Media mogul Byron Allen, who owns The Weather Channel, made a $30 billion offer for the debt and equity of Paramount Global. The official word from Allen Media Group: “Mr. Byron Allen did submit a bid on behalf of Allen Media Group and its strategic partners to purchase all of Paramount Global’s outstanding shares. We believe this $30 billion offer, which includes debt and equity, is the best solution for all of the Paramount Global shareholders, and the bid should be taken seriously and pursued.” The reported m.o. for Allen would be to sell the Paramount film studio, real estate and IP. He would keep the linear networks, plus Paramount+ and operate the streamer more efficiently.

During an interview on The Pivot Podcast, Gayle King opened up about her dating experiences. Gayle disclosed that her success and fame have often posed challenges in finding a suitable partner. She shared, "What’s difficult is that people say, ‘Oh, you’re so intimidating.’ Somebody said to me once, ‘Gayle, look at your shoes … look at your bag, look at your coat. You’re friends with Oprah [Winfrey].’ A guy looks at that and says, ‘I can’t compete with that.’ But my thing is, it’s not a matter of competing. I’m not looking for someone to compete." Gayle went on to recount the incident that led her to end her relationship with her previous beau. "I went on a date. I was really excited, very excited about it," she said. "We’d gone out maybe two months, and then he said he really needed to talk to me. He wanted to have a private conversation…[he said,] ‘Do you think you could lend me $4,000?’ I’m like, oh God." Upon learning of the request, Oprah had an epic response. "You know what Oprah said, ‘God, I would have felt better if he had said $40,000,’” King explained. "I was so crushed because he was somebody who was making, you know, six figures, successful. And when I said, you know, could I ask what it’s for? He said, Yeah, it was for a child support issue and to pay a payment on some furniture. [And I said to myself] ‘Oh God, this is just getting worse.’” Despite lending the money, the relationship didn’t endure much longer.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, who are married, have landed roles together in a movie for the first time in two decades. In “Connescence,” Bacon and Sedgwick play the leads, joined by White Lotus star Brittany O’Grady and Oscar-nominated The Fabelmans actor Judd Hirsch. Bacon plays Stan Olszewski, a sharp, funny, but chronically underachieving security guard, who breaks up an attempted robbery at the home of Cynthia Rand (Sedgwick), a successful urologist married to brilliant former Watergate prosecutor Warren Rand (Judd Hirsch). From this chance encounter grows a charged and dynamic friendship – first as late-night text sessions filled with humor and intimate revelations, growing into something that shakes the foundation of both their lives.

Kevin James was asked about reviving “The King of Queens.” “I would never say never,” James told The NY Post. “They were asking me about [rebooting] ‘King of Queens’ and I don’t think that’s possible because a third of that big core cast is gone.” James was referring to Jerry Stiller, who played oddball father-in-law Arthur Spooner on the CBS show, which aired from 1998-2007 with James and Leah Remini in the lead roles. “Jerry Stiller was such an amazing part of that show,” James said. “To me, it would be hard to do it without him and I don’t know how that would work.” He didn’t completely write off the idea of doing a reboot, however. “It can work — they did it with ‘Frasier’ [on Paramount+] … but it depends on the show and the story and if there’s more to tell or if you’re just getting back together to get back together,” he said. “It’s tough to recapture that nostalgia, it really is.”

Jay Leno recently initiated the process of obtaining conservatorship for his wife, Mavis, aged 77, following her diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease. The filing of legal documents to secure conservatorship over Mavis' estate occurred on a Friday, as reported by TMZ. The timeline of Mavis' Alzheimer's diagnosis remains unspecified. Alzheimer's is a progressive and degenerative brain disease characterized by the accumulation of abnormal proteins, leading to the death of nerve cells. Having shared a life together for over four decades since their marriage in 1980, Jay Leno seeks conservatorship, a legal status involving the court appointment of an individual to oversee the personal and financial affairs of a minor or an incapacitated person.

