Dolly Parton estate alleges nephew evading lawsuit with barbed wire, trespassing sign

The estate of Dolly Parton alleges that her nephew Bryan Seaver, who previously served as the late singer's longtime head of security, is using barbed wire and a "no trespassing" sign to evade a lawsuit, according to a new court filing.

Seaver, the son of one of Parton's 11 siblings, is being sued by She's Alive LLC, the company overseeing Parton's business empire, for allegedly threatening and extorting the estate of Parton, who died on Aug. 25 after a brief battle with cancer.

According to the court filing, submitted Monday in Davidson County Chancery Court in Nashville, a process server who tried to deliver court documents to Seaver observed that his residence has a "no-trespassing sign in the front yard and barbed wire draped across the handrails leading to the front door."

"Mr. Seaver attempted to evade service of process, and this Court should not reward that behavior," the filing states, adding that the server attempted to serve him three times. The estate also alleges that Seaver did not do anything to retain counsel despite saying that he would.

In the new filing, the estate asks the court to deny Seaver's request for an extension in the case.

Last month, Parton's estate was granted a temporary restraining order against Seaver — the family member who officially announced Parton's death in a video message shared on her social media — and his security company.

A Tennessee judge ruled on Sept. 23 that Seaver and his company show a "present and continuing disruption and threat" to She's Alive.

When reached by email on Tuesday, Seaver told ABC News the restraining order prevents him from speaking publicly about the case.

He previously denied the allegations against him and said he was fired as Parton's head of security over what he calls "contrived threats."

"I was fired. After the estate negotiated with me and my company for services in perpetuity and agreed to that service provision from my company," Seaver said in a Sept. 23 statement to ABC News. "A week later they fired me for these contrived 'threats.'"

A representative for Parton's estate did not immediately reply to ABC News.

In its latest filing, the estate is asking that the temporary restraining order against Seaver and his company be converted into a temporary injunction.

Parton, who became known for her entrepreneurial skills in addition to her music prowess, left behind a multimillion dollar estate, including the Dollywood amusement park.

She and her husband of nearly 60 years, Carl Dean, who died last year, had no children.

Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery officially merged on Tuesday, creating a new company with the name Skydance.

CEO David Ellison took to social media to announce the finalization of the $110 billion merger.

"Today is a new day for @Skydance, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who helped get us here. It's a big day, and we're just getting started. Let's go!" Ellison wrote.

In a press release, Ellison went deeper on what Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. means to him.

"Today is a historic day, not just for Skydance but for our entire industry. From the start, our ambition was to bring these two storied studios together and create a stronger competitor, with the talent, resources, and reach to tell great stories in every genre, on every platform, for audiences everywhere. Now that ambition is a reality," Ellison said.

The chairman and CEO continued, saying, "We're grateful to everyone who made this possible – the employees, creative talent, and production teams of both companies, who worked tirelessly to get us here and inspire audiences around the world every day, as well as the advisors and partners who guided this transaction to completion. Our focus now turns to the future: building a company that empowers creatives, entertains audiences and rewards shareholders. We couldn't be more excited to get to work."

This new combined company now includes two film studios (Warner Bros. and Paramount), two streaming services (HBO Max and Paramount+), the TV channels CBS and HBO, and the news organizations CBS News and CNN, as well as both programming libraries and collections of brands and franchises.

Ellison founded the film studio Skydance in 2006. Skydance acquired Paramount in August 2025.

The Emmys have a new home.

Starting in 2027, the Emmy Awards will stream exclusively on Prime Video as part of a six-year deal between the Television Academy and the Amazon-owned streaming service.

The new deal marks an end to the rotating deal among traditional broadcast networks ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC.

“Television has never been more global, and the Emmys should be a celebration that the world can share,” said Cris Abrego, chair of the Television Academy. “Now with Prime Video, audiences in more than 200 countries will be able to experience the Emmys live, with no subscription required.”

Abrego adds that the broadcast partners have been “tremendous stewards of the Emmys for many years,” but that having a dedicated home on Prime Video allows the Emmys to “build on that legacy.”

The move follows another big awards show moving to streaming: The Oscars will begin streaming live globally on YouTube in 2029.

It may be a little while longer before Battinson is back on the big screen.

'Love Story' actress Constance Zimmer reveals cancer diagnosis

Constance Zimmer has revealed she was diagnosed for breast cancer earlier this year.

The Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette actress took to Instagram on Sunday to write about her diagnosis. She shared all about the health development she kept a secret during the press tour for FX's Love Story.

"October is #breastcancerawarenessmonth and I never thought I’d be honoring it with my own story. On March 13th when I was away from home– I heard these words from my doctor over zoom: 'You have DCIS, also refereed to as Stage 0 breast cancer.' The silence was deafening," Zimmer wrote.

Love Story premiered on Feb. 12, almost exactly one month before Zimmer received the news.

"Here I was surrounded by women sharing their secrets about their Midlife truths – and I was holding onto the biggest secret I’d ever held. First, I had to call my husband and get home to tell our daughter in person," Zimmer wrote. "The mental toll that followed was overwhelming on certain days as I began talking to many more doctors then I would’ve liked. Feeling like my options were limited and most suggested what was the quickest way to get this mass out ASAP, which was a mastectomy."

Zimmer took time to decide whether or not she wanted the procedure. Eventually she was able to find a doctor who was able to do the operation without removing her breast.

"She was the first doctor to make me feel like what I wanted mattered and that made me weep with joy," Zimmer wrote. "It did take 3 surgeries - 3 weeks in a row, but she did it, she saved my breast and it looks good too!"

Zimmer went on to receive an Emmy nomination for her role in Love Story. During her public press tour, she decided to keep her diagnosis and treatment private. "I then followed my surgeries with radiation, while celebrating my Emmy Nomination," Zimmer wrote.

Now, Zimmer has announced that she is cancer free.

"From hospital gowns to Emmy glamour this was one hell of a ride," Zimmer wrote.

Jamie Foxx opens up 3 years after health scare, talks new standup special

Jamie Foxx appears in this image from an interview for ABC News. (ABC News)

At 58, actor, comedian and singer Jamie Foxx says he has "unfinished business" and is feeling more creative than ever, three years after a health scare sent him to the hospital.

"Man, I almost died," Foxx told ABC News' Will Reeve in an interview that aired Monday on Good Morning America. "I was almost outta here. Stand-up comedy doesn't come from an accomplished position. I have something to connect with people and say, 'Hey, man, I went through some stuff and I'm gonna tell it as funny as I can, but as real as I can.'"

In 2023, Foxx experienced a brain bleed that led to a stroke. He said nurses told him afterward that his chances of survival were slim.

"I went back to see those nurses that kept me alive," Foxx recalled. "She said, 'But Jamie, I'm gonna tell you something, you a miracle. You're a three percenter.' I said, 'What's that mean?' She said, 'Less than 3% of people that come in with what you have walk out of here.'"

But Foxx said his close circle of friends and loved ones helped him make a major recovery.

"They saw me at my most, you know, vulnerable. I had to depend on people," Foxx said. "I came to. I was in a wheelchair. I said, 'What's up with the wheelchair?!' When we all go, it's how they speak your name. It's how they feel about you. So, I kind of keep that in the back of my head when I'm telling jokes."

Following medical treatment and a recovery plan that involved playing pickleball, Foxx is back on stage, returning to his comedy roots.

"I've never been as creative as I am now, 58 years old, but I just still feel like there's some things that I'm really trying to get at," he said.

Foxx's latest project is a new Hulu standup special called Take Care of Yourself, which was filmed in Oakland, California, where Foxx kickstarted his career when he won the Bay Area Black Comedy Competition & Festival back in 1991. He even welcomed one of his daughters, Anelise, to share the spotlight with him in the special.

"To be on stage with my little one, with my daughter, to have her on stage with me rocking, showing her musical talents, and she's basically a quiet person, but her showing her artistry, that feels good," he said.

The new standup special, Jamie Foxx: Take Care of Yourself, premieres Wednesday on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.

Michael Douglas talks affair with Kathleen Turner, growing up in his dad's shadow

Michael Douglas speaks with ABC News' Diane Sawyer in an interview that aired on "Good Morning America" on Oct. 5, 2026. (ABC News)

Actor Michael Douglas is sharing new details about his decadeslong career in Hollywood, and the shadow he lived under as he climbed his way to the top.

Douglas, now 82, was born into Hollywood royalty as the son of actors Diana Douglas and Kirk Douglas.

It was his dad, a three-time Oscar nominee whom Michael Douglas describes as "larger than life," whose shadow loomed large over his son, both as a father and in Hollywood.

