24 Years Later, David Fincher’s Intense Crime Thriller Masterpiece Is Finally Free to Stream
After Se7en and Fight Club, there was naturally some curiosity about David Fincher‘s first movie of the new millennium. Surprisingly, he decided to go somewhat mainstream with this intimate and claustrophobic thriller. It’s got a surprisingly simple plot. There’s a house, a mother and daughter trapped inside, three intruders downstairs, and a room for safety that turns into a prison.
Panic Room is streaming for free this month on Fawesome. Directed by Fincher, the 2002 thriller follows Meg Altman and her daughter Sarah after burglars break into their new home looking for a small fortune they happen to think is hidden somewhere in the house. The two head into the house’s panic room to wait it out, only to discover that what the baddies want is locked inside with them. This is exactly what you need when you’re in the middle of a divorce, and you just want to move without any stress.
The cast includes Jodie Foster (The Silence of the Lambs, Contact) as Meg Altman, Kristen Stewart (Spencer, Twilight) as Sarah Altman, Forest Whitaker (The Last King of Scotland, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai) as Burnham, Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club, Blade Runner 2049) as Junior, Dwight Yoakam (Sling Blade, Crank) as Raoul, Patrick Bauchau (A View to a Kill, The Pretender) as Stephen Altman, and Ann Magnuson (Making Mr. Right, Clear and Present Danger) as Lydia Lynch.
Was ‘Panic Room’ a Success?
Yep, by all metrics, it was a hit, with critics, audiences and the multiplexes too. Produced on a reported budget of just under $50 million, the movie grossed nearly $200 million at the worldwide box office. It’s currently sitting at a “Certified Fresh” 76% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics’ consensus reads, “Elevated by David Fincher’s directorial talent and Jodie Foster’s performance, Panic Room is a well-crafted, above-average thriller.” Panic Room was written by the prolific David Koepp and was briefly supposed to be directed by Ridley Scott. The film was originally meant to star Nicole Kidman, but she suffered an injury early in production and was forced to step back from the project, which meant Foster joining at a moment’s notice.

Staten Island Condo Owner Praises Pete Davidson as a Neighbor
The president of a Staten Island condo building has provided some rare insight into who Pete Davidson is as a neighbor.
“He is a perfect neighbor. He was polite, he was nice to everyone,” Christopher Campbell, building president of the Accolade Condominium at 90 Bay Street Landing, where Davidson lived for years, wrote in a reported “thank you” letter of sorts, according to a Saturday, May 16, report from local media outlet silive.com.
“He knows that people want to talk to him, so he broke the ice,” Campbell continued in the reported letter. “If he’s on the elevator and he doesn’t know the person, he would introduce himself, and people just thought of him as their neighbor.”
Campbell reportedly added, “When he was dating [Kim Kardashian], she would come here… and he thought of his neighbors, and he didn’t want to have an entourage blocking the front entrance, so he would take the side door to be police. He used to bring his celebrity friends, so you never know who you’re going to meet in the building. Miley Cyrus has been here, Kid Cudi, Machine Gun Kelly.”
The building president also reportedly thanked the Saturday Night Live alum for donating an air hockey table to the residents of his former home.

“On behalf of everyone at The Accolade Condominium, we want to extend our heartfelt best wishes as you begin your next chapter,” the reported thank you letter read in part. “It has truly been a pleasure having you as part of our community. You were the perfect neighbor, always friendly, approachable, and respectful to everyone around you. Your presence brought a special energy to our building, and we know many residents will fondly remember their interactions with you.”
The letter reportedly concluded, “We are especially grateful for your generous donation of the air hockey table to the community room. It has already brought so much enjoyment to residents of all ages and will continue to be a lasting reminder of your kindness and thoughtfulness.”
Insight of Davidson’s neighborly tendencies comes just hours after Us Weekly broke the news that the comedian and his partner, Elsie Hewitt, have called it quits five months after welcoming their first baby together, daughter Scottie Rose. (Scottie is named after Davidson’s father, a former firefighter who died while responding to the September 11, 2011, terrorist attacks.)
“They are still sorting things out as it pertains to their split,” a source close to the couple exclusively told Us on Saturday. “They tried to make it work but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn’t yet know each other that well. They are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.”
The SNL alum and model were first romantically linked in March 2025, going on to welcome their daughter in December of that same year.
“The best thing I’ve been telling people is [that Scottie is] the biggest gift,” Davidson exclusively told Us one month after his daughter’s birth. “Nothing else matters as much or intensely, like career, activities, hanging out with people [or] what do people think of me, that sort of s***. I still want to do cool stuff, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long do I have to stay away?’ Or, ‘Is this worth being away?’”

