A movement in horror that began nearly a decade ago seems to have come full circle, with the pioneering movie of this wave being overtaken at the box office by a new hit. The new film’s success also serves as a passing-of-the-baton moment between two generations of horror filmmakers. The first generation, the millennials, were shown the way by Ari Aster, who broke out with Hereditary in 2018. The new Gen Z horror filmmakers all honed their craft on YouTube. The most successful of the bunch, Curry Barker, is just 26 years old. The youngest of this new wave of horror directors is Kane Parsons, who was hired to direct the upcoming and now critically acclaimed movie Backrooms when he was still a teenager.
Ahead of Backrooms‘ imminent debut, it’s Barker’s movie that has emerged as an industry-altering hit. We’re talking, of course, about Obsession. The movie exceeded box-office expectations in its opening weekend and then pulled off the unprecedented achievement of delivering a higher second-weekend gross. Not only did it earn more in its sophomore frame than it did in its first, but Obsession also delivered a jump of 36% — it’s a record that will probably not be broken for quite some time. It’s extremely rare for a wide release to deliver an increase in its box office revenue, but a 36% bump is genuinely unheard of.

Five killers. Five completely different ways to die — if you’re not smart enough, fast enough, or self-aware enough to avoid it. Only one of them is the villain your particular set of instincts gives you a fighting chance against. Eight questions will figure out which one.

01
Something feels wrong. You can’t explain it — you just know. What do you do? First instincts are the difference between the survivor and the first act casualty.
Advertisement
02
Where are you most likely to find yourself when things go wrong? Setting is everything in horror. Where you are determines which rules apply.
Advertisement
03
What is your most reliable survival asset? Every survivor has a quality the villain didn’t account for. What’s yours?

04
What kind of fear is hardest for you to fight through? Knowing your weakness is the first step to not dying because of it.
Advertisement
05
You’re with a group when things start going wrong. What’s your role? Horror movies are brutally clear about who survives group situations and who doesn’t.
Advertisement
06
What’s the horror movie mistake you’re most likely to make? Honest self-assessment is a survival skill. Denial is not.

07
What’s your best weapon against something that can’t be stopped by conventional means? Every horror villain has a weakness. The survivors are always the ones who find it.

08
It’s the final scene. You’re the last one standing. How did you make it? The final survivor always has a reason. What’s yours?

Your Survival Odds Have Been Calculated Your Best Chance Is Against…
Your instincts, your strengths, and your particular way of thinking under pressure point to one villain you actually have a fighting chance against. Everyone else — good luck.

Camp Crystal Lake · Friday the 13th
Jason Voorhees
Jason is relentless, but he is also predictable — and that is the gap you would exploit.
He moves in straight lines toward his target. He doesn’t strategise, doesn’t adapt, doesn’t outsmart. He simply pursues.
Your ability to keep moving, use the environment, and resist the panic that freezes most victims gives you a genuine edge.
The Crystal Lake survivors were always the ones who stopped running in circles and started thinking about terrain, water, and distance.
You think like that. Which means Jason, for all his indestructibility, would face someone who simply refused to be where he expected.

