I don’t need another reason to get excited about fall dressing, but Amazon’s massive new shoe selection gave me one anyway. Its Fall Shoe Shop is overflowing with 2026 trends I’ve been seeing everywhere, including finds featuring deep burgundy hues, soft suede, animal prints and throwback silhouettes. I narrowed down the seemingly endless options to 13 pairs I actually want in my closet.

The real appeal is how easily these shoes can breathe new life into clothes you already own: Add a statement sneaker to straight-leg jeans, pair a polished ballet flat with work trousers or let a tall boot take your favorite mini dress into cooler weather. There are also easy slip-ons for school drop-offs and errands, plus dressier options for dinner plans when heels sound like too much work. You can start refreshing your rotation for $20.

Martial arts movies aren’t as prevalent as they were during their rise to international fame in the 1970s, but the 2020s have proven the genre is far from dead. From the absurd Best Picture-winning sci-fi action-comedy Everything Everywhere All At Once to the brutal The Raid spiritual successor, The Furious, and gun-fu’s bloody crescendo, John Wick: Chapter 4, filmmakers from across the industry have made this an era of creative and thrilling features honoring and iterating on what came before. We Are Not Alone director Fergal Costello is now looking to deliver his own riotous spin on the genre with Kung Fu Deadly, a comedic supernatural action-adventure starring popular YouTuber and actor Steven He. Ahead of its world premiere at Fantastic Fest, Collider can exclusively share a new image of He fighting through the pain during a deadly battle.

Kung Fu Deadly revolves around two inseparable friends — Danny (He) and Frank (Michael Tient) — trying to get by in Dublin while running their rinky-dink pest control company. Everything changes, however, when they stumble upon a gang of Chinese criminals trying to resurrect a Jiangshi, and the Taoist guardian who’s trying to thwart their evil scheme. Upon meeting, Lien immediately deduces that Danny is meant to be the other guardian fighting alongside her because of his lineage. While Danny has remained completely unaware of this truth and hasn’t spent a moment of his life training for such a duty, he’s now struck at a crossroads, forced to choose between his current blissful tedium and saving the world. Fortunately, he and Frank have plenty of bumbling experience in extermination.

Killing vermin and vanquishing evil beings may be similar in principle, but are far apart in practice. Our exclusive still sees Danny struggling to hone the kung fu skills needed to combat the supernatural threats and the criminals he’ll come across. He’s seen battling Min Chun (Fiona Xie) wielding two sai, holding one of her strikes back with a staff while desperately gripping the other blade with his hand. It’s clear he’s not quite the fighter his fellow guardian is, but he’s not alone, at least. Kung Fu Deadly is, at its heart, billed as a positive story about the power of friendship against the backdrop of a funny martial arts movie made by creatives with serious experience creating stylish action.

‘Kung Fu Deadly’ Is Full of Martial Arts Veterans

Accompanying Costello behind the camera is action director Lee Huang, known for his work designing and coordinating stunts for Netflix’s cult favorite Warrior Nun series, as well as The Matrix: Resurrections and countless other projects. The set was packed with veteran stunt performers as well to ensure that, even if humor and heart were front and center, Kung Fu Deadly would still offer worthwhile action to match. The cast of up-and-coming stars also includes Gemma Chua-Tran, who is part of the cast of the much-anticipated live-action Gundam movie with Sydney Sweeney and Noah Centineo, as Danny’s fellow guardian Lien, alongside A Thousand Blows‘ Jason Tobin and Mortal Kombat II‘s Max Huang. Paul Markey and Paddy McDonald, meanwhile, penned the script.

Kung Fu Deadly is set to world premiere at Fantastic Fest, which will be held at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in Austin, Texas from September 17 through 24.

Sean Grayson, the officer who was convicted of fatally shooting Sonya Massey in 2024, has reportedly died just months into serving his prison sentence.

Sean Grayson Reportedly Dies Months Into Serving Prison Sentence

According to the New York Post, Sean Grayson passed away in prison on Sunday, August 23. Per the outlet, Grayson’s lawyer, Daniel Fultz, confirmed that he passed early that day.

Furthermore, the New York Post reports that Grayson had been diagnosed with colon cancer before the July 2024 shooting of Sonya Massey. To note, however, USA Today reports that Grayson was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2023 and stage 4 rectal cancer, liver, and lung cancer in 2024.

