Crimson Comet has always been evident in interactions with fans throughout his years of playing the character in the show that ended its run two years ago.

When a TV show has an unforgettable pilot episode, it instantly pulls viewers in for what's to come next. Whether it be the characters, the high-quality production, or the unexpected twists, people grow curious about where the story will go. However, if the series finale is disappointing and poorly conceived, the ending could leave a noticeable stain on the show's legacy and become a part of television infamy.

Shockingly, these TV shows had the best of both worlds since they started so strongly to pull viewers in, only for the final episode to cause them to question whether the investment was worth it. They became the proper definition of having a journey that is far better than the destination. While that first episode will always remain a classic, fans prefer not to think about the underwhelming finale. These criteria are applied to multiple popular shows, such as Game of Thrones,...

TV crossover events have seen plenty of ups and downs over the years. For every "Crisis on Infinite Earths" or "Scoobynatural," television studios typically make half a dozen misguided cash-ins in a desperate attempt to expand each show's unique viewing audience. So, where does that leave the often-forgotten conversion between one of Fox's most beloved procedural series, Bones, and one of their most forgotten, Sleepy Hollow?

"SleepyBones," as some fans took to calling it, saw forensic anthropologist Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel) and her longtime FBI partner Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) team up with the no-nonsense FBI agent Abbie Mills (Nicole Berharie) and her 18th Century time-traveling partner, Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison), to investigate a crime that only their combined might can potentially solve. This unexpected collaboration was a shock to fans of both Bones and Sleepy Hollow, and it ultimately resulted in one of the strangest — and most underappreciated — crossover episodes in TV history.

It is not uncommon for TV stars to direct episodes of the series on which they appear. Alan Alda, Mike Farrell, Harry Morgan and David Ogden Stiers all directed more than one episode of "M*A*S*H;" Peter Bonerz became a prolific director of television shows and films after directing 29 episodes of "The Bob Newhart Show;" and Penny Marshall might never have brought us such big screen classics as "Big" and "A League of Their Own" had she not started out directing on "Laverne & Shirley."

For the directing curious, the set of a long-running television show is a great place to cut one's teeth, so it's no surprise that two members of the Jeffersonian Institute Medico-Legal Lab found their way behind the camera during the 12-season run of "Bones." The most frequent guest in video village was David Boreanaz, who played the hard-charging FBI Agent Seeley Booth. He...

9-1-1 guest star Lou Ferrigno Jr. reveals that his return as Tommy Kinard may depend on another series. It's in the sixth episode of 9-1-1 season 8 that Tommy and Buck (Oliver Stark) break up. Ferrigno's character decides to end the relationship, gently, essentially believing that Buck is moving too fast and putting too much stock in a relationship that isn't built to last. The episode, "Confessions," ends with Buck sharing a beer with his best friend Eddie (Ryan Guzman) on the couch.

In an interview with Fangirlish, Ferrigno addressed whether the couch scene meant that Eddie and Buck would finally be getting together. Although the actor doesn't answer that question directly, he talks about how his 9-1-1 return depends on his involvement with the CBS action drama S.W.A.T. since he's been recurring on that series since the beginning as Donovan Rocker. In the quote below, Ferrigno adds that...

This article contains spoilers for 9-1-1 season 8, episode 6, "Confessions"

9-1-1 star Ryan Guzman talks about that pivotal scene between Eddie and Buck that closes out 9-1-1 season 8, episode 6. Titled "Confessions", the sixth installment of the season represents a bit of a reversal in the mood of the two friends. Eddie (Guzman) has finally taken steps to allow himself to experience joy, while Buck (Oliver Stark) is feeling a bit depressed after the end of yet another romantic relationship. Buck shows up at Eddie's door in the final minutes of "Confessions", and the two friends share a beer.

In an interview with Screen Rant's Rachel Foertsch, Guzman reflects on the scene between Buck and Eddie. Asked to elaborate on the significance of what the two 9-1-1 characters are going through, the actor elaborates on how the two of them are having very different experiences:

It's known that the episode will see Eddie Diaz (Ryan Guzman) deal with his feelings of missing his son Christopher (Gavin McHugh). But there are also developments for the rest of the ABC drama's ensemble.

