Joan Vassos, a 61-year-old Maryland native, is set to become the very first golden bachelorette. Vassos briefly appeared on The Golden Bachelor before self-eliminating from the competition. While plenty of fans are excited to see Vassos take center stage in the fall, her involvement was a bit surprising. Many viewers assumed her early exit made her a longshot for the role of the first-ever golden bachelorette. It might have been more helpful than harmful.
We think Joan Vassos’ early exit on ‘The Golden Bachelor’ helped her land her new job
While it is impossible to say for certain, it seems possible that Vassos’s early exit from the series and the reason behind that exit made her more marketable to the team behind The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette. Vassos’ decision to leave in week 3 to help her daughter through postpartum depression was certainly noble. It cemented her in...

Rapper Sean Kingston is at the center of a criminal investigation that has led law enforcement to raid his South Florida mansion. The incident occurred on Thursday and resulted in the arrest of Kingston’s mother, Janice Turner.
According to a public information officer at the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, detectives served arrest and search warrants at Kingston’s residence in Southwest Ranches as part of an investigation that began in Dania Beach. Working with the Bso’s Strategic Investigations Unit and Davie Police Swat, authorities executed the raid and took Turner, 61, into custody on numerous fraud and theft charges.
The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear whether there is an arrest warrant for Kingston himself. However, the musician addressed the raid on his Instagram Stories and assured his followers, “People love negative energy! I am good, and so is my mother! My lawyers are handling everything as we speak.

Joe Dante's 1981 werewolf flick "The Howling" boasts one of the most impressive werewolf transformation scenes in the genre's history. A vicious serial killer named Eddie Quist (Robert Picardo) confront's the film's protagonist, Karen (Dee Wallace), an investigative reporter recovering from a previous attack at a woods-bound therapy camp. Lit through the slits in Venetian blinds, Quist's face extends and mutates, his mouth ripping into a terrifying wolf grin, his eyes bulging. Karen witnesses the entire transformation and is, naturally, terrified. Quist was already known for his penchant for murder, but learning that he is a werewolf makes him that much more monstrous. The effects were provided by the amazing Rob Bottin.
"The Howling," while a corker of a monster movie, is also a clever satire of then-modern therapy. A certain kind of "touchy-feely" language had come into vogue in the late '70s and early '80s, and...

Known as the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock left a legacy that the filmmakers still use while writing tense scripts and making horror and thriller movies. His most influential works are Psycho, Vertigo, The Birds and, of course, Rear Window.
70 years ago, the latter mystery thriller, which follows a story of a wheelchair-bound photographer who was spying on his neighbors, became a ground-breaking sensation. Since then, it has inspired a number of movies, and these include the film that is now holding the second place in Netflix’s global chart, even though it was released in 2007.
Its plot revolves around Kale, a 17-year-old sullen boy who ended up under house arrest after assaulting his teacher. There he turns his attention to spying on the neighborhood out of boredom, however, this childish game soon takes quite an unexpected turn.

And it shows. The actress, who moves seamlessly from blockbuster franchises like Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy to indie fare like Jacques Audiard’s Emilia Perez, the film that leads her back to the Palais this year, catches eyes whenever she steps on a red carpet. On the eve of her return, Flannery looks back on their memorable Cannes collaborations and teases what to expect this year: “The beautiful premiere moments are a really magical stage for fashion. These are the moments that we live for.”

Actress Sophie Turner, 28, opened up about the challenges of being a mother in the public eye and reflected on the media’s portrayal of her personal life after her split from husband Joe Jonas, 34.
Turner, a mother of two young daughters, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 1, shared her experience with the overwhelming pressure and the constant scrutiny she faces as a public figure in a candid interview with British Vogue.
In September 2022, Jonas filed for a dissolution of his and Turner’s four-year marriage in Miami, citing an “irretrievably broken” relationship. The couple had a prenuptial agreement in place. Turner later took legal action and alleged that Jonas was wrongfully retaining their daughters’ passports and preventing them from returning to England.
In response to claims that Jonas abducted their children, Jonas responded via his lawyer, who said Jonas wanted “shared parenting” of their children, and they were never “abducted.” The representative said,...

The actress sat down with British Vogue to discuss her upcoming series, Joan, the six-part ITV drama that follows the true story of Britain’s notorious jewel thief Joan Hannington. During the conversation, the Game of Thrones star got candid about her split from the Jonas brother and how much she was affected by the reports alleging she was a bad mother who liked to party.
“I mean, those were the worst few days of my life,” Turner told the publication. “I remember I was on set, I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave.

The actress sat down with British Vogue to discuss her upcoming series, Joan, the six-part ITV drama that follows the true story of Britain’s notorious jewel thief Joan Hannington. During the conversation, the Game of Thrones star got candid about her split from the Jonas brother and how much she was affected by the reports alleging she was a bad mother who liked to party.
“I mean, those were the worst few days of my life,” Turner told the publication. “I remember I was on set, I was contracted to be on set for another two weeks, so I couldn’t leave. My kids were in the States, and I couldn’t get to them because I had to finish Joan. And all these articles started coming out.”

