Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Jim Curtis are still going strong after more than a year together — but a walk down the wedding aisle isn’t on the horizon quite yet.

“They are allowing the relationship to develop at its own pace and are much stronger, more positive and more confident that their lifestyles and priorities are compatible [than they were a year ago],” an insider exclusively tells Us of the pair’s relationship. “They have had conversations about their long-term future. They are enjoying the moment. “

The couple were first spotted together in Mallorca over the 2025 4th of July weekend, with Us learning at the time that they’d been set up by mutual friends.

The source confirmed to Us that Aniston, 57, and Curtis, 50, aren’t necessarily avoiding discussing a potential engagement — it’s simply that “neither feels the need to force a timeline.” (Aniston was previously married to Brad Pitt from 2000 to 2005 and later to Justin Theroux from 2015 to 2018. Curtis shares a son with his ex-wife Rachel Napolitano.)

Jennifer Aniston hasn’t shied away from stepping out in public with boyfriend Jim Curtis. The pair, who were first romantically linked in July 2025 after a trip to Mallorca, have captured the hearts of her fans, who just want to see the star happy. Prior to her romance with Curtis, Aniston was married to Brad […]

“One thing that they did discuss in the beginning of their relationship is that they don’t want more children together,” the insider adds. “Jen has met his son, and she thinks he’s great. They are focused on building a lasting partnership. They both do feel they found the person who understands them. It just works.”

A second source tells Us that Aniston and Curtis have definitely communicated about “what the next step looks like” for their relationship.

“Jen is open to getting married again, but they’re both on the same page about not rushing it,” they note. “She’s even open to the idea of doing something really low-key, like eloping.”

Aniston and her beau have started stepping out together more frequently this year, including the Friends star’s Q&A with Curtis to promote his new book, The Book of Possibility, at New York City’s 92nd Street Y on Wednesday, September 2.

Their onstage panel included numerous poignant moments as Curtis opened up to his girlfriend and the audience about how he dealt with a life-challenging medical diagnosis in his 20s. (Curtis experienced partial paralysis and chronic nerve damage after doctors discovered lesions on his spinal cord.)

“I’m not saying here that if the doctor tells you to do something, you should get up and leave,” Curtis shared at the event, which Us attended. “What I’m saying is you don’t have to live as the victim. You don’t have to live in your suffering. It can become your power. As soon as you accept it and love it [you can move beyond it].”

He reflected on his own journey of acceptance as he dealt with significant physical limitations.

“I would say I got into a motorcycle accident [to explain his limp]. Why would I say that?” Curtis revealed at the 92nd Street Y. “I was so shameful that I had a medical condition. [I thought] I was broken in some way. I thought the motorcycle accident was at least a little macho. It was this identity of the ‘macho, strong man’ … it didn’t come with the connotation and shame of, ‘This can get worse.’”

He later acknowledged, “It was a long journey in which I realized I could have done it quicker … There are people who are just suffering because they don’t know what the next step is or they need a little bit of inspiration,” he said. “That was an easy choice for me.”

Jennifer Aniston’s rumored boyfriend, Jim Curtis, has nothing but positive things to say about the pair’s recent trip to Mallorca, Spain. “I am back from vacation and what an experience!” Curtis, 49, wrote in a newsletter emailed out on Monday, July 14, according to Page Six. “When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain […]

Aside from their recent public appearance in New York City, Aniston and Curtis revisited the earliest days of their romance when they returned to Mallorca over the summer.

“They spent a lot of time on the water [and] relaxed and were with some of Jen’s closest friends,” a source told Us earlier this month. “Her friends have really embraced Jim. He’s part of the group now, and everyone gets along really well. That means a lot to Jen because her friends are such a big part of her life.”

The pair were joined on their Mediterranean getaway by some of Aniston’s longtime pals, including her Horrible Bosses and Office Christmas Party costar Jason Bateman, model Christian Hogue and stylist Jamie Mizrahi.

Every decade has its own unique brand of action movie. The 70s were gritty and cynical, the 80s were bombastic and musclebound. The 2000s started with martial arts and bullet time and ended with a more grounded realism that led directly into the brutal and bloody 2010s. Of course, there are plenty of action movie exceptions that prove the rule for each decade, but the trends are indisputable.

There are a lot of labels that could be applied to the action movies of the 90s. They continued some of the trends of the 80s and carried over influence from some major filmmakers. The concepts got higher and the budgets got bigger, with CGI paving the way for even more outrageous scenarios. Satirical, over-the-top, old fashioned, hard boiled, action-packed and out of this world are all terms that can be applied to some of the best action movies of the 90s, but a better descriptor would be fun. These are the eight most fun action movies of the 90s, ranked.

