Vivica A. Fox is pushing for a third “Kill Bill” movie more than two decades after the franchise first captivated audiences. The actress is actively manifesting another installment, expressing hope that director Quentin Tarantino will eventually return to the iconic story. Fox also reflected on how thrilled she was to land a role, recalling the intense and grueling training she underwent to prepare for her action-heavy scenes.

Tarantino previously entertained the idea of another “Kill Bill” movie, but later changed his stance, saying the story was complete.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Vivica A. Fox expressed her desire for “Kill Bill 3.” In “Kill Bill Vol. 1,” released in 2003, Fox portrayed the role of Vernita Green, aka Copperhead, an elite assassin-turned-housewife.

The saga follows former assassin Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman), known as The Bride, as she exacts revenge on the five people who betrayed her, including Copperhead. The Bride killed Copperhead in an action-packed fight in the latter’s kitchen, with the scene ending in Vernita’s daughter, Nikki, seeing the carnage.

“I’d love for us to be able to do Kill Bill 3 soon,” Fox said. Despite her character’s death, the 61-year-old actress said she could return as a presence warning her daughter. At the end of their fight sequence, The Bride addressed Nikki, saying, “When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I’ll be waiting,” implying that she’s expecting the girl to avenge her mother’s death.

Fox also presented the idea of appearing in a flashback sequence if “Kill Bill 3” gets made.

Vivica A. Fox Felt Like She Was Training For The Olympics

Fox performed almost all of her own stunts in her fight scene, except for falling on the glass table. According to the actress, she underwent six months of intense training as preparation.

In an interview for Cocoa Butter in 2025, Fox said the choreographed fight was “vicious,” and she went down several dress sizes. “I literally went from like a size 8/10 down to a size 2. I couldn’t even hold onto the weight,” she explained.

The actress also reminisced about that time with the Daily Mail, saying, “I thought we were like training for the Olympics, but everyone was so dedicated, check their egos at the door, and that’s why the film has become a classic.”

While her character died in “Kill Bill Vol. 1,” Copperhead returned for “Kill Bill Vol. 2” in flashback sequences.

Vivica A. Fox Keeps In Touch With Quentin Tarantino

The actress was asked whether there have been discussions about a third “Kill Bill” movie. “Keep putting it out there in the universe, we just need for Quentin to pick it up and make another,” she responded.

Fox said she had been in contact with the director over the years, and they also see each other at various events. The actress gushed about being cast in “Kill Bill,” expressing how “thrilled” she was to have had the opportunity to work with other stars, including Thurman, Lucy Liu, and Daryl Hannah. She also praised Tarantino, saying, “His contributions as a filmmaker is just undeniable.”

Quentin Tarantino Had An Idea For ‘Kill Bill Vol. 3″

In an interview with Andy Cohen on “Radio Andy” in 2019, Tarantino was asked about the possibility of a third “Kill Bill” movie. At that time, the filmmaker said he had just discussed it with Thurman, revealing that he had an idea.

Tarantino said that he’s toying with the idea of what happened to The Bride after the events in the two movies, but doesn’t want a nonsensical plot. “She doesn’t deserve that. The Bride has fought long and hard,” he explained.

Despite not revealing details about his idea, he shared his timeline, saying, “Now I have an idea that would be interesting. I wouldn’t do it for a little bit. It would be like at least three years from now, or something like that. But it is definitely in the cards,” he said.

The Director Shut Down The Idea Of ‘Kill Bill Vol. 3’

Tarantino teased fans in the years following, even sharing the potential plot for the third movie. In a 2021 appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the director said it would be set 20 years after the events in Vol. 2, focusing on The Bride and her daughter, B.B.

“The idea of casting Uma and casting her daughter, Maya, and the thing would be f-cking exciting. I mean, Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) is still out there, Sophie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus) got her arms cut off, she’s still out there. They all got Bill’s money. Gogo (Chiaki Kuriyama) had a twin sister, her twin sister could show up,” Tarantino said.

In a 2024 episode of the “Club Random Podcast” with Bill Maher, however, Tarantino firmly said he’s not doing “Kill Bill Vol. 3.” The director believes the story had a logical conclusion and told Maher, “I did it, I killed Bill.”

Hayden Panettiere has broken her silence after her estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, called her “entitled” ahead of the release of her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning.

