Maggie Peterson, an actress who made a lasting impression as the sweet-natured, occasionally flirtatious mountain girl Charlene Darling on The Andy Griffith Show in the 1960s, died May 15 in Colorado, her family has announced. “It is with great sorrow that we report that our dear Aunt Maggie died yesterday afternoon,” the family posted on Facebook today. “She passed peacefully in her sleep with her family present.” Hollywood & Media Deaths In 2022: Photo Gallery Although she appeared on only five episodes of the classic rural sitcom in the Charlene role, Peterson was among the show’s most familiar and memorable recurring cast members, often joining her onscreen family The Darlings (played by real-life bluegrass group The Dillards, along with actor Denver Pyle as patriarch...

The first teaser for season three of Amazon Prime Video’s deconstructionist superhero series The Boys was based around the shocking reveal of Karl Urban’s Billy Butcher suddenly having Homelander-style eye lasers—plus some quick cuts of extreme violence and weird The Boys shenanigans—but this new trailer is finally digging into some explanations for what’s going on. We first see Antony Starr’s Homelander making various TV appearances to insist, over and over again, that he’s doing totally fine after the events of the show’s second season. He’s obviously full of shit, because he’s Homelander, but this turn does give Starr a lot of opportunities to flash that terrible smile of his. The second big thing in this teaser is Butcher shooting up with some green juice that gives him superpo...

Naomi Judd’s husband, Larry Strickland, was terrified of his late wife taking a flight alone because he knew she was in a “fragile” state. The Grammy winner, who died on April 30, flew solo from Austria to Nashville for the Country Music Hall of Fame ceremony. The event took place one day after her death. “I was really scared to death about her flying alone all the way from Vienna back to Nashville cause I knew how fragile she was,” Strickland, 76, recalled during CMT’s “Naomi Judd: A River of Time” special on Sunday. The North Carolina native noted that Judd made it to Tennessee “without a problem,” sharing a message from a stranger that the Judds member met during the flight. Larry Strickland reflected on his “fragile” wife Naomi Judd’s final days.Getty“I...

May 16 (Reuters) - Attorneys for actor Johnny Depp began their questioning of Amber Heard in the couple's defamation trial on Monday and challenged the "Aquaman" star's claims that she suffered physical abuse before and during their brief marriage. Depp's attorneys introduced photographs of Heard making public appearances on red carpets and "The James Corden Show" shortly after times that she said Depp had struck her with his hands, on which he usually wore heavy rings. The pictures shown to jurors appeared to reveal no injuries. Heard said the harm, which included what she thought was a broken nose, was not severe enough to be visible or was covered up by makeup.

The superpowered humans of Amazon’s The Boys are a danger in and of themselves, but it’s Vought — the immensely powerful and unscrupulous megacorporation that secretly created them — that poses the largest threat to the world. This has been obvious since the series’ very first episode, and while it’s occasionally felt like the organization might be on the brink of getting its comeuppance, a new trailer for The Boys’ upcoming third season makes clear that Vought’s nowhere near giving up. The Boys’ second season detailed how, in addition to secretly exposing children to chemicals that eventually gave rise to the world’s population of superpeople, Vought also knowingly brought on a deranged Nazi to join the Seven, its flagship team of superheroes. Were the truth about Vought to ever fu...

Amber Heard has finally admitted to failing to pay her pledged $3.5million donation to the ACLU after claiming to have made the contribution.   Testifying on the stand Monday, Heard said it was Depp suing her that kept her from fulfilling her pledge to donate her entire $7million divorce settlement.  However, Heard has claimed several times - including under oath in Depp's 2020 libel case in the UK - that she had donated the entire settlement to charity.  Heard appeared on Dutch talk show RTL Late Night in 2018 where she said, '$7million in total was donated - I split it between the ACLU and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles. I wanted nothing.' In court today Heard said she has yet to make the full donation 'because Johnny sued me for $50million in March of 2019.'  Heard said, 'I ful...
