Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reality star Teddi Mellencamp has been spotted with a newly identified love interest amid her serious battle with cancer.

First diagnosed in 2022, in February, Mellencamp revealed she required emergency brain surgery following the discovery of multiple tumors. She went on to have 16 surgeries. In April, she told her followers the cancer had progressed to stage 4, with new tumors discovered on her brain and lungs.

Mellencamp was first seen with her new man last month, but his identity was unconfirmed. However, the two were seen together on Monday, following which he was identified as TV producer Ricci Rea.

Though he does not have a social media presence, Rea’s LinkedIn reports that he has worked as an event producer for Fox and Apple TV+. He appears to be a senior producer at the boutique creative agency Dorothy now.

Mellencamp’s new relationship first made headlines...

Netflix will deliver the second season of its iteration of the character, Wednesday Addams, when Wednesday returns later this year for its sophomore season. However, before the character was embodied by Jenna Ortega, the titular detective was portrayed by Christina Ricci, who many saw as the classic Wednesday. Ricci played the morbid and emotionally reserved child in 1991's The Addams Family and the 1993 sequel, Addams Family Values. So, when the character was announced to be returning in Netflix's show, some audience members had somewhat expected Ricci to return to the role.

The streamer, however, opted for Ortega, but Ricci did return, playing the supporting character, Marilyn Thornihill, a botany teacher at Wednesday's boarding school, Nevermore Academy. While Ricci not reprising her role as the iconic character might have saddened fans, Ricci reveals she doesn't think she owns the character. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, the Yellowjackets star revealed:

"The last time I played this part,...

If there's one clear hero in "Yellowjackets," it's Natalie "Nat" Scatorccio, as played by Sophie Thatcher as a teenager in the past timeline and Juliette Lewis as an adult in the present timeline. Teen Natalie is the only character on the show who consistently tries to do the right thing, even if this sometimes backfires and makes everything worse. Whereas Tai (Jasmin Savoy Brown and Tawny Cypress), Van (Liv Hewson and Lauren Ambrose), Misty (Samantha Hanratty and Christina Ricci), Lottie (Courtney Eaton and Simone Kessell), and (especially) Shauna (Sophie Nélisse and Melanie Lynskey) have all disappointed us at one time or another, Natalie has stayed brave, kind, and reasonably level-headed.

By the end of season 3, it seems like the group has split into two main factions in the past timeline: one that's far more unbalanced, and Team Resistance, which is made up of everyone else.

[This story contains major spoilers from the season three finale of Yellowjackets, “Full Circle.”]

Yellowjackets has found a new deadly duo.

After the killing spree of season three, the Showtime series ended with a revelatory finale, titled “Full Circle,” that answered both the biggest question of the series (who is Pit Girl?) and the biggest question of the season (who killed Lottie?). Both answers also indicated that Shauna (played by Melanie Lynskey in the present and Sophie Nélisse in the past) perhaps deserves what her surviving friends are now plotting against her in present day.

The wilderness timeline revealed that the girl who savagely died in the pilot of the series is Mari (Alexa Barajas), in a hunt that was sparked by “Antler Queen” Shauna (Nélisse). And the present-day timeline in the survival saga unmasked Shauna’s teenage daughter, Callie (Sarah Desjardins), as the murderer of Yellowjackets survivor Lottie (Simone Kessell). In between those revelations, fellow survivor Van (Lauren Ambrose) died...

Yellowjackets is going big for the 2025 Emmys.

Gold Derby has confirmed that the Showtime drama is submitting 19 different actors for the third season.

Melanie Lynskey, who earned Emmy nominations for playing Shauna Sadecki in the Showtime drama's first two seasons, will be submitted again in Best Drama Actress. She will be joined in the lead category by Sophie Nélisse, who plays cannibalistic teen Shauna in the wilderness, and Tawny Cypress, who takes on split personalities as adult Taissa Turner.

The rest of the Yellowjackets squad will battle it out in the crowded Best Supporting Actress field: Jasmin Savoy Brown as teen Taissa, Sophie Thatcher as teen Natalie Scatorccio, Samantha Hanratty as teen Misty Quigley, Courtney Eaton as teen Lottie Matthews, Lauren Ambrose as Van Palmer, and Christina Ricci, who was Emmy nominated for Season 1, as adult Misty.

Also submitted in Best Supporting Actress this year will be two non-Yellowjackets: Sarah Desjardins as Shauna's daughter,...

Editor's Note: This article contains spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 3, Episode 8, "A Normal, Boring Life."

