‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ (2021)
IMDb Rating: 8.1/10
One of the most iconic and successful installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: No Way Home brought together three different generations of Spider-Man into a singular love letter to the fans. The film follows Peter Parker dealing with the ramifications of the entire world now knowing about his identity as Spider-Man, with him being unable to separate his normal life from his superhero life. After enlisting the help of Doctor Strange in an attempt to get everyone to forget his secret identity, they unwillingly call forth villains from across the multiverse.
Even for those who weren’t enamored by the prospects of seeing every major live-action Spider-Man coming together, No Way Home still features some of the most satisfying and effective action in the entire MCU. The film finds a lot of creativity in the wide variety of styles of action, thanks to not only the many different villains that Peter faces off against, but also the small differences between each Spider-Man. It’s no wonder that the film became a massive box office phenomenon as well as the defining chapter of the MCU in the 2020s so far.
34
‘1917’ (2019)
IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
While 1917 may initially seem to be little more than yet another traditional war action film chronicling the difficulties and hardships of World War 1, it’s all in the striking cinematography and approach to storytelling that makes the film such a technical achievement. The film follows a duo of British soldiers who are tasked with delivering a message that will help put a stop to a deadly attack, saving hundreds of lives in the process. In a method to truly put audiences into the boots of its characters, the entire film is set up as a massive long shot, following each step of their journey from beginning to end.
This exceptional dedication to a massive long shot makes the action and stakes not only more impactful but also deeply impressive and captivating to watch unfold. The film frequently rises above being more than just a “gimmick film”, as it pushes the very limitations of camerawork in a war film to their limits, feeling more impressive and well-crafted with each passing scene.
33
‘Batman Begins’ (2005)
IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
While the film may be the lowest-rated of Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy, Batman Begins still massively wowed audiences when it was released and revitalized the Caped Crusader after a string of lackluster cinematic outings. The dark, gritty take on Bruce Wayne’s origins helped reintroduce one of the all-time greatest Superheroes back into the limelight of exceptional action cinema. It helped set the tone for a style of superhero action filmmaking that would massively influence the genre for over a decade.
While a chunk of the film’s massive praise comes as a result of the subsequent praise that its sequels have received, there are still a great deal of strengths that make Nolan’s first Batman film a well-crafted superhero icon. Cillian Murphy does a great job as Scarecrow, and Christian Bale does a brilliant job of balancing the stern force of Batman with the suave, unsuspecting demeanor of Bruce Wayne. The subsequent Batman masterpieces simply wouldn’t exist without the impact and exceptional filmmaking of this initial film.
32
‘Die Hard’ (1988)
IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
One of the most iconic and widely celebrated action films of the ’80s that continues to be rewatched and celebrated as a striking, high-energy masterclass of action and style, Die Hard is about as iconic as action movies get. The film has maintained its status as a classic of the genre since its release, making Bruce Willis an icon of the action genre and making John McClane one of the most recognizable action heroes.
While many other films have honed in on the specific impact and weight of a single renegade hero taking down hordes of villains thanks to their own strength and ingenuity, Die Hard is one of the absolute best at amplifying this tried-and-true action style. Its influence and impact on the genre continue to grow year after year, often celebrated as one of the most important and influential action movies ever made.
31
‘Kill Bill: Vol. 1’ (2003)
IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
The first chapter of Quentin Tarantino‘s iconic revenge story duology, Kill Bill: Vol. 1 follows a deadly assassin known as The Bride, who finds herself having been betrayed by her former employer, Bill. After miraculously surviving the encounter and fueled by vengeance, she finds herself traveling across the world to take down each of the members of Bill’s assassination circle in the ultimate display of her revenge.
Tarantino has achieved a massive reputation for his exceptional action directing for good reason, with Kill Bill: Vol. 1 arguably being the director’s finest work when it comes to satisfying and glorious violence on screen. Everything from the visual flavor to the exceptional music to the raw and unfiltered carnage on display comes together to help the film become an instant classic in the realm of action filmmaking. While each film in Quentin Tarantino’s extensive filmography has been analyzed and beloved over the years, the original Kill Bill will continuously be one of his greatest outings.
