15 Movies To Watch if You Like ‘Game of Thrones’

Quite amazingly, five years have elapsed since Game of Thrones concluded its eight-season run in 2019, and although fans remain divided with the final season, the series’ relevance has never waned. While the prequel series House of the Dragon has been partially responsible, a significant reason for its enduring quality is its sheer brilliance, not only for its mesmerizing fantasy spectacle but for its political intrigue, scintillating suspense, and its arresting and often confronting intensity as well.

As such, fans don’t have to stay within the realm of fantasy to recapture the heart-stopping thrill that Game of Thrones so famously provided. While several fantasy titles are simply must-watch movies for all Game of Thrones fans, everything from modern political satires to grueling war films, classic mobster pictures, and even dystopian sci-fi may prove to be just the tonic for those still missing the hit HBO series. These movies are perfect for every Game of Thrones fan, acting as inspired and, sometimes, perfect companions.

‘The Green Knight’ (2021)

One of the most overlooked films of the 2020s thus far, The Green Knight presents exactly what one would expect from an epic fantasy adventure handled by the bold creativity of A24. A commanding spin on the Arthurian legend, it follows young Sir Gawain (Dev Patel) as he embarks on a quest to prove his honor and bravery by defeating the Green Knight (Ralph Ineson). On his quest, he encounters ghosts, giants, and thieves while wrestling with his courage and resolve.

The comparisons to Game of Thrones are plain to see, with The Green Knight excelling as a dark and gritty fantasy with its sights firmly set on human nature. Its intriguing reworking of myth and legend to create a unique and spellbinding adventure gives it an alluring and enigmatic quality that is utterly transfixing. Bolstered by breathtaking visuals and Patel’s outstanding lead performance, The Green Knight is a modern masterpiece of fantasy cinema.

‘The 13th Warrior’ (1999)

Far better than its poor reviews and abysmal box office figures would suggest, The 13th Warrior is a gritty yet wondrous marriage of historical fantasy and swords-and-sandals action that all lovers of the genre should see. For Game of Thrones fans, it is particularly good for those who enjoyed the story of The Wall and its themes of duty, honor, and standing strong against a formidable and unnatural enemy.

It follows an exiled Arab ambassador as he joins forces with a group of Viking warriors to defend a remote village from an evil and mystifying force descending upon them from the nearby woods. Granted, The 13th Warrior isn’t without its flaws, but it does triumph as a compelling tale of dark fantasy eeriness and the valor of a warrior. Complemented by John McTiernan’s nous for action direction and practical production elements that feel especially immersive and intricate when the film is revisited today, The 13th Warrior stands as a forgotten gem of fantasy action that is perfect for Game of Thrones fans.

‘Dragonslayer’ (1981)

Despite being released as a box office flop, Dragonslayer has become an enduring fantasy adventure, one that has steadily amassed a cult following over the decades. Another brilliant dose of pure fantasy for Game of Thrones fans, it follows a young apprentice wizard who must kill a terrible dragon that terrorizes the kingdom of Urland, only sparing its people so long as they provide him with human sacrifices to feed on. The situation takes an urgent turn when the deceptive king’s daughter is to be the dragon’s next sacrifice.

Rich with dark fantasy adventure, exciting action, a wonderfully unconventional love story, and a lovable, bumbling hero worth cheering for, Dragonslayer is an underrated highlight of Disney’s forays into action-fantasy storytelling. In a piece written for The Daily Beast, George R. R. Martin himself heralded Dragonslayer as the fifth-best fantasy picture of all time and labeled its villainous dragon, Vermithrax, “the best dragon ever put on film.”

‘Dragonheart’ (1996)

Another forgotten fantasy gem to appeal to those who loved the dragons of Game of Thrones, Dragonheart substitutes the terrifying might that the magical beasts are sometimes presented with in favor of humanity, heart, and gentle wisdom. The 1996 fantasy adventure follows the unlikely partnership between Draco (Sean Connery), the last dragon, and Bowen (Dennis Quaid), a disillusioned dragon-slaying knight, as they work together in defiance of an evil king’s tyrannical reign.

