Can you believe it’s been over 20 years since House first debuted?!

The award-winning Fox medical drama centered on Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), who is devoid of anything resembling bedside manner and wouldn’t even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor.

While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a brilliant diagnostician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts afford him widespread respect. An infectious disease specialist, House thrives on the challenge of solving medical puzzles in order to save lives.

Among the cast include stars like Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, Jesse Spencer, Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Morrison, Peter Jacobson, Olivia Wilde, Kal Penn, Amber Tamblyn, Odette Annable and Charlyne Yi.

First premiering in November 2004, the series ran for eight seasons and wrapped in...

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants cast almost looked very different!

Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn played best friends united by a pair of pants that followed them on huge adventures in two movies starting back in 2005.

The women are still supporting each other in 2024. In fact, America, Amber and Alexis recently issued a statement in support of Blake amid her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

They are part of what made the franchise as successful as it is, but we’ve learned that several other big actresses were in the running for the roles.

Producer Debra Martin Chase named six stars who were could have played Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget during an appearance on the Hollywood Gold podcast.

The shortlist included one actress who was famous for her role on The O.C. and several other young actresses who have gone far in Hollywood. Debra shared...

General Hospital celebrated 62 years on the air on Tuesday, April 1. Laura dedicated a new cardiac center in Monica’s honor and thanked Sonny for his contribution in making it happen. Lucy showed up and talked about the Nurse’s Ball. Anna was…there. Now let’s talk about who — and what — didn’t make an appearance.

The Lady of the Hour

The hospital was named after Monica (Leslie Charleson), a long-time Gh cardiac surgeon. Charleson passed away this past January. She hadn’t been seen on-screen in years.

Would this have been the perfect occasion to announce Monica’s death and to celebrate her life and legacy? Instead, Tracy (Jane Elliot) told us Monica couldn’t make it and referred to some vague breathing issues. Is the show planning to do a tribute to Monica and Charleson at some point down the line? Or do they plan to keep her in limbo indefinitely?...

I’m a sucker for a good vampire film, whether it features a sexy vampire like Bram Stoker’s Dracula or a nasty one like 30 Days of Night. But one of my personal favorite tales about bloodsuckers is an underrated 2010 release by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig titled Daybreakers. Boasting an all-star cast and an interesting twist on vampire lore, it didn’t make waves upon initial release. And yet, I still find myself banging the proverbial drum for this film, especially today, because the movie is now streaming for free on Vizio WatchFree+.

Daybreakers takes place in 2019 (ten years in the future upon the film’s initial release) where a plague has transformed a majority of the human population into vampires. But without any humans from which to feed, the vampires are now facing a food crisis. Ethan Hawke plays Edward Dalton, a hematologist working on creating a blood substitute to save humanity.

Who doesn’t love a good urban legend? From Bloody Mary and the ghostly passenger to alligators in the sewers and a killer in the backseat, we love an ominous story passed to us from a friend of a friend. We know it probably isn’t true, but … what if it is?

While urban legends filter through the horror genre, no film infuses this classic example of modern folklore with millennial tech like Gore Verbinski’s The Ring. Adapted from Hideo Nakata’s 1998 shocker Ringu, this remake follows a string of bizarre deaths all leading back to an ominous VHS tape rumored to kill anyone who dares to watch.

Rachel (Naomi Watts) is an investigative journalist and single mom who vows to find out how her niece Katie (Amber Tamblyn) really died. Seven days after watching an ominous home movie, the teenage girl...

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movies are beloved to this day, and that’s thanks in large part to the cast of talented stars!

The first movie in the franchise hit theaters 20 years ago in 2005, introducing fans to best friends played by Alexis Bledel, Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera and Blake Lively who are united… by a universally flattering pair of pants. They got back together again for a sequel in 2008, and there’s been talk of a third movie over the years.

All these years later, the cast is still in the news thanks to their enduring friendships.

We got curious about how much everyone was worth and did some digging to put together a ranking of the franchise’s biggest stars based on their estimated net worth! Who comes out on top? The character was introduced in the second movie and beats out the next closest earner by $10 million.

The music world just lost another great. Larry Tamblyn, who helped start the legendary garage-rock band The Standells, passed away on Friday, March 21, at 82. He was the man behind the keyboard and sometimes stepped up to the mic as lead singer, a true standout in the 1960s rock scene.

