Emmys in memoriam segment forgets Shelley Duvall, Chita Rivera and more
It’s nearly inevitable that after any awards show, people will notice some celebrity names were omitted from the in memoriam segment, and Sunday night’s Emmys were no exception.
The names of Shelley Duvall, Chita Rivera, Tyler Christopher and Johnny Wactor didn’t appear during Jelly Roll‘s heartfelt song tribute to the stars who had recently passed.
Former General Hospital star Christopher passed away at age 50 on Oct. 31, 2023; Chita Rivera died at 91 on Jan. 30. Wactor, another veteran of General Hospital, was fatally shot in Los Angeles during a robbery on May 25. He was 37. Duvall died at 75 years old on July 11.
(SPOILERS) On social media, Ryan Reynoldshas uncovered for fans an Easter egg that revealed the fate of Channing Tatum‘s slurring Southern X-Man Gambit in Deadpool & Wolverine.
At the end of the blockbuster, a collection of heroes that includes Gambit hold off a horde of bad guys while Ryan’s Deadpool and Hugh Jackman‘s Wolverine escape to another dimension.
It’s assumed the heroes may have sacrificed themselves — but Reynolds just showed that Gambit got out of the wasteland known as The Void.
The scene is technically in the film, but hard to spot as it’s hidden in the “deep background” on a monitor at the TVA, Reynolds explained when posting the moment.
Tatum’s character is shown walking through the aftermath of the fight, when he turns and smiles as the same kind of “Marvel Sparkle Circle” that allowed Deadpool and Wolverine to escape opens behind him.
As reported, Tatum tried for years to bring a Gambit movie to theaters, only to have the plans scuttled when ABC News’ parent company Disney acquired 20th Century Fox.
While he was grateful he got the chance to finally suit up, he tells Collider he doesn’t want to get his hopes up for future appearances. “I could never be in another Marvel movie again, and it wouldn’t surprise me because I’ve had it in my hand before, and it’s gone away,” the Blink Twice star says.
“I’m always grain-of-salting it, but I’m hoping that [Marvel Studios president] Kevin [Feige] will allow me in.”
Universal has dropped the most detailed look yet at its star-studded movie adaptation of the smash musical Wicked.
The movie from director Jon M. Chu stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as, respectively, Glinda and Elphaba aka the Good and Wicked witches of Oz.
The trailer shows the pair meeting and green-skinned Elphaba’s struggle to fit in — even as her “extraordinary” powers are cultivated by Michelle Yeoh‘s Madam Morrible.
In the coming attraction, both young witches go off to see the Wizard — that is, Jeff Goldblum as the avatar behind a fearsome mechanical face — and yes, they follow the Yellow Brick Road to get there at his direction.
However, he’s scheming an opportunity in splitting the pair apart. “The best way to bring folks together is to give ’em a real good enemy,” he purrs.
At this, Erivo is seen donning a pointy black hat and apparently breaking bad, flying through the window on a broom.
“It’s the wizard who should be afraid of me!” she later says defiantly.
And while the show’s celebrated music is heard throughout, both Erivo and Grande are heard — but not seen — at the close, blowing the doors off the climax of the production’s showstopper “Defying Gravity.”
The first part of the two-part epic opens in theaters Nov. 22; part two is slated for a Nov. 26, 2025, release.
Demi Moore hit the red carpet for her new film The Substance on Monday night in Los Angeles with daughters Scout LaRueWillis, Tallulah Willis and Rumer Willis by her side.
Moore shares her three daughters with actor Bruce Willis, to whom she was married from 1987 to 2000.
The Substance, which hits theaters Sept. 20, took home the award for 2024’s best screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.
The film, written and directed by Coralie Fargeat and co-produced by Fargeat, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, follows “a former A-lister past her prime and drawn to the opportunity presented by a mysterious new drug,” according to an official synopsis.
“All it takes is one injection and she is reborn — temporarily — as the gorgeous, twentysomething Sue (Margaret Qualley),” the synopsis continues. “The only rule? Time needs to be split: exactly one week in one body, then one week in the other. No exceptions. Easy, right?”
In addition to Moore and Qualley, The Substance stars Dennis Quaid and Gore Abrams.
