The teenage daughter of actress Angie Harmon was arrested days after her high school graduation. Avery Sehorn, who is also the daughter of retired NFL cornerback Jason Sehorn, allegedly broke into the World Night Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The club owner reported that Sehorn and two 17-year-old boys entered the club through a back door and took $500 worth of alcohol. Avery, 18, was arrested on felony burglary and larceny charges. Her mugshot was taken and released by the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Department.

Avery was arrested on June 6, only four days after her high school graduation on June 2. Harmon previously shared a photo to her Instagram to celebrate the milestone. Avery is said to attend the University of Alabama in the fall, but it is still unclear if her arrest will affect her admission.

Harmon also shares daughters Finley and Emery with Jason. The couple was married from 2001 to 2014, divorcing after 13 years of marriage.

Actress Angie Harmon’s dog, Oliver, was shot and killed by an Instacart driver on March 30.

Harmon placed an Instacart order for her family’s Easter celebration. During the delivery process, she believed she was communicating with an older woman by the name of “Merle”; however, the delivery driver that appeared at her home was a young man named Christopher Anthoney Reid, who shot her dog.

The bullet broke all of Oliver’s ribs and exited under his left arm. Oliver was immediately taken to an emergency vet but did not survive.

The driver claimed that the action was performed as “self-defense,” but Harmon said that there was no evidence of this.

“[H]e didn’t have a mark on him,” Harmon told People. “He didn’t have a scratch; he didn’t have torn jeans. He didn’t have puncture marks. Most importantly, he didn’t ask for help.”

In a lawsuit filed last Friday in Mecklenberg County, North Carolina, Harmon is suing and Reid for trespassing, invasion of privacy, wrongful conversion of personal property (Oliver), negligence/gross negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress, punitive damages.

And she’s suing Instacart for negligent hiring, supervision and retention and negligent misrepresentation.

She is seeking $25,000 in damages, though the full amount will be determined in court.

Mac Sinise, the son of Forrest Gump actor Gary Sinise, has died at 33.

A tribute revealed that McCanna Anthony “Mac” Sinise was diagnosed with “a very rare” form of cancer called Chordoma.

Mac was diagnosed in 2018 and passed away earlier this winter.

His diagnosis came just two months after Moira Sinise (Gary’s wife) was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.

Moira went through chemotherapy and radiation and has been in remission and cancer-free since then.

Mac had surgery to remove a tumor a month after his diagnosis, but after further treatment, the cancer returned and spread.

Law & Order has had a rotating roster of actors through its many years on air and various spin-offs. But there was one familiar actor on the show who was admittedly brought on for the sake of eye candy.

Law & Order fans may have fond memories of Harmon’s character Abbie Carmichael on the show. The actor portrayed the young Ada from seasons 9 to 11, while also making a guest appearance on the spin-off Svu. As is the case with many actors, Harmon left the show simply to pursue other career opportunities.

“I left Law and Order because I really honestly did want to do movies and did want to be a movie star since I was a little girl,” Harmon once said according to Cinema Confidential.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Denise Richards appeared on the podcast of a fellow Bravolebrity, Caroline Stanbury from Ladies of London and The Real Housewives of Dubai, where she offered insight into her divorce from Two and a Half Men actor Charlie Sheen.

Denise was a guest on Caroline’s podcast Divorced Not Dead, and she spilled the tea, calling the relationship “toxic” but revealing good came from the relationship.

Denise ultimately split from Charlie while she was six months pregnant with their second child together.

Denise explained, “No offense to him [Charlie] but I think he would take that and understand what I’m saying. It was very toxic.”

The TV academy has honored voice-only performances since 1992, when six cast members from “The Simpsons” collectively became the first actors to receive Emmys for such work. The Best Voice-Over Performance category became an official non-juried one in 2009 and was then split into two categories in 2014: Best Character Voice-Over and Best Narrator. Jeremy Irons (“Game of Lions”) made history as the latter category’s first champion, having been awarded once before for “The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century: War Without End” in 1997.

The 2022 Best Narrator ballot list below consists of 33 performances. Seeking a fourth victory is David Attenborough (“The Mating Game”), whose three-year streak was broken last year by Sterling K. Brown (“Lincoln: Divided We Stand”). Also in the mix are former winners Peter Coyote (“Benjamin Franklin”) and Keith David (“Muhammad Ali”).

Law & Order fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

Sam Waterston will be back for Law & Order Season 22 when it launches on NBC in the fall.

Deadline first reported the news, revealing that Waterston's return as Da Jack McCoy makes him the longest-tenured cast member on the parent series.

When Law & Order Season 21 hit the air earlier this year, Waterston was one of two stars back for the revival.

