This Is Us wrapped up the first half of season 4 and we’re still in shock. 

If you haven’t seen the fall finale — you should really stop reading now. And in cast you’ve forgotten, the episode saw disoriented Rebecca (Mandy Moore) picked up by the police. When she’s finally returned to the Pearson’s cabin, we see Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Kate (Chrissy Metz) preparing to celebrate their 40th birthday sans Randall. But when Rebecca asked Kevin where he was, Kevin reminded her, “We’re not speaking, remember?” Oh yeah and there’s also Kevin’s pregnant fiancée.

“[Randall] loves his mom like nobody’s business,” Brown told Entertainment Weekly. “And the idea of him not being at her aid as she enters into one of the more trying periods of her life is anathema. He will make himself available until he uses himself up. And that may be something that we see until he uses him up. That’s what Randall does. He does too much until he can’t do anything else.”

And what should we expect when the series returns? 

“When Dan [Fogelman, This Is Us creator] thinks that you have him figured out, he often likes to flip it a little bit. So whether or not that is indeed the season 5 premiere on our birthday remains to be seen. Yeah, we will set it up. Structurally, we have some interesting things coming up where, so in season 2, when we had the episodes that focused on Kevin, Kate and Randall, they were called 1, 2, and 3, we’re going to be doing something similar towards the beginning of the second half of season 4. And then those things will intersect and then they’ll have an episode together… The last couple of episodes will really set up what’s going to be happening in the season to come.”

The highly anticipated Frozen sequel is due to be released this fall. It has been six years since the winter princess Elsa stole our hearts and fans are eagerly looking forward to the sequel animation.

While the event will be an exciting one, Sertling K Brown has warned us to keep the tissues nearby.

Speaking to Yahoo! Entertainment, the Lieutenant Matthias voice actor said: “Listen, if you don’t [cry], the heart muscles need to be softened up a little bit because, yeah, this one should get you.”

Unfortunately, Brown’s comments don’t really give us any clues as to what to expect from the sequel. The trailer, which was released in June, shows Elsa venturing north across the enchanted kingdom in search of a “truth” of some sort. This truth has something to do with the reason Elsa has her magical powers.

You can watch the trailer here, and don’t worry, you won’t need to reach for the tissues just yet.

Frozen 2 lands in cinemas November 22nd.

With $1.2 billion in the box office, critical acclaim and songs that are etched into the minds of many, 2013’s Frozen is one of Disney’s greatest hits, and it makes sense the studios will not let it go.

Jennifer Lee, the Chief Creative Officer at Disney Animation who wrote and co-directed the first film, and her co-director Chriss Buck revealed some plot lines from the new movie, a new song and some new faces to the cast.

According to the directors, the new movie will explore more in depth the origins of Elsa’s powers and also delve into the fate of the sisters’ parents.

Queen Iduna, Anna and Elsa’s mother, will be played by Evan Rachel Wood and a new character called Lieutenant Matthias will be played by Sterling K. Brown.

The directors have also revealed a new song: “Into the Unknown” – a ballad led by Idina Menzel, which is set to be the sequel’s answer to the original’s “Let it Go.”

That’s exactly what Midge Maisel appears to be doing in the first image released from the upcoming season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Looking as glamorous as always, the comedienne can be seen lying on a deck chair by the pool, reading a copy of Vogue, while her manager Susie sort of, well, collapses on the chair next to her.

Season 2 ended with Midge being asked to open for musician Shy Baldwin on his tour, which is set to take them to Miami, where this photo was taken.

Season 3 is also expected to include This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown, and very possibly Lauren Graham, who worked with Maisel creator Amy Sherman-Palladino on Gilmore Girls.

“Lauren made a request, and Lauren is my queen and the reason I have a career, so I honor the request of Lauren Graham,” she said. “I’m trying to figure it out. Hopefully [she’ll be in season three]. It would be lovely.”

A premiere date for season 3 has not yet been announced, but it is expected later this year.

You may remember back in 2016 when the Academy Awards nominees all looked a little similar.

The 20 names announced as nominees among the four main acting categories were all Caucasian, prompting allegations of a lack of diversity within The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The incident spurred the campaign #OscarsSoWhite, which in turn pushed The Academy to transform its membership.