‘Last Action Hero’ (1993)

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s action star developed over time. He started with monosyllabic barbarians and cybernetic organisms that relied more on his physicality. Then he branched out with badasses who spoke mostly in one-liners. Finally, directors began to harness his natural charisma and his star reached nuclear fusion. In the 90s, he bid a bloody farewell to his ultraviolent past with Total Recall, brought a bit of his action persona to the family comedy Kindergarten Cop and upgraded his ultimate villain to the ultimate hero in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Great action movies all of them, but he had the most fun as the Last Action Hero.

Reteaming with Predator director John McTiernan, Schwarzenegger took a swing at parody by poking fun at the action movie tropes he had helped establish in the 80s. Last Action Hero features the Austrian Oak playing himself as fictional movie cop Jack Slater, who gets teamed up with a kid sidekick when he’s magically transported into the movie world. Last Action Hero isn’t as sharp of a satire as it should be, and its PG-13 rating didn’t appeal to many viewers who had grown up with Schwarzenegger’s R-rated filmography. The movie bombed hard at the box office, and Schwarzenegger would return to strictly adult fare with his subsequent action movies. Over time, Last Action Hero has gained a cult following for its self-aware approach, and it still stands out in Schwarzenegger’s career.

‘Demolition Man’ (1993)

The same year Schwarzenegger was trying on satire, so was his biggest action movie rival, Sylvester Stallone. The Italian Stallion’s film, Demolition Man, was a much bigger success, likely because it kept the R-rating and instead of taking aim at action movies, it set its sights on political correctness. The film’s depiction of an overly sanitized “utopian” future, where all language is policed and the police themselves have all become non-violent, is certainly a mixed bag when it comes to its prescience. Some bits are very incisive, while others look downright comical in comparison to the reality of 2026. The movie isn’t meant to be taken seriously, though, and it’s really just a big, fun action comedy that’s got just a little bit more on its mind than the average Stallone movie.

Stallone plays 90s cop John Spartan, known for his destructive methods, who is blamed for the deaths of hostages while apprehending the violent criminal Simon Phoenix, played by Wesley Snipes, and sent to a cryogenic prison. After Phoenix is woken up in the future, where he shocks the overly polite society with his penchants for ultra-violence, Spartan is unfrozen to take him down. Demolition Man is filled with fun gags, from Taco Bell being the only remaining restaurant chain to the three seashells (if you know, you know), and Stallone and Snipes are having a ton of fun in their roles. Of all Stallone’s action movies, Demolition Man still ranks highly, and it’s a blast to the future.

‘Face/Off’ (1997)

John Woo made a major impact on Hollywood action movies in the 90s. The influence of his stylish gun-fu action was apparent in films throughout the decade, while Woo himself made his entrance into the studio system. After bidding farewell to his Heroic Bloodshed genre with Hard Boiled, he teamed up with Jean Claud Van Damme for his American debut Hard Target. That movie is a lot of slick, silly fun, moreso than Woo’s follow-up Broken Arrow, which saw him collaborate with John Travolta for the first time. Those two would team up once again for Woo’s best American action movie, Face/Off. In addition to Travolta, the film brought on Nicolas Cage, who himself was having a lot of fun with action in the 90s with movies like The Rock and Con Air.

The beauty of the convoluted set-up of Face/Off, where Travolta plays an FBI agent who swaps faces with Cage’s terrorist in order to impersonate him, is that it allows both actors to compete in a contest of who can go more over-the-top. There isn’t a piece of scenery that is unchewed by the end of it, and Woo complements the performances with his slow-motion action stylings, complete with white doves. Face/Off is an outrageous action movie in everything from its premise to its acting to its gunfights. Cage and Travolta are dialed in, and Woo’s sincere approach to the dramatic material makes it all the more ridiculous and fun.

‘The Mummy’ (1999)

Image via Universal Pictures

With a good dose of old-fashioned adventure, Stephen Sommers turned the Universal Monster horror classic The Mummy into an Indiana Jones-style supernatural action movie. The genre switch-up worked, and the movie was a massive blockbuster, spawning several sequels and spin-offs. The film’s success is due to its light tone, which is handled superbly by its perfect cast, and Sommers relative restraint in using CGI, which would swallow up all the action movies he would make after it. Of all the movies inspired by Indiana Jones, The Mummy is often ranked as the best, and it nails the vibes, humor and memorable set pieces.

