Tonight, Britney Spears arrested.

You're out of creaking, firming, and driving with their camera lights.

How in the span of an hour, she went from dancing on Instagram to in handcuffs.

Her inner circle now speaking out.

Then Savannah has come back to her home here at 30 Rock.

Savannah Guthrie embraced at the Today Show, the emotional reunion.

How are you holding up?

Will she return to air while the search continues for her missing mom?

Then when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody,

you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

The win Harry Met Sally moment you could see at the Oscars.

Plus, couples news, Aaron Rodger shades his celebrity exes.

I got myself into, you know, crazy town.

And is Chloe Kardashian considering having another baby with ex-tristan Thompson?

Do I just do this?

Plus Nick Cannon and three of his 12 kids.

You ready?

We're ready.

Woo!

Steal the show.

EP starts now.

A surprise return to 30 Rock for Savannah Guthrie.

33 days after the disappearance of her mom Nancy.

Hello everyone and welcome to Entertainment Tonight.

We're going to get to Savannah's Today Show visit in just a bit.

But we are starting with new trouble for Britney Spears, Kevin.

Yeah, Michelle, the news broke earlier today.

Britney arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence.

Here is the very latest.

I just want to be a happy person.

Life is in.

You're having great confirming and driving with their family.

Unfortunate and completely inexcusable.

That's how Britney's own rep described her DUI arrest.

Adding, hopefully, this can be the first step in long overdue change

that needs to occur in Britney's life.

My philosophy is just taking you stay at a time.

Maybe they have her considering getting to some kind of treatment program

as it contains drugs or alcohol.

And then go back to the postures.

She's often said she was going through it a lot of time.

Is there any way we can get her every juice charge

so she can avoid the serious consequences

associated with your life conditions?

The CHP tells us it was a combo of a drug and alcohol arrest.

And here's ET's timeline of Britney's dramatic night.

Around 845, the singer reposted this video

wearing heavy black eye makeup and purple lingerie.

She was pulled over less than an hour later at 9.28 pm.

Blastings and news and news.

Inheritance and news.

Britt was then reportedly taken to a nearby hospital

for a blood draw.

The possible reason?

What a blood test can we assess.

Not just for alcohol,

a prescription medication, things like that.

At 3.02 a.m., Britney was booked here

at the Moore Park Sheriff's Station,

reportedly emotional and crying during the process.

She was finally released at 607 a.m.

Britney's BMW was impounded.

Page 6 with a shot of it at a nearby tow yard.

Her court date is May 4th.

But Britney's driving has certainly caused concern before.

Last October, she was swarming, drifting,

and weaving in and out of traffic lanes.

I kind of have to sound the alarm.

Around the time, Britney's ex, Kevin Federline, told me

he was extremely worried about her.

And I pray to God every day

that she gets the help that she needs or wakes up and realizes

that you have two sons right there

in front of you that are screaming for a life with you.

I really want Britney to be around

for our children for a long time.

From California to New York now,

Savannah Guthrie returned to the today show set

for the first time since mom Nancy's disappearance

33 days ago.

I'm Miss Guthrie.

We are so sorry about what's going on.

We've had a powerful morning this morning.

Savannah has come back to her home.

Here at 30 Rock.

She talked to all of us, hugged every single person in this room.

TMZ video shows emotional moments inside Studio 1A,

a tear-eyed Hota Kotby who had been filling in for the co-anchor,

giving Savannah a kiss on the cheek

and the 54-year-old giving a tearful speech.

Saying in part, quote,

I'm still standing and I still have hope.

A source tells ET she wanted to be with

and thank her today colleagues.

She said that she has the intention to return to the show,

even though it feels like the hardest thing to do.

It's also her home.

While Savannah awaits a pending return,

we're told her focus is supporting her family

and working to bring Nancy home.

We know that millions of you have been praying.

All of your prayers, she feels them, she depends on them.

We still believe in America.

Please be the light in the dark.

Bring her home. That's all we all want.

Bring her home.

Gayle King, among those sending support,

got some herself from her CBS morning's colleagues today,

just one day after signing a deal to stay.

I'm here to celebrate Gayle King's

as her day off.

She genuinely is so supportive.

Like you guys might not know this.

Like the very first person that texted us

after a first show on Saturday with Gayle.

Before I even started at CBS News,

she emailed me and said,

Vlad, I'm so happy you're coming to CBS.

And I didn't even know her.

Also, her love of our crew

and she hosts a crew appreciation day,

which is amazing.

This is Gayle. Every year she does this.

I really love what I do.

I love what I do.

Amid her time off,

Gayle has been living it up with Bestie Oprah.

The two were all smiles today at Paris Fashion Week.

Front row near Amy Lou Wood,

Mod Aptow and Olivia Rodriguez.

I am so happy to be on the planet

doing what we get to do every day.

Enjoy insanity wherever I can go.

As for these two former colleagues,

Joy Behar and Elizabeth Hasselbeck,

the ladies are speaking out

about reuniting on the view this week

after years upon air spans.

