Don't worry, we won't let you be the last to know that the jukebox musical paying tribute to Britney Spears will make its West Coast debut at a local high school. Playing one weekend only at Frontier High School, "Once Upon a One More Time" recontextualizes the Princess of Pop's songs with a fairy-tale overlay. Director Tevin Joslen said he initially thought to pass on the musical, which debuted on Broadway in 2023, but was so surprised by the story and how perfectly he saw it would fit the talent at the school. "It's easy to look back at the height of Britney's career and view her as two-dimensional, the same way we view our favorite fairy-tales like Snow White and Cinderella," he wrote in an email. "But when you look a little closer and with a little more empathy, at her interviews and cultural attitudes towards her, the early 2000s highly objectified and stereotyped a young aspiring performer and then criticized her for it....

Tess Sanchez (left); We've Decided to Go in a Different Direction cover If you didn't lose your bearings just a teeny, tiny bit during the pandemic, were you even really there? That's just one of the hilarious and thoughtful observations in Hollywood casting director Tess Sanchez 's debut memoir, We've Decided To Go In A Different Direction . After losing her job (and some of her sanity, as she recounts in an essay) as a Fox casting executive at the height of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, Sanchez tells PEOPLE that her husband, Running Point star Max Greenfield — who wrote the foreword — is to thank for her finally sitting down to tell her story. Mostly because he had had enough of her incessant musings. Sanchez, 40, tells PEOPLE, "I actually was following my husband around the house saying, 'What do you think about this and what do you think about that, and why did this happen, and I'm ...

Confession: I'm low-key obsessed with Millie Bobby Brown RN. Sure, the fact she's been busy promoting her new sci-fi adventure film, The Electric State (now available to stream on Netflix, FYI) is part of the reason why. Whenever she steps out, I'm excited to see how she's styling her hair— bleach blonde , in a Pamela Anderson-style bouffant updo , or Candyfloss pink ?!—and what exactly she's wearing.
