Lady Gaga hit the red carpet for Monday night's premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2, and as the film's director seemingly confirmed at the premiere, it wasn't just because she recorded a song for the soundtrack.

According to Vanity Fair, David Frankel took the stage at the New York City event prior to the movie beginning, and then revealed what he called "the worst kept secret in showbiz." As per the publication, the secret was that Lady Gaga appears in the film as herself, "singing original music to boot." Gaga then came onstage wearing a black Saint Laurent Fall 2016 gown, kissed Meryl Streep on the cheek and waved to everyone.

The rumors that Gaga might appear in the movie began after she was photographed while reportedly leaving the set in Milan last year.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters May 1, with returning stars Anne Hathaway, Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, as well as multiple additional celebrity cameos.

The teaser trailer for Silo season 3 has arrived.

Apple TV has released the first teaser for the third season of its drama series starring and executive produced by Rebecca Ferguson.

Season 3 will consist of 10 episodes, the first of which will premiere on July 3. A new episode will debut every Friday that follows through Sept. 4.

Silo's third season will continue the saga of the dystopian society of 10,000 people who live underground in mysterious circumstances, as well as an origin story of the society that's set centuries in the past.

"In the present, Juliette Nichols (Ferguson) survives her forced 'cleaning' but returns with memory loss as the silo recovers from rebellion and faces a dangerous new threat," according to an official description from Apple TV. "Meanwhile, in the 'Before Times,' journalist Helen Drew (Jessica Henwick) and Congressman Daniel Keene (Ashley Zukerman) uncover a conspiracy that pulls them into a chain of events with catastrophic, irreversible consequences."

The trailer finds Ferguson's Juliette grappling with questions about the society she lives in.

"Before we can know why we're here, before we can know why everything is as it is, before we can know how it all will end, we need to understand how it all began," she says in voice-over.

Also starring in season 3 are Common, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Alexandria Riley, Shane McRae, Remmie Milner, Rick Gomez, Billy Postlethwaite and Clare Perkins.

Silo has already been renewed for a fourth and final season. The show is based on the Silo trilogy of books by Hugh Howey.

Jennifer Hudson returns to 'American Idol' as a mentor, guest judge

Jennifer Hudson returned to American Idol more than two decades after she competed on the show.

The talk show host and EGOT winner joined her American Idol family Monday night as a mentor and guest judge. Hudson took a seat at the judges table alongside hosts Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and fellow Idol alum Carrie Underwood for this week's Disney night.

Hudson told ABC News that coming back to the show as a guest judge and mentor felt like a "dream come true."

"I got to call myself a judge today," she continued. "I don't take anything lightly and I celebrate everything. It's a celebration to be able to come back in my circle of life and be in the judging panel."

"As soon as I walked in and I saw the 'American Idol' sign, I felt like a contestant all over again," she said. "That feeling never leaves you. So my heart always goes out to the finalists."

As a guest judge, Hudson brought a surplus of shoes to compliment singers.

After finalist Keyla Richardson's performance of "Circle of Life," Hudson threw a shoe on stage at the 29-year-old and told her that the song, which she also sang in 2004 when she competed on the show, serves as a "full circle of my life."

While Hudson didn't win American Idol in 2004 (she placed seventh), she went on to become an Emmy-nominated talk show host, Oscar winner and more. In 2022, Hudson achieved EGOT status when she won a Tony Award for her work as a producer on the Broadway show A Strange Loop.

Following Monday night's show, the contestants that remain are Richardson, Jordan McCullough, Brooks Rosser, Chris Tungseth, Hannah Harper, Braden Rumfelt and Daniel Stallworth.

Next week, the top seven finalists will take the stage to perform Taylor Swift songs, and Nikki Glaser will be a guest judge.

The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of ABC News.

Josh Hutcherson is opening up about the Taylor Swift fans who went after him on social media.

Back in December 2025, Hutcherson appeared in an I-D interview with his I Love LA costar Jordan Firstman, in which he said, "I'm not a Swiftie. Very much not. No shade, all respect, but definitely not."

Firstman then said, "A little tiny shade. She can handle a little bit of shade."

Fans of Swift took to Hutcherson's social media after the interview was released, with many of them pointing out that the actor attended The Eras Tour. In an interview with British GQ published on Monday, Hutcherson spoke about the response from Swift's fans.

"I got some heat because I did a photo shoot with Jordan, and Jordan asked me something about being a [Taylor Swift fan], and I was like, 'Oh no, I’m definitely not a Swiftie,'" Hutcherson said. "All of a sudden it garnered this, 'F*** him! He’s a monster! Destroy him! He’s short! He hates her because he’s short!’"

Hutcherson, who is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, said the whole ordeal made him want a more private lifestyle.

"I think [Taylor] is great. Her music is not my kind of music," Hutcherson said. "That is why I don’t want to be online ... I don't need that energy."

