Ruth Landers, who created the 1990s PBS kids show The Huggabug Club with her daughters, actresses Audrey Landers and Judy Landers, has died. She was 85.
A longtime resident of Sarasota, Florida, Landers died April 18 of natural causes, her family announced.
Audrey Landers, 67, portrayed Afton Cooper on Dallas on and off for seven seasons and played the dancer Val Clarke in the 1985 big-screen version of A Chorus Line, directed by Richard Attenborough. Judy Landers, 65, was on such TV shows as Vega$, B.J. and the Bear and Madam’s Place.
Aimed at preschoolers, The Huggabug Club featured Audrey as Miss Audrey and Judy as Miss Judy, working opposite full-bodied puppets. Filled with songs and scripts written by Audrey, it aired on PBS from January 1995 to June 1997, followed by years of reruns.
Ruth also produced Ghost Writer (1989), featuring her daughters; Club Fed (1990), starring Judy; and California Casanova (1991), starring Audrey; and executive produced...

Josh Sawyer’s Fallout: New Vegas is widely regarded as one of the best games in the Fallout series as well as one of the best RPG games of all time. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks, Fallout: New Vegas was a spin-off of the main Fallout series but still shared some elements from the main series. It’s nearly impossible to tell how gamers would react to certain mechanics of a video game before its release, but Fallout: New Vegas‘ director Josh Sawyer explained that it is purely based on “vibes.”

Most games in the market right now go through various testing phases, but Sawyer explained that in terms of ability and weapon balance, he doesn’t focus much on player feedback as it simply “doesn’t really matter to him.” He admitted that conducting a simulation before the final release would be beneficial,...

Horror movies are often intense experiences, sometimes not just for the audience but also for the cast and crew making them behind-the-scenes. From maintaining raw emotions on high for effective performances to less than ideal filming conditions, making a horror movie can be grueling work, to the point that some actors occasionally regret starring in them.
On top of the heightened rigors of the job, the attention to gruesome detail in capturing such visceral material can literally make the actors on set sick to their stomachs. There are numerous horror movies that went so hard that they made the actors involved physically ill during the production. This ranges from the physical extremes of method acting and abusively megalomaniacal directors to actors becoming severely sick during filming. However, no matter the ailment, the show must go on, often with those afflicted actors' performances in the final film. Here are the biggest...

Richard Leibner, the prominent talent agent who transformed the TV news business by guiding the careers of such renowned broadcast journalists as Dan Rather, Diane Sawyer, Mike Wallace, Andy Rooney and Norah O’Donnell, has died. He was 85.
Leibner died Tuesday at his home in New York, UTA vice chairman Jay Sures announced. The agent started out in the 1960s at New York-based N.S. Bienstock, which was acquired in 2014 by UTA.
Leibner also signed and represented the likes of Morley Safer, Ed Bradley, Bob Simon, Steve Kroft, Bill Whitaker, Chuck Scarborough, Paula Zahn, Brian Stelter, Daniel Schorr and Fareed Zakaria before he retired in December 2021 after 58 years in the business.
“Decades ago, he made it his personal mission to see that big name news stars should be treated and compensated like traditional movie and television stars,” Sures told staffers in a memo obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.

Richard Leibner, a celebrated talent agent who represented some of the best-known anchors in TV news, first at a firm he helped build and then for UTA, died Tuesday after a battle with cancer. He was 85 years old.
In his time, Leibner served as an agent and adviser to Dan Rather, Mike Wallace, Ed Bradley, Morley Safer, Bob Simon, Steve Kroft, Bill Whitaker, Diane Sawyer, Chuck Scarborough, Paula Zahn, Brian Stelter and Fareed Zakaria, among others. He was a passionate advocate for clients, and was never been shy about delivering his opinion of the latest goings-on in the ever-churning news sector.

This could be the first glimpse at Maggie's next chapter.
The theme of FBI Season 6 Episode 5 was parenthood.
Now we know why Jessica, Maggie's old friend from Quantico whom she'd never before mentioned, was introduced on FBI Season 6 Episode 4.
At first, it appeared Jessica was merely a one-off in an episode focusing on the travails faced by Muslim law-enforcement agents.
But no. She was back sharing gal talk with Maggie while on the gun range because that's what long-separated agent friends do.
Apparently, Jessica had what Maggie had decided she wanted: a child without bothering herself with finding the right man.
Yes, it's that old standby. Maggie's biological clock is ticking. And, thanks to modern medicine, she doesn't need a guy to make that happen.
How do we know that's the case? From her wistful glances and her emotional words throughout the rest of the episode.
Why might this not be a great idea?...