In January, his lawyer reportedly shared that the cancer had spread to his liver and lungs. In July, a three-member Illinois Prisoner Review Board reportedly denied Grayson’s request for early medical release.

At this time, it remains unclear whether Grayson’s death was related to his diagnosis.

Social media users reacted to Sean Grayson’s passing in TSR’s comment section.

More On The Fatal Killing Of Sonya Massey By Sean Grayson

As The Shade Room previously reported, Sean Grayson was convicted of the second-degree murder of Sonya Massey in October 2025. This, after he entered her home alongside his partner on the evening of July 6, 2024. This, in response to a speculated intruder. Ultimately, Grayson shot Massey three times despite observing her in a state of distress. In court, Grayson argued that he thought Massey was going to injure him by throwing boiling water on him.

In January 2026, Grayson was sentenced to 20 years behind bars, per The Shade Room. The New York Post reports that Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci, lawyers for the Massey family, sent condolences to the Grayson family following news of his death. However, they reportedly maintained that it “does not bring Sonya back.”

“Sonya Massey’s death was unjustifiable, and she should be alive today. Sean Grayson’s death in custody from cancer does not bring Sonya back,” they reportedly said, per WLS. “We wish his family prayers of peace, as we do for all who grieve a loved one. Sonya’s family knows that pain all too well and will grieve her loss the rest of their days.”

Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for Lanterns Episode 2.

For longtime Green Lantern fans, the reception to Lanterns has been sort of split. Many have enjoyed the reinterpretation of the comic book mythos, with Kyle Chandler‘s Hal Jordan being a breath of fresh air after the previous live-action adaptation. Some feel that the DC Comics stories aren’t being honored as well as they should be, as the HBO series takes a more grounded approach to the characters’ lore. Wherever you stand, the revelation that Manhunters are the next big threat to Hal and John’s (Aaron Pierre) investigation is an exciting one — provided you know what a Manhunter even is, of course.

‘Lanterns’ Episode 2 Namedrops the Manhunters as the Next Biggest Threat to Earth

When John Stewart is kidnapped by the mysterious Antaan (Paul Ben-Victor), he learns the dark truth about the Guardians of the Universe. Before the Green Lantern Corps took over as the DCU’s biggest space cops, there were the Manhunters. According to Antaan, these creatures were synthetic beings that could pose as organic lifeforms, shapeshifting to blend in with their surroundings before sparking an alien genocide. In fact, it was Antaan’s own people who were slaughtered, with the dead aliens found in Rushville, Nebraska, being the select few that tracked down the last surviving Manhunter to the American Midwest. As the alien-in-disguise explains to John, that the last Manhunter was captured by the Green Lantern Abin Sur and taken to be executed — only that execution never happened.

Lanterns proposes that the surviving Manhunter has been living on Earth for decades, ever since Abin Sur crash-landed and bequeathed his power ring to Hal Jordan, making him the first official Green Lantern of Earth. These beings are not to be confused with Martian Manhunter, the superhero who hails from Mars, or the other costumed characters who have gone by the name “Manhunter,” usually heroes from Earth who sought justice outside the justice system. The Manhunters we’re talking about were a race of robotic peacekeepers first created by the Guardians to patrol the galaxy efficiently and without the potential loss of life. Unfortunately, that wasn’t how things ultimately played out. In the comics, we later learn that the Manhunters eventually conspired to rebel against the Guardians, having come to their own conclusions about the way that the galaxy should be run. This often put them in conflict with the Green Lantern Corps, their successors.

Nevertheless, the Manhunters continued to patrol the galaxy, looking for those they could convert to their cause. (Ironically, human Mark Shaw would take up the Manhunter identity and color scheme because of the Manhunters’ influence.) “No man escapes the Manhunters” is the common mantra of this uncompromising force, and they had no trouble making sure that everyone knew it. However, it wasn’t until the “Secret Origin” story arc by Geoff Johns that we began to understand why the Manhunters rebelled. It turns out that the androids’ programming had been corrupted by an Oan named Krona, resulting in a massacre where the Manhunters annihilated an entire sector: Sector 666. Only five survived the onslaught, including the future Red Lantern Atrocitus, whose backstory is quite similar to Antaan’s on Lanterns — no wonder so many are theorizing that he’s Atrocitus in disguise.

