The Challenge: All Stars 4 brought back familiar faces from MTV’s past, including a champion looking for another win and former finalists looking to win their first version of the competition show.
Former Real World: Skeletons star Nicole Zanatta was among those former finalists, who many consider a threat to win the spinoff season.
Viewers saw her appear in the final in two out of three seasons for MTV’s show, and an unfortunate injury disqualified her from continuing towards another final in her third season.
Now, she’s back for the fourth season of All Stars, where she contends with show winners Cara Maria Sorbello, Brad Fiorenza, and Rachel Robinson.
There’s also former winner Laurel Stucky, who happens to be Nicole’s ex, adding another complexity to focusing on the game.
During a recent appearance on the Zach Nichols Podcast, she shared why she has difficulty winning a final.

Never say never. Former Dukes of Hazzard stars John Schneider, Catherine Bach and Tom Wopat reunited with fellow castmates Byron Cherry, Jeff Altman and Rick Hurst at Gallatin Comic Con 2023 in Tennessee recently where talk of a possible reboot of the hit ’80s TV comedy series surfaced.
“As far as a Dukes reunion,” Bach teased in an interview with Fox News Digital, “anything is possible.”
Bach starred as Daisy Duke, Schneider as Bo Duke and Wopat as Luke Duke in the hit action-comedy-drama series that aired for seven seasons on CBS from 1979 to 1985. The series, inspired by the 1975 film Moonrunners about a bootlegger family, revolved around the adventures of cousins Bo and Luke, modern-day Robin Hoods who continually tried to outwit a corrupt sheriff and “greedy rich, city slickers.”
The series also was not without controversy due to images of the Confederate flag that had been used in the show.

If you’re looking forward to Daredevil: Born Again, one reason could be that you aren’t losing out on any royalties. Steven DeKnight, who served as showrunner for the original Daredevil series’ first season, is coming after Disney for their rebranding of the character and property, saying it’s a “scam” .
DeKnight’s take on the Daredevil reboot comes from a post on X (formerly Twitter) by a grip, who is also a member of the union IATSE. “And not only did they cancel Daredevil once crew got full raise and holiday/vacation pay…. The Disney+ reboot is back to season one IATSE contract terms. It’s a fucking scam. I wonder if @stevendeknight knows that!”
To this, Steven DeKnight responded, “He does. It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season. Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed!

It’s mainly embellishment. Former Patriot Act host and The Daily Show alum Hasan Minhaj is acknowledging that many of the stories he has told in his comedy specials are fabricated.
“Every story in my style is built around a seed of truth,” Minhaj said in a profile in The New Yorker. “My comedy Arnold Palmer is 70% emotional truth — this happened — and then 30% hyperbole, exaggeration, fiction.”
Minhaj is a two-time Peabody Award-Winning comedian best known for his breakout Netflix special Homecoming King and his critically acclaimed, political satire show Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj for Netflix which won a Peabody, an Emmy, and a Television Academy Honor.

Former That ’70s Show star Danny Masterson has been convicted for two counts of forcible rape and faces a possible sentence of 30 years to life for the two charges. There was a third rape charge that the jury could not reach a verdict on, deadlocking with a vote of 8-4 in favor of conviction. According to Variety, when the guilty verdicts were read, Masterson’s family let out an audible gasp from the audience. The actor was accused of raping three women in his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003, with the jury convicting him for the latter. They could not reach a verdict on the November 2001 incident involving a former girlfriend. His first trial ended in November 2022 with a hung jury, with most voting to acquit Masterson of all three charges. The case has also shined more light on the Church of Scientology and its teachings, of which Masterson has...

Over two decades, Bravo’s Top Chef has introduced viewers to nearly 300 food luminaries — making and breaking careers with what the culinary community has come to regard as the most prestigious (or at least the most taxing) cooking competition.
THR spent months speaking with dozens of the executives, producers, talent and chefs who’ve worked on the show over its 20-season run, and the result is a definitive oral history of the landmark reality competition. Previously untold anecdotes about that frantic first season and early days of “too much” reality drama and testimonials of its reshaping of food media — “Food Network should be paying Bravo residuals!” — and incalculable impact on American dining tell the story of how Top Chef elevated itself from mere genre TV to become an institution.

Former Empire star Jussie Smollett has filed an appeal of his 2021 conviction for faking a hate-crime attack in Chicago in early 2019.
“The renewed prosecution of Mr. Smollett violated his due process rights,” attorney Heather Widell wrote in the court document filed Thursday (read it here), “because (1) Mr. Smollett fully performed his part of a non-prosecution agreement with the state by performing community service and forfeiting his $10,000 bail bond; and (2) the state benefited from taking and keeping Mr. Smollett’s bail bond without performing its end of the bargain. Thus, the violation of due process was prejudicial and requires reversal of Mr. Smollett’s convictions and a dismissal of the charges against him.”
