Apple TV+ is bringing light to one of the greatest civil rights movements that has largely been left in the shadows with its new documentary, Deaf President Now!. A new trailer previews the firestorm that erupted in 1988 when the board of trustees at Gallaudet University, the world's only college for the deaf, elected a controversial hearing president to oversee operations. Furious over the highly qualified deaf candidates who were passed over for the job, students rose up en masse to protest the decision in a watershed moment for the Deaf community that would have ramifications far beyond the campus grounds. Packed with exclusive interviews with those involved and archival footage, the film premieres on May 16.

Jenna’s variety of daily and weekly co-hosts began after the show’s original host, Hoda Kotb, left NBC’s Today and Today With Hoda & Jenna in January.

Today, Paramount released the trailer for Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which Tom Cruise himself teased yesterday with an image that suggested an America’s Next Top Model photo shoot. I’m not complaining.

The film, budgeted at $400 million, is the eighth and ostensibly last Ethan Hunt adventure, which the trailer goes to great lengths to emphasize. It’s in everything from the glimpses of the spry, ever-running Cruise from earlier films in the series to the chatter about it all having “come to this,” our lives being “the sum of our choices,” and that we need to trust him…“one last time.”

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning opens May 23.

The official panel of the 21st season of Project Runway has officially been revealed. In addition to Heidi Klum as the host and judge, the panel will comprise Og judge Nina Garcia and Law Roach. Additionally, Christian Siriano will serve as the Season 21 mentor. The announcement comes on the heels of the announcement of Heidi Klum's return after four seasons away.

The new Project Runway facelift also sees the series moving to Freeform. The series is set to refocus the competition "for a new generation." The official casting of Klum, Garcia, Roach, and Siriano gives the series new life and energy while maintaining the nostalgia that built the hit series. The announcement all but confirms that Tim Gunn will not participate in the new iteration of the series, though the press release stated that "additional special guest judges will be announced at a later time."

Back in 2008 -- when torture movies were still riding high -- VH1 had a brilliant idea. Well, they had a "brilliant" idea. Tapping into the successes of both the "Saw" movies and reality shows like "America's Next Top Model," the network produced "Scream Queens," a competition show that gathered together 10 hopeful actresses and had them undergo a series of auditions and acting challenges, arranged in an elimination tourney structure, with each getting help from professional acting coach John Homa. The grand prize would be a small role in "Saw VI."

It might come as a surprise to you that this series was directed by James Gunn, who also served as one of the show's main judges. He was joined on the judge's panel by Shawnee Smith, who played the role of Amanda Young in "Saw," "Saw II," "Saw III," "Saw VI," and "Saw X." This was at a time when...

If you’ve been keeping up with celebrity news lately, you’ve probably heard about Winnie Harlow’s dreamy engagement to NBA star Kyle Kuzma.

Her journey from Antm contestant to walking runways for Fendi and Marc Jacobs, appearing in campaigns for Mac and Swarovski, and gracing the covers of major magazines has been nothing short of remarkable.

But while her professional life has been an open book, her romantic journey has been equally fascinating. From a Formula 1 champion to a chart-topping rapper,...

When American reality television expanded beyond singing talent shows, one of the series at the forefront was America's Next Top Model. Taking the format of a competition series with the niche of professional modeling, Antm was groundbreaking. Easily one of the most important reality television shows of the 2000s, viewers were given an inside look at the cutthroat world of print and runway modeling through the lens of a high-stakes competition. With Tyra Banks at the helm, the series doubled down on image, at first. But over the years, Antm became that show that broke the rules. It expanded beyond the common tropes of beauty standards, it showcased the reality of the diverse world of modeling, and eventually demanded the contestants feature inclusion based on gender and body type.

Tyra Banksis finally addressing all the backlash being sent her way for past episodes of America’s Next Top Model. While accepting the Luminary Spotlight honor at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, Tyra acknowledged that the show, which ran for 24 cycles from 2003 to 2018, had its fair share of problematic moments. However, the American model defended the show’s legacy and talked about how hard she fought to bring diversity to reality TVwhen no one else supported it. Despite that, Banks admitted, "Did we get it right? Hell no! I said some dumb s--t"...