Haddonfield, Illinois · Halloween
Michael Myers
Michael watches before he moves. He is patient, methodical, and almost impossible to detect — until it’s too late for anyone who isn’t paying close enough attention.
But you are paying attention. You notice the shape in the window, the car parked slightly wrong, the silence where there should be sound.
Michael’s power lies in the invisibility of ordinary suburbia — the fact that nothing ever looks wrong until it already is.
Your spatial awareness and instinct to map every room, every exit, and every shadow before you need them is precisely the quality Laurie Strode had.
You are not a victim waiting to happen. You are someone who already suspects something is wrong — and acts on it.
Advertisement
Elm Street · A Nightmare on Elm Street
Freddy Krueger
Freddy wins by getting inside your head — using your own fears, your own memories, your own subconscious as weapons against you. That strategy requires a target who can be destabilised.
You are harder to destabilise than most. You’ve faced uncomfortable truths about yourself and you haven’t looked away.
The survivors on Elm Street were always the ones who understood what was happening and chose to face it rather than flee from it.
Freddy’s greatest weakness is that his power evaporates in the presence of someone who refuses to give him the fear he feeds on.
Your psychological resilience — the ability to stay grounded when reality itself becomes unreliable — is exactly the quality that keeps you alive here.
Advertisement
Derry, Maine · It
Pennywise
Pennywise is ancient, shapeshifting, and feeds on terror — but it has one critical vulnerability: it cannot function against someone who genuinely stops being afraid of it.
The Losers Club didn’t survive because they were braver than everyone else. They survived because they faced their fears together, and faced them honestly.
You ask the questions others avoid. You look directly at what frightens you rather than turning away.
That directness — the refusal to let fear fester in the dark — is Pennywise’s worst nightmare.
It chose the wrong target when it chose you. You are exactly the kind of person whose fear tastes like nothing at all.
Advertisement
Chicago · Child’s Play
Chucky
Chucky’s greatest advantage is that nobody takes him seriously until it’s already too late. He exploits the gap between how something looks and what it actually is.
You don’t have that gap. You take threats seriously regardless of how they present — and you never make the mistake of underestimating something because of its size or appearance.
Chucky relies on surprise, on the delay between recognition and response. You close that delay faster than almost anyone.
Your instinct to treat every unfamiliar thing with appropriate scepticism — rather than dismissing it because it seems absurd — is the exact quality that keeps you breathing.
Against Chucky, not laughing is already winning. You are very good at not laughing.

Here’s How Much ‘Obsession’ Has Grossed at the Box Office So Far
Thanks to its record-breaking performance in less than two weeks of release, Obsession has grossed around $85 million at the worldwide box office. This is already more than 100 times its reported budget of $750,000, which makes it one of the most successful movies of all time by return on investment. By comparison, Paranormal Activity grossed nearly $200 million on a budget of $450,000 and The Blair Witch Project grossed around $250 million on a budget of around $750,000. With a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score, Obsession is overtaking the $90 million lifetime haul of Hereditary as we speak, and it should comfortably pass the coveted $100 million mark worldwide this weekend. It’ll face direct competition from Backrooms, which is expected to break A24’s opening weekend box office record on the strength of incredible pre-release buzz and positive reviews. If projections hold, it will surpass Hereditary‘s lifetime domestic haul in three days. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
The film screen isn’t the only place Queen Latifah has found love over the years! In fact, the hip hop icon has been locked in with one woman, Eboni Nichols, for at least a decade. Despite the time spent together, the Queen and Eboni have managed to maintain a low-key public presence, especially regarding their son, Rebel. Most recently, Latifah and her mini family gave fans whiplash after making a rare appearance on the AMAs red carpet!
Queen Latifah, Eboni Nichols & Rebel Take Over Red Carpet
As mentioned, Latifah and her tribe graced the red carpet at the American Music Awards on Monday (May 25). She wore a faux-fur coat designed by Christian Siriano in colors light silver and white. Underneath the coat, she wore a beige-looking dress paired with jewelry by Marco Bicego, per InStyle. Meanwhile, according to HelloBeautiful, Eboni Nichols wore an emerald-green Thom Browne ‘fit featuring a cropped jacket and fitted dress. Rebel also ate and left no crumbs on the AMAs red carpet, wearing a black-and-white tuxedo with shorts. Kaavia James, the daughter of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, also joined Queen Latifah, Eboni and Rebel on the red carpet.

Social Media Gagged At Latifah Being A MUVA
On X (formerly Twitter), select fans were in disbelief about Queen Latifah’s home life! While some were gagged at her having a longtime female partner, others claimed to have known about the actress’ love preference. But the most shocking part of the red carpet appearance seemed to be Rebel poppin’ in. One tweet from @tyrisprint quoted a photo of Queen Latifah and Rebel, writing, “I’M SORRY??? WHEN WAS SHE EVER PREGNANT-.” The comment has garnered over 4.1 million views, over 615 comments and more than 50,000 likes.
To clarify, Rebel was reportedly born in 2019, though the manner through which he was conceived or who birth him is unclear. He appears to be about six years old. However, it wasn’t until 2021 when Queen Latifah publicly shouted out her son and her “love” Eboni Nichols while accepting her BET Lifetime Achievement Award. Also, Rebel’s appearance at the AMAs marks his first major red carpet with both of his parents.

