The first Bridget Jones movie was a big hit with fans, as was the second one. The third was not so much. Therefore, you think they would have stopped there. But they did not.
On February 13th, we are getting Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy on Peacock. And they are killing off the best part of the franchise, the love story between Bridget (Renne Zellwegger) and Mark (Colin Firth). They literally killed off Mark.
In Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bridget is alone once again, widowed four years ago, when Mark (Oscar® winner Colin Firth) was killed on a humanitarian mission in the Sudan. She’s now a single mother to 9-year-old Billy and 4-year-old Mabel, and is stuck in a state of emotional limbo, raising her children with help from her loyal friends and even her former lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant).
Pressured by her Urban Family —Shazzer, Jude and Tom, her work colleague Miranda, her mother, and her gynecologist Dr. Rawlings (Oscar® winner Emma Thompson) — to forge a new path toward life and love, Bridget goes back to work and even tries out the dating apps, where she’s soon pursued by a dreamy and enthusiastic younger man (White Lotus’s Leo Woodall). Now juggling work, home and romance, Bridget grapples with the judgment of the perfect mums at school, worries about Billy as he struggles with the absence of his father, and engages in a series of awkward interactions with her son’s rational-to-a-fault science teacher (Oscar® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor).
When I heard about the film, I was like, “Do we need this?” After watching this trailer, I know we didn’t.
On a positive note, it is the final movie in Bridget’s diary.
It is Halloween, and Peacock has a treat for us! Today, they announced not only when The Traitors is coming back but also who will be competing this season.
Alan Cumming’s 21 guests at his Scotland Castle are:
· Bob Harper (The Biggest Loser)
· Bob The Drag Queen (RuPaul’s Drag Race)
· Britney Haynes (Big Brother)
· Carolyn Wiger (Survivor)
· Chanel Ayan (The Real Housewives of Dubai)
· Chrishell Stause (Selling Sunset)
· Ciara Miller (Summer House)
· Danielle Reyes (Big Brother)
· Dolores Catania (The Real Housewives of New Jersey)
· Dorinda Medley (The Real Housewives of New York City)
· Dylan Efron (Down to Earth with Zac Efron)
· Gabby Windey (The Bachelorette)
· Jeremy Collins (Survivor)
· Lord Ivar Mountbatten (British Royal)
· Nikki Garcia (Professional Wrestler)
· Rob Mariano (Survivor & Deal or No Deal Island)
· Robyn Dixon (The Real Housewives of Potomac)
· Sam Asghari (Actor & Model)
· Tom Sandoval (Vanderpump Rules)
· Tony Vlachos (Survivor)
· Wells Adams (Bachelor in Paradise)
Am I the only person who wishes they used lay folks instead of reality stars on the show? Can’t we have average Americans compete?
Now, having said that who are you rooting for? I hope that Wells Adams is a Traitor because he knows how to manipulate people.
The Traitors just wrapped production on season 3, and Peacock is not waiting to order not one but two more cycles of the Emmy-nominated competition series.
Alan Cumming will be back to host the competitors in a Scotland castle who have to guess who are the traitors among them. Sounds easy, but it isn’t. Their deceit to their fellow castle mates is fun to watch, which is why we keep tuning in.
When can we tune in for season 3? The Hollywood Reporter says we will have to wait until the New Year.
It has been 14 years since Gary Coleman passed away, and there is still a lot of curiosity about his controversial and not-so-easy life. Peacock is going to tell his story on August 29th.
GARY follows the extraordinary story of Gary Coleman’s rise to international fame as the child star of Diff’rent Strokes; his struggles with fame; and the controversy surrounding his tragic death at the age of 42. For the first time, viewers will get insight into Coleman’s private world through exclusive interviews with his fellow actors, industry insiders and his estranged ex-wife, Shannon Price, and parents, Willie and Susan Coleman.
This documentary has me intrigued, so I will be watching!
The Traitors is the best new reality show in a long time. However, Peacock is ruining it by having D-list reality show celebrities who love to fake it compete.
The first season was so good because there were also lay people who competed. Last season, it was almost reality stars, and this season is the same.
The problem with that is that the more seasons the streaming service does, the shittier the names are.
