Robert Irwin is back in the Dancing with the Stars universe as host of the upcoming spinoff, Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro.

This time, instead of getting down on the ballroom floor, the season 34 winner will be guiding a new group of dancers as they vie for a spot as the next pro on the reality competition show.

At first glance, Irwin's transition from zookeeper at Australia Zoo to dancer, reality show winner and now host may seem unorthodox, but Irwin told Good Morning America in an interview Wednesday that everything has fallen into place seamlessly.

"Going from contestant to host, first of all, I'm not getting judged, so that's great. The other thing is, also, I feel like I can be, in some way, a bit of a mentor, because I'm obviously not the best dancer, but I had the best partner, I had Witney Carson," Irwin said. "So, I know what it is to have a great pro partner teaching me ... I can say to these hopefuls, 'Hey, this is what it takes.'"

The Next Pro follows 12 emerging ballroom dancers as they progress through a multistep audition process.

"These aren't celebrity contestants that have given [ballroom dancing] a go, these are the best in the industry, so it is hard," Irwin said. "It is really, really hard."

The winner of The Next Pro will earn a spot as a pro dancer on season 35 of Dancing with the Stars.

"We actually filmed The Next Pro right down the road from Australia Zoo," Irwin explained. "Showing all of my dance family Australia Zoo, welcoming them in, I got them their own khaki uniforms — they're in there cuddling koalas and wrangling crocodiles."

As for the next DWTS season, Irwin said he's looking forward to rooting for Jimmy Kimmel Live! personality Guillermo Rodriguez. He said he also caught up with new cast member Jackson Olson, the Savannah Bananas' second baseman.

"I said, 'Mate, the thing is, anyone who does this show, I say, you've got to lean in, you've got to let go, enjoy the process, trust your partner, and try to tell your story,'" Irwin said. "That's what sets Dancing with the Stars apart. It's so much more than dancing. We can tell a message."

Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro premieres Monday on ABC and streams Tuesday on Hulu. 

Disney is the parent company of ABC News, ABC and Hulu.

Robert Pattinson may be Edward Cullen, but he says his character from The Odyssey is more like Jacob Black.

Pattison referenced Twilight in a recent interview with MTV on the red carpet at The Odyssey's U.K. premiere.

The actor famously played the perpetual teenage vampire Edward in all five of the Twilight films. He evoked the franchise that made him into a star when he was asked if it is fun to play a character that everyone isn't rooting for.

"I think they will be rooting for him," Pattinson said. "I keep comparing. It’s kind of like Jacob in Twilight."

Pattinson plays Antinous in Christopher Nolan's upcoming adaptation of Homer's epic poem. His character pursues Penelope after her husband, Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, fails to return home almost a decade after the Trojan War. Eventually, Penelope assumes Odysseus must have died during the treacherous journey.

“What The Odyssey is about, Penelope just can’t make her mind up between the two guys,” Pattinson said. “And I’m just trying to help her make a decision.”

Pattinson then looked right into the camera before he said, "It’s like, it’s fine, he’s dead. Get over it.”

The Odyssey has a star-studded cast that also includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron. It opens in movie theaters on July 17.

The upcoming Britney Spears biopic has a screenwriter.

Liz Meriwether is set to write the film's screenplay based on Spears' memoir, The Woman in Me, ABC Audio has learned.

Universal Pictures had no comment when reached by ABC Audio.

The biopic was announced in 2024 when Universal Pictures secured the rights to the project.

Jon M. Chu, known for Crazy Rich Asians and the Wicked films, is set to direct. Producer Marc Platt is developing the movie for his Universal-based Marc Platt Productions.

Spears first teased the project on social media in August 2024, writing on X at the time, "Excited to share with my fans that I've been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He's always made my favorite movies … stay tuned."

The Woman in Me was released in October 2023 and became an instant New York Times bestseller. It was the fastest-selling memoir in the history of Simon & Schuster, with over 6 million copies sold worldwide.

Meriwether is known for creating the sitcom New Girl. That series ran from 2011 to 2018 and starred Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris and Hannah Simone.

The trailer for the upcoming Starz series Fightland has just been unveiled.

It opens with Duke Kilroy, played by Howard Charles, securing a victory as a heavyweight boxing champion, before shifting to Kingsley Marshall, played by Nicholas Pinnock, promoting his company Marshall Promotions.

"Marshall promotions is a major force in the boxing game," he says, prompting a reporter to ask, "What do you say to allegations that Marshall Promotions is a front to launder drug money?"

