Crews, who has hosted America's Got Talent since 2019, says as well as more backstage access, there'll be more than a few household names springing up in the wake of this entertainment goliath.
"We have one dancer who gave everything he had on this stage and he got he got a glowing recommendation from the judges. He didn't get a golden buzzer, but this dancer, I can't remember his name right now, but he gave everything."
"So much so," continues Crews, "that he jumped off the stage and he collapsed in my arms, in a fit of tears, of joy. And I thought, where else in the world can this happen?"

In addition to America's Got Talent Season 20, Crews also offered a tantalising update on the next season of beloved animated sitcom Everyone Still Hates Chris.
"We were so sad when it ended and we only were four seasons in," says Crews of the original live-action sitcom, Everybody Hates Chris, on which the animated show is based. Set in Brooklyn, New York, during the 1980s, it tells the story of comedian Chris Rock's childhood and adolescence.
"I really feel like it could go as the long as Family Guy or The Simpsons, and it's so funny. It's still has the same tone, the same characters...It's like the fact that this could happen. I just think it's incredible, man. It's over 20 years later. It's unprecedented, especially with the original characters. I don't think it's ever been done before."
Everybody Still Hates Chris Season 2 Release Date
Everybody Still Hates Chris Season 2 is set to release in 2025, but it doesn't yet have a release date. Everybody Still Hates Chris premiered on September 25, 2024 on Comedy Central.
Between starring in Everybody Still Hates Chris Season 2 and presenting America's Got Talent Season 20, Crews still has time for collaborations. The actor, former NFL athlete, and professional studio painter, is partnering with Starbucks Sunsera Blend, which you can now buy grocery stores in whole bean, ground, and K-Cup form. For him it's a match made in heaven.

"One thing that I love to do while I'm painting is have a coffee, and with the Starbucks Sunsera Blend it's just kind of the ritual that comes with painting and it comes with my artwork, with my sketching, and it's a beautiful ritual to have."
Crews, who previously made a living as a courtroom sketch artist, says he has one ambition that sadly looks unlikely to be realised.
"I wish I could go to the mall and sketch people like I used to, but right now I'm too famous. So anybody who saw me out there with pencils and paper and sketching people...I wouldn't be able to get away with it."