But Elizabeth, Elizabeth, we need strong borders.

Only 5% of people detained by ice

have violent convictions.

No matter who would disagree with me,

I would go up against them.

It's called the view.

People don't seem to remember that that's what the show is called.

I feel like this would maybe

cause less abortions in the world.

You know what people would keep having kids and said

they'd get the 500 dollar.

Elizabeth, Elizabeth, everyone was like,

are you going to survive 50?

I'm like, no, I'm going back to the view for a week.

That is way more intense.

You should be able to defend your position.

When you put a few women together,

even in a major table,

you're going to have some fights.

While ETs have been there for many disagreements,

this week's guest co-host tells the behind the table podcast,

there's no hard feelings.

I feel so much closer to joy,

even though we've been apart for so many years,

she feels like family to me.

You know, I always like to.

We used to fight on the air about politics,

but so on.

Well, NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers

is having a hot mic moment,

revealing his spicy fitness motivation.

You know, I want to look good with my wife

doing a f***ing all the time.

Aaron is only revealed.

His secret wife's name is Brittany with an eye

because he claims there's a bounty to get a photo of her.

And on the Pat McAfee show,

the man who dated Shaline Woodley,

Olivia Munn and Dana Capatric took aim.

I got myself into, you know,

crazy town.

And I was with individuals who call the paparazzi,

who leaked where I was living,

who, you know,

coerced me to make, you know,

the proverbial, you know,

Instagram, social media posts.

I never really wanted to live a public life.

And Chloe Kardashian is dropping a baby bombshell

on her Chloe in Wonderland podcast,

wanting more kids with her cheating ex, Tristan Thompson.

I do have a few more embryos in the freezer.

I don't think I have like the energy for another baby,

but I do think girls need sisters.

And I have been contemplating like,

do I just do this?

The pair share seven-year-old true and three-year-old Tatum.

And while she doesn't say they are Tristan's embryos,

her position on having baby number three

would ideally be with someone else.

But then I was thinking I would put the baby in a surrogate.

And if it doesn't work, that means

God didn't want me to have another baby.

Let's move on to some Oscar news.

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal are expected to reunite next Sunday

with other stars to honor their late director Rob Reiner

during the in-memorium segment.

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life

with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start

as soon as possible.

The duo who starred in Rob's iconic film

when Harry Men's Alley hasn't been seen together

since December of 2024 filming this Super Bowl commercial.

ET was exclusively on set nearly a year to the day.

Rob and his wife, Michelle, would be killed.

That was our family.

We became best friends, a closeness like a brother to me.

Billy was seen at the Reiner's home

as the tragic news broke just over two months ago.

Do anything for this guy.

Tomorrow Rob would have turned 79

and his late wife, 71st birthday, was Tuesday.

If we are not going to dinner.

While Nick Reiner remains jailed on murder charges

until in April 29th hearing, a source tells ET

his siblings are absolutely devastated

and leaning on each other.

Both Romeo and Jake have been going

through a whirlwind of emotions and stages of grief,

both with their parents and Nick.

Having children, those things seem to be much more important to me.

Still really hard to believe that he is gone.

Still ahead, Chris O'Donnell stopped by

to talk about his 911 crossover.

There's a firefighter at Games.

A sneak peek at tonight's LA meets music city mashup

plus what we found in the ET vault

that left him nearly speechless.

Oh, I mean, that's a great clip.

Well, then, it's an ET exclusive.

Nick Cannon with his kids ready to follow

and his showbiz footsteps.

I am five years old.

I'm nine years old.

And his wife.

And the ET gets retrospective with John Slattery.

God help me.

From sex in the city to mad men, untold stories

from his most memorable roles.

And he said, and then you get out of the bed

and walk across the room naked.

And I am joined now by our friend,

Chris O'Donnell, the star of the hit ABC series 9-1-1 Nashville.

It feels like I have said that a lot.

Our friend, Chris O'Donnell, star of hit.

It's been pretty good for you.

I've been very fortunate because it's a hard business

and to be able to have a run like NCIS and Los Angeles.

It was amazing and excited to be in Nashville

making 9-1-1 Nashville.

We're having a blast.

All right, hey, come on.

We've got more flames.

Where's that work?

And look who's stopping by.

Tonight on ABC,

they're having a two-hour crossover event

with 9-1-1 OGs, Ryan Guzman, and Oliver Starr.

It was really fun to have them come over.

And for the fans, it's great.

Thank you, gentlemen.

There's a firefighter games.

They are representing the city of Los Angeles.

Oh, okay.

There's some pretty good competitive spirit.

You're a good buddy, LL.

How do we get them there, Keith?

You'd be great.

I'd love to.

Do you have a role in mind that maybe he could do?

There could be a concert,

and maybe he needs to be rescued from some emergency.

That's a good idea.

I love that.

Yeah.

I'd never spent so much time with another individual

outside of my wife, probably.

