The 30th annual Critics Choice Awards are set to air on Jan. 12 and this year, the show will move from its recent home of the CW over to E! — a perfect fit for returning host Chelsea Handler, who once was a staple on the cable net with her “Chelsea Lately” talk show.

The Critics Choice Assn. submissions window for television categories run from Sept. 23 to Nov. 18, with deliberations kicking off Nov. 11 and continuing through Dec. 3. The TV nominations will be announced on Dec. 5. Film nominations will be announced Dec. 12; then, the film and television voting merges for final ballots. Cca members will be sent ballots on Jan. 5 and must return them by Jan. 10 at 9 p.m. Pt.

Sandra Bullock and Chris Evans have never featured together in a film but are reportedly good friends. The two have expressed their admiration for each other on several occasions, with Evans even claiming that he had posters of Bullock on his wall and was a huge fan. Naturally, the two were even linked together at one point.

Evans is currently married and Bullock was in a relationship with photographer Bryan Randall until his death last year. The two were linked almost ten years ago in 2014 when they were reportedly spotted together in West Hollywood. However, when asked about the rumored relationship, Bullock gave a sarcastic response.

Chris Evans and Sandra Bullock have been known for their appearances in rom-coms and action films as well as their approachable off-screen personality.

Chelsea Handler dated former NBC and ABC chairman Ted Harbert for four years before breaking off the relationship. During an interview last year, Handler brought attention to the relationship once again by revealing a threesome relationship with her masseuse. She shared that she ended up hooking up with the masseuse without Harbert, which prompted her to break things off with him.

However, in a later interview, she clarified that she didn’t leave Harbert for the masseuse. She also added that she forgot that she revealed raunchy details about her and Harbert’s personal lives until she got a text message from the former TV executive. Needless to say, Harbert was not happy about Handler’s revelation.

Chelsea Lately was one of those comedy shows that really made waves with its guest appearances. It kicked off in 2007 and wrapped up after four seasons, but one of its funniest moments was when Sandra Bullock dropped by as a guest.

Things got even funnier when the scene with Chelsea Handler and Bullock took place in the shower. With both of them completely naked, the joke centers on Handler’s hosting skills, as she’s always been known for her flirtatious behavior with her guests.

50 Cent famously is going to get rich or die tryin’ — that is, unless it’s rapping at a Donald Trump rally, as the artist says he turned down a $3 million offer to perform at Trump’s event at Madison Square Garden on Sunday (October 27th).

As reported by Variety, the veteran hip-hop figure addressed rumors that Trump’s team offered him money for an endorsement while on “The Breakfast Club.” 50 explained he had indeed received a call with a very lucrative offer to perform at Trump’s Sunday rally. He also confirmed that he was asked to perform at the Republican National Convention as well.

The new play Left on Tenth is now open on Broadway!

Lead stars Julianna Margulies and Peter Gallagher walked the red carpet together at the opening night performance on Wednesday (October 23) at the James Earl Jones Theater in New York City.

Left on Tenth, based on Delia Ephron‘s memoir, is a romantic comedy about second chances in life and love. When she least expects it, Delia, beloved novelist and screenwriter of You’ve Got Mail, makes a surprising connection with a man from her past and falls into her own romantic comedy. What starts with an unlikely spark blossoms into a love story that seems to defy all odds in the face of life’s challenges.

Peter‘s daughter Kathryn Gallagher, a Tony-nominated and Grammy-winning actress who can be seen in Netflix’s new movie Woman of the Hour, walked the carpet after writing an emotional post on Instagram.

“Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper is revealing some info about her fave celeb guests…and also one terrible interview with a male actor that she had to scrap.

Alex named some of her fave celeb guests, including Miley Cyrus, Jane Fonda, Christina Aguilera, Keke Palmer, RuPaul, and Chelsea Handler.

She then was asked her “least favorite” guest, to which she responded (via THR), “Least favorite is one that never aired, and I can’t say their name. It was a male actor who just was giving nothing. You could tell he was on a press run. I didn’t want to blow his butt up, but I was like, ‘Bro, you don’t want to be here.

Vintage 9-1-1.

That’s what this opening emergency arc has been from start to finish.

I lied. Of Course, I have notes because I’m me, and there’s so much to talk about with this one.

The plane’s landing was only some of the drama of this hour, which is wild to think about. They could have drug it out even longer, and I would still have been wildly invested.

And that had everything to do with Angela Bassett, who constantly reminds you why she’s a Hollywood A-lister.

She’s always played Athena with such confidence and assurance, but there have been moments where Athena was unsure, this being one of them.

Everybody will be in LA every week — and by “everybody,” we mean John Mulaney, and by “in LA,” we mean “live on Netflix.”

The comedian will host, executive-produce, and co-showrun an as-yet-untitled live variety talk show on Netflix starting in early 2025, the streamer’s chief content officer Bela Bajaria announced at the Bloomberg Screentime conference on Thursday (via The Hollywood Reporter). The show will build upon the success of Mulaney’s Emmy-nominated talk show “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA,” the live format Netflix launched earlier this year.