30
‘Jurassic Park’ (1993)
IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
The instantly iconic box office phenomenon that combined action, horror, family, and adventure into a masterful singular package that defined the decade, Jurassic Park is an icon of ’90s filmmaking. The film sees a group of experts who are invited to visit a massive, unbelievable island theme park experience filled to the brim with living dinosaurs brought back to life using prehistoric DNA. While the display successfully charms and delights the experts at first, when a malfunction causes the dinosaurs to escape, danger finds itself around every corner as they attempt to escape the island.
While it certainly leans into science fiction and adventure as much as it does into action, it’s difficult to deny the impact and legacy that Jurassic Park has left behind, not just on action filmmaking, but filmmaking as a whole. Its usage of special effects is still a visual marvel that holds up over 30 years later, combined with relatable and rootable characters and the simple glory of seeing realistic dinosaurs on the big screen. While the film has had a multitude of sequels and reboots over the years, none of them come close to holding a candle to Spielberg’s original masterpiece.
29
‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)
IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
One of the rare legacy sequels that managed to not only live up to the impact of the original but in some ways even surpass the original film, Top Gun: Maverick proved that in rare circumstances, lightning can strike twice. The film follows all-star pilot Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise), who continuously refuses to advance in rank so that he can continue to fly as a fighter pilot. His rule-breaking reputation ends up making him the perfect candidate in the eyes of Top Gun to return as a mentor, helping the next generation of pilots and training them for a seemingly impossible mission.
While the original Top Gun was widely beloved for its time, its legacy and impact in the modern era are mostly for its exceptional soundtrack and signature ’80s antics. Top Gun: Maverick, however, elevates and builds upon the material of the original film with a modern blockbuster budget, and gives the premise of a fighter jet action film the massive, stunt-based love letter that it truly deserves. The action sequences in the film are some of the best that modern action-blockbusters can provide, with excellent usage of real fighter jets to bring to life its simple yet undeniably impactful story.
28
‘Heat’ (1995)
IMDb Rating: 8.3/10
A masterful action crime thriller by legendary director Michael Mann, Heat was originally touted as the long-awaited film that had Al Pacino and Robert De Niro sharing the spotlight. The film follows the story of conniving thief Neil McCauley (De Niro) as he leads a top-notch crew on several masterful heists throughout Los Angeles. At the same time, the crew finds themselves in hot pursuit of Detective Vincent Hanna (Pacino), who is determined to stop McCauley by any means necessary. The two men, despite their differences and rivalry, have an unexpected respect for each other’s abilities and dedication.
While the film was already a relatively successful film upon its initial release, nearly 30 years of time and reevaluation have seen many reconsider the film as one of the best action films of all time. The way that the film balances its themes of fate, obsession, and loneliness, when combined with its massive scope and its masterful action setpieces, has made it the inspiration for many action films going forward. The film is still touted as one of Mann’s best films, as well as one of the best outings from both Pacino and De Niro.
27
‘North by Northwest’ (1959)
IMDb Rating: 8.3/10
One of the most beloved and iconic films from legendary director Alfred Hitchcock, North by Northwest follows advertising man Roger Thornhill, the furthest thing from an action hero. However, after being mistaken for a world-class spy, he is swept off his feet and forced into a wild and incredibly dangerous chase that will bring him across the entire country, battling for his life. The film blends mystery, comedy, and action to create a perfect blend and one-of-a-kind experience that would prove to be highly influential for action movies as a whole.
North by Northwest proves the creativity and magic of action movies as a whole, showing that highly exhilarating setpieces and sequences don’t have to come from a standard hero storyline. The film’s implementation of comedy was also highly effective for the era, creating a distinct style that was incredibly ahead of its time when it came to action comedy filmmaking. It goes to show just how versatile a filmmaker Hitchcock was, creating a landmark masterpiece of the action genre despite being primarily famous for thrillers and dramas.
