Q: As a Generation X’er, my favorite actor of all time is Jason Patric. I must have seen the movie “Lost Boys” 50 times because of him. I’ve lost track of his career over the years. Does he have anything new coming out in theaters? – S.J.
A: Patric has always been reclusive. He didn’t appreciate the paparazzi following him during his high-profile romance with movie star Julia Roberts decades ago. However, he never lost his love of acting and his resume continues to grow.
Next up for Patric is the TV movie “The Girl in the Bathtub,” which is based on a true story and will premiere Sunday, Oct. 7, on the Lifetime network. In the thriller, Patric plays an attorney whose girlfriend, a young paralegal, is found dead of unnatural causes. It turns out she was dating three men in all, each becoming a suspect. The film also stars Australian actress Caitlin Stasey as the unfortunate victim in the title.

Q: When did the new season of “The Last Ship” start up on TNT? I can’t believe I missed the premiere. I’ve been too busy to realize the fall season has already started! – Deborah H., via email
A: “The Last Ship” began its fifth season on Sept. 9 on the TNT network. In the season finale of the fourth season, Chandler (Eric Dane) confronted his enemy in a final showdown. By now you’ve missed only two or three episodes, so you still have time to catch up. Visit www.tntdrama/apps to peruse the many platforms that carry the action-packed drama. The season is expected to conclude Nov. 11.
Q: Is it true that Drake had an affair with Kim Kardashian, or did he just write a song about her for publicity? I’m inclined to believe the latter. – Dawn V., via email
A: Only Drake and Kim know if they’ve ever become intimately acquainted, but fans sure are speculating. In his new song “In My Feelings,” Drake sings about someone named Kiki and asks if she loves him. Kiki is one of Kim Kardashian’s nicknames, so tongues were wagging after the video came out. However, Kim has flatly denied any romantic connection with Drake.
The rapper has either dated or had crushes on several high-profile women. He professed his love to Rihanna on stage when he accepted the VMA Vanguard Award two years ago. Rihanna later told an interviewer that she felt uncomfortable with the public display of affection and that the two aren’t even friends anymore. Drake also reportedly dated tennis superstar Serena Williams, but she claims he was more like a brother to her. He also publicly announced his crush for ESPN reporter Doris Burke by wearing a sweatshirt with her face on it to an NBA game.
So the question is, is Drake a shrewd marketer or a misunderstood romantic? You decide.
