With over 15 years of experience producing reality TV, Ine Entertainment comanaging partners Mark Koops and Eric Day have learned to start looking beyond the Hollywood bubble for promising talent.

“We’re out there listening [and] consuming content … and you start to recognize that there are changes afoot. There are new voices that want to see themselves on screen and talk about their lived experiences in different ways,” Day told TheWrap for this week’s Office With a View. “When you’re listening to that, your filter then is authentic people that have a passion for doing something, and there’s a marketplace for that in the television landscape.”

After working with unscripted personalities like Jillian Michaels on “The Biggest Loser” and Gordon Ramsay on “MasterChef,” recognizing potential in young influencers isn’t too far of a stretch for the duo, whose recent slate includes Amazon Kids+’s “Surprise & Seek,” which...

Bill Maher took some time during his “New Rules” segment on Real Time Friday to offer his takeaways from the Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV docuseries.

“As one of the few people in the public eye who’s gone through life and never had kids, someone’s got to tell me why I’m always having to defend them,” the host said. “I don’t even like them, but I do think it’s every adult’s job to protect them.”

His initial reaction to Investigation Discovery’s five-part docuseries, which details allegations of abuse, sexism, racism and inappropriate behavior involving underage actors on Nickelodeon TV show sets, was, “Omg!”

“Nickelodeon? It wasn’t a studio, it was Neverland Ranch with craft services,” he shared of his portrayal of the Network after watching the series. “It is just scene after scene, clip and clip, of the...

An exasperated Bill Maher, notorious for not having his own children, asked on Friday’s ‘Real Time’ why he is the one who is always left trying to defend them.

In his “New Rules” editorial, Maher trained his guns on the shocking Max documentary Quiet on Set, which detailed what the past young stars went through on the Nick sets. “Omg,” was Maher’s opening salvo.

Maher said that the Nickelodeon depicted “wasn’t a studio – it was Neverland Ranch with craft services.” He said the documentary was “scene after scene of the child stars of their day being exposed to…degradation.” He added, “I was grossed out and I’ve gone camping with John Waters.”

The documentary is the talk of the town in Los Angeles, Maher said, but pointed out that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was derided when he was saying the same things about Disney’s actions.

Real Time With Bill Maher continues Friday, April 19 (10:00-11:00 p.m. Et/7:00-8:00 p.m. Pt). Allowing Maher to offer his unique perspective on contemporary issues, the show continues with its opening monologue, one-on-one interviews with notable guests, roundtable discussions with panelists, and its signature “New Rules.” The series airs on HBO and is available to stream on Max. This week features a one-on-one interview with Jillian Michaels, fitness, nutrition expert, and host of the podcast “Keeping It Real: Conversations with Jillian Michaels.” This week’s panel discussion includes Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author of “The Call to Serve: The Life of an American President, George Herbert ...

Bill Maher is expanding his Club Random podcast into a network, with plans to launch a new show with sports journalist Sage Steele.

Maher, host of HBO’s Real Time, is teaming with his co-creators and executive producer Chris Case and Chuck Labella in the venture, with plans to feature celebrity talent who want to “try something different and span a wide variety of personalities and interests,” according to an announcement.

Club Random Studios, as the venture is named, will debut The Sage Steele Show later today. In a statement, Maher said that the former ESPN anchor is “the perfect choice to be our first new host because, like me, she pissed off Disney. There’s a certain poetic symmetry to that.”

Maher said, “My lifelong goal has been to get the kind of conversation we have in life – utterly real, completely authentic, cleaned up for no one – on the air.

After two years of hosting his own podcast, Bill Maher will help others do the same with Club Random Studios, a podcast network and entertainment hub aiming to champion “authenticity from unfiltered celebrity voices.”

Besides Maher’s own “Club Random,” the network’s first show is “The Sage Steele Show,” hosted by Sage Steele, dropping March 27. Steele joined ESPN as an anchor in 2007 and climbed the ranks at the network until she was suspended without pay over controversial comments she made on another podcast. She sued ESPN and settled last year. Upcoming guests on “The Sage Steele Show” include Dana White, Howie Mandel, Sharon Osbourne, Jillian Michaels, Drea DeMatteo, Adam Carolla, Reggie Watts and Steve Garvey.

