Aspiring actors who wish to join Hollywood, never really know if their dream will come true, and it all feels like a gamble. The same was true with Glen Powell, who, unfortunately, did not have the luxury of elite connections to keep him afloat.

His experiences are a harsh reality check, that shows how easy it is for children of industry insiders to walk through any doors, and have access to the best projects, simply because of their lineage. However, outsiders like Powell, have to fight for every opportunity, and stardom is never served in a silver platter for them.

Whoopi Goldberg’s long-gestating Sister Act 3 is steadily coming together, but only after some necessary adjustments. During an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The View host and Academy Award-winning actress said the death of her Sister Act co-star, Maggie Smith, has led to some changes for the film. Smith played Mother Superior in 1992’s Sister Act and its sequel, Sister Act: Back in the Habit. Smith’s performance as the no-nonsense nun is one of the highlights of the series, and filming a sequel won’t be the same without her.
“We’re having to make some readjustments because we just lost Maggie Smith, as you know,” Goldberg said. “And so, we will get it done. We will get it done. It’s a shift.”

Amid a pullback in TV spending, unscripted production companies Fulwell 73, behind Hulu reality hit “The Kardashians,” and SpringHill Co., founded by NBA superstar LeBron James and Maverick Carter, are in talks to combine forces.
The companies have been discussing a potential merger for several months, two sources confirmed to Variety. Execs at both companies see the tie-up as a merger of equals, not one party acquiring the other. The teams at SpringHill and Fulwell 73, whose partners include James Corden, are looking at what’s happening in the media and entertainment sector and believe that consolidation would create a stronger entity rather than leaving each separately, one source said. The merger talks were first reported by Bloomberg.
The two companies are different enough in their content focus that they think such a combination could help each other grow their businesses, per a source familiar with the talks. In addition, SpringHill...

A pair of major players in unscripted programming are in talks to merge.
SpringHill, the production company founded by NBA star LeBron James and Maverick Carter, and Fulwell 73, the company founded by producers Ben Winston, James Corden, Leo Pearlman, Ben Turner, and Gabe Turner, have been in talks for a few months, a source familiar with the talks confirms to The Hollywood Reporter.
The deal, if it happens, would give the combined company enhanced scale in unscripted programming and in sports, where both companies are active players. SpringHill is behind shows like The Playbook for Netflix and The Crossover for Disney+, as well as films like Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Seth Meyers has been hosting Late Night with Seth Meyers since 2014. He's held down the desk during one of the tumultuous periods in the history of American politics, and as such, he has been forced to addresses the topic on a nightly basis.
Meyers has discussed Donald Trump at length during his renowned A Closer Look segments, but the comedian has made it clear that he will never allow Trump to come on to the show as a guest. He said as much during a 2016 episode of Late Night.
Meyers stood in solidarity with the press
Meyers was appalled by Trump's decision to ban the Washington Post from attending his events over a headline he disliked. Meyers felt the decision was unconscionable, and opted to stand in solidarity with the Post by banning the president from his show:

The BBC World Service has been given its long-awaited funding boost in today’s UK budget, which contained no updates on film and TV tax credits but news on VFX.
While not announced by chancellor Rachel Reeves during her speech in the past hour, the small print in the UK’s budget document says: “In 2025-26, the settlement provides an increase in funding to the BBC World Service, protecting existing foreign language service provision and its mission to deliver globally trusted media, in support of the UK’s global presence and soft power.” The current settlement runs down in March.
The funding boost, the value of which has not been disclosed as of yet, comes out of the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office.
A BBC statement said the corporation “warmly welcomes” the additional funding, adding: “We are pleased the government has acknowledged the strong case for investing in the World Service.

