Emma Roberts reveals her White Lotus ambition
The 34-year-old actress is a huge fan of the hit HBO series, and Emma would jump at the chance to star on season four of the show.
She told PopSugar: "I'm unwell from The White Lotus. I want to be on next season, but that's such a dumb thing to say because who doesn't?"
Emma would even love to play the murder victim on the next season of the show.
She said: "I'll just be the body."
Emma is "totally addicted" to The White Lotus, even though she was "late to the party".
The actress explained: "I'm always late to the party.
"I always read and watch things after everyone's already talked about it, and then everyone's like, 'Shut up, we've already talked about it.' So I was late to The White Lotus and now I'm totally addicted."
Emma has already achieved huge success in her career, starring in movies such as Palo Alto, Valentine's Day and We're the Millers. But the actress previously claimed that the public underestimates the challenges faced by so-called nepo babies.
The Hollywood star - whose aunt is actress Julia Roberts and whose father is actor Eric Roberts - said on the Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi podcast: "People kind of only see your wins because they only see when you're on the poster of a movie. They don't see all the rejection along the way.
"That's why I'm always very open about things I've auditioned for and haven't gotten the part for.
"I think it's important to talk about - otherwise people just think everything's been so great and linear and easy, and no, it's not at all. But of course it looks like that to the outside perspective or to the naked eye."
Emma suggested that having family ties to Hollywood can be a double-edged sword.
She said: "I think there's two sides of the coin. People like to say, you know, you have a leg up because you have family in the industry.
"But then the other side to that is you have to prove yourself more.
"Also, if people don't have good experiences with other people in your family, then you'll never get a chance."

Lena Dunham chose to 'step back' from acting
Lena Dunham chose to "step back" from acting because she was tired of having her appearance "dissected". The 39-year-old star made a conscious decision to focus on writing and directing after she struggled to deal with scrutiny about her appearance. Lena told The Independent: "Having my body dissected was a reason that I chose in general to step back from acting a little bit more and focus on my writing and my directing, and also just make different kinds of choices as an actor." Lena's new TV show, Too Much, actually explores a lot of the issues that she's encountered in her own life. The actress said: "It's about your appetite for food, your appetite for life, your wants, your needs, your desires, and it comes in lots of forms, whether you're told you're 'too much' or 'messy' or 'needy' or 'a lot'. What's ironic is that calling someone 'too much' is a really easy way to diminish them." Lena created the hit HBO series Girls, which ran from 2012 until 2017. However, the actress actually struggled to enjoy her success during her younger years. She explained: "For all the Girls premieres I was in my twenties, so I was terrified and anxious. So just being able to actually enjoy it this time and be present was really nice." Lena previously revealed that she wants Too Much to spread a message of "love and hope". The show follows a girl who moves from the US to London following a break-up, and Lena gave fans an insight into what they can expect. She told Variety: "We're going for the girlies who pulled a geographic after a break-up. We've been shooting for three weeks and it's been an amazing experience." Lena hopes the show will help to spread some positive vibes. She said: "I just love a woman in crisis getting what she deserves in the good way. And so that's what we're going for with that show. "Also, speaking of this time in the world, trying to make something that's loving and joyful and still hopefully sharp and incisive and all the naughty scenes that people are used to from me, but with a kind of underlying, underpinned message of love and hope."

What to Watch: Dexter: Resurrection, the Tour de France, Too Much, Foundation S3
Dexter's back — again. Apparently, there's just no keeping a good vigilante serial killer down, and almost 20 years, eight seasons and two spin-offs later, Michael C. Hall's twisted anti-hero is back doing what he does best. And by that we mean killing people. Lots and LOTS of people. This revival is a continuation of the original crime drama that ran from 2006 to 2013, which saw Jeff Lindsay's serial killer novels translated to the small screen. During its initial run, the series gained widespread acclaim, scooping up Golden Globes for Hall, who played Miami-based blood spatter analyst turned serial killer Dexter Morgan. Its initial premise was genius: Dexter isn't just your run-of-the-mill killer — he only goes after people who deserve to die. Viewers connected with it, and the story kept being spun off, with 2021's Dexter: New Blood (2021-22) and the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin (2024). This latest picks up after New Blood's sensational finale, and sees Dexter miraculously recovered from his near-fatal gunshot wound. He winds up in New York in a frantic search for his son Harrison (Jack Alcott), who was the one who tried to off his dad. I can't tell you much more as there are iron-clad embargoes in place, but I will say this: if you've been a Dark Passenger on Dexter's journey so far, you won't want to miss this latest instalment, which boasts a superb guest cast including Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, Eric Stonestreet and the return of David Zayas as Angel Batista. Grab your lycra, we're rolling out. The world's most famous cycling race kicks off on Saturday, with the peloton starting out from Lille. The 184 riders will leg it across 3337km to end up at the Champs-Elysees in Paris on Sunday July 27. All 21 stages of this year's Tour will take place in France for the first time in five years, so get ready to armchair your way across some spectacular countryside. All hail Michael Portillo and his purple linen blazer! Eight seasons on and I'm still obsessively tuning into this show despite having zero interest in locomotives. I can't explain my fascination with this series, which sees Portillo (with his trusty 1936 Bradshaw's travel guide) criss-crossing the world. But if it's on, I'll tune in. Slow TV + a man in a fedora + some nice scenery = a night well spent. Adore this show and its purple-suited host. Lena Dunham is behind this series, which sees Hacks' Megan Stalter playing Jessica, a workaholic New Yorker who relocates to London after a difficult break-up. She meets left-of-centre musician Felix (The White Lotus' Will Sharpe) and this series, based loosely on Dunham's own experiences with husband Luis Felber (the show's co-creator), is about how their two worlds collide. Dunham fans will want to check this one out. Three seasons on, and this sci-fi series, based on Isaac Asimov's famous work, has managed to do the impossible, not only growing its (admittedly niche) audience, but also attracting the kind of universally favourable reviews most other genre TV series can only dream about. There's a big time jump, so it may take a while to wrap your head around this latest season and the new characters. Worth discovering.
