Eva Pilgrim to take anchor's chair on 'Inside Edition'
Charles Lachman, executive producer of the newsmagazine series, announced Pilgrim will be joining the show as the series' anchor in the fall.
Pilgrim most recently served as Senior National Correspondent and co-anchor of GMA3: What You Need to Know for ABC News.
"We feel like we won the jackpot to have Eva join our team as the next anchor of Inside Edition," Lachman said. "She has solid news chops from her years as a reporter and anchor in national and local news, plus a warm relatability that resonates with audiences. We look forward to having a journalist of her caliber take Inside Edition into its next chapter."
Norville announced in April that she would be stepping down after 30 years in the anchor's chair.
"It has been an honor and a privilege to be here at Inside for all these years. A milestone like this is a time for reflection and on reflection I've decided that now is the time for me to move on from Inside Edition," she said on the show.

Christopher Reeve's son Will details 'Superman' cameo, leak
Even Superman couldn't dodge this spoiler. Will Reeve, the look-alike son of late actor Christopher Reeve, has opened up about filming his cameo for the latest 'Superman' movie – and how he learned that the short scene was leaked online. 'I shot my cameo in July 2024, and I was supposed to fly out the evening before with my then-girlfriend, now fiancée [Amanda Dubin], for a nice evening, and then shoot the next day and go home,' Will, 33, exclusively told The Post. 'But we got rained out.' Advertisement 20 Will Reeve at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Superman' on July 7.

They announced the news on Instagram late last year. Advertisement 'We were at Newark Airport, flying to Cleveland, where they filmed a lot of the exteriors for 'Superman,'' Will continued. 'We got rained out, and I'm looking at my maps app timing out how long it would take to drive.' 'I'm so used to in my day job when you have an assignment or a story, or you have to be in a certain place for a certain time for live television, you get there however you can,' he added. 20 David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel in James Gunn's 'Superman.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection 20 Christopher Reeve as the Man of Tomorrow in 'Superman: The Movie' in 1978.

'So I was calling some folks on the 'Superman' team,' Will recalled. 'Saying, 'Hey, I'm walking over to the rental car center. Hopefully, we'll be there before midnight. I'll be ready to go tomorrow.'' 'And they finally were like, 'Will, you can come whenever it's convenient,'' he said. ''It's gonna take 20 minutes.'' 20 Will Reeve and his fiancée, Amanda Dubin, at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Superman on July 7.

Warner Bros. via Getty Images After successfully arriving at the set, Will met with 'Superman' director James Gunn and was given a tour of 'everything that went into [Gunn's] unique dream of this new iteration of Superman.' Will then got into character and stood behind the cameras to shoot his cameo – but unlike his real-life job as a news reporter, he had to get used to filming multiple takes of a scene. 'I got takes, which I'm not used to in my day job doing live television for ABC News,' he explained.

'There were no quote-unquote actors, and I'm putting actors in air quotes because I am not an actor, but no principal actors were shooting that day. They were doing mostly exteriors and things with extras.' While Will's cameo was successfully shot without a problem, he hadn't even left Cleveland for New York City before learning that his surprise appearance in the movie had leaked on the internet. Advertisement 'I went on set, I did my thing for a few minutes, and then got in the car to head back to the airport to go home,' Will laughed. 'And by the time I had gotten to the gate, it had leaked online that I had a cameo.' 20 Will Reeve at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Superman' on July 7.

Advertisement 'I will not tell you what my line was,' he shared. 'But I can tell you that I was playing a close approximation of myself.' Will also said that being able to appear in the new 'Superman' movie was 'such a treat' not just for himself but also for the legacy of his late father. 20 Margot Kidder as Lois Lane and Christopher Reeve as Superman in 'Superman: The Movie' in 1978.

