Arturo Holmes/Getty ; Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty The Summer I Turned Prettyfollows a tumultuous love triangle between two brothers and their childhood friend during a summer that changes everything, but in real life, many of the show's cast members are in happy, long-term relationships. The third and final season of the Prime Video show, which premiered on July 16, will finally answer the question fans who haven't read Jenny Han's popular book series have been eager to find out: who will Isabella "Belly" Conklin end up with, Conrad Fisher, or his younger brother, Jeremiah? The two boys are played byChristopher BrineyandGavin Casalegno, respectively, and both actors are in committed relationships in real life. Briney has been dating his girlfriend,Isabel Machado, since 2021, and Casalegnohard-launched his wife,Cheyanne King Casalegno, after their November 2024 nuptials with a sweetInstagrampost captioned, "FOREVER CAPTIVATED BY YOU🕊️." From Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno to leading actressLola Tung, here's everything to know about the real-life loves ofThe Summer I Turned Prettycast. Sean Zanni/WireImage Lola Tung stars asThe Summer I Turned Pretty's main character, Isabella "Belly" Conklin. Though she's in the throes of a love triangle in the teen drama, Tung is single in real life. As far as who her character will end up with, Tung toldEntertainment Tonightin June 2022 that she believes Belly will make the right choice for herself. "I've always been Team Belly, and I believe that she should go with whoever she loves the most, whatever her heart [says]," the actress shared. "Follow her heart, see where it ends up. They're both very wonderful boys, and she has a hard decision to make." Daniele Venturelli/Getty In the show, Christopher Briney plays Conrad Fisher, one of Belly's two love interests. In real life, the actor has been in a dedicated relationship with Isabel Machado since they began dating in June 2021, a few years after they met while attending Pace University. In October 2023, Briney explained to PEOPLE that the couple were friends before they began dating, and that's how they knew a romantic relationship would work. "We were friends first," he said. "We went to college together and we lived together. We knew that we could do it." Jamie McCarthy/Getty Gavin Casalegno has playedThe Summer I Turned Pretty's Jeremiah Fisher — Conrad's younger brother and Belly's other love interest — since the start of the show in 2022. In the time since, he married his wife, Cheyanne King Casalegno. The couple kept their relationship under wraps until the end of 2024, when they shared photos from their November wedding on Instagram. Before tying the knot with his registered nurse wife, the actor spoke toCosmopolitanin June 2023 about the intentionality he put into dating and how marriage had always been the end goal for him. "Being an adult, I've learned what it means to just mature a little bit in the dating space," Casalegno began. "You're dating to marry, you're not dating to just date. I think that gets lost a lot of times in younger generations." He continued, "I really try to be intentional with everything that I do as far as spending my time and gift giving and flirting and all these things." Patrick McMullan via Getty Sean Kaufmanplays Belly's brother Steven inThe Summer I Turned Pretty. Though he isn't in a romantic relationship, Kaufman has spoken about how he values the bromances he's made on the show, especially with Briney and Casalegno. In June 2022, he toldSeventeen, "I love these two to death — they have become two of my closest friends over the past year, and I'm extremely thankful for that." "We've got so much in common," the actor continued. "The three of us are crazy. I love them, we still hang out all the time whenever Gavin's in New York." Craig Barritt/Getty Jackie Chungstars as Belly and Steven's mom, Laurel, inThe Summer I Turned Pretty, and in contrast to her single-parent character, Chung is married to fellow actor Louis Ozawa in real life. It's unclear when they wed, but the couple met while filming a short film at New York University. Now, they share two children: Bodi and Tyrus. Speaking toForbesin April 2020 about the origin of their relationship, Ozawa said, "Jackie and I met at the callback. They paired the male leads with the female leads. It was kind of a bizarre romantic comedy." Craig Barritt/Getty Rachel Blanchard, who portrays Conrad and Jeremiah's mom Susannah, is married to Emmy-nominated composer Jeremy Turner. Together, they share a daughter, Maxine. Michael Kovac/Getty Rain Spencerplays Belly's best friend, Taylor, inThe Summer I Turned Pretty. The actress is not currently romantically linked with anyone. Elyse Jankowski/Getty Summer Madison portrays Nicole, Belly's big sister for the debutante ball and Conrad's season 1 love interest, inThe Summer I Turned Pretty,and like Spencer, she's currently believed to be single. Karwai Tang/WireImage Playing Cam, a Cousins Beach local and Belly's first boyfriend, inThe Summer I Turned Pretty, David Iacono seems to be single — and, as of 2022, had sworn off dating apps. "I don't use it at all anymore, but I think my bio on Tinder was like 'Wait, this isn't cool math games?' I thought that was funny," he toldPopSugarin June 2022. "I do not like dating apps," Iacono added. "They creep me out." Read the original article onPeople

