It’s always tricky to say goodbye to things you never wanted to give up in the first place. Anything done on demand makes you annoyed and wanting to punch those responsible for your decisions. So when Netflix cancels a popular original series, fans go furious.
Mixing genres is not easy, but sometimes something really beautiful can come out of this approach. Like it happened with the series called Santa Clarita Diet that premiered in 2017.
The show features two amazing actors Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant as the main couple, Sheila and Joel Hammond. The married couple is from a small city in California, Santa Clarita, and they both are real estate agents.
They live a happy life, but one day something terrible happens that changes everything forever. Sheila started becoming…. a zombie! Now the two of them have to find out a way to keep that a secret, which...

Julia Roberts’ one massive paycheck came from one of her brand endorsements. Ever since Roberts joined Lancôme as the brand ambassador, the French luxury cosmetics house has been a cult favorite of many women. She was originally paid $20 million for her deal with the L’Oréal-owned company, but her payment was upped when the company sealed a five-year deal with the Pretty Woman actress.

Sienna Miller and Ben Affleck starred together in the 2016 film, Live By Night, which the actor himself helmed. He was riding high on the success of his Oscar-winning film Argo, but this next film proved to be a complete disaster. It took years for Affleck to take on another project as a director. Miller may have identified one of the issues which affected the emotional quality of the film. She revealed that she had zero chemistry with Affleck.

When it was released in January of 2001, Richard Kelly's bleak time-travel psychological drama "Donnie Darko" caused a notable stir. The title character, played by Jake Gyllenhaal, is a teen struggling with schizophrenia in 1988, a time when Reagan's great Conservative revolution was drawing to a close and adults clung to suburban conformity as it crumbled under them. Donnie is obsessed with time-travel and regularly hallucinates a vicious, strange anthropomorphic rabbit monster named Frank (all while attempting to socialize at school and foster a romance with a classmate played by Jena Malone). Patrick Swayze appears as a cheesy self-self guru, Drew Barrymore plays one of Donnie's teachers, and Maggie Gyllenhaal plays Donnie's sister.
By turns psychedelic and weirdly moving (in a Goth sort of way), "Donnie Darko" quickly became a cult hit and rotated directly into the local midnight movie circuit, attracting a wide swath of misfits and night people.

A sequel to Happy Gilmore is officially coming to Netflix.
The streamer officially announced Happy Gilmore 2 with Adam Sandler returning in the starring role during its upfront presentation to advertisers on Wednesday.
Released in 1996, Happy Gilmore starred Sandler as a failed hockey player with a power slapshot and massive temper who tries his hand at golf. Nearly three decades later, it remains one of Sandler’s most beloved comic ventures.
Sandler previously expressed interest in making a Happy Gilmore sequel in a 2021. At the time, he floated the possibility of centering the film around a senior golf tournament, but cautioned that nothing had been written.
However, earlier this year, Christopher McDonald, who played Shooter McGavin in the original film, let it slip that Sandler was working on a draft for Happy Gilmore 2. Sandler’s longtime friend and collaborator Drew Barrymore subsequently confirmed (via Sandler himself) that the project was “in process.

Megyn Kelly has become quite a controversial figure over the years. However, there is no denying that she played an important role in the Fox News scandal against the founder, Roger Ailes, during the MeToo movement. This was perfectly depicted in Charlize Theron’s 2019 film, Bombshell. The film was an exceptional success, even winning an Academy Award, and the journalist seemed to agree with this.

However, this sentiment seems to have changed over the years. Not because of the film and its story, but because of something the actress said during the press tour. Kelly recently spoke out about a comment Theron made about her assault that made her very upset.

The MTV Movie & TV Awards are on pause for 2024, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Sources told THR that the show will return next year with a “reimagined” format.
The show last aired in May 2023 amid the Writers Guild of America strike. Host Drew Barrymore dropped out in a show of solidarity with the writers.
The show aired but with numerous pretaped segments and acceptance speeches, clips from upcoming movies and TV shows and previous editions of the MTV Movie & TV Awards. Additionally the show, awards categories and nominees and winners were announced via a voiceover, which initially referred to the event as the “2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards special.”
When Barrymore dropped out, it was announced that she’d agreed to host the 2024 awards. It’s unclear if she’s still attached to host the 2025 installment.

There will be no 2024 MTV Movie & TV Awards. Deadline has confirmed that the awards show is skipping this year. It is expected to return in a reimagined format in 2025.
The news comes after the 2023 edition of the MTV Movie & TV Awards was impacted by the WGA strike and had to pivot away from a live event to a pre-taped show after Drew Barrymore pulled out as host and the writers guild geared up to picket its venue.
Ratings were respectable, which raised the possibility for the MTV Movie & TV Awards to permanently tweak its format.
Traditionally held at the start of the summer blockbuster season, the show launched in 1992 as MTV Movie Awards and was rebranded to include TV categories in 2017.
The MTV Video Music Awards will take place this year as planned.
The news was first reported by TMZ.