It’s cheesy, childish, and its CGI effects haven’t aged all that gracefully over the years, and yet Dragonheart holds an enduring charm that is difficult to resist, particularly for those who love medieval fantasy indulgence and the air of majesty that surrounds dragons. Complemented by the efforts of its impressive ensemble cast and Randy Edelman’s genuinely exceptional score, Dragonheart stands as a commendable guilty pleasure that plenty of Game of Thrones fans would embrace for its fantasy allure and its surprisingly poignant tale.

‘Come and See’ (1985)

Taking a significant stride away from fantasy entertainment, Come and See is a grueling and deeply disturbing war film that may appeal to Game of Thrones fans who were left contemplating some of the brutal horrors the series depicted, particularly in war. Episodes like “Battle of the Bastards” and Season 5’s “Hardhome” are among the highest-rated Game of Thrones episodes on IMDb for their commitment to exhibiting the terror of war and showing humanity at its destructive and savage worst.

Very few films in history have managed to excel in this regard quite like Come and See, a Soviet-Belarussian WWII drama from 1985 that tracks a young boy as he joins a Resistance movement and experiences the atrocities committed in the war. It is a punishing picture, but an important and necessary one that is perfect for fans who enjoy grappling with the more challenging and confronting aspects of Game of Thrones’ morally ambiguous characters.

‘Children of Men’ (2006)

Science fiction and fantasy are often lumped together, largely due to both genres taking audiences to vastly different realities and featuring stories with great scope and thematic poignancy. Another aspect that makes them easy to link is their necessity to efficiently and masterfully build a new story world that audiences can understand quickly. While Game of Thrones did this brilliantly, there has perhaps been no greater cinematic achievement in this regard than the criminally underrated 2006 sci-fi drama Children of Men.

Set in a dystopian future where humanity has lost the ability to procreate, it follows a reluctant former activist as he safeguards the first pregnant woman in 18 years through to a mysterious safe harbor at sea. Children of Men is a masterpiece in immersive storytelling, one that thrives as a gripping, action-packed thriller, a contemplative sci-fi spectacle, and a deeply affecting human drama.

You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.

Advertisement

You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.

You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.

Advertisement

You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.

Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.

Advertisement

You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.

You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.

Advertisement

You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.

‘Gladiator’ (2000)

The lack of fantasy allure aside, Gladiator is a perfect movie for Game of Thrones fans on account of its astonishing scope, rich historical setting, and its ability to weave together a story of stirring, vengeful passion with overtones of political corruption and the elusive nature of power. Russell Crowe stars as Maximus Decimus Meridius, a Roman general who is betrayed by the emperor’s son when he kills his father to seize power and orders Maximus and his family to be murdered. Surviving the assassination attempt, Maximus becomes a gladiator with a mission to return to Rome to instill the vision Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) had for the senate while avenging his slain wife and child.

Ridley Scott’s ability to realize such a vast sense of scale while still delivering a rousing revenge story is brilliant, as is the brutal realization of the combat sequences, the gripping intensity of the performances, and the captivating atmosphere of power, corruption, and Roman glory. With even John Mathieson’s cinematography and Hans Zimmer’s gorgeous score worthy of singling out for praise, Gladiator soars across all disciplines of filmmaking as a defining triumph of epic cinema.

‘The Death of Stalin’ (2017)

Beneath all the fantasy glamour and the confronting violence, Game of Thrones is ultimately a political thriller, with each character a ruthless and cunning figure hoping to secure power and prestige. While this basic, oversimplified concept makes for pulsating drama, it can also conjure riotous satire, as is the case in Armando Iannucci’s underrated, darkly comic masterpiece The Death of Stalin.

Featuring an exceptional cast, it focuses on several advisors and followers of Joseph Stalin as they scramble to outwit each other in the wake of the Soviet Union leader’s sudden and unexpected demise. Running with a razor-sharp wit and a deliciously cynical perspective on humanity, The Death of Stalin mercilessly skewers politics to be a hilarious historical film that draws clear parallels to the modern day. Replacing the Red Wedding with the Red Scare and bloodshed with belly-laughs, The Death of Stalin is a great comedy for those who enjoy Game of Thrones’ scheming politics.

