Bold and the Beautiful LEAK: Brooke STORMS Logan Mansion & Threatens Katie in Huge Showdown!
Bold and the Beautiful exposes some hot spoilers from a leaked video that show Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) storming into the Logan offices threatening Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and acting totally unhinged and unreasonable because Brooke can’t stand not knowing what Katie is up to.
So, we’re going to talk about the one-two punch of Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) busting into Katie’s office and grilling her, followed by Brooke doing the same thing.
Bold and the Beautiful: Hope Hides While Katie’s Grilled
And now, let’s talk about Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Katie dodging their rivals. So, Hope spent the most recent episode hiding behind a screen in the Logan CEO office listening to Katie’s meetings. And first we had Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards) pitching a jewelry line since they’ve done a retcon and made her another student of Quinn Fuller’s (Rena Sofer) artisan jewelry techniques. We already expected that Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) might start a jewelry line and now it seems like he and Shauna might be running it together which I think is pretty cool and I was kind of expecting that.
Plus looks like Logan is about to get a perfume line is what it’s looking like. That was the other pitch that Hope listened to after that meeting. and Katie relocked the door and then somebody just tried to burst right in. They were, you know, just tried to open it and then started rattling it like a breaking and entering thing. And that was Steffy who apparently thinks she can just walk right into Katie’s office, try and peek at the designs and then demand to know who’s her designer.
Steffy is overstepping and she’s being really pushy and I wonder if she might have recognized Deke Sharpe’s (Harrison Cone) work. So, Steffy started hassling Katie for the name of her designer and said Brooke told her there’s going to be no more stunts. So, Steffy demands to know why the secrecy and it’s like well that’s public relations. You want to build up interest and Katie is a PR person and it’s none of her business.
Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke’s Aggressive Behavior Escalates
Meanwhile, Brooke and Steffy are both still peddling the lie that Katie lured Eric Forrester (John McCook) over to Logan when what happened was the Forresters pushed him out and he ran to Logan. So Steffy demanded that Katie tell her about the new collection and who’s heading up her line. So, I’m expecting Katie to tell Steffy, “Mind your business. You’ll find out when everybody else does.” But Steffy’s suspicious and she may report back to Brooke and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).
So, Steffy may come and say Katie’s up to something with this mystery launch. And then guess what? Brooke decides to go over and behave even worse than Steffy did. And it looks like that may come on Monday. There wasn’t a specific date attached to the leak. So, if you remember, Ridge and Brooke were just talking about how Katie’s fashion house was circling the drain and they said Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) and Katie have nothing now that Eric left. So, if they’re so sure that Katie’s going to flop, why bother? Why the stalking? Why even care?
Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke Goes Off
This Bold and the Beautiful leak says that soon Brooke is over at Logan making crazy demands and some threats. And I think Katie actually needs to get more aggressive with security. Nobody should be in her office without an appointment. Steffy didn’t even knock when she stopped by. She just rattled the doorknob and essentially tried to force her way into Katie’s office. I mean, who does that? Well, apparently Brooke also does it because the leak has her busting in, too.
I’m still trying to figure out why Steffy and Brooke think Katie owes them any answers. When Brooke shows up grilling Katie and being aggressive, I’m actually hoping that Bill intervenes and tells Brooke, “Go kick rocks, get out of Katie’s office, and never come back.” Because Bill’s infuriated that Brooke slapped Katie. So, Bill’s not going to put up with Brooke acting out if he walks in on it.
And then it gets crazier. The leak shows Brooke telling Katie she is going to search the halls at Logan until she finds out who it is because Katie won’t tell Brooke who’s her new designer. That’s nothing short of insanely aggressive behavior. Katie should kick her sister out. I mean, what business rival thinks that they get to come in and go office by office, hall by hall, searching like they’ve got a warrant, trying to find out what the competition is up to. It’s absolute craziness.
Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke’s Demands and Katie’s Defiance
So, after Brooke threatens to search the offices to root out her new designer, Katie tells Brooke that she’s being ridiculous. And then she claps back and Brooke is telling Katie, “Just try me.” I’m not sure why Brooke thinks she can behave like this. It’s that Forrester entitlement. You know, we see it with Steffy. We see it with R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) also.
