George Lopez will exit the sitcom world once again as NBC canceled 'Lopez vs. Lopez' after three seasons
NBC cut the struggling sitcom on Friday, just days before the network was scheduled to pitch the company's future programming to advertisers, according to Deadline.
The jokester, who previously led the Emmy-award-winning 'George Lopez' show from 2002 to 2007, said he was 'grateful and thankful' for the show as he reposted a video of his daughter and co-star Mayan Lopez, 29, reacting to the cancellation.

The video was captioned 'When NBC cancels your show after 3 seasons,' as Mayan synced her lips to an audio clip of somebody saying, 'That was rude. That was pretty f–king rude.'
'We will definitely put something out officially… for now. I would really love to thank all of you who have showed us so much love and support for the past three seasons,' George said.

'This wasn't just a show, it was and is our lives. We created a family. We created jobs for RAZA, there is so much more that goes on behind the scenes and I am forever grateful and thankful for every single member of our #LopezVSLopez familia.'
George, Mayan, and Debby Wolfe created the comedy about a dysfunctional working-class family.
George and Mayan played a fictionalized version of themselves in the series alongside Matt Shively, Brice Gonzalez, Selenis Leyva and Al Madrigal.

Mayan, who doesn't have many acting credits aside from 'Lopez vs. Lopez,' claimed that this is 'just the beginning.'
'There's so much to say, and I'll say more after today, but it was my biggest dream to be on NBC and to be a Latina lead for three seasons, will forever be the crown achievement of my career,' Mayan wrote on Instagram.
George and Mayan were estranged from each other for nearly a decade before the younger Lopez posted a TikTok about her family dynamic as they reconnected and sparked the idea for the show.
'I posted a TikTok five years ago and @debbywolfe and @georgelopez we made magic. I'll always be grateful that you saw our vulnerability as a strength and made an incredible sitcom Debby.
'I'll say a more heartfelt post, but I think the entire casting crew who are now my family for. Thank you all who have reached out to me and especially the fans who have watched and loved the show as much as I loved making it. It is the Lopez way that we will not be down for long.'
NBC canceled several programs on Friday, including 'Suits LA,' 'Night Court,' 'The Irrational,' and 'Found' as it prepares to make room for the massive 11-year agreement with the NBA and WNBA starting in the 2025-2026 season.

Couple Book Flights to Destination Wedding, Then Have Awkward Realization
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 couple online made a proactive booking for a destination wedding in Buenos Aires—but were met with a surprise upon arrival. In a TikTok video posted by @sarliunlimited, the girlfriend posted about the mistake that led to an awkward, yet ultimately "priceless," six-day escapade spent deliberately avoiding the happy couple when they learned they weren't actually invited. "When our friends got married in Buenos Aires, my boyfriend was so sure we were invited, he booked flights and hotel," she captioned the video. "Turns out, it was immediate family only, so we spent six days hiding from them on the resort until they left, and to my knowledge they still have no idea we were there. Priceless." Stock photo: A couple prepares to fly together at the airport. Stock photo: A couple prepares to fly together at the airport. Prostock-Studio/Getty Images The revelation sparked amusement and confusion among TikTok users. "They'll find it funny and probably wouldn't have minded if they knew," one person wrote. "At least they know you guys are ride and die friends." Another speculated on the wedding party's intentions, suggesting, "Maybe they did that so not to put the travel expense expectation on everyone? Though, I think I'd have explained to my friends." This couple's unexpected hide-and-seek highlights a consistently growing trend in the wedding industry: destination weddings. According to The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study, based on a survey of nearly 17,000 recently married couples, destination weddings are quite common. A destination wedding is traditionally "defined as a ceremony and/or reception held outside the couple's hometown," according to The Knot, and requires travel for some, if not all guests. Destination weddings are often held in beautiful international locales. In 2024, 18 percent of couples opted for a destination wedding, proving it's a popular alternative to a traditional hometown celebration. Interestingly, though, The Knot's data reveals that only 18 percent of these destination weddings were considered tropical, and just 14 percent took place in a different country. This indicates that the majority of destination weddings today are domestic, what The Knot refers to as "domestination weddings." Experts predict that domestic destination weddings will continue to grow in popularity due to their ability to offer more tailored guest experiences. While the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is $33,000, a destination celebration averages $39,000, according to The Knot. However, destination weddings often have lower guest counts, leading to a higher cost per guest. Despite the rise of domestic celebrations, though, international destination weddings like the one in the creator's video remain popular. The Knot's data indicates Mexico was the most popular international destination at 34 percent, followed by Europe at 26 percent and the Caribbean at 21 percent. Destinations in Central and South America, like Buenos Aires, account for nine percent of international destination weddings. Newsweek reached out to @sarliunlimited for comment via TikTok.

