Looks like Taylor Sheridan's riding off into the sunset ... when it comes to his time at Paramount, at least.

The writer-producer's set to ditch his longtime home at Paramount to produce content over at NBCUniversal, according to Puck.

Longtime jazz drummer Jack DeJohnette, who played with greats like Miles Davis and Chick Corea, died on Sunday.

The musician died at his home in Woodstock, New York, and he was surrounded by friends and family in his last hours, reports The Independent. His personal assistant reportedly stated the cause of death was congestive heart failure.

DeJohnette's musical career started at an early age, and he played piano and sang in doo-wop groups before he began playing drums in various jazz combos, according to The Guardian.

The drummer began working with Davis in the late 1960s, right when the trumpet player began moving away from traditional jazz and began working in influences from other genres of music.

DeJohnette remained with Davis' group until 1971, and he later collaborated with artists like Sonny Rollins and Herbie Hancock.

He received a Grammy Award for Best New Age Album in 2009, and he won a second Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album in 2022.

The drummer also played piano on various recordings over the years, and he performed a solo concert utilizing the instrument in 2024, according to The New York Times.

DeJohnette was 83 years old.

It looks like Cheryl Hines felt the heat after news dropped her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was involved in a sexting scandal ... because she dished on the whole thing in an upcoming episode of "The Katie Miller Podcast," an excerpt of which was shared on Friday.

ICYMI ... RFK Jr. caused a storm of controversy in his 2024 presidential bid when former New York Magazine political correspondent Olivia Nuzzi, who was ostensibly profiling the candidate, said some of their conversations had "turned personal," according to The New York Times.

Nuzzi claimed her connection with RFK Jr. had never been physical, though at the time there were rumors of "FaceTime sex" and exchanges of personal photos. She said they'd only met in person once. She was ultimately placed on leave and left New York Magazine.

Cheryl characterized the year her husband ran for president as full of "chaos and more rumors," and described the experience of working through all the craziness associated with that time as "a lot."

When Hines was asked about how she decided what was worth responding to at the time, she said she'd "consider the source" before having a conversation with her husband, where most matters were resolved.

Cheryl, asked about her feelings about Nuzzi's upcoming book, said it's not very high up on her list of priorities.

Emman Atienza built up a considerable fanbase as an influencer active on several social media platforms. As TMZ reported, the social media personality died this week.

We're going to take a look at the influencer's background and see how she made a name for herself prior to her death.

Emman was born in the Philippines, where she was raised and lived most of her life.

Emman's mother, Felicia, has worked as a fitness advocate and influencer for several years.

Emman was raised with a brother named Jose and a sister named Eliana.

Although Emman joined Instagram in 2015, she didn't really become an influencer until much later down the line.

She built up a following of 258,000 on Instagram, and she later started a TikTok account, which had nearly 944,000 followers at the time of her death.

Emman announced she'd be taking a break from social media in September to focus on her mental health. She resumed posting on TikTok after just a week away, according to People.

She moved with her family to Los Angeles in the summer of 2025.

Emman's death at the age of 19 was revealed in a joint Instagram post shared on the accounts of her parents and siblings Thursday.

Bannon claimed there are plans in place to make sure 47 will stay in the White House, and he also said the odds of Trump staying in office are better than in 2016 and 2024.

Trump also brought up the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act -- which allows military personnel deployed on U.S. soil to assume law enforcement duties, but is not the same as "martial law."
