Rebecca Ferguson is having a busy 2026, and she isn’t close to slowing down yet. Already, the Stockholm-born actress has starred Chris Pratt in the divisive AI-based sci-fi thriller Mercy, featured in a long-awaited adaptation of the 1939 children’s novel The Magic Faraway Tree, and joined a star-studded ensemble in the feature-length next chapter in one of the best crime dramas of the century in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

Later in the year, Ferguson’s biggest project of 2026 will debut, as she joins an eye-catching cast in Dune: Part Three. The final chapter in Denis Villeneuve‘s impressive adaptation of Frank Herbert‘s Dune novels comes to an explosive end in theaters worldwide on December 18, with Ferguson starring alongside the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Javier Bardem, Anya Taylor-Joy, and more. Ahead of Dune: Part Three, the good news for Ferguson fans kept coming earlier this week, as the upcoming third season of her smash hit sci-fi series Silo just got a major update.

It was officially confirmed by Apple TV that their fan-favorite sci-fi series would return for its third installment on Friday, July 3, 2026. One new episode will then arrive every Friday through September 4, as the Emmy Award-winning Graham Yost‘s next gripping mystery unfolds. Following this big news, fans have been flocking back to the show to remind themselves of the many twists and turns that have come already. At the time of writing, Silo is one of the ten most-streamed shows on Apple TV in the U.S. The show also appears in tenth place on the global top ten.

Was ‘Silo’ Season 2 Good?

Based on Hugh Howey‘s dystopian novel trilogy (Wool, Shift, and Dust), Yost, Ferguson, and co have taken a particularly nuanced and difficult source material and crafted a series that doesn’t disappoint. In Season 2, the show continued an impressive run of top-tier episodes, with critics gushing with praise over this modern sci-fi gem. Collider’s Tania Hussain awarded Season 2 a strong 8/10, praising the show’s “uniquely immersive environment” and standout performances, adding, “By grounding its Orwellian elements into tense yet relatable human struggles with razor-sharp writing, Silo continues to surpass the genre, asking viewers to question not only the motives of those in power but the strength of their convictions.”

Silo Seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now on Apple TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

Born in the late 1990s, I’ve spent my entire life hearing the name “Tonya Harding” used as a punchline. I never had much awareness of who she was, but based on some old Simpsons jokes and a few misplaced rap lyrics, I always thought she was a skater who busted her opponent’s kneecaps on the ice in a fit of passion, right in front of a packed crowd. That is, until last week, when I finally sat down to watch Craig Gillespie’s 2017 biopic I, Tonya.

For the uninitiated, I, Tonya tells the true story of Tonya Harding (Margot Robbie), with a little bit of creative license for story purposes. The film takes the viewer from Tonya’s years as a child figure skating prodigy, through her relationship with her abusive mother (Allison Janney) and later her abusive boyfriend (Sebastian Stan), and eventually to her Olympic skating dreams. Through it all, we see how Tonya was mistreated by those closest to her and by the Olympic committee, which viewed her as too unmarketable to home audiences.

Over several years, the budding athlete is forced to change everything about herself to get ahead. She marries her abusive boyfriend just so she can present a more family-forward image, she changes her accent so she won’t be perceived as ‘white trash’, and she adjusts her management team to be as cutthroat and unforgiving as possible.

Tonya even managed to become the first female figure skater to complete two triple Axel jumps in a competition. I don’t know much about skating, but it looked pretty impressive in the movie, as I watched from the comfort of my couch, covered in popcorn kernels.

Once she qualifies for the 1994 Olympics, the narrative kicks into slightly familiar territory. We learn that Tonya, along with many of her peers, routinely receives death threats before going out on the ice. When her husband, Jeff, suspects that the threats are coming from Tonya’s friend, Nancy Kerrigan, he suggests sending a few threats of their own, just to rattle her performance. Jeff outsources the job to his eccentric buddy Shawn (Paul Walter Hauser), who outsources it to someone else, and by the time this game of telephone reaches Nancy, the job ceases to be a threat and becomes a violent attack.

If you believe Tonya Harding’s account of the events (and thus the movie’s telling of how it all went down), she had no idea any of this was happening. The way she relays it, Tonya thought someone was dropping a letter in Nancy’s mailbox. Instead, Nancy was beaten with a baton, leaving her unable to compete in a national competition, which, ironically, fast-tracked her to the Olympic team.

