Tony Awards draw best audience in 6 years for CBS
NEW YORK (AP) — The Tony Awards on Sunday lured 4.85 million viewers to CBS, its largest broadcast audience in six years, according to Nielsen's data. CBS said Monday the telecast — hosted by 'Wicked' star Cynthia Erivo — scored a 38% increase over last year's 3.53 million viewers. That's the largest audience for the Tonys since 2019, when the telecast that year nabbed 5.4 million viewers and ' Hadestown ' was crowned best new musical. The latest version also had to compete with the second game of the NBA Finals, between the Thunder and Pacers, CBS also said the awards show drew its largest ever streaming audience on Paramount+ but did not disclose streaming viewership numbers, only saying it was up 208% from last year. 'Maybe Happy Ending,' a rom-com about androids that crackles with humanity won best new musical on a night when Kara Young made history as the first Black person to win two Tonys consecutively for 'Purpose,' which also won best new play. Interest in the Tonys may also have been fueled by the competition in the best lead actress in a musical category, with Audra McDonald gunning for her record-setting seventh Tony and Nicole Scherzinger of 'Sunset Blvd.' hoping to be crowned a legitimate Broadway diva after a career in the pop group Pussycat Dolls and as a TV talent show judge. Other Hollywood names included in the telecast included George Clooney making his Broadway debut and 'Succession' star Sarah Snook being named best leading actress in a play for 'The Picture of Dorian Gray,' a one-woman show.

How You Can See the Strawberry Moon, the Lowest Full Moon 19 Years
Originally appeared on E! Online It's a bird, it's a it's a Strawberry Moon! This month's full moon is set to make its annual appearance overnight on June 10 to 11 and, while it always makes for a spectacular sight, this year's Strawberry Moon will be especially wonderous, as it will be the lowest full moon in nearly 20 years. The reason for this year's Strawberry Moon's exceptionally low peak—as seen over the eastern horizon from the Northern Hemisphere—is explained by its proximity to January 2025's Major Lunar Standstill, per Indeed, according to the outlet, that the phenomenon is a result of the ever-evolving inclination of the moon's orbit, which is dragged around every 18.6 years. (The previously most recent Major Lunar Standstill occurred in 2006.) As a result of the rare event, the Strawberry Moon will appear even larger and brighter than usual. While the moon will crest at 3:44 AM EST on June 11, it will be viewable starting in the early evening after sunset on June 10, according to More from E! Online Dakota Johnson Reveals Dating Non-Negotiable After Chris Martin Breakup Ryan Lochte and Estranged Wife Kayla Reid's Debt Revealed Amid Divorce Tony Awards 2025: George Clooney Gives Rare Update on His, Amal's Kids Ella and Alexander While the name "Strawberry Moon" conjures up red and pink hues, the name given to June's annual full moon actually has nothing to do with its color. Instead, the name stems from the fact that this time of year corresponds with the harvesting of strawberries in North America. Other regions have different names for June's full moon, like Honey Moon, Mead Mood and Blooming Moon. Adding even more intrigue to this year's Strawberry Moon is the fact that it'll share close proximity to the bright red star Antares, which is the Heart of the Scorpion in the constellation Scorpius that will also be visible near this month's extra-low full moon. For an optimal viewing experience of the rare full moon, experts suggest finding an unobstructed view of the eastern horizon, ideally on a hilltop outside of a city.

Taylor Swift Files Restraining Order Against Man, Claims Harassment
Originally appeared on E! Online Taylor Swift is taking legal measures to ensure her safety. The 'Karma' singer recently filed a temporary restraining order against a Colorado resident, Brian Jason Wagner, who she alleges has visited her Los Angeles home multiple times in the last year, stating she is now fearing for the safety of herself and her family in documents obtained by E! News. 'Mr. Wagner made various statements about living at my property (not true),' Swift wrote in a legal declaration obtained by E! News, 'being in a relationship with me (not true), believing I am the mother of his son (not true), and needing to see me in person, all of which are untrue and disconnected from reality.' In her declaration, Swift states that Wagner first visited her Los Angeles residence in 2024, returning to the property several times in July of that year, adding, 'On at least one of the occasions in July 2024, Mr. Wagner was carrying a glass bottle that could have been used as a weapon.' Wagner again visited Swift's Los Angeles residence last month, she alleged, writing in her declaration that he claimed he 'was there checking on a friend (again, this is entirely untrue).' More from E! Online Dakota Johnson Reveals Dating Non-Negotiable After Chris Martin Breakup Ryan Lochte and Estranged Wife Kayla Reid's Debt Revealed Amid Divorce Tony Awards 2025: George Clooney Gives Rare Update on His, Amal's Kids Ella and Alexander Swift—who is dating Travis Kelce—went on to detail that her security team had run a background check on Wagner, finding that he had been previously incarcerated and had written letters to Swift while in prison detailing 'at length about his infatuation with me, a romantic relationship with me (which does not exist), and other completely fabricated stories about his involvement in my personal life.' Her team also found that Wagner had allegedly somehow managed to update his driver's license with her own Los Angeles address, sent her staff 'hundreds' of threatening emails, and attempted to divert her own mail to his place of residence. 'I have no relationship with Mr. Wagner and I have never met nor communicated with him,' Swift continued in her declaration, noting that his recent May visits to her home have made the situation more dire, adding 'The fact that both of these recent visits and Mr. Wagner's inappropriate and threatening communications to my staff about me have escalated in recent weeks creates a fear of imminent harm.' Swift was granted a temporary restraining order in Los Angeles, which will bar Wagner from her home, places of work and vehicles. E! News has attempted to reach an attorney for Wagner for comment but has not yet heard back. This is just the latest time legal action has had to be taken against an alleged stalker of Swift. In 2024, a man was arrested outside of The Eras Tour July 17 concert in Germany. The man, who was not identified by name, had purchased a ticket for the show, authorities said, and was arrested upon his entry, with local police telling the Associated Press at the time they were, 'following tips from organizers of the event.' (He was kept detained until Swift left the city.) In recent months, Swift has been photographed spending time in Florida with Kelce as he prepares for the next NFL season, as well as time in New York. However, the 'Fortnight' singer has been open about never staying in the same place for too long. 'I try not to ever really say where I am, since all my addresses are on the internet," she told CBS Mornings in a 2019 interview. 'People tend to show up uninvited like dudes who think we have an imaginary marriage.' She emphasized the longstanding fear in her life, adding, 'I've had a lot of stalkers show up to the house armed.' For the latest breaking news updates, click here to download the E! News App
