Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl is a dreamy, melancholy portrait of a veteran Las Vegas dancer reeling from the news that her career has hit its expiration date. The movie is as gossamer-thin as the wings that the title character, Shelly — played by Pamela Anderson with an undiluted sense of heartbreak — keeps tearing on her stage costume. The story more often drifts than advances, favoring ambience over substance in a few too many wordless sequences observing Shelly wandering or dancing or just staring into the abyss in sun-blasted parking lots, on rooftops and streets, bathed in lens flare and the shimmering score of Andrew Wyatt.
After her promising 2013 feature debut Palo Alto and her sophomore stumble seven years later with Mainstream, Coppola seems more in thrall than ever to the impressionistic style of Aunt Sofia. But the new film — written by Kate Gersten, a Coppola clan member by marriage...

In 2000, Jennifer Lopez arrived at the Grammy Awards in a Versace dress that caused such a stir that it prompted the creation of Google Images. The dress has its own Wikipedia page and is still considered Lopez’s most iconic look over two decades later. Lopez said she didn’t think the dress would be that big of a deal. Her parents, on the other hand, were horrified when they learned she planned to wear it.
Jennifer Lopez said her parents were not happy about her Versace dress
At the 2000 Grammy Awards, Lopez arrived in a green Versace dress with a plunging neckline. It left both her midriff and her legs bare and stole the attention of everyone at the awards show. Lopez said she had no idea it would cause such a stir.

Actor Michael Keaton has a diverse filmography to boast of. From superhero movies to comedies to dramas, he has dipped his toes in all different pools and come out successful. But did you know that Michael Keaton is not his real name? The actor was born as Michael Douglas, but since another actor by the same name was already in the Screen Actors Guild, Keaton had to change his to become a part of it.

There was no fanfare in choosing his stage name. The actor looked at a phone directory and chose his stage name at random. But now, after decades in the industry, it seems like he wants to go back to his roots and adopt his real name alongside his stage name.

Apollo 13: Survival is a new documentary film streaming on Netflix that tells the story of a real-life thriller about the intense journey of the Apollo 13 mission to the moon, from launch to tragedy to resolution. When Apollo 13 was launched into space on April 11th, 1970, it was planned to become the 3rd successful moon landing mission conducted by the United States. However, a severe failure in the spacecraft led to not only the failure of the mission but also to the almost certain possibility of the astronauts losing their lives. Using real footage from the mission and also other relevant footage from NASA expeditions to keep its narrative as close to the real events as possible, Apollo 13: Survival bears visual testimony to the heroic and almost miraculous survival of the astronauts. Overall, the Netflix documentary film might be a bit slow for casual viewers, but it is an intense...

What happens when generational dependency causes a pressurized role reversal that is both tender and heartbreaking when the child becomes the caretaker, and the mother becomes the dependent? Writer-director Ziyu Luo explores this intricate and delicate dynamic in her debut short film, American Daydream. Set in New York’s Chinatown, the story centers on the life of Marilyn (Jessica Lee), a young Chinese American gynecologist who yearns to follow her dreams of moving to Los Angeles and trying her hand at acting. The only caveat is the guilt she carries from potentially leaving her undocumented immigrant mother (Yan Cui), who has come to rely on her for survival in the U.S.
Here with Deadline, Luo breaks down her poignant story of love, sacrifice and our difficult bonds with our families.
Deadline: How did you end up in filmmaking? Were your parents creative?

A quarter-century ago, frustrated by Hollywood’s paucity of good roles for middle-aged women, Bette Milder renounced the industry, declaring, “Movies are over for me.” Today, at 78, with a new comedy in theaters and a handful of other flicks burbling in development, she’s obviously had second thoughts. “When did I say that?” she asks. “I must have been in the dumps. I’m often in the dumps.”
Any artist might find themselves in the dumps, and Midler, an admitted chronic tsuris sufferer, may have spent periods of her six-decade-plus career feeling down, even momentarily out of fashion, but she inevitably locates one opportunity or another to propel herself up. Because Midler can do it all — sing, act, tell jokes and hoof pretty well, too, even imprisoned onstage in a mermaid costume — her career has been marked by a kind of Whac-a-Mole movement around the industry, flourishing in one genre...

Bette Midler. Susan Sarandon, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Megan Mullally are the fabulous four actresses cast as best friends in The Fabulous Four, the latest comedy entry in the recent string of gal pal comedies featuring older, big-name actresses and silly antics. I might call them “broad comedies” but then someone might slap me (insert rim shot). While some of those comedies have been a bit forced, leaning heavily on too-familiar jokes, The Fabulous Four is fun, a lighter and more relaxed version, and less fully-packed with far-fetched comic bits. This femme-centric comedy about aging, friendship and new beginnings is femme-helmed too, with Australian writer/director Jocelyn Moorhouse at the helm and scriptwriters Ann Marie Allison and Jenna Milly backing her up.