Kerrigan ultimately took home the silver medal for her performance at the 1994 Olympics, while an emotionally rattled Tonya placed eighth. Upon returning home, Harding is barred from competing in any competitive figure skating event for the rest of her life.

Since she has structured her entire existence around the sport, Tonya sees this as a death sentence and begs for jail time, to no avail. Truthfully, I had no idea that an organization could even make a ruling like that in the first place.

Before I watched I, Tonya, I had only ever heard this woman’s name alongside those of O.J. Simpson, Aaron Hernandez, and Oscar Pistorius. It goes to show just how strong the media narrative was at the time that she could be banned from her livelihood and turned into a punchline for decades to come.

The film does an impeccable job of humanizing Tonya and making her more sympathetic, as long as you believe her account of what happened. Even if you don’t believe her, it’s still a hell of a story, and one I’m glad I finally got around to checking out.

If you’re interested in watching I, Tonya, the film is currently streaming for free on Tubi.

A 56-year-old man from Shreveport was arrested and charged in connection with the mass shooting carried out by Shamar Elkins. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Louisiana, Charles Ford previously owned the assault-style gun Elkins used to shoot his wife, Shaneiqua Pugh, and his alleged girlfriend, Christina Snow on Sunday. Both women remain in the hospital. Ultimately, Shamar killed his seven children and Pugh’s nephew and later died amid a police pursuit.

Man Charged Claims Shamar Elkins Stole The Gun From Him

Charles Ford told investigators he suspected Shamar Elkins stole the gun from his truck in the weeks leading up to the mass shooting. According to a criminal complaint filed in federal court, Ford suspected Elkins because he was one of the few people to ride with him. Ford allegedly said it was around March 9 when he noticed the gun was missing.

In response, Ford said he confronted Elkins about the missing weapon. But when Elikns became “offensive,” Ford “let it go,” according to a court affidavit filed Tuesday.

“According to allegations set forth in court documents, ATF and the Shreveport Police Department began investigating a firearms trace on the rifle below, which Elkins used to perpetrate his mass shooting,” per the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Louisiana.

Why Did Officials Charge Charles Ford After Louisiana Mass Shooting? 

Charles Ford is a felon who was in possession of a firearm and made a false statement to federal agents, says the affidavit. Ford originally denied having the gun when investigators first approached him after the shooting on Sunday, per court records.

“When law enforcement interviewed the original purchaser, that person identified Ford as the person to whom she’d given it. Ford, a convicted felon not permitted to possess firearms, initially lied to ATF agents about possessing the firearm, claiming he never did. Ford later admitted that he did possess the firearm, claiming that he kept the firearm under his seat,” per the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Louisiana.

Ford does not currently have an appointed legal representative. According to federal court records, he will likely receive a federal public defender.

“Shamar Elkins’ death means that our community will never see him face justice,” U.S. Attorney Zachary A. Keller said in a statement. “Our hope, as we continue to investigate and prosecute this case alongside our law enforcement partners, is that holding the person whose gun Elkins used to perpetrate the crime accountable will give some small bit of solace to our Shreveport community.”

What Happened To Shamar Elkins After The Family Shooting? 

Shamar Elkins died after fleeing the second crime scene — reportedly his wife’s home — and a police pursuit. It was not clear whether officers killed him or whether he died from a self-inflicted gunshot, according to police. The third crime scene involved a carjacking in the same neighborhood.

Elkins’ wife, Shaneiqua Pugh, and Christina Snow, a woman believed to be his girlfriend, were also shot and wounded in the rampage. The attack unfolded across two houses before dawn.

Three boys, Christina’s sons and Shaneiqua’s nephew, passed away. Additionally, Pugh’s four daughters also passed. Elkins was the father of seven out of eight who died. Snow reportedly called the police to report that Elkins had shot her and kidnapped their three children. According to NBC News, he took the kids to his wife’s home about two streets over and killed them, along with their four sisters. One child was reportedly found deceased on the home’s roof, while others had tried to escape through the back door. Some died in their sleep, and most suffered headshot wounds. The children ranged in age from 3 to 11 years old.

Elkins plead guilty in 2019 to a felony of illegal use of weapons, according to court documents. As a result, a Caddo Parish district judge sentenced Elkins to 18 months of supervised probation. Also, Elkins turned his handgun into police as a condition of probation, court filings show.

Under Louisiana law, a person convicted of certain violent felonies – including illegal use of weapons – is banned from having a gun for at least 10 years after completing their sentence and probation. Officials have not addressed whether Elkins was legally prohibited from having a weapon.

