The Twilight Saga is returning to theaters this October through a Fathom Entertainment presentation. All five films—Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2—will be screened, starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as Edward and Bella. The re-release coincides with the 20th anniversary of Stephenie Meyer’s original Twilight novel. Tickets are now available.

YouTube TV subscribers can still watch Fox programming—for now. Google announced a last-minute short-term extension with Fox Corp. on Wednesday, avoiding a blackout that was set to begin Wednesday evening. The temporary deal means subscribers won’t miss this weekend’s major college football matchups, including No. 1 Texas vs. No. 3 Ohio State, along with games airing on Fox, FS1, FS2, and the Big Ten Network. NFL, MLB, and other Fox programming remain safe as negotiations continue. Google says Fox is demanding higher payments than comparable networks, while Fox argues it has offered a fair deal and accuses Google of using its market power to push unfavorable terms. If talks break down, YouTube TV has promised subscribers a $10 credit for lost access.

AARP’s Movies for Grownups just dropped its “Hottest Actors Over 50” list, celebrating stars whose magnetism and staying power prove that age is just a number (and often a better-looking one). Idris Elba, 52, tops the ranking with a special digital cover, while Pedro Pascal, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, Daniel Craig, and Pierce Brosnan (at 72, the oldest honoree) round out the marquee names. The 25 actors collectively boast over 200 major award nominations and 35 wins. AARP says the list isn’t just about looks—it’s about reinvention, vitality, and breaking stereotypes about aging. Notably absent? Ben Affleck, who didn’t make the cut despite his high-profile career.

Prime Video and Warner Bros. Television are teaming up for a limited series about the Karen Read trial, with Elizabeth Banks starring as Read and also executive producing through her Brownstone banner. The show will be based on Karen, the Wondery/Law & Crime podcast that chronicled the polarizing case of a Boston police officer found dead in the snow and the murder charges brought against his girlfriend, Read. The series will examine America’s fascination with true crime, conspiracy theories, and institutional distrust. The Karen Read trial became a media frenzy, spawning talk show segments, news specials, and even a Netflix documentary before the verdict was reached.

Peacock just hit subscribers with a major price hike—and fans of Love Island, The Traitors, Sunday Night Football, and Premier League soccer aren’t happy. The streamer’s ad-supported plan jumped nearly 40% to $10.99 a month, while Premium Plus now costs $16.99. A new “Select” tier keeps the $7.99 price but locks out next-day NBC and Bravo hits like SNL and Housewives. With 41 million subscribers, Peacock joins Netflix and Apple TV+ in raising prices, and experts say Disney, HBO Max, and Paramount+ may soon follow. Reddit users summed up the frustration: “I don’t understand why we left cable,” and, “See ya! Back to watching NBC for free.”

John Malkovich is joining Vince Vaughn in Season 2 of Apple TV+’s Bad Monkey. He’ll play Spencer, the boss of a South Florida crime syndicate. Unlike the first season, which pulled from Carl Hiaasen’s Bad Monkey novel, Season 2 won’t adapt Razor Girl just yet. Instead, it’ll tell an original story that keeps key characters like Natalie Martinez’s Rosa in the spotlight.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are officially engaged. The two shared the news on Instagram yesterday, with photos from a romantic, flower-filled garden proposal. Swift captioned the post, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” Kelce designed her ring himself, featuring a vintage “Old Mine brilliant cut” diamond.

King of the Hill is returning to Hulu with a second batch of 10 new episodes, part of the 20-episode order quietly announced when the revival was first revealed in 2023. The new episodes are expected to air next year. The revival continues the story of Texas suburbanites Hank and Peggy Hill, now with their teen son Bobby grown up. Original voice actors—including Mike Judge (Hank), Kathy Najimy (Peggy), Pamela Adlon (Bobby), and Stephen Root (Bill)—have returned. After the passing of Johnny Hardwick, Toby Huss now voices Hank’s friend Dale.

To mark Gilmore Girls’ 25th anniversary this October, a new documentary titled Searching For Stars Hollow is in development. The film will explore the show’s cultural impact and include never-before-seen interviews with cast and crew, including Kelly Bishop, Jared Padalecki, Chad Michael Murray, Keiko Agena, Sally Struthers, and more. The doc aims to showcase behind-the-scenes stories, commentary, and the lasting legacy of the series, which ran from 2000–2007 and followed mother-daughter duo Lorelai and Rory Gilmore in the fictional town of Stars Hollow. No release date has been announced yet, but a pre-launch Kickstarter page is available for fans.

