'Suits LA' Fans Say the Spinoff "Never Had a Chance"
It's official: NBC has cancelled Suits: LA ahead of the May 18 finale. This week's episode sees the return of Louis Litt (Rick Hoffman), a fan-favorite from the original series.
The original Suits was a hit on USA Network before finding a resurgence on Netflix, so viewers had high hopes for a spinoff. But, with a cast of new faces instead of the original actors, it never got off the ground. According to Deadline, viewership was stuck around 1 million per episode, and wasn't a hit on Peacock either.

NBC shared a clip from the May 12 episode on Instagram and sparked a heated debate in the comments section. Many fans expressed their disappointment at the cancellation, but some viewers blamed fans who were stuck on the original series and never gave the spinoff a chance.
"Congratulations to everyone who didn't accept a spinoff. Who didn't understand the the success of a spin off just strengths the legacy of the original series. That it means we can always expect to see the original cast returning even when the actors are working on new projects. Now it's canceled. I guess that's what you wanted. So congratulations 👏🏽"
"Fans ruined it for everyone else. Never gave the show a chance and the last 3-4 episodes have been amazing. This show has so much potential. Hopefully it gets renewed through Netflix or we get a Suits Seattle with Harvey Mike and Donna"
"I love this show and it's not fair it got canceled. If you want the OG Suits, go watch the original. This expansion deserves more seasons."
"Sad to hear about the cancellation. Really liked the show."
"The big mistake was trying to create something completely from scratch. Since they could bring back the original characters, they should've just continued the original story, but from the perspective of a new character — one who interacts with familiar faces and situations from the original series."
"Loved the show. I pray to god they will never reboot Suits OG just so the fans don't get what they want. What a shame to the fans for not giving this a chance, y'all ain't a true fan"
"So gutted, the fans absolutely killed this one. It's all on the fans."
Another Suits spinoff, the Gina Torres-led Pearson, was also canceled after just one season. It might be time to admit that nothing can capture the allure of the original.

Brian McKnight receives backlash for statement following estranged son's death
Brian McKnight addresses the narrative around his complex family dynamics and gives his side of the story. Brian McKnight has broken his silence following the death of his estranged son Niko McKnight, who died at 32 last week after a battle with cancer. However, the R&B singer's statement did not appear to hit the right note with fans. Tuesday evening, the 55-year-old singer took to Instagram to address his son's death and call out some of the narratives around his family dynamics being pushed by others online, in particular by his brother Claude McKnight, who was among the first to publicly announce Niko's death. 'A big big thanks to Claude McKnight's tasteless and self aggrandizing announcement on TikTok, that frankly was not his to make,' his lengthy post began both in the caption and as a voiceover in a video. 'In my opinion, he inserted himself and used Niko's death as an opportunity, instead of letting him pass with respect and dignity. It has instead turned into a circus, a mockery of a life now lost, making this tragedy into a reality show type drama.' After Niko died, McKnight said he and his family traveled to Maui to celebrate his life with a private memorial where they remembered 'all the good times' they shared. Then he recalled a not-so-rosy memory. 'The last time he and I spoke, we offered him all the help we could provide; we had the number one oncologist on deck for him and a team of specialists on standby with private care in our home. He and his mother declined,' McKnight claimed. 'The door of communication was open and remained open until his death.' The McKnight family's complex dynamics have been well known for years. In 2024, the singer made headlines when he referred to Niko and his siblings as 'products of sin' to justify distancing himself from his first four children upon remarrying. Niko, who was battling cancer at the time, pushed back against his father's statements on social media and highlighted past grievances and instances of hurt. His mother, McKnight's ex-wife, singer Julie McKnight, called the comments emotionally and mentally abusive. At the time, McKnight accused Julie of barring him from contributing to Niko's care, which she called a false narrative. Meanwhile, Niko posted on X that he just wanted to hear from his father during such a trying time. 'When I was about to die in the hospital from complications from my cancer, I just wanted to bury the hatchet and hear him say he loves me and he told me he couldn't arbitrarily tell me he loves me,' he posted. 'Still cuts so deep.' In his post on Tuesday, McKnight doubled down that he was denied the ability to help his son. 'To the self-proclaimed 'mama bear, ' may God have mercy on your soul for not allowing him to accept that help and not allowing him to use that line of communication,' he continued. 'There is great comfort in knowing God knows the TRUTH and the totality of the WHOLE story. I am truly thankful for the immense peace God has given me. I've left everything in HIS hands. I have a clear conscience. The only judgment that matters is God's.' Comments have been turned off on the post, though that hasn't stopped many from expressing their thoughts on the fraught statement. Many social media users have been calling out the statement for being more about McKnight than the actual tragedy, for putting down a mother mourning her son, and more. 'For everyone saying that we don't know the whole story, that's not the point,' wrote a user on Threads. 'The point is, his son just died of cancer, and he used this video to talk about himself and take shots at people – rather than expressing grief and celebrating his life. This video is literally about him, not Niko.' A user on X added, '…if you are speaking poorly on the mother of your child and blaming everyone else but yourself while your late son isn't even buried in the ground yet, I am wishing you the worst!' McKnight is a father of eight, including his biological and stepchildren. After sharing Brian Jr. and Niko with his ex-wife Julie, he also has a daughter, Briana McKnight, and another son, Clyde McKnight, from other past relationships. In 2017, he remarried to Dr. Leilani Malia Mendoza and has welcomed a son together in January 2023 named Brian Kainoa Makoa McKnight Jr. (The singer changed his legal name to match that of his most recent son.) The couple, unfortunately, experienced the loss of a child in infancy, and he is stepfather to Mendoza's two children from a previous relationship.

