RuPaul, Drew Barrymore, Faith Hill to judge 'Olympics for entertainment'

RuPaul, Drew Barrymore and Faith Hill are to serve as judges on the new global talent show, The World's Best.

James Corden is set to host the CBS project, which is being executive produced by Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Voice,) and Mike Darnell (American Idol, Little Big Shots, Ellen's Game of Games.)

It will feature performers across all genres from around the world.

"The World's Best is a new talent competition captured on a scale rarely seen on television. This will be the first and only series where talent from all over the globe takes the stage in front of three American judges and 50 world experts," Darnell said in a statement Monday. "It's exhilarating to embark on this game-changing event with CBS, Mark Burnett and our terrific team here at Warner Horizon."

"The time has come to take talent competition shows to the next level and bring in judges from around the world to decide on the ultimate winner," added Burnett. "It's like the Olympics for entertainment, but you don't have to wait every two years."

John Goodman: Roseanne Barr is 'definitely' missed on 'The Conners'

John Goodman says Roseanne Barr is "definitely" missed on the set of The Conners.

The 66-year-old actor discussed Barr's firing from Roseanne on Monday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! ahead of the premiere of The Conners, the Roseanne spinoff.

"She is missed, definitely," Goodman told host Jimmy Kimmel. "After that many years, it's like a family. Last year was so miraculous and so unreal that when it went away it was almost like a dream."

ABC picked up The Conners in June after the Roseanne revival was canceled following Barr's tweet about Valerie Jarrett. Goodman said he struggled in the wake of the controversy.

"I thought, 'Okay, I'll be a big boy and handle this.' And I just crashed for a couple weeks," he recalled. "All kinds of weird stuff happened. My wife got sick right after that. Then I fell down the stairs."

Goodman and Barr played married couple Roseanne and Dan Conner in nine seasons of Roseanne, and reprised the characters in the Season 10 revival. Goodman will return as Dan on The Conners, while Barr will reportedly be killed off.

"It was very weird doing the first show without her because she's my buddy," the actor said of Barr. "I mean, we'd just sit there and she's make me laugh and I'd make her laugh, which is fun because there's always a danger of her peeing herself."

"She gave up a lot for us to be able to do this show and I can't thank her enough," he added.

The Conners premieres Oct. 16 on ABC. The series co-stars Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Michael Fishman and Emma Kenney.

Iggy Azalea cancels 'Bad Girls' tour: 'Genuinely disappointed'

Australian rapper Iggy Azalea is canceling her Bad Girls tour.

The 28-year-old recording artist confirmed the news Sunday on Twitter, telling her 7.9 million followers she was "genuinely disappointed" by the cancellation.

"Believe me - i was really excited for this tour... and im genuinely disappointed it cant happen this year," Azalea wrote. "The choice was out of my hands and not my call to make. I hope i will get to see you all in person one day. I love you."

"All i can do is keep pushing, keep recording and keep a smile on my face," she added.

Live Nation said the tour was canceled due to "unforeseen circumstances," according to E! News. The tour was to begin Oct. 27 in Hollywood, Fla., and conclude Dec. 4 in Houston, Texas.

"Cartoons" rapper Cupcakke was to join Azalea on the road, but announced last week she was dropping out of the tour. She explained in a tweet Saturday her pay would have been dramatically cut.

"Listen y'all, I went from getting paid 330k on this tour to 30k that's what I mean by 'change plans'................ THIS WAS NOT IGGY THAT CHANGED PLANS !!!!! It was the ones that put it together !!!!! Iggy knows I love her .... I just need that bag IN FULL that's all," the rapper wrote.

Azalea last released the EP Survive the Summer in August. The EP includes the single "Kream" featuring Tyga.
