Hulu on Thursday dropped a fresh “IMPACTxNightline” episode titled “IMPACTxNightline: “What’s Happening with Wendy Williams?” where the beleaguered former talk show host discusses her court-appointed guardianship, her dementia diagnosis and living in the memory unit of a healthcare facility.

Produced by ABC News Studios, the episode is led by “Nightline” co-anchor Byron Pitts and features a new audio interview with Wendy Williams, and interviews with those close to her, including her brother, Tommy Williams, and her friends Sunny Hostin, a former federal prosecutor and co-host of “The View,” and Jason Lee, CEO of Hollywood Unlocked.

Additional interviews include Henry Brown, Wendy Williams’ former colleague at Kiss FM 98.7; Janine Rubenstein, editor-at-large, People magazine; Dr. Leah Croll, neurologist; Kelley Carter, senior entertainment reporter, Andscape; and Brian Buckmire, ABC News legal contributor.

According to a logline, Wendy Williams has broken her silence on her guardianship, challenging her dementia diagnosis and pleading for her independence.

In the market of live-service gaming, few things spread faster than a good leak. Just ask the Dead by Daylight team, who recently watched their surprise announcement—the return of their massively successful 2v8 event—to get datamined and spread across the internet faster than a Nurse with maximum Blink charges.

The relationship between developers and dataminers has always been complicated, like a toxic romance where one party keeps reading the other’s diary. But as these digital detectives continue to unearth hidden treasures from game files, we’re left wondering whether these premature discoveries are helping or hurting the games we love.

For some studios, leaks have become an unofficial marketing strategy, driving engagement and speculation. For others, like Dead by Daylight’s dev team, it’s a frustrating violation of their well-thought-out reveal plans. And...

And with 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 12, we have the end of an era.

What is there to say about 9-1-1: Lone Star‘s big series finale? They opted to rip our hearts out, psych us out, and then wrap things up happily for everyone we know and love.

Some characters got some sweet endings, while others simply coasted to the end, and the 126 lives forever.

(Kevin Estrada/Fox) The Series Finale Highlights Where the Season Went Wrong

I don’t even know how to review this hour for you all because I’ve been at a loss for words for how we started the season and its evolution since then.

We’re coming off a particularly bleak and rough penultimate hour with 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 11, leaving many of us under the impression that Tommy had succumbed to her cancer alone.

Everyone’s buzzing about Beyond the Gates’ debut on CBS in late February, and there’s more exciting news to share.

A special panel event has been scheduled to celebrate the soap’s groundbreaking premiere, which will take place four days before the daytime drama airs its first episode. More details on this, below.

Beyond the Gates’ Special Panel Being Held At The Paley Museum In New York City

As per the Paley Center’s website, the mission for media events such as this one is to, “preserve our media history and explore media’s powerful shaping influence on our culture and society.”

One way to do this is through informative, yet fun, panels, showcasing television shows in the streaming, primetime, and daytime platforms.

This makes it that much more special that Beyond the Gates will get acknowledged by Paley when Executive Producer and President of the CBS/NAACP production,...

The huge question going into Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star season five episode 12 is will all the characters fans have grown to know and love survive. Could someone be killed off in episode 12, the series finale? Rob Lowe spoke to Entertainment Weekly about that possibility but didn’t give away any spoilers.

“Is there a world where Owen dies heroically? Does he live, does he not? And same for everybody else,” said Lowe. “This is a show where it’s totally organic on any given day that any one of these characters could have something really bad happen to them. I mean, that’s not pushed reality — it’s the reality of what first responders go through. So we were debating, ‘Do we want to push that button…...

You know how it goes: There's so much television and so little time. Most of us have lately become much more in tune with streaming services and their original series, but there are still so many amazing new and returning shows on the small screen. Don't be afraid to sprinkle in some favorites from the broadcast networks into your binge-watches every now and then.

Thankfully, so many TV shows have next-day streaming homes to make it easy for viewers to watch on their favorite streamer rather than tuning in on the night. Whether it's ABC shows, CBS shows, or NBC shows, they fit right in on your watch list. Fox has some great new episodes to watch, including a soon-departing veteran, a new medical drama, a new comedy, and a freshman procedural.

The following contains spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5, Episode 11, "Impact," which premiered Monday, Jan. 27 on Fox.

