Kate Hudson Says Mindy Kaling Was Giving Notes On ‘Running Point' From The Hospital: 'Isn't Mindy Literally In Labor?'
Mindy Kaling certainly has a strong work ethic, so says Running Point star and executive producer Kate Hudson. During an FYC event for the Netflix basketball dramedy prior to the weekend, the actress gushed about the show's co-creator, per People, saying she was so dedicated to the series that she sent in writing notes shortly after giving birth to her third child in February 2024.

'And she's just not only so brilliant, but so trusting … she puts the best team together.' The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days star added, 'And she was pregnant. We had a script, like our first table read. She's on Zoom. She then has the baby and is sending notes like an hour after she has the baby. I was like, 'Isn't Mindy literally in labor?''Hudson concluded, 'She is a powerhouse and delivers what she says she's going to deliver.' Also from Ike Barinholtz and showrunner David Stassen, Running Point is loosely drawn from the life of Jeanie Buss, the sports executive who inherited the family business of managing the Los Angeles Lakers. As the president and controlling owner of the iconic group, she is the first woman to lead a championship team in the NBA. In the show's fictionalized and dramatized adaptation, Hudson portrays the determined Isla Gordon, the newly appointed L.A. Waves CEO who must contend with league misogyny and her own brothers vying for her spot. Already renewed for a second season at the streamer after a slam dunk inaugural season, Barinholtz previously told Deadline at the TV Contenders event that the writers room has opened and scribes are currently 'in the nitty gritty of breaking the season.'

So She Took a Role Opposite Cate Blanchett BBC Takes Thomas Vinterberg's Climate Change Drama Series 'Families Like Ours' for U.K. The artist's agency, Tajoy Entertainment, issued a statement Monday night saying, 'The artist Wheesung has left us. He was found in cardiac arrest at his residence and was later pronounced dead.' The company said that its fellow artists and staff were 'in deep sorrow.' Known for his powerful vocals and emotional ballads, Wheesung debuted in 2002 with the hit r&b album Like a Movie. His fame rose over the years that followed as he worked across genres, blending r&b, pop and hip-hop. But his career took a devastating hit in 2021 when he was convicted of regular, unprescribed use of the powerful anesthetic propofol. He received a one-year prison sentence, suspended from two years. He continued to perform in the wake of the incident, but no longer commanded the same crowds or music sales. According to local newspaper The Korea Times, Wheesung was discovered unconscious in his apartment in Seoul's northern Gwangjin-gu district at 6:29 p.m. Emergency responders entered his home after responding to an emergency call from his mother. The singer had been scheduled to meet his manager earlier in the day, but didn't show up and couldn't be reached. His mother, who lives in the same apartment building, went to check on him and found him unresponsive.