Meanwhile, Hope is hiding behind that same screen in Katie’s office looking alarmed that her mom Brooke showed up at Logan and is behaving like this. So, Hope is sticking with Logan, especially after hearing Fanny Grayson (Elsa Esnoult) saying that she asked Steffy about creating a signature fragrance for the Hope for the Future collection. And then Fanny said Steffy told her Hope’s line was on hold. And Fanny said Steffy didn’t seem in a hurry to bring it back.
Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke Fully Unhinged
So, also in this Bold and the Beautiful leak, we’ve got Brooke going full third grade mean girl telling Katie, “Try me, I dare you.” I just think at this point Brooke needs a reality check. So Katie’s actually keeping Brooke distracted so that Hope can slip out from behind the screen and sneak out the door of the office without Brooke seeing her.
And the leak has Katie saying, “You want to know who my designer is?” Then she tells Brooke she can find out tomorrow along with everybody else. But Brooke is relentless and demands just going crazy and tells Katie, “I want answers now.” And she demands again for her to tell her who is her mystery designer.
I am quite certain Katie is not going to tell her. And if all goes well, it sounds like the Logan team might actually pull off a blind side. I’m assuming Steffy and Brooke are going to force their way into the launch of the new collection since they’re being so pushy already. But honestly, who acts like that? That is not business behavior. That is not appropriate. Steffy and Brooke are behaving both again, as I said, entitled typical Forrester stuff.
Bold and the Beautiful: The Launch and Legal Implications
So, when it comes out that Hope is launching with Logan, I expect a huge scene and it may come as a fashion show. To me, Steffy and Brooke hassling Katie like this makes them look worried. It makes them look weak. Forrester Creations is a top brand and they have been for decades. And Steffy and Brooke being so aggressive and determined to find out who Katie hired makes them look paranoid and worried like they see Logan on the same level as them. You know, it’s just not a good look and it contradicts the other stuff they’re saying.
I just made a video about whether Steffy could get an injunction to stop Hope’s new line at Logan. Honestly, I think Steffy could under California law because Hope’s still an employee of Forrester Creations even while she’s on a leave of absence. And that means Hope is in breach of contract for working with Katie right now.
Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy & Brooke Go Too Far
I’m really curious to see what Steffy says to Brooke that sends her into this tail spin where she goes over to Logan just acting over the top. Now, whether you are team Logan or team Forrester Creations, I think we can agree that Brooke and Steffy are overstepping with the way they’re acting in Friday’s episode, and it looks like it’s going to pick up on Monday based on the leak. Because if you remember, Brooke recently told Katie to come over to Forrester Creations, then shut her out, called her homely, and told her little sister, “Stay off my turf.” When Brooke is the one who invited her to her turf. And then Brooke still thinks it’s okay for her to come over to Katie’s turf and interrogate her.
It’s hard to decide who to root for on this soap from day to day. When Brooke’s acting like this, I lean towards Katie. But then when she said that dirty secret thing about Hope, then you know I’m leaning towards Brooke. So that’s all the leaked info we have, but it looks like there’s going to be a huge buildup until the Hope Logan launch. And I just hope that Bold and the Beautiful gives us an explosive scene and doesn’t wimp out and pull the punches. I’m very excited to see it.

Sykes said Maher told her that people were sending him “a lot of texts” saying her joke about him was “stupid.”
Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for Widow’s Bay Episode 9.
One of the best parts about watching TV is coming up with your own theories about what will happen next, but what can make a series even more impressive is when the writers create truly original twists that flip those theories on their head. Apple TV’s new hit series, Widow’s Bay, has now proven one popular fan theory completely wrong, but the way the information is revealed just so happens to play out in one of the funniest scenes on television this year.