Earlier this year, in February, Rebel was also spotted court side with his moms at the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Fast-forward to May. Queen Latifah opened up in an interview with Entertainment Tonight about how motherhood forces forward thinking and movement. She expressed gratitude for her village and expressed the importance of having them.
“It’s a challenge. Everything gets real. Priorities change too. You know, you realize what’s really important and who’s really important,” Latifah said. “And it’s tougher on other people, because when you get an actual baby, the grown people you treat like babies have to grow up, cause sorry, you can’t get that.
What Do We Know About The Actress & Eboni Nichols?
To this day, Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols have not confirmed whether they’re officially married. Most major entertainment outlets have referred to them as each other’s partner. Reports from InStyle to Vogue have linked them together for at least a decade after meeting on set of either on the 2007 film ‘Hairspray’ or ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in 2009.

While her partner is an icon in the Black community and entertainment industry, Eboni Nichols isn’t some slouch! She’s reportedly, per PEOPLE, a professional dancer and choreographer who’s been showing off her moves since she was 7 years old. Additionally, Eboni has worked with top performers like Beyoncé, Usher, Snoop Dogg and Rihanna. And her talents has reached beyond live music performances to television and film, racking up credits on creative works like, ‘Jane the Virgin’ and ‘Girls Trip,’ which Queen Latifah featured in.
Schumer, 44, took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 27, to share moments from her fun-filled trip to Italy with her son Gene, 7, whom she shares with her husband Chris Fischer. In one pic, the comedian looked glamorous in a rosy silk dress featuring a plunging neckline and straps that tied in bows on her shoulders. The number, which she wore during a yacht ride, was finished with a floor-length skirt.
Schumer kicked off her shoes during the ride and rocked soft makeup. She tied her blonde hair up in a half-up hairdo and gave the camera a soft smile.
Elsewhere in the post, Schumer showed off her bikini body in a red one-piece. Her swimsuit featured thin straps and a square neckline. The I Feel Pretty star accessorized with a straw visor complete with a black rim as she went paddleboarding.

Schumer also took her little one for a jet ski ride during her trip.
“Travel,” she captioned the post. Her fans complimented her in the comments section.
“We love you Amy! You look fab and happy!!!” one wrote, while another added, “Beautiful! 😍😍.” A third commented, “Incredible 🔥.”
Last month, she again rocked a swimsuit while vacationing with a friend. She stunned in a black one-piece featuring thick straps and a plunging neckline. The design was finished with brown buttons lining her V-neck. During the same getaway, the Trainwreck actress sizzled in a burgundy suit with more buttons on her neckline.
Amy Schumer is ready for summer. Schumer, 44, proudly showed off her figure while rocking a one-piece in a mirror selfie she posted on Tuesday, March 31.

Schumer has been candid about her weight loss through the years, sharing that she lost 50 pounds through weight loss drugs and a lifestyle change. She also was diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, which can be life threatening, and also causes puffiness in the face.

“So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard,” Schumer explained during a January episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “I learned I had this condition, and that I had something called moon face, and I’m starring in a movie — and there’s a camera right in my face.”
After she got rid of the condition, people told her she “looked great.”
“I just needed one person to just amp me up,” she said.
What happens in the Hamptons rarely stays there — at least when it comes to the cast of Summer House and their romances.

Roomies, the internet is once again doing what it does best—zooming in, rewinding, and dissecting every frame of a new clip that’s now making its rounds online. This time, it has familiar names, Chrisean Jr. and Blueface, right in the center of the conversation.
Blueface Keeps The Same Answers Amid Ongoing Paternity Talk
In the moment, the rapper finds himself back in the spotlight after a video began trending that shows him in what appears to be a casual, but very telling, public setting. Live Bites obtained the clip, which shows Blueface seated inside a restaurant booth alongside a woman with red finger waves and visible tattoos. In the footage, he wears a black shirt, a large gold chain, and a red Yankees cap as the pair scroll through and react to what sound like live-stream comments.
At one point, the woman is heard reading off a remark suggesting he is “playing step daddy” while also allegedly “denying” his “biological son.” She then directly questions him, asking, “What son?” prompting Blueface to shake his head and respond, “I don’t know,” before adding that it would have to be his baby for him to deny it. He continues, “I can’t deny someone else’s kid, right?” as the woman doubles down asking who they are referring to, to which he replies, “It doesn’t matter.”
One Instagram user @tewcents22 said, “In his defense even after meeting with Chrisean that day he still didn’t take his statements back“

