The 34-year-old actress, best known for movies like Zola and Magazine Dreams, announced her happy news in an Instagram post on Monday (March 24).

This will be the first child for Taylour and her husband, fashion designer Rivington Angulo. They have been married since October 2022.

Disney's Snow White has become one of the most talked-about films of 2025, and likely not for the reasons anyone expected. The film is the long-awaited remake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the very first full-length animated film that Walt Disney produced and helped launch the Disney film empire that endures today. Coming 15 years into Disney's modern remake cycle, it is certainly surprising that a live-action remake of Snow White took this long. Part of the reason might have been that audiences might have been overwhelmed by Snow White, as, in 2012, there were three separate Snow White projects.

In 2012, there were two big-budget Snow White films released, not by Disney. Disney's Snow White relaunch was on the small screen. These projects were Relativity Media's Mirror Mirror, Universal Pictures' Snow White and the Huntsman, and ABC's Once Upon a Time. Despite the two movies getting a lot of media attention,...

Disney’s live-action Snow White hits theaters March 21 with Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, but it’s not the first movie in recent years to mine the classic fairy tale. In 2012, director Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror starred Lily Collins as Snow White and Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen in an updated version of the Brothers Grimm tale, previously told in the 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

The 2012 film debuted amid a wave of fairy tale reboots, following 2011’s Amanda Seyfried-led Red Riding Hood and coming two months before Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman, which starred Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth.

Singh remembers pressure for his project to beat Universal’s movie to the punch. “We don’t have nearly their budget and their machine, so we have to come before them,” the director tells The Hollywood Reporter of his mindset.

Snow White had been kicking around for centuries before the Brothers Grimm immortalized her story in print in their seminal 1812 collection of fairy tales. It’s also a tale that Hollywood has found irresistible. There were two Snow White silent films in 1902 and 1916, decades before Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs broke new ground as a full-length animated film in 1937. Since then, Disney’s take on Snow White has defined the character’s presence in pop culture.

Beyond Disney’s version, there have been plenty of other attempts to bring the story to the big screen. That includes some wild swings, like Snow White and the Three Stooges in 1961. Then in 2012, there were two big-budget productions of Snow White that went head-to-head: Mirror, Mirror and Snow White and the Huntsman. The former, a relatively straightforward live-action retelling starring Lily Collins in the title role with Julia Roberts...

Embattled actor Armie Hammer saw his career take a major hit, resulting from his infamous scandal involving allegations of sexual misconduct and claims of cannibalism. While he seemed to see his career swiftly come to an end, perhaps becoming another casualty of "cancel culture," Hammer has recently been getting back into acting with his recent castings in multiple upcoming films.

Looking back, one of Hammer's most memorable roles from the past was as the prince in 2012's Mirror Mirror, a Snow White retelling that also featured Lily Collins and Julia Roberts. As Disney's new Snow White movie is heading into theaters, Mirror Mirror director Tarsem Singh spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about working with Hammer on their 13-year-old film. While Singh noted that he doesn't know "all the background" on the allegations made against Hammer, he shared how he still greatly supports the actor.

“I love Armie Hammer,” Singh explained.

Exclusive: British-Iranian screenwriter Juliette Towhidi is attached to pen the untitled feature film project about Farah Pahlavi, Empress of Iran, wife of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

As Deadline announced last summer, a newly formed collaboration with Women of the Movement producers Serendipity Group and John Powers Middleton, an official documentary and film project, was in the works. The doc began production in Washington, D.C., and continued through the end of 2024. Work is set to resume this month. Emily Atef is set as the film’s director.

The film will explore the life of Shahbanou Farah Pahlavi, focusing on the resilience of a woman who, despite an exile lasting more than 45 years and mourning the loss of her husband and two children, remains deeply devoted to her duty as a sovereign and attached to her homeland. She never remarried or gave up her Iranian identity.

Here’s A Look At The Box Office Numbers Of 8 Previous Snow White Films (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Rachel Zegler’s highly controversial live-action remake of Snow White is nearing its release as the latest of countless spins on the fairytale. However, the Disney flick has only been creating headlines for negative reasons, and the biggest factor in its success—potential box office performance—is not looking promising.

With Gal Gadot in tow, Snow White certainly has Cinderella’s magical shoes to fill, be it Walt Disney’s 1937 gamble or last decade’s modern spin with Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth. The Brothers Grimm’s German princess has graced cinema screens repeatedly, and here are 8 of the fairest of all Snow Whites at the box office, as per the numbers.

One performer from Disney’s new Snow White is sharing his thoughts amid the debate surrounding the launch for the live-action movie.

