Jennifer Lopez is seemingly always busy, juggling her acting and music career all at once. Her work ethic has paid off big time over the years. But despite Lopez’s accomplishments, an insider claimed Affleck felt his ex-wife was capable of much more.
Ben Affleck Allegedly Felt That Jennifer Lopez Needed to Change Her Career Plans Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck | Rodin Eckenroth/FilmMagic
If anyone knows what a career overhaul takes, it’s Affleck. Although his career was off to a good start after Good Will Hunting, his stock plummeted quickly in the mid-2000s. Doing a long stretch of under-performing films, in addition to his controversial relationship with Lopez at the time, drove Affleck away from Hollywood.
This hiatus was needed, however, as it inspired Affleck to reboot his career. He returned by acting in features like Hollywoodland and directing Gone Baby Gone, intentionally focusing on much more meaningful projects.

Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign rolled into Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon, marking her first major fundraiser in the city and bringing along a starry group of supporters.
The vice president hosted an afternoon event at the J.W. Marriott in downtown Los Angeles, with a lineup of celebrity speakers and guests that included Stevie Wonder, Sterling K. Brown, Lily Tomlin, Demi Lovato, Keegan-Michael Key and Jessica Alba; Alanis Morissette and Halle Bailey also performed during the fundraiser.
Inside the event — press was only allowed in for Harris’ remarks — the presidential candidate took the stage to Beyoncé’s hit song “Freedom,” alongside an announcer declaring, “please welcome our next president of the United States” to a standing ovation from the crowd.
“Oh, it’s good to be home,” Harris responded to the applause; though she grew up in Oakland, she has deep ties to Los Angeles, still owning a home in Brentwood with her husband,...

Exclusive: (Updated from original 3:54 Pm post) Hollywood figures made a big showing this afternoon as Vice President Kamala Harris made her first appearance at a Los Angeles fundraiser since becoming the Democratic nominee.
The downtown event raised more than $28 million, according to a campaign source.
“Every four years we say this is the one. This here is the one,” Harris told the crowd at the Jw Marriott hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
She received three standing ovations during her nearly half-hour of remarks. That came when she mentioned her debate with Donald Trump, then when she pledged to sign legislation restoring Roe vs. Wade, and then when she told the crowd, “Let me be clear. We are going to win.”
Today’s gathering was a mix of big donors willing to pay almost $1 million to be there and those shelling out just $500, with price levels sold out as of this morning.

Jennifer Lopez has clearly gotten a kick out of her recent Netflix films, as the performer is preparing to return to the streamer for her next feature.
Lopez and Ted Lasso standout Brett Goldstein are set to star in the Netflix rom-com Office Romance, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Goldstein is writing the script with Joe Kelly. Plot details have not been shared, and a director is not yet attached.

2016 was a pretty good year for FX as five wins at the Primetime Emmys for The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story helped it to a total 18 trophies at the 68th Emmy Awards.
Eight years on, with new owners in the shape of The Walt Disney Company, it was an even better night for John Landgraf’s team.
FX won 36 awards across Primetime Emmys and the Creative Arts Awards, helped by record-breaking showings for Shōgun and The Bear. It was FX’s best ever Emmy performance and its most significant since the night Courtney B. Vance, Sarah Paulson, Sterling K. Brown picked up awards for the Ryan Murphy-created limited series, as well as a win for Baskets’ Louie Anderson.
The network managed to break the hegemony of HBO and Netflix, which have been battling it out for most wins since the Reed Hastings-founded company entered original programming over a decade ago.

TV Insider recently caught up with Justin Hartley, who’s currently filming Season 2 of Tracker in Vancouver, Canada. The show’s star and executive producer revealed that his day typically starts at 5 a.m., before the sun rises (in the dark), and ends well after sundown (in the dark).
Still, the 47-year-old is very grateful for his life and success, a path that wasn’t easy. He began in the land of daytime drama when he stepped into the role of Fox Crane for the NBC soap, Passions, in 2002. He had appearances on primetime shows like Smallville, Revenge, and Mistresses, along the way. Hartley scored another major sudsy role, playing Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless from 2014-2016.
Still, Hartley shot into the spotlight shortly after 2016 when he became one of the ‘Big Three’, playing Kevin Pearson, alongside Crissy Metz (Kate Pearson) and Sterling K. Brown (Randall) on NBC’s hit drama,...

