Emma Roberts is returning as Claire Brown for a Disney+ Aquamarine TV series, 20 years after the original film, and will executive produce. Jackie's case for why it matters: today's bullied, insecure kids need the seashell earrings whispering compliments far more than any algorithm.
Chantel Nash's daughter Etta started child modeling at three months old. By under the age of two, she had been cast in Sky's Midwich Cuckoos. Etta now has a TV credit before her own mother does.
Robin Rombach sat with Martin Scorsese multiple times to demonstrate Black Forest Labs' generative tools. What captivated Scorsese wasn't automation — it was the ability to take a visual scene living in his imagination and externalize it for his team to iterate on. Language is lossy. Images are not.
A Bitcoin movie starring Gal Gadot was filmed entirely on a sound stage, with all scenery generated by AI in post. The result: a $30M production that would have cost $150M with traditional set builds. It never would have been greenlit at $150M — generative AI didn't just cut costs, it made the film possible.
Star Wars AI fan films are already pulling millions of views per video on YouTube, with channels like 'Star Wars Stories Untold' leading the way. Jason Calacanis argues the smarter play for studios is to build licensing models that let fans be creative with beloved IP — and take a cut of the output.
The opening scene of the Katie Price documentary says everything: a pink Range Rover with caved-in windows and flat tyres blocking the garage door, forcing Price to crawl underneath. Inside the garage, amid pink fun fur and memorabilia, sits a box labelled simply 'exes and surgery.' Even she admits it's a big box.
The Katie Price documentary on Sky — made by Louis Theroux's Mindhouse and directed by Paddy Wyvell — is remarkable for its unflinching access. Price has what Marina Hyde calls a 'nuclear candour': there is nothing she would take out, no question she deflects, no version of the story she softens. It's beyond 'I Am What I Am'.
Ashley Tisdale's viral The Cut article about being excluded from a celebrity mom group chat is now a Netflix half-hour comedy with Ali Wong attached. The hosts think the show sounds better than the article deserves — and that Tisdale came out of the drama looking worse, not better, yet somehow won.
From Sincere surviving every vote to Corbin and Parmita going home over a toxic couple, America keeps rewarding the wrong people. The original islanders protect each other in a voting bloc, the women set a terrible example, and the producers have stripped every good element from the UK format.
Casey got vilified at movie night. Sincere's clips were arguably worse — and the entire villa went silent. He refuses to give Melanie the bed, he coaches Anaya one-on-one, and America still votes for him. The hosts declare that any brand partnering with Sincere post-show is 'garbage.'
