Photo Credit: The CW (via YouTube) Busy Philipps recently shared her candid views about a plot from her former show, Dawson’s Creek. She did not join the cast of the show until Season 5; however, she recalled an inappropriate relationship from the very first season of Dawson’s Creek between Joshua Jackson’s Pacey and Leann Hunley’s Tamara. Busy Philipps reflects on relationship between Joshua Jackson’s Pacey and his teacher Tamara The Dawson’s Creek alumna opened up about her thoughts on the controversial relationship in the show’s first season. As Pacey (Joshua Jackson) grows increasingly attracted to his 36-year-old teacher, Tamara (Leann Hunley), they become romantically involved. This ultimately leads to him losing his virginity to her. First referring to her character Audrey, and Pacey’s relationship, Busy Philipps told PEOPLE, “They’re not even together.” She added, “He’s going to have a really, insanely inappropriate relationship with a teacher, which by the way, is so wild. And just goes to show you culturally how much we have changed for the better, right?” Philipps joined the show as Audrey Liddell during Season 5 as Pacey’s girlfriend. Very recently, the cast of Dawson’s Creek showed up at the Dawson’s Creek Class Reunion charity event. It also included a reading of the pilot episode by them. During this reading, Philipps played the part of Leann Hunley’s Tamara, the teacher and former love interest of Pacey Witter. The White Chicks actress also shared a glimpse at a joke between her and the series creator, Kevin Williamson. She first mentioned how he didn’t write her character into Dawson’s Creek. “He was already long gone from the show when they went to college, and my character was added,” the 46-year-old explained. Busy Philipps then shared, “After the show, I said, ‘Well, Kevin, I guess you did write a part for me on Dawson’s Creek. You just didn’t know that it would take 20 years for me to be the right age to play it,'” as she referred to playing Tamara at the event. Previously, Joshua Jackson also reflected on his character Pacey’s relationship with Tamara on Dawson’s Creek. He told Business Insider, “I think it is real for a younger person to have sexual desires for an older person. But I think the onus remains upon the older person to be the adult and recognize that that’s inappropriate.” Jackson further emphasized that it is important to depict human mistakes through on-screen storylines. Additionally, he clarified that the relationship wasn’t depicted as “a beautiful or romantic thing.” The post Dawson’s Creek’s Busy Philipps Recalls Pacey’s ‘Insanely Inappropriate’ Relationship appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.

Photo Credit: Lionsgate Films / Roadside Attractions / LD Entertainment From the start of her career as a singer and actress, Jennifer Lopez has always had a soft spot for musicals and the magic of Broadway. Now that she’s debuting in musical cinema with Kiss of the Spider Woman, she got candid about why a Broadway run might remain out of reach for now. Jennifer Lopez might never do a Broadway musical, as it requires ‘bigger commitment’ The Atlas star recently admitted that she has always dreamed of doing Broadway. However, her jam-packed schedule with movies and music hasn’t really given her the time. During a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Jennifer Lopez shared, “I’ve always thought about it. I’ve always had a fantasy of doing Broadway, but my life has always been the music and the movies, so there’s never been a time.” Lopez further elaborated on the prospect of doing multiple performances a week. She added, “It would be a nice thing to slow down and just do one thing for a period of time. But it’s a bigger commitment. And I don’t know if I could do eight shows a week.” Nevertheless, the “Let’s Get Loud” hitmaker is still not closing the door on Broadway. She said, “At the right time with the right people and the right person, who knows? We’ll see what comes to fruition when that time comes. But I do think Broadway is in my future.” Besides that, Jennifer Lopez still dreams about bringing back roles she once had her eye on. One of the Grammy nominee’s favorites is Bye Bye Birdie. Interestingly, it was once reportedly being adapted as a live TV production, with her essaying Rosie. Unfortunately, that project fell through, but Lopez is still keen to be a part of the musical. “I would die to do Bye Bye Birdie. It went away. That was going to be more of a movie, but it would be nice to revive that on Broadway, too,” the 56-year-old stated. Currently, Jennifer Lopez is putting everything she’s got into Kiss of the Spider Woman, where she plays two roles. She even made sure she perfected the uncut dance scenes. Moreover, the Bill Condon movie helped her reconnect with her roots in jazz, ballet, and Broadway dance, things she shared she learned “when she was a very little girl.” Featuring Jennifer Lopez alongside Diego Luna and Tonatiuh, Kiss of the Spider Woman arrived in US theaters on October 10, 2025.

