Ryan Seacrest is adding another title to his jam-packed resume: the host of Wheel of Fortune!

EastEnders' Patsy Kensit is returning to Walford next week for Lola Pearce's funeral. Patsy, 55, plays Emma Harding, the mum of young Lola in the BBC soap. Lola died on May 31 after a short battle with an incurable brain tumour, but her mum wasn't there in her final moments.

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor Frederic Forrest, a character actor who had a memorable role in 1979’s “Apocalypse Now” and earned an Oscar nomination for “The Rose” in the same year, died Friday in Santa Monica.

He was a remarkable actor, and a brilliant human being, and I was lucky to have him in my life. He was at peace.”

Jennifer Lawrence says she’s not always comfortable with Method actors.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jennifer Lawrence sobbed in hot sauce-related pain during an interview on “Hot Ones,” in which she also expressed nerves over working with a Method actor. Lawrence has worked with such acting heavyweights as Leonardo DiCaprio (“Don’t Look Up”) and Christian Bale (“American Hustle”) throughout her career, but no one has gone full Method to the point that Lawrence felt uncomfortable approaching them for a conversation. “I would be nervous to work with somebody who is Method,” Lawrence said. “I would have no idea how to talk to them. Do I have to be in character? That would make me nervous. I haven’t seen another [acting] process that I’ve been curious about. You don’t know about them all the time.”

When Pat Sajak announced his retirement from hosting "Wheel of Fortune," it marked the end of an era. "Well, the time has come," he wrote in a post that was shared across all the "Wheel of Fortune" social media accounts. "I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last." He added, "It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months.

Stage and screen star Paxton Whitehead has died at age 85.

Wheel of Fortune is about to enter a new era, as host Pat Sajak is retiring from the long-running game show following its upcoming season. While it’s still unknown who will be taking over, and if Vanna White could be following in his footsteps, the beloved host is already thinking about his life post-Wheel. Though the retirement party won't be celebrated for another year, he already has another gig lined up after his time on the series comes to an end.

he’d be leaving “Wheel of Fortune” in 2024 after hosting the program since 1983, the news felt a lot bigger than a fancy game of hangman.The 76-year-old has been a regular presence in American living rooms on most weeknights for four decades and he sadly represents a dying breed. Sajak is the last of the golden age of game show hosts.You know who I mean.

When she won a Golden Globe for “The Devil Wears Prada,” Meryl Streep said it best about what the role of costume design could be in moving pictures while thanking costume designer Patricia Field: “That was like special effects for our movie.”Indeed, “special effects” is what the effervescent Pat Field touch brings to any project that she signs her name under, the most popular among them undoubtedly being HBO’s “Sex and the City.” With perhaps the exception of “Mad Men” has there been another culturally iconic TV series in the last quarter century that informed, even evolved how people dressed in their daily lives?So it’s no easy task to do justice to the life and legacy of Field, a colorful New York City personality with a recently published book about her life. (Field doesn’t call it a memoir, as that word sounds too final to her.) But more versed in episodic outputs such as CNN’s four-part docuseries “American Style” than feature-length films, director Michael Selditch gives this gigantic task a shot anyway in “Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field” with mixed results.

Once Pat Sajak announced his retirement from "Wheel of Fortune," fans immediately began trying to solve the puzzle as to who would replace their favorite game show host. All eyes turned to Ryan Seacrest, whose schedule recently became a little more available after he stepped down from co-hosting "Live! with Kelly and Ryan" in April. Seacrest's name has reportedly been floated among several people who are being considered as Sajak's replacement by "Wheel of Fortune" owner Sony Group Corp.

Following "Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak’s announcement Monday that he plans to retire from the long-running game show after next season, there is speculation over who might replace the 76-year-old.  Ubiquitous host Ryan Seacrest is among several people being considered for his replacement by "Wheel of Fortune" owner Sony Group Corp, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the matter.  Fox News Digital has reached out to "Wheel of Fortune" and reps for Seacrest for comment.  Seacrest most recently left co-hosting duties at "Live with Kelly and Ryan" and has moved back to Los Angeles.  The 48-year-old also hosts "American Idol" and has led the "Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve" countdown every year since 2007 when Clark stepped down. Sajak, who has hosted "Wheel" since 1981, made his announcement on Monday.

Ryan Seacrest has his eye on a new hosting gig.

Ryan Seacrest could potentially replace Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune.

Pat Robertson, a religious broadcaster who turned a tiny Virginia station into the global Christian Broadcasting Network, tried a run for president and helped make religion central to Republican Party politics in America through his Christian Coalition, has died. He was 93.

William Earl Pat Robertson, a religious broadcaster who launched the Christian Broadcasting Network and was a onetime presidential candidate, has died at 93. The news was confirmed via CBN’s website. “Pat Robertson, longtime TV host, religious broadcaster, educator, humanitarian, and one-time presidential candidate died at his home in Virginia Beach early Thursday morning.
