Everyone has had that moment where they are holding something back and suddenly every normal interaction feels harder than it should. You choose your words a little more carefully. You notice how someone looks at you. You wonder if you sounded too calm, too nervous, too quick to answer.

That is why spy movies are so easy to get pulled into when they are done right. The missions and secret identities are exciting, of course, but the real hook is that constant pressure of hiding, watching, guessing, and trying to stay one step ahead. The 6 entries on this list understand that feeling. Scroll down to see the movies that master the game.

‘Operation Mincemeat’ (2021)

Image via Netflix

World War II produced some incredibly strange intelligence operations, but Operation Mincemeat turns one of the weirdest into a tense drama about fabrication, bureaucracy, and moral compromise. The movie follows Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen), who help engineer a plan to fool Nazi command by planting false invasion documents on a dead body. The premise sounds almost absurd. However, the film quickly reveals how many practical, emotional, and ethical decisions have to be made before a lie can become believable.

The best scenes are built around tiny details. For instance, a pocket photograph, a love letter, a receipt, and a military identity all become parts of a person who never truly existed. He was a total ghost. Also, Jean Leslie (Kelly Macdonald) gives the invented “Pam” an emotional reality that makes this fabricated romance feel more intimate and more disturbing. At the end of the day, the film treats spy work just like telling a story. But if you mess up the details, thousands of lives are on the line.

‘Tenet’ (2020)

Tenet is spy cinema turned into a physics problem. The Protagonist (John David Washington) starts inside a familiar undercover world of extraction teams, arms dealers, handlers, forged access, and global stakes. However, the moment a bullet moves backward, the genre suddenly becomes unstable. Christopher Nolan keeps the bones of a spy thriller in place, but every chase, fight, briefing, and infiltration is warped by inversion. Everything operates in reverse. Bullets aren’t fired, they’re pulled into the gun. Weird, right? But that’s how it is. Everything has reverse entropy.

That is why the film remains so fascinating. The Kyiv opera siege, the Oslo freeport fight, the Tallinn highway sequence, and the final temporal pincer movement all ask the viewer to watch espionage as choreography under impossible rules. Your brain has to scramble to keep up. To ground all this mechanical chaos, the film relies on a quiet human element. Neil (Robert Pattinson) spends the film quietly risking his life for a friend who doesn’t even know him. Yet, Andrei Sator (Kenneth Branagh) gives the plot an ugly, possessive human villain. Admittedly, the emotional core is thinner than the machinery. Even so, that machinery is too good. Few modern spy films have made movement itself feel this dangerous.

‘The Courier’ (2020)

The best undercover agents are usually the ones who look entirely unequipped for the job. The Courier works so well precisely because Greville Wynne (Benedict Cumberbatch) looks almost too ordinary for the danger surrounding him. He is a British businessman recruited to carry messages from Oleg Penkovsky (Merab Ninidze), a Soviet officer secretly passing intelligence to the West during the Cold War. The film understands that his usefulness comes from his apparent harmlessness. After all, he can travel, drink, smile, sell, and disappear into normal professional behavior. He hides in plain sight.

But, that ordinariness becomes unbearable as the danger tightens. Hotel rooms, briefcases, dinners, border crossings, and casual conversations all start to feel loaded because one wrong gesture could expose everything. Really, the friendship between Wynne and Penkovsky gives the film its weight. This is a spy story about information that could help prevent catastrophe, but it is also about two men slowly realizing the personal cost of doing the right thing. Which is why the prison section is devastating because the adventure has fully vanished. Only loyalty remains.

‘No Time to Die’ (2021)

No Time to Die‘s greatest trick is giving James Bond (Daniel Craig) something much more fragile than a mission. It gives him the possibility of peace. The film opens with Bond trying to leave violence behind, only for the past to rip through that fantasy in Matera. The resulting Aston Martin chase leaves a mark because Bond’s silence behind the bullet-shattered glass feels as important as the gunfire. He is furious, wounded, and tired before he becomes deadly again.

The spy mechanics eventually expand into stolen bioweapon technology, old enemies, hidden laboratories, and Lyutsifer Safin (Rami Malek)’s island base, but the film’s real power is personal. Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux) and Mathilde (Lisa-Dorah Sonnet) force Bond to imagine a life beyond survival. The old swagger in Cuba and the brutal force in the stairwell are still there, but they take a backseat to a much heavier sacrifice. Bond finally saves the world. But, by giving up the only future he ever truly wanted.

‘Black Bag’ (2025)

Image via Focus Features

Black Bag is the decade’s cleanest recent example of spycraft as marital warfare. The story kicks off when George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender), who is an intelligence officer, is tasked with identifying a possible traitor, and Kathryn St. Jean (Cate Blanchett), his wife, is one of the names inside the suspicion. That one fact gives the film its charge. Every professional instinct George has points toward investigation. Yet, every private attachment pushes against the same evidence.