Sting is being sued by guitarist Andy Summers and drummer Stewart Copeland, who claim they’re owed millions in lost royalties. Lawyers reportedly tried to settle out of court but hit a wall, prompting Summers and Copeland to file a case against Sting and his company, Magnetic Publishing Limited, in London’s High Court. The Police disbanded in 1984 after a blistering run of hits, with Sting credited as the sole songwriter on classics like Roxanne, Message in a Bottle, and Every Breath You Take. That last one alone still earns him an estimated $744,000 a year. A spokesman for Sting insists the lawsuit isn’t about Every Breath You Take—but didn’t offer further details.

Netflix has secured an untitled drama starring and executive produced by Matthew McConaughey and Cole Hauser, developed by True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto and Skydance Sports (now part of Paramount). While details are limited, it’s reportedly set in the world of football and originally focused on two brothers, played by McConaughey and Hauser—who have been friends since Dazed and Confused (1993) and have discussed this project for years. Hauser, known for Rip Wheeler on Yellowstone, will reprise his role in the upcoming spinoff The Dutton Ranch alongside Kelly Reilly and Annette Bening.

Less than two weeks before the 2025 NFL season, Fox and YouTube TV are in a carriage dispute that could result in a network blackout on the Google-owned streaming service as early as tomorrow at 5 PM ET. Fox expressed frustration, accusing Google of leveraging its influence to push “terms that are out of step with the marketplace,” and warned viewers they could lose access to Fox’s news, sports, entertainment, and local programming if negotiations fail. YouTube TV said it is negotiating to continue carrying Fox channels and would offer subscribers a $10 credit if Fox content becomes unavailable for an extended period. Channels at risk include Fox, Fox Sports, Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Nation, and certain add-ons.

Britney Spears shared a nude Instagram photo on Saturday, posing with her back to the camera and covering herself with a rose emoji while wearing only knee-high boots. She turned off comments, though the post racked up over 200,000 likes in 14 hours. The singer has recently posted multiple photos and videos, sparking fan concern about her well-being. A recent clip showed her dancing and singing Rihanna’s Unfaithful in a British accent inside a cluttered room, with dogs running around and what looked like dog feces on the floor. While Spears described it as “messing around with lighting and cleaning,” fans on social media debated whether the posts were a sign of trouble.

Gary Oldman was immortalized with a hand- and footprint ceremony at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre on Friday. The actor, currently starring in Apple TV+’s Slow Horses, was joined by his wife Gisele, his sons Gulliver and Charlie, and actors Jacob Elordi and Kaley Cuoco. Oldman’s career spans iconic roles in JFK, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, True Romance, Air Force One, the Harry Potter and Dark Knight franchises, and he won the Best Actor Oscar for Darkest Hour in 2017. He thanked family, friends, Apple TV+, and the theatre for the special honor on Instagram.

Millie Bobby Brown just leveled up from Stranger Things star to mom! The 21-year-old actress and her husband Jake Bongiovi announced they’ve welcomed their first child — a baby girl adopted this summer. Brown shared the news on Instagram: “We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy. And then there were 3.” Brown and Bongiovi, who first connected on Instagram in 2021, secretly married in May 2024 before celebrating with family and friends in Italy that fall. Both have said they want a big family — they each come from families of four kids — and Brown has long been open about her dream of motherhood. For her, adoption is just as meaningful as having biological children: “I don’t see having your own child as really any different as in adopting.”

Glen Powell is making it clear: he won’t be the next James Bond. While promoting his new sports comedy series Chad Powers, the actor told The Hollywood Reporter that being a Texan automatically disqualifies him. “I can play Jimmy Bond, but I should not be playing James Bond. Get an authentic Brit for that job,” he joked.