Manhunters Have a Storied History in the Green Lantern Mythos

Similar to how they are described on Lanterns, Johns’ “No Fear” arc reveals a Manhunter that appears quite human before eradicating folks around him. From what we can tell, Lanterns has taken some inspiration from this iteration in particular. Still, there’s no telling what might happen or how the Manhunters may evolve throughout the series. Of course, some are no doubt hoping that we’ll get a depiction that’s closer to their comic book counterparts or even what we saw from the robotic race on Justice League or Green Lantern: The Animated Series, but at this point that seems unlikely. Whatever form they take, Manhunters remain Hal and John’s biggest threat thus far — well, besides each other, if Sinestro (Ulrich Thomsen) is to be believed.

Although the Manhunters first appeared in an issue of Justice League of America, the androids became synonymous with Green Lantern lore over time. Almost every major adaptation of the character has battled them in some form or another, and they continue to plague the Green Lantern Corps as recently as the current DC runs. While they didn’t appear in the highly unpopular 2011 Green Lantern film (which still has its merits), they were still the main antagonists of the tie-in video game Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters. In short, the Manhunters have been on the docket for a proper adaptation for a long time. Here’s hoping that Lanterns can follow through.

A Twitch streamer found himself at the center of a viral controversy after a heated clash with his mother played out live online. 18-year-old Nitro_Camden‘s sudden surge in viewers quickly gave way to disturbing footage, raising widespread concerns about his treatment at home.

The incident ultimately drew both skepticism and support online, while several prominent streamers stepped in with money, subscriptions, and career opportunities for Camden.

Twitch streamer Nitro_Camden’s sudden exposure to thousands of viewers took a disturbing turn when his mother confronted him during a livestream.

The 18-year-old was reportedly broadcasting to a small audience when popular streamer StableRonaldo raided his channel, sending roughly 15,000 viewers his way. Camden celebrated the unexpected surge, but the noise apparently drew his mother’s attention.

Footage circulating from the August 21 stream shows her entering his room and interfering with his equipment before the confrontation escalated. She could be heard berating Camden, calling him a “failure” and claiming he brought “no value to the household.”

The dispute then turned physical. Clips appear to show Camden’s mother grabbing and striking him as he largely refrained from fighting back. She also threatened to kick the streamer out of the home during the heated exchange.

Fans Rally Around The Streamer After Viral Incident

The footage quickly spread across social media, turning what should have been a major breakthrough for the young streamer into a viral family confrontation witnessed by thousands. The disturbing scenes drew an emotional response online, with many viewers siding firmly with Camden and condemning his mother’s alleged behavior.

On Reddit, one commenter argued that parents who behave this way are exactly the ones their children should “be cutting off.” Another shared a painful personal story about suffering similar treatment from a parent and said, “It f-cking sucks.”

Others focused on Camden’s future. One user hoped he would move out and pursue action over any money allegedly taken from him, while another simply wrote, “All kids deserve parents, but not all parents deserve kids.”

However, not everyone was convinced by what they were watching. Several commenters questioned whether the situation had been staged for attention, with one dismissing it as “Fake as hell.”

Streamers Also Rally Around Nitro_Camden After Viral Incident

Camden also received a wave of support from fellow content creators, with several offering more than words of encouragement. Streamer Cinna reportedly provided financial assistance and helped Camden replace his phone. Agent00 went a step further by offering the teenager a brand deal with a 50/50 earnings split.

Plaqueboymax, JasonTheWeen, Jynxzi, and Davis also reportedly gifted subscriptions to Camden’s channel, helping capitalize on his newfound audience. Lacy sent financial support and described the community’s response as a “blessing in disguise.”

MoistCr1TiKaL was among those who publicly addressed the controversy. He reportedly condemned Camden’s mother’s actions and argued that she should be arrested. The streamer also praised Camden for showing restraint during the physical altercation. The support arrived as Camden adjusted to life away from his mother’s home, with the teenager reportedly staying with a friend while seeking more permanent housing.

StableRonaldo Reacts To Nitro_Camden’s Viral Family Drama

StableRonaldo was stunned by the turn of events after his attempt to boost Camden’s channel ended in a viral family controversy.

The popular streamer had chosen Camden for a Twitch raid at the end of his August 20 broadcast, taking the St. Louis creator from single-digit viewership into the thousands. After clips of what followed began circulating online, Ronaldo took to X to address the situation. “Wtf is wrong with people,” he wrote. “Tried to help out a smaller streamer and his mom does this??”

