How The Jersey Shore Cast Is Celebrating 100 Episodes Of Family Vacation
“Oh yeah,” there is nothing “awkward!” about this milestone: Jersey Shore: Family Vacation is about to commemorate 100 episodes. The “party’s here” in Seacucus?! The series’ first installment debuted on April 5, 2018 — and over the course of 98 episodes and five seasons, viewers have watched all of the highs (like engagements, weddings and babies) and lows (divorce, heated disagreements and going to jail) that comes with being a part of a truly unique family. So which JSFV moments stand out as favorites for the beloved roomies? “I feel like stuff with our kids,” Snooki states in the clip above, as she sits with fellow mamas JWOWW and Deena. Like flower girls Meilani and Giovanna at Mike and Lauren’s nuptials, as well a...
How I Met Your Father Review: Hulu’s Sequel Series Has Some Scraps of Potential
The Pitch: Somewhere in the vast wide multiverse, there is a planet Earth where, in the year 2022, the How I Met Your Mother spin-off series How I Met Your Dad is just now reaching its eighth season, with star Greta Gerwig thinking longingly about the indie film about growing up in Sacramento that she always wished she’d have a chance to direct. That planet Earth is not our planet Earth, where, in the year 2022, How I Met Your Dad ended as a 2014 CBS pilot that never made it to series, Greta Gerwig’s 2018 film Lady Bird received five Oscar nominations, and Hilary Duff is now starring in How I Met Your Father, a spiritual and literal sequel to the long-running CBS sitcom about the world’s most long-winded parent giving his kids way too much information about his past dating life. Does Sophi...
The Teen Moms (And Some Familiar Faces) Are Having A Girls’ Night In
Teen Moms Amber, Catelynn, Cheyenne and Maci are having girls night in every week. The at-home activity: reacting to unforgettable Teen Mom 2 moments because, after all, they can relate to the joys and struggles that come with being young parents. In a sneak peek of Teen Mom: Girls’ Night In, premiering tonight right after the debut of Teen Mom: Family Reunion, the MTV mamas and some familiar faces (plus plenty of late-night snacks) are reliving Ashley’s first scene on TM2 after appearing on Young and Pregnant. “Their daughter is the perfect mixture of them,” Maci comments about Ashley and Bar’s little girl Holly. “Every time I look at her, I’m like, ‘I see Bar; I see Ashley.'” Bar’s face tattoos are the next topic of conversation...

Pete Davidson May Host This Year’s Oscars
It looks like the Oscars may not let Tom Holland host this year’s ceremony. Instead, according to Page Six, the Academy is eyeing Pete Davidson to be the award show’s first host since 2018. Oscars officials have toyed with the idea of this year’s show having multiple hosts, and they’ve also thrown around big names like Dwayne Johnson and Chris Rock. Per Page Six, however, after years of declining ratings, the Oscars are looking for a “reset,” and think Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend would help bring in younger viewers. “He gets a demographic that is hard to get,” an unnamed source told the publication. “He is in a good space, his career is doing well and he is on the rise. He is a sex symbol, unlikely, but he is big with a certain generation.” To Davidson’s credit, he does have hosting ex...

Still rocking after all these years! It turns out Joe Jonas reunited with Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam co-star Chloe Bridges while filming his recent guest appearance on HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones. Bridges, whose husband Adam DeVine plays youth pastor Kelvin Gemstone on the hit comedy series, showed off their sweet reunion in a Monday (Jan. 10) Instagram post. Explore Explore Joe Jonas See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news “I live in South Carolina with Adam for half the year while he’s shooting the show, so I was very pumped when the @roughhousepictures crew asked me if I wanted to go to set for a few days,” Bridges captioned the snap of herself and Jonas grinning ear-to-ear on set together. “Plus, one of my scenes involved Joe singing while I’m just kinda...
