'Tony and Ziva' trailer has Michael Weatherly, Cote de Pable on 'NCIS'
The first "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" teaser drops with views of reunited Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo running for their lives in style and in Europe.
There are official corporate announcements of TV show premieres, and then there's Michael Weatherly's way.
Weatherly, 56, seems to have forgotten his shirt when posting a video to his Instagram account on June 17, to declare when "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" will premiere on Paramount+, co-starring Cote de Pablo.
"There it is, I see it, it's coming Sept. 4," the unshaven Weatherly says to the camera with a cheeky smile during the informative yet nonsensical video.
Weatherly added in the comments, "It's like the fine wine people think of...age must be appropriate, and timing, the decanting and ultimately the perfect setting."
To be fair, a fully and nattily dressed Weatherly, along with de Pablo, posted a video on the Paramount+ Instagram account announcing the premiere date earlier on June 17. It was a Save the Date message that showed the actors back in full-banter form.
"That's my line, you always take my line," De Pablo lamented at one point.
When does 'NCIS: Tony and Ziva' return?
To quote Weatherly, "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" comes to Paramount+ on Sept. 4.
The first trailer shows Tony DiNozzo (Weatherly) and Ziva David (de Pablo) still have that perfect sizzle in the "NCIS" reunion series.
The couple briefly lives the dream in Paris, running their security firm while caring for their 12-year-old daughter, Tali (Isla Gie). But their happily ever after is blown apart, sending the family on the run throughout Europe in the action series.

‘Smurfs' Review: Rihanna and James Corden Lead All-Star Voice Cast in a Reboot That Chooses Chaos Over Charm
It's been eight years since the last theatrical Smurfs movie, and you know what that means. A whole new crop of very young children are primed to experience their favorite animated characters on the big screen. Unfortunately, what they're getting is Paramount's new reboot featuring the sort of ridiculously overstuffed big-name cast whose names will mean absolutely nothing to them but will provide some reassurance to their adult chaperones, who would no doubt prefer to be watching the new I Know What You Did Last Summer at the adjoining multiplex theater. Not-so-imaginatively titled Smurfs, this latest incarnation represents the sort of charmless, wildly chaotic animated effort that has the unintended effect of reminding us why cutting publicly funded children's television is such a terrible idea. It's directed by Chris Miller (Puss in Boots, Shrek the Third), who also voices Grouchy Smurf. Watching the movie makes it easy to understand why he chose that character. More from The Hollywood Reporter Rise of the Machines: Inside Hollywood's AI Civil War 'Smurfs' Is a Rihanna Passion Project: "She Was Pursuing It" 'Poker Face' Boss Rian Johnson Delighted in That Finale Cliffhanger Tease: "Peacock Was a Little Nervous" The screenplay is by Pam Brady, who previously wrote such subversive animated efforts as South Park: Bigger, Long & Uncut and Team America: World Police, providing some hope that maybe this is all some big put-on. That's sadly not the case — instead, we get the sort of generic storyline in which evil wizards are once again intent on world domination, in this case by kidnapping Papa Smurf (John Goodman) in an attempt to procure a magic book that will help them achieve their ends. (At least I think that's what the story was. It seemed mostly incomprehensible to me, and asking the seven-year-old sitting nearby to explain it might have come across as creepy.) Anyway, it's up to Smurfette (voiced by Rihanna) to lead her fellow Smurfs in a mission to save their patriarch. Among them is No Name, who's suffering an identity crisis because, unlike such fellow Smurfs as Hefty Smurf (Alex Winter), Worry Smurf (Billie Lourd) and Vanity Smurf (Maya Erskine), he doesn't have a 'thing.' He's voiced by James Corden, and for those of you desperately missing Carpool Karaoke, rest assured that you get to hear Corden crooning a power ballad. Yes, this is one of those animated movies in which the characters periodically break into song, and sometimes even elaborate dance numbers. None of the songs, not even Rihanna's 'Friend of Mine,' proves particularly memorable. But there are certainly enough of them to fill the inevitable soundtrack album. The Smurfs' mission launches them into the real world, including such locations as Paris, the Australian Outback, and Munich, which only serve as unpleasant reminders of Sony's previous, misbegotten animated/live-action hybrids. The Australian section features a musical number showcasing CGI kangaroos, which even one of the characters aptly describes as 'weird.' It also serves to introduce us to the Snooterpoots — small, feathered, Minion-like creatures who will definitely be showing up at a toy store near you. Their leader, Mama Poot, is voiced by Natasha Lyonne, who uses her distinct gravelly voice to good comic effect. The Smurfs also venture into alternate universes, as if we didn't already get enough of that nonsense from the MCU. Weirdly, there's a lot of sibling stuff going on in the movie. The villains are brother evil wizards Razamel and Gargamel (both played by JP Karliak), who have serious rivalry issues. And Papa Smurf has not one but two brothers, Ken (the ever-reliable Nick Offerman) and long-lost Ron (Kurt Russell), who, needless to say, reappears by the story's end. It was telling that at a preview screening packed with young children, there was nary a laugh to be heard despite the film featuring one would-be joke after another. The sole exception was when one of the Smurfs referred to himself as 'kick-ass,' with the profanity bleeped out, which the kids found absolutely hilarious. If you look at the credits box accompanying this review, you'll see that the cast also includes such ringers as Amy Sedaris, Sandra Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham and Daniel Levy, among others. Few of them make any impression whatsoever, but it's comforting to know that already overpaid stars are getting big bucks to sit in recording booths for a couple of days while reading from scripts.

