Bradley Carter is opening up about the dynamic between Leva Bonaparte and the Southern Hospitality cast.
“I think, from my experience, sometimes when you are growing, there are some growing pains and you can run into some people that are supportive, and maybe some people that aren’t so supportive,” Bradley, 29, exclusively told Us at his “Body by Brad” Keep It Moving workout tour on Saturday, August 22.
He continued, “I’ve never had an experience where Leva didn’t support me, but sometimes people have their priorities, and they’re just a little bit different than theirs, so. I think you will see all of that play out if we go into another season of Southern Hospitality.”
Leva, 47, became a fixture on Southern Charm spinoff Southern Hospitality in 2022, with the series following the staff of her Republic Garden & Lounge nightclub — including Bradley. The future of Southern Hospitality has since been up in the air amid rumors that the cast could be facing a shakeup, which could exclude Leva and her Charleston, South Carolina, nightclub.
While remaining tight-lipped about the future, Bradley told Us that fans should be “hopeful” about seeing a potential season 5 — one day.
“I think we should be hopeful,” he said. “I can say that. I definitely think we should be hopeful. I think that there’s a lot more going on than you guys know. I cannot confirm season 5, but I’m not going to say that it’s off the table.”
He continued, “We have a lot going on in Charleston, and hopefully you guys can smell this.”
Bradley shared that the cameras have “not been rolling,” but the group’s vibe is “in a better place” than where the cast was previously.
“I feel like the cast is coming together. Some people are still on the outside and some are on the inside. Hopefully we get a season 5 so you can find out,” he said.
For now, Bradley is enjoying kicking off the Keep It Moving tour at The Point in El Segundo, California.
“This is my passion. Working out to me is more than just a hobby. It’s truly a lifestyle, and for the Keep It Moving Tour, I wanted to bring something that I love and just pour it into other people,” he told Us. “So the workout itself is beginner friendly. It’s only 30 minutes long. Afterwards, we have a DJ, we hang out, we have a good time, we have some drinks, enjoy ourselves. Two of my favorite things to do: eat, drink. I guess the third would be working out. I like to bring all those together, bring people together, and create a nice event.”
Hayden Panettiere‘s estranged mother is speaking out about how the late actress allegedly treated the physical and emotional pain she was in prior to her shocking death.
“She was in pain,” Lesley Vogel told The New York Times in an article published on Sunday, August 23, recalling time she says she spent with Panettiere in Los Angeles one year ago. “She was afraid. She couldn’t physically function properly.”
Vogel claimed she took Panettiere to various doctors and tried massage and acupuncture treatments in an effort to treat the “pins in needles” feeling she had in her lower extremities, which made it difficult to work. The cause of Panettiere’s symptoms was unclear. The actress, however, wondered if it was connected to injuries she faced on various film sets as a child.
Fitness expert Marnie Alton began working with Panettiere in 2024 and told the outlet that the actress was working hard, both physically and mentally.
“She was a badass,” Alton told the outlet. “She was really smart. She kept fighting for her body because she felt like, ‘If I can get my strength back, I can get myself back.’”
News broke earlier this month that Panettiere died at age 36 in South Carolina. She is survived by Vogel, dad Skip Panettiere and her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, whom she welcomed with ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko.
While Hayden’s cause of death has not been confirmed, an autopsy has shown “no signs of trauma” that contributed to her passing. A local police report claimed that Hayden’s on-again, off-again ex Brian Hickerson and his brother, Zach, were present at the scene where she died.
“Hayden’s death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed,” Hickerson’s attorney Sloan Ellis told Us in a statement on Thursday, August 20. “As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play. Out of respect for Hayden’s loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time.”
One day later, Hickerson claimed to TMZ that he and his brother tried to save Hayden’s life.
“When we went in and tried to wake Hayden up for lunch, we realized she was unconscious,” he alleged on Friday, August 21. “I immediately called 911, and Brian gave her Narcan. We then jointly performed CPR while 911 was on speaker until Fire and EMS arrived. At that point, we watched as they tried every measure possible to save her life.”
