Brittany Snow Recalls Date With DJ Who Fell Asleep At The Worst Moment
'One of the first dates I'd ever gone on from Raya was this very famous DJ,' the 'Pitch Perfect' actor recalled during a stop by the 'In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele' podcast.
Snow said she didn't want to reveal the person's identity, but it wasn't Diplo or Martin Garrix.
'I'm sure that people can deduce it if they really want to,' she said, adding that the person in question is 'still famous.'
Snow said that the DJ fell asleep during the first three dates.
'Once while we were making out, mid-make out,' she shared, as the host erupted in laughter. 'I'm not kidding, swear to you. '
'We weren't like, doing anything very spicy. It was just making out, and I was sort of like sitting here ... and like kissing him and then all of a sudden I sort of felt like no kissing back,' she continued. 'There wasn't any reciprocation to the kissing.'
'And I looked at him and I pulled back, and he was just dead asleep,' she said.
'I woke him up and I was like, 'Hey, what the fuck is going on?' And he was like, 'Oh man, I'm sorry. I'm just so tired,'' she relayed.
Because her date was 'really apologetic,' she forgave him and decided to go out on another date with him.
'We go out, like, a week later and he comes over to my place ― same thing,' she said, adding that he fell asleep again when the two were kissing.
That time, she took it personally.
'Wow, I must really be just so hot,' Snow quipped.
The two would go on to break things off, with Snow eventually tying the knot with 'Selling the OC' star Tyler Stanaland.
The couple met in 2018 and got engaged the following year. They tied the knot in March 2020, before calling things off just two years later.

'A very easy yes': Heidi Klum returns to 'Project Runway'
In fashion, good things always come back in style. 'Project Runway' returns for Season 21 on July 31 with its first host Heidi Klum for a two-episode premiere (Freeform, July 31 at 9 ET/PT, and streaming on Hulu and Disney+). The competition for fashion designers will continue to air in weekly installments (10 ET/PT). 'It was a very easy yes for me,' Klum tells USA TODAY of returning. Klum, 52, left the series that aired previously on Bravo and Lifetime in 2018 after 16 seasons. She and the show's original mentor, Tim Gunn, departed to create Amazon Prime's similar fashion faceoff 'Making the Cut,' which had a three-season run. Model Karlie Kloss assumed Klum's 'Project Runway' role, followed by Christian Siriano. Siriano, the winner of Season 4, resumes the role of mentor for the 12 contestants vying for a $200,000 cash prize, a feature in Elle and a mentorship with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). 'I helped create the show, and I love the show, and it's my first baby,' Klum says. 'Why not come back to my first baby?' Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Preserved in Klum's mental baby book is a memory from the very first episode, when designers had to transform finds from the grocery store into styles the judges would salivate over. Austin Scarlett, who placed fourth for the season, fashioned a strapless cocktail dress out of cornhusks. 'We had to refrigerate that dress so that it was still good the next day for the runway,' Klum remembers. 'Such a to-do,' she adds, but the design 'set the tone the very first episode, very first season, what 'Project Runway' is all about, and it's about the creativity and what these individuals come up with.' The results are judged this season by Klum, Elle magazine Editor-in-Chief Nina Garcia (who has appeared on every installment) and celebrity stylist Law Roach. Other famous faces stop by to assess the contestants' work, including former judge Michael Kors, comedian Nikki Glaser, and Klum's friends Tyra Banks and Sofía Vergara. Siriano, 39, provides guidance through honest critiques. 'I turned (my win) into a multimillion-dollar company, and I have dressed every major famous person pretty much in the world on every major red carpet,' Siriano says. 'So when I give them advice, it's not just because I worked in fashion for a little while. I literally am working in fashion right now.' Klum describes Siriano as 'basically Tim Gunn's and my baby.' She fought hard for Gunn to be a part of the show to no avail. 'I asked many times for him ‒ if he could also return,' Klum says. 'And not to take anything away from anybody, but I've just obviously always loved working with him.' But ultimately Klum is 'not the network,' she says. 'I'm not the people who are putting everything together. It's like a big puzzle. For me, Tim was always part of this puzzle, and it was not up to me that he was not there at the end of the day. Put it this way: I would have loved to have him there.' But she and Siriano, who has dressed her over the years, have so much fun on the set. 'Literally, we can't stop laughing,' Siriano says. 'We can't stop joking. It's hard sometimes to get the lines out.' But when it's time to judge the designs, they know how to get down to business. 'I keep in mind things that I've seen/worn already,' Klum says. 'What is out there? Do we need it? Does it cut through the noise?' And the competition is stiff, like starched jeans, according to Siriano. 'One of my favorites is Ethan (Mundt), who was on 'Drag Race' and a drag queen, and I think he's really, really talented, but getting him out of drag costuming was important to make real fashion,' Siriano says. 'The females this season are very strong. The men are very boisterous, but I will say that the females are some quiet killers, which I like.'