Democrats fawn over Stephen Colbert for holding 'truth to power' after CBS cancels show
Top Democrats fawned over late-night host Stephen Colbert after news broke that his long-running late-night program would be canceled in 2026. "Thank you Stephen Colbert for your willingness to speak truth to power. Staying far from timid. And never bending the knee to a wannabe king," House Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote on X. CBS announced on Thursday that the network will cancel "The Late Show" in 2026, insisting it's a "financial decision" and has nothing to do with a looming ownership change. Gov. Tim Walz, former Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 running mate, also praised Colbert for telling "truth to power." Several Democrats posted photos alongside Colbert, either on the show or in public. "Stephen Colbert is the best in the business. He always told truth to power and pulled no punches. We need more of that, not less," Walz wrote. CBS said it was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," adding, "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount." Failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams also applauded Colbert on social media, posting photos from her several appearances on the show. "If you refuse to see what is happening, the cancellation of the Colbert show should open your eyes. I want to explain to you what a censorship state looks like - where a corrupt government gives favors to media that suppresses criticism of the regime," Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., called Colbert an "extraordinary talent," and argued the cancellation of his show was not a coincidence, because the liberal late-night host had slammed Paramount's decision to settle with Trump. "CBS's billionaire owners pay Trump $16 million to settle a bogus lawsuit while trying to sell the network to Skydance. Stephen Colbert, an extraordinary talent and the most popular late night host, slams the deal. Days later, he's fired. Do I think this is a coincidence? NO," the progressive senator wrote. Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Adam Schiff, D-Calif., both argued the public deserved to know if his show was canceled for "political reasons." "The Late Show," which Colbert took over from David Letterman in 2015, leaned into liberal politics in the Trump era and had become a major platform for Democratic politicians. Last month, Colbert welcomed New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani before the socialist hopeful clinched the Democratic nomination. Schiff, who was Colbert's Thursday night guest, reacted on X, "If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better."

Maddie, a Coonhound Who Awed Instagram by Balancing on Things, Dies at 14
Around 2011, burned out from his corporate photography job, Theron Humphrey hatched an idea to travel the country, interview people and take their portraits in all 50 states. He quit his job, crowdfunded $16,000 and prepared to hit the road for a year in his 1994 Toyota pickup truck. But there was one thing missing from his travel plans: a dog. Mr. Humphrey, who was 28 at the time, had never owned a dog, but growing up in the South, hounds were always around. He typed 'coonhound' into an online registry of adoptable pets, and an image of a caramel and white spotted dog with squinty eyes was the first result. 'I was like, 'Oh my gosh. She looks like a little deer.' I loved her speckles,' said Mr. Humphrey, who is now 42. 'That same day, I drove to the animal shelter, and I went to see her, and I left with a dog. I had no idea what I was doing.' In the years that followed, Mr. Humphrey crisscrossed the country and snapped tens of thousands of photos of Maddie, the coonhound he adopted that day. The pair traveled to 48 states, published two photography books and amassed more than 1.2 million Instagram followers along the way. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
