Spoiler Alert: This story contains details of tonight’s Blue Bloods series finale and Season 14 ender ‘End of Tour.’

“I’m handing you the keys,” a wounded New York Mayor Peter Chase (Dylan Walsh) says to NYPD Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) in the Blue Bloods series finale tonight as murderous gangs rage on the streets killing police, judges, and anyone else who gets in their way. “Get us out of this,” the often cunning politician tells the top cop he has so often clashed with over the long running CBS drama’s run.

“Tom Selleck’s character, Frank Reagan, had spent 14 years arguing with his boss, and there was an opportunity there for him to finally serve his boss in a way that also was true to his character,” explains Blue Bloods longtime showrunner Kevin Wade of the importance of the scene in “End of Tour,” the 293rd episode...

In the 2010s, fans saw Lopez step out of her comfort zone a bit. She’d taken a long break from the film industry to focus on raising her kids. But once her hiatus ended, Lopez decided to experiment with her career. Instead of starring solely in movies, Lopez became a host for American Idol. She enjoyed her time on the series so much that she stayed on for several seasons. Other than that, she also made a cameo appearance in another hit show by the name of How I Met Your Mother.

Jennifer Lopez is enjoying an afternoon of retail therapy.

The 55-year-old “On the Floor” singer and Hustlers actress headed into the Saks Fifth Avenue store on Thursday afternoon (December 12) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

For her outing, Jennifer looked super chic in a white, lace top with ripped boot-cut jeans, tan platformed heels, and brown sunglasses.

In a new interview, Jennifer looked back on the start of her career and how she overcame some of the limitations that she faced.

Jennifer‘s new movie Unstoppable, which she stars in alongside Jharrel Jerome, is out in select theaters now and will be available for streaming on Prime Video starting on January 16, 2025. Check out the trailer here!

If you missed it, Jennifer Lopez was recently honored at a big event.

“I wasn’t the healthiest,” admits Jharrel Jerome about his life before “Unstoppable.” But playing wrestler Anthony Robles in the Amazon MGM film has changed that. He says, “I’m into the gym now. That’s something I’ve always wanted to do and it’s a blessing that work led me there. I learned fitness health, and that led to mental health, caring for myself and understanding me more. Not often as an actor do you get to do a role that shapes you and teaches you something.” (Watch the video interview above.)

“Unstoppable” tells the true story of Anthony, who defies the odds of being born with one leg to pursue his dream to become a national champion. At the heart of the film is the loving relationship between Anthony and his mother, played by Jennifer Lopez. What was it like working with Lopez? “I’m also from...

Ben Affleck’s rise, fall, and every upsetting digression in between has been a major focus of the tabloids and the public since his Oscar-winning foray via Good Will Hunting. The 1997 film had proven the young star’s worth as the Bostonian (alongside Matt Damon) helped raise the bar for other Hollywood aspirants and dreamers in the making.

However, in the past decade, Affleck has wrought more damage to his personal life, reputation, and relationships due to his struggle with addiction. After the disintegration of his marriage with Jennifer Garner, the actor and director has been through a flurry of short-lived romances that ended with his marriage to Jennifer Lopez.

Know more about Kendall Jenner’s Meow tattoo (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Kendall Jenner revealed the story behind this quirky ink. During a chat with Ellen DeGeneres, Kendall confessed that the tattoo was the result of a wild night out drinking with friends. “It was literally the first thing that came to my mind,” she laughed, admitting there was no deep meaning behind the choice. It was just a classic case of spontaneous, drunken thoughts taking over.

This isn’t Kendall’s first brush with tattoos that spark curiosity. Her Instagram followers often play detective, closely analyzing her ink updates, which tend to be small and subtle. She’s got two tiny tattoos on her middle fingers — a white dot inked back in 2015 by JonBoy in NYC and a broken white heart that matches a red version her friend Hailey Baldwin sports. These tattoos are barely visible but carry their own meaning for Kendall.

