A Film Adaptation Of A Beloved Judy Blume Novel Is Finally Underway

It has been 48 years, but fans are finally going to see a favorite Judy Blume book brought to the big screen.


James L. Brooks' Gracie Films has secured the rights to Are You There God? It's Me Margaret. Kelly Fremon Craig will adapt the story and direct.

To say Blume fans are excited is an understatement. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, published in 1970 grew to become the tween girl bible. Although, young people and parents are much more open to discussing puberty now, at the time of the book's release, young girls didn't always have someone to ask questions about periods, bras and crushes. Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, was a game changer. The book was considered so risque that many school libraries banned it. That didn't stop girls from sharing the book and making it a best seller for over 40 years.

Blume took to Twitter to tease the new deal.

No pressure. It is just millions of girlhood memories at stake.

Entertainment journalist and Glamour magazine Senior West Coast Editor Jessica Radloff's new book, Young Sheldon: The (Juicier-Than-Meemaw’s-Brisket) Inside Story of the Hit Comedy, shared a story about actor Emily Osment joining the show in its fifth season that's drawing praise for her consideration for her fellow child star, Montana Jordan.

Osment, who began acting at age five, is one of a rare breed in Hollywood—a child star turned successful adult actor. It's a journey many kids have infamously stumbled on, but that Jordan has also successfully navigated perhaps in part thanks to Osment.

Texas GOP's Bizarre Text Warning Voters About 'Weirdo Furry Socialists' Sparks Mockery

A Texas political action committee sparked online mockery after multiple people independently told the San Antonio Current they received a text message urging Texans to vote Republican to keep so-called "furry Socialists" from choosing their leaders.

The message was sent Saturday alongside a photo purportedly showing a man wearing a fox-tail accessory as he left a polling location in Collin County. The message identified its sender as Texans for Common Sense, a political action committee funded entirely by Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC, a far-right organization backed by West Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn.
