This Unexpected Wedding Movie Was Just Named One of the Best Films of the 21st Century
This week, the New York Times released their list of the top 100 movies of the 21st century, as selected by notable directors, actors, and Hollywood insiders. Bridesmaids, the hit 2011 wedding film starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Melissa McCarthy, was ranked as number 32. The film beat out other beloved wedding movies released since January 1, 2000, like Wedding Crashers, 27 Dresses, and Bride far as classic wedding films go, movies like Father of the Bride, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Four Weddings and a Funeral are generally consider to be some of the very best. What do these flicks all have in common—beyond a wedding serving as significant part of the plot, that is? They were all released in the 20th century. There have been more contemporary wedding hits, though, like Wedding Crashers, The Wedding Singer, The Wedding Planner, and 27 Dresses, which were all released in the last 25 years. But the modern wedding movie that officially reigns supreme is none other than the 2011 cult-classic Bridesmaids. That's not just our opinion—the movie was just named one of the top 100 best movies of the 21st century by the New York Times. The list, which was released in full today, June 27, highlights the top 100 movies from the last 25 years. To compile their winners, the New York Times asked 500 "influential directors, actors, and other notable names in Hollywood and around the world" to cast ballots for their favorite films released after January 1, 2000. Voters included names like Sofia Coppola, Barry Jenkins, and Julianne Moore. Related: Julia Roberts Wants to Do a 'My Best Friend's Wedding' Sequel One standout winner spotted by the editors at BRIDES was the 2011 cult-classic wedding film Bridesmaids, which was ranked at number 32. Starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, and Melissa McCarthy, the hilarious movie follows a group of women as they prepare to support their pal, Lillian (played by Rudolph) as she prepares to walk down the aisle. Wiig stars as Annie, Lillian's longtime best friend and maid of honor, who instantly feels competitive with the bride's newest girlfriend, Helen (played by Byrne). The movie follows the group doing everything from the engagement party and choosing bridesmaids' dresses (an unforgettable scene for those in the know) to planning pre-nuptial events and trying (and failing) to head to Las Vegas for a bachelorette party. "What surprises is how deeply felt this Paul Feig film is: Annie is sad and jealous, unable to get out of her own way," The New York Times writes of why the film made their list of the top 100 of the century. "We've all been there, though perhaps not with explosive diarrhea." The movie is the only one on the list centered around a wedding, beating out other contemporary favorites people might expect like My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Bride Wars.

Is Palm Royale season 2 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 20, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated June 20, 2025, 13:37 IST Obsessed with Palm Royale ? The glitzy 1960s drama, dripping with Kristen Wiig's chaotic energy and Palm Beach backstabbing, left everyone reeling after that wild Season 1 finale. Fans are buzzing about when Season 2 will hit Apple TV+. June 2025 was the dream, but is it happening? Here's everything we know so far. Palm Royale Season 2 Release Date: Is June 2025 Likely? Hate to break it, but June 2025 isn't looking good for Palm Royale Season 2. Apple TV+ dropped a big promo video on June 9, 2025, hyping their 2025 shows, and Palm Royale was nowhere in sight. That's a major hint the premiere's likely pushed to 2026. Here's the deal: filming kicked off in October 2024 and wrapped in May 2025, per Mindy Cohn's Instagram spill. Season 1 took a hefty 22 months from filming start (May 2022) to its March 2024 debut. Hoped for a quicker turnaround this time, but Apple's all about that slow-cooked perfection. Post-production's probably chugging along, so late 2025 is the earliest bet, though 2026 feels more realistic. Fingers crossed for a teaser to ease the wait. Renewal Confirmed, Production Wrapped The great news? Palm Royale Season 2 is 100% happening. Apple TV+ confirmed the renewal in June 2024, right after Season 1's finale had jaws on the floor. Social media went wild—X posts were a chaotic mix of memes and hype. Filming's already done, wrapping in May 2025. Since the show leans more on fabulous gowns than sci-fi effects, editing shouldn't drag too long. Still, Apple's known for taking its time to make every scene pop. Expect some serious glamour when it lands. Where to Stream Season 2 Palm Royale Season 2 will be exclusive to Apple TV+, requiring a subscription. Season 1 rolled out weekly episodes, keeping viewers hooked, and the same format is likely for Season 2. No free streaming options are available, so plan to tune in via Apple's platform.

