10 Greatest Sci-Fi Movie Masterpieces of the ’90s, Ranked

Published

As a decade, the 1990s is probably now more nostalgic than some people would like to admit, or acknowledge. If a movie came out during this decade, it is, at the time of writing, at least a quarter of a century old, and some of the earliest ones are pushing 40. Time comes for everyone and everything, movies included. Ruthless.

As for specific genres, sci-fi seemed to do pretty well throughout the decade, as far as movies are concerned. That once far-off and futuristic-sounding year of “2000” was right around the corner, so maybe stories about technology and the future were on people’s minds to an even greater extent. Whatever the case, these are some of the best – and hardest to fault – science fiction movies of the ‘90s.

‘Starship Troopers’ (1997)

Starship Troopers does feel pretty different depending on how old you are when you watch it. As a piece of satire, it does feel on the nose if you’re of a certain age, but if you’re young enough, maybe it mostly feels like a cool and kind of edgy sci-fi flick about a futuristic military force waging a war against aliens that are basically giant bugs.

Some of that bug action is still fun in a mindless sort of way, but it’s the rest of Starship Troopers that elevates it, and makes it feel like more than simply a B-movie that just so happens to have the kind of budget usually reserved for A-grade films. It’s the sort of thing Paul Verhoeven, in his prime, was incredibly good at doing (see also the original RoboCop, which was one of the best sci-fi movies of the 1980s).

‘Ghost in the Shell’ (1995)

If you’re talking about great dystopian anime movies, it’s always going to be tough to top Akira, which came out in the late 1980s, but Ghost in the Shell is still worth considering as a competitor. It’s got some lofty themes alongside being entertaining as a futuristic crime movie of sorts, with terrorists here who can hack people’s brains, and police officers who’ve been enhanced by cybernetics.

Great science fiction can be escapist, or it can dig a little deeper and get a bit heavier, with Ghost in the Shell arguably being in the latter camp more than the former. Still, it’s tremendously engaging and inventive, and the quality of the animation here also holds up tremendously well more than 30 years later. Also, more than 30 years later, we’re almost at the point in time when Ghost in the Shell is set: the year 2029.

‘Face/Off’ (1997)

The 1990s was a time when a movie star could sell a movie more so than the 2020s so far (not that there aren’t people worthy of being considered movie stars), and so when you throw two big names into the mix and promise a “face off” between them, you’ve got almost inevitable gold. Enter Face/Off, which is about John Travolta vs. Nicolas Cage, effectively, but with both playing each other.

Okay, okay, technically, their characters are facing off, and their characters swap faces, but again: it was the 1990s, and people probably saw this for the stars over anything else. If you were into it because it was directed by John Woo, though, then that’s also valid, since he directs the hell out of it all. And if you can’t get on board with the goofy sci-fi stuff for whatever reason, hopefully you can easily enjoy the action Face/Off offers.

‘Godzilla vs. Destoroyah’ (1995)

There have been various eras of Godzilla movies, with the Heisei one having most of its entries come out in the 1990s (all besides The Return of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Biollante). Of those 1990s Godzilla movies, Godzilla vs. Destoroyah is probably the best, and it’s good enough just as a movie to be one of the most impressive science fiction films of its decade, too.

It brings the Heisei era to a close in a dramatic fashion, and the stakes here have the whole thing feeling more dramatic (and eventually tragic) than your average Godzilla movie. Also, Destoroyah is one of the best foes Godzilla has ever taken on; perhaps even the best to only appear in a single movie to date… at the time of writing, at least. Never say never, fellow Destoroyah fans.

‘Open Your Eyes’ (1997)

Some people might be more familiar with the remake, Vanilla Sky, but 1997’s Open Your Eyes is superior. Penélope Cruz plays the same role in both, though, which is kind of interesting; like the acting equivalent of Michael Haneke directing both versions of Funny Games. But to focus on Open Your Eyes, it’s a psychological thriller/mystery movie that’s also kind of a sci-fi movie.

