Jodie Foster's ‘Scientist Son' Kit Makes Rare Appearance with Her at Red Carpet Event
Jodie Foster and her son Kit made a rare red carpet appearance together! On Saturday, April 5, the True Detective: Night Country actress, 62, and her 23-year-old son posed for photos together at the Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Santa Monica, Calif. Foster sported a chic, all-white look featuring a sleeveless, collared wrap dress, and wore her short brown hair in a sleek bob. Kit kept things simple with a traditional dark blue suit, pairing the look with a white shirt and polkadot bowtie and his usual glasses.

She is now married to Alexandra Hedison. According to the Silence of the Lambs star, keeping her children out of the spotlight was a conscious decision, she told The Guardian in 2018. "I know the perils of having a parent involved in your art form are too great," she said at the time. 'My older son is getting more interested in acting now, and I'm glad he discovered it late. My younger son is really shy and I can promise you he will never be an actor."

When she took home the prize for best female actor in a limited or anthology series at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards, the mom-of-two shared a rare personal reflection on her family life in her acceptance speech. "I just want to thank my family. Because Kit, my scientist son, and Charlie, my actor son who's starting his career, hopefully you understand the joy, such joy, that comes from doing really hard, meaningful, good work," she said in her speech. "So my boys, I love you, and this, of course, is for you." Jodie, who also took home a win at the 2024 Emmy Awards for the same role, told PEOPLE in September that Charlie and Kit are "at that age where they're starting their careers" — "and they're pretty insecure about what's gonna happen." "But every time they get a joy, like I got an 'A' or I got this job or I got an audition, my heart just fills up 14 times because I have this memory of a beautiful career that's built on doing meaningful work, and I know that's the recipe for happiness," she said. "So I'm just thrilled for them, for the future." Read the original article on People

‘The White Lotus' Season 3 wardrobe malfunctions that fans never saw
Piper, no! While not even a tsunami could have stopped 'The White Lotus' Season 3 from delivering the top-tier costumes viewers expect, production on the series was not without a few wardrobe malfunctions. Over its three seasons, HBO's Emmy-winning hit has become renowned for its costumes, with the wardrobe even evolving into a de facto character. This is thanks to costume designer Alex Bovaird, who has collaborated with show creator Mike White and her talented team to create the show's iconic looks. But making sartorial excellence come to life is not without its share of fashion mishaps, as Bovaird revealed to The Post.'I remember Parker [Posey]'s gold cuff snapping in half at dinner,' Bovaird said of one behind the scenes wardrobe malfunction during filming. The Emmy-nominated costume designer, who has worked on all three seasons of 'The White Lotus' in addition to other prestige shows such as 'True Detective: Night Country,' also shared that 'shoes breaking are a common hazard' during production. Filming in Thailand presented challenges for the wardrobe department because of the tropical climate. 'The heat on the boat was absolutely monstrous,' Bovaird said of filming Season 3's opening scene. 'One of Piper's breakfast shirts was from the 1930s and more or less exploded one day in a scene,' she hilariously shared. But despite all the setbacks, Bovaird's all-star team pulled them through. 'My set costumers were incredibly hard working and have solutions for everything,' the designer effused. 'They kept everyone looking crispy and fresh in extreme conditions and 12-hour shooting days.' 'We are a pretty tight ship and generally stick to the plan as far as choices go. Mike White approves everything in advance so there are no surprises.' Much like its characters, the show's clothes got the VIP treatment, having their own villa at the Four Seasons in Koh Samui, Thailand (the real-life resort which doubled as the fictional White Lotus). The 'costume office,' as Bovaird called it, was an 'identical' suite to the one where Hollywood actress Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan) stays with her frenemies Kate (Leslie Bibb) and Laurie (Carrie Coon). 'When they arrive, Mike White wanted them to look interchangeable, like a cohesive blond blob,' Bovaird said of the women who have become memes on social media. 'I gave them all similar bright, sunshine-y linen sundresses and they are decked out in fancy bags, shoes and sunglasses.' 'As we go forward we begin to know their differences,' Bovaird explained. 'Laurie is more practical and apt to be comfortable, so she dons the loose Thai traveler pants. Jacqueline is a social butterfly and a maven and show-off, so she's always dazzling in her outfits. Kate is just a smidge more buttoned-up and prissy.' Referring to the late-night pool shenanigans that ensue at the end of Episode 5, Bovaird added, 'So when they go back to the villa for a party, [Kate] adds clothes instead of losing them!' Among all of the cast, Posey, who plays matriarch Victoria Ratliff, had the strongest vision going into production about how her character would dress. 'Parker was very collaborative and knew how she wanted to play Victoria,' Bovaird shared. 'She was cast relatively early so we had a lot of discussions about where she shops and how she dresses. 'She has amazing style and instincts and was a delight to work with,' the designer added of the actress. No closet is safe from a raid if Bovaird senses a perfect find. 'Chelsea [Aimee Lou Wood] wears dresses that belonged to my assistant Giulia [Moschioni]'s mother and my mother!' Bovaird revealed. Asked which actor dresses the most like their character, Bovaird replied, 'Not Lisa!' The Thai-born member of South Korean girl group BlackPink, who is billed as Lisa Manobal on the show, made her acting debut on 'The White Lotus' Season 3, playing a resort employee and health mentor named Mook. 'We gave her a glam-down!' Bovaird said of the pop star. As for who was her favorite character to dress: 'I always enjoy the girlie duos — Chloe and Chelsea were my favorites because they are more eclectic and DIY style. I also love Piper's outfits.' 'The White Lotus' airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on HBO and Max.

