Kristen Wiig is competing with 'Harper and Will Go West,' which she cowrote with Sean Douglas and Josh Greenbaum for Harper and Will Go West.

For Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, they wrote the music for each episode together.

Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong wow in new 'Springsteen' movie footage
NEW YORK — The King of New Jersey is taking his Hollywood throne. Emmy winners Jeremy Allen White ('The Bear') and Jeremy Strong ('Succession') star in the highly anticipated Bruce Springsteen biopic 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere' (in theaters Oct. 24), which debuted its first trailer last month. On July 29, Disney shared more new footage from the film with a small group of journalists, as the Mouse House touted a slew of upcoming movies from its slate including 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' (Dec. 19) and 'Tron: Ares' (Oct. 10). The 'Springsteen' clips were introduced in a prerecorded message by writer/director Scott Cooper, who shared his desire to focus on a specific chapter of the rock icon's career: the creation of his riskier, more downbeat 1982 album 'Nebraska.' 'It was never about telling the whole story of Bruce Springsteen,' said Cooper, adding he wanted to avoid 'a traditional biopic' in favor of something darker and more introspective. 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' trailer: See Jeremy Allen White transform into Bruce Springsteen Jeremy Allen White nails Bruce Springsteen's singing voice in new movie In one clip, Bruce (White) sits at a Manhattan diner with manager Jon Landau (Strong), looking disheveled and withdrawn as he says that it's hard to come back home after touring. 'The quiet can get a little loud,' Strong's character tells him. 'Coming off the road has never been easy for you. You just need to give it some time. It'll pass.' The two men walk out of the diner and down the block, where a passerby shouts, 'Love you, Bruce!' 'You see that?' Landau says, smiling. 'I'll tell you, hit singles aren't so bad.' The next clip is a flashback to Bruce's childhood, in which his dad (Stephen Graham) points to a large house and says that 'all your problems will disappear' if you have money. The scene cuts to an adult Bruce strumming on his guitar, with White doing an uncanny Springsteen impression as he warbles 'Mansion on a Hill.' Although the actor only bears a passing resemblance to Springsteen, his spot-on vocals and soulful essence may be enough to land him in Oscar contention this coming awards season. Jamie Lee Curtis, James L. Brooks joke about being in a 'throuple' Throughout the roughly hourlong presentation, Disney screened rough footage from the animated 'Zootopia 2' (Nov. 26) and the just-released trailer for 'Predator: Badlands' (Nov. 7) with Elle Fanning. James L. Brooks, the film and TV legend behind 'The Simpsons' and 'Broadcast News,' was also on hand with Jamie Lee Curtis to share a handful of new clips from their feel-good family drama 'Ella McCay' (Dec. 12), about a rising legal star (Emma Mackey) juggling personal and professional responsibilities. The star-studded film features Woody Harrelson, Ayo Edebiri, Kumail Nanjiani, and Jack Lowden, and marks Brooks' first movie in 15 years. 'Here's the amazing truth about Jamie Lee,' Brooks told reporters as he introduced the footage. 'She's everything you could ever want her to be.' Curtis, who plays Ella's aunt Helen, said it was a 'life-changing experience' to work with Brooks. 'At first I was terrified, but now I'm massively in love with him,' Curtis quipped. 'His wife, Mrs. Brooks, and I have come to an understanding. The word 'throuple' has been (thrown around)!' Brooks said Curtis was his only choice to play Helen, which the Oscar-winning actress handwaved away. 'I can take it! I've been a replacement part many times,' Curtis said. 'I was a replacement part in 'Knives Out,' I was a replacement part in 'Freaky Friday,'' whose sequel arrives in theaters Aug. 8. 'You know what? Life hinges on a couple seconds you never see coming.'

