Kim Mathers, the ex-wife of Eminem, pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges tied to a February crash in Michigan. Prosecutors say Mathers crashed a Range Rover into a parked pickup truck on Feb. 16, pushing the truck more than 50 feet. Authorities allege she was impaired at the time and failed to stop or report the crash afterward. Mathers entered a no contest plea to operating while impaired and failure to stop after a collision. She’s scheduled to be sentenced in June and could face up to 93 days in jail. Kim and Eminem were married twice — first from 1999 to 2001 and briefly again in 2006. They share daughter Hailie Jade Scott.

The Terminal List returns for Season 2 on Oct. 21 on Prime Video, with Chris Pratt back as former Navy SEAL James Reece. The military thriller, based on novels by Jack Carr, first debuted in 2022 and followed Reece as he investigated the murders of his family and teammates after a deadly ambush in Afghanistan. Season 2 is based on Carr’s novel “True Believer” and will feature returning cast members along with new additions including Gabriel Luna and Olga Kurylenko. The franchise already expanded with last year’s prequel series, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf.

Billy Bob Thornton is once again saying celebrities should stay out of politics. In a new chat with Howie Mandel, the actor said actors and musicians shouldn’t use award shows or their platforms to tell people how to vote, calling it pointless and out of touch. Thornton, who describes himself as a “radical moderate,” said he’d rather talk about being human than push political beliefs he doesn’t feel qualified to preach. He also repeated his stance that award shows should follow Ricky Gervais’ famous advice: accept your trophy and move on.

A contestant on The Price Is Right just made daytime TV history with a jackpot so big it probably caused several couch viewers to throw remote controls across the room. Vanesa McCaskell, a retired Army veteran from Virginia, won more than $240,000 during the show’s Mother’s Day special — the largest single pricing-game prize in the show’s 54-year history. Her massive payday came during a newer high-stakes game called “The Lion’s Share,” where contestants can gamble their winnings for even bigger rewards. McCaskell took the risk and walked away with $227,500 in cash plus a trip to Morocco worth another $12,650. The win officially broke the previous record of $210,000 set back in 2016 on the game “Cliff Hangers.” McCaskell said the whole experience felt surreal and called the winnings “life changing.” She says she plans to invest wisely, enjoy some of it, and surprise her mom with something special.

Jimmy Fallon just took a rare ratings hit: NBC has canceled his business reality series On Brand With Jimmy Fallon after one season. The show featured Fallon acting as head of a fictional marketing agency called On Brand, where contestants competed to come up with creative advertising campaigns for major companies. Fallon created, hosted and executive produced the series, which NBC hoped would blend reality competition with Madison Avenue-style branding. Joining Fallon on the show was Bozoma Saint John, the former executive from companies including Uber, Pepsi and Netflix. She served as the agency’s Chief Marketing Officer, mentoring contestants and critiquing their pitches. The series lasted eight episodes during fall 2025 and included appearances from brands like Dunkin’, Samsung, Sonic Drive-In and Southwest, along with a cameo from Jennifer Garner. According to reports, the show struggled with ratings from the start. Its rollout bounced between Tuesday and Friday time slots and also got pushed around once NBA coverage entered the schedule. That’s usually TV code for: “We believe in this show… just not enough to keep it in one place.”

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are catching legal heat over their new Netflix crime thriller The Rip — and this one’s coming from real cops in Miami. The movie, produced by the duo’s company Artists Equity, stars Damon and Affleck as Miami-Dade narcotics officers who uncover corruption after stumbling onto $20 million in cartel cash. The film says it’s “inspired by true events,” but now two actual Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office officers say the movie went way too far. Officers Jason Smith and Jonathan Santana have filed a defamation lawsuit, claiming the movie’s main cops — played by Damon and Affleck — are clearly based on them, even though their names aren’t used. According to the lawsuit, the film copies enough specific details from a real 2016 drug-money seizure involving more than $21 million that viewers can easily connect the dots. The officers say the movie paints them as dirty cops who cut corners, act unethically, and even commit violent crimes. One scene reportedly shows Affleck’s character killing a DEA agent. Their attorneys argue the film suggests corruption that never actually happened in real life. The lawsuit claims the fallout has already hit home. The officers say friends, coworkers, and even family members have questioned whether they secretly pocketed seized money to pay for fancy homes, boats, cars, and private schools after seeing the movie. They’re suing for defamation, emotional distress, damages, legal fees, and they want a public correction — including a disclaimer added to the movie making it crystal clear the fictional corruption never happened.

