For a minute, I wasn’t sure if the latest episode of Dancing with the Stars was a tribute to Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 or a celebration of Disney’s 100th. Looks it was a whole lot of both! Ah, the magic of product placement.

As she wasn’t known in Hollywood at the time, Fox said she never expected to get the part.Following a successful screen test with Sandler, Fox landed the part and said getting the news felt like she hit the lottery.In an interview with The New York Times, Safdie explained how Fox’s character, Julia De Fiore, evolved in the writing process to become “more specific” to the actor.“When she finished [reading the script], Julia asked me if I had been spying on her because she thought that there were so many strange similarities with the character,” Safdie said.Speaking about how he would call Fox whenever he had writer’s block, Safdie added: “I would ask her for advice.

“You Are What You Watch — How Movies and TV Affect Everything.” Case in point: The huge surge in archery lessons among women and girls, inspired by Katniss Everdeen’s bow-and-arrow skills in the 2014 movie “The Hunger Games.”Another prime example is the fact that after the success of “Jaws” in 1975, the shark population in the waters off the northeast United States decreased by about 50% as testosterone-fueled trophy hunters took to the sea.Across the generations, our viewing habits seep into our everyday lives — and it starts when we’re young, when the influence of characters like superheroes prove pivotal.

Just when you thought the pandemic had stopped kicking at the shins of Dancing with the Stars, then comes news that — argh! — it’s not over yet. Poor Artem Chigvintsev has Covid! Now his Bachelorette partner Charity Lawson has to dance with Ezra Sosa, a lucky member of the background troupe who now gets his 15 minutes under the mirror ball. It shouldn’t hurt Lawson’s standing; she was the only quasi-ringer to emerge from the premiere night performances.

Harry Styles made his big screen debut as a movie star in 2017′s Dunkirk and has been involved in several major projects since.
