  • ‘The Wire’ and ‘The Sopranos’ actor was 84

    ‘The Wire’ and ‘The Sopranos’ actor was 84

    Charley Scalies Jr., a 1990s and 2000s actor best known for his role on “The Wire” and appearances on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and “The Sopranos,” has died. He was 84.

    Scalies died “peacefully” after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease on May 1, according to an obituary. His family said the actor was “best known first and foremost as a husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend” and “whose life reflected a rich blend of professional achievement, creative passion and a true joy for life.”

    USA TODAY has reached out for more information.

    Scalies starred in stage plays and later the Al Pacino film “Two Bits” in 1995. He played Thomas “Horseface” Pakusa, an incarcerated former cargo checker from labor union IBS Local 1514, on Season 2 of the hit HBO crime drama “The Wire.” He played Tony Soprano’s high school football coach, Coach Molinaro, on HBO’s other hit crime drama “The Sopranos” a year later in 2004.

    Other credits include an appearance on the series “Homicide: Life on the Street,” and the films “12 Monkeys” (1995), “Liberty Heights” (1999) and “Jersey Girl” (2004).

    He made two separate appearances on “SVU”: as Bert Ferrara in 2006 and Dock Foreman in 2008. The latter was among his last acting credits, in addition to an appearance on “Cold Case” as Rusty Jenkins.

    Why after 25 years, ‘The Sopranos’ is greatest TV drama of all time

    But the actor’s “favorite audience was always seated around the dinner table,” his family wrote.

    The former business executive and consulting firm founder is survived by his wife, Angeline Scalies, and five children: Charles Scalies III, Angeline Kogut, Anthony Scalies, Christa Ann Scalies and Anne Marie Scalies. The actor had four grandchildren.

    Sydney Sweeney is living it up in Las Vegas.

    The actress was seen out with Machine Gun Kelly and fellow “White Lotus” alum Patrick Schwarzenegger in a photo she posted on her Instagram stories at the grand opening of the Palm Tree Beach Club in Las Vegas on May 3, according to People and TMZ. The outing comes days after the star partied with friends and took pictures with Paris Hilton, Lance Bass and Luke Combs while attending Stagecoach in Indio, California, on April 29.

    The appearances come months after the “Euphoria” actress and fiancé Jonathan Davino are facing breakup rumors after around seven years of dating. Neither has publicly commented on the possible split.

    USA TODAY has reached out to Sweeney’s reps for comment.

    Here’s a look at their relationship timeline.

    2018: Sydney Sweeney first linked to Jonathan Davino

    Sweeney and Davino, a Chicago-born businessman and movie producer, were first linked together in 2018 after the pair was spotted at multiple events together. The following year, the actress made her “Euphoria” debut, a breakout role for the star who also had credits on “The Handmaid’s Tale” and the dramedy “Everything Sucks!”

    2022: Sydney Sweeney spotted with ring on that finger

    As Sweeney’s star rose, her relationship with Davino appeared to culminate in an engagement, as the actress was spotted with a diamond on her left ring finger. Sweeney has rarely spoken publicly about her relationship, but multiple outlets reported at the time that the couple was excited about moving to the next step as a couple.

    2024: Sydney Sweeney, Jonathan Davino co-produce ‘Immaculate’ together

    “Immaculate,” a 2024 supernatural horror film starring Sweeney, Álvaro Morte, Simona Tabasco, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano and Giorgio Colangeli premieres at South by Southwest on March 22, 2024. Sweeney and Davino both helped produce the film.

    2023-2024: Sydney Sweeney, Glen Powell ‘lean into’ dating rumors amid her engagement

    During the promotion of their romantic comedy “Anyone But You,” Sweeney and actor Glen Powell played up rumors they were having an affair.

    In the film, loosely adapted from William Shakespeare’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” Powell and Sweeney play ex-flames who begrudgingly reconnect at a wedding in Australia. When it debuted in the U.S. in December 2023, “Anyone But You” was far from a box office hit with a reported $6 million in ticket sales over opening weekend.

    Two months later, the Will Gluck-directed feature crossed the $200 million milestone in global ticket sales and became the highest-grossing R-rated romantic comedy since “Bridget Jones’s Baby,” released in 2016, according to Variety. The film’s success can be attributed, in part, to the leading couple stoking rumors and making headlines with steamy photos and flirty comments, which sparked speculation about a romance on set. Both actors repeatedly denied the rumors.

    Powell later admitted the plan, orchestrated by Sweeney, “worked wonderfully.”

  • ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ star talks sexual abuse

    ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ star talks sexual abuse

    play

    Mikayla Matthews never grew up talking about her trauma. But that’s all changing now.

