Bob Dylan Made a Bold Prediction About This Rock Band’s Immortality and Time Has Proven Him Right
For over several decades, singer and songwriter Bob Dylan has been actively shaping and redefining the definition of popular music, reinventing the sound, so when he speaks about the future of music most people tend to listen. His distinct baritone voice has not only been the voice behind many hit songs such as “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Blowin’ in the Wind”, but he also has the ability to recognize lasting greatness in others. Dylan’s influence and musical talent didn’t just stop at his own catalog. Beyond his own songwriting genius, he was able to spot that the rock band U2 would be a musical act that would last decades.
The Moment Bob Dylan Told Bono U2 Would Outlive Every Era
Bob Dylan has, of course, long been revered for his artistry, so much so, in fact, that Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him as the best songwriter of all time, followed by another great legend, The Beatles’ Paul McCartney. And at 84, after nearly 60 years in the music industry, he is still going strong, with his last studio album, Shadow Kingdom, released in 2023 to critical and commercial success. Given Dylan’s prolific career, which includes 10 Grammy Awards, it might seem surprising that there are any artists of his caliber that he would single out as superior in talent, let alone hail them as having a career that would be remembered for a century or more.
Bob Dylan’s Greatest Diss Song Still One of the Best Songs Ever Written
This classic Bob Dylan song continues to be debated.
However, according to the rock ‘n’ roll and folk icon, there is at least one band whose music deserves such high praise. That band is U2. U2 is, of course, the iconic Irish rock band formed in 1976. Known for their eclectic sound, fervent lyrics, and dedication to various political causes, the group, led by Bono, has attained worldwide fame with hit albums such as How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and Under A Blood Red Sky. The popular band, which cites the Ramones, T. Rex, and David Bowie as inspirations, has also influenced artists such as The Killers and Muse. But to impress Dylan, well, that’s a special feat all on its own. According to Bono in his autobiography of the band, U2 by U2: The Definitive Band History, when he expressed admiration for Dylan, the latter shocked him with his own praise for the group: “I said to Bob Dylan, ‘People are going to be playing your songs for thousands of years. He said, ‘Man, they’re going to be listening to your songs too. It’s just no one’s going to know how to play them.”
Bob Dylan’s Admiration for the Beatles Reveals a Complicated Relationship
U2 aren’t the only artists Bob Dylan has praised. While it is well known that Dylan and The Beatles had a rather complicated relationship, often fraught with creative tensions, each act did heap both criticism and praise on the other, and there is no denying that the group drew inspiration from Dylan. However, Dylan had on occasions voiced his admiration for the Fab Four’s artistry and songs, particularly in their classic 1963 song “Do You Want to Know a Secret, which was primarily written by John Lennon with George Harrison as lead vocalist.
The nearly two-minute pop ballad was released as the second single off their hit debut album Please Please Me. “The radio was on from beyond a wall, and the sound was coming through in static,” Dylan once recalled about the track on 2004’s Chronicles: Vol 1. “They were so easy to accept, so solid. I remember when they first came out. They offered intimacy and companionship like no other group. Their songs would create an empire. It seemed like a long time ago. ‘Do You Want to Know a Secret’. A perfect ’50s sappy love ballad, and nobody but them could do it. Somehow, there was nothing wussy about it.”
Bob Dylan’s Classic ‘Just Like a Woman’ Features The Most Heartbreaking Lyrics of His Career
A track that dives into the devastating highs and lows of an unnamed woman whose identity remains debated today.
In addition to “Do You Want to Know a Secret”, Dylan also praised another Beatles song, “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” In 2015, he told NME Magazine, he praised not only the single but their legendary Ed Sullivan performance, “’I Want To Hold Your Hand’…They were doing things no one else was doing. Their chords were outrageous, just outrageous, and their harmonies made it all valid… I knew they were pointing in the direction of where music had to go.”