Washington Black Proves That Black Stories Don't Always Have To Be About Trauma
While there are so many noteworthy stories in film and television that portray Black history realistically — with all its pain, trauma, and suffering — Hulu's newest show Washington Black (based on the novel of the same name) dares to show another side of the coin. While Washington Black recognizes the importance of telling Black stories rooted in trauma and resilience so that we never forget, its true message is that there's also an equal need for historical Black stories filled with joy, hope, and adventure. Delving into the rich history of African settlement in North America, the show weaves a colorful tapestry of how Black culture flourished in Nova Scotia, Canada due to it being the last stop on the Underground Railroad in the late 1800s. The Underground Railroad was the largest anti-slavery movement in America, ferrying thousands of Black fugitives to northern states and Canada so that they could find freedom and build a new life. Washington Black tells the story of what came after. The series recognizes the pain of the time, but it also tells the tale of a hopeful, intelligent, and adventurous young Black man starting a new chapter — one of possibility and uncharted lands. Even today, it's rare to see a show like this featuring a predominantly Black cast. Starring Ernest Kingsley Jr. as the titular character of Washington ('Wash') Black and Sterling K. Brown (executive producer, Academy Award nominee, three-time Emmy winner and newly minted nominee), it takes you alongside Wash's journey as he dares to imagine a future for himself free of the limitations placed upon him by society. At its heart, it's an epic, coming-of-age period piece that creator, showrunner, and executive producer Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, executive producer and showrunner Kimberly Ann Harrison, Kingsley Jr., and Brown discussed further on a Refinery29 x Hulu panel at the show's recent screening event in Los Angeles on July 22. Keep reading for three main takeaways from the panel — and watch Washington Black, now streaming on Hulu. 1. Black stories should celebrate joy as well Sharing stories is a powerful way to heal and Washington Black feels like a breath of fresh air. It recognizes the toll slavery took, while underscoring the breadth of resilience. In the show, Wash was born on a sugar plantation farm in Barbados, but he leaves his past behind to pursue a path of science and invention. 'You have a young man who can see the beauty in things that seem broken to other people,' Kingsley Jr. said. 'He can see the potential, the possibility, and the wonder. It's imbued with so much heart that the team put into it and it was a no brainer [to be part of it].' Wash meets life-changing characters along his journey that change the trajectory of his life. As the viewer, you're able to witness the key stages of his life as he grows into someone enthusiastic about a path that he'd never dreamed of. 'Black folks deserve whimsy, too,' said Brown. 'The idea that all of our stories in American fiction have to focus on trauma or pain is not the only thing that we have to tell. We can come from painful circumstances, but we can transcend those circumstances through the power of imagination, the power of hope, and the power of our joy.' This was a unique project for the creators — a story they were excited to tell because it shined a light on the other side of Black history. 'Reading and seeing this epic adventure, I'd never seen anything through the lens of a young Black boy in this type of scope,' Harrison added. 'That was amazing to me. I look at my own boys and it's something that I can sit down and watch with them. We can dream, discuss, and identify [with the characters]. This opens the door to have discussions.' 2. The themes in Washington Black are universal In the show, Medwin Harris (played by Brown) says, 'The only way Black folks can climb this mountain is if we pull each other along.' Although the series takes place in the past, that statement still rings true more than ever today. According to Hinds, the project was also born from a deep personal connection to the source material. 'I got into the book because I saw my story in Wash,' he said. 