Bilson, who starred on the Fox teen drama series The O.C. as Summer Roberts, was joined by show creator Josh Schwartz and executive producer Stephanie Savage on Wednesday in West Hollywood to celebrate the 21st birthday of the fondly remembered program that signed off in 2007 after four seasons.

Francine Pascal, the author best known for creating hit teen book series “Sweet Valley High,” has died. She was 92.
Pascal died on Sunday in New York, the New York Times reports. The cause of death was lymphoma Pascal’s daughter, Laurie Wenk-Pascal, told the newspaper.
“Sweet Valley High” debuted in 1983 after a friend remarked to Pascal there was no teen version of 1980s soap “Dallas.” Pascal was reportedly inspired to create the series, about blonde Californian twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, immediately. The books went on to spawn hundreds of sequels and spin-offs detailing the twins at different ages, ranging from middle school to college. There were also some wackier books which saw the twins mixed up in murders and even supernatural events.
Only the first 12 books were written by Pascal although she wrote most of the outlines for the others. A TV adaptation of the books ran for four...

Falling in love on set is one of the most romantic ways that two actors can get together in Hollywood. Spending hours together and getting to know each other through and through, only to realize that there could be more to their story. Many of Hollywood’s most iconic couples meet in a similar fashion, and Morena Baccarin and Ben McKenzie were similarly acquainted with each other.

While their love story had a beautiful conclusion, with them now married with kids, their start wasn’t as smooth. As it would seem, McKenzie forgot the first time he met his future wife, who went on to star in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool.

Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent is responding to actor David Arquette’s slam about her behavior toward him. He was recently on Wwhl with Andy Cohen and spoke about their time filming the 2020 movie, Spree. Now, Lala has come back with her own statement but what is she saying? Keep reading for more details.
Lala Kent Responds To David Arquette Slam
In the last year or so, Lala Kent has tried to maintain that she was in a softer era. Yet, her behavior in Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules proved otherwise. She had a level of hypocrisy that did not work well for fans. At the reunion, she lashed out, brought up irrelevant things, spilled secrets, and noted that this was a job. More so, she cited that it was the cast’s job to be transparent and honest about their lives. Social media had a field day with that, bringing...

When "Veronica Mars" first debuted in 2004, it came with a hell of a premise. Right off the bat, it was clear that the show about a teenage P.I. was a far cry from the Nancy Drew mysteries of decades past. Veronica is a firebrand, a cynical high schooler with a taser and a mission –- or several. Rob Thomas' show begins with an almost overwhelming influx of mysteries, giving Veronica a dead best friend, a missing mom, and a disturbing date-rape past to reckon with. While rival teen shows like "The O.C." painted a slightly softer portrait of SoCal elites, "Veronica Mars" took a nihilistic approach to its fictional subjects, presenting the rich and famous residents of Neptune, California as corruptible at best and actively horrible at worst.

Described as a “musical horror-thriller,” Variety reports today that the upcoming movie Art of a Hit has been acquired by Giant Pictures for 2024 release here in North America.
The film “follows a ’90s rock band frontman grappling with irrelevance. An eccentric producer invites the band to his French chateau to record, where they encounter unexpected challenges.”
“Art of a Hit takes everything we love about the late ‘90s and early 2000s rock scene and jams it into a wildly creepy castle in the most beautiful place on earth: Dordogne, France. It’s funny, scary, messed up and honest — a story about what it’s like to be in a band and the insane fears of trying to make it as an artist. If you love late 90s rock, if you loved being in a band, you will love Art of a Hit,” director Gaelan Draper and co-writer/star Charlie Saxton said.

Chris Pratt became a star almost by accident. After early acting jobs on such TV series as “Everwood” and “The O.C.,” Pratt was booked to guest on a short six-episode arc on a new NBC sitcom, “Parks and Recreation.” When the six episodes aired, however, the unexpected happened. From just that brief time, Andy Dwyer, his goofball of a character, became an immediate fan favorite, and the show’s producers wasted little time in inviting Pratt to return as a series regular for the second season. As the show’s acclaim grew, so did the cheers for Pratt, resulting in his first Critics Choice nomination.
From there, films beckoned as Pratt was cast in key supporting roles in a number of Best Picture nominees, including “Her,” “Moneyball” and “Zero Dark Thirty.” 2014, however, proved to be Pratt’s breakout year, as he moved up to starring roles in a pair of...

