Sydney Sweeney filmed a three-minute scene for the film “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” but it didn’t make the final cut, raising eyebrows about why.

While reports previously claimed that the scene simply wasn’t a good fit in the film, sources close to the actress are blaming it on politics and “woke” critics, especially after Sweeney was revealed to be a registered Republican during the height of her American Eagle controversy.

Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney returned to the third installment of “Euphoria,” where she has been garnering backlash too over the foray of character, Cassie, into adult content creation.

Despite being Hollywood’s “it girl” for the past couple of years, Sweeney still gets to experience movie editors’ shears.

Speculations were rife suggesting Sweeney would get a short cameo in the highly anticipated “Devil Wears Prada 2,” but recent reports suggest her scene has been left on the cutting room floor, just days before the sequel’s May 1 release.

Sources close to the production told Entertainment Weekly that the move to drop her scene was a “creative decision,” but added that the movie team was “grateful” for her participation.

However, according to Star Magazine, a different source shared that those close to the actress are blaming “Hollywood wokesters” who have become hugely critical of Sweeney because of her perceived conservative views.

Others don’t think it’s because of her politics, with the insider adding, “They’re attributing it to old-fashioned jealousy” of Sweeney’s fast-rising star.

Insiders Claimed The Actress’s Scene ‘Didn’t Work Structurally With The Rest Of The Sequence’

The scene in question reportedly featured Sweeney playing an exaggerated version of herself as a celebrity client at the Dior offices, interacting with Emily Blunt’s character, Emily Charlton.

The cameo, which came early on in the film, was intended to showcase Emily’s new status as a luxury executive, but director David Frankel and the editing team ultimately decided to axe it, with reports claiming it didn’t work structurally with the rest of the movie.

In trailers for the movie, Anne Hathaway’s character Andy reunites with her former Runway colleagues Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and Nigel Kipling (Stanley Tucci), to try and resuscitate the fashion magazine amid a decline in traditional publishing and a scandal.

The trio would do all to keep the brand afloat, including seeking funds from former Runway assistant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), who’s now the head of Dior’s operations in the U.S.

Sydney Sweeney Came Under Scrutiny Over Her American Eagle Jeans Ad

Over the years, Sweeney has garnered backlash for her controversial statement in an American Eagle ad campaign, as many accused her of fostering white supremacy and Eugenics rhetoric because of a pun about “jeans/genes.”

Responding to the backlash at the time, she told People Magazine that she was “honestly surprised by the reaction,” before going on to distance herself from some of the accusations.

“I did it because I love the jeans and love the brand. I don’t support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren’t true,” she added.

The Actress Garnered Backlash For Provocative Scenes In ‘Euphoria’ Season 3

More recently, Sweeney returned in her hit HBO series “Euphoria” and has continued to receive flak after her character Cassie started creating adult content and making provocative gestures.

She recently sparked backlash for a scene where she’s dressed in a revealing dog costume, filming videos presumably for social media. Sweeney’s character barked like a dog and also drank water on all fours.

The actress also dressed as a baby, wearing a pacifier, diaper, and a see-through pink hoodie, sparking backlash from all quarters.

Several called out the show’s creator, Sam Levinson, over the scenes, with many demanding to know if Sweeney had any say.

Sydney Sweeney’s Boyfriend Implored To Give Her Space

Amid the mounting backlash, Sweeney’s love life with Scooter Braun is standing strong as the pair have now gone Instagram official after months of being linked together.

However, the music executive has raised eyebrows over how he has allegedly made his life about the “Anyone But You” actress, with sources close to him imploring him to stop being needy.

“When they’re together, Scooter looks so stressed out, like he’s paranoid of getting dumped and is holding on for dear life,” a source close to Sweeney told Star. “People are like, give the girl some air for crying out loud!”

“He’s absurdly wealthy and doesn’t really have to work, so he has nothing but time and cash to devote to this relationship,” the insider continued. “He’s working so hard to keep this thing going. He is making his whole life, and his whole footprint in Hollywood, about being by her side.”

In fact, the insider added that it’ll be difficult to see Sweeney ending up with him even though he has reportedly been telling everyone she’s going to be his wife.

