By 1973, singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson had starred in a handful of feature film roles, playing outlaw Billy the Kid in Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, which also co-starred Bob Dylan. That same year, just after her 14th birthday, Marie Osmond, of the performing Osmond clan, launched her recording career, becoming the youngest female act to hit Number One on the country chart with her song “Paper Roses.”

Although their career (and, indeed, personal) trajectories couldn’t be more divergent, the paths of Kristofferson — who died Saturday at 88 — and Osmond, along with her teen-idol brother Donny,...

The Talk hosts are preparing to say goodbye to the popular talk show and its final season with a very special song. There was no better way to start the farewell season than on a literal high note. So, how did the song go and what was the sentiment in the sendoff? Keep reading for all of the details.

The Talk Hosts Say Farewell To Season With Special Song

As The Talk enters its fifteenth season, it is very bittersweet. On one hand, it lasted a very long time but on the other, it is quite sad to have to say goodbye. They have a great team of hosts who have a lot of fun together so no one wants that to end. Sadly, they will be coming back together for one more shortened season to give the series its perfect sendoff. The show has been on since 2010, starting with original hosts Sara Gilbert,...

Eric Gardner, Chairman and CEO of Panacea Entertainment who began his career coordinating tours for Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead before pivoting to talent management for such clients as Paul Shaffer, Donny Osmond, The Sex Pistols, as well as members of The Rolling Stones, The E Street Band and The Who, died at his home in Camarillo, California, July 19 from complications of pneumonia. He was 74.

His death was announced by Janis Gardner, his wife and Panacea Entertainment co-owner.

Born Eric Winslow Gardner on November 20, 1949, Garner’s long and notable career as a talent manager, film, television, and Las Vegas residency show producer began in 1970 when he started coordinating tours for the bands Jefferson Airplane, Kiss, and the Grateful Dead. By 1973 his company Panacea Entertainment Corp. was coordinating tours for major bands in 23 countries around the world.

CBS has canceled The Talk. The daytime talk show has been on the air since 2010 and will end when the show concludes in Season 15. It has been a long run for the show, one that started out talking about motherhood but has become about much broader topics in later seasons.

Here is a look at why CBS is canceling The Talk and when the last episode will air.

CBS Cancels The Talk

CBS announced the network has canceled its daytime talk show The Talk. The show features a panel that includes Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Jerry O’Connell, Sheryl Underwood, and Natalie Morales (as the moderator). The group talks about the latest headlines and human interest stories while having an open conversation about the issues.

“The Talk” is going silent. CBS is ending the long-running daytime chat show, which will get an abbreviated final season (its 15th) this fall, before signing off for good with what it’s calling a “celebratory sendoff” in December.

Rumors of the show’s end have been swirling for months, but CBS made it official to the show’s cast and crew on Friday morning. The news comes as CBS and the NAACP are developing a new daytime soap opera under their content partnership, “The Gates,” a partnership with P&g Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble. “The Gates,” which “follows the lives of a wealthy Black family in a posh, gated community,” is seen as a potential replacement for “The Talk.”

The Talk is coming to an end: CBS revealed Friday that its daytime talk show has been picked up for a 15th and final season and will wrap its run in December.

“The Talk broke new ground when it launched 14 years ago by returning daytime talk to CBS with a refreshing and award-winning format,” according to a joint statement from Amy Reisenbach, President, CBS Entertainment, and David Stapf, President, CBS Studios. “Throughout the years, it has been a key program on CBS’ top rated daytime lineup as it brought timely, important and entertaining topics and discussions into living rooms around the globe.”

“It goes without saying that hosting and producing a year-round talk show is no easy task, and we express our sincere gratitude to our amazing hosts Akbar Gbajabiamila, Amanda Kloots, Natalie Morales, Jerry O’Connell and Sheryl Underwood, our Executive Producer/Showrunner Rob Crabbe and the hardworking producing team and crew,...

Marie Osmond stopped by The Drew Barrymore Show on Wednesday, March 20, and opened up about her history of weight loss and how her children inspired her health journey in the 2000s. “I was in a situation that I had to get out,” the iconic singer shared, referring to her weight gain in the mid-2000s. “I had put 50 lbs on. That’s a lot of weight on me. I’m only 5’5. I’m very petite.” “God had to make me that way to make Donny look macho,” she quipped, poking fun at her brother and long-time musical partner. Getting serious, Osmond said, “Women don’t live long in our family. And so my son came to me, on behalf of all my children, and said, ‘Mom, you’re not gonna live long. You’ve gotta lose weight. It has nothing to do with what you look like. It has to...

