Resident Evil Official Trailer Reveals Zach Cregger’s Terrifying New Horror Film
The nightmare is officially returning.
Earlier this month, Paramount Pictures announced that a brand new A Nightmare on Elm Street film is in development through its new horror label, Paramount Primal. The project is being produced in partnership with the Wes Craven estate and will be based on Craven’s original 1984 screenplay, marking the franchise’s first new theatrical chapter in more than 15 years.
With no director or cast announced, fans have already begun asking the biggest question of all:
Who should become the next Freddy Krueger?
No one will ever replace Robert Englund, whose performance helped make Freddy one of the most recognizable horror icons of all time. Instead, Paramount has an opportunity to introduce a fresh interpretation of the dream demon while honoring the legacy that made the character legendary.
Here are five actors we’d love to see take on the role.
1. Bill Skarsgård
If there’s one actor who has already proven he can reinvent an iconic horror villain, it’s Bill Skarsgård.
His unforgettable performance as Pennywise in IT showcased his ability to transform through subtle facial expressions, unsettling body language, and an eerie sense of unpredictability. Rather than trying to imitate Robert Englund, Skarsgård could create a completely new version of Freddy that feels terrifying for an entirely new generation.

2. Jack O’Connell
Jack O’Connell may not be the first name fans think of, but that’s exactly why he’d be such an interesting choice.
Whether playing violent criminals or emotionally damaged antiheroes, O’Connell brings an intensity that feels authentic. He could portray Freddy as less of a wisecracking slasher and more of a psychologically disturbing nightmare that haunts victims long before the killing begins.

3. David Dastmalchian
Few actors have become as respected within the horror community as David Dastmalchian.
His performances in films like Late Night with the Devil have shown that he can balance charm, vulnerability, and unsettling menace all at once. Dastmalchian’s unique voice and naturally eerie screen presence could make for one of the most unsettling interpretations of Freddy Krueger yet.

4. Walton Goggins
Walton Goggins might be the wildcard on this list, but he possesses one quality that’s essential to Freddy Krueger: charisma.
Freddy doesn’t simply kill his victims he enjoys tormenting them. Goggins has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to mix dark humor, intimidation, and unpredictability into every performance. That combination could make for a Freddy who is equal parts entertaining and terrifying.

5. Andy Serkis (Motion Capture)
Andy Serkis has built an incredible career bringing unforgettable characters to life through motion capture. From Gollumin The Lord of the Rings to Caesar in the Planet of the Apes trilogy and Supreme Leader Snoke in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, Serkis has repeatedly shown that digital performances can be just as emotionally powerful as traditional acting.
Rather than relying solely on practical makeup, Paramount could use motion-capture technology to create a Freddy Krueger whose movements feel unnaturally fluid, distorted, and dreamlike. Serkis’ mastery of performance capture could allow Freddy to move in impossible ways that perfectly fit the surreal nature of nightmares, creating one of the most visually unique versions of the character ever seen on screen.

Final Thoughts
Paramount’s newly announced A Nightmare on Elm Street film is still in the early stages of development, meaning fans may be waiting a while before an actor is officially cast as Freddy Krueger.
Whoever lands the role will have enormous shoes or rather, a burned fedora and bladed glove to fill. Robert Englund’s portrayal defined the character for decades, but every horror icon eventually finds a new generation.
Whether it’s Bill Skarsgård’s haunting presence, Jack O’Connell’s intensity, David Dastmalchian’s psychological edge, Walton Goggins’ sinister charisma, or Andy Serkis’ groundbreaking motion capture performance, each actor brings something unique that could help Freddy Krueger haunt audiences once again.

