Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb reunited at the “Today” show Monday, co-hosting for the first time in more than a year.

“Hi, everybody, good morning and welcome to ‘Today.’ Nice to have you with us on a Monday morning,” Guthrie kicked off before turning to her friend and placing a hand on her arm. “I’m so glad to have you here, Hoda!”

“I’m so happy sitting next to you in this chair again,” Kotb responded as Guthrie added, “Yeah, it’s good. It’s just like the old times!”

She then explained that Hoda, 61, is filling in for Craig Melvin, who is on a “well-deserved vacation with his family this week.”

The last time Kotb and Guthrie sat together at the “Today” show desk was on the former’s final day as a host on Jan. 10, 2025.

Kotb and Guthrie previously co-hosted the morning program from 2018 to 2025, making history as the first all-female duo.

Kotb filled in for her colleague earlier this year while her pal took a leave of absence over mom Nancy Guthrie’s devastating disappearance.

“We always talk about our show as a family. We are a family, I’m part of the family,” Kotb explained to Melvin in February. “I’m happy to be with you because we show up for each other. So let’s get to it!”

Kotb was not present when Savannah, 54, made her highly anticipated return to “Today” on April 6 after more than two months off air. She was met by adoring fans at Rockefeller Plaza.

After recapping the news with Melvin, 46, Savannah gushed that it felt “good to be home.”

Savannah revealed her return date the previous month during an emotional conversation with Kotb about her mother’s kidnapping — her first interview since the tragedy.

Savannah revealed heartbreaking details about the ordeal in the intimate segment, including how she found out the 84-year-old had vanished from her home.

“My sister, [Annie Guthrie], called me and I said, ‘Is everything OK?’ And she said, ‘No. She said, ‘Mom’s missing,’” Savannah recalled. “And I said, ‘What? What are you talking about?’ She said, ‘She’s gone.’”

During the March sitdown, Savannah also shut down speculation her family members were involved in the kidnapping and shared chilling new clues from the crime scene.

Savannah, additionally, opened up about a spiritual moment during which a voice told her Nancy is with God.

Nancy was reported missing from her Tucson home on Feb. 1.

Although Savannah, Annie and brother Camron Guthrie have since received many ransom notes linked to Nancy’s disappearance, the NBC personality believes only two were legitimate.

The search for the suspect, who wore a mask and carried a weapon in horrifying footage from Nancy’s security camera, remains ongoing.

Sadie Robertson is opening up about a terrifying moment in which her baby daughter Kit choked and briefly stopped breathing.

On Saturday, the 28-year-old “Duck Dynasty” star recounted the frightening experience in a post that she shared on Instagram.

“This feels hard to talk about in my real life, much less on social media, but I do feel it is worth sharing because I truly believe awareness of it will save lives…,” Robertson began.

“I’m currently walking through the waves of anxiety from the trauma of the situation, and the immense gratitude for the miracle of Kit’s full recovery and God’s undeniable hand on this situation,” she continued. “I’ve been off social media and having my family and amazing team help me on here for some time while I work on having a sound mind.”

Robertson went on to detail the ordeal, noting that she was hoping to raise awareness about the potentially life-threatening emergency that other parents could face.

“Kit was sitting in her high chair this week, eating a snack while I was finishing up dinner prep, when she began to choke,” Robertson wrote. “Within seconds, you could tell the severity of the situation. My mom pulled her from the high chair and placed my girl into my arms just as she stopped breathing.”

“Everyone went into action and into prayer,” she continued. “Mom called 911, I started CPR, and everyone began to pray out loud and move the other kids downstairs.”

Robertson recalled that instinct took over as she relied on both what she had learned and her faith while rushing to help her daughter.

“I am one of those people who likes to be prepared for all situations, so I’ve watched several videos while hoping and praying I would never have to use this knowledge,” Robertson wrote. “I can only explain it now like my body just knew what to do. I felt God’s Spirit guiding me, partnering with me in what I had learned and seen. I remember saying out loud, ‘what do I do?’ and then immediately started doing it and declaring life.”

She continued, “After following protocol for a baby choking and doing CPR, Kit miraculously coughed and began to breathe, just as the paramedics arrived… it was truly terrifying, but God.”

