Abby Lee Miller is speaking out after she wasn’t asked back for Lifetime’s recent Dance Moms reunion.
The former star of the reality series stopped by the Just B with Bethenny Frankel podcast to share her thoughts on being left out of the special.
“I think the kids can’t face me because they know they would never be where they are today if it wasn’t for the show,” Miller dished to the former Real Housewives of New York star.
Dance Moms originally aired from 2011-19 and focused on the Abby Lee Dance Company (Aldc).
The long-running reality TV series charted the competition team as they learned their dance routines and competed nationwide.
“There’s two little girls named Brooke and Paige Hyland who I was very close to, much closer emotionally and family wise than any of the other kids,” Miller recalled.

The idea of artists needing a “career reboot” often has as much to do with the petulant impatience of content-saturated fans than the actual situation of the artist in question. But in the case of Sia, the urgency of a course correction is hard to deny. Sia broke out from the ranks of top-level songwriters-for-hire in 2014 with the self-emptying party-kamikaze ginormity of “Chandelier.” Her 2017 album This is Acting was a concept record of sorts that repurposed songs she’d originally written with singers like Adele and Rihanna in mind, of...

The deal is for roughly $15 million. It is one of a handful of high-profile Sundance movies that are fielding offers from several bidders, including “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story” and “Will & Harper,” a road trip documentary with Will Ferrell and his best friend, Harper Steele.
Amazon MGM is targeting a wide theatrical release for the film in the U.S. and Canada, with international territories still to be determined. Like all of its titles, the ultimate home will be Prime Video.

It’s always a welcome surprise to encounter a fresh face who’s also a natural screen presence, which is very much the case with the captivating Maisy Stella in My Old Ass. Not to undersell the newcomer’s individuality, but I kept getting a crunchy granola version of Clueless-era Alicia Silverstone, which is no faint praise. The fact that Stella is often bouncing off Aubrey Plaza in peerless sardonic form just sweetens the deal. Megan Park’s enjoyable second feature is a warm blend of comedy, romance and whimsical collapsed-time fantasy, albeit grounded in the protagonist’s real world.
Not since Toy Story 3 wielded its power to reduce grown-ass adults to puddles of tears has a movie been so in touch with the tender feelings associated with leaving home and saying a definitive goodbye to childhood, wistfully contemplating what we take with us and what we leave behind.

Elliott (Maisy Stella) is ready for her life to start. The last 18 years? That’s been killing time, practice, kid stuff, and as we meet the teen on her 18th birthday, mere weeks before she’s about to leave her cozy Canadian lakeside community for college in Toronto (read: the real world!), Elliott is hellbent on leaving that stuff behind. In Megan Park’s warm-hearted “My Old Ass,” Elliott is forced to grapple — most unexpectedly, most literally — with the past and the present and the future, and all the iterations of her that will populate those time periods.
First, there are the mushrooms. Elliott and her best pals Ruthie (Maddie Ziegler) and Ro (Kerrice Brooks) ingest the hallucinogens to celebrate that key birthday, an experience that sees Ruthie talking to animals and Ro dancing to music only she can hear… and Elliott? She finds herself. More correctly: her old self finds her.

Also in attendance at the Sundance premiere were Percy‘s co-stars Maddie Ziegler, Maisy Stella, Aubrey Plaza, Maria Dizzia, Seth Isaac Johnson, Kerrice Brooks and Carter Trozzolo, as well as writer and director Megan Park, and producer Tom Ackerly.

Heading into the fest, Megan Park’s sophomore feature My Old Ass was one of the most anticipated of the fest. During its Saturday night premiere at the Eccles Theater, prime real estate as far as the fest goes, it did not disappoint the audience gathered, which gave the coming-of-age comedy a standing ovation.
My Old Ass stars Maisy Stella as Elliot, a teen in a small Canadian town who is in her final month of summer before college when she and her friends imbibe in some ill-begotten shrooms. During her trip, Elliot comes face-to-face with her older self, played by Aubrey Plaza, who gives her words of wisdom and a warning: Don’t fall in love with a boy named Chad.