“He’s handsome, and he’s loaded, but Sydney is one of the hottest stars in the world right now,” the source said.

Slim Thug & Finesse2Tymes Share Their Thoughts On Meg Thee Stallion & Klay Thompson’s Breakup

Earlier this week, Slim Thug took to a livestream while speaking about Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson. In a clip captured by Instagram user @livebitez, Slim said that he hates to “see that,” presumably referring to their split.

“But that’s why I can’t be in that situation. If you get in a situation like that, look what happens when it don’t work out. How many times have I told y’all that, thought?… So now you understand where I be coming from? Now you understand when I say what I say?” he told viewers.

Additionally, the platform also captured a livestream of Finesse2Tymes speaking on Meg and Thompson’s breakup. In the clip, Finesse explained that he thinks it “takes a certain kind of man to be able to accept a woman that’s been publicly ran through.”

“He gotta already kind of be damn near a player. Because if he’s simp already, he’s gonna come into the relationship insecure… But Klay Thompson don’t come off as a player. But he got paper. So he could have a player personality — he can have a player mentality,” Finesse explained in part.

Though writer-director Michael Mann is best known for 1995’s Heat, there’s another film in his catalog that is just as daring, and a little rougher around the edges. 1981’s Thief, his feature film debut, is now considered a classic, proving its staying power over the decades. It tells a slow-burn story involving the planning and execution of an elaborate diamond heist, but its tension comes from the inner workings of the crime syndicate orchestrating it, and the man trying to pull off one last big score before going legit.

In 2026, Thief sounds like any other heist flick, but it endures because it’s not beating you over the head with the heist itself. Vaults get broken into, and loyalties are betrayed, but what really makes this such an engaging watch is witnessing the planning more than the execution. The buildup is just as strong as the payoff, and that’s what makes you want to stick around.

Kind Of A True Story

Based loosely on Frank Hohimer’s 1975 memoir The Home Invaders: Confessions of a Cat Burglar, Thief centers on Frank (James Caan), a safe-cracking expert and ex-con who uses his “legitimate” business ventures as a front for his criminal activities. He’s in love with Jessie (Tuesday Weld), and plans to settle down with her after explaining the true nature of his work. As luck would have it, his most recent score gets ripped off when his accomplice, Gags (Hal Frank), is thrown out of a window, and the money is stolen. After some investigating, Frank traces Gags’ murder to Attaglia (Tom Signorelli), a plating company executive who operates similarly to Frank, but at a much higher level.

As it turns out, Attaglia works for another crime lord named Leo (Robert Prosky), who has seemingly limitless resources thanks to his organized crime ring. In so many words, Leo’s racket is essentially a union for criminals who carry out heists, report their earnings, and wait for their cut. Leo, who benefits most from this operation, provides protection by supplying the infrastructure they need to get the job done. Basically, he operates like any other company ever made. Wealth is generated by frontline employees, and then they fight over the scraps their boss is kind enough to toss their way.

Frank, wanting to settle down and start a family, reluctantly teams up with Leo because he has needs that can’t be fulfilled through conventional means. Jessie cannot conceive a child, and Frank’s criminal record prevents them from adopting. Leo, with his deep pockets and endless connections, can get him a baby off the black market, along with a home, a car, and just about anything he could imagine needing. The problem is that Frank is a lone wolf, and he doesn’t want to continue this lifestyle if he can score big and move on.

As Frank tries to distance himself from Leo, he also does what he does best: cracking safes. The best moments in Thief aren’t the heists themselves; it’s the biblical amount of planning that goes into them. The film goes deep into safe-cracking semantics, supply lists, timing, and getaway logistics, and this is where it really shines. Watching a group of guys plan a diamond heist while Frank suspects the police are tailing him is just as compelling as the heist itself.

Heists Are Loud As Hell In Thief

When I’m far from a credible expert in diamond thievery, I couldn’t stop laughing at the actual safe-cracking sequences in Thief. The opening sequence that establishes how seasoned Frank is, as well as the final score, are louder than God himself as he hammers and blowtorches his way through massive vaults to secure the goods.