Credits: 20th Century Films According to one of the movie’s biggest stars, James Cameron might helm a documentary about the making of Avatar before traveling back to Pandora for Avatar 4. Zoe Saldaña explains why an Avatar documentary would be important Zoe Saldaña is set to reprise her role of Neytiri in the third Avatar movie, Avatar: Fire and Ash. Cameron plans to make an Avatar 4 and 5 next. However, the Oscar winner might make another movie about the Avatar universe before Avatar 4 gets made. In an interview with Beyond Noise, Saldaña revealed that Cameron is “considering a documentary about the making of Avatar.” Saldaña is pushing for the documentary, as it would give her a chance to shine a light on performance capture and how it has become an “empowering form of acting.” “It gives us the credit, the ability to own 100 percent of our performance on screen,” Saldaña explained. “With animation, you might go into the studio for [a few] sessions; that’s as much as they’ll need you for the whole movie. You go into a studio, however you’re dressed, and you lend your voice, right? Performance capture means that Avatar wouldn’t exist if Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, myself, and the entire cast didn’t get up and put those dots on our faces. “We put on that little unitard with all those dots on it, and step into a volume — that’s what we call the set — that’s rigged on the ceiling, with all these cameras in measured positions. They’re all pointing into this space that finds us, and feeds that information into the system that is Pandora.” The Avatar movies are an enormous undertaking for Saldaña and the rest of the cast. To play Neytiri, Saldaña had to train in archery, martial arts, free diving, and scuba diving. Saldaña also had to learn how to walk like an “extraterrestrial human species.” Fans can see Saldaña’s hard work come to fruition in Avatar: Fire and Ash, in theaters on December 19, 2025. Avatar 4 is scheduled for release on December 21, 2029, with Avatar 5 following two years later on December 19, 2031. Originally reported by Dan Girolamo on SuperHeroHype.

The Twins have sought permission from the Red Sox to interview bench coach Ramón Vázquez in their managerial search, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. It’s standard practice for clubs to allow coaches or front office personnel to interview for potential promotions, so it’d be a shock if the Red Sox didn’t grant that request. Vázquez, 49, would become the first known candidate to interview for the Minnesota position. A native of Puerto Rico, he played parts of nine MLB seasons across six clubs as a utility infielder during the 2000s. He has spent over a decade in the coaching ranks since ending his playing career. Vázquez worked as a minor league coach in the Houston system and spent a season on the Padres’ MLB staff before joining Alex Cora in Boston for the 2018 season. The Sox promoted him to bench coach three years ago. Aside from one game filling in while Cora was attending his daughter’s graduation, Vázquez has no MLB managerial experience. He has managed in the Puerto Rican winter league and managed one season in A-ball while coming up through the Houston system. This would be his first publicly reported interview for an MLB managerial job. The Twins are one of eight teams with a vacancy after firing Rocco Baldelli at season’s end. The team never really recovered from their late-season collapse in 2024, when they squandered a playoff berth despite peaking at 17 games above .500 in the middle of August. They had a 13-game winning streak early this past season but were otherwise a well below-average team. After injuries decimated the starting rotation in June, they embarked on a massive deadline sell-off that sent Carlos Correa back to Houston for salary relief. The deadline also left Baldelli and his staff with a bullpen consisting mostly of waiver pickups and journeymen. The Twins went 19-35 in the final two months and finished with a 70-92 record that had them as the second-worst team in the American League. Only the White Sox, who lost over 100 games for a third straight year, kept Minnesota from the bottom of the AL. An incoming manager seems likely to step into a rebuild. The Pohlad family had considered selling the franchise but reversed course in August, instead bringing on minority investors to pay down significant debt which the team had reportedly accrued. Their season-ending payroll has dropped in consecutive seasons (per Cot’s Baseball Contracts) following the collapse of their local broadcast contract. They have a handful of question marks at the bottom of the lineup and arguably MLB’s worst bullpen. That won’t all be fixed in one offseason, meaning they should be active sellers this winter and at next summer’s deadline. Ryan Jeffers is headed into his final season of arbitration control. Joe Ryan is down to two arbitration years, while Pablo López is signed for two more seasons at $21.75MM annually. They could listen on role players like Trevor Larnach and Matt Wallner as well. Minnesota added upper level starting pitchers (e.g. Mick Abel, Taj Bradley) in a couple of their trades last summer, so perhaps there’s a path back to contention in 2027, but they’re facing an uphill battle to compete next year.

