Prime Video is asking fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty to preserve the magic of Cousins Beach.

The streaming service posted a public announcement to its social media accounts on Tuesday asking fans to not spoil anything about the upcoming The Summer I Turned Pretty film. The movie will conclude the story of the beloved romance series, which ended its three-season run in September 2025.

“We love the excitement, but sharing locations and visiting set disrupts filming and creates real safety concerns for our cast and crew,” the post is captioned. “We’re working hard to create a protected bubble to make the best movie possible. Please help us protect the magic of Cousins until it’s ready to be shared.”

The post features an aerial video of sand on the beach with audio of waves crashing onto shore. Written in the sand are the words, “Privacy please.”

Jenny Han is set to direct The Summer I Turned Pretty‘s film based on a script she wrote with the series’ co-showrunner Sarah Kucserka.

Lola Tung stars as Belly Conklin, a young woman who was caught in a love triangle between brothers Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher, played by Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno. In the final episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty, Belly chose to be with Briney’s Conrad once and for all.

At the time the film was announced in September 2025, Han teased what fans can expect from it.

“There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due,” Han said. “I’m so grateful to Prime Video for continuing to support my vision for this story and for making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans.”

A24 has released the first trailer for Tony, the upcoming biographical drama about famed chef, Kitchen Confidential author and legendary Parts Unknown culinary travel host Anthony Bourdain.

Dominic Sessa stars in the film as a 19-year-old Bourdain, who “travels to Provincetown and stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that will shape the course of his life,” according to A24.

The teaser was released Tuesday. In it, a young Bourdain — “Tony” — is seen navigating a tumultuous career, losing out on a writing fellowship only to find himself working in the kitchen of a small seafood restaurant alongside fellow employees Dimitri (Stavros Halkias), Sal (Leo Woodall) and Tyrone (Michael Jibrin).

Their boss, restaurant owner Ciro (Antonio Banderas), pushes Tony to better himself. The trailer shows the pair working together to create simple, elegant plates of lobster, oysters and more, culminating with Ciro handing Tony a white chef’s coat.

“What’s this?” Tony asks.

“That’s for you,” Ciro responds.

Tony is directed by Matt Johnson, with a script by Johnson, Matthew Miller, Todd Bartels and Lou Howe.

Additional cast members include Emilia Jones, Dagmara Dominczyk, Rich Sommer, Caroline Portu and Monica Raymund.

The real-life Bourdain, a former executive chef at Manhattan’s Brasserie Les Halles, bestselling author, and Food Network and CNN travel host, died in June 2018 at age 61, leaving behind a daughter, Ariane Bourdain.

Tony hits theaters in August 2026.

Whitney Leavitt to depart ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ after season 5

Whitney Leavitt is saying goodbye to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

The reality star and actress took to Instagram on Tuesday to confirm rumors that she is departing the popular Hulu series. Leavitt will finish shooting the currently in production season 5, but that will be her last season as a cast member on the show.

“I am leaving The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Take a minute, take it in,” Leavitt says at the beginning of the video she shared to confirm the news.

It was reported that Leavitt initially announced she was departing The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives during her final performance as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway on Sunday.

“I’ve seen a lot of conversation on my announcement, so I just wanted to come on here and share my thoughts,” she said in the video. “Just to be very clear, I am finishing season 5. So yes, I will be in that season. But also yes, it will be my last.”

Leavitt then remarked on her journey with the show, saying she had been trying to get into the acting world long before joining The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

“The reality show, it fell into my life organically and I said yes to it. It’s definitely not the path that I had envisioned in my mind to get to where I am today, but I wouldn’t change a thing,” Leavitt said.

This casting news arrives after filming resumed on season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives weeks after its star Taylor Frankie Paul’s season as lead of The Bachelorette was pulled by ABC amid an open “domestic assault investigation” involving Paul and ex-partner Dakota Mortensen.

Hulu has announced a spinoff titled The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, which will star MomTok member Jen Affleck, who is presumably also leaving the original show.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.

A brand-new episode of The Bear? Yes, chef!

FX and Hulu have dropped a surprise episode of the acclaimed drama series. The episode, which is titled Gary, is a flashback that follows the characters Richie and Mikey, as played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Jon Bernthal. It runs an hour and takes place before the events of the main series.

This prequel episode follows Richie and Mikey as they take a work trip to Gary, Indiana. According to its official description, the episode takes a look at “the two friends’ complicated relationship, uncovering new layers of Mikey’s mental state while offering crucial insight into the man Richie is when audiences first meet him in season 1 — adding emotional context that reframes their story from the very beginning.”

Bernthal and Moss-Bachrach cowrote the episode, which was directed by the series’ creator, Christopher Storer. Moss-Bachrach took to his Instagram on Tuesday to promote the episode in a post he collaborated on with Bernthal.

“COUSINS! PRIMOS! CUGINI!!! Get ready for GARY!!!! We are so excited to finally share this little adventure with Richie and Mikey,” Moss-Bachrach wrote. “Making this was a dream come true. Thanks to the beautiful people of Gary, Indiana and as always Chicago, Illinois.”