“I rode in the back of the ambulance with my girl, still afraid, but praising God.”

Robertson shares the eight-month-old along with daughters Honey, 4, and Haven, 2, with her husband Christian Huff, who she married in 2019.

The social media personality recalled that Christian pointed out a hopeful sign that he noticed on the way to the hospital and explained that Kit fully recovered after an overnight stay.

“Christian drove behind, following us, and told me there was a rainbow over the ambulance the whole way there,” she wrote. “We stayed the night for observation, but she charmed the nurses just a few hours later and is now perfectly healthy, happy, and brightening everyone’s day!”

She continued, “Sharing this as a testimony, and also as an encouragement for everyone to learn what to do in the case of an emergency. It happened SO fast, and I’m so thankful I was able to go straight into action!”

“We know that God has our children in His hands — we are not in control of our children’s breath or even of our own. We can’t live in a state of fear… we have to trust God in all of it. And also, preparation and knowledge in the spiritual and physical sense can be a gift that you can give yourself and your family! Please join us in thanking God for this miracle!” Robertson concluded.

In her post, Robertson shared a video of Kit sleeping on her chest while they lay together on a porch swing. “Miracle,” the “Live Original” author wrote on the video along with a dove emoji.

Robertson and Huff are currently starring on the second season of the “Duck Dynasty” reboot “Duck Dynasty: The Revival,” which premiered on March 7. The show follows the entire Robertson family as they navigate the next chapter of their lives, including Robertson’s pregnancy with Kit.

During an interview with Fox News Digital last month, Robertson and Huff admitted that adding a third child “stretched” their marriage. Robertson shared that welcoming Kit forced her to abandon the “brave face” she used to wear.

The reality star, who began starring on “Duck Dynasty” when she was 14, said that growing up with “cameras everywhere” made it easy to simply put on a performance.

“You can just turn it on,” she said. “You know, you can just act like everything’s okay. Someone says hi, you just say, ‘I’m good.’ And like, you genuinely can put a smile on your face and look like you’re good. But once you have three kids, it’s like, I cannot fake it.”

“I can show up and have a spit up all over me and the kids are being crazy. And it’s, like, ah, here we are in all of our mess,” she added. “Being able to let people see that and not having to show up polished or presentable but still be loved and be in a relationship has been, I think, a really sweet thing we’ve learned this year. But it’s taken us a swallow in our prid

Bethesda has once again failed to send out review copies of Starfield, with the PS5 version coming under fire from fans unhappy with its performance.

As you might have guessed, we were not sent review copies of Starfield on PlayStation 5, when it launched on Tuesday last week. Bethesda – which has never been keen on enabling reviews at the best of times – refused to send out copies of the Xbox and PC versions to certain UK outlets, including Eurogamer and The Guardian, when the game first came out in 2023.

Judging by the lack of reviews on Metacritic at the moment, we weren’t the only ones they left out this time either and, as ever, it’s easy to guess why, especially given Bethesda’s poor track record when it comes to bugs and glitches.

The original versions of Starfield were actually quite good in that respect, with generally decent performance, but fans have found that the PlayStation 5 version is considerably worse, with serious problems with bugs and crashes.

Fans have congregated in a Reddit thread entitled ‘Base PS5 crashing getting out of hand, it’s unplayable’, where the original post from ShogunRaw claims that, ‘I’m getting crashes every two minutes. Tried everything. Delete saves. Tried performance 30 and 60 fps. Delete the game and redownload it. And it’s still happening.’

‘This is not acceptable. They should refund us!’, they add, which seems to be a common sentiment amongst other players.

‘PS5 Pro user. Visuals Mode 60fps. All autosaves off. Tested on vanilla [PlayStation 5] and light LO [sic] nothing of which touches weather, environments or points of interest,’ writes colinrabb.

‘Consistent crashing. Mostly when scanning and exploring. I haven’t even left Kreet yet. When I say crashing it’s more a freeze. It’s not crashing to home screen. The game freezes and forces you to quit game. Hotfix needed ASAP. Incredibly disappointing but sadly totally unsurprising.’

