00:10Here are today's top stories.

00:31was created to serve as a master class

00:33for the students of the Actor's Studio Drama School,

00:36a joint venture of the Actor's Studio and the New School.

00:38With Paul Newman as its initial guest,

00:41each one-hour program featured a top performer

00:43in an intimate and in-depth one-on-one interview with Lipton.

00:46Nearly 300 subjects, including many Oscar and Emmy winners,

00:50shared the secrets of their craft with Lipton

00:52and his audience of students before the TV cameras.

00:55The show became one of Cable's longest-running series.

00:59Next, the new Bachelorette was revealed

01:00on Good Morning America Today,

01:02and no one saw this coming.

01:03THR's Neha Joy has more.

01:05The newly-minted Bachelorette is none other

01:07than Claire Crawley, who true Bachelor fans will remember

01:10as the runner-up on Juan Pablo's season.

01:13And if you're shocked by the big reveal, you're not alone.

01:15The Bachelorette revealed the news came as a surprise,

01:18even to herself.

01:19But we can't help but feel like Crawley is the perfect choice for the lead role.

01:30Crawley first won over Bachelor Nation when she famously told off Juan Pablo

01:33at the final rose ceremony of his season of The Bachelor.

01:36What you just made me go through, I would never want my children having a father like you.

01:41OK.

01:43Woo! You tell them, girl!

01:45Crawley also had stints on spinoffs Bachelor in Paradise,

01:48as well as Bachelor Winter Games, where she was briefly engaged to The Bachelorette Canada

01:51star Benoit before breaking it off shortly after the show.

01:55Claire Crawley is 38 years old.

01:57Her casting comes after recent cycles of The Bachelor have been criticized

02:00for casting younger contestants.

02:02Meanwhile, Judge Judy is coming to an end after 25 seasons.

02:05Neha has more on that story, too.

02:07The syndicated court show host appeared on Monday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show,

02:10where she told Ellen that the 2020-2021 season of Judge Judy will also be its last.

02:15Ugh, so sad.

02:17I want you to stop getting hysterical over nothing!

02:21OK, she's right. There is a silver lining to this news.

02:24While opening up to Ellen about the end of her show,

02:26she did reveal she has a new project in the works.

02:29So, Judy Justice will be coming out.

02:32But as far as details are concerned, she's keeping that pretty coy, saying she can't tell us just yet.

02:38Finally, on the same day that tickets went on sale for the 25th Bond film No Time to Die,

02:42there have been calls for the film's release date to be postponed.

02:45No Time to Die is due for an international rollout in early April,

02:49following its world premiere in London on March 31st.

02:52But as the impact of the coronavirus continues to spread internationally,

02:56a group of fans who have already endured three sets of delays have now urged producers Eon

03:01and distributors MGM and Universal to push the release until the summer.

03:05History isn't kind to men who play God.

03:08In an open letter, writers for the biggest Bond fan blog, the MI6HQ website,

03:13said that the company should put public health above marketing release schedules.

03:17Co-written by James Page, co-founder of the website, and David Lee, founder of the James Bond dossier,

03:22the letter applauded the decision to cancel the film's publicity tours in China, South Korea, and Japan,

03:28and postpone its release in Hong Kong until April 30th.

03:31But looking at a potential hit on the film's box office haul,

03:34the letter stated that the developed nations that have banned or restricted large public gatherings

03:39to contain the community spread of coronavirus, including Italy, France, Switzerland, Japan, Hong Kong, and South Korea,

03:46amounted to 38 percent of the total global earnings of the last Bond movie.

03:51The letter also anticipated how the virus could spread in the U.S.,

03:54causing cinemas to close or at least see reduced attendance.
