Sir David Attenborough’s 100th year is proving to be just as remarkable as the career that came before it. The legendary broadcaster and natural historian continues to receive major recognition for his contribution to television and his lifelong work inspiring people to care about the natural world. Attenborough turned 100 on May 8, 2026, reaching the extraordinary milestone after more than seven decades in broadcasting. Rather than slowing down, he has continued to work on new projects while celebrating a century of life filled with exploration, storytelling and environmental advocacy.  His latest recognition comes through two major television award nods. Attenborough has been nominated for a 2026 Primetime Emmy Award, making him the oldest-ever nominee in the history of the awards. He received the nomination for his work as a narrator, adding another remarkable achievement to an already impressive list of honours.  He has also received his first-ever nomination for the National Television Awards. Attenborough is shortlisted in the TV Presenter category alongside well-known names including Ant and Dec, Claudia Winkleman, Alison Hammond and Stacey Solomon. The winners will be announced at the NTA ceremony at London’s O2 Arena on September 8.  The recognition comes during an especially busy year for the broadcaster. Several projects have been released to celebrate his centenary, including Wild London, Secret Garden and A Gorilla Story. The latter sees Attenborough return to the story of gorillas he first encountered while filming Life on Earth in Rwanda decades ago.  His 100th birthday was also marked with a major celebration at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The BBC event brought together musicians, celebrities and environmental figures to honour his extraordinary contribution to television and natural history. Attenborough said he had expected to celebrate quietly but was overwhelmed by the enormous number of birthday messages he received.  Institutions around the world have also joined the celebrations. Kew Gardens praised his lifelong commitment to plants, fungi and biodiversity, while the Natural History Museum named a newly discovered parasitic wasp Attenboroughnculus tau in his honour.  Attenborough’s influence extends far beyond television awards. Through programmes such as Life on Earth, Blue Planet and Planet Earth, he has helped generations understand the beauty and fragility of the planet. At 100, his latest nominations show that his voice and influence remain as powerful as ever. His extraordinary year is not simply a celebration of age, but a reminder of a lifetime spent bringing the wonders of nature into people’s homes.

  Fans of Landman have plenty to look forward to as the Paramount+ drama moves toward its highly anticipated third season. The Taylor Sheridan and Christian Wallace-created series has officially been renewed, and recent updates suggest that the next chapter of the hit oil drama is taking shape. Paramount+ confirmed the renewal in December 2025 after Landman delivered strong viewing numbers for the streaming service. The third season will continue to be executive produced by Sheridan, Wallace, David C. Glasser and several other members of the creative team.  The biggest question for viewers has been when the new episodes will arrive. Paramount+ has confirmed that season 3 is coming, but the streamer has not announced an official premiere date. Its own update notes that both previous seasons launched in November, although that pattern does not guarantee the same release window for the new season.  Production timing has also become an important part of the conversation. Earlier expectations pointed toward a quicker return, but reports indicate that filming has been pushed later than initially anticipated. That has raised the possibility that viewers may have to wait until 2027 rather than seeing the season in late 2026.  There is, however, plenty of story left to explore. Season 2 ended with major changes for Billy Bob Thornton’s Tommy Norris. After being pushed out of M-Tex, Tommy joined forces with his son Cooper and Danny Morrell to establish a new oil business. At the same time, Demi Moore’s Cami became an increasingly powerful figure at M-Tex, setting the stage for a new professional rivalry.  Thornton is expected to return as Tommy, while other familiar faces are also likely to continue their stories. However, Paramount+ had not yet officially announced the complete season 3 cast in its April update.  Christian Wallace has previously expressed enthusiasm about continuing the series, saying there is still plenty of story to tell. He suggested that the show has significant “runway” remaining as long as the characters and story continue to develop in worthwhile ways.  That approach could make season 3 particularly exciting. Tommy is no longer simply trying to survive inside someone else’s oil empire. He is now building something of his own, while facing new business dangers and complicated family relationships. For now, fans will have to remain patient for an official premiere announcement. What is clear is that Landman is not going anywhere. With Paramount+ backing another season and the story entering a completely new phase, season 3 could become one of the show’s biggest chapters yet.