“It was so false,” Panettiere, 36, told Entertainment Tonight of her mom’s statement in an interview published on Monday, May 18. “When people ask me about the relationship, if there’s any hope for the future, I always say I leave that door cracked open in case.”

The Heroes alum continued, “Because who doesn’t want a relationship with their mother? You pray for it and hope it eventually comes. But she slammed that door pretty hard in my face. She has very clearly prioritized herself, which I should not be shocked by.”

Us has reached out to Vogel’s team for comment.

Last week, Vogel released a statement slamming Panettiere’s upcoming book, saying that the allegations that their relationship is rocky were put out to “sell books.”

“There is a personality ‘style’ which manifests as a need for control, entitlement and a lack of empathy,” Vogel told Page Six on Thursday, May 14. “The major fear is that someone will see through the mask they present to the world and discover who they truthfully are.”

Vogel, who previously managed Panettiere’s career, claimed that “this condition cannot be ‘fixed’” regardless of “continual efforts to support” or “comfort,” alleging that there was “20 years of trauma” between them.

Vogel’s remarks came nearly a week after Panettiere exclusively shared in her Us Weekly cover story that she is estranged from her mother.

“Unfortunately, we don’t have a relationship right now,” she explained. “But that doesn’t mean that I don’t leave the door open for the opportunity to present itself one day. It’s hard for me to say, but I’ve chosen to be brutally honest.”

In her memoir, which drops on Tuesday, May 19, Panettiere opens up about her struggles in Hollywood. The Nashville alum shared that she felt pushed by her mom during the early days of her career.

“It’s so ingrained in me to be a people pleaser. I went on set, and it was all about being professional, nailing it and always hitting my mark. I had to be perfect. It was nice to hear positive feedback from people like the directors or producers, but without [my mom’s], nothing else mattered,” she claimed to Us ahead of the book’s release. “I felt like I had an identity crisis at 12 years old. I didn’t know who I was.”

“One Tree Hill” alum James Lafferty has expressed his desire to compete in the upcoming Season 35 of “Dancing with the Stars.” However, it hinges on one condition, and he asked his fans to help him fulfill the goal.

Lafferty starred on the teen drama series “One Tree Hill” for nine seasons, after which the actor focused on directing, writing, and producing. The two seasons of his crowdfunded TV show, “Everyone Is Doing Great,” were recently licensed by Netflix, and the actor is hopeful for a third season.

Shannon Elizabeth is still learning the online content ropes after launching her OnlyFans career last month — and her account is evolving alongside her.

“It did very well in the first nine days,” Elizabeth, 52, explained on the Monday, May 18, episode of the “Pod Meets World” podcast, commenting on reports that she earned nearly $1 million during the first week her account was live.

When it comes to what fans can expect from her page, the American Pie actress confessed it’s still very fluid.

“Everybody asks, ‘Well, what are the boundaries?’ I’m still exploring that myself. I don’t know,” Elizabeth revealed. “I’ve only been doing this [for] less than a month. I’m constantly doing content. The more I do the content the more comfortable I get with myself and chatting with the fans.”

The Love Actually actress noted that she “didn’t expect the kind of response that we’ve gotten at all,” adding that she was just “hoping someone would show up.”

Now that fans have subscribed to Elizabeth’s OnlyFans page, she has been tinkering with what type of videos and photos to post. (OnlyFans is traditionally known for its adult-only content.)

“I’ve done everything from putting on a facemask and going to bed and getting up in the morning. Just content of my life,” Elizabeth explained.

She said that some of her videos have included “behind the scenes” snippets of her life, like, “Hanging out by myself and just thoughts in my head.”

“I’m doing everything I can to just share my day to day life so that fans feel like they’re there with me and they’re a part of it. And they get that inside scoop of what it’s like,” Elizabeth shared. “I even did a video of my actual workout with my trainer. This is what I’m doing. This is my life. So I’m doing a little of everything.”

News broke in April that Elizabeth, who currently resides in South Africa, was launching an OnlyFans account. That same month, reports surfaced that Elizabeth and husband Simon Borchert had filed for divorce.

Us Weekly confirmed in early April that Elizabeth and Borchert had quietly separated in fall 2025 after getting married in 2021. They finalized their divorce earlier this month.