While this is probably how cracking a safe actually works in real life, my notes while watching this movie describe Frank as “An expert safecracker who’s also the loudest one. It’s a montage meant to showcase how good he is, but he’s so f****** loud that it becomes really funny if you think about it in bad faith.” That said, given how well-connected Leo is and how skilled Frank’s team is, it’s easy to suspend disbelief.

What’s even more impressive is that Frank is incredibly smart, but he doesn’t have to be the smartest guy in the room. He knows what supplies he needs, travels light, and gets straight to work. For a heist movie, it’s a simple operation that benefits the storytelling, since you don’t get lost in junk science or technical jargon about CCTV and security systems. What you get instead is a group of smart criminals executing at a high level, and the fallout when they get too big for their britches.

Thief has earned its place as one of the best neo-noir films ever made, thanks to its realism and its willingness to show how far one man is willing to go to achieve what he believes is the American dream.

As the plot begins to thicken for Ghosts’ first-ever hour-long season finale, this week’s episode sees the fallout of Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay’s (Utkarsh Ambudkar) deal with Mayor Tad (Justin Kirk) to save Woodstone. After getting in major trouble with the IRS after trying — and failing — to save Trevor’s (Asher Grodman) job, Sam and Jay’s problems were seemingly solved when Tad swooped in as an angelic benefactor, promising to take a hands-off approach just for the good publicity of having saved a local business. However, things seem to have shifted this week as Tad has some very big ideas for the restaurant. Today, Collider is delighted to bring you a sneak peek from tomorrow’s episode, “Under New Management.”

In our exclusive sneak peek, Tad reveals his new plans for the restaurant in a hilarious callback to Season 4. While it’s unclear what changed for Tad in terms of his mayoral priorities, he’s got a new five-year plan that starts with a major makeover for Mahesh. Throwing it back to when the restaurant first opened, Tad reveals that he wants to start a chain of “upscale breasturaunts” after getting the idea from an early review by a local restaurateur. While Sam and Jay are happy to encourage his new endeavors, what they don’t realize is that their restaurant is about to become the very first Mountains of the Valley location. Trevor, of course, who originally came up with the idea, is nothing short of thrilled.

‘Ghosts’ Will Return This Fall, But Season 6 Won’t Air Until 2027

Earlier this month, CBS unveiled its fall schedule with a surprising schedule change for Ghosts. While the series is still set to return for a 22-episode Season 6, those episodes will premiere early in 2027 as a mid-season series. Fans still have some haunted treats to look forward to this fall — to make the wait for Season 6 easier, Ghosts will air two 1-hour holiday specials timed to Halloween and Christmas. According to CBS, the delayed rollout is a show of faith in the hit comedy series, which has consistently placed in the top Nielsen ratings.

Ghosts is making way for showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman‘s newest supernatural series on CBS, as Eternally Yours will air in the 8:30 PM time slot on Thursdays this fall. Rolling the shows out in succession gives Ghosts a lengthier runway, while Eternally Yours gets off the ground, giving both shows the breathing room for success. With the network airing fewer comedies than ever this fall, CBS is looking to give both shows the spotlight.

“Under New Management” airs tomorrow on CBS at 8:30 PM ET, and the Ghosts Season 5 finale will air on May 21. You can catch up with previous episodes on Paramount+. Stay tuned at Collider for more.

As Netflix continues to hike up its prices, it can be frustrating to find footing in the streaming wars. Luckily for fans, one of the best dramas ever made requires no subscription. Now on Tubi, Rob Reiner’s R-rated drama, A Few Good Men, is free to watch.

The movie was written by Aaron Sorkin, adapted from his own stage play of the same name. Released in 1992, A Few Good Men follows Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise), a Navy lawyer tasked with the harrowing case of a Marine hazing gone wrong. The film was a career-best performance for Cruise and also boasted Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson, Kevin Bacon, and Kiefer Sutherland in starring roles. What starts as a case that could just be another plea deal turns into a battle of wits in the final act. A Few Good Men isn’t typical military propaganda, but instead a story that delves into the complexities of its characters.

