While Frankie Muniz is remaining tight-lipped about the forthcoming Malcolm in the Middle reboot, the actor-turned NASCAR driver teased the four-episode revival will be “pretty shocking” to audiences.
In a recent appearance on the Lightweights Podcast with Joe Vulpis, Muniz previewed that fans of the aughts-era sitcom can expect “closure” for the eponymous genius teen, who spent seven seasons trying to come of age in a chaotic household full of loud and oft-dimwitted grown-ups and siblings.
“I think people will be surprised, in a sense, where everybody is and the story. But it’s only four episodes,” Muniz said, adding that the initial idea for a revival — gestating for a decade along with co-star Bryan Cranston — was a two-hour film. “It’s hard to fit in 20 years of stuff in four 30-minute episodes, right? But I think people are going to be very happy with what they came up with.

Frankie Muniz is teasing the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle reboot, which he called “the best time of my entire life” to film.
The actor and now professional racing driver recently appeared on the Lightweights Podcast with Joe Vulpis, where he opened up about reuniting with Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek for the sitcom’s revival, titled Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair, which is set to follow a now-adult Malcolm (Muniz) and his family.
“I’m not exaggerating when I say filming this reboot, like I loved it so much, way more than I ever thought I could have,” he said. “We ended in May, and I haven’t talked to anybody since, you know what I mean? I’ve been gone. I’ve only been home, I think, for 12 days since the beginning of the year. I’m just always crazy, and I think next week, I’m going to have time.

Scott Porter is speaking out about that controversial Ginny & Georgia scene from season three.
If you didn’t see, at the end of the season, Paul and Georgia get in a huge fight and he ends up slamming his first against a cabinet, inches from her face. This triggered a Ptsd moment for her, as she had been the survivor of abuse.

Scott shared that Paul’s reaction “was correct” but the way he went about showing his anger was “wrong.”
“The physical action of hitting a cabinet out of frustration — and you can see it immediately in his eyes — [invokes] immediate regret because he knows what that means to her,” Scott shared in an interview posted to TikTok with Joe Vulpis. “He knows what it did to her and he didn’t do it purposefully. It was something that he wished he could take back.

When you talk about Women’s wrestling, there is no way you can leave out Paige. Very few WWE stars had such a rapid ascent in the promotion as she did.
Paige started her journey by becoming the WWE Divas champion on her debut at Raw after WrestleMania 30. After the initial success, she didn’t just sit around, Paige went on to join the famous reality show WWE Total Divas.

It is almost impossible to think of Dancing With The Stars without thinking of longtime pro Val Chmerkovskiy, with his whole entire family looped into the show we know and love.
After all, his brother, Maks Chmerkovskiy, and his wife, Jenna Johnson, are – or should we say were? – also DWTS pros.
For those who are unfamiliar, Val has been a pro on Dancing With The Stars since Season 13 — only taking a break during Season 26 — and he has secured the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy on three separate occasions: During Season 20 with Rumer Willis, Season 23 with Laurie Hernandez, and Season 32 with Xochitl Gomez.
When failing to emerge victorious, the 38-year-old has placed in the top three on numerous occasions as well, with partners like Zendaya, Gabby Windey, Kelly Monaco, Janel Parrish, Ginger Zee, and more.
With a track record like this one, some may say he is the best of the best.

Professional dancer Val Chmerkovskiy might have several Mirrorball Trophies at home. However, he recently admitted he had a major learning curve when he first joined the show.
Over time, the Chmerkovskiy brothers established a strong name and reputation for themselves in the ballroom dance community. However, being an excellent dancer doesn’t always mean they’ll win Dancing With The Stars.
See what Val had to say about his first major losses on the show and how they helped him grow.

Val Chmerkovskiy had to experience some early humbling during his career on Dancing with the Stars.
The 38-year-old professional dancer is Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s brother and began appearing on the show in various capacities in Season 2.
Val officially joined ABC’s competition series as a pro dancer in 2011’s Season 13 alongside model Elisabetta Canalis.
However, he entered the competition thinking he was above the others and had an early exit that season.
It took him until his eighth season to finally succeed, as he and Rumer Willis won the Mirrorball Trophy in Season 20.
Since then, he’s won it twice more and said some early growing pains helped him develop into the professional he is on the show.

Dancing With the Stars' devoted fans were elated to see veteran dancer Mark Ballas back on the show for Season 33. However, Mark didn't return as a pro dancer, but was given a seat on the judges' panel as a guest judge for the very first time. Mark's performance as a judge was well-received.
Mark returned to perform alongside pro-turned-judge Derek Hough during the season finale. They wowed both the live audience and viewers at home with their Argentine Tango. It was also amazing to see Mark on the ballroom floor. The DWTS alum has performed for 20 seasons, but fans will recall that he took a lengthy hiatus after he competed in Season 25. He wouldn't return until Season 31, which ended up being his very last.