Josh Brolin may be riding high with his new horror hit Weapons, but he hasn’t forgotten one of his biggest flops: Jonah Hex. In a recent interview, the actor admitted the 2010 DC film was a disaster despite a stacked cast that included Megan Fox, Michael Fassbender, John Malkovich, and Michael Shannon. Brolin said the director’s cut was “pretty good,” but blamed the studio for butchering it in post-production, making it “the least accessible movie” possible. He also confessed that promoting a film that “sucks” is miserable. This isn’t his first time bashing the project—last year, he called hiring director Jimmy Hayward a “bad choice,” though the two later reconciled after Hayward apologized.

Shaquille O’Neal, 53, is stepping into the boxing ring after accepting a celebrity fight challenge from Charles “Charlie Mack” Alston, a former Will Smith bodyguard and hip-hop insider. The beef goes back years, when Mack claims he “chopped Shaq in the neck” for cutting an autograph line in Dallas. Mack reignited the feud on Instagram, and Shaq quickly accepted, declaring, “Diesel don’t run from nobody… You chopped me in my neck, Charlie Mack, that’s why I talk so funny. Payback time.” Mack, who’s about 6’6” and 290 pounds, dubbed O’Neal “Sha-knocked out” in the fight hype. O’Neal, who played at 7’1” and 325 pounds, looks set for a super heavyweight showdown under Official Celebrity Boxing, the same promotion behind past wild-card fights involving Jose Canseco, Lamar Odom, and Tonya Harding.

US celebrity judge and social media star Frank Caprio has died aged 88, his family has said.

Over a 40-year career in Rhode Island, he famously used compassion and humour to make judgements that took into consideration the personal circumstances of the people in the dock.

Videos of Judge Caprio presiding over cases on his hit TV show Caught in Providence have had billions of views on social media, earning him the title the "nicest judge in the world".

His death following a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer was announced on his official Instagram account, where he was remembered for his "warmth" and "unwavering belief in the goodness of people".

Judge Caprio had presided over thousands of cases in his hometown of Providence, Rhode Island, before embarking on a TV career.

His signature courtroom style produced viral clips ranging from him inviting children to sit with him behind the bench during cases, to announcing a "mini-judge" plushie of himself.

A TikTok video showcasing his morning routine - brushing his teeth, signing his book and watching videos of his own show - has had more than 5m views.

In an 2019 interview, Judge Caprio said his courtroom proceedings "show a slice of life of Rhode Island that is very interesting, and it reflects the same issues people are experiencing nationwide".

David Caprio, his son, thanked fans for their love and support and urged people to "spread a little kindness" in his father's memory.

In an Instagram statement to his 3.4 million followers, Judge Caprio was remembered for the "countless acts of kindness he inspired".

"His warmth, humour, and kindness left an indelible mark on all who knew him," the statement said.

During its run, Caught in Providence was nominated for three Daytime Emmys, with Judge Caprio earning two of his own nominations last year.

The company behind it, Debmar-Mercury, paid tribute to Judge Caprio's "unique brand of compassion and common sense approach".

"We will miss him dearly," co-presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said in a statement.

After being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2023, Judge Caprio said he was "fully prepared to fight as hard I can" and thanked followers for their support.

In one of his last social media posts, Judge Caprio announced he was back in hospital after suffering a "setback" in his treatment and asked his followers for their prayers.

Judge Caprio is survived by his wife, Joyce Caprio, of almost 60 years, their five children, seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

CBS is staring down a PR disaster after Survivor star Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick went on an Instagram tirade that included anti-Semitic remarks aimed at fellow contestant Eliza Orlins. Kendrick, 46, who just wrapped filming on the franchise’s 50th season in Fiji, lashed out after Orlins published a dossier criticizing her conservative politics. In the rant, Kendrick cursed Orlins, referenced her Jewish identity in offensive terms, and denied being anti-gay or bigoted. The video quickly spread through Survivor fan circles, leaving CBS and production insiders panicked about fallout for the milestone season. Orlins, 42, wasn’t surprised, accusing Kendrick of bigotry and saying CBS should reconsider her role. Kendrick later apologized, blaming wine and poor wording, and insisted she “fully supports the Jewish community” while condemning antisemitism. Kendrick is a longtime Survivor figure — first competing in 2005’s Palau and later inspiring Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games heroine — but she’s never won the game. Orlins, meanwhile, has two Survivor seasons, The Amazing Race, and a Manhattan DA run under her belt. CBS has yet to comment on whether Kendrick’s meltdown will affect Survivor 50 when it airs next spring.

