The 1976 action series "Charlie's Angels" was a massive success for a very simple reason: the lead actresses were dazzling. Yes, the premise was fun, but most of the show's fans will sooner talk about how the original Angels -- Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson, and Farrah Fawcett -- were objects of their crushes. The makers of "Charlie's Angels" seemingly spent just as much time filming the Angels running in slow-motion as they did setting up plots or working on character development. 

The series followed three recent graduates of the LAPD's police academy who, despite their excellent fighting and crime-stopping skills, are given menial, sexist jobs that do not challenge them. Instead, they pursue a job with a secretive private investigation company, run by a wealthy, off-screen benefactor named Charlie Townsend (John Forsythe). He gives them assignments in secret (Charlie has a lot of enemies) and nicknames them his "Angels." 

The series progressed for five seasons,...

Philip Rogers, a producer with credits including the 1960s ABC sitcom Love on a Rooftop and the 1988 action film Shoot to Kill, starring Sidney Poitier, has died. He was 90.

Rogers died Feb. 27 of leiomyosarcoma at his home in Las Vegas, his wife of 49 years, Stephanie Rogers, told The Hollywood Reporter.

As president of Century Park Pictures, Rogers served as an executive producer on Shoot to Kill, which was directed by Roger Spottiswoode and also starred Tom Berenger and Kirstie Alley.

Later, he headed the PhiliPiCo Pictures banner, where in 1996 and ’97 he developed and produced for Lifetime the telefilms The Haunting of Lisa, starring Cheryl Ladd, and The Hired Heart, starring Penelope Ann Miller.

After moving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in 2000, he produced another telefilm, the 2001 straight-to-video thriller Blind Terror, starring Nastassja Kinski.

Born on July 26, 1934, in Oxnard, California, Rogers as a youngster was signed to an acting contract at 20th Century Fox.

When Charlie’s Angels premiered in 1976, it wasn’t just another crime drama — it was a revolution.

For the first time, three women were the stars of an action-packed TV series, solving crimes, going undercover, and looking fabulous while doing it.

But beneath the glossy exterior of glamorous disguises and high-octane adventures, the show reflected the growing complexities of feminism in the 1970s.

It walked a tightrope between empowerment and exploitation, earning both praise and criticism.

Behind the scenes, contract disputes, casting shake-ups, and creative tensions added to the drama, while the Angels themselves became icons who transcended the small screen.

This is the story of how Charlie’s Angels broke barriers, set new standards, and left a legacy that continues to resonate.

A Glitzy Start: What Made It Revolutionary

When Charlie’s Angels debuted, TV audiences had never seen anything like it.

Women had starred in shows before — Diana Rigg...

Chuck Woolery, the charismatic game show host who kicked off the long run of Wheel of Fortune before spending 11 years playing matchmaker on Love Connection, has died. He was 83.

His friend and podcast co-host Mark Young told TMZ that Woolery died Saturday at his home in Texas, and he posted about it on X. No other details were immediately available.

Woolery started out in show business as a singer in the orchestral pop band The Avant-Garde, whose most famous song, “Naturally Stoned,” made it to No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968. The tune later served as the theme song for his (very) short-lived Game Show Network reality series in 2003.

After the Kentucky native performed “Delta Dawn” on The Merv Griffin Show, Griffin offered him a chance to audition as the host of a new game show he had just developed called Shopper’s Bazaar. Woolery beat out former 77 Sunset Strip...

With over 30 seasons, Dancing With the Stars has seen major celebrities put on dancing shoes for a chance to win the coveted mirrorball trophy. However, the dancing professionals responsible for making these celebs look like naturals on the dance floor have become famous in their own right.

Pros like siblings Julianne Hough and Derek Hough have become household names, while dancers Sasha Farber and Gleb Savchenko are making headlines for their showmances (and hilarious TikToks).

There have been several pros throughout the history of DWTS. Some have become more famous than others, but here's a low down on the pros that seemingly disappeared from the spotlight once they exited the show.

