Emmy Russell’s American Idol Journey

Emmy Russell made headlines last year for her American Idol audition. She revealed to the judges that she’s the granddaughter of country music icon Loretta Lynn. But the young singer was determined to make her own way and not rely on her family name. During her time on the ABC singing competition, she performed several original songs, as well as taking on her grandmother’s famous song “Coal Miner’s Daughter.”

Despite massive support from fans, Emmy Russell only made it to the Top 5 on American Idol. After she was eliminated, she opened up about how grateful she was for the opportunity. Then she went back to her ‘normal’ life as a young mother,...

In a new interview, Maren shared the biggest difference in dating women versus men.

“My experience has been really positive,” Maren shared. “But I also have a confusion sometimes because I can connect with a woman, any woman, within like two minutes, and we’ll be talking about our childhoods… Like, we will get into it so quickly. With a guy that would take like years to get into that trauma.

Within minutes of stepping onto the Warner Bros. lot of The Jennifer Hudson show, this THR reporter stumbles upon an impromptu rehearsal in a hallway that’s instantly recognizable from social media. “Do you want to watch the spirit tunnel?” asks a staffer. That would be a resounding yes for witnessing in person the now-not-so-secret weapon behind the success and longevity of the show: Instead of walk-on music, guests are greeted with a sing-on of a surprise tune performed by the staff, who create a Soul Train-style runway, or “spirit tunnel,” for guests to walk through.

The guests for the pretaped episode are Bowen Yang, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran and Han Gi-Chan, and the daytime talk show’s staff has remixed the lyrics of Jagged Edge’s “Let’s Get Married” to incorporate the title of their new rom-com, The Wedding Banquet.

Saban Films has acquired the North American rights to the “off-the-wall” horror film Traumatika for a theatrical release later this year.

Mikey’s night terrors become reality when his mother begins showing signs of demonic possession. What he’s about to experience will haunt him for the rest of his life and claim countless lives across generations.

Pierre Tsigaridis (Two Witches) directs from a script he co-wrote with producer Maxime Rancon (Two Witches).

“Traumatika is not a movie you see – it’s a movie you experience. And there’s no better way to experience it than on the big screen,” said Saban co-presidents Jonathan Saba and Shanan Becker. “It’s hard to prepare yourself for the highly disturbing film that Pierre and Maxime have created.

Maren Morris has dropped a new single, “Bed No Breakfast,” off her forthcoming LP, Dreamsicle. The tongue-in-check song sees Morris kicking someone out of bed after an intimate act.

“’Bed No Breakfast’ is my cheeky little song about wanting personal space after… personal closeness,” Morris explained in a statement. “It’s about a right to your own comforts on your own terms even while having some good-natured fun with somebody. Drunk girls don’t cry… they kick you out.”

Maren Morris is still taking in her Coachella performance after gracing the stage of the music festival two nights in a row this past weekend.

“I feel like I just got my voice back today — thank God, because I had all these interviews — yesterday was like my recovery, don’t talk day,” Morris tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I’ve never had that much time at Coachella. The last time I’d done it was 2019, and I just came out and did ‘The Middle’ with Zedd, but this time I was doing the LA Philharmonic on Saturday, and then Zedd’s set Sunday night, and it was just so fun.”

Morris, who dubbed her Saturday night set “Churchella,” performed “My Church,” the lead single from her 2016 debut studio album Hero, in a floor-length gold gown with a live gospel choir and the Los Angeles Philharmonic under the direction of Venezuelan conductor...

With the first weekend of Coachella 2025 now in the history books, clear winners have emerged among the dozens of acts who performed, including history-making headliners and small-font breakthroughs.

Best Overall Set: Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga’s headlining set on Friday night was an immediate all-timer: the Mother Monster had created an opera house in the middle of the desert teeming with her own inner demons and mind-blowing choreography that utilized not just the main stage but seemingly every inch of the catwalk and B-stage as well. It was a performance for the ages, and erases her fine-but-not-phenomenal previous performance from 2017 altogether.