When Shawn Ryan’s The Night Agent premiered on Netflix in 2023, it took the streaming world by surprise. What initially looked like a solid but familiar political thriller quickly became one of the platform’s most-watched series of all time, tapping into a craving for high-stakes, old-school espionage storytelling that felt modern and compelling enough to hook viewers instantly. Season 1 worked because it combined high-octane action with sharp political intrigue while introducing its audience to the high-pressure world of Night Action, all anchored by Gabriel Basso’s compelling and grounded performance as Peter Sutherland.
Season 2 expanded that world significantly, pulling Peter out of the White House and sending him across the globe while introducing new characters, international threats, and a more tangled political conspiracy. While there were certainly solid moments in Season 2, it sometimes felt overpacked, juggling so many moving pieces that the plot grew convoluted and the emotional throughline occasionally got lost. With its return, however, The Night Agent returns to its roots, delivering a tighter, more focused season that feels completely sure of itself — and easily the strongest the series has produced so far.
What Is ‘The Night Agent’ Season 3 About?
Off the heels of Season 2, Peter is still operating as a double agent, waiting for a call from intelligence broker Jacob Monroe (Louis Herthum), when he takes on what initially appears to be a straightforward mission: track down FinCEN employee Jay Batra (Suraj Sharma), a man accused of murdering his boss after uncovering sensitive government intel. But when Peter locates Jay in Istanbul, it quickly becomes clear that nothing about this case is simple. What begins as a manhunt spirals into a sprawling investigation involving dark money, political influence, and paid assassins determined to eliminate anyone who gets too close. Teaming up with relentless journalist Isabel De Leon (Genesis Rodriguez), Peter finds himself chasing a conspiracy that turns out to hit much closer to home.
Meanwhile, back in Washington, Season 1 fan favorite Chelsea Arrington (Fola Evans-Akingbola) is once again stationed inside the White House, now serving in the Secret Service detail for President Richard Hagen (Ward Horton) and First Lady Jenny Hagen (Jennifer Morrison). It’s Chelsea who first senses that something isn’t adding up, and her instincts begin to point toward tensions and secrets within the administration that don’t align with the public image being projected. With Hagen’s presidency already shadowed by the election manipulation revealed in Season 2, it’s easy to assume corruption will flow from the usual places. But Season 3 cleverly subverts expectations, and as Peter’s investigation and Chelsea’s concerns begin to converge, The Night Agent delivers some of its most satisfying storytelling yet.
Rose’s Absence Makes Room for ‘The Night Agent’s Strongest Ensemble Yet in Season 3
Going into Season 3, one of the biggest talking points was the absence of Luciane Buchanan‘s Rose. While she was central to Season 1, by the end of Season 2, it felt like the right creative decision, and that’s not a knock on Buchanan’s performance. What bonded Peter and Rose was trauma and survival, not a sustainable future, and Season 2 often struggled to justify keeping her in Peter’s increasingly dangerous orbit. Rather than forcing that relationship to continue, Season 3 lets it rest while still keeping Rose as Peter’s moral compass, ensuring her impact on him isn’t cheapened by her absence.
This shake-up in the cast also makes room for a stronger supporting ensemble. It’s genuinely thrilling to see Fola Evans-Akingbola reprise her role as Chelsea Arrington after only a brief appearance last season. Her return adds emotional grounding and a shared history with Peter that feels earned, and Evans-Akingbola continues to prove she’s one of the show’s most reliable presences while, frankly, being a total badass this season. Jennifer Morrison brings complexity to First Lady Jenny Hagen, playing her as both supportive spouse and quietly ambitious political force. Stephen Moyer is deeply unsettling as “The Father,” a contract killer who balances tenderness toward his son with chilling ruthlessness. David Lyons, as Peter’s new Night Action partner, Adam, injects volatility and occasional levity, keeping both Peter and the audience unsure of where his allegiances truly lie.
The standout addition to the show’s cast in Season 3 is Genesis Rodriguez as journalist Isabel De Leon. She’s sharp, relentless, and emotionally layered, with a backstory that unfolds naturally over the course of the season. Rodriguez is magnetic on screen, and her dynamic with Gabriel Basso crackles. Isabel is the kind of reporter who prioritizes justice and truth, even when it puts her directly in harm’s way. Her instinct for transparency, which collides with Peter’s instinct for secrecy, creates a constant, electric tension that fuels some of the season’s most compelling moments.
‘The Night Agent’ Season 4 Just Got a Game-Changing Update Ahead of Season 3
The series stars Gabriel Basso.
‘The Night Agent’ Season 3 Showcases Gabriel Basso at His Best
The Night Agent Season 3 firmly establishes Gabriel Basso as the show’s greatest asset. Back in Season 1, Basso spoke about the importance of doing his own stunts, and that commitment pays off in a major way here. The action is expertly balanced and always feels earned, culminating in a standout sequence that, without giving too much away, features a spectacular car chase that ends in an underwater fistfight. That moment, along with several others, ranks among the most impressive action set pieces on television in a while.
What truly elevates the show’s action, though, is how vulnerable Season 3 allows Peter to be. It calls to mind Daniel Craig’s Bond in Casino Royale or Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt in recent Mission: Impossible installments, where heroes known for their skill are allowed to get genuinely beaten down. Shawn Ryan and his writers aren’t afraid to let Peter take real punishment this season. He gets hurt. A lot. He relies on allies. He barely escapes situations that feel truly lethal. That vulnerability allows Basso to expand his range, and we see him at his best, particularly in scenes opposite Stephen Moyer, where Peter feels more exposed than ever. Even with a strong ensemble around him, it’s Basso who ultimately carries the weight of the show.
With The Night Agent Season 3, Ryan and his creative team deliver a thriller that feels both entertaining and purposeful. It’s a far more disciplined approach than Season 2, and it clearly lays the groundwork for an even bigger fourth season. While a formal renewal hasn’t been ordered, the writers are already at work, with plans to film at least part of the next chapter in Los Angeles. By tightening its storytelling, deepening its characters, and delivering deliberate, hard-hitting action sequences, The Night Agent has officially delivered its strongest season yet.
The Night Agent Season 3 premieres February 19, with all 10 episodes dropping on Netflix.

