Bethany community comes together to grant 5-year-old boys Make-A-Wish
CONNECTICUT (WTNH) — Community members came together Thursday to support a special young boy.
Yard Goats, Make-A-Wish celebrate World Wish Day
WPLR's Chaz and AJ, Connecticut Make-A-Wish and the Bethany Volunteer Fire Department teamed up to help raise money for 5-year-old Teddy, a Bethany resident who was diagnosed with cancer when he was just eight months old.
Teddy loves giraffes, dance parties and Hot Wheels. His one Make-A-Wish wish was to have a backyard race track — a dream that will soon become a reality.
Since the beginning of his journey, the outpouring of love and support that we and Teddy has received… we can't even describe,' Cara Hutchinson said. 'We are forever grateful to everybody, the amount of love. It's such a beautiful thing.'
'He is going to have this as not only as something he can remember today,' Tara Navara, chief development officer for Make-A-Wish, said. 'It's a memory that's going to continue for a lifetime, as he experiences his wish in his own backyard.'
The $10,000 needed for Teddy's backyard race track wish was raised in less than 30 hours.

Sofia Coppola's Daughter Romy Mars, 18, Waxes Poetic on the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous in Luxe New Music Video
Romy Mars, the daughter of Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars, released a music video for her song "A-Lister" The music video features her swimming in a pool, getting snapped by paparazzi and possibly even eloping with a famous actor Romy previously went viral when she was 16 for a TikTok video she filmedAs a member of the Coppola family, Romy Mars was born into movie royalty — meaning she knows full well the true meaning of 'A-lister.' Romy, the 18-year-old daughter of Sofia Coppola and her husband, Phoenix rocker Thomas Mars, released a new music video for her single 'A-Lister,' a pop song she co-wrote that features tongue-in-cheek commentary on the surface-level lifestyles of the rich and famous. 'I love this golden sunny West Coast/Sceney plastic world/I miss being a real girl, sure/But I'm not a real girl anymore,' she sings on the song. Romy, who was raised in New York City, also sings about meeting and dating an actor, posting pictures from a private jet and dyeing her hair until she's a 'blonde bore.' 'One day I'll be bored/With everything that I've got/Get out of fancy clothes/Right after they get the shot/Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht/Just to feel something real,' she sings. In the music video, she shows off life in the lap of luxury, from swimming in a pool, getting snapped by paparazzi, getting styled by a team of three and possibly even eloping with a famous actor. Romy first launched her music career in May 2024 with the release of the singles 'Stuck Up' and 'From a Distance.' 'So proud of Romy's first 2 songs out today!' her Oscar-winning mom wrote on Instagram at the time. Romy — who has a 15-year-old sister, Cosima — previously went viral when she was 16 after she revealed in a TikTok video that she'd been grounded for trying to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on her dad's credit card to have dinner with a friend from camp. In the video, the singer also shared that she decided to film the TikTok — which showed her casually making a vodka pasta sauce — because she was "already grounded" and her parents' "biggest rule is I'm not allowed to have any public social media accounts." "Here's why," she explained while holding up a Grammy award with a sarcastic smile. "Because they don't want me to be a nepotism kid, but TikTok is not gonna make me famous, so it doesn't really matter.' In 2024, Romy had a small role in Megalopolis, directed by her grandfather, Francis Ford Coppola. Read the original article on People

‘Just Sing' Doc Shows The Heartfelt Real-Life World Of ‘Pitch Perfect'
When the filmmakers behind Just Sing first picked up their cameras, they weren't sure what story they were going to be telling. That's the risk — and to some, the thrill — of vérité documentary filmmaking. The only certain thing about the production was the subject: the SoCal VoCals, an elite college a cappella group from the University of Southern California, which is known for its powerhouse vocals, precision, showmanship, and an alumni roster that's packed with talented singers. But since the film's narrative is built around a competition, one which the filmmakers couldn't control, the outcome was impossible to script. 'It was part of the stress,' admits co-director Angelique Molina during a recent interview. 'If they had lost in the first round, we had to ask ourselves, 'where does the story go?'' That uncertainty hung over the production from the very beginning, and had to be a part of pitch meetings. Would the group advance through regionals? Would their stories resonate with everyone? Would there even be a satisfying emotional arc if none of these hardworking young singers got their moment in the spotlight? Thankfully, Just Sing does feature such an arc — one that isn't rooted solely in the outcome of the national championship, but rather in personal stories of the members of the SoCal VoCals. The audience is pulled in, and ultimately entertained, not just by the impeccable performances, but via an inside look at average, everyday people. That speaks to the openness of the singers, and the talent of the filmmakers. The documentary, which premieres at the Tribeca Festival on Friday (June 6), is ultimately joyful, as the camera follows the group of college students attempting to balance rehearsals, schoolwork, personal challenges, and the relentless drive to become not just good performers, but a winning team. Throughout that journey, the filmmakers capture quiet moments of vulnerability and celebration, including late-night practices, difficult conversations with parents who have given so much to see their children be able to sing, and the elation that comes with a life built around the arts – even if so many of them have no idea what's coming next and don't have a backup plan. Shot over the course of more than 100 days, Just Sing follows the SoCal VoCals from auditions and rehearsals through regionals, semifinals, and the finals of the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella — the same contest that inspired Pitch Perfect, though the tone here is far more grounded. This is real. In between stellar a cappella renditions of tracks by superstars both modern and from the past, the viewer really gets to know the students. Some are coming to terms with their own identities, while others recognize the hardships their families went through to give them this opportunity. 