Here are three things for MLBTR readers to keep an eye on throughout the day today: 1. NLCS Game 2: The Dodgers took home a hard-fought victory in Game 1 of the NLCS yesterday when Blake Treinen struck out Brice Turang with the bases loaded to preserve a one-run lead in the ninth inning. Now, the Brewers will be looking to avoid falling into an 0-2 hole before they head to L.A. for Game 3, while the Dodgers will try to keep the good times rolling and build on their lead. The game is scheduled for 7:08pm local time, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.49 ERA) on the bump opposite Freddy Peralta (2.70 ERA). Yamamoto dominated the Reds in the Wild Card series with two runs (zero earned) and nine strikeouts across 6 2/3 innings of work, but he didn’t fare quite as well against the Phillies in the NLDS as he surrendered three runs in four innings of work. As for Peralta, he made two starts against the Cubs in the NLDS where he allowed five runs in 9 2/3 innings of work. While he struck out 15 batters, he also allowed three home runs. 2. Another manager job opens up: Yesterday, Padres skipper Mike Shildt announced his decision to step down from the manager’s chair. That creates yet another opening in the dugout for an MLB club, and San Diego will now join the Giants, Braves, Orioles, Rockies, Angels, Twins, and Nationals in the hunt for a new manager. Cubs bench coach Ryan Flaherty has already emerged as a candidate in San Diego, and he’s getting a look in Baltimore, too. He’s surely far from the only candidate for either role, however, and with so many vacancies around the game it may take a little bit longer than usual for teams to find the right fit on the market. 3. Blue Jays in a bind: After a dominant performance against the Yankees in the ALDS, the Blue Jays find themselves in a bind. Right-hander Trey Yesavage was unable to replicate his previous dominance and surrendered five runs in four innings of work to take the loss in what ultimately became a 10-3 win for Seattle. That leaves Toronto down two games as they head to the west coast for the next three games of the series. With the Mariners now enjoying a one-game cushion as they look to clinch a trip to the World Series at home, the Blue Jays will be looking for their offense to wake up and start scoring runs like they did against New York if they’re going to represent Canada in the World Series for the first time since 1993. The ALCS has no game today as the two teams travel to Seattle. Will the day off be enough for the Jays to bounce back? View the full article

Image credit: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Just days after Tron: Ares’ release, director Joachim Rønning is already teasing what could come next for the franchise. In a recent interview, Rønning explained the vision behind the film’s post-credits scene. However, as of now, there is no confirmation that Tron 4 has been greenlit yet. Joachim Rønning says ‘bringing back Sark’ in Tron: Ares ending is a hint for ‘something to come’ Director Joachim Rønning has shared new details about the ending of Tron: Ares. Speaking to GamesRadar+, Rønning explained that the film’s final scene, which brings back the iconic villain Sark, was designed to hint at a potential continuation of the story. He said, “To be able to shoot the scene [where we] bring back Sark… everybody at Industrial Light & Magic was like, ‘Oh my God!’” Rønning called the visual world of the 1982 original “the holy grail of VFX,” adding that it was not eligible for a VFX Oscar because the Academy “felt it was cheating at the time.” The director then teased that though Sark’s return is brief, it might lead to something bigger. He explained, “And then the other thing was bringing back Sark, even though it’s at the very end, it’s just like hinting [at] something to come.” Rønning also suggested that Evan Peters’ character, Julian Dillinger, could be important to continue the storyline. “I think that would be great. I think Julian Dillinger [Evan Peters] – it’s a good starting point for that continuation of that character,” he said. The director didn’t confirm whether Tron 4 is already in the works, and there’s been no official word from Disney on Tron 4. Set decades after Tron: Legacy, Tron: Ares continues the iconic sci-fi saga. The movie’s cast includes Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, and Hasan Minhaj, among others. Written by Jesse Wigutow, the film was released in theaters worldwide on October 10. Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on SuperHeroHype.

