Alan Cumming has signed up for the 'Romy and Michele's High School Reunion' sequel.The 60-year-old actor is excited to be reprising his role as Sandy Frink in the follow up to the 1997 comedy, in which Lisa Judrow and Mira Sorvino played 28-year-old friends, Michele Weinberger and Romy White, who invented fake careers to impress their former classmates at a 10-year high school reunion. Asked about the sequel, Alan told People magazine: “It's very exciting. It's been really fun actually talking to Robin [Schiff], the writer and Lisa [Kudrow] as well about it.” The 'Traitors US' star confirmed the movie will be released in 2027 but didn't share any plot details.He insisted: "I can't really say much without giving too much away.“Obviously everyone's still in each other's lives. But it may be in a different way... It's nice to think of those characters still being old friends.”Alan thinks...

It’s time to lie about inventing Post-Its… again. The musical adaptation of the cult classic comedy Romy and Michelle is heading Off-Broadway this fall. According to new Equity casting notices, Romy and Michelle is set to begin previews at Stage 42 in October 2025, with an official opening night slated for October 28. Based on the beloved 1997 film, Romy and Michelle features a book by screenwriter Robin Schiff, with music and lyrics by Gwendolyn Sanford and Brandon Jay (Orange Is the New Black), and direction by Rock of Ages Tony nominee Kristin Hanggi. Music supervision is by Keith Harrison Dworkin, with music direction by Sarah Pool Wilhem. Equity Principal Audition (Epa) will be held this month at Pearl Studios. The production of Romy and Michele...

Alan Cumming has been tapped to host the 2025 Clio Awards, which will be handed out at a ceremony taking place next month in New York.

The Tony and Emmy winner will emcee the 66th annual awards, which honors creativity and in advertising and marketing from around the world. Also during the ceremony, organizers will present the Grand Clio Awards, the competition’s highest honor.

A preliminary shortlist of all of the awards across social media, commercials, public relations, brand partnerships, activations and more will be announced April 14. Winners will be recognized May 13 at Cipriani 25 Broadway.

Previous Clio Awards hosts have included Andy Cohen, Chelsea Handler and Anthony Anderson.

Cumming won two Emmys for his role as host and producer of reality competition series The Traitors. He also won two Tonys, for best actor in a musical for Cabaret and best musical for A Strange Loop, on which he served as a producer.

Don't get yourself murdered or banished — if you're not finished with season 3 of "The Traitors" US, stop reading now because I'm going to spoil the season finale!

Let me get something really important out of the way. Alan Cumming, the actor known for everything from "Cabaret" to "Josie and the Pussycats" to "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," does not own a massive castle in Scotland, contrary to what he claims as the host of the hit reality competition show "The Traitors." The castle that's used as the setting of both "The Traitors US" and "The Traitors UK," the latter of which is hosted by English broadcaster Claudia Winkleman, is actually Ardross Castle in Scotland. Again, Cumming does not own it, despite his whole schtick about how he's allowing the players to stay in "his castle."

As a funny aside, the contestants themselves don't even actually spend the night in the castle.

A second reunion is coming. Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow are in talks to reprise their roles in a sequel to Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the pair will return as the titular Romy and Michele and serve as executive producers. Tim Federle is set to direct the movie, which will likely start shooting in June. The sequel was written by Robin Schiff, who wrote the original film and is also the showrunner for Emily in Paris.

Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion...

Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino are in final negotiations to reprise their roles in the long awaited sequel to Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion.

It isn’t the focus of this article, but as we’re on the subject of 1990s high school reunion films, Grosse Point Blank is very much worth your time, featuring one of John Cusack’s finest performances. It’s also got a brilliant punch up between Cusack and his real life martial arts teacher Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez, who was still very much in fine fettle over a decade after his two iconic bouts with Jackie Chan in Wheels On Meals and Dragons Forever.

What is the focus of this article is the underrated 1997 comedy Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion, which saw Mira Sorvino and Friends alum Lisa Kudrow play the titular pair, outcasts who decide to lie about their success in life at their high school reunion.

