What do a game show host, a rocket scientist, an MMA fighter, a RuPaul's Drag Race All-Star, two Survivors, and an American Idol hopeful & daughter of an 80s pop star have in common? They're all... in the House. BIG BROTHER announced today on its YouTube channel's "Broveal" the 14 Houseguests set to move into the house during the 90-minute premiere Thursday, July 9 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT), on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Additional surprise Houseguests will be revealed on air. This season's cast includes an MMA fighter, rocket scientist, game show host, daughter of an '80s pop star, and a DRAG RACE All Star, among others. This new group of Houseguests is stepping into a summer where nothing is as it seems, where every twist rewrites the rules, and where time becomes the ultimate twist. Viewers can catch every unfiltered moment with BIG BROTHER Live Feeds when they open Friday, July 10 at 9:00 PM, ET/6:00 PM, PT on Paramount+* and Pluto TV and, for the first time, available on the show's official YouTube channel for a limited time after every BIG BROTHER and BIG BROTHER: UNLOCKED episode. The following are the 14 Houseguests competing this summer: "Survivor 50" coin-flipper Rick Devens is also entering the "Big Brother" house, EW reports. And Devens is not the only former "Survivor" castaway that will be competing this summer. The outlet confirms that a second former castaway will also be vying for the grand prize, but the identity of that second person remains under wraps. In addition, the charcuterie-loving Angela Murray from "BB26" is returning for her second shot at the $750K, reports Men's Journal. The Utah-based real estate agent finished in sixth place two summers ago, becoming one of the season's biggest and most polarizing personalities. |

This Is Not a Repeat from 2014 |

Harry Jowsey is ready to find a lasting love connection. After appearing on Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle and Perfect Match in 2021 and 2024, respectively, the podcaster, 29, is now set to headline his own reality dating series on the streaming service. Let’s Marry Harry is set to premiere next month and will follow Jowsey as he puts “his situationship era” behind him and searches for true love among 20 potential suitors. As Netflix admitted, the unscripted series is The Bachelor meets Too Hot to Handle. Instead of using just his own judgment, however, Jowsey will rely on the opinions of his close friends — Amanda Kloots (Dancing With the Stars), Georgia Hassarati (Too Hot to Handle), and abstract artist Sonny Henty — to sway his romantic decisions. The show’s official synopsis reads, “After years of dating in the spotlight — and getting it wrong — his closest confidants are stepping in to make the tough calls. From a carefully selected pool of potential matches, they’ll decide who stays and who goes, guiding Harry toward what he truly wants: authentic love and marriage.” Let’s Marry Harry will release eight episodes this summer — the first seven on Aug. 5, and the finale on Aug. 12. Each installment is an hour long. The show is produced by Unwell, with executive producers Alex Cooper, Matt Kaplan, Mina Lefevre, and showrunner David Friedman. Cooper, of Call Her Daddy fame, also produced the recent Hulu series Love Overboard. |

The Great American Road Rally(TM), an all-new celebrity-driven television event hosted by Ian Ziering, will premiere this fall on The CW, airing Wednesdays at 9:00 PM ET/PT from September 2 through November 25, 2026. Premiering during the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Route 66 and the 250th Anniversary of the United States, the series takes audiences on a high-energy journey across America's most iconic highway, combining adventure, competition, entertainment, community celebration, and philanthropy. Produced by 7 Bridges Media Group (7BMG), The Great American Road Rally(TM) features celebrity participants from television, music, sports, comedy, and popular culture as they travel historic Route 66, visit legendary destinations, tackle unique challenges, share personal stories, and spotlight charitable organizations making a meaningful impact in communities across America. At its core, the series is built around a simple idea: transforming competition into contribution. Throughout the season, celebrity teams will represent and support ten charitable organizations serving families, children, veterans, first responders, community programs, and individuals in need. While the weekly road-trip adventures and celebrity challenges provide the entertainment, the larger mission is to elevate the organizations and people working every day to strengthen communities across the country. Hosted by Ian Ziering, the series brings together recognizable personalities from television, music, sports, comedy, and popular culture whose careers span generations of American entertainment. "The Great American Road Rally(TM) was created to celebrate the American spirit, the open road, the legacy of Route 66, and the power of entertainment to bring people together for something meaningful," says Ziering. "It's so much more than a road-trip series, it is a national celebration of community, generosity, American culture, and the charitable spirit that connects us all." Each week, audiences will meet new celebrity participants, discover remarkable charitable organizations, and experience fresh challenges, destinations, and unforgettable moments, giving viewers new reasons to tune in throughout the entire season. Unlike traditional competition programs, The Great American Road Rally(TM) is designed so that every cause benefits. Viewers will also be invited to participate through community events, charitable initiatives, social engagement, public appearances, audience participation opportunities, and special announcements tied to the journey. Fans can follow the Rally from the earliest stages of production through the season finale with celebrity reveals, charity spotlights, behind-the-scenes content, filming updates, and community engagement opportunities released before and throughout the broadcast season. Filming begins in August 2026, with production traveling from the Midwest to the Pacific Coast along historic Route 66 before culminating in a special season finale event during Thanksgiving week. As America prepares to celebrate two historic milestones, the Route 66 Centennial and the nation's 250th Anniversary - The Great American Road Rally(TM) aims to deliver a shared national television experience rooted in adventure, nostalgia, entertainment, generosity, and the enduring spirit of the open road. Additional celebrity participants, charitable partners, production updates, community events, sponsorship opportunities, and public engagement initiatives will be announced throughout the summer as the Rally begins its journey toward its September premiere.