Brendan Fraser is his own kind of action hero, distinct from Harrison Ford’s fedora-wearing archaeologist. Rick O’Connell is a bit of a himbo, but he’s got charm to spare, which he used on the equally disarming Evelyn, played by Rachel Weisz. Their chemistry is as hot as the Sahara Desert, where they unwittingly unleash the vengeful mummy Imhotep, played by Arnold Vosloo. The plot is as full of holes as Imhotep’s desiccated corpse, but this is not a movie designed for deep thoughts. It’s two-fisted pulp fun with a side of haunted house (or pyramid) frights. The Mummy is fun, funny, charming and the only time Hollywood successfully packed action into the classic movie monster template.

‘The Last Boy Scout’ (1991)

Tango & Cash is often considered the last true 80s action movie, but it’s only representative of the roided-out muscle mass slaughter fests. There was another brand of action that was prevalent in the 80s, personified by bantering buddies and often featuring a heavy noir influence. 48 Hrs., Lethal Weapon, Running Scared, and Midnight Run were this brand’s best. The buddy action movie would continue well through the 90s, and the perfect pivot point between that decade and the 80s is hinged on The Last Boy Scout. Starring Bruce Willis, directed by Tony Scott, produced by Joel Silver and written by Shane Black, the movie is a murderer’s row of 80s and 90s action power players, and it lives up to that pedigree.

Willis plays a Shane Black special, a washed-up private detective. He teams up with a washed-up NFL player, played by Damon Wayans, to find out why a woman they both knew was killed and uncover a sports world conspiracy in the process. Willis was in the middle of his action run, and he’s never been more delightfully disheveled than in this role. Scott’s directorial style, which he honed in the 80s on Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop II, basically defined the 90s action aesthetic, and Black’s script is his most arch of the era. The clashing egos of these action titans apparently made the film’s production a nightmare, but the result is a sleazy, indulgent, ridiculous action ride.

‘Police Story 3: Supercop’ (1992)

Jackie Chan finally broke into Hollywood in the 90s, after several false starts in the prior decade. He found success in North America with films like Rumble in the Bronx and Rush Hour, but his most fun film of the decade was the action comedy threequel Police Story 3: Supercop. Chan teamed up with Michelle Yeoh for the third installment, which only doubled the amount of incredible stunts and fight sequences. The film was an international success, and remains one of Chan’s best. Supercop is supersized entertainment that could only have come from a unique action star like Chan.

Returning to his role of Inspector Ka-Kui, Chan joins forces with Yeoh as an Interpol agent to take down a dangerous drug smuggler. That plot provides more than enoguh of a framework to build some spectacular action scenes around. Chan dangles from helicopter while Yeoh jumps a motorcycle on to a moving train. It’s the kind of action that puts Hollywood stars to shame, with martial artists putting their bodies on the line for the sake of entertainment. Thankfully, they both survived, and the movie is fast-paced fun.

2

‘Speed’ (1994)

Keanu Reeves would become a bona fide action star in the 90s thanks to three seminal films. He began the decade with Kathryn Bigelow’s wild surfer heist thriller Point Break, and he would end it with the kung fu cyberpunk sci-fi classic The Matrix. In between those two, he would make what is often the best movie to be inspired by Die Hard. Speed combines the propulsive thrills of Runaway Train with the hero-villain antagonism of the Bruce Willis classic. It’s Reeves’ most normal action hero he ever played, but he still has lots to play off of with an incredible supporting cast that includes Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper and Jeff Daniels.

Reeves plays bomb disposal expert Jack Traven, who outwits a mad bomber, played by Hopper, in the film’s intense opening sequence on an elevator. That causes the madman to take revenge by planting a bomb on a city bus that will explode if it drops below 50 mph. That perfect premise gives the movie a relentless pace that director Jan de Bont, who was the cinematographer on Die Hard, never lets wane. Speed was a massive success that solidified Reeves as an action star and led to a ridiculous sequel set on a cruise ship, but most of all it is perfect 90s action popcorn entertainment.

‘Men in Black’ (1997)

Image via Sony Pictures Releasing

Despite being a huge blockbuster that spawned an entire franchise, the action sci-fi comedy Men in Black still seems slightly underrated. It’s never given its full due in retrospectives covering any of the three genres it occupies, but it succeeds in all of them. The movie elevates the buddy cop formula to an intergalactic level, with director Barry Sonnenfeld adapting the Malibu Comics series with his energetic visual style. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones make for an unexpectedly perfect duo, the supporting cast is stellar, and the film is filled with a solid mix of digital and practical effects. It’s everything you could possibly want out of a crowdpleasing action blockbuster.

