Patrick John Flueger is taking an unexpected leave of absence from Chicago P.D. for a personal matter, according to Deadline. Due to his sudden departure, they are rewriting the scripts to accommodate his temporary time off from the police procedural.
Flueger has been playing Adam Ruzek since season one. He is not the only original actor from Chicago One who is taking a leave of absence; Marlyne Barrett has not been seen on Chicago Med this season. In January 2023, Taylor Kinney was absent from Chicago Fire for the rest of that season and returned in the Fall.
Before we got to know Mark Ballas as a dancer on Dancing with the Stars, he was dancing with his schoolmates. How cute was the 5-year-old doing his best John Travolta in 1991?
Tonight on Dancing with the Stars, it was Wicked night. The dancers performed to songs from the Musical Wicked, as the movie’s director, Jon M. Chu, judged them alongside Derek Hough, Bruno Tonioli, and Carrie Ann Inaba.
To start off the night, the pros danced to a medley of songs from the two-time Oscar-winning film. It was such a big production that Derek, Julianne Hough, and Alfonso Ribeiro joined in to help them recreate the choreography for Dancing Through Life and What Is This Feeling?, which went viral last year.
You can say they were all defying gravity with a performance that I would not be surprised brings home the Emmy in September.
When it comes to went home, once again Andy Richter and Emma Slater were too popular to go home. And I am OK with that! Sorry to Scott Hoying and Rylee Arnold, who are no longer vying for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
Wicked: For Good dances its way into theaters on November 21st.
Selena’s story has been told as a movie and a series, and now it is going to be told as a documentary.
The definitive doc about Selena Quintanilla is almost here. Selena y Los Dinos: A Family’s Legacy, will tell the story of the beloved Mexican American artist and her family band, who started out performing at quinceañeras and ended up selling out stadium tours. Directed by Isabel Castro (Mija, Darlin), the documentary is executive produced by Michele Anthony and Selena’s siblings, Suzette Quintanilla and AB Quintanilla III, who also played drums and bass guitar in the band. The film chronicles the late star’s life and legacy through never-before-seen footage from the Quintanilla family’s personal archive.
It will be interesting to hear the singer and her family talk about her career and life that were cut way too short.