It takes some time to fall in love with 18-year-old Elliott in “My Old Ass.” As played by Maisy Stella, she’s young and self-involved, so focused on heading off to college in the big city that she’s kind of a jerk to everyone around her (especially her small-town cranberry-farming family). Maybe young adult audiences won’t think so. Canadian actor-turned-auteur Megan Park’s sweetly insightful coming-of-age comedy is intended for them — whereas adults might not have so much patience for the way Stella’s impulsive character takes for granted what are arguably her best years.
Don’t worry, the movie is great, and Elliott eventually grows on you. Besides, her initially off-putting persona is kind of the point of Park’s older-and-wiser second feature, which follows the director’s terrific SXSW-winning debut “The Fallout.” Park plays a magic trick early in the film: Elliott and her besties (Maddie Ziegler...

The title alone was enough to convince Aubrey Plaza to appear in “My Old Ass,” an offbeat coming-of-age story that was warmly received during its premiere Saturday night at the Sundance Film Festival.
“It all just made sense to me,” Plaza told the sold-out crowd at the Eccles Theater in Park City, Utah. “‘My Old Ass,’ I was like, ‘Oh man.'”
And when Plaza spent time with Megan Park, the film’s writer and director, and discovered her affinity for unusual means of transportation, Aubrey knew she had signed on to the perfect project. Park was sporting a life vest during their first Zoom meeting, a sign of her love of all things nautical.
“Megan is the only director I’ve ever worked with who Jet Skis to work,” Plaza said. Park also picked up Plaza in a paddle boat for their initial meeting. “She paddled over me,” Plaza recalled.

Justice Smith’s career has taken him to the forefront of major Hollywood tentpoles such as “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” and “Pokémon: Detective Pikachu,” but it has never taken him to the Sundance Film Festival until now. The 28-year-old actor was one of five honorees at the Variety & Golden Globes Breakthrough Artists Party presented by Adobe, and earning a breakthrough artist award was “a really warm welcome” to the annual Park City event. Smith has two films world premiering at Sundance: A24’s “I Saw the TV Glow” and Focus Features’ “The American Society of Magical Negroes.”
“I have a note in here to ask if this award shows up on my IMDb, because all that is there is a Razzie nomination,” Smith told the audience to much laughter. “So I would really appreciate if that could make it on there. This is the...

The 40th Sundance Film Festival kicks off Thursday in snow-covered Park City, Utah. In the wake of twin strikes and an indie biz still recovering from the Covid pandemic, it’s difficult to read how hungry buyers are for films that are mostly light on starpower and an overtly commercial premise.
For instance, the buzziest title seems to be Love Me, because it stars Kristen Stewart and freshly minted Emmy-winning Beef star Steven Yeun. But it is a completely execution-dependent premise — long after humanity’s extinction, a buoy and a satellite meet online and fall in love. Two fine actors, but neither is a giant theatrical So there could be competition for this one, but buyers will be coming in cold and, as one veteran fest buyer said, “it’s like every other movie here.

Maddie Ziegler, on the heels of her starring role in HBO Max’s teen drama The Fallout, stars opposite Reservation Dogs‘ D’Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai and Schitt’s Creek‘s Emily Hampshire in a new kind of coming-of-age tale, Fitting In.
In this trailer for the semi-autobiographical story based on Grown-ish and Grace and Frankie director Molly McGlynn’s own adolescence, Ziegler portrays Lindy, a 16-year-old who is just like any other teenage girl.

But when her mother Rita (Hampshire) takes her daughter to get birth control, a visit to the gynecologist leads to an unexpected discovery: Lindy has Mrkh syndrome, a rare congenital disorder resulting in an underdeveloped vagina with a small or absent uterus.

Growing up is hard, but growing up with Mrkh syndrome (a rare reproductive condition that causes an underdeveloped uterus) is bloody hell.

"To own who you are is up to you. No one should make you feel ashamed of that..." Elevation Pictures in Canada has debuted the official trailer for an indie coming-of-age comedy titled Fitting In, from filmmaker Molly McGlynn. This first premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film Festival, and also played at the TIFF, Calgary, and Vancouver Film Fests up in Canada this year. A teen girl is diagnosed with a reproductive condition that upends her plans to have a sex life, propelling her to explore unusual methods. Her relationships are also challenged with everyone in her life, but most importantly, herself. A semi-autobiographical feature written and directed by Molly McGlynn (Mary Goes Round), Fitting In stars Maddie Ziegler as Lindy, with Emily Hampshire, Djouliet Amara, D'Pharaoh Woon-a-Tai, and Ki Griffin. This looks fun and authentic, a slightly different sex comedy story about a young woman trying to figure herself out.
