Although Lindsay Lohan says in an interview with Perri Nemiroff that director Nisha Ganatra said, "We're not doing Easter eggs," "Freakier Friday" has plenty of playful allusions to both the original movie and Lohan's career that will make any fan of hers and millennium pop culture smile. In Ethan Anderton's /Film review of "Freakier Friday," he praises director Nisha Ganatra and writer Jordan Weiss for using "callbacks and other returning characters sparingly and naturally." Anna rocks that iconic cherry-red guitar, Mr. Bates enjoys torturing his students, and we're still swooning over Chad Michael Murray's Jake. Over 20 years later, Anna isn't romantically involved with Jake anymore, which makes perfect sense, since most people don't end up marrying their high school sweetheart.

"Freakier Friday" doesn't bludgeon you over the head with nostalgia or try too hard to replicate the original, but it does give gentle winks to Lindsay Lohan's career in...

Miraculously, the future founder of TVLine and author of Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies saved every handwritten script, and for the past year has been staging sold-out cold readings of the episodes at Los Angeles’ iconic Dynasty Typewriter.

Hellboy's Ron Perlman is heading back to a familiar genre in the horror comedy Horrified. He joins an impressive cast that also includes Dexter alum Julie Benz and Mean Girls star Busy Philipps.

Deadline reports that Benz plays a horror genre icon who decides to hit the convention circuit in order to make some quick money. However, the one-time scream queen will unexpectedly find herself and her fans terrorized by a serial killer wearing the same grotesque pig mask from her movies.

Horrified will be the feature directorial debut for filmmaker Michael Zara, who has also penned the screenplay. Zara got his start as a staff writer and story editor for three seasons on the TNT drama series Major Crimes. He previously delved into the horror genre for the Syfy original movie Letters to Satan Claus, about a journalist (played by Wynonna Earp: Vengeance actor Karen Knox) whose return...

With memorable roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” “Dexter,” and Saw V, Julie Benz has earned the tile of scream queen — and now she’s playing one in Horrified.

Deadline reports that Benz will star alongside Busy Philipps (“Freaks and Geeks”), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), and Jim Rash (“Community”) in the meta horror-comedy.

The film sees a down-on-her-luck scream queen return to the horror convention circuit for fast cash, only to find the pig-masked killer from her old franchise weaponizing her cult legacy against her friends and fans, forcing her to confront past demons and fight for survival in a blood-soaked slasher showdown.

Due to shoot this summer, the film marks the feature debut of writer-director Michael Zara (“Major Crimes”). Adam Biddle (Crank) will serve as cinematographer.

Right at the end of 2024, a bunch of "Girls5Eva" fans — myself very much included — got terrible news. According to Variety and other major outlets, the show — which moved from Peacock to Netflix after the conclusion of its second season and premiered its third on Reed Hastings' streamer — never made it into Netflix's top 10. That meant it just wasn't popular enough, so it got axed.

This is a crying shame because "Girls5Eva," created by "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" veteran Meredith Scardino, is just so unbelievably funny, and I personally rallied for its third season to earn a spot on /Film's list of the best TV shows of 2024. With Tina Fey and Robert Carlock on board as executive producers, it's no surprise that the jokes fly just as fast as they did on that duo's outstanding show "30 Rock," and the plot of this unfortunately canceled comedy is pretty irresistable to boot: Former...

Olivia Rodrigo is celebrating the birthday of her friend and former co-star, Madison Hu.

Olivia was spotted at Fish Cheeks in NoHo on Monday (June 2) to celebrate her best friend’s birthday in a pair of bold leopard print pants that she paired with a basic red top and pair of nude heels.

The “good 4 u” singer’s small shoulder bag tied the Y2K-inspired look together for a trendy celebration fit.

In April of this year, Olivia was among the celebrities at the 2025 Planned Parenthood Spring Into Action Gala in New York City where she was recognized for her Fund 4 Good initiative. A portion of the ticket sales from her Guts World Tour went to Fund 4 Good which supports the reproductive rights of women, girls, and people around the world.

Along with Olivia, The Planned Parenthood Spring Into Action Gala was attended by other celebs like Iris Apatow and Busy Philipps.

Dawson's Creekstar James Van Der Beek reveals why his iconic character "looked like a pubescent Jesus."

Per Entertainment Weekly, the Dawson's Creek star recalled the story of getting his iconic '90s look before landing the role of Dawson Leery. Van Der Beek said that, at the time, he was desperately in need of a haircut when series' creator Kevin Williamson was able to snag an appointment with his own hairdresser. "And I meet his assistant [at the salon], and there was an Entertainment Weekly with a picture of Brad Pitt in TheDevil's Own, and we're like, 'Alright, give him that.' So that became the Dawson Season 1 haircut."