Prime Video is a one-stop shop for the best video streaming subscriptions
Streaming video on demand has revolutionized the way we consume movies and TV shows, allowing us to binge-watch our favorite shows on repeat or stretch out a new season for a slow burn. The problem, however, is that nearly every hit movie or show is tied to a different app subscription. When I just want to sit down and relax, juggling multiple apps just to find a show can be a vibe killer. Thankfully, Prime Video offers a unique solution that allows us to manage multiple subscriptions and view content in one handy app. When I hear the name Prime Video, I immediately think about what the subscription streamer has to offer in the way of original content. Hit shows like Fallout and The Boys spring to mind, as well as quick access to new movies that I can rent or buy and then watch at my own leisure. Prime Video has so much more to offer, though. My friends keep telling me I should check out Yellowjackets, available on Showtime. With the Prime Video app, I can search for the series and watch teasers for the show or even an entire episode for free. If I want to keep watching, I can simply subscribe to Paramount+ within the Prime Video app and continue my binge-watching spree — all without ever needing to download and launch another app or visit a second website. I might even get lucky and find a 7-day free trial waiting for me. If Yellowjackets isn't scratching the itch, I can decide instead to check out the wholesome Emmy-winning series Ted Lasso on Apple TV+. I can subscribe to Apple TV+ right inside Prime Video (and get a good deal with a 2-month trial run at $4.99 a month, then just $9.99 a month after that.) Prime Video subscriptions provide a unique opportunity to mix and match your content to your specific tastes. Maybe you're looking for your comfort anime and just want to binge Fruits Basket on Crunchyroll (available for just 99 cents the first two months, then $11.99 a month thereafter) or maybe you want to expand your options with a blast from the past like Vampire Hunter D on HiDive. Sometimes chilling out with a PBS Documentary or BBC Select documentary can help you wind down for the night, or you can spice up your evenings with a new romance from Passionflix or Hallmark+. Regardless of where your entertainment interests lie, you can add your subscription (or subscriptions, we don't judge!) of choice to your Prime Video viewing lineup and have even more access to the best movies and shows streaming has to offer. Subscriptions on Prime Video prove you really can have it all in today's digital entertainment and streaming landscape. A simple search in the Prime Video app brings up a near-endless supply of new and classic movies, documentaries, reality TV, and award-winning series that I can't wait to tell all my friends to watch next. It's all available in one neat little hub that is easy to manage, allowing me to subscribe and unsubscribe as my tastes and viewing preferences change. The Prime Video hub makes it easy to keep track of how much I'm spending on my subscriptions so that I'm not surprised by unexpected renewals. With all these great deals on add-on subscriptions, I can feel free to try out new series and movies without any obligation for a long-term subscription. If you're tired of downloading and juggling a new app for every show you want to watch, give Prime Video subscriptions a try.

Paris Hilton's $63M mansion buy led US home sales in June
Paris Hilton and her husband led the US real estate market in June with their pricey purchase of Mark Wahlberg's former megamansion. The mammoth Beverly Hills estate cost Hilton and her venture capitalist husband, Carter Reum, a cool $63 million. Their purchase topped out Redfin's top 10 list of the country's most expensive home sales, as did five other California-based transactions. Agents told CNBC the recent ranking reflects a pattern of luxury real estate regaining momentum in fire-ravaged Los Angeles. Advertisement 9 Paris Hilton, pictured in June. GC Images 9 Hilton and her husband, Carter Reum, share two children — and a new place to call home. Evan Agostini/Invision/AP 9 Wahlberg and his wife Rhea Durham sold the impressive property for $55 million in 2023. Paul Barnaby Advertisement Indeed, Hilton and Reum, who share two young children, lost their $8.4 million oceanfront Malibu home to the Palisades Fire — one of several that raged through the state in January. Hilton was candid about the loss in a post to her millions of Instagram followers. 'Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience,' the heiress and influencer wrote. The sheer scale of her family's new home makes its eye-watering $63 million price a little more understandable. 9 A sun-lit dining room. Paul Barnaby Advertisement 9 One of two kitchens in the main house. Paul Barnaby 9 A wine and cigar cellar with a tasting area. Paul Barnaby 9 The outdoor pool includes a grotto, waterfalls and waterslides. Paul Barnaby The nearly 30,500-square-foot spread sits on 6 private acres. The extensive grounds feature a sports court, a skate park, a five-hole golf course and a pool worthy of a waterpark. A main house and a guesthouse include a collective 12 bedrooms — as well as a wine and cigar cellar, a home theater and staff quarters. Advertisement The mansion's sellers made a tidy profit from the deal, CNBC reported, even accounting for Los Angeles' hefty mansion tax. Their success makes Mark Wahlberg's $55 million sale of the home in 2023 look sadly premature. Hilton and Reum's purchase is currently the fifth priciest home sale of 2025, according to Redfin. Nicole Plaxen, an agent with the Beverly Hills Estates, told CNBC that LA's luxury market is being driven by displaced homeowners like Hilton. Plaxen also noted a return in foreign buyers, especially from China. 9 The Palisades Fire claimed modest starter homes and A-lister mansions alike. London Entertainment for NY Post 9 Hilton closed on the home five months after losing her family's Malibu beach house. Paul Barnaby The other 50% of Redfin's chart-topping June sales took place elsewhere: Three in coastal Florida, one in Manhattan and another on Lake Tahoe's Nevada side. All 10 sold for more than $30 million. New York's appearance in the June rankings was credited to the sale of a 50-foot-wide mansion in Midtown Manhattan. The sprawling 22-bedroom residence just off Fifth Avenue was built for a cousin of J.P. Morgan during the city's Gilded Age. The seller, previously reported at real estate developer Orin Wilf, cinched a $38.2 million deal on the property. Neither Wilf's sale nor Hilton's purchase comes even close to the year's most expensive deal so far. That superlative belongs squarely with the $225 million sale of three adjacent beachfront properties in Naples, Florida. The April transaction marked the second-highest home sale ever in the US, trailing Ken Griffin's $238 million penthouse purchase at 220 Central Park South in early 2019.
