Loki is one of those shows that can’t quite fit into one genre. Yes, it’s a Disney Plus series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it is so much more than that.

The TV series includes time travel, alternate worlds, saving universes, and so much character development that it’s hard to find something just as good. This is a story where the villain becomes the hero, continuing a journey started before his death.

With the series now seemingly at an end, there’s no doubt that you want to find something else to watch. Here are five great shows to check out next, and not all of them are Marvel!

Next July is going to be a big month for Tom Holland. Not only will the actor be reprising the role of Peter Parker for Spider-Man 4, but he’ll also be starring alongside Matt Damon in Christoper Nolan’s The Odyssey. The two films were previously slated to hit theaters within a week of one another, but Sony Pictures has shifted the release date for Spider-Man 4, pushing the film back to July 31, 2026. That’s now two weeks after The Odyssey is due to hit theaters on July 17th.

That’s still mighty close, but it does provide a little more breathing room between the two movies. We don’t know much about Spider-Man 4 at this point, only that Holland will be returning and that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton will be taking the helm. In October, Holland said the script was coming along nicely.

Universal ha lanzado el primer vistazo a La Odisea, la esperadísima adaptación del poema épico de Homero que, según el estudio, promete ser «una epopeya de acción mítica grabada alrededor del mundo con la última tecnología IMAX». La película, dirigida por Christopher Nolan, acaba de iniciar su rodaje y cuenta con un reparto de auténtico infarto.

Matt Damon (Los instigadores), en su reencuentro con el director tras Oppenheimer, encabeza el reparto como Odiseo, el legendario rey de Ítaca que tras la Guerra de Troya emprende un accidentado viaje de regreso a casa. Junto a él, una alineación de lujo: Tom Holland (saga Spider-Man), muy probablemente en la piel de su hijo Telémaco, Zendaya (Dune: Parte Dos), Anne Hathaway (La idea de tenerte), Robert Pattinson (The Batman), Lupita Nyong’o (Un lugar tranquilo: Día 1), Charlize Theron (Mad Max...

The Dark Knight trilogy director Christopher Nolan has assembled one of the most impressive casts we've seen in quite a while for his upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, and it sounds like he was hoping to be able to make the ensemble an even more star-studded affair.

According to Daniel Richtman, Nolan was courting Oppenheimer Oscar-winner Robert Downey Jr. for the role of Poseidon, the Greek God of the Sea, but the actor was going to be too busy filming Avengers: Doomsday to make it work. The scooper has also heard that Nolan is staying "super faithful to the original story, and is "determined to use as many practical effects, real sets, and as much makeup work as possible."

This follows a previous report that Nolan intends to shoot the movie's Cyclops scenes at Nestor’s Cave in Greece, and a 6x6m mechanical anthropomorphic puppet of Polyphemus is being created for the sequence.

Exclusive: Michael Vlamis and Iddo Goldberg (Snowpiercer) have joined Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey, sources tell Deadline.

Character details are under wraps, as nearly all parts have been kept so far. Matt Damon leads the ensemble as Odysseus, King of Ithaca, whose perilous journey home after the Trojan War is at the center of the story.

An epic poem from Homer, the original literary classic explored themes of heroism, loyalty, cunning and the struggle against divine will, featuring stories like Odysseus’ encounters with the Cyclops Polyphemus, the Sirens and the witch-goddess Circe, culminating in a reunion with his wife Penelope.

Others in the sprawling cast of Nolan’s film include Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Benny Safdie, Charlize Theron, Himesh Patel, Elliot Page, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, Jesse Garcia, Will Yun Lee, Mia Goth, Corey Hawkins, Nick Tarabay, Jimmy Gonzales and Maurice Compte.

Christopher Nolan has begun shooting his next film, “The Odyssey.”

Produced by Universal Pictures, the star-studded blockbuster will be Nolan’s follow-up to his Best Picture-winning 2023 hit “Oppenheimer” and will reunite him with a number of his past collaborators both in front of and behind the camera.

An adaptation of Homer’s Ancient Greek poem, Nolan intends to shoot the period epic with “brand new Imax film technology,” making it a big-screen adaptation of “The Odyssey” the likes of which audiences have never seen before.

The film is still over a year away, but here’s everything we know right now about “The Odyssey.”

The announcements for Christopher Nolan’s latest, The Odyssey, don’t seem like they are coming to an end soon. Every week, a new tidbit is brought to light. Every week, a new star’s inclusion in the epic saga is made official. But this week is a little different.