Jury to start deliberating in Harvey Weinstein rape retrial
By Jack Queen and Jody Godoy NEW YORK (Reuters) -Jurors in Harvey Weinstein's rape and sexual assault retrial will begin deliberating on Thursday in a Manhattan court, weighing the credibility of the former movie mogul's three accusers against the defense's efforts to brand them liars. The Academy Award-winning producer and Miramax studio co-founder is accused of raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013 and assaulting two other women in 2006 and 2002. Weinstein, who has denied ever having non-consensual sex or assaulting anyone, has pleaded not guilty. The trial began in April. Weinstein, 73, is on trial for a second time after a New York state appeals court threw out his conviction in April 2024. He faces up to 25 years in prison for two counts of criminal sexual acts and up to four years for one count of rape. He is already serving a 16-year prison sentence after being found guilty in December 2022 of rape in California. Two days of closing arguments wrapped up on Wednesday, and state Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber will instruct the 12 jurors on the law before handing them the case. Prosecutors with the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg have portrayed Weinstein as a serial predator who promised career advancement in Hollywood to women, only to then coax them into private settings where he attacked them. 'He held the golden ticket, the chance to make it or not. He made each of these women feel small, no match for the power broker of Hollywood,' prosecutor Nicole Blumberg told jurors on Wednesday. Weinstein's defense lawyers have said his encounters with the women were consensual and accused them of lying about being raped after failing to make it big in Hollywood by sleeping with him. "They are lying about what happened. Not about everything, but about a small slice - just enough to turn their regret, their buyers' remorse, into criminality," defense lawyer Arthur Aidala told jurors Tuesday. Weinstein was convicted of rape by a Manhattan jury in February 2020, but the New York Court of Appeals threw out the conviction and ordered a new trial, citing errors by the trial judge. Weinstein had been serving a 23-year sentence in a prison in upstate Rome, New York, when the conviction was overturned. That conviction was a milestone for the #MeToo movement, which encouraged women to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct by powerful men. Weinstein has been held at New York City's Rikers Island jail since his conviction was overturned. He has had several health scares while being held at Rikers, and in September was rushed to a hospital for emergency heart surgery. More than 100 women, including famous actresses, have accused Weinstein of misconduct. He has denied assaulting anyone or having non-consensual sex. Miramax studio produced many hit movies in its heyday, including "Shakespeare in Love" and "Pulp Fiction." Weinstein's own eponymous film studio filed for bankruptcy in March 2018, five months after the original sexual misconduct accusations became widely publicized.

An overlaid text on the video read: "Them: OMG going to weddings when you're pregnant is the worst. Me:" The video's comment section quickly lit up with praise and laughter. Several comments came from women who could relate to having had a great time at weddings and similar functions, despite preconceived ideas that they would struggle to feel comfortable and have fun. "Replacing drinks for snacks has been so fun," one viewer said, while another added: "This was me at a Pitbull concert eating a Jimmy John's BLT." "I got married at 34-weeks pregnant [and] had the time of my life," a third viewer shared. "I have two weddings coming up and seeing this makes me so happy," another added. Despite the overwhelmingly positive response to the clip, a number of TikTok users shared that they have had opposite experiences while pregnant and out and about at rowdy events. "I was 27-weeks when I went and danced until midnight then went to bed and woke up with Braxton hicks contractions," one viewer said, while another added: "I overheat so easily at 28-weeks I wish this could be me but I'm a sweaty mess." "I'm 22-weeks and was dancing like this at a festival and I swear I was so out of breath," another commented. "I would've gone into labor," another said. "You go girl."
