Tom Holland has confirmed that a long-awaited Fred Astaire biopic is his next project, and the actor says he plans to handle every dance routine himself, with no doubles and no safety net. Holland made the announcement during back-to-back press tour stops for "The Odyssey" and "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," telling George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" that he has already started preparing for the role at a dance studio in central London. Variety reported that Holland described the early rehearsals as equal parts thrilling and daunting. The biopic was first announced five years ago, in 2021, but has taken its time reaching the rehearsal stage. Holland now appears ready to commit fully, framing the project as the defining…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Ken Jacobs) - Rosie O'Donnell says Mounjaro 'saved my life' after decades of weight struggles rooted in childhood grief

The 64-year-old talk show veteran credited three years on the GLP-1 drug with transforming her health, and now wants the pharmaceutical company to lower its price instead of paying her to pitch it. O'Donnell told People magazine in an interview published Thursday that Mounjaro, the brand-name GLP-1 medication, has helped her lose weight at a […] The post Rosie O'Donnell says Mounjaro 'saved my life' after decades of weight struggles rooted in childhood grief appeared first on American Almanac .

The 64-year-old talk show veteran credited three years on the GLP-1 drug with transforming her health, and now wants the pharmaceutical company to lower its price instead of paying her to pitch it. O'Donnell told People magazine in an interview published Thursday that Mounjaro, the brand-name GLP-1 medication, has helped her lose weight at a pace of roughly a pound or two per month over the past three years. She traced her lifelong battle with weight back to 1973, when her mother, Roseann O'Donnell, died and left five children to fend for themselves at the grocery store. O'Donnell, now 64, said she was about 11 years old when her father handed the children a hundred-dollar bill and sent them to Foodtown to buy the family's food. The…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Charles McAdams) - McConaughey stokes the brotherhood question again with birthday post for Harrelson

Matthew McConaughey marked Woody Harrelson's 65th birthday with an Instagram caption that revived a long-running and genuinely strange question, whether the two Hollywood friends share the same biological father. McConaughey, 56, posted an older photo of the pair embracing and wrote, "from another mother? Happy birthday brother." The five-word tease landed with the subtlety of […] The post McConaughey stokes the brotherhood question again with birthday post for Harrelson appeared first on American Almanac .

Matthew McConaughey marked Woody Harrelson's 65th birthday with an Instagram caption that revived a long-running and genuinely strange question, whether the two Hollywood friends share the same biological father. McConaughey, 56, posted an older photo of the pair embracing and wrote, "from another mother? Happy birthday brother." The five-word tease landed with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, given that both men have spent years publicly entertaining the possibility that they are, in fact, half-brothers, and that a new Apple TV+ series built on that very premise is set to premiere September 23. The rumor is not tabloid invention. It traces back to McConaughey's own mother, who told Harrelson she "knew" his father, hinting at a past…Open

Michael J. Fox is heading back to a television set for another season of Apple TV+'s Shrinking, a move that extends a comeback few expected from a man who retired from acting during the pandemic and whose foundation has now funded more than $3 billion in Parkinson's research. Fox, 65, confirmed he will return for Season 4 of the comedy series, where he plays a character who, like Fox himself, lives with Parkinson's disease. He is also currently nominated for an Emmy for his three-episode arc in Season 3, a run that marked the first time in his career he played someone whose Parkinson's was written directly into the role rather than worked around it. The Hollywood Reporter profiled Fox and his foundation co-founder Deborah W. Brooks in…Open
