Tom Cruise bungee jumping into a volcano, or whatever, is the star of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, but one of the essential elements to the franchise’s success is the supporting cast. Ving Rhames has been there since the beginning, while Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, and Vanessa Kirby are recurring fan favorites. Dead Reckoning Part One will add new members to the team, including Hayley Atwell as… someone!
“Hayley’s character didn’t have a name for a long, long time,” he told Empire. “She has her own objective, and she more or less becomes ensnared in this movie. What you have here is a character who absolutely does not belong in a Mission: Impossible movie, and she’s doing everything she can to get out of it.” Eventually, she was given a name, Grace, and advice from Cruise.
[Atwell] was also working alongside Tom Cruise, whose stunt chops are several leagues beyond what you might call an A-game. Providing startling insight into the Cruiser’s mindset, Atwell reveals that, “Tom would often say, ‘Don’t be safe, be competent.’ That was a great mantra for me.”
If “don’t be safe, be competent” isn’t tattooed somewhere on Cruise’s body, it’s definitely written on his bathroom mirror.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One opens on July 12th.
Almost everyone has done something they might regret while under the influence of some sort of substance, and oftentimes it involves a frivolous purchase. Maybe after a little too much wine, you decided you really need to own an overpriced artisanal candle because that’s what Gwyneth Paltrow told you to do and you wouldn’t dare question it. Or maybe you took too much allergy medicine and ended up with a whole new wardrobe for your 20-year-old Build-A-Bear. It happens, and you should not feel ashamed.
But when you’re a celebrity or a person with disposable income, those impulse purchases might become so large that you need to research local maritime regulations, like, say, buying a decommissioned ferry boat, which is exactly what Pete Davidson and Colin Jost did last year.
While the gesture seemed cool (it’s a giant boat, for crying out loud) Davidson admitted that he and Jost were a little out of their minds when deciding to go through with it. “Me and Colin were very stoned a year ago and bought a ferry,” Davidson told Entertainment Tonight. So what’s the deal with the boat at the moment? Quite literally nothing, thanks to the long list of horrifying issues, including a rat infestation and asbestos. Bet that overpriced candle is looking pretty good right about now.
“I have no idea what’s going on with that thing,” Davidson added, saying that the duo is still “figuring it out.” The two had hoped to turn the ferry into a comedy club, but that idea seems dead in the water at the moment.
Meanwhile, Davidson has been out promoting a different form of transportation. He has a small part in the latest Transformers movie which hits theaters this weekend. He joked, “Hopefully [the ferry] turns into a Transformer and gets the f**k out of there so I can stop paying for it,” he added. Maybe that Transformers check will go directly into the ferry fund.

The cat is out of the bag: Taylor Swift’s Speak Now vault will be unlocked next month. The singer shared on social media that the “Taylor Version” of the album slated release date is July 7. With this rerecording, the project will feature never before heard songs. One of those tracks includes “Castles Crumbling” with special guest Hayley Williams.
Swift’s social media post broke the news of collaborating with her longtime friend and others. In return, Williams follow-up the announcement with a heartfelt message to the singer.
“Taylor was the first industry friend I ever made and hung out with outside of work things,” Williams wrote. “When Speak Now dropped, I bought my friend’s record (as you do!) and listened to the whole thing in my first car, sitting still in the driveway. It’s my favorite Taylor Swift album for so many reasons.”
Williams closed the post by saying, “I wish I could go back to this moment at my 21st birthday and tell her one day she’ll legitimately own Speak Now, and we’ll get to sing together on one of the songs.”
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is out 7/7 via Republic. Find more information here.

Coi Leray has plenty to be proud of. In addition to having a new album, Coi, on the way, she’s been dominating pop culture, from features on songs like RAYE’S “Flip A Switch” to TV spots with the WNBA. She’s also had a string of viral hits like “No More Parties” and “Players,” with her latest single, “Bops,” looking like another addition to that growing list.