7

‘The Lives of Others’ (2006)

Another foray into political cinema, The Lives of Others is an Academy Award-winning German spy movie set in East Germany in 1984. It follows Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mühe), an espionage agent for the Stasi who is assigned to observe the conversations between a playwright and his lover. As he grows interested in their lives, Gerd begins to doubt the purpose of his task.

While the film may not closely replicate the political scheming that made Game of Thrones so intoxicating, The Lives of Others does maintain the same sense of moral ambiguity, using its bleak tone and historical setting to present an intriguing story about human connection. Additionally, spycraft played a significant though largely invisible role throughout Game of Thrones, and fans who were interested in that underlying deceit would do well to seek out The Lives of Others as a rewarding and surprisingly sincere movie about invading someone’s privacy while living behind the Iron Curtain.

‘The Last Duel’ (2021)

With its gritty, high-stakes medieval atmosphere, compelling focus on political intrigue and codes of honor, and its penchant for graphic and brutal violence, The Last Duel is able to match the intensity, aesthetic, and general themes of Game of Thrones, even with the stark differences between the stories. The biggest difference resides in The Last Duel’s basis, with the movie depicting true events that transpired in 14th-century France when the friendship of two knights is stained by an accusation of sexual assault and a looming fight to the death.

Like Game of Thrones, The Last Duel excels at conjuring a tone of imposing tension. It delivers a promise of violence and death that isn’t exciting or thrilling so much as it is stomach-churning. Also armed with a realistic understanding of human nature in all its egotistical and selfish complexity and an intriguing true story of a woman’s charge for justice in the Middle Ages, The Last Duel holds a certain gravitas that will resonate with many Game of Thrones fans.

Jessi was like another big sister to me,” Krull wrote alongside a carousel of images and videos that showed the pair enjoying good times together, and with their families.

Krull’s post continued, “She had a confidence and a way of being able to talk to anyone that I envied. She had an unmatched work ethic and a huge heart. Any time I needed help, needed to rant, or needed someone she was there without hesitation. Most importantly, she was the best mom and loved her kids and family fiercely.”

Marshals’ Kayce Flirts With New Woman After Monica’s Death

Published

on

Virgin River

Marshals shocked Yellowstone fans by killing Monica off — and are they now having Kayce Dutton move on after just four episodes?

During the Sunday, March 22, episode, Kayce (Luke Grimes) helped someone who got stranded after a plane crash. His daughter appeared quite grateful and by the end of the episode, she was flirting with Kayce at the bar.

“I wish I knew a local who could give me a crash course on all things Big Sky. You were born and raised here, what do you say?” Dolly (Ellyn Jameson) said while flirting with Kayce, who replied, “Maybe.”

CBS announced on March 12, that Marshals is returning for more episodes after its premiere was watched by 20.6 million viewers within seven days. This marked the most-watched network original series premiere without a football lead-in since 2017.

CBS announced on Thursday, March 12, that Marshals is returning for more episodes after its premiere was watched by 20.6 million viewers within seven days. This marked the most-watched network original series premiere without a football lead-in since 2017.

“Marshals delivered a breakout performance, capturing a massive audience across platforms and quickly establishing itself as one of TV’s most powerful new series,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said in a statement. “The overwhelming viewer response speaks to the strength of the Yellowstone world, the bold, character-driven storytelling from the creative team and the dynamic cast performances led by Luke Grimes.”

According to a press release, CBS has had several wins, with Marshals and Justin Hartley’s Tracker coming out as the top two most‑watched shows during their premiere week. The premiere of Luke Grimes‘ spinoff, meanwhile, ranks as CBS’ most-streamed episode ever on Paramount+.

Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, which aired from 2018 to 2024, originally introduced Us to Grimes, 42, as Kayce Dutton. After the show came to an end, it was announced that the actor would be headlining his own series for CBS, which follows Kayce as he leaves “ranching life behind to join an elite unit” of the U.S. Marshals while “combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence.”

The show debuted earlier this month with Grimes, Arielle Kebbel, Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen and Logan Marshall Green leading the cast. Longtime fans of Taylor Sheridan‘s Yellowstone universe were shocked, however, when the first episode revealed the death of Kayce’s wife, Monica (Kelsey Asbille).

