Spin up some margaritas and call over your gals, “Sweet Magnolias” Season 3 is here.

Raised together in the idyllic yet gossip-hungry town of Serenity, the trio has been through it all, together. The series follows the stories of the Sweet Magnolias and their families, from the messy first loves and heartbreaks of their kids at Serenity High School to the (even messier) adult trials of romance, parenting and pursuing your dreams.
If you’re wondering who’s who in “Sweet Magnolias,” or who plays them, here’s a handy guide to the residents of Serenity and their tangled family ties.

Last month, we learned that Lionsgate is funding a horror film based on the novel Creepers (pick up a copy Here) by First Blood author David Morrell. At the time, it was said that Skylan Brooks (The Darkest Minds) would be one of the film’s cast members – but Deadline reports that Brooks is no longer involved with the project. Taking over the role he was going to play is Shane Paul McGhie, who is best known for playing the role of Landon in After and After We Collided. (McGhie then passed the role over to Chance Perdomo for After We Fell.)
Creepers tells the story of
a group of young urban explorers who plan to investigate an old, boarded up, seemingly abandoned hotel, only to encounter danger at every turn in the form of a competing group of hostile urban explorers seeking to find a legendary hidden treasure as...

Mac Davis, the singer-songwriter who parlayed pop and country hits into a network TV variety show and acting career, has died. He was 78.
His manager of nearly four decades, Jim Morey, announced Davis’ death on Facebook Tuesday night. “He was a music legend but his most important work was that as a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend,” Morey wrote. “I will miss laughing about our many adventures on the road and his insightful sense of humor.” The Country Music Association later confirmed the news.
Country superstar Kenny Chesney offered his tribute to Davis, saying, “I met Mac as a young artist just starting out on my journey, when he was already a legend and a songwriting hero to me. He welcomed me into his home, and turned that tremendous creative light on me. Even though he’d written ‘In The Ghetto’ for Elvis and had so many incredible hits of his own,...

It’s no surprise that politics took center stage at this year’s GLAAD Media Awards.
While Rachel Maddow accepted her award for outstanding TV journalism segment for her interview with Pete Buttigeig on “The Rachel Maddow Show,“ she said, “We are at a point where an openly gay TV host can accept an award for an interview with an openly gay major presidential candidate. Progress in this country is very rarely linear, and it barely happens on its own. If you are at all inspired by the progress you see, please vote, organize, run for office, and if you’re enraged by the regression that you see, please vote, organize and run for office.”

The 2020 Emmy nominations were announced on July 28 after an uncertain year marred by the Covid-19 pandemic. Such unprecedented times yielded some unprecedented results when the nominations were announced. We predicted 24 categories, and there were 45 nominees we didn’t see coming (an average of 1.875 surprise nominees per category). Out of those, 21 were such underdogs they got 100/1 odds according to the combined predictions of thousands of our users. Scroll down to see all of those surprises, and check out the complete list of nominations here.
Perhaps the biggest surprise on nominations morning was just how well “The Mandalorian” did. The Disney+ flagship series received 15 nominations, including Best Drama Series, Best Character Voice-Over Performance for Taika Waititi and Best Drama Guest Actor for Giancarlo Esposito. That makes it the most nominated show from a brand new streaming service, though Apple TV+ managed eight nominations of its own for “The Morning Show.”

“We should all walk humbly through this life, but if there’s ever been anyone who deserves a ‘thank you’ or pat-on-the-back, it’s Dolly Parton,” declares Sam Haskell, executive producer of the Netflix anthology series “Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings.” In our recent webchat (watch the exclusive video above), he adds, “She is an international icon beloved by the world because she loves the world back.”

The Paley Center will soon be vacating its Beverly Hills digs, four years sooner than planned. The bicoastal org, which also maintains a headquarters building in New York, confirmed to Variety that it will move out of its Beverly Hills location in mid-2020.
The Paley Center has occupied the location since 1995, when it opened a new building designed by L.A. architect Richard Meier on the property — located on Beverly Drive at South Santa Monica Boulevard.
But Paley doesn’t actually own the land where its building sits. A group of seven trusts, dating back to families that purchased the property in the 1920s, had leased it to Bank of America, which in turn subleased it to the Paley Center (then known as the Museum of Television and Radio) in 1995. In 2008, the Paley Center extended the term of its lease until Feb. 28, 2024.
In 2014, New York real estate investment firm Jenel Management Corp.
