The Jon Cryer produced podcast The Man Who Calculated Death has won a Gracie Award for its tale about a scientist who built the first cruise missile for Adolf Hitler.

The nine-episode, true-life podcast was penned and hosted by Suzanne Rico, a journalist and former anchor of Kcbs-tv in Los Angeles. It’s produced by Novel and Discount Sushi, Cryer’s production company that he co-founded with his wife/journalist, Lisa Joyner. It’s available on Wondery+ and PodcastOne.

Rico, who won the Gracie for writing the podcast, tells the story of how her dying mother requested that she and her sister Stephanie finish what she started: an in-the-works memoir about how their grandfather, scientist Robert Lusser, built the first cruise missile for Adolf Hitler and what link, if any, it had to do with the mysterious death of their grandmother.

The podcast also nominated for an Ambie Award for Excellence in Audio.

Last night, producers Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley Jackson hosted Concert for America, a bi-coastal Inauguration Day benefit that included musical and comedic performances from the brightest stars of stage and screen, with inspiring stories and messages from those on the front lines, advocating for freedom and justice for all.

Ryan Santana made a courageous move — he came out to his family on live television.

On Monday’s episode for TLC’s live four-night event of This Is Life Live, audiences met a professional baseball player living in Australia who has been keeping his sexuality a secret from his family all his life. For the first time ever, he’s ready to reveal that he’s gay to his family and fellow teammates.

Though Santana has a very close relationship with his mom, he’s been afraid to tell her that he’s gay for fear that she wouldn’t accept him.

Thirty years have passed since the release of "Pretty in Pink" (on February 28, 1986), and yet we're still bewildered by the teen romance's climax.

Maybe we need to think of the John Hughes-scripted film as Gen X's own "Casablanca." The ending makes more sense if you think of Duckie (Jon Cryer) as Humphrey Bogart, letting the woman he loves (Molly Ringwald's Andie) go off with the dull-but-decent guy (Andrew McCarthy's Blane) because he's finally admitted to himself that he's a chivalrous romantic who values her happiness above his own. Yeah, it's a stretch, but it's just one of many interpretations to spin out of this Hughes classic.

In honor of the film turning the big three-0, here are 15 surprising facts about the best movie ever named after a Psychedelic Furs song.

1. Hughes wrote the role of Andie Walsh for Ringwald, but even though she'd starred in his...

Strolling around town with a friend, Mila Kunis grabbed some lunch at Rfd in La on Friday (March 14).

In related news, Mila recently went on a double date with her talented husband, Ashton Kutcher, and "Two and a Half Men" co-star Jon Cryer and his wife Lisa Joyner for a fun night out.

Also tweeting a snapshot of herself wrapped around her big man, the 30-year-old beauty wrote, "this is why tall guys are needed."...

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are no strangers to showing off Pda, but on a date night on Wednesday, they weren't hugging each other. After having dinner in La, Mila was seen hugging Ashton's Two and a Half Men costar Jon Cryer while Ashton embraced Jon's wife, Lisa Joyner. Mila will be spending even more time with Jon when she guest stars on their show later this season. However, her character, Vivian, will have a much more complicated relationship with Ashton's character, Walden, than their real-life romance. Though the two feel an "instant connection" and Walden is convinced she's "the one," he's about to propose to someone else.

And while they’ve been dating for awhile now, Ashton and Mila aren’t anywhere near ready to walk down the aisle.

An insider shared, “It won't necessarily be a short engagement. They haven't begun planning the wedding yet.”

As for Kunis’ engagement ring, “It's a simple band with a round diamond. No baguettes, no insets. It's not ostentatious, like a Kim Kardashian ring. She doesn't need a security team with her to wear it. It's a lot like her and Ashton.”...

At the touching tribute to John Hughes during the Oscars on Sunday (March 8), the late filmmaker was honored by many of the actors who starred in his unforgettable movies about young people. As Ferris Bueller would say, "Life moves pretty fast," and indeed, decades have passed since these actors' iconic Hughesian roles. Here, a look at what some of Hughes's former protegees are up to now:

Molly Ringwald - Hughes's greatest muse, Ringwald was unforgettable as the lead in his directorial debut "Sixteen Candles," as the popular princess in "The Breakfast Club" and as the noble girl from the wrong side of the tracks in "Pretty in Pink.

