Fall may just be my favorite season. Cozy candles, delicious pumpkin-spice drinks and nostalgic films just do something to me — but the seasonal fashion tops it all. From plaid scarves to chunky cardigans, autumnal style is a step above. While I usually reach for fall-ready boots this time of year, I’m trading them in for elegant low-profile loafers.

This slim footwear style creates a sophisticated aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with denim, sweaters, and skirts. When I’m feeling extra playful, I even layer a printed sock underneath, creating a two-in-one look. But my favorite part? Retailers like Amazon and Nordstrom have tons of fresh styles that start at just — wait for it — $17.

Discover my top picks below, and achieve your best fall style yet.

Chris Brown reportedly filed court documents claiming he’s too busy performing in ‘The R&B Tour’ to appear at a courthouse in Van Nuys, California. The filing comes after Brown was ordered to pay his former housekeeper, Maria Avila, a $13 million settlement following a dog attack.

Brown Claims Tour Schedule Keeps Him From Court As Housekeeper Tries To Collect $13 Million Settlement

Singer Chris Brown is currently touring nationwide with Usher in ‘The R&B Tour,’ and the duo has been making headlines for their risqué fan interactions during the shows. The tour is so popular that it was recently extended. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the performer claims the tour schedule is keeping him from appearing at court in Van Nuys, California. Not only that, but the docs state that ‘The R&B Tour’ may be extended again.

Brown owes his ex-housekeeper, Maria Avila, a $13 million settlement after she won a lawsuit against the singer. Avila sued Brown after she was mauled by his 200-pound dog at his home in Tarzana.

Furthermore, Avila intends to review his bank statements and finances to determine how she’ll collect her $13 million settlement after a judge ruled she could be paid from Brown’s tour profits. However, the documents claim Brown’s tour schedule prevents his appearance in court.

Singer Shares Cryptic Post Amid Filing

Brown also shared a cryptic message with fans on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, September 2. The post was made mere days after the news about the court filing was reported. However, it’s unclear if the post is related to the filing.

“A n*gga in motion don’t have time to explain his direction.”

The ‘Loyal‘ artist also shared pictures from ‘The R&B Tour’ with fans on the platform.

Brown performed three shows in the San Francisco Bay area on August 28, August 29, and September 1, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Fans React To Brown’s Post By Cuttin’ Up

Fans reacted with jokes on TSR’s Instagram page, while others noted that the singer should just pay his debt.

User @gravityyfallz1 clapped-back, “He better be in motion to paying that lady.”

User @__shaniyahh added, “Period boo! Tell em again 😛.”

@_styledbythornedrose concluded, “Listen we all got some splaaiinngg to do to somebody… you ain’t exempt 🥴.”

Jacob Elordi’s latest movie, “The Dog Stars,” has failed to make an impression at the box office during its opening weekend.

Despite the actor’s growing popularity following movies like “Wuthering Heights” and “Frankenstein,” his star power couldn’t help boost the film’s performance.

“The Dog Stars” earned just $8 million during its opening weekend, falling far short of its more than $80 million production budget.

3

“The Dog Stars” failed to attract a large audience during its opening weekend, despite being led by one of Hollywood’s rising stars, Jacob Elordi.

The film was shown in about 3,330 theaters across North America but brought in only $8 million during its first weekend in cinemas. This placed it fifth on the domestic box-office chart, behind several competing releases, including “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and “Coyote vs. Acme.”

Expectations were higher given its $80 million budget and the fact that it was helmed by Ridley Scott. However, Scott’s presence, like Elordi’s, failed to translate into strong box-office numbers.

Viewers Share Mixed Reactions To ‘The Dog Stars’

Online, some viewers who reviewed the movie shared their disappointment with its plot.

“It just didn’t really go anywhere, first hour I was in, but the second hour it lost complete control. If anything, it was a post-apocalyptic love story,” one wrote.

“I don’t know how a decent story from the book can be so poorly represented in a film,” another individual shared.

“DOG STARS is the kind of post-apocalyptic flick you’ll instantly forget,” someone else stated. “Despite being one of my favorite genres, it makes a series of underwhelming choices and has absolutely nothing new to say. Ridley Scott is on cruise control.”

Jacob Elordi Fights To Survive In ‘The Dog Stars’

“The Dog Stars” is adapted from Peter Heller’s 2012 novel and follows a lone survivor living with his dog at an abandoned airport after an apocalyptic event. His isolated existence takes a turn when he discovers a mysterious radio signal and sets out to find its source, all while struggling to secure food and other essential supplies.

While the film explores familiar post-apocalyptic themes, it takes a different approach by leaving out the zombies often seen in the genre.

Elordi leads the cast as the film’s central character, with Margaret Qualley, Josh Brolin, Guy Pearce, Allison Janney, and Benedict Wong also appearing in key roles.

