Summertime makes me consider marriage ceremony season.

Love is within the air — lovely brides, good-looking grooms. To not point out an open bar. What may very well be higher?

There have been loads of diversifications of “Father of the Bride,” however that is the primary one that includes a Latinx solid.

As common Pop Life readers know, I can’t get sufficient of content material concerning the British royal household, previous and current.

“Changing into Elizabeth” is the newest entry into the cannon, telling the dramatized story of the sixteenth century orphaned teen and daughter of Henry VIII who would go on to develop into Queen Elizabeth I.

In fact, it being a cable collection, there’s some intercourse, intrigue and tons of drama. I actually loved the episodes I screened as a result of it may be a problem to inform contemporary, partaking tales about such an iconic historic determine.

The collection is streaming on Starz.

Isn’t it ironic that Alanis Morissette has a brand new album popping out?

I couldn't resist utilizing that well-known Morissette lyric, provided that her newest venture, “The Storm Earlier than the Calm,” might not precisely be what some expect.

That’s as a result of it’s an album of guided meditations.

However I did.

The retrospective of her life and profession is ready in opposition to the backdrop of her prepping for the 2020 Tremendous Bowl halftime present. I used to be past impressed together with her drive, ardour and want to signify for her tradition.

I had additionally forgotten how good Lopez was in 2019’s “Hustlers” and the way she was snubbed throughout awards season that 12 months.

Above all, there was one thing about seeing a lady of coloration in her 50s — when a lot of Hollywood rewards and celebrates youth — doing the rattling factor and proudly owning all of it.

Thanks for the inspiration, J. Lo.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s defamation trial is over, though it doesn’t really feel prefer it.

Heard not solely reconfirmed her allegations of abuse in opposition to Depp, however she additionally talked about how most people seemingly considered the authorized backwards and forwards between the 2 (they have been each suing one another, and the testimony dredged up loads of ugliness between the previous spouses).

“I might not blame the common particular person for taking a look at this and the way it’s been lined and never suppose that it's Hollywood brats at their worst,” she instructed Guthrie. “However what individuals don’t perceive is it’s truly a lot greater than that.”

For weeks, the trial garnered numerous consideration and commentary. However on the finish of the day, the argument may very well be made that nobody actually received as a result of each Heard and Depp had the doorways opened to what seemed to be an extremely poisonous and dysfunctional relationship.

Regardless of the place both of their lives or careers go, that personal strife laid naked will all the time comply with them each.