In Open Your Eyes, things jump around tonally as well as genre-wise, seemingly all in an effort to keep you, as a viewer, on your toes.

There’s also a romance element to it, as there was with Vanilla Sky, and things jump around tonally as well as genre-wise, seemingly all in an effort to keep you, as a viewer, on your toes, and maybe even a little confused, but not necessarily in a bad way. Open Your Eyes also rewards repeat viewings and analysis if you’re willing to dig in… or you can just appreciate the strange ride it takes you on, from a purely emotional/visceral standpoint.

‘The Iron Giant’ (1999)

A more approachable and optimistic animated film than the aforementioned Ghost in the Shell, The Iron Giant is also a cult classic; famously one that got buried, to some extent, in the cinematically crowded year that was 1999. It’s got a familiar sort of story, about a boy befriending some sort of unusual being, but it does that well-worn premise effectively… think E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, but with a giant robot instead of a much smaller (and initially terrifying) alien.

Advertisement

There’s also something irresistibly retro about The Iron Giant, as it was set in the past and also had a traditional animation style at a time when computer animation was starting to take off, and had almost become the norm. It packs a lot of humor, creativity, and heart into a runtime that clocks in at under 90 minutes, and it’s also hard to imagine many people watching The Iron Giant and coming away disappointed or underwhelmed, even with its lofty reputation preceding it.

‘Until the End of the World’ (1991)

You can’t really overstate how impressively ambitious Until the End of the World really is, so long as you make sure to watch the director’s cut over the theatrical version. Yes, doing so involves finding almost five hours of free time, which is a pretty high demand, but it’s worth that sort of undertaking. Also, the movie earns such a runtime, since it’s a fully global road movie that crosses into various countries, rather than “just” different states or territories.

Advertisement

The sci-fi elements of Until the End of the World are underplayed for certain stretches of the film, though that’s okay when significant chunks of it are about humanity’s relationship with technology, and the (then) near-future. It also really makes use of everywhere it ended up being shot, and the resulting film is among the best-looking ever made on such a scale.

‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ (1991)

There was a little movie in 1984 called The Terminator that isn’t really a little movie anymore, in hindsight, but maybe it felt like that at the time. James Cameron wasn’t a household name or anything, and Arnold Schwarzenegger had been in Conan the Barbarian, but also wasn’t a star the way he’s now known, but The Terminator ended up doing so much for the careers of both men.

Advertisement

And then Terminator 2: Judgment Day had to feel like a big movie when it came out, because it couldn’t really sneak up on people or be a sleeper hit like the first one. There needed to be a good reason to continue this story, and upping the stakes and spectacle was also a must, and so that’s what Terminator 2: Judgment Day did on just about every front, to the extent that it can easily count itself among the most exciting and entertaining sci-fi films ever made.

2

‘Jurassic Park’ (1993)

Even among entertaining Steven Spielberg movies (there are a bunch of them), Jurassic Park stands out as being particularly thrilling, fun, and easy to revisit. Lots of the other movies here are perfectly paced, or close enough to it that they might well be perfectly paced, but even then, Jurassic Park is still probably the best paced. Hell, call it the best-paced sci-fi movie of the 1990s, then… why not?

Advertisement

It spends the right amount of time developing the characters, getting to the island (while building anticipation for it), explaining the science that’s plot relevant, and then showcasing all the various things going wrong, with each big set piece marking a point of escalation. Calling Jurassic Park a blast is a big old understatement, as it is, quite plainly, one of the best blockbusters ever, science fiction-related or otherwise.

‘The Matrix’ (1999)

Some of the best action scenes of the 20th century were saved for the very end of it, as The Matrix has a few sequences that are absolute all-timers. If it were just an action movie, and not also an amazing science fiction movie, it would still be a classic, but the fact that it manages to do both at the same time is truly impressive. Hell, it’s more than just one sort of action movie, too, as there are martial arts fights and heroic bloodshed-esque shootouts here, and sometimes, you get a bit of both at once.