'A cappella brought them together,' says co-director Abraham Troen, 'but they each had their own lives, dreams, and challenges. That's what made the story feel bigger than the competition.' For Troen and Molina, the real breakthrough came not from any single performance, but in those subdued moments — during one-on-one interviews, especially long conversations over coffee, where the filmmakers chose which students they wanted to focus on, in addition to telling the story of the group as a whole. 'We didn't try to steer or manufacture emotion,' says Molina. 'They felt that, and they responded with honesty.' Connecting with the students came naturally, but filming was never easy. The directors embedded themselves into the troupe's daily routine, following the students from early morning classes through evening rehearsals that stretched well past midnight. 'That physical exhaustion of constantly being present — that was a challenge,' Molina says. 'But it was joyful, too. Worth it.' The filmmakers had other hurdles to clear as well, including the incredibly complicated and fraught world of music licensing. The SoCal Vocal's set list throughout the competitions featured everything from Lady Gaga to Beyoncé to Bob Dylan, and anyone who knows anything about placing songs into visual media knows such choices don't come cheap. 'We're really proud of the music we licensed,' says producer Sarah Thomson. 'We had an amazing music supervisor, and thankfully, nearly everyone said yes.' The team's careful planning and early outreach helped avoid problems in the future, like having to replace important music in post-production – something that simply wasn't an option here. The filmmakers needed to show the performances, and the students got to pick their own tunes. If just one act had declined, that may have been the end of this movie. The final cut of this documentary feels perfectly polished, but according to those who made the film, the process was a little messy. 'You can't script life,' Troen says. 'We were directing and filming at the same time, passing the camera between us, deciding who goes home with whom, who gets miked up out of 16 people. It was like a dance.' Even the edit evolved slowly. 'We had to ask, where does the story go? It wasn't about who was 'better,' it was about which stories could move the narrative forward.' 'In a cappella, sure, there are leads,' says Molina, 'but to sound like one voice, you have to be on the same page. That's what we tried to do as filmmakers, too.' This documentary, which is, at its heart, about something fairly simple that thousands of students take part in every year, feels both triumphant and normal – as can so many things in a life. Whether the SoCal VoCals win or not becomes almost secondary, though of course there's plenty of tension. 'We think the film will feel both bittersweet and triumphant, no matter what,' says Troen. 'Because at the end, they graduate. That's the real emotional payoff.'

‘Big Bang Theory' star Kunal Nayyar gets candid on if he'd be open to a reboot
We'd love to put this plan into motion. After starring as astrophysicist Raj in 'The Big Bang Theory' for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019, Kunal Nayyar would love to get the gang back together. But, it might be too soon to be shouting 'Bazinga!' just yet. 12 Kunal Nayyar attends the 'South Asians at the Oscars' Pre-Oscars Party. Getty Images for A-Game Public Relations 'First of all, I would be game because I'd love to spend more time with people who are my family,' Nayyar, 44. 'But look, we only ended in 2019. I'm not sure you're legally allowed to have a reunion. What? Six years after the show ends!' 'I think that would obviously have to mature a little bit,' the 'A.J. Fikry' alum continued. 'Even though the show ended in 2019, it's still on every single day, so it feels like even though the show is over, it's still on. So I think some time would have to pass, and hopefully, if I'm not too old to wear a t-shirt or a sweater vest, yes, I would love to come back on.' The CBS sitcom followed a group of best friends and roommates and also starred Kaley Cuoco as Penny, Jim Parsons as Sheldon Cooper, Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter, Simon Helberg as Howard Wolowitz, and Mayim Bialik as Amy Farrah Fowler. 12 Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg on 'The Big Bang Theory.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection When the show went off air, fans weren't completely out of the 'Big Bang' universe, as the spinoff 'Young Sheldon' started in 2017, which followed Sheldon Cooper growing up in East Texas. 'There is an entire generation of people who are watching 'Young Sheldon' for the first time, and then they realize there is an entire 12 years of a show after 'Young Sheldon,' so it's the greatest gift,' Nayyar gushed, 'and it was one of the greatest periods of our life, and we are all so lucky to have lived it.' If the network were to get the cast back together for one more hoorah, the actor knows exactly what the close-knit friend group would be up to. 12 Beth Behrs, Kunal Nayyar on 'Big Bang Theory.