Louise Lasser, whose pig-tailed braids, bangs and baby-doll gingham dresses took the nation by storm when they became her trademark look on Norman Lear‘s Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman in the 1970s, died Monday at her home in Manhattan. She was 87. Her death was reported by her friend Susan Charlotte to The New York Times. Initially making her name in early Woody Allen films — the two married in 1966 and divorced four years later — Lasser employed a droll, deadpan comic delivery to great effect not only in Allen’s Take the Money and Run, Bananas and Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (But Were Afraid to Ask) but in buzzy commercials for Comet, Excedrin and NyQuil (in the latter, she played a helpful wife to a sick and grateful husband: “I’m lucky to have you, Mildred,” the stuffed-up man says, to which Lasser’s benevolent and placid Mildred replies, “I know.”) Early in her career she even briefly appeared on Broadway in 1962 as Barbra Streisand’s replacement in the musical I Can Get It for You Wholesale. But it wasn’t until January 1976 that Lasser shot to international stardom as the title character in Lear’s wildly offbeat soap opera parody Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. As envisioned by Lear, Hartman was not only a soap parody but an actual soap, televised in syndication five days a week in half-hour installments. It aired in some markets during traditional daytime soap time slots and in others at 11 p.m. Both time periods were telling: The deadpan comedy and satirical bent was fitting in the post-primetime slots, while the faux melodrama of a working-class family in small-town Ohio (the fictional Fernwood) made for a clever addition to the afternoon sturm und drang that filled network hours. While Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman lasted only until July 1977, the daily schedule meant that the cast churned out 325 episodes, a wearying tally especially for Lasser, who was the series’ constant throughout all the various storylines. In a season-ending episode that seemed all too real, her character suffered a nervous breakdown on national television, a heartbreaking scene that Lasser seemed to play all too well. In game shows, Lasser appeared on episodes of Talent Scouts and Showoffs. Following her breakout success on Hartman, Lasser continued working but never in anything nearly as high-profile as her signature role. In 1980 she made the first of three appearances in the hit comedy Taxi as Phyllis, the ex-wife of Judd Hirsch’s Alex Reiger, and that same year had an uncredited cameo in Allen’s Stardust Memories. Subsequent credits included Todd Solondz’s Happiness (1998) and Darren Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream (2000) as well as TV shows including St. Elsewhere and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. A noted New York acting teacher, Lasser more recently was featured in three episodes of Lena Dunham’s HBO comedy Girls, playing, appropriately enough, a mostly forgotten artist who was newly revered by a younger generation. Lasser is survived by her longtime partner, Michael Citriniti. |