Anthony Anderson confirmed earlier this year that he would not be back for the forthcoming season, with reports alleging he wanted to help get the revival off the ground.

Anderson was coming off an eight-season run on black-ish, so it is thought the star wants to try out some new roles.

“Since day one, Sam has had perfect pitch when it comes to Jack McCoy as a character who both reflects and expands our ability to understand the law,...

It's always a pleasure when we get the opportunity to chat with Kristoffer Polaha.

He's a very busy man with a role in the upcoming Jurassic World: Dominion film and Lifetime's Buried in Barstow, in which he stars with Angie Harmon.

We talked with Kristoffer about those projects and the short film he recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.

Kristoffer is taking full advantage of the world opening up again. The last time we talked, he shared how much he managed to accomplish during the Covid lockdowns, and now he's getting out there promoting that work.

We talked just before Cannes, and Kristoffer couldn't hide his excitement about his film.

"A little film that I directed, called "The Work of Art," was one of eight films selected at Cannes do the impact of emerging filmmakers showcase; we were chosen to be a part of this festival," he said.

Lauren Richards just hit the jackpot, starring alongside Angie Harmon in Lifetime's Buried in Barstow.

Lauren's character, Joy, is the daughter of Hazel King, played by Harmon.

We jumped on the phone with her to talk all about the movie and how she landed this exciting role.

It's a very fun movie. What was the audition process like for you to join Buried in Barstow?

I got the breakdown from my agent with The People Store in Atlanta, and I got the breakdown. And I was like, 'oh, my gosh, this character is so me.' I loved the whole feeling of who she was.

And then the other cool thing that just truly hooked me in was when I saw Angie Harmon was going to be part of the project. And I immediately was like, 'oh, I totally know that lady. She's such a boss.' I've definitely seen some Rizzoli and Isles,...

“She’s just flat-out meaner than Jane Rizzoli,” says Angie Harmon (above) of Hazel King, the gruff ex-hitwoman who’s finally brought Harmon back to TV six years after TNT’s cop dramedy Rizzoli & Isles ended. In Buried in Barstow, the first film in a planned franchise, Hazel’s low-key life running a Barstow, California, diner while raising her headstrong teen, Joy (Lauren Richards), is disrupted by the return of her former boss, Von (Rizzoli’s Bruce McGill). Harmon dishes. Why Hazel? Angie Harmon: Her devotion to her child. Being a mom myself, when your kids get hurt, it’s difficult not to just go absolutely bonkers. Hazel got to do all the things that I’ve really wanted to do. She’s trying to be on the right path. It’s just every time she turns around, something new is happening. She and Von have an interesting relationship.

Law & Order was revived for its 21st season earlier this year, and viewers saw the returns of Anthony Anderson and Sam Waterston, two stars from the original 1990-2010 run on NBC. Anderson has already departed the series after one season, and the future of Waterston's involvement is currently unknown. However, viewers could see another former star return – Angie Harmon.

Law & Order made a triumphant return to NBC this season for a revival that mixed old and new cast members.

Fans have been clamoring for more of Angie Harmon as A.D.A. Abbie Carmichael since her departure in 2021.

With Anthony Anderson announcing his departure after one season back, there is an opening for Harmon to make a comeback, and it sounds like the star would be interested.

"I would love it," Harmon shared to Entertainment Tonight about a potential return.

The good news is that Dick Wolf reached out to Harmon when work commenced on Law & Order Season 21.

"I was like, 'Look, guys. I mean, I would love to maybe do an arc or something,'" Harmon said, adding that Abbie was "just so fun and wonderful."

Harmon looks back fondly on her time on the series.

"Just know that was a really, really wonderful time in my life.

Rizzoli and Isles haven't solved a new case on TV in nearly six years.

While Tess Gerritsen continues to write new novels on the beloved duo, we've been left with a significant gap in our lives as their lives go on without us bearing witness on-screen.

The iconic duo of Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander were TV staples for over 100 episodes, but what are they (and the rest of the cast) doing now?

In Memorium: Lee Thompson Young -- Detective Barry Frost

Lee Thompson Young, who played Detective Frost (one of Jane Rizzoli's closest co-workers), tragically passed away in 2013 before the filming of Season Five.

Detective Frost's death got handled beautifully by the writers, from his death in Rizzoli and Isles Season 5 Episode 1 to Jane seeing a vision of him in Rizzoli and Isles Season 5 Episode 18.

The episodes throughout Season Five left us crying, laughing, and missing Lee Thompson Young's presence on our screens.

