Creating an original musical in the year 2024 is an achievement in its own right, even if it’s only part of the reason why Joshua Oppenheimer’s new narrative feature “The End” is so audacious. Audiences seem to flock to new musicals like “Wonka” and “Mean Girls” because they offer an only slight alteration on a previously existing work of intellectual property that they are already familiar with, and even this year’s divisive “Emilia Pérez” has ostensibly sold itself on being a “musical for people that hate musicals.” If there’s anything that “The End” does that is most worthy of admiration, it’s that Oppenheimer does not insert a hint of derisiveness or irony within his razzle dazzle, Golden Age style musical. If it weren’t for the very specific correlations made to recent events in world history, “The End” could have feasibly have been released in the...

Born in New York City in 1986, Lindsay Lohan began her performance ventures at the tender age of three as a Ford model, quickly becoming one of the most successful child models in the industry. Her early work included over 60 television commercials, including a notable Jell-o spot with Bill Cosby – an association that now carries uncomfortable undertones, given subsequent revelations about Cosby’s conduct.

However, it was in feature films that Lohan would truly shine. Her breakthrough came in 1998 with Disney’s remake of The Parent Trap, where, at age 11, she masterfully played dual roles as separated twin sisters. The performance showed the world not only her natural charm but also her remarkable technical skill for such a young actor, earning critical acclaim and establishing her as a rising star. The early 2000s marked Lohan’s ascension to Hollywood royalty. Her starring role in 2003’s Freaky Friday opposite Jamie Lee Curtis...

Here are all the details including the premiere dates.

This season, Lacey Chabert is once again starring in two Christmas movies. However, the Queen of Christmas did not make two Hallmark movies. Instead, she has two movies on two different networks. This season, she filmed one Christmas movie for Netflix called Hot Frosty. Hot Frosty is Lacey’s first Netflix movie ever. What is it about?

Jenna Fischer has been a part of the entertainment industry for over two decades. She immortalized the role of Pam Beesly in NBC’s The Office and became a household name with the comedy show.

While she kept impressing the audience with her performances, the actress had to go through a tough time recently as she battled breast cancer, but fortunately, she has won over the disease and is cancer-free now. As Jenna Fischer continues to work and give memorable performances, let’s look at the wealth accumulated by the actress so far.

Jenna Fischer’s Net Worth

Jenna Fischer has an estimated net worth of $12 million, which her role in The Office has significantly contributed to. The actress starred in all nine seasons of the hit mockumentary sitcom between 2005 and 2013. At the show’s beginning, she was paid $20,000 per episode.

Today's contender for least surprising news is that Universal is still begging Robert Zemeckis for another Back To The Future, despite the fact that he's on record that it won't happen until he and co-writer Bob Gale are dead. But in a Hollywood thirsty for "established IP," the studio can't...

Well, it’s often said that when a woman changes her hairstyle, she’s on the verge of a significant transformation; but what about the women who simply change their hair without ever cutting it? Wigs have been the unsung heroes of the film and television industry for decades, helping actors slip into character while keeping the audience entranced. Yet, as time has passed, our relationship with these hairpieces has taken an unexpected turn. Once seamlessly woven into the fabric of storytelling, today’s wigs often stand out like a sore thumb. So, what gives?

Take a stroll down memory lane, and you’ll find that wigs used to blend into the narrative like a charm. Nicole Kidman and Rachel McAdams, both of whom have donned wigs in their careers, present a fascinating case study. Kidman, for instance, donned a curly orange wig in Lion,...

Walmart is tapping into some star power to help promote its Black Friday deals this year. One year after reuniting the cast of Mean Girls for a Black Friday ad, Walmart is launching a 10-episode “adver-tainment” series starring Taye Diggs, Lisa Rinna, Ian Somerhalder, Anthony Ramos, Chad Michael Murray, Jake Shane and Walton Goggins.

Titled “Deals of Desire,” Walmart says the clips are “inspired by customers’ love for...

2006’s The Barbie Diaries was one of my favorite Barbie movies ever, despite being derivative of everything of the era, especially Mean Girls. Watching Time Cut had me feeling the same way, but I suppose it didn’t evoke as much of a positive reaction as the other one, and I’ll tell you why. Time Cut follows Lucy, a high schooler whose sister was murdered before she was born. Lucy finds herself wondering what it would’ve been like with her sister alive, only to learn about it when she accidentally time travels to a few days before her sister’s death. Look, the premise is madly intriguing, and that’s also why it’s a difficult film to make. I found myself circling back to the idea of a “wholesome” slasher, a “feel good” horror. Doesn’t make sense at all, yet it makes complete sense, no? Netflix...

