Credit: Getty The star that will be temporarily replacing Simon Cowell as a judge on America’s Got Talent has been revealed. If you didn’t see the news, it was revealed earlier this week that the 66-year-old TV personality is taking a few weeks off from the NBC talent competition series as he recovers from a “routine procedure related to his back.” Amid Simon‘s hiatus from the show, it has now been announced that Kenan Thompson will be stepping in to temporarily replace Simon on the judge’s panel. “A comedy legend is taking over the Judges’ table!

“In my illness, I made accusations and did things that make me shudder,” she added. “I have spent my life believing in love, hope, kindness, and compassion. What I became was the opposite: cruel, vicious, mean.” But as she moves forward with rebuilding her personal relationships, her family is at the top of her list. “Scott and my kids… There won’t be a day that I don’t thank God for you,” Kelley continued. “Causing you pain and being the reason you suffered will haunt me for the rest of my life. It was my job to protect you, honor you, and keep…
Anup Singh, director of “Qissa” and “The Song of Scorpions,” is directing a new short film, “Lasya: The Gentle Dance,” shot on Mumbai’s streets, produced by Mumbai-based Pretty Pictures. “The Gentle Dance” follows a father and son, beggars on Mumbai’s roadside, over the course of a day in their lives. Monsoon rains repeatedly destroy their shelter, and the city offers them little beyond hostility and indifference. It is the father’s stories about the boy’s late mother – her boldness and her refusal to let go of playfulness even as she navigated the city and the natural world – that allow…
Landman fans better get comfortable waiting for new episodes. Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ hit has become one of the biggest shows on the streamer, with Billy Bob Thornton leading the way as Tommy Norris, a West Texas landman trying to keep an increasingly chaotic oil business — and his even more chaotic family — from falling apart. That combination has made Landman an especially easy show to get hooked on. There’s plenty of the darker, high-stakes drama that comes with a Sheridan production, but the series also has a surprisingly goofy sense of humor. One minute Tommy is dealing with a…

Not even two weeks after officially joining Season 2 of HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter adaptation as clueless celebrity author Gilderoy Lockhart, Nicholas Hoult and his team realized the scheduling wasn’t going to work out — as if somebody had just got around to checking the actor’s Google calendar. Despite what official reporting claimed, the online consensus appeared to believe that the departure had nothing to do with scheduling (unless Hoult had his 2027 blocked off for “Not being yelled at”) and everything to do with the uproar that his original casting caused. The world is still four months out from…
Dolly Parton had a heart of gold — just ask Billy Ray Cyrus. As Cyrus, 65, continues to grieve the death of his longtime friend, the “Achy Breaky Heart” singer reflected on his special memories of Parton via Instagram on Friday, August 28. “Rest in Peace Miss Dolly. This is the last performance she and I did together in Dollywood for her Christmas special. We sang ‘Christmas Where We Are’!” he wrote alongside a photo featuring himself and Parton.

Movie-ticketing giant Fandango is distributing its first film, House of Worship, which opened last weekend at about 400 theaters.

With a career that spanned 60 years, Parton’s passion extended beyond country music, leaving a lasting impression on fans through her contributions to TV and film. When she became Porter Wagoner’s full-time duet partner in “The Porter Wagoner Show,” Parton turned the opportunity into…