Showrunner Spencer Hudnut later explained that the death happened after they realized Asbille, 34, wasn’t available to appear on the show.

Yellowstone has expanded with several spinoffs — but some of the shows have been going through extreme offscreen production delays. Taylor Sheridan‘s hit show, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. It became an instant hit for the Paramount Network, which inspired prequels including […]

“The original conversation was that it has to be something [that happens to Kayce in the series premiere]. There was the thought of, ‘Maybe we find him and he’s just bored because he was protecting his family and was a Navy SEAL, so then actually a calm life is not for him, which is a path,’” Hudnut told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month about the motivation behind the new spinoff. “But probably not a satisfying enough path for Kayce. Then, truthfully, as we were trying to figure it out, Monica was not one of the ingredients that was available to me.”

Hudnut clarified that he didn’t speak with Asbille before it was decided that Monica would be written off.

“No, I wasn’t part of any of that, so I can’t really speak to how or why that played out the way it did. But when that happened, it cleared up what that thing was for Kayce,” he noted. “And I think the way we’ve done it, my goal was to not undermine that journey in Yellowstone because they do have [the dream] — she says, ‘This is a dream come true’ at the end of it. They did achieve that. They did get what they finally wanted, and, unfortunately, life just intervened and disrupted everything that Kayce wanted. So that’s where we find him in Marshals.”

Marshals airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.

New Space Movie Breaks Box Office Records, Can It Save Sci-Fi?

By Henry Hards
| Published

Project Hail Mary entered its debut weekend riding high on a wave of positive buzz. That includes a rave review right here on GIANT FREAKIN ROBOT. It’s exactly the kind of movie audiences have been begging Hollywood to make for years, and now that they’ve made it, those audiences have responded.

Project Hail Mary opened with $140.9 million worldwide this weekend, making it the biggest debut of the year so far. The film earned $80.5 million in North America and $60.4 million internationally across 82 markets. That split shows strong domestic interest with solid overseas support, particularly for a non-franchise sci-fi release.

In the process, the Ryan Gosling-led movie also set a new record for Amazon MGM, delivering the largest opening in the studio’s history. The previous record holder, Creed III (2023), debuted with $100.4 million globally, including $41.8 million from international markets. Project Hail Mary surpassed both totals by a wide margin.

Compared to other recent releases, the gap is clear. Scream 7 brought in $97.2 million worldwide in its opening, with $33.1 million coming from international markets. Project Hail Mary outperformed it both domestically and overseas.

Jude Law’s Ex Breaks Silence on Chappell Roan Drama

Published

on

Jude Law’s ex Cat Cavelli is sharing her side of the story after Chappell Roan’s alleged interaction with her 11-year-old daughter in Brazil.

“Hi guys, good morning,” Cavelli said in a Sunday, March 22, Instagram video. “I wanted to say something because I’m getting so many messages about this now and honestly I didn’t realize it would get this crazy but a lot of people asked me, ‘What actually happened?’ and everything else and I know that Chappell has responded saying that it wasn’t her security and that she didn’t do it.”

She continued, “So, 100 percent this security guard was not a security guard of the hotel — that is what I can say. He looks after artists, so I don’t know if it was her personal security guard but he was with her. That is all I know. Did she send him to do it? Again, I don’t know. Look, I would like to hope not but at the same time, I think that you have a responsibility when you are a celebrity to make sure, I guess, that the people who work with you and act on your behalf are acting on your behalf.”

Cavelli questioned whether the security guard would have approached them if “he didn’t have the authority to do so.”

Paris Fashion Week delivered pure theatrical glamour thanks to Chappell Roan, who turned two iconic shows into her personal stage. She made a fashion statement by going braless at the Alexander McQueen Autumn Winter 2026 show on Sunday, March 8, wearing a see-through black gown that channeled gothic elegance. The dress featured an embellished collar, […]

“I don’t know,” she continued. “If he does, then obviously that’s a big problem because then he’s representing her in a way that she doesn’t want to be represented so I think that’s really important for her to notice and realize that’s not correct.”