Why did George Lucas allow the Star Wars Holiday Special to take place? A Disturbance in the Force does a deep dive into the 1978 special watched by millions and then locked away in a vault, never to be screened again.

“After almost 45 years of being the butt of jokes, we had to unlock all the secrets behind the Holiday Special. Its influence on pop culture has only increased over the last two decades and, also, add the fact that it is a part of the Star Wars filmography – and a hidden one at that – only adds to its mystique. Now is finally the time after all these years to get answers about how the Holiday Special happened,” explained co-directors and producers Jeremy Coon and Steve Kozak.

When John Farrar turned up to a movie set at dawn clutching a demo of his hastily written “emergency song”, he didn’t have high hopes. The call had only come in the previous day, crying out for a last-minute number to plug a hole in the musical score for when the greaser with heart gets the good girl turned bad. Farrar hadn’t exactly been inspired in scratching it together – “desperate is probably the word”, he says.

The original "Grease" stage musical first debuted at the Kingston Mines night club in Chicago in 1971. The book was by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey, who also wrote the music and lyrics with John Farrar. Set in the 1950s, "Grease" was a winking, somewhat bawdy anti-nostalgia piece about high school greasers and car nuts falling in love after a significant summer vacation. It banked on the images of squeaky-clean 1950s teeny-bopper movies, but inserted sexuality, a teen pregnancy, gang violence, and themes of class. The main characters were Danny the greaser and Sandy the square. They had a romantic fling in the summer, but may be too embarrassed to date one another during the school year. Their relationship is reconciled when Sandy adopts the clothes and mannerisms of the greasers. "Grease" moved to Broadway in 1972 and played all the way through 1980, making it the longest-running Broadway show at the time.

8/7c Black Girl Missing (Lifetime)

Where do you turn when the police and media are no help?

Lifetime opts to explore the other side of Missing White Woman Syndrome by showcasing the disparity in how a missing young girl of color slips through the cracks, prompting her mother to turn to internet sleuths, amateur detectives, and the community to find her daughter when the media and law enforcement are too busy directing all of their attention to a "pretty blond girl" of the same age.

Garcelle Beauvais shines in this ripped-from-the-headlines film inspired by far too many stories.

Marie Osmond is reflecting on how an emotionally traumatic experience as a teenager led to a painful struggle with self-esteem and body dysmorphia.

Speaking with Page Six, Marie, 63, recalled how she was berated and insulted by a TV producer while filming her variety show, “Donny & Marie”, in which she starred alongside her brother from 1976 to 1979.

“It was on that lot that I was taken out to the back by some head of the studio — and I’m like 5′ 5″ and about 103 pounds — and he basically said, ‘You’re an embarrassment to your family. You’re fat,'” Marie recalled.

She said that the was told that that producer screamed at her and told her that “250 people were going to lose their jobs because you can’t keep food out of your fat face.” Marie said she was subsequently spurred on to undergoing a dangerous diet regimen.

This led to her...

Marie Osmond is recalling the time that a Donny & Marie producer body-shamed her. The star opened up about the bad experience she had with a producer on the variety show she hosted with her brother Donny between 1976 and 1979.

“It was on that lot that I was taken out to the back by some head of the studio — and I’m like 5′ 5″ and about 103 pounds — and he basically said, ‘You’re an embarrassment to your family. You’re fat,'” Osmond told Page Six.

Osmond was a teenager when this went down in the 1970s and alleged that the producer told her that “250 people were going to lose their jobs because you can’t keep food out of your fat face.”

Following the comments, Osmond went on a diet and “got down to like 92 pounds,” putting her health at risk.

Osmond continued, “I was in the dressing room, bending over putting on my pantyhose,...

Marie Osmond was barely a teenager when a producer for Donny and Marie berated her for being “fat,” the ’70s icon is now sharing. In a recent interview with Page Six, the singer, actress, and entrepreneur claims that, when she was 15 years old, a producer for the variety show Osmond starred in with her brother Donny Osmond, allegedly took her aside and told her that she was “an embarrassment to her family” because “she was fat.” “It was on that lot that I was taken out to the back by some head of the studio — and I’m like 5′ 5″ and about 103 pounds — and he basically said, ‘You’re an embarrassment to your family. You’re fat.’” Osmond went on to say that the same producer told her “250 people were going to lose their jobs because you can’t keep food out of your fat face.” These sort of comments resulted...

Most documentaries about pioneering musicians are celebrations that exhibit the performer’s greatness right off the bat through electric concert footage and testimonials. Lisa Cortés’ “Little Richard: I Am Everything” does that, of course, with Little Richard ripping it up onstage and on screen, and Mick Jagger, Tom Jones, and John Waters testifying to his power. “He’s everything,” says Mick, in the first of a few nods to the film’s title.

