Emmys milestones: Kathy Bates makes history, Harrison Ford gets his due
Marquee names and shows alike have milestones to celebrate after Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song announced the nominees on Tuesday for the Sept. 14 ceremony hosted by Nate Bargatze.
Below, a roundup of milestones in the latest crop of contenders:
Kathy Bates makes history as the oldest performer nominated for Lead Actress in a Drama
Kathy Bates, a 15-time Emmy nominee and two-time winner, is certainly no stranger to awards, among them an Oscar win for 1990's 'Misery' and three subsequent nods from 1999 to 2020.
But it's the role of Madeline 'Matty' Matlock in the CBS series 'Matlock' — not to be confused with the original Andy Griffith-led legal drama, though it's referenced in the remake — that snagged Bates her first Emmy nomination in nearly a decade, and at 77 years old.
Bates, last nominated in 2016 for 'American Horror Story: Hotel,' now takes the title of the oldest lead drama actress nominee from the late Angela Lansbury, who was nominated at age 70 for 'Murder, She Wrote,' Variety reports.
'The Studio' is doing double time with record-breaking nominations
Apple TV+'s 'The Studio,' starring Seth Rogen as the new head of a Hollywood studio, is tapped for 23 nominations total, making it the most-nominated freshman comedy series, according to Variety.
That crown was previously worn by the streamer's 'Ted Lasso' and the 20 nominations it earned from its first season.
'The Studio' is also now tied with FX and Hulu's 'The Bear' for the most-nominated comedy.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z will face off
Husband and wife collaborators-turned-competitors Beyoncé and Jay-Z are both up for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).
The former is tapped as both executive producer and performer for Netflix's 'Beyoncé Bowl,' her Christmas Day NFL halftime show, while the latter is nominated for executive producing Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
Beyoncé also helmed 'Beyoncé Bowl,' for which she scored a nod for Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special.
Harrison Ford earns his first Emmy nomination
Harrison Ford may have conquered space, androids and temples of doom, but the Emmys have remained an untapped frontier until now.
Just two days after ringing in his 83rd birthday, Ford, who currently stars in the 'Yellowstone' spinoff '1923,' was tapped for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his work as Paul in 'Shrinking,' another Apple TV+ offering.
Other first-time Emmy nominees include 'Severance' breakouts Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry and Britt Lower; 'Nobody Wants This' stars Kristen Bell and Adam Brody; and Academy Award-winning filmmakers Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard, as well as Zoë Kravitz and Anthony Mackie, who all appeared as themselves in 'The Studio.'

Selena Gomez's Latest Hair Transformation Is All About '90s Long Layers—and It's Perfect for Round Faces
Selena Gomez has went viral more than once for her hair transformations: A '90s bob haircut revival that mirrored the look that made model Christy Turlington famous, a brief recent dalliance with a wolf cut and bangs. In recent appearances, she's been back to wearing her dark brunette long and one-length, in loose relaxed waves or in a bouncy blowout. Given this summer's high temperates and constant threat of a humidity frizz fest, it's no wonder that celebrity after celebrity is joining team bob and pixie cut: From Gracie Abrams to Emma Stone and Simone Biles. While this cut definitely offers the easy, breezy sensibilities needed to survive the summer while still looking chic, there is another nostalgic alternative you can ask for at the salon—one that's without sacrificing too many inches from your lengths. Selena Gomez and her trusted hairstylist Marissa Marino have the blueprint to bring to your next hair appointment. Enter: the '90s long layered haircut. Photo: Instagram (@ When this cut first gained popularity, it was somewhat of an art form: long layers perfectly highlighted, worked up with a round brush to create volume at the roots for movement and lightness. Think about Cindy Crawford, and you've got the vibe. In charge of bringing Selena Gomez's haircut to life was Marino, who has been working with the pop star, actor, and Rare Beauty mogul for years. No matter what texture or shape she chooses to wear her hair in, from curly locks to a chopped retro bob, Marino crafts Gomez's hair to match her refined, ladylike style. How to get Selena Gomez's '90s long layers For Summer 2025, Gomez is going for this flirty, sensual '90s style—with some more contemporary modifications. Hair stylist Francisco Iglesias, who runs Francisco Iglesias Salon & Skin Care Institute in Lomas de Chapultepec and Altavista, Mexico City, offers Vogue some recommendations for how you should ask for Gomez's lightly layered haircut when you're next in the salon chair. In terms of overall length, your hair should reach below the shoulders, coming close to the bust. Then you should request some long layers to give movement and volume, but avoid layers that are too short, to take weight off the ends. The look then comes together with slightly shorter front layers framing the face, two centimeters below the jaw. And to conclude the cut, some slightly textured front tips: not completely straight, but worked with scissors for a softer, more natural finish.

