AnnaSophia Robb’s attendance at Chanel and Tribeca’s Women’s luncheon during the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival demonstrated how much her portrayal of Carrie Bradshaw in The Carrie Diaries influenced her style.
Wearing socks with heels has long been a controversial fashion statement. While some consider it tacky and a fashion faux pas, others think it’s chic and modern. Pairing such can be pretty challenging for me, too. To pull it off, though, I think it comes down to confidence and a sense of style. Needless to say, AnnaSophia Robb has both!

AnnaSophia’s Perspective on Height and Perception
“Everyone always says that guys are intimidated by me,” she told Teen Vogue in 2013, “but I seriously doubt it. I mean, I’m five-foot-nothing!”
“I think I must make a stank face,” she joked. “I loved high school,” AnnaSophia added.
“Everyone always asks me if the other kids treated me differently because of my career, but they didn’t. If you act weird, people are going to treat you weird, but if you’re just yourself, people respond to that.

NBC is keeping its new Suits hanging a while longer.
The network on Friday announced its schedule for the 2024-25 TV season, and the offshoot Suits: L.A. — which has yet to receive a series order — was notably absent from the lineup. However, the pilot is still in contention, with a decision to be made at a later date after execs screen the episode in June. If picked up to series, Suits: L.A. could air midseason or roll over to the 2025-26 season, the network notes.

Sex and the City was a smash hit for HBO. Premiering in 1998, the series ran for six seasons, spawned two movies (although we'd prefer to forget that the second one ever came out), and a prequel series (The Carrie Diaries on The CW).
And while there was great excitement over And Just Like That..., the reboot was somewhat marred from the outset with the harassment allegations against Chris Noth, the lack of Samantha (Kim Cattrall), and the introduction of the polarizing Che Diaz.
The series has expanded its circle of friends from the original, bringing in Seema, Nya, and Lisa as foils and sidekicks for Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte, respectively.
Long-time fans enjoyed seeing Anthony find a new partner and learning more about Stanford's life in Japan. Season 2 of And Just Like That... also saw much growth from our leading ladies.
Carrie found and then lost Aidan, at least for the time being.

Apple TV+ series “Masters of the Air” is the third collaboration from the team behind HBO’s “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.” Trio Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Steven Spielberg produced the nine-part World War II epic series, which spotlights the men who fought in the 8th Air Force, specifically the men of the 100th Bomb Group. The vivid and vital story finds roots in the book of the same name by Donald L. Miller.
The crew of a typical Eighth Air Force heavy bomber plane included ten men — a pilot and his co-pilot flying the B17, the navigator and the bombardier in the machine’s nose, the flight engineer behind the pilot, the radio operator, two waist gunners, a ball turret gunner and a tail gunner. Not to mention the men who strategized from the bases, the plane engineers and Tuskegee airmen or Royal Airforce pilots who feature in this story.

The Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg-produced World War II series Masters of the Air has something that its predecessors did not: a bona fide movie star in the lead role. Thanks to his award-winning role as the King himself in 2022’s Elvis, Austin Butler has burst onto the scene as a major acting force. And he brings that gravitas with him to portray Gale “Buck” Cleven in the nine-episode Apple TV+ series about WWII bomber pilots.
Cleven is the perfect role for the brooding Butler – a quiet, confident figure that the rest of his crew looks up to. Cleven also serves as the culmination of years of work for the actor just as much as the Elvis Presley gig did. As a teen, Butler made the Disney and Nickelodeon TV show circuit via a mix of one-off and recurring roles on Zoey 101, Hannah Montana, iCarly, Wizards of Waverly Place,...

When Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage launched The O.C. in 2003, it would change TV — and teen dramas — forever.
It’s a winding journey that the duo captured with the help of Alan Sepinwall, Rolling Stone’s chief TV critic, in Welcome to The O.C.: The Oral History. Across 11 chapters — and a prologue that teases the wild ride — the trio, along with the cast, writers, crew members, producers, journalists, fans and studio and network executives, trace the show from its early origins to its very last days on set, and beyond.
Not only would the show bring Savage and Schwartz together in what has become one of TV’s most fruitful partnerships with Fake Empire Productions, but it would go on to inspire a library of young adult shows, from Gossip Girl (and its reboot) and The Carrie Diaries to Marvel’s Runaways and Looking for Alaska; multiple reality...

Austin Butler is reflecting on his time filming The Bikeriders, including the memorable and dangerous moments.
During a recent conversation with Josh Brolin for Interview Magazine, the Elvis star chatted about the upcoming Jeff Nichols-directed movie, which follows the rise of a Midwestern motorcycle club through the lives of its members.
“There’s such a trust as well, when we’d be in these groups of 40, riding bikes down a tiny road, and you’re thinking, ‘If anybody were to crash right now, all of us would go down,'” Butler said. “And we’re not wearing helmets, riding through cornfields as fast as we can.”
Brolin, who is personally a big fan of motorcycles, proceeded to quip, “Doesn’t seem like the most sensible thing.”