The following article contains spoilers.Lost was both a series of question marks and a series of exclamation points. The famous water cooler conversations around the show weren’t just speculation about what it’d do next but amazement over what it just did.
Its twists were nuts, and picking just a top 10 was a struggle. If your favorite’s missing, it’s because we wanted to spread things out and grab highlights from every season. The swerves really did continue right up to the end, including the case of…
10
The submarine bomb
In one of the last episodes, the evil Man in Black (Terry O’Quinn) has promised to escort the survivors off the Island using a submarine. He is lying, and this surprises no one, least of all the survivors, who take off without him. Then, once submerged, they realize he slipped a bomb aboard. Now comes a surprising conversation: The survivors debate whether to defuse it or whether they should let the timer run down because maybe the bomb isn’t real.
Savvy viewers know that, whether or not the bomb is real, this scene cannot end with it going off. This is a confined space. If it goes off, it would kill several of the few remaining main characters. Moreover, they are in a submarine underwater. As much as Lost loves explosions, this one would lead to an extended scene of a submarine flooding and sinking, which is far too expensive to stage, outside perhaps a season finale. Sawyer (Josh Holloway) decides to defuse the bomb — which results in the timer now running down five times faster. The bomb does go off, against all conventions of narrative and budget (resulting in one of the saddest deaths on Lost).
9
The Swan
That bomb debate echoes debates about belief that continue throughout the series. It most strongly echoes one from Season 2, when characters stumble on an old scientific station, the Swan. A button must be pressed every 108 minutes. Otherwise, supposedly, the world will end. Believing in the button is absurd, but denying it might be catastrophic. Later, they discover a second station surveilling the first. The Swan was just a psychological experiment, we learn, and the button does nothing. It’s a good twist and is consistent with the show’s running theme of everyone conning each other.
Until, that is, while on an unrelated adventure, the characters stumble on that second station’s surveillance logs, dumped in the wilderness. These are unread and untouched because it turns out this station, not the Swan, served no function other than as a psychological experiment. The Swan is real. And now, we get to see what happens when its occupants skip pushing the button. As with every good Lost climax, it involves a big boom.
8
The Unlisted Passenger
A few episodes in, the characters realize one among them isn’t a passenger from their crashed plane, which means there were others on the island before they arrived. Let’s highlight one skillful touch around how the show sets this twist up.
As fascinating as it might have been to have this “Other” be a major character from the start, that was impossible. So, the show had to introduce a new character, the disturbing villain named Ethan Rom (William Mapother), who tells us he was one of the background survivors, then pulls the rug out and reveals he actually was not. To make this convincing, one episode before his introduction, they introduce a different new character and tell us he is one of the background survivors. He’s never seen again, but he serves his purpose, tricking us into thinking background survivors will be stepping forward regularly.
7
Jin delivers a panda
Several Season 4 episodes show us flash-forwards of what characters do when they escape the Island. One focuses on the husband-and-wife duo Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and Sun (Yunjin Kim). We see Sun rushing to the hospital to give birth, and we see Jin rushing as well, struggling to buy a plush panda on the way to the maternity ward. At the end, we learn these scenes aren’t concurrent at all. Jin’s scenes are flashbacks, covering some routine work chores for an unrelated birth. In the flash forward, Sun gives birth alone, and then she visits Jin’s grave.
The scenes that reveal the twist are a series of shocks. We see Jin arrive at one hospital and Sun go into labor in another one at presumably the same time. Jin has (we conclude) returned to his old workaholic ways, skipping the birth of his own child. Then, when someone comments on him having a child of his own, he says, “Don’t rush me. I’ve only been married two months.” This reveals that the scene takes place just two months into his and Sun’s marriage, but we don’t understand it at first. We still think this is a flash-forward. For a moment, it sounds like, in the future, he has abandoned Sun and is two months into a new marriage. When we learn the truth that Jin will die without ever leaving the Island, it’s sad but still somehow a relief.
6
Michael resolves matters with Ana
The underrated Lost character Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez) gets a couple of different episodes with flashbacks showing her backstory. One is about a quest for revenge that ends in killing, and in the present storyline, she considers killing Ben (Michael Emerson), one of the Others who terrorized her. Another survivor, Michael (Harold Perrineau), offers to take on that burden himself. Then, for no clear reason, Michael shoots her dead. Another character (Cynthia Watros) enters, and he kills her, too. Then he sets Ben free. Finally, he shoots himself.
It’s shocking because, in seconds, the show killed off half the new cast it added this season. It’s also surprising because Michael was probably the most normal character in this show that’s full of strange happenings. And it’s startling because some of us misunderstood the last part of the scene. Michael wasn’t killing himself but faking an injury — which actually was supposed to be obvious, but it all went by so quickly, and back in 2006, we had no way of rewinding.
