The year of Glen Powell marches on, and nothing can stop him, not even a little weather emergency. Powell already led Anyone But You, the hit romantic comedy and Hit Man the comedy about a romantic hit man, so next up he will star in Twisters, as a man who probably gets hit by some comedic debris. There might be some romantic segments in there as well, we just don’t know yet.

Powell stars in the highly anticipated sequel to the 1996 natural disaster flick, which will breeze into theaters later this summer. And Powell promises that the action will be worth the almost 30-year wait. “There’s a sequence in the movie that I think is going to be one of the most incredible action sequences of all time,” Powell told Fandango. “It all happens in a oner and I think that we shot that in December with a rain machine. One of the coldest nights I’ve ever experienced, getting dragged across a pool by a wire.” Powell will surely be giving Tom Cruise a run for his money. Here is everything else we know about Twisters.

Plot

Minari‘s Lee Isaac Chung directs the film, which is a considered a stand-alone sequel to the original. While it shares a name with the first film, they are not connected. Daisy Edgar-Jones told Entertainment Weekly that even though it would not be a direct sequel, there would be “loads of nods to the original.”

But having a storm tracker movie in 2024 is very different than the ’80s. Edgar Jones told EW that it “really feels like a new chapter in a really brilliant way. There’s new technology, there’s new ways to understand these crazy weather systems and tornadoes — so we’re bringing it up to date with what the state of the world is now.”

The film will follow Edgar-Jones as Kate Carter, a former storm chaser who now stays far away from the eye of the storms after a traumatic storm encounter. She reluctantly returns to the hunt to assist her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) to test a revolutionary new tracking system.

While there, she meets Powell’s character Tyler, “the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew,” with no regards to danger. But when many massive storms collide, the crew find themselves “squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma” and they must fight to survive. Hence, the “S” in Twisters! There’s a bunch of them. Who would have thought!

Cast

Daisy Edgar Jones portrays Kate, while Anthony Ramos is her friend and fellow storm hunter, Javi. 2024’s golden boy Glen Powell stars as Tyler Owens, the Twister Influencer who is looking to capture the big storm. The rest of the cast includes Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, Harry Hadden-Paton, David Corenswet, Kiernan Shipka and Paul Scheer. Possibly a floating cow or two, as well.

Release Date

Twisters will hit theaters at 150 MPH on July 19th.

Trailer

Hold onto your hats and check out the trailer below:

Paddington: good movie. Paddington 2: one of the best sequels of all-time. What does that mean for Paddington in Peru? Will it be a trilogy-capping triumph, like The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, or unable to meet impossible expectations, like The Godfather Part III?

This is probably putting too much pressure on Paddington, a nice bear who, like his Aunt Lucy, wants the world to be kind and polite. Speaking of being kind and polite, I respectfully invite you to watch the trailer for Paddington in Peru, featuring the voice of Ben Whishaw as Paddington. There are silly jokes, Paddington — who was born in Peru — and the Browns on an adventure in the Amazon Jungle (with Olivia Colman as a nun who’s seeming up to no good), and of course, marmalade sandwiches. You can watch it above.

Here’s the official plot synopsis:

PADDINGTON IN PERU brings Paddington’s story to Peru as he returns to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown Family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey through the Amazon rainforest and up to the mountain peaks of Peru.

Paddington in Peru, which also stars Hugh Bonneville, Emily Mortimer, Antonio Banderas, Julie Walters, Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, Carla Tous. and Jim Broadbent, comes out in UK cinemas on November 8 and US theaters on January 17, 2025. Oh, the Brits think they’re better than us because they get Paddington first? Methinks it’s time for another Revolutionary War…

Celine Dion revealed she had taken nearly fatal doses of Valium in order to ease the pain of Stiff Person Syndrome symptoms. Dion first revealed her diagnosis back in 2022, however, she had begin experiencing symptoms years prior. In an interview with Hoda Kotb, which aired on NBC tonight (June 11), and will be available to stream on Peacock tomorrow, Dion revealed she had begun taking small doses of Valium to deal with the symptoms — which included muscle spasms and seizures. Over time, she gradually increased the doses, as her body was becoming accustomed to the dosing.

