Born on November 29, 1935, in Laurel, Mississippi, Diane Ladd always dreamed of being an actress, so much so that she gave up a college scholarship to pursue it. Acting runs in the family – she’s a second cousin of the famous playwright Tennessee Williams. She met her first husband, Bruce Dern, while performing in Williams’s play, Orpheus Descending, which was her first off-Broadway role, in 1959. They married in 1960 and later starred together in her first film, Wild Angels, in 1966. Diane and Bruce had two daughters: Diane Elizabeth, who tragically passed away at 18 months in a drowning accident, and Laura.

The preview kicks off by reminding viewers of all the memorable moments from the original Vanderpump Rules. It opens with Stassi Schroeder’s iconic line from the very first episode – “I am the devil, and don’t you forget it” – and closes with a nod to Scandoval. Including Scandoval might have been a misstep, though. It’s tough for any trailer to compete with eleven seasons of highlights, and this one is no different. The new trailer doesn’t have any lines as instantly quotable as Stassi’s famous declaration, but it’s worth remembering that line wasn’t in the first season’s trailer either.

Ultimately, Walerius ended things with Keltner, feeling they lived separate lives and she needed a partner who could share quiet moments with her after work. While she questioned whether she was ready for motherhood at the end of their time together, she and her partner, Paul, welcomed their son, Brooks, a few months before reconnecting for the show. Now, she says she’s a confident mother and is happy she didn’t let her fears stop her from having a child. “It was one of the best decisions I ever made,” she shared.

Okay, let’s be real – Luke is hands-down Lorelai’s best match. But Gilmore Girls isn’t just about her romance! The show really got people talking about Rory’s love life too, and the debate between Dean, Jess, and Logan still goes on. Honestly though, I think the series did Lane dirty. She started out with such a promising story, seemingly headed for a happy ending, but it just… fizzled out. It’s a shame, really.

This month, SFX Magazine on TopMob is delivering everything fans of Stranger Things want to know about Season 5. In a recent interview, Caleb McLaughlin (who plays Lucas) discussed what’s coming up for his character. It appears Lucas will be focused on protecting Max (Sadie Sink), who is still in a coma. However, McLaughlin hinted that it won’t be simple for Lucas to deal with this difficult situation and his feelings for her.

Despite recent difficulties, there’s good reason to believe this new film will eventually be made. It has the potential to significantly impact how people view superhero movies, making it a crucial project for DC.

There’s speculation that Daniel Day-Lewis might respond to comments made by his former co-star, Brian Cox. Cox has criticized Jeremy Strong’s acting style, calling it intensely irritating and comparing him to Day-Lewis. While the “Method” – an acting technique emphasizing emotional realism – originated with Konstantin Stanislavski, it’s often popularly understood as an actor taking their role too seriously, staying in character constantly and becoming difficult to work with. Cox believes Day-Lewis retired at 55 because the demanding process was unsustainable. He acknowledges that while Strong’s dedication produces exceptional results, it can be draining for everyone else, as he told Seth Meyers in 2021 and again in a 2022 interview with Deadline.

Will Poulter, known for his role in The Maze Runner, was originally chosen to play Pennywise in Cary Fukunaga’s planned version of It. However, when Fukunaga unexpectedly left the project and the film’s direction and timeline changed significantly, Poulter left as well. This opened the door for Bill Skarsgård to take on the role. Ultimately, the film underwent a complete creative overhaul, rescuing the adaptation and becoming a defining work of modern horror.

2025 wasn’t a blockbuster year for Marvel, but they still released more successful movies than failures, and their TV shows were generally well-received. The most discussed show was Daredevil: Born Again, which fans appreciated for building on the popular Netflix series and bringing back beloved characters.

Despite quickly selling out of its limited official merchandise and the movie’s catchy song “Golden” remaining number one on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart, the singalong version of the film didn’t perform quite as well as expected in theaters. Industry estimates (since Netflix doesn’t share its viewing or box office numbers) put the animated musical’s North American gross between $5.3 and $6 million across 2,890 theaters. This places it behind the new Colleen Hoover film adaptation and the second weekend of Black Phone 2.
