Singer-songwriter Sonny Curtis, who composed the theme song for The Mary Tyler Moore Show and other classic hits like “I Fought the Law” and “Walk Right Back,” has died at the age of 88. Curtis died Friday at a hospital in Nashville from what his daughter, journalist Sarah Curtis Graziano, said were complications of pneumonia. Born in West Texas at the height of the Great Depression, Curtis’ 70-year career brought him relatively little public recognition despite his composing hundreds of songs for a wide variety of different artists, including country icon Keith Whitley, teen rock-and-roll sensation Bobby Vee, and steel-string duo the Everly Brothers. As well as writing and performing “Love Is All Around” for Tyler Moore, he also played guitar for Buddy Holly when the rock icon was just starting out, opening for other acts like Elvis Presley. Curtis’ daughter said he came to appreciate the fact that he was not a well-known figure as he enjoyed music industry success in his later years. “He was able to live a normal life but still make a living in the music business,” Curtis Graziano said. “And that’s no small feat.”
Dawson’s Creek star ​​James Van Der Beek has dropped out of a cast reunion and reading of its pilot script, suffering from a pair of “stomach viruses.” He was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in August 2023 and said he had been particularly “looking forward” to the New York event raising funds for F Cancer. In his place will be Hamilton icon Lin-Manuel Miranda, who Van Der Beek heaped praise on in a post on Instagram announcing his absence and celebrating the substitute. “This is the evening I’d been looking forward to MOST” he said. “So you can imagine how gutted I was when two stomach viruses conspired to knock me out of commission.” The event, at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Monday, is due to host various members of the original cast, including stars Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, and Joshua Jackson, per The Hollywood Reporter. Revealing Miranda would be taking his place, Van Der Beek continued, “But I DO have an understudy… A ridiculously overqualified replacement who would have been #1 on my wishlist… Someone my kids would definitely consider an upgrade over me… Plus, he already knows how to get to the theater. So that’s convenient.”

Hollywood star Tom Holland had to be rushed to the hospital for treatment of a head injury after a stunt went wrong during filming of the latest Spider-Man movie. Filming on the $200 million blockbuster was paused after the 29-year-old British actor was treated for what was reported to be a mild concussion at a studio in Watford, England. A woman thought to be a female stunt double was also hospitalized as a precaution, The Sun reports. The newspaper said Holland was thought to have “cracked his head in a fall” in a botched stunt on Friday morning that could set back the production by weeks. But a source close to the production told Deadline that Holland was taking a break “out of precaution” and is expected to resume filming in a few days. Holland was spotted at a charity gala in London with fiancée Zendaya over the weekend, but reportedly left the event early after feeling ill. His father, Dominic Holland, also at the event, told reporters his son would be out of action “for a while” while he recovered from the ordeal. The latest Spider-Man movie, titled Brand New Day, is expected to be released next July. Studio execs will hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday to adjust the production’s filming schedule in light of Holland’s injury, Deadline reported.
A big cat trainer known to Joe Exotic has been killed in an “accident involving a tiger under his care.” Ryan Easley was not breathing by the time deputies reached him at the Growler Pines Tiger Preserve in Hugo, Oklahoma, according to the Choctaw County Sheriff via KXII. The site has canceled all tours and confirmed Easley’s death. “This tragedy is a painful reminder of both the beauty and unpredictability of the natural world,” it wrote, adding, “The animals under his care were not just animals to him, but beings he formed a connection with.” PETA, which called on such exhibitors to “send the animals to accredited sanctuaries,” claims Easley first got his tigers from Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado. The Oklahoman reported Exotic initially posted a since-deleted tribute to Easley, saying, “Prayers go out to his family. Ryan took great care of his animals!” That has been replaced with a post on X saying, “This is the c— I am sick of. CNN drags me into this story to make a headline worth reading and I had nothing to do with this dude other than 18 years ago I let him keep his tigers at my zoo for one winter.”

