Tensions began to rise at the Golden Bachelor mansion this week as the women competed for Gerry‘s heart — literally, with a talent show competition.
Golden Bachelor host Jesse Palmer surprised the women in the mansion by saying that Gerry wanted to see all of them on a group date where they competed in a talent show — eliciting some apprehension among some of the women, including Joan, who didn’t know what to do onstage.
Jesse, along with Bachelor Nation’s Kaitlyn Bristowe, helped Gerry judge the talent show, and despite the women’s nerves, each one wowed the audience.
When it was Joan’s turn, she took the stage and performed an original poem titled, “I Just Hope I Don’t Vomit on Your Shoes.” The sweet poem resonated with everyone, including Gerry, who said that he felt like Joan “was just talking to me and no one else around.”
In the end, Gerry chose Joan as the winner of the romantic date.
On their date, Joan told Gerry that she loved being married and tried to start dating a year after her husband’s death two and a half years ago, but said that she “tried to find it too soon.” Gerry said he was touched by her story and said talking to her felt like “the first step to a very strong connection.”
Gerry’s date with Joan ended with him giving her a rose, but the next day, Joan was forced to leave the competition after learning her daughter just had a baby, but there were complications.
After Joan left, Gerry moved forward with his one-on-one date with Ellen, surprising her with a room full of gowns. The pair then hopped in a limo that took them to a romantic spot with a view of the mountains.
At the very end of their date, they hopped in a hot air balloon, and while up in the air, Gerry gave Ellen a rose.
Ahead of the cocktail party, Kathy opened up about her feelings toward Theresa, who got the first one-on-one date last week. At the mansion, Theresa got into Kathy’s head by telling her about everything that happened between her and Gerry on their date the previous week.
April came to Kathy’s defense with a pointed comment, saying, “If there is an intimate moment with somebody, I think the only way to handle that is with dignity and respect for him and you — keep your mouth shut.”
During the cocktail party, Kathy opened up to Gerry about the tough day she was having. She didn’t name any names, but told him that what he sees in other people may not be as it appears.
Meanwhile in the mansion, Theresa pulled April aside to ask who her comment was directed at. April told her that she should take it up with Kathy, and when Kathy went back into the mansion with a rose, Theresa confronted her privately.
Their conversation eventually brought Theresa to tears. While crying in her room, Gerry found her and tried to console her, telling her to try to “let it go.”
At the rose ceremony, Edith and Kristina went home.
Believe it or not, the Teletubbies sun baby is about to have a baby of her own.
Jess Smith, who was cast as the iconic sun baby from the children’s TV series Teletubbies at only 9 months old, is expecting her first child with her partner, Ricky Latham.
Smith made the announcement in an Instagram post Tuesday. “When two becomes three,” she captioned a photograph of an ultrasound.
Latham made his own Instagram post poking fun at all the press coverage they’ve received, sharing a screenshot of an article announcing their pregnancy.
“I’m famous,” Latham captioned his post. “Got my 15 minutes of fame. I’m accepting interviews.”
Nathan Fielder fans, get ready because he has a new show for you.
The full trailer for the new series The Curse dropped Thursday, and it stars Fielder and Emma Stone as Asher and Whitney Siegel, a married couple working as HGTV house flippers.
From the minds of Benny Safdie and Fielder, the new A24 series will explore “how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple as they try to conceive a child while co-starring in their new home-improvement show,” the official description reads.
While shooting B-roll for their home renovation series, Asher donates $100 to a young girl. When he changes his mind and rips the cash out of the child’s hands, she puts a curse on him.
From that moment on, things get weird.
A montage with unsettling music and footage of arrests, high-speed driving, children running away and fake smiles close out the trailer, which ends with someone offscreen telling Stone’s Whitney, “Everyone will see who you truly are.”
The Curse will stream November 10 on Paramount+ through their Showtime add-on. It premieres November 12 on Showtime.