Jimmy Kimmel revealed to Variety on Monday that he genuinely feared being charged with murder when Matt Damon choked on a pork rib at Kimmel’s $7.8 million Los Angeles home. Kimmel recalled that Damon ate too quickly, causing a rib to lodge in his throat for about an hour and a half. After failed Heimlich attempts, the group fed Damon small pieces of bread to help the rib pass, which ultimately saved him. The incident ties into their long-running, satirical feud that began in 2005 with Kimmel joking about running out of time to book Damon. Over the years, Damon and Kimmel have staged pranks and playful trash talk, from parody songs to pretend hostage situations.

Kevin Costner is fighting to shut down a lawsuit from stuntwoman Devyn LaBella, who accuses him of forcing her into an unscripted rape scene while filming Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2. LaBella first filed in May, claiming she was blindsided on set in May 2023 when another actor was brought in to simulate an assault. She says her undergarments were exposed, she was left shaken, and that her objections were ignored. Her amended complaint includes texts with the intimacy coordinator and detailed emotional fallout. Costner flatly denies it. In new court filings, his team says the scene was scripted, fully blocked, and non-sexual—limited to an actor lifting the hem of LaBella’s dress while she remained clothed in bike shorts and petticoats. He insists there was no nudity, contact, or simulated sex. Costner also produced declarations from cast and crew backing him up and pointed to a post-shoot text from LaBella thanking her supervisors and saying she was “really happy it worked out.” LaBella’s lawyers counter that she objected immediately, has corroborating evidence, and is now facing a smear campaign meant to silence her. They frame the case as part of a wider pattern of Hollywood protecting powerful men at the expense of workplace safety.

HBO just added more magic to its Harry Potter series by announcing the casting of the Weasley siblings. Tristan Harland and Gabriel Harland will play prankster twins Fred and George, Ruari Spooner steps in as straight-laced Percy, and Gracie Cochrane takes on Ginny. They’ll join Alastair Stout’s Ron, already confirmed as part of the new Golden Trio alongside Dominic McLaughlin (Harry) and Arabella Stanton (Hermione). The adult lineup is stacked too: John Lithgow as Dumbledore, Janet McTeer as McGonagall, Paapa Essiedu as Snape, and Nick Frost as Hagrid. Production kicked off in July 2025, with HBO promising a “faithful adaptation” of Rowling’s books. Fans will have to wait until 2027 for the premiere.

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are currently not speaking, with their once-close friendship strained after Swift’s name became entangled in Lively’s legal battle with It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni. Baldoni’s legal team previously alleged Swift pressured him to accept Lively’s script rewrites, though that complaint was later dismissed. A subpoena issued to Swift was later dropped, with her rep calling it a clickbait tactic. Swift, hurt by being pulled into the case, has since distanced herself from Lively. The tension resurfaced as Swift announced her upcoming album The Life of a Showgirl (out Oct. 3), featuring a track titled “Ruin the Friendship” — which fans suspect is about Lively. The two had been close since 2014, with Swift serving as godmother to Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ children, who have even been referenced in Swift’s music. While sources say they’ve tried to get “on good terms,” their friendship hasn’t returned to what it once was.

Helen Mirren has weighed in on the female James Bond debate, saying 007 should remain male: “James Bond has to be a guy. Otherwise it becomes something else.” She noted her upcoming role in Thursday Murder Club reflects real-life female spies—more realistic than Bond, but less glamorous. Mirren has consistently argued that instead of gender-swapping Bond, Hollywood should focus on stories about extraordinary women in espionage. The next Bond casting remains uncertain, especially with Amazon now overseeing the franchise.

Netflix’s new drama, House of Guinness, premieres September 25. Created by Peaky Blinders mastermind Steven Knight (who’s also writing the next James Bond film), the series dives into the powerful Guinness family dynasty that built Ireland’s iconic stout empire. Set in 19th-century Dublin and New York, the story picks up after the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness, following his children—Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn), and Ben (Fionn O’Shea)—along with the workers and allies who helped shape the brewery’s legacy. The cast also features James Norton, Jack Gleeson, Dervla Kirwan, Danielle Galligan, Michael McElhatton, David Wilmot, and more.