Vogel, however, refuted the claims and told the Daily Mail on Saturday that she believes Brian is “culpable” for her daughter’s death.
Vogel further shed light on her daughter’s dynamic with Hickerson in The New York Times interview on Sunday, alleging that he had once pawned “some of” Hayden’s belongings, including a vintage guitar, prior to her death. Vogel also claimed that Hayden was “shocked” to find her possessions in Hickerson’s storage unit.
A second person, who spoke to The New York Times anonymously, confirmed that Hickerson had sold a handful of Hayden’s belongings. Us previously reached out to Hickerson for comment regarding claims he pawned her property.
Olivia Culpo is taking a moment to reflect on her body’s changes amid her second pregnancy.
“Growing bigger by the day and more proud of my body than ever,” Culpo, 34, wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday, August 23. “I’m in awe of its ability to carry and grow these little humans so close together! So incredibly grateful.”
Alongside the message, Culpo snapped a mirror selfie featuring the model in a two-piece brown set with a plunging neckline. Culpo gave a soft smile for the camera as she placed a hand on her growing stomach.
Culpo and her husband, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, welcomed their first child, daughter Colette, in 2025. After giving birth, Culpo reflected on how motherhood had changed her sense of style.
“When you’re a mom, you really do have to find ways to streamline your life,” Culpo exclusively told Us in December 2025. “You don’t have enough time to go through piles and piles of clothes, and you don’t want to — you want to spend time with your baby.”
She continued, “I find myself reaching for the same things — having more uniforms, if you will. It’s been a really great way to just simplify getting dressed. As a new mom, I definitely like to take the guesswork out of what to wear.”
Culpo announced in May that she and McCaffrey are expecting their second baby. In the Instagram reveal, Culpo gave McCaffrey a kiss as Colette sat in her lap beside a sonogram photo.
“Best birthday gift,” Culpo captioned the upload. “Baby #2 coming soon.”
While updating fans on her pregnancy in July, Culpo revealed that this time “feels different” yet somewhat similar to when she was expecting her daughter.
“I think I’m having a boy, [and] I think it’s going to look exactly like my brother, Gus [Culpo],” she speculated in the video. “I’ve actually been so emotional lately. Christian’s leaving for the season, [which] is so sad. Everything feels overwhelming.”
Olivia went on to explain that she plans to have a C-section again, explaining that a vaginal birth after cesarean “wasn’t an option.” (Doctors typically recommend waiting at least 18 to 24 months before attempting a VBAC after a C-section due to risk of uterine rupture.)
“I scheduled it on a day Christian has a slightly easier [day], basically it’s not an off-day for him,” Olivia said. “He’ll be able to come just for the birth and then, aside from that, he’ll have to go back. So, it’s going to be different than my first birth. I will be without my husband. I’m grateful for my village and large security detail team.”
Kim Zolciak‘s son Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr. made headlines after he was arrested on felony charges of aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual assault.
The alleged incident occurred at Lifetime Fitness on April 23. The minor female victim, who Us has chosen not to identify, reported an aggravated sexual battery and aggravated sodomy and was taken to the hospital. The alleged victim underwent a test and the results found no evidence of male DNA in her mouth or vagina, according to a police report obtained by Us.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star shares KJ with estranged husband Kroy Biermann. The pair, who tied the knot in 2011, welcomed son Kash and twins Kaia and Kane in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Biermann also adopted Zolciak’s two eldest daughters, Ariana and Brielle, from a previous relationship. The exes filed for divorce in 2023.
Scroll down for more details on what we know about the arrest:
KJ was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, on August 17, according to court records obtained by Us. A judge did not set bond, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for September 8. He is currently being held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center.
Zolciak spoke out about the arrest in a statement to Us on Friday, August 21.
“The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged,” Zolciak said. “My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed. Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.”
She continued, “False accusations can have devastating consequences not only for the person being accused, but also for genuine survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Every legitimate allegation deserves to be taken seriously and investigated based on the facts and evidence. At the same time, no one should be publicly condemned based solely on an accusation.”
