Katie Holmes doesn't believe a 'Dawson's Creek' reunion will happen
Katie Holmes has admitted in a new interview that she doesn't see a Dawson's Creek reunion happening.

"I don't think we're going to do a reunion," the actress said recently while appearing on SiriusXM's Just Jenny Show while promoting her upcoming directorial debut, All We Had.

"We did grow up, but we see each other every now and then. I think that the charm of the show was Kevin Williamson's writing and it was of that time and it gave teenagers this voice," she continued about the hit teen drama that ran for six seasons from 1998 through 2003.

"It was a very, very special time - a special show and I loved every minute of it," Holmes said.

Holmes' comments come after her fellow Dawson's Creek costars James Van Der Beek and Michelle Williams reunited for the first time in 13 years Saturday at Matt Damon's Manchester By The Sea Holiday Party in Los Angeles according to People magazine.

All We Had based on the Annie Weatherwax novel of the same name opens in theaters Dec. 9.

Amy Schumer responds to critics of recent 'Barbie' casting: 'They can scream as loud as they want'
Amy Schumer is fighting back against critics and internet trolls who have attacked the comedian's appearance since being cast in an upcoming Barbie film.

"Very very honored to be nominated for 2 Grammys and to be considered to play an important and evolving icon. Is it fat shaming if you know you're not fat and have zero shame in your game? I don't think so," the actress wrote on Instagram Tuesday alongside a paparazzi photo of herself wearing a one-piece bathing suit.

"I am strong and proud of how I live my life and say what I mean and fight for what I believe in and I have a blast doing it with the people I love. Where's the shame? It's not there. It's an illusion," she continued.

"Thanks to everyone for the kind words and support and again my deepest sympathy goes out to the trolls who are in more pain than we will ever understand. I want to thank them for making it so evident that I am a great choice. It's that kind of response that let's you know something's wrong with our culture and we all need to work together to change it."

"Anyone who has ever been bullied or felt bad about yourself I am out there fighting for you, for us. And I want you to fight for yourself too! We need to laugh at the haters and sympathize with them. They can scream as loud as they want. We can't hear them because we are getting [expletive] done. I am proud to lead by example. "I say if I'm beautiful, I say if I'm strong. You will not determine my story. I will" #thegirlwiththelowerbacktattoo," Schumer concluded.

The response comes as internet backlash against Schumer reached an all-time high after she was announced to be portraying Barbie in a new theatrical film. Detractors claim the star does not fit Barbie's slim appearance and signature look.

The plot, according to Deadline, will follow Schumer as she is kicked out of Barbie-land for not being perfect enough. After going on in an adventure in the real-world, Schumer will then return to Barbie-land with a newfound acceptance of herself.

Schumer and her sister Kim Caramele are said to be working on the script by Hilary Winston with production set to start in spring for a summer 2018 release date.

Which former SNL star will portray a professional eSports star in upcoming comedy?

Will Ferrell is set to enter into the world of competitive video gaming in a new comedy under development at Legendary.

According to Variety, Ferrell is set to portray the star player on a competitive eSports team in a sport that is dominated by younger players due to slowing hand-eye coordination in later ages.

Notably, two premiere real-life eSports teams Evil Geniuses and Fnatic are being approached about appearing in the film as well.

Ferrell's Gary Sanchez Productions will be producing the project with a script by Michael Kvamme and Jordan Dunn. Patrick Connelly and John Beach of Gravity Squared have signed on as co-producers.

The untitled film will be the latest sports-centric film for the comedian following comedies such as Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory and Semi-Pro.

Ferrell is also developing a professional wresting-themed comedy series at Fox alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