Star Trek: Voyager had plenty of special effects, but arguably none were more impressive than when the ship landed on a planet in the Season 2 premiere episode “The Thirty-Sevens.” This was a first for the franchise, bringing to life one of Gene Roddenberry’s ideas that he had previously considered too expensive to show onscreen. However, this effect was almost a disappointment thanks to behind-the-scenes production issues, including improperly designed landing struts and a CGI model that was just too small.

This particular Voyager special effect was one the team had been dreaming of for a long time. Franchise graphic designer Michael Okuda previously recommended to exec producer Rick Berman that their ship should be able to land as a way to distinguish it from what came before.

Accordingly, Rick Sternbach had developed several possible ship designs with landing capability, and he ensured that the finished design featured small hatches on the bottom hull to house landing equipment. It was only after designing those struts, however, that producers realized that the ship’s “legs” looked far too thin to support its body.

The shot of Voyager landing on a planet in “The 37’s” was meant to be a big, show-stopping special effect, and producers were understandably concerned that viewers would be disappointed if it looked like the ship always skipped leg day. In the grand tradition of television, they decided to fix this problem in post-production.

They fixed it by placing rock outcroppings and other ground features strategically around Voyager as it landed. Go back and watch the episode, and you’ll see how they effectively obscured audiences’ view of those teeny landing struts.

However, that wasn’t the only problem with Voyager’s fancy special effect. The show’s digital artists had accidentally made the CGI model of the ship too tiny. This annoyed visual effects supervisor Ronald B. Moore (not to be confused with Trek writer and Battlestar Galactica reboot showrunner Ronald D. Moore), who was disappointed by the landing effect because “the scale of the Voyager on the ground was incorrect.” However, he didn’t feel that audiences would necessarily notice “because there’s nothing really to relate it to; the people are in the foreground, the ship’s in the background, and we kinda kept it that way.”

For longtime Star Trek fans, this Voyager moment was more than just another special effect; it was also the realization of a decades-old dream that began with Gene Roddenberry. The franchise creator had originally dreamed of having the Enterprise regularly land on planets in The Original Series, but he soon realized just how expensive it would be to have the ship land somewhere new each week. This is how the transporter was born, as it allowed Captain Kirk and his erstwhile crew to quickly visit somewhere new and then head back to the ship via a much cheaper “beam me up” special effect.

Voyager’s producers came to the same conclusion that Roddenberry did, which is why the show mostly stuck to the transporter special effect rather than constantly having the ship land. Nonetheless, it landed several more times after “The Thirty-Sevens,” and producers had a much easier time bringing this ambitious effect to life on their subsequent attempts.

They did so despite the ship’s CGI model being too small, which arguably proves that size really doesn’t matter in the 24th century. We wouldn’t recommend telling that to Captain Janeway about her morning coffee cup sizes, though, unless you want her to kill you quicker than she killed Tuvix!

Tina Knowles is at the center of unexpected online chatter after leaving what some fans are calling a “too personal” comment on a recent post by her daughter, Solange Knowles.

The remark quickly picked up traction across social media, with users dissecting its tone and some suggesting it hinted at favoritism toward Beyoncé. Others argued it was simply a mother making sure Solange didn’t feel overlooked.

The viral moment has also revived Tina’s past reflections on raising her daughters. The Knowles family matriarch placed them in therapy as children after noticing a strain in their bond, under the weight of Beyoncé’s early fame.

Tina is giving full-on “embarrassing mom” energy after dropping a deeply personal comment under Solange’s latest Instagram post.

The “Don’t Touch My Hair” singer had shared a series of striking images centered around her hair, including shots where it appeared partially shaved, alongside others showing it styled into sculpted sections with visible markings.

But it was Tina’s response that stole the spotlight.

“You look like an Egyptian goddess. Which is appropriate because you were conceived on a boat going down the Egyptian Nile. Only you could shave your hair, let it grow out some and, cut this incredible shape, and do it all and look as gorgeous as ever,” she wrote, finishing off the message with fire and heart emojis.

The comment didn’t stay under the radar for long, with many social media users pointing out just how personal Tina got.

Some read it as harmless “mom energy,” but others suggested the moment hinted at a deeper dynamic between Solange and Beyoncé.

“Ms. Tina just didn’t want Solange to feel overshadowed by Beyoncé, so she’s always been very intentional & open about going the extra mile to make sure she feels seen. That’s why she so extra when it comes to her, she explained this a few times,” one X user wrote.

