Cedric The Entertainer as Calvin, Max Greenfield as Dave and Leonard Roberts as Agent Ryder in ‘The Neighborhood’

CBS’s 2025-2026 primetime season is filling out, with the network announcing the renewal of The Neighborhood. The announcement wasn’t all positive as CBS confirmed the upcoming eighth season will be the half-hour comedy’s last.

“The brilliant cast and creative team at The Neighborhood led by the incomparable Cedric the Entertainer, have brought levity, laughter, and poignant storylines to Monday nights for seven incredible seasons,” stated Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The Neighborhood is a strong ratings performer for CBS and one of the top comedies on TV. We believe the show’s loyal fans deserve a proper farewell season full of the trademark humor and heartfelt moments that are synonymous with the series.”

In addition to Cedric the Entertainer, season seven stars Max Greenfield, Beth Behrs, Tichina Arnold,...

CBS today delivered great news for the fans of some of its biggest scripted series, handing early renewals to all NCIS dramas: flagship NCIS, NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney; as well as Tracker, Fire Country and Elsbeth, alongside comedies Ghosts, which got a two-season pickup, and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. They join previously renewed freshman drama Matlock and the mothership FBI, which has two more seasons on its 3-year deal.

As usual, the news set alarm bells for fans of the series that didn’t make the early renewal list, dramas FBI: Most Wanted, FBI: International, The Equalizer and yes, the twice-canceled S.W.A.T., as well as veteran comedy The Neighborhood and freshman sitcom Poppa’s House. (It’s too early for new drama Watson which just premiered.)

If history — and simple math — is any indication, it is certain that several of the series that were not picked up today won’t be back next season.

Jack Lemmon was the two-time Oscar-winner who starred in dozens of films, working until his death in 2001 at the age of 76. But how many of those titles are classics? Let’s take a look back at 25 of his greatest movies, ranked worst to best.

Lemmon won his first Oscar as Best Supporting Actor for “Mister Roberts” (1955). A second Oscar for Best Actor followed for “Save the Tiger” (1973), making him the first person to pull off victories in both categories. He competed six more times for Best Actor throughout his career.

He is perhaps best known for his long collaboration with Walter Matthau, with whom he made 11 films. In films such as “The Fortune Cookie” (1966), “The Odd Couple” (1968), and “Grumpy Old Men” (1993), Lemmon’s fastidiousness played beautifully off of Matthau’s scruffiness.

On the small screen, Lemmon earned Emmys for “‘S Wonderful, ‘S Marvelous, ‘S Gershwin” (Best Variety Performer in 1972) and...

Dame Joan Plowright’s career spanned several decades, and she became one of the most celebrated actresses in Britain. She’s equally brilliant on stage and screen and has immensely contributed to the arts. Similarly, Cher, a pop culture icon and acclaimed actress has impressed everyone with her charisma and versatility throughout her career.

When these two legendary women came together for a film, their chemistry was unmatched. Their collaboration shows how a talented cast can bring a movie to life, and the fact that two amazing actresses can co-exist in a project, without trying to overshadow the other.

Joan Plowright and Cher came together for a semi-autobiographical film, titled, Tea with Mussolini, and it was helmed by Franco Zeffirelli, who brought out the best in both actresses.

Dame Joan Plowright, one of the great English actors of both stage and screen died Thursday, Jan. 16, The Guardian reports. She was 95.

Plowright’s family confirmed her death, saying she died at a care home in Northwood, England for people who’d worked in theater. A cause of death was not given.

“She enjoyed a long and illustrious career across theatre, film and TV over seven decades until blindness made her retire,” Plowright’s family said. “She cherished her last 10 years in Sussex with constant visits from friends and family,...

Joan Plowright, a British acting legend of stage and screen and the widow of Laurence Olivier, has died at the age of 95, Variety reports. A cause of death has not been disclosed.

She was the recipient of a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play (for 1961’s A Taste of Honey) and two Golden Globes — one for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture (for Enchanted April) and the other for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film (for HBO’s Stalin) — both of which she was awarded in 1993. She is one of only four actresses...