November is considered by many to be the beginning of the holiday movie season, but it’s also when many of the prestige films that will vie for next year’s Oscars get released. In fact, a number of popular festival favorites will be hitting theaters this month and/or expanding from their limited releases, which means that Oscar season is now in full swing. Read on for Gold Derby’s November box office preview.

“Wicked” (Universal – Nov. 22)

This adaptation of the mega-hit Broadway musical based on Frank L. Baum‘s characters made famous in the 1939 film classic “The Wizard of Oz” might be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Directed by Jon M. Chu (“Crazy Rich Asians”), it stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, pop superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard, as well as recent Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, and Bowen Yang from “Saturday Night Live.

Hallmark+ is premiering a new competition reality show that is unlike anything they have ever done. This new series is called Finding Mr. Christmas. Hosted by Groomsmen star and Mean Girls favorite Jonathan Bennett, this new series puts 10 potential Christmas movie leads through a series of challenges required to be a Hallmark Hunk. Reba star Melissa Peterman is there to judge, as well as different guest stars, and Jonathan.

“Host Jonathan Bennett invites 10 unknown talents to compete for the role of a lifetime–a leading role in a Hallmark Christmas movie. Secrets are revealed at an Ugly Sweater Runway show and contestants pair up for their first acting scene with surprise scene partner and Hallmark movie favorite, Erin Cahill.”When does this premiere episode drop?

Netflix is turning its shows into Quibis now. Per Variety, the streamer is launching a new feature on their mobile app called "moments" that will allow viewers a new way to share videos from any series they'd like to share with their friends or respective fan armies on social media—kinda.

Walmart hopes customers see its next ad campaign as something more along the lines of a TV series rather than a TV commercial.

The retailing giant hopes to get consumers in the mood for Black Friday deals with a ten-part “series” of commercials that talk up great bargains that are available at its stores. Walmart has tapped actors including Taye Diggs, Lisa Rinna, Ian Somerhalder, Anthony Ramos, Chad Michael Murray Jake Shane and Walton Goggins to take part in vignettes that are likely to remind viewers of video favorites such as “Bridgerton,” “Yellowstone,” “Friday Night Lights” or “Vampire Diaries.”

Each ad contains a sneak preview of the next in the series, and also highlights a Black Friday offer. The first piece in the series, a preview of the campaign, is expected to surface Monday.

“The holidays are an incredibly busy time of year for people and an incredibly cluttered time of year for advertisers,...

Lacey Chabert has been part of the Hallmark Channel’s “old talent” roster for years. That shouldn’t be a bad thing.

Though her acting career has spanned decades, she is best known for Mean Girls. However, her list of roles on television, film, and voice acting in animation and games is nothing short of intimidating.

She is also only 42 years old. That’s not really “old” by any realistic metric.

So why did an executive for the Hallmark Channel allegedly push for the replacement of her and other “old talent” on the network’s projects?

According to a report by People, court documents reveal that 79-year-old Penny Perry, a former casting director for Hallmark, filed a complaint against multiple execs.

Back in 1968, George A. Romero made his feature directorial debut with one of the greatest horror movies ever made, Night of the Living Dead – and while doing so, he also introduced the world to flesh-eating ghouls that became a new definition for the world “zombie.” Romero, who passed away in 2017, went on to make several more zombie movies over the decades… and recently, his daughter Tina Romero revealed that she’s making her own feature directorial debut with a zombie movie called Queens of the Dead. Deadline reports that Charades has acquired the international sales rights to the project – and while doing so, they unveiled the first image from the film! You can check it out in this article.

Romero previously told Fangoria that the screenplay she wrote with novelist and comedian Erin Judge “takes place over one night, at the beginning of the dead rising. We find ourselves at...

Two exes dating siblings and spending the holidays together... what could go wrong? Well, according to the newly released Our Little Secret trailer, everything that could go wrong will go wrong.

Lindsay Lohan headlines the Netflix original Christmas romantic comedy as Avery, who spends the holidays with her boyfriend Cameron (Jon Rudnitsky). However, once she begins to meet his family, she discovers that her boyfriend's sister is dating her ex-boyfriend, Logan (Ian Harding). In order to avoid causing drama, Avery and Logan decide to keep their past a secret.

