Alexandra Artrip Addresses Practical Magic 2 Recasting
Practical Magic star Alexandra Artrip has opened up about her character being recast for the film’s sequel.
“I love hearing your stories and connections to the film, but … I see them going on a lot of content around the sequel,” Artrip, 36, said in a Thursday, September 3, Instagram video after her OG costar Evan Rachel Wood claimed that nobody from the original film reached out to her about her own recasting.
“I think the sentiment is right. People are trying to show support for Evan and myself and the original film and everything that it’s meant to so many people, but I just don’t want my stuff to be a space for negativity,” Artrip, who has retired from acting, continued. “Maisie [Williams] and Joey [King] are lovely actresses, and I’m sure the production team did what they thought was best for the film to be successful.” (Williams, 29, and King, 27, replace Artrip and Wood’s characters in Practical Magic 2.)
She added, “I just think we should support the film, give it a shot, go in with an open mind and nothing can take away from what the original film was and I’m excited that we’re able to build on that world with a new novel and new content in 2026, and that it’s given me a space to revisit all of those beloved memories to many years later.”
Artrip, who portrayed one of Sandra Bullock’s character Sally Owens’ daughters in the 1998 original, addressed the upcoming sequel one day after Wood, 38, took to her own Instagram account to address the casting decision. “I really appreciated Joey King reaching out to me because no one who worked on the original film did. She’s a sweetheart,” Wood, who portrayed another Owens sister, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, September 1.
King had told The Hollywood Reporter at the Los Angeles premiere of Practical Magic 2 on Monday, August 31, that she’d shared a “lovely” conversation with Wood about taking on the role. “I just was so appreciative of the support that she showed to me and to the rest of the cast. She is so talented and so beautiful and she made this role so special when she was a young girl,” King said at the time. “I feel so grateful to be able to play Kylie at this age but I love Evan so much and I’m so appreciative of her kind words and the exchange that her and I shared.”

Wood confirmed in July 2025 via her Instagram Stories that she wouldn’t be returning as Kylie Owens in Practical Magic 2. “I am getting asked about this a lot, so l’ll just clear it up now; I was not asked to come back and be in the Practical Magic sequel. l offered my services, even if it was one scene or one line. I was told they are recasting,” she wrote at the time. “I am sorry to disappoint the fans. It was not in my control or my choice. I would have happily rejoined my sisters.”

One month later, she said during an interview with Entertainment Weekly that she believes the decision came down to where the sequel’s story was headed. “I read the book and it seems like they’re not following the book,” Wood told the outlet. “I think in the book it would have made sense to bring me back; I think in the way they’re redoing it and approaching it, it didn’t make sense.”

15 Most Quotable Fantasy Movies of All Time, Ranked
There are few movies more quotable than fantasy movies. These grand stories, full of rich imagination, set in grand fictional worlds with complex magic systems and mythical creatures of wonder, typically lend themselves to fun, memorable dialogue. Oftentimes, these lines of dialogue go down in movie history as some of the medium’s most iconic, cementing fantasy as the perfect place for quotes that are inspiring, or funny, or badass, or all of those things at once.
Whether it’s a huge fantasy franchise like the Harry Potter movies, or a one-off classic like It’s a Wonderful Life, the most quotable fantasy movies usually couple their memorable lines of dialogue with colorful, vibrant characters and engrossing world-building. This ensures that, if anything, these films will go down in history as some of the most entertaining ever made.
15
‘Conan the Barbarian’ (1982)
Most iconic quote: “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”
Based on the sword-and-sorcery hero Conan created by Robert E. Howard, one of the biggest icons in the history of pulp magazines, Conan the Barbarian represented Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s breakout role as a leading Hollywood action hero. By proving that the sword-and-sorcery genre could be big, brutal, and serious, Conan became one of the R-rated fantasy movies that changed the genre forever.
There are plenty of reasons why it has been one of the most widely beloved fantasy and action movies of the ’80s for years, not least of which is the quotability of the script co-written by Oliver Stone and director John Milius. Dialogue throughout the movie is relatively sparse, but that stoicism is precisely what lends so many of the script’s most memorable lines such dramatic weight.
14
‘The Emperor’s New Groove’ (2000)
Most iconic quote: “Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco’s poison. That poison?”
Often, it’s fantasy comedies that end up going down in history as some of the genre’s most quotable films; and often, it’s family comedies that end up having the most memorable dialogue. Case in point: Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove, one of the first movies the House of Mouse released after the end of the period now known as the Disney Renaissance.