This Instagram user @thesuperlazy1 commented, “I believe him. Chrisean has been too quiet“
And, Instagram user @michealanderson5268 asked, “Wait you guys want to force him to be the father??“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @hawaiianbr33z3 claimed, “It’s not [his] kid 😂 people just refuse to let it go“
While Instagram user @farmacy_healthee wrote, “The storyline of not being the father gets more traction and attention then him saying he is“

Lastly, Instagram user @codenamefiji shared, “Atp we don’t gaf“
This Ain’t The First Time Blueface Has Said This
As previously reported, Blueface doubled down on his longstanding claim that he is not the father of Chrisean Rock’s son, Chrisean Jr., making it clear under direct questioning from Jason Lee that his stance has not changed. The rapper alleged that he and Chrisean had at times “played along” with the public narrative surrounding their relationship for attention and financial gain. Also, he insisted there was never an official plan behind the storyline but rather an understanding that they continued it as it benefited them both.
He further claimed she did not contact him during labor and said she was allegedly with the child’s biological father at the time of birth. Additionally, he repeated prior accusations that she is a “set-up artist,” claiming she once tried to have him robbed. He even described her as impulsive and reckless, including allegations about leaking addresses. Blueface also briefly touched on broader online speculation connected to Ronny’s death, referencing rumors about Chrisean’s possible involvement. However, he stopped short of confirming anything.
Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for June 1-5, 2026 excite with Darin Brooks returning as Wyatt Spencer. And it looks like he brought along a hitchhiker who blindsides his father. Plus, R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) throwing a tantrum after he got punched.
So, we’re gonna get into what is ahead the week of June 1st. But as we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s happening the rest of this week. Then we’ll jump into what is coming in the week ahead.
Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Wednesday, May 27th: RJ Throws a Tantrum
So, on Wednesday, May 27th, R.J. is with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) at Bikini Bar right after he got hit and then they’re both going to be talking with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and we’re going to see R.J. pitching another fit about Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) and pressuring them to fire him. I’m sure this is because, well, two reasons. Cause Will punched R.J. in the stomach and because Electra took Will back and R.J. is salty about it.
Ridge and Steffy don’t want personal stuff at work. But at the same time, they’re not going to be happy to hear that Will sucker punched R.J., so they may actually let him vent. I did think that Will kind of lashed out in an extreme way. But on the flip side, R.J. has been talking just so much crap about him. Remember, he’s called Will a thief and a low life and has tried repeatedly to get him fired.
Advertisement
So, I think R.J. was engaged in what is known as fighting words and kind of had it coming to him. But nothing that happened at a bar on the beach should affect Will’s job. But this time it might because Steffy’s there and she was freaking out about her brother getting hit and Finn was saying his rib might be bruised. So, it was a pretty brutal punch.
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Word Spreads about Hope’s Hiatus
We may also see word spreading about Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) taking a leave of absence. I don’t think initially it’ll cross their minds that she might have gone to Logan to work with Katie Logan (Heather Tom), but Steffy might think Hope is having a fit and trying to force her hand by being extra. Darin Brooks and Denise Richards both return to Bold as Wyatt Spencer and Shauna Fulton on Wednesday. I expect Wyatt at the top of the episode and Shauna in the final moments, but we’ll see how it goes. Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) reaches out to bring in somebody from the past to help expand Logan.
So, he might be bringing in Wyatt for the leadership team, but I’m hoping Bill wants Wyatt to create a jewelry line to compete head-to-head with Forrester Creations. Wyatt’s mom is legendary jewelry designer Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer), and Wyatt learned design from her from a very young age. He’s super talented. He’d be the perfect person to help Bill and Katie.
And at the end of Wednesday’s episode is when I expect Denise Richards as Shauna. We’re going to see Bill, Wyatt and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) jaws drop as Shauna waltzes in and she says, “Hi guys.” And of course, Bill wants to know why the hell that she is even there. That’s a very good question.

