The best and brightest of the U.K. and Ireland were celebrated last night in a star-studded bash at the Newport Beach Film Festival UK & Ie Honours event in London. Those receiving honors included Icon Award honoree Stephen Fry, “Nosferatu” and Artist of Distinction honorees Emma Corrin, Sharon Horgan and Felicity Jones.

Before receiving her honor, Jones was seen admiring Variety’s cover story on her “The Brutalist” co-star Adrien Brody, now considered a frontrunner for the best actor Oscar. Jones too, is in the running, nominated for best supporting actress at both the BAFTAs and Oscars for her performance in Brady Corbet’s American epic. “It’s so nice when you put in all the work for a campaign and it actually pays off,” she told Variety.

Over the years, Hollywood has delivered an abundance of memorable on-screen partnerships -- Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, Paul Newman and Robert Redford, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, and Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, among many others. Over 30 years after their first collaboration, it's probably safe to add Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to the list. 

Together, the dynamic duo have produced memorable entertainment aplenty, putting their remarkable chemistry to good use in everything from Kevin Smith's "Dogma" to Affleck's "Air." These guys have teamed up on nearly a dozen projects, even for a brief cameo or minor supporting role. Recently, their partnership has intensified with the aforementioned "Air" and Ridley Scott's "The Last Duel," it's a shame they haven't found more films to work on together over the years, because these boys are wicked smaht.

To celebrate this long-running partnership, we decided...

Chicago – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Dan Baker for Wbgr-fm on January 30th, 2025, reviewing “Flight Risk,” featuring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery and Topher Grace, directed by Mel Gibson. In theaters since January 24th.

Michelle Dockery is Madolyn Harris, a Deputy U.S. Marshall, whose job it is to find Winston (Topher Grace of “That ‘70s Show”), an accountant for a mobster who seems connected to all corruption. Once Deputy Harris busts Winston on the run in Alaska, and convinces him to squeal on his boss, she has to escort via a rickety propeller plane over the mountains to Anchorage. It becomes apparent that the pilot (Mark Wahlberg), isn’t who he seems to be. Can Deputy Harris land the plane … with no training as a pilot … when it suddenly becomes pilotless?

“Flight Risk” is in theaters now (since January 17th). Featuring Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Dockery,...

For all the lil monsters in the world right now, Mama Monster has officially announced the coming of her seventh studio album. Now we can breathe easy, because anyone can admit it was a long time coming.

Lady Gaga’s New Album Will Mark the Iconic Singer’s Return To Pop Music

It was a lovely day to wake up to the news that Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated album finally has a release date.

So far, we’ve tasted “Disease” and her Bruno Mars collab “Die With A Smile,” which was so massively successful it’s still topping important charts to this very day. Obviously we want more, and mama knew that.

To keep the whole thing iconic and classy – it is Lady Gaga we’re talking about here after all – she made sure fans in New York City woke up to a black-and-white billboard with an over-the-top picture of her.

Mel Gibson went almost a decade without directing a movie after his war drama "Hacksaw Ridge" hit theaters in 2016. The actor-filmmaker, whose other directorial credits include "Braveheart" and "Apocalypto," has now ended his dry spell with the release of his new movie "Flight Risk." It's a very minimalistic, contained thriller that takes place on a tiny plane and centers almost entirely on just three actors for the majority of its runtime. However, some familiar voices also pop up along the way, particularly for those who are fans of a certain classic CBS sitcom.

Gibson, it needs to be mentioned, is a controversial figure who has been accused of antisemitism, in addition to having a battery charge against his ex-wife, which is largely why he doesn't work as much as he once did. But he still does, indeed, get work in Hollywood these days, as evidenced by this thriller, which is being released by Lionsgate.

The Mel Gibson-directed thriller “Flight Risk” opens in theaters Friday. The airplane drama takes thrills to new heights as Mark Wahlberg — who partially shaved his head for the role — stars as a pilot who’s transporting an Air Marshal and her fugitive but reveals his secret agenda mid-flight.

“Flight Risk” was written by Jared Rosenberg, directed and produced by Gibson, John Davis, John Fox and Bruce Davey.