Holland added, “I’ve got to remind myself that I’m lucky enough as it is. Spider-Man is an absolute delight and privilege to play, but you know, should they want to do a younger James Bond,...

The 26-year-old added, “The biggest lesson I’ve heard is no one gets out of this life without getting hurt, and no one gets out of this life without hurting someone.”

Ever since Meghan Markle first got engaged to Prince Harry, she has faced relentless bullying and hatred from the media. The former actress had to walk through fire to be where she is: happily married, a mother of two, a media personality, and a businesswoman of her lifestyle brand.

Meghan and Harry tied the knot in 2018, and after facing a lot of ire from the royal family, they decided to leave their duties and move to Montecito, where they live with their two kids, Archie and Lilibet.

Exclusive: Alex O’Loughlin, the actor best known for his staring role as Steve McGarrett in CBS’s reboot of Hawaii Five-0, has signed with Independent Artist Group for representation.

Airing for 10 seasons between 2010 and 2020, Hawaii Five-0 is based on a police procedural that ran on CBS from 1968 to 1980. The show focuses on an elite, specialized police task force that combats major crimes on the islands of Hawaii, including murder, organized crime, drug trafficking, and terrorism. The team operates with a high level of autonomy, often working directly under the authority of the Governor of Hawaii.

O’Loughlin’s McGarrett is a former Navy Seal who is appointed to lead the Five-0 task force. In addition to starring on the show, he wrote and directed multiple episodes.

Prior television credits for O’Loughlin include the lead of CBS’s weekly medical series Three Rivers, as well as the CBS/Warner Bros....

Exclusive: Jason Moore (Shotgun Wedding) and Nick Santora (Reacher) are teaming on a film adaptation of Playing for Pizza, the New York Times bestselling novel by John Grisham, for Skydance Sports.

Moore will direct from Santora’s script, with Jesse Sisgold, Jason Reed, and Don Granger producing for Skydance Sports, along with Mark Ciardi and Campbell McInnes for Select Films. Sandino Moya-Smith will oversee the project for Skydance Sports.

New documentaries about Selena, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Jeff Buckley, and Sly Stone are among the films competing at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival next month.

Amir “Questlove” Thompson’s long-in-the-works Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) — the follow-up to the Roots drummer’s Oscar-winning directorial debut Summer of Soul — will premiere at the fest, which begins in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah on Jan. 23.

“It’s official! Sly Lives! (Aka The Burden of Black Genius) will premiere at the 2025 #Sundance Film Festival,” Questlove wrote on social media Wednesday.

Bring on the discoveries. Look back at last year’s Sundance program and a number of once-unidentifiable titles morphed, after upbeat reviews and publicity and box-office or streaming, into high-profile breakouts and Oscar contenders — from “Love Lies Bleeding,” “Kneecap,” “A Different Man,” “Thelma,” and “A Real Pain” to “Sugarcane,” “Will & Harper,” and “Black Box Diaries.”

That’s why agents, casting directors, producers, filmmakers, and executives attend the annual January festival: to be there when new talent pops up. Or, when they pop up again: Bill Condon debuted “Gods and Monsters” in 1998, and he’s back this year with his musical adaptation of “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” starring Jennifer Lopez and Diego Luna. That means we’ll be seeing Lopez descend upon Park City with her entourage. She was at the festival in 2015 for “Lila & Eve.” This year’s edition is lighter on A-list names than years past, leaving...

The next “A Real Pain” might be found in the 2025 Sundance Film Festival film lineup, which was announced on Wednesday.

Notable directors with films at the festival include Oscar winner Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson (“Sly Lives! aka The Burden of Black Genius”), Oscar winner Davis Guggenheim (“Deaf President Now!”), and Oscar winner Barry Levinson (“Bucks County”).

This year, several top indie features premiered at Sundance, including “A Real Pain,” a top awards contender, and films like “Didi,” “A Different Man,” “Daughters,” and “Sugarcane.”