There was a new episode of The Young and the Restless on Wednesday, April 9. We know there was. It said so in the viewer guide, and when we checked, there was also an episode yesterday, Tuesday, April 8. So why, then, did it feel like we’ve been trapped in a Genoa City version of Groundhog Day for months now?

The Beginning

Groundhog Day is a 1993 movie where Bill Murray plays an obnoxious weatherman who is forced to relive the same day over and over again until he becomes a better person and deserves Andi McDowell falling in love with him.

We don’t know how long he stays in that loop. Some say a few weeks, some say a few months, and then there’s the theory that says it’s thousands of years. We know what that feels like because that’s where we are with Y&R.

Expect a high-octane show from Zedd at Coachella this year. Rolling Stone can confirm Wednesday that the DJ will bring out country queen Maren Morris during his Outdoor Theatre performance on Sunday.

While it’s unclear what exactly Morris will perform or if she’ll plays new music, fans might expect her to join Zedd for “The Middle,” which pushed the country star into the mainstream.

Disney Branded Television has rounded out The Wilkersons for the upcoming limited, four-episode revival of Malcolm In the Middle on Disney+, which will reveal the sex and name of the quirky family’s sixth child.

Original cast members Christopher Masterson and Justin Berfield are set to reprise their roles as Malcolm’s older brothers Francis and Reese, respectively, joining Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek who are back as Malcolm and the Wilkerson parents Hal and Lois, respectively.

Caleb Ellsworth-Clark is taking over the role of genius Malcolm’s (Muniz) younger brother, Dewey. The recasting is not surprising. Erik Per Sullivan, who played the role on the original series, was not expected to return as he quit acting in 2010 and has not participated in any of the Malcolm In the Middle reunions.

Anthony Timpano has been cast as Malcolm’s youngest brother, Jamie, who was seen as a baby...

He may have once played the devil himself in the 1997 film The Devil’s Advocate, but today, Al Pacino is attempting to banish the powers of evil with Dan Stevens by his side. XYZ Films has dropped the first teaser trailer for the upcoming horror film The Ritual, which drops its two leading men into an exorcism flick based on a true story. Although it was initially set to go toe-to-toe with the Easter crowd, the power of Christ compelled the folks behind the David Midell-helmed production to move the feature’s release to the summer on June 6.

Fully embracing all the terror that comes with a movie about an exorcism, the teaser trailer for The Ritual introduces audiences to Pacino’s Theophilus Riesinger and Stevens’ Joseph Steiger. Both men are priests who have been summoned to help Emma Schmidt (Abigail Cowen) — a young woman who is suspected to be suffering from demonic possession.

When we mention wholesome and feel-good series, which shows come to mind first? I can think of a few right away. I think of shows like Gilmore Girls, When Calls the Heart, Sweet Magnolias, Virgin River, Heartland, Grace & Frankie, The Middle etc. Well, one of these shows just mentioned has received some exciting news. When Calls the Heart, everyone's favorite Hallmark romance drama, has been announced to return for more!

No, we're not joking around! On March 23, Hallmark Channel renewed the long-running drama series for a thirteenth season. This renewal was announced on Sunday when the When Calls the Heart season 12 finale was airing. But let's be honest. Is anyone really surprised by this show's renewal? We definitely aren't! The drama series has been a fan favorite for years with its heartwarming storytelling and loveable characters. It has become a beloved staple of Hallmark's programming and has continued to thrive.

Undeniably one of the small screen's most criminally-underrated gems, the wholesome and zany 2009 sitcom The Middlefeatured a stellar cast of both new and familiar faces, with TV greats Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn headlining the series as the perpetually exhausted Frankie and Mike Heck as they attempt to raise their three rambunctious kids in a small Indiana town. The wildly entertaining comedy ran for nine seasons from 2009 to 2018 and spawned 215 episodes, keeping audiences laughing week-after-week as the kooky clan found themselves in chaotic situations and engaging in uproarious shenanigans.

