During her days as a Playboy Bunny, Jenny McCarthy saw some wild and crazy things go down at Hugh Hefner’s mansion.
In the early 1990s, Jenny got her big break after modeling in Playboy Magazine.
Being a Playmate of the Year meant that Jenny spent a lot of time with Playboy’s late founder, Hugh Hefner, at the Playboy Mansion.
Hugh Hefner, or Hef as he was often called, was known for throwing some of the most elaborate and outrageous parties on the West Coast.
Jenny attended many of those parties, and during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, she recalled just how crazy things got.
Jenny told Andy that her time with Playboy was a positive experience because Hef was married at the time.
Unlike some other Playboy Playmates who have come forward with harsh claims against Hef, that wasn’t Jenny’s experience.

The Mask played a massive role in establishing Cameron Diaz as one of the biggest Hollywood divas. Diaz was successful in impressing the audiences in her very first outing and flaunted an incredible chemistry with Jim Carrey. However, the 1994 classic’s script was never written for her. The director Chuck Russell’s original choice for the role was Anna Nicole Smith.

Kal Penn admits he didn’t know much about Anna Nicole Smith’s physician, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, before he was approached to star as the doctor in the indie adaptation of his memoir, “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor.”
“But then I read the doctor’s autobiography and found it interesting and compelling,” Penn told me Monday night at the South Asians at the Oscars party on the Paramount lot.
Variety’s Tatiana Siegel exclusively reported Feb. 23 that Penn is set to portray Sandeep in “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor,” which chronicles Smith’s final days before dying of an accidental overdose in 2007 at the age of 39.

Euphoria Star Sydney Sweeney’s Net Worth Takes An Unimaginable Jump ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has witnessed a stardom that is rarely bestowed upon artists. Thanks to her characters Cassie Howard in Euphoria and later Olivia Mossbacher in The White Lotus, her position as a fan’s favorite was cemented. Interestingly, the two shows made quite a difference to her net worth in two years.
Sydney began her career as a guest star in TV shows like 90210, Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy, and Pretty Little Liars. Her first big break was with Netflix’s drama Everything Sucks! where she played Emaline Addario.

Reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter Dannielynn Birkhead recently turned 17 and her father Larry wished her a happy birthday through throwback photos of when she was a baby. But he didn’t have newborn photos alongside Dannielynn because he only gained custody of her after Anna died.
Dannielynn was five months old when Anna suddenly died in a Florida hotel. Custody of who would raise the baby came into question because Anna originally said that boyfriend Howard K. Stern was Dannielynn’s father. But Larry insisted he was Dannielynn’s father and a wild court case ensued. Anna and Larry had a romantic fling that lasted for several months. She broke off the relationship but was pregnant.
After several weeks, a DNA test proved that Larry was the father. At that point, Dannielynn was seven months old.

In The Palace, guests of a luxury hotel prepare to celebrate the turn of the millennium. The caviar is tasted. The fireworks are readied. Soon (you guessed it) indulgence shifts to debauchery. The director, if you haven’t heard, is Roman Polanski, a filmmaker whose marketability in Europe seems to endure almost in spite of its continued non-existence in Britain and the United States. The Palace was made on a budget of €17,000,000, boasts an Alexandre Desplat score and a starry cast, and was shot in the Gstaad Palace of Switzerland, where a basic single room will set you back a grand a night. The Palace premiered this week at the Venice Film Festival, where Polanski’s last film, An Officer and A Spy, opened to cautiously positive reviews in 2019, ultimately winning him the Silver Lion for Best Director. At the time you could almost feel the critical consensus straining against its better judgment.

In case you somehow managed to dodge all the news reports over the last several weeks, things haven’t been going that great for Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle.
After Spotify terminated its multi-million deal with the pair, a company executive labeled them “f****** grifters” and threatened to reveal an apparently embarrassing conversation he had with the Duke of Sussex when trying to help him come up with podcast ideas. In addition, the fashion house Dior debunked a claim that it was working with the Duchess of Sussex on any campaign. Moreover, the couple’s six-part Netflix docuseries did not receive an Emmy nomination. And on top of that, there’s been no shortage of rumors that the two are having financial problems and are headed for a divorce.

Summer movie season is heating up, but if you can’t make it out to a theater, there are plenty of great films to stream at home in May. This month sees the streaming debut of Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” which, judging by the box office, many of you skipped seeing in theaters. The sequel hits Disney+ on May 17, a week after the Disney+ streaming debut of the Tom Holland-fronted “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and a couple of days before the Jack Harlow-fronted “White Men Can’t Jump” remake debuts on Hulu.
The well-reviewed drama “Air” — written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, directed by Affleck and starring both — comes to Prime Video on May 12 after an exclusive theatrical run, and Netflix has an Anna Nicole Smith documentary hitting on May 16.

