Steve Carell’s new comedy series hit Netflix this past weekend, and after immediately jumping to the #1 spot on the streamer’s chart, everyone is already asking questions about a potential Season 2. Carell stars alongside Colman Domingo and Tina Fey in The Four Seasons, the romantic comedy series following three couples who go on a vacation together. The show is based on the 1981 film of the same name from Alan Alda, with Fey adapting the new series to TV with Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield. Wigfield recently sat down for an interview with TV Insider to talk about the new series, and when asked about a potential Season 2, she expressed where she would like to see the show go:

“If we did another season, we would want the same group of friends, and we’d want Ginny to really be tied in there because she and Anne are going to have children who are siblings.

More than two decades after portraying Jake in 2003’s Freaky Friday,Chad Michael Murray, who has starred in shows like One Tree Hilland Sullivan’s Crossing, is back in the role again for this summer’s Freakier Friday. The movie will reunite Murray’s Jake with Lindsay Lohan’s Anna Coleman and Jamie Lee Curtis’ Tess Coleman.

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Murray talked about reprising his Jake role and the nostalgia it brought along with it. In the 2003 film, Murray played the motorcycle-riding love interest of teenage Anna (Lohan). Now, 22 years later, he talked about how he wanted to make sure everything was perfect as he stepped into the role once again, including his iconic hair.

“The hair had been locked in place for the entire day. I was trying to let it be free and let it loose, to get the helmet and to do the whole thing,...

The team behind Freakier Friday, the sequel to Disney's 2003 comedy Freaky Friday starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, have promised that the upcoming movie will correct the most "problematic" part of the original. The follow-up comes more than two decades after the first film, and while the sequel aims to retain many elements that made the body-swapping film so popular, Freakier Friday director Nisha Ganatra has admitted that she had the "complicated" task of reassessing the first film and making some necessary changes.

Ganatra told Entertainment Weekly that her Freakier Friday checklist included fixing the 2003 film's "hurtful" Asian stereotypes. She felt the past portrayal of two characters in particular needed to be addressed, making reference to Chinese restaurant owner Pei-Pei (Rosalind Chao) and her mother (Lucille Soong), who famously served Anna (Lohan) and Tess (Curtis) the magical fortune cookies that led to their body-swap. Chao and Soong are both...

Before Rachel Zegler joined the list of actresses to play beloved Disney Princesses, she had already starred in a few major films. From Maria in West Side Story to Lucy Gray Baird in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Zegler made a name for herself quickly. In March, she became Disney royalty, portraying Snow White in the film of the same name. Now, in her first movie post-Snow White, the actress will step into the life of a daughter with an ex-punk rocker mom in the comedy drama She Gets It From Mealongside Marisa Tomei(May Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe).

According to Variety, Tomei will play the rowdy, wild-living mother, and the project is apparently based on a true story. It follows Nicky (Zegler) as her engagement, a moment that was supposed to be a celebration, turns into a search for her pill-popping, ex-punk rocker...

The team behind Freakier Friday, Disney’s upcoming sequel to its 2003 body-swap comedy, has acknowledged that elements of the original film relied on stereotypes, particularly in its depiction of Asian characters. Director Nisha Ganatra and actor Manny Jacinto, both of Asian descent, say the new film takes a different approach.

Ganatra said she had long held concerns about the earlier film, particularly a pivotal scene set in a Chinese restaurant. “I remember watching it and feeling torn, mostly about the Asian representation, and also the soundtrack that was being used,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “It was something I brought up right away when I had my first meetings with the producers. I had a moment of the presentation that was like, ‘Problematic Asian representation!’”

In the 2003 film, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan play a mother and daughter who argue during a dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Pei-Pei, the restaurant owner played by Rosalind Chao,...

Jonathan Bennett had to learn to play football for his role in 'Mean Girls'.The 43-year-old actor starred as heartthrob Aaron Samuels in the 2004 cult classic - which followed Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert as a group of popular girls in a comedy that serves as a parody of the high school clique system - and admitted upon the film's 21st anniversary on Wednesday (30.04.25) evening that he had never even "kicked a soccer ball" before he arrived on set. Alongside footage of him learning to play football for the movie, he wrote on Instagram: "Mean Girls came out 21 years ago today. This is footage of me practicing kicking a soccer ball for the scene. I kicked a soccer ball for the first time in my life when filming this. How did I do? Butch?"The Hallmark star thanked his fans for the "support" they have...

Chloe Fineman tries her best to provide sex advice in the trailer for Hulu’s comedy feature Summer of 69.