When the first Yellowjacketstrailer dropped a few months ago, we were all gobsmacked by the reveal of Oscar-winning actress Hilary Swank running for her life in the present timeline. Now, after seven episodes of speculation, it's finally confirmed that Swank is playing the adult version of Melissa. Jenna Burgess originated the character in the '90s timeline, and thanks to her relationship with Shauna (Sophie Nélisse), she's become a major player in Season 3 after spending much of the first two seasons on the bench.

During a recent interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff for Episode 8 at SXSW, "A Normal, Boring Life," co-showrunners Jonathan Lisco and Ashley Lyle and producer Drew Comins spoke about the casting process for Swank. When asked how they went about getting the heavily decorated actress, Lisco jumped in first, saying, "We went to her.

For Jenna Ortega, getting in touch with Wednesday's lead meant staying true to her character's artistic roots.

Speaking with Den of Geek ahead of the new film Death of a Unicorn's release, Ortega talked about playing the fan-favorite The Addams Family daughter and the role Charles Addams' The New Yorker cartoons played in helping her get Wednesday Addams right. "In between season 1 and season 2, I actually went to this antiquarian bookshop and I picked up some of the first published books of Charles Addams. I kept that on my bedside table as we were shooting just for reference. You know, looking at [his] dark tools," she said. On top of that, Ortega researched another of Addams' books "that was just stuff that inspired him throughout the years. Like weird families and weird things like that."

While Addams' characters weren't named in the original cartoons, their macabre humor and subversive tone...

Samantha Hanratty is one of the best parts of Yellowjackets, with her unhinged portrayal of Misty Quigley. Christina Ricci is unreal as the adult version of Misty, and it’s remarkable that Hanratty was able to come in as a relative unknown and match Ricci so well. The way Misty’s wide-eyed face lights up with unbridled enthusiasm can be either funny, foreboding, or heartbreaking depending on the situation. This season Misty has already had a standout episode when she defended Coach Ben (Steven Krueger) in his trial.

Christina Ricci has been an accomplished actress and has starred in several popular films and series since her big screen debut in Mermaids (1990). But one role she missed out on was that of Mathilda in the classic 1994 film, Léon: The Professional, losing out to Natalie Portman. And in a new interview with the YouTube show, First We Feast (via The Wrap), Ricci reveals the ridiculous reason why: she was "too common and healthy looking."

That may come as a surprise to some, considering one of Ricci's most famous roles was the rather gothic Wednesday Addams in the early 1990s hit film, The Addams Family and its sequel. She explained to her Yellowjackets co-star Melanie Lynskey why she lost out on her "dream role:"

"I really wanted to be in 'Léon: The Professional,' but I was too common and healthy-looking. What a time to be twelve."

Frank Grillo has spent years carving out a niche as one of Hollywood’s most reliable tough guys, and Mr-9: Do or Die is a Bangladeshi breakout that could well be one of his best. Now it is doing no harm to his reputation with a blistering run into the Starz streaming chart, with action fans jumping into the gunfire-ridden story of international intrigue and espionage.

Adapted from a popular novel series featuring the “Bangladeshi James Bond”, Mr-9: Do or Die follows a secret agent code-named Masud Rana (Abm Sumon). Grillo plays the illusive antagonist who is masterminding some deadly arms deals that government officials want to shut down. The plot sees Rana being enlisted to take down the bloodsoaked reign of Grillo’s Roman Rains and his ruthless businessman brother Ricci (Matt Passmore) in a race across the world.

Christina Ricci talks about how she lost a major role to Natalie Portman. The Yellowjackets star started her career as a child star, featuring in the 1990 movie, Mermaids, and scored her big break portraying Wednesday Addams in the 1991 movie The Addams Family. She transitioned into more adult-themed roles in 200 Cigarettes, The Ice Storm, Buffalo '66, and many more. In the Tim Burton-directed Netflix series Wednesday, she appeared as Marilyn Thornhill, a teacher at Nevermore Academy.

Most recently, Ricci played a sadistic healthcare worker in the hit show Yellowjackets. The show follows a group of girls who are stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash, taking place in dual timelines. Ricci's character, Misty, is one of the survivors in the present timeline who is still haunted by what happened to them in the woods. While promoting the show's season 3, Ricci reflects on her childhood career, where she admits...

Christina Ricci is a Hollywood star who has grown up in the spotlight, but she is also someone who has avoided many of the issues faced by stars who hit the high life too young. After her breakout role in 1991's The Addams Family, many would have thought that the Goth-like teen would swerve towards a more "problematic" lifestyle. However, it all turned out great for the actress, and listening to the advice of her peers certainly played a big part of that. In Ricci's case, this advice arrived when she was just a teenager auditioning for a Stephen King movie.

