Being such a fan of classic spaghetti Westerns, it was only a matter of time before Quentin Tarantino crafted his own take on the genre, filtered through his own indelible vision. After reshaping the public’s interpretation of crime, kung-fu/samurai, and man-on-a-mission films, Tarantino made the quintessential Western for the modern era with Django Unchained, his homage to the films of Sergio Leone and Sergio Corbucci, with the latter’s Django providing the namesake of his 2012 movie. Released during the holiday season, Django Unchained, starring Jamie Foxx as the titular freed slave-turned-bounty hunter out for revenge against his former captors, was a cultural phenomenon, grossing $425 million worldwide and sparking hot-button discourse over its transgressive content. Now one of the most popular films available to stream for free on Pluto TV, Django Unchained is as striking and rip-roaring as ever, and with Tarantino claiming that he’ll only direct one more feature film, it’s a great time to revisit some of his strongest work.

‘Django Unchained’ is a Revisionist Take on the Antebellum South

As he previously did with Inglourious Basterds‘ revisionist take on World War II, Tarantino imagined an alternate world where a slave could be emancipated and empowered to fight back against the racist white plantation owners in the Antebellum U.S. South. The film reimagines this horrific chapter in U.S. history through a modern lens, with Django’s swaggering attitude, autonomy, and status in a pre-abolition America being knowingly anachronistic, along with much of the film’s music cues, costumes, and language. Django could be read as either a long-awaited spotlight for Black characters, who are notoriously sidelined in Hollywood Westerns, or a fetishized, sanitized retelling of African-American history by a white director.

Filling out Tarantino’s guns-blazing American-made spaghetti Western (the film is far more indebted to the dark and stylish Westerns of Leone than the elegiac cinematic poems of John Ford) is Christoph Waltz, winning his second of two Oscars for Tarantino as bounty hunter and Django emancipator Dr. King Schultz, as well as Kerry Washington as Hildi, Django’s enslaved wife and target of his rescue mission, and Leonardo DiCaprio as the heinous plantation owner and captor of Hildi, Calvin Candie. DiCaprio, in particular, is a true stand-out in Django Unchained, as he gives perhaps the most vicious and daring performance by a modern A-list movie star. Frequent Tarantino stock player Samuel L. Jackson is also at his best as Stephen, Candie’s head house slave and personal confidant.

With its bold formalist and thematic flourishes, Django Unchained is Tarantino’s most stylized and self-reflective film. He is so commanding of his own auteurial stamp that he doesn’t care what he borrows or repurposes from other movies, including reusing the main theme from Corbucci’s Django. Darkly funny, ultraviolent, formally audacious, and provocative, Django Unchained represents Tarantino in a nutshell.

‘Django Unchained’ Tackles Controversial Subjects

With every release of a Quentin Tarantino film comes controversy, and Django Unchained unsurprisingly inspired the most uproar the writer-director has ever seen in his career. Tarantino’s history with racial epithets and appropriation of Black culture has been considered an issue by countless viewers for decades. And for many, making a movie about Black slavery in the U.S. with his same vulgar and heightened sensibilities was the last straw. Django is filled with invigorating gunfire sequences and applause-worthy line readings by its titular star, and this theatrical, comic book-esque presentation of slavery is understandably tasteless for some viewers.

This also applies to his approach to dealing with the horrific racist acts depicted in the film. While colloquial uses of racial epiphets and racial hate crimes were undoubtedly part of this historical period, Tarantino expresses these ugly acts with the same pulpy aesthetic he used in Kill Bill. With his notorious precedent of writing white characters who use racial slurs gratuitously, it’s easy to question his intent with some of the film’s content, even in a film reflecting America’s history.

