Oscars under high security for ceremony, Chaz Bono gets married and more

Forty years in the making: Chaz Bono marries first love

Some love stories just need time. Chaz Bono, 57, married Shara Blue Mathes on Sunday at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles — decades after the two first met as teenagers at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. “I think it’s safe to say that not many grooms ultimately end up marrying the very first girl they ever kissed so many years later,” Mr. Bono told People. The couple rekindled their romance in 2017. Cher, 79, was front and center in the front pew to watch her son say “I do,” though the pop legend managed to generate a few headlines of her own, after a large diamond ring spotted on her left hand sent fans into a tailspin over whether she had secretly gotten engaged to partner Alexander Edwards.

’Malcolm in the Middle’ is back — and life is still unfair

Nearly two decades after Malcolm stormed off Fox, Hulu has dropped a new trailer for “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” and the chaos hasn’t aged a day. The four-episode limited series reunites Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Chris Masterson, and Justin Berfield, with Caleb Ellsworth-Clark stepping into the role of Dewey following Erik Per Sullivan’s departure from the project. The revival picks up with a grown Malcolm having successfully cut his family out of his life — until Hal and Lois drag him back for their 40th anniversary party. All four episodes drop April 10 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

Labrinth torches ’Euphoria,’ and the whole industry, on his way out

With “Euphoria” Season 3 less than a month away, composer Labrinth has lit a match on his way out the door. In a cryptic late-night Instagram post, the Emmy-winning musician wrote that he is “done with this industry,” taking shots at both Columbia Records and the HBO drama before signing off with “thank you and good night.” Labrinth had full creative control over the show’s score across its first two seasons, blending gospel, electronic, and hip-hop into a sound inseparable from the series’ identity — but last July, Hans Zimmer was announced as a co-composer for Season 3. Neither Columbia Records nor HBO has commented; Labrinth’s representatives have not responded to press inquiries. Season 3 is still set to premiere April 12.

Kate Hudson is back at the Oscars 

Twenty-five years after her first Oscar nomination for “Almost Famous,” Kate Hudson is back in the Academy’s conversation for her role as a Milwaukee hairdresser-turned-Neil Diamond tribute performer in “Song Sung Blue.” The Best Actress race has, however, been largely settled for months: Jessie Buckley’s work in Chloe Zhao’s “Hamnet” has swept the major precursors and is widely considered a lock heading into Sunday’s ceremony. Hudson is a sentimental favorite — her mother, Goldie Hawn, won Best Supporting Actress in 1970 — but the numbers aren’t in her favor. Gold Derby currently gives Buckley a 100% chance of winning the category.

FBI drone threat puts 2026 Oscars on high alert

Hollywood’s biggest night is arriving with a serious security shadow. The FBI has warned California law enforcement that Iran could potentially retaliate for recent U.S. military actions by launching drones toward the West Coast, prompting Oscars organizers to significantly tighten security for Sunday’s ceremony at the Dolby Theatre.