For Sex and the City fans, it feels like Carrie Bradshaw has always been in Manhattan. Despite her knowledge of the city, the fictional sex columnist was not a born and raised New Yorker. While the original series didn’t delve too deeply into Carrie’s upbringing, and what she has said about her early life greatly deviates from The Carrie Diaries, we have a pretty good sense of exactly when she started her love affair with Manhattan. Carrie Bradshaw moved to Manhattan as a 20-something and never left.
When did Carrie Bradshaw move to Manhattan?
Carrie Bradshaw carved out a niche in Manhattan as a sex columnist after arriving in 1986. When Sex and the City began in 1998, Carrie was 32 years old, which means she was born in 1966. If she came to Manhattan in June 1986, she was headed into her 20s as she forged a new, independent life. According to Summer in the City,...

While Sex and the City was about friendship, at its core, there was plenty of dating and sex involved in the series, too, as the name suggests. Fans watched Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, Samantha Jones, and Charlotte York date their way through Manhattan for six seasons. There were countless dates and a handful of serious love interests. Not every date was a stud or a dud, though. Some of the men they dated were truly forgettable. We’ve collected four examples.
Carrie Bradshaw dated good men, bad men, and everything in between
Carrie Bradshaw never shied away from a date. While she had the longest love affairs in the show, she also had more than a couple of one-off dates. While some were truly interesting men, others were easy to forget.
Dr. Bradley Meego appeared in season 2 of Sex and the City. He was a doctor that Carrie met while at a book launch.

Sarah Jessica Parker Once Shared She Was Against Blake Lively’s Potential ‘Sex and the City’ Prequel
Sarah Jessica Parker has recently returned to the Sex and the City franchise with the Max sequel And Just Like That. But years prior, there were talks of a potential prequel to the series starring Blake Lively.
Sarah Jessica Parker didn’t like the idea of a ‘Sex and the City’ prequel Sarah Jessica Parker | Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic
Even after the Sex and the City series ended, the property itself continued to thrive. The television show spawned two successful theatrical releases, and soon afterwards there were rumblings of a prequel series being developed. But there weren’t too many Sex and the City alums that favored the idea. Sex and the City director Michael Patrick King, who had strong ties to the show, was firmly against the concept.
“The idea of going backwards and making [Carrie] less evolved … is something that I don’t even imagine doing,” King once told the Los Angeles Times.

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis are recalling how their infamous Sex and the City characters came to be.
During the recent Satc 25th anniversary special of the And Just Like That… The Writers Room podcast with sequel creator Michael Patrick King, the trio opens up about the audition process before the show’s 1998 debut.
Davis, who ended up taking on the role of gallerist Charlotte York, revealed that Satc creator Darren Star initially asked her to read for Carrie Bradshaw, telling her at the time, “We really wanted Sarah Jessica…[but] we don’t know if Sarah’s going to do it, so will you read for Carrie?”

Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis took to social media Tuesday to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Sex and the City.
On June 6, 1998, the world was introduced to four women — Carrie Bradshaw, Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes and Samantha Jones — as they navigate the dating scene in New York City and maintain their close friendship.
After six seasons, the hit HBO show ended in 2004. But the series’ popularity led to two films and two spinoffs, including And Just Like That, which sees Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda taking on life in their 50s, and The Carrie Diaries, which followed Carrie’s journey through high school.
Nixon shared a throwback photo of her character followed by a recent one on Instagram, writing in the caption, “How it started, how it’s going for Miranda Hobbes.”
Her post continued, “I cannot believe Sex and the City premiered 25 years ago today. Before the...

After The CW renewed Walker for a shortened fourth season, it was inevitable the news would not be good for the prequel series Walker: Independence.
The network officially canceled Walker: Independence Tuesday night, months after the freshman season was capped at 13 episodes.
Admittedly, interest in Walker: Independence paled compared to the original series, but the numbers were still substantial -- by CW standards.
With a week of DVR viewing factored in, Walker: Independence Season 1 averaged just under one million viewers and a 0.1 rating in the demo.
It ranked as the network's #4 most-watched series among total viewers, which was a decent metric.
Set in the late 1800s, the series followed Abby Walker, an affluent and tough-minded Bostonian whose husband was murdered before her eyes while on their journey out West.
After crossing paths with Calian, a curious Apache tracker, Abby arrived in the town of Independence, Texas, where she encountered diverse...