In Fightland, Duke is out for revenge after going to prison following his brother's death, which he believes Kingsley was responsible for. Upon his release, Duke says, "Eight years ago, I had everything I wanted and in one minute, Kingsley took everything from me. Now I’m gonna take everything away from him."

As the story goes on, Kingsley eventually disappears. He leaves his children to take over the family business,  which takes a few financial losses, partially due to Duke. "Duke begins a high-risk game to infiltrate Kingsley’s empire and destroy it from within," according to the synopsis. "And when Kingsley returns, Duke will take his revenge."

Fightland, executive produced by 50 Cent, premieres July 31 on Starz.

One injury can't stop Tyler Perry. During an interview with People, he revealed that he broke his collarbone two weeks before filming Why Did I Get Married Again?, prompting him to constantly remind people to be careful around him.

"[The cast] will tell you their favorite experience is me walking around saying ‘watch my shoulder’ in every scene," he said, including during one dance scene in the film.

“I was talking to everyone, directing and getting the cast to dance. But my shoulder was in a lot of pain and I kept telling them to watch my shoulder," Tyler added. “Their group chat ended up being titled ‘watch my shoulder.’”

Why Did I Get Married Again? sees returning cast members Tyler, Jill Scott, Richard T. Jones, Tasha Smith, Michael Jai White, Lamman Rucker and Sharon Leal as a group of close friends who come together in Lake Como, Italy, for the wedding of Marcus and Angela's daughter.

"Realizing their children have grown up to be so much like them, they must reflect on the examples they’ve set and ask themselves that age-old question: Why did they get married … again?" the official synopsis reads.

The film also stars Taraji P. Henson, Armani Greer, Everett Osborne, Da’Vinchi, Laya Deleon Hayes, Jaden Michael, Charles L. Smith II, Derrick A. King and Sydney Winbush. It premieres Sept. 9 on Netflix.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender has moved up its release date.

The animated movie is now set to premiere in July rather than in October. It will debut to Paramount+ on July 25. Paramount+ also released the official trailer for the film, which continues the story of the TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Previously, the movie was supposed to debut in theaters on Oct. 9. Paramount changed the rollout to a direct-to-streaming release rather than a theatrical debut back in December 2025. Additionally, the entire film leaked online in April. This is thought to have added to the decision to move up its official release date.

The film follows Aang, the world's last Airbender, as he learns "of an ancient power that could save his culture from extinction. With the help of his friends, he embarks on a global quest to find it before it falls into the wrong hands and threatens to upend the peace they sacrificed everything to achieve," according to the film's official description.

Its voice cast includes Eric Nam as Aang, Dave Bautista as Tagah, Jessica Matten as Katara, Román Zaragoza as Sokka, Steven Yeun as Zuko and Dionne Quan as Toph. Freida Pinto, Ke Huy Quan, Taika Waititi, Geraldine Viswanathan, Ronny Chieng and Ken Jeong also provide their voices, while Dee Bradley Baker reprises his roles as pets Appa and Momo.

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is based on the animated series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. It was directed by Lauren Montgomery, and co-directed by Steve Ahn and William Mata. DiMartino and Konietzko produced the film, and also created its story alongside Tim Hedrick and Kenneth Lin. The screenplay was written by Hedrick and Christopher Yost.

Zendaya is opening up about her first day on set of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

In a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the actress said she could not even open her mouth to speak her first lines of dialogue while filming in freezing conditions in Iceland. Zendaya, who plays Athena in the film, said that didn't help ease her nerves over appearing in her first Nolan project.

"I had my lines and I wanted to have them so down. I psyched myself out a little bit,” Zendaya said. “It was particularly cold. It was in Iceland. My mouth was just frozen. There is nothing coming out."

The actress continued, saying, "My mouth would not move. Literally. It came out like, ‘Blah blah blah.’ So embarrassing.”

She went on to say that showing up "was such a pleasure and a gift to be able to share scenes with people you admire."

“Part of you has to compartmentalize to a degree. Lock in, we’re working. But I was so moved and excited to be there and wanted to do my best work," Zendaya said.

The Odyssey has a star-studded cast that also includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal. It opens in movie theaters on July 17.

The film, of course, is an adaptation of Homer's epic poem. It tells the story of Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, and his 10-year journey of returning home to his wife, Penelope, after the Trojan War.

Many more actors have joined the cast of the upcoming Ocean's Eleven prequel.

Vicky Krieps, George MacKay, Lauren Ridloff and Jack Holden have joined the film's ensemble, while Omar Sy is currently in negotiations to join the cast, ABC Audio has confirmed.

