“Freakier Friday” is now in theaters, and yes, Pink Slip does reunite for a performance. But “Take Me Away” isn’t the only song you’ll recognize in the sequel.

More than two decades after the first film, “Freakier Friday” catches up with Anna and Tess Coleman once again, played by a returning Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. Now, Anna has a daughter of her own, as well as a soon-to-be stepdaughter, but neither teen is too pleased about Anna’s impending nuptials.

What follows is a four-way swap this time, with the Gen Z girls switched into Lohan and Curtis’s bodies, respectively. But you know this. If you’re here, you’re curious about the music, and we’ve got you covered. Here are all the songs in the “Freakier Friday” soundtrack, from Chappell Roan to Britney Spears.

Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner died on July 20, 2025, while vacationing in Costa Rica. He was swimming off the coast when he was caught in a riptide and pulled under the waves. He was 54 years old. 

Warner is perhaps best known for playing Theo Huxtable, the irascible, well-meaning, but mistake-prone teenager on "The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992, a role he would reprise on shows like "A Different World" and on a notable Earth Day TV special in 1990. He was a constant presence on TV throughout his career, however, and should be remembered for the breadth and depth of his showbiz career. Warner was one of the main characters on the short-lived drama "Here and Now" in 1992, and he hosted the kids anthology series "CBS Storybreak" in 1993 and 1994. He played The Producer on "The Magic School Bus" from 1994 to 1997. This, while appearing in single episodes of shows like "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "Touched by an Angel.

At just 54, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the man who gave life to one of television’s most iconic sons, has died in a tragedy as sudden as it is sobering. The Emmy-nominated actor drowned while swimming near Cocles Beach in Limón, Costa Rica, on July 20, 2025, during what was meant to be a peaceful family getaway.

According to Costa Rica’s National Police’s statement to ABC News, Warner was caught in a powerful rip current and, despite the valiant efforts of bystanders and emergency responders, he could not be revived. His body was later transferred to the morgue at San Joaquín de Flores for autopsy.

His official cause of death: asphyxia by submersion. Authorities identified him as a tourist traveling with his family.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the actor best known for his role as Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, has died at age 54.

Warner’s extensive career in TV began with a small role on Fame before his breakout success from 1984-1992 on The Cosby Show. He continued to be a familiar face on screen, with recurring and guest roles on popular series like A Different World, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Here and Now, Malcolm & Eddie, Dexter, Community, Sons of Anarchy, American Horror Story, The Resident and, most recently, Alert: Missing Persons Unit. His film credits included Fool’s Gold and Drop Zone.

He was 54.

Costa Rican National Police told ABC News that Warner’s official cause of death was asphyxia. Police said he died near Cocles, a beach in Limon province, after being caught by a high current. He was found Sunday afternoon.

The Associated Press reported that the local police initially reported that Warner “was rescued by people on the beach.” But first responders from Costa Rica’s Red Cross found him without vital signs, and he was taken to the morgue.

Actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who rose to fame with his role as Theodore Huxtable on the classic sitcom The Cosby Show, has died. He was 54 years old.

As first reported by TMZ, Warner died after an apparent drowning. A new report by People adds that the incident happened while Warner was swimming during a family vacation. Other details about what happened, such as where exactly it took place and other circumstances, are not yet clear.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner was born on Aug. 18, 1970. He became a TV star at a young age with his role on The Cosby Show, which ran from 1984 until 1992. For his role as Theodore, the actor earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. Because The Cosby Show was one of the most popular and successful programs of its era, the series also forever made Warner a recognizable star, though he went on to take on dozens of other notable roles in the years since.

Exclusive: New Line has preemptively acquired Cut Outs, an original sci-fi thriller spec by Isaac Louis García.

J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, the duo behind buzzy genre outfit BoulderLight Pictures, are set to produce via their first-look deal with the studio. Plot details are under wraps, but in line with the company’s past work — including the recent sci-fi thriller Companion and their horror thriller breakout Barbarian — you can expect that this will be another fun, fresh, twisty piece of material. Tracy Rosenblum is set to oversee the project for the company.

