Why Teen Mom 2‘s Briana Ended Her Engagement To Javi
Briana’s engagement to Javi was not featured on Teen Mom 2 — and the final argument leading to their eventual split was not filmed either. But, the fallout — specifically, her side of the story — was featured on tonight’s episode. So what was the main cause of the fateful disagreement, which unfolded while they were on a family vacation a few hours away? Briana appearing on Chris’ podcast in Philadelphia. “The icing on the cake for him was the [Ashley’s Reality Roundup] article that came out,” Briana rehashed with her sister Brittany and mom Roxanne, as a screengrab of the headline “Chris Lopez Signs a Teen Mom 2 Contract; Does Podcast Episode with Kail Lowry’s Nemesis Briana DeJesus” was featured on-screen. “The...

‘I’ve Been Hanging Out With Will’: Is Amanda Breaking Friend Code With Camilla?
While Camilla found herself still reeling from Brandon’s second round of infidelities on Siesta Key, she was about to find herself facing another shocker. The show’s latest episode saw her and Jordana able to finally “clear the air” at the latter’s art show (luckily, no pools were present!), resulting in the ultimate sign of forgiveness: the unblocking of Instagram. But unbeknownst to Camilla, another love triangle was taking shape — this time, with Will and Amanda. During a round of golf, Camilla opened up to Amanda about her feelings for BG, at which point she also brought up Will — the photographer she dated, then dropped for another shot with Brandon, then tried to date again. “[Brandon’s] not gonna change, and it’s ...
Christina Ricci Joins Netflix’s Wednesday Series in Return to Addams Family
Addams Family fans can rest easy knowing Christina Ricci has rejoined the franchise as a series regular in Wednesday, Tim Burton’s upcoming Netflix live-action show. The streaming giant made the announcement on Monday, revealing that Ricci will portray “an exciting new character.” Ricci is the actress most closely associated with playing Wednesday, the only daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams. In the early 1990s, she portrayed the character in a pair of movies directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, The Addams Family and Addams Family Values. When the Netflix series was announced, some fans even launched a petition for Ricci to be cast as an older version of Wednesday. However, Deadline has confirmed Ricci will be playing an entirely new character rather revisiting her previous...
How Turning Red and The Baby-Sitters Club Prove We Need More Teen Girl Tales
It’s a bit funny to remember how, thirteen years ago, the enemy of fandom had a face, and it was Robert Pattinson. This is a bit of an exaggeration, except maybe it isn’t, when one remembers how the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, that annual orgy of fandom love, featured a nasty undercurrent of young men “protesting” Twilight‘s invasion of Hall H. In the year 2022, of course, Pattinson has now been embraced to some degree by the fanboys as our newest on-screen Batman. But while that might have changed, the vibes of those lackluster protests remain a too-familiar echo of an attitude to which female members of fandom have always been aware: In the pantheon of the great media landscape which distracts and delights us daily, girly shit is always seen as second-class. Not important. Not because it’s...
Judge Moves to Terminate Amanda Bynes’ Conservatorship
Amanda Bynes may be mere hours away from freedom. On March 21st, as TMZ reports, a judge ruled that the former child star’s conservatorship is “no longer required,” paving the way for the legal oversight to officially end at a hearing scheduled on March 22nd. Bynes lost control of her personal, medical, and financial affairs in 2013 after she set a neighbor’s driveway on fire. Her mother was named conservator, and since then the All That standout has struggled with drug addiction and bipolar disorder. In 2020, a judge ordered her into a psychiatric facility. After nine years, Bynes filed to end the conservatorship last month. Reportedly, her parents are supportive of the decision, which is one of the reasons that the often slow wheels of justice are moving so quick...

True Detective Season 4 in Development at HBO
A fourth season of True Detective is on the way. According to a new story by The Hollywood Reporter, a new season of the prestige crime drama is currently in development at HBO, but without the involvement of creator and showrunner Nic Pizzolatto.

Maury Ending After 30 Seasons
Maury, you are… not coming back next season. NBCUniversal announced earlier this week that the long-running talk show will end at the conclusion of its current, 30th season. Hosted by Maury Povitch, now 83, the show first began airing in 1991 as The Maury Povitch Show before shortening its name to the now-classic Maury seven years later. Joining the packed talk show landscape of the ’90s, the series stood out from — and outlasted — competitors like Jerry Springer, The Jenny Jones Show, and The Ricki Lake Show by becoming famous for its on-air paternity reveals. “[Episodes] touch so many classic themes, whether it’s love, distrust, conflict, drama,” the host once explained in a 2012 interview with The Chicago Tribune. “And the paternity shows in particular, you’ve got he-said, she-said, is-...
Bridgerton Tries to Add Some Substance to Its Decadent Style in Season 2: Review
The Pitch: When it premiered in December 2020, Netflix’s Bridgerton provided plenty of steamy romance and escapism, both of which were in short supply as the world prepared to enter the second year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Season 1 of the lush period drama, adapted from Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton book series, followed Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Regé-Jean Page), the reluctant Duke of Hastings, as they went from co-conspirators to marrieds, setting Regency-era London ablaze. Their exploits, and those of the rest of the ton, were chronicled by the acerbic (and anonymous) Lady Whistledown, whose influence at times rivaled that of the Queen (Golda Rosheuvel). The second season follows the tradition of Quinn’s books and shifts the focus to a different Bridgerton: this ti...