Sky has finally sealed a £1.6 billion ($2.1 billion) deal to acquire ITV‘s television network operations. ITV confirmed to shareholders on Monday morning that it will sell to its pay-TV rival, meaning a crown jewel of British broadcasting becomes part of the NBCUniversal entertainment empire. As part of the deal, Reuters confirmed previous reporting that The Great British Bake Off producer Love Productions will be sold to ITV Studios. The deal is for ITV’s Media & Entertainment arm, not its Studios production and distribution division, and it first emerged late last year. In May, ITV followed up by saying it remained in “active discussions” with Sky. Reuters said it is now being finalized by lawyers and an announcement could be made in the next couple of weeks. ITV Studios, which makes the likes of Love Island and Squid Game: The Challenge, will remain separate and will add Love Productions to its stable, a huge boon given the Great British Bake Off IP. Sky, a division of Comcast, bought 70% of Love in 2014 and the remainder in 2020. Founder Richard McKerrow exited last year. ITV CEO Carolyn McCall was quick to speak up its indie production prospects and global scale on a call with analysts and journalists today amid persistent rumors over its future. With rivals such as Banijay and All3Media merging and the tech and streaming giants getting larger, market chatter has persisted that ITV Studios would need to merge with a rival such as Fremantle or could become another takeover target to gain scale. “We are confident that ITV Studios will continue to succeed,” McCall said. “It has been a real success story in the past eight years. It has grown about 45% and it has the best shows in every genre.” Chris Kennedy, ITV’s Chief Operating Officer and Chief Finance Officer, added: “ITV Studios already has the scale to compete in the global market. It is one of the largest independent producers in the world, and more than half the revenue comes from outside the UK.” He pointed to “a very successful strategy of bolt-on acquisitions” and claimed the company would have “sufficient cash to continue” in that vein. “We don’t see the need for a transformational acquisition of anything like this scale,” he added. |

"Naked and Afraid" Gets Shipwrecked |
|
In a high-stakes twist on the franchise, 12 Naked and Afraid all-stars are dropped into open water in the dark of night, finding themselves unexpectedly abandoned and fighting to survive in the all-new series NAKED AND AFRAID: SHIPWRECKED, premiering Sunday, August 2 at 8PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel. Under the impression that they are entering a standard 35-day group challenge at dawn, the survivalists instead begin their insertion adrift at sea overnight. With emergency flares shooting overhead, the survivalists must grab whatever limited resources they can before making their way ashore. Divided into four groups of three, the survivalists are stranded on a mysterious and isolated island on the lost coast of the Philippines, often described as the "Bermuda Triangle of Southeast Asia," due to its history of past shipwrecks and unexplained disappearances. The terrain offers both opportunities and risk, with a dense, resource-rich jungle that contains the remnants of those who came before. Teams work together to build shelters and tools from the wreckage, including a 300-foot primitive water aqueduct. In the surrounding seas, survivalists must contend with tiger and hammerhead sharks, stingrays, sea snakes and box jellyfish whose venom contains one of the ocean's most lethal toxins. Far removed from civilization and with no food, no fresh water and no clothing, the survivalists must adapt quickly, relying not only on their individual skills but also on their ability to innovate and salvage whatever they can from the environment. With each team receiving only one piece of the challenge map, they must track down the others and combine pieces to rescue themselves from the island on Day 35. The battle-tested survivalists that will be lost at sea include: In addition to watching NAKED AND AFRAID: SHIPWRECKED on Discovery Channel, viewers can join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #NakedAndAfraid and following Naked and Afraid on Facebook, X, and Instagram. NAKED AND AFRAID: SHIPWRECKED is produced for Discovery Channel by Lionsgate Alternative Television. |

Victor Willis, who co-founded the Village People, co-wrote the disco group’s classic hits “Y.M.C.A.,” ″Macho Man” and “In the Navy,” and delighted crowds while dressed as the band’s helmeted and mustachioed police officer, has died. He was 74. “We are profoundly sad to announce the death of Victor Willis, lead singer of Village People,” tand his wife Karen Huff-Willis he group posted on its official Facebook page. The cause was identified as “a short but aggressive illness.” Willis was a musician-actor who, among other things, had appeared on Broadway in “The Wiz” when he decided to cash in on the disco craze in 1977 by joining a group made up of beefy, macho-looking guys dressed as a biker, a construction worker, a cop, a cowboy and a Native American chief. With producer Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo, Morali’s business partner, Willis founded the six-member Village People. The idea came to them while partying at an after-hours gay nightclub in the West Village of Manhattan. The group’s self-titled debut album was released in 1977. In 1978, the group released two albums, “Macho Man” and “Cruisin’” — which featured the international hit “Y.M.C.A.,” a song that peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard chart. A year later, Village People released the album “Go West,” which included “In the Navy,” a song that peaked at No. 3 on the chart. “Macho Man” peaked at No. 25 in 1978. In game shows, Willis featured on an episode of "To Tell the Truth" in 2016. An earlier marriage to actress Phylicia Rashad, who appeared with him in “The Wiz” and later starred as Clair Huxtable on “The Cosby Show,” ended in divorce. Complete information on survivors was not immediately available. |
