I initially thought a major event must have brought John Stamos and Jerry O’Connell together, and that turned out to be true. They both attended Howie Mandel’s 70th birthday party on November 22nd. During or after the celebration, O’Connell posted a selfie on Instagram with Stamos and his wife, Caitlin – whom O’Connell had previously met while working on Law & Order: SVU. The post also includes a funny reference to a recent high-profile meeting at the White House.

Kelli Giddish, who was a main cast member on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for 12 years before departing in 2022, has returned to the show several times. She recently came back again, and told Extra she was thrilled, saying the show feels fresh even in its 27th season. SUV is currently airing its 22-episode season, and with Giddish and Ice-T each appearing in about half of the episodes so far, there appears to be enough space for all the sergeants on the force.

The flirting really kicked off the night before with a hot tub session, where Kizzi and Max kissed right in front of Cathy. Aesha pointed out to Cathy that Kizzi seems to target guys who are already with someone, suggesting she wants to be seen as the most desirable. Kizzi later told V she overheard Aesha and Cathy, and it upset her. It also probably didn’t feel great to hear Max ask Cathy for a kiss the next day, but it’s clear Kizzi isn’t looking for anything serious. She’s confessed she’s just interested in casual kissing.

The new Exorcist film, originally planned for release next March, doesn’t have a confirmed release date yet. It’s a reboot, not a continuation of the 2023 film Believer. Director Mike Flanagan, who signed on in May 2024 through Red Room Pictures, announced on Tumblr in June 2025 that production hasn’t started because he’s still finishing Carrie. He assures fans it won’t be a simple remake and that he’s aiming high. He told attendees at New York Comic Con in 2024 that he wants to make the scariest movie of his career, something that genuinely frightens him. While that’s a big challenge, it suggests the wait will be worthwhile.

Before viewers get to know the new heroes in Miraculous Stellar Force, they’ll experience all the excitement, tension, and challenges that come with their arrival in the Miraculous universe. Luckily, Miraculous World: Tokyo Stellar Force delivers exactly what fans wanted, and even the parts that are a little different still feel right at home within the Miraculous franchise.

Gene Hackman is particularly memorable as Avery Toler, the tough, ethically questionable partner at the law firm where Mitch (Tom Cruise) takes a job in Memphis. Interestingly, the character was originally envisioned as a woman, with Meryl Streep considered for the part. While I admire Streep, I think the filmmakers made the right choice going with Hackman instead.

Craig Sweeny, the creator of the Watson series, is a Pittsburgh native, and that local flavor comes through in nearly every episode. During a recent media tour, star Noah Wylie shared that his parents actually met while students at Chatham and Carnegie Mellon Universities. While the HBO series excels as a realistic and medically accurate drama, as a Pittsburgher, I think Watson truly captures what makes this city feel so special and close to people’s hearts.

Considering everything Cami was dealing with, her decision to search Monty’s old office in Landman Season 2, Episode 2 felt unexpected. She could have spent that time studying the oil industry or beginning to rebuild the offshore gas rig. While Landman didn’t explicitly state what she was looking for, the surrounding events gave us a pretty clear idea.

Get ready to stream the action-packed Roman epic, 300, on Peacock starting December 1st! While director Zack Snyder’s films are sometimes criticized for focusing more on visuals than story, that’s not a problem with 300. The incredible style and non-stop action are the main draw. Based on the graphic novel by comic book legend Frank Miller (also known for The Dark Knight Returns), the film is a dramatic retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, which took place during the Greco-Persian Wars in 480 BCE. Gerard Butler stars as King Leonidas, leading 300 Spartan warriors against the massive Persian army. Here’s what the movie is about:

Brecken Merrill, who plays Tate, and Gil Birmingham as Chief Rainwater are both returning for the new season. Mo Brings Plenty will also be back as Rainwater’s bodyguard, Mo. Joining the cast are Arielle Kebbel (known for Ballers), Ash Santos (American Horror Story: Apocalypse), Tatanka Means (Horizon), and Logan Marshall-Green (And Just Like That…), playing the characters Belle, Andrea, Miles, and Pete Calvin, respectively.