Kid Rock’s upcoming Freedom 250 Tour includes first-class ticket options for $5,000.
According to Ticketmaster, the seats in the first four rows at each venue are referred to as “first-class seats.” A front row ticket to see Kid Rock, 55, on his upcoming tour costs $5,000 while the second row costs $4,000. The third row is for sale at $2,000 and the fourth row is listed for $1,000. There are no additional perks for “first-class seats” listed on the site.
Anything past the fourth row is labeled as a “standard ticket” which can range from $50 to $500.
Kid Rock will be joined by special guests Jon Pardi, Parker McCollum, Brantley Gilbert, Big & Rich and The Dirty Roses.
The Freedom 250 kicks off on Friday, May 1, in Dallas. Kid Rock will make stops in Raleigh, Charlotte, St. Louis, Tampa and more locations before wrapping up on June 20 in Burgetttown Pennsylvania.
Earlier this month, Kid Rock announced he was hitting the road.
“Get ready to rock on Kid Rock’s Freedom 250 Tour – The Road To Nashville with very special guests on select dates!” the country singer wrote via Instagram in February. “Tickets on sale Friday, Feb 13th @ 10AM local. 🔥.”
The singer’s tour announcement came days before he took the stage for the Turning Point USA All-American Halftime Show, an alternative program to Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show during Super Bowl LX. In addition to Kid Rock, the Turning Point concert featured Gilbert, 41, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.
Ahead of the show, Kid Rock shared his excitement for the chance to compete against the NFL during the biggest game of the year.
“We plan to play great songs for folks who love America,” Kid Rock said in a statement. “We’re approaching this show like David and Goliath. Competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible … or is it?”
The Turning Point concert, which also featured a tribute to late founder Charlie Kirk, reportedly averaged 20 million views across social platforms. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny’s halftime show averaged 128.2 million viewers. His performance was the fourth-most halftime show viewers in history, behind Kendrick Lamar in 2025, Michael Jackson in 1993 and Usher in 2024.
Zach Bryan has entered the 2026 Super Bowl halftime battle chat, slamming Turning Point USA for putting on a rival show during Bad Bunny’s official performance. “I don’t care what side you’re on, a bunch of adults throwing temper tantrums and their own halftime show is embarrassing as hell and the most cringe s*** on […]
After Kid Rock took the stage on Super Bowl Sunday, the musician was accused of lip-syncing during his performance of “Bawitdaba.” Kid Rock denied the allegations.
“My DJ, who actually raps that song with me, was not lit up,” he said during a February interview on Fox News’ The Ingraham Angle. “I’m jumping around the stage like a rabid monkey, rapping my song, and I’m taking breaths, and my DJ is filling in the other parts of it.”
Kid Rock also admitted that the Turning Point concert, which was livestreamed to fans, was pretaped.
“I even told them when I saw the rough cut, I was like, ‘You guys got to work on that sync. It’s off,’” he continued. “So it was just a syncing issue that they had, and I know they tried to get it right. It was very difficult.”
The reward has doubled as authorities intensify their search for Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom, Nancy Guthrie, 18 days after she was first reported missing.
Us Weekly has learned that 88-CRIME received an anonymous $100,000 donation “allowing the program to increase the reward for this case to $102,500,” according to an update from Pima County Sheriff’s Office on Wednesday, February 18, which noted that dollar amount is in addition to the $100,000 being offered from the FBI.
This brings the total amount to $202,500 to any information leading to Nancy’s location or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation will not be handling the administration of any non-FBI rewards related to the case involving the Today show host’s mother, per the latest update.
This development comes after Milwaukee attorney Michael Hupy, president of Milwaukee Crime Stoppers, posted via Facebook on Monday, February 16, that he would be offering a $100,000 reward through Crime Stoppers for the arrest of the perpetrator. (It has not been confirmed that the anonymous donation to 88-CRIME was sent by Hupy, 79.)
“PCSD has received various requests for confirmation of various topics including working with Mexican authorities, utilizing polygraph tests, specific video surveillance requests, financial analysis, etc. PCSD is not confirming or releasing any details regarding those topics at this time,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Office told Us about their current efforts.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is sharing an update on the Nancy Guthrie investigation as the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom continues for a third week. In a Tuesday, February 17, interview with NewsNation’s Brian Entin, Nanos was asked, “How long can this go on for, in terms of the investigation at this level?” “Because […]
Meanwhile, investigators are currently analyzing biological evidence found at Nancy’s residence in Tucson, Arizona.
Nancy was last seen at her home after she was dropped off by family at 9:48 p.m. on January 31. Authorities believe she was “taken” while “asleep” sometime during the early morning hours of February 1.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos believes the Ozark Trail backpack worn by the unidentified suspect in newly released Nest doorbell camera footage was purchased at a Walmart.
“So we’re working with our Walmart managers all across the state to try to find out how many sales there were of that backpack in the last 20, 30 days, the last 60 days,” Nanos told NBC News. “And can we do something with that? Can we break it? Maybe we’ll find a credit card or a bank card. Maybe we’ll find a video of the guy walking in.”
The FBI described the suspect as a man that is 5-foot-9-inches to 5-foot-10-inches tall and of average build.
Authorities have found “DNA other than Nancy Guthrie’s and those in close contact to her” as the investigation into her disappearance continues. The DNA evidence was discovered and collected at her property, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared in a statement with multiple media outlets on Friday, February 13. “Investigators are working to identify who […]
Nanos said they’re exploring all possible clues and leads, stating that it appears the suspect filmed on Nancy’s porch appeared to be wearing a ring underneath the pair of black gloves. As of Wednesday, there have been no DNA matches for the single black glove found one and a half miles away from Nancy’s residence. DNA profiles are currently under lab analysis.
As the search for Nancy continues, Savannah, 54, issued a new video via Instagram on Sunday, February 15, pleading for the safe return of her mother, stating, “It is never too late to do the right thing.”
“We still have hope, and we still believe,” she added. “And I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is that it’s never too late, and you’re not lost or alone. And it is never too late to do the right thing, and we are here, and we believe … in the essential goodness of every human being.”
The podcaster has raved about her husband’s manhood size behind him and is not shying away from confirming it to his face, either, insisting that it is what he would have loved to hear.
Jelly Roll charted a new course for his life after a dramatic weight loss episode, a change he insists also reflects in his spiritual life through an improved bond with God.