No matter where you stand in the debate, Django Unchained‘s thorny commentary is a worthy supplement to a seismic film by one of the world’s greatest living directors. Westerns are hard to come by these days, and the long-tailed legacy of Quentin Tarantino’s postmodern take on The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly hits all the marks that would appeal to audiences in the 2020s, making any other Western in its wake feel like a copycat. Featuring impeccable performances by its stacked cast and lavish visual and production design, Django Unchained has the passion and wunderkind enthusiasm of a debut filmmaker obsessed with cinema, executed by a master of the trade.

There’s a very specific fashion dilemma that happens this time every year: The calendar says it’s time for sweaters and boots, but the weather is still very much in its summer era. If you’ve ever walked outside on a chilly morning in a sweater, only to regret your outfit choice by noon, you know the struggle. The trick to dressing for the season without sweating through it? Reach for lightweight, breathable staples that give your wardrobe that fall feeling without all the extra layers.

Athleticwear happens to be especially well suited for the job. Think leggings you can pair with an oversized sweatshirt, lightweight tops that work for workouts and weekend errands and easy layers you can throw on when temperatures dip. These versatile pieces make it possible to ease into your fall wardrobe without committing to a head-to-toe sweater-and-boots situation — because, frankly, it’s not always cold enough for that yet. They’re also super versatile for every fall trip on your calendar, too.

Polished Athletic Clothing for Summer-To-Fall Dressing

1. Travel-Ready Joggers: These high-rise joggers are made for those days when your outfit needs to do a little bit of everything. They have a comfy relaxed fit and pull-on waistband, and are made with water-repellent fabric for protection from unpredictable fall weather. Front pockets make them a travel-day staple, too.

2. The Polished Layer: Consider this full-zip jacket your answer to weather that starts crisp and warms up quickly. The lightweight modal fabric feels luxuriously soft against the skin and has four-way stretch, so it’s easy to move in. It looks sleek but still has discreet side zip pockets to keep your essentials close.

3. Cropped & Cozy: A cropped sweatshirt is an easy way to bring a little fall energy to your wardrobe without piling on too much fabric. This smooth, sleek crewneck has four-way stretch and moisture-managing properties to help keep you cool and dry, making it a smart pick for those not-quite-sweater-weather days. The classic design also looks cute with high-rise leggings, joggers or jeans.

4. Roomy & Relaxed: These straight-leg sweatpants have the laid-back look we always crave in fall outfits, along with performance features that make them even more practical. Soft, breathable and fade-resistant . . . the list goes on. And those deep pockets? They can hold up to three tennis balls or two pickleballs, so consider your hands officially freed.

5. Wide-Leg Ease: Wide-leg pants are having a major fashion moment, and this pull-on pair has a high-rise, full-length silhouette with a relaxed-but-polished feel. A soft elastic waistband and four-way stretch keep them comfy all day, and the water-repellent fabric gives you a little extra protection when fall weather decides to be unpredictable.

6. The Everyday Hoodie: Meet the hoodie you’ll want within arm’s reach all season long. The shorter, relaxed-fit style hits at the top of your hip for an easy, modern silhouette. Side pockets provide everyday storage — and the interior modular pocket keeps your phone secure without all the annoying bouncing while you’re on the go.

7. Sporty Half-Zip: A quarter-zip pullover is one of the easiest ways to ease into fall dressing, and this one comes with ergonomic panels for easy movement, built-in thumbholes to keep your sleeves in place and an adjustable waist cord so you can customize the fit. The high-coverage neckline is especially nice for those crisp mornings when summer suddenly feels very far away.

8. The Layering MVP: Tank tops have their place in a fall wardrobe, too. This fitted style is made from supportive fabric with plenty of stretch and a smooth, second-skin feel — it works beautifully under fall layers. Slip it beneath a cardigan or blazer for an easy transitional outfit, wear it on its own when temperatures climb or you’re heading out for a run. Bonus: Moisture-wicking and antimicrobial properties make it just as practical for workouts.

9. Sporty Dress-Up: This sleeveless polo dress sits just between athletic and polished, making it a particularly versatile choice for transitional weather. It has plenty of stretch, but looks put-together with a V-shaped collar and sleek silhouette. Wear it solo on warmer days, then add a cardigan or lightweight jacket when the temperature drops.