During Sex and the City’s illustrious run, we learned surprisingly little about the core four’s families. Sure, we learned a bit about Charlotte York and Miranda Hobbes’ background. Still, Carrie Bradshaw and Samantha Jones’ pasts were mostly shrouded in mystery, especially any collegiate life they may have had. Believe it or not, it might not be that big of a mystery. We did learn where Carrie Bradshaw was accepted to college. Carrie was an Ivy League girl, or almost was, just like Miranda.
Carrie Bradshaw was accepted into Brown University
While Carrie never spoke much about her life before Manhattan, there is plenty of information to consume if you consider The Carrie Diaries as part of Carrie’s actual story. Some fans do, while others do not. If you think The Carrie Diaries is part of Sex and the City canon, then Summer in the City, Candace Bushnell’s 2011 prequel young adult novel,...

Austin Butler will star in Sony 3000 Pictures’ adaptation of “City on Fire.” The Don Winslow-penned novel, the first in a series, uses elements of “The Iliad,” “The Odyssey,” “Aeneid” and other Greek dramas and puts them in a contemporary crime sandbox. Butler will play Danny Ryan, a street criminal-turned-ruthless leader amid a gang war between Irish and Italian crime families in New England.
The film will mark the actor’s first role since his Oscar-nominated for playing Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis,” as well as his first as a producer. Butler will produce the picture alongside David Heyman and Shane Salerno.
3000 Pictures exec Drew Reed was instrumental in tracking the series, while Elizabeth Gabler and Marisa Paiva are overseeing for the studio. All parties hope that the first film will be successful enough to justify feature film adaptations of the next two novels in the series.

Austin Butler may have been swinging his hips (and arguably losing his natural voice) as the King of Rock ‘n Roll for Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis,” but the Oscar-nominated actor has been a chameleon onscreen for close to two decades.
Starting off in Disney Channel and Nickelodeon tween series like “Hannah Montana” and “Zoey 101,” Butler got his start back in 2005 as a teen star before working with major directors such as Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino.
“I was sort of embarrassed about some of the things that I had to do,” Butler admitted in 2022. “But I had to cut my teeth somewhere, so I decided to treat each one of these jobs as a way to grow.”
Butler made his TV debut with back-to-back roles in “Hannah Montana,” “iCarly,” and “Zoey 101,” before later joining The CW dramas “Life Unexpected” and “Switched at Birth.” Butler then joined the “Sex and the City...

In November, Austin Butler was in Cincinnati on the set of Jeff Nichols’ film, “The Bikeriders.” He was shooting a scene with co-stars Tom Hardy and Michael Shannon that involved Shannon delivering a two-page monologue. Butler found himself lost in the moment, watching his fellow actor. “Jeff called cut and Mike walks away,” Butler recalls. “And Tom turns to me goes, ‘It doesn’t get any better than that.’”
Butler says Hardy was referencing Shannon’s performance, which he says, “wasn’t even watching an actor, it was watching a human being living in front of you.”
The 31-year-old actor could also be referring to the past year of his life, which found his career launched from roles in shows including “Zoey 101” and “The Carrie Diaries” into a bona-fide, world-famous movie star thanks to his turn in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.” And not just any movie star, but the...

Despite representing Germany at this year’s Academy Awards for best international feature, “All Quiet on the Western Front” writer-director Edward Berger doesn’t feel national pride for the country.
“I don’t feel that because of the history,” Berger tells Variety. “I could never say I’m proud to be German. Those words don’t fit into our mouths, and rightly so. I would have a hard time thinking I would represent the country because I can’t speak for the entire country.”
On this episode of Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast, Berger discusses “All Quiet on the Western Front’s” nine Oscar noms — the second most of the year — and employing the most artisans of any non-English movie in history. Finally, he shares why he feels a responsibility to accurately portray Germany’s role in some of humanity’s most devastating wars. Listen to the full podcast below.

Austin Butler’s agent told him he would need to gain weight to play the older version of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis.” “I heard that Ryan Gosling when he was going to do ‘The Lovely Bones,’ had microwaved Häagen-Dazs and would drink it,” Butler tells Variety. “So I started doing that. I would go get two dozen doughnuts and eat them all. I really started to pack on some pounds. It’s fun for a week, and then you feel awful about yourself. But we were planning on shooting chronologically in the beginning. That quickly went out the window with Covid. It was just impossible.”
On this week’s episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast, Butler sits down to discuss receiving his first Oscar nomination for best actor. He also discusses renting an apartment after the Warner Bros. corporate cards were shut off following the Covid shutdown.