'Star Trek' Star Makes Unexpected Comment About William Shatneroriginally appeared onParade. Star Trek: Strange New WorldsstarAnson Mount, who plays Captain Christopher Pike, is opening up about his relationship withWilliam Shatner. During an appearance on the July 15 episode ofMichael Rosenbaum's podcastInside of You, Mount said he occasionally has conversations with Shatner, who originated the role of Captain James T. Kirk inStar Trek: The Original Series, which aired from 1966 to 1969. Mount surprised Rosenbaum by stating that he doesn't ask Shatner about his time starring inStar Trek. Rather Mount likes to ask about his horse farm. "I like to ask Bill about his horses ... He's really devoted most of his life to show horses and he goes all over the world with them," said Mount during the podcast interview. In addition, Mount complimented Shatner for his wit and high energy level at the age of 94. "I could only pray for that much energy at that age. He's a force of nature. It's unreal," said Mount. Mount then shared that he has been at fan conventions where Shatner has taken center stage during panels. According to Mount, audiences are absolutely mesmerized by Shatner. "I've been to a couple of things where they just put him out on stage with a folding chair and he just starts talking. And he'll talk an hour straight and have the audience captivated. He can turn it on like you wouldn't believe," said the actor. Mount mentioned his appreciation for Shatner in a June 12Instagram upload. In the caption of the post, Mount confirmed thatStar Trek: SNW, which premiered in 2022, will end after its 5th season. He also noted that both Captain Kirk and Captain Pike were at the helm of the USS Enterprise. "I grew up watching Bill Shatner strut his stuff across the bridge and sit in a chair that I could not fathom would one day be mine to occupy. It has been a dream fulfilled," read a portion of the caption. Star Trek: SNW Season 3 premieres on July 17 on Paramount+.

'Severance' leads Emmy nominees with 27 and 'The Studio' tops comedies as Apple TV+ dominatesNew Foto - 'Severance' leads Emmy nominees with 27 and 'The Studio' tops comedies as Apple TV+ dominates

LOS ANGELES (AP) — "Severance" separated itself from the field with 27Emmy nominationsTuesday, while "The Studio" led comedy nominees with a record-tying 23 in a dominant year for Apple TV+. No other dramas came close to the dystopian workplace series "Severance," which achieved a convergence of acclaim and audience buzz for its second season that brought an expected Emmy bounty. "It's been the best kind of morning,"Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss told The Associated Press. Lead acting nominationscame for "Severance" stars Adam Scott and Britt Lower for what amounted to dual roles as their characters' "innie" work selves and "outie" home selves. Tramell Tillman got a supporting nod for playing their tone-shifting, pineapple-wielding supervisor. Patricia Arquette was nominated for supporting actress for playing an ousted outcast from the sinister family business at the center of the show. And Ben Stiller got a nomination for directing the Season 2 finale. Apple's Hollywood satire"The Studio"was expected to make a significant showing for its first season, but it romped over more established shows like "Hacks," which got 14, and "The Bear," which got 13. It tied a comedy record set last year by "The Bear" with 23 nominations. Seth Rogen, who co-created the series with longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, personally got three nominations — for acting, writing and directing. Rogen told the AP that "my ego is in shock" and called the raft of nominations "very validating in a way that I'm not used to being validated." His show's A-list roster of guest stars brought in a bounty, with nominations for Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Bryan Cranston, Anthony Mackie, Dave Franco and Zoë Kravitz. The men made for five of the six nominees in the guest actor in a comedy category. "The Penguin," HBO's dark drama from the "Batman" universe, was surprisingly dominant in the limited