The Fraternal Order of Police is learning what happens after you swing at Reacher. The muscle-bound star of the hit Amazon series, Alan Ritchson, voiced his thoughts about the state of policing during a recent interview. The law enforcement organization did not take it well.

It all started when Ritchson was asked to respond to MAGA trolls who unearthed a photo of him wearing a T-shirt that read “Arrest The Cops Who Killed Breonna Taylor.” The actor did not back down from the statement and freely spoke his mind.

“Cops get away with murder all the time, and the fact that we can’t really hold them accountable for their improprieties is disturbing to me,” Ritchson told The Hollywood Reporter. “We should completely reform the way that we do it. I mean, you shouldn’t have to spend more time getting an education as a hairstylist than as a cop who’s armed with a deadly weapon.”

The official Twitter account for the National Fraternal Order of Police fired back at Ritchson in a mocking post while calling the actor “pampered”:

While Mr. Ritchson gets his face and forehead powdered on set, our officers are out doing a job he doesn’t have the courage to do. While he gets to hear loud pops and have blanks fired at him, our officers feel the heat of the bullets as they pierce their skin. There are no take two’s or take three’s in real life Mr. Ritchson. We have people who want to kill us and we play for keeps. Just another useless Hollywood actor, virtue signaling for attention at the expense of brave police officers around this country.

Go back to your pampered life and let the heroes handle this.

Ritchson will not go back to his pampered life. In fact, he’s going to swing right back. In a post from his verified Instagram account, Ritchson took the fight directly to the FOP as he called them out for their “immature response” and bullying tactics.

“This kind of emotionally immature response is the epitome of what concerns me about law enforcement today,” Ritchson wrote. “If this is how leadership handles a peaceful disagreement, what does life look like for those unseen interactions in the street? How does this shape the character of those police officers looking to management? Do you really want individuals so easily angered, who bully like school children to have a gun and the protection of an untouchable union? I don’t.⁣”

It’s nice that Travis Kelce was able to find something he really enjoyed doing and make a career out of it, because it seems like, for him at least, school was really not his “thing.”

Nevertheless, he continued pursuing education… only to go on to play in the NFL and eventually receive an honorary degree. Does that make him eligible to host a trivia game show based on knowledge? Probably not, but it will definitely be entertaining.

Last month, it was rumored that the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs tight end (and boyfriend of one Taylor Alison Swift) would be hosting a spinoff of Are Your Smarter Than a Fifth Grader, and today it was revealed that the show will actually be a celebrity-focused version of the game show, titled Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? Well… is he?

The show will have contestants answering 6th-grade level questions with the help of some celebrities. Amazon Prime has ordered 20 episodes of the series.

“I grew up loving game shows, and I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons by hosting my very first one with Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity,” Kelce said in a statement. “The original show is a great success, so to be bringing a new format with everyone’s favorite celebrities to the screen, will definitely be entertaining. I’m just happy to be on the hosting side of the equation here and excited to see how these famous faces keep up.”

Barry Poznick, series co-creator, explained the new format. “Replacing the kids with celebrities gives us more laughs and surprises, like a roast, as contestants cheat off their famous classmates. And now, with the ultimate class clown, Travis Kelce, hosting, viewers should expect the unexpected.” Maybe Jason will show up and cause some ruckus.

After delaying the premiere of Welcome to Wrexham season 3 thanks to the ongoing English football season, the docuseries is finally ready to kick off. The show focuses on Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as they continue their joint ownership of the Wrexham AFC team.

The two actors struck up a texting relationship during the pandemic, and despite barely knowing each other, they went all-in on buying a football club together. It’s been a wild ride ever since, and you can catch up with the latest installment of the FX docuseries when season 3 arrives next month. We’ve also got info on the episode count and when they’re expected to air.

How Many Episodes Are In ‘Welcome To Wrexham’ Season 3?

Welcome to Wrexham season 3 will have eight episodes. Below are the airdates starting with the two-episode premiere:

Episodes 1 & 2: 5/2
Episode 3: 5/9
Episode 4: 5/16
Episode 5: 5/23
Episode 6: 5/30
Episode 7: 6/6
Episode 8: 6/13

Here’s how FX teased Welcome to Wrexham season 3 after announcing the delay via The Hollywood Reporter:

In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the fifth tier Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the Club into an underdog story the whole world could root for. The world took notice and change is afoot. After 15 painful seasons in the National League, the Club finally achieved promotion back into the English Football League. The stakes have never been higher.

According to the release, season 3 will also include “unprecedented access on the pitch, bringing viewers inside the locker room and alongside the players, while the action is unfolding in some of the biggest matches Wrexham AFC has ever played.”

Welcome to Wrexham season 3 premieres on May 2 on FX.

Stray Kids surprised fans today by announcing a new digital single titled “Lose My Breath.” While not a bunch is known about the track yet, we do know it’s a collaboration with Charlie Puth that fans will be sure to love when it drops on May 10.

This announcement comes just a few days after the band dropped a new song “Why?.” However, “Lose My Breath” appears to be the lead single from the band’s next project, as they changed their social media to blue — which matches the color scheme from the single’s announcement poster.

According to Soompi, there had been rumors circulating that Stray Kids would be making a return in June, although this hadn’t been confirmed by their management company, JYP Entertainment, yet.

