"Friends" reunion will feature BTS, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga

Prince Harry thought about quitting royal life in his 20s
Prince Harry compared his royal experience to being on "The Truman Show" and "living in a zoo."
The Duke of Sussex said during a Thursday episode of the "Armchair Expert" podcast that he contemplated quitting royal life on several occasions while in his 20s. He spoke candidly with host Dax Shepard about keeping his relationship with Meghan a secret and dealing with the U.K. media scrutiny.
Harry thought his life was like the 1998 Jim Carrey film "The Truman Show." The film tells a story about Truman Burbank's life being televised through hidden cameras while encountering people who were hired actors.
Harry said it was a heavy burden and he struggled to deal with being a member of the royal family. He feared that his pregnant wife and son, Archie, would have to deal with the spotlight the same way his late mother, Princess Diana, had to deal with the enormous attention.
In 1997, Diana died in a car crash at the age of 36 in Paris while being pursued by paparazzi.
"I don't want this job, I don't want to be here, I don't want to be doing this. Look what it did to my mum," the 36-year-old Harry said.
In a previous interview, Harry said the royal family cut him off financially at the start of 2020 after he announced plans to step back from his roles. But he was able to afford security for his family because of the money his mother left behind.
Harry and Meghan's departure from royal duties began last year over what they described as the British media's intrusions and racist attitudes toward the duchess. He criticized some American media outlets but said they are an improvement over the ones in the U.K.
He feels more liberated after he and his family moved to California.
"Living here now I can actually lift my head and actually feel different," said Harry, who added he's able to take Archie for bicycle rides. "You can walk around feeling a little bit more free."
Bill Maher taping canceled after host's positive virus test
A taping of Bill Maher's weekly HBO show was canceled after the host tested positive for COVID-19.
Maher, who is fully vaccinated, is "asymptomatic and feels fine," according to a statement Thursday from HBO. "No other staff or crew members have tested positive at this time," the channel said.
The taping of Friday's episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher" will be rescheduled, HBO said. Guests were to include astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and podcast host Dan Carlin.
Maher was tested as part of the Los Angeles production's weekly protocol for staff, the channel said, adding that "every precaution" is taken in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines regarding the coronavirus.
The comedian and political gadfly moved back to in-studio shows with a limited audience late last summer, after taping episodes at his home in the early months of the pandemic.
TV and filmmaking gradually resumed after last year's pandemic-forced shutdown, but despite strict safety rules there have been other production holds caused by a cast or crew member's positive virus test.
