The Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office also confirmed the news to Rolling Stone, adding that “his cause of death was determined as Hypertensive and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease with a significant condition of Diabetes Mellitus. The manner of death was natural.”

Rose, whose nickname was “Charlie Hustle,” spent 23 years in the MLB, playing a total of 3,562 games,...

When we imagine a Hollywood casting process, we often visualize days and weeks of auditions. But surprisingly, it wasn’t the case for WWE legend John Cena, when he joined the Fast & Furious franchise as Jakob Toretto in the 2019 installment. Apparently, for Cena, it was just a meeting with Vin Diesel that led to his unexpected casting announcement on livestream.

Chris Pratt is one of the most renowned actors in the entertainment industry today, having become even a part of a mammoth franchise like the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Jurassic Park franchise. But when it comes to how it all started for him, the roots go way deeper than this, with details that reveal things were anything but easy for him in the beginning.

In fact, had it not been for one chance meeting with the iconic actress cum director Rae Dawn Chong from Hollywood, the actor just may not even have been here. Thanks to a series of fortunate turn of events for Pratt, she immaculately ended up helping him immensely in changing the course of his life; going from homeless to becoming the dominant box office force he is today.

It's an uncertain time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Marvel Studios looking to get back to quality over quantity, we're expecting sweeping changes to be made to the Multiverse Saga slate, with D23 or Comic-Con the most likely destinations for an update.

However, we're not the only ones wondering what's next. Talking to The Playlist, Benedict Cumberbatch was asked what he knows of Doctor Strange 3.

"Who knows," he responded when they wondered whether it would be released before the next Avengers movies. As for the former Sorcerer Supreme's role in those, Cumberbatch added, "We will see. We will find out. I’m not sure where he’s been and what he’s been up to and who with, but yeah, I know as little as you."

Later, the site quizzed the actor on the major changes made to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after it was pushed...

Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy is celebrating its 25th birthday, with the first part being released in 1999. Since then, the film has become part of a series, with the release of The Mummy Returns and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Three movies were not enough for some fans, however, as many have been begging for more additions to the story, even though the last part was released more than ten years ago.

Brendan Fraser as Rick O’Connell

It would seem that their prayers have been heard, as the director of the first two films and the producer of the third, Stephen Sommers, revealed his thoughts on coming back for another movie.

Superman has always been the most hopeful and powerful hero, whether it is about DC, or Marvel. With the many adaptations of the Kryptonian hero, some get regarded as masterpieces while others die before they can even reach the surface. Adaptations find key elements that please the audiences and the DC Animated Universe is by far excelling the most in that.

All-Star Superman

All-Star Superman is a film that came and went by with powerful performances and a gripping story. Adapted from the comic book series of the same name, it had various voice actors who gave their very best. In most cases, these performances are backed by other works that manage to impress voice directors.

Andrea Romano, the voice director of the film, sought out Christina Hendricks for the role of Lois Lane because of another fan-favorite series.

Every actor wants to be a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Joining the Marvel family opens up many new opportunities and introduces eager performers to a whole new fan base. However, while many actors audition for roles in MCU films, very few are chosen. Even fewer are chosen for those coveted leading roles.

Adam Brody is one actor who tried out to become part of the MCU, but unlike most, who opt to keep mum and keep it moving, Brody has openly discussed the role he wanted. In a recent podcast interview, Brody talked about when he auditioned for a prime role in Guardians of the Galaxy, revealing his feelings about the actor who did manage to score the role.

Now that James Gunn is busy with the DC Universe, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will likely serve as his final Marvel movie. However, that doesn’t mean that we won’t see these beloved characters again; In fact, the last thing we saw in the movie’s post-credit scene was a tag reading “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.”

During the director’s commentary for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (via The Direct), James Gunn teased a Star-Lord movie that would deal with the hero adapting to his new life back on Earth. “We always want to give somebody a little something special,” Gunn said. “And Chris and I, forever, have talked about how great it would be to be able to do a ‘Legendary Star-Lord’ movie, a story with Star-Lord on Earth trying to adapt to the environment of Earth in the same way that somebody else...

According to Pierce County Corrections, the 53-year-old former basketball player was booked just before 6 p.m. Shortly before 2 p.m that day, the Tacoma Police Department reported “an altercation between the occupants of 2 cars” that “led to shots being fired at a parking lot.” In the report, police stated that a gun was found and a 53-year-old male was booked for a drive-by shooting.

Charlie Thomas, the singer best known for his musical work with The Drifters, has died. He was 85.

The celebrated vocalist died on Jan. 31, at his home in Bowie, Maryland, after a battle with liver cancer, Deadline reports.