Martin Klebba — who has appeared in two previous versions of Snow White, including the 2012 feature Mirror Mirror that stars Julia Roberts and Lily Collins — provides the voice of Grumpy in the new movie and also serves as an advisor for the miner characters. Klebba tells The Hollywood Reporter that the recent controversy surrounding Snow White, which has led to the film’s Saturday premiere not inviting press onto the red carpet, has meant a less exciting celebration for those involved in the project that stars Rachel Zegler as the title character and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.

“It really isn’t going to be a red carpet,” says Klebba, who emphasizes that he is very proud of the movie and cannot wait for audiences to see it.

After his cameo in an after-credits scene, it was assumed that Kelsey Grammer would reprise his role as Hank McCoy Aka Beast, the brains of the X-Men. However, rumors have started swirling that Marvel is looking to recast the role, and this perennial arthouse actor – and Breaking Bad star – seems to be leading the race.

Per The Hot Mic industry scooper Jeff Sneider, Jesse Plemons is rumored to be the next Hank McCoy in the MCU’s X-Men, though this has not been confirmed. The actor has been in Hollywood for decades, though he's best known to Breaking Bad fans for his role as Todd. However, recently, he has been on a streak of stellar performances in independent films such as Kinds of Kindness along with Emma Stone, and Margaret Qualley. He also had roles in Civil War with Kirsten Dunst and Narcos’ Wagner Moura, Killers of the Flower Moonwith Leonardo DiCaprio,...

Last month, Robbie Brenner and a team of Mattel executives made the trek to the Sundance Film Festival. For five days, they braved thin mountain air to get a sense of the emerging filmmakers who they could enlist to make movies and shows based on Mattel’s line of toys — a collection of childhood favorites that runs the gamut from Hot Wheels to Thomas the Tank Engine to He-Man.

“Sundance is where the future is,” says Brenner, who serves as president of Mattel Films. “We’re trying to get in on the ground floor with these great artists before they become the next Christopher Nolan.”

When we talk about the most prolific television creators and writers, the same names often come up: Ryan Murphy, Shonda Rhimes, Dick Wolf, Taylor Sheridan, and more of the most popular and profitable names of the moment.

Of course, that someone is none other than primetime soap and rom-com mastermind Darren Star!

Not only did Star help reinvent and popularize teen dramas on the small screen with the '90s phenomenon Beverly Hills, 90210, but he has continuously centered women in their own stories about their lives, careers, and sexuality — important stories that have remained vital parts of our own lives.

Collins toured for a final time with his former band Genesis in 2022, but his frail physical health meant he performed from a chair on stage. He told Mojo:

“The thing is, I’ve been sick, I mean very sick.”

Collins previously revealed that he suffers from type 2 diabetes and complications from a spin injury, also that he could no longer hold his drum sticks properly without feeling pain, even taping his sticks to his hands to get through later gigs.

Has production for Emily in Paris Season 5 started?

No, the next season is still being written, but a production start at some point in April 2025 is being eyed, as Deadline last heard.

The guilty pleasure television industry continues to be fed by the always reliable Darren Star! The mastermind behind hits like Beverly Hills, 90210 and its spinoff Melrose Place, Sex and the City, Younger, and the Netflix original series Emily in Paris has an exciting new show developing that was just set up at Peacock. As a bonus, there's a book coming out, too!

On Feb. 19, Deadline revealed that Peacock has snatched a script-to-series commitment for Climbing in Heels, the first new show under Star's new overall deal at Universal Television. Universal snapped up the rights to the debut novel by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas last year, with Star attached, even though the book still hasn't even been published. The novel hits shelves on April 29.

The 2011 vampire hunter film Priest failed to sink its teeth into the box office but that hasn’t stopped fan interest in another go with Priest 2: Faithless Dawn.

Paul Bettany led the cast of Priest, a movie in which the man behind Marvel’s Vision starred as a man of the cloth who wasn’t afraid to bust a few vampiric heads when his niece (played by Lily Collins) is kidnapped by a pack of bloodthirsty dracs.

It might be slightly surprising that there is any demand at all for another Priest film. The first movie, which lurked into theaters on May 13, 2011, a mere two weeks after the MCU’s Thor, certainly didn’t light the world on fire.

This year’s Fashion Week front rows have been dominated by black-and-white ensembles. During Paris Fashion Week, Chanel and Dior front-row guests wore the classic color pairing. New York Fashion Week was no different, as more stars graced the coveted front row in black and white. This recurring black-and-white trend is a refreshing nod to timeless elegance, making a statement across major fashion capitals. At New York Fashion Week, this classic pairing continued its dominance, with Carolina Herrera’s Fall 2025 presentation offering a fresh take on the theme.

