Entertainment news today mixes politics, celebrity legacy and the business of live events.

Jimmy Kimmel says his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico will no longer air on ABC and will instead be released on YouTube.

U2 is set to be honored as MusiCares Persons of the Year for 2027 at the charity’s Grammy-weekend gala.

Peter Catt resigns as dean of Brisbane after controversy over reality television filming inside St John’s Cathedral.
