Game of Thrones’ David Benioff and D.B. Weiss to Adapt Sci-Fi Epic The Three-Body Problem for Netflix
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss Last year, Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss inked a five-year deal with Netflix reportedly worth $250 million dollars.

Will Leah And Corey’s Co-Parenting Relationship Take A Step Backward On Teen Mom 2?
Last season’s Teen Mom 2 reunion featured Jeremy being critical of Corey — specifically, Ali’s dad not attending his daughter’s (out-of-town) doctor appointments. Tonight’s season premiere picked up on Jeremy’s comments — with Leah being in a “tough spot” because she did not plan to confront her first ex-husband about the topic and feared that her amicable co-parenting efforts with Corey could go backward (and they could potentially wind up back in court). Corey wasn’t present at the taped special because he didn’t want to get “sucked into the drama,” so ultimately he couldn’t offer his version of events — which concerned Leah. But when Corey saw Jeremy’s critique on TV, he posted some “an...
Riverdale’s Marisol Nichols Works Undercover As a Sex Trafficking Agent
Truth is stranger than fiction, they say, and the secret life of Marisol Nichols is at least as wild as anything on Riverdale. One of the stars of the CW series, she has spent years as a real-life undercover sex trafficking agent, and her unusual personal life has inspired a new TV show. The 46-year-old actress revealed her second job in a gripping April profile in Marie Claire. Written by Erika Hayasaki and called “The Hollywood Vigilante”, it follows Nichols on a sting operation involving an unnamed sheriff’s department and at least one FBI agent. Nichols talks on the phone with would-be child predators, stammering and squeaking, pretending to be a preteen. At other times, she plays a junkie mother desperate to pimp out her children. That operation leads to the arrests of ...

He was so cute when I first met him. I liked his vibe.” She continued: “We had to go pick up my child from school. He met my son that same day. He was very talkative, handsome.” And that’s not all — Joanna goes on to say she had Aaron did some “freaky things” ...

The X-Files Animated Comedy Show in the Works at Fox
Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are two of the all-time best detectives in the supernatural TV game, but there’s some cases in The X-Files world too weird for the duo to tackle — or at least that’s what executives have dreamed up.

Reunion Update: Are Juliette And Sam Still Siesta Key ‘Official’?
Kelsey may have screamed, “You don’t f*cking like Sam” at Juliette during the Siesta Key finale, but the “new kingdom” is still going strong. Following the season finale — where Juliette and Sam made it “official” and then had an “insane” Valentine’s Day with one very lavish present (aka a Cartier diamond watch) — Juliette dished about where she stands with Sam right now. “It’s going so good — he met my parents last night!” she gushed to the gang, who gathered virtually at the first-ever SK reunion. “They loved him.” So could the two begin cohabitating anytime soon? “I won’t officially move in with someone until I’m engaged,” Juliette asserted, after Chloe ins...