The Singer Credited Weight Loss For An Improved Sex Life
Jelly himself is not exactly shy with the words, just like his better half, and earlier in the year, he spilled some major bedroom secrets while speaking with Men’s Health.
As noted by The Blast, the media personality affirmed that after losing 275 pounds over the last five years, he has provided with a new burst of energy. “I have the sex drive of a 17-year-old again. I’m f-cking pouncing on my wife. We’re having daytime sex again. It’s f-cking awesome,” Jelly noted.
In a previous interview, the musician explained that weighing 500 pounds negatively affected their sex life, and they would always find themselves struggling with the perfect bedroom rhythm.

Jelly Roll Took Very Active Steps In Turning His Life Around
The country singer revealed on Joe Rogan’s podcast that turning 39 was all the sign he needed to begin the journey towards a healthier future. He recalled feeling like he already rigged the game by cheating death a couple of times, and he was left to deal with lots of heart issues.
He also revealed that at some point, his wife had to put two queen beds in their bedroom because he could not fit on one anymore. Jelly continued that simple tasks began to feel complicated to him, and it became embarrassing to see himself struggling.
The first point of figuring it out for the singer began with him addressing the faulty lines in his diet and adding running to his fitness routine. In 2018, the Grammy winner described weighing 500 pounds as one of the most embarrassing moments of his life, which came in the way of his living his life to the fullest.
“I wanna sky dive, bungee jump, ride a bull, parasail, ride roller coasters, I want to LIVE a normal life and have a normal relationship with food,” the star shared at the time.

Weight Loss: The Recipe For Fatherhood
Jelly noted last month that several vital changes occurred in his life after shedding the pounds, one of which is an improved relationship with his kids. He raved about being a better father now because he even started coaching his son’s basketball team, something he could not do years ago.
“Dude, when you’re 550 lbs, you wonder if they have a seat big enough for you, you know what I mean? You definitely don’t think about trying to coach a team,” the singer noted.
Jelly has in the past credited his kids, Bailee Ann and Noah Buddy, with motivation to live a healthier life. The star usually brings his kids to his shows and spends time with them whenever he can.
The country singer and Bunnie, on the other hand, are also trying to expand their family, according to her admissions on a podcast. The singer’s wife noted that becoming parents at the end of the day is ultimately in God’s hands, and if that does not work out, adoption is another strong option for them.