Widow’s Bay’ Episode 9 Features One of the Show’s Funniest Scenes
Episode 9 of Widow’s Bay starts with a fierce storm descending upon the island. Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys) reluctantly agrees to sound the emergency siren and alert people to gather in a storm shelter underneath Town Hall for everyone’s safety. It’s clear by this point that the curse hasn’t truly been broken, and Patricia Moyer (Kate O’Flynn) discovers the reason why: Richard Warren (Hamish Linklater) actually still has one living descendant. Wyck Crawford (Stephen Root) informs Tom that he has asked Rosemary (Dale Dickey) to look at the Warren family genealogy to discover who this person might be. What transpires after that is a hilarious five-minute monologue in which Rosemary reveals the results of her research. In all the chaos of the storm, she’s somehow found the time to make transparencies so she can conduct an entire presentation on an overhead projector instead of merely telling them who the descendant is.
Rosemary’s gruff voice starts rattling off the entire Warren family tree, which starts way, way back in the 1600s. From there, she goes through every single member of the family, hilariously riffing on the reasons why various descendants didn’t continue the line (“dead baby, dead baby, lesbian…”). This rundown of several centuries of Widow’s Bay history is complete with side comments about two siblings marrying each other and an apparent murder mystery (“The husband did it”). Tom, Patricia, and Wyck exchange frustrated glances, increasingly dismayed by how long the story is taking but not brave enough to interrupt Rosemary during her spiel.
Matthew Rhys’ Horror Series ‘Widow’s Bay’ Is Apple TV’s Weirdest, Boldest Show Yet | Review
‘Widow’s Bay’ premieres April 29 on Apple TV.
The entire scene is incredibly funny and offers plenty of background on an important family in the lineage of Widow’s Bay, but it also serves as a masterclass in comedic timing from Dickey, who turns something as small as a smoke break into a hilarious bit. Rosemary has clearly spent time on this presentation, and her colleagues are going to sit and listen to every bit of research she’s uncovered. Yet this hysterically funny scene in the penultimate episode of Widow’s Bay‘s first season does hold significance to the story, while offering the actors involved another chance to showcase their comedic skills.
One of ‘Widow’s Bay’s Biggest Fan Theories Is Hilariously Subverted in Episode 9
Many fans previously theorized that Tom’s wife, Lauren (Meredith Casey), and his son, Evan (Kingston Rumi Southwick), were Warren’s true descendants. This would’ve explained the mysterious turn of events when Tom and Lauren tried to leave the island for her to give birth to Evan. Instead, Rosemary reveals that Warren’s last living descendant is none other than their sweet, doddering, and very old co-worker, Ruth Livingston (K Callan). With this surprise twist, Widow’s Bay sticks to what it does best — zig when most shows would zag. The spirit of the show (and of the town of Widow’s Bay itself) is that you never know where danger is going to lurk, or what insane lengths a person will have to go through to save themselves. By choosing Ruth as the descendant, the show’s writers have set up an exciting and intriguing plot point. Will Tom and Wyck actually go through with killing Ruth in order to end the curse? Will viewers get more answers about the circumstances surrounding Tom’s wife? Will anything bad happen to the residents of Widow’s Bay if Ruth is out of the picture?
While it’s unclear whether any other fan theories about the show will end up panning out, one thing is for certain: Widow’s Bay never relies on traditional opportunities for humor. What other show could take a genealogy presentation and turn it into one of the best scenes on television? With inventive writing and spot-on performances, the horror-comedy is a must-watch, especially with the finale looming. Thanks to the confirmation that Widow’s Bay has been picked up for a Season 2, this means that there’ll be even more episodes to explore this cursed island, and even more chances for laughs.

In my eyes, pants are strictly a winter style necessity. As for summer? Well, this time of year is meant for skirts. Skirts will always be a part of my warm-weather wardrobe, and this year they are the it-girl fashion item.
There are four specific skirt styles defining summer: drop-waist silhouettes, textured picks, ruffles and slip skirts. My recommendation is to add one of each to your closet for endless flirty outfit options that will have you looking and feeling your best all season long. I found plenty of options from retailers like Amazon, Nordstom and Macy’s. Keep reading to find the best summer skirts to add to your closet STAT.
4 Warm Weather Skirt Trends To Add to Your Closet
Drop Waist Skirts
1. Breezy and Fun: Ease into the drop waist skirt trend with this lightweight and breathable maxi that comes in two neutral hues. Honestly, you’ll want to swap all your jean shorts for this once you slip into the flowy silhouette.