Jennifer Lopez Dragged For ‘Diva’ Behavior During NYC Outing
Jennifer Lopez is facing backlash online after a recent hotel exit left some social media users accusing the superstar of staging a paparazzi moment. The singer and actress was spotted outside a Four Seasons Hotel in New York City on Wednesday, where cameras captured what many believed was a carefully timed entrance for photographers waiting outside.

Video circulating online showed Lopez lingering near the hotel entrance as several guests exited the building before she eventually made her way outside. Once the lobby had cleared, the “Jenny From the Block” singer stepped out, appearing to make a dramatic, runway-style walk toward her waiting vehicle while photographers snapped away.
Lopez briefly waved to fans before hopping inside her SUV and heading off to her next stop. The star was reportedly on her way to a screening event for Netflix’s “Office Romance” at AMC Newport Center in Jersey City.

As clips of Lopez’s now-viral hotel departure continued making the rounds online, even more critics piled on with blunt reactions. Some commenters questioned the singer’s relevance, with one writing, “She would be nothing without autotune. A washed-up has-been who has been reduced to staged paparazzi photo ops because no one gives a crap about her.”
Others admitted they still thought Lopez looked stunning, but couldn’t get past what they viewed as an awkward moment. “Sooooo embarrassing, she looks great of course but it’s just cringeville 2.0,” another person commented. A different user criticized celebrity appearances in general, writing, “She looks ridiculous. Most of these celebrities look stupid in real life. Their looks are embarrassing.”
Meanwhile, another harsh critic added, “Sick, insecure diva with zero talent.” One person summed up their thoughts on the moment more simply, writing, “Yup diva antics!”
Jennifer Lopez Gushes Over Brett Goldstein Amid Growing Buzz

Despite the online chatter surrounding her latest public appearance, Lopez had nothing but glowing things to say about Office Romance co-star Brett Goldstein. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at Netflix’s Upfront event in New York City on May 13, the singer and actress opened up about their connection while filming the upcoming romantic comedy. “We had great chemistry to begin with,” Lopez said. “It just grew as we did the film together.”
Lopez also revealed she was already a fan of the actor long before they worked together. “I was a huge fan of his from him doing Ted Lasso. Roy Kent, that’s one of my favorite characters,” she explained. “I thought he was going to be more like the character, but he was so soft-spoken and sweet and totally different.”
The sweet comments come as rumors continue to swirl that the pair may have “grown close” following production on the Netflix film.
Lopez Says She’s In Her ‘Happy Era’ After Ben Affleck Split

Earlier this year, Lopez opened up about entering a brand-new chapter in her life while promoting her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace. Structured in four acts, the residency reflected not only on Lopez’s decades-long career but also on the personal lessons she has learned along the way.
“I feel like my shows are always an athletic event,” Lopez joked during an interview with ABC News’ Juju Chang that aired on “Good Morning America.” But beyond the spectacle, Lopez said the residency represents something much deeper: what she calls her “happy era.” “I’m in my happy era,” Lopez shared. “I think for the first time in my life, I feel like I’m free. I am on my own. And it feels really good.”
Jennifer Lopez Gets Candid About Life After Ben Affleck

The candid comments came after Lopez’s 2024 split from ex-husband Ben Affleck and marked one of her most personal reflections yet on independence. “I didn’t really know what that felt like since I was in my early 20s,” she continued. “And even before that, you know, I’ve always had a boyfriend. There was always kind of, like, someone in my life and so many other things that I felt like were out of my control.”
Lopez added that she has reached a place where she trusts herself more than ever. “I just am at a point in my life where I really trust myself and have learned to kind of, I guess this sounds funny, appreciate myself a little bit more instead of being so hard on myself all the time and always trying to prove so many things,” she said.