‘A Few Good Men’ Is the Height of the Courtroom Drama

A Few Good Men contains all the hallmarks of any good Aaron Sorkin project. Before The West Wing and the underappreciated The Newsroom, the scribe delivered quotable lines that would go on to be remembered as some of the best drama dialogue. This element only works due to the strength of the story, which isn’t dependent on stereotypes or predictable beats. A Few Good Men is a character-driven drama that is sadly rarely seen in modern films.

At the outset, Kaffee is a talented, if arrogant, lawyer looking forward to getting out of the Navy. He is known for his plea deals, which is perhaps why, only a year after graduating from law school, he is assigned a murder case. This case has many implications for the Marine Corps after two accidentally kill another Marine after being ordered to carry out a “code red.”

Code reds are not expressly condoned, but happen when a Marine receives harsh discipline as punishment. Lance Corporal Howard Dawson and Private First Class Louden Downey carry out a code red against Private William Santiago, who dies from the assault. Though they only meant to shave his head, the two Marines are on the line for murder and a possible court-martial.

Kaffee understands that the Marines’ best chance is to plead out to serve minimal prison time. It is through his interactions with the persistent Internal Affairs officer, Joanne Galloway (Demi Moore), and continued time with the Marines that Kaffee realizes the code red is a systemic issue that the Marines were aware of. A Few Good Men charts Kaffee’s character progression from a cocky lawyer only out for himself, weighed down by the expectations of his lawyer father, to becoming a prominent lawyer in his own right.

A Few Good Men discusses themes of honor and duty while stressing that these things are not excuses for murder. Dawson’s character is particularly moving as his motivations are uncovered. The corps is all he knows as he stresses: “unit, corps, god, country.” Having already been punished for assisting someone being reprimanded, he was under immense pressure to take on this code red, even though he had affection for Santiago.

All of these stressors come to a head as Kaffee refuses to back down from questioning Colonel Jessup (Jack Nicholson) and puts everything on the line. Dawson was forced into a terrible situation, but still has to take responsibility for it. Though the court orders Jessup’s arrest for ordering the code red, Dawson understands what he does is wrong and is court-martialed.

These little complexities make Sorkin an esteemed writer, and they are accentuated by Rob Reiner’s direction and the powerful performances of the film. A Few Good Men is always a must-watch, and viewers can catch it for free on Tubi.

Barry Keoghan is opening up about the emotional toll the fallout from his split with Sabrina Carpenter took on him.

In a recent interview, the actor revealed that the wave of cheating rumors sparked intense online backlash, which fueled his social anxiety and ultimately pushed him to step away from the spotlight. Although influencer Breckie Hill later dismissed the claims as false, Keoghan said the damage had already been done.

Keoghan has revealed that the intense public scrutiny and online attacks he faced in 2024 took a serious toll on his mental health, prompting him to retreat from the spotlight and skip major industry events.

The “Saltburn” actor shared the candid admission on the “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast, explaining that he became the target of harsh criticism after rumors circulated online accusing him of cheating on Carpenter.

“There was a narrative out there that was never really even spoken on, a narrative that’s not true, and I never confirmed or said anything about it,” Keoghan said. “I just disappeared.”

Keoghan Details Toll Of Brutal Backlash

Keoghan said the backlash quickly escalated beyond rumors, turning deeply personal at its peak.

During the podcast, host Dave Burd asked if the “narrative” centered on cheating, which the actor confirmed. Keoghan went on to reveal that the criticism soon shifted to attacks on his appearance, while some online users allegedly targeted his family, including his grandmother, and even attempted to intimidate his son.

“There’s a lot of hatred towards me for looking like this,” he said.

Although co-host Benny Blanco tried to lighten the mood and apologized for what he endured, Keoghan admitted the experience left him emotionally drained and unable to function at times.

Barry Keoghan Says Rumors Were Later Debunked

Influencer Breckie Hill breaks her silence on rumors that Barry Keoghan cheated on Sabrina Carpenter with her:

“To put it simply for you all, no, I did not get with Barry. I have never even encountered this man in my life. The only time I’ve seen him is on my TV screen from… pic.twitter.com/pyMp6vrOeZ

— Buzzing Pop (@BuzzingPop) December 9, 2024

Keoghan also pointed out that the cheating narrative was eventually shut down by the very person linked to it, though he suggested the clarification didn’t receive the same level of attention.