“Today isn’t about the end of a marriage. There are moments in life when you realize that letting go can be exhilarating — that closing one chapter creates space for an entirely new one, and stepping into that feels incredibly liberating, Elizabeth told Us in a statement on May 11. “I’m embracing what comes next with a full heart and a renewed sense of purpose. I’ve never felt more inspired, more creative, or more connected to who I truly am.”

That same month, Elizabeth exclusively told Us that she envisions being “very busy” now that she is single.

“I envision this being, like, one of my best chapters,” she shared. “I want to be busy with projects. I want to be busy with my charity. I want everything to just grow and be successful.”

One of the businesses Elizabeth is working on at this time is her Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, which Borchert has helped her grow over the past few years and focuses on wildlife conservation.

“When I started my charity in the U.S., it was called Animal Avengers. It was a dog and cat rescue that I founded in 2001. And this charity is just the next evolution of that,” she told Us. “It’s the same nonprofit number. We just changed our mission.”

Elizabeth’s OnlyFans account is also on the top of her priority list — and a collab with Love Actually costar Denise Richards could be in the works.

Shannon Elizabeth is rewriting the script on her own terms and away from the Hollywood soundstage. The American Pie star is settling into what she calls one of her “best chapters,” splitting her time between her wildlife conservation work in South Africa, a fast-growing charity and a buzz-worthy new OnlyFans venture that has already shattered […]

“I reached out to Denise, actually,” Elizabeth told Us in May, noting that Richards, 55, has had her own account since 2022. “Denise has been really helpful. She’s talked me through the whole thing, and she recommended people that she worked with who helped to teach her. I’m sure sometime in the future, maybe we’ll do a collaboration together.”

Elizabeth added that while fans can subscribe to her account for free, if they pay the additional fees, they will get more access to her life.

“It’s a way to connect with the fans, which I absolutely love,” she continued. “Now I can actually share even more of what I’m doing out in the field, more of what I’m doing with my charity, more behind the scenes on set when I’m working. Anything that I’m doing now, I can share with them in a much more meaningful way.”

Kyle Cooke and estranged wife Amanda Batula made their first public appearance together since their drama with Summer House costar West Wilson erupted earlier this year.

The former couple — who announced their separation in January — posed together on the red carpet at the New York City premiere for their Summer House spinoff show, In the City, on Monday, May 18.

Footage obtained by Entertainment Tonight showed Amanda, 34, gesturing towards Kyle, 43, as they took photos for the press. Kyle then put his arm around his estranged wife’s waist before they both smiled for the cameras.

The Bravoverse melted down on March 31 when Amanda and West, 31, confirmed they were exploring a “connection” after repeatedly denying they were dating.

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” they wrote in a joint statement. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”

Amanda and West went on, “We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected. Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

“As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling,” they concluded. “We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”

Amanda and West have since been spotted together several times on romantic outings, including packing on the PDA for the Kiss Cam at a New York Yankees game in April. (Kyle reacted to the Kiss Cam video by admitting that he was “not prepared to see” his ex kissing her new beau so publicly.)

Numerous questions remain over the exact timeline of Amanda and West getting together. While Summer House fans should get answers during the upcoming season 10 reunion, West insisted there was no “overlap” with any other relationships when they got together. (West previously dated Summer House costar Ciara Miller.)

“There was no overlap,” he said on the April 20 episode of his and Sophie Cunningham’s “Show Me Something” podcast. “I know there’s a thousand different theories on the internet right now, but that is one thing that for sure did not happen. Everyone was single.”

West additionally clarified that he and Amanda realized things were “maybe a little bit serious” in February.

Since that time, West’s ex Ciara — who is also Amanda’s former best friend — claimed that he may have also slept with married Real Housewives of New Jersey alum Jenn Fessler, though West and Jenn have both strenuously denied the allegation.

Meanwhile, Bravo viewers will get to see the drama surrounding Kyle and Amanda’s separation play out on the new series, In the City, which follows them and their friend group in New York City. The Summer House spinoff sees Amanda and Kyle reunite with Lindsay Hubbard, Daniella Olivera and Andrea Denver, as they are joined by pals Nick Barber, Katie DeLuca, Georgina Ferzli, Whitney Fransway, Eoin Heavey, Kenny Martin, Gavin Moseley, Yvonne Najor and Lexi Sundin.

