First ‘Percy Jackson’ Season 3 Footage Brings “The Titan’s Curse” to Life
Percy Jackson and the Olympians returned to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con with one of Disney’s biggest television presentations of the convention. As anticipation continues to build for Season 3, the cast and creative team took the stage to offer fans a closer look at the adaptation of The Titan’s Curse, the third novel in Rick Riordan‘s bestselling fantasy series. The upcoming season marks a major turning point for the Disney+ series, expanding the world beyond Camp Half-Blood further while introducing some of the franchise’s most beloved characters.
Following the success of the show’s first two seasons, fans have been eager for their first real look at what’s in store when Percy Jackson returns. Ahead of the panel, Disney teased exclusive footage, new character reveals, and a preview of the adventures awaiting the young demigods. That promise made the presentation one of the most anticipated television events of the weekend, with many hoping Hall H would finally deliver the first footage from the upcoming season. Disney ultimately did just that, offering attendees an extended preview that sets the stage for Percy’s next quest.
Disney Unveils the Opening Minutes of ‘Percy Jackson’ Season 3
Disney debuted the opening minutes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 during the Hall H panel, giving fans their first look at the adaptation of The Titan’s Curse. The footage opens with Thalia Grace (Tamara Smart) walking alone through rain-soaked streets decorated for Christmas before making her way into a dimly lit parking garage. There, she confronts a towering blue monster that attacks her with blasts of fire. As the battle unfolds, Thalia repeatedly demands to know where Luke is, continuing one of the show’s central conflicts after Luke Castellan aligned himself with Kronos. Before the fight can turn against her, Percy (Walker Scobell) arrives and uses his water powers to burst a nearby water line, helping Thalia defeat the creature. He immediately asks her to join him on a mission to find Grover, but she’s surprised he even wants her on the team. While the exact circumstances differ from the opening of Riordan’s novel, the search for Grover appears to be one of the first major objectives of the new season.
Annabeth (Leah Jeffries) soon emerges from the shadows and attempts to convince Thalia to put their differences aside for the sake of rescuing two missing half-bloods. Percy and Annabeth quickly begin debating whether Thalia should accompany them, highlighting the uneasy dynamic between Zeus’ daughter and Poseidon’s son. Although both are children of the Big Three, they’ve rarely seen eye to eye since Thalia’s return. During the panel, Smart playfully described their rivalry as “generational beef,” and the footage shows exactly what she meant. Rather than wait for the argument to end, Thalia hotwires a nearby car and speeds away, bringing the preview to an abrupt close.
The footage suggests the Disney+ series will remain closely tied to Riordan’s source material, even if it reshuffles some of the novel’s earliest events. Following the preview, Scobell described Season 3 as the “most book accurate” season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians yet. Executive producer Dan Shotz echoed that sentiment, explaining that the creative team constantly references Riordan’s novels throughout production and that the books serve as a guide to faithfully bring the story to life on screen.

Saucy Santana & Deshae Frost Run From Apparent Alligator (Vid)
Oop! Roomies, Saucy Santana and Deshae Frost have internet users crackin’ UP after running from an apparent alligator during a recent livestream.

Saucy Santana & Deshae Frost Ran From Apparent Alligator During Livestream
On Wednesday, July 22, Deshare Frost published footage from his recent livestream with Saucy Santana via YouTube. About four minutes into the 43-minute-long footage, Frost explained that they would retrieve their food and fish from the nearby creek.
Then, in a second video published via YouTube, the pair got to work, setting up their grill and campfire. However, around the 52-minute mark, Santana decided to teach Frost “how to catch an alligator.” As Frost waded into the water, Santana motioned for him to be quiet. Nonetheless, the pair began joking about Frost being baptized in the creek water. This, when Santana apparently heard a sound, quickly motioned for everyone to be quiet again.
“Okay, now look, pay attention,” Santana told Frost. “Look right here… you see that alligator? When it get close, we finna get out the water, okay?”
As Frost laughed, Santana explained that it wasn’t time for jokes and instructed the streamer to “watch the ripples” in the water. At that point, both Santana and Frost noticed bubbles on the water’s surface.
“Oh, that is an alligator!” Frost said.
Peep the clip of them immediately fleeing the scene below.

Howard University Addresses Backlash To Enrollment Update
Howard University is stepping to the mic after viral tweets accusing it of displacing up to 500 students ahead of the fall semester. News of the enrollment update began circulating late Wednesday (July 22). By Thursday, the talks had escalated, with weigh-ins from students, alumni, and even high-profile figures like Pastor Jamal Bryant. Howard is now clarifying the switch-up and the next steps students can take. The fall semester will begin on August 17.