“The Fabulous Four,” Bette Midler’s ensemble wedding comedy costarring Susan Sarandon, Megan Mullally and Sheryl Lee Ralph, features more than just four funny acting performances from the powerhouse quartet. The late-in-life bridesmaids have a couple musical surprises up their sleeves, too.
Marilyn (Midler) is getting married and has invited her three lifelong girlfriends to celebrate with her in Key West. Her husband, who she stole from her so-called best friend Lou (Sarandon) back in the day, died only six months before the engagement, but Marilyn is ready for a second wind.
Ralph and Mullally join the wedding party for some silly, sexy antics, too — penis antennae and Kegal balls may be involved.
Musical theater vets Midler and Ralph sing a surprise duet of Jimmy Cliff’s “I Can See Clearly Now.” And Mullally joins Michael Bolton for a cameo to perform “One Life,” written by the Grammy Award winner himself.

In The Fabulous Four, movie legends Bette Midler, Susan Sarandon, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Megan Mullally reunite for a wedding down in sunny Florida. Australian director Jocelyn Moorhouse brings these comedic titans together for a fun flick that mostly lets their chemistry do the heavy lifting.
The story sees lifelong pals Lou, Marilyn, Alice, and Kitty coming back together after years apart for Marilyn’s nuptials. Lou and Marilyn have a real rocky history after a love triangle way back when it ripped them apart. So getting Lou to show faces a real challenge that wily Alice and Kitty are determined to overcome. The ladies rope Lou down to the palm trees and white sand with a little fib about a prized cat contest.
Sparks start flying fast as this foursome fall back into their familiar rhythms and routines, for better or worse. Sarandon and Midler go toe to toe...

Earlier this summer we had to endure the misbegotten Summer Camp which was yet another attempt by Diane Keaton, joined by Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard, to mix comedy and later-in-life drama in an older female bonding flick. Keaton had great success in the first film that announced this subgenre, 2018’s Book Club, which smartly matched four veteran actresses including Jane Fonda that led to a more mixed-results sequel set in Italy. Fonda also found real success in the subgenre with the entertaining 80 For Brady with Sally Field, Rita Moreno and Lily Tomlin along for the ride. Thus it seemed natural that other beloved female stars of a certain age would also want to jump on board in this game attempt to reverse Hollywood’s youth obsession and provide a little something-something for aging boomers everywhere.

A huge misfortune befalls “The Fabulous Four” right out of the gate: its resemblance to the delightful and far superior “80 For Brady,” the 2023 comedy in which four aging women reclaim their youth and friendship on a Super Bowl misadventure. “The Fabulous Four” is by no means a knock-off — both films had been written before cameras had rolled on either one — but their similarities make “The Fabulous Four” look worse by comparison, given how little of its humor and drama hold up to the slightest scrutiny.
Rather than a Houston football final, the destination is a wedding in the Florida Keys, which sees four older women (played by stars in their 60s and 70s) reuniting despite a past fallout — whose details trickle out slowly over the course of 98 minutes — and meeting a few handsome gentlemen along the way.

Whether they travel in groups of three or four, accomplished women of a certain age and their wacky adventures are having a movie moment. The latest entry in this subgenre is a frothy outing that sometimes falls flat, but at least The Fabulous Four doesn’t oversell its theme of friendship or its aha moments of catharsis.
Whatever the feature’s shortcomings, its title is not false advertising; there’s nothing ho-hum about the central quartet of characters, longtime friends who gather when one of them decides, on very short notice, that she’s getting married. As with Book Club, though, the fabulosity is more about the actors — in this case, two true icons (Susan Sarandon and Bette Midler) and two supreme masters of quippery (Sheryl Lee Ralph and Megan Mullally). The opening credits are a valentine to all four.

This article contains spoilers for "Fire & Blood" and this week's episode of "House of the Dragon."
Given the many surprises in the latest "House of the Dragon" episode, it's easy to overlook the sudden arrival of Alicent's brother, Ser Gwayne Hightower (Freddie Fox). He shows up to accompany Ser Criston Cole on his way to Harrenhaal, even though Cole clearly doesn't want him there. Luckily, Gwayne's arrogant, summer child ways are quickly snuffed out of him by the threat of a dragon attack up above, which Cole averts by having them ride into a nearby forest. Gwayne tells Cole he's in his debt, implying a more friendly relationship between the two in the episodes to come.
It might seem weird for this barely-mentioned-before brother of Alicent to so suddenly get all this screentime, but in light of all the complicated family trees on "House of the Dragon," we should probably...

