Another Season of American Idol has come and gone. Season 22 crowned winner Abi Carter Sunday night, and judge Katy Perry bid the show farewell. Perry sat at the judges’ panel for seven seasons alongside Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan.
Following 15 seasons on Fox, ABC revived the singing competition series in 2018. The show began in June 2002, and it launched careers of musicians like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and more. A different trio of judges — Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul — helmed the show at the start alongside host Ryan Seacrest — who has shepherded the show through all of its changes.

Paul McCartney is the first U.K. musician to become a billionaire, it has been revealed, as the Sunday Times unveiled all the famous faces on its wealth-tracking Rich List for 2024.
The top 350 are not just your typical hedge fund owners and oil moguls — the list includes the King, the British Prime Minister and even a Catholic priest. But entertainment has its place on the Rich List. Here are some of the biggest names you might recognize.
None other than Salma Hayek is the most significant name in showbiz near the top of the list. She and her billionaire businessman husband François-Henri Pinault came in at an eye-watering 31st with 6.147 billion pounds in fashion and film. (Pinault is CEO of Kering, a luxury goods corporation that owns brands such as Gucci, Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta and Alexander McQueen.)

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis,” which premiered at Cannes Film Festival on May 16.
The wait is over: Francis Ford Coppola’s sci-fi drama “Megalopolis” has finally premiered at Cannes Film Festival, shocking and dividing critics.
The film, a $120 million epic starring Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Giancarlo Esposito and Shia Labeouf, was financed by Coppola himself — and has yet to secure a distributor in the United States. Regardless, the movie earned a 7-minute standing ovation from Cannes, as Coppola hugged Driver and Esposito and delivered an emotional speech dedicating the film to hope and family.
Variety chief film critic Peter Debruge wrote in his review that the film “is positively awe-inspiring in some places and an absolute eyesore in others, until you pull back and try to take it all in.” Though reactions have been mixed, the film was undoubtedly jam-packed with scenes that...

While she has playfully remarked in a TVGuide chat that she’s “5′ 9 1/2”, she confessed in a February 2005 Allure Magazine interview that she’s 5 feet 9 inches but tends to add an extra half inch due to the common practice of others exaggerating their height.

Fans are noticing a huge difference between American Idol now and how it was when the show first started on Fox. In the original series, judges like Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson were often brutally honest in their critiques of singers. However, the current judges on the show seem almost scared to say anything overly negative about the singers.
Here is how American Idol has changed and what fans think about the differences in the judges’ attitudes.
Is American Idol Kinder To Contestants Now?
Nothing is wrong with being kind on a reality TV singing competition show. However, some fans feel it has gone too far. One thing that shows like American Idol are supposed to do is find the stars of the future. It should also prepare them for a career in the music industry.
With that said, many fans have complained that the judges on the show now...

A known outdoorsman, Offerman told the crowd he was a “huge fan” of the organization before jumping into his opening song, but not before offering the non-profit a quick suggestion for what the night’s funds should be used towards. “I want to hope they’ll use some of the proceeds from tonight to think tank a flashier name,” Offerman joked with audience.

An improvement is expected during this quarter, Rtl added, pointing to the launch of a second season of BBC drama The Responder and new BBC series Nightsleeper, as well as season 19 of America’s Got Talent for NBC and Race To Survive: New Zealand for the USA Network in the U.S. Fremantle will also start realizing its €200M investment in Death in Paradise content group Asacha and 80% of Singapore’s Beach House Pictures.

An improvement is expected during this quarter, Rtl added, pointing to the launch of a second season of BBC drama The Responder and new BBC series Nightsleeper, as well as season 19 of America’s Got Talent for NBC and Race To Survive: New Zealand for the USA Network in the U.S. Fremantle will also start realizing its €200M investment in Death in Paradise content group Asacha and 80% of Singapore’s Beach House Pictures.

