Heather Burns says she would love working on third sequel of Miss Congeniality
In an interview with People during the premiere of her latest film, 'The Best You Can,' at the 2025 Tribeca Festival, Burns said that she would love to work on the third part of the 'Miss Congeniality' franchise, and called it "one of the best experiences" of her life.
"I would love it. That was one of the best experiences of my life. It was so much fun making both of those films. I'm actually here with one of the other actresses. Melissa De Sousa, she played Miss New York, she's my date tonight, which is wonderful," said Burns as quoted by People Magazine.
Even though it has been almost two decades since the release of the first instalment, certain cast members are still in touch and are good friends.
"I made lifelong friends with Sandra Bullock. It's just a dream. So yes, a third [movie], I would jump at it," said Heather Burns as quoted by People. After working on 'Miss Congeniality' in 1999, Bullock and Burns worked together on 'Two Weeks Later,' a romantic comedy.
Meanwhile, Burns' latest film, 'The Best You Can,' which stars Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Brittany O'Grady and Judd Hirsch follows two halves of an unlikely friendship between a security guard and a urologist whose chance encounter blooms into something deeper, as reported by Variety.
Burns also opened up about her new movie and why she chose to work in it.
"I loved the script, first and foremost. I love these kinds of films. I guess I would call it a dramedy. It was beautiful. I was moved by it," said Burns as quoted by People.
The actress added that the all-star cast -- which also includes Judd Hirsch and Brittany O'Grady -- was also a major appeal.

Akshay Kumar to return with OMG 3? Director confirms bigger than…, release on…
The beloved OMG franchise is gearing up for another chapter, and fans can officially rejoice—Akshay Kumar will be back in the divine role that won hearts. Director Amit Rai has confirmed that OMG 3 is not only happening but will hit the big screen in 2026. And, if Rai's words are anything to go by, the upcoming instalment will be 'bigger than anything you've seen so far.' In an exclusive conversation with ANI, Rai made it clear that Akshay's return was never in doubt. 'He will be in it because he is also the producer,' the filmmaker said. The project is already in motion, with pre-production underway and shooting plans aligning for a timely release next year. From OMG to OMG 2 The journey began in 2012 with Oh My God, where Akshay played a modern-day messenger of Lord Krishna. In OMG 2, he transformed into the messenger of Lord Shiva, guiding Pankaj Tripathi's character through a courtroom battle on sex education. The sequel not only carried forward the franchise's thought-provoking tone but also pushed boundaries in storytelling. Interestingly, Amit Rai revealed that Akshay's involvement in OMG 2 went far beyond acting. 'From narrating the script entertainingly to remembering scenes just by listening, Akshay Sir was deeply involved. He worked like a creative producer,' Rai shared. This hands-on approach even helped the film dodge potential controversies. One notable example was a sensitive scene on masturbation. 'He suggested we shoot it carefully, and told me, 'We'll see later.' That saved us from unnecessary backlash,' Rai recalled. What Can Fans Expect in OMG 3? While Rai kept story details under wraps, his hints about a 'bigger' and 'more impactful' film suggest high stakes, layered drama, and the signature blend of satire and spirituality the franchise is known for. Given Akshay's dual role as star and producer, fans can expect a polished and socially relevant narrative. Akshay's Busy Slate – Jolly LLB 3 Up Next Before OMG 3 arrives, Akshay will be seen in Jolly LLB 3, alongside Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, the film is set for a 19 September 2025 release, promising another courtroom drama with a comedic twist.

Did Joe Jonas confirm third instalment of Camp Rock? Here's what we know
Singer-songwriter and actor Joe Jonas shared an update on the next season of the 2008 musical television film, Camp Rock. The singer made fans do a double-take when he made mention of a Camp Rock 3 while appearing on an episode of Hot Ones Versus with his brothers Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas, reported People. In a recent interview, Joe Jonas teased a Camp Rock 3, surprising his brother Nick Jonas. Nick asks Joe to read his notes Nick asked his brother to read his last Notes app entry out loud. Joe looked at the camera and said, "Oh, oh," and cleared his throat before saying, 'Read Camp Rock 3.' Nick put down his glass of milk as he made a shocked face at the camera, causing laughter from his brothers and the crew. He then said, "It's pretty good," causing Kevin to respond, "Okay, that's a pretty good one," as per the outlet. "It's the truth," Joe said, before pointing at his phone and telling everyone, "It's literally right here." The conversation ended with Joe making a silly face as he said, "Sorry, Disney." Camp Rock premiered on the Disney Channel on June 20, 2008, directed by Matthew Diamond from a screenplay by Karin Gist, Regina Hicks, Julie Brown, and Paul Brown. The film stars Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas, Meaghan Jette Martin, Maria Canals-Barrera, Daniel Fathers, and Alyson Stoner. After the success of the film, a follow-up, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, premiered in 2010. After that, there was no official announcement or talk about the third film. Nick wanted an R-rated instalment of the film In 2017, however, Nick shared that he would be interested in filming an R-rated instalment of the film. "If the right thing comes together, I think that'd be fun. It's a really delicate thing because they're two films really beloved by fans. So I think for it to work, it'd have to be some creative new version where we get a writing team and do something special," he said, noting that he "absolutely" enjoys working with his brothers and Lovato, reported People. In June, Alyson Stoner, who played Caitlyn Geller in the Camp Rock films, said when asked about a third instalment: "I truly cannot confirm or deny anything. They haven't given me a ring." "I wonder where that plot line would go," Stoner added. "It would thicken. It would have to thicken quite a bit to get all of us back," reported People. 'Camp Rock' and 'Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam' are now streaming on Disney . (ANI)
