Oliver Hudson couldn't help but troll younger sister Kate Hudson's risqué Instagram post - because what's a sibling relationship without the occasional roast? On May 30, Kate shared a series of poolside Memorial Day weekend photos wearing nothing but thong-style bikini bottoms and a straw hat. "Suns out, buns (and huns) out," she captioned the post, adding the hashtag "#summerready."
In the first picture, she poses topless in the backyard of her California home holding a book - soon-to-be-adapted bestseller "Lessons in Chemistry," for the bookworms - and in the last snap, she turns around to show off just how cheeky her swimsuit is. The Instagram gallery also includes peeks at her partner, Danny Fujikawa, and their 4-year-old daughter, Rani Rose.
Shortly after Kate posted the footage, her brother swooped in to tease her. "Jesus no Kate!" he commented, to which she responded, "Summers just begun Oliver… it's gonna get wild.

Fans of British television and murder mysteries, in general, will be delighted to hear Midsomer Murders Series 20 is now available on not one, but two incredible streaming services in the U.S.
For a show to last that long, you know it has to be good, and I can attest Midsomer Murders is well worth watching.
If you haven't started watching yet, now is the perfect time to start, especially for completionists like me because every episode is now available to watch from start to finish.
Called “Phenomenally enjoyable… this show has only gotten better and better through the years” (Paper magazine) and easily one of the world’s most popular detective series, Midsomer Murders has entertained audiences for more than two decades after premiering in 1997.
Inspired by the novels of Caroline Graham, modern master of the English village mystery, the ongoing series stars Neil Dudgeon as Detective Chief Inspector John Barnaby.

Midsomer Murders is one of the most popular series in British television history, and Acorn TV has offered up a surprise announcement that the 20th season is now available in its U.S. Premiere. The 20th season features six episodes: The Ghost of Causton Abbey, Death of the Small Coppers, Drawing Dead, The Lions of Causton, ‘Til Death Do Us Part, and Send in the Clowns. It’s a show that has obviously evolved over the course of its impressive run, but it has always seemed a show that takes a serious look at itself, and has thus only improved with age. Inspired by the novels of Caroline Graham, the series stars Neil Dudgeon as Detective Chief Inspector John Barnaby and Nick Hendrix as Detective Sergeant Jamie Winter. Anglophiles have long loved the show that not only offers a pointedly British viewpoint with respect to its own genre, but also...

Updated: U.S. streaming services Acorn TV and BritBox are to air episodes of long-running British crime drama Midsomer Murders ahead of their debut in the UK – a surprising coup for the Svod platforms.
This comes after the two companies snapped up a deal with All3Media International to acquire the 20th season of the Bentley Productions crime drama. Acorn began airing episodes on May 3, while BBC and ITV-backed BritBox will begin airing episodes from the latest season in the U.S. on May 4. Both will appear before they air on commissioning broadcaster ITV, which has still yet to air all of the episodes from season 19.
Based on Caroline Graham’s book series and originally adapted by Anthony Horowitz, the long-running mystery follows the efforts of Detective Chief Inspector John Barnaby, played by Neil Dudgeon, as he solves crimes that occur in the wealthy, isolated English county of Midsomer. While...

The jewelry you wear can say a lot about you. For instance, any good fashion girl knows that looking expensive has less to do with the price tag of your clothes and more to do with the quality of your jewelry. Perhaps that's why Ariel Gordon Maffei, the CEO and designer of Ariel Gordon Jewelry, focuses on timeless designs that are intended to be passed down as family heirlooms. So what makes a piece of jewelry so special? To find out, we met up with the UCLA grad-turned-entrepreneur at her downtown La studio space. What was your first job? My first job out of college was for a marketing firm founded by Caroline Graham, who was a titan in the magazine world. She was the West...

Inspector George Gently
By Kieran Kinsella
With most of the nation under extreme heat advisories there has never been a better time to close the curtains, crank up the A/C and power up the DVD player. You can begin your summer TV-fest by watching Acorn Media’s George Gently series 4. Gently is utterly captivating. It’s set in the same dreary North Eastern corner of England as ITV’s Vera but unlike that show, Gently is set in the swinging sixties rather than the present time. Both shows tackle hard hitting subjects but George Gently isn’t as soul destroyingly depressing as Vera.
Series 4 consists of two feature length episodes. The first centers around a group of teenage girls who are desperate to enjoy the new found freedoms of the era regardless of their parent’s concerns. Things change pretty quickly when one of the girls is murdered. Gently...