Over the past few months, Stray Kids have continued to remain busy, between dropping a new album Rock-Star back in November and revealing that they will be headlining the BST Hyde Park Festival in London this summer.

Considering the latter, fans could likely get even more new music alongside “Lose My Breath” and “Why?” before they take the stage on July 14. More information about their festival appearance can be found here. Other than that, Stray Kids’ only other show for 2024 is for Lollapalooza.

The Taylor Sheridan machine runs so fast and furious while churning out Paramount Network and Paramount+ TV shows that it’s no surprise that things get messy at times. Is there too much drama, though? Despite reportedly butting heads with Kevin Costner, Matthew McConaughey, and Cole Hauser, Sheridan cannot be slowed down.

The same sentiment goes for Tulsa King, which has moved into second-season filming despite upheaval on the showrunner/writing front and moving most of production out of “hell”-ish (according to star Sylvester Stallone on a climate-related note) Oklahoma and into Atlanta, Georgia. Then there are the recent allegations regarding Stallone allegedly fostering a “toxic” work environment for extras, which Sly has been accused of insulting with “tub of lard” and other such unsavory sentiments.

Producer and director Craig Zisk previously denied to TMZ that Stallone acted inappropriately and maintains that any friction was down to the advertised casting range being older than the scripts meant for these roles to be portrayed. Stallone, for his part, is ignoring the accusations against him and, instead, showing off the fancy duds of Dwight “The General” Manfredi: “Ringing the Bell on location for TULSA KING part two….”

And the show must go on. Does this mean that Dwight won’t be carted back to prison? You never know. Previously, Stallone declared, “[Y]ou have no idea what’s coming,” so we’ll have to take his word for it.

Even though Dune has been made in many different forms and mediums, there is so much going on with that sandy planet that they can definitely squeeze a few dozen movies out of it. This seems to be Legendary Entertainment’s approach!

After two successful film installments, the next phase of the Duneiverse will be a show based on the novel Sisterhood of Dune by Frank Herbert’s son Brian and Kevin J. Anderson. Brian Herbert will also serve as an executive producer. Here is everything to know about the upcoming series. Get your spices ready.

Plot

Sorry, but you won’t see Timothee Chalamet in this one. Dune: Prophecy is set 10,000 years before the events of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune.

Based on Sisterhood of Dune, the novel follows the Harkonnen family, particularly two sisters, and the rise of the Bene Gesserit, a female organization in the Dune world. After the series was announced, Villeneuve expressed his own excitement. “The Bene Gesserit have always been fascinating to me. Focusing a series around that powerful order of women seemed not only relevant and inspiring but a dynamic setting for the television series.” Originally, Villeneuve was on board to direct the pilot, though he exited the series when making Dune: Part Two.

According to the official longline, the series “follows the Harkonnen Sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit.”

Cast

Emily Waston and Olivia Williams will star as Valya and Tula Harkonnen, a part of the Harkonnen family, who have a longstanding feud with the House Atreides. Jodhi May will portray Empress Natalya, who is married to Emperor Javicco, portrayed by Mark Strong. Shalom Brune-Franklin stars as Mikaela, a Freman woman who serves the Royal family. Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Faoileann Cunningham, Aoife Hinds, Travis Fimmel, Jade Anouka, and Chris Mason also star.

Release Date

Filming began in November 2022 and wrapped in December 2023 with an expected 2024 release date. While we don’t have a specific date yet, there should be news any day now.

Trailer

There is no trailer yet, but keep an eye out for some footage sometime soon.

The popular All Things Go Festival has unveiled its lineup for 2024, marking its tenth anniversary. As expected, it is full of a ton of artists not to miss — considering their selection over the past few years has made fans love it.

Laufey (with The Kennedy Center Orchestra), Bleachers, Hozier, and Reneé Rapp will be headlining across the two days on Saturday, September 28, and Sunday, September 29 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.

Other key performers this year include Janelle Monáe, Conan Gray, Chappell Roan, Remi Wolf, Ethel Cain, Julien Baker, Maren Morris, The Japanese House, Holly Humberstone, Briston Maroney, Michael Kiwanuka, Del Water Gap, Soccer Mommy, and many more.

Tickets will go on sale this Friday, April 19 at 10 a.m. ET on the official All Things Go website. Considering last year’s festival sold out nearly instantly, fans looking to go shouldn’t hesitate when it comes to buying at the set time.

“All Things Go always strives to deliver a unique, diverse lineup while elevating underrepresented voices,” they shared in a statement. “This year’s All Things Go Festival lineup, promises another year of incredible performances from established and emerging artists across a myriad of genres. The majority of artists identify as women or non-binary.”

If you missed the devilishly low price of $6.66 to watch Sydney Sweeney in Immaculate, you’re in luck.

The horror movie and surprise box office hit for Neon, which was directed by Michael Mohan and written by Andrew Lobel, is available for digital purchase and rental on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Fandango At Home starting, well, today. A Blu-Ray and DVD release will follow on June 11.

“Originally the script was vastly different,” Sweeney told the Los Angeles Times about the origin story of the brilliantly marketed Immaculate. “Once I got my hands on it and we hired Michael, we drastically revised it so that it could fit who I am today and the world today. But the through line of the story always has stayed the same. And I think one of the reasons I loved it so much was that some of the scariest and most raw, guttural moments in this movie are in real life.”

Here’s the official plot synopsis:

Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You, The White Lotus) stars as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.