Originally envisioned as a dramatic epic musical, Emperor’s New Groove ended up transforming into the delightfully comedic buddy film that allowed it to become one of Disney’s biggest animated cult classics. From Kuzco and Pacha’s hilarious banter to the deliciously villainous lines delivered by Eartha Kitt‘s Yzma, the movie is full of snappy dialogue that has endured with the rise of meme culture in the years following the film’s release.
13
‘Army of Darkness’ (1992)
Most iconic quote: “You see this? This… is my Boomstick!”
Sam Raimi‘s The Evil Dead didn’t just catapult the young director’s career; it altogether revolutionized low-budget horror filmmaking. Its sequel, Evil Dead II, proved to be every bit as inventive and successful. And with Army of Darkness, Raimi brought the franchise squarely into dark fantasy territory with an even more overt sense of humor than ever before.
Precisely thanks to that sense of humor, Army of Darkness is one of the most fun horror movies of all time, as well as one of the most quotable. From “this is my boomstick!” to Ash’s iconic catchphrase “groovy,” the film is full of lines both amusing and badass, which only add to how utterly unforgettable the whole movie is.
12
‘Labyrinth’ (1986)
Most iconic quote: “You remind me of the babe.”
Directed by Jim Henson and starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly in what’s perhaps both their most iconic big-screen roles, Labyrinth received a mixed critical reception and underperformed at the box office upon release. In the years since, however, it has come to be recognized not just as one of the biggest Hollywood cult classics of the ’80s, but also one of the most irresistibly entertaining musical movies ever made.
Whether it’s the songs or the spoken dialogue, Labyrinth is filled to the brim with quotable lines that have been a paragon of Internet pop culture for years. The dialogue and song lyrics themselves are already abundantly bombastic in isolation, but the way Bowie and Connelly deliver those lines with gleeful theatricality elevates the entire film even further.
11
‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’ (1971)
Most iconic quote: “You get nothing! You lose! Good day, sir!”
One of the most brilliantly subversive family movies of all time, Mel Stuart‘s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory may have been hated by Roald Dahl upon release (then again, not that Dahl ever approved of any cinematic adaptation of his work), but cinephiles throughout the years have never stopped considering it one of the most magical family movies ever made.
Reasons to love Willy Wonka are abundant, and the iconicity and memorability of its dialogue is certainly no small reason. It’s primarily the lines delivered by Gene Wilder as Wonka himself that have gone down in history as some of the fantasy genre’s most commonly quoted, but pretty much the entire script penned by David Seltzer and Dahl himself is full of unforgettable lines of dialogue.
10
‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl’ (2003)
Most iconic quote: “This is the day you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!”
Based on the iconic Disneyland attraction, the Pirates of the Caribbean series proved that, when they put enough love and passion into it, Disney could really make an awesome movie out of any concept. The first film is Curse of the Black Pearl, where a blacksmith teams up with an eccentric pirate to save his love from the pirate’s former allies, who are now undead monsters.
Curse of the Black Pearl is one of the best and most entertaining pirate swashbucklers in the history of movies, packed with creativity, humor, great action, and some genuinely scary moments. What’s most memorable and fun about the whole film, though, is arguably the presence of Johnny Depp’s bombastic Captain Jack Sparrow, who has most of the best quotes in the series. Curse of the Black Pearl is wonderfully written, and that includes some super strong dialogue that bolsters the story, world, and characters remarkably well.
9
‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ (1946)
Most iconic quote: “Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.”
Frank Capra‘s It’s a Wonderful Life is so much more than just the quintessential Christmas classic. Part endearing rom-com, part profoundly moving character drama, part complex exploration of depression and suicide in men, it’s far and away one of the best movies of Hollywood’s Golden Age. It’s the story of George Bailey, a frustrated businessman who thinks the world would be better off without him. So, an angel is sent from Heaven to show him what life would have been like if he had never been born.
A huge part of what makes It’s a Wonderful Life one of the most uplifting drama movies in history is the outstanding screenplay, which has an emotionally riveting story, an engrossing protagonist, and a formidable villain. It also includes some of the most quotable dialogue of this era of Hollywood, from Clarence the angel’s delightful bits of wisdom to George and his wife Mary’s many romantic conversations.
8
‘Toy Story’ (1995)
Most iconic quote: “To infinity and beyond!”
When Pixar released Toy Story, the first-ever fully CG-animated feature film in history, the animated film industry changed forever. This is one of the most iconic stories of ’90s cinema, about a cowboy toy who feels jealous when a new spaceman action figure supplants him as his owner’s favorite toy. Thus, the legendary filmography of the king of animation studios kicked off.