While Mia Goth’s inclusion in the cast was made official not long ago, it seems like fans have something more to cheer about today. The reason? Matt Damon’s first look in the project has been revealed.

The Odyssey is one of Christopher Nolan‘s highly anticipated works. The anticipation can be partly attributed to the fact that it is based on the ancient Greek epic poem, attributed to the legendary Homer.

Matt Damon has been cast as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. A newly released image shows Damon dressed in military armor, giving fans a first glimpse of his portrayal of the legendary Greek king. The film is set to hit theaters on July 17, 2026, with production scheduled to begin later this month.

Nolan’s project features an impressive ensemble that includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie, Jon Bernthal, Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, and Mia Goth, among others. This marks Nolan’s return to a large-scale epic following his recent success with Oppenheimer, which garnered top honors at the Academy Awards.

On President’s Day, cinephiles got their first look at what just might be the most anticipated movie of 2026: Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey.” Universal took to its official social media accounts to release the first photo from the film, which shows Matt Damon in costume as Odysseus, the mythical Greek hero who spends a decade trying to return home after fighting in the Trojan War.

Damon was one of the first cast members announced for Nolan’s film, and was soon joined by Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Benny Safdie, Charlize Theron, Mia Goth, Jon Bernthal, John Leguizamo, and Elliot Page. None of the casting announcements have been accompanied by news about who is playing which character from Homer’s epic poem — though that did not stop fans from speculating that Holland could be playing Odysseus’ son Telemachus — so Universal’s post marks the...

Universal Pictures and Christopher Nolan are making this Monday mythological with a first look at Matt Damon as Odysseus for the filmmaker’s assuredly epic adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey. The image shared online shows Damon in the world-famous character’s battle armor. The side-angled shot gives us a peek at Damon’s salty beard, battle scars, and world-weary look.

Homer’s The Odyssey, and by the same token, Nolan’s highly-anticipated film follows Odysseus in his perilous journey home after the Trojan War, showcasing his encounters with Polyphemus, the Sirens, Circe, and finishing with his reunion with his wife, Penelope.

Like any other Christopher Nolan film, the cast is positively stacked with many of Hollywood’s heaviest hitters, including Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal, Robert Pattinson, Charlize Theron, Zendaya, Mia GOth, Elliot Page, Lupita Nyong’o, Samantha Morton, John Leguizamo, Will Yun Lee, Benny Safdie, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin,...

There's a huge amount of excitement surrounding Christopher Nolan's next movie, The Odyssey, and as the filmmaker gears up to begin shooting his first fantasy feature, we have an official first look at Matt Damon as Odysseus (via SFFGazette.com).

This may be an indication that, due to Nolan's penchant for shooting in real-world locations, Universal Pictures is wary that the paparazzi will be snapping shots of the cast. Either way the Interstellar and Thor: Ragnarok star looks mighty impressive here.

Despite claims that Tom Holland will be The Odyssey's lead, the fact Damon is taking centre stage in this first look suggests the focus will very much be on Odysseus. Will more photos of the cast follow? We hope so, though this is an exciting glimpse at what's to come in the movie.

"Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across...

Anticipation is building for Christopher Nolan’s next epic.

Universal has unveiled a first look of Matt Damon playing the lead in Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey.

The side-angle shot shows Damon, who worked with Nolan in Oppenheimer, clad in military armor. An X post unveiling the image reiterated the movie’s July 17 2026 release date.

Just before Christmas, it was revealed that Nolan’s latest project would be the adaptation of Homer’s epic poem composed around the 8th century Bce. As one of the foundational poetic texts of Western literature, the story follows Odysseus, King of Ithaca on his dangerous journey home after the Trojan war. The ancient Greek epic illustrates a true hero’s journey as the titular figure faces Polyphemus the Cyclops, Sirens, the nymph Calypso and the witch goddess Circe in the treacherous oceans that separate him from his island home and wife Penelope.

Boom. Fresh off the back of the Oscar-sweeping Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan is ready to venture on a new cinematic odyssey. By which we mean, his next film is The Odyssey – a new adaptation of Homer’s epic Greek poem, likely sending the filmmaker into fantastical territory for the first time. In recent weeks, we’ve seen various updates come in on Nolan’s next project – largely, a gigantic swathe of casting, with Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Elliot Page, Anne Hathaway, Jon Bernthal, Charlize Theron and more among the impressively sprawling ensemble. But now, we have our very first look at the film – one that not only gives us a first glimpse at what Nolan is cooking here, but that confirms the most important role.