Hazel King (Angie Harmon) is no ordinary ex-assassin. Having wielded a gun since age 15, the trained killer now runs a local desert-town diner and has an adult daughter (Lauren Richards) to protect. But the past is hard to outrun in the tension-filled Buried in Barstow. And Hazel shies away from nothing, whether it’s her daughter’s abusive beau or the bigger baddies who come out of the woodwork to access her high-caliber talents. “This will be the last time,” she says of a job sure to put her in peril. Given her particular skills, don’t bet on it. Buried in Barstow, Movie Premiere, Saturday, June 4, 8/7c, Lifetime...

Lifetime has confirmed Buried in Barstow, a new movie series will bow Saturday, June 4th at 8/7c.

The movie is directed by iconic director, Howie Deutch. Development on the second movie is currently underway.

Melissa Joan Hart will star in multiple new “It’s a Wonderful Lifetime” holiday movies, as well as the made-for-tv hoarder film “Dirty Little Secret” at Lifetime, as part of a new multi-year deal with the cable channel, Variety has learned exclusively.

Under her new pact, Hart will star in, direct and executive produce several movies for Lifetime. For the “Ripped From The Headlines” movie “Dirty Little Secret” (working title), which is set to debut this summer, Hart stars as a mother hiding her extreme hoarding tendencies that are destroying her family.

Additionally, Hart will star in and executive produce new movies for Lifetime’s 2022 and 2023 Christmas slates, having previously starred in six holiday films for the cabler, including “Mistletoe in Montana,” “Dear Christmas” and “A Very Merry Toy Store.” Hart has previously executive produced eight Lifetime films with her production company Hartbreak Films, including the recent “Christmas in Tune” starring Reba McEntire.

We already know that Sam Waterston’s Jack McCoy and Anthony Anderson’s Kevin Bernard are set to return for NBC’s upcoming Law & Order revival. But it looks like a third familiar face will also make their way back to the Dick Wolf procedural.

Although he couldn’t reveal who exactly would be dropping by, he did say that they are “one of my favorite people on Earth” and that “you’ll be glad when you see her.

“Law & Order” is bringing back yet another familiar face. While NBC previously announced that Sam Waterston and Anthony Anderson will both be reprising their roles of D.A. Jack McCoy and Detective Kevin Bernard, respectively, they aren’t the only ones stepping back into the courtroom — and the list of possible guest stars is endless.

“One of the wonderful things about doing a television show in New York like this with really juicy parts for visitors is that there’s this extraordinary pool of talent of New York actors. So, the hope and expectation is that there will be a wonderful surprise every week,” Waterston tells Variety, before hinting at one of those surprises. “There is a person coming back in the first show, one of my favorite people on Earth. I’m not allowed to tell who that is, but you’ll be glad when you see her.

Exclusive: Lifetime has rounded out cast for both installments of Toni Braxton’s Fallen Angels Murder Club, and Angie Harmon’s Barstow (working title) movies. The movies fall under previously signed deals with Braxton and Harmon, in which they will star in and executive produce multiple films for Lifetime.

Eddie Cibrian has joined the first installment of Braxton’s Fallen Angels, while Kelly Hu joins the cast of the second film. Both films are based on the Hollis Morgan mystery book series by author R. Franklin James.

Cibrian stars as Avery Mitchell, Hollis Morgan’s (Braxton) charismatic boss, while Hu will make her debut in the second installment as the mysterious Joelle.

Additionally, Harmon’s Barstow (working title) movies has added Kristoffer Polaha as Elliot, a mysterious stranger with a troubling past.

In the first installment of Fallen Angels Murder Club (wt), members of the Club must have two things in common – a love for books and have a criminal record. Hollis Morgan (Braxton) meets both requirements. Left holding the bag in an insurance fraud scheme concocted by her ex-husband, Hollis served her time and now hopes the court will pardon her conviction so she can return to law school and fulfill her dream of becoming a lawyer. But when a member of her book club is murdered in a scene straight out of the previous night’s novel, Hollis once again becomes the subject of police scrutiny. Refusing to get stuck with another bad rap, Hollis sets out to investigate her fellow club members and after a second book-inspired murder, she races to identify the killer before she becomes the next victim.

Cast also includes Keith D. Robinson, Lisa Berry, Yanic Truesdale (Gilmore Girls), Kaitlyn Leeb (Spinning Out), Humberly Gonzalez (Ginny & Georgia), Rainbow Sun Francks (Umbrella Academy), Henderson Wade, Rob Stewart, Raoul Bhaneja and Shawn Ahmed.

The Fallen Angels Murder Club films fall in line with Lifetime’s Broader Focus initiative which supports the hiring of women in key production roles. The movies are produced for Lifetime by Brain Power Studio and executive produced by Beth Stevenson, Nancy Yeaman, Toni Braxton and Rhonda Baraka. The films are written and directed by Baraka.