In the City premieres on Bravo Tuesday, May 19, at 9 p.m. ET, following the Summer House season 10 finale at 8 p.m. ET.

FBI season 8 ended with a massive cliffhanger — and a big change for one special agent. So, what’s next for OA and the team?

Warning: Spoilers below from season 8, episode 22, of FBI.

“Whether the wrongdoer is inside the FBI or outside, we will always find a way to do what is right. It’s kinda his whole thing,” Zeeko Zaki, who plays Omar Adom “OA” Zidan, exclusively told Us Weekly of the explosive Monday, May 18, season 8 finale.

Zaki, 36, also teased that based on his character’s surprising conclusion, season 9 of FBI could pose a threat to OA’s constant push to do good.

“I’m sure some lines will be crossed,” he teased to Us of what’s to come.

During Monday’s episode, the FBI team was forced to work with old foe Anna Vorpe’s team (Claire Coffee), who follows her own rules, while trying to get back a stolen bioweapon and prevent an outbreak in New York City.

After the team failed to secure the lethal pathogen before a bus full of civilians were infected, they had to pivot and try and find the antigen that had also been stolen. As soon as OA and his partner, Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym), got hold of the case, Anna’s team turned on them, beating both OA and Maggie to a pulp. Anna’s team claimed they had their own “orders” and rushed off with the pathogen to give it to their boss.

Once back at headquarters, the entire FBI team was told that “today never happened” and to never speak of the incident again.

OA and Maggie were visibly upset by the idea that the infected civilians were now collateral damage, especially after their new director cryptically informed the team that the bus was “moved” to allegedly “treat” them.

OA didn’t accept the director’s explanation, calling him a “disgrace” to the bureau, which led him to be fired on the spot.

“We all have our limits, and so does OA,” Zaki exclusively told Us of the pivotal scene. “It’s fun to watch him hit that wall. And I can’t wait to see where I go from here.”

OA doesn’t fight back, though — instead he goes into the bullpen to say goodbye to ASAC Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto), who is in complete shock over the decision.

While OA’s direct boss, SAC Isobel Castille (Alana De La Garza), remained silent during the dramatic moment, Special Agent Stuart Scola (John Boyd) started to tear up over the idea of OA leaving.

Maggie stopped OA before he left the building, saying, “I cannot lose you too,” referring to the death of her sister earlier this season.

OA responded, “You’re never going to lose me, Mags,” before seeing himself out.

To add insult to injury, OA was approached later that night at a bar by Anna. She told him a sob story about why her team needed the antidote more than the civilians that were exposed to the city, claiming their deaths would be “for the greater good.”

In a surprising twist, Anna then offered OA a spot on her taskforce, who she said works “off the books” for the Department of Defense.

At the end of the episode, OA made a call while staring at Anna’s business card, hinting that he might be considering the position — even though the villainous Anna was partly to blame for his firing.

“I’m in,” OA said when Maggie and Isobel pick up the phone on the other end, revealing that OA will be joining Anna’s strike team and seemingly helping the FBI take her down once and for all.

“I like to think that was always the plan,” Zaki told Us of the plot twist to have OA get axed but have both Maggie and Isobel know it was going to happen. “Step one was to get fired, and step two … let’s say we’re lucky it worked out.”

Zaki noted that although fans can breathe a little easier knowing that OA’s partner Maggie and his boss, Isobel, know he’s going undercover with Anna’s team, the rest of his pals have no clue what’s going on.

“We are trying to protect everyone as much as we can and their jobs. So what they know won’t hurt them,” Zaki explained. “But I can’t wait to see how they react when they find out.”

When it comes to what OA will be like as a member of Anna’s off-the-books team, Zaki said his moral compass will be tested. The actor, however, noted he hopes for “some bloody revenge” on strike team member Devon, who was responsible for beating OA up during the finale.

“At the end of the day he will always choose his righteous path … fingers crossed,” Zaki said of OA, who is open to running the FBI one day — assuming he gets out of this twisted position alive next season.

Zaki, who has been on the series since the premiere in 2018, told Us that season 9 will be a challenge for everyone, confirming that he doesn’t know who Maggie will be partnered with while OA is absent.

His goal, however, is “always deepening Maggie and OA’s relationship.”

Thank You!