OnlyFans’ Amira Evans Makes $100 Per Min for Giantess Posts
OnlyFans creator Amira Evans is pulling back the curtain on her finances and revealing what she says she makes from her niche “giantess” content on the controversial adults-only platform.
“Men love the power dynamic where they feel so tiny and pathetic, and the woman is in charge and can just step on them any time and squish them like a bug,” Evans, 26, said in a press release shared with Us Weekly on Wednesday, May 13.
“Guys are really into the tall thing — they’ll often say things like, ‘Pick me up, mommy,’ and, ‘Sit on me,’ or, ‘Squish me,’” she added in the same release. “I have been asked to put a doll on the floor, face up, and stand on the doll in both high heels and barefoot. I have also been asked to put the doll inside my sock and stand on the doll with my sock on.”
According to the 6 foot, 7 inch, British OnlyFans star, she is paid $100 per minute for so-called “giantess” content, i.e. height- and dominance-based custom content. For the uninitiated, so-called “giantess” content focuses on a particular fascination with women of immense, larger-than-life status or size. This fascination allows for an exploration of size disparity between the sexes, power dynamics and role play.
Niche “giantess” erotic content has been gaining mainstream popularity after appearing in the long-awaited season 3 of HBO Max’s hit Euphoria. In the series, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) becomes an OnlyFans-like star who acts like a “giantess” to the delight of one of her subscribers, who pays her to pretend to squash people.

In one scene that has gained a slew of online criticism, a larger-than-life Cassie unzips her top and presses her giant breasts up against a building’s windows. A normal-sized man, who was masturbating to one of Cassie’s online videos inside the office building, then comes to the window and presses his face against it and Cassie’s oversized breasts.
Evans explained in the same Wednesday press release that “giantess” fetish content is far more common than people realize, adding that many of her subscribers pay her “specifically” for her to make them feel “tiny” in comparison.
“I normally get my assistant to film me from the floor using a wide lens to make my legs look really long and my feet look massive,” Evans explained in the release.

Bethenny Frankel Fires Back Over Dina Manzo’s Criticism
Bethenny Frankel fired back after Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Dina Manzo and her daughter, Lexi Ioannou, accused her of not crediting their brand for one of her recent outfits.
“I don’t usually respond to things like this but I think there’s a business lesson here,” Frankel, 55, insisted via TikTok on Saturday, May 16.
The drama kicked off on Friday when Frankel showcased a strapless, polka dot sundress and received compliments about her black peep-toe pumps. She then pointed her fans to a Bloomingdales pair ($375) “for the same look.”
Ioannou, 30, later revealed that she’d sent the pumps to Bethenny as a promotion for her own fashion brand, Nou.
“Bethenny Frankel is a weirdo,” Ioannou claimed in an Instagram video on Friday. “I sent her a pair of shoes from Nou almost a year ago because I look up to her. [She is a] female entrepreneur [and from the] Bravo universe like me.”
Ioannou pointed out that Frankel never tagged Nou despite wearing the pumps in her social media content.
“OK, that happens, but then she posted a video today that’s going viral and a bunch of people are asking where the shoes are [from]. Instead of linking them, she linked a dupe with an affiliate link,” Ioannou complained. “I guess she’s got to get that bag in some sort of way? So, she got the shoes for free from a woman-founded brand, mine, and then she made money sending her followers somewhere else.”
Ioannou’s mom, Manzo, quoted one of Frankel’s iconic Real Housewives of New York City arguments with Ramona Singer while directing followers to buy “the real thing” from Nou.