Timothée Chalamet creates a world of pure imagination in the new trailer for Wonka.
Inspired by Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wonka tells the origin story of the world-class chocolatier Willy Wonka. It arrives in theaters this holiday season on December 15.
This new trailer shows off more from Hugh Grant’s Oompa-Loompa character, who Chalamet’s Willy Wonka describes as the funny little man who has been following him.
“Funny little man? How dare you. I’ll have you know that I am a perfectly respectable size for an Oompa-Loompa,” Grant says.
The trailer also features glimpses from the film’s musical numbers, sharing looks at choreographed sequences where Chalamet will get to show off his dance moves.
We also get our first look at Keegan-Michael Key’s character, who sends Wonka a warning from the rich executives at a competitive candy company.
“Do not sell chocolate in this town!” he says, dunking Wonka’s head in a fountain. “You’re gonna get more than a bonk on the head.”
Olivia Colman also makes a brief appearance in the trailer as do co-stars Sally Hawkins, Rowan Atkinson and Matt Lucas.
Director Paul King is no stranger to making films aimed at families. He helmed the Paddington films alongside collaborators and Wonka producers David Heyman and Alexandra Derbyshire.
According to the film’s official description, “this irresistibly vivid and inventive big screen spectacle will introduce audiences to a young Willy Wonka,” who is determined to change the world and prove “that the best things in life begin with a dream.”
It appears the SAG-AFTRA strike won’t be ending any time soon.
The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) walked away from the bargaining table on Wednesday, October 11, after refusing to counter SAG-AFTRA’s most recent offer.
In a press release from the trade association that represents the studios and streamers, the AMPTP said that negotiations have been suspended because the gap between the two parties is too big.
“After meaningful conversations, it is clear that the gap between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA is too great, and conversations are no longer moving us in a productive direction,” their statement reads.
On Thursday, SAG-AFTRA responded with their own statement, which they posted on their social media accounts.
“It is with profound disappointment that we report the industry CEOs have walked away from the bargaining table after refusing to counter our latest offer. We have negotiated with them in good faith, despite the fact last week they presented an offer that was, shockingly, worth less than they proposed before the strike began,” the statement reads.
SAG-AFTRA says they’ve made meaningful counters on their end, while the AMPTP has rejected their proposals and refused to counter.
“Instead, they use bully tactics,” SAG-AFTRA’s statement reads. “The companies are using the same failed strategy they tried to inflict on the WGA – putting out misleading information in an attempt to fool our members into abandoning our solidarity and putting pressure on our negotiators. But, just like the writers, our members are smarter than that and will not be fooled.”
When Susanna Fogel read The New Yorker short story Cat Person after it took the internet by storm in 2017, she knew it would be adapted into a film one day. She just had no idea she would be the person tasked to direct it.
Cat Person, now playing in limited release and expanding to more theaters Friday, explores the brief relationship between 20-year-old college student Margot and Robert, a man she meets while working at a movie theater.
Fogel told ABC Audio that when she first became attached to the film, she solicited bad date, Cat Person-esque stories from everybody that she had in her contacts.
“I set up an email account,” Fogel continued. “And I just asked people to send anonymously or, you know, that I would disguise their identity, stories that resonated with this.”
She then had the film’s stars, Emilia Jones and Nicholas Braun, read all of the submitted stories as part of their preparation. This helped them craft the more cringe-inducing scenes, including the couple’s first night together.
“It was a challenge, like, how graphic and explicit can I make this sex scene with no nudity in it?” Fogel said. “And I think-slash-hope that I’ve succeeded in making a wildly uncomfortable, explicitly uncomfortable scene that doesn’t exploit anybody in the process. But I took that really seriously.”
Another thing Fogel took seriously? Humanizing both of the main characters.
“It’s my hope that men and women can watch the movie and see both sides, even if they are still completely identifying with Margot and think Robert is toxic or not,” Fogel said. “I want people to see themselves potentially in both of the roles in different moments of their lives.”