Suddenly, their marriage basically becomes a quiet interrogation. The fun is watching two master liars casually eat dinner while secretly measuring every blink, pause, and perfectly chosen word. They can’t behave like ordinary spouses. They know the rules of deception way too well. The film ranks this high because it restores the adult spy thriller. It is controlled, elegant, suspicious, and built around the terrifying intimacy of wondering whether the person closest to you is also the operation.

‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning’ (2023)

Image via Paramount Pictures

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning easily earns the top spot. It turns a modern fear into pure spy-movie pleasure. At the center of that fear is the Entity, an AI that bends information, predicts behavior, and makes every screen feel compromised. Instead of a hacking war, however, the movie keeps dragging that threat back into the physical world. To fight it, the mission tracks Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), who still has to chase a key through an airport, read faces in a crowd, handcuff himself to Grace (Hayley Atwell) during a Rome escape, and launch a motorcycle off a cliff because the mission eventually demands something no algorithm can fake. And, that is nerve.

Sure, the film is almost absurdly generous with massive stunts, but each sequence has weight because Ethan treats every person as more valuable than the objective. That is why Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson)’s death hurts. That is why Grace slowly understanding Ethan’s code anchors the whole story. The train climax is magnificent because it keeps reducing the mission to raw survival. Climb, grab, hold, trust, move. Every dangling carriage feels impossible, yet Ethan keeps choosing people anyway. That is the entire franchise. Thrilling, desperate, and completely sincere.

There’s nothing wrong with a basic black top, but Julianne Moore just reminded Us how much chicer the staple can look with one small switch. Rather than another crewneck or basic long-sleeve style, the actress opted for a shoulder-baring silhouette that instantly felt more elevated. It’s an easy city-girl upgrade we’re ready to copy this fall.

On September 10, Moore was spotted arriving at the Kering Foundation’s Fifth Annual Caring For Women Dinner in New York City wearing a sleek black off-the-shoulder top with a dramatic feathered skirt, platform heels and drop earrings. The neckline added interest without competing with her statement skirt. While her exact top remains a mystery, we found a $13 lookalike that captures the same chic effect.

Get the Tisfeer Off the Shoulder Knit Sweater for just $13 (Was $33) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, September 21, 2026, but are subject to change.

The Tisfeer Off the Shoulder Knit Sweater delivers the same sleek, shoulder-baring look for a fraction of the price. It features a wide boat neckline, batwing sleeves, a cinched waist and a ribbed hem that gives the relaxed knit some shape. The soft, stretchy fabric also makes it easy to pair with everything from denim to trousers.

Few shoes can divide a room quite like clogs. The chunky ’70s staple has spent decades bouncing between fashion-forward and downright questionable, but it keeps finding its way back into stylish closets. Now, Sandra Bullock is making the controversial shoe look surprisingly chic — and there’s an affordable similar style that makes the trend much easier […]

Shoppers are already sold on its elevated look. One buyer called the off-the-shoulder design “really stylish,” adding that it “gives it a relaxed, effortlessly chic look.” Black is the obvious choice for recreating Moore’s outfit, but it also comes in burgundy, beige, navy and more, with sizes from XS to XL.

Another customer called it their “absolute favorite fall staple,” saying they reach for it during “casual outings, coffee runs and weekend dinners.” Pair it with jeans and ballet flats for an everyday city-girl look, or dress it up with a maxi skirt and heels for dinner.

No feathered skirt is required to make this top look expensive. The off-the-shoulder neckline gives even simple jeans and boots a chicer feel, while the fitted waist keeps the silhouette flattering. For just $13, it’s an easy way to make a basic black top feel exciting again.

A 3-year-old boy in Indiana fatally drowned after his mother allegedly drank five 25 oz. cans of Bud Ice in two hours and she passed out on a patio chair.

Amie Jo Farber has been charged with neglect of a dependent causing death.

Officers with the Evansville Police Department responded to a home on Saturday, September 19, at 4:44 p.m. after a boy had been found unresponsive in a pool, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit viewed by Law & Crime.

Authorities immediately started performing lifesaving measures on the boy upon their arrival, and paramedics later rushed him to the hospital. The boy, who has not been publicly identified, was ultimately pronounced dead.

A mother in Indiana has been accused of leaving her 1-year-old son, Isais Pascual-Hernandez, for seven hours in an “unsafe” sleeping environment, leading him to suffocate on his bedding and die. Evansville Police Department officers and emergency medical personnel reported to an apartment after they received a report of a “medical emergency” at 4:22 p.m. […]

The homeowner spoke to police and explained that Farber, who is a family acquaintance, came to his house around 2:30 p.m. and asked if her son could use the pool. He said that he agreed to let the boy use the pool as long as Farber, 41, watched him.

