'Bridgerton' Author Julia Quinn Reveals Anthony & Simon Are More Alike Than You Think
Saying goodbye is never easy, but Bridgerton fans must bid the Simon-era farewell as Anthony Bridgerton dives head first into the marriage mart to find himself the perfect viscountess in Season 2. With his expert brooding and sexy spoon-licking skills, the Duke of Hastings was the perfect regency hero, but he was never meant to be the show's primary romantic lead forever. Still, the news that the show was handing over the reigns to the eldest Bridgerton — who was little more than a pompous ra...

An Oral History Of 'Never Been Kissed's Iconic Big-Kiss Finale
20th Century Fox
In 1999, the rom-com classic Never Been Kissed sent awkward, 20something journalist named Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore) back to high school to uncover the truth about teen culture. She saw it as a second chance to get adolescence right, hanging with the cool kids and going to prom. Instead, she fell hard for her dreamy English teacher, Sam (Michael Vartan), and learned that being cool isn't all it's cracked up to be. 20 years after its release, the rom-com has become iconic, ...
It Wasn’t Love At First Sight For The Canine Stars Of The New ‘Lady And The Tramp’
Onscreen they look to the world as if they've always been puppies in love, but the canine stars of Disney+'s Lady and the Tramp didn't fall in love at first sight. Last November, Bustle visited the Savannah, Georgia set of the upcoming streaming film, where two of the movie's dog trainers, Mark Forbes and Mathilde de Cagney, revealed how the four-legged leads formed a bond after getting off to a rocky start.
Just like in the movie, Rose (Lady) and Monte (Tramp) come from two different worlds....

The One Book Scene ‘Bridgerton’ Author Julia Quinn Hopes Makes It Into The Show
The Bridgerton book series is full of beloved scenes fans hope make it into the Netflix adaptation, but there's one special scene author Julia Quinn is keeping her fingers crossed for.

Every Time 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Season 4 Referenced 'Gilmore Girls'
From the many denizens of Stars Hollow who popped in for guest appearances to a dig at The Twilight Zone, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 4 channeled Gilmore Girls at every turn. Since both shows were created by Amy Sherman-Palladino it stands to reason there will always be a few similarities between Midge and Lorelai's journeys even if they do take place several decades apart. However this season the Gilmore Girls references were absolutely everywhere.
Not only did actors like Kelly Bishop ...

Joe Alwyn Talks Winning a Grammy With Taylor Swift
The always private Joe Alwyn opened up about what it was like to win a Grammy with Taylor Swift, and his response was surprisingly candid. In a recent interview with The Guardian, the "Conversations With Friends" actor revealed that scoring a Grammy for his contributions to Swift's "Folklore" album was a "surreal bonus of lockdown." While the 31-year-old rarely discusses his relationship with one of the world's most famous pop stars, it seems he's not opposed to sharing a bit of insight into ...