Advertisement

Narratively, it’s inventive, and thematically, there’s also so much to dig into when it comes to The Matrix, especially if you want to break down what it has to say about identity and conformity. It satisfies intellectually and also satisfies as spectacle, so you get the best of both worlds in a movie that’s sort of about two worlds, one of them simulated. There really is something for everyone here.

10 Years Later, Netflix’s 7-Part Crime Drama Just Keeps Getting Better With Age

Published

on

John Reardon on the phone looking tense in Hudson & Rex

A tried and true crime procedural staple is when a show pairs up two very different people to solve murders together each week. The X-Files did this with Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson), Castle did this with Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic), and currently, shows like High Potential and Wild Cards are doing this with their central partnerships of Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) and Karadec (Daniel Sunjata), and Max (Vanessa Morgan) and Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti).

When two opposites are paired up to solve crimes together, the show is able to embrace their differences, often leading to the characters clashing in comedic ways. Best of all, each episode shows the two of them pairing up to use their individual skills as a team in order to find the killer when nobody else can. One of the best and most underrated procedurals that fits this niche is TNT’s Rizzoli & Isles, which ran for seven seasons and is now available to stream on Netflix.

Advertisement

What Is ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ About?

Based on Tess Gerritsen‘s series of crime novels of the same name, Rizzoli & Isles follows the crime-solving partnership between Detective Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and forensic pathologist Dr. Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander). The two are also best friends, and they have made their jobs their whole lives. Jane is a hardworking curmudgeon who is passionate about the work that she does and has no interest in finding a work-life balance that would give her time for anything other than her current focus on her job, her family, her friendship with Maura, and her dog. Maura, meanwhile, is a friendly optimist, but she doesn’t know how to connect with people, and often scares them off by talking too much about death or diagnosing them with rare conditions.

The series kicks off when Jane and Maura’s latest murder uses the signature of serial killer Charles Hoyt (Michael Massee), who previously abducted Jane and almost killed her. Hoyt is in prison, but this killer knew things that only someone close to him could have known. Jane is then forced to meet with Hoyt in order to question him about his possible protégée, which brings up some tough memories for her. Each episode sees Jane and Maura solving grisly and disturbing murders together alongside the rest of their team: Jane’s co-workers, Vince Korsak (Bruce Travis McGill) and Barry Frost (Lee Thompson Young). When she’s off the clock, Jane works very hard to make time for her family, which, at the start of the series, is made up of her parents, Angela (Lorraine Bracco) and Frank (Chazz Palminteri), and the older of her two younger brothers, Frankie (Jordan Bridges). Frankie became a police officer to follow in Jane’s footsteps, and although they don’t directly work together, they often cross paths on the job.

‘Rizzoli & Isles’ Is Still a Must-See Crime Procedural 10 Years Later

Like any great crime procedural, Rizzoli & Isles dedicates each episode to a different murder that Jane, Maura, and the rest of their time solve together. Where Rizzoli & Isles stands out, though, is through its heavy focus on character. Rizzoli & Isles certainly has some comedy in Jane and Maura’s “Odd Couple” dynamic and Jane’s sarcastic one-liners, but it primarily has a uniquely dark tone. Jane and Maura investigate some especially disturbing and horrifying homicides, and the show doesn’t shy away from the effects that these murders have on either the people who knew the victims, or on those who solve the murders. Rizzoli & Isles regularly examines the toll that Jane and Maura’s jobs take on them, both in everything that they have had to give up to commit to their jobs, and in the heavy and upsetting crimes that they face all the time.

This 8-Part Police Procedural Is a Near-Perfect Crime Hit, but There’s a Catch

You’d be dog-gone crazy not to watch it, no bones about it.

