Debates around which Batman is the best has been a hot topic in the fandom for a long time. Many hail Michael Keaton’s performance as the magnum opus of the masked vigilante on film. Others, though, prefer Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight as the best portrayal of the masked vigilante due to Christian Bale’s performance.

There are, however, though fewer in numbers, fans who believe Ben Affleck had been the best of them all in Zack Snyder’s DC saga. Interestingly, after an old clip of Affleck’s performance recently went viral on social media, more and more fans seemingly agree with that sentiment.

However, they also think that Snyder made a mistake with his Batman direction without which, Ben Affleck would unanimously be hailed as the best Batman among all.

Ever thought your neighbor was just that—well…a neighbor? The one you trade awkward hallway greetings with, exchange uncomfortable smiles over the fence, and maybe, just maybe, nod at during the rare neighborhood BBQ. But what if the neighbor next door wasn’t just a passerby in your life but a master puppeteer, weaving a web of secrets, desires, and betrayals? Oh, the plot that thickens when the friendly facade fades, right?

In the case of The Couple Next Door, life in the cozy suburban neighborhood takes a major nosedive into the messy unknown. We’re talking about the kind of relationships where one’s not just worrying about a spilled drink on the carpet. Here, the circumstances are way higher.

Ben Affleck maintained a close friendship with Jennifer Garner post-divorce. The couple tied the knot in 2005 and separated in 2015 before finalizing their divorce in 2018. While Affleck remarried to Jennifer Lopez in 2022, fans have noticed how he’s closer than ever to Garner after divorcing Lopez. Here’s what a body language expert said about Garner displaying “subtle tension” with her ex-husband despite their friendship.

Jennifer Garner reportedly helped Ben Affleck through his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Affleck frequently visited Garner’s home before and during the divorce proceedings.

While many in Hollywood feel the pressure to maintain youthful looks and alter their age, Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow is all about embracing the natural process of aging and finding beauty in every stage of life. Unlike most actresses, Paltrow isn’t buying into the idea of trying to turn back time.

Instead, Gwyneth Paltrow is focusing on the wisdom she has gained and learning to love the changes that come with growing older. So, in a world obsessed with staying young, the Iron Man actress claimed to have embraced the process of aging gracefully, and she has some powerful words about it.

Bridgerton has had its fair share of steamy scenes, but there are few that have stuck out to fans as defining character moments and story arcs. There are few who can forget the ‘I burn for you’ line from Season 1, one that set the tone for the show and solidified itself as one of the defining moments in Daphne and Simon’s relationship.

However, Season 4 seems to have a scene that has trumped the confession that the duo shared, regardless of how cathartic it might have been. While there are some who believe there have totally been moments that have topped this scene, some believe that only in Season 4 did it meet its match.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce in January 2025. They separated after two years of marriage, crushing Bennifer fans’ dream that the couple could make their romance work. Since the separation, Lopez has said she’s embracing loving herself and plans to move forward as a single woman for awhile. However, a body language expert says she “doesn’t enjoy being single.”

Jennifer Lopez is having a hard time being single post-Ben Affleck, according to a body language expert

Jennifer Lopez loves love. The “Jenny From the Block” singer has been married four times and engaged six. She thought that her love story with Ben Affleck would last the rest of her life, as she and Ben initially fell in love in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, their differences proved too great to overcome. Lopez served Ben divorce papers in August 2024, and they finalized their divorce in January 2025.

Mayim Bialik from The Big Bang Theory almost fell prey to Hollywood’s obsession with beauty. While there is nothing wrong with appreciating beauty, holding a certain type of look superior over others is harmful. The damage only increases when people are ostracized for not matching up to that unrealistic standard.

In an industry as competitive as Hollywood the repercussions of that unrealistic beauty standard increase tenfold. Especially when many doors get barred from actresses who do not adhere to the standards that would otherwise be open to them.

The Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik, too, almost came close to caving into the pressure at one point. However, being a part of the industry from a young age made her overcome the pressure at last.

Marvel Studios has added many A-Listers to the MCU during the Multiverse Saga, though several of them - Harry Styles, Charlize Theron, and Brett Goldstein for example - have only been utilised in yet-to-be-resolved post-credits scenes.

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are expected to feature countless familiar faces. However, there are also likely to be some huge new additions to the MCU (and that list of newcomers will only grow with the release of Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men reboot).

Today, @MyTimeToShineH brings word that, "Jennifer Lopez is being considered for a major Marvel role." The scooper doesn't share any further details but there are plenty of exciting possibilities.

