Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer have scrapped a long-in-the-works but never fully realized project in which they were set to play sisters.
Schumer broke the news in a new interview with Variety, saying, “I don’t think it will ever happen. It was just like, life kept going. My family was going through a rough time. I don’t want to say any more than that.”
Lawrence added: “Now that we’re older, a sister comedy might not resonate as much. But we have every intention of working together.”

Amy Schumer was in the zone. This was in March, when she was filming on the street in Brooklyn for her upcoming movie “Kinda Pregnant,” a comedy about a woman who pretends to be knocked up for attention. In one take, Schumer emerged from a subway station while answering a phone call — and was interrupted by a stranger shouting at her from the sidewalk: “Fuck you, Amy Schumer! You’re a Zionist! You love genocide!”
Disruptions of the four-letter variety aren’t unusual in a raucous place like New York, though they’re usually less pointed. Schumer didn’t break character, refusing to stop working as the woman carried on. The actress finished the scene finally, packed up her stuff and went home to her husband and their 4-year-old son.
“It didn’t even raise my heart rate,” Schumer says over brunch at a cozy Brooklyn Heights tavern a couple days later.

Exclusive: CBS’ Elsbeth will count on three additional guest stars for its Season 1 cast: Elizabeth Lail (Five Nights At Freddy’s), Arian Moayed (Succession) and Laura Benanti (The Gilded Age). Following a brief hiatus, the show returns April 4 with two episodes.
Elsbeth follows the titular Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston), an astute but unconventional attorney who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD following her successful career in Chicago. The character first appeared in The Good Wife and later in The Good Fight spinoff.
In addition to Preston, Wendell Pierce and Carra Patterson round out the series regular cast as Captain Wagner and Kaya Blanke, respectively. Gloria Reuben recurs as Wagner’s wife, Claudia Payne.

Everyone is falling apart in “Stress Positions,” the Sundance premiere now opening in U.S. theaters from Neon on April 19.
The anxiety-inducing comedy directed by Theda Hammel, which she co-wrote with Faheem Ali, centers on a cluster of Brooklyn-dwelling New Yorkers spiraling during the first Covid summer of 2020 and also reeling from their own hang-ups, breakdowns, and break-ups. There’s Terry (John Early), a politically numbed basket case in the midst of a divorce, now spinning his wheels in the Brooklyn brownstone owned by the husband who’s left him. There’s his Moroccan nephew Bahlul (Qaher Harhash), a beautiful model badly injured with a broken leg and convalescing at said brownstone, with nowhere else to go and identity questions of his own.

Not so long ago, Amy Schumer, primarily known for her comedic skills, was trolled for her appearance on the internet. This is not a new thing for the internet to do. Judging people by their appearances is possibly one of the things that netizens like to do on social media regardless of how it might affect the individual about whom they have started the discourse.
The most recent victim of this troll culture on the internet is actress and standup comedian Amy Schumer, whose puffy face became a matter of discussion across the internet. She has finally opened up about those comments and revealed the reason behind the puffy appearance of her face.

Amy Schumer revealed on Friday she has been diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, a condition caused by excessive cortisol. The news comes on the heels of Schumer’s response to fan comments that her face appeared puffier than normal.
“I feel reborn,” she told Jessica Yellin in the journalist’s News Not Noise newsletter. The actress went on to explain, “There are a few types of Cushing. Some that can be fatal, require brain surgery or removal of adrenal glands.”
Schumer said she was doing press for her Life & Beth season two, the Hulu series she created and stars in, while also undergoing extensive medical testing, “in Mri machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up.”

On Valent Day, Amy Schumer visited “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” as part of her tour promoting her Hulu series “Life & Beth,” but many viewers and people online were more focused on her face. Schumer addressed the speculation about her health in an Instagram post the next day, and in an interview published by Jessica Yellin’s News Not Noise on Friday, she revealed she’s been diagnosed with exogenous Cushing syndrome — and she credited the online reactions in part for being why she got checked out.
Schumer told Yellin that she underwent hours-long Mri scans while promoting her show and “having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up.” The actress found out that she has a type of Cushing that “will just work itself out.”

Life & Beth season one was path-breaking as it took the viewers through the life of Beth and the relationship she shares with her family and friends. The show took the realistic route when it came to the direction and writing, and it worked in the show’s favor. Season two was a lukewarm affair in terms of the writing and direction, though a lot more subjects were discussed and expanded upon.
Each episode of the second season discusses each character and their relationship with Beth. The first season was about Beth’s work and the amount of time she spent developing her career with the company that sold wine. The second season was all about her interpersonal relationships and the amount of time she was willing to spend with her family, friends, and her boyfriend.
At the end of season 2, it was revealed that Beth had given birth to a boy through a C-section.

