Live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City last night, P!nk hosted the Tony Awards<\/strong>, opening the show with more than 170 Broadway performers joining her\u00a0for\u00a0the opening number — a\u00a0rendition of \u201cLady Marmalade.\u201d\u00a0Meghan Thee Stallion and Neil Patrick Harris <\/strong>were also part of that. As for the awards, Best Musical was ‘Schmigadoon’<\/strong> and Best Play went to ‘Liberation’<\/strong> about the 1970s feminist movement. Best Leading Actor in a Play\u00a0went to John Lithgow, and Laurie Metcalf won Best Featured Actress in a Play, plus The Book of Mormon celebrated its 15th anniversary and Chicago its 30th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Scary Movie’<\/strong> scared off the competition on opening weekend finding itself at the top of the box office with an estimated $55 million in ticket sales. Coming in second was the weekend\u2019s other new opening, ‘Masters of the Universe’<\/strong> with $29.3 million, followed by the A24 horror ‘Backrooms.’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner<\/strong> got married — again! They hosted a\u00a0second wedding ceremony at a luxurious Italian villa, with over 200 guests including Elton John, Charli XCX, Mark Ronson, Joe Alwyn, Olivia Dean and Donatella Versace.\u00a0The three-day celebration reportedly cost an estimated $1.73 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoe Salda\u00f1a, Nicole Kidman<\/strong> and the crew will soon be back with a “demanding” season 3 of ‘Lioness’. The action-packed series from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan returns August 2nd to Paramount+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And British actor Anthony Head<\/strong> has died at the age of 72 from complications of pneumonia. He was perhaps best known on this side\u00a0of the Atlantic for his roles in ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’<\/strong> and in ‘Ted Lasso’ <\/strong>as Rupert, the former owner of AFC Richmond, and Rebecca’s ex-husband.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For Monday, June 8th: Live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City last night, P!nk hosted the Tony Awards, opening the show with more than 170 Broadway performers joining her\u00a0for\u00a0the opening number — a\u00a0rendition of \u201cLady Marmalade.\u201d\u00a0Meghan Thee Stallion and Neil Patrick Harris were also part of that.
