Ryan Gosling’s Paycheck Transformation Is Nothing Short Of Epic! ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Canadian actor, writer, and director, Ryan Gosling, is one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood who has not only wooed us with his charming looks but also proved his worth as a versatile actor. He kicked off his career as a child star by featuring in the 90s’ series The All-New Mickey Mouse Club when he was just 12. So, from a very young age, he has seen it all – the highs and lows of being an actor.

Even though he was a kid while starring in The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, he reportedly earned $185K per week for about 13 weeks in total during the filming, which is quite a lot. But Gosling achieved fame after featuring in the rom-com Notebook alongside Rachel McAdams. And from then on, his paycheck only doubled. So do you know how...

Note: This review was originally published as part of our 2024 Riga coverage. Toxic is now streaming on Mubi.

It’s a shame Toxic wasn’t around for the recent excretions of body-horror discourse. Saulė Bliuvaitė’s debut feature, winner of the Golden Leopard at this year’s Locarno Film Festival, does at least as much to turn the stomach with its tablet of tapeworm eggs than either of The Substance or A Different Man‘s Faustian cures. The rub in Bliuvaitė’s film is that such a pill exists, if only for those willing to wade onto the dark web––even Googling its side effects, as the protagonist discovers, should be done with some degree of caution. The anatomical anxieties and queasy professional demands that create a market for such horrors are the subject of Bliuvaitė’s film, which follows two teenage girls living in the shadow of a Lithuanian...

Apple TV+ just dropped a teaser for its new thriller The Last Frontier.

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Con Air and Yellowstone had a moody, prestige TV baby set in the Alaskan wilderness, well, you’re in luck.

From The Blacklist‘s Jon Bokenkamp and The Call’s Richard D’Ovidio, this ten-episode series stars Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty) as Frank Remnick.

Remnick is the lone U.S. Marshal overseeing one of the quietest and most remote corners of America… until it’s not so quiet anymore.

Everyone knows how I felt about Netflix’s Little House on the Prairie reboot when it was first announced. The long and short of it being, “why are they trying to ruin my childhood?”

I grew up on the original Little House on the Prairie. It was part of my childhood. It wasn’t easy to imagine anything being as wonderful as it was

However, the latest casting and news have me rethinking my skepticism, and maybe there is room for a different take on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books.

(Eric Zachanowich/Netflix) Having Some Well-Known Actors Could Entice Viewers

Initially, the Ingalls Family casting news didn’t sell me. The girls were the best part of it, and I wish they had hired more well-known actors for Charles and Caroline.

Maybe it’s me, but I hadn’t heard of Luke Bracey or Crosby Fitzgerald before.

You’ve probably noticed that TV Fanatic can get a little loud when something bugs us.

Whether it’s the Emmys failing broadcast TV again or a beloved show mishandling a character arc, we don’t always hold back.

And you know what? That’s because we care.

(Carissa’s Corner)

We’re not here just to cheerlead. We’re here to engage.

When TV is great, we want to shout it from the rooftops. When it falls short, we’re going to talk about that too because we want it to be better. That’s not negativity. That’s passion.

But let’s be clear about one thing: TV Fanatic is so much more than “What went wrong this week?”

We’re not stingy with praise. When something deserves it, we go all in:

Director Zach Cregger is back with yet another horror masterpiece, and this time, there are a bunch of kids gone missing. Starring Julia Garner and Josh Brolin in leading roles, Weapons is looking like a great horror piece, and fans are excited.

The first reactions for Weapons have been made public, where audiences got an early release before its theatrical debut, and it seems that Zach Cregger has done it again. With plenty of horror, mystery, and an intriguing storyline that never loses its gravitas, the upcoming movie is every horror fan’s dream come true, and the first reactions say it all.

Fawad Khan Opens Up About Mental Health Battles and Why He Avoids Social Media (Photo Credit – YouTube)

Fawad Khan is one of the most loved actors not only in the Pakistani film industry but also in the Hindi film industry. He marked his Bollywood debut alongside Sonam Kapoor in 2014 with the film Khoobsurat. Apart from this, he has also worked in several successful films like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Kapoor & Sons. Let’s look back at the time when Fawad opened up on being a victim of mental health issues. Read on to know more.