However, his meteoric ascent comes at a cost. Haunted by loneliness and strained family ties, Jan’s life is as tumultuous as it is transformative. Vanguard is the story of a visionary who revolutionized modern media but paid a personal price for his groundbreaking impact.” Check out the exclusive Vanguard trailer below (watch more trailers): When is the US release date for Vanguard?

Photo Credit: Netflix One of the many things that Splinter Cell: Deathwatch’s finale leaves unanswered is what happened to Sam’s daughter, Sarah. The show has premiered with all of its planned episodes, and fans are now speculating whether she’s alive or not. Is Sarah dead or alive in Splinter Cell: Deathwatch? Sarah Fisher, Sam Fisher’s daughter, does not appear in Netflix‘s Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Season 1 events. However, the show mentions her during certain flashbacks. It showcased Sam’s life as a single parent as he leaves his daughter to take on missions around the globe. In the games, Sarah’s death was staged to lure out a mole in the Third Echelon. But it was later revealed to Sam that his daughter was alive and well. While she has been in trouble on several other occasions in the games, she was never reported dead. The same goes for Netflix’s animated show. Season 1 has never mentioned that Sarah is dead. It could mean that she is still alive somewhere, offering some hope about her appearance in the show’s future. If she were to return, the relationship with her father could be a great way to bring in some emotional tone to the show. Will Sam’s daughter return in Splinter Cell Season 2? Currently, Netflix has yet to renew Splinter Cell: Deathwatch for a second season. Furthermore, there are no hints that Sarah could be in the next season. However, it can be speculated that she’ll appear sometime in Season 2, given her importance in Sam’s life. In the game lore, Sarah has had a long and strained relationship with her father. But as she grew older, she understood her father’s responsibilities and accepted her father’s absence. Since the series is canon to the game franchise, this storyline could eventually be picked up in the second season, if there is any. All eight episodes of Splinter Cell: Deathwatch are currently available on Netflix to stream.

Photo Credit: Ron Galella, Ltd./Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images Batman & Robin may be far from the best Batman movie to ever grace the screen, but the George Clooney-led adventure, which also featured Alicia Silverstone and Chris O’Donnell in primary roles, remains iconic in many ways. It has become a cult classic and meme fodder. It continues to be in conversation over the many years since its release. Silverstone and O’Donnell recently reflected on the film, its initial failure, and their friendship that was forged through the chaos of filming. Alicia Silverstone and Chris O’Donnell on dealing with Batman & Robin’s failure Alicia Silverstone and Chris O’Donnell, who played Batgirl and Robin, respectively, talked to Entertainment Weekly about the chaos of Batman & Robin. The movie remains both a disaster and a classic. Silverstone was cast alongside Clooney and O’Donnell in Batman & Robin. But it marked the first time she was doing an action film. “I remember a lot of things not making sense,” she recalled. “We would be in a big warehouse and there were so many extras and so much going on…. [George] really was like a big brother in those circumstances. So cool. He stood up for me and was reasonable when things were not,” Alicia added. She added about the inconvenience of filming, “And to get the outfit on took so much time and energy…And once you had it on, you couldn’t go to the bathroom for ages. These were not easy costumes. You had to put baby powder all over your body to get it on. The whole thing was a big production.” She also explained how she struggled to understand how the special effects would fit into the scenes. Things did wrap up well, but the reception of the film became a huge problem from the start. “All of a sudden, you were starting to get the feedback, and you realize it was just going sideways,” O’Donnell recalled, “There was so much hatred of the film when it came out. It was like, ‘Oh my God.’ And you want to do your job and promote the movie.” He added, “It was a tough one for us all to digest.” But he added on a positive note, “We were lucky to be in the movie, and it was fun to be a part of it. It is what it is. Some work out and some don’t.” Silverstone also expressed how things changed over the years as the reception toward the film turned more and more positive. O’Donnell also expressed how the movie does have fans. He mentions how, over the years, it has cemented its status as a classic superhero movie, even if it’s not the best one. With an array of big stars, it continues to command a fanbase. Originally reported by Sourav Chakraborty on SuperHeroHype.

Listen to Liberty talk about this title on today’s episode of All The Books! A Guardian and a Thief by Megha Majumdar This National Book Award long-listed book is set in a near-future dystopian Kolkata, India, where food is scarce and climate change has wreaked havoc. Ma is this close to escaping the constant floods and lack of food by taking her aging father and her two-year-old daughter with her to become reunited with her husband in the United States. But then her painstakingly attained immigration documents are stolen, and her family’s future suddenly doesn’t feel so secure. Over a week, she sets out to find the thief and recover her things—but we find out the thief is Boomba, who is desperate to save his family, too.

