'Friday Night Lights' Actor, 45, Reveals Surprising Connection to Justin Timberlake
'Friday Night Lights' Actor, 45, Reveals Surprising Connection to Justin Timberlake originally appeared on Parade. Friday Night Lights actor Scott Porter shared a never-to-forget moment with Justin Timberlake before they were stars. Porter also has a musical talent, which Hart of Dixie fans know. The actor recently shed light on his days in VoicePlay. Porter was a founding member of the group, where he honed his beatboxing up for NSYNC on their first tour in the '90s. Speaking with Page Six to promote the new season of Ginny & Georgia, Porter recalled a special moment with Timberlake. 'There was one particular performance that I remember. We were singing on a floating stage in the middle of a lake and had to take a little boat on the way out. And we didn't spend a lot of time with NSYNCat all,' he expressed. 'But on that particular stage, we had to all go out together on this boat. So Justin and I were beatboxing with each other on this boat.' Porter explained that years later, he was filming Speed Racer in Berlin when Timberlake was playing a concert there. The actor recalled Timberlake recognizing him backstage at the concert, but not from Friday Night Lights. 'He [Timberlake] goes, you're the beatboxer that I beatboxed with on that boat to that floating stage in Florida.' I don't know how Justin Timberlake even remembered that, but he did, and that was pretty cool,' Porter shared. It was quite the trip down memory lane for Porter and his fans, too. Some of his fans, though, were more shocked by his VoicePlay news than the Timberlake story. 'how did it not know he was the founder of freaking VoicePlay,' and 'HE'S A FOUNDING MEMBER OF VOICEPLAY?!?!?!' were a couple of comments on the Page Six TikTok featuring Porter's interview. 'Friday Night Lights' Actor, 45, Reveals Surprising Connection to Justin Timberlake first appeared on Parade on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

Virgin River fans say 'do not watch' new Netflix show that's 'just like it'
Virgin River fans have been left bitterly disappointed by a new Netflix show that they say is absolutely nothing like the romantic drama Virgin River enthusiasts have been advising Netflix viewers to give a wide berth to a new series that's been likened to the adored rustic romance. The beloved show has captivated audiences for six seasons, with anticipation building for a seventh series to continue following the lives of nurse practitioner Mel Monroe (played by Alexandra Breckenridge) and her former Marine beau, Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson). With Virgin River on pause, legions of fans have been on the hunt for kindred spirits in their television line-up to satisfy their craving for homely drama. Touted alternatives have been Sullivan's Crossing, Firefly Lane, and Hart of Dixie, each carrying a vibe akin to Virgin River's heartfelt narrative. Yet, a freshly released series has seemingly failed to hit the same emotive notes, if the sentiments of some disgruntled spectators are anything to go by, reports the Mirror US. The show stirring debate is Ransom Canyon, which follows three ranching families entangled in a longstanding territorial dispute. Taking the lead is Josh Duhamel as Staten Kirkland, who, while grappling with personal loss, finds himself drawn to his old friend Quinn O'Grady (Minka Kelly). The plot thickens as a mysterious newcomer arrives, unravelling deep-seated secrets. Despite the ripe blend of sorrow, family quandaries and love affairs mirroring those sought after by Virgin River fanatics, a candid Reddit post from one devotee conveyed a different narrative. Their statement read: "Virgin River Dupe - I Think Not. Under advisement of the VR community I started Ransom Canyon and now I know that you all can't be trusted lol. "I quit after one episode and I don't think I'll return." They went on to blast Ransom Canyon for giving off "major soap opera vibes" and thought that the on-screen chemistry between the leading pair was lacking. "They could never compare to Jack and Mel," they added. "By episode one I knew they were meant to be." This outspoken criticism sparked a mixed reaction from fellow viewers. Many agreed with the assessment of Ransom Canyon. One user replied: "Same here. Watched half of the first episode and that was it for me. Nothing even close to VR." Get Netflix free with Sky from £15 Sky Get the deal here Product Description Another person added: "I was recommended RC by at least 5 people telling me if I liked Yellowstone I would like it. "I forced myself to get to episode 3 and I just couldn't do any more. It wasn't believable to me! I couldn't get into it!" However, other viewers encouraged the critical fan to give Ransom Canyon another chance. One wrote: "I just finished Ransom Canyon, and I honestly didn't expect to get this attached. I watched it slowly, really taking my time to sit with the characters and the story. "The show isn't without its flaws, but it made me feel a lot. I've really fallen for this cast and this world, and I think a lot of you will feel the same." A different fan shared: "I enjoyed Ransom Canyon and hope we get another season. Virgin River has soap opera vibes too but I enjoy it also." Will Ransom Canyon be your next binge-watch, or will you hold out for the upcoming seventh season of Virgin River? Virgin River and Ransom Canyon are available to stream on Netflix.

