Mayor Calls For Cancellation Of Kanye's July 4th Concert In San Antonio

Kanye West's planned July 4 concert in San Antonio is facing growing backlash. Just a day after tickets went on sale, Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones publicly called for the show to be canceled, saying the city shouldn't host someone with a history of antisemitic remarks and hate speech at the publicly owned Alamodome—especially on Independence Day. The San Antonio controversy is the latest in a string of opposition to West's performances. Recent shows in Prague, Poland, France, and the U.K. have been canceled or blocked, and Australia previously denied him a visa. While West apologized earlier this year for his 2025 antisemitic behavior, several upcoming U.S. concerts, including shows in Tampa, are also facing calls for cancellation from public officials. Despite the criticism, tickets for the San Antonio show remain on sale.

X-Men Star Slams Marvel After Shock Snub From Avengers: Doomsday

Famke Janssen isn't thrilled that she won't be returning as Jean Grey in Avengers: Doomsday. During an appearance at Spacecon 2026, the actress said Marvel "made a mistake" by not inviting her back, joking that she's terrible at keeping secrets, so fans would have known if she'd been cast. Janssen first played Jean Grey in 2000's X-Men and returned for X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, plus brief appearances in The Wolverine and X-Men: Days of Future Past. While several of her former co-stars—including James Marsden, Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer, Patrick Stewart and Alan Cumming—are returning for Doomsday, Janssen didn't make the cast list.

The exchange quickly spread across social media, with many viewers surprised to see Hanks—who has long been associated with Democratic causes—taking a lighthearted swipe at the liberal cable network.

Hank Azaria Isn't Happy Taylor Swift Got Courtside Knicks Tickets

Speaking on a sports podcast, the longtime Simpsons star joked that fans had already seen plenty of Swift during NFL broadcasts and said he was tired of the "Taylor sports" phenomenon. Azaria stressed that he understood why someone as famous as Swift would get prime seats, but said he found the constant celebrity spotlight a bit much. Swift attended Game 4 alongside members of HAIM and actress Mariska Hargitay, wearing Knicks-themed gear as New York mounted a historic comeback on its way to winning its first NBA title in 53 years. Azaria said most celebrities aren't sitting courtside and revealed he was seated high in the arena with other stars, including Questlove, Rainn Wilson, and Jeremy Strong. He joked that only the A-list gets the seats everyone sees on TV.

Ryan Reynolds Details Being Run Over By Drunk Driver At 18

Actor Ryan Reynolds revealed that when he was 18, he was seriously injured after being hit by an alleged drunk driver while walking home in Vancouver. Reynolds said he had chosen not to drive after drinking and was crossing the street when the vehicle hit him. He spent four weeks in the hospital, suffered multiple broken bones on the left side of his body, and later revealed he was in a coma for three days following the crash. Speaking to GQ, Reynolds said the impact was so severe that the driver's car was left inoperable. Although he eventually recovered, he joked that he's been a "rickety, broken mess" ever since, with lingering physical effects from the injuries. The story resurfaced during a lighthearted interview with his Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney, but Reynolds' account highlighted how a decision to avoid driving after drinking led to a life-altering accident caused by someone else.

Kaley Cuoco Announces She's Pregnant With Baby No. 2

Kaley Cuoco is expanding her family once again. The Big Bang Theory star announced that she and actor Tom Pelphrey are expecting their second child together. The couple shared the news on Instagram with a series of family photos and videos, including a gender-reveal cake that showed they're having another daughter. Cuoco and Pelphrey are already parents to 3-year-old daughter Matilda, and Cuoco said the new baby will be "completing our little family." She admitted that this pregnancy has been a little more challenging than the first, but said the couple is incredibly grateful and excited to welcome "little sissy" to the family. The post included photos of Cuoco's growing baby bump, Pelphrey admiring an ultrasound, and a sonogram image that Cuoco jokingly said appeared to show their unborn daughter giving the family the middle finger. The couple, who began dating in 2022, welcomed daughter Matilda in March 2023. Cuoco has previously revealed that she and Pelphrey picked the name Matilda during one of their very first dates, long before they even had children.

Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Ice Cube In Talks For 'Jump Street' Return

More than a decade after 22 Jump Street hit theaters, a third movie is officially in the works. Despite the confusing math, the new film will reportedly be called 24 Jump Street. Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, and Ice Cube are all in talks to return, with Rodney Rothman directing from a script he co-wrote with Hill and Meghan Malloy. The first two movies, based on the classic TV series, followed undercover cops Schmidt and Jenko as they infiltrated a high school drug ring and later went undercover on a college campus. The films were huge hits, earning more than $500 million worldwide and becoming one of Hollywood's most successful comedy franchises. What's funny is that Tatum wasn't exactly enthusiastic about a third movie back in 2014. At the time, he said the college setting felt like the obvious next step and wasn't sure where the story could go after that without becoming repetitive. He even joked that maybe the characters would have to take down the government next. Tatum also revealed that the long-rumored 21 Jump Street and Men in Black crossover remains one of the best scripts he's ever read, although that project never made it to the screen.

Tracy Morgan Faces Backlash For Comments On Teachers

Tracy Morgan is facing backlash after comments he made about teachers during a Variety and CNN "Actors on Actors" interview with fellow comedian Marcello Hernández. During the conversation, Hernández joked about getting in trouble for talking too much in school. Morgan responded by suggesting teachers didn't understand Hernández's sense of humor and then remarked that teachers are still "making minimum wage." He went on to say he "can't stand teachers" because they have a "ceiling" and a limit to what they can become, contrasting that with the message he gives his own children that "the sky's the limit." While Hernández appeared surprised and laughed through the exchange, the comments quickly sparked criticism online after a clip was shared on social media. Many users defended teachers, arguing that educators play a vital role in helping students develop their talents and succeed.

Pat McAfee In Talks With ESPN Over Staggering New Contract Worth $60 Million A Year

Pat McAfee may be headed for a massive payday. According to reports, ESPN is already negotiating a contract extension with the former NFL punter that could more than double his current earnings and pay him over $60 million a year. McAfee brought The Pat McAfee Show to ESPN in 2023 and has become one of the network's biggest stars, thanks to his daily three-hour show, appearances on College GameDay, and other programming. ESPN executives have credited him with helping attract younger viewers, particularly in the key 18-to-24 demographic. The reported talks come despite McAfee still having two years left on his current deal, which is believed to be worth nearly $30 million annually. His representatives reportedly sought a contract in the same neighborhood as the record-setting extension signed by Stephen A. Smith. Away from television, McAfee recently shared personal news about the birth of his son, Midas. The baby arrived four weeks early after McAfee's wife Samantha underwent an emergency C-section due to severe preeclampsia. Midas spent about 36 hours in intensive care before being released, and McAfee said the family has been celebrating ever since.

MGK Details Sickness That Turned His Skin Yellow As He Underwent Grueling Blackout Tattoo Journey

Machine Gun Kelly says his dramatic blackout tattoo nearly landed him in serious trouble. The artist revealed that after being told the massive body tattoo would take about two years to complete, he pushed through the process in just two months. The intense sessions reportedly caused severe health issues, including swollen lymph nodes, yellowing skin, insomnia, and limited movement in parts of his upper body. Despite the ordeal, MGK said the experience left him feeling inspired and gave him a sense of overcoming a major challenge. He explained that the tattoo was part of a personal transformation, saying he no longer recognized himself beneath his collection of older tattoos and wanted a physical change to match a new creative direction. The tattoo, which covers most of his upper torso, was so painful that MGK previously called it the most painful experience of his life. He underwent the process without anesthesia or numbing agents and later said the goal was to reimagine what human skin could look like.

Dean Cain Under Fire Over Cruel Joke Mocking Supergirl Star Milly Alcock's Appearance

Former Superman actor Dean Cain is facing criticism after reacting to a social media post that mocked the appearance of actress Milly Alcock, who stars in the upcoming Supergirl. The controversy began when an online user compared Alcock to Cha-ka, a primitive human character from the TV show Land of the Lost. Cain replied, "Dang it... I laughed," along with a smiling emoji. His response quickly drew backlash from fans, many accusing him of being disrespectful and tarnishing his legacy as Superman. Cain later defended himself by saying he never called Alcock ugly, but he appeared largely unfazed by the criticism. The incident comes after Alcock previously spoke about the intense scrutiny women face in major franchises. The actress, who rose to fame in House of the Dragon, said she has learned that women in high-profile roles are often subjected to constant commentary about their appearance. Meanwhile, Supergirl is set to hit theaters later this month as part of the rebooted DC Universe.

