Oprah Winfrey stepped out at the Telluride Film Festival after speaking candidly about the role GLP-1 medication has played in her health journey. The television icon attended the North American premiere of “Everest: The Other Side” in Colorado on Saturday, where she interviewed ski mountaineer Jim Morrison in front of a live audience. Winfrey’s festival appearance comes months after she revealed she had reached 155 pounds and explained why she no longer blames herself for her longtime struggles with weight.

Winfrey arrived at the event in a cream-colored jacket and matching trousers featuring feathery details. The 72-year-old completed the outfit with a white tank top, brown boots, earrings and sunglasses. Her hair fell past her shoulders in voluminous waves.

Winfrey posed for photographs outside the venue and was later seen alongside her longtime friend Gayle King.

The media mogul subsequently joined Morrison onstage for a conversation connected to “Everest: The Other Side.” The documentary follows Morrison and the late mountaineer Hilaree Nelson as they attempt to climb and ski Mount Everest’s direct north face.

The project also explores grief and resilience following Nelson’s death during a 2022 descent of Mount Manaslu.

The TV Icon Has Been Candid About Her Weight Loss

4

Winfrey’s appearance follows a series of candid interviews about her decades-long struggle with weight and her eventual decision to use GLP-1 medication. During a January appearance on “The View,” she reflected on the constant thoughts about food, calories, and exercise that once occupied her mind.

“All these years… I was standing there with all the food noise, [thinking about] what I ate, what I should eat, how many calories was [in what I ate],” Winfrey said. “And how long it was going to take [to burn off]. And I thought that was because of me and that it was my fault.”

Winfrey said her understanding of obesity changed after learning more about its biological and genetic components. She explained that she now “understands that if you carry the obesity gene, that is what makes you overeat. You don’t overeat and become obese; obesity causes you to overeat.”

“Obesity causes you to have all that food noise. What GLP-1s have done for me and a number of other people is quiet that noise,” Winfrey added.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that obesity is complex and that “no single genetic cause has been identified” in most cases. Genetics can influence obesity, but environmental, behavioral and other biological factors can also play a role.

Oprah Winfrey Revealed She Reached 155 Pounds

4

Earlier this year, Winfrey revealed that she had reached 155 pounds, which she described as her marathon weight. The figure represents an 82-pound difference from the 237 pounds she previously identified as her highest weight. “I thought it was about discipline and willpower. But I stopped blaming myself,” she told PEOPLE. “I feel more alive and more vibrant than I’ve ever been.”

Winfrey has also emphasized that medication is only part of her health routine. She reportedly incorporates activities such as hiking, treadmill workouts, and weightlifting into her lifestyle. Her experiences helped inspire the book “Enough: Your Health, Your Weight, And What It’s Like To Be Free,” which she co-wrote with obesity specialist Dr. Ania Jastreboff.

She Regained Weight After Stopping The Medication

4

Winfrey has also revealed that she temporarily stopped using GLP-1 medication because she wanted to see whether she could maintain her results without it. “I was off of the medications all last year, and I gained 20 pounds because I wanted to test it,” she recalled. “Because everybody was saying, ‘you’re going to gain the weight’… I’m going to show them… I’m going to hike.”

However, Winfrey said thoughts about food gradually returned, even though she kept making healthy choices. “And then I was taking it, then I got off of it, and then I gained three pounds, and I gained five pounds, and I gained 10 pounds, and before you know it, the [food] noise was back,” she explained.

PEOPLE reported that Winfrey stopped the medication for 12 months before deciding it was an important long-term tool for managing her health.

September has started off on the perfect note for fans of the highly acclaimed sci-fi franchise Doctor Who, amid ongoing uncertainty about its future. Debuting in 1963 and returning after a lengthy hiatus in 2005, the BBC‘s long-running mothership series continued through 2025, with Disney+ becoming its international streaming and co-production partner beginning with the 60th-anniversary specials in 2023. The partnership ended in October 2025, but the BBC remains the show’s home in the UK. Now, the series is officially free to stream but, as you may have guessed, there’s a catch!

This comes at just the right time, as it’s no secret that the adventure series’ future isn’t set in stone. The BBC has put the production out to competitive tender, but the bidding process hasn’t begun, and no new TV series has been announced. That said, Doctor Who officially launched on the free, ad-free streaming platform Kanopy on September 4, 2026, as confirmed by TV Insider, with new seasons scheduled to arrive week-to-weekthroughout this month. Keep in mind that Kanopy is only available through participating libraries and institutions.