Fawad Khan On Facing Mental Health Challenges

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Fawad Khan reminisced about facing mental health challenges he faced throughout his career. He shared, “Well, I think it’s a business of vanity. There is insecurity; to a certain degree, everyone faces that insecurity. I think the best way to tackle it is.

In 2011, ABC created something magical with Once Upon a Time. It blended beloved fairytales and real-world storylines, and the fans loved it.

It began with two worlds: Storybrooke, Maine, and the fairytale realm, which expanded throughout the series into multiple fairytale realms, including Neverland, Camelot, and Oz.

The premise seemed simple. Young Henry Mills brought his birth mother, Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), to Storybrooke to break a curse and believe in fairy tales, including those of his adoptive mother, who had once been the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla).

Not so much, especially when Emma’s parents turned out to be Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas).

Leaked scripts for The Bold and the Beautiful seemingly confirm the fates of Liam and Luna, following a deadly shooting. The soap has run an action-packed storyline recently, culminating in a potential tragedy, as Sheila and a wounded Liam are held at gunpoint by an emotional and angry Luna.

The show has seen many dramatic storylines in recent times, such as Nick Marone's B&b return, but the latest thrilling, action-packed arc could become a memorable one. With the fate of Luna, Sheila, and Liam unclear, a leaked script may have shed light on what audiences can expect from two of the characters.

Via Entertainment Now, the leaked script image, posted on the X account Corrinelovessoaps, showed the cast list for an upcoming episode. The scripts were filmed back in June, but the front cover has a list of the characters for an episode that will supposedly air in September, with Liam and Luna's names included,...

General Hospital spoilers reveal that Kirsten Storms recently posted a video on Instagram to explain her leave of absence from the show and shared how long she would be off Gh.

Last week, fans noticed that Kirsten Storms was replaced in the role of Maxie Jones by Nicole Paggi, who had stepped in for her in December 2023.

‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Kirsten Celebrated Her 20th Anniversary Playing Maxie

Storms recently celebrated her 20th anniversary playing Maxie. She announced her temporary departure and her recent move from Los Angeles to Tennessee with her daughter, Harper Rose Barash.

She shares Harper with ex-husband, Brandon Barash, who played Johnny Zacchara on Gh and Stefan Dimera on Days of Our Lives.

Soap Opera Digest reported Storms would appear on Gh during the week of August 18th. Beyond that, Kirsten is taking a longer break from Gh and will be off the canvas for several months.

General Hospital fans are getting angrier by the minute. They need something to happen, and they need it to happen sooner rather than later. A fan named June has a plan for how to blow up all of Port Charles!

The Truth Will Set You Free

Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) was devastated when she flew all the way to Germany only to learn that Michael (Rory Gibson) didn’t want to see her. At which point, Willow promptly got back on a plane and flew home. She didn’t even stick around to see if Michael might be convinced to change his mind.

Oh, well, she thought, that’s that. We can never reconcile, or even talk anything out, again. Drew (Cameron Mathison), of course, completely agreed with her assessment.

F1 has been one of the most talked-about movies of the year. From its high-octane realism to that stacked cast and the Lewis Hamilton seal of authenticity, the buzz was real. After much anticipation, it finally dropped on June 25 globally and June 27 in the U.S. and Canada.

Fans raced to theaters, and the box office numbers proved it–$55.6 million domestic and $144 million worldwide. F1 didn’t just cross the finish line, it blew past expectations. But once the cheers quieted down and Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) drove into the sunset, one question lingered: why would he walk away after such a massive win? If that twist caught you off guard, you’re not alone. But look closely and you’ll see the answer was hiding in plain sight the whole time.

Meanwhile, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) proposes marriage to Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

Taylor Hayes’ Desperate Proposal

The weekly preview clip features Taylor proposing to Ridge. There is nothing wrong with a woman proposing to a man.

