When a sitcom runs for upwards of 10 seasons or more, showrunners and their writing staffs have to get creative to keep things fresh (as any faithful "Cheers" fan could tell you). Actually, that's not entirely true. Depending on the audience, sometimes an endless string of celebrity cameos is enough to keep folks tuning in long after the novelty of the original hook has worn off.

It's probably not fair to say that a show as beloved as "The Big Bang Theory" relied heavily on splashy cameos to remain buzzworthy, but the rate at which the sitcom deployed them felt a tad shameless. Some of the one-and-done guest appearances made sense for the geek-skewing show -- e.g. Mark Hamill, James Earl Jones, and Leonard Nimoy were natural fits. On the other hand, "Big Bang Theory" guests like Jessica Walter, June Squibb, and Billy Bob Thornton seemed to come out of nowhere.

The stars of Tyler Sheridan‘s new show are stepping out in London!

Jon Hamm, Demi Moore, Billy Bob Thornton, and Ali Larter attended the premiere of their new show Landman on Friday (November 8) held at Tate Modern in London, England.

Fellow cast member James Jordan was also in attendance along with Jon‘s wife Anna Osceola.

Earlier in the day, the stars attended a photo call for the show.

Here’s the full plot summary, via Deadline: “Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune seeking in the world of oil rigs. Based on the 11-part podcast Boomtown, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.”

Landman premieres on Sunday, November 17, and will launch with two episodes. Subsequent episodes of the 10-episode long...

Before her tenure in The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco was notable for her stint in 8 Simple Rules, in which she starred opposite sitcom icon John Ritter, who played Cuoco’s onscreen father Paul. However, their bond wasn’t confined to their gigs on the show, as Cuoco has continued to gush about her time with the actor, who tragically passed away in 2003.

Demi Moore, whose performance in Coralie Fargeat’s “The Substance” as been praised as Oscar-worthy, will receive a career tribute at the French Cinematheque in Paris on Nov. 5, ahead of the movie’s local release.

The feminist body-horror movie stars Moore as Elisabeth Sparkle, a recently fired daytime-tv who uses a black market drug that creates a younger version of herself, with dangerous side effects.

Underscoring Mubi’s big theatrical push, the movie already ranks as an indie hit, having grossed $53.6 million worldwide since its Sept. 20 release, including $14.5 million in North America. It’s Mubi’s biggest B.

Prevention is better than cure, and no one has advocated for this more than the Hollywood icon Angelina Jolie, who underwent a preventive double mastectomy, after learning about her defective gene. Considering how BRCA1 significantly increases the risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer in women, Jolie revealed going under the knife and starting a new health reform.

Before Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s love affair took the world by storm in 2003, the actress had already been in a high-profile relationship.

Billy Bob Thornton discusses his crazy love with Angelina Jolie

Over a decade after Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie split up, the actor opened up about his marriage to the actress.

We’ve all heard stories about our favorite stars acting like complete jerks on the set, whether it’s lashing out at cast and crew members or showing up whenever the hell they want because they know cameras won’t roll without them. And we’ve seen them act quite grouchy in public as well, although it’s hard to blame them for wanting to not be bothered every time they leave the house. And if he had his way, Chris Pratt would make sure every prominent celebrity would be pleasant and patient both on the set and with fans.

Appearing at New York Comic Con (via People), Chris Pratt addressed his fellow Hollywood stars, particularly those who turn into primadonnas on the set. “Look, these guys can attest to this, because they’re the same way, like, there’s no room for sh*tty attitudes there. You can’t have a bad…...

A funny thing happened to a bunch of actors before they made it to the podium to accept their Academy Awards. Long before they received the industry’s highest recognition, they appeared in goofy sitcoms that didn’t exactly predict triumphant movie careers.

Here are five actors who eventually took home the Oscar — but not before generating a few canned laughs in front of a live studio audience…

After Spielberg tossed him another gift with The Goonies, Quan found himself on Together We Stand, a generic blended-family sitcom starring Elliott Gould and E.T.’s Dee Wallace as Mom and Dad. The show was so lousy that it killed off Gould after six episodes and...

But let’s not forget that the actress, 49, is more than just a fierce femme fatale; she’s tempted audiences in films like Changeling, and Original Sin. Nonetheless, it’s the latter that landed her in a bit of a pickle. Well, it all started when she made some comments regarding his co-star Antonio Banderas’ ex-wife that didn’t sit too well with the public.

“I don’t know the last time I watched so many films! And they’re all amazing, all so daring, so courageous!”

You can hear the excitement in Lee Daniels’ voice. He’s running between screenings in a movie marathon at the Zurich Film Festival, where the Oscar-nominated director of Precious, and co-creator of TV’s Empire, is president of this year’s competition jury.

“I’d forgotten what this is like,” says Daniels, referring to the international art house cinema scene. “It’s a real return to my roots for me.”

Daniels started his film career in the indie world, as a producer on Marc Forster’s Monster’s Ball. The powerful, disturbing look at the American prison system and the poisonous legacy of institutional racism is told through the unlikely romance between a white prison guard (Billy Bob Thornton) and the Black widow of a man he executed (Halle Berry...

Following the studio audience vote, Leaf Sheep became the first to unmask, revealing two-time Super Bowl champion John Elway. Watch our video interview above.

“At this stage of my life, I think it would be good for me to get out of my comfort zone,” says the 64-year-old Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee. “Plus I’ve got 10 grandkids, so I thought that they’d think it would be pretty cool to see Poppy be on ‘The Masked Singer.’ Even though I got voted off, that’s okay, it was a great experience for me to do it.”

In the trailer for the second season of Lioness, Zoe Saldaña says in voiceover, “There’s no such thing as a moral war. There’s survival, and there’s surrender.”

The opener sets up the tense first look at the return of the Paramount+ espionage thriller from Taylor Sheridan. The stellar cast is back — including Laysla De Oliveira, Genesis Rodriguez, Michael Kelly, and executive producers Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman — when season two premieres Oct. 27 with two episodes.

“How did we get to where we are today? Nobody’s innocent. Nobody,” Freeman impresses upon Kelly. Elsewhere, Kidman warns that no one can be trusted, while Saldaña stresses to a new recruit, “Do you love your country? Your country needs more.”

Here is the logline for season two: “As the CIA’s fight against terror moves closer to home, Joe (Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Kidman) and Byron (Kelly) enlist a new Lioness operative...

Like any great awards ceremony, some of the best surprises at the 2024 Emmys were those winners that had not quite been on people’s radars. To think that in all 10 years and five seasons that “Fargo” has been on the air, featuring celebrated performances from stars like Billy Bob Thorton, Kirsten Dunst, and Ewan McGregor, the first actor to win for their work on the anthology series is Lamorne Morris, with the “New Girl” alum even besting Robert Downey Jr. and his five different roles on “The Sympathizer.”

And far be it to bet against “The Bear,” which broke its own record for most Emmy wins for a single season of a comedy series but star Liza Colón-Zayas became the first Latina to ever win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, having won the category against icons Meryl Streep and Carol Burnett. Though that factoid went unmentioned during the...

Taylor Sheridan is arguably the greatest modern storyteller when it comes to Westerns, who breathed new life into the genre on both big and small screens over the last decade. While the revered writer has occasionally strayed away from the genre to delve into other projects like the Mayor of Kingstown, Westerns have completely dominated his filmography since his rise to prominence.

But instead of exploring new grounds after Yellowstone, which is set to end later this year, the writer is sticking to this format with his new project, starring Jon Hamm.