10. The Skort Solution: This feminine skort makes a convincing case for keeping your summer favorites in the rotation a little longer. Pair it with a fitted tank for a sporty look now, then add a cozy sweater when you’re ready to lean more heavily into fall. Designed for movement, it features built-in shorts with a phone- and ball-friendly side pocket, plus an additional discreet mesh pocket at the waistband.

11. Chilly-Morning Layer: When a tank top feels like too little but a sweatshirt feels like too much, reach for this hooded long-sleeve layer. Its performance fabric is designed to help regulate temperature, and a curved hem allows for easy movement. Thumbholes keep the sleeves neatly in place, making it especially useful for brisk morning walks and early fall workouts.

12. Barely-There Breathability: This light-as-air tank was practically made for those deceptively warm between-season days. The ultra-breathable mesh fabric offers plenty of ventilation — and it’s also cooling, quick-drying and moisture-wicking. A flowy fit and back vent give it even more airflow, and it’s super easy to layer under a hoodie once the sun goes down.

13. The Everyday Tee: Every transitional wardrobe needs a reliable T-shirt, and this one brings a performance twist to a classic. Made from ultra-breathable mesh fabric, it’s lightweight for warm afternoons and easy to layer beneath a sweatshirt or jacket when it cools off. The relaxed fit and curved hem add a little extra movement, making this the kind of everyday tee you’ll reach for on repeat.

Ridley Scott is not only one of the most reliable filmmakers in the industry, but also one of the most versatile. Although Scott is best known for his science fiction blockbusters and epic period dramas, he’s also directed a number of old-fashioned films in genres that the industry simply doesn’t make anymore. Someone to Watch Over Me would feel like a novelty in 2026, as the same premise would be much more likely to be used for a television show than a film. Its blend of romantic drama, conspiracy mystery, and crime-adjacent suspense is surprisingly tricky to pull off, but Scott delivers a mature film for adults that is nonetheless a great work of entertainment. Someone to Watch Over Me is the type of film that would be a standout within any other director’s filmography, and it just happens to get lost within Scott’s because of how uniformly excellent his body of work is.

Set within New York City, Someone to Watch Over Me follows the NYPD detective Mike Keegan (Tom Berenger), who is hired to serve as a bodyguard for the socialite Claire Gregory (Mimi Rogers) after she is attacked by the disgruntled artist Joey Benza (Andreas Katsulas), who has been feuding with her friend Winn Hockings (Mark Moses). Keegan is an experienced detective who thinks that serving as the protector of a wealthy woman is beneath him, but he becomes more open to Claire after they spend more time with one another. The growing heat between Keegan and Claire causes an issue of a different type, as he does not want to be unfaithful to his wife Ellie (Lorraine Bracco). Someone to Watch Over Me is moody, atmospheric, and uses class and cultural differences to create a fascinating love triangle. It’s become one of Scott’s most forgotten films, but it’s held up remarkably well.

‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ Combines Romance and Noir

Scott is one of the most professional and consistent directors of the past 50 years, and Someone to Watch Over Me is simply more polished and slick than it would have been with another filmmaker behind the camera. Although Scott’s talent for worldbuilding is commonly associated with crafting science fictional environments or recreating historical battles, Someone to Watch Over Me treated New York itself as a character that pushes each of the protagonists out of their comfort zone. Claire’s apartment has a glistening opulence that stands in stark contrast to the agitated loneliness that she feels, and there is even a dark demeanor to the more heartfelt moments between Keegan and his family. Scott ensures that there is a sense of uneasiness that hangs over both Claire and Keegan, despite their significant difference, which puts them in similar positions. This is best expressed in the opening scene, which looks at their vastly different experiences at parties that are held in their honor; even though they both have cause for celebration, Keegan and Claire feel unresolved, which explains why they become attracted to one another.

