Britney Spears’ fiancé auditioned for a role on the “Sex and the City” reboot — but he wasn’t so lucky . Sam Asghari, 27, took to Instagram Thursday to reveal he was rejected for a minor role in the fifth episode of the new series, “And Just Like That.” The aspiring actor — who has been dating Spears since 2016 and got engaged in September — wanted to play Carrie Bradshaw’s physical therapist, Travis, but says he was ultimately passed over by casting directors.

Patton Oswalt's Parks and Rec Filibuster Scene Predicted Book of Boba Fett - Collider

When it comes to predicting the future, everyone usually points to The Simpsons as the typical television Nostradamus, since it nailed Donald Trump's presidency among many other things. This time, though, it's Parks and Recreation , which contains a near-perfect vision of the future, predicting Disney's latest show The Book of Boba Fett , and specifically how the titular character survives after the events of Return of the Jedi . Patton Oswalt 's Garth Blunden acts as the seer here, as he recites verbatim the beginning of the series. For context, in the first episode of The Book of Boba Fett , we see flashbacks of the bounty hunter inside the stomach of the Sarlacc after he was presumed dead in the original trilogy. He's able to cut himself out of the creature and dig himself up and out of the sand. The scene in question pans down from the sky, showing the sand for a brief moment before Boba Fett's gloved hand pops out of the sand and he lifts himself up. It...

Netflix, ‘Tiger King’ Producers Sued Over Unauthorized Use of ‘Ace Ventura 2’ Clips - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Morgan Creek Productions has sued Netflix and the producers of Tiger King for copyright infringement over the use of Ace Ventura 2 clips in the hit reality series. The show, which became a hit upon its release in March 2020, focused on Joseph Maldonado Passage, aka “Joe Exotic,” owner of a “big cat” zoo. “The series was filled with sordid tales of animal abuse, voluminous guns and a quixotic bid for the U.S. presidency,” the lawsuit against Netflix and Goode Films reads. “Most significantly, the program followed a murder-for-hire plot aimed at a competing animal sanctuary owner, hated by Joe Exotic, and seen as a threat to his ‘big cat’ empire.” 
That person was Carole Baskin, and Joe Exotic is currently serving a 22-year prison sentence. Related Stories The lawsuit claims that the show used two clips of Ace Venture 2 featuring star Jim Carrey “without permission or license.” One such clip featured Carrey with a “monkey wrapped around his neck and shoulder” and another “triu...

This pop star is still protesting.  Britney Spears explained in a Monday Instagram post that her extended music hiatus is a “f—k you” to her estranged family.  “Not doing music anymore is my way of saying ‘F–k You’ in a sense when it only actually benefits my family by ignoring my real work,” she wrote in a post that also touted the power of prayer in times of distress.  “It’s like I’ve subconsciously let them win.”  Elsewhere, the “Toxic” singer, 40, reiterated her aggravation at seeing her younger sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, perform a remix to her 2011 single “Till the World Ends” at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards. (Britney was presented with the Icon award that year, followed by a medley performance by Jamie Lynn, 30, Hailee Steinfeld, Sofia Carson and Kelsea Ballerini.) “It didn’t make sense how network television shows are showcasing my music with remixes of all of my music … yet the person who owns the music is told no!!!!” Britney wrote. “They even g...