As the trailer reveals, 10 years prior to dating siblings, Logan had gotten down on one knee and proposed to Avery. Unfortunately for him, she turned down his proposal in front of a whole crowd. More than likely, that's where their relationship turned sour and caused them to be "resentful exes," as the movie's synopsis teases. An awkward proposal will definitely do that!

Daughter of late director George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead), Tina Romero is making her own mark on the zombie genre with Queens of the Dead, and Deadline shares a first look image this week. Deadline also notes, “Charades has acquired international sales rights.”

Being directed by Tina Romero, the upcoming Queens of the Dead is said to pay tribute to George A. Romero’s brand of zombie cinema with a “fresh, contemporary, and queer twist.”

Stay tuned for U.S. release information.

Katy O’Brian (Love Lies Bleeding), Margaret Cho (Fire Island), Brigette Lundy-Paine (I Saw The TV Glow) and Cheyenne Jackson (American Horror Story) are set to star.

“The story follows an eclectic group of drag queens, club kids, and frenemies who must put aside their personal dramas and use their unique skills to combat the brain-thirsty undead when a zombie apocalypse breaks out during their drag show in Brooklyn.

Netflix has revealed the official trailer and poster for the romantic comedy Our Little Secret, which will launch on the streaming service on November 27, 2024. In the film, two resentful exes are forced to spend Christmas under the same roof after discovering that their current partners are siblings.

Our Little Secret stars Lindsay Lohan as Avery, Ian Harding as Logan, Kristin Chenoweth as Erica, Tim Meadows as Stan, Jon Rudnitsky as Cameron, Henry Czerny as Mitchell, Judy Reyes as Margaret, and Chris Parnell as the veterinarian.

Dan Bucatinsky as Leonard, Katie Baker as Cassie, Jake Brennan as Callum, Ash Santos as Sophie, and Brian Unger as Paul round out the cast. Stephen Herek directed the movie from a script by Hailey DeDominicis.

Lisa Gooding and Mike Elliott are the producers of the film, which was executive-produced by Lindsay Lohan and Joseph P. Genier.

Netflix queen Lindsay Lohan is flexing her crown with the highly-anticipated holiday rom-com “Our Little Secret.”

In a classic comedy of errors, Lohan plays a woman who is trapped on a vacation from hell: Her new boyfriend’s sister is dating Lohan’s character’s ex, and the awkward foursome must make nice to not end up on the Naughty List.

The official logline reads: “Two resentful exes are forced to spend Christmas under the same roof after discovering that their current partners are siblings.”

Ian Harding, Jon Rudnitsky, Henry Czerny, Judy Reyes, Dan Bucatinsky, Katie Baker, Jake Brennan, Ash Santos, Brian Unger, Chris Parnell, and Kristin Chenoweth co-star.

“Our Little Secret” also is a mini “Mean Girls” reunion with Tim Meadows. Both Lohan and Meadows also had roles in the recent “Mean Girls” musical adaptation that was released 20 years after the original film.

Lohan executive produces the film alongside Joseph P. Genier.

Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding lead Netflix’s upcoming holiday movie as vengeful exes who swear to keep their past under wraps.

In the trailer for “Our Little Secret,” Lohan’s Avery prepares to spend the holidays with her boyfriend’s family for the first time, and her boyfriend’s mother (Kristin Chenoweth) is proving to be bit of an obstacle from the minute she arrives, commenting her screw-top wine bottle is “fast and easy” while glaring at Avery.

As she enters the holiday festivities, she’s met with an even bigger problem when she sees her ex, Logan (Harding), be introduced as the boyfriend of her boyfriend’s sister. The trailer flashes back to 10 years ago, when Avery desperately asks Logan not to propose to her.

With her first impression on the line, Avery drags Logan into a room and begs him, “You cannot tell anyone about us — the...

Lindsay Lohan's second career as a holiday B-movie star continues with Netflix's Our Little Secret.

Julian Casablancas and his band The Voidz stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday (October 23rd) to perform “Square Wave” and “7 Horses,” two songs from their new album Like All Before You. Watch the performances below.

