That's Entertainment is an Emirati weekly celebrity gossip television program broadcast on Dubai One in the GCC, MENA (including the Levant), Sub-Saharan Africa and parts of western Europe and North America. The program was launched on Dubai One in September 2011. It broadcasts every weekend on both Friday and Saturday.

That's Entertainment shows interviews Hollywood, Bollywood and Arab media stars, as well as going behind the scenes of locally filmed productions such as Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and travelling to cover international events including The Oscars. Season One was hosted by Marwan DJ Bliss with Out & About's Punam Verma reporting for the program. In season two, Dina Butti took over reporting responsibilities part-time, eventually becoming a full-time co-presenter and writer in January 2013, while Marwan remained the main host.

Content

That's Entertainment regularly acquires content from the United States, including coverage of Hollywood movie premieres taking place around the world, interviews with the stars on the red carpet, behind the scenes footage of various shoots and in depth coverage of all the major awards ceremonies. The program often opens with a new music video and closes with a new movie premiere.

Although interviews have been conducted with A-list actors such as Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, John Travolta and Gerard Butler and TV stars like Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez and Paris Hilton, the program primarily focuses on musical artists who are in the UAE to perform a concert. That's Entertainment has featured exclusive interviews with bands including Metallica, Jennifer Lopez, The Jacksons, Guns N' Roses, Daughtry, Incubus, The Script and Il Divo. Rappers and R n B Stars have consisted of Usher, 50 Cent, Neyo, Nicki Minaj and Jason Derulo. Other solo artists interviewed are Enrique Iglesias, Craig David and Tiesto.

That's Entertainment also places emphasis on Bollywood news, which has a large presence and following in the UAE. Exclusive interviews with mega stars such as Shahrukh Khan, Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Kumar, Kajol, Deepika Padukone, Sanjay Dutt and John Abraham have been featured on the show as well as behind the scenes features of hit Bollywood films, such as Khiladi 786. Eesha Gupta has also made a special appearance in studio.

That's Entertainment is currently working increasing their coverage of artists based in the UAE in an effort to promote local talent. They've already featured local acts including Bull Funk Zoo, Nikotin and Jay Wud.