In a statement announcing the new venture, Maher said, “Dance like no one’s watching? We talk like no one can cancel us.”

David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash have issued a statement supporting former bandmate Neil Young in seeking the removal of their music from Spotify in protest of podcaster Joe Rogan.

In the statement posted on Stills’ Twitter page, the trio write, “We support Neil and we agree with him that there is dangerous disinformation being aired on Spotify’s Joe Rogan podcast. While we always value alternate points of view, knowingly spreading disinformation during this global pandemic has deadly consequences. Until real action is taken to show that a concern for humanity must be balanced with commerce, we don’t want our music – or the music we made together – to be on the same platform.”

In his own tweets, Crosby is publicly asking Taylor Swift to join the Spotify protest, writing that that “she is the only one who has successfully kicked Spotifys ass. The only one. I think...

Amid the mounting pressure on Spotify over allegations of Covid misinformation presented on its Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the show’s host made an apology of sorts — “if I pissed you off, I’m sorry” — and garnered support from Dwayne Johnson, Kevin James, Jewel, Jamie Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Troy Aikman, Kat Von D, Domanic Monaghan, Candice Owens, Jillian Michaels, Tomi Lahren and Andrew Dice Clay.

All of those boldfaced names responded in the comments section of the Instagram video that Rogan posted Monday in which he said he just likes to have “interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions,” but admitted he doesn’t “always get it right” and promised to “do better.”

He did so in response to criticism from Neil Young and Joni Mitchell aover what they called “fake information about vaccines” presented on his show. Rogan did not go so far as to characterize views expressed on his show as “fake.

Lizzo has emerged as one of the most popular new artists over the past year, and with good reason.

On Wednesday, the famed fitness guru stopped by Daily Pop to discuss the claims she fat-shamed Lizzo. Amid her controversial comments about the "Truth Hurts" singer's appearance, Michaels said there are "two separate narratives" happening.

“The Biggest Loser” host Bob Harper has weighed in on his former colleague Jillian Michaels’ recent comments about musician Lizzo’s body.

“The bottomline is this: It’s none of my business to make an observation of her or anyone unless [they’re] asking for my advice or opinion,” Harper told TheWrap on Saturday at the Television Critics Association press tour. “All I know about Lizzo is I never met the woman, I love her music, and I know she can play a mean flute.”

“If you come up to me at the airport or the grocery store, which people do all the time, and go like this, ‘Bob, what do I need to eat today?’ — I’m gonna tell you all day long,” he added. “But if you’re, like, minding your own business at the grocery store with your little buggy and you’ve got, I dunno, frozen pizzas — it...

The former “Biggest Loser” coach came under fire on social media Wednesday after appearing on Buzzfeed’s “Am to Dm” show and suggested that Lizzo’s body positivity wasn’t a thing to be celebrated.

“Why are we celebrating her body? Why does it matter? Why aren’t we celebrating her music? ‘Cause it isn’t going to be awesome if she gets diabetes,” Michaels shared. “I’m just being honest. I love her music, my kid loves her music, but there’s never a moment when I’m like, ‘I’m so glad she’s overweight.’ Why do I even care? Why is it my job to care about her weight?”

With just one episode of “The Masked Singer” left to go, now is a good time to look back at how well (or not) the four judges — Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke — have done to date at guessing the real identities of the celebrity contestants. Have you done better than them at figuring out which famous faces were hidden behind those elaborate masks?

The best guesser among the judges is Robin, who has correctly guessed four of the nine celebrities. He is followed closely by Nicole, who has gone three for nine. The worst guessers are Jenny and Ken, who have each managed to make just one correct guess so far. Not surprisingly, those two have embarrassed themselves with their inability to figure out who is behind the mask.

For Ken, it was when he didn’t recognize that the Poodle was his one-time co-star Margaret Cho...

Over the course of the first five episodes of Fox’s reality TV show “The Masked Singer,” Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke have shown their competitive spirit by making their best guesses about who’s behind the various masks. While some of the costumed characters’ true identities were quite obvious to guess based on the clues, others were complete shockers.