Nearly three decades after former high school outcasts Romy and Michele attended their 10-year high school reunion, a sequel to the 1997 movie Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion is moving forward at 20th Century Studios. The original film, which is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, starred Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow as Romy White and Michele Weinberger. The titular duo are in talks to reprise their roles in the sequel.

Oscar-winner Sorvino and Emmy-winner Kudrow will also serve as executive producers on the Romy and Michele sequel, which is set to be directed by Tim Federle (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series). Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that the movie is expected to start filming in June, likely in Los Angeles.

Sorvino posted to the social media site Threads after news broke about the sequel film, saying “We’re pretty excited about it.”

Nearly 30 years after the release of the ’90s cult hit film “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion,” stars Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino are in talks to return for a legacyquel produced by 20th Century Studios.

Released in 1997, the film follows a pair of 29-year-olds who realize they haven’t done much with their lives since graduating high school, and decide to make up a story that they struck it rich after inventing Post-it Notes. The film was released by Touchstone Pictures, a release label established by Disney for films aimed at adult audiences.

With the acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, Disney now has that studio and its specialty counterpart Searchlight Pictures to fill the role once held by Touchstone. David Greenbaum, the former head of Searchlight who is now both the president of 20th Century and Disney’s live-action division, is looking to expand the label’s output...

Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion is getting a sequel with Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow in final talks to reprise their roles from the 1997 film.

The pair of actresses will also executive produce, and Tim Federle is attached to direct.

Production is eyeing a June start date, potentially in Los Angeles.

The reunion of all reunions was teased back in November 2024 when Sorvino told People that a deal had been made with a director and that she and Kudrow were on board as Eps. Then Kudrow shared in January the update that a “really good” script had been written.

Original scribe Robin Schiff returned to pen the sequel film. She has recently been behind Netflix’s hit series Emily in Paris as an executive producer and showrunner. Veteran producer Laurence Marks will also return after his work on the original film.

Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow are in final talks to return for a sequel to the 1997 cult classic comedy “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.”

The new movie will be directed by Tim Federle, who created “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” and wrote and directed the Disney+ original movie “Better Nate Than Never.” Returning from the original film are screenwriter Robin Schiff and producer Laurence Mark. Barry Kemp will also produce.

“Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” follows two unsuccessful 28-year-olds who invent fake careers to impress their former classmates at their 10-year high school reunion. Schiff created the characters for her 1988 stage play “Ladies’ Room,” which starred a pre-“Friends” fame Kudrow. The actor was joined by Oscar winner Sorvino in the 1997 film, which was a moderate box office hit.

For decades since, Sorvino and Kudrow have fielded questions about a follow-up movie and, in 2022, they delighted...

Disney's 20th Century Studios is moving forward with a plan to make a sequel to Romy And Michele's High School Reunion, with Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow in talks to reprise their roles as the titular pair. Per THR, Tim Federle—a Disney+ company man who previously focused on younger...

Netflix's No Good Deed pulls off its big dark-comedy mystery with a star-studded cast. The series follows Paul and Lydia Morgan as they put the Los Feliz house on the market and gain the attention of three couples, all desperate to have their bid accepted. However, the process of selling and buying in No Good Deed quickly unveils a variety of secrets on all parts. There's something dark and mysterious going on at the Morgan home, but the cast of No Good Deed brings the perfect mix of comedy to even it all out.

No Good Deed comes from Dead to Me creator Liz Feldman, and the cast is just packed full of notable names. The pack is led by Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano, who both give unique performances as the emotionally devistating but strangely funny Lydia and Paul. Add in Denis Leary, Linda Cardellini, Luke Wilson, and more,...

Romy & Michele's High School Reunion went from being a modest box office performer in 1997 to a true cult classic in the years since its release. Thanks to home video and many viewings on cable TV, the comedy found a new audience that has boosted its profile and made the notion of a sequel a strong possibility. We've gotten multiple updates on a potential follow-up over the years, but Romy & Michele star Mira Sorvino just provided the biggest update on the sequel to date.