Ryan Reynolds sparked fan speculation today after posting a graffiti-style Deadpool Avengers logo on Instagram, leading many to believe he’ll appear in the Russo Brothers’ upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. But sources confirm Reynolds has not been on set in London and is not scheduled for the next two Avengers films. The actor was reportedly just having fun—he reposted a fan-made image after spotting it online. The Deadpool-tagged Avengers logo was previously seen in Deadpool & Wolverine, but this new version in red isn’t tied to Doomsday.

Actor Terence Stamp has died at 87. His family confirmed he passed away yesterday. Stamp’s breakout came in 1962 with Billy Budd, earning him an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe. Known for playing commanding villains, he cemented his place in pop culture as General Zod in Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980). His film credits stretched from Wall Street and The Haunted Mansion to The Adjustment Bureau and Last Night in Soho. He wasn’t just the bad guy—Stamp won acclaim for his versatility, most notably as Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994), a role that earned him Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations. He also appeared on the Jim Carrey movie “Yes Man.”

The Eminem-produced documentary Stans will hit Paramount+ on Aug. 26 in North America after a limited theatrical run, with international rollouts through October. Premiered at SXSW London, the film examines Eminem’s career through the eyes of his superfans, inspired by his 2000 hit “Stan” — a term now in the Oxford English Dictionary for obsessive fans. Director Steven Leckart said the project blends fan stories with Eminem’s own candid, sincere, and often funny perspective.

Ana Navarro, co-host of The View and CNN contributor, is urging singer Gloria Gaynor to refuse President Trump’s upcoming Kennedy Center Honor. Navarro praised Gaynor as a “goddess” but said she shouldn’t accept an award from someone she claims has attacked women, people of color, and the LGBTQ community — noting that the gay community helped make “I Will Survive” an anthem. Gaynor is among five honorees Trump named for the December ceremony, alongside George Strait, Michael Crawford, KISS, and Sylvester Stallone. Trump said he was “98% involved” in the selections and rejected candidates he considered “too woke.” Gaynor hasn’t commented publicly but did share the White House announcement on her Instagram Story.

Paramount+ has announced that Season 4 of Mayor of Kingstown, starring Jeremy Renner and Edie Falco, will premiere on Sunday, October 26. The new season sees Mike’s control over Kingstown challenged as new players emerge, triggering a gang war and forcing him to confront both threats and his own past.

Paramount+ announced that Landman season 2 premieres Nov. 16, with Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, and Ali Larter returning. New cast members include Sam Elliott in a mystery role and Stefania Spampinato as Garcia’s wife. Season 1 wrapped Jan. 12 with cartel boss Gallino (Garcia) sparing Tommy Norris (Thornton) and Monty Miller (Jon Hamm) dying of a heart attack. Despite Emmy snubs, the show’s premiere pulled 35 million global viewers and set Paramount+ records.

UFC president Dana White says a July 4 fight on the White House lawn is officially in the works, with Donald Trump requesting Ivanka Trump’s involvement in planning. White will meet with them later this month to finalize details, though fighters haven’t been named. The news comes as UFC signs a $1.1 billion-a-year streaming deal with Paramount, making most fights free for Paramount+ subscribers while still offering select pay-per-view events.

Zoë Kravitz told Seth Meyers about the time she and her mom, Lisa Bonet, nearly wrecked Taylor Swift’s historic home while staying there during the L.A. wildfire evacuations. Bonet’s pet snake, Orpheus, slithered into a hidden hole beside a built-in banquette, forcing a panicked rescue mission that involved a crowbar, ripped-up tile, and destroyed cabinets. Kravitz said she’d rather demolish the bathroom than leave a loose snake in Taylor’s house — Swift later joked she already knew about the reptile chaos. Meyers quipped Orpheus might inspire a few tracks on Swift’s next album.

Warner Bros. Discovery announced Superman will hit digital video-on-demand this Friday and arrive on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on Sept. 23. The film, starring David Corenswet as Superman and still in theaters at No. 6 as of Aug. 8-10, was praised by UPI for director James Gunn’s bold, comic-inspired approach. The cast includes Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, plus DC characters like Mr. Terrific, Hawkgirl, and Guy Gardner. Digital copies come with Gunn’s audio commentary, deleted scenes, and a gag reel, while physical editions add a 60-minute behind-the-scenes feature and several shorter featurettes.

