James Corden may be off TV screens after l leaving CBS’ "The Late Late Show" but that doesn't mean he's stopped chatting with celebrities.

The multiple Emmy- and Tony Award-winner who gave the world "Carpool Karaoke" is launching a new weekly show set for early 2024 on SiriusXM called "This Life of Mine with James Corden."

The show will "feature in-depth conversations with the world’s biggest stars, discussing the people, places, moments and memories that made them who they are today," according to producers.

"James has been a trailblazer in the entertainment business," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM’s president and chief content officer in a statement. "We’re so honored to welcome him to the SiriusXM family as he begins this next phase of his illustrious career and makes his mark in audio."

SiriusXM is hosting an event in New York on Wednesday where it will showcase its new SiriusXM streaming app, as well as new programming, live performances and surprise celebrity guests.

In a statement, Corden called his new show "a new chapter," adding "it's a dream to have a space to engage in deep conversations with the people whose work and talent I greatly admire."

He has won 12 Emmy Awards as a host, writer, producer, and actor. He is also a Tony Award winner, multiple BAFTA Award-winner, in addition to a Golden Globe Award nominee.

Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan declared "it's good to be back" as he won best actor at the International Indian Film Academy Awards on Saturday after a long absence from the limelight.

The 58-year-old stole the show as event co-host before walking off with the coveted prize for his role in the action thriller "Jawan", capping a five-hour show in Abu Dhabi.

"I just want to tell you it's good to be back," he told a packed crowd in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, which has a large Indian population.

"I love awards, I'm greedy about awards... I think I have a little happiness from the audience this year because I worked (again) after a long time," he added.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Animal" won best picture among six awards including best supporting actor for Anil Kapoor, another stalwart of the Hindi film industry.

Rani Mukerji was named best actress for the child-custody drama "Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway" and Vidhu Vinod Chopra won best director for "12th Fail".

In a rambling event that finished at 2:30 am, Khan's comedy skits with fellow actor Vicky Kaushal were interspersed with hip-thrusting dance numbers and frequent commercial endorsements.

Shahid Kapoor rode up to the stage on a motorbike and after "King Khan" appeared, to blasts of fireworks and with a huge crown superimposed above his head, there were constant ad-lib tributes to the star.

Before releasing "Jawan" and "Pathaan" last year, Khan had not played any starring roles for five years.

His return comes as Mumbai-based Bollywood, for decades India's dominant film business and a major cultural export, faces challenges including competition from elsewhere in the vast, culturally diverse country.

As non-Hindi productions grow in popularity, Bollywood has also been outshone by independent films such as director Payal Kapadia's "All We Imagine as Light", which won the coveted Grand Prix award at Cannes in May.

Bollywood's cinema-based business model is also grappling with the rise in streaming services such as Netflix, whose Indian content includes eight films and 14 series.

Elara Capital, an Indian investment and advisory firm, estimates that box office takings were down up to 35 percent in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period last year.

However, 2023 was particularly strong as Bollywood bounced back after Covid with a strong slate of films, compared to a much weaker content pipeline this year.

Abu Dhabi was playing host for the third straight edition of the globe-trotting event, which started in 2000 and has only taken place once in India.
