When, shortly after Thanksgiving, Eliza (Hope Davis) discovers a love letter to her husband (Stanley Tucci) from an unknown woman, she heads into the city from Long Island to investigate—taking her parents (Pat McNamara and Anne Meara), her sister (Parker Posey), and her sister’s boyfriend (Liev Schreiber) along for the ride. Cue a day of familial chaos.

Home for the Holidays (1995)

Based on a short story by Chris Radant, Jodie Foster’s Home for the Holidays assembles the quintessential dysfunctional family out of a star-studded cast: Holly Hunter (playing Claudia, a recently fired art restorer who flies home to Baltimore for Thanksgiving), Robert Downey Jr. (as Tommy, Claudia’s younger brother), Dylan McDermott (as Leo, Tommy’s friend), Anne Bancroft (as Adele, her mother), Charles Durning (as Henry, her father), Geraldine Chaplin (as Aunt Glady, Adele’s sister), and Claire Danes (as Kitt, Claudia’s daughter), among others.

America Ferrera wants daughter to enjoy ‘glory of Ugly Betty’

America Ferrera thinks her daughter will “love” Ugly Betty.

America Ferrera starred in the hit TV series

The 41-year-old actress played Betty Suarez in the ABC comedy-drama series between 2006 and 2010, and America is convinced that her daughter will come to love the hit TV show one day.

America – who has Lucia, five, with her husband Ryan Piers Williams – told E! News: “My daughter is really into clothes and fashion. I’m really excited for when she’s old enough to really take in the glory of Betty. I think she’ll love it.”

America – who has been married to Ryan since 2011 – confessed that Lucia already has “very particular tastes” and she’s yet to see a single minute of the TV show.

Meanwhile, America admitted in 2023 that she has a “deep desire” to return to Ugly Betty.

The actress revealed that she would reprise the role “in a heartbeat”.

Asked about the possibility of reviving the character, America told Entertainment Tonight: “I think there has been like a deep desire there for a long time because our Ugly Betty family is so close and so we love each other so much.

“I think we’d all come back in a heartbeat.”

On the other hand, America acknowledged that it “takes a lot of work to get a thing off the ground”.

The actress added: “Maybe we’ll figure it out.”

America has achieved lots of success during her career, but she remains extremely fond of her most-famous on-screen character.

The award-winning star – who also starred in the Barbie movie earlier this year – said: “Betty is my heart. I would be thrilled [to play her again].”

Prior to that, Salma Hayek – the show’s executive producer – took to social media to thank fans for their continued love for the hit TV show.

The actress also heaped praise on America and the show’s “great cast”.

Alongside some throwback photos of herself and America, Salma wrote on Instagram: “I am so excited that a new generation is discovering Ugly Betty. This series is very close to our hearts at Ventanarosa because we produced it 17 years ago. It was groundbreaking at its time and has remained relevant throughout all these years. America, I’m so proud of all your accomplishments; we couldn’t have done it without such a great cast. (sic)”

I don’t enjoy watching my performances

Madelaine Petsch hates watching herself on screen.

Madelaine Petsch doesn’t enjoy watching herself

The 31-year-old actress stars in and executive produced The Strangers: Chapter 2, the new horror film, but Madelaine admits that she struggles to watch herself on the big screen.

She told People: “I don’t enjoy watching my performances.

“I edited these films, so I watched them in that capacity. But when I was editing, I was able to remove myself from it because there’s a lot of stopping and starting.”

Madelaine actually confessed to feeling self-conscious while watching The Strangers: Chapter 2 at the film’s Los Angeles premiere.

She said: “I think the premiere in Los Angeles was the first time I had seen it on the big screen in a year, and it was a little bit like, ‘Oh my God, these people are watching me.’ I’ve never sat in a real theatre that’s not a premiere, where there was an actual audience watching my film. I think that would make me feel crazy.”

Meanwhile, Madelaine recently revealed that she’s still able to “lean on” Lili Reinhart and Camila Mendes for help and support.

The actress starred alongside Lili, 29, and Camila, 31, in Riverdale, the hit TV series, between 2017 and 2023, and Madelaine is thrilled to have retained a close friendship with her former co-stars.

She told The Hollywood Reporter: “Those two girls are still my absolute best friends in the whole world.

“It can go one of two ways when you shoot a show like that, and it went the right way with us. We all came up together in a really intense environment, having shot up to a world that we’d never been in before: fame and a successful TV show. We had each other to constantly lean on in any scenario.”

Madelaine thinks she’s fortunate to have worked with such supportive people.

She said: “We still call each other to be like, ‘I am doing this movie. Have you heard of this director?’ And someone will say, ‘Oh, I met with him.’ And someone will ask, ‘What was your experience like?’ We’re a unit.

“No matter what we do or where we are, we always support each other. It’s rare in Hollywood to find people who don’t feel competitive with you and support you so unabashedly, so I’m really lucky to have found my people.”