Jillian Bell co-wrote and directed the movie that begins streaming May 9. Rounding out the cast are Sam Morelos, Matt Cornett, Charlie Day, Natalie Morales, Nicole Byer, Liza Koshy, Alex Moffat and Paula Pell.

Summer of 69 centers on Abby (Morelos), an awkward high school senior seeking guidance from an exotic dancer (Fineman) in her efforts to seduce her crush prior to graduation.

“Every person on earth was more sexually experienced than me — and then everything changed,” Morelos says in the trailer. “I found my sexual fairy godmother in a strip club.”

Later in the footage, Morelos declares, “I am a sex machine.” This leads Fineman to respond, “Yes, bitch! There she is.”

Bell makes her feature directorial debut from a script she co-wrote with Liz Nico and Jules Byrne. Producers include Bell,...

Although the upcoming Freaky Friday sequel might transport some audiences back to the early aughts, one unfortunate aspect of the Og will stay in the past.

Freakier Friday director Nisha Ganatra recently opened up about the “complicated” task of updating the “beloved” original 2003 film’s Asian representation following “some stereotypes that were hurtful.”

“I remember watching it and feeling torn, mostly about the Asian representation, and also the soundtrack that was being used,” Ganatra told Entertainment Weekly. “It was something I brought up right away when I had my first meetings with the producers. I had a moment of the presentation that was like, ‘problematic Asian representation!'”

In Freaky Friday, Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and daughter Anna (Lindsay Lohan) have an argument during a family dinner at a Chinese restaurant, which is overheard by the eatery’s owner Pei-Pei (Rosalind Chao) and her mother (Lucille Soong), who intervenes with...

Asian members of the team behind “Freakier Friday,” Disney’s upcoming sequel to the 2003 comedy “Freaky Friday,” agree that the original film featured some “hurtful” choices surrounding its Asian characters. But in the new film, releasing in August, they sought to “make it right.”

In the 2003 film, Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan play a mother and daughter who are constantly at odds. When they get into a loud argument at a Chinese restaurant, owner Pei-Pei (Rosalind Chao) tells her mother (Lucille Soong) to stay out of it, but Soong’s character intervenes, offering Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) a platter of fortune cookies. “This isn’t really a good time,” Anna says, but Pei-Pei’s mother insists, before speaking in hurried Chinese. To shut her up, Tess and Anna take the cookies, which turn out to be magical, leading them to switch bodies until they can better understand each other.

“Freakier Friday” director Nisha Ganatra said her upcoming “Freaky Friday” sequel will correct the 2003 film’s “hurtful” stereotypical portrayal of two Asian characters and Asian cultures.

While she recognized that “Freaky Friday” is a “beloved” film, she acknowledged that it depicted stereotypes “that were hurtful overall.”

“I remember watching it and feeling torn, mostly about the Asian representation, and also the soundtrack that was being used” in the scenes at the restaurant, Ganatra explained in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “It was something I brought up right away when I had my first meetings with the producers. I had a moment of the presentation that was like, ‘problematic Asian representation!'”

The harmful depiction in question is related to the film’s general story plot of how Lindsay Lohan’s Anna and Jamie Lee Curtis’ Tess swap bodies. In the film, after watching the mother and daughter go at it...

Freaky Friday was nearly a very different movie. Instead of Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, it was originally meant to star Annette Bening and Michelle Trachtenberg. When Bening dropped out, the producers contacted Curtis - but she wasn't sure.

Curtis had a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old at home, and she wasn't willing to leave them to go be a mother to a fictional 15-year-old. She would only sign onto the movie if it was going to be filming near to her home. "If it filmed outside California, I wouldn't have been in the movie," she told Entertainment Weekly as part of their coverage for Freaky Friday's sequel, Freakier Friday.

She went on, "If it shot in Vancouver, I wouldn't have done it, because I had kids," And that made her relate to the themes of the movie, especially the journey her character Tess goes on. "Balancing motherhood is...

The director of Freakier Friday wanted to do one thing very differently from the original movie. Nisha Ganatra set out to remove the Asian stereotypes from the sequel to the Noughties classic.

Though Freaky Friday is beloved, some have commented on the Asian stereotypes present within the film. The reason Tess (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Anna (Lindsay Lohan) body-swap is because of some fortune cookies given to them by an old Chinese lady. Anna later calls this out with a yell of, “She did something, some strange Asian voodoo.” To a modern-day audience, that line could be interpreted as racist by some viewers.