Season one of Amy Schumer’s Life & Beth was an interesting comeback for the comedian. It was one of the many shows that was primarily about women and their lives after the age of 35 and dealing with adulthood. The first season of the show was released in 2022, and the second one was released on February 16, 2024. This Hulu Original show covers a lot about the lives women lead, and it tries to come at things with a realistic approach.
The second season has ten episodes, and the runtime of each one goes from twenty-one minutes to thirty-five, spanning two different timelines. The first timeline has Beth, her friends, and John as adults dealing with their lives. The second timeline is a flashback that shows a teenage Beth dealing with boyfriend troubles and protecting her younger sister Ann. The second season begins with Beth and John dating and getting to know each other deeply.

Life & Beth season one received lukewarm responses, but the show captured the essence of women in their mid-thirties trying to find a balance between having a successful career and a productive personal life. The last season ended with Beth and John coming together as a couple and acknowledging their love for each other. Beth, along with her sister Ann, threw a proper send-off for their deceased mother Jane by hosting a lunch. Ann and Beth were on good terms by the end of Life & Beth season 1, and they were looking forward to coming closer as a family.

Why Was Beth Looking Forward To Her Date With John?
Beth and John officially began dating. Beth was working full-time for a rich man named Cole, and John was still a farmer. All the vanity around each other had vanished, but Beth somehow expected their first date would be romantic.

With Life & Beth season two, Amy Schumer is no longer worried about spoilers. After all, this story is in the details.
The follow-up season to her semi-autobiographical Hulu dramedy, which launched all 10 episodes on Thursday, centers on the romantic relationship between Beth (Schumer) and John (played by Michael Cera), who — as the trailer revealed — get married early on in the new season. As the season progresses, Beth starts to notice certain behaviors in John and suggests that they check them out, together. Early in their marriage, John is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (Asd).
According to Schumer, talking about John’s diagnosis on the day that the new season launches will not ruin the viewing experience. “They really put everything in the trailer, which at first I was like, ‘Um, excuse me?'” recalls the creator, writer and director with a laugh. “And they were like, ‘Well, it will...

Comedian Amy Schumer addressed criticisms of her facial appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and The View through an Instagram post on Thursday.
Schumer, who was promoting the second season of her self-created series, Life & Beth, acknowledged the concerns raised by some fans who believed her face looked swollen in the interviews. In her Instagram post, Schumer wrote, “Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face!”
She continued, “I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right it is puffier than normal right now.”
She candidly attributed the puffiness to her battle with endometriosis, an autoimmune disease that she encouraged all women to educate themselves about.
Highlighting the historical underrepresentation and limited research on women’s bodies, Schumer recommended the book All in Her Head by Elizabeth Comen as a resource for further understanding.

She continued, “I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right it is puffier than normal right now.”
She candidly attributed the puffiness to her battle with endometriosis, an autoimmune disease that she encouraged all women to educate themselves about.

Actress and comedian Amy Schumer has addressed her critics with honesty and humour. The actress recently shared posts on her Instagram from her appearances on ‘The Tonight Show’ and ‘Good Morning America’ promoting the season 2 release of ‘Life & Beth’.
These posts have received comments about her “puffier” face, reports People magazine.
Addressing the comments, she wrote in a new Instagram post: “Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face! I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right, it is puffier than normal right now.”
The comedian then explained that she has endometriosis, adding: “There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now but I’m okay.”

The actor, who plays the loveable Allan in the movie, shared in a Q&a with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that Ben Affleck was initially going to make an appearance during his character’s fight sequence with the construction Kens.
“I wasn’t even supposed to fight in the movie,” Cera said. “Am I allowed to say what was supposed to be? It was supposed to be Ben Affleck. Am I allowed to say that?”
However, the Life & Beth actor said that Affleck had to back out of the film due to his commitment to another project. “I think Ben wanted to do it, but he was directing his movie, but they didn’t find that out until the 11th hour,...

Life & Beth is a Hulu original that premiered in March 2022. The show was created and written by Amy Schumer, and it is the coming-of-age story of an adult who is struggling to deal with the memories of her mother and her teenage years. The first season of the show begins with Beth being an employee of a wine company, working alongside her boyfriend Matt. While Beth seems disconnected from her job and the relationship, not many notice this behavior, especially Matt, who is consumed by his ego. Matt happens to be the best employee at the company, and he uses this position to condescendingly converse with Beth about her life and her relationships outside of the office.

Sunny Hostin recently had fans on the edge of their seats over how badly she botched something live on The View.
The beautiful Sunny is 55 and has clarified that she doesn’t care who knows it. She is all about body positivity, as reported on Monsters and Critics.
As she often does, she was speaking to the trolls when she said, “I’m 55. I get criticized often on the stupid social media things…Guess what? I don’t care.”
Maybe she has since had a change of heart over her appearance since she could have averted the blunder she had today if she weren’t so concerned about how she looked.
