Paris Jackson Teamed Up With Two Other 'Nepo Babies' for a Surprising TV Cameo & We're Seeing Double
Over the years, Paris Jackson has often dipped her toes into acting. She was in an episode of Swarm, a few episodes of American Horror Stories and movies like Sex Appeal, Habit and Gringo. So, of course, it should come as no surprise that she's making an appearance in ABC's hot new show, Doctor Odyssey.
This week, the 27-year-old will play one of the college-aged 'vixens' onboard the cruise in the 'Spring Break' episode alongside two familiar faces. She'll be wrecking havoc with Reese Witherspoon's daughter Ava Phillippe, who will be making her acting debut, and Charlotte Lawrence, Bill Lawrence and Crista Miller's actress and singer daughter.

From the bikini-clad photos, it seems Jackson, Phillipe and Miller will be quite a dynamic trio.
In the promo, there's a short clip of Jackson's character Nessa flirting with Joshua Jackson's character, Dr. Max Bankman. 'We're having a party in our room tonight,' she tells him. 'You should come.'
In another clip, Nessa, who's now rocking a little black dress, suddenly passes out. 'Tell me what she took,' Max says while giving her CPR. 'Call the infirmary, tell them 'Code Alpha' right now.'
As he finishes that thought, he also drops to the ground. 'Max?!' Philipa Soo's character, Nurse Avery, shouts out. 'I'm not getting a pulse.'
But while this cliffhanger might be enough to make you want to hit play, fans of Phillippe and Witherspoon might be watching because of how similar Phillippe looks to her mom on the show. After all, her pink triangle bikini must be inspired by Elle Woods' Harvard video application essay in Legally Blonde, right?
In the comments from the show's TikToks, fans seem to be shocked at their similarity. 'You 100% have your mother's smile!!' wrote one commenter. 'The fact that she reminds me exactly of her mom and her dad at the same time is wild,' another wrote, nodding to her dad and Witherspoon's ex-husband Ryan Phillippe.
'A young Reese Witherspoon,' another fan wrote. 'Got it from her mama.'
Looking at them side by side, we couldn't agree more!Best of SheKnows

My heart broke when this musical comedy show was canceled — but at least it's streaming on Hulu
Musical TV shows are hit or miss, but the best ones lean into satire and self-awareness. To sell the idea of characters randomly bursting into song, a little camp goes a long way. Some shows like "Glee" and "Smash" build singing into the story through a cappella groups or theater settings. Others, like "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" and "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," invent quirky setups for musical numbers that teeter between realism and ridiculousness (the sweet spot). But I'm here for genre chaos. The "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" musical episode set the bar high for '90s kids and the entire TV industry. Plenty of shows have tried to match its iconic status, but most have fallen flatter than the pitchiest note. One-off episodes are hard enough. Sustaining that energy for a whole series? Nearly impossible — except "Galavant" pulled it off. ABC's short-lived medieval musical show turned every fairy tale trope on its head with biting wit, satirical absurdity and a soundtrack as fresh as its plot. RIP to the real king. True love won't get you far in medieval times — especially if you're a woman. The show opens with our wannabe hero Galavant (Joshua Sasse) on a quest to rescue his beloved Madalena (Mallory Jansen). Except ... she's not in distress. She left Galavant for the king who kidnapped her. Why? Power and money, obviously. King Richard (Timothy Omundson) may sit on the throne, but Madalena's running the show. She knows how to weaponize toxic masculinity — and does, with perfection. Meanwhile, Galavant's off trying to rescue someone who doesn't want to be rescued. Sorry, Galavant, but Madalena is just not that into you. She's not even subtle about it. Yes, she uses her charms to get what she wants, but it's not manipulation — she tells everyone exactly what she's doing. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. She's not the only badass in the realm. Princess Isabella (Karen David) tricks Galavant into fighting for her kingdom under the pretense of needing a big, strong man. It's not hard; the guy's got a raging ego. He's also a washed-up loser and kind of an idiot. But at least he has a good personality ... just kidding! Medieval Women: 2Medieval Men: 0 You know Alan Menken, the legendary composer behind Disney movies including "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin" and "Newsies." He co-composed Galavant with Christopher Lennertz ("Pitch Perfect," "The Boys"). These heavyweights poured genuine talent into this absurd little gem of a show, and it shows. "Galavant's" soundtrack could easily pass as a Broadway cast album. It's not just the vocals — it's the composition, the pacing, the comic timing. Every song is completely self-aware and absurd without veering into nonsense. Somehow, it all works. From 'Hero's Journey' to 'A New Season,' the show breaks the fourth wall with abandon and dares you not to hum along. Galavant himself may be a mildly lovable, mostly pitiful mess, but the show? It's a legendary feminist parody that lands every punch — often to Galavant's face. Sadly, "Galavant" met the fate of too many quirky cult classics like "Pushing Daisies," "Dead Like Me" and "Reaper." Despite all the jokes about low budgets and imminent cancellation, the show's brilliance wasn't enough to save it. "Galavant" may have ridden off into the sunset too soon, but fortunately, the entire series is streaming on Hulu. So if you missed it the first time (like most people did), you've got a second chance to witness the chaotic, catchy brilliance for yourself. And if you've already seen it? Watch it again (and again). The songs still slap, the jokes still land and Galavant is still gloriously bad at being a hero. Watch "Galavant" on Hulu