Smith gets to play the wisecracking rookie to Jones’ salty veteran, as the newest recruit into the alien policing Men in Black. They’re faced with a big, bad buggy threat that wears the skin of a farmer, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, who gives an Oscar-worthy performance. Add in Linda Fiorentino and a talking pug, and it’s impossible not to watch Men in Black without cracking a wide smile. Its combination of genres makes it stand out against its action contemporaries; the script by Ed Solomon is far more clever than it has any right to be; and the alien designs by Rick Baker are fun and unique. Men in Black is the ideal blockbuster, but somehow it hasn’t become the standard for Hollywood to follow.

For more than two decades, Bobby Ross Avila has helped to shape the sound of Usher’s biggest moments. What started out from Usher’s “Confessions” era has taken them to the Super Bowl stage, and now to one of the most ambitious R&B stadium tours with Chris Brown.

As the musical director, producer, and multi-instrumentalist helps to transform Usher’s catalog into a three-hour stage spectacular, Avila is doing it all, from arranging songs to crafting transitions, and helping two global superstars share one stage without either of them losing what makes each unique. Unlike much of the creative team working behind the scenes, Avila can also be found in the spotlight performing nightly with Usher’s band, as well as also stepping out for his own solo moment. 

Bobby Ross Avila sat down with The Blast for an exclusive chat ahead of Usher and Chris Brown’s tour stop in Las Vegas. He shared what people can expect from the show, how he got started in the music industry, and what’s next after the tour ends. 

3

Avila began his musical journey at a very young age. He told The Blast that he “didn’t find music, music kind of found me.” 

“I started playing when I was 3 years old and I still remember where I was at and what I was doing. Gradually, throughout the years, getting older, my dad had bands and he was kind of like in the top 40 club circuit, so it’s kind of like how DJs are now,” he said.

“I was surrounded by musicians. My dad would take me and my brother to the clubs he would be playing at and we’d play on their downtime when they ended a set, so that kind of got us used to playing and being in front of people, and that just gradually led to me diving into writing and learning. I was just so intrigued.” 

Getting Signed To A Record Deal At Age 12

Eventually, his father decided it was time to stop doing the club circuit and put all his energy into helping Avila build his talent more. 

“He kind of vicariously lived through me and I just found myself in the studio,” he told The Blast. “Next thing you know, I’m singing and have a demo, and then there’s a bidding war between RCA and Motown Records. I signed with RCA Records at 12 years old.” 

From that point, Avila went on to be the opening act for New Kids on the Block’s “Hangin’ Tough” tour. That’s when the journey really kicked into high gear. 

From Working With Usher On ‘Confessions’ To Producing The R&B Tour

When Avila started working with Usher, he didn’t likely realize just what a long collaboration journey this would take him on. He said the music industry constantly makes you “reinvent yourself,” so he went from being an artist to working behind the scenes so he could ensure his career would be a long one. 

“That led me to getting on this journey as a producer, songwriter, learning the game from marketing, and all that kind of stuff,” Avila told The Blast. “I started working with Ice-T, producing him, and worked with Spice 1, Luniz, and Black Moon.”

At that point in his career, he and his brother, IZ Avila, ended up joining forces as the production duo, The Avila Brothers. That led them to partnering with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. The two brothers went on quite the journey, working with some big names, including Usher. 

“We got this call, ‘Hey, Usher’s going to be coming down,’ and so we met with him,” he said. “The rest is history. We ended up writing and producing about six songs together on ‘Confessions’ and that started our journey together.”

Avila got the opportunity to be with Usher during his Caesars Palace residency in Vegas in 2021, which ultimately led him to the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

What Fans Can Expect From Usher & Chris Brown’s Tour

3

For fans heading to the Usher and Chris Brown show either in Las Vegas this weekend or another city later in the tour, Avila said be ready for a “unique” experience. 

“Terry Lewis said it best to me. It’s once in a lifetime. When the show is over that night, it’s never going to be the same. And I just think the energy and the camaraderie between fans and the music, and the visual experience is so unique,” he shared. “You don’t realize that you’re either standing or sitting or getting drinks for three-and-a-half hours and it feels like it’s not long enough. That’s how great the show is.”

What’s Next For Bobby Ross Avila?

When asked what’s next after Usher and Chris Brown’s tour ends, Avila said he’s “looking forward to seeing where music’s going to take me, what God has for me.” 

He also has an album coming out called “Return of the Gentleman.” 

“The first single is called ‘Lucky Fella,’ and for me, being in this position where I an be an artist, I can also be a producer and a creative, it allows me to be expressive in so many different ways,” he said. “And I think the single says it best. I’m a lucky fella, and I just feel really blessed.”

