Throwback Thursday: You’ve Got Mail
Sorry for not updating sooner! It’s Thursday again and time for another #tbt collage. It’s two photos from one of my favorite photoshoots ever: Meg and Tom posing for Entertainment Weekly back in 1998 when You’ve Got Mail was about to be released.
Web Therapy update
The official Facebook page for the Lisa Kudrow series announced the new webisodes will air on Hulu starting Monday May 27th! Sadly, you can only view it on that website when you’re in the US. Good news is there are ways around that now. Hopefully we’ll have screencaps next week for you. The episodes will also be shown on the Showtime TV channel starting late July. Here’s the info from the Web Therapy FB page:
“Thirty-five new webisodes premiere on Hulu (USA only) next MONDAY featuring Matt LeBlanc, Megan Mullally, Mae Whitman, Victor Garber, Michael McDonald, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Chelsea Handler, Meg Ryan, Sarah Gilbert and more! Can’t wait!”

Taormina Film Festival
Third and last post for today! The people organizing the annual Taormina Film Festival in Sicily, Italy, announced at the Film Festival in Cannes that Meg is one of the celebrities scheduled to make an appearance this year. The film fest runs from June 15th-June 22nd and one of the main focusses this year is comedy. This quote is in Italian, but i’m sure you’ll be able to understand it:
Meg Ryan, Amy Adams e Renata Livtinova saranno ospiti della 59/a edizione del TaorminaFilmFest, guidato da Mario Sesti, direttore editoriale e dalla general manager Tiziana Rocca, annunciate oggi in un incontro durante il festival di Cannes. Il TaorminaFilmFest aprirà il 15 giugno al Teatro Greco con l’anteprima di uno dei film più attesi della stagione, L’uomo d’acciaio (Man of Steel) di Zach Snyder, che uscirà nelle sale italiane il 20 giugno distribuito dalla Warner Bros. Insieme al regista saranno presenti a Taormina Amy Adams, tre volte candidata agli Oscar, che nel film interpreta la giornalista Lois Lane, e Henry Cavill, il nuovo volto di Superman/Clark Kent.
(…) Accanto alla bellezza russa, quella d’oltreoceano con una delle star più amate del cinema hollywoodiano, Meg Ryan che quest’anno a Taormina sarà protagonista di una Tao Class e riceverà il Taormina Arte Award. “Avere Meg Ryan per la prima volta al Taormina Film Fest – sottolineano Mario Sesti e Tiziana Rocca -, incontrare e premiare una delle attrici più vitali, romantiche e divertenti del cinema americano contemporaneo, straordinaria perfezionista della commedia, è per noi un grande onore e siamo sicuri che lo sarà anche per il nostro pubblico”.
