Kate Hudson says Mindy Kaling sent 'Running Point' notes from hospital bed: 'Isn't Mindy literally in labor?'
Mindy Kaling doesn't let anything stop her from getting the job done right — including giving birth! During a panel at an Emmy FYC event for Netflix's comedy series Running Point on Friday, star Kate Hudson gushed about how the show's co-creator proved her dedication to their work, even at her most fraught moments. "I have to say, I've fallen in love with this woman," Hudson said of Kaling, who also executive-produced the show. "And she's just not only so brilliant, but so trusting ... she puts the best team together," she said, per PEOPLE. Hudson, who plays a woman who's abruptly appointed leader of her family's pro basketball team in the series, recalled that Kaling was even working from her hospital bed after quietly welcoming her third child in February of 2024. "And she was pregnant. We had a script, like our first table read. She's on Zoom," the actress shared. "She then has the baby and is sending notes like an hour after she has the baby. I was like, 'Isn't Mindy literally in labor?'" It was all proof to Hudson that the Velma creator is "a powerhouse" that "delivers what she says she's going to deliver." The Almost Famous alum isn't the only star who has praise for Kaling. Brenda Song, who also stars on Running Point as Isla's formidable bestie and Waves chief of staff Ali Lee, previously told Entertainment Weekly that the mother of three emboldened an uncertain Song to "come with us, trust us." "I was like, I will follow you blindly," Song shared. The mother of two and fiancé of fellow actor Macaulay Culkin said the experience reaffirmed the spark she felt working on Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl. "Working with such incredible, supportive, talented people has really re-energized me and reminded me why I love doing what I do so much." Kaling created the sports comedy with Elaine Ko, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen. The show focuses on Hudson as Isla Gordon, who leads the L.A. Waves, a Lakers-like basketball team with an illustrious reputation, after her brother Cam (Justin Theroux) becomes embroiled in a drug scandal. Long overlooked by her brothers (which also include Drew Tarver and Scott MacArthur) and late father, the ambitious and sports-savvy Isla must prove she's right for the job. She has to find a way to win respect and a championship. Netflix renewed the show for a second season earlier this year. "It was a completely new experience," Hudson told EW in February about making the series. "I'd never been on a show where you do so much in one day. You would shoot a scene from two completely different episodes. I was like, 'This is a whole new world.' But we had such an amazing team of people, and oh my God, we just laughed so much." Running Point is streaming on Netflix. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Tina Fey Explains That ‘Four Seasons' Death and Teases 'Starting From Scratch' for Season 2
[This story contains spoilers for episodes seven and eight of ] 'It's been so fun. I don't know that I've ever been a part of something that had this much of an immediate positive reaction,' Tina Fey says of the last few weeks as The Four Seasons, which she co-created and stars in, debuted on Netflix. More from The Hollywood Reporter John Krasinski Didn't Know Brother-in-Law Stanley Tucci Was His 'Fountain of Youth' Co-Star Until Midway Through Filming Meg Ryan, Rashida Jones Join Natalie Portman for 'Good Sex' (Exclusive) Netflix Is Making a 'Clash of Clans' Animated Series The series is inspired by the 1981 rom-com of the same name directed by Alan Alda, and follows three couples as they go on vacations in spring, summer, fall and winter, with marital and friendship troubles along the way. In a surprise twist, Steve Carell's character Nick — who had divorced his wife Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) and was dating the much younger Ginny (Erika Henningsen) — died in a car crash in the second-to-last episode, which Fey addressed at an Emmy FYC event on Monday. Fey and her co-creators, Tracey Wigfield and Lang Fisher, had the death in mind from the beginning of the show, and told Carell of his fate when first pitching him on the project, she told The Hollywood Reporter. 