Sad news out of the TV world as it has been revealed that Stephen "tWitch" Boss, the So You Think You Can Dance All-Star and Ellen DeGeneres Show DJ, has died.

He was 40 years old.

Law enforcement officials later responded to a call about a shooting at a Los Angeles hotel, where Boss was reportedly found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Can you feel that? Yeah, that’s the hierarchy of the DC Extended Universe being upended. At least, according to “Black Adam” star Dwayne Johnson.

This long-in-the-works adaptation of the comic book antihero, who began life as a “Shazam!” spin-off, is finally here, and it’s ushering in (potentially) a new phase of movies based on DC properties. (DC admittedly hasn’t had the easiest go of things.)

In the new movie, Johnson’s character, referred to as Teth-Adam for most of the runtime, is a godlike creature resurrected after 5,000 years of imprisonment in the fictional North African nation of Khandaq. It’s there that he kills many, many people, runs afoul of the Justice Society (led by Aldis Hodge as Hawkman), and gains some of his humanity back after befriending a young widow (Sarah Shahi) and her John Connor-esque son (Bodhi Sabongui).

Together, Teth-Adam, the Justice Society and his...

When Fox Weather’s Nick Kosir first started dancing on social media in 2019, he never dreamed he’d hoof his way onto one of his favorite shows, “So You Think You Can Dance.”

Ahead of his guest segment on Wednesday’s episode, in which he goes toe to toe with Season 16 champ Bailey Muñoz and All-Star Comfort, Kosir chatted with TheWrap about how he got started as a dancer, how he’s used his social media platform to raise money for worthy causes, and his favorite “So You Think Can Dance” winner.

TheWrap: You started dancing because you had to do 12 social posts a day for your job, is that right?

Kosir: Yeah, that was when I was working for the Fox affiliate in Charlotte [North Carolina] in 2019. Our bosses told us that we had to post 12 times on social media per day, and as you can imagine, after about a week,...

Benjamin Bratt has been cast in the Natasha Lyonne-led Peacock series “Poker Face,” which hails from creator Rian Johnson.

Variety has learned exclusively that Bratt is the latest addition to the rapidly expanding cast. Another recently announced cast members include Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stephanie Hsu, and David Castañeda. Plot and character details for the series are being kept largely under wraps, though sources say the show will follow a procedural format and see Lyonne’s character working to solve different murders in each episode.

Bratt most recently appeared opposite Rosario Dawson in the HBO Max limited series “Dmz,” which debuted in March on the streamer. He also previously starred in the Fox music drama “Star” from Lee Daniels. His other TV roles include “Law & Order,” “24: Live Another Day,” “Private Practice,” “The Cleaner,” and multiple appearances on “Modern Family.” In film, Bratt is known for starring in features like “Piñero,...

That was a high-octane thrill ride from start to finish.

The impressive promotional campaign for The Equalizer touted the series as much, and The Equalizer Season 1 Episode 1 lived up to expectations.

Queen Latifah was one of the sole reasons to watch Star, but there is a lot to love about The Equalizer, and it largely comes down to the solid casting.

Robin McCall is fierce; she takes no crap and will put her life on the line in the name of helping the people who have nowhere else to run.

This month, CBS is launching a procedural of unusually high quality, featuring both a game and talented cast and a tie to intellectual property that is about as recognizable, among pop-culture fans, as anything that exists. It seems both like a potentially major hit and like the sort of show that deserves a healthy head start to get it there.

That’s not, though, the show that CBS will be launching after the Super Bowl. “Clarice,” starring Rebecca Breeds as the FBI agent made famous in “The Silence of the Lambs,” will debut Feb. 11. In the lead-out spot — the place on the TV calendar with the largest potential opening act, and the one that has helped establish hits including “The X-Files,” “Friends,” and “Grey’s Anatomy” — is the pilot for “The Equalizer.” An adaptation of the 1980s CBS crime show, this series features Queen Latifah, returning to TV after Fox’s...

“Summer of Soul,” Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s acclaimed documentary about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, has been acquired by the Disney-owned Searchlight Pictures in a deal that also will bring the film to Hulu.

The documentary, which won both the Grand Jury prize and Audience award at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, served as the directorial debut for Thompson, who has been the drummer of hip-hop band The Roots for over three decades. “Summer of Soul” will have a theatrical release, will stream in the United States on Hulu, and will stream internationally on Star and Star+. Premiere dates have not been announced.

“I’m so honored to be allowed to manifest my dreams after all this time,” Thompson said in a statement. “This is truly an honor. ‘Summer Of Soul’ is a passion project and to have it resonate with so many people on so many levels has been incredibly rewarding.