The Standells might not ring a bell for younger folks today, but their impact is huge. Back in the day, people called them the “punk band of the 1960s,” and people can hear their influence in bands like the S*x Pistols and Ramones. Their anthem, Dirty Water, still gets the crowd going at Boston Red Sox and Bruins home games.

But who was Larry Tamblyn when he wasn’t rocking out? Beyond that famous song and garage sound was a guy with a life story most fans never got to hear.

Larry Tamblyn, the founding frontman for The Standells, brother of actor Russ Tamblyn and uncle of Amber Tamblyn, has died. He was 82.

The musician’s nephew Dennis Tamblyn announced that his uncle died on Saturday, paying tribute to Larry, who he noted “was still making music well into his later years.”

“My uncle Larry Tamblyn passed away today. I have very fond memories of him and his family over the years,” began Larry in the Facebook post.

“He lived an incredible life. He was in a band called The Standells whose hit 1966 song ‘Dirty Water’ reached No. 11 on the Billboard charts and is still played to this day whenever the Red Sox or the Bruins win a home game. They also played on an episode of The Munsters.”

Dennis continued, “A few years ago, The Standells played at Hotel Congress here in Tucson and Larry stayed with me. It was...

It’s almost that time of the year on General Hospital. The weather is getting warmer and pretty soon the Metro Court pool will be open. Will the latest batch of teenagers be hanging out there and dealing with new drama?

The Good Old Days

Gh has always done a good job of representing teenage soap stories. There was the original foursome of Lucky (Jonathan Jackson), Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst), Emily (ex-Amber Tamblyn), and Nikolas (the late Tyler Christopher). This group brought the teen angst and gave us first loves and real friendships. Port Charles also had a heartbreaking storyline with teens Robin (ex-Kimberly McCullough) and Stone (ex-Michael Sutton).

The most recent group centered around Josslyn (Eden McCoy) and Trina (Tabyana Ali). The boys in their group were originally Oscar (ex-Garren Stitt) and Cameron (ex-William Lipton). After Oscar’s tragic death, they added Dev (ex-Ashton Arbab), who also died,...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my favorite TV show of all time. While I have often seen Dawn, Buffy’s little sister, referred to as one of the worst TV characters—sometimes even the worst—she was one of my absolute favorites from the series. The news of actor Michelle Trachtenberg’s passing still doesn’t seem real, and has made me reflect on both her career and her role as Buffy’s little sister, who was actually so much more than that.

As a teenager, I was positively smitten with Michelle Trachtenberg. That never entirely went away. She has always been one of those actors for whom I will watch whatever the movie is solely because I see that she’s in it. It is a surreal feeling to know that’s happened for the last time. I’ve been grateful, as new generations and audiences discover Buffy, to...

House is officially two decades old!

The medical drama first premiered in November 2004 on Fox, and it went on for eight seasons, before ending in May 2012.

The Emmy-winning series focused on Dr. Gregory House, who is devoid of anything resembling bedside manner and wouldn’t even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a brilliant diagnostician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts afford him widespread respect. An infectious disease specialist, House thrives on the challenge of solving medical puzzles in order to save lives.

Ashton Kutcher’s Walden Schmidt was never the right replacement for Charlie Sheen’s Charlie Harper in Two and a Half Men. Replacing the sharp-tongued womanizer Charlie wasn’t an easy task and Chuck Lorre didn’t go for an exact replacement either. Kutcher’s character was more of a goofball and he himself admitted that he wasn’t trying to be Charlie Sheen/Harper in any way.

However, Lorre did a decent job with another replacement in the series. When Angus T. Jones, who played Alan Harper’s son Jake, left the show at the end of Season 10, he was replaced with Amber Tamblyn’s Jenny Harper. She was introduced in the first episode of the eleventh season as Charlie’s estranged daughter.

The Hollywood star Blake Lively, now embroiled in the legal drama surrounding It Ends With Us, had her breakthrough with the 2005 coming-of-age comedy-drama The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. While the film remains a beloved classic for its heartfelt story and relatable characters, Travis Kelce’s brother found a plot hole in the movie.

Travis Kelce, boyfriend of Lively’s pop star friend Taylor Swift, and his brother Jason Kelce reviewed the film on their podcast, where the latter noted his disappointment in regards to how the ‘Pants‘ in the film’s title doesn’t really add up to the film’s plot in the way that he expected.

Let’s face it: Hollywood thrives on its fair share of juicy headlines. The thing is, this time it’s not about which A-lister’s lip gloss is popping or who’s got the most Instagram followers—it’s a tale of s*xual harassment accusations, public denials, and celebrity alliances.

