Grace Gummer Talks Finale, Jack Schlossberg’s Criticism

Grace Gummer Talks Finale, Jack Schlossberg’s Criticism

Published by Daniella Wilson

Grace Gummer had a competing offer for another show when Ryan Murphy stepped in and persuaded her to join his series chronicling the tragic romance between America’s prince, John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly), and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon). “He called me and was like, ‘What is this other show you’re doing? Why don’t you do our show? I promise, it’s going to be amazing,’” Gummer recalls. “He’s very, very direct; he knows what he wants, and he’s decisive and smart as hell. So I trust him.” The collaboration was hardly new territory, as the 40-year-old actress had worked with Murphy on American Horror Story: Coven, American Horror Story: Freak Show and, most recently, the first season of All’s Fair, opposite Kim Kardashian. Still, Love Story, from creator Connor Hines, presented what Gummer describes as one of her greatest challenges yet. “I think being the age that I am and having lived through what I’ve lived through put me in the best possible position to explore a character like Caroline Kennedy and to give …

‘The Pitt’ Star Noah Wyle Defends Dr. Robby’s Fall From Grace

‘The Pitt’ Star Noah Wyle Defends Dr. Robby’s Fall From Grace

Published by Sam Flores

Noah Wyle gets interrupted during our interview when someone from his team walks in with a prosthetic leg. It’s the one used in the sixth episode of The Pitt’s second season, which the actor directed, when a guy has a motorcycle accident that rips open his leg. As he holds it up to the camera so I can get a good look, a big smile spreads across his face. It’s just another day in the life of Wyle, who not only stars as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch on the hit HBO series, but is also one of the creative forces behind the series—producing, writing, and sometimes directing. When we speak, he’s deep in the writing process for season three. “What’s the opposite of fresh as a daisy?” he jokes about his current state of mind. He’s playing hooky from the writers room to talk to me, but the show is at the forefront of his mind. “Storylines are going up on the board. We have a good concept for everybody’s story arc and we’re about …

Exclusive: Grace Gummer Was an Earth Goddess Mother Warrior at the 2026 Met Gala

Emma Beiles Howie “Okay. She said, ‘You’re going to look like a badass elegant vision. I’m getting really excited,’” reads Gummer. “I said, ‘I’m beyond excited. Warrior. Helen of Troy vibes.’ And she said, “Ancient and futuristic vision. You are the empress. I will be your lady in waiting…the mother goddess loves us and she is chic as fuck.” Emma Beiles Howie Gummer walked the carpet with Hearst, who wore a black gown from her own collection. But while “golden goddess of past, present, and future” was on the mood board, there were also other elements at play. “The edges are raw,” Gummer notes. “It’s both raw and sophisticated. Together, like nature.” The gown, Gummer says, is a bit of a departure from what she typically wears. “The thing that does feel like me and something that I would go for fashion-wise is that it does show my body,” she says. “It’s very body-conscious, and it’s putting everything on display, but not in a grotesque, gratuitous way.” Given that the gala’s theme was about “embodied …

Exclusive: Camila Morrone Raced from the Age of Innocence Set to Channel Grace Kelly at the Met Gala 2026

Published by Sam Flores

Camila Morrone spent 24 hours in Prague last week, then another 48 in New York, before a day in Los Angeles over the weekend, from where she called in to talk about her 2026 Met Gala look. “It’s been the busiest pre-Met,” she says, “I wouldn’t say it’s been necessarily relaxing, but I like adrenaline and moving fast, so I’m happy.” Morrone has been on a roll since starring in Daisy Jones and the Six in 2023. She spent the last year and half on TV sets, she tells me, filming for The Night Manager, Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, both of which are out on Amazon and Netflix, respectively, and the much-anticipated The Age of Innocence, an adaptation of Edith Wharton’s Gilded Age-set novel from 1920. “I’m feeling really excited,” Morrone says of returning to the Costume Institute Benefit after two years. “I’ve been filming outside of the country, so it’s been a lot time since I’ve done a big carpet where I run into a lot of my friends, so it’s …