Which do you prefer when it comes to crazy, maniacal, downright dirty and savage families looking to chop up some grade-a human flesh? I guess, it all comes down to personal preference, but isn’t preference drawing a fine line between comparing and downgrading the other? Well, you’re in luck, because another horror movie rip-off is in tow, and this time it brings the flesh by the pound, or pounds? I think it’s the latter. Today, we’re going to be discussing, a little bit of comparing, and see who claims victor, while the other takes the road less traveled in 2003’s Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses (watch it Here), and Tobe Hooper’s 1986 follow-up in the Leatherface mythos, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (watch it Here). Both are delightful, both are cult classics, ad both stack up well against each other. But who takes the cake,...

It's rare that viewers still don't know the truth by the end of an hour of Law & Order.
But Law & Order Season 23 Episode 2 featured an accused murderer who claimed a billionaire went to a ton of trouble to frame him and a last-minute security video that may or may not have been faked, and no clues as to who was telling the truth.
As the credits rolled, Price worried about how he was supposed to do his job when the lines between real and fake were so blurred, leaving viewers to scratch their heads about what the truth was here.
That was the point, of course.
This story bordered on dystopian, featuring AI technology so good that it was impossible to tell whether a video was real or fake. It imposed that confusion on viewers to make its point.

Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, the mother of popular rapper Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, more commonly known to the public by her stage name Doja Cat, has filed a restraining order against her son Raman Dalithando Dlamini, claiming that he has been physically and verbally abusing herself and her daughter.
Sawyer is concerned about her safety and the safety of her family. She claims that Doja Cat has had her teeth knocked out by Dlamini and that she needed protection from him.
Additionally, Sawyer claimed that her son left her daughter with cuts and bruises and stole some of her possessions. She also said that Dlamini’s behavior has left them feeling “unsafe and traumatized.”
Sawyer’s request for a temporary restraining order against her son was granted by a judge, but the judge said that the request would only be granted for Sawyer herself and if Doja Cat would like her own restraining order,...

Anna Strasberg, an actress and the widow of famed acting coach Lee Strasberg who wound up inheriting the bulk of Marilyn Monroe’s estate, has died. She was 84.
Strasberg died Saturday in New York City of natural causes, a publicist for The Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute told The Hollywood Reporter. She co-founded the institute and served as artistic director and “visionary leader” at the home of the Method acting approach.
“Anna ensured that The Institute became a beacon for aspiring actors and remains a cherished space for artistic exploration and growth,” a statement said. “Her lifelong commitment to The Method and unwavering devotion to The Institute have left an indelible mark on the world of acting and the countless talented people she inspired.
“Her presence will be dearly missed, but her legacy lives on through The Method and every class of passionate students.”
Monroe died at age 36 on Aug.

Playing as the Family in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre arguably entails a steeper learning curve than playing as the Victims. Many will argue that matches are tipped in favor of the Family, and that they’re given more tools to wreak havoc on the Victims than Victims have to escape. However, it takes time, trial and error, and team synergy to best utilize those tools–otherwise, Victims will literally run circles around you as they escape. As such, here are the best tips that I can impart after my many successes (and failures) while playing as the Family.
Your Top Priority Should Always Be to Protect Objectives and Secure the Property
I know you may be thinking–my top priority should be to kill the Victims! But ultimately, the one thing that will prevent you from getting the Victims is an escape route opening up. The moment that a fuse-box is opened,...

While the industry as a whole felt more downs than ups this year, horror films continued to be a consistent attraction overall. While the studio hits were not quite as splashy as they were 2022, the year saw the birth of new franchises (M3GAN, The Pope’s Exorcist, Talk to Me, Thanksgiving), the revitalization of the reliable favorites (Evil Dead Rise, Insidious: The Red Door, The Nun II), and reminded us just how essential writers, actors, and the all the creatives both in front of the camera and behind it are to making any of this not only work, but sell.
As for the big horror trend this year, controversy was thy name. While there were a few entries critics and audiences were able to rally around, most of them drew conflicting opinions — which this list is surely proof of.

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the events of the original The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the 20th anniversary of the release of the remake, and also the tenth anniversary of an entry in the franchise that has less fans than those two just mentioned: Texas Chainsaw 3D (watch it Here). Recently, our friends at Bloody Disgusting sat down for an interview with one of the film’s writers, Adam Marcus, and during their chat Marcus revealed that the movie lost its cannibalism due to the box office failure of The Midnight Meat Train and lost a couple massacres due to the lower-than-expected budget.
Directed by John Luessenhop and sporting a story credited to Stephen Susco, Adam Marcus, and Debra Sullivan, and a screenplay by Marcus, Sullivan, and Kirsten Elms, Texas Chainsaw 3D has the following synopsis: Decades ago, residents of Newt, Texas, long suspected that the Sawyer family was responsible for the disappearances of many people.