New Easy-to-Binge 10-Episode Crime Thriller Steals ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’s Viewers on Netflix
Netflix has to have a hit legal drama at all times at this point. It’s almost as if the streamer offers the same audience a fresh adjacent fix: something paced for bingeing, built on case-of-the-week momentum, and easy to drop into without homework. That’s what’s happening right now with a newly surging 10-episode crime thriller starring Melissa Roxburgh, Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie, and Sara Garcia, and it’s sliding into the exact viewing lane that The Lincoln Lawyer has owned for a while.
The show’s hook is engineered for quick addiction. It’s a manhunt procedural with an escalation engine baked in: a small, specialized team is assembled after the country’s most dangerous killers escape from a prison that isn’t supposed to exist, turning each episode into a capture mission that feeds a larger conspiracy. That structure matters on Netflix because it creates “one more episode” gravity the same way courtroom dramas do — problem introduced, pressure applied, resolution delivered, and a breadcrumb dropped for the bigger season arc.
The show in question, titled The Hunting Party, has climbed to #2 on Netflix’s U.S. Top 10 TV list as of February 18, 2026, while The Lincoln Lawyer sits at #6 on the same daily chart — a clean picture of how the audience is being redistributed in real time. That rise tracks with what you’d expect from a newly activated catalog add: the title hits the list, gets surfaced harder, and then gains momentum as more viewers sample it. And it’s not just a Netflix-only story either: the series is also charting on Prime Video at the #4 spot in Turkey this week.
There’s a Practical Reason Why ‘The Hunting Party’ Is Trending
The Hunting Party, originally aired in January 2025, is now spiking because Netflix has made it newly accessible to viewers who didn’t watch it on NBC during its original run, which changes the viewing context. The other reason is that the show’s second installment recently started airing, so it’s currently being discussed more, too. Therefore, while a weekly network procedural can feel routine, a fully available Netflix season plays like a new binge drop, especially with a recognizable lead like Melissa Roxburgh anchoring the hook.
The new season, however, isn’t yet available to stream on Netflix and will only be available once the complete season has premiered. This is exactly how Netflix treated the lead of legal drama Suits, and it worked out well.
The Hunting Party Season 2 airs new episodes weekly. The first season is available to watch on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for Love Story Episodes 1-3.
Ryan Murphy is a producer linked to never-ending controversies courtesy of his ongoing Monster anthology series, but Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette represents a far more thoughtful approach to a ripped-from-the-headlines celebrity story. There have been many films and shows centered around the Kennedy family, but Love Story explores the passionate, tempestuous marriage between John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon) before their tragic deaths in a 1999 plane crash. The Kennedys were involved with many powerful figures in both Washington, D.C. and Hollywood, and Love Story depicts the brief romance between JFK Jr. and the actress Daryl Hannah, portrayed in the show by Dree Hemingway.
Due to his family’s influence and political legacy, Kennedy was encouraged to pursue a career in service of his country and completed the bar exam in New York after two unsuccessful attempts. At the same time, Kennedy was also involved in lifestyle and popular culture institutions, and began dating Hannah in the late 1980s before they split up in 1994. Hemingway admitted that the actors were encouraged not to contact the subjects they portrayed, which has remained consistent on all the anthology shows that Murphy has produced except American Crime Story: Impeachment, in which Monica Lewinsky was involved. This may have been a noble attempt to ensure that the depiction of these figures was unbiased, but it’s more problematic when the series also invents plot elements that skew the way that events are perceived.
‘Love Story’ Doesn’t Accurately Depict JFK Jr.’s Relationship With Daryl Hannah
Love Story is only focused on a condensed period of time within Kennedy’s life, meaning that it only shows the end portion of his relationship with Hannah. Despite reports that they had been happily dating within the first few years of meeting, Love Story doesn’t explore any of the affection that Kennedy and Hannah had for each other, since the series begins when their relationship is already in a downward spiral. Even when ignoring the fact that Love Story only depicts Hannah in a negative light, implying she was completely oblivious to the media attention that Kennedy had inflicted upon him, the series doesn’t grant her the depth provided to other supporting characters like Calvin Klein (Alessandro Nivola).
Murphy should consider returning to the anthology series that brought him the most prestige.
Love Story‘s most glaring invention so far is the implied tension between Hannah and Kennedy’s mother, Jackie Onassis (Naomi Watts). There are conflicting reports about whether there was any friction between the two women, but Love Story assumes the worst by suggesting that Jackie’s objections prevented Kennedy from marrying Hannah. It’s also not a particularly even-sided conflict, as the series is far more sympathetic to Jackie, who is portrayed as a helpful and supportive maternal figure before her death in the third episode, “America’s Widow.”
‘Love Story’ Contributes to a Skewed Version of American History
Interpreting historical ambiguities may have been inevitable for Love Story, but the show’s characterization of Hannah is especially unfortunate given how over-the-top and obnoxious her portrayal is. In addition to implying that Hannah’s involvement with drug users caused stress within Kennedy’s life, the series also includes a strange moment in which she equates the death of her dog to the loss of Jackie. Beyond a larger unwillingness to contact Hannah, Love Story’s producers didn’t follow any accounts that were slightly sympathetic to her position; the show was inspired by the non-fiction novel Once Upon a Time by Elizabeth Beller and also draws from The Other Man, a memoir by Bessette’s former lover, Michael Berman (Michael Nathanson). Considering that Love Story is otherwise a very well-crafted drama show that is thoughtful in its approach to an unfortunate situation, Hannah’s highly negative portrayal feels more glaring in contrast.
Although Hannah has yet to make any public statements about the series, the real actress might not be able to change the narrative, given that Murphy has largely ignored criticisms from the subjects of his other shows. There’s no case for libel when the series states outright that some events are fictionalized, but given the frequent allusions to very specific events and dates, Love Story may give many viewers the impression that its version is mostly accurate. It’s worth noting that in the aftermath of the crash, Hannah did not show any ill will towards Kennedy or Bessette and has been praised in recent years for her advocacy on behalf of environmentalist groups. It’s a shame that her essence was reduced to a stereotype of an out-of-touch actress.
The actress is currently dating Hypnotist Jim Curtis, but reports claim he is “deeply intimidated” by her past high-profile relationship with Hollywood star Brad Pitt, whom she married in 2000, before their divorce five years later.
In recent years, the former lovers have seemingly rekindled a friendly relationship, with Brad Pitt even attending Jennifer Aniston’s 50th birthday celebration in 2019.