The actor admitted his current overexposure has made him anxious.

"Being thrust out again in the world and online in such a big way, doing a bunch of press and being on TikTok, all those things made me feel very exposed. I started to get a lot of anxiety about it," Hutcherson said, noting he has still has insecurities. "[They] haven’t gone away. I think I’ve learned how to cope and accept that these are my genetics. This is what I have."

Patrick Muldoon, known for his roles on shows including Days of Our Lives and films including Starship Troopers, has died at age 57, his representative confirmed to ABC News Monday.

Muldoon rose to fame in the early 1990s with his role on Days of Our Lives, on which he originated the role of Austin Reed. He later starred on the primetime soap opera Melrose Place and had a recurring role on Saved By the Bell.

Days of Our Lives paid tribute to its former star on Monday, writing in an Instagram post, "The Days of our Lives family is saddened by the news of Patrick’s untimely passing."

"As the original 'Austin Reed,' he left an indelible mark in Salem both personally and professionally. Our thoughts are with his loved ones, and he will be missed by all of us," the soap opera posted, alongside a series of photos of Muldoon.

Allison Sweeney, who co-starred with Muldoon on Days of Our Lives, shared memories of the actor in a post on X Monday, writing, "Pat was a rare kind of person—brilliantly talented, endlessly kind, and generous in spirit. I was so lucky to have worked with him when I first started at Days, he made me feel at ease right away. He brought his unique charm and humor to work every day. A truly gifted guy, and one who will be profoundly missed."

Lisa Rinna, who also starred alongside Muldoon on Days, posted a photo of the pair together in an Instagram Story, alongside a broken heart emoji.

In addition to his TV roles, Muldoon acted on the big screen, including the 1997 movie Starship Troopers, playing the role of Zander Barcalow.

Over his decadeslong acting career, Muldoon accrued nearly 100 acting credits, as well as more than one dozen producing credits and several soundtrack credits, according to IMDb.

Just days before his death, Muldoon shared a post on Instagram promoting a new film he was working on, Kockroach, starring Chris Hemsworth, Taron Egerton and Zazie Beetz.

'Superman' sequel 'Man of Tomorrow' starts production, James Gunn teases Lex Luthor in jail

The Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow has started production.

Director James Gunn revealed that cameras have started rolling on the superhero sequel in a post on Instagram Monday.

"From the set of #ManofTomorrow. Shooting now," Gunn captioned his post.

The photo Gunn shared features a chess board, a bag of opened Ruffles potato chips and a VanKull Department of Corrections badge for an inmate named A. Luthor. One can only assume the badge is for the villainous Lex Luthor, who was portrayed by Nicholas Hoult in Gunn's 2025 Superman blockbuster film.

In a conversation with Howard Stern in September 2025, Gunn, who also serves as the co-head of DC Studios, said the new film will feature Superman teaming up with his enemy, Lex Luthor.

“It’s a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,” Gunn said. “It’s more complicated than that, but that’s a big part of it. It’s as much a Lex movie as it is a Superman movie."

The director continued, saying, "I relate to the character of Lex, sadly. I really wanted to create something extraordinary with the two of them. I just love the script so much."

Warner Bros. Pictures will release Man of Tomorrow in theaters on July 9, 2027.

The trailer finds all of the Owens women living in the same picturesque white home by the water from the first film, going about their daily tasks and using a bit of magic along the way.

"I'm sure you've heard of the Owens family. The ones from Massachusetts. The ones their neighbors whisper are witches," Bullock says through voice-over in the trailer.

"I've waited such a long time for this," Kidman says, before she jumps off the home's roof while holding an open umbrella.

"Yes, she has," Bullock says, as she opens up an umbrella herself.

Susanne Bier directed the film from a script by Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett. It's based on the novel The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman.

People magazine's “World’s Most Beautiful” issue is out this week, and Good Morning America is exclusively revealing this year's cover star: Anne Hathaway.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 star is a force to be reckoned with, promoting five films this year. Hathaway, 43, said she's not slowing down and is embracing having fun in her career, instead of stressing over it.

Twenty years since the first The Devil Wears Prada movie was released, the cast — which also includes Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci and Meryl Streep — is reuniting for a sequel, something Hathaway said she has dreamed about revisiting.

Hathaway also opened up to People about getting to perform alongside the legendary Streep again, who plays Miranda Priestly in the series.

"Just to get to see an artist like her, I don't talk about how much I revere her to her, but I do," said Hathaway. "Someone whom I admire, someone who does it better than anybody, somebody who defines how it's done, somebody who is just living greatness. And never rests on that laurel but is always pushing herself to expand as an artist."

The Devil Wears Prada 2 will be released in theaters May 1, and People magazine's "World's Most Beautiful" issue will be out April 24.

20th Century Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News and Good Morning America.