In the new video for “Bops” released today, Coi puts those accomplishments — and some of her other assets — on display, twerking in front of her RIAA plaques and Billboard Awards in a thong (in what appears to be her bathroom) while hosting what appears to be a fun little night in with friends. Those friends also dance throughout the video while standing on her couch (moms everywhere are furious), sharing a birthday cake, and shooting at each other with Nerf guns. The simple concept perfectly suits the similarly stripped-down production on the song, which relies heavily on cowbells and a straightforward synth lead.
In addition to “Bops” and “My Body,” Coi‘s other single, the album will include “Make My Day” with a contribution from David Guetta, “Spend It” featuring Saucy Santana, and “Man’s World,” which credits James Brown as a feature. The album drops on Uptown/Republic on 6/23.

There’s no disputing the appeal of the classic, hoppy, piney, sometimes fairly bitter (even aggressively so) West Coast IPA. It’s a favorite of beer drinkers all over the US. From its epicenter in San Diego, all the way north to Seattle — the left coast has been producing amazing IPAs for decades. But that’s not the only place where IPAs are made. There are plenty of great IPAs coming out of the South, Midwest, and of course the East Coast.
While there’s some dispute as to whether or not “East Coast IPA” is a style like its westerly counterpart, we won’t get into that here. We’re simply going to talk about some of the best IPAs produced on the East Coast. Classic pine bombs, juicy New England-style IPAs, and everything in between. Truly, the East Coast has every IPA palate covered.
To find some of the best, we once again went to the professionals for help. We asked some well-known brewers and craft beer experts to tell us the best IPAs available from East Coast brewers. If you’ve wanted to branch out from your favorite West Coast IPAs, now’s your chance. Keep scrolling to see some of the best beers from New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, and even Tennessee.
Austin Street Brewery’s Offset. This is a banger clocking in at 9% ABV, but surprisingly smooth. Maine (and New England in general) has ton of breweries crafting great IPAs. Austin Street should be on your radar.
Tasting Notes:
It has a mixed fruit flavor medley and a full mouthfeel. It’s a great beer and one that you should definitely seek out. Stock up for the summer months. You’ll be glad you did.
Bissell Brothers The Substance
Bissell Brothers
Tom Muscolino, director of beverage innovation at Landmark Hospitality in Plainfield, New Jersey
Bissell Brothers The Substance, from Portland, Maine. It’s a beautifully complex beer. Brewed with Falconer’s Flight, Centennial, Chinook, Apollo, and Simcoe hops, Bissell Brothers are well-known for its hazy, New England-style IPAs and this is one of the best.
Tasting Notes:
Plenty of tropical notes rounded off by a mild bitterness, with a creamy body and a long, delicious finish.
I’m always a proponent of exploring small, craft breweries – great beer is all about buying local. With that being said, Five Wits Sunblaze IPA is a great beer local to Chattanooga and perfect for summertime.
Tasting Notes:
This wildly well-balanced IPA is known for its mix of hop bitterness and citrus, tropical fruits, and lightly malty backbone. All in all, a great example of an East Coast IPA that deserves more attention.
Third Space Juice Fix
Third Space
Garth E. Beyer, certified Cicerone® and owner and founder of Garth’s Brew Bar in Madison, Wisconsin
Third Space Juice Fix offers you the flavors of a citrus and pineapple mashup while keeping low on the IBU spectrum and lower still on the ABV spectrum. To me, an East Coast IPA is a toddler version of a NEIPA.
Tasting Notes:
You want some haze. Lots of juice. But light on the palate. This beer checks every box you want out of an East Coast IPA.
Dogfish Head 60 Minute
Dogfish Head
Charlotte Herndon, taproom and events manager at Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing in Framingham, Massachusetts
Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA is not necessarily the greatest East Coast IPA ever made. I would say there are probably several more that make the list higher in terms of quality and profile. However, beer is at least 75% an experience, and it is the first East Coast style I ever experienced. Larger brands often are the gateways into our more niche interests, and I do appreciate some of these forerunners for carving out a space in the market for people like me to initially gain interest. As someone fully immersed in the industry now, I still have a soft spot for some of these big-name beers.