For the first four weeks of Fox’s reality TV show “The Masked Singer,” there have been two separate groups of celebrities performing on alternate days. This week, everything got mixed up as two contestants from the first group (Lion and Unicorn) competed against two celebs from the second group (Alien and Rabbit). In addition to the four individual performances, judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke were also treated to a fun group performance with all four costumed characters.

Fox’s reality TV show “The Masked Singer” revealed its fourth celebrity at the end of Wednesday’s episode that welcomed back five costumed characters for encore performances: Alien, Bee, Poodle, Rabbit and Raven. Unfortunately, Poodle ended up being voted out by the studio audience and judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke and guest Joel McHale, so she had to unmask himself in dramatic fashion (watch above). Did You guess that it was actually actress/comedian Margaret Cho inside the Poodle costume singing Cyndi Lauper‘s “Time After Time”?

See ‘The Masked Singer’ spoiler: The Rabbit is …

“I loved being on ‘The Masked Singer,” Margaret declared after the credits rolled. “It was so exciting to be hidden behind everything. I really am good friends with Ken Jeong. I played his sister on his TV show. I’m really glad that people got to see a different side to who I am.

Fox’s oddball, already-smash-hit celebrity singing game show “The Masked Singer” returned Wednesday, revealing at the end of its fourth episode that the identity of one of its famous contestants — who performed Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” disguised from head to toe in an elaborate Poodle costume — was none other than comedian Margaret Cho.

This episode saw the returns of Raven, Alien, Poodle, Bee and Rabbit. Each performed solo in succession, rather than in sing-offs, which was the format showrunner Izzie Pick Ibarra told TheWrap the show would be following after Week 2

Next, it was time for panelists Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke and guest panelist Joel McHale, along with the studio audience, to choose which member of the group was the “weakest performer,” who would then be eliminated and unmasked. And that ended up being poor Poodle.

Jillian Michaels — who lost her home in Malibu’s Woolsey fire — sent a letter on PETA's behalf asking Malibu Wine Safaris to transfer Stanley the giraffe to a reputable facility, noting that the roadside zoo doesn’t meet his complex needs and can’t ensure his protection during fires, which have become a regular occurrence in Malibu.

“I experienced firsthand just how dangerous the Woolsey fire was to all Malibu residents, as I lost my home to it. But what I’m focused on now is Stanley’s plight,” wrote Jillian. "Stanley was left alone in the fire and, as you said yourself, he was distraught. He could have lost his very life, and as long as he’s here in Malibu, where the prospect of future fires is high, he will always be in danger.

“The fire also exposed his extremely sad life of confinement and loneliness. As you know,...

With thousands more dogs facing an uncertain future after last week’s vote to ban greyhound racing in Florida, Grace and Frankie star Lily Tomlin sent a letter on PETA's behalf to the head of the National Greyhound Association (Nga) urging him to ensure that unwanted greyhounds are adopted into loving homes and not funneled into blood banks and sham rescue facilities.

In the letter, Tomlin notes that although the Nga purportedly barred its members from directly sending greyhounds to canine blood banks, the dogs still end up at seedy warehouses such as Hemopet, where they’re confined to tiny crates and barren kennels for up to 23 hours a day for 18 months or more, as was revealed in PETA’s recent eyewitness exposé.

“Dogs have always been a big part of my life, so I was heartbroken to learn from my friends at PETA about Hemopet, a cruel canine...

Vegan stars and influencers Evanna Lynch, Mya, Daniella Monet, Harley Quinn Smith, Cammie Scott, Yovana Mendoza, Jenné Claiborne, and Renee Olstead have teamed up with PETA and Meg and Komie Vora of Los Angeles womenswear brand Delikate Rayne for a new vegan fashion campaign that urges both consumers and businesses to consider the animals who are exploited and killed for fashion — and change the game.

The campaign features a new video in which the women share the reasons why they choose vegan leather, faux fur, wool-free knits, and other animal-friendly fabrics — and why they encourage their combined 8 million followers to do the same. The campaign also includes a limited-edition PETA x Delikate Rayne faux-suede cap, 20 percent of the proceeds of which will go toward PETA’s lifesaving work for animals.

R&B singer Mýa says, “The true test of any nation is how it treats its innocent beings, and animals obviously fall into the category.
