SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher was criticized on Monday after it became public that she traveled to Italy for a Dolce & Gabbana fashion event over the weekend despite the guild’s ongoing contract talks with studios.
The trip became publicly known after Kim Kardashian, who also attended the event, posted a photo with Drescher on Instagram.
Guild reps didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from TheWrap, but in a statement to The Ankler, SAG-AFTRA said, “President Drescher is working as a brand ambassador for Dolce and Gabbana on location in Italy. This was a commitment fully known to the negotiating committee. She has been in negotiations every day either in person or via videoconference. President Drescher is managing a physically demanding schedule across three time zones, overseeing negotiations and working on location daily as well as managing her parents’ needs in Fl.

Amid pivotal contract talks, Fran Drescher found time for couture over the weekend in Italy.
With days to go before the expiration of SAG-AFTRA’s current TV/theatrical contracts package, the union president was spotted in Italy attending Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda festivities, a starry event held in Puglia, a Southern region known for ancient olive trees and referred to as the heel of Italy’s “boot.” There, Drescher joined Kim Kardashian, Helen Mirren, Kerry Washington, Angela Bassett, Christian Bale, Anitta, Kris Jenner and hundreds of other guests for a swirl that featured back-to-back glamorous events over five days, including a concert by Diana Ross.
Though it’s unclear how many events Drescher attended or how long she was in Italy, she did attend Sunday’s closing show, as confirmed by Kardashian to 362 million Instagram followers with a post that featured the two in a candid moment and...

After spending three seasons in Colombia, Netflix’s drug trafficking drama is heading to Mexico. Narcos: Mexico will feature new characters including roles played by Michael Pena and Diego Luna.
Netflix unveiled the first look at Pena and Luna’s characters today. Luna (right) is set to play Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo but he goes by only one name: Felix. He is the leader of the Guadalajara cartel, one of the biggest narcos in the history of Mexico and the founder of the modern Mexican drug trade. Quiet but bold, inscrutable but sharp-minded, to all appearances he is a benevolent leader, loyal to his friends, associates, and employees…but his ambition comes before all else.

"Why are you here... after all this time? Why now?" Netflix has released the first official trailer for an indie dramedy titled Like Father, the directorial debut of Lauren Miller Rogen, a talented comedian / actress / writer who is also Seth Rogen's wife. The film is about a workaholic woman who, after being dumped at the altar, decides to take her honeymoon cruise with her estranged father who she hasn't seen since she was a kid. Of course, there's funny things that happen but then they realize how similar they are. Kristen Bell stars as Rachel, with Kelsey Grammer as her father, with a cast including Seth Rogen, Brittany Ross, Zach Appelman, Danielle Davenport, Lenny Jacobson, Wynter Kullman, and Brian McCarthy.

The network really wants to keep fans on their toes with that show (which also has new showrunners). Whatever. Fans will follow it wherever it goes, even if it gets traded to CBS like a network fantasy league.

Big Time in Hollywood, Fl, the story of two would-be filmmaker brothers attempting to extort $20,000 from their own mom and dad — and thus getting entangled in a number of high-profile criminal activities — is unlike anything Comedy Central has ever done. Melding slapstick and drama, season one saw characters Jack (Alex Anfanger) and Ben (Lenny Jacobson) robbing a house with Cuba Gooding Jr., talking to Jason Alexander about human trafficking, and fulfilling their dreams of stardom in the most perverse way (with a fake movie starring a chimp). We spoke to Jacobson about how the show’s finale came together, what we can expect if it gets picked up for season two, and who was really responsible for Jason Alexander saying “Fuck Seinfeld” in the penultimate episode. Spoilers for the finale ahead!So, let’s talk about that finale. I read the script for the finale and was like, “Oh this...

Comedy Central's comedy lineup features some true standouts, but only one show stars Cuba Gooding Jr... as himself. "Big Time in Hollywood, Fl," produced by Ben Stiller and created by Alex Anfanger and Dan Schimpf (who first worked with Stiller on the digital series "Next Time... On Lonny"), features Alex Anfanger and Lenny Jacobson as the Dolfe brothers, whose love of filmmaking drags them into the seedy underground of their Florida town. In this exclusive clip, we get a look at one of the films Jack and Ben Dolfe have been making — "Monkey Largo," an intense action flick that might feel familiar to any "Miami Vice" fans. What "Monkey Largo" might lack in production quality, it makes up for in bullets, blood and (as you might suspect) a chimp. Watch the clip above. "Big Time in Hollywood, Fl" airs Wednesdays at 10:30pm on Comedy Central. Read More: 'Inside Amy.

But let me confess this right now: I love their sweet buddy Del the best. Possibly a bit too much. And I didn’t mind admitting it to Jon Bass, who plays him.

Airs Wednesdays at 10:30 pm Et on Comedy Central, starting March 25
Over the years, Comedy Central has brought a number of comedians to the small screen with their own show, whether it’s Amy Schumer, Nick Kroll, or Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer. The latest duo to join that company is Dan Schimpf and Alex Anfanger, the team behind the webseries Next Time on Lonny. Their new show, Big Time in Hollywood, Fl, premieres tonight on Comedy Central, and the pilot promises an offbeat show that unexpectedly follows through on storylines while not forcing their main characters to be likeable.
The central concept of Big Time in Hollywood, Fl revolves around a delusional brotherly duo who barely work, choosing instead to spend their time making short videos that they’re sure will land them their big filmmaking break.

The latest duo to join that company is Dan Schimpf and Alex Anfanger, the team behind the webseries Next Time on Lonny. Their new show, Big Time in Hollywood, Fl, premieres tonight on Comedy Central, and the pilot promises an offbeat show that unexpectedly follows through on storylines while not forcing their main characters to be likeable.
The central concept of Big Time in Hollywood, Fl revolves around a delusional brotherly duo who barely work, choosing instead to spend their time making short videos that they’re sure will land them their big filmmaking break.

Previously-commenced shooting be damned, Jobs continues to expand its (surprisingly decent) cast with reckless abandon. Continuing such a surprising amount of decency, according to Variety, are J.K. Simmons, Kevin Dunn (Transformers), Elden Henson (Déjà Vu), Victor Rasuk (Che, Being Flynn), Lenny Jacobson (Celeste and Jesse Forever), and Giles Matthey (True Blood).
In order, Simmons will appear as Arthur Rock, a venture capitalist who took a chance on Apple; Dunn will be seen as the company’s chairman, Gil Amelio; Henson has been locked to play an Apple developer, Andy Hertzfeld; Rasuk is Bill Fernandez, the first Apple employee and one of their user interface architects; Jacobson has landed the part of Burrell Smith, an engineer; and Matthey has some big shoes to fill Jonathan Ive, the designer of the iPod.
