Friends star Matthew Perry leaves behind a legacy of perfect comedic timing. Sadly, he died in October 2023. While reports suggest Perry hoped to have a wife and kids someday, he never married — though he considered engagement with his longtime girlfriend and fellow actor, Lizzy Caplan. Here’s what Caplan told Perry after their failed romance.
Matthew Perry says his ex, Lizzy Caplan, said she had ‘no room’ for him in her life after she got engaged
Matthew Perry and Lizzy Caplan had a longstanding relationship of nearly six years. They began dating in 2006 when Perry crashed her 23rd birthday party. They went on to date until 2012. While Perry planned on getting down on one knee for Caplan, he never did, which may have played into the demise of their romance.

For writers and actors on strike, producers rank high among unlikely Hollywood allies. After all, the AMPTP is the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, with “producers” becoming a natural shorthand for the many studios, conglomerates, and publicly traded companies now playing hardball.
Indie producers, who would like you to know that is not the case, are now fighting to change what they believe is a narrative mastered by the AMPTP. If producers were to unionize, it would cost AMPTP members millions in healthcare, pension, and residuals. Producer Brent Emery (“The Stanford Prison Experiment”) believes the AMPTP undercuts the producers’ efforts by confusing the public — i.e., the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers sounds like it includes, well, all producers. So how could there be the need for a producers’ union?

When “Euphoria” was building an audience, the scene that became its calling card was one from the third episode of the HBO drama, where teen addict Rue (Zendaya) desperately bangs on the door of Fezco (Angus Cloud), who viewers quickly understand to be both one of her oldest friends and the drug dealer that provided her painkiller fix.
As Fez refuses to allow her into his home, saying “I’m not going to help you kill yourself, Rue,” Zendaya proves why she won the Emmy, skillfully cycling through the anger, bargaining, and hopelessness that comes with having to feed a drug addiction at such a young age. But Cloud just as well proves in his first ever dramatic scene that he has a lived-in quality that seems to only come to an actor naturally. Though he maybe says 10 words within the two-and-a-half minute clip, his bright blue eyes, which one could only describe as soulful,...

From day one of filming "Joy Ride," Sherry Cola, Ashley Park, Stephanie Hsu, and Sabrina Wu stepped onto set as a family. Dropped into the middle of a whirlwind drug smuggling operation in the film, the cast found themselves in the wilderness, laughing and screaming as they painted a chaotic story of found family and friendship.
Their own friendship was forged during late-night shoots in the freezing cold and long afternoons spent rehearsing their K-pop choreography. "We're all just, like, so chaotic in the best way, you know. We all speak the same language of chaos," Cola tells Popsugar as part of our Apia Heritage Month package celebrating friendship. "I really hope there's a gag reel because we couldn't stop laughing. There are so many moments that I just remember, like, not keeping it together.

It’s hard to imagine a Selling Sunset season without at least one Oppenheim broker causing totally unnecessary drama. Thankfully, we have Nicole Young for that in season 6, but at one point, Davina Potratz seemed to be the one causing a few problems on the popular Netflix show. Specifically, let’s not forget when she questioned Chrishell Stause’s story about her divorce from Justin Hartley way back at the show’s start, suggesting that there are “two sides” to every situation. Of course, it rubbed Chrishell — and viewers — the wrong way, and since Davina was always close with Christine Quinn, some fans became a bit cold toward Davina.
She was a pretty prominent cast member for the show’s first five seasons but has seemingly disappeared for its sixth, with the exception of an occasional one-liner and a few seconds of screen time sparsely dispersed throughout the show. What happened?...

Little House on the Prairie alum Melissa Gilbert and husband Thirtysomething actor Timothy Busfield bought a cabin in the Catskills in 2019. Since then, Gilbert and Busfield have dedicated themselves to a slower, more natural lifestyle. They raise chickens, grow vegetables, and enjoy the quiet of the mountains. But why did they make such a drastic change?

Though the “little house” in the Catskills is now the couple’s main place of residence, it started out as a vacation home for them to escape to when they wanted to leave the hustle and bustle of the city.

Matthew McConaughey didn’t come out of his Dazed and Confused days as an immediate leading man.
Though an established actor, it took a while for many to consider McConaughey a star. But a Sandra Bullock feature helped establish McConaughey as a headliner.

McConaughey may have had two breakthroughs in his career. His first breakthrough came when he scored a memorable role in the Richard Linklater project Dazed and Confused. The film would help launch his film career, but his second breakthrough would officially launch him into movie star status.
A Time to Kill was a 1996 drama that starred McConaughey as a fresh-faced lawyer attempting to successfully defend a client accused of murder. It featured an ensemble cast that included Samuel L. Jackson and Sandra Bullock.

Cole Sprouse began acting when he was 6 months old and has been in the public eye ever since. While his roles came with some hefty paychecks, Sprouse also gave up a lot. Now, Sprouse is saying that he “pretty much lost everything” he made from his early roles because of his mom.
Cole Sprouse’s early career
Cole Sprouse entered the world of acting alongside his identical twin brother, Dylan. The two shared almost all of their roles.

However, these days it could also be used to describe Roy’s real-life counterpart Brett Goldstein, whose fame has skyrocketed thanks to his appearance as the foul-mouthed but lovable footballer.
Ted Lasso has been a critical part of Goldstein’s career. However, it’s entertaining to know he didn’t have much hope for its success at first.

Nicolas Cage’s career takes a turn for the metatextual in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. The 2022 movie, which also stars Pedro Pascal, incorporates large parts of the actor’s filmography and on-screen persona into an outlandish story about passion, fandom, and a plot to take down an international arms dealer. Director and co-writer Tom Gormican’s willingness to mix reality and fiction didn’t stop with the script. A disagreement between Cage and Pascal over the appearance of a prop made it into the final cut of the film.

Despite still being one of the most recognizable child stars of all time, Macaulay Culkin prefers to stay out of the spotlight these days. In a rare interview, Culkin opened up about his childhood acting in hit movies and how stories about him “divorcing” his parents were blown way out of proportion.

Culkin began acting when he was just 4 years old, appearing onstage and in small parts in TV shows and movies. His big break came with 1989’s Uncle Buck, but it wasn’t until the following year, with the release of Home Alone, that Culkin became a household name.

Pedro Pascal is really crushing it. He’s not only playing Joel Miller in HBO’s The Last of Us, but he’s also back as everyone’s favorite Din Djarin in Disney’s Star Wars: The Mandalorian. And while he’s been on TV for a while, it was his role as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones that really put him on the map.
Many fans will remember Pascal for his character’s epic fight with Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson), but the actor’s favorite day on the set of HBO’s hit fantasy actually included Charles Dance, a naked woman, and a low-key game of Words With Friends.