“‘Wow Bethenny Wow!!’ So odd of you to post a dupe of your GIFTED @shopnou shoes instead of giving a young woman entrepreneur credit,” Manzo wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday. “You wear them often so we know you like them??”
Frankel later released an “Outfit of the Day” video where she did credit Nou. In her TikTok response, Frankel insisted that her decision to link out to another retailer was standard practice in social media.
“The shoes were sold out so we linked to something similar because the audience gets frustrated when there’s something they can’t buy,” Frankel explained. “Why would I wear something and talk about it, if they can’t buy it?”
She went on, “This female owner decided to post a scathing video of me. Her body, her choice. I have stated multiple times that if you send me something, I have no obligation to link, like, use, wear, buy, tag. I can do whatever I want.”
Frankel suggested that she was now reluctant to support Ioannou’s brand after being called out.
“There are about a hundred brands that will watch this video that will message her to tell her how much product I move,” the former RHONY star predicted. “How many sprinkle cookies for Melissa Gorga, how many dresses for Ramy Brook, how many pairs of jeans for Guess. I move a lot of product because I don’t bulls***.”
The reality TV icon argued that Ioannou’s “whining and being a cry baby” was playing the “short game” in the business world.
“It means you’re not a real business person. You have a lot to learn,” Frankel quipped. “I would have worn all of the shoes on your site and you would have sold thousands of pairs and made hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
She added, “My account. My body. My choice. Once you send those shoes into my house, my shoes. You’re welcome!”
Us Weekly has reached out to Ioannou’s representative for comment.

Pete Davidson’s Ex Elsie Hewitt Looks for Nanny After Split
Pete Davidson’s ex-girlfriend Elsie Hewitt is looking for a new “right hand person” following her split from the former Saturday Night Live star.
“I’m currently trying to find an assistant / mother’s helper / nanny type / basically [a] right hand person,” Hewitt, 30, announced via her Instagram Story on Saturday, May 16.
The Industry actress cautioned that any potential applicants would need to meet certain criteria before she’d consider them for the job.
“Apply here if qualified and serious,” she offered via her Instagram Story. “Only looking @ responses with resumes. ($ of course.)”
Hewitt’s search for a nanny comes five months after she and Davidson, 32, welcomed their first baby together, a daughter named Scottie Rose, in December 2025.
“Our perfect angel girl arrived 12/12/2025 scottie rose hewitt davidson,” she shared at the time. “My best work yet, i am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief.”
Us Weekly exclusively reported on Saturday that Davidson and Hewitt recently decided to separate after 14 months of dating.
“They are still sorting things out as it pertains to their split,” a source close to the couple told Us. “They tried to make it work but there were different stressors, including having a baby together as two people who didn’t yet know each other that well. They are both trying to make it work and have made accommodations in their schedules for the baby.”

The insider suggested that it was “very unlikely” that Hewitt and Davidson would ever reconcile romantically while stressing that they are committed to coparenting effectively.
“They are still rooting for each other but are each going their own ways, outside of working to coparent and focusing on their baby,” the source told Us.
Davidson and Hewitt’s whirlwind relationship began when they were spotted together in March 2025 before announcing that they were expecting a baby together that July.
In January, Davidson and Hewitt told Us in a joint interview that they were planning to get married and have more children together.
“Yeah, we’ll do all that stuff,” Davidson insisted.
He also hinted “I think, obviously, we talk about next steps and all that stuff. But right now, we’re just, like, let’s get this routine with this baby down. … The first three months of the baby is, you’re just keeping her alive. We’re already, like, we’re gonna have another one.”
Earlier this week, the comic opened up on his “Pete Davidson Show” podcast about experiencing heartwarming parenting milestones with daughter Scottie Rose.
“[She] is 5 months old now,” he revealed. “She’s doing tummy time. She is really, really communicative. She’s trying to talk now. She’ll talk all day, but it’s just she’s going ‘la.’ So we kind of talk all day, and she’s so young.”
Prior to dating Hewitt, Davidson was engaged to Ariana Grande in 2018 and had high-profile relationships with Kate Beckinsale, Kim Kardashian and his Bodies Bodies Bodies costar Chase Sui Wonders.

