Kacey Musgraves is taking another trip to “Uncertain, TX” — this time with a little bit of Tejano flair courtesy of a legendary South Texas band.
On Tuesday, Musgraves released a Spanish version of her critically acclaimed track featuring Tejano group Intocable — a song she originally recorded with country star Willie Nelson, which debuted at No. 50 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs after the May 1 release of her seventh studio album, “Middle of Nowhere.”
“Having a song with the legends of Intocable is such a thrill for me,” said Musgraves in a press release on Tuesday. “As a Texan, I am proud of the cultural melting pot that makes our state so great and this collaboration is such a fun example of that.”
According to Intocable lead singer and accordionist Ricardo “Ricky” Muñoz, who spoke with The Times via Zoom, Musgraves had first thought of including the great conjunto accordionist Flaco Jiménez, who passed away in August 2025, to join in on the original track with Nelson, a fact that the country gal herself confirmed on the Zane Lowe interview series on Apple Music in May.
“Flaco Jiménez’s son told me that Kacey wanted to do an all-Texas thing where Willie Nelson was in the song and Kacey also invited Flaco to play accordion,” said Muñoz, who heard the original demo. “I believe at the time, Flaco was not good, health-wise, so he wasn’t able to do it.”
Muñoz, who has always been a fan of the “Rainbow” singer, said the song was “orbiting” around him. Three weeks ago, he received a call from Musgraves’ team to help with the Spanish version.
“I was very conservative on the accordion part. I just played little parts here and there,” said Muñoz. “Then they call me back and they go like, ‘No, give me some more of that.’”
This isn’t Musgraves’ first collaboration with a música mexicana artist. In August 2025, the 38-year-old singer-songwriter joined forces with Carin León for the cross-cultural ballad “Lost in Translation.”
Muñoz considered the collaboration a “perfect fit.”
“We’re representing the Tejano community, and I’m proud of that,” said Muñoz, who comes from a long line of Texas-born Mexicans. “ Once we meet in person and we get to play together, it’s even gonna be a better connection to the song.”
On Thursday, the two acts will perform together for the first time for Musgraves’ Middle of Nowhere tour at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas.
The iconic Tejano band formed in the border town of Zapata, Texas, in 1993, and rose to fame thanks to Tejano pop hits like “Fuerte No Soy,” “Soñador Eterno” and “Estás Que Te Pelas.”
In July, the “¿Y Todo Para Qué?” group received its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. At the ceremony, hitmaker and songwriter Edgar Barrera, who grew up in the same borderland area, said that Intocable “showed the world what música mexicana could be.”
But the Grammy-winning band isn’t resting on its laurels. Of the Walk of Fame star, Muñoz said, “that’s just part of the journey. It’s awesome, but I haven’t really paid any more thought than the day I was there.”
Instead, the “Enséñame A Olvidarte” act is looking ahead. The group is preparing for the release of its 16th studio album next year, “Nostalgia Radical,” a project inspired by Muñoz’s mental health journey , which he said has allowed him to show up as his most authentic self.
“I was exploring myself, being vulnerable and asking questions,” said Muñoz. “ To me, going to therapy every Tuesday is like taking out the trash.”
This November, the band — which is currently zigzagging between Mexico and the U.S. for its Cultura Tour — is also up for a Latin Grammy for regional song for their country-fused pro-immigrant anthem “Estamos Todos.”
“We’re all asking all these questions, and we’re not getting the right answers or any answers. We’re just being danced around with the answers,” said Muñoz. “But in the meantime, we’re all together in this.”
The band’s pro-immigrant stance is another thing it has in common with Musgraves, who in May invited invited three teen mariachi brothers previously detained by ICE to open for her sold-out, three-night residency at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, Texas, the oldest dance hall in the state..
The country singer also asked fans to donate to the Young Center for Immigrant Rights, which helps children whose parents have faced deportations, during the opening night of her tour in Chicago back in August.
“We need more people to talk about this and not stay quiet. Kacey is coming from another community and stepping up, I mean, that’s big, man. That’s huge. I commend her for that,” said Muñoz.
An ‘epic moment’ has reportedly caught Celebrity Traitors bosses off guard and forced them to scrap huge plans they had for the series. The change will reportedly “make great TV”
Bosses have been forced to scrap a cliffhanger but what has replaces it “will make great TV”
The Celebrity Traitors bosses have been forced to scrap a cliffhanger but what has replaces it “will make great TV” according to sources.
The show sees twenty-one famous faces head to The Traitors castle, ready to play the ultimate game of deception and betrayal in the hope of winning a cash prize of up to £100,000 for a charity of their choice.
Fans quickly become invested in the show and to keep viewers hooked it has become known for it’s cliffhangers.
Tonight, viewers will tune in to watch the result of last Friday’s cliffhanger. The all-star line-up will be casting their votes on who to banish from Ardross Castle after the Withnail and I actor battled to convince them he was a faithful.
Actor Richard E. Grant was chosen by host Claudia Winkleman to be a Traitor alongside presenter Maya Jama. However, just minutes into the game, comedian Joe Lycett casually asked him what role he had been given, to which Grant immediately replied, “Traitor!”
He then spent the rest of the premiere manically back-pedaling to convince his fellow contestants that he was actually a Faithful who had simply made a bad joke.
A source told The Sun: “Cliffhangers on The Traitors have become legendary so bosses never want to disappoint and hope to have the nation on tenterhooks all week, waiting for Thursdays to come around – that’s part of the reason the format being fed out twice a week works.
“So they plot out likely moments in gameplay that will be the Friday cliffs. But during filming, something so unbelievable happened even execs didn’t see it coming.
“It forced them to throw plans out the window to accommodate the epic moment – which should make great TV.”
Production firm Studio Lambert decide what elements of the show would make good teasers during pre-production.
Speaking at the launch of the series, executive producer Sarah Fay said: “We always have an idea before going into pre-production what might be cliffhangers but we have to be so reactive because who knows what the story is going to be.
“Last year we went to deadlock [at the Round Table] when it was down to David [Olusoga] and Mark [Bonner] where it was a tie. We never knew that that was going to happen until obviously, it was happening right before our eyes.
“I think the beauty of this game as well is every episode we’ve probably got about three options of what the cliffhanger could be because it’s so nail-biting.”
The Mirror has contacted the BBC press office for comment.
The Celebrity Traitors returns tonight at 8pm on BBC One.
Dolly Parton’s estate is alleging that Bryan Seaver, the country icon’s nephew and former head of security, used a “no trespassing” sign and barbed wire to avoid being served legal documents.
There is an active restraining order and lawsuit against Seaver by Parton’s company, She’s Alive LLC, which is run by Parton’s former manager, Danny Nozell, for allegedly threatening and extorting her estate.
Seaver served as Parton’s head of security for more than 20 years and, on Aug. 25, delivered the news of his aunt’s death via a video on her Instagram account.
Legal troubles for Seaver first came to light on Sept. 22 when a case was filed by She’s Alive in Davidson County Chancery Court in Nashville on the heels of Seaver’s termination as head of security. Both Seaver and his company, Squadron Augmented Protection Services LLC, are the defendants in the lawsuit.
In documents reviewed by the New York Times, Seaver is accused of mounting “an obscene, deliberate and escalating campaign of threats” to acquire money from the Parton estate, including a profane threat made toward at least one Dollywood business partner.
Seaver filed a motion last week to delay a hearing scheduled for Friday, saying he needed time to meet with his preferred legal counsel.
The following day, lawyers for She’s Alive asked the court to deny this motion, arguing that Seaver “attempted to evade service of process” and that the “court should not reward that behavior.”
According to court filings obtained by ABC News, a process server tried to issue court documents to Seaver for the third time but encountered a “no-trespassing sign in the front yard and barbed wire draped across the handrails leading to the front door.”
The new hearing date is set for Oct. 20.
The legal complaint includes text messages in which Seaver wrote that he would become “the hand of retribution for my entire family.” According to the complaint, in other text exchanges between him and a longtime lawyer of Parton, he described himself as a “killer,” a term he would later argue was taken out of context.
There are also claims that Seaver began making financial demands before Parton’s death, including in a text to Nozell where he said he would launch a podcast “dedicated to ruining Dolly’s brand partnerships and telling the violations these people have done on us” if demands were not met, the New York Times reported.
Nozell was Parton’s longtime manager and is credited with reviving the “I Will Always Love You” singer’s international touring career.
The Times reached out to Seaver, Nozelle and She’s Alive LLC but did not hear back.
In a new memoir, Joe Manganiello is getting candid about the condition that nearly killed him and the measures he took in search of healing.
The upcoming book, “Bloodlines,” which hits bookstores and online retailers Oct. 13, follows Manganiello’s career in Hollywood from “True Blood” werewolf to “Magic Mike” hunk, his seven-year marriage and subsequent divorce from “Modern Family” star Sofía Vergara and his battle with a mystery autoimmune condition that he says nearly killed him.
The 2010s were off to a stellar start for Manganiello. He was landing notable parts in buzzy projects and fell in love with television’s Colombian Jessica Rabbit, but shortly after the couple said “I do,” the actor’s rise abruptly switched course because of health issues that left doctors stumped.