5
Jack meets Kate
Season 3’s finale appears to be a flashback episode focusing on Jack (Matthew Fox), a drunken mess. He makes an appointment, and it turns out to be with Kate (Evangeline Lilly). Much like with the Sun and Jin birth episode, we spend a few seconds stunned over a totally wrong conclusion: Apparently, despite everything we’ve been told, Jack and Kate knew each other before they came to the Island.
As they talk, we realize the truth, which makes more sense and is an even better twist. This is not a flashback at all, but a flash-forward. As for the plot implications of the twist (some survivors really do escape the Island, they wish they’d never left, and they have to go back), that’s interesting too, though it’s a clear rip-off of the 1978 TV movie Rescue from Gilligan’s Island.
4
The bad twin
During one minor scene, a character reads a manuscript titled “Bad Twin,” written by someone named Gary Troup. Eagle-eyed viewers realized “Gary Troup” is an anagram of “purgatory,” which surely meant something. As for the bad twin, Lost years later would end up pulling its own evil twin twist. We’d spend a season watching a character who appears to be the resurrected John Locke (Terry O’Quinn). In the end, it would turn out to be a different character, an evil lookalike. This lookalike, known as the Man in Black, is also a literal evil twin, brother to the Island’s protector, Jacob.
This twist comes after a season or more of clues too numerous to list here and resolves the show’s oldest mystery. This Man in Black is the Smoke Monster who has spooked the characters since the very first episode. Like Lost’s best twists, this mixes surprise with tragedy. Locke, whom we’d been celebrating as having come back to life, is revealed to be truly dead. In fact, if you watch the show, every season finale after the first one arguably ends with the surprise revelation that John Locke is dead.
3
A book club on the Island
Season 2’s first scene shows a man’s morning routine: making a smoothie and working at a computer. The scene ends with the surprise revelation that he is actually on the Island. Season 3’s opener hits the same beats but goes up a notch. Now, we see an entire suburban community living happily and hosting a book club meeting. Then we see a plane split apart in the air and realize this is the Island, despite the modern houses and modern people.
The Season 2 opener is the better scene, but if we have to pick one as the better plot twist, it’s the book club. Earlier, some viewers theorized a mysterious hatch on the Island led to some sort of scientific installation, perhaps like the computer room we eventually see, but no one dreamed the Island had houses with working ovens where neighbors bake muffins. This now prompted a theory that Season 4 would reveal yet another corner of the Island, this one with skyscrapers and an international airport.
2
A funeral gathering
Viewers early on theorized that Lost would end by revealing the characters had been dead the whole time. As the show went on, episodes referenced the theory repeatedly, sometimes mocking it. The theory wasn’t true, of course, and we see characters travel back and forth between the Island and the outside world. And yet, Lost‘s final episode does give us a dead-all-along twist in its very last moments, somehow managing to surprise the very viewers who’d predicted something like this years before.
If the show ended by confirming the original theory (the passengers died in the crash and the Island is purgatory), that would have been stupid and nonsensical. Instead, the final season shows us a series of scenes in Los Angeles, an apparent parallel universe where events for the characters played out differently. Only at the end do we realize the show has once again pulled a flash-forward twist on us. Everything else we saw in the show was real and happened to the characters during their lives, but these final flashes were flash-forwards to them reuniting in the afterlife after dying. The flashes served the same purpose as the show’s original flashbacks: to explore how different the characters’ lives were when they didn’t have each other. And once again, a twist blends surprise with tragedy. The characters, in the show’s final moments, are happy because they remember and have found each other, but us? We’re left grappling with how there’s no alternate timeline where they all live happily ever after. Every character we saw die really did die, and it turns out they’re fine with that.
1
Locke’s miracle
Lost’s best twist is perhaps its simplest. It’s a story with a twist ending, all told within a single episode, with no other context necessary. On the Island, we follow this Locke character, who got up after the crash, jumped into action, and now leads the survivors hunting. In flashbacks, we see him work at an office, lie down at home, and plan an Australian walkabout. In the final flashback, he’s in a wheelchair. He’s paralyzed from the waist down, and though we didn’t realize it, he has been for all the previous flashbacks as well. That means when he’s running around on the Island, that results from him having miraculously regained the use of his legs after the crash.
Naturally, this twist sets up a lot to come, but it’s also surprising what it does not set up. You would expect, when you first watch this episode, that Locke’s spinal injury and healing will eventually be revealed to Jack, the spinal surgeon. In reality, the two never discuss the matter, not at any point in their lives. The twist also offers some guidance whenever you start a new show. If you’re unsure, at least watch until the fourth episode. There’s always the chance episode 4 will blow your mind.