An alum of the AFI Conservatory, García has worked in multiple writers’ rooms, the most recent being for Duster, the crime thriller series reuniting Lost‘s J.J. Abrams and Josh Hollowya, which premieres on Max May 15. Previously, he’s also been a part of Angelyne at Peacock and Alan Ball’s HBO series Here and Now, placing in...

Richard Pryor’s legendary run is chronicled in the new box set I Hope I’m Funny: The Warner Albums (1974-1983), out now via Rhino.

The 7-lp set features the late comedian’s classic trilogy of 1974’s That N****r’s Crazy, 1975’s Is It Something I Said?, and 1976’s Bicentennial N****r, three consecutive albums that each won him a Grammy for Best Comedy Album.

That N****r’s Crazy, which was recently placed on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 74 Best Albums of 1974, was recorded at Don Cornelius...

“This is a perfect time for Richard Pryor,” says Jennifer Lee Pryor, the late comedian’s widow. “I’m just very excited and happy that we’re getting this out there.”

She’s referring to an ambitious new box set from Rhino, bringing together seven of Pryor’s seminal comedy albums from his years at Warner Records.

Among the reissues on Richard Pryor — I Hope I’m Funny: The Warner Albums (1974-1983) are albums like …Is It Something I Said?, Wanted/Richard Pryor Live in Concert, Live on the Sunset Strip and Here and Now.

Several took Grammy Awards for comedy album of the year.

A fearless and searingly funny supernova of comedy, Pryor changed the face of stand-up by infusing social commentary — on racism, yes, but other societal ills like personal trauma and addiction — into his masterful comedic storytelling.

“There was never one before him and never one after,...

Amy Schumer is back with a new comedy, and she’s got a lot of familiar faces alongside her.

Now streaming on Netflix, “Kinda Pregnant” centers on a woman who has dreamed of settling down and becoming a mom, but life hasn’t had that in the cards for her just yet. So, when her best friend gets pregnant, she kind of spins out.

No list of the most recognisable, memorable and beloved singers of all time can be considered valid without the inclusion of Luther Vandross. So, it’s mildly surprising that it’s taken until now — almost 20 years after his passing — for there to be a definitive documentary about the life and legacy of the soul and R&b legend. Thankfully, veteran documentary filmmaker Dawn Porter is more than up to the task, carving out a celebratory space for us to revel in his timeless music while sensitively illuminating the man behind it.

Helpfully steered by first-person interviews with Vandross’ close friends and collaborators like Fonzi Thornton, Carlos Alomar and Robin Clark, we are first taken on a journey through how Luther learned his craft and refined his style. Cutting his teeth on the likes of Sesame Street — the archival footage Porter utilises here is sensational — coming up with catchy jingles for...

Mike Milligan, an American TV writer and producer whose credits include “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons,” has died. He was 77.

Milligan died of acute respiratory failure in his West Los Angeles home on Dec. 20, according to a PR representative.

Milligan was a celebrated member of the Writers Guild of America for more than 50 years. With his writing partner Jay Moriarty, Milligan wrote and produced hit TV shows such as “Good Times,” “What’s Happening Now,” “Maude,” “Dear John,” “Here and Now” and “Melba.”

Both Milligan and Moriarty received an NAACP Image Award for their writing and producing work on the Emmy-winning sitcom “The Jeffersons.” The show was among the first American sitcoms to tackle topics such as suicide, transgender identity and white supremacy.

In 1992, the pair served as co-writers and executive producers on NBC’s “Here and Now” starring Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Charles Brown, Daryl Mitchell and Rachael Crawford.

Mike Milligan, a writer and producer on hit television shows All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Maude and Dear John, died on Dec. 20. He was 77.

Milligan died from acute respiratory failure at his home in West Hills, California, his rep told The Hollywood Reporter.

