Amanda Knox working with Monica Lewinsky on latest docudrama about her life
Monica Lewinsky and Amanda Knox are collaborating on a new Hulu docudrama titled The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, which premieres on Wednesday. Both women serve as producers on the series, which explores Knox's relentless fight to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom. Lewinsky stated she saw in Knox "another young woman who had suffered in the media, had been feasted on, on the world stage," highlighting their shared experience of intense public scrutiny. Knox was wrongfully imprisoned for four years in Italy after being convicted of the 2007 murder of her flatmate, Meredith Kercher, a conviction later overturned due to errors in the forensic investigation. Knox identifies with a group she calls "The Sisterhood," comprising women subjected to excessive media speculation, and has since advocated for others behind bars.

Friends fans spot 'new' mistake in series 26 years later but some say there's valid reason
Friends fans have spotted 'new' mistakes in various episodes of the well-loved TV show - but people say there's a technical explanation for it and it only adds to the charm Friends fans have spotted a 'production mistake' 26 years after its sixth season premiered to its loyal audience. The cult classic, starring Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer, has been a firm favourite for three decades. But it seems some fans are only just spotting mistakes made in its production all these years later - but some viewers argue there's a "valid" reason for it. In a TikTok video, user @ pointed out how you can see a cameraman during a scene in season six, episode 13, when Matthew Perry, who plays Chandler Bing, and Courteney Cox, who portrays Monica Geller, are sitting on a sofa in her apartment. The cameraman is seen standing behind the actors in the kitchen capturing the friendship group in conversation in the sitting room. But this isn't the only time a member of the production team has been caught n camera in the series as another viewer claims one is visible in season six, episode seven too. Explaining why it has taken so many fans so long to notice this mistake, one user commented: "It's because aspect ratios on TVs have changed. On an old SRT 4:3 ratio, you wouldn't see him. But on a 16:9 you do." Another user added: "In S6 E7 when Chandler was cleaning the apartment. I also noticed the camera, when Chandler ran to the coffee table to move them. 10:28." A third user said: "In one of the holiday episodes there's a shot where you can see the stage and not the set." Another user added: "Friends is my favourite show but I've watched so many times I spot so mistakes like shadows and door." One more user said: "There is also a fault in the episode where the Gellers celebrate their wedding anniversary, after Jack stops talking, they swap to his body double!" It comes after fans noticed something unusual about Rachel, played by Jennifer Aniston, in season nine, episode four. For a few seconds in The One with the Sharks, Rachel is briefly replaced mid-scene by someone else. About 12 minutes and 20 seconds into the episode, Monica and Rachel are in Monica's apartment, talking about unusual fetishes their previous partners have had. Joey, portrayed by Matt LeBlanc, then enters and heads towards them, explaining that he thinks he has slept with his date before - but she doesn't remember him. The three sit down at the kitchen table to continue the conversation and at this point, Rachel can be clearly seen with curly hair and wearing a yellow top. As the camera moves to focus on Monica, eagle-eyed viewers might notice that a different woman is next to her in the bottom left side of the screen, with straight hair and a dark blue top. But if you blink, you'll miss it as a few seconds later, the camera changes to focus on Rachel and the stand-in is no where to be seen.