When Justin Baldoni, known for his role in Jane the Virgin, made headlines by announcing the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel It Ends with Us, fans of the book were over the moon. The story, which focuses on Lily Bloom—a young woman caught in an emotionally abusive relationship—was already a viral sensation, especially thanks to its massive following.

Then came the casting of Blake Lively, a name synonymous with beauty, grace, and her iconic role in Gossip Girl. But things took an unexpected turn.

Blake Lively may be the woman of the hour, but not for the reasons she hoped. After starting in the 2024 movie It Ends With Us, the adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel, the actress is now caught up in lawsuits! While those following the drama online or are just in general chronically online know, through Justin Baloni’s accounts now know, that working with Lively hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

Emily Quartermaine was the moral compass for General Hospital’s Quartermaine family until she was murdered in 2007. Originally portrayed by Amber Tamblyn, Natalia Livingston took over the role in 2003 and made the character her own. She’s still keeping busy, having appeared on a few TV shows and movies and becoming a producer. Now, she unveils her fantastic new online shop with a hilarious video.

Things Started Off Seriously

Who knew Natalia Livingston could be so funny? She started off being serious and wrote about her new business venture, posting it on Instagram. “Hi everyone! My little ones and I opened an Etsy shop for nursery and children’s room wall art prints plus lots more!” she wrote, continuing with: “We’re super excited and would love for you to check it out at www.bunnybowprints.etsy.com (link in bio) and follow us on Instagram at @bunnybowprints!

As the new year unfolded, Los Angeles faced the terrifying fury of wildfires—powerful enough to leave even the most secure Hollywood mansions trembling. By the time it was over, more than 30,000 residents were forced out of their homes, and California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency. James Woods, the Oscar-nominated actor known for his sharp-witted roles and controversial opinions, saw his own Pacific Palisades home reduced to ashes.

It’s hard to imagine a fate worse than watching your house go up in flames, but somehow, for Woods, the story didn’t end there. Before we start lighting candles or sending thoughts and prayers, let’s remember this isn’t exactly the first time Woods has made headlines. Back in 2017, Amber Tamblyn, actress, and outspoken activist, leveled a serious claim against Woods.

‘General Hospital’ (Gh) spoilers reveal that Gh vet Amber Tamblyn, who played Emily Quartermaine on the soap, has extended her support to actress Blake Lively for her lawsuit against former B&b star Justin Baldini (ex-Graham Darros).

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Tamblyn Played Emily Quartermaine From 1995 to 2001

Tamblyn played Emily for six years, from 1995 to 2001. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Emily Quartermaine, she was the adopted daughter of Alan Quartermaine (Stuart Damon) and Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson), who took Emily in as their own when her mother, Paige Bowen (Riley Steiner), died from breast cancer.

Emily was romantically linked to Nikolas Cassadine (then Tyler Christopher) and was Elizabeth Baldwin’s (Rebecca Herbst) Bff. Natalia Livingston took over the part of Emily in 2003.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldini recently worked on the film, “It Ends With Us.” They both starred in the movie, and he also directed the project.

The real-life strife between It Ends with Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni continues as Baldoni is reportedly in the process of preparing to file a counter-suit in response to Lively’s sexual harassment complaint. Lively filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department alleging that the It Ends with Us director exhibited “unprofessional” and “disturbing” behavior on the set of the movie.

Per the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper, Baldoni, his business partner Jamey Heath, and the publicists named in Lively’s complaint are preparing to file a counter-lawsuit in response to the complaint that Lively filed last week. The newspaper reported that the counter-suit is expected to be filed when the courts open again after the New Year break.

Lively claims Baldoni's smear campaign forced her to miss out on a major opportunity.

A major development in a growing Hollywood conflict is that director Justin Baldoni plans to sue actress Blake Lively in response to her lawsuit. This happened Following Lively’s 80-page legal complaint last week, in which she accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and retaliation.

Several publicists named in Lively’s complaint and Baldoni and his business partner Jamey Heath are said to file counterclaims when the courts reopen after the New Year. According to reports, the counter-suit will dispute Lively’s claims and say that her team, not Baldoni, leaked bad news to the media.

The film It Ends With Us, based on the best-selling book by Colleen Hoover about domestic violence, is at the heart of this argument. On a $25 million budget, the film did well at the box office, making more than $350 million. Lively’s lawsuit says that Baldoni acted badly on set and planned a campaign to hurt her image.