Thursday, May 28th on Bold and Beautiful: Bill’s Plans Go Sideways
Then, on Thursday, May 28th, somebody’s throwing a wrench into Bill’s plans. And my guess is it is Shauna. She wants to hop on the Logan train and tells Bill that she knows Katie needs a lead designer. Turns out Shauna ran some high-end boutiques in Vegas and she wants in at Logan on the ground floor. I don’t think she’s got any design experience herself, but maybe she knows somebody that could help Katie.
And Shauna being back in LA may also be an unwelcome surprise for Ridge and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) since Shauna had a thing for Ridge and she and Quinn were conspiring and Shauna got Ridge drunk and married him in Vegas. I think that was annulled pretty fast. So, we’ll see how long she sticks around. At least a month, maybe longer, because Denise Richards is still taping.
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Brooke’s Going to Flip Out
And this week, Hope, of course, told her mom she’s frustrated, doesn’t believe Steffy’s going to bring back her line. And then she told Brooke she is taking a leave of absence from Forrester Creations. But when Brooke finds out Katie hired Hope, things are going to get explosive and super messy on Bold and the Beautiful.
And on Thursday, Donna is caught in the middle of the Logan feud. So, we’ll see if she’s just feeling uncomfortable about having to lie to Brooke and Eric Forrester (John McCook), or if Brooke is ranting about Hope taking a leave of absence, and Donna realizes that Hope told this lie as her cover story at work at Logan, even though Donna already knew they were going to keep it a secret.

Friday, May 29th on B&B: Deke’s Dreams Come True
Friday, May 29th, things are turning around for Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone). If you remember, Hope said that Deke had to be part of the deal, and Katie, Bill, and Liam agreed. So, I expect Hope to trot over and make Deke’s day.
Now that she’s on leave of absence from Forrester Creations, Hope and Deke can hit the ground running at Logan. I expect him to be absolutely thrilled when Hope comes by with a job offer because design is his dream.
She wants Deke to help her set up her new line at Logan. And of course, their dad, Deacon, is going to be absolutely thrilled that Hope and Deke are working together again. But is he going to have to keep it a secret?
You know, are they going to tell Deacon knowing he would have to keep it a secret from Taylor? Who would have to keep it a secret from Steffy? So, there’s a lot of opportunities for this to spill.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Will Zende Reach Out to Hope
And of course, Hope still needs a lead designer. And I’m super curious if it’ll be Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz). I wouldn’t be surprised if Hope got a call from Zende asking why she left. And if Hope tells him that she believes Hope for the Future will never thrive under Steffy and Ridge, it might open a door to have a conversation between them. Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) has happy news to share with Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock).
We know she took back the WE necklace from Will and he and Electra are reunited. And I wonder if R.J. is going to come in ranting and being a jealous little baby because Electra rejected him and chose Will. I feel like R.J. and Dylan are going to be consolation prizes for each other.
Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Wyatt Spencer – R.J. Forrester
Week of June 1st-5th on Bold and the Beautiful: RJ Won’t Back Down
The week of June 1st through the 5th, I expect R.J. to keep making problems for Electra and Will, especially after he got hit. And if they haven’t already fired him, R.J.’s going to keep pushing. And there is a chance that Steffy might consider firing Will over the punch. But again, that’s personal.
Happened outside of the office. So, Steffy might just warn Will. Nothing like that better ever happen at the office. However, I’m sure Katie and Bill would be thrilled if Steffy fired Will and he came over to Logan.
We’ll see Deke and Hope getting busy at Logan since Katie and Bill want to push out Hope’s line ASAP. But I also fully expect to see Remy now trying to lurk around Spencer Tower instead of Forrester Creations so he can try and talk to Deke since Dylan’s not going to help him. I’m also curious to see how long Hope, Katie, Bill, and Liam can keep the secret of Hope working at Logan before Brooke finds out and declares war on Katie.

B&B Spoilers: Steffy Flips Out
And I expect Donna to insist that she tried to stop Hope from signing with them. Steffy might actually be glad in a weird way because she has wanted rid of Hope for a while. At the same time, I am sure that Steffy will still rant about Logan poachers and traders and remind everybody about Hope’s coup.
Expect more of Taylor and Deacon and how they are moving forward with their happily ever after. We’re also going to get more info about what Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) is up to, including her mysterious roommate. And I’m sure we’ll get more info on what Shauna and Wyatt have been up to while they’ve been away.
According to a recent interview with actor Darin Brooks, we are going to find out what is the status with Flo Fulton (Katrina Bowden) and Wyatt because he brings her mom with him to LA. And it looks like, by the way, that Wyatt isn’t a drive-by. Darin is staying for a while. And it looks like Denise Richards is around for at least a month, maybe longer, but she’s supposed to be on a recurring basis.
Travis Kelce is addressing the viral courtside moment that showed him chugging a beer during an NBA playoff game with his fiancée, Taylor Swift.
The NFL star said he was trying to lift the atmosphere as the Cleveland Cavaliers trailed the New York Knicks, calling it a “classy” and controlled celebration.
When the clip of the moment hit the internet, fans were divided, with some Taylor Swift fans branding it a “red flag” moment, especially due to her reaction.

