Mindy Kaling is done sitting courtside.
The Running Point co-creator and executive producer is stepping in front of the camera for the sports comedy’s third season. Kaling will take on the recurring role of Divya, the outspoken CEO of a popular gambling app, and act alongside Kate Hudson, who plays Isla Gordon in the Netflix series.
Although Divya and Isla are both strong women in male-dominated fields, the high-power executive will be “a thorn in Isla’s plans” throughout the upcoming season, which is currently in production, per Netflix. As Kaling returns to our screens, Hudson is getting behind the camera, making her television directorial debut with episode 1.
Running Point is inspired by Los Angeles Lakers acting governor Jeanie Buss and follows Hudson’s character as she attempts to take charge of her family’s pro basketball team. Along with Hudson and Kaling, season 3 will feature Brenda Song, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur and Fabrizio Guido.
Kaling previously said she’d be honored to join the star-studded cast, saying “nothing would make me happier.”
"This is the happiest set I've ever been on, you can tell from the dynamic of the cast just when you watch them,” the Never Have I Ever creator told Deadline in an interview published in April. “They love each other so much that you really do feel, especially when you're a writer-performer working behind the scenes, you're like, I want to get in on that. So I would love that."

Barbara Palvin is opening up about walking the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show six weeks postpartum.
The model and actress welcomed her first child on Labor Day with her spouse, actor Dylan Sprouse.
"I'm happy to be here because of the help I got and the support I got, but you know, I'm still healing," Palvin told Good Morning America about returning to the runway Sunday.
Palvin said although she could make a quick comeback, she acknowledged she didn't do it alone and it wasn't a goal that made sense for every postpartum parent.
"Everyone's journey is different," the 33-year-old new mom said, adding that for her, the motherhood journey has "definitely been a roller coaster."
"I'm very grateful for the support system I have. My parents flew out here to help me and my friends have been dropping off food at the door," she said. "I'm just happy to be back. And I was talking to some people -- in the U.S., you have to be back to work after six weeks. Maternity leave is like, six to eight weeks, so it's not that big of a deal, right?"
On the federal level, the Family and Medical Leave Act allows for up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave a year, including for the birth and care of the newborn.
Some commenters online supported Palvin's return to the runway.
"If [she] feels healthy enough to walk the runway leave her alone. She probably worked very hard to have a healthy pregnancy and postpartum. let people do what they want to do," wrote one commenter.
Others criticized the example Palvin's return could set for young girls and teens.
"As someone who works in health research: chasing these standards drives real harm, like crash diets, anxiety, and poor self-image in teens," another commented on a Victoria's Secret Instagram post. "A brand this big has the power to set a healthier example.Nothing against the models, they're doing their job. But when one brand defines 'beautiful' for millions of young girls, it has a responsibility to show the full range of real women."
At the end of the day, Palvin said her advice to other moms and parents is to "not be too hard on yourself."
"Every week is different. You think like, oh, now we have a routine. I got it down and then [your baby] throws you for a loop," Palvin said. "But yeah, don't be hard on yourself. Take your time."

Donnie Wahlberg is speaking out after he said he survived a failed plane takeoff.
In a video on his Instagram page on Sunday, Wahlberg said he and others were on a plane that failed to take off from a Las Vegas airport.
"We're all OK. I'm OK. We were taking off and didn't get up in the air and ran out of runway," the actor and New Kids on the Block singer said in the video.
"These pilots saved our lives and ... I'm not sure how many fences we avoided but we didn't avoid the last one. But we avoided those trucks and heavy equipment and the dumpsters behind that," he added.
Officials have not confirmed that the actor was on the flight but a statement released by Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on Sunday said that "upon departure, a general aviation aircraft skid off runway 1L at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) and made contact with the perimeter fence."
"There are no known injuries at this time," the statement said. "Runways 1R and 1L will be closed for inspection, and travelers may experience some delays. We will provide updates as more information becomes available."
The Federal Aviation Administration said it is investigating the incident and confirmed eight people were on board the Dassault Falcon 50 plane, which was scheduled to fly to Toronto Pearson Airport in Canada.
The incident caused a temporary ground stop and flight delays at LAS on Sunday. Both runways 1R and 1L were later reopened that same day following inspections.