“I was getting sicker and sicker,” he told People. Manganiello detailed debilitating abdominal pain, fevers, rashes, headaches, fatigue and ulcers in his digestive tract that caused bleeding and led to countless colonoscopies. In 2016, he was rolled into an emergency “major organ amputation” in which doctors removed a portion of his intestines and sent him home 60 pounds lighter than his normal weight, with a colostomy bag in tow.
“It happened to me, and it’s the truth, and I have all the scars to prove it,” Manganiello told the outlet. Doctors attempted to treat the actor with prescriptions used for patients with Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis, but nothing worked. An autoimmune disease seemed to be the culprit, he said, but such “conditions are a dumping ground for things [doctors] don’t understand. They start running you through this gauntlet of drugs.”
Manganiello said that, as a result of the illness, his marriage fell apart, he gave away his gun to protect himself from suicidal impulses, and he took in an itty-bitty Chihuahua named Bubbles.
He also started to pursue alternative treatment, which included a trip to Cuba, where he licked the pituitary gland in a goat’s skull, an esoteric ritual used to attempt a factory reset on a person’s immune system. When that didn’t cure him, he turned to a Santa Monica shaman who believed generational trauma caused the actor’s ailments.
“Whatever chains there were to the past suffering of my ancestors, they were completely broken,” he said. “There’s not an ounce of fear in me about moving forward with my life.”
Manganiello revealed he’s since had reconstructive surgery on his digestive tract and is seemingly cured.
“I can’t believe I’m alive,” he said. “I feel like I was reborn.”
Coronation Street has released a first look at the moment villain Jodie Ramsey brandishes a gun in a deadly showdown with Shona and David Platt, moments before the gun goes off

