Zac Efron Goes Viral for His Confused Reaction to Brother Dylan’s ‘DWTS’ Score: ‘He’s Not Been Clocked In’ | Video

Zac Efron finally visited “Dancing With the Stars” to support his brother Dylan — and it seems like he wasn’t exactly sure about some elements of the show. After Dylan and his dance partner, Daniella Karagach, received straight 9s from judges, Zac was shown in the audience asking a clarifying question about the score. Zac appeared to ask, “Are those good scores?” in response to Dylan and Karagach’s 27. But others who saw the clip thought he might have asked, “Is that their high score?” instead, before appearing to add, “Oh! Good job.” The reaction prompted plenty of responses on social media. “Probably thought the scale went to 100 lmaoooo,” wrote one person X. Another added, “He hasn’t even been watching lmao.” A third noted, “Zac has not been clocked in lol.” Meanwhile, a fourth chimed in with, “I can’t believe they got him to come to this.” However, Zac’s appearance in the audience was broadly celebrated. The “Ricky Stanicky” actor was seated with his younger sister, Olivia, for the “DWTS” visit that came after weeks of fan speculation that he might show up. Zac hinted at his appearance on Instagram ahead of Tuesday night’s episode when he encouraged his followers to vote for Dylan. In October, Dylan was asked why Zac had refrained from visiting the show so far. He told Extra at the time, “Hey, he’s doing his thing,” before noting his brother was “supporting me every day.” Dylan and Daniella performed an Argentine tango to “I Would Die 4 U” for Prince Night. The duo managed to make it to the next round of the dance competition, the Season 34 finale. Though the pair will advance, judge Carrie Ann Inaba noted that Dylan didn’t seem to be entirely in time with the music, and Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough both said the influencer needed to clean up his technique. “Dancing With the Stars” airs live on Tuesdays on ABC and streams on Disney+ in local time zones and the next day on Hulu.

YouTube TV Will Issue $20 Credits to Customers Who Experience Disney Blackout

YouTube TV will follow through on its promise to reimburse customers in the event of a Disney-related blackout beginning Sunday. The internet company previously pledged to issue $20 credits if customers lost access to Disney and related channels (including local ABC stations and ESPN) for “an extended period of time.” YouTube will begin sending out the credits if no deal is in place to bring Disney and the brand’s related channels back to the service. All eligible customers will be issued credits by November 12. YouTube TV subscribers have not been able to watch Disney’s channels since October 30. Should Disney agree to a proposed deal, the channels will be accessible “in a matter of hours.” “We know that subscribers are frustrated with the disruption and we continue to urge Disney to work with us constructively to reach a fair agreement that restores their networks to YouTube TV as soon as possible,” YouTube said in a statement on Saturday. The companies have been sparring over the price of the service. YouTube TV currently costs $82.99 per month. Google has claimed Disney is charging too high of a fee, and Disney has claimed Google is “refusing to pay fair rates for our channels.” “Rather than compete on a level playing field, Google’s YouTube TV has approached these negotiations as if it were the only player in the game,” Disney Entertainment co-chairs Dana Walden and Alan Bergman and ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro insisted in a memo sent to staff Friday. “It goes without saying that the reason so many consumers value our programming above others is because we invest in the best talent, creators and content in the world, and we cannot allow anyone to undercut our ability to do so,” the email also stated. “We know how difficult this situation is for the YouTube TV customers we serve, and for all of you who provide the sports programming, entertainment, news and live events that our fans know and love,” the memo concluded. “Thank you for the incredible work you do each and every day and for staying focused on maintaining such a high bar throughout this difficult situation.”

Jeremy Renner’s Attorney Sends Cease-and-Desist Letter to Filmmaker Yi Zhou Over Harassment Allegations

Jeremy Renner escalated the dispute between himself and Yi Zhou, with his attorney sending a cease-and-desist to the filmmaker who accused the Marvel actor of harassing and threatening her. TMZ reported Saturday that Renner’s attorney Marty Singer filed the paperwork Friday on the actor’s behalf. The letter notes Renner agreed to be part of Zhou’s documentary “Chronicles of Disney” over the summer, saying the two had a “brief consensual encounter” when she came onto him – but things quickly soured. Renner says he told Zhou he did not want to continue the relationship when they met again a month later. He also claims Zhou sent him “hundreds of explicit texts” and accuses Zhou of threatening to “harm him publicly.” Zhou accused Renner last week of sending her unwanted explicit photos, yelling at her extensively while drunk and threatening to turn her into immigration authorities. She posted several screenshots of their WhatsApp conversations to her Instagram account, as well as lengthy descriptions of her experience of the relationship. “In June 2025, out of the blue I received 2 photos of Jeremy Renner and then a string of unwanted / unsolicited pornographic images of himself via DM and Whatspp, that was his introduction to me,” she wrote in one post. “This experience really shows the dark side of Hollywood and the smear campaign to deter women and Asian female filmmakers and women in general,” she continued. “I’m appalled but happy to read also many support from friends and media that will continue to uncover domestic abuse, abuse of women and the unwanted unsolicited porn attack against innocent young women. I love Hollywood, but we need to stop the cover up for misconduct affecting other women.” A spokesperson for Renner told TheWrap on Friday that “the accusations being made by this individual are totally inaccurate and untrue.” Singer’s lawfirm did not immediately respond Saturday to a request for comment. Renner was married to model Sonni Pacheco in 2014, and divorced the following year. The two were locked in a contentious custody battle in 2019, in which she accused him of attempting to kill her. Renner denied the allegations.
