Paramount Pictures

The final trailer has dropped for jackass forever, and once again, Johnny Knoxville and his black-and-blue buddies return for, as Paramount Pictures and MTV Entertainment Studios puts it, a celebration of “the joy of being back together with your best friends and a perfectly executed shot to the [crotch].”

The original Jackass crew, which also features Steve-OChris PontiusWee ManDave EnglandDanger Ehren and Sean “Poopies” McInerney, “return for another round of hilarious, wildly absurd, and often dangerous displays of comedy with a little help from some exciting new cast.”

In the trailer, a narrator explains, “The world waited for what felt like forever,” hinting at the movie’s pandemic-related production pauses. “Then they waited longer…But this February, the wait is over.”

The trailer shows the gang tangling with a turbo-charged treadmill, a human cannonball gag, a raging bull, striking snakes, and senses of humor that can even turn COVID-protocol porta-potties into explosive pranks. The movie debuts in theaters on February 4.

Following a flood of tributes from his famous friends over the weekend, the late Bob Saget‘s Full House co-stars Jodie Sweetin and Lori Loughlin, weighed in Monday.

The star was found dead Sunday in his Orlando, Florida hotel room. He was 65.

Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky on both the show and its spin-off, Fuller House, noted in a statement, “Words cannot begin to express how devastated I am. Bob was more than my friend, he was my family. I will miss his kind heart and quick wit.” 

She added, “Thank you for a lifetime of wonderful memories and laughter. I love you Bobby.”

Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, the daughter of Saget’s patriarch, Danny, posted a lengthy tribute to Instagram about her TV dad.

“There aren’t enough words to express what I’m feeling today,” she began, “Nor are they big enough to capture even a slice of who he was. One thing I do know, is that we never missed a chance to tell each other, ‘I love you.’ Every time we talked, there were at least 3 or 4 exchanged at the end of a conversation, whether it was text, phone call or in person. And he usually had to have the last word, ‘I love you more…’

Sweetin also recalled, “The hundreds of inside jokes we all had, the kind that only a family knows and that nobody else will ever understand or think is funny,” and, “He and Dave [Coulier] dancing together at my 13th Birthday party…”

Sweetin called Saget “a wonderful human being,” and a “genuinely kind spirit who made it through so much in his life, and was most happy when he was helping others.”

She added, “I would always say ‘you’re the best TV dad ever’. And he was.”

Grey’s Anatomy has been renewed for season 19.

ABC announced Monday that the series, already the longest-running medical drama in primetime television history, would return for a landmark 19th season.

Grey’s Anatomy has a global impact that can’t be overstated,” says executive producer and showrunner Krista Vernoff, who is set to return. “Grey’s touches, and sometimes changes, hearts and minds worldwide through the depth of connection people feel with these characters. I’m excited to work with our extraordinary writers to dream up where we go from here, and I’m always grateful to our partners at Disney and ABC for letting us tell bold stories with real impact.”

Shonda Rhimes, who created the series, says, “I couldn’t be more excited that we get to keep telling the stories of Meredith, Bailey, Richard and all of the other doctors at Grey Sloan Memorial for another season.”

Rhimes continues, “This is a true testament to Krista Vernoff, the cast, the crew and all the writers who keep the audience on the edge of their seat week after week. And it would not be possible without the generations of incredible fans who have supported Grey’s Anatomy for so many years.”

According to a press release from ABC, season 19 will “explore the ever-expanding world of modern medicine through the eyes of beloved returning and new characters.”

Grey’s Anatomy premiered in 2005. The only three original cast members still on the show are Ellen Pompeo, who plays lead Meredith Grey; Chandra Wilson, who portrays Miranda Bailey; and James Pickens Jr., who plays Richard Webber.

Andrew Garfield: lying about ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ role was “weirdly enjoyable”

(SPOILERS FOR SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME) Andrew Garfield admits keeping his Spider Man: No Way Home role a secret wasn’t that hard — in fact, he found it “weirdly enjoyable.”

