Nazanin Boniadi, who played Bronwyn in The Rings of Power, won’t return for the second season. She stepped away from acting in 2022 to “focus solely on the #WomanLifeFreedom uprising in Iran and to advocate for the people of my homeland who have been risking everything for freedom.” However, she also notes that her decision to leave Rings of Power had nothing to do with her advocacy. She offers no reason for her exit other than to say, “Throughout my career, the values I have held most dear are honesty, empathy and integrity. My character Bronwyn was committed to these same ideals in striving for a fairer world, which is why I connected so deeply with her.” Make of that what you’d like. (THR) (Instagram)

Bad Boys is one of my guilty pleasures. I couldn’t even count how many times I’ve seen the first one. I love it. The second one, not so much. The third one? Yes, much better.

One reality TV couple who’s withstood the test of time, Trista and Ryan of the very first Bachelorette oh so many years ago, evidently sent fans into a tizzy over Trista’s absence from the family and Ryan’s cryptic IG writings. OHNO, are they splitting up? Is Trista walking away from her family and into the ocean? Good god, after all of these years, how do people not put 2+2 together and come up with “filming a reality show, probably a Survivor-esque show, maybe even Survivor”? - (Cosmopolitan)