See the details below for how to watch, and get ready to take flight.

Stars: Michelle Dockery, Topher Grace, Mark Wahlberg, Leah Remini, Paul Ben-Victor | Written by Jared Rosenberg | Directed by Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson returns to the director’s chair for the impressively economical single-location thriller Flight Risk. It’s undeniably trashy, thanks to an egregiously over-the-top performance by top-billed Mark Wahlberg, but it’s also surprisingly enjoyable.

In fairness, it’s not entirely a single-location thriller, as the film starts with fugitive mob accountant Winston (Topher Grace) being apprehended in his remote Alaska motel hide-out by Air Marshal Madolyn (Michelle Dockery), and offered a deal to testify against his boss in an ongoing trial. Winston takes the deal, and Madolyn charters a three-seater plane to fly him to New York, but her plan hits a snag when the pilot, Daryl (Mark Wahlberg) turns out to be a hired killer with orders to kill them both.

Given the fact that almost the entire...

Lionsgate’s advertising campaign for “Flight Risk” credits its latest film to “the award-winning director of ‘Braveheart,’ ‘Apocalypto’ and ‘Hacksaw Ridge’,” which seems a circumspect way of recognizing Mel Gibson as its helmer. Unfortunately, the movie’s problem is not that it lacks Gibson’s name, but his personality as a filmmaker. Reminding audiences of those very good pictures sets expectations way, way too high ahead of watching this cheap-looking, shoddily-made, lifeless thriller.

Working from a Black List darling of a script by up-and-comer Jared Rosenberg, Gibson recruits his “Father Stu” co-star Mark Wahlberg to play the villain in a containment thriller that doesn’t even need Academy Award-winning talent, just basic proficiency and a bit of finesse in order to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. What he instead delivers is a crude, unimaginative, suspenseless adventure whose tension mostly derives from deciding which of its three main...

Mel Gibson’s first directorial effort since 2016’s Hacksaw Ridge finds the new ambassador to Hollywood working on a distinctly more intimate scale than usual. The inside of a small Cessna plane, to be precise, which is where most of the action of Flight Risk takes place. Depicting the harrowing aerial journey of a deputy U.S. Marshall, her mob-connected witness, and a pilot who turns out to be a hit man, Flight Risk manages to deliver some high-altitude thrills in its breathlessly paced 91 minutes. But its clunky dialogue, uneven performances and less-than-grade-a special effects ultimately make it the Spirit Airlines of airborne thrillers.

The screenplay by Jared Rosenberg is nothing if not efficient, quickly establishing its premise when Deputy Marshall Madolyn (Michelle Dockery) and other officers burst into the tacky Alaskan motel room where mob accountant Winston (Topher Grace) is hiding after making the mistake of skimming millions from his boss.

When Sam Malone showed up to visit on the original Frasier, fans got a thrill seeing old-favorite characters reunite for a one-off episode. But several sitcoms have done those types of cameos one better, casting familiar costars as entirely new characters to add a dose of barely earned nostalgia. Sometimes the ploy works and sometimes it doesn’t, as you’ll see in these five examples of classic sitcom costars who reunited on new shows.

1 Kevin James and Leah Remini

When James tried to reboot his sitcom career with Kevin Can Wait, he soon discovered he didn’t have much chemistry with his new TV wife Erinn Hayes. With little thought to public reaction, James and his producers decided “Why not have Hayes’ character die — off camera — before we start a Season Two?” That’s just what they did, enlisting James’ former TV wife, King of Queens’ Remini, to rekindle some comedy sparks.

1 Leonardo DiCaprio

DiCaprio was earning movie accolades early in his career, still a teenager when he was Oscar-nominated for Who’s Eating Gilbert Grape? But does he get that role without his breakthrough as Luke Brower, the homeless kid who gets taken in by the Seavers on the ‘80s sitcom Growing Pains? TV mom Joanna Kerns remembers DiCaprio always messing around between takes. “He was totally mischievous,” she told The Independent. When Tobey Maguire, a member of DiCaprio’s infamous Pussy Posse, came around the set, “They looked like they were really up to no good.”