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5, Episode 11, "Impact" makes the long-awaited apocalypse not a big deal. Granted, the dedicated newscaster reporting on the asteroid hitting Earth is despondent about the possibility of humanity's extinction until the very end. But otherwise, it's just another day for the 126 crew.

The series should be commended for trying to go big in its final two episodes. Not every TV procedural can say it's tried to end the world. However, when a show promises something literally earth-shattering, it has to deliver with at least half the effort. Sadly, 9-1-1: Lone Star botches the most integral part of a world-ending scenario -- in favor of personal drama that will have no lasting effect.

9-1-1: Lone Star Fumbles the Apocalypse An Asteroid Is Just...

While we’re not sure who will survive in “apocalyptic” series finale of “9-1-1: Lone Star,” which will follows as an asteroid hurtles towards Austin, Texas, the two-episode arc for Brian Michael Smith’s trans character Paul Strickland will fulfill a promise made all the way back in the pilot for the Fox spinoff series.

Ahead of the two-part finale, which begins Monday, Jan. 27, showrunner Rashad Raisani told TheWrap how the show comes full circle from the conversation Owen Strand (Rob Lowe) had in the very first episode when he recruited Paul to Station 126: That a fellow trans person could see him as a role model.

Watch an exclusive clip from the episode below:

“Brian Smith, who’s a trans man, his character is obviously fundamental to the show. He came to me and said, ‘Hey, if you look at the pilot of ‘Lone Star,’ Rob Lowe, has a...

It is a truth universally acknowledged that every good network drama must kill off at least one fan-favorite character in an extremely bleak, cry-until-you're-dehydrated way at least once every few seasons. When it comes to "Chicago Fire," one of the biggest major character deaths came in the very first moments of season 8, which claimed the life of Brian "Otis" Zvonecek.

Judging by the heaps of online comments memorializing Otis like he's a real person, the character who was with Truck 81 since the show's pilot is perhaps the most beloved "Chicago Fire" character ever. The child of Russian immigrants was funny and sometimes underestimated, and he worked his way up to a much-coveted engineer position over time. He also had deep ties to plenty of other key characters, so when the powers that be decided "Chicago Fire" needed to up the ante with real, deadly stakes, Otis ended up biting the dust.

Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star season five episode 11 reflects the state of the world right now, with an impending asteroid crash just one of the many emergencies The 126 is juggling. Episode 11, “Impact,” will air on Monday, January 27, 2025 at 8pm Et/Pt.

Rob Lowe leads the cast as Captain Owen Strand, Ronen Rubinstein stars as T.K., Gina Torres plays Paramedic Captain Tommy Vega, and Jim Parrack is Judd Ryder. Natacha Karam plays Marjan Marwani, Brian Michael Smith is Paul Strickland, Julian Works is Mateo Chavez, Rafael Silva plays Carlos Reyes, and Brianna Baker is Nancy Gillian. Sierra McClain did not return for the fifth season.

In the penultimate episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star, the future is not looking bright. A city-wide alert reveals that an asteroid is heading for Austin and will make impact in one hour. With the apocalypse staring down the city's inhabitants, chaos ensues as everyone tries to save their own skin. A sneak peek of 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5, Episode 12, "Impact," previews people's actions when they think they have one hour to live. The masses panic and try to do what they would want to do with their last hour on earth but Station 126 has a duty when emergencies start to multiply.

From Fate/Stay Night to Demon Slayer, Ufotable has produced some of the most high-end anime in the industry. As an esteemed studio, it has earned accolades and awards for its brilliant and impeccable animation.

On top of that, it has set a precedent for other animation studios in more ways than one. But most specifically, it pertains to its finesse and quality, which could amp up Genshin Impact anime. But there’s a caveat to that as well.

Of late, the U.S.A.’s TikTok ban has inversely affected the gaming industry. This also applies to HoYoverse games whose demographic is severely affected by this decision. Nevertheless, it had gamers foaming at the mouth on the Internet.

But what’s even worse is that it would negatively affect the animation studio. Its animated adaptation of the HoYo game would add...

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit –Pictured: Peter Scanavino as A.D.A Dominick “Sonny” Carisi Jr. — (Photo by: Scott Gries/NBC) Copyright 2024 NBCUniversal Media, LLC In today’s television landscape, it’s rare to find a show, especially on broadcast television, that can truly make a life-changing impact. Yet, for 24 seasons, Law & Order: Svu has been doing just that. This groundbreaking series has fearlessly advocated for victims’ rights, addressed critical issues like the backlog of untested rape kits, and sparked countless conversations about sexual assault and domestic violence. For Peter Scanavino, who plays Dominick “Sonny” Carisi Jr., the show’s dedicated Ada, the show’s impact is deeply personal. He recognizes that being part of such a powerful and long-running series comes with a unique sense of responsibility.