Back in the Noughties, there was not as much concern with casting in Hollywood about anti-racism and Asian representation... but now, massive strides have been made. Ganatra wants to continue those strides. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, she described the Asian portrayal in the first movie as "complicated,...

Fans of Freaky Friday shouldn't hold their breath when it comes to seeing one original franchise star making a cameo appearance in the sequel, Freaky Friday. Nisha Ganatra, the sequel's director, revealed how hard she tried to get the actor to return.

Long before Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis starred in the 2003 theatrical film, a young Jodie Foster launched the franchise as Annabel Andrews in the original Disney adaptation of Mary Rodgers' 1972 novel. Despite being the star that catapulted Freaky Friday to worldwide recognition, Foster doesn't seem to have any interest in returning. "We begged her," Ganatra told Entertainment Weekly. "She's not going to do it."

People went on to report how Ganatra had a plan ready for Foster to make a nostalgic cameo in Freakier Friday. "We were going to make her the principal at the school," the filmmaker explained. "Honestly, we tried everything." She also claimed that...

On a list of the best body swap movies, Freaky Friday will always rank high. The 2003 fantasy comedy film, starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, was a commercial hit. Twenty-two years later, the sequel, Freakier Friday, is gearing up for its highly anticipated August 8, 2025, release date. Fans of the film aren't the only ones ecstatic about Lohan and Curtis's on-screen reunion as mother and daughter. The duo have been vocal about how their relationship, nostalgia, and motherhood played a part in reviving their beloved roles. For Lohan specifically, being a mom gave her new insight into how to play a mature version of Anna Coleman.

The stars and their characters have grown since viewers last saw them as Anna and Tess Coleman, a mom and daughter who ate fortune cookies and magically switched bodies as a result. Curtis is now an Academy Award winner, and Lohan has broken out of the child star image,...

Were Lindsay Lohan’s rehab costs crazy?(Photo Credit –Instagram)

In the early 2000s, she was the queen of teen comedies with hits like Mean Girls and Freaky Friday, but behind the scenes, Lindsay Lohan struggled with addiction. Her run-ins with the law and multiple stints in rehab became a tabloid fixture, with the actress often in the headlines for the wrong reasons.

The cost of rehab and the toll it took on her career were staggering. Not only did Lindsay face rehab expenses that skyrocketed, but her ongoing troubles caused her to lose out on major roles, including high-profile films and endorsement deals. As she tried to regain control of her life, her once-bright future seemed clouded by her personal battles, leaving many to wonder what might have been.

Despite being heralded as one of the most iconic scream queens of all time after playing Laurie Strode in the Halloween franchise, Jamie Lee Curtis once claimed that she didn't like horror movies. However, she sure loves being part of them!

Not only did Curtis return for Blumhouse's Halloween reboot trilogy, but she also recently joined the cast of new film Return to Sender with Late Night with the Devil star David Dastmalchian. Next, Deadline reports that the actress will executive produce a television show for Blumhouse based on Marisha Pessl's bestselling novel Darkly.

Released in November 2024, Darkly is a YA mystery thriller novel published by Penguin Random House. It is about a girl named Arcadia "Dia" Gannon and her obsession with a series of intriguingly terrifying games and toys designed by the Darkly empire. She looks up to the lead game designer, Louisiana Veda who suffers a mysterious death,...

Michael Lohan is heading back to jail.

The 64-year-old estranged father of Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to almost a year in jail by a judge in Florida on Wednesday (April 23), according to TMZ.

His court appearance where he received his sentencing stems from a probation violation after being arrested back in February for allegedly assaulting his estranged wife in Texas.

Michael Lohan is looking at jail time.

In February, we reported on Lohan’s latest arrest on a pair of very familiar charges.

Authorities accused him of allegedly assaulting Kate Major (again) and allegedly violating his probation (again).

Now, he’s unlikely to see the outside of a Florida jail cell until next year. And that’s only part of what’s coming.

For years, Bravo has had a lock on the traditional reality series with its Real Housewives universe, a franchise that has spawned 12 shows, nine of which are still on the air, as well as 25 standalone spinoffs.

But over the last year or two, The Walt Disney Company has been quietly building its own reality world, particularly on Hulu, one that it hopes can rival the NBCUniversal cabler, leaning into prettier young things that can flit between shows and flirt between casts.

This was evidenced by Hulu’s Get Real event on Tuesday night at Casa Lago – a sprawling estate in Beverly Hills with a private lake and polo arena – that saw cast members of shows such as The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, The Kardashians, Love Thy Nader and Got To Get Out mix with the likes of Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper, executive producer of boat dating show Overboard For Love,...