The MTV Movie & TV Awards is taking another break. Variety has confirmed that the event, which would have normally taken place around this time of year, will instead sit 2024 out — with an eye toward returning next year, perhaps in a different, “reimagined” format.
It’s been a bumpy decade for the MTV Movie & TV Awards, which first began in 1992 (as the MTV Movie Awards). Last’s year’s event was forced to pivot to a pre-taped clip show in light of the Hollywood writers’ strike, as host Drew Barrymore bowed out and the WGA announced plans to picket the ceremony.
Meanwhile, in 2020, the MTV Movie & TV Awards also didn’t take place, due in part to the Covid-19 pandemic, but also because the network had planned to move the franchise (long a spring/early summer staple) to December. Ultimately, instead of an awards show, MTV ran a “MTV Movie & TV...

Sydney Sweeney is one of the hottest new stars in Hollywood at the moment, and one of her next projects will cast the actress in the role of Barbarella.

The MTV Movie & TV Awards ceremony is being put “on pause” this year, according to a spokesperson, as Billboard reports.
The ceremony aired annually from 1992 to 2019, but it went on hiatus during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. It returned again for its live broadcast format in 2021 and 2022. Then in 2023, the ceremony was derailed by the Writers Guild of America strike.
Last year’s host Drew Barrymore pulled out three days before the ceremony, in the wake of the WGA strike that began five days before the show was set to take place.

Drew Barrymore has been very open about her feelings towards cosmetic surgery. But when she was younger, there was one movie that left her feeling like she’d gone under the knife, anyway.
Drew Barrymore was in excruciating pain doing ‘Big Miracle’ Drew Barrymore | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
In 2012, Barrymore starred in the drama Big Miracle alongside John Krasinski. In the film, the talkshow host played a passionate environmental activist trying to save a group of whales in the arctic. The feature required Barrymore to be exposed to freezing temperatures constantly, which she admitted was difficult to act around.
“The director of this film, Ken Kwapis, he had us in Alaska on this ice flow, we felt like we were working in a snow globe theatre… I got to swim in freezing cold Alaskan waters with harbor seals…It felt like knives going into my body. It was insane,” Barrymore once...

Apart from a general bunch of movies and shows that Netflix replenishes its endless collection with every month, the streaming also seems to have started a trend of paying homage to flicks that this year celebrate their good round figure.
Back in April, Netflix revealed its big plans for releasing several movies that turn 40 years old in 2024, including a sci-fi horror Firestarter with back then 8-year-old Drew Barrymore in the leading role.
The film comes as one of the numerous adaptations of Stephen King’s lavish literary legacy, but the author himself hasn’t been that enthusiastic about the movie ever since it was released back in 1984.
What Is Firestarter About?
Based on the 1980 novel of the same name, Firestarter follows young girl Charlie who starts developing a very unusual talent of setting places on fire using only her mind. The girl’s ability comes as a repercussion of her...

Lindsay Lohan is looking to take on the legacy of Ann-Margret.
After Lohan first voiced her desire to portray the frequent Elvis Presley collaborator in a biopic, Us Weekly reports that Ann-Margret, 83, has agreed to the project and has been spending time with Lohan in preparation for her portrayal. IndieWire has reached out to Lohan’s representatives for comment, but we did not immediately receive a response.
A source told Us Weekly that Lohan “feels she’s the only one who can play the part” of Ann-Margret, and that Lohan “wants to win an Oscar and an Emmy.” Lohan believes the biopic could “take her career to the next level.”
The actress recently has ushered in her “Lohannaissance” via some Netflix movies, which she’s also produced, and is preparing for the long-awaited “Freaky Friday” sequel — it’s in the works with Jamie Lee Curtis. Lohan recently had a cameo...

Despite quite a low score on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie nonetheless had a big win in the box office earning almost $130 million.
Nothing could probably save some movies if it wasn’t for the streaming services that help the previous years’ flops to get a second life among its viewers. Though Adam Sandler’s romcoms didn’t have their best time in the box office and often ended up being a total flop, the actor’s critically failed, yet still iconic movies are definitely having their prime after being released on the platforms.
Following 50 First Dates that got another wave of fame earlier this year, Sandler’s other collaboration with Drew Barrymore is currently dominating Netflix.
Blended was released back in 2014 and marked Sandler and Barrymore’s third collaborative movie after they both starred in the 1998 romcom The Wedding Singer and 2004 movie 50 First Dates. Having quite successful predecessors,...

Kim Godwin hoped to build ABC News’ future by cutting out some of its past.
Tasked, ostensibly, with shaking up a culture of the Disney-backed news organization that pit anchors against one another and led to claims of intolerable behavior behind the scenes, Godwin was supposed to revamp a storied journalism hub without losing any of the impetus that spurred employees to make shows such as “World News Tonight” and “Good Morning America” the most-watched in their category.
But the ABC News president, who was still working Monday after sending out a letter Sunday announcing her retirement following a shaky three-year reign, lost the support of much of the news operation by installing an array of senior executives who proved difficult to work with, while ousting veterans who had the respect of their colleagues. She also moved slowly, often taking weeks to make important decisions about programming and personnel, according...

