Jersey Shore star Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley became as famous as some actors after amassing a massive fanbase from the show. At one point, Farley tried to parlay her celebrity into a potential acting career. But Farley’s short time on a show was a very off-putting experience.

JWoww lent her star-power to another show other than Jersey Shore. She had a recurring role in the long-running Soap One Life to Live, where she played a bartender named Nikki. Since JWoww was curious about acting, she thought a show like One Life to Live was a perfect place to get her feet wet.

Kelsey Grammer returned to reprise his role of Dr. Frasier Crane one more time. Over the last four years, Grammer has taken on the part of Frasier across multiple TV shows, beginning with Cheers and now, presumably, ending with the Frasier reboot. While Frasier is Grammer’s signature role, the part was initially intended for someone other than him. The character was actually created with another actor in mind. Grammer was only afforded the chance to audition for the role because John Lithgow turned down the part.
John Lithgow could have played Dr. Frasier Crane, but he turned down the part
While Kelsey Grammer turned out to be the perfect Frasier, the role wasn’t supposed to be his. If John Lithgow hadn’t turned down the part, script unseen, Grammer wouldn’t have ever gotten the opportunity to audition. Lithgow reminisced about his career and his near misses in a recent interview.

Suzanne Somers’ death on Oct. 15 ensures a Three’s Company reboot would be impossible. It would have been unlikely before the starlet’s death, but Somers wasn’t against the idea. Now, though, there is just a single member of the original main cast that is still alive. That makes us immeasurably sad.
Joyce DeWitt is the only remaining original ‘Three’s Company’ cast member still living
Joyce DeWitt, who played Janet Wood on Three’s Company, is the last living original cast member. DeWitt appeared in 171 episodes of the iconic series, working with both Ritter and Somers as a main cast member from the pilot onward.

Documentaries like Netflix’s Harry & Meghan are “almost in a different category,” the docs boss of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment said today.
Responding to a question from Deadline at Mia Market, former HBO producer Sara Bernstein also said the “fees have raised in terms of what this access looks like and what it costs a producer like our company” on shows where the subjects exert a certain amount of editorial control.
Although it isn’t only Harry & Meghan that opted for this approach, the conversation was sparked by last year’s hit doc series, which was co-produced by the ex-royal duo’s Archewell Productions via a multi-million dollar Netflix deal.

Selena Gomez was among the crowd members who look worried during the shocking live moment.
Olivia Rodrigo gave fans quite the scare at the VMAs. The 20-year-old singer took the stage at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday, and shocked the crowd when technical difficulties appeared to interrupt her performance.
It was all for show though, and an apt reference to the music video for her hit single, “Vampire.” Everything started off well, as Rodrigo, wearing a red look, started singing “Vampire” while sitting in a staged meadow.
Then, just as in her music video, sparks started flying behind her and set pieces started falling down.

However, the track may not have made the cut for season 2 based on Tung’s description of her own Belly playlist that helped her get into character.
“It was a lot of slightly more emotional songs — songs that felt nostalgic,” she told The New York Times.

As comedian John Mulaney expertly devoured a cornucopia of spicy and scorching hot chicken wings, he should have at least been afforded to hear the song that was played during what he called his “favorite meal.”
Mulaney managed to carry on a casual conversation while sampling various wings paired with spicy, tangy, and atomic sauces on the YouTube series Hot Ones. A pleasing soundtrack complimented the audio during Mulaney’s half-hour musings, which lent to the conversation’s flavor.
But for an authentic, full circle moment, maybe someone should have busted out “What’s New Pussycat” by Tom Jones at least one (or seven times) during the discussion.
John Mulaney’s chicken wing meal should have had a side of ‘What’s New Pussycat’
Described as the “best meal” he’s ever had, Mulaney recounted hitting the Salt and Pepper Diner with his best friend, consequently named John when he was 11 years old.

American Idol has gone through a constantly changing roster of judges. There have been some perfect judges, odd choices, and stars who simply didn’t work out. One singer who would have been a perfect judge on American Idol is Elton John. However, the “Tiny Dancer” singer received a massive offer to appear on the talent show, but he turned it down, proving he had little interest in being a judge.

American Idol has been introducing new talent to the world since it premiered in 2002. Part of the show’s appeal is its everchanging panel of judges that started with Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson.

Taylor Lautner seems pretty unbothered at the moment. The actor first rose to fame at the age of 13 with one of the titular roles in 2005's "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl," then rocketed to another level of stardom thanks to his performance as the werewolf Jacob Black in the Twilight movies from 2008-2012. But now - after taking some time away from the chaos of the entertainment industry, focusing on his mental health, and getting married - he seems pretty clearheaded.
Twilight has been having a bit of a renaissance on social media over the past few years, and a new TV series based on the fantasy franchise has even reportedly been green lit, but Taylor says he's "in a great place now" about all that. "I don't know how much I've felt it, to be completely honest," he tells Popsugar of Twilight's resurgence in popularity.

Ramona Singer from The Real Housewives of New York City famously forgets names and nothing seems to have changed. Podcast host and former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member Teddi Mellencamp recounted how Singer didn’t treat her “like a human” when Singer was a guest on her podcast.
From bumbling her famous last name to acting clueless about who Mellencamp was, Singer made quite an impression on Mellencamp.
Ramona Singer didn’t know who Teddi Mellencamp was
While reflecting on Singer as a guest, Mellencamp asked co-host Tamra Judge if she noticed that Singer was being a little shady toward her. “By the way, did you notice that in our interview with Ramona, she would not acknowledge me as a human being?” Mellencamp wondered on her Two Ts in a Pod podcast.

