What is the truth behind Kamie Crawford exiting MTV’s hit reality series, Catfish? She has been the co-host for six seasons, replacing Max Joseph. Fans have been extremely receptive to her and love the banter she has with Nev Schulman. So, what really made her opt to abruptly leave the show? Keep reading for more details.

Kamie Crawford Spills The Tea On Leaving Catfish

A short time back, Kamie Crawford posted an announcement that she was leaving Catfish after six years. She shared she was moving on to her “next adventure.” There were other projects in the works and, essentially, Kamie had achieved all she had wanted to on the MTV series. Fans started to speculate that it had something to do with creator, Nev Schulman. Did they disagree politically and that caused a falling out? Another telltale sign that there was trouble in paradise was when Nev was in a horrific bike accident.

The Young and the Restless spoilers for Thursday, October 24, point to Daniel’s inability to stand it anymore. He needs to prove who killed Heather — and that it wasn’t him. But, just like it’s darkest before dawn and Daniel’s lowest point, it’s a cricket to the rescue!

A Woman’s Work Is Never Done

Danny (Michael Damian) is very, very worried about his son. But his music isn’t going to tour itself, is it? Sure, the boy he dedicated his life to raising — even when he knew Daniel (Michael Graziadei) wasn’t biologically his — has just lost his life partner, and Danny’s granddaughter, Lucy (Lily Brooks O’Briant), has lost her mom, but…singing! Europe! Money! The show must go on and all that.

But Danny isn’t completely ignoring Daniel. He video-called him. Then he sent Christine (Lauralee Bell — who challenged the Y&r cast) to him.

Jennifer Aniston took a moment to dispel some rumors – but also confirmed a few wild stories about herself that tabloids have written over the years!

She spent part of her segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Wednesday (October 2) speaking about some of the rumors that have spread about her.

First, Jimmy held up a tabloid that had a photo of her with former President Barack Obama.

The headline read, “The Truth About Jen and Barack.”

Jennifer said in response, “Of all the calls you get from your publicist where you’re like, ‘Oh no, what’s it gonna be?’ Or the emails saying some cheesy tabloid’s going to make up a story and then it’s that. I was not mad at it.”

“That is absolutely untrue,” Jennifer clarified, adding that she’s only met him once and she knows “Michelle [Obama] more.

It looks like she’s not as determined to help her husband anymore. While it was earlier reported that Melania Trump wanted to hit the campaign trail running to help her husband win the presidential campaign this year, it looks like she might have just changed her mind.

Melania Trump Just Changed Her Plans

In fact, it’s probably the fact that Trump has been found guilty on all 34 counts of his hush money trial that has made Melania change her mind about wanting to help her husband in his bid for the White House this year. For Melania, she just doesn’t want to humiliate herself anymore than she has to.

The entire world now knows that she hasn’t slept in the same bedroom with her husband since the very beginning of her marriage thanks to Stormy Daniels. If that weren’t enough, the entire world also knows...

Macaulay Culkin, the actor who reached extraordinary heights of fame and success with his tremendous portrayal of the genius Kevin McCallister in his version of the Home Alone saga, actually shared a rather peculiar relationship with Michael Jackson in the eyes of the public. That being said, most fans may not know that this friendship actually started with a phone call.

As Culkin himself admitted it, the pair probably wouldn’t have shared the kind of close relationship they did had it not been for one “weird, random” call that the child actor received from the now-deceased King of Pop. And, although this may sound similar to the rumors surrounding Jackson’s alleged abuse of youngsters, that’s hardly the case, and Culkin stands as a witness to this claim.

Yesterday was a big day for fans of the upcoming ‘Dcu,’ as we’ve gotten a first look at Corenswet’s Superman suit. In the photo, Superman can be seen putting on his bright red boots, with imagery in the background being a nod to an alien attack in the sky.

The costume was met with mixed reviews with several notable complaints, most of them being completely unfounded and had more to do with part of the fandom being unwilling to say goodbye to Snyderverse.

The suit was most often called out for being a downgrade when compared to the suit Cavill wore. Fans often point out that it doesn’t look like advanced civilization made it.

Yesterday marked a significant day for fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming ‘Dcu,’ as we were treated to the first glimpse of Corenswet’s Superman suit. The photo captures Superman donning his vibrant red boots, against a backdrop hinting at an impending alien attack in the sky.

The costume received mixed reviews, with some notable complaints arising. Many of these criticisms seemed unfounded, largely stemming from a reluctance among certain segments of the fandom to bid farewell to the Snyderverse.

The suit drew frequent criticism for being perceived as a step down from Cavill’s attire. Many fans noted that it lacked the appearance of being crafted by an advanced civilization.

The Indian Celebs Making Their Mark As Beauty Brand Ambassadors(Photo Credit –PR)

Thanks to the rising cost of living and soaring inflation, more of us are looking to tighten our belts when it comes to unnecessary spending. However, one sector that’s weathering the storm rather well is the health and beauty sector. In 2023, India’s cosmetics market was worth an estimated 2.32 billion rupees. In 2024, Indian consumers are forecast to spend more disposable income on beauty and cosmetics than ever before. Global brands are taking note of the enthusiastic spending power of the subcontinent.

