After days of heavy rain in Los Angeles the sky finally clears just long enough for a very specific kind of miracle. Under a brief stretch of blue sky nearly two thousand hopeful actors models and dreamers strip down to swimsuits and flood the marina for an open casting call tied to the reboot of Baywatch. Red swimwear gleams in the sunlight bodies

glisten with oil and optimism hangs thick in the salty air. One thing is certain. You simply cannot wear a red Speedo in the rain and today at least the weather is cooperating.

The event takes place outside the Marina del Rey Marriott where people of every age and body type line up for a chance to be seen. Some jog toward lifeguard towers clutching their dignity along with their swimsuits. Others stretch in parking lots or jog slowly into cold water despite the chill. The temperature barely hits fifty degrees but the commitment is unwavering. Everyone wants to be the next icon like David Hasselhoff or Pamela Anderson and for forty five seconds of dialogue it feels possible.

Season 4 of Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer is easily the most intense and emotional chapter of the series so far. Based on Michael Connelly’s novel The Law of Innocence, the new season places Mickey Haller in the one position he has spent his entire career trying to keep others out of jail. From the opening episodes, the show makes it clear that this is not business as usual. Mickey loses his freedom, his prized Lincoln Continental at least temporarily, and nearly his sense of identity as he is charged with murder and forced to fight for his life.

CBS is preparing for a significant shift in its New York footprint as several of its best known productions prepare to leave their longtime offices. The newsmagazine 60 Minutes, along with CBS Sports and Inside Edition, will relocate from 555 West 57th Street as part of a broader real estate consolidation tied to Paramount Skydance.

A CBS spokesperson confirmed that the three productions will move to other offices in New York by early 2027. Staff members were informed of the decision roughly two weeks ago. The move marks the latest step in a gradual reduction of office space by the company over the past several years.

The staff of 60 Minutes will move across the street to the CBS Broadcast Center. The large facility, which once operated as a dairy depot, now serves as the central hub for much of CBS News and several production operations. In addition to housing CBS News and portions of CBS Sports, the building is home to shows hosted by Drew Barrymore and John Oliver, as well as CNN’s Have I Got News for You.

CBS Sports and Inside Edition are expected to relocate to 1515 Broadway. That building has long served as New York headquarters for the company previously known as Viacom and has housed a range of cable networks, including Nickelodeon and MTV. The consolidation reflects a broader strategy to streamline real estate holdings following corporate changes in recent years.