‘So Much Is Going On Right Now’ At The First-Ever Teen Mom Family Reunion
Three little words from Briana — “f*ck the fakeness” — set off some of the teen moms at the franchise’s first-ever family reunion. So can the group dynamic be saved, or are more fights on the horizon? During tonight’s season premiere, Teen Mom OG‘s Maci, Cheyenne and Amber met up with Teen Mom 2‘s Leah, Briana, Jade and Ashley at a resort in San Diego (plus guests Gary, Zach, Brittany, Bar and Chau) for “a spring break they never had.” Pleasantries were exchanged right out of the gate at a welcome mixer, but there was visible tension between Jade and Ashley (remember that reunion?). And then Maci and Cheyenne brought in a life coach. “There are a lot of issues we have to work through,” Cheyenne Bryant explained. “...
Naomi Review: Ava DuVernay Brings a New Type of Superhero Story to the CW
The Pitch: Naomi lives inside the difference between an origin story and a coming-of-age story. The CW’s newest superhero story features Kaci Walfall as the titular teenager, who was already living a pretty interesting life before the possibility that she might have superpowers became a possibility. Based on the first two episodes, the first season (which won’t be crossing over with the rest of the Arrow-verse) is set up to offer an extended look at Naomi’s dawning realization of her own abilities, while also contending with the day-to-day realities of being a modern-day teenager. The show’s success is dependent on how much you want to see both of those elements play out, but thanks to Walfall’s charismatic performance, Naomi’s story proves easy to connect with. Not Your Ordinary Teen Supe...
Wolf Like Me Review: Josh Gad and Isla Fisher’s Quirky Genre Romance Feels a Little Too Forgettable
The Pitch: The new Peacock series Wolf Like Me is a sweet and quirky dramedy that makes great use of the talents of Isla Fisher and Josh Gad. It also, however, happens to fall into too many of the traps which doom the original series being made today for streaming. Again, the show itself is fine. But it can’t escape the category of being just forgettable enough to potentially doom it to obscurity; lingering forever in the corners of streaming services, joining its spiritual sisters Gypsy, Homecoming, Maniac, and countless others. The Reason Why This Review Isn’t Very Long: The central twist of Wolf Like Me is one that Peacock would prefer not get spoiled prior to premiere — in fact, the screeners were sent out with this note from creator Abe Forsythe: “I’d love for audiences to go into wat...
Saying Goodbye to Both Bob Sagets
In the public eye, for a few decades there, there were two Bob Sagets. There was the Saget known and beloved by an entire generation of kids as Danny Tanner of Full House, the kind and cleaning-obsessed widower raising his three daughters with some help from his closest male friends. And then there was Saget on stage — the real Saget, it could be argued — known for filthy jokes and, at a later point in his career, making fun of his literally squeaky-clean image. This is the sort of dichotomy that frankly doesn’t exist too much these days, and Saget deliberately played with these expectations over the years. Three years after Full House ended (and only a year after his eight-year stint hosting America’s Funniest Home Videos came to a close) came his film-stealing delivery of the line “You e...
Betty White Died Six Days After Suffering Stroke
Betty White’s death certificate has revealed that the television icon suffered a stroke six days before she died. Via TMZ, the official cause of death is listed as cerebrovascular accident, or loss of blood flow to parts of the brain. Reportedly, she was alert and cogent following the stroke, and passed away peacefully in her sleep on December 31st, just weeks short of her 100th birthday. According to PageSix, her final words were “Allen,” in apparent reference to her late husband Allen Ludden. White would have enjoyed her centennial birthday on January 17th. On that day, theaters will screen Betty White: A Celebration, a film marking 100 years since she was born, although it was slightly altered following her death. That same date, her hometown of Oak Park, Illinois will ce...
Remembering Challenge Front-Runners Who Were Eliminated At The 11th Hour
For every Cinderella Challenge story to take shape, a force of nature must fall. And on the most recent episode of All Stars Season 2, the odds-on favorites to win the whole shebang were ousted at the last second after an Arena game that would have made anyone’s palms sweat. Brad and Jodi, aka “Brodi,” who spent most of the game way out in first place, proved they weren’t quite untouchable after “Make the Connection,” which challenged partnerships to jump from moving truck to moving truck to collect keys, open boxes and secure a designated idol. Brad made the mistake of ripping the tops off of boxes rather than untying ropes that kept them sealed and, as consequence, he and Jodi were sentenced to The Arena against allies Darrell and Janelle, who were voted in by the day’s winners, Nehemiah...
