One need only glance at the leading men and women of any given era to see Hollywood's perennial beauty standards. Most actors will know the pressure of keeping fit and aesthetic, especially after the mainstreaming of gym and fitness culture in the late 20th century. Take Superman, for example. Christopher Reeve was a tall and athletic man, but compared to Henry Cavill's cast iron physique, his rangy costume looks slightly pedestrian. It's not all about "looking good," of course. Some actors have drastically changed their bodies to better portray their characters, such as Robert De Niro in "Raging Bull," Christian Bale in "The Machinist," Matthew McConaughey in "Dallas Buyers Club," and Tom Hanks in "Cast Away."
Still, "looking good" is a prerequisite for many actors, and they often must obey the wishes of producers, directors, and casting managers, who are known to ask for weight loss, dental work, and even plastic surgery.

Celebrity bookworm Elizabeth Banks is bringing back her book club — but this time, it’s entirely fiction. The Cocaine Bear director has relaunched her reading circle as a shameless gateway to her canned wine brand, Archer Roose.
“If you’re a female famous person and you don’t have a book club, are you actually famous? No, of course not! That’s why I’m proud to announce the Elizabeth Banks Book Club,” the Hunger Games star exclaims in a new ad. “Let’s embark on this journey together, maybe learn a little something along the way. That’s what book clubs are for, they’re certainly not to sell your wine.”

Aidy Bryant is a name that most people associate with her tenure as a cast member on Saturday Night Live. However, her success extends far beyond that. She is an accomplished actor, comedian, and writer who has managed to carve out a successful career for herself. Sadly, as a plus-size woman, Bryant represents a group of performers who are often overlooked in Hollywood. The actor created her own show after being offered offensive roles.

Like most people, I have a great reverence for Brendan Fraser. I have no qualms admitting "Encino Man" is one of my earliest comfort films, as is "Airheads," and I'm a staunch defender of his performance in Henry Selick's "Monkeybone." Yes, I too would also "honk if I'd rather be watching the 1999 cinematic masterpiece 'The Mummy' starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz," upon seeing the viral SuperYaki bumper sticker in the wild, but I can also sing the dolphin song from "Bedazzled" by heart. Brendan Fraser is a performer I have loved for so long I cannot remember when he wasn't one of my favorite actors. Knowing that this multi-faceted performer has won the Oscar for Best Actor feels like something worth celebrating with the same intensity as watching the underdog team win the Super Bowl, but Fraser's win comes wrapped in the violent, grotesque embrace of Darren Aronofsky's "The Whale.

Which bit of Love Actually disturbs you the most? For me, personally, it’s when Kris Marshall’s character is about to board a plane to find some hot American chicks to bang, and he bellows, “Here comes Colin Frissell… and he’s got a bigggg knobbbb.” Obviously if I saw the man from My Family shouting that at an airport, it would ruin not just my holiday but my entire Christmas. But what’s bothering me more about Love Actually, actually, is the way that bashing Richard Curtis’s Now 45 compilation of a Christmas film has become an annual sport. At this time of year, the takes really are all around. People declare this fluffy film problematic. Anti-feminist. Practically the anti-Christ. Earlier this week, Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 show even had a segment that explored the film’s “red flags” and asked if we should stop watching it all together.

[Editor’s Note: Representatives from HBO Max have requested a spoiler warning be attached to this review, which covers the first four episodes of “And Just Like That.” However, actual spoilers — including the end of the first episode — will not be revealed here.]
“And Just Like That…” is quite a thing to behold.
The “Sex and the City” revival — under a new name because (officially) it’s now an HBO Max original series, and (unofficially) because the classic foursome is now a threesome, sans Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones — may be the 2021 series that breaks us or brings us together. It’s not good, per se, but it offers plenty to talk about and has moments, big and small, that resonate. The core premise helps justify a return to “Satc,” which is a relief after the forced, frivolous nature of “Sex and the City 2.” But whether or not Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon...

Exclusive: CAA has cooked up its latest podcast signing. The agency has signed Dan Pashman, host of food podcast The Sporkful.
Pashman, who is also the creator and star of Cooking Channel’s You’re Eating It Wrong, will work with CAA on new opportunities for himself and The Sporkful in television, publishing and commercial endorsements.
The James Beard Award-winning podcast launched in 2010 and approaches food from many angles, covering culture, identity, history, science and economics. Recent episodes, for instance, have featured the likes of Shrill author Lindy West and have covered topics such as why actors never actually eat in movies.
Pashman took the show on the road in 2019, recording his podcast in front of sold out crowds across the country.
He also launched his first food creation earlier this year with new pasta shape cascatelli, which went viral and sold out within hours. He is also the author...

