Friends actor and everyone’s favorite, Chandler Bing, aka Matthew Perry, was someone who faced a lot of ups and downs in his life. Even after achieving much fame during the 90s, he dealt with his own demons of addiction and health issues. Before his passing, the actor had written his memoir, mentioning unknown details of his life.

In his 2022 book, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, he divulged quite a lot of secrets and personal moments. One such experience was related to his relationship with an ex-girlfriend, his almost-engagement, and his biggest heartbreak. This was his ‘Chandler Bing’ moment, as in, he managed to fumble and ruin a good thing because of panic and insecurities.

Ed Skrein has built a solid Hollywood career with diverse roles ranging from small indie crime movies to blockbuster superhero films. Skrein's versatile acting shines in his underrated projects, showcasing new sides of his personality in roles that differ from his usual confident characters. From playing a menacing drug dealer in Ill Manors to a heroic WWII pilot in Midway, Skrein's range as an actor is evident in each role.

After first catching people's attention as Daario Naharis in HBO's Game of Thrones, British actor Ed Skrein has built a solid movie career over the years. Skrein has appeared in a number of notable TV roles, such as the crime series The Tunnel and the miniseries All the Light You Cannot See, but audiences are likely more familiar with his movie roles which include small indie crime movies and giant superhero blockbusters.

Though Skrein was recast as Daario on Game of Thrones,...

The following contains major spoilers from NCIS Season 21, Episode 9, "Prime Cut," which debuted Monday, April 29 on CBS.

During the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, CBS filled some of its airtime with Yellowstone Season 1 episodes -- bringing the Paramount Network drama to a new audience. That fact makes NCIS Season 21, Episode 9, "Prime Cut" feel a little tongue-in-cheek. Because with its setting on a ranch and the main antagonist being the ruthless head of a powerful family, this episode comes off like a homage to the no longer Kevin Costner-led TV show.

"Prime Cut" focuses on the murder of a former Marine, who was already presumed dead two years earlier. But Tom Riley's body was never found, and the NCIS team realizes that he was working on a Texas ranch under an assumed name, where he ran afoul of a different kind of trouble. Meanwhile, Timothy McGee finds himself in a kitchen makeover conundrum.

Is it time for NCIS: Dallas?

Probably not, based on the events of NCIS Season 21 Episode 9.

It was a bad week for the franchise, with NCIS: Hawaii being canceled, without warning, after its third season.

And right after Sam Hanna of NCIS: Los Angeles fame came on board for an indefinite stay.

It appears his visit will be for only one season. That's a pity since this new lineup was only beginning to hit its stride.

Apparently, the franchise is sticking with sure things. Beyond a second season of NCIS: Sydney, what else is coming is very NCIS-centric: NCIS: Origins, aka the Young Jethro Gibbs Chronicles, and the unnamed adventures of Tony and Ziva.

Besides, Jo, the innkeeper/small-town sheriff, didn't strike me as a character around which to build a spinoff.

Maybe this episode was, to some degree, poking fun at Yellowstone. Then again, maybe not.

In any event,...

Contains spoilers for Murder is Easy including the identity of the murderer.

A Christmas Christie is a treat and Murder is Easy scratches that itch very nicely. Telling the story of a rural village of two halves where people keep getting murdered while the police seemingly do nothing, this latest adap written by Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre makes some meaty changes to Christie’s original story. Most noticeably our hero, Luke Fitzwilliam (David Jonsson) is no longer a white policeman but a young Nigerian diplomat. After encountering a lady on a train (Penelope Wilton) who tells him about the deaths in the village and that they were carried out by a respectable person with a point to make, and who is subsequently killed herself, Fitzwilliam feels it’s his duty to find out what’s going on.

In the village of Wychwood Fitzwilliam meets a racist doctor (played by Mathew Bayton...

Dark Heart season 2 is not confirmed, and there have been no updates on its return. The original pilot of Dark Heart was more violent, but changes were made for the premiere. If a second season is made, main characters like Staffe, Juliette, Di Josie Chancellor, and Sylvie are expected to return.

Dark Heart season 2 is the long-awaited continuation of the British crime drama. In Dark Heart, Detective Inspector Will "Staffe" Wagstaffe (Tom Riley) is a police officer haunted by the unsolved brutal murders of his parents at age 16. While his personal life is a mess thanks to the ghosts of his past, the hard reality of his life also makes him uniquely preoccupied with solving London's most grim and violent cases. Dark Heart had a very unusual release schedule. In 2016, a pilot was shot and released, but it wasn't until late 2017 that the show was commissioned for a series, leading...

Taking place less than a month after Friedkin died at the age of 87 on August 7, it was an emotional night for both.

Alongside tributes from this year’s jury president Damien Chazelle and Venice director Alberto Barbera, Dunne took to the stage to share anecdotes, including how Guillermo del Toro and J.J.

