Less than a day after being arrested for allegedly assaulting a UCLA football coach with a kettlebell, Sean "Diddy" Combs is breaking his silence.

"We are confident that once the true facts are revealed, the case will be dismissed." Combs was booked yesterday evening on a felony charge at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Inmate Reception Center and his bail was set at $160,000, according to his booking »

Ratings: ‘Family Feud’ Tops All of Syndication for First Time
16 minutes ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
In an especially good week for its host Steve Harvey, “Family Feud” has ascended to the No. 1 spot on the syndication ratings chart for the first time.
Nielsen estimates for the week of June 8-12 show that “Feud,” produced by FremantleNorth America and distributed by Debmar-Mercury, averaged a 6.1 household rating to edge out longtime gameshow leaders “Wheel of Fortune” (6.0) and “Jeopardy” (5.9). The Nielsen survey said “Feud” was up a big 33% vs. the same week a year ago (4.5).
“Family Feud” had tied “Jeopardy” once before, but last week marked the first time since the advent of Nielsen People-Meters in 1987 that it had caught or surpassed “Wheel of Fortune” as the most-popular gameshow in syndication. And it also had to fend off “Judge Judy” (6.0), as the long-running court show typically stands as No. 1 overall in the household ratings derby.
“Family Feud” continues to dominate among syndicated originals in key demo categories, with »

Uh, There Was a Mock Wake on The Bachelorette
26 minutes ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Is there a point at which The Bachelorette franchise becomes so unmoored from reality that it eventually ascends to the heavens, like a cheerful blimp in a Studio Ghibli movie? We are approaching that point! Each week, a notch closer. Much has been made of Monday night's scandalous sex between consenting adults, but that ignores what was truly surprising and completely bizarre: They had a mock-wake, while Kaitlyn laid in a coffin and the dudes took turns giving eulogies. "Kaitlyn is dead … for today," host Chris Harrison told the human hair gels competing for affection. They took the news well, even though last season one of the bachelors actually did die, and everyone played along like it was a really funny group-date activity. (Except for Ben, who got a little sad.)Something creepy is in the air this week, I guess, since there were faux eulogies on The Real Housewives »

‘Outlander’ Star Sam Heughan on Jamie’s Unlikely Journey and Tackling History in Season 2
30 minutes ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Spoiler warning: This interview contains plot details for the entirety of “Outlander” season one.
The Emmy race for lead actor in a drama has long been the domain of tortured antiheroes and unrepentant villains, as if “good guys” can no longer be compelling enough to take home TV’s top prize. “Outlander” star Sam Heughan defies that assumption, portraying a character who is the epitome of traditional heroism — Jamie Fraser, a tall, dashing Highland swashbuckler — yet follows a trajectory rarely explored in any mainstream media: a romantic male lead who becomes the victim of brutal physical and sexual assault by a sadistic English army captain called Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies), subverting the traditional TV tropes of period pieces and historical fantasy, where female characters are raped as a seemingly “inevitable” consequence of the time.
In Starz’s “Outlander,” Jamie and his wife, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) are both equally capable, »

We don't know what we did to deserve this! But regardless, Google has finally answered our prayers and we couldn't be happier.

The option has actually been in the works at Google for over six years. Those lucky enough to use Gmail Labs have been enjoying the freedom of email recall for some time, so it's a pretty legendary move to make it available to the emailing masses. Now if »

Seriously, folks, we can't make this stuff up. Fox & Friends co-host Pete Hegseth is making headlines after a segment that aired during last Sunday's broadcast which sees the television personality toss an ax to tease a spot on timbersports...only to miss the target and hit marching band percussionist Jeff Prosperie in the background. Before we go any further: yes, the drummer is alive and well. In honor of flag day, the West Point Hellcats marching band played throughout the show, and Prosperie happened to be standing behind the bulls-eye, which was positioned on a large wooden board.

Watch: Maya Rudolph Nails Rachel Dolezal Impression on ‘Late Night’
35 minutes ago | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
For everyone lamenting the fact that “Saturday Night Live” is on hiatus while the Rachel Dolezal controversy rages on, Maya Rudolph has answered your wishes.
While visiting “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” Rudolph told her fellow “SNL” alum Meyers that she has, unsurprisingly, been approached for a Dolezal impression with the former NAACP leader in the spotlight — despite the fact that Rudolph left “SNL” as a cast member in 2007.
“When you leave ‘SNL,’ sometimes things will happen in the news and people will say, ‘Oh my God, it’s such a shame that you’re not there,’” Meyers said. “You have to have been getting this a lot lately.”
Don’t worry, though: Meyers provided Rudolph with a stage to do what she does best.
They watched on Dolezal’s extremely awkward interview in which a reporter asked her whether or not she was black, with Dolezal unable to answer. »