The family of Presley Gerber has made their first public statements about the late model after his death on Sept. 21 at age 27.
Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber and their daughter, Kaia Gerber, took to social media Sunday to remember Presley Gerber, who died at a rehab facility in Santa Monica, according to a report from the Los Angeles medical examiner.
"We feel so blessed to have had Presley in our lives for 27 years. He is a sweet, beautiful soul who loved and is loved, now and forever," Crawford, Rande Gerber and Kaia Gerber said in a joint statement shared on each of their accounts. "We are so proud of how he showed up in the world, with kindness and vulnerability."
They ended the statement with a message of thanks, writing, "We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from so many who know and love our family and even strangers who feel our pain. Til we meet again our sweet boy. We love you forever, Mom, Dad and Kaia."
Kaia Gerber, a model and actress, also posted her own tribute to her brother on social media, writing, "You know how much I loved being your sister. It has always been, and will forever be, my favorite thing about myself."
"I came into this world with a white-knuckle grip around you. I had more love for you than I knew what to do with. And now that it has nowhere obvious to go, I'm certain it's going to swallow me whole," she continued. "You were my ultimate teacher while you were here, and now I'm left wondering what I could possibly be taught in your absence."
The official cause and manner of death for Presley Gerber has not been publicly released. Police in Santa Monica told ABC News last month they are investigating his death as a suspected overdose.
Presley Gerber followed his mom's footsteps into modeling, being signed by IMG Models at 15 years old and walking runway shows for brands including Moschino and Dolce & Gabbana.
In recent years, he had been open about his struggles with mental health and substance abuse, speaking candidly about treatment after being charged with a DUI in 2019.

It's true: Antonio Banderas will star alongside Nicolas Cage in True Detective season 5.
HBO confirmed the casting news for its upcoming season of the anthology series in a post on Instagram Friday. The new season will begin filming in 2027.
"Cage. Banderas. Season 5 of #TrueDetective starts production in 2027," the caption reads.
This new season is being led by showrunner Issa López, who also oversaw the series' fourth season, Night Country.
While there aren't many details known about the new season at this time, it will be set in Jamaica Bay, New York. Cage will star as Henry Logan and Banderas will play Rai Garcia.
In addition to serving as showrunner, López will write, direct and executive produce the season. Also executive producing are Cage and Banderas, alongside the show's season 1 stars, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
Season 4 of True Detective starred Jodie Foster and Kali Reis. The third season featured Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff, while season 2 was led by Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams. All of these actors are featured in the video HBO shared as part of its cast announcement post.

Time to unwrap the name of the brand-new film in The Mummy franchise.
The upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy film series will be titled The Mummy: Book of the Dead. Universal Pictures made the announcement in a recent social media post celebrating one year until the film's release on Oct. 15, 2027.
"In one year, The Mummy: Book of the Dead opens," the post reads.
Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are returning to their roles as Rick O’Connell and Evelyn O’Connell in the new film, which will be directed by Radio Silence's Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett. They helm from a screenplay written by David Coggeshall. Its story is being kept under wraps for the time being.
Fraser starred in all three of the franchise's films — 1999's The Mummy, 2001’s The Mummy Returns and the 2008 film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, while Weisz appeared in the first two. In addition to starring, Fraser will executive produce this fourth installment.
Producer Sean Daniel also returns for the new film. He has produced each installment in the franchise so far, including the three previously mentioned films, the 2002 prequel spinoff The Scorpion King and the 2017 Tom Cruise-starring reboot of The Mummy.
“Well, we’re gonna get the band back together,” Fraser said. “The only way to do it. So, we are going to give the audience what they have been bothering all of us for, for the last 20-whatever years.”
Fraser said he's been hoping another movie in the franchise would get made for a long time.
“I was hopeful for a long while, and then I was like, ‘I don’t know if they are.’ Then other Mummy movies got made. But listen, what we’re gonna do is saddle back up, go back to the locations — I should probably stop talking like this, because I don’t want to give everything away," he said.
The actor continued, asking fans of the franchise to "please wish me luck."
"I’m doing my best to get this 57-year-old gear in shape,” he said at the time.

Rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs is on the move, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
Combs is being transferred from New Jersey's FCI Ft. Dix, and headed to FCI Allenwood Low, sources told ABC News.
FCI Allenwood is in Pennsylvania and has a low- and medium-security prison.
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed the move, saying, "We can confirm that Sean Combs is currently incarcerated at FCI Allenwood Low. For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any individual in our custody, including reasons for transfer."
A representative for Combs shared a statement with ABC News on Friday, acknowledging the move.
"Decisions about inmate placement are made by the BOP, and we are not in a position to speak to the circumstances surrounding this transfer," according to Combs' rep.
The statement continued, "Sean remains focused on moving forward, and we hope that his time at the new facility will be productive and without unnecessary disruption."
Combs was briefly hospitalized last weekend
Combs was taken to the hospital briefly for a head injury over the weekend, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
He returned to New Jersey's FCI Ft. Dix early Sunday morning after being taken in on Saturday.
The Bureau of Prisons said they do not comment on inmate activity for safety and security reasons.
"We are aware of the reports concerning Sean Combs and are working to confirm the circumstances. Sean's health and well-being are our immediate concern, and we appreciate everyone who has reached out," his representative said in a statement to ABC News when reports of Combs' hospitalization surfaced earlier this week.
Multiple sources previously told ABC News earlier this month that Combs was expected to be placed into the Special Housing Unit (SHU) at FCI Ft. Dix.
"For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including quarters assignment or whether a particular individual is the subject of allegations, investigations, or sanctions," a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told ABC News at the time.
Combs' current release date is March 2, 2028, according to inmate records.