Universal Pictures has revealed the first look at Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming telling of The Odyssey.

Set to hit theaters on July 17th, 2026, the film will also reportedly star Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Himesh Patel, Jon Bernthal, Elliot Page, Benny Safdie, Mia Goth, Corey Hawkins, Bill Irwin, Samantha Morton, Jesse Garcia, and Will Yun Lee. Other than Damon as Odysseus, details on other specific roles remain under wraps.

Filming on The Odyssey reportedly began in February, and will include on-site shooting throughout the Aeolian Islands in Sicily, Italy, including on the island of Favignana, which Odysseus and his men are believed to have visited.

The Odyssey marks Nolan’s first film since Oppenheimer, for which he won Best Picture and Best Director at the 2024 Academy Awards.

First Look at Matt Damon as Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey...

Universal Pictures offered a surprise first-look at Christopher Nolan’s next movie on Monday that doubled as confirmation that Matt Damon is indeed the lead in “The Odyssey.” Despite rumors that Tom Holland might be playing the mythic hero, Damon is playing Odysseus in Nolan’s adaptation, which is gearing up to roll cameras ahead of a July 2026 release.

The action epic, based on Homer’s epic poem, starts production this month and will be shot across the world using new IMAX technology.

Written in 8th century B.C., “The Odyssey” follows the 10-year journey of Odysseus as he tries to make his way home after the Trojan War, encountering trials, tribulations and literal monsters on his journey.

The stacked ensemble cast for Nolan’s adaptation also includes Holland, Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, John Leguizamo, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie, Mia Goth, Himesh Patel (“Station Eleven...

Whenever Christopher Nolan starts a new production, you can bet that the cast will be absolutely stacked. Like, come on, save some actors for the rest of Hollywood! Per THR and Deadline, Mia Goth (MaxXxine) and Corey Hawkins (The Last Voyage of the Demeter) have joined the cast of The Odyssey.

As you might expect, there are no official details on who Goth or Hawkins may be playing in the film, but THR does note that Goth’s role “may not even involve speaking at all.” They say she could be playing a siren, one of those enchanting creatures whose song lures sailors to their deaths, or perhaps a goddess or even a statue. Hrm.

Cody, Mason Novick, Trent Hubbard and Mary Anne Waterhouse are set to produce the feature, via Novick’s Mxn Entertainment banner.

As Deadline has previously reported,...

On the heels of the recent news that Elliot Page is set to re-team with Inception director Christopher Nolan on his upcoming adaptation of Homer's The Odyssey, we're hearing that The Umbrella Academy star might be in line for an MCU role in the near future.

Though we don't have many details, scooper Mttsh claims that Page has met with Marvel Studios for a potential part in an upcoming project.

As we're sure any fan of 20th Century Fox's now defunct X-Men franchise will be aware, this wouldn't be Page's first Marvel Comics role, as he - then still known as Ellen Page - played Kitty Pryde, aka Shadowcast, in X-Men: The Last Stand and Days of Future Past. Though it's highly unlikely that Page would be in talks to reprise that particular role, he could be on the studio's radar for the long-awaited X-Men reboot, as casting rumors...

Hey there, fellow movie enthusiasts! If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably spent countless hours getting lost in Christopher Nolan’s mind-bending masterpieces. While we’d love to have his entire filmography at our fingertips on Netflix, the streaming service currently hosts just two of his incredible works.

But don’t let that discourage you – these two films are absolute gems that perfectly showcase what makes Nolan such a groundbreaking director. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just diving into his work, you’re in for a treat with these visual spectacles that’ll have your brain doing somersaults long after the credits roll.

This year is going to be a Fan-tastic one for Marvel superheroes and villains. Plenty of movies are coming in 2025 that will have Marvel Cinematic Universe fans begging for more. However, the magic is when the character on the page is embodied by the perfect person on the screen.

Several X-Men and Avengers of the past have proven when those two merge into one perfectly, a supernova of excitement can happen. One of the superpowers of Kevin Feige and his team is casting. Not enough praise can be lauded for the work Marvel Studios puts in to choose the right individual to bring their characters to life. Look at 2025 in the MCU, which will include Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross/Red Hulk, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon Williams/Wonder Man, Vanessa Kirby, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Fantastic Four, and Ralph Ineson as Galacatus.