Zolciak added, “We remain confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth, and we ask that people allow the proper process to take its course rather than spreading unproven allegations.”
Jason Sheffield, the attorney representing KJ, defended his client in a statement to Us. “First and foremost, this is not the kind of information that should be for public dissemination. These are juveniles,” KJ’s attorney told Us in a statement on Friday, August 21. “Secondly, my client is 100 percent innocent and tried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender polygrapher.”
Sheffield continued, “Additionally, the officer’s report notes the GBI [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] found no male DNA on or inside the areas the alleged victim claimed she was assaulted. Had the officer sat down with me, I feel certain she would’ve never made an arrest.”
Sheffield alleged that “these false allegations are a desperate cry for attention and are motivated by my client’s past rejection of the alleged victim’s unwanted advances.”
“The fact that he’s been arrested and is being held without bond is a tragedy. He is not only presumed innocent but is, in fact, innocent,” Sheffield told Us. “I will work tirelessly to demonstrate to the District Attorney’s office the mean-spirited nature of these false allegations and to bring a close to this matter as quickly as possible. I’m asking the public not to presume the truth of these allegations and to give the families on both sides their space and privacy.”

Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa Bryant, is marking what would have been her late husband’s 48th birthday.
“Happy birthday, baby,” Vanessa, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, August 23, along with a throwback picture of the former couple. “I love you so much.”
In the throwback photo, Vanessa could be seen sitting on her late husband’s lap as the pair lounged outside in an outdoor chair. Kobe wore a blue t-shirt with black pants and flip flops, while Vanessa was barely visible under her husband’s once-towering 6’6’’ frame.
She added her late husband’s birthdate alongside a red heart and praying hands emojis in the short-but-sweet caption.
Several Hollywood celebrities and A-list sports stars showed their love and support in the comments section, including Kris Jenner, Candace Parker, Kimora Lee Simmons, David Beckham and Gabrielle Union.

The famous Los Angeles Laker tragically died in a helicopter crash alongside his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven other people on January 26, 2020. (Vanessa and Kobe, who married in April 2001, also shared Natalia, Bianka and Capri.)
The basketball star was 41.
Vanessa has found ways to continue to honor her late husband and daughter while simultaneously — and frequently — shutting down pregnancy and dating rumors as fans continue to speculate she has moved on since the crash. (The family renamed and expanded the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation to include “Mambacita,” an ode to Gianna. The nonprofit organization aims to create a positive and empowering environment via sports for underserved youth and female athletes.)
“Can you guys decide alread…. Am I pregnant for the 100th time or am I getting remaried???” Vanessa shared via her Instagram Story on May 3, denouncing another round of online rumors — this time claiming she was planning to remarry after inheriting 5 percent of her husband’s wealth.
In June 2025, she once again denounced rumors she was pregnant, sharing a selfie featuring the mom giving the camera the bird.
“Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer,” she captioned the photo at the time.
Back in May, Vanessa shared a touching tribute to her late daughter on what would have been the little girl’s 20th birthday.
“Happy birthday to my sweet baby angel, Gianna,” she wrote on May 1 via Instagram. “Words can’t express how much I love and miss you mamacita. Mommy loves you so much!”
Followers flocked to the comments section to share their support for Vanessa on her daughter’s heavenly birthday, including LeBron James, Kim Kardashian, Kelly Rowland, La La Anthony and Gianna’s older sister Natalia.
Miniseries get to do something a regular ongoing show usually can’t. They pack it all for you so nicely and tightly right according to your attention span. You get one complete story, from start to finish, without worrying about renewal or stretching things out for another season. That constraint ends up being a huge advantage.
A few of these shows are based on real events, which raises the stakes in a different way, since the writers don’t get to invent a happy ending just because the audience wants one. Let’s have a look at the six miniseries that earned their short runtime instead of wasting it.