The Bayou Barbie is no longer just a nickname; it’s officially a reality. Mattel has unveiled a new Barbie doll inspired by WNBA superstar Angel Reese, turning her iconic moniker into a collectible. The collaboration celebrates Reese’s impact across sports, business, fashion, and culture while encouraging the next generation of girls to dream big and embrace their limitless potential.
The new Angel Reese Signature Barbie debuts today, July 24, and comes in Barbie pink attire with a matching basketball. The doll also has matching Angel Reese 1 basketball shoes, which will officially launch in early August 2026.
“Barbie honors role models who inspire girls to imagine what’s possible. From her on-court achievements and entrepreneurial leadership to her tireless advocacy for girls, Angel Reese is helping children see that confidence, ambition, and resilience can open countless doors. We’re proud to honor her through our Barbie Signature doll and collaboration with Reebok, giving fans new ways to celebrate Angel and all she represents,” said Nathan Baynard, Vice President and Head of Barbie, Mattel.
Having A Barbie Is A ‘Dream Come True’ For Angel Reese
Reese’s star has only continued to rise since entering the WNBA. During her rookie season, the LSU alum teamed up with Reese’s to launch a limited-edition merchandise collection and even landed on her own cereal box. Now, she can add another milestone to her growing list of accomplishments: becoming a Barbie.
“Having my own Barbie doll is a true dream come true for me. It’s such an incredible honor because it’s about showing girls that there are no limits to what they can achieve,” she said. “I’ve never let anyone else define what’s possible for me, and every challenge I’ve faced has only made me stronger. I hope this doll reminds girls to be unapologetically themselves, embrace every part of who they are, and go after their dreams with confidence.”
Angel Reese Has A Barbie-Themed Sneaker Coming
To celebrate Reese’s new Barbie doll, Reebok is also releasing a matching sneaker in a Barbie-inspired color (featured on the doll), which was built to match Reese’s on-court dominance and culture-driving presence off it.
The new AR1 “Barbie” shoes feature pink color accents and co-branded elements on the tongue and sockliner in both adult and kids’ sizing.
“We’re proud to see her Barbie doll debut wearing Angel Reese 1 basketball shoes in this vibrant new Barbie colorway and to bring that same style directly to fans,” said Todd Krinsky, CEO of Reebok. “This moment celebrates Angel’s impact on sport, style, and culture while giving fans the chance to match Angel’s iconic look and be part of the moment.”
Reese Is Launching Her Barbie During All-Star Weekend
Barbie teamed up with Reebok to debut Reese’s Signature Barbie doll and matching AR1 sneakers at TOGETHXR House in Chicago during All-Star Weekend. TOGETHXR is the fastest-growing women’s sports media company, of which Reese is a co-owner.
“Women’s sports are driving culture like never before, and this collaboration is proof of what’s possible when iconic brands invest in the athletes leading that movement. At TOGETHXR, we’re proud to bring together partners like Barbie and Reebok with trailblazers like Angel Reese, who recently joined our ownership group, to create moments that celebrate the power and influence of women’s sports,” said Bailey Williamson, TOGETHXR Senior Vice President.
Williamson added, “We’re thrilled that TOGETHXR House is where fans will experience this launch firsthand. It’s more than a product release. It’s a celebration of confidence, individuality and the growing influence of women athletes across sport, style and culture, while showing the next generation just how expansive the future can be.”
Reese Said Getting Her Own Barbie Is ‘Surreal’
Reese spoke with PEOPLE about her new collaboration and called it a “full-circle moment.”
“…Barbie is an iconic brand, and to be part of that legacy is something I’m really proud of. It’s bigger than basketball for me. It’s about inspiring young girls to dream big, be confident, and know they can be exactly who they are,” she said.
For Reese, seeing herself as a Barbie “was surreal,” and she praised the brand for getting her Signature doll just right.” What impressed me most was how thoughtfully every detail was brought to life,” she said.
She added, “What I love most is that it doesn’t just look like me; it truly feels like me. My doll reflects both my love of basketball and fashion because I’ve always believed you never have to choose between being fierce on the court and expressing who you are off it. Seeing every little detail come together made this incredibly personal, and it was one of those moments where everything I’ve worked so hard for really hit me.”
General Hospital found a way to write off a central character after the actor’s exit from the show.
During the Thursday, July 23, episode of General Hospital, Cody (Josh Kelly) told Molly (Kristen Vaganos) that Maxie (Kirsten Storms), Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) and their kids were moving to Australia.
Maxie also left her Deception shares to Michael (Rory Gibson) amid Lucy (Lynn Herring) and Tracy’s (Jane Elliot) battle for them.
TV Insider reported that Storms, 42, is not currently part of the active General Hospital cast. She previously returned to the show earlier this year when Maxie woke up from a coma. Storms hadn’t played the character in several months amid offscreen changes, including her move to Nashville following her split from ex-husband Brandon Barash.
All good things must come to an end, even when it comes to TV. Over the years, many television stars have suddenly left their roles — while others have been cut from a series without much notice. Anna Faris announced in September 2020 that she was leaving CBS’ Mom after starring as the lead character […]
The former couple, who share daughter Harper, 12, divorced in 2016 after three years of marriage. Barash filed for custody of Harper in December 2025, and months later, he filed for an emergency restraining order against Storms amid concerns for her mental health.
A judge granted the request after Barash claimed that he feared for their daughter’s well-being. Storms broke her silence on the legal drama with her ex with a social media statement shared in June.
“Moving to Tennessee, as a single mom who lives alone 50 [percent] of the time, with a newly discovered brain aneurysm … well, I don’t think I need to explain how upsetting this entire situation has been for me,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories.
Storms continued, “Realizing that not only was my apartment/space/privacy being violated, but this person also gained access to my WiFi and cellphone. I haven’t been online much because of how the circumstances have been twisted into something that it shouldn’t be. This has been a very serious thing for me to go through.”
Storms has also battled health issues, taking a leave of absence from General Hospital in 2025 to undergo brain surgery. Amid the ups and downs in her personal life, Storms gave an update on her future with General Hospital.
It is never easy to unexpectedly say goodbye to your favorite characters — and 2026 has featured an influx of shocking departures on our TV screens from Grey’s Anatomy to Virgin River. Virgin River fans were surprised when showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed multiple characters were written off the show after season 7. Marco Grazzini addressed […]
“Given what’s been going on, I can’t say I will feel comfortable heading back to Los Angeles and returning to work,” she wrote via Instagram in June. “This has been an eye opening experience about the downside of my profession. My daughter is my entire life, she is (and always will be) my first priority.”
One month later, Storms debuted a new look and hinted at her move away from Hollywood. “Despite everything that’s been going on in my life right now (…and I will be honest, it’s more than upsetting) – I still feel that the move to Tennessee was the best choice for me,” she captioned an Instagram post, adding that “LA never felt like my real home.”
Adrien Broner has been locked in with DeenTheGreat for their 45-day “Locked In-A-Thon,” where the two have been livestreaming around the clock. Throughout the challenge, they’ve been putting in work in the gym and showing off their weight-loss transformations. Broner has even stopped drinking alcohol as he stays committed to the journey.
Despite the lifestyle changes, the pair have still been stepping out to parties alongside fellow creators and plenty of beautiful women. Now, it looks like Broner has found himself making headlines for another reason after being hit with a lawsuit.

