Emmy and Tony Award-winning singer and actress Kristin Chenoweth has signed with UTA for representation in all areas, the agency announced on Tuesday.

Chenoweth is a celebrated figure in the entertainment industry whose career has spanned across film, television, voice-over, music, and theatre. Widely known for her Tony-nominated performance as the original Glinda the Good Witch in “Wicked,” Chenoweth has earned numerous awards for her work in the theatre, including a Tony Award for her role in “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” and earning both an Outer Critics Choice Award and Drama Desk Award for her starring role in “On the Twentieth Century.”

Jennifer Lopez’s $52.4 million erotic thriller was designed to turn heads, but one of her co-stars claimed the attention went too far. He recalled feeling sexualized on set, treated as more of an object than an actor. While the film leaned into steamy storytelling, the atmosphere behind the scenes blurred boundaries in ways he hadn’t expected.

Passing remarks and offhand comments made it clear: his presence wasn’t just about performance; it was about perception.

Sandra Bullock was known for her roles as a bubbly and funny rom-com lead (with a few exceptions) in the ‘90s and 2000s before she had a turn in films like Bird Box and The Unforgivable. The former, especially, created a huge impact on Netflix at the time of release and became the most-watched film on the platform in 28 days.

In many ways, Bullock played against type in the horror-survival film. Directed by Academy Award-winning Dutch filmmaker Susanne Bier, Bird Box subverted several tropes in terms of action-horror films and also the way a female protagonist was often depicted. One specific scene broke a taboo that Hollywood was more accepting of with male action stars.

The guilty pleasure television industry continues to be fed by the always reliable Darren Star! The mastermind behind hits like Beverly Hills, 90210 and its spinoff Melrose Place, Sex and the City, Younger, and the Netflix original series Emily in Paris has an exciting new show developing that was just set up at Peacock. As a bonus, there's a book coming out, too!

On Feb. 19, Deadline revealed that Peacock has snatched a script-to-series commitment for Climbing in Heels, the first new show under Star's new overall deal at Universal Television. Universal snapped up the rights to the debut novel by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas last year, with Star attached, even though the book still hasn't even been published.

Ryan Guzman admitted that he didn’t see himself as an actor until now. The 9-1-1 star reflected on his journey and shared what’s next for his alter-ego, Eddie.

What Will Happen To Eddie?

During the midseason finale, Eddie (Ryan Guzman) expressed an interest in moving to Texas to be with his son. In a new interview with Forbes, Guzman shared his thoughts on Eddie’s storyline and whether it would come to an end. While he loves playing the character, he’s open to Eddie’s journey, wherever it leads him.

“I love the character so much, and it’s been a pleasure playing the character for so long that I could see myself playing for a bit longer,” Guzman exclaimed. “However, if I woke up tomorrow and the character was no longer available to play, I would feel solid in the fact that I did my due diligence with him.

Jennifer Lopez does not have the best reputation in the film industry. Several of her acting performances have been considered abysmal, as she has been a part of some really bad films. Most infamously this includes Gigli, a 2003 Ben Affleck movie that achieved a mere 6% on Rotten Tomatoes. Other Lopez films, such as The Boy Next Door, Feel the Noise, Jack, and The Wedding Planner have also managed to get Tomatometers that are under 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. In critics' eyes, Lopez has had a very rotten streak.

This is not true of every Lopez movie, however, as she has been in some projects that were critical darlings. Her music documentaries are generally fairly well-received, including The Greatest Love Story Never Told, which has a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. The 1998 crime drama Out of Sight got a universally positive 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Lopez's performance in Hustlers was also praised back in 2019, and it got an 88% Tomatometer.

Since then, her career has skyrocketed, having played countless roles both on stage and screen, from originating the role of Glinda in Wicked on Broadway, to guest appearances on TV shows such as Glee.

Judy Garland‘s most iconic role is Dorothy Gale in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939), and her most acclaimed is Esther Blodgett/Vicky Lester in “A Star Is Born” (1954). But this Judy fan of more than 40 years picks “Meet Me in St. Louis” as her favorite. Beautifully filmed in Technicolor, with one of Garland’s best soundtracks, as well as a film that changed the actress’s life in many ways, the Vincente Minnelli-directed Christmas musical film debuted eight decades ago on Nov. 22, 1944, in St. Louis, and had its New York premiere on Nov. 28. Read on for more about the “Meet Me in St. Louis” 80th anniversary.

Based on a series of stories by Sally Benson, “Meet Me in St. Louis” depicts a year in the life of the Smith family through a series of vignettes, from the summer of 1903 until the spring of the following year, culminating at the 1904 World’s Fair in St.

Ben Affleck was never encouraged to become a full-time actor despite deeply admiring the world of arts and theater. The actor’s mother wanted him to become a teacher. Either way, she allowed Ben and his brother Casey to explore the entertainment field.

But when Affleck developed a bond with Matt Damon, things began taking a serious turn. Between the ages of 8-15, Affleck starred in children’s shows produced by PBS and ABC, casting him to play roles in Wanted: A Perfect Man and Hands of a Stranger.

Related Jennifer Lopez Reveals Why Netflix's Atlas Script Made Her Cry

Exclusive: Atlas star Jennifer Lopez explains why she "sobbed" the first time she read the script for the Netflix movie.

When the Jennifer Lopez-led erotic thriller "The Boy Next Door" was released in 2015, it was deemed a commercial success at the box office. However, the Rob Cohen-directed film failed to impress critics, as its on-the-nose camp factor did little to ground the clichéd narrative, despite Lopez delivering a memorable performance to salvage its flimsy premise. Well, it seems as though "The Boy Next Door" has been granted another chance, as the erotic thriller has found its way into the U.S. Netflix Top 10 list over the past few weeks. Given its immense popularity among moviegoers when it was first released in theaters, it is not surprising that audiences appreciate the entertainment quotient and the thrills offered by this twisted tale of obsession.

