As the cast wrap up their 11th and final season , on Wednesday, Sofia Vergara (Gloria Prichett) gave fans a look back at the show's beginning by sharing a throwback photo with her costars - Sarah Hyland, Julie Bowen, Ariel Winter, Eric Stonestreet, Ty Burrell, Rico Rodriguez, Ed O'Neill, Nolan Gould, and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons - and comparing it to their first table read.

The Bachelorette's Hannah Brown Wants Tyler to Be "Part of Her Life," and Honestly, Same

After a whirlwind finale that left viewers wholeheartedly shook, The Bachelorette 's Hannah Brown jetted off to New York City to rehash all the drama on Good Morning America . The 24-year-old Alabama native sat down with host Michael Strahan Wednesday morning to spill the juicy details on her decision to break things off with Jed "I'm Really Proud of My Dog Food Jingle" Wyatt , why she's still excited about her future, and perhaps mostly importantly, where things stand with Tyler Cameron . Although Hannah admitted that Jed hiding his pre-show girlfriend was "a whole different level of betrayal," she explained that she doesn't regret the choices she made during her season of the ABC dating show. "I could 'What if?' and wonder what would happen if I made different choices, but ultimately . . . I found that fierce love and it's for me, and I think that's worth it all," she told Strahan.

The "Black Bonnie and Clyde" Make a Run For Freedom in the Trailer For Queen & Slim

Lena Waithe and James Frey's tale of love on the run finally has its first trailer, and it's a damn good one. Queen & Slim follows the journey of the titular characters - played by big-screen newcomer Jodie Turner-Smith and Get Out 's Daniel Kaluuya, respectively - as the two meet up for a first date that goes horrifically awry when they get pulled over for a minor traffic infraction. When the situation quickly goes left, Slim shoots a police officer in self-defense, and the two flee for their lives, setting off a perilous chain of events. Directed by well-known music video director Melina Matsoukas (who also helmed the acclaimed Master of None episode "Thanksgiving" and several episodes of Insecure ), the film calls back to dynamic film duos like Thelma and Louise and, of course, Bonnie and Clyde. But if the first look tells us anything, Queen & Slim is set to be something more than just about two people on the run for freedom; it's intended to

AGT: Simon Cowell Defended This Singer's Soulful Performance, and Damn, We're in Tears

Is there any song that Mackenzie can't make sound amazing ?! The talented singer hit the America's Got Talent stage for the second time on Tuesday night, where he belted out Journey's emotional ballad "Faithfully." Unsurprisingly, the entire audience sprang to their feet when he finished singing his final, gorgeous note, and all five judges gave him a standing ovation. "The joy with which you sang that song is undeniable," guest judge Ellie Kemper told him. "It was raw, and it was you, and I loved it!" Unfortunately, not every judge was as over the moon about his performance - Julianne Hough noted that although his talent is undeniable, this felt "pushed" when compared to the "effortless" way he sang Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" during his audition. Luckily, Simon Cowell came to Mackenzie's defense. "How can you criticize that? It's amazing!" the notoriously harsh judge said to the c

Wondering If Jane and Rafael Get Their Happy Ending on Jane the Virgin? Here's Your Answer

Warning: spoilers for Jane the Virgin below! If there's anything we can expect after five seasons of Jane the Virgin , it's a proper telenovela ending. As our well-loved narrator explains at the beginning of the series finale, "Chapter One Hundred," all telenovelas wrap up with a wedding , and fans have been waiting ages to see Jane Gloriana Villanueva and Rafael Solano tie the damn knot. Well, rest assured, "Jafael" fans, the wedding does occur. But in true Jane the Virgin fashion, there are some unexpected bumps in the road before the two take their romantic walk down the aisle! Related: Jane the Virgin Ends on a Sweet Note - Here's What Happens to All Your Favorite Characters "Chapter One Hundred" begins with our final look back at a young Jane as she, Xiomara, and Alba watch the closing minutes of their favorite telenovela.

Let's Discuss That Adorable Mateo Reveal in the Jane the Virgin Series Finale

Warning: spoilers for Jane the Virgin below! Pretty much ever since its premiere in 2014, fans of Jane the Virgin have theorized about the show's "Latin Lover Narrator." While it's known who voices him in real life - Dominican-American voice actor Anthony Mendez - many have suspected that, in the end, he'd be revealed to be someone important in Jane's life. Although I personally have always been partial to the idea that the mystery identity of the narrator would be Alba's late husband and Jane's grandfather, the OG Mateo, looking down on everyone, the show's series finale FINALLY confirms who the actual narrator is: an adult version of Jane's son, Mateo! This is first teased back in the season three finale, when Xiomara is about to marry Rogelio and Alba and Jane are helping her prep for the ceremony. Alba tells her daughter how much she loves her, saying, "If your father were alive, I know he'd be so proud of the woman you a

By the time the sun sets on our final glimpse of Jane and Rafael, all of the major characters have reached satisfying conclusions for their arcs, leaving things on a hopeful, bittersweet note. It's kind of wild to think an accidental artificial insemination led us all the way here, huh? Ahead, see where everyone ends up by the time the credits start to roll in "Chapter One Hundred."