Netflix’s live roast of NFL great Tom Brady made it into the Nielsen streaming rankings for its premiere, despite only being available for a few hours of that week. After its first full week on the streamer, it rocketed to the top of the charts.
The Roast of Tom Brady gathered 1.67 billion minutes of viewing for the week of May 6-12, leading all streaming titles by a wide margin (the second-place finisher, Grey’s Anatomy, had 1.11 billion minutes of watch time for the week). The roast also had by far the biggest weekly viewing tally ever for a Netflix special; the previous high was 798 million minutes for Chris Rock’s stand-up special Selective Outrage in March 2023.
The 1.67 billion minutes of viewing for the roast in the United States translates to about 27.87 million hours, or about two thirds of Netflix’s reported worldwide total (42.2 million hours) for the special that week.

The reality series features plenty of deals being made for properties across Orange County, California. However, the story is just as much about the Oppenheim employees as they navigate each other professionally and personally.

Twenty years ago, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s breakout hit The O.C., about a group of teens coming of age in Newport Beach, premiered on Fox. By the time the 27-episode first season aired its finale in the spring of 2004, the show was the highest-rated drama on TV among adults 18 to 34 and had catapulted its stars — whose characters were affectionately known as the “Core Four” — to massive, near-overnight popularity.
It wouldn’t be the first or last young adult series in the U.S. to generate a cultural frenzy. But the industry ecosystem that birthed and defined zeitgeisty YA shows like it — 22-episode drama series with largely white casts found through in-person auditions — is vanishing. As viewers have increasingly abandoned broadcast and cable TV, the linear networks these shows called home (Fox, The WB, Upn, The CW, MTV and Freeform) have also faced mergers, acquisitions, multiple rebrands or given...

Think about it: Can you name a recent series that gives off Dawson’s Creek, The O.C. or even Pretty Little Liars energy? Shows that offer incredible melodrama, characters you simultaneously love/can’t stand and baffling storytelling choices in a high school setting? Not considering the supernatural ones — if only because their scope tends to reach too far beyond high school — we can count this type of all-engrossing youth drama on one hand. The teen soap output from The CW, Freeform (née ABC Family) and MTV has become all but nonexistent.

Kim Kardashian Continues To Grow Her Empire
As of 2024, Kim Kardashian has an estimated net worth of $1.7B. That’s more money than the average working person can even fathom, but, it’s sitting comfortably in Kim’s bank account and continuing to grow with each new venture she gets involved with.
Kim Kardashian has an even bigger net worth than Taylor Swift and Rihanna, who also sit comfortably in the billionaire club. Indeed, it’s an exclusive club that very few people ever reach.

In the fashion world, where every detail counts, Rachel Bilson stands out with her petite frame. She measures a charming 5 feet 1 inch (154.9 cm) and claims to be a little taller in interviews.
This Hollywood fashionista, known for her impeccable style, rocks a US shoe size 5. It’s all about finding the perfect fit, and for our international readers, that’s a UK size 3, an EU size 35-36, and a Japanese size around 21.5 to 22 cm.
Rachel’s stature is a nod to the unique beauty of being petite. She’s about 7.7 cm shorter than the average American woman, who typically stands around 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm).

The cast of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is still close nearly 20 years after they first came together.
Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn played best friends united by a pair of pants that followed them on huge adventures in two movies starting back in 2005.
The perfect cast is part of what made the franchise as successful as it is. However, we recently learned that several other big actresses were in the running for the roles.

Since The CW revamped its schedule, the football drama All American remains one of the last originals.
Since its spinoff, All American: Homecoming, was also renewed and is scheduled to air sometime in the summer of 2024, it’s not overall surprising they want to capitalize on both.
It’s not uncommon for a TV to expand its universe into spinoffs. Most often, procedural-type franchises such as CSI, Law & Order, and the One Chicago Universe have done it.
However, we’ve seen teen shows do it successfully, including The Vampire Diaries universe on The CW and The Fosters transitioning into Good Trouble on Freeform.
All American and All American: Homecoming are succeeding the way they are. Do we need additional spinoffs?
What is All American About?
All American was inspired by the life of professional football player Spencer Paysinger. Daniel Ezra portrays the fictional lead role of Spencer James.

Netflix’s Selling the Oc is returning for Season 3 on May 3 and the trailer previews the upcoming drama that will continue shaking things up on the reality series.
The new season of the Selling Sunset spinoff continues with the same cast, including Kayla Cardona, Alexandra Jarvis, Brandi Marshall, Polly Brindle, Alex Hall, Gio Helou, Alexandra Rose, Tyler Stanaland, Austin Victoria, Sean Palmieri, and Jason Oppenheim.
Last season, Alexandra Harper was introduced to audiences, and by the end of Season 2, she was given the opportunity to join the Oppenheim Group. However, things seem to be a little rocky for the real estate agent, with Oppenheim saying, “She has not developed the experience that she should have at this stage of the game.”
The romantic drama between Hall and Stanaland that affected the latter’s marriage to his wife Brittany Snow, continues in Season 3.
“You swooned me and then you f***ing disappeared.