At first glance, Lizzy Caplan’s character from FX on Hulu’s “Fleishman Is in Trouble” could be seen as an alternate-universe version of herself, right down to the name. As Libby, Caplan plays the best friend of Toby (Jesse Eisenberg), a newly divorced man looking to recapture some normalcy in a life that refuses to cooperate. Libby is not only the narrator for the entire series but also serves as a sounding board for a friend liberated from a flagging marriage. Plenty of Libby’s attentiveness stems from the character’s avoidance of her own issues, including a stagnating career and a marriage that she’s happy not to discuss whenever the opportunity arises.

To be clear: That does not reflect Caplan, who, unlike Libby, is thriving professionally and personally.

Decades after its release and six Oscar nominations later, the enduring image associated with 1987's hit thriller "Fatal Attraction" is, for many, a boiled bunny. Enraged by her married partner's decision to call off their brief affair, Alex Forrest (played by Glenn Close) attempts to send a message to Dan Gallagher by cooking his child's pet bunny. The cinematic moment spawned a new term for a jilted paramour but didn't deeply examine why someone would take such drastic actions.

Now, with the embracing of the antihero onscreen and the real-life push for mental health conversations to be shrouded in less stigma, entertainment media is painting a fuller picture of why people make the decisions they do - and that's obvious in Paramount+'s "Fatal Attraction" streaming reboot.

Star Lizzy Caplan, 2023's Alex, tells Popsugar it was "hugely important" to get the mental health aspect of...

Lizzy Caplan has come a long way since starring as Janis Ian in the hit 2004 movie "Mean Girls," both personally and professionally. Since portraying the beloved witty and outspoken friend of Lindsay Lohan's Cady Heron, Caplan has landed roles on TV shows such as "Masters of Sex" and movies like the recent "Fleishman Is in Trouble." Currently, she stars alongside Joshua Jackson in Paramount+'s "Fatal Attraction."

Despite keeping a busy work schedule, Caplan has made family a priority. In fact, she's extremely proud of the life she's created with her husband, actor Tom Riley, whom she wed in September 2017, per People. "We got a lot of life in before we had a kid, so we were both very ready to do this," Caplan told Grazia USA in 2022.

In the same interview, she praised Riley for being the "father of the century." "And it's just so much more mind...

Lizzy Caplan is lying. Well, let’s rephrase that: Lizzy Caplan is selectively truth-telling. Lounging in a gray Texas Longhorns T-shirt and yellow-green leggings, Caplan has such a stripped-down, let’s-talk-about-it approachability, you would think we were having a late-night sleepover chat instead of a cross-continental Zoom. But before I tell you what Caplan’s not telling me, I’ll begin by saying that the ocean between us has no effect on the quality of conversation. We are digging into everything — Caplan’s blizzard of a work year, parenting a...

The Nevers is coming to Tubi today. Viewers will see all 12 episodes of the first season air in rotation on the streaming service after their initial airing. Unfortunately, they aren't available on-demand so one has to watch them "live". An ad-supported streaming service, Tubi has made a deal to also stream all seasons of cancelled HBO shows like Westworld, Raised by Wolves, and The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Production on The Nevers was shut down several times due to the pandemic. The historical sci-fi series debuted on HBO in April 2021 and aired for six episodes. The remaining six episodes were expected to be released in 2022 but never materialized. HBO cancelled the series in December and the search to find a new home to air the series began.

Starring Laura Donnelly, Ann Skelly, Olivia Williams, James Norton, Tom Riley, Pip Torrens, Ben...

The Nevers, one of the many shows pulled off HBO Max, has finally landed at its new home on Tubi, with all 12 episodes becoming available on the platform starting February 13. The episodes will release in a brief window during this time, and executive producer and showrunner Philippa Goslett divulged to TVLine some new information about six never-before-seen episodes that will premiere on Tubi the same day. The Nevers is set against the backdrop of Victorian London in August of 1896. During that time, a supernatural event rocks the city and leaves specific individuals bestowed with special abilities ranging from “wondrous to disturbing.” Their abilities are referred to as “turns,” and these gifted humans are pushed into a new underclass filled with danger. When it becomes clear this new class needs protection, widow Amalia True (Outlander‘s Laura Donnelly) and young inventor Penance Adair (Vikings‘ Ann Skelly) take it upon themselves. The Nevers also stars Olivia Williams,...

Netflix's The Woman in the House Across The Street From the Girl in the Window is a spoof of thrillers, and though the town of Canterbury Hill may be fictional, the series was filmed in a few idyllic locations. Anna Whitaker (Kristen Bell) doesn't leave her house much after a tragedy, and she begins to think that her neighbor has been killed. While much of the miniseries takes place inside Anna's house, Anna spends time in other locations, like a grocery store and a neighbor's home. She also goes to a lighthouse and an elementary school in the hopes of finding answers.

Anna has a condition called ombrophobia. Also grieving her young daughter's death. Anna spends most of her time sitting in her house drinking wine and thinking about the family that she has lost as she and her ex-husband Douglas (Michael Ealy) still care about each other but...
