Gutenberg! The Musical was written in 2005, six years before its leading men Josh Gad and Andrew Rannells made their star turns in The Book of Mormon. Yet you could've knocked me over with a page out of the Gutenberg Bible, Old or New Testament, telling me it wasn't written expressly for Gad and Ranells, who slip and slide through this uproarious show as if tailor-made for them. I can be forgiven for never having heard of Gutenberg!
Talk about a ruff gig. Disney+'s Turner & Hooch series, which is a reboot of the 1989 Tom Hanks film of the same name, stars Josh Peck as U.S. Marshal Scott Turner, the son of Hanks' character. Like his dad before him, he inherits as his partner a large, unruly dog that he doesn't really want, but grows to love. Five different dogs were used to portray Hooch, which at times felt like "

Journey's Neal Schon is holding on to his feeling of anger over three of his bandmates being "exploited" during a recent White House visit, leaving the future of the group's current iteration in doubt. On July 27, Arnel Pineda, Jonathan Cain, and Ross Valory took a tour of the White House and posed for an Oval Office photo with President Trump. Schon, the group's guitarist and co-founder, hasn't taken kindly to the news, sharing his anger over the perception that it was a visit from Journey as a whole and that his bandmates allowed politics to seep into the group.
The View cohost Joy Behar has suggested she believes there could be a political conspiracy tied to forthcoming involuntary manslaughter charges brought against Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, after the liberal actor and the crew member were involved in the October 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie Rust. The talk show's panel got into a heated discussion on the topic at the top of Friday's episode, which Behar — filling in as moderator in Whoopi Goldberg's absence — kicked off by inquiring about shared responsibility on the production, which saw a firearm discharge on the set of the Western film, injuring director Joel Souza and fatally wounding Hutchins.
Colombian rock artist Juanes has performed for packed stadiums and concert venues both in the U.S. and abroad, but he says those shows pale in comparison to his planned performance for Pope Francis in Philadelphia later this week. “It’s like I’ve been waiting my entire life to perform at an event like this,” says the 42-year-old. “I was shocked when I received the invitation. I couldn’t believe it, and I’m very grateful.
Judge Judy Sheindlin's decision to leave her hit show after 25 years wasn't what you'd call a snap judgement. In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, Sheindlin revealed that tensions with Judge Judy studio CBS contributed to her departure from the long-running daytime court show. According to the Journal, CBS bought out Sheindlin's ownership of Judge Judy reruns to prevent the host from shopping the show's library to other companies.
Judge Mathis and The People's Court will soon deliver their final verdicts. The popular daytime reality courtroom series have both been canceled after more than 20 years on the air, reports Deadline. They will close their doors after the end of Judge Mathis' 24th season and The People's Court's 26th season. Judge Mathis, which premiered in 1999, centers around titular arbitrator Greg Mathis as he weighs in on a variety of legal matters ranging from financial disputes to emotional distress claims.
Not since Lazarus was coaxed out for a costume change had there been a comeback quite as celebrated as the one documented in Judy at Carnegie Hall, which is getting a much-needed CD remastering on the occasion of its 40th anniversary. Judy Garland’s 1961 one-nighter wasn’t her first or last phoenix-style resurrection — she’d made a cottage industry out of those — only her best. The show caught the century’s greatest female entertainer at that magic hour when the nervous girlishness and no-holds-barred vibrato from her early movie musicals could cheerfully cohabitate with a heartrending sensitivity to loss and regret in the classic ballads being added to her repertoire.
It’s a sartorial question as old as the boxers-versus-briefs debate: How does any fashion plate worth her bath salts choose between comfort and style? In the year 2001, pop-culture tastes shifted from one extreme to another, extolling the virtues of granny underwear one minute (à la Bridget Jones’s Diary), and coveting the rib-bruising Moulin Rouge and Victoria’s Secret corsets the next. Post-9/11, there was even more change, with fashion followers eschewing ’80s-inspired, camouflage-heavy getups in favor of comfy charity tees and flowy peasant blouses.
