Get ready for another big name on Broadway.
Denzel Washington plans to return to the New York stage next spring in a revival of August Wilson's "Fences."
Producers Carole Shorenstein Hays and Scott Rudin say the play will open in April at a theater to be announced. The production will be directed by Kenny Leon, who directed Wilson's "Radio Golf" and "Gem of the Ocean" on Broadway.
No other casting was announced. The original 1987 production starred James Earl Jones as patriarch Troy Maxson, Mary Alice as his wife and Courtney B. Vance as his son. It won both the Tony Award for best play and the Pulitzer Prize for drama.
Washington was last on Broadway in 2005 in a revival of "Julius Caesar" in which he played Brutus.
A California judge has granted a temporary restraining order barring Jennifer Lopez's first husband from distributing 11 hours of home video footage from their marriage that the singer-actress claims includes sexual situations.
Ojani Noa and his manager Ed Meyer had planned to distribute the footage and proposed making a film, "The J.Lo and Ojani Noa Story." Yesterday's order also applies to Meyer.
Lopez wed Noa in 1997, but their marriage lasted just 11 months. In 2007, Lopez won $545,000 in damages and attorney fees in another lawsuit that blocked Noa from publishing a ghostwritten tell-all book. Lopez claimed Noa demanded $5 million to keep him from publishing the book.
Noa claimed the footage included nothing sexual and alleged that Lopez is trying to keep him from success.
Donald Trump says he's partnering with the TV One network on a reality dating series starring TV diva Omarosa.
Having proven herself as a fiery contender on Trump's "The Apprentice," she now will be the one choosing from contenders who compete to marry her on "Omarosa's Ultimate Merger."
Created by Trump Productions, the eight-episode show will follow Omarosa as she puts a dozen rival bachelors through challenges.
The series is scheduled to premiere in the spring on TV One, a basic cable network targeting black viewers.
An arrest warrant has been dropped for actor Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, who are accused of stiffing a Santa Barbara County hotel on a $10,000 bill.
Prosecutor Lee Carter says the warrant was recalled after the Quaids posted bail of $20,000 each last week.
The Quaids' attorney, Robert Sanger, says the bill has been paid and he hopes to talk with prosecutors about resolving the case.
The warrant was issued after the Quaids failed to show up for three court appearances.
They were arrested on Sept. 24 in West Texas. Authorities plan to extradite them to California, where they're accused of using an invalid credit card to defraud San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito.
Arraignment is set for Dec. 15.