John Lasell, a character actor known for his television portrayals in Perry Mason (1957), The Twilight Zone (1959) and Dark Shadows (1966), has died in Los Angeles at the age of 95.

The news was confirmed by an obituary notice, which listed the death date as Oct. 4.

His last screen credit dates back to 1985, with the Emmy-nominated TV miniseries A Death in California, opposite Cheryl Ladd and Sam Elliott. He appeared in a handful of episodes in the aforementioned television classic Perry Mason (three in total), as well as one guest spot on The Twilight Zone. His most regular appearance was on the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, where he portrayed vampire hunter Dr. Peter Guthrie across 25 episodes.

Other notable TV appearances include Dallas, Falcon Crest, Lassie, Mannix, The Streets of San Francisco, The Mod Squad, Mission: Impossible (in 1972) and Gunsmoke. He was also in two episodes of Wagon Train and four episodes of the Emmy-winning show The Fugitive.

During the mid-1970s, television producer Aaron Spelling and the writing duo of Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts hit upon the most spectacularly novel idea: Viewers loved watching women solve crimes. The eureka moment occurred in 1974 when the great and ludicrously beautiful Angie Dickinson scored a primetime hit with "Police Woman." While I'd argue Dickinson could've burned up the Nielsen ratings via weekly readings of Russian literature shot at the Bob's Big Boy in Burbank, she was a must-watch sensation as a glamorously attired detective. Though the scripts were rigorously formulaic for a '70s hour-long cop show, Dickinson's showbiz rep attracted a host of top tier guest stars; "Police Woman" didn't have much of a hook, but thanks to its star, it had plenty of sizzle.

It took some prodding (ABC execs Barry Diller and Michael Eisner abhorred Spelling's pitch), but "Charlie's Angels" became the breakout hit of the 1976 season.

Dancing With The Stars pros are just like everyone else. However, many fans don’t expect to see them in real life. One DWTS fan got the surprise of their life after bumping into Louis van Amstel.

Many retired DWTS pros go on to teach dance classes at smaller studios around the country. Tony Dovolani is known to do it, and it seems that Louis van Amstel does as well.

So what did the fan think about the surprise encounter? Is it a sign that Louis will be back in the ballroom this September? Read on and see what happened.

A DWTS Fan Bumps Into Louis van Amstel In The Studio

Just like everyone else, Dancing With The Stars pros have a wide range of personalities. However, Louis van Amstel seems to be incredibly friendly and generous with his time.

On his Instagram page, he frequently poses with dance students and fans alike.

Richard Simmons, the goofy clown prince of fitness who turned his passion for weight loss into riches and fame as a Hollywood celebrity, has died. He was 76.

A rep for Simmons told The Hollywood Reporter that he died earlier Saturday at his home in Los Angeles. His cause of death wasn’t immediately available.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that personnel responded to a 911 call from Simmons’ home on Belfast Drive and arrived there at 9:57 a.m. on Saturday. The spokesperson added that “an investigation is still being conducted.”

“I don’t want people to be sad about my brother,” Lenny Simmons, Richard’s brother, shared in a statement.” I want them to remember him for the genuine joy and love he brought to people’s lives. He truly cared about people. He called, wrote, and emailed thousands of people throughout his career to offer help.

Each and every year, Dancing With The Stars features a new cast of professional dancers. Several dancers are familiar faces, while some are newcomers who intend to stick around for a while.

And on occasion, pros come out of retirement for one reason or another.

Mark Ballas returned to Dancing With The Stars to compete with Charli D’Amelio back in Season 31. The pair dominated the competition and easily won the Mirrorball Trophy.

Now, DWTS fans think one more former pro might come out of retirement for Season 33. Read on to get the scoop.

DWTS Gave A Former Pro A Special Birthday Shoutout

Although DWTS is about celebrities learning to dance, many viewers strongly connect with the pro dancers too. After all, they keep the show going and help their celebrity partners advance in the competition.

There have been many dancers who have come and gone over the years, but fans still have their favorites.

