00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:23.359
of the top entertainment stories in today's
news. TJ Holmes and Amy Roback have

3
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:27.879
had a tumultuous year since their private
affair was made public by a major news

4
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.240
outlet, leading to their dismissal from
ABC's Good Morning America. In a recent

5
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:37.000
episode of their new iHeartRadio podcast,
Amy shared her intense emotions during her initial

6
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:41.960
visit to TJ's home after their relationship
became public knowledge in November twenty twenty two.

7
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:46.039
She described how she found TJ deeply
distressed and struggling to cope with the

8
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:50.799
situation. TJ candidly admitted to turning
to alcohol and cannabis edibles as a way

9
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.520
to manage his anguish during the scandal. The couple was removed from their TV

10
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.320
roles on December fifth after the exposure
of their affair and subsequent revelations about TJ's

11
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.799
relationships with other staff members of the
network. Following these events, they were

12
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:07.640
officially let go from the network on
January twenty seventh. In the candid conversation,

13
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.719
TJ revealed the extent of his distress
on the day the story broke,

14
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.920
he confessed to leaving work at eleven
AM and spending the rest of the day

15
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.400
in a haze of alcohol and edibles. Amy, taking over the narrative,

16
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.040
described the anxiety and fear she felt
when she couldn't reach TJ after receiving his

17
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:25.359
worrying messages. She eventually rushed to
his home, finding him incoherent and sprawled

18
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.920
on his bed, a moment that
deeply shook her but also brought relief when

19
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:33.640
she realized he was still alive.
Meanwhile, in a different sector of the

20
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.400
entertainment world, former TV chef Murrayo
Batali made a return to the public eye

21
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:42.120
with a cooking webinar titled Malto a
Casa, broadcasted from his new residence in

22
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.799
rural Michigan. Batali, who has
been away from the mainstream media following allegations

23
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:52.000
of sexual misconduct in twenty seventeen,
which he has continuously denied, used the

24
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.480
platform to express his disconnection from New
York City, his former home. He

25
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.439
spoke about his new life in a
small town in northern Michigan, surrounded by

26
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:05.000
a community like minded creatives, including
a significant shift in his lifestyle and professional

27
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:09.879
focus. In another notable development,
pop star Britney Spears experienced a significant personal

28
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:15.400
reunion. Her explosive memoile led to
a heartwarming reunion with her estranged mother Lynn.

29
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.199
The two were seen closing up together
in Los Angeles during Britney's forty second

30
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.439
birthday celebration. This event marks a
potential turning point in their relationship, with

31
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:27.719
plans for Brittany to visit her hometown
in Louisiana to further men ties with her

32
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.120
family. Sources close to the singer
suggested that the reconciliation was spurred by Lynn's

33
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:38.319
willingness to acknowledge and apologize for past
misunderstandings, catalyzed by the insights shared in

34
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.639
Britney's memoir. In the realm of
global recognition, Time magazine has unveiled its

35
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.319
shortlist for the prestigious Person of the
Year title. This year's contenders include a

36
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.280
diverse array of influential figures from various
sectors such as politics, entertainment, and

37
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:58.360
technology. The list features names like
Xi Jinping, tailor Swift, and Russian

38
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:05.159
President Vladimir Putin, indicating the magazine's

39
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.319
global affairs. The announcement of the
winner, the continuation of a tradition spanning

40
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:17.759
nearly a century, is highly anticipated
more entertainment in just a moment, Marvel

41
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:22.719
fans shouldn't be checking for Robert Downey
Junior to reprise his role as Tony Stark

42
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:28.199
in the Marvel Universe. Marvel Studios
president Kevin FaZe revealed in an interview with

43
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.280
Vanity Fair that despite reports otherwise,
there were no plans to resurrect the character

44
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:37.639
after Downey Junior's last appearance in the
twenty nineteen's Avengers Endgame. We are going

45
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:39.400
to keep that moment and not touch
that moment again, Fase, and we

46
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.960
all worked very hard for many years
to get to that, and we would

47
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.280
never want to magically undo it in
any way. Downey was hesitant to even

48
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.199
do reshoots for Endgame. According to
the film's co director Joe Russo, we

49
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.599
had already said tearful goodbyes on the
last day of shooting. Everybody had moved

50
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:58.479
on emotionally, Russo told Publication.
We promised him it would be the last

51
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.759
time we made him do it.
Ever, his brother Anthony Russo, who

52
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.919
directed Endgame, added that was a
difficult thing for him to do to come

53
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.840
back to pick up that line.
When he did come back, we were

54
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:12.400
shooting on a stage directly opposite where
he auditioned for Tony Stark. Anthony said,

55
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.319
so, his last line as Tony
Stark was shot literally a couple hundred

56
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.480
feet from his original audition that got
him the role. In other film news,

57
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.879
acclaimed actor Nicholas Cage, known for
his versatile roles in over one hundred

58
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.480
movies, expressed a design for a
new direction in his career. In a

59
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.040
recent interview, Cage shared his thoughts
on having explored the breadth of cinematic expression

60
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.360
and his interest in pursuing new challenges
in television. He spoke about the potential

61
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:41.519
for deeper character development and episodic television, signaling a potential shift in his illustrious

62
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.040
career. Actress Julia Roberts recently shared
her memories of former boyfriend, the late

63
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.480
Matthew Perry. In an emotional interview, she reflected on Perry's untimely passing,

64
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:57.040
emphasizing the importance of cherishing life and
maintaining positivity. Roberts fondly recalled their brief

65
00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.360
relationship in the nineties and the impact
Perry had on her life, both personally

66
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.040
and professionally. Tom Hanks had an
interaction with Share long before he became an

67
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.519
Oscar winning actor. He appeared on
The Greenham Norton Show alongside Shared Julia robertson

68
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:13.560
Timothy Challomy, where he talked about
his time working at a hotel in the

69
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.160
seventies. I have worked for Share. I was a bellman at the Oakland

70
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.680
Hilton Hotel, he said, surprising
Chaer, you were with one of your

71
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:24.079
rock and roll husbands and we had
you a bag and then word came down,

72
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.360
Hey, run this up to Shar's
room. So I did. I

73
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.439
knocked on the door and I put
it down, and you came out and

74
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.600
said, yeah, that's it.
Thanks kid, And that was it.

75
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.600
He said that happened in seventy five
or seventy six, and admitted he's a

76
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.800
fan of the singer, telling her
that Mama Meat two was motion picture perfection.

77
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.360
Challa May added his own thoughts on
Sha, shelting out her Oscar winning

78
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.920
performance and Moonstroke, while Roberts called
out her work in Silkwood. I think

79
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.560
we shall all go to the theater
and watch Shares movies right now, Hanks