Revenues at Bertelsmann’s Luxembourg-based Rtl Group, a media giant which owns Fremantle, rose 2.6% to €1.3 billion ($1.4 billion), for the first quarter of 2024, driven by buoyant TV advertising and streaming.
However, this was offset by decreased revenues at the group’s global content business. Fremantle revenues were down 9.2% to €395 million (Q1/2023: €435 million), due to what Rtl describes as “timing effects in the U.K., Italy and Germany.”
“Revenue from Fremantle is recognized when a show or series is delivered to its clients, i.e. the broadcasters and streaming services. One example: The German version of ‘Idols’ (‘Deutschland Sucht den Superstar’) has been on air for many years in the first quarter of the year. In 2024, the show will be on air in autumn [fall] – thus the revenue will be recognized in the second half of 2024,” an Rtl spokesperson told Variety.

Gina Brillon is a Puerto Rican actress, stand-up comedian, writer, and mom born and raised in the Bronx. In 2012, she became the first and only Latina winner of NBC's Stand Up for Diversity Showcase. She went on to release comedy specials on NuvoTV, HBO, and Amazon Prime. She has appeared on "The View," "Late Night With Seth Meyers," and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," and was the first Latina comedian to be a finalist in season 16 of "America's Got Talent."
For Mental Health Awareness Month, we asked Latine comedians and creators we admire how comedy has supported them in overcoming trauma and confronting life's most significant challenges. Read the pieces here.
We don't talk enough about the healing powers of humor. The old saying, "laughter is the best medicine," as cliché as it may be, actually has a lot of truth to it. I learned about the power of laughter at a relatively young age.

Amidst political turmoil in the U.S. and abroad, TikTok addressed brand and agency representatives at the 2024 NewFronts. The ByteDance-owned app delivered a pitch that focused on several of its ad products. It is rolling out new options for its premium Pulse Premiere tier and introducing audience measurement solutions from Nielson One Ads and iSpot.tv.
TikTok’s presentation included new details about Pulse, the ad program it revealed at its NewFronts pitch two years ago. Pulse, which resembles YouTube’s Select program, offers roped-off ad inventory next to a selection of top-performing channels. TikTok’s Pulse partners include prominent creators and publishers, and the app is adding some more notable names to that list. New Pulse signees like Paramount Global and the NHL are joining existing partners like Buzzfeed, Conde Nast, and the NFL.

It’s time for some “CSI: Nielsen Ratings.”
CBS is set to win the 2023-24 season as the most-watched network — again — it’s now been 16 straight seasons of the same. CBS has now broken broadcast television’s longest winning streak on record, which was also CBS: From 1955 to 1970, when “Gunsmoke,” “The Andy Griffith Show,” and (some of) “I Love Lucy” ruled its airwaves.
Fast-forward 50 years to the current TV season, which runs from fall (September) through spring (May), and CBS has won 21 of the past 22 years. CBS is also poised to win the season among adults 18-49, long-considered the key demographic for advertisers, as well as its own target market, viewers 25-54. It is also number 1 this year among 18-34-year-olds; Super Bowl Lviii sure helped CBS pull those victories out of its football helmet.
How big was the 2024 Super Bowl? Well, 123.4 million total viewers tuned in across multiple platforms,...

On the East Coast, all eyes are on Donald Trump and his criminal trial over alleged hush-money payments made to porn actress Stormy Daniels and others.
And on the West Coast, another hearing is happening. Yet it, too, involves a beautiful, blond woman and a charismatic showman with a penchant for pulling the wool over people’s eyes.
But this tribunal is unfolding within the insular walls of the Magic Castle — the legendary private club for magicians set inside a foreboding Victorian mansion, formerly a private residence, perched upon a Hollywood hilltop and established in 1963.
The defendant is Murray the Magician, aka Murray Sawchuck, a veteran stage illusionist and comedian who for years has held a residency at the Tropicana in Las Vegas. (The Tropicana shuttered April 2 and is expected to be demolished later this year — but Murray will be touring the world with his act until he installs himself...