26
‘Princess Mononoke’ (1997)
IMDb Rating: 8.3/10
One of the very few animated action movies to be highly praised by IMDb, Princess Mononoke follows the story of Ashitaka, the prince of the disappearing Emishi people. After being cursed by a demonized boar god, Ashitaka is forced to travel west in search of a cure for his impending doom. In the west, he finds himself at the center of an ecological battle, with one side featuring San, a woman raised by wolves fighting to protect the forest, and the other side featuring Lady Eboshi, the leader of a local tribe looking to destroy the forest for the sake of her growing community.
Despite the preconceived notions of an animated film, Princess Mononoke makes the most of the medium to create one of the most enthralling and exciting action movie experiences possible. While Hayao Miyazaki has certainly delved into action with his filmmaking both before and since, Princess Mononoke is the peak of his action filmmaking as a visionary. The action is genuinely top-notch, when combined with the beautiful animation style and the film’s powerful story and themes of man vs nature make for a fulfilling viewing experience.

American Idol season 24 winner Hannah Harper is expressing her gratitude after singing her way to victory.
“What a wild, beautiful journey this has been. And somehow we’re just getting started,” Harper, 25, wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 11, alongside a photo of her posing with the envelope announcing the season 24 winner on the Idol set.
Harper continued, “Thank you to every single person who believed in me, prayed over me, voted, and helped carry this dream farther than I ever could’ve imagined. Y’all changed my life.”
“I’m beyond thankful for the doors the Lord has opened and for the opportunity to walk this path,” the singer added. “I’ll see y’all on the road soon… tour dates coming your way. 🤍”
Harper concluded her post with a Bible quote, which reads, “‘For I know the plans I have for you’ — this is the Lord’s declaration — ‘plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’”
Host Ryan Seacrest announced Harper as the winner of the latest season of American Idol during Monday’s live finale on ABC. Jordan McCullough was named runner-up, while Keyla Richardson came in third place.
During Monday’s finale, Harper performed Alicia Keys’ “No One” in tribute to the Grammy winner, who served as a mentor for the finalists heading into the live show.
“Your voice sounds beautiful and tender and like a lullaby,” judge Luke Bryan said about her performance. “Your voice is like walking in the outdoors. It’s like walking through a beautiful garden. You’re a true artist.”
American Idol paved the way for reality competition shows to help everyday people achieve their dreams of music stardom. The series premiered in 2002 on Fox with a star-studded judging panel consisting of Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson. American Idol‘s freshman season introduced Kelly Clarkson, who would become the show’s first breakout star. […]
For her second performance of the night, Harper sang an original song, “Married Into This Town,” as a tribute to her hometown. The singer is a stay-at-home mom of three from Willow Springs, Missouri.
“Congratulations on songwriting, congratulations about being that authentic person,” judge Lionel Richie gushed about her original song.
Harper first wowed the judges — Bryan, Richie and Carrie Underwood — in her initial audition when she performed an original song called “String Cheese,” which she said was about her experiences with postpartum depression.
“I was sitting on my couch wallowing, and you have boys, you know. Everybody wants to touch you, and I didn’t want to be touched,” she explained the song’s inspiration, per People. “And my youngest son, I was just having a pity party, praying that the Lord would calm my spirit, and my son kept coming up to me. He said, ‘Mom, open this. Open my cheese.’ I’m like, ‘Leave me alone with the doggone cheese.’”

Harper continued, “And I finally opened his cheese, and when I did, I realized God had put me in that place, and that where I was in my house was the biggest ministry that I could ever have in being a mom. So, I gathered myself, and I got up off the couch, and I quit throwing a pity party, and I realized that was exactly what I wanted.”