Jaime King says ‘system is really unfair' after ex-husband Kyle Newman wins primary custody
Jaime King has spoken out about her custody battle with ex-husband Kyle Newman, nearly a month after a Los Angeles judge granted him sole primary custody of their two children. The 'Hart of Dixie' star and model got candid about her relationship with 'Barely Lethal' filmmaker Newman and her determination to 'protect my children' in Thursday's episode of actor Jana Kramer's podcast, 'Whine Down.' King, 45, told Kramer that the fallout of her legal battle with Newman 'is scary.' King also said she will continue to fight for her children. 'It's very upsetting, and I will do everything in my power to change this system, and it's not a will. I'm going to,' she said. 'There's no price to pay for freedom.' During the podcast, King and Kramer voiced support for each other as they bonded over their shared experiences with turbulent marriages and custody battles. 'One Tree Hill' alum Kramer has previously detailed the physical and emotional abuse she suffered in a past relationship. King told the podcast host that she had a different understanding of marriage when she tied the knot with Newman, whom she did not mention by name throughout the podcast. '[Getting married] was something I was very proud of and I just didn't know that the world works like this. I didn't know that legal systems work like this,' she said. 'Not to sound like some kind of neophyte, but I thought that when you choose to love someone, you love that person. You build a family with them and you trust them.' She added: 'Sometimes it's not always that way.' King married Newman in November 2007 and welcomed sons James and Leo in 2013 and 2015, respectively. She filed her petition to divorce Newman in May 2020, citing 'irreconcilable differences.' Though the ex-spouses settled their divorce in September 2023, they traded scathing allegations in the process. King had accused Newman of verbal and emotional abuse while Newman raised concerns about King's alleged drug and alcohol use and her struggles with addiction. The 'White Chicks' star said she has avoided speaking about the family matters because 'I never wanted my children to think that any part of them was wrong.' 'I'm extremely grateful and, at the same time, the system is really unfair. And I think that it's really important to support the structure of family,' she said. 'Kindness is the key to everything.' In the podcast, she negatively likened her custody battle to political campaigning, further voiced her issues with the legal system and accused her ex-husband of using her past struggles with addiction against her in their custody battle. 'I've never had to think about myself as sober or not sober. I stopped using drugs at 17 or something,' she said. As part of the custody decision in March, King is subject to supervised visitation — until the court rules otherwise — because she has not yet completed several requirements, including a six-month drug and alcohol program with weekly testing, aftercare and a 12-step program, according to the filing. King was also ordered to complete a 26-week parenting program, individual counseling to 'address case issues' and joint counseling with her children when the children's 'therapist deems it appropriate.' At the time, a legal representative for Newman told The Times that the filmmaker 'is happy to have his children in his safe and loving home on a full-time basis and hopes that with time Ms. King will make progress in her recovery to enable her to be a present, appropriate and responsible parent to the parties' minor children.' King in Thursday's episode also claimed that the details of the custody order were 'inaccurate.'

Jaime King's ex Kyle Newman wins physical custody of sons as she's ordered to rehab
Jaime King and ex-husband Kyle Newman's custody battle over their children has ended. A Los Angeles judge earlier this month awarded 'Barely Lethal' and 'Fanboys' director Newman sole primary custody over the two sons he shares with actor-model King, according to legal documents reviewed by The Times. The custody order says the ex-spouses will have joint legal custody over 11-year-old James and 9-year-old Leo, but that Newman, 49, has 'tie-breaking authority.' The custody order, filed March 11 in Los Angeles County Superior Court, lays out the schedule and terms of King's visitation. The 'White Chicks' and 'Hart of Dixie' star, 45, is subject to supervised visitation — until the court rules otherwise — because she has not yet completed several requirements including a six-month drug and alcohol program that includes weekly testing, aftercare and a 12-step program, according to the filing. King also has yet to complete a 26-week parenting program, individual counseling to 'address case issues' and joint counseling with her children when the children's 'therapist deems it appropriate.' Neither representatives for King nor Newman immediately responded to The Times' request for comment on Tuesday. The court order came down nearly five years after King filed her petition to divorce Newman in May 2020. At the time, King cited 'irreconcilable differences' for ending their marriage after 12 years and sought joint legal and physical custody over her children with Newman. They married in Los Angeles in November 2007 and welcomed James and Leo (whose godmother is pop star Taylor Swift) in 2013 and 2015, respectively. King and Newman settled their divorce in September 2023, but not without contention. Amid their divorce and custody battle, King and Newman traded blows via legal documents. As part of her divorce petition, King had accused her husband of verbal and emotional abuse. In his filings, Newman denied those claims and raised damning concerns about King's alleged drug and alcohol use and her struggles with addiction. He reportedly dubbed King a 'chronic drug addict and alcoholic who refuses to acknowledge that she has a problem.' He also said friends informed him that King allegedly used drugs while pregnant with their second child and detailed an alleged incident of King driving under the influence, according to People. The terms of their settlement were not disclosed, but a legal representative for Newman told PageSix in September 2023, 'I am hopeful that this will be a clean beginning for them.' The attorney added: 'They both understand they will be in each other's lives forever, and that their children deserve nothing but the best from both of them.' Neither King nor Newman, who married 31-year-old singer Cyn in 2023, addressed the order on social media. The latter on Monday shared pictures from a belated birthday dinner and celebrated St. Patrick's Day with photos of his children. 'On this St. Patrick's Day, I'm the luckiest!,' Newman captioned an Instagram story shared Monday. Times researcher Cary Schneider contributed to this report.
