Mary-Kate Olsen says she, Ashley Olsen are discreet people in rare interview – Fox News

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are opening up. The famous twins, now 35, have lived in the spotlight since they starred in "Full House" as toddlers. Since then, they've slipped out of Hollywood and into the realm of fashion, but they've also done their best to avoid speaking publicly. The duo recently offered up a rare interview to i-D magazine meant to coincide with the 15th anniversary of their fashion brand, The Row. "We were raised to be discreet people," Mary-Kate said when asked about her brand's modest designs.

But that doesn’t mean that we don’t also appreciate something truly ornate or maximal...

Michael Costello shares unhealed trauma, says he had suicidal thoughts after alleged Chrissy Teigen bullying – Fox News

Fashion designer Michael Costello is detailing what he says is an "unhealed trauma" personally and professionally that was allegedly brought on by years of bullying and underhanded moves to derail his career behind the scenes from Chrissy Teigen. The "Project Runway" star, after days of mulling over whether he would even come forward, chose to speak his truth on Monday and didn’t hold back in revealing the lengths the former swimsuit model has allegedly been willing to go to since 2014 in order to kill his career following a social media misunderstanding that seemingly was faked to make Costello appear racist but was later proven to be nothing more than a set of photoshopped images from a disgruntled employee. "I didn’t share this with anyone because I was living in fear. In fear of lo...

With Superman, Ned Beatty delivered superhero movies’ best lackey – The A.V. Club

Ned Beatty and Gene Hackman in SupermanScreenshot: HBO Max Before they were the only type of film, superhero movies were for kids. They were swashbuckling adventures with rousing scores and broad characters. They were Richard Donner’s Superman. The first superhero movie, Superman was a sign of things to come, a box office powerhouse that charmed audiences and critics. And Superman wouldn’t be Superman without Otis, Lex Luthor’s bumbling, incompetent henchman that late actor Ned Beatty aimed straight at the children in the audience. With pitch-perfect physical comedy and warmth that radiates from the screen, Beatty turned the thankless role into something memorable. Beatty’s Otis was broader than broad. He dressed in grey and tan suits with vivid tiny ties and a straw boater hat that ...

Lin-Manuel Miranda Joins Jon Chu In Addressing ‘In The Heights’ Lack Of Afro Latinx Representation: “I Promise To Do Better” – Deadline

After director Jon Chu responded to the lack of Afro-Latinx representation in his feature musical In the Heights, the film’s composer/ lyricist/producer and co-scribe and star Lin-Manuel Miranda has weighed in with a public apology on social media. “I’m seeing the discussion around Afro-Latinx representation in our film this weekend and it is clear that many in our dark-skinned Afro-Latinx community don’t feel sufficiently represented within it, particularly among the leading roles,” writes the 3x Tony-winning Broadway musical architect. “I hear that without sufficient dark-skinned Afro-Latinx representation, the work feels extractive of the community we wanted so much to represent with pride and joy,” he continued.
