The Amazon Prime Video series “The Summer I Turned Pretty” has made a splash with its loaded soundtrack. By now it is safe to say that “The Summer I Turned Pretty” and Taylor Swift go hand in hand because author and show creator Jenny Han has made it so.

The first season had five Swift songs ranging from her “Lover” album to “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” and the Season 1 trailer debuted “This Love (Taylor’s Version)” from the yet-to-be-released re-recorded “1989.” Season 2’s teaser was set to “August,” and then the official trailer debuted “Back to December (Taylor’s Version)” shortly before “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” was released July 7. Only time will tell if Season 2 ties Season 1 for how many Taylor Swift songs it contains.

The sequel season’s summer-y soundtrack also contains hits from repeat artists Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler the Creator, Caroline Polachek and more. A Fleetwood Mac ballad punctuates a particularly emotional scene,...

Superman is on the lookout for Lex Luthor. Even though the criminal mastermind only appears in public under one of his many wigs, Superman knows that Lex Luthor is bald. So when he sees a hairless man on the street, Superman accosts the pedestrian only to see not Gene Hackman’s menacing smile, but detective/lollipop enthusiast Theo Kojak, played by Telly Savalas. Superman pauses for a moment for the audience to roar in laughter when they recognize the popular television character, who pulls out his sucker to utter his famed catchphrase, “Who loves ya, baby!”

Granted, this scene did not make the final version of 1978’s Superman, the start of the first wave of superhero movies, but it was in one of the movie’s later drafts, and while Donner was able to limit the cameos in his movie to low-key appearances by Kirk Alyn...

Dua Lipa and French director Romain Gavras made their official red carpet debut as a couple at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, May 19. The duo attended the debut of the film "Omar la Fraise."

The pair stepped out in coordinating black outfits. Lipa donned a dynamic off-the-shoulder black dress with cutouts that knotted at her waist. Meanwhile, Gavras looked dapper in a classic black suit. The couple looked cozy as they walked the red carpet, posing with their arms around one another and laughing together.

Lipa and Gavras were first spotted leaving a party together in London, in February, according to Entertainment Tonight. The outlet also published photos of the couple holding hands at Saint Laurent's Paris Fashion Week show in March.

Gavras is best known for directing music videos like Kanye West's "No Church in the Wild" and M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls." He also directed the 2022 film "Athena.

Bleecker Street has nabbed North American rights to first-time feature director Andrew Cumming’s Stone Age-set horror thriller The Origin.

The film from Sony Pictures’ Stage 6 had its world premiere at the 2022 BFI London Film Festival and was nominated for five British Independent Film Awards, winning one in the best breakthrough performance category for Safia Oakley-Green (Sherwood, Extraordinary). The script was written by Ruth Greenberg (Run), with Escape Plan Productions’ Oliver Kassman (Saint Maud) producing.

Bleecker Street is planning a fall/winter theatrical release, it unveiled on Tuesday as the Cannes Film Festival market was set to open.

Set more than 45,000 years in the past, the movie tells the story of a gang of early humans who band together in search of a new land. “When they suspect a malevolent, mystical, being is hunting them down, the clan is forced to confront a horrifying danger they never imagined,” according to a plot description.

Donna Summer, born Ladonna Adrian Gaines on December 31, 1948, was an American singer, songwriter, and actress who became known as the “Queen of Disco” during the 1970s. With a powerful voice, incredible stage presence, and timeless hits, Summer quickly rose to fame, leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. Throughout her career, she sold over 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time. In this article, we will take a closer look at the life and career of this iconic disco diva, exploring her early life, rise to stardom, iconic hits, awards and achievements, personal life, philanthropy, and her enduring legacy.

Early life and musical beginnings

Donna Summer was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up in a loving, religious household. Her mother was a schoolteacher, and her father worked as a butcher. Summer was one of seven children, and from a young age, she...

