“Who woulda thought: you on a show like this,” Sistine Stallone, one of Sylvester‘s three daughters, asks the Rocky star in a preview to their family reality show, The Family Stallone.

Indeed, the trailer opens introducing Sly as “one of the world’s biggest stars” and invites viewers “to see him as he’s never been seen before: As. A. Family man.” To that end, the big-screen tough guy is seen brushing his cat. “Really?” he asks.

The preview shows the show pivoting between Hollywoodland and family life — at one point, Oscar winner Al Pacino is seen hanging with Sly, along with Stallone’s Rocky IV nemesis Dolph Lundgren, with Pacino busting his friend’s chops, saying of the reality series’ cameras, “I feel as if I’ve just jumped into ‘Stallone World!'”

The show also stars Stallone’s wife, Jennifer Flavin Stallone, and his other daughters, Sophia and Scarlet, as they navigate life with their famous family name. “I know we’re insane. I know we’re crazy, but we love each other so much,” Flavin Stallone gushes.

Sistine jokes of her dad, “It’s quite ironic that this is the last guy who wanted to do a reality show, but when he sees a camera, he’s like, ‘Am I in frame?'”

“That’s the truth,” Sly smiles.

The show starts streaming May 17 exclusively on Paramount+.

Jennifer Lopez shows off her guns — and brandishes not a few firearms, as well — in the action-packed trailer to her forthcoming Netflix action movie The Mother.

The sneak peek starts with Lopez’s character, a former assassin just called Mother, shortly after she gives birth. Edie Falco‘s FBI agent character informs her she has to give up her daughter and go on the run, lest the bad guys whose operation Mother disrupted find them both.

Eventually, the baddies catch up with the now tween girl (Lucy Paez), forcing J Lo’s character out of hiding to hunt her and her abductors down.

“They’re using her to get to me,” she tells an ally, played by Omari Hardwick.

The girl doesn’t know her mom, but quickly learns she needs to trust her. “I wanna go home,” she implores. “Not until you know how to survive,” Lopez tells her daughter, as she trains her to do just that.

She later says in the trailer, “I’m a killer. But I’m also a mother, and I will die protecting her.”

The movie drops on Netflix on May 12.

Four months after his near-fatal snowplow accident, Jeremy Renner made a hilarious appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday night.

After being introduced as “the Avenger who beat Thanos, Loki and a 14,000-pound snowplow, the indestructible” Jeremy Renner took the stage, walking with a cane, but in amazing spirits.

“Was this a publicity stunt?” Kimmel asked, admitting he “can’t believe” the twice-nominated actor was even alive, let alone looking so well.

It was “a very, very bad way to start the year,” Renner said, noting he broke “35 or so” bones in the incident.

“It’s a giant metal cookie roller” Renner said of the vehicle that he got pulled under while trying to save his nephew from it, adding, “It just missed every vertebrae, did not hit any organs, my brain did not swell, nothing like that.”

“My eye did pop out. That’s weird,” he added with a laugh. “But I got pretty lucky that none of the organs got messed up.”

As for his collapsed lung, the 52-year-old joked, “That’s OK, I got another one.”

The actor, there to promote his passion project Rennervations, which is about to premiere on Disney+, also talked about the support he got from his family and friends. He said it was his friends’ reactions, like his Avengers co-star Chris Evans, that let him know he was in such bad shape. “Terrible actors, they couldn’t hide the fact that I looked awful,” he joked.

Renner also shared that another Avenger, Paul Rudd, visited him in the hospital several times. The Hawkeye star even shared the Ant-Man lead’s fake Cameo call to “Jerry” to cheer him up after his “fight with a snowblower or something.”

NBC announced on Monday that it has renewed all six of its Dick Wolf-produced scripted series — including Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime — for the 2023-24 season.

“I’m pleased to continue my four-decade relationship with Universal Television and NBC,” Wolf said in a statement. “All six shows being picked up again is the ultimate accolade to our incredible casts, producers and writers. I’d also like to thank our loyal fans who have kept our NBC shows on the air for what will be a cumulative 84 seasons.”

Law & Order: SVU, starring and executive produced by Mariska Hargitay, will return for its record-breaking 25th season, while the original Law & Order — which returned in 2021 after 11 years — will enter its 23rd season. Law & Order: Organized Crime, led by Chris Meloni, is back for its fourth season. SVU and Organized Crime both rank among the top 10 dramas with adults 18-49.

All three Chicago shows rank among the top 10 shows on broadcast TV this season — excluding sports — in both total viewers and adults 18-49, according to Nielsen’s seven-day ratings. Chicago PD is tied with Fox’s 911 as the top drama in the 18-49 demographic.

Wolf also executive produces CBS’ three FBI series — FBI, FBI: International and FBI: Most Wanter — which is in the middle of a two-year order that runs through next season.

HBO’s Emmy magnet drama Succession continues to score for the network. Its most recent third episode of the fourth and final season scored 2.5 million viewers, putting it 7% higher than its season debut record of 2.3 million viewers.

Weeks later, that first episode’s viewership has ballooned to 7 million viewers, as people catch up on streaming, according to HBO.

Sunday night’s installment, “Connor’s Wedding,” saw the shocking death of a main cast member. The intrigue — and, likely, the haunting prospect of being spoiled about it — propelled the show’s viewership to new heights.

If you don’t want to be spoiled about exactly who met their fate in the third episode, definitely don’t read the Variety article about it, in which director Mark Mylod says show creator Jesse Armstrong had the major death planned since season 3.
