It's also, notably, Lola Tung's first major role since The Summer I Turned Pretty. During a Q&A after the film, she talked about the contrast between the two roles. Dressed in a black lingerie top with a black skirt and a black cape, like she was ready to go into the woods and conduct a sacrifice, she quipped, 'I mean, I don't know, Cousins is pretty dangerous.'

Probably the threesome was the most standout moment. I remember being like, 'Oh, my mom's going to call me after this one.' The scene was teased in racy promotional ads and immediately sparked protests, with the Parents Television Council expressing concerns about the content.

I was pretty taken aback and felt just sad. It sucks to read something that's not true. And it sucks on behalf of, like, six women and all of their lives.

For free, you could play on the Disney website (now miraculously semi-intact here) and take a virtual tour through Lizzie McGuire's closet. Much like Lizzie herself, you too could build a wardrobe of the most radioactively insane outfits. Floral-print midi skirt and leopard-print top. Pink tank top with a tie-dye heart and a teeny denim skirt with a brown fringe belt. Spiky half-updo with a purple headband. A red purse with a photo of a bunch of dogs on it. (Lizzie did not have a dog.)

In 2022, Jennette McCurdy released her memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died, a brutally honest portrait of her life as a former child star, her battle with eating disorders, and, as the title would suggest, her rather complicated relationship with her mother.

Over the past year, viewers fiercely debated the YA love triangle of The Summer I Turned Pretty and found steamy inspiration in the hockey romance Heated Rivalry. So perhaps it's no wonder that Netflix's Finding Her Edge - a show about the criss-crossing passions of Olympics-bound, ice-dancing teens - debuted to such fervid viewership. The series scored a swift renewal and, as of writing, is the streamer's No. 3 TV title globally.

Witherspoon (who serves as executive producer with Hello Sunshine) took to Instagram to share footage of her calling the prequel series' young cast, including Lexi Minetree as the titular teen. "You all crushed Season 1 of Elle. It is so good, it is so funny, it is so real. And I think people are going to love it so much," she told the stars, before revealing that Elle will premiere on July 1.

Whatever you might think you're going to get from the familiar setup of Jennette McCurdy's Half His Age (a lonely high-school girl in Anchorage begins an extremely questionable sexual relationship with her teacher), any presumptions are dispelled from the very first page. When Waldo, the teenage narrator of the novel, observes her boyfriend's "slimy tongue that loop-de-loops over and over like a carnival ride, mechanical and passionless," she's setting a tone: irreverent, graphic, bilious.

"I don't know if I should say this or not, but I know that the internet had this big thing that went on about... that this is really, like, a lesbian love story," she said. "I'm just wondering why Disney didn't wanna follow up with the number two, 'cause 100%, it seems like it would've gone in a great direction for the sequel."

We obviously grew up together and spent a lot of time on camera together, she said. To not have that for 20 years and work with different people and have all these different experiences, and then come back together? Oh my god, I remember how much I know you on camera and you know me on camera.' It's so special, and it was so much fun because we work really well together.
