Sarah Paulson is getting her own star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame and like pretty much everyone on social media is saying, it's about damn time! The American Horror Story actress, 50, will be honoured in a ceremony on Tuesday 2 December, becoming the 2,829th star on the legendary Los Angeles walk. A star of stage and screen, Paulson is being recognised in the television category. The other categories are motion pictures, recording, radio, live performances and sports entertainment.

Is Kim Kardashian's legal drama All's Fair really the worst TV show of all time? What are the best (and worst) vegan cheeses? And 20 years after they first hit the shelves, five-toed shoes are apparently having a big fashion moment. But what is it like to wear them in public? As the year draws to a close, Guardian Live invites you to a special event with columnist Tim Dowling, film and TV writer Stuart Heritage, and cook and author Meera Sodha.

Best known for his portrayal of Andre "Dre" Johnson on ABC's Black-ish, Anderson not only starred in the series but also served as executive producer. The show became a cultural touchstone, using comedy to explore themes of identity, family, and progress. His creative influence extended to spin-offs like Grown-ish and a variety of hosting roles, including To Tell the Truth and the 75th Emmy Awards.

The family of Quentin Willson, television presenter and producer, motoring journalist, author, and campaigner, wish to announce that he passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on Saturday 8th November, following a short battle with lung cancer. He was 68. A true national treasure, Quentin brought the joy of motoring, from combustion to electric, into our living rooms. He helped shape the original Top Gear as one of its first hosts, working alongside Jeremy Clarkson and the team who took the pioneering show global.

Yes, the faux documentary format is overdone, and where "Stumble" hits wrong notes, it's because of its chosen format. We don't need to blur out dolls because the fictional toymaker doesn't give permission, or pretend like Courteney's own college cheer coach is refusing to participate in the show because of ill will between them. That's just manufactured silliness, and it reads as such.

But by the episode's last act, Joanne has realized that Noah can't maintain his faith and be with her if she won't commit to conversion. "You can't have both, and I would never make you choose," she tells him tearfully over the din of his niece Miriam's bat mitzvah. And so she dumps him - it's the most painless way to move forward - until the episode's final two minutes, when the pair run back into each other's arms once more.

There is still a storyline here; in fact, there are several ongoing threads, and I'm sensing that some seemingly throwaway scenes and interactions might remain relevant much later in the season. Broadly speaking, the plot follows a man who thinks he has discovered some sort of criminal conspiracy related to a chair company, then starts to lose control of his life as he travels deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. That's easy to get our heads around, even if some of the detours aren't.

The world. Ugh. Awful place. Can't recommend enough that you avoid it. I know I do. I am a man who craves distraction, seeing as how it's my best chance of isolating myself from all of the bullshit out there. This is why I don't watch the news. What kind of fucking lunatic wants to watch the news right now? They can't even do the news right anymore! They fucked it up, just like they fucked up everything else!

"I enjoy doing it. You know? I will pour hours trying to put the words together," Ralph said. "I had no idea that it was going to be me. Then they called my name. I was a, woah. Woah. It was as if that moment flipped the mic, and all of a sudden people could hear what I had been saying."

Beginning an episode of television with an appearance by Becky Ann Baker is a powerful move. It garnered a ten-minute standing ovation in my living room. And then to see her be joined by her real-life husband, Dylan Baker? What a gift! Not to mention that these are quite literally Karen Cartwright's parents on Smash. This is history. But this quick glimpse of them at the episode's start is just a tease.

Joe's debut one-hour special, titled You Let Me Down, premiered on Comedy Central in 2017, which he wrote, performed and directed. He recurred on AMC's Better Call Saul as crooked veterinarian Dr. Caldera and currently hosts the heavily followed podcast We'll See You In Hell, where he and Patrick Walsh review genre movies. From 2020 through 2024 DeRosa co-hosted the wildly popular Taste Buds-a food debate show-with Impractical Jokers Sal Vulcano, which was distributed through DeRosa and Vulcano's co-owned No Press Productions Network.

The aftermath of the stunning Kirk killing has prompted what observers on all sides see as an assault on free speech. Trump Attorney General Pam Bondi has drawn criticism for threatening to go after people over hate speech including mockery or celebration of Kirk's assassination and Trump blurted out an escalating series essentially warning that criticizing him is now illegal.

"We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them," Kimmel said. The backlash intensified after Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr publicly condemned Kimmel's comments, calling them "the sickest conduct possible." In an interview with YouTuber Benny Johnson, Carr also warned that affiliate licenses could come under review, and that broadcasters are required to operate "in the public interest."

From the daring and dashing Captain Kirk on "Star Trek," to a no-nonsense police sergeant on "T.J. Hooker," to his Emmy-winning turn as the eccentric lawyer Denny Crane on "Boston Legal," William Shatner has been a Hollywood icon for decades.

Comedian Nate Bargatze, who's been called the "nicest man in stand-up," will host the awards, airing live on CBS from Los Angeles' Peacock Theater.

Peacock's The Paper, Apple TV+'s The Morning Show, FX's The Lowdown, and Netflix's The Woman in Cabin 10 offer their own visions of who newspeople currently are and what the news should be. Their genres vary, as does the degree to which they actually assess current media culture and whether it's under attack. But they all share a baseline amount of respect for and hero worship toward their protagonists, which feels sometimes comforting, sometimes naïve.

Deirdre Coleman trod a very winding path to her chosen career as an interior designer, but the journey was worth it. She has her own company, is fronting RTÉ's popular Home Rescue and has turned a 1960s house into a sleek, contemporary family home "Great design is not just about style, it's about purpose and practicality, it's about how a home flows, how it feels and how it fits the family's needs. Their home has to work for them, not the other way around."

The format reminds me of PE lessons. You know how gym teachers split groups of friends up, so they concentrate? Here, Korean boy and girl groups such as JO1 and Blackswan are split in half. Each half works with a famous western pop artist, re-tooling their best-known song in K-pop mode. The resulting performances are voted for by the studio audience, and the winner gets well, nothing.

Rebranding often fails, but MSNBC's transition to MS Now feels surprising and smart, balancing the need for a fresh identity with continuity.

Noel Cunningham, a notable hotelier in Ireland, has embraced his roots by returning to his childhood home in Donegal, which he has filled with vibrant colors.

The Bachelor franchise's 'paradise' spinoff has gotten a more luxurious upgrade this season in Playa Samara, Costa Rica, featuring contestants seeking love amidst playful chaos.

Several new TV shows take on the fight for truth in media， including the 'Office'-esque comedy 'The Paper' and a new season of 'The Morning Show'. The TV landscape is experiencing a shift, reflecting the current climate of media skepticism and the quest for authenticity.

During a game of 'Pillow Talk', Cohen asked Byrne and Macfarlane for their first celebrity crushes. Byrne said hers was Kylie Minogue while the Bros star said, "controversially, it was Mark Wahlberg."

‘And Just Like That’ represents the end point of television drama’s evolution into content – pure content, no longer a strictly narrative format.

Chaos erupts after the USCSS Maginot, a Weyland-Yutani research ship, crash-lands in Prodigy City on Neverland, leading to a clash over its terrifying cargo.

"It's a shame because on paper everything suggests that CTV should actually perform better. There's less ad clutter. You can't skip ads. You can be more targeted. There's so many positives to it. But I think price is probably one of the biggest barriers."