    The 24-year-old, a star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” discloses she was sexually abused as a child on Season 2 of the breakout reality series (streaming May 15 on Hulu). She peels back the layers of her abuse over the course of several devastating scenes in the season’s third episode: The abuse occurred over four or five years; she told her mother about the abuse in 2015 and wasn’t believed; this in turn caused her to be hesitant of telling anyone anything or expressing any emotion – a cycle she wants to stop.

    “I don’t want my kids to grow up with the same trauma that I was shown growing up,” she says over a recent phone call. “I want them to have the skills to express their emotions and to be emotionally mature.”

    In case you missed: ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ is scandalous. It’s not the whole story.

    ‘It’s been absolute hell’

    “Mormon Wives” features a group of Utah influencers known as “#MomTok,” whose friendship and relationship ups and downs made for binge-watching gold when it premiered in 2024. Part of what made it work? The jumps from light to heavy topics – something for everyone, and a reflection of reality.

    “We might be having a serious conversation, and we just can’t help but be silly, because it’s what helps us feel comfortable,” Matthews says. “We really trauma bond on the show.”

    This season, viewers watch Matthews open up about her trauma in a conversation with her sisters as well as a therapist. They’re powerful scenes that showcase just how vulnerable she’s willing to be. Her on-camera chat with her sisters was the first time they’d ever discussed the abuse.

    She’s publicly talked about her health before, but hasn’t connected the dots much until now. Matthews – a mother of three children, and expecting a fourth with husband Jace Terry – was a bit of a background player in Season 1 while dealing with a chronic, mysterious skin issues.

    “It’s been absolute hell,” she says. “It’s been like a roller coaster and a wild goose chase.” A litany of tests later – blood tests, stool tests, gut tests, you name it – failed to produce any answers to her illness.

    “I got to a point where I just wanted to give up, because I was going to so many dermatologists, she adds. “I was going to my dermatologist office just crying, just begging them to give me any answers to help me, and I wasn’t getting that. So it was really frustrating.”

    Once she started addressing her mental health and dealing with her past trauma, though, she’s experienced the most progress – “taking it into my own hands and trusting my own intuitions and in my body.” Research has shown a connection between stress and skin disease.

    She credits “Mormon Wives” with encouraging her to share her feelings. Doing so has both inflamed and quelled her skin problems.

    “When I am overly stressed, or when I go to therapy, and I’m talking about things that are really traumatic and hard, I will flare,” she says, noticing her “skin gets worse when I’m talking about these things, and then it’ll get better after, almost like a release.”

    Review: These modern day Mormons are getting real. But can they conquer reality TV?

    ‘I just think about my kids’

    Healing from her trauma has allowed her to process her emotions more effectively and not just shut down. While she can talk to her husband, siblings and the rest of #MomTok about it, “I think it’s OK for me to be that safe place for myself and feel comfortable just feeling those emotions.”

    The hardest part for her occurs during therapy, when she tries digging into her childhood self while she was being abused, now that she has children of her own. “I just think about my kids and what if it was happening to them,” she says.

    This has led to better communication with her husband, though. He steps in when she’s feeling overstimulated or she’s having trouble regulating her emotions in front of their kids.

    “Just having the conversations before and after and during, just while everything’s happening, has been the most helpful thing for us,” she says. “It’s hard. It’s hard to look at yourself and realize you’re doing things that are not great and things you don’t want to do, and it’s hard to take a look in the mirror and fix them. But I think just giving each other grace and having those conversations as it’s happening has been the most important, helpful thing.”

  • Tina Fey shares story behind Alan Alda cameo

    Tina Fey shares story behind Alan Alda cameo

    play

    Spoiler alert! This story contains minor details about the plot of Netflix’s “The Four Seasons” (now streaming).

    Decades before it became a streaming series, “The Four Seasons” was a 1981 movie written, directed by and starring Alan Alda.

    Tina Fey, who adapted the film for Netflix with Tracey Wigfield and Lang Fisher, wanted to find a way to pay homage to Alda through the show. So she recruited the “M*A*S*H” veteran for a brief cameo in the second episode, playing the widowed father of Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), who has planned a surprise vow-renewal party for her husband, Nick (Steve Carell).

    Alda’s beloved patriarch pops in to offer words of wisdom for Anne’s friends, Kate (Fey) and Danny (Colman Domingo), both of whom are facing marital obstacles.

    “Communication. Try not to fuss about the small stuff,” he says. “But my wife did have this one thing. … Every once in a while, we’d wake up and she’d say, ‘Congratulations. Take off your pants, it’s a sex day.’ You might try that with your spouse. They’d be so grateful and surprised.”

    ‘Four Seasons’: Who dies in Tina Fey’s Netflix comedy? And will there be a Season 2?