Looking as Voidz-y as ever, Casablancas strutted around the stage in a leather vest and a singular glove while he bathed himself in Auto-Tune. His bandmates matched his energy while wearing capes, rocking studded jackets, and donning Flying V guitars. The stage was decked out with barbed wire, barrels oozing green goop, and an oversized armadillo (?). Oh, to peer into the mind of Casablancas…

Prior to The Voidz taking the stage, Casablancas and Fallon sat down to talk about the time the latter’s band opened for The Strokes, the backstory of Casablancas’ feature on Charli Xcx’s “Mean girls” remix, and the writing of Like All Before You. Check out the interview below.

There’s nothing wrong with a button nose and two eyes made out of coal, but the upcoming holiday romcom Hot Frosty is more concerned with the iconic snowman’s other body parts.

Namely, his six-pack abs.

(And yes, we’re resisting the urge to make a corncob pipe joke.)

(Netflix)

In recent years, Lacey Chabert’s name has become synonymous with Hallmark.

But her newest holiday jaunt is a Netflix production, which means she’s free to be a little more risque than usual.

And that’s a very good thing, as you want to be free to swing for the fences when you’re making a movie in which a character from a kids’ song transforms into a shredded himbo with a penchant for public nudity.

Thankfully, from the looks of the trailer, this movie is fully aware of the absurdity of its premise and leans into it...

There’s been a strange phenomenon in Hollywood of late – films that are song-and-dance musicals, paired with marketing that seems designed to hide that very fact. The song-packed Wonka wasn’t advertised as such; the Mean Girls musical adaptation was soundtracked by Olivia Rodrigo songs in its trailers rather than its own numbers; even Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga spent the Joker: Folie À Deux promo tour claiming the film isn’t a musical. And while that phenomenon isn’t exactly new (audiences coming to Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd back in 2007 weren’t informed by the trailers that it was a full-on Stephen Sondheim adaptation), it seems particularly prevalent today.

One film that’s been more overt about its status as a Broadway adaptation is Jon M. Chu’s two-part take on Wicked. If early teasers were oddly song-lite, more recent trailers are clearer about it being a musical.

Forget Santa Claus coming to town. This year, it's all about Hot Frosty coming to town! If you're a fan of the Michael Keaton cult classic holiday movie Jack Frost, you're going to adore Netflix's new Christmas romantic comedy Hot Frosty (out Nov. 13), which (as the title suggests) involves a sexy snowman coming to life. What are the holidays without a little magic?

In Lacey Chabert's first ever Netflix original Christmas movie Hot Frosty, the star plays a widow named Kathy who has been grieving her husband's loss for two years. When she unexpectedly helps animate a snowman that's designed to look like a conventionally attractive man, she soon begins to fall for Jack, the charming snowman turned human played by Dustin Milligan.

On Oct. 23, Netflix released the official trailer for Hot Frosty, revealing the heart and humor at the core of the cheeky holiday romantic comedy. Jack...

Do you want to bone a snowman?

Netflix on Wednesday morning released a trailer for Hot Frosty, a new holiday movie (premiering Wednesday, Nov. 13) in which an oddly ripped snowman comes to life and defrosts a widow’s chilled heart.

If you can believe it, we're racing toward the end of 2024 as the last two months of the year creep up on us. Thankfully, Netflix will help see off another year with some of the most highly anticipated new release movies and shows that we could have ever asked for in November 2024. It's a jam-packed month, so make sure you're clearing off some space on your watch list!

Like the previous months' new releases on Netflix, the stars are coming out in so many movies and shows. Outer Banks season 4 completes its run with part 2, while Cobra Kai continues its final season celebration with its second-to-last part. Meanwhile, Mean Girls alums Lindsay Lohan and Lacey Chabert headline two of the month's four new Christmas romantic comedies.

Lacey Chabert brings a hot snowman to life in Netflix’s brand new holiday film, Hot Frosty.

Here’s the synopsis for the film: Two years after losing her husband, Kathy magically brings a handsome snowman (Dustin Milligan) to life! Through his naïveté, the snowman helps Kathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays…and before he melts.

Keep reading to find out more…

The film also stars Katy Mixon Greer, Lauren Holly, Chrishell Stause, Joe Lo Truglio and Craig Robinson.

The trailer includes a Mean Girls reference – at one point, Lacey‘s character is watching a holiday movie on TV. It happens to be Netflix’s 2023 movie Falling for Christmas, starring her Mean Girls co-star Lindsay Lohan.

