'Supernatural' Star Was Nearly Cast as Superman
'Supernatural' Star Was Nearly Cast as Superman originally appeared on Parade. Actor Jensen Ackles, best known for his roles in Supernatural and The Boys, is opening up about his decades-long career in the entertainment industry. While speaking to Collider for a June 25 interview, Ackles shared he was nearly cast as Clark Kent, AKA Superman, for the teen drama Smallville, which ran for 10 seasons until 2011. Ultimately, the iconic role went to Tom Welling. 'I would shock you if I told you how many jobs I didn't get compared to the ones I did get," said Ackles to the publication. 'I never felt discouraged by the ones that I didn't get. Again, this kind of goes back to lessons that I learned from the veterans. There was a multitude of people who told me that every audition, every meeting, every time you get into a room is a learning experience. So, even though you might not get the role, you learn from it. You try to make an impression on those people.' Ackles also noted that he was eventually cast as Clark's high school football coach, Jason Teague, during the show's 4th season. 'They brought me in after [Smallville] Season 3 and said, 'We've been trying to think of a way to incorporate you into the show, and we're just thankful you're still available,'" said Ackles during the interview. Welling spoke about Ackles nearly being cast as Clark during a July 2022 episode of his podcast, Talk Ville. "It was me and Jensen [for Clark]. I remember going in for the actual audition. I went in and there was a wonderfully handsome guy. And I was like, 'I think this guy is a real actor.' It was Jensen. Who ended up being Clark's football coach," said Welling on his podcast. While recording a March 2024 interview on the Talk Ville podcast, Kristin Kreuk, who played Lana Lang, spoke about being Ackles' on-screen love interest during Smallville Season 4. "It was so fun. I was watching it now and Jensen has such an easy kind of chill, like, he's just so cool. And so his performances are really free and natural. And I think that was nice for me to engage with," said the actress.

Detroit Pistons' Malik Beasley Reportedly Subject of Federal Gambling Investigation
Detroit Pistons star Malik Beasley is reportedly the subject of a new gambling investigation regarding NBA game bets. News broke on Sunday, June 29, that the U.S. district attorney's office was looking into Beasley, 28, on allegations of gambling. ESPN, who broke the news, reported that prominent betting sites detected unusually heavy interest in Beasley's statistics in 2024. Advertisement Beasley's lawyer swiftly addressed the accusations, asserting that the guard has not yet been charged with a crime. 'An investigation is not a charge,' Beasley's attorney, Steve Haney, told ESPN in a statement. 'Malik is afforded the same right of the presumption of innocence as anyone else under the U.S. Constitution. As of now, he has not been charged with anything.' Detroit Pistons Star Malik Beasley's Wife Montana Yao Files for Separation Before 5th Anniversary Us Weekly has reached out for comment. Beasley, who previously played basketball with the Milwaukee Bucks, signed with the Pistons in June 2024. Both the Pistons and the NBA as a whole have pledged to cooperate with the investigation. Advertisement 'We are cooperating with the federal prosecutors' investigation,' NBA spokesperson Mike Bass told NBC Sports in a statement. Beasley was previously arrested in 2020 for a felony weapons charge. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 120 days in jail with a three-year probation. The pro athlete served his sentence after the 2020-2021 NBA season, later receiving a 12-game suspension from the league. That same year, Beasley's then-wife, Montana Yao, filed for divorce after he was rumored to be dating Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen. (Beasley and Yao, now 27, share son Makai, who was born in 2019.)

'I was looking for more when it was right here that whole time. I'm telling the world and you that there's nobody like you for me.' He added, 'For the record, I was the one who ended my last relationship off the fact that there is no one like you. Also, for the record, I wanted to do my own 'cuz I just left u guys and I def ain't the type to set up pictures at the mall … that's some childish ish and I'm trying to grow individually and grow a family. I ain't looking to be judged. I'm looking for forgiveness. To forgive me for hurting my family the way I did.' Yao later withdrew her petition, only to file again in March of this year.

