Jaime King is an American actress known for her roles in films like Sin City and Pearl Harbor. She stands at 5 feet 8 inches (172.7 cm) tall but has also claimed to be 5 feet 9 inches tall.

King began her career as a fashion model in the 1990s, before transitioning to acting with a breakthrough role in “Pearl Harbor” in 2001. Her height of 5 feet 8 inches is above the average for American women, approximately 5 feet 4 inches.

At the 2022 Dkms Gala in New York City on October 20, Jaime King turned heads in a sculptural gold Jovana Louis jumpsuit with exaggerated sleeves and a dramatic train, finishing the look with sleek pointed-toe heels that subtly peeked out beneath the hem, adding an elongating effect to her already statuesque silhouette (Credit: Lev Radin / Shutterstock)

On Monday, actress Jaime King commented on the reports that she was sued by her landlord for overdue rent and lost custody of her children after failing to complete a six-month rehab program.

She asserted that at the top of her list of concerns was her children – and not about her housing problems.

On March 17, it was revealed by court documents that King’s ex, Kyle Newman, was granted sole physical custody of their two sons, James, 11, and Leo, 9. King and Newman will share legal custody, but Newman will now have “tie-breaking authority.”

Last week, we reported on the increasingly sad situation involving model and actress Jaime King.

King has reportedly lost primary custody of her two children due to her failure to complete a six-month drug and alcohol rehabilitation program in accordance with court orders.

That was followed by more bad news for Jaime, as the troubled star is reportedly being evicted from her rental home.

Jaime is obviously not as in-demand as she used to be in Hollywood, but her plight has been making headlines thanks in large part to her connection to the most famous woman on the planet.

Now, new information pertaining to this unfortunate situation has come to light.

In a legal declaration filed by Newman way back in May 2020 as part of the ex-couple’s divorce proceedings, he stated that his then-wife was a “chronic drug addict and alcoholic who refuses to acknowledge that she has a problem, let alone seek meaningful treatment for such problem.”

Based on documents obtained by In Touch Weekly, Newman even said King had drank and taken drugs while pregnant.

For this Valentine's Day season, the new slasher movie Heart Eyes hit theaters a week before the holiday. This plot focuses on a masked killer who comes out on the day of love to stalk and murder happy couples.

Justin Hartley got his big break in television in the early 2000s and has spent most of his career on TV, which might be why many of his best movies and TV shows have not been in theaters. Hartley has found a home for himself in roles where he gets to more thoroughly explore characters in a serial format, having long runs on several television shows, even those where he is not a series regular.

Today, Hartley stars in the TV series Tracker and has more movies on the way, but his first foray into Hollywood was in a now-canceled soap opera. The soap opera grind likely prepared him for so much of his work. He has guest starred in everything from crime procedurals to modern dramas, and has been part of some large ensembles in critically acclaimed series.

That’s too bad for Amy Adams, who runs with everything the story throws at her but gets shortchanged by the script.

Hartnett played Danny Walker in the epic period drama, which also starred a supporting cast including Ben Affleck, Kate Beckinsale, William Lee Scott, Ewen Bremner, Michael Shannon, Jaime King, Jennifer Garner, Jon Voight, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Pearl Harbor was one of Bay's early directorial efforts, before he took on the Transformers series.

Speaking with Vanity Fair, Hartnett details his experience working with Bay on Pearl Harbor.

According to the actor, he was "trepidatious" about working on a film as big as Pearl Harbor, and people were warning him about how difficult a director Bay was to work with.

White Chicks is a movie that has developed a large cult following over the years, even if the film itself has fallen into the category of wouldnt be made today. It seems, though, that not everyone who was part of the film was that impressed with it even when it came out 20 years ago. In a recent interview with NPR, Busy Philipps shared her candid thoughts on how she was embarrassed by the way people reacted to White Chicks on its release especially when it stopped her being part of a much more successful movie.

The company behind reboots of horror classics like Halloween and The Exorcist is reportedly moving forward on a reboot of the 1981 Canadian slasher film My Bloody Valentine, according to a Bloody Disgusting exclusive.

Directed by George Mihalka and written by John Beaird, My Bloody Valentine received mixed reviews from critics upon its initial release but has since garnered a devoted cult following, enough to warrant a remake in 2009 that starred Jensen Ackles, Jaime King, and Kerr Smith.

Surprisingly, though, My Bloody Valentine is one horror IP that hasn't been revisited time and time again...until now. Blumhouse aims to change that and revive the killer pickaxe-wielding miner who murders for a new movie.

Despite the news from Bloody Disgusting, little is known about the potential reboot except that Blumhouse is interested in making it.

Who knows? Maybe this will be the next big horror franchise. It has always been surprising...

It was back in 2018 that Syfy pulled the plug on The Asylum-produced zombie series “Z Nation,” ending the show after five seasons. But it seems “Z Nation” might be coming back…

The Asylum took to Twitter last night to tweet out a graphic promising a “major announcement soon” from the world of “Z Nation,” noting that the show’s “brief break” is almost over.

Created by Karl Schaefer and Craig Engler, “Z Nation” was originally launched in 2014, with 68 total episodes airing across the five seasons that came to an end back in 2018.

Syfy’s “Z Nation,” the show’s Wikipedia page reminds, “begins three years into a zombie apocalypse caused by a virus that has already killed most humans. The series revolves around the travels of a small group of survivors being led through the apocalypse.”

The new action film Lights Out has stepped into the ring for viewers to enjoy. Frank Grillo stars as a mysterious wanderer who is haunted by a past of seeing his comrades die in combat and now finds himself thrust into the underground world of mixed-martial arts fighting. Mekhi Phifer also stars as Grillo’s only ally with Durmot Mulroney as a crime boss and Scott Adkins making a special appearance as Grillo’s former brother-in-arms.

The movie also stars Jaime King as Ridgeway, who is a police detective who is seemingly pulling all the strings behind it all, but is there more that she’s hiding? King had starred opposite Johnny Depp in Ted Demme’s film Blow, followed by Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor starring opposite Ben Affleck. You may recognize her as Goldie in Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City and the sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

Pop, pop, Bang. Watch out for gritty fistfights aplenty in director Christian Sesma's new feature. Frank Grillo stars in Lights Out as a down-and-out war veteran who teams up with an ex-con, played by Mekhi Phifer, to take on the underground street fighting world in modern-day Los Angeles.

It's pretty straightforward stuff, though the overall vibe is heightened by a bumping soundtrack and other household names that we've seen in other Sesma projects. We recently caught up with the SoCal-based filmmaker to learn more about the real-life inspiration behind Lights Out, which past classics fueled his vision for this latest feature of his, and why The Iron Claw should have gotten Oscar love.