Jodie Ramsey points a gun at Coronation Street favourites David and Shona Platt in tense scenes on Thursday.
It seems a scuffle, with confusion over whether the gun is real or not, leads to it firing. But will death loom for Jodie, David or Shona, and will Jodie be stopped?
Fans have seen Jodie targeting her sister, and others, for weeks. On Thursday her plan to steal David all for herself comes into play, as she tries to seduce him.
Shona finally clocks that her villainous sister is out to get her, and plotting to steal her life. Confronting Jodie over her obsession with her family, the pair have it out, and secrets are exposed.
As David and Shona watch in horror, Jodie raises the gun at them. As David and Shona remain convinced it’s the fake gun they found recently, they challenge her unaware it’s real.
As the situation spirals the gun is fired, shooting someone. As the person collapses, the others are left reeling in horror – but who is shot, and will they die?
Will Jodie be successful in her seduction of David too, and could it lead to a sad split for him and Shona? All will be revealed during Friday’s dramatic episode of the ITV soap.
The fallout is being kept under wraps, while cryptic spoilers confirm someone could be safe. They state that David calls for an ambulance, so does this mean he isn’t hit?
Either way, paramedics soon arrive to tend to the victim, but their fate is not revealed. What is known is that in the days following, the police will investigate what has happened at the Platts house.
Soon it emerges not everyone is telling the truth about what went on, as statements are questioned. As detective Lisa Swain leads the investigation, she soon questions the given version of events.
Speaking to the Mirror recently, Shona actress Julia Goulding said Jodie would get a whole lot worse. She told us: “It’s only go to get more dramatic – how far will Jodie go? I think it’s going to wow everybody. It’s never plain sailing.”
Julia added of the plot: “I think she’s a really intricate complex character. Something has happened to make her like that; she’s not a baddie. She’s got many layers. It’s going to be interesting for the audience to peel those back. I love having Olivia with us; it’s nice exploring Shona’s background as well.”
OSCAR-winner Eva Marie Saint, who has died aged 102, was a reluctant star who became a Hollywood legend.
From Alfred Hitchcock to Marlon Brando, the girl from New Jersey took on the biggest names in the business and triumphed.

She was nine months pregnant when she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in On The Waterfront in 1955, joking: “I may have the baby right here!”
Two days later her son — named Darrell, not Oscar — arrived.
The oldest living Oscar winner said of her two-sentence appearance: “That was a lot for someone to say in those days.
“Most people just said thank you and walked off the stage, which I loved.
“It’s gotten out of hand these days where people have to be funny and go on and on and on.”
With the worldwide success of follow-up movie North By Northwest, an agent pushed her to make more films and become a “superstar”.

Her reply was simple: “I can’t. I can only do one a year. I have young children.”
Her agent’s response was: “Well, I guess you won’t be a superstar.”
Her perfectly calm reply: “Well, I guess not.”
But she became one anyway, and her legendary beauty even inspired the 1984 song Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, on July 4, 1924, Eva was from a Quaker background.
“I was in the chorus in high school, not a soloist,” she once said.
“I was on the basketball team. I played the violin, part of the orchestra. I never wanted to be out there alone. Ever.”
She studied acting at university in Ohio, then moved to New York, working in theatre and television.

Her big break came in the Broadway play The Trip To Bountiful, where she caught the eye of director Elia Kazan, who cast the then 29-year-old alongside Brando in On The Waterfront.
She said: “Brando was wonderful. Probably the finest actor I’ve ever worked with.”
But he was fickle. She said: “I only saw him once after On The Waterfront.
Years later, Elizabeth Taylor was having a birthday party and he came into the room.
“He came up, we hugged, and he saw a pretty brunette over my shoulder. He said goodbye and that was the last time I ever saw him.”
With an Oscar under her belt, Hollywood was desperate to make the most of her stardust, but Eva didn’t want to leave her second baby, Laurette, to work on North By Northwest.
Hitchcock’s on-set abuse was well known, but to Eva he was the perfect English gent.
She said: “Hitchcock was a high-class guy. He always had a suit on.”
North By Northwest was a box office hit and one of the pinnacles of Eva’s career.
Going out one night with co-star Cary Grant, she saw how he was mobbed.
She said: “I couldn’t have coped with that kind of fame. I wanted a normal life.”
And when she filmed Exodus in 1960 with Paul Newman, she took family on location in Israel and Cyprus.
She met Jeffrey Hayden before she was famous and they married in 1951 — a union that lasted 65 years until his death in 2016.
Eva’s TV roles included playing Superman’s mother in 2006 and Cybill Shepherd’s mum in Eighties hit TV series Moonlighting.
For her 100th birthday all her family gathered for a big party at her home in Los Angeles.
Eva said: “I certainly don’t feel 100 years old.”
Yet her age didn’t slow her down and she led an active life, saying: “I take walks out in the fresh air, like watching baseball — especially the Los Angeles Dodgers.
“I enjoy time with family and friends. A good life.”
Rob and Pauline ultimately received the most nominations and will face this week’s eviction. Newcomer Catrin was one of the stars who nominated Pauline, claiming the carer hasn’t made an effort to welcome her into the house. But her vote led to a heated argument between Rochelle and Pauline, where the latter pointed her finger and stepped towards Rochelle.
Big Brother has now issued a stern warning to Pauline. In Wednesday’s episode (October 7), he called the 31-year-old to the Diary Room. When asked how she was feeling, Pauline said: “A mix of emotions. Mostly disappointment. You just expect people to apply sense when things happen. Rather than assume the worst of someone, jump to conclusions, allow false narratives to hang.”
Big Brother then said: “Before you entered the Big Brother house, the rules regarding unacceptable behaviour were explained to you. At 1.46am, you were involved in an argument in the bathroom, during which you pointed your finger and stepped towards Rochelle.
“Big Brother deemed your tone and body language to be unacceptable. As a result of this, Big Brother is giving you a formal warning. Pauline, do you understand? Pauline, do you understand?”
Pauline seemingly refused to answer Big Brother and just stared silently at the camera. Viewers at home have been left furious by Big Brother’s judgement, with some arguing that Rochelle also deserved a warning.
An X user fumed: “FORMAL WARNING GET OUT OF HERE #bbuk.” Someone else said: “Rochelle pointed her finger first?!?! Omfg I hate this!!! #BBUK.”
While a third viewer added: “Rochelle should also get a warning, considering she was also point her fingers in Pauline’s face BEFOREHAND.” And yet another fan voiced their support, writing: “Ngl if I was Pauline, I’d f**** leave #BBUK.”
Others agreed with Pauline’s decision to stay silent after the warning, with one posting: “Good on Pauline in the diary room then. That warning was ridiculous,” and a second posted: “AHHHH I am HOWWWWLING that Pauline is now giving BB the silent treatment.”
The argument in question started when Catrin tried to speak to Pauline because she “felt bad” for nominating her. The original housemate was still feeling down after finding out she would be facing eviction for the third time this week, just days after her closest pal was eliminated.
So Pauline refused to speak to Catrin and later explained that her behaviour wasn’t because of Catrin’s vote, but that she was just upset about facing the chopping block yet again. Despite the explanation, Catrin still felt targeted by Pauline’s behaviour and broke down crying.
Her tears sparked a strong reaction from Rochelle, who then confronted Pauline in the bathroom despite not understanding the full story. The duo had a brutal back-and-forth during which Rochelle pointed at Pauline, fuming: “I hope you’re f**** proud of yourself.”
Pauline then fumed: “Don’t start on me. Don’t even go there. You know nothing of what happened!” That was when she moved towards Rochelle pointing her own finger back, which forced fellow housemate Harry to hold Pauline back.
Rochelle later relayed the argument as Pauline “picking on” Catrin, suggesting she was bullying the newcomer.
Big Brother continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
Horror star Mia Goth is ending her marriage to Shia LaBeouf just days short of their 10th wedding anniversary.
Goth, star of Ti West’s “X” trilogy, on Tuesday filed her petition to divorce “Peanut Butter Falcon” and “Honey Boy” actor LaBeouf in Los Angeles Superior Court. According to the petition, the estranged spouses married Oct. 10, 2016 but separated in July 2025. The petition confirms reports from earlier this year that the actors were on the outs.
Goth, 32, and LaBeouf, 40, share a 4-year-old daughter born March 2022, according to the petition. Neither representatives for the actors immediately responded on Wednesday to a request for comment.
The “Odyssey” actor filed her petition a day after LaBeouf’s ex-girlfriend FKA twigs brought her latest lawsuit against the former Disney Channel star to a close.
LaBeouf, who had an off-and-on relationship with Goth since their marriage, began dating FKA twigs, legal name Tahliah Barnett, in 2018. Barnett first sued LaBeouf in 2020, claiming she was subjected to frequent episodes of verbal and emotional abuse that escalated into physical assaults by the “Transformers” actor. She also accused LaBeouf of “knowingly infect[ing]” her with a sexually transmitted disease. The exes settled that case with prejudice last year but it returned to a legal spotlight in March.
The Grammy-winning “Eusexua” musician sued LaBeouf, alleging he “sought to silence her” from speaking out about his alleged abuse via an NDA which she claimed violated California law. Barnett on Monday notified the court that she and LaBeouf settled their case, noting that her ex “has agreed that the non-disclosure provisions (NDAs) contained” in the 2025 settlement “are terminated and void.”
LaBeouf faced additional legal turmoil for his arrests in February after his involvement in a Mardi Gras brawl. He pleaded guilty to three counts of simple battery in June.
Goth also faces legal issues. The British star was sued for battery in a 2024 lawsuit that accused her of “intentionally and willfully” assaulting and kicking an actor in the head while filming “Maxxxine” in 2023. Goth was sued alongside director West and movie studio A24. That case is ongoing and a jury trial is scheduled to begin April 17, 2028, according to a court order filed Monday.