Selena Gomez Tests Out the Suit and Sandal Combo for a Summer Date Night
Dressing up for summer in high heats and the arid Cali climate can be a bit of a tough one. Selena Gomez appears to have cracked the code. On Sunday (July 13), the pop star and Rare Beauty founder stepped out for date night at—where else?—celebrity hotspot Giorgio Baldi with fiancé Benny Blanco. If reports are to be believed, there's a lot of planning toward a rumored Montecito-set wedding—why not start over some red sauce? Regardless, for the occasion (eating cheesy ravioli with her love on a hot California night), Gomez opted for a sleek suit and sandal combo, giving a little bit of subversion to her usual ladylike and refined sense of style. Gomez wore for a tailored black suit, wearing a bateau neck black top underneath a black blazer, with matching suit pants that feature an ever-so-slight kick flare. On her feet, a pair of black Proenza Schouler cable thong sandals. She accessorized with—of course—her marquise diamond engagement ring, and added the fringed black Paloma bag from one of her favorite brands, Ulla Johnson. Glam stayed tested and true, wearing her newly debuted long hair—the bangs didn't last long—in soft natural waves, with a set of soapy pink nails, and a petal rose lip. Husband-to-be Benny Blanco kept to his own sartorial rhythm: the super producer wore a loose white and yellow floral shirt with camel colored pants, going sockless in brown leather loafers with gold hardware, and stacking gold chain necklaces.

‘American Idol' exec moved to LA neighborhood 'to be safe' before double homicide: family friend
ENCINO, Calif. – "American Idol" executive Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were found dead inside their Los Angeles mansion on Monday — a property with a dark past and a recent history of break-ins. The couple "moved to Encino because they wanted to be safe" and had no known enemies, a close family friend told Fox News Digital. During an emotional interview, their longtime friend — who asked to remain unnamed — explained that just weeks before their murder, the couple's home was broken into. Kaye and Deluca increased their security, hoping to prevent it from happening again. "They added spikes to the top of the fence… They had spikes on the other side of the fence, and obviously updated their video surveillance as well. They had video surveillance already." When Fox News Digital asked what Kaye and Deluca had previously said about the first break-in attempt, the friend said they suspected the person wouldn't "be back" after they ramped up their security. "Their dog woke them up in the middle of the night... That's what ran them off. I think they actually broke a glass… but I think they said they broke a glass and the dog started barking, and the people ran off." "They wanted to be safe… They added spikes to the top of the fence… and obviously updated their video surveillance as well." He added that the couple were "two of the nicest people you'll ever meet." WATCH: 'AMERICAN IDOL' EXEC MOVED TO NEIGHBORHOOD 'TO BE SAFE' BEFORE DOUBLE HOMICIDE, FAMILY FRIEND SAYS "Nothing negative about them whatsoever," the close family friend described the couple. He shared that he spoke with Kaye and Deluca nearly a week before their harrowing double homicide. The family friend told Fox News Digital of fond memories of the couple, and spoke of how talented they were. "They were living life to the fullest. They travel a lot. They have some great animals. They have a dog. They have an amazing bird that does tricks. They have a turtle that they found at their first house they bought when they moved to LA, and they've taken their turtle with them every place," he said. "Very talented people too. Robin has excelled in her job. Tom's a great songwriter, producer in his own right. And they're just really wonderful people." The Los Angeles mansion, which the couple purchased in 2023, previously belonged to rapper Juice WRLD. WATCH: LAPD LIEUTENANT GUY GOLAN SAYS THE MOTIVE IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN AFTER ROBIN KAYE AND HER HUSBAND WERE FOUND MURDERED IN THEIR LA HOME The rapper died of an accidental overdose in 2019 after reportedly ingesting Percocet pills in an attempt to hide them, while federal agents searched his private jet at a Chicago airport. After his death, the Encino property was rented out before eventually being sold to Kaye and Deluca in 2023. Their deaths come amid a troubling string of high-profile break-ins in the area. In May, actor Anthony Anderson's home — also in Encino — was broken into by three men while he attended a charity fundraiser in Palm Springs. Police said at the time no arrests had been made in connection to that case, according to ABC News. Last August, another family in Encino fell victim to the wave of burglaries sweeping through the San Fernando Valley. Investigators said at the time that there were at least 15 break-ins in the area over the past month, according to FOX 11. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department is continuing their investigation into the harrowing murders of Kaye and Deluca. LAPD Lieutenant Guy Golan provided an update to Fox News Digital on the next steps in the investigation after the suspect, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, was arrested for double homicide — crimes that at this point in the investigation appear to be random. "He was arrested from his place of residence. Over near the 19,000 block of Van Owen Street. He was arrested without incident," Golan told Fox News Digital. "He did not provide any statements at this time, and investigators plan on filing charges for murder against him." At the home of the murder suspect, a family spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "Sorry for everything that has happened. And sorry for the couple that lost their lives." Golan explained that his team is now putting the case together to present it to the district attorney's office for further consideration, but at this time, "there's no motive." He pointed out that the suspect was identified through surveillance video, as well as forensic evidence that was at the scene that police had "expedited analysis" on. WATCH: SECUREIT HOMES TECHNICIAN DETAILS WHAT WAS INCLUDED IN AN ESTIMATE FOR ROBIN KAYE AND TOM DELUCA'S HOME LAPD officials said the double homicide of Kaye and Deluca, who were found with multiple gunshot wounds, appeared to be a random act of violence. Kaye and Deluca, were found dead inside their home after officers responded to a call around 2:30 p.m. on July 14 for a welfare check in the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue in Encino. Both victims were 70. It is believed the murders may have occurred on July 10 after the investigation revealed the LAPD had received two calls that day reporting a possible burglary suspect at the house around 4 p.m., according to police.