Al Onorato, who handled casting for such TV shows as Bewitched, The Partridge Family, Police Story and Fantasy Island and represented Mark Harmon, Kristin Chenoweth and others as a talent manager, has died. He was 88.

Onorato died April 21 in Los Angeles, his nephew Chris Onorato announced.

Onorato founded the Casting Society of America (then known as the American Society of Casting Directors) with Mike Fenton and Joe Reich in 1982, and he received a lifetime achievement award from the organization in 2019.

Onorato won the CSA’s Artios Award for best casting for a comedy film for Bagdad Café (1987), sharing it with Jerold Franks, his partner in Onorato/Franks Independent Casting.

Director McG is open to returning to helm a Charlie's Angels 3, despite the cancellation of previous plans for a third film. McG expressed his affection for the original stars of his movies, particularly Drew Barrymore, who stood up for him when he almost got fired.

Director McG has admitted he’s open to returning to helm a possible Charlie’s Angels 3, nineteen years after plans for both a third and fourth film were cancelled. Based on the 1970s television series of the same name, 2000’s Charlie’s Angels and its 2003 sequel Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle starred Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu as the titular trio of women working for the Townsend Agency.

Is “Dancing with the Stars” returning for Season 31?

Where is “Dancing with the Stars” airing?

After 16 years and 30 seasons on ABC, “Dancing” moved exclusively to Disney+ starting with Season 31. The news was announced in conjunction with the show’s two-season renewal. “Dancing” is the first live series to stream on Disney+. It premiered on Monday, Sept. 19. The finale will air on Monday, Nov. 22.

Some argue that Dancing With The Stars is a popularity contest and when it comes to this generation, social media is usually a good indication of who has the most fan support. With the latest season 31 available exclusive on Disney+ for the first time and voting open to Canadians as well, it’s anyone’s game.

When it comes to Instagram, some of the competing stars are more active and popular than others. All 16 cast members have a social media presence, and all have more than 75,000 followers. In fact, more than half of them have more than a million followers, and one contestant vying for the Mirror Ball trophy has 49 times that.

The stars and pros are waltzing and jiving on the dance floor once again as Dancing With The Stars season 31 returns, now streaming as the first live-streaming show to air on Disney+. So far, the new streaming home and format seems to suit the show well, and the cast is jam packed with a variety of talented stars.

The competition is fierce as there was already a three-way tie for first place with 32 points in episode two, which is an extremely high score to have that many times so early on in the competition. Bachelorettes and amazing dancers like Wayne Brady often go far, but this season they have Charli D'Amelio's TikTok following to compete with. Charli isn't the only star on the show with amazing social media content. The whole cast is on Instagram!

“Dancing with the Stars” judges may have saved country singer Jesse James Decker on “Prom Night.” No, she didn’t land in the bottom two and rely on the judges’ votes to keep her in the competition. Instead, they crowned her prom queen in the dance marathon. Her 11 bonus points for that marathon, combined with her dance scores and the votes of viewers at home, were enough to keep her out of the bottom two entirely. Will she stay out of trouble again on “Michael Buble Night“? Our users are divided.

As of this writing Decker leads our elimination predictions with 11/5 odds based on the combined forecasts of “DWTS” fans who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. She’s followed by “Jersey Shore” alum Vinny Guadagnino with 11/4 odds and then actor Trevor Donovan with 4/1 odds.

“Dancing with the Stars” ended “Bond Night” with a choice between two celebrities. The judges had to decide whether actress Cheryl Ladd or meteorologist Sam Champion would be saved from the bottom two and which would be eliminated. But according to the “DWTS” fans we polled this week, neither of those celebs should have been on the chopping block. Scroll down for our complete poll results.

Ladd first landed in the bottom two on “Elvis Night,” but the judges narrowly voted to save her, eliminating “Real Housewives” star Teresa Giudice instead. This time Ladd wasn’t so lucky. On “Bond Night” she danced a rumba that got praise from the judges with Derek Hough calling it her best dance and Bruno Tonioli telling her she got her sparkle back. Unfortunately, her total score of 24 out of 40 was still only good enough for 13th place out of the 14 remaining contestants on the judges’ leaderboard.

