Nicholas Brendon, the actor best known for playing Xander Harris on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has died at the age of 54. He was a familiar face to TV fans thanks to his long run on the hit supernatural drama, where he played one of Buffy’s closest friends, and was a key member of the “Scooby Gang”. His family released a statement, via The Hollywood Reporter, in which they confirmed his passing and paid tribute to the actor.
“We are heartbroken to share the passing of our brother and son, Nicholas Brendon. He passed in his sleep of natural causes. Most people know Nicky for his work as an actor and for the characters he brought to life over the years. In recent years Nicky has found his passion in painting and art. Nicky loved to share his enthusiastic talent with his family, friends and fans. He was passionate, sensitive, and endlessly driven to create. Those who truly knew him understood that his art was one of the purest reflections of who he was. While it’s no secret that Nicholas had struggles in the past, he was on medications and treatment to manage his diagnosis and he was optimistic about the future at the time of his passing. Our family asks for privacy during this time as we grieve his loss and celebrate the life of a man who lived with intensity, imagination, and heart. Thank you to everyone who has shown love and support.”
Casting (Re)Directors — The Collider TV Quiz!
When a new actor takes over an existing role, audiences can be wary. On this first day of spring, let’s look at some characters who got fresh starts.
Brendon starred as Xander Harris across all seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The series followed Buffy Summers, a teenager chosen to fight vampires and other supernatural threats, with Xander as one of the ordinary friends who stayed by her side. The main cast included Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, Alyson Hannigan as Willow Rosenberg, Anthony Head as Rupert Giles, Charisma Carpenter as Cordelia Chase, David Boreanaz as Angel, James Marsters as Spike, and Brendon as Xander.
Outside of Buffy, Brendon also appeared in Criminal Minds and on the short-lived series Kitchen Confidential with Bradley Cooper. He also starred in the cult film Psycho Beach Party alongside Lauren Ambrose and Amy Adams. In recent years, he dealt with several health issues, including a heart attack, a congenital heart defect, and cauda equina syndrome, which led to multiple spinal surgeries.
The thoughts of everyone at Collider are with the family of Nicholas Brendon.

Dakota Johnson is so chic that even something as simple as her phone case can become a covetable item. Lucky for Us, this is an accessory that is also super affordable — we managed to find the exact same one she uses, and it’s as budget-friendly as they come.
The actress was recently spotted walking through Los Angeles, rocking a relaxed post-gym look while clutching her phone. Upon closer inspection, we were able to find the cover she used to protect her device: the $15 FireNova Magnetic Silicone Phone Case, which is a favorite among Amazon shoppers as well.
Get the FireNova Magnetic Silicone Phone Case for $15 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
We love this phone case because it’s both cute and functional. Made of super durable silicone, it’s scratch-resistant, won’t crack easily and has a pleasantly smooth feel that is never slippery. There’s also a soft microfiber lining that ensures your phone stays damage-free underneath, even if you’re less than gentle with it. The design is compatible with MagSafe as well, so you can easily use it with magnetic attachments.
While Johnson’s color of choice — a deep plum shade that feels so on trend — is currently on sale, you can also choose between more than 25 other hues. The same style is available for iPhone models 13 through 17, including Pro and Pro Max sizes.
Aside from celebrity fans, the case is being hyped up by more than 26,000 five-star ratings from happy Amazon shoppers.
“I’ve ordered this case in multiple colors,” one shopper wrote. “My phone never cracks when I drop it and they don’t wear out with time.”
Plus, it even comes with some fun extras. “It came with an additional screen protector and cleaning/prep kit, stickers and a personalized note from the seller,” one reviewer noted.
For just $15, this sleek phone case is a steal. We love the minimalist look and the fact that the silicone wraps around everything, so every inch of the phone is protected. It also doesn’t make your phone feel heavier or bulkier, which is a nice bonus. If you’ve been on the hunt for a new iPhone case, this Johnson-approved pick is definitely worth trying.