The high-profile trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs has referenced over a dozen of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, as testimony continues in the fourth week of proceedings. Why It Matters Combs is facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. What To Know While the names of many celebrities have been mentioned during Combs' trial, none are accused of any wrongdoing in connection with the criminal case. Sean "Diddy" Combs attends the Fragrance Foundation FiFi Awards on May 27, 2009. Sean "Diddy" Combs attends the Fragrance Foundation FiFi Awards on May 27, 2009. zz/Raoul Gatchalian/STAR MAX/IPx Kid Cudi Rapper Scott Mescudi, who goes by the stage name Kid Cudi, has been mentioned several times during the Combs trial. He also testified during the second week of proceedings. Mescudi started dating Cassie Ventura in 2011. Ventura dated Combs from 2007 to 2018. Mescudi said that he did not realize that Ventura and Combs were still together when they started dating. Mescudi alleged that Combs broke into his house in 2011 after he discovered Ventura's relationship with Mescudi. Mescudi also testified about a 2012 incident where his car caught fire in the driveway of his home. He said he asked to meet with Combs after the incident because he "knew he had something to do with it." The defense objected to the statement, and it was stricken from the record. Dawn Richard Dawn Richard, a former member of the girl group Danity Kane, also testified in Combs' trial. The group was formed on the reality show Making the Band. Combs was an executive producer of the show. Richard said she saw Combs attack Ventura as she was making eggs at Combs' home in Los Angeles. "He came downstairs screaming, belligerent," Richard said. She said Combs grabbed the skillet and tried to hit Ventura with it. Combs then grabbed Ventura's hair and dragged her upstairs, Richard testified. Michael B. Jordan The defense questioned celebrity stylist Deonte Branch about Ventura's relationships with other men while she was dating Combs, including actor Michael B. Jordan Nash said Ventura and Jordan were "dating, talking, getting to know each other." Prince Combs' former assistant, who used the pseudonym "Mia" during her testimony, stated that she attended a party at singer Prince's house with Ventura around 2011 or 2012. Mia said she convinced Ventura to go to the party even though Combs told them to stay home. She said they danced, hung out with friends, and Prince performed on a table. Mia saw Combs, who previously used the stage name "Puff," walking into the party. She and Ventura "booked it" outside the house. "Puff caught up to Cass and had her on the ground," Mia testified. Prince's security intervened. Rihanna Ventura's makeup artist, Mylah Morales, testified that she also worked for Rihanna for 13 years. During cross-examination, the defense showed Morales photos where she had done Ventura's makeup. This included a photo of Ventura, Rihanna and Ryan Lewis attending an awards show. Usher Richard said she saw Combs punch Ventura in the stomach at a restaurant in 2010 while other celebrities were present, including Usher. "She immediately bent over, [Combs] told her to leave," Richard said. "No one intervened." Ne-Yo Richard testified that singer Ne-Yo was also present when Combs punched Ventura at a restaurant in 2010. Nicki Minaj Ventura testified that she was given access to contacts in the music industry during her relationship with Combs. She said she recorded a song with Nicki Minaj. Lil Wayne Ventura said she also recorded a song with Lil Wayne while she was in a relationship with Combs. R. Kelly In a January 2019 message shown in court, Mia told Combs she had a nightmare where he rescued her after she was trapped in an elevator with singer and convicted sex offender R. Kelly. Chris Brown The defense questioned Ventura about an alleged encounter with singer Chris Brown during her testimony. "Do you remember the incident where he suspected you of dancing with Chris Brown?" defense attorney Anna Estevao asked Ventura. Ventura said she did not remember the incident, but she "was not dancing" with Brown. Mike Myers Prior to working for Combs, Mia worked as a personal assistant for comedian Mike Myers. Madonna Mia testified that she worked for Madonna for eight months after her employment with Combs ended. "I was hired to lead her film industry. It morphed into multiple roles," Mia said. Mick Jagger The defense questioned Mia about her time spent with various famous individuals during her employment with Combs. In messages to Combs shown in court, Mia described some of these encounters. One instance she recalled was spending a night in Paris with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. Jennifer Lopez In messages shown in court, Mia mentioned how Jennifer Lopez would not stay out with her and Combs. Morales also worked as a makeup artist for Lopez. Leonardo DiCaprio Mia said she once witnessed Combs playing poker with actor Leonardo DiCaprio. In a message, Mia wrote that Combs said the actor "does not know" anything about the game. Combs told her that he won $650,000, while DiCaprio won $10,000. Chadwick Boseman Mia messaged Combs in 2020 following the death of Chadwick Boseman. "Thinking of you with Chadwick Boseman," she wrote. Mia said Combs had been auditioning for the role of James Brown in the Get On Up biopic, which Boseman ultimately landed. Britney Spears Ventura said Britney Spears was among the celebrities in attendance at her 21st birthday party. She said the high-profile guests were there because of Combs. "That was all him. I didn't know them," Ventura said. 50 Cent Capricorn Clark, Combs' former assistant, testified about an instance where she accompanied Combs to do press at MTV. She said 50 Cent was there that day and Combs "had an issue with 50 Cent." Suge Knight Ventura testified that she told Combs not to do "anything stupid" when he went to confront Marion Hugh "Suge" Knight Jr. She said Damion "D-Roc" Butler informed Combs that Knight was at a local diner. Combs "quickly packed up and drove down there," Ventura said. Ventura said Combs and a bodyguard put on black clothing and armed themselves. When he got back, she said Combs would not tell her what happened or if he met Knight at the diner. What People Are Saying Cassie Ventura, during her testimony about Sean Combs' planned confrontation of Suge Knight: "I was crying. I was screaming 'Please don't do anything stupid.' I was just really nervous for them, what it meant, what they were going to do." Scott Mescudi, during his testimony about why he broke up with Cassie Ventura: "The drama was just getting out of hand." What Happens Next The trial, currently in its fourth week, is expected to last eight to 10 weeks. Combs is facing life in prison if convicted. Do you have a story that Newsweek should be covering?

Woman Adopts Two Rescue Sister Cats, What Happens in First Week Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A newly adopted pair of cat sisters have melted hearts on social media after a heartwarming video of their first week in their new home went viral. The clip shared on TikTok on Saturday, under the username @lillylucysisters, shows the two tabby cats, Lilly and Lucy, curled up in their owner's arms, purring with joy as they nap there together. "Imagine adopting two rescue sister cats... and this happens in the very first week. Can you imagine what my heart feels like?" reads layover text in the clip. And a caption says: "My heart was exploding." Adopting two cats from the same litter is a big decision that can go either way. They can provide each other with companionship and prevent loneliness, though this depends on their individual personality. A Catster article, medically reviewed by Dr. Maja Platisa, explains that kittens from around three to four weeks of age tend to get along up until they reach social maturity, between two and five years, after that things can change. Sister cats may bond closely or prefer solitude, with some engaging in cuddling and grooming, and others merely tolerating each other. Brother cats often compete for leadership. They can either become inseparable or have endless conflicts. The advantages of adopting two kittens from the same litter include having constant companionship, entertainment, warmth, and grooming, but most importantly always having a play mate by their side. To keep tension between them at bay, make sure they each have their own litter-boxes, and food and water bowls. You can also use pheromones to make the atmosphere in the house more chilled for them. A stock image shows two tabby cats napping together on the bed, curled up to each other.

One user, XENA, said: "Can you imagine what my heart feels like watching this with a cat who hates physical touch?! JEALOUS." wrote: "Hi! Just so you know, this is actually really dangerous because your heart may actually melt and/or cease to beat at the proper rhythm because of how sweet they are. Be careful!!" Rachcondi added: "This is all I want from my non affectionate cat but she looks at me like she is plotting my death." Newsweek reached out to @lillylucysisters for comment via email.
