Another popular Apple TV+ show, Pluribus, was also represented by creator Vince Gilligan and star Rhea Seehorn.

The stars attended a panel discussion at the Saban Media Center that turned into a full-blown tribute to the groundbreaking star of The Carol Burnett Show.

Carol, 92, said on the panel that it meant “the world” to play Norma on Palm Royale, per Gold Derby.

She said when series showrunner and executive producer Abe Sylvia contacted her about it, she was sold right away.

“I said, ‘Who’s in it?’ He said, ‘Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney, Leslie Bibb, Laura Dern.’ I said, ‘Stop. I’m in. I don’t care what you want me to do. I want to lock eyeballs with all of these people,’” she shared. “He said, ‘The first few episodes you’re going to be in a coma.’ I said, ‘That’s even better.’”

At the end of the panel, Bernadette joined to sing the closing theme song of The Carol Burnett Show.

Per Apple, Palm Royale is a true underdog story that follows Maxine Simmons (Wiig) as she endeavors to break into Palm Beach high society.

The planned Yellowstone panel for 2023 Paleyfest over the weekend delivered less than stellar results.

First announced in January, the plan was for many of the lead cast to attend, and that included creator Taylor Sheridan, executive producer David Glasser as well as cast members Kevin Costner, Kelly Reilly, Cole Hauser, Luke Grimes, Kelsey Asbille, Wes Bentley, Gil Birmingham and Jacki Weaver.

However, the only ones to actually show were Josh Lucas, Wendy Moniz, Mo Brings Plenty, and Dawn Olivieri.

The absences seem to stem from the fact that there has been drama involving Kevin and Taylor over the shooting schedule for the rest of season five.

Many fans who attended the event were surprised that only four cast members actually showed up for it, and called out how they were blindsided by the fact.

They also called out Paley Center for not alerting those who had bought tickets to the event ahead of time, especially since they tweeted about the full cast being there just hours before.

The cast absence comes just after CBS President Chris McCarthy opened up about the next Yellowstone spinoff which would star Matthew McConaughey.

Josh Lucas is ready for a Sweet Home Alabama sequel!

“I would love to. I’ve campaigned her. I’m not gonna say that she’s the problem, but I think part of it is that Reese is so busy,” Josh shared with ET. “I really believe that — I’m assuming, I hope — she wants to be part of it. Carving out that piece of her life isn’t so easy for her. I don’t have the same responsibilities or time constraints, so I hope that she could find a time to do it. I’ll be there tomorrow.”

Josh then went on to gush over Reese, 46, and her work ethic.

“I go back to when we were shooting that movie, I had this moment where I was like, ‘Wow, this woman is a really brilliant, powerful person,’” Josh recalled. “Not just, obviously, being a great actress, comedian that she was — she’s in her mid-20s at that point. I said to the director, I said to a couple of people, ‘Reese is gonna run a movie studio.’ They were like, ‘Really?’”

The Sweet Home Alabama director recently revealed that this Oscar-winning actress almost starred in the movie instead of Reese!

Set during the powder keg era of the early 1970s, it follows Maxine Simmons (Wiig) and her attempt to secure her seat at America’s most exclusive table: Palm Beach high society. As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, the series asks the same questions that baffle us today: Who gets a seat at the table, how do you get a seat at the table, and what will you sacrifice to get there?”

Josh Lucas is addressing a possible Sweet Home Alabama sequel!

Almost 20 years after the rom-com hit theaters, the 50-year-old actor opened up in a new interview if he would be down to do a sequel to his hit movie with Reese Witherspoon.

Click inside to read more…

While chatting with Jessica Shaw on SiriusXM’s “Pop Culture Spotlight,” Josh said he would “love” to do a Sweet Home Alabama sequel, but only if Reese would be on board too.

“Look, I would love to do the sequel. The issue is Reese’s got a book club,” Josh said. “And I’m saying that like laughingly, but Reese is, you know, I’ve heard like, ‘Oh, you can talk to her about stuff five years from now.’ You know, she’s a mogul.”

Josh then went on to gush about Reese, saying he always knew she would become a huge mogul one day.

“And back when I was doing Sweet Home Alabama, I, for some reason, remember telling the director or somebody speaking about her, but I said, ‘I bet this woman ends up running a movie studio one day,’” Josh recalled. “And she’s even beyond that at this point. I mean, you know, she’s, she’s her own version of Oprah Winfrey now, right? I mean, she’s, she’s as, and it’s extraordinary and not surprising either, at all.”

Josh finished up by saying, “Reese, c’mon, let’s go do it.”

Released in 2002, Josh and Reese starred in Sweet Home Alabama alongside Patrick Dempsey, Candice Bergen, and Jean Smart.

On the morning after The Purge, a masked gang of killers attacks the Tucker family—including Dylan’s wife (Cassidy Freeman), and his sister (Leven Rambin), forcing both families to band together and fight back as the country spirals into chaos and the United States begins to disintegrate around them.

Last year, Josh and his estranged wife, Jessica Ciencin Henriquez, called off things for good after first splitting in 2014. It appeared that they were heading towards reconciliation, however, Jessica accused Josh of cheating on her during the pandemic.

The two were married in 2012, and share an eight-year-old son, Noah.

Jessica was also linked to this other celebrity scandal.

Josh Lucas‘ wife has posted a scathing message on Twitter geared towards him.

Jessica Ciencin Henriquez took to her account to post an emotional message about her relationship with the 48-year-old actor, claiming that he cheated on her.

“Having a child with someone makes you want to forgive them more than you normally would,” the New York Times writer shared. “It makes you believe they are better than they are. But it takes a really s–t human to cheat on their partner (correction: now ex partner) in the middle of a pandemic. Thank you for reminding me why I left you in the first place.”

“I deserve better than this,” Jessica continued. “Our son deserves better than this.”

Jessica then encouraged women to share their own stories about their exes.

“And yes, I’m airing this publicly because there are a lot of women accepting much less than thy deserve because there are kids in the picture,” Jessica explained. “You’re not stupid for hoping, for believing that people can change. I see you.”

Josh and Jessica married in 2012 before splitting in 2014. They share 7-year-old son Noah.

Josh has not addressed Jessica‘s post yet.

The 46-year-old actress joined actor Josh Lucas on the couch on The Late Late Show With James Corden on Monday night (November 11), and shared some pretty disgusting details about her “meaty” first kiss.

“It was so bleak,” Beckinsale recalled. “I’m surprised I ever kissed anyone again after it.”

Kate revealed that she was a “late bloomer” when it came to kissing, and the only reason she became interested in locking lips with someone was because all of her friends had already done it.

“I was a really militant vegetarian at the time and he had just eaten a meat lovers pizza… so massive trauma,” Kate began. “But what I didn’t realize was that there is all that wet activity inside the other person’s month… with lots of bits of sausages in as well. So I called my mom, I said, ‘I need to go home now, I’ve had a horrible experience with some meat.’”