Producer Of British TV Show “Midsomer Murders” Suspended For Saying Minorities Wouldn’t Work In Cast
“We just don’t have ethnic minorities involved. Because it wouldn’t be the English village with them. It wouldn’t work. Fans love the perceived English genreel eccentricity. It’s not British. It’s very English. We’re the last bastion of Englishness and I want to keep it that way.”
That’s what British producer Brian True-May said in an interview with Radio Times about his popular TV show Midsomer Murders–airing on the ITV1 Network in Britain–that ultimately resulted in his suspension. He also stated that multiculturalism “would just look out of place” in the show.
The show, a suspenseful whodunnit series, is based on books by Caroline Graham. It’s one of many shows on the network that, as The Hollywood Reporter states, “…hark to a bygone era of all-white Englishness despite their contemporary setting.”
True-May understood his comments were not politically correct and believes...

On September 28, Acorn Media brings Us fans the sixteenth(?!) set of the highly popular Midsomer Murders. You may have seen it on A&E or Biography Channel, but these four episodes have never been broadcast in America. Let’s take a look at the newest volume of this series which has been going strong since March 1997.
The Show
Color me impressed. Midsomer Murders has turned out more than seventy-five episodes since its debut, and is still in production – a feat considering most British series can produce as few as four episodes per series (compared to the Us standard of somewhere between thirteen and twenty-two). The cast has remarkably remained almost the same since its 1997 debut, except for the addition of Jason Hughes (best known as Warren in the groundbreaking series This Life) in 2005. What American show would be so lucky as to have the same cast for thirteen years?
As the title implies,...

hollywoodnews.com: Ed Limato, 73, one of the most legendary Hollywood talent agents ever, died on Saturday after a long illness. Ed, a bon vivant who lived in splendor in a Beverly Hills mansion with a massive, rolling lawn, was one of a kind.
It was in March 2001 that Ed Limato gave what was probably the best of his famous Oscar parties. I attended as a guest of the great Caroline Graham. We were working on a Talk magazine Oscar issue. Remember Talk magazine?
Anyway, I chronicled the night in two columns. They can be found here:

Ride With The Devil (Criterion) Ang Lee’s revisionist take on the Civil War is awash in moral ambiguity, along with some stunning cinematography, production design, and fine performances. Set during the Kansas-Missouri border war, Tobey Maguire and Skeet Ulrich star as two friends who join up with the Confederate-sympathizing Bushwhackers, finding an odd ally in a former slave (Jeffrey Wright). While it’s fascinating to see America’s bloodiest conflict through the eyes of a foreigner, thereby allowing much of the previously mentioned ambiguity a certain latitude, the film never loses the bad taste it leaves for one simple reason: it asks us, the audience, to side with not just the Confederates, but some of the lowest trash that made up the dregs, and the fringes, of the movement. Big points for audacity, but snake eyes on the story itself. Singer Jewel is impressive in her film debut.

The Hurt Locker (Summit Entertainment) Absorbing character study follows the leader (Jeremy Renner) of a bomb squad unit in Iraq and his growing addiction to the adrenaline-fueled life and death edge that he and his men must walk on a daily basis. Director Kathryn Bigelow, an unheralded great filmmaker for nearly two decades, has finally hit paydirt with this gut-wrenching examination of war as drug, as opposed to hell. That said, The Hurt Locker is 2/3 of a great movie that takes a wild left turn in a subplot involving Renner’s character and that of a local boy to whom he takes a shine, and never quite recovers its momentum. In spite of that hiccup, it remains one of the best films of 2009 and, thus far, the finest cinematic exploration of America’s war in the Middle East. Also available on Blu-ray disc, in...

Haunting film from Sweden is best described as The 400 Blows meets Nosferatu, and contains some of the most haunting imagery of any film in recent memory. Truly a unique and memorable work. Bonuses: Deleted scenes; Featurette; Photo and poster gallery. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.
Paramount Centennial Collection Paramount offers two more classic titles, restored, remastered and loaded with extras. Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch A Thief stars Cary Grant as a retired jewel thief trying to enjoy his sunset years on the French Riviera with a minimum of drama, until he catches the eye of a high-maintenance heiress (Grace Kelly,...
