Wednesday, April 8

Good afternoon Wypierdalaj,

Below are the latest entertainment news stories.

Tori Spelling is feeling “grateful” after the “Beverly Hills, 90210” star and four of her children were involved in a serious car crash in California earlier this month.

“We are so grateful and so lucky, because it could have been so much worse,” Spelling said in a Tuesday Instagram video, adding that the last few days have been “overwhelming.”

The Riverside County Sheriff’s Office previously told NBC News the April 2 crash occurred after another driver allegedly ran a red light while speeding and hit Spelling’s car.

Matt Damon, Will Ferrell and Paul McCartney will help close out the “Saturday Night Live” season, along with a double dose of Olivia Rodrigo.

Rodrigo will do double duty as host and musical guest on May 2, marking her hosting debut and third time as musical guest, ahead of her new album, “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.”

Damon, promoting Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” will host the following week for the third time on May 9. Noah Kahan will perform as that show’s musical guest, for the second time.

A live‑TV slip from Craig Melvin left the “TODAY” studio buzzing Wednesday morning. 

During the April 8 broadcast, the anchor unexpectedly revealed that Jenna Bush Hager will appear in “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” a detail that clearly wasn’t meant to be shared just yet. 

While the co-hosts were discussing the excitement around the upcoming sequel, Melvin casually dropped, “By the way, you know how that movie’s going to be good? You know how I can tell? JBH is in it!”

As the stars of “Charlie’s Angels” mark the show’s 50th anniversary, the three cast members are finding common ground in the TV series’ influence on pop culture and a health battle they’ve all encountered.

Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd reunited on April 6 at the Paley Center’s PaleyFest LA panel to speak about the lasting legacy of the 1970s TV show “Charlie’s Angels.” They also paid tribute to the late Farrah Fawcett, who appeared as one of the main characters in the first season of the series.

During an interview with the trio that aired on TODAY April 7, Maria Shriver asked how their ongoing friendship has helped them face the challenging seasons of their lives.

Taylor Frankie Paul, a star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” can’t spend unsupervised time with her 2-year-old son due to concerns about volatile behavior she displayed during confrontations between her and the boy’s father, a Utah court commissioner ruled Tuesday.

Third District Court Commissioner Russell Minas said “I have concerns going both ways” about competing allegations between Dakota Mortensen and Paul, who was also set to star in the most recent season of “The Bachelorette” before it was pulled days before airing.

But, Minas said, “Even if he was trying to provoke a response, the actions that occurred are very troubling.”

Although iconic actress Meryl Streep is about to show the world her steely glare as Miranda Priestly in the sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” she shows her grandchildren her softer side.

In an interview with director Greta Gerwig and Anna Wintour in the April 7 issue of Vogue, Gerwig called Streep an “incredibly involved” grandmother.

“Some say over-involved,” Streep interjected.