“Ninety milligrams of Valium can kill you,” she said. “You can stop breathing. “And at one point, the thing is that my body got used to it at 20 and 30 and 40 [milligrams], until it went up. And I needed that. It was relaxing my whole body.”

She cut back on the medicine on the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, as musical performances were on hold. However, once she ceased to use of Valium, her symptoms worsened.

Dion’s condition halted plans for a comeback. But she has vowed that she will make a return to the stage, no matter what it takes.

“I’m going to go back onstage,” said Dion. “Even if I have to crawl, even if I have to talk with my hands. I will.”

Fans will get an intimate look at Dion in her upcoming documentary I Am: Celine Dion, which is set to stream on Prime Video beginning June 25.

The Los Angeles Lakers still do not have a basketball coach to replace Darvin Ham. For weeks, it looked like ESPN analyst JJ Redick was the overwhelming favorite to get the job, but over the last few days, UConn coach Dan Hurley emerged as the frontrunner, only to turn down a contract offer from the team.

Redick and Hurley’s candidacies were directly tied to reporting by Shams Charania of The Athletic and Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, respectively. Charania frequently was the most prominent national reporter saying Redick was in pole position, while Wojnarowski reported the news of Hurley’s interest in the job. The two have a long relationship — a piece in New York magazine from last year likened it to a “cold war” — and on Tuesday, Charania seemed to relish the opportunity to get one over on his old mentor.

“Then they, last week, on Wednesday, turned their attention, I’m told, to Dan Hurley,” Charania said on FanDuel TV. “And, he was not the No. 1 candidate, the No. 1 guy to go pursue from the start, from the beginning.”

This goes against some of Wojnarowski’s reporting, as he said in his original piece that “Hurley has been at the forefront of the Lakers’ search from the beginning of the process, even while the organization has done its due diligence interviewing several other candidates.” It’s worth mentioning that both Charania and Wojnarowski are in agreement that Hurley was not the only person the Lakers interviewed, and a month ago, Wojnarowski did report that the team was interested in Redick as part of its “wide-ranging and lengthy search.”

But that wasn’t Charania’s only reference to Hurley’s candidacy that came off like he was swiping at Wojnarowski. Charania appeared on Pat McAfee’s show — which, of course, is broadcast on ESPN — and straight up seemed to express some skepticism about the whole Hurley situation.

“If the Lakers wanna go hire James Borrego, they’ve had a month to hire James Borrego,” Charania said. “They’ve had this week, after losing out on Dan Hurley, I guess, they’ve had this time to go get James Borrego.”

McAfee and his crew sure were interested in Charania sliding that “I guess” in there, and I’m going to assume they weren’t the only people who were.

Getting hit by a baseball stinks. It’s not always intentional when a pitcher sends an offering to home plate but loses control and accidentally plunks an opposing batter, but when it does happen, you can always tell it doesn’t feel especially good. Intent is usually not an important part of the equation, because when you get hit by a projectile that is launched 60 feet and six inches away from you, it hurts like hell.

Blake Dunn of the Cincinnati Reds was our latest example of this on Tuesday night. While standing in the batter’s box as the tying run against indomitable Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, Dunn got hit in the head by a 101 mile per hour pitch. It did not look like it felt good in the slightest, and yet by some miracle, Dunn looked like it didn’t bug him all the match, so he made his way down to first.

Dunn did not have to leave the game after this, which is nuts, because if I got hit in the head by a pitch that was 40 miles per hour slower, I’d probably not get out of bed for a few days. Anyway, Clase was able to get TJ Friedl out with the very next pitch, and the Guardians picked up a 5-3 win over their in-state opponent.

Wu-Tang ain’t nothing to f*ck with. And Martin Shkreli learned exactly what this means. Today (June 11), New York Post reported that art collective PleasrDAO is suing Shkreli after the notorious Pharmabro allegedly made copies of Wu-Tang Clan‘s Once Upon A Time in Shaolin album.

