The three-hour finale of Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) was a huge success! Viewership was up 45% compared to last year’s finale, and the show saw an 89% increase in viewers under 50 throughout the season. Overall, DWTS finished the season as the number one show among adults under 50. Notably, Gen Z viewers tuned in heavily, giving the show a remarkable 53% share of all live TV viewers aged 18-34 – the largest share for any entertainment broadcast since the Friends finale in 2004. A great result for ABC!

Jessie J’s latest album, Don’t Tease Me With A Good Time, took five years to create and is her first release since 2018. At a listening event in West London, as reported by The Sun, she shared details about one of the songs on the album.

Despite earning a massive $4 billion in ticket sales, the negative reaction to the Star Wars sequel trilogy prompted Disney to change how it handles the beloved franchise. Since The Rise of Skywalker, Disney+ has released a lot of Star Wars TV series, and the story has expanded through books, comics, and games. However, recent major projects have mostly avoided directly continuing the events of the sequel era. That’s about to change, but not with the project fans have been anticipating since 2018.

In the new movie Zootopia 2, Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman) team up once more to find Gary De-Snake (Ke Huy Quan), a mischievous reptile causing trouble in town. Directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, the sequel delivers uplifting messages about acceptance and plenty of humor. While critics praise the film’s positive themes – especially given recent changes in Disney’s diversity and inclusion efforts – opinions are mixed on the connection between the two main characters. Here’s a look at what critics are saying about Zootopia 2.

Aunt Ophelia has been a character in almost every version of The Addams Family. She originally appeared in the comic strips as a blonde woman with flowers growing out of her head, appearing as if she were wearing a flower crown. In the 1960s television series, Ophelia was engaged to Gomez Addams, but he fell in love with Morticia after hearing her speak French – and surprisingly, this also cured his asthma! Ophelia didn’t mind, however, as she had already developed feelings for Cousin Itt.

When asked whether he’d submit ‘Smoke’ or ‘Stack’ for an Oscar nomination, Jordan jokingly responded that it was a very ambitious question.

People who have followed the Marvel Cinematic Universe from the beginning feel a strong connection to its characters, particularly the first Avengers team. They’ll be excited to hear what Jennifer Lawrence shared while promoting her new film, Die My Love, alongside Robert Pattinson for MUBI. During a conversation with Pattinson, she revealed:

I was so excited when Daredevil: Born Again finally hit Disney+ in March 2025! It’s basically a continuation of the old Netflix series, and it’s amazing to see Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio back as Daredevil and Kingpin. The best part? We’re already getting a second season next year, and they’ve even given the green light for a third! I can’t wait!

In The Secret Agent, Moura delivers a compelling performance in his first Portuguese role in years, bringing a classic, weathered quality to the character of Armando. He fully embodies the spirit of his era, feeling almost like a faded, vintage photograph. The film itself has a warm, nostalgic look, a style that becomes clearer as the story unfolds and jumps to the present day, where researchers are examining old archives. We learn that Armando isn’t just a man who crossed the wrong person – he’s a forgotten figure, and the film offers us a deeper look into his life than even those who knew him. Interestingly, Armando shares similarities with Leonardo DiCaprio’s character in One Battle After Another – both are fathers forced into hiding after opposing power, finding refuge among outsiders, and simply wanting to reconnect with their sons. Armando’s son, Fernando, is a playful boy fascinated by sharks, a fascination sparked by the movie Jaws.

The latest episode included a short scene after the credits that gave fans their first glimpse of how the story will end. While some of the footage in this new preview has been seen before, this is the first time it’s been officially released online, and it also reveals when we can expect the full experience to be available.