Bradley Cooper is set to write, direct and star in the prequel film. Margot Robbie will star alongside Cooper, who will also produce the film along with Robbie's banner, LuckyChap.

Twisters director Lee Isaac Chung was previously attached to direct the film but stepped away from the project due to creative differences.

Wagner Moura, Monica Barbaro and Josh Gad are also set to star in the upcoming film. Cooper wrote the screenplay based on characters that were created by George Clayton Johnson and Jack Golden Russell. A previous draft of the script was written by Carrie Solomon.

While the film's plot is being kept locked in the vault for now, ABC Audio has learned that it takes place in the year 1963.

The currently untitled Ocean's Eleven prequel will arrive in theaters on June 25, 2027.

Warner Bros. launched the current Ocean's franchise with Steven Soderbergh’s 2001 film Ocean’s Eleven. It became a trilogy that starred George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts and Matt Damon. Ocean’s Eleven was a remake of the studio's 1961 film Ocean’s 11, which starred Frank Sinatra.

The latest adaptation of one of Harlan Coben’s works is headed to TV screens.

Netflix has announced that Colin Woodell will star in the upcoming drama Myron Bolitar. The show will be based on writer Coben’s longest-running series, which spans 12 books.

Riverdale's KJ Apa and Orange is the New Black actress Diane Guerrero will also star in the upcoming series.

"After an injury ends his NBA dreams, Myron Bolitar reinvents himself as a sports agent — using charm, smarts, and a ruthless partner to navigate the high-stakes and dirty world of sports, where saving his clients often means risking himself," according to the show's official logline.

Woodell's Myron Bolitar is described as "a former college basketball star whose NBA career came to an abrupt end," according to Netflix. "Myron reinvented himself as a sports agent. He built his agency — MB Sports — on an unwavering belief in overlooked athletes, with the same heart and fierce competitive drive he once brought to the court."

Apa is set to play Win Lockwood, a character who is "born into extraordinary privilege." He "walked away from the family business to build something of his own alongside his closest friend, Myron. Unflappable, endlessly resourceful, and fiercely loyal, he's the one Myron turns to when clients find themselves in trouble," according to the streamer.

Guerrero will portray Esperanza Diaz, "a former professional wrestler turned Myron's indispensable right hand at MB Sports. Armed with endless grit and razor-sharp wit, Esperanza is the backbone of the agency and the steady force keeping both Myron and clients in check," according to Netflix.

Emmy winner David E. Kelley and Kyle Long are set to co-showrun, write and executive produce the series. House of the Dragon's Greg Yaitanes will direct multiple episodes of the show.

George Clooney is getting the Golden Lion.

The actor is set to be honored at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement. The board of directors of La Biennale made the decision to honor Clooney, as recommended by the artistic director of the festival, Alberto Barbera.

"I’ve had so many extraordinary moments in Venice. This festival is without question my favorite and to be given the Golden Lion is a tremendous honor. It also probably means I’m old, but I’ll take it," Clooney said in a statement.

Barbera called Clooney a triple threat in his own statement, complimenting his work as an actor, director and producer.

"George Clooney is a complete and charismatic artist, impassioned and original, who has transformed a deep vocation into one of the most luminous parabolas of contemporary film. An early career launched without shortcuts, with small roles in TV series and B movies until his major success as the star of the series ER, formed an actor who is able to inhabit the screen with disarming spontaneity," Barbera said. "He is endowed with the gift of making his characters seem not only credible but desirable, approachable, and human, thanks to his undeniable charm. But Clooney’s charisma is constructed on his credibility, not on his image, because his seductive side has never been merely aesthetic."

The festival's artistic director continued, saying Clooney is "a perfect combination of the star glamour of days gone by, remarkable professionalism, and modern sensitivity, the actor has crossed the genres with rare versatility."

The 2026 Venice International Film Festival will take place from Sept. 2 to Sept. 12.

Another episode of Power Book II: Raising Kanan aired Friday, bringing fans one step closer to the end of the series. While this fifth season continues to show how Kanan Stark became the man audiences see in the original Power, it also introduces Breeze, a character frequently mentioned but never seen in the original series.

In the Power universe, Breeze is the drug kingpin who became a mentor to Kanan, Ghost and Tommy before the events in the original series. Shameik Moore, who takes on the role, tells ABC Audio he wasn't pressured by fans' expectations of the character.

"I definitely knew what needed to be done," he says, noting he took time to understand his character because "it's in the peak of the show, like the bang moment."

