Best Vs. Worst Movie Parents
Movie parents can truly make or break a character's journey — or sometimes even the entire plot. Whether they're supporting their children every step of the way, or failing them so horrifically that it deserves a sentence, movie parents have a serious impact. So today I'm breaking down the good, the bad, and the ugly. We're talking about movie parents that are so great, you want to crawl into the screen and ask them to become adopted. BUT, we're also talking about the parents that are so awful, they deserve to go to jail. Or at the very least, movie jail. Let's start with the best movie parents: Dill and Rosemary Penderghast from Easy A make parenting look easy. These two are cool parents that are actually cool. They support Olive in her times of need, without ever stepping too far. They're the ultimate movie parents. Molly and Arthur Weasley from Harry Potter are the magical duo that we all love and deserve. They raised 7 kids, welcomed Harry like he was their own, and somehow still made time to knit sweaters. Elastigirl from The Incredibles protected her kids (including a newborn), helped save the world, and literally stretched herself thin. We love a multitasking queen. Tess Coleman from Freaky Friday may have had a mother-daughter fight that let to a body ultimately it was out of love. She's a rockstar and plus, she's Jamie Lee Curtis, what can we say? Mel Horowitz from Clueless was tough on the outside, but a total softie on the inside. His iconic line, "You divorce wives, not children," sums up his dedication to Cher. He shows up and always looks out for her. Mac and Brenda MacGuff from Juno handled teenage pregnancy like bosses. They support Juno throughout her journey, all while being funny too. Tom and Kate Baker from Cheaper by the Dozen somehow had the patience to have 12 children, and raised them with patience and love. Their family dynamic was very chaotic and a little messy, but they always figured things out in the end. Donna Sheridan from Mamma Mia raised her daughter on her own while running a hotel in Greece. Sure, keeping the father's identity a secret was complicated, but Donna's main goal was always keeping her daughter safe! Morticia and Gomez Addams from The Addams Family were glamorous and fiercely family-oriented. Honestly for a family that's "creepy and kooky," this parenting duo is pretty wholesome. Daniel Hillard from Mrs. Doubtfire may have done a bit much to see his children, but his heart was in the right place. Did he need to dress up as a nanny? Perhaps not, but he just really loved his kids, okay? Edna and Wilbur from Hairspray believed in Tracy from the very start — their unwavering support helped her blossom into a confident, successful dancer. And now, the everything you just read, because these parents are the complete opposite. When I say most of them should be behind bars, I mean it. Harry and Zinnia Wormwood from Matilda were neglectful, hostile, and downright cruel. Matilda was lucky she was able to escape from these two nasties. Mr. Perry from Dead Poets Society pushed his son to his breaking point just for the sake of control and prestige. His relentless pressure had many consequences that will forever break our hearts. Margaret White from Carrie in both the original AND the reboot deserve serious jail time. Shaming her daughter for her period? Locking her in a closet for hours at a time? Literally attempting to kill her? Absolutely unforgivable. Kate and Peter McCallister from Home Alone are the final boss of neglectful parents. They forgot their son at home for a family vacation not once, but twice. That's no whoopsie, that's criminal negligence right there. Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon from The Virgin Suicides controlled and isolated their daughters to devastating levels. Their choices had some, well let's just say upsetting consequences. Mother Gothel from Tangled wasn't even Rapunzel's real mom, but she raised her like the most twisted way possible. She locked her in a tower, all so she could use Rapunzel's magic hair for eternal youth. She's a classic gaslighting narcissist. Some movie parents are absolute legends, while others just don't have what it takes 💔💔 Let us know your fav or most hated movie parents in the comments!

Amanda Bynes embraces Ozempic for an 18kg weight loss transformation
Amanda Bynes during the height of her Hollywood success. Image: File. Former Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes took to social media to share her ongoing struggles with body image and her newest venture into weight loss. The 39-year-old actress announced that she will be using Ozempic, a medication traditionally prescribed for type 2 diabetes, as part of her quest to shed 40 pounds (about 18 kilograms). In the video, Bynes expressed her desired weight: "I'm 173 now, so I hope to get down to like 130, which would be awesome, so I look better in paparazzi pictures, and you don't see my double chin from strange angles." Ozempic, while primarily intended to assist with diabetes management, has gained notoriety as a popular weight loss solution among celebrities. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that functions by suppressing appetite, fostering weight reduction. However, the medication is not without side effects, including the infamous "Ozempic face" and possible vision changes. Amanda Bynes in her latest social media video. Image: Screenshot/ YouTube. Bynes previously opened up about her challenges with mental health and body image. Since stepping away from the limelight in 2012 due to these ongoing struggles, Bynes has made significant strides in her healing process. She previously recalled how watching her performance in her cult-classic film "She's the Man" led her into a deep depression. "When the movie came out and I saw it, I went into a deep depression for 4 to 6 months because I didn't like how I looked when I was a boy," Bynes said, sharing that she "abused" Adderall after 'reading an article in a magazine that [called Adderall] 'the new skinny pill'." She confessed to having "abused" Adderall as part of her attempt to keep up with society's impossible standards of beauty. Bynes also shared that she couldn't bear to watch herself on "Easy A", ultimately leading to her decision to stop acting altogether. "I literally couldn't stand my appearance in that movie, and I didn't like my performance. I was absolutely convinced I needed to stop acting after seeing it."
