Jelly Roll Faces ICE Backlash After Grammy Speech

In the last decade, we went from multiple raunch comedies hitting theaters every year to nearly zero. One of the last of the mainstream raunch comedy releases, 2014’s Sex Tape starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, was a small hit, but its premise could only have supported a film in 2014 when the general public didn’t know what “the cloud” was or how it worked. A few years later, Apple’s iCloud became a common, everyday feature for users, who now understood that the entire plot of the film made no sense. 

Sex Tape Has No Idea How Technology Works

In Sex Tape, Diaz and Segel play a married couple, Anne and Jay Hargrove, trying to rediscover the spark that they once had when the kids are away for a night. With nothing else working, they let their intrusive thoughts win and decide to film a sex tape. The problem is that instead of deleting the next day, Segal’s hapless Jay realizes it’s been uploaded to the cloud and shared with the iPads he gave away for Christmas. And yes, they are not only called iPads, but they are constantly shown on screen in the oddest product placement you can imagine.

Jay and Annie head out to recover all of the iPads and delete the video before anyone can see the sex tape. This involves committing breaking and entering, battling a German shepherd, accidentally doing a rail of cocaine, and getting busted by their best friends, played by Ellie Kemper and Rob Corddry, a pairing that, in a just world, would have headlined their own rom-com by now. The thing is, in reality, videos aren’t sent to iPads through the Cloud unless you specifically set up a shared file, then download them on each and every iPad. The entire plot could be resolved with one five-second act of deleting a file. 

Sex Tape relies entirely on the comedic chemistry of Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, who reunite after knocking it out of the park with Bad Teacher. The physical comedy and one-liners are so few and far between that it’s one of those movies where you see everything in the trailer. Everyone involved has been in better, funnier films, but in the 12 years since Sex Tape’s release and the complete collapse of the rom-com industrial complex, it now looks like a masterpiece. 

Sex Tape Hastened The End Of Rom-Coms

Bad Teacher set off the last gasp of rom-com relevance thanks to great reviews and a huge box office haul, while Sex Tape approached rock bottom with a 16 percent critical rating and a 33 percent audience rating. At the box office, it made three times its estimated budget with $120 million, but again, that doesn’t take into account the large marketing budget from attempting to turn the two leads into a Julia Roberts and Richard Gere for a new generation. 

This decade, Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell had a little success with a rom-com, Jeniffer Lauirence crashed and burned in her attempt, while the time-loop rom-com Palm Springs, starring Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, has been the most creative entry in the genre in decades. By comparison, Sex Tape hinges on a plot that’s both out of date and, given the Cloud’s common knowledge, makes zero sense. You can do better by watching Bad Teacher or Palm Springs again, then spending your time watching Sex Tape.   

It took exactly a year for The Artful Dodger to receive its first renewal — so what are the chances Hulu would pick the show back up for season 3?

During the season 2 finale, which aired on Tuesday, February 10, Belle (Maia Mitchell) learned a shocking revelation about the governor (Damien Garvey) not being her biological father. Her mother, Jane (Susie Porter), shared the truth when she thought she was on her death bed but Belle’s love interest Jack (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) ultimately saved her life.

As a result, Jane finally gave Belle permission to be with Jack. Belle ran to find him but it appeared that Jack got on a boat and left. The final moments of the season confirmed that Jack couldn’t leave Belle — and the fan-favorite couple shared a kiss.

Elsewhere in the finale, Fagin (David Thewlis) had a plan to die so his troubles would disappear. Jack helped executive the plan but Fagin actually survived and woke up … buried underground.

“There’s a lot [more story] to tell,” Mitchell, 32, exclusively told Us Weekly about the future of the show. “It’s such a massive show with so many characters and so many plots happening all at once.”

The actress noted that there is “a lot of opportunity” for “way more character development” in the future, adding, “With Belle and Jack, it is seeing what domestic life could look like. I don’t know how they pull that off. I don’t see them ever being settled but seeing what that looks like and seeing them actualize their relationship.”

Mitchell didn’t stop there when it came to possible story lines.

“But also with the family. Belle learned this revelation about Lady Jane and we see the family in a much more kind of authentic closeness together,” she teased. “But I would love to see what that does for the family — and for Lady Jane. I’d love to see what Lady Jane is up to in season 3 as well.”

She continued: “Fagin is up to no good. And Belle’s sister, Fanny, her story line this season is the most delightful surprise. I really wasn’t across any of those scenes so watching the show back I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s what they were up to every day that I was at home.’ Seeing where that goes with Fanny, she’s so empowered and so delightful. I would love to do that. I would love to do a third season and I know everyone feels that way.”

Acting as a sequel to Charles Dickens‘ novel Oliver Twist, The Artful Dodger is set in the 1850s and follows Jack Dawkins, who is a former Royal Navy surgeon trying to establish himself as a respected young doctor. In addition to his antics outside of work, Jack quickly develops a romance with the governor’s daughter Belle.