Having her nonfiction book of essays, “Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman,” turned into a streaming scripted comedy in 2019 checked many boxes for Lindy West. It directly responded to the book’s critique of the lack of visual representation of fat women in the media by making “a piece of representation that’s exactly the thing I’d been missing,” she says, while also fulfilling her dream of writing for television.
West didn’t just hand over her book to television producers for them to adapt; she stepped onto the show as a writer and executive producer, helping to shape the screen version. Historically, it hasn’t been that common for authors to get the opportunity to adapt their own work, but that attitude has been shifting in an industry claiming to be keen on authenticity in its storytelling.

Shrill this season closed out the story of Annie Easton celebrating her imperfect road to self-acceptance and teasing new paths for the ambitious journalist and her loved ones. The Hulu original comedy’s series finale is the subject of Deadline’s latest It Starts on the Page, which spotlights award-season scripts.
Created by showrunners Aidy Bryant, Lindy West and Ali Rushfield, Shrill series takes inspiration from West’s Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman. Over the course of its three-season run, the show centered on Aidy’s Annie as she navigates romance, her career and self-love.
In the last chapter, things seems to be looking up for both Annie and best friend Fran (Lolly Adefope). The two buddies, who have been together since their college days, get more settled in their relationships and find more stability and courage in their professional lives. However, when Annie oversteps her boundaries with boyfriend...

When E.R. Fightmaster first read the scripts for Season 3 of “Shrill,” they were delighted to see their character’s pronouns had been changed — and with very little fanfare. After a brief stint on Season 2, Fightmaster impressed their way into a substantial recurring role as Em after displaying great chemistry with Fran (Lolly Adefope). Fran is the snarky best friend and perennial roommate of Aidy Bryant’s Annie, the show’s intrepid and cheerful main character, who is based on co-creator and co-writer Lindy West. As Fran’s dreamy new love interest, Fightmaster instantly became “Shrill” family.
With nary a comment from the writers, either behind the scenes or onscreen, the character’s name had changed from Emily to Em, and everyone on the show easily transitioned to using they/them pronouns.
If only it were that easy in real life, Fightmaster mused during a recent phone interview. “It’s...

Shrill closed out its third and final chapter taking a cue from the late, great Whitney Houston as it celebrated the “greatest love of all.” On Friday Hulu dropped all the latest episodes for the original series created by Aidy Bryant, Lindy West and Ali Rushfield, picking right up from Annie’s (Bryant) season two breakup with Ryan (Luka Jones), her undeserving ex-turned-colleague.
Annie has a new lease on life, diving back in to the world of odd hook-ups and cursing out biased medical professionals. From developing her relationship with friendly editorial designer Nick (Anthony Oberbeck) to taking on an ambitious profile for the Weekly Thorn, Shrill season 3 sees its protagonist unapologetically taking charge of her life after years of uncertain politesse and passivity.

Though Marvel has decided to consolidate all of its cinematic universe offerings onto Disney+, some outliers still live on for other streaming services. In May 2021, Hulu is set to premiere the latest non-canon Marvel series.
The animated comedy Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. is set to premiere on May 21 and stars Patton Oswalt as the titular Marvel villain. Oswalt’s Modok is every bit the devious floating head that he’s depicted as in the comics. He’s also your every day family man and the show will take on the format of a workplace sitcom. Sounds kinda fun! It’s no wonder that M.O.D.O.K. is the last Hulu Marvel show standing.

Annie Easton’s journey comes to a close Hulu’s Shrill ends in May with its third and final season. But as bittersweet as ending the series about self-discovery may be, star and executive producer Aidy Bryant said her character’s journey culminates in a satisfying coda.
“I think what you come away with is the battle with self-hatred is never over. There’s no cherry on top or no golden prize at the end…in that way I think Annie’s journey comes to a beautiful end,” she said during Hulu’s TCA Winter Press Tour slot on Thursday.
Premiering Friday, May 7, Shrill season three finds Annie (Bryant) energized by her breakup with dud boyfriend Ryan (Luka Jones) and her newfound momentum at work. Annie feels like everything is finally falling into place for her, but does she actually know how to get what she wants?