The man added that he knew Farber had a drinking problem and noted that she appeared intoxicated when she arrived at his home, per the affidavit.

He said that he and Farber sat outside as the boy swam in the pool on a floatie. The homeowner then went inside for about 10 minutes and he found Farber “passed out” in a patio chair when he returned. The homeowner also said he did not initially see the boy, but the floatie was overturned in the pool.

The homeowner then noticed the boy was floating face down in the water. He got the boy out of the pool and yelled for someone to call 911 as he started to perform CPR.

A woman then called 911 and told the dispatcher that Farber “passed out drunk,” per the affidavit. The boy was ultimately pronounced dead after emergency services rushed him to the hospital.

Police said that Farber allegedly drank five Bud Ice “Big Ones” in the two hours she was at the home.

Farber spoke to police about the incident, and she claimed she briefly jumped in the pool before she got out. She then claimed to go back to a patio chair, where she “must’ve fallen asleep.”

“This is all my fault,” she allegedly told officers, according to the affidavit.

Police officers collected a blood sample from Farber before she was arrested and taken into custody at the Vandenburgh County Jail. Farber is currently being held on a $25,000 bond, and she is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, September 23.

It is not currently clear if Farber has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following her arrest. The Evansville Police Department did not immediately respond to Us’ request for comment regarding the case.

Chris “CT” Tamburello is in a new relationship, and according to him, things have been a breeze. The “Challenge” alum recently spoke about his new romance with “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Phaedra Parks and said their connection actually works because of the distance.

Of course, Phaedra and CT have spent years on television, showcasing the highs and lows of their previous relationships. But could things between them be endgame? CT, who first rose to fame after starring in MTV’s “The Real World,” says he’s hoping for the best.

CT Praises Phaedra Parks, Says She Fills Him With ‘Peace’ And ‘Calm’

4

In an interview with Us Weekly, CT briefly opened up about his new relationship with Parks and said things are going well right now. The reality star, known for shows like “The Challenge” and “Fear Factor,” added that when he’s around Parks, she “brings peace” and makes it “easy to just stay calm.”

CT and Parks are still testing the waters, considering CT lives in Boston and Parks lives in Georgia. The distance, however, might be working for them, CT said.

“It’s probably for the best if I’m not around her every day, to be honest. But she’s amazing. She really is. The way I would describe it is like Paula Abdul, ‘Opposites Attract.’ You remember that old video? That’s us,” he joked.

Parks Confirmed Her Relationship With The ‘Challenge’ Vet Earlier This Month

4

Parks confirmed she was dating CT earlier this month when she appeared on Jeff Lewis’ radio show, according to The Blast. The “Real Housewives” mainstay told the “Still Flipping Out” star that she was in Los Angeles with CT as his date to the Creative Emmys.

And while their romance seems sudden, loyal fans have been rooting for CT and Parks since season 2 of Peacock’s thrilling reality series “The Traitors.” During the episodes, viewers became so obsessed with CT and Parks’ connection that they deemed the former Parks’ “castle daddy.”

CT’s Relationship With Parks Has Already Received Negative Attention

4

Not everyone is happy with Parks and CT’s recent revelation, though. Days after going public, CT’s estranged wife, Catalina White, accused him of stalling their divorce for unknown reasons.

“I genuinely wish Chris well in whatever relationship or career he chooses to pursue. I’m not interested in commenting on whether his new relationship is real, for publicity, or anything in between,” she said. “What I would like is for him to put the same energy into ending our marriage that he’s putting into publicly promoting his new relationship.”

White Says She Wants Nothing From Her Estranged Husband

White also shot back at the suggestions that she’s trying to divorce CT for money, denying the claims and pointing to her status as one of that website’s top creators.

“I do not, and never did, need or want money from this man,” she said. “I’m not asking for anything from him other than his cooperation in finalizing our divorce.”

She finished by saying, “If Chris is ready to move on publicly, he should be ready to move on too legally. Sign the papers!”

And White isn’t the only one calling him out. Days later, “Jersey Shore” alum Angelina Pivarnick left a cryptic comment on Instagram that caught a lot of attention. “Soo much I could say right now because I know what really happened,” she wrote.

A New Season Of ‘The Traitors’ Is Coming To Peacock Soon

4

CT and Parks’ love story could potentially lead to new connections amongst other “Traitors” contestants, as the new season is currently in production.

A new report from The Blast states that several public figures, including “Real Housewives” stars and professional athletes, are joining Alan Cumming for another round of his treacherous game.

Until their time comes, viewers can stream the latest season, which features an all-civilian cast, on Peacock now.