Carolina Herrera’s Fall 2025 presentation showcased a stunning array of designs, from minimalist gowns to intricately embroidered floral pieces, along with sophisticated knitwear and impeccably tailored suits. Under the creative direction of Wes Gordon, the collection reimagined Herrera’s signature feminine silhouettes with a bold, ’70s-inspired edge. His expert use of both spring and autumnal hues beautifully captured the fleeting transition between seasons.

In the picture, Lily, Charlie and Tove are cuddled up in bed while the actress snaps a selfie.

“I truly can’t imagine feeling more love. Valentine’s Day (and every day) just got a whole lot sweeter,” she wrote in the accompanying caption.

Lily and Charlie welcomed Tove via surrogate earlier this year. They announced the happy news in January.

If you were unaware, Lily and Charlie started dating in 2019 and got married in 2021. Tove is their first child.

Charlie recently took to social media to shut down criticism that the couple received for using a surrogate to grow their family.

Exclusive: French actor Lucas Bravo has signed with Anonymous Content for representation.

Bravo is best known for his lead role in Netflix’s Emily in Paris. Since Season 1 he has played Gabriel, a chef and on-again, off-again love interest of the show’s titular character. The romantic dramedy was renewed for a fifth season following Season 4 Part 2, which dropped in September.

Bravo appeared in last season’s finale and is currently being courted to return for Season 5 of the tentpole show, which also stars Lily Collins as the titular Emily Cooper and Ashley Park as Emily’s best friend Mindy Chen. Deadline exclusively reported the news that Lucien Laviscount, another star in Emily’s love life, will return as a series regular next season.

If you have been missing Emily in Paris and have been feeding your craving by watching Younger on Netflix, or any of the other romantic comedy series like Younger that we recommended, your ancillary binge-watches will eventually lead to Emily's return later this year. Netflix has officially confirmed that Emily in Paris season 5 will be released sometime in 2025!

The streaming service made the announcement in late January 2025 with the reveal of its 2025 programming slate, which included a number of fan-favorite Netflix original series like Stranger Things, Nobody Wants This, The Diplomat, Squid Game, and many more. Most of the series didn't receive release dates but were confirmed to drop at some point in 2025.

Emily in Paris season 5 hasn't yet started production as of February 2025. Back in November 2024, shortly after the release of season 4 part 2 in September, Variety shared that filming on season 5 would begin in May 2025, during the first week of the month.

Even though Younger was a fan-favorite hit during its inital seven-season run, the series has kicked off 2025 by having a major resurgence. On Jan. 7, the TV Land original romantic comedy series from creator Darren Star was added to Netflix and popped. As of Feb. 6, the show remains in the top 10 alongside recent new seasons of hit Netflix originals The Night Agent and The Recruit.

It's the most recent library series to come to Netflix and experience the "Netflix effect," which simply means that new viewers are discovering the series and old viewers are rediscovering the series. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in March 2025, Younger originally aired between 2015 and 2021 and effectively filled a gap for actually good guilty pleasure programming we'd been missing.

While your Netflix (re)binge-watch of Younger might be nearing its end, you're likely wondering what show to add to your watch list to keep the good times rolling.

“Paris is always a good idea,” said Audrey Hepburn in Billy Wilder’s 1954 flick Sabrina, but let’s be real—Emily in Paris has taken that idea and turned it into a Netflix cocktail that’s part chaos, part glamour, and entirely addictive. It’s like you’ve had the most delicious glass of rosé and now you’re scrambling to catch up with all the drama, romance, and French clichés that somehow feel like a breath of fresh air.

We’re talking about a show that turned basic wardrobe envy into an art form, paired with so many romantic entanglements, that you need a spreadsheet to keep track.

Tina Fey, Guillermo del Toro, John Mulaney, and Cm Punk were just a few of the stars on hand Wednesday night to promote the seemingly endless supply of new programming coming to Netflix in 2025. With multiple offerings across the wide spectrum of film, series (both scripted and unscripted), documentary, and live productions, the streamer seems intent on offering something for every viewer out there. Many fan-favorite programs are scheduled to launch new seasons throughout the year.

Here is a sampling of the popular series that will be furthering their stories in 2025, along with new programs that will launch. Drop dates have been announced for some, but most remain unknown at this point.

Emily’s relationships have always been at the heart of the show, and Season 4 didn’t disappoint. From Gabriel’s baby bombshell to the love triangle that might turn into a square, the drama was hotter than the summer sun over Paris.

