According to messages obtained by People, Jenny Slate was unhappy with her co-star, Justin Baldoni, during the promotion of It Ends with Us. She reportedly asked her team to ensure she wouldn’t have to participate in any joint interviews or events with him. Slate also expressed her concerns to Jamey Heath, the CEO of Wayfarer Studios, Baldoni’s production company.

Netflix is launching a new live competition series called Star Search tonight. Unlike previous talent shows the streamer has tried, like last year’s Building the Band, Star Search will air live each week, allowing viewers to vote for their favorite contestants in real-time. New episodes will be broadcast live on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET, and audiences can vote using their TV remotes or the Netflix app on their phones.

Jeff Gaspin, Netflix’s head of unscripted series in the U.S. and Canada, recently told Vulture that he had one key requirement before signing on to the show: live audience voting. He wanted viewers to act as a fourth judge during the performances, not afterwards, and to be able to vote easily using their remote controls. He challenged Netflix’s product team to create a voting system that could handle millions of simultaneous votes, and they delivered within 24 hours. According to Gaspin, they’ve been perfecting this feature for the past year.

You know, I was reading what Ben Affleck had to say – he and Jennifer Lopez are always together, it’s sweet – and he was really praising the series Adolescence on Netflix. He actually said it was one of the best things they’ve ever produced, and what struck him was that it didn’t rely on any of those typical streaming tricks to hold your attention. He basically thinks it proves you don’t need all that stuff to get people hooked – good storytelling is enough!

Just like Charmed, many rebooted supernatural shows didn’t quite live up to expectations and could benefit from another try, both for new viewers and existing fans. With so many shows making comebacks these days, a second chance could really work for these programs.

According to FlixPatrol, Sleepless is currently the fifth most popular movie on HBO Max globally. It’s performing better than films like The Phoenician Scheme, The Duchess, As Above, So Below, Ma, and others, which rank from sixth to tenth place.

This leads to a crucial question: who would be foolish enough to leave their phone—unlocked and with a revealing call history—near Stephen DeMarco, who’s already demonstrated unstable behavior? We still aren’t sure why Stephen is trying to ruin the wedding, but Wrigley’s obvious feelings for the bride have given him the opportunity. Honestly, I’m starting to question why I even care about Stephen’s interference, considering Bree and Wrigley seem to have a complicated connection. All I know is Stephen is trouble, so whatever he’s planning can’t be good.
