At this year’s NAACP Awards, Usher proved that 2024 is his year. The entertainer, who played the Super Bowl halftime show just last month, took home top honors at the ceremony. He even walked into the ceremony at the Shrine Auditorium on a high note, having picked up awards for Outstanding Male Artist and Outstanding Soul/R&b song in pre-telecast presentations.
His success continued throughout the ceremony, where Oprah Winfrey presented him with the Entertainer of the Year Award. He beat out Halle Bailey, Fantasia Barrino, Coleman Domingo, and Keke Palmer for the prize.
“I guess all great things start from Oprah Winfrey. When I was a kid, I made my start on your show,” Usher said, per BET. “I want to thank each and every person who believed in me.”

Exclusive: Mark Wahlberg is the latest Hollywood notable to be added to the guest list of ESPN’s Manningcast, the alternate Monday Night Football telecast hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning.
The actor and producer will appear tonight, with former NFL quarterback Michael Vick and Iowa basketball standout Caitlin Clark also on the docket. The game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs is a rematch of last February’s Super Bowl.
Although Wahlberg’s loyalty to the New England Patriots remains intact, one of his acting credits makes him a logical person to weigh in on tonight’s contest. In the 2006 film Invincible, Wahlberg portrayed Vincent Papale, a real-life figure from Eagles lore. Papale became a local sports legend after managing the unlikely feat of winning a chance to play for the Eagles after impressing coaches at an open tryout in 1976.
This is the third season of Omaha Productions’ Manningcast.

Denver Broncos fan Don Cheadle has to give up his seat on tonight’s Manningcast, but Peyton and Eli have found a couple of high-profile replacements.
Patrick Mahomes, fresh from a bye week with his Kansas City Chiefs, will appear on the show alongside former World Cup alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn. They will also be joined by Good Morning Football host Kyle Brandt.
Mahomes has appeared on Manningcast before and was one of the stars of Netflix’s Quarterback, which was produced by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, which produces both shows.
Vonn, meanwhile, was at the New England Patriots game against the Indianapolis Colts in Germany over the weekend that saw the latter beat the former in a low-scoring game.

Tom Hank’s niece Carly Reeves broke down into a tearful tantrum after becoming the first contestant eliminated Monday on ABC’s reality series “Claim to Fame.”
During Season 2’s inaugural guess-off segment, where participants have the opportunity to choose a contestant and guess their “claim to fame,” Reeve’s fellow contestant Hugo correctly identified her Oscar-winning uncle thanks to a clue wall that included the iconic “Forrest Gump” park bench. Shocked and confused, Reeves angrily expressed her disappointment in leaving on Episode one — and in Hugo, who she said she helped with clues.

In a development that may not be all that surprising, Don Lemon doesn’t seem to have many fans over at Fox News.
On Monday morning’s installment of “Fox & Friends First,” cohost Carley Shimkus and guest Beverly Hallberg broke down the former “CNN This Morning” anchor’s first interview since his firing, slamming the journalist for positioning himself as what Hallberg deemed “the arbiter of the truth.”
“I think it’s pretty laughable to most people,” she said.
The “Fox & Friends First” discussion kicked off Monday with Shimkus introducing the fact that in his first interview since being fired from CNN in April, Lemon maintained that he has and will continue to always “tell the truth” and “abide by the promises of the Constitution.”

Merkel, Netflix
The former German chancellor’s life and career is brought to life with skill and speed in this documentary from Eva Weber. Angela Merkel spent three decades in politics - a large proportion of that at the top, no mean feat given that she was born behind the Berlin Wall in East Germany and worked as a physicist before her switch of career. Weber captures via archive interview and observations from the likes of Condoleeza Rice and Tony Blair, how Merkel’s studious nature was put to good advantage as she shaped herself for power. What also comes across strongly is her surprisingly pixieish sense of humour. Pacy and enjoyable.

First nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars with the 2012 film “The Gatekeepers,” director Dror Moreh could return to the awards race 10 years later with “The Corridors of Power.” The new film from Showtime combines in-depth interviews with rare archival footage and CGI animations to examine how American leaders have responded to reports of genocide, war crimes and mass atrocities after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Among those interviewed are five figures who served as Secretary of State: James Baker, Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. In his review for The Washington Post, Michael O’Sullivan describes the effectiveness of the interviews: “The discussions that take place on camera, in tastefully appointed suites, are frank and often offer fascinating insights into these dilemmas.

An exceptional and, one might venture, unprecedented group of politicians, diplomats, policy wonks, elected officials and veteran Washington insiders expound on the effectiveness of international military intervention—and the lack thereof—in The Corridors of Power. Israeli director Dror Moreh made one of the great political documentaries of recent times in The Gatekeepers (2012), as well as the excellent The Human Factor (2019), and this time he has assembled an all-star cast of more than 30 political heavyweights including Henry Kissinger, Hilary Clinton, George Shultz, Madeleine Albright and Condoleeza Rice, who in deep, original interviews, help to build a picture of how and why the best intentions can come unglued. The film deserves to be seen in any and all venues by audiences interested in the state of the world and clarity about how we got here.