Those looking for an endearing family sitcom and some good-natured humor need not look further than The Middle, which is every bit as fun and enjoyable as the more well-known fellow shows like Young Sheldon, Modern Family, and Malcolm in the Middle.

If you grew up in the early 2000s, chances are you spent many evenings with Ray Barone (Ray Romano) and his eccentric family in the hit comedy series "Everybody Loves Raymond." For good reason. This critically acclaimed sitcom about Ray, a Newsday sportswriter, dealing with his put-upon wife Debra (Patricia Heaton), bickering parents (Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts), and neurotic brother Robert (Brad Garrett), perfectly captures the working-class family and all its quirks, resulting in a heartfelt, often hilarious look at everyday life.

After being upped to contract status in February 2022, actor Tajh Bellow (Tj Ashford) is now off contract at “General Hospital.”

According to an update to the show’s end credits on Friday, February 21, Bellow’s name was removed from the contract cast list after previously appearing between cast members Kristina Wagner (Felicia Scorpio) and Tanisha Harper (Jordan Ashford).

The change in status for Bellow doesn’t come as a surprise considering the actor seemingly gave an indication early last week when he took to his Instagram, saying, “I know a lot of my fans are wondering what’s next for Tj, but before I speak to that I wanted to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished together.”

Bellow’s post highlighted his appreciation for all the support he received during last year’s tumultuous storyline which saw Tj and Molly (Kristen Vaganos) lose their daughter following a traumatic accident involving their surrogate,...

Ty Burrell’s Phil Dunphy had been one of the most beloved characters in Modern Family. The credit of it goes as much to the writer for etching out such a dynamic character, as it does to Burrell for his spectacular performance.

As such, it’s no wonder that not only the character still impacts the fandom, but that they want to see him in more diverse genres. Incidentally, while talking about Ty Burrell’s Phil Dunphy, fans were reminded of another actor who played a popular sitcom dad.

Now, although he made fans laugh for several years, later turned into one of the most bada*s characters to have ever graced the small screen. If anything, it’s nothing short of criminal that Burrell hasn’t landed something like that for himself yet.

Even though it may seem like pretty much every show is getting reboots, revivals or sequels, not all actors agree that revisiting a hit series is a good idea. While promoting her new movie The Unbreakable Boy, TV star Patricia Heaton commented on possible reboots of her two hit comedy series, Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle. Fans of both series shouldn't get their hopes up, though, because the actor thinks both shows are "perfection" and don't need any new episodes.

Family sitcom The Middle was a massive hit for ABC throughout its nine-season run. Despite the show experiencing a resurgence in popularity, Patricia Heaton, who played matriarch Frances Heck, recently shot down the possibility of a reboot.

"The way they wrapped it up, where we got to flash-forward in the lives of the Heck family and see where they all ended up, it was so beautiful, and I think people have such a good feeling about the show," she told Yahoo! Entertainment. "The Middle is having such a resurgence on TikTok, of all places, that kids are rediscovering or discovering it for the first time. It's a beautiful thing."

Patricia Heaton starred in two long-running sitcoms, The Middle and Everybody Loves Raymond, but don’t expect her to reprise any of those roles soon.

The actress recently revealed that she wouldn’t want either comedy show to get rebooted.

“It was just sort of perfection — and you don’t wanna mess with perfection,” Heaton told Yahoo! Entertainment. “You know, we’ve lost so many cast members, you couldn’t reboot it because it won’t be the same show.”

Heaton played Debra Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond for nine seasons, which ran on CBS from 1996 through 2005. In that role, Heaton was nominated seven times for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at the Primetime Emmy Awards, taking the trophy in 2000 and 2001.

General Hospital fans have been wondering what has happened to Tj Ashford (Tajh Bellow). Tj has not been seen or heard from in some time.

Seven years later, Eden Sher is contemplating where Sue Sue Heck ended up.

The Middle alum recently looked back on the unaired spinoff pilot she filmed for Sue Sue in the City, which centered on the middle Heck child, following the ABC parent show’s nine-season run from 2009 to 2018.