Nicole Kidman seems to be moving on to a romantic new chapter in her personal life almost a year after her marriage to Keith Urban.

The Oscar-winning actress is apparently spending most of her time in the company of a potential lover, Michael Reinstein. The businessman and actress first sparked dating rumors after they were spotted together in Italy.

While Reinstein might be a potential love interest, sources revealed that Nicole Kidman is taking her time with this important decision.

5

Kidman reportedly entering the dating scene months after her marriage ended might be termed overdue. However, the actress is apparently not diving right into anything serious.

A source explained to Us Weekly that the “Spellbound” actress is dating Reinstein, but is keeping the seriousness of the relationship at bay. “It is casual, and she is having fun,” the insider mentioned.

The source’s description suggests that Kidman and Reinstein are simply enjoying each other’s company and not trying to complicate anything between them for now. It also suggests that the duo is not ready to define their relationship or show any exclusivity.

Additionally, the actress is allegedly not keeping all her eggs in one basket. According to the insider, Kidman has also been going on several dates with other people.

For now, neither Kidman nor Reinstein has come out to debunk these speculations.

Nicole Kidman And Michael Reinstein Were Allegedly Introduced By Mutual Friends

5

While Kidman and Reinstein are popular figures in their respective industries, they reportedly met through a unique and controlled way.

A source disclosed to the Daily Mail that the duo was introduced by their mutual friends. Apparently, the actress’s friends arranged this meeting as part of her return to the dating world as a single woman.

Some of these friends may include Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon, who have reportedly played a key role in encouraging the actress to meet new people.

Kidman worked alongside Witherspoon on “Big Little Lies” and recently reunited with Bullock for “Practical Magic 2.”

According to the source, filming the long-awaited sequel with Bullock gave Kidman a sense of stability while other parts of her life were changing.

The Pair First Fueled Romance Rumors During An Italian Getaway

5

Kidman and Reinstein first sparked romance rumors after Page Six acquired pictures of them standing outside a hotel in Portofino, Italy.

In the photos, the duo looked relaxed and friendly with each other. Although the images were not concrete proof of an ongoing relationship, they were still enough to make dating rumors spread like wildfire on the internet.

Reinstein fueled these rumors again when she was spotted getting Kidman from Hollywood Burbank Airport in his Ferrari after she returned to California from New York. This second sighting was all the proof fans needed to conclude that the pair were romantic interests.

Their outings nevertheless represent one of Kidman’s most closely watched personal connections since she and Urban called it quits.

The Actress’s New Man Michael Reinstein Is A Powerful Private Equity Executive

Reinstein might not be an A-list actor, but he is an influential figure in the business world.

He began a Beverly Hills-based investment company known as Regent in 2013, which has gone on to become a successful business.

According to his corporate biography, Reinstein has also overseen more than 45 acquisitions, including the media, automotive, technology, consumer, and luxury sectors.

Regent’s portfolio also includes recognizable fashion brands such as Bally, Escada, Club Monaco, and La Senza. Before forming Regent, Reinstein was reportedly a worker at talent agency ICM Partners and helped to establish the USN Television network.

Despite his prominent business career, Reinstein maintained a considerably lower public profile than Kidman before they were photographed together.

Nicole Kidman And Keith Urban Are In A ‘Much Better Place’

5

Kidman’s alleged return to the dating scene comes almost a year after her relationship with her ex-husband, Urban, has reportedly become less problematic.

An insider told Us Weekly that “the dust has settled” between the exes and they are seemingly in a “much better place.”

Despite the problems that arose towards the end of their marriage, the pair is reportedly good with each other now.

Kidman and Urban first separated in September 2025 after almost two decades together. They also share two daughters, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban and Faith Margaret Kidman Urban.

Inde Navarrette is continuing her rapid rise in Hollywood, signing on to both star in and executive produce Apple Original Films’ upcoming sci-fi thriller The Waffle House Index.

Apple has acquired the project, which will come from Apple Studios with Plan B Entertainment producing. Louis Paxtonis set to direct from a screenplay written by Andrew Nunnelly.

For Navarrette, the project represents another major step forward following the massive success of Obsession, while also giving the actress a significant role behind the camera as an executive producer.

A Waffle House, Killer Crocodiles and Aliens

Despite its unusual title, The Waffle House Index appears ready to take audiences on an even stranger ride than its name suggests.

The film centers on a Waffle House waitress whose already difficult night takes a dangerous turn when an armed stranger arrives during her shift.

From there, things escalate dramatically.

Inde Navarrette for Schön!

