Gabby Windey to host Alex Cooper's "Love Overboard" dating show
State of play: Denver's former co-star of " The Bachelorette" was named the new host of " Love Overboard," a Hulu dating series from "Call Her Daddy" creator Alex Cooper.
The unscripted show tosses a group of "sexy singles" onto a "luxury yacht," where they're expected to "mix and mingle and find love" on the high seas, per the show's description.
"In the end, only one couple will reign supreme. Who will rise to the top, and who will be left stranded?"
What she's saying:"We're setting sail with Hulu's newest reality show," Windey said in a teaser filmed on deck. "And I'm your host! Let's make some waves."
Zoom out: Windey's Colorado connection runs deep. The 34-year-old is a former Broncos cheerleader, ICU nurse at the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, and graduate of the CU Colorado Springs.
Catch up quick: She made her TV debut on Season 26 of ABC's "The Bachelor" in 2022. Later that year, she co-starred on Season 19 of "The Bachelorette" and placed second on "Dancing with the Stars" that fall.

‘Alien: Earth' is my most anticipated new TV show in years — here's 3 reasons I'm excited, and 2 I'm worried
'Alien: Earth' premieres in less than a month. On August 12, the first TV show set in the iconic sci-fi universe arrives on FX and Hulu (or Disney Plus in the U.K.), and to say my hype is reaching intergalactic levels would be quite an understatement. I'm a superfan of the 'Alien' franchise, with the 1979 original ranking as my favorite movie of all time, and the franchise as a whole my favorite in all of media. Naturally, 'Alien: Earth' has been on my must-watch list since its initial announcement back in late 2020. It's been a long five years to get to this point, but finally, after so much waiting and speculating, we're just a few weeks away. Now that 'Alien: Earth's' debut is on the horizon, my excitement is certainly increasing, but there are a few pesky voices in my back of my mind preaching a degree of caution. After all, I've been burned by the 'Alien' franchise before. So, here's why I'm very hyped about this show, but also forcing myself to keep my excitement in check ahead of 'Alien: Earth' arriving in less than a month. Perhaps most importantly, at this pre-release stage, 'Alien: Earth' appears to have nailed the distinct look of the Alien universe. The retro-futuristic aesthetic, which blends advanced technology with grimy industrialism, gives the series a unique look, and I'm glad to see that clearly a lot of attention has been paid to making 'Alien: Earth' match this design ethos. This gives me confidence that even if I ultimately have some problems with the show's narrative chops (though at this stage, I have little reason to believe that will be the case), at least 'Alien: Earth' will always be appealing to my eyes. Overall, it's a good sign that the show's creative team is taking the universe seriously and wants 'Alien: Earth' to fit within it from a visual standpoint. Much of 'Alien: Earth's' story is being kept under wraps, and as somebody who doesn't want too much spoiled before watching, I'm very thankful for this approach. However, the narrative morsels we have received are pretty darn tasty. We know the show will focus on Wendy (Sydney Chandler), a young girl who has her mind implanted within the body of a white-blooded synthetic. It's an intriguing setup and feels fitting for the 'Alien' franchise, which often explores what it means to be human, especially in Ridley Scott's divisive prequel duology (Nevertheless, I'm a "Prometheus" defender to this day). Plus, I'm glad to see 'Alien: Earth' appears to be mining fresh material, instead of being yet another tale of deep space truckers who stumble upon a Xenomorph and are stalked through various claustrophobic corridors. Anybody who's consumed some of the extended 'Alien' fiction, such as the various original novels out there, will tell you that 'Alien' is well-suited to episodic storytelling. While the movies are the franchise's core, more meaty stories can be successfully told in this world. Of course, I love the movies, and thought last year's 'Alien: Romulus' was a phenomenal return-to-form, but with a two-hour runtime, the narrative has to progress at a pretty fast clip. Therefore, I'm pretty intrigued to see what showrunner Noah Hawley can do with an eight-episode arc. This should allow us to fully connect with its cast before the Alien shows up to wreak havoc, and probably murder more than a few of the characters we've grown seriously attached to. My single biggest concern is how 'Alien: Earth' will fit into the series' established canon. 'Alien' and its first three sequels are all about Ellen Ripley's quest to stop even a single Xenomorph getting to Earth, because in her own words, 'If one of those things gets down here, then that will be all!' Yet, 'Alien: Earth' appears primed to tell us that Ripley's quest to stop the Xenos from finding a way into our big blue planet was seemingly in vain. They already made it, and years earlier. Granted, it's not like previous 'Alien' media haven't played fast and loose with the series' previous canon, but I'm hoping 'Alien: Earth' finds a satisfying way to fit into the timeline and doesn't totally contradict what came before it. There's an increasing sense among 'Alien' fans that everything is building up to a new 'Alien vs. Predator' crossover event. For example, the latest trailer for 'Predator: Badlands' features a brief sight of the Weyland-Yutani logo, and the first 'Alien: Earth' preview includes a line about 'predatory' creatures, which feels like an explicit wink towards viewers. I believe that the 'Alien' and 'Predator' franchises work best standalone, and I would rather the two remain separate going forward. But based on all this teasing, not to mention comments from 'Alien: Romulus' director Fede Alvarez, it does appear the two sci-fi titans will be meeting again in the future. I'm hoping that 'Alien: Earth' can be a great 'Alien' show first and not just a backdoor setup for a new stab at an 'Alien vs. Predator' movie. The 'Alien' universe is great enough on its own that it doesn't need added Predators.

