Watch: Mariska Hargitay tries to understand late mom in 'My Mom Jayne'
1 of 3 | Mariska Hargitay learns about her late mom, Jayne Mansfield, in the new documentary "My Mom Jayne." File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo June 3 (UPI) -- HBO is previewing My Mom Jayne, a documentary about Jayne Mansfield, as told through the eyes of her daughter Mariska Hargitay. Hargitay, 61, an actress best known for playing Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU, is the younger daughter of Mansfield, a Hollywood star who died at age 34 in 1967. "I've spent my whole life distancing myself from my mother, Jayne Mansfield, the sex symbol," Hargitay says in the trailer, out Tuesday. "Her career made me want to do it differently. But I want to understand her now." "I was three years old when my mom died, and I don't have any memories of her," she added. The documentary sees Hargitay interview her half-siblings to learn more about their mother. She also sifts through letters, photos and other things that had belonged to Mansfield for insight. In addition, Hargitay addresses her parentage -- the actress learned in her 20s that Italian singer Nelson Sardelli, not Hungarian bodybuilder and actor Mickey Hargitay, is her biological father. Hargitay was raised by Mickey Hargitay. "She grapples with her mother's complicated public and private legacy, uncovering the surprising layers and depth of who Jayne was, not only to her fans, but also to those closest to her," an official synopsis reads. My Mom Jayne will air on HBO and stream on Max June 27.

Howie Mandel to host Toronto-shot ‘Price Is Right' spinoff for Citytv
TORONTO - Come on down, eh! A Canadian spinoff of 'The Price is Right' headlines Rogers' new slate of Canadian originals coming to Citytv. The media giant says Toronto-born comedian Howie Mandel will host a reimagining of the U.S. game show, helmed by Drew Carey south of the border. Production begins this December in Toronto, with the show airing in spring 2026. While the Bob Barker-hosted original was a daytime TV staple, Rogers says it plans to make a prime-time evening version of the show, which has a working title of 'The Price Is Right Tonight.' 'It's important to us when we take on a format that there's a reason to Canadianize it and I think for 'Price Is Right,' there were a lot of reasons that it made sense,' says Kale Stockwell, head of original programming for Rogers. 'I love that idea that any Canadian can be picked out of the audience and brought on stage. I think that is so fun and maybe it's missing from other game show formats. So we thought the opportunity to engage the audience directly was really important.' Stockwell noted that the show is part of Rogers' broader relationship with Fremantle, the British production house that licenses Citytv's 'Canada's Got Talent' — where Mandel is a judge — and other popular game show formats. 'The Price Is Right' has had numerous international spinoffs over the years, including 'Le Juste prix' ('The Right Price') in France, 'OK, il prezzo e giusto!' ('OK, The Price is Right!') in Italy and 'Atinale al precio' ('Hit the Price') in Mexico. Citytv's upcoming Canadian productions also include a one-hour red carpet special in September celebrating the 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, led by Arisa Cox of the defunct reality series 'Big Brother Canada.' Rogers is the presenting partner of the upcoming movie marathon, set to mark its half-century milestone Sept. 4 to 14. Slated for winter is a third season of the police procedural 'Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent,' which won the Canadian Screen Award for best drama series on Sunday. An eighth season of cop-and-dog drama 'Hudson & Rex' will premiere this fall, with 'Game of Thrones' star Luke Roberts joining the cast. 'Breakfast Television' will continue its Ontario-wide morning broadcast with Dina Pugliese and Tim Bolen at the helm. Among the new U.S. imports coming to Citytv is the NBC competition series 'On Brand with Jimmy Fallon,' which follows 'The Tonight Show' host as he launches a marketing agency and searches for creative talent to join his team. Also on the slate are 'Surviving Earth,' an eight-episode prehistoric docuseries exploring past mass extinctions, and 'The Making of Wicked,' a one-time live special hosted by the blockbuster musical's stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, airing this fall from the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. Reality hits returning this summer include new simulcast seasons of ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise,' 'Celebrity Family Feud,' 'The Golden Bachelor' and 'Dancing with the Stars,' and NBC's 'America's Got Talent.' NBC dramas returning in simulcast include 'Brilliant Minds,' 'Law & Order' and 'Chicago Med.' Rogers also announced new U.S. titles coming to its specialty lineup, which features several new brands. Last June, Rogers announced landmark multi-year deals with Warner Bros. Discovery, securing Canadian rights to top lifestyle brands — including HGTV, Food Network and Discovery — previously held by Corus Entertainment and Bell Media. New on HGTV is 'Chasing the West,' which sees Drew and Jonathan Scott help families adapt to ranch life in states including Arizona, California and Texas. HGTV's 'Condemned,' meanwhile, follows a father-daughter duo as they attempt to rescue some of Detroit's most rundown homes. HGTV will also feature new seasons of home renovation favourites include 'House Hunters,' '100 Day Dream Home' and 'Help! I Wrecked My House.' Bravo will introduce reality series 'The Real Housewives of Rhode Island' and 'The Valley: Persian Style,' while FX adds star power with drama series 'The Lowdown' starring Ethan Hawke and horror series 'Alien: Earth' featuring Sydney Chandler and Timothy Olyphant. Returning shows on Bravo include new seasons of reality hits such as 'The Real Housewives' franchises, 'Below Deck Mediterranean,' 'Vanderpump Rules' and 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.' The Food Network will dish out fresh servings of 'Chopped,' 'Holiday Baking Championship,' 'Halloween Baking Championship' and 'Bobby's Triple Threat.' Guy Fieri is back too, with new episodes of 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives' and 'Guy's Grocery Games.' Discovery will air new seasons of 'Homestead Rescue,' 'Expedition X,' 'Expedition Unknown,' 'The Last Woodsmen' and 'Street Outlaws.' Splashy TV event Shark Week will return for its 37th year in July. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 3, 2025.