Born Bernard Michael Milligan on Jan. 28, 1947, in Los Angeles, he went on to graduate from Loyola Marymount University. He later served in the Air Force.

Milligan eventually found a passion for writing and producing, working alongside his writing partner of 18 years, Jay Moriarty. Together, they wrote and produced several award-winning TV shows, including 49 episodes of Norman Lear’s The Jeffersons (1978-81). The producing pair received an NAACP Image Award for the show, which was among the first to tackle topics such as suicide, transgender identity and white supremacy in American sitcoms.

Mike Milligan, the writer and producer of such award-winning television series including All in the Family, The Jeffersons, Maude and Dear John, died December 20 of acute respiratory failure at his home in West Hills, CA, his reps told Deadline. He was 77.

Milligan, who was a member of the Writers Guild of America for the better part of a century, and his writing partner of 18 years, Jay Moriarty, additionally wrote and produced Good Times, What’s Happening Now, Here and Now and Melba (which he said was “canceled by the network during the commercial break while the pilot aired on CBS”).

As writers and executive producers for Norman Lear’s groundbreaking sitcom The Jeffersons, Milligan and Moriarty received an NAACP Image Award; the show was among the first to tackle such topics as suicide and white supremacy in American comedy programs and was the first-ever TV episode to feature a trans character.

One of TV's most recognizable (and highest-paid) actresses, Sarah Jessica Parker has an unsurprisingly fabulous net worth. Parker started appearing in films in the 1980s, with her first major role being Rusty in Footloose. She continued to work steadily, famously playing the enchanting witch Sarah Sanderson in Disney's 1993 cult classic, Hocus Pocus. But it would be her role as Sex and the City's shoe-obsessed protagonist Carrie Bradshaw that catapulted Parker to the A-list. The wildly successful HBO show spawned two movies, and its sequel series And Just Like That is coming back for season 3.

Parker was born in Nelsonville, Ohio to mother Barbara and father Stephen, and she's the fourth of eight siblings. From an early age, Parker knew she wanted to act, and made her Broadway debut at age 11. Outside of her acting career, Parker dated Robert Downey Jr. from 1984-1991. In 1997, Parker married Matthew Broderick, solidifying them...

Golden Globe Award-winning actor Kevin Bacon has set his next horror movie after starring in the smash-hit A24 slasher MaXXXine, and it's about to be an entire family affair. Bacon, his Emmy Award-winning wife Kyra Sedgwick, and their two adult children, Travis and Sosie Bacon, will star together in a new horror-comedy titled Family Movie.

The talented family will produce this film for Mixed Breed Films in collaboration with Norman Golightly at Dark Castle Entertainment. Dark Castle is best known for being behind other horror movies such as House on Haunted Hill, House of Wax, Orphan and Orphan: First Kill. Besides Family Movie, Dark Castle is currently working on a third Orphan movie.

Neon International will handle the foreign rights and present the horror-comedy at the American Film Market this week, while CAA Media Finance will manage the U.S. rights. Besides producing and starring in the movie, Bacon and Sedgwick will also direct.

Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon are taking the title of their next film to heart. They’re set to direct the horror-comedy project “Family Movie” and star alongside their children, Travis and Sosie Bacon.

The foursome will produce for Mixed Breed Films alongside Norman Golightly at Dark Castle Entertainment. Neon International will represent the foreign rights and introduce it at AFM this week while CAA Media Finance will represent the U.S. rights.

The film, based on a screenplay by Dan Beers (“Premature”), follows an eclectic but tight-knit family of filmmakers who suddenly find themselves in a real-life horror movie when a body turns up on the set of their latest low-budget slasher. As the production spirals comically out of control, they realize the only solution to keep filming is to cover up the murder, by any means necessary.

“There may not be a more compelling Hollywood family than the Bacons,...

Luther Vandross passed away in 2005, but unreleased music from the R&b icon was made available Friday — a cover of The Beatles’ ‘60s hit “Michelle.”