“The Martian” writer breaks down the film’s final moments.
Roomies, Latto has the internet buzzing heavy right now—and not just because of her big life update. Somehow, her name is already being pulled into unexpected conversations, and let’s just say… the reactions are coming in fast. Meanwhile, Le’Veon Bell is also trending after inserting himself into the chat, leaving folks confused about where this energy even came from.
On Friday, Le’Veon Bell took to X shortly after Latto shared news of her first pregnancy and posted a message that quickly caught attention. He wrote, “Latto just announced she’s pregnant by a married man with 3 kids and made it part of her ALBUM ROLL OUT .. and that’s who today’s women look up to? we’re doomed.” While it’s not clear what prompted him to come for her like this—or where he got his claims from—social media users are definitely side-eyeing him, with many questioning both the timing and the tone of his comments.
It’s official — Latto is about to go full Big Mama! After weeks of speculation swirling online, she confirmed she’s expecting her first child on Friday, March 20. She also dropped the music video for her new single, ‘Business & Personal,’ on YouTube. And don’t sleep — she also teased that more music is on the way as part of her third album, ‘Big Mama,’ set to drop May 29.
In the video, Latto fully leans into mommy mode. She’s seen rapping in a nursery, working on a painting, decorating the space, and finally giving fans a peek at her growing baby bump as a man gently rests his hands on her stomach. His face remains a mystery, but fans are already speculating he could be her rumored partner, 21 Savage. From there, Latto embraces her Big Mama era completely, rapping lines like, “Car seat, got a kid on the way!” — proving this next chapter of her life is personal, powerful, and absolutely iconic.
Folks quickly ran to X, and the timeline lit up with reactions. Some users backed him up, saying they agreed with his take, while others argued that Latto isn’t obligated to be a role model for anyone. Meanwhile, plenty of critics dug into his past and clapped back at his own public choices, calling out the double standard.

Navigating perimenopause in the middle of Texas heat has made one thing painfully clear — sleep just doesn’t come the way it used to. Thankfully, I’ve discovered a few tricks for getting a decent night’s sleep, and the best one is a linen bed set that actually keeps me cool enough to keep dreaming all night long.
I’m a huge fan of Quince’s affordable‑luxury finds, from their cashmere sweaters to their everyday basics, but their linen bedding has become my new favorite home decor find. Whereas I was once sweating it out under layers that were either too heavy or too flimsy, this luxe duvet cover set has that oh-so-perfect softness and breathability that makes my whole bed feel like a sanctuary, not a sauna.
Get the European Linen Duvet Cover Set at Quince! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
Far from being just a comfortable addition to my home, this European linen set is also a designer’s dream. I’ve been slowly refreshing my home decor in little ways the past few months, from light fixtures to ceiling fans and more, but this bedding upgrade has made the biggest visual impact in my home. I’ve seen similar linen sets from brands like Serena & Lily, Piglet in Bed and Restoration Hardware, but Quince has that same elevated, airy look and feel without costing hundreds and hundreds more.
Woven from 100% European flax, the breathable linen set is customizable depending on color, size and whether you want to add shams. Unlike those haphazard duvets that let your comforter slide around and bunch up (the worst!), this one comes with interior ties that make it easy to keep everything in place — even if you toss and turn all night, like me. It stays put, breathable and cool, which is more than I can say for most bedding I’ve tried in the Texas heat.
I’m partial to Quince’s gorgeous gingham bedding — especially the lavender — but the set also comes in solid shades like dusty mauve and oat, plus newly debuted on‑trend hues like butter yellow and rose. For the ultimate experience, you can even add their viral European linen sheets to your rotation.
Much like in my own household, this top‑selling bedding set has become a staple in many happy homes, with shoppers calling it ‘perfect for summer,’ ‘so soft,’ and ‘absolutely stunning.
“The quality is immediately noticeable—the linen feels soft, breathable, and has that perfect relaxed texture that makes the whole bed look effortlessly elevated,” one reviewer raved. “What really stood out to me is how comfortable it is. It keeps me cool at night without feeling too light, and it somehow gets even softer with each wash.”
Whether you’re desperate for a nighttime cool‑down or just craving that effortless-but-affordable designer look, this breathable, beautiful linen set delivers both — no major renovation required. Shop the duvet set now while your favorite color or print is still in stock.

Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania’s daughter, Gabby Catania, and her boyfriend, Mike Tallia, are officially engaged.
Taking to her Instagram on Friday, March 20, Dolores confirmed daughter’s happy news by sharing a photo of the romantic proposal.
The carousel of photos showed Tallia getting down on one knee to present a ring to Gabby during a snowboarding vacation in Aspen.
“When your children are little, you think about so many things for their future. I never imagined both of my kids would be engaged at the same time,” Dolores captioned the post, adding, “Congratulations to my @gcatans & @mike_tallia!!! 💍🤍”
Dolores, 55, shares Gabby, 30, and her brother, Frankie, 27, with ex-husband Frank Catania, whom she was married to from 1994 to 1998.
Gabby is the latest member of the family to get engaged. Frankie previously proposed to his girlfriend, Nicole Perricho, in February 2025.
“Can’t find the words to depict how much joy we are all feeling since yesterday,” Dolores captioned Instagram photos of the proposal at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. “My little Frankie, with a heart full of love and a lifetime of memories ahead of him, proposed to his amazing girlfriend, Nicole, and we couldn’t be happier!!”
“Thank you to everyone that helped and made this day absolute perfection,” she added. “Here’s to forever, Frankie and Nicole!”

Dolores also revealed that she was hiding out in plain sight ahead of the proposal.
“Me incognito waiting for the proposal,” she wrote via her Instagram Story, sharing a video of herself outside the church wearing oversized sunglasses and a face mask.
Frankie, for his part, gushed via Instagram at the time: “An absolutely amazing day celebrating such a special engagement! Thank you so much to everyone for the congratulations and warm wishes!”
Less than nine months later, Dolores announced her own engagement to boyfriend Paulie Connell in November 2025 after nearly five years of dating.
“I’m ecstatic!” she told People at the time. “You know when you feel that happiness down in your gut? That’s where this excitement stems from for me. I feel so blessed, I almost feel guilty! Like I don’t deserve to be loved this way.”
Paulie chimed in to assure Dolores deserves “so much more” than she thinks.
“She’s an incredible woman,” he continued. “And when I was proposing to her, I was able to articulate to her everything I see that she is and everything I see that she does and the impact she has on everybody around her. She’s one in a million.”
Paulie popped the question at the New Jersey Apple Store where the pair first met.
“I didn’t want anything over-the-top and staged because we’re a humble couple,” he explained. “I wanted it to feel grounded and natural and organic. Plus, I wanted the element of surprise. And believe me, I had the element of surprise.”
Dolores confirmed she “had not a clue” Paulie planned to get down on one knee.
“In fact, I thought I was going to have to call an ambulance for him!” she joked. “He was sweating so bad, his T-shirt was soaked, his face was beet red. And you know how people say weird things when they’re having a stroke? He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere, and I was like, ‘Paul, are you OK?’”
Life just got a little rowdier for The Righteous Gemstones and DMV star Tony Cavalero and wife Annie Cavalero after welcoming their first baby.
Us Weekly can exclusively reveal that the couple’s first child arrived earlier this month.
“Actor Tony and jewelry designer wife Annie Cavalero are overjoyed to announce the birth of their first child, a son, Rowdy Baria Cavalero, born on March 11, 2026, at 9:39 p.m.,” a rep for the new parents told Us in an exclusive statement on Friday, March 20.
Rowdy weighed 8.4 pounds and measured 20 inches long.
Tony, 42, and Annie, 40 — who met while performing at The Groundlings in Los Angeles — welcomed their son “after a deeply personal journey spanning nearly a decade, including nine rounds of IVF.”

“Following a brief but brave stay in the NICU, he is now home in his parents’ arms already living up to his strong and spirited name,” Tony and Annie confirmed to Us, adding, “In a full-circle moment, Tony and Annie manifested his name, Rowdy Bear, eleven years ago at their wedding.”
When Tony and Annie tied the knot in 2015, they posed in a photo booth photo with a large sign that read, “Rowdy,” foreshadowing their choice for their baby boy’s moniker.
Both Tony and Annie are comedic actors, with Annie also working as a jewelry designer and comedy writer.

