Jenna Ortega shares major update on Lady Gagas Wednesday appearance
Los Angeles [US], August 10 (ANI): Jenna Ortega's Wednesday Addams has officially returned, this time with darker plot twists at the Nevermore Academy. Nearly three years after the first season came out, Netflix released Part 1 of 'Wednesday Season 2' on August 6, bringing back the chaotic characters and unsolved mysteries. While fans had been highly anticipating Wednesday's return to the academy after the summer break, the addition of pop sensation Lady Gaga only added to the buzz. Netflix stated that the actor-singer will join the second season as Rosaline Rotwood - a "legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday"; however, Jenna Ortega has something else to say. In a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Ortega was asked about the singer's appearance as a teacher on the Netflix show. "She's not a teacher. That's your little clue. Whatever you've heard, it's wrong," Ortega playfully said. The actress also opened up on her experience of working with Lady Gaga and said, "One of the kindest, most grounded people I've ever had the pleasure to work with, such a powerhouse." Catherine Zeta-Jones, known for famously essaying the mother, Morticia Addams, was also present at the interview. "She was an addition that was made in heaven. We'd say hell, which is a good thing. I actually feel that she is probably related somehow genetically to the Addams Family," the actress said about Gaga's casting. Luis Guzman, who plays Wednesday's father, Gomez Addams, further joked, "As Gomez, Addams' lawyer, I'm preparing the papers to officially adopt her." As the 'Die With A Smile' singer did not appear in the first half, it is likely that Gaga's character has been stored in for Part 2, which will be premiered on September 3, 2025. Part 1 of 'Wednesday Season 2' is currently streaming on Netflix, featuring the first four episodes. (ANI)

Not apologetic about my body: John Abraham on moving past stereotypes in films
John Abraham recently talked about moving past body stereotypes, the media's focus on his looks, and choosing meaningful films that add to his legacy. He said that in his early days, he promoted his physique with roles in movies like 'Dostana' and 'Force', but now, as a producer, he wants to change that image. He also shared with India Today that while Bollywood used to be male-dominated, things have changed and the gap between men and women in the industry is now much an exclusive interview with India Today's Consulting Editor, Rajdeep Sardesai, actor John Abraham spoke about being labelled for his physique. He said, 'It was a monkey on my back but listen I'm not apologetic about the body. I mean I had it in 'Dostana' 15 years later I had it in 'Pathaan' - just the colour of the shorts were different, one was yellow and one was white. So I will definitely do action films, I'll do the big ones. I'd want to do Force - it's probably the most untapped big action film that's waiting to happen and I'm going to do that.""I will do the big ones but yes, I think the pressure was more from the media that kept reminding me 'hey listen it's about the body, it's about the body, it's about the body' and I'm like no, trust me, I'm going to give you something more. So when I became a producer the first thing I did was try and change that perception because right now, for me, it's about legacy, it's about what I want to leave behind, what I want to do. I'm not going to do four films a year; I'll do one film if that's meaningful and I'll try and make it work. Even if it doesn't, I'm okay,' he added. Watch the complete interview here: John also admitted he was always into fitness, but saw his body as a marketing tool early in his career. 'Always. But you know, I'm a marketing person also. So if it was about the body, I'd market the body. And talking about that, what do you mean by market the body? I mean I positioned myself as someone who has a body to show out there. So if it was the Dostana walking out of the water, if it was the Force, you know, it's fine - I just make the most of it,' he the subject of gender disparity in Hindi cinema, John observed, 'It isn't as much a macho male-dominated industry as it used to be. The lines have been blurred a lot to a large extent.'John Abraham was last seen in the Netflix spy drama 'The Diplomat', directed by Shivam Nair, which revolved around the US Embassy in Iran and followed the story of Uzma, a Delhi woman who travels to Malaysia for work but ends up trapped in Pakistan. His next release, 'Tehran', is set to premiere on Zee5 on August 14, right before Independence Day.- EndsMust Watch