During a chat with People, Sorvino confirmed that she and co-star Lisa Kudrow are on board for a sequel to the film, and that it's "so close to being greenlit." The actress revealed that a deal has been closed with a director for the project and that she and Kudrow are also on deck as executive producers. Sorvino added that the writer of the first film,...

Out of all the camp classics that '90s cinema gifted the world, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is one of the more chaotic and silly choices, consolidating its well-deserved cult following. Under the direction of David Mirkin, Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow delivered phenomenal performances, which shockingly won zero awards, but not so shockingly, millions of hearts.

10 years after high school ends, inseparable best friends, Romy and Michele, are still living unbothered and for their own entertainment. However, after deciding to attend their high school reunion, they realize that they have not been doing as much with their lives as some of their classmates, leading them to invent fake careers to impress everybody. Preaching self-belief and confidence, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is an incredible tale of being unapologetically true to yourself and embracing the weird and wonderful.

Told through a mixture of flashbacks, an extended dream sequence,...

Disney didn't exactly have a banner year (by Disney standards anyhow) in 2023. None of the studio's films topped $1 billion last year which, again, is not the marker for success. However, for a studio with as many reliable franchises as Disney has, it's notable, particularly when movies like "The Marvels" and "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" flopped so badly. In any event, the Mouse House is having a real bounce-back year in 2024, with "Inside Out 2" literally ranking as one of the biggest movies of all-time at this point. Yet, oddly enough, it's R-rated movies that are truly leading the way for the traditionally family-friendly company at the moment.

This past weekend, Disney held the number one and number two spots at the box office, with "Deadpool & Wolverine" reclaiming the top spot in its fifth weekend with $18.3 million. Meanwhile, last weekend's champion "Alien: Romulus" landed at number two with $16.2 million.

Forgotten 90s comedies like "Quick Change" deserve to be rediscovered for their unique humor and clever storytelling. Gems like "Serial Mom" and "Multiplicity" were underrated, blending dark humor and satire with lighthearted comedy. Cult favorites like "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" and "BASEketball" may have been forgotten but still offer plenty of heart and laughs.

The 1990s were a great time for comedy movies, although plenty of releases have been forgotten entirely by modern viewers. While this was the heyday for stars like Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, and Robin Williams, who led massive box office hits that people know and love to this day, many more comedy movies were produced that have been doomed to obscurity. While Mike Myers may have hit big with the Austin Powers and Waynes World films during the 1990s, he also starred in movies that aren't as well remembered.

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is a cult classic comedy that has had fans calling for a sequel for years. Released in 1997, the film did modest business at the box office but gained even more life when it hit home video. A sequel has been rumored for years, but the possibility of one actually happening was given a huge boost in 2022 when it was revealed that development had begun on the project. News has pretty much been scarce since then as to its official movement, but one half of the reunion duo, Lisa Kudrow, has revealed that she has seen the script, but it's a matter of when it will go into production.

Oscar winner Mira Sorvino is looking to revive one of her most beloved past roles with a sequel film almost three decades later.

Sorvino confirmed that the highly-anticipated follow-up to “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” is officially in the works, telling Us Weekly that both she and costar Lisa Kudrow will executive produce the sequel. Screenwriter Robin Schiff, who penned the 1988 play “Ladies Room” on which the 1997 movie is based on, will also return.

“She’s currently working on ‘Emily in Paris,’ so she’s finishing up her draft to present to the studio,” Sorvino said of Schiff’s sequel script. “Lisa [Kudrow] and I are wrapping up our deals as executive producers on it with the studio. We’re full force ahead.”

Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow may be headed back to high school. A sequel to the 1997 cult comedy Romy and Michele's High School Reunion is in the works. In an interview with Us Magazine, Sorvino reports that the long-belated sequel is on its way, saying that "Lisa and I are wrapping up our deals as executive producers on it with the studio. We’re full force ahead." The sequel is to be written by Robin Schiff, who penned the original, but she's not finished yet - according to Sorvino, the script is being held up by Schiff's commitments to Netflix's Emily in Paris, which is currently resuming post-strike production. The eccentric, fashion-obsessed characters of Romy and Michele originated in Schiff's 1988 play Ladies Room, which starred a pre-Friends Kudrow.

Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow are "full force ahead" with a 'Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion' sequel.The two actresses - who played Michele Weinberger and Romy White respectively in the 1997 comedy classic - are "wrapping up deals" to executive produce the long-awaited follow-up film, but Mira explained the project can't move ahead because original writer Robin Schiff is keen to return but is currently busy working on Netflix series 'Emily in Paris'.Mira told Us Weekly magazine: “Robin Schiff, the writer, is working on it. She’s currently working on 'Emily in Paris', so she’s finishing up her draft to present to the studio."Lisa and I are wrapping up our deals as executive producers on it with the studio.

Mira Sorvino confirms that she and Lisa Kudrow are finalising contracts for Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion 2. More here.

It was all the way back in 1997 that out of the blue, Hollywood gave us a pair of impressive high school reunion movies. First up, in the UK at least, was Grosse Pointe Blank, starring John Cusack. That had the better reviews and initial response at the time. Yet since then, it’s Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion that’s come far more to the fore.

Starring Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow, and directed by David Mirkin, the original film – as discussed in an old Film Stories podcast episode here – was penned by Robin Schiff. She based it on a 1988 stage production called Ladies Room, and it was revealed a little while back that she was cooking up a Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion 2.

January 1999. One quarter of a century ago. I attended the Golden Globe Awards for the first time (as an accredited member of the press) — and it was a night that I’ll never forget.

Interestingly enough, the most memorable moment of the night for me wasn’t having Best TV Supporting Actress co-winner Camryn Manheim (“The Practice”) quiz me on lines from 1997’s hit comedy “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.”

Rather, it was when I was practically escorted out of the backstage press room for expressing my shock when Lauren Bacall announced Jim Carrey as the year’s Best Drama Actor for “The Truman Show,” beating out the likes of Tom Hanks in “Saving Private Ryan,” Ian McKellen in “Gods and Monsters” and Nick Nolte in “Affliction.” (My money had been on McKellen.)

Even Carrey himself was in a state of disbelief, wisecracking that the Globe made him a...

Matthew Perry's best starring film role was in the romantic comedy Fools Rush In, where he showcased the same sarcastic humor and charm that made Chandler Bing from Friends beloved. Perry's chemistry with Salma Hayek, who played his love interest in the film, made their characters' romantic journey much more interesting and believable. While Fools Rush In wasn't a commercial or critical success, Perry's performance demonstrated his acting abilities and his ability to merge his likability with his comedic persona. However, his subsequent film roles failed to capitalize on his strengths as an actor.

After the groundbreaking sitcom Friends became an immediate critical and ratings success following the show’s debut in 1994, all the show’s cast members attempted to launch feature film careers with varying degrees of success. Jennifer Aniston, who has clearly had the most enduringly successful feature film career, made her starring feature film debut...

A week after NFL athlete Adrian Peterson was eliminated from “Dancing with the Stars” following his strongest performance on the show, Oscar winning actress Mira Sorvino had her highest-scoring routine on “Most Memorable Year Night” only to be sent home from the competition early. What did you think of the contemporary routine that landed her in 10th place? Watch it above, and vote in our polls at the bottom of this post.

Sorvino’s routine was especially moving for her because it referenced her film “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” and also featured her own daughter along with pro partner Gleb Savchenko. The judges appreciated the joyfulness of the performance. They thought it was uplifting and heartfelt. Though Bruno Tonioli critiqued that she needed to engage her core more during lifts. She ended up scoring sevens from Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba and her first ever eight from Derek Hough.

Meryl Streep not only stars in everyone’s favourite movies, she also has a few faves of her own — although fans of the multiple Oscar winner may be surprised by what they are.

