As a certain anime shark girl would say, "Hololive only grows stronger." Despite the accelerating loss of high-profile talents, such as Gawr Gura and Nanashi Mumei, Hololive continued to dominate the VTuber streaming industry in early 2025.

Streams Charts, an analytics website that tracks online trends and viewership, published its latest statistical findings for the first quarter of 2025. With the help of Vstats, Streams Charts reported significant details and observations about online streamers, particularly Virtual YouTubers, who commonly dominate platforms like YouTube and Twitch. Despite a slight dip in Q3 2024, the VTuber industry continued to grow compared to the previous year through early 2025. The most noteworthy achievement was the surpassing of 500 million hours watched for the first time in history. What makes this achievement so incredible is that it was accomplished at a time when there are fewer content creators than there were two years ago. The milestone was made possible...

Bijou Phillips is going strong with new boyfriend Jamie Mazur!

The 44-year-old actress and the 43-year-old businessman were spotted enjoying a date night at the famed hotel and restaurant Chateau Marmont on Thursday (January 2) in Los Angeles.

Bijou filed for divorce from her ex-husband Danny Masterson just over a year ago after he was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison for raping two women.

A source is opening up about Bijou‘s new relationship with Jamie and how they’re very “real” together.

“They’ve been together since the summer and he’s so in love,” a source told People about Jamie.

The outlet previously reported, “He was initially just a confidant and someone safe that she could talk to. They’ve been dating for a couple of months now. He’s added a spark to her life. She seems much happier and more relaxed lately.

You might have to wait a whole hour for Kristin Scott Thomas to appear in the guise of carefree and broke aristocrat Bijou in this breezy mid-life crisis drama set in Greece, but once she arrives everything suddenly falls into place.

Two tickets to Greece, the French title from director Marc Fitoussi (Call My Agent) follows two former school best friends Magalie (Laure Calamy) and Blandine (Olivia Côte) as they reconcile decades after falling out and losing touch with one another. Despite the years, Magalie hasn’t changed one bit and is still the life and soul of any party that will have her. On the other hand, stuck up upper middle class Blandine has forgotten how to have fun.

Newly divorced and still pining for her old married life, Blandine is spurred on by her well-adjusted grown-up son, Benjamin (Alexandre Desrousseaux), to take a trip with Magalie to the...

Sun! Sea! Men! Margaritas! The siren song of this holy quartet is all that is required to tempt free-spirited hot mess Magalie (“Call My Agent” star Laure Calamy) to pack her bags and join her estranged former schoolfriend Blandine (Olivia Côte) on the holiday of a lifetime. The invitation has come courtesy of Blandine’s teenaged son Benjamin (Alexandre Desrousseaux), who believes, with good reason, that his recently divorced mother is in danger of becoming a recluse — and she wasn’t exactly the life and soul of the party to begin with. The stage is set for a pleasant if meandering comedy-drama powered by the personality clash at its core.

“Two Tickets to Greece” opens with a prologue establishing the contrast between these two women as teenagers, and it’s perhaps not strictly required, since this dynamic is telegraphed loud and clear in every glance, line and scene in the movie.

An uptight and depressed French divorcée reunites with her impetuous teenage bestie on a revealing journey through paradise. Two Tickets to Greece reminds that getting your groove back is never easy. Life invariably hurts, rejects, and disappoints in the most cruel ways. Sometimes we need help to get out of our comfort zones and find a new path to happiness. It's difficult at first, but dropping your guard works wonders. Writer/director Marc Fitoussi infuses quirky realism and sobering truth to a refreshingly honest comedy-drama.

In 1989, 15-year-old Blandine Bouvier (Leelou Laridan) sneaks Magalie Graulières (Marie Mallia) into her house. The girls make martinis, listen to CDs, and dream about a fantasy vacation. Luc Besson's The Big Blue is their favorite movie. They swear to take a trip to Amorgos, a Greek island, before passing out drunk and getting yelled at by Blandine's irate parents.

Three decades later, Blandine...

In Marc Fitoussi’s Two Tickets to Greece, former besties Blandine (Olivia Cotê) and Magalie (Laure Calamy) cross paths after 30 years and decide take a trip to Greece together. Blandine, as if in homage to her name, has become timid and conservative over the years, while Magalie has an active sex life, likes to shake her tailfeather in nightclubs, and tries to ingratiate herself with just about anyone. Cue the drug-related hijinks and misunderstandings between the women and the Greek locals, threatening to jeopardize their trip.

This by-the-numbers travel comedy is nothing if not corny in its repeated attempts to wring humor from Blandine’s prudishness. In one scene, Magalie gets fully nude in their hotel room, with Blandine, trying to look away, repeatedly peeking to see if her friend has finally put some clothes on. While there’s an obvious queer dimension to that and other scenes, including one...

On the morning of April 25, testimony began in the second rape trial of That ’70s Show actor Danny Masterson after an initial trial ended last November in a hung jury and mistrial.

The first witness on the stand was one of Masterson’s alleged victims, Jane Doe 3, who had been in a relationship with Masterson between 1996 and 2002.

Deputy Da Reinhold Mueller asked her how she was feeling.

“Not great,” she said.

When Mueller asked what might be causing her concern about testifying, she said, “I’m scared.”

“What are you scared of?...

Kristin Scott Thomas starrer “Two Tickets to Greece” has been picked up by Parkland Entertainment for U.K. and Ireland distribution, Variety can confirm.

Set in present-day Paris and Greece, “Two Tickets to Greece” tells the story of recently-divorced Blandine (Côte), who is struggling to put her life back together. She is persuaded by her loud and fearless friend Magalie (Calamy) to head to the Greek island of Amorgos, which they’ve dreamed of visiting since they were teenagers. It’s only once the two women arrive they realize that their different approaches to life mean their dreamy holiday won’t go as planned, especially once Magalie’s pal Bijou (Scott Thomas) arrives on the scene.

“Two Tickets to Greece” was produced by Caroline Bonmarchand...

The year was 2001, in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, many studios struggled to find the proper way to market and release their films while still being sensitive to what had just happened. Many films were moved off their original release dates to give the studios, and audiences, more time to figure out the proper way forward. One film, however, was deemed a slam dunk: a feel good story about a man who loses his memory and is taken in by the people of a small town when they assume him to be a long lost son and World War II hero, set against the backdrop of the Hollywood Communist witch hunt of the 1950’s from a respected Oscar nominated filmmaker and starring a lead actor who was in the midst of a dramatic left turn in his career with back to back Golden Globe wins for Best Actor.