On April 28 James Corden announced that he will be leaving ‘The Late Late Show’ following its 2023 season. Corden has been with the CBS show since 2015 and has created iconic segments like Carpool Karaoke and Crosswalk the Musical which take not only television, but YouTube by storm. Corden states that he loves working for ‘The Late Late Show’ and credits a joyous working environment, but after a year of going out with a bang, it’s time for the next adventure. Perhaps a return to Broadway, or a rise in film roles. Though Corden’s announcement is the most recent, he’ll be joining a renowned group of retired late night hosts.
Hosting late night is an arduous task. The skill set required is like no other, hosts are typically comedians, with a monologue to open the show, they need to maintain their charisma throughout the episode, and they need to be skilled interviewers.

Charlie Puth, DJ Zedd, Rita Ora, Backstreet Boys and his fellow One Direction bandmates are among the celebrities paying tribute to Liam Payne, who died tragically Wednesday at 31.
The former One Direction member fell from the third-floor balcony of a hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina, according to state police, per ABC and CNN.
He was best known for his work in the boy band made up of Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. He went on to have a fairly successful solo music career after leaving the band in 2016. Payne’s debut single, “Strip That Down” featuring Quavo, was released that year. He also collaborated with artists such as DJ Zedd and J Balvin.

TV news insiders can tell you the moment that the world changed for high-priced anchor talent: Nov. 29, 2017, the day Matt Lauer was fired from NBC’s “Today” amid shocking allegations of sexual misconduct. As a quick fix, NBC News turned to Hoda Kotb to replace Lauer as co-anchor alongside Savannah Guthrie for the show’s primary 7-9 a.m. broadcast. And then the network braced for impact.
But the crash never came. “Today” ratings actually improved post-Lauer, who had been making around $20 million annually. That’s a testament to the show and the strength of Kotb and Guthrie as a team. And it was most definitely a wake-up call for the industry.
“You had this kind of myth built up that if this person leaves, the show is doomed,” one news veteran notes says. “It’s driven by the idea you’re afraid that if he leaves, everything comes crumbling down.

Ashton Kutcher’s current relationship with old pal Diddy is — how do we say it? — uncomfortable. But the That ‘70s Show star should have known to walk away a long time ago. After all, Diddy warned him things could go sideways.
That threat goes back to the days of Punk’d, the MTV prank show Kutcher hosted from 2003 to 2007. The show was originally going to pull jokes on Everyday Joes, until an early prank involving a fake corpse (always hilarious!) resulted in a $10 million lawsuit against Kutcher, MTV and a Vegas hotel. The show was quickly retooled to punk celebrities like Frankie Muniz and Eliza Dushku.
As Kutcher and friends brainstormed new celebs to prank, someone came up with Sean Combs or whatever stage name he was rocking at the time. Lucky for Kutcher, word got to Diddy before any practical jokes were deployed.

Have you ever wondered if there are certain things the Kardashian family refuses to film for their popular reality TV show? Keeping Up With the Kardashians originally premiered in 2007 giving viewers insight into what happens behind closed doors for the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Then, The Kardashians premiered on Hulu years later in 2022. The new version of the show is a little different compared to the original since it’s far more clean-cut and controlled. Here’s what Kris Jenner just revealed about what’s off-limits for the camera crew.

Almost exactly a month ago, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon became the last major late-night talk show to cut back on a five-night schedule. Instead of airing a blend of talk and comedy every weeknight, it would air live Monday-Thursday nights, and Friday’s slot would have a rerun. It had been clinging to a five-night schedule while while other shows like Late Night with Seth Meyers scaled back–or, like James Corden‘s Late Late Show, ended altogether.
The hard truth is that TV watching has changed, and people aren’t as willing to tune in at specific times. Many would rather watch programs on streaming, where they can choose when to watch, pause if needed, and skip the deluge of commercial breaks. All genres of television have been affected by this decline in viewership, but late-night talk shows seem especially hard hit.
Could they see a revival on Netflix?...

The married couple of nearly 10 years always present a united front — even when they err on the side of a criminal. Kutcher didn’t attend the premiere of Kunis’s new movie, Goodrich, yesterday. But the pair still seem to have each other’s backs as Kutcher’s past comments about his friendship with Sean “Diddy” Combs surface.