The story reportedly involves a massive flood, killer crocodiles, a nuclear explosion, a mysterious bunker beneath the Waffle House and even aliens, combining elements of disaster movies, survival thrillers and science fiction into one ambitious story.

The title itself is inspired by the real-world “Waffle House Index,” an informal method of measuring the severity of a natural disaster based on whether local Waffle House restaurants are able to remain operational.

The concept generally uses three levels. Green indicates a restaurant is operating normally, yellow signals limited service or supplies, while red means the restaurant has closed entirely and conditions in the surrounding area could be severe.

That real-world concept appears to serve as the jumping-off point for a movie that quickly ventures into much bigger sci-fi territory.

Navarrette’s Breakout Run Continues

The Waffle House Index arrives as Navarrette continues what has become a breakout period in her career.

She currently stars as Nikki Freeman in Obsession, the horror thriller that became a major theatrical success after earning strong attention following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Navarrette’s performance has also generated awards attention, with Focus Features reportedly preparing a Best Actress Oscar campaign for the actress.

Her career is expanding well beyond Obsession.

Navarrette has also landed the role of Rogue in Marvel’s upcoming X-Men film and is attached to the upcoming horror project Invertigo.

Before her recent run of major film roles, Navarrette appeared as Estela de la Cruz in 13 Reasons Why and played Sarah Cushing on Superman & Lois. Her other credits include Trap House and Wander Darkly.

Now, The Waffle House Index gives Navarrette the opportunity to take another major step in her career by serving as both the film’s leading star and an executive producer.

Apple has not yet announced a release date for The Waffle House Index.

Big Brother week 9 Head of Household results are in after LaTrice “Lala” Verrett‘s eviction after Rick Devens‘s stunning Blockbuster win. Dee, Angela and Devens don’t think they should face the block under the new HOH, but he’s gonna stun them.

Also, there were clips of the Nashville watch party with Rachel Reilly with Cameron Hardin and between them were Jimmy Heagarty and BB28‘s Mallory Aurichio. They were watching the BB Blockbuster and Jimmy and Mallory were screaming for Taylor Brown.

They thought she was going to win it and then Devens sank that fourth ball. Rachel and the room screamed and cheered for Devens. But Mallory and Jimmy looked totally ticked. The only angry faces in a crowd of cheering people.

Big Brother: Melody’s Causing Mayhem

Right after the eviction, Melody Morris started some stuff. She and Angela Murray voted to evict Taylor. And Angela was honest about her vote. But Melody was not. I guess after losing Mallory and dealing with Drew drama, Melody chose chaos.

She’s actively lying and said she voted to evict Lala. Everyone believes her so now they’re turning on each other. Devens asked Dee Valladares twice if she voted to evict Taylor and she blew up. Dee’s so mad she told Angela she’ll nominate Devens and Drew Campbell if she wins HOH.

Others think that Dee threw that vote on Taylor. And Yash Patel is also a top suspect. But Melody’s in the clear and just basking in the chaos. Also, Drew tried to sneak a kiss on Melody in the kitchen but she dodged.

Big Brother 28: Barrett Takes HOH

Now, let’s talk Head of Household. First, Angela asked them to throw the comp to her so she can see photos of her grandkids. Devens was unsympathetic. And it looks like Devens came in second in the comp.

But that’s likely because Yash threw it in a big way, not even subtle. There were balls rolled of various colors – and Yash was flinging. The important thing is that Barrett Pfeiffer won it. And he gets to celebrate his birthday in the HOH room. He’ll turn 28 on Sept 9th wearing the HOH robe and key.

Big Brother: Who’s Safe?

By the way, the new HOH calls himself Spicy Barrett on his reality TV podcast. And here’s hoping for a spicy HOH. Melody and Dee are Have-Nots and people are ticked that Yash is not because it was his turn and he should’ve volunteered. But he didn’t.

And by the way, Drew’s still walking around eating his bananas the weird slimy-hand way even though he’s been taught better by now. Okay now the nomination plans.

After winning the HOH comp, Barrett celebrated with Devens and Drew with both feeling totally safe. Once it was just Barrett and Drew, he confirmed that Melody and Drew are safe this week but Barrett warned him what he does might “make him uncomfortable”.

And Barrett realized that he’s got to put all three up – Devens, Dee and Angela – even though he’d like to just nominate two of them alongside Yash. Barrett said he’s okay with a vet or Yash going.

Barrett knows if he doesn’t put up all three, the icon not on the block could win Power of Veto, take down a vet and they’d both be safe. Then, Barrett would have to renom someone he’s closer to.