In her post, Cuoco added, "Time to bring Matilda’s baby home!"
She continued, "@tompelphrey life exploded the minute we met, and the gifts keep coming. I love you forever, girl daddy!"
Pelphrey also took to Instagram to share the news of his and Cuoco's growing family and described their family's newest addition as "another miracle."
"Welcome to our family youngest queen!" he continued. "Kaley you showed up in every way as a partner and a mom even when you weren’t feeling your best- you’re a CHAMPION. The girls and I would be lost without you. Thank God for the gift of this family and these girls."
Cuoco, who is known for her role as Penny in The Big Bang Theory and Cassie in The Flight Attendant, announced her engagement to Pelphrey in 2024.
Last month, she supported Pelphrey at the 78th Primetime Emmys, where he won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series for his performance in the HBO drama Task.

We have boxes of tissues on standby for "Dedication Night" on Dancing with the Stars.
Next week, the 10 remaining couples will hit the dance floor to deliver heartfelt performances honoring the people and places that have shaped their lives.
One dance number that fans are already looking forward to is Julia Stiles and Ezra Sosa's performance. A press release from Dancing with the Stars on Wednesday revealed that Stiles will honor her late 10 Things I Hate About You co-star, Heath Ledger, with a contemporary routine to "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" by Frankie Valli.
Fans of the film will recall that the song was sung by Ledger in the hit 1999 teen romantic comedy film. The memorable scene centers around Ledger's character, Patrick Verona, who pulls out all the stops to win over Stiles' character, Kat Stratford, by serenading her with Valli's hit song. In the scene, Ledger sings from the bleachers of their high school stadium, accompanied by the school marching band before being chased by school security.
Ledger died in January 2008. He was 28.
Stiles' upcoming performance follows this week's Save the Last Dance-inspired performance, which included a special appearance from her former co-star Sean Patrick Thomas.
Next week's special Dancing with the Stars theme night will feature special guest judge Kym Johnson.
Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and streams on Disney+. Episodes stream the next day on Hulu.

Tom Hiddleston and Genden Phuntsok star in 'Tenzing.' (Apple TV)
Many people know Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary for the moment they became the first people to summit Mount Everest. But not many know much else about their stories.
The new Apple TV film Tenzing sets out to change this. Based on true events, the film stars Chinese actor of Tibetan descent Genden Phuntsok as the gifted Himalayan climber. The movie not only chronicles Norgay's climbing talent, but also takes audiences through the highs and lows of his life to show how he was able to accomplish such a monumental feat.
Phuntsok told ABC Audio what it means to him to be able to bring Norgay to life in this way.
"Tenzing Norgay should [have been] known many years ago, and at this moment, I really hope Tenzing Norgay, he can see this movie from heaven," Phuntsok said.
The actor hopes people from all over the world will "give more love to the Sherpa people and [put] more attention on the Sherpa people" after watching Tenzing.
Tom Hiddleston stars alongside Phuntsok as the New Zealand mountaineer Hillary. He said he'd "always been captivated by the prospect of Everest, by the roof of the world, by this story."
The actor learned to ski in the Swiss and French Alps. While he had never climbed mountains at the scale and degree of skill required for Tenzing prior to signing on to the project, he'd always loved them.
"I found that mountains can yield awe and peace and serenity that I haven't found elsewhere in my life. I love being in the mountains. And I've always been so impressed by the idea of these extraordinary men who achieved the impossible, and had the physical strength and the resilience and the spiritual strength to do this," Hiddleston said.
Part of the appeal of working on the project was director Jennifer Peedom's insistence on filming in real locations.
"When Genden and I are dropped into crevasses, we are in a real crevasse, climbing up a real ice wall. It was completely unforgettable," Hiddleston said.
Adding to that unforgettable experience was getting to act out what Hiddleston describes as a "remarkable story of endurance, of imagination, of resilience, of fellowship and friendship and team spirit."
And while Hiddleston acknowledges the skill both Norgay and Hillary had, he also attributes their successful journey to their lack of ego.
"The film, correctly, I think, suggests that Tenzing and Hillary were the first to summit Everest because they had a relationship with the mountain that was deeply spiritual. It wasn't about ego, it wasn't about conquest. It was about reverence and awe," Hiddleston said. "From Tenzing's point of view, the mountain is not a mountain to be conquered, but a goddess to be worshipped. A mother into whose lap you might climb."
He thinks Hillary thought of the journey similarly to Norgay.
"I think in his own way, Edmund Hillary had a similar relationship to mountains. He loved being free in the mountains, being unrestrained and unconstrained. Being at peace somehow," Hiddleston said.