During an interview for Vogue‘s recent oral history of “Mamma Mia!” — which was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike — Streep reveals the two films that she and her daughters — Louisa Jacobson, Mamie Gummer and Grace Gummer — continue to watch together.

“Those are the movies that I rewatch with my girls the most to this day.”

“‘Mean Girls’ and ‘Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion’ are pretty much religious texts in my house,” Streep declared.

Bill Hader delivers a surprisingly dramatic performance in The Skeleton Twins, showcasing his versatility as an actor beyond his comedic roles. Jim Parsons takes on an unlikable role in Hidden Figures, proving his ability to tackle challenging and complex characters outside of his iconic Sheldon Cooper persona. Lisa Kudrow's performance in Romy and Michele's High School Reunion benefits from her similarities to her beloved character Phoebe on Friends, creating an enjoyable viewing experience for fans.

A select handful of television actors who are primarily known for their roles in hit TV shows also have underrated performances in major movies. The best television actors are able to sustain a masterful grasp of their characters throughout multiple seasons while most film acting requires a much shorter duration of commitment by comparison. Leading television actors are tasked with a larger workload than most film actors and even run the risk of being typecast by an iconic role.

“Dancing With the Stars” is returning to ABC for its upcoming season, and it seems the long-running series is bringing the heat with a star-studded cast.

Et has learned that Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino is expected to hit the “Dancing With the Stars” ballroom when season 32 kicks off later this year.

When reached for comment, the show stated that “Dancing With the Stars” does not comment on casting rumours.

The full cast of celebrities and pro dancers will be announced Wednesday, Sept. 13.

Sorvino is best known for her roles in the timeless comedy classic “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion”, and for her Oscar-winning role as Linda Ash in the 1995 comedy “Mighty Aphrodite”.

Thus far, only two contestants have been officially confirmed as part of the upcoming cast — “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix and the most recent “Bachelorette”, Charity Lawson.

Lawson’s role on the show was announced earlier this month,...

Costuming can often serve as its own character in a film, and Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" was no different. Gerwig enlisted Academy Award-winning costume designer Jacqueline Durran to bring her vision to life, which included brand-new, original designs as well as recreations of some of the most famous fashions of Mattel's prodigal daughter. Durran's previous films include beloved historical dramas like "Atonement," "Pride & Prejudice," "Little Women," and "Cyrano," but she's also the costumer behind Matt Reeves' "The Batman" and the stressful "Nosedive" episode of "Black Mirror." This is to say that while Durran's name isn't synonymous with bright, bold colors, no one should have ever doubted that Durran was going to deliver a masterful collection of magisterial designs.

During the production of "Barbie," the cast and crew had a rule that everyone would wear pink on Wednesdays (a reference to "Mean Girls"), further emphasizing the importance of the costumes and fashion on set.

It’s not much of a surprise when a sequel or reboot of a popular film or show gets a bad reputation, such as Sex and the City's revival series And Just Like That. And nowadays, it feels as though everything has a reboot, even films you wouldn’t expect. Such is the case with the '90s comedy Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion. The film stars Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow as the titular Romy and Michele, respectively. The entire film oozes camp and is an absolute classic because of it. But did you know that, in 2005, Katherine Heigl starred as Romy and Virgin River's Alexandra Breckenridge played Michele in a prequel TV movie?...

While cinema captures all kinds of relationships, from romantic entanglements to dysfunctional families, movies about friendship really pull at the heartstrings. The key to making a successful movie about friendship, whether it's a movie about childhood friendship or navigating friendship in adulthood, is the dynamic shared between characters. Often in these films, two unlikely characters become friends after going through a revolutionary experience together, or the protagonists have their already-established friendship tested onscreen.

Movies about friendship give filmmakers the opportunity to explore many facets of human connection and platonic love. Chemistry is key between actors for the audience to believe their characters' incredible bond, and as a result, the best movies about friendship feature top-notch talent. These films capture the impact and complexity of friendship, and viewers learn lessons alongside the character that they can apply to their friendships in real life. Movies about friendship are not limited to any...