Vandross’ close friend and vocal collaborator, Fonzi Thornton, discovered the tape following the singer’s death when he visited his family to look through his music archives, unseen videos, cassette tapes, personal effects, stage costumes and more. He then moved the archives to a room in his apartment for safekeeping.

“I found two cassettes labeled ‘Michelle’ in his handwriting — [I had] no idea what it was [and then I] played it! I realized it was a beautiful rendition of the Beatles classic that had been vocally and musically Lutherized,” Thornton tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I played Luther’s version for Jeff James, A&r at Sony and Dave Gottlieb, manager of the Vandross Estate, and we agreed it was such a find. We decided to save it until the right time — which is now.

“Severance” co-executive producer and writer Mohamad El Masri is channeling the Innie/Outie duality for his critically acclaimed directorial debut “Other Other.”

The 25-minute YouTube short film stars Sosie Bacon and Scoot McNairy as a couple who live parallel lives…literally. Myka (Bacon) and Spyro (McNairy) have been dating online for a year before they decide to meet in person for the first time — only to realize that they live in alternate worlds and can’t actually be together. More sci-fi than “The Lake House,” “Other Other” was recently named the Short of the Week, and writer/director El Masri credited his “indie film hustle” for getting the short off the ground.

“I’d worked with Sosie Bacon on a TV series, ‘Here and Now’ on HBO, that lasted for one season. I met Sosie working there as a writer. I sort of kept track of her career as it grew,...

We recently got the chance to talk to filmmaker Mohamad El Masri, who's worked as a writer on shows like Here & Now and October Faction. He's also writing on the second season of Severance, the bracing sci-fi drama on Apple TV+ that's returning after nearly three long years off the air. He told us about that experience, but first, we talked about his short film Other Other.

Other Other is about an unlikely romance between Spyro and Myka. The two of them are dating online, their romance confined mostly to screens. Another issue: they're from different dimensions. Other Other is a story about online dating in the multiverse.

How do they handle that situation? Check out Other Other above, and then read our interview with El Masri!

Viewers were drawn not only to the intricate investigations but also by the evolving personal lives and relationships of the main characters. Though the series ended six years ago, with the characters’ stories wrapping up on a satisfying note, it’s intriguing to explore what the actors have been up to since leaving the Jeffersonian.

Based on Patricia Cornwell’s best-selling book series, Scarpetta follows Kay Scarpetta (Kidman), Chief Medical Examiner, as she returns to Virginia and resumes her former position with complex relationships, both personal and professional – including her sister Dorothy (Curtis), with plenty of grudges and secrets to uncover.

When a fan-favorite character leaves Grey's Anatomy, it feels like a stab to the heart. When it comes to medical dramas, Greys Anatomy is a household name and one of the few television series to elevate the genre. Fans have been watching Meredith Grey and the entire cast for the past 20 seasons, but it hasnt been without its fair share of losses. Several beloved characters left the long-running drama, some recently and some quite early.

Its safe to say that when a series runs as long as Greys Anatomy has, it tends to saturate the actors, and there comes a point when a character has reached the end of the line. Besides several major actors taking a bow for playing the character for too long, some Greys Anatomy stars had controversial exits that are still topics of discussion among fans.

Elliot Page criticized Canada’s rollback of LGBTQ rights on the stage of the Juno Awards in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Sunday night.

“We are at a time in history where the rights of LGBTQ2+ people are being revoked, restricted and eliminated throughout the world, and the effects are devastating,” Page, a transgender Halifax native, said in a speech presenting twin singer-songwriters Tegan and Sara with the Junos’ humanitarian award. Page praised the work of the Tegan and Sara Foundation for 2Slgbtq+ youth, supporting health care services to youth programs. Earlier in the week, he said at BFI Flare, London’s LGBTQ film festival, that “30% of young people identify as LGBTQ,” referring to a survey released earlier this year about Gen Z adults in the U.S. “So I’m sorry, but this is not niche.”

