A biopic about the late Steve Marriott and his band Small Faces is in the works, according to Deadline.
The film, All or Nothing, will be inspired by the West End musical of the same name, written by actress and writer Carol Harrison. It is based on her friendship with the singer, who she met when she was 8 years old.
According to the film’s description, Marriott’s story is “seen through the eyes of a young female fan,” noting, “through their emotional connection, we uncover the complexities and contradictions that burn beneath the showman’s mask, as Steve struggles to navigate life in the spotlight, disguising his raw private turmoil and vulnerability with arrogance and caustic humor.”
Marriott formed Small Faces in 1965 with bassist Ronnie Lane, drummer Kenney Jones and keyboardist Jimmy Winston. Marriott left the group in 1969 to form Humble Pie. The band went on without him, recruiting Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, and renaming themselves Faces. Marriott, who was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Small Faces, died in 1991 at the age of 44.
The film, due to start production in the fall, will feature Small Faces’ music. Deadline notes that the estates of Marriott and Lane have both given their blessings to the film.
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick appears for a hearing of the House Ethics Committee on Capitol Hill, on March 26, 2026, in Washington, D.C. (Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)
(WASHINGTON) — A special panel of the bipartisan House Ethics Committee determined on Friday that Florida Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was guilty of 25 ethics violations, including commingling of campaign and personal funds.
The determination came after the panel held a rare public hearing on Thursday to consider whether Cherfilus-McCormick violated House rules amid sweeping allegations of fraud against her — and a four-count federal indictment.
The panel said in a statement that deliberations in the case “lasted until well past midnight” and that they found “clear and convincing evidence” that the congresswoman was guilty of all but two of the 27 counts.
“We had a good, robust discussion on all counts, voted on all counts, and we were able to find agreement on 25 of the 27 counts,” Ethics Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., told ABC News on Friday morning.
The ethics violations include acceptance of improper campaign contributions, false statements, commingling of campaign and personal funds and reporting errors on financial disclosures.
The full House Ethics Committee will hold a hearing after the April congressional recess to “determine what, if any, sanction would be appropriate for the Committee to recommend.” The sanction recommendations could include censure or expulsion, which would require a two-thirds majority vote.
“There will be a sanctions hearing,” Guest said. “That date has not been set, but there will be a sanctions hearing sometime, we hope shortly after we return back from the Easter recess.”
Separately, Cherfilus-McCormick was indicted in November by a federal grand jury on charges of stealing $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds, which she is accused of laundering to support her 2021 congressional campaign.
The indictment alleges Cherfilus-McCormick, 46, and her brother Edwin Cherfilus, 51, received a $5 million overpayment in FEMA funds directed to their family health care company in connection with a contract for COVID-19 vaccination staffing in 2021.
Cherfilus-McCormick has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the federal criminal charges against her.
During Thursday’s hourslong hearing, lawmakers on the panel questioned Cherfilus-McCormick’s counsel and the committee’s investigative staff about the allegations against the congresswoman.
Cherfilus-McCormick did not address the committee throughout the proceedings, but she took notes and occasionally talked to her attorney.
Her attorney, William Barzee, demanded that his client receive a full hearing — allowing him to call in witnesses.
Guest pushed back on this request, saying Cherfilus-McCormick has refused to cooperate with the panel’s ongoing investigation.
Barzee acknowledged that the congresswoman “made a lot of mistakes” on financial forms.
In a statement to ABC News ahead of Thursday’s hearing, the congresswoman said: “I welcome the opportunity to set the record straight and challenge these inaccuracies, when I am legally able to do so. Make no mistake: I am innocent and I am a fighter. My district is made up of fighters. I will continue to fight for the people I was elected to serve.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson said that while he believes in “due process,” the congresswoman “has egregiously violated the law.”
“This is a very serious matter. I think even many Democrats, even members of her own party, have publicly said that the evidence is so stark … but we have to process this internally and see how this goes,” Johnson said Thursday.
The adjudicatory subcommittee that held the hearing is made up of an equal number of three Republicans and three Democrats will hear Cherfilus-McCormick’s case Thursday.
In addition to Guest, the chairman, the subcommittee is made up Democratic Rep. Mark DeSaulnier as ranking member. Democratic Reps. Sylvia Garcia, Glenn Ivey and Suhas Subramanyam and Republican Reps. Ashley Hinson, Brad Knott and Nathaniel Moran also serve on the subcommittee.
“I am deeply disappointed the Committee chose to move forward with this trial while denying my legal team reasonable time to prepare. That raises serious concerns about due process and the fundamental rights every American is entitled to under our Constitution,” the congresswoman said in a statement to ABC News.
Speaker Johnson previously deferred to the members of the House to determine whether the congresswoman should be expelled from the House. The last member to be expelled was former New York GOP Rep. George Santos over using campaign dollars for his personal enrichment in 2023 — only the sixth representative ever ousted.
“Expulsion, obviously, is effectively the political death penalty. There are occasions that meet that standard, but it’s a decision of the body to determine that,” Johnson said.
“You look at all the factors and you — you figure that out. We’ll be doing that here in this case,” Johnson said. “It seems that this member of Congress has egregiously violated the law and exploited taxpayers and all the rest, and that, that would be, it would be a harsh penalty necessary for that.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has promised Democrats won’t help Republicans kick her out of Congress, regardless of the ethics inquiry.
“Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick is entitled to the presumption of innocence, like every other American,” Jeffries told reporters on Feb. 2. “I’m a hard no as it relates to the effort to expel her, and it’s going to fail.”
The last public ethics trial occurred in 2010 when New York Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel came before the panel. Rangel was later censured over failing to report assets on his financial disclosure forms, improperly obtaining four rent-controlled apartments in New York, and failing to disclose financial arrangements for a villa in the Dominican Republic.
Rangel maintained that he never knowingly broke any laws. “I truly believe I have not been treated fairly,” Rangel told the Ethics Committee before storming out of his hearing.

