Jeff Probst is really changing things up on Survivor 50, and he’s doing it by showing a much more playful side as host. He’s surprised the contestants with funny impressions and even rapped to announce a tribe swap chosen by fan votes.
I was so touched to see the premiere of the new Michael Jackson biopic in Germany! Jermaine Jackson’s son, who plays Michael in the film, had a beautiful family showing of support – his cousins, Prince and Bigi (also known as Blanket) Jackson, were right there with him. It was a really special moment for the whole family.

Sony recently announced a list of games leaving PS Plus in May, as shown in the “Last Chance to Play” section on PS5 consoles. The biggest loss is likely Control: Ultimate Edition, the PS5 version of the popular action game by Remedy Entertainment. Also leaving the service are two games from The Dark Pictures Anthology, and both the PS5 and PS4 versions of the indie game Mortal Shell.
I have to admit, I totally missed Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken when it came out last summer. It’s about this really relatable, awkward teen who finds out she’s descended from a whole line of powerful kraken warriors – basically, she’s meant to protect the oceans! Sadly, it didn’t do so well in theaters, only making around $46 million worldwide on a $70 million budget. It ended up being a pretty big loss for DreamWorks Animation, actually their second lowest-grossing film ever. But honestly, it’s a really good animated movie, and I’m glad it’s finally available on Peacock as of April 20th so more people can check it out!
The season finale of the Scrubs revival introduced Rachel Bilson as Charlie, and her arrival could shake things up even more. Charlie meets J.D. while visiting her grandmother in the hospital gift shop, and they quickly connect, suggesting a potential romance. This means fans hoping to see J.D. and Elliot get back together might have to wait. This new pairing also offers a chance to revisit and celebrate the often-overlooked 2006 romantic comedy, The Last Kiss.
I’ve been a fan of Titus Welliver for ages! He’s amazing in everything he does – you probably recognize him from shows like Lost (as the Man in Black), Deadwood, Sons of Anarchy, The Equalizer, and especially as Harry Bosch in Bosch and Bosch: Legacy. Plus, he’s been in a bunch of Ben Affleck’s movies like Gone Baby Gone, The Town, Argo, and Live by Night. I’m so excited because his new movie, his first since wrapping up Bosch: Legacy, is finally hitting streaming soon!
Andy Weir, the author of Project Hail Mary, has revealed a new story set in the same universe as his popular novel and movie.