Prime Video has unveiled a brand new one-off special as he takes on a “world first”.
Clarkson’s Farm fans are in for a treat after a special new project was announced(Image: Amazon)
Clarkson’s Farm fans will be seeing even more of Jeremy Clarkson as he takes on his toughest challenge yet.
Jeremy Clarkson fans can rejoice as Prime Video has just unveiled a brand-new special episode forming part of the beloved Clarkson’s Farm franchise, which will return for season six. In a one-off instalment, titled Jeremy Grows a Car: A Clarkson’s Farm Special, Jeremy Clarkson goes back to his Top Gear roots.
Prime Video teased the former Grand Tour star will use his automotive experience to undertake a world first, as he bids to grow and build his very own car from produce grown at Diddly Squat Farm. The streamer said: “During his tenure as one of the country’s most famous farmers, Jeremy Clarkson has tried to grow it all: wheat and barley, potatoes and mushrooms, even wasabi.
“But never before has he tried to grow something this ambitious. In fact, no one has. Growing a car is not for the faint-hearted.” Jeremy has decided to put his foot down when it comes to buying cars, saying he would rather make one himself.
Frustrated by modern motoring’s “nanny-state technology“, he will take it upon himself to build his new car. The framework for his grand plan will involve the Jaguar F-Type V6S, a car Jeremy thinks “represents the sweet spot between analogue driving thrill and modern practicality”.
But of course, this is no ordinary restoration, and alongside his very own Diddly Squat leather interior and wool carpets, he will attempt to grow a crop of flax fibre and turn it into a revolutionary and sustainable alternative to carbon fibre.
He will not be taking on the challenge alone, as helping him will be legendary car designer Ian Callum CBE – the man who designed the original F-Type. Prime Video concluded: “Jeremy’s redesigned Jaguar will feature everything he believes the iconic British brand should stand for: style, luxury and performance.”
The one-off special will be on Prime Video worldwide next year, while season six of Clarkson’s Farm will also launch in 2027. Clarkson has been open about the future of his beloved farming series, and in September he announced filming had pretty much wrapped.
Speaking exclusively to Radio Times after collecting the gong for reality docuseries at the National Television Awards, he shared: “We’ve nearly wrapped on six. A couple of weeks away from finishing that, and then it’ll be edited and translated and so on. But nearly done six, and then who knows?”
The latest season paid particular attention to his health scare after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but giving a further update on his current state, he shared: “I’m mended, I’m made of rock and steel. “Takes more than a little bit of prostate cancer…
“I would just say to everybody, if you’re my age, get tested. Just get tested, because I did, and they caught it early and were able to mend it. I was back at work in two weeks – so get tested.”
Clarkson’s health is not holding him back by any means as he continues to explore new ventures and find ways to utilise everything Diddly Squat Farm has to offer. He has also recently opened up about some extreme security measures he had to take to stop thieves at the farm, admitting “in the countryside, everything is stolen all the time”.
In his latest column for The Times, he told readers that thieves most frequently target quad bikes, hedge clippers, chainsaws, GPS systems and diesel. He said he’d introduced security measures to protect his diesel tanks, which are “safer than the three most secure places on earth”: Fort Knox in Kentucky, the Federal Reserve in New York and the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard.
Jeremy Grows a Car: A Clarkson’s Farm Special will air on Prime Video in next year.
A new Pixar animated film, the sequel to Lionsgate’s “Michael” and a large crop of indie projects are among the latest films to be awarded a California tax credit for in-state production.
In total, 35 films — including 28 independent projects — received production incentives in the latest round of incentives.
Together, the projects are expected to contribute more than $1 billion in direct production spending in-state and hire more than 5,400 cast and crew members and more than 24,800 background actors, the California Film Commission said Wednesday.
“California is the home of entertainment, full stop,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. “We’re not just protecting that legacy; we’re investing in its future.”
Pixar received the largest credit ($40.1 million) for an untitled animated film, followed by Lionsgate, which was awarded $30.8 million for the sequel to “Michael,” the film based on the life of Michael Jackson. Paramount Pictures got $29.3 million for an untitled crime thriller.
The latest round of tax credit awards comes less than a month after Newsom signed a bill to create the state’s first post-production incentive. Industry editors, sound mixers, visual effects artists and composers had said such a credit was necessary to lure jobs back from overseas.
On a national level, a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers is pushing to create a federal tax credit for film and TV. The bill is expected to be introduced in Congress in early November and backers are aiming to get it passed by Dec. 11, when the current Congress ends. If passed, the credit would take effect in 2027 and would be stackable with states’ production incentives.
The BBC’s natural history unit appear to have done it again with Blue Planet III and David Attenborough once again telling incredible stories from our oceans
Blue Planet III follows on from Blue Planet II in 2017 and has taken four years to make.
The new natural history series Blue Planet III with David Attenborough has taken four years to create – but it looks worth the wait.
It will build on the groundbreaking legacy of the previous two BBC series, redefining underwater wildlife film-making and telling untold stories and allowing us to see our oceans like never before.
The series will launch in the coming weeks, and follows on from Blue Planet II in 2017 which galvanised a global movement to rid our oceans of single use plastic. After invited guests were given a first glimpse of some scenes, the BBC released a trailer for the TV show.
Sir David, who turned 100 earlier this year, sent a recorded message to the launch event and said: “Twenty-five years ago, when I narrated the first Blue Planet series it didn’t occur to me that I would be narrating a third series in my centennial year. The ocean is an endlessly fascinating place.