The statement revealed that Joan passed away at a retirement home for actors in southern England. She was surrounded by her loved ones as she breathed her last breaths.

“She enjoyed a long and illustrious career across theatre, film and TV over seven decades until blindness made her retire,” the family said (via ABC News).

“We are so proud of all Joan did and who she was as a loving and deeply inclusive human being.”

No cause of death was revealed, but it seems that the passing was not unexpected.

One of Joan Plowright’s greatest screen performances came towards the very end of her career: a gloriously subtle, lovable appearance on Roger Michell’s documentary Nothing Likea Dame from 2018, with four great dames of the British acting profession – Plowright, Eileen Atkins, Judi Dench and Maggie Smith – assembling like Marvel superheroes at the country home that Plowright shared with her late husband Laurence Olivier to drink tea and swap uproarious anecdotes and sharp observations about the acting profession and the sexism they and their younger colleagues continue to face.

Joan Plowright, the heralded actress of stage and screen who was also the widow to Laurence Olivier, has passed away. Dame Joan Plowright was 95.

A native of Lincolnshire, England, Joan Plowright – who studied at the famed Bristol Old Vic Theatre School – first made her London stage debut in the mid-’50s. Soon after, she was working alongside Laurence Olivier, then already a well-established icon of the stage and screen himself, having combined these talents in an almost unprecedented way with Henry V and Hamlet. (He was also fresh off of his divorce from Vivien Leigh.)

The month after Joan Plowright married Olivier, she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play for A Taste of Honey. Plowright remained committed to the stage, steadily appearing in productions into the early ‘90s. Some key productions include The Crucible; Uncle Vanya; Three Sisters; Saturday, Sunday, Monday; Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?...

Her 60-year spanning career included a Bafta-nominated role in 1960 film The Entertainer, an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe win for 1991 comedy drama Enchanted April and a Bafta nomination for a 1977 film version of Equus.

Stage roles included George Bernard Shaw’s Saint Joan in 1963 and 1977’s Filumena.

Plowright had been retired for 10 years, having lost her eyesight, but in 2018, appeared in Roger Michell’s film Nothing Like a Dame, looking back on her career alongside Judi Dench and Maggie Smith, her co-stars in 1999 comedy drama Tea With Mussolini.

Joan Plowright, the distinguished actress of the post-war British stage whose considerable skill as a performer was at times eclipsed by her fame as the third and last wife of Laurence Olivier, has died. She was 95.

Plowright died on Jan. 16 surrounded by family in her native U.K. A statement from the family released on Friday to the BBC said: “It is with great sadness that the family of Dame Joan Plowright, the Lady Olivier, inform you that she passed away peacefully on January 16 2025 surrounded by her family at Denville Hall aged 95.”

It added: “She enjoyed a long and illustrious career across theatre, film and TV over seven decades until blindness made her retire. She cherished her last 10 years in Sussex with constant visits from friends and family, filled with much laughter and fond memories. The family are deeply grateful to Jean Wilson and all those involved in her personal care over many years.

Joan Plowright, perhaps the greatest Anglophone actor of the 20th century and the widow of Laurence Oliver, died on Thursday. She was 95.

Plowright was a prominent actress of stage and screen in her own right, especially in her native England, and was a Tony winner for “A Taste of Honey.” The actress had retired in 2014 after going blind due to macular degeneration.

Apparently, there’s nothing that controversial shit-starting stand-up Katt Williams hates more than a woman making fun of him — well, maybe besides women, of course.

The fiery temperament belonging to the 53-years-old comedian from Cincinnati has created so many gossip-worthy moments throughout Williams’ long career in show business, but arguably no Williams scandal was nearly as meme-able as his appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s podcast and comedy beef petri dish Club Shay Shay back in January. After Williams attacked numerous comedy A-listers including Kevin Hart, Cedric the Entertainer and Steve Harvey with a slew of accusations and insults ranging from personal to professional, the writers of Saturday Night Live had no choice but to address the viral rant on the show, choosing veteran cast member Ego Nwodim to impersonate Williams in the pivotal sketch — and just like that, SNL found itself at the top of Williams’ shit list.

