The costume designer for A Cinderella Story initially planned a dress that resembled the one in the original Disney cartoon. However, the colorful design didn't work well on screen and was replaced with a classic, white wedding-like gown. Hilary Duff's dress at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar party reminded fans of Sam's dress, creating nostalgia for the movie and praising Duff's princess-like appearance.
The Hilary Duff classic, A Cinderella Story, features a dress that could have been completely different. A Cinderella Story is a romantic teen comedy starring Hilary Duff that released in 2004. The film is an adaptation of the classic Cinderella fairytale, with Duff playing the titular stand-in, in this version, named Sam. Set in modern-day Los Angeles, Sam works at a diner for her evil stepmother and stepsisters. When she attends the masquerade school Halloween dance, Sam ends up meeting her Prince Charming, quarterback and king of the school,...

Call it what you want, but Taylor Swift has extended her pop culture dominance into 2024 in a big way. Her attendance at the AFC Championship playoff game Sunday combined with the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory and path to the Super Bowl has sparked several Swiftie investigations into all of the coincidental Easter eggs, creating a whole new code for the big game.
From the sheer amount of hidden 13s present in all the facts about the 58th Super Bowl to the way Swift has coded colors to go along with her extensive catalog, the Swiftie conspiracy theories are endless.
Late-night host Stephen Colbert and other social media personalities recounted all of the math involved in the various sets of numbers relevant to Super Bowl Lviii:
Lviii = 58, 5+8 = 13 The Kansas City Chiefs will play the San Francisco 49ers, 4+9 = 13 The big game is on February 11, or 2/11, and, you guessed it, 2+11 = 13 The Super Bowl...

Rumors of a fifth American Pie movie have persisted since 2012, with the potential for a storyline centered around Jim's dad and Stifler's mom. Jennifer Coolidge's recent comeback, thanks to her role in The White Lotus, makes a Stifler's mom story in American Pie 5 even more appealing.
American Pie 5 has been rumored to be in development for years, and the best idea for it is now perfect thanks to the big comeback of one of its cast members. In 1999, the sex comedy American Pie made way for one of the most controversial yet profitable franchises in the comedy genre. American Pie introduced viewers to Jim Levenstein (Jason Biggs), an awkward high school senior who made a pact with his friends to lose their virginity by high school graduation. American Pie’s success made way for a franchise with spin-offs and three sequels, the latter continuing Jim’s story.

The most famous Y2K movies often focus on a high school setting or, alternatively, an apocalyptic scenario. High school movies of the Y2K era typically have happy endings and feature themes of reconciliation and personal growth. Y2K movies often rely on practical elements like fashion, music, and staging to create excitement and hype.
The most iconic movies of the Y2K era focus on either one of the contrasting genres of high school drama or an apocalyptic scenario, with some rom-coms and self-discovery plots also appearing. In the early 2000s, stars including Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff were making their most famous movies, in which they dressed in the era's most popular fashion trends. CGI technology was limited, so action sequences were more reliant on more practical elements to hype up the stars, including leather and sunglasses ensembles, heavy metal and rock music, and strategic staging.

No stories are new. There are a finite number of basic plots, but more than that, retelling the same stories with small twists is commonplace. From legends to fairytales, the same general stories are often taken and rebuilt into slightly different versions. While many classic fairytales exist, none are more recognizable than Cinderella. For hundreds of years, different versions of the story have been told in various cultures and languages, yet the world hasn't tired of it. The basic story of a girl meeting and falling for a prince and disappearing without giving her name, only for him to find her later, has been remade countless times as musicals, modern retellings, more reality-based renditions, parodies, and everything in between. There's Disney's 1950 Cinderella, their 2015 remake by the same name, the iconic 1997 version starring Brandy and Whitney Houston, Ella Enchanted, A Cinderella Story, Another Cinderella Story, Amazon's Cinderella, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella...

Over the many decades of cinema, we have seen numerous movies based on the classic fairy tale of Cinderella. Originally created by Italian writer Giambattista Basile in 1634, the story we are most familiar with comes from French writer Charles Perrault in 1697, which is where the original 1950 animated Disney film drew much of its inspiration from. Since the original animated Disney film, it's become increasingly difficult to count the number of Cinderella movies we've been treated too. Take the live-action Disney film, A Cinderella Story, starring Hilary Duff and Jennifer Coolidge, and the 1998 romance, Ever After, starring Drew Barrymore, as a few examples.
However, among the best is the 1997 made-for-television fantasy musical Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Starring the likes of Brandy Norwood and Whitney Houston, this Cinderella adaptation is a beloved classic. It sports immersive set and costume design, despite its made-for-tv budget, as well as many memorable songs. After watching the film,...