PleasrDAO claimed that they paid $4.75 million for a one-of-a-kind album by hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, however, that Shkreli made copies and shared the music to the public violates the terms of the purchase.

Shkreli purchased Once Upon A Time In Shaolin back in 2015 for $2 million, however, was later forced to give up the album to partially satisfy a $7.4 million forfeiture order after he was convicted of defrauding hedge fund investors and scheming to defraud investors in a drugmaker back in 2017. Shkreli was sentenced to seven years in prison, but was released early, and currently remains on supervised release.

According to the report, Shkreli held a “Wu tang official listening party” via online livestream this past Sunday (June 8). PleasrDAO claims that livestreaming the album “greatly diminishes and/or destroys the album’s value” and violates the forfeiture order. The collective is asking that Shkreli destroy his copies of Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, turn over profits from disseminating the music, and pay compensatory and punitive damages.

Once Upon A Time In Shaolin was pressed in 2015, and only one physical copy of the album was made. The album cannot legally be sold commercially or uploaded to digital streaming services until 2103, per an agreement with the purchaser, however, the album can be played at listening parties.

A series of listening parties for Once Upon A Time In Shaolin will take place in Hobart, Australia at the Museum Of Old And New Art from June 15–24.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd ruffled some feathers in the lead-up to Game 2 of the NBA Finals when he said Jaylen Brown is the best player on the Boston Celtics. Over the years, there has been plenty of discourse around the hierarchy in Boston, so there were plenty of people who believed that Kidd was trying to stir up some feelings of discontent between Brown and Jayson Tatum — both players addressed Kidd’s comment and made clear they did not care.

Well, as it turns out, Kidd really does not want you to think there was anything Machiavellian going on. Kidd went onto SiriusXM NBA Radio and addressed his comments, and claimed he was simply going off of what he saw after Game 1.

“My comment about Jaylen Brown is from watching tape and watching Game 1,” Kidd said. “I thought, again, he was the best player — also, a Cal alum, so we have ties. And so, I said that. Everybody thought it was mental warfare. That’s not mental warfare, that was just my opinion. But if it was to be true, then dang, I didn’t mean to cause such a stir.”

Boston went on to win Game 2, 105-98, to take a 2-0 lead in the NBA Finals on the Mavericks. As such, I think if Kidd is lying here and he was going for mental warfare, well, it didn’t work all that well.

Billy Ray Cyrus has filed for divorce from singer Firerose, TMZ reports. According to documents obtained by the publication, the two officially separated on May 22, nearly a month ago. Cyrus reportedly a cited irreconcilable differences as well as “inappropriate marital conduct” as reasons for their divorce.

According to the report, Cyrus is also seeking annulment, claiming the marriage was obtained by fraud. This marks the end of Cyrus’ third marriage. The “Achy Breaky Heart” singer was married to Cindy Smith from 1986 until 1991 when they divorced. He later married Tish Cyrus, to whom he remained married for 3 decades and shared three kids — Miley, Noah, and Braison. The two divorced in April 2022.

Per the reported terms, Cyrus will pay Firerose $5,000 per month for her to find suitable housing in Tennessee for a period of 90 days, or until the divorce is finalized.

The news arrives seven months after Cyrus and Firerose tied the knot. Cyrus’ marriage to Firerose reportedly has caused tension between him and daughter, Miley, due to the nature of Cyrus’ and Firerose’s relationship. The two evidently met on the set of Miley and Billy Ray’s hit sitcom, Hannah Montana over a decade ago.

At the time of writing, neither Cyrus nor Firerose have commented directly on the matter. However, it appears the two have unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Oh, what it must be like to be a cat. To never suffer from imposter syndrome, to take on foes at least twice your size without hesitation, to navigate the world like you’re on every VIP list in existence. What a glorious life, indeed.

Take this concert-crashing kitty, for example. During a live orchestra performance at the 52nd annual Istanbul Music Festival, a curious feline wandered up on stage without a care in the world—and of course it was all anybody could talk about.