MasterChef fans, welcome to the new era with judges Grace Dent and Anna Haugh

MasterChef fans, welcome to the new era with judges Grace Dent and Anna Haugh

Add EastEnders to your watchlist Ross Kemp insists he’s not “any sort of a hard man, really”. And, of course, you can’t help but smile, because the very act of hearing him say it triggers a mental slideshow of moments that suggest otherwise. Long-time Kemp watchers will have their own favourites. Perhaps the episodes of his Extreme World documentary that saw him dodging sniper fire in Afghanistan and Syria. Or the time he was in Colombia reporting on the drug trade there only to be stopped in his car by a man with a knife looking for a bribe. And what did Kemp do? “I told him to f*** off.” The list goes on. How about the time he was told to get down on his knees by armed guerrillas in Papua New Guinea and, instead, he reached for one of their gun barrels and said, “You’re not going to kill me.” Fans of Kemp’s 2023 memoir Take Nothing for Granted may also recall the story of the night he drunkenly went swimming in crocodile-infested …

Grace season 6 ends on show’s biggest cliffhanger yet at Roy’s wedding

Grace season 6 ends on show’s biggest cliffhanger yet at Roy’s wedding

Published by Daniella Wilson

There were moments at which the fourth and final episode of Grace season 6 felt like a series finale, bringing John Simm’s woes and fears to an end. After solving this week’s case, Roy prepared for his wedding day with Cleo, but was granted an early gift from his colleague Nick. Nick showed him that footage had been found from the hospital in Munich the day that Roy’s wife Sandy died. In the footage, a man wearing hospital scrubs was seen roaming the corridors, wearing a mask and cap. In spite of his attempts to remain undetected, one snapshot image identified him as Albazi, the Benchdale gang leader who had been making threats to Roy’s son Bruno, and terrorising Glenn’s family as he got too close to the truth. Nick revealed that the footage had been sent to Munich police, and that, because of this, the prosecution in Albazi’s case felt confident that they would be able to secure a conviction. Upon this news, the whole team celebrated, with Glenn surmising that the entire Benchdale …

Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco Were Married 70 Years Ago Today. Here are 10 Things You Might Not Know About The Wedding

Published by Sam Flores

The term “fairy tale” is often used to describe the love story between Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III of Monaco, and it is not an exaggeration. The movie diva and the heir to the Monegasque dynasty swore eternal love to each other seventy years ago today, resulting in one of the twentieth century’s most legendary bonds. He, of blue blood, was considered Europe’s most coveted bachelor; she, an icon of elegance and muse of Alfred Hitchcock, had already won an Academy Award. Their gazes famously met for the first time on the Croisette in 1955, and from that moment on, nothing was the same. At that time, however, neither of them had a truly stable romantic situation. Grace was dating Jean-Pierre Aumont, while Rainier was involved with actress Gisèle Pascal. A few months after their first meeting, however, Rainier asked for Grace’s hand in marriage, with an extraordinary engagement ring embellished with a 12-carat diamond. With that, Grace decided to abandon her blazing career in Hollywood and move to the small principality of Monaco. …

The latest season of ITV’s gritty crime drama Grace wraps up with it’s fourth and final episode tonight – with John Simm’s Roy Grace and Richie Campbell’s Glenn Branson set to take on another new case in the Brighton area. This one promises to be “one of his most complex cases yet” according to the official synopsis, and will see them called to the scene of a car accident in which a local hotelier was killed by a driver who fled the scene. Of course, Simm and Branson aren’t the only stars back for this latest episode – Zoë Tapper is back as Roy’s fiancée Cleo, who is helping him to raise the son he never knew he had, while Laura Elphinstone is back as DC Bella May. Also returning are Brad Morrison as DC Nick Nicholl, Juliette Motamed as DC Vee Wilde, Rebecca Scroggs as Ari Branson and more. We don’t yet know if we will see Sam Hoare back as Cassian Pewe, after he betrayed the team and was unveiled as a corrupt …

Richard Gadd and MasterChef’s Grace Dent and Anna Haugh are on this week’s covers

Published by Daniella Wilson

Welcome to this week’s issue. We have two covers for two very different appetites. For our subscribers, it’s MasterChef and a fresh chapter for one of television’s most enduring formats. Grace Dent and Anna Haugh step into the kitchen as the new presenters: sharp, funny, exacting and, crucially, generous to the contestants. As you’ll read inside this week’s issue, they understand the chaos and the nerves. Dent captures the thrill of the competition perfectly: “To anyone who can get through those first few rounds, I think, wow… it’s like going to a holiday cottage and trying to make a simple omelette.” Haugh adds, with admirable understatement, that it’s all happening “with a film crew and two scary judges interviewing you”. Between them, there’s a clear warmth and enthusiasm that makes me feel optimistic about this new chapter. In contrast, Richard Gadd’s Half Man, his follow-up to Baby Reindeer, is a drama that pulls no punches – emotionally, psychologically or morally. Is it a difficult watch? Yes, but it’s also utterly compelling. And as you can …