Kim Kardashian channeled Marilyn Monroe again, infuriating Instagram users worldwide.
Kim’s flair for putting editorial-style photography on her Ig timeline has become synonymous with the ultra-famous reality star’s aesthetic.
Occasionally, she will pay homage to a celebrity while wearing something that looks similar to a celebrity’s style or, recently, buying the exact iconic outfit they wore.
Some of Kim’s celeb muses have included Naomi Campbell, Janet Jackson, and even the late great Selena Quintanilla in the past. Marilyn has also been one of her inspirations, as she shared when she controversially wore her 1962 Jean Louis gown to the 2022 Met Gala.
The dress was the same one she wore when she sang Happy Birthday to President John F. Kennedy that same year.

With The Case of the Bloody Iris, director Giuliano Carnimeo and writer Ernesto Gastaldi constructed one of the quintessential giallo films from that genre’s peak period in the early 1970s. Though it may lack the operatic excesses of Dario Argento’s “Animal” trilogy, the 1972 film is meticulously assembled with a keen eye to visual stimulation, and conveys its commentary about matters of race and gender at an almost subliminal level. What’s more, the filmmakers knowingly tinker with some of the iconic tropes of the giallo.
The Case of the Bloody Iris’s narrative centers around a 20-story Genovese apartment complex of Brutalist architectural design. Most of the action takes place in three neighboring flats. These settings emphasize the alienation of modern urban existence, as well as the kind of creeping paranoia that stems from living packed in tiny cubes on top of each other. The opening set piece...

Bleecker Street released the first trailer for The Fabulous Four, a wedding comedy with an iconic bridal party, during Sunday’s 77th Tony Awards.
The sneak peek sees Bette Midler, Susan Sarandon, Sheryl Lee Ralph and Megan Mullally‘s hilarious dynamic as a group of college friends who reunite for a last-minute destination wedding.
The Fabulous Four follows life-long friends who travel to Key West, Florida, to be bridesmaids in the surprise wedding of their best college girlfriend Marilyn (Midler). Over the course of one outrageous trip, sisterhoods are rekindled, the past resurfaces, and there are enough sparks, raunch, and romance to change all their lives in unexpected ways.
Midler, Sarandon and Mullally were announced to star in the comedy from director Jocelyn Moorhouse (The Dressmaker) in May 2022. Bleecker Street acquired the North American rights to the film that October, when Sissy Spacek joined the cast.

Universal Studio Group has greenlit a new live-action horror comedy TV series based on “The Munsters”, titled “1313”, set within the ‘Universal Monsterverse’, from James Wan and Lindsey Anderson Beer:
The original 1960's sitcom depicting the home life of a family of Universal Studio monsters, was created by Allan Burns and Chris Hayward, starring Fred Gwynne as 'Herman Munster' and Yvonne De Carlo as his wife, 'Lily'.
The idea of a family of comical monsters was first suggested to Universal Studios in the late 1940's by animator Bob Clampett who wanted to produce a series of cartoons.
The project didn't see development until the early 1960's, when a treatment for a similar idea was submitted to Universal Studios by "Rocky & Bullwinkle" writers Burns and Hayward. This format was later handed to writers Norm Liebman and Ed Haas, who wrote the pilot script, "Love Thy Monster", retitled as...

Women constantly face the stigma of having their looks and personalities used to determine their capabilities. A girl’s life choices should be up to her, not the biases and demands of those around her. In a time where phrases like, “girl boss” and, “good for her” movies have become entwined in our cultural lexicon, ‘Legally Blonde’, a film released back in 2001, remains a beloved classic of female empowerment. ‘Legally Blonde’s Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) is surrounded by people who don’t take her at all seriously and instead perceive her as a beautiful, dumb, blonde. Conversely, Vivian Kensington (Selma Blair), Elle’s brunette and less blatantly feminine classmate is viewed as smart, respectable, and less attractive. Through these characters, the film emphasizes the absurdity of allowing a woman’s appearance to dictate our perception of her intelligence and value.

The Super Mario Bros. franchise is one of the major video games in history. Most of the games were massive hits, and if one series did franchising right, it is this one. Over the years, we have seen numerous adaptations and crossovers featuring Mario, including but not limited to animated series, live-action works, and video game crossovers. On top of that, many of the old games have been remastered and republished for the current consoles, and one of the recent examples is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, which was remastered and slightly updated with new content for the Nintendo Switch and released on May 23, 2024 globally.
And while we wouldn’t really report on such re-releases, a major thing happened in the game, as a popular villain from the series has gone through a major change that finally and officially confirms their status within the fictional universe of the Super Mario Bros. franchise.

