Rihanna made an appearance at CinemaCon yesterday to reveal that she’s playing Smurfette in an upcoming Smurfs movie. She is also producing the movie and providing original songs.

New movies in theaters include ‘Big George Foreman: the Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World’… it’s a long title – let’s hope it lives up to the miraculous-ness.

Judy Blume’s ‘Are You there, God? It’s Me, Margaret’ comes to theatres, starring Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates along with Abby Ryder-Fortson as Margaret.

In ‘The Black Demon’, a family vacation turns into a living nightmare when they encounter a gigantic megalodon shark… and on streaming, ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ comes to Disney+

Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden star in the new spy series ‘Citadel’, debuting today on Amazon Prime… and on Sunday, the series adaptation of ‘Fatal Attraction’ comes to Paramount+, starring Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan.

In other headlines, talk show host Jerry Springer passed away yesterday from pancreatic cancer after a short illness. He was 79.

…and last night was the end of The Late Late Show with James Corden finally got hit by a car in his last ‘Crosswalk the Musical‘…yes, it finally happened (but not really).