Reality star Kristin Cavallari is heading back to E! Entertainment. The cabler has picked up the docuseries “Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour” (which is still a working title), which will document her podcast “Let’s Be Honest” as she takes it on the road. The series will launches Thursday, June 5 on E!, with episodes also available to stream on Peacock.

Cavallari first launched “Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari” as a podcast with Dear Media in 2023. In December she announced the relationship and lifestyle podcast would have a four-city tour in 2025, with stops in Atlanta, Chicago, Boston and New York. “Kristin Cavallari’s Headline Tour” kicks off March 7.

At E!, Cavallari had previously starred in the reality show “Very Cavallari,” which ended in 2020 after three seasons. Cavallari got her television start in the mid-2000s on MTV’s reality show “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.” She then starred...

Tyra Banks isn’t here for people coming for her America’s Next Top Model legacy.

The reality TV show burst onto the scene in 2003, with Tyra using her modeling skills to find fresh faces for the runway.

America’s Next Top Model ran for 22 seasons on The CW before moving to VH1 for the final two seasons.

Tyra not only created Antm, but she hosted the show for 21 seasons, with Rita Ora stepping in to help refresh the series on VH1.

In recent years, clips of Tyra being overly harsh and insensitive have surfaced as former contestants call out her treatment of them.

One example was Tyra telling a contestant, in a mean and mocking way, how she would never get a “covergirl” contract because of the gap in her teeth.

Tyra Banks didn’t always “get it right” on “America’s Next Top Model,” she told attendees at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood Awards, adding: “I said some dumb s–t.”

Banks was the event’s first Luminary Spotlight honoree on Feb. 27.

“Over 20 years ago I created a show called ‘America’s Next Top Model’,” she began her speech. “And you guys have no idea how hard we fought to bring the diversity to that television show at a time when it didn’t exist; to show different beauties at a time when the world was like, ‘What? You casting that?’ A time when people in the fashion industry were telling me, ‘You putting the girls from the hood on your show?”

“I was like, ‘Why can the girl from the trailer park become a supermodel but the girl that’s chilin’ in the park in the hood can’t?’” she added.

In recent years, America’s Next Top Model has not necessarily aged with the grace of a cover star — something host Tyra Banks addressed in a recent speech at Essence‘s 18th annual Black Women in Hollywood Awards, held at Los Angeles’ Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel Feb. 27.

Another former employee of Kanye West is suing him.

In the latest lawsuit, the 47-year-old rapper is accused of targeting Jewish staffers and sending hateful and antisemitic remarks, similar to his recent Twitter/X tirade, according to Variety.

For 12 years and the same number of seasons, Simon Helberg played Howard Wolowitz — the turtleneck-wearing, would-be lothario who's best friends with Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki), and Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar) — so you'd think it would be tough for him to really hone in on his favorite episodes. You'd be a little bit right about that, actually.

In an interview with Newsweek in April of 2022 to promote his film "As They Made Us" — directed by Mayim Bialik, who played Sheldon's girlfriend and eventual wife Amy Farrah Fowler and worked alongside Helberg on "The Big Bang Theory" — Helberg said he couldn't really choose a "favorite" episode of the long-running Chuck Lorre sitcom. "I don't have a quick answer for that," Helberg replied when asked about his all-time favorite episode. "I guess the answer is, I don't have a favorite one.

The America’s Next Top Model winner Adrienne Curry was following suit with many Hollywood stars when she chose to get breast implants. Little did the Antm winner know it would be her worst nightmare. Adrienne opened up about her gruesome journey with plastic surgery.

Why Did The Antm Winner Get Surgery?

Adrienne Curry explained why she chose to have the breast implant surgery done. Adrienne shared that she and her brother share a birth defect. The birth defect had affected how her breasts looked. However, this turned into an insecurity of hers. The season 1 Antm winner said,

“I was young, and my boobs were absolutely perfect. I had a full, full B, small C, and I felt like they were fine, but I always knew I had a genetic defect that was way more noticeable when I had no boobs because my brother has it too-the right side of my chest is concave.

