Jessica Lange finally addresses ‘AHS' comeback rumors.
Speaking with Irish radio station Spin 1038, the Emmy-winning actress dismissed any speculation, saying, 'I haven't done it for more than 10 years, 12 years, so, no, I'm not doing it.' Even when pressed about whether she'd consider appearing in the rumored final 13th season, she simply replied, 'No,' with a chuckle.
Lange was a central figure in the first four seasons of FX's hit horror anthology, portraying iconic roles like Constance Langdon and Fiona Goode. Her performances earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards. She later made a guest appearance in American Horror Story: Apocalypse (2018), reprising her Murder House character, Constance.
While Lange has ruled out a return, AHS creator Ryan Murphy hinted in an interview last fall that longtime series stars Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters might come back for season 13. The upcoming season is currently in development, though details remain under wraps.
With Lange's definitive response, it's clear she has moved on from the horror franchise, leaving fans to speculate whether American Horror Story will bring back other fan-favorite actors for what could be its final chapter.

Sydney Chandler cut from cover after refusing to pose with co-stars
Sydney Chandler, daughter of Emmy-winning actor Kyle Chandler, has found herself at the centre of a media storm after being removed from Variety's cover story for the upcoming FX series Alien: Earth. The move followed what insiders described as increasingly difficult behaviour during the show's press tour. According to Variety, Chandler's team informed them a day before the shoot that she would not participate in a Q&A segment alongside co-star Timothy Olyphant and showrunner Noah Hawley. The objection? She reportedly didn't want to sit down with 'two older men' for what was meant to be a playful video segment. Variety offered her alternative formats and even allowed her team to suggest questions, but nothing came of it. Chandler later cited illness to withdraw entirely. Despite attempts to reschedule, the publication ultimately cut her from the shoot. Olyphant and Hawley appeared on the cover without her. Hawley didn't hide his disappointment. 'The show is built around Sydney's character, and the work she did as a professional was tremendous,' he said. 'I'm disappointed that my female-centric show, based on a female-facing franchise, does not have my lead actress on the cover. It felt awkward to be there with Tim without her.' Chandler attempted to clarify her stance in a follow-up interview, insisting that she's 'just a private person' and 'new to press.' She claimed she was eager to discuss the series but found the press format overwhelming. The backlash was immediate. Online forums lit up with debate over whether her actions reflected unprofessionalism or a need for more respectful promotional practices. While FX has yet to issue a formal statement, the incident has already shifted focus away from the show and squarely onto Chandler herself.

Taylor Rooks marries Shane Fowler in private wedding with celebrity guests and no media presence
Renowned NBA host Taylor Rooks recently tied the knot with Shane Fowler in a private yet lavish ceremony, leaving fans both surprised and curious about her new husband. The 33-year-old broadcaster shared dreamy wedding photos on Instagram, showcasing an intimate celebration attended by several A-listers. While Rooks didn't officially announce her partner's identity, fans spotted the name "Shane" printed on the wedding menu, leading to speculation that her husband is Shane Fowler. Although Rooks has remained tight-lipped about her personal life, online speculation suggests that Fowler works in tech or media. His discreet presence at the wedding, combined with Rooks' long-standing privacy regarding her relationships, only heightened interest in the man she chose to marry. The couple's ceremony took place in a private location on July 23, 2025, with no prior public announcement. Rooks wore a strapless satin and tulle gown with a sweetheart neckline, while Fowler opted for a pinstriped dark suit, satin lapels, and a bow tie. The newlyweds looked radiant in the photos, which Rooks captioned simply: 'What a night. This is love.' Despite the quiet nature of the celebration, the guest list featured several prominent figures, including Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Saquon Barkley, Donovan Mitchell, Coco Jones, Jack Harlow, Lala Anthony, and Joy Taylor. Notably, no media outlets were invited. Taylor Rooks, who began her career with the Big Ten Network, rose to national prominence through her work with Bleacher Report and TNT, where she earned two Emmy nominations. Her surprise wedding comes just weeks after announcing her departure from TNT and her upcoming role as the host of Amazon Prime Video's new NBA studio show alongside legends like Blake Griffin and Dwyane Wade. Congratulations to Taylor Rooks and Shane Fowler on their new beginning.