Benedict Cumberbatch was involved in a heated roadside argument Tuesday evening after another cyclist confronted him for allegedly running a red light while riding his cargo bike in London. Witnesses say the second cyclist chased him down, leading Cumberbatch to stop, get off his bike, and walk across the road to confront him. A video shows the masked cyclist repeatedly calling the actor “deluded” and “a liar,” accusing him of blowing through multiple lights and even a zebra crossing. Cumberbatch pushed back, saying the man was “verbally abusing” him and insisting he only made one mistake, not several. The exchange lasted about ten minutes, blocking the cycle lane and drawing a crowd — including schoolchildren who recognized him as Doctor Strange. After the confrontation ended, Cumberbatch posed for photos with two young fans. A witness described the scene as “pompous road rage” and said the other cyclist seemed shocked when he realized who he was arguing with, but “doubled down” anyway.

A feature film about the birth of MTV is officially moving forward. Neon has picked up the rights to adapt I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution by Craig Marks and Rob Tannenbaum. Director Geremy Jasper will lead the project, which—like the book—dives into MTV’s launch and chaotic early years, told through the people who believed music and television were destined to collide. Set in the early 1980s, the movie arrives at a moment when the media landscape is shifting again; MTV recently shuttered its final music?only channels. The film aims to capture the network’s transformation from a scrappy cable experiment into a cultural powerhouse that reshaped music, youth identity, and TV itself. MTV debuted on August 1, 1981, kicking things off with “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the Buggles—also the last video played when MTV Music signed off on December 31, 2025, ending decades of nonstop music broadcasting. Casting is still underway. Jasper, who worked at MTV in the ’90s and early 2000s (and even met his wife there), says he was immediately drawn to the book’s wild, funny, and rebellious look at ’80s ambition and excess. He added that Neon shares the same bold creative spirit that once made MTV a cultural juggernaut.

Khloe Kardashian revealed that the reason she has only been to Coachella once is because she was drugged at a party during her first and only outing at the music festival. There's a reason Khloe Kardashian doesn't go to Coachella. The Kardashians star revealed that she had a bad experience the one time she attended the famed desert music festival after getting drugged at an off-site party without her consent. "I've gone once," Khloe shared on the May 6 episode of her Khloe in Wonder Land podcast. "It was many moons ago. I feel like 2016 or something like that. It wasn't the best experience. I got drugged without me knowing, but I think everyone knew." As the 41-year-old recalled, she was at a party where a mysterious juice was flowing that she believes was laced with drugs. "I don't think anyone drugged me," Khloe explained. "I just think I was the dumb one and didn't realize that everyone was on drugs." "I remember drinking this drink and just feeling really crazy," she added. "No one wants to feel like that and not know why they're like that." The experience was so jarring for her that the reality star ended up locking herself in a bathroom for hours to try and deal with it. "I just didn't realize what was happening until after it happened," Khloe said, "that I was on drugs and everyone was yelling at me because I wouldn't get out of the bathroom." However, she had a very good reason for keeping herself locked in the bathroom, saying, "I got scared. I was in my head. I was so scared." Overall, Khloe's Coachella experience "was not good." And while the Good American founder might not be ready for another romp in the California desert, the rest of her family certainly has been, with sister Kourtney Kardashian hosting Camp Poosh at Coachella 2026 while Kendall Jenner had her own 818 Tequila outpost. This year's festival was also extra exciting as Kendall and Kylie Jenner were on hand to watch pal Justin Bieber perform. Ahead of the festival, Kylie shared a look at her bedazzled floral nails, writing on her Instagram Story at the time, "It's giving Bieberchella." The 28-year-old further proved her love for close friend Hailey Bieber's husband with an oversized tank top featuring Justin's face for day one of the festival. (Eonline)

The NCAA is officially expanding both the men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to 76 teams, beginning next season. The announcement came yesterday after the final round of committee approvals, marking the third expansion since 2000. The expansion has been driven largely by power conferences pushing for more at?large bids, but not everyone is celebrating. Analysts note the larger field risks watering down the early rounds. The Athletic pointed out that, under a 76?team format this year, even teams barely above .500—like Auburn—would have made the cut. Still, the move appears locked in, and March Madness is about to get even bigger.