Dancing With the Stars sees one or two showmances season after season. However, Season 33 might have been the most talked about when it comes to romances between a professional dancer and their celebrity partner. Viewers watched and got confused about the on-again, off-again relationship between pro Gleb Savchenko and model Brooks Nader, and the possible romantic pairing that was Sasha Farber and Jenn Tran, that still remains a mystery as of this writing.
There's no doubt that chemistry is a must when it comes to getting far on DWTS. And, that intense chemistry has sometimes resulted in some couples becoming more than just dance partners. However, for pro Val Chmerkovskiy, seeing a pro and their celeb partner develop something more is "incredibly unprofessional" in his eyes, especially if it isn't "authentic."
Val has had his fair share of showmances during his lengthy career with DWTS, so he's not really one to talk.

They weren't lying when they said Dancing With The Stars is one big, happy family.
It is clear that the cast of the beloved competition series is incredibly close with one another, with some of the show's pros having danced with one another since they were children.
Some of them are so close, they've even fallen in love, such as Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov and Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy (just to name a few).
Two pros who have developed quite the bond are Lindsay Arnold and Sasha Farber.
Where did this bond come from, though? Waterparks.
For those who are unfamiliar, Lindsay was a pro on Dancing With The Stars for 10 seasons — winning the coveted Mirrorball Trophy once alongside actor Jordan Fisher — before stepping away from the spotlight to start a family.

Season 33 of Dancing With The Stars drew to a close just before Thanksgiving, and pro Val Chmerkovskiy recently and candidly spoke about something that seems to come to issue each and every season, "showmances."
Showmances are a broader entertainment and reality TV phenomenon, a portmanteau which is kind of self-explanatory — it refers to a romantic relationship between two cast members of a show, whether authentic and sincere or feigned for the cameras to drive audience interest.
DWTS' structure pairs "pros" with celebrities for the season, and that necessarily close-knit setting is such that this particular show appears to generate a higher than average number of showmances, such as Season 33's "will they or won't they" chemistry between Jenn Tran and Sasha Farber.
Then there are Dancing With The Stars showmances gone awry — former pro Artem Chigvintsev wed former contestant Nikki Garcia, and the couple's marriage fell apart explosively in late August.

Then there are Dancing With The Stars showmances gone awry — former pro Artem Chigvintsev wed former contestant Nikki Garcia, and the couple's marriage fell apart explosively in late August.

The Bachelor season 28's Joey Graziadei has been competing on Dancing With The Stars, and his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, has been accused of jealousy. Though Kelsey has denied speculation about her alleged envy, she recently made a move designed to let everyone know that Joey is her man. 28-year-old Joey made his television debut during Charity Lawson's season of The Bachelorette. Though Joey made it to the final two, Charity gave her final rose to someone else, sending Joey home brokenhearted. He was devastated, but the tennis pro from Hawaii wouldn't be down for long.
Joey was then cast as The Bachelor, greeting the 32 single women at the iconic Bachelor mansion, including 25-year-old Kelsey. Despite the show's editors doing everything in their power to make it look like Kelsey had competition from other women, it was pretty clear from the beginning that Joey liked Kelsey best.

Season 33 of Dancing with the Stars is probably one of the most talked about seasons of the showfrom eliminated fraudster Anna Delvey, who's reportedly banned from the reunion, to former pro dancer, Artem Chigvintsev's domestic abuse arrest. But on a lighter note, there's also some romance shipping, with fans linking Stephen Nedoroscik to Rylee Arnold, who struggles with diabetes.
The thing is, the two can't really date as the Olympian is already in a relationship. But for die-hard shippers, there's Bachelorette 21, Jenn Tran, who might actually be dating her dance partner, Sasha Farber. Here's why fans should be focusing on this couple instead of Stephen and Rylee's innocent stage chemistry.

Dancing With The Stars Season 33 had viewers divided about its star-studded cast, which includes viral athletes from the 2024 Paris Olympics and even a fake heiress and swindler, Anna Delvey. Over two years since Inventing Anna premiered on Netflix, the German ex-con is now on a mission to rebrand as a dancer and reality TV star.
Some think it's "iconic" for Anna to compete on the show, bedazzled ankle monitor and all. But others, including Whoopi Goldberg, are frustrated about Anna's new gig. Regardless of the criticism, her dance partner, Ezra Sosa, said he was "excited" about working with the controversial figure. The dancer was even impressed by the scammer-turned-painter's work ethic.

Steve Carell’s The Office made generations of fans laugh with their simplistic but funniest portrayal of a paper company in Scranton. Neither Michael Scott nor his staff were the normal kind of office people, but the series tried to maintain the authenticity of the setting.
The Office creators resorted to one simple way to ensure this during the first few seasons. They didn’t allow any of the hair and makeup artists on the set as they wanted the actors to be in their authentic office worker roles.