Lopez, also known as J.Lo, is considered one of the most influential Latin entertainers ever. She's been credited with breaking barriers for Latino Americans in Hollywood and helping propel the Latin pop movement in music with over 80 million records sold.

Apart from her beautiful features, actress Jessica Alba is also among the most bankable actresses in the industry. While the actress is currently going through a separation from Cash Warren, the duo did spend more than two decades together. But before she met Warren and fell in love, she was in a very serious relationship with another famous actor.

This was none other than NCIS actor Michael Weatherly, and the duo even got engaged for a brief period. While they had no animosity when they parted ways, in an interview, the actress refused to answer a question that featured Weatherly.

What’s Good: The banter and chemistry between the characters feel just right, and it is great to send them off on a good note.

What’s Bad: The plot’s formula and the filmmaking feel obsolete, to the point that there are many deja vu moments through the runtime, as if you have seen this film many times before already.

Loo Break: The second act overextends itself, so that is a good point to have a break.

Watch or Not?: Watch only if you are a huge Bridget Jones fan.

Joe Jonas has officially mastered the art of laughing at himself. The singer made headlines last month after admitting that he had a little accident on stage. And instead of dodging the messy truth, he’s been having the time of his life joking about it.

“It’s quite fun for me,” he told People. “I like people to come up with their idea of what it was.”

Joe first told the story in July during an interview on Kiis FM’s Will & Woody show. He was asked to share something he had never told anyone before, and without hesitation, he went for that memory.

As someone who tends to lean toward minimalist fashion, I’ve always been fascinated by Selena Gomez’s sleek and sophisticated approach to red carpet dressing. Her recent appearance at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival was consistent with her preference for feminine outfits with clean, elegant lines.

Selena, one of the eight recipients of this year’s Virtuoso Award, demonstrated that she doesn’t need to wear something grand to get attention. She only needs a white mini-dress and matching shoes to steal the show.

Following Kendrick Lamar’s recent Super Bowl Lix halftime show, many fans believe singer Carrie Underwood should headline the next show.

Lamar performed at halftime of the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles championship game, with mixed reactions from viewers.

He featured various songs from his catalog during his set, emphasizing his Drake diss record, Not Like Us, and multiple tracks from his 2024 studio album, Gnx.

In addition to Lamar, Sza joined him on stage for several songs, including their duet Luther and All the Stars.

Several of this year’s halftime show moments went viral, including Serena Williams performing a crip walk dance on stage.

Now that the show is over, Underwood’s fans believe she’d be perfect as headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl due to her association with the NBC network.

The NAACP said Thursday that the Wayans family — Keenen Ivory Wayans, Damon Wayans Sr., Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Kim Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. — will be inducted into the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame.

The honor will be bestowed February 22 at the 56th NAACP Image Awards, which will air live on BET and CBS from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

“For decades, the Wayans family has been at the forefront of comedy, breaking barriers and opening doors for waves of entertainers,” NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said. “Their trailblazing work in television, film, and stand-up has transcended pop culture and cemented their legacy in the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame. Recognizing their achievements with this induction is a celebration of a multi-generational legacy that continues to advance and uplift communities. The Wayans family has set a standard of excellence, and their influence resonates far beyond the stage and screen.

The Hall of Fame Award is presented to “individuals or groups who have been pioneers in their respective fields and whose influence continues to shape their industry for generation.” And as one of the most influential families in comedy and entertainment — collectively behind such culture-defining hits as “In Living Color,” “My Wife and Kids,” “Hollywood Shuffle,” the “Scary Movie” franchise, “White Chicks” and the hit CBS sitcom “Poppa’s House” — they certainly fit the bill.

During the midseason finale, Eddie (Ryan Guzman) expressed an interest in moving to Texas to be with his son. In a new interview with Forbes, Guzman shared his thoughts on Eddie’s storyline and whether it would come to an end. While he loves playing the character, he’s open to Eddie’s journey, wherever it leads him.

“I love the character so much, and it’s been a pleasure playing the character for so long that I could see myself playing for a bit longer,” Guzman exclaimed. “However, if I woke up tomorrow and the character was no longer available to play, I would feel solid in the fact that I did my due diligence with him.

Following a stiff performance at her Celebration of Mimi residency in Las Vegas, Mariah Carey’s fans are concerned for her well-being.

