Paramount+ is known for hosting some of the best TV shows on any streaming platform, and in January 2025, the lineup remains just as strong as ever. The first month of 2025 sees the arrival of the original Matlock TV series as it joins the new Kathy Bates reboot. This classic courtroom drama, starring Andy Griffith, includes all nine seasons. Sci-fi fans get a treat in January, as the new Star Trek series Section 31 premieres on January 24. Michelle Yeoh reprises her role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery.

The biggest news coming in December was that Paramount+ is removing several TV shows from its streaming service. This isn't anything new since both Paramount and Showtime removed several shows last year. The streaming service axed several Nickelodeon shows, including Doug, Blue's Room, Kung-Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness, Fanboy & Chum Chum, The Penguins of Madagascar, Big Time Rush, and Breadwinners (via Us Weekly). In better news,...

A course correction after the wild genre experimentation of last year’s Pink Tape, Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake 2 isn’t so much an evolution of 2020’s Eternal Atake as it is a watered-down rehash of it. Gone are the personality, ambition, and world-building visions that defined those previous two albums, replaced with 16 tracks’ worth of disjointed flows, bland beats, and shaky vocal performances.

In theory, a sequel like this should be a cakewalk: a snappy collection of vaguely poppy, energetic crowd-pleasers with just enough drill influence to still qualify as rap. In other words, Uzi’s bread and butter. But the minimal legwork required to get there is sorely lacking here, and Eternal Atake 2 suffers from a serious lapse in quality control.

Say what you will about the lyrical drivel coming from Uzi’s mouth half the time—the low point being two different songs hinging on cringe-worthy homophones,...

Alexa PenaVega is speaking out about a new Lil Uzi Vert song that was just released on Friday (November 1).

The 36-year-old actress’ husband Carlos PenaVega‘s boy band Big Time Rush is featured on the track, “The Rush,” off of Uzi’s new album Eternal Atake 2, but Carlos was not involved whatsoever.

Alexa took to Twitter/X to update fans and share why he chose not to partake, and took issue with it being a “Big Time Rush” feature.

All three seasons of the acclaimed Israeli drama Shtisel, Nickelodeon sitcom Big Time Rush and Oscar winner Brokeback Mountain are among the titles leaving Netflix in March 2023.

Shtisel, which follows a Haredi family living in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood in Jerusalem as they deal with love, loss and daily life, was a hit on Israel’s Yes network, drawing in viewers and awards locally. The series also seemed to attract an audience in the U.S. once it started streaming on Netflix. All three seasons are set to exit Netflix on March 24.

The next day, fans of the Nickelodeon sitcom Big Time Rush, which launched the band of the same name, will have to bid farewell to watching the bandmembers’ fictional antics from 2009 to 2013 on Netflix, just as the group recently reunited.

At the end of the month, Netflix is dropping the Jesse Eisenberg-, Danny McBride- and Aziz Ansari...

Ryan Murphy’s Glee was an inexplicable phenomenon in its early years. A darkly comedic musical series set in a high school glee club didn’t sound like it would pull nearly 10 million viewers an episode, but the show was a runaway success for Fox from the start.

In the decade since it debuted, however, Glee has had a tumultuous public image. The show’s quality burnt out fast, trying to keep up with what was popular on the radio as well as what the fans wanted from the series and its characters.

Santa Claus was forced to play second banana at this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, thanks to the only person who could possibly out-Christmas St. Nick.

It’s Turkey Day, which means it’s also time to watch a bunch of giant balloons float through New York City as part of the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. This year’s event is of particular interest given that the past few years’ events were marked by Covid protocols and had less of an in-person presence.

If you’re wondering what time the parade starts, where you can stream it and who’s in it, we’ve got all your questions answered below.

What Time Does the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Start?

The parade begins at 9 a.m. Et on Thursday, Nov. 24. But it will be airing at 9 a.m. local time in all time zones, so only the east coast will be truly watching it live.

When one thinks of iconic slasher villains, three names come to mind: Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, and Michael Myers — and horror actor Tom Morga has played all three. Tom Morga is mainly known for his various Star Trek roles, as he's technically the most-seen stuntman on the series. It's not hard to believe, considering he's performed stunts in six different Star Trek productions, including The Next Generation and The Final Frontier. The stuntman has also turned into a stunt coordinator for several projects, such as Big Time Rush and Dead Air. In 2007 Tom Morga was awarded the Taurus World Stunt Award for "Best Fight" in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

To be a proper horror villain is no easy feat. One can't be too expressive when shielded by a mask or heavy prosthetics. So, actors like Tom Morga have had to rely on their body language alone...

With the snow coming down and hot cocoa on the stove, is there anything more relaxing than holiday TV episodes coming on? As kids, Nickelodeon and Disney reigned supreme and they had iconic holiday-themed episodes for our favorite TV shows.

From '90s cartoons like Hey Arnold! to live-action shows like Side Hustle, Nickelodeon had some amazing holiday specials that were ranked highly on IMDb.

Updated on November 21st, 2022, by Lynn Gibbs: Nickelodeon may be a network directed toward kids and teens, but its holiday episodes are for everyone.

Jessica Simpson’s memoir, Open Book, is getting the TV treatment.

Freevee, the ad-supported streamer backed by Amazon, has handed out a pilot order for Open Book. The half-hour scripted comedy will star singer, songwriter and actress Katelyn Tarver and Fuller House grad John Stamos.

Open Book is described as a propulsive, music-soaked coming-of-age story that is inspired by Jessica Simpson’s best-selling memoir. The show follows pop star Sadie Sparrow (Tarver) from her mid-20s rise from ingenue to mogul, introducing viewers to the family, friends and lovers she collects along the way. The comedy is expected to touch on themes of love, friendship, divorce, family and sisterhood, relationships, soul connections, Hollywood and the music business as it follows Sadie’s unexpected journey as she ultimately comes to embrace herself and the fact that her heart inevitably wants what it wants at every stage of life.

Amazon Freevee has ordered the half-hour scripted pilot “Open Book,” based on the memoir by reality TV and pop star Jessica Simpson. The project stars Katelyn Tarver (“Ballers”) as Sadie Sparrow, a young singer based on Simpson, while John Stamos (“Full House”) is on board as Butch, an older musician who’s tasked with writing songs with Sadie — but soon their connection is much more than that.

Tom Kapinos is the writer and executive producer behind “Open Book,” while Adam Bernstein is director and EP.

Simpson also serves as an EP, along with Patrick Moran, Lauren Auslander and Lacy Lynch. Pkm Prods. is behind the show, along with Amazon Studios. Here’s the logline: “‘Open Book’ follows pop star Sadie Sparrow’s mid-twenties rise from ingenue to mogul, introducing us to the family, friends, and lovers she collects along the way.

When Charli D’Amelio started posting dance videos to TikTok in 2019, the now 18-year-old could never have imagined it would lead to a clothing line with her older sister Dixie, countless brand deals and a family reality show. Despite the stigma that often accompanies the TikTok famous who attempt to transition to Hollywood, the D’Amelios have prevailed, as Dixie’s blossoming music career and Charli’s casting in filmmaker F. Javier Gutiérrez’s upcoming horror film attest.

Season 2 of Hulu’s reality series “The D’Amelio Show,” premiering Sept. 28, zeroes in on the family’s adjustment to celebrity — particularly as Charli realizes she may want to try her hand at music. Though she fears stepping on the toes of Dixie — who released her debut album in June and toured with Big Time Rush — Charli also wants to follow her heart after struggling to find her place outside of TikTok.