The trailer for Donna Summer: Love to Love You, a new documentary about the late disco legend, focuses on the identity crisis she felt, juggling stardom, motherhood, and just who she wanted to be. “My approach to singing, I approach it as an actress,” she says in an archival interview. “I don’t approach it as a singer. … I’m not trying to be me.” Later in the clip, an interviewee (likely one of Summer’s daughters) says she would learn about Summer’s life through newspaper clippings hidden around the house.

Sometimes, when a documentary has a great subject, it can explore that subject with an intimacy that’s arresting, only to treat other aspects of the story with a kind of cavalier casualness. “Love to Love You Donna Summer” is that kind of documentary. Co-directed by Roger Ross Williams and Brooklyn Sudano (who is Summer’s daughter), it’s full of home movies and photographs and archival footage of Donna Summer, and it creates an eye-opening portrait of the ambitious yet deeply disconsolate woman she was. We see her when she was growing up in Boston, where she sang gospel in church and felt a gift passing through her, knowing that she was going to be famous, or when she moved to Munich in 1968, at 19, to be in the German production of “Hair”, or later on, after she’d become a pop star, at home with her daughters, lost in the empty mirror of fame.

Does Dua Lipa have a new man in her life? On Feb. 28, the "One Kiss" singer was spotted out with French filmmaker and music video director Romain Gavras, as the two were photographed leaving Saint Laurent's Paris Fashion Week show hand-in-hand, per photos published by Entertainment Tonight. Reps for Lipa and Gavras did not immediately respond to Popsugar's requests for comment, but their latest outing comes after they were reportedly seen leaving a London party together last month.

Lipa was last linked to Trevor Noah after the two sparked dating rumors in September 2022. The comedian and former "The Daily Show" host appeared on the singer's "Dua Lipa: At Your Service" podcast amid speculation, but Lipa confirmed that she was single during an October episode.

"For me, this is the first year I've not been in a relationship for a very long time," said Lipa, who previously dated Gigi and Bella Hadid's brother,...

Paramount+’s Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies trailer teases it was their bad girl reputations that brought the first generation of Pink Ladies together. Outcasts at Rydell, the first four Pink Ladies found their power by banding together to form an all-girl gang that’s mission is to rule the school.

The founding four Pink Ladies are Tricia Fukuhara as Nancy Nakagawa, Marisa Davila as Jane Facciano, Cheyenne Wells as Olivia Valdovinos, and Ari Notartomaso as Cynthia Zdunowski. The season one cast also includes Shanel Bailey as Hazel, Madison Thompson as Susan, Johnathan Nieves as Richie, Jason Schmidt as Buddy, Maxwell Whittington-Cooper as Wally, and Jackie Hoffman as Asst.

The 65th Annual Grammy Awards are set to be telecast live, February 5, on CBS, with Beyonce leading the way with nine nominations for her critically acclaimed album, “Renaissance.” While many consider Queen B the clear frontrunner to take the evening’s top prize, Album of the Year, it is worth examining the terrible track record the Grammy Awards have had with women of color.

As main album artists, Black women make up around 10 percent of all Album of the Year nominees in the 64-year history of music’s most prestigious event. Of those nominees, only three women were able to pull off a win (less than five-percent of all winners). So while Beyonce may be leading on our Gold Derby racetrack, I can’t help but wonder if we’ll see a repeat of her 2017 loss for “Lemonade,” where she was heavily favored but still lost to Adele (“25”).

2022 has been, yet again, another fantastic year for Dtv (or more accurately “direct to market”) movies. There have been some great films on VOD, streaming (yes I’m including streaming premieres this year too) and on digital so, as per previous years here on Nerdly, I’ve compiled a list of My personal top 10 of the best direct-to-market titles of the year, be they VOD, streaming or digital downloads. The only criteria is that we’ve covered the film here on Nerdly And I’ve seen the film myself. This list takes in all the films that never made it to cinemas with the list in order of release date not preference, with the month of release listed alongside each film. And man was this list Hard to cut down to just ten films… as it is each and every year!