Ricci was recently the recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 35 years after she debuted alongside Cher and Winona Ryder in the comedy-drama Mermaids. Today, Ricci is still very active in both films and television. She had a major role in Netflix's Wednesday, the...

Christina Ricci was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 6, joining more than 2,800 figures from film, television, music, and sports. The ceremony took place at the intersection of Hollywood and Argyle, an area she holds close to her heart. “It’s a really good corner,” Ricci said, noting its proximity to the Frolic Room, featured in A Woman Under the Influence, and recalling her own time spent there in her twenties.

Ricci, who rose to fame in the 1990s with films like The Addams Family and Mermaids, reflected on her career and the evolution of the entertainment industry. Asked about the future of filmmaking, she expressed a desire for creative leadership over corporate decision-making. “I hope that we are able to get back to things being run by people who love film and TV instead of by people who run corporations really well,” she said.

A veteran actress and ambitious future ghost, Christina Ricci already has plans to haunt her star on the Walk of Fame. “It’s a really good corner,” Ricci told IndieWire, standing at the intersection between Hollywood and Argyle.

More than 2,800 celebrities from throughout TV, film, sports, and music have their names emblazoned on the city’s most iconic sidewalk. On March 6, the Chamber of Commerce unveiled Ricci’s honorific in a particularly special location. Her star is catty-corner to Amoeba Music, across the street from the world-famous Pantages Theater, and easily accessed by way of the Hollywood and Vine metro stop.

“What I’m more excited about is the fact that we’re right across the street from the Frolic Room, which is in that amazing Cassavetes movie with Gena Rowlands,” said Ricci. “She goes there when she has a freakout one night. It’s been there forever, and I...

The Hollywood Walk of Fame gained a new star on Thursday morning when Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Christina Ricci was honored for her decades-long career in film and television. Hollywood Boulevard was flooded with fans of Ricci toting merchandise from her most famous projects, including The Addams Family, Casper, and her current series, Showtime's survival thriller Yellowjackets.

"They do the list of nominees who could get it and the second I saw [my name] I cried," Ricci told Gold Derby following the ceremony. "I don't really understand quite well why it's so meaningful to me, but I think it's such validation and acceptance and an acknowledgment, and it feels really special."

Ricci's former collaborators took to the makeshift stage to give impassioned speeches about the impact she's had on them and their careers. Dan Bucatinsky, in particular, got choked up as he recounted taking a 17-year-old Ricci in with his husband...

Christina Ricci is recalling what she “dreaded” most on set as a child actress.

The “Yellowjackets” star made her film debut in 1990 at age nine in “Mermaids.” She went on to lead iconic films such as “Sleepy Hollow,” “The Addams Family,” “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” and “Casper” as a teen before continuing her career into adulthood with “Monster,” “Black Snake Moan,” and more.

Ricci, who is now receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, told Variety that growing up in the spotlight came with its downsides, namely being told “what was wrong” with her during camera tests.

“I hated fittings and I hated camera-test days because I knew those were the days when everyone would look at me and talk about what was wrong with me, with my appearance and what they needed to fix,” Ricci said. “‘We can’t ever shoot her from this side.

Acclaimed actor Christina Ricci is now among the many stars immortalized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame following a decorated film and TV career. Not only has acting given the Yellowjackets star success and fame, but she credits the industry for saving her from a tumultuous childhood.

Speaking with Variety about her Walk of Fame induction, which she called a "profoundly meaningful" moment in her decades-long career, Ricci opened up about her love for acting and what it did for her professionally and personally. Ricci admitted that becoming a film star gave her renewed purpose after a "not very nice" childhood with a family she didn't feel safe around. Having landed key roles in Mermaids, Casper and The Addams Family as a young actor, she showed she could handle the spotlight from an early age. However, she had to overcome the toxicity of home life to deliver on-screen.

When Netflix announced that Christina Ricci would be appearing in the first season of Tim Burton’s Wednesday series, some fans hoped that she would be taking on the role of Morticia, the mother of the titular character she played in two movies in the 1990s. However, in a new interview with Variety, Ricci indirectly addressed one reason why that was probably never an option for her.

When asked about which roles she would like to play that she hasn’t already, the Yellowjackets star segued into talking about a role that she doesn’t want to take on in a movie or series: a mother. She told the publication:

Wednesday Addams is one of the most iconic characters of all time. Her signature gothic fashion, macabre sense of humor, and disregard for societal norms have been delighting audiences since 1938 when she first appeared in Charles Addams's New Yorker comic strips. Since then, the character has been portrayed in multiple television shows, animations, and feature films.

