Emma Heming is back with her family after the Coronavirus lockdown and celebrated her 42nd birthday with them. The 41-year-old was stuck in LA with her daughter as the latter pricked her foot at a park right before the lockdown was imposed.

Bruce Haring pmc-editorial-managerJohn Bolton, described as a full-time “Got Milk” ad by Trevor Noah, has a new book expected to be out soon, The Room Where It Happened. No, it’s not an homage to the musical Hamilton, which has a song of roughly the same name.

Juan G. Hernández, most notably known as Juano Hernández in Hollywood, was an acting pioneer who paved the way for many of today’s actors.

Ted Johnson The Justice Department is now seeking an emergency court order to stop the release of John Bolton’s memoir, The Room Where It Happened.The details of the book have already surfaced in a variety of media outlets and an excerpt in The Wall Street Journal, but the DOJ filed a motion on Wednesday for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction.The DOJ filed the motion in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia, and it is requesting a hearing for Friday.

Betty Broderick "remains an unreasonable risk of danger to society." So charged the prosecutor who successfully argued against Broderick's most recent chance at parole in 2017. And she has her reasons.

John Boyega needn't worry about getting more work in Hollywood. "I don't know if I'm going to have a career after this, but fuck that," the Star Wars actor told a crowd of thousands at a Black Lives Matter protest in London on Wednesday towards the end of an impassioned and powerful speech about racism.

And while this is Betty Broderick's story (like, it's right there in the name), if you're interested to know a little more about Dan's whole vibe, here's the deal:

After years of slim pickings Amanda Peet has finally found a role to chew on, portraying betrayed wife and convicted murderer Betty Broderick in the second installment of the , USA Network’s anthology true-crime series. “It was very exciting for me to get a part like this at this time,” says Peet, who delivers a career-defining performance.

Following its successful transformation from podcast to limited television series,  is back with a second season — telling another true story of love gone wrong. Here’s everything to know about, which recounts what Oprah Winfrey once deemed one of “America’s messiest divorces.” 

The case of Betty Broderick is back in the headlines. The second season of USA’s Dirty John focuses on the 1989 murders and the controversial case that’s been made into multiple TV movies.

Betty and Dan met at a party when she was just 17 and got married four years later in 1969. Dan became a successful lawyer, they had four kids, and, honestly, life seemed pretty good—from the outside, at least.

Betty’s crimes went down in the late ’80s, when she suspected Dan was having an affair with Linda—which, to be fair, would piss off most people. But Betty, uh, took Dan’s infidelity pretty badly. By which I mean she rammed her car into his front door, left obscene messages on his answering machine, and —all throughout the course of their insane five-year divorce.

A new week is upon us, which means it's a new opportunity to watch new TV. People may say to you, "Are you sitting around and watching TV again?" And all you have to say is, "Yes, but it's new TV." That's it. That's all you have to say. You have now owned that person and can get back to watching TV undisturbed, knowing that you are the victor in that battle of wits.