Cavelli went on to note that they were staying at the same hotel as Roan, enjoying breakfast when they noticed someone who looked similar to the singer. Cavelli claimed her daughter “didn’t approach” Roan but went to see if the woman they spotted was, in fact, the pop star. (Cavelli is also mom to son Jax, whom she shares with professional soccer star Jorginho.)

“She didn’t have her phone, she didn’t try to take a picture, she didn’t approach her. She literally didn’t do anything. She just looked at her,” Cavelli claimed of her daughter, noting that a security guard then approached them with a “very aggressive tone.”

“For me, I feel like it really overstepped a boundary, because he is quite an intimidating … he is very large,” she continued. “So for him to come over to a table with just a woman and her daughter eating breakfast to kind of berate and scold us and say that he was going to complain and tell me that I should be teaching my daughter to be better, and that she’s badly educated, and we should respect people’s privacy, and we should not harass people, and all of these other things.”

[…]

Cavelli claimed she tried to explain that her daughter was “very excited” to see an artist that she “admires.” She also noted that Jorginho is “very well known” and her daughter “knows the limits” around public figures.

“I tried to explain this to him, and then he just kept saying, ‘Well, if that’s the case, you should know better. You should know how it is. You should know how it is. So you should teach her to be better. You shouldn’t allow her to be like this,’” Cavelli recalled. “I was shocked.”

She continued, “I did actually say to him at the time, I said, ‘Well, if this the case that she doesn’t even want people to look at her, she is very welcome to eat breakfast in her room, because this here is a public area, and I am a paying guest as well as her. So if I want to walk past someone’s table and look at them, I have every right to do so. I am not approaching her. I’m not doing anything to make her feel intimidated or nothing.’”

Cavelli said that she hopes Roan “did not know” and “did not send her security guard over to do this.” She noted that the family traveled to see the show, with her daughter asking to see the singer perform for her birthday present. The group ended up skipping the show.

“It’s how it is. We’ll say no more on it. That’s it,” she concluded. “I hope that maybe, if it wasn’t her, that she learns to not allow the people that work for her to treat people like this. That’s the end of it.”

In the caption, Cavelli wrote, “Good afternoon, everyone! I’ve been reflecting on the recent events, which is why it took me a while to speak out. First of all, I want to say that we’re all okay. We met Jorge here at his hotel, and I decided to share a bit about what happened. Thank you for the support and for all the kind messages.”

The drama began on Saturday, March 21, that Jorginho (real name Jorge Luiz Frello Filho) claimed that Roan’s security team wouldn’t allow his daughter to meet her.

“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 alleged in his statement via social media. “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.”

A security guard allegedly told Cavelli and her daughter that she shouldn’t “disrespect or harass other people.”

Chappell Roan’s look at the 2026 Grammy Awards was all about pushing boundaries. The “Red Wine Supernova” singer’s makeup artist, Andrew Dahling, said that she channeled a “Mugler medieval fantasy” by wearing prosthetic nipples and faux tattoos for the red carpet held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 1. Roan (real […]

“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,” Jorginho concluded. “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. 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.”

Roan, for her part, addressed the comments on Sunday in a video shared via social media.

“I’m just gonna tell my half of the story of what happened today with a mother and child, who were involved with a security guard who is not my personal security,” Roan said via her Instagram Story. “I didn’t even see a woman and a child, like, no one came up to me. No one bothered me. I was just sitting at breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel, as well.”

Roan denied that she asked the security official to “go up and talk” to the family on her behalf.

“I did not, [and] they did not come up to me. They weren’t doing anything,” Roan said. “It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe because there’s no action even taken, like, that’s so not what I stand behind.”

Roan noted that she has no issue with her fans, adding, “I do not hate people who are fans of my music. I do not hate children, like, that is crazy. I’m sorry to that mother and child that someone was assuming something that you would do something and that if you felt uncomfortable, that makes me really sad. You did not deserve that.”

That being said, the insider noted that Kim was “open” to Hamilton meeting her kids in the future.