Donald Trump has revealed he made some “very big people” immediately leave the Oval Office when he was told about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10. Speaking at Kirk’s memorial in Arizona on Sunday, the president explained how he met the 31-year-old through his sons Eric and Donald Jr. During his speech, Trump also spoke of the “surreal experience” of being told that Kirk had been assassinated. He was shot while appearing at an open-air event at a college campus in Utah. Explaining how hearing the news was a “horrible moment,” Trump said, “I had some very big people in the Oval Office and I was in the midst of a very important conversation for our country.” He added they were, “big people, the biggest.” The president recalled telling his guests they had to leave. “When they told me that, they told me in front of a group of very powerful people, I said, ‘You have to leave now, right now, please right now, you have to leave, go.’” The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment. As well as sharing the stage with Kirk’s widow, Erika, Trump also recalled how Kirk would call him the night before a big event, asking him to be a guest speaker. “I’d say, ‘Charlie… I’m the president of the United States. You want me to travel four hours by plane?’ And you know, sometimes I did it.”
Harry Styles has successfully run the Berlin Marathon–but eventgoers might not have taken notice. Dressed in sunglasses and with a bandana on his head, the former One Direction star reportedly ran the event on Sunday under the pseudonym Sted Sarandos, seemingly a nod to Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. The 31-year-old finished the 26.2-mile course in 2 hours, 59 minutes, 13 seconds. Paralympic gold medalist Richard Whitehead posted a photo on Instagram standing next to Styles after finishing the marathon, with the caption “2.58 in Berlin with my mate!! Anyone know him!!” A total 80,000 competitors took part in the race over what is considered the fastest marathon course in the world. The event was won by Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe, who clocked at 2:02:16. German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel said Styles had been seen running in Berlin to prepare for Sunday’s race. Styles has developed a taste for running this year, after competing in March in the Tokyo marathon, where he beat more than 20,000 other runners. The singer has released no music since his Love on Tour world tour ended in July 2023, showcasing his Grammy-winning Harry’s House album from 2022. Styles has been romantically linked to actress Zoe Kravitz.
A tech entrepreneur tragically plummeted to his death after climbing a massive California mountain. Matias Augusto Travizano, 45, fell 2,000 feet after reaching the peak of Mount Shasta in Siskiyou County, California, People reported. Travizano and two others were making their way down when he and another climber reportedly veered off the main trail and became stranded on an ice sheet near the northern edge of the Wintun Glacier, the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office said. The pair tried to slide down to a lower area to get back on the trail when Travizano started “sliding out of control,” the outlet reported. He then collided with a boulder 300 feet below and was knocked unconscious for five to 10 minutes, according to the report, while his climbing partner tried to reach him. Travizano then regained consciousness, which dislodged him from the rock and he slid down the glacier out of sight. Authorities discovered Travizano at an elevation of 10,200 feet near the the base of the Wintun Glacier.
Adele has reportedly been approached about performing for the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. She has not accepted the gig as of now, according to insiders who spoke to Page Six. Sources close to the matter have shared that Adele is in talks to perform the iconic show, which will take place next February in Santa Clara, California. Adele herself has previously said she did not like football, stating she only attended football games to watch Rihanna perform. However, NFL and sponsor Pepsi denied the claims to Page Six, commenting “We have had conversations with several artists about the Pepsi Super Bowl half-time show… However, we have not at this point extended a formal offer to Adele or anyone else.” Adele reportedly turned down the gig in 2017. Back in 2016, Adele told a crowd, “First of all, I’m not doing the Super Bowl… I mean, that show is not about music. I can’t dance or anything like that. They were very kind, they did ask me, but I did say no.” Roc Nation and NFL will decide who performs next year and will likely announce the performer in September. Besides Adele, other artists that could potentially perform include Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.

Authorities arrested an armed man Saturday after he was accused of posing as law enforcement while entering the NFL stadium where Charlie Kirk’s funeral will be held. According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesperson, Joshua Runkles, 42, was charged with felony impersonation of a law enforcement officer and misdemeanor carrying a weapon into a prohibited place. According to a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) spokesperson, Runkles was “doing advance security for a known guest planning to attend the memorial service.” He possessed multiple guns, knives, and fake law enforcement badges while he visited the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. “We do not believe this person was attempting anything nefarious, however the advance was not done in proper coordination with the TPUSA security team or US Secret Service,” said Andrew Kolvet, a TPUSA spokesperson, on X. “Also important to note that this was before the site had been fully sealed and locked down. Every precaution is being taken to ensure everyone’s safety.” Runkles was booked into Maricopa County Jail before he was released on bond. Kirk’s memorial service expects to have about 100,000 people in attendance. High-profile figures such as President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance are also scheduled to attend the memorial.
Television broadcasting company Sinclair did not run a planned Charlie Kirk news segment on Friday night. The special, meant to memorialize the conservative activist who was murdered on Sept. 10, was scheduled to air during Jimmy Kimmel’s usual time slot on ABC. Instead, six minutes before the program was set to air, Sinclair released a statement saying that the Kirk special would only be available on YouTube. “Tonight, Sinclair will continue to air ABC network programming as scheduled in the late-night time period,” the company stated. “The Charlie Kirk special will instead be available on The National News Desk’s YouTube channel, ensuring viewers can continue to enjoy ABC programming while also providing full access to the special online.” The ABC programming that replaced both Jimmy Kimmel Live! and the special was a re-run of Celebrity Family Feud. Sinclair and Nexstar, another major broadcasting group, both pulled Kimmel’s show from air on Wednesday, hours before ABC suspended the late night host indefinitely, citing comments Kimmel made about Kirk’s death on his Monday night broadcast. “Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” Sinclair vice chairman Jason Smith, following the decision. It is unclear when or if Kimmel will return to air.
