A couple of newbies have been unofficially canceled (aka bumped from the schedule entirely or moved to—shudder—Saturday night). The TV gods giveth and the TV gods taketh.  So far, the fate of seven new offerings have been decided, including The CW's buzzy  Dynasty revival,  The Big Bang Theory 's spinoff  Young Sheldon  and  David Boreanaz 's return to TV.

Looks like Meek Mill ain't winning this time. The Philly rapper has reportedly been ordered to appear in court on Monday (Nov. 6) due to a number of probation violations pertaining to his previous drug and weapons case, TMZ reports. The problem is, Meek’s latest indiscretions could ensure him at least two years in the slammer. Meek’s probation stems from a 2008 drug and gun conviction, which he originally served eight months for. His freedom was most recently put in jeopardy when he was arrested for recklessly driving a dirt bike around New York City in Aug. 2017. Shortly before that, in Mar. 2017, he was taken into custody for fighting at a St. Louis airport.  Unfortunately for the  Dreams and Nightmares artist, this isn’t the first time he’s disobeyed the terms of his probation. In 2015, Meek skipped town to perform at a concert in Pennsylvania without alerting his probation officer. The stunt resulted in a 90-day house arrest and his probation was extende...

Ava DuVernay thinks Hollywood "intentionally" choose not to hire black actors or filmmakers. The 'Selma' director believes the film industry is putting "effort" into excluding men and women of colour from having their own chance at fame and fortune. She said: "I would say that it's quite intentional. You're basically saying, 'This is what we want, and this is what we're going to have.' There's no way you can tell me that there hasn't been effort put into exclusion." DuVernay set up her own organisation, Array Now, back in 2010, where she funds a number of movies by minority directors. She added: "I wanted to make films about the interiority of women of colour, people of colour, and I knew there wasn't a large market out in the studio system for those kinds of films, so I decided to just distribute on my own. "It started as a function of survival. I just finance it from my directing money an...
