Jennifer Aniston to star in TV project based on child actor Jennette McCurdy's memoir

3 days ago

Jennifer Aniston is expanding her relationship with Apple TV+ beyond 'The Morning Show.'
The streamer announced Tuesday that Aniston will next star in a new series based on 'I'm Glad My Mom Died,' Jennette McCurdy's 'unflinching No. 1 New York Times bestseller memoir of the same name.'
''I'm Glad My Mom Died' is a heartbreaking and hilarious recounting of Jennette McCurdy's struggles as a former child actor while dealing with her overbearing, domineering mother,' a press release from Apple TV+ states. 'The dramedy will center on the the codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kid's show, and her narcissistic mother who relishes in her identity as 'a starlet's mother,' set to be played by Aniston.'
McCurdy found fame starring as Sam Puckett in the Nickelodeon sitcom 'iCarly.' Her memoir was published on August 9, 2022 by Simon & Shuster and spent more than 80 weeks on the New York Times best seller list.
She is set to write, produce, and showrun the new series with Ari Katcher and Aniston will serve as an executive producer.
Aniston stars as Alex Levy on 'The Morning Show' and is also one of that show's producers. The series, whose fourth season launches on September 17, is based on a nonfiction book 'Top of the Morning' by CNN chief media analyst, Brian Stelter.

Will Target Be Open on Fourth of July?

Will Target Be Open on Fourth of July? originally appeared on Parade Pets. When it comes to shopping for our furry friends, there are few places more stylish than Target. Sure, you might have to visit a specialty store to find a t-shirt for your cockatoo, but at least Tar-zhay has our cutesy four-legged friends covered. They've got clothing, chew toys, and even a few specialty treats that Milo is sure to love, and with the Fourth of July coming up this Friday, we might need to add an extra stop to our weekly grocery route. 🐾 SIGN UP to get 'pawsitivity' delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends along with expert advice from veterinarians and pet trainers🐾 Fido deserves to look their red, white, and blue very best too, after all, and if you find yourself wondering if Target is open on the Fourth of July, then sit tight for the answer. As much as Independence Day is all about the fireworks and barbecue, our furbabies deserve to show up to the party in style—even if they are a little bit afraid of all the ruckus. Depending on your pup's temperament, you might be in the market for treats to keep them occupied, a new bed to make sure they have a comfortable place to relax after running through the yard all day, or even an anxiety vest to help calm their nerves once the firework finale really gets if you need to make a last-minute treat run before the big day, Target will be open and waiting for you and your furry companion to go on a doggone shopping spree. That's right, pet parents. You and Rex can grab all the barbecue-themed chew toys and hot dog-shaped goodies money can buy because Target stores will be open during regular business hours on the Fourth of July. Even if you're looking for a cat tree to update Salem's new digs in honor of the big day, the cheap-chic retailer has you covered there, too. As a general rule of thumb, you'll want to check with your local store to verify its actual operating hours; however, for the most part, if your store is usually open until 10 PM, it should close at 10 PM on the fourth. That means there's no stressing if you run out of Fancy Feast or Gambit's favorite treats. You can grab all that and then some, and even any lingering party supplies to make your Independence Day bash go off without a hitch.