“That’s so funny. That looks just like a girl I went to high school with,” Lacey‘s character says in response.

Some people are worth melting for — especially the hot ones.

In the new trailer for Netflix’s holiday rom-com “Hot Frosty,” Christmas movie queen Lacey Chabert stars as a widow named Kathy, who magically brings a sexy snowman (“Schitt’s Creek” alum Dustin Milligan) to life. Through his naïveté, the snowman helps Kathy to laugh, feel and love again, as the two fall for each other just in time for the holidays … and before he melts.

At the end of the trailer, Chabert’s character is seen watching Lindsay Lohan’s 2023 Netflix holiday film “Falling for Christmas.” In a nod to their beloved 2004 flick “Mean Girls,” she quips, “That’s so funny. That looks just like a girl I went to high school with.”

Joe Lo Truglio and Craig Robinson bring some comedic relief as a pair of police officers, while Katy Mixon Greer, Lauren Holly, Chrishell Stause, Sherry Miller, Dan Lett,...

Lacey Chabert’s love life heats up with a once-chilly paramour in the trailer for Netflix’s holiday offering Hot Frosty.

Jerry Ciccoritti directs the Christmas romantic-comedy feature that hits the streaming service on Nov. 13, just in time for the holiday season. Rounding out the cast are Dustin Milligan, Katy Mixon, Lauren Holly, Joe Lo Truglio, Craig Robinson and Chrishell Stause.

Hot Frosty follows widow Kathy (Chabert), who is going through a rough stretch until she uses a magical scarf to bring attractive snowman Jack (Milligan) to life. The pair begin to fall for each other but have limited time before he starts to melt.

“Clearly, you’ve been doing your push-ups,” Chabert tells the well-toned snowman before his transformation.

Later, Jack (Milligan) tells a neighbor, “I’ve never been on a date before. I need your help with Kathy.”

Ciccoritti helmed the Christmas movie from a script by Russell Hainline.

Thumpety, thump, thump, Frosty returns like you’ve never seen him before in the new Netflix original “Hot Frosty.”

Lacey Chabert (“Mean Girls”) and Dustin Milligan (“Schitt’s Creek”) teased their unlikely romance in the first trailer for their Netflix holiday movie Wednesday.

Two years after the loss of her husband, Kathy (Chabert) struggles to enjoy the holiday season. But with the help of a magical scarf, she brings a handsome snowman to life. His innocence and wonder teach her to fall in love again just in time for the holiday season.

The real life Frosty named Jack (Milligan) streaks through the park and steals some clothes before bumping into love interest Kathy. Craig Robinson puts Jack on the hot seat in the sheriff’s office before Katy saves him from melting away.

Chabert is no stranger to the holiday rom-com genre, starring in over 30 Hallmark Channel movies. The Queen of...

Within minutes of sitting down with each other at Electric Lady Studios in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, Reneé Rapp and Cynthia Erivo realize that they’re both Capricorns. They gush over how cosmic this meeting is, after years of mutual admiration from afar. “Now it all makes sense!” Erivo says. “A Capricorn is someone who knows their own self and what they want, what they will stand for, and what they will not. It’s always really fun and refreshing to see.” Rapp agrees: “You’re, verbatim, exactly the same way.

Jenna Fischer teared up as she reflected on her journey to being breast cancer-free just two weeks after sharing her initial health news.

“I never had a big shave-your-head moment,” Fischer told “The Today Show” host Hoda Kotb in a special interview segment on Monday. She explained that losing her hair and vomiting were some of the fears she had going into chemotherapy. “I did not throw up, but I did lose my hair … I would kind of do a real elaborate combover.”

On Oct. 8, the “Office” actress shared that she was cancer-free after being diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Positive Breast Cancer, which she learned about through a regular checkup.

“I went in for my routine mammogram. It’s that annoying appointment that I’d been putting off, and then three weeks later, they said, ‘There were a few spots that are difficult to see; you have dense tissue. We...

While art doesn’t always require an audience, Square Enix’s choice-driven adventure game Life is Strange quickly found a home among young gamers (especially in the queer community) with an affinity for indie music and quirky sci-fi adventures thematically akin to Twin Peaks. Inspirations aside, Life is Strange has found longevity of its own, and since 2015 has blossomed beyond the scope of its initial cast of colorful, preppy characters with successful sequels highlighting America’s cultural diaspora.

Like auteur David Lynch did with his own follow-up, 2017’s Twin Peaks: The Return,...