Released in 1997, The Devil's Own was an action thriller featuring Pitt in one of his more serious roles. Dawson's Creek fans may not have realized it was that role of Pitt's in particular that influenced Van Der Beek's look for the teen drama series.

Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps had a front row seat, literally, to the 2017 Oscars snafu.

The longtime best friends remembered the Best Picture mixup from the 89th Academy Awards, and Philipps’ kooky reaction on her show “Busy This Week” on QVC+ and Hsn+.

Moments before the final award of the night was announced, the duo attempted to sneak out and beat the rush. After they were ushered back to their front row seats (Williams was nominated for her performance in “Manchester by the Sea” that night), Oscar presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced that “La La Land” had won.

But something felt off.

“We were right there in the front row. We knew something weird was happening,” Philipps said on an episode of “Busy This Week.”

Halfway through the “La La Land” acceptance speech, accountants from PricewaterhouseCoopers rushed to the stage to correct the mistake and present the biggest...

Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps are taking an emotional trip down memory lane!

As they reminisced over the specific detail of their meeting, Busy added that she knew why she loved Michelle “immediately.

Whether you first met her behind the Weekend Update desk on Saturday Night Live, as the bumbling high school math teacher in Mean Girls, or as our hapless hero Liz Lemon in 30 Rock, there's no doubt that you have watched a movie or television series starring or created/executive produced/written by Tina Fey.

At a special screening of Another Simple Favor, Collider's Steve Weintraub sat down with filmmaker Paul Feig for a Q&a to talk about sequels, editing, and the challenges of working in Hollywood. Before the night was over, the conversation simply had to turn to one of Feig’s most beloved — and famously short-lived — projects: Freaks and Geeks. The cult classic high school dramedy aired for just one season between 1999 and 2000, yet it left an indelible mark on television history, launching a genuinely stunning wave of future stars — seriously, the cast included Linda Cardellini, John Francis Daley, James Franco, Martin Starr, Jason Segel, Busy Philipps, Samm Levine and Seth Rogen to name just a few — and gaining a second life through streaming, DVD box sets, and endless critical praise. But for all the fans' hopes of a revival, Feig made it clear: the show’s ending is exactly how he always wanted it.

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...

Joshua Jackson didn't have a great experience when auditioning for Dawson's Creek. In fact, he's compared it to The Hunger Games - the franchise where teenagers have to fight to the death in an arena.

While talking to Jesse Tyler Ferguson (who himself auditioned for the role of Dawson) on his Dinner's On Me podcast, Jackson remembered what a draining experience it all was. "I think I had like nine auditions for - I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey," he said, via Entertainment Weekly. "And then when I made it to the final, final, final thing, they take you to the Warner Bros. ranch."

"In that room are 35 potential kids who are now, like, put into this Hunger Games moment," Jackson said. Luckily, there were no weapons present - just a lot of actors who were dying for their big break. "And you spend...

Olivia Rodrigo is one of the biggest artists in the world right now and she has used her platform to support reproductive rights.

The 22-year-old singer was honored for her activism while attending the 2025 Planned Parenthood Spring Into Action Gala on Thursday night (April 24) at Cipriani South Street in New York City.

Olivia was joined at the event by fellow singer Lily Allen and her Bff Iris Apatow.

More celebs in attendance included Busy Philipps, Debbie Harry, Gina Gershon, Gretchen Mol, and Amber Ruffin. See photos in the gallery!

In conjunction with her Guts world tour, Olivia launched Olivia Rodrido’s Fund 4 Good, a global initiative committed to building an equitable and just future for all women, girls and people seeking reproductive health freedom. A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales on her tour went towards the Fund 4 Good.

The friendships made on the set of the late 1990's teen drama Dawson's Creekhave stood the test of time. Joshua Jackson, who played Pacey Witter on the show, recently opened up about how the cast of the hit series is standing behind James Van Der Beek in the wake of his cancer diagnosis.

In November 2024, Van Der Beek, who played Dawson Leery, revealed that he had been living with colorectal cancer. Jackson, who played Dawson's best friend,said he and his co-stars rallied behind Van Der Beek following his diagnosis. "James is going through something really truly terrible right now," the actor said during an appearnace on theJesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner’s on Me podcast. "And I wish I could take credit for this, but I was kind of the absentee partner here, but the girls all got together and were like, 'We need to do something to help this guy out.

Late last year, James Van Der Beek announced he had been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. And while fans have thrown their support behind him, it’s not surprising that his fellow Dawson’s Creek co-stars have stepped up amid his fight.

