Challenge Couple Jenna Compono And Zach Nichols Say ‘I Do’ (Again!)
Jenna Compono and Zach Nichols held a “mini personal wedding” in Michigan last March because they did not know “how the world is going to be next year.” Fast-forward to this past weekend: The Battle of the Exes 2 couple, who got engaged at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree in December 2019, celebrated their “big one” with family (including their son Anthony), friends and fellow Challenge costars (including bridesmaid Nany Gonzalez) on April 2 in New York. “It was worth the wait,” Jenna told Us Weekly. “It’s something you really only get to do once, so I wanted everything the way I imagined it and thanks to my planner, Kristin from Eventful Days, our wedding exceeded my expectations.” She added, “This wedding was so speci...
Harrison Ford Set for First-Ever Recurring TV Role in New Comedy from Ted Lasso Writers
Believe it or not, Harrison Ford is about to star in his first-ever recurring TV series role. The Indiana Jones icon will hit the small screen alongside Jason Segel in Shrinking, a forthcoming Apple TV+ comedy from a pair of Ted Lasso alums: co-creator Bill Lawrence and writer Brett Goldstein, who also stars as Roy Kent. Ford will play a down-to-earth therapist named Dr. Phil Rhodes, whose recent Parkinson’s diagnosis pushes him outside his comfort zone in terms of both his career and relationships. He shares a practice with his protégé Jimmy (Segel), who decides to abandon his previous training and ethics and tell his clients exactly what he thinks — for better or worse. Segal, Lawrence, and Goldstein will all write and serve as executive producers. Shri...
David Duchovny Gets a Little Deep About Working With Judd Apatow on The Bubble
For decades now, David Duchovny hasn’t been afraid to poke a little fun at his own image. The veteran TV star has peppered his career with roles in which he satirizes the nature of being “David Duchovny,” most recently seen in the first season of the Netlfix series The Chair, in which he satirized himself with aching attention to details like his recent literary and musical efforts. But as he tells Consequence, taking on the role of “David Duchovny” was a very different experience from his role in The Bubble, the new Netflix comedy directed and co-written by Judd Apatow. The Bubble tracks a pandemic-era cast and crew assembling to film the latest installment of a fictional blockbuster franchise called Cliff Beasts 6, with Duchovny playing Dustin Mulray, one of the film’s stars, whose compl...
The Crash of the Unicorns
And here we have it, gather around, gather around, for the new American Dream — no no, you’ve not misheard, it is not dead, it has just been repackaged, refreshed and is still equally out of reach for most. Lean in, and listen up: all you do is take a company with an ad agency delivered logo, and value it at whatever you would like — just ensure that you like it above $1 billion. Next, you can quickly scramble to get that initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange followed by a massive party with circus animals, prostitutes and Ketamine. And bingo, here we are. Welcome ladies and gentleman, we present the so-called Unicorn. But unicorns tap into another American pastime, the snake eating its own tail. That eternal cycle of building up to unattainability, and then the crass hand...
Better Call Saul Season 6 Review: The Beginning of the End Is As Exquisitely Stressful As Ever
The Pitch: “Meticulous.” “Chilling.” “Engrossing.” There are so many words that come to mind when sitting down with a new installment of Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad spin-off which has somehow soared to a whole new tier of quality over the years. No spoilers (for fear of the Salamancas knocking at the door), but it can be said that the first two episodes of Season 6 keep this proud tradition going. As the show gears up for its last hurrah (the first seven episodes of the final season debut starting Monday, April 18th, with the second half of the season returning in July), every element of one of TV’s best-made shows is working hard to invest us in so many of the show’s biggest questions, including the most important one of all: How’s it going to end? Where Were We? Season 5 of Saul e...

Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have unveiled “Pana-vision,” their latest single as The Smile, a supergroup with Sons of Kemet’s Tom Skinner. Stream it below. The song first premiered on Sunday night’s episode of Peaky Blinders — titled “Lock and Key” — along with an instrumental piece by Yorke called “That’s How Horses Are.” “My eyes are open wide and now I see you/ Without your robes on, without your crown/ I don’t want to hate you, I don’t want to beg/ That kind of fascination, it gets in my way,” Yorke intones on the opening verse over eerie an piano line. “Pana-vision” marks the fourth single released by The Smile after “Skrting on the Surface,” “You Will Never Work in Television Again” and “The Smoke.” Meanwhile, “That’s How Horses Are” serves as the sequel to Yorke’s recent...
R.I.P. Estelle Harris, Actress Who Played George Constanza’s Mother Dead at 93
Estelle Harris, the comedic actress best known for playing George Costanza’s mother on Seinfeld and Mrs. Potato Head in the Toy Story franchise, has died at the age of 93. “It is with the greatest remorse and sadness to announce that Estelle Harris has passed on this evening at 6:25pm,” Estelle’s son, Glen Harris, said in a statement. “Her kindness, passion, sensitivity, humor, empathy and love were practically unrivaled, and she will be terribly missed by all those who knew her.” A native of New York, Harris didn’t pursue a career in acting until her later years, after her children were grown and in school.

Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Trade Shows for April Fools’ Day: Watch
Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel took April Fools’ Day to a whole new level this year. Switching coasts and networks, the comedians traded late night shows for the evening, with Fallon hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Kimmel hosting The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. While the bit is funny to rewatch on YouTube, it’s especially entertaining to see the reactions of the shows’ studio audiences, who received the prank in real time. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! audience went especially nuts for Fallon, who quipped, “Please, please please, settle down, you’re going to offend the other Jimmy!” Kimmel had the same thought, asking Fallon’s audience, “Show of hands: How many of you are disappointed? Be honest.” During their monologues, the pair chatted via satellite about the Freaky ...

Alanis Morissette has released a new version of her classic single “You Oughta Know,” and it’s a rendition sure to make even Lady Whistledown proud.

Dressed in a chic red pantsuit and surrounded by hanging flowers, Morissette sings, “And I’m here to remind you/ Of the mess you left when you went away/ It’s not fair to deny me/ Of the cross I bear that you gave to me/ You, you, you oughta know,” as the strings section swells, interspersed with clips of Jonathan Bailey’s dashing Anthony Bridgerton and newcomer Simone Ashley’s Kate Sharma. An instrumental version of the song is also included on the Season 2 soundtrack of the ...
Ex On The Beach Exploration: Will Arisce Convince Mike To Have An Open Relationship?
Ex on the Beach may center on the art of circling back with former flames, but it was a love triangle that had the house hung up on the Season 5 premiere. Now, as exes continue to storm the cast’s summer getaway house, the question is: Will Arisce, David and Mike find harmony as occasionally intersecting free agents, or will two strike a stronger spark that leaves the third out in the cold? On the premiere episode of the dating show’s latest season, former cast members from The Challenge, Big Brother, Love Island and more gathered in paradise with a single objective in mind: Decide whether to revisit relationships with exes who had scorned them, or move on and seek dates or hookups with other partners. For someone like Da’Vonne, that meant determining whether to seek a more adventurous sid...
Siesta Key‘s Sam Has Already Moved On From Juliette (And There Are Photos To Prove It)
“Have you seen what Sam’s been posting? That’s not Juliette.” (You’re right about that, BG.) Tonight’s Siesta Key showcased the aftermath of the breakup we all saw coming, following Juliette’s big move out. Barely 48 hours after Sam said he “doesn’t see a future” with the swimwear designer, photos emerged on social media of him hanging out with multiple girls — and everyone saw them. Cue classic Cara: “I’m surprised that Sam’s been posting all of that. It wasn’t even like a week. He Snapchats with a new chick every 20 minutes.” Jordana speculated that he’d been “flying them in from other places” — including Meghan, a blonde model from a far-a...