Zaki also pointed out that fans might see more of possible love interest Special Agent Zara Ushruf (Pardis Saremi), who took the heat for OA earlier this season when he went a little rogue.

“I’m excited to see where Zara goes. She is so fun to work with,” he teased. “And I hope, in the first episode, at least we get to see OA on the other side for a little while.”

FBI returns for season 9 on CBS fall 2026.

John Travolta turned heads during his appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, with online users reacting to his striking look and noticeable style transformation. Photos and videos from the event went viral across social media, prompting widespread discussion.

Travolta, who premiered his directorial debut at the prestigious event, has addressed his artsy style, revealing his reasons for embracing the bold look.

Veteran actor John Travolta attended the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, sporting a new look with a neatly-groomed jet-black beard. On the first day of the event, he donned a cream-colored French beret paired with a tailored suit and gold-rimmed eyeglasses. The day after, he wore an all-black ensemble, including a beret and black-framed eyewear.

Travolta’s style made rounds on social media, and in an interview with CNN, the actor explained his fashion choices. After decades of working in the entertainment industry, the 72-year-old said that looking back, he couldn’t pinpoint when his photos were taken or at which events.

However, he wanted to make his directorial debut an unforgettable event, which became the inspiration for his look. “I said, ‘I’m a director this time. You’re an actor, play the part of a director, look like an old-school director,” Travolta said, explaining his thought process.

He then searched for photos of “old-school directors” and found a common theme: berets and glasses.

The Actor’s Look Garnered Mixed Reactions

Travolta’s photos and videos at Cannes made the rounds on social media, with thousands of online users reacting to his transformation. Some questioned the bold choice, while others commended his good genes.

Many commented that Travolta’s beard looked fake, with one writing, “I have more time believing that beret naturally grew from his head than that fake a-s beard.” Another added that he looked like a “French mime on a bender.” The comparisons kept coming, and one user wrote that Travolta resembled a “retired art-house villain from a European crime film.”

Despite many harsh criticisms, the actor still impressed others. Many couldn’t believe he was 72-years-old and said he looked “amazing,” with one commenting that he looked “better than he has in decades.” “72 and still got more aura than half of Hollywood,” another said. “Truth: he looks good. I know, the hat and all, but you gotta admit, Travolta looks impressive for his age,” read one comment.

John Travolta Explains Why He Turned To Directing

Travolta has worked in the entertainment industry for more than five decades, and it’s the first time he decided to sit in the director’s chair. His movie, “Propeller One-Way Night Coach,” is an adaptation of the semi-autobiographical book he wrote in 1997.

In an interview with El País, Travolta said it took him decades to direct his own film, as he wasn’t ready decades ago. Furthermore, a producer advised him that when the time comes, he should do the film himself to prevent others, such as studios and executives, from muddying his vision. “That’s why it’s taken me longer, and I’m writing, directing, producing, narrating, and acting in the end,” Travolta said, adding that his movie was created with his “own personality.”

“Propeller One-Way Night Coach” premiered at Cannes and will be released on Apple TV on May 29.

The Actor Received An Honorary Palme d’Or

Cannes was a big event for Travolta. Aside from debuting his movie, he was also presented with an Honorary Palme d’Or, the Cannes Film Festival’s lifetime achievement award. The award is presented to industry figures who have made extraordinary contributions to cinema.

Travolta’s award was a surprise, and he became emotional as Cannes’ head, Thierry Frémaux, presented the golden palm leaf. “I can’t believe this. This is the last thing I expected… You said this would be a special night, but I didn’t think you meant this. This is a humbling moment. This is beyond the Oscar,” he said.

Later, the actor told El País that he was “deeply moved and surprised” by the honor, describing the moment as “perfect.”

John Travolta’s Five-Decade Career

Travolta has built a long and successful career in Hollywood, acting in a variety of genres throughout the years. He first rose to fame in the ’70s with the films “Grease” and “Saturday Night Fever,” for which he was nominated for Best Actor at the Oscars.

After a career resurgence in the ’90s, he starred in a series of hit movies, including “Pulp Fiction,” “Get Shorty,” and “Face/Off.” In the years that followed, Travolta continued working steadily in film, taking on a mix of action, drama, and comedy projects while maintaining his status as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars.

Travolta will appear in the romantic comedy musical “That’s Amore!” which has recently wrapped filming.
