'Hollis Shaw (Garner), a famed food influencer known for her delicious recipes, impeccable taste, and warm demeanor suffers a devastating loss. Unable to move forward, the death starts to expose the cracks in Hollis's picture-perfect life—her strained marriage, her complicated relationship with her daughter, and her growing pursuit of validation from her followers. In an effort to overcome grief and find herself again, Hollis gets the idea to host a weekend away at her house on Nantucket with three friends from different stages in her life: her childhood, her twenties, thirties, and one surprise fifth star. Set against a luxurious and coastal backdrop, they will mature in ways they could never imagine as boundaries are pushed and secrets are exposed.'

Jamie Foxx opens up about daughter Corinne's ‘special' role in his recovery after life-threatening health scare
'I said one day I was gonna stop crying,' Jamie Foxx says, reflecting on his daughter Corinne's support during his 2023 health scare. Jamie Foxx has made a career out of making people laugh—but on May 29, standing next to his daughter Corinne Foxx, he let his tears do the talking. During Netflix's FYSEE LA event, the 57-year-old entertainer showed a side of himself that fans rarely get to see: a father overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion after surviving a terrifying health crisis. Speaking with Corinne, 31, in a Q&A session, Foxx gave attendees an unfiltered glimpse into how close he came to death, and how the love of his daughter helped him find his way back. 'I said one day I was gonna stop crying,' he said to his daughter, per People magazine. 'But I got a feeling I'll never stop crying, because you were special.' In April 2023, Foxx suffered a brain bleed that led to a life-threatening stroke while filming 'Back in Action.' He spent 20 days unconscious, waking up in a hospital wheelchair with no memory of what had happened. What he did remember, though, was who had stayed by his side. Foxx dives deeper into his medical journey in his new Netflix comedy special, 'Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was.' 'Your life doesn't flash before your face. It was kind of oddly peaceful,' Foxx shares in the special. 'I saw the tunnel. I didn't see the light. I was in that tunnel, though. It was hot in that tunnel. S***, am I going to the wrong place in this motherf****? Because I looked at the end of the tunnel, and I thought I saw the devil, like, 'Come on.' ' And while Foxx was cracking jokes on stage, he also made sure to give love to the team of health care professionals at Atlanta's Piedmont Hospital. He remembers one nurse calling him 'a miracle,' telling him that 'less than 3% of people that come in with what you had leave here. We usually put 'em in a box. But when I saw that it was you, I rolled my sleeves up – That's Jamie Fox in there.'' In the midst of recovery, humor helped. But family healed, especially Corinne, who he says 'held him down.' Now, with his health restored, Foxx says he's more focused on the future than the past. 'I'm just glad God gave me the opportunity to get back,' he told his daughter. 'So I could see what you're going to do because you're going to shock the world.'

Arthur Hamilton, 'Cry Me a River' Songwriter, Dies at 98
Arthur Hamilton, the Oscar-nominated songwriter best known for his smoky torch-song classic 'Cry Me a River,' memorably recorded by Julie London, Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Cocker and many others, has died. He was 98. His death was announced this week by ASCAP and the Society of Composers and Lyricists; details were not immediately available. More from The Hollywood Reporter Enzo Staiola, Child Star in Vittorio De Sica's 'Bicycle Thieves,' Dies at 85 Jason Constantine, Lionsgate Co-President, Dies at 55 Jonathan Joss, 'King of the Hill' Voice Actor, Dies at 59 After Shooting Hamilton received his Oscar nom for best song (shared with composer Riz Ortolani) for 'Till Love Touches Your Life' from Madron (1970), performed by Richard Williams and Jan Daley for the movie Western that starred Richard Boone and Leslie Caron. For Warner Bros.' Pete Kelly's Blues (1955), starring and directed by Jack Webb, Hamilton created two wistful songs for Peggy Lee, who played an alcoholic jazz singer in the musical crime film — 'He Needs Me' and 'Sing a Rainbow,' which would evolve into a children's classic. 'Cry Me a River' was sung by Fitzgerald for the film but did not survive the cutting room floor. However, London — the actress and Webb's ex-wife — recorded it for her 1955 debut album, 'Julie Is Her Name,' and it soared to No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. (London and Hamilton had gone to the Hollywood Professional School together, and he took her to the senior prom.) Performed from the perspective of a jilted lover, the sparse 'Cry Me a River' opens with: 'Now you say you're lonely / You cried the whole night through / Well, you can cry me a river / Cry me a river / I cried a river over you.' Fitzgerald released her version on her 1961 album Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!, and Cocker performed his on his 1970 Leon Russell-produced live album Mad Dogs & Englishmen. 'Cry Me a River' also would be recorded by Barbra Streisand, Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, Harry Connick Jr., Susan Boyle, Michael Bublé, Jeff Beck, Diana Krall, Björk and Aerosmith, among many others. 'I just liked the combination of words,' Hamilton told The Wall Street Journal in 2010. 'Instead of 'Eat your heart out' or 'I'll get even with you,' it sounded like a good, smart retort to somebody who had hurt your feelings or broken your heart. 'Its general use as a put-down phrase has continued to delight and amaze me. Whenever my wife and I are watching a film or TV show and the phrase is used, we laugh and gently punch each other.' Arthur Hamilton Stern was born in Seattle on Oct. 22, 1926. His father, Jack Stern, was a songwriter and orchestrator who worked on films including His Night Out (1935), Jane Withers' Little Miss Nobody (1936) and Sweetheart of the Navy (1937). His mother, Grace Hamilton, wrote lyrics for her husband's songs. He came to Los Angeles with his parents when he was an infant, learned to play piano and in 1949 wrote a live stage musical, What a Day, for local station KTTV. He then spent a couple years working for a music publishing company. Hamilton said he was inspired by legendary cabaret performer Bobby Short. 'I told people many times, 'I never went to college, I went to Bobby Short,' ' he noted in 2016 on an episode of The Paul Leslie Hour podcast. Bobby Darin recorded 'He Needs Me' as 'She Needs Me' in 1959 for his second album — the one with 'Mack the Knife' and 'Beyond the Sea' on it — and Hamilton's résumé also included 'Rain Sometimes,' 'One Look' and 'The Best I Ever Was.' He earned Emmy noms in 1993 and '94 for his tunes 'Good Things Grow' and 'Something Is Out There' from the respective TV movies Blind Spot and The Corpse Had a Familiar Face. London's version of 'Cry Me a River,' backed only by Barney Kessel on guitar and Ray Leatherwood on bass and released on the newly founded Liberty Records label, became her signature song. It was inducted into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry in 2015. 'So fully does London's image, persona and, of course, her voice convey and encompass the world of smoky nightclubs and intimate stages, that every would-be chanteuse, whenever they take to the stage to sing out a song, are (whether they know it or not, whether they credit her or not) both channeling and paying homage to Miss Julie London,' the Library of Congress' Cary O'Dell wrote. Hamilton served as the second president of the Society of Composers and Lyricists from 1985-87 and was a music branch governor at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Scientists and a member of the ASCAP Foundation Board.