All of these actors are also extremely well-known faces from the industry, including Elliot Page, Himesh Patel, and more.

Christopher Nolan is currently busy perfecting his star cast for his upcoming movie, ‘The Odyssey.’ The feature film is an adaptation of the Greek epic poem written by Homer. The storyline revolves around the Greek King Odysseus and his struggle-filled journey to his home in Ithaca from the Trojan War. On that 10-year journey, Odysseus had to face many hurdles and interruptions from many people (including Gods). The plot also covers how his wife and son deal with aggressive suitors while the King has been away from his kingdom.

Nolan’s feature project already confirmed the lead star cast, including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron and Jon Bernthal.

Writer/director Christopher Nolan threw us for a loop when it was revealed that his follow-up to the acclaimed award-winning atomic bomb biopic “Oppenheimer” would be a modern adaption of the classic Greek myth epic “The Odyssey” by Homer. The latest group of casting additions, according to Universal, include Himesh Patel (“Tenet,” “Station 11”), Elliot Page (“Inception”), Bill Irwin (“Interstellar”), and Samantha Morton (“The Walking Dead,” “Minority Report”).

With Mia Goth also reported to be in negotiations to feature in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, the end credits for the film will not be short.

One of the most fun news threads of late 2024 was getting a weekly (or sometimes daily) casting announcement for Christopher Nolan’s planned take on The Odyssey. It ran through October to the year’s end. Along with all sorts of wild speculation about the nature of the project, gave us a kind of longer version of an advent calendar where a new name would be waiting for us every morning.

And what names! We’ll get to the full cast list in a moment, but before we do, let’s take a look at some of the new additions that have reportedly been added to the ranks. Deadline has stated that Himesh Patel, Samantha Morton and Bill Irwin have now joined the ever-growing ensemble.

How did Jennifer Lawrence react to the nude fight scene in No Hard Feelings? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Yes, Jennifer Lawrence actually found it hilarious. “I didn’t even have a second thought,” she told Variety. “It was hilarious to me.”

The scene in question was one of the standout moments of the film, where Lawrence’s character, Maddie, goes skinny-dipping with a 19-year-old she’s hired to seduce. When some teens swipe their clothes, she doesn’t back down – she chases them and starts fighting, all while completely naked. Her Hunger Games training was on full display, even when things got awkward (she even gets punched in the groin).

Why was nudity suddenly becoming a thing again in comedies? Kristen Lopez, a film critic for The Wrap, explained it as a response to the post-covid world. “Movies are trying to bring back joy and fun after the Covid years,” she said.

How did Cardi B turn the tables against her Tattoo Artist? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Brophy sued over Cardi’s Gangsta B**ch Music Vol. 1 cover, where his tattoo appeared on a compromising image. However, it was the tattoo on the man’s back that caught attention. That tattoo, which Brophy claimed was “core to his identity,” was his own. The issue: Brophy never signed off on his artwork being used like that.

In court, Brophy painted a picture of emotional distress, calling it “raunchy and disgusting.” He argued that his tattoo was unfairly altered and used in an image he felt was damaging to his reputation. “It looks like I’m giving oral sex to somebody that’s not my wife,” he claimed. But the judge wasn’t having it, noting that the image wasn’t even adult material, let alone pornography.

Cardi, though, wasn’t actually aware of the tattoo’s use.

The 2000 addiction drama, directed by Darren Aronofsky, left scars. Leto played Harry Goldfarb, a heroin addict whose spiral into despair mirrored the film’s harrowing tone. “I cried so much during the making of that movie,” he admitted. But the real tearjerker came off-camera. During a scene requiring raw emotion, Leto received a life-shattering call: A close friend had been shot in the head. “The emotion that came at that moment…I recognized what a brutal loss this was,...

Was Angelina jolly almost about to pass on Tomb Raider? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

It’s difficult to fantasize about Tomb Raider without Angelina Jolie. She was the Lara Croft—courageous, formidable, and forever up for action. But, surprise, she almost said “no thanks” to the role! Back in 2001, Jolie wasn’t confident about playing a video game character at all.

She had just won an Oscar for Girl, Interrupted and was focused on serious roles. And let’s say what it is—video game movies weren’t exactly known for being exceptional back then. So, she wasn’t persuaded.

But then, the studio made her a proposal that changed everything. And no, it wasn’t just about the compensation. They gave her something way more exhilarating—something that played right into her love for rough patches and epic quests. So, what precisely made her say yes? Let’s plunge in.