Prime Video‘s Candy Cane Lane cast is getting sweeter after adding Tracee Ellis Ross to the holiday comedy starring Eddie Murphy. Reginald Hudlin directs from a script by Kelly Younger. The Candy Cane Lane plot remains a mystery. Still, the film is currently in production in Los Angeles. According to reports, Younger based the idea on his childhood holiday experiences.

It was just shy of 20 years ago when a big-voiced girl from Tennessee auditioned for a fledgling singing competition that had quickly taken on a life of its own. Before she knew it, Kimberley Locke was a frontrunner for American Idol’s second season, standing on a stage in Hollywood and belting her heart out before upwards of 30 million people each week.

The months-long competition and subsequent attention were at once a thrill and a blur, and Locke — who finished third — was one of the earliest Idol contestants to parlay...

We recently reviewed Bae Wolf from writer/director David Axe, a filmmaker who got his start in features writing The Theta Girl, from director Christopher Bickel who – unlike Axe – hasn’t followed up that 2017 film with any further features.

Sky’s outgoing director of drama Cameron Roach has launched Rope Ladder Fiction, a Manchester-based independent production company.

The company’s focus will be on providing training and development opportunities to new talent and to create scripted content. It is already working with some of the industry’s most prolific broadcasters and commissioners on a range of projects, with the aim of production commencing in 2022.

Rope Ladder Fiction will also build upon Roach’s first solo project, curating Flip the Script, a training program to provide 12 paid placements for aspiring script editors in the U.K.’s Northwest run by social enterprise Sharp Futures.

The Notebook Primer introduces readers to some of the most important figures, films, genres, and movements in film history.Above: The Great Train RobberyThe western has been around since nearly the advent of cinema. Some of Thomas Edison’s earliest films incorporated standard conventions of the genre, established in preceding works of popular fiction, and other key tropes were solidified in Edwin S. Porter’s pioneering The Great Train Robbery (1903). Primarily originating on the East Coast, American motion picture production soon made its general migration west where the geographic consequences only amplified the form, enticing the likes of producers and directors including Thomas Ince and Cecil B. DeMille. The western swiftly flourished as an exuberant, manifold survey of idealized, often exaggerated themes concerning heroism, progress, and the myth of the American dream. The genre became a beloved compendium of cultural dichotomies, iconic symbols, locations, and character types, evincing countless variations alongside the tried and true.

M.I.A. has more records than the Kgb. She also has a documentary about her life courtesy of director Steve Loveridge, whose account of her life and career premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. Born Maya Arulpragasam, the musician and activist best known for songs like “Paper Planes” and “Bad Girls” has courted acclaim and controversy in nearly equal measure over the last 10 years. Watch the trailer for “Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.” below.

It opens with the ever-catchy hook from “Paper Planes” before showing glimpses of M.I.A.’s earlier, more troubled days as a refugee from the Sri Lankan Civil War. “There’s a genocide going on,” she says at one point in the trailer. “We don’t want to talk about death; we talk about Beverly Hills…You’ve got access to a microphone. Please use it to say something.”

If that’s Donna Summer, then this must be the late 70s and early 80s, the era of disco dancing in the clubs and roller skating at the Roxy. (And let’s not even talk about the fashions.)

But you won’t get much of a sense the times in “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical,” a narrow-minded jukebox musical that views its titular heroine in a vacuum. The great songs are pretty much all here: “Love to Love You Baby,” “White Boys,” “MacArthur Park,” “Heaven Knows,” “Bad Girls,” “She Works Hard for the Money,” “Hot Stuff” and “Last Dance,” to skim a few titles off the top. Lachanze is here, too, and in glorious voice, along with a thin biographical book that hardly does justice to Summer’s life or her music.

There’s no sense of what Summer represented to the boys and girls madly dancing the night away...

NBC’s drama pilot starring Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba, a spinoff from the Bad Boys movie franchise, finally has a title: L.A.’s Finest.