Two days after picking up Sundance’s Documentary Grand Jury Prize, Summer of Soul has been picked up by Searchlight and Hulu.

The acquisition of Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s directorial debut is for worldwide rights, parent company Disney says, in a deal put together by Disney General Entertainment’s Bipoc Creator initiative, led by Tara Duncan and brokered by Cinetic Media.

With appearances by Sly and the Family Stone, Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson, the Staples Sisters, Stevie Wonder, Glady Knight and the Pips, Max Roach, Abby Lincoln and many more, the music-themed documentary is set for a theatrical release as well as streaming on Hulu in America and internationally on Star and Star+.

An individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap it’s the biggest documentary sale in history, although no specifics were given. Another individual close to the transaction pegged the sale at $15 million. Buzz has been building around the film since its premiere last Thursday, sparking a bidding war for the documentary from The Roots bandleader Questlove. It was also the winner of the Sundance Documentary Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award.

Searchlight Pictures and Disney General Entertainment’s Bipoc Creator initiative, led by Tara Duncan, acquired the worldwide rights to “Summer of Soul,” while Hulu will exclusively stream the doc domestically and Star and Star+ will stream it internationally.

U.K. free-to-air terrestrial broadcaster Channel 4 has won the rights to the upcoming England vs. India Test cricket series in a deal with Disney’s Star Sports.

This will be the first time live Test cricket has been on free-to-air television in the U.K. since Channel 4 showed England winning against Australia in 2005. Since then, test cricket, and indeed all international cricket broadcast in the U.K. has been the preserve of Comcast’s pay TV operator Sky. There was an exception in 2019 when England reached the finals of the World Cup, played in England, and Sky shared broadcast rights with Channel 4.

Earlier, the BBC covered all England home games for 60 years until 1999 when they lost the rights to Channel 4.

The series consists of four Test matches, to be played in Chennai and Ahmedabad from Feb. 5. All four matches will be shown live, ball-by-ball, on Channel 4 and streamer All4,...

It is written by Davies and his brother Wale Davies. Wale Davies produced the short with Rachel Dargavel for Potboiler Productions, with backing from BBC Film.

The “9-1-1: Lone Star” gang was not alone last night, when regular ol’ “9-1-1” firefighters came to aid the Texas team in a Fox crossover. In the primetime event, Buck (Oliver Stark), Eddie (Ryan Guzman) and Hen (Aisha Hinds) helped out Capt. Owen Strands (Rob Lowe), his son T.K. (Ronen Rubinstein) and the other members of the 126 through an epic natural disaster — and some personal disasters as well. As a result, Fox drew the most total viewers again on broadcast TV last night, but ABC’s steady “The Bachelor” paved the way for another first-place finish in the key demo’s ratings. “Lone Star,” a spinoff of Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk and Tim Minear’s “9-1-1” series, grew week to week in overall eyeballs. It declined in ratings among adults 18-49. “9-1-1” slipped outright from last Monday. Also Read: '9-1-1' Star Aisha...

In the latest TV show ratings, Fox’s 9-1-1 this Monday drew 6.5 million total viewers and a 0.9 demo rating, (inexplicably?) down 10 and 25 percent week-to-week, against lighter competition, to mark season lows — yet still leading the night in total audience.

Lone Star‘s crossover with 9-1-1 followed with 6 mil and a 0.8, down 20 percent in the demo to mark its own season low (read Buck/T.K. post mortem).

Henrietta “Hen” Wilson (Aisha Hinds) has gone through some pretty dark experiences on “9-1-1.” But one of the paramedic’s most horrifying moments came when she and a couple other members of the 118 headed over to “9-1-1: Lone Star” for Monday’s epic crossover event of the Ryan Murphy-produced Fox dramas.

During the hour, Hen gets way more than she bargained for by joining Buck (Oliver Stark) and Eddie (Ryan Guzman) on their mission to help other companies fight a massive wildfire in Texas. That disaster leads to yet another disaster when Hen and Captain Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) of Austin’s 126 get stuck in a mineshaft after their rescue chopper crashes over the wildfire.

Austin’s Station 126 finally met some of the members of Los Angeles’ 118 on Monday’s “9-1-1: Lone Star,” which featured the long-awaited crossover with parent series “9-1-1.” The lucky few — or unlucky, depending on how you look at some of the things that happen during the hour — who get to make the 20-hour trip to help put out a massive wildfire in Texas are Buck (Oliver Stark), Eddie (Ryan Guzman) and Hen (Aisha Hinds), who almost immediately are split up into three different storylines connecting them with “Lone Star’s” leads.

