Q: How old are George Clooney’s twins now? Are he and his wife still married? – E.E.
A: After having graced the cover of “People” magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive issue twice, movie star and Oscar winner George Clooney was officially off the market in 2016 when he wed attorney Amal Alamuddin. She gave birth to twins Alexander and Ella, now 3 years old, and they appear to be a solid duo, keeping the romance alive with handwritten letters to each other even while living under the same roof. The notoriously tech-shy star isn’t on social media either, and he treasures his letters he’s collected and framed from such legends as Paul Newman, Gregory Peck and Walter Cronkite.
Clooney directed and starred in the Netflix sci-fi film “The Midnight Sky” and has been giving interviews promoting it. He speaks lovingly about his wife and twins, telling AARP magazine that he didn’t want to give his kids “weird” names because “They’re already going to have enough trouble. It’s hard being the son of somebody famous and successful.”
Q: When is “Stranger Things” returning for another season? It seems like it’s been forever. Will this be the final season whenever it does come back? – P.C.

A: “Stranger Things” was not immune to the shutdowns that affected production in Hollywood and around the world. This includes the state of Georgia, where most of “Stranger Things” is filmed. I can offer some good news though. Production of the Netflix series resumed this winter, so expect to see season four of the spooky show sometime in 2021.
I won’t give away any potential spoilers, but one thing that’s been widely reported is that Robert Englund is joining the cast as a homicidal prisoner of a psychiatric hospital. He is, of course, best known as ’80s horror movie icon Freddy Krueger. Tom Wlaschiha (“Game of Thrones”) is also a new cast member, joining returning favorites Millie Bobby Brown, David Harbour and Winona Ryder.
According to TVLine.com, there are estimated to be eight episodes in this long-delayed season, but it won’t be the end. Ross Duffer, the mastermind behind “Stranger Things,” stated that the pandemic “has given us time to look ahead, figure out what is best for the show.”
Q: What happened to Elizabeth Vargas since she left “Dateline”? Why did they replace her with Natalie Morales? – S.F.
A: Elizabeth Vargas was never a “Dateline” reporter, but she co-hosted “20/20” for many years. Natalie Morales recently joined “Dateline” as a full-time correspondent. She’ll continue to work on the “Today” show, but has left her job with the entertainment TV news magazine “Access Hollywood.”
As for Vargas, she’s been tapped to host the resurrected “America’s Most Wanted” on Fox when it debuts in the spring. The original series hosted by John Walsh led to the arrest of over 15 of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives along with thousands of other criminals. According to EOnline.com, Walsh has given the new version of “AMW” his blessing.