During the May 27 episode of “New Heights,” Travis brushed off the buzz over his viral courtside beer moment with a bit of humor and pride, speaking with his brother Jason Kelce about the clip that showed him quickly finishing a beer while attending a basketball game with fiancée Taylor Swift.
Jason brought it up first, and Travis didn’t shy away from it. “That was a classy chug, Jason,” he joked, per E! News.
Travis continued, “Didn’t spill one drop. Didn’t crush the can. I’m on a hardwood floor at an NBA game, could’ve got messy. It was a smooth, classy chug to get the people going.”
The Kansas City Chiefs star explained that the energy in the arena played a big role in his spontaneous celebration, noting the intensity of the May 23 matchup between the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Arena, where the Knicks came out on top.
“We’re down 10 f-cking points,” he said, explaining he was simply trying to lift the mood. “I’m trying to get some type of f-cking energy going in the building.”

Jason Kelce Hilariously Breaks Down Travis Kelce’s Viral Courtside Beer Chug Moment
The moment played out as Taylor Swift’s “Ready For It” blasted through the arena speakers. Travis stood up, downed the drink, tipped his hat to nearby fans, and soaked in the cheers.
Swift, who was seated beside him, was seen laughing and applauding along, while partially covering her face.
Jason later turned the clip into a full comedic breakdown during the podcast episode, praising his brother’s unexpectedly polished technique.
“It wasn’t like too much energy,” he joked. “It was just the right amount, and it was smooth, just like everything you do. You are a smooth athlete. You run around smoothly, you have a smooth golf swing, and you’re a smooth chugger.”

Jason also pointed out how unfazed Travis looked when the drink started foaming up mid-chug. “It’s not even touching the lips, no form of panic,” he laughed while replaying the clip. “It started to foam a little bit. You didn’t even panic when the foam started coming up.”
Travis Kelce’s Viral Beer-Chug Moment During His Courtside Date Night With Taylor Swift Was Labeled A ‘Red Flag’
Aaron Josefczyk Newscom/MEGA
The beer-chugging moment became one of the biggest talking points from the couple’s courtside date night, which also included a sweet kiss captured by cameras during the game.
Throughout the matchup, Swift and Travis appeared fully invested as they cheered on the Cavaliers, a team Travis has supported since growing up in nearby Cleveland Heights.
However, online reactions to the viral clip were somewhat harsh, as social media users criticized Travis’ behavior, calling the moment immature and saying that Swift was engaged to a “36-year-old frat boy.”
“Red flag right here. It’s not too late to run, Tay Tay!” an X user commented, while another wrote, “I had an ex that would do stuff like that, and it was so embarrassing.”

A fourth person stated, “The only thing more embarrassing than him was the Cavs’ performance on the court.”
Others speculated about what the interaction could supposedly mean for the future of their relationship.
Fans Defend The NFL Star’s Behavior

Amid the backlash, many fans rushed to defend the NFL star, arguing he was enjoying himself and that Swift clearly found the moment funny rather than embarrassing.
“A woman that lets her man do him!! They’ll be together for a while,” one supporter commented online.
Another said, “I love that his personality is so large that he is also the center of attention, and she loves seeing him shine.”

Despite the excitement inside the arena, the Cleveland Cavaliers ultimately lost to the New York Knicks 121-108.
Wedding Rumors Swirl As Alleged Guest Complains Over No Plus-One At Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Event
ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA
Meanwhile, speculation surrounding the couple’s relationship continues to grow. Recent rumors have claimed that alleged save-the-dates were sent out for a possible July 3 wedding in New York City, though neither Swift nor Travis has publicly confirmed the reports.
The chatter intensified further after reports surfaced claiming that at least one alleged guest was unhappy with the wedding arrangements.
According to the Daily Mail, an unnamed invitee reportedly complained about not being allowed to bring a plus-one, saying attending solo would feel uncomfortable because they supposedly wouldn’t know many other guests.
“My invite did not let me bring a plus-one,” the unnamed guest reportedly said. “I mean, what am I supposed to do? Go alone? That is so awkward. I don’t think I am going to attend because I don’t want to go by myself, and I am not sure I will know too many people there. I mean, sorry, I am not friends with Gigi and Bella Hadid!”