Rizzoli & Isles is an intense, emotional series that is perfect for procedural fans who like shows with nuanced characters, twisty weekly cases, and a unique focus on the scientific side of murder investigations. Rizzoli & Isles also makes the perfect binge-watch, because alongside its weekly cases, it has a number of excellent and intense linear storylines. At the heart of the show, though, is Jane and Maura’s partnership. They really understand each other and are particularly in-sync, and it is this dynamic that makes Rizzoli & Isles impossible to stop watching after each episode concludes.

Christy Carlson Romano Seems To Take Jab At Shia LaBeouf

Published

Christy Carlson Romano doesn’t believe Shia LaBeouf deserves to be on the fictional Disney Channel Mount Rushmore. In a now-deleted social media post, the “Kim Possible” alum seemed to slam her “Even Stevens” co-star, sparking widespread chaos and plenty of online discussion. While it’s unclear why Romano made her post, LaBeouf has been involved in a string of legal issues in 2026.

Christy Carlson Romano Says Shia LaBeouf ‘Doesn’t Deserve’ To Be Considered A Disney Channel Legend In A Since-Deleted Social Media Post

A week ago, Raven-Symoné was asked in an interview who she believed should be on the Disney Channel Mount Rushmore, according to The Blast. While answering, the “That’s So Raven” actress said she would place herself, Hilary Duff, Lee Thompson from “The Famous Jett Jackson,” and LaBeouf on it.

When asked about Miley Cyrus’ place on the monument, Symoné said that while she loves Cyrus, her Disney Channel fame came after the others had already paved the way.

Symoné received some backlash over the comment, while others defended the 40-year-old.

Romano, however, seems to believe Symoné made a mistake and wasted no time letting people know.

“Shia doesn’t deserve to be on the Rushmore,” she wrote on X. “I’ll be writing a substack on this so you can understand why.”

While the post has been deleted, the screenshots remain, prompting a range of responses from Disney fans and netizens alike.

“SHIA deserves! When he played special needs in the Disney original film ‘Tru Confessions!” I know he was the real deal,” someone wrote.

Another said, “He definitely deserves to be there,” while a third wrote, “Shia came from a low income single parent home, barely affording to get to his auditions and he still became a star. He IS the Disney Mt. Rushmore.”

A fourth netizen rushed to Romano’s defense, writing, “She’s literally Kim Possible though.”

“While being a main character on ‘Even Stevens’ anddddd CADET KELLY,” they continued.

The Conversation Surrounding Shia LaBeouf Continues

One user shared another perspective, saying that commenters were “ignoring” LaBeouf’s reported problematic past. “Everybody on the outside looking in but those on the inside have had plenty to say about his character,” they finished.

According to NBC News, LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans in February 2026 after allegedly assaulting two people during the city’s annual Mardi Gras celebration.

A police report stated that LaBeouf was removed from a business after allegedly causing a disturbance. Once he was outside of the building, the “Holes” actor reportedly struck a victim with a closed fist more than once.

His reported problematic behavior did not stop there. “LaBeouf then reportedly assaulted another person — punching him in the nose,” the New Orleans Police Department said. “LaBeouf was again held down until police arrived.”

In 2020, the “Transformers” actor was sued by his ex, singer FKA Twigs, who alleged in court documents that she was the victim of “relentless abuse” caused by LaBeouf. The case was later settled out of court in 2025.

LaBeouf Is ‘Not Into’ Rehab Following His February 2026 Arrest

LaBeouf addressed his latest legal woes in a sit-down interview with Andrew Callaghan, during which he called his reported behavior in New Orleans “bulls—.”

The 39-year-old admitted that he would have to “deal” with the root cause of his alleged unruly behavior, but clarified that rehab was not the answer.

“Does that mean I gotta go to rehab again? I’m just not into it. I don’t think my answers are there. I just don’t … I genuinely don’t. If I genuinely did, I’d go,” he said.