Tasting Notes:
This classic IPA is known for its bright hop aroma and flavor as well as tangerine, lemon, tropical fruit, and pine needle-forward flavor profile.
East Coast IPA: Dogs + Boats by Beer’d Brewing. Great balance for the style and keeps drinkability front and center. It’s a double IPA with a nice malty backbone and Citra and Mosaic Hops.
Tasting Notes:
Pale malts, pineapple, stone fruits, citrus rinds, and nice, floral hops make for a great imperial IPA. It’s the kind of beer you’ll want to sip on a cool summer evening.
I have recently discovered a brewery in Vermont called Frost Beer Works. They are putting out some impressive east coast IPA’s. Color, haze, aromas and flavor combinations that are enjoyable from start to finish. They are very focused on their process which is reflected in their beers. Their Plush is an amazing beer.
Tasting Notes:
It’s a double dry-hopped, juicy, hazy IPA perfect for the warmer months. It’s highlighted by notes of ripe berries, pineapple, citrus peels, and other fruity, tropical flavors.
Dover, New Hampshire might not be the first place you think about when you are searching for beer but they have a secret weapon – Garrison City Beerworks. At Garrison City, ask for their Incendiary Arrows New England IPA.
Tasting Notes:
It’s a delicate blend of fresh habaneros and pink guava paired with classic Citra and modern BRU-1 hop additions. Truly an experience.
Lawson’s Finest Sip Of Sunshine. I simply can’t get enough of the beer. It’s hazy, but not chunky. Simply brewed from one malt and one hop variety, it’s all about the brewer’s skill. Just writing and thinking about it is likely going to send me to the store for a four-pack.
Tasting Notes:
It drinks easy but it’s not dumbed down. There’s a massive hop aroma and flavor. It’s juicy, hazy, and filled with tropical fruit and citrus flavors. A can’t-miss East Coast IPA.
Trillium Dialed-In Pinot Gris
Trillium
Frederic Yarm, USBG bartender in Boston
ABV: 8.5%
Average Price: Limited Availability
The Beer:
My pick is Trillium Dialed-In Pinot Gris. Trillium’s Dialed-In series incorporates grape must into the ferment.
Tasting Notes:
The Pinot Gris version has the hops’ orange, pine, pineapple, and peach complementing the vinous undertones from the grapes.

After a long-ass wait (due to a certain global situation, no doubt), A Quiet Place writers finally saw their Stephen King short-story adaptation arrive in theaters this month. The Boogeyman‘s cast includes Yellowjackets‘ Sophie Thatcher along with David Dastmalchian and Chris Messina, and the atmospheric film might be the ideal counter programming amid the glut of superhero yarns.
That’s the case despite how phenomenal as a certain Spidey sequel turned out to be and how much King has thrown his weight behind the upcoming The Flash.
The Boogeyman revolves around a pair of sisters who begin to experience dreadful home intrusions (or possibly “manifestations”) following the death of their mother, which results in a conveniently distracted father figure. The fear of monsters crawling under beds, of course, is embedded throughout our collective consciousness, which means that you might not be able to sleep too well after watching this flick, but that’s part of the fun.
If you’re in the mood to get spooked, you might want to know whether you’ll also be justifiably looking over your shoulder while getting into bed at night. So, is The Boogeyman based upon a true story? Nope.
The film does, however, draw upon the everlasting Boogeyman/Bogeyman folklore that has persisted around the globe for centuries. The spoken-word nature of this nearly universal, closet-dwelling monster further reinforces it throughout generations, ensuring that even if it isn’t real, it sure has felt like it to many of us at times. In other words, be prepared to prop up a chair against the closet door if you watch The Boogeyman in theaters.
