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.”

George and Amal Clooney Forced to Evacuate Home in France Amid Wildfires

George and Amal Clooney have evacuated their home in France amid the ongoing wildfires. The couple and their nine-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella, currently live in the town of Brignoles in southeastern France, one of multiple regions in Europe where fires are spreading.

The Clooneys confirmed their evacuation in a letter to Brignoles mayor Didier Brémond. “At this point we have no idea whether our beautiful home makes it through this terrible moment,” they wrote, according to People. “As we evacuate Brignoles we want to emphasize two things, first we hope you and the people of our city are safe and second that Amal and I are committed to making sure that whatever happens to our village, we are part of this community and we’ll be part of making it whole. We love Brignoles and our friends who live there.”

Jared Leto Accused of Criminal Sexual Conduct by Four Women in BBC Documentary

Four women have accused Jared Leto of criminal sexual conduct. The allegations, which took place when the women were teenagers, were recounted in a new BBC documentary Jared Leto: Hollywood’s Dark Secret, which aired Wednesday.

One of the women said she was sexually assaulted by Leto in a motel bathroom when she was 17. Another, then 19, said Leto threatened her with sexual assault after being left alone with him in a hotel room. A third woman claims she had underage sex with Leto in California when she was 17, which would be classified as statutory rape in the state. The fourth woman claimed she was groomed by Leto and accused him of abusing his celebrity status by making repeated sexually explicit phone calls to her when she was 16. (Reps for Leto did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Leto did not respond to “repeated attempts” by the BBC to contact him.)

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Is the Same Old MCU B.S.

With great corporate intellectual property comes great responsibility, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day has a lot to carry a lot on its red-and-blue-suited shoulders. It’s coming off a Spidey film, 2019’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, that was a highlight of the series, but left our friendly neighborhood hero and the narrative in a weird place (memory erasing, M.J. pining, multiverse yadda yadda yadda). It has to tee up the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next big swing, the all-hands-on-deck Avengers: Doomsday. And it needs to remind folks why they initially fell in love with the MCU’s grand storytelling experiment after several years of superhero fatigue, brand over-extension and way too many brick shots, as well as ensure the financial stability of not one but two conglomerate-owned studios.