Why Are More Beauty Brands Recruiting Indian Brand Ambassadors?

No longer an emerging market, Indian consumers have become a key demographic for established names in the cosmetics sector.

But we all know that Farhan is an incredible director, and Ranveer is a versatile actor.

Don is an anti-hero character and has a lot of enemies. Do you remember how Boman Irani fooled every one in the first movie starring Srk? Well, the audience wants that kind of intelligent villain to trick them. Recently, there were rumours that Emraan Hashmi will play the main villain in Farhan’s directorial. The Showtime actor has now reacted to the same.

The result, which includes his 16 fiction features but not his documentaries, is as follows.

The most controversial movement within country music might be bro-country. Jason Aldean was asked what he thinks of being classified as a bro-country artist. Aldean also discussed his favorite songs to play live.

Jason Aldean thinks ‘bro-country’ is a ‘backhanded’ label

Florida Georgia Line became one of the most influential country acts of the 2010s. They introduced a new subgenre called “bro-country.” Bro-country combined country pop with some of the instrumentation from hip-hop and rock. What makes bro-country really stand out, however, is its lyrics. Bro-country songs are known for their masculinity, focusing on topics like partying, trucks, beer, and sexy women.

The genre was as controversial as it was popular. While many listeners often enjoyed bro-country’s upbeat rhythms, journalists often decried the style as sexist, lowbrow, and repetitive. Critics also said the style took up too much space on country radio, making it difficult for female singers to get a foothold there.

Istina

Every year when the Oscar shortlisted shorts are announced, there are inevitable disappointments for those projects which have enjoyed festival success and yet just missed out on the big time. Oscar voters don’t always make the right choices, and as every viewer’s tastes differ it can be worth checking out those that came close. This year, one of them is Tamara Denic’s Istina (which translates roughly as ‘Truth’), the story of a Serbian photojournalist whose work documenting protests by people hostile to the mainstream media exposes her to significant personal risk. Anxious to protect her young daughter, she relocates to Germany, but even there, she may not be safe from international networks of conspiracy theorists.

Who is the real monster when the truth comes out?

Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Monster” marks the director’s return to films set in Japan for the first time since winning the Palme d’Or for 2018 film “Shoplifters.” Kore-eda went on to helm “The Truth” and “Broker,” set in France and South Korea, respectively. “Monster” is also the first film Kore-eda has directed from another script since 1995’s “Maboroshi.” The “Monster” screenplay, written by Yuji Sakamoto, went on to win the Best Screenplay prize at Cannes 2023.

“I think it’s important to acknowledge that our show is made fun of a lot,” Lili Reinhart, who plays Betty, tells Vulture in a far-ranging cast interview marking the show’s farewell after seven seasons. (The series finale airs Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 9/8c.) “People see clips taken out of context and are like, ‘What? I thought this was about teenagers.‘ And we thought so as well — in Season 1.”

The following interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Juliette Binoche has made her career out of playing characters who are independent, searching, unsatisfied, restless. From playing Czech protest photographer Tereza in her breakout movie, the Philip Kaufman erotic classic “The Unbearable Lightness of Being,” to playing a composer’s wife left grieving and with his baggage in Krzysztof Kieślowski’s “Three Colors: Blue,” the Academy Award-winning French actress plays women pulling themselves through confusing situations, political intrigue, and perverse romantic entanglements. Often at once.

Her body of work eschews a pat introduction, but the Quad Cinema in New York has put together a syllabus of sorts with “Beautiful Binoche,” a series of films running from August 4-10 in the lead-up to next week’s release of her new film “Between Two Worlds”, about a famous author who goes undercover as a cleaning lady to investigate the exploitation of...

"Barbie" spoilers follow.

To date, Greta Gerwig has directed three films she has also written or co-written. Each has a monologue, a scene, or a sentiment that lays out, in plain, often hard language, that being a woman is difficult in the modern world. To cite Gerwig's  "Little Women," Jo (Saoirse Ronan) bemoans the fact that women are often seen as mere receptacles for love when they are, in fact, so much more. "Women," she says, "they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. [...] I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it." 

The trend continued with Gerwig's latest film "Barbie," based on the Mattel toy and currently raking in hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. "Barbie" is an Adam & Eve story wherein Barbie (Margot Robbie) travels from the safe,...

Only time will tell how long Gemina can be kept in hiding.

Gemina Reveals Her Secret

Julia, Augustus’s daughter, goes into labor, and unfortunately, she gives birth to a stillborn baby. Child mortality had to have been high in that era, because mothers could have suffered from many issues that hadn’t even been discovered yet. There were inaccurate understanding of any ailments, but the onus was always on the females for not giving birth to a healthy child, preferably a male. Julia being Augustus’ daughter, her male child would have been the direct heir to his seat of power,...

Florian Zeller, the Oscar-winning director and playwright of “The Father” and “The Son,” received the Medal of Honor, France’s highest decoration, at an intimate ceremony in Paris on Wednesday.