That practice is being followed through in the announcement of its latest batch of members.

Of the 842 industry professionals who have been invited to join The Academy, 50% are female and 29% are non-white.

They include big names such as Lady Gaga, Claire Foy, Sterling K. Brown, Mark Ronson, Jamie Bell, Jennifer Ehle, Tom Holland, Damian Lewis, Elisabeth Moss, Archie Panjabi, Amanda Peet, and Alexander Skarsgard.

The new additions have likely caused the number of members to surpass 9,000, while 8,000 will be eligible to vote in the upcoming Oscars next February.

While This Is Us is on hiatus between its third and fourth season, the award-winning actor has booked himself a role on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

The series’ main star, Rachel Brosnahan, has previously said that Brown would be her top choice for a guest role, and it appears as though the powers-that-be were listening.

“The Palladinos were kind enough to write something for your boy, and I said yes. So stay tuned. I’m getting together with Midge, and it’s gonna be awesome,” Brown said, announcing the good news.

Never having done stand-up, the 43-year-old is known for being a pretty funny guy (Randall Pearson would be proud) so it is possible that he could play a comic in season three of the Amazon Prime series.

We’re already putting our hands together.

Only a few months ago it was revealed that Claire Foy who plays Queen Elizabeth II on The Crown was being paid less than her consort, Matt Smith.

Westworld actress, Evan Rachel Wood, also detailed that from season 3 she would receive the same pay as her male counterparts which, she says, has “never, never” happened before.

Dozens of actors and filmmakers including This Is Us stars, Sterling K. Brown and Mandy Moore, veteran actress Jane Fonda, Black Monday actor Don Cheadle, and director of Selma, Ava DuVernay, have signed an open letter to Hollywood addressing the issue.

“There is an egregious wage gap for historically female-majority crafts,” the letter stated. “It’s time for the Entertainment Industry to take a hard look at its pay and compensation practices above and below the line to make sure all productions meet the legal ― and moral ― requirement to pay fairly without discrimination.”

According to Forbes, the highest-earning actors in Hollywood between June 2017 and 2017 earned a combined total of $748.5 million compared to their female counterparts with $186 million.

On the 10th of July, Drake released In My Feelings as the 5th single from his latest album, Scorpion.

The track appears to have followed in the footsteps of one of its predecessors, Hotline Bling, which is recognized for an iconic dance which the rapper performed in the music video.

In My Feelings’ line, “Kiki, do you love me?” inspired comedian, Shiggy, to create what has become known all over social media as the #InMyFeelingsChallenge.

The challenge has seen dozens of celebs breaking it down to Drake.

On-screen couple Sterling K. Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson of This Is Us threw in some twerking:

DJ Steve Aoki got creative on the sea:

Newlyweds Ciara and Russell Wilson did their thing whilst on honeymoon in Cape Town, South Africa:

The Fab Five might just incorporate the challenge on Queer Eye:

Ryan Seacrest might need a bit more practice…

And Will Smith took the challenge to new heights:

On behalf of Kiki, we love all of these!

When we last left the Pearsons, we received a glimpse into the future of the Big 3 as the show continued its practice of hopping timelines.

A day before filming started, Chrissy Metz, who plays Kate, shared her excitement on Instagram:

“Y’all, it feels like the night before the first day of school! It’s difficult to put into a post what this show and the special humans who make it possible mean to me,” wrote the 37-year-old.

Creator of the ABC series, Dan Fogelman, then teased us with a snippet of a scene with Sterling K. Brown and Susan Kelechi Watson who play Randall and Beth.

First scene up, Season 3 baby!!! #ThisIsUs pic.twitter.com/1HW00ZKSub

Fogelman also gave us some insight as to what to expect when the show returns on September 25th…

“I think we might be looking at our most ambitious, potentially our best season yet, which is rare to say when you’re entering your 37th episode of a show, but I feel recharged. think we have really spectacular stuff coming and real showcases for these actors. We have some stuff coming for Beth right away early in season three where you really learn about her and where she comes from and what her background is that I think is going to be really exciting for the audience.”

We can’t wait.