That show did six live episodes featuring sketches, field pieces, celebrity interviews, musical guests, and more. And now Netflix officially wants more.

“We have a long relationship with John, and we have done the stand-up specials, and during Netflix Is a Joke Festival this year, he did a live talk show called ‘Everybody’s in LA,’” Bajaria said at the conference. “I...

John Mulaney is coming back to Netflix with another talk show.

The news comes after the run of Everybody’s In LA, Mulaney’s slightly chaotic show that was centered around the Netflix is a Joke festival.

Mulaney, while promoting the show on the FYC circuit, said that Everybody’s In LA “can’t get renewed”, but it turns out he’s working on something that sounds remarkably similar.

Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria revealed that Netflix was making a live variety talk show with the former SNL star on stage at the Bloomberg Screentime conference.

She said that the company had a “long relationship” with Mulaney and called Everybody’s In LA “bold, original and fresh.”

Former TV host James Corden divulged that he had previously attempted to use the viral diet drug Ozempic to lose weight – but it didn’t yield any results for him.

An Fda-approved prescription medication for type 2 diabetes, Ozempic has become an increasingly popular (and dangerous) diet tactic, particularly among celebrities.

In conversation with his guest, Richard Osman, on an episode of his podcast This Life of Mine, Corden reviewed his life-long battle with bad food habits and addiction.

“We are artists who want sustainable peace in the Middle East and recognize that the first essential step towards that peace is Hamas returning the 101 remaining hostages, including five Americans, who were stolen from their lives on October 7th,” the letter begins. “We cannot afford to stand by silently while Hamas brutally executes more innocent hostages.

Chelsea Handler, Connie Britton, Andy Cohen, Mayim Bialik, Patricia Heaton, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ali Landry, Rebecca Minkoff, Isaac Mizrahi, Michael Rapaport, Melissa Rivers, Gail Simmons, Amy Smart, Constance Zimmer and Ariel Martin are among 62 performers and artists — from across television, film, fashion, reality TV and social media — urging President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to bring home the 101 remaining Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas.

At Cooper’s live variety shows, fans will be treated to interviews and musical performances from surprise celebrity guests.

Sally Field has returned to social media, thanks to Kamala Harris’ presidential bid.

The Oscar-winning actress posted two separate posts on her Instagram, sharing that she is back on the platform as a result of Harris running for president alongside Tim Walz as her vice president nominee.

“I’ve not been on social media. Not since it became public toilet paper for our former crook of a President. But ‘hope is making a comeback.’ So here I am,” she captioned a carousel of her with her dog, Dash, on Thursday.

She posted a second photo on Friday of her in front of the TV playing the Democratic National Convention. “Hope is here. Right in the room with me and my 18-year-old newly registered to vote grandson,” she wrote. “I’m, screaming from the highest mountain top I can find.”

Given the state of U.S. politics after the past four weeks, one would expect most politically-focused shows to be in meltdown mode. But “The Daily Show” isn’t most shows.

“[Election years] are the seasons we get most excited about,” Desi Lydic, who is hosting this upcoming week starting on Tuesday night, told TheWrap. “We’re really clicked in and prepared to turn at a moment’s notice, and shift the story to accommodate for the day’s news. That’s kind of what we’re built for.”

Earlier this summer, the team was prepared for “the world’s most terrifying and also perhaps boring reboot” in another face-off between former President Donald Trump and sitting President Joe Biden. But between the assassination attempt on Trump on July 13, and Biden stepping down as the primary Democratic candidate to be replaced by Vice President Kamala Harris, any level of predictability has been thrown out the window.

Chelsea Handler has shared her thoughts on Jd Vance’s resurfaced comments about childless women, targeting the Ohio senator and vice-presidential candidate’s controversial remarks.

In a 2021 interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Vance stated that the U.S. was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made.”

Handler’s Response To Jd Vance’s Comment

Handler, 49, fired back in an Instagram video, pointing out the systemic issues in the country. “This country is still controlled by men in systems that were set up by men, that are carefully crafted to continue to benefit men,” Handler said. “So to put it in women-hating terms you’ll understand, you’re being hysterical.”

Handler, who has no children, also defended Vice President Kamala Harris, stating that there is no correlation between being childless and being unfit for the presidency.

Chelsea Handler has jumped into the Jd Vance “childless cat ladies” drama with a brutal burn against the Republican vice presidential candidate. Handler referred to Vance as “Donald Trump‘s running mate and future star of his own Dateline episode” before showing the controversial 2021 clip of Vance referring to Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, as “a bunch of childless cat ladies.” “Listen up, you wingnut elegy. This country is still controlled by men in systems that were set up by men that are carefully crafted to continue to benefit men,” the comedian said in a video shared on X. “So, to put it in women-hating terms you’ll understand, you’re being hysterical.” She continued, “Let’s be clear, there’s no correlation between childless people and the presidency. For example, our very first United States president, Mr. George Washington, didn’t have children. In fact, he had two step-children.