Joan Vassos is getting another shot at love.
The 61-year-old school administrator has been cast as the inaugural Golden Bachelorette, ABC announced Tuesday during Disney’s Upfront presentation.
Vassos was an early frontrunner during Gerry Turner’s season of The Golden Bachelor. She unfortunately had to voluntarily leave the show during Week 3 due to a family emergency. During the Women Tell All, Vassos admitted that she felt there was some unfinished business between her and Turner. At times, she said it was hard not to wonder what may have happened if she’d stayed.
ABC also announced that The Golden Bachelorette, which debuts this fall, will air on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. Et/Pt before new episodes of Abbott Elementary.

Bachelor Nation was shocked by the news of The Golden Bachelor couple Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist‘s split after just three months of marriage. During their visit to TV Insider’s studio, The Bachelor‘s Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson respond to the sudden Golden Bachelor breakup. “We, obviously, were heartbroken for them as everyone else was,” Graziadei tells TV Insider with Anderson by his side. “We’ve gotten the chance to spend time with them individually and together. We know they’re great people, and really, we’re just wishing them nothing but the best in the next part of their journey.” Turner and Nist announced in April 2024 that they made the decision to divorce. The former couple, who fell in love on the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelor, got married in a televised wedding that aired on ABC in January 2024. Graziadei was one of the guests who attended the wedding.

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist are officially getting divorced. The first-ever golden couple made it just three months into their marriage before they decided they were not right for each other. There have been plenty of instances where a The Bachelor or The Bachelorette lead has decided the winner they picked wasn’t right for them. Sometimes, they circle back to another contestant from their season. That won’t be happening this time. At the very least, it isn’t an option for at least one The Golden Bachelor contestant. Leslie Fhima recently dished about her time on the series. She made it clear in a recent interview that she will not be entertaining any possible advances from Gerry Turner now or in the future.

ABC has yet to announce the lead in the upcoming series, but fans strongly suspect that one of the favorites from Gerry Turner’s season will lead the series. Susan Noles was a frontrunner, but she’s dating other men already. Joan Vassos and Faith Martin are fan favorites, but neither has committed to the series. If Swarts is named the first-ever golden bachelorette, ABC must send any man who has never been married packing before he even encounters the eligible bachelorette. Swarts has a very important prerequisite for the men she entertains.

Frank Turner has officially broken the world record for the most shows live shows played in 24 hours.
The English artist played 15 independent shows across 15 different cities in a 24 hour period on Saturday, May 4th. He had previously accomplished a similar feat back in 2009, where he played 24 shows in 24 hours — but all in the greater London area, and in an “unofficial” fashion. He also toured all 50 states in the US in the span of 50 dates in 2022. Now, in honor of the Music Venue Trust (Mvt), Turner played 15 independent shows each in a different town, with tickets sold by independent record shops.
The Mvt’s rules for the world record attempt stipulated that Turner was to perform for a minimum of 15 minutes with at least 25 audience members present, and he couldn’t repeat any previously-played venues during the trek. He began the feat on Saturday with a show in Liverpool and worked...

Jeannie Epper, the peerless, fearless stunt performer who doubled for Lynda Carter on Wonder Woman and swung on a vine across a 350-foot gorge and propelled down an epic mudslide as Kathleen Turner in Romancing the Stone, has died. She was 83.
Epper died Sunday night of natural causes at her home in Simi Valley, her family told The Hollywood Reporter.
Just one member of a dynasty of stunt performers that Steven Spielberg dubbed the “Flying Wallendas of Film” — starting with her father, John Epper, there have been four generations of Eppers in show business since the 1930s — she worked on 150-plus films and TV shows during an astounding 70-year career.
In 2007, Epper received the first lifetime achievement honor given to a woman at the World Taurus Awards and ranks among the greatest stuntwomen of all time.

When filmmaker Rachel Elizabeth Seed first hears the recorded voice of her late mother Sheila Turner Seed, who died when she was only 18 months old, a long-buried sense of connection is instantly reawakened. Seed, also a photographer, has spent years trying to construct a portrait of Turner from the substantial archival materials she left behind following a career as an adventurous, globe-trotting journalist. Each element — Turner’s journals, the interviews she conducted, the television programs she appeared in, the photographs she took and her family’s home movies dating back to her childhood — adds depth to Seed’s vividly introspective documentary “A Photographic Memory.” But beyond the wealth of resources at her disposal, it’s the consistently meta and thematically relevant formal ingenuity Seed shrewdly deploys that make her debut a sumptuous piece of nonfiction.

Hulu’s list of new releases for May 2024 is missing a certain amount of original series firepower. In the place of a blockbuster like The Handmaid’s Tale or Shōgun, however, is some content diversity.
The first of the month sees the premiere of four-episode British series Shardlake. This mystery drama takes place during the reign of Henry VIII and features none other than Thomas Cromwell (Sean Bean) investigating a murder. Other series of note this month include the Korean drama Uncle Samsik on May 15.
Movies are bit more interesting on Hulu in May. Teen comedy Prom Dates premieres on May 3. That will be followed by the 2023 Adam Drive film Ferrari on May 24. Before all that though is the real heavy hitter. You can watch Austin Butler’s acclaimed performance as The King in Elvis as early as May 1.
