10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU Director Says a Sequel Is "Definitively in the Works" With Hopes of a New Trilogy — GeekTyrant
The cast was perfect, and the movie had everything you could want, from angsty teens to grand romantic gestures, and big musical numbers to a prom and a happily ever after.
Now, the film's director, Gil Junger, said he is working on a follow-up trilogy with original 10 Things producer Andrew Lazar. The first film is titled 10 Things I Hate About Dating , and would be followed by 10 Things I Hate About Marriage , and 10 Things I Hate About Kids .
' 10 Things I Hate About Dating is definitively in the works as a feature film,' Junger told Variety. 'We're developing it right now.'
Junger went on to say that he would 'love' to work with Julia Stiles again because her 10 Things character, Kat Stratford, 'really spoke to young women in a very powerful way.' He also mentioned Larry Miller, who played Kat's father, as a possible returning cast member, although he admitted he 'hasn't thought' too much about casting yet.
'If it resonates with [the original cast] and I can have some cameos or even real parts, I'd love [that],' Junger said.
The original 10 Things I Hate About You chronicles the life of Stiles' Kat Stratford, a witty but unpopular teen who lives in the shadow of her overachieving younger sister Bianca, played by Larisa Oleynik. However, her lonely adolescence is remedied when she meets outcast bad boy Patrick Verona, played by the late Heath Ledger.
Ledger died in 2008 at 28 years old. When asked if he would use the films to in part honor Ledger's life, Junger said, 'I think that's a beautiful idea, and the answer is now going to be yes. …He deserves to be loved.'

Delusional Jussie Smollett remains as shameless as ever as he points the finger of blame at everyone else
Don't call it a comeback. Call it another shameless and truth-challenged stab at relevancy. Hate-crime hoaxer extraordinaire Jussie Smollett wants to return to show biz. And with the unmitigated gall of O.J. Simpson claiming he's still looking for the real killer, the disgraced 'Empire' actor wants everyone to know who the real bad guys are. 'The villains are the two people who assaulted me, the Chicago Police Department and, if I may be so brave, the mayor [Rahm Emanuel],' Smollet told Variety in a fluff piece meant to smooth the road for his imminent reboot. 6 Jusse Smollett is trying to reboot his career with a stint on Fox's 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' and shameless, continued claims that he was the victim of a race attack and a corrupt mayor and police force. FOX Yes, the perpetual victim is sticking to his infamous story about a 2019 'beatdown' — and channeling the great modern philosopher Shaggy, who once said, 'It wasn't me.' Smollett has a new R&B album to promote and will be competing on Fox's reality show, 'Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' Plus, he was interviewed for the documentary 'The Truth about Jussie Smollett?' premiering August 22 on Netflix. But it matters not which projects he has in the pipeline or in his past. The greatest performance of the actor's life will always be playing the role of an innocent and wronged man. According to Smollett, he was assaulted for his skin color and sexuality — and tossed to the wolves by a corrupt mayor and law enforcement attempting to shift attention from their botched handling of a police-involved fatal shooting in 2014. 6 In a 2019 interview with Robin Roberts, Smollett complained that some folks doubted his story about being attacked in Chicago. ABC News It's simply too rich for words. But shame has never been his strong suit. 'We're living in a world where the higher-ups, their main mission, in order to do all of the underhanded things that they're doing, is to distract us with the shiny object,' Smollett told Variety. I would say he's living in a bubble of delusion if he thinks anyone is buying the baloney he's peddling. Smollett's concocted MAGA fantasy was truly something. He claimed to have left his Chicago apartment at 2 a.m. — during a polar vortex — to grab a delicacy from Jared Fogle's preferred sandwich shop. 6 Brothers Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo said that Smollett paid them to choreograph the attack on him. Suddenly, Smollett alleged, a masked man screamed, 'Empire!' followed by a gay slur, another 'Empire' and then an anti-black slur. The attacker screamed 'This is MAGA country' and punched him in the face. Then a second man joined, and the