One intriguing chapter in their saga was revealed by Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds.

Matthew Broderick appears to be a serial guest star, with appearances in recent years on Only Murders in the Building, Rick and Morty and Modern Family. But he never turned up on Sex and the City, despite his wife Sarah Jessica Parker being the series star. What’s the deal, Broderick?
There are a couple of reasons, he told James Corden on his This Life of Mine Sirius Xm Show (via People). Scheduling conflicts were one. “Whenever there was a part that I could do,” he claimed, “I couldn’t do it is really all that happened.”
But it might have had more to do with a second reason — the kinds of roles the show was offering him. “Sometimes, it was like, ‘Do you want to do two days as the premature ejaculator?’ And I’d be like, ‘You know, I don’t know, it’s just kind of embarrassing.

Matthew Broderick may not have appeared in Sex and the City — but he wanted to.
The actor and husband of Sarah Jessica Parker, who starred in the HBO series, stopped by James Corden’s This Life of Mine show on SiriusXM. During his conversation with the former late night host, the Ferris Bueller’s Day Off star was asked if it was true he was asked to be in the romance drama multiple times and opted not to.
“Whenever there was a part that I could do, I couldn’t do it is really all that happened,” he explained. “But also sometimes, it was like, ‘Do you want to do two days as the premature ejaculator?’ And I’d be like, ‘You know, I don’t know. It’s just kind of embarrassing.’”
While it would’ve seemed likely that Parker approached him about guest starring in her show, that was never the case.

NBC’s legendary variety series “Saturday Night Live” has been able to attract almost everybody they want as guest hosts throughout the first 49 years. Almost everybody but not quite all of the big stars. In fact, we have compiled a list of 40 celebrities who have shockingly never hosted “SNL,” despite the fact that many of them have probably been asked.
When creating this list of names, we only chose people who are still alive and active in the entertainment industry. There are certainly many others long gone or inactive that are also surprising omissions.
Our gallery includes such Oscar winners as Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, Viola Davis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Morgan Freeman, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Lange, Al Pacino, Brad Pitt (although he did make an Emmy-nominated appearance in 2020), Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington.

Former TV host James Corden divulged that he had previously attempted to use the viral diet drug Ozempic to lose weight – but it didn’t yield any results for him.
An Fda-approved prescription medication for type 2 diabetes, Ozempic has become an increasingly popular (and dangerous) diet tactic, particularly among celebrities.
In conversation with his guest, Richard Osman, on an episode of his podcast This Life of Mine, Corden reviewed his life-long battle with bad food habits and addiction.

He told Demi Moore that he struggled mightily to pull off an episode with Rick Ross, due to the rapper's bizarre and unpredictable behavior.

The result has been pretty divisive, especially for Kylie Jenner, whose friend circle seems to be getting smaller by the day. And the reason might be Timothée Chalamet.
Kylie Jenner has become a “homebody”

Throughout his action-studded career, Tom Cruise has never once hesitated to take that extra step to deliver the ultimate realistic experience to viewers and fans that has them seated at the edge of their seats. Be it doing death-defying stunts or pulling off real-time Gs for his aviation projects, he has never once shied away from doing things others would consider “crazy” to do.

That said, when people fail to properly acknowledge the work he has done by intentionally choosing not to have that ultimate viewing experience as opposed to his wishes, Cruise really does get batsh-t crazy. Just like the times he did when Miles Teller and James Cordon tried to get under his skin by watching his films exactly the way he told them not to.

Perry Kurtz, a Los Angeles comedian who appeared on season eight of America’s Got Talent as well as on The Late Late Show with James Corden, has died in a hit-and-run collision. He was 73.
Kurts died Thursday when he was struck by a Honda Civic in Tarzana around 11:20 p.m., per the Los Angeles Police Department. His death was later confirmed by the L.A. Country Medical Examiner’s Office, the cause of death deemed to be blunt force injuries.
LAPD arrested 18-year-old Nathan Jaimes in connection with the hit-and-run.
