"High School Musical" star Ashley Tisdale had no idea she was related to one of our generation's biggest stars. Back in 2022, Tisdale appeared on Ancestry's webshow "2 Lies & A Leaf" to learn more about her heritage. "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" actor appears in the episode alongside her sister, Jennifer. It seems like a talent for showbiz runs deep in the Tisdale-Butler family, as, in the video, Ashley found out that she's 10th cousins once removed from "Dune" star Austin Butler.

You simply can't escape Sabrina Carpenter these days. The voice behind "Espresso," the quintessential song of 2024, Carpenter's rise to prominence as a pop culture icon should genuinely be studied. From back-to-back chart-worthy pop bops, a high-profile relationship with a certain Batman actor, and tons of memes surrounding her, Carpenter has dominated 2024 as a true superstar. What's interesting, however, is that most don't know that she has a pretty weighty filmography. A multi-hyphenate talent, casual fans might not even know that Carpenter has appeared in dozens of films and television shows. They also might not be aware that Carpenter is related to a "Simpsons" star.

When it comes to hidden gems in Spain, Barcelona is hardly on that list. As one of the most visited cities in the country, Barcelona saw some 15.6 million tourists in 2023, with a huge majority of international travelers coming from the United States, United Kingdom, and France. Barcelona is home to some of Spain's most popular attractions, like the city's iconic cathedral, the Sagrada Família Basilica, and so much more.

Olivia Cooke has quietly become one of Hollywood's most intriguing stars. Though she has no major awards under her belt (yet!), Cooke has proven her talent through a number of diverse roles throughout the years. From action-packed blockbusters that dominated at the box office to mature, high-octane television shows, Cooke is showing no signs of stopping. And why would she? The actress kicked off her career in 2012 with the British show "Blackout" and has since become a consistent presence on both the big and small screen.

Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic started wrapping up, several Hollywood films found interesting ways to discuss class warfare and inequality with their elevated premises. One such film was 2022's "The Menu," which actually references the pandemic in a striking way. The pic, which nailed its fine dining aesthetic

Buckle up murder-mystery fans, because "Wake Up Dead Man" is stumbling onto Netflix in 2025. The third film in the Knives Out franchise, "Wake Up Dead Man" illustrates a major Hollywood problem

"Scream" is still the franchise that keeps on giving. Originally the brainchild of horror maverick Wes Craven, the series kicked off in 1996. The first "Scream" quickly became a cultural phenomenon thanks to its ripe social commentary, meta-narrative, and impressive ability to add more fuel to the slasher genre. Naturally, a number of sequels manifested, with Craven finding inventive new ways to advance the overall story. Seeing as the films often mock sequels and franchises, it makes sense that repetition is part of the "Scream" DNA. There are things that happen in every "Scream" movie, including a gleeful third act that peels the layers back on who each film's Ghostface is.

LaKeith Stanfield made his cinematic debut in 2013's "Short Term 12" and quickly became one of Hollywood's most intriguing stars. It didn't take long for him to become a cinematic presence that you simply couldn't ignore. In just over a decade, Stanfield has proven himself as one of our greatest actors, lending his talents to over a dozen high-profile projects. Today, he boasts one Oscar nomination, and while he didn't take home the best supporting actor award, it wouldn't surprise us if he wins one by the end of the decade thanks to his immense work ethic and talent.