“If the world was not so hostile to LGBTQ2+ people, we would see ourselves purely as musicians,...

Exclusive: Alex Moffat (Saturday Night Live), Joel David Moore (Avatar franchise), Lizze Broadway (Gen V), Urzila Carlson (upcoming Ozi: Voice of the Forest), and Francis Benhamou (Arranged) are the final additions to the cast of Netflix and Happy Madison’s rom-com Kinda Pregnant, starring Amy Schumer.

Details as to their roles are under wraps. Directed by Tyler Spindel (The Out-Laws), the film’s ensemble also includes Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr., Brianne Howey, and Chris Geere, as we were first to report.

In the film written by Julie Paiva, we follow Lainy (Schumer), who given jealousy over her best friend’s pregnancy, begins wearing a fake baby bump… then accidentally meeting the man of her dreams. In addition to Schumer, producers on the project include Adam Sandler, Tim Herlihy, Judit Maull, Kevin Grady and Eli Thomas for Happy Madison, Molly Sims for Something Happy Productions, and Alex Saks for Saks Picture Company.

When American soul and R&b icon Luther Vandross sang, he didn’t just produce beautiful musical sounds. He caressed and coddled each note with his famously velvety tenor voice, considering where to linger, when to whisper, or to gradually crescendo with an impeccable and ever-influential technique. In other words, he didn’t only sing, but created something ethereal, something that both pushed the form and felt like it gently poured straight out of his soul.

Considering the stamp he put on the American music industry, it feels strange that there hasn’t yet been a definitive documentary about Vandross’ unsung legacy until Dawn Porter’s “Luther: Never Too Much,” which had its world premiere recently at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. But that delay is perhaps fortuitous — after experiencing Porter’s loving portrait of the virtuosic musician, producer, and songwriter, you can’t imagine Vandross’ story being told by anyone else.

And she would end every episode encouraging her viewers to “Be kind to one another.” It was a mantra that would be tied to her for almost 20 years…but now rumors and allegations of a toxic work environment have shaken up the friendly foundation of Ellen D.

Quantum Leap is returning for season 2 on October 4. The show takes place years after the disappearance of Samuel Beckett and follows Ben Song's time-traveling adventures. The second season will have a larger scope, emotionally and with the characters involved, focusing more on investing in the story and characters rather than the mechanics and mythology of the show. Ben's relationship with Addison becomes more complicated as they uncover new aspects of their relationship and must find an emotional journey back to each other now that all the memories are back.

After a finale that left fans on the edge of their seats, Quantum Leap will make its grand return to NBC on Monday, October 4th. The show is based on the 1989 series of the same name and picks up years after the disappearance of Samuel Beckett. Season 1 of the reboot follows Ben Song as he leaps from body to body...

Since Vought International is probably behind the supes school at the center of The Boys spinoff Gen V, it should come as no surprise that sinister things are happening behind the scenes of the institution in a newly released trailer for the series.

While one character warns of evil people at the school, the students band together and show off their powers, even as they struggle with the fact that they’re “all f–ked up.”

Adapted from the 2015 novel by Katherine Center, Netflix’s “Happiness for Beginners” largely takes place in the wilderness, where different kinds of people are forced to bond while braving the elements as they hike the Appalachian Trail. Led by “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and “The Office” alum Ellie Kemper, the gaggle of goofballs provides laughs of all kinds as well as some heartfelt moments.

Zealous camp guide Bennett (Ben Cook) keeps everything interesting, especially when he scolds Helen (Kemper) for her careless mistakes on the hike and praises Jake (Luke Grimes) for all of his perfect moves in setting up and taking down camp. Nico Santos and Gus Birney even more humor to this romantic comedy story.

Here’s who plays who in “Happiness for Beginners”:

Helen (Ellie Kemper)

Ellie Kemper portrays Helen, who wants to start over after she divorces her husband. She experienced infidelity and a miscarriage during their marriage.