On “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on Wednesday, Sofia told Kelly to “shut up” after the host referred to her physical transformation as “slight.” “This is incredible. I feel like they only changed your nose or something,” Kelly said, to which a taken aback Sofia replied, “What? Are you crazy?” Kelly continued: “Whatever they did though, it looks slight.” “No Kelly, it was hours,” Sofia corrected her while the audience laughed. “They did a lot to me! It was teeth. It was wig. It was nose. It was plastic from here to here!”

To be in a film that people have seen three and four and five times and they come up to you and tell you that…”

Elle King is catching heat for her performance at the Grand Ole Opry Friday night during a Dolly Parton tribute concert celebrating the country singer’s 78th birthday. King, the daughter of actor Rob Schneider, was caught on video from multiple angles performing what fans thought was a bad cover of Dolly’s "Marry Me." During the performance, according to one TikTok video, Elle admitted onstage she didn't know the words to the song: "I don't know the lyrics to these things in this (expletive) town/Don't tell Dolly 'cause it's her birthday." Addressing the audience, she said: "I'm not even gonna (expletive) lie … y'all bought tickets for this (expletive), you ain't getting your money back." "I don't want it," one fan shouted back. "Good, 'cause you ain't getting it," King replied. Then, she added: "I'll tell you one thing more … hi, my name is Elle King. I'm (expletive) hammered." According to TikTok user @jamiek721, King cursed over a dozen times at the Ryman Auditorium Friday where children were also in attendance.

Common is opening up about his relationship amid rumors he is dating Jennifer Hudson. The rapper and Hudson talked about their relationship yesterday on The Jennifer Hudson Show. Common had nothing but praise for his partner but didn’t mention Hudson by name. "I'm in a relationship that is [with] one of the most beautiful people I ever met in life," he said. "She's smart, she loves God, she has something real down to earth about her. She's talented." Common did say his partner is an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony-winning (EGOT) performer. Hudson became an EGOT artist in 2022 following her Tony win for A Strange Loop. "She had to win an Oscar on her first movie," Common said. "She had to get her own talk show." Hudson chimed in, saying she "is dating this brother" and is "very happy." "This relationship is a happy place for me," Common added. "For me, it's one of those things where I found where seeing her happy actually makes me really happy. I'm very grateful. I thank God each and every day and I'm just letting God guide this relationship."

The decision to indict Baldwin was announced on Friday after a New Mexico grand jury heard evidence presented by special prosecutors Kari Morrissey and Jason Lewis.

Monday night’s Emmys saw the cast of “Cheers” reunite, with Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, Kelsey Grammer, John Ratzenberger and George Wendt gracing the Peacock Theater’s stage in Los Angeles. One person from the 1980s show didn’t visit the reconstructed Bull & Finch Pub, where the former castmates discussed their “long overdue class reunion.” Woody Harrelson, who appeared in the show’s fourth season as bartender Woody, was noticeably absent from the stage. However, the awards show’s producers have since explained his absence. “Woody Harrelson couldn’t make ‘Cheers’ because he’s in a play,” Jesse Collins, an executive producer for the Emmys, said. “So there were a few people where there were just logistical challenges. But we were lucky to get so many people who were willing to participate,” Collins added.

You may have heard they may be doing a movie about me with Pauly Shore. I have never given my permission for this movie. So don’t believe everything you read.

Pierce Brosnan is claiming innocence after authorities said he ventured into restricted areas of Yellowstone. The actor pleaded not guilty to two violations stemming from Nov. 1. That's despite the fact that the actor "appears to have forgotten his lessons in spy secrecy, posting photos that look like they're from the off-limits area," TMZ reports, sharing one pic that looks to show Brosnan standing in snow in front of Yellowstone's Mammoth Terraces, rather than on the boardwalk. An initial hearing set for Jan. 23 has been pushed back to Feb. 20 and will take place virtually. Pierce could face up to six months in jail and a $5,000 fine if convicted.

