Hair and makeup professionals aren’t paid enough to also be an actor’s therapist — nor are they trained for it. A growing wave of intimacy coordinators are.
Amanda Edwards has been an intimacy coordinator in film, TV, and theater since 2020, but she’s also a licensed therapist. Because of that background, she was asked to perform mental health care for people on set. Just as she’d have to deal with how to portray an intimate sex scene properly and with appropriate consent, directors and producers were asking her to mitigate mental health crises when filming other intense scenes.
“Productions were asking me, how can we portray this responsibly? How can we minimize harm to our performers, to our audience members?” Edwards told IndieWire. “I was doing mental health crisis mitigation for not only the cast members who were performing the thing, but also for the crew members who...

It was the cheating scandal that shook Vanderpump Rules to its core.
Last March, longtime cast members Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix announced they were splitting up after more than a decade together. The reason? Sandoval’s months-long affair with fellow cast member Raquel Leviss, an event that came to be known as Scandoval.
Infidelity and partner swapping is nothing new in the world of Vanderpump Rules. Before he got together with Madix, Sandoval dated cast member Kristen Doute, who cheated on him with another cast member, James Kennedy, who was later engaged to Leviss. But the dramatic breakdown of Madix and Sandoval’s relationship was uniquely compelling for viewers – and for the show’s namesake, Lisa Vanderpump.

Discovery Channel’s hit franchises, like “Gold Rush” and “Deadliest Catch,” featured plenty of blood and sweat. But where were the tears? That’s something Howard Lee immediately began asking, upon taking control of the network at the end of 2022.
After Lee was handed the keys to Discovery that December, “I spent my entire Christmas vacation devouring, scrutinizing, every single Discovery Channel show and familiarizing myself with it, like a fanboy. And looking at, of course, the ratings for each one and the budgets.”
As head of TLC, Lee helped grow the network to new heights thanks to blockbuster franchises like “90 Day Fiancé,” where emotion was his bread and butter. But after his crash course in Discovery fare, Lee felt that the flagship network could do a better job of creating programming that its audience found viscerally enthralling.

Anne Heche died in August 2022 following a fiery car accident. The starlet’s crash, which occurred before noon on Aug. 5, 2022, destroyed a home, caused a fire, and left firefighters battling for nearly an hour to free Heche from the wreckage. Heche remained hospitalized following the crash before ultimately succumbing to her injuries. Months after her death, an official toxicology report revealed whether or not Heche was driving under the influence.
Anne Heche’s car accident was not caused by the use of illegal substances
Inhalation and thermal injuries were cited as Heche’s official cause of death. That cause was released to the public in mid-August, less than two weeks after the crash.

Gilmore Girls fans watched Rory Gilmore grow up. The famed character first appeared on screen as a 15-year-old high school sophomore, and fans bid her farewell as an Ivy League graduate.

In many ways, yes.
What is Rory Gilmore’s astrological sign?

After fans waited almost two years for new episodes, the second season of Shadow and Bone premiered on March 16 on Netflix. The new season adapts Leigh Bardugo’s Siege and Storm as well as Ruin and Rising, bringing the novelized Shadow and Bone trilogy to a close.
However, the source material for Bardugo’s Grishaverse does not end with that core trilogy. Rather, it continues with two more duologies: Six of Crows and King of Scars. Unlike King of Scars, some details from the Six of Crows books have already crept into the Shadow and Bone series. And as it turns out, scripts for a Six of Crows spinoff series have already been completed.

If you’re a fan of Jeopardy! , then you know that the show follows a strict set of rules. Contestants have a limited amount of time to answer each question. They must also always give their answers in the form of a question. However, there are also other rules that pop up more infrequently that are even more stringent. One rule being that the skilled competitors must use the proper pronunciation when making verbal guesses to the clues. Unfortunately, Kevin Manning learned this lesson the hard way, and his slip of the tongue ultimately impeded his chances of becoming champion.

Vanderpump Rules stars Katie Maloney and Ariana Madix are opening a sandwich shop.
When Katie’s now ex-husband Tom Schwartz opened Schwartz and Sandy’s with his best friend, Tom Sandoval, it pretty much put the nail in the coffin of his marriage. Maloney felt ignored and that her opinion didn’t matter.
Another issue for Maloney was that she had always wanted to open a sandwich shop, and her husband put that project on the back burner because he was busy with the bar.
Madix then stepped in to partner with Maloney.

“Anima: to give a soul to something that didn’t have it. In stop-motion this is more true than any other form of animation.” This, according to iconoclastic filmmaker Guillermos Del Toro, exactly one week before taking home Best Animated feature at the 95th Academy Awards for his visually arresting masterpiece Pinocchio.
