The celebrated pairing of yesteryears, their romantic pairing is one of cinema’s most beloved, known for their undeniable chemistry.

A New Year means lots of removals from Netflix and January 1st is looking busy, with over 100 movies set to leave the service already. Below, we’ll be keeping track of all the Netflix departures for the first month of 2024.

First, a few housekeeping notes as to how Netflix removals work before we dive in. Due to licensing agreements, shows and movies added to Netflix aren’t added forever. Instead, they’re essentially rented for a fixed period. All the shows below have their current window on Netflix ending and will likely be bound for a rival streaming service.

We list titles slightly differently from other outlets, with our listings being the actual day of removal. If you want to watch any titles scheduled to expire on January 1st, for example, you’ll need to watch by the end of December 31st.

Nicolas Coster, the soap opera stalwart who starred on Another World, Santa Barbara and All My Children and appeared in such films as All the President’s Men, Reds and Stir Crazy, has died. He was 89.

Coster died Monday in a hospital in Florida, his daughter Dinneen Coster announced on Facebook.

“Please remember him as a great artist,” she wrote. “He was an actor’s actor! I will always be inspired by him and know how lucky I am to have such a great father!!

A familiar character actor who often portrayed officious types, Coster played chief of detectives J.E. Carson on The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo and later recurred as the millionaire father of Lisa Whelchel’s Blair Warner on another 1980’s NBC sitcom, The Facts of Life.

He appeared often on Broadway, and in his 1961 debut, he understudied for Lawrence Olivier as Henry II in Becket. Two decades later,...

Kendall Roy’s new watch on the latest and final season of Succession is hardly a quiet luxury.

The Roy scion — who on earlier seasons favored timepieces by more traditional makers like Vacheron Constantin and Patek Philippe — is now rocking a much flashier item on his wrist: a sporty Rm 67-01 by Richard Mille that qualifies as a ten-table watch (meaning a watch that’s ostentatious enough to be noticeable by people 10 tables away at a restaurant).

Richard Mille Rm 67-01

The watch is hardly there by mistake. Its presence signals the new chapter in Kendall’s life as he and brother Roman take the reins of their father’s company, and it was personally chosen by actor Jeremy Strong after an exec at Richard Mille sent it to him. “Those are all things that I do on my own because those details just feel really important to me, and...

Jane Fonda is dishing about her tense on-set experiences with Robert Redford.

At the Rendezvous with Jane Fonda event at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, Fonda, 85, shared her unfiltered opinions on Redford, 86, leaving no stone unturned in a wide-ranging conversation.

The two-time Oscar winner confessed that she was “in love” with Redford, her co-star in multiple films, including “Barefoot in the Park” and “The Electric Horseman”.

However, Fonda admitted in a surprising revelation that the Hollywood heavyweight opposed her on-screen kisses and maintained a perpetual sour mood on set.

“He did not like to kiss,” Fonda further admitted. “I never said anything [to him about it]. And he’s always in a bad mood, and I always thought it was my fault.”

She further revealed: “He’s a very good person. He just has an issue with women.

In a wide-ranging conversation at the Cannes Film Festival today, Jane Fonda did not hold back, offering uncensored opinions on Robert Redford, Jean-Luc Godard, Michael Douglas, and Katharine Hepburn, not to mention climate change.

Her comments about co-stars and colleagues weren’t always flattering. Speaking at the Rendezvous with Jane Fonda event at the Salle Buñuel, the two-time Oscar winner said she “was in love with” Redford, her leading man in four films including Barefoot in the Park, and The Electric Horseman. But in a kiss-and-tell disclosure, she said of Redford, “He did not like to kiss,” referring, presumably, to film roles with her. She added, “I never said anything [to him about it]. And he’s always in a bad mood, and I always thought it was my fault.”

She added, “He’s a very good person. He just has an issue with women.” She did not elaborate and the moderator did not follow up.

Talking about what she would tell her younger self if she could hop in a time machine, she said: "Lose some time to be emotional about the boys… I'd say, 'Don't worry, keep swinging, make mistakes.

Katy Perry calls 2020 a year of surrender. Shortly after she announced her pregnancy with fiancé Orlando Bloom, the world went into lockdown amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Aside from having her baby, life was uncertain. Flash forward to 2021, and what lies ahead is finally clearer.

The pop icon chatted with Popsugar about the past, present, and future - and the people who support her at every step.

The music video for "Electric" draws from Perry's experience as a teenager starting off in the music industry. When Perry reflects on that time in her life, she feels like she did "a really good job." She said, "I have no regrets. I stumbled, I fell, I made mistakes. I learned from all of it.

Ahead of this year’s Oscars, the academy made the decision to merge the Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing categories into one: Best Sound. The films in contention for this new award are “Greyhound,” “Mank,” “News of the World,” “Soul,” and “Sound of Metal.” Our current odds indicate that “Sound of Metal” (31/10) will take the prize, followed in order by “Soul” (39/10), “Mank” (9/2), “Greyhound” (9/2), and “News of the World” (9/2).