As the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live approaches, there has been speculation about Lorne Michaels’ future on the show as executive producer. While walking the red carpet at the Emmys, Michaels was asked about his retirement plans and said he would make a decision around the time the show hits the milestone in 2025. “We’re doing the 50th-anniversary show in February of ’25, so I will definitely be there for that, and definitely be there until that, and sometime before that, we’ll figure out what we’re gonna do,” he said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. ET’s Nischelle Turner suggested Tina Fey’s name as a possible successor for him, to which he said, “It could easily be Tina Fey, but you know, there are a lot of people who are there now who are also, you know…” “Tina’s brilliant and great at everything. She’s a very important person in my life,” he added.

A bunch of internet celebs are starring in a new sandwich competition from Gordon Ramsay. The celebrity chef is launching Idiot Sandwich on his YouTube channel today. Comedy duo Rhett & Link, magician Zach King and social media influencer Lexi Hensler are among those starring in the series, which originated from a clip of Ramsay on The Late Late Show with James Corden where he held two slices of bread against Julie Chen’s face as he was yelling at her in a kitchen. Episodes launch weekly on Ramsay’s YouTube channel, which has over 20 million followers. There are no current plans for a linear show, but the idea is to expand into the world of book publishing, products, merchandising and experiences. Here’s what Gordon said: “It was incredible to watch that one tongue-in-cheek moment, turn into this huge, viral sensation. I’ve been thinking for a while about trying to find a smart way of turning the ‘Idiot Sandwich’ meme into its own series. As an idea that exploded on the internet and across social media, there was no better way to bring this series to life, than having it air as a digital exclusive, have some fun and showcase the sandwich-making skills of some of the biggest influencers and content creators out there.”

Netflix is teasing the new film Spaceman. The streaming service dropped a new trailer for the sci-fi drama yesterday featuring Adam Sandler.

Desperate to fix things with his wife, Lenka (Carey Mulligan), he is helped by a mysterious creature from the beginning of time he finds hiding in the ship. Hanuš (voiced by Paul Dano) works with Jakub to make sense of what went wrong before it is too late.

At the second of the two, Madonna made the slip of the tongue, before correcting herself.

Last night at the Emmys, actor and Wrexham A.F.C. co-owner Rob McElhenney checked in on his beloved Philadelphia Eagles. With the Eagles in Tampa to face the Buccaneers in last night’s Wild Card playoff game, McElhenney was pictured watching a pre-game show by his wife Kaitlin Olson. “Who schedules the Emmys the same night as the @eagles,” McElhenney asked on social media when reposting the image.

Fans hoping Kevin Hart will one day host the Oscars are in for a disappointment. In an interview on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live that aired Thursday, Hart said that gig isn’t going to happen. “Kill the idea of it, it’s not going to happen,” said Hart, when host Andy Cohen said he was “still ready” for him to host the Academy Awards. “There’s just no return of good,” Hart continued. “What is it doing for me? There’s no upside at this point. That’s the only reason why.” In 2018, Hart was announced as the 91st Oscar ceremony’s emcee — until controversy over past homophobic comments he’d made on social media forced him to step down. The Academy then opted to have no host for the 2019 ceremony.

According to reports, Tom Cruise is going to be back for Top Gun 3. It’s also being reported that Miles Teller and Glen Powell will be back for the new movie. Puck News says Top Gun: Maverick co-writer Ehren Kruger is writing a script for the third entry in the series.

Keanu Reeves is set to release his first novel this year in collaboration with British “weird fiction” author China Miéville. The Book of Elsewhere, which comes out July 23, tells the tale of an immortal warrior who spends millennia trying to understand his own immortality. It’s set in the world of the actor's comic book series BRZRKR, which was first published in 2021 with writer Matt Kindt and artist Ron Garney.