Christina Ricci brought Wednesday to life in two beloved 1990s films, The Addams Family and Addams Family Values. The films were incredibly successful and remain fan favorites to this day. Her flawless performance instantly established her as the definitive version of the character for decades. However, in 2022, Netflix premiered its series Wednesday, with Jenna Ortega delivering a brilliant performance that reinvented the character for a new generation. Ortega's portrayal has sparked debate among fans about whether Ricci's Wednesday remains the definitive version or if Ortega's rendition has claimed the title.

The charming, mysterious, and all together ooky Addams Family has captivated audiences for decades - dating back to Charles Addams' popular single-panel cartoons that appeared in The New Yorker magazine beginning in 1938. Through the decades, several filmmakers have taken the unconventional family to the screen and next month, Barry Sonenfeld's Addams Family Values (arguably one of the greatest sequels ever made), will make its way to Max.

While sequels don't generally have the reputation of critically surpassing their predecessors, Addams Family Values is a different story. When it came to critical reception, the 1993 sequel fared better than Sonnenfeld's The Addams Family (1991). Addams Family Values boasts a 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, an 8% increase from the 1991 original. These higher marks were largely due to iconic performances by Christina Ricci (as Wednesday Addams) and Joan Cusack as Uncle Fester's manipulative girlfriend, Debbie. Addams Family Values begins streaming on Max on January 1st.

The questions surrounding Showtime and Paramount+'s spooky thriller, Yellowjackets, have not ceased since the show premiered back in November 2021. But with the third season, answers are on their way, according to one of the show's co-creators in a new interview with Vanity Fair.

Speaking with Vanity Fair ahead of the new season, co-creator Ashley Lyle explained that "there are at least two very big questions with very clear answers." This will undoubtedly come as a thrill to fans who have spent the past two seasons obsessing over the mysterious, often supernatural-seeming terror at the heart of the show.

Christina Ricci's decades-long career dates back to her childhood, when she became known for playing smart, spooky characters.

In 1995, she starred in Casper as Kat Harvey, a teenager who develops a bond with a ghost. Four years later, Ricci worked alongside Tim Burton, a master of spooky, for his gothic horror Sleepy Hollow.

Just announced this week, the Hollywood Walk of Fame Class of 2024 includes horror icon Christina Ricci, who finally gets her well-earned star on the Walk of Fame next year.

Christina Ricci is of course a longtime favorite among horror fans, becoming a household name thanks to her performance as Wednesday Addams in the live action Addams Family movies of the 1990s. She just returned to the world of The Addams Family in the Netflix series “Wednesday,” playing a new character for director Tim Burton.

Ricci also starred in Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow back in 1999, with other notable genre roles including Casper, Bless the Child, Wes Craven’s Cursed, The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, and Showtime’s hit series “Yellowjackets.” Ricci also appeared in Sam Raimi’s series “50 States of Fright,” and most recently starred in the 2022 horror movie Monstrous.

The same week it was announced that Christina Ricci is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, we’ve learned that Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow is coming to 4K Ultra HD.

Paramount Pictures will release the 1999 Tim Burton horror movie Sleepy Hollow on 4K + Blu-ray + Digital Code on September 5, 2023, just in time for Halloween.

You can pre-order Sleepy Hollow on 4K Ultra HD from Amazon today.

In the film, “Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp) is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people; the culprit is legendary apparition The Headless Horseman.”

Depp and Ricci starred alongside Christopher Walken, Miranda Richardson, Michael Gambon, Caspar Van Dien, Ian McDiarmid, Lisa Marie, and Michael Gough.

This story about the editors of “Yellowjackets” first ran in the Drama Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.

The opening theme to “Yellowjackets” goes, “keep simple, nothing tired,” and this mantra could not apply more to the people who might actually be the true heroes behind the Showtime hit: the tireless editing team. The drama’s second season about a group of women grappling with the aftermath of a crash landing in the wilderness in their youth has pushed the envelope even further (cults! cannibalism!) and introduced more characters (including Elijah Wood’s wealthy amateur sleuth). But for two of the prominent editors on the show, Kevin D. Ross and Jeff Israel, it was just another day at the office, conveniently located in their own residences.

“We all work from home, so we have to keep contact in with each other constantly,” Israel said. “They’re writing the episodes...