The globe-trotting, centuries-spanning story told in Eyes of Wakanda could only be achieved through animation. Todd Harris, the showrunner of the four-episode Disney+ limited series, recently explained why the Black Panther prequel series would not have worked as a live-action project.

"The story has been stewing for a long time in my head. I’m a big believer in what Wakanda represents to mankind as a place that’s untethered by expansion," Harris shared. "It has drawn a line — a line it won’t cross and it won’t let anybody else cross."

The longevity and expanse of The Real Housewives franchise has introduced audiences to dozens of cast members from around the world. Most cast members of any Real Housewives show have a spouse that similarly becomes part of The Real Housewives world.

The marriages of the cast members on all The Real Housewives shows are often front-and-center when it comes to drama and intrigue. Some couples have ended their marriages while on the show, notably Rhonj's Teresa Giudice, Rhobh's Erika Jayne, Rhop's Ashley Darby, and Rhom's Alexia Nepola and Lisa Hochstein.

Rhoa's Phaedra Parks, Porsha Williams, and Kenya Moore's marriages ended while on the show, as did Rhony's Luann de Lesseps and Romana Singer. Additionally, Rhobh's Kyle Richards has separated from her husband, Mauricio Umansky.

Many of these housewives remain on their respective shows, but a surprising number of former cast members have exited the spotlight and subsequently divorced their spouses.

Season 10 of Southern Charm introduced viewers to three new cast members, including a America's Next Top Model alum and a Bachelor contestant turned spine surgery robot operator. Any time a new castmate is welcomed to the Og Charleston crew, drama seems to follow.

The addition of these new cast members makes fans wonder about other people who have come and gone on the show. One Southern Charm alum that fans have been thinking a lot of is Landon Clements. Landon came on to the series in Season 2, where she is most remembered for telling Shep Rose she loved him, and rubbing Kathryn Dennis the wrong way. However, after Season 4, Landon no longer appeared on the show.

Why did Landon leave the Bravo reality TV show?

Molly O'Connell is one of the newest cast members to join Season 10 of Southern Charm. In the first episode, viewers learn that she's close friends with Madison LeCroy, who introduced her as, "She's funny, and she's weird in a good way." She had a sexting relationship with Craig Conover, and has a crush on the much-older Whitney Sudler-Smith.

The Charleston native is also a model, and she was the runner-up in Cycle 16 of America's Next Top Model. Her season saw her having an incredibly drastic hair makeover that she, thankfully, pokes fun of to this day. However, Molly truly believes that she could have won the entire competition if not for Tyra Banks giving her yet another over-the-top hair change.

One of the most iconic reality TV competitions of the early 2000s was none other than America's Next Top Model. The modeling competition was created by Tyra Banks as a way to train promising young women who were interested in becoming supermodels.

The show originally began in 2003 and aired for a whopping 24 seasons until finally coming to a close in late 2015. However, Tyra recently shared that fans of the since-defunct show might have a renewal to look forward to in the future.

Season 10 of Southern Charm is well underway and the season has already introduced viewers to three new castmates that will certainly join in on the drama in Charleston. There's America's Next Top Model alum Molly O'Connell, who admitted to sexting Craig Conover, former Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise star Salley Carson, who has a very close connection to Taylor Ann Green's ex Shep Rose and her new beau, and Ryan Albert, a very close confidant to Miss Patricia Altschul.

While the OGs are back for another season, fans may have been disappointed when cast member Olivia Flowers revealed she was fired before filming began for Season 10. It certainly shocked fans as she was a major part of Season 9, in which we watched her ex, Austen Kroll, in a messy love triangle. Still today, Olivia admits that she still can't believe she was let go from the reality TV show.

Vice recently released The Shocking Truth About America's Next Top Model as part of their Dark Side of Reality TV series. In the documentary, previous contestants of Tyra Banks' controversial modeling contest opened up about their horrible experiences on the show.

There have also been related statements from a former judge reportedly fired by Tyra, regarding her behavior on the show.