“And I kind of kicked the postpartum depression in the butt, and I said, ‘I ain’t doing it,’” Harper shared.
Taylor Swift brought her whole family together for a New York City dinner date.
The “Fate of Ophelia” singer, 36, was photographed with her parents, Scott, 74, and Andrea, 68, as well as her brother, Austin, 34, in the Big Apple on Monday, May 11, per photos published by TMZ.
According to the outlet, Taylor and her family were seen entering upscale steakhouse The Eighty Six in the West Village on Monday night, perhaps for a little post-Mother’s Day get-together.
Andrea was all smiles as she held hands with her famous daughter, who wore a chic black dress with spaghetti straps and sparkly silver sequins adorning the neckline. Taylor had her hair tied back and accentuated her look with her signature red lipstick.
The sighting comes just two weeks after the star was spotted heading out to dinner in New York City with her father and friend Ashley Avignone.
The Swift family rallied around Scott last summer after he underwent quintuple bypass surgery for a heart issue.
“He’s doing so great,” Taylor said during an October 2025 appearance on SiriusXM’s “Morning Mash Up.”
She continued, “By his own accord, he’s actually at 150 percent now. So he’s definitely got too much energy. He’s doing amazing. I’m so happy. To contextualize this, my dad had a quintuple bypass surgery over the summer.”
Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have integrated into each other’s families since they started dating. Travis, now famously, expressed interest in dating Swift on a July 2023 episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. Within months, Swift reached out privately after friends and family vouched for Travis and the rest, as they […]
“The biggest part of our summer was, as a family, just taking care of him and getting him back to his old self,” Taylor said. “He had amazing medical care and help. The doctors and nurses that I’m going to be forever grateful for. It recontextualizes to you what matters, honestly. It really does. Thank you for mentioning that because it reminds me how lucky I am that he pulled through.”
Following her father’s health scare, Taylor donated $1 million to the American Heart Association over the 2025 holiday season.
“Taylor Swift’s remarkable generosity will create lasting change far beyond its financial value,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association, said in a December 2025 statement. “Her family’s experience with cardiovascular disease is all too common, affecting nearly half of American adults. Her commitment to supporting her father will make so many others aware of the need to take their own heart health seriously, strengthen prevention efforts, and improve controllable risk factors—ultimately helping more people live longer, healthier lives.”
“Taylor has long been associated with the symbol of heart hands. At the American Heart Association, we proudly use that same gesture to honor all who have been affected — our mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, spouses and so many others,” added Brown. “My hope is that together we can raise our collective heart hands and drive meaningful change against this disease, shaping a healthier future for generations to come.”
2026 is shaping up to be a big year for Henry Cavill, who officially returns to the big screen this week with his latest action movie, In The Grey. The film co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Eiza González, and Rosamund Pike, and is directed by tenured action director Guy Ritchie. Ritchie and Cavill first worked together 11 years ago on The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and they reunited a few years ago for the WWII action thriller, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Cavill is also working hard right now filming his long-awaited Highlander remake, which entered production earlier this year at the helm of director Chad Stahelski (director of all four John Wick movies). Cavill has also been recruited to star in another remake that just got the update fans have been fearing for a while now.
Cavill has been tapped to lead a live-action Voltron movie that’s been in the works at Amazon for a while now, along with Paradise and This Is Us star Sterling K. Brown. Voltron wrapped filming last summer, but it didn’t take long after the exciting announcement for apprehension to set in when rumors surfaced that the film was going to forego a theatrical release and premiere straight-to-streaming on Prime Video. These rumors were confirmed yesterday evening, when Prime Video officially announced that Voltron will be a straight-to-streaming release, and it will not play in any theaters. This is especially disappointing to fans who were hoping to see another big-budget space sci-fi epic in theaters, similar in visual scope to Project Hail Mary. The live-action Voltron movie was written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber.
What Else is Streaming on Prime Video Right Now?