Despite the claims, Swift and Kelce have yet to make any announcements about their wedding, with the singer reportedly trying to keep things under wraps as much as possible.
HBO has released plenty of flagship properties over the last 5–10 years, but few have developed the same level of following as The White Lotus. Written and directed solely by Mike White, HBO has unleashed three full seasons of The White Lotus into the world, and there’s no sign of the show going anywhere anytime soon. Cameras are now rolling on The White Lotus Season 4, and despite a minor setback, the show is expected to air before the end of next year. Helena Bonham Carter had previously been cast in a key role in The White Lotus Season 4, but unexpectedly departed the project after production began, which led to her being recast with Laura Dern. It will not be Dern’s first time starring in the HBO anthology series, since she had a small voice-only role in Season 2.
When any show gets as popular as The White Lotus, it’s only natural for other streaming services to begin searching for suitable alternatives. For Netflix, The Four Seasons has landedas its most prominent White Lotus replacement, and while there are some differences worth nitpicking, the similarities are hard to deny. The Four Seasonslacks the same HBO prestige-level production as The White Lotus, but it does feature a group of tight-knit friends traveling to different locations as a tragedy looms. The first season of The Four Seasons aired on Netflix late last year, and while the ending didn’t exactly set up a clear Season 2, the show was renewed for a sophomore season. The Four Seasons Season 2 is officially confirmed to release tomrrow, May 28, after Netflix debuted the first trailer for the second season not long ago.

The Academy Has Decided Your Perfect Film Is…
Your answers have pointed to one Oscar Best Picture winner above all others. This is the film that was made for the way your mind works.

Parasite
You are drawn to films that operate on multiple levels simultaneously — that begin in one genre and quietly, brilliantly migrate into another. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite is a film about class, desire, and the architecture of inequality that manages to be darkly funny, deeply suspenseful, and genuinely shocking across a single extraordinary running time. Your instinct is for cinema that hides its true intentions until the moment it’s ready to reveal them. Parasite is exactly that — a film that rewards close attention and punishes assumptions, right up to its devastating final image.

Everything Everywhere All at Once
You want it all — and this film gives you all of it. The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most maximalist films ever made: action comedy, multiverse sci-fi, family drama, existential crisis, and a genuinely earned emotional core that sneaks up on you amid the chaos. You are someone who responds to ambition, who doesn’t want cinema to choose between being entertaining and being meaningful. This film refuses that choice entirely. It is overwhelming by design, and its overwhelming nature is precisely the point — because the feeling of being crushed by infinite possibility is exactly what it’s about.

Oppenheimer
You are drawn to cinema on a grand scale — films that understand history not as a backdrop but as a force, and that place their characters inside that force and watch what happens. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is a film about the terrifying gap between what we can do and what we should do, told with the full weight of one of the most consequential moments in human history behind it. You want your films to feel important without feeling self-important — to earn their ambition through sheer craft and the gravity of their subject. Oppenheimer does exactly that. It is enormous, complicated, and refuses easy comfort.

Birdman
You are drawn to films that foreground their own construction — that make the how of the filmmaking part of the what it’s about. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, shot to appear as a single continuous take, is cinema examining itself through the cracked mirror of a fading actor’s ego. You respond to formal daring, to the feeling that a film is doing something that probably shouldn’t be possible. Michael Keaton’s performance and Emmanuel Lubezki’s restless camera create something genuinely unlike anything else — a film that is simultaneously about creativity, relevance, self-destruction, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing if your work means anything at all.

No Country for Old Men
You are drawn to cinema that trusts silence, that refuses to explain itself, and that treats dread as a form of meaning. The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men is a film about the arrival of a new kind of evil — implacable, arbitrary, and utterly indifferent to the moral frameworks we use to make sense of the world. It is one of the most formally controlled films ever made, and its controlled restraint is what makes it so terrifying. You want your films to haunt you, not comfort you. You are not interested in resolution if resolution would be dishonest. No Country for Old Men is honest in a way that most cinema never dares to be.