The Netflix-JLo combination usually works well in terms of audience popularity, as her sci-fi action-thriller "Atlas" also reigned the Netflix Top 10 charts for quite some time...

Jennifer Lopez has had a varied career, taking on rom-coms, fashion, and an Oscar-worthy performance in Hustlers. The Boy Next Door is a nonsensical thriller with exaggerated reactions and a confused message about infidelity consequences. Despite its flaws, the unintentional humor and poor storytelling in The Boy Next Door make it entertaining for certain viewers.

Few celebrities have had the kind of career Jennifer Lopez has. Ever since breaking out in the late '90s with an excellent performance as the title character in Selena and an equally impressive turn in the wildly entertaining Out of Sight, shes become a fashion icon and one of the most prominent Latin celebrities of this generation. On top of being a wildly successful pop star, shes also become one of the go-to rom-com leading ladies while recently delivering an against-type, Oscar-worthy performance in the underrated Hustlers.

Yet, as prominent as she is, theres...

As the biggest streaming service in the world, Netflix is always adding and removing content, some with high review scores and others that failed to wow critics or audiences. Starting tomorrow, those with a Netflix subscription will be able to watch one of the latter, a Jennifer Lopez film that certainly didn't resonate with most who watched it. Netflix officially announced that The Boy Next Door, the 2015 thriller which sees Lopez fall in love with her younger neighbor Noah (Ryan Guzman) before things take a sinister turn, will begin streaming on the platform tomorrow, July 16. The film sits at a dismal rating of 16% from critics and 34% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, which has been something of a trend for Lopez, who has some "rotten" stinkers in her filmography.

On June 4, Aventura - the timeless bachata band that consists of Romeo Santos, Henry Santos, Lenny Santos, and Max Santos - hit the stage at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, as part of their reunion tour Cerrando Ciclos. They had already performed at the venue two nights in a row, as well as played a show at Madison Square Garden on May 23. With an audience filled with mostly Dominicans - many of them proudly waving their flags - it was remarkable to see how a genre that was once associated with the bars and brothels of lower-income neighborhoods in the countryside of the Dominican Republic has become such a global phenomenon. And it was Aventura, a boy band formed by four Dominican teenagers in the 1990s, that would completely revolutionize bachata beyond what any of them could have originally envisioned.

Jennifer Lopez is a multi-faceted personality, having tasted success as a pop singer and actor. Lopez and her partner Ben Affleck are among the most globally popular Hollywood superstars. However, when the duo aren’t busy with their professional commitments, they like to spend time with their family, especially their children.

Critics may pan Jennifer Lopez's movies, but her popularity and star power continue to draw in huge audiences worldwide. Despite mixed reviews, J Lo's films have grossed over $1.3 billion globally, solidifying her as a bankable box office star. Lopez's latest Netflix movie, Atlas, showcased her in a data analyst role navigating a futuristic AI-infused world for a thrilling viewing experience.

Many movies starring Jennifer Lopez are still very popular despite their negative reviews. Lopez has starred in more than 130 movies, television series, documentaries, and music videos, including the recent 2024 action film Atlas. Even though Atlas has an interesting premise based on artificial intelligence in a dystopian future, the film was a critical failure, earning a score of just 16% on Rotten Tomatoes. Atlas was released on May 24, 2024 exclusively on Netflix.

Jennifer Lopez’s recent films in her career have failed to impress fans, with many complaining about the mediocrity of the films she is participating in. Although her performances in her recent films Shotgun Wedding, and The Mother were praised, the films were considered cliche and derivative. Her latest film Atlas may be the weakest film in recent years.

The film has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, with a meager score on Rotten Tomatoes. But it is still far from being her worst as fans will be surprised to know that one of her films with her husband Ben Affleck holds the record for the worst film of her career.

Jennifer Lopez suffers one of the lowest ratings on Rotten Tomatoes with Atlas. Rotten Tomatoes gives Atlas an 8% rating, marking one of Lopez's lowest scores. Despite poor reviews, Atlas expected to perform well on Netflix.

It could be argued that Jennifer Lopez is not having a good week with the constant media speculation that her marriage with actor Ben Affleck is on the rocks. In the midst of this, the actress has been out promoting the sci-fi Netflix action film Atlas, which is a bit of a departure for the rom-com queen. What could help some of the media uproar over her marriage would be the release of a good film, but if the current Rotten Tomatoes score for Atlas is any indication, Lopez may have to look to the next project.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, Atlas has a current rotten rating of 8% on the aggregator site with 25 reviews counted so far.

Before Jennifer Lopez was in the headlines for her problematic marriage with Ben Affleck, she was all over Hollywood for her stardom and fame. The actress made everyone her fan with her infectious charisma and versatile acting, making her fit to portray any role assigned to her. Throughout her career, she has done films like Hustlers, An Unfinished Life, Out of Sight, and many more.

However, her career’s most intriguing film would be The Boy Next Door, where she took on an unlikely role in an indie film that surprised many people. Lopez’s portrayal in the film was captivating as the film developed, filling the story with tension and unseen plot twists. One of the key highlights of the film was the steamy romance, but Ryan Guzman was nervous to do the scene until JLo...

"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and its sequels have been a stepping stone for many actors, propelling them to success in their careers. The sequels may not have replicated the same success as the first film, but they have added depth to the characters and acted as milestones for the cast.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a turning point for many actors involved in the movie, and since its release, they have come a long way in their careers. Although My Big Fat Greek Wedding did not initially have a lot of buzz surrounding its release, the rom-com movie became a sleeper hit after premiering in 2002.

HBO Max is no more. In its place are…HBO and Max. Warner Bros.
