We all have a celebrity couple we not-so-secretly wish would happen. And more often than not, that's because we've seen the two would-be lovebirds acting out a gorgeous love story onscreen. Naturally, we assume the actors met on set and fell in love, and that's why the story was so realistic — right? With stars like Kelly Preston and John Travolta , Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, there's no denying that some stars got together by working together, and that means we'll never stop rooting for our favorite movie couples to do the same. Of course, we're not saying that every beloved on-screen couple has a set of actors lusting for each other behind it. Outlander's Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan have denied rumors for years that their TV chemistry points to anything more, for example. And A Star Is Born's Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper faced an almost feverish fandom theorizing about their romance — despite the fact t...

Burt Reynolds poses with Jim Nabors and Hal Needham during the filming of Stroker Ace - hulton Hal Needham was born to be a stuntman . He was taking "crazy" risks as a teenager, long before he was leaping from planes, jumping from high-rise buildings and crashing burning cars in a screen career that would span 310 movies and 4,500 television episodes. In the late 1940s Needham began working as a tree-topper, scaling and pruning giant sugar maples in Arkansas. "I was always pushing the limits, going as far as I could. I would do all kinds of crazy things," he once said. "They used to call me Squirrel, because I would get on the top of the tree, take off my harness and hang by my toes on a branch 50 feet up in the air." His collaborations with friend Burt Reynolds , with whom he made two Smokey and the Bandit films, Hooper, two Cannonball Run movies and Stroker Ace, are the stuff of cinema legend. In Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Holly...

Taking the stand Thursday for now the third day this week, former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker provided testimony to form a road map for New York prosecutors' case against former President Donald Trump . From detailing business invoice practices to establishing how deeply Trump was involved from beginning to end, lawyers for the Manhattan district attorney's office had Pecker walk the jury through much of the events that occurred leading up to and after the payments to Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an affair she alleges she had with Trump. Sprinkled in the testimony were juicy celebrity gossip tidbits and revelations about Trump's repeated inquiries about a Playboy model who also claimed to have had an affair with him. And after hours of dishing new details, the defense tried Thursday to paint Pecker as suffering from memory lapses and operating for his own motives. Here's what you missed on Day 7 of Trump's hush money trial: Peck...

LOS ANGELES — Zendaya, clad in a skintight dress, gyrates on a dance floor in " Challengers ," a $56 million sports drama that arrived in multiplexes Friday. "It's getting hot in here," the hip-hop soundtrack intones, as she closes her eyes and runs her hands through her hair, lost in fantasy. "So take off all your clothes." The story continues at a motel, where Zendaya, playing a tennis prodigy, begins a menage a trois with two guys; it fizzles after they become more interested in each other. The plot moves on — to sultry interplay on the hood of a car, in a dorm room, in the back seat of a car, on the wooden slats of a saun a. There is erotic churro eating.

By not providing content for Black audiences specifically, Hollywood has lost a reported $10 billion. Over the last four years, McKinsey & Company has produced three separate reports indicating that Hollywood has effectively lost $30 billion by not engaging in diversified business solutions. The failure of Hollywood to engage Black, Latinx, and Asian-American/Pacific Islander communities through various means has respectively cost the film industry $10 billion, $12-$18 billion, and $2-$4.4 billion.  As the Hollywood Reporter reports, there is a significant disparity in the Asian-American/Pacific Islander representation in Hollywood. The Asian portion of the designation  received the bulk of the representation . At the same time, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders were left to be represented by five men, most notably Jason Momoa and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.  In April's report, the McKinsey Company's authors note that companies are lea...