Was Taylor Swift severely fined for a lot of trash outside her home? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Taylor Swift, the beloved singer known for shaking off haters, couldn’t do much when it came to piles of trash outside her Tribeca townhouse.

The Blank Space artist had reportedly racked up over $3,000 in fines for failing to keep the sidewalks outside her $18 million property clean. The fines included “piles of newspapers, bottles and cardboard; napkins and wrappers; and ‘scattered ashtray contents’ and a cigarette carton,” according to the New York Post.

Her fines had started rolling in just a few months after she’d moved into her three-story townhouse in 2017, and the trash problem had persisted for nearly five years. In total, she’d received 32 tickets, with the fines amounting to $3,010. Even though she’d been worth an estimated $570 million, Swift and her army of lawyers hadn’t exactly let the fines slide.

Kim Kardashian Relationship Regret ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Kim Kardashian dished out some serious self-reflection on The Kardashians, giving us all the feels. It turns out that the queen of quick-turnarounds has had a few regrets about her relationship with Pete Davidson. Spoiler alert: Kim’s not exactly happy with how fast she jumped back into the dating pool after her divorce from Kanye West.

“I definitely jumped into another relationship so fast,” Kim told her sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, on the show. “It got my mind away from stuff, and that’s not a way to run away from things. It’s better to deal. Heal… Deal, heal, and then feel.” So, yeah, maybe her rebound wasn’t the smoothest.

Who can blame her, though? A Kardashian never stays single for long, especially when the spotlight’s always on. But Kim’s now looking back with a bit more clarity.

What was Tom Holland’s condition for playing Spider-man? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

If that wasn’t on the table, no way was he swinging back into the suit. Tom Holland’s been the face of Peter Parker since Captain America: Civil War (2016), and let’s be honest, he crushed it.

From Homecoming to Far From Home and No Way Home, the guy’s put his mark on the MCU. And we all know No Way Home was a whole moment, pulling in nearly $2 billion worldwide. But when it comes to a Spider-Man 4, Holland’s laying down some serious ground rules.

“I’m going to have to plead the fifth there, because I’m not prepared to start talking about the future of Spider-Man,” he dropped in an interview. No surprises there—he’s not ready to jump back in unless they find a way to do Spidey justice. “If...

Liam Payne Podcast Revelation ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Liam Payne shared the life-changing moment that sparked his recovery journey: his appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast. That infamous episode, in which Liam made wild claims about One Direction, became the wake-up call he desperately needed.

“I became somebody I didn’t recognise anymore, and I’m sure you guys didn’t either,” Liam confessed in a YouTube video. “I was so angry at what was going on around me that instead of looking inwards, I decided to take it outwards on everybody else.”

He admitted that his mental state had spiraled so far that he didn’t even realize how off-track he’d become. We all saw it unfold during the podcast in June 2022 – Liam said some pretty shocking stuff, like how all the One Direction members “hated each other,” and his comments about Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson were a lot.

In a heartfelt WWE video from June 6, 2023, the 16-time champ fought back tears while paying tribute to his longtime rival, Edge (Adam Copeland), calling him a “good human being” who truly lives for sports entertainment. The raw emotion hit hard—fans felt it, the internet ran with it, and just like that, one of wrestling’s greatest feuds came rushing back.

Cena and Edge’s rivalry began in 2006, a fiery clash of charisma and grit. Their first singles match saw Edge triumph, sparking a decade of brutal battles—steel chairs, title shots, and crowd-roaring promos. Yet behind the scripted chaos, mutual respect brewed. “He’s given so much to you guys,” Cena said in the video, his voice trembling, “and I also think he’s aware of what you’ve given him.”

The tribute wasn’t just about rivalry.

Why didn’t Miley Cyrus react when her top fell on TV? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

As she belted Party in the USA in Miami, the chain on Miley Cyrus’ silver chainmail top snapped mid-performance. Instead of panic? A sly grin, a quick exit, and a fiery red blazer revival. “Everybody’s definitely looking at me now,” she quipped, rewriting her own lyrics.

For Cyrus, live TV chaos is just another Tuesday. The former Hannah Montana star, who grew up on Disney’s polished sets, leaned into the “tight-rope walk” of unscripted moments. “They want to see you dangle, but they don’t want to see you fall,” she told British Vogue later. Hosting with Pete Davidson—a duo NBC billed as “wild” and unpredictable—Cyrus leaned into the hype. “We promoted the show as, ‘You never know what’s going to happen,’” she joked.