series category with 24 nominations, including nods for leads Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti. Netflix's acclaimed "Adolescence"got 13 limited series nominations, including a supporting actor nod for 15-year-old Owen Cooper, who plays a 13-year-old suspected of a killing. Many expect Cooper to become the youngest Emmy winner in more than 40 years, largely because of a breathtaking episode that is one long therapy session inside a juvenile jail. Like all "Adolescence" episodes, it's done in one long shot. His psychologist scene partner, Erin Doherty, was also nominated, for limited series supporting actress. "If you just sit and listen, and let someone talk, that is such a gorgeous offering," Doherty told the AP. "I don't think we do it that often. I'm trying to take that forward." "The White Lotus," "The Pitt" and "Matlock" score in acting categories HBO's high-end soap "The White Lotus" got its usual flowering of drama acting nominations for its Thailand-set third season, with four cast members including Carrie Coon getting supporting actress nods, and three including Walton Goggins up for supporting actor. It pulled in 23 nominations overall. "The Pitt," HBO Max's prestige medical procedural, got 13 nominations, including best drama and best actor for its star, "ER" veteran Noah Wyle. One of its nurses, Katherine LaNasa, was able to squeeze in among the women of "The White Lotus" for a supporting actress nod. "I love telling stories about the human condition and I really love acting, and so to suddenly get recognized and sort of applauded for it is just a delightful surprise," LaNasa told the AP. Wyle, who was nominated five times without a win for "ER," could join Scott to make best actor in a drama a two-man race, with both seeking their first Emmy. The broadcast networks have largely become Emmy non-entities in the top categories. Oscar-winner Kathy Bates was a big exception this year. She's considered a heavy favorite to win best actress in a drama for CBS' "Matlock." She's the first person nominated in the category from a network show since 2019, and would be the first to win it since 2015. At 77, she's also the oldest ever nominee in the category. ABC's"Abbott Elementary,"which has kept hope alive for the networks in recent years, got six nominations including acting and writing nods for creator Quinta Brunson. HBO is still king in the overall numbers "The Last of Us" brought in 16 nominations in drama categories for HBO to add to its totals run up by "The White Lotus," "The Pitt" and "The Penguin." Bella Ramsey got a nod for best actress in a drama for "The Last of Us." Pedro Pascal was nominated for lead actor despite appearing in only about half of the season's episodes. HBO with its streaming counterpart HBO Max has been so prolific for decades in Emmy nominations that it almost felt like an off year without it having a "Succession" or a "Game of Thrones" atop the drama category. But it definitely wasn't. It led all outlets with 142 nominations, the most it's ever gotten. Netflix followed with 120 nominations overall, including 11 for "Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story" and 10 for "Black Mirror." Apple TV+ had 79 nominations overall. "Shrinking" added to that total with seven in the comedy categories, including acting nominations for Harrison Ford and Jason Segel. "Andor" representedDisney+ with 14 nominations. The gritty series from the "Star Wars" galaxy is up for best drama series and a slew of technical categories. Forest Whitaker was nominated for best guest actor in a drama. He's one of severalOscar winnersin the guest acting categories along with Scorsese, Howard and Jamie Lee Curtis and Olivia Colman for their performances in "The Bear." "Andor" star Diego Luna was surprisingly omitted from best actor in a drama.Other snubsincluded former Emmy powerhouses "The Handmaid's Tale," which got just one nomination, and "Squid Game," which got none. 'Severance' delivers big for Apple TV+ "Severance"has become a signature show for Apple TV+. The streamer has gotten plenty of Emmy nominations for dramas including"The Morning Show"and"Slow Horses,"and"Ted Lasso"thrived the comedy side. But Apple has lacked the kind of breakaway prestige drama that HBO seems to produce perennially. "Severance" became its most-nominated show ever and could easily become its biggest winner when the Emmys are handed out in September, reaching the upper echelons previously enjoyed by "Succession" and "Shogun," which left room for others by taking this year off. Cherniss said Apple TV+, which has been knocked as the streamer with big stars and big budgets for shows that go unnoticed, was rewarded for taking big swings. "'Severance' is such an ambitious show," he said, adding that "all