Here are all of the celebrities Trump has pardoned so far
President Donald Trump added to his list of pardoned celebrities this week, including reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley and rapper NBA Young Boy. Trump's pardons and commutations over the course of his first and current terms in office feature a number of public figures, including several rappers and an actor who participated in the Jan. 6 riots. Here's a list of celebrity pardons granted by Trump so far. Todd and Julie Chrisley The stars of "Chrisley Knows Best," which ran for 10 seasons on the USA Network, were released from prison Wednesday after being granted their presidential pardons. The Chrisleys were convicted in 2022 of swindling $36 million out of banks in the Atlanta area and committing years of tax evasion. Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to 12 and 7 years, respectively. The president claimed the pair were "prosecuted because they were celebrities.' NBA YoungBoy Rapper NBA YoungBoy, whose legal name is Kentrell Gaulden, was pardoned by Trump on Wednesday. Gaulden was sentenced to 2 years in prison in 2024 after acknowledging he possessed weapons despite being a convicted felon, according to the Associated Press. "I want to thank President Trump for granting me a pardon and giving me the opportunity to keep building — as a man, as a father, and as an artist," the rapper said in a statement posted to social media on Wednesday. Rod Blagojevich The former Illinois Governor was pardoned on February 10 following convictions of wire fraud, lying to an FBI agent, extortion attempts and soliciting bribes more than a decade ago. Blagojevich was impeached and removed from office in 2009. But in between trials and before receiving his 14-year sentence, Blagojevich also appeared on Trump's reality TV show, "Celebrity Apprentice," as a contestant in 2010. Trump previously commuted Blagojevich's sentence in 2020. Jay Johnston The "Anchorman" and "Mr. Show" actor and comedian was one of the 1,500 pardons and commuted sentences Trump issued in January to those involved with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Johnston was sentenced to 12 months and 1 day for obstructing officers during a civil disorder, a felony offense, in October. Even before his sentencing, Johnston lost his role voicing a character on the animated show "Bob's Burgers." Lil Wayne Hip hop star Lil Wayne, whose legal name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was one of Trump's 143 last-minute pardons and commuted sentences of his first term. The "Lollipop" rapper pleaded guilty to a federal weapons charge in December 2020 after carrying a handgun on a private jet from California to Florida. Carter was previously convicted on felony weapon charges, making it illegal for him to possess firearms under federal law. Carter is also the founder and CEO of record label Young Money Entertainment. Kodak Black Rapper and singer Kodak Black, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was pardoned alongside Lil Wayne at the end of Trump's first term. The "No Flockin" singer was sentenced to 46 months in prison on federal weapon charges after admitting he falsified information on federal forms to purchase firearms, obtaining two handguns and one semi-automatic weapon.

Fox One is a new streaming service that should launch before September
Fox is releasing its very own streaming service, according to a report by Variety . It's appropriately called Fox One and the company plans to launch the platform by the start of the NFL season, which is in early September. This will be something of a one-stop shop for Fox content, as it'll air sporting events like NFL games, traditional TV shows and, of course, Fox News programming. CEO Lachlan Murdoch, son of Rupert, says it will be "holistic of all of our content, sports and news." Finally, a platform for both Bob's Burgers and angry rants about men with painted nails or whatever. — FOX Sports PR (@FOXSportsPR) May 12, 2025 Fox is a fairly decent network for sports. There are NFL games on Sunday afternoons and a spate of MLB and LIV Golf events. However, if you want to stream every NFL game, you'll need a combination of several platforms. Matches air on Peacock, Prime Video and ESPN, among others. Disney is also planning a standalone streaming platform for sports, which will just be called ESPN. This all-access streaming service should launch in the near future, with availability and pricing details arriving this week . There seems to be some confusion regarding the potential price of Fox One. Murdoch suggested today that it "will be healthy. It will not be a discounted price." However, in February the CEO said the cost would be "relatively low." We'll have to wait and see. All of these new streaming services are popping up after the demise of Venu Sports. This platform was supposed to be a joint effort by Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery and would have allowed access to sporting events from all over the cable landscape. It was preemptively axed back in January . If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission.

Speaking on Seasoned Sessions, Estelle revealed that she loves cartoons (Bob's Burgers is her fave), and back in 2012, she told her team that she was really interested in venturing into voice acting. After asking about animation roles for six months, she got the call about a character that was described as a 'big sister,' and immediately said, 'I could do that, I'm a big sister in real life.' Estelle auditioned for both Garnet and Amethyst, and was told, 'Between your accent, the deepness of your voice, and the sarcasm; this is it.' The came about a few years after Estelle released the music video for her song, 'Freak,' where she took on the persona of a motherly figure on a mission to instil confidence in her children. Well, after securing the role of Garnet, Estelle learned from Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar that she actually based the character on her music video. 'She was based on how strong the character [in the 'Freak' video] looked,' Estelle shared – and you can see the similarities in the way Garnet's drawn. So, with Garnet being based on a character of Estelle's creation, the team approached her for an audition to see if she wanted to take on the role. And of course, the rest is history: a casting match made in heaven! You can listen to the full chat with Estelle below, and all episodes of Steven Universe are on Netflix, if you fancy a rewatch.

UK Presenter Gregg Wallace 'Considered Suicide, Following Tidal Wave Of Abuse' After Behavior Complaints
Former BBC presenter Gregg Wallace has defended himself in his first interview since stepping down from his hosting duties following complaints about his behavior and language behind the scenes. Wallace left his high-profile hosting gig on the BBC's MasterChef in November 2024, and this weekend he told the Daily Mail newspaper the 'tidal wave of abuse' he received left him considering suicide, thinking, 'Is my insurance up to date? Will [Wallace's wife] Anna get some money? She doesn't deserve this. It would be better if I wasn't here.' More from Deadline BBC Employees Keep Jobs After Sexually Harassing Colleagues Fox Summer Premiere Dates: 'Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service', 'MasterChef', Thursday Animation Block With 'Bob's Burgers', 'Family Guy' & More Leaked Emails Show BBC Chiefs' Concern Over Confidence In Bullying, Harassment & Whistleblowing Procedures An investigation by BBC News – which works independently of the BBC's programme makers – revealed allegations o f inappropriate sexual comments by 13 people who had worked with Wallace across a range of shows, over a 17-year-period. Since then, further claims of 'groping' and 'touching' have emerged, all of which Wallace has strenuously denied, adding that he had phoned several co-presenters and guests who had supported his version of events. He told the Daily Mail he'd realised about seven years ago that the brash, energetic, outspoken greengrocer persona he first brought to his hosting duties was no longer appropriate, and he changed. He also referred to his recent autism diagnosis of which, he said, 'I'm not blaming my behaviour on my diagnosis, but it does explain a hell of a lot to me.' MasterChef's production company Banijay has also launched an inquiry into the historical allegations. Both investigations have yet to report their findings. When he stood down while the BBC investigated the claims, Wallace arguably made things worse for himself by posting a video on social media, in which he said 'the allegations came from 'a handful of middle-class women of a certain age.' At that point, even the UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer called the presenter's remarks 'inappropriate and misogynistic.' The BBC has since announced that the show will return with Wallace replaced by restaurant critic Grace Dent.