Ronaldo’s decision to raid Camden ultimately became a turning point for the young creator. What began as an effort to introduce a little-known streamer to a much larger audience put Camden in front of viewers who witnessed the troubling encounter and subsequently rallied behind him.

Camden’s audience continued growing in the aftermath, with Complex reporting that he was later averaging more than 5,000 viewers.

How Twitch’s Raid Feature Became A Game-Changer For Creators

What happened to Camden also highlights the potentially enormous impact of one of Twitch’s longstanding community features.

A raid allows a broadcaster to send their viewers directly into another creator’s stream. Twitch says the practice is designed to help creators share audiences, build connections, and grow their respective communities.

Interestingly, Twitch didn’t invent the concept. Streamers themselves began using raids to support other creators before the platform officially incorporated the feature in 2017.

Once a raid is initiated, viewers see a countdown before being transferred to the selected channel. Under Twitch’s current system, the broadcaster can launch the raid immediately or let the 90-second countdown expire.

Jennifer Lopez appears to be approaching dating differently after a series of high-profile public relationships and marriages.

Following her divorce from Ben Affleck, the singer and actress is said to have become more selective about the kind of man she would consider welcoming into her life.

Rather than rushing into another romance, Jennifer Lopez is reportedly looking for someone who can match her ambition, success, and lifestyle.

5

Lopez is said to be taking a firmer approach to romance and is no longer interested in repeating patterns that did not work in her previous relationships.

A source told Globe Magazine that Lopez used to be extremely patient with the men she dated, often allowing them several opportunities to make mistakes. However, that tolerance is now gone.

“J. Lo used to be the most forgiving person when it came to the men in her life,” the source said. “They would get 10, 20 chances to mess up, but not anymore. One mistake, one comment she doesn’t like, really anything that turns her off, and they are out, no second chances.”

The source also claimed that Lopez now expects the men she dates to undergo “strict vetting” and agree to a set of “non-negotiable rules.”

Her new approach suggests that the actress is no longer willing to overlook behavior she considers unacceptable, even if she is genuinely interested in the person.

The Singer Wants To Keep Her Love Life ‘Under The Radar’

5

After years of having her relationships attract intense media attention, Jennifer Lopez is determined to keep her next relationship away from the public eye.

Her previous relationships have often become major entertainment news, meaning even a simple outing with a potential partner can quickly spark speculation and headlines.

A source told the publication that Lopez is particularly cautious about men who could benefit from the publicity surrounding a relationship with her.

“She is very wary of being used,” the source explained. “Any man that goes on a date with her is going to get a huge publicity boost, and it will mean all sorts of potential embarrassment for her if it doesn’t last, so her new rule is that it’s all got to be totally under the radar.”

Jennifer Lopez Is Keeping Her Potential Suitors Discreet

5

The source added that Lopez is keeping potential suitors discreet until she knows whether they have a future.

“Until she’s ready to go all in, she’s keeping her dates completely secret,” the insider revealed.

They noted, “Even the men who are high profile have to sneak in and out of her place or meet her in luxury hotels for room service dinners. She doesn’t want anyone riding on her coattails.”

With Lopez’s relationships consistently drawing public attention, her decision to keep new romantic affairs private could allow her to determine whether a connection is genuine before the media gets involved.

The Singer Refuses Bare Minimum And Desires High Quality Men Only

5

Jennifer Lopez is unwilling to settle for the bare minimum in her next relationship. The singer is said to have become more selective about the kind of man she wants, placing greater importance on respect, ambition, and compatibility.

Lopez previously addressed her expectations during her Las Vegas residency, making it clear that anyone hoping to win her heart would have to put in genuine effort.

“If you wanted to have my love, you would have to earn it,” she declared. “You would have to treat me right. You would have to respect me.”

According to Star Magazine, Lopez has even considered using a professional matchmaker to help her find the right partner.

A source explained, “Meeting men isn’t an issue for J.Lo; the challenge is meeting quality men.”

The insider also added that Lopez “has very high expectations about who she wants to share her life with,” explaining that her ideal partner should be “super successful, handsome, and at the top of their game in every way.”

