Barris is best known as the creator of Black-ish. Just last month, it was announced that Barris would be directing The Wizard of Oz remake. Though there have been numerous adaptations of Frank L. Baum’s fantasy series, the most well-known is the 1939 film adaptation, which was famously filmed in color and remains iconic to this day. Other adaptations of Baum’s work exist, but most other adaptations choose to riff on the visuals present in the 1939 version....

The National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) is building a rotating museum and a Hall of Fame here to commemorate the achievements of its Olympic heroes. The museum will be complemented by a rooftop garden with a viewing deck, where visitors can relax and enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the city as the uppermost floor rotates. “The rotating portion of the floor is on a turntable system supported by stainless steel structures embedded in strong concrete while the rotation mechanism is to be synchronised by a motor powered system,” the project architect Vincent Ochieng told Xinhua Wednesday....

His last performance at the Bird’s Nest at the 2008 Olympic Games was a disappointment, but world 3,000 metres steeplechase champion Ezekiel Kemboi of Kenya is hopeful that he will be successful on his return next month. Seven years ago, Kemboi could only manage a seventh place finish as compatriot Brimin Kipruto ran away with the gold medal, Xinhua reported on Thursday. Kemboi, however, is not keen to put all his cards on the table during the national trials in Nairobi on Friday and Saturday because he holds a wild card as a world champion....

The German scaled the heights of women’s tennis two years ago after a year that included grand slam titles at the Australian and US Open, as well as a loss to Serena Williams in the final at the All England Club. On Saturday, Kerber avenged that defeat by beating the American great – who was attempting to equal Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 grand slams – 6-3 6-3 on Centre Court....

Golden State enter the matchup at Oracle Arena with a one-game lead over Denver in the Western Conference standings. A win will give the Warriors the inside track for the top seed in the playoffs. “Nothing is as big as a playoff game, but it’s a big game in terms of the number one seed and protecting our home court,” Kerr told reporters, via the San Francisco Chronicle. “We take care of our business and win tomorrow, we’re obviously in great shape down the stretch with the last 10 days of the season....

Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill/Star-Lord has referenced Bacon in multiple MCU films. In 2011’s Guardians of the Galaxy, Quill notes that the actor is his childhood hero. In Avengers: Infinity War, Quill even asked Tom Holland’s Peter Parker if Footloose is still the best movie ever. Footloose was one of the few films the Celestial-Human hybrid was able to see before he was abducted from Earth in 1988. The reference led to Bacon hilariously challenging Pratt to a dance-off on social media....

Ahead of Game 1 of the 2019 NBA Finals, Jimmy Kimmel shared an NBA version of his popular “Mean Tweets” segment. It kicks off with Warriors forward Kevin Durant being called, well, a lot of things.

Kevin Durant had himself a night against the Wizards, dropping 39 points on just 20 shots, but he couldn’t help but be in awe of the bucket-getting displays from Boston’s Jayson Tatum and Phoenix’s Devin Booker. With Chris Paul sidelined, Booker took the reigns of the Suns’ offense and he simply couldn’t miss, erupting for 51 points on 20-of-25 from the field, including 6-of-7 from the 3-point line, with his ruthless efficiency powering the Suns to a 132-113 win over the Chicago Bulls....

Olsen’s appearance in Doctor Strange 2 was slightly controversial. Some felt that Wanda’s character development was regressive and reversed her WandaVision character arc, while others felt that her antagonistic role fit the character, who has oscillated between hero and villain and anti-hero and everything in between. Most seem to agree that the fault does not lie with Olsen, however, and view her performance as excellent. By the end of Doctor Strange 2, Scarlet Witch seemingly died to redeem herself, but a few did not see this as conclusive, nor did they feel her character was finished....

He’s living with his mother-in-law. MORE: NASCAR Media Tour images Actually, it’s really not that bad for Harvick, his wife DeLana and 18-month-old son Keelan. “We’re living at DeLana’s mother’s house — it’s been awesome,” Harvick said Monday during the Sprint Media Tour. “It’s been fun, honestly. I get along with her mom great.” In fact, Kevin might be enjoying it more than his wife? “Oh for sure,” Harvick said....

Kedah look set to lose two key players at the end of this 2017 season after Ken Ilso and Zac Anderson both announced their coming departure from the team through their respective social media accounts on Saturday. This comes as a big blow for the Red Eagles and leaves them needing to seek for replacement to bolster their squad ahead of their participation in the 2018 AFC Cup competition. Both players have played an instrumental part in helping Kedah to lift the FA Cup this season as well as pushing Johor Darul Ta’zim in the Super League campaign....

They also happen to be ethnic Tibetans, who are usually raised as Buddhists from birth. That Catholic missionaries were able to make any inroads at all in this brigand-infested hinterland during the last century is testament to their persistence–and to Cizhong’s hard-bitten poverty....

By Tuesday night, Olbermann had named the older Sestito The Worst Person in the Sports World. No big deal, though — Olbermann hands that out every night, albeit usually without using the phrase "boxing hobo." Anyway, the Sestitos didn't appreciate it and silliness ensued. Steve Lepore has the whole thing covered at Awful Announcing, but Victoria Sestito, in at least some fashion, got the last word. Also, and again, she is 13....

If that name sounds familiar, it’s probably because it’s a knowing reference to the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special: a live-action Star Wars Christmas film so bad that even George Lucas wanted to forget it ever happened. It also seems to plot similarities, with Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewie, Rose and the droids gathering to celebrate Life Day, which serves as the Star Wars universe’s stand-in for Christmas. Kelly Marie Tran, Billy Dee Williams, and Anthony Daniels are among the most recent actors to be confirmed as reprising their roles from the films....

Conway’s comments came as the U.S. remember’s the iconic activist on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a holiday in memory of his legacy. The president “agrees with many of the things that Dr. Martin Luther King stood for and agreed with for many years, including unity and equality, and he’s not the one trying to tear the country apart through an impeachment process,” Conway told reporters at the White House....

Boston is the most likely destination for Kemba Walker, according to a report from the Dallas Morning News, which cites an unidentified league source. The Hornets are also in contention to retain him, while the Lakers and Mavericks are still in the mix, as well. The Celtics will need to retool their roster this summer as Kyrie Irving and Al Horford are expected to leave and sign elsewhere. Boston president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said earlier this week the team was “exploring different opportunities” in free agency and on the trade market....