pair worked him like a tag team on 'Monday Night Raw.' Only after they left did Smollett realize they had placed a noose around his neck and doused him in bleach. The tale was so insane, he should be banned from ever touching a script with his own pen. Still, sympathy poured in from boldface believers. After all, it was 2019, a time when the truth mattered less than the perception of victimhood. On Twitter, then-Sen. Kamala Harris called it 'an attempted modern day lynching.' Robin Roberts landed an exclusive interview with Smollett on 'Good Morning America,' where he cried and shook his fists at the doubters. If only his attackers were 'Muslim or Mexican or someone black,' he would have more support, dammit. 6 Smollett was arrested less than a month after claiming he was attacked in 2019. CPD He declared himself the 'gay Tupac.' Most sensible people smelled a rat. Then a pair of Nigerian-American siblings, Abimbola and Olabinjo Osundairo — who had been extras on 'Empire' — were busted. During questioning, the brothers Osundairo said Smollett had planned and paid for the beatdown. They even claimed there had been a dress rehearsal. Smollett was arrested for filing a false police report. Charges were initially dropped in exchange for community service and bond forfeiture. The city of Chicago sued him for reimbursement of the money wasted investigating his hoax — and he had the stones to sue right back, claiming he was the victim of 'mass public ridicule and harm.' 6 In his 2019 special 'Sticks & Stones,' Dave Chappelle mocked Smollett's account, calling him 'Juicy Smollye.' Netflix He was indicted again, found guilty, and his conviction was upheld on appeal. In 2024, the verdict was tossed on a technicality. He was not exonerated. Back in May, he soft-launched his return on instagram, writing, 'This false narrative has left a stain on my character that will not soon disappear.' Subtract the word 'false' and this is the most honest statement the man has ever made. He's a spotlight-craving fabulist who exploited racial tensions to increase his fame and, apparently, his 'Empire' paycheck— with no regard for the tax-payer resources he wasted. Or the public trust he broke. 6 Back in May, Smollett soft-launched his return on instagram, writing, 'This false narrative has left a stain on my character that will not soon disappear.' FOX In a 2019 bit about the hoax, comedian Dave Chappelle repeatedly called him 'Juicy Smollye' the 'famous French actor,' while 'The Daily Show' put out a hilarious Lifetime movie-style spoof. In 2023, Fox News released a documentary where the Osundairo brothers recreated the choreographed fight at the scene of the crime, leaving no doubt that they were far more entertaining than Smollett. But America is a forgiving place. Just ask Al Sharpton, who weathered the fallout from a disgusting race and rape hoax in the 1980s — and is now treated as a respectable commentator on MSNBC. What a great country. Not that Smollett will ever admit that fact. Or the real truth about what happened that freezing night in 2019.

A$AP Rocky's Latest Look Is The Sweetest Homage To Rihanna
THE RUNDOWN: Last night, A$AP Rocky stepped out on the red carpet for the premiere of Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest in Los Angeles. The rapper, who shows off his acting chops in the upcoming film, looked dapper in a relaxed nylon suit from the ERL fall 2025 collection. He accessorized with a custom polka-dot tie from the brand, designed by Eli Russell Linnetz. The look was styled by Matthew Henson—who you can also thank for Rocky's quilted blanket ERL moment at the 2021 Met Gala. If the ensemble looks familiar, it's because last month, Rihanna wore the same suit and tie out to dinner at her favorite spot, Giorgio Baldi. (No look is too daring for the style icon to dine in; she also wore sculptural Alaïa to the same restaurant.) Unlike Rocky, Rihanna skipped the nylon button-down shirt and instead sported a see-through Savage X Fenty bra, further cementing her as the foremost trendsetter for edgy maternity style. Rocky and Rihanna might be one of the most stylish couples out there, so it makes sense that the two would dig into each other's closets, share looks, and double their sartorial impact. In an interview with Variety on the carpet at the 2025 Met Gala, the rapper joked that Rihanna was a 'thief' when it came to his closet. 'She be stealing all my pieces, my favorite pieces,' he said, adding that he was waiting to get her back. Now, that time has come, and the pair couldn't look better.