Shameik's biggest adjustment was getting used to how things worked on set. "I didn't realize it would be as strict on the lines that it was ... 'welcome to thee restaurant instead of welcome to the restaurant.' If I said the wrong version, we was gonna have to get it the right way," he explains. "My style has always been a little bit more — I don't wanna say loose, but I've always digested the scripts and like spit out what felt natural with the character and whatnot."

Viewers may recognize Shameik from his portray of Raekwon in Wu-Tang: An American Saga, but he says they shouldn't expect the same performance.

"That's not what they get," he says.

Describing Breeze, Shameik says, "Breeze's a monster with a smile. He's not coming in like, you know, 'I'ma snatch your chain, grr, what's up man?'"

He adds that portraying Breeze was "just really an opportunity to come in and do what ... the people familiar with my work know that I'm capable of in this role." 

Raising Kanan season 5 episode 4 is now streaming.

Music superstar Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce are officially husband and wife.

The couple wed in a ceremony officiated by Adam Sandler, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News Friday.

Swift's brother, Austin Swift, served as her "man of honor," while Kelce's brother, Jason Kelce, served as his best man. They were the only members of the wedding party, according to the rep.

Both the bride and groom wore custom looks by Dior, with the bride wearing a haute couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson.

No official wedding photos have been released by the couple, who held a two-day wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden said to include more than 1,000 guests.

Celebrities including actors Hugh Grant, Ethan Hawke and Jason Sudeikis, singer Benson Boone, soccer legend Abby Wambach and NFL stars Chris Jones and Cooper Kupp were photographed arriving at MSG late Friday afternoon in black-tie attire as a cocktail hour was scheduled to begin, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News.

On Thursday evening, Swift and Kelce held a smaller gathering at the arena for around 100 people, sources said.

An SUV with tinted windows believed to be transporting Swift was photographed arriving at MSG around 5 p.m. on Thursday.

For both events, a strict no-phone policy was in place for everyone inside the venue, including guests, vendors and security personnel, according to sources.

Representatives for Swift or Kelce did not confirm any details about the events.

On Thursday, just hours before their first reported event at MSG, a representative for Swift confirmed to ABC News that she and Kelce had donated $26 million to charities both in New York City and across the United States.

The "Shake It Off" singer and Kansas City Chiefs tight end announced their engagement last August in a social media post that included photos of Kelce's flower-filled proposal and a close-up of Swift's old-mine brilliant–cut diamond ring, which ABC News confirmed was custom-designed by Kelce and jeweler Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry in New York City.

The couple's romance began in the summer of 2023, when Kelce revealed on his New Heights podcast that he'd unsuccessfully tried to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number during one of her Eras Tour concerts.

Swift later told TIME she found the gesture "metal as hell," and the two started spending time together soon after.

By November 2023, Kelce confirmed their relationship in an interview with WSJ. Magazine, praising Swift's ability to handle intense public scrutiny.

Swift, meanwhile, revealed in her December 2023 TIME Person of the Year interview that the couple had enjoyed private time together before going public.

"We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other," she said at the time.

Throughout their relationship, the pair have been each other's biggest supporters, with Swift attending Chiefs games, including Super Bowl LVIII and Super Bowl LIX, and Kelce cheering Swift on at numerous Eras Tour stops, even joining her onstage during her London show in June 2024.

Tyler Perry is continuing his Why Did I Get Married? franchise with Why Did I Get Married Again?, premiering Sept. 9 on Netflix.

The film reunites most of the original cast as a group of longtime friends who gather in Lake Como, Italy, for the wedding of Marcus and Angela's daughter. It's an experience that shows the group how much their children have grown to mirror them.

Speaking to People, Tyler said he is "most excited for audiences to see how these characters have matured and how their love for each other took them through some really hard times."

He added, "It's a wonderful reminder of how people grow, change, mature and settle into what marriage is and not what we think it is when we're young."

Returning cast members include Lamman Rucker, Sharon Leal, Jill Scott, Richard T. Jones, Tasha Smith and Michael Jai White.Taraji P. Henson joins the franchise as newcomer Roselyn, the groom's mother.

"This was one of those projects that I knew I had to say yes to, not just because of Tyler, but because of this entire cast," Taraji told People. "It's also not every day that you get to work with one of your best friends, so sharing scenes with my girl Tasha Smith was amazing. We almost had too much fun!"

Describing her character, she said, "She's actually been friends with the group for a long time.  She's the fierce, powerful businesswoman who travels with the group to Lake Como to see her son get married ... and let's just say, may be traveling with some extra baggage of her own!"
