The world caught a sneak preview of the new Daniel Radicliffe and Tracy Morgan‘s new sitcom The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins when NBC aired the pilot after an NBC playoff game last month. Today, the network revealed that Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion will appear on a future episode once they launch the rest of the inaugural season.

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins centers around a former NFL star (Morgan) who attempts to put his life back together after a gambling scandal ruins him. Radcliffe plays a documentary filmmaker hired to create a movie about his life. The cast is rounded out by Erika Alexander, Precious Way, Jalyn Hall, and SNL vet Bobby Moynihan. It’s produced by the 30 Rock duo of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock.

Megan Thee Stallion will play a divorced mother who begins a romantic relationship with Radicliffe. It’s unclear how many episodes she’ll appear in. Her previous screen credits include Dicks: The Musical, Good Girls, and P-Valley. She was also the host and musical guest of a 2022 episode of Saturday Night Live.

Of course outside of her acting forays, she’s been busy with her music career: She spent 2024 on the Hot Girl Summer tour, hitting arenas all across Europe and North America, in support of her most recent LP, 2024’s Megan.

Two months ago, she won a legal victory against blogger Milagro Gramz, who was accused of spreading deepfake pornographic videos about her. Megan was awarded $59,000.

“We are thankful for the jury’s commitment to reinforcing the importance of truth, accountability and responsible commentary on social media,” Megan’s lawyer, Mari Henderon, said in a statement. “Not only is Milagro being held accountable for paying Megan compensatory and punitive damages, but Florida’s fee-shifting legal provision will require her to cover costs of Megan’s legal bills on the deepfake claim. This verdict sends a clear message that spreading dangerous misinformation carries significant consequences.”

The official trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s long-in-the-works Michael Jackson biopic has arrived ahead of the film’s release on April 24.

The clip offers the most comprehensive look so far at Michael, which will feature Jaafar Jackson — the late star’s nephew — in the title role. While the previously-released Michael teaser appeared to offer a surprisingly upbeat and rosy view of Jackson’s life and career, this new trailer hints at some of turmoil underneath, while still stressing the King of Pop’s love of music and myriad achievements.

Bruce Willis Is Unaware He Has Dementia, His Wife Reveals

Bruce Willis Is Unaware He Has Dementia, His Wife Reveals

Bruce Willis “doesn’t know” he has frontotemporal dementia, his wife, Emma Heming Willis, revealed in a new interview released Wednesday (Jan. 28). “Bruce never, never tapped in, Heming Willis, 47, said on the Conversations With Cam podcast. “He never connected the dots that he had this disease, and I’m really happy about that. I’m really happy that he doesn’t know about it.”

Willis, 70, retired from acting in 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder. His family later disclosed that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia, or FTD. Heming Willis explained that her husband experiences a neurological phenomenon called anosognosia, in which the brain cannot recognize its own decline. “People think this might be denial, like they don’t want to go to the doctor because they’re like, ‘I’m fine, I’m fine,'” she told host Cameron Oaks Rogers. “Actually, it’s this anosognosia that comes into play. It’s not denial. It’s just that their brain is changing. This is a part of the disease.”

The NHL Wants Gay Fans to Feel Welcome. Can ‘Heated Rivalry’ Make It Happen?

No one — not creator Jacob Tierney, or author Rachel Reid, or stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams — knew that the steamy hockey series Heated Rivalry would be a runaway hit.

It’s only been less than two months since the Crave Original’s Nov. 28 premiere, but the series has blown up in a way even the show’s most involved collaborators could never have imagined. Heated Rivalry charts the secret love story of rival hockey players Shane Hollander (Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Storrie) as they go from rookies to famed NHL stars. Support for the show has grown exponentially, turning Williams and Storrie from virtual unknowns to highly anticipated late-night guests and presenters at the Golden Globes. (“Everyone wants to meet you,” Tessa Thompson cooed to Williams at a recent Chanel party at the Chateau Marmont, as cameras captured his blush.) It’s an unexpected moment for a series that was produced by a Canadian streaming service best known for making beloved cult hits like Tierney’s Letterkenny. But while fans are focused on the show’s steamy scenes, there’s another group that could benefit from the attention: real life hockey teams.
