Millie Ford is Starring in Bump Season 2

If you spend every waking minute of your free time on TikTok then you’ve definitely come across one of the funniest actresses of our time: Millie Ford. The creator manages to take her followers back to their childhood every single TikTok with her hilarious skits and re-enactment of teachers.

I mean seriously, someone give her an Oscar already! But though she doesn’t quite have the famous golden statuette in her possession yet, she is one step closer to obtaining one. The Sydney-based social media star has managed to nab herself a role on the hit Stan show Bump.

Actually, scratch that, Stan is lucky to have nabbed her! And if you thought it couldn’t get any better, then I’m here to tell you that it definitely does. Millie will be playing the role of a school librarian, and we can already imagine her stomping around telling students to be quiet.

First Look at SAS Australia 2022

SAS Australia will return in 2022, with 17 new recruits signing up to be put through a series of gruelling physical and psychological challenges taken from the real SAS selection process.

Chief Instructor Ant Middleton will be in charge of the celeb recruits, along with DS (Directing Staff) Ollie Ollerton. They’ll be joined by SAS newcomers, retired US Navy SEAL Clint Emerson and former British Special Forces soldier Dean Stott, and we’re sure they’re not going to go any easier on the recruits just because they’re new to the show!

Channel 7 has dropped the first-look promo for the upcoming season, and it looks just as brutal as previous seasons.

Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli Announce Their Engagement

They first tied the knot on the dating reality show Married At First Sight in front of the country, and now, Martha Kalifatidis and Michael Brunelli are doing it once again, but for real this time.

Announcing their engagement on Instagram on Sunday night, the couple couldn’t be more thrilled with Martha showing off the fat rock on her finger.

“Mrs B,” the 32-year-old captioned the photo, showing the two of them laying in bed with the stunning ring in clear view.

The pair first met in 2019 on the controversial show where strangers get “married” to one another and are required to work through problems.

After their stint on the show, the duo have become somewhat of a power couple, staying by each other’s side through thick and thin.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings Is Getting a Sequel!

Marvel fans can rejoice in the fact that a sequel of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is happening at Disney+. The news comes after filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton secured a multi-year overall deal with Disney’s Marvel Studios and Hulu’s Onyx Collective, which also gives him the chance to develop TV projects – including a MCU series that’s already in development for Disney+. Cretton will continue on as the director and writer of the forthcoming Marvel sequel film.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings marks the first time an Asian actor has led a Marvel movie alongside a mostly Asian cast. At this time, it’s unclear what the movie’s sequel will entail, but more details are sure to come (hopefully sooner than later).

And Just Like That ... Premiered on BINGE

And just like that, we’ve officially entered a new era of the Sex and the City franchise! The premiere episodes of …And Just Like That, the new reboot series, arrived on Dec. 9 and there are some BIG changes happening in the show (pun intended). From the get-go, the biggest concern fans had with the show returning was: will it reflect what today’s world looks like? Well, the good news is the revival series is on a mission to be as relevant as its predecessor. Which means …And Just Like That has plenty of current references that try to keep up with the times.

For one thing, the show wastes no time addressing the two biggest elephants in the room: COVID-19 and Samantha’s (Kim Catrall) exit.