(WASHINGTON) — House Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday flatly rejected the Senate’s bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection.
Johnson said House Republicans will instead plow ahead with an alternative proposal: a short-term bill to fund the entire department for 60 days, until May 22.
“This gambit that was done last night is a joke,” Johnson told reporters in a news conference.
Johnson said the House would vote on the stop-gap proposal “as soon as possible.” Lawmakers were notified that votes are expected on Friday night, though the exact timing remains unclear.
If the House succeeds, the measure will head back to the Senate, where Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has vowed that it is “dead on arrival.”
All this means the partial government shutdown, now in its 42nd day, is likely to continue.
Amid the gridlock on Capitol Hill, President Donald Trump on Friday signed a presidential memorandum directing Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to pay TSA employees. DHS said that workers will start seeing paychecks on Monday.
President Trump, in a phone interview with Fox News on Friday afternoon, said the Senate deal on DHS “wasn’t good” and “wasn’t appropriate.”
The Senate, at 2 a.m. on Friday morning, approved a funding bill that included TSA, Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The package did not include money for ICE or parts of CBP, though those agencies continue to receive funds due to an influx of cash provided in the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill passed by Congress last summer.
Also absent from the Senate bill are any of the reforms to ICE’s operating procedures that Democrats have been repeatedly demanding following the fatal shootings of two American citizens in Minneapolis by federal agents earlier this year.
Still, Schumer said he was proud of Democrats who “held the line” on their objection to funding ICE and CBP without reforms.
“Democrats held firm in our position that Donald Trump’s rogue and deadly militia should not get more funding without serious reforms and we will continue to fight for those reforms,” he said.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune lambasted Democrats on the floor for what he framed as their refusal to negotiate in good faith. He said Democrats could have secured some of their desired reforms if they hadn’t complicated negotiations.
“We could be standing here right now passing a funding bill with a list of reforms if the Democrats had made the smallest effort to actually reach an agreement. But they didn’t, because it’s now clear to everyone, Democrats didn’t actually want a solution, they wanted an issue, politics over policy, self-interest over reform, pandering to their base over actually solving a problem,” Thune said.
Senate Republicans vowed to work on a package later this year to approve even more funding for ICE and CBP, saying they aim to do it using reconciliation — a budget tool that, if successful, would allow them to sidestep Democratic objection and pass the bill without any Democratic support.
Republicans are already warning that that bill will be a much harsher and Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., vowed it would “supercharge deportations.”