Paving the way for Voltron to fly to the top of Prime Video streaming charts right now is Crime 101, the modern spin on Heat starring Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo. The film had something of an underwhelming run in theaters, but it has since found redemption on the second-biggest streaming service in the world. Globally, Prime Video has also found streaming hits in Ballerina and Greenland 2: Migration. The former is a John Wick spin-off film starring Ana de Armas, and the latter is a sci-fi bomb headlined by modern action star Gerard Butler.
Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the live-action Voltron movie, which is coming to Prime Video later this year.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs have rekindled their romance following their brief split.
“Cardi and Stefon are giving things another shot,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “She is giving him a second chance but is not fully committing to him.”
The insider adds that Cardi, 33, is “slowly letting” Diggs, 32, “back in.”
“They’ve been in closer contact lately. Things are no longer contentious,” the source says. “She still has love for Stefon, which makes it difficult to walk away.”
Cardi B joined her ex-boyfriend Stefon Diggs at the pre-Mother’s Day celebration hosted by his nonprofit less than four months after they broke up. Cardi, 33, and Diggs, 32, were both spotted at the Diggs Deep Foundation Wellness event on Saturday, May 9, according to sports reporter Kelsey Nicole Nelson. In images from the event, […]
Us has reached out to Cardi and Diggs’ respective spokespersons for comment.
The couple’s reconciliation comes shortly after they were spotted looking cozy at the “A Moment for Moms” celebration on Saturday, May 9, hosted by the football player’s Diggs Deep Foundation. Sports reporter Kelsey Nicole Nelson shared a photo of Diggs and Cardi greeting attendees at the event. In an additional snap, Diggs wrapped his arms around the rapper’s waist as they smiled for the camera.
Cardi and Diggs were first linked last year. They welcomed their first baby together, a son, in November 2025. (Cardi shares three children with ex-husband Offset while Diggs shares two kids from previous relationships.)
“My life has always been a combination of different chapters and different seasons. My last chapter was the beginning of a new season,” Cardi wrote via Instagram after her baby’s arrival. “Starting over is never easy but it’s been so worth it! I brought new music and a new album to the world, a new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me, one more reason to love me more than anything else or anyone else so I can continue giving my babies the love and life they deserve.”
Cardi and Diggs called it quits before ahead of Super Bowl LX, when the New England Patriots faced off against the Seattle Seahawks, who ended up winning the big game. (Diggs previously played for Patriots and was released in March.)
“They are always so up and down,” a source told Us of the pair’s split at the time. “This isn’t the first time they have broken up.”
Cardi still supported Stefon at the Super Bowl. She also danced in Bad Bunny’s halftime show alongside Karol G, Young Miko and Jessica Alba.
Rumors swirled that Cardi and Diggs were back together earlier this year when the athlete was spotted at Cardi’s concert in Washington D.C. last month. Diggs could be seen dancing to Cardi’s song “Thotiana Remix,” according to a video shared by his personal trainer Clyde Simmon.
Legendary rocker Rod Stewart seemingly referred to President Donald Trump as a “little rat bag” during a candid conversation with King Charles III.
A viral clip shared by Rebecca English, the Daily Mail’s royal editor, captured an awkward moment as the king, 77, greeted a group of celebrities — including Stewart, 81, and his Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood — backstage at the the 50th anniversary celebration of The King’s Trust charity at London’s historic Royal Albert Hall on Monday, May 11.
Stewart seemingly surprised Charles with a joke about the monarch’s recent state visit to the U.S., telling him, “May I say well done in the Americas. You were superb. Absolutely superb. You put that little rat bag in his place!”
The king appeared to chuckle at Stewart’s remark and gesture towards him before moving on to speak with Wood, 78.
Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for the White House, Buckingham Palace and Stewart for comment.
Monday’s gala was held to celebrate alumni, ambassadors, patrons and volunteers from the King’s Trust, which the monarch founded in 1976 to champion vulnerable young people across the U.K.