A video of Carey’s performance at Park MGM has sparked speculation among viewers that the singer is slowing down. In clips of the show, Carey makes steady, deliberate steps across the stage, largely remaining stationary, while backup dancers sashay around her. Amid comparisons to Joe Biden, internet users have made remarks about the singer’s stamina and acuity.

“Why is she moving like she’s 105 years old?” one person asked.

Others speculated that her slow movements might be related to her extravagant outfit. In her trademark superfluous style, Carey sported a bright pink bodysuit and a trailing tulle skirt accented by chunky, exceedingly tall high heels with little support.

In “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” the neurotic, lovelorn heroine hasn’t just swapped cigarettes for Nicorette. She’s traded the big screen for Peacock, a second-tier streaming service where the franchise’s fourth entry will debut on Feb. 13.

If you’re Gen Z, it will be with lots of minerals, potions and slippers. But it’s a good movie to watch on the sofa.”

Relegating “Mad About the Boy” to streaming signals how far the romantic comedy has fallen in the 24 years since Bridget first captured audiences’ hearts.

Did you hear? Amy Schumer is about to be "Kinda Pregnant." That's how Netflix's Tudum chose to introduce the comedian's new film, and while such a headline might seem so confusing that nobody ever watched the movie, quite the opposite has transpired over on the king of the streaming platforms.

According to the site, the film is "about a woman who fakes a pregnancy — and maybe falls in love," which I can't help but think is all that was said in the pitch meeting before this one got the greenlight. Why? Because "Kinda Pregnant" has a 22% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and perhaps even more damning, a 23% audience score. Which is another way of saying that we have yet another middling streaming film on our hands.

Perhaps it's unfair to be so dismissive. After all, the great Will Forte is in "Kinda Pregnant," and it's produced by Adam Sandler's Happy Madison company.

In his time, he was a DJ, an A&R credited with saving Def Jam Records by helping sign Jay-Z and Dmx, a producer who crafted a signature, multi-platinum sound, and a label head for Murder Inc., which sold over 30 million albums from artists like Ja Rule and Ashanti.

The star-studded cast also includes Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Benny Safdie, and Charlize Theron. Other actors like Himesh Patel, Elliot Page, Bill Irwin, and Samantha Morton will also appear.

Seriously, Netflix has become way too expensive for a service that still hasn't apologized for Kevin Hart's "Lift." Prime Video is the closest to challenging Netflix's reign, with 200 million subscribers of its own, but even then it's got a long way to go before it catches its competitor.

Now, it seems Jeff Bezos' streaming platform is challenging Netflix in another way: with instantly forgettable streaming movies. If you're still in doubt as to what such a thing is, 2025 should have already clarified things for you with films like Cameron Diaz's "Back in Action," which dominated the Netflix charts in January despite being horribly reviewed. It's not that all these films are bad.

Jennifer Garner revealed once that she wasn’t sure she wanted to do a movie that her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, was directing. However, she’d be more receptive to the idea if certain requirements were met.

Garner and Affleck aren’t strangers to working with each other. They did Pearl Harbor and Daredevil together. But after they became a couple, Affleck didn’t think it was a good idea to collaborate on-screen again. Especially after what he’d already experienced with ex Jennifer Lopez, where their relationship overshadowed Gigli.

“I would be profoundly lucky to work with her. But something tells me that people don’t want to see real-life couples together at the movies,...

Jennifer Lopez was once allegedly very close to the late Murder, Inc. founder Irv Gotti before their deep fallout. Reportedly, Gotti’s bond with Lopez was so strong that he was willing to defend her against former Death Row CEO Suge Knight.

One of the biggest urban myths in the music industry is that Knight possesses a sex tape featuring Lopez and her ex-boyfriend. Knight even reminded people these supposed tapes were still floating around, implying that they might’ve even been shown to Affleck. The hip-hop mogul theorized that law enforcement confiscated the tapes while raiding Diddy’s home, then exposed the tapes to the Argo star. Afterward, Affleck would never be able to look at Lopez the same again.

“I’m quite sure they probably called, and...

When Hollywood legend William Shatner speaks, people tend to listen, whether he’s talking about space, Star Trek, or, apparently, celebrity relationships. So, when he weighed in on Sandra Bullock’s very public and very messy split from Jesse James, it raised more than a few eyebrows. Why? Because Shatner, ever the optimist, actually thought there was a chance they’d get back together! Yes, you read that right.

