Copycat Harry is at it again... how many times is he going to pull the Mum card? William must be thrilled watching him pretend to be Diana: JAN MOIR

Daily Mail​17-07-2025

Why Bam Margera will not consider a Jackass reunion

Bam Margera has ruled out any return to the Jackass franchise, stating that the damage caused by past events is irreparable. He was dismissed from the 2022 film Jackass Forever, which led him to file a lawsuit in 2021 against the creators, including Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine. Margera alleged that his civil rights were violated, and he was coerced into a 'wellness agreement' before his firing. The lawsuit was resolved through a private settlement in 2022, but Margera confirmed he remains out of contact with Knoxville and Tremaine. He also stated that he would not consider remaking his MTV show Viva La Bam, believing the concept has run its natural course.

Rick and Morty is getting a spin-off at Adult Swim

Adult Swim has announced President Curtis, a new adult animated comedy spin-off based on the Rick and Morty character President Andre Curtis. Keith David will reprise his role as the titular character, leading the cast which also includes Stephanie Beatriz and Jim Rash. The series is co-created by Rick and Morty executive producers Dan Harmon and James Siciliano. The show will focus on President Curtis and his eccentric staff tackling various crises, such as interdimensional diplomacy and paranormal investigations, that 'Rick Sanchez' would typically ignore. While no release date has been announced, Adult Swim expressed confidence in the show's ability to stand on its own merits, separate from its Rick and Morty origins.