“Lewis is such a great guy and has really been courting her and treating her right. He’s been making all the plans and making sure she is taken care of,” the third source added. “Everyone around her thinks it’s really sweet and what she deserves. Kim has had such a relaxed aura recently in all aspects of her life. Her mindset has totally changed. She’s not forcing anything, just letting it unfold naturally.”

Meghan Markle Uses This Viral Rice Polish for ‘Subtle Exfoliation’

Published

on

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!

Meghan Markle’s beauty routine changes periodically, but one thing remains constant: she always gives her skin the royal treatment by prioritizing ingredients such as rice enzyme powder, which effectively cleanses and deeply nourishes the skin.

In an interview with Allure, the Duchess of Sussex revealed Tatcha’s Rice Enzyme Polish as the product behind her effortless glow.

“It just sort of foams on your face,” she told the publication, adding that the polish “gives you a really subtle exfoliation” and aligns with her self-proclaimed “low-key” approach to her everyday cosmetology. “I don’t wear foundation in real life,” Markle continued. In other words, what you see is what you get.

We’re willing to bet it was Markle’s close friend and trusted makeup artist, Daniel Martin, who put her on to the product. His years-long obsession with Tatcha earned him an ambassadorship, and he now serves as the brand’s Global Director of Artistry. Occasionally, he’ll reveal which items he uses on the former actress, like a serum that shoppers swear is Botox in a stick.

It sounds like something out of a fairytale, but happy customers say it really is that good.

In an Amazon review, one person waxed poetic over how the product makes skin feel regal.

“Tatcha’s Rice Polish had my face feeling so smooth I was convinced I’d been secretly sandblasted by skincare angels,” they said of their experience. “One minute I’m a tired human, the next I’m a porcelain teacup from a royal collection.”

Taylor Paul Reacts to Doug Mason’s Message After Cancellation

Published

Taylor Frankie Paul sent a message to Doug Mason after he reacted to the news ABC decided to cancel her season 22 of The Bachelorette.

“In light of everything that has happened, I am just sending prayers to Taylor because that was her moment and her moment was blocked,” Doug, 28, said in an Instagram video on Friday, March 20. “All we can do right now is just be hopeful, and I am headed off to run to watch the sunrise.”

He concluded, “I hope you guys have a great day, and let’s stay positive and show nothing but support for people in need.”

After a fan account for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reposted the video, Taylor, 31, replied in the comments section, writing alongside a bandage heart emoji, “Aw my heart goes out to him. So sweet.”

Despite Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of The Bachelorette being canceled, she has needed to carry on as usual. “[I’m] always on [my phone],” Taylor, 31, wrote via Instagram comment on Friday, March 20, after a fan questioned why the reality TV star was posting on social media amid the Bachelor Nation scandal. “It’s my job, […]

ABC announced on Thursday, March 19, that season 22 of The Bachelorette was canceled days before the scheduled Sunday, March 22, premiere.

“In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of The Bachelorette at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family,” a Disney Entertainment Television spokesperson told Us in a statement at the time.

The update came after TMZ released footage of Taylor physically assaulting and throwing multiple chairs at ex Dakota Mortensen in a 2023 incident. In the video, Taylor’s daughter can be heard crying in the background. (Taylor shares daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 5, with ex-husband Tate Paul. She’s also mom to son Ever, whom she welcomed with Dakota in 2024.)

The incident led to Taylor’s arrest at the time, where she was charged with aggravated assault, two counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, child abuse with injury and criminal mischief after the incident. Taylor ultimately pleaded guilty to aggravated assault, while the other four charges were dismissed with prejudice. She later reached a plea deal.

A rep for Taylor told Us in a statement on Thursday that she is “very grateful for ABC’s support” while she “prioritizes her family’s safety and security.”

“After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm,” the rep said.

The statement continued, “There are too many women who are suffering in silence as they survive aggressive, jealous ex-partners who refuse to let them move on with their lives. Taylor has remained silent out of fear of further abuse, retaliation, and public shaming. She is currently exploring all of her options, seeking support, and preparing to own and share her story.”

Dakota, for his part, addressed the footage in a separate statement.