“In these new programmes we uncover a further wonderful array of under-water life, which is more surprising, more sophisticated and even more important than we ever realised. I am proud and delighted to be associated with Blue Planet III.”
The six part series will show remarkable marine wildlife alongside Sir David’s astonishing storytelling. The highly anticipated series was a project Sir David said he was “proud and delighted” to be associated with.
The new series is accompanied by an original score from Hans Zimmer and Bleeding Fingers Music along with an original song, Into The Deep (Seas Cry) co-written by Jade, which features in the trailer.
Zimmer, who also scored Blue Planet II, said the series was the “most important work” he has ever done.
He said: “I’ve worked on a lot of films throughout my career, but nothing affects humanity, our world and our planet as much as the work being done by the Natural History Unit in Bristol.
“I think everybody who comes to Blue Planet comes to it with the knowledge that it is something that changes the world by making you fall in love with the world.
“It’s not something where you’re being lectured or cajoled about things but it’s something that just shows you how spectacular and beautiful our world truly is and how we need to preserve it and how we need to love it and how whatever we love we need to treat with great kindness and great respect.”
Jade, born Jade Thirlwall and best known for being a member of the pop group Little Mix, said she was a “huge fan” of the franchise and praised Sir David as being “a true hero” of hers.
* The six-part series Blue Planet III will air on the BBC later this autumn.
The Walt Disney Co. announced Wednesday that ESPN’s telecast of the NFL’s marquee event on Feb. 14 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. will be available to Disney+ subscribers. The company also said Disney+ will carry two ESPN “Monday Night Football” games in the current season.
ESPN is producing the Super Bowl for the first time in its history. The game is airing on Disney’s broadcast network ABC which last carried the game in 2006, and on ESPN and the ESPN app.
The addition of Disney+ makes the game available to casual fans who may not have cable or subscribe to a sports TV channel. The Super Bowl is the most-watched TV event of the year, with audiences exceeding 120 million viewers in recent years.
Streaming platforms are bringing in additional advertising revenue for the networks that carry the game.
In 2025, the Fox telecast of Super Bowl LIX averaged 13.6 million viewers on Tubi, the ad-supported streaming service owned by the network’s parent company. Fox was able to sell streaming-only ads on the telecast at around $2 million for a 30-second commercial. The spots aired in the commercial breaks for local Fox TV affiliates.
Disney is offering advertisers the opportunity to buy streaming-only ads across Disney+, the ESPN app, Hulu Live and Fubo. The company has already sold out the commercial time on the ESPN and ABC telecasts with some 30-second spots going for $10 million.
As a lead-up to the game, Disney+ will carry ESPN’s “Monday Night Football” match-up between the Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 26 and another contest later in the season.
Disney+ has been adding sports to its lineup, with select ESPN college football games and Formula E races now available on the platform.

The message exchange happened in May 2017 – eight months after the last alleged attack by Hayler, it was said.
The former stripper is accused of three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault against the girl between June and October 2016 – when she was 13 and Hayler and Katie were married.

Two Corrie stars are making their way back to the cobbles years after their last appearance, as Sarah Platt faces prison for the murder of Theo Silverton
James played prosecution barrister Robin Winchester in 2017 and appeared on the show on and off for the following six years. His character was last seen on Corrie as part of the legal team that put Justin Rutherford (Andrew Still) in prison for ten years after he carried out an acid attack on Daisy Midgely (Charlotte Jordan) and Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott).
Meanwhile, Amelia, who also played Juliette Holiday on Emmerdale, will return as legal barrister Georgina Romney, appearing on the show for the first time in more than six years.