“The Sundance Film Festival remains steadfast in its commitment to elevating unique and urgent voices in independent storytelling. Audiences can expect a 2025 program that showcases varied and vibrant filmmaking globally,” said Robert Redford, Sundance Institute Founder and President.

While “discovery” remains the focus of the programming team — to the extent that 36 of the 87 features were directed by first-time filmmakers, and three of the six episodic selections — the upcoming edition marks a homecoming for a handful of big names.

Twenty-seven years after “Gods and Monsters,” director Bill Condon returns with his starry take on “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” an adaptation of the stage musical featuring Diego Luna, Tonatiuh and Jennifer Lopez.

“The combination of these new voices and some of these filmmakers who might be more household names, speaks to the the power of independent cinema and how, no matter where you are in your career, you are drawn to this community that Sundance has helped build over the years,” Sundance director of programming Kim Yutani told The Hollywood Reporter. Of the 87 feature films announced thus far, 36 titles (41 percent) are directed by first-time feature film directors.

Did Jennifer Lopez reject Unfaithful? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

J.Lo spilled the tea in Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue, saying, “There was a movie called Unfaithful. And it was offered to me, and the script wasn’t all the way there.” While Diane Lane ultimately got the role opposite Richard Gere and earned critical acclaim, J.Lo still can’t help but replay the missed opportunity in her head. She joked, “I want to, like, shoot my toe off.” Ouch.

J.Lo’s not just about missed chances. She’s always been about reshaping her career and breaking boundaries. After Unfaithful, she didn’t let setbacks stop her. She became a powerhouse in the entertainment world, most notably leading the Hustlers cast. In that role, she commanded the screen as a badass leader of a girl gang of strippers. Critics loved her performance, but still, no Oscar love.

Despite the snub,...

Jennifer Lopez may be from the Bronx, but she has Hispanic roots that she couldn’t be prouder of. The prolific singer only found herself getting closer to her heritage when she started singing in Spanish.

What Jennifer Lopez has said about making music in Spanish Jennifer Lopez | Gilbert Flores / Getty Images

Lopez found something new about herself as an artist when she sung in her family’s native tongue. Although she’s of Hispanic descent, she admitted to having difficulty learning the language.

“I grew up speaking English,” she once told Glamour. “My parents moved here when they were very young, and my two grandmothers were the only people in my family who spoke Spanish. It wasn’t until I did Selena [1997] that I started actively trying to learn the language. I realized I was going to have to do interviews in Spanish and didn’t want to be embarrassed.

In the iconic words of Carrie Bradshaw, ‘I lost my Choo!’ Jimmy Choo is a brand beloved by both royalty and Hollywood elites. It’s one of the biggest names in luxury footwear, consistently breaking boundaries and redefining the concept of understated yet glamorous stilettos.

In 2021, the brand celebrated its 25th anniversary and remains one of the most recognizable names in fashion. Join us as we take an in-depth look at Jimmy Choo, its founder, and everything you need to know about this iconic British brand.

The Story Behind Jimmy Choo: From Humble Beginnings to Global Fame

Jimmy Choo made his first pair of shoes at 11 – showing his flair for design at a young age. He was born in Malaysia and learned his craft from his father, learning how to make shoes by hand.

Unstoppable — not to be confused with the Tony Scott train movie from 2010 — is the sports-movie-iest of all sports movies ever to sports-movie. It is Rocky, The Mighty Ducks, Bill Durham and The Blind Side, rolled into one inspirational, dedicational, motivational package. No sports cliché goes unturned in this true underdog rags-to-riches story of one man’s triumph against adversity through physical and mental excellence. But it excavates and reanimates that familiar formula with such charm and brio that it largely wins you over — especially when buoyed by two excellent lead performances.

One of those performances comes from Jharrel Jerome, playing real-life one-legged wrestler Anthony Robles.