2. Preppy Chic: Classic tweed fabric gets a 21st-century revamp with this bright drop waist silhouette. The style is especially great for those with larger behinds because it offers extra room.
3. Boho Dreams: If you aren’t a fan of long denim skirts, this tiered style will definitely change your mind. The loose, flouncy silhouette is ideal for hot days, especially when spent at music festivals or parks.
4. So Romantic: A drop waist skirt — specifically, this sophisticated cotton twill pick — is the ideal date night bottom because of its A-line cut that elongates and slims.
Lace is having a major moment this spring but not in the overly precious way you might remember from years past. This season’s versions feel fresh, wearable and surprisingly versatile, showing up as delicate trim on relaxed shorts, subtle panels on breezy dresses and pretty details on everyday tanks and skirts. They add a romantic […]
Textured Skirts
5. Mover and Shaker: Few things are more fun than this tiered fringed skirt. It sways with every step you take — just imagine how it’ll shimmy when you’re on the dance floor.
6. Sparkle All Night: You’ll twinkle like the North Star when the sun (or disco ball!) catches the chunky flower sequins on this playful sheer maxi.
7. A Lotta Lace: Forget itty bitty lace detailing. We’re seeing maximalist-inspired full lace skirts this summer. This boho-esque lace maxi is by far our fave, and it comes in four pretty colors.
8. Flirty All Around: There are so many eye-catching elements of this skirt. Between the silky fabric, lace trim and asymmetrical hem, you’d think it’d be too much, but it blends for a gorgeous statement-making wardrobe must-have.
Ruffle Skirts
9. Ruffles Galore: You know how the saying goes — go big or go home! This extra feminine skirt is made with seemingly endless ruffles for an elegant ballerina vibe.
10. Special Secret: Never worry about a wardrobe malfunction thanks to the under-shorts expertly hidden in this pretty lace-trim ruffle skort.
11. Florals for All: Flower prints and ruffles are a match made in heaven. We’ve already bought three colors of this flouncy, floral maxi because the price is tough to beat.
12. Yee Haw: The 1800s called, and they’re jealous of this super chic western skirt, with its high-low silhouette, lacey details and charming ruffles.
Slip Skirts
13. The Real Deal: You’ll get one to two wears out of polyester slip skirts, but this 100% silk design? With proper care, it will last in your closet for decades.
14. Easy Care: Silk isn’t always tough to care for. Just take this washable silk skirt from Quince — it can be thrown in the machine and hung to dry.
15. Just Like Leggings: Contrary to popular belief, slip skirts don’t have to be shiny or silky. This curve-hugging design feels comparable to leggings. In fact, it might be comfier.
16. Matchy Matchy: Cue the easiest summer outfit. When you have this lace-lined maxi and the matching babydoll shirt, you’ll be ready for anything in minutes.
Comfort connoisseurs, rejoice! The most stylish West Coast gals are pushing scratchy jeans, stiff trousers and tight leggings to the back of the closet. Instead, they’re replacing them with billowy skirts that so loose and flowy, you’ll forget you’re wearing anything at all. Better yet, these chic picks are just as versatile as pants, only […]
Alana Haim is a proud Valley girl — but that didn’t stop her from creating custom gear to support the New York Knicks while sitting courtside at the 2026 NBA Finals.
The musician and actress — who was born and raised in Los Angeles along with her sisters and bandmates, Danielle and Este Haim — partied with friend Taylor Swift at Game 4 of the finals on Wednesday, June 10, which didn’t sit well with some critics who called them out for jumping on the Knicks bandwagon.
“I’m from L.A., and I love the Lakers, but I also love the Knicks,” Alana, 34, told Vogue in a story published on Thursday, June 11. “It’s just such an incredible season for them, and it was such an honor to root for them. That was, I think, maybe the greatest basketball game ever played, and I’m hoping they bring home the championship, because they’re such an incredible team.”
The Knicks erased a 29-point deficit, the largest in NBA Finals history, and defeated the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4, putting the franchise one win away from their first NBA title since 1973.