Reese Witherspoon is returning to produce a television adaptation of Legally Blonde for Amazon Prime Video. Here are the details:
According to Variety, a TV series set in the world of Legally Blonde is in development at Amazon Prime Video. Witherspoon will produce the television series through her Hello Sunshine production company, though it hasn’t yet been confirmed if she will also reprise her role.

Selling the Oc‘s Alex Hall is claiming that her Instagram post is not what you think it is.
The 35-year-old realtor shared a video on Instagram that said, “Imagine talking s—t about me in your ugly town to your stinky friend & I’m just over here having breakfast in Lake Como before I head to my massage.”
The timing of the post came just as Brittany Snow‘s interview on Call Her Daddy was released. Brittany was once married to Alex‘s co-worker and one-time romantic interest Tyler Stanaland.
Keep reading to find out more…
For some backstory: Brittany‘s ex Tyler appeared on Selling the Oc alongside a fellow real estate agent Alex Hall. Alex and Tyler seemed very flirty during season one while he was still married. By the end of season two, they were kissing.
Brittany filed for divorce in January of 2023.

A few glasses deep into Polly Brindle’s birthday champagne, Tyler Stanaland intently stares across a hot tub at his co-worker Alex Hall. “I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t think about us being more than friends,” he tells her in the Selling the Oc Season 2 finale. “If I’m in a crowded room and I look across and I see you, everything feels normal.”
In an instant, everything changes between The Oppenheim Group agents, whose flirty friendship has been under the microscope since the series began. Stanaland declares he “plans to court” Hall starting with a dinner date before the two cross the bubbling rubicon and share a steamy kiss in the final moments of the episode.
Well, now that you’ve had a moment to recover, it’s time to find out what happened next. Below, the realtors turned friends (turned maybe soulmates) are...

How often do we see a sequel to a spinoff that is actually a lot of fun? What if you then also made it a tragic love story that involves zombies? That sounds like a Roger Corman or Troma movie but in actuality it’s Return of the Living Dead III (watch it Here) and its from channel favorite Brian Yuzna. Return of the Living Dead is a stone cold classic and is one that I sometimes prefer watching over any of the original Romero trilogy due to how different it is and how it sets up its own rules. Part 2 I have great memories of seeing on TV at my Nana’s house in Santa Ana, California on an old tube TV. It skates that Evil Dead II line of leaning much further into the comedy realm than the first, which is pretty funny in its own way and right.

It's almost hard to believe that Friday Night Lights premiered in 2006. Its "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose" attitude will forever be a staple.
That said, there is no denying that All American has a way of doing things better than its predecessor.
All American is based on the real-life experiences of football player Spencer Paysinger, focusing on two different schools, South Crenshaw and Beverly High School, their students, families, and communities.
We tend to think that money brings happiness. The kids at Beverly High are privileged with lovely things and hefty allowances, but the more meaningful things in life, like family, solidarity, and character, shine at South Crenshaw.
After first watching All American, it's hard not to draw a comparison from it being a mix of Friday Night Lights and whatever teen drama show first comes to mind, whether it's 90210, The Oc, or Riverdale, but a deeper look...

It may be difficult to imagine Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants without America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel, Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn, but some other stars actually came close to landing roles in the hit film.
Producer Debra Martin Chase recalled what went into casting the 2005 movie during a recent interview on the Hollywood Gold podcast.
She said Ferrera, who played Carmen, was “the first one we cast,” but noted she was “still very much a newbie” at that time.
The Princess Diaries producer also revealed that they were going to cast Mischa Barton in Lively’s role of Bridget, and have Kristin Kreuk play Bledel’s character, Lena, but when production got delayed, both actresses were busy again filming The O.C. and Smallville, respectively.
“So we started all over. We saw everybody,” Chase said. “I mean, Kaley Cuoco, Alexa [PenaVega]… [Olivia Wilde] was in the shortlist.”

Thanks to streaming, The O.C. continues to find new audiences, two decades after its initial premiere. The show, which aired for four seasons during its broadcast run, wasn’t just a hit — it was a cultural phenomenon. Peter Gallagher, who was first-billed in the show’s ensemble cast, played a public defender who, after representing a troubled teen, petitioned to become his guardian. When he brought the teen (played by Benjamin McKenzie) into his upper-class community, that set up the culture clash conflicts that helped define the show. When The O.C. premiered in 2003, Gallagher told us that, from the start, he believed the show was truly something special.

The O.C. is currently streaming on Hulu.
