Jensen Ackles Compares Countdown Action Scenes, Says Truck Surfing Is a Whole ‘Different Ballgame' (WATCH)
It's not easy being LAPD Detective Mark Meachum. In last week's July 11 episode of Prime Video's Countdown, undercover Hurricane Task Force members sneaked into a ritzy party at the Belarusian consulate, so as to hack its database and see what all Volchek's homeland knows about his decidedly dirty dealings. More from TVLine Exclusive Countdown Sneak Peek: Amber Offers Mark Comfort - But Does She Know His Secret? Save the Dates: Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke in The Girlfriend, Love Island Reunion and More Daniel Dae Kim Is One Dangerous 'Dead' Dad in Trailer for Amazon Spy Thriller Butterfly In the course of that surreptitious mission, Meachum (played by Jensen Ackles) stumbled into a heated hand-to-hand fight inside the consulate's security station, where all sorts of limbs were thrown, much furniture broken. In this Wednesday's Episode 6 of the thriller series, Meachum found himself 'surfing' atop a trailer traveling at high speed, before leaping onto the pickup truck pulling it. Which scenario most thrilled Ackles himself, who of course has had his share of action-packed fun on series such as Supernatural and The Boys? 'Oh man, I had a lot of fun with both,' Ackles shares in the TVLine video above. Though when all is said and done, straddling the fast-moving trailer was 'more exhilarating,' he says. As we noted above, 'I've done the hand-to-hand fight scene quite a bit' in other roles, Ackles reminds, and while those are fun, 'they're also tricky,' in that punches and kicks need to land in such a way that 'no one catches an elbow' for real. Also, 'Those are really sweaty days!' Ackles reports with a laugh. 'You do three takes and you get drenched.' Meanwhile, keeping one's balance while standing atop a moving trailer, and at times purposely falling, is 'a totally different kind of ballgame,' Ackles makes clear. 'All you've got to do is just hang on,' he says — until the scene demands that you get knocked to your knees and nearly slide off the side, all whilst tethered to the stunt vehicle by a thin cable. 'It's like hanging over the side of a cliff and having a buddy hang onto you,' Ackles explains, visibly dazzling even Countdown co-star Eric Dane seated next to him in the Zoom. 'It was a little nerve-wracking! But it was a lot of fun.' Want scoop on , or for any other TV show? Shoot an email to InsideLine@ and your question may be answered via Matt's Inside Line!

Robin Kaye: 'American Idol' Boss Had 'Felt Threatened by Somebody' and Planned to Hire Private Security Days Before Being Murdered Along with Husband
The "American Idol" executive who was shot dead along with her husband in their lavish Los Angeles home had recently looked into hiring private security, because the couple "felt threatened by somebody." Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, both 70, were killed during a suspected break-in at their Encino home late last week, according to police. Authorities arrested 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian on Tuesday, a day after police officers found the bodies of the couple during a welfare check at their home. In the weeks leading up to the tragedy, Kaye had reportedly contacted a private security company due to growing concerns about her safety, according to NBC Los Angeles. Anticipating Danger Before Murder Robin Kaye X "She felt threatened by somebody because of somebody around their home or around their neighborhood who felt suspicious," said Kris Herzog, owner of the Bodyguard Group of Beverly Hills. The couple ultimately did not go through with hiring the security firm and it remains unclear whether their home had been targeted before. The property, which was purchased for nearly $4.5 million in 2023, stood out as one of the largest and most fortified homes in the area, featuring high walls topped with spikes. Robin Kaye with husband Thomas Deluca Instagram According to neighbors who spoke to NBC Los Angeles, the upscale neighborhood has been a repeated target for burglars over the years. Investigators believe Boordarian was in the middle of robbing Kaye's home on July 10 while the couple was out. Detectives say the suspect had likely been inside for about 30 minutes before the couple came back and caught him in the act. He didn't break in but instead accessed the house through an unlocked entry point, before shooting dead both Kaye and her husband when they confronted him. Robin Kaye X Boodarian allegedly shot both victims during a confrontation after they caught him in the middle of the burglary On the day the couple died, the LAPD received two reports of a potential break-in. However, when officers arrived, they were unable to enter the property due to the home's heavy security, according to ABC7. With no visible signs of a break-in and no warnings from a police