Merry Saltzman, the firstborn child of Harry Saltzman, who co-produced the first nine James Bond films, has died. She was 77.

Saltzman died Oct. 30 at her home in San Jose, California, after a brief battle with cancer, family members told The Hollywood Reporter.

Saltzman served as an associate producer on the 2019 feature Mermaid Down, and four years earlier, she announced that she had secured the rights to a stage project she was calling James Bond: The Musical. The show, a parody, was designed to open in Las Vegas or Broadway but never made it.

Saltzman was born in Manhattan on Dec. 21, 1946, to Herschel Saltzman, a Canadian, and the first of his three wives, Tanya. Before the movies, her father served as a wartime spy, and she “helped in an amazing way to enlighten his work and contribution to the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force and in the U.S. secret service Oss,...

Exclusive: Earthquake, the acclaimed comedian otherwise known as Nathaniel Stroman, has signed with WME for representation in all areas.

Earthquake’s 2022 Netflix special, Chappelle’s Home Team – Legendary: Earthquake, was the first comedy special produced by Dave Chappelle that was not his own. His second comedy special for Netflix, also produced by Chappelle, is forthcoming.

Earthquake has also over the years been seen in countless films and TV series — most recently, Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy Unfrosted for Netflix, and Cedric The Entertainer’s CBS sitcom The Neighborhood. Currently, he can be seen in Johnson for Bounce, and he will soon reprise his Everybody Hates Chis role of Uncle Mike in the animated series Everybody Still Hates Chris on Comedy Central.

Earthquake also hosts Quake’s House, a radio show for Kevin Hart’s Laugh Out Loud Radio on SiriusXM. Touring the country as a comic for nearly 30 years, he opened his own comedy club,...

The world has changed in countless ways since Billy Joel kicked off his monthly Madison Square Garden residency in January 2014. Donald Trump was a mere NBC reality show host at the time, Jeb Bush had good reason to think he was the future of the Republican party, and few people outside the world of virology had heard the term “coronavirus.”

But despite all the changes we’ve lived through, it was a certainty that (barring illness or global pandemic), Billy Joel would play a spectacular show at Madison Square Garden every single month.

Billy Joel made sure his 150th and final residency show at New York City’s Madison Square Garden was a special one. The Piano Man was joined by none other than Axl Rose for three songs during the historic concert.

The Guns N’ Roses singer was introduced by Joel in the middle of the set, receiving a loud roar from the sold-out arena. After the two rock legends embraced, Joel and his band broke into a cover of Wings’ “Live and Let Die” (a song famously performed by Gn’R), with Rose handling lead vocals.

They followed that up with a cover of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell,” another song Rose is very familiar with, having fronted AC/DC back in 2016 when Brian Johnson had to step away from the band due to hearing issues.

The show resumed without Axl throughout the rest of the main set, but the...

The iconic Piano Man, Billy Joel, is prepared to bid farewell to the stage of one of the world’s most renowned concert venues, New York City’s Madison Square Garden.

After a remarkable run of over 150 performances at the legendary arena, the 75-year-old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer will take the stage one last time on July 25, and bring an end to an era that has captivated music enthusiasts for decades.

Joel’s history with Madison Square Garden dates back to December 1978, when he first graced the arena’s stage, riding the wave of success from his acclaimed album The Stranger. In the 45 years that have since passed, the renowned singer-songwriter has cemented his place in the annals of Msg history, and set records for “Most Lifetime Performances By Any Artist” and “Most Consecutive Performances By Any Artist.”

In the lead-up to his swan song, Joel has made...

When the 2023 Primetime Emmy nominations were revealed, Ali Wong and Pedro Pascal both had the honor of being included in multiple performance lineups. She made history as the first newcomer to the acting categories recognized for both live action (“Beef”) and voice (“Tuca & Bertie”) work, while he became the first actor nominated for three programs on his initial Emmy outing. These achievements made them the newest members of a group of 26 people who earned their first two (or three) acting Emmy nominations in a single year.