“As anyone who has seen the video will understand, this is a deeply upsetting situation,” Dakota said at the time. “I am, unfortunately, used to these baseless claims about me and our relationship, which I categorically deny. I am focusing on our son and his safety, and hope that Taylor will do the same.”

Dakota has since been granted a temporary protective order against Taylor and given temporary custody of their son, per documents obtained by Us.

SNL UK Slams Ex-Prince Andrew’s Ties to Jeffrey Epstein

Published

on

Saturday Night Live UK made its television debut by taking aim at ex-prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the deeply unpopular war in Iran and the seemingly endless Beckham family drama.

The UK version of the hit U.S. sketch comedy show — produced by Sky Studios — made its debut on Saturday, March 21, featuring a British cast of comedians. The cast wasted no time in weighing in on some of the world’s biggest news stories.

“Coming up on Weekend Update: pedophila. But first, war!” Weekend Update, the UK version, host Ania Magliano said alongside her cohost, Paddy Young.

After a slew of Iran-related jokes, the pair turned their attention back to the disgraced royal, who was arrested on February 19, his 66th birthday, on suspicion of misconduct in public office related to his relationship with Epstein, who died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

President Donald Trump is speaking out after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. “I think it’s a shame. I think it’s very sad,” Trump, 79, told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday, February 19. “I think it’s so bad for the royal family. It’s […]

Mountbatten-Windsor is accused of sharing confidential government information with the late pedophile while he served as a U.K. trade envoy between 2001 and 2011.

“Renovations to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s new home, Marsh Farm, have been taking place over the last month, including installation of Sky TV,” Mangliano said. “So, if you’re watching Andrew, hello! You’re not going to like this next bit. Also, I’m older than I look.”

She continued, “Andrew’s new residence, Marsh Farm, is of course named after the nearby marsh where his body will be found.”

“It was reported this week that the police investigation into Andrew is set to widen,” Young chimed in. “The big question now is, if Andrew is charged, found guilty and put in prison, will he be able to keep his mouth shut?”

The comedian then made a crude joke in reference to the ex-prince’s fictional cellmate’s penis.

Elsewhere during the show — hosted by SNL alum Tina Fey featuring a performance from Wet Leg — the cast took aim at President Donald Trump and his continued war in Iran. Since announcing the U.S. government, along with Israel, launched “Operation Epic Fury,” Trump, 79, has criticized NATO countries for their unwillingness to participate in the war.

“Remember the one where Ross and Rachel were on a break? I think perhaps that’s what we need,” cast member George Fouracres, who played Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the show’s cold open, said to an off-screen Trump via phone. “Not forever. Just until you’ve got all this war out of your system. Listen, we want different things. I know how badly you want to start World War III, and that’s great. You should absolutely do that. But we can’t be a part of it. You can, however, use the naval bases whenever you want.”

Elsewhere in the premiere’s Weekend Update segment, Young focused on the ongoing feud between David Beckham and Victoria Beckham and their estranged son, Brooklyn Beckham.

“Feuding father and son David and Brooklyn Beckham narrowly missed each other whilst at the same Beverly Hills hotel,” Young began. “The feud began when Victoria was, quote, ‘inappropriately’ close with her son at his wedding.”

Young then made a crude incest joke regarding Victoria and her son.

The new UK sketch comedy series, executive produced by SNL creator Lorne Michaels, also stars Hammed Animashaun, Ayoade Bamgboye, Larry Dean, Celeste Dring, Annabel Marlow, Al Nash, Jack Shep and Emma Sidi.

Jason Momoa Was Forced to Flee Devastating Hawaii Flooding

Published

Actor Jason Momoa is sharing an update on the devastating flooding ravaging parts of Hawaii.

“I got my family with me. We got out of the North Shore … our power went off,” Momoa, 46, said in a since-expired post shared via his Instagram Stories, per multiple media outlets including People and Page Six. “We’re safe for now, but there’s a lot of people who aren’t, so we’re sending all of our love.”

The Game of Thrones actor — who was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa — continued, “The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone’s safe and getting out. Stay safe out there.”

Catastrophic flooding has hit portions of Hawaii after the islands were hit with back-to-back storms. According to local authorities, the flooding is the worst the state has seen in 20 years. On Friday, March 20, flooding threatened to bust through a dam in northern Oahu, prompting thousands of people to evacuate, according to USA Today.