Naz (Riz Ahmed) plays a college kid who has one bad night, ends up charged with murder, and in the end, the prison he got stuck in has changed him into someone almost unrecognizable. Now the viewers do not know whether or not he actually committed the crime. HBO takes its time with every procedural detail, autopsy reports, jury selection, evidence chains, and none of it feels like padding.
John Stone (John Turturro), the defense lawyer, deals with a genuinely brutal case of eczema on his feet that he can’t stop scratching through the whole show, a small detail that makes him feel more human than most TV lawyers ever get to be. James Gandolfini was originally supposed to play that role before he passed away, which delayed the whole production for years.
Ava DuVernay tells the real story of five teenage boys coerced into false confessions for a crime they didn’t commit, the Central Park Five case, and she doesn’t rush a single interrogation scene, letting the pressure and manipulation play out in real time until it’s almost unbearable to watch. Korey Wise (Jharrel Jerome) gets played at every age, from teenager to grown man, by the same actor, who won an Emmy doing it.
All five men were eventually exonerated by actual DNA evidence and a confession from the real attacker, over a decade after they’d already served time. The show doesn’t let anyone off easy either, including a real newspaper ad calling for their execution that gets dramatized almost exactly as it was printed.
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks spent something like 125 million dollars making this, an enormous number for television at the time, and every dollar shows up on screen in the battle sequences, especially the freezing siege at Bastogne. Major Richard Winters (Damian Lewis) leads Easy Company through some of the worst fighting of World War II.
Each episode opens with real interviews from actual surviving veterans of Easy Company, though their names get withheld until the very last episode so you don’t accidentally find out who makes it home early. That choice alone tells you how seriously this show treated the real men behind the story.
Marie Adler (Kaitlyn Dever) plays a teenage rape survivor who reports her assault, gets disbelieved by police, and ends up charged with lying about it, based on an actual Pulitzer-winning news investigation. Years later, detectives Grace Rasmussen (Toni Collette) and Karen Duvall (Merritt Wever) catch the actual serial rapist and the truth finally comes out.
This one show is so hard to sit through because of the acting, the storyline and every single thing involved. The disbelief looks so ordinary, without any dramatic villain cop twirling a mustache, just tired, careless people failing a teenage girl one small decision at a time. The real Marie Adler eventually got an apology and a settlement, years after the show’s timeline ends, which barely feels like enough after everything that happens first.
Valery Legasov (Jared Harris) is a real scientist who helped contain the 1986 nuclear disaster and later exposed the Soviet lies covering it up before taking his own life. Craig Mazin built full-scale replica sets for this show and got the technical details of a nuclear meltdown accurate enough that actual nuclear engineers have praised how careful it is.
This became the highest-rated show on IMDb for a while after release, and it genuinely sparked a wave of tourism to the real Chernobyl site, for better or worse. The sound design alone, that low radiation hum sitting under almost every scene, does as much work building dread as anything in the actual script.
Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) is an orphaned chess prodigy fighting addiction while climbing to the top of a game that barely had any room for women at the time, and real grandmasters Garry Kasparov and Bruce Pandolfini designed every single chess match in the show to be accurate down to the actual moves.
This became one of the most-watched limited series Netflix had ever released, and it caused a real, measurable spike in chess set sales and new sign-ups on chess apps worldwide, an actual board game boom caused by a TV show. Taylor-Joy learned real chess notation for the role, and it shows in how convincingly she moves through a game most actors would just be pretending to understand.

At the beginning of every season, we like to take inventory of the clothes we wear often and the ones collecting dust. While most people focus on everyday styles, you’d be remiss to sleep on your work wardrobe. After all, these are the pieces you wear to boardroom meetings, client lunches and beyond. If your go-tos are looking a little outdated, let Us introduce you to button-up blouses, a style that’s so versatile, they might work as hard as you do.
Button-up blouses are the functional, feminine version of a button-down shirt. They feature soft details, flattering silhouettes and pretty accents that are appropriate for the office and post-9-to-5 drinks. There are plenty of options online, but some of our favorites are from Quince, Gap, Amazon and Abercrombie & Fitch, starting as low as $17.