In a new interview with Variety, Kristen Stewart got candid about her movie-making career. The actress revealed that she now recognizes queerness in her Twilight franchise and expressed her disdain for filming Charlie's Angels. “I can only see it now, I don’t think it necessarily started off that way, but I also think that the fact that I was there at all, it was percolating,” Stewart - who came out in 2017 - said of the 2008 teen vampire romance. “It’s such a gay movie.” As for Elizabeth Banks' 2019 reboot of Charlie's Angels, Kristen admitted: “I hated making that movie. I don’t know what else to say.” She then referenced the original 2000 film featuring Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu, and Drew Barrymore, adding, “Honestly, the three … you can’t touch [that]. Cameron, Lucy and Drew … I love that movie. I love that movie! If that says anything.”

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are not having marital problems. The two stars sparked a debate on Sunday after social media sleuths tried to decipher what Krasinski told his wife on the red carpet at the Golden Globes. Some believe he told her: “I can't wait for a divorce.” However, the couple “are absolutely not talking about divorce,” according to a source who spoke with Us Weekly. “There are no issues with Emily and John,” the insider shared, adding, “They think the rumors are funny and ridiculous.”

Steve Martin took to social media to defend Jo Koy amid the backlash over his Golden Globes hosting duties that included a mention of Taylor Swift that didn’t land well. “I tip my hat to anyone who steps out on stage to host a live awards show. It’s a very difficult job and not for the squeamish,” Martin wrote on Threads. “I know because I’m still throwing up from the last time I did it in 2010.” Martin has hosted the Oscars three times, two times as the solo host and a third round with Alec Baldwin. After all the criticism, Martin feels that Koy could use this experience for his stand-up. “So, Congratulations to Jo Koy, who took on the toughest gig in show business, hit, missed, was light on his feet, and now has twenty minutes of new material for his stand-up!” Martin added.

“Reacher” star Alan Ritchson revealed in a TikTok video on Friday that he was walking to dinner on a date with his wife in Montreal, Canada when they saw someone breaking into a car. Ignoring the plea from his wife Catherine Ritchson to not get involved, Ritchson went into "instant 'Reacher' mode," and chased the person for four blocks until he "tossed him into a building and the cops came." His wife wasn’t happy about what he did, Ritchson said, adding that "she was very mad at me."

Nominations for the 30th annual SAG Awards were announced yesterday. Winners in the 15 categories will be announced Saturday, February 24 at the Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles in a ceremony streaming live on Netflix.

Prince's Purple Rain is set to be turned into a stage musical. On Monday, theatre producer Orin Wolf confirmed the 1984 rock musical film is being adapted for the Broadway stage. The musical will follow the story of an up-and-coming rock musician in the Minneapolis club scene. It will feature a number of iconic Prince tracks, including When Doves Cry, Lets Go Crazy, I Would Die 4 U, as well as the titular song, Purple Rain.

Timothée Chalamet is caught in between a lot of rumored drama following Sunday night’s Golden Globes, where viewers speculated that Selena Gomez at one point whispered to Taylor Swift that Kylie Jenner had forbade her from taking a photo with the Wonka actor. But in a recent run-in with TMZ, he said there isn’t any beef between the parties involved.

Sony announced yesterday that the release date for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has been pushed up by one week, from March 29 to March 22. The new movie sees the Spengler family returning to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – teaming up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.

Ed Sheeran has described his first-ever Emmy win as a "real surprise." The singer won the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics prize at the Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards for A Beautiful Game on Saturday. The song was featured in the Ted Lasso finale and was written by Ed and his co-writing partners Max Martin and Foy Vance. Ed addressed his win on Instagram alongside footage of him recording the song. "I was not expecting to win at all, it was a real real surprise waking up to the news, I wish I had been there but I'm just about to kick off the Asia tour so had to be elsewhere sadly," he wrote in the caption.