'I'm from the Caribbean and on both sides of my family, we've actually traced our roots back to Barbados where the character is from…Between the ages of 14 and 19, I had my own odyssey of different ecosystems and different characters. There was something about Wash's journey that felt really personal. And as any writer knows, you tell a universal story once you find your specific way in.' Growing up, Hinds was drawn to books that were transportive, always featuring a voyage of epic proportions. Because of the universal themes explored during Wash's adventures — resilience, resistance, hope — the show serves as something of an outlet for the Black community, one that can be related to by all. 3. Black history reminds us that we're all connected At a time when Black history is being questioned and banned, it's more important than ever that projects like this exist. Telling Black stories through film and television creates an opportunity for art, but it also powerfully cements our history in a way that can't be erased. 'One of my favorite lines in the show is when Wash says, 'I'm free, you can't take it, even if you kill me,' and that is the truth,' said Hinds. 'That line is about one word, and that's resistance. The show by its existence is an act of resistance and it's an act of history. It's a line in the sand that can't be erased. It's a manifestation of a particular desire that we all had as creators, so in and of itself, it creates history. The fact that a show like that was made by people like this is history. It says we were here, we did that, and they can't take it away.' The show was filmed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Brown noted that the dialect of the Afro Nova Scotian community was almost identical to Gullah culture, a group descended from enslaved Africans in South Carolina, thus proving the undeniable connection that the Underground Railroad produced. It created a space for Black people to flourish and be free, and keeping this connection alive is what drew Brown to the project. 'The idea that you have to erase us in order to appease other people just seems sort of strange and backwards,' Brown said. 'There's been this separation of, 'We're not like them, they're not like us.' But what I'm legitimately hopeful for is that we start to see the ties that bind, the things that make us common, [and] the things that we share with one another. As a spiritual being, I believe that we are all one…I wanted to show where folks from the islands, folks from the states, and folks from across the pond are able to come together and find solace and peace with one another through connection.' While many of us might not be familiar with these deeper aspects of Black history, the show sets up opportunities for education — an invitation to dive deeper into the connections that have allowed Black culture to flourish today.

‘Stay Tuned': Josh Gad, Andrew Rannells reunite for new Hulu comedy
The new series is based on the 1992 film starring John Ritter and Pam Dawber. Actors and best friends Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells are back for the new comedy series 'Stay Tuned,' coming to Hulu. Gad shared the news in an Instagram post, writing, 'For over a decade @andrewrannells and I have been the Laverne and Shirley of our generation (according to our mothers.)" 'It therefore only makes sense to now do a TV series where we can literally do an episode as 'Laverne and Shirley' (assuming the rights to those characters aren't prohibitively expensive and that the algorithm rewards 'Laverne and Shirley' viewership.)' Rannells added in another Instagram post: 'Joshie and I are putting on a show with some new friends! We are very excited to be working with Akiva Goldsman, Greg Lessans, Jordan Cahan and HULU!' The new 'Stay Tuned' series will be based on the 1992 film of the same name, which starred the late John Ritter and Pam Dawber as Roy Knable and Helen Knable, a couple who gets sucked into their TV and are forced to star in one TV show after another. Gad and Rannells starred together in the hit Broadway musical comedy 'The Book of Mormon' and were both nominated in 2011 for the Tony Award for actor in a musical for their roles in the show. Gad is also well known as the voice of Olaf in Disney's popular 'Frozen' movies, while Rannells is known for his roles in the films 'A Simple Favor,' its follow-up 'Another Simple Favor,' and 'The Intern.'
