In the case of Late Late, the diagnosis went straight to the top, with host James Corden announcing on social media that he’d had a positive test. “I just tested positive for covid 19,” Corden wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m fully vaccinated, boosted, and because of this, am fortunate enough to say I feel completely fine.” The host went on to say that the show would be taking a few days off. News of The Late Late Show taking a pause comes not long after a similar situation over at NBC, where Seth Meyers announced that Late Night would be takin...

A biopic of iconic actress Audrey Hepburn starring Rooney Mara is in the works at Apple, Variety has confirmed. Oscar-nominated “Call Me by Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino will helm the project, with Mara producing and “The Giver” co-writer Michael Mitnick penning the script. Though plot details are being kept under wraps, Hepburn is an acting legend celebrated for her performances in classics like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “My Fair Lady,” “Wait Until Dark,” “Charade” and “Sabrina.” During her four-decade career, Hepburn achieved EGOT status, winning Emmy, Oscar, Tony and Grammy awards, the last of which she received posthumously. She was also a dedicated humanitarian, working with UNICEF to help children in Africa, South America and Asia and receiving the Presidential Med...

The Weeknd, like many of us, spent part of 2020 in a pandemic depression. Plagued by feeling “in this limbo state,” he channeled his feelings into what he planned as his fifth studio album, the follow-up to 2020's No. 1 “After Hours,” which sparked three polished No. 1 singles (“Save Your Tears” and “Blinding Lights” among them) and incited much Grammy Awards drama.  But the results were too dark, too sad and, he said, “emotionally detrimental.” So the Canadian superstar officially known as Abel Tesfaye rebooted, turning his creativity to the idea of purgatory and being stuck in gridlock in a tunnel, a light beckoning at the end to signal the transition to the other side. But before you think that concept sounds macabre, The Weeknd enlisted the ideal ambassador to ease the journey – a sof...

"The Late Late Show" host James Corden announced on Thursday that has has tested positive for Covid-19, adding that his program will be off the air for "the next few days" as a result. "I'm fully vaccinated, boosted and because of this am fortunate enough to say I feel completely fine," Corden wrote. "Stay safe everyone." On Tuesday, Seth Meyers -- the host of NBC's "Late Night with Seth Meyers" -- revealed his Covid diagnosis and was canceling his shows for the rest of the week. "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon revealed this week that he had recovered from Covid-19, which he tested positive for before Christmas. In December, "Saturday Night Live" canceled plans for a live studio audience due to a surge of coronavirus cases in New York City.

Apparently, killing off Chris Noth's character wasn't enough. The actor's cameo in the finale of "And Just Like That" has reportedly been removed after several women accused the actor of sexual assault, according to Variety. Noth's character — John James Preston, a.k.a. Mr. Big — had already died in the series' first episode from a fatal heart attack after exercising on his Peloton. He was dead but apparently not forgotten. In the show's finale, Noth was slated to appear in a fantasy sequence alongside Sarah Jessica Parker — who plays onscreen wife Carrie Bradshaw — during her visit to the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris, where she scatters his ashes. According to the show's creative team, the desired footage of Noth for the season finale wasn't significant enough in furthering or adding to...

Is anyone having a year like Andrew Garfield’s? Following a lengthy stage hiatus (which nabbed him a Tony Award), the actor stormed the fourth quarter of 2021 with back-to-back film releases in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and “Tick, Tick … Boom!” The latter has placed him front and center for Oscar contention in the best actor category. And then came December. The cat is, well, out of the bag that Garfield — despite sly denials — reprises his role as Peter Parker in Sony’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” alongside reigning webslinger Tom Holland and the O.G. arachnid Tobey Maguire. Co-produced with Marvel, the latest film is approaching $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office and has deeply satisfied fans across age demographics and franchises. It also provides yet another dimensio...
