For the first time in over three decades, an elegant house that's considered a 'crown jewel' has landed on the real estate market in Los Angeles, California. And it's one that's rich in Hollywood history. Listed for $10.895 million in Brentwood and surrounded by rose gardens, a 6,099-square-foot property that was once the home of two extremely famous starlets from Tinsel Town's heyday stands in all its glamour with its East Coast charm. 'Presenting a once-in-a-generation offering: the former residence of screen legends Deborah Kerr and Audrey Hepburn,' the listing on Sotheby's International Realty says. '685 Elkins Road is steeped in classic Hollywood history and timeless elegance. Tucked behind a private gate in one of Brentwood's most prestigious neighborhoods and nestled beside Brentwood Park, this stunning traditional-style home is the crown jewel of Elkins Road.'

Emmys Twist: Dept. Q Enters Drama Series Race at 11th Hour, Potentially Upending 2025 Contest (Exclusive)
Did Netflix just throw a grenade into the Emmy race for the second year in a row? TVLine has learned exclusively that Dept. Q, the Matthew Goode-fronted Scottish thriller that dropped May 29, just two days shy of the eligibility cutoff for this year's Emmys, is being submitted in the Drama Series categories. The acclaimed nine-episode mystery from Queen's Gambit auteur Scott Frank enters a crowded field that includes Severance, The Pitt, The White Lotus, The Last of Us and Netflix's own The Diplomat. More from TVLine Ginny & Georgia's Biggest Season 3 Finale Mystery Has Already Been Solved: 'There Was a Debate,' EP Says Virgin River Star Shares Season 7 Update: When Are New Episodes Coming to Netflix? Adolescence Rises to No. 2 on Netflix's All-Time Top 10, Passing Stranger Things 4 - And There It Will Stay If all of this sounds vaguely familiar it's because just one year ago Netflix similarly sent Emmy handicappers heads' spinning with the late-April release of Baby Reindeer. Richard Gadd's searing, semi-autobiographical dramedy — which appeared on the kudos scene a scant one month before the close of eligibility — went on to essentially sweep Limited Series categories at last September's Emmys. It remains to be seen if a similar fate awaits Dept. Q, which earlier this week hit No. 2 on Netflix's consumer-facing Top 10 chart and boasts an impressive 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (its critical score stands at a strong 84%). Dept. Q, based on the book series by Danish writer Jussi Adler-Olsen, centers on a cranky Edinburgh detective (played by Good Wife alum Goode) who sets out solve a cold case involving a missing prosecutor (played by Queen's Gambit alum Chloe Pirrie). In addition to possibly playing spoiler in the Outstanding Drama Series contest, Dept. Q is poised to be a contender in the acting races as well. A Netflix rep confirms to TVLine that Goode and Pirrie will be competing in the Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Lead Actress in a Drama Series categories, respectively. The show's supporting cast — which includes Boardwalk Empire vet Kelly Macdonald and Game of Thrones' Kate Dickie — is equally as formidable. Have you binged ?

Queens vs. schemes: Inside unscripted's Emmy battle royale
In 2024, the races for Best Competition Program and Best Reality Host were completely upended by a Scottish castle full of reality legends. Now for the juicy rematch: Will Peacock's The Traitors and host Alan Cumming scheme their way to the top again, or will RuPaul's Drag Race and host RuPaul Charles make a fierce Ru-turn to the stage? Drag Race is a five-time champion for series (2018-21, '23), while RuPaul has won the host category a record eight times (2016-23). For its recent 17th cycle, dubbed the "splashiest season in herstory," judges RuPaul, Michelle Visage, and cohorts searched for America's next drag superstar. A special twist allowed two lucky queens to stay in the competition, but only if they successfully threw a ball that dropped Visage into a dunk tank. More from GoldDerby Jay Duplass on exposing his 'dad bod' and playing a 'soft villain' in 'Dying for Sex': 'Easily one of my biggest acting challenges' 5 slots isn't enough: More limited series deserve a chance to compete with 'Adolescence' Laugh tracks: The state of the 2025 Emmy comedy race Onya Nurve won the season and the cash prize of $200,000, while Jewels Sparkles placed second. Both queens had America cheering all season long, especially in the Wicked-themed 'Rusical,' which required the contestants to sing, dance, and act on a moment's notice. "The drag gods watch over us," producer Tom Campbell tells Gold Derby about how it all came together so quickly. "It is a tireless, relentless pace ... we love the adrenaline." The Traitors aired its third season this year and went viral each week with its backstabbing and machinations. "It was absolutely the messiest group of Traitors we've had," executive producer Sam Rees-Jones tells us without hesitation, referring to Rob Mariano, Danielle Reyes, Carolyn Wiger, and Bob the Drag Queen, who turned on each other instead of the other competitors. "It was chaos in the turret, it really was." The competition was won by a record number of Faithfuls — Dylan Efron, Dolores Catania, Ivar Mountbatten, and Gabby Windey — who all trusted each other to the bitter end. Last year's Emmy-winning second cycle also saw a pair of Faithfuls claiming victory, which begs the question: Do Emmy voters prefer when good triumphs over evil? (In Season 1, a Traitor won the game and the show was snubbed in the top series race.) While RuPaul's Drag Race and The Traitors are out front, never count out The Amazing Race, which has a whopping 10 series Emmy wins to date. CBS' globe-trotter recently wrapped up Season 37 with professional gamers Carson McCalley and Jack Dodge claiming the $1 million prize, telling us, "It's like your life flashes before your eyes!" But, of course, what would a reality show be without a villain? Married parents Jonathan and Ana Towns, who placed third, struck a nerve with viewers for arguing repeatedly on camera. "You're going to see us fight,' they declared at the finish line, 'and that's just normal." This year, the big change for American Idol was the addition of Carrie Underwood, who went from Season 4 winner to Season 23 judge, sitting in between Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie. "Carrie has followed the show since she was on it 20 years ago," says showrunner Megan Wolflick. "When the seat became available, what better Cinderella story is there than Carrie Underwood?" The season culminated in Jamal Roberts becoming the first Black man to win in 22 years, proclaiming to us: "I'm anointed!" Emmy voters who love an international flare might prefer to cozy up to Top Chef, which filmed Season 22 in Canada. The show experienced a culinary shake-up last year with the addition of new host Kristen Kish, the fan-favorite winner of Season 10. "The show itself is a completely well-oiled machine — they have everything taken care of," she confesses. "For me, if you compare it to the first and second years on the job, it feels more familiar and comfortable ... the joints are looser." Survivor recently concluded its 48th season on CBS and had fans screaming "Emmy!" for the scene in which Joe Hunter helped the autistic Eva Erickson through a high-pressure challenge. That was an example of going "inside the emotion," Jeff Probst says of the moment that caused him to break down in tears for the first time ever. While Probst has taken home four Emmys as host (2008-11), the show itself has yet to win the top Best Competition Program category, which was launched in 2003.
