Only Murders in the Building

SELENA GOMEZ AND HAILEY BIEBER ARE FRIENDS AGAIN

Selena Gomez and Hailey Baldwin Bieber want the world to know they’re definitely on good terms, SUCH good terms that Hailey could appear on season three of Selena’s popular series, Only Murders in the Building. Rumors swirled that they disliked each other because Hailey married Selena’s ex, Justin Bieber. But any hard feelings between them have long passed, and they’re working on a genuine friendship. The show got picked up for a third season and this time the action revolves around Broadway. An insider told me that Hailey could wind up playing a Broadway star who’s connected to the murder victim.

ANOTHER MURDER IN THIS NEW YORK BUILDING

We have to admit we like the stars (Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short) of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building better than the actual story, but that’s enough to pull us back for another season. After a murder in their NY apartment building, the tenants get to know each other and join forces to solve the crime. There were funny moments in season 1, but the story seemed rather haphazard and the finale was puzzling. The producer promises that the new season of the comedy/mystery (it makes fun of TV crime shows) that just started filming, will tie up all the loose ends and satisfy viewers. The series is also drawing celebrity cameos- Amy Schumer and Shirley MacLaine, among others, are poking their noses into season 2.

STEVE MARTIN AND JANE LYNCH: WHO’S IMITATING WHO?

We were still in the process of obsessing over Only Murders in the Building, the new Hulu comedy/mystery series currently filming in New York, when Steve Martin posted this photo of himself and Jane Lynch dressed oddly alike on set. The plot thickens… We couldn’t figure out where she fits into the picture – she’s not mentioned in the cast which includes Steve, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. They star in the 10 part series about three strangers obsessed with true crime who unite to solve a mystery in their building. Steve Martin co-wrote the script (he also co-wrote my favorite title: Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid) so anything can happen..we just can’t WAIT to see it!

SELENA GOMEZ ON TOP OF THE WORLD

Selena Gomez is back at work filming that movie we told you about – Only Murders in the Building – and she has never looked better! She has survived much more than a pandemic- Selena has had a LOT of health problems recently – besides treatment for anxiety and depression, she has dealt with Lupus and a kidney transplant. The only GOOD thing that happened was her split from Justin Bieber! We got a few more details about her movie – it seems Selena’s character lives in the same upscale NY building as Steve Martin and Martin Short, but they are only nodding acquaintances. Each of them returns home every day and devours true-crime shows like Dateline. One time they are all in the elevator with a 4th tenant who later turns up dead. They get together to solve the crime, but vow “Only Murders in the Building” – hence the title.

STEVE MARTIN IS BACK AND HE’S A NOSEY NEIGHBOR

New Yorkers on the Upper West Side were abuzz yesterday because Steve Martin was filming on the street and he was highly visible – being the only person without a mask. Martin, 75, has no plans to retire – he co-wrote the script and stars his new Hulu comedy series, Only Murders in the Building, along with Martin Short and Selena Gomez. They play three residents of an apartment building who barely know each other – until there is a murder in the building. It turns out they are all obsessed with real-life crime, and they combine skills to find out what happened.
