Long before the "Barbie" movie, Tyra Banks brought a very Barbie-like character named Eve to life in the classic 2000 TV movie "Life-Size." Now, to celebrate the release of Greta Gerwig's highly anticipated film, Banks has resurrected Eve - and she has an important question for Ken. "Ken, you're leaving me for Who???" Banks captioned her Instagram post, which features the model wearing a very Eve-like ensemble.
In the photo, Banks wears a hot-pink dress with ruffle sleeves, a sparkly statement necklace, a high ponytail, and pink lipstick for good measure. The look screams Eve, the doll who comes to life to help a girl named Casey (played by Lindsay Lohan) process her grief over losing her mother. "Life-Size" was so beloved it earned a holiday-themed sequel in 2018. In the second film, "Life-Size 2," Eve helped the CEO of a toy company (played by Francia Raisa) get her life back on track.

Candace Cameron Bure is being accused of homophobia again.
Miss Benny, who played the first gay character Casey in Fuller House, uploaded a video on TikTok last week, where she opened up about one of her experiences on set and said that “one of the Tanner sisters is very publicly not for the girls.”
Although Benny never indicates which Tanner sister she was referring to in the video, one of the hashtags in the caption was #candacebure. Benny then explains that she was informed about how that person was “trying to get the character removed and not have a queer character on the show.”
“I was also sort of warned and prepared that this person’s fanbase might be encouraged to target me specifically,” she said. Benny then went on to say that although she had worked on the show for two weeks straight, she only spoke to one of the Tanner sisters.

On Tuesday morning, Paul Walter Hauser is driving to Starbucks, “keeping it real” he says, in the wake of his brand new Emmy nomination for the role of serial killer Larry Hall in Apple TV+ limited series Black Bird, which already garnered Critics Choice and SAG Awards. It’s been “a very, very fun morning,” and there’s “a crazy amount to celebrate.”
It’s also a big day for SAG-AFTRA talks, and the threat of an actors’ strike looms. It can be tricky for actors to make public statements at this stage, not knowing what’s coming. But Hauser is not one for backing away from difficulty, as evidenced by his heavy-duty Black Bird role.
“I’m not going to be a coward and not say anything,” he says. “I guess what I would say is this: I love our studios and our streamers, and they have been tastemakers...

In response to an MSNBC panelist that labeled Ron DeSantis’ wife, Casey, as “America’s Karen,” the Florida Governor told Fox News that they just “shrug it off.”
“My wife is an incredibly strong first lady of Florida, a fantastic mother, and a great wife, and that threatens the left,” DeSantis said on Monday’s “Varney & Co.” in defense of his wife.
He continued, “We know it just shows they view her as a threat.”

In Tiger Within, a Holocaust survivor befriends a homeless teen (Margot Josefsohn) in Los Angeles in what might be the ’90s. Directed by Rafal Zielinski and written by Gina Wendkos, Tiger Within is a well-intentioned film, touching on antisemitism, hatred, fear, and prejudices, and highlighting the power of forgiveness and kindness.
Those good intentions, plus Ed Asner in his last big screen role, has earned Tiger Within a place in several Jewish film festivals. All that is in its favor but this rambling coming-of-age film is an up-and-down experience, a film that does not always know how best to convey its message and which it sometimes does awkwardly. At times, there is a feeling that the film is not well thought-out or focused, and there are other moments that are simply awkward, even a bit squirm-inducing.

Glamorous star Miss Benny took to TikTok this week to open up about her time working on Netflix's Fuller House, and it sounds like it wasn't the best experience.
Miss Benny played Casey in two episodes of the Full House revival as Casey, a friend of Kimmy's daughter, Ramona.
"One of the Tanner sisters is, like, very publicly not for the girls, if that makes sense," Miss Benny shared on the social media platform, recalling that the cast member tried to get her character removed.
While Miss Benny never mentions Candace Cameron Bure by name, the actress' name was hashtagged in the video.
"I remember I got sat down by the writers and the studio to basically warn me how this person allegedly was trying to get the character removed and not have a queer character on the show."

Candace Cameron Bure has an iffy track record when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community. In the past, she’s been extensively criticized and accused by her peers of excluding queer people, while some have even gone so far as to publicly call her a “bigot.” Given all that, many assumed Bure was the person in question when actress and Fuller House guest star Miss Benny said on TikTok that “one of the Tanner sisters” advocated for the removal of the show’s first openly queer character (played by Miss...

Candace Cameron Bure has denied a former castmate’s accusation that she tried to remove the “Glamorous” star from her role on Netflix’s “Fuller House.”
“’Fuller House’ has always welcomed a wide range of characters,” Bure said in a statement to TheWrap. “I thought Miss Benny did a great job as ‘Casey’ on the show. We didn’t share any scenes together, so we didn’t get a chance to talk much while filming on set. I wish Miss Benny only the best.”
In a TikTok video posted on Thursday, Miss Benny recounted a time when she was told that Casey — the show’s first openly gay character — was at risk of being removed because “one of the Tanner sisters” was “very publicly ‘not for the girls.’”

Candace Cameron Bure is pushing back against an accusation that she asked for a queer character to be removed from “Fuller House,” the “Full House” sequel series that aired for five seasons and 75 episodes on Netflix between 2016 and 2020. Miss Benny, the current star of Netflix’s “Glamorous,” appeared in two episodes of “Fuller House” Season 4 as Casey, the franchise’s first openly queer character. Miss Benny recently posted a TikTok that heavily implied Bure was homophobic behind the scenes of “Fuller House.”
One of Miss Benny’s followers asked the star on TikTok, “Fuller house? Who was homophobic was it Candace?” Miss Benny responded in a TikTok that included #candacecure in the video description but did not verbally call her out by name. The actor said “one of the Tanner sisters” was “very publicly not for the girls,” which for many viewers meant either Bure (who played D.J. Tanner-Fuller...

Bure, who starred in all five seasons of Fuller House as DJ Tanner, however has denied Miss Benny’s accusation.

It appears Netflix’s “Glamorous” star, Miss Benny, is not too fond of how things folded out on set between her and one of her fellow “Fuller House” co-stars.
In a new TikTok, the actress, who played “the first gay character in the ‘Full House’ franchise, responded to a fan question wondering who was homophobic on set. In her video response, Benny claims “one of the Tanner sisters” — referring to Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) and Candace Cameron Bure (D.J. Tanner), who were two of the three Tanner girls that reprised their roles for the “Full House” reboot — not only tried to get her character axed, but also never spoke to her for the entire duration of her time on set.

We have a love/hate relationship with cliffhangers. How about you?
It's almost become a trope that shows hit the brakes for the season in the middle of a scene, with characters in danger of death, being sent to jail, or about to accept marriage proposals.
That keeps us talking all summer long, but if the cliffhanger is strong enough, waiting for the next season to begin is torturous!
2023 brought many jaw-dropping cliffhangers. Now that the dust has settled a bit, check out our list of the most shocking ones, and let us know if we've included your favorite!
1. Chicago Med - Will Leaves The Hospital All right, so this isn't the kind of cliffhanger that makes us wonder what will happen next since Will's story is over. Still, the loss of the doctor who has been doing the wrong thing for the right reason since the series began is a big shock,...
