Selena Gomez may be admired for her sweet and soulful voice, but her financial achievements are nothing short of a fairytale. The pop sensation, 31, has built a gargantuan fortune over the years. What if she decides to take a break from music tomorrow?

The reality comedy series “Jury Duty” is an elaborate prank on one normal man, and you’ll want to be in on the joke.
On Tuesday, Amazon released a trailer for the series, which is coming to the free ad-supported service Freevee on April 7. It’s a “docu-comedy” following Ronald Gladden, a solar contractor from San Diego who thinks he’s taking part in a documentary about an American jury trial, from juror selection through verdict. In reality, it’s all fake, every other participant is an actor, and everything that happens is carefully scripted to make him feel like he’s taking crazy pills.
“Jury Duty” was created by “The Office” veterans Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky. “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” and “Who Is America?” producer Todd Schulman is an EP. Cody Heller (“Dummy”) is the showrunner, and Jake Szymanski (“The Package”) is the director.

The creative minds behind The Office set their new docu-style comedy in the courtroom. Amazon Freevee’s Jury Duty, which just released a trailer, focuses on 12 jurors…but only one doesn’t realize he’s not sitting on a real jury.
“Jury Duty originated with a question: Was it possible to make a sitcom like The Office about a trial, populate it with brilliant comedic performers, and put a real person at the center of the show who doesn’t realize he’s surrounded by actors?” said executive producer Todd Schulman (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm). “We honestly had no idea, but when we pitched it to Freevee we pretended like it was a sure thing. Thank God we pulled it off.”

“Jury Duty,” the upcoming docu-style comedy series starring James Marsden as himself, explores truths stranger than fiction when one unsuspecting juror is put in a courtroom of actors for a fake case and a faker documentary.
Marsden leads the “Truman Show”-style misadventure, playing a version of himself who tries – and fails – to get out of his civic duty when the judge fails to recognize him as a public figure. In the first trailer for the Amazon Freevee series, which dropped Tuesday, other characters are seen pushing the envelope of what’s acceptable behavior in the literal court of law – while real-life juror Ronald Gladden goes about his duty being none the wiser that everything is staged.

However, Gomez was already earning a hefty paycheck as the star of the Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place.

Selena Gomez is getting candid about her biggest regrets since starring as Alex Russo on Wizards of Waverly Place, the Disney Channel show that kick-started her career.
On Monday’s episode of the Wizards of Waverly Pod with Jennifer Stone and David DeLuise, the singer said her biggest mistake so far was “not staying in touch” with her co-stars from the series.
“I felt ashamed of the decisions that I made,” the Only Murders in the Building actress explained. “I didn’t want you guys to see me in the state that I was in because a, you would have told me the truth which terrifies me, and b, I didn’t want to let you down.”
Gomez starred alongside Stone (Harper Finkle), DeLuise (Jerry Russo), David Henrie (Justin Russo), Jake T. Austin (Max Russo), and Maria Canals-Barrera (Theresa Russo) in the hit show from 2007 to 2012.

[The following story includes spoilers for Netflix’s The Recruit.]
Noah Centineo became the internet’s boyfriend in 2018 when he starred as the dreamy Peter Kavinsky in Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. But Centineo’s career goes back much further than that.
The actor has been in the industry since he had a role in his first indie film at 9 years old. He continued in small projects until he landed a one-liner in Disney Channel’s Austin & Ally when he was 15, and that’s when he remembers first getting recognized by fans in a movie theater with his mom.
After a few more roles on Disney and Nickelodeon, Centineo landed the project that changed things for him: The Fosters. When Jake T. Austin left the ABC Family show, Centineo stepped in as Jesus Adams Foster, one of the show’s main characters.
“The Fosters kind of took me to a different level as well with recognition.

