First Vista Del Mar, now Hollywood!

Gal Gadot shows off her long legs in a cute white dress while presenting at the 2021 Golden Globes held at The Beverly Hilton on Sunday (February 28) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, and Annie Mumolo’s first movie together since their Oscar nomination for Bridesmaids ten years ago. Imagine if Lisa Frank remade the Austin Powers movies with middle-aged women as protagonists—that’s Barb and Star.

Kristen Wiig has finally shared the names of her twins almost a year after welcoming them via surrogate. In the end credits for her new comedy,, the little ones' first names are listed in the «Special Thanks» section. The listing reads, «Avi, Luna & Shiloh.» Wiig recently revealed her longtime love, Avi Rothman, is now her husband, meaning Luna and Shiloh are likely the names of their twins.

Bridesmaids” premiered a decade ago and became an undeniable box office smash.

After setting a new gold standard for the female buddy comedy with the 2011 smash Bridesmaids, Kristen Wiig and co-writer Annie Mumolo reunite on both sides of the camera to riff on a model popularized in the 1980s and '90s. Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar is so indebted to fluffy pleasures like Outrageous Fortune and Romy and Michele's High School Reunion that you almost expect a Touchstone Pictures logo to pop up.