Matthew Perry‘s death has reportedly profoundly affected all of his Friends co-stars. However, a source says Jennifer Aniston has been “knocked off her feet” by her longtime friend’s passing. Here are the details.
A source says Jennifer Aniston’s friends are ‘worried’ about her
Page Six reports a well-placed industry source claims Jennifer Aniston has taken co-star Matthew Perry‘s death very hard. They say those close to Aniston are “worried” about her.
“Out of the remaining five, Jen and Courteney [Cox] are reeling the most. But Jen is probably the one who is struggling most acutely,” said the source to Page Six.
“It’s a second massive loss in less than a year, with the first anniversary of her dad’s death just around the corner. She still hasn’t fully regained her footing, and now this has just completely knocked her off her feet.”

January will mark one year since Jeremy Renner was caught in a near-fatal snowplow accident that crushed more than 30 bones in his body as he attempted to save his nephew. His recovery from the incident has spanned this entire year as he worked with doctors to address chest trauma and other injuries. In the months since, the actor has started to think differently about life and taking care of his mental health as much as his physical health.

Britney Spears's memoir is both a horror story and a cautionary tale. There's a lot to take away from it, but at its core, it's a story about a woman whose bodily autonomy was essentially stripped from her at a young age - by her parents, by the media, by her partners, and by the world at large.
"The Woman in Me" is definitely Spears's story, but it's also a story that's been repeated in various forms many times before. After reading it, sitting in a state of semi-shock while digesting the horrors Spears went through, I found myself thinking of Andrew Dominik's nightmarish 2022 film, "Blonde," which portrays a dramatized version of Marilyn Monroe's life. That film arguably exploited Monroe's legacy and repeated some of the same mistakes it tried to criticize, but it also tells the story of a woman whose appearance was commodified...

Just a year before Matthew Perry was found dead, the Friends star was the subject of an hour-long sit-down interview with Diane Sawyer about his memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing.
In the special and in other media appearances to promote his book, Perry spoke about his past struggles with addiction but indicated he was doing well and seemed optimistic about his future.
In a separate interview with The New York Times, Perry said he had been sober for 18 months and had “probably spent $9 million or something trying to get sober” after dealing with addictions to alcohol and opioids.
In the book and the promotion thereof, Perry recalled how at the height of his addiction, during his later years on Friends, he was taking 55 Vicodin pills a day. And he recalled going to open houses to steal pills out of strangers’ medicine cabinets.

Looking back, one of the things that arguably made "Friends" so successful was how perfect of a job the producers did with casting. We aren't just talking in terms of talent, but age, too! The series was about a group of friends in their late 20s and early 30s living, laughing, and loving in New York City, and the actors who were about that age, too. Often, real events that happened to the actors - like Lisa Kudrow's pregnancy - were incorporated into the plot of the show.
Plus, the young cast ended up spending a lot of time together and forging deep relationships. Their bond was still deeply apparent during the 2021 "Friends" reunion. Matthew Perry, who played Chandler, also talked about how he had a crush on all his women costars during a previous interview with Diane Sawyer. He told Sawyer that he actually asked Jennifer Aniston out before filming,...

Britney Spears said her post-Justin Timberlake breakup interview with Diane Sawyer was a “breaking point” for her.
The pop icon recalled in her new memoir, The Woman in Me, according to The New York Times, being “devastated” by their split, which he initiated over text message. She added that she even fantasized about quitting the entertainment industry.
Spears and the ‘N Sync alum had dated for three years after initially getting together in 1999 following her tour with the boy band. Their relationship ended in 2002.
But following their split, Spears said what made it even more difficult was the media portraying her as a “harlot who’d broken the heart of America’s golden boy,” when in reality, “I was comatose in Louisiana, and he was happily running around Hollywood.”
She specifically recounts seeing Timberlake’s music video “Cry Me a River” for the first time, which she described as...

There are a lot of Stephen King adaptations out in the world; some are fantastic, others are… not so great. One that lands in the not-so-great category is The Langoliers, the 1995 miniseries based on the novella by Stephen King. However, just because one adaptation failed doesn’t mean somebody can’t try again, and The Boogeyman director Rob Savage has previously expressed a desire to tackle a remake of The Langoliers.
Related King on Screen Review
While speaking with ComicBook.com, Rob Savage said that while the issue of the rights are still being dealt with, he thinks there’s a “good shot” he’s able to bring The Langoliers to life.
“There’s a bit of naughtiness when it comes to the rights, but I think hopefully we’ll be able to sort it out,” Savage said. “We’ve got such a great idea for developing that one out from the short story.