In comments to Entertainment Weekly, co-creator and showrunner Tim Minear talked about "Confessions", which airs tonight at 8 Pm Et on ABC.

His roles have covered various genres, from psychological thrillers to historical dramas, demonstrating a deep understanding of intricate characters.

Quietly stepping away from the limelight with grace, Sutherland has left behind a lasting legacy that continues to inspire even after his untimely passing in 2024.

While Sutherland is commonly known for his outstanding performances in major films like Klute and The Hunger Games franchise, many of his finest performances can be found in lesser-known, underappreciated films.

911: Lone Star fans are in for a bittersweet time this fall. After taking a whole year off due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes, the series is finally ready to return. Sadly, this comes with the confirmation this will be the last season for the first responder drama.

Many young stars were rising in Hollywood during the 1980s. It was one of the most critical decades in movie production due to its switch from focusing on films directed at adults to tween and teen flicks.

The '80s was an excellent decade for young movie fans. However, some movie stars, including Rob Lowe, had less fun, especially after journalist David Blum labeled them "The Brat Pack" in 1985.

Here's how Rob Lowe went from being a Brat Packer to being a family man and changed how he was perceived in Hollywood.

The Humble Origins of the Lowes

The term "Hollywood Icon" didn't always apply to Rob Lowe.

He was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, on March 17, 1964, but spent most of his childhood living in Dayton, Ohio.

The Season 4 finale, which saw T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein) and Carlos (Rafael L.

Recasting a character in a TV show can have significant effects on the trajectory of the series. Creative differences or a lack of audience connection can prompt the need for a recast. Recasting can inject new life into a series and allow showrunners to align characters with their creative vision.

Casting is a crucial aspect in creating a TV show, as an actor's ability to bring a character to life can significantly impact the success of the series. Occasionally, creative differences or a lack of audience connection may prompt the need to recast a character after the show has begun. Introducing a new actor to portray a character audiences have already started to know can have intriguing effects on the show's trajectory, for better or worse. When a series first begins, the cast and crew are still finding their footing.

They’re referring to her looks, but one could just as easily be talking about her career. At what point was Hilary Swank hot in her career? In 2008, when the episode aired: Yeah. In the years between her Oscars? Not exactly. Now? No. So, let’s take a look and find out…Wtf Happened to…Hilary Swank?

But to truly understand what the fuck happened to Hilary Swank, we go back to the beginning. And the beginning began when she was born on July 30th, 1974, in Lincoln, Nebraska. As a youth, Swank bounced around a bit, going from Nebraska to Washington to California, developing a love for both gymnastics (Junior Olympian; state finalist) and acting (appearing in The Jungle Book at 9 as Mowgli...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 finale “Best of Men” and “In Sickness and in Health.”] 9-1-1: Lone Star ended its fourth season with happiness and tragedy. In the days leading up to the Tarlos wedding. Carlos’ (Rafael Silva) father was murdered when he answered his door one night; his killer has yet to be found. And while the wedding was almost postponed, T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein) and Carlos did get married. But there was another death: Owen (Rob Lowe) agreed to his brother Robert’s (Chad Lowe) request that he help him die by being with him; his Huntington’s symptoms were progressively getting worse.

Rafael Silva: Tim [Minear] started pitching the idea of something happening to Gabriel, and as ...

Tuesday’s 9-1-1: Lone Star finale may feature the long-awaited #TarlosWedding — an event so monumental, it begs to be hashtagged — but it’s not a joyous occasion for everyone in the 126.