“It was a long painstaking wait to hear [about a season 2], so we are very happy to be back,” Mitchell noted to Us. “In terms of jumping back into character, the break was good. It’s always nerve-wracking going back. But it’s so easy with our sets and in our costumes, you just really do melt right into the world. But the break was good because I would have needed that circuit break to find a different tone in her, to do some different prep. Especially with the dialect coaches, I was vocally dropping her a little lower and there was a slightly different physicality. Hopefully we get a season 3, and hopefully the break isn’t as long.”

Fan-favorite TV couples like 9-1-1’s Buck and Eddie, The Bear’s Sydney and Carmy and Tracker’s Colter and Reenie — or Billie — deserve to finally get together on screen in 2026. Based on Jeffery Deaver‘s novel The Never Game, Tracker has viewers tuning in each week to see their favorite fictional survivalist — a.k.a Colter […]

Mitchell was thrilled at the chance to film a project in her native Australia.

“At the end of 2021, I had written a list of things I was manifesting. It was a job that was shot in Australia, a period drama and it was a woman who was playing a feminist and claiming her power. That is literally The Artful Dodger for me. So it is a dream job,” she gushed. “And to be able to work at home is fantastic. It’s less of a flight to visit family and our crew is so amazing. I’ve now shot a couple projects in Australia in the last few years, since I’ve moved home — and also overseas — and I can say for sure that it’s the best and most elevated work that I’ve been able to do.”

She concluded: “It’s because of the crew and everyone behind the camera and the cast. We have such immense talent here and I’m so excited that the world is becoming privy to it because we’ve known it. We’ve always made such fantastic shows but they have this Aussie tone with a gritty drama. Now we’re expanding that and we’ve got these massive period dramas with crazy budgets. It’s really fun to be a part of that kind of new moment in Aussie film and TV. So I couldn’t be more stoked and I would just work in Australia with Aussie crew for the rest of my career if I could. It’s the best.”

The Artful Dodger is currently streaming on Hulu.

Amy Schumer isn’t one to shy away from what some may consider to be an unconventional Valentine’s Day celebration amid her ongoing divorce.

“Give yourself all the love today,” Schumer, 44, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, February 14, sharing a selfie of the actress posing for the camera in a makeshift “crying corner.”

“Happy vday,” she added, showing off her “crying corner” complete with tissues, at least two water bottles and an appropriate “crying corner” decoration.

On December 12, 2025, Schumer announced her and husband Chris Fischer had decided to call it quits.

Amy Schumer and her estranged husband Chris Fischer‘s seven-year marriage ended on good terms, a source exclusively confirms to Us Weekly. “Amy still adores Chris, just not romantically,” the insider shares. “He’s a great guy and an even better father.” Schumer, 44, announced her separation from Fischer, 45, in a since-deleted Instagram post on December […]

“Blah blah blah Chris and I have made the difficult decision to end our marriage after 7 years,” Schumer wrote via Instagram at the time. “We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son. We would appreciate people respecting our privacy at this time.” (The pair share son Gene, who they welcomed in May 2019.)

Schumer added, “Amicable and all love and respect! Family forever.”

Schumer officially filed for divorce in at the beginning of the new year, submitting the necessary paperwork on January 6 with the New York Supreme Court, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time. The case type is listed as “matrimonial — uncontested,” per the filing.

Rumors first surfaced in November 2025 that Schumer and Fischer were headed for a divorce. (The pair sold their Brooklyn, New York, townhouse for a reported $11 million that same month.) Still, Schumer sang her spouse’s praises in early December of that same year while reflecting on her personal 2021 endometriosis surgery.

(According to the Mayo Clinic, endometriosis is a chronic health condition in which cells similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, often resulting in chronic pain, irregular periods, infertility and more.)

“Just found this from years ago. My trust self. Chris dug it,” Schumer wrote via Instagram at the time, captioning a throwback video. “I’ve been through a lot with endometriosis. Tell someone you love they shouldn’t have heavy excruciating periods. @endofound donate along with me today.”

Hours later, Schumer announced the split.

“Amy still adores Chris, just not romantically. He’s a great guy and an even better father,” a source exclusively told Us at the time, adding that “there wasn’t some big, scandalous catalyst for their split.”

“It just happened slowly over time, and they agreed their relationship was no longer what it once was,” the insider continued.

The source added that the estranged duo have been “figuring out” what their split will look like for “months,” especially in regards to their son.

“The goal is to make it as smooth of a transition as possible so as not to disturb their son’s day-to-day,” the insider explained. “One of the many things they see eye to eye on is Gene and his happiness coming first.”

Despite the major life change, the source also told Us that Schumer — who recently revealed her 50-pound weight loss — is “in a good place and even cracks jokes about their separation,” adding that it has “been an easy adjustment so far.”