The event was presented by iconic British TV hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly and featured stars such as George and Amal Clooney, Rita Ora and Lily Collins on the guest list, among others.
Prior to the 2016 election, Stewart described Trump, 79, as a personal friend and his Florida neighbor but later criticized both his first and second administrations. In June 2025, he told the Radio Times that Trump no longer resembled the man he once knew.

“I’m not a great fan of Trump. I knew him very, very well. I used to go to his house,” Stewart said at the time. “I live literally half a mile away… We’re both on the beach. I used to go to his Christmas parties. He’s always been a bit of a man’s man. I liked him for that. But he didn’t, as far as I’m concerned, treat women very well. But since he became President, he became another guy. Somebody I didn’t know.”
He went on, “I can’t [consider him a friend] any more. As long as he’s selling arms to the Israelis — and he still is. How’s that war ever gonna stop? And we [the British] should stop selling them as well.”
President Donald Trump is speaking out after Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. “I think it’s a shame. I think it’s very sad,” Trump, 79, told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday, February 19. “I think it’s so bad for the royal family. It’s […]
Meanwhile, Charles and Queen Camilla held an official visit in the U.S. from April 27 to April 30 and attended a state dinner at the White House. The king became only the second member of the British royal family to address Congress on April 28 when he spoke about climate change and the recent White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.
The king avoided any direct mention of the crimes of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein despite his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s connection to the disgraced financier. Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on February 19 on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly passing confidential information to Epstein during his time as a U.K. trade envoy. He has not entered a plea. (Epstein died by suicide at age 66 in August 2019 after being arrested on federal sex crimes charges.)
Taylor Frankie Paul has fired back at “keyboard warriors” amid her latest falling out with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives costar Mikayla Matthews.
“Today, I talked to a trauma specialist and my coach and it’s validating to hear from professionals rather than keyboard warriors trying to tell me what to do,” Taylor, 31, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, May 11. “Also to see videos of other specialists speak on my situation just from what they can see from afar.”
The Mormon Wives star shared a series of videos from content creators supporting her following her recent court battles with ex Dakota Mortensen. (Taylor temporarily lost custody of her and Dakota’s son Ever, 2, after an alleged domestic violence incident between the pair in February. Utah police ultimately declined to press charges.)
Taylor took time to thank those who have stood by her throughout upheavals in her personal and professional lives over the last few months. (In March, ABC cancelled plans to air Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette following news of her domestic violence case while production on Mormon Wives season 5 was temporarily paused.)
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Mikayla Matthews is finding solace away from the group’s lingering cast drama. “After everything going on the last couple weeks, this was a very much-needed escape 🙏🏼,” Mikayla, 26, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 21, sharing footage of her family’s beach vacation in California. “Think I’ll stay […]
“Just another big thank you all for the astounding support,” she wrote via her Instagram Story later on Monday. “Especially authors, therapists, doctors, specialists, attorneys from all over the nation, alongside neighbors, production, family and friends.”
Taylor’s latest comments follow more drama between her and Mormon Wives costar Mikayla, 26. On May 6, Mikayla replied to a comment complaining that she wasn’t publicly supporting Taylor and Jessi Draper following their recent personal issues.
Mikayla initially replied that the comment was “interesting,” then insisted she was “fed up” when a fan asked why she was suddenly addressing the issue. Another person suggested she should focus on her marital issues with husband Jace Terry and her chronic illness.
“Gotta love a biased double standard 🙃 I’d genuinely love to see how you’d handle being in the same position we’re in,” Mikayla responded. “If you feel entitled to comment on our life, don’t be surprised when we respond. I’m not someone who switches up my opinions just to save face online.”
She expanded on her views in an Instagram Story by explaining that she’d “tried to stay as removed” as possible from Taylor’s recent legal issues with Dakota, 33.

“I have felt absolutely sick to my stomach and horrible for what everyone involved must be feeling and going through,” Mikayla wrote. “However, it is not my job to enable poor or dangerous behavior from either party, especially when children are involved.”