It's hard to call an actor like Don Cheadle "underrated" given how long he's been active in the film industry. However, it feels like Cheadle isn't often recognized for what an incredible cinematic chameleon he is. Whether he's trading quips with Robert Downey Jr. in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, popping up in prestige dramas, or playing key supporting roles as part of sprawling ensemble casts, Cheadle has an incredible versatility to him.
Although Cheadle has been working since the 1980s, he's reached new levels of fame in the 21st century. In addition to delivering award-worthy performances in theaters and on comedy shows like "House of Lies" and "Black Monday," he's stepped into the directorial chair for his debut feature, "Miles Ahead." You'd be hard-pressed to find another actor who's able to create a performance like his Oscar-nominated turn in "Hotel Rwanda," and then pivot to hilariously reinvent Captain Planet like...

Exclusive: There have been whispers for months about a top-secret courtroom docu-style comedy series filming to run on Amazon Freevee. We can reveal that the project, starring James Marsden, is now in post-production and headed to the screen.
“Freevee has confirmed the existence of the docu-style comedy series but details are under wraps amid speculation of the unique, genre-bending format centered around a jury trial,” a rep for the free, ad-supported platform told Deadline, declining further comment.
The secrecy surrounding the filming was driven by the nature of the semi-improvised series which we hear employs a device similar to the setup used in Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat and Brüno movies and the series Who Is America? where actors, often in disguise, interact with unsuspecting regular people.

A quick glance at its supporting cast — a lineup that includes such notables as Mickey Rourke, Lou Diamond Phillips, Penelope Ann Miller and Sean Astin — might lead you to suspect “Adverse” has only recently been retrieved from a time capsule originally sealed in the mid-to-late 1990s. And, indeed, if it weren’t for the occupation of the protagonist — he’s a rideshare driver, not a cabbie — and the abundance of smartphone text messaging, director Brian A. Metcalf’s modestly diverting thriller probably could pass for a direct-to-video concoction from that era. There’s something positively meta going on here, though you may have to be a hard-core B-movie buff to fully appreciate it.

Ever since Wizards of Waverly Place hit Disney+, we've been craving a reboot, and it sounds like the cast is just as excited about returning to their magical roots. During an interview with Popsugar about his upcoming film This Is the Year, David Henrie admitted that he's actually talked with his former costars Selena Gomez and Jake T. Austin about reviving the show. Though they haven't made anything official, they do have a pretty good idea of where their characters would be now.
"We think all of them have gone off and started doing their own thing," he explained. "So Justin is the head of WizTech and he's probably got a wife and tons of kids. And [Alex] is off in the Wizard World being a fashionista and is probably like the Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada of the fashion world. And then you have Max. He's probably a sub shop conglomerate.

I actually suggested Kel Mitchell as a possible cast member for “Dancing with the Stars” this past spring, and they must have taken my advice because he’s competing in the upcoming 28th season of the series. It begins on September 16, but before Mitchell and his competitors hit the dance floor, let’s consider his pros and cons.
Sign UPfor Gold Derby’s free newsletter with latest predictions
Pros
Mitchell does have the nostalgia factor going for him: Millennials who grew up watching him on Nickelodeon in the 1990s might tune in and vote to see him again. He started out as a series regular on the long-running kids’ sketch comedy series “All That,” which led to him and co-star Kenan Thompson getting their own sitcom, “Kenan & Kel.” They even got to star in their own movie, “Good Burger” (1997), which was based on a popular “All That” sketch.

“Dancing with the Stars” pros Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson will tie the knot later this year, and you can bet some of their old partners will be at their big day. And they’re pretty obvious ones.
Johnson already shared last year that Adam Rippon, with whom she won the “Athletes” season, will be a bridesman in her bridal party. But now she’s revealed to “Entertainment Tonight” (watch below) that Joe “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile will be also a guest, with his “Bachelor in Paradise” girlfriend Kendall Long as his plus one.
As you probably recall (but might want to forget), Johnson and Grocery Store Joe made it all the way to the semifinals last season despite his two left feet and abysmal scores. The two have remained friends since the season ended in November. Johnson’s only other “Dancing” partner was Jake T. Austin in Season 23; they were the first couple eliminated.