Billy Joel says he can't drive or perform amid his ongoing struggle with the brain condition normal pressure hydrocephalus.
The "Piano Man" singer shared a personal update in a new interview ahead of the Gooding Christie's auction in November of over 70 motorcycles from his personal collection.
According to MedlinePlus, normal pressure hydrocephalus is an abnormal or excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid around the brain, which can impact brain function, cause walking or gait changes, or incontinence.
In his latest interview, Joel downplayed the impact of hydrocephalus, calling it "not that serious," but also said he still is unable to perform as he used to.
"It affects your balance, it affects your memory, it affects your vision, your hearing. But I’m OK. They call it a brain disorder, but it’s not that serious. It’s just something that affects your balance mostly," Joel said, adding, "They have to test me further to see if I can go back and do performing again, which I would like to be able to do."
Joel revealed publicly that he had been diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus in May 2025 and canceled shows he had been scheduled to perform.
"This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance," a statement shared on Joel's Instagram page read at the time. "Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period."
Joel previously revealed that in addition to physical therapy, he underwent brain surgery for his hydrocephalus, where doctors placed a shunt in his brain, which helped with some of his symptoms.
"My memory got better, my balance got a little better, my ability to function was better," Joel said in an interview with his radio station, Sirius XM's The Billy Joel Channel.

Zendaya is taking her talent to the sci-fi genre.
The actress is set to play the lead character in a new, currently untitled sci-fi film from Alex Garland for A24.
Garland wrote and will direct the film. Its plot details are being kept under wraps for the time being. The new movie will start production in 2027.
This continues Zendaya's collaboration with A24 after her Emmy-winning lead performance in the HBO series Euphoria and the Kristoffer Borgli film The Drama.
A24 has previously released Garland's films Ex Machina, Civil War, Men and Warfare. The studio is also set to put out his upcoming Elden Ring adaptation. It stars Kit Connor and Cailee Spaeny and has a release date of March 3, 2028.
Zendaya has had a busy 2026. After starring in The Drama, she was also seen in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey. She also reprised her role as MJ in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has made over $2.5 billion at the worldwide box office. In December, she will once again play Chani in Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three.
Hudville won’t have to wait until the spring to get more Hudson Williams screen time.
The Canadian streamer CBC announced Thursday that the Heated Rivalry breakout star will appear on the second season of The Assembly.
The unscripted series features celebrity quests participating in a no-holds-barred interview by a group of more than 30 neurodivergent and autistic adults. Each guest faces an “ask-anything interview, with direct, unpredictable questions that move beyond the usual promotional talking points, and often get personal,” according to a release from CBC.
Actors Jay Barucheland Zach Galifianakis also sit in the hot seat for The Assembly’s second season.
With no subject off limits, a new trailer shows Williams being asked about his sex life and whether he’s ever felt anything for co-star Connor Storrie that was “more than friendship."
But the questions also go deep: Baruchel is asked whether any particular childhood moment was traumatizing; Williams tells the panel about how he deals with loneliness.
“Your friends and your family are like the climbing pegs that you pull yourself back into life by," he tells the group.
The Assembly season 2 begins streaming on Canada’s CBC on Nov. 1.