Wong’s eventual Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress win for “Beef” made her the seventh person in this bunch to succeed on one of her bids. The first was Robert Cummings, who received 1955’s Best Single Performance by an Actor prize for “Twelve Angry Men” and simultaneously lost for his regular lead turn on “My Hero.”

The first five champs who followed Cummings were Jack Albertson,...

Exclusive: UTA has signed comedic multi-hyphenate Cedric The Entertainer and his production company A Bird And A Bear Entertainment for representation in all areas.

A comedian, actor and executive producer, Cedric currently stars opposite Max Greenfield in the CBS sitcom The Neighborhood, which returned for its sixth season in February and has been picked up for a seventh. Created by Jim Reynolds, the show follows midwesterner Dave Johnson (Greenfield) as he relocates his white family to a predominantly African American neighborhood in Los Angeles. There, Dave’s excessive friendliness isn’t well-received by everyone, especially his new next-door neighbor, Calvin Butler (Cedric The Entertainer). Cedric won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on the show last year, marking his sixth inclusion in the category.

CBS Studios doubled down on its commitment to The Neighborhood universe by giving a series order to Crutch,...

Laurence Olivier was an Oscar-winning thespian best remembered for his psychologically intense Shakespeare adaptations, both as an actor and a director. Yet his filmography extends well past the Bard’s work. Let’s take a look back at 15 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best.

Born in 1907 in Surrey, England, Olivier first came to prominence on the British stage. A series of acclaimed theatrical performances, most notably in Noel Coward‘s “Private Lives,” caught the attention of filmmakers both in the UK and the US.

He earned his first Oscar nomination as Best Actor for William Wyler‘s “Wuthering Heights” (1939), competing the very next year for Alfred Hitchcock‘s “Rebecca” (1940). Having firmly established himself as a formidable talent in front of the camera, he stepped behind it to great success with “Henry V”, the first of three films he would direct and star in based on the works of William Shakespeare.

Jerry Seinfeld revealed during a recent interview on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast (via People) that he wanted Chris Rock to parody the infamous Oscars slap in his feature directorial debut “Unfrosted,” which recently premiered on Netflix. The issue was that Seinfeld filmed the comedy movie not long after the March 2022 Oscars, and Rock was allegedly feeling too “shook” to be able to perform in the movie.

“The other thing I wanted to do that I almost did was Chris Rock was going to be the emcee of the Bowl & Spoon Awards — and we shot that right after the Will Smith slap,” Seinfeld explained. “I was going to have somebody come up on the stage and have Chris punch ’em out as they got there.”

“Unfrosted” is loosely based on the true story of the creation of Pop-Tarts. Set in 1963, it tracks the rivalry between cereal companies Kellogg’s and...

Tracy Morgan is moving into The Neighborhood, which is expanding with a spinoff for Paramount+.

The Saturday Night Live vet has been tapped to headline Crutch, an extension of the Cedric The Entertainer comedy that will bypass CBS and bow on Paramount’s streaming service. In a surprise twist, Morgan will not reprise his Season 4 role as Calvin Butler’s wealthy brother Curtis. Instead, he’ll play a new character: Calvin’s cousin, Francois “Frank” Crutchfield – or, as his friends call him, Crutch — “a Harlem widower whose empty nest plans are put on hold after his millennial son and free-spirited daughter move back home,...

NCIS and The Neighborhood will both return for the 2024-2025 primetime season. CBS announced that NCIS has been renewed for season 22, while The Neighborhood has earned a seventh season order.

“The Neighborhood and NCIS are the very best definition of a CBS comedy and drama,” stated Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, announcing the renewals. “They embody authentic storytelling with heart, humor, and family dynamics. We are proud to bring them back next season.”

The announcement comes hot on the heels of the network renewing the three FBI shows – FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, and FBI: International.

NCIS season 21 is ranked second among entertainment programs this season, with newcomer Tracker ranking first. The long-running drama starring Sean Murray, Wilmer Valderrama, Katrina Law, and Brian Dietzen has been averaging 12.9 million viewers, up 12% year-over-year. The franchise is airing its 1,000 episode on April 15, 2024.