Georgina was last on the show in 2020, when Yasmeen Nazir (Shelley King) was on trial for the attempted murder of her abusive husband Geoff Metcalfe.
Both barristers are expected to appear often during a week of episodes about Sarah Platt’s (Tina O’Brien) trial. The character faces prison after she murdered Theo Silverton (James Cartwright).
Theo was a huge villain on the show. He arrived in 2025 and started a relationship with Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce). He often exhibited controlling and abusive behaviour, slowly isolating Todd from his family and friends. During the Corriedale crossover, Theo left Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) to die, knowing that Billy had cottoned on to what he was doing to Todd.
Todd and Theo also got married, after which Theo started beating his husband. Todd eventually called the police, but Theo started stalking him. In April, he was discovered murdered outside of the flat he had shared with his husband and a whodunnit ensued.
It was later revealed that Sarah, one of Todd’s closest friends and his ex, had murdered Theo. She hit him to death with a scaffolding pole after Theo taunted her about the dead son she shared with Todd.
A dramatic new trailer teasing what is to come for Sarah Platt has already been released. In the sneak peek, Gary Windass (Mikey North), who helped Sarah cover up her crime by hiding the weapon, is seen insisting that her actions were in self-defence.
Tina O’Brien, who has played Sarah since 1999, said: “Sarah is absolutely terrified, she has been desperate for this day to come, but the reality of being brought up from the cells and standing in the dock is overwhelming.
“As the prosecution’s case is laid out, she is not sure things will go her way.” The dramatic episodes will air from Wednesday, October 14th on ITV, ITVX, STV and YouTube.
When Tina was first cast as Sarah, she was central to a controversial teenage pregnancy storyline and over the years, her character has been kidnapped several times. Her stepfather, who turned out to be a serial killer, infamously tried to drown her and the rest of the family by driving them all into a canal.
Since returning in 2015, Sarah has been married and divorced, and got away with covering up the murder of her drug dealer ex, Callum Logan, who was killed by her now-deceased sister-in-law, Kylie.
A quick glance from the sidewalk shows a midsize home in the Valley. Fallen leaves from a large tree scatter across the neatly trimmed front lawn. It’s just like any other house in a suburban neighborhood outside of Los Angeles.
Inside, there’s a whole network TV operation going on.
The three-bedroom chateau is packed with people. Every inch of space in the house is being used to make “Good Night With Ben Gleib” happen. The living room TV displays the multiple angles of cameras spread across the house. The pantry doubles as a control room while the backyard shed was turned into a venue for the musical guest.
It’s not a traditional late-night talk show. It’s not on a legacy network, it isn’t filmed in a studio, and the U.S. president isn’t calling the host a “deranged lunatic.”

This show is filmed in a room of Gleib’s house that was converted into an 18-seat studio. The host drinks a cocktail as he delivers his topical monologue in front of blue drapes, and after the taping concludes the cameras continue to roll and capture the nightcap, where Gleib mingles with audience members.
Rather than following the traditional path — from stand-up or sketch comedy to eventually landing behind a late-night desk — Gleib built his own opportunity and releases it on YouTube, a trend becoming more prominent in the comedy world.
“The landscape has changed very largely,” Gleib said. “It’s hard to make your mark in TV and a stand-up appearance on late night doesn’t change your career like it use to, you really have to find creative ways to create your dream career.”

Since “Lazy Sunday” from “Saturday Night Live” hit the airwaves and caught a second wind on YouTube, the comedy landscape “had changed forever,” according to Seth Meyers.
“What made it so great then and still today is that it was an instant hit but also felt DIY in a way things hadn’t for so long,” said the “Late Night” host in an interview with GQ.
Social media platforms like YouTube have helped make it easier for anyone with a camera to create original content and spread it to the masses. The hashtag “comedy” has 20 billion views on TikTok and genres such as stand-up and sketch comedy grow every year, according to Business Insider. Meanwhile, late-night television has taken a dip in audience and ad revenue.
The old guard of comedy is changing and the DIY movement has transformed fame in the comedy world. Comics no longer have to wait to get stage time on a late-night talk show, they just need to get it done, said Nicole Blaine, owner of the Crow comedy club. It is also inexpensive to create digital content. With platforms like TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, the ability to be seen is easier, she added.
“I don’t think you can count on anyone to ‘make it,’” Blaine said. “I think you literally have to make it yourself and I do believe that the industry [is] paying attention behind the scenes in more ways than the artists know.
“You want to be your own showrunner,” she added.

Representation comes and goes, but the fan base a comedian creates for themselves stays with them, Blaine said. Creating digital content for social media to back up a career in stand-up demonstrates that success is completely within the control of comics, she continued.
The DIY formula relies on taking advantage of the skills each performer has and using them to self-produce material to build a fan base, a concept that comedian Emmy Browning is putting into practice. Using her background in screenwriting, she pitched “Hands!” to the Elysian Theater and performed it for its Spaghetti Festival, designed to showcase new work, within three months.
“I essentially wrote, cast, directed, produced, got a crew together …,” she said. “It was just a crazy team of people that came together for no money to make this thing happen.”
“Hands!” spoofs FX’s “The Bear,” while satirizing TV conventions, like the will-they-won’t-they romantic plotlines, multicamera operation and filming in front of a live studio audience. Browning’s show was performed live while a camera crew shot different angles that were being projected on screens located on stage.
It made the stream of the show feel like an actual live performance. Now the stream can be seen by anyone, anywhere in the world, at any time. Browning said when her comic friends began to create clips for social media, they were able to travel around the country and perform for the fans they’ve garnered from their content.
“There are so many different ways and opportunities to be seen first,” Browning said. “…If you have the stamina to generate content online that promotes yourself, you can really make a living or create a fan base yourself.”
Self-producing isn’t only about promotion, it’s about creative ownership.
“There’s nothing as creatively freeing as being your own boss and not having to conform to network notes or the comedic ideas and opinions of people who have never been comedians and have never been recognized for their comedy skills,” Gleib said.
Guests are interviewed during the taping of “Good Night With Ben Gleib.”

