First Teaser Trailer for Nine Perfect Strangers, Starring Nicole Kidman, Released
On Sunday, Hulu released the first teaser trailer for its new series Nine Perfect Strangers, starring Nicole Kidman. The new limited series is based on the 2018 Liane Moriarty novel Nine Perfect Strangers. Nicole Kidman is also producing the series alongside show creators John Henry Butterworth and David E. Kelley—who also adapted Moriarty’s Big Little Lies for television. Kidman plays Masha, a wellness resort director who leads 9 stressed-out city dwellers through a 10-day retreat that is meant to help them become more centered and feel more in control of their lives. But Masha’s methods turn out to be quite unconventional. The show will also star Melissa McCarthy, Bobby Cannavale, Luke Evans, Michael Shannon, and Regina Hall. The release date has yet to be announced.
Ashland County Bookcase Project Gives Out 80 Bookcases Filled with Books
The Ashland County Bookcase Project for Every Child—run through the Ashland County-West Holmes Career Center—has constructed and filled 80 bookcases this year. The goal is to give out the shelves to preschool children getting ready to go into kindergarten to help them “discover the joy of reading and the basic reading skills needed to enter school.” In previous years, the program has given out 60 shelves, but this year, they have constructed an extra 20 to make up for missing last year due to the pandemic. Dr. Julia Wright, who started the program 10 years ago, explained, “We give all brand new books to the children. They get more than 50 brand new books in their bookcase…They also get a reading buddy, a stuffed animal for them to snuggle with while their parent or older brother or sister reads to them. This year’s reading buddy will be Winnie the Pooh.”
Meghan Markle & Prince Harry’s Tell-All Biography Gets an Update
Last year, royal experts Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand published a tell-all biography about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry called Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family. Now, less than a year later, the authors have announced that they’re releasing an updated version of the biography with brand-new chapters. These new chapters will cover Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey, allegations that Meghan bullied royal staff, and Prince Philip’s death. It should be noted that Meghan and Harry are not officially connected to the biography. In July before the first edition of the book was released, a spokesperson for Meghan and Harry released a statement on their behalf, which read: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were not interviewed and did not contribute to Finding Freedom. This book is based on the authors’ own experiences as members of the royal press corps and their own independent reporting.” The updated version of the book should be out this summer.