When the third and final season of “Shrill” launches with all episodes streaming May 7 on Hulu, it will be a season of growth for Annie (Aidy Bryant), who sets out into the dating world while also juggling a blossoming writing career. But, while Bryant tells Variety she feels like the three seasons of the half-hour comedy that was inspired by Lindy West’s 2016 memoir “Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman” serve as a “beginning, middle and end” to the show, Annie’s story — and ability to grow — doesn’t truly end when the series finale fades to black.
“Annie ends up in a place where hopefully a lot of people end up if they have a reckoning with their own self-hatred and those kinds of things, where it’s like, ‘Ok I have a better handle on this when it started. Does it still rear its ugly head and punch me in the face sometimes?...

Here is a wrap up of all the news you need to know from Thursday, January 28.
ABC's Big Sky is expanding its cast.
Deadline is reporting that the freshman hit is adding a powerful new family as Big Sky Season 1 progresses.
Michelle Forbes, Britt Robertson, Michael Raymond-James, Ryan Dorsey, and Omar Metwally have all been added in recurring guest roles.
The outlet states that Forbes, Robertson, Raymond James, and Dorsey will all be playing family members, while Metwally is on board as a U.S. Marshall.
Since its debut in November, the series has been a decent performer for ABC and recently snagged a six-episode backorder.
The ratings have been solid, and it was steady after a six-week hiatus, which does bode well for its future.
Now that the initial mystery is wrapping up, all eyes will be on the next storyline to see whether it can keep up the pace.

Shrill is gearing up for its third and final season. Annie (Aidy Bryant) will be wrapping up her story when the Hulu comedy comes back this spring, but if the vibes at the end of the season two finale were any indication, she's in for some great things. When last we saw the somewhat humiliated Annie, she had dumped her boyfriend Ryan (Luka Jones) after he spilled the beans about their workplace hookup. Now, she's free to date someone else, like, for instance, Lamar (Akemnji Ndifornyen). There's at least got to be somebody better for her to end up with than Ryan. Bryant, who co-created the series with Alexandra Rushfield and author Lindy West, spoke about the end of the...

Behind her, the cast and crew of “Shrill” Season 2 are shooting Episode 6, which sees Annie Easton (played by fellow executive producer and writer Aidy Bryant) reporting on a lavish convention meant to support women in business.
Titled Waham for “Women Are Having A Moment,” light streams through the glass walls, ceilings, and walkways as guests enter the open space, lush with indoor plants. Hanging pink banners with white lettering proclaim, “Women are here!” and “Women are now!” Vendors tout “beautiful and powerful” products from female-led small businesses. Bathroom stalls are emblazoned with the hashtag “#TakeThisMoment.”
But for its lush setting and well-branded positivity, the convention isn’t all that it seems. What’s made to look like a celebration of working women is quickly exposed as a way to monetize feminism. Entry fees run upward of $300 per person.

Aidy Bryant admits that she does think about the day when she’ll say goodbye to “Saturday Night Live.” “I sometimes see these new people, and I’m like, ‘I want to make room for them,’” Bryant, who has been with “SNL” since 2012, says on Thursday’s episode of the Variety and iHeart podcast “The Big Ticket.” “But I’m still having so much fun there, and I still feel challenged there, and it’s my home. It’s truly where I started. When I got hired, I had never been on camera in any form.”
While she’s racked up a slew of television and film credits since then, Bryant became a leading actor for the first time in Hulu’s “Shrill” as Annie, an aspiring writer at an alternative newspaper in Seattle who’s juggling work, romance, friends and her parents. The series, based on Lindy West’s...

“I think I was just super, super excited to get a chance to do it all again,” exclaims Aidy Bryant about the second season of “Shrill.” The Hulu comedy which stars Bryant as Annie, a young journalist finding her way in life and love, aired its second season in early 2020 and has already been renewed for a third. In our exclusive video interview (watch above) the two-time Emmy nominee for her work on “Saturday Night Live” explains how she juggles the roles of actor, writer and executive producer of the series.
“It’s funny because some days I feel most comfortable as an actor; other days I feel most comfortable as a producer,” Bryant says. “Other days I’m like ‘Uh! I wish I was writing.’ But I also feel like I’m always learning.” The actress says that she’s learned the most about producing. “Even at ‘SNL’ we...