It’s a lean month for new original content on HBO/Max. November will see the return of two scripted series in Julia and Rap Sh!t, both of which are debuting their respective second seasons, but this month’s fresh highlight is likely to be Bookie, a new comedy series from the partnership of The Big Bang Theory creator Chuck Lorre, and Nick Bakay. The show tracks an LA bookie called Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco), whose business is in peril as California movies to legalize sports gambling.
Elsewhere in November, there quite a few interesting documentaries to keep an eye on, and two that jump out as “must watch”. The first is Albert Brooks: Defending My Life, which chronicles the aging comedian’s life and career. The second is the previously-released Little Richard: I Am Everything, which tries to peel back the whitewashed canon of Richard Penniman in a true...

A Cinderella Story utilized beautiful filming locations to tell its fairytale-inspired story, including a Tudor-style home, castle-like lobby, and cottage-esque house. A Cinderella Story's diner scenes were filmed at George's 50's Diner in Long Beach, California, with a pink renovation by Sam's step-mother. The high school scenes, including the iconic rain kiss, were shot at Monrovia High School in Monrovia, California. Andy’s Car Wash scenes were filmed at Jerzy Boy'z Car Wash in San Pedro, California.

Hilary Duff was only 15 years old when she filmed the iconic rom-com A Cinderella Story, despite her character being 17 years old and a high school junior. The follow-up movies in the A Cinderella Story series did not feature Hilary Duff, opting instead for standalone projects with different actors in the Cinderella role. While there are now a total of six films in the A Cinderella Story series, the original film remains the most successful and beloved among fans.
One of the quintessential 2000s romantic comedies is A Cinderella Story, starring Hilary Duff, one of the quintessential teen stars in the early aughts. Duff rose to fame when she landed the role of the titular character in the Disney Channel series Lizzie McGuire, which aired from 2001 to 2004. Following the conclusion of the television show, Duff focused on movies, starting with the Warner Bros. Pictures film, which is a modern-day adaptation of the classic Cinderella fairytale.

In a world built just for them, director Emma Seligman and actor Rachel Sennot teamed up to write this summer’s runaway breakout hit Bottoms. After collaborating on Seligman’s debut film, Shiva Baby, the creative duo returned to the big screen with a bigger budget and bigger, more outlandish jokes. It’s a satire for the ages, filled with car explosions, a mascot penis, and a lot of punches to the face.
The raunchy teen comedy follows Josie (Ayo Edebiri) and Pj (Sennot) as they create a self-defense fight club in order to attract the far more popular, far more beautiful cheerleader princesses away from their ditsy football boyfriends. In a struggle against their school’s heteronormative ways, Josie and Pj accidentally foster a safe space for outcasts, where the unheard have a place to speak up and the unseen have a chance to save the football team.

Hollywood star Jennifer Coolidge says she makes “a lot of mistakes” in life. The actress found fame when she was cast as Stifler’s Mom in the 1999 coming-of-age comedy ‘American Pie’ before going on to star opposite Reese Witherspoon in ‘Legally Blonde’ and alongside Hilary Duff in ‘A Cinderella Story’ but started to ‘pursue guys’ rather than drive her career forward at that time, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“Now that I’m old enough to really look back at my life and certainly my mistakes, I see a lot of those. But I never had any strategy. I just went job to job. I have to say I made the terrible mistake of not riding the wave that I had early on,” she told Variety.

Both in their mid-thirties, Hilary Duff and Josh Peck are learning how to balance their acting careers with parenthood. However, just two decades ago, the pair were both trying to navigate their complex lives as young actors. While their lives share many parallels, Peck has made it clear that he and Duff are very different kinds of child stars for one specific reason.
Josh Peck and Hilary Duff had different experiences as child stars
In the early 2000s, Josh Peck and Hilary Duff were teens thrust into stardom. While the two were both child actors in the late 1990s, they both were able to rise to prominence after landing leading roles on hit kid’s sitcoms. For Peck, his big break came after landing a starring role on the Nickelodeon teen sitcom Drake & Josh. Peck portrayed the lovable Josh Nichols, from 2004 to 2007, alongside his on-screen step-brother Drake Parker, played by Drake Bell.

For young people coming of age in the early 2000s, Hilary Duff is a true pop culture icon. She rose to prominence on the Disney Channel, playing the title character in the beloved series Lizzie McGuire. And she also began a music career.
These days, Duff is still a hardworking actor. Her new series, How I Met Your Father, has earned critical acclaim. While she has always been popular, she hasn’t always received support. In a recent interview with Josh Peck, Duff admitted that Disney didn’t fully support her in her ambitions of becoming a singer.