Updated: This post has been updated to include Cinespia’s full lineup of screenings planned from May through July.

Cinespia, L.A.’s first and longest running series of outdoor movie screenings, has set its summer lineup, returning for a 22nd season of programming held at L.A. State Historic Park, the Greek Theatre and the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

“We’re thrilled to be back for our 22nd season with an amazing lineup of fan-favorite films,” stated Cinespia founder, John Wyatt, announcing this summer’s screenings, presented by Amazon Studios.

The season kicks off on June 3 with a special presentation of “The Lost Boys,” followed by “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie” on June 10 and “She’s All That” on June 16.

Then, Cinespia will again partner with the Christopher Street West Association (Csw) — the nonprofit that has produced L.A. Pride celebration for more than 50 years — to host a special screening of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show...

The girls that get it, get it. And by "it," I do mean "B.A.P.S.," the late '90s girl-power romp starring Halle Berry and Natalie Desselle-Reid. The film follows the duo as two homegirls whose efforts to swindle a millionaire inadvertently turn them into Black American Princesses (hence the title). It's a campy, caring chick flick with ridiculous gags and a few endearing friendships — but after 25 years, it's still one of the most misunderstood films of the '90s.

One hesitates to label "B.A.P.S." a cult classic. It was ruthlessly panned upon its release in 1997, and though it's cherished and championed by Black female audiences everywhere, the film is never mentioned with the same ironic awe as the other, equally campy films of the era. Think "Clueless," "Dick," or "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion" — all enjoy a special place in the cult hall of fame, while "B.A.P.S." is scarcely mentioned.

Marlowe has a packed and star-studded cast. Directed by Neil Jordan from a screenplay by William Monahan, famous for penning the acclaimed script for The Departed, Marlowe is based on the 2014 novel, The Black-Eyed Blonde, by John Banville, who wrote the book under the pen name, Benjamin Black. The film adaptation’s story is a continuation of the established titular character, who was created by author Raymond Chandler, while giving the private detective some modern sensibilities.

The neo-noir follows Philip Marlowe as he investigates the disappearance (and presumed death) of Nico Peterson after being tipped off about it by an heiress. Jordan has assembled a fantastic, talented, and well-known cast to portray the myriad of characters in Marlowe, most of whom have some kind of ulterior motive that Marlowe tries to figure out, all while finding himself knee-deep in illicit affairs the more he unearths their secrets. Led by Liam Neeson...

Alan Cumming is blasting Hollywood for Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion not having a sequel. The comedy that starred Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino was released in 1997 and despite talks about filming a follow-up, nothing ever materialized.

“I would love to do a sequel. I have to say, I think the fact that there hasn’t been is a really big example of the misogyny of Hollywood,” Cumming told The A.V. Club in an interview.

The Traitors U.S. host has a theory as to why the comedy directed by David Mirkin never got a sequel.

“You know, I think that the things I’ve heard about why, sort of like, ‘Oh, you know, they’re getting on a bit, older women, blah blah blah.’ Terrible. It’s such a popular film. If it was two men in that, you know, two men successful film, we would’ve had six by now,...

Watching the premiere episode of Hulu’s limited series “Welcome to Chippendales” left me thinking about the 1997 comedy classic “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.” To look impressive to their former classmates, Romy (Mira Sorvino) tells them she invented Post-Its and that her bestie, Michele (Lisa Kudrow), thought to make them yellow.

In Hulu’s new limited series “Welcome to Chippendales,” Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten (Nicola Peltz) is presented as the person behind putting the Chippendales dancers in their soon-to-be-iconic cuffs-and-collars look. With 10 minutes left in the pilot, Stratten pitches an idea to Chippendales creator Steve Bannerjee (Kumail Nanjiani): “I know how much you admire Hugh Hefner…which got me thinking, what if Chippendales did a Playboy Club thing? Cuffs and collars, just like the Bunnies.”

It’s understandable why the series wants to show Stratten had autonomy, especially considering that her name is now synonymous with her murder.

