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.

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.

This Famous 2000s Rom-Com Star Is Headed For Divorce After 15 Years Of Marriage
It's over for Dermot Mulroney and Prima Apollinaare. According to ABC News, Dermot filed for divorce from Prima on Monday, June 23, citing irreconcilable differences. The actor, best known for his roles in My Best Friend's Wedding, Friends, and Zodiac, had been married to the musician for 15 years. They share two children, daughters Mabel Ray, 17, and Sally June, 15. Dermot married Prima, who previously went by Tharita Cutulle, in 2010. It was his second marriage behind Catherine Keener, whom he split from in 2007 after 17 years of marriage and one son, Clyde Keener Mulroney, 26. In court documents, Dermot reportedly requested joint physical and legal custody of their kids. People reported that he also asked for spousal support and for the court to deny Prima from receiving it from him — however a source refuted those claims. "No one is asking for anything," the insider told People, "and no one is denying anything. They are not arguing over the children nor money." According to the source, their split is "amicable." "They used mediators, not lawyers, as they are friends and this is amicable," the source shared. "They were advised to file this way." The divorce comes just over a year after the two made a rare appearance for the Fox game show We Are Family. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Dermot gushed over how "fun" it was to perform with Prima on the show. "We both like to do karaoke together and we both like music so much," Prima added. "It was actually, for me, it was really an amazing experience to be on television and singing. Of course, with my husband, I play with him all the time in the house. We all play instruments. We have harps, guitars, ukulele, pianos, you name it. So we're all musicians, but to actually do it and just have people winning money is also very rewarding. I've been singing since I was very little and music is my heart. So it was a great experience. They made it so easy for us. We had so much fun. I wish we could do it again."

Dermot Mulroney files for divorce from Prima Apollinaare after nearly 15 years
Dermot Mulroney is ready to start a new chapter of his life. According to TMZ, the 61-year-old 'My Best Friend's Wedding' actor filed for a 'standard dissolution of marriage' from his wife, Prima Apollinaare, on June 21 in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The couple were married for nearly 15 years and share two kids — Mabel Ray, 17, and Sally June, 15. Court documents obtained by TMZ revealed that the 'Young Guns' actor requested joint physical and legal custody of their two daughters, but asked the court to deny support payments for Apollinaare. Instead, Mulroney is asking the court to grant him spousal support for the two children. People later reported that 'neither side is asking for anything, and no one is denying anything.' The outlet clarified that the estranged couple aren't arguing over the children, aren't concerned about finances, and reportedly used mediators instead of lawyers. 'They are friends and this is amicable and they were advised to file this way,' People reported. According to USA Today, Mulroney failed to disclose the couple's official date of separation, but cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the divorce. As for the couple's assets, Mulroney has stated that 'all community earnings and accumulation during marriage through the date of separation' will be considered community property, per People. Mulroney and Apollinaare started dating in 2008 — one year after his divorce from Catherine Keener. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Mabel Ray, later that year before welcoming their second daughter, Sally June, in 2009. They tied the knot in December 2010. The divorce comes more than a year after Mulroney and Apollinaare appeared together on Fox's game show 'We Are Family.' Apollinaare, an Italian-born singer-songwriter, sang 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' by the Shirelles before Mulroney, a professional cellist, joined her for a duet of 'Islands in the Stream' by Dolly Parton. After Mulroney's identity was revealed, Apollinaare revealed that they've been together for 19 years. The couple opened up about the experience in a February 2024 interview with Entertainment Weekly. 'They knew Prima's music and put together that we are this sort of secret couple even though we've been together for 20 years. Kind of a stealth Hollywood couple,' Mulroney said of the couple's duet. Apollinaare added that the pair 'like to do karaoke together and we both like music so much.' 'It is great to come out and then turn to your own spouse and sing right into their face. That was unusual. I have to say, really, really fun,' Mulroney continued. In addition to his two daughters with Apollinaare, Mulroney also shares a son Clyde, born in 1997, with Keener.

Dermot Mulroney Pulls The Cord On 14-Year Marriage With Money Move
Dermot Mulroney's marriage life is getting a serious shake-up. The actor has officially filed to end his 14-year marriage to his wife, Prima Apollinaare, and he is not leaving any stone unturned when it comes to finances. Dermot Mulroney and Prima Apollinaare tied the knot in 2008 and are parents to two daughters. The actor was previously married to actress Catherine Keener before their split in 2007. The American actor beelined it to court with one intention only- to call it quits on his union with Apollinaare. Mulroney also requested that the court order his estranged wife to pay him spousal support, but he wants to prevent her from requesting such support from him. The TV star reportedly filled in the blanks for the standard dissolution of marriage. He is currently sharing custody of their two minor kids with his estranged wife. However, TMZ reports that child support and custody talks are lurking in the shadows of their divorce. As for their mailing address, the pair reportedly still shares the same Sherman Oaks address. When the singer and Mulroney initially met, she went by the name Tharita Cutulle. According to PEOPLE, by 2015, the songwriter filed to change her name to Prima Apollinaare officially. She refused to disclose her reason for this name change, but her estranged husband seemingly got with the program when he addressed his estranged wife by her new name, "Prima," in various interviews. In their professional life, Apollinaare and her ex have collaborated on a few visual projects together. The singer was also listed as a producing partner for Mulroney's 2010 biopic, which he directed. The former couple also shares a familiar sense of humor. For Mulroney, his first name always poses a problem for people, as they usually misspell or mispronounce it. Although Mulroney won hearts for his acting prowess, he carried a burning passion for making music, just like his estranged wife. Apollinaare began her career as a solo artist in 2017 and released the music video for her debut single, "Stand Up for Love," on YouTube in December of that year. Since then, Apollinaare has added one album, two EPs, and several singles to her music catalog on Spotify. Mulroney has tried his hand at music and even succeeded while at it. In 2023, the actor spoke about his reality as a professional cellist who had performed in an orchestra for several film projects. His resume includes "Planet of the Apes" and a few movies from the "Mission Impossible" franchise. The actor starred in the 1997 flick "My Best Friend's Wedding" alongside Julia Roberts, Rupert Everett, and Cameron Diaz. While the movie performed well at the box office, Mulroney claimed it spelled doom for his career for a year. Hollywood Reporter shared that the actor confessed he was waiting for the big roles to come his way due to the movie's popularity, but nothing materialized for a long time. "I chalked it up to me being so tiny on the poster, the little guy on the cake. I thought, gosh, you guys, if you'd made me a little bigger, maybe I could have gotten a job," Mulroney explained his coping mechanism for that period in his life. The star eventually bounced back from his trying time and went on to play more roles in other big projects. The 61-year-old began his illustrious acting career in the 1980, making his mark with movies such as "Young Guns," "Longtime Companion," and "Where The Day Takes You." His role in "My Best Friend's Wedding" introduced him to a broader audience and established him as a figure in Hollywood. He subsequently appeared in other projects such as "About Schmidt" and "Zodiac," among others. He was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award in the Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture category for his role in "August: Osage County" in 2013. In 1992, the actor won the Best Actor Award for his role in "Where The Day Takes You" at the Seattle International Film Festival. Will Dermot Mulroney and Prima Apollinaare's divorce get messy?