Six-time Emmy winner Hank Azaria joined the chorus of critics who took issue with Taylor Swift sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden during Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals. “I’ll tell you the one that bothered me was Taylor Swift. Come on,” Azaria, 62, said on the Thursday, June 11, broadcast of The Dan […]
While most sports fans view the cities of New York and Los Angeles as fierce, storied adversaries, Alana doesn’t see it that way.
“I think we can all be friends,” she argued. “There’s no animosity there.”
At Game 4, Alana, her sisters and Swift, 36, were decked out in custom, pop culture-inspired Knicks shirts that Alana made by hand.
Alana’s read “Knickelback,” while sisters Este and Danielle rocked “Knickole Kidman” and “Knickolas Cage,” respectively, and Swift’s said “Stevie Knicks.”
“If I’m getting anything out of this experience, it’s that I really just want people to go out and make shirts,” she told Vogue. “It’s such a fun hobby, and it’s so easy to do. I’m a Sagittarius, so there’s a graveyard of arts and crafts that I’ve done, from needlepoint to bedazzling. I really just want people to do more arts and crafts!”
Alana peeled back the layers of her creative process, revealing that the shirts were all the brainchild of Swift.
“I got a text from Taylor that was really the text that you want to get as an amateur screen printer. She said, ‘I want to wear this shirt to the game, can you make it for me?’” Alana said. “And I was like, ‘I thought you would never ask, this is my dream.’ Whenever I start out a session with a friend, I go, ‘Let’s talk about fonts, let’s talk about sizing,’ and [Swift] came up with Stevie Knicks.”
Alana continued, “We were kind of going back and forth with these puns; we really just wanted to have fun, because we were so excited that we were going to the game, and I thought it would make people laugh, so we put them on shirts and all decided to wear them.”

Meanwhile, Christian looks like he’s loving every second, standing right behind her and hyping her up while the music plays.

The Internet Weighs In On Jennifer’s Dance Moves
Of course, reactions flooded The Shade Room’s comment section. Plenty of folks said this is what being outside with your man should look like, while others joked that Jennifer must have some auntie knees.

Christian Gold Previously Showed Off His Bold Tattoo Dedicated To Jennifer
Jennifer Williams and Christian Gold’s love goes beyond the club. In 2025, he shocked social media after he debuted a fresh tattoo portrait of Jennifer’s face on his head. At the time, a Los Angeles tattoo artist BK Kim shared a clip of his work on Christian. The video shows him inking Jennifer’s face on the back of Christian’s head. Christian later posted the video on his own Instagram account along a heartfelt message for Jennifer.
“worth the pain.
the love I have for my wife is unexplainable.
being your partner in this cruel world is an honor.
thank you BK for capturing every detail, my brother.
can’t wait for the next project,” Gold wrote.

What Do You Think Roomies?
Ridley Scott’s career is usually discussed through the giants first: Alien for sci-fi horror, Blade Runner for cyberpunk, Gladiator for the modern historical epic, The Martian for survival cinema, and now The Dog Stars, his upcoming return to science fiction after nearly a decade away from the genre. But somewhere between his mythic worlds and futuristic nightmares sits one of his most punishingly grounded films, which is now streaming on Peacock.
It’s a war movie that strips away the grandeur people often associate with his name and drops the audience straight into panic, smoke, rotor blades, radio chatter, and bodies moving through streets where every corner feels like a trap. The film came out in 2001, runs for 144 minutes, and is adapted from Mark Bowden’s 1999 nonfiction book about the 1993 U.S. military operation in Mogadishu, Somalia.
The film is Black Hawk Down, and it is now streaming on Peacock after joining the platform’s June lineup. Josh Hartnett, Ewan McGregor, Eric Bana, Tom Sizemore, William Fichtner, Jason Isaacs, Jeremy Piven, Orlando Bloom, and Tom Hardy help fill out one of the most stacked war-movie ensembles. The movie earned $173 million worldwide against a $92 million budget, landed four Oscar nominations, and won for Best Film Editing and Best Sound. And it’s obvious that more than two decades later, it still remains one of the clearest bridges between old-school war epics and the hyper-immersive military storytelling that shaped later films, television, and even games like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Ridley Scott’s Next Sci-Fi Movie Makes This Streaming Arrival Even Better Timed
The Peacock arrival also lands at a useful moment for Scott’s larger career conversation. His next film, The Dog Stars, is set to hit theaters starting August 28, 2026, with Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin leading a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story about a former pilot and an ex-Marine searching for hope after a devastating flu pandemic. Scott has not directed a sci-fi film since Alien: Covenant in 2017, so his return to the genre naturally pulls attention back to the range of his filmography. Black Hawk Down, however, is the reminder that his best work has never depended on one lane.
