Rock On! ‘School of Rock’ Cast: Where Are They Now?
In 2003, writer Mike White collaborated with Jack Black and director Richard Linklater on the musical comedy School of Rock that later spawned a Nickelodeon series and a Tony-nominated musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
In the original movie, struggling singer Dewey Finn (Black) goes undercover as a substitute teacher for a local prep school in order to earn some quick cash to pay his rent. He pretends to be his best friend and former bandmate, Ned Schneebly (White), and discovers that his students all have gifted musical talents. He teams up with the children to form a band, intent on entering a Battle of the Bands competition to bag its cash prize.
White originally penned the script after living next to Black in Los Angeles, wanting to show off his comedic chops.
“He was starting to get a lot of heat as an actor and he would occasionally give me scripts that had been submitted to him to star in,” White recalled to Viacom in October 2018. “They were invariably these flat comedies or he was, like, the John Belushi guy who gets drunk and falls through a sliding glass door or something. I’m reading these scripts and I was like, ‘I could do better than this.’”
The White Lotus creator continued, “Obviously, music is a big passion of [Black’s]; he has his band Tenacious D. I had the idea of him leading a band of little kids — somehow it just seemed like a funny visual.”

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s Family Album Over the Years
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have long bragged about their three shared children, sharing adorable updates and sweet family insights.
The couple’s eldest daughter, Honor, arrived one month after their May 2008 nuptials, followed by Haven in August 2011. Alba later gave birth to son Hayes in December 2017.
The actress called her youngest “the best gift to ring in the New Year” in a January 2018 Instagram post, writing, “Cash and I feel so blessed. Haven and Honor are already obsessed with their new baby bro.”
In a post of his own, Warren gushed, “You showed up a few days early, but we couldn’t be any happier. Your Mamma is the strongest woman I know … you’re so lucky to have her by your side. You have two amazing sisters who already adore you and I know you’ll be thankful to have them guide the way. On your first day of life, I promise to love you, to cherish you and to provide you with a sandbox full of dreams to explore. Welcome to the family my sweet baby Hayes!”
Two years later, Alba told Jimmy Fallon that she considers Hayes to be her “cutest” child.
“Honor is not as good with Hayes as Haven,” she said during a May 2019 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “[Haven] literally has an American Girl doll on one hip and Hayes on the other hip. She basically was complaining of sciatic pain [and] it’s because she holds this heavy baby. He’s, like, half her size.”
In January 2025, Alba and Warren split after 16 years of marriage.

Brody and Brandon Jenner’s Ups and Downs With the Kardashian-Jenner Family
Brody Jenner and Brandon Jenner aren’t always keeping up with the Kardashians.
Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian and Rob Kardashian gained four stepsiblings — Burt Jenner, Casey Jenner, Brandon and Brody — when Caitlyn Jenner married Kris Jenner in 1991. (The former Olympian, who transitioned in 2015, shares her two eldest children with ex-wife Chrystie Scott and Brandon and Brody with ex-wife Linda Thompson.)
Caitlyn and Kris went on to welcome Kendall Jenner in 1995 and Kylie Jenner in 1997.
As they got older, Brandon and Brody entered the spotlight in 2005 via Princes of Malibu, which followed their mother’s marriage to David Foster. After Thompson filed for divorce, Fox pulled the remaining episodes. Brody went on to star in several seasons of The Hills, which debuted in 2007.
While the Jenner boys were seen on a handful of episodes of the E! show in the early seasons, Brody and Brandon weren’t cast members until season 7. Things took a turn when Kim opted not to give the former MTV star a plus one to her wedding to Kanye West in 2014.
While Brody and Brandon didn’t have public beef with Kendall and Kylie, their relationships haven’t been perfect either.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s Honest Relationship Quotes Before Split
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren have been vocal about their efforts to keep the spark in their relationship alive while raising three children.
The couple met while working on 2004’s Fantastic Four, which Alba starred in as Susan Storm and Warren was a production assistant. After dating for nearly four years, the duo tied the knot in May 2008.
Warren cofounder reflected on their spur-of-the-moment decision to get hitched in 2019 while honoring his wife on their 11-year anniversary. He noted that the choice to get married came one month before they welcomed their first child, daughter Honor, in June 2008.
“Prior to that day, neither of us thought marriage was important … it felt outdated and we weren’t going to fall for an antiquated social construction,” Warren wrote via Instagram in May 2019 of the last-minute nuptials. “But something changed in us that morning.”
Warren — the pair also share daughter Haven and son Hayes, born in 2011 and 2017, respectively — added that their quick wedding was just the right fit for them as a family.
“11 years and 3 kids later, we’re still learning, growing, giggling and loving,” he added. “Here’s to a lifetime of pushing each other to be the best versions of ourselves and catching each other when we fall.”
In January 2025, news broke that Alba and Warren called it quits after 16 years of marriage.

Travis Kelce Gives Insight Into His Ideal Season for a Wedding
Travis Kelce might be head over heels for girlfriend Taylor Swift, but that doesn’t mean he’s automatically willing to possibly walk down the wedding aisle during football season.
During the Wednesday, January 8, episode of his hit podcast “New Heights,” Travis, 35, and his brother Jason Kelce answered an inquiry about fall weddings as part of their “No Dumb Questions” segment.
“I actually don’t know people who’ve gotten married in the fall, because the all the weddings I’ve been to — my friends always do it in the summer,” the tight end said in response to a caller who revealed his girlfriend wants to get married in the fall despite his insistence that he is “gonna be at a football game.”
“You guys gotta be more in sync on things,” Travis added, voicing his concern for the caller’s relationship dynamic and willingness to find common ground. “You gotta be willing to, you know, find a weekend where the team isn’t playing anybody good.”

The Super Bowl champ went on to say that he’s “seen weddings in f–king February, I’ve seen weddings everywhere, but the fall… I’m not so sure if the fall is a good wedding season.”
Though Travis and Swift have been mum about their own relationship plans, others in their orbit have been only too happy to chime in on where they think the pair’s romance is headed.
In an interview with The Mirror published Friday, January 3, former NFL corner and pro-bowler Adam “Pacman” Jones said Travis and Swift “are going to get married” this year, “after football.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Friends Are Hoping for an Engagement
Jones also took issue with the conspiracy theory that the pair are not in a “real” relationship. “I think they are in a real relationship,” he said. “I know Trav, because he went to UC. His love [is genuine]. When he says he is with somebody, he is with somebody.”
Of Travis’ most recent ex-girlfriend, Jones added that “he was with her and he found something better and he moved on.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Jones also praised the two for how their relationship has elevated Travis’ position on and off the field. “I love it,” he said. “I wish I was that smart when I was young. What I’m saying is you see how many marketing deals he is getting. You see how many jerseys he’s selling.”
Travis and Swift were first linked in September 2023, after the “Anti-Hero” singer was photographed at a Kansas City Chiefs game. In an interview for TIME’s Person of the Year, Swift, 35, opened up about her relationship for the first time.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said at the time. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple.”