A-listers head to Venice film fest
Julia Roberts will walk the red carpet at the 82nd edition of the film festival. Photo: File Hollywood stars, Oscar-winning directors, Asian heavyweights and European auteurs will vie for top honours at this year's stellar Venice Film Festival, all looking to make a splash at the start of the awards season, reported Reuters. Running from August 27 to September 6, the 82nd edition of the world's oldest film festival will showcase a rich array of films that spans psychological thrillers, art-house dramas, genre-bending experiments, documentaries, and buzzy studio-backed productions. Among the leading A-listers expected to walk the Venice Lido's red carpet are Julia Roberts, Emma Stone, George Clooney, Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Andrew Garfield, Oscar Isaac, Cate Blanchett and Amanda Seyfried. Netflix returns A who's-who of global directors will also be premiering their latest pictures at the 11-day event, including US filmmakers Kathryn Bigelow, Jim Jarmusch, Noah Baumbach and Benny Safdie, alongside top Europeans Yorgos Lanthimos, Paolo Sorrentino, and Laszlo Nemes, and Asia's Park Chan-wook and Shu Qi. Netflix, which skipped Venice last year, returns in full force in 2025 with a trio of headline-grabbing titles, including Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, a new take on the classic horror tale starring Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth. Baumbach's comedy-drama Jay Kelly, starring Clooney, Adam Sandler and Laura Dern, is also in the main competition and on the Netflix slate, alongside the geopolitical thriller A House of Dynamite, with Idris Elba and Rebecca Ferguson, and directed by Bigelow, who won an Oscar in 2010 for The Hurt Locker. Venice fires the starting gun for the awards season, with films premiering on the Lido in the last four years collecting more than 90 Oscar nominations and winning almost 20, making it the place to be seen for actors, producers and directors alike. In the past nine editions of the Oscars, the award for Best Actress or Best Actor has gone eight times to the protagonists of films first seen in Venice, including Stone for her role in Poor Things in 2024. Fighters and families Stone returns to Venice this year, teaming up again with Poor Things director Lanthimos in an offbeat satire, Bugonia. The indie icon of US cinema, Jim Jarmusch, will be showing his Father Mother Sister Brother, a three-part tale exploring fractured families with a cast that includes Blanchett, Vicky Krieps, Adam Driver and Tom Waits. Another US film getting its first outing at Venice is the MMA fighter biopic The Smashing Machine, starring Johnson and Blunt, and directed by Benny Safdie. A very different biopic is The Testament of Ann Lee — a musical take on the life of the radical 18th-century Shaker leader, which stars Seyfried and is directed by Norway's Mona Fastvold. European auteurs are well-represented, with Paolo Sorrentino's La Grazia, starring Toni Servillo, selected as the festival's opening film, while Hungary's Nemes presents the family drama Orphan and France's Francois Ozon showcases his retelling of Albert Camus' celebrated novel The Stranger. Another French director, Olivier Assayas, will premiere The Wizard of the Kremlin — a political thriller about the rise of Vladimir Putin, starring Paul Dano and Alicia Vikander, with Jude Law playing the Russian leader. Palestinian tale One film that looks certain to raise emotions is Kaouther Ben Hania's The Voice of Hind Rajab, which uses original emergency service recordings to tell the story of a five-year-old Palestinian girl who was killed in Gaza in 2024 after being trapped for hours in a vehicle targeted by Israeli forces. "I think it is one of the films that will make the greatest impression, and hopefully (won't be) controversial," said the festival's artistic director, Alberto Barbera, his voice trembling as he recalled the offering. Among the battery of films being shown out of competition is Luca Guadagnino's MeToo-themed psychological drama After The Hunt, starring Ayo Edebiri, Garfield and Julia Roberts, who will be making her red carpet debut at Venice, Barbera said. The jury for the main competition will be chaired by US director Alexander Payne. He will be joined by fellow directors Stephane Brize, Maura Delpero, Cristian Mungiu, Mohammad Rasoulof, and the actors Fernanda Torres and Zhao Tao.