“It’s got darkened tones of murder, but it’s tongue-in-cheek and can be a family-friendly viewing experience. There’s a cheekiness,” a producer said about the new version. “Alan’s got this theatricality to him, and it’s a multigenerational cast from all walks of life.”

Travis Kelce pulled out the coolest outfit while walking into Arrowhead Stadium ahead of the Kansas City Chiefs game.

Kelce, 36, looked like a stud in a Louis Vuitton jacket featuring a navy tie-dye pattern on Sunday, September 20. The sartorial look, which retailed for $4,950, was finished with the brand’s signature logo, which was bedazzled on his chest and black buttons. The tight end complemented the statement piece with a white T-shirt tucked into black pants. He tied his look together with white socks, black dress shoes, a silver chain necklace and brown sunglasses.

Fans were quick to praise Kelce’s style via Instagram on Sunday. “Looking like a snazzy human exclamation point tonight ❤️💛,” one wrote, referring to Taylor Swift’s description of him. A second added, “Knew he was a ‘Killa’🔥🔥🔥🔥.” Another fan wrote, “So snazzy!!!”

At the time, Swift, 36, was seen cheering her man on and shouting, “That’s my husband!” while pointing at her ring. While Kelce’s look was worth thousands of dollars, Swift opted for an affordable and adorable $40 tank by Wear by Erin Andrews. The top featured a red bodice with black straps, as well as the Chiefs’ name and logo printed on her chest. She styled the tank with blue jeans and a black leather belt complete with gold hardware.

Swift and Kelce started dating in 2023. In August 2025, they announced their engagement. “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” she captioned a number of photos which showed Kelce down on one knee, surrounded by flowers in his yard. The stars tied the knot on July 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Last month, he told reporters during the Chiefs’ training camp that it was the “best night of [his] life.”

“I appreciate everybody who came out and celebrated and had fun with us. That’s about all I really got from that night. It was a crazy night. It was full of a lot of celebration,” he added.

General Hospital spoilers for the two weeks starting September 21st with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) pushing back during an intense confrontation and also Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) flips out when he finds out what his daughter is doing.

Also coming in the two weeks of September 21st through October 2nd, we will have Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) working on his next revenge scheme and Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) is desperate. Let’s jump right in.

General Hospital Spoilers: Rocco Reassures Scout

Monday, September 21st on General Hospital, we are going to have Willow reaching out to Valentin and he tells Willow that she needs to step up and make herself indispensable to the WSB. Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) reassures Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) as they talk and holds hands at Surf Lodge and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) makes a discovery. Looks like she may be the one who finds Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) in Drew’s car.

Charlotte tells the person who opens the door, “You need to leave right now.” Also, Carly issues a warning. And she says, “If you’d have put that into action, it would have been a big mistake.” Looks like that’s to Charlotte. Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn) tells Cody Bell (Josh Kelly), “Somebody needs my help before they do something really stupid.” And Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) confides in Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) that she knew someone was being held against their will.

Plus, Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) listens as Anna opens up about her fears. She is asking Jason how Britt’s doing, and Jason says Britt is shaken up, but she’s okay. And then Jason tells Anna that Britt wanted him to be a witness for the cops against Anna, and Jason refused. And Anna tells Jason he should not have done that.

GH Spoilers: Jason & Sonny Catch Up

Tuesday, September 22nd on General Hospital. Jason and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) are talking. They reconnect over drinks at the Brown Dog Bar. And I’m sure that Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), Britt, and Anna are all gonna be on the menu. Britt comes face to face with Anna. And Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) sees something that she is not supposed to. Maybe it’s Aurora. Maybe it’s something to do with Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner).

Also, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) opens up to Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna). I think Lulu might be venting to Dante about Valentin keeping her in the dark about Charlotte’s recent antics, which would be ironic seeing as Lulu kept Dante in the dark about Rocco a lot. Carly does damage control and this may be her trying to diffuse the situation between Valentin and Charlotte. Also, Carly may try to scrub any traces of Charlotte on the security cameras with Drew’s car.

I also wonder if Valentin is going to tell Lulu about this incident, seeing as they just had that parenting talk. Valentin was against keeping Charlotte and Danny apart like Lulu mentioned, but he may reconsider now, especially because we have a very annoyed Charlotte rolling her eyes at her dad.

General Hospital Spoilers: Sonny & Ric Talk Strategy

Wednesday, September 23rd, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) and Sonny are doing some strategizing. No doubt it’s about Nina and the situation. And Drew notices an interaction between Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow.

So after framing Nina and getting her sent away, Drew is moving on to Willow to get his revenge on her. And I suspect he will use Chase to do it. Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) makes an alliance with somebody. I’m expecting it’s Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) because Fall General Hospital spoilers say that he teams up with Tracy to target Willow and destroy her once and for all.