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection 'I think we would just be sitting on the couch eating Chinese food like we always have. That's the family, and the family always stays together,' the actor told The Post. Looking back at his time on set, the comedian admitted that it was hard to stay in character while dealing with a room full of hilarious stars. And one funny man, in particular, is to blame. 'You know, Simon Helberg, who played Wolowitz, is still the funniest human to have ever lived,' Nayyar stated. 'Any time I'm in a scene with him, he would just do something that would set me off. I'm not sure I was pissing them off, but we show up in front of a live audience. You have to get it right. You can't mess around. I was quite embarrassed because I would always break, and I would wait for the camera to turn to the other actor, and then I would break and come back.' 12 Nathan Fillion, Johnny Galecki, Kunal Nayyar on the CBS sitcom. ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection 'But I was terrible so I'm apologizing to everyone,' he added. 'We were very lucky to have a really loving and happy set for 12 years.' These days, the 'Criminal: UK' star is still in touch with 'everyone,' explaining that their bond is one for the books. 'You can't go through a run like that without being [close],' confessed Nayyar. 'I spent more time with them than I did with my actual family. So I'm in touch with everyone. We are all still very close.' 12 'The Big Bang Theory.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection Although, don't expect this cast to have a text chain. 'It's individual text,' Nayyar teased, 'I have like 70 family group chats, so no more group chats!' Over the years, the tech creator has taken on a variety of roles but has one genre in mind that he'd be open to exploring next. 'I would love to do true crime detective, badass kind of work,' revealed Nayyar. 'Just to explore that world, obviously, because I played one specific character on television for so long. I did a TV show on Netflix called 'Criminal: UK.' I got nominated for a BAFTA for that. I did a show for Apple called 'Suspicion.' I did a movie called 'A.J. Fikry.' Predominantly, mostly dramatic work, but it's something different and nice to explore.' 12 Laura Spencer, Kunal Nayyar in 'The Big Bang Theory.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection Nayyar also shared who his dream co-star would be, although he couldn't pick just one. 'If Philip Seymour Hoffman were alive, he'd be my greatest guest star of all time,' Nayyar detailed. 'I love Jeffrey Wright, Tom Hanks, all the classic actors who I really, really look up to. I would love to work opposite of.' Along with being a seasoned actor, Nayyar is proving he's more like his on-screen character than some may think, having created the new app IQ121 (pronounced IQ One-Two-One). 'I think all of us actors will admit that we bring aspects of our personality to all the characters we play,' Nayyar said about playing Raj. 'If that means a part of me is nerdy, I am happy to accept it.' 12 Kunal Nayyar's new app designed to help individuals, families and professionals organize, manage and safely store essential life documents and digital assets. 12 Kunal Nayyer in season 2 of 'Criminal: UK.' ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection 12 Kunal Nayyar in 'Criminal: UK.' ©Netflix/Courtesy Everett Collection 'Biggest similarities, there are quite a few, obviously,' he expanded. 'Obviously, we are very different in real life. I have no issues talking to women. I've been married a long time now, but there are a lot of similarities. I am obsessed with 'Star Wars,' I am a big comic book nerd; there are many ways in which we are similar, and of course, there are many ways in which we are different.' When it comes to putting his all into this work, as long as their is a creative outlet involved that he's passionate about – Nayyar is all in. 'I don't really differentiate between creating an app or acting – for me, it's all a creative process,' he shared. 'I love the idea of creating this app, and I love the idea of being on set and shooting a movie or shooting a TV series, so I don't think there is one or another. I feel, in my heart, I am going to do it with the purest energy I can.' 12 Kunal Nayyar in 'The Storied Life of AJ Fikry.' Vertical Entertainment 12 Kunal Nayyar. Vertical Entertainment Nayyar's new app, meanwhile, was created while he was on a flight from London to Los Angeles, thinking of all the info he needed to get his parents before he booked their trip. 'IQ121 was actually born because I live between Los Angeles, London and New Delhi, and I have family scattered all over the world,' he explained. 'And every time I needed to book a flight for my parents to come visit me, it's like, 'Can you please scan your passport? Can I get your license? I've got to fill this out. So, I was like, why don't we have one place, a digital storehouse for the family, where we can create a place that is safe and encrypted for us to share sensitive documents.' In this day and age of technology, it's more important than ever to have a safe and easy space to access and share documents, as well as pictures and personal information. 12 Kunal Nayyar attends the Royal Film Performance and Global Premiere of 'Gladiator II.' Getty Images for Paramount Pictures 'That is sort of how this came together,' he added. 'For me, it was more out of a necessity. I was like we need to create something so families scattered all over the world [can access it]. This is exactly why I created this and why it's very important for our times.' Nayyar hopes users will use IQ121 for years to come for a multitude of reasons. 'It's not just a digital storehouse for sensitive, familial documents; it's also a place [where] you can upload photographs and memories. I hope ultimately it becomes a digital file you can then hand down to generations in the family.'