Harry Styles’ Setlist for ‘Together, Together’ Tour Revealed
Harry Styles kicked off his highly anticipated Together, Together tour in Amsterdam on Saturday, May 16.
The three-time Grammy winner, 32, opened his concert at the Johan Cruijff Arena with “Are You Listening Yet?” before running through hits including “Watermelon Sugar,” “Treat People With Kindness” and “Sign of the Times.” He closed out his 20-song set with “As It Was.” (See the full setlist below.)
Styles and supporting act Robyn will perform nine more shows at the Netherlands arena through June 5 before undertaking a record-breaking 12 dates at Wembley Stadium in London with opener Shania Twain from June 12 to July 4.
The former One Direction member will then bring his residency-style tour to São Paulo for four nights at Estádio do Morumbi with support from electronic band Fcukers followed by six concerts at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City with Jorja Smith.
On August 26, Styles will begin a historic 30-show run at Madison Square Garden in New York City — his only Together, Together stop in the U.S. — that is scheduled to conclude with a “Harryween” performance on October 31. DJ Jamie xx will open for the pop star at the iconic venue.
After taking nearly a month off, Styles is set to return to the stage at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, with DJ Baby J from November 27 to December 2 before wrapping up his 2026 tour dates at Accor Stadium in Sydney from December 12 to 13 with supporting act Skye Newman.

Harry Styles Anthony Pham
Together, Together — Styles’ first outing since Love on Tour, which ran from September 2021 to July 2023 — supports the X Factor U.K. alum’s fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally.
Styles launched his latest musical era in January with the release of the album’s lead single, “Aperture.” He has since debuted music videos for two more songs, “American Girls” and “Dance No More.”
In March, a source exclusively told Us Weekly why the former boy bander decided to bring Together, Together to only seven cities.
“Harry approached this project and tour very mindfully,” the insider explained. “By doing multi-night residencies, there is less travel and less burnout. He will likely add more dates next year, but he is approaching this in a way that feels healthy for him.”
The source continued, “For Harry, the past couple of years have been about slowing down, stepping back and finding peace. He really treasured that time and the sense of privacy and normalcy. He is coming into this tour knowing what works for him. He is incredibly emotionally mature and constantly working on himself.”
The insider also noted that Styles’ rumored fiancée, Zoë Kravitz, is “very supportive” of his career, which is “a big part of why their relationship works.”
The couple went public with their relationship in August 2025 before sparking engagement rumors in April. Neither Styles nor Kravitz, 37, has publicly commented on the reports.

Off Campus Easter Eggs Explained: Characters, Stories, More
Prime Video’s Off Campus premiered in May 2026, and Briar U devotees haven’t stopped pausing, screenshotting and dissecting every frame since.
Off Campus, adapted from Elle Kennedy’s bestselling hockey romance series, follows a group of collegiate athletes balancing life on the rink with their efforts finding love on the campus quad. In season 1, showrunner Louisa Levy loaded all eight episodes with sneaky nods to the beloved book series with a few twists no one saw coming.
Consider this your ultimate cheat sheet to every blink-and-you’ll-miss-it hint:
Tucker’s Fruit Gag Foreshadows Future Season
One of the most-discussed Easter eggs involves Jalen Thomas Brooks‘ character, John Tucker, who spends season 1 pledging Dean (Stephen Kalyn) and Beau Maxwell’s (Khobe Clarke) fraternity. Part of his hazing requires him to care for a piece of fruit — starting with a grape, which is later swapped for a strawberry, banana and watermelon as the season progresses.
Fans quickly connected the gag to The Goal, Tucker’s book in Kennedy’s series, in which his eventual love interest Sabrina James discovers she’s pregnant after a hookup with Tucker. Pregnancies are typically measured weekly by fruit size.
“Apparently someone said Tucker holding a fruit in season 1 is a foreshadow for his season since babies are usually measured by fruit when they’re in the womb,” one fan tweeted in May 2026.
Tucker and Logan’s ‘Dynamic Duos’ Costumes

