Is Dancing With the Stars Rigged? Producer Speaks Out
Dancing With The Stars is about to debut its 34th season on ABC and apparently the show is pulling in bigger audiences than ever—and battling rumors that it's rigged. Executive producer Ryan O'Dowd just sat down for an interview with Deadline, who wasted no time asking about the "small contingent of fans who accuse the show of being fixed." "We take that very seriously," Ryan said. "We have never, nor would we ever do anything to manipulate the votes. The show really needs to be credible. It needs to allow the viewers to have a voice and to really be the voice of who deserves to win. So we have never nor would we ever want to manipulate that in any way." Ryan was also asked about the possibility of doing a live show for the West Coast and East Coast, and shut that down pretty fast. "Many years ago, I worked on a singing show called Rising Star for ABC, and it became unbelievably challenging to produce," he said. "We would essentially have the live show for the east coast and central viewers and then we would stay and produce another live result. There was a West coast save element to that format and the juice wasn't worth squeeze, to be honest. I think we are always looking for ways in which we can include the west coast in a more meaningful way. It's just proven to be very difficult." Noted!

And Just Like That Season 4 - News, Cast, Updates, More
While Sex and the City is a beloved, ground-breaking show that fans still rewatch today. It's sequel series, And Just Like That, is loved for different reasons. The series is so wacky and so distinct from the original, that it's addictive in its own way—it's hard not to tune in to find out what totally unexpected or unreasonable thing is going to happen next. (Plus, there's still some great fashion to take in!) So, if you're excited about the third season, you're not alone, and if you're already wondering if there is going to be a fourth, that's understandable. Hell, at this point, let the story of Carrie Bradshaw continue on as long as possible. Here's what we know about the future of And Just Like That. As reported by Deadline, And Just Like That was renewed for a third season in August 2023, only a couple of days before the season 2 finale. At that time, the show was only renewed for one season, so there is no official announcement about a fourth season yet. The good news? If HBO Max follows a similar pattern when it comes to announcing the fourth season, we'll find out very soon. Season 3 premieres on May 29, and according to The Hollywood Reporter, the finale will air August 14. So, maybe we'll get an announcement in August? Love. Friendship. Aging. Family. New York City. Shoes. You know, the usual. It's impossible to know at this point what the specific storylines would be, because season 3 isn't over yet. I mean, season 2 ended with Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and Aidan (John Corbett) breaking up and making some sort of vague deal that they'd reunite after five years when his kids were grown up. Didn't see that one coming, so anything can happen! The third season focuses on Carrie, Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Seema (Sarita Choudhury), and LTW (Nicole Ari Parker.) We know that Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) and Nya (Karen Pittman) are not returning, so it seems unlikely that they'd be back for a potential fourth season. We also know that Dolly Wells and Sebastiano Pigazzi are returning after joining in season 2, so if their connections to Miranda and Anthony (Mario Cantone), respectively, continue on, maybe they'll be back for season 4, too. And while we got a glimpse of her in the season 2 finale, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) will not be back. Well, probably. In July 2024, Cattrall responded to a post on X (formerly Twitter) about her returning for season 3. She wrote, "Aw that's so kind but I'm not" and added a kiss emoji. Fourth season's a charm? Doubtful. If there is a fourth season of And Just Like That, it's hard to know when it will be released. There was a year-and-a-half gap between the first season and the second, and then there was a two-year break between the release of the second and the third seasons. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, there was a delay in production of season 3 due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA strikes. So, unless there's another delay, maybe season 4 would have a faster turnaround. For now, take in all that season 3 has to offer, including Carrie becoming a fiction writer, flirtations with new love interests, and rats. Yes, rats. That's new, huh?

ZZ Top's Frank Beard Returns to Band Following Health-Inspired Leave of Absence
ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard has announced his return to the band, more than two months after unspecified 'health issues' necessitated a leave of absence. Beard's return was announced via a statement from the group's management, noting that the drummer will return to his rightful place behind the kit this weekend, and will 'see the tour through to its completion in October.' More from Billboard The Amity Affliction Cover Turnstile's 'Holiday' for 'Like a Version' Mariah Carey Celebrates 20 Years of 'The Emancipation of Mimi': Stream It Now Miley Cyrus' New Album 'Something Beautiful' This Way Comes: Stream It Now 'We're happy that Frank is back with Elwood [Francis, bassist] and yours truly, BFG,' vocalist and guitarist Billy Gibbons explained. 'We missed him and are looking forward to turning it up and rocking out with him as has been the case for the last few hundred or so decades. His complete recovery is cause for celebration and that's just what we intend to do on an open-ended basis. Welcome back, pardner!' Beard himself was far more concise, simply telling fans, 'It's good to be back. See you out there.' The 75-year-old drummer's leave of absence was announced on March 15, with a social media post from the group explaining that Beard had 'temporarily stepped away from the current tour to attend a health issue requiring his focus in the near term.' During Beard's time away from the band, 'longtime tech member, percussionist and drummer' John Douglas stepped in. Douglas had previously served as Beard's replacement during a Paris performance in October 2002 when he underwent an emergency appendectomy. Though no specifics were revealed at the time, ZZ Top's recent statement has detailed that Beard was suffering from foot and ankle issues which have since been resolved. ZZ Top are set to return to the stage on Saturday (June 1) to resume the North American leg of their ongoing Elevation tour, which currently features 51 dates between June and October. Beard has been the drummer of ZZ Top since 1969, when he took over from co-founder Dan Mitchell. Alongside Gibbons, Mitchell and bassist Lanier Greig had founded the band that same year. Following Grieg's replacement by Billy Ethridge, Dusty Hill assumed the role of bassist in 1970, with their lineup remaining unchanged for 51 years until Hill's death at 72 in 2021. Elwood Francis has since served as the group's bassist. The group have not released a studio album since 2012's La Futura, though Gibbons has claimed a new record featuring contributions from the late Hill is in the works.