Why Jennifer Aniston’s New Man Is Seemingly ‘Intimidated’ By Brad Pitt
After hard launching their relationship last November, Aniston reminded the public of her blossoming romance with Curtis when she shared a sweet snapshot with the hypnotist visible in the background on Valentine’s Day.
However, despite the subtle but clear stamp of love, it appears that Curtis is still troubled by her past, particularly her former romance with Hollywood veteran Brad Pitt.
Pitt and Aniston were married for five years, and despite their 2005 split, their relationship still resonates within industry circles.
They have also seemingly remained amicable, as evidenced by Pitt’s appearance at Aniston’s 50th birthday celebration in 2019.
All of these have allegedly left Curtis feeling he is not up to par, especially given Pitt’s glittering Hollywood career.

“Jim is deeply intimidated,” one insider said, per a report. “Brad Pitt isn’t just an ex-husband. He’s a cultural icon — one of the sexiest men to ever live. That body alone became part of pop history.”

Jim Curtis Feels The ‘Brad-And-Jen Narrative’ Is A ‘Lot To Carry’
According to other sources who spoke to Rob Shuter’s #Shuterscoop, Curtis is aware that conversations about Brad Pitt and Aniston’s past relationship persist, even as his own relationship with the actress continues to flourish.
This has at times made things feel overwhelming for him, even though he is not actively trying to compete with Aniston’s past.
“The Brad-and-Jen narrative never really died,” said an insider. “It’s not that Jim thinks he’s competing — it’s that he’s stepping into something the public still romanticizes.”
“He’s confident, but he’s human. When your girlfriend’s former marriage is still treated like unfinished business by fans, that’s a lot to carry,” a second source echoed.

For her part, Aniston appears focused on the here and now, even as Hollywood continues to fixate on her past.

Rumors that Aniston and Curtis were romantically involved surfaced in mid-2025 and were officially confirmed by US Weekly in July.
At the time, the outlet claimed that the duo “are being super private but have been spending a lot of time together.”
The claim was later confirmed by the Daily Mail, which also noted how excited Aniston’s friends were about the relationship.
“Jennifer is dating Jim and is very happy, but she’s still taking things slowly for now. Her friends have been buzzing with excitement over the new romance, and those who have met him think they are a perfect match,” a source shared.
“Jen feels very connected to Jim, as they have the same level of emotional intelligence, unlike some of her previous suitors,” they added.
That same month, People Magazine revealed that the duo was introduced by friends and that Aniston feels Curtis is “very different from anyone she’s dated before.”