And if the vet on the block wins Blockbuster, then his HOH is pointless. Dee said if Barrett tries to pull a fast one she’ll spill tea. Then she did anyway. Dee decided to tell Barrett about her bribe.

Big Brother 28: Is a Win Deserved?

It’s a strategy, but not sure Dee revealing she bought safety for her and the icons from Yash will help her. Because, that bribe hurt Barrett’s game. It kept Yash off the block on Dee’s HOH and she put Mallory up instead and Barrett’s bestie was evicted.

Basically, what we have is Dee, Devens and Angela thinking they shouldn’t even be options for the block. It’s icon entitlement. But that won’t keep them safe.

Alix Earle has finally said something about her speculated romance with NFL star Tom Brady. 

Earle offered a coy response when pressed about her post-breakup dating life following her split from football player Braxton Berrios. This gave fans a peek into what has been going on behind the scenes in the influencer’s love life. 

Earle and Brady sparked dating rumors after being seen together on multiple occasions; however, neither of them has come forward to clarify the nature of their relationship until now. 

5

During an episode of her Netflix reality series “Earle Meets World,” which premiered on Friday, September 4, Earle publicly acknowledged her rumored romance with 49-year-old NFL legend  Brady. 

The moment unfolded during tour rehearsals with her former “Dancing with the Stars” partner Val Chmerkovskiy, when his wife, fellow professional dancer Jenna Johnson, dropped into the studio.

Johnson inquired about Earle’s high-profile personal life following her high-profile breakup with NFL player Braxton Berrios by directly asking what’s going on.

Earle remained coy while maintaining a broad smile. “I don’t know what’s going on… I’m having fun,” she said, as reported by PEOPLE Magazine. 

When Johnson pressed further to ask if the relationship was officially confirmed, the 25-year-old influencer simply shrugged and repeated, “No, I’m just having fun.”

Johnson teased Earle about moving on quickly after her split, lightheartedly mimicking a phone call and joking, “Then you were like, ‘Tom, come over, cutie,’” prompting a laugh from Earle as she brushed off the playfully subtle probe.

Though Earle stopped short of defining the relationship, her lighthearted interactions provided the first public peek into her rumored connection with the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

Before Earle publicly addressed the situation on screen, rumors had been swirling for months following a series of high-profile joint appearances.

Speculation regarding a potential romance between the pair first erupted early in the year after video surfaced showing Earle and Brady partying together in St. Barts over New Year’s Eve. 

The clip, which went viral across social media, depicted the social media star and the former NFL quarterback dancing and chatting closely during a late-night celebration. At the time, sources also claimed that the two were “hooking up.”

The rumor mill picked up further momentum during Super Bowl weekend in February, when the duo was once again seen mingling and laughing together at an exclusive pre-game party.

The Blast reported that throughout the evening, onlookers noted the pair shared warm smiles with drinks in hand.

Adding fuel to the rumors regarding her connection to Brady, Earle offered additional context into her preference while discussing relationships and boundaries.

During an episode of her “Get Real With Me” YouTube series, Earle candidly explained why she actively avoids dating men close to her own age. 

She reflected on a recent outing with a partner who was just one year older and admitted that the dynamic failed to meet her expectations. She then stressed that she needed a partner who could take charge and offer maturity.

“I went on a date with a guy who was a year older than me. I can’t do it again…,” she said, per The Blast.

According to The Blast, the 25-year-old content creator generated fresh headlines after spending a late evening with 26-year-old Formula 1 driver Lando Norris. 

Onlookers spotted the pair at a private club in London, where they reportedly stayed into the early hours of the morning. Witnesses also noted that the duo spent much of the night talking, with Norris allegedly asking venue management to keep the doors open past closing time to extend their evening together.

The pair also reportedly made separate exits from the establishment in an effort to avoid camera crews and waiting photographers.

She agreed that while some moments were difficult to film, they definitely brought her family closer together. Ultimately, Earle explained that pushing through those emotional hurdles allowed her to maintain the raw authenticity that first built her audience.

Peter rose to fame on Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette, ending in third place. He subsequently served as the next lead of The Bachelorette. While Peter proposed to Hannah Ann Sluss, they called off their engagement weeks later over the pilot’s lingering feelings for finalist Madi Prewett.

Peter was later romantically linked to Kelley Flanagan, Julie LaPlaca and Brook Sill before meeting Jadeyn.

“I was in New York for the last four years, and [Kelley] and I had gone back on-and-off a little bit during that time, but [the] majority of it was all single,” Peter previously said on a 2025 episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast. “I always wanted a relationship. It’s no secret, obviously, but you know, I was never going to be someone to force anything.”