Jennifer Lopez’s Marriage History And Net Worth

5

Jennifer Lopez’s new approach to dating comes after a long romantic history that includes four marriages. The singer has been married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Ben Affleck and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares her 18-year-old twins, Max and Emme.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lopez’s wealth is estimated at $400 million, while she earns roughly $40 million each year.

Her former husbands have also accumulated fortunes of their own, although there is a significant difference between them.

Affleck’s net worth is estimated to be around $150 million, while Anthony’s fortune stands at approximately $80 million. Judd is believed to have about $800,000, while Noa’s current financial standing has not been established.

Lopez has also previously been romantically involved with men whose wealth comes closer to her own. Per She Knows, her former fiancé Alex Rodriguez is estimated to be worth about $350 million, while Sean Diddy Combs is said to have a fortune in the same range as the singer.

With this kind of dating history, Lopez could be seen as seeking someone who is able to match the lifestyle and standards she has established for herself.

John Barrowman’s expensive flight from Los Angeles to London took a turbulent turn before he even reached his destination. The “Doctor Who” actor posted a video from American Airlines’ business class cabin complaining about missing pajamas, an incorrect meal order and what he described as “shady” customer service. However, his attempt to hold the airline accountable quickly backfired as social media users accused the 59-year-old performer of acting like a “diva.”

5

Barrowman filmed himself from his seat while his father and husband were seated behind him. “Hi American [Airlines] we have paid for the flagship service,” the Scottish-American actor began.

He explained that the three travelers expected to receive pajamas after purchasing costly business class tickets. “My father and my husband behind and the tickets were very expensive and we get on thinking we’d get pajamas with the flagship service,” Barrowman said.

The actor claimed that complimentary sleepwear was instead distributed only to certain passengers at the front of the cabin. “Then you apparently only give them to the first two rows in business class. What’s that all about?” he asked. “So far you’re not batting very high.”

The video showed the actor addressing the airline directly as he questioned why travelers seated in the same business class cabin appeared to receive different amenities.

‘Doctor Who’ Star Says His Meal Order Was Wrong

5

The missing pajamas were not Barrowman’s only complaint. The “Torchwood” star also claimed that the cabin crew made a mistake with his meal and could not provide the same options offered to other premium passengers. “Meal order wrong and then told we don’t have exactly what everyone else is getting on the flight when we all have flagship service,” he said.

Barrowman ended the video by asking American Airlines for an explanation. “Can you explain? Thank you,” he concluded.

John Barrowman Deletes Video After Slamming ‘Shady’ Service

5

In the accompanying caption, the actor accused the airline of failing to deliver the premium experience it advertised. “I find that shady and bad customer service. You’re supposed to be pushing this flagship and at the moment it’s not hitting the ball out of the park,” Barrowman wrote.

Barrowman later deleted the video.

5

Barrowman’s frustration divided social media. Some people defended his decision to complain, reasoning that expensive premium tickets should come with the service and amenities customers expect. “To be fair if you pay a lot of money for a service then I’d expect the service I paid for,” one person wrote.

Another user argued that the actor had every right to question whether he received everything included with his purchase. “I’m in no way a fan of John Barrowman, but how do people have an issue with him asking for something he’s paid for?” the person commented.

Others were less sympathetic and focused on the spectacle of a celebrity publicly complaining about pajamas while sitting in business class. “The entitlement is off the scale,” one critic wrote.

John Barrowman Previously Addressed Career Fallout

5

The flight controversy comes months after the “Arrow” alum opened up about the lasting effects that resurfaced reports of his past on-set behavior had on his career and mental health. During an episode of the “Inside of You” podcast, host Michael Rosenbaum revealed that he and Barrowman had previously recorded an interview that was later cut at the actor’s request.

The pair eventually sat down for another conversation after Barrowman felt more comfortable discussing reports that he had exposed himself and remained naked on various sets after filming explicit scenes. “I’m fully transparent that I did silly things,” Barrowman said. “When I was doing nude scenes, I was making myself comfortable doing stuff and other people were laughing.”

Barrowman maintained that “no one complained” about his behavior at the time. He claimed the controversy grew after an article revisited earlier comments he had made about exposing himself. “It got bigger and bigger and bigger as people started repeating the stories. It blew up into something that was not factually correct,” he explained.

The actor said the publication of the article in May 2021 caused his world to collapse and continued to affect his professional opportunities and emotional well-being.