However, this wasn’t planned and it seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to Brooke gloating about Ridge getting jealous of Nick Marone (Jack Wagner).

It seems that Taylor’s proposal will be overheard by someone. Before we get to that, let’s talk about the look on Ridge’s face during that proposal.

Unfortunately for Taylor, it seems like Ridge feels awkward, not overjoyed, by Taylor’s marriage proposal. The designer...

Saturday Night Live boss Lorne Michaels is facing some serious accusations from a veteran actor who claims being gay kept him from getting an SNL audition. And it's not the first time the topic has come up regarding Michaels.

Former Groundlings member Tim Bagley discussed Saturday Night Live during an appearance on The Julia Cunningham Show. Bagley claimed that despite his success with the improv group, he never got the opportunity to audition for Saturday Night Live.

Bagley said the reason was because he "was out as a gay man.” He went on to say that it was widely known SNL "would not hire openly gay people."

“All my friends did, and I was always kind of a standout at The Groundlings, but I was out,” Bagley, 67, said. “That’s the problem with being out back then was there were no guardrails. I mean, if somebody didn’t want to have you on their show,...

Matt Damon’s illustrious career boasts numerous blockbusters, but Good Will Hunting will forever remain one of his best films to date. A true classic that continues to be a favorite of fans even today, the film has slowly been climbing the streaming charts thanks to Paramount+.

While millions of fans have been streaming this classic, we cannot help but recall how the film nearly did not happen without the Aladdin alum and late actor, Robin Williams.

How Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Good Will Hunting was saved by Robin Williams Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting | Credits: Miramax

The journey of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to Hollywood stardom is a tale of extreme perseverance and unmatched talent. They were both struggling actors in their twenties waiting for a big break, but their ‘big breaks’ came by their own hands, when the two best friends wrote the screenplay for Good Will Hunting.

Jessie Maple began work on Will, a spirited tale about addiction and community ties in contemporary Harlem, in the late ‘70s. The project was completed in 1981 and is widely recognized as the first independent feature written, directed, and produced by a Black American woman. Last Friday, some four decades later, Maple’s debut film received its first full theatrical release via Janus Films.

Janus opened a 4K restoration of the film at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

A true landmark of independent American cinema, Will was shot on location in Harlem with a budget no greater than $12,000. Obaka Adedunyo stars in the film as a former All-American basketball star who has fallen from grace due to drugs. With the support of his wife, Loretta Devine, making her screen debut, Will (Adedunyo) finds a renewed sense of purpose in the community while mentoring a streetwise 12-year-old named Brother (Robert Dean) and...

An actor, rapper, and producer all in one, Will Smith is a man of many talents. He is one of the most famous stars in the entertainment industry.

While he has more than just proven that he isn’t one to give up no matter what happens, Smith has also made a rather brilliant presence for himself online as he has become increasingly active on TikTok with his participation and work in popularizing trends over the years.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3 Announces New Cast Members (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Andrew Richardson, Zubin Varla, and Adam Young have officially joined the cast of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for its upcoming third season, which recently began filming at the series’ new production home at Shepperton Studios in the UK.

While Prime Video has roped in Richardson as a series regular, Varla and Young will appear in recurring roles. Continue scrolling to learn more about the cast members.

Richardson is a Canadian-born British actor who made his professional theatre debut in the Olivier Award-nominated Guys & Dolls, directed by Sir Nicholas Hytner at the Bridge Theatre in London.

Sometimes the hardest battles are fought in silence, and nowhere is that truer than in Jessie Maple’s 1981 drama Will. This film didn’t just put a spotlight on heroin addiction; it shone a glaring beam on the raw grit and complexity of a man clawing his way back from the abyss, all while navigating the delicate ecosystem of family and community.

Watching Obaka Adedunyo’s portrayal of Will, a former basketball star wrestling with withdrawal and personal demons, reminds me that “the toughest climbs reveal the strongest souls.”

