past 25 years, the 59-year-old photographer has been shooting always iconic, often whimsical portraits of stars to serve as “bumpers” — images that appear on screen before a commercial break — for “Saturday Night Live.”“The bumpers are probably the least appreciated part of the show, but anybody who knows the show knows how much they mean,” the show’s head honcho, Lorne Michaels, writes in the foreword to Matthew’s new book, “The Art of the SNL Portrait” (Harry N. Abrams, out now).The book follows in the footsteps of SNL’s 50th anniversary special and features dozens of the nearly 4,000 portraits Matthews has created of the show’s hosts and musical guests over the years.It’s “the best job in the world and, quite certainly, the only one like it,” Matthews, who uses both real-life props and digital editing to create the portraits, writes in the book’s introduction.There’s rarely a dull moment in her workday.

Ghostbusters star Dan Akroyd has defended the 2016 all-female reboot film.The actor famously played Raymond Stantz in the original 1980s films, recently reprising the role in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire this year.The franchise was rebooted with a separate film from Paul Feig in 2016 starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, which was met with a sexist and racist backlash at the time.Akroyd has now shared his praise of the film, telling People: “I liked the movie [director] Paul Feig made with those spectacular women.“I was mad at them at the time because I was supposed to be a producer on there and I didn’t do my job and I didn’t argue about costs. And it cost perhaps more than it should, and they all do.

It’s always important to separate the filmmaker from the film and ignore all the related nonsense around releasing a new movie.

Melissa McCarthy has responded to Barbra Streisand’s recent viral comment on her Instagram.On Monday (April 29) the actor shared a since deleted photo of herself and director Adam Shankman, with the caption: “Pastels only to honour the incredible @matthewbourne13 at the @ctgla gala last night with this fella @adamshankman!!

Wiig, 50 told the Hollywood Reporter in a new cover story, published on Thursday. “That story had an end, and it’s so beloved to me for 10 million reasons, and I think it’s OK to just have it exist in the world as it is.”Since “Bridesmaids,” there hasn’t been a large amount of female-driven comedies released. “People get scared.

Ozempic and Wegovy are Hollywood’s drugs of choice — so did anyone use them in preparations for the 2024 Oscars?

The speculation comes after Oprah Winfrey, 70, trimmed herself off WeightWatchers’ board of directors after admitting to using a prescription weight loss medication.