The event, hosted in the gardens of the French authors and composers guild (Sacd), gathered a flurry of talent and luminaries from the worlds of film, TV, theater and literature — reflecting the breadth of Zeller’s body of work. Zeller was appointed Knight of the Legion of Honor by France President Emmanuel Macron.

Guests included Isabelle Huppert, Pierre Arditi, Catherine Frot and Elodie Navarre who have starred in Zeller’s plays; Christopher Hampton, with whom he shares a best adapted screenplay Oscar for “The Father;” “Simone” actor Elsa Zylberstein; Mediawan boss Pierre-Antoine Capton, with whom he launched the L.A.-based company Blue Morning Pictures; Victoria Bedos (“La famille Belier”); Orange Studio’s Kristina Zimmermann and Sebastien Cauchon, who distributed...

Hollywood actress Marion Cotillard is to play the role of the Snow Queen in French female auteur Lucile Hadzihalilovic’s next film ‘La tour de glace’.

‘La Tour de glace’ is expected to be the French director’s most ambitious film to date and will reteam Hadzihalilovic with ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ and ‘Inception’ star Cotillard.

Cotillard had starred in Hadzihalilovic’s 2004 film ‘Innocence’, as per ‘Variety’.

Co-written by Geoff Cox, ‘La tour de glace’ is set in the 1970s and follows Jeanne, a teenage girl who runs away from her orphanage located in a mountain village.

She flees to Paris with big dreams to fulfill and finds shelter in a warehouse which turns out to be used as a studio where ‘The Snow Queen’ is being filmed. The film’s star, Cristina, a beautiful woman in her 40s, takes Jeanne under her wing, exerting a dangerous and overpowering influence...

After starring in Mona Achache’s “Little Girl Blue” which played at Cannes, Marion Cotillard will work with another daring French female auteur, Lucile Hadzihalilovic, on her next film “La tour de glace.”

The long-gestated film marks the first collaboration between Hadzihalilovic and Muriel Merlin, producer at 3B Productions. Hadzihalilovic’s follow up to “Earwig,” which won the jury prize at San Sebastian, “La Tour de glace” is expected to be the director’s most accessible and ambitious film to date. The movie will reteam Hadzihalilovic with Cotillard who had starred in her 2004 film “Innocence.”

Co-written by Geoff Cox, “La tour de glace” is set in the 1970s and follows Jeanne, a teenage girl who runs away from her orphanage located in a mountain village. She flees to Paris with big dreams to fulfill and finds shelter in a warehouse which turns out to be used as a studio where...

Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall,” one of the best reviewed films of the Cannes competition, which was bought by Neon, examines the collapse of a marriage and a mother-and-son relationship in a documentary-style courtroom drama. The chamber piece is driven by Sandra Hüller’s (“Toni Erdmann”) nuanced performance as a successful German novelist on trial for the murder of her husband (Samuel Theis), who died in mysterious circumstances in a remote corner of the snowy French Alps. Their visually impaired 11-year-old son (Milo Machado Graner) is called on the witness stand, prompting a dissection of Sandra’s conduct as a wife and a mother. Supporting roles are played by Swann Arlaud and Antoine Reinartz.

“Anatomy of a Fall” marks a departure in terms of genre and tone for Triet, though she co-wrote it with Arthur Harari, with whom she co-wrote her previous three movies, “La bataille de Solferino,...

Two Japanese films by internationally renowned auteurs — “Monster” by Koreeda Hirokazu and “Kubi” by Kitano Takeshi — are in the Cannes lineup this year, and both carry with them big box office expectations in Japan.

“Monster,” which is screening in competition, will be released on June 2 by Gaga and Toho, the latter Japan’s largest distributor and theater chain operator. Koreeda’s two previous films — “The Truth” (2019), shot in France, and “Broker” (2022), filmed South Korea — were both box office disappointments in his home market. “Monster,” however, promises a return to the earnings form of his 2018 Palme d’Or winner “Shoplifters,” whose $34 million cumulative total was the fourth-highest among Japanese releases that year.

One reason: The screenplay is by Sakamoto Yuji, a veteran writer of hit TV dramas and films, including the 2021 smash romantic drama “We Made a Beautiful Bouquet.” The story of “Monster,” about a quarrel between elementary school children...

In film after film, from “Nobody Knows” to “Shoplifters,” Japanese master Kore-eda Hirokazu has proven himself to be among the medium’s most humanistic directors, inclined to see the best in people, especially children. So how to reconcile the way “Monster” makes us feel?

Returning to his native Japan after helming two relatively disappointing features abroad (“Broker” and “The Truth”), the 2018 Palme d’Or winner opens his latest Cannes competition entry with a building on fire — a “hostess bar” where lonely men seek female company — and fifth-grade Minato (Kurokawa Soya) watching the inferno from a nearby balcony. Kore-eda will return to this scene three times over the course of the film, folding the narrative back upon itself from a different angle each time, before finally revealing who set the blaze.

The title misleads for a time, inviting us to speculate about the darkness that surrounds young Minato. Could a child have been the culprit?...
