Victoria Beckham follows husband David with her own Netflix docuseries
After the docuseries about the life of David Beckham became a hit for Netflix, Variety says the streaming service is serving up a show about his better half.
Victoria Beckham appeared in the previous series, called Beckham, and made headlines — and memes — for a scene where her former soccer star hubby forced her to admit she wasn’t working class as claimed, and was in fact driven to school in a Rolls-Royce in her youth.
Beckham’s missus will take center stage in the as-yet-untitled series he’s co-producing, which promises appearances by her family and friends.
An official synopsis reads, “Her Posh Spice days may be behind her, but today Beckham is on a journey to build a fashion empire — and now, fans will be able to see the story behind it all.”
Ryan Reynolds paid tribute to his Deadpool franchise co-star Rob Delaney and memorialized Delaney’s late son, Henry, in an emotional Instagram post Monday.
Delaney played Peter, initially the only non-superpowered member of Deadpool’s very short-lived superhero team X-Force, beginning with 2018’s Deadpool 2.
“There’s more to @robdelaney than some realize,” Reynolds wrote. “He’s one of the most subversively funny people I know. He’s a beautiful, acerbic and vulnerable writer. If you stayed through the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine, you might notice a credit saying, ‘For Henry Delaney’. Henry is Rob’s son. And Rob lost his little boy to a brain tumor in 2018. Right as we finished Deadpool 2.”
Reynolds wrote, “I’ve always kicked my own a** because I didn’t place a tribute to Henry over the end credits of DP2. If there’s a bright side, even more people are seeing Henry’s name in the credits of Deadpool & Wolverine. And at long last, father and son are sharing the same screen.”
Reynolds says Delaney “has a vivid perspective on unimaginable grief. And he takes an unfiltered, rage-ful [sic] loving, sad and hilarious (yes, HILARIOUS) look at grief through his book, A HEART THAT WORKS,” Ryan says, calling it “an incredible piece of writing which explores the kaleidoscopic colours of emotion Henry’s passing revealed.”
Reynolds concluded, “I’m lucky to know Rob. And I’m lucky to have friends willing to put themselves on the line to make others feel less alone.”
Kim Kardashian has reportedly lined up her next TV producing gig. The reality TV giant and entrepreneur is reportedly adapting La La Anthony‘s New York Times bestselling The Love Playbook into a TV project.
According to Variety, Kim is teaming up with black-ish veteran Kenya Barris and BET Studios for a show called Group Chat, based on Anthony’s book, as part of Kardashian’s deal with Disney-owned 20th Television.
The trade says the show, if it’s picked up to series, would stream on Hulu, home to The Kardashians and where Kim’s acting work in FX’s American Horror Story: Delicate can be seen.
As reported, Kim’s also developing for Hulu All’s Fair, a legal drama co-produced by her AHS producer Ryan Murphy,and starring Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor and Naomi Watts.
Emily Blunt is looking back on some of the biggest roles of her career.
The actress, who was nominated earlier this year for her first Academy Award for her performance in the 2023 blockbuster biopic Oppenheimer, sat down with Good Morning America to chat about the beloved The Devil Wears Prada (2006) and the scary A Quiet Place (2018).
Reflecting on her first day of shooting The Devil Wears Prada, Blunt called it a “nerve-racking” experience because “it was my first big movie and I didn’t know what to expect.”
“I remember how kind Annie Hathaway was to me,” she recalled of her co-star, AnneHathaway.
“And David Frankel, the director, created such a fun environment,” she added. “You could improv, you could chuck in a thing you wanted in there, and there were no mistakes.”
One thing she said stuck out to her about her first day on set was how she “fell practically on Meryl Streep” during a scene that required her to run down a corridor in high heels, which she admitted she is “not very good at walking in.”
“I just fell over, clipboard and all, just clattering to the floor,” she said, recalling how her co-star didn’t break character.
Fast-forward 12 years later and Blunt found herself diving into a new genre — horror — by starring alongside husband John Krasinski in A Quiet Place, which Krasinski also directed.
She quickly learned “how tiring it is to be constantly hyperventilating and terrified.” But Blunt said watching Krasinski direct his first film showed her a new side of him.
“You kind of see that your partner kind of has a superpower you didn’t know they had,” she gushed. “It was really extraordinary to build that together.”
