Am I Dreaming or Is "My Best Friend's Wedding" Really Getting a Sequel?
Save the date! A sequel to My Best Friend's Wedding is reportedly on the way.
The 1997 rom-com starred Julia Roberts as Julianne Potter, a New York City-based food critic who made a pact to marry her college best friend, Michael (Dermot Mulroney), if they were both still single by the time they turned 28. Instead of getting a proposal on the eve of her 28th birthday, Julianne gets invited to Michael's unexpected wedding to a college junior named Kimmy (Cameron Diaz). The surprise nuptials makes Julianne realize that she's in love with Michael—and now she only has a few days to break up the couple for good.

Celine Song will write the script.
Collider reported on July 29 that Sony has tapped Celine Song to write the sequel's script. Song is well known for her tender and moving depictions of love and romance onscreen; she previously wrote and directed the 2023 Oscar-nominated film Past Lives and the 2025 rom-com Materialists.
The original cast has teased the possibility of a sequel.
Mulroney talked about the potential sequel during an interview with the New York Post on July 25. 'There is talk of a sequel,' he told the outlet. 'I know nothing about it. Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote.'
Roberts has also previously expressed interest in returning to her role as Julianne. When asked which of her previous films she'd want to see get a sequel during a 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she answered, 'I think, maybe, My Best Friend's Wedding.' She added that she would want 'to see what they're doing and how Kimmy and Michael's marriage is going.'

Sharon Stone says she still makes more money modeling than acting
Sharon Stone has been a Hollywood icon for over a quarter century, but when it comes to getting paid, her acting work isn't the most lucrative. "I still make more money today modeling than in film," Stone, 67, told Business Insider. "It's still a huge part of my reality." Stone started her career as a model, quitting school at 15 and moving to New York City to enter the fashion world. She was quickly signed by Ford Modeling Agency and found herself working regularly in Milan and Paris. By 19, she returned to New York and began pursuing acting as a path to her initial goal: directing. "Back then, I wanted to be a director, but the pesky vagina has stood in my way. Because how could you possibly have a brain and a vagina?" Stone told BI. "It seems to have confounded so many." In those early days, Stone rollerbladed around Manhattan to her auditions, her giant modeling portfolio in tow. She got her big break in 1980, when she was cast as one of the extras in Woody Allen's "Stardust Memories," and was later asked to step in for a spot in the movie's opening scene, where Allen, sitting on a train, sees a beautiful woman across from him on another train. "I was 19 and they put me in this tight dress, and I was so awkward about my body," Stone recalled. "The hair person put a real gardenia in my hair. It really meant the world to me that she did that. It made me feel important." Stone became a hot commodity in Hollywood after "Stardust Memories." After regularly working in B-movies through the 1980s like "King Solomon's Mines" and "Police Academy 4," she landed the role that would change her life when she scored the female lead in the 1992 sensation "Basic Instinct." Though the role made her an icon, she wasn't paid like one. In 2023, Stone revealed she was paid $500,000 for "Basic Instinct" while her costar Michael Douglas earned $14 million. She went on to earn an Oscar nomination in 1996 for her performance opposite Robert De Niro in Martin Scorsese's "Casino," and won an Emmy in 2004 for her guest spot on "The Practice." But her career was also dogged by money troubles: the actor revealed in 2024 that she lost $18 million in savings after suffering a stroke in 2001. "When I got back into my bank account, it was all gone. My refrigerator, my phone — everything was in other people's names," Stone said. "I had zero money." Over the years, Stone has modeled for high fashion brands like Dior and Dolce & Gabbana, and recently did ads for Mugler. "I'm still one of the oldest women consistently modeling today," Stone said. "I'm very, very grateful I still get to do it." Next, Stone will star in "Nobody 2," opening in theaters August 15.
