Kathy Bates’ Swan Song
Oscar winner Kathy Bates returns to TV this fall on a reboot of the popular detective series Matlock. And apparently, this will be the last time we see her on screen. She told The New York Times that this role would be the 76-year-old star’s last. The acclaimed actress is best known for her roles in Misery, Titanic, Fried Green Tomatoes, and American Horror Story. The show premieres September 22 on CBS.
Hugh Jackman Is an Eternal DILF
Hugh Jackman just had a big Blockbuster summer with his return to the character of Wolverine. But is that enough for the Aussie hunk? No. He wants you all to know just how shredded Daddy is. The still Instagram video talks about Jackman’s fitness journey for Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine. Damn, Zaddy is looking fine. Though, come on, Hugh! Track pants? Not even a long thigh-length boxer brief? Do better.

I’m so happy for Ben Platt and Noah Galvin! I get excited when I see gay weddings. And they start off well: marriage is also about friendship.
Hugh Jackman is handsome, his character Wolverine is one of his best roles, it’s hard to imagine anyone in the role of Wolverine except him.
I agree with it. About Mystique, I think Rebecca Romijn was the best. Jennifer Lawrence is good, but Romijn was spectacular.
So hating that Red, White, & Royal Blue didn’t win. What the hell is quiz lady??!!
Quiz Lady is a Hulu original movie starring Awkwafina and Sandra Oh. It’s a comedy and pretty good. It’s definitely one of my favorites.
I saw a lot of people complaining about this. They said it was unfair.
