Judy Greer reveals what she plans to change ahead of her 50th birthday
Judy Greer "doesn't want to make any changes" in her life just because she is turning 50.
The '27 Dresses' star - who has been married to TV executive producer Dean E. Johnsen and is stepmother to his two children - will celebrate her milestone birthday in July and joked that she is "kind of boring" so she is just planning on going on a trip with her family to mark the occasion.
She told PEOPLE: "I'm taking a trip with my family. I guess I'm kind of boring. Everything in my life is really nice and really good, and I'm really happy, so I kind of just don't want to make any changes."
Throughout the course of her career, Judy has become known for her roles in films such as '13 Going On 30' and 'Jawbreaker' but admitted as she moved towards the end of her forties that while she felt "very lucky" to be working, there was still a "long way to go" in terms of providing actresses her age across the board with "better" things to do.
She said: "I'm very lucky to be an actress in my 40s right now because there are great roles for us.'
'There are great directors and writers out there, and so I think that we're just getting served better material than those women were when I was in my 20s. There's a long way to go. Please don't get me wrong, but it's a start and I'll take it!"
Judy can now be seen in the Apple+ sports comedy series 'Slick' and stars alongside Owen Wilson, Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay and Timothy Olyphant.
The synopsis reads: "After the collapse of his marriage [to Greer's character Amber-Linn] and getting fired from his job at an Indiana sporting goods store, ex-pro golfer Pryce Cahil hedges his bets, and future, entirely on a troubled 17-year-old golf phenom named Santi [Dager]."

White Lotus star bombarded with cash from fans
Patrick Schwarzenegger was bombarded with money from fans while they watched him on 'White Lotus'. The 31-year-old actor made the revelation during an interview with People, where he sat down with his former co-star on the show, Aimee Lou Wood. They were promoting their new partnership with Venmo, ahead of the launch of the brand's debit card and expanded checkout features. He said: "I don't know if this ever happened to you, Aimee – I sent it in our group text from White Lotus – but I have people that sent me money on Venmo during episodes of 'White Lotus'. "It was really strange." In the show, Schwarzenegger plays the eldest son in an extremely rich family about to face ruin, over fraud allegations. He added: "I sent it all back, don't worry. But I did. I got a lot of people that sent me money." Wood, 31, said her own memories of filming involved a rather expensive coconut habit while on location in Thailand. "It was chronic," she said, adding: "I could not stop with the coconuts. I just absolutely loved them! I was so hydrated. I think I was overly hydrated, actually." The pair spent seven months filming the hit HBO series last summer, and said their new work with Venmo came at the perfect time – days after they had been discussing the possibility of collaborating again. "The whole experience was just really fun and put us in a fun situation to get to dance with each other", Schwarzenegger said. Wood agreed, and reflected on the intense bond formed during the extended production, admitting to feeling "separation anxiety" after filming wrapped. She said: "Seven months all of us together, in the same place, and then I went back to England and it was so lonely." The two stars have remained close, spending significant time together in recent weeks, working on the same shoots.

'I'm not surprised': Tom Hanks breaks silence on daughter E.A. Hank's 'abusive' childhood claims made in her bombshell memoir
Tom Hanks has broken his silence on his daughter E.A. Hanks' claims she endured an 'abusive' childhood. The two-time Oscar winner, 68, praised E.A., 43, for the deeply personal memories of her difficult childhood she shared in her 2025 autobiography, The 10: A Memoir of Family And The Open Road. In it, she detailed the "violence and deprivation" she suffered at the hands of her late mother, Samantha Lewes. "It's a pride because, I think, she shares it with me, she's been very open about what the process is," Hanks told Access Hollywood of his feelings about the book at "The Phoenician Scheme" premiere last week. "I'm not surprised that my daughter had the wherewithal, as well as the curiosity, as well as, I'm going to say, perhaps, the 'shoot herself in the foot' kind of wherewithal in order to examine this thing that I think she was incredibly honest about." 'We all come from checked or cracked lives, all of us, despite the fact that part of it would seem as though she worked for some international well-known firm with a copyrighted last name,' the 'Forrest Gump' actor, 68, continued. 'She knows that, and she leans into absolutely everything of it, and I think anyone who does that is a bold journalistic literary mind, and I'm thrilled I can say the same thing about my daughter.' Hanks also explained that as a father, he realized who his daughter was when she was 6 weeks old, as he examined her 'personality,' 'temperament,' and the way she viewed the world through her 'body language.' The 'Cast Away' star shares E.A. and son Colin Hanks, 47, with Lewes, to whom he was married from 1978 to 1987. Lewes, born Susan Dillingham, passed away in 2002 from lung cancer. She was 49. In her tell-all book, E.A. recalled moving to Sacramento with her mum after her famous parents got a divorce. The author claimed that Lewes struggled with mental health issues and was often abusive toward her. 'She pushed me, shook me, pulled at my hair and locked me in a closet once or twice … she told me there were men hiding in her closet who were waiting for us to go to sleep to come out and do horrible things,' E.A., whose full name is Elizabeth Ann, wrote. She detailed her lifestyle at Lewes' home, explaining she was never told to brush her teeth, and there was either loads of food or nothing at all. She also alleged that Lewes would discuss her 'miscarried babies' and suggested E.A. would 'join them in eternal limbo.' When E.A. was in seventh grade, she moved to Los Angeles with her famous father after her mom's 'emotional violence became physical violence.' At the time, Tom had remarried his current wife, Rita Wilson, whom he wed in 1988. 'Rita's not really a stepmother, she's my other mother,' she told People in April. 'When I say my parents, I really mean my dad and Rita, because they've been together since before I can really remember.' Tom and Wilson, 68, share sons Chet, 34, and Truman, 29.

Olivia Munn feels as if she has reached ‘the other side' in life after health fight
Olivia Munn has reached 'the other side' in her life after a series of health traumas. The 'Your Friends and Neighbours' actress, 44, endured a string of brutal surgeries after a cancer diagnosis upended her life, and she has now spoken about how she feels as if she has been given a second chance at enjoying motherhood and her career. She told People: 'I'm so grateful to be on the other side. Everything feels easy in a way. 'I feel so at peace. If I can stay happy and healthy, then I just want to sail into the rest of my life.' The actress has three-year-old son Malcolm with comedian and actor John Mulaney, 42, and says handling him puts her into 'survival' mode at times when he unleashes tantrums. Olivia was diagnosed in April 2023 with luminal B breast cancer – a fast-growing, hormone-driven form of the disease – just months after recovering from postpartum anxiety following Malcolm's birth. She said about the experience: 'It was a whole other perspective, because I had been struggling with life in postpartum, and now I was so desperate to stay alive. 'From the moment I received my diagnosis, it just became a march forward.' She underwent a series of major medical interventions, including a double mastectomy, hysterectomy and ovary removal – and began IVF treatment on a specialised protocol for cancer patients. She and John were able to retrieve and fertilise seven eggs. Olivia added: 'I said, 'I really don't think I'll be okay unless we get two girl embryos. I know this puts me at risk, but I just need you to support me'. 'He said, 'Whatever you need'.' That same day, they learned they had two healthy female embryos. In September 2024, the couple had their daughter Méi via surrogate. Olivia said: 'We were so lucky to find someone so kind who we bonded with so much.' She and John couple married in July that year and said she felt as if she recently needed to get back to acting to 'energise' herself. Olivia is now filming season two of 'Your Friends and Neighbours' in New York, commuting regularly back to California, where John is raising the children and taping his Netflix variety show 'Everybody's Live'. She added: 'It's a dance right now with our schedules. 'We make it work simply because we have the mindset that it's a blessing.'
