Month: June 2021

On Tuesday, Paramount+ released the official trailer to its iCarly reboot. The trailer shows original stars Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress reuniting to create new online content, with Laci Mosley and Jaidyn Triplett also joining the cast.

iCarly ran for five seasons from 2007 – 2012 on Nickelodeon, and featured Cosgrove as Carly, a teenage girl who hosts her own web series.  However in 2021, Carly returns to a world where social media influencers are more prolific than web series creators. The trailer clips show Carly discussing Instagram filters and curating her social media appearance.

The new series will premiere on June 17th with three new episodes. Additional new episodes will premiere weekly on Thursdays.

Taylor Swift is the latest star to join the cast of David O. Russell’s upcoming movie. Little is known about the secretive project, but more and more A-listers have been added to the cast of Russell’s period film.

31-year-old Swift is just the most recent big-name addition to the film, joining Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, Rami Malek, John David Washington, Zoe Saldana, Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Robert De Niro, Michael Shannon, Timothy Olyphant, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts and Alessandro Nivola.

Russell’s last film was the 2015 biographical drama “Joy,” starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro.

Swift last appeared on screen in the 2019 live-action adaptation of the stage musical “Cats” as Bombalurina, a feline femme fatale. She also starred in two 2020 documentaries, Netflix’s take on her life, “Miss Americana,” and “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions,” which she both directed and produced.

NSYNC alum Lance Bass and husband, artist Michael Turchin, announced they are expecting twins this fall. The couple, who were married in 2014, shared that their boy/girl twins are due late October 2021.

Bass, 42, told People magazine that the couple’s four-year journey to parenthood was difficult, saying: “When we went into IVF and surrogacy, we had no idea what it was all about. Pretty much everyone we’ve known had bad luck at the beginning. The first time they tried it, it just did not work.” Turchin, 34, added that the pair initially went through nine different egg donors, all of whom didn’t work out for various reasons.

The couple knew they’ve wanted twins early in the relationship, meaning each child would share DNA with one parent.  Said Michael: “When we did the egg retrieval, he fertilized half, I fertilized half. And luckily, they all turned out great.”  Lance added, “We took the two healthiest embryos, and put them in, and it perfectly fit with our plans.”