    For a while, Fey grappled with whom exactly Alda should play. She briefly considered having him return as an older version of his film character, Jack, who is portrayed by Will Forte in the new Netflix series. She notes how she played math teacher Ms. Norbury in both the 2004 and 2024 movie versions of “Mean Girls.”

    “To me, that was like, ‘Teachers see it all over and over again,’ which was how I justified it to myself,” Fey jokes. “But he can’t be the same guy – that would break the brain. So we made him Anne’s dad, and it was a thrill to spend a day on set with him. I was lucky enough years ago to work with him a little bit on ’30 Rock.’ He’s really gifted, has great timing and just came in ready to go.”

    Alda, 89, is an Emmy Award winner and Oscar nominee, with notable film roles including “The Aviator,” “Crimes and Misdemeanors,” “Manhattan Murder Mystery” and the apropos “Marriage Story.”

    “He’s just such a lovely person,” Fisher says. “We liked the idea of him, at some point, shedding some real wisdom onto our characters and talking about marriage, even a few decades ahead of where they are. It felt very fitting to see him early on, so you could take those pearls with you through the rest of the season.”

    Ahead of the series’ debut on Netflix, Alda reunited with Fey at New York’s Paris Theater for a screening of the “Four Seasons” movie. The actor, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2015, initially had no plans to speak before or after the film.

    “He loves you,” says actress Erika Henningsen, in a recent joint interview with Fey. “He got up, came down, and bestowed love and joy and gratitude on Tina, Tracey and Lang. He’s just an aspirational human being in every way.”

    Alda is one of a handful of “30 Rock” alums to work on “The Four Seasons,” including writers Fisher and Wigfield and actor Forte. The Emmy-winning NBC comedy, which signed off in 2013, was known for its biting satire and pop-culture commentary, with outrageous scenarios that feel somehow tame compared to what’s happening now in real life.

    “The world is now 40% ’30 Rock’ and 60% Mike Judge’s ‘Idiocracy,’” Fey says with a shrug, pointing to rowdy “Minecraft” audiences and Blue Origin’s all-women space flight. Although her latest project is a dramatic relationship comedy, she still gets the occasional itch to write for her “30 Rock” characters, particularly the dementedly self-absorbed actress Jenna (Jane Krakowski).

    “There are definitely times when I’m like, ‘Wow, that would’ve been a great Jenna storyline,” Fey says, smiling. “It’s almost always Jenna.”

    Connie Britton’s ‘The Motherhood’ created for her fellow single moms

    play

    For Connie Britton, mum’s frequently not the word; it’s the role.

    Supportive Tami Taylor on NBC’s “Friday Night Lights,” singing Rayna Jaymes on ABC’s “Nashville,” tech CFO Nicole Mossbacher on HBO’s “The White Lotus,” and more recently, mom from beyond Elizabeth in Netflix film “The Life List.” Up next, she’ll appear in the Amazon Prime comedy “Overcompensating,” debuting May 15, as the mom of a closeted college student (Benito Skinner).

    “I just kind of realized recently, I’m like, ‘Oh gosh, I’ve played a lot of moms. What’s that about?” Britton says with a laugh. The Emmy-nominated actress, 58, says she received an offer for her first mom role in her early 30s. She remembers being “so horrified at the idea, like, ‘How could I possibly be old enough to be playing a mom?’ Now, I love playing moms because every single mom I play, I try to understand each one as the unique human being that they are.”

    In real life, Britton is a mother to her teenage son Yoby, whom she adopted from Ethiopia in 2011. The following year, she moved to Nashville (where she didn’t know anyone) for the ABC drama and worked 16- to 18-hour days. Her experience as a single parent inspired Britton to create “The Motherhood,” a Hallmark Channel reality series enlisting the help of experts to make life easier for single moms, debuting May 5 (Mondays, 8 ET/PT).

    Britton describes “The Motherhood” in the show’s premiere as “a community of single moms created to provide support to one another when you need it the most.” Britton helped when a friend who worked in costumes on “Nashville,” a single mom to four kids, forgot to give her son lunch money. The actress dropped off money at his school.

    “And it was in that moment that I thought, ‘Gosh, it would be so great to create some kind of resource and community for single moms, where people could volunteer and just one day a week go grocery shopping for them or take care of the kids, or just do something that would give that mom a little bit of support and a little bit of help,’” she says.

    Over six hourlong episodes, Destini Ann Davis offers women parenting advice, Taryn Hicks elevates their style and Angela Rose makes their homes more beautiful and functional. (If the premise seems a little familiar, the show is produced by Scout Productions, also behind Netflix’s “Queer Eye.”)

