‘Bonkers!': Ginnifer Goodwin Reflects on Once Upon a Time Musical Episode Anniversary — WATCH
When I most unexpectedly reunited with the age-defying Ginnifer Goodwin on the Disney Upfront's blue carpet earlier this month, I had recently gotten a Facebook 'memory' about the Once Upon a Time musical episode, which aired eight years prior (and for which I was on-set, in March 2017). So after talking a bit about her voice acting encore as police rabbit Judy Hopps in Disney's Zootopia 2 (due in theaters Nov. 26!), I had to invite Ginny to reflect on OUAT's 'The Song in Your Heart,' which aired May 7, 2017, saw her duet with husband Josh Dallas' Charming, and teed up that season's two-part finale.

For one, she had a nine-year-old at her hip (her and Dallas' second-born child, Hugo). Plus, 'I was terrified' about singing on-camera, she admits. 'It was a big deal for me to not go running.' We then give props to Dallas' own pipes, which were put to good use in the musical episode's opening number, 'Powerful Magic.' For 'The Song in Your Heart,' OUAT creators Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis enlisted songwriters Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner to hash out the grand plan, which led to seven original tunes being penned: 'Powerful Magic,' 'Love Doesn't Stand a Chance' (led by Lana Parrilla), 'Revenge Is Gonna Be Mine' (led by Colin O'Donoghue), 'Wicked Always Wins' (Rebecca Mader), 'Charmings vs. Evil Queen' (Goodwin, Dallas and Parrilla), 'Emma's Theme' (Jennifer Morrison), and the #CaptainSwan wedding song 'A Happy Beginning' (ft. Morrison, O'Donoghue, Goodwin, Dallas, Parrilla, Mader and kinda-sorta Jared Gilmore). 'I said that in theory I was keen' on doing a musical episode, Goodwin told me on-set back in 2017, 'but the truth is when it became a reality I grew terrified, and asked if I could be a doo-wop girl in the background.

Jimmy Kimmel Is a Grandpa! Late Night Host's Daughter Katie Welcomes First Baby, a Girl
Jimmy Kimmel is officially a grandpa! The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host, 57, became a grandparent after his daughter Katie welcomed her first baby — a girl — with husband Will Logsdon. Their happy news was shared by Kimmel on Tuesday, May 20, during his talk show's opening monologue. 'The baby's very healthy," he said, before revealing his granddaughter's name. "Her name, they gave her a very cute name. Her name is Melania,' he joked, adding, 'It's Melanie Thee Stallion…" He went on to give his granddaughter's real name: Patti Joan. The newborn's first name is "like the melt, but with an 'I' not a 'Y,' " Kimmel said, while her middle name, Joan, comes from his mother's name. Kimmel had been absent from Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, May 19, the day Katie's gave birth. 'We were supposed to have a show last night, but we didn't because my daughter had a baby last night," Kimmel explained at the top of the show. "My oldest daughter – you know, people don't realize, people that know I have two little kids, they don't know I have to older kids. My oldest daughter, she's 83-years-old. Her name is Katie. Katie and her husband Will had a baby girl right at the time we shoot our show last night. So I decided to be there instead here." It was the second time Kimmel had skipped a show in 22 years. The last was when he had his appendix out. Plenty of people were by Kimmel's side for his daughter's big day. "We had an army of people at the hospital, it was bigger than Coachella," Kimmel teased. He gave extra praise to longtime sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez. "You were such a great doula," he joked. "You were reassuring, you were calm, your hands were soft, you were perfect. Thank you so much, on behalf of the whole family." Kimmel shares daughter Katie, 33, and son Kevin, 31, with ex-wife Gina Maddy. He is also dad to son Billy, 8, and daughter Jane, 10, whom he shares with wife Molly McNearney. At the Disney Upfront on Tuesday, May 13, Kimmel revealed that his daughter was pregnant and about to give birth to his first grandchild. "My daughter, my oldest daughter, is about to have a baby. I'm holding for applause," Kimmel said in the pre-recorded sketch. "I assume I'm getting applause, applause, applause, thank you. I'm going to be a grandfather." He joked that his grandchild's naming rights were up for offer at the event.