Toy Story sparked three (soon to be four) sequels, all of them with phenomenal dialogue, but no Pixar movie is more quotable than this one. Funny moments, like Woody reminding Buzz that he’s only a toy; profound scenes, like the duo’s heart-to-heart conversations in the third act; and, of course, larger-than-life quotes that have become staples of pop culture all make this delightful little family movie endlessly quotable.
7
The ‘Harry Potter’ Series
Most iconic quote: “Always.”
There are very few fantasy movie franchises more popular, better-known, or more beloved than the Harry Potter films. Throughout these eight magical movies, fans got to grow up alongside this orphaned boy who finds out that not only is he a wizard—he’s an awfully powerful one, too, destined to become the only person who can stop the evil Lord Voldemort from rising to power in the Wizarding World.
As much as it’s known for its endearing characters, thrilling moments, and many entertaining storylines, all eight Harry Potter films are popular for their delightfully fun dialogue. They go from the funny, to the romantic, to the badass, to the simply unforgettable. Every character in the franchise has a very distinct way of speaking, and as a result, every few quotes that they spoke throughout the films instantly became a whole pillar of fantasy pop culture.
6
‘Shrek’ (2001)
Most iconic quote: “We can stay up late swapping manly stories, and in the morning, I’m making waffles!”
There aren’t many movie moments more magical than hearing “Some…BODY” and the kick in the door that opens the story of DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek. Winner of the first Best Animated Feature Oscar ever, it’s a fairy tale comedy about an ogre who, after his swamp home is taken over by fairy tale creatures who have been evicted by a mean lord, must go on a quest to rescue a princess in order to get his land back.
Shrek has everything that anyone could ask for in a family movie. Plenty of fun moments and amusing jokes to charm the little ones? Check. A surprisingly even larger number of hidden adult jokes and clever deconstructions of the fairy tale movie genre? Check. Some of the greatest, most quotable lines in animated movie history? Definitely check. Awesome music, hilarious jokes, and a number of emotional moments make Shrek one of the best animated films of the 21st century, all memes aside.

‘The Legend of Zelda’ Officially Celebrates 40th Anniversary With New Release Next Month
All eyes are on Nintendo, and specifically, The Legend of Zelda, as the year enters its final stretch. While Grand Theft Auto VI is undoubtedly the blockbuster gaming release of the fall, set to land with a seismic impact on November 19, the company could still change the landscape of the season fairly notably depending on when it officially dates its Ocarina of Time remake. Tuesday, September 8, should finally answer when the much-anticipated game will arrive this year thanks to a special 40th anniversary Nintendo Direct celebrating a milestone year in Zelda’s history. However, even before the future of the fantasy adventure series is explored, one release is already dated to commemorate the special occasion.
Earlier this year, Nintendo unveiled The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — Secrets of the Zonai, a new hardcover artbook full of illustrations, insights by the creative team, and Hyrule history from the surface to the sky islands and the titular Zonai themselves. Spanning 472 pages, the book primarily shows the perspective of the developers, with exclusive “behind-the-scenes sketches, notes, rough designs, concept art, and recollections” from throughout the process of bringing the game to life. However, over 80 pages are dedicated to expanding the lore of Tears of the Kingdom, specifically unfurling the past of the Zonai civilization leading up to the beginning of the Breath of the Wild sequel. The cherry on top of this collection is new interviews with producer Eiji Aonuma, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, and art director Satoru Takizawa, going further in-depth on the creation.
The wait for Secrets of the Zonai won’t be much longer, as it’s locked in to hit store shelves on October 20. Pre-orders are already open for either the standard hardcover at $59.99 or the Hero Edition, which features a few extra goodies, including a green slipcase containing the book with a special green cover, an art print featuring Link with the sages, a cloth map of the depths, and a replica of the Secret Stone of Time. Picking up this version courtesy of Dark Horse Books will be costly, though, coming in at $119.99.
What Else Is Expected at ‘The Legend of Zelda’s 40th Anniversary Direct?
Between Secrets of the Zonai and the anniversary direct, Nintendo still has a lot left in store as The Legend of Zelda‘s 40th birthday year comes to a close. The upcoming presentation, however, should have a lot to say about where the franchise is going in the near future. Ocarina of Time will undoubtedly be a big part of their showcase, but it’s also likely to be where Nintendo provides a new look at the upcoming The Legend of Zelda movie from Wes Ball. Last month, the rest of the main cast was revealed, with Uli Latukefu joining Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason as the evil warlock, Ganondorf, alongside Yvonne Strahovski, Dichen Lachman, and the late great Sam Neill in his final role. With the film due to be released on April 30 next year, a trailer isn’t out of the question. It remains to be seen if the gaming giant will also tease a proper new game for the Nintendo Switch 2 era, considering it’s been three years since Tears of the Kingdom.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom — Secrets of the Zonai is available to pre-order now ahead of its release on October 20. Check out the cover and Hero Editions in the gallery above.