This Halloween, we're throwing it back to the 1990s. We've hand-picked some pop culture '90s icons who would make like, totally easy costumes. Think: Spice Girls; Romy and Michele from "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," Tia Landry and Tamera Campbell from "Sister, Sister," Will and Carlton from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"; Alex Mack from "The Secret World of Alex Mack"; Clarissa Darling from "Clarissa Explains It All"; and Cory, Shawn, and Topanga from "Boy Meets World."

And if you're still celebrating the release of "Hocus Pocus 2," you can dress up as the Sanderson Sisters. "Hocus Pocus 2" was released on Disney+ on Sept. 30, and it stars Whitney Peak, Lilia Buckingham, and Belissa Escobedo as the three teenage girls who set the movie's events into motion. You can also go as Wednesday Addams from "The Addams Family" to celebrate the upcoming Netflix series, "Wednesday," starring Jenna Ortega,...

Mira Sorvino knows the pain of losing a loved one firsthand. Just a few weeks after her father Paul Sorvino's passing, the actress sent her love and support to anyone who is also grieving the death of a parent. "I miss you Dad!!!" she wrote in an Aug. 17 tweet, adding in another, "I have been dreading the death of my parents my whole life. Now in part it has come to pass. I have huge compassion for all who have lost parents. It leaves you unmoored, thrusts you into a position you were unprepared for, without the counsel and love of those you valued most…" After the Romy and Michele's High School Reunion star shared her post, she received several heartfelt messages...

Amazon Prime Video continues to roll out a mix of movies for its ongoing summer slate. In the peak month of the season, viewers will be able to access some major recent releases like Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Licorice Pizza” starring the Haim sisters as well as “The Lost City,” which is loaded with stars like Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe and Brad Pitt.

Those looking for older classic films won’t be disappointed either as Meryl Streep-studded “The Devil Wears Prada,” and “Mamma Mia! ”will also head to the streamer (with the musical gracing Freevee’s catalog). Nicholas Cage’s “Face/Off” and the late James Caan’s “Thief” arrive August 1 along with “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion,” which stars the late Paul Sorvino’s daughter Mira. Don’t count out “Grey’s Anatomy” alums Sandra Oh and Kate Walsh in “Under the Tuscan Sun” either.

For those who like true story films,...

Prime Video got off to a fast start this summer with the release of The Boys season 3 on June 3. Now, as we enter the dog days, Prime Video is set to keep the warm weather good times rolling with a new twist on an old classic. That’s right, Amazon’s list of new releases for August 2022 is highlighted by some good old-fashioned baseball.

A League of Their Own, the TV adaptation of Penny Marshall’s 1992 movie, is set to premiere on Aug. 12.

Twenty-five years after starring in "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino surprised fans with a mini reunion at the SAG Awards on Sunday night! While presenting outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series to the "Ted Lasso" cast, Kudrow and Sorvino donned pink and blue power suits, respectively. It was an obvious nod to the iconic outfits the actors wore as they performed an interpretative dance to Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" at their 10-year class reunion in the movie.

Kirk Baily, the actor best known for his role as dim-witted camp counselor Kevin “Ug” Lee on the early Nickelodeon sitcom “Salute Your Shorts,” died Feb. 27 in Los Angeles. His domestic partner, Ranjani Brow, confirmed that he died after battling lung cancer. He was 59.

Baily got his start as a sound coordinator for the 1988 cult classic “Killer Klowns From Outer Space,” before he was cast in “Salute Your Shorts,” which premiered in 1991. Created by Steve Slavkin and based on a book of the same name he wrote with Thomas Hill, “Salute Your Shorts” premiered July 1991 and ran for two seasons. The series starred Danny Cooksey, Erik MacArthur, Blake Soper, Michael Bower, Trevor Eyster, Venus DeMilo Thomas, Heidi Lucas and Megan Berwick as various campers at the fictional Camp Anawanna. Baily’s character, Ug, acted as an antagonist toward the kids, as well as the most frequent victim of their pranks.