Kevin Hart is teaming with Netflix for an eight-episode, uncensored stand-up competition series debuting next year. Contestants nationwide will face real-world comedy challenges — from open mics to bombed sets — guided by Hart and other top comedians. The show aims to spotlight the next generation of comics, continuing Hart’s mission to champion emerging talent. Applications are open now.

On Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, Drew Barrymore praised Maher for fearlessly speaking his mind, saying he did it “before it was so dangerous” and still does now — something she feels is too risky for her own career. Maher argued it’s actually less dangerous now, claiming left-wing censorship has waned since Democrats’ 2024 losses, but admitted he still fears a private remark could be used to ruin him. Barrymore’s comments drew criticism from some, including Megyn Kelly, who accused her of suddenly shifting away from the “woke” politics she’d long embraced, citing past moments like kneeling before transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney on her show and warmly campaigning with Vice President Kamala Harris. While Barrymore defended The View from Maher’s criticism, her appearance marked a more open discussion on free speech and cancel culture than she’s been known for in recent years.

Taylor Swift announced her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, in a teaser for her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s podcast, New Heights. No release date yet. She’ll appear on the podcast tomorrow.

David Justice says his marriage to Halle Berry fell apart because she wasn’t “motherly” and didn’t fit his then-traditional expectations of cooking, cleaning, and family life. Speaking on the All the Smoke podcast, the former MLB star admitted his lack of relationship wisdom and their long periods apart due to busy careers also strained the marriage. He believes therapy might have saved it. Justice and Berry wed in 1993 and divorced in 1997; Berry later married and divorced Eric Benét and Olivier Martinez.

Jennifer Aniston opened up in a new Vanity Fair profile about the intense media frenzy during her so-called “love triangle” years with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. She called it a “vulnerable time” and admitted the constant tabloid coverage left her with a kind of PTSD, making her wary of interviews for fear of being misquoted. Married to Pitt from 2000–2005, Aniston said the scrutiny over her relationships, childbearing choices, and personal life was hurtful and invasive, noting, “We’re human beings… we didn’t sign up for that.” She reflected on advice she gave herself then—“pick yourself up and keep walking”—and said she didn’t have the constitution to remain unaffected at the time. Aniston’s later relationships included John Mayer, Vince Vaughn, and Justin Theroux, whom she divorced amicably in 2018. She’s maintained friendships with people like Gwyneth Paltrow (another Pitt ex) and Jason Bateman, whom she’s “co-mom” to his daughters. Also in the interview, Jen said the raw emotion in the movie "The Break Up" was fueled from her break-up with Pitt six months earlier.

Tom Hanks paid tribute to astronaut James “Jim” Lovell, who died Aug. 7 at age 97. Lovell, a former Navy test pilot, commanded the ill-fated but ultimately safe 1970 Apollo 13 mission — the same mission Hanks portrayed in the 1995 Ron Howard film Apollo 13. In an Instagram post, Hanks praised Lovell as a man who dared, dreamed, and led others into places most wouldn’t go. He highlighted that Lovell’s space voyages, including coming close to the moon, weren’t for fame or fortune but for the challenge itself. Hanks closed his tribute by noting Lovell’s passing on a night with a full moon, saying, “God speed you, on this next voyage.” Lovell famously described Apollo 13 as a “successful failure” for turning near-catastrophe into a safe return. The tribute comes ahead of the 30th anniversary IMAX re-release of Apollo 13 on Sept. 19, which was adapted from Lovell’s own book Lost Moon. The cause of death was not immediately clear. Lovell was already well-known among NASA astronauts — having flown to space on the Gemini 7, Gemini 12 and Apollo 8 missions — before he was selected to command Apollo 13, which would have marked NASA’s third successful crewed moon landing.

Jimmy Kimmel says he’s secured Italian citizenship as a backup plan to “escape” President Trump’s administration, claiming things are “worse than you thought” after Trump recently predicted Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon would be “next” to be canceled. Speaking on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, Kimmel criticized both the “loud” left for driving cancel culture and the online attacks on Trump supporters who regret their votes, arguing people should be welcomed if they change their minds. The exchange came as late-night TV faces upheaval — Stephen Colbert’s show is ending next year after poor ratings and a $16 million CBS settlement with Trump over a 60 Minutes segment. Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld even praised Fallon for avoiding the liberal echo chamber, while the industry braces for more political and financial pressure.