But “Little Richard: I Am Everything” does something else: It gets complicated right off the bat. As part of the opening sequence, we see footage in which latter-day Little Richard tells David Letterman that he came out as gay early in his life, “but God made me know that he made Adam to be with Eve, not Steve.”

That’s the first hint that there’s a thorny side to this rock ‘n’ roll pioneer,...

Media baron Rupert Murdoch is in a relationship with Ann-Lesley Smith, 25 years his junior, less than six months after his “brutal” split from Jerry Hall, it has emerged.

The 91-year-old was pictured holidaying on a beach in Barbados with Smith, 66. The pair were also photographed holding hands at an airport.

They were reportedly being hosted in Barbados by British billionaire and Jcb chairman Anthony Bamford, the Daily Mail reports.

Smith was previously married to country-western musician and business entrepreneur Chester Smith, with whom she recorded an album in 2005, titled Captured by Love. He died in 2008, aged 78.

The Independent understands that Smith and Murdoch met in November before making their debut as a couple at Christmas, when she attended a dinner at Murdoch’s home in Mayfair.

There's random, and then there is stumbling across Richard Pryor bartending in the "Star Wars" universe. If you spend enough time searching "Star Wars" on YouTube, that's exactly what you'll uncover. Unfortunately, we only get a brief glimpse of the colorful Mos Eisley Cantina in "Star Wars: A New Hope," because once Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi affirm that "you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy," they meet up with Han Solo and get down to business in a dark corner of the tavern.

However, we have Richard Pryor to thank for imagining what it might be like if we had stuck around a while at the Mos Eisley Cantina. A long-forgotten skit on the short-lived NBC variety show dubbed "The Richard Pryor Show" hilariously imagines life as an employee at the "Star Wars Bar."

Famous pornographic actor Harry Reems nearly starred in Grease, alongside John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John.

The late porn star – real name Herbert Streicher and best known for his role in the 1972 adult film Deep Throat – was initially hired for the role of Coach Calhoun, who aids Travolta’s Danny Zuko in his quest to join a sports team to impress Sandy (Newton-John).

“Allan [Carr, the producer] wanted to have the porn star Harry Reems play that part,” director Randal Kleiser revealed on a recent episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s It Happened in Hollywood podcast.

“He actually hired him, and then the studio said, ‘No, no, no. You can’t do that.’ And so they had to fire him,” he added.

After pressure from the studio forced them to drop Reems, comedian Sid Caesar ended up assuming the role as the fan-favourite Rydell High faculty member.

Kleiser further explained that Reems was “devastated...

How adorable were Sawyer and Landon?

Of all the holiday love stories, the main characters of A Fiance for Christmas put the Q(t) in quirky with their messy love story where a misunderstanding spiraled out of control.

And Marie Osmond co-starring is the ultimate treat.

Sawyer Ames is the perkiest, quirkiest, most awkward leading lady in one of the holiday films thus far. It's only fitting that the circumstances surrounding how she found love would fall in line with that.

In a sense, she was a classic modern woman lead who lived for her job and was a workaholic. And hey, if you spend the majority of your time delivering babies, there's plenty to adore.

Hollywood is taking to Twitter to pay their respects to beloved sitcom actor Gavin MacLeod, who passed away early Saturday morning at the age of 90.

MacLeod’s roles as Murray Slaughter on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and Captain Merrill Stubing on “The Love Boat” rendered him a mainstay of 1970s and ’80s television, as well as a source of both comedy and comfort for countless viewers.

See how some of MacLeod’s costars, friends and fans are honoring the late TV legend.

Ed Asner, who starred opposite MacLeod on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” described the actor as “my brother, my partner in crime (and food) and my comic conspirator.” He also assured MacLeod that he’d see him and the rest of “the gang” in a bit. Asner and Betty White are the classic sitcom’s only living cast members.

Actor Michael McKean replied to Asner’s tweet with his own condolences.

“My heart is broken. Gavin was my brother, my partner in crime (and food) and my comic conspirator,” wrote Asner. ” I will see you in a bit Gavin. Tell the gang I will see them in a bit. Betty! It’s just you and me now.”

Asner was referring, toward the end of his message, to screen legend Betty White. The five-time Emmy winner is now the only other living alum...

And the Daytime Emmys go to … CBS. The network and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said today that they have inked a two-year deal for CBS to air the awards show.

The 2021 Daytime Emmys is produced by NATAS and Associated Television International, which produced the ceremony from 2009-11 and again last year. Adam Sharp and Steve Ulrich are executive producers for NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer and director for Ati.