"I think he meant well, but he was out of that generation where you smacked around a fair amount," Michael Douglas told ABC News' Diane Sawyer, describing his father's temper that he said left him shy throughout his childhood.

In his 20s, Michael Douglas followed his dad into the world of acting, and said he soon had to turn down his own dad for a role.

While producing One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Michael Douglas said that though his dad desperately wanted the role of Randle Patrick McMurphy, the studio head and director felt that Kirk Douglas was too old for the part. Michael instead cast Jack Nicholson, who would go on to win an Oscar.

Over 50 years later, Michael Douglas told Sawyer that telling Kirk Douglas — who died in 2000 at age 103 — that he didn't get the role remains the "hardest thing I ever had to do."

In his new memoir, One Helluva Ride, Michael Douglas describes not only the familial relationships he had to navigate throughout his career, but also the personal ones.

The Fatal Attraction actor reveals for the first time in the book that he had an affair with his Romancing the Stone co-star Kathleen Turner, an affair they kept secret for 40 years.

Michael Douglas told Sawyer that he asked Turner and the other women mentioned in his memoir for their permission before writing about them.

"These are people I had relationships with over my 82 years and many of them long before Catherine was born," Michael Douglas said, referring to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, his wife of over 25 years, with whom he shares two children.

"I mean, people date, Diane, they do," he added when asked by Sawyer about the many women named in his memoir.

Tune in to Good Morning America on Tuesday, Oct. 6, from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. ET on ABC for more of Diane Sawyer's interview with Michael Douglas.

Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery will be called Skydance

After the expected close of the Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery merger, the company will take on a brand-new name.

CEO David Ellison has revealed that the company will be known as Skydance. He made the announcement in a post shared to social media on Friday.

"What once was the peak, is now just the beginning. Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first home for bold, quality storytelling," Ellison wrote.

The $110 billion merger is expected to finalize on Tuesday. Ellison pursued the merger for approximately a year. Additionally, a two-month delay was caused by antitrust lawsuits from 12 states and the Writers Guild of America.

Ellison explained why the name Skydance was chosen.

"First and foremost, as we bring Paramount and Warner Bros. together, we wanted to preserve what has made each of these studios iconic. Both have distinct identities, extraordinary legacies and brands that have resonated with audiences for generations. We never wanted a new corporate identity to diminish, alter or overshadow either one. Instead, we wanted a name that would give the combined company an identity of its own while allowing Paramount and Warner Bros. — and all our extraordinary brands — to remain in the spotlight," Ellison wrote.

He continued by writing that he has big goals for Skydance and that he "intends to purse them with passion, imagination and a willingness to take smart risks."

"At the same time, we will honor what makes Paramount and Warner Bros. special — giving both studios the opportunity to grow, tell more great stories and bring those stories to even broader audiences around the world, powered by the scale and capabilities of Skydance," Ellison wrote. "I couldn’t be more excited about what we’re going to build together."

Ellison founded the film studio Skydance in 2006. Skydance acquired Paramount in August 2025.

'Survivor' alum Rick Devens makes historic 'Big Brother' 28 win

History was made when Rick Devens was crowned the winner of Big Brother season 28 on Thursday night.

The 42-year-old father of two is the first former Survivor contestant to win the game. Devens beat out this season’s second-place finisher Taylor Brown in a 6-1 vote.

After winning the season's final Head of Household competition, Devens made the decision to betray one of his closest allies, Drew Campbell, by casting the sole vote to evict him.

Devens brought Brown to the final two chairs, where Campbell and five other members of the jury — Angela Murray, Barrett Pfeiffer, Yash Patel, Melody Morris and Dee Valladares — voted for Devens to win season 28 of the reality competition series. LaTrice “Lala” Verrett was the only vote for Brown to win the game.

In addition to winning the season, Devens became the second person to win both the game and the fan-voted America’s Favorite Player award. The first to do so was season 24 winner Taylor Hale. This means Devens won an extra $50,000 along with his $750,000 grand prize.

Additionally, Devens unleashed a twist in the house during the season called The Pharaoh's Curse, where he snagged an additional $10,000. Because of both wins and the additional $10,000, Devens cemented himself as the player to have won the most money in the history of American Big Brother with $810,000.

Even more Big Brother is on the way. Host Julie Chen Moonves confirmed that the series has been renewed for two additional seasons, 29 and 30, and promised the audience she will see them back again next summer.
