An incredible singer, she’s been on the stage along with music artists like Ray Charles, Earl Klugh, and Nancy Wilson.

A new season of Sweet Magnolas has arrived and all of our favorites are back… or at least most of them that is.

Across the ten new episodes, there is a lot for fans to process including several shocking developments that include a pair of engagements, a surprise wedding, and a shocking death. The season also welcomes some new faces to the town of Serenity as well as a few surprise returns from characters who had previously left town.

Sadly, Trotter's return is not among them.

Sweet Magnolias season 4 fails to offer an update on Trotter

As season 4 begins, we learn that a year has passed since the events of the Sweet Magnolias season 3 finale and a lot has happened in that time. The premiere does a great job of catching us up on the major developments in the lives of our favorite Serenity townspeople and bringing us up to...

From rom-coms to intense thrillers, Zoey Deutch continues to propel herself into Hollywood stardom. The daughter of Back to the Future actress Lea Thompson and frequent John Hughes collaborator Howard Deutch, she has worked on a variety of movies, shining in supporting roles and eventually working her way up to prove herself as a lead actor. She has shared the screen with fellow rising stars like Glen Powell as well as Oscar winners like Mark Rylance and Emma Stone.

While her first role was on The Suite Life on Deck, her versatile performances since have made her a growing star. From working with acclaimed director Richard Linklater to leading one of Netflix's most popular romantic comedies, Deutch's performances have been well-received by fans and critics alike while the movies themselves do moderate to well for the most part. Returning to the screen in Clint Eastwood's latest (and possibly...

In Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias, the fictional small town of Serenity, South Carolina, is filled with dozens of beloved — and not so beloved — characters that we’ve come to know over the last three seasons. New characters have come into the fold, while it seems like a couple may be leaving by the end of the Season 3 finale, and the fate of fan-favorite Trotter (Hunter Burke) is up in the air. From the eyes of best friends Maddie Townsend (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Dana Sue Sullivan (Brooke Elliott), and Helen Decatur (Heather Headley), we’ve seen the good and bad of the town and many of the characters, allowing for even the minute supporting characters to have quite a bit of depth. Noreen (Jamie Lynn Spears), for instance, has experienced tremendous growth and it’s a blessing that she wasn’t written out of the show after she left Bill (Chris Klein...

Exclusive: TalentWorks has added Lindsay Whitaker to its agent roster.

Whitaker recently transitioned to the agency world after working as a talent manager for seven years. She previously did a two-year stint at Evolution Entertainment, where she was promoted to manager. She later joined Haven Entertainment, where she started the talent department with Brady McKay and Amy Slomovits.

Whitaker brings with her clients including Anjelika Washington, Alexis Louder, Hunter Burke (TBS’ Claws), Evan Gamble, among others.

A native of Chattanooga, Tn, Whitaker graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications.

Resurrection of both a literal and figurative kind factors heavily into “Lost Bayou,” director Brian C. Miller Richard’s saga about a down-and-out young woman who reunites with her father on his remote houseboat. Though there’s plenty of mysticism coursing through the film’s veins, there’s not quite enough magic, with the easygoing momentum often tipping into listlessness. Those with a fondness for Louisiana’s sultry, swampy backwoods will no doubt take to the movie’s pitch-perfect regional atmosphere, but that can’t compensate for a narrative that’s too predictable.

Premiering at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, the drama (scripted by Nick Lavin and Hunter Burke) revolves around Gal (Teri Wyble), whose habitual boozing and pill-popping has alienated her from her young son. She shows up considerably zonked and a day late to the boy’s birthday party, held at the home of his father (Jackson Beals) and new step-mom.

Lifetime is bringing the cast of One Tree Hill back together!

The cabler has ordered 'Tis the Season: A One Tree Hill Cast Reunion which will find Hilarie Burton, Robert Buckley, Danneel Ackles, Tyler Hilton, Stephen Colletti, and Antwon Tanner back together, presumably to chat about their time on the WB/CW drama.

What's more, there's not that long to wait for this special: It will air Thursday, November 22 at 10/9c and will span one-hour.

The news comes just months after there were rumors that a revival of the series was in the works because members of the cast of the hit drama were sharing images on social media that seemed to hint at a reunion.

However, it was later revealed that select cast members were assembling to work on The Christmas Contract, the latest Lifetime original movie.

