Leah Remini, James' former "King of Queens" costar and guest on the first season of "Kevin Can Wait," would take her spot as a series regular. #KevinCanWait "She died over a year ago." Lazy writing. "She died over a year ago" That was lame af. The opening of the show featured Kevin getting his kids ready for school when he opens a postcard addressed to his dead wife. The show could explain more as the season continues, but for now, it wasn't enough for many fans.

But in the Season 2 premiere, the show quickly and coldly killed off Kevin's wife, played by Erinn Hayes, with just a throwaway comment followed by a lukewarm joke. This show will soon be cancelled without @hayeslady What were you thinking @cbs ? #KevinCanWait @KevinJames owes Erinn more respect than the brief time that he gave her last night on TV @KevinCanWaitCBS Shame on him!👎🏻 @hayeslady @KevinCanWaitCBS You can wait all you want. TV characters die literally all the time, but usually with buildup and even some emotional attention. How quickly will Kevin connect with Leah Remini's character?

When news first broke that actress Erinn Hayes would be written off the CBS sitcom Kevin Can Wait—and effectively be replaced by Leah Remini, Kevin James’s old King of Queens costar—some questions naturally arose. We already knew that Hayes’s character, Donna, would be killed off; we just didn’t know how she would die—or, perhaps even more crucially, how the series would handle her conspicuously sudden absence. And as it turned out, the show handled Donna’s demise with exactly as much subtlety and delicacy as one would expect from a Kevin James show. Well, perhaps this won’t be the end of her story after all; when news of Donna’s imminent death first broke, CBS President Kelly Kahl promised that the reveal would “be treated with dignity and respect, and the show will move forward.” Maybe that means we’ll hear more about this as the season progresses, and Kevin processes his grief.

On Monday's season premiere of Kevin Can Wait, the show revealed its new, Erinn Hayes-less incarnation. In the offseason, Hayes, who played Kevin Gable's (Kevin James) wife Donna in Season 1, was let go to make room for the full-time return of Leah Remini, who played Kevin's wife on The King of Queens and guest-starred on Kevin Can Wait's first season. How Donna died was not explained in the Season 2 premiere and probably will never be, especially as the show moves on. Even in the premiere, her death was glossed over. CBS should kill off everyone else on Kevin Can Wait and bring back the entire cast of The King of Queens.

Between Season 1 and Season 2, the creative team of Kevin Can Wait decided to do a soft reboot and replace female lead Erinn Hayes with star Kevin James' King of Queens wife Leah Remini. It was a surprising choice, and it got even weirder when the producers revealed that Hayes' character would be killed off, an inappropriately dark turn for the light family comedy. Before the season, showrunners Rock Reuben and Rob Long told TV Guide that the show was going to pick up about a year later with the characters past the heaviest part of their grief. In the first scene, Kevin was making the kids' lunches, which indicated something was amiss. Kendra and Chale (Ryan Cartwright) had to get married or else Chale would be deported.

LOS ANGELES—Asserting that he would never venture into the world of prestige film and television, actor Kevin James announced Monday that he is not considering a late-career shift towards more dramatic roles. “I can confirm that I am in no way planning a pivot toward taking on more weighty, serious roles,” said James, who also confirmed he has not spent a moment of free time filming a passion project that would explore darker, more personal themes. “You can expect me to continue making slapstick comedies where I get mad at my wife for losing the remote and occasionally wipe out on a Segway. I have no intention of playing a troubled genius or a controversial historical figure or anything at all that speaks to something deeper about the human condition.” James went on to say, however, he would reconsider if given the opportunity to collaborate with director Lars von Trier.