In Barstow (wt),Harmon stars as Hazel King, a single mother determined to shield her daughter from the life she once had while protecting and defending those who can’t protect themselves. Plucked off the streets of Las Vegas at 15, Hazel was trained as a hit woman until a surprisng pregnancy drives her to leave it all behind. Living as a single mother running a diner in Barstow with her teenage daughter, Hazel’s past eventually catches up with her and she’s pulled back in for one more hit.

Additional cast include Lauren Richards, George Paez, Tim Granaderos, Gabriel Rodriguez, Casey Mills, Ben Cain, Anthony Reynolds and Nelson Bonilla.

The Barstow movies are produced for Lifetime by Untitled Entertainment and executive produced by Angie Harmon, Michael Rosenberg, Laura Notarianni, Stan Spry and Eric Scott Woods. The first film is written by Tom Evans and directed by Howie Deutch.

There could be three Law & Order shows on NBC soon. The original series, which aired its series finale in 2010, is returning for Season 21, according to Wolf Entertainment.

“Batman Beyond” voice and casting director Andrea Romano is calling on fans of the animated series to let Warner Bros. know there is a demand for a revival because the team behind the program is more than ready to return with new episodes. The news comes as Warner Bros.’ streaming platform HBO Max is about to world premiere “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” which got greenlit by WarnerMedia after years of fan demand to let Snyder finish his original cut of the 2017 superhero tentpole. Romano sent the message to fans IGN Fan Fest’s “Batman Beyond” table read over the weekend.

“It will depend on the fans asking, and asking, and asking for it until [show owner] Warner Bros. would be foolish not to,” Romano said. “So they have to begin a campaign of sorts and just let Warner Bros. know that that’s what they want. Because we would like to make it,...

Nanci Ryder, who co-founded Baker/Winokur/Ryder (Bwr) Public Relations more than three decades ago, representing top stars such as Reese Witherspoon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael J. Fox and Courteney Cox, died Thursday of motor neuron disease Als (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). She was 67.

Ryder was diagnosed with Als in August 2014 and stepped down from Bwr soon after. She went public with her diagnosis in October 2014 and told press — communicating by means of a tablet — that she would dedicate the rest of her life to raising awareness of the disease and finding a cure for it.

Known for her wicked sense of humor and devotion to four-letter words, she continued to tap out jokes long after she lost her voice.

Ryder was a mentor to many in talent public relations who have gone on to practices of their own.

Ryder founded Bwr in 1984, working with clients including Paul Reiser, Helen Hunt,...

Legacies is continuing to evolve in its second season, paying homage to the shows that came before it, as well carving out storylines that will help the mythology continue for the years to come.

TV Fanatic's Carissa Pavlica chatted with Peyton Alex Smith (Rafael), Chris Lee (Kaleb), and Aria Shahgasemi (Landon) at Scad aTVfest this past weekend in Atlanta, and all three dropped hints about what's on tap for the rest of the season.

One of the biggest talking points was Alaric sending some of the students to the prison world to banish them for crimes they committed around Mystic Falls.

"It's something that affects us as a group," says Chris.

"We'll see a lot of conflict with how that affects the students, how it has affected students from the past, and if they find their way back into the school system, and what kind of side they're going to be on.

When Legacies returns from hiatus, there will be a whole new dynamic for one couple.

TV Fanatic's Carissa Pavlica chatted with Danielle Rose Russell, Scad's aTVfest in Atlanta over the weekend, and the Hope Mikaelson actress had a lot to say about what's on top for the remainder of Legacies Season 2 -- and beyond!

If you are a fan of the shows that came before Legacies, then you know that Hope Mikaelson is part witch, part werewolf, and part vampire, or so she's supposed to be.

At the moment, she's activated her witch and werewolf abilities, and fans have been wondering when they might expect her to become a full-fledged tribrid.

"I think that it's a pitch that's hopefully going to happen within the next season or two. I think that becoming a tribrid will really change the entire course of the show, so I think they are being very careful with it.

We may be over halfway through Legacies Season 2, but the drama will not be slowing down as we approach the big finish.

The cast and crew of the CW hit descended on Scad's aTVfest in Atlanta over the weekend, and TV Fanatic had the pleasure of chatting with some of them about the series.

Carissa Pavlica, our wonderful managing editor, conducted a Lot of interviews over the weekend, so expect lots of scoop from other TV shows, including Roswell, New Mexico, Prodigal Son, Deputy, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, and This Is Us.

After Legacies Season 2 Episode 12, one of the biggest questions on the minds of fans involves whether Kai Parker is really dead, and Julie Plec, the creator of the series opened up about bringing Chris Wood's villain into the mix, and what it means for the series going forward.

"We finally got to fulfill our series-long dream of getting...