Somebody has an offer for Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup). It may be Giovanni Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) trying to get Kai out of the way. Or it could be something to do with Trina Robinson‘s (Tabyana Ali) stalker. Speaking of her, Trina’s making a big choice and I’m wondering if she may consider stepping back from music altogether.

GH Spoilers: Sonny Infuriates Ava

Thursday, September 24th, Ava Jerome (Maura West) is blasting Sonny and Tracy lets somebody in on her agenda. She may be telling Michael. I’m sure it’s about Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Chase. Tracy told Brook Lynn she supports her fight for her marriage, but Tracy really wants them split up because she thinks Chase isn’t treating Brook Lynn right. Also, Michael and Drew come together. Those two put their cards on the table. And of course, they both hate Willow.

Jordan is shocked by something. So, she may see Drew and Michael conspiring. Also, Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) meets with a possible new client.

General Hospital Spoilers: Carly Spills to Jason

Then Friday, September 25th on General Hospital, Carly is transparent with Jason. I wonder if Carly is worried about Valentin’s feelings for Anna and if she expresses this to Jason since he is close to Anna, you know, maybe to get his take. Also, Jordan wants answers. Now, this might involve Curtis or someone else, but it could also involve Drew and Michael. Speaking of him, he’s got a request for Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), but she rejects it. I’m wondering if Michael wanted Josslyn’s help taking Willow down, maybe using some of her WSB connections or access.

Lulu gets a shock. So, Valentin may actually tell Lulu about Charlotte and Danny’s plan against Drew and that their daughter Charlotte was lurking in Drew’s car after stealing his keys. Brook Lynn gets an assist from Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel). Maybe it’s with Phoebe Chase (Lucia & Luna Creighton) because Chase isn’t around regularly now. Hudson may also be trying to find a sneaky way to get answers out of Brook Lynn about her marriage to Chase and about what this means for Phoebe.

GH Spoilers: Tracy & Michael Target Chase & Willow

September 28th through October 2nd on General Hospital, we’ll see if Tracy and Michael are going to get Willow and Chase in a compromising position and Hudson may consider going after Phoebe soon. We’ll also see what got Jordan so fired up and get more info on Trina’s stalker. We’ll see if Anna ends up going away to get serious help once she sees that Britt is totally terrified of her. Even now, we are going to see Michael and Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) getting closer because Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) still wants some shares. We could also see someone getting closer to Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer).

Sonny’s going to have a hard time leaving the mob behind and that affects things with him and Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor). And unfortunately, Ava gets in deeper with Drew, but realistically, she’d like to cut him loose, but Sonny is pushing Ava to extremes. Brook Lynn fights to keep her marriage, but with Willow already eyeing Chase, this is going to get messy. Someone gets closer to others, and we have a brand new lawyer that’s going to join Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennessy) and Alexis’ law firm. A new lawyer character is going to be joining the team. She is going to meet somebody who needs legal counsel soon and she debuts on Wednesday, September 23rd.

General Hospital Spoilers: Tribute to Billy Miller

On a really sad note, we honor the legacy of Billy Miller. Kelly Monaco posted a letter that Billy Miller, the former portrayer of Drew, had written to her. She had kept this letter private all this time and has now chosen to share it publicly with fans. The letter from Billy says, “Hello friends, with a slight air of sadness, it is time to ponder what goodbye means. However, instead of dwelling on what is gone and sure to be missed, there is another way.”

The letter continues, “Maybe our goodbye is really a remembrance of love felt and appreciation for lives shared and the lifelong reminisces that come from embraces given and received. Maybe our goodbye is an earnest hope for the brightest path forward for us all. Maybe our goodbye is honoring a growth and lessons learned. Now, instead of sadness, I’m filled with gratitude for all your support, encouragement, and every emotion shared. By the way, this letter was meant for you guys, for the General Hospital fans.

Billy said, I cherish the journey we’ve taken together. Thank you for allowing me into your homes and lives with every ounce of myself. I thank you for being you. I would be remiss in this crazy unpredictable world we all love so much if I did not hold out the possibility that maybe our goodbye is really until next time. All my love Billy Miller.” Given that he passed away, this letter holds even deeper meaning and represents his final message to the fans and cast he loved so much.

Jordon Hudson and her football coach boyfriend, Bill Belichick, continue to maintain a united front amid a barrage of controversies.

Hudson showed her support for Belichick and the North Carolina team, smiling as she entered the venue alongside him.

This comes just days after Belichick publicly rejected reports about his girlfriend’s alleged role in the football program, calling them a “flat-out lie.”

Jordon Hudson Attends Another North Carolina Game

Jordon Hudson was spotted showing her support for Bill Belichick and the North Carolina team as they took on the Clemson Tigers over the weekend.