There are mentions of a new battle event in Genshin Impact 5.4 leaks and, while combat-focused events are quite frequent in the action RPG by HoYoverse, this feels like the best update in the game in quite some time. At the moment, the title is at the start of Version 5.3, an important patch that brought forth the final Natlan Archon Quests and introduced four new playable characters. The update is also going to host the annual Lantern Rite Festival, which will be somewhat accompanied by the release of the Liyue character Lan Yan in Genshin Impact.

Even with the attention turned toward the currently available content, some of it is shifting toward the next patch as the Version 5.4 beta tests have commenced. With the tests already happening, a lot of information about the upcoming patch is starting to leak. This includes details about the rumored character Yumemizuki Mizuki, as well as...

The predicted amount of Primogems in Genshin Impact 5.3 has leaked, indicating just how much of the precious resource players will be able to obtain during the action RPG’s next update, both in F2P (free-to-play) ways and with premium subscriptions. Version 5.3 is the next big patch in HoYoverse’s game, and it should add the final Natlan Archon Quests, as well as four new playable characters. One of them will be made available for all players, as it is the Pyro Traveler, while the new units in banners are Lan Yan, Citlali, and Mavuika in Genshin Impact.

To obtain most of these characters, players will need a large sum of Primogems, especially Citlali and Mavuika because they are 5-star units. Lan Yan is a 4-star character who will be obtainable for free via the Lantern Rite event in Version 5.3, should players desire to. Because 5-stars are hard to obtain...

Hisoka is probably one of the most disputed antagonists in Yoshihiro Togashi’s series, Hunter x Hunter. The character’s borderline perverseness is enough to tip off the fans. More often than not, the series leans toward disturbing and unsettling themes, including trauma and loss.

Its portrayal of human relationships and its complexities makes it a class apart from other series in the genre. However, it is this very aspect that threw a spanner in the works of its popularity.

The series faced a major blow with its censorship in Australia. Following its ban, fans had an array of responses to the news. Not the gore or profanity but an iconic villain had to do with the series’ crackdown.

Interestingly, it also raises concerns regarding the representation of perverseness in the series. While the character is an iconic antagonist,...

Just as fans were about to give up hope of the project ever seeing the light of day, Genshin Impact's anime has received an update at long last, reassuring fans that the anime is still very much in the works. First announced back in 2022, HoYoverse and Ufotable have been largely silent regarding the Genshin Impact anime ever since but a recent job listing suggests the project is finally moving forward.

Keen-eyed fans of the popular gacha game recently noticed that HoYoverse, the developers of Genshin Impact, recently posted a job opening for a screenwriter for the Genshin anime, proving that the project has not been abandoned despite the lack of updates and is slowly but surely progressing. The listing mentions that the role involves supervising the script for the "Genshin animation project" with the Japanese language requirements confirming this is the same anime in collaboration with Ufotable. That said, HoYoverse...

One of my favorite characters in Genshin Impact may finally get a skin, and Im particularly excited about the prospect of finally seeing a skin in action regularly in most of my team comps. Skins, officially known as Character Outfits, have been in the game for a while now. The first skins, for Barbara and Jean, were first released in Version 1.6. Since then, developer HoYoverse has consistently released several Outfits for many of its characters, allowing players to customize their units with unique fashion styles, such as the beautiful Ganyu and Shenhe skins in Genshin Impact.

The developer usually releases multiple skins in a single patch. One of the skins is usually for a 4-star character, while the others are for 5-star units. During the update in which they are released, the skin for the 4-star character is available for free via the flagship event, while the Character Outfit for...

And new reports suggest that their special bond has grown even stronger since Bullock lost her partner Bryan Randall, who she was with for eight years, passed away in August 2023 after a secret three-year battle with Als.

It doesn’t seem that Ryan Reynolds can do anything wrong, whether it be putting the MCU back on the map with one of the biggest hits of the year or being a shrewd businessman.