Austin Butler’s voice is still a topic of conversation months after Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis was released.
While on Friday’s episode of The Graham Norton Show, the Oscar-nominated actor explained that due to all the singing in the film, he probably “destroyed my voice a bit.”
“My vocal cords, it’s a lot raspier now,” he added. “I just trained a lot, you know, and then it turned out that I ended up doing all the singing for that early stuff.”
Since the release of the film in June 2022, Butler has received a great deal of commentary on his voice from people claiming he still sounds like the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, the character in which he portrayed in the award-winning movie.

Austin Butler could have been a contender for Hannah Montana’s heart.
The “Elvis” Golden Globe winner reflected on the intensity he would bring to Disney and Nickelodeon roles, most famously as a suitor for Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) in the eponymous hit TV series. Butler starred in two episodes of “Hannah Montana,” with his second appearance playing Derek Hanson, Hannah’s blind date in Season 2 Episode 7, titled “My Best Friend’s Boyfriend.”
He additionally had roles in “iCarly” and “Zoey 101,” both of which landed modern-day revival series.
“I look back on the Nickelodeon and Disney shows that I did; even though my skill wasn’t there, I still wanted to give the energy [as if] I was going to make ‘Raging Bull,'” Butler told Backstage magazine. “I kept that fierce dedication toward trying to find more truth, even in things where it could be easier to just phone it in.

Social media was abuzz when the actor took the stage to make his acceptance speech. Many viewers noticed that Butler’s voice still sounded like Elvis Presley, despite not being in character anymore.
When Butler met with reporters backstage at the Globes, he was asked about the persistent Presley accent.
“Still?” he said before adding, “I don’t think I sound like him still but I guess I must because I hear it a lot.”
Butler continued, “I often liken it to when somebody lives in another country for a long time, and I had three years where that was my only focus in life, so I’m sure there’s just pieces of my DNA that will always be linked in that way.” See...

“Saturday Night Live’s” final show of the season started on a sweet note, as host Austin Butler tenderly recalled watching the late-night comedy show with his late mother, Lori Anne Howell.
“I love my mom, some of my favorite memories from growing up was watching ‘SNL’ every week,” and even though he had this “crippling shyness,” he would do anything to make her laugh — including an imitation of Gollum from “Lord of the Rings.”
Being silly with her, he said, is “what broke me out of my shell” and inspired his drive to be an actor. Butler, who got his start as a child actor on both Nickelodeon and Disney Channel shows, played Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s hit biopic, “Elvis.”

“I do want to address something. There’s people out there who say that ever since I’ve played Elvis my voice has changed — that it got deeper, more Elvis-y,” he said. “But that’s not true, I’ve always sounded like this and I can prove it. Here’s a clip from an interview I did 10 years ago.”

Exclusive: Michael Beach (Dahmer: Monster), Joshua Colley (Senior Year) and Lindsey Gort (All Rise) have joined the cast of Dead Boy Detectives, HBO Max’s upcoming drama series based on the DC Comics characters created by Neil Gaiman, in key recurring roles. The series hails from The Flight Attendant’s Steve Yockey, Doom Patrol’s Jeremy Carver, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television. Beach, Colley and Gort join series stars George Rexstrew, Jayden Revri and Kassius Nelson.
The eight-part series is a ghost story that explores loss, grief, and death through the lens of Edwin Payne (Rexstrew) and Charles Rowland (Revri), two dead British teenagers, and their very alive friend, Crystal Palace (Nelson). So, it’s a lot like a vintage detective series — only darker and on acid.
Beach plays Tragic Mick, a melancholy walrus trapped in a human body who helps the Dead Boys out sometimes.
Colley plays Monty,...

Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy will star in “Loving” and “Take Shelter” director Jeff Nichols’ next feature, Variety has confirmed.
Titled “The Bikeriders” after the 1967 Danny Lyon photography book, the film tells an original story about a ’60s midwestern motorcycle club as it evolves over the course of a decade from a community for outsiders into a far more sinister gang.

Sarah Green and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones will produce via Tri-State with Nichols, alongside New Regency. Fred Berger executive produces. The film will begin production in Cincinnati, Ohio this October.

From the Top Gun and Jurassic Park sequels to the Toy Story spinoff, the past month at the box office has been one fueled by nostalgia. Now, the nostalgia train continues, not with a sequel or spinoff, but with Elvis, the first feature biopic about the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. As for audiences more in the mood for shivering than shimmying, they can dial into The Black Phone, the latest from horror practitioner Scott Derrickson. While neither film is expected to top the charts, the month is still ending on a positive note as the top four titles this weekend should all come in above 20 million, which would be the first time for this to happen since November 2018.
45 years after Elvis Presley’s tragic death at Graceland, he finally gets a lavish biopic with Warner Bros.’ Elvis. The King’s life story is being given the Baz Luhrmann treatment,...