‘Mine crashes straight to dashboard. I’ve turned off all I’ve read to turn off. I’ve started a new save. Don’t it all [sic]. Currently unplayable. Which really sucks,’ says Alpha_Omega_Grave in reply.

The term ‘unplayable’ comes up a lot, with Left_Worldliness6174 claiming that, ‘Playing on PS5 Pro, constant freezing and crashing while building ship. Also, while scanning planets. Since launch had over 20 freezes and crashes. Unplayable.’

‘I must stress, I own multiple PlayStation 4/5 games and have never ever experienced crashes or freezes at all on either of my PlayStation 5 consoles,’ writes Jumpy-Web6641. ‘I agree that this is definitely a bug or optimisation issue. I appreciate this is a big game, but not good practice in my opinion.’

‘I suggest you submit a ticket via Bethesda support,’ they add helpfully.

One reason why the PlayStation 5 version might be faring worse than the originals is that it launched alongside significant new DLC for the game, which combined with the new version may have created a patchwork of unanticipated problems.

The counter to all this is that the PlayStation Store currently has the game on a 4.29/5 score. Although we’ve failed to find any game that has a particularly low score, with even the abominable Code Violet sitting on an above average 2.84.

Whether that means the problems aren’t as widespread as Reddit makes it seem, or PlayStation Store patrons are just naturally generous with their reviews, isn’t clear.

Another point is that The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered suffered from similar complaints and while it wasn’t as bad as Starfield seems to be on PlayStation 5, the game still went on to sell millions, with little acknowledgement from Bethesda that there was ever a problem.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa is set to welcome two new arrivals very soon.

So far, ITV viewers have been watching Gemma Collins, Scarlett Moffatt, Adam Thomas, Ashley Roberts, Beverley Callard, Sinitta, David Haye, Seann Walsh, Craig Charles, and Sir Mo Farah tackle their second stints in the jungle.

But at the end of Friday night’s episode, a cheeky preview teased the return of Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard, much to the group’s shock.

The nation can then see them in action properly on Monday.

It’s been said that the dynamic in camp shifts ‘drastically’ once the new campmates enter, promising more drama for viewers who have already been gripped by Sinitta’s feud with the GC and found themselves raging over boxing champ David’s ‘peacocking’.

‘Camp life as the celebrities know it is about to drastically change, with the late arrival of two new campmates, Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard, in Monday’s episode,’ an ITV spokesperson said.

We’re also said to be in for our first proper row of the series, with former footie star Jimmy, 47, having clashed with Waterloo Road actor Adam, 37.

Consequently, the pair are no longer on speaking terms.

A source previously claimed that Adam ‘totally lost it’ after a trial, leaving Jimmy blindsided.

‘He started screaming at Jimmy, calling him a c**t and every other name under the sun,’ an insider told The Sun.

‘It was completely unexpected and deeply shocked the other campmates, including Jimmy, who didn’t see it coming.’

They added that ‘intensely competitive’ Adam took his jungle return ‘very seriously’.

‘He was frustrated by what happened in the Bushtucker Trial and lost his temper,’ it’s been said, with the high-stakes challenge resulting in the dreaded ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here,’ phrase being used to call things off.

And Adam isn’t the only campmate thought to be in Jimmy’s bad books.

According to sources, Jimmy was ‘furious’ upon discovering that ex-manager Harry, 79, was being paid more than him, believing they should’ve received the same fee.

‘However, Harry is considered one of the biggest names of the South Africa series,’ a source told The Sun ahead of the series launch.

‘He also loves spending time at home with wife Sandra, and it would have taken a big fee for him to spend time in South Africa without her.’

It’s currently unknown what the two contestants are being paid for their returns, but in 2018, Harry was, at the time, one of the highest-paid campmates ever.

He got a £500,000 fee, a sum that Boy George and Caitlyn Jenner are also thought to have received. In recent years, Nigel Farage and Coleen Rooney have topped the six-figure sum, though, after being paid £1.5million for their appearances.

As for Jimmy, he first did I’m A Celeb in 2014, where he was eliminated first before Carl ‘Foggy’ Fogarty was crowned the winner.

It’s thought he was given £100k at the time, which is significantly lower than Harry’s payday.