helicopter surveying the area, officers saw no immediate threat and eventually left the scene. Officers returned to the six-bedroom mansion four days later, around 2:30 pm after receiving a call requesting a welfare check. They broke a rear window to gain entry into the house. After entering, they found both Kaye and Deluca shot in the head. Investigators witnessed blood near the front door before forcing their way in through the window, according to TMZ. Neighbors reported seeing someone—possibly armed—jumping a fence along the upscale, tree-lined street in the exclusive California neighborhood. Neighbor Naomi Sadoun, 69, said she often saw the couple walking together in the area, sometimes accompanied by their dog, and remembered them as "lovely people." She added that concerned relatives arrived at the Encino property on White Oak Avenue the previous evening but were kept outside by police. A Star Is Gone After news of the heartbreaking deaths broke, American Idol released a statement describing Kaye as " a cornerstone of the Idol family." "We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom's, passing," a spokesperson told Daily Mail. Robin Kaye X "Robin has been a cornerstone of the Idol family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came in contact with her. "Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time." Kaye worked as the music supervisor for "American Idol" for the past 15 seasons, contributing to around 300 episodes, according to her IMDb profile. In her illustrious career, she won multiple Guild of Music Supervisors Awards for her exceptional work on the show. Her impressive résumé also includes work on popular shows such as "Lip Sync Battle", "Hollywood Game Night", and "Worn Stories." Kaye also worked for the NAACP Image Awards, "The Singing Bee", "Miss USA", "Miss Universe", "American Inventor", "The Dance Scene", "Dance Your A* Off*", "Your Chance to Dance", "Adventures of Power", and "Crashed." Her husband was a musician whose most recent album, Street Rock, was released in 2022. According to his website, Deluca's first album, the critically acclaimed cult classic "Down To The Wire", was released by Epic Records in 1986. Public records show that the happy couple bought their Encino home in January 2023.

A young boy's body is found near dumpsters in Panorama City. Five people are detained for questioning
Five people were detained for questioning Monday in connection with the death of a young boy found near dumpsters in Panorama City, according to authorities. The Los Angeles Police Department responded at around 7 a.m. Saturday to the 8200 block of Van Nuys Boulevard and found the body of a boy around 5 or 6 years old, according to an LAPD social media post. The police department's Abused Child Unit took over the investigation. The boy was found in a parking lot near two dumpsters, and a white canopy was put over the body. Officers followed a tip to an apartment complex on Lanark Street, less than a mile from where the body was found, police said. Officials executed a search warrant at around 9:30 p.m. at one of the apartments and detained a man and a woman. Two children were in the apartment as well. LAPD detained three more adults, two men and one woman, near Sunset Boulevard and Ivar Avenue at around 1 a.m., LAPD officials said. All five were detained for questioning. The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services took custody of the two children. The relationship between the five adults and the dead boy is still under investigation, police said. The adults haven't been publicly identified. More details about how the boy may have died have not been released. Local residents held a vigil for the boy the same night that the adults were detained, KTLA news reported. Vigil attendees filmed the adults being led away in handcuffs, and someone was heard screaming 'justice.' A growing collection of toys, flowers and notes have been left in the parking lot where the boy was found. A rainbow-colored Snoopy rested near a star-shaped yellow helium balloon in the pile on Monday. 'Fly with the angels little guy,' one message said. Eduardo Martinez, 28, a Panorama City resident, wept and shook his head. Nearby, a half-dozen people held hands and prayed. 'Whatever happened here is despicable,' said Martinez, who attends nursing school next door. 'I hope they catch whoever did this.' This pocket of Panorama City is largely commercial, with dentist offices, nursing schools, and restaurants lining the streets. A nearby apartment tower looms over the parking lot. 'They still haven't found who did it, no?' Brandon Moreno, a teenager who lives nearby, asked a friend as they peered through a chain-link fence at the memorial. The neighborhood, which is heavily Latino, is also on edge because of the recent immigration raids throughout the region, residents said. 'It's a lot going on right now,' said Moreno.