Joshua Jackson — who played Pacey Witter, best friend and sometimes bitter enemy to James Van Der Beek’s Dawson Leery — recently said that he and Katie Holmes (Joey Potter), Michelle Williams (Jen Lindley) and Busy Phillips have made it customary to keep in touch, especially in times like this. “James is going through something really truly terrible right now. And I wish I could take credit for this, but I was kind of the absentee partner here, but the girls all got together and were like, ‘We need to do something to help this guy out.’ Whether we talk to each other all the time, Busy and Michelle are very,...

Joshua Jackson has opened up about the competitive casting process behind Dawson’s Creek and how the show’s cast has reconnected around James Van Der Beek following his recent cancer diagnosis. Speaking on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Dinner’s on Me podcast, Jackson shared detailed memories of his early career and the dynamics among the show’s core actors more than 20 years after it first aired.

Jackson described the audition process for Dawson’s Creek as unusually intense, involving multiple rounds and large groups of actors. “I think I had, like, nine auditions,” he said. “I think first for Pacey, then for Dawson, then back to Pacey.” He eventually landed the role of Pacey Witter. James Van Der Beek was cast as Dawson Leery.

The final audition took place at the Warner Brothers Ranch, which Jackson recalled as a surreal setting. “There’s a giant gong and a woman at the...

It looks like The View has quietly slipped into a short hiatus, and as usual, fans are buzzing with questions. Whispers about the future of key co-hosts—including the ever-iconic Whoopi Goldberg—are growing louder, especially as contract renewal details remain under wraps.

But while the cameras may be off for now, the fans aren’t exactly left in the dark. Dedicated viewers have figured out how to stay a step ahead, even scoring chances to see their favorite personalities live.

What’s Happening Behind the Scenes?

Whoopi Goldberg, once known primarily for her award-winning acting and stand-up career, has worn the hat of co-host on The View since 2007. Over the years, both she and fellow co-host Joy Behar have occasionally stepped back from filming.

Per Collider, the 8-year-old sitcom is the ninth most streamed show on Max. The series follows Goggins and Mcbride as vice-principals trying to crawl their way to the top through often self-destructive scheming. Fans of White Lotus will recognize Goggins as Rick Hatchett from the recently ended Season 3. He and Mcbride have also worked together on The Righteous Gemstones. Despite going off the air in 2017, Vice Principals was very well received critically. The series' first season has a critical score of 64% on rotten tomatoes, and its second season sits at an outstanding 100%.

When the previous principal, played by Bill Murray, retires, Neal Gramby (Mcbride) and Lee Russel (Goggins) decide to team up to overthrow the current principal, Dr. Belinda Brown (Kimberly Hébert Gregory). The series was created and directed by Mcbride and Jody Hill.

In a sign of the times for cable TV, the legacy home shopping brand QVC Group says that it is laying off approximately 900 staffers and consolidating operations as it pivots to focus on the opportunity presented by “live social shopping.”

“Linear TV is a highly engaging, highly profitable platform and it remains our cornerstone. However, as traditional TV declines and a mix of video platforms takes a greater share of customer attention, we must hurry our expansion beyond TV to find growth,” the company wrote in its annual report to shareholders Friday. “We are fundamentally redefining who we are as a company and the role we play for our customers and in retail. We enter this next phase of our turnaround with rigor and excitement.

Alright, let’s get this out of the way: Dawson’s Creek was the guilty pleasure of the late ‘90s and early 2000s. It was the TV equivalent of a high school breakup that you never really got over. The angsty love triangles, the tragic back-and-forth between Dawson and Joey, and of course, Pacey – who was just too cool for the entire show.

We were hooked, we were obsessed, and we just knew we’d be watching those familiar faces for years. But like all good things, Dawson’s Creek didn’t last forever. After six seasons, the show wrapped up in 2003, leaving fans asking, “Why, oh why, did you have to pull the plug so soon?”

Sometimes it can take years for a movie to truly catch on, and that has proven to be the case with the 2004 comedy White Chicks, directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, and starring Marlon and Shawn Wayans, better known as the Wayans Brothers. The film was a moderate hit upon release and wasn't embraced by critics as it carries a less than stellar 15% Rotten Tomatoes score. Despite the critical response, the film has since been regarded as a cult classic, with many fans demanding a sequel. As they wait for news of a follow-up, White Chicks has found success once again by becoming a hit on streaming.

White Chicks is currently streaming on Max and is currently ranked ninth in their top ten movies. The movie is ahead of the James Franco comedy Why Him and behind a wide range of efforts from films that are great, such as End of Watch...

Women of a certain age are like a good bottle of wine—they just get better with time.

Created by Meredith Scardino and executive produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, Girls5eva is an amazing ride through nostalgia, irreverence, and hilarity, all wrapped up in infectious pop anthems.