As you may recall, though you’ve probably tried to forget, last week’s episode ended with poor Wyatt getting hit by a car and ending up in the hospital, hence Judd being a total mess in TVLine’s exclusive sneak peek of Tuesday’s finale.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 Episode 16, “A House Divided.”] The latest 9-1-1: Lone Star is tough for Judd (Jim Parrack) — and that’s before the shocking twist at the end! First, Tommy (Gina Torres) disobeys his order during a call; he’s filling in as captain while Owen (Rob Lowe) is away with his half-brother Robert (Chad Lowe). Judd and Tommy fight immediately after the incident, and his wife Grace (Sierra McClain) and her boyfriend Trevor (D.B. Woodside) join in during one of the most entertaining dinner scenes on television. But none of that matters after Tommy discovers that a young man on a bicycle hit by a truck is Judd’s son Wyatt (Jackson Pace). At the end of the episode, he’s in surgery with confirmed brain swelling and several broken vertebrae. Parrack takes us inside the episode and teases what’s ahead in the two-part finale (yes, including ...

It was a night of firsts, lasts and an upset win as TV’s finest gathered together to celebrate the 45th Primetime Emmy Awards on ABC on September 19, 1993. Even the host made history — in more ways than one. Read on for our Emmys flashback 30 years ago to 1993.

For the first time ever, the ceremony was hosted solely by a female — who was also, ironically, the unluckiest actress in Emmy history. Up for her 13th Emmy nomination that evening, Angela Lansbury guided the ceremony with her usual grace. Lansbury passed away in 2022, with the record of most Best Drama Actress bids as well as the record for most overall nominations without a win at 18. However, she wasn’t the only one nominated at this ceremony who has never won despite numerous nominations, or the only one to lay claim to an unfortunate record.

After a stellar year in 1992, reigning Best Drama...

First things first, we got a renewal! It's always a relief when you can enjoy the rest of the season without fear that the series' future will hang in the balance.

They're hitting us hard with some Grace Ryder content on the back end, and 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 Episode 15 predominately focused on how a case got under her skin and prompted her to take down an organ trafficking ring with help from Carlos.

Carlos and Grace are one of the most underrated duos in this series.

We were also dealt an emotionally crushing blow to Owen as it saw Chad Lowe's return as Owen's half-brother, Robert, with some devastating health news that could affect both Owen and T.K.

And there was also a special reunion treat for Firefly fans with Adam Baldwin guest-starring and even sharing a brief scene with Gina Torres.

There was a...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 Episode 15 “Donors.”] Brothers reunite on and offscreen in the latest episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star … but it leaves the Strand family’s future a bit uncertain. Chad Lowe returns to his brother Rob Lowe’s drama as Robert in “Donors,” and at first, there’s definitely joy. Owen’s half-brother meets his nephew T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein) — who seems to love having an “Uncle Robert” — and T.K.’s fiancé Carlos (Rafael Silva) over dinner. Robert shows photos of his daughters (and hesitates with the name of the second) before handing over “relics” from his and Owen’s father, including a journal for T.K. to get to know his grandfather. But then, at the end of the episode, we find out why Robert really wants to spend whatever time he can with his brother. As the two share their father’s “most prized possession” (an expensive ...

As far as 9-1-1: Lone Star goes, it doesn’t get much more more intense — or heartbreaking — than Tuesday’s episode.

The hour largely centered around a kidney harvesting ring in Austin, one to which Grace developed a personal connection after a victim she helped over the phone ended up dying in the hospital. When the authorities looked at this young woman more like a criminal than a victim, as is the case with so many Black and brown women, Grace felt she had no choice but to step in and find the guy who took her kidney.

Let's first take a moment to celebrate that 9-1-1: Lone Star got a renewal!

There's no more perfect news to hear as we gear up for another solid hour of the series with tonight's 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 4 Episode 15.

And to get all of you in the mood, TV Fanatic scored a fiery first look at an explosive hour. Do you see what we did there?

For Grace and Carlos fans, it's the type of hour one can't wait to see. The two fan-favorite characters are great on their own, but as we've learned over the years, they're even better when they're together.

And when a case gets too personal for Grace, she turns to Carlos, as the duo works toward taking down a black market organ trafficking operation.

Yes, it sounds so outlandish that you know it will be good. And it keeps in theme...
