Rodrigo's been making a celebration of her sophomore album's arrival, kicking off its release day with a surprise music video for "All-American B*tch." A few days later, on Sept. 12, she performed "Guts" songs "Vampire" and "Get Him Back!" at the 2023 MTV VMAs, also releasing a visual for the latter that same day.

“Peace over pleasure,” Olivia Rodrigo told me one night in Los Angeles while serving herself a steamy, heaping plate of spaghetti and meatballs. “That’s my saying.” Getting to hear casual truth-bombs like this is part of the joy that comes from spending time with the wisest 20-year-old in pop, and for our October cover story, we spent quite a lot of it.
Naturally, a lot of delightful randomness landed on the cutting-room floor. Rodrigo talked about how, when she was a newborn, her parents would put her on the...

Seeing Olivia Rodrigo isn’t such a bad idea for Tate McRae, who dubs the Guts hitmaker her Bff.
“We’re just like best friends. She’s like one of my closest friends in L.A., So, um, we just chill. Hang out.”
The multi-platinum Canadian singer-songwriter — who recently starred in Rodrigo’s music video for “bad idea right?” — said the two love to hang out together when their busy schedules aren’t keeping them apart.
“We’re just like best friends. She’s one of my closest friends in L.A.,” McRae told Et Canada’s Carlos Bustamante about Rodrigo and making a cameo in her music video. “We just chill. Hang out.”

Is it wise to meet up with your ex? Olivia Rodrigo tackles this very topic in her latest single, “Bad Idea Right?”
Written with her producer Daniel Nigro, the sugary headbanger wastes no time getting to the point, kicking off with the lines: “Haven’t heard from you in a couple of months/But I’m out right now and I’m all fucked up.” She goes through a whirlwind of emotions as she playfully paints the scene over thundering drums: “I only see him as a friend/I just...

Douglas Booth, Alison Pill and Iris Apatow have joined an adaptation of the Johann Wolfgang von Goethe classic “The Sorrows of Young Werther.”
The film, simply titled “Young Werther,” is produced by Toronto-based film and TV outfit Wildling Pictures, which describes the project as a modern retelling of the book.
Booth (“That Dirty Black Bag”) and Pill (“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”) will take lead roles, with Apatow (“The Bubble”) also set to star along Patrick J. Adams (“Suits”). Production will begin this month in Toronto.
Drawing from Goethe’s passionate personal accounts, which were first published in letter form in 1774, “Young Werther” is the story of a charmingly irresponsible and enthusiastic young man named Werther (Booth) who finds himself at the mercy of Charlotte (Pill), whose allure and commitment to her impressive fiancé Albert turns Werther’s life upside down.

The front row VIPs included Kristen Stewart, Lil Nas X, Margot Robbie, Riley Keough, H.E.R., Leslie Mann, Iris Apatow, Margaret Qualley, Paris Hilton, Lisa Rinna, Elle Fanning, Rose Byrne, Kim Petras and Halsey, among others.

Before the fashion show kicked off, food trucks offered guests pizza, tacos, dumplings, ice cream and champagne. Nile Rodgers posed with rollerskating entertainers and Kris Jenner agreed to several selfies.

Chanel took over Paramount Pictures Studios Tuesday night — bringing their signature tweed to Tinseltown for the French fashion house’s highly anticipated Cruise 2023/2024 show in Los Angeles.
The night attracted stars Kristen Stewart, Marion Cotillard, and Margot Robbie, who are Chanel ambassadors, in addition to Issa Rae, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rashida Jones, Paris Hilton, Camila Morrone, Kris Jenner, Rose Byrne, Lil Nas X, and a slew of others. With Hollywood in the midst of a writer’s strike, there’d been some confusion over protocol as to what constitutes crossing a picket line. However, the location — which was booked many months ago — was ultimately deemed neutral territory since Paramount wasn’t a sponsor or involved in any way with the event’s production.
An A-list star told The Hollywood Reporter that they were waiting to hear up until the last minute if it was okay to attend. While picketers weren’t present,...

The Grainges are showing off their newlywed glow. Just a few days after returning from their honeymoon in the Maldives, Sofia Richie Grainge and husband Elliot Grainge stepped out for the Chanel cruise fashion show in Los Angeles on May 9, marking one of their first public appearances since tying the knot last month. The pair arrived hand in hand to the event at Paramount Studios and posed together in front of an illuminated photo backdrop. Sofia channeled her signature classic style in a bridal-white tweed set lined with pink feathers, while Elliot complemented her look in a relaxed navy suit, an off-white sweater, and sneakers.
Sofia shared plenty of social media footage from the fashion presentation, including Instagram Stories of models showcasing the new California-inspired collection. "Still in Chanel," she captioned a photo carousel of her outfit, referencing the fact that she wore not one but three wedding dresses by the luxury fashion house.

Leslie Mann and Iris Apatow turned the 2024 Chanel cruise show into a mother-daughter date night. On May 9, Mann and Apatow attended the fashion brand's latest resortwear presentation in Los Angeles, wearing Chanel outfits and matching red lipstick for the occasion. Standing side by side on the red carpet, the duo looked almost identical in their coordinated ensembles. Like Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson or Reese Witherspoon and Ava Phillippe, Mann and Apatow's lookalike status is worthy of a double take.
As they modeled for the camera, the duo also struck similar poses, highlighting their uncanny resemblance. Even with invisible eyebrows, Apatow was undeniably her mother's doppelgänger. For years, the comparisons have poured in, following the stars across every joint red carpet appearance. Still, time continues to reveal even more striking similarities between the mother-daughter duo, including a shared appreciation for designer fashion, apparently.