The actor also noted that the episode will appear on Hulu under the name Gary, telling interested viewers to search its title instead of looking for it as part of The Bear‘s catalog.

The Bear was renewed for a fifth season after season 4 premiered in June 2025.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News, FX and Hulu.

The trailer also shows off more from its star-studded ensemble cast, including Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland and Anne Hathaway.

“This is a household waiting for a master. I want you to choose me,” Pattinson’s Antinous says to Hathaway’s Penelope.

“Ithaca’s king is coming back,” she says in return.

Lupita Nyong’o and Zendaya also star in the film, which Universal describes as “a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology,” which will bring the foundational, classic story to IMAX screens for the first time.

Homer’s The Odyssey, of course, tells the story of the Greek hero Odysseus’ 10-year journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War. He is filled with interruptions in his quest to return home to his wife, Penelope, and his grown son, Telemachus, who fights off suitors who are desperate to steal his father’s throne.

Nolan wrote and directed the film, his first since the Oscar-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer. He also produced the movie with his wife, Emma Thomas.

The Odyssey opens in movie theaters on July 17.

Met Gala 2026: Memorable looks from fashion’s biggest night

The stars were out for the 2026 Met Gala in New York City Monday night.

This year’s theme was “Costume Art,” which aims to “celebrate fashion as an art form,” according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Met Costume Institute.

With a dress code of “Fashion is Art,” the night delivered bold interpretations and risk-taking style.

Here are some of the most memorable looks:

Heidi Klum: The model — known for her prosthetics-heavy Halloween costumes — took the theme literally, transforming herself into a living marble statue in a custom look by Mike Marino.

Beyoncé: The singer made her return to the Met after 10 years, with husband Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy Carter by her side. Bey wore a diamond skeleton look with a long feathered train designed by Olivier Rousteing.

Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams: The Heated Rivalry stars made their Met Gala debut in two very different looks. Storrie wore a Saint Laurent suit with a polka dot halter top, while Williams opted for bold Black Swan-inspired glam and a baby blue Balenciaga look.

Sabrina Carpenter: The singer wore a Dior dress made entirely of film strips from the 1954 Audrey Hepburn film Sabrina.

Blake Lively: Shortly after news broke that she and Justin Baldoni settled their It Ends With Us lawsuit, Lively made a surprise appearance in pastel-colored archival Versace.

Bad Bunny: The singer’s look aged him about 50 years — on purpose. He used Heidi Klum’s prosthetics guy, Mike Marino, to transform into an elderly version of himself.

Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti: The One Battle After Another co-stars stunned in eye-catching dresses — Taylor in a head-to-toe fringed Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann gown and Infiniti stepping out for her first Met in a sequined Thom Browne dress inspired by the Venus de Milo.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settle ‘It Ends With Us’ lawsuit

It Ends With Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have settled their nearly two-year legal battle, according to a statement from their legal teams.

“We remain firmly committed to workplaces free of improprieties and unproductive environments. It is our sincere hope that this brings closure and allows all involved to move forward constructively and in peace, including a respectful environment online,” read a portion of the joint statement released on Monday.

The dispute was set to see a jury later this month.

The joint statement put out by the parties on Monday began, “The end product – the movie ‘It Ends With Us’ – is a source of pride to all of us who worked to bring it to life. Raising awareness, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of domestic violence survivors – and all survivors – is a goal that we stand behind.”

The statement continued, “We acknowledge the process presented challenges and recognize concerns raised by Ms. Lively deserved to be heard.”

The settlement brings an end to the high-profile legal saga which kicked off in December 2024 when Lively filed a filed a complaint with the California Civil Rights Department in late December, alleging “severe emotional distress” after she said Baldoni and key stakeholders in the film sexually harassed her and attempted, along with Baldoni’s production company, to orchestrate a smear campaign against her.

Baldoni followed up the action by filing a lawsuit against the New York Times for libel and false light invasion of privacy on Dec. 31 after it published the article about Lively’s California complaint.

Also on Dec. 31, Lively formalized her complaint into a lawsuit against Baldoni in New York.

Baldoni would respond by filing a civil lawsuit against Lively, husband Ryan Reynolds and others, for, among other things, extortion and defamation.

The suits were consolidated into one suit in January 2025.

In June of last year, Baldoni’s $400 million lawsuit against Blake Lively, her husband, the couple’s publicist Leslie Sloane, as well as Baldoni’s defamation suit against The New York Times, was dismissed by Judge Lewis J. Liman.

The New York Times countersued Wayfarer Studios, Baldoni’s production company, in September 2025, asking for reasonable costs and attorney fees paid back to the New York Times. The matter is ongoing according to the court docket.

On April 2 of this year, a federal judge in New York gutted much of Lively’s case against Baldoni, including claims she was subjected to sexual harassment on set.

The judge determined Lively would be allowed to pursue certain claims of retaliation against Baldoni’s public relations team over alleged harm to her reputation, according to the ruling by Judge Liman.