'And it was a nice homage, I think, to my dad, who for millions of people has been Superman for generations, and for the filmmakers of this new version of Superman,' Will added. 'To include me as a way to include him meant a lot.' After providing one of the most iconic portrayals of Superman to hit the big screen in 1978's 'Superman: The Movie,' his late father returned to the role three more times for 'Superman II' (1980), 'Superman III' (1983) and 'Superman IV: The Quest for Peace' (1987). 20 Christopher Reeve soaring through the sky as Superman in 'Superman: The Movie.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 20 David Corenswet as Superman in James Gunn's new 'Superman.' ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Will was just 12 years old when his father died from heart failure in 2004 at the age of 52. His mother and Christopher's wife, Dana, passed away from lung cancer two years later at 44. Christopher's devastating passing came nine years after he was paralyzed from the neck down following a horse-riding incident in May 1995. Besides honoring the late Reeve by having his youngest son cameo in 'Superman,' the cast and crew of the Peter Safran-produced movie paid tribute to the iconic actor by screening a documentary about his life before shooting kicked off. 20 Will, Christopher and Dana Reeve at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival on May 7, 2004, in New York City.

Getty Images 'Right before this cast and crew of this new 'Superman' began principal photography, they gathered to watch 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,'' Will revealed. 'Some of the actors have told me that watching that helped them contextualize and better understand how much it meant to get this movie right,' he continued. 'And to do right by not only the fans who love this character and this franchise, but also loved my dad, and knowing how much playing Superman meant to my dad as well.' Will said that he and his two siblings, Matthew Reeve, 45, and Alexandra Reeve Givens, 41, 'really were touched' to learn that the cast watched the documentary before shooting the new movie. 20 Christopher, Dana and Will Reeve at the Hollywood Walk of Fame in April 1997.

See Your Deals As for the new 'Superman' movie, Will said it is 'everything that a great superhero blockbuster movie can and should be.' 'It's just so fun,' he shared. 'I think that Superman, the character, is a bit quirky and slightly corny, earnest. Pure of heart, so on and so forth. And that shines through.' 'I think that's what made my dad's version so resonant with audiences back when it came out and through to the present day,' Will noted, 'because he played the character as it was ideally conceived, and really, he embodied it.' 20 Nicholas Hoult, Rachel Brosnahan and David Corenswet attend the Los Angeles premiere of 'Superman' on July 7.

Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Nicholas Hoult (Lex Luthor), Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern) and Skyler Gisondo (Jimmy Olsen) round out the cast. 'I don't know what it's like to play Superman, but from what I can tell, there's a trick you have to pull off,' Will concluded. 'And I commend David for doing that, and for picking up the torch.' 'Superman' is now in theaters.

HBO Max is teasing the documentary "Billy Joel: And So It Goes." Photo courtesy of HBO Max July 11 (UPI) -- HBO Max is previewing the upcoming documentary Billy Joel: And So It Goes, arriving on streamer in two parts, on July 18 and July 25. The trailer released Friday shows the music icon reflecting on both his career and personal life. "I think music saved my life," he concludes. "It gave me a reason to live... Everything I've done and everything I've lived through has somehow found it's way into my music." The singer, 76, recently canceled his tour following his diagnosis with a brain disorder known as normal pressure hydrocephalus or NPH. The documentary will include never-before-seen performance clips and showcase "the hidden complexities" of Joel's life. "From his childhood on Long Island, shaped by the absence of his father, to his first bands, the women he loved and the colleagues and collaborators who both supported and betrayed him, Joel's decades of songwriting mirror his rich, complicated autobiography," the official synopsis reads. The documentary premiered June 4 at the Tribeca Film Festival. Billy Joel celebrates 100 lifetime performances at Madison Square Garden Billy Joel sits at a piano that will be a permanent fixture at Madison Square Garden. The permanent display will serve as a tribute to Joel's legacy. Joel's 100th lifetime performance comes 40 years after his first MSG performance, on December 14, 1978, and just four and a half years after he began his legendary residency. | License Photo