It’s not just a film about addiction; it’s a portrait of resilience, hope, and the wrenching tension between self-reliance and reaching out for help. Loretta Devine’s debut as Jean, Will’s wife, grounds the story with warmth and realism. Years later, seeing where these actors landed in Hollywood feels like witnessing the echo of that original fight, the struggle to be seen,...

Andrew Richardson, Adam Young, and Zubin Varla join ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ season 3

Prime Video’s massive fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has expanded its cast by three. Andrew Richardson is joining the production in a series regular role. Zubin Varla and Adam Young have boarded the series in recurring roles.

Prime Video’s announcement did not indicate who the three newcomers will be playing. They join previously announced new additions Jamie Campbell Bower (Stranger Things) and Eddie Marsan (Franklin).

“Jumping forward several years from the events of season two, season three takes place at the height of the War of the Elves and Sauron, as the Dark Lord seeks to craft the One Ring that will give him the edge he needs to win the war and conquer all Middle-earth at last,” reads Prime Video’s synopsis.

Production...

For the past three seasons, Ramón Rodríguez has played the highly intelligent and observant yet socially awkward and often misunderstood detective in ABC’s cop drama “Will Trent,” which is adapted from Karin Slaughter’s bestselling books. His character’s off-book approach to crime-solving, positive life outlook and compelling backstory — namely his severe dyslexia and traumatic foster-care upbringing — have made him one of television’s most fascinating detectives. It’s why Rodriguez, who is an executive producer, has deep affection for the character. Oh, and Will’s beloved sidekick, a Chihuahua named Betty, is quite the scene-stealer, too.

“I have a soft spot for Will,” Rodríguez said. “My love for him has only grown, and that’s due to the writing — the things we’re willing to explore.” Family, and his character’s constant search for what that means, is a motivating factor behind Will’s persistent drive. “On every level,...

Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” has added three cast members to its upcoming third season: Andrew Richardson, Zubin Varla and Adam Young. Richardson will be a series regular, while Varla and Young will appear in recurring roles.

Richardson, a British actor with an extensive resume of stage roles, previously appeared in films such as “Daughter of the Bride,” “The Independent,” “Jack London’s Martin Eden” and “Killer Among Us.” His television credits include “Extraplotations,” “Fantasy Island” and “The Last O.G.”

Varla, also hailing from the U.K., has already been credited with voice work in “The Rings of Power.” Some of his previous TV credits include “Andor,” “Holby City,” “Deep State,” “Will” and “Strike Back.” On the film side, Varla has appeared in “A Little Life” and stage-to-screen broadcasts of “Dara” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

“The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” cast has grown by three.

Andrew Richardson, Zubin Varla and Adam Young are all coming aboard Prime Video’s “Lord of the Rings” TV series in its third season. Richardson will join as a series regular while Varla and Young have recurring roles. Character details were were not revealed.

Richardson appeared in the theater world in “Guys & Dolls,” “Uncle Vanya,” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and next appears in Peacock’s “Ponies.” Varla recently appeared in “Andor” as well as “Deep State,” “Will” and “Our Girl.” For Young, he’s appeared in “Masters of the Air,” “EastEnders,” “The Witcher: Blood Origin” and “Sex Education.”

Viewers met Jamie Campbell Bower’s Vecna in Season 4 as the horrifying new villain that terrorized Hawkins and its residents. However, this may not be his first-ever appearance in Stranger Things. Premiering in 2016, the science fiction horror show took the world by storm, becoming Netflix’s flagship series and one of the most popular franchises on television.

Following the adventures of El and her pals, they set out on an adventure that shaped their childhood as well as tested their friendship. Over the course of four seasons, fans witnessed how they stood up and fought the monster that haunted the sleepy town, but with the introduction of Vecna, it seems like a huge mystery has been unveiled.

Warner Bros. Discovery, grappling with declines in its overall business, said Monday it planned to divide the company into two publicly-traded entities, one devoted to streaming and content production and one devoted to traditional television.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav will remain as the leader of the streaming-focused entity, while Gunnar Wiedenfels, the company’s CFO who has become known for finding new ways to cut old costs, will lead the TV company. The separation is expected to be completed by mid-2026, subject to closing and other conditions, and the bulk of the current company’s debt — nearly $38 billion –will be assigned to the TV entity.