Meanwhile, if you didn’t see, Lindsay and Jaimee Lee Curtis recently gave details about what to expect for Freakier Friday.

There used to be a time when Lindsay Lohan could pick out any role she wanted in Hollywood. That was before everything went haywire for LiLo. Her fall from grace was so prominent, it nearly wiped her presence away from our screens for an entire decade. Gone were the days of childish innocence she brought to life in The Parent Trap, or even her queen-bee energy from Mean Girls.

DUIs, possession, defamation, scandals—it almost felt like Lohan had become a magnet for everything that would bring her negative PR. But then again, the 2000s were crazy times. For Lohan, though, things would turn crazier. From getting busted twice while driving intoxicated, to lying to the cops about a bundle of ‘white powder’ in her pockets, and countless other charges and rehabilitation stints, she’d seen everything.

Well, in 2025, the Lindsay Lohan comeback has got its pedal to the metal.

Looks like Willian Levy is taking a page straight out of Lindsay Lohan’s 2007 playbook. The Resident Evil actor was recently arrested on charges of public intoxication, disor derly conduct, and trespassing on private property – an incident that feels all too familiar to anyone who’s followed Lohan’s chaotic mid-2000s headlines.

While Lohan has turned her life around, this recent situation with Levy has got the fans worried. They’re wondering if this is just a one-time incident or if the actor is heading towards a more controversial path.

Either way, his name on the internet is now showing up for all the wrong reasons. Let’s dive deeper to understand what actually happened and why it is giving serious déjà vu to Lindsay Lohan fans.

Somewhere amid the mounds of "content" on Netflix's servers are some pretty good romantic comedies. The streamer isn't too bad when it comes to this particular genre, offering everything from beloved '90s classics such as "Notting Hill" to more modern hits such as Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney's frisky and fun "Anyone But You." Sadly, "Life or Something Like It" probably won't be making any lists of the best Netflix rom-coms anytime soon — though there might be hope yet.

What on earth is "Life or Something Like It?" Well, that sort of gets to the issue with this movie, which is that nobody saw it when it debuted in theaters back in 2002. Starring Angelina Jolie and Edward Burns, the film follows a reporter who interviews a supposed prophet, only to be told that her demise is imminent and that she's wasting her life. Yes, this is a rom-com,...

NBCUniversal brought out the big guns for this year's Emmy kick-off luncheon.

Renée Zellweger, Tina Fey, Natasha Lyonne, and Amanda Seyfried were among the bold-faced names making the scene at the Sls Hotel's Garden Room and Terrace in Beverly Hills. The annual event honors new and returning award-aspiring shows within the entire NBCU family. Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson served as the DJ.

"People are kind," Zellweger told Gold Derby about the positive fan reaction to her Peacock film Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. "I have wonderful conversations with folks about the things that they related to and how they felt in watching it. They really, like me, love spending time in her universe, so it's a cool thing when you walk around and have something in common with folks that you've never met before."

In her free time, the two-time Oscar-winning actress for Cold Mountain (2003) and Judy (2019) is "finally catching up on Yellowstone.

Lindsay Lohan was recently a guest on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live.

The actress reunited at one point with Mean Girls co-star Lacey Chabert and confirmed that she may one day star in an Ann-Margaret biopic.

The response to Lohan’s appearance, however, focused a lot less on what she said with her mouth … and a lot more with how she looked.

Especially when it came to her face.

Lohan has been largely out of the spotlight for a number of years.

She has appeared in the occasional music video or narrated the occasional television series over the past few years, but it’s easy to forget at this point that Lohan was a celebrity gossip mainstay for years back in the early and mid-2000s.

Not always for the most positive of reasons, either.

Last year's surprise horror hit was "The Substance," Coralie Fargeat's brilliant, bloody body horror deconstruction of Hollywood's relationship with aging and beauty standards. The Oscar-winning film helped skyrocket Demi Moore into her first Academy Awards nomination over 40 years after first breaking into the industry, along the way showing mainstream moviegoers there's a hell of a lot of beauty to be found in cinema for real sickos. As poignant as it was popular, "The Substance" sharply subverted what it means to be "beautiful" and what self-love can look like, but it was also graphic, goopy, and gross enough that audiences were said to be vomiting during their screenings. Many feared that "The Substance" was a fluke, an indie horror Cinderella story of a film scorned by a major studio and picked up by a smaller, art-house distributor to become the belle of the ball. Fortunately, for those craving more stories like the aforementioned grotesquerie,...