The independent film business is again showing signs of rude health as the global film industry struggles to recover post-pandemic. Sundance is often taken as the pace-setter, and distribution deals were plentiful this year, with seven- and eight-figure sales for the likes of Theater Camp (to Searchlight for an estimated 8 million), Flora and Son (Apple TV+, 20 million) and Fair Play (Netflix, 20 million), just the biggest of around a dozen 2023 Park City pickups. But Berlin’s European Film Market will be the industry’s true acid test.
“Sundance is more U.S.-focused in general,” says Alice Laffillé, vp sales at FilmNation, which did the Apple TV+ deal for Flora and Son. “There are always some big, splashy deals with streamers and U.S. buyers like Neon, A24 or Magnolia. Berlin is the first real international market, where we see where things stand.”

Ballet has captivated audiences for centuries — there's something effortlessly elegant about it. In a surprise to no one, stories revolving around ballet make for intriguing movies. It's a world we know so little about — where there's always a mile to go, a bigger goal to accomplish.
In recent times, most films centered on ballerinas tend to include themes about achieving greatness while navigating jealousy in a cutthroat industry where attaining perfection isn't a need; it is a necessity. There's already an exciting take coming out in the form of the "John Wick" spin-off starring Ana de Armas, in which the actress plays a dancer-assassin who sets out to exact revenge for her family — and there's another, totally-unrelated, action-thriller flick also centered on ballerinas being helmed by Vicky Jewson (The Witcher: Blood Origin) from a script by Kate Freund.
It's called "Ballerina Overdrive" and it features one hell of a cast.

From Gunpowder Milkshake to Ballerina Overdrive, Lena Headey sure does know how to pick projects with awesome titles. Deadline just announced the latter action-thriller today, which also features Yara Shahidi (Grown-ish), Isabela Merced (Father of the Bride), Lana Condor (Moonshot), Millicent Simmonds (A Quiet Place) and Iris Apatow (The Bubble).
David Leitch is producing Ballerina Overdrive, which oddly enough seems to have nothing to do with Ballerina, the upcoming John Wick spinoff.
In Ballerina Overdrive, “A troupe of ballerinas find themselves fighting for survival as they attempt to escape from a remote inn after their bus breaks down on the way to a competition.”
The film is said to feature “dance-based action choreography,” and it’s being launched at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin by Vincent Maraval and Kim Fox’s The Veterans for international and CAA Media Finance for domestic.

Judd and Iris Apatow turned the Los Angeles Lakers game into a father-daughter night out. On Jan. 4, the duo sat courtside during a game versus the Miami Heat at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles. Judd is known for being a big fan of the Lakers and often attends games, but it looked like a special night out with his daughter, thanks to the home team win.
This sporty moment was just between Judd and his youngest daughter, but it's not uncommon to see him and Leslie Mann, his wife of over 20 years, joined by their children Maude, 25, and Iris, 20, for public events. The family has been attending red carpet outings together since the girls were young.
While their family seems to value quality time together, the young actors also value their independence. In March 2022, the 20-year-old actor opened up about living with her best friend, Olivia Rodrigo in their first apartment as adults.

There's a colossal difference between staging a stunt on location versus in a studio or backlot. Whether you're orchestrating a large explosion on a busy city street or dangling your actor off the side of an exceptionally tall building — it's important to be mindful of the public. There are plenty of anecdotes about people (unaware a movie is being filmed nearby) earning a frightful surprise when the stunt is finally executed.
After all, a simulated explosion probably still sounds and feels like a real one to the neighbors. But it's not just blockbuster action movies that might have such a problem confusing or terrifying the public. Turns out that even off-kilter romantic comedies like "George of the Jungle" can stage the kind of stunts that trigger breaking news segments. And that's exactly what happened while filming in San Francisco on the famed Bay Bridge for one of the movie's more climactic scenes.

Judd Apatow may be quite the successful director, producer, and screenwriter in Hollywood, but that doesn’t seem to faze his daughter Maude Apatow when it comes to taking her father’s advice.
Earlier this week, the famous father of two attended the red carpet premiere for his new film “Bros”, out now, where he was asked about what kind of advice he gives Maude, 24, or if the “Euphoria” star has ever approached him herself.

“No advice. She doesn’t ask for it,” Judd, 54, told E! News. “I’m giving it constantly and then it’s just ignored — and then she succeeds and that makes me think, ‘I guess the advice was just unnecessary.'”
When asked what kind of advice Maude’s been ignoring, the comedian replied, “Pack a lunch. You’re going to get hungry.

Maude Apatow has responded to the internet labelling her a “nepotism baby”.
The 24-year-old Euphoria star is the eldest daughter of famed movie director Judd Apatow and actor Leslie Mann and has appeared in multiple of Judd’s films – his 2007 romcom Knocked Up marked her first on-screen credit.
Speaking with Net-a-Porter in a recent interview, Apatow explained that “at first I was sad”, when she learned about the criticism.
“I try not to let it get to me because I obviously understand that I’m in such a lucky position,” she added.
“A lot of people [in a similar position] have proven themselves over the years, so I’ve got to keep going and make good work,” Apatow continued.
“It’s so early in my career, I don’t have much to show yet, but hopefully one day I’ll be really proud of the stuff I’ve done by myself.”