Weapons is the No. 1 movie in North America, earning $42.5 million over the weekend.

South Park has once again set its satirical sights on President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in its Aug. 6 episode "Got A Nut." The storyline follows school counselor Mr. Mackey joining ICE, which the show lampoons as hiring anyone without qualifications. In a dark running gag, Noem is shown repeatedly shooting dogs — a jab at her real-life 2024 admission to killing a family dog. ICE raids escalate from a Dora the Explorer live show to even raiding heaven, with Noem making racist directives. Mackey later visits Mar-a-Lago, where Trump offers him the role of “new face of Homeland Security” because Noem’s face “freaks me out.” Inside Trump’s bedroom, Mackey finds Satan reading in bed, prompting a hasty exit. VP JD Vance is portrayed as Trump’s Fantasy Island-style sidekick, eventually kicked so hard by Trump that he flies off-screen. Vance later joked on X, “Well, I’ve finally made it.” The episode ends with Noem on a pet-store shooting spree.

James Cameron is once again warning that the Terminator apocalypse he imagined decades ago may not be so fictional after all. In a new Rolling Stone interview, the director expressed deep concern over the weaponization of artificial intelligence, especially when paired with nuclear systems — a combo he says could spiral beyond human control and lead to catastrophic consequences. Cameron, who sits on the board of Stability AI, admits AI has legitimate uses in filmmaking, like improving visual effects and managing costs. But he draws a hard line when it comes to military applications, warning that combining AI with weapons systems could outpace human oversight and lead to fatal errors — just as past near-misses in nuclear history have proven. He also called out the broader trifecta of threats facing humanity: climate change, nuclear proliferation, and superintelligent AI, suggesting we're at a pivotal crossroads. Though he floated the idea that superintelligence might help solve global crises, he’s clearly skeptical — especially when it comes to AI replacing human creativity. “I utterly reject the premise that AI can take the place of actors and filmmakers,” Cameron declared.

If you’ve been sharing account access to HBO Max, the good times are soon coming to an end. Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that its days of turning a blind eye to password sharing are numbered. During the company’s Q2 earnings call, streaming and gaming chief JB Perrette said the crackdown will get "more aggressive" by the end of 2025, with noticeable financial impact expected in 2026. Just like Netflix and Disney, WBD is working to close loopholes and identify which users are legit — and which are just mooching. So far, the warnings have been soft and easy to ignore. But Perrette made it clear: that tone is about to shift toward “fixed” directives that will require action. Right now, the process is still in early stages, but by Q4 2025, expect stricter enforcement, tougher messaging, and fewer free rides.

Disney is officially pulling the plug on the standalone Hulu app by 2026, merging it fully into Disney+ following its $9 billion buyout of Comcast’s remaining Hulu stake. While users can still subscribe to Disney+ and Hulu separately, both will live under one app to simplify streaming. CEO Bob Iger and other execs say the goal is to reduce subscriber drop-off, make navigation easier, and streamline operations using a single tech stack—plus rake in better ad revenue and boost cross-promotion between platforms. Internationally, Hulu will replace the "Star" brand on Disney+ starting this fall, finally expanding the Hulu name globally (something Disney's been trying to do since 2007). Hulu Live TV, however, will spin off into a joint venture with Fubo, staying separate from the main app.

Police have shut down conspiracy theories from Hulk Hogan’s daughter, Brooke, about the wrestling icon’s death. Hogan died July 24 from cardiac arrest, with a Florida medical examiner citing his leukemia and atrial fibrillation as contributing factors. Despite the official ruling of a natural death, Brooke questioned the circumstances, sharing a post from radio host Bubba the Love Sponge that suggested foul play, a suspiciously quick cremation, and the absence of an autopsy. Bubba speculated — without evidence — that someone could have injected Hogan through his dialysis port, pointed to his wife Sky Daily’s alleged ties to Scientology, and noted Hogan’s estimated $40–$50 million estate. He also questioned why dialysis plans were not public and why Narcan was administered, despite no indication of an overdose. Clearwater police reiterated there were “no signs of foul play or suspicious activity,” and the Pinellas County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed no autopsy was performed because the death wasn’t deemed suspicious.

