Social Security Administration, the “fastest rising” boys’ names heading into 2023 were “Dutton” and “Kayce” — inspired by the Paramount Network series “Yellowstone.”In the show, Dutton is the surname of the fictional family who owns the Yellowstone ranch in Montana. The blockbuster series depicts the generations of Duttons living on the land since the 1800s and their battles to keep the ranch.Kevin Costner plays John Dutton, the patriarch of the family and the sixth generation to run the ranch, and Luke Grimes plays his son, Kayce Dutton.It’s not uncommon for pop culture to influence popular baby names, with parenting website Nameberry predicting the top 23 baby names of 2023 would be influenced by celebrities like Billie Eilish, Dolly Parton and Scarlett Johansson.The SSA has been compiling baby name lists since 1997.“Just like your name, Social Security is with you from day one.

clip on ET. This applies to the various factions of the Dutton ranching family on the hit Paramount show — which consists of patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) and his adult kids, Kayce (Grimes), Jamie (Wes Bentley), Beth (Kelly Reilly) and John’s son-in-law, Rip (Cole Hauser). But it might also relate to the reportedly behind-the-scenes drama between Costner, 68, and showrunner Taylor Sheridan, 52. For the past few months, rumors have flown about a feud between the showrunner and star. Initially, it was reported that Costner refused to be on-set for long while filming the second half of Season 5, which caused uncertainty about when filming would resume.

comes to an end this fall with the second half of Season 5, a new report has revealed creator Taylor Sheridan’s rip-roaring spending habits on the set of the mega-popular TV show have caused “internal frustration.”  A story in the Wall Street Journal said Paramount and 101 Studios pay Sheridan, 52, tens of thousands of dollars a week on top of what he’s paid to write, direct and produce his series — to use his various companies and services, including a “Cowboy Camp” to train actors. He rents cattle to Paramount at $25 a head, and he charges up to $50,000 a week for the show to film on ranches that he owns. Sheridan also billed the studio $3,000 to pay a wrangler in Texas, 1,600 miles away from set, who was looking after his own horses. Some of his exorbitant costs are a result of personal taste. For instance, he insists on using his preferred farrier to make the drama’s horseshoes, and had the specialist flown out to Montana from Texas for four nights to do the job, flummoxing executives at 101 Studios.“Are you kidding me? We can’t find a local person?” wrote David Glasser, the head of 101 Studios, in an email to staff. According to the Journal, Paramount and 101 are increasingly bothered by the powerful showrunner’s enormous expenses.Episodes of the “Yellowstone” prequel “1923” can cost up to $22 million each to produce, according to the report.

Paramount announced that “Yellowstone” will end with the second half of Season 5, which will premiere in November. This news comes amid rumors flying of a feud between creator Taylor Sheridan, 52, and star Kevin Costner, 68, who was apparently “stunned” by his wife filing for divorce.However, that’s not all. Right after the ending of “Yellowstone” premieres, there will be a “sequel series.” The network has not yet revealed the title, cast or plot details of the “sequel series,” but it will premiere in December, immediately following the ending of “Yellowstone.” It’s likely that “Yellowstone” stars such as Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser will be in it, and it’s probable that this is the “Yellowstone” show that will star Matthew McConaughey.

The rumors may just be true: Kevin Costner won’t be returning to “Yellowstone,” according to a new report.Sources close to the production of the show told Entertainment Tonight that Costner, 68, won’t return after Season 5.The outlet also reported that there is still no update on when the cast and crew will finish filming the remainder of Season 5’s episodes and return to Montana, where the series is filmed — leading to confusion and frustration with actors on the show, which also stars Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille and Gil Birmingham.The Post has reached out to reps for Costner and Paramount for comment.Reports of Costner’s exit come amid alleged behind-the-scenes drama between the actor and series co-creator Taylor Sheridan, 52.Deadline reported in February that Costner had disagreements over shooting schedules, allotting himself 65 days to shoot the first part of the series’ current fifth season — but only wanted to shoot for 50 days.When it came time to shoot the second part of the season, Costner reportedly only wanted to spend one single week filming, causing tensions with the cast and crew.However, a Paramount spokesperson shut down the rumors and told The Post, “We have no news to report.

The Post exclusively reported that “Yellowstone” will end after five seasons. This comes amidst rumored tension between Sheridan, 52, and Costner, 68. On Friday, a source told the Daily Mail that Sheridan developed a “God complex” on the set of his hit Paramount Network show. The source alleged that Costner, who is also an executive producer on the show, felt dismissed when he raised concerns about the direction that the story was taking — and that he was told to “stick to acting.” However, “Kevin will forever be proud of and grateful for ‘Yellowstone’ and the cast is like family to him,” the source told the outlet. “He just felt like ‘Yellowstone’ is headed in a direction that was not in line with their initial vision, and he was met with criticism, including that he should just stick to acting.”No date has been set yet for when filming will begin for the second half of the final season. The ranching family drama, which follows John Dutton (Costner, who won a Golden Globe for the role) and his adult kids, including Beth (Kelly Reilly), Kayce (Luke Grimes), Jamie (Wes Bentley) and the late Lee (David Annable), has been a smash hit. Sheridan’s breakout hit has spawned several spinoff shows, including “1883” starring Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill; “1923” starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren; the upcoming “6666;” and yet another spinoff, whose title has yet to be announced, starring Matthew McConaughey.

