Tom Sandoval’s cheating scandal may be playing havoc with his personal life, but it’s been pure ratings gold for season of “Vanderpump Rules”.

EXCLUSIVE: Lana Condor (To All The Boys franchise), Andrew Koji (Bullet Train), Ross Butler (Shazam! franchise), Sung Kang (Fast & Furious franchise) and Elodie Yung (The Cleaning Lady) are among those set to star in Worth the Wait, a romantic comedy marking the U.S. directorial debut of award-winning Taiwanese filmmaker Tom Shu-Yu Lin (The Garden of Evening Mists), which has wrapped production in Vancouver and Kuala Lumpur.

In her corner? Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix appeared to be on the same page when it came to their friendship with Raquel Leviss before Scandoval made headlines.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Steven Soderbergh starts things off with an apology. His assistant is on vacation, and he was certain that our interview was scheduled to start a full 15 minutes after it was supposed to commence. That resulted in a mad scramble of calls text messages to track down the filmmaker. “I was just sitting here staring off into space,” he says. It must have been a rare moment of calm for the always-on-the-move director, who a has averaged at least one movie or series a year since reemerging from a short-lived retirement in 2017. And he’s back again this summer with “Full Circle,” a six-part miniseries that premieres at the Tribeca Festival before launching on Max on July 13. It’s a morally complex story about a botched kidnapping that causes several characters’ lives to intersect in surprising ways. It’s also a fascinating portrait of modern-day New York City, one that showcases a privileged Manhattan family (Claire Danes and Timothy Olyphant play the guardians of a business that revolves around Dennis Quaid’s celebrity chef), as well as a pair of Guyanese kidnappers who are deployed by CCH Pounder’s shadowy business woman to exact revenge. “Full Circle” is the kind of knotty thriller that Soderbergh, a master of the genre, does such a great job of setting and then unwinding. To say more would be to spoil its pleasures.

Their time to shine. Sadie Stanley and Lexi Underwood opened up about making a statement with their Cruel Summer debut — and offered a glimpse at the conversations that took place between them and the season 1 cast.

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor Paul Walter Hauser has made hamburgers the latest red carpet accessory.The actor has found himself making the rounds lately thanks to his stunning turn as serial killer Larry Hall in Apple TV Plus’ limited series “Black Bird,” a role that has already netted him a SAG Award nomination and wins from the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards. After Jamie Lee Curtis asked him to bring her a burger to the next event, Hauser showed up at the Critics Choice Awards with a patty – only to learn Curtis couldn’t attend due to COVID. He later proposed to her with a smashburger at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards and brought 20 burgers to the SAG Awards, where he handed them out to the likes of Adam Sandler. When Hauser’s name was called amongst the nominees in his category, he perfectly timed a blissful bite on camera.So when Hauser joined us as a guest on this week’s episode of the Variety Awards Circuit podcast, we wanted to get his opinion on one of our favorite hamburgers in town, from the Corner Deli – which is located inside a gas station next to our offices. Listen below for his full review.

, but there’s one comment in particular that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. The T-shirt comment. A comment so low it left even the Vanderpump Rules cast momentarily speechless.

Her side of the story. Ariana Madix called out Tom Sandoval‘s numerous remarks about their sex life in the aftermath of his cheating scandal with Raquel Leviss.

Cause for concern? Andy Cohen recalled his initial reaction to Raquel Leviss‘ lack of emotion while apologizing for her affair with Tom Sandoval at the Vanderpump Rules reunion.

A blonde hair trend going viral for summer? It’s hardly groundbreaking news, especially since the upcoming July release of the Barbie movie is prompting people to get a Malibu-worthy look for themselves. However, one particular blonde trend is taking off on TikTok – and it’s much less maintenance than a full head of blonde highlights.The hashtag #ScandiHairline currently has 2.5B views on the app, signalling this method of lightening strands is set to be the look of summer for many of us with blonde or light brown hair (or for those wanting a big colour transformation from dark).

Tom Sandoval is getting his co-stars really, really mad.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director “Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker revealed to Empire magazine that he went full “Black Mirror” by asking the artificial intelligence chatbot known as ChatGPT to write an episode of his beloved anthology series. The final results were “shit,” according to Brooker. “I’ve toyed around with ChatGPT a bit,” Brooker said. “The first thing I did was type ‘generate “Black Mirror” episode’ and it comes up with something that, at first glance, reads plausibly, but on second glance, is shit. Because all it’s done is look up all the synopses of ‘Black Mirror’ episodes, and sort of mush them together. Brooker added, “If you dig a bit more deeply you go, ‘Oh, there’s not actually any real original thought here.’ It’s [1970s impressionist] Mike Yarwood — there’s a topical reference.”

There’s nowhere else to go but up for multi-hyphenate Sheryl Lee Ralph. During Ralph’s 46-year career, she’s been a trailblazing force. Since her debut in Sidney Poitier’s A Piece of the Action or her lauded turn in Dreamgirls on Broadway in 1981, which landed her a Tony nomination, Ralph’s been making a major impression. These days, she’s back to school on ABC’s mockumentary Abbott Elementary. Her role as the wise and wise-cracking teacher Barbara Howard earned Ralph her first Emmy win, making her the second Black woman to win for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. She discusses the joy of playing Barbara Howard and their personal connection.

Carolyn Hinds Black women showing confidence through their hair can be seen across the field of television shows this season. Sheryl Lee Ralph’s motherly role on ABC’s “Abbott Elementary” and Cassandra Freeman’s Aunt Viv coming into her own on Peacock’s “Bel-Air” are just two examples of Black hair telling a story and informing audiences about their characters. And there are more in the mix, as department heads from Netflix’s “Queen Charlotte” and Hulu’s “Unprisoned” will also vie for Emmy consideration.  “Abbott Elementary” hair department head Moira Frazier relied on decades of experience and her relationship with the cast to create signature looks for the characters that reflect growth and evolution.