At Dean and Beau’s joint birthday party, Tucker dresses as a bumblebee and Logan (Antonio Cipriano) dresses as a hawk — a reference to the “birds and the bees” and Tucker and Sabrina’s future child.
“I’m a bumblebee, and then Logan’s a hawk or a bird,” Brooks told Deadline in May 2026. “[It is a] whole play on words was the birds and the bees, which is kind of correlated to both John Logan and John Tucker’s stories, in a sense. Specifically John Tucker’s. There’s a lot of foreshadowing going on in that episode.”
Brooks also teased Tucker’s future to Us Weekly: “You’re gonna see a lot of Tucker becoming this guy that he’s known to be in the books and everything. I’m excited for audiences to see Tucker, [who is] supposed to creep up on people, you know, and have a little bit of romance.”
Beau Maxwell’s Role Expanded
Clarke’s portrayal of Beau Maxwell — a Briar University football player and friend of the hockey team — has fans emotionally bracing for his onscreen fate. In Kennedy’s novels, Beau dies in a car crash during Sabrina and Tucker’s story, and viewers are already dreading the character’s expected exit.
“I mean, in season 1, we only get, I think, a little taste of Beau, but he does [fill] the screen a little,” Kennedy told Us. “I think that Khobe, he’s such a great actor and he’s the sweetest guy. He had a lot of the little comedic bits in the season.”
According to Kennedy, fans will “fall in love” with Clarke’s Beau before being “eventually devastated.”
Hunter Davenport’s Debut Delivers Major Twist
The season 1 finale introduced Hunter Davenport, played by Charlie Evans, in a major departure from the books. On the page, Hunter doesn’t appear until Dean’s book, The Score, before leading his own book, The Play — though he wasn’t linked to Allie (Mika Abdalla) in either.
The final scene showed Dean arguing with Hunter, with hints the conflict involves Dean’s sister Summer, who previously dated Hunter in high school
“[Hunter’s arrival is] a launching point to hopefully explore some of Dean’s backstory in season 2,” the showrunner told Swooon in May 2026. “But it really was an opportunity to put a little bit of a twist in their story line and prolong it just a little bit, so that we have lots of room to play with them in future seasons. And we also wanted to nod to the book fans that we might have some other characters that you might not expect showing up in fun ways.”
Louisa Levy and Elle Kennedy Explain Adaptation Approach
Levy exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2026 the team prioritized the series’ emotional core over a literal translation.
“We have a lot of stories told in different ways. We have eight episodes instead of the whole book. So we really started with the things that were super nonnegotiable — that without those things it wouldn’t be Off Campus,” the show creator said. “From there, we added as many of the book moments as we could. We dropped them in like Easter eggs.”
Kennedy, who consulted on scripts but didn’t have final creative control, told Us in a separate interview that she was prepared for changes from her source material.
“I went into this knowing they’re going to have to change certain things,” Kennedy said. “Every adaptation has that — especially because the book is written in first person so you’re getting their thoughts a lot. They have to find different ways to show it.”
Season 2 has already been renewed, with production beginning June 2026.

Tara Reid Sparks Concern As Fans Say She ‘Needs Intervention’
Tara Reid is back in the spotlight, but her latest public appearance has social media users sounding the alarm. The 50-year-old “American Pie” actress stepped out at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in France on Friday, appearing in good spirits as she posed for cameras and enjoyed the star-studded festivities. But while Tara Reid seemed upbeat during the outing, online reactions quickly took a more concerning turn.