Mark Hamill sparked controversy this week after posting — and then deleting — an AI?generated image that appeared to show President Trump lying atop a grave. The Wednesday post featured a headstone reading “Donald J. Trump, 1964–2024” with the caption “If Only”, along with a message criticizing Trump and calling for him to be held accountable for what Hamill described as “crimes.” The Trump administration’s Rapid Response account on X reposted the image and called Hamill “one sick individual,” arguing that rhetoric like this contributes to threats against the president. Hours later, Hamill deleted the original post and replaced it with a new one. In the updated version, he used a different image — Trump alive, hair blowing in the wind — and clarified that he was not wishing death on the president. Hamill wrote that he meant Trump should “live long enough to… be held accountable,” and apologized if the earlier image was inappropriate.

The Harry Potter television reboot just scored a Season 2 renewal months before its debut episode even airs. Multiple outlets — including Deadline, Variety, and The Hollywood Reporter — confirmed that HBO is confident enough in the series to greenlight another season early, with production set to resume this fall. Season 1, premiering December 25 on HBO and Max, adapts Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Season 2 will move directly into Chamber of Secrets.

The new cast includes:
Dominic McLaughlin as Harry

John Lithgow as Dumbledore

Donald Trump paid tribute to media mogul Ted Turner, who died yesterday at 87, while simultaneously criticizing the network Turner founded, CNN. In a Truth Social post, Trump called Turner “one of the Greats of All Time” and a personal friend, but said Turner was “devastated” after selling CNN because new ownership “destroyed” the network and made it “woke.” He also referenced the proposed Paramount acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent company, saying he hopes “new buyers” can restore the network’s credibility.

Shakira just made history in Rio. Her free Copacabana Beach concert drew an estimated 2 million people, according to official city data — one of the largest crowds the iconic shoreline has ever seen. The event generated an estimated $160 million in economic impact, boosting hotels, restaurants, transportation, and retail across the city. The show was part of Rio’s “Todo Mundo no Rio” initiative, a government?led program designed to bring major tourism and revenue to the city during May, typically a slow month. Rio deployed a full?scale operation for security, logistics, and public services, with the city’s Operations and Resilience Center running at full capacity. The night opened with a 1,500?drone display, forming a giant she?wolf in the sky — a nod to Shakira’s signature symbol. Minutes later, she hit the stage wearing Brazil’s colors, speaking in Portuguese, and telling the crowd: “Brazil, I love you. It is magical to see millions of souls together.”

Sabrina Carpenter delivered one of the standout moments of the 2026 Met Gala with a surprise duet alongside Stevie Nicks. After guests gathered inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the Costume Art gala, Sabrina performed in front of the Temple of Dendur, singing House Tour, Espresso, and Please, Please, Please with a full orchestra, band, and dancers. She wore two performance looks: a multicolored Versace Tribute dress featuring Andy Warhol prints, and a shimmering Bob Mackie gold fringe dress. Following a brief interlude by Broadway’s Joshua Henry, Stevie Nicks took the stage for a three?song set — Landslide, Gypsy, and Edge of Seventeen. Sabrina joined her on “Landslide.”

David Letterman is not buying CBS’s explanation for canceling The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In a new interview with The New York Times, the former late?night host said he believes the network’s claim that the decision was purely financial is false — calling CBS executives “lying weasels.” Letterman suggested the show was cut to smooth CBS’s sale to Skydance, saying the network wanted to signal that Colbert wouldn’t be an issue during the deal. He emphasized he has no access to CBS’s financial books but still finds the official reasoning hard to believe. He also expressed “disbelief” that the show he originally launched was being shut down, noting that while TV revenue has been hit by digital platforms, the network should still consider “the humanity” of Colbert and the millions who relied on that nightly 11:30 escape. CBS has maintained the cancellation was a business decision, and Colbert himself addressed that explanation on air. The Late Show ends May 21, with Byron Allen’s Comics Unleashed

