How much is too much “tough love” for a “troubled teen”? That’s one of the many questions asked by the new Netflix series Wayward, created by writer, actor and producer Mae Martin. (Martin’s previous Netflix series, Feel Good, was critically acclaimed, with a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.) While Feel Good was semi-autobiographical, Wayward is a thriller with supernatural undertones about a transgender police officer, Alex (Martin), who begins investigating the disturbing, cult-like happenings at Tall Pines Academy, a center for troubled teens in the small town of Tall Pines.

The Academy is run by Evelyn Wade (Toni Collette), a magnetic, strangely haunting headmistress who seems to have power over everyone in town, including Alex’s wife, Laura (Sarah Gadon). As Alex uncovers more secrets about Tall Pines Academy, he begins to realize strange things are happening to the students who attend… This mystery thriller is twist-filled, thoughtful and perfect for spooky season.

Wayward is streaming on Netflix.

Brooke Shields can still remember her ever-so-brief romance with the late John F. Kennedy Jr. — and she’s willing to spill the tea.

“I wonder if JFK Jr. was a good kisser?” Shields’ daughter Rowan Henchy wrote over a Friday, March 6, TikTok video, while lip-synching to Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap.”

The camera then panned to Shields, 60, who also mouthed the lyrics.

“‘One of the best,’” text overlaying the video read.

Rowan, one of Shields’ two daughters she shares with husband Chris Henchy, further acknowledged her mom’s relationship history in a TikTok caption.

“But don’t forget … they never dated,” Rowan, 22, wrote.

Shields was briefly romantically linked to JFK Jr., son of President John F. Kennedy and wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, in the 1980s.

“He kept saying I looked like his mother, which was really interesting and a compliment, [but] I also was like, ‘I don’t know how to feel about this,’” Shields recalled on The Howard Stern Show in 2023. “And then, we did have a real date. I wouldn’t sleep with him because I kind of loved him too much.”

According to Shields, she shared a kiss with JFK Jr. on their one-off date.

STARTRAKSPHOTO.COM John F. Kennedy Jr. and wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy had a high-profile romance right up until their tragic deaths. When the couple began dating in 1994, the world was fascinated by their relationship. Considered to be one of the most eligible bachelors at the time, Kennedy Jr. decided to settle down with Bessette-Kennedy. As he […]

“It was beyond not-disappointing,” she recalled to radio host Howard Stern. “I froze though because he was so precious to me. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re falling in love, and if you sleep with him he may not talk to you again — and you can’t handle that.’”

The actress continued, “I wasn’t playing a game. I really was just so afraid of being really hurt, because if I slept with him I would’ve given him my entire universe, my heart, my everything.”

Shields later married tennis star Andre Agassi in 1997, two years before calling it quits. She tied the knot with now-husband Chris, 61, in 2001 before they welcomed Rowan and her sister, Grier Henchy.

As for JFK Jr., he was married to longtime love Carolyn Bessette from 1996 until their tragic deaths in a 1999 plane crash. Their romance has recently been immortalized in FX’s Love Story anthology.

“We had Elizabeth Beller’s book for reference, but we did face challenges [capturing certain moments],” executive producer Brad Simpson exclusively told Us Weekly in February of adapting the political couple’s story. “They died so young, but we had enough information from people around them to know what the problems were in their marriage, what the tensions were, what the highs were, what the lows were.”

JFK Jr. and Bessette are played by Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon, respectively.

When Dave Filoni was announced to take over from Kathleen Kennedy as head of Lucasfilm, many would have felt that Star Wars was being given to the correct successor. After all, while Ahsoka and The Book of Boba Fett may not have captured the hearts and minds of many Star Wars fans, The Mandalorian reinvigorated excitement in the live-action side of the franchise, and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, along with Star Wars: Rebels, are still rightfully considered some of the best Star Wars content ever produced.

However, there was a time when Filoni was not the biggest name in Star Wars. Before 2008, few would have known Filoni for anything other than his involvement in the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and many would come to initially know him for directing the worst film in the Star Wars universe: Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The film and the show had the same name, meaning many would wipe the awful former from their memories, but that doesn’t change the fact that The Clone Wars film is not only poorly structured, but feels thoroughly underbaked in terms of both animation and characters.

‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Feels Like a Set of Disjointed Episodes

Star Wars: The Clone Wars film is meant to serve as the introduction to the series, yet the series’ non-linear structure snuck its way into the film, creating a disjointed, meandering plot. The Clone Wars film begins on Christophisis, where Anakin (Matt Lanter) and Obi-Wan (James Arnold Taylor) face a droid army as The Republic tries to gain a foothold in the Outer Rim. Facing dire circumstances, Anakin is sent a padawan in the form of Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein), and the trio defeats the army. This is where the story takes a sharp pivot in setting, goal, and tone. Jabba’s (Kevin Michael Richardson) son, Rotta (David Acord), is kidnapped, and the trio is sent to Tatooine to save the Huttlet and return him to his father to barter an alliance with the Hutts, confronting Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) along the way.

