I did a thing!!! What if Jersey Shore wasn’t just reality TV—what if it was a full-blown movie starring Charli XCX as Snooki, Doja Cat as JWoww, and Troye Sivan as Vinny?

In this premiere episode of The Big Recast, legendary casting director Doron Ofir returns to his most infamous creation with a bold mission: reimagine Jersey Shore for the big screen with a brand-new celebrity lineup. Packed with casting insight, behind-the-scenes stories, and wild what-if scenarios, this episode dives deep into the chaos, charisma, and cultural impact of the GTL crew—through the lens of modern Hollywood.

The Big Recast is part fan fantasy, part professional masterclass. Each episode takes a beloved show and recasts it with today’s biggest actors and musicians—blending nostalgia with star power and cinematic ambition. If you've ever argued about who should’ve played who, this is your show.

NOW CASTING – “Sharing Space” Series | The Trevor Project

Let’s talk about what really matters.

Sometimes, just being heard is enough to change someone’s life. That’s why The Trevor Project is continuing its powerful conversation series, “Sharing Space”—where LGBTQ+ young people sit down with supportive adults to talk, listen, and connect.

We’re currently casting for 2 new episodes:

EPISODE THEME 1: Peer Support

We’re looking for LGBTQ+ young people (ages 18–24) who’ve felt the real impact of peer support—whether through a friend, a teacher, a team, an online space, or chosen family.
This is your chance to be seen, heard, and to help others by simply telling the truth.

We’re especially hoping to find folks from or currently living in:
Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, or Hawaii. (But if you’re elsewhere, don’t count yourself out.)

EPISODE THEME 2: Conversion Therapy Survivors

We’re also casting LGBTQ+ adults of all ages who survived conversion therapy and are now in a stable, healthy place.
This conversation is meant to educate, expose, and empower—with truth at the center. You are not alone. You’ve lived through it. If you’re ready to speak, we’re ready to listen—and amplify.

We’re especially hoping to find folks from or currently living in:
Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, or Hawaii. (But if you’re elsewhere, don’t count yourself out.)

This isn’t reality TV. This is real life. Real voices. Real impact.

If you or someone you know is ready to be part of the conversation, apply online at:

Heartbroken.
Kirk Medas was one of our originals on Floribama Shore—funny, fearless, full of life. I’ll never forget his audition tape. He had that spark, that it factor. You just knew.
Sending love and strength to his family, his friends, and everyone who knew and loved him.
Rest easy, Kirk.
May his memory be a blessing.

Dear Friends,

As a Board Member of the D’Addario Foundation, a nonprofit focused on increasing access to music education, I ask you to donate to the D’Addario Foundation’s Emergency Response Fund to support our programs impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.

D’Addario & Company will match all funds raised up to $25,000. Donate by 3/31/25 to double your impact.

The recent California wildfires have devastated some of the Los Angeles nonprofits we support, including Harmony Project, Global Arts, and Neighborhood Music School. Many of the families these organizations serve have lost their homes and livelihoods and are in desperate need of essential items. The nonprofits have lost buildings, musical instruments, and access to program sites.

It is critical that – today – we help Angelenos rebuild to ensure these nonprofit music organizations and the more than 5,000 families they collectively serve emerge stronger than ever.

100% of all donations made to the D’Addario Foundation’s Emergency Response Fund by 3/31/25 will be donated directly to Los Angeles nonprofits in need of wildfire relief.

Please donate today to help us unlock $25,000 in matching funds from D’Addario & Company. Your contribution is 100% tax deductible.

Thank you for stepping up to support thousands of families throughout Los Angeles.

Sincerely,

Doron Ofir

100% OF FUNDS RAISED THROUGH 3/31/2025 WILL SUPPORT THOSE IMPACTED BY THE LOS ANGELES WILDFIRES.🎵 D’Addario & Company will match up to $25,000 in donations through 3/31/2025. 🎵The D’Addario…

Saturday marks the birthday of my friend and old partner Stan Lee, born Stanley Martin Lieber, was the son of Romanian Jewish immigrants who grew up during the Great Depression. His Jewish values of justice, empathy, and perseverance shaped his legendary Marvel creations like Spider-Man, X-Men, and Black Panther.

Through characters like Magneto, a Holocaust survivor, and stories tackling discrimination, Stan wove universal themes of resilience and standing up for the marginalized. His legacy as a storyteller and advocate for representation continues to inspire. Excelsior, Stan.