Update: Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón is planning to make a decision about the fate of the Menendez brothers and their possible early release very soon

“There’s actually two different camps in my office,” Gascón told CNN (via Deadline). “I have a group of people, including some that were involved in the original trial, that are adamant that they should spend the rest of their life in prison and that they were not molested. I have other people in the office that believe actually, that they probably were molested and that they deserve to have some relief… I plan to have a decision by the end of this week.“

Despite his waffling press conference this month, the fate and freedom of the long-imprisoned Menendez brothers might already have been decided by the Los Angeles County District Attorney.

In the midst of a tough re-election campaign that has Da George Gascón trailing by double digits, the prosecutor has offered his strongest opinion yet on the siblings’ murder case. It’s a point of view that might be music to the ears of Menendez family members gathering today in the City of Angels to advocate for Lyle and Erik Menendez’s early release.

The subject of media frenzy at the time, the brothers were convicted in a second trial in 1996 of first-degree murder for the 1989 shooting of their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez in their Beverly Hills mansion. After going on an ostentatious spending spree before being arrest, now 56-year old Lyle and 53-year old Erik were sentenced to two consecutive...

A disappointing ability in Chascas gameplay kit for Genshin Impact 5.2 has leaked, indicating that one of her key features may not work as originally speculated. Chasca is confirmed to be one of the new playable characters arriving in HoYoverses action RPG with the next major update alongside Ororon. Her dedicated banner will likely run alongside several older rerun characters, as hinted at by the leaked Genshin Impact 5.2 character banners, which include a long-expected rerun of Albedo. Chasca is an Anemo character, rumored to have a 5-star rarity.

Players have already met Chasca as an Npc in the main Archon Quests back in Version 5.0, the first of the Natlan patches. She plays an important role in the campaign, but in Version 5.2, players will be able to pull for her in the gacha banners and, if successful, use her in combat and exploration across the available Teyvat map.

Locating the farming locations for Spinel Fruit in Genshin Impact can be an arduous task, as these materials are extremely well hidden and require some thorough exploration to be gathered. Spinel Fruits are one of the many new types of resources added to the Natlan map in Version 5.0. Spinel Fruit is not specifically a type of Local Speciality, such as the Sprayfeather Gill in Genshin Impact, but they are used in a Natlan-exclusive recipe that can help players improve their overall performance in battle since the dish helps trigger important effects on some characters.

Despite not being a Local Specialty, per si, Spinel Fruits can only be farmed in Natlan, in specific locations. In fact, there is a very limited number of Spinel Fruit nodes on the map, so you will need to head to the precise locations in order to gather everything that is needed. The big problem with...

New leaks about Snezhnaya in Genshin Impact have emerged and, despite how detailed they may seem, players may want to take them with a huge grain of salt, as they may be fake or inflated. Snezhnaya is the seventh and final Nation of Teyvat, expected to arrive in HoYoverses action RPG in 2025. The Nation of Cryo is ruled by the Tsaritsa, the Cryo Archon who has been dispatching her Fatui units and Harbingers to all the corners of Teyvat in order to obtain the Gnoses from the other Archons. However, her true plans are still unknown.

Snezhnaya is the next region after Natlan in Genshin Impact, but that should only occur in mid-2025. At the moment, the game is progressing through the early stages of the Natlan story arc with Version 5.0, and at least two upcoming patches should add more main Archon Quests set in the Nation of Pyro. However,...

Eiichiro Oda has created several powerful attacks for One Piece, and each character has their own special move. Luffy has his Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun, Blackbeard has Black Hole, and Kuma has Ursus Shock. Similarly, two other moves that have become very popular are Garp’s Galaxy Impact and Shanks’ Divine Departure.

Both of them are fatal powers that can cause an unbelievable amount of destruction. These are special moves that the characters have used to put an end to a battle, and so far, it has been impossible to decide which one among the two fares better.

Starsilver Ore is a valuable material players will want to collect in Genshin Impact. Starsilver Ore is a material used to craft weapons in the game. Those who are unaware will be able to find this material only in the Dragonspine section of the map, which is an extension of the Mondstadt region. Players might be interested in this material now because of the certain weapons they can create.

Since Starsilver is a rare ore, it takes longer to respawn in the open world of Genshin Impact. Like Crystal Chunks in Genshin Impact, Starsilver Ore takes about 48 hours to respawn, which can get frustrating for players looking to farm more. Therefore, the best way to get large amounts of Starsilver is to find nodes consisting of 3 to 4 Starsilver ore deposits and farm as many as possible in a single run.
