Why is Kim Kardashian getting top billing over Sarah Paulson in Ryan Murphy show?
'What the hell is going on?' a Hollywood insider asked. 'Kim Kardashian is getting top billing on a show that also stars Oscar-nominated actresses? How is this even possible?'

Indeed, Kardashian is the top-billed name over Oscar-nominated actresses Glenn Close and Naomi Watts. The other actresses, Sarah Paulson and Niecy Nash, are also veterans who one would expect to be higher on the credential list than Kardashian, known mostly for her work in reality shows and fashion, not acting.

Get the latest on everything from the political swamp maneuvering in D.C. and Hollywood drama to jaw-dropping small-town shenanigans from Paula Froelich.
To put the sting out of the slight, all veteran actresses as well as Kardashian are named as executive producers, but one reason Kardashian — who is said to be working on a law degree — may have gotten top billing is she is said to have brought the idea of an all-female divorce law firm to Murphy to begin with.
Murphy and Kardashian became friendly after he hired her to act in 'American Horror Story: Delicate' several years ago.
But still, it is odd.
'I am in shock that [the veteran actresses' agents] would allow this to happen,' my insider said.

2025 Emmy Award Nominations Unveiled, The Studio & Severance Take the Lead
The Television Academy has finally unveiled the full list of nominees for its upcoming 77th annual Primetime Emmy Award ceremony. The live announcement was hosted by actors Harvey Guillén and Brenda Song. The comedy category was dominated by Seth Rogen's new Apple TV+ series The Studio, which is now tied with The Bear's 2024 record for receiving the most nominations in a single year with 23. Meanwhile, Adam Scott's Severance series is leading the drama category with 27 nominations. According to the Television Academy, the 2025 nominations was the result of the largest voting member turnout in the history of the Emmys. In addition, superhero shows from both DC Studios and Marvel Studios were also recognized by the Academy. HBO Max's The Penguin series is leading this year's Limited or Anthology series category by scoring 24 nominations, including Lead Actor for Colin Farrell, Lead Actress for Cristin Milioti, and Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series. Unlike its predecessor WandaVision, Marvel Studios' Agatha All Along show was snubbed in all of the major acting categories. However, it still managed to garner three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics, Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costumes, and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour). Who are the 2025 Emmy Award nominees? Hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, the 77th Emmy Awards will be broadcast live Sunday, Sept. 14, (8:00-11:00 PM EDT/5:00-8:00 PM PDT) on CBS.

Why Rob Kardashian Stepped Away From Family TV Show
Rob, who had his own spinoff, Rob & Chyna, was a mainstay on the family's show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, until Season 13, and has been largely absent from public life ever since. Rob Kardashian is getting real about his reality TV hiatus. The 38-year-old, who famously stepped away from Keeping Up With the Kardashians after Season 13, called in to the July 16 episode of his sister Khloé Kardashian's podcast, Khloé in Wonderland, and opened up about why he prefers to stay out of the spotlight. "I don't wanna be filming and putting myself in a position where I'm not comfortable," Rob told his sister Khloé over the phone. "I'm not comfortable in my skin, so why would I want to go be on camera and just be vulnerable and let people in when that's not what I want to do?" Rob, who is a dad to 8-year-old Dream, whom he shares with ex Blac Chyna, has made a few cameos on The Kardashians on Hulu, however, he's mostly absent from the family's reality TV presence since his spinoff series, Rob & Chyna, aired in 2016. Despite the distance, Rob made it clear he's very much a part of the family -- just off camera. "There's definitely nothing wrong between any of us," he insisted. "It just has everything to do with myself." Still, he hasn't completely ruled out a return to reality TV. "I love filming if it's positive and natural and I'm feeling good about myself," Rob added. "I like being around my family so that stuff is good to me." Elsewhere in the interview, Rob got candid about his dating life, telling big sister Khloé he hasn't been in a serious relationship since his daughter was born. "I've been single -- she's 8 years old -- I've been single for 8 years, since she [was] born," Rob shared before detailing his dating style. "I definitely talk to people. I just... I'm not out here going on dates. Sometimes I do, but I really prefer not to. I prefer none of that." He continued, "Of course, I've dated and stuff, but I've never gotten serious or wanted to. My energy is just into Dream." While the proud father of one admitted he should probably have more "fun" and enjoy his life, Rob said he just doesn't "care to be dating somebody." "Unless it just happens. It just hasn't," he added. Solve the daily Crossword

‘Tron Ares' Trailer: A.I. Runs Amok In An Allegory For Our Times; New Nine Inch Nails Single Drops
Ahead of the movie's big splash at San Diego Comic-Con next week in Hall H, Disney has dropped the official trailer to Tron Ares, their reboot of the classic 1980s live-action, trapped-in-a-videogame movie. But consider the Joachim Rønning directed movie, an allegory for current days. More from Deadline Nine Inch Nails Announces 2025 Tour Dates Here's Everything We Learned At D23 2024: New Film Announcements And More Nine Inch Nails Are Taking On The Score To 'Tron: Ares' 'So much talk of A.I. and big tech today,' exclaims Evan Peters' Julian Dillinger, a corporate type who doesn't seem to have a hippie agenda. 'Virtual worlds, what are they going to look like? When will we get there?' he asks in the trailer, 'They are coming here.' That kingdom come is in the form of an ultimate soldier, that being Ares (Oscar winner Jared Leto), who has come to Earth all ablaze in red neon lights, and the floating upside-down 'U' Tron-thingy; these shooting lasers are splicing this and that and forming all sorts of light-cycle pathways. Seriously, this looks like a lotta fun and we're hoping that the laser light show in Hall H tops that shown in Disney's CinemaCon presentation. Along for the ride, living in the spiritual matrix is Jeff Bridges' Kevin Flynn, the original computer programmer protag who got stuck in the videogame in the original Tron. A new poster dropped today. In addition, Grammy-award winning rock band Nine Inch Nails, who composed the score for the movie, dropped a new single from the pic, 'As Alive As You Need Me To Be' along with an official music video. It's the group' first music in five years. Best of Deadline Everything We Know About 'Stranger Things' Season 5 So Far 2025 TV Series Renewals: Photo Gallery 2025 TV Cancellations: Photo Gallery