Early this past summer, lovers of mediocre sitcoms learned that Erinn Hayes, the talented actress who played Kevin James' wife Donna on CBS' Kevin Can Wait, was not returning to the show. Turns out that the multi-episode guest spot that his former costar (and anti-Scientology activist) Leah Remini did at the end of the first season reminded James of the chemistry they shared—and it was quickly curtains for Hayes. But how would the show deal with the removal of one of the two main characters, wife to the lead and mother of three children (or four if you count "Chale")? In June, CBS president Kelly Kahl had promised, “It will be treated with dignity and respect, something that will have taken place in the past.” Yeah, pretty heartless, no? And we're not the only ones; here are some angry tweeters who seem to agree.

The internet is in a tizzy over the idea that Kevin Durant uses fake accounts to defend himself on Twitter, but that story is nothing compared to his private Instagram account that was unearthed in the wake of the Twitter conspiracy. It begins with this photo, posted by KD’s brother, who tagged Durant with the account “quiresultan.” The account is private, but it’s followed by numerous NBA players, Durant’s stylist and Big Sean — well-known friend of Durant. This is true, though people don’t usually use those private accounts to argue with fans about their real life, just as Durant has been accused of doing on Twitter. To cap it off, shortly after news spread that @quiresultan was Durant’s private account he deleted the profile picture and changed the account’s name. The original photo by Durant’s brother is still tagging @quiresultan, but Instagram shows that account as deactivated.

In fact, the CBS sitcom was one of the better received freshman network offerings from last year with many praising or at the very least liking Kevin James and Erinn Hayes’ performances and chemistry. However, the show threw away a lot of the good will it had acquired by announcing that Hayes would be replaced as the show’s leading lady in Season 2. For the most part, it was a perfectly fine and fun cameo, but at some point, CBS must have taken the attention the episode received as a cue to completely rearrange its cast. In the months since it was first announced that Remini would be replacing Hayes, it was revealed that Kevin Can Wait would be killing off the sweet wife audiences had spent 24 episodes getting to know.

The first season of Leah Remini and Mike Rinder’s A&E series exposing the Church of Scientology had one aim: to explain the evils of the organization, which in no way is actually a church. Where once speaking out against Scientology could spell the end of a Hollywood career, the times, they are a-changin’, as most clearly evidenced by the fact that the series just won an Emmy. Aaron Smith-Levin, one of the most powerful critics of Scientology (and a contributor to the A&E series) pushed back against my assertions, making a critical point that the organization does indeed have culpability in the suicides of its members if Scientology authorities prohibited them from seeking professional help. The most powerful portion of the episode, and most likely to be of interest to law enforcement, was the testimony of Gary “Jackson” Morehead, who designed the security system at the main center for Scientology on the West Coast, the Gold Base. With both the House and the Senate Republican-controlled, inquiries into Scientology’s policy of coerced abortions should also begin given how many individuals have described its existence both on and off camera on the A&E special.

Jada Pinkett Smith denied she was a Scientologist after Leah Remini claimed the actress had been practicing the religion. (Reuters) Jada Pinkett Smith shut down rumors she was a Scientologist on Tuesday after Leah Remini claimed the actress has been practicing the religion for “a long time.” Smith, 46, opened up about her religious practices in a series of tweets, admitting she had studied Dianetics, which details the practices and beliefs of Scientology, but doesn’t call herself a Scientologist. I have studied Dianetics, and appreciate the merits of Study Tech… but I am not a Scientologist. Remini sparked the Scientology rumors when she detailed Tom Cruise and the Smiths playing adult-hide-and-seek in her book “Troublemaker.” The actress then told The Daily Beast on Saturday she knew Smith was a Scientologist. I was like, ‘Okay, alright, you’re gonna do that?

If the past is any indication, Leah Remini’s crusade against the Church of Scientology was only just beginning with her tell-all memoir and television docuseries. But Jada, I had seen her at the Scientology Celebrity Centre all the time.” Pinkett Smith hasn’t yet commented on these claims, although a funny story in Remini’s memoir involving Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and herself has now become a lot more amusing with this new information.

