Meghan Markle's Latest Podcast Ploy On Shaky Ground After 'Toxic' Drama, Bitter Disputes: Expert The viral moment came to light after Markle recalled a time during the pandemic when she was experimenting with boxed hair dye. However, what she ended up with was far from the look she had imagined. "So, my family had justmoved to California. We were staying in our friend's home. And because it was the pandemic, I kept ordering boxed hair dye. And I thought, 'I'm gonna look just like she does on the box,'" Markle said during the April 22 episode of her "Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan"podcast.

Markle compared her look to the gothic glam that Elvira made famous for decades. Her hair horror story prompted a reaction from the queen of Halloween herself. In 2020,the Duke and Duchess of Sussexstepped back as senior royals and moved to California. The couple cited the intrusive U.K. press and a lack of support from the palace as reasons for the move. Since then, they've welcomed two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Today, the couple call the wealthy, coastal city of Montecito home.

Jesse Tyler Ferguson details the forgotten roots of “Modern Family”'s mockumentary style: 'We never explained why'

Jesse Tyler Ferguson details the forgotten roots of "Modern Family"'s mockumentary style: 'We never explained why'

Eric McCandless via Getty Just Shoot Me!andShrinkingstarWendie Malickmade a recent appearance onJesse Tyler Ferguson's podcastDinner's on Meto talk about her lengthy career and eat a tuna melt. The pair have known each other for a while, with Ferguson guesting onHot in Clevelandand Malick appearing onModern Family. Reflecting on the 11 seasons of Pritchett family adventures, Ferguson let listeners in on a forgotten fact about the celebrated series that won 22 Primetime Emmys during its run. "[The reason] it was a mockumentary, although we never explained this, was a very early version ofModern Familyhad a foreign exchange student that had stayed with Mitchell, my character, and [Julie Bowen's] Claire when we were young," he explained. "And he was coming back to do a documentary about this family he lived with when he was a kid, and the title of it wasMy American Family." Frazer Harrison/Getty Ferguson continued, "They ended up cutting that character and then renaming itModern Family. But the construct of it still being a mockumentary was there, but we never explained why." He added that "in the very early seasons, we would really try and hold onto the reality that we were with a film crew," which has us itching to fire up Peacock and do a close compare and contrast of early episodes to later ones. Malick, probably echoing what all of us would say if we parachuted in for a season 11 guest shot like she did, said, "I don't even remember thinking about that." Sign up forEntertainment Weekly's free daily newsletterto get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more. Ferguson noted, "If you watch early episodes, it's like, 'Oh, it actually is feasible that this is a reality show.' And then season five, six is just, like, we're opening our doors coming home from getting groceries and there's a camera crew in our house, and no one questions that." By the timeModern Familylaunched in 2009,The Officehad been using the mockumentary style for four years, so most viewers were already attuned to the situational grammar, if we may use an egghead term. The Office, of course, was not the first to play in this comedy sandbox. Neither was the British version ofThe Office, which launched in 2001, though that was among the first television series to run with it. Sketch comedy shows, particularlyMonty Python's Flying Circus, haddeployedthegimmickseveraltimes. ABC On film, some great examples of the technique includeThis Is Spinal Tap, Rob Reiner's classic parody of rock & roll culture from 1984, which is actually getting a long-awaited sequel later this year.Christopher Guest,Tap's lead guitarist and backing vocalist Nigel Tufnel, picked up the schtick with several other movies in the style, most famouslyWaiting for GuffmanandBest in Show. ButSpinal Tapwas also far from the first. Back in 1969,Woody Allendirected and starred inTake the Money and Run, a parody of a crime exposé. More relevant toModern Familythough is surelyAlbert Brooks'Real Life, a 1979 comedy that was a spin on what a "making of" documentary about a modern family would look like. It was released six years after the debut of the very real PBS documentaryAn American Family, in which a crew was embedded with theLoudfamily of Santa Barbara, Calif. — an early example of what we'd now call reality TV. This trailer forReal Lifedoes a terrible job of selling what the movie is, but it's pretty indicative of Brooks' style of humor.

Jussie Smollett to make charitable donations to settle Chicago's hoax attack lawsuit

Jussie Smollett to make charitable donations to settle Chicago's hoax attack lawsuit

Weeks after the city of Chicago andJussie Smollettannounceda settlementto resolve their yearslong legal battle over the actor's 2019 claim that he was the victim of a hate crime, Smollett took to social media to disclose the terms of the agreement. Smollett said Friday he would donate $50,000 to the Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts charity as part of a deal to secure the case's dismissal. Smollett said would be making an additional $10,000 donation to the Chicago Torture Justice Center. NBC News reached out to Building Brighter Futures Center for the Arts and the city of Chicago to confirm Smollett's donations and details of the settlement, but did not immediately receive a response to a request for comment. Chicago Torture Justice Center confirmed Smollett's donation in anInstagram postFriday. The actor said his decision to settle the civil suit was "not the most difficult" to make and allowed him to support the communities "too often neglected by those in power." Smollett, who is Black and gay,first reporteda hate crime committed against him in January 2019, alleging that two men confronted him with racial and homophobic slurs, wrapped a rope around his neck and poured bleach on him. However, police and city officials later said he orchestrated thehoax hate crime against himself. The city's suit accused Smollett of submitting a false police report on Jan. 29, 2019, saying he knew his attackers and planned the attack, and it sought $130,000 in expenses spent on the police investigation. Smollett countersued, denying that he orchestrated the attack. BrothersOlabingo and Abimbola Osundairo,who worked on the "Empire" set, said they were paid by Smollett to stage the hate crime and testified against the actor during his trial. Smollett wasfound guilty on five countsof felony disorderly conduct in December 2021, andsentenced to 150 days in jailand 30 months' probation in March 2022, but the Illinois Supreme Courtoverturned the convictionin November 2024 over prosecutorial issues. The state high court ruled that Smollett should have never been charged in the first place after entering a nonprosecution agreement with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office. Smollett has maintained his innocence over the years. He ended his post thanking his supporters.