For 9-1-1 showrunner Tim Minear, the process of putting together tonight’s first-ever crossover with 9-1-1: Lone Star mirrored what the characters experience in the harrowing hour: “There were twists and turns and hurdles I had to clear,” he tells TVLine. “For a while there, it looked like we were just going to collapse.

All eyes are on Disney’s Hulu streaming service as the potential big buyer at this year’s Sundance Film Festival — after a record-breaking purchase of the Andy Samberg-Cristin Milioti comedy “Palms Springs” last year and the new potential to pick up worldwide rights by partnering with the parent company’s overseas streaming service Star. “People still need content, production has been stop-start, so everyone is going to be looking for finished products,” one agent who will be selling films at Sundance told TheWrap. “It sounds like Hulu is gonna be aggressive. Sitting at home, waiting for things to do in the evenings, there is an opportunity for them to pick up some titles.

Here is a wrap up of all the news you need to know from Thursday, January 28.

ABC's Big Sky is expanding its cast.

Deadline is reporting that the freshman hit is adding a powerful new family as Big Sky Season 1 progresses.

Michelle Forbes, Britt Robertson, Michael Raymond-James, Ryan Dorsey, and Omar Metwally have all been added in recurring guest roles.

The outlet states that Forbes, Robertson, Raymond James, and Dorsey will all be playing family members, while Metwally is on board as a U.S. Marshall.

Since its debut in November, the series has been a decent performer for ABC and recently snagged a six-episode backorder.

The ratings have been solid, and it was steady after a six-week hiatus, which does bode well for its future.

Now that the initial mystery is wrapping up, all eyes will be on the next storyline to see whether it can keep up the pace.

Exclusive: In a competitive situation, Star alumna Jude Demorest has signed with Buchwald for representation.

Demorest is widely recognized for playing the title role of Star Davis in Lee Daniels’ praised series Star, alongside Queen Latifah, Benjamin Bratt, Naomi Campbell and Lenny Kravitz, for three seasons on Fox. Actress/singer/songwriter Demorest, from Detroit, Mi, landed the title role in the pilot, which was subsequently picked up to series, after a nationwide search.

Most recently, Demorest starred in the Hulu/Blumhouse anthology series Into The Dark episode “Crawlers”, the Saint Patrick’s Day-themed body-switching alien thriller helmed by Brandon Zuck.

In addition to her acting, Demorest is a talented songwriter, penning multiple hits including Fifth Harmony’s Work From Home and Down, each going platinum.

Demorest, previously with CAA, continues to be managed by Gilbertson Entertainment and attorney Kenny Meiselas.

It's time to revisit one of the most beloved movie franchises.

Disney+ gave fans a first look at its new original series, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers on Thursday, with a thrilling teaser trailer that gave us a taste of what to expect on the TV iteration, premiering Friday, March 26.

Nearly 30 years after first taking flight, The Mighty Ducks returns in a brand new chapter starring Lauren Graham and Emilio Estevez in the iconic role he originated as legendary Coach Gordon Bombay.

In the 10-episode season set in present-day Minnesota, the Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team.

After 12-year-old Evan Morrow (Brady Noon) is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom, Alex (Lauren Graham), set out to build their own team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of youth sports today.

With the help of Gordon Bombay, they...

Bridesmaids co-writers Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo have reunited as quirky pals embarking on the vacation of a lifetime in Lionsgate’s Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar.

“What are you doing?” Star asks.

“Oh, I was just playing with this lamp,” Barb, just “plain ...

We've endured a hell of a year where nothing is surprising, and anything can happen.

And that's why the 126 fighting a volcanic eruption on 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 2 Episode 2 was insane and yet fathomable.

Sadly, not all of the team made it out alive.

Tim Rosewater is our fallen hero of the hour, and it's not the least bit surprising. Naturally, if we had to lose a character, it would be someone whom we've seen but didn't exactly know.

All we knew about Tim was that he's occasionally snarky, disliked that Michelle left, and had not warmed up to Tommy yet.

In many ways, Tim was an example of the pitfalls of 9-1-1 Lone Star Season 1. We saw him sometimes, but he and Nancy mostly disappeared into the background since anything that did focus on the paramedics revolved around Michelle.

Admittedly, I didn't even remember his or Nancy's names until recently.

We finally know what brings 9-1-1‘s Buck & Co. down to Texas for Fox’s much-hyped crossover with 9-1-1: Lone Star. And it’s pretty much Smokey the Bear’s worst nightmare.

This week’s Lone Star found the 126 dealing with volcanic activity throughout the city, and while Tommy and Owen’s teams were mostly successful, they couldn’t save everyone. Nor could they have known, as we discovered in the episode’s chilling final moments, that the lava would spark a massive forest fire — one that will require out-of-state reinforcements.