Oscar, Emmy and Tony Award winner Al Pacino is adding another accolade to the list: the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award.
Pacino, 86, will be honored for his acting work and philanthropy in February during the 33rd annual Actor Awards.
"I wondered and wandered most of my life but have always felt at home with a script and my fellow actors. It’s the work and the actors along the way that have been among the greatest joys of my life,” Pacino said in a statement Thursday.
Pacino’s acting career began on the stage in the 1960s with theaters in Boston and New York. In 1969 he made his Broadway debut in Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?, which also led to his first Tony Award — best featured actor in a play. That same year, Pacino landed a small role in his first film, Me, Natalie. Two years later he was cast as Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s seminal work The Godfather.
Pacino was most recently seen in the films Father Joe and Killing Castro.
SAG-AFTRA President Sean Astin said Thursday, “Like so many actors, I have spent my life in awe and appreciation of the force of nature that is Al Pacino. When you watch him perform, you are witnessing a student and a master. Al Pacino is an artist of extraordinary courage, intensity and heart whose work has always set an exceptional standard of skill and talent.”
Throughout his more than six-decade career, Pacino’s work has been recognized with an Academy Award, two Tony Awards, two Primetime Emmy Awards and two Actor Awards. He has also received the AFI Life Achievement Award, the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award, a Kennedy Center Honor and a Venice Career Golden Lion.
Pacino will receive the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award during the Actor Awards on Feb. 28, 2027, in Los Angeles.

Hilary Swank is going to be a mom of three.
The Oscar-winning actress, 52, announced Wednesday that she is expecting her third child with husband Philip Schneider.
Swank shared the news in an Instagram video showing the couple and their 3-year-old twins, Aya and Ohm, dancing in the dark with glow sticks attached to their bodies.
The video also reveals Swank's growing belly, with a tiny baby shape outlined in glow sticks inside.
"A lot of people have been asking what project I'm doing next, this one releases in December," she captioned the video, appearing to hint at her due date.
ABC News has reached out to Swank's representatives for additional comment.
Swank and Schneider, who married in 2018, welcomed their twins in April 2023, when the actress was 48.
"It wasn't easy. But boy (and girl!) was it worth it," Swank wrote on Instagram at the time, alongside a photo of herself holding the newborns.
Swank first announced her pregnancy with the twins on Good Morning America in October 2022.
"I'm going to be a mom -- and not just of one, but of two," she said at the time. "I can't believe it."
The actress has since spoken openly about becoming a mother later in life, and embracing the changes that come with motherhood.
"For me, it's not about bouncing back to our pre-baby bodies but rather bouncing forward into our new bodies and selves," she told Women's Health last year.

Este Haim believes she manifested her latest project.
The Haim musician told ABC Audio she wrote in her diary about how much she would love to be involved in a project with Marvel Studios.
"I grew up watching X-Men and Superman and also loving Disney movies," Haim said, not knowing she would soon be offered a role voicing the villain Hallow's Eve in Marvel’s Spidey and the Avengers: Halloween Team-Up.
The animated special features characters from Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends, which just so happens to be Marvel’s most-watched TV series on Disney+. It's available to watch on the streaming service now.
"I was just dreaming and manifesting, and I've always wanted to do animation and here we are. So I just put it in the universe," Haim said.
Haim has long loved Disney's iconic villains, but most of all, she admired the iconic sea witch from The Little Mermaid.
"I really loved Ursula. That song, come on. The best," Haim said. At the sheer mention of the character, the musician immediately belted out her favorite line from the Pat Carroll-performed track, "Poor Unfortunate Souls."
"You've got your looks, your pretty face. But don't underestimate the importance of body language!" Haim sang, channeling the villain who steals Ariel's voice.
While voicing Hallow's Eve was Haim's first-ever experience with voice acting, the five-time Grammy nominee is no stranger to the recording studio. Neither is her co-star, Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, who voices her villain sidekick, Jack O'Lantern.
"The studio itself is my happy place. It's not my first time in a studio. I've been in the studio a million times," Haim said. "But this was for a different job, and Patrick was really supportive and he was just really complimentary."
You can't have a Haim sister voice a villain and not give her a song. Luckily, Stump wrote her the tune "Hallows Eve Theme," which the two musicians perform together in the special.
"I'd signed on to do it because I loved the part. And then I heard this song and I was like, 'Oh I'm, now I'm really doing it,'" Haim said. "Patrick's just really talented. And the music that he's done for the show is so good. And I think that's a huge part of why kids and adults alike like the show."
Haim continued, saying she's "been a fan of his since 'Sugar, We're Going Down.'"
"That was one of my favorite songs in high school. So yeah, I jumped at the chance to work with him. He's so talented," Haim said.
The special has arrived just in time for spooky season. Even though Haim isn't sure what she will dress up as for Halloween this year, she promises there will be a costume.
"I dress up for Halloween every year. I don't know what my sisters and I are gonna plan to be this year. It's been tough because we've been in different places, and we haven't been able to nail down and decide what to be for Halloween," Haim said.
If there was anything she could potentially see happening, Haim teases, "You know, we still haven't done the Powerpuff Girls."
If not that idea, how about the characters from her new Halloween special?
In that scenario, Haim said, "I know who I'm gonna be, but Danielle and Alana would have to fight over Spidey and Jack O'Lantern."