Nicola Coughlan has offered fans a rare and sweet glimpse into her relationship with boyfriend Jake Dunn, revealing that the couple found an easy way to stay close despite their demanding acting careers. The Bridgerton star recently opened up about Dunn’s unexpected decision to remain with her in Malta while she filmed her upcoming movie The Magic Faraway Tree. Rather than spending weeks apart, the couple managed to turn Coughlan’s work trip into a memorable time together. “He actually was in Malta the whole time I was filming, so I can’t complain,” Coughlan told E! News. She explained that Dunn initially traveled to Malta to visit her while he was taking a break from filming. However, the visit quickly became something more. “He came for a visit and then stayed,” she recalled. “He was on a break from filming at that time. He’s like, ‘I think I’m gonna stay.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, stay!’”  Coughlan described the period as a particularly happy memory. Her co-stars, including Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy, also had loved ones around during filming, creating a warm atmosphere away from the usual pressures of a movie set. “It’s a very happy memory, that time. It was lovely,” she said.  The couple have been romantically linked since 2024 and have generally preferred to keep their relationship away from the spotlight. Coughlan has previously spoken about how uncomfortable she felt after paparazzi photographs of her and Dunn appeared online, saying the level of attention surrounding her private life could feel overwhelming.  Despite that scrutiny, Coughlan has gradually shared small details about their romance. In March 2026, she discussed how they manage their long-distance relationship, explaining that they make an effort to stay connected through FaceTime and the videos she sends Dunn. She also praised the fact that he has his own interests and busy schedule.  Coughlan and Dunn eventually made their relationship Instagram official in February 2025 before making their red-carpet debut at a BAFTA Television event in April of the same year.  Now, Coughlan’s latest comments show a softer side of their relationship. Her admission that she “can’t complain” about having Dunn by her side in Malta suggests that their romance is built around making the most of the limited time they have together. With The Magic Faraway Tree arriving in cinemas on August 21, Coughlan is entering another busy chapter professionally. But if her latest comments are any indication, she has found a simple way to make the journey more enjoyable: having someone she loves close by.

Hayden Panettiere’s tragic death has brought renewed attention to the actress’s complicated relationship with Brian Hickerson, including a legal setback he faced only days before her passing. Panettiere, best known for Heroes and Nashville, died at the age of 36 on August 16, 2026. Her death remains under investigation, and authorities have said there were no initial signs of foul play. An autopsy reportedly found no signs of trauma, while the official cause of death has not yet been determined.  Just three days before Panettiere died, a judge rejected Hickerson’s request to reduce his previous felony domestic abuse convictions to misdemeanors and have them dismissed. The ruling came during a hearing on August 13, according to reports citing the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.  Hickerson had pleaded no contest in April 2021 to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or girlfriend. The charges followed a series of incidents involving Panettiere between 2019 and 2020. He was originally facing eight felony counts connected to the alleged abuse.  As part of his 2021 sentence, Hickerson received 45 days in county jail, four years of formal probation, 52 domestic violence classes and a five-year restraining order. He ultimately served 33 days after receiving credit for time previously spent in custody.  The legal history has resurfaced because of its timing. Hickerson had previously tried to have the felony convictions reduced or dismissed in 2025, but that request was also unsuccessful. His latest petition noted that he had completed the conditions of his probation.  Panettiere had spoken publicly about the abuse in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. She described how difficult it was to completely break away from an abusive relationship. Hickerson later acknowledged responsibility for some of the incidents discussed in the book, while also reflecting on his own struggles with substance abuse.  The pair’s relationship began in 2018 and continued on and off for several years. Despite their turbulent history, they later reconnected, with Hickerson publicly discussing their relationship and acknowledging that they were not necessarily good for each other.  Hickerson was reportedly with Panettiere around the time of her death, adding another layer of public interest to their complicated history. However, there is currently no evidence that Hickerson was responsible for Panettiere’s death, and authorities have not indicated that the two matters are connected.  As fans continue mourning Panettiere, her past struggles are once again receiving attention. Yet her legacy extends far beyond her difficult personal experiences. Through Nashville, Heroes and other performances, she left behind a career that made a lasting impression on audiences around the world.

Blake Lively has shared a heartfelt message following the tragic death of Hayden Panettiere, while also remembering her late friend and former co-star Michelle Trachtenberg. The actress used the emotional moment to encourage people to show more kindness and compassion toward one another. Lively shared a video on her Instagram Stories featuring scenes from the 2005 Disney movie Ice Princess. The film starred both Panettiere and Trachtenberg, who played rivals before their characters ultimately became friends. Lively appeared alongside both actresses in the movie, making the footage an especially meaningful reminder of their connection.  Alongside the video, Lively expressed gratitude for the joy the two women had brought to audiences. She also urged her followers to “be kind,” highlighting the importance of remembering that people may be dealing with private struggles that others cannot see.  Panettiere died on August 16, 2026, at the age of 36. The actress was known for major roles in Heroes, Nashville and the Scream franchise. Her family described her as a “force of nature” who brought immense love and joy to those around her.  Her death has prompted an outpouring of grief from friends and former co-stars. Connie Britton, Viola Davis, Selma Blair and several other stars have shared memories of Panettiere, remembering her talent, warmth and determination.  For Lively, the loss also carried echoes of another heartbreaking Hollywood tragedy. Michelle Trachtenberg, who worked with Lively on Gossip Girl, died in February 2025 at the age of 39. Lively previously paid tribute to Trachtenberg, describing her as a deeply kind and fiercely loyal person whose presence could immediately change the energy in a room.  Trachtenberg’s death was later determined to have resulted from complications of diabetes. Her passing deeply affected the Gossip Girl cast, with Lively among those who publicly remembered her.  By placing Panettiere and Trachtenberg together in her latest tribute, Lively appeared to reflect on the fragility of life and the importance of appreciating people while they are still here. Her message comes at a difficult time for Panettiere’s loved ones and fans. The actress had recently opened up about her life and struggles in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, giving audiences a more personal understanding of the experiences behind her public image.  Lively’s tribute ultimately focused less on celebrity and more on humanity. Her call for kindness serves as a reminder that compassion can matter deeply, especially when someone’s private struggles are not visible to the outside world.