Drinking is not LaBeouf’s problem, he said. “I think I have a different problem, and I’m gonna address it … I think I have a small man complex. I think it’s something that has to do with anger and ego more than my drinking,” he continued.

Romano Previously Spoke About Her Strained Relationship With LaBeouf

Romano’s declaration about LaBeouf may not come as a surprise to some. In a 2021 YouTube video, the actress addressed her relationship with him, admitting things were not as they appeared.

Advertisement

While they played brother and sister from 2000 to 2003, Romano said they were far from close.

“I didn’t know a lot of the backstories that came out about where they were living at that time and how much hardship they’d seen and stuff like that. I just kick myself because I really do kind of wish, if I’d known anything about him I could have been a little bit more, I don’t know, patient,” she said.

Romano went on to explain that she felt blindsided when LaBeouf won an Emmy for Outstanding Performer in a Children’s Series and did not thank her.

“I was hurt at the time because I felt like from day one, it was him and me. It was like our show. But because it was so life or death for him, it was his show. And I was just around because I was a girl,” she said.

Wilson Tsia And Tania Cao Find The Humor In Real Life, Not Perfect Life

Published

on

Relationships are often funny because they are inherently messy. The everyday rhythms of partnership, the miscommunication, shared routines, unexpected tension, and quiet tenderness create moments that feel absurd and deeply familiar at the same time. Modern audiences recognize that comedy rooted in real relationships often lands harder than polished performance because it mirrors what people live through daily.

That sensibility sits at the center of the work created by Wilson Tsia and Tania Cao, known to their audiences as Wilson and Thi. High school sweethearts who have been together since 2009, the pair have built a following by documenting their relationship as it actually unfolds. “We don’t portray a perfect relationship,” they explain. “We share honest, true-to-life scenarios that couples genuinely experience.”

Growing Up Together, On And Off Screen

Their story began long before algorithms mattered. “We grew up side by side long before social media was ever part of the plan,” they recall. What started in 2019 as casual YouTube vlogs and playful pranks slowly became something more intentional. By 2022, the duo committed to posting daily short-form content across TikTok and Instagram.

“Our content spans couple humor, pranks, marriage skits, family moments, everyday chaos,” they explain, “but it’s always rooted in authenticity.” The tone reflects lived experience rather than performance. “By turning real relationship dynamics into comedy, we create content that feels familiar, comforting, and laugh-out-loud relatable.”

Comedy Built On Real Dynamics

Wilson’s background in acting shaped the storytelling instinct behind their videos. “Throughout school, my focus naturally gravitated toward drama, media, dance, and creative subjects,” he says. For Tania, content creation began as a personal challenge. “I was more reserved,” she explains. “Starting couple content felt like a low-pressure way to create while growing in confidence.”

Their combined dynamic became the engine of the work. “What sets us apart is that we don’t rely on recycled trends,” they say. “We identify what people are experiencing in real time and turn those moments into content.” That approach has positioned them among the leading couple content creators and family content creators, known for relatable couple content, relationship humor, and family humor that feels immediate and recognizable.

Parenthood, Pressure, And Perspective

Becoming first-time parents in 2022 added a new layer to both life and work. “Filming while raising a toddler adds another level of complexity,” they say. “Ideas strike constantly, trends move fast, and parenting doesn’t pause.” Working together full-time also required adjustment. “Being around each other 24/7 means the brainstorming never really stops.”

Structure helps. “We schedule specific days to batch film content,” they explain, “so we can protect time for family and personal space.” Consistency remains central. Posting daily across platforms played a significant role in the couple’s growth. “Momentum comes from showing up, even when results aren’t immediate.”

Why Authenticity Resonates

Their audience growth reflects that philosophy. With more than 1 million followers across platforms, 733,000 on TikTok alone, and videos reaching as high as 50 million views, the response has been sustained. “People feel seen. They recognize their own relationships in what we share.”

