'Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants' stars reunite: 'All grown up'
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants fans were thrilled to see the movie's stars reunite over the weekend.

Blake Lively, America Ferrera, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn, who played Bridget Vreeland, Carmen Lowell, Lena Kaligaris and Tibby Tomko-Rollins in the 2005 film, came together Friday.

"All grown up. #blakesfingerinmynose #ambersfingerinmymouth #alexisisatruelady #sisterlove #holdtighttotheonesyoulove," Ferrera captioned a pair of playful group photos on Instagram.

Sisterhood is based on the Ann Brashares novel of the same name and earned $42 million at the box office. A sequel, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2, was released in 2008, and Lively recently expressed interest in a third movie.

"There is a strong chance there might be a third," she told Entertainment Weekly Radio in June. "The four of us are still best friends and to be able to create something together again is something that's always been a dream of ours."

"It would have to be something that really made sense. If you wait this long to do a third movie, it needs to honor the story and the legacy," the star qualified. "We wouldn't be making a movie for 16-year-olds again. We would be making a movie trusting that our audience grew up with us."

Lively called Ferrera, Bledel and Tamblyn her "friends and mentors" in an interview with People the same month. The actress last starred in The Shallows and will next appear in All I See is You with Jason Clarke.


LOOSE LIPS:
"When Lena Dunham takes her clothes off, she gets flack, but it's also considered brave; when Justin Bieber takes off his shirt, he's a grown up. But when a woman who is sexual takes off her top, it plays into something."

'Community' creator Dan Harmon says movie 'will happen'
Community creator Dan Harmon is optimistic about a movie.

The 43-year-old writer and producer discussed plans for the project Monday on Larry King Now, more than 13 months after the sitcom's series finale.

"I mean, it'll make a great movie," Harmon said when asked what form the story's continuation would take. "It'll happen."

Community ran for five seasons on NBC and ended with a sixth season on Yahoo! Screen. Most of the show's stars are now involved with different projects -- a challenge Harmon addressed in the interview.

"If I pull out a typewriter right now and write a Community movie just for my own heart and mind, then I have to go through the heartbreak and agony of finding out which of the people are going to show up to make it," he said.

"On the other hand, if I wait for everybody to line up and say, 'We're all out of work and ready to do a Community movie,' then I guess that's a bad idea, too," the writer added.

Community starred Joel McHale as a lawyer who enrolls in community college after it is discovered he faked his bachelor's degree. The 44-year-old actor was enthusiastic about a movie when he spoke to Esquire in 2015.

"I really do think there'll be a movie," he said. "I think what has to happen is that Dan needs to write the script. It's a tall order for someone ... [but] the cast would do it. We would all do it."

Harmon is also known for creating Rick and Morty, which will return on Adult Swim this year. McHale is presently working on several series, including The Great Indoors with Stephen Fry and Dimension 404 with Lea Michele.

Which former boy band member is going to host a gay dating show, 'Finding Prince Charming'?

A gay dating game show for television is now in production.

Logo announced Tuesday it has given the go-ahead to the new dating series Finding Prince Charming. The show will consist of 13 suitors competing for the heart of "one of the nation's top gay heartthrobs," People reported.

It is scheduled to debut in the fall.

Like ABC's The Bachelor, the cast will live together and eliminations will occur as the show progresses until the leading man selects his finalist "to commit to an exclusive relationship."

The show will be hosted by former 'NSYNC member Lance Bass, who most recently was a contributing panelist on The Meredith Viera Show. He also hosted SIRIUS XM's pop culture radio show Dirty Pop.

Bass, 37, who himself is gay, married artist Michael Turchin in December 2014 during a ceremony that became part of an E! News wedding special that aired in February 2015.

Pamela Post, Logo's senior vice president of original programming, said the network "has a long history of showcasing LGBTQ-focused stories with memorable characters that transcend pop culture. Finding Prince Charming will take viewers on a whirlwind journey through modern love and relationships in a way that only Logo can do," Deadline reported.

The Bravo network tried something similar to Finding Prince Charming when it took a shot at a gay dating reality series in 2003. Boy Meets Boy was on the air for just one season over that summer.