Audition tapes from The Office feature a virtual who’s who of 21st-century American comedy, with Seth Rogan, Adam Scott, Eric Stonestreet, John Cho, Bob Odenkirk, Kathryn Hahn, Judah Friedlander and Patton Oswalt all trying and failing to land a spot on the sitcom.

It’s a fascinating sliding-doors exercise — what if Odenkirk had been Michael Scott? — but The Office isn’t the only show for which famous comedy actors auditioned without success. Here are five more examples of TV stars who were in the wrong place at the wrong time…

Leah Remini has broken her silence around the death of Mike Rinder, a Scientology whistleblower who earned an Emmy for exposing the secret organization, and recently died.

“On Sunday, we lost a giant, and I lost a man who was more than a friend—he was family,” Remini said in an Instagram post on Tuesday. Remini and Rinder co-hosted the A&e docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath and the podcast Scientology: Fair Game as they exposed the organization.

The actress called Rinder her “trusted partner” in Scientology, to whom she turned when she herself left the secretive group in 2013.

“Mike saved my life and the life of my daughter and he stood by me through battles that felt insurmountable. I haven’t come to terms with the reality that I can’t call him and hear his voice anymore. I am shattered in ways I never thought possible. I...

Leah Remini is paying tribute to Mike Rinder, the co-host of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, who died on Sunday, January 5th at the age of 69. Together, the duo had helmed the A&e series which centered around their exit from the Church of Scientology. Rinder had been the former Church of Scientology International executive, while Remini had been one of the church’s more famous members. His death was announced by his wife Christie King Collbran who posted on Instagram, “Rest in peace, my sweet, beautiful husband. I speak for so many when I say the sadness and pain we feel mirror the depth of our unwavering love for you.” On Sunday, we lost a giant, and I lost a man who was more than a friend—he was my family. It’s impossible to imagine the last 13 years of my life without Mike Rinder. He was my anchor,...

Leah Remini is remembering her Scientology and the Aftermath co-host Mike Rinder with an emotional tribute. Rinder died Jan. 5 at the age of 69.

“On Sunday, we lost a giant, and I lost a man who was more than a friend—he was my family,” Remini wrote in a statement on social media. “It’s impossible to imagine the last 13 years of my life without Mike Rinder. He was my anchor, my trusted partner, and my closest confidant. The thought of moving forward without him feels unbearable.”

Remini and Rinder teamed on Scientology and the Aftermath, which ran for three seasons from 2016 to 2019. Rinder was nominated for two Emmys for his work, winning one.

“When I left Scientology, Mike was one of the first people I turned to. From that moment, he became my lifeline,” she continued. “Together, we embarked on an incredible journey that included The Aftermath and our podcast,...

Mike Rinder, the former Scientologist who helped expose the organization alongside Leah Remini, has died. He was 69 years old.

Rinder’s widow, Christie Collbran, shared the news on Instagram on Sunday, posting a photo of Rinder with his family and mourning his loss.

“Rest in peace, my sweet, beautiful husband. I speak for so many when I say the sadness and pain we feel mirror the depth of our unwavering love for you,” she wrote. “Your courage, bravery, and integrity are unmatched and will forever inspire us. You have been the pillar of stability in our lives, filling our days with your strength, wisdom, love, laughter and devotion. The world will remember you. My best friend, my hero, my love, Michael John Rinder.”

Additionally, Collbran included some last words from Rinder himself, noting that he requested she do so at his passing.

Mike Rinder, the former senior Scientologist who with fellow ex-member Leah Remini exposed the organization via a podcast and an Emmy-winning docuseries, has died. He was 69.

“This is the last post on this site. I have shuffled off this mortal coil in accordance with the immutable law that there are only two certainties in life: death and taxes,” Rinder wrote in a final post written on his personal blog. “My only real regret is not having achieved what I said I wanted to — ending the abuses of Scientology”

In June 2023, journalist and Scientology expert Tony Ortega had shared that Rinder had advanced esophageal cancer. On Sunday, Ortega wrote on X, “Mike Rinder sent us an email today, to let us know that he had shuffled off this mortal coil. That was so like him, thoughtful to the end. We’re just coming to grips with this news.”

