Hanks and Allen aren’t necessarily a pair of celebrities that you would expect would become friends, but the pair have frequently been spotted having breakfast together and otherwise getting together even when they don’t have a movie to work on together. In a recent appearance on theHowie Mandel Does Stuff podcast, Allen talks about his friendship and the way Hanks specifically helped him deal with one of the hardest parts of the job, press interviews. Allen said…

Okay, so Knight and Jimmy are officially done, and it seems like Knight is finally moving on. I’m really intrigued by the possibility of something happening with Torres, even though he’s dating Knight’s sister, Robin! It’s messy, I know. I was reading what Valderrama said to TVLine, and apparently, if a romance *does* develop, it’s going to be seriously complicated – which, honestly, makes me want to watch even more!

*Kiss of the Spider Woman* is a film that appeals even to those who don’t typically enjoy musicals, while also offering a powerful story of acceptance and queer love set in an Argentine prison during the 1980s. The film strongly suggests that the character Molina is transgender, and in the accompanying video, I discuss this interpretation with the film’s lead actor and director. Director Condon explains his perspective on Molina’s identity, stating:

If you’re not familiar with the *One Piece* story from the manga or anime on Netflix, Luffy’s brother, Ace, is a really important character early on. We know Ace will appear in the new live-action series, but the actor, Xolo Maridueña, claims he isn’t playing the part. Here’s what he said, and why I think he’s not being truthful.

Katy Perry is currently on her Lifetimes Tour and recently performed in London. During the concert, she invited a fan onstage who jokingly mentioned hearing she was single. Perry playfully responded, saying, “That’s interesting.” The fan then surprised everyone by getting down on one knee and proposing with a handmade sign asking Perry to marry him.

Brandon Blackstock, the ex-husband of Kelly Clarkson, passed away on August 7th at the age of 48. This occurred five years after Clarkson filed for divorce. Although their split was difficult, they continued to co-parent their two children. Following his death, Clarkson received strong support from *The Voice*, allowing her to prioritize her family. Sources told The Sun that the situation did cause some disruption to the show’s filming schedule.

A common running gag in the *Final Fantasy* games is the appearance of characters named Biggs and Wedge. This is a nod to two supporting characters from *Star Wars*. They often play the role of somewhat clumsy friends and have, at different times, aided both the good guys and the bad guys. They first showed up in *Final Fantasy VI*, but in the original SNES version, Biggs was actually known as Vicks.

In the film, McAdams stars as Linda Liddle, a quiet and unassuming office worker constantly belittled by her snobby and unpleasant boss, Bradley (played by O’Brien). After a plane crash leaves them stranded on a deserted island as the only survivors, the power dynamic shifts. Bradley’s controlling behavior finally pushes Linda to take charge, and she asserts herself as the new leader. The film’s trailer brilliantly sets up this wild combination of comedy and thrills, and I’m really excited to see it!

Krysten Ritter recently posted a short video on Instagram showing the first part of the trailer for the upcoming season of *Daredevil: Born Again*. The trailer was previewed at New York Comic Con and offers fans a first look at Ritter reprising her role as Jessica Jones. It also briefly introduces Matthew Lillard’s character, Mr. Charles, who will be a significant challenge for Wilson Fisk (played by Vincent D’Onofrio) when the season begins streaming on Disney+ in March 2026.

After the last trailer for Glen Powell’s *The Running Man* was released yesterday, Stephen King shared his thoughts – and he loved it! He went on to say he thinks it’s a truly great action film, even comparing it to some of the best in the genre.
