E! News canceled after 32 years as network shifts focus to digital platforms
After more than three decades on air, E! News has been canceled once again. The iconic entertainment newscast will end its run on September 25, 2025, as the E! network shifts its focus toward digital and social media platforms. The cancellation comes three years after E! News was revived following a two-year hiatus. Originally a daytime show, the program returned in 2022 as a late-night broadcast, airing at 11 p.m. The decision to cancel the show reportedly comes from E! executives who believe the late-night format no longer aligns with modern audience demands for real-time digital content. A source from the network cited the brand's strong digital presence—with 87 million followers across platforms—as a key factor in the pivot. The E! network is currently transitioning as it spins off from NBCUniversal and merges into a new publicly traded company called Versant, formerly known as SpinCo. Employees of E! News were informed of the cancellation on Thursday. Around 20 staff members were affected, though some correspondents may transition to roles within Versant in yet-unknown capacities. Despite the cancellation, E! will continue to produce original series such as Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind and Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour. The network also plans to maintain a red carpet presence with Live From E! and will air the Critics Choice Awards on January 4. The end of E! News marks a significant shift in celebrity news broadcasting, as legacy programs give way to fast-paced digital formats.

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Season 2- Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 12, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 12, 2025, 10:54 IST Oh, Stars Hollow, how we've missed you! Ever since Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life dropped on Netflix in 2016, fans have been sipping coffee faster than Lorelai Gilmore, hoping for news about a second season. That jaw-dropping finale—Rory's 'I'm pregnant' bombshell—left us all desperate for more. So, what's the latest on Season 2? Here's everything we know so far. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Season 2 Potential Release Date Trying to guess a release date without an official announcement is like predicting Miss Patty's next dance class theme—pure speculation. Some sites, like , tossed out November 2025 as a possible date with four new episodes, but there's no proof to back it up. The first A Year in the Life was announced in January 2016, filmed by spring, and dropped that November. If Season 2 gets the go-ahead in 2025, we might be looking at late 2026 or even 2027, especially since the cast's schedules are busier than Luke's diner on a Friday night. For now, keep your eyes on Netflix's socials for the real scoop. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Season 2 Expected Cast If Season 2 happens, we're crossing our fingers for our favorite Stars Hollow residents. Here's the lowdown on who might return: Lauren Graham (Lorelai Gilmore) : Lauren's practically married to Lorelai's fast-talking charm. In a 2021 Collider interview, she said she'd play Lorelai forever if she could. She's teased chats with Amy about new stories, so we're hopeful she's in. Alexis Bledel (Rory Gilmore) : Alexis has been super quiet about Season 2, but Rory's baby bombshell makes her return a must. In 2017, she and Lauren said no plans were in place, but fans are dying to see Rory as a mom. Scottish Patterson (Luke Danes) : Scott's all about more Gilmore Girls . At the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, he pitched a wild idea: Luke and Lorelai with kids, Jess as their nanny. Sign us up for that chaos! Kelly Bishop (Emily Gilmore) : Emily's sharp wit stole the show in the revival, and Kelly's memoir, The Third Gilmore Girl , shows she's still tied to the Gilmore world. We'd bet on her coming back. The Stars Hollow Gang: Keiko Agena (Lane Kim), Milo Ventimiglia (Jess Mariano), Matt Czuchry (Logan Huntzberger), Jared Padalecki (Dean Forester), Liza Weil (Paris Geller), and Sean Gunn (Kirk Gleason) all popped up in 2016. Amy's said she wants to give Lane a better storyline, so maybe we'll see more of her band or family life. Sadly, Edward Herrmann (Richard Gilmore) passed away in 2014, so Emily's story would keep reflecting that loss. Melissa McCarthy (Sookie St. James) was a cameo queen in the revival due to her packed schedule, but she might sneak in again if the stars align. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life Season 2 Potential Plot That pregnancy cliffhanger has fans losing sleep. Who's the dad? Most signs point to Logan, given Rory's fling with him in the revival, but Amy's keeping mum. Picture Rory juggling motherhood and her career—maybe with a Stars Hollow twist, like babysitting at the Dragonfly Inn. Amy's also got big plans for Lane. She's hinted at feeling Lane's revival arc was too small, so we could see more of her rocking out with Hep Alien or dealing with mom life. Imagine Mrs. Kim mentoring a K-pop group—that's the kind of quirky we need! Lorelai and Luke, now married, deserve some screen time to show off their wedded bliss (or bickering). That 2024 Walmart ad with Lauren, Scott, and Sean as Kirk gave us a taste of their chemistry, and Scott's dreaming of a big wedding party for fans. Emily's arc could dig deeper into her life after Richard, maybe with more of those raw therapy scenes with Lorelai. Reddit fans have tossed out ideas like Emily babysitting Rory's kid, who'd probably have the Gilmore sass dialed up to eleven. It's fun to think about a new generation stirring things up in Stars Hollow. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Pedro Pascal proves that A-list celebrities have the same worries, woes, and quirks as the rest of us
No matter who you are, your body will start to slow down and Pascal is no exception. Indeed, having the world's eyes on you and being complimented on your universal sex appeal at the Critics Choice Awards, can be jarring, as Pascal recalls: 'I was in a sling, I was overweight, and when the camera cut to me, I didn't think anything could be further from the truth.'

Pedro Pascal claims that he didn't feel like a heartthrob while shooting The Materialists: ‘The weakest I'd ever felt'
Jun 26, 2025 11:07 AM IST Pedro Pascal, the internet's favourite zaddy, is known for breaking necks (and hearts) in everything he's been in: The Last of Us to Game of Thrones. But in a new interview with Vanity Fair, the 50-year-old actor revealed that stepping into the role of a romantic lead in The Materialists — Dakota Johnson's buzzy new comedy — wasn't exactly a smooth ride. Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal in The Materialists Pascal, who plays a Manhattan 'catch' opposite Johnson's high-powered matchmaker, admitted he felt physically and emotionally drained going into the shoot. 'It was the oldest I'd ever felt in life,' he confessed. 'It was the weakest I'd ever felt. It was such a scary, fraudulent thing to feel like I could play somebody who was the catch of Manhattan.' After a painful back injury on the set of Gladiator II (2024), and falling down the stairs in his dad's house in Chile, Pascal said he still couldn't do a push-up when filming began. Despite the physical setbacks, he pulled it off so well that even the interviewer couldn't resist telling him how dashing he looked on screen, prompting a burst of relief from Pascal. 'You think I'm hot in it? Thank God!' The role marked his first outing as a romantic lead, and it's clear the vulnerability of that experience left a mark. Though Pascal has become something of a meme magnet for his offbeat charm and universal appeal, he says the public perception doesn't always match how he feels inside. Recalling Chelsea Handler's viral compliment about his sex appeal at the Critics Choice Awards, Pascal admitted, 'I was in a sling, I was overweight, and when the camera cut to me, I didn't think anything could be further from the truth.' Underneath the internet's favourite thirst trap is a man still wrestling with impostor syndrome. Who would've thought?
