Lionsgate & Universal's Michael Jackson Biopic ‘Michael' Moves To Pre-Summer 2026
Lionsgate and Universal's Michael Jackson biopic Michael is officially moving to Friday, April 24, 2026, and that's a global theatrical release. At the same time, we hear that a second movie about Jackson remains in development. More from Deadline 'Good Fortune' Trailer: Aziz Ansari Comedy With Keanu Reeves & Seth Rogen Headed For TIFF Ryan Fleck & Anna Boden's 'Freaky Tales' Sets HBO Max Premiere Date Lionsgate Marketing Heads JP Richards And Keri Moore Exiting Company We told you at CinemaCon there were distribution plans afoot for this on the Antoine Fuqua directed, Graham King produced feature. Michael will also get a release on Imax screens. The delay with Michael has been twofold, one being length — there was a first cut in excess of three and a half hours. There have also been reports that the initial cut of the movie made references to 13-year old Jordan Chandler, who accused Jackson of molestation, and who the pop singer settled with for $20M in 1994 with no admission of guilt. The Jackson estate explicitly wanted nothing about Chandler in the film, which led to more shoots on the production. Three-time Oscar nominee John Logan penned the screenplay. Jackson's nephew, Jaafar Jackson, plays the King of Pop. Currently, there aren't any major studio wide entries on April 24 next year, hence a great choice for Lionsgate. Michael will open in the wake of New Line/Blumhouse's Lee Cronin's The Mummy and Amazon MGM Studios/Miramax's Liam Neeson starring, Frankie Shaw directed 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank on April 17. Michael will also precede the May 1 release of 20th Century Studios' The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Warner Bros/Legenary's Animal Friends. This is the third time that Michael has moved. The pic's first release date was April 18, 2025 then Oct. 3, 2025. Oscar winner King's previous music biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, won four Oscars and grossed over $910M at the worldwide box office. Kino Films is releasing the movie in Japan while Universal has the rest of the world.

The Voice: Which Former Contestants Should Return for Season 29?
Fans of The Voice let out a collective chorus of 'Hmm' when the NBC sing-off revealed the changes being implemented for Season 29's Battle of Champions (which premieres in spring 2026). In particular, eyebrows were raised over the Knockouts round twist in which coaches Adam Levine, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson bring back two former contestants apiece to duke it out in what the show has dubbed an In-Season All-Star Competition to be judged by former coach CeeLo Green. On one hand, it seems unfair to the new contestants who will have made it to the Knockouts. They ran a gauntlet to get that far, only to then have to contend with past favorites. On the other hand, it's an intriguing proposition. Who among us doesn't have singers from past seasons that we'd love to see come back and win the whole shebang? I might not tune in for one coach over another, but you bet I'd make The Voice appointment TV to hear Team Legend's Katie Kadan again! More from TVLine Chicago P.D. Adds The Night Agent's Arienne Mandi as New Series Regular The Voice Season 29 Brings Back Three Veteran Coaches - and Ushers In a Remixed Format NBC Orders Stumble Cheerleading Comedy to Series - Jenn Lyon, Taran Killam Star Below, you'll find the singers from Legend, Levine and Clarkson's old rosters that I'd most like to see get a second chance. Check 'em out, then hit the comments with the past contestants that you most want to come back and try, try again. Amanda Brown (Team Adam Levine) The Season 3 standout's Playoffs cover of Aerosmith unequivocally told all future contestants that if they thought they could do better, ahem, dream on. (Listen to her rendition above.) (Team Kelly Clarkson) The quality of his voice was right there in this charismatic Season 23 contestant's name. Maybe the second time will be the charm for him? (Listen to 'Perfect' take on Ed Sheeran above.) Sarah Grace (Team Kelly Clarkson) Just a kid during Season 15, when she was axed in the Semifinals, Grace had the chops even then to go all the way; she just… well, didn't. (Marvel at her 'Amazing Grace'/'House of the Rising Sun' mash-up above.) Katie Kadan (Team John Legend) Though the Season 17 belter had a memorable look, enviable wit and an unforgettably resonant voice, she only scored a third-place finish. (Buckle up for her cover of Janis Joplin's 'Piece of My Heart' above.) Jershika Maple (Team John Legend) The term 'powerhouse' was all but coined to describe the Season 21 contestant whose soulful vocals should've landed her higher than fifth place. (Lend an ear as she slays Natalie Cole's 'Inseparable' above.) James Wolpert (Team Adam Levine) The alt-rocker left us intoxicated with his Playoffs cover of Joni Mitchell's classic 'A Case of You' but still got eliminated in Season 5's Semifinals.

Klay Thompson Reveals How Being ‘in Love' with Megan Thee Stallion Has Upped His Golf Game
Klay Thompson has become better in more ways than one since making things official with Megan Thee Stallion. The Dallas Mavericks shooting guard, 35, recently planned a date at a nine-hole golf course with Megan, 30, that was chronicled on her Instagram and TikTok pages on Wednesday, July 23. The video begins with the rapper explaining that he let her choose her outfit. The basketball player went to Academy Sports + Outdoors to purchase a couple of options, which included a pink athletic skirt and a lavender collared t-shirt, as well as a black athletic skirt with a white t-shirt. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! Megan ultimately chose the white shirt, paired with the pink skirt, while Thompson opted for black shorts, a baby blue collared t-shirt and a black hat that read "Protect your energy." After explaining that she had a meeting to attend before her date with Thompson, the video cut to a clip of the two riding in a golf cart driven by the NBA star. Thompson was then seen sitting on a bench while Megan pointed out fish in a lake. She then cuts to a closer look at her outfit as she tells Thompson, "You picked it? You think it's cute?" "Uh-huh. You even got the cute shoes on [and] the shirt. I did well," he says. "I'm really proud of myself." The two ultimately then start golfing, as Thompson jokes that he is Tiger Woods. After he hits a ball, the two go look for it to continue playing, and Thompson calls Megan his "good luck charm." Megan eventually attempts to hit a gold ball herself with Thompson guiding her every step of the way. The video ends with the two sharing a kiss, and Thompson declares that "ever since I've been in love, my golf game's reaped all the benefits." The couple first sparked romance rumors when Megan posted an Instagram photo with Thompson in the background in early July. On July 16, they made their red-carpet debut at the Inaugural Pete & Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.