Sam Champion and Cheryl Burke were saved from elimination on “Dancing with the Stars” on Monday, but the pro would’ve been all right if the judges had voted the other way.

“With this season in particular, there’s peace along with the whole elimination process,” Burke told Us Weekly. “Like, normally I’m a nervous, sweaty wreck, but with Sam, if I’m looking at the actual ability of all the celebrities? We are very blessed to still be in this competition, to be quite honest, and Sam knows that.”

The pair landed in the bottom two for the first time this season after earning a 25 for their samba on Bond Night. The judges unanimously voted to save them, sending Cheryl Ladd and Louis van Amstel, who were in the bottom two for the second straight week, out the door. With Ladd’s exit, Champion, 61, is now the oldest contestant remaining in the competition.

Judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli served as the villains on “James Bond Night” on Dancing With the Stars as far as Cheryl Ladd and Louis van Amstel – and millions of Charlie’s Angels fans – are concerned. For the second week in a row, the Ladd and van Amstel found themselves in the bottom two in the dance competition reality series. The good news is that the judges unanimously voted to save a Cheryl…but the bad news for #TeamAngel is that they saved Cheryl Burke and her celebrity partner, ABC weatherman Sam Champion. TV Insider chatted with Ladd and van Amstel about their DWTS journey and also with a few pro dancers about the couple’s exit.

So she dug up an old photo of her and Sean Connery for inspiration so she can be “the Bond girl I never got to be” while performing a rumba. Elegant! “That was your best dance,” said judge Hough, who was particularly impressed with the graceful way she held her arms.

There was a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard on week three of “Dancing With the Stars” between Charli D’Amelio, Wayne Brady, and Gabby Windey as the stars danced to James Bond movie theme songs for Bond Night.

(Spoiler alert! This article reveals the results from Monday’s episode of “Dancing With the Stars” on Disney+.)

While Vinny Guadagnino earned the lowest scores of the evening, he was saved by the audience vote, who loved his spirited, if not technically perfect, rumba to “Thunderball.” Cohost Alfonso Ribiero gave Vinny to respond to Len Goodman’s “blocky” critique by doing his own review as the Brit: “It was rubbish, but he knocked my socks off,” said a game Vinny in his best British accent.

Former “Charlie’s Angels” star Cheryl Ladd and her partner Louis van Amstel have been eliminated from the competition, with all four judges opting to save Sam Champion & Cheryl Burke.

For the second week in a row “Dancing with the Stars” paid tribute to an icon. Last week was “Elvis Night,” and this week celebrated a fictional icon: Bond, James Bond. Scroll down for our live blog of “Dancing with the Stars” “Bond Night” where we discuss which performances were shaken and which were stirring.

In an unusual turn of events, more than half of the contestants were performing in the same dance style. Eight out of the 14 got slow and sensual rumbas: actress Selma Blair, TikTok star Charli D’Amelio, country singer Jessie James Decker, actor Daniel Durant, “Jersey Shore” alum Vinny Guadagnino, actress Cheryl Ladd, drag queen Shangela, and singer Jordin Sparks. That left six who were performing different routines. Dancing the Argentine tango were reality TV star Heidi D’Amelio and fitness model Joseph Baena. Actors Wayne Brady and Trevor Donovan performed regular tangos. Meteorologist Sam Champion got the notoriously difficult samba.

Charles Townsend Agency detective, Kris Munroe, played by Cheryl Ladd, escaped from a few tough spots during her four seasons on the hit ’70s series Charlie’s Angels. But none of them came close to the real-life danger Ladd was in last week on Dancing With the Stars when she and pro dance partner Louis van Amstel were in the bottom two and looking at being sent home. Judges Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli sided against Ladd and van Amstel. It appeared as if the show was going to say “Goodbye, Angel.” However, judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Len Goodman (whose vote carries more weight) opted to keep Ladd in the competition. On Monday, October 3, she and van Amstel are set to compete again on the dance floor in a James Bond-themed dance. TV Insider chatted with the underdogs about their off-screen friendship, their game plan to make a comeback, and...