Someone to Watch Over Me is smart in putting together its love triangle because the film avoids being melodramatic or saccharine in a way that would sacrifice the integrity of the writing. Although Keegan isn’t painted as being an inherently duplicitous person who would casually break his wife’s trust, it makes sense that he would share a bond with Claire when they both have cause to fear for their lives; the romance only makes the thriller aspects of the film more effective, as Keegan has more cause to offer her protection. Even though Someone to Watch Over Me was released before the “serial killer craze” dominated crime films in the late ‘80s and ‘90s, it does effectively show how terrifying a lone, unpredictable criminal can be.

‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ Is One of Ridley Scott’s Most Underrated Films

Scott is not often given enough credit for putting women at the center of his films, and Someone to Watch Over Me delicately handles its female characters without resorting to stereotypes. Claire is given defining traits beyond her wealth and status, ensuring that there aren’t any socialite cliches; similarly, Bracco is given the opportunity to give a full-formed, distinctive performance that is more than just “the wife.” That Someone to Watch Over Me is a film about a woman being stalked that isn’t sexually exploitative makes it a novelty in the ‘80s, and it’s easy to imagine that the same material would look very different with a different director at the helm. There was certainly the potential to make a trashy, nasty work of exploitation, but Someone to Watch Over Me gives viewers a reason to care about the characters that goes beyond the narrative conceit.

Someone to Watch Over Me is a great showcase for the entire cast, as Bergenger is a terrific character actor who wasn’t offered as many opportunities to play the lead as he should have been. The film also benefits from the score by Vangelis, who had obviously been a previous collaborator of Scott’s, and their music creates even more poignancy for the most emotional moments. While Someone to Watch Over Me could be seen as a more fleshed-out version of a procedural thriller, it also succeeds at taking a genre slant on romantic tropes. When looking beyond Xenomorphs and gladiatorial arenas, Scott made films with true heart that featured heartfelt explorations of the human condition.

After waiting for a month for another Taylor Sheridan series to arrive, following an explosive first season finale of Dutton Ranch, August 2026 brought with it the third season of one of the great TV producer’s best shows. Lioness Season 3, Episode 1, “The Spider and The Fly,” was one of the best episodes of the show so far, according to some, with the return of Zoe Saldaña‘s Joe McNamara setting the standard for what might just be the most unmissable season yet.

Since then, another two episodes have aired to similar success, with each scoring over 8.3/10 on IMDb and helping maintain Lioness‘ position at the top of the streaming charts. But the return of Lioness was paired with some frustrating news for Sheridan fans, with it confirmed that one of his most acclaimed shows had been delayed. Renewed for Season 3 in December 2025, Landman fans had originally expected production on Tommy Norris’ (Billy Bob Thornton) return to begin in May. However, the series will instead begin its third season production in September, likely leading to a big delay with the show’s next premiere.

Inspired by Christian Wallace‘s Texas-set podcast Boomtown, Landman is undeniably one of Sheridan’s most popular projects, with the likes of Andy Garcia, Sam Elliott, Jacob Lofland, and Colm Feore helping Thornton lead a pitch-perfect ensemble to huge acclaim in the most recent second season. Despite said second season coming to an end seven months ago, Landman is still shooting down streaming milestones. Officially, the series just crossed the 300-day mark on the Paramount+ top ten in the U.S., where it currently ranks in seventh place.

Will Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Lioness’ Return for More?

We already know that Landman is set to return for another season, but what is happening with Sheridan’s current big hit, Lioness? The series has yet to be picked up for a fourth season, with its all-star cast — including Saldaña, Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, Michael Kelly, and LaMonica Garrett — likely to prove tricky to align schedules with. However, the Quick Reaction Force team leader Bobby herself, Jill Wagner, seems confident that Lioness will roar once more, saying, “We’re going to get Lioness Season 4” in a recent interview.

Landman and Lioness are streaming on Paramount+. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of all of Sheridan’s future projects.