5 best new movies to watch this weekend on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and more (July 19-20)
For this time of year, it's been a fairly quiet week for new movies across the best streaming services. But there are still plenty of options if you're looking for what to watch this weekend. Leading the pack are two premium video-on-demand offerings: DreamWorks' live-action remake of "How to Train Your Dragon" and the AI horror turned action heroine "M3GAN 2.0." On Netflix, you'll find the psychological thriller "Wall to Wall," a twist-filled slow burn with an ending you'll never see coming. Hulu just got "The Amateur," Rami Malek's divisive action thriller. And HBO Max just got a nightmarish twist on the typical romcom formula with "I Love You Forever." So without further ado, let's dive into the best new movies to watch this week on streaming. DreamWorks hopped on the live-action remake train with "How to Train Your Dragon," and it seems to be a resounding success for the studio so far, pulling in over $450 million at the box office worldwide. It may not capture all of the same charm in live-action, but the story will undoubtedly be familiar and endearing to fans of the original. In a fantastical world where Vikings and dragons are sworn enemies, everything changes after Hiccup (Mason Thames), the awkward son of the village chief, encounters an injured Night Fury and learns that dragons might not be the terrifying monsters his people believe them to be. As he nurses the dragon Toothless back to health, an unlikely friendship forms. Together, they confront a looming danger threatening both humans and dragons, and Hiccup sets out to prove that both can coexist peacefully after all. Streaming now with purchase on Amazon or Apple Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Netflix has another riveting new thriller on its hands, and it's shaping up to be the streamer's next hit. After office worker Woo-sung (Kang Ha-neul) takes on a hefty debt to buy his first apartment in a crowded South Korean city, the thrill of homeownership quickly gives way to anxiety when relentless, unexplained noises keep the entire building from getting a wink of sleep. In his search for answers (and a bit of peace), he joins forces with his upstairs neighbor, Jin-ho (Seo Hyun-woo), while Eun-hwa (Yeom Hye-ran), the building's no-nonsense apartment rep, struggles to maintain order among the increasingly agitated residents. And the suffocating summer heat isn't helping anyone keep their cool. As the strange noises get worse, dread creeps in, inch by inch, until you start questioning every sound and thinking twice about living so close to strangers. Watch it now on Netflix "M3GAN 2.0" failed to tap into the same viral success that the first movie enjoyed back in 2022, but as someone who had a blast watching it in theaters, I encourage you to ignore the haters and check it out for yourself. It's just the thing if you're in the mood for a popcorn movie with "Terminator" vibes. The first "M3GAN" introduced us to the eerily lifelike android (played by Amie Donald and voiced by Jenna Davis), a creation of roboticist Gemma (Allison Williams) as a high-tech companion for her orphaned niece, Cady (Violet McGraw). But when M3GAN became self-aware and dangerously overprotective, Gemma and Cady were forced to shut her down (or so they thought). The sequel picks up two years later after a new android, AMELIA (Ivanna Sakhno), leaves a trail of bodies in her wake. To stop her, Gemma and Caddy have no choice but to team up with a resurrected M3GAN to keep her rogue successor from unleashing untold AI horrors upon the world. Buy or rent now on Amazon or Apple Based on Robert Littell's novel, "The Amateur" opens like a classic espionage thriller: CIA codebreaker Charlie Heller (Rami Malek) is living an idyllic life with his wife, Sarah (Rachel Brosnahan), until everything shatters when she's killed in a terrorist attack while visiting London. To get revenge, Charlie taps into his intelligence training to track down the culprits, only to be blocked by the very agency he works for. When the CIA refuses to act, he takes matters into his own hands, blackmailing his way into a crash course in field operations to secure the green light to hunt down the killers himself. With zero field experience, he's way over his head and no match in a shootout, but his intellect and ingenuity may just give him the upper hand to finish the job the CIA won't. Watch it now on Hulu "I Love You Forever" has a pitch that definitely has me intrigued. It's a self-proclaimed "subversive" twist on the classic romcom formula of girl meets boy. At its center is Mackenzie (Sofia Black-D'Elia), a 25-year-old law student whose dating life is a blur of nameless hookups and zero attachment. That changes when she meets Finn (Ray Nicholson), a charming journalist who seems to offer something more substantial. But as the initial spark fades and cracks begin to show, Mackenzie is forced to reckon with Finn's darker side as well. Red flags pile up as their relationship shifts from love bombing to controlling behavior, eventually spiraling into emotional abuse. As she scrambles to trust herself and figure out how her dream relationship became such a nightmare, she questions her own ideas about love and the stories we tell ourselves about happily ever after.