Is American Idol the cause of all of our problems? Well, Whoopi Goldberg certainly thinks it had a big part to play in” the downfall of society.” The topic came up during The View on Wednesday, May 24, when Goldberg and her co-hosts were discussing Netflix’s new Anna Nicole Smith documentary. The Egot winner said that viewers continue to watch this kind of programming because “people like to be judgy.” “You have Basketball Wives, you have the Housewives of whatever, all the Bravo shows, giving you the impression that you’re doing something wrong because you’re living your life,” she said, per the New York Post. “People watch these shows because they make them feel better… I think that we, as a society, love to watch stuff to judge folks.” Goldberg then offered her theory as to when this all began. “You know, I’ve always thought that the...

“American Idol” may be responsible for launching the careers of several music superstars, but according to “The View” host Whoopi Goldberg, it can also be credited with “the beginning of the downfall of society.”
Goldberg’s comments came on Wednesday morning, as the women of “The View” were discussing Netflix’s new documentary on Anna Nicole Smith, and why — or even if — the documentary needs to exist.
“I think that we, as a society, love to watch stuff to judge folks,” Goldberg argued.
In fact, the moderator even went so far as to peg the moment in time that that started happening.
“You know, I’ve always thought that the beginning of the downfall of society was with, um, what’s the name of that show?” she said, turning to executive producer Brian Teta for an assist. “I always tell you that.”

“This may say a lot about our current culture of celebrity and media these days: all the major cable news networks switched over to non-stop live coverage this afternoon when word arrived that Anna Nicole Smith had died,” we hear an archival Brian Williams report in the opening segment of Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me. The tabloid sensation died at age 39 on Feb. 8, 2007. Williams’ implication persists 15 years later, evolving still as new players enter the scene. All the same, Anna Nicole Smith remains a modern icon. She weaved a life’s tapestry that became a blueprint for celebrity fame in the early 21st century. She was also one of the first superstar casualties of the 24-hour news cycle.

Now that Britney is free and Pamela Anderson did Broadway, it’s time for Anna Nicole Smith’s day in court — and not the bankruptcy kind.
Six years after MeToo dragged all the musty old skeletons out of every industry’s closet, we seem to have finally arrived at the end of respectability politics for women. Gone are the days when a media outlet can report what a victim was wearing or if they were drinking. In interviews surrounding her successful sexual abuse lawsuit against Donald Trump, the writer E. Jean Carroll felt perfectly comfortable saying she once thought Trump was handsome. And a victim’s sexual history is no longer fair game — certainly not since Stormy Daniels may be the key to a potential Trump felony conviction.
As a secondary consequence of MeToo, there has been a major shift in the way we speak, write, and think about women’s bodies,...

Over the last several years, the documentary space has increasingly explored a topic that director Ursula Macfarlane and producer Alexandra Lacey say it never would have even just 10 years ago: wronged women.
“This film wouldn’t have been made in this way even five years ago — certainly, not 10 years ago,” doc director Ursula Macfarlane tells The Hollywood Reporter.
But for the new Netflix documentary, Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me, she and producer Alexandra Lacey weren’t necessarily aiming to redeem a woman who had been wronged by the media and society. “It was important for us to show that it wasn’t a redemption story. It’s much more complicated than that,” the director explains. “She had agency, but it wasn’t straightforward.”
Instead, the film — which dropped May 16 on the streamer — interrogates Smith and her journey from Houston to the arms of billionaire J. Howard Marshall...

Larry Birkhead, the ex-partner of the late Anna Nicole Smith, has spoken out against the new Netflix documentary about the late model and actress, which started streaming Tuesday, May 16. Speaking to Et Online, Birkhead said he refused to participate in the documentary for several reasons, the main one being to protect the couple’s daughter Dannielynn from being part of a “poorly reviewed cesspool of a project about her mother.” “We declined to participate as I did not want my daughter in an overwhelmingly poorly reviewed cesspool of a project about her Mother, where some people were allowed to invent things and rewrite history,” the photographer said. He added, “I am looking forward to a true definitive Anna Nicole project where her truth can be heard from her own perspective and by those that truly knew her the best and not just another ‘wash, rinse and repeat’ Anna Nicole project.

About forty-five minutes into Netflix’s Anna Nicole Smith documentary, I had the urge to throw my laptop away and break some things in rage. Normally, I do not let things on screen get to me, no matter how emotionally draining they are, especially when I am watching them for work. Sometimes, though, things have a way of getting out of hand. Anna Nicole Smith found her way back to her biological father when she was twenty-four. She was over the moon. The father tried to have sex with her.