He's a man.

He is the coolest individual I've met.

He really is.

The name fits.

Let's roll out.

You ready?

As you know, the ET vault is unmatched.

Take a look right here.

Oh, my God.

So I'm just having fun right now.

This has been a good time.

Let's hear Chicago accent.

Look at that.

I had no problems, you know.

I have no star.

I still wondered about how it happened.

Oh, my goodness.

So ordinary kid from Chicago got really lucky.

I wish you a reaction to seeing that guy there.

It's just hard to imagine if I had known then

the journey that I would be going on.

This is a really tough business.

And I've been able to raise five kids

and do what we've done in life.

I've been very blessed in that respect.

And boy, I mean, that's a great clip, huh?

Coming up for the first time, Nick Cannon and his kids.

This is your entertainment tonight, Dave.

You ready for thrills?

Yeah.

Meet the tiny scene Steelers.

I want really fast.

I want to go again.

Then I'm John Slatter and this is my ET retrospective.

How he almost ended up with John Ham's madman role.

Here's the thing.

We want you to play this guy.

Welcome back to Entertainment Tonight.

Coming to you from Allegoland, California,

with the one and only Nick Cannon and his three kiddos.

Yeah, it's an ET exclusive.

Lego Magic.

I am five years old and my name is Powell.

And this one is old and I'm old.

You're three and what's your name?

I'm three and I name each week.

My name is Golden and I'm nine years old.

This is a VIP experience.

We are VIP.

You are VIP.

Yes, you are.

And now this is your entertainment tonight, Dave.

You.

Yes.

This is awesome.

That's right.

It's an ET first, only with Nick Cannon and a quarter

of the dozen kids he's fathered.

The three with Brittany Bell to ride the brand new Galactic

coaster.

Now open at Lego Land.

How was it?

Did you want to go again?

I had to like one.

OK.

Nick, for you to be able to share these memories,

how special is it?

I mean, I would say I have a bunch of kids and they're all

around the same age so for them to be able to play together.

That's what my ultimate goal is.

You know, this microphone looks good in front of you guys.

Do you think you'd want a job as a reporter for entertainment tonight, ET?

Yeah, yeah.

What about you?

Yeah, yeah.

What about you?

You want to be a reporter?

Yeah, yeah.

You guys want to be on TV or make music like your dad?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What about you, Roz?

What do you want to do?

No!

No!

Nick, when you hear the kids say things like possibly following

in your footsteps, you know, it's got to hit those hard strings hard.

Oh, absolutely.

Clearly they have like energy in their vibrant,

big personalities.

Hey, get back over here.

What do you teach them about fame?

It's a lot easier with my children than it was for me

because they were born with a camera in their face.

Other than just being a good parent and the super vision of

making sure that they're doing the right thing,

like not running off.

I love it.

You guys are the best.

Okay, go have fun.

Thank you so much.

You got your hands full, Nick.

I wonder if nighttime is like the Waltons in their house.

Night, John Boy.

Night, Pa.

Good night, Nick.

Let's move on now to the star who's Hollywood resume.

We can make folks mad with envy.

I'm John Slattery and this is my ET retrospective.

God help me.

Hello.

Can I bump a smoke?

Oh, that was Sex in the City in the year 2000, yes.

The show was so popular that I still get asked about that.

They don't think it's such a good idea for me to be gating at sex bonus.

That was John's big break,

playing a polished New York politician who briefly dated

Carrie Bradshaw with an infamously not-safe for work sexual kink.

You like people that...

Yeah, but nobody knows about that.

Sarah and I were friends before that and I read for it and met Michael Patrick King.

We were shooting a scene and he said,

and then you get out of the bed and walk across the room,

naked, and I was like, well, I really don't want to do that.

And he said, okay, that's fine.

By 2008, he earned the first of four consecutive immunoms for Mad Men

as Slick Adexec Roger Sterling.

You're not good at relationships because you don't value them.

I value my relationship with you.

You do now.

I mean, the writing on that show was just fantastic.

Look at this.

John actually originally read for John Ham's role.

We did it a couple times and then they said,

here's the thing, we have this guy.

We want you to play this guy.

As the show went on, it got into like a 60s and he...

Everybody was told to grow whatever facial hair you could grow.

So I had a beard and I came in and they were like,

no beard, but like, keep the mustache.

John's latest role?

Almost as high as I was.

The Netflix limited series, Vladimir.

Rachel Vice plays a college professor who is married to myself.

I am also a professor who ran the English department

at a liberal arts college until me too happened

into which Leo Woodall as Vladimir Vlodinsky walks in.

How do you call him for me?

Hope you like the poem.

All eight episodes of the Darkly Comedic Drama are streaming now.

Sort of like what's fair game and what isn't

and what are you willing to blow up in your life?

Still ahead, Ryan Gosling is back on SNL this weekend.

But there is just one problem.

I'm sure someone's made this mistake before.

Never once.

Rest easier with tonight.