Donald Trump may be regretting his choice of running-mate and wondering “Why did I pick this guy?” according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Over the past few weeks since Trump announced his decision, the narrative that Sen. J.D. Vance is “weird” has gained traction, and Schumer speculated that may have the former president considering replacing him.

“Every day, it comes out Vance has done something more extreme, more weird, more erratic,” Schumer said. “Vance seems to be more weird and erratic than President Trump, and I’ll bet President Trump is sitting there,...

Chelsea Handler responded Sunday to resurfaced comments from J.D. Vance regarding women without children.

“To put it in women-hating terms you understand, you’re being hysterical,” Handler said in a video posted to Instagram.

Last week, comments that Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate made in 2021 resurfaced online, including a clip in which Vance told Tucker Carlson that the United States was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.”

“Listen up you wingnut elegy, this country is still controlled by men and systems that were set up by men that are carefully crafted to continue to benefit men,” Handler said in a fast-speaking response. “Let’s be clear, there is no correlation between childless people and the presidency. For example,...

Armie Hammer had a distinguished acting career before a slew of scandals and legal troubles brought it to an abrupt end. However, prior to all of this, he appeared in a number of highly regarded shows and movies. One of which was Blake Lively’s Gossip Girl. He appeared on the show as Gabriel Edwards, a con man who briefly dates Lively’s character Serena van der Woodsen.

But he was abruptly removed in the second season after just four episodes. Even though his time on the show was limited, it reportedly had a fascinating tie to Anne Hathaway’s tragic real-life love story.

50 Cent jumped off the Donald Trump bandwagon before the 2020 presidential election, but the rapper appears to be back on board after the assassination attempt against the GOP nominee this past weekend. According to multiple CNN reports, the artist is “in talks” to appear at the ongoing Republican National Convention.

In an initial report, CNN This Morning Weekend co-anchor Victor Blackwell wrote, “50 Cent is currently scheduled to perform at the GOP convention this week, according to a person familiar. The person cautioned plans could still change, but as of Monday morning, 50 was scheduled to perform at the convention.”

Kate Sullivan, who covers the Trump beat for CNN, followed up this afternoon and clarified: “50 Cent is in talks with convention officials to appear in Milwaukee during the GOP convention, according to a person familiar.”

Stayed tuned for a more concrete update, but 50 Cent’s appearance would be a logical next step...

Exclusive: Members of the Hollywood guilds are throwing their weight behind IATSE and the Basic Crafts as the below-the-line unions continue to chip away at new three-year deals with the studios.

Deadline has obtained a letter of solidarity signed by nearly 400 members across the WGA, PGA, DGA and SAG-AFTRA. Signatories include Alan Ritchson, Amy Schumer, Lily Waschowski, Boots Riley, Connie Britton, Chelsea Handler, Mark Ruffalo, Lamorne Morris, Gina Prince Bythwood, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Charlie Kaufman, Kerry Washington, Quinta Brunson, Natasha Lyonne, Ryan Coogler, Will Forte, and Sarah Polley.

The letter, addressed directly to the Alliance of Motion Picture Television Producers, urges the Carol Lombardini-led group to give the unions “a fair contract that acknowledges their essential contributions to production and allows these behind-the-scenes artists, artisans, and craftspeople to live and retire with dignity.”

“We support their requests for protectionists from emerging tech and AI, wage increases commensurate with cost of living increases,...

Exclusive: More than two years after unionizing through the WGA East, the writers at iHeartPodcasts still don’t have their first deal with the network. Now, the 100-member unit is prepared to strike if an agreement isn’t reached soon.

Deadline hears there is “overwhelming support” for a Ulp work stoppage if a tentative deal with iHeartPodcast Network is not reached by the end of the month.

The threat of a strike comes a month after the writers filed unfair labor practice charges against their employer for “engaging in intimidating conduct and by interrogating employees about their support for the union.”

In a statement to Deadline, the writers said: “After 2 years at the bargaining table, we hope to finally come to an agreement with management this week. But in the case we do not come to a fair agreement, our unit needs to take action to push management to make...

A few months ago, Dolly Parton broke her silence on Elle King’s drunken performance at the Grand Ole Opry. King, 34, had constantly faced backlash from country fans and beyond for saying she was “f—ing hammered” during her birthday tribute to Parton at the Grand Ole Opry in January.

King admitted her performance was “f—ing bad” while trying to perform one of Parton’s classics, ‘Marry Me.’ She also made a joke about people expecting her to know the lyrics to the song. “I can barely play another person’s song, let me see if I can play one of mine,” King said.

Fans also fished out a separate video where King was heard telling the crowd that they were not getting their money back.

Elle King offered the most detailed account of her disastrous performance at the Grand Ole Opry’s Dolly Parton tribute show earlier this year — and the incredible kindness Parton showed her afterward — on Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast.

As King herself acknowledged, she committed a “big no-no” at the January concert: She “cussed on stage, hammered” at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and appeared to forget the lyrics to Parton’s song “Marry Me.” While King released a short statement about the matter on Instagram back in March, she noted...