'He was like, 'Why does this keep happening to me?'' Fey joked, after Carell's character suffered a somewhat similar ending in The Morning Show, which she admitted, 'I didn't know that when we pitched it, so that's on me. But I dug my heels in.' Of the decision to veer from the film and add in a death, Fey also explained, 'We felt like at the time that everything was sort of grounded and human scale in terms of story, and we were like we do want something to happen, and that is a thing that happens to humans.' Fisher added, 'We wanted this show to really reflect the time in the lives of these people. And when you're in your 50s, it's not like a crazy thing to imagine losing a friend. We wanted this show to have big human stakes, and so someone dying and the group having to come together to deal with that felt right.' The series was renewed for a second season shortly after its premiere, and Fey revealed they started the writer's room last week. 'It's been really nice, we have the same exact writing staff and it's already been really interesting for us to come together and share experiences, not just talk about the previous season but also our own lives,' she continued. 'The writers have been very generous — a lot of what you saw in season one, a lot is obviously from the movie but a lot also came from all of our lives.' She also added that without the movie to provide a template as in the first season, 'we are kind of starting from scratch.' Wigfield noted, 'In some ways it is hard that you're starting from scratch and don't have the movie to guide you, but in a lot of ways the second season of anything is so much easier because you've made so many choices already. We know who these characters are,' adding, 'We set up fun dynamics in the finale. Ginny is pregnant, and this friend group is kind of moving on in the wake of their friend's death. There is going to be really interesting stuff to play and already we're starting to talk about it and it's really exciting.'

‘Gilmore Girls' Alum Yanic Truesdale on Why His French ‘Étoile' Character Doesn't Have an Accent
Gilmore Girls fans will be quick to recognize Yanic Truesdale in Étoile but they might be surprised when his character in the new series starts speaking. The actor who played Michel, the Independence (and later Dragonfly) Inn's oft-irritated concierge, reunites with his Gilmore Girls writers-directors-executive-producers Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino in the duo's latest series Étoile, where he plays Raphael, the right-hand man to Charlotte Gainsbourg's Geneviève. More from The Hollywood Reporter Prime Video Emmy FYC Event Returns With Spotlight on 'Étoile,' 'The Boys,' 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' Sebastian Stan Channeled Clint Eastwood in 'Unforgiven' For 'Thunderbolts*': "The Older Guy That's Been There, Done That" Meet the A-List Ballet Dancers at the Heart of 'Étoile' - and the Choreographer Who Hired Them Though Truesdale's latest character is indeed French, unlike Michel, who spoke with a French accent, Raphael does not have an accent, a choice that Truesdale says was intentional and that he was quick to make. 'That was my first thing,' Truesdale told The Hollywood Reporter at Étoile's premiere in New York earlier this month. 'When Amy called me and said, 'It's shot in Paris,' I said, 'Oh my God, that's amazing.' I said, 'Is the character French?' and she said yes, and I said, 'Amy, I'm not doing a French accent.' She said, 'No, I agree.' I just didn't want to confuse fans, you know? And also I wanted to create a distinct character that would be different from Michel. So, yeah, no accent.' Truesdale added that he used his 'natural' speaking voice for Raphael. The actor, who said it was 'phenomenal' reuniting with the Palladinos, explained that working on Gilmore Girls created a lasting, familial bond. 'For the last 20 years, I've called Amy mom because I told her she gave birth to my artistic career in the U.S. So she calls me son and she says, 'You're the best son I could've ever had because I didn't have to raise you.' It gives you the level of comfort and family vibe that we have together,' Truesdale said. 'I think Gilmore was very meaningful for everyone that was involved, including them. They created a show that won't die, literally 25 years later. And I think we're all very attached to each other and connected. It's all just very comfortable. It feels like family. We don't need to say many words — a look and I'm like, 'Yeah.'' For this role, Truesdale said the Palladinos reached out and told him they were thinking of him for the show. 'Where was I? What was I doing? Was I available? I said, 'I'll make myself available,'' he recalls. All eight episodes of Étoile's first season are now streaming on Amazon's Prime Video.