Peter had relocated to his native California earlier that year before he was introduced to Jadeyn, who is also based on the West Coast.

Labor Day weekend shouldn’t be laborious, which is why it’s the perfect time to kick back, relax and watch a good movie or two.

You don’t even have to bother deciding which films to watch — that’s What to Watch’s job.

We’ve selected three great new Prime Video movies to stream over the long Labor Day weekend.

From a Charlize Theron action film and a ‘70s horror classic featuring John Travolta before he came down with a Saturday night fever, these films will make you grateful you don’t have to work on Monday.

‘Cape Fear’ (1991)

It’s safe to say that Max Cady (Robert De Niro) can nurse a grudge or two. He has a good reason, though – he was jailed for years due to his defense lawyer, Sam Bowden (Nick Nolte), hiding key evidence that could have acquitted him. That doesn’t mean Max is innocent – he’s a rapist and murderer, and now that he’s out of jail, he has only one goal: to make Sam and his family suffer as much as he did while he was locked away for all those years.

Everyone loves a good thriller. From 1960’s Psycho to 2024’s Conclave, suspense movies have been around for decades and will always find an appreciative audience. The genre has been in a bit of a slump lately, with fewer thrillers released in theaters than in its heyday in the ‘90s. That decade was arguably a high […]

Cape Fear was recently remade into a bizarrely campy, 10-episode Apple TV miniseries starring Javier Bardem as Cady, but the ‘91 version remains the gold standard. (The 1962 original starring Robert Mitchum as Max is OK but dated. It’s also streaming on Prime Video.) Director Martin Scorsese flexes every cinematic muscle he has in bringing this pulpy revenge story to life, with split-diopter shots, stylistic color choices and a bombastic score from original composer Bernard Herrmann. The result is a thriller that’s both scary and fun; like a rollercoaster ride, it keeps moving and doesn’t give you much time to breathe. The cast is excellent, with the standouts being Jessica Lange as Sam’s unhappy wife and a young Juliette Lewis as her precocious teenage daughter.

Cape Fear is streaming on Prime Video.

‘Atomic Blonde’ (2017)

Being an avid modern moviegoer means a lot of things, and one of them is watching action films where Charlize Theron kicks ass and looks great doing it. Mad Max: Fury Road is her best film in this very specific genre, but Atomic Blonde is not too far behind. The Odyssey actress stars as MI6 agent Lorraine Broughton, who travels to Cold War-era Berlin to recover a stolen list of undercover agents operating in Europe. She teams up with local spy David Percival (James McAvoy) to track down the KGB agents who took it, but can she trust David – or anyone – in a dangerous game of secrets, lies and espionage?

Look beyond Atomic Blonde’s neon-colored surface, and you’ll find there’s not much there. But when a movie looks this good, why would you want to? The film’s spy story isn’t as deep as a John Le Carré plot, but rather an excuse to stage some pretty epic fight scenes. It also gives Theron just enough of a character to make you care if she hooks up with undercover French agent Delphine (Sofia Boutella) and somehow survives by the end of the film. It’s not a great action film, but Atomic Blonde is good enough and proves once again that Theron is one of the few real stars Hollywood has left.

‘Carrie’ (1976)

The beginning of September usually means it’s time to go back to school, and no one dreads that prospect more than Carrie White (Sissy Spacek). She’s a shy teen who is picked on by the other girls, but when the school hunk, Tommy Ross (William Katt), asks her to prom, she thinks she’s finally been accepted. Carrie quickly discovers it’s all a sham — she’s the target of another cruel prank that emphasizes just how different she is from all the other students. But what her tormentors don’t know is that they’re right — Carrie is different, and when she gets mad, no one is safe from her wrath.

Say goodbye to summer because September is here! Prime Video is celebrating the advent of sweater weather by adding a slew of must-watch new movies and TV shows this month. The big debuts this month are Neagley, the Reacher spinoff featuring Maria Sten‘s fan-favorite character, the return of Thursday Night Football and the original rom-com […]

No film better captures the horrors of high school than Carrie does — and that’s before anyone actually dies! Director Brian De Palma is clearly sympathetic to his heroine’s plight, and he shoots Spacek as if she’s some angel stuck in Hell. In a way, she is — school bullies are the worst, especially when they’re played with such dumb glee by then-nobodies John Travolta and Nancy Allen. As the titular heroine, Spacek gives one of the best performances ever in the horror genre. She’s matched only by Piper Laurie as Carrie’s mother, who thinks her daughter is an evil that only she can destroy. But like most teens, Carrie isn’t evil — she’s just misunderstood, and that makes her even more dangerous.