ABC quietly unveiled a new reality series on Tuesday night. Like the network's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition series, Find My Family had audience members reaching for the tissues by the box. But, more importantly for the show's future, how did it do in the ratings?

Hosted by Tim Green and Lisa Joyner, Find My Family helps people reconnect with family members after being separated for many years. The emotional reunions take place on-camera and in front of a place known as the "Family Tree."

Following the performance finale of Dancing with the Stars, the premiere of Family attracted 12.76 million viewers and a 2.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Those numbers look okay on their own but its significant that the series lost about 40% of its lead-in audience. ABC can't be happy about that.

The real test will be...

We have five clips from the "Arend and DeHaven" episode of ABC's "Find My Family." The show premiered on November 23rd at 9:30 p.m. Check out all the clips in the "Find My Family" group. From the producer of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” comes the highly anticipated “Find My Family,” a heartwarming program with one simple mission -- to bring families back together. With the help of a dedicated team of researchers, hosts Tim Green and Lisa Joyner guide people searching for lost loved ones through the emotional journeys that will change their lives forever. Each episode of the television series is a one-hour, self-contained show full of moving moments and tears of joy, when mothers, fathers, daughters and sons who lost touch for decades are reunited. The show will begin with the emotional back stories of two different families in search of lost relatives. With minimal information, the...

Actor Jon Cryer is planning to adopt his first child with wife Lisa Joyner, according to U.S. reports.

The Pretty In Pink star will reportedly expand his family just months after assuming temporary custody of his nine-year-old son Charlie with his ex-wife, actress Sarah Trigger - who was arrested in May on felony neglect charges.

At the time, Trigger's two-year-old son with her current husband was found with rope and cord marks around his neck.

Trigger denies claims of neglect, calling the incident an "accident and a misunderstanding". She is seeking to regain custody of Charlie and the toddler.

A source tells the National Enquirer, "Jon and Lisa want to remove Charlie from what they believe is an unsafe living environment by getting full custody of him. And they are also adopting another child... The couple had already undergone the rigorous investigations required to adopt - and (have) been approved."

Cryer wed British-born Trigger in 1999 but they divorced in 2004. The actor married second wife, entertainment reporter Joyner, in 2007.

A spokesperson for the actor had not responded to requests for comment as WENN went to press.

Two And A Half Men star Jon Cryer wed TV presenter Lisa Joyner in a romantic ceremony in Mexico on Saturday. The happy couple married at the Chapel at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with the 40-year-old bride dressed in a champagne satin Monique Lhuillier gown. The 41-year-old actor's rep says, "They're very, very happy." The couple started dating in late 2005 - a year after Cryer divorced his first wife Sarah Trigger, mother of his six-year-old son Charlie.

Two And A Half Men star Jon Cryer is to wed TV newswoman Lisa Joyner in Mexico this June. The actor started dating Joyner in 2005 after reportedly spotting her gardening while walking past her Hollywood home. The couple sold the two homes they owned last year and moved in together. And now they're making plans to become man and wife. Cryer says, "It'll be a small ceremony. There will be fireworks. I'm excited about it." Cryer, 42, split up with his first wife, actress Sarah Trigger, in 2004. The couple have a son, Charlie, who is six.

Pretty In Pink star Jon Cryer has moved in with his TV reporter lover after a 10-month romance. The divorced actor, 41, has been dating Los Angeles TV news reporter Lisa Joyner since last year and now friends are convinced the couple are set to wed after setting up home together in California. The couple reportedly met when the actor, now the star of hit US sitcom Two & A Half Men, was walking past 39-year-old Joyner's home and spotted the sexy newswoman gardening. A source tells US tabloid the National Enquirer, "He stopped to chat, and it was pretty much love at first sight." The couple has since sold the two homes they owned and have bought a new place, which they share with Cryer's six-year-old son Charlie.