Netflix is developing a T.J. Hooker movie, turning the iconic 1980s police drama into a feature-length action comedy. Written by Jarrad Paul and Andy Mogel (The Grinder), the reboot reimagines the series that originally starred William Shatner as tough LAPD sergeant Thomas Jefferson “T.J.” Hooker, determined to take down criminals after his partner’s murder. The original show ran from 1982 to 1986 — first on ABC, then finishing its fifth and final season on CBS — with co-stars Adrian Zmed, Heather Locklear, James Darren, and others. A total of 91 episodes were produced and are currently available on Tubi. No word yet on whether Shatner will appear in the Netflix film.

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76 from “out of hospital cardiac arrest” and “acute myocardial infarction,” with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction listed as contributing causes, according to his death certificate filed by daughter Aimee. Paramedics, including a Thames Valley Air Ambulance team, spent two hours providing critical care at his home near Chalfont St Giles before he passed away surrounded by family. His funeral procession took place July 30 in Birmingham, England.

Fox Corp. announced its new subscription streaming service, Fox One, will launch August 21 for $19.99 per month. CEO Lachlan Murdoch shared the news during the company’s fiscal Q4 earnings call, where better-than-expected results were reported due to strong ad revenue. The price is at the low end of industry predictions, and the service will target cord-cutters and cord-nevers, while also being free for current pay-TV subscribers. Fox One will feature a mix of news, sports, and entertainment, though no original programming has been confirmed.

George Clooney brushed off criticism that he only plays versions of himself, telling Vanity Fair he “doesn’t give a sh–” about those claims. The actor argued that few actors his age get to work in both broad comedies like O Brother, Where Art Thou? and serious dramas like Michael Clayton or Syriana, and if that means he’s “playing himself,” so be it. Quoting his role in Jay Kelly—where he plays a 60-something movie star—Clooney joked that “playing yourself” is harder than it looks. He credited his grounded perspective to not finding major fame until age 33 with ER, after 12 years of struggling, which taught him how fleeting success is. Jay Kelly premieres at the Venice Film Festival later this month, hits theaters November 14, and streams on Netflix December 5.

In the West, USDA specialists are using an unusual tactic to deter wolves from attacking cattle — blasting a heated argument scene from the 2019 film Marriage Story with Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver. The goal, says Oregon specialist Paul Wolf, is to make wolves associate humans with “bad” experiences. Other deterrents include fireworks and AC/DC’s Thunderstruck. The strategy comes amid rising wolf attacks following their reintroduction to Yellowstone National Park.

Denzel Washington reunites with director Spike Lee for their fifth film together, Highest 2 Lowest, a crime thriller inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low. Washington plays a powerful music mogul whose son is kidnapped in a ransom plot, forcing him into high-stakes negotiations. The cast also includes Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and A$AP Rocky. The film hits theaters August 15 and begins streaming on Apple TV+ September 5.

 

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Wars in 2027, Star Wars: A New Hope will return to theaters for a limited time. The original 1977 film, starring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher, will screen on April 30 and May 4 (Star Wars Day) as part of the milestone celebration. Disney and Lucasfilm called it a “once-in-a-generation event”, with more details promised soon on the official website.

Peter Ostrum was just 14 when he starred as Charlie Bucket in the 1971 classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory alongside Gene Wilder. Though his paycheck at the time was “paltry,” he still earns small royalties today—around $8 to $9 every three months from TV broadcasts. The film initially had lukewarm reviews and a quiet release, earning only about $4 million, but gained cult status in the 1980s thanks to repeated TV airings. Instead of pursuing a film career—turning down a three-movie deal—Peter chose a completely different path, becoming a veterinarian. He used his earnings from the movie to buy a horse and went on to earn a veterinary doctorate from Cornell. Peter credits a childhood experience watching a vet at work as the inspiration to follow that career.

Pedro Pascal's Fantastic Four: First Steps is the No. 1 movie in North America again, earning $40 million over the weekend.

3. The Naked Gun - $17 million
4. Superman - $13.9 million
5. Jurassic World: Rebirth - $8.7 million
6. Together - $6.8 million
7. F1 - $4.1 million