The Couple Became Instagram Official In November 2025
Last November, Aniston took to Instagram to show off their romance by sharing a loved-up photo of the two of them to celebrate Curtis turning 50.
“Happy birthday, my love,” captioned the black-and-white photo, which marked her first public acknowledgement of her romance with Curtis. She also added the word “Cherished,” alongside a heart emoji.
At the time, Curtis reciprocated the show of love with pictures of them on his page. He added the caption, “If this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up.”
Jim Curtis Shared A Sweet Birthday Tribute To Jennifer Aniston
More recently, he gave back the same birthday energy with a tribute to Aniston when she turned 57 earlier in the month.
He shared a monochrome picture of himself with Aniston sharing an intimate kiss and another of them laughing intensely while posing for the camera aboard what appeared to be a yacht.
Curtis also added a “HBD my [heart],” captioned alongside a funky birthday song playing in the background.
The media personality, who previously shared that she was offered $12 Million attached with a condition that she signs a non-disclosure agreement, spills more on what her life would have been if she accepted the terms.
Brianna LaPaglia has been vocal about the downsides of her relationship with Zach Bryan, which lasted for almost a year. She previously noted that the mishaps in her relationship with men may steer her towards having a taste of the other side.

Brianna LaPaglia Reveals Mind-Blowing Details Of Zach Bryan’s NDA
LaPaglia sat down with the hosts on a recent episode of “Impaulsive,” where she spilled the tea on the non-disclosure agreement she was presented with after her split from Bryan. She told Logan Paul and Mike Majlak that the agreement would have prohibited her from being on social media.
Explaining further, she said that she would not have the liberty of posting on the internet, doing her job, or speaking about her ex unless it was in a positive light.
She vehemently insisted that, contrary to popular opinion, even if she could go back and take the money, she would not, as that would put her life under surveillance. “It was out of the question. It was so controlling,” the podcaster added.

LaPaglia also noted that the “insane” offer included “all of Barstool [Sports],” also covering and controlling her then-“BFFs” podcast co-hosts, Josh Richards and Dave Portnoy’s activities.
She further shared that the contract, which was supposed to span for five years before the $12 million was completely paid, will demand regular check-ins with her ex’s manager.
This revelation prompted one of the hosts to interject and state that said manager would have been “like a probation officer.”

The Podcaster Labeled Her Ex A ‘Psychopath’
Continuing the conversation, LaPaglia shared that Bryan often made fun of her career as a podcast host, calling it embarrassing. In her words, “He hated everything to do with podcasting… he thinks it’s like the worst thing ever.”
After she disclosed the details of the agreement, Paul could not come to terms with the fact that Bryan wanted that amount of control over her even after their relationship had ended. He said:
“I am failing to understand why he wanted that level of control over you post-relationship,” to which she immediately responded, “because he is a psychopath, a narcissist, and a very scary person.”

The 26-year-old stated that she wanted that chapter of her life to be over, adding that she shared her story publicly for herself and other girls who are probably going through a similar situation. Paul and Majlak applauded her stance to reject the multi-million dollar deal, tagging it a noble act.

The Internet Sensation Previously Stuggled With The Decision To Turn Down The Money
Shortly after their breakup in 2024, LaPaglia went public with the details of their split on her podcast, where she announced that she was offered a large sum of money to stay completely silent about her experiences with the singer.
LaPaglia’s co-host, Dave Portnoy, noted she went back and forth over accepting the deal before she ultimately decided that she did not want the “blood money.” The Blast shared that she admitted that it was a moral battle for her at the time, considering the financial and economic status of her family.
Furthermore, she disclosed that another thing that sealed the deal on her decision was her experience with Bryan emotionally abusing her. She claimed that taking the money would have cost her peace of mind, as she would lose sleep in fear of what emotional abuse tactic he would resort to.

The Barstool Sport Personality Considered Dating Women Post Breakup
After her messy breakup with the “Pink Skies” singer, LaPaglia got candid about the possibilities of her dating life taking a turn. She shared her intentions of testing the waters in same-sex relationships.
The Blast reported that her preference in the dating pool was already tilting towards women, owing to the way things turned out with men in the past. She also revealed that it would not be a first for her because she had engaged in same sex dating before.
“I think that they’re better, so maybe I really am fully a lesbian, so maybe that’s why none of my relationships with men have worked out,” the podcaster told her co-host Josh Richards. However, LaPaglia noted that at the time, she was content with remaining single and enjoying life on her own.
Inside Zach Bryan and Brianna LaPaglia’s Relationship
The estranged lovers first met in May 2023 at the Academy of Country Music Awards. A month later, they shared the stage during Bryan’s concert at Forest Hills Stadium in New York City. By July of the same year, they confirmed the status of their romantic relationship.
The duo had their red carpet debut at the 2024 Grammys, where Bryan bagged his first Grammy, stepping out together hand in hand as they made points to highlight their love for each other publicly.
The content creator was head over heels for Bryans and had no issues admitting it. She often voiced her feelings on her podcast and showed great support for her then-boyfriend’s music career.