Mikayla insisted that she’d tried to support Taylor during past crises, but now felt that “you cannot save someone who is unwilling to participate in their own rescue.”
Taylor took issue with Mikayla’s characterization of their falling out, describing her costar as “the epitome of someone that was waiting for my downfall and not only watched it, but clearly kicking me too.”
“I rarely, if ever, cried to her for help,” Taylor wrote. “I’m fed up, but I knew she was going through her own [health] stuff, and I didn’t want to make it worse. Clearly she can’t do the same. PS: she can find her way to the door if she doesn’t want to film with me. Next.”
Mikayla later denied that she was “praying for [Taylor’s] downfall.” Taylor seemingly took aim at Mikayla once again without directly naming her in a pointed Mother’s Day post on Sunday, May 10.
“It’s Mother’s Day so I’ll say whatever I want,” Taylor wrote via Instagram. “As if it’s not already the worst time. I have [sic] STILL have ‘friends’ kicking me while I’m already down and calling it ‘setting a boundary’ and then BLAMES ME for being upset and responding. That’s called shaming and attack while I had a moment to breathe and she knew that.”
Taylor once again referenced reports that Mikayla allegedly had concerns filming with her once Hulu resumes shooting Mormon Wives season 5.
Mikayla Matthews reflected on Taylor Frankie Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen’s on-again, off-again relationship before the pair’s domestic violence allegations. When the hosts of the “Comments by Celebs” podcast noted that the case seemed “more concerned with The Bachelorette of it all” than Taylor, 31, did on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 4, […]
“What other questions did you have in the concerns while filming with me… ’Does she get paid more than us?’ Save the ‘concern for children act,’” Taylor asked. “They all know I’m good to my children. I’ve missed more events, girls nights and opportunities to stay home with my kids more than some could ever say.”
She went on, “Happy mother to all the moms out there Of course I’m spiraling… people calling me out yet I can’t respond? Exactly what I will NOT be tolerating ever again. Thank you GOD for the people you sent to help me through this with my enemies so close.”
Taylor’s Mother’s Day posts did little to settle the feud, as Mikayla doubled down on her stance via Instagram that same day.
“Could probably write a book on everything I’ve had to say on this. Nothing I said denied that she’s experienced pain, trauma, or difficult things, there’s literally no question about that,” Matthews wrote. “Two things can be true. Someone can be hurting and still hurt people around them in the process.”
She added, “[My silence] was about no longer wanting to publicly participate in or normalize a cycle that was affecting everyone around it, especially where children and repeated violence were involved.”
If you or someone you know are experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.
Yaya Mayweather has been very open and vocal these past few months about co-parenting with rapper NBA YoungBoy. At times, things appeared rocky. Yaya has publicly apologized to the rapper for things she previously said, only to later blast him online. While entering a new space, Yaya also opened up about healing and searching for love again. She recently announced plans to enter her streamer era, looking for love on e-date stream.

Yaya Mayweather Goes Off Following Rumors About NBA YoungBoy In Paris
On Sunday (May 10), rumors shared by Align With Nae claimed that NBA YoungBoy took a woman named Jada Marie and her daughter to Disneyland Paris. The post the young woman shared said, “Happy Mother’s Day,” and many fans began speculating that the rapper might also have been in attendance.
Amid the rumors, Yaya Mayweather paused her Mother’s Day celebrations to get a few things off her chest. Seemingly calling out NBA YoungBoy, the father of her son Kentrell Jr., over the circulating rumors, she tweeted, “Once again you playing step daddy flying a groupie h** and her child to Paris, but your son hasn’t seen you since you’ve been in Paris and even months before that… mind you he’s been in Paris for months.”
She later added, “This the sh*** I have to deal with on mother’s day you sorry a*** b****.”