Now, the catch is that only the first four revival series of Doctor Who will stream on Kanopy this month, as the launch starts with the 2005 chapter starring Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor. Following 2005’s Series 1, Series 2 lands on the platform on September 11, Series 3 on September 18, and Series 4 on September 25. Unlike the classic 20th-century episodes, these 2000s revival seasons largely moved away from the traditional multi-episode serial format in favor of mostly self-contained stories, while still incorporating occasional two-part episodes and broader season-long arcs.

What Lies Ahead for ‘Doctor Who’s Future?

Image via BBC

In June, the BBC scrapped plans for the 2026 Christmas special that had been announced the previous year. At the same time, showrunner Russell T. Davies and producer Bad Wolf departed Doctor Who. Davies also revealed that he had never written a script for the Christmas special, nor had any actor ever been approached to play the next Doctor.

Then, last month, Mark Gatiss, who wrote nine episodes and starred in five, provided a discouraging Doctor Who update in an interview, hinting that fans may be in for a longer wait than expected. When asked about his hopes for the future, he admitted that he believes it was “just time for a break,” seeing as all good things eventually come to an end, adding:

“I think the BBC putting it out to tender is a perfectly great idea, but we’ve been here before. When it was cancelled in 1989, the BBC made a big statement saying ‘We’re committed to taking Doctor Who through the ’90s.’ They put it out to tender then, and then it just quietly didn’t happen, and I have a feeling maybe that’s what’s going to happen.”

Doctor Who streams for free on Kanopy. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming coverage.

Orlando Bloom is reportedly furious over claims that he abandoned his upcoming movie, “Reset,” at the last minute and left the production in danger of collapsing. Although an earlier report blamed Bloom’s departure for the turmoil, multiple insiders are now offering a dramatically different account. They claim the actor remained attached while the independent thriller faced months of shrinking budgets, shifting locations, scheduling problems, and the loss of its original director.

5

One production source insisted Bloom did not suddenly walk away from an otherwise stable project. “Orlando didn’t quit at the last minute,” the insider told the Daily Mail. “It’s all bullsh-t.” “It would be nice to tell the truth. I do not like that Orlando has been thrown under the bus. I can’t even believe it.”

Bloom was announced in May as the male lead of the survival thriller opposite Priyanka Chopra. Both actors were also expected to produce the project. “Reset” follows a woman, played by Chopra, who wakes up in the wilderness without any memory of how she arrived there. Her survival depends on a mysterious man, originally set to be played by Bloom, whose motives may not be what they initially appear.

Deadline originally reported that filming was expected to begin in August under director Matt Smukler. However, TMZ later reported that Bloom exited as cameras were about to roll, leaving some members of the cast and crew feeling “screwed over.”

The outlet’s sources claimed the project secured financing partly because Bloom and Chopra were attached. Bloom’s international profile was also seen as important in securing distribution for the independent film. Producers were reportedly considering three actors as possible replacements, with Chopra expected to help make the final decision.

Insider Blames The Drama On A ‘Vindictive’ Leak

5

Sources speaking to the Daily Mail disputed the suggestion that Bloom created the production crisis. “Obviously someone leaked this to save their own a-s, or it’s vindictive,” one insider alleged.

According to that source, the trouble had been building for months before Bloom officially departed. Budget reductions reportedly forced repeated changes to the production’s scope and filming locations. “There was a lack of budget and a lack of transparency. They just kept changing the location because of money,” the insider claimed.

Director Matt Smukler Reportedly Walked Away First

5

The situation reportedly reached a breaking point in mid-to-late July when Smukler stepped away from the movie. One source claimed the director left because the “budget just kept getting smaller and smaller.”

A second insider offered a more detailed explanation of the circumstances surrounding his departure. “The scope and some of the circumstances of the production just changed from what sort of initially had been anticipated. Matt just ultimately felt that it was best for him to step away,” the source said.

Smukler’s reported departure left the remaining producers trying to find a replacement director before filming was set to begin. “For a filmmaker like Matt who’s so strategic, methodical and planned, it was just too much of a moving target at that point that he said, ‘You know what, it just makes more sense to step aside and let them find someone who can figure all this out,’” the insider explained, adding that it was a “tough decision.”

Smukler’s spokesperson later addressed his exit without criticizing the production. “Matt’s grateful for the opportunity to have been involved and has tremendous respect for the talent and team behind the film. He wishes everyone involved the very best.”