However, this pivot does not feel natural, and instead creates a jarring sensation where what feels like a war film on Christophisis, with several clones brutally dying in the pursuit of victory, becomes a silly adventure to find Rotta, who makes normal baby noises yet isn’t cute, but unnerving. From both Filoni’s comments on the Force-Cast: Clone Wars Roundtable podcast and how George Lucas talks about deciding to create a Clone Wars feature as “an afterthought” after seeing the first episodes on the big screen, it appears the Clone Wars film was originally going to be the first episodes of the series, but they were edited together. Considering the odd combination of settings and plots, this explains a lot, as many beats in the film feel like the beginning or end of a new episode, rather than a three-act structure, such as when the mission on Christophisis is completed, and the turn towards Tatooine begins.

‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Animation and Character Dynamics Are Amateurish at Times

When most think of The Clone Wars, their minds will drift to the beautiful animation that only a few TV shows can compare to, especially in Season 7, along with the lovable dynamic between the charismatic Anakin and wise-beyond-her-years Ahsoka. However, in the Clone Wars feature, the animation is incredibly clunky. While there are some great action scenes on Christophisis with the clone troopers, it is scenes when characters are merely talking that we are merely given mid-shots with no movement in the camera, such as when Ahsoka, Anakin, and Obi-Wan discuss their plan on Christophisis or Obi-Wan’s meeting with Jabba, with characters moving far too smoothly compared to the more natural movement seen in later seasons.

Additionally, these stilted animations don’t help the lackluster character dynamics between Ahsoka and Anakin. Throughout the film, they bicker back and forth, with Anakin being at times nasty to Ahsoka and the young padawan feeling incredibly naive and arrogant, with lines such as “technically, I outrank you,” to Rex (Dee Bradley Baker), or “I’m the one with enthusiasm!” to Anakin over-emphasizing the fact that this is a child in a war. While this would become a key point of Ahsoka’s character and the commentary on war, in the Clone Wars feature, it merely feels like a jarring tone because she is overly naive, which led many to dislike her characterization at first, before Filoni would develop the character to act more maturely later on.

For many, including myself, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film is a part of their childhood, and there is nostalgia in watching the battle on Christophisis and Anakin’s confrontation with Dooku. But that doesn’t distract from the 18% Rotten Tomatoes score, which is thoroughly deserved considering the film’s flaws. However, there is also a lesson in patience here. While the Clone Wars film is truly awful, it spawned a show that would become iconic, making the initial growing pains of Filoni and Lucas’s brainchild more than worth it in the end.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is available to stream on Disney+ in the U.S.

Victoria Beckham had the support of most of her family at her 2026 Paris Fashion Week show.

“Thank you for always being there to support me. I love you all so much xxx,” Beckham, 51, wrote via Instagram on Friday, March 6, after her eponymous fashion brand’s Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show during Paris Fashion Week.

Victoria was joined by her husband, David Beckham, and their youngest three children:  Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14. (Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, was also present.)

“We are always so proud and astonished about what you achieve every single season raising the bar and continuing to live the dream that you have worked so hard for,” David wrote via Instagram, praising his wife’s designs. “You and your team really are incredible and we are proud to be here to witness the beauty that you continue to bring to each collection. We love you.”

Victoria Beckham made a public declaration of love for all four of her children amid ongoing speculation about the relationship between her eldest son, Brooklyn, and his parents following his no-show at dad David’s recent 50th birthday celebrations. Posting to her Instagram Stories on Monday, May 19, Victoria, 51, shared a cute photo of her […]

The former Spice Girls singer and David, 50, are also parents of son Brooklyn, 27, from whom they are currently estranged.

“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” Brooklyn claimed in a lengthy social media statement shared in January. “The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”

Brooklyn further alleged that his parents had “been trying endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Nicola Peltz Beckham before they tied the knot in 2022.

“I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared,” Brooklyn alleged. “I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. All we want [is] peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”

Neither Victoria nor David publicly responded to their son’s claims. Us Weekly reached out for comment at the time.

While Brooklyn has since stopped speaking to his parents and siblings, David and Victoria both publicly marked his 27th birthday earlier this week.

David also shared a birthday tribute to his eldest son, writing via his account, “Happy Birthday Bust. Love you x.” (David and Brooklyn had long called one another “buster” as a nickname.)