“By operating as two distinct and optimized companies in the future, we are empowering these iconic brands with the sharper focus and strategic flexibility they need to compete most effectively in today’s evolving media landscape,” Zaslav said in a statement.

Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd’s offbeat buddy comedy Friendship is set to arrive on digital streaming platforms later this month. The A24 release, which had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, opened in U.S. theaters on May 9th, 2025. Now, according to industry sources, the film is expected to hit VOD and digital platforms soon. Please note that A24 has not officially confirmed the date, and as always, release plans remain subject to change.

What is Friendship About?

Friendship marks the directorial debut of Andrew DeYoung, who also penned the screenplay. The film follows Craig (played by Tim Robinson), a suburban dad struggling with loneliness and a desire for deeper connection. When a new neighbor (Paul Rudd) moves in, Craig sees an opportunity to finally form an adult male friendship. But his efforts to bond quickly spiral into chaos, threatening not only his new relationship but also both their lives.

We’re only a few weeks removed from the Will Trent Season 3 finale, and the show’s star is already pulling back the curtain on what to expect in Season 4. Will Trent was renewed for a fourth season roughly halfway through Season 3, and ABC confirmed not long ago that it plans to debut the next season before the end of the year. Starring in the lead role of Will Trent in the hit drama series is Ramón Rodriguez, known for his work in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Battle Los Angeles, and Need for Speed. Rodriguez directed the Season 3 premiere earlier this year, and during a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, he was asked if he has any plans to continue directing on the show.

"I will definitely be directing at least one episode next season. It makes the most sense for me to direct the premiere as I did this past season.

Housefull 5 Box Office: Akshay Kumar Fails To Enter Top 10 Ticket Pre-Sales On Bms!(Photo Credit –YouTube/Facebook)

Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 is off to a decent start; however, the fifth part of one of the most loved comedy franchises of Hindi Cinema has failed to register any ground-breaking numbers with the pre-sales, which hint at not-so-roaring opening numbers on cards!

Akshay Kumar Fails To Enter Top 10

Akshay Kumar has failed to enter the top 10 pre-sales recorded by Hindi films on Bms, ever since the tracking on the BookMyShow app started from 2023. The tenth spot is claimed by Salman Khan’s Sikandar with 281.21K sold tickets!

Housefull 5 Bms Ticket Pre-Sales

Housefull 5 has registered a Bms ticket pre-sale of 185K before the opening day. This ticket sales on Bms in advance is the third highest ticket sales for a Hindi film in 2025 after Chhaava’s 777K and Sikandar’s 281.21K.

Crying, one of the most primal expressions of emotion, translates across language and culture, often bringing viewers themselves to tears. But not all movie crying is created equal. Tears don't automatically make a great movie scene; the combination of acting, directing, and writing does.

It's difficult to properly calibrate the intensity of a crying scene. Should the actor be full-on sobbing or ugly crying a lá Tobey Maguire in the "Spider-Man" films? Should the tears look elegant and composed, like Cher's beautiful tears at the opera in "Moonstruck"? The audience has to believe that the character's circumstances are worth crying over and that their tears are genuine, lest they laugh instead of feeling empathetic.

The best cinematic crying scenes require actors to showcase their acting chops while also adding depth to the character and the story. When done well, tearful moments wordlessly let the viewer in on a character's true feelings.

Here’s How Breaking Bad May Have Altered How We Look At TV Villains!(Photo Credit –Facebook)

When Breaking Bad premiered in 2008, it didn’t just introduce Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston). It flipped the entire TV antihero formula on its head. This wasn’t just another fall-from-grace story. It was a slow, surgical dissection of morality. And the twist? It dared you to root for the villain every step of the way.

From the jump, Walt seemed like the guy you’d root for. A high school chemistry teacher, underpaid, overqualified, and diagnosed with terminal cancer — how could you not feel for him? He said he was cooking meth for his family. But as the story unfolded, it became clear: the empire he built wasn’t about love. It was about ego.