Katie tied the knot with her husband Logsdon in September 2021. Kimmel opened up about Katie's ceremony when he stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "She actually turned 30 two weeks ago, which is strange to have a 30-year-old daughter," he said. "And she is getting married this weekend, as a matter of fact, which is a big deal." As host Ellen DeGeneres congratulated him, Kimmel said: "Yeah, I guess." "People keep saying congratulations," he continued. "I don't know what I'm being congratulated for. Congratulations on raising a human that is attractive enough to be taken by one person. It's not like we were trying to get rid of her, you know? It's not like we're selling a houseboat on eBay or something like that. But I guess congratulations is the thing." Kimmel also confirmed that he does indeed like Katie's spouse Logsdon. "People ask that too like, 'How's the guy?' And I'll tell you, the guy is great," he shared. "His name is Will and he's a great guy. And if he wasn't, he'd be dead right now."

'Zootopia 2' teaser trailer shows Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps solving a new case
The teaser trailer for "Zootopia 2" has arrived. Disney released the teaser trailer for the animated sequel on Tuesday, which finds Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps, voiced by Jason Bateman and Ginnifer Goodwin, hanging out with a new character named Gary De'Snake. He is a mysterious pit viper voiced by Ke Huy Quan. "Judy and Nick find themselves on the twisting trail of a great mystery when Gary De'Snake arrives in Zootopia and turns the animal metropolis upside down," according to the film's official synopsis. "To crack the case, they must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before." 'Zootopia' Tops the Box Office Again ABC Audio spoke with Goodwin at the 2025 Disney Upfront, where she said it was amazing to get to return to the character of Judy Hopps. "She's the best," Goodwin said. "I can't generally watch myself. I think a lot of actors are like this. 'Zootopia' is one I can watch again and again, and had to, having children. And I have to say, that made it easier to slip right back in, because I was like, oh, I really get who this character is now. I've seen the movie a hundred times." Disney Animation chief and creative officer Jared Bush wrote and directed "Zootopia 2." He promises a larger world for fans to explore. "We are beyond excited to welcome everyone back to the outrageous, expansive animal metropolis of Zootopia," Bush said. "Whether it's the marshes of semi-aquatic mammals, the vast desert dunes or even greater mysteries beyond, our heroes, Judy and Nick, will meet a lot of new friends, and discover even more about the world, themselves and a brand-new snake in town." Ke Huy Quan joins cast of 'Zootopia 2' Shakira returns to voice Gazelle in the sequel, while Fortune Feimster and Quinta Brunson join the cast. "Zootopia 2" arrives in theaters on Nov. 26.

Will Trent Stars Unpack Finale Cliffhangers: Losing [Spoiler] Would ‘Break' Faith in Season 4 — WATCH
When Will Trent Season 3 cut to black, not one, but two beloved characters' lives were in grave danger. While defending her precinct against members of a local terrorist group, GBI Deputy Director Amanda Wagner (played by original cast member Sonja Sohn) took a bullet to the sternum. She survived surgery, but doctors warned that the next 48 hours would be 'critical.' More from TVLine Will Trent's Erika Christensen Mulls Whether Finale Was Meant to Bring Will and Angie 'Closure' — WATCH Is Will Trent Saying Goodbye to Two Original Cast Members? EPs Tease What to Expect in Season 4 SNL Finale: Scarlett Johansson Gets Cut Off During Goodnights - Watch Them in Full Here Meanwhile, Detective Michael Ormewood, who recently discovered that he has a brain tumor, ended the May 13 finale on the floor of his kitchen, mid-seizure, as Special Agent Faith Mitchell (Iantha Richardson) called for help. When TVLine caught up with Richardson at the Disney Upfront in New York City Tuesday, the actress inferred that she fully expects Ormewood to recover in Season 4, and that Faith would play a pivotal role in his recovery. But when pressed on the possibility of losing Amanda — who's not only her boss, but practically her aunt due to Amanda's lifelong friendship with Evelyn — Richardson was less certain that her character would be able to soldier on. 'That would break her,' she said. 'If anything were to happen to her — which, I highly doubt anything would — but when she realizes what has happened to Amanda, that is going to be something that is going to be a pivotal moment in Faith's life, for sure.' Richardson's co-star, Jake McLaughlin, didn't seem particularly worried about Ormewood's fate, either. (If he was worried, he's got the best poker face in the game.) He did, however, reveal what was most difficult about preparing for final scene of the year. And because we didn't want to end on a downer, we asked about some of Ormewood's more lighthearted moments in Season 3, at which point McLaughlin lit up and reminisced about shooting a very memorable disco sequence for Episode 13. For even more insight into Will Trent's Season 3 finale — and what's to come in Season 4, premiering in January 2026 — be sure to check out our post mortem with co-showrunners Liz Heldens and Daniel Thomsen, then hit the comments with your hopes for the next run of episodes.
