Kelly Clarkson made history in 2002 by becoming the first-ever winner of American Idol. She is also considered amongst the most popular winners of the show.

After appearing in the first two seasons of And Just Like That..., comedian and actor Bobby Lee did not return for the show's third season. As for why he was apparently left out of Season 3, Lee suggested that it was because his presence was making the series a bit too "woke."

Lee discussed his exclusion from Season 3 in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. He shared his belief that there had been a change in direction for Season 3 to have fewer minorities, pointing to how Sara Ramirez had also left the show after Season 2. Ramirez, a Mexican-American, played Che Diaz, a non-binary love interest for Miranda (Cynthia Nixon).

"Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that," Lee, who is of Korean descent, explained to EW at San Diego Comic-Con. "I think Sara [Ramirez] didn't come back and some other people.

Lieutenant Columbo (Peter Falk) had many mysteries throughout his long-running TV series. For one, he made frequent allusions to "The Missus," his wife, an off-screen character whom the detective claimed to make certain demands of him as a husband. He never referred to his wife by her name, though, and he didn't wear a wedding ring. This led some "Columbo" fans to assume that she was a fabrication that Columbo had invented to appear more personable. The assumption, however, was laid to rest when other characters reported talking to Mrs. Columbo. She was real. Indeed, Kate Mulgrew played Mrs. Columbo in a short-lived spinoff series called "Mrs. Columbo." That series, however, tried to cut its ties with "Columbo," leaving its canon status in doubt.

Another one of Columbo's mysteries was his first name. He only ever introduced himself by his last name as, as a cop, so did everyone else.

Nashville was once famously called a ‘ten year town,’ because that’s about how long an artist has to make it there. Maggie Rose has been at it longer than that. Along the way, she struggled to break through in mainstream country music by submitting herself to the machine: playing CMA Fest in the midday summer sun, visiting countless radio stations, and releasing country singles that went nowhere.

Finally, she had enough. In 2018, with her aptly titled LP Change the Whole Thing, Rose threw up her hands and began making...

Ariana DeBose is one of the biggest breakout stars of this awards season thanks to her performance in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.” The actress has scored nominations left and right for the musical, and she’s hoping that the Screen Actors Guild Awards will mark her first televised victory.

DeBose is a first-time SAG Award nominee. After working in the theater world for years, she piqued audiences’ interests when she was featured as “The Bullet” in the Broadway sensation “Hamilton.” She followed up that performance by embodying disco icon Donna Summer in “Summer,” which led to a Tony nomination. Hollywood scooped her up thereafter, and DeBose showed off impressive vocals in “The Prom” before nabbing the coveted role of Anita in this “West Side Story” adaptation.

DeBose has plenty of opportunities in the film to showcase her range of talents. She leads one of the musical’s biggest crowd-pleasers,...

Netflix have been making some serious inroads into the blockbuster game in recent years, with Michael Bay’s $150 million 6 Underground replicating the action auteur’s typical formula of mixed reviews and huge audiences, while Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction recently debuted on the streaming service to a hugely positive reception. Not ones for resting on their laurels when it comes to creating new content though, Netflix have also appeared to strike up a working relationship with the world’s biggest movie star.