Paul McCartney and Billie Eilish enjoy Oasis reunion tour in LA

Paul McCartney and Billie Eilish were among those attending the Oasis reunion tour stop in Los Angeles this weekend.

The North American leg of the Oasis Live ‘25 tour rolled into the Rose Bowl Stadium for the first of two sold-out shows last night (September 6), with a host of famous faces, including Vince Vaughn, Leonardo DiCaprio, Salma Hayek, Kristen Stewart, Metallica‘s James Hetfield, Finneas, Eilish and McCartney in attendance.

The latter can be seen in clips on social media filming while Noel Gallagher sang ‘Little By Little’, with many noting he was the only one in his section who stood up throughout. In a separate clip, fans approached him as he left the venue and asked what he thought of the show, to which he replied: “Fabulous”.

As far back as 2015, Noel had joked that if McCartney wrote their comeback single, he’d be willing to discuss a reunion. The same year, he walked back comments he made to MTV, where he said Oasis were bigger than The Beatles, which McCartney said was the biggest mistake of their career.

“I thought, ‘So many people have said that, and it’s the kiss of death,‘” he said at the time. “Be bigger than The Beatles, but don’t say it. The minute you say it, everything you do from then on is going to be looked at in the light of that statement.”

Both brothers revere McCartney, with Liam fondly recalling a now infamous interaction they’d had while speaking to NME in 2017.

“I’ve met him a few times he’s been absolutely a dream,” he said. “The last time was at the Royal Albert Hall. He goes, ‘Why are you always in a rush? Sit down, sit down’. I sit down and he goes, ‘Do you like margaritas?’ I said, ‘Yeah, but I had something before I come out, I don’t eat at this time of night’.

“He said, ‘They’re fuckin’ drinks, you stupid prick’. I thought he was offering me a pizza.”

A previous stop on the North American leg took them to New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, where they dedicated ‘Live Forever’ to the victims of the Minneapolis church shooting on the first night earlier this week.

Last Wednesday (August 27), a shooter targeted a group of people outside the Church of the Annunciation in Minneapolis before morning mass, killing two children and injuring eighteen others. The perpetrator then killed himself.

Oasis will next play dates in Pasadena and Mexico City before heading back for two extra shows at Wembley Stadium at the end of the month. They go on to play South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil before the end of the year.

NME gave Oasis’ historic first comeback concert at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium a glowing five-star review, writing: “After a ‘90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century.”

“Playing before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits.”

Noel also spoke recently about the “great” experience of being back on tour with his brother Liam, saying he had forgotten “how funny” he is, adding that he is “smashing it” and he is “proud of him”.

The Power Couple’s Downtime: Virat Kohli And Anushka Sharma Enjoy Leisurely London Walk | Glamsham.com

A new video of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli has gone viral on social media, giving fans a glimpse into the couple’s peaceful life in London. The clip shows the duo casually strolling through the streets with another couple, blending effortlessly into the crowd. Both Anushka and Virat were seen dressed in casual outfits, radiating ease and comfort as they enjoyed lighthearted banter and laughter. Virat was also spotted carrying a large water bottle, sparking speculation that the two had just wrapped up a workout session.

Fans React With Joy

The video, widely circulated by fan pages, has triggered an outpouring of reactions online. Admirers expressed happiness at seeing the star couple enjoying life away from the constant glare of the limelight. One fan wrote, “They finally found their peace and calm over fame.” Another commented, “He couldn’t have this life in India. Gladly, he is living a normal life in the UK.”

Some netizens pointed out the stroller with the couple accompanying them, speculating that the meet-up was likely a bonding moment between parents. Another fan observed, “This is exactly what they craved for! Good for them.” Many echoed the sentiment that the pair’s decision to step away from constant fame was wise, with one comment reading, “The line ‘Peace over fame’ hits hard.”

Choosing Privacy Over Spotlight

The heartwarming moment comes as no surprise, given that Virat and Anushka have often emphasized the importance of privacy. They maintain a strict no-photo policy for their children, choosing to shield their family life from the media spotlight. Their move to London reportedly happened after the birth of their second child, Akaay, in February 2024, as they sought a calmer environment away from public scrutiny.

A Journey of Love and Family

Virat and Anushka’s love story began in 2013 when they met on the sets of a commercial. After nearly four years of dating, the couple tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony in Tuscany, Italy, in December 2017. Their first child, Vamika, was born in January 2021, followed by the birth of their son Akaay in February 2024. Despite their global stardom, the couple has consistently chosen to prioritize family life over fame.

Peace Over Fame

While the duo remains among the most influential celebrity couples in India, their London chapter reflects a conscious choice—embracing normalcy, cherishing parenthood, and prioritizing peace over constant attention. Fans, meanwhile, continue to celebrate their journey, admiring the balance they have struck between fame and family.