Chappell Roan Addresses Jorginho’s Allegations Against Her

Published

on

Jorginho Calls Out Chappell Roan Over Security Incident Involving His Daughter

Chappell Roan has broken her silence and responded to allegations made by soccer star Jorginho over a reported security incident involving his 11-year-old daughter, Ada Law. The singer shared her side of the story, saying that she had nothing to do with the incident.

Jorginho’s wife, Catherine Harding, also known as Cat Cavelli, who was with her daughter when the interaction with security happened, has also spoken out about the issue.

Jorginho’s Claims About Chappell Roan

Instagram Stories | Jorginho

On March 21, Jorginho made a lengthy post on Instagram Stories, alleging that Roan sent a member of her security team to approach his wife and daughter while having breakfast at a hotel, as The Blast previously reported.

The mother and daughter were in São Paulo to attend Lollapalooza, where Roan was one of the performers. It just so happened that they were staying at the hotel where the singer was, and Ada got excited upon seeing the singer. Jorginho said her daughter walked by Roan’s table to confirm it was her and didn’t do anything else.

Moments later, however, Harding and Ada were allegedly approached by a member of Roan’s security and spoke to them in an “aggressive” manner, telling Harding that she shouldn’t have allowed Ada to “disrespect” or “harass” people. According to Jorginho, the encounter left Ada “shaken” and “in tears.”

Chappell Roan’s Response To The Allegations

Instagram Stories | Chapell Roan

On March 22, Roan took to Instagram Stories to share her side of the incident. According to the singer, the security guard was not part of her team. Moreover, she didn’t see a woman and a child, adding that no one approached her at that time. “No one bothered me. Like, I was just sitting at my breakfast in my hotel. I think these people were staying at the hotel as well,” she explained.

The singer added that she didn’t ask security to talk to Harding and Ada. “It’s unfair for security to just assume someone doesn’t have good intentions when they have no reason to believe, because there’s no action even taken,” she said. Furthermore, she added that she does not hate kids, saying, “Like, that is crazy.”

She concluded by saying, “I’m sorry to the mother and child that someone was assuming that you would do something and if you felt uncomfortable.” Roan said the incident made her “sad,” adding, “You did not deserve that.”

Catherine Harding Also Spoke Out

Instagram | Cat Cavelli

Harding also shared her version of events on Instagram Stories. She decided to address the issue after getting “so many messages” after her husband posted about it. Harding said she has seen Roan’s video.

According to Harding, she’s absolutely sure that the person who approached her and Ada was not part of the hotel’s security, saying the person, who she described as “very large,” “looks after artists.” Whether or not Roan asked the guard to approach, she said she didn’t know.

Harding also questioned whether the security guard would have approached them without having been told, and if that’s what happened, “he’s representing her in a way that she doesn’t want to be represented so I think that’s really important for her to notice and realize that’s not correct.”

Catherine Harding Explained The Situation

According to Harding, the man berated her and told her to teach her daughter to “be better,” saying that the girl was “badly educated.” She explained the situation to the security guard, saying that her daughter was just excited to see Roan, adding that she knows about boundaries since Jorginho is also a public figure.

Harding said she hopes Roan didn’t really have anything to do with it. “I hope that maybe, if it wasn’t her, that she learns not to allow the people that work for her to treat people like this. That’s the end of it.”

Public Opinion Is Split

Jorginho’s post about the incident became viral, and now that both sides have spoken, social media users have differing opinions.

One user commented, “great job everyone for hopping on yet another woman’s hate train over a man’s unproven story.” Another wrote, “Where’s his apology? Or do men in sports get a free pass when they weaponize outrage?” “I know someone is lying and it’s not Chappell,” another added.

Meanwhile, others don’t believe the singer’s account. “I’m supposed to believe a random security guard came out of nowhere to defend her honor and thought a kid was a threat? All on his own? No orders just… just a lone security guy seeking justice?” one questioned. “Throws the guard under the bus while claiming zero involvement. Classic celeb deflection. Weak sauce,” another wrote.