True Detective season 5 setting revealed as HBO nears production
The return of True Detective is hotting up, with a setting for new episodes announced by HBO. News of True Detective season five follows hot on the heels of a successful fourth run, set in Alaska. Starring Jodie Foster, that series was titled True Detective: Night Country. Night Country 's showrunner Issa López is returning for the new instalment, which HBO has confirmed will be switching states. 'It's set in New York, in Jamaica Bay,' Francesca Orsi, HBO's Head of Drama Series and Film, said at the premiere for season three of The White Lotus. 'Issa has a lot to say, not unlike she did with Night Country,' Orsi told Deadline, adding: 'It's a different milieu but just as powerful.' Production is set to begin in the next few months with casting expected to be announced imminently. The season will premiere in 2027. According to reports, the show will have three leads and hold connections to Night Country – much like that season had controversial connections with season one. Orsi continued: 'I'm really excited about it. We have a small writers room going with Issa; she's excited. We just gave notes on the first two episodes, the entire season. 'Honestly, I can't wait for this to go. It's all about casting and getting this ready.' Lopez previously told the New York Post about the forthcoming season: 'There's going to be some important connections between everything that happens in Ennis, Alaska, and the characters in Ennis, Alaska, and what happens in the new [season]. That said, it's a new story, new characters, everything.' In a development that proved divisive to a contingent of long-time fans of the HBO anthology series, season four was revealed to have direct links to characters and symbols featured in the acclaimed debut run, which aired in 2014. Set in Ennis, Alaska, the series, which was review-bombed by 'bros' upon its release, follows detectives Liz Danvers and Evangeline Navarro, as they investigate the sudden disappearance of eight men from a research station. Two episodes in, a spiral symbol heavily featured in season one appeared. Elsewhere, eagle-eyed viewers highlighted how one character in Night Country was actually the father of Matthew McConaughey's character Rustin 'Rust' Cohle appeared. The Independent asked López about the reasoning behind these references during a preview screening of the finale. According to López, it was a convenient way to convey that the shows share a universe, and nothing more. The Mexican writer-director was already working on a murder mystery set in Alaska when HBO called and asked her 'what she'd do' with True Detective. After deciding to transpose a new series of True Detective onto her existing idea, the writer-director 'set out to create it in the very same universe'. López told The Independent: 'It's very important to me to say the world where Dora Lange died in 2007 in Louisiana is the exact same world where the scientists disappear in 2024. So how do you establish those realities? Just to say, 'This is the same world.' The showrunner said it was nothing more than a coincidence that Rust's father had died in the place where her series was set and thought it would be another convenient way of linking the worlds. She also suggested the use of the symbol was not designed to be a hint that the cases featured in each season were in any way linked. 'While you're creating your situation in Alaska, and the father of [Rust] died in Alaska, you mention it,' she continued, adding: 'Then it turns out I need a symbol that signifies to these characters that they're in the proximity of the beyond – well, there's a symbol that did that in the first season. I'm not going to put a triangle in this one.' López said: 'It's organic – and there's members of the audience who are going to adore it because it connects it and it's recognisable and you're that meme with Leonardo DiCpario, right?'
