Now You Can Browse and Fund Kickstarter Projects On The Go

This year Kickstarter may have given us the best Valentine’s gift ever, Kickstarter for iPhone and iPad. An afternoon Kickstarter binge is one of our favorite past times at Brit + Co., so we couldn’t be more pumped about the app. Now you can discover, follow, and create new projects right from your mobile phone.

Mobile filtering makes it easy to get lost in amazing projects on your phone. You can filter by Staff Picks or Popular projects. If you prefer to see all projects within a specific category, just filter by “Music, Comics, Fashion, etc.” Who knew there were hundreds of incredible art projects looking for funding on Kickstarter? For all you local lovers, you can even filter by projects near you.

The best part of Kickstarter comes after you’ve funded a projected, when you watch it grow and evolve. The app’s activity tab is a the best way to stay up-to-date on all the Kickstarter projects you’ve already funded. The activity tab also lets you know what projects your friends are funding.

As a project creator, you can use the Kickstarter app to stay more closely connected with the people who are funding your project. Share updates and photos to your project page directly from your phone. You can also track the progress of your funding by getting alerts each time you receive a pledge.

What do you think of the new Kickstarter app? Have you had a chance to play with it, or even pledge to a project on mobile?

'Pretty Woman' Star Richard Gere Just Spilled On Filming THAT Piano Scene With Julia Roberts

Pretty Woman is an iconic movie, full stop — and almost nothing is more iconic than Julia Roberts and Richard Gere's spicy piano scene. You know the one. Well, Richard Gere just spilled on that sensual scene over 30 years later, and what he shared is pretty surprising! Here's what he had to say on the TODAY Showabout that moment!

Everything Richard Gere said about his iconic performance in Pretty Woman's piano scene!

If you don't exactly remember the scene, let me break it down for you. Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) is dressed to the nines, playing the piano in the hotel he's staying at. When Vivian (Julia Roberts) enters the scene, Edward dismisses the hotel staff so he can have the room alone with Vivian. She makes her way to him, he takes off her dress, and well...that piano becomes the scene of a very intimate moment between these two.

WELL, according to Richard, that scene was improvised completely. Shocked? Yeah, we were too.

Richard explained that he and director Gary Marshall were looking for ways to make Edward "a little more interesting" by chatting about what the character would do while he travels for work. It was Richard's idea that he would find a piano late at night to play while his only audience would be a cleaning guy or two.

They decided to run with the idea, and boom! We got one of the most memorable romance scenes of all time.

Not only was the entire scene improvised, but Richard also shared that he improvised the song he played as well. He even got a "composed by" credit for the tune! Sadly, when people ask him to play the song for them, he can't seem to remember what he made up! To him, he "just played."

We wish we could "just play" our way into the cinema zeitgeist forever like that! Bravo, Mr. Gere! 👏

OMG, Josh O'Connor & Emily Blunt Joined Steven Spielberg's New Movie

Steven Spielberg a certified movie star-maker, but when he works with celebrities who are already established in their own right? The movie's sure to be a smash. ICYMI, Josh O'Connor (Challengers, Knives Out 3) and Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada, Oppenheimer) just joined Spielberg's newest movie from Universal, and I lost. My. Mind. I've been a fan of Josh's since before he was on The Crown in 2019, and as much as I'd like to gatekeep him, I'm thrilled to see him getting the accolades — and roles — he deserves.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about Steven Spielberg's new movie — and who's joining Josh O'Connor & Emily Blunt in the cast.

Steven Spielberg's new movie from Amblin and Universal is coming to theaters soon, but other than the release date (the movie's currently scheduled for May 15, 2026), we have, like, no information. If anyone was going to keep their scripts super top secret, it'd be Spielberg!

Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we do know the movie will have sci-fi themes, and the story is from David Koepp, who worked on Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Josh O'Connor and Emily Blunt join names like Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and Eve Hewson. (Colin, is this why you aren't in Bridget Jones 4? 🤨).

This movie cast is absolutely stacked and I'm already thinking about how it will play out against Christopher Nolan's new movie, which stars Zendaya, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, and Matt Damon and comes out in July of the same year. Slays upon slays. After watching some of worst movies of 2024, I'm counting down the days until May 2026.

I'm super excited to see Spielberg come back to the land of summer movies after films like West Side Story and The Fabelmans both hit theaters in December of their respective years. In case you somehow haven't seen Steven Spielberg's movies, I can't pass up the opportunity to recommend The Goonies, E.T., and The Color Purple, in addition to those December flicks. And the fact all of these hits were done by the same guy? Almost too good to be true.

What was your reaction when Josh O'Connor and Emily Blunt joined Steven Spielberg's new movie? Let us know in the comments, then tell us how you reacted when you found out Anne Hathaway would star in Colleen Hoover's Verity. (I'll let you in on a secret: I screamed).

'Yellowstone' Prequel Star Joins 'Scream 7' As Neve Campbell's Daughter

Scream 6 was one of the hottest movies of 2023, and we've been looking forward to Scream 7 since the credits started rolling! Even though we won't see Melissa Barrera return, I'm super excited to see Neve Campbell return as Sidney Prescott — and it looks like in addition to Friends star Courteney Cox stepping back into Gale Weathers' shoes, we'll also be seeing a beloved Yellowstone universe star taking on a brand new role.

Keep reading for the latest Scream 7 news — and everything you need to know about the cast.

Is Sidney going to be in Scream 7?

Scream 7 Cast

Yes, Sidney Prescott will be in Scream 7! “Sidney Prescott is coming back!!!!” franchise lead Neve Campbell says on Instagram. “It’s always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the ‘Scream’ movies. My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me, has never waned. I’m very happy and proud to say I’ve been asked, in the most respectful way, to bring Sidney back to the screen and I couldn’t be more thrilled.”

The actress was not involved in Scream 6 due to salary inequity. "As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to ‘Scream,'" she told Variety ahead of the sixth movie's release. "I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise."

Who else is in the cast of Scream 7?

Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

In addition to Neve Campbell, we'll see Isabel May (who you'll recognize from the Yellowstone prequels 1883 and 1923) appear as Neve's onscreen daughter. We could also see Courteney Cox reprise her role as Gale Weathers, via Variety.

However, we won't see onscreen sisters Melissa Barrera or Jenna Ortega in Scream 7. It was announced in November 2023 that Melissa would no longer star in the franchise following her posts on the Isreal-Hamas war, while Jenna's absence has been attributed to Wednesday season 2 scheduling conflicts.

When is Scream 7 coming out?

Scream 7 Release Date

Scream 7 will hit theaters on February 27, 2026. This is an unexpectedly perfect release date because nothing sends a shiver down my spine like winter (and Ghostface of course).

What is Scream 7 going to be about?

Scream 7 Plot

We don't have an official plot for Scream 7 quite yet, but I'm feeling confident we'll see Sidney Prescott and (hopefully) Gale Weathers take down another Ghostface. Scream 6 co-writer Guy Busick has the sole writing credit on this new script, as well as Melissa Barrera's 2024 movieAbigail.

Is Scream 7 confirmed?

Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

Yes, Scream 7 is officially happening! After Scream 6 (which was released in March 2023) became the highest-grossing movie of the whole franchise, a sequel was announced in August of that year. Kevin Williamson, writer for the original 1996 Scream, will direct.
