Hugh Downs, omnipresent television broadcaster, dies at 99 – The Washington Post

When Mr. Downs signed off in 1999, he was known to millions of TV viewers as the co-host with Barbara Walters of the ABC newsmagazine “20/20.” Before that, he had been a host of NBC’s “Today” show, a long-running staple of American mornings, and before that a sidekick to Jack Paar on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” a long-running staple of late-night viewing. He also hosted the game show “Concentration.” By the time he retired, one reporter noted, Mr. Downs had been on TV nearly as long as TV had been on. He “represented the entire history of broadcasting,” Ron Simon, curator for television and radio at the Paley Center for Media in New York, said in an interview. “Whatever the format, he was that consummate, quintessential broadcaster who could adapt his style to what was needed.” Mr. Down...

Clone High Reboot Coming to MTV from Phil Lord, Chris Miller, and Bill Lawrence – Collider.com

Great news, everyone! The beloved yet short-lived animated comedy series Clone High is getting re-imagined for MTV, and the original creators are onboard. You may or may not know that Phil Lord and Chris Miller — the wildly successful (and Oscar-winning) filmmakers behind movies like The LEGO Movie and 21 Jump Street – got their start co-creating Clone High in the early 2000s. The show only ran for 13 episodes on MTV in the U.S. and on Teletoon in Canada, but it built up a cult following for its tremendous sense of humor and unique premise. Like the original, “Clone High” will follow prominent historical figures who have been cloned and placed back in high school, including Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, John F. Kennedy, and more, as they face ...

Sia Recalls Stopping Maddie Ziegler From Getting on a Plane With Harvey Weinstein – E! NEWS

When it comes to Maddie Ziegler, Sia is basically a bodyguard.  In an interview on the Zach Sang Show, the Grammy-nominated performer reflected on her relationship with Maddie Ziegler, the Dance Moms reality star who amassed greater solo fame at 11 years old after starring in Sia's "Chandelier" music video in 2014.  Over the years—and many music videos together—the songstress has become a mentor, friend and protective parental figure to the now-teenage multi-hyphenate.  "As soon as I met Maddie, I felt extreme desire to protect her and I think that it was part of my own healing," Sia said during the interview.

Lea Micheles former Broadway co-star Craig Ramsay calls her one of the most entitled people – USA TODAY

Lea Michele's former Broadway co-star is speaking up about his experience with the singer and actress, who's recently been accused of workplace microaggressions. During an appearance on "Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef" Tuesday, Craig Ramsay, who starred with Michele in "Fiddler on the Roof" in the 2000s, called the former "Glee" star "despicable."  "I just didn't want to hear Lea Michele's name in this interview at all," Ramsay said. "I think she's a despicable, horrible human being. I think she has lost touch with reality." He continued, "I think she's one of the most entitled people I've ever come across in this business." "Glee" ran from 2009 to 2015, but Ramsay said he was there when Michele, 33, got the call about being cast for the hit musical high school drama series ...