David Harbour wins stepdad of the year. On May, he got his stepdaughters the hottest ticket in town to the "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" premiere in New York City.
The 48-year-old "Stranger Things" star married singer turned actor Lily Allen in 2020 and is now stepdad to her two children with her ex-husband Sam Cooper, Ethel, 11, and Marnie Cooper, 10.

The 2023 Met Gala was a celebration of Karl Lagerfeld, meaning the May 1 event was an elaborate showcase of vintage Chanel looks and modern interpretations of the designer's work. However, one slightly more nontraditional aspect of Lagerfeld's life led to several of the night's most memorable looks: both Jared Leto and Doja Cat wore particularly unforgettable tributes to Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette.

The designer leaves behind a complex legacy, as he was known for misogyny, fatphobia, and homophobia in addition to his groundbreaking work in fashion design. But his legendary love for Choupette is a particularly sweet aspect of his history, making her a logical muse for more adventurous attendees. The elegant Birman belonged to Lagerfeld for a decade and has spent her life in the lap of luxury.

Karlie Kloss will soon be a mother of two. The supermodel revealed she's pregnant with baby number two in the most fashionable way: at the 2023 Met Gala. (Kloss's reps did not immediately respond to Popsugar's request for comment.)
Kloss was first spotted on May 1 exiting The Mark Hotel alongside her husband, Joshua Kushner, in a black, formfitting, floor-length gown, an outfit that put her baby bump on full display. She rubbed her belly as photographers waiting outside went wild. After posing together for a moment, Kushner stepped to the side and jokingly bent down to allow the photographers to take snaps of Kloss solo in all her glory.
When Kloss finally made it to the official Met Gala red carpet, she opened up about her pregnancy to Emma Chamberlain in an interview with Vogue, joking, "I have a little surprise. . . I got a plus one.

The new regime at Peacock has spent the past nine months preparing to take its baby bird to new heights.
The number of big moves made by the NBCUniversal-owned streamer — from amping up its original content slate to livestream deals with Hallmark, Reelz and Big 10 college football to bringing NBC shows back into the fold for next-day viewing and eliminating its free tier for new users — is setting the stage for what executives hope will be a growth spurt in 2023. Peacock, which launched three years ago last month, will show of its brighter plumage Tuesday with its New Fronts presentation to advertisers.
“It’s all coming together,” says Peacock president Kelly Campbell, who signed on in October 2021 after serving as president of Hulu. “We’re just seeing an increasing interest overall when it comes to inflow and engagement, and people are stickier than they were in the past.”

The first wave of guest hosts included a variety of celebrities, including Leslie Jones, Wanda Sykes, D. L. Hughley, Chelsea Handler, Sarah Silverman, Hasan Minhaj, Marlon Wayans, Kal Penn, Al Franken and John Leguizamo.
For the first quarter of 2023, “The Daily Show” saw its ratings climb 13% over the same weeks last year despite not putting a large amount of marketing into each guest host. On the social side, quarterly views jumped 16% compared to the same weeks last year.

When band members abruptly leave the group that made them famous, most assume that there was plenty of behind-the-scenes drama. However, Jon Bon Jovi insisted there were “no hard feelings” when longtime guitar player Richie Sambora quit the rock band.
Richie Sambora was an original member of Bon Jovi
Bon Jovi was formed in 1983. The band’s initial lineup included lead singer Bon Jovi, guitar player Sambora, keyboardist David Bryan, drummer Tico Torres, and bass player Alec John Such. The group enjoyed some moderate success with their first few albums and built up a dedicated fan base through frequent tours.
In 1986, they released Slippery When Wet and quickly became stars. The album spent eight weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, and singles “You Give Love a Bad Name” and “Livin’ on a Prayer” both went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

When Succession debuted on HBO in 2018, the show didn’t take long to get the attention of viewers and critics. The series follows the family owners of a media conglomerate, and perhaps it’s most notable for its stellar ensemble cast. Over the years, fans have learned a lot about what it was like making the show, including how Kieran Culkin managed co-star Brian Cox’s on-set “outbursts.”

Pearls of wisdom and displays of affection were shared widely on Tuesday afternoon when honorees Judy Blume, Natasha Lyonne, Rosie Perez, Kelly Ripa and Michaela Jaé Rodriguez took the stage at Variety‘s Power of Women New York luncheon, presented by Lifetime, at midtown restaurant The Grill.
While all five women touched on the key lessons they’ve learned in life and the importance of those who teach them during the luncheon, hosted by “Saturday Night Live’s” Ego Nwodim, it was iconic YA author Blume who made much of her speech a tribute to public educators and librarians who are trying to protect students’ rights amid increased government scrutiny and censorship in public education.

Kieran Culkin is opening up about growing up with his massive and famous family in New York City. Kieran, who stars as Roman Roy on "Succession," is one of seven kids shared by Kit Culkin and Patricia Brentrup. The pair never married, though their split in the 1990s and ensuing custody battle became tabloid fodder because Kieran's brother Macaulay had become very famous after starring in 1990's "Home Alone" franchise. Kieran revealed in an interview with Esquire published March 27 that his dad - an actor himself - had all seven try to be actors, though only Macaulay (who his siblings call Mack), Kieran, and Rory pursued it seriously.
The family grew up in the Yorkville section of Manhattan, and Kieran says that even though he was just a kid himself, he felt bad for the way fame affected Macaulay's life. "Poor f*cking guy," he told Esquire of his brother.