Although at the time, he didn’t kick up a fuss about the agreed fee, saying he would’ve done the show ‘for nothing’.

‘I would have paid them a little bit of money to get me in there,’ he claimed.

Jimmy and Harry actually have history, as Harry signed him for £20k in 1999 to play for West Ham United.

Alas, it was a short stint, and he was let go at the end of the 2000-01 season.

He will surely be hoping for more success on I’m A Celebrity this time. Despite being pre-recorded, a winner has yet to be decided.

The format is notably different from the original series, which sees campmates booted out one by one via a public vote. The public also gets a say in who takes on the trials.

REGINA – Some local theatres in Saskatchewan are hoping to see more independent films up on the big screen after the provincial government decided to end mandatory movie ratings.

Jordan Delorme, general manager of the Roxy Theatre in Saskatoon, says the province’s old rules were so prohibitive that some filmmakers chose to privately show their work in living rooms at home.

Many couldn’t afford the $440 ratings fee or didn’t want to deal with government bureaucracy to get a movie rated so it could premiere in theatres.

“It felt like a paywall,” Delorme said in a recent interview.

Changes to the provincial law, which came into effect earlier this month, mean exhibitors and distributors are no longer required to get a government rating before showing their work publicly.

Those typical ratings are now optional: G (general), PG (parental guidance), 14A (under 14 accompanied by an adult), 18A (under 18 accompanied by an adult) and R (restricted to those 18 and older).

But theatres must still come up with their own advisories to ensure the public is aware of any explicit content.

The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan, which regulates films, says theatres don’t have to enforce most age-based restrictions, though prohibitions remain in place for adult films.

It says such films, with sexual activity as their main object, can’t be sold, rented or shown to those under 18.

“The new (law) requires exhibitors to display relevant film content information, which parents and guardians can rely on in determining whether to permit certain age groups to view a film,” the authority said in a statement.

In the age of online streaming, Delorme said, it has become nearly impossible to enforce what teens watch.

“We would certainly advise people what the content is and advise them whether or not we think that it might be suitable for somebody of that particular age,” he said.

“But it’s not our job to say, ‘You cannot see this movie because of what the content is.’”

The legal changes have bigger effects on filmmakers and exhibitors wanting to show independent work, he added.

The Roxy had to jump through hoops to screen nearly 100-year-old silent films and family friendly documentaries not rated by the province.

“It feels kind of silly at that point,” Delorme said.

Lenore Maier, the executive and artistic director at the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon, said rating fees were prohibitive for many local filmmakers.

“There’s so few of them. Any time we can make it easier to get independent local movies on screens in Saskatchewan, that’s a win for us.”

Maier said her theatre plans to continue using the letter ratings system, noting exhibitors can still use ratings from other provinces when making advisories.

“There’s definitely no interest in actively hiding that information, because that’s not a benefit to anybody,” she said.

“Not a lot will change from the moviegoer side of things. I think it might look a little different, but it’ll be something people adjust to very quickly.”

The Movie Theatres Association of Canada said the Saskatchewan law levels the playing field with streaming platforms and live event venues, which aren’t subject to government ratings.

“The new framework gives consumers a better understanding of a film’s themes, language and imagery compared to a generic rating, allowing for individuals to make more informed choices,” it said in a statement.

Saskatchewan’s consumer affairs authority said the law was modelled after Ontario, which did away with ratings in 2019.

Exhibitors in the province are required to display contact information if anyone has questions or complaints, it added.

Robert Hardy, executive director of ScreenSask in Regina, said the Saskatchewan law reflects the modern world as more people move to watching content online.

“The biggest issue is going to be for parents — making sure that your kids are going to see movies that are OK by you. And I think if it works properly, this should work just as well or better,” he said.

“Saskatchewan and Ontario are the leaders in this area, which is great. I could see other provinces taking this example and saying, ‘Yeah, we’re going to do this too.’”

Timothy Lenko, a writer and director in Moose Jaw, Sask., said Saskatchewan’s previous rules created obstacles.

“It’s going to clear up so many headaches where we don’t have to worry about that step,” said Lenko, who’s also a co-ordinator with the Moose Jaw Film Festival.