Minor Black Figures by Brandon Taylor Booker Prize finalist Taylor’s latest follows a queer Black artist from the South who is struggling a bit to find his place in the Manhattan art scene. Wyeth is navigating bad art shows, pretension, and even backstabbing as he tries to settle into a new art ecosystem. Then he meets Keating, who left the priesthood, and he begins to question the way Blackness fits into white art spaces…or rather, how it doesn’t. An Amateur Witch’s Guide to Murder by K. Valentin “Mateo Borrero has 99 problems—and all of them hinge on his missing bruja mother and the demon she trapped inside his body.” What an opener! This queer romantic fantasy has a witchy pretender, a nepo baby with a curse that keeps killing people around him, a deadly magical conspiracy, and the aforementioned demon. I need this yesterday. — Vanessa Diaz Listen to Vanessa talk about this title on today’s episode of All The Books! Boom Town by Nic Stone This was mentioned in the monthly new releases round-up. Here’s what Jamie Canaves had to say about it: After Michah “Lyriq” Johanssen’s former partner and dancer at Boom Town disappeared, another dancer, Damaris “Charm” Wilburn, didn’t show up for her shift. Lyriq finds no help in finding the women and is plunged into the underworld of Atlanta as she narrows in on a wealthy man with an obsession. Female Fantasy by Iman Hariri-Kia This was mentioned in the monthly new releases round-up. Here’s what Nikki DeMarco had to say about it: Equal parts satirical, steamy, and swoony, Female Fantasy is a romance novel tailor-made for book lovers who can’t resist a meta twist. Joonie, a copywriter by day and fanfic writer by night, knows no real guy can measure up to her ultimate book boyfriend—a merman hero named Ryke. But when she learns Ryke is based on a real person, she sets off to track him down, dragging along her brother’s infuriating best friend as an unwilling road-trip companion. What follows is a hilariously chaotic, self-aware journey through romance tropes that doubles as a genuine story about finding love where you least expect it. This is a joyful reminder of why readers fall in love with the genre in the first place. More New Releases Mentioned Today on All The Books!

