Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have broken their silence on the cancellation of their family's TLC show "Counting On." The Duggar parents, who rose to fame on the same network with their previous show "19 Kids and Counting," released a statement on their official family blog on Saturday. "It is hard to believe that more than 17 years have passed since we were first contacted by a production company wanting to do a one-hour documentary about the logistics of raising 14 children. Our family has grown (and grown up!) before our eyes and on national television, and the journey has been miraculous—following God is an exciting adventure!" "Over the years, some of our most treasured moments have been those when we met children across the country who are alive today because of our testimony that...

It seems like it was only a matter of time before Zendaya and Tom Holland started dating. For years now, Spider-man fans have been hoping to see the co-stars together in a romantic capacity and on Friday, July 2 they got their wish.

The cast of Lovecraft CountryImage: HBO HBO said in a statement to Deadline that the network isn’t moving forward with the second season of Lovecraft Country. The strong viewership and dedicated fans didn’t guarantee a renewal, but so many were certain a season two was coming. Even showrunner Misha Green (co-creator of WGN’s Underground) was convinced she had it in the bag because she’s expressed her vision for what a second season would look like. “I envision a second season that carries on the spirit of Matt Ruff’s novel by continuing to reclaim the genre storytelling space that people of color have typically been left out of.” The first season follows Atticus Freeman (Johnathan Majors) as he, his childhood friend Letitia (Jurnee Smollet), and his uncle George (Courtney B. Vance) ...

Country singer Aaron Lewis released a new single on Friday that he dedicated to "all the patriots." Released just in time for the Fourth of July holiday, the 49-year-old former Staind frontman hints at his discontent with America's leadership and slams left-wing activists who have disrespected the country's flag and demolished statues. "Am I the only one here tonight / Shakin' my head / And thinkin' something ain't right? / Is it just me / Am I losing my mind / Am I standing on the edge / Of the end of time?"

The cast of Independence Day (and director Roland Emmerich, second from the right) at the film’s premiere in 1996.Photo: JEFF HAYNES/AFP via Getty Images It’s not hard to peg Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin’s Independence Day as the moment Will Smith went from “Will Smith, well-known rapper and potentially promising sitcom actor” to “Will Smith, no further qualifiers needed.” Building off the previous year’s Bad Boys, Independence Day transformed Smith into the go-to Hollywood blockbuster star of the next several years, comfortable with comedy and action alike. But, as revealed in a new Hollywood Reporter oral history of the film, it almost didn’t happen—because studio executives were convinced that international movie markets wouldn’t respond to a Black lead. Or, as remembered by Dev...