KJ Dillard spent the last season of “Summer House” sharing more of his personal life with viewers, and during part one of the reunion, he made a heartbreaking admission. According to Dillard, 29, he spent some time in a hospital after season 10 of the hit Bravo series wrapped to focus on his mental health.
“Summer House” star KJ Dillard reveals he received treatment for personality disorder.
When host Andy Cohen went around the couch to speak with the “Summer House” cast members about how things have been for them following the end of the season, Dillard emotionally revealed he’d dealt with frightening mental health struggles.

“In the fall, I went through some heavy stuff mentally,” Dillard struggled to say. “I actually had to go to the hospital for self-harm, and I was there for a week.”
Dillard began fighting back tears, revealing that his co-stars, Ciara Miller and Mia Calabrese, visited him “almost every day” when he was hospitalized before stating he then spent “a few months” in recovery.
According to Dillard, spending time in recovery allowed him the chance to focus on himself. “I got to focus on myself, and I needed that because I think my whole life I distracted myself and ran away from my issues instead of facing them head-on, but now I’m better,” he said.

He added, “I’m in therapy, and I’m on medication. I got diagnosed with [borderline personality disorder] while I was in the hospital.”
Dillard Told His ‘Summer House’ Co-Stars That He Was Grateful To Be Alive

Elsewhere in the episode, Dillard expressed gratitude to his co-stars for the support they’ve shown him and said he was thankful to be alive.
“Everyone here has somewhat shown support in their own way, so I appreciate that,” Dillard told Cohen. “And I’m very thankful that the audience is just embracing that because it’s my truth, you know, and I’m not gonna not be honest about what I go through, especially if it can help others.”
Dillard’s story hit some of his castmates hard, specifically Jesse Solomon, who was choked up by it. “It’s a moving story,” Solomon, 33, stated. “I feel for you, and I’m glad you’re good ’cause I don’t want anybody to go through that, so I’m happy he’s feeling better.”
‘Summer House’ Fans Are Rallying Around Dillard Following His Candid Confession
It takes a lot of courage to speak openly about mental health and personal struggles on such a massive public platform. Wishing KJ Dillard nothing but the best on his journey toward healing and growth.
Solomon wasn’t the only one moved by Dillard’s story. Online, “Summer House” fans praised the Bravo newbie for his candor and bravery.
“Wow..the courage he showed is astounding. Poor baby Angel, ugh, it hurts my heart he went through this,” someone posted, while another said, “Sending nothing but positive vibes and support to KJ. Navigating public life while working on your mental well-being isn’t easy, and it’s great to see him prioritizing his health.”
Another user commended Dillard for sharing his truth on a “massive platform” like Bravo. “Wishing KJ Dillard nothing but the best on his journey toward healing and growing.”
A fourth netizen posted, “Seeing reality TV stars open up about real-life challenges like this is so important. It completely breaks down the stigma around getting help and reminds everyone that mental health matters.”

Dillard Threw Shade At His Former Friend, West Wilson
Bravo | Charles Sykes
Prior to the “Summer House” reunion, Dillard threw shade at his former friend, West Wilson, on Instagram.
Following Wilson’s confession that he’s dating Amanda Batula, his ex-girlfriend’s (Miller) former best friend, Dillard posted a screenshot of a song by The O’Jays called “Back Stabbers.”
“Logging off…” he captioned the post, according to a previous report from The Blast.
What Did Wilson Text Dillard Following The Reunion?
Dillard and Wilson came face-to-face for the first time since his Instagram post at the “Summer House” reunion, which began airing last night, May 26.
Before that, though, Dillard admitted on an episode of “Watch What Happens Live” that Wilson actually texted him following the reunion, but he wasn’t ready to respond.
When Cohen pressed Dillard to read the message on TV, Dillard complied.

In his message, Wilson thanked Dillard for showing kindness during the heated sit-down gathering. “I’ve been off social, and I think I lost touch with how much hurt there was. I’m incredibly sorry,” he said.
Regarding his mental health, Wilson said he was sending his former friend “love,” acknowledging that he “shared a lot.”
“… I’m always rooting for the best for you. I know it will take some time, but whenever you feel like you’re ready, lunch or a phone call would mean a lot in the spirit of healing. No need to respond. Take your time,” Wilson’s message finished.