1. Our Favorite: Your classic button-up shirt just got a major upgrade! Designed with a corset-style waist and peplum hem, this striped blouse flatters your body the moment you slip it on.
2. Designer-Looking: The ruffle cuffs, stand collar and loose silhouette make this summer-to-fall top look like something designer. It only has four front buttons, however, we like that the design makes it easier to tuck the hem into trousers and jeans.
3. Rich Mom: We can see everyone from rich moms to CEOs wearing this buttoned blouse. The rich brown color, elbow-length sleeves and gold-hue buttons feel so classy, you’ll wear it to work, fancy functions and charity events.
4. Soft Statement: Babydoll dresses were everywhere this summer, and this quarter-sleeve top lets you take the style into fall. The semi-long sleeves and soft fabric are ideal for the transitional season, and we just adore the little ruffle trim.
5. Expensive-Looking: Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you that a satin blouse gives off high-end vibes. The combination of the shiny finish and collared neckline gives boss babe energy. The best part is you can dress it up with pencil skirts and down with jeans!
6. Low-Key Genius: If you look too fast, you’ll miss the buttons hiding on this puff-sleeve blouse. In fact, the buttons are actually hidden under the fabric paneling, which provides a secure fit with a seamless appearance.
7. Slimming Staple: Feel polished and confident when you throw on this tie-front shirt from Grace Karin. The A-line silhouette comes from the fabric belt that cinches at the waist before flowing over the tummy.
8. Anything But Basic: A traditional button-up shirt can feel a bit stiff, so finding a fashion-forward option like this is like scoring gold. The boxy shape still feels feminine due to the oversized puff sleeves, and the coffee hue is very trendy for fall.
9. Instant Upgrade: It’s okay to be obsessed with a work staple, especially when it looks as good as this sleek shirt. The oversized top has interesting flared sleeves, side slits and a high-low hem that takes things up a few notches.
10. Boho Babe: Free People pieces may not be considered workwear attire, but this button-up top easily transitions from work to play. The functional button-loop front lets you make it as conservative or flirty as you’d like.
11. CEO Vibes: Walk into a room like you run the place while wearing this Nordstrom shirt. It’s business up top and party on the bottom, thanks to the wrap design that naturally slims the waist.
12. Sale Alert: Madewell is a favorite among Us Weekly editors and celebrities, so we’re thrilled this button-up shirt is 60% off right now. What makes this poplin top stand out is the drawstring hem, which cinches at your smallest point for an hourglass look.
13. Everyday Ease: Casual Fridays call for something a little more playful, like this pintuck blouse from Abercrombie. The lacey scalloped trim and puff sleeves are cute on their own, but the plaid print is set to be huge for fall. You can thank the patternmaxxing trend for that!
14. Polished Pick: Okay, so this Abercrombie find is technically a vest, but it’s 2026, and we’re all about wearing vests as tops now! In addition to the buttoned front, this pick has a V-neckline and a sleek peplum hem that feels professional yet flattering.
15. Quite the Charmer: Quince is one of our favorite retailers for workwear, and we’re scooping up this versatile short-sleeve blouse ASAP. Not only does it have all the makings of a work-appropriate top, but the Peter Pan collar, ruffle hems and vertical stitching give it tons of personality, too.
16. Year-Round Staple: An Oxford shirt is a classic that belongs in every closet, and this organic cotton find is one to consider. We really like the oversized fit and ultra-soft feel, which lets you wear it as a swim cover-up on beach days and as a work top on Monday.
17. Top Seller: Curious what other people are eyeing? Then check out this poplin shirt from Gap, which is currently on sale now. Unlike the others on our list, this one has a more fitted silhouette that pairs well with baggy culottes or barrel pants.

It’s not your imagination – poncho tops are making a comeback in a very big way. The poncho tops you might remember from the early 2000s were embellished and a bit bulky, but today’s version is more sleek and minimalist. These poncho tops are more sheer for a layered moment, with a lightweight design and stylish fit that give them a chic, cool girl vibe.
