Christine Baranski says there will be a third Mamma Mia! movie.
In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter, The Gilded Age star revealed she and producer Judy Kramer recently got together, and the filmmaker revealed Mamma Mia 3 is a go. “She gave me the narrative plotline of how it’s going to happen,” the actress said.
However, Baranski added, “That’s all I can say! But, it’s not like, ‘Oh, I wish it could happen!’ Judy Kramer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn’t put it past [her] to get everybody back together.”
Indeed, the sequel to the 2008 original Abba-drenched musical, 2018’s Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, grossed more than $480 million worldwide against a budget of $75 million.
Getting the gang back together is no small order: The multigenerational cast also included Meryl Streep, Cher, and Colin Firth, as well as Amanda Seyfried, Andy Garcia, Lily James and Pierce Brosnan.
That said, Baranski added, “People are drawn to happiness and to joy, not doom and gloom. Mamma Mia! made so many millions of people around the world happy. Is it a little dumb, a little campy? That’s part of its charm.”
Baranski mused of a third installment, “We’ll all be on some fabulous Greek or Croatian island having a blast, I hope.”
Supermodel Elle MacPherson has revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer seven years ago and underwent nontraditional treatment on her journey to remission.
Australia’s Women’s Weekly magazine excerptedthe 60-year-old’s new memoir, Elle, in which she explained she underwent a lumpectomy, calling it a “shock” when she found out the growth doctors removed was cancerous.
However, while she was advised to have a mastectomy and chemotherapy, she instead took “an intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach” to her health.
“I realised I was going to need my own truth, my belief system to support me through it,” MacPherson writes. “And that’s what I did. So, it was a wonderful exercise in being true to myself, trusting myself and trusting the nature of my body and the course of action that I had chosen.”
Incidentally, the model, entrepreneur and self-described accidental actress said she reached out to fellow Australian entertainer Olivia Newton-John, who died of cancer in 2022 after decades battling the disease. “[We] spoke a few times when I was diagnosed and also through both of our healing journeys. We did things differently, but we did share experiences with each other and how we feel and how we approach things.”
Seven years after she was diagnosed, Elle tells the magazine, “In traditional terms, they’d say I’m in clinical remission, but I would say I’m in utter wellness. And I am!”
More specifically, MacPherson says, “Truly, from every perspective, every blood test, every scan, every imaging test … but also emotionally, spiritually and mentally – not only physically. It’s not only what your blood tests say, it’s how and why you are living your life on all levels.”
With the smash hit neo-Western Yellowstone riding back to Paramount Network on Nov. 10 for the second half of its fifth — supposedly final — season comes a report two of its stars may carry a sixth season.
Deadline says Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, who respectively play firebrand Beth Dutton and her ranch boss hubby Rip Wheeler, have reportedly been in talks “for months” to return for a Yellowstone season 6.
Puck News reported a short time ago that Hauser, Reilly and Luke Grimes — who plays Beth’s brother, Kayce — were likely moseying over to the Yellowstone spin-off when season 5 wraps up.
That show, then called 2024, has been rebranded The Madison and won’t star the trio, but instead Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Fox.
So far there’s nothing official about a sixth season of Yellowstone.
Series lead Kevin Costner won’t be returning to Yellowstone when its fifth season rides off into the sunset — it’s unknown what will happen to his John Dutton.
