Peloton released a statement on Monday after another older male character on a popular TV show was shown suffering a heart attack after using one of its bikes, saying it did not provide any equipment or agree for its products to be shown. On Sunday, the sixth season of the Showtime series "Billions" premiered, and early in the episode, a character named Mike Wagner, or Wags, played by David Costabile, is shown in his home biking on a Peloton before suffering a heart attack and later recovering. "We get why these fictional TV shows would want to include a brand that people love to talk about, but Showtime's use of Peloton's Bike+ and reference to a Peloton Instructor was not a brand, product, or instructor placement, and we did not agree for our brand and IP to be used on this show o...

Eat your hearts out, “Real Housewives.” HBO’s new show “The Gilded Age,” premiering Monday at 9 p.m. EST, chronicles the lifestyles of the rich and famous in Manhattan during the late 1800s — with ostentatious displays of wealth, ridiculous parties and heaps of tabloid-worthy gossip and scandal. The lifestyles of the rich and famous in Manhattan during the late 1800s is chronicled in HBO’s new series “The Gilded Age.”Alison Cohen RosaCreated by Julian Fellowes, the man behind “Downton Abbey,” the series also highlights the deep-rooted rivalries and prejudices among NYC high society (and the social climbers desperate to get a leg up). Here, The Post looks at some of the wildest stories of the real Gilded Age. The Washington Square Arch architect murdered for...

Arnold Schwarzenegger was recently spotted out and about, taking a spin on his hefty fat tire bike in the City of Angels. The "Terminator" star wore a blue t-shirt, black pants, white tennis shoes, a dark brown leather jacket and black aviators. The outing on Monday comes three days after the 74-year-old actor was involved in a four-car accident in Los Angeles. On Jan. 21, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Drake Madison confirmed to Fox News Digital that "there was a four-vehicle traffic accident on Sunset and Allenford at 4:35 p.m." ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER INVOLVED IN CAR ACCIDENT Arnold Schwarzenegger was seen riding his bike on Monday, just days after being involved in a car accident in Los Angeles.

Queen Latifah is making her thoughts known following her former “Equalizer” co-star Chris Noth’s unexpected firing from the show. Noth, 67, was ousted from the CBS drama as well as the “Sex and the City” spinoff “And Just Like That” last year following allegations of sexual assault. Latifah, 51, told People what she thought about Noth’s dismissal as well as his character being written off. “It’s still surreal. It is such a dicey, delicate situation that requires a great deal of respect,” the “U.N.I.T.Y.” singer said. “That’s a personal thing that he’s going to have to deal with.”  “We are figuring out what we want to do creatively on the show and how we’re going to deal with that character,” she added. “Chris’ character is obviously a big part of the...

Sundance Film Festival has revealed a mystery movie on its 2022 lineup. “Navalny,” a fly-on-the-wall documentary about Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, has been a late addition to the festival’s agenda. The film will debut on Jan. 25 at 6 p.m. MT. This year’s Sundance Film Festival is currently taking place virtually, a concession due to the omicron variant of COVID-19, and ends on Jan. 30. In an usual move, Sundance had a TBA listed for the 10th and final selection in the U.S. documentary competition before Monday’s announcement that “Navalny” would fill the slot. The film’s premiere coincides with rising tensions between the U.S. and Russia amid mounting fears of Russian invasion into Ukraine. Directed by Daniel Roher, “Navalny” is described as a “revealing d...

A character in the new ABC drama Promised Land sits by a sparkling pool in a bikini reading King Lear, a moment that captures at once almost everything you could possibly need to know about the primetime soap. Promised Land wants to be titillating and tawdry, but at the same time it wants to have a little bit of nuance and pedigree, but at the same time, it worries that audiences might not get what that nuance is, so everything has to be underlined. Though I wish Promised Land had a little more confidence in its viewers, the first two episodes point to a slightly above-average broadcast attempt to do Dallas or Dynasty — a fight in the pilot even ends up in that swimming pool — for a Latino audience; there are just enough distinctive elements to cover for all of the w...