Ann Wilson of Heart On Her Health And Cancer Fight

Heart frontwoman Ann Wilson is opening up publicly for the first time about her cancer battle, calling the experience "pretty scary." The 75-year-old singer revealed during an interview on Good Morning America that she underwent surgery, followed by multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiation after being diagnosed with cancer in 2024. Wilson first shared her diagnosis with fans in an Instagram post, explaining that doctors discovered cancer after an operation and recommended preventative chemotherapy. The diagnosis forced Heart to postpone its Royal Flush Tour while she focused on treatment and recovery. The singer said music became a major source of strength during her battle, describing it as a positive force that helped her get through the difficult months. Once her energy returned, she resumed touring and made her comeback on February 28, 2025. Wilson recalled deciding to face fans exactly as she was on that first night back, ditching a wig and performing from a wheelchair. She said the moment was about being authentic and embracing who she was as she returned to the stage. The rock icon recently released the documentary Ann Wilson: In My Voice, which explores her life, career, and personal journey.

Doja Cat Calls Elon Musk A 'Barrel-Chested Ewok' In Social Media Rant

Doja Cat is once again making headlines for her social media commentary, this time taking aim at Elon Musk while asking him to restore a feature on X. The singer posted a series of messages on the platform requesting the return of audio posts, a feature that allowed users to publish voice recordings instead of text. While making her request, she included a string of humorous and highly critical remarks about Musk's appearance, including comparing him to a "barrel-chested Ewok" and other colorful insults. After a fan joked that she hadn't directly tagged Musk, Doja followed up with another post that doubled down on the personal jabs while again urging him to bring back the audio-post feature. Audio posts were originally introduced when the platform was still known as Twitter in 2020, but the feature appears to have been removed in early 2025. Users can still send voice messages through private messages. Musk, who purchased the platform in 2022, has not publicly responded to Doja Cat's comments.

Chris Hemsworth, Wife Elsa Pataky And Kids Denied Boarding For International Flight

Chris Hemsworth revealed that he and his family were once denied boarding on an international flight after he accidentally brought the wrong child's passport to the airport. During an interview with Harper's Bazaar Arabia, the Thor star admitted he grabbed his daughter India Rose's passport instead of one belonging to his son. Hemsworth jokingly tried to convince airport staff that the passport belonged to his daughter, but the plan quickly fell apart. According to Hemsworth, a security agent looked at the document and bluntly responded, "That's a boy." His wife, Elsa Pataky, was quick to point out that the children don't actually look alike, making the mix-up even more embarrassing. The couple, who married in 2010, share daughter India Rose, now 14, and 12-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan.

Quentin Tarantino Slams Modern Movies

Quentin Tarantino is taking another shot at modern Hollywood, saying most new movies leave him frustrated because they're filled with plot holes, audience pandering, poor casting, or what he bluntly called "stupid" ideas. In a new essay, the director behind Pulp Fiction said it's become rare for a film to completely win him over. Tarantino argued that today's movie industry has lost much of the magic that made him fall in love with cinema, even claiming the films of the last several years make the often-criticized 1980s look great by comparison. One major exception, however, is Netflix's new thriller The Rip starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Tarantino praised the movie as a smart, suspenseful cop thriller with a clever premise, strong performances, excellent direction, and a standout screenplay. The filmmaker also reiterated his frustration with the shrinking theatrical window between movie theaters and home viewing, arguing that films now disappear from theaters too quickly. He previously called 2019 the "last year of movies" and says the current system has contributed to his growing disillusionment with the industry.

Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney continue to show mutual admiration for each other. Swift recently shared one of McCartney's social media posts and called the former Beatle an "eternally exceptional artist," adding that she is constantly inspired by him. The praise came shortly after McCartney compared Swift's worldwide popularity to the height of Beatlemania during an interview. While acknowledging the similarities in their levels of fame, McCartney said Swift doesn't need any advice from him, joking that he's more of a grandfather figure to her generation. He also praised Swift and fellow young stars like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Sabrina Carpenter. The two music icons have developed a friendship over the years, appearing together at major events, collaborating on interviews, and supporting each other's projects.

"Jersey Shore" Star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino Says He's Thinking About Running For NJ Governor

Reality TV star Mike Sorrentino says he may have political ambitions in his future, hinting that he could run for New Jersey governor in 2029. Speaking at a magazine launch party, Sorrentino said he'd first like to expand his addiction recovery business, Archangels, into all 50 states. After that, he joked that voters could call him "Governor Situation." He hasn't said which political party he'd run under, though he hinted at support for lower property taxes. Sorrentino became famous on Jersey Shore for his "gym, tan, laundry" lifestyle but later faced legal troubles, serving eight months in prison after pleading guilty to tax evasion. He has since been open about his recovery from addiction and has focused on helping others through his rehabilitation centers. One potential hurdle for a New Jersey gubernatorial run: he was born in Staten Island, New York.