In a clip shared to multiple social media platforms by several news outlets, including @abcnews on TikTok, we see the gray and white cat traipse onto the stage, as if drawn in by the whimsical tune being played.

Then, it literally catwalks across the stage, unbothered from beginning to end.

Of course, as many viewers pointed out, this is an all-too-common sight in Istanbul, which, like many Muslim countries, holds a special place in its heart for felines. According to Catster, cats don’t have owners. Instead, they are taken care of by the entire community all around the city—from tea houses to ferries to public transport and beyond.

Istanbul even funds veterinary care for its stray cats, including spaying and neutering, emergency care, and a mobile Vetbus. It’s pretty much Kitty Heaven over there.

Besides commending Istanbul for its feline-friendly atmosphere, people also shared their delight for the cat who “stole the show.”

“He KNEW this was about him. HIS moment! Lol,” one person wrote.

Another added, “that’s his background music, and he’s off on a big adventure.”

Another tapped into the cat’s POV, writing, “how lovely, the humans are playing me a song.”

Some even offered their best cats puns.

“I think it was trying to find the ‘purr-cussion’ section,”one person quipped.

Another said, “That is an ARISTOCAT.”

Istanbul might go above and beyond for its cats, but the respect we have for feline audacity is strong just about everywhere in the world.

June is LGBTQ Pride Month, a time for celebration for those in the community and their allies. People celebrate the occasion with pride parades, fly the pride flag, and commemorate special events in the gay rights movement, such as the Stonewall Uprising. But so far this month, for comedian Tig Notaro, things have been “a little weird.”

She explained the funny situation she and her wife, actor Stephanie Allynne, recently dealt with on the June 6 episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

“Pride month, I’ll be honest, it’s been a little weird. My wife and I found out recently that our sons didn’t know we were gay. They will be 8 this month,” Notaro told Colbert. “Their school is six minutes away from our house, and at minute three we were in the front seat of the car talking about something about gay. Our son Finn leans forward and says, ‘You’re gay?’”

“I was so stunned because we’ve lived together almost eight years, and I’ve been gay the whole time — even prior!” Notaro joked. “So, I was like, ‘Yes! We are.’ I was so shocked.”

#TigNotaro’s sons didn’t realize their moms were gay, but they jumped on board quickly! #Colbert

The couple felt they had to address the big revelation before the kids got to school, but they didn’t have much time. “We’re like three minutes now from the school, and I start explaining what gay is,” she continued. As she explained what it meant to be gay, she felt a little awkward coming out to her sons.

“And then while I was explaining it, I started getting insecure, thinking, ‘What if he doesn’t like this?’” she worried. “So, she asked her sons to share their feelings on the sensitive issue. “What do you think about what I just told you?” Notaro asked them.

Her son Finn gave the most beautiful response.

“Oh, I love my family,” he said.

The couple were shocked that their kids had no idea what gay meant, even though their mothers were lesbians. “We drop them off at school and we’re like, ‘bye!’ and we truly drove off going like half-a-mile-an-hour, like ‘How on earth do our kids not know we’re gay?’ Because, dare I say, we’re also an iconic gay couple,” Notaro joked.

Allynne and Notaro have been married for over eight and a half years, tying the knot on October 24, 2015, in Notaro’s hometown of Pass Christian, Mississippi. It wasn’t long after that they became parents. On June 26, 2016, their sons, Max and Finn, were born by surrogate.

When the couple first met, it was challenging for Allyne, who wasn’t sure how to label her sexuality. “Everything about her felt right,” she told People. “I knew I liked her, I knew I cared about her and that sent me into an identity crisis spiral. I felt the need to label myself. Was I gay? Was I bi? Was I still straight? Was I ever straight?”

“It took me six months to realize those labels were ridiculous. Once I was able to own my true feelings it was all easy and beautiful. I now don’t believe in the labels,” she continued.

Now, things have come full circle and the couple are explaining to their kids what it means to be gay. “I realized that even though there’s pictures of our wedding day and they know they have two moms, that doesn’t mean they know what gay is,” Notaro told Colbert.