Indie book stores have their own ecosystem, and it can be so refreshing. At Book Riot, we spend a lot of time looking at the big bestseller lists every week, and it’s nice to know which books people are spending their money on each week, but it starts to feel redundant very quickly. Most books on these kinds of lists are often the ones with the biggest budgets, and while they can be great, there tends to be just a handful of authors who take turns showing up on the lists, and there’s not much diversity (see gain: budgets). But indie bookstore lists? They keep things all the way fresh. They mix things up, include different genres, and have a healthy amount of frontlist (new) and backlist (older) titles. And, indie bookstore lists can be a great source of inspiration for your future book club reading picks. Below are a few books listed in the Indie Next Reading Group List for Fall 2025, which lists books recommended for book clubs by indie book store sellers. In the books below, Tang Dynasty sister snakes live life as human women, a 15th-century West African fantasy enchants, and an Indigenous man learns his roots. Sister Snake by Amanda Lee Koe This is an interesting mix of fantasy and dark humor. Su and Emerald are sisters, but they don’t exactly see eye to eye. Su is content to live in Singapore as the perfect wife of a conservative politician, while Emerald lives a life of hedonism as a beautiful and charming sugar baby in New York City. Oh, and they were both once snakes living in the Tang Dynasty in China. After decades, it takes Emerald having a violent encounter in Central Park for Su to board a flight to New York City, and for the pair to reconcile. But when Emerald moves to conservative Singapore with Su, the eccentric sister may out them both. What the booksellers had to say: “Incredible and atmospheric. Having transcended their original forms as snakes, Emerald and Su have spent centuries calling one another ‘sister’ and taking care of each other as family does. A beautiful tale of the bond between two women and their separate but similar journeys to accept themselves as they are.” — Katie O’Brien-Smith, Watchung Booksellers, Montclair, NJ Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi It’s always a treat to see more West African-based fantasy, and Sangoyomi’s Masquerade sounds like a magical blending of 15th-century history and a loose retelling of the myth of Persephone. In it, Òdòdó is already living as an outcast with the other women of her blacksmith guild in Timbuktu when the town gets conquered by the warrior king of Yorùbáland. Then ole girl gets abducted and taken across the Sahara to Ṣàngótẹ̀. It’s in this capital city that she finds out that the stranger who visited her guild a few days ago is her kidnapper, and, what’s more, he’s the warrior king. Turns out he snatched Òdòdó up to make her his wife, and through the forced marriage, she ascends to the very top of society. There, she finds the machinations of battle and court politics too hard to resist. What the booksellers had to say: “O.O. Sangoyomi’s debut is a fast-paced page turner set in 15th-century West Africa, featuring a young woman who finds herself undergoing extreme changes in her social status in a short time. It’s riveting and fascinating — a great piece about women finding their power.” — Preet Singh, Eagle Eye Book Shop, Decatur, GA Make Your Way Home: Stories by Carrie R. Moore This debut collection of stories take place across the South. Across North Carolina mountains, Florida marshes, and big souther cities, Black women and men contend with an ever elusive sense of belonging. A mother and her preteen daughter face simultaneous pregnancies, a Texan man tries to find love despite his family’s curse, and more. What the booksellers had to say: “Each story in Make Your Way Home is absolutely remarkable. Like sinking into warm water, each story envelops you completely in the characters, bringing them and the setting to life. This is a book that aches with longing and with history.” — Katherine Nazzaro, Porter Square Books, Cambridge, MA The Wildes: A Novel in Five Acts by Louis Bayard This is the story of Oscar Wilde’s wife and son in the years before and after his infamous trial for homosexuality. During an idyllic holiday in the English countryside, Oscar Wilde develops a strong attachment with a young poet and Constance begins to suspect her husband’s affections lie elsewhere. When the truth (or some part of it) is exposed, Constance and her sons are left in ruin, forced to hide their identities in exile. As the years go by, and one son enlists in WWI while the other searches for answers about his family, they all must come to terms with what they lost and who they want to be. — Rachel Brittain What the booksellers had to say: “This book fully immerses us in the Wildes’ world. As we are tossed from one timeline and character to another, the reader has conflicting experiences of wonder and despair. Oscar Wilde’s life unravels and his family is tangled up and dragged down by his recklessness. This novel is a beautifully written tragedy.” — Trish O’Neill, MacIntosh Books & Paper, Sanibel, FL Becoming Little Shell: A Landless Indian’s Journey Home by Chris La Tray Growing up, La Tray knew himself to be Indian, even though his father always denied it. When he goes to his grandfather’s funeral and sees so many obviously Indigenous relatives, his heritage becomes undeniable. He sets out to learn more about his people, thereby learning more about himself. He does research, speaks to elders, and joins the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians’ struggle to become federally recognized. What the booksellers had to say: “As an unenrolled Indigenous person raised by white parents, that part of my identity has always been tricky for me. La Tray’s beautifully written account of taking ownership over his own identity, interwoven with the historical and contemporary issues facing Indigenous communities (the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians in particular), makes for one of those rare books that truly is both deeply personal and profoundly universal.” — Lane Jacobson, Paulina Springs Books, Sisters, OR For the full list, make sure to check out Indiebound.org.

Photo Credit: CBS Elsbeth’s Carrie Preston revealed that Julia Roberts was “mean” to her while shooting the 2009 comedy, Duplicity. While this was in preparation for a scene that involved the two actors, Preston said that it was “exactly” what she “needed.” Carrie Preston reveals conversation with Julia Roberts before filming ‘intense’ Duplicity scene During a conversation with Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his Dinner’s On Me podcast, Carrie Preston recalled her experience filming a scene with Julia Roberts for Tony Gilroy’s Duplicity. “I saw her earlier in the day. She gave me a big hug and then she said, ‘I’m gonna be mean to you for the rest of the day,’” the Elsbeth actress recalled, referring to the day of the shoot. “She gave me a fair warning; she was just like, ‘I’m gonna be mean. I’m just not gonna talk to you for the rest of the day. And it was exactly what I needed.” The scene in question shows Preston’s character, Barbara Bofferd, confiding in Claire (Roberts) about sleeping with Ray (Clive Owen). Since Claire and Ray are opposing corporate spies secretly in a relationship, Claire must suppress her anger. Preston described her feelings during the filming: “I’m on set doing a very intense scene where Julia Roberts is staring at me, wanting me to die because I had slept with her boyfriend. I have to do that cry on cue thing, which, as you know, is a lot of pressure, especially when I don’t know any of the crew.” The True Blood actress later added, “They call me and they’re like, ‘We’re ready for you, we’re ready to go.’ The cameras are all set up. We hardly rehearsed. Then I just went and sat down, and she’s just like… And I just started thawing. It came. But it was the most high-pressure acting experience I had at that point.” Both Preston and Ferguson agreed that Roberts might have acted this way for Preston’s sake rather than her own.