The project follows the Special Agent Syd Burnett character played by Union in 2003’s Bad Boys II movie as she moves to Los Angeles and joins the Lapd. Like often is the case with offshoots from popular franchises that don’t feature the lead characters, the TV series could not carry the Bad Boys moniker.

The TV show represents a female take on the Bad Boys movies — which focused on two partnered Miami Police detectives, played by Martin Lawrence and Will Smith — with two female Lapd detective partners, played by Union and Alba, at the center. Likely for that reason, the spinoff had been unofficially referred to Bad Girls. That name didn’t stick, and NBC already has a drama series called Good Girls,...

The Doctor and Bill have saved the day again and something’s knocking in the vault - but it’s only knocking three times, so it doesn’t constitute a reference. Instead, here’s our weekly list of references, callbacks, tenuous spots and generally interesting waffle from this week’s episode. You’ll have to forgive me if I’ve missed anything - I’m at my sister’s wedding as this episode goes out, and they’ve refused to turn the music off for an hour so we can watch it.

If you had asked me at the beginning of Scandal Season 6 if I thought it would serve as a return to form for the series, I would have probably laughed in your face. 

Scandal Season 6 Episode 12 was another crazy hour that made me realize why I fell in love with the series all those years ago.

Having all of the characters together to take down the enemy was the best move. 

Characters like David, Jake, and Marcus have sat perched on the periphery this season, with nothing to do. A show like Scandal has a lot of key players, so I can understand that it happens sometimes. 

David has never been the most faithful person, so I think he's not the innocent bystander he makes himself out to be with the ladies. He needs to own his shit, and maybe he'll find someone who is not working for the likes of Peus.

Is anyone else getting serious Alison vibes from Addison?

Please don't tell me I was the only one.

On Pretty Little Liars Season 7 Episode 12, Emily was tormented by a school girl who seemed to think she could lie that Emily was inappropriate with her. 

It was a horrible turn of events, and I genuinely felt bad for Emily. She knew she was on thin ice because of A helping her out with the whole college thing. 

That's a secret that will likely come out, but with A still calling the shots, there's no telling when it will. Paige has always been sketchy, but she seemed to be doing Emily a favor tonight. 

As much as she hates Alison with a passion, it's doubtful she would want any harm to come to Emily. I do think Paige should have taken Addison's claims to the principle before even consulting Emily. 

It's understandable...

Was that the best episode of Scandal, like, ever?

On Scandal Season 6 Episode 11, Mellie got her way and became the President of the United States, a mere few scenes after Liz had her skull cracked by Samantha. 

It was great. I wish I could say I was shocked by Liz's death, but the revelation that she was working with Peus sealed her fate.

I did not expect her to go in the first scene with Peus, but I was wondering what Samantha was doing behind her. 

Liz proved earlier on Scandal Season 6 that she was willing to go wherever there was power.

If you watch Scandal online, you will already know that she's been an opportunist all along. 

At least Portia De Rossi can say she got one of the most brutal deaths in Scandal history. 

Elsewhere, the recent events have made Olivia think about all the wrong things she...

Did Olivia Pope make the right decision to press on with the election rigging?

That was a key question on Scandal Season 6 Episode 10 as the series opted to see what the world would have been like for our favorite characters had Fitz not been falsely elected.

Meanwhile, the ugly truth about Vargas' assassination made its way to the media, prompting Olivia to do damage control for someone close to her.

Scandal hit a milestone episode, but what did it mean for our favorite characters?

Changes were afoot on Scandal Season 6 Episode 10 as Olivia pondered how different things would have been if she never agreed to rig the election.

Arguably, the election rigging was instrumental in the series becoming the hit it is today. 

It was an interesting change of pace.

Fitz was an entirely different man. He and Olivia struggled to agree on anything. It's surprising they both even decided to marry each other. 