Elsie Hewitt and Pete Davidson’s reconciliation seems to be going well, but fans don’t eagerly approve.

The former couple, who welcomed their first child together last year, recently settled their custody squabbles following their breakup.

As they navigate this new chapter as amicable co-parents for their daughter, the comedian seems to have moved on with another mystery woman.

In a new social media post, the model detailed her attendance at Olivia Dean’s concert in a series of photos. Attached to the upload was Dean’s hit track, “Baby Steps.” 

Hewitt seemed to be having the best time, dressed in a mid-length white polka-dot halter-neck gown and low, strap-back heels.

In one frame, she sang emotionally to Dean’s song alongside a friend while confetti fell. However, it was the accompanying caption that drew fans’ attention.

 “Scottie crawled for the first time to this song. We dance to Olivia Dean every day. It’s our album,” Hewitt began, admitting the artist got her through the ups and downs of 2026.

In the post’s conclusion, the Playboy model seemingly alluded to her breakup before thanking Davidson for gifting her concert tickets. “I hope whoever fumbled her is shaking in their boots, but hey thanks for some of the inspo behind The Art of Loving, and thanks to my baby daddy for the tix,” she wrote.

Fans Attack Pete Davidson For Elsie Hewitt Breakup

While Hewitt’s post indicated no bad blood, fans weren’t quick to forgive the “Bupkis” actor for their split. 

“If we are going to talk fumbles, let’s talk Pete,” one fan commented, while another fan penned, “Baby daddy fumbled, but that’s ok because you’re going to end up with a king.”

Others, however, praised the stand-up comedian for giving his ex the chance to have a girls’ night out. “Emphasis on the baby daddy purchasing tickets,” one user noted. 

Some defended Davidson for stepping up, warning that if Hewitt were on good terms with him, fans didn’t need to be negative.

The Former Couple Reached An Agreement Over Their Daughter 

The appreciation post comes less than a month after Hewitt and Davidson were finally able to see eye to eye on parenting their daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson.

According to The Blast, after having a series of “productive conversations” behind the scenes, the former lovebirds reached “joint agreement.” Davidson and Hewitt shared in a statement their plans to continue what is best for Scottie, saying:

“We are cooperatively coparenting our daughter whose well-being remains our top priority, and we are fully committed to working together to give her love from both of us.”

Fans may recall that the pair broke up just two months after welcoming their daughter in December 2025.

As fans struggled with the news of their sudden breakup, hoping the pair would patch things up, Hewitt dropped a major bombshell. 

The model in a TikTok post made scathing allegations that she was single-handedly parenting Scottie without Davidson’s support. She made the revelation after paparazzi captured her looking rough and disheveled while running errands. Hewitt was seen pushing her daughter in a stroller. 

Addressing remarks about her appearance, the model said in the clip, “I have a baby to take care of, and I also have to work and make money, and I’m doing it on my own.”

Davidson never publicly addressed the comments, but close sources to the “Saturday Night Live” alum denied it, describing him as a “very present father” who was shouldering all the financial cost.

Pete Davidson Sparks Romance Chatter

As Davidson and Hewitt put the past behind them and move on as co-parents, the comedian has wasted no time getting back in the dating market.

Shortly after their agreement was confirmed, “The King of Staten Island” actor was spotted enjoying a cozy night out with Sarah Jane Nader in Brooklyn, New York.

As reported by The Blast, the duo looked super comfortable in each other’s company, although no visible display of affection was witnessed. It is unclear to what extent their relationship went, but the decade-long age gap between Davidson and Nader set tongues wagging.

Neither party has yet to confirm if they are an item. 

Natalie Harp has been a trusted member of President Donald Trump’s team for years and before making headlines in August 2026. 

Harp joined Trump’s campaign in 2020, going on to serve as one of his top aids just four years later.  In 2025, she was promoted to executive assistant to the President of the United States.