Last year’s breakout hit “Yellowjackets” swarmed awards season with seven Emmy nominations including Best Drama Series in 2022. The Showtime drama is looking to outperform those numbers this year by submitting 18 actors for consideration from its Season 2 cast. The Emmy ballots were officially unveiled on the Television Academy’s website on June 15, the same day nominations-round voting began (it will conclude on June 26 at 10:00 p.m.).

Most notable is Melanie Lynskey, who earned a Best Actress bid for playing Shauna Sadecki last year and currently ranks second in our odds to win the prize this time around. Cast mates joining her in the Best Drama Actress field are Tawny Cypress (Taissa Turner), Juliette Lewis (Natalie Scatorccio) and the teen version of Shauna, Sophie Nélisse.

Christina Ricci looks to repeat her nomination from last year as well.

Christina Ricci is a prominent American actress and producer. She made her film debut at just nine years old in Mermaids, which was then followed up by her breakout role as Wednesday Addams in The Addams family and its sequel, Addams Family Values.

Christina Ricci Biography: Age, Early Life, Family, Education

Christina Ricci was born on February 12, 1980 (Ricci’s age: 43) in Santa Monica, California to Ralph and Sarah Ricci. Her mother worked as a Ford Agency model during the 1960s before later finding work as a real estate agent. Her father had a more varied career, finding jobs as a lawyer, gym teacher, drug counselor, and primal scream therapist.

Early on in her childhood, Ricci and her family relocated to Montclair, New Jersey. She is the youngest of four. Her three older siblings are Dante, Rafael, and Pia. Her parents split up just as she was entering her teenage years,...

“The thing I love the most about playing Misty is that she’s really somebody who has accepted the fact that she’s never going to be accepted,” says Emmy-nominated “Yellowjackets” star Christina Ricci. “She still has those compulsions that she cannot ignore. The compulsive need to try to be accepted. The compulsive need to go after someone and see if they will be her friend. But I think deep down she understands who she is and the position that she’s been given. Because of that, I don’t think she really understands societal norms.” Watch our video interview above.

Season 2 of “Yellowjackets” is currently airing on Showtime. Ricci’s role as Misty Quigley earned her a Best Supporting Actress Emmy nomination last year. It was one of seven bids for the series including Best Drama Series.

The involvement of former Wednesday Addams star Christina Ricci was a big draw for Netflix’s hit show Wednesday, but series creators Miles Millar and Alfred Gough revealed that it nearly did not happen. Based on The Addams Family characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams, Wednesday saw the latest incarnation of the titular character played by rising star Jenna Ortega. The show’s cast also included Ricci, who first rose to fame playing Gomez and Morticia’s daughter in the 1991 film The Addams Family and its 1993 sequel Addams Family Values.

In a recent interview on the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast, the show’s creators revealed that scheduling issues almost prevented Ricci from becoming involved. Explaining that the show ultimately had to adjust its shooting schedule to accommodate Ricci’s pregnancy and her work on Yellowjackets, the series ended up filming all her episodes toward the end of their production window.

Christina Ricci came to fame at just 10 years of age when she took on the role of Wednesday Addams in 1991’s “The Addams Family.” She gave the character a deadpan aura and the actress is still best-known for this sardonic wit. Ricci reprised the role in 1993’s “Addams Family Values,” where she solidified her take on the character, who was 12-13 years old in the movies, as the defining one. Three decades later, she returned to the world of “The Addams Family” in Netflix’s “Wednesday “— but not as Wednesday Addams.

Instead, that role went to Jenna Ortega, who is re-defining the character, now age 16, with her uber-popular performance. The comedy series sees Wednesday enrolling at Nevermore Academy. Ricci plays Marilyn Thornhill — Nevermore Academy’s science teacher and Wednesday’s dorm mother. At first, it seemed like Marilyn would be a neat little cameo-like role for Ricci that would satisfy fans of the original movies.

“Yellowjackets” earned seven Emmy nominations for its first season and stands to perform even better this time around. Ardent supporters within the television academy who want the show to compete in as high a number of categories as possible have a trio of viable Drama Supporting Actor candidates to back. The top 10 is currently swarming with names from “Succession,” “The White Lotus: Sicily” and “House of the Dragon.” As of now, “Yellowjackets” trails all three for Best Drama Series but only by a relative handful of users. Emmy voters haven’t been shy about promoting their favorites in the past; a restricted ballot can only effect so much change. If Showtime’s hit thriller is the awards juggernaut some are saying it’ll pan out to be, the show could sneak at least one of three male cast members – Elijah Wood, Warren Kole and Steven Krueger – into the race.