As shared by The Blast, the former lovebirds celebrated their first anniversary together in July 2024 with sweet social media posts, and three months later, the relationship hit rock bottom. Bryan announced the split online in October.
Will the heat between Brianna LaPaglia and Zach Bryan eventually settle?
Shia LaBeouf
Home Hit With Calls to Cops Before Mia Goth Split
Published
Cops were called out to Shia LaBeouf‘s Los Angeles area home more than once prior to his breakup with Mia Goth … according to police records obtained by TMZ.
Docs show that authorities showed up to the home belonging to Shia for calls involving a disturbance of the peace and an alleged stalking incident.
According to the records, in November 2024, a call was logged for a “husband and wife” disturbance of the peace, where an “uncooperative female” was repeatedly heard on the 911 call saying “just go” — stating she was trying to get her husband to leave.
The docs describe a male being heard in the background cursing … before the call was eventually cleared. The Pasadena City PIO confirms the incident did involve the residents of the home … however, no full police report was required.
In another call from August 2025, a caller told cops an “old friend” was mentally ill and she thinks she is married to Shia LaBeouf … stating she is “murderously angry with him, appears to be stalking him and is going to his home.”
According to the docs, the caller — who appears to be a fan of Shia and did not live in his neighborhood — told cops they saw the individual obsessing over Shia via their Instagram profile.
The caller said they were simply concerned when seeing these posts online and claimed the person believed they were married to Shia. It is unknown if Shia was even aware of this incident, but the docs mention Shia’s home address.
2026
TMZ.com
As we first reported … Shia was arrested Monday night in New Orleans after allegedly punching a bar employee, sparking a brawl before cops arrived. He was later charged with two counts of simple battery.
The arrest came months after his split from Mia Goth. We broke the story … following the breakup, Shia relocated from Los Angeles to New Orleans in December, purchasing a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Uptown cottage for just over $1 million.
Police in Alabama have identified human remains discovered in a coal bin as a man who vanished 38 years ago and was the subject of a long-lingering cold case.
DNA testing on the remains — which were first found in late 2004 — finally returned a hit for 21-year-old Bryant Keith Bates.
Us Weekly confirmed Bates was last seen alive on November 15, 1988, after he had left his family’s home in North East Lake for a funeral.
When he failed to return from his friend’s funeral, Bates’ relatives grew suspicious and reported him missing to the Birmingham Police Department.
Early on in the missing persons probe, his family expressed grave concerns the young man was killed intentionally.
Back on November 22, 2004, police were contacted by an exterminator, who told them he had discovered human skeletal remains buried inside a coal bin while working in the crawl space of a South East Lake rental property.
A 4-year-old boy was found dead about two miles away from his Alabama home following his disappearance on New Year’s Eve, according to authorities. His father, Jameson Kyle Boley, was arrested on an explosives charge before the discovery of his body, NBC News reported. Walker County Sheriff Nick Smith told reporters that the charge was […]
The skeletal remains were brought to the Jefferson County Coroner/Medical Examiner’s Office for examination, and it was determined the victim was male and likely of African descent. They estimated his age to be between 17- and 30-years-old and said that he stood 5-foot-10.
Officials say that Bates was last seen wearing a pair of plaid pants with a white shirt that had blue trim — the same clothing that was found along with the skeletal remains.
A Coca-Cola brand watch and a chain necklace were also recovered, and both belonged to Bates.
An autopsy determined that Bates was shot in the head. His manner of death was deemed a homicide, and now, investigators are trying to bring his killer to justice.
Police do not have an idea at the moment how long ago Bates was killed. They also have failed to discuss any possible suspects they may have in mind.
Information about the unidentified remains was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System in 2015, but no match was found.
Three years later, a bone sample was submitted to the University of Texas Center for Human Identification (UNTCHI) for analysis, and the results confirmed the remains were those of a man. A profile was entered into the Combined DNA Index System, however, there still was no match.
Skeletal remains spotted on the shores of a Washington beach about 20 years ago belong to an Oregon man who went missing a few months before the discovery was made, a DNA analysis has confirmed. The remains found on a beach in Taholah, in Grays Harbor County, in November 2006 were identified as 72-year-old Clarence […]
Then, in March 2025, officials took a bone sample and submitted it to Othram, Inc., for further analysis. The DNA profile developed from that specific analysis confirmed that the remains were of African descent and aided genealogists in developing new leads about who the man might be.
Officials claim those fresh leads were sent to the Jefferson County Coroner/Medical Examiner’s Office and allowed them to locate immediate family members of the deceased.
In Feb. 2026, officials say UNTCHI performed DNA testing of Bates and confirmed that the missing remains that were found were those of Bates.
The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office says the identification was made possible by utilizing forensic genetic genealogy analysis (FGG) and is the second positive ID using the process. Officials say they currently have 26 cases being analyzed by the FGG process.