As Harp continued to work alongside Trump, she started gaining media attention for her various appearances. The spotlight intensified  in August 2026, after Sen. Jon Ossoff made a remark about Harp at a rally in Atlanta.

“While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, while he fruitlessly drains our munitions and oil reserves, the president sleeps through his meetings,” Ossoff told the crowd. “He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn’t want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie, on their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the emir of Qatar.”

White House communications director Steven Cheung subsequently slammed Ossoff’s remarks in a statement shared via social media.

“Instead of denigrating hard working people serving their country, Jon should look deep into his soul and ask himself why he’s a miserable person who hates this country,” Cheung wrote at the time.

Natalie Harp Was Diagnosed With Cancer

Harp was diagnosed with stage II bone cancer in the early-to-mid 2010s. Amid her health battle, she became critical of the healthcare system after standard chemotherapies failed her. She later took an experimental treatment and claimed her prognosis went from dying of cancer to living with it. 

Harp previously claimed to Fox News in 2019 that she was initially denied entry into clinical experimental trials before Trump signed his Right to Try Act in 2018. She has credited Trump for allegedly saving her life. (Experts have stated that the immunotherapy drug Harp described using was already FDA-approved and did not fall under the Right to Try Act.)

Natalie Harp Joined Trump’s Team in 2020

Hard became a member of the advisory board for his 2020 presidential campaign. Four years later, she became an aide. Harp was named Trump’s executive assistant in 2025. She reportedly has access to his Truth Social account.

Natalie Harp Is a Former TV Host

In 2020, Harp started working as a presenter on the One America News Network, a far-right channel that has infamously promoted the false claims that there was voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Harp remained with the network until 2022.

Natalie Harp Was Nicknamed the ‘Human Printer’

During Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign, Harp was given the nickname “Human Printer” because she reportedly carried a portable printer by her side. Multiple outlets have reported that Harp prints out news articles and social media posts for Trump because he allegedly prefers printed media. 

Natalie Harp Was Allegedly On the Alternate Plane With Trump Out of Turkey 

According to multiple reports, Harp was with Trump on an alternate plane out of Turkey in July 2026 amid an alleged threat from Iran. 

Important note: “If you are thinking about using an alternative method instead of standard treatment, be sure to talk to your doctor first. It can be a challenge to find trustworthy information about the safety and effectiveness of alternative treatments. Also, some of these treatments can require a lot of time and money, and they may require travel away from your family and friends,” the American Cancer Society cautions on its website. “Choosing alternative treatment instead of mainstream cancer treatments might put you at serious risk. Delays or interruptions in standard treatment can give the cancer more time to grow. Even early stage cancers can become hard to treat successfully if proven treatment is delayed long enough.”

Jen Affleck wasn’t so sure that agreeing to film The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County was great for her mental health.

“I almost wasn’t even part of the OC show just because it got so bad. I was like, ‘You know what? Maybe I need to take a step back,’” Jen, 27, exclusively told Us of her mental wellbeing at the time. “But I felt honestly within me that I needed to share this time because with season 2 — when I did go through that — I think it was the right thing at the time to exit and focus on my mental health.”

While Jen rose to fame through MomTok and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, she’s now embracing a new chapter as part of the Hulu spinoff in Orange County. The reality TV star felt this time around that it was “important” for her to show viewers “what happens and how hard it is” to experience postpartum or prenatal depression.

“I hope that anyone who’s gone through any form of depression watching the show can relate [to] me and can kind of feel seen because it was hard showing up,” she said, while promoting her Quest Nutrition partnership. “It was hard sharing and it’s also really vulnerable having to share the darkest seasons of your life. But I think in doing so, as long as it’s helping someone, that’s all I care about.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives centers around Utah’s most famous #MomTok crew — but just how many kids do they all have? When the Hulu series premiered in September 2024, it starred soft swinger Taylor Frankie Paul and her TikTok mom frenemies Demi Engemann, Mayci Neeley, Mikayla Matthews, Jen Affleck, Whitney Leavitt, Jessi Ngatikaura […]

Since Jen and husband Zac Affleck shared in June that they are expecting their fourth child, the former Dancing With the Stars contestant has been candid about experiencing prenatal depression — but said she’s “feeling way better” today. (The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, previously welcomed daughters Nora and Penny and son Lucas in 2021, 2025 and 2023, respectively.)