This is not a joke — at least not to the leaders of NBC Universal and a small army of NBC Sports producers hunkered down at offices in Stamford, Conn., and Paris, France.
The answer is the Paris Olympics, which will be telecast in the U.S. with a markedly different approach this summer. Primetime coverage will be aimed at a much broader crowd than it has for recent Olympic Games. NBCUniversal has $7.8 billion on the line in rights fees for the Games through 2032, and that nine-figure commitment is forcing the company to shore up its investment by proving that the Olympics is still a cultural juggernaut.

Entropico, an Australian creative firm that last year enjoyed hit status with its first feature-length production, “Onefour: Against All Odds,” is establishing its own film and TV unit Entropico Originals. The new shingle will have Sydney and Los Angeles outposts.
Documentary feature “Onefour: Against All Odds” is an examination of the drill rap phenomenon that is popular in Pacific Islander and working class parts of Australia, the genre’s most popular Australian group and the specialist police force that was set up to stop them performing live. The Gabriel Gasparinatos-directed film became the one of the most-watched movies on Netflix in Australia last year, adding to its cultural impact and popularity.
Entropico has been in business for a decade and positions itself as a “creative company, seamlessly bridging the realms of advertising and entertainment, with clients including brands, creative agencies, broadcast platforms, labels, and artists.”

In late March, she talked with Hoda and Jenna on Today about the possibility of a new tour. But then the AGT star walked off the set in case she let something slip.

Another week, another slay! Aside from the fantastic acts, what I like most about America’s Got Talent is how Heidi Klum transforms the reality talent show into her own fashion show. The supermodel is at it again this week, strutting down the Pasadena pavement in three distinct but equally impressive outfits featuring denim and leather pieces.
Although some of you usually associate leather with cooler temperatures, I think it’s just as perfect for winter-to-spring transitional dressing. On the other hand, denim is a classic wardrobe staple that can freshen up any ensemble.
Check out Klum’s chic wardrobe choices for this week’s AGT Season 19 auditions.
Mixing Casual Denim with Dressy Leather
A fashion icon, Heidi Klum paired casual blue denim jeans with a vibrant red leather shirt and a long leather trench coat on Friday, which, I think, created a visually appealing balanced look.

The Voice is in its 25th season and the coaches believe they know what makes it still popular all these years later. While television ratings have dropped, that has happened across all of television. The Voice‘s ratings remain relatively strong compared to the rest of the television landscape.
Here is why The Voice coaches feel the show remains strong 25 seasons since its start
What Caused The Voice‘s Success?
The Voice has been on the air for 13 years and 25 seasons. As a comparison, Fox canceled American Idol after 15 seasons. Since moving to ABC, it is now in its 22nd season. The Voice has had more seasons than one of the most popular singing competition shows in history. It also easily outlasted a similar show in The X Factor, which only lasted three seasons in the United States.

The new season of America’s Got Talent has seen Heidi Klum whip up yet another set of stylish clothes. As the AGT Season 19 auditions continued this week, the longtime AGT judge did not disappoint with her wardrobe selections.
I was impressed by her outfits, including everything from her seductive black lace dress to her green co-ords and denim-and-leather combo. Let’s have a closer look at her fashion choices for this week.
Edgy yet Sexy in a Delicate Lace Alice + Olivia Dress
Heidi Klum kicked off the week in style, showcasing a mix of edge and sultriness in a black slip dress with lace detailing from Alice + Olivia.
The $695 “Daphne” slip dress is delicate yet sexy with see-through white lace embroidery on the plunging V-neck bodice and along the hem of the asymmetrical midi-length skirt. It also comes with a daring thigh-high slit, allowing the supermodel to parade her insured mile-long legs.

Heidi Klum kicked off the week in style, showcasing a mix of edge and sultriness in a black slip dress with lace detailing from Alice + Olivia.
The $695 “Daphne” slip dress is delicate yet sexy with see-through white lace embroidery on the plunging V-neck bodice and along the hem of the asymmetrical midi-length skirt. It also comes with a daring thigh-high slit, allowing the supermodel to parade her insured mile-long legs.