Paramount Advertising President John Halley was preparing to preside over an upfront pitch to Publicis, one of the four major holding companies in the ad business, when big news crossed the wire.
Bob Bakish was officially out as CEO of Paramount Global. Much of the reason that the 27-year company veteran lost favor with board members and controlling shareholder Shari Redstone had to do with intensifying merger talks, which have also kept Paramount in the headlines. A couple of hours before the Publicis dinner, Paramount capped its newsy day by conducting a 9-minute earnings call and declining to field any questions from Wall Street analysts.
“It’s not my favorite backdrop,” Halley dryly conceded in an interview with Deadline. “I thought, ‘Is this going to derail our messaging?’ And we got into the room and it was very clear immediately that that was background and not foreground. We acknowledged it,...

For the first time this year, CBS did not order any pilots during the traditional pilot season window. And it may not be the last.
“Pilots aren’t dead, I would say pilot season is probably dead for us because why should we be held to that very specific window anymore, nobody else is,” CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach said during the network’s unveiling of its 2024-25 schedule. “We only get so many shots at bat, let’s make sure when we take those swings that the bases are fully loaded for us.”
As Reisenbach revealed in a Q&a with Deadline in January, CBS has switched to a long-term development strategy of making series pickup decisions well in advance to allow for better planning and longer marketing runway. All of CBS’ new scripted series for 2024-25 were locked in by end of January.

CBS is bringing back Hollywood Squares.
The network announced Thursday that the reboot of the classic game show will launch in January, kicking off the midseason broadcast schedule.
Drew Barrymore is set to be the famed “center square” answering questions for the contestants.
Hollywood Squares involves two contestants who play tic-tac-toe to win money and prizes. The “board” for the game is a vertical stack of open-faced cubes, each occupied by a celebrity seated at a desk and facing the contestants. The celebrities are asked questions and the contestants judge the legitimacy of their answers to win the game.
Hollywood Squares is produced by Jesse Collins for Jesse Collins Entertainment and Drew Barrymore and Flower Films.
The original show aired on NBC in the 1960s. The series piloted in 1965 and debuted in its entirety on the same network in 1966.

CBS executives were keenly aware of the elephant in the room Thursday as new co-ceo George Cheeks and entertainment president Amy Reisenbach opened their fall schedule presentation by addressing the latest rumblings in the sale process of parent company Paramount Global.
“It’s a super quiet, uneventful week for us,” Cheeks quipped as he kicked off the hourlong presentation just moments after news broke that Sony and Apollo submitted a $26 billion cash offer to buy Paramount Global.
Other than addressing morale — “we’ve all locked arms” and are “focusing on what we can control,” Cheeks said — both execs spent the press briefing at the Paramount offices in Hollywood focused on CBS and its 2024-25 schedule.
Cheeks and Reisenbach opened with a victory lap of sorts as CBS finished the strikes-impacted 2023-24 in first place, breaking a decades-old record set by the network with 16 straight season victories and 21 of the past 22 years.

Meghan McCain is not a fan of Drew Barrymore’s interviewing style and shared her thoughts about the viral interview with U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris.
On the podcast Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat, the former View co-host reacted to the viral Drew Barrymore Show interview, in which the titular host had the VP as a guest.
McCain said that watching Barrymore interview Harris got her “blood boiling” criticizing the proximity of the host and the vice president.
“I know that’s like Drew Barrymore’s thing but I think someone needs to talk to her, like, not everything is a therapy session and some of this stuff is not appropriate,” McCain said.
The political commentator recalled Barrymore interviewing Oprah Winfrey, where the host was seen “grabbing her hands.” McCain added, “These are people who deserve respect in all ways, including physically respecting their space.”

There is no doubt that everyone saw at least one of Adam Sandler’s comedies, for example, Big Daddy (1999), Click (2006) or Grown Ups (2010). At the same time, the actor’s comedy talent shines even brighter when his movies are added by the romantic aspect, with his romcoms being loved by the audience, but not so recognized by critics.

Drew Barrymore went in a different direction in the ’90s, as the long-time star has now confirmed that she once opted to play Cinderella instead of a porn star. The actress recently shared on an episode of her eponymous talk show “The Drew Barrymore Show” (via The Hollywood Reporter) that she did in fact turn down a role in “Boogie Nights.” Barrymore has long been rumored to have been considered for the Rollergirl part, which later went to Heather Graham.
“It’s so hard when you, like, are thinking of doing a film and then you don’t end up doing it,” Barrymore said. “I have so many of those experiences. I’ve never said this out loud, ‘Boogie Nights.’ There was a moment where we were talking about ‘Boogie Nights’ and I think it’s when I went and did ‘Ever After’ [‘A Cinderella Story’] and I went in a very different direction.
