Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jennifer Love Hewitt 'Run in Different Circles' After Rumored Feud
During an interview with Variety, Freddie admitted that before reuniting with JLH for the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot, they hadn't seen each other in nearly three decades. 'We run in different circles,' he explained. 'I hadn't seen her since we wrapped the second movie in '98, but we care a lot about these characters, and it was all still there. After we finished that first scene, we had a chance to say, 'Oh, you have kids. And you have kids.''
The Scooby-Doo alum, who has been married to fellow IKWYDLS star Sarah Michelle Gellar since 2002, added, 'Honestly, I think the first scene we share in this movie, where Ray and Julie confront the reality of their relationship, is the best work we've done of all three. I'm really proud of it. Our director, Jenn Robinson, three-dimensionalized these characters.'
Per Us Weekly, fans have long speculated that Jennifer had a tiff with SMG after the first film and requested that her character be killed off from the franchise. The Ghost actor debunked the rumor during a 2024 appearance on the I've Never Said This Before podcast, saying, 'I was 18. They were not taking script notes from me, guys.'
She also clarified that she was 'totally' friends with Sarah back then, adding, 'All of us were in that experience together and, kind of, figuring it all out and everything. I root for her and Freddie and think it's the cutest thing in the world that they've been married for 100 years, and have kids. It's adorable. It's just been really funny to see all of this stuff that people think.'
After the premiere of the latest IKWYDLS movie, Sarah entered the chat in her Instagram comments section to clarify where she and Jennifer stand. 'For everyone asking—I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt who is fantastic in the movie. I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately JLH didn't come to the after party,' she wrote.
She added, 'If you have ever been to one of these it's crazy. I sadly didn't get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn't change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately some things happen only in real life and not online.'
The film's reboot, which stars Gen Z powerhouses Chase Sui Wonders, Madelyn Cline, Jonah Hauer-King, Gabbriette Bechtel, and Sarah Pidgeon, continues in the same timeline as the original 1997 movie. Director Jenn Kaytin Robinson brought Freddie and Jennifer's OG characters back for the legacy sequel and shot down theories that the pair shot their scenes separately amid their longstanding feud rumors.
'They absolutely shot their scenes together. Hope this helps,' Jenn wrote in response to a social media post that sparked a debate between fans of the iconic franchise.
TL;DR: it seems like there isn't any bad blood between these scream queens and kings.

Sydney Sweeney is a meme stock icon now
It may not seem like the famous actor has much in common with the most famous retail trader folk heroes, but Sweeney on Thursday was the unlikely catalyst of a sudden stock surge. An American Eagle ad featuring the actor went viral on the internet on Wednesday, attracting the attention of not only the clothing retailer's fans but also the Wall Street Bets crowd, sending shares of the company surging. The campaign, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," is tailored toward drawing in the brand's Gen Z customer base. The company's stock spiked as much as 12% on Thursday. "$AEO Who doesn't like Sydney Sweeney. That's my DD," one Reddit user said, sharing a captioned screenshot showing a position of 20,000 shares in American Eagle opened on Thursday. American Eagle shares some characteristics with its meme stock brethren: its short interest level is elevated at around 12% of the total float. That makes the stock a promising target for retail investors looking for a short squeeze. That puts it among the DORKs —Krispy Kreme, Opendoor, Rocket Lab, and Kohl's—which all rallied this week. And like Opendoor and the others, American Eagle's business has been challenged. The new ad campaign featuring Sweeney is part of the apparel company's move to revitalize the brand amid stiff competition and caution from consumers due to lingering economic uncertainty. The company's most recent earnings report showed a 5% drop in revenue, and American Eagle has pulled forward guidance. Despite the recent rally, the stock is still down 32% year-to-date. But at the end of the day, the rise of particular meme stocks might not have much rhyme or reason. For the retail traders piling in, the investment thesis is simple: they think Sweeney is hot.

Getty One interesting thing of note is how some of the character names line-up with an early, and supposedly debunked, report. It was previously reported that the Slayer's name in the reboot would be Nova and she would have a pair of friends: Hugo and Gracie. Hugo was described as an "out and proud" nerd from a wealthy family, while Gracie was described as an acolyte of Gellar's Buffy. However, Gellar later debunked these reports, calling them "fake." However, according to the new story from Variety, Sarah Bock's characters is named Gracie, while Faly Rakotohavana will be playing a character named Hugo. These five additions to the cast represent the first casting news for the "Buffy" reboot since it was announced Ryan Kiera Armstrong had been tapped to play the new Slayer in May. Sarah Michelle Gellar announced Armstrong had been cast through a video on Instagram, and captioned the video with "I want to introduce you to @ryankarmstrong From the moment I saw Ryan's audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side. To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room. Welcome to #NewSunnydale #btvs." There's also been a good deal of speculation about who else from the original series might return for the "Buffy" reboot. That speculation only intensified in June when Gellar was quoted saying she wanted to bring back dead characters. "It will be lighter than the last few seasons of the original," Gellar said. "We will try to find a balance between new and old characters. My dream is to bring back everyone who has died, but space will have to be made for new stories as well."

GloRilla Arrested on Felony Drug Charges the Night Before WNBA All-Star Performance
Rapper GloRilla was arrested on felony drug charges after a burglary occurred at her home near Atlanta on Saturday, according to Atlanta's WSB-TV and TMZ — and then performed at the WNBA All-Star game in Indianapolis that night. The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office confirmed to the channel that authorities were called to a home owned by the rapper, whose real name is Gloria Hallelujah Woods, at 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning. More from Variety Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Set Deluxe Edition of 'I Said I Love You First,' Featuring Glorilla and More Cardi B Calls Herself and Kamala Harris 'Underdogs,' Says She's 'Promising a Lot' and 'I Believe Her' Usher Has Busy Weekend in Atlanta With Three Concerts - Featuring GloRilla, Kirk Franklin and Da Brat - and Kamala Harris Rally The rapper then performed at the WNBA All-Star game in Indianapolis that evening, playing a medley of her songs 'Let Her Cook,' 'Typa' and 'TGIF' at the Gainsbridge Fieldhouse. She surrendered to authorities at the Forsyth County Jail on Tuesday and was released shortly afterward after on a $22,260 bond. Representatives for the rapper and the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to Variety's request for comment. Investigators said three suspects went into the home when Woods was not present and were robbing the residence when an unidentified individual inside the building fired at them. The burglars escaped and investigators do not believe they were injured. During the investigation, officers smelled drugs and found a 'significant amount of marijuana' in a bedroom closet. Woods was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of a controlled substance. 'The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,' Sheriff Ron Freeman told the channel. 'At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.' Woods was arrested just over a year ago on DUI charges in Georgia's Gwinnett County.