Tony, meanwhile, is best known for playing Keefe Chambers on The Righteous Gemstones from 2019 to 2025. He has been playing Vic on DMV since last year.
In August 2025, the couple celebrated their 10-year anniversary with Tony sharing a video montage of their life together via Instagram.
“💛10 years my love 💖Let’s keep being silly little geese and do 100 more and beyond! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY @anniecavalero 🫶 Honestly the luckiest man in the world!,” he captioned the video.
That same year, Tony and Annie took fans inside their Hollywood Hills home in Los Angeles for House Beautiful.

“We wanted to restore it to its Hollywood Regency glory as best we could, while incorporating our own personal touches and tastes,” Annie told the outlet of their six-bedroom, five-bathroom pad, which features bold wallpaper and bright colors.
Tony gushed, “Annie’s everywhere in the house,” from the crystals her grandfather found to her late uncle’s chandelier hanging in the hallway.

While the pair were open about their home, they chose to keep their pregnancy journey private. Shortly after welcoming their son, Tony took to social media to celebrate his wife on her birthday.
“Happiest Birthday to MY ABSOLUTE WARRIOR QUEEN 👸🏼 @anniecavalero,” the Big City Greens alum wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, March 17. “🫶 you are my whole heart and a gift 💝 to us all!”
Free streaming windows rarely stay open for long on ad-supported platforms, and one of the “catch it while you can” thriller films, a gritty, Australia-set crime thriller headlined by Star Wars icon Ewan McGregor that’s currently sitting on Tubi, is set to leave the platform soon.
The film’s placement in the leaving carousel on Tubi soon indicates that the title will rotate out at the end of the month, making this a short, practical watch window for anyone who likes tight prison-to-heist thrillers and wants a McGregor performance that isn’t filtered through Jedi iconography. What makes the film worth the last-chance urgency is the specific mix: it starts as a prison survival story (JR, a teen offender, trying to stay alive and relevant), then pivots into a mentorship trap as McGregor’s criminal protector demands repayment. It’s a familiar genre chassis, but the execution is sharper than its forgotten status suggests. Rotten Tomatoes has it at 63% from critics and 62% from audiences, with consensus praise for its grittiness, style, and as a strong change of pace for McGregor.
The movie is 2014’s Son of a Gun, and the irony is that it’s far more of a hidden gem than its cast deserves. The film reportedly cost about $12 million yet only grossed around $660K, which explains why many people never even heard of it the first time. That commercial whiff is exactly why a free Tubi run matters.
Lights, Camera, Retraction — The Collider Movie Quiz!
Sometimes actors quit; other times they’re fired. On this first day of spring, we’re recalling some famous roles that got a fresh start with a recast.
Son of a Gun isn’t a traditional heist film because the score is never the point; it’s leverage. The movie is structured like a corruption story disguised as a crime thriller. JR doesn’t join a crew to chase money; he gets pulled into a criminal ecosystem where every favor is a hook, and every plan is a test of obedience.
Even when the narrative shifts to break-ins and robberies, the camera treats the action as a consequence of a relationship, mentor/protégé, captor/captive, rather than a puzzle to be solved. Where a classic heist sells competence and control, Son of a Gun sells instability, paranoia, and the slow realization that the real threat is the man offering protection.
Son of a Gun is set to leave Tubi soon. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Netflix has revealed that season 3 will be the show’s last.
blue bloods usweekly‘s Marcus Scribner explained why he wasn’t necessarily satisfied with the season 1 finale.
“I don’t want to say if it’s satisfying or a cliffhanger — but I was not satisfied because I want more,” Scribner, 26, quipped while speaking exclusively to Us Weekly. “I won’t say why, but it was a very interesting ending.”
Scribner noted the audience will learn “more about” his character, Jonah, before the season comes to an end, adding, “We get some cool pairings, which is really dope. We switch things up a little bit and [have] some fun guest stars as well, which I know a lot of people are excited for.”
Despite the need for more, Scribner called the upcoming finale a “great” ending. “It just left me wanting more,” he concluded.
Before Boston Blue, Blue Bloods followed the lives of the Reagan family, many of whom work for the NYPD under the leadership of NYC police commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). Frank’s father, Henry Reagan (Len Cariou), was also central to the show, alongside Frank’s children: daughter Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) and sons Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes).
The show aired from 2010 to 2024 before CBS announced a spinoff. Wahlberg’s character is at the center of the spinoff, which picks up as the former NYPD officer takes on a position with the Boston Police Department. He is then paired with detective Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.