Kris Jenner Reacts To Kylie Jenner's Boob Job Comment
Kris Jenner commented after Kylie Jenner revealed the plastic surgeon behind her breast augmentation. Earlier this week, Kylie surprised many by responding to a TikTok and revealing the exact procedure and doctor (Garth Fisher) she had. Kylie has been open about having had at least one boob job when she was 19, which she has since expressed regret about. Perhaps the reveal of Garth is unsurprising, given that he refers to himself as "The Kardashian Family Plastic Surgeon" on his website (he also did Kourtney's breast augmentation). Indeed, the site reads, "The Kardashian family likes to work with Dr. Fisher for his caring attention and outstanding, red carpet ready results." However, Garth still took to Instagram to write, "I'm honored to be acknowledged by Kylie—her kind words were unexpected but truly appreciated. Patient confidentiality has always been the foundation of my practice. Over 3 decades, we've never had a single breach. My entire team is thoroughly trained and bound by strict NDAs and confidentiality agreements." "This is more than policy—it's our culture. HIPAA (patient privacy) laws are in place to protect patients, and I will never discuss any details of a procedure or procedures unless the patient has chosen to share them or given me permission to discuss. Every patient is unique. This isn't 'cookbook' surgery—it's thoughtful, personalized care," he continued. But then who should pop into the comments? None other than Kris herself. She wrote, "Garth you are such a superstar class act!! You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid… you have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!! ❤️🙏🏼." First facelift. Here's the thing: I don't think the Kar-Jenners really ever do something out of the pure kindness of their hearts. They've lied and obfuscated about the cosmetic work they've had done in the past. Which makes me think their sudden candor is a sign of something else being afoot. We'll probably have to tune into season 1 million of The Kardashians to get clarity on that one.

McDonald's reveals official date for fan favorite Snack Wrap launch
Many popular chicken chains thought they had gotten ahead of the McDonald's Snack Wrap rerelease by launching their own, but none compare to the original's fame. The McDonald's Snack Wrap was introduced nationwide in 2006 and quickly became a fan favorite. However, after nearly a decade, the company ultimately discontinued it due to operational issues in 2016. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The Snack Wraps consist of crispy chicken, shredded cheese, and lettuce, all wrapped inside a tortilla. Although this might have been the best decision for the business at the time, customers begged McDonald's to bring back the Snack Wrap for years, causing the fast-food chain to return it for a limited time across select locations nationwide in 2020. Related: McDonald's teases return of item fans have long clamored for But fans' joy was short-lived because the Snack Wrap again disappeared from the McDonald's menu by the end of that year. Years passed without no mention of the Snack Wrap until McDonald's (MCD) announced in February that it was planning the nationwide return of the popular menu item, along with other chicken-focused offerings. It didn't provide a specific date for the relaunch, however.

The post created mass speculation around the potential date for the relaunch, with many trying to guess the official date and some even claiming they had figured it out. Still, McDonald's didn't confirm any rumors. After months of teasing the Snack Wrap relaunch, McDonald's has finally announced the official date, and it's only a few weeks away. The fast-food giant revealed via an Instagram post featuring a carousel of photos that Snack Wraps will be available nationwide across all McDonald's locations beginning July 10, writing "snack wrap 07.10.2025." However, this official date doesn't match the tease McDonald's posted a few weeks back. The photos explained the surprising change of plans, with screenshots of a typed Notes app note.

"Today I woke up with an even greater feeling of gratitude and pride because finally after 9 years, I get to announce the day the Snack Wrap returns. I know I posted 0x.14.2025 a few weeks ago but I wanted to see if they could come back even sooner. So I asked the boss and he said 'OKAY LET'S DO IT?!?!!'" writes the note. "It's the honor of my lifetime to finally Snack Wrap is back because of YOU. See you 07.10.2025," they added.