There Is a School That Teaches Humans How to Move Like Cats, and Idris Elba Went There

It's safe to say we weren't the only ones who found the Cats trailer both confusing and slightly terrifying (it's the tails, OK.) There are countless celebrities starring in the remake, including Taylor Swift , Jennifer Hudson , Ian McKellen, and Idris Elba. But playing a cat isn't as easy at it sounds, and turns out, the cast had to go to cat school . Elba stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to chat about his current projects, and while Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw got a mention - mostly about costars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham teasing him on set for playing Macavity - most of the conversation revolved around Cats . When asked what the movie was about, it took Elba a hot minute to even explain the storyline: "I guess it's about a cat," he said, prompting comments on YouTube like "Petition to make the Cats official tagline be 'Does anyone know what the story is?'" Complex storyline or not, we'

This 15-Year-Old Sang an Incredible Cover of "Never Enough," and OMG, That High Note

Olina Loau put on "the greatest show" during Monday night's episode of Australia's Got Talent . The 15-year-old student from Western Sydney brought her parents along for her powerhouse cover of "Never Enough" that wowed judges Nicole Scherzinger, Shane Jacobson, Manu Feildel, and Lucy Durack, and left host, Ricki-Lee, in tears. Loua's Greatest Showman song choice is certainly a challenging one, as Scherzinger noted before Loua kicked off her performance. However, once she opened her mouth, it became clear she was up to the task. She belted out the tune originally sung by Loren Allred for the film, eventually earning a coveted golden buzzer from Ricki-Lee. Watch the full performance above to see exactly why the audience and judges were so blown away. Warning: you'll likely have the song stuck in your head all day. https://ift.tt/2GCIoGs

This is not a drill, folks: Netflix's latest drama features a combination of talents that may in fact blow your mind. Academy Award winners Robert De Niro , Al Pacino , and Joe Pesci star in the streamer's upcoming film The Irishman , directed by the one and only Martin Scorsese . The film, which uses digital effects and makeup to de-age the actors to a dark witchcraft-like degree, follows De Niro as Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, a World War II veteran and labor union leader who allegedly became a hitman for the Bufalino crime family and played a role in the disappearance of union activist Jimmy Hoffa. Pacino stars as the notoriously mob-connected union boss Hoffa, with a supporting cast that includes Anna Paquin , Bobby Cannavale, Ray Romano, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Harvey Keitel.

Jane the Virgin Is at an End, but a Spinoff Is on the Way! Here's What You Need to Know

The Fab Five of Netflix's Queer Eye - Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Bobby Berk - have formed a strong bond through their work on the show , but how well do they really know each other? Well, their friendship was put to the test on Tuesday in a round of "Know Your Fab Five" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . During the game, Antoni, Tan, and Jonathan took turns wearing a pair of noise-canceling headphones, while the others answered a question about whoever couldn't hear.

Bad News, Criminal Minds Fans: Season 13 Is Probably Never Coming to Netflix

Season 15 of Criminal Minds is almost upon us, friends, and no, we're not ready for it. If you're still trying to get caught up on the show and wonder why seasons 13 and 14 aren't on Netflix yet, well, it's probably because they never will be. As eager as we are to reunite with all of our favorite members of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit as they take down Everett "Chameleon" Lynch (the bad guy introduced at the end of season 14), the 15th season will also be the show's last .

Bow Down - The Crown Season 3 Will Reportedly Arrive on Netflix in November

It's been nearly two years since we were dropped into the complex, controversial, and always captivating inner life of Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of the royal family in season two of The Crown . Fortunately, Netflix's historical drama, which has been filming season three over the past year, is set to return this Fall. And, according to star Tobias Menzies, the wait won't be as long as we initially anticipated. Menzies, who has replaced Matt Smith as Prince Philip now that the series is jumping forward in time, was being interviewed on Jo Good's BBC radio show when he revealed that the third installment of the Emmy-winning drama will drop in just a few months. "We shot season three, and that starts in November," he said. Netflix has yet to officially confirm the news, of course, so there's always a chance The Crown won't come back until early December, like season two. Either way, we can't wait to see what the new cast will do with the

After What Feels Like Forever, the Trailer For Mindhunter's Second Season Has Arrived

The wait is over: after nearly two years, the second season of Netflix's Mindhunter is arriving on Aug. 16 , and a new trailer finally offers insight into the serial killer stories to come. The forthcoming season will predominantly focus on the Atlanta Child Murders , during which an estimated 24 children and six adult men were kidnapped and murdered between 1979 and 1981. Continuing the season one premise, however, agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench will also interview apprehended serial killers, including Ed Kemper and Charles Manson, to gain insight into ongoing investigations. Cameron Britton will reprise his chilling portrayal of Kemper , while Damon Herriman will make his Mindhunter debut as Manson. In fact, Herriman just portrayed the '60s cult leader in Quentin Tarantino 's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood .
