Dakota Johnson Is ‘Babysitter' To Orlando Bloom's Dog
Orlando Bloom's pet pooch, Biggie Smalls, is one lucky dog. He not only has one of Hollywood's best actors wrapped around his finger but also has actor Dakota Johnson as his 'babysitter,' although temporarily. Biggie Smalls was recently seen resting in Johnson's arms when Bloom was giving an interview on Today. And before anyone knew, the pup hogged the limelight and upstaged the actor with his little barks and adorable look. Orlando Bloom recently visited TODAY's studio on June 9 to talk about his new movies — Prime Video comedy 'Deep Cover' and drama, 'The Cut' with Savannah Guthrie. And the actor was not alone. He bought his fur baby, Biggie Smalls, on the sets. While talking about the films, their conversation was interrupted when Biggie Smalls started barking off-screen. Soon after, Bloom introduced his teacup poodle to the camera, who was resting in Dakota Johnson's arms on a couch. The actor appeared on the show to talk about her upcoming film, 'Materialists,' alongside co-star Chris Evans. Looking at Biggie Smalls's reaction, Bloom joked that the pup was 'looking for attention.' Even Guthrie chimed in and said that the pooch 'has found a new owner.' The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star continued saying that his brown pup 'would never bark' and 'keeps quiet as a mouse.' But maybe the pooch is 'having separation anxiety' looking at his 'Dad' on the other side. And looking at Johnson's gesture, Bloom quipped that she is 'stealing the dog.' However, when the actor bought Biggie Smalls over to Bloom, Johnson said, 'I'm just the babysitter. I'm just the nanny.' Bloom eventually revealed that Biggie Smalls is his 'emotional support animal.' The interview then continued with the actor with the pup 'really enjoying his moment' in front of the camera. And when Craig Melvin asked Johnson about what happened with Biggie Smalls behind the camera during their segment, she replied, 'It's just what I do. I'm here for the people.' The post Dakota Johnson Is 'Babysitter' To Orlando Bloom's Dog appeared first on DogTime.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' final season trailer reveals Jeremiah and Belly's engagement, Conrad's heartbreak
The battle for Belly's (Lola Tung) heart is alive and well in the final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty — and it's all leading to a wedding. The first trailer for the third and final season of Prime Video's adaptation of Jenny Han's beloved book trilogy is finally here, and it teases plenty of drama ahead for Belly and the Fisher brothers after both a long hiatus and a major time jump. But the biggest bombshell in the footage? Belly gets engaged to her current boyfriend Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), even though her first love Conrad (Christopher Briney) is still very much in her heart. "First loves are important," Belly says in the trailer, which features a mashup of Taylor Swift's "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Daylight." "But they're not as important as lasts." The trailer begins with sweet shots of Belly and Jeremiah acting super couple-y now that they're at college together. And Conrad tells a woman all about his first and only love, Belly, while he's away in California. But while Belly tries to tell herself that Conrad is "the past" and Jeremiah is her "future" and "the one," the love triangle reignites as all three return to Cousins for a life-changing summer leading up to the wedding. Watch the full trailer below. According to the official synopsis, the final season picks up at "the end of her junior year in college," which is a departure from Han's final book in the series, We'll Always Have Summer, which is set two summers earlier. The author-showrunner previously told Entertainment Weekly that fans of her books should prepare for changes from the source material. "There are surprises," Han said. "And there are things that aren't exactly like the books." When the final season begins, Belly is happily still together with Jeremiah after choosing him over Conrad in the season 2 finale. While her future seems set, "some core-shaking events" bring Conrad back into her life, reigniting the feelings she long thought were buried. Belly will be forced to make a decision, once and for all, of which Fisher brother she wants to be with. "I feel like I'm doing my job if people are really fighting for their sides," Han previously told EW of the Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah shipper debate. But it all leads to what Han hopes is a "satisfying" conclusion in the series finale, no matter what "team" you root for."A successful love triangle is one where, no matter what happens, people are going to be devastated and heartbroken," Han warned. "Because if the answer feels really clear and easy, then there's no real conflict. No matter what you do, someone's going to be hurt by it." The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty premieres Wednesday, July 16, with episodes rolling out weekly on Prime Video. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' star and creator talk returning for potential future seasons: 'Never say never'
The Summer I Turned Pretty is about to end with the upcoming third season, but the creator and star aren't ruling out a return to Cousins Beach after the series finale airs. As author/showrunner Jenny Han gears up for the release of the final 11 episodes of the Prime Video adaptation of her beloved book trilogy, she reveals that she's not opposed to returning to this story at some point down the line, either for a sequel series or revival picking up with Belly (Lola Tung) and the other characters years later. "Never say never — I never do," Han tells Entertainment Weekly. "If the story is there, then I'm there. As a storyteller, you just get hit with inspiration all the time. If I had a really great idea that I was excited by, that I wanted to keep telling the story, and if [the stars] were excited to do it, then I would be so pumped. It really depends on if I feel like there is more story to tell." Series star Tung is equally into the idea of catching up with her character Belly in the future, in whatever form Han wants to create. "I love working with this group of people and I love working with Jenny," Tung tells EW. "I think it's such a privilege to be any part of her cinematic universe, so if I was ever asked, I'm there." While the idea of potential future seasons of The Summer I Turned Pretty sounds great to the creator, Han admits the real draw for her would simply be to work with Tung and the rest of the cast members again — on any project. "I love working with all these guys, that's at the core of it," Han explains. "I would always welcome working with them on this, or something else. Who knows what the future holds?" The Summer I Turned Pretty follows the complicated love triangle of teen girl Isabel "Belly" Conklin and the two Fisher brothers, Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). The season 2 finale ended just like Han's second book in the trilogy, It's Not Summer Without You, with Belly ultimately ceasing her tumultuous will-they-won't-they dynamic with Conrad to be in a relationship with his younger brother/her best friend, Jeremiah. Season 3 will adapt the entirety of Han's last book in the series, We'll Always Have Summer, and will finally reveal which brother Belly ends up with (and whether it'll be the same ending as the book).Han feels "lucky" that Prime Video gave her the freedom to adapt her book trilogy into three seasons. "Amazon Prime has been very supportive of my vision, and I haven't felt a pressure to keep it going just to keep it going," Han says. "It's all about doing what's best for the story. And you obviously want to give the fans a really satisfying ending." For more on The Summer I Turned Pretty's final season, check out EW's full cover story. The final season premieres Wednesday, July 16, on Prime Video. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
