Alex Trebek sets Guinness World Record for hosting

Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek has quizzed television viewers on trivia nearly every night for some three decades and now he's set a world record doing so. Guinness World Records on Friday presented Trebek with a plaque recognizing his record-setting 6,829th time hosting the show. It's the record for the most game show episodes hosted by a single person. "It's an honor to hold the Guinness World Record for hosting Jeopardy!, which I've often said is the best of reality TV," Trebek said. "We have had incredible support from our viewers for the past 30 years, and without them, I wouldn't have set this record." Trebek began hosting the show in 1984, taking over for former host Art Fleming. Jeopardy! first appeared on television in 1964. The series already holds a Guinness record for most Emmy Awards won by a TV game show, 29, and most Emmy wins for a producer, 11 for Harry Friedman.


Aaliyah's former manager says the singer's family wasn't consulted about Lifetime biopic

Aaliyah's family is not happy with Lifetime's decision to produce a biopic on the late singer. TMZ reports that Aaliyah's uncle and former manager Barry Hankerson claims her family wasn't consulted about the movie and plans to do everything they can to keep the cable network from using the singer's music and will attempt to block the release of the film altogether. Reports about Aaliyah's family's discontent come two days after it was revealed that Disney channel star Zendaya was cast to play the singer in the upcoming film based on Christopher John Farley's biography, Aaliyah: More Than a Woman. Hankerson told TMZ that while the family is not opposed to a big production about Aaliyah's life and untimely death, a TV movie is just too small.

Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith cleared by Child Protective Services over Will Smith photo

The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services has reportedly cleared Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith of wrongdoing, after an investigation into a controversial Instagram photo of their 13-year-old daughter Willow Smith.
"No evidence presented that Willow has ever been in any danger around Moises or that she has ever been physically or emotionally abused," an official source told Radar on Monday. Last month, Child Protective Services launched a probe into a viral photo of Willow, who was captured laying in bed with a shirtless 20-year-old actor named Moises Arias. Arias removed the black-and-white snap from his Instagram page, but not before it had garnered widespread media criticism and official attention. Pinkett Smith maintained that there was "nothing sexual about that picture or that situation." "You guys are projecting your trash onto it," she said. "You're acting like covert pedophiles and that's not cool."