Reid’s appearance comes less than a year after the actress claimed she had been drugged during a frightening night out at a Chicago bar. Despite the harrowing ordeal, the actress appeared to be bouncing back at her latest red carpet appearance in Cannes, smiling for photographers and soaking in the festival atmosphere. However, photos from the event quickly spread online, where some fans voiced concern over the actress’s appearance.
Social media users didn’t hold back as photos of Reid from Cannes began circulating, with many expressing worry about the actress. “She and Britney [Spears] need intervention, booze, drugs, and makeup. Raccoon eyes are never a good look,” one commenter wrote. Another critic bluntly added, “Hot mess as always.”
A third person suggested Reid simply needed a glam refresh, writing, “She needs an intervention. Ideally, by a makeup artist. Her eye shadow looks dreadful. She does not need black eyeshadow to make her eyes pop. Brown would equally do the trick and be softer.”
Others worried Reid may not be doing well behind the scenes. “Not even makeup can hide the way she feels. She doesn’t look well for a long time; now it seems to be worse,” another person commented. Meanwhile, one fan took a softer approach, simply writing, “Sad. Bless you, Tara.”
Reid Previously Claimed She Was Drugged During ‘Scary’ Chicago Ordeal

Reid’s Cannes appearance comes months after the actress spoke out about what she described as a frightening experience at a Chicago-area hotel bar. The “American Pie” star claimed she blacked out after having what she said was just one drink at a hotel near Chicago O’Hare Airport in late 2025 and later woke up in a hospital with little memory of what happened. Reid alleged someone may have tampered with her drink after she briefly stepped away from it.
Speaking about the ordeal afterward, Reid called the experience deeply unsettling. “It’s just really scary. It’s for all – not just girls, but for guys, for anyone. You have to really be careful with your drink,” she said, later adding, “It made me pass out for eight hours.”
Authorities later reviewed surveillance footage from the hotel and said they found no evidence showing anyone tampered with Reid’s drink, though officials noted chemical testing and hospital records were part of the investigation. Reid, however, continued to maintain that something had happened. “That was the scariest feeling I have ever felt,” Reid previously said. “I felt so helpless.”
Tara Reid Detailed Alleged Drugging Incident In Police Report

Additional details surrounding Reid’s alleged drugging incident emerged through a police report filed on November 25, months after the actress said the terrifying experience unfolded during a trip to Chicago. According to the report, Reid claimed she “completely blacked out” after having a drink with a stranger while staying at the DoubleTree Hotel ahead of a celebrity signing event two days earlier.
The actress said she initially tried to file a report after returning home to Los Angeles, but ran into complications. “They said that I could not file one over the phone and had to be there in person,” Reid recalled, later noting she was ultimately able to complete the report without returning to Illinois.
Reid Says Stranger Joined Her Before Alleged Ordeal

In the filing, Reid alleged she had ordered a glass of white wine at the hotel bar when “A man came up to me and introduced himself as Sean P, a very successful influencer and YouTuber,” before joining her for drinks.
The pair later stepped outside for a cigarette and exchanged phone numbers. But according to Reid, something felt off after they returned to the bar. “Once she returned inside, ‘there was a napkin over my drink,’” Reid alleged in the report.
Tara Reid Says She Woke Up In Hospital With ‘No Recollection’

She told police the final moments she remembered before losing consciousness were sitting near another couple and taking another sip of her drink.
“Then the last thing I remember was drinking that drink and seeing a couple sitting next to us,” Reid stated. “The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital around 8 hours or more later, not knowing where I was or anything that happened. I completely blacked out with no recollection of anything.”
Still, her Cannes appearance has once again put her at the center of online discussion, with many fans hoping the actress is doing okay behind the scenes.

