J.K. Rowling has given the Harry Potter series her stamp of approval. The controversial author recently took to X (formerly Twitter)to praise the show, which is set to be a “faithful adaptation” of Rowling’s mega-selling fantasy series. She also noted that she “worked closely with the extremely talented writers” on the series. “I read the first two episodes of the forthcoming HBO Harry Potter series and they are SO, SO, SO GOOD!” she added. It was previously revealed that Rowling would be an executive producer on the Harry Potter show, but wasn’t expected to have day-to-day involvement. While the author…
A half-century ago, Hollywood Squares, the life-size celebrity tic-tac-toe game, won its first Emmy for outstanding game show. Hollywood Squares had premiered as a pilot on NBC in 1965, with the premise that famous panelists in a giant board help (or hinder) contestants by answering a question from the host. The contestant chooses to agree or disagree with the answer and earns the square for themselves if they choose correctly, or for their opponent if incorrect. Three squares in a row wins the contestant cash and prizes. When the show became a series in 1966, Peter Marshall signed on as a…
Our annual Drama Actor Emmy Roundtable had barely begun, and the six stars assembled were already swapping fears, horror stories and whatever morsels of wisdom they picked up along the way. The group — Walton Goggins, Cooper Koch, Diego Luna, Eddie Redmayne, Adam Scott and Jeffrey Wright — would go well past the allotted hour, regaling each other with tales of their early years, navigating ugly comments (among them: “You’re not getting cast because you have a gay voice,” and, “You don’t have the looks, so you’d better work harder than everyone”) and desperately chasing other more successful careers. Or, in…

Looking back at his relationship with ex-wife Amber Heard and his defamation case against her that followed, Johnny Depp is getting candid about that era of his life. In a rare interview with The Sunday Times, the Oscar-nominated actor called himself a “crash test dummy” for the #MeToo Movement regarding Heard’s initial allegations against him in 2016 after she filed for divorce, accusing him of domestic violence. The accusations led to two highly publicized trials. In 2018, Depp filed a libel lawsuit against The Sun after the British tabloid newspaper called him a “wife beater.” The actor lost the case, as…

Pete Townshend has a simple description of The Who’s turbulent split with longtime drummer Zak Starkey: “It’s a mess.” In a new interview with i Paper, the legendary guitarist and songwriter opened up about the chaotic sequence of events earlier this year involving Starkey’s firing, rehiring and eventual departure. Starkey, a veteran session and touring drummer, had been part of The Who’s lineup for nearly 30 years. “I will miss Zak terribly. But quite what the story is, I don’t f—king know. I really don’t know,” Townsend admitted. The confusion began in April when Townshend and The Who frontman Roger…
Rachael Kirkconnell & Matt JamesStatus: SplitIn the years since Matt and graphic designer Rachael Kirkconnell left his 2021 season together (then briefly split and eventually reunited), they’ve faced many a breakup rumor. “I think everybody needs to take a break from social media,” the former Bachelor exclusively told E! News at a July 18 Baskin-Robbins event. “Our lives are lived so much in front of our phones that when anybody steps out of being on their phone 24/7, people think it’s the end of the world.” In fact, Matt said marriage remains the end-game for the pair. “I think the good thing about…
“I feel like I’ve made not the best choices when it comes to relationships,” she added. ”I feel like I’m really good at putting on rose-colored glasses or just getting swept up in it all.” But while she made it clear that she was going to be okay, Tammy—who shares kids Wolf, 10, and Saskia, 8, with her ex Reece Hawkins as well as Posy, 3, with ex-boyfriend Matt Poole—said that the “worst part” of her and Matt’s separation is the effect it might have on her little ones. So, she decided to focus on spending time with her kids…