Ridley Scott’s ‘The Last Duel’ Suffered A Similar Fate

3

“The Dog Stars’” weak debut also draws comparisons to Scott’s 2021 historical drama “The Last Duel,” which opened with just $4.7 million in October that year despite a production budget of roughly $100 million.

At the time, Scott claimed that Disney had done a fantastic job promoting “The Last Duel.” He then blamed millennials for the movie’s poor performance, citing their alleged ignorance of history.

“I think what it boils down to [is] what we’ve got today [are] the audiences who were brought up on these fucking cell phones. The millennials do not ever want to be taught anything unless you are told it on the cell phone,” Scott said.

Will Jacob Elordi And Ridley Scott Work Together Again?

3

“The Dog Stars” marks the first collaboration between Elordi and veteran director Scott. For now, there is no indication that the two intend to work together again, and the film’s disappointing box-office performance could make another collaboration even less likely.

However, both are already moving on to other projects following their first collaboration.

Elordi is in talks to take on a lead role in A24’s upcoming thriller “Scapegoat.” If he joins the project, he is expected to star alongside former Marvel star Scarlett Johansson.

Meanwhile, Scott recently revealed that he is “rewriting the next Alien film,” which will likely serve as the last installment in the iconic sci-fi franchise.

Pedro Pascal was arguably the first big star to emerge from Star Wars’ Disney+ era as he took on the role of Din Djarin in The Mandalorian, primarily providing the voice of the titular helmet-wearing character. Pascal has played Din since 2019, across three seasons of the series before making the jump to the big screen with The Mandalorian and Grogu. However, Disney+ is already bringing the beloved character back for another adventure, without Pedro Pascal.

Disney has confirmed that Gavin Hammon will replace Pascal as the voice of Din Djarin in LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian, which arrives on Disney+ today. The animated special will offer a comedic LEGO retelling of memorable moments from all three seasons of The Mandalorian, with Hammon providing the voice of its helmeted hero. What makes this particularly notable, though, is that Pascal seems to be the only member of the main cast who isn’t actually reprising their role from the television series. Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica), Emily Swallow (Supernatural), Ming-Na Wen (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Rosario Dawson (Ahsoka), Temuera Morrison (The Book of Boba Fett), and Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) are all reprising their roles for the special.

Does Pedro Pascal Still Want to Play The Mandalorian?

Hammon taking over the LEGO version of Din Djarin doesn’t mean Pascal has finished playing the character in live action. During the press tour for The Mandalorian and Grogu press tour earlier this year, Pascal made it clear that he was willing to continue for as long as audiences wanted him: “You know, age is a real thing… Whatever my body can do, and however long people want to experience these stories with these characters, is how long I want it to last.”

Pascal separately said that he hoped there would be a “next chapter” for Din and Grogu, arguing that there was still plenty of potential left in the characters and the corner of the Star Wars universe created by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. His absence from the LEGO special also isn’t entirely unprecedented for the character. During The Mandalorian, stunt performers Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder regularly wore Din Djarin’s armor for action sequences and when Pascal wasn’t physically available, with Pascal providing the character’s voice.

LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian and The Mandalorian and Grogu arrive on Disney+ today. Stay tuned at Collider for more.

Alexandra Grant is facing questions over whether her latest museum project really benefited the female writers whose work it featured. Critics have questioned whether the exhibition gave those writers a bigger platform or drew more attention to Keanu Reeves‘ longtime girlfriend herself. The scrutiny grew after several participating writers reportedly said the project was less collaborative than they expected and raised concerns about the fees they were initially offered.

4

Keanu Reeves’ longtime partner, Alexandra Grant, is facing criticism over an art project that was promoted as amplifying female writers’ voices.

German art magazine Monopol questioned whether Grant’s “One Star Is Enough to Believe in the Light” exhibition at Neues Museum Nürnberg actually empowered the writers whose work it incorporated. The outlet argued that several of the contemporary German-language authors featured were already established figures who hardly needed Grant’s introduction to an audience.

That framing became a central point of contention because the project positioned Grant as someone helping bring overlooked female voices into the museum space. Monopol pushed back on that idea. The outlet pointed out that Fatma Aydemir, Rasha Khayat, Olivia Wenzel, and Pauline Füg were already accomplished writers with established careers, major publications, and industry recognition.

Grant’s Exhibition Draws Scrutiny Over Fees And Collaboration

4

Monopol’s criticism of Grant went further. According to the publication, Füg, Khayat, and Wenzel said the dialogue, or “ping-pong,” process they expected with Grant never materialized.

The authors also reportedly said Grant characterized the exhibition as a low-budget project and initially offered only small fees for use of their texts.

The magazine contrasted those claims with the exhibition’s high-profile opening, which Reeves attended, and questioned whether his star power ultimately drew more attention to Grant than the participating writers. Monopol reported that she later increased the authors’ fees and secured additional usage rights following negotiations.