The Production Reportedly ‘Scrambled’ To Find A New Director

5

Insiders said Bloom and Chopra understood Smukler’s decision, but the departure placed immediate pressure on the project. “They scrambled to find another director,” the first source said. “It goes without saying that when a director leaves fairly abruptly, it was at a breaking point. It was very chaotic.”

Bloom reportedly warned those involved that his continued participation could depend on finding a new director who was comfortable working within the reduced budget. “Orlando, long ago, got spooked,” the source claimed.

Despite those concerns, Bloom allegedly stayed involved for several more weeks and gave the production a chance to address its problems. The actor ultimately decided to exit after reportedly determining that the situation had not improved enough to move forward.

Priyanka Chopra And Orlando Bloom Are Reportedly Still Friends

5

The production trouble has not allegedly created a feud between Bloom and Chopra. Insiders said they never observed tension between the two stars and described them as “friends.” The pair reportedly became acquainted through their humanitarian involvement with UNICEF.

Bloom has not publicly addressed his exit from “Reset,” but insiders claim he is unhappy with the way the situation has been presented. “Orlando is very disappointed that this has happened. He’s upset,” the source said, adding of the leaks, “He was disappointed and shocked.”

“No one’s happy about it, and it’s super unfortunate because it is a great script,” they said.

Exes Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were both present at their eldest daughter North’s debut headlining concert.

North, 13, performed at the Vic Theatre in Chicago, West’s hometown, on Saturday, September 5, where both of her parents were spotted watching from the balcony. The rapper, 49, was dressed in a brown leather jacket and coordinating trousers as he filmed North’s set with his phone, per social media footage.

Kardashian, 45, for her part, shared videos from North’s show to her Instagram Stories later that night. The Skims mogul uploaded glimpses of the cheering crowd holding up DIY signs, including one that read, “We’re from the North West side,” and other moments of North’s performance.

Kardashian, who sported a black jacket with a high pony, also reposted her friends’ footage of the concert. “She was goin’ off!! Only 13, wow,” a caption read.

George Pimentel/Getty Images Kim Kardashian had an unexpected reunion with Kanye West — and cameras were there to capture it all. During the Thursday, February 20, episode of The Kardashians, Kanye, 47, and Kim, 44, crossed paths while celebrating their 11-year-old daughter North’s performance in The Lion King’s 30th anniversary concert at the Hollywood Bowl. […]

Kardashian and West were married from 2014 to 2021, during which they welcomed North and her three siblings. (The now-exes also share sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, 7, as well as daughter Chicago, 8.)

Following their divorce, both Kardashian and West have remained committed to cheering on North and her siblings’ endeavors.

“She is homeschooled, and a lot of it is me helping her do a lot of the teachings and … we do a lot of realistic courses [of] things that she’s really into,” Kim revealed on a January episode of her sister Khloé Kardashian’s “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast, referring to North. “She’s really into math. We’ll give budgets and we’ll go around and we’ll get stuff and we’ll add it all up and subtract it all. She has a brand-building class. It’s, like, an actual course and a curriculum. [It’s] fully interactive learning, and she had an idea of making hats and making jewelry and all the things she wanted to make, so we made it a course.”

North’s homeschool curriculum even allows her time in the recording studio to work on her debut album, which is currently in development.

Kanye West brought out a VIP surprise guest at his Friday, January 30, concert in Mexico City.

[…]

 “It’s been so fun to see her blossom,” the Kardashians star gushed at the time. “I’ll add her writing out all her lyrics as part of her spelling tests. We do all of the things at home that she really enjoys and are challenging, and I think [people] would be proud to see how smart she really is and how creative she really is.”

According to Kim, North’s musical pursuits is “her bonding thing” with West.

“The music side and the producing isn’t my thing,” the mom of four explained. “Even just coming up with stuff, [Kanye and I] have to communicate about how North moves through that world and all these opportunities that come her way and having to filter that. Respecting his opinion on the things that go on with his kids is really important.”

North later planned to kick off her first-ever tour, Kimokawaii Tour, in August but the shows were canceled weeks earlier.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is iconic, in more ways than one. From subverting the supernatural horror genre to introducing a colorful ensemble of characters that are still beloved to this day, Buffy has stood the test of time. Fans new and old can watch the series and be just as enchanted with it as when it first released.