They’re also surprisingly versatile. Sheer, lightweight poncho tops make for an easy and stylish swimsuit cover-up, but they also look very put-together and elegant when layered over a tank with fitted jeans and a pair of heels. Meanwhile, knit options feel cozy enough to throw on over your outfit on a chilly day. Shop our favorites below, which start at just $14.
1. Our Favorite: For chillier days, this asymmetrical poncho top is going to act as a go-to layer. It’s super soft and stretchy, and the slightly heavier knit material will keep you cozy but not overly warm.
2. Runner-Up: This sheer knit poncho top is so on-trend, with an asymmetrical design and loose fit. It’s both stylish and breathable, so it’s perfect for hot, end-of-summer days.
3. Under $15: Slightly shimmery and totally sheer, this knit poncho top is fun and stylish. The fabric gives off just a little bit of a sparkly shine that makes it feel more fun and elegant at the same time.
4. Beach Day Ready: This crochet poncho top makes for the perfect unexpected swimsuit cover-up. It shows off your bathing suit underneath and is lightweight enough to even be comfortable under the sun.
5. Cozy Knit: With its cape-like fit and cable knit design, this sweater poncho definitely feels like a throwback (in a good way). It’s perfect for staying cozy on chilly fall days. Bonus: it’s on sale right now, so don’t miss out.
6. Light and Airy: While this cotton poncho top was made with nursing mothers in mind, it’s cute and stylish enough to be worn by anyone. We love that this one runs longer than others for less of a cropped look.
7. For A Night Out: With a sheer look, cropped fit and glittery embellishments, this beaded poncho looks more dressed up than casual. It’s also elegant enough to be paired over a dress as a nice layer for a night out.
8. Western Vibe: You can really throw it back to the early 2000s with this fringe poncho, which has a little bit of a Western vibe and a cozy, sweater-like feel. It’s still breathable and works so well with jeans.
9. Cool and Collected: This semi-sheer poncho top looks so pretty layered over a cami or tank top, with an asymmetrical design and loose fit. It’s the definition of cool mom style and looks chic without even trying.
10. Comfy Fit: If you want more of a traditional shirt feel but still love the look of a poncho, try this off-the-shoulder top. It has actual sleeves that are so billowy it makes the whole top look like a poncho – just a little more functional.
11. Crochet and Cute: This crochet poncho will quickly become a fall wardrobe staple. It has pretty scalloped edges and a knit design that makes it work for chilly days.
12. Pop Star Sparkle: Covered in glittering sequins, this sheer poncho top is sparkly and fun. It’s giving mermaid vibes but also looks like something Hilary Duff would have worn in the early 2000s… and we mean that in the best way possible.
13. Rich Mom Look: The open knit style and relaxed fit of this knit poncho is so effortlessly chic, especially when paired with straight-leg jeans. Wear it over a tank or tee and you’ve got the perfect outfit for fall.
14. Super Soft: This white poncho top is so soft and lightweight that you’ll want to wear it every day. It’s also an easy basic you can do much with – and the off-white color makes it even more versatile.
15. Floral Moment: The oversized flower graphic on this knit poncho makes it feel so much fun and even gives it a little bit of a ‘70s vibe. We also love this funky lime green color that is so cute for the end of the summer.

Camila Morrone is the latest actor to join the cast of Miami Vice ’85.
With her addition, the film is shaping up to be a major collaboration of high-profile talent, though more details about Morrone’s role are still under wraps.
The movie previously announced Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler as part of the cast.
Fans of Miami Vice will be thrilled to hear that actress Camila Morrone has been added to the cast of the upcoming reboot.
The American-Argentine actress and model will star alongside Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler, who are playing the police duo Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs and James “Sonny” Crockett.
For now, Morrone’s role remains under wraps but may become clearer as the premiere date approaches. She is further joined by Supernatural star Alden Ehrenreich and Gossip Girl actress Whitney Peak.