Back in 2010, the world watched in collective horror as news broke that Jesse James, the motorcycle-building reality TV star, had cheated on the ever-lovable Sandra Bullock. It wasn’t just one mistake, it was a full-on scandal with multiple women coming forward. America’s sweetheart had her heart broken, and fans were ready to protect her at all costs. But Shatner? He had a different take.

Why Doesn’t Drake Want To Marry A Fellow Celeb? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Drake isn’t looking for a Hollywood power couple moment. The 36-year-old rapper made it clear—he has no plans to marry a fellow celebrity because, in his words, “famous people really aren’t that… anything.” During an appearance on The Really Good Podcast with Bobbi Althoff, Drake shut down the idea of settling down with someone in the spotlight. When Althoff playfully suggested Beyoncé as a match, he quickly dismissed it. “Ok, someone else, ’cause Beyoncé’s married,” he quipped.

Then came the real revelation: “I probably will end up marrying someone that’s not famous. Famous people really aren’t that intriguing.” For someone who has been linked to major names like Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Hailey Bieber, this perspective might surprise fans. But Drake doubled down, saying he’s never been a “celebrity chaser...

Matt Damon having a family changed many things about his life, including his approach to doing films like the Bourne franchise. But his family started almost as soon as he started dating his wife Luciana Barroso. Barroso already had a child from a previous relationship at the time, which meant that Damon had to become a father early.

Damon and Barroso first met while she was working in a bar in Miami in 2003. Barroso shared they had instant chemistry with each other, and the two seemed to have gotten closer after she revealed she had a daughter.

“We definitely had a connection right away. It was so easy to talk to each other [and] we were very comfortable [with each other], and by the end of the night he invited me to go out with his friends.

Independent films – especially ones made and acquired for movie theaters – need all the wins they can get these days, and “slow and steady” is the mantra emerging after a sleepy Sundance Film Festival.

While opening weekend of the January event is typically filled with buzzy stars and late-night bidding wars, this year was marked by unusual silence and reflection as the 41-year-old festival prepares to leave its longtime home in Park City, Utah. But the deals have been coming, the price tags make sense for respective buyers and there’s hope brimming up inside art house circles.

The first and biggest splash was the $17 million check Neon wrote for “Together,” a wild body horror romp about a codependent couple played by real life spouses Alison Brie and Dave Franco. This was powered by stellar audience reception on the ground, and the box office and awards reception currently surrounding “The Substance” didn’t hurt,...

It takes a small army to pull off a nearly four-hour live awards telecast, full of spectacle, music legends and perhaps a record number of dancers this time around.

Grammy Awards executive producer Ben Winston and his team outdid themselves this year with a show that was poignant, provocative and packed with compelling performances. None of that can happen in a live telecast setting without a whole lot of advance work and a generous dollop of good luck to boot.

Here’s a look at the backstage hustle and bustle among producers and production staff, as they worked to keep the 67th annual Grammy Awards telecast humming along. A behind-the-scenes lens also captured notable Grammy performers and presenters including Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Jennifer Lopez, Cynthia Erivo, Brittany Howard and Grammy host Trevor Noah as the starry names moved through the downtown Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena on what is...

Pictures: Netflix / Various Distributors

Welcome to your comprehensive look ahead at all the new movies, series, games, and specials, whether Netflix Originals or licensed titles, coming to Netflix in the United States throughout February 2025.

As always, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with Netflix’s removals as much as you will new releases. We’re keeping stock of them in our February 2025 departures post, where we’ve got over two dozen movies leaving on the first, with movies like The Pope’s Exorcist, Despicable Me, and more leaving.

Please note that this is very much a work in progress and doesn’t represent the full list of what’s on the way in February. We’ll continuously update it over the coming days and weeks as and when we learn of new titles on the way!

In this week’s episode of “Screen Talk,” we take a look at the slow Sundance market as well as the new shape of the Oscar race post-Karla Sofía Gascón’s implosion.

There were a few competitive buys at the tail end of this year’s Sundance: Neon bought horror flick “Together,” Netflix acquired period Denis Johnson adaptation “Train Dreams,” Janus and Sideshow bought art film “Peter Hujar’s Day,” and A24 bought breakout Eva Victor’s “Sorry Baby.”

But so far, no one has picked up Bill Condon’s “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” which awkwardly tries to meld a Kander & Ebb Broadway musical with a prison romance. If a distributor positioned it well, there might be some action for star Jennifer Lopez as a legacy prize, as well as breakout Tonatiuh.

Netflix is making an Oscar play with Clint Bentley’s “Train Dreams,” starring Joel Edgerton. And “Sorry...
