We told him he had to be rock hard when he came back,” King said.The showrunner added that the “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” star was shocked when he was told he would have to change up his style to portray the character again.“He was eating fried chicken when I told him, and he dropped the fried chicken on the plate and fell down in the booth that we were sitting in and said, ‘I knew I was a fatty,'” King laughed.

Even if it’s not a super sexy scene, it would be nice to see a big make-out scene or a big heavy romance.”“And Just Like That” follows Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York-Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) as they navigate life, friendship, dating — and yes, sex — in their 50s.

Kevin Costner and “Yellowstone” were ignored, except in one technical category.Ray Liotta, who died in 2022 of heart failure at age 67, got a posthumous nod (for “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie, for Apple’s “Black Bird”).

Dominic Fike is unapologetically honest.In a surprisingly candid 50-minute interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the 27-year-old star explained how he was often “f—ed up” on the set of HBO’s “Euphoria,” split up with co-star Hunter Schaefer and is now sober.Quite a bit to digest.Now, having cleared the air, the “3 Nights” singer and Paul McCartney collaborator is about to embark on his 28-concert ‘Don’t Stare At The Sun Tour.’That includes a gig at Brooklyn, NY’s Prospect Park Bandshell on Wednesday, July 19 at 7:30 p.m. as well as a headlining spot at Seattle, WA’s Day In Day Out Festival with Bon Iver, Leon Bridges and Willow on Aug.

The Last Of Us is a beloved franchise, and a Part 3 is inevitable. Both previous titles have been massive hits for Sony and Naughty Dog. Interests in the franchise spiked earlier this year as HBO Max and Neil Druckmann nailed the TV adaptation of TLOU Part 1.

Dominic Fike – who played the role of Elliot in season two of HBO‘s Euphoria – has revealed that he was nearly kicked off the show.While speaking to Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Fike shared that he wasn’t in the best headspace while filming for Euphoria‘s second season. Fike, who had been addicted to drugs in real life, explained the struggles he faced when having to portray the role of a drug user.“I mean I was a drug addict and coming onto a show mainly about drugs was very difficult,” Fike told Lowe. “Sam [Levinson], the director and writer, he got me a sober coach, somebody to be there you know all the time.

Arthur Schopenhauer espoused, “Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.” There is perhaps no thirstier example of this truth than HBO’S “The Idol,” the network’s over the top ode to synth moans and the under boob.Branded by critics as cringey at best and torture porn/rape fantasy at worst, the show follows controversial pop star Jocelyn, played by Lily-Rose Depp as she falls for ponytailed cult leader Tedros, played by Abel Tesfaye, the artist formerly known as The Weeknd who also co-wrote and produced the series. Tesfaye, whose acting talents have been the source of much debate, has fired retaliatory Twitter shots at both “Rolling Stone,” and less predictably, Oreo cookies.

“torture porn.” But that’s nothing compared to the wrath of Selena Gomez’s fans, who are pointing out similarities between the show’s pop star protagonist, Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp), and the Disney-reared diva. And the “Only Murders in the Building” star’s fuming followers say it’s Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, whom Gomez briefly dated in 2017, who’s to blame.

HBO’s controversial “The Idol” said goodbye to the weird, controversial world inhabited by wannabe pop star Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp) and her creepy mentor, the rat-tail sporting Tedros (Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye), after the show’s fifth and final episode, “Jocelyn Forever.” After struggling under ex-pimp/cult leader/star maker Tedros — Tesfaye is a co-creator of the show, along with Sam Levinson (“Euphoria”) and Reza Fahim — last night was all about Jocelyn demonstrating her power. Dwindling audiences of the show, said to have contributed “the worst sex scene in history” in an earlier episode, we are finally given access to the badass, pop diva lurking underneath, ready to strike with the same venom being poured into her by Tedros and company.Jocelyn, it turns out, is ruthless.The shift in power balance is clear from the start — while everyone gathers at Jocelyn’s house for a tour meeting, a disheveled Tedros is kicked out of Jocelyn’s life, seemingly forever.

not Henry Cavill, David Corenswet or even Tyler Hoechlin. The new animated Adult Swim / Max series, “My Adventures With Superman,” premiering July 6 and 7 (on Adult Swim and Max, respectively) is timely in the sense that Clark Kent has dominated recent headlines — be the late Christopher Reeve’s bizarre posthumous AI “cameo” in “The Flash” that outraged fans or the news that Corenswet will succeed Cavill in the big-screen DC movies,with “Mrs. Maisel” star Rachel Bosnahan replacing Amy Adams as Lois Lane. For better or worse, “My Adventures With Superman” is landing at peak “Superman” saturation.

idol-istic. Viewers who have been watching the controversial HBO show “The Idol” expressed confusion, after it was announced that the upcoming fifth episode will be the end of Season 1. “I thought it was gonna be 6 episodes, not 5?? What happened???” one fan wrote. Another outraged fan complained, “this needs 10 episodes…story hasn’t gone anywhere.”The salacious drama – which has become infamous for its “nasty” sex scenes and nudity – is helmed by Sam Levinson (“Euphoria”) and musician Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, 33, who also co-stars. The plot follows troubled pop princess Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp, 24, daughter of Johnny Depp), as she becomes entangled in a strange and steamy relationship with self-help guru, club owner and cult leader Tedros (Tesfaye). “Schitt’s Creek” star Dan Levy, 39, is also in “The Idol,” for some reason. (Maybe he just needed a paycheck).There’s been a lot of hand-wringing about how raunchy the show is – even though it’s tame compared to “True Blood” or even “Bridgerton.” It’s been slammed by critics for its graphic sex scenes, and it also attracted controversy for reports of its environment behind the scenes.

Everyone has something to say about “The Idol.” Since even before it premiered, the Max series — the “sick and twisted” brainchild of Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye and “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson — has been slammed for “too graphic” sex scenes and excessive displays of “breast and ass,” as well as a particularly “nasty” steamy segment that Tesfaye was forced to defend.The “torture porn” drama, which premiered with 900,000 viewers, follows Jocelyn, portrayed by Lily-Rose Depp, a troubled pop star who becomes increasingly enraptured with the mysterious, rat-tail-donning Tedros (Tesfaye). Now, even a famed snack brand is trying to crumble the show’s cookies.After it was prematurely reported that the show would be canceled after only one season, the official Oreo account replied with more fire than one might expect from milk’s favorite cookie.
