    Apr 30 2025

    Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are back with Welcome to Wrexham—and this season, it's not just soccer drama; it’s got appearances from Tom Brady and Channing Tatum! Speaking of Brady, he’s now a YouTube guru, teaching how to throw a football, but does he really need to? Meanwhile, there’s a bit of a social media spat brewing between Travis Kelce and Ryan Reynolds—could Taylor Swift be the cause? Plus, the latest from Pete Davidson, who's opening up about his tattoos and past struggles, and some big names like Green Day and Ellen Pompeo are getting stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Oh, and The White Lotus—will Jack Black join the cast? Could this ruin the show, or make it even better?