Another added, “She never hides the fact that Solange is her favorite and she still dreams about the night she was conceived and riding d-ck down the Nile.”

“A mom would say this, then turn around acting like she doesn’t have a favorite,” a third person chimed in.

Why Tina Knowles Had Beyoncé And Solange In Therapy Early

Tina has long been vocal about her hands-on role in raising her daughters, and recently shed more light on one of her more proactive parenting decisions.

Speaking at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books while promoting her memoir “Matriarch,” Tina revealed she put both girls in therapy when they were still very young, after noticing a shift in their relationship as Beyoncé’s career began to take off.

“I just noticed she started being irritated with [Solange] and not wanting her around,” she explained. “And the more she didn’t want her around, the more sad Solange became.”

The Author Faced Pushback From Family

Tina went on to explain that once she recognized the strain between her daughters, she knew she needed outside help and set out to find it herself.

“One of my clients at my hair salon was a therapist, and I asked her to find me a child therapist. I found someone, and I took my kids to therapy,” she said.

But the decision wasn’t universally supported within her circle.

According to Tina, several family members pushed back against the idea, particularly given the stigma around therapy at the time.

“My family did not like it. Especially in Black households, they were like, ‘You know, that’ll make those kids crazy,’” she recalled.

Tina Knowles Says Therapy Changed Her Daughters’ Bond

Tina ultimately said the decision paid off and helped reshape the relationship between Beyoncé and Solange at a critical stage in their childhood.

“It opened Beyoncé’s eyes. She was like, ‘This is my little sister. We’re always going to be close. I’m going to take care of her, and I’m not going to let the age difference get between us.’ She was much kinder,” Tina shared.

From that point on, their bond took a different direction.

“They’ve been close ever since,” she added, before admitting, “They could have gone in different directions. I was so afraid of that.”

Cardi B is smiling all the way to the bank after wrapping her “Little Miss Drama Tour,” which quietly pulled in an eye-watering sum.

The run marked her first full-arena headlining tour in six years, with the rapper taking her sophomore album “Am I the Drama?” to packed venues across multiple cities. The concert series quickly turned into one of her biggest live moments yet, drawing strong fan attendance and plenty of celebrity support along the way.

The tour’s strong turnout ultimately translated into a massive financial win for Cardi behind the scenes, with the earnings climbing well into the tens of millions.

Cardi B has officially wrapped her “Little Miss Drama Tour,” and it’s already rewriting the record books.

The chart-topping rapper’s first full arena headlining outing in six years drew massive demand, with more than 453,000 tickets going across 35 sold-out shows. The run ultimately generated over $70 million in revenue, cementing Cardi as the highest-grossing debut arena act among female rappers, per Live Nation.

Even before the final show, Cardi had already begun stacking up personal records. She became the first female rapper to sell out back-to-back nights at the Kia Forum, while also packing consecutive shows at Madison Square Garden.

The run was further elevated by a rotating lineup of high-profile guests, including Blueface, Lil’ Kim, Meek Mill, GloRilla, and T.I.

Cardi Shares Emotional Thank You After Tour Milestone

Cardi took a moment to reflect on her arena run by sharing an appreciation video with fans after the tour’s massive success.

In the clip posted to her Instagram page, the rapper ran through a long list of thank-yous, starting with her production team for keeping the shows running smoothly with minimal stage issues. She also gave credit to her glam and wardrobe teams for maintaining her signature looks throughout the demanding run.

Cardi went on to shout out her choreographers, dancers, and the industry peers who showed up as surprise guests across various stops, but ultimately saved the most heartfelt message for her fans.

“Thank you to Bardi Gang,” she said. “Thank you to everybody who came and made this moment so special for me.”

Another user pointed out that it’s not every day artists take the time to post a gratitude video, calling the gesture “amazing.”

“First class in every way! You deserve it all! Keep going! Love you, and I will always have your back,” a third commenter added.

“One thing about Cardi, she gives thanks to the people around her & the people she works with… her motion with people is genuine,” another fan shared.

The Run Backed Cardi’s Long-Awaited Second Album

Cardi first revealed plans for the tour in September 2025 during an appearance on “Today with Jenna & Friends,” confirming it would support her long-awaited sophomore album, “Am I the Drama?

The project arrived more than half a decade after her breakout debut, “Invasion of Privacy,” and quickly proved the wait hadn’t slowed her momentum. Upon release on September 19, “Am I the Drama?” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, before going on to spend eight consecutive weeks in the top 10.

