HOLLYWOOD -- Anna Baryshnikov, the 34-year-old daughter of ballet/movie star Mikhail Baryshnikov and American dancer/video journalist Lisa Rinehart, has her own budding career. She starred in the psychological thriller "Sender," co-starring Jamie Lee Curtis, which screened at SXSW in March. She followed this up with the dark rom-com "The Drama" co-starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, which came and went in April.
Next, she'll co-star with Mira Sorvino, Lisa Kudrow, Alan Cumming, and Keegan-Michael Key in "Romy and Michele 2," which is due in 2027. The original 1997 film cost $20 million but only grossed $29.2 million.

Spider-Man Tom Holland and Zendaya allegedly tied the knot just before the end of this past year. They've both been working nonstop together in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "The Odyssey," in addition to Zendaya filming "Dune: Part Three" and "Shrek 5."
"The Odyssey" has already grossed more than $1 billion, but "Brand New Day" accomplished this during the first weekend that it hit big screens. Writers are already fashioning the script for "Spider-Man 5," while the newlyweds take a much-needed planned break. However, Holland's been telling the press that he'll keep doing "Spider-Man" movies for as long as they'll have him!

Jaafar Jackson, who blew everyone away as Michael Jackson (to the tune of $1 billion), is set to star with "Bad Boy" (and famous slapper) Will Smith and AnnaSophia Robb in Amazon MGM Studios' "Supermax." In the film, Smith and Robb try to solve a seemingly impossible murder in a maximum security prison.

Everyone wondered what's holding up the "Barbie" sequel, since "Barbie" took in more than $1 billion in 2023! Turns out the holdup was Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, and director Greta Gerwig, who aren't happy with the profit sharing that Warner Bros. is offering on their take of profits. However, Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav believes that their deal's too generous. (Someone's getting greedy!) But Warner Bros. has a gun to their head because they only have until December to reach a deal with the stars and director before the film rights revert back to Mattel. Then it becomes anyone's game!

Hallmark fans mustn't care about the price of gas because they've ponied up between $700 (for the cheapest package) and $1,800 (for the primo package) to attend Hallmark's inaugural Christmas Experience live events in Kansas City, Missouri. It's happening over four weekends between Nov. 27 and Dec. 20.
In addition, attendees purchased tickets for "Stars on Stage" panels with Hallmark actors, "Create and Learn" workshops with artists, and themed dining experiences. Among the Hallmark stars appearing are Jonathan Bennett, Andrew Walker, Lacey Chabert and Tyler Hynes.
Before you reach for your credit card, it sold out the first week that it was announced. What expensive "Season's Greetings!"