Star who worked with Pedro Pascal and Kaia Gerber is unrecognizable with her kids at a park, who is she?
This versatile actress has a long, impressive resume that mostly includes silver-screen comedies. The 51-year-old super quirky star got her start on Saturday Night Live decades ago. Then came a massive hit movie with an ensemble cast including Melissa McCarthy. This New York native has also worked on a ghost movie and a love story but one of her biggest films was with Pedro Pascal. Now the thespian is on an AppleTV+ series with Kaia Gerber, Leslie Bibb and Carol Burnett. Over the weekend the Hollywood stalwart made a rare appearance in a Pasadena, California park with her two small children. Who is she? From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The 51-year-old super quirky star got her start on Saturday Night Live decades ago. Then came a massive hit movie with an ensemble cast including Melissa McCarthy She is Kristen Wiig. Kristen and her husband Avi Rothman have two children, twins named Shiloh and Luna. They were born in January 2020 via surrogacy after Wiig and Rothman struggled with in vitro fertilization (IVF) for three years. Wiig has spoken about the 'bittersweet' journey to motherhood and the impact her children have had on her life. This comes after news Kristen is set to star alongside Bill Murray in Epiphany. Max Barbakow, the director of Epiphany, said: 'It's a rare, delightful experience when a story takes you on a journey that all at once manages to make you laugh, make you feel, and hold a mirror up to the wonderful absurdities of everyday life. 'It's even more delightful when your spirit guides are Bill Murray and Kristen Wiig. But 'Epiphany' carries that breadth of tone, depth of wisdom, and such a lush sense of cinematic possibility, all while teeing up iconic roles for two already-iconic, totally original unicorns in Kristen and Billy.' The upcoming movie centres on Favorite Ives, an heiress who is facing destitution after spending her entire fortune. The character, played by Kristen, is therefore required to find a rich husband in just two weeks, or she risks becoming homeless. Favorite's search for a rich husband leads her towards Bill's on-screen character, billionaire Oz Bell, who is wowed by her spirit and spontaneity. Despite this, their relationship proves to be very complicated. Bill and Kristen are both serving as executive producers on the comedy project, alongside Jillian Apfelbaum and Margot Hand. Bill remains one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, and the acclaimed actor recently admitted that he actually prefers to play complicated on-screen characters, because he can often relate to their failings. During an appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, he explained: 'It's always interesting when you're playing a guy who has done some damage. I know I've done some damage.' The 'Groundhog Day' star has enjoyed huge success in his career, starring in films such as 'Lost in Translation' and the 'Ghostbusters' franchise. However, Bill also confessed to being 'lazy' at different times in his career. The movie star reflected: 'I've been lazy. I don't have an agent anymore, so I'm not the first person people think of to be in studio movies.' Despite this, Bill suggested that some of his recent film projects - including 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' and 'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' - have given him a renewed sense of enthusiasm for the movie business. The veteran actor - who was a member of the 'Saturday Night Live' cast, before achieving huge success in Hollywood - explained: 'Only in this last year, doing these, has reawakened me about searching for material. 'I've lived the life of a bass … waiting for something to come down at me. If something lands in my mouth, I'll eat it.' Last year she said Wiig never thought she would be in any more Despicable Me movies. The actress voiced the role of Miss Hattie in the first installment of the animation franchise - which centres on a former supervillain turned secret agent named Gru, his adoptive daughters, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, and his yellow-colored Minions - and was delighted to be asked back to play her role in the fourth film. She told Who magazine: 'I was so happy to play Miss Hattie in the first movie, but then just kind of assumed that since the girls were adopted, I wouldn't be in any others. So, the fact that they asked me to come back and be a different character for the next three films is amazing, and working on them has been one of my favorite experiences.' The Bridesmaids star is even excited for her children to be able to see the new film because it has such a 'generational appeal' and is looking forward to sharing something with them that she has been a part of. She said: 'The kids have seen the first film and they just love Minions. So, I'm very excited to see 'Despicable Me 4' with them. It's nice to have something we can all watch together that I've been a part of. 'Given how long the franchise has been around, it has generational appeal. , I wish I had [Miss Hattie's] energy! In this film, you see her mama bear come out, and I think I'm like that with my family a little bit, too. So Lucy loves her work, but family comes first, and that's something I can relate to, for sure'
