In previous instances and likely future ones, I’ve expressed my disapproval towards Erin Mew Mew Lichy. However, this episode showcased a change in her behavior that, while it didn’t endear her to me, certainly earned my admiration.
Hello there! Welcome back to another thrilling episode of “Women of Wealth: Pursuit of Power and Passion.” This week, these dynamic ladies have left quite an impression. They added a touch of opulence to their fruit platters with a sprinkle of gold, seemingly unfazed by the potential digestive implications for their associates.
Marilyn Manson, formerly known as Brian Warner, has withdrawn his defamation lawsuit against Evan Rachel Wood. The musician dropped this suit following accusations of abuse made by Wood. In addition, Manson will cover over $300,000 in legal costs for Wood. Attorneys representing Wood stated that Manson initially proposed a settlement earlier this year, but the agreement would have required confidentiality, which Wood declined. According to lawyers for Wood, Manson’s intention was to discredit his multiple accusers and revive his flagging career by suing Wood. However, his attempt to intimidate and silence Ms. Wood proved unsuccessful. An attorney for Manson expressed satisfaction with the decision to abandon the case, saying it allows him to move past this chapter in his life.
As a movie reviewer looking back on the dramatic twist in the series “Vanderpump Rules”, I couldn’t help but feel that Tom Sandoval’s eerie Instagram post with the Funeral Pall filter was a clear sign of trouble brewing in the SURverse. The other shoe finally dropped on November 26, when Bravo announced that the upcoming 12th season would introduce an entirely new cast to the mix. With this revelation, I can’t help but ponder what lies ahead for the characters we’ve come to know and love (or loathe).
Jim Abrahams, who frequently worked with Jerry and David Zucker, the team behind movies like “Airplane!”, “Top Secret!”, and “Hot Shots!”, passed away at the age of 80 due to natural causes. His son Joseph confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter on November 26th. Abrahams initially gained industry recognition by co-writing with his childhood friends, the Zucker brothers, for the sketch-heavy movie “The Kentucky Fried Movie” in 1977. This trio, often referred to as ‘ZAZ’, then went on to write and direct “Airplane!” in 1980, a hilarious spoof of disaster movies starring Leslie Nielsen that has become an American comedy staple. Throughout the years, Abrahams collaborated with the Zuckers on “Police Squad!”, “Top Secret!”, “Ruthless People”, and “The Naked Gun”. He later directed “Big Business” and wrote and directed the “Hot Shots!” films in 1991 and 1993. His most recent work was as a writer for “Scary Movie 4” in 2006.
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I can’t help but reminisce about the good old days before streaming platforms redefined our entertainment consumption habits. Back then, we’d serendipitously stumble upon captivating content on cable that felt like dreamy encounters, often forgetting them soon after, yet they’d linger in our subconscious, shaping our tastes and resurfacing as fleeting memories. It was during one of these chance discoveries that I stumbled upon a gritty miniseries that would eventually captivate me for life.
The final chapters are approaching for “What We Do in the Shadows”. Though vampires can live eternally, this series will not, as we’re left with just three episodes before the grand finale. Starting next week, it seems we’ll delve deeper into the storyline. However, before we neatly conclude six years of hilarious vampire antics, let’s indulge in one more round of those shenanigans. This week’s episode appears to have been inspired by an amusing behind-the-scenes moment on the set of “What We Do in the Shadows” – and that’s not a bad thing at all. If you’ve ever eavesdropped on Matt Berry and Kayvan Novak joking around between takes while waiting for a lightbulb to be changed or a stunt harness to be adjusted, wouldn’t you want to bring that laughter to the world as well?
In my perspective as an ardent wrestling fan, before I knew her as the legendary WWE Superstar Becky Lynch, she was indie wrestler Rebecca Knox and prior to that, just a regular girl from Ireland named Rebecca Quin. Just like many remarkable wrestlers, it’s challenging to distinguish where the person ends and the persona begins; Lynch seems like the embodiment of all Quin’s charisma, allure, and tenacity. Her passion for performance, whether it’s combat or theatrical, is infectious, her love for wrestling evident.
It seems that a shift is occurring, and it’s not just about the unique Chuck Taylors with Lala Kent’s likeness on them. On November 26, Bravo announced that the upcoming season 12 of “Vanderpump Rules” will feature an entirely new set of characters from SUR and TomTom’s staff, with Lisa Vanderpump remaining as per the show’s title. The specifics about the cast are still unclear. Lala Kent responded to this news on Instagram, expressing mixed feelings, stating “I do not like change, but this is the exception… This show changed my whole life.” What catches our attention here is her unexpected calmness, which is unlike the Lala we’re accustomed to. Considering Jax and Kristen’s new reality TV series on Hulu, “The Valley,” getting a second season, it raises suspicions that there could be more than meets the eye at play, perhaps even another spinoff show or shows. Bravo wouldn’t want to let a star like Ariana Madix slip away from their grasp.
The debut of the movie “The Skeleton Twins” signified a shift in the career paths for Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig. Previously, they were widely recognized for their long stint on “Saturday Night Live,” where they were predominantly known as comedic actors, often associated with characters like Stefon and Penelope, as well as their shared talent for eccentric impersonations. However, in the 2014 film “The Skeleton Twins,” Hader and Wiig stepped into a new realm of acting, portraying estranged twins grappling with life’s choices, each dealing with unresolved grief and repressed traumas. Directed by Craig Johnson, “The Skeleton Twins” was warmly received at Sundance and served as a significant turning point in the post-“SNL” careers of both Hader and Wiig.