Posts About Displaced Students Surface On Social Media
As mentioned, social media was already going in on Howard hours before its Office of Communications dropped a statement. Threads, in particular, was popping off with reactions. While some reactions showed empathy for students, others explained that the enrollment update is a standard procedure. Others insisted that the update sparked a host of other issues for students and their families.
Pastor Jamal Bryant Joins Viral Howard Talk
Pastor Jamal Bryant, a Morehouse alum, is one of the first celebrities to publicly address the situation at Howard University. Taking to Threads, he shared prayers for the students and called on other HBCUs to step in.
“My heart and prayers going out to the 500 students displaced by Howard university … trying to see what HBCUs can help take them. We can’t let the spirits of these young scholars be broken 🙏🏾,” Bryant wrote.
Howard University Office Of Communications Says Students Were Warned
On Thursday, the Howard University Office of Communications addressed the ongoing backlash concerning their enrollment changes. The statement went live on its news hub, The Dig, and opened with acknowledging how “difficult and disappointing” the update was for students and their families. Then, the second bolded sentence explains the timeline of warnings impacted students received, beginning in March.
“Howard University provided multiple detailed communications throughout March, April, May, June, and July to first-time-in-college students and families on steps needed to secure enrollment for the fall 2026 semester,” the statement read. “Notifications included emails, personalized financial aid information, videos, and Bison Prep sessions—to help incoming students understand tuition payment requirements, payment plan options, the process for reporting outside scholarships, and the deadlines necessary to secure their enrollment.”
So what happened? Well, according to Howard University, the students who didn’t meet the payment expectations or the reporting deadline for scholarships and other financial aid got the boot. Or, as the statement said, “were notified that the University [could] no longer hold their place in the incoming class.”
In the meantime, Howard University will be reviewing information about “anticipated scholarship funding and other financial aid.” Additionally, it “will
consider relevant circumstances presented regarding pending scholarship awards and financial aid resources.”
Students who have questions can reach out to Howard University officials HERE.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Widow ‘Still In Shock’
Malcolm-Jamal Warner‘s widow, Tenisha Warner, is still trying to push forward following his sudden death in 2025. In a new interview, Tenisha revealed that she’s struggled to remember everything about the day the actor died because the pain is unbearable. Tenisha’s sit-down with Gayle King comes days after the widow sued Malcolm-Jamal’s mother for over $1 million.

Tenisha told King on “CBS Mornings” that moving forward since losing her husband has been a difficult journey and challenge. “The moments of the day, they occupy my body so deeply,” she said. “So it’s really hard for me to sort of relive what all of that was and to think about it because it just breaks me in a way that makes it hard for me to sort of stay steady.”
Tenisha went on to call the tragedy “the worst day of my life,” adding that losing her husband feels “unfair.” She said that since that moment, her focus has been primarily on her daughter. “And all I can think about was my daughter and what I needed to do to continue to be her mother. And be her only parent,” she said.
Why Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Widow Decided To Speak Out

Tenisha has stayed out of the spotlight since Malcolm-Jamal’s death in July 2025. She decided now was the perfect time to speak out after realizing that her husband, known for his role in “The Cosby Show,” had impacted many people.
“I often share with people that, yes, he was famous, but from my experience when people met him, they were not wowed by his fame, they were wowed by him,” she said. “People would come up and it wasn’t like, ‘Oh my goodness, you’re Malcolm…’ They’d be like, ‘You have touched my life in such a big way, you have no idea.’”
Malcolm-Jamal Warner Died After Drowning In Costa Rica

Malcolm-Jamal Warner died last year at the age of 54. His passing was described as asphyxiation by submersion, also known as drowning, and was deemed accidental, according to ABC 7.
The actor was swimming with his 8-year-old daughter in Costa Rica when they began struggling in the water.
According to the news, local surfers dived into the water to help bring them both to safety. Once back on land, Malcolm-Jamal received 45 minutes of CPR before being pronounced dead.
Malcolm-Jamal’s Widow Sues His Mother
Days before speaking out, Tenisha made headlines after suing her late husband’s mom, Pamela Warner, over a prenuptial agreement that had allegedly not been fulfilled.
According to The Blast, Tenisha claimed in her lawsuit that she is owed $1.2 million but didn’t receive what she was supposed to due to his death.
Tenisha is suing Pamela, the trustee of Malcolm-Jamal’s trust, and arguing that the family trust should be responsible for what she says her husband owed under their prenup.
The legal documents ask the court to decide whether the trust is legally required to fulfill those alleged obligations.
In the legal documents, Tenisha also said that she’s attempted to settle their disputes out of court for over a year but has been unsuccessful.
“I have been struggling to care for our daughter as a single mom and now as her sole provider. Legally, I had no choice but to take action to protect our rights before any potential statute of limitations expired,” Tenisha said in court.
Raven-Symoné Breaks Silence On Malcolm-Jamal’s Death