Alexandra Grant Discussed The Women’s Voices Behind Her Exhibition

4

Months before Monopol published its criticism, Grant had already outlined the thinking behind the Nuremberg exhibition.

In a June interview with ELLE, she said the show would feature eight women connected to the German language, spanning from a medieval nun to contemporary writers. Grant described the project as an examination of how women had shaped themselves through literature and writing over time.

She also said the exhibition would present their voices through her paintings on paper and spoke broadly about the struggles women faced across different eras.

4

Grant’s own description of the exhibition offers a broader view of what she appeared to be trying to do.

In her chat with ELLE before the show opened, she described a project spanning centuries of women’s writing, with each voice interpreted through her visual work. That framing suggests the exhibition was not simply about introducing unknown writers to the public.

An author need not be obscure for an artist to bring her work to a different audience or to explore it through another medium. Grant also openly acknowledged Aydemir’s stature before the controversy emerged, calling her a distinguished novelist and playwright.

Joseline Hernandez isn’t backing down from exposing how Stevie J allegedly doesn’t contribute to caring for their daughter, Bonnie Bella. And Benzino is part of the reason Joseline is speaking out! She shared heated words for Zino after he appeared to defend Stevie and blast the Puerto Rican Princess for discussing child support with her nine-year-old.

The Background Context: Joseline & Bonnie Bella’s Conversation

This week, clips circulated from Joseline’s new reality show, showing her and Bonnie chattin’ openly about what some would call “grown folks business.” In one video, for instance, Bonnie says Joseline told her what a “stripper” does for work. Hernandez admits she wants to keep Bella from finding out about her past on the internet or at school. During that same conversation, the mother and daughter discussed how involved Stevie J is. Bonnie Bella tells her mom that she thinks he’s both a good dad and not a good dad. The nine-year-old said sometimes her dad wants to see her, making him good. Other times, she believes he lies about having to end calls for meetings. Joseline added to Bonnie’s reasoning, alleging that Stevie J doesn’t give them any money. “He don’t give us a dollar. Your school is so expensive. He doesn’t even have the decency to call and say, ” Hey, do y’all need some money over there?” Hernandez said.

Benzino Weighs In On Joseline Hernandez’s Talk With Bonnie

As the Joseline and Bonnie Bella clips circulated, Benzino hopped online to share his two cents.  He shared his stance against Hernandez being so open with her nine-year-old. Zino mentioned that the girl shouldn’t know about her past as a stripper. He said it’s an inappropriate conversation for Bonnie’s age, calling her “way too young.” However, Benzino said the “real issue” is Joseline speaking about Stevie J not giving them any money.

“This is a real problem in our community, where the mother paints this narrative of the father because the father is not with the mother anymore. And she’s filling Bonnie Bella’s head up with this narrative…as they get older they start resenting their father and I just think that is wrong.”

Benzino said that Joseline should tell the whole story if she’s going to tell anything. “…without Stevie her career wouldn’t be where it is and that’s just a fact,” he added. He then appeared to speak to her directly, telling her to stop trying to paint a “bad father” picture without full context. He also challenged women to take accountability in the chaos and emphasize that without Stevie J there would be no Joseline Hernandez or ‘Love & Hip Hop.’

“I don’t like to sit back and watch somebody bash someone’s father to a child who’s 10 years old. I thought that was very inappropriate and a lot of y’all who’s cosigning it, y’all need your head examined…cause it wasn’t cool.”

Joseline Hernandez Drags Benzino & Doubles Down On Her Stance On Stevie J’s Position In Daughter’s Life

After The Shade Room reposted Benzino’s comments on Instagram, Joseline didn’t hold back on the degree of her insult. She implied that Zino was performing fellatio on Stevie J, writing in the comment section, “Omg I see some of Stevie j [nut emoticon] on the side of his mouth. Someone give him a washcloth.” 

TSR reposted her comment on IG again. This time, Joseline slid into the comment section to double down on her narrative that her daughter’s biological father does not contribute financially to caring for Bonnie Bella. She called him disgusting and suggested that deadbeat dads should be locked up.

“That lame Stevie hasn’t gave me a 1$ dollar for Bonnie since she’s been born I don’t talk bad about him to Bonnie’Bella at all. But you not going to tell me I can’t ask my daughter how she feels about anything. Stevie been doing that. No one feelings are valid except his feelings. Stevie needs a job and needs to provide for his children period. Not just Bonnie’Bella but all his 8 or 9 kids that he has. He is a disgusting human being. That girl eat, dresses, hair, insurance, school, and activities and he has never payed a dollar for anything. Smh. These DEAD BEATS need Jail time.”

At this time, Stevie J has not publicly weighed in on what Joseline is alleging or how Benzino appeared to come to his defense.
