In light of the recent legal drama between Michael Oher and the Tuohy family, a 2017 episode of Below Deck featuring Sean Tuohy and Leigh Anne Tuohy in which Sean claims he required script approval for the film The Blind Side has resurfaced on TikTok.
In the clip from user @itsabigailadams, patriarch Sean is discussing how the team behind The Blind Side movie gained the rights to use the Tuohy family’s name.
“The writer of the book, he and I went to school together since we were five years old,” Sean says, referencing writing Michael Lewis, who penned the book that the movie was adapted from. “So I get a call — Steven Spielberg, Harvey Weinstein — I had to give them the rights to use our name, and I said, ‘I’ll give you the rights if I get to read the script and approve it or un-approve it.’ So, sure enough,...

It’s hard out there for a right-wing drag queen.
When a 6’2”, 190 pound man entered the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center outside Washington, D.C. — decked out in a fabulous blond wig, a crown of flowers, and a floor-length red-white-and-blue dress — he was not there to protest the Conservative Political Action Conference.
A blue sash proclaimed the name of Ryan Woods’ drag persona in sparkly letters: “Lady Maga USA.” The floor-length ensemble, he’d explain, was an homage to Abigail Adams, Marie Antoinette and Scarlett O’Hara. The dress was festooned with yellow ribbons,...

Michelle Pfeiffer (‘The First Lady’) would be 2nd actress to win Golden Globe for playing Betty Ford
A full decade after the conclusion of Gerald Ford’s presidency, Gena Rowlands starred in a 1987 ABC biopic centered around his wife, simply titled “The Betty Ford Story.” The telefilm offered an honest look into the former first lady’s struggles with prescription drug and alcohol addiction, and Rowlands’s committed performance brought her a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe. Now, there is a chance of history being made if Michelle Pfeiffer ends up also clinching a Golden Globe for her own take on Betty Ford in “The First Lady.”
The Showtime limited series, which aired all 10 of its episodes this spring, follows the lives of three U.S. presidential spouses, with the other two being Eleanor Roosevelt (Gillian Anderson) and Michelle Obama (Viola Davis). According to Gold Derby’s predictions, Pfeiffer has the best shot of the three at making it into the 2023 Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress Golden Globe lineup.

Excellent performers can shine and be recognized in many mediums. This is proven again by the fact that twenty-three of this year’s Emmy nominees have received Tony Award nominations in the past and nine of those nominated actors have won Tony Awards.
“Succession” is the series most predicted to win the Outstanding Drama Emmy again this year. Four of the Emmy nominees for their guest roles in “Succession” were also Tony Award nominees in the past: Dame Harriet Walter, Sanaa Latham, Arian Moayad, and Hope Davis.
Dame Harriet’s 2009 Tony nomination was for Best Actress in the play “Mary Stuart,” playing Queen Elizabeth I of England. Sanaa’s Best Featured Actress Tony nomination was in 2004 for a revival of “A Raisin in The Sun,” starring Sean Combs. Arian’s Tony nomination was in 2011 for “Benghal Tiger at The Baghdad Zoo,” starring Robin Williams, and Hope Davis was up in 2009 for “God of Carnage,...

The Broadway-bound revival of the musical 1776, which begins a pre-New York engagement at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Ma, next month, has announced a cast comprised fully of performers who identify as female, non-binary and trans.
The cast announced Friday was specifically for the A.R.T. production and might not necessarily carry over to the staging at Roundabout’s American Airlines Theatre on Broadway in September (or a U.S. tour set to launch in February 2023), but the news provides a clear indication of the production’s reimagined, groundbreaking approach.
First staged on Broadway in 1969, the musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence — and the so-called Founding Fathers — features music and lyrics by Sherman Edwards and a book by Peter Stone, based on a concept by Edwards. A film version was released in 1972.
The new staging will be co-directed by Jeffrey L. Page and Diane Paulus (with...

Hamilton will debut on Disney+ on July 3rd, the start of a long holiday weekend. The Walt Disney Company paid good money for the Broadway phenomenon, a reported $75 million for the rights to the film, which features performances by the original cast (we wrote a primer on the cast and where they are now).
If you’re healthily avoiding crowds and already had your fill of fireworks, here are 10 more movies and TV shows that explore the American Revolution from different angles.
1776 (1972)
Making the Founding Fathers sing was truly revolutionary when Sherman Edwards’s musical debuted on Broadway in 1969. The plot traced how the Second Continental Congress decided on independence; there are lots of fun character moments but really no other story. After the show won the Tony for Best Musical, Hollywood mogul Jack Warner hired most of the cast and director Peter Hunt to make a movie. Then...

Fresh off her 2019 Best Actress Oscar win for “The Favourite,” Olivia Colman has looked like a strong Emmy contender for Best Drama Actress for taking over the role of Queen Elizabeth II in “The Crown.” But the crime drama “Ozark” has been on the rise ever since it premiered its third season this spring. And now Laura Linney has moved out front in the predictions of our Top 24 Users, who got the highest scores forecasting last year’s Emmys. Are they right?
As of this writing 11 of our Top 24 are betting on Linney to prevail, compared to 10 who are still on Team Colman. If Linney were to win it would extend her remarkable streak. She has won four times in her career thus far, one for every role she has been nominated for. She collected trophies as Iris Bravard in the telefilm “Wild Iris” in 2002, as Charlotte in a guest...

While the overwhelming majority of Gold Derby’s Emmy Experts from major media outlets predict Sandra Oh (“Killing Eve”) will win Best Drama Actress, two pundits are going rogue. Both Nikki Novak (Fandango) and Lynette Rice (Ent. Weekly) instead believe Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) will ride Daenerys Targaryen’s dragon up to the podium on September 22. It’s the HBO actress’ first lead Emmy nomination after previously receiving three supporting bids.
Clarke, who’s just been announced as an Emmy presenter, notably faces off against Oh and Jodie Comer from “Killing Eve,” which has many awards watchers wondering if a vote-split could be on the horizon. If “Killing Eve” fans can’t decide between who to vote for, then a third contender like Clarke could benefit from the lack of consensus and pull off a shocker on Emmy night.