Black Hawk Down is now streaming on Peacock. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Do you believe in aliens? Or, a better question might be: Do you believe in movies about aliens?
The sci-fi genre is littered with them and some of the very best are from maestro Steven Spielberg (E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind). His Disclosure Day (in theaters starting Friday, June 12) is a throwback in the best way. While it isn’t a direct sequel to any of his films, viewers won’t have to squint too hard to find an obvious thematic through line to much of his previous work.
The acclaimed director, working off his own original story (with a script by David Koepp), has a jubilant winner here that despite a few weaker plot details will make even the biggest skeptic a believer. The movie is a bighearted, emotional chase that’s action-packed from the jump.
2025 was a surprisingly mixed year for movies. While the box office increased slightly from 2024’s total, several high-profile movies, like Marvel’s Thunderbolts and Paramount’s The Running Man, underperformed. There’s a reason for that — they weren’t as good as many people, including myself, expected them to be. 2026 promises to be different. Project Hail […]
Daniel (Josh O’Connor) is a whistleblower on the run from some shady characters (including a menacing Colin Firth). They’re holding his girlfriend, Jane (Eve Hewson), hostage as the duo work to expose shocking information about extraterrestrial life.
Meanwhile, Margaret (an outstanding Emily Blunt) is a Kansas City weather reporter experiencing odd things: She’s suddenly fluent in multiple languages, and can telepathically connect with people, much to the dismay of her hapless boyfriend (a very funny Wyatt Russell).
When she collapses on set after making a series of clicking sounds, it’s clear that something is going on. To reveal much more about Daniel and Margaret’s strange connection would spoil things, but let’s just say that Spielberg asks viewers to imagine what it would mean to discover that we’re not alone. Could the world be trusted with such information? Would it bring people together or further divide them? Moviegoers can probably guess where Spielberg is likely to land on that question, but just because you know a destination doesn’t mean it’s not worth taking the journey.
Racing against the clock, the intense Disclosure Day is full of giant set pieces (including a thrilling train scene reminiscent of Indiana Jones) that will delight viewers of all ages.
Aliens may or may not be real. But Disclosure Day will make you want to believe.

Below, what other critics are saying about Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, which currently has an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes.
NPR: “I wish Disclosure Day itself were a more complex movie. Spielberg’s storytelling is often described as overly sentimental, which isn’t always fair; his previous work, the semi-autobiographical The Fabelmans, was one of the most genuinely moving films of his career. But sentimentality does ultimately overwhelm Disclosure Day, especially in the big finale, when the movie strains to bring its characters and indeed all of humanity together.”
Peacock has a fantastic selection of movies spanning genres and decades, all available at one’s fingertips in December. Watch With Us takes a look at the best movies streaming on Peacock right now, and we’re highlighting two of the newest additions this month. Our first pick is Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, a funny, touching autobiographical drama about […]
Slate: “Forty-four years after he imagined the friendship between a suburban grade-schooler and a stranded alien, here was the now-79-year-old filmmaker again taking a crack at a story in which humanity learns for the first time that we are not alone.”
Variety: “Spielberg, as part of the film’s publicity, has suggested that he believes in alien visitations, and that he’s an advocate for disclosure. But where Close Encounters tapped into the mystery of all this with an innocence that was both starry-eyed and spectacular, Disclosure Day feels like a thriller docudrama that’s too cut-and-dried about what it believes. The actors are quite good (especially Blunt, who makes you feel she’s seeing the uncanny), but for all the film’s slow build it doesn’t take us anywhere overly surprising. It just confirms the “truth” that’s been out there for so long it’s starting to feel like a fairy tale for the dispossessed.”