NCIS follows the “sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a...

Since the establishment of the Academy Awards in 1929, exactly 60 films have achieved lone lead male acting nominations, meaning they were each recognized in the Best Actor category and nowhere else. The last such instance occurred in 2023 and involved “Aftersun” star Paul Mescal, who, at 26, stood out as the youngest member of a lineup consisting only of first-time Oscar contenders. Although his low-budget movie had a strong shot at an original screenplay bid and was viewed as a serious Best Picture candidate, it ended up getting no love outside the acting branch.

Before Mescal was recognized, his category hadn’t seen a lone nominee since Willem Dafoe earned his first lead bid for “At Eternity’s Gate” in 2019. This was the ninth time that four or more years separated consecutive Best Actor loners, with the single largest gap having spread between Cary Grant and Clifton Webb. Such nominations appear to be becoming less common in this category,...

When it comes to lone acting Oscar nominations, the category with the fewest examples is Best Supporting Actor. After two consecutive years of there being no new additions to that subgroup, Brian Tyree Henry (“Causeway”) became its 54th member in 2023 after having been largely ignored by other awards bodies over the preceding weeks. He directly followed Tom Hanks, who is the only other entrant from the last five years.

Within the last decade, this club has only grown by seven, with those who preceded Hanks and Henry being Robert Duvall, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, and Christopher Plummer. 2018 marked the fifth instance of two men accomplishing the feat at once, thus tying the category’s record for most bids of this kind in a single year. Contextually, the corresponding Best Supporting Actress record is three, while that of both lead categories is four.

As it happens, the Best Supporting...

Dolly Parton is celebrating her birthday Friday, January 19th, with a new deluxe edition of her November album Rockstar that includes fresh tracks.

“It’s my Birthday so I’m going to give you a present!” our November cover star wrote on Twitter. “I’m releasing four never released songs for my birthday, to go with the Rockstar album, and a few others that you may have heard before that were not on the album.

CBS is hoping that viewers tuning in to the next couple of weeks of big NFL games will help its returning series.

The network is launching a series of sneak-peeks and messages from its talent across this weekend’s coverage of the NFL Wild Card game and the upcoming Divisional playoff round.

Shows such as Young Sheldon (watch the sneak-peaks above), as well as FBI, FBI: International, Blue Bloods, Fire Country, Ghosts, The Neighborhood and its new series Tracker, which launches after the Super Bowl, are getting this treatment on January 14 ahead of CBS’ Wild Card game, while Bob Hearts Abishola, CSI: Vegas, The Equalizer, FBI: Most Wanted, NCIS, NCIS: Hawai’I, So Help Me Todd (watch below) and S.W.A.T...

Billy Joel‘s Madison Square Garden (Msg) concerts are coming to an end, but there’s still time to see him at the famous New York City arena.

The New York local first began performing for Msg in 2014 and, in October, started the countdown to his last ten shows. The “Uptown Girl” singer currently holds the record for most appearances at Msg.

“Madison Square Garden is the center of the universe as far as I’m concerned,” Joel is known to have said. “It has the best acoustics, the best audiences, the best reputation, and the best history of great artists who have played there. It is the iconic, holy temple of rock and roll for most touring acts and, being a New Yorker, it holds a special significance to me.”

British actor who starred in the 1960s film classics Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and The Entertainer

Shirley Anne Field, who has died aged 87, was likened to Marilyn Monroe, Catherine Deneuve and even “a sort of red-haired Brigitte Bardot”. There was no question she could stop traffic. “Lorries used to thunder to a halt, and I would wonder what they were looking at,” she said.

Her presence was sharply distinctive. In Karel Reisz’s film of Alan Sillitoe’s Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960), a defining work of kitchen-sink drama, she was a vision of self-possession as Doreen, who works in a Nottingham hairnet factory, lives with her mother and catches the eye of the discontented lathe operator Arthur Seaton, played by Albert Finney.

Shirley Anne Field, the British leading lady who starred alongside Laurence Olivier in The Entertainer, Albert Finney in Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, and Kenneth More in Man in the Moon — all in 1960 — has died. She was 87.

