The White Lotus

YOU CAN BOOK A CABIN ON THE WHITE LOTUS CRUISE SHIP

 

This is a few years down the road but try to remember that you read it here first.  The third season of White Lotus won’t air until 2025, but creator Mike White is already working on season 4 and this time YOU could be part of the action!  While a mountain of details need to be worked out, the plan is to film much of season 4 on a luxury cruise ship and include paying passengers as background actors!  The series is SO popular that producers feel some fans will pay upwards of $40,000 a couple for a two week cruise.  Keep in mind,  this idea is so new that the ink isn’t even dry on the storyboard, but if a cruise ship and location can be chosen, it’s very likely to happen.

JENNIFER COOLIDGE HAPPENS TO BE A LOYAL FRIEND

If you were wondering what type of person White Lotus star and Emmy winner, Jennifer Coolidge is, wonder no more. Jennifer has stayed friends with her season one Lotus costar, Lukas Gage, and through him she befriended his then-husband, celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton. Jennifer was lucky enough to have Chris do her hair a few times, especially for awards season, and she LOVED the results. But Lukas’ marriage to Chris imploded and Jennifer had a real life Sophie’s Choice: she couldn’t continue her professional relationship with Chris because it would jeopardize her friendship with Lukas. In the end, Jennifer chose friendship over beauty, and even though she LOVED Chris’ talents, she didn’t want to upset Lukas since his divorce from Chris IS contentious.

IF YOU LOVE THE WHITE LOTUS, DON’T READ THIS!

Spoiler alert!! Our inside source just revealed one of the plot twists for the upcoming season 3 of The White Lotus. It’s already been announced that season one regular, Natasha Rothwell is coming back as Belinda the spa manager, but what has NOT been revealed yet, is that Jennifer Coolidge’s late character Tanya McQuoid changed her will before she died, leaving her entire fortune to Belinda! Belinda now owns the wellness center where all of the action in season 3 takes place. If that wasn’t enough scoop, here’s another tidbit: Although Jennifer’s character is dead, she’s set to appear in at least some flashback scenes, to explain away why and when she changed her will. (Somehow we just KNEW Tanya would find a way to come back!)

WATCH OUT! JENNIFER COOLIDGE PLANS TO TELL ALL!

Thanks to The White Lotus and the trophy case full of acting awards she won for her role on the series, Jennifer Coolidge is Hollywood’s It Girl. Although Jennifer has supposedly been killed off of the popular HBO series – as we previously reported our source insists she WILL be back in either flashbacks, as a ghost, or MAYBE she will even survive the drowning! She’s decided to cash in on her newfound (and well deserved) popularity, and write her autobiography. Our literary source says Jennifer has already had a few lucrative offers for her life story, and could earn a bundle of money.

JANE FONDA WOULD LIKE TO FORGET ABOUT BARBARELLA

White Lotus star Sydney Sweeney is finagling to get a one-on-one with Jane Fonda because she has been cast in Jane’s iconic role in the remake of Barbarella. Jane has publicly voiced her concern, telling The Hollywood Reporter that she “tried not to think about,” the new movie. Looking back, Jane realizes how exploitative and anti-feminist the film really was, and she’s probably embarrassed. When Sydney landed the role she paid tribute to Jane by posting the above image of her to her Instagram account, but now Sydney yearns for Jane’s stamp of approval before filming starts. An insider says Sydney is leaning into any mutual connection to arrange a meeting. Ideally she would LOVE Jane to make a cameo in the film, but at the very least wants her blessing and input before production starts.