When Walter White Said It Was For Family… Was It Ever Really True?

The line “What...

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of June 2 suggest that Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) could face losing John Black (Drake Hogestyn). Will Horton (Chandler Massey) has a warning for Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez).

Plus, Ari Horton (Marissa Reyes) might be more deceptive than her mother realizes. Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

John Black’s Decline

Even though everyone is holding out hope, John’s health will decline. We know that through to the end of the week of May 26, John is hospitalized but still alive.

However, as major characters return, chances are that John will pass away. That means Marlena will not only mourn the man she loved for decades, but will have to plan his funeral as well.

It is teased that John could die on June 2, the same day as another character has an awakening.

Following its acclaimed festival debut and a quiet theatrical run, On Swift Horses—a brooding period drama rich with desire and deception—is galloping toward its digital streaming release. Directed by Daniel Minahan (Deadwood: The Movie) and based on Shannon Pufahl’s 2019 novel, the film is now available on VOD platforms, courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics.

What is On Swift Horses About?

Set against the backdrop of post-war 1950s America, On Swift Horses follows Muriel (played by Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her husband Lee (Will Poulter) as they try to settle into a new life in California after Lee’s return from the Korean War. But tranquility is short-lived.

Their world is disrupted by the arrival of Lee’s younger brother Julius (Jacob Elordi), a magnetic and mysterious gambler with secrets he can’t outrun. A simmering love triangle emerges, complicated further when Julius vanishes to chase a young card cheat he’s fallen for,...

In the broadcast ratings game for the 2024-2025 TV season, CBS reigned supreme with an average of 9.1 million viewers across linear and streaming views, and NBC came in second with 7.2 million. ABC was at a close third with 6.9 million, and Fox followed at 4.3 million. ABC was, however, in second place when it came to the most-watched primetime series on broadcast, with six of the top 20 most-watched series (trailing CBS’s whopping 11). The top shows for the network’s primetime viewership on broadcast and streaming (with a 35-day multi-platform window), according to Nielsen, were: High Potential, tied for second with CBS’s Matlock (at 16.1 million average viewers); Will Trent in sixth (11.6 million), 9-1-1 in ninth (11.2 million); Shifting Gears in 10th (11.1 million), The Rookie in 11th (10.7 million), and Abbott Elementary closing out the top 20 (8.9 million).

Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is gearing up for a double home media release after enjoying a successful box-office run. The American supernatural-horror film, starring Michael B. Jordan, became one of the highest-grossing movies of 2025 after opening in the US on April 18.

It has recently been revealed that the home version of the film will be released digitally on June 3 and on physical media on July 8.

Upon its release, the film not only created a storm at the box office but also wooed the critics with its nearly perfect score. The home media release is your chance to catch the movie if you haven’t already seen it. And if you have already watched the Sinners in theaters, it has something for you too.

Why should you watch Sinners even if you have already watched it in theaters?

The home media version of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners will also include over 90 minutes of special features,...

Let’s face it: the MCU has been flailing for years now. Since the turn of the decade, fans and critics alike have not been kind to Marvel, with everything that the universe had in store failing to pack the punch it once did.

It doesn’t come as a shock that the MCU had to pull out some desperate moves. Even Rdj’s reintroduction can be dubbed as nothing short of the same (not that anyone would have any complaints). And it seems like they have another move to provide a story fans love some much-needed impetus.

Did Taylor Swift make a cameo in "The Handmaid's Tale?" Probably not, but showrunner Bruce Miller is teasing her massive legion of fans anyway by saying "maybe."

In an interview with Variety after the show — which adapted its first season from Margaret Atwood's acclaimed sci-fi book of the same name and then spent the following five seasons continuing the story past its original endpoint — concluded, Jennifer Maas straight-up asked Miller if Swift appeared on the series in "Execution," the second-to-last episode of the show that aired on May 20, 2025. Why did she ask this? Well, as the world waits for Swift's final two re-recorded albums to drop ("reputation" and "Taylor Swift" are the only two of her first six albums that she hasn't released as "Taylor's Version" after her original masters were sold to her archenemy Scooter Braun), "The Handmaid's Tale" scored an enormous coup when Swift and her shrewd...