However, that proposal came out of nowhere, and I definitely thought cold-hearted Olivia was going to appear and just ditch him. It seemed like her instinct was to run from the relationship because it was not working. 

Fitz had no passion for doing anything.

Even his TV show became a chore for him quickly, so it was inevitable that he would envy Olivia when she opened...

Refugees seeking sanctuary. Outcry over fake news. Leaders claiming a desire to make the world great again.

On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Episode 17, there were many moments where it was all too easy to mistake the world of the Framework for our own.

Focused on the importance of resisting an authoritarian regime and full of references to the topics most often in the headlines nowadays, the show's latest arc can easily be read as commentary on the political situation in the United States.

I don't know how much of the Agents of Hydra arc is adapted straight from the comics, or how much was plotted out before the election, but even if all of the similarities are entirely coincidental, the timing has definitely given the storyline extra emotional heft.

Trust is a luxury these days.

Huck lived to fight another day!

That was confirmed on Scandal Season 6 Episode 9 when things took a dangerous turn for the character.

It was bad enough him finding out that Meg was not the woman he thought she was, but pushing him into the water was just horrid. 

It was over-the-top, Scandal has always prided itself in being a series that goes to any lengths necessary to shock the audience. 

Huck has always been an analytical individual, so his thought process while trying to make it out of the dire situation did not surprise me in the slightest.

In the process, it gave him the drive to continue his mission of survival. 

Quinn was a standout character for me.

While Liv seemed to be ordering everyone else around, Quinn was consistently out in the field trying to find a way to save her friend.

How did Daisy and Simmons react to their new normal?

That was a key question on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Episode 16 when the pair were introduced to a new world that had gone mad with power, prompting them to do something unthinkable.

Meanwhile, the other team members decided to take on Hydra once and for all before the world was destroyed. 

However, this caused more trouble for everyone.

Hail Hydra?

On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 4 Episode 16, Daisy and Simmons entered the Framework to find and save their friends. This marked the end of the Lmd story arc and the beginning of a new one – Agents of Hydra.

Just as I thought there was no way Lmd could top Ghost Rider, only to almost immediately be proven wrong, it already looks like Agents of Hydra is going to be a wonderfully wild way to end what has been Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best season. (Let's just hope it isn't the last.)

"What If..." was chock full of emotionally draining moments, plenty of disturbing irony, and some surprisingly prescient references to topics currently of heated political debate in the United States

First thing's first: while my confident prediction of Lmd Ward may not have come true, I wasn't entirely wrong either! Does that mean I get half a prize?

That's right,...

When a TV series you like is canceled, it's a horrible, horrible thing. Even though Prison Break was well past its' prime by the time it was banished to Friday nights and subsequently canceled; it was still one of my favorite shows. 

It had everything I look for in a TV show: Action, tension, and solid acting. I even rewatched the first four seasons earlier this year to prepare me for the big return. 

Unfortunately, Prison Break Season 5 Episode 1 was not the return I was hoping for.

After all these years off the air, I was excited to return to the convoluted world that find Michael Scofield and his family/friends in the most impossible situations. 

If you watch Prison Break online, you probably already knew the story was over and that Michael was dead. It was a dire plot that divided fans when the series signed off back in...

Should Abby be arrested for the part she played in the assassination?

That question was on our minds after Scandal Season 6 Episode 8 found her getting her hands dirty.

Below, TV Fanatics Jim Garner, Jasmine Blu, Sarah Hearon and Christine Hinton discuss the lack of resolution about Huck, Abby taking bullets from the body and more!

Were you annoyed we did not get the resolution of Huck's fate?

Jim: Yes! I don't mind seeing everything for the third time from Abby's point of view, but at least move the story forward to let us know if Huck is alive. Yeesh!

Jasmine: Absolutely. I swear if I have to see Vargas getting shot one more time... Ugh! Just get back to Huck already.

Sarah: Totally agreed! I'm so over watching Vargas get shot. I'll admit it was cool to see things from Abby's point of view, but you can't have an episode...