There's a shocking return on the horizon at General Hospital, as well as a surprise exit. Here's the soap's latest comings and goings, casting news. Find out which popular star from yesteryear is heading back to the show in the near future, if any newcomers are boarding in contract, recurring, or day-player roles, and which popular performer is departing the ABC drama.

The View fans shocked as hosts fail to address Trump-Elon Musk feud
The View hosts stunned Friday viewers after they stayed silent about President Donald Trump and his former billionaire ally, Elon Musk's, very public, bitter feud. The co-hosts of the popular ABC talk show have been outspoken critics of Trump and his allies for years now. However, during the latest episode, they made no mention of the headline-dominating drama between the tech mogul and the president. Instead, they discussed Malia Obama's surprising decision to drop her last name as she starts a new career in filmmaking, as well as Leah Remini's friendship with Jennifer Lopez. They also interviewed Mark Hamill about his role in Mike Flanagan's new Stephen King adaptation, The Life of Chuck, andlater invited Ginny & Georgia's Brianne Howey to speak about the new season of the Netflix drama. During their discussion with Hamill, the subject of Trump briefly surfaced when the Star Wars legend explained his previous X quips aimed at Trump. 'You gotta do it with humor. I think I don't get angry, and I don't drop F-bombs,' Hamill said. 'I mean, I know I have a lot of kids who follow me, but I think you have to have fun with it, yeah? Mock him. That's the kryptonite to a malignant narcissist.' Besides that, no other mention of Trump was made. The uncharacteristic omission was not lost on fans, who immediately called out the panelists for including 'nothing on the elephant in the room.' 'Where are the current events? I am so disappointed,' one wrote on X. 'Is the show pre-taped last year. Love y'all, but you missed the mark. Not a word about the break up of the bromance.' 'No talk about the biggest and best news in ages, very disappointing!' a second huffed, while a third noted: 'This must be a taped show. I'm so disappointed. I was looking forward to it.' 'Is this taped!? Or did they get censored?! I want 'the view' on the girl fight yesterday!!' a fourth demanded, with another labeling the silence 'odd.' The Independent understands that the episode was pre-recorded Thursday afternoon, before Trump and Musk began trading blows on social media. The hosts' apparent hush-hush approach comes after reports broke last month that Disney boss Bob Iger and ABC News chief Almin Karamehmedovic asked them to tone down the political rhetoric on the show. According to TheDailyBeast, Karamehmedovic called a meeting with the show's five hosts — Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin — and executive producer Brian Teta, suggesting 'the panel needed to broaden its conversations beyond its predominant focus on politics.' One source familiar with the matter stressed to The Independent that there was really nothing out of character with this particular meeting, noting that the network 'constantly has conversations with talent based on viewer feedback, and this instance was no different.' 'This is not about talking about Trump. It's about balance in the show on topics,' the source added. 'This conversation is really about making sure there's just balance in the show.'