The album has since been certified 3× Platinum in the United States and has moved over three million units, further cementing Cardi’s staying power in the rap space.

Jelly Roll is opening up about a difficult moment in his ongoing weight loss journey, admitting that recent setbacks left him feeling uncertain and off track. 

After making incredible progress over the past few years, the country star found himself slipping into old habits during the holidays and dealing with an unexpected injury that disrupted his routine. 

Now, he’s being honest about the fear, frustration, and renewed determination shaping his next chapter.

Jelly Roll revealed that his progress took a hit toward the end of last year after he eased up on his strict routine. 

After years of discipline, the singer chose to enjoy the holiday season without holding back, a decision that quickly changed the momentum he had built.

“We hit the goal and it was right before the holidays, so I was like, ‘You know what man, I’ve been working hard for the last three years losing this weight, I’m going to enjoy the holidays,’” he explained in a YouTube video. 

That mindset led to a series of indulgent meals, including Thanksgiving, his birthday, and Christmas. 

Things became more complicated when he suffered a broken collarbone just days before Christmas, forcing him to stop exercising altogether. 

“I had a big Thanksgiving meal, I had a big birthday meal, I ate a big Christmas meal. Kinda got off the rails and I broke my collarbone … a few days before Christmas,” the singer said per PEOPLE. 

Jelly Roll Admits Fear Of The Scale After Weight Gain

As his routine slipped, Jelly Roll also began avoiding something that had once been a key part of his progress: the scale. 

The 41-year-old admitted that fear started to take over, making it harder to confront where he stood.

“I have, to some degree, lost my way,” he said candidly, acknowledging how far he had drifted from his earlier discipline. 

Jelly Roll went on to describe the anxiety he felt about weighing himself again, saying, “I am scared to [weigh in]. I feel really fat, I feel really bloated, I feel like the scales are going to let me down.”

Eventually, he faced that fear and stepped on the scale, revealing he weighed 276.2 lbs., a gain of 12 pounds. 

Reflecting on the situation, he admitted, “Avoiding weighing in has been the problem.” 

Jelly Roll Refocuses On Goals With Major Plans Ahead

Despite the setback, Jelly Roll is not giving up on his transformation. The artist, who began his journey in 2023 at over 500 lbs and has since lost an impressive 275 lbs., is now setting new goals to keep himself motivated.

He shared that he wants to continue losing weight and is aiming to drop another 40 to 50 pounds to reach his desired maintenance level. 

At the same time, he’s pushing himself toward a challenge he never imagined before. 

“I’ve never ran a marathon or thought about running a marathon,” he said, revealing plans to take on the New York City marathon in November.

Beyond fitness, he also has personal milestones in mind, including a bold visual goal that reflects how far he has come. 

“I know it’s getting real silly now, but I just believe there’s a story that a guy can go from 560 lbs. to a shirt off picture, it’s absurd,” he shared.

Jelly Roll Says He Attended Grammys With Broken Collarbone

Earlier in March, Jelly Roll opened up about a painful “secret” he kept just days before his big Grammy wins, revealing he was seriously injured but still powered through the event. 

As The Blast reported, the country star shared that he broke his collarbone after flipping an ATV shortly before the 2026 Grammys but chose not to tell anyone at the time. 

He admitted, “I was out there running all over the Grammys with a broken collarbone,” adding, “Every time I hugged somebody… I wanted to scream.”   

Despite the intense pain, he walked the red carpet and went on to win three major awards that night. 

Jelly Roll later explained that he kept the injury quiet because he didn’t want it to overshadow the moment. 

Looking back, he described the experience as both joyful and physically overwhelming.

Jelly Roll Declares Himself ‘California Famous’ After Surreal Fan Moment

A few weeks before his Grammy win, Jelly Roll revealed his fame had officially hit a new level after a surreal moment in Los Angeles made him realize just how big he had become. 

According to The Blast, the rapper shared that while walking along Rodeo Drive, a place he used to visit anonymously, he was suddenly recognized by fans, something that had never happened to him before. 

“For real. I’m California famous now,” he said, describing the experience as a turning point in his career.  

The moment stood out even more because Jelly Roll, had spent over two decades grinding in the industry before breaking into the mainstream in recent years.   

He admitted he used to enjoy visiting Beverly Hills precisely because “nobody knows me,” making the sudden attention feel both shocking and validating.  

Now, with major awards, chart-topping hits, and growing recognition across the country, Jelly Roll said the unexpected encounter marked a clear sign that his career had reached a whole new height.