of the shows that have been nominated took big risks." How streaming has changed TV and the Emmys All the shows are living in the splintered world of the streaming era, and the like the Oscars its most acclaimed nominees rarely have the huge audience they once did. While an impressive average of 10 million people per episode watched Wyle on "The Pitt" on HBO Max, 30 years ago an average of 30 million watched him on "ER" on NBC. The broadcast networks rotate on who airs the Emmys. This year is CBS's turn. It will air the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sept. 14. Nate Bargatze is slated to host. ___ Associated Press Writers writers Ryan Pearson, Liam McEwan and Jocelyn Noveck contributed. ___ For more coverage on this year's Emmy Awards and recent television shows, visit:https://apnews.com/hub/television

The Paramount comics, Colbert and Stewart, are sharp critics of the '60 Minutes' dealNew Foto - The Paramount comics, Colbert and Stewart, are sharp critics of the '60 Minutes' deal

NEW YORK (AP) — This isn't a joke. They've made that clear. CBS "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert condemned parent company Paramount Global'ssettlement of President Donald Trump's lawsuitover a "60 Minutes" story as a "big fat bribe" during his first show back from a vacation. Colbert followed "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart's attack of the deal one week earlier. Stewart works for Comedy Central, also owned by Paramount, making the two comics the most visible internal critics of the $16 million settlement that was announced on July 1. Colbert's "bribe" reference was to the pending sale of Paramount to Skydance Media, which needs Trump administration approval. Critics of the deal that endedPresident Donald Trump's lawsuit over the newsmagazine's editing of its interview last fall with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris suggested it was primarily to clear a hurdle to that sale. "I am offended," Colbert said in his monologue Monday night. "I don't know if anything — anything — will repair my trust in this company. But, just taking a stab at it, I'd say $16 million would help." He said the technical name in legal circles for the deal was "big fat bribe." Jon Stewart terms it 'shameful' Stewart began discussing the "shameful settlement" on his show a week earlier when he was "interrupted" by a fake Arby's ad on the screen. "That's why it was so wrong," he said upon his "return." He discussed the deal in greater detail with the show's guest, retired "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft, making his views clear through a series of leading questions. "I would assume internally, this is devastating to the people who work in a place that pride themselves on contextual, good journalism?" Stewart asked. "Devastating is a good word," Kroft replied. A handful of media reports in the past two weeks have speculated that Skydance boss David Ellison might try to curry favor with Trump by eliminating the comics' jobs if the sale is approved. A representative for Ellison did not immediately return a message for comment on Tuesday. It would be easier to get rid of Stewart, since he works one night a week at a network that no longer produces much original content. Colbert is the ratings leader in late-night broadcast television, however, and is a relentless Trump critic. The antipathy is mutual. Trump called Colbert "a complete and total loser" in a Truth Social post last fall, suggesting CBS was wasting its money on him. "HE IS VERY BORING," Trump wrote. Colbert slips in a quip Colbert alluded to reports about his job security in his monologue, pointing to the mustache he grew during his vacation. "OK, OK, but how are they going to put pressure on Stephen Colbert, if they can't find him?" he joked. Colbert and Stewart both earned Emmy nominations this week for outstanding talk series. Together with ABC's Jimmy Kimmel, all three nominees are tough on Trump. CBS News journalists have largely been quiet publicly since the settlement's announcement. Two top executives, CBS News CEO Wendy McMahon and "60 Minutes" executive producer Bill Owens, bothquit or were forced outprior to the settlement for making their dissatisfaction about the idea known internally. Reporting about the settlement on the day it was announced, "CBS Evening News" anchor John Dickerson said viewers would have to decide on their own what it meant to them. "Can you hold power to account after paying it millions?" Dickerson asked. "Can an audience trust you when it thinks you've traded away that trust? The audience will decide that. Our job is to show up to honor what we witness on behalf of the people." ___ David Bauder writes about the intersection of media and entertainment for the AP.