The malfunction wasn’t her first rodeo.

Did Michael Jackson buy Eminem’s music catalog as payback? ( Photo Credit – Facebook )

The claim? After Eminem mocked Jackson in Just Lose It during his 2005 child abuse trial, the King of Pop silently snatched his rival’s royalties. But like a remix of fact and fiction, the truth hits different.

Eminem’s Just Lose It (from 2004’s Encore) did ruffle feathers. Lyrics like “I done touched on everything but little boys, and that’s not a stab at Michael” paired with a video parodying Jackson’s Pepsi fire incident and plastic surgery rumors. Jackson, mid-trial, wasn’t amused. “It’s outrageous and disrespectful,” he told a LA radio station in 2004, threatening legal action. “I’ve admired Eminem as an artist, and was shocked by this.”

Fast-forward to 2007: Sony/Atv—a company Jackson co-owned—bought Famous Music LLC, acquiring rights to Eminem’s back catalogue. Social media spun this as...

Here’s why Britney Spears actually chose to shave her hair! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

In her memoir, The Woman in Me, she set the record straight: after years of being scrutinized, controlled, and picked apart, Britney Spears wanted to take back something for herself.

“I’d been eyeballed so much growing up,” she wrote in an excerpt from People. “I’d been looked up and down, had people telling me what they thought of my body, since I was a teenager. Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back.”

Picture this: she had just left rehab, was fighting a brutal custody battle with Kevin Federline, and stepped outside—straight into a wall of 70 paparazzi cameras. So, she did what no one expected. Britney Spears grabbed the clippers and buzzed it all off.

There are no boundaries for Bianca Censori, who has sparked massive outrage for her naked avatar on the Grammys 2025 red carpet. Kanye West’s wife reportedly arrived uninvited at the award ceremony. She’s now at the receiving end of backlash, and she left little to the imagination and had to be escorted out of the event. Scroll below for details!

As always, Ye pulled off a decent outfit while drawing all the attention to his wife. He wore an all-black outfit and paired it with matching-colored shoes. The rapper completed his look with sunglasses. On the other hand, Bianca was initially seen walking in a furry long overcoat. But she went bold as soon as she arrived on the red carpet.

After a short conversation with Kanye West, Bianca Censori turned her back to the cameras.

The Dark Knight trilogy director Christopher Nolan has been assembling one of the most impressive casts we've seen in quite a while for his upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey, and Elliot Page (The Umbrella Academy) is the latest actor to join the ensemble.

Page, who previously worked with Nolan on Inception, joins Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway, Lupita Nyong’o, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Benny Safdie and John Leguizamo.

In addition, Daniel Richtman - who broke the news of Page's casting before the trades confirmed - is reporting that Mia Goth has also signed on for an undisclosed role.

We don't actually know who anyone is playing, but Damon and Holland are said to be the leads, which would suggest that the former will play Odysseus and the Spider-Man star his son, Telemachus.

"Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across...

Did Elliot Page go on a double date with Leonardo DiCaprio and his mom? (Photo Credit – Instagram/Facebook)

While filming Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio, always the matchmaker, decided to set up his costar with a friend of his. But the plot thickens: DiCaprio tagged along, bringing his mother to join in on the date.

Elliot Page was in his early twenties during the Inception shoot, still navigating his sexuality. Although he hadn’t publicly identified as gay yet, he had shared past relationships with women with his mom. But, as Page explained in his memoir, he struggled with the pressure to conform to what others expected of him. “The closet was grueling, it suffocated me,” he wrote, revealing how he tried to “be the person so many wanted me to be” by dating men, though it never felt authentic.

Despite these internal struggles, when Page connected with a friend of DiCaprio’s,...

Did a famous actor threaten Elliot Page? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

In the chapter titled “Famous A–hole at Party,” Page recounted how an actor he considered an acquaintance confronted him at a birthday party in Los Angeles. The actor told him, “You aren’t gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men.” The situation escalated when the actor made a chilling threat: “I’m going to f*** you to make you realize you aren’t gay.”

The audacity of the encounter left Elliot Page shaken, but it didn’t end there. Just days later, the actor tried to backtrack on his comments when he ran into Page at the gym. “I don’t have a problem with gay people, I swear,” the actor claimed. To which Page responded, “I think you might.” It was a painful reminder of the homophobia Page—and countless others in the LGBTQ+ community,...