Looking ahead, their goals extend beyond social media. “We want to explore film and television,” the couple explains, “but the goal stays the same.” That mission remains grounded in honesty. No matter the medium, they want to create content that makes people “laugh, feel connected, and enjoy real, relatable moments of everyday life.”

In an era saturated with curated perfection, Wilson and Tania continue to show that authenticity, when shared openly, still resonates.

Kylie Jenner Reportedly ‘Bragging About’ Timothée Chalamet To Her Friends

Kylie Jenner is reportedly smitten with her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, and won’t stop bragging about him to her family and friends.

The reality TV star, who has been his plus-one for most of the award shows, is said to be in “awe” of the actor and loves “showing up” for him amid his Hollywood success.

Things may intensify soon as reports suggest Kylie Jenner is getting to know his family, including his mom, while her own family thinks he’s brought out her softer side.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet continue to make headlines for their fairytale romance despite rumors suggesting otherwise.

The couple, who put up an affectionate display at the recently held Oscars, are standing on solid grounds in their relationship as a source revealed that the makeup mogul is in “awe” of the “Marty Supreme” actor and loves supporting him amid his massive success.

“Kylie is really proud of him and is always low-key bragging about him to her friends and family,” an insider told Us Weekly. “She is super supportive of his career and feels it’s very important. Even though it overlaps with her world a bit, going to premieres and awards shows still feels [like] new territory for her, and she can get a little shy in that setting.”

The source continued, “Kylie is really in awe of how respected he is by his peers and loves showing up for him. She’s always hyping him up and had the best time being by his side at the Oscars. He says she calms his nerves, and he equally loves having her with him.”

Jenner and Chalamet have been at it for about three years now, and usually appear at award shows side-by-side.

Earlier this year, when he won the Critics’ Choice award, Jenner was in the audience and named her in his acceptance speech.

“Thank you to my partner of three years,” he said. “Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

More recently, she was by his side for the Oscars even though he lost out on the Best Actor Award for his work on “Marty Supreme.”

The Oscars were not a great night for Chalamet, as not only did he go home empty-handed, but he was ridiculed by host Conan O’Brien for his controversial comment on ballet and opera.

Body language reader James weighed in on the dynamics between the actor and Jenner at the event, explaining that the reality TV star became protective of him.

James told the Daily Mail that Chalamet appeared “quite submissive” with his gesture, as Jenner “leaned over him protectively, flashing a maternal-looking warning expression from her eyes as well as a tolerant and calm-looking mouth smile.”

The expert added that while Chalamet “opened his mouth wider in an expression of embarrassment and nodded slowly in a gesture of recognition and acceptance” as O’Brien continued with his monologue, Jenner appeared “less comfortable, clenching and unclenching her hands before performing one very odd, loud clap, suggesting a desire to get the joke over and move on.”

Meanwhile, things between them are now understood to be involving families, as reports suggest Jenner has been getting to know his folks, particularly his mom.

“Kylie loves Timothée’s mom,” the source who spoke to Us Weekly shared. “Kylie isn’t as close with the other family members, but they have all been warm and welcoming whenever she sees them.”

It appears her own family has also returned the gesture, as sources previously told the news outlet that her famous sisters and her mom have really “embraced” him, adding that they “really like” Chalamet and believe he has “brought out a softer side to Kylie.”

“The kids love him, and Timothée has been integrated seamlessly into their lives,” the insider added. “It took a while for Kylie to introduce them, but now things are very normal, and he spends a lot of time with them.”

However, the road hasn’t really been a smooth ride for the pair as there have been rumors of tension between them, especially after Chalamet lost the Best Actor Award at the Oscars.

Reports claim the 30-year-old actor “took the loss very personally,” and blamed it on his relationship with Jenner and the Kardashian connection.

“Timothée thinks the Kylie relationship hurt his image with older voters,” an insider told Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop. “He believes the Kardashian circus cost him the Oscar.”