Adrien Broner, Deen The Great & Kick Named In Lawsuit Alleging Sexual Battery, Assault, Defamation & More
On Thursday, reports surfaced that Adrien Broner is being accused in a new lawsuit. According to TMZ, a woman named Havana Saint claims she became too intoxicated after an after-party and stayed at Broner’s home. She alleges Broner repeatedly pressured her to engage in sexual acts after she repeatedly told him “no.” Adding that she preferred women.
Saint claims she returned to Broner’s home the following day, where he allegedly became upset that they had not been intimate. She alleges Broner tried to drag her upstairs, but she refused again. A few days later, she says they crossed paths at a livestream content house, where Broner allegedly took her back to his home and again pressured her to have sex.
Saint further alleges that after refusing Broner again, he poured ice water on her during a livestream, leaving her humiliated and emotionally distressed. She maintains that she and Broner never had a sexual relationship, despite his allegedly claiming otherwise.
Saint is also suing DeenTheGreat, real name Nurideen Shabaz, accusing him of falsely stating that she had slept with several people at the content house. The lawsuit names Broner and DeenTheGreat, alleging defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She’s also suing the streaming platform Kick for negligence.
Social Media Reacts
Folks gathered across the internet to react to the lawsuit against Adrien Broner in TSR Teens’ comment section. Some said they saw it coming based on his past livestream behavior. Others felt Broner was being unfairly targeted by the industry.

