What it meant in America, and wanting to see if there were similarities around the world, in what other countries considered their soul food.” She kicks off the series by tracing the roots of soul food to the legacy of African American cooking, starting in Mississippi, before she makes a surprising connection to Native Americans in Oklahoma. “There are things that I learned,” Reynolds said, “and things that I think some experts didn’t know, or the average black American, or the average American, for that matter.

Rosie O’Donnell once said, her job is “mostly to entertain and be funny” – but now, she’s focusing on kindness, too.In a new interview, the 61-year-old reflected on her time in the daytime talk show industry, giving some insight into what really happened behind the scenes.“We had a really wonderful working environment,” O’Donnell claimed of her own production, the “Rosie O’Donnell Show,” which ran from 1996 to 2002, while speaking to Entertainment Tonight. She continued, “But, you know, we were the first of that kind of show… [and] because we were the first one, and we had done it, and we had gotten so much acclaim in such a short time, you know everybody was happy.”The comedian also revealed that she cared about her staff who worked on her talk show, giving them off in the summers and even making sure that there was a nursery on staff for their children.While speaking to the outlet, she touched on the fact that sometimes, when there is animosity in the workplace, it’s what goes on off the set that can be an “influence” or even “exacerbate” the situation.“I also think it depends on what else you have going on in your life,” O’Donnell admitted.

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.

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.

Netflix hit “Bridgerton” now has a spin-off show, so that means there will be ball gowns, old-fashioned romance, and yes – lots of sex. As it turns out, “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” has the most outrageous and salacious scene yet. Spoilers ahead for episode 3 of “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.” Now streaming, “Queen Charlotte” is a “Bridgerton” prequel about the title character. The parent show, “Bridgerton,” which is the most-watched show in Netflix history, has two seasons and has been renewed through Season 4.

Red Table Talk” got the boot after Meta unplugged Facebook Watch’s original programming.The daytime Emmy award-winning show — hosted by Jada Pinkett-Smith, her daughter Willow Smith and mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris — tackled conversations about social issues with an inter-generational perspective, which led to Pinkett-Smith exposing the dark side of her marriage with Academy Award winner Will Smith.In 2020, the couple revealed to their 11 million Facebook followers that the “Girls Trip” actor had an “entanglement” — a relationship outside her marriage — with 30-year-old R&B singer August Alsina.She admitted her marriage was on a downfall, and the couple briefly separated, so “I got into a different kind of entanglement with August … it was a relationship, absolutely,” she revealed to her husband in the 12-minute video.After Alsina ended the entanglement with the 51-year-old actor, she began to repair her marriage to 54-year-old Smith, “We have gotten to that new place of unconditional love.”The Facebook series started in 2018 and ran for five seasons before being canceled.Each episode featured a notable guest, such as Hayden Panettiere, Jennette McCurdy, Jordyn Woods, Bobby Brown and the cast of “A Different World.”The talk show was one of the last to get unplugged after Mina Lefevre, head of development and programming at Meta, along with more than 20,000 employees were laid off, according to Deadline.Facebook Watch began scrapping its original scripted programming in 2020 after canceling “Sorry For Your Loss,” starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Biel.

“Twilight” and “Harry Potter,” will get TV series adaptations doesn’t mean you’ve time-traveled back to a decade ago.This still is 2023.The reboot culture in television has run rampant for a while — “Magnum P.I.,” “True Lies,” “Fantasy Island,” “Hawaii Five-0,” “Queer Eye” and “Cobra Kai,” to name a few.This month alone will offer upcoming small-screen adaptations of “Dead Ringers,” and “Fatal Attraction,” with A-list stars attached to each project (Rachel Weisz and Joshua Jackson, respectively). But at least those stories have been lying dormant for 20-odd years (or more) before their resurrection.But in turning to the early 2000s regarding “Twilight” and “Harry Potter,” Hollywood has gone too far in that “How can we miss you when you won’t go away?” vein.Let’s face it: not enough time has passed for either franchise from their first round in the spotlight.The last “Potter” film came out in 2011, while the last “Twilight” movie was released a year later, in 2012.

“Florida Man” memes that include news reports that have “Florida Men” engaging in absurd crimes spurring real-life headlines: “Naked Florida man leads cops on chase in stolen school bus” or “Florida man punches bobcat to save daughter’s dog.” On the show, this manifests in situations including an incident where Mike tries to save a woman from drowning on a beach — only to get be accused of assaulting her. On top of this indignity, he then get his unmentionables bitten by a shark … and the incident goes viral on social media.There’s also a plotline involving a dismembered dead man found in a storm drain. In theory, it’s a good idea to make a show around these notorious “Florida Man” headlines that have become ubiquitous punchlines.

Apple TV+ thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me.” Premiering April 14, the miniseries (executive-produced by Garner and Reese Witherspoon) is based on a bestselling novel by Laura Dave (and is co-written by Dave and her husband, Oscar-winning “Spotlight” screenwriter Josh Singer).The storyline follows Hannah (Garner), an artist and a newlywed who, for just over a year, has had what appears to be a great relationship with a widower, Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, “Game of Thrones”) — even though his churlish teenage daughter, Bailey (Angourie Rice), hasn’t warmed up to her new stepmother. When Owen mysteriously vanishes after a fraud investigation at his tech startup — “It’s like what they did at Enron,” Hannah’s friend Jules (Aisha Tyler) helpfully contextualizes — Hannah’s life gets turned upside down.

Amazon Freevee prank-comedy series that combines “The Office” and “The Truman Show” with a dash of “The Rehearsal” thrown in for good measure.“Jury Duty” follows a fake court case, complete with bumbling lawyers and oddball members of the jury, with one catch: only one of the jurors — Ronald Gladden, a solar panel contractor from San Diego — is not in on the ruse. His fellow “jurors” include self-important actor James Marsden (as himself), who’s trying to get the judge to recognize him so he can be excused from the trial; Jeannie (Edy Modica) a retail associate and self-proclaimed “anarchist”; and Todd (David Brown), so obsessed with hydrating that he straps a water bottle to his body.“I thought that would be a lot of fun to have the ability to send up Hollywood [and] entitled actors,” Marsden, 49, told The Post.