Winner of an Emmy, Critics Choice Award, a Golden Globe and now a Pudding Pot, is there anything Jennifer Coolidge can’t do?
On February 4, 2023, Coolidge will lead a parade through Harvard Square before settling down for a roast in her honor by the Hasty Pudding Theatricals. Then Coolidge will be presented with her very own Pudding Pot, after which there will be a press conference. Following all of that will be the opening night of the production “Cosmic Relief.”
The Hasty Pudding Club was founded in 1795 in a rebellion against Harvard’s poor meals offered to students. The club changed throughout the years, such as in 1801 when the rules stated there must be two roasts of members at each meeting, in 1844 with the birth of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals, in 1889 with the first production of “Cosmic Relief” and in 1951 with the creation of the Woman of the Year award.

Legally Blonde 3 could not happen without the participation of one returning star, affirms Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon originated the role of Elle Woods in 2002's Legally Blonde, an adaptation of the Amanda Brown novel of the same name, which was followed by 2003's Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, the spinoff Legally Blondes, and a Broadway musical adaptation. The hotly anticipated Legally Blonde 3 was announced in 2018, but the pandemic shutting down theaters and the 2020 revelation that the script was being retooled by Mindy Kaling and Dan Goor have caused significant delays.
Entertainment Tonight had the opportunity to speak to Witherspoon at the premiere of her new Netflix rom-com Your Place or Mine. When asked about a report that original actor Jennifer Coolidge hadn't been contacted about returning for Legally Blonde 3, Witherspoon praised Coolidge's recent work. She went on to say that "there is no Legally Blonde 3 without Jennifer Coolidge.

Rupert Grint has said that it became “suffocating” starring in the Harry Potter film franchise.
The actor, 34, played Harry’s friend Ron Weasley in the eight fantasy films between 2001 and 2011.
Speaking to Bustle, Grint said: “Potter was so full on — [filming] all year, then we’d promote the rest of the time. It was quite suffocating.
“I wanted a break, to reflect on everything... It was an out-of-body experience for a while, but I think we finished at the right time. If we continued, it could’ve gone downhill.”
The actor also described how the lines between his off-screen persona and Ron began to “blur” as the franchise progressed.
“I was feeling the difficulty of being seen, being overshadowed,” he said. “In the movies, we merged into one. By the end of it, I was playing myself. The lines were blurred.
He added that he stills answers to “Ron” if anyone calls him it,...

The White Lotus actor thanked Fineman for her “hilarious” impression and called the comedian an “exceptionally brilliant impressionist” in an Instagram post.
In the skit, titled “Jennifer Coolidge is Impressed by Christmas Stuff”, Fineman dons a gold-sequinned dress and blonde wig, completing the transformation into Coolidge with her instantly recognisable accent.
“Look at this, a big sock full of gifts,” Fineman says as Coolidge, while holding a stocking in front of a Christmas tree.
“The ultimate stocking stuffer…” she says, pausing before adding: “is a foot”.
Later, she can be seen lying atop a white piano while a pianist plays “Jingle Bells”.
“Wow, this is really good, did you write this song?” Fineman asks while pouting and squinting her eyes in true Coolidge fashion.

Weeks ago, Jennifer Coolidge said she'd join The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills of all the franchises. Jennifer is known for iconic roles in A Cinderella Story, Legally Blonde, and HBO's White Lotus, most recently. While centered on Los Angeles and Hollywood's elite, Rhobh can sometimes be a bit stiff. Rhobh season 12 centered on Kathy Hilton's Aspen meltdown and Lisa Rinna's portrayal of it at Kyle Richards' Aspen home. Kyle got caught between a rock and a hard place, unhappy with her sisters' commentary and Lisa's refusal to let the topic die.
Jennifer's knack for camp humor and legend status could be the ideal change of pace for Rhobh. The news that Jennifer might be interested came from E! News iconic Run Down host Erin Lim. She interviewed Jennifer on the red carpet premiere of White Lotus season 2. After Jennifer explained her character's new storyline about following a love interest to no avail,...

Jennifer Coolidge’s coffee maker is broken. The actress is calling from her home in New Orleans, and she just can’t get her crappy automatic to work. “I hope you don’t think I’m an amoeba because I have no personality,” Coolidge, 61, says, deciding to brave the interview without caffeine. “We already postponed this with you, and I don’t want to be a pain in the ass. So I’m just going to have to do it with my low energy.”
In theory, Coolidge could walk to her local coffee shop,...

Jennifer Coolidge is a testament to what great talent, confidence, charisma, and wit can bring to the table in Hollywood. The entertainment industry has a long, tired history of misogyny and mistreatment of women, particularly older actresses, but Coolidge has defied the odds by continuing to shine into her 50s and 60s. Coolidge’s immense comedic skills have broken the mold for decades now.
Jennifer Coolidge’s most famous role is arguably her iconic portrayal of Stifler’s Mom in the cult classic American Pie films. Twenty years later, she received well-earned awards publicity with an Emmy win for ditzy dame Tanya McQuoid on HBO’s hit The White Lotus. Audiences will get to enjoy her presence in the second season of the show premiering on October 30, so we thought this would be a great time to celebrate the greatest roles of her career!
