Just a few months before his death from a heroin overdose, Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was blackmailed by a website which threatened to expose his most intimate secrets. In a new book, his close friend Shalom Auslander reveals the outlet had bought tapes of Hoffman and planned to publish them unless he gave an exclusive interview.

Fans may best know him as the clean-shaven and suited up Kendall Roy from Succession. But Jeremy Strong was cutting a very different figure as he attended the 77th Annual Tony Awards Meet The Nominees Press Event in New York on Thursday. The actor, 45, looked unrecognizable rocking a mustache and hipster ensemble as he hit the red carpet.

Philip Seymour Hoffman's sister Emily Anne Barr penned a touching tribute to the actor 10 years after his death.

Liev Schreiber and Tyne Daly are back in Broadway for a revival of the 2004 film Doubt: A Parable. In 2004, John Patrick Shanley's original script premiered off-Broadway before transferring to Broadway in 2005, where it received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. It was also turned into the 2008 film Doubt, starring Meryl Steedl, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams, which Shanley also wrote and directed.

Jessica Chastain received the grand prize at the 2023 Screen Actors Guild Awards on February 26, 2012, when fellow SAG nominees Zendaya and Paul Mescal presented her with the award for outstanding female actress in a television movie or limited series for her Showtime film "George & Tammy." The actor was overjoyed to receive the award, causing a moment of evaporation as she made her way up to the stage to accept it. She did have a bit of a hiccup when — after being helped by Courtney B. Vance — she tripped on the skirt of her stunning hot-pink floor-length gown. However, she recovered quickly and brushed the time off, not even mentioning it in her uplifting acceptance address.

When speaking at the 29th Screen Actors Guild on Sunday, Jessica Chastain paid tribute to late Philip Seymour Hoffman. The 45-year-old actress, who screamed over her dress as she scaled the stage, received the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role award for her work in George And Tammy and revealed what the late actor had previously told her. She recalled the time she spent at Juilliard School and said Hoffman - who died in 2014 at the age of 46, attended one of her classes.

Jessica Chastain is getting compared to Jennifer Lawrence for a brief moment over her appearance on her way to receive the SAG Award for Best Female Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries. Following her humiliating fall, the 45-year-old actress received some much-needed assistance from Irish actor Paul Mescal and a man in the front row, who also rushed to her assistance. Almost immediately, Twitter users were quick to point out the similarities between her fall and Lawrence's infamous nosebleed at the Academy Awards in 2013. The Oscar winner made a quick recovery and delivered an inspiring address in honor of late Philip Seymour Hoffman. The mother-of-two, who scooped up the same award at last year's wedding, was lauded for her appearance as Tammy Wynette in George and Tammy.

Haim's relationship with renowned filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson began in 2016 with a live in-studio video for their song "Right Now" which was released the following year. Anderson produced several Haim projects over the months, including the beautifully choreographed "Little of Your Love" music video, a live version of "Night So Long" shot at Los Angeles' Greek Theatre, and a short documentary about their second album, Something to Tell You called Valentine. This partnership was fruitful, and Danielle, Ester, and Alana kept it alive by allowing Anderson to produce stunning graphics for their forthcoming album, Women in Music Pt. I'm sure you did too. Fortunately, this partnership has shown no signs of ending, as Anderson's new feature film trailer shows. The film is called Licorice Pizza and stars none other than Alana Haim in the lead role, appearing alongside Cooper Hoffman, the late actor and frequent Anderson collaborator Philip Seymour Hoffman. It's adorable.
