The Latest ‘Alien: Earth' Trailer Adds Even More Alien Monsters
From the mind of Noah Hawley, Alien: Earth takes a whole new look at the franchise made famous by the likes of Ridley Scott and James Cameron. It shows a story of a ship that crashes on Earth and the aftermath of that. But that's in service of a larger story about scientific attempts to extend and improve life, which leads to one company transferring the consciousness of sick children into adult robot bodies. Yeah. It's a lot. And you can see it all in this brand-new trailer.
This trailer does a pretty good job of setting up how all of these things come together. In the show, Earth is undergoing a scientific race to extend human life. That's led to the creation of cyborgs, which are 'humans with both biological and artificial parts,' synthetics, which are 'humanoid robots with artificial intelligence,' and now, thanks to a company called Prodigy, hybrids, which are 'humanoid robots infused with human consciousness.' That's who Sydney Chandler plays. She's Wendy, the leader of a group of hybrids who have no idea what they're getting into when they are sent in to explore the crash of the Weyland Yutani deep space research vessel USCSS Maginot. The Maginot has acquired and returned with five different alien species for its parent company, and, well, for some reason the ship crashed. What could've possibly gone wrong?
We are super pumped for Alien: Earth and we hope you are too. We'll have much more on the show in the coming weeks, including full coverage of the presence at San Diego Comic-Con.

Lo Bosworth Natale Is Married and Expecting Her First Baby with Husband Dom Natale (Exclusive)
'The Hills' and 'Laguna Beach' alum, who is 4 months pregnant, tied the knot with Natale in an 'intimate wedding' at her parents home on July 20 Lo Bosworth is married and has a baby on the way! The Hills and Laguna Beach alum, 38, tied the knot with investor Dom Natale at the bride's family's home in Laguna Beach on Sunday, July 20. The newlyweds are expecting their first child together, they exclusively reveal to PEOPLE. "We wanted our wedding to meet the moment of where we're at right now," Bosworth tells PEOPLE. "I'm about four months pregnant, and before starting our fertility journey we thought about a big, New York City wedding. Once our family plans got underway however, we changed course to something we knew would be perfect if I was lucky enough to get pregnant: an intimate wedding with our closest family members enjoyed at home. We could take off our shoes, stretch out, enjoy great food and the beautiful decor and relax." The intimate ceremony was attended by 28 of the couple's closest friends and family members. "Getting married at home in Laguna felt right for us — inviting, calming, and full of love," Bosworth shares. "We've both been in NYC for about 15 years and for me, going home to Laguna to get married feels very full-circle." Although the wedding was small, it was everything Bosworth and Natale envisioned. "We wanted an understated, but colorful luncheon that felt inviting instead of stuffy. When your reception is in your backyard and you invite guests to jump in the pool, you need to be laid back about it all," the expectant mother says. "Gorgeous florals" were a non-negotiable for the couple's celebration. Gary Samuelian executed the striped design and stunning arrangements "perfectly." Adding "just the right touch of fun" was a mix-and-match of colorful china, drinkware and florals "in unexpected places." "Even though we celebrated our luncheon in my parent's backyard, we knew it should still feel elevated, unique, and special," Bosworth says. Cassandra Katz of Cassandra Bette Events also made planning the big day "so easy" for Bosworth and Natale. "Hosting at home can present a unique set of challenges, and one of my big concerns was leaving very little for my parents to manage once the wedding was over," Bosworth says. "We pulled it off with a great team and help." As they exchanged traditional vows, Bosworth wore a wedding dress designed and tailored by Hailey Desjardins. She was styled by Thomas Carter Philips, and did her hair and makeup herself. Meanwhile, Natale opted for a Brunello Cucinelli suit. "When we set our date in July, we didn't know if our planned IVF cycle would be successful. I bought a dress (or two) early on in the hopes one would still work if we got lucky," Bosworth says. "Three weeks before my wedding, nothing fit and I put into a call to my stylist friend, Thomas Carter Phillips, who works with an incredibly talented tailor, Hailey Desjardins, to build me a dress from scratch." She continues: "At that point, I was more than three months pregnant, had gained weight from the transfer medications and was starting to show. We decided a classic look that accentuated my bump would be best. My finished dress got delivered at 8 p.m. the night before I left for our wedding, and I could not be more grateful to Tommy and Hailey for saving me in one the most extreme pinches of my life." After Bosworth and Natale said "I do," they shared their first dance to Aretha Franklin's 'Kissin' by the Mistletoe." Despite the wedding taking place in the summer, Bosworth wanted to surprise the Natale family with the 1962 winter song because their surname means Christmas in Italian. Plus, she and Natale met during the holidays "a few years ago." For dinner, guests enjoyed Mexican food served family style. For dessert were slices of five wedding cakes: lemon poppyseed, brown sugar cheesecake, flourless chocolate, carrot, and hummingbird. Guests were also gifted towels with their name embroidered on wedding comes about a month after Bosworth revealed on Northwestern Mutual's A Better Way to Money podcast that she and Natale would be opting for a "micro-wedding.' The couple thought of the idea after a 'spur of the moment engagement party' they had at a local bar. 'Ultimately, we decided to shift our priorities because we would like to start a family. We would like to buy a house and those things cost money and you have to plan for your future,' Bosworth said. 'And so we are going to have a small, family-only wedding this summer. We're going to get married in Laguna Beach."

Book Review: ‘Gwyneth' is a portrait of a pioneering and polarizing ‘It girl' and wellness mogul
'Gwyneth: The Biography,' Amy Odell's thorough portrait of Gwyneth Paltrow, splits her life and career into two distinct periods: the rise (and fall) of the quintessential '90s Hollywood 'It girl,' and her transformation to wellness mogul with the creation of lifestyle brand Goop. In both phases, she struggles with likeability in the press and from the public, often coming across in interviews as elitist and out of touch with 'normal' Americans. But that hasn't stopped her from succeeding on both fronts. Blond, glamorous and patrician, Paltrow is the ultimate nepo baby, the daughter of actor Blythe Danner and TV producer Bruce Paltrow, acting from an early age at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts. In the first half of the book, Odell charts Paltrow's rise from chain-smoking party girl at elite New York private school Spence to Hollywood 'It girl.' She starred in 1990s classics like ' Emma,' 'Sliding Doors' and 'Shakespeare in Love,' for which she won an Oscar at 26. She was on the cover of Vogue and constantly in the tabloids with movie star boyfriends like Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. But she eventually soured on Hollywood and turned to her burgeoning interest in lifestyle and wellness. She started Goop as a newsletter in 2008. Goop promoted some dubious wellness theories and was hit with the same press bashing as she had gotten as an actor. 'Gwyneth has, to her extraordinary credit, found a way to be even more annoying,' the Guardian wrote when Goop launched in 2008. But Odell — who didn't have access to Paltrow or any close family or friends, but based the book on more than 200 interviews with people who know or worked with Paltrow — shows Paltrow has a masterful control of her image, working negative press to her advantage. At Goop, a $66 jade egg meant to be inserted vaginally and a $75 candle called "This Smells Like My Vagina' were ridiculed in the press — and sold out in short order. When Goop launched a travel app, an advertiser sponsored it with the promise that it would reach 10,000 downloads. 'Call it G. Spotting,' Gwyneth told an executive, according to Odell. 'Everybody will make fun of me for being an idiot and we'll have the 10,000 downloads we need right there." It worked. 'Gwyneth: The Biography' is a satisfying read about the pioneering and polarizing actor and business woman. ___ AP book reviews: Mae Anderson, The Associated Press