In more tweets, Yaya vented about not understanding how someone could be around another person’s child while not showing up for their own. She also made it clear that she did not care what day it was and would always speak up behind her child.
In a reportedly deleted tweet, she also wrote, “You haven’t even known this girl a whole year you then bought this b*tch a house in Utah & taking care of this h*e & her kid… but don’t even show up for your own child mentally, physically, emotionally, or financially. That’s the part that will never make sense to me.”

What Has NBA YoungBoy Been Up To Following The ‘MASA’ Tour And His Break From Social Media?
While NBA YoungBoy’s current whereabouts have not been publicly confirmed, he’s been pretty lowkey since the end of his ‘MASA Tour.’ Back in March, the rapper did pop out during Paris Fashion Week. YB rocked black with wife Jazlyn Mychelle after the couple welcomed their third child together.
He later deactivated his social media accounts amid ongoing issues involving the mothers of his children. Since then, he’s mainly kept supporters fed through his ‘American YoungBoy’ theater releases. The screenings gave fans a behind the scenes look at how he balanced life as a rapper, father, and performer. Some theaters even turned into full celebrations, with supporters singing and dancing to his songs word for word.
The rapper was also scheduled to headline Rolling Loud on Sunday, May 10. However, before the festival date arrived, he released a statement explaining that he needed time away from traveling and performing.
A message shared on his team’s Instagram account read, “Lil Top, To my Rolling Loud family, I won’t be making it this time. I just need some time away from traveling and performing right now. Love to everybody supporting me, I’ll forever appreciate y’all!”
Ultimately, Rolling Loud tapped rapper Ken Carson to step in as a replacement headliner.

Randall Park recalls taking a road trip to see a girlfriend that ended with him in the hospital: 'I never made it'

The “Fresh Off the Boat” actor is taking over William Shatner’s role as Priceline’s Negotiator.
NBC has pulled the plug on several fan-favorite shows — including a Law & Order spinoff and several daytime shows.
The network initially shocked audiences in May 2025 when they pulled the plug on Lopez vs. Lopez, Night Court, Found, The Irrational and Suits LA. NBC later renewed The Hunting Party and Brilliant Minds, but those were the only freshman shows that survived — with Grosse Pointe Garden Society not surviving after being on the bubble.
NBC’s harsh cuts come after the network signed an 11-year deal with the NBA. This agreement, which is worth nearly $2.5 billion per year, meant NBC will air up to 100 regular-season games, which affected the amount of original programming headed our way in the fall.
The network added several new shows for the 2025-2026 TV season but there were still big cuts — starting with Law & Order: Organized Crime. Chris Meloni originally reprised the role of Elliot Stabler in the spinoff after exiting Law & Order: SVU.
2026 has been brutal when it comes to our favorite shows getting canceled. Netflix cut ties with Boots two months after the show premiered. Based on Greg Cope White‘s memoir, the scripted series followed Cameron (Miles Heizer) as he joined the U.S. Marine Corps alongside his best friend Ray (Liam Oh) during the 1990s, the […]
Law & Order: Organized Crime, which premiered in 2021, went through quite a few shakeups with Matt Olmstead originally taking on the role of showrunner but ultimately stepping down later that year. He was replaced by Ilene Chaiken, who remained on the show for one season before Barry O’Brien took over.
Bryan Goluboff became the showrunner for season 3 but left after three months. He was replaced by Sean Jablonski, who left due to “creative differences” and David Graziano took over for the final episodes of the season.
NBC renewed the series for a fourth season with John Shiban as showrunner. He later departed during production of the fifth season, which marked the sixth change in showrunners over the show’s five seasons. NBC confirmed in April 2026 that the series had been canceled.

Fire Country isn’t the only CBS show currently going through a surprising showrunner change. News broke in January 2026 that showrunner Tia Napolitano was leaving after multiple onscreen departures. “Tia has been instrumental in helping both build and steer Fire Country, which not only became a top series, but is also the foundation of a […]
