Neither Eric nor Shannon Evangelista have had the career paths you would expect from a major player in nonfiction TV.
The former spent 14 years as a broadcast news reporter and newspaper journalist; the latter started her career as a federal criminal defense attorney, working in District Attorney offices from Manhattan to Orange County. But it’s precisely this background that helps the Hot Snakes Media co-owners stand out from the pack, particularly with true crime projects like Investigation Discovery’s buzzy “The Curious Case of Natalia Grace.”
“I was turned down for showrunning jobs at Discovery Channel a year before we started ‘Breaking Amish’ and ‘Amish Mafia,’ which were our first two shows and were record-breaking ratings successes for Discovery,” Eric Evangelista told TheWrap.
Since that pair of 2012 breakouts, Hot Snakes Media has been a production company behind other hit shows like Netflix’s “Deaf U,” VH1’s “My True...

Wayne Brady recently reflected on his coming out as pansexual, indicating the reaction he’s received is what he’d “hoped for.”
The host of Let’s Make a Deal came out as pansexual last year and said he’s “happy” he did so due to the “level of freedom” he can enjoy.
In recognition of his advocacy and support of the LGBTQ+ community, Brady received the Pathfinder Award at Live Out Loud’s 23rd annual Young Trailblazers Gala in New York City this week.
Ahead of the big event, Brady spoke about what it’s been like for him after coming out last year.
“It’s been a year. Folks expect your life to change in some radical way, and it doesn’t,” he told People, adding, “It just changes that you get a level of freedom that you’re happy with.”
“No one’s going to throw me a parade.

Considering how much build-up Longlegs has had – with the stream of teasers, posters and symbols – the horror film had a lot to live up to, at least how it was being marketed. Fortunately for the involved parties, Longlegs looks to be one of the horror flicks to see so far this year, with most praising it for being an unnerving work that features stellar performances and channels The Silence of the Lambs.
Check out some of the early reviews of Longlegs below:
I was so lucky to see #Longlegs, and no exaggeration: it could be the best horror film of ‘24. Oz Perkins can really get under my skin; this is his masterpiece. Monroe gives a fabulously unique lead performance, and Cage? Nightmarish. Maybe the scariest 1st 10 mins, ever. pic.twitter.com/ImMEDDxGXi

So although The Manny, written by screenwriters Tamar Halpern and Scotty Mullen, isn’t on the same level as this year’s She’s Obsessed with My Husband, it’s still got plenty to recommend.
Lani McCall (Joanne Jansen) is a food vlogger on the rise. She’s on the cusp of signing a major network contract, thanks to love interest Zack (Brendan Morgan), but her recent divorce from unreliable husband Darren (Jamaal Grant) has left her in a precarious child care situation.
Lani tends to rely on assistant/producer Mercedes (Hailey Summer), but it’s not a sustainable situation. What she really needs is a nanny for her son, Jaylen (Ashton Ayres); ideally as soon as possible.

Still, they usually make for interesting contestants, but not in the case of Jesse Blasdell. The Gulf War II vet from Skowhegan, Maine, came onto Alone Season 4 with his brother Shannon.

Say what you want about Emily Simpson, but she’s a straight shooter through and through.
The Real Housewives of Orange County star gets a lot of slack from fans, but they might change their tune when she goes head-to-head with Shannon Beador in the new season.
Tensions are brewing between the two women and Emily threw major shade at her castmate.
During an interview with producer Alex Baskin, the 48-year-old confessed that it’s “hard to be friends” with Shannon.
Meanwhile, this is gearing up to be an excruciating season for Shannon, who already has to contend with her ex-boyfriend John Janssen’s new romance with returning Housewife, Alexis Bellino.
Added to that is her contentious fallout with former bestie and Tres Amigas partner Tamra Judge, who’s no longer her ally on the show.
Shannon’s relationship with Gina Kirschenheiter was also on the fritz after a tense confrontation at the Season 17 reunion.

Tensions are brewing between the two women and Emily threw major shade at her castmate.
During an interview with producer Alex Baskin, the 48-year-old confessed that it’s “hard to be friends” with Shannon.
Meanwhile, this is gearing up to be an excruciating season for Shannon, who already has to contend with her ex-boyfriend John Janssen’s new romance with returning Housewife, Alexis Bellino.
Added to that is her contentious fallout with former bestie and Tres Amigas partner Tamra Judge, who’s no longer her ally on the show.

Pat Sajak has already filmed his last few episodes of Wheel of Fortune, and some fans might feel glad about that; particularly one whom he roasted for some time on a recent airing of the game show. He just would not let go when it came to Jennifer’s hairstyle.
Pat Sajak Can Be Kind To Contestants On The Game Show
Sometimes, when the host becomes too generous, fans will roast the game show host. When a constant missed one letter out of the word “Everglades,” but went on to win a good prize, people felt furious. Some of them decided that he should already retire. Well, it’s not long before Ryan Seacrest takes over and then he will probably get ripped for making mistakes on Wheel of Fortune.

It was a busy hour for Eddie Diaz during 9-1-1 Season 7 Episode 5.
The firefighter found himself in a bit of a crisis when his relationship with his newly live-in girlfriend Marisol hit a snag, and he had to do some serious thinking about his past and how it's affecting him now and, ultimately, how it could affect the future.
I caught up with Ryan Guzman on a recent Zoom to break down the hour, including Eddie's relationship revelations, the dynamic between Eddie and Buck, and the importance of Eddie's relationship with Bobby.
When I chatted with Ryan before 9-1-1 Season 7 Episode 1, he talked about seeing a lighter and more hopeful Eddie, which has definitely been the case thus far through this truncated season.

Good Times star John Amos is speaking out just days after the Los Angeles Police Department closed its investigation into claims of elder abuse. The investigation came after the actor’s daughter, Shannon Amos, claimed her father was a victim of “elderly abuse” last June. Per TMZ, the allegations were brought up again when Shannon called Adult Protective Services this spring. The Aps sent the case to the LAPD, who then launched an investigation, which found no evidence of wrongdoing. “I want to first of all thank the LAPD for their professionalism and thoroughness in their investigation in which they concluded that I am doing well,” John said in a statement, per People. “This is the same thing I have been saying all along in my response to the media.” The Roots actor continued, “I want to thank my fans for their kind words to me in support of my movement everywhere I travel.

John Amos is not the victim of elder abuse, according to a police investigation that found no proof to substantiate the claims made by the actor’s daughter, Shannon Amos. According to TMZ, the Los Angeles Police Department spoke to parties on both sides of the matter and officially closed the investigation. It was said that police found no wrongdoing and that there was not enough evidence to bring charges against anyone. The latest news comes after Shannon opened a GoFundMe page for her father last June, when he was 83, claiming he was a victim of “elderly abuse.” However, the page was later taken down after John and his son, K.C. Amos, said the claims were false and that Shannon was the one inflicting the abuse. At the time, Shannon claimed she’d contacted the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and alleged that her father was not receiving proper care at an intensive care unit.

Michael Shannon has done his fair share of high-budget films, like Man of Steel, but the actor has not shied away from doing smaller projects either. However, working on a particular project allowed the actor to meet one of the industry greats, something he likened to being a ‘dream’.

A Little White Lie is a cerebral literary thriller film, revolving around Shannon’s character, who is a down-on-his-luck handyman who gets mistaken for a celebrity writer. The film had a box office run of only $22,482 (via Box Office Mojo), but that does not mean the cast was not stuffed with talented artists of the industry, one that Shannon couldn’t believe he was working with: M.

Get ready to see Gina Kirschenheiter amid the drama as she was spotted in an intense scene with a new cast member.