The movie is set to debut in May 2028 after a significant delay pushed its release back from the initial August 2027 date.

Online, fans were hyped about Morrone’s addition and quickly began speculating about the part she will play.
“Has to be Gina. Nice choice, has the look,” one user said of the model.
“Camila is the PERFECT Gina. And honestly all I can think about is … and to quote Ms. V herself …. ‘It’s inevitable,’” another fan commented.
Gina is a member of the Vice Division who also works undercover for the Organized Crime Bureau. She is Detective Trudy Joplin’s (Olivia Brown) partner and was originally portrayed by Saundra Santiago.
According to a synopsis of the film, “Vice detectives Crockett and Tubbs, from Miami-Dade’s organized crime bureau, go undercover as criminals to infiltrate and dismantle southern Florida’s criminal enterprises.”
It has also been revealed that the film will be set in the mid-1980s and be inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the original Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas-led series.
Dylan Clark/Dylan Clark Productions will produce the action thriller, with a script by Dan Gilroy. It will also be filmed entirely in IMAX to immerse viewers in Miami’s sights and sounds, with Joseph Kosinski helming the project.
Production will begin later this year, although an exact date has yet to be announced.

Jordan and Butler were among the first actors announced for the movie, which came as little surprise given Kosinski’s strong desire to cast them. The director revealed his interest in working with both actors during an interview with Variety last year.
“Michael is someone I’ve admired for a long time, [and] always wanted to work with him,” he said.
“Austin, I think, is proving himself as someone to watch. Again, I’ve just really admired his choices,” the director continued. “If it ends up being those two, I’d be very lucky.”
While fans face a long wait before Jordan and Butler share the screen, both actors have other projects that have either recently debuted or may arrive before Miami Vice ’85.
Jordan is set to star in “The Thomas Crown Affair,” following his appearances in the award-winning “Sinners” and the animated film “Swapped.” Butler has “Heat 2” and “American Psycho” in the works and recently appeared in “Eddington” and “Caught Stealing.”

One person who does not share the growing anticipation for Miami Vice ’85 is original series star Don Johnson.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in April, Johnson was asked what he thought about the upcoming reboot and whether he would be involved.
He responded with a four-word phrase: “It ain’t Miami Vice,” seemingly suggesting that he does not believe the new movie will match the legacy of the original series.
At the time, the actor also described starring in the original series as a “profound event” in his life.
New details regarding Hayden Panettiere and Brian Hickerson’s toxic on-again, off-again relationship are being revealed following the actress’ sudden and tragic death at 36.
Panettiere’s estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, claimed to The New York Times on Sunday, August 23, that Hickerson, 37, had once pawned “some of” the Nashville alum’s belongings, including a vintage guitar, at an undisclosed time prior to her death. Vogel further alleged that Panettiere was ultimately “shocked” to find more of her possessions in Hickerson’s storage unit.
A second individual, speaking to The Times anonymously, corroborated Vogel’s accusations that Hickerson previously sold a handful of Panettiere’s belongings.
Hickerson has not publicly addressed the accusations. Us reached out for comment regarding claims he pawned her property.
Panettiere and Hickerson dated on and off from 2018 to 2020, ultimately breaking up following a domestic violence incident in Wyoming. Hickerson was ultimately sentenced to one year in jail in connection to the incident, which a judge later suspended in exchange for one year of probation.
In May, Panettiere began a book tour to celebrate the release of her This Is Me: A Reckoning memoir. According to two unidentified sources with knowledge of the matter who spoke to The Times, a Barnes & Noble store in New York City was given strict instructions not to allow Hickerson into the venue. Per the outlet’s insiders, Panettiere was accompanied by private security with the alleged intent to keep Hickerson away from her.
“I really thought I had done it and I was capable of doing it by myself,” she said of her relationship with Hickerson on the “On Purpose” podcast weeks earlier, months before her suspected overdose death. “I needed an incredible amount of support and backup in order to make sure that there was no way for him to find his way back in.”