In his first interview since standing trial for assault and harassment of ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, actor Jonathan Majors talked about the trial’s verdict, which he said “absolutely shocked” him. On Dec. 18, Majors was found guilty on one charge of reckless assault in the third degree and on one harassment charge. He was found not guilty, however, on a charge of intentional assault in the third degree and a charge of aggravated harassment in the second degree. (Jabbari had alleged that she was assaulted by Majors in the backseat of a car, with Majors becoming upset when she took his phone out of his hands and saw he was sending texts to another woman.) Yesterday on “GMA,” Majors said the two guilty verdicts left him with feelings of shock and fear, asserting that Jabbari’s injuries “did not happen” as a result of his own behavior. “I wish to God I knew [how her injuries came to be],” Majors replied, when Davis pressed him on how Jabbari fractured her finger and got a cut behind her ear. “That would give clarity. That would give me some type of peace about it… I have no question [I did not cause the injuries].”

Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa are one step closer to being finally “free.” Bonet has finally filed for divorce from Momoa, two years after announcing their split in January 2022. Bonet has asked the judge for a dissolution of marriage, according to new court docs. The exes were together for 12 years and married for nearly five. The actress cites the date of separation as Oct. 7, 2020.

Michael Bolton is facing a health setback in the new year. In a message to fans on Friday, the singer revealed that he was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and will be taking a break from the stage. "Just before the holidays, it was discovered that I had a brain tumor, which required immediate surgery. Thanks to my incredible medical team, the surgery was a success," the singer wrote on Facebook. "I am now recuperating at home and surrounded by the tremendous love and support of my family."

Slow Horses will return for a fifth season on Apple TV+. The streaming service announced that it renewed the spy drama starring Gary Oldman for Season 5.

Apple TV+ has yet to announce premiere dates for Season 4 and Season 5.

New video in the motorcycle/Ian Ziering fight shows the actor was the first one to throw a punch that triggered a brawl. The video is shot from behind. You see Ian's Mercedes stopped on Hollywood Blvd. - the car in front of him had stopped and blocked his path forward. Members of the 605 Minibike Gang roll up behind Ian's car, with 2 of them stopping right in front of the vehicle. It seems as if they were trying to block him from moving. At that point, there’s no physical contact between the bikers and Ian, or the motorcycle and the Mercedes. Ian gets out of the car and immediately shoves one of the bikers, which then sets off the brawl. The question: Why was Ian so pissed when he stepped out of his car? It would seem something happened between Ian and the gang before the video starts rolling. The LAPD is conducting a felony vandalism/misdemeanor assault investigation.

Pierce Brosnan is accused of walking in thermal areas at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Brosnan allegedly stepped off the trail upon which visitors are meant to stay in order to keep away from the park's famous hot springs and geysers. “Boardwalks and trails protect you and delicate thermal formations," the park says on its website, warning that the ground in certain areas "may be only a thin crust above boiling hot springs," with no way to tell if it's a safe place to stand. Plus, the park adds, some "pools are acidic enough to burn through boots." The two petty offenses Brosnan was cited for are listed as "Foot travel in all thermal areas and [within] Yellowstone Canyon confined to trails" and "Violating closures and use limits." The alleged incident occurred on November 1. Brosnan was in Wyoming in October filming the upcoming western “The Unholy Trinity.” The actor was ordered to appear in court in Wyoming on Jan. 23.

There was no bullying involved in the Donald Trump cameo in 1992’s Home Alone 2, says the former president, responding to claims by the film’s director, Chris Columbus, that he bullied his way into the movie. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” Trump said on social media. “That cameo helped make the movie a success. But if they felt bullied, or didn’t want me, why did they put me in, and keep me there for over 30 years?” Trump said they begged him to appear in the movie, but was very busy at the time and didn’t want to do it. But the filmmakers were persistent, so he agreed.

Amazon announced in September that ads were on the way for Prime Video‘s entertainment content. Now we have a date. On January 29, commercials will be introduced to series and movies airing on the service in the U.S., UK, Germany and Canada. That will be followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year. The move was announced in a letter sent to subscribers that described the addition of what was termed “limited advertisements” to allow the service “to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time.”

Among the caveats:
There will not be ads on content that is purchased or rented.