According to the New York Post, the 25-year-old former cheerleader was seen entering the venue with a wide smile alongside her 74-year-old coach boyfriend, Belichick.

She sported a Carolina blue top resembling the school’s game-day ensemble, while he wore a UNC-branded tracksuit.

Hudson has now attended each of UNC’s last two games after missing the season opener last month.

Bill Belichick Denies Claims About Jordon Hudson’s UNC Role

Hudson’s appearance at the game comes amid intense speculation about her role within UNC’s football program.

Speculation intensified after reports suggested she was exerting administrative authority or acting as a general manager within the program, especially after an official email from Belichick showed that she had been copied.

Reports also claimed she was spotted leaving the team’s training facility more than once last year and had an “all-access” card allowing her to enter and leave the stadium.

However, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal last week, Belichick dismissed the claims as a “flat-out lie,” insisting Hudson has no role in the program, as the university previously stated.

“The way the story was picked up was a long way from that,” he said. “Like, ‘She’s trying to be the general manager of the team,’ and it’s so ridiculous.”

Bill Belichick Explains Why Jordon Hudson Was Copied On Emails

3

Belichick went further, clarifying what happened before Hudson was copied on his emails.

The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach explained that he asked university staff to forward non-UNC requests, including those related to his personal appearances, book commitments, and external media projects, to Hudson so they could coordinate his personal schedule.

“When I took the job here, it was December, and at that time I was doing five TV shows, the radio show, I had a book coming out,” he said. “I had a lot of other things going on when I took the job.”

“So, I sent an email when I got here, and I said, ‘Can you please forward any requests to Jordon about my personal appearances so that I can work and coordinate them outside the university?’” Belichick continued. “Didn’t have anything to do with the university. Well, that was leaked and released as ‘Jordon’s involved in every single thing that I do and she’s copied on every email.’ That’s just a flat-out lie.”

Clarifying their current working relationship, he added, “There are some things that she helps me schedule or look at. It’s not North Carolina stuff.”

Bill Belichick Slammed After UNC’s Second-Half Collapse

3

Meanwhile, Belichick has been slammed as being “out of his element” following North Carolina’s second-half collapse against Clemson on the road.

The Tar Heels held a comfortable double-digit lead heading into the second half, leading Clemson 17-6.

However, things quickly turned around as the home team closed the gap to 17-15 near the end of the third quarter before a lengthy weather delay halted the game for hours.

When play resumed, the Clemson Tigers rallied to a 28-20 win, thanks to a Gideon Davidson touchdown and some impressive play from the team.

Fans Declare Bill Belichick ‘Out Of His Element’

Some college football fans took to social media to react to UNC’s second-half collapse, with several suggesting that Belichick had lost his edge.

“I am old enough to remember when the ‘experts’ insisted that Belichick’s name belonged on the Lombardi Trophy,” an X user mocked.

One user said Belichick “has turned UNC into an embarrassing circus,” while another added, “Has-been coach loses to a coach no other college wants.”

“Everyone with a brain saw this coming. Belichick is out of his element,” someone else wrote.

Meghan Markle is surrounding herself with familiar faces and friends after moving back to the U.K. with husband Prince Harry.

Meghan, 45, was photographed for the first time since her return to England on Monday, September 21, at The Three Horseshoes near Burford, Oxfordshire.

The Suits alum was seen meeting up with Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, in new photos published by Page Six.

Meghan opted for a casual look during her first public outing, wearing white jeans, matching white sneakers and a sky blue button down shirt. She let her brown locks flow naturally and added sunglasses to finish off her ensemble.

In one snap, Markle was seen greeting DeGeneres, 68, who relocated to the U.K. in 2024, while she carried a black jacket in her arm.

Meghan was followed by a security guard, who appeared to be carrying a light blue tote bag that belonged to the Duchess of Sussex.

(Meghan and Harry had been living in Montecito, California, since mid-2020.)

News broke on August 26 that the family of four had touched down in the U.K. in time for Archie and Lilibet to start the school year.

A few weeks later, Hello! reported that the young royals had switched schools after just two days following security concerns.

“The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements,” a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan told the publication on September 14. “The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family. This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there.”

A few days earlier, Meghan gave her followers a rare glimpse at how her loved ones were adapting to life across the pond.

The actress shared a video on September 12 walking in the British countryside with Harry, captioning the clip with a union jack and red heart emoji.

Meghan included footage of her children fishing with their father and running and biking in the countryside as they embraced their new surroundings. She also showed one of the kids relaxing by a fire while she stomped around in her wellies in the rain.

The As Ever founder also paid tribute to Harry on September 15 in honor of his birthday.

“He’s simply the best,” Meghan captioned a video via Instagram on the prince’s special day. “Happy birthday, my love ❤️.”

