Kristen Wiig: No Regrets Over Turning Down Bridesmaids Sequel

It has become almost second nature nowadays that the moment a film is the slightest bit successful and has the scant possibility of a sequel that a second or third, or in some cases even a fourth, movie is thought to be a certainty. So it’s hard to imagine that the hugely popular  Bridesmaids was a one-off, but that’s exactly as Kristen Wiig wanted it. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar , Wiig made it clear that she has no interest in penning a sequel (with co-writer Annie Mumolo) to her 2011 hit. “It wasn’t a hard decision,” she says. “We knew during the first one that this was it. We would have made a lot of money if there was a second one, but that’s not my goal in my creative life.” For now Wiig is undoubtedly focused on her upcoming film,  Girl Most Likely , with Darren Criss, that opens on July 19th. You can check out the  Girl Most Likely trailer  here!

Gay Marriage Resumes in California as SCOTUS Rejects Final Challenge

The U.S. Supreme Court on Sunday denied a final request from Proposition 8 supporters to halt issuance of same sex marriage licenses in California. Justice Anthony Kennedy rejected the appeal with no additional comment. Dozens of same-sex weddings have taken place in the state since Friday, following the Supreme Court’s decision last week to dismiss Proposition 8 . Prop 8 controversially banned gay marriage in the state in 2008, only to be thrown out by appellate courts on grounds that such a ban is unconstitutional. The SCOTUS, which also struck down DOMA , determined that the Prop 8 petitioners lacked sufficient grounds to appeal the lower courts’ decision. As a formality, the high court said it would not make the Prop 8 judgment final until after a 25-day window in which supporters could request a re-hearing. Which they did, but the SCOTUS was apparently eager to move on from this much-watched case, as Kennedy turned down the appeal almost immediately. California thus becomes the 13th state in the nation with full marriage equality, with new licenses already being issued throughout the Golden State. More same-sex marriages were expected take place Sunday in accordance with the Pride parade and a reception for newly-married couples in San Francisco. Gay marriage :   Support Oppose View Poll »