    “The thing is – and this is the point of my show – you can’t just do it on your own,” Britton says. Single moms need community, she says, a support system. “I adopted my son and I’ve always been kind of an independent gal. So I sort of thought, ‘I got this,’ and I feel like I have a lot of maternal instincts, all the things. But when I suddenly was really the mother of an infant child and I was all by myself, it was quite an eye-opening experience.

    “The feeling of being alone in it was really profound,” she says. “And let me be clear, this is with me having the resources to be able to afford help. That, to me, is just an enormous privilege and blessing, and also, it doesn’t necessarily fill all the void. There’s still a lot of feeling of, ‘What am I supposed to do?’ and ‘I don’t know how to do this,’ which I think, by the way, that resonates for all parents.”

    The series premiere introduces viewers to Tasha, a professor with a 5-year-old daughter, Busy. Tasha’s living room is overrun with her daughter’s toys, and Tasha admits she “realized I don’t see myself in this house anymore.” She needs to create a space for herself in her home and reconnect to her identity outside of being a mom.

    An “overwhelmed and overextended” Rochelle is the focus of Episode 2. She has two young sons, Jacob and Owen, and works several jobs to support her family. Rochelle manages a foundation and is a parent aide for foster care. She has also started a T-shirt design company and balloon decorating business to save money for her sons’ college. Rochelle tells Connie, “I want my boys to see how resilient mommies can be.”

    Britton says she observed that each of the single moms featured “had real tangible change in their lives, from the things that they learned about themselves and the support that they were able to put in and the idea that they could actually ask for help.”

    One participant got a job after her episode, Britton says, and another went on a date.

    “All of these things where it’s like, they allowed themselves to be courageous enough to open up to the community that we were trying to provide and create,” she says. “And they have now run with that.”

    Beyoncé changes tour visuals after cease-and-desist from Sphere owner

    • Beyoncé altered visuals in her “Cowboy Carter” tour after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from Sphere Entertainment Group.
    • The original visuals depicted Beyoncé interacting with the Las Vegas Sphere, which the Sphere claimed was unauthorized use of their intellectual property.
    • The cease-and-desist letter fueled speculation about a potential Beyoncé residency at the Sphere.

    Beyoncé-Knowles-Carter made a change to the visuals used on her “Cowboy Carter” tour after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from Las Vegas Sphere owner James Dolan.

    The Grammy-winning singer took hold of the stage at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles for the third night of her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour on May 4. The groundbreaking concert seemingly went on without a hitch. However, there was a minor, yet significant, change in a visual involving the Sphere.

    In the original interlude, Beyoncé was seen towering hundreds of feet tall while striding through the Las Vegas skyline before she picks up and toys with the the Sphere. During Sunday night’s show, she replaced the Sphere visual with Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium — where she’ll close out her tour in July. And her Parkwood Entertainment company made sure to reiterate this by posting the new visual on Instagram during the show.

    Prior to the change, Sphere Entertainment Group Co. reportedly demanded the singer remove the visual by May 5, claiming she used Sphere’s imagery “without permission.” According to the letter, it amounted to “unauthorized use of the company’s intellectual property.”

    The entertainment group accused Beyoncé of “impermissible use and violation” of the company’s intellectual property rights, which “has resulted in significant speculation that Beyoncé will end her tour with a Sphere residency.”

    As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted her tour at SoFi Stadium in Los Angles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. Her second show took place May 1 on the same stage. The groundbreaking concert proved to be spectacle of many things including fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and political commentary.

    As fans know, Beyoncé first released the 27-track project in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé’s first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike. She became the first Black woman to win best country album at the 2025 Grammys and also took home album of the year.

    The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe with the grand finale taking place in Las Vegas on July 26. She’s set to make history again with her scheduled tour dates, including by playing the most dates at SoFi Stadium of any artist.

    Beyoncé hit the stage at SoFi Stadium for her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour on May 4. Leading up to the show, one of her Irish step dancers, Morgan Bullock, posted on social media to update fans on a recent injury she sustained during the second night of the megastar’s tour.

    In an Instagram story later reshared on social media, Bullock wrote: “Ya’ll to say I am devastated to have injured myself at show two would be the understatement of the century. Like I said, God always has a plan but this hurts like nothing else, and I’m not talking about the Achilles.” She shared a similar message on X, formerly known as Twitter.

    Details surrounding the specific injury are not clear. However, many fans made sure to share good wishes online. One wrote on X, “We wish her a speedy recovery and hope she returns as soon as possible.”

    Beyoncé’s second show took place on May 1. During the show, she moved some songs around and added more throwback tunes to her massive set list. Fans watching online and from the stadium seemed pleasantly surprised with the changes.