Jennifer Stone to return as Harper Finkle in 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place'

Harper Finkle and Alex Russo are reuniting.

Jennifer Stone is set to reprise her Wizards of Waverly Place role of Harper Finkle in the final season of its spinoff series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

Harper is the eccentric human best friend of Selena Gomez's beloved wizard Alex Russo.

Disney announced earlier in April that Wizards Beyond Waverly Place will return for its final chapter this summer. Production on the new episodes started this month.

Gomez is set to make her directorial debut as she helms the premiere episode of this final chapter in the Russo family's story. In addition to directing, Gomez will reprise her role of Alex over multiple episodes and continue executive producing.

Stone made a return to acting after she took a hiatus to earn her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She graduated in 2019 with plans to resume acting full-time, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit and she stepped into the emergency room and served on the front lines. Now, Stone balances ER shifts with her love of acting, according to a press release.

Wizards Beyond Waverly Place stars David Henrie as Justin Russo and Janice LeAnn Brown as the young wizard Billie. Alkaio Thiele, Max Matenko, Taylor Cora and Mimi Gianopulos also make up the main cast.

This final chapter of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place is being billed as a special four-part event.

"Billie, still reeling from losing Alex at the end of season 2, discovers that the only way to rescue her mother is to reunite with her long-lost father," according to an official description from Disney. "As her family bands together to find Alex, Billie realizes that their combined power is the only way the Russos can defeat the evil plaguing them."

Natalie Portman pregnant, expecting baby #3 at age 44

Natalie Portman is expecting a third child.

The Oscar-winning actress, 44, revealed the news in an exclusive interview with Harper's Bazaar published on Friday. It's her first baby with her partner, French music producer Tanguy Destable.

"Tanguy and I are very excited," she said. "I'm just very grateful. I know it's such a privilege and a miracle."

Portman, who didn't share specific details about her pregnancy, acknowledged the challenges people may face with pregnancy and trying to conceive.

"I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant," she said. "I have so many people I love who've had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It's such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it's also not an easy thing."

She continued, "And so I know how lucky it is. I'm very aware, and I'm very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude."

Giving birth later in life is a growing reality in the United States.

According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from 1990 to 2023, birth rates have declined among women in their 20s and increased among women in older age groups.

Compared to birth rates in 1990, the birth rate increased 71% among women ages 35–39 (from 31.7 to 54.3), 127% (from 5.5 to 12.5) among women ages 40–44 and 450% (from 0.2 to 1.1) among women 45 and older in 2023.

Meanwhile, birth rates remain highest among women in their 20s but have declined 51% among women 20-24 years old (from 116.5 to 57.7) and 24% among women 25 to 29 years old (from 120.2 to 91.0) over that timeframe, CDC data shows.

At age 44, Portman is nearly a decade past the age — 35 — that doctors consider women to be of "advanced maternal age."

While many women over 35 years old have healthy babies and pregnancies, there are risks for the mother and baby that increase with maternal age, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Portman shared that she has "more energy" than she expected, and said that she is swimming and doing gyrotonics to stay active.

Portman is also the mom to son Aleph Millepied, 14, and daughter Amalia Millepied, 9, whom she shares with ex-husband, Benjamin Millepied.

Jill Biden bid $35,000 for a chance to guest star on 'Heated Rivalry,' but lost out

If Dr. Jill Biden guest-starring on season two of Heated Rivalry was somehow on your bucket list, we have unfortunate news for you.

In a surprise appearance at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center's annual Center Dinner on Thursday night, the former first lady "raised her paddle at $35,000 but was quickly outbid," according to a press release from the organization.

The Center added in a press release that the "intense bidding war" led Heated Rivalry producers Jacob Tierney and Brendan Brady to add "two walk-on roles for the top bidder at $125,000, each, resulting in a $250,000 donation to The Center."

Biden cheekily posted about her losing bid on social media, saying: "Guess I won't be heading to the cottage after all—but it was worth a shot! What a wonderful evening supporting @LGBTCenterNYC."

At the beginning of the event, the former first lady was welcomed with a standing ovation by the audience for the work her and her husband, former President Joe Biden, have done for the LGBTQ+ community.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, also known as The Center, was established in 1983 at the height of the AIDS crisis to "provide a safe and affirming place for LGBTQ+ New Yorkers to respond to the urgent threats facing the community."

Thursday’s event went on to raise over $2 million to support their work, the organization said.

The annual dinner celebrated LGBTQ+ community icons and allies who have had an impact on the community. Brady and Tierney were honored, as well as Brooks Brothers Brand CEO Ken Ohashi and Gilead Sciences.

The event was attended by RuPaul's Drag Race season 18 finalists Darlene Mitchell, Myki Meeks and Nini Coco, and singer Melanie C delivered a performance that had "everyone on their feet," according to the press release.