“It is with great sadness that we are sharing the news that Shirley Anne Field passed away peacefully on Sunday, Dec. 10, surrounded by her family and friends,” a spokesperson announced.

“Shirley Anne will be greatly missed and remembered for her unbreakable spirit and her amazing legacy spanning more than five decades on stage and screen.”

For her first Hollywood film, Field passed up John Schlesinger’s A Kind of Loving to star opposite Steve McQueen and Robert Wagner in the World War II drama The War Lover (1962). It was a decision she would regret, she explained in a 2009 interview.

“I finally had a chance to go to Hollywood and become a worldwide name.

Appearing in many of the landmark gritty dramas of the era, the actor, who has died aged 87, stood out for portraying vulnerability combined with a canny intelligence

Shirley Anne Field had the kind of ingenue English-rose freshness and beauty that the British cinema loved in the 50s and 60s – it had something feline about it, a kind of innocent-fatale. Hers were the kind of looks that always introduced an almost unintentional note of innocence and poignancy into the tough dramas and kitchen-sink pictures in which she was cast; she had something of the model agency and deportment school and yet also the pinup mag.

Field was of the same generation as heartstoppingly beautiful performers such as Janette Scott, Shirley Eaton, Sylvia Sims and Julie Christie. She appeared briefly in Michael Powell’s 1960 chiller Peeping Tom as a temperamental film diva (quite unlike her real self) but had her breakthrough in...

The Golden Globe nominations were dominated by Barbenheimer, Greta Gerwig's Barbie, and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. Ridley Scott's Napoleon and Michael Mann's Ferrari were notable snubs from the film categories. Donald Glover and Janine Nabers' Swarm and Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi's Reservation Dogs were completely shut out from nominations in the television categories.

It wouldn't be the start of awards season announcements without surprises, and the Golden Globes nominations have delivered just that. The nominations, presented today by Cedric "The Entertainer" and Wilmer Valderrama, were unsurprisingly dominated by Barbenheimer; Greta Gerwig's Barbie led the pack with nine nods, while Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer secured eight nominations. Martin Scorsese's epic The Killers of the Flower Moon and Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things each earned seven nominations. Gerwig, Nolan, Scorsese, and Lanthimos all earned Best Director nominations, along with Bradley Cooper for Maestro and Celine Song for Past Lives.

Shirley Anne Field has died aged 87, her family has announced.

The stage and screen actor came to prominence in the 1960s following her role as Tina Lapford in The Entertainer opposite Laurence Olivier.

While much of 2023 in Hollywood was dominated by labor strikes and negotiations, the film and TV industry are finally heading into a full-fledged awards season. November marked the return of the Gotham Film Awards, and 2024 will herald the return of the delayed Primetime Emmys, Oscars, and and more.

First up are the Golden Globe Awards, which will take place on January 7, 2024 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. The 81st Golden Globes will air live on CBS and award both film and television selected by 310 international journalists after the Hollywood Foreign Press Association dissolved and redistributed its assets. The 2024 ceremony will introduce two new awards: Cinematic and Box Office Achievement in Motion Pictures, and Best Performance in Stand-Up Comedy on Television. Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment (Wce) will serve as executive-producing showrunners for the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards, with Weiss directing.

Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” a feminist phenomenon that traces its origins to toy store shelves, dominated nominations for the 2024 Golden Globe Awards. Its 10 nods makes the movie the second most-nominated in the 81-year history of the show, tying it with “Cabaret.”

“Barbie” was followed closely by “Oppenheimer,” Christopher Nolan’s look at J. Robert Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb, which scored eight nominations. “Oppenheimer” was released on the same weekend as “Barbie,” a rare confluence of blockbusters that inspired memes and, later, Halloween costumes, while turbocharging the box office.

Unlike the Oscars, the Globes honor the best of both film and television and steer clear of recognizing excellence in most below-the-line crafts like editing or cinematography. They also distinguish between film genres, recognizing the best comedies and musicals separately from the best dramas.