Taraji P. Henson publicly called out celebrities for attending the 2026 Met Gala, which was sponsored by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos. She cosigned a viral social post warning stars not to wear ICE Out pins while attending an event funded by someone the post linked to controversial labor and political issues. Henson added her own frustration, writing that she’s “confused” by those choosing to go. She also reposted a graphic contrasting Bezos’ $500 million yacht with reports of difficult working conditions for Amazon warehouse employees, captioning it with a pointed “Enjoy the MET.” Bezos reportedly donated $10 million to sponsor the gala. Henson — normally a regular attendee — skipped this year, as did Zendaya, Bella Hadid, and Ariana Grande, though their reasons weren’t confirmed. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani also declined to attend, citing affordability concerns. Meanwhile, an activist group called Everyone Hates Elon staged a protest by placing nearly 300 bottles of fake urine inside the Met, referencing allegations that Amazon drivers are forced to relieve themselves in containers.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have settled their long?running legal battle, ending the case just two weeks before trial. Terms weren’t disclosed, but both sides issued a joint statement saying they remain committed to supporting survivors of domestic violence. Lively had accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and running a smear campaign, while Baldoni denied all allegations. Most of Lively’s claims were dismissed in April, leaving only retaliation?related counts heading to trial before the settlement. The feud had sparked major fallout — Baldoni lost his agency and an award, public opinion swung back and forth, and even celebrities like Taylor Swift were pulled into the drama through court documents. The settlement closes a high?profile dispute that had hovered over It Ends With Us since late 2024.

Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden just surprised everyone by announcing the arrival of their third child, a baby boy named Nautas Madden. Benji shared the news on Instagram with a drawing of a pirate ship labeled “Nautas Madden,” writing that he and Cameron are “happy, excited, and feeling so blessed” to welcome their new son. The couple, who are famously private about their family, didn’t share photos of the baby — consistent with how they’ve handled their other children, Raddix, 6, and Cardinal, 2. Benji added that their kids are “healthy and happy,” and that they’re loving life as a family of five.

Britney Spears is likely to avoid jail time in her recent DUI case, according to Ventura County officials. Prosecutors have officially filed a misdemeanor DUI charge, but because Spears has no prior DUIs, there was no crash or injury, and her blood alcohol level was low, she’ll likely be offered what’s known as a “wet reckless.” A wet reckless is a standard deal for first?time offenders. It allows someone to plead guilty to reckless driving involving alcohol, receive 12 months of probation, complete a DUI class, and pay state?mandated fines — all while avoiding a full DUI conviction. Officials say this type of resolution is common, especially when the person shows they’re taking steps to address underlying issues. Spears recently checked herself into a treatment facility, something her rep confirmed earlier this month. A source said her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, were a major reason she agreed to seek help. Spears is scheduled to be arraigned on May 4, but because this is a misdemeanor, she doesn’t have to appear in person — her attorney can go for her. The arrest happened on March 4, after her black BMW was reported for speeding and driving erratically. Officers said she showed signs of impairment, failed field sobriety tests, and was arrested before being released the next morning.

Finn Wolfhard is gearing up for a big summer. The Stranger Things star and indie rock musician has announced his second solo album, Fire From The Hip, arriving July 10. It follows his 2025 debut Happy Birthday, which he toured across the U.S., U.K., and Europe. The new record — led by the single “I’ll Let You Finish” — pushes his indie rock sound into a more dynamic, expansive direction. Wolfhard recorded the album in February, exploring themes of cultural memory, humor, and reflection, while drawing inspiration from classic rock staples like The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street and Beggars Banquet. He says this project leans deeper into nostalgia and collaboration, crediting close friends for helping shape the music. Wolfhard, who previously fronted Calpurnia and later The Aubreys, has long cited The Beatles as the spark that ignited both his music and acting ambitions. That influence came full circle at the end of 2025 when he directed the first ever official music video for George Harrison’s “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth).” The stop motion project involved 20 Canadian artists and stands as one of Wolfhard’s proudest career moments.

Meryl Streep says she nearly walked away from The Devil Wears Prada back in 2006 — all over salary. During a Today reunion with Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, Streep revealed she initially turned down the role of Miranda Priestly until the studio agreed to double her pay. Streep said she knew the movie would be a hit and, at the time, was “ready to retire,” so she pushed for what she felt she was worth. The studio said yes immediately, and she ultimately earned a reported $4 million, plus a Golden Globe win and an Oscar nomination.

Amazon MGM Studios is reportedly exploring the idea of rebooting The Apprentice, the reality show that originally helped launch Donald Trump into television fame. According to reporting sourced by The Wall Street Journal, the conversations began around the time Trump started his second term, and the idea has remained in the very early internal?discussion phase. Executives have discussed Donald Trump Jr. as the possible host of the reboot, though no outreach has been made to the Trump family, and Amazon confirmed that no host has been chosen. The show is not currently in development, and any speculation remains internal.