But there’s one way that Buffy has helped define current culture. It’s a small detail in the last season, something that anyone could easily mistake for just another line of dialogue. But while we might be accustomed to the line, at the time, it was a groundbreaking addition to our modern vocabulary. In a show that initiated a new wave of vampire media, it’s one small piece of dialogue that shows the true impact of a show like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Before ‘Twilight’, Vampires Were Buffy’s Thing

Modern audiences might not understand the scale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s influence on pop culture. From 1997-2003, Buffy aired with weekly episodes delving into one girl’s fight against the supernatural. Adapted from the movie with the same name, Joss Whedon reinvented the plucky Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and gave her a whole new world to save. With the show’s instant success, vampires were back in fashion, and Buffy became a household name.

The series had a huge ripple effect on pop culture, even to this day. Buffy herself changed gender expectations in horror, with the blonde girl fighting back against the forces of evil instead of succumbing to them. You can’t have a girl fighting supernatural forces without someone connecting her back to Buffy. With storylines surrounding serious topics such as addiction and grief and the inclusion of LGBTQ characters, Buffy the Vampire Slayer helped pave the way for TV to tackle real-life conversations. The show has been referenced in countless pieces of media, even inspiring many more. While Twilight exploded in popularity in the 2010s, Buffy set the groundwork for vampire media. Before it was Edward and Jacob, it was Angel and Spike.

One Line That Changed The World

With all that iconic success under her belt, Buffy made a huge splash in current culture in a small way. As the show straddled the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st, Buffy wasn’t immune to the rapid change underway in society. In 2002, in Season 7, Episode 4, “Help,” Willow (Alyson Hannigan) says the line, “Have you Googled her yet?” Up until then, ‘Google’ had never been used as a verb on TV. It was an entirely new phenomenon that demonstrates the show’s place in the early 21st century.

Modern viewers might hear that line and think nothing of it. People say ‘Google’ all the time; it’s not something unheard of to use in everyday conversation. But back in 2002, when the digital age was still developing, this was huge. It not only demonstrated the emergence of technology like search engines, but also showed how, through shows like Buffy, the modern world was being crafted. Nowadays, words like ‘iPhone’ and ‘apps’ are common staples in our vocabulary, but in the early 2000s, they would have been meaningless. Buffy‘s inclusion of the verb ‘Google’ shows how the series not only impacted pop culture, but was impacted by society adapting to a new era.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer continues to have left a mark on pop culture, in big and small ways. Buffy‘s impact can be felt through the clothes people wear, the supernatural media they consume, and the words they speak without even realizing it. For a show about a girl saving the world, it’s certainly true that she helped change it.

The 1980s were one of the best decades for film. A decade of filmmaking innovation and evolution in the habits of theatergoers, the ’80s were defined by several iconic titles. This includes Giuseppe Tornatore‘s timeless Cinema Paradiso, Robert Zemeckis‘ sci-fi adventure Back to the Future, Spike Lee‘s magnum opus Do the Right Thing, and, of course, Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back.

But no director quite defined the decade like Steven Spielberg, with the likes of Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Color Purple, and Empire of the Sun just three examples. But his best work of the decade, and perhaps his best work ever, is the beloved E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The heartwarming tale of an alien stranded on Earth who befriends a lonely 10-year-old boy named Elliott Taylor (Henry Thomas) is one of the most recognizable stories in cinema history, courtesy of Melissa Mathison‘s unforgettable script.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was an enormous hit at the global box office, scoring a global haul of almost $800 million against a budget of just $10.5 million. Split between $439 million in domestic revenue and a further $358 million from overseas markets, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was one of the highest-grossing movies of the 1980s and is the second-oldest title to appear in the list of 25 highest-grossing sci-fi movies of all time. 44 years later, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a hit once again. At the time of writing, the sci-fi masterpiece is one of the ten most-streamed movies on Apple TV in the U.S., a list currently topped by Josh Greenbaum‘s The Dink.

Steven Spielberg Returned to Sci-Fi Earlier This Year

After almost a decade away from the genre, following 2018’s Ready Player One, Spielberg finally returned to sci-fi with Disclosure Day, which grossed almost $250 million in global revenue during a somewhat underwhelming box office run, against a reported budget of $115 million. As usual, Spielberg brought together a stellar cast for his latest project, led by Emily Blunt (A Quiet Place), Josh O’Connor (Challengers), and Colin Firth (The King’s Speech), and featuring many more big Hollywood names.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is one of the ten most-watched movies on Apple TV in the U.S. Stay tuned to Collider for more.

Equal parts polished, practical and infinitely versatile, it’s the one layer that instantly makes even the simplest T-shirt and jeans combo feel more sophisticated. Celine Dion proved exactly that when she recently […]

A good trench coat is practically made for transitional dressing.

The slightly oversized shape is also what gives this version its expensive-looking appeal.