The “Dunkirk” actor said influencer Hill later addressed the speculation directly, denying any involvement with him after fans began linking the two over a supposed night out.

Hill took to TikTok with a video titled “Addressing everything,” where she made her stance clear: “To put it simply for you all, no, I did not get with Barry. I have never even encountered this man in my life. The only time I’ve seen him is on my TV screen from watching ‘Saltburn.’”

She added, “I’m sorry, but if I really was the one getting with Barry, why in the world would I be reposting about it? Coming from someone who has been cheated on. I would never want to home wreck any relationship or put any girl through that pain, ever.”

Keoghan Explains Why He Didn’t Speak Out

Keoghan said he made a conscious decision to stay quiet rather than escalate the situation, even as the speculation continued to spread.

Shortly after the rumors gained traction, reports emerged that he and Sabrina Carpenter had decided to “take a break,” signaling the end of their relationship. Around the same time, Keoghan deactivated his social media accounts, later writing on X, “I can only sit and take so much,” per PEOPLE.

Speaking during his podcast appearance, the “Peaky Blinders” actor expressed frustration that Hill’s denial didn’t gain traction, but maintained that he didn’t want to “put her on blast” or drag her further into the controversy.

Reaction to Keoghan’s comments has been split, with some expressing sympathy over what he endured, while others pointed to the broader dangers of online narratives spiraling out of control.

“I don’t even have TikTok, but I heard the cheating rumors. Everything spreads to every platform now. It’s inescapable and reinforced,” one Reddit user wrote.

Another added, “It’s so annoying. TikTok comments are full of people repeating easy-to-verify false things just because another creator said them.”

“I feel bad for him. The public going after his looks has never sat right with me either. If he was an awful person, I’d get it, but not when he isn’t,” a third person shared while many other fans expressed their agreement.

Jimmy Kimmel continued his war of words with President Donald Trump on the Tuesday, April 28, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In his opening monologue on Tuesday, Kimmel, 58, played a clip of Trump’s televised news conference earlier in the day welcoming the U.K.’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla on a state visit to the U.S.

During his speech, Trump, 79, noted that his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, moved from Scotland to the U.S. at age 19 and, “She met my father. We loved him so much, we all loved him, we loved her, we loved him: Fred. And they were married for 63 years.”

Turning to wife Melania Trump, the president then quipped, “And, uh, excuse me, if you don’t mind, that’s a record we won’t be able to match, darling.”

“I’m sorry, it’s just not going to work out that way. We’ll do well, but we’re not going to do that well,” he added.

“My God, you should be fired for that,” Kimmel quipped on Tuesday night, referring to the Trumps’ calls for him to be fired for a joke he made on his ABC late-night talk show last week.

Kimmel went on, “Only Donald Trump would demand I be fired for making a joke about his old age and then a day later make a joke about his own old age.”

On the Thursday, April 23, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel hosted a mock White House Correspondents’ Dinner two days before the real one took place and joked that Melania, 56, had a “glow like an expectant widow.”

Jimmy Kimmel has broken his silence over President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump demanding his firing from his late-night show. “Sometimes you wake up in the morning and the first lady puts out a statement demanding you be fired from your job. We’ve all been there, right?” Kimmel, 58, joked in his Jimmy […]

Trump branded Kimmel’s comments a “call to violence” following a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, April 25.

“I appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel’s despicable call to violence and normally would not be responsive to anything that he said, but this is something far beyond the pale,” Trump shared via his Truth Social account on Monday, April 27. “Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney and ABC. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Melania, meanwhile, shared via X, “Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate.”

Kimmel denied that his joke was intended to incite violence during his monologue later on Monday.

“It obviously was a joke about their age difference and the look of joy we see on her face every time they’re together. It was a very light roast joke about the fact that he’s almost 80 and she’s younger than I am,” he said. “It was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call to assassination, and they know that. I’ve been very vocal for many years, speaking out against gun violence, but I understand that the first lady had a stressful experience over the weekend, and probably every weekend is pretty stressful in that house.”
