Iconic Entertainment News Outlet E! News Cancelled After 32 Years On Air
Sadly, the E! News TV broadcast has reportedly been cancelled after 32 years on air due to the higher demand for real-time digital coverage and plummeting viewership of its 11 pm broadcast. The news outlets will still, however, air new episodes of their original series till 25th September 2025.
Previously, E! News went on an indefinite hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, before returning to television screens 2 years later. Despite its comeback, E! has continued to prioritise its online news platform, particularly social media, to meet the growing demand for real-time entertainment news. This shift has left the E! News television programme somewhat misaligned with the network's digital-first strategy.
E! News staff were informed of the cancellation on 24th July, as the network will still continue to have a presence on Hollywood red carpets. Original series and new episodes from the entertainment news hub will continue to air till early 2026, but will shift to digital platforms inevitably. Additionally, its 'Live From E!' coverage at The Critics' Choice Awards will air on E! on 4th January 2026.

Pedro Pascal hopes to give Marvel bounce with Fantastic Four reboot
The Fantastic Four actors Pascal (left) and Kirby play a superpower couple in the movie who's ready to welcome their child into the world. — AP American-Chilean actor Pedro Pascal stars as a stretchy Earth saviour in Marvel's latest blockbuster The Fantastic Four: First Steps , out now at cinemas, that will test the appetite for more superhero films. After wielding a sword in Gladiator 2 and a gun in The Last Of Us , the 50-year-old plays the elastic Mister Fantastic alongside the character's wife, the Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), his best friend the Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and his brother-in-law the Human Torch (Joseph Quinn). The film is set in a retro-futuristic New York and is hoping to do better than previous reboots of the franchise which have struggled at the box office. The plot sees Mister Fantastic and his wife overwhelmed with joy at a long-hoped-for positive pregnancy test before their lives are upended by news that Galactus, a galactic Godzilla-like character who devours planets, is heading for Earth. While such apocalyptic threats are nothing new in the Marvel universe – or in previous Fantastic Four films – the pregnancy storyline is a rare twist in the world of superheroes. 'Motherhood is something that you can incorporate in all areas of your life, it affects every area of your life in a beautiful way,' Kirby told journalists at a recent press event in Paris. In his double role as superhero and doting dad, Pascal continues to shape his image of a thoughtful, emotionally intelligent man that fuels his popularity. 'I'm not original by any means when it comes to human decency,' he told reporters in Paris, adding that treating people and himself with respect was 'a human thing and I think a very, very basic and beautiful standard to live by'. Previous versions of the Fantastic Four franchise from the Marvel stable – which includes X-Men, the Avengers, Iron Man and Spider-Man – have been resounding flops. A 2015 remake made just US$168mil (RM708.29mil today) at the global box office. Variety magazine wrote that the latest incarnation 'succeeds where earlier attempts have faltered – and good thing, too, since the studio has a lot more riding on this franchise now'. Marvel movies would earn 'upwards of US$1bil (RM4.22bil) at the box office' at their peak, 'but they've lost steam of late', the magazine noted. Marvel has struggled this year to score with audiences, with its biggest releases Thunderbolts and Captain America: Brave New World struggling for acclaim. – AFP