“Definitely seeing more of the light at the end of the tunnel now that I’m not deathly ill and sick and on bed rest,” she said. “I have always struggled, specifically the first trimester of every pregnancy. It’s interesting because I never was a person to really struggle with depression throughout my life. But when I became a mom, it was a different story. Like my body was just going through things that I just didn’t know how to navigate, and I, unfortunately, with this being the fourth pregnancy, this was the hardest pregnancy out of all of them.”

Jen shared that she’s been feeling hopeful because she knows she has “gotten through this before” and “can go through this again.”

“The only difference between this pregnancy and other pregnancies was I had a really hard time reaching out, really hard time talking about it and asking for help,” she said. “I think, especially as a mom, I think it’s hard to ask for help because you’re constantly serving your children and thinking of your children, and it’s hard to think of yourself. But I think through asking for support has been the biggest game changer, and it’s given me the strength to be able to show up for other people. I hope through sharing my story, it’s been able to help other people, or at least bring awareness.”

As Jen prepares to welcome her fourth baby, she can be found teaming up with Quest Nutrition to spotlight the brand’s protein-packed Chips, Bars and treats designed to satisfy cravings.

“I always carry [the snack bars] in my bag at all times. I will not leave the house without it, just because I have such long days, and if I don’t constantly snack or eat, I get so nauseous being pregnant,” she explained. “The snack bars have been a game changer.

Tulsa King‘s future has been revealed ahead of creator Taylor Sheridan‘s move to NBC.

Paramount+’s head of originals, Jane Wiseman, spoke with Deadline on Monday, August 17, about the show, saying, “We’re about to announce the premiere date for Tulsa King season 4, that one is coming out. It’s an incredible season. Sly [Stallone] is in great form in the show, and there’s going to be some surprises. But that show is continuing.”

Wiseman was then asked if the series could return after season 4.

“It could. Between Tulsa and Landman, which Taylor is writing right now,” she teased. “Frisco, Dutton, Madison, we have a lot of business, and we’re going to be in business for time to come.”

As the man behind Yellowstone and its myriad spinoffs, Taylor Sheridan is one of the most important people at Paramount Network — but the Yellowstone universe is only one part of his empire. While other super-producers — Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes, for example — enlist other writers and directors to work on projects bearing […]

It was previously reported by Variety reported that a writers’ room for Tulsa King season 5 is now open. Despite being largely filmed in Atlanta, the show will make the swap and relocate to New York.

The outlet claimed the decision was driven by both budgetary and storyline considerations. With New York increasing its film tax incentive program twice in the last three years, Tulsa King made the official move.

The potential shakeup comes after Tulsa King has faced some challenges behind the scenes. The Paramount+ series started with Terence Winter as the showrunner alongside Sheridan. Once Tulsa King was renewed for season 2, Winter resigned as showrunner due to creative differences but returned as the series’ head writer.

Sheridan opted not to fill the role of a showrunner for season 2 and instead hired a director and executive producer to oversee day-to-day production.

Dave Erickson went on to join the show as a showrunner for seasons 3. By season 4, Tulsa King went into production without a showrunner in place and relied on Scott Stone, who was an executive in charge of production from 101 Studios, to oversee the show day to day while Winter was back again as a writer.

Sheridan, for his part, previously closed a major with NBCUniversal. The five-year overall deal for film, TV and streaming will begin January 1, 2029, after Sheridan’s TV deal with Paramount — which goes through 2028 — officially ends.