Hannah Berner is making things clear: She stands by Blake Lively, even if she made a joke about her in a special filmed earlier this month.

In an Instagram Story posted on Friday, Berner shared her support for Lively amid her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, despite joking about the actress during Netflix’s Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year, which premiered Friday.

During Berner’s part of the roast, Berner said on stage: “The word ‘cunt’ was trending this year. I don’t think Blake Lively was that bad.

The stars of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants developed a bond on set that is still going strong nearly 20 years later. However, the cast nearly looked very different.

Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn played best friends united by a pair of pants that followed them on huge adventures in two movies starting back in 2005.

The women are still supporting each other in 2024. In fact, America, Amber and Alexis recently issued a statement in support of Blake amid her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

They are part of what made the franchise as successful as it is, but we’ve learned that several other big actresses were in the running for the roles.

Before he became a Hollywood star, Justin Baldoni was a daytime soap actor. He once appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful. New details about his connection to the daytime drama have resurfaced in light of a lawsuit and exposé in The New York Times.

Who Did Baldoni Play on B&b?

Baldoni starred in the 2024 romantic blockbuster It Ends with Us alongside co-star Blake Lively. The movie is based on the popular novels by Colleen Hoover. It Ends with Us made $351 million worldwide on a $25 million budget.

Baldoni was unknown to some until the film made him a star. However, some soap fans might recognize him from B&b. He had a controversial role on the show. Baldoni played the role of Graham Darros in 2010.

His alter ego haunted the women of Los Angeles. Graham was a photographer who worked with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). She hired him for her new fashion campaign.

The Blake Lively cinematic universe (and beyond) has come forward to back the “It Ends With Us” actress, with everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to SAG-AFTRA itself publicly supporting her side in the now-public feud with director and co-star Justin Baldoni.

Lively recently filed a complaint alleging sexual harassment and other unwanted and inappropriate on-set behavior against Baldoni, director and co-star of “It Ends With Us,” as well as producer Jamey Heath, businessman Steve Sarowitz, crisis manager Melissa Nathan, publicist Jennifer Abel, Rwa Communications, Street Relations Inc. and Jed Wallace.

The complaint reveals a group meeting held to address Lively’s concerns, with husband Ryan Reynolds in attendance. Lively’s allegations included that Baldoni showed nude images of women, including his wife; spoke openly about pornography consumption and other personal sexual matters; and added sex scenes outside the studio-approved script.

Lively also alleged that she was retaliated against for her complaints,...

General Hospital (Gh) spoilers remind fans of a time when Amber Tamblyn played Emily Quartermaine on the soap. She entered the role as a child in 1995, which kickstarted her career in acting, and Tamblyn would move on to be a part of some successful primetime and movie projects.

One of them was The Sisterhood of Travelling Pants, which spawned a sequel. The actress and author worked on the films with Blake Lively, who has had her fair share of ups and downs in 2024: one example of this is a lawsuit that she recently launched against another soap alum Justin Baldoni (The Bold and the Beautiful’s ex-Graham Darros).

Blake Lively has always been a beloved figure in the industry, thanks to her standout roles in projects such as Gossip Girl and Green Lantern, to name a few. But out of the lot, her most successful movie to date would be It Ends with Us, in which she starred alongside actor Justin Baldoni. The movie became her highest-grossing film ever. But on the other hand, it also brought forth massive behind-the-scenes drama between the actors.

Things escalated to a whole new level recently when the actress filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, citing severe accusations. Her friends also rallied behind her to show their support in this matter. But while her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants family has stepped up in full support, her fellow Gossip Girl co-stars have remained notably silent on the matter.

Gossip Girl...

Amber Heard is speaking out after Blake Lively filed a lengthy complaint against Justin Baldoni, her It Ends With Us co-star and the film’s director, for sexual harassment and an alleged coordinated effort to destroy her reputation.

As the complaint noted, and had previously been reported, last summer Baldoni hired Melissa Nathan, a veteran PR crisis manager. Nathan was the same person employed by Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp during his high-profile defamation trial against the actress in 2022. (At the time, she worked at Hiltzik Strategies but in October 2023 left the company and in June 2024 she launched her own firm.)

Heard, who now lives in Spain, gave a statement to NBC News reacting to the allegations outlined in Lively’s complaint.

“Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on.’ I saw this firsthand and up close.

In 2024, It Ends With Us, the first adaptation of popular romance writer Colleen Hoover, premiered in theaters to huge success. Unfortunately, it also had even more drama in real life than it did on the big screen.

Starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, who also produced through his Wayfarer Studios, and directed, the film was a big hit, but it also drew criticism for Lively's carefree, girly promotion of the film. She recently filed a lawsuit against Baldoni citing sexual harassment and claiming Baldoni started a smear campaign against her when she stood up for a safe workspace. In the aftermath of the lawsuit, Baldoni denied the claims, but now the actress has received a new wave of support from her previous co-stars from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, It Ends With Us' author Colleen Hoover, and 2018's A Simple Favor director Paul Feig, via Variety.

Paul Feig has joined the group of supporters in Blake Lively’s corner.

Feig, who directed the actress in 2018’s A Simple Favor and its upcoming sequel, posted a message of support for Lively on X after she filed a lengthy complaint against Justin Baldoni, her It Ends With Us co-star and the film’s director, for sexual harassment and an alleged coordinated effort to destroy her reputation.

“I’ve now made two movies with Blake and all I can say is she’s one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I’ve ever worked with,” Feig posted. “She truly did not deserve any of this smear campaign against her. I think it’s awful she was put through this.”

Amber Heard has spoken out in support of Blake Lively amid her allegations of sexual harassment against “It Ends With Us” director and co-star Justin Baldoni. In a complaint filed on Friday published by The New York Times, Lively accused Baldoni of attempting to mount a smear campaign against her and it was noted that he had hired the same crisis PR team as Heard’s ex-husband Johnny Depp during their highly publicized 2022 defamation trial.

“Social media is the absolute personification of the classic saying ‘A lie travels halfway around the world before truth can get its boots on,'” Heard said in a statement on the situation to NBC News. “I saw this firsthand and up close. It’s as horrifying as it is destructive.”

In the 2022 trial, a jury unanimously found that Heard defamed Depp. He was awarded $5 million in punitive damages and $10 million in compensatory damages. Heard,...

Just when we thought we’d heard the last of the drama surrounding It Ends with Us, things picked right back up again last week when word came that a lawsuit was filed by star Blake Lively. The suit accuses her director and co-star, Justin Baldoni, of sexual misconduct on the set of the movie, as well as launching a "coordinated effort to destroy her reputation." Many have been chiming in with their thoughts on this whole mess since the news dropped on Friday, and now we can add another voice to the chorus: author Colleen Hoover.

Hoover penned It Ends with Us in 2016, which went on to sell millions of copies thanks not only to the film adaptation, but for the attention it received from the #BookTok community on TikTok back in 2021. Per Variety, the author posted a photo of herself and Lively to her Instagram Stories on Saturday,...

Blake Lively’s lawsuit against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni includes evidence pointing towards an alleged social media smear campaign against the actress. “We can’t write we will destroy her,” read one text from Melissa Nathan, the crisis management expert Baldoni hired. “You know we can bury anyone. But I can’t write that to him.” Nathan seemingly knows the takedown protocol well. She previously worked for Johnny Depp during his defamation trial against Amber Heard. And Heard knows how Lively might be feeling.

More and more famous people in Hollywood are speaking out in support of actor Blake Lively after she accused her co-star and director on “It Ends With Us” of sexual harassment. The lawsuit, sent to the California Civil Rights Department, says that Baldoni harassed Lively. At the same time, the movie was being made and then started a campaign of lies about her while the movie was being promoted.

Lively worked with director Paul Feig on “A Simple Favor,” who defended her professionalism. “One of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented, and kind people” he had ever worked with, he said. It was said that Lively was the target of a smear campaign on social media, and Feig spoke out against it.

It’s getting more attention because of the movie’s ideas. “It Ends With Us,” which is based on Colleen Hoover’s best-selling book of the same name,...

Hollywood stars have got Blake Lively’s back.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Amy Schumer were among those standing with the actress after she filed a bombshell complaint against her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment, including improvised kissing, and of enacting “a coordinated effort to destroy her reputation.” Baldoni has described the allegations as “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.”

On Instagram Stories, Paltrow picked her side by adding Lively’s Blake Brown haircare line to her Christmas wish list. She punctuated her message, posted on the day the complaint went public, with a queen emoji.

“I believe Blake,” was the simple message from Schumer on Instagram Stories. The comedian’s backing was notable given she has previously roasted Lively on her Inside Amy Schumer sketch show and later admitted: “We’re not close friends.”

Paul Feig, who directed Lively in A Simple Favor and its sequel,...