Cover art for Fetty Wap’s ‘Zavier’ (300 Entertainment)
Fetty Wap has released a new album,Zavier, introducing fans to the name his family calls him and the real person behind the moniker.
The project features G. Herbo, Wiz Khalifa, Max B, Monty, Honey Bxby, Tink and more. It’s led by the single “White Roses,” which includes background vocals from his sisters Divinity and Ymanie; the video is now available to stream on YouTube.
“I want fans to hear the evolution,” Fetty says in a statement. “It’s still Fetty, but it’s a version that’s been through life and came back stronger.”
“I came up with many songs while incarcerated, especially during the six months I spent in solitary confinement,” he continues. “Even in difficult environments, creativity never leaves you; music was still a way for me to express myself. I’ve had time to reflect, grow, and really think about the kind of artist and man I want to be moving forward. The music still has the energy people know me for, but there’s also more honesty and perspective in it now.”
Zavier, now available on streaming services, marks Fetty’s first album since being released from prison on charges of conspiracy to distribute drugs. He’s set to celebrate with a series of “Welcome Home” shows in April, with stops in Montclair, New Jersey; Hartford, Connecticut; Albany, New York; and Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. More shows will be announced at a later date.
If you’re a celebrity who’s always complaining about being harassed by your fans, Lionel Richie doesn’t want to hear about it.
Appearing on his son-in-law Joel Madden’s podcast, Artist Friendly, the American Idol judge explained that anyone who wants to be in showbiz better be sure they’re ready for everything that might come with it.
“I tell people when they get into the business there’s one thing you didn’t calculate. I hope you like people,” he said. “If you don’t like people, here’s how it’s going to sound. You spend the first half of your career going, ‘Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me.’ And then you finally get famous. ‘Don’t look at me. Don’t look at me. Don’t look at me.'”
“And I’m going, ‘Okay, now, the universe gave you what you were asking for,'” Lionel continued. “Now, what is that about people you don’t like? Oh, you want to be famous and rich without the people?…It doesn’t work like that. You have to be able to engage.”
Lionel also said that he never wants anyone to come away from an encounter with him with a negative feeling.
“Sometimes you meet the person you idolize the most and you’re sorry you met them,” he explained. “I made a promise to myself. I’m never going to be that.”
He went on to say that fans are “scared to death of you. They want to say something to you. And you can see it on their face. They want to say something. And for me to ignore them would be the worst.”

(JUPITER ISLAND, Fla.) –Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Florida, on Friday afternoon, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said.
His condition was not immediately clear.
ABC News has reached out to Woods’ reps for comment.
The SUV he was driving, a 2021 Genesis GV80, was found several feet away from the center divider, in an area that had a “high-frequency” of accidents, officials said at the time.
Authorities said there was no “evidence of impairment” in that crash, adding that the wreck was “purely an accident.”
Following the accident, Woods told Golf Digest in an interview that he began a rehabilitation process that included three months in a hospital-type bed in his home.
In 2017, Woods was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Jupiter, Florida. An incident report at the time said that he was asleep and “had to be woken up.” Woods was later released on his own recognizance.
Woods shared a statement after the incident apologizing to his family, friends and fans.

Eric Bellinger is out with “Cry in Front of You.” While announcing the release, he wrote, “As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to fully embrace my emotions. There’s nothing more freeing than removing that protective barrier and feeling safe enough to allow yourself to feel the tears of love, joy or even pain. It’s all connected and necessary to truly experience the balance of peace & bliss that this life has to offer.”
The LOX returns with “Never Change,” a record that “explores the unwavering principles of loyalty and the evolution of the streets,” as per a release. Jaheim and Trent Shelton are on the track.
Elmiene’s debut album includes sounds for someone. It’s shaped by his relationship with his late father. “Making this album was painful, I felt lonely sometimes, I felt loved sometimes.

Britney Spears is back online.
After being arrested March 4 for suspected DUI, Britney stopped posting on Instagram. But on Friday, she returned to her feed, sharing a series of video snippets showing her and her son Jayden James Federline posing for mirror selfies.
In one snippet, Jayden, wearing a white fedora, tells his mom, “I wish I could be like Michael.” It’s possible he’s referring to someone who his mom performed with in the past: Michael Jackson, who often wore a fedora onstage.
Britney wrote in the caption, “Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing !!! Stay kind !!!”
Following her arrest, a rep for Britney told ABC News that the singer “hopefully … can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time,” adding, “Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being.”
Britney is slated to appear in Ventura County Superior Court on May 4, according to court records.
In other Britney legal news, ABC News has confirmed that her lawyer has filed a cease-and-desist letter against her former security guard Thomas Bunbury. Britney is accusing him of hacking her electronic and iCloud account after he was fired last year. She’s insisting that he delete any copies of material he’s made and inform her if and/or to whom he’s sent the material.
Much like 2025’s “Call It Home (A Song for North Dakota),” Tigirlily Gold’s new track, “Country & Midwestern,” shines the spotlight on the duo’s home state.
“We grew up in North Dakota and when we moved to Nashville about nine years ago, people would always say ‘Wow, I’ve never met anybody from North Dakota. What’s it like growing up in the Midwest?’ So, we decided we should let everybody know!” Kendra Olson and Krista Slaubaugh say in a news release.
“It’s just as country as living in the south, just a different kind of country,” they continue. “We have a hotdish instead of a casserole, and we eat walleye instead of catfish. So, we hope you love this Midwest anthem!”
Kendra and Krista were named official ambassadors for North Dakota in 2025.
“Country & Midwestern” is the pair’s first new music since “Mess Out of Me” came out in October.
Next up, Tigirlily Gold is set to join Carly Pearce on her European tour in May.