“We are able to have full control over issuing ethical, transparent notices to audiences. It’s fantastic.”

Randy Goulden, executive director of the Yorkton Film Festival — Saskatchewan’s longest-running film festival, also applauded the move.

“We’re very pleased that there’s going to be the opportunity for more Canadian content,” she said.

Having one of the most recognisable faces in the world usually makes going to huge events like Coachella a nightmare for being recognised.

However, model Heidi Klum had the chicest solution as she ditched her familiar blonde tresses and donned a long black wig for the festival.

This year, the Californian festival has seen Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter headlining so far, with two very different sets.

Like Hannah Montana, the wig and a big pair of sunglasses meant the supermodel, 52, was able to blend in with the crowds.

We’re sure Heidi got the best of both worlds as she walked through the festival in a white dress, cut to show off one bum cheek, and cowboy boots.

‘Coachella Day 2 “Techno Hexan”, she captioned the video, tagging her husband Tom Kaulitz and brand Maison Blanche, who custom-made the outfit.

She attached her cover of 80s track Sunglasses At Night, which she released in 2024 with Tiësto.

Fans were loving Heidi’s alter ego, calling the move ‘iconic’, as Dezorzi Rose commented: ‘That black wig just unlocked a whole new version of you 🔥 what’s the name of this character?’

‘OMG, is that Heidi? I thought it was someone else! She’s super gorgeous, she’s a diva! 😍👏🏻,’ said Karlyss.

Devon Zieser praised: ‘Heidi just walking around and no one knows it’s her. Iconic.’

For day one, she had opted for a similarly incognito look, rocking shades and long platinum blonde hair with a white beanie.

Her outfit was equally monochromatic, also from Maison Blanche, with a white body suit and baggy white trousers, which had scorch marks on.

Heidi’s best of both worlds Coachella looks are far from her most astounding transformations, as the supermodel is known for going all out at Halloween.

Her annual party has become legendary, with stars dressing up in various extravagant costumes and Heidi’s outfit the star of the show.

Some of Heidi’s most iconic costumes include Medusa, complete with a huge tail, ET with her husband Tom, Fiona from Shrek, and a worm.

We’re not sure ET wandering around would be quite as incognito as her black-haired alter ego.

Heidi isn’t the only star in Coachella Valley this weekend, with the usual Kardashian-Jenner clan heading to the festival.

Kendall, Kourtney, and Kylie showed off the huge mansion they’d rented out for the week to attend, seemingly leaving partners and kids at home.

Kim was also in attendance, having brought North West with her, filming Justin Bieber’s set from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Paris Hilton, Lizzo, and Katseye’s Manon were also spotted in the valley, with the Juice singer dancing on stage with a life-sized Labubu.

Speculation around Manon’s position in the band is still at an all-time high as Katseye performed in their Coachella debut, but she was not on stage.

In February, she announced she would be taking a ‘temporary hiatus from group activities to focus on her health and wellbeing’, with her bandmates wishing her the best.

So far, there has been no indication of when Manon will return but her absence was felt doubly as the group dropped new single Pinky Up ahead of their performance.

Amazon Prime Video’s series “The Boys” returned for its fifth and final season, with showrunner Eric Kripke noting in an interview that the superhero show is heavily inspired by real life. 

He said it’s a “sinking feeling” to watch real-world events that go beyond his show’s satire.

“It’s not a great feeling. It’s a sinking feeling. It’s never great when the world out-crazies your superhero show with exploding penises,” Kripke told The Hollywood Reporter in an April 7 article, citing “internment camps” and the use of federal troops in cities.

He also criticized leadership, referring to the “clown in charge of the military” in comments about Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

“The Boys” follows a group of vigilantes who take on corrupt superheroes who abuse their power and stardom. Kripke previously compared the show’s main villain, Homelander, to President Donald Trump.

Despite the sharp political commentary, Kripke maintained that the show’s “quarrel is not with people” but with those in charge. He noted that the writers included a “right-winger” character who is portrayed as a “good guy,” explaining that the show’s focus is on “leaders who are just really problematic.”

The premiere opens with Homelander, draped in the American flag, speaking at a rally with nationalist imagery. As the crowd chants “USA,” the camera lingers on specific figures, including a pregnant woman and a man in a red hat, who viewers say resembles late conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

During the rally, Homelander references “freedom camps” where citizens are imprisoned, uses phrases like “golden dawn” and labels rivals as terrorists.

Kripke told Rolling Stone in 2022 that Homelander has “always been a Trump analogue.” In 2024, Amazon Prime Video added a disclaimer to the Season 4 finale, originally titled “Assassination Run,” following the attempted assassination of Trump.

While the show remains a hit for Amazon, many fans claim the writing has become too overt. One user wrote on X, getting nearly 2 million views: “The Boys is another example of the Hollywood left trying to villainize the right and make them look awful.” A second user wrote that the first 20 minutes of the season included “every liberal buzzword.” 

Fox News Digital reached out to Amazon for comment. 

It’s-a still making money!

“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” is continuing its winning streak — remaining in the No. 1 spot and hauling in otherworldly earnings on its second Friday in theaters.

The sequel to the 2023 original film, based on the hit Nintendo game, took in another $17.5 million, according to The Numbers.

It is on track for a three-day total between $69 and $70 million, which means it could become the first 2026 release to pass the $300 million mark domestically on its second week in theaters, as per ScreenRant.

If it does, it will be the 116th movie in history to achieve that milestone.

“Project Hail Mary” landed in second, with sales of over $6.83 million on its fourth Friday in theaters.

“Me, You & Tuscany,” which debuted on Friday, came in third, with a $3.16 million take.

The rom-com stars Regé-Jean Page of “Bridgerton” fame, and Halle Bailey, who played Ariel in 2023’s live-action adaptation of “The Little Mermaid.”

Bailey stars as a culinary school dropout from NYC who travels to Italy and stays at a villa in Tuscany, pretending to be the owner’s fiancée.

Shen then meets his winemaker cousin, played by Page.

Page joked that even though his co-star played a chef, she did not acquire any new skills in the kitchen. 

“Halle Bailey, by the way, is very humble, so she might tell you stuff like she can make cacio e pepe from scratch now,” the actor told People.

“But by from scratch, I don’t mean she can buy it and put it … No, no, she rolls the pasta.”

Decider said the film, which shot in Rome and Pienza, “has two well-known faces at its center, combined in a way that seems slightly more algorithmic than chemical, flanked by a low-wattage supporting cast.”

“The Drama” moved down a notch to fourth on its second Friday in theaters, earning almost $2.85 million in revenue.

“Hoppers” also fell one spot to fifth, earning $1.1 million on its sixth Friday in theaters.

The Pixar film has already beaten “The Wild Robot’s” domestic numbers, becoming the second-highest-earning original animation flick post-COVID in North America after 2023’s “Elemental.”

Actor John Nolan, who appeared in films Batman Begins and Dunkirk, has died aged 87.

The British star reportedly died today.

Nolan’s cause of death has not been shared publicly, but was confirmed by a local paper, the Stratford-Upon-Avon Herald.

He is also the uncle of decorated filmmaker Sir Christopher Nolan, having starred in several of his nephew’s blockbuster hits over the years.

Some of his most famous roles include Nick Faunt in all seven episodes of 1973 miniseries Shabby Tiger, Wayne Enterprises board member Douglas Fredericks in Batman Begins (2005), the Gotham Tonight promotional segments for The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Christian Bale was the Batman lead in his films.

In 2017 war epic Dunkirk, which boasted an ensemble cast including Cillian Murphy, Sir Mark Rylance, Barry Keoghan, and Harry Styles, Nolan played a blind man who greeted the soldiers upon their return.

Maintaining his family connections throughout his career, he also starred in nephew Jonathan Nolan’s series Person of Interest, playing mysterious figure John Greer. He was the show’s main villain from seasons three to five.

Nolan’s final appearance came in 2024 during an episode of American sci-fi series Dune: Prophecy. He played the Speaker of the High Council.

The London-born theatre veteran is survived by his wife, Kim Hartman, an actress known for ‘Allo ‘Allo!, whom he married in 1975. They had a son and a daughter.