However, sources close to Jenner have refuted the claims, saying that the “KUWTK” alum has been voicing her frustration over his loss.

“Kylie is furious,” a source said. “She’s telling friends the loss had nothing to do with her.”

While addressing the media on Monday, December 15, a reporter asked Trump, 79, if he stood by his remarks about Reiner after several […]

Former President George W. Bush selected Mueller as FBI director before he was unanimously confirmed just days before the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. He was later asked to remain in his position by President Barack Obama, despite serving as the FBI director for 10 years. He ultimately served in the role for 12 years, becoming the longest-serving FBI director since J. Edgar Hoover.

In August 2025, Mueller’s family announced he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2021.

Mueller became the focus of the current president’s ire when he was tasked with leading the investigation into Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign’s alleged collusion with the Russian government.

While Mueller ultimately decided Trump’s campaign did not conspire with Russia — despite uncovering “dozens of secret and often high-level contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian government,” according to CNN, and proof Russia interfered with the 2016 election — and ultimately decided not to charge Trump with obstruction of justice — despite having the necessary evidence — the former reality TV star consistently attacked Mueller online.

“Russia Russia Russia! That’s all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax…” Trump tweeted in May 2019. “And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected. It was a crime that didn’t exist.”

Trump later called Mueller a “true never-Trumper,” and in 2025 signed an executive order severing ties with WilmerHale, the law firm where Mueller worked, claiming the firm “awarded” Mueller for using his “prosecutorial power to upend the democratic process and distort justice.”

Never one to hold back, Stephen A.

“WilmerHale mourns the passing of our friend and former partner, Bob Mueller. Bob was an extraordinary leader and public servant and a person of the greatest integrity,” a spokesperson for the law firm told NBC News in the wake of Mueller’s death.

“His service to our country, including as a decorated officer in the Marine Corps, as FBI Director, and at the Department of Justice, was exemplary and inspiring,” the statement added. “We are deeply proud that he was our partner. Our thoughts are with Bob’s family and loved ones during this time.”

Florida’s Olivier Rioux Becomes Tallest March Madness Athlete

Published

on

University of Florida basketball player Olivier Rioux is quite literally reaching new heights in the 2026 NCAA March Madness tournament.

Rioux, 20, stands tall at 7-foot-9, making him the tallest athlete to ever compete in the tournament, according to The Athletic. Rioux helped the Florida Gators beat the Prairie View A&M Panthers 114-55 during the Friday, March 20, match-up of the competition.

Rioux, who plays center for the Gators, is in his second year at the University of Florida and entered Friday’s game in the final minutes of competition, adding an exclamation mark to the team’s blowout win by scoring a put-back dunk before the final buzzer.

“It’s pretty unbelievable,” Gators forward Alex Condon told reporters after the game. “He’s a very tall bloke. He comes out there, and everyone’s chanting to get him the ball. He does a great job managing that pressure and taking the right shots.”

It’s one of the greatest traditions in sports: Basketball fans and non-fans alike furiously check their brackets, brag to their friends and jockey for office pool supremacy. The first two days of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament are known for producing drama, excitement and a distinct lack of work in offices across the country, and […]

Rioux, a member of the Gators’ 2025 national championship team, previously set the Guinness World Record for the tallest male teenager when he was 16.

“We’re still not 100 percent sure why I’m so tall. After investigation, doctors could only explain it with the genetics that my family has,” the Canada native told Guinness at the time. “My father is 6’8, my mom is 6’2 and my older brother is 6’9. So. we’re a pretty tall family! It feels great being the height I am. I love it.”

He continued, “I was always taller than the rest of my friends at school or teammates. This is what nature planned for me. I learned to be peaceful and happy about it.”

Rioux leveraged his height into a collegiate basketball career.

“I have been playing basketball since I was 5 years old. The opposing team would often question my age, because even as a 5-year-old I was much taller than the other kids,” he recalled at the time. “Although no one questions my age anymore, sometimes before the game the opponents are looking in my direction with question-mark eyes. Often they just ask a question at the free throw line like, ‘How tall are you?’”

