Oh, and Billie may or may not be the key to preventing the apocalypse. No big.

MobLand: Who Should Run the Show in a Potential Season 2?
Paramount+ hasn't yet renewed MobLand for a second season. But as Tom Hardy's Harry proved time and again in the show's inaugural run, it helps to stay a few steps ahead of the game. More from TVLine MobLand Finale Recap: The Harrigan Rat, Revealed! Plus: Grade the Episode Criminal Minds: The Surprising Story Behind That Shocking Will Scene Criminal Minds: A.J. Cook Opens Up About JJ's Loss, Her Real-Life Sons Playing 'Big Emotions,' and Negotiating That Brief Cameo So with that in mind, we've pulled together a little power ranking ahead of a potential Season 2. Season 1 wrapped Sunday with an episode that revealed the identity of the family's mole (R.I.P., lawyer O'Hara!), put a permanent end to the family's biggest competitor (R.I.P., Richie Stevenson!) and outed Conrad as Eddie's biological father (R.I.P., Kevin's sense of loyalty!). By the end, both Maeve and Conrad were behind bars — though eyeing a speedy release — and Kevin had declared himself the new head of the family. In case you missed the finale, you can read a full recap here. Below, scroll through the Harrigan (and Harrigan-adjacent) characters who were not offed during the show's first season; our choice for Season 2 boss is at the very bottom. Scroll through, then hit the comments with the character you'd pick and why! We feel for Jan and Harry's teen daughter, whose schooling and social life was uprooted thanks to her father's choice of profession. But snogging Eddie Harrigan shows an exceptional lack of common sense. And after all, she's just a kid! Her inclusion on this list is merely academic: She's not in the running to take anything over (except maybe her GCSE Psychology exam). Much like his daughter, Harry's wife never signed up for a life steeped in danger and crime, and likely has zero designs on getting in deeper than she currently is. She's not exactly cut out for the secrecy and isolation (see also: Alice), though — as the final moments of the season finale and Harry's bloody pec showed us — she's not above a little violence, unintentional though it was. Tattersall is a highly intelligent, if incredibly dirty, cop who rode the Stevenson gravy train to its final stop. Now that Richie's dead, who's to say that Tattersall won't ingratiate himself into the Harrigan organization in Season 2? And once inside, whose to say he couldn't mastermind a takeover of his own? A lot of characters, his wife included, spent Season 1 talking about how Conrad Harrigan is no longer the man he once was. And maybe that's true: His behavior was erratic at best all season, and his temper tantrums tended to end in body counts. Plus, does the guy have a blind spot for Maeve or what? Still, we wouldn't count Pierce Brosnan's character out in Season 2: The man that had his entire cell block cheering for him at the end of the finale has still got a lot of juice left in his lemon. He's so rich that very little has meaning, and he's so violent that committing murder at his grandmother's behest didn't faze him a bit. Now that he knows he's been lied to about his parentage for his entire life? We easily could see Conrad's grandson — er, son — funneling all of his aggression into a play to head the family… backed, of course, by his twisted, doting Nan. Let's call a spade a spade: Maeve pretty much ran the Harrigan family for the entirety of Season 1. Who had Eddie kill Tommy? Who encouraged Conrad to kill Archie? Who was behind Vron's explosive death? Who wasn't afraid to put her own son in danger in order to exterminate Seraphina? The answer to all of these questions is the brassy broad who belted 'Twenty Men From Dublin' even as police were taking her into custody. Maeve has the smarts and the cunning to assume control of the family business — but more importantly, she's got the do-anything swagger/borderline psychotic nature necessary for the job. Before the Season 1 finale, we probably would've cast a vote for Kevin to take the top spot: He seemed the most even-keeled of the Harrigan children, and his conscience also seemed the most intact. We… wouldn't cast that vote now. Kevin is clearly having a delayed (though highly warranted) reaction to the rape and trauma he experienced as a much younger man, and that stew of emotion seems to be guiding every choice he's making — including out-and-out threatening his father's seat of power in the family. Did we love seeing Kev stand up to his lecherous old man? We did. Do we think it bodes well for him once Conrad is no longer behind bars? No, no we do not. Harry's hired henchwoman is street-smart, efficient and effective. She knows her role and does it well. While it would be a huge jump to Harrigan CEO, we could easily see her slipping into Harry's position if/when he ever ascends within the organization. As Pierce Brosnan told us earlier in the season, Harry 'is my son, in some regards,' and the Harrigan family fixer would be Conrad's pick if the old man was pressed to choose a successor. Can you blame him? Harry is smart, discreet, tough, strategic and incredibly loyal — even when it puts the lives of his family in danger, as it did during that season-ending conversation with Kat. Perhaps Harry's best attribute? He's not a shoot-first-think-later hothead, as so many of the Harrigans are, which instantly puts him well ahead of the competition. Conrad's love child got herself into a spot of bother with that whole Antwerp debacle, which was borne of the probably-not-wise choice to go into business with her feckless brother, Brendan. But aside from that, we love that she seems to have her father's killer instinct but very little of the family loyalty that so often proves a weakness. Take that conversation with Kat in the season finale, for instance: Boss move! While we agree with Brosnan that Harry likely will wind up running the Harrigan empire, we wouldn't mind watching Seraphina take it for a spin in Season 2.