For a while, Maya Rudolph was criminally underappreciated by the TV academy; by 2019 she had only been nominated for three Emmys. But then it’s like a switch was flipped and suddenly it was raining Emmys. She won five times over the next four years: Best Comedy Guest Actress twice for “Saturday Night Live” (2020-2021) and Best Character Voice-Over Performance three times for “Big Mouth”. She’s nominated in both categories again this year, as well as in Best Comedy Actress for her Apple TV+ series “Loot.” Of those, she’s projected to win the voice-over award, which would put her in elite company.
To date only three actors have collected four trophies for character voice-over performances: “The Simpsons” stars Hank Azaria and Dan Castellaneta and “Family Guy” mastermind Seth MacFarlane. That includes years when Best Voice-Over Performance was a juried award and combined character voice-overs with narrators. Character and...

Robert Downey Jr. could be about to join an exclusive actors club by becoming just the fourth person to win both an Oscar and an Emmy for acting in the same calendar year.
Downey Jr. won Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Oscars for his portrayal of Lewis Strauss in “Oppenheimer.” That Christopher Nolan biopic, which also won Best Picture, followed Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer and depicted the scientist’s creation, and later guilt, of the atomic bomb. Downey Jr’s Strauss was a politician who was once an ally of Oppenheimer only to become his rival. Downey Jr’s portrayal of Strauss, the film’s villain, made him the obvious choice for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar and that remained throughout awards season. He won the BAFTA, Critics Choice, Golden Globe, and SAG awards before he eventually won the Academy Award, beating fellow Oscar nominees Sterling K. Brown...

No two horror movie villains ever seemed more ideally suited for one another than the Predator and the Alien, the cinema’s greatest hunter and cinema’s deadliest beast.
Created by very different filmmakers in totally different decades, the idea that these two creatures co-existed stems from a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Easter egg in “Predator 2,” which briefly showed the head of the iconic Alien inside of a Predator’s trophy case. In the years to come they would share top billing in comic books, video games and eventually a couple of movies, to the extent that the two franchises now feel indelibly linked, even when new installments of each monster’s movie makes no mention of the other.
Let’s take a look at both series, together, to see how the films stack up individually and as a unit.

Brown, Carol Burnett, Larry David, Donald Glover, Jon Hamm, Steve Martin, Bob Odenkirk, Maya Rudolph, Martin Short, Jean Smart, Holland Taylor and Kristen Wiig all hit nine or more career Emmy bids. However, Sarah Paulson stands alone in that all nine of her nominations came for nine different projects.
This year, Paulson is up for her guest stint on Prime Video’s “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” in which she plays an unnamed “Therapist” in the episode titled “Couples Therapy (Naked & Afraid).” She treats married spies John Smith (Donald Glover) and Jane Smith (Maya Erskine) at her luxurious home, and she gets into a bit of trouble when she reveals she’s been recording their therapy sessions.

Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown and Chris Sullivan are revisiting a key scene from their late co-star Ron Cephas Jones that holds a new meaning now that Jones is gone.
On This Was Us, the podcast she co-hosts with her This Is Us co-stars where the three dive back into the world of the Pearsons to relive each episode and all the life lessons that came with it, Moore reflected on a scene where Jones’ character William Hill, the biological father of Brown’s Randall Pearson, is asked about his outlook on life while battling cancer.
“How does it feel to be dying?” he’s asked. Moore reads his answer from the script:
It feels like all these beautiful pieces of life are flying all around me and I’m trying to catch them. The pieces are moving faster now and I can’t catch them all. I can feel them slipping through my fingertips.

Could Sean Penn make “Milk” today?
It’s a question the actor answered himself, in a recent profile by Maureen Dowd in the New York Times. “It could not happen in a time like this,” he said, of his performance as the slain gay politician. “It’s a time of tremendous overreach.

In fairness, it is perhaps hard to believe that the precise way “Milk...

In September 2021, Olivia Colman bagged her first career Emmy for “The Crown” despite having failed on her Oscar bid for “The Father” five months earlier. This made her the 16th performer to triumph at the Emmys after going home empty-handed at the same year’s Oscars and the fourth to do so during the 21st century.