“I hadn’t watched Blue Bloods prior to joining Boston Blue, but I heard a ton about it from my relatives. It’s been a cultural phenomenon for years and years. I — of course — had heard of the show, and then I started to dive into it,” Scribner told Us. “Then getting to know Donnie even further — and seeing how different he is from Danny Reagan — is crazy.”
He continued: “Taking some of those characteristics from Danny Reagan, I was trying to infuse them into my character, Jonah Silver, who is a bit of a hothead like Danny. He goes against the grain to do what he thinks is morally right, which has been very exciting.”
Joining the Blue Bloods universe — and introducing the Silver family — has allowed Scribner to push himself as an actor.
“It’s been very, very interesting. I recently rediscovered myself as an actor. I feel like for a while I was trying to push myself to the side and do something different,” he told Us. “But it’s been very fun to ground myself in this universe.”
Scribner praised his Boston Blue costars for inspiring him, sharing, “Acting is so weird because it really is so much receiving. So being on the show and being around these amazing actors is so nice because you barely have to do any work. I’m just listening to them, and it really builds this feeling in you and you just get to respond.”
He concluded: “It’s a lot of fun. It’s definitely been challenging and cool getting to do a lot of physical stunts and all those things. I was involved in a car chase recently — an explosion — and all this crazy stuff. So it’s been really cool.”
Boston Blue airs on CBS Fridays at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.
Latto’s pregnancy announcement has taken over the internet, and while fans are staying busy hunting for clues, they peeped something that many didn’t see coming. It looks like Keyanna Joseph — the alleged mother of 21 Savage’s oldest kids has seemingly reacted to the rapper’s baby news, and now fans are wondering what that simple heart really means.
Roommates, if y’all have been keeping up, then you already know the internet was working overtime trying to prove Latto stepped into her Big Mama status with one kid! Folks went just as hard on that rumor as they do trying to keep their credit scores up. At first, the Atlanta raptress made a quick return to social media after being off the grid for a minute. On Thursday, March 19, she dropped a short visual showing just her shoes and feeding a baby cheetah. While folks tried to figure out if she teased new music or a baby announcement, it turned out to be BOTH!
Now, hours after Latto’s bombshell reveal, fans peeped something else. They spotted Keyanna Joseph, the mother of 21 Savage’s two eldest kids, liking Latto’s teaser clip. Now everybody is wondering… was that a cosign, or was she just confirming Latto and 21’s relationship?
Latto hasn’t officially confirmed that 21 Savage is the father of her child, but fans think she dropped clues all through her ‘Business & Personal’ video. A mystery man with tattoos similar to Savage’s pops up in the visuals, and folks swear they spotted his baby pics in the scrapbook Latto was putting together. The ‘Georgia Peach’ femcee might be stepping into her Big Mama era, but 21 already holds it down as a dad of three. According to PEOPLE, he reportedly shares two kids with Keyanna Joseph — his firstborn, Kamari, and his second child, Ashaad. He also has a daughter named Rhian. The ‘Bank Account’ rapper keeps his life with his kids private, but he’s made it clear he “always wanted to be a father” and “feels like that’s where your legacy really counts.”
Hours after the raptress broke the internet with her pregnancy reveal, she dropped a heartfelt message on Instagram, sharing more photos of her baby bump and thanking her family and loved ones for their support as she navigates her journey to motherhood.
Before that, fans got a closer look at her baby bump when she hopped on a livestream just minutes after her ‘Business & Personal’ single dropped. She told fans she already shed tears and made it clear she’s a cool, hustling mom, because she’s gearing up to drop her album on May 29.
“Thank y’all! I already cried. She continued, “I ain’t doing no more crying, I’m a gangster. I’m a mother first and I’m a gangster right after.”
