The new boss at '60 Minutes', Nick Bilton, wants the venerable newsmagazine to be more prevalent in popular culture and the news cycle, rather than merely holding forth in its usual place on Sunday evenings on CBS. Meanwhile, 'Love Island USA' has set its Season 8 cast, which includes Zach Georgiou, the brother of Season 7 islander Charlie, and Beatriz Hatz, a bronze medal-winning Paralympic athlete.

New Faces and New Formats

Mika Abdalla is set to take the leading lady title in 'Off Campus' season two, and she's more than ready. The 26-year-old actress has been in the industry for nearly 20 years and has spent nearly all her life in front of the camera in some way. Scooter Braun, former manager to Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Kanye West, and many more, has opened up about Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Spencer Pratt, and Sydney Sweeney in a new 90-minute 'Second Thought' interview.