Think The Munsters, but way more grim.
UCP is developing 1313, which has been described as a horror series that plays on the Universal Monsterverse, aka a reimagining of the classic 1964-66 CBS sitcom The Munsters.
Lindsey Anderson Beer is set to showrun the drama. The project is being developed by James Wan, Beer and Ingrid Bisu for UCP. Atomic Monster and Lab Brew are the production companies.
Executive producers are Beer and Wan, Michael Clear, and Rob Hackett for Atomic Monster. Bisu is a co-exec producer.
The last time someone tried to dust off The Munsters for the small screen was in 2017, when NBC opted to reboot the comedy with Odd Mom Out creator Jill Kargman and Seth Meyers. The half-hour single-camera version was going to follow members of an offbeat family who are determined to stay true to themselves but struggle to fit in in hipster Brooklyn.

Oddly enough, Marilyn Monroe and Madonna became part of each other’s mythos — Monroe paved the way for Madonna, while Madonna made sure Monroe was still a big part of American popular culture. Madonna explained why she mimicked Monroe in the “Material Girl” music video. Interestingly, Monroe was not the only star from the 1950s and 1960s to inspire the “Like a Prayer” singer’s style.
‘Material Girl’ era Madonna said she was ‘attracted to’ aspects of Marilyn Monroe
The “Material Girl” music video is a recreation of Monroe singing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” from the campy musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. According to the book Madonna: An Intimate Biography, Madonna explained her idea for the clip. “Marilyn was made into something not human in a way, and I can relate to that,” she said. “Her sexuality was something everyone was obsessed with, and that I can relate to.

Madonna and Marilyn Monroe would be compared to each other no matter what, simply because they are two of the biggest female celebrities ever. On the other hand, some fans claim that the similarity between the Material Girl and the Some Like It Hot star goes deeper than that. Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone, had a different take on the situation.
Madonna’s brother said she’s not ‘self-destructive’ like Marilyn Monroe
Monroe’s influence can be seen throughout Madonna’s career. The “Like a Virgin” singer based her video for “Material Girl” on a scene from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, one of Monroe’s most famous films. Monroe is also one of several Hollywood stars mentioned in the lyrics of “Vogue.” The cover of Madonna’s greatest hits album Celebration is also based on Monroe, and the singer appropriated a famous sequence from The Seven Year Itch for her “Give Me All Your Luvin'” clip.

Madonna‘s “Material Girl” music video helped her meet Sean Penn. It also caused fans to compare her to another famous blonde. The Queen of Pop’s brother said that Madonna’s fans drew false conclusions from that music video.

In his 2008 book Life With My Sister Madonna, Christopher Ciccone gave fans some fascinating insight into the “Material Girl” video shoot. “On the LA set of the ‘Material Girl’ video, as Madonna is sashaying down a staircase, decked out in a fuchsia satin replica of the Travilla gown Marilyn wore in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, she comes face-to-face with hot actor Sean Penn,” he wrote. “He is 24, she is 26, their birthdays are just one day apart, and — for both of them — it is love at first sight.

Kim Kardashian made a lot of money with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians show on reality TV and her expensive outfit shocked and mortified fans who saw what she wore to the 2024 Met Gala. Of course, she shocked people in the past, but this time, some people think she went over the top and looked likely to pass out.

Two years ago, Kim lost a lot of weight to be able to fit into Marilyn Monroe’s gold Jean Louis dress at the Met Gala. In fact, there were some observations that the reality TV star might have damaged the custom-made dress. If you don’t know, she borrowed the gown from Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! stock. Perhaps that’s why this year, she wore a dress by John Galliano.

The premise of Sherwood Schwartz's '60s sitcom "Gilligan's Island" is laid out clearly in its theme song. Five passengers set sail on the S.S. Minnow with its captain and first mate, hoping to enjoy a three-hour tour of Hawaii. The ship hit rough weather, however, was dragged many miles off course, and washed up on the shores of an uncharted tropical island. The seven characters had to use their wits to survive, along with the contents of the inexplicably massive suitcases they all brought along. "Gilligan's Island" took place in a broad, slapstick universe, so any concerns of actual survival weren't addressed in any kind of meaningful way; Gilligan (Bob Denver) seemed to gain sustenance from energy-producing pratfalls.

For Vanity Fair‘s 2024 post-Oscar party, Lawrence ditched the polka dot Dior couture she wore to the Academy Awards, changing to a 1996 cream Chantilly lace puff sleeve dress by Givenchy, a slightly more revealing Bridgerton-style gown.