Filmmakers and distributors of awards-hopefuls have until Nov. 4 to submit their category preference — drama versus musical or comedy — to the Golden Globes organization, which reserves the right to overturn any classification that it finds egregiously inaccurate.

Some of this year’s cases are inarguable — for instance, Netflix’s Emilia Pérez, in which characters spontaneously burst into song, is clearly a musical (if not a comedy), and A24’s The Brutalist, in which an immigrant faces all sorts of harrowing hurdles, is clearly a drama. There are, however, also plenty of close-calls, about which many have made assumptions, but, in most cases, not confirmed.

The Hollywood Reporter has been working the phones and can now report which way almost every contender is breaking. This intel is, of course, subject to change prior to Nov. 4, and to being overturned by the Globes thereafter — but it is current as of this writing.

I’m back! Well, not quite but working towards it. We're going to do an 80s theme in early November, okay? But let’s start with a question and a list to prove that I have actually been watching movies (and am alive) though I’ve rarely been writing and miss it terribly.

Has it been a good, bad, or ugly year for the always threatened Movie Musical genre?

The greatest of all movie genres is always threatened with extinction but it's also resilient and still with us almost a century after its debut. The year isn't over so the initial bolded question is premature. Mean Girls was a dud early in the year and the highly anticipated Joker Folie A Deux is currently flopping which serves it right for sidelining Lady Gaga (of all people) and being so uncomfortable about calling itself a musical. But we've...

“Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World,” Michael Fiore’s documentary about a New York Ukrainian restaurant, will receive digital and physical releases from Gravitas Ventures. Starting on Nov. 12, the film will be available on Blu-ray and major streamers in the U.S. and Canada.

According to an official logline, the film follows the operations of Manhattan’s mainstay Veselka, which was “opened in 1954 by a Ukrainian refugee (Wolodymyr Darmochwal) to give his displaced compatriots a place of refuge after World War II. Upon Wolodymyr’s passing in 1974, his all-American son-in-law (Tom) took over as manager. In 2020, amidst Tom’s plan for a major restaurant renovation, the Covid-19 pandemic forced him into early retirement. His son (Jason) takes over and has large shoes to fill. But Jason’s biggest challenge becomes the war in Ukraine; he is thrust into the role of surrogate father to...

Netflix has shared a first look at the romantic comedy Our Little Secret, which will begin streaming on the service on November 27, 2024. In the film, two resentful exes are forced to spend Christmas under the same roof after discovering that their current partners are siblings.

Our Little Secret stars Lindsay Lohan as Avery, Ian Harding as Logan, Kristin Chenoweth as Erica, Tim Meadows as Stan, Jon Rudnitsky as Cameron, Henry Czerny as Mitchell, Judy Reyes as Margaret, and Chris Parnell as the veterinarian.

Seth MacFarlane's animated sitcom "Family Guy" debuted in 1999 as, effectively, a crass redux of "The Simpsons." This was a telling development in popular culture, as "The Simpsons," which debuted a full decade earlier, was seen as the crass redux of most traditional sitcoms. The below-average boob Homer Simpson (Dan Castellaneta) was replaced by the boorish moron Peter Griffin (MacFarlane). "The Simpsons" often presented juvenile humor, but was clearly made by smart people who liked to slip high-end literary and scientific references into their scripts. "Family Guy," in contrast, well full-bore fratboy, leaning heavily into tasteless (and darkly funny) jokes about sexual assault, racism, and celebrity culture. "Family Guy" pivoted on pop culture references, specifically remembered by those born in the mid-1970s. 

"Family Guy" also aged up its child characters. On "The Simpsons," Bart (Nancy Cartwright) and Lisa (Yeardley Smith) were 10 and 8 respectively. On "Family Guy," Chris (Seth Green...

“The Sex Lives of College Girls” returns for Season 3, which also marks the exit of core cast member Reneé Rapp. Pauline Chalamet, Amrit Kaur, and Alyah Chanelle Scott now lead the show.

Actress/singer Rapp appeared in “Mean Girls” and announced her departure from the Max series in 2023. Rapp starred as Leighton Murray, who comes out as queer in the first season of the college-set ensemble comedy.

“‘College Girls’ moved me out to L.A. and introduced me to some of my favorite people,” Rapp wrote on social media. “Two and a half years later, it’s given me y’all and this community.