Malcolm-Jamal’s sudden passing impacted more than just his wife, considering Hollywood greats posted powerful tributes after learning of the news.
His “Cosby Show” co-star, Raven-Symoné, shared an emotional message on social media shortly after, captioning the post, “I love you.”
The post, which was a video of her reflecting on her relationship with the actor, featured a touching message honoring his life and legacy.
“Words cannot describe the pain and the sadness and surprise that I feel with the recent loss of MJW,” the “Raven’s Home” actress said. “He was the big brother, he was a beacon, he was one of the most multifaceted, talented men. So gentle, and my heart and soul and hugs and kisses go out to his daughter and his wife and his mother.”

Rosie O’Donnell Says Her $90K Facelift Was A Feminist Statement
Rosie O’Donnell is opening up about the internal conflict she faced before undergoing a reported $90,000 facelift following her dramatic weight loss. The 64-year-old comedian revealed that she initially questioned whether cosmetic surgery aligned with her feminist beliefs. However, Rosie O’Donnell ultimately concluded that feminism also meant having the freedom to make decisions about her own appearance.

O’Donnell reportedly underwent a deep plane facelift in January after losing 60 pounds while taking Mounjaro. While promoting her one-woman stage show, “Common Knowledge,” the former talk show host admitted that she initially viewed facelifts as a response to societal expectations placed on women. “I had to wrestle with myself because as a feminist I always felt [facelifts were a response to] the male gaze and not anything I believe in,” O’Donnell told PEOPLE.
According to the comedian, her 13-year-old nonbinary child, Clay, also questioned what the procedure might communicate to those who view her as a role model. “Mommy, girls look up to you. What does your legacy stand for if you do this?” Clay reportedly asked.
O’Donnell eventually decided that undergoing the procedure did not contradict her values. Instead, she described bodily autonomy as central to feminism, explaining, “The real power of feminism [is] to decide what we want to do with our bodies and when.”

O’Donnell’s decision marked a significant departure from comments she made several years earlier about aging in Hollywood. During a 2021 interview with Vulture, the “And Just Like That” actress said she intentionally planned to avoid plastic surgery because she believed her natural appearance would help her secure more character-driven roles later in life.
“I always knew as an actress that when I got into my 60s I would be playing the [Geraldine Page] roles,” she explained at the time. “I wasn’t going to have plastic surgery. I was going to look the way a woman my age should look, and I always thought that would be a blessing in my older age. I would get to play the [Colleen Dewhurst] roles. That has turned out to be true. I’m getting all this acting work now that I’m closing in on 60.”
Five years later, O’Donnell appears to have reconsidered that position after her substantial weight loss changed the appearance of her face.
Her Weight Loss Influenced The Cosmetic Procedure

O’Donnell reportedly became frustrated when people repeatedly told her that she appeared unhappy, even when she felt content.
The facial sagging she experienced after losing 60 pounds contributed to her decision to seek cosmetic work. The procedure reportedly restored volume, reduced visible sagging around her face and jawline, and gave the actress an added confidence boost.
Although her reasoning has attracted scrutiny, O’Donnell did not attempt to hide the surgery or credit her altered appearance to skincare, dieting, or other less invasive measures.
Rosie O’Donnell’s Facelift Explanation Draws Criticism

A Daily Mail columnist criticized O’Donnell for presenting the procedure as a feminist decision, arguing that the comedian could have simply admitted she wanted to change her appearance after losing weight. The commentary also contrasted O’Donnell’s explanation with Ricki Lake’s approach to cosmetic surgery.
Lake publicly disclosed that she underwent a deep plane lower face and neck lift in 2024 after losing 40 pounds. The former talk show host recently marked the second anniversary of her surgery by sharing before-and-after images and publicly thanking her surgeon.
While both women acknowledged undergoing cosmetic work after substantial weight loss, the columnist argued that Lake discussed her decision without attaching a broader political or ideological message to it. O’Donnell, however, appears to view the choice through the lens of her long-held beliefs about women, aging, and autonomy.
Rosie O’Donnell’s Long-Running Feud With Donald Trump

O’Donnell’s facelift comments come as she continues navigating another highly public chapter of her life: her decades-long feud with President Donald Trump. The comedian moved to Ireland shortly after Trump’s second inauguration, a decision she has connected to the country’s political climate.
Despite relocating across the Atlantic, O’Donnell has continued speaking openly about the president and the effect she believes their longstanding conflict has on him. “I think I trigger him like a PTSD response of all his failures in his life as a kid,” she told Variety.
