Jennifer is a TV and Movie News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.

Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available. 

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.

Her Alien: Earth coverage for ScreenRant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.

She was initially a finance and political editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.

During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

Mike Myers isn't done with the Shrek franchise just yet, as he may have something else up his sleeve after Shrek 5.

With Myers set to reprise his iconic role as the titular ogre in Shrek 5 next summer, the actor is already expressing interest in joining another project in the franchise. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Myers expressed his enthusiasm for returning to the beloved character, praising the films' writing, creative team, and the positive messages conveyed through the films. He also praised his co-stars Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy, making it clear that he remains eager to be part of the franchise's future.

Now, the Shrek franchise is expanding beyond its upcoming fifth installment, with a standalone Donkey movie also in development. Although Myers is uncertain whether Shrek will appear in the spinoff, he hasn't shut the door on the possibility at all, saying that he would be interested in joining the cast of the upcoming movie.
