The Bachelor franchise needs to take a break after a heartbreaking season finale for The Bachelorette proved that the franchise doesnt care about the people who lead their shows. While there have been issues throughout The Bachelor and The Bachelorette for years, the shows have been as popular as ever with audiences and have brought new spin-offs to the franchise. Having first aired in 2002, The Bachelor quickly resonated with audiences. Showing fairy-tale romance mixed with a level of genuine love developing over a few short weeks, the show mixed elements of reality with the fantastical, creating a new experience.

As the show has become more modern, spin-offs like Bachelor In Paradise and The Golden Bachelor have brought new elements into the franchise. Showing off different types of relationships and styles of communication, the franchise has become a cornerstone of reality TV dating, but it hasnt been easy for the contestants...

The Bachelorette season 21 had one of the most disheartening, uncomfortable endings in franchise history, and the producers' lack of respect for Jenn Tran proves why the show should come to an end. Throughout The Bachelorette season 21, Jenns journey was featured through a lens of male-focused drama, ignoring the woman at the center of the season in most circumstances. Jenn, who was originally featured on Joey Graziadeis season of The Bachelor, came into her own as a contestant on the series. Making it clear who she was and what she wanted, Jenn quickly became a Bachelor Nation darling.

While Jenns time on The Bachelor came to an end before Joey had the chance to meet her family during a hometown date, she became one of the women on the short-list for the next season of The Bachelorette. Though there were others ahead of her like Daisy Kent, Joeys runner-up, or Bachelor Nation favorite Maria Georgas,...

Kelsey and Joey's relationship struggles amid public scrutiny and criticism. The couple's social media posts hint at relationship issues and a possible end. Despite trying to reassure fans, their content seems off, indicating a strained relationship.

The Bachelor season 28s Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei have been posting on social media while dealing with criticism about their relationship; I believe their posts are a sign the end of their relationship is near. While Kelsey and Joey initially met on The Bachelor season 28, Joeys journey on the franchise began during The Bachelorette season 20 when he tried to win Charity Lawsons heart. While Joey was a fan favorite throughout the season because of his open honesty and spontaneity, he wasnt the right person for Charity in the long run. Though he was heartbroken, Joey moved forward.

Joeys time as The Bachelor was exciting. He met some exciting women during his time as the lead,...

Joey and Kelsey's future may be at risk due to differing opinions on adoption. Adoption can be financially and emotionally challenging, potentially changing Joey's priorities. If they struggle with adoption, it could be a dealbreaker for their relationship.

The Bachelor season 28s final couple Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson have been open about their relationship, but I think this one non-negotiable about their future could destroy them. Joey was originally introduced during The Bachelorette season 20, hopeful to find love with Charity Lawson after seeing her on her original season of The Bachelor. While Joeys relationship with Charity was sweet, it didnt wind up being the best for either party. Joey became the lead of The Bachelor season 28, getting the chance to meet a group of women including Kelsey. The pairs connection was clear from early on.

After weeks of getting to know each other on The Bachelor, Kelsey accepted Joeys...

Hannah Brown is the most relatable Bachelorette, showcasing growth through her messy but inspiring journey on TV. Being a former beauty queen enabled Hannah Brown to connect with audiences in a real and authentic way. Capitalizing on her popularity post-reality TV, Hannah has ventured into successful projects like writing novels and hosting a podcast.

The Bachelor Franchise has produced many couples, contestants, and personalities who have evolved into more than what Bachelor Nation associates with the franchise. Still, some leave a trail that is hard to emulate, and they will always be known for their appearances on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

One of the most popular alumni of the franchise is The Bachelor Season 23 contestant and The Bachelorette Season 15 star, Hannah Brown. Her endearing personality drew many to the then-24-year-old. Hannah is also ranked among the top 10 The Bachelorette based on net worth.

Despite the years since her...

Joey and Kelsey's love story started on The Bachelor, leading to a secret engagement revealed in March 2024. Maria made it to Joey's final four but was ultimately sent home due to stronger connections with other women. Joey and Kelsey were spotted at Stagecoach with other Bachelor alumni, but their focus remains on each other.

The Bachelors lovebirds Joey Graziadei & Kelsey Anderson have taken the Southern California country music festival by storm, but they arent alone in their adventures. Joey met Kelsey in September 2023 and went on their first one-on-one date in Marbella, Spain. After a romantic outing in Jasper, Canada, he knew they had something special between them. Kelsey dropped the L-word during the fantasy suite date and Joey popped the question to Kelsey in the finale that was filmed in November 2023. Joey and Kelsey kept their engagement a secret until March 2024 but are now flaunting each other on social media.

Hyderabad, June 27 (Ians) Telugu TV viewers can look forward to a new sitcom in the form of the upcoming comedy drama ‘Maya Bazaar For Sale Today’, which acts as a satirical social drama on the concept of the modern day Indian family which holds a mirror to the society in order to show that tragedy does not discriminate regardless of wealth and social status.

Describing the show, director Gautami Challagulla said, “We wanted to hold up a mirror to people so they can see that life’s tragedies don’t discriminate and come after all.It felt essential to expose the audience to newer ways of life through these characters. I am grateful for the unceasing support of the cast and crew that gave life to my vision.”

It is rare to come across a good horror comedy, especially in the Malayalam cinema scene. It is not often that you get to watch a film that brings you not just comedy but also satire, divinity, and the belief in supernatural occurrences. Does any of that even exist, to begin with? Written and directed by Jithu Madhavan, “Romancham,” which means goosebumps, is based on a real story of seven bachelors who are trying to build a life of their own in Bangalore in the year 2007. Amidst all the chaos in their lives, the men decide to conduct a séance, but does it go south pretty quickly? Does a playful séance activity turn into something totally scary, or is it just a part of their imagination?

