Stephen Colbert is one of the most high-profile and proud Catholics in show business, and it appears that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Vatican and those associated with it.
Deadline reports that Colbert will narrate Pope Francis’ six-hour audiobook Life: My Story Through History, set to release March 19 via HarperAudio, alongside Franciscan friar and priest John Quigley. The audiobook release coincides with HarperOne’s publication of the Pope’s autobiography.
Colbert has spoken publicly about his Catholic faith on his programs and in countless interviews over the years. He has expressed a deep respect for Pope Francis in the past.
In September 2015, Colbert appealed to the Pope to make a Late Show appearance during his New York trip, even offering His Holiness a custom chair.
A week later, upon the Pope’s U.S. arrival, he hosted a special “Pope Show” edition of The Late Show, where, among other things,...

Maureen McCormick and Barry Williams played step-siblings on the iconic TV series The Brady Bunch. But off-screen, the feeling between the two actors wasn’t exactly what you would expect between a brother and sister. The two had a long-simmering crush on each other that they finally acted on while filming on-location in Hawaii.
Maureen McCormick and Barry Williams had feelings for each other
In 1972, the cast of The Brady Bunch released their second studio album, Meet the Brady Bunch. Soon after, they headed out on a cross-country tour, playing at state fairs and theaters in San Bernardino, Savannah, Atlantic City, and elsewhere, McCormick recalled in her 2008 memoir, Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My Voice.
While on tour, the Brady kids spent a lot of time together in close quarters. “We changed clothes in makeshift rooms off to the side of the stage, boys and girls...

The Far East Film Festival in Italy’s Udine will open with a double bill of He Shuming’s “Ajoomma” and Kai Ko’s “Bad Education.” It will close with Zhang Yimou’s blockbuster period epic “Full River Red.”
In between, the festival will showcase a stunning 78-title array of commercial and art-house films from across East Asia. Operating according to a motto of diversity –implying cultural asymmetries and artistic multiplicities – the 25th edition of the festival will run April 21-29.
Organizers say that their selection “shows in real time how the cinemas of East and Southeast Asia have re-emerged from the gruelling period of the pandemic, not all in the same way and not all with the same results.”
They point to the impact of Covid, politics and emigration from Hong Kong, and the recent resurgence of Cantonese-language cinema.
Similarly, Udine’s organizers note the recent box office struggles of South Korean cinema,...