Here’s How Adrien Broner Found Out He Was Being Sued During A Kick Stream
While Adrien Broner was live on Kick with DeenTheGreat, viewers began spamming the comments with “TMZ.” Deen questioned the chat, saying, “I don’t think they’d be spamming that if everything was good.”
Moments later, Broner was shown a report about the lawsuit accusing him of sexual battery. He laughed and walked away.
Broner later addressed the lawsuit on Instagram, “If these fake allegations go start all cause people think I’m rich again and trying to get money from me I will stop streaming today cause none of this was going on when I was just down and out and I was still behaving the same.”
He captioned the post, “Money the root of all EVIL #ALLEGATIONS.”

What Do You Think Roomies?
Prime Video has unveiled the first official trailer for Blade Runner 2099, giving fans their first extended look at the highly anticipated television continuation of Ridley Scott’s legendary sci-fi universe. Starring Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, the series arrives this November and promises to expand the franchise with a new mystery set decades after the events of Blade Runner 2049.
Set 50 years after Denis Villeneuve’s acclaimed 2017 sequel, Blade Runner 2099 takes audiences back to Los Angeles in a world where replicants have dramatically altered the balance of power. Humanity no longer sits at the top of society, creating a fresh backdrop for a noir-inspired story filled with conspiracies, identity, and survival.
Hunter Schafer stars as Cora, a fugitive who assumes the identity of a Blade Runner in an effort to secure a future for her brother. Alongside her is Olwen, played by Michelle Yeoh, a replicant Blade Runner nearing the end of her lifespan. Together, they pursue a mysterious runaway whose secrets could reshape the fragile future of Los Angeles.

The series is created by Silka Luisa, with Ridley Scott and Michael Green serving as executive producers, ensuring the new chapter remains deeply connected to the films that inspired it. Visually, the trailer embraces the franchise’s signature neon-soaked atmosphere while introducing a brighter yet equally unsettling version of the dystopian future.
After years of anticipation, Blade Runner 2099 looks poised to deliver another thought-provoking entry in one of science fiction’s most influential franchises when all eight episodes premiere exclusively on Prime Video this November.