The top vote-getters in the open primary go on to face each other in the general election in November.
Their candidacies — which divided Hollywood loyalties during the open primary — each promised solutions for a city grappling with deep anxiety over homelessness, housing affordability and crime.

As previously announced, “The View” is celebrating 25 years of intractable morning arguments between friends by inviting back former co-hosts to sit at the table, and three heavy hitters have just been announced for February, TheWrap has confirmed.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Meredith Vieira will be returning to the show years after leaving. They’ll be joined by Star Jones, who has already shown up to guest this season starting last September. They will each co-host next month, with Jones’ appearance set for Feb. 4.
Jones and Vieira were two of the show’s original hosts, sticking with the show from its launch in 1997 until both exited after the 9th season in 2006. Hasselbeck joined the show in Season 7 in 2003, and stuck around until 2013. She’s one of two successful attempts at having a long-running conservative co-host for the show, the other being Megan McCain, who quit last year.

Whoopi Goldberg will remain with “The View” for at least four more years, TheWrap has learned.
The daytime series’ longtime host has signed a new four-year contract that will take her through its 28th season and the summer of 2025, according to an individual with knowledge of the deal. Financial details of the new contract are not known.
ABC declined to comment.
Goldberg just began her 15th season earlier this month. Her new contract comes as the ABC show has had numerous shuffles in front of the camera over the past few years. Meghan McCain was the most recent co-host to depart the show, which she did in August after four seasons. Sara Haines is in her second season after returning to “The View” last September to replace Abby Huntsman.
“The View” is currently filling McCain’s slot with a rotating cast of guest conservative co-hosts, which began with former Utah Congresswoman Mia Love.

Whoopi Goldberg has struck a multi-year deal to stay on The View.
The star has signed a deal that will see her continue on the daytime talkshow for four years, Deadline has confirmed.
The move means that she will stay through to at least season 28 of the show, which is currently in its 25th season.
She hosts the ABC show with Joy Behar, Sara Haines and Sunny Hostin.
Goldberg’s deal comes as The View is “taking a little time to fill the seat” left behind by Megan McCain and will instead welcome a line-up of conservative guest co-hosts in the coming months including Condoleezza Rice, Mia Love, Gretchen Carlson, and Alyssa Farah, among others.

Two decades after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America, documentary filmmakers are still trying to make sense of the horrific events — even as aftereffects continue to ripple through the geopolitical landscape.
The U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan has renewed political debate over the invasion launched in the wake of the 2001 attacks as conspiracy theories about 9/11 permeate discourse about the events. In a measure of how fraught the subject remains, Spike Lee cut 30 minutes of 9/11 truther material from the fourth and final episode of his HBO documentary, “NYC Epicenters 9/11-2021½,” after initially releasing it to the media for review and stoking further controversy by discussing his doubts in a New York Times interview about how the twin towers were destroyed.
Filmmakers and TV programmers acknowledge that these projects require delicate treatment — especially concerning graphic scenes of the attacks and their aftermath — but stress that 9/11 is an important topic to tackle.

As ABC’s The View continues its first (and significantly quieter) week post-Meghan McCain, the show’s former conservative co-host has announced her latest gig: As a columnist for British tabloid DailyMail.com.
“Everything in my life these days is about going back to basics,” McCain tweeted today. “I started as a columnist & am thrilled at the chance to return to it @DailyMail.” In what could be a swipe at her former place of employment, McCain added, “I am so excited to work in a completely uncensored free space.”
McCain will be based in Washington, D.C., where she lives with husband Ben Domenech, publisher of the conservative news site The Federalist, and their daughter Liberty. When she left The View, reportedly with two years still on her contract, she cited her residence as a primary reason for the departure (the ABC daytime talk show resumed in-studio broadcasts this...

When Blinken’s name surfaced as a nominee, his longtime passion for music made the headlines: It turns out he could play guitar reasonably well, wrote record reviews during his college days, and had penned his own songs (even making indie recordings of some of them, available on streaming services).

Rudy Giuliani is already the favorite to win something this election season – a Razzie for ‘Borat 2’
Rudy Giuliani is going to be a big winner this year. Forget about the looming 2020 US presidential election, as there’s a more fascinating contest on the horizon, at the 41st Golden Raspberry Awards, or Razzies, which honor the worst the film industry has to offer each year. This is not Russian disinformation and it is not “fake news.”
The former New York City mayor, once known heroically as “America’s Mayor” in the wake of 9/11, has been a consistent fixture on TV over the last few years in both his capacity as a vocal GOP surrogate and personal attorney for President Donald Trump. Earlier this year Giuliani hit peak notoriety as a central figure in the Ukraine scandal that led to the President’s impeachment by Congress.