Exclusive: Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner Judd Hirsch and Lab Rats: Bionic Island actor Tyrel Jackson Williams have joined Disney’s feature sequel for Stargirl.

The Julia Hart directed, co-written with husband Jordan Horowitz, follows Stargirl’s (Grace VanderWaal) journey out of Mica into a bigger world of music, dreams and possibility. The script is based on the original character from Jerry Spinelli’s best-selling book of the same name. VanderWaal will write and perform new original music for the sequel. Elijah Richardson plays Evan, the romantic lead opposite VanderWaal.

Hirsch will play Mr. Mitchell, one of Stargirl’s new neighbors while Williams will play Terrell, Evan’s older brother and an aspiring filmmaker. They join Judy Greer, who we first told you plays Ana, Stargirl’s mom; and Uma Thurman who will portray Roxanne Martel, a musician Stargirl admires and encounters on her journey.

Jeanne McCarthy and Nicole Abellera are casting the sequel.

J.K Simmons and Julie Delpy star in Kurt Voelker’s touching, but at times slightly misjudged indie drama about a grieving school teacher attempting to survive the tragic loss of his wife and mother of his teenage son. Written and directed by Voelker, The Bachelors offers a commendable study in grief and heartache, but sadly never quite manages to ring true enough for it to be anything else but a cliché-laden coming-of-age story.

To overcome the sadness brought on by the loss of his wife, Maths teacher Bill (J.K. Simmons) has decided to start a new life with his teenage son Wes (Josh Wiggins) away from a home which still reminds both of them of their huge loss. When he is offered a new position at a private school by an old college friend, Bill decides to pack up and leave his old life behind in the hope that...

Declining the sexual advances of a Hollywood director early in her career earned Delpy an enduring reputation for being ‘difficult’. She talks about how, despite her successes, she is still battling misogyny in the film industry today

Julie Delpy is angry. Right now, the French actor and director should be up to her neck in spreadsheets. For three years, she has worked night and day “fighting, fighting, fighting” to get her sixth film as a writer-director, My Zoe, financed. The script is the best thing she has ever written, she says, a mother-daughter drama “with a crazy third act”. The plan was to shoot this spring, but in November, the night before Thanksgiving, a financier pulled out at the 11th hour, spooked she believes, by a “sexist” American lawyer advising him. “My God, the guy was like a poison.”

So here we are, drinking tea in a fancy Paris hotel a few days before Christmas.

After playing J. Jonah Jameson, the cigar-chomping editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, in director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, J.K. Simmons is stepping into the rain-soaked shoes of Gotham City Police Commissioner Jim Gordon in the hotly anticipated Justice League, and he says he's looking to bring a different kind of ruggedness to the role.

Et's Ashley Crossan recently sat down with the Oscar winner to talk about taking on the iconic role, and Simmons recalled how daunting the opportunity felt when he first met with director Zack Snyder.

"I don't know anything about show business," Simmons hilariously prefaced his account of his first meeting with the blockbuster director. "My agent called and said, 'Zack Snyder wants to meet with you,' and I was like, 'Awesome. Who's that?' And he was like, 'He's like one of the biggest directors.' Not even like, 'This is what it's about,' just, 'Go meet...

"The only way you're going to feel better is if we figure out some way for you to let her go..." Freestyle Media has unveiled the first trailer for The Bachelors, an indie dramedy directed by Kurt Voelker that first premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival. The film is about a man, played by J.K. Simmons, who takes his teenage son and moves into the big city after his wife dies. As they each begin to adjust to their new life and seek ways to heal their wounds, they both find comfort in newfound romance. The impressive cast includes Julie Delpy, Josh Wiggins, Kevin Dunn, and Odeya Rush. This looks charming and heartfelt, and full of some fun scenes as well as touching moments. As usual for American indies, but I'm still curious. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Kurt Voelker's The Bachelors, direct from YouTube: After...

The majority of movies at film festivals don’t release trailers beforehand, so we often choose which films to see based on the filmmakers involved, the cast, and a brief description. Approaching a movie fresh is a hugely different experience than seeing one that’s strategically unveiled three trailers and a barrage of TV spots, and because […]

Exclusive: Twenty-two years ago — longer than the young star of The Bachelors Josh Wiggins has been alive — writer-director Kurt Voelker and then-producer Matt Baer began a friendship. Kurt was just out of film school, and Baer was working at management company Brillstein-Grey. They began working on a film based on a popular video game at the time called Leisure Suit Larry.

We used to see J.K. Simmons in film after film and happily say, “Hey, it’s that guy again!” Now we see J.K. Simmons in film after film and just as happily say, “Hey, it’s J.K. Simmons again!”

Since winning the Best Supporting Actor Oscar last year for his blistering performance in Whiplash, the 61-year-old character actor has worked at an even more furious pace than before that Oscar triumph.

He has a key role in this month’s thriller The Accountant. There’s also La La Land, a Hollywood-set musical fantasy by Whiplash director Damien Chazelle, which comes out in December, and the true story of the Boston Marathon bombing, Patriots Day, which comes out early next year.

Not exactly slowing his roll, Hong Sang-soo is already shooting the follow-up to last year’s Right Now, Wrong Then — one of the finest films we saw in 2015, and one likely to end up on a few best-of-2016 lists if it actually gets released — all the while reuniting with leads Jung Jae-young and Kim Min-hee.
