Macaulay Culkin Won't Be in the Home Alone Reboot, but This Other Cast Member Will

-

When the Disney+ Home Alone reboot Home Sweet Home Alone was announced, fans of the original hit holiday film all had the same question: will Macaulay Culkin reprise his role as an adult version of the beloved Kevin McCallister?

It's been more than three decades since the debut of Home Alone, and its warm reception resulted in the concept turning into a franchise. Macaulay appeared in two of the four installments: the original hit and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. However, he skipped out on Home Alone 3 and the made-for-TV version titled Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House.

Now, the franchise is back for a rebooted hit titled Home Sweet Home Alone. So of course, given that it's a reboot and not a sequel, fans were naturally curious about whether Macaulay would have a cameo or even resurrect his role as an all-grown-up Kevin.

Unfortunately for Kevin stans, Culkin confirmed he wouldn't be involved in the upcoming holiday film on Twitter. "Hey y'all," he wrote on Oct. 12. "Just a heads up since I've been getting this question a lot today: I am NOT in the new Home Alone reboot. I wish all involved the best of luck, though."

Even without Macaulay's presence, the holiday reboot still sounds like a hit with its star-studded cast. Home Sweet Home Alone features Jojo Rabbit lead Archie Yates as Max, who's accidentally forgotten behind when his family go on a trip. Similar to the original comedy, Max spars with burglars, who, this time, are played by The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Ellie Kemper and Deadpool 2's Rob Delaney. Saturday Night Live legends Chris Parnell and Kenan Thompson will also play major roles.

Trust that Home Sweet Home Alone will deliver on the nostalgia from the original films, though. Beyond the reboot following a similar plot as the original 1990 classic, Home Sweet Home Alone gives a nod to Home Alone by bringing back Devin Ratray, who played Kevin's older brother Buzz in the original, as a neighborhood cop. So even though Home Sweet Home Alone doesn't include Culkin, it's sure to bring laughs and heartwarming moments just like the original Home Alone has for the past 30 years. You can catch its debut on Disney+ on Nov. 12.

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