After months of denials that he was involved, Garfield in fact does appear in the multiverse-shattering blockbuster, alongside fellow Spider-Man alums TobeyMaguire and current web-slinger Tom Holland.

“It was rather stressful but also weirdly enjoyable,” Garfield tells TheWrap of his, er, web of deceit.

“There were moments where I was like, ‘God, I hate lying.’ I don’t like to lie and I’m not a good liar, but I kept framing it as a game. And I kept imagining myself purely as a fan of that character, which is not hard to do.”

The 38-year-old actor, and lifelong Spider-Man fan adds, “I placed myself in that position of, Well, what would I want to know? Would I want to be toyed with? Would I want to be lied to? Would I want to be kept on my toes guessing? Would I want to discover it when I went to the theater? Would I want to be guessing, guessing, guessing?”

The answer to those questions, Garfield said, was clear. “I would want the actor to do an incredibly good job at convincing me he wasn’t in it. And then I would want to lose my mind in the theater when my instinct was proven right,” he continues. “That’s what I would want.”

In fact, Garfield told Entertainment Tonight that he and fellow Spider-Man Maguire sneaked into a theater on opening night just to watch those fans lose their minds. “[N]o one knew we were there,” he enthused. “It was just a really beautiful thing to share together.”

He said the three web-heads shared a “brotherhood,” and getting the opportunity to revisit the character was a thrill.

“First and foremost, I am a fan, so when [producers] Amy Pascal and Kevin Feige and [director] John Watts asked to have a word with me and talk to me about an idea, and they pitched it, it was like I was the fans in the audience, watching it onscreen for the first time with like, the three Spider-Men across universes sharing a frame together,” Garfield recalled.

“And like, your head, your little head, it just explodes. So, that’s the main thing in me that I feel about it.”

Don’t expect “The Carlton”: ‘Bel-Air’ reboot promises a lot more drama than ‘Fresh Prince’

Peacock

Peacock has released the first trailer for its Will Smith-produced reboot of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and the show, titled simply Bel-Air, looks quite different from the sitcom that spawned it. In fact, it goes to some pretty dark places. 

According to the streaming platform, “…inspired by Morgan Cooper’s viral trailer that reimagined the iconic, culture-defining ‘90s sitcom, Bel-Air takes a fresh and raw approach to this world of swagger, style, and aspiration, while exploring Will’s complex journey through a current lens.”

The new series features newcomer Jabari Banks as Will. South Philadelphia, born and raised, as the original theme song describes, Will is moved by his mom to live with his wealthy aunt and uncle in the ritzy Los Angeles Bel-Air neighborhood to keep him safe from the Philly streets.

But unlike the original’s opening, this Will has more to contend with than just a couple of guys up to no good making trouble in his neighborhood. Instead, Will gets busted on a gun charge after carrying the weapon to keep him safe following a basketball court fight. 

Banks’ Will has his eyes opened by his wealthy relatives’ life, but there seems to be more beneath the surface. “I hope one day we can talk about why you’re really here,” Olly Sholotan says as his cousin, Carlton.

The series also stars Adrian Holmes as Uncle Phil, Cassandra Freeman as Will’s Aunt Vivian, and Coco Jones and Akira Akbar, respectively, as Will’s cousins Hilary and Ashley.

Bel Air debuts Super Bowl Sunday, February 13 on Peacock.

Golden Globe Awards 2022: The complete winners list

Sunday’s 79th annual Golden Globe Awards looked a lot different this year, that’s because it wasn’t televised or streamed, nor did it have a red carpet or an audience. 

The reason? In February of last year, a Los Angeles Times exposé revealed the HFPA hadn’t included a Black member in 20 years. Following the controversy — and the ouster of one of its heads over racially insensitive emails — Hollywood shunned the organization. The HFPA’s longtime broadcast partner NBC later said it wouldn’t carry the show and it’s been reported that the organization was having a hard time booking celebrity presenters. 

Despite everything, the HFPA moved forward with the 2022 Golden Globe Awards hosting a “private event” at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA with the winners announced via Twitter and press releases.

Here are the 2022 Golden Globe Award winners:
