The Grammy-nominated singer and Berklee graduate, Charlie Puth, delivered a heartfelt rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner before Super Bowl LX. Standing in front of a Rhodes keyboard, Puth’s soulful performance kicked off the matchup between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks in style.

The crowd at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara responded with loud applause and cheers, appreciating the musician’s passionate delivery. Charlie Puth began his musical journey at a young age, launching a YouTube channel at 17 where he gained recognition for his acoustic covers. He later attended Berklee College of Music, graduating in 2013 with a degree in music production and engineering.

Puth’s National Anthem performance was the highlight of a packed pregame schedule. Earlier, singer Coco Jones delivered a beautiful rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” followed by Brandi Carlile’s performance of “America the Beautiful.” The pregame festivities also included a brief concert from Green Day.

‘Tell Me Lies’ star Jackson White hints at big Season 3 finale

**SCAD TVfest Honors Television’s Brightest Stars in Atlanta**

ATLANTA — The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) held its annual TVfest this week in Atlanta, celebrating “an exceptional group of artists and storytellers whose work reflects television’s enduring power and cultural impact.”

Among the honorees were some of the industry’s most dynamic talents:

– **Quinta Brunson**, creator and star of *Abbott Elementary*, received the Variety Creative Showrunner Award.
– *Tell Me Lies* star **Jackson White** was honored with the Rising Star Award.
– The beloved *Scrubs* cast — **Zach Braff**, **Donald Faison**, and **Sarah Chalke** — took home the Cast Award.

### Rising Star Jackson White Talks *Tell Me Lies*

On The Red Carpet spoke with Jackson White, who portrays Stephen, the toxic love interest of Lucy (played by Grace van Patten) in Hulu’s *Tell Me Lies*. White described playing Stephen as “a good exercise in stoicism.”

Receiving the Rising Star Award at SCAD TVfest, White shared his gratitude:
“It’s great. What an honor. So cool. It’s nice to be recognized in any capacity for all of the pain and the grinding.”

Looking ahead to the highly anticipated Season 3 finale, White teased, “I can’t say it’s a great ending, but it’s going to spark a lot of conversation.” The finale is set to premiere on Hulu on February 17.

### *Scrubs* Cast Reunites Ahead of Revival on ABC

Also at the fest, we caught up with the *Scrubs* cast as they gear up for the show’s ABC revival. The original series aired from 2001 to 2010, and the new version will premiere on February 25.

Sarah Chalke reflected on the enduring friendships among the cast:
“I’ve known these guys 25 years.”

Braff and Faison’s on-screen bromance is just as strong off-screen:
“Yeah, it’s mostly thanks to his wife,” Braff joked. “She’s sort of the mediator because we get in bromance disagreements, and he will go off and pout. Then his wife, on the text chain, will be like, ‘Y’all need to work this out.’”

Faison chimed in with a laugh:
“That is 100% true, yes. And I do pout, yes. Yeah, so I really have to give credit to CaCee Cobb, Donald’s wife, because she’s the glue.”

For those new to *Scrubs*, no worries — the revival promises to be accessible to all viewers:
“I promise you, we did the research, and we’re giving you what you want. And if you’re new to the show, you don’t have to watch the old show to enjoy this version of it. It’s for everybody,” said Faison.

High-Profile Peacock Show Officially Scrapped

Posted on by
Reply

A high-profile Peacock show is no longer happening. After it was announced in 2025 that the *Upgrade* sequel series was canceled, producer Tim Walsh further confirmed the news.

Back in 2020, Deadline reported that Leigh Whannell’s 2018 sci-fi thriller *Upgrade* would be getting a TV follow-up. The original film follows a technophobe who, after a mugging leaves him paralyzed, is implanted with a chip that allows him to control his body. The planned series was set to pick up a few years after the events of the film, broadening the universe with an evolved version of STEM and a new host, imagining a world in which the government repurposes STEM to help curb criminal activity.

Blumhouse Television and UCP were set to collaborate on the project, with Whannell attached to direct. However, in early 2025, Whannell alluded to the show’s cancellation during an interview with *The Hollywood Reporter*. He explained, “As far as making a sequel to *Upgrade*, it’s another one where he thinks they’re good and it doesn’t need another. I would love to let that film keep bubbling away as this cult movie, and if people keep thinking that it was somehow prophetic, then that would be great.”

More recently, in an interview with *Bloody Disgusting*, producer Tim Walsh shed additional light on the cancellation. “Leigh and I sold that to Peacock back in 2019,” he recalled. “I think I started my writer’s room for *Upgrade* on the day the world shut down from the pandemic. We had the writer’s room. We wrote the scripts. But, as often happens in this business, somebody up top at Peacock got fired, and a new person came in, thought they knew everything, and dropped that project. It never got picked up later because it was a tumultuous time in the world.”

Considering Whannell has expressed no interest in pursuing an *Upgrade* sequel, it can be assumed that he and Walsh won’t be trying to revive the series. Whether the series would have moved forward if not for the pandemic remains unknown, but COVID-19 certainly disrupted many productions. It seems the pandemic was the final nail in the coffin for the *Upgrade* sequel series.

Drake addresses plans for UPD

Posted on by
Reply

Members of the Students’ Association (SA) held an emergency meeting Friday to vote in opposition to a bill that would have removed the requirement of an enhanced permit as a condition for carrying a concealed pistol on South Dakota public higher education campuses. House Bill 1133 was ultimately killed in a 9-6 vote in the House committee on Monday, according to SA Government Affairs Chair Anna Hundt.

**Open Forum**

Monday night’s SA meeting began with an address from interim Police Chief Michael Drake. Drake is currently providing leadership for the University Police Department (UPD) until South Dakota State University (SDSU) hires a new chief.

When asked about the practices and policies he plans to implement at UPD, Drake emphasized a focus on professionalism and serving the “customer base.”

“I want to make sure that UPD, their culture fits with what you folks want, or what your family wants or what the staff wants here,” Drake said.

During his time as chief, Drake also aims to maintain transparency in the department’s communication.

“My communication standard as far as being the chief of police or representing a police agency is to be upfront and honest with folks,” he explained. “Not because we have to meet standards or comply with Title IX, but because you should know what’s going on when something is happening in the halls, or on the side or within our campus community where that impacts you every day.”

Originally from New York state, Drake moved to Brookings in 2022. He shared that his roles with the Brookings Police Department and now UPD have made him feel “rejuvenated.”

The 2026 Hobo Day Grand Pooba, Grace Barnett, also addressed the senate. Barnett has been involved with the Hobo Day Committee for the past three years and is excited to enhance the annual Hobo Gear Prep Night event during Hobo Week.

“We’re looking at doing a fun little twist on that, possibly doing some premade outfits, or possibly having different coordinators on the team compose an outfit that they choose,” Barnett said. Hobo Day is set for October 24, 2026.

**Committee Reports**

An additional 200 journals are now available for free to SDSU students, Chief of Staff Emma Peterson announced. The library committee recently signed an agreement, bringing the total number of accessible journals to 1,300.

Peterson also reported a change in Briggs Library’s Sunday hours. Starting now, the library opens at noon instead of 1 p.m.

Additionally, a new textbook guide has been created for students by the Wintrode Student Success Center.

“There is now a textbook guide since there are so many different ways for students to access their textbooks, whether it’s online or a physical textbook,” Peterson explained.

Copies of the textbook guide will be available in the Students’ Association office, located on Main Street in the Student Union.

‘American Idol’ Sings With Best Debut In Four Years

American Idol’s Move to Monday Night Pays Off with Biggest Season Debut in Four Years

American Idol’s shift to a new night appears to have paid off handsomely. The ABC talent contest scored its biggest season debut in four years, drawing 5.9 million total viewers and earning a 0.54 share among adults aged 18-49, according to Nielsen’s live+same day ratings. This marks a significant increase from last year’s 4.49 million viewers and 0.45 share.

This premiere was the show’s strongest since Season 20 in 2022. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, with judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Carrie Underwood, American Idol previously aired on Sunday nights but moved to Mondays for this season.

During the ratings reveal, ABC took a subtle jab at NBC’s The Voice. The Disney-owned network highlighted that Idol outperformed The Voice’s premiere in its nine-season run on ABC and “surged past” The Voice’s fall average. However, ABC’s comparison was made against The Voice’s seasonal average rather than its premiere numbers.

Showrunner Megan Michaels Wolflick spoke to Deadline earlier this month about the scheduling strategy, saying, “The beginning of the year is awards season and a lot of these award shows are on Sunday nights. You’re up against the Grammys and the Super Bowl. Let’s see what happens on Monday.”

Clearly, ABC is enjoying a ratings boost for its flagship linear entertainment shows such as American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. Highlighting its growing engagement, Idol received more than double the votes during its finale last season compared to previous years.

This season, American Idol is also experimenting with live social media voting for the first time, becoming the first entertainment show to implement this feature.

Last night’s premiere featured notable performances including Jesse Findling, who has a stutter and sang Benson Boone’s “In The Stars,” and Khloe Grace, who performed “Forever 13” — a song written about Aubreigh Wyatt, a 13-year-old girl who tragically died by suicide in 2023. Carrie Underwood was visibly moved to tears by Grace’s performance, underscoring the emotional impact of the moment.

With these developments, American Idol continues to secure its position as a top-rated and culturally relevant talent competition on network television.

EXCLUSIVE: First Lady Melania Trump Takes On Every Element of New Film “MELANIA”

From the music and cinematography to the lighting, marketing, and beyond, First Lady Melania Trump has meticulously planned every aspect of her upcoming film, “MELANIA.” Speaking to Fox News Digital, her agent and exclusive senior advisor, Marc Beckman, described her involvement in bringing her vision to life as “unparalleled.”

Set to hit theaters globally on January 30, “MELANIA” is a 104-minute film debuting across North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and more.

### Washington Premiere at the Trump-Kennedy Center

The night before the global release, on January 29, premiere events will take place nationwide. Amazon is bringing the film to theaters, hosting premieres in cities including New York, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Chicago, Miami, San Diego, Nashville, Orlando, Orange County, San Francisco/Palo Alto, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Boston, Austin, Houston, Las Vegas, Dallas, and Los Angeles.

Fox News Digital has learned that President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will attend the prominent Washington premiere event at the newly renamed Trump-Kennedy Center.

### First Lady’s Involvement: A Hands-On Approach

Marc Beckman, who serves as Melania Trump’s agent and exclusive senior advisor, told Fox News Digital that the First Lady has been deeply involved from the beginning.

“The First Lady’s involvement and her participation in this film is unparalleled,” Beckman said. “She is fully committed—from the ideation of the concept itself to the creative direction across all touchpoints.”

Known as a highly visual person with an exceptional sense of style and design, Melania has long had the desire to enter the film industry.

Beckman explained, “From the very start, the First Lady aimed to create a rich, cinematic experience unlike anything created before. This is not a documentary; this is a film. It offers her fans, Americans, and people around the world an unprecedented look into the life of a very private First Lady.”

### What the Film Covers

The film offers audiences insight into Melania Trump’s business endeavors, philanthropic work, and family life as she prepares to serve another term as First Lady of the United States.

Viewers will see intimate moments with her husband, interactions with the U.S. Secret Service, geopolitical events, meetings with world leaders, and a notable emphasis on fashion—a self-described “fashion explosion.”

Beckman emphasized, “Vogue can’t keep up with the First Lady’s fashion. She is undeniably the most fashionable First Lady in history.” The film grants access to unprecedented meetings and moments between a First Lady and President preparing to take office again.

### Behind the Deal: Amazon Wins Bidding War

Beckman led the initial negotiations with major companies such as Amazon, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), Paramount, Netflix, and Disney.

“Disney, Netflix, and Paramount all sought exclusive rights for the film,” Beckman said. “Amazon and MGM submitted the highest bid, ultimately securing the license for $40 million—the largest documentary deal in history.”

He added, “The competitive bidding process was intense, but Amazon stood out not only for their financial offer but also because they had the ideal team to help create the high-quality theatrical film the First Lady envisioned.”

Following the film’s theatrical release, Amazon will also produce a docuseries to allow the First Lady to delve deeper into the stories and themes introduced in the film.

### Creative Team and Production Highlights

The film is directed by Brett Ratner, known for directing the “Rush Hour” series. According to Beckman, Ratner has been impressed by Melania Trump’s natural talent and creativity.

“Brett said it’s as if Mrs. Trump has been working in Hollywood her whole life. She helped set the tone—not only on concept but also on lighting and filming,” Beckman said.

In post-production, Melania was actively involved in editing, color correction, and hand-selecting the soundtrack. She also contributed heavily to marketing, collaborating with Ratner and Amazon to produce the film trailer, commercials, and ad campaigns.

The film’s photography is by renowned fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth, famous for her work with Chanel, Dior, Vanity Fair, and Vogue. The First Lady and von Unwerth share a strong bond, partly rooted in their mutual passion for foster care advocacy, which strengthens their professional collaboration.

### Global Release and Marketing Campaign

“MELANIA” will launch simultaneously in the United States and 30 other countries, including Italy, Japan, Korea, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Israel, Mexico, Hungary, Slovenia, and more.

“Each country will have its own ad campaign in the local language,” Beckman said. One notable campaign in Florence, Italy, features movie images projected on the iconic Duomo cathedral.

### Premiere Events and Exclusive Details

For the January 29 premieres, Melania Trump personally planned every detail—from guest gifts and seating arrangements to menus and collectible packaging designs like popcorn tubs.

Beckman summarized, “It’s all her vision and creativity.”

The exclusive trailer released in December 2025 opens with the First Lady walking into the U.S. Capitol rotunda before her husband’s second inauguration, dressed in her iconic inauguration outfit, saying, “Here we go again.”

The trailer shows powerful images from the inauguration, moments with Barron Trump and Melania’s father, to iconic symbols like Air Force One and the presidential seal, accompanied by the famous MGM lion roar.

### More From Melania: Bestselling Memoir and Collector’s Edition

The film follows the success of Melania Trump’s memoir, titled *Melania*, released one year prior. The book offers an intimate portrait featuring personal stories and family photos not previously shared. Since release, it has remained at the top of The New York Times bestseller list.

### Conclusion

With “MELANIA,” First Lady Melania Trump brings a unique, artistic, and intimate cinematic experience to theaters worldwide, combining personal storytelling, style, and unprecedented access. Fans and audiences globally will soon be able to see this exclusive look at the life of one of America’s most private and stylish First Ladies.

Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell Reunite for Horror Comedy

Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell are reuniting to chase and run away from a monster in an exciting new project. The longtime friends and former Nickelodeon co-stars will topline and produce *Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein*, a horror comedy set to begin production this summer.

The movie is co-produced by Thompson’s Artists for Artists company and Range Media Partners, with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Pete Micelli from Range handling sales. Jonah Feingold, known for *31 Candles* and *At Midnight*, is writing the script. The story pays homage to the classic *Abbott and Costello Meet* films.

Thompson and Mitchell will serve as producers alongside Artists for Artists co-founder John Ryan Jr., Kavanaugh-Jones, and Carter Swan. Will Hariton, Azim Spicer, and Monica Weber are set to executive produce.

The duo’s last project together was the 2023 release *Good Burger 2* on Paramount+, and they announced this new film at the end of Tuesday’s *Good Sports* on Prime Video. Mitchell filled in for regular host Kevin Hart during the announcement.

“Kel and I have always loved finding new ways to work together, and this project felt like the perfect mix of nostalgia, comedy, and something completely unexpected,” Thompson said in a statement. “We’re excited to bring a fresh take on a classic monster story and have some fun doing it.”

Added Mitchell, “Coming back together always feels natural, and this lets us tap into everything people love about our dynamic while trying something totally new. It’s funny, it’s scary, and it’s a great ride.”

In *Kenan & Kel Meet Frankenstein*, Mitchell and Thompson play delivery drivers whose routine drop-off takes a terrifying turn when they arrive at a creepy, out-of-place castle. There, they accidentally awaken Frankenstein’s monster, turning an ordinary night into a fight for survival.

Both Thompson and Ryan Jr. are represented by Range Media Partners. Fans can look forward to more updates as production on this fresh, nostalgic horror comedy gets underway.
