Look out, Amazon and Netflix: Yahoo wants to compete with streaming television services and cable TV by creating its own shows. Word is they’re looking at 10-episode series with budgets of up to a few million dollars to air on its new video platform long rumored to be in the works. Yahoo boss Marissa Mayer is expected to unveil the project at a “NewFront” event in New York on April 28, so make sure you’ve finished watching “House of Cards” — because a new binge-watching option could be coming soon.

Lingerie model Chanel Iman is secretly engaged to A$AP Rocky, sources close to the couple tell Page Six. Word is the 23-year-old Victoria’s Secret Angel “happily accepted his proposal” recently, but she hasn’t gone public with an engagement ring or wedding plans yet. She first started dating the 25-year-old rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, in early 2013 after he split from Iggy Azalea. The New York-based hip-hop star’s hits include “Wild for the Night” featuring Skrillex and the BET Award-winning single “F—in’ Problems.”

Jon Favreau writes, directs and stars in “Chef.” The first trailer shows Favreau starting a food truck business after his restaurant job makes him miserable. The film looks more like a “Swingers”-sized indie comedy than an action blockbuster like “Iron Man,” but the cast still includes big names like Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson. “Chef,” which also stars Sofia Vergara, John Leguizamo and Dustin Hoffman, opens May 9.
“The Expendables 3″ star Jason Statham makes a cameo in Calvin Harris’ new music video for “Summer.” The actor and Scottish DJ appear in a drag racing scene in the desert, interspersed with footage of Harris posing like a rock star and women in barely-there outfits. According to the Daily Mail, Statham and Harris have become friends in the past year, spotted partying together in Las Vegas and London. “Summer,” to be released April 27, is a single from Harris’ upcoming album.