Hickerson, through an attorney, broke his silence on Panettiere’s death on Thursday, August 20.
“Hayden’s death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed,” Hickerson’s attorney Sloan Ellis told Us in a statement. “As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play. Out of respect for Hayden’s loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time.”
Panettiere was found dead in South Carolina on August 16, with a local police report claiming that Hickerson was present at the scene with his brother, Zach. Narcan was reportedly used and life-saving measures, including CPR, were made but were ultimately unsuccessful.
“After EMS officially declared Hayden deceased, I escorted Zach [Hickerson] and Brian out of the apartment,” a police report obtained by Us read, referring to Brian’s brother. “I observed Zach to be very emotional while EMS were working on Hayden. Brian did not become emotional until EMS declared her officially deceased.”
A cause of death has not yet been revealed at the time of publication. In the wake of Panettiere’s death, Zach — who once dated the Ice Princess actress — claimed he and his brother tried to save the Heroes star’s life.
“When we went in and tried to wake Hayden up for lunch, we realized she was unconscious,” he claimed to TMZ on Friday, August 21. “I immediately called 911, and Brian gave her Narcan. We then jointly performed CPR while 911 was on speaker until Fire and EMS arrived. At that point, we watched as they tried every measure possible to save her life.”
Panettiere’s estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, refuted the brothers’ claims, telling the Daily Mail in a Saturday, August 22, interview that she believes Brian is “culpable” for her daughter’s death.
Us has reached out to Brian multiple times for comment on various claims, including allegations he was banned from Panettiere’s mother’s claims and allegations he was banned from her book tour, but have not heard back.
Hayden is survived by her parents, exes Skip Panettiere and Vogel, and her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, whom she shared with ex Wladimir Klitschko. (The Heroes alum’s younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, died in 2023 at age 28 from an undiagnosed heart condition.)

Melania Trump joined her husband, President Donald Trump, at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix amid ongoing scrutiny about his relationship with White House aide Natalie Harp.
Melania, 56, and Donald, 80, were both present at the Washington, D.C. racetrack on Sunday, August 23, as part of the United States’ official 250th anniversary celebrations. The outing marked the first lady’s first public appearance in 32 days.
“It’s incredible day, and I think everybody did [an] amazing job,” Melania gushed to Fox News on Sunday, remarking how local officials transformed D.C. streets into a Formula 1-caliber racetrack. “It is wonderful to have them here, very exciting [and] people looking forward to this incredible event.”
Melania’s rare appearance comes days after Harp, the president’s executive assistant, raised eyebrows for their oddly close working relationship.
“I want things to always be right between us,” Harp, 34, allegedly wrote to Donald in a 2023 letter recently obtained by The Daily Beast. “I also know I’ve been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time).”
“Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump’s team,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement to The Daily Beast, defending the now-controversial aide. “The media should get back to reporting real news and stop regurgitating Trump-Deranged liberal talking points.”

Harp’s brother later criticized her allegedly “unhealthy obsession” with Donald. Neither Donald, Melania nor Harp have addressed the speculation. Us has reached out to the White House for comment.
During her rare public outing, Melania and her husband were able to meet the Grand Prix drivers before taking a seat in a car themselves on Sunday.
“It was exciting, of course,” she said, adding that she “loved every minute of” being on the course. “When I was growing up, my father introduced me to races and to race cars, and he owned some incredible cars — [including] a Maserati, Cougar, Mustang, Mercedes. He introduced me to the design of cars, and the mechanics, and also the speed.”
Elsewhere during the interview, Melania highlighted her new Fostering the Future initiative to support young individuals in the foster care system. (Fostering the Future was launched via an executive order signed by Donald in November 2025.
“Fostering the Future provides scholarships at the university level within [the] foster care community. And it’s very important, because we need to support them,” Melania told Fox of the program. “They need to have the same opportunities as other children, and I’m very proud to say that we had the first doctor graduating, and we now have 26 universities all around the country that have foster students. I encourage every governor in every state to sign and support foster children.”
