Judd Apatow thinks that the comedy genre can be revived in cinemas. The 56-year-old director released his recent films 'The King of Staten Island' and 'The Bubble' on streaming platforms but thinks that the success of just a single blockbuster will get audiences flocking back to theatres.

If a movie like 'The Hangover' came out and it was a big hit, suddenly everyone would want five more of those." The 'Knocked Up' filmmaker continued: "Here's the...

The 50-year-old actress has revealed her biggest beauty and style regret, and admitted her natural locks made it more difficult to get back to a hairdo she was happy with.