Mike Rinder died at the age of 69 following a battle with cancer.

He was part of Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, serving as the actress’ co-host.

They quickly became more than just good friends; they were family.

With both being ex-communicated from Scientology, their experiences were similar — including the loss of family members and friends who remained in the religion.

He worked to expose Scientology in 2007 after being raised in the religion and being one of the top-ranking officials.

Unfortunately, his battle has ended; Mike has plenty of people who will continue to fight the battle against Scientology.

Mike Rinder’s wife shares his final words

Mike Rinder’s death didn’t come as a shock to those who knew and loved him. He had been open about his battle with cancer, and in recent weeks, things seemingly took a turn.

His wife, Christie, announced his passing on Instagram...

Mike Rinder, a former top-ranking Scientology executive-turned-whistleblower and co-host of A&e’s Emmy-winning docuseries Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, died January 5. He was 69. His wife Christie King Collbran posted the news on Instagram.

While no cause of death was listed, Rinder was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer in June 2023. However, in October of that year, the producer said he was deemed cancer-free.

“Rest in peace, my sweet, beautiful husband,” wrote Collbran, who was also raised in the Church of Scientology and recruited alongside Rinder to be a part of the Sea Org, an elite group of members who enforce the institution. “I speak for so many when I say the sadness and pain we feel mirror the depth of our unwavering love for you. Your courage, bravery, and integrity are unmatched and will forever inspire us. You have been the pillar of stability in our lives, filling our days with your strength,...

Actor Leah Remini only has one child in Sofia Bella Pagan. But there was a point in time when she briefly entertained the idea of bringing home even more kids. However, Sofia wasn’t too keen on the idea.

For Remini, having one child was enough of a handful. She gave birth to Sofia in 2004, while she was still married to her ex-husband Angelo Pagan. As is the case with many first time parents, raising Sofia took some adjusting to in the beginning stages. One of the things Remini had to learn to deal with was her daughter’s bossy behavior. The actor had an entire morning routine she had to follow to accommodate Sofia’s needs.

“It starts with her waking up,” Remini once said in an interview with Us Weekly.

Lopez had high hopes for all of her past relationships. But at one point, she was so smitten by Alex Rodriguez that she considered him a cut above the rest. The Hustlers star began dating Rodriguez in 2017, although she first met him in 2005. Rodriguez gave Lopez everything she was looking for in a partner, so much so that he initially seemed too good to be true. But after Rodriguez proved himself to Lopez, she accepted his proposal for marriage in 2019. In an interview with Sirius Xm, Lopez shared how similarities, such as their work ethic, made them a good match.

In the early 1990s, the programming wizards at NBC realized they might be leaving advertising dollars on the table by not providing adolescents a Saturday morning entertainment bridge from cartoons to live-action sitcoms that reflected, in that garish sitcom way, their middle to high school lives. The only serious counter-programming threat in these hours was "Yo, MTV Raps!," so for kids who were more into bubblegum pop than hard-hitting rhymes, there was a demand not being met. And thus the Tnbc block was born.

The linchpin of the Tnbc block early in its heyday was "Saved by the Bell." What began as a spinoff of "Good Morning, Miss Bliss" -- which started on NBC before moving to The Disney Channel -- became a Saturday morning mainstay for both kids looking to do a whole lot of nothing on their morning off from school and hungover adults who knew better but...

Sheryl Underwood, Amanda Kloots, Jerry O’Connell, Akbar Gbaja-Biamila and Natalie Morales bid farewell to “The Talk” on Friday as the CBS daytime show aired its series finale after 15 seasons.

Kloots, in particular, found herself tearing up over the emotional episode, as she offered a message to their loyal audience through tears.

