Brian Dennehy, a versatile character actor whose career spanned five decades, has died at the age of 81, his talent agency confirmed.

Dennehy, a two-time Tony Award winner who co-starred in a wide range of films, often in tough-guy roles, died of natural causes in Connecticut on Wednesday night, ICM Partners announced in a statement.In a tweet, his daughter described him as "larger than life" and "generous to a fault."
 
Dennehy co-starred in a long list of popular movies, including "First Blood" (as the local sheriff who clashes with Sylvester Stallone's Rambo), the western "Silverado," and the science-fiction classic "Cocoon." He played Chris Farley's dad in the comedy "Tommy Boy," and portrayed basketball coach Bobby Knight in a made-for-TV movie.

Since professional wresting won’t be back up and running for a while, might we suggest “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” in this time of need? 

The long-running reality TV series documenting the highs and lows of America’s thirstiest family reached a new low on Thursday night when sisters Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian got into a physical altercation during Season 18’s premiere episode.

The siblings have been at odds for years, warring over filming schedules, shifting family dynamics and who’s the “least exciting to look at” ― Kim thinks it’s Kourtney, in case you forgot their epic blowout from last season. 

Now, the KKW Beauty founder is breaking down the fallout from their latest clash and revealing the current status of their relationship. 

That’s a no, Bro.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo on Monday grilled his older brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), about rising speculation he might run for president. And the state leader, whose handling of the coronavirus pandemic is winning high marks, again made clear he has no plans to seek the White House ― several times. (Watch the video below.)

The sibling tension made for excellent prime time family drama.

The governor’s profile has risen as he hosts daily briefings during the coronavirus crisis and fights for more resources to battle the outbreak.

The Melrose Place star is back in rehab for the second time since her November 2018 hospitalization, according to multiple reports. ET has reached out to Locklear's attorney for comment. 

Locklear was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold in early November after EMTs arrived to her home following some type of episode. A source told ET a few leaks later that the situation had taken a toll on her family. 

CBS is defending its decision to renew the legal drama “Bull” starring Michael Weatherly, who was accused of sexual harassment last year, by noting that the actor is a father. 

The highly rated procedural was renewed for a fourth season despite former co-star Eliza Dushku claiming Weatherly regularly harassed her on set by making “cruel” and “aggressive” comments about sex, rape and her appearance in front of cast and crew members.
