Kanye West's planned July 4 concert in San Antonio is facing growing backlash. Just a day after tickets went on sale, Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones publicly called for the show to be canceled, saying the city shouldn't host someone with a history of antisemitic remarks and hate speech at the publicly owned Alamodome—especially on Independence Day. The San Antonio controversy is the latest in a string of opposition to West's performances. Recent shows in Prague, Poland, France, and the U.K. have been canceled or blocked, and Australia previously denied him a visa. While West apologized earlier this year for his 2025 antisemitic behavior, several upcoming U.S. concerts, including shows in Tampa, are also facing calls for cancellation from public officials. Despite the criticism, tickets for the San Antonio show remain on sale.

Famke Janssen isn't thrilled that she won't be returning as Jean Grey in Avengers: Doomsday. During an appearance at Spacecon 2026, the actress said Marvel "made a mistake" by not inviting her back, joking that she's terrible at keeping secrets, so fans would have known if she'd been cast. Janssen first played Jean Grey in 2000's X-Men and returned for X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, plus brief appearances in The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past. While several of her former co-stars—including James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart and Alan Cumming—are returning for Doomsday, Janssen didn't make the cast list. The actress said fans constantly ask if Jean Grey will ever return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and admitted she's flattered the character is still so popular after all these years.

When Soboroff replied that millions would be watching now that Hanks was on the air, the actor deadpanned, "All right... add a zero to it," before stopping to answer questions about the event. The exchange quickly spread across social media, with many viewers surprised to see Hanks—who has long been associated with Democratic causes—taking a lighthearted swipe at the liberal cable network.

Simmons and Tom Brittney, the series follows New York City's notorious Irish-American gang in the early 1980s as they battle internal power struggles, clash with the Gambino crime family, and attract FBI attention.

To recreate gritty 1980s New York, producers built a 240-foot street set in Toronto, complete with period details. Brancato also joked that while the era featured President Trump, the show leaves him out because "he gets enough press."

I'm the happiest I've ever been," adding that their relationship gives them a unique level of support because they understand the pressures of fame.

"Shrek 5" is scheduled to hit theaters on June 30, 2027.

Hank Azaria admits he was a little annoyed to see Taylor Swift sitting courtside at a recent NBA Finals game. Speaking on a sports podcast, the longtime Simpsons star joked that fans had already seen plenty of Swift during NFL broadcasts and said he was tired of the "Taylor sports" phenomenon. Azaria stressed that he understood why someone as famous as Swift would get prime seats, but said he found the constant celebrity spotlight a bit much. Swift attended Game 4 alongside members of HAIM and actress Mariska Hargitay, wearing Knicks-themed gear as New York mounted a historic comeback on its way to winning its first NBA title in 53 years. Azaria said most celebrities aren't sitting courtside and revealed he was seated high in the arena with other stars, including Questlove, Rainn Wilson, and Jeremy Strong. He joked that only the A-list gets the seats everyone sees on TV.

Shalit's family announced that he passed away peacefully after what they called "100 years of an amazing life." His death comes just three months after celebrating his 100th birthday, a milestone that was recognized on Today by Al Roker. Shalit graduated from the University of Illinois before beginning his career as Dick Clark's press agent and later working as a magazine writer. He joined Today in the 1960s, launching his popular "Critic's Corner" segment in 1968. What started as monthly book reviews evolved into a decades-long run as one of television's most recognizable entertainment critics. Over a 40-year career on the morning show, Shalit worked alongside broadcasting icons including Barbara Walters, Katie Couric, and Matt Lauer.

The show is expected to follow the movie's basic premise: an ordinary guy who adopts elaborate disguises and fake identities while posing as a hitman to catch people trying to hire a killer. The original film was a surprise hit for Netflix after earning strong reviews and awards attention, including Golden Globe and Writers Guild nominations. Falk, best known for creating the TV show You're the Worst, will lead the adaptation. Netflix hasn't revealed casting details or a release date, and it's unclear whether Powell will appear on-screen in the series.

Actor Ryan Reynolds revealed that when he was 18, he was seriously injured after being hit by an alleged drunk driver while walking home in Vancouver. Reynolds said he had chosen not to drive after drinking and was crossing the street when the vehicle hit him. He spent four weeks in the hospital, suffered multiple broken bones on the left side of his body, and later revealed he was in a coma for three days following the crash. Speaking to GQ, Reynolds said the impact was so severe that the driver's car was left inoperable. Although he eventually recovered, he joked that he's been a "rickety, broken mess" ever since, with lingering physical effects from the injuries. The story resurfaced during a lighthearted interview with his Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney, but Reynolds' account highlighted how a decision to avoid driving after drinking led to a life-altering accident caused by someone else.

Kaley Cuoco is expanding her family once again. The Big Bang Theory star announced that she and actor Tom Pelphrey are expecting their second child together. The couple shared the news on Instagram with a series of family photos and videos, including a gender-reveal cake that showed they're having another daughter. Cuoco and Pelphrey are already parents to 3-year-old daughter Matilda, and Cuoco said the new baby will be "completing our little family." She admitted that this pregnancy has been a little more challenging than the first, but said the couple is incredibly grateful and excited to welcome "little sissy" to the family. The post included photos of Cuoco's growing baby bump, Pelphrey admiring an ultrasound, and a sonogram image that Cuoco jokingly said appeared to show their unborn daughter giving the family the middle finger. The couple, who began dating in 2022, welcomed daughter Matilda in March 2023. Cuoco has previously revealed that she and Pelphrey picked the name Matilda during one of their very first dates, long before they even had children.

More than a decade after 22 Jump Street hit theaters, a third movie is officially in the works. Despite the confusing math, the new film will reportedly be called 24 Jump Street. Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube are all in talks to return, with Rodney Rothman directing from a script he co-wrote with Hill and Meghan Malloy. The first two movies, based on the classic TV series, followed undercover cops Schmidt and Jenko as they infiltrated a high school drug ring and later went undercover on a college campus. The films were huge hits, earning more than $500 million worldwide and becoming one of Hollywood's most successful comedy franchises. What's funny is that Tatum wasn't exactly enthusiastic about a third movie back in 2014. At the time, he said the college setting felt like the obvious next step and wasn't sure where the story could go after that without becoming repetitive. He even joked that maybe the characters would have to take down the government next. Tatum also revealed that the long-rumored 21 Jump Street and Men in Black crossover remains one of the best scripts he's ever read, although that project never made it to the screen.

Tracy Morgan is facing backlash after comments he made about teachers during a Variety and CNN "Actors on Actors" interview with fellow comedian Marcello Hernández. During the conversation, Hernández joked about getting in trouble for talking too much in school. Morgan responded by suggesting teachers didn't understand Hernández's sense of humor and then remarked that teachers are still "making minimum wage." He went on to say he "can't stand teachers" because they have a "ceiling" and a limit to what they can become, contrasting that with the message he gives his own children that "the sky's the limit." While Hernández appeared surprised and laughed through the exchange, the comments quickly sparked criticism online after a clip was shared on social media. Many users defended teachers, arguing that educators play a vital role in helping students develop their talents and succeed.