Paris Jackson is opening up about one of the darkest periods of her teenage years, revealing previously undisclosed details about her experience at a treatment facility after a suicide attempt at age 15. The singer and actress recently described her time at a Utah treatment center as a deeply distressing experience. Jackson said the facility, which was supposed to help her recover, instead left her with additional emotional wounds. Her comments offer a rare look at the difficult experiences she faced during her adolescence. (The News⁠) Jackson has spoken publicly before about struggling with her mental health as a teenager. After the death of her father, Michael Jackson, in 2009, she faced intense grief while growing up under constant public attention. At 15, she attempted suicide and later received treatment. In her latest account, Jackson described the facility as a place where she felt trapped rather than supported. She recalled eventually escaping from the Utah facility, despite being warned about what could happen if she tried to leave. The experience appears to have had a lasting effect on her. Jackson has previously discussed being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after attending a treatment program, and she has also expressed solidarity with other people who have described harmful experiences in youth treatment facilities. Her story highlights a complicated part of mental health treatment that is often overlooked. While professional care can be essential during a crisis, Jackson’s experience shows why young people need environments where they feel safe, respected and genuinely heard. Over the years, Jackson has continued working to rebuild her life and establish an identity separate from her famous family. She has pursued music, modeling and acting, while becoming increasingly open about her experiences with addiction, grief and mental health. Her recovery has not been presented as a simple journey. Instead, Jackson has described difficult setbacks alongside periods of growth. In 2020, she spoke about how songwriting helped her process painful emotions and turn difficult experiences into something creative. (ABC News⁠) Jackson’s willingness to discuss her past also gives fans a different perspective on the person behind the headlines. Growing up as Michael Jackson’s daughter brought enormous attention, but her struggles were deeply personal. Her latest revelations are particularly significant because they show that seeking help does not always mean every treatment experience feels healing. Jackson’s account reinforces the importance of compassionate and appropriate care, especially for vulnerable teenagers. Today, she continues to focus on her music and personal growth. By speaking honestly about the painful chapters of her past, Jackson is also helping start conversations about mental health, trauma and the importance of finding safe ways to recover.

Hayden Panettiere’s death at just 36 has left fans mourning a star whose life was marked by remarkable success as well as deeply personal struggles. The actress, best known for Heroes and Nashville, died on August 16, 2026, and new reports have drawn attention to the serious health problems she experienced during the months before her passing. Panettiere’s final period was reportedly far more difficult than many fans realized. Reports have described severe health issues that affected her ability to move comfortably and left her struggling physically. Her health concerns have now become an important part of the conversation surrounding her sudden death. (Page Six⁠) The actress had been open throughout her life about some of her personal battles, particularly her struggles with addiction and the emotional challenges she experienced. However, she did not publicly reveal every detail of what she was going through physically in the months leading up to her death. Panettiere’s career began when she was a child, eventually leading to major roles that made her a household name. She gained widespread recognition as Claire Bennet on Heroes before taking on the role of country singer Juliette Barnes on Nashville. Her performance on the musical drama earned her critical attention and a devoted following. Away from television, Panettiere also appeared in the Scream franchise and several other films. Her career demonstrated her versatility as both an actress and performer. Her personal life, however, was frequently the subject of public attention. Panettiere spoke honestly about addiction, motherhood, relationships and trauma in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. She also discussed how difficult experiences had affected her physical and emotional wellbeing. Following her death, reports have emphasized that there were no immediate indications of foul play. Authorities are continuing to establish the precise circumstances surrounding her passing, meaning claims about a specific medical cause should be treated carefully until official findings are released. The renewed focus on Panettiere’s health also highlights how little the public can know about what celebrities experience privately. Even while appearing at public events and communicating with fans, she may have been dealing with serious difficulties away from the cameras. For those who grew up watching Heroes or followed Juliette Barnes’ journey on Nashville, Panettiere’s passing represents the loss of a familiar face who had been part of popular culture for decades. Her final months may have been difficult, but her legacy is much larger than her struggles. Panettiere leaves behind memorable performances, a powerful story of survival a countless fans who will remember the energy and vulnerability she brought to the screen.

The reality star and SKIMS founder recently shared a collection of vacation photos on Instagram, capturing sunny beach moments, family time and intimate snapshots with the Formula 1 champion.

Kardashian’s own children also appeared in the vacation pictures, enjoying activities such as surfing and playing on the beach.