Sylvester Stallone is addressing President Donald Trump’s surprise decision to appoint him as a special ambassador to Hollywood.

“Well, it just happened. I was watching TV one night, and they go, ‘So Stallone and Mel Gibson and Jon Voight will be …’ And I went, ‘What?’” Stallone, 80, recalled to The Sunday Times in an interview published Sunday, September 20. “I said, ‘Excuse me? Really?’ Because if they had asked me in the beginning, I would have said, ‘This is not possible.’”

In January 2025, Trump, 80, named Stallone, Voight, 87, and Gibson, 70, as “Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK — BIGGER, BETTER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!”

At the time, the president said the three actors “will be my eyes and ears” in Hollywood and that he “will get done what they suggest.”

Stallone said he told Trump that the ambassadorship was “impossible” and that he would have rejected the title “if they had asked me in the beginning.”

“Hollywood, I guess it’s like feudal states. They have their little kingdoms,” the actor explained. “You don’t go in and tell six studios how to do things. And Mel Gibson and Jon Voight, we’re kind of do-our-own-thing people. No, it won’t work.”

Stallone continued, “I said, ‘Thank you and ciao’ because it’s impossible. Hollywood works and it will evolve. It’s corporate and corporate people won’t want to hear me tell them about finance.”

Although Stallone has publicly supported Trump and previously introduced him at a Mar-a-Lago party following his 2024 re-election, The Steps author has endorsed politicians from multiple parties.

As he explained, “I am not a political animal. I’m almost a political atheist.”

Us has reached out to the White House for comment.

In a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month, Voight was asked if there will be another golden age in Hollywood.

The actor said he was working to improve the industry during Trump’s term.

“If we get on an even keel with the rest of the world’s tax benefits, if we get that break, there’s going to be an explosion of energy,” he shared. “It will be immediate. As someone mentioned, our business is a shovel-ready business. They will call people tomorrow, people will be getting ready immediately. [Then] it affects the communities they’re working in. Is it going to come back? Yes, I think it’s going to.”

The Young and the Restless spoilers for the two weeks starting September 21st with Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) trying to stay clean but faltering when it comes to something that shakes him. Plus, Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) copes with a dire warning.

Also coming in the two weeks of September 21st through October 2nd, we’re going to have Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) up to something and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) getting frisky on the sly again.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nikki & Vikki Talk Business

Let’s jump in. Monday, September 21st on The Young and the Restless. Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) talks business with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and reminds her they need Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver)’s patents as soon as possible. Nikki’s really looking forward to competing with Jabot, but plans to keep it strictly professional. Of course, Victor is a concern for both Nikki and Victoria, but Nikki thinks Victor will behave. I don’t agree.

Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) talk to Kyle about Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). Then, Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) calls to say the cops still can’t find Patty and that worries Diane. She’s afraid Patty’s going to target them. Nikki shows up and Diane is annoyed when Jack welcomes Nikki into their home. She came to tell Jack she’s launching Vibrante on Valentine’s Day. That seems a little too soon to Jack.

Y&R Spoilers: Diane Flips on Nikki

And then Diane starts ranting at Nikki about Victor unleashing Patty on them again. Diane also thinks Nikki is going to go after Jabot. Nikki leaves and Diane loses it on Jack, accusing him of choosing Nikki over her. Victoria gets a call from Kyle to set up another sexy motel meeting. And Nikki pops up and sees Victoria looking flustered and wonders if she’s sick. Well, what she is actually hot and bothered because of Kyle.

Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) is telling Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) about her chat with Sally, where Chelsea was able to ease Sally’s fears about motherhood a bit. Chelsea and Sally both want to put their messy past behind them. Now, Adam thinks that is great, but he also tells her that it’s just not possible for him and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson). Adam says there’s always going to be an enemies vibe between them.

Elsewhere, Sally tells Billy about her interaction with Chelsea, and Sally stuns Billy when she says she’d like to see Chelsea as one of her bridesmaids. Sally knows it’s a little odd, but she really wants to bury the hatchet. And Billy says pretty much the same thing Adam did. They are never going to be on good terms. Billy is never going to get past the role Adam played in Delia’s death years ago. But Billy is on board with Sally being friends with Chelsea and her being in the wedding as long as Adam’s not there.

Young and Restless Spoilers: Sally Shocks Chelsea

So, Chelsea gets a call from Sally to meet. So Adam takes off and Chelsea’s first thought is she upsets Sally, but she promises Chelsea that is not the case. Sally instead asked Chelsea to be her bridesmaid and she says yes, but they are just a little worried about how Adam and Audra are going to react to this huge development.

Billy and Adam cross paths and take shots at each other. Billy stuns Adam with the news that Sally wants Chelsea to be a bridesmaid. Billy makes it clear that Adam is not invited to the wedding, but he tells Billy he will be there if Chelsea asks him, and Billy warns Adam not to ruin Sally’s wedding day.