“We did shoot a pilot. It was actually a little bit tragic when it didn’t get picked up, because I didn’t even want to do the spinoff in the first place,” she told ScreenRant. “I didn’t want to do it at all. I was like, ‘No, I’m done with this character.’ And then, after months and months of developing it and creating this thing I felt good about, I was like, ‘Oh, actually I could play this for another show. I feel involved enough, and I feel good enough, and I feel like this is opening a new chapter.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, “General Hospital” star Tajh Bellow (Tj Ashford) looked back on an emotional year in which his character has been through a trying period of his life, particularly the loss of a child, as his daughter with Molly (Kristen Vaganos) sadly passed away following a traumatic accident involving their surrogate, Molly’s sister, Kristina (Kate Mansi), that later caused an initial rift in Tj and Molly’s relationship.

“What a year we had,” opened Bellow in his post, which included a collage of images highlighting key moments from last year. “Playing Dr. Tj Ashford has been a groundbreaking experience for my career. Pouring into Tj as he poured into me has been illuminating in many regards.”

Everybody Loves Raymond is forever. You could turn it on today, watch Ray complain, and it still hits. Timeless. The show dropped on September 13, 1996, and instantly became a classic. For nine years, it had us laughing and crying. With its penetrating humor and relatable chaos, it snagged 15 Emmys before ending in 2005.

The Barone family? Messy, dysfunctional, and always up in each other’s business. That’s why we loved them. Ray dodging his parents, Debra fighting for space, Robert being, well, Robert. It gave us classic moments we’re still quoting.

Reviews are out for Shifting Gears, and Tim Allen’s return to TV is massively underperforming with critics. Allen previously led one of the best 90s sitcoms (Home Improvement) and returned in 2011 for a respectable 9-season run of Last Man Standing. The story of Tim Allen’s Shifting Gears seemed like a familiar continuation of his past hits, with leading man Matt partly modeled after Allen himself.

While Tim Allen is undoubtedly the show’s main selling point, it has other heavy hitters like Kat Dennings (2 Broke Girls) who plays his estranged daughter, Riley. Dennings' character and her two children move in with Allen’s Matt, but the father-daughter duo are constantly at odds. Though Shifting Gears is set up like a classic sitcom, reviews have criticized aspects of the plot, writing, and overall execution, with Shifting Gears currently sitting at a “rotten” 45% Rotten Tomatoes score. Choice critics were kinder to the sitcom,...

The acclaimed sitcom "Modern Family" was an enormous hit with audiences and influential on contemporary American television. Running for 11 seasons from 2009 to 2020, the ABC comedy took the mockumentary format, popularized by sitcoms like "The Office," out of the workplace and into a domestic context. And while the conclusion of "Modern Family" left a void in network television, there are plenty of similar comedies that fans can connect with.

From other family-based network sitcoms to shows that adopt a similar mockumentary style, "Modern Family" has a growing number of like-minded counterparts. These shows offer hilarious perspectives on the ever-evolving state of the American family, reflecting the times that we live in. The types of families examined range from lower-middle-class families struggling to make ends meet to the ultra-rich who are brought down a few pegs to comical effect. For those looking to keep the laughs coming in a similar sitcom vein,...

Though their first collaboration resulted in one of the most memorable pop crossovers of the 2010s, it had been years since singer Maren Morris had worked with “The Middle” producers Jordan and Stefan Johnson of The Monsters & Strangerz.

Bryan Cranston is confirmed to be returning for a reboot of Malcolm in the Middle — but in the meantime, check out his other classic TV show, Breaking Bad. It was recently confirmed that a Malcolm in the Middle revival is in the works for Disney+. Cranston will reprise his role as Hal, Frankie Muniz will reprise his role as Malcolm, and Jane Kaczmarek will reprise her role as Lois. The reboot will consist of four new episodes, and it’ll see Hal and Lois demanding that Malcolm attend their 40th wedding anniversary party with his daughter.

It could be a while before the Malcolm in the Middle reboot finally streams on Disney+, but Cranston has plenty of other classic TV shows to watch during the wait.