What is Selena Gomez's net worth?
(NewsNation) — Between Selena Gomez's mental health startup, her makeup brand and her entertainment ventures, how much is the former Disney Channel star worth? Some outlets are putting her net worth at $1 billion. However, Forbes claims that she hasn't yet reached billionaire status. Bloomberg had reported near the end of 2024 that Gomez's net worth was $1.3 billion. They reported that this was largely due to her makeup line, Rare Beauty. However, Forbes believes that Gomez's net worth is only around $700 million. 'King of the Hill' voice actor fatally shot: Reports Her biggest asset? Definitely her stake in Rare Beauty, which is allegedly estimated at 51%. Rare Beauty products are only sold on its website and in Sephora stores. In 2023, a California state filing showed that Rare Beauty brought in $367 million in revenue. Forbes valued Rare Beauty at around $1.3 billion based on information from beauty industry analysts. One analyst with Morningstar, Dan Su, told Forbes, 'The market condition right now is exerting a sort of downward pressure on valuation. And honestly, makeup is a category, in my view, where the entry barrier is relatively low. So there's a lot of competition.' Forbes recently published a report stating that Gomez's mental health startup, Wondermind, has been facing financial issues. The startup has allegedly failed to pay employees, vendors and freelancers over the past few weeks, with one source claiming that nine employees were laid off. This leaves only four employees at the company. Wondermind was started in 2021 by Gomez, her mother, Mandy Teefey and Daniella Pierson, who left in 2023. Forbes reported that the startup had owed tens of thousands of dollars (or more) in debts, but the company has said those have been repaid. Forbes reported that, at the end of March, employees didn't receive a paycheck. They also received an email that stated their health benefits had been terminated two weeks before. Payroll was allegedly missed again on April 30. Gomez started her career at 10 years old when she played Gianna on 'Barney and Friends.' However, her big break came from her role as Alex Russo in Disney Channel's 'Wizards of Waverly Place.' She even recently reprised that role in the reboot, 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.' Gomez reportedly had $90 million in gross earnings over several years from her TV shows, movies, music, brand endorsements and more. According to E! News, Gomez made $30 million from a Puma collaboration and around $24 million from the Hulu series 'Only Murders in the Building.' Gomez is also a singer, releasing her first album in 2008. She went on a hiatus until her most recent album in March, which she collaborated on with her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Despite this, she hasn't done a tour since 2016. Gomez purchased a home in Tarzana, California, for an alleged $2.175 million in July 2011. Jonah Hill owned the home, which has five bedrooms and five bathrooms, before Gomez. In May 2014, Gomez listed the home for $3.495 million and allegedly sold it in October of that year for $3.45 million. Also in 2014, Gomez paid $3.69 million for a home in Calabasas. She did end up selling that home, which you can view a video tour of here: In 2015, the actor and singer moved to Fort Worth, Texas, eventually selling the home for $2.4 million in 2020. However, in 2017, she spent $2.249 million on a home in Studio City, California. She sold it a year later for $2.3 million. Forbes reported that Gomez paid almost $5 million for her home in the Encino neighborhood of L.A., where she has filmed multiple seasons of 'Selena + Chef.' Then, this February, Gomez and Blanco reportedly paid $35 million for a home in Beverly Hills. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Tom Llamas is officially NBC's new top newsman. Llamas made his debut as anchor of the NBC Nightly News on Monday, taking over for departing anchor Lester Holt, who signed off on Friday after a decade behind the anchor's desk.

Holt announced in February that he was stepping down as NBC Nightly News anchor, a role he's held since 2015. Moving forward, he will focus on NBC News' Dateline, which he has anchored since 2011. 'After 10 years, 17 if you include my years on the weekends, the time has come for me to step away from my role as anchor of Nightly News,' Holt said in a statement to NBC staffers. 'It has truly been the honor of a lifetime to work with each of you every day, keeping journalism as our true north and our viewers at the center of everything we do.' Llamas, whose ascension to the Nightly News anchor chair was first reported in March, has served as a senior national correspondent for NBC News and reported for NBC Nightly News alongside Holt.
