From singing sensations to Hollywood flops, here's what's trending in entertainment today.
PRANKED YA!
A promo for TV host Nick Cannon's Who's Having My Baby game show is going viral. (Cannon is already the father of 12 children.) But is it too ridiculous to be true? Yup, it is. Posts about the faux game show were actually promotions for an upcoming series he'll be hosting with comedian Kevin Hart called Celebrity Prank Wars. It will premiere April 6 on E!
STAR WARS, INDEED

Star Wars projects from Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige and hot-shot director Patty Jenkins have been canned, according to a report from Variety. They were not your only hope, though, fans. Taika Waititi, the filmmaker behind Thor: Love and Thunder, is still reportedly working on a feature for the Star Wars universe that could hit theaters in December 2025.
ALL LACED UP AND NOWHERE TO GO