However, off-screen, he was nothing like his coarse character. Instead, he was a friendly, warmhearted guy.

"He made me feel welcome," said Ray Romano. "He made me feel part of the club."

Alan Rachins, an actor known for his work on the series “L.A. Law” and “Dharma & Greg,” died early Saturday morning. He was 82.

Rachins died in his sleep of heart failure, his manager Mark Teitelbaum confirmed to Variety.

“In the pilot episode, there was nothing of the more flamboyant or bizarre side of Douglas; he was going to be the hard-line office manager, the penny pincher,” Rachins said in a 1990 interview with The New York Times. “It was kind of limited, and I didn’t know where it was going. But quickly it developed a lot more color and flamboyance.”

ESPN’s Chris Fowler may find himself in an unusual position when he’s in the middle of calling one of the college football games slated for broadcast on ABC or ESPN. He may look up at a monitor during a commercial break and see himself talking to millions of viewers — even though the network is showing nothing but ads.

That’s because Fowler, well known to sports fans thanks to years of calling ABC’s Saturday-night college football games and hosting ESPN’s long-running “College GameDay,” is an integral part of a new ad campaign from Heineken’s Dos Equis that seeks to make the beer a critical part of the game experience. In addition to commercials that feature Fowler acting as a coach, Dos Equis has been running a sweepstakes that could reward contestants when teams “go for dos” and attempt a two-point conversion.

Vijal Patel’s family-centered comedy series “The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh” makes its official debut, with “Lost” star Naveen Andrews starring as husband and father Mahesh Pradeep.

The Pradeeps have officially touched down in the U.S. after traveling from their home country India, and they’re open to new experiences and communities. But a few run-ins with polar-opposite neighbors lands them in an interrogation room — and that’s just the start of their new lives in America.

The 'family sitcom' gets a kick in the pants with The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh, the new Freevee series from creator Vijal Patel, a veteran of acclaimed series like Black-ish, The Middle, and The Mayor. The series follows the Pradeep family, Indian immigrants seeking a new life in The United States. However, something clearly went wrong, since the show is told via flashbacks as the family and their neighbors are interviewed by a pair of federal agents investigating a community-shattering arson case.

The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh is loosely based on the life and upbringing of creator Vijal Patel, but with the serialized mystery element adding an extra layer of intrigue and excitement. In addition, being on Prime Video and Freevee instead of traditional broadcast television allows The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh to get away with saltier language and more risqu situations, while still remaining more-or-less family-friendly.

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&b) spoilers document that Taylor Hayes’ (Rebecca Budig) unexpected peace offering pleasantly surprised Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).

She did not expect Budig’s character to agree to be friends again. But that seems possible because of current factors.

Viewers later learned that Taylor is motivated by her mortality. Telling Li Nozawa (Naomi Matsuda) that she is in heart failure alters the daytime dynamic dramatically.

Whether Taylor will actually die, as she believes she will, is unknown. However, this is soap, so sustainability is always possible.

It’s reasonable to believe that Taylor won’t die. She is a legacy character, and Budig is a daytime veteran. So, a very emotional storyline with sadness and trauma could be ahead, followed by a hoped-for positive outcome.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Ridge Forrester In The Middle

Ridge loves Brooke. They are together but not married.

Sue Heck (Eden Sher), or Sue Sue Heck if we're going by her ridiculous full name, was one of the best characters in The Middle, and I'm so disappointed that we never got her spinoff series. The overlooked middle child of the Heck family and the only girl, Sue Heck is a hilarious character in The Middle and one of the most loveable. Optimistic and sunny to a fault, Sue is often let down by those around her, but her ability to spring back up from every setback was always as funny to me as it was inspiring.

I was never disappointed when Sue appeared on-screen, and she wasn't a one-note character either. Sue had plenty of struggles and was also well aware of how indifferently even her own family often treated her. Sue was in some ways the perfect avatar for The Middle. Sandwiched between juggernaut shows like Modern Family,...