‘The Gilded Age' Creator Stresses 'The Luck Element' Of Marriage As Gladys Russell's Prospects Pick Up With Episode 2 Of Season 3
The Gilded Age. The second episode of The Gilded Age Season 3, titled 'What the Papers Say,' dives deeper into the somewhat concepts of arranged marriage after introducing divorce in the first episode. More from Deadline 'The Gilded Age' Cast Throughout The Seasons Of The Period Drama 'The Gilded Age' Season 3 Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out? 'The Gilded Age' Hits Premiere High Viewership With Season 3 Return On HBO Those who tuned in for the Season 3 premiere last weekend will remember that Taissa Farmiga's Gladys Russell ran away from home in the middle of the night as a rebellious response to her mother Bertha's rumored arranging for The Duke of Buckingham to come back to their mansion. It turns out she ran away to the home of her latest suitor Billy Carlton (Matt Walker) and his mother Joan (Victoria Clark). 'For every generation, marriage is a crapshoot. Nowadays, we see much more of each other than they did in the 19th century. We live together more, and we sleep together, and we do all of these things, but at the end, you don't really know the person you've married until you married them,' series creator Julian Fellowes told Deadline. 'The modern world always likes to pretend that it deals with everything better than any previous generation, but you can't take the luck element out of marriage.' This season, Bertha has her eyes on the prize of an esteemed husband for her daughter, and not just anyone will do. Even though Gladys claims she loves Billy Carlton, a suitor she covertly met up with at the opera thanks to the secrecy of Mrs. Fish and Gladys' brother Larry Russell (Harry Richardson), Bertha firmly rejects him as a potential husband for Gladys. When Mr. George Russell (Morgan Spector) comes home from Morenci, Arizona where he is tending to railroad business, he is greeted with a heated discussion between mother, daughter and son about Gladys' lack of agency in who she can marry. The railroad tycoon feels a bit more conflicted about where Gladys' life could be headed, because he did promise her that she could marry for love. Those who have watched the period drama since Season 1 may remember that Gladys also had high hopes for Tom Blyth's Archie Baldwin, one of her suitors before she was even out in society, but it was her father who turned down the young man at the time through a twisted job offer to bribe him. 'I mean, arranged marriages were the norm in this period, and I mean even today, there are still places where people have arranged marriages, sometimes they work out,' Spector told Deadline. 'People do fall in love with each other. Some of those marriages really last. Some of them are very happy. It's not impossible that there can be joy and real fulfillment in those relationships.' Even after Billy attempted to approach Mr. Russell to ask his blessing for a proposal to Gladys and he chickens out at the Young Women's Christian Association benefit — hosted by Aurora Fayne (Kelli O'Hara) and her husband Charles who is desperate for a divorce, George states to his wife that the young man didn't get a chance to present his argument. Bertha doubles down on her desire for her daughter's future to be one of empowerment, influence and high status. 'A lot of the world still operates on the basis of arranged marriages. We always feel superior about that, but it's not safe to feel superior about anything. I think that some aspects of it work better and some don't, and that's life. We take life as it comes and we take chances,' Fellowes said. 'The first few years [of marriage], you get to know your wife or your husband, and sometimes it comes as a pleasant surprise, as aspects of their personality are much more interesting than you'd realize. Other times, it's the reverse. I'm not sure there's any kind of insurance you can take out against that. I think that's how life is.' Unfortunately for Gladys, it looks as if her mother got what she wanted in a way because Billy showed up in the last minutes of Season 3 Episode 2 to call off their relationship and any potential engagement. With Hector, the Duke of Buckingham's return at the end of the third season's second episode — attorney in tow — only time will tell what path Gladys, still teary-eyed and looking like a deer in the headlights, ends up walking amidst the wishes of her mother. As Mr. Russell tells his daughter, he is just as surprised as she is at what this could signal.