The “Elvis Night” elimination on “Dancing with the Stars” went down to the wire with “Real Housewives” alum Teresa Giudice and actress Cheryl Ladd in the bottom two. Ladd survived (barely), but can she survive again when the remaining 14 celebs dance to music from the James Bond franchise? It’s not looking so good for her according to our odds.

Ladd gets leading odds of 3/2 of being eliminated from the competition based on the combined predictions of “DWTS” fans who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. But she came close to not being able to dance on “Bond Night” at all. In a split decision, judges Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli actually voted to save Giudice from elimination, while Carrie Ann Inaba and Len Goodman voted to save Ladd. It was a tie, but since head judge Goodman’s vote breaks ties, Ladd stayed in the competition while Giudice was ejected.

“Dancing with the Stars” ended its second week with a split decision: reality star Teresa Giudice and actress Cheryl Ladd were the bottom two after the judges’ scores and viewer votes were added together. But even though Ladd had the lower total judges’ score (and the lowest score out of all contestants), she was the one who ended up being saved. Did the judges make the right call? Scroll down for our complete poll results.

Giudice led our poll with just under half of respondents (48) saying she was rightly eliminated, which is similar to how it went down with the judges, who were split right down the middle. Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli voted for Giudice to stay, but Carrie Ann Inaba and Len Goodman voted to save Ladd. Since Goodman is the head judge, his vote breaks the tie, which meant Giudice was eliminated.

“Dancing with the Stars” will get shaken, not stirred, when it celebrates Bond Night on Monday’s episode.

To mark the 60th anniversary of the release of the first James Bond film, “Dr. No,” the top 14 will perform to Bond theme songs on Week 3. But you won’t hear one notable tune: Adele‘s “Skyfall” from the 2012 film of the same name and the first Bond theme to win the Best Original Song Oscar. The subsequent two Oscar-winning themes, Sam Smith‘s “Writing on the Wall” from 2015’s “Spectre” and Billie Eilish‘s title track to last year’s “No Time to Die,” will be represented on the show.

And with the moody nature of most of the tracks, you will not be shocked to learn that there will be lots of rumbas — eight of them, to be exact. Definitely a missed opportunity not to make it 007.

For the second week in a row,...

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has spoken out after her Dancing with the Stars exit to thank several important people in her life.

Teresa and her partner Pasha Pashkov were eliminated from DWTS this week after judge Len Goodman chose to save Cheryl Ladd and Louis van Amstel.

Following her exit from the show, Teresa revealed that she didn’t think Len liked her and knew he wouldn’t save her.

That’s not all she’s speaking out about either.

Tre used social media to acknowledge those that were there for her during her brief time in the ballroom.

The person at the top of the list wasn’t her new husband, Luis Ruelas, but rather her dancing partner.

“I thought it was a great theme night for all the contestants. Elvis is one of those artists who has timeless music, so I thought that his music really worked well,” says Cordell Martin about the Elvis Presley-themed episode of “Dancing with the Stars” that aired on September 26. “You saw a lot of progression for a lot of those contestants that scored at the bottom of the leaderboard last week. You also got to see a lot of the stars’ personalities come through this week.” Martin joined me and his fellow Gold Derby contributor Jeffrey Kare to discuss the latest dances — and the latest results — on the competition series.

Last week, Teresa Giudice found herself in the bottom two on Dancing With the Stars. The judges – Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli – unanimously voted to save her (over Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis) so she could compete in this week’s Elvis Presley-themed night. Alas, after earning just 23 points for her jive (to the Presley hit “All Shook Up”), she landed in the bottom two again and this time, she wasn’t so fortunate when it came to remaining on in the dance competition/reality series. While the judges were split on who to send home, Goodman’s vote carries more weight and he chose to save Charlies Angel star Cheryl Ladd and her pro partner, Louis van Amstel; as a result, Giudice and her pro partner Pasha Pashkov were sent packing. TV Insider was on the scene when Giudice spoke to...
