From gossip girls to mean girls, teenage girls aren't always portrayed in a positive (or accurate) light. But here are ten teen TV characters who got it right.

It's the end of another week, end of another Olympics and the end of my hopes of becoming the next "Jeopardy" host (Although, I never had any chance because I'm a woman and a person of color. Bazinga.)

Seeing celebrities through their own eyes and stories can be fraught with ... exaggeration. Or, if the star has been particularly introspective, like Val Kilmer, a lot can be learned.

Jennifer Aniston stirred some feelings when she recently said she has "lost a few people in my weekly routine who have refused or did not disclose" whether they had been vaccinated against Covid-19.

Britney Spears' father, Jamie Spears, rejected the assertion that he should be removed as conservator of his daughter's estate and cited a recent "plea for help" regarding his daughter's mental health, according to a new court filing obtained by CNN.

The season finale of Apple TV+'s "Physical" brought to a, erm, climax a story that began as a tale about an unfulfilled housewife (Rose Byrne) in the '80s and concluded with a woman set free. Well, she's at least starting to set herself free.

Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor are bringing back that warrior princess feeling.

An arrest has been made in the hit and run incident that led to death of "Gone Girl" actress Lisa Banes in June.

The Weeknd has released the video for his new single "Take My Breath."

Kanye West hosted another listening event in Atlanta for his "Donda" album, but there was more chatter about his personal life than music.

Taylor Swift is hinting at the music and collaborators on the long-awaited re-release of "Red."

"Annette" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, buoyed by the intriguing tandem of Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard in an original musical. The resulting movie, however, hits the wrong notes, repeating mundane lyrics without uttering the words that keep coming to mind, which are "precious" and "pretentious."

In "Mr. Corman," it's Apple that gets a teacher, although it's a decidedly bittersweet one.

From "Full Metal Jacket" in the '80s to "Mean Girls" in the '00s, Asian and Pacific Islander women have historically been exoticized and hypersexualized in Hollywood -- and the problem lingers today.

An attorney for Britney Spears has filed a petition requesting the judge in the her conservatorship case move up a hearing to determine immediately whether Jamie Spears will be removed as the co-conservator of his daughter's estate, according to court documents obtained by CNN on Thursday.

Ellen Burstyn is set to guest star in the upcoming season of "Law & Order: Organized Crime" on NBC.

The estate of Aaliyah has a message to those who have tried to release unauthorized projects about the late star.

Lil Nas X, the 22-year-old juggernaut known by most for "Old Town Road," is in prison. He's in the shower, naked -- save for some humble pixelation -- and twerking, surrounded by eight male backup dancers. And he seems to be having the time of his life.

"Jeopardy!" executive producer Mike Richards is in line to host the beloved game show starting in September.

"Free Guy" is a cleverly programmed wedding of star (Ryan Reynolds) and subject matter, in a movie that's silly, handsome-looking and a great deal of fun, in roughly inverse proportion to how much one sweats the details. Traveling inside videogames doesn't always end well cinematically, but this "Guy" braves that familiar scenario and comes out ahead.