Those cast members are Burton,...

We’re just one day past the autumnal equinox, but Lifetime already is in the holiday spirit. The cable channel has unwrapped its slate of Christmas movies, and there are 14 new originals under the tree this year along with nine acquired pics and a couple of specials.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas as the A+E Networks-owned net unveils its telepic slate billed as It’s a Wonderful Lifetime. After kicking off November 21 with a week featuring five nights of premieres, each ensuing week of the holiday season will feature new movies every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Check out the full lineup with descriptions and premiere dates below.

“It’s a Wonderful Lifetime is back in a major way with more hours of holiday programming than we have ever had before,” said Tanya Lopez, Evp Movies, Limited Series and Original Movie Acquisitions at Lifetime and Lmn.

One Tree Hill is not returning.

But the cast is reuniting for a Lifetime movie this Christmas. That's about the closest thing we have to a silver lining after being teased by the cast earlier this week.

Lifetime announced Wednesday that Hilarie Burton, Robert Buckley, Danneel Ackles, and Antwon Tanner were all reuniting for The Christmas Contract.

The TV movie follows Jolie (Burton) as she makes her way home to Louisiana for the first time since she parted ways with Foster.

As fate would have it, Foster is also on his way back to town with a brand new girlfriend, and Jolie's friend, Naomi (Ackles) tells her she should bring back Naomi's brother.

Mystery (project) solved. Lifetime has set The Christmas Contract movie with One Tree Hill alums Hilarie Burton, Robert Buckley, Danneel Ackles, Antwon Tanner set to star, and a musical appearance from Tyler Hilton. Lifetime has acquired the film from Active Entertainment with debut set as part of the network’s annual It’s A Wonderful Lifetime holiday lineup later this year.

The former One Tree Hill cast members generated social media buzz earlier this week when they posted Instagram photos of themselves on the set of what Tanner called a “new project” with the hashtag #christmas2018. Filming on the movie began earlier this month in Louisiana. The Instagram and other social media posts were later deleted.

Jordan Ladd (Cabin Fever), Cheryl Ladd (Charlie’s Angels), Bruce Boxleitner (Tron), Jason London (Dazed and Confused), Hunter Burke (Claws), Teri Wyble (The Walking Dead), and Ritchie Montgomery (Baskets) also star.

In The Christmas Contract,...

Initially expected to contend for Oscar attention last year, Thank You For Your Service is now gearing up to make a 2017 run. The film is a much more intimate take on the war genre, offering up a Miles Teller showcase in the process. Yesterday, a Trailer dropped for the flick, suggesting that the delay had nothing to do with quality. You’ll be able to see it at the end of this article, as per the usual around here, but first…some discussion is in order. I’ve been including Thank You For Your Service here and there in predictions for some time now. Was I nuts? Read on to find out. The project is a drama centered on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (or Ptsd) and the cost of war. Here, we follow Adam Schumann (Teller), a soldier coming home to his wife Saskia Schumann (Haley Bennett) and child after serving bravely in the Middle East. While initially he is happy to be home and spending time with his beautiful wife, Ptsd quickly rears its ugly head. Reluctant to discuss what went on over there, he struggles to deal with the price of war and what he’s brought home with him. Jason Hall adapts the book by David Finkel and directs here. The cast here includes the likes of Hunter Burke, Keisha Castle-Hughes, Joe Cole, Omar J. Dorsey, Scott Haze, Amy Schumer, Kate Lyn Sheil, and many more. Thomas Newman contributes the score, while the cinematography is from Roman Vasyanov. This initial Trailer suggests a potentially devastating film. The devil will be in the details, but the skeleton is there for sure. Teller seems to be giving a strong performance, which could be what anchors things and puts it into awards contention (though more on that later). If Hall can prove a solid director and turn in a script slightly more well developed than his acclaimed one for American Sniper, there’s real potential. A lot remains to be seen, but just as a first Trailer, this is good stuff. If it lives up to the potential, it could be an emotional and important movie that plays to all sorts of audiences. Oscar wise, Thank You For Your Service seems potentially right up their alley. If things shake out right, look for an across the board campaign, including plays in Best Picture, Best Director (for Hall), Best Actor (for Teller), Best Supporting Actress (for Bennett), Best [...]...