The sentiment is shared by Ron Lynch, a comedian known for voicing Hugo, the neurotic health inspector in Fox’s animated series “Bob’s Burgers,” who’s produced a variety show at the Elysian Theater called “Tomorrow!” for 20 years now.
The show gives participants the opportunity to do whatever they want, within a five-minute time frame. Half the acts are stand-ups, the other half “are just weird.”
“We’re not responsible for sponsors or anything like that,” Lynch said. “We can basically do whatever we want.”
Self-producing allows creators to explore their voice without any limitations.
“What we do is provide entertainment,” Lynch said.
In the new DIY era, it is not a matter of when a performer will make it, but rather how much a performer really wants it, Blaine said. It’s a lot of work that needs to get done, even after a day job, but it will separate the people who want it badly over those not wanting to put in the time, she added.
It isn’t about landing a late-night talk show, it is about creating.
“It isn’t easy,” Blaine said. “But artists will always find a way if we really want to do it.”
The DIY movement also comes with big risks that will not work unless the comedian believes in it, said Gleib. His team is putting a lot on the shoulders of the comedian to reinvent late night and make it a lucrative business.
And if the big swing doesn’t work?
“I’ll have to come crawling back to the traditional entertainment industry, hoping that I still have a place there,” he added.
CHARLOTTE Dawson and her fiancé Matt Sarsfield’s closed beauty business has paid back just £10,000 of an £88,000 debt after its liquidation.
Latest documents for Dawsylicious Ltd, filed in June, confirmed the amount received, which is £5,000 short of the sum agreed with liquidators.

The business was unable to repay the overdrawn director’s loan in full so a reduced sum of £15,000 was agreed upon “taking into account Mr Sarsfield’s personal financial situation”.
That sum is repaid ahead of money owed to unsecured creditors, which, in this case, total £53,700 and won’t be paid back.
The company, which was launched in 2020 and counts Charlotte and Matt as its directors, had a rocky ride overcoming numerous compulsory strike-off actions before voluntarily being wound down in 2025.
The Sun has contacted a representative for Charlotte for comment.
Undeterred by the bust business, Charlotte, 34, has launched a new venture, Confidence Curve.

Mum-of-three Charlotte says on the brand’s site: “I created Confidence Curve because I wanted something real. Something that wasn’t about punishing yourself, being obsessed with the scales or thinking you have to be perfect to feel good in your own skin.
“I’ve had my own ups, downs, wobbles, confidence dips and moments where I’ve thought, ‘Right, I’m starting again Monday!’ And that’s exactly why I wanted Confidence Curve to be different.”
It features two payment tiers: Standard and VIP.
The basic package is £19.99 a month and features access to over 500 recipes, a meal planner,workout plans and more.
While the VIP is £59.99 and has all of the same features but includes one-to-one video calls and consultations with Charlotte.
Fiancé Matt is also part of the team as one of its trainers, along with fitness coach Kelly and nutritionist Sarah Griffiths.

Justin managed to introduce Simon King’s weather forecast and ask a BBC News journalist questions on Open AI’s breach of Australian government websites.
But it all became a bit too much for Justin, 65, and he was later sent to the Conservative party conference to give his voice a break.