Jon Hamm Gave His Best Performance Since ‘Mad Men’ in This Exciting Spy Thriller From the Creator of ‘Andor’
While he is best known for helping to breathe new life into the Star Wars universe by helping to rewrite Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and delivering the universe’s best show ever with Andor, Tony Gilroy has been making terrific genre entertainment in the industry for well over two decades. In addition to earning several Academy Award nominations for his brilliant directorial debut, Michael Clayton, Gilroy was also essential in mapping out the story of the Bourne franchise.
Although his contributions to the galaxy far, far away have given him a greater audience than he ever would have had previously, he does have some underrated films that are worth another look from those that are obsessed with Andor. Gilroy wrote a terrific, old-fashioned political thriller with Beirut, which featured Jon Hamm in what may be his best performance since playing Don Draper on Mad Men.
What Is ‘Beirut’ About?
Hamm stars in Beirut as the retired American diplomat Mason Skiles, who decided to give up serving his company after his wife was killed in a violent incident overseas. Although he has now begun to suffer from severe alcoholism and depression due to the way that his life has panned out, Skiles is approached by members of the American government who ask for his participation in an academic conference in Lebanon. Once he is overseas, Skiles realizes that he was brought for an entirely different purpose; his old ally, Cal Riley (Mark Pellegrino), has been abducted by a group of kidnappers that want one of their prisoners freed as part of a deal. Although any mismanaged negotiations with the rebel forces could lead to disastrous consequences for global politics, the CIA field officer Sandy Crowder (Rosamund Pike) believes that Skiles can help broker an agreement and allow the deal to proceed without any loss of life.
While it is not based directly on real events, Beirut is a fascinating political thriller that examines an interesting period in history by granting merit to multiple perspectives. Although the film shows that American involvement in an overseas political coup could end up doing more harm than good, it also shows why Riley is treated with such importance and why it is important to not set the precedent that American lives can be given up on. Skiles is an interesting protagonist because despite his experience, he actually doesn’t have a dog in the fight; his only interest is to save a friend, to whom he feels he owes a debt of gratitude to because of the many years that they worked together. Skiles’ political ambiguity isn’t only the perfect justification for why he would be involved in such a top-secret assignment, as it also helps to make him a more interesting protagonist.
‘Beirut’ Shows Why Jon Hamm Is a Movie Star
Hamm is perfectly believable in the role of a seasoned diplomat; in the same way that he made all of Don’s pitch meetings feel completely authentic in Mad Men, Hamm is able to ensure that Skiles feels like he is perfectly attuned to help diffuse any toxic situations when he is forced to negotiate with the Lebanese. Although the film works purely as an exercise in espionage fiction, it also serves as a powerful story about grief and redemption. Skiles feels burned by the world and blames himself for putting duty over saving someone that he cares about; although he is initially resistant to signing up for another dangerous mission within an international conflict, he comes to realize that Riley would easily be killed or injured if he did not become involved in setting him free.
Beirut required some of Hamm’s charisma to make the story more enthralling, as Gilroy never attempts to dilute his material by making it less complicated; while it contains the same level of political intrigue and conspiracy mysteries as the Bourne films, it does not have the same type of action that could intrigue more casual viewers. Nonetheless, Hamm does a great job at showing how Skiles is tested by each situation and what his personal motivations are. Although Mad Men had proven that he was already a wonderful actor, Beirut showed that those skills were equally applicable to his work in film.

Dozens of shoppers have given the Free Assembly Smocked Cotton Mini Dress their five-star seal of approval, due to its luxe fabric, vibrant patterns and ideal length — even for those with longer legs.

The fabric makes all the difference with summer dresses. You want something breathable and lightweight, but not see-through — something that’s really difficult to come across as brands use cheaper synthetic materials. This 100% cotton dress offers plenty of breathing room and just enough heft to make the garment feel substantial. One shopper specifically calls out how “nice” the material is. “It’s not flimsy or see-through.”
Another conundrum, at least for tall girls, is length. So many mini dresses are cut a little too short for those over 5’7” — and no one wants to risk a wardrobe malfunction! “I really like the length of this stress. It is not too short,” another shopper writes. She also adds that she’s able to easily dress it up or down with sandals or boots, making it a great choice for “all seasons.”
Quality fabric? Check. Ideal length? Check. Eye-catching patterns? Check! The Free Assembly Smocked Cotton Mini Dress has all the makings of a Hill House Home dress for about $200 less. With two colorways already completely sold out, you’ll want to jump on the final three before they’re gone, too. Add what’s likely to become your dress of the summer to your cart today!