Peabo Bryson — the legendary R&B singer whose voice powered Disney classics like “Beauty and the Beast” and “A Whole New World” — has died at age 75, according to a statement from his family.

Scorsese said he sees AI as another step in the evolution of cinema, comparing it to technologies he previously adopted in films like Hugo and The Irishman. He explained that AI can help him communicate visual ideas more quickly to production designers, cinematographers, and other members of his creative team. In a video announcing the partnership, Scorsese demonstrated using the company's AI tools to help storyboard scenes and said the technology could save time during pre-production while reducing strain on film crews. He stressed that the tool helps bring ideas to life faster without replacing the creative people who ultimately build the final product. Scorsese joins other prominent filmmakers exploring AI, including James Cameron and Peter Jackson, while others such as Guillermo del Toro have been outspoken critics of generative AI in filmmaking.

Director Slams Late Val Kilmer As The Worst Human Being

Director Adam Marcus is drawing attention after reportedly posting harsh criticism of late actor Val Kilmer on social media. In a since-deleted Threads post, Marcus reflected on working with Kilmer during the 2008 direct-to-DVD thriller Conspiracy and described the experience in extremely negative terms, calling Kilmer the "worst human being I've ever known." Marcus suggested that Kilmer's alleged behavior on set would not be tolerated in today's industry, though he did not provide specific examples in the reported posts. The comments resurfaced discussion about Kilmer's career and personal struggles. The actor, known for roles in films such as Top Gun and Tombstone, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and underwent treatment that permanently affected his voice. Despite those challenges, he continued acting and writing in the years that followed. Kilmer died from pneumonia in 2025 at the age of 65. While Marcus' comments offered one negative perspective, many of Kilmer's colleagues and fans have remembered him as a talented and influential actor whose performances left a lasting mark on Hollywood.

"Euphoria" Is Over: HBO Series Officially Ending With Season 3

Sam Levinson has confirmed that Season 3 of Euphoria serves as the show's official ending, with HBO also confirming the series finale. Levinson said the story he set out to tell—centered on addiction and its consequences—has now reached its natural conclusion. In the final episodes, the show took a dramatic turn, with Nate Jacobs dying in the penultimate episode and central character Rue Bennett, played by Zendaya, dying from a fentanyl overdose in the series finale. Levinson revealed that Rue's ending was partly inspired by and dedicated to late cast member Angus Cloud, who died in 2023. He described the finale as a tribute to Cloud and "a prayer for the future." The final season faced numerous challenges, including a four-year gap since Season 2, Hollywood strikes, the deaths of Cloud and producer Kevin Turen, and the difficulty of reuniting a cast that had become major stars, including Zendaya, Jacob Elordi, and Sydney Sweeney.

Hannah Waddingham Reveals 'Love-Hate' Working Relationship With Ted Lasso Star Jason Sudeikis

Hannah Waddingham has opened up about the creative challenges of working with Jason Sudeikis on the hit series Ted Lasso, revealing that his last-minute script changes can be both frustrating and rewarding. Waddingham, who plays team owner Rebecca Welton, joked that she and Sudeikis have an ongoing "love-hate relationship" because of his habit of rewriting scenes on the fly. According to the actress, Sudeikis often adjusts dialogue after hearing it performed, forcing cast members to stay flexible and adapt quickly. Her comments come after reports that production on the show's third season faced delays, with some blaming extensive rewrites during filming. Despite the challenges, Waddingham appeared to speak fondly of the process, describing it as part of Sudeikis' creative style.

Tom Hardy's 'Mobland' Exit Could Cost Paramount Millions

Tom Hardy's reported departure from the hit Paramount+ series MobLand is creating a major headache for producers, who may now have to spend millions rewriting and reshooting parts of the show's second season. According to reports, Hardy was fired after an alleged clash with producers during the filming of Season 2. The actor plays Harry Da Souza, a central character in the crime drama, making his sudden exit difficult for writers and producers to work around. Insiders claim the season finale was nearly complete when the decision was made, meaning producers may now have to rework key scenes to explain why Hardy's character is no longer part of the story. The challenge is even bigger because the show has already been renewed and plans for a third season are moving forward. Reports also claim tensions had been building behind the scenes. Sources allege Hardy was frequently late, pushed for script changes, and offered creative notes that were not always welcomed by producers. There are also claims he became frustrated that more attention was being given to co-stars Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan. The reported dispute allegedly involved producer Jez Butterworth, with some reports suggesting tensions became so severe that the production team felt they could no longer continue working with Hardy.