“I live with a child, you know, so coming here every day and being able to talk to five, or four people, obviously — five, I’ll include you guys [the audience], cause you’re a part of it — about really fun, silly topics to important topics, but to be able to talk … I’m so grateful for that,” she shared. “I think we can’t forget that. Listen to each other, talk to one another, don’t fight with each other, really appreciate each other’s opinions, because that’s what we got to do everyday. And it was so beautiful.

After 15 seasons (“2,993 episodes to be exact,” according to co-host Natalie Morales), CBS aired its final episode of The Talk on Friday, and the gang did not go quietly.

Amanda Kloots, who became a co-host in 2021 when The Talk was still being done over Zoom, was the first to break down as she reflected on what the show — specifically its title — has meant to her over the years.

“The Talk” executive producer Rob Crabbe is getting a little too familiar with TV goodbyes. A year and a half after his previous talker, “The Late Late Show With James Corden,” signed off, he’s now doing the same thing on Friday with “The Talk.”

It’s a different kind of show, and therefore a different kind of goodbye. But still, there are similarities to the sign-off. “The emotional undercurrent of what the shows were trying to accomplish is the same,” Crabbe told Variety. “You’re trying to express joyfulness. You’re trying to make people feel something. And with ‘The Talk,’ we’re giving everybody a little break in their day, the routine of it. This is a respite in your day, where you can come and laugh and watch five people that really like each other have a really good time on television. That emotional currency will be...

After a 15-year run and nearly 3,000 episodes, The Talk is coming to an end on Friday, December 20. The CBS talk show, which served as a great vehicle to promote the network’s lineup and often shined a spotlight on soaps and daytime alumni, began in 2010 following the cancellation of beloved series As the World Turns. The Daytime Emmy-winning program had a very different panel than the one today that’s comprised of Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell, and Sheryl Underwood. When the show began, the show’s panel consisted of Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete, Sharon Osbourne, Sara Gilbert (who co-created the program and served as executive producer), and Leah Remini. Melissa Jaret Winokur was a special correspondent. Robinson Peete, Remini, and Winokur were all gone by Season 2. That’s when Underwood and Aisha Tyler were added to the panel.

Plenty of comedy stars have popped in for a cameo when their old sitcom costars get a new gig — think Cheers’ Ted Danson visiting the original Frasier or most of the Community cast stopping by Ken Jeong’s Dr. Ken. But some sitcom stars have such amazing chemistry that they need to keep a good thing going.

Here are five pairs of funny people who costarred together in multiple sitcoms…

1 Danny McBride and Walton Goggins

McBride and Goggins headlined Vice Principals as competing a-holes vying to rule the school via promotion to the top job. When McBride went on to create The Righteous Gemstones for HBO, he again enlisted Goggins as a failed child star who once headlined a gospel song-and-dance team. Goggins told Conan O’Brien that McBride “is the funniest person I have ever met in my life.” The two even teamed to desecrate the reputations of Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar.

Jerry Seinfeld is as successful as a comic can get. The actor has had a show named after him and starred in several more iconic projects over the years. Through Seinfeld, he became the lead star in one of the most iconic comedy shows of all time, and his stand-up has only added to his acclaim.

However, like most comics, his fans do not know much about his personal life. With this, many would be surprised to know that the comedian was also a follower of the Church of Scientology. While many would look at this as a bad thing, his perspective on the same showcases exactly why fans love him as much as they do.

“The Talk” is officially ending on Friday, Dec. 20, CBS said on Tuesday. The long-running talk show, modeled on a format made popular by ABC’s “The View,” had been renewed earlier this year for an abbreviated 15th and final season.

Created by former “Roseanne” actor Sara Gilbert, “The Talk” first premiered in 2010, with Gilbert hosting for the first nine seasons alongside original hosts Julie Chen Moonves, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Janet Winokur.

The show’s final season has been hosted by Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood; all five have been co-hosts since 2021.

Fans can probably expect a few surprises during the show’s final few weeks; in a joint statement earlier this year, CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach and CBS Studios president David Stapf said the network will “plan to celebrate the show and give it the proper sendoff...

Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan have finalized their divorce just a few months after announcing their split. While Remini’s former best friend, Jennifer Lopez, is still ironing out the details of her divorce from Ben Affleck, Remini and Pagan have worked everything out. Their divorce is apparently so amicable that they are still spending every weekend together. In a recent Instagram clip, Pagan explained that he and his former love are keeping one of their traditions alive despite their divorce, and it requires them to spend most Sundays together.

Angelo Pagan revealed he still spends most weekends with Leah Remini

Pagan recently took to Instagram to reveal that he and Remini still spend most Sundays together watching the Dallas Cowboys play.

Now that it has been almost two decades since Dancing with the Stars premiered, the beloved reality show has been at the center of many headlines. There have been headlines about Lea Thompson's comments about Artem Chigvintsev, the reaction to Anna Delvey's comment, and celebrities who didn't like their time on the show. Fans have also learned about Nikki "Bella" Garcia's restraining order against Artem, how much the stars get paid, and rumors that Anna Delvey was banned from the reunion.

While the latest DWTS headlines are fascinating, many of the show's biggest fans love learning interesting facts about the show. A perfect example of that is the fact that Ezra Sosa's breakout year is the latest example of famous dancing families dominating Dancing with the Stars.

Tom Cruise has been an integral part of the Hollywood machine, propelling it from the infancy of 21st-century espionage thrillers to heights never achieved before.

However, separating art from the artist is a thing of the past, and for Tom Cruise, popular culture’s fondness for dissecting art with moral, political, and social implications bears a heavy price. His stardom and status may amass billions of fans and impress the studio execs with box office earnings, but there might be someone who refuses to be swayed by all the hype and ruckus.

Tom Cruise’s affiliation with Scientology has raised numerous headlines over the years. Ever since the Church has come under intense public scrutiny for its controversies, Cruise’s association with the organization has been criticized by many fans. However, the Mission Impossible star admitted that Scientology is the primary reason for his highly successful career.

Exclusive: The Jim Henson Company is not selling its historic La Brea Avenue located studio lot to the Church of Scientology.

Despite reports in the Rupert Murdoch-owned New York Post and other outlets that the Henson family was unloading the 1917 lot originally known as the Charlie Chaplin Studios, the estate was very specific today that the lot would not be joining Scientology’s extensive real estate portfolio any time soon

A spokesperson for the Jim Henson family said: “In regards to recent rumors about the sale of the La Brea studio lot, the Henson family is not in any business dealings with the Church of Scientology, and that organization is not in consideration as a potential buyer of the property.

Who’s the Boss? is a classic sitcom that lasted for eight seasons, from 1984 to 1992. There had been interest in bringing back the characters with a new sequel series. However, the production has just received an important update. Interestingly enough, there had been other attempts to give the series a spin-off over the years.

The Project Had Been In Development Since 2020

Alyssa Milano played Tony’s daughter Samantha while Danny Pintauro played Angela’s son Jonathan. Katherine Helmond also played Angela’s mother Mona, who many fans joked was the real “boss” of the show.

Back in 2018, Justin Bieber made headlines for tearing up while addressing then-18-year-old Billie Eilish’s rise to fame and how he wanted to protect her in the industry. Although fans weren’t previously bothered by Bieber’s concerns for Eilish—in recent times, following the heartbreaking revelations resurfacing about the Baby singer—netizens believe there is a good reason why he got emotional while discussing Eilish’s career.

Throughout Dancing with the Stars‘ history, many superstar celebrities have attempted to win a Mirrorball trophy. Some were, at the beginning, the pinnacle or trying to revive their careers.

Jennifer Lopez might be one of the biggest, most successful pop sensations in the world. However, the singer has not had the best luck in her personal life.

Talk shows are a fickle business. There have been hundreds of talk shows throughout the history of television, and only a select few connect on such a profound level that they stick around. It's almost unheard of to go more than a few years on the air, let alone pull a Johnny Carson or David Letterman and stick around for decades.

The longevity guys will be saved for another list, though. This list is for the celebrities who didn't get a chance to get settled in their talk show gigs, or even leave on their own terms. We're talking about the controversial ones, the ones who were undone by personal scandals and off-screen antics. Let's begin, shall we?