Customers in Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Mariana Islands will not see ads rolled out.

The Food Network star shared the "scary" footage on her Instagram story on Wednesday. Valerie Bertinelli caught alleged burglars on camera outside of her home. In a post on her Instagram story, the Food Network star said that her neighborhood has experienced a "string of robberies" -- including her next-door neighbor -- and shared video footage and photos of two men she alleges are burglars. Bertinelli, 62, captured the men on security cameras outside of her home. She alleged that they came to "scope out" her home Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning around 1 a.m., according to time stamps on the footage. In the video she shared, a man wearing a black hat and carrying several bags, including a large backpack, approaches the camera, pauses and looks around briefly. He then turns and walks back in the direction he came from. "I think he stops because he sees my camera lit up," said Bertinelli. "The other one came an hour before him." "F------ scary," she added. The actress also shared a photo from her cameras of the other man, who was also wearing a hat and carrying a large backpack. In the same post, the Valerie's Home Cooking host said that the police came "pretty quickly" following the incident and shared her plans to take extra precautions to protect her home from burglars. "I'm installing more motion detector lights and thinking of putting barbed wire on my front fence," Bertinelli wrote on her Instagram story. "And of course my alarm gets set every night." (People)

Ian Ziering was involved in an apparent road scuffle with multiple bikers in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve.

In a video obtained by TMZ, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star seemed to be surrounded by a group of people riding mini-bikes on Hollywood Blvd. Ziering, 59, then got out of his vehicle and appeared to get into a physical altercation with one of them.

Soon after the two started fighting, other bikers circled back and surrounded the actor as they all started attacking him. The Sharknado actor then appeared to run away from the group as he tried to cross to the other side of the roadway.

Per the TMZ clip, he was chased by the group and apparently grabbed by the shirt, pushed into another vehicle and struck more than once.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to CW affiliate KTLA that officers responded to the area at Hollywood Blvd and Highland Ave. around 3 p.m. on Sunday following "reports of a fight that broke out after the group of bikers were driving recklessly."

The incident remains under investigation, per the outlet.

The LAPD and reps for Ziering did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment on Monday. The actor has yet to post about the incident on his Instagram account at the time of publication.

TMZ reported that the actor was listed as a victim in an official report, and that as of 6 p.m. PT Sunday, police had not made any arrests.

In another video released by the outlet, Ziering appeared to be comforting his daughter, Mia, 12, who looked like she was upset by the incident involving her father and the group of riders. 

According to TMZ, "Ian and Mia seem physically fine." 

In March 2023, at 90s Con in Connecticut, Ziering opened up about his career during a 90210 panel moderated by PEOPLE's Andrea Lavinthal. As he shared at the time, the actor almost had a future in reality TV.

"Shortly after [Beverly Hills, 90210] went off the air, Missy Halperin, who we all know [in casting], said, 'Ian, would you ever consider hosting a reality show?' And I'm like, 'No. I'm an actor.' That reality show was American Idol," Ziering said.

"Not that it was an offer," he added. "But would I consider my name being thrown in a hat."

Still, he joked that he "would have been horrible" and instead has his eyes on The Price Is Right.

Netflix is reportedly kicking around ideas for a potential spinoff of “Wednesday.” Before production started for Wednesday‘s second season, Netflix began discussions for a spinoff based around Fred Armisen’s Uncle Fester, reports Bloomberg. While a potential new series is not set in stone — writers will have to outline the story, and contracts and scheduling with talent will need to be negotiated.

Jonathan Majors is out of the Marvel Studios kingdom. The actor was found guilty yesterday of reckless assault and harassment in his domestic violence trial by a six-person NYC jury. A studio rep confirmed the news about their decision to not move forward with Majors in the MCU. Majors played villain He Who Remains aka Kang the Conqueror in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s phases four through six. Majors debuted as the character during Loki season one in 2021, then continued on in season 2 of this year, as well as the February movie Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Majors also had back-to-back hit in Amazon MGM’s Creed III in March.
