LILY JAMES TRANSITIONS FROM DOWNTON ABBEY TO BAYWATCH

First time we saw UK actress Lily James (top photo) she was playing Lady Rose on Downton Abbey. Imagine our surprise when we realized she is now starring as Playboy icon/Baywatch star Pamela Anderson in the Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy. We never would have guessed she could look SO much like Pam. Hopefully Pam & Tommy is comedic because we remember their relationship so well and they always seemed to be having a good time. Pam and the Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee were only married for four years, but they were a power couple in the 90’s. Whenever they showed up together at an event there was a huge fuss and a paparazzi frenzy. They were famous for their crazy quotes and extreme fashions. Fun while it lasted.

HOW DID THEY TALK CHER INTO PLAYING MERYL STREEP’S MOTHER IN MAMMA MIA: HERE WE GO AGAIN?

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again had an impressive premier in London with all the stars – old and new. The crowd gave Cher a particularly loud ovation- she plays Meryl Streep’s mother in the film – and she’s only three years older in real life! (Back in the day, Meryl and Cher costarred in Silkwood.) This follow-up of the original 2008 movie goes back in time with Downton Abbey’s Lily James playing Meryl Streep‘s character as a young girl. Cher confessed she was afraid her voice was all wrong to sing Abba songs, but it all worked out, and she pulled on her best Goth look for the opening night.