Anna said: “It is 20 to seven now. Jonny Dymond is here, good morning.
“Important to say, if you’ve heard Justin’s voice this morning, he’s at the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham.
“He’s struggling a bit with his throat, so we’re saving him. We’re saving him for that. And Johnny, you’re here with me to continue with everything.”
Jonny, the Beeb’s royal correspondent, added: “Poor man has the conference lurgi that sweeps around these places every year.”
Fans flocked to X after hearing poor Justin’s hoarse voice.
“Crikey that sounds painful – a lorry load of Lemsip please for Justin Webb,” wrote one fan.
Another listener said: “Chip in a tenner to get him a pack of Lemsip.”
A third joked: “Justin Webb bravely presenting the Today programme despite apparently having swallowed a badger.”
“Is he ok?” added a fourth listener.
Justin has been the main presenter on BBCRadio 4 for 17 years.
Before his lengthy stint on the programme he was BBCNorth America Editor and served as their chief radio correspondent based in Washington D.C.
Big Brother viewers spotted an issue with this week’s nominations
Pauline is up for eviction(Image: ITV)
Fans think they have spotted a problem with this week’s nominations.
Big Brother viewers have admitted they have been left “raging” following the most recent episode. It comes after Tuesday’s (October 6) installment of ITV’s reality series saw the housemates choose who they want to be at risk of eviction, face-to-face.
As a result, tensions boiled over, and scenes showed Rochelle and Pauline clashing in the bathroom as they prepared for bed.
Pauline received the second-most nominations, with five, after Rob. The pair now face the public vote, with one expected to be forced to leave on Friday night.
It was the latest incident during the House of Revelations theme to put contestants’ opinions of one another under the spotlight. Frankie, Lynx, Omar, Philip, Rhianna, and Yasmin all picked Rob.
Pauline received five, from Lynx, Philip, Rhianna, Rochelle, and Catrin. Their reasons included her preference to only want to eat organic foods when they are available. Rochelle, however, questioned this as she had “seen her eating a pizza”.
Several fans watching along at home were immediately upset about how the latest nominations played out. Some are even refusing to vote this time around due to the limited choices.
One fan admitted: “Not voting this week – raging Omar got away with it. It’s insane to me. I can’t believe we have to suffer through another week of him.”
Another agreed: “Craaaazy how Rob is up over Rochelle. The things Rochelle has said and done, and we have Rob up? Insane.”
Some believe they have figured out the reason why. The most popular theory was that, because the nominations were face-to-face rather than in the Diary Room, some housemates changed their choices.
As one person explained: “It’s easier to nominate Rob face-to-face than it is Rochelle, even though half of them nominated her in the diary room last week. I was really surprised at Yasmin nominating Rob.”
Meanwhile, one viewer was surprised by Twinks considering her clashes with Omar. They said: “Twinks really annoyed me not nominating him though. If she did it would be 2v1 with a split vote for Pauline and Rob. Omar would have been a goner.”
One person offered a similar view: “I believe if the nominations were behind closed doors, it would’ve turned out differently. Especially with Phillip trying to save face this time, I imagine the same goes for the other housemates too.”
After Pauline suggested she could quit the house before Friday’s eviction, one person hoped that if it happened, it would mean the next highest nominated housemates would be up. They said: “I really want Pauline to walk please cause extra drama, Omar and Rochelle will also be up.”
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were back on the red sofa for the latest edition of BBC Breakfast
Jon Kay returned to screens on Wednesday(Image: BBC)
The hosts of BBC Breakfast shared some sad news this week.
Jon Kay and Sally Nugent were back in the studio on Wednesday (October 7) to deliver the latest headlines from across the UK and around the world. Later in the show, the presenters announced the death of an acting legend.
Eva Marie Saint, one of the last survivors of Hollywood’s golden age of the 1940s and 50s, has died at the age of 102. Her work on screen spanned six decades. She made her screen debut alongside Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, and also starred in North by Northwest and Superman Returns.
Representatives of the star said that she died on Tuesday (October 6) of natural causes at her Los Angeles home, surrounded by her loved ones. Sharing the news on BBC Breakfast, Sally said: “Tributes have been paid to one of the last stars of Hollywood’s golden age, the American actor Eva Marie Saint, who has died at the age of 102.”
Jon added: “In a career spanning nine decades, the oldest surviving Oscar winner became best known for her roles in the 1954 hit On the Waterfront with Marlon Brando, and later with Cary Grant in the spy thriller North by Northwest.” BBC culture correspondent Charlotte Gallagher then looked back on Eva’s life.
In the pre-recorded tribute, Charlotte said: “Eva Marie Saint, the ice-cool femme fatale, who meets Cary Grant on a train in Alfred Hitchcock’s Cold War spy classic North by Northwest. She seduces him, betrays him, but ultimately falls in love, after a terrifying escape from enemy spies across Mount Rushmore.”
Eva was the daughter of a tyre salesman from New Jersey. She initially thought of becoming a teacher, but modelling led to a small part in television, alongside former silent screen legend Lillian Gish.
As her acting career took off, Eva became known for appearing in Exodus, The Sandpiper, 36 Hours, and Grand Prix. She soon won a Primetime Emmy Award and an Academy Award.
Back in the studio, Sally then said, “Eva Marie Saint, whose death has been announced. The star of so many incredible films.”
Jon went on to say, “True end of an era stuff,” before Sally agreed, “Yeah.” The hosts then continued with their bulletin.
Tributes have flooded in for Eva, following the news of her death. “Oh no… But what a magnificent life!” one person wrote on X.
Another added: “No! I was just talking about how amazing it was that she was over 100 to my father yesterday!” A third said: “This is such sad news, what a wonderful actress and beautiful lady she was, RIP Eva Marie.”
Someone else echoed the sentiment, saying: “Damn. Not many left. Enjoyed her on Turner Classic. Great actress.” A fifth fan shared: “They just don’t make them like that anymore. What a loss.”
“Like I bought a sofa recently that’s probably going to outlast me, Bob. And I like to think my stents aren’t going to be the cause of my demise, you know?” His remarks came after Bob suggested that, although the stents needed no upkeep, they might eventually need replacing.
Paul’s heart disease was discovered following life-saving bowel surgery and the conversation surrounding his health featured in the third episode of the BBC programme’s first series, which saw Paul introduce Bob to fly-fishing for wild rainbow trout in Derbyshire. The pair spoke about their diets, before attention turned to Paul’s stents.
Asked how the stents worked, Paul offered a characteristically humorous explanation: “Some sort of very high-tech, futuristic kind of steel sleeve. They put it in, blow it up, leave it. Get on with it. Let this man carry on delighting millions.” Bob was also keen to know what adjustments Paul had been asked to make after his treatment.
“What had to change, obviously, is diet,” Paul admitted. “But it’s very difficult to resist a mini chocolate doughnut, for example, isn’t it?” Both comedians have experienced serious heart problems, and their shared health struggles inspired the fishing series, which is currently being repeated on BBC Two.
Bob had an emergency triple heart bypass in October 2015 after learning that 95% of his arteries were blocked. The pair’s daily health routines also featured in the episode. At the start, Bob played solemn music on his laptop while Paul listed all of his medication as he took it.
Away from the series, Whitehouse has been open about his stents and how he feels “lucky to be alive” after the operation. He told Saga Magazine: “In many ways I was lucky. When I had the heart stents, the guy who did it said, ‘Well I didn’t put them in for you to go and sit by the fire, so get up and go out’.
“I took him at his word, so I do a lot of exercise to keep myself ticking over.” In a Radio Times interview back in 2015, the star was asked whether he reflected on his own mortality, to which he replied: “Well, I should probably die. Although, there is a school of thought that thinks I will live forever.
“I mean obviously there are things in the world that make me very anxious but I don’t worry about illness. I don’t particularly worry about that. I worry much more about mental illness than physical illness. Again I wouldn’t say I lie awake at night worrying about what mental illness I might be afflicted with in future.”
Also previously speaking to GQ Magazine, the comedian said he was keen to be an advocate for heart health awareness, sharing: “It is because it is a heart attack decade. If you don’t get a scare in your fifties, you’re lucky. Because you either have a heart attack and die or you have problems that flag up serious issues.
“As your doctor, Chris Young put it: angina is the heart consultant’s friend because it is a warning sign at least. If you don’t get that, you could get a heart attack, which could be fatal, or you might be one of these people like Glenn Hoddle who think of themselves as fit, but actually get to 60 and discover they have a heart problem.”
The episode of Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing airs tonight on BBC Two at 10pm