1. Our Favorite: You’ll look like you put a whole lot of thought into your outfit when you throw on this shirt-style maxi dress. The cinched waist and button-up collar give it structure without compromising comfort.
2. Short and Sweet: It’s all about the waistline with this mini collared shirtdress that hugs the body before flaring out at the skirt. Style it just right, and you can wear it for more occasions than you think.
3. Easy Eyelet: You’ll notice eyelet detailing on tons of Dôen pieces, and this cap-sleeve knee-length dress hits the nail on the head. You might have a hard time convincing people it didn’t cost three figures, though.
4. Smartly Smocked: Designed with a stretchy smocked bodice, this sleeveless midi dress fits to your body in the most comfortable way. I love the range of color options that appeal to whatever mood I’m in.
5. Perfectly Puffed: The volume up top balances out the longer skirt, making this flowy puffed-sleeved dress a winner. It comes in nearly 20 colors, too, so good luck narrowing it down.
I must admit I’ve been slow to hop on the revived capris trend. However, once I slipped into my first pair, I was completely hooked. Capri pants are great for casual summer days or nights spent out on the town, making them as easy piece to wear all season. And, the fashion forecasters predict they’ll […]
6. Gorgeous Gingham: Something about gingham really completes a summer look, and this sleeveless maxi dress does it beautifully. I appreciate the scoop neckline, breezy fabric and cinched-in waist for maximum flattery.
7. Must-Have Maxi: This sleeveless maxi dress has everything you need: an A-line silhouette, a stand-out print and stretchy waistband. Pair it with your favorite sandals, heels or even sneakers.
8. Lovely Lace: Between the chiffon-like fabric and lace detailing, this spaghetti-strap maxi dress gives serious romantic vibes. Plus, the straps are adjustable, and the bust is smocked, which are elements that are always appreciated.
9. Fabulous Flutter: With lace detailing up top and an A-line skirt, this sweet mini dress is anything but boring. The flutter sleeves, ruffles and dainty bow are the finishing touches on a super feminine option.
10. Real Ruffled: As if this tiered midi dress couldn’t get any better, the sleeves actually have adorable ruffles on the hem. It’s one dress you can throw on for a casual lunch or a dressy baby shower.
11. Flower Power: You’ll stay cool for the rest of summer when you opt for this sleeveless boho-style number. The floral print screams ‘Dôen’ but reasonable price is much more doable.
12. Date Night-Ready: Switch up your usual Friday night attire with a satin-like maxi dress. This pick has lace detailing at the neckline for a cool contrast.
13. Fashionably Flowy: Whether you wear it as a daytime dress or swimsuit cover-up this short-sleeve mini is as easy as throwing on a T-shirt. The cotton-and-linen blend is comfortable, especially when paired with the relaxed silhouette and smocked detailing.

Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck’s mother, Chris, has died less than one year after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chris died on June 2 after receiving her diagnosis in December 2025. An obituary published via The Boston Globe revealed that Chris was given six months to live.
“Her greatest wish after her diagnosis, however, was to live to see her grandson graduate high school,” the obit reads. “She did so, attending with her family on May 31, 2026. She died peacefully, in her sleep, two days later.”
Chris was born in New York City in 1942. She graduated from Harvard University and spent more than three decades as a public school teacher, retiring in 2008. Chris is survived by sons Ben, 53, and Casey, 50, whom she shared with ex-husband Timothy Affleck, as well as her five grandchildren.
Hollywood mourned the deaths of some of its most legendary stars in 2026. The year started off with Broadway performer and influencer Bret Hanna-Shuford’s death at age 46. At the end of the month, comedy acting icon Catherine O’Hara died at age 71. In February, Dawson’s Creek actor James Van Der Beek died at age […]
After her retirement, Chris volunteered on the Barack Obama campaign trail and became an organizer with the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine. She was also a founding board member of the Sustainable Cape project in Truro, Massachusetts.