After falling short in July, Senate Republicans tried again this month with a bill that would gives states greater control over the hundreds of billions of dollars that the federal government spends annually on health care. The Republican president said later he still had not given up hope that the law would eventually be repealed. John Thune, a member of the Republican leadership in the Senate, said the party would likely not try to undo Obamacare again until it was clear there were enough votes for it. He said the party would now focus on overhauling the U.S. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said the number of people with health insurance covering high-cost medical events would be slashed by millions if the latest Republican bill had it become law.

While the most effective naturally occurring antibodies can only target 90 percent of HIV strains, this tri-specific antibody was observed to take on 99 percent. These range from the various treatment methods that are now available to the hugely successful educational campaign that’s been carried out in Africa. Scientists in South Africa are investigating the case of a nine-year-old child who was seemingly cured of HIV after receiving antiretroviral therapy. At the end of 2015, 36.7 million people around the world were living with HIV/AIDS, so clearly a lot more work needs to be done. However, this new research project and others like it could lead to the next level of advancements with regards to the virus.

The decision marked the latest stinging rejection on the issue for President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. In July, the Republican-controlled Senate rejected three similar GOP measures, a failure that infuriated conservatives and prompted Mr Trump to spend much of his summer tweeting insults at Senator McConnell and other Republicans for falling short. The retreat left the GOP's next steps on healthcare unclear, especially with a President who in recent weeks has reached out to congressional Democratic leaders on high-agenda items like the budget and immigration. The abandoned bill would have transformed much of Obamacare's spending into $US1.2 trillion ($1.5 trillion) worth of grants through to 2026 that states could spend on health programs with few constraints. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said "millions" of Americans would have lost coverage under the bill, and projected it would impose $1 trillion ($1.3 trillion) in Medicaid cuts through 2026.

Like a bad sequel to a terrible movie, a proposal whose main architects are Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina would in many ways be worse than bills that came before. It would punish states like California and New York that have done the most to increase access to health care and set in motion cuts to Medicaid, the federal-state program that provides insurance to nearly 70 million people, many of whom are disabled and elderly. It would eliminate the mandate that even healthy people buy health insurance, end the subsidies that help people purchase coverage and stop the expansion of Medicaid. The block grants would disappear entirely in 2027, and it is by no means certain, given the pitched partisan battles over health care in recent years, that Congress would be inclined to reauthorize them. Under current law, federal spending increases automatically to keep up with the rise in medical costs; a per-capita cap would leave governors, who are ultimately in charge of administering Medicaid, in the unenviable position of denying care to poor and older Americans.

A move to 64-bit is designed to allow iPhones and iPads to run programs more efficiently - but it will render older apps obsolete. 21:37, UK, Tuesday 19 September 2017 Apple's new mobile operating system will drop support for older apps as the technology moves to using faster processors. Alongside the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, Apple is beginning to roll out the newest version of its operating system, iOS 11, on Tuesday. But iOS 11 has the potential to leave iPhone and iPad users unable to access their favourite apps if they are old and no longer supported by developers. The new operating system is going to be restricted to running apps written in 64-bit code, meaning many older apps written in 32-bit code will stop working for users after they update their systems.

The measure marks the last gasp of Republican attempts to dramatically gut Obama’s Affordable Care Act, which has added millions of people to the ranks of the insured through a combination of federally subsidized marketplaces and state-level expansions of Medicaid, leading to record lows in the number of those without health insurance. Everybody knows that the opportunity expires at the end of the month,” said McConnell, referring to the limited window Republicans have to take advantage of a procedural tactic to pass a broad health-care bill without any Democratic support. The fact that the bill also would restrict states’ abilities to tax health-care providers to fund their Medicaid programs posed a problem for several governors, as well. In a sign of how alarmed state officials are about the prospect of funding cuts, Louisiana’s health secretary sent a letter to Cassidy on Monday saying that their state could see disproportionate cuts with significant impacts on people with preexisting or complex and costly conditions. Given the complex nature of the Graham-Cassidy proposal, it is difficult for state officials and health-care analysts to predict exactly how much money a given state would gain or lose if the legislation were enacted.