Paramount will retain the rights to Yellowstone and the other franchises Sheridan created under his deal with the company, so he is expected to create brand-new property for NBCUniversal. Sheridan’s move came after Paramount’s merger with Skydance Media.

Christy Carlson Romano is comparing child stardom to the deadly brain disease CTE while reflecting on the death of former child star Hayden Panettiere.

“The former child actor exists in a category the world does not know how to hold. We are children when the public wants to feel protective of us, professionals when the industry wants to profit from us, and spoiled celebrities when we eventually show symptoms of having been both,” former child actor Romano, 42, wrote in an essay for Elle published on Tuesday, August 18, revealing her candid reaction to Panettiere’s untimely and shocking death at age 36.

“Early fame is like CTE,” she continued. “Not as a diagnosis. As a way of thinking about repeated impact.”

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE,  is a brain disease likely caused by repeated head injuries that kills nerve cells in the brain, according to Mayo Clinic. It is often associated with professional athletes who endured repeated concussions.

Romano’s essay comes two days after Panettiere, who launched her acting career after starring in various TV commercials at the age of 11 months, died suddenly in Greenville, South Carolina. The cause and manner of her death are the subjects of further investigation, per a statement issued by the Greenville County Coroner’s Office on Monday, August 17, though authorities responding to the scene discussed an “unresponsive female” who was experiencing “cardiac arrest” and a suspected “drug overdose.”

Detailing her CTE comparison, Romano — who rose to fame through acclaimed theater work from the age of 6 —  continued, “We now have language for youth sports: protocols, helmets, parents worried about concussions. But we have almost no language for what happens when stress, scrutiny, rejection, adult pressure, and the collapse of privacy become the architecture of a childhood.”

She further noted that child actors are treated as “lucky,” “cute,” and “talented” exceptions “whose labor powers one of the most profitable storytelling machines in the world, while their mental needs are treated as inconvenient or irrelevant.”

Romano, who has gone on to star in multiple Disney Channel projects including 2002’s Cadet Kelly opposite Hilary Duff, also argued that if child actors don’t “climb to A-list [status] fast enough, we’re torn down as if we’ve committed some unspeakable mortal sin.”

The essay also referenced Panettiere directly. “[I’m] crushed. Another performer I grew up with, gone too soon,” Romano wrote.

An autopsy into Panettiere’s death was completed and detailed by the Coroner’s Office on Monday.

“On August 16, 2026, at approximately 1:51 PM, a 911 call was received regarding a reported cardiac arrest,” its statement read. “First responders and Emergency Medical Services arrived on scene and located a female in cardiac arrest. EMS personnel initiated advanced cardiac life support measures; however, resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful, and the individual was pronounced deceased at 2:32 PM.”

The report noted that “at autopsy, no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to the death.”

According to a friend who spoke to Page Six on Monday, the Heroes alum experienced severe back pain before her death due to a paralyzing injury she sustained earlier this year.

Summer is winding down, which means one thing: it’s time to start thinking about your fall wardrobe. Before we get ahead of ourselves, it’s important to remember that this hot weather is going to hang on for a while. It’s tempting to stock up on cozy essentials, but we also need pieces that can work during both chilly mornings and steamy afternoons.

15 Under-$15 Fashion Finds at Walmart

1. Our Favorite: Track pants are having a moment, and these are a budget-friendly way to get in on the trend. With a relaxed straight-leg fit and classic design, these pants can be kept casual and simple or dressed up a bit with the right top and accessories.

3. Comfy Go-To: This pullover fleece top is cozy enough to keep you warm on a particularly chilly night or morning, but not so overwhelming that you’ll want to pull it off immediately. We love the button-down detailing that makes it feel more elevated.

4. Sporty Chic: Whether you’re headed to the tennis courts, the gym or just running errands, this stretchy skort is so cute and functional, thanks to the built-in shorts.

5. Basic Essential: For under $5, you really can’t pass up this ribbed tank top. It’s a staple you’ll wear again and again under cardigans or on its own depending on the temps.