Every new season of Emily in Paris promises new romantic drama that’ll keep us glued to our screens until we see it play out.

From the very beginning, the Netflix series has highlighted the at-times challenging love life of Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) as she gets involved in love triangles while adjusting to life in Paris.

She’s not the only character with some romantic drama, either!

Fans are likely up to date on the love lives of their favorite characters on the show after its fourth season premiered in September 2024. However, a new season is in the works, and we recently got some exciting casting news about some of the show’s leading men.

As we wait to see what’s in store for Season 5, fans might be want to learn more about who the actors of the show are dating in real life.

You likely already know...

Stephen King's authorial brand might be the farthest from romance writing, but the king of horror has written about romance to great effect. One of King's most gutwrenching works, "Lisey's Story," is inspired by deeply personal circumstances. It revolves around the titular Lisey who mourns the death of her husband while revisiting their intense, complex relationship. This is a story about a dead writer who is only valued by the world for his literary contributions, with Lisey being the only person capable of piecing together the complete picture of the man he was. Although a romance, the book ventures into the dark, surreal recesses of the psyche, along with the real threat of parasocial relationships taken a step too far.

The romance element in King's novels is not always this twisted or bittersweet in flavor. In fact, "11/22/63" — a quasi-historical time-travel fantasy that takes some wild swings — presents its central...

Another one of Emily's (Lily Collins) love interests is returning for Emily in Paris Season 5, and not just for a brief appearance. Lucien Laviscount, who plays the charming Alfie, is officially coming back as a series regular. The character was first introduced in Season 2 as the protagonist's French class colleague, later becoming her boyfriend. Yet, as fans of the Netflix show well know, Emily has always harbored feelings for Gabriel (Lucas Bravo) and her love life has taken several twists and turns since her arrival in Paris.

Exclusive: That looming new love triangle for Emily may become a rectangle. Fan favorite Alfie will have a larger presence in the upcoming fifth season as the actor who portrays him, Lucien Laviscount, has made a deal to rejoin the cast as a series regular, Deadline has learned.

Alfie, a sarcastic and charmingly cynical British transplant to Paris, was introduced in Season 2 of the hit Netflix romantic comedy series as a recurring character. Brit Laviscount was upped to a series regular in Season 3 as Emily (Lily Collins) found herself torn between him and her longtime crush, Gabriel (Lucas Bravo). Largely for scheduling reasons, Laviscount again became recurring in Season 4, appearing in four episodes, including the season premiere and finale.

Season 4 kicked off with Emily trying to make amends with Alfie after the bombshell at Camille and Gabriel’s ill-fated wedding. He was finally ready to forgive Emily and take her back at the masquerade ball,...

When Netflix first started releasing its own original scripted content, the streamer did so with the revolutionary concept of binge-watching. Every episode was released all at once! We didn't have to wait a week in between new episodes! We could watch at our own pace! It was great, and still is, but Netflix has introduced a new release pattern for some of its shows: the split season.

Netflix introduced the two-part release strategy for its shows long before the actors' and writers' strikes impacted the film and television industry in 2023. Money Heist released its seasons in parts, as did comedies The Ranch and Fuller House, but those instances of split seasons were nothing compared to those we're seeing now.

The film paints a picture of the Tuohys as benevolent figures who help Oher overcome the odds to become a football star. But now, more than two decades later, a dark truth has emerged.

An official production update on Emily in Paris Season 5 has hinted towards its eventual release date on Netflix.

For the first time in series history, Emily in Paris was split into two parts for Season 4, leaving many fans wondering why it was only five episodes initially.

Regardless of this new strategy utilized by Netflix, audiences still flocked to the show starring Lily Collins as Emily Cooper, whose journey in Paris, France has evolved greatly since the 2020 debut.

Now that 2024 is over, people are looking back at the year and analyzing the state of cinema based on what's been released, what happened at the box office, and what critics and audiences have gravitated to. Part of this postmortem has been a critique of increasingly bloated budgets for Hollywood movies which are beginning to underperform or outright bomb at the box office, while some films comparatively succeed thanks to minuscule budgets. It's not just a question of quantity vs. quality, as in many cases, studios can produce more quality films for less than the cost of a single, lower-quality film that's more mainstream. The clearest evidence of this is the fact that A24 produced 16 films for nearly the same cost of Red One's budget.

Child stars don’t have it easy in the Hollywood system. We’ve all heard horror stories of young actors who become cash cows for dismissive parents or lose themselves to the industry’s indulgent lifestyle.