From the early days of his Hollywood career, Ben had the support of his mother, who helped him get in touch with casting director Patty Collins, her former college roommate.
Chris attended the 1998 Oscars with her son and Matt Damon when their movie Good Will Hunting was nominated for nine awards, winning Best Original Screenplay. (The late Robin Williams also won Best Supporting Actor.)
A Boston boy through and through. Ben Affleck has been a Hollywood A-lister for more than two decades, but he’s never forgotten his New England roots (or his love of Dunkin’ coffee). Born in Berkeley, California, the avid Red Sox fan moved to Massachusetts with his family when he was just 3 years old. He […]
“We were sitting next to our moms and we won, and we kind of hugged our moms. I remember how everyone had made such a big thing out of it as if this was such a novelty,” Ben recalled in an interview with Vanity Fair. “I remember thinking, being insecure, like, ‘Why? Why is it weird that we’re bringing our moms?’ Who else do you think we would bring?”
Casey has also reflected on his mother’s role in his own career, telling Boston Magazine in 2006 that Chris was “really supportive” of his acting endeavors.
As their stars continued to rise, both Ben and Casey earned Oscars of their own. Ben’s movie Argo won Best Picture in 2012, while Casey took home Best Actor in 2017 for his role in Manchester by the Sea.
Neither Ben nor Casey have spoken publicly about the death of their mother.

The disgraced rapper is slated for release in February 2028.
Diddy was reportedly placed in solitary confinement at a federal prison after an alleged fight with another inmate.

Diddy Reportedly In Solitary Confinement Following Fight At Fort Dix
On Friday, July 24, TMZ reported that the 56-year-old got into an argument with another inmate at FCI Fort Dix in Trenton, New Jersey. The incident reportedly occurred sometime this week. However, the exact date remains unclear.
The inmate allegedly “dissed” the artist, and things got physical. The two men reportedly pushed each other before throwing hands, and Diddy allegedly “held his own” until the prison staff stopped the fight.
TMZ shared a statement from the Federal Bureau of Prisons noting that it doesn’t provide inmate information to the public.
“We are not at liberty to disclose or provide internal information pertaining to any inmate in our custody. Such information would not be available for the public domain,” reads the statement, adding that it doesn’t comment on “disciplinary matters, or other information regarding individual inmates due to privacy, safety, and security concerns.”
Social Media Reacts!
After the news was shared via TSR’s Instagram page, reactions in the comment section were fast and furious. As fans added their two cents, an unlikely culprit was blamed for the Diddy drama.
Instagram user @official_delight147 wrote, “Baby Oil caused the fight.”
Instagram user @moreofbiancaa_ wrote, “Someone was out of baby oil 😢.”
User @nasirxsparksher joked, “They was fighting over petroleum jelly and Benadryl.”
@montellforbes joked, “Diddy win?.”
@danielwho92 asked, “Did he oil up before the fight?.”
User @his_just_in_ added, “I wanna say something but it’s sooooo inappropriate and it’s about time I grow up 😢😩.”
@rainyontherocks concluded, “I broke my ankle running to these comments 😭😭😭.”
Others wondered if the mayhem would extend Puffy’s release date. @ms.qlove wrote, “Oldest trick in the book😂 You catch a charge you mess up your parole date.”
Puffy Is Reportedly Scheduled For Release In 2028
The Bad Boy Records founder was sentenced to four years in prison following his 2025 sex trafficking trial. He was also fined $500,000 for two counts of transportation with the intent to engage in prostitution.
Video footage of Diddy beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, was released by CNN in 2024 after she filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the artist for sexual assault.
The singer testified that Diddy forced her to participate in drug-fueled sex parties with male prostitutes called “freak-offs” requiring large amounts of baby oil.
It’s unclear if the music mogul’s latest mayhem will alter his release date.