For many, Cyberpunk 2077‘s 2.0 update is the excuse they’ve been looking for to either finally play the now largely fixed and improved game or simply enjoy the best version of that experience possible. However, anyone beginning a fresh Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 playthrough will need to start their journey by picking one of three Lifepaths for their characters. For new players, this choice is as mysterious and daunting as ever. However, even returning players are wondering if 2.0 did anything to change these Lifepaths in any way.
Well, for what it’s worth, I can tell you that 2.0 doesn’t seem to have directly changed any of the Lifepath options in any notable way. However, it has indirectly affected those options in some slightly smaller ways (mostly for good). Furthermore, the differences between the Lifepaths are as ambiguous as ever, which makes now a pretty great time to go over how each...

Hallmark has revealed that it will have 40 all-new, original movies for both its flagship channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, as well as special content for Hallmark Movies Now, the company’s subscription streaming service.

When Apple TV+ first launched, one of its marquee shows was undoubtedly "The Morning Show." Starring Steve Carell, Jennifer Aniston, and Reese Witherspoon as the anchors of a popular morning talk show in trouble, it quickly gained notice for its star-studded cast as much as for its deliberate parallels to the upheavals in real-life broadcast journalism of the time.
Over the seasons, the series has become less directly based on real-life events, but echoes of familiar stories still remain.
Is "The Morning Show" Based on a True Story?
When the first season of "The Morning Show" debuted in 2019, it centered on a badly behaved, popular man anchor on a beloved morning show, which seemed almost ripped from the headlines. Mitch Kessler, the fictional anchor in hot water (played by Carell), is at the center of a sexual misconduct scandal, including the discovery of a remote "close door" button under his office desk.

Despite being based on a fifty-year-old film, Gun Interactive’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has proven to be a bona fide hit, boasting over a million unique players during the first 24 hours of launch and being praised by critics as a more polished successor to their Friday the 13th adaptation. As a lifelong fan of the TCM franchise, I think this is amazing news, with the game’s popularity proving that there’s an active fanbase hungry for more Leatherface in popular media.
Of course, regardless of any initial success, the longevity of this new title depends on Gun’s commitment to regular updates – something that may be complicated by the fact that the developers have only managed to license the rights to the original 1974 film. With that in mind, we’ve decided to come up with a list highlighting six additions we’d love to see in future...

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre series has always been my favorite horror franchise, with every single one of these gnarly films boasting at least one unique (or absolutely bonkers) element even when the filmmakers stumble over garbled timelines and confusing retcons. That being said, fans of the original film are likely aware that the homicidal Leatherface was never actually meant to be a traditional slasher icon, with this child-like brute simply fulfilling a violent role that was thrust upon him by the real antagonist of the film – family.
Unfortunately, with the exception of Tobe Hooper’s underrated 1986 sequel, every subsequent entry in the series would continue to focus more on Leatherface as a cold-blooded murderer rather than the maniacal family that raised him. That’s not to say that the sequels didn’t present us with memorable additions to the extended clan (I’ll always be partial to Matthew McConaughey...

Stephen King’s novels and short stories are ready-made material for horror genre filmmakers to adapt and send the viewers into a labyrinth of terror. Many of his works are very well known. The new movie The Boogeyman, directed by Rob Savage, is based on King’s 1973 short story of the same name. It tells the story of the Harper family, which suffers terribly after the death of the mother. The father, a psychiatrist by the name of Will Harper, while struggling to deal with his own grief, starts to focus too much on his work and not enough on his two young girls. The elder, Sadie, drifts apart from her friends at school, and the younger one, Sawyer, starts to get terrified in her room at night. All this has to do with a sick man who came to see Will at his house. The characters are rich in their inner lives,...

Wellington, Aug 31 (Ians) Batter Kate Anderson and all-rounder Bella Armstrong have earned their maiden call-ups to the New Zealand women’s upcoming tour of South Africa in September, just two years after receiving Nzc Development contracts.
The selectors have pitched up two separate 15-player squads for a tour that comprises three ODIs and five T20Is, starting from September 24.
Anderson’s selection follows her most successful professional season, which saw her named Nzc’s Women’s Domestic Player of The Year and put her in line to tour Sri Lanka with the White Ferns in July before she was ruled out with a finger injury.
The 27-year-old smashed a chart-topping 536 runs at an average of 59 in the Super Smash, her run aggregate more than 100 clear of the next best female or male.
The 23-year-old Armstrong has been included in the T20I series only and will replace wicket-keeper Izzy Gaze,...