The athlete added of his competitors, “They are impressed to begin with but that does not make them less physical in the game. They even challenge me more because of my size.”

Rioux and the Gators will next play the Iowa Hawkeyes Sunday, March 22, in the next round of the NCAA tournament.

Soccer Star Says Chappell Roan Accused Child of Harassment

Soccer Star Jorginho Says Chappell Roan Accused His 11-Year-Old Daughter of Harassment

Soccer star Jorginho has publicly called out Chappell Roan for allegedly accusing his 11-year-old stepdaughter of harassment.

“I went through a very upsetting situation with my family earlier today. My wife [Cat Cavelli] is in São Paulo for Lollapalooza Brasil,” Jorginho, 34, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 21. “This morning, my daughter woke up incredibly excited. She even made a sign because she was so happy to see an artist she really admires, or used to admire.”

Jorginho (real name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho) did not directly name the child but seemingly was referring to Ada Law, Cavelli’s daughter from a previous relationship with Jude Law. Jorginho and Cavelli have been in a relationship since 2019.

The athlete claimed that Cavelli and Ada had an unexpected run-in with one of Roan’s security guards in São Paulo when they were dining at the same hotel. (Roan, 28, is currently in Brazil to headline Saturday night’s Lollapalooza Brasil.)

“By coincidence, they’re staying at the same hotel as this artist. During breakfast, the artist walked past their table. My daughter, like any child, recognized her, got excited, and just wanted to make sure it was really her,” Jorginho wrote. “And the worst part is she didn’t even approach her. She simply walked past the singer’s table, looked to confirm it was her, smiled, and went back to sit with her mum. She didn’t say anything, didn’t ask for anything.”

According to Jorginho, a “large security guard” then allegedly approached Cavelli and Ada’s table and “began speaking in an extremely aggressive manner to both my wife and my daughter, saying that she shouldn’t allow my daughter to ‘disrespect’ or ‘harass’ other people.”

“Honestly, I don’t know at what point simply walking past a table and looking to see if someone is there can be considered harassment,” he added.

The security guard allegedly threatened to “file a complaint against them with the hotel” while the young girl “was sitting there in tears.”

“My daughter was extremely shaken and cried a lot,” Jorginho alleged.

Jorginho mentioned his own history of fan interactions while suggesting that the 11-year-old did not breach any “boundaries.”

“I’ve lived with football, public exposure, and well-known people for many years, and I understand very well what respect and boundaries are. What happened there was not that. It was just a child admiring someone,” he claimed. “It’s sad to see this kind of treatment coming from those who should understand the importance of fans. At the end of the day, they are the ones who build all of this. I sincerely hope this serves as a moment of reflection. No one should have to go through this, especially not a child.”

Jorginho tagged the Instagram Story with a message to Roan’s fans, writing. “WITHOUT YOUR FANS, YOU WOULD BE NOTHING. AND TO THE FANS, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR AFFECTION.”

Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for Roan for comment.

Chappell Roan finally delivered a new song to fans with the release of “The Subway” — but they shouldn’t get their hopes up for her second album just yet. “The second project doesn’t exist yet,” Roan, 27, told Vogue in an interview published Monday, August 4. “There is no album. There is no collection of […]

The “Pink Pony Club” singer has been vocal about valuing her privacy in public spaces. In March, she clashed with photographers and autograph seekers in Paris when they allegedly blocked her path as she was going to dinner.

“To be disregarded as a human, this is what it’s like,” she could be heard saying. “I’m just trying to go to dinner and I’ve asked these people several times to get away from me … They’re hiding their faces because they’re ashamed. These are all the people that are disregarding all of my boundaries.”

Roan also argued with the paparazzi on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2024, telling one photographer to “shut the f*** up” when he complained about her posing.