Y&R Spoilers: Matt Puzzles Phyllis

Tuesday, September 22nd on The Young and the Restless. Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is confused by Matt Clark (Roger Howarth)’s change of heart. She is at Matt’s motel room door looking a little annoyed. He told Phyllis he was going to leave town and take Patty with him so everybody would be safe from Patty. And yet here we have Matt still in Genoa City.

Nate Hastings (Sean Dominic) and Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) define their relationship. They are getting closer but are going to take a short pause because Vivica Fox is soon going out to shoot a movie. Stephanie will be back very soon and then she is going to resume this romance with Nate. They’ve already been intimate and things are going to move forward very soon.

Claire Newman (Hayley Erin) is hit with a painful reminder of her troubled past. So, this reminder is about her psycho great aunt Jordan Howard (Colleen Zenk) who killed herself. That was back in January 2025 when she intentionally drank poisoned tea. So, Claire’s looking at her phone and Victoria asks, “What is wrong?” Claire says she’s back. Aunt Jordan strikes again. I loved Colleen Zenk on The Young and the Restless, but I do hope that Claire’s crazy aunt is not coming back from the dead. Fans would flip. Fortunately, The Young and the Restless really doesn’t do a whole lot of resurrections.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Cane Steps Up

Wednesday, September 23rd on The Young and the Restless. Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) goes to great lengths for Billy. We know Cane and Billy are sort of brothers, so I wonder if Cane might offer to let Kyle and Jack throw Billy’s bachelor party at the GCAC. Maybe Sally’s bachelorette, too. Cane may even offer to cover the cost.

Audra is blindsided by Sally, so she tells her that Chelsea is going to take Chloe Mitchell (Elizabeth Hendrickson) place as a bridesmaid. Audra is going to flip and give Sally a harsh warning. Audra says she’s in Sally’s corner, but Audra doesn’t want Sally to make this huge mistake for Chelsea. You know, we’re going to see Adam make this sacrifice. And he tells Chelsea he supports her being Sally’s bridesmaid and said he will stay home from the wedding so he doesn’t make things awkward for Sally or cause a scene with Billy.

Young and Restless Spoilers: Kyle Surprises Victoria

Thursday, September 24th, Victoria is kept on her toes by Kyle. So, he and Victoria meet up for some more sexy time at the motel. And I suspect Victoria is doing something with her toes because Kyle is in control this time. Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) eases up on Phyllis. I suspect this has something to do with Matt and Phyllis wanting to prove he’s a good guy now.

Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) makes a much needed visit. The fall preview says Ashley and Tracy have differing opinions of Sally. So, I wonder if it’s Ashley that doesn’t care for Sally or the other way around. Tracy shows up at Billy and Sally’s place and Billy ask what Tracy’s doing there and if everything’s okay. And she wants Billy to tell her if something is wrong. So, we’ll see what’s on Tracy’s mind.

Y&R Spoilers: Jack’s Vow & Nick’s Dilemma

Friday, September 25th on The Young and the Restless, we have got Victor helping Nikki get ready for success. This is with Vibrante. But I’m also sure this is just a way for Victor to target Jabot. Jack makes a vow to Diane, and we may see Jack promising Diane he’ll put her feelings above his friendship with Nikki, but come on, Jack isn’t going to do that.

Also, Nick asks for Sharon Newman (Sharon Case)’s help with a difficult decision. I don’t think it’s work related because Nick already talked Newman business with the family. I tend to think this might be about Marie Kirkland (Jade Harlow). So, we may see Nick asking Sharon about his thoughts, wondering if he should go look for Marie because he is worried about her.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Matt Stays or Goes?

Then the week of September 28th through October 2nd on The Young and the Restless, we’re going to see if Matt decides to stay in Genoa City and if he is going to fully commit to Phyllis. But I think Patty is going to be an ongoing issue. Victoria and Kyle keep sneaking around, but we know that somebody’s going to bust them.

We’ll find out what kind of reminder that Claire gets about Jordan. And we may see Nick trying to track Marie down, which I bet Nick’s family does not want. We’ll see what Psycho Patty’s next move is and who she targets first. Sally and Billy keep preparing for their wedding as it gets closer and closer. Also, there’s been talk of a Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) recast, so I’m going to keep an eye on that for you guys.

Plus, Diane really struggles with her worries about Patty being a threat and also Victor and Nikki being a threat to Jabot and to the Abbotts and specifically to Jack. Also, I think we are going to see Victor plotting against Jabot. I think he’s gonna find a way to weaponize Vibrante and I think he’s going to do all of this behind Nikki’s back. And Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) is back soon because Cait Fairbanks is taping again.