Anna Nicole Smith, a name that became such a sensation throughout her career as a model, is most infamous for marrying an elderly, rich businessman in America. It was easy to point fingers at her and call her the famous word “gold digger,” but there was more to her than the image that was projected to the world. The woman was known to like plenty of attention, and this was extensively covered in the almost two-hour Netflix documentary on this starlet. Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me, directed by Ursula Macfarlane, was quick to let the audience know that the model-turned-actress had many things going her way and was on her way to becoming a vibrant celebrity. Like Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole passed away when the world was just on the cusp of discovering social media. With the craze that social media is right now, it would be hard...

If its subtitle is to be believed, Netflix's Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me ostensibly offers a window into the private life of the model and actress, who died of an accidental overdose in 2007. Director Ursula Macfarlane (Untouchable) combines never-before-seen footage of Smith (born Vickie Lynn Hogan), archival clips from talk shows and her E! reality show, and interviews with friends and family to craft what the streamer describes as an "unflinching and humanizing examination" of a woman unfairly maligned by the media and largely unknown to the public.
"Many previous books and films about Anna Nicole twisted her narrative," Macfarlane tells Netflix's Tudum. "I really feel like she is telling her own story in her own words. And with the contributions of people in her life who genuinely knew her, I feel that we've been able to get closer to her truth."...

The actor and model lived a life of much-publicized excess but a new Netflix documentary provides a more rounded idea of who she really was
In the recent wave of documentaries demanding justice for the tragic blondes of the 1990s – Britney Spears, Princess Diana and Pamela Anderson among them – it’s unsurprising to find a new film about Anna Nicole Smith next in the queue.
Anna Nicole: You Don’t Know Me, a Netflix production directed by Ursula Macfarlane, revisits the life of the titular model and Playboy centerfold best known for marrying an octogenarian billionaire, then very publicly losing it all; in 2007, she was found dead in a Hollywood, Florida, Hard Rock hotel at the young age of 39, having taken a toxic mixture of methadone, Valium and a variety of sedatives.

Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me telegraphs its intentions loud and early. The documentary’s subject, the buxom blonde Guess and Playboy model who became a cultural caricature before dying from an accidental drug overdose in 2007 at age 39, was misunderstood. The forces that created her also destroyed her. Shame on us. You could program You Don’t Know Me in a double feature with Pamela: A Love Story, another recent Netflix documentary about a sex symbol laid low by the public that made her famous.
You Don’t Know Me largely adheres to its playbook.

Ursula Macfarlane’s documentary recounts the sad story of the smalltown girl turned Playboy model who ended up a victim of the celeb industry and addiction
The strange, sad story of Anna Nicole Smith is retold in this Netflix documentary by Ursula Macfarlane, who made Untouchable, about Harvey Weinstein. Smith was the former Playboy centrefold and Guess Jeans model who wound up dead of a drug overdose in 2007 at the age of 39, soon after her 20-year-old son had tragically died the same way. There are eerie similarities with the life of Pamela Anderson, also a recent Netflix subject, though Anderson survives and thrives.
Smith was a smalltown Texas girl from a tough background – although she was accused by her mother of manufacturing abuse stories for publicity. She embraced Playboy superstardom, tabloid notoriety and media letching that so easily flipped over into misogynist hate. Like Anderson, Smith used the “blonde” image...

Throughout her all-too-brief life, Anna Nicole Smith played a variety of roles on screen and off, identifying as someone different to everyone in her orbit. Even her name was part of a manufactured persona, carved from the same marble as Marilyn Monroe — an aspirational idol of hers. The buxom blonde bombshell represented the dynamic range a woman’s identity could span, from the saintly to the sinful. Born Vickie Lynn Hogan, she swapped her small-town woes for a ticket to stardom as a Playboy Playmate, Guess Jeans pinup girl and glamorous movie star: a walking, talking billboard for fashion, sex and, later, severe misfortune.

In comparison to their previous documentaries, it’s easily one of the more negative and pessimistic explorations of femininity and fame.

“The phrase ‘Rest in Peace’ means absolutely nothing, unfortunately, when it comes to Anna Nicole Smith.” So says a news anchor in a clip from not long after Anna Nicole Smith’s death by overdose at 39. And though Netflix’s Anna Nicole Smith: You Don’t Know Me does not make clear which of the many rumors and legal battles the reporter might be commenting on, the existence of this very documentary would seem to prove her point.
Sixteen years after her passing, we still cannot look away from this model turned punchline. Her life and death have been the subject of an opera and a TV movie, with a feature film reportedly on the way. Her iconic Guess photoshoot was resurrected for a 2021 ad campaign (with the rather creepy slogan “Did you miss me?”). Not all the attention is nefarious. For its part, You Don’t Know Me aims to cut...