Photo Credit: Ron Tom/Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images During Good Fortune’s red carpet, Grey’s Anatomy alum Sandra Oh revealed which co-star she’d want to switch lives with. She stated that “there are a lot of co-stars” that she would love to swap lives with. However, she named one person in particular for their “very different life.” Sandra Oh wants to switch lives with Good Fortune co-star Keanu Reeves During an interview with ET on the red carpet for Good Fortune’s premiere, Sandra Oh was asked which past co-star she would like to switch lives with for one day. “A past co-star? Oh my gosh, there’s a lot of co-stars,” Oh responded, taking a moment to think about her options. “I’ve got to kind of think of who would be a great person to swap lives with. who I have a very different life with. I wish I could say Keanu [Reeves].” The Grey’s Anatomy alum added, “I would love to swap bodies with him and be able to fight [like him]. I would love to be able to be one day, on set, fighting. I would love to know how to do that.” The questions come due to the fact that it refers to her new movie, Good Fortune’s premise. Its story follows Arj (Aziz Ansari), a struggling worker who hits rock bottom, and a budget guardian angel named Gabriel (Keanu Reeves). Gabriel tries to show Arj that money doesn’t solve all problems by swapping Arj’s life with his wealthy employer, Jeff (Seth Rogen). However, the plan backfires as Arj’s problems are solved by Jeff’s wealth. As a result, Martha (Sandra Oh) takes away Gabriel’s wings and forces him to live as a human. This movie marks Ansari’s directorial debut while also serving as the writer. It first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September and will debut in theaters on October 17 in the United States.

Gifting books to people who either work in books or claim reading as a major part of their personality is tough. We have strong preferences, big collections, and endless To-Be-Read lists. This is why I rarely expect the gift of books from most people in my life and especially not my husband, who I’m sure quietly worries that the weight of our wall-mounted bookshelves will bring the house down. And yet, last Christmas, I did get the gift of a book, and I was overjoyed. A hefty, formidable book with a photo of one of my favorite public figures splashed across the front revealed itself beneath crisp wrapping paper. This present was genius because I love cooking differently but as much as I love reading, and if any book is worth gifting current and prospective home chefs, it’s this expansive beauty. Start Here: Instructions for Becoming a Better Cook by Sohla El-Waylly I would watch, listen to, and now read Sohla El-Waylly wax about anything but especially all things food. When I was first introduced to El-Waylly through Bon Appetit‘s now-scandalized Test Kitchen series, I recognized a chef who knows what she’s talking about and has a lot to offer anyone with a passion for food and cooking. It’s been wonderful to watch her reach expand, not just because my own home kitchen has greatly benefitted from a bounty of Sohla content, but because she has a singular knack for communicating useful, lesser-known information about ingredients, methods, and more to make the act of cooking more engaging, thoughtful, and comfortable for cooks at any level. That’s what Start Here is all about: helping cooks gain a deeper understanding of their practice while offering highly adaptable recipes based around clearly communicated, effective methods and philosophies. El-Waylly’s chipper, matter-of-fact tone is present in the writing, and the book includes photos that are lovingly styled without being overwrought, which makes this a great book to flip through, pore over, and explore from front to back. It’s truly a cooking textbook and, very likely, the only textbook I’ve ever cherished. I now know how to make something tasty with all the dandelion greens that sprout in my backyard in the spring and the lentils we always stock in our pantry, how prepping garlic can meaningfully change its flavor, and I’m looking forward to making my own roti with a better understanding of bread science. If you’re looking for something to gift a reader who loves or wants to putter around the kitchen, Start Here is your girl. What are you reading? Let us know in the comments! View the full article