TheWrap about her work on the “Yellowstone” spinoff.“I had to be in the bed with him, you know. I’m dressed up to here,” she said, pointing to her neck during the outlet’s Q&A session about the show. “But I’m lying there and I’m thinking, ‘I’m in bed with Harrison Ford.’ I was so excited, I can’t tell you.

“Yellowstone” will end after the second half of its fifth season — reportedly amidst tension between star Kevin Costner and series co-creator Taylor Sheridan for reasons vaguely hinted at in various press reports.The issue here is not so much that “Yellowstone” will call it quits — every show runs its course, eventually, and it’s always best to go out on top.But it’s the Shakespearean fashion in which this drama is playing itself out, both offscreen and in front of the cameras. Not one single frame has yet to be shot for the series’ swan song, and that’s a shame. “Yellowstone” fans, who’ve embraced John Dutton (Costner) et al.

hit by claims that Costner, who plays powerful Montana patriarch John Dutton and won a Golden Globe for his work, won’t return amid a dispute with creator Taylor Sheridan.“It’s the same as with any show runner and big star — there’s respect, but there’s friction,” a well-placed production source told The Post.Meanwhile, a highly-placed Hollywood source who has worked with Sheridan confirmed there is an element of ego at play — but that it’s not necessarily Costner’s: “Taylor is the star of his show. He’s the most important person on all of his shows.”Some 12.1 million fans watched the November 2022 premiere of the first half of Season 5, which ended in January, and they are now in a tense wait for the second chapter to drop on Peacock.But production has not even been slated yet, and there is a Hollywood writers strike looming.

future on the hit Paramount series, his co-star Dawn Olivieri may have just fueled the drama. When asked by the Daily Mail about the rumors of Costner, 68, leaving the show, Olivieri, 42, responded: “Sometimes we have to own the fact that nothing is forever, and impermanence is the single thing we can count on, and that life is like that.”Costner and series co-creator Taylor Sheridan, 52, have allegedly butted heads behind the scenes, resulting in reports that the “Silverado” star may soon leave “Yellowstone.” Filming of the second half of Season 5 has reportedly been delayed in the meantime.The Post has contacted reps for Costner, Sheridan and Paramount for comment.A Paramount spokesperson told The Post in February, “We have no news to report.

Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies has been praised in early reviews, albeit with some caveats.The musical comedy series serves as a prequel to the 1978 classic Grease, taking place four years prior in 1954 to tell the origin story of the Pink Ladies girl gang.According to a synopsis, the show “follows four fed-up and misfit students who band together to bring out the moral panic that will change Rydell High forever and become the founding mothers of the first high school clique known as the Pink Ladies”.Ahead of the show’s UK premiere on Paramount+ on April 7, critics have released reviews of the show’s first four episodes which paint an encouraging picture.Entertainment Weekly, who awarded the show a B- rating, described the show as “uneven” but “when Rise Of The Pink Ladies leans in to this vision of the protagonists as equal-rights innovators, it sings”. It adds that these highlights are “too often muffled by a surplus of mostly forgettable music, overly long episodes, and lukewarm central love stories”.ScreenRant particularly praised the show’s cast and said the series “offers plenty of enjoyment” even if it doesn’t justify its existence: “Regardless of whether this is a show that needed to be made, Grease: Rise Of The Pink Ladies is an entertaining trip into Rydell’s past, and one that deserves some credit for facing thorny topics head on.”In a C+ review, Consequence was slightly more critical, saying that it suffers from being connected to the Grease IP.

What casting news could top Barry Keoghan joining fellow Irish actor Paul Mescal in Ridley Scott‘s upcoming “Gladiator 2“? Deadline has the answer.  Denzel Washington is in final talks to co-star in the sequel.

So, what’s the latest on “Star Trek 4“?  J.J. Abrams certainly sounds bullish on the film’s future.

Deadline’s unnamed sources who claimed the 68-year-old actor wanted to film the Western drama for 50 days for the first part of the season and only a week for the second batch of episodes.“The idea that Kevin was only willing to work one week on the second half of Season 5 of ‘Yellowstone’ is an absolute lie,” Singer told Puck News on Monday. “It’s ridiculous — and anyone suggesting it shouldn’t be believed for one second,” he added.

potential cancellation buzz surrounding the Paramount+ TV series.Rumors have swirled recently that star Kevin Costner may be leaving the Western family drama, with reports Matthew McConaughey could take his place.Bentley, 44, told TVLine that he has thought about what the show would be like without Costner as John Dutton.“I thought about this in Season 1 because it’s always a possibility in TV, right? We’re always ready to die,” the “Hunger Games” actor said.“Yellowstone” wrapped its fifth season earlier this year and is on hiatus until the summer.Bentley — who plays Jamie Dutton, the son of Costner’s John — noted how his character would be upset by the loss of his father because John “has got this hypnotic pull on Jamie.”“Jamie would have been completely lost. Maybe part of him would be frantic trying to take care of the ranch,” Bentley explained.
