Kate Hudson stars in RUNNING POINT, a new comedy series from executive producer Mindy Kaling, premiering February 27, 2025 on Netflix.

About RUNNING POINT
When a scandal forces her brother to resign, Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) is appointed president of the Los Angeles Waves, one of the most storied professional basketball franchises, and her family business. Ambitious and often overlooked, Isla will have to prove to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job. From the hitmaking team of Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, Running Point puts a bold twist on the underdog comedy. The 10-episode series also stars Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Fabrizio Guido, Toby Sandeman, Chet Hanks, Jay Ellis and Max Greenfield.

Mr. Will and levelFILM want you to win on DVD, a copy of the complex and resonant ABOUT ALEX!

Synopsis:
The twenty-something centric dramedy boasts a stellar cast of young stars including Aubrey Plaza (Parks and Recreation), Max Greenfield (New Girl), Jason Ritter (Parenthood), Maggie Grace (Taken, Lost), Jane Levy (Suburgatory), Max Minghella (The Social Network) and Nate Parker (Non-Stop).

Hailed by CinemaBlend as “The Big Chill for Millennials“, About Alex is the story of seven college friends who reunite over a three-day weekend, after one of them has an emotional breakdown. When the friends get together to keep an eye on Alex (Ritter), the weekend that ensues will renew old crushes and resentments, shine light on bad decisions, and ultimately push friendships and relationships to the brink as the group tries to speculate when the simple life of their college years turned so muddy and complex.

The sometimes irreverent, sometimes poetic, and always moving, About Alex is the first feature film from writer/director Jesse Zwick and is an honest look at the changing nature of adult friendship in the Facebook/Twitter generation.

From MuchMusic to the Big Time! Many of us remember Hannah Simone from her days as a VJ on Canada’s Music Television Station, but the Host-turned-Actress now stars on FOX‘s Hit Series The New Girl as Cece Meyers, the gorgeous love interest of Max Greenfield‘s Schmidt. The Role of Cece garnered Simone a Teen Choice Award last year for Choice TV Breakout Star – Female. Although the on-screen Couple affectionately known by Fans as “Schmece” currently are not together, Schmidt definitely still is trying to win Cece‘s affections currently in the second season of the Series.

Simone in addition to being back in Toronto from Los Angeles, is here to talk about New Girl and also Gillette’s Kiss and Tell  Social Experiment,  spawned from a Survey that showed 39% of Women would kiss more often if a Guy were clean-shaven.  She will be appearing at Eaton Centre at 11:00 AM as part of the Festivities, timed perfectly for Valentine’s Day.

In addition to appearing bright and early on KISS 92.5‘s Roz & Mocha Show, Simone looked stunning with her signature bangs, to talk about her appearance later today for the Men’s Grooming Brand.  Right after, she head over to City, appearing on multiple feeds of Breakfast Television across the Country.

I caught-up with Simone quickly, although her Handler was quick to decline a Photo Op, being in a rush.  Fortunately Simone was amazing as expected, making an exception, visibly not being okay turning a Fan down. “Let’s take a Photo, but it’s gotta be quick as I don’t want to get in trouble!”, she tells me.  It’s always great to see one of our own gain success abroad, but even better when you see they still are humble about it!

New Girl airs Tuesday nights at 8:30 PM EST on City.