Thunderbolts* recently surpassed the domestic haul of MCU flop Eternals and is on its way to demolishing Captain America: The First Avenger. The MCU movie is whiskers away from beating the Chris Evans-led movie, which also features Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes. Keep scrolling for more.

The New Avengers is currently the third highest-grossing Hollywood movie of the year worldwide. However, it will be pushed further down in the list in the following weeks and later this year. It might not end up as one of the most profitable films of 2025. However, its excellent ratings have revived the MCU’s lost reputation to some extent, which might impact the Fantastic Four movie.

From amongst the many US-based Real Housewives shows, the Atlanta edition has always been a very loved one. But over the years, with the exit of some big fan-favorite cast members, the show began plummeting. The currently airing 16th season saw a cast shakeup with lots of new faces.

The season has not been attracting as many viewers on Bravo, though it has been doing decent online. The season saw the exit of Kenya Moore, another favorite housewife, after a controversial incident with threats and explicit photos. Here’s what Cynthia Bailey has to say about Kenya’s return.

Brooke has convinced herself that Ridge is her destiny. She believes that he will come around any day now and leave Taylor for her. The exes are expected to reunite on The Bold and the Beautiful, but this reunion has taken a slow-burning approach. This storyline is less predictable this time around, which has us wondering what will happen next.

Love Will Never Die

Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) have been in a decades-long passionate love affair with one another. Taylor (Rebecca Budig) got Ridge back after he boldly proclaimed that Brooke helped her daughter steal Forrester Creations from his father. He believes that she was in on the long con.

Next: Is Ridge and Brooke’s love story stale?

Brooke was trying to save the company from disarray. For months, she convinced Ridge that she accepted the CEO position for his sake. However, Ridge refused to hear any of it.

Jake McLaughlin from the popular ABC series Will Trent opened up about Detective Michael Ormewood's brain tumor storyline and how he felt playing that out on TV. During the finale of Will Trent season 3, Ormewood is diagnosed with a brain tumor and immediately faints, resulting in a seizure, following the shocking news. The season ends with this news, leaving it on a cliffhanger for season 4. While it is unclear whether or not Ormewood will be okay next season, he will be returning for Will Trent season 4.

While speaking with ScreenRant's Rachel Foertsch, McLaughlin discussed the brain tumor storyline and what it was like to play this out for the TV show. McLaughlin says that while it was difficult to film a scene like this, he wanted it to look as realistic as possible. He wanted to make sure he did it justice for those who have gone through a similar situation.

Dominik Mysterio is the son of WWE legend Rey Mysterio. Despite his father’s huge legacy, Dominik has made his own mark by winning the Intercontinental Championship. He is also well-known for his on-screen romance with Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan.

His chemistry with Liv Morgan is so believable that many fans think they are dating in real life. However, this is not true; Dominik is actually married to a woman he met years ago in a Spanish class he wasn’t even supposed to be in.

If you thought Gringotts was the only place with piles of gold, wait till you hear how much HBO is throwing at the new Harry Potter TV reboot. We’re talking Galleons, Sickles, and more Muggle cash than you can imagine. After the Og franchise made the $9B magic happen, HBO now seems to be planning on churning a similar level of success.

Forget Game of Thrones—one of the greatest and most popular fantasy series ever made—it seems that Warner Bros. is betting big on J.K. Rowling’s book series to burn the budget record of Emilia Clarke’s show to ash. So Potterheads, buckle up, the numbers behind this reboot are more shocking than Voldemort’s return.

Hailey Bieber knows how to turn online hate into a playful moment, doesn’t she? She has once again made headlines with her latest cheeky Vogue video, where she humorously references using witchcraft to make her husband, Justin Bieber, fall in love with her.

Her tongue-in-cheek comment is likely a shady response to the internet’s wildest conspiracy theories by her haters. And Selena Gomez’s loyal followers will likely have a very different take.