Ana Navarro Asks for Grace Over Expired Botox, Gray Roots
As the 30th season of The View approaches, cohost Ana Navarro is admitting she’s neglected her usual self-grooming habits.
“You all, The View begins September 8 and here’s the problem, I have done no self-grooming or self-care for almost a month and a half. So, I’m asking you for a little grace and time to get myself together, like, maybe give me a week after I go on live TV,” Navarro, 54, told fans in a Saturday, September 5, Instagram video before sharing nitty gritty details from her beauty to-do list.
“You see this? This is gray hair that I haven’t been able to color. You see these eyebrows? They are like the tails of squirrels, I have not had them plucked or waxed in over a month. You see these nails? There’s, like … a half inch growth going on here that I haven’t been able to take care of,” the political journalist and commentator hilariously revealed.
She continued, “Upper lip … Botox … lip filler … none of this is happening. This is how I’m going to go on TV [on] September 8. I am just forewarning you.”
A caption on the post further expanded Navarro’s list. “My feet are even worse. My Botox expired like a month ago. I haven’t worn spanx — hell, I’ve hardly worn a bra — in almost two months,” she wrote. “Haven’t blow-dried my hair or put on make-up. Don’t even remember what it feels like to wear fake eye-lashes, push-up bras and hair extensions. I’ve been wearing loose-fitting kaftans, not come close to a scale and have been eating like a condemned person. I can’t remember the last time I wore high-heels.”
The TV personality then reiterated that she’s looking for fan patience as the daytime talk show returns for a landmark season. “Cut me some slack. What you see is what you get. Take a little time to enjoy the natural view,” she concluded.
Fans and celebrity friends, including fellow CNN journalist Don Lemon, showed their support for Navarro’s candor in her video’s comments section. “And still gorgeous. You’ve been living. Congratulations. Btw, I cut my own hair and nails this summer. Ate whatever I wanted and the only makeup I’ve had on was when ladies kissed my cheeks. No more tv makeup for me,” Lemon, 60, wrote. Another follower wrote, “It’s called … being on HOLIDAY!!!!”
In other season 30 news, former host Rosie O’Donnell may return to screens as a guest throughout the series. O’Donnell, 64, claimed on the Monday, August 3, episode of “The Tangle” podcast that ABC are “bringing back all the hosts.”
She added, “And you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics. [It] was not the case when I first joined.”
A return was later clarified by her rep who told Entertainment Weekly that a “formal ask” from the network has not been issued to O’Donnell.

North West’s Big Night Puts Kim And Kanye Back Together
North West reached a major milestone over the weekend as she stepped into the spotlight for her first solo concert, drawing a packed crowd eager to see the teenager perform music from her growing catalog.
The sold-out event at Chicago’s Vic Theatre marked another step in North’s emergence as a young entertainer.
However, while the night belonged to the 13-year-old performer, it also brought her famous parents under the same roof, creating a notable family dynamic behind the scenes.
Long before the first song began, excitement had already filled the historic Chicago venue. According to Page Six, fans packed into The Vic Theatre to watch North West perform tracks from her debut EP, “N0rth4evr,” with concertgoers standing shoulder to shoulder as they waited for the show to begin.
Kim Kardashian later shared glimpses of the atmosphere on Instagram Stories, showing the sold-out crowd and the energy inside the theater.
As the performance got underway, fans jumped and cheered while North delivered several songs from the project.
The concert also reportedly featured unreleased material, giving attendees an early look at music that has yet to be officially released.
While North was the center of attention onstage, many eyes were also on her parents in the audience. Despite attending the same event to support their daughter, Kardashian and Kanye West appeared determined to keep their distance.
Videos from inside the venue showed the former couple watching the concert from separate balcony sections. Kanye, accompanied by members of his crew, spent much of the performance recording North’s set and closely following the show. Across the venue, Kardashian watched from a different balcony alongside friends.
North’s Canceled Tour Left Fans Wondering What Happened Next
After proving she could command a packed Chicago venue on her own, many fans were reminded that North West’s solo concert came just weeks after a major setback in her young career.
Before the Chicago show, the teenager had been scheduled to embark on the Kimokawaii Tour with rapper Molly Santana, a run that would have marked her first headlining tour. Instead, the entire trek was abruptly scrapped days before it was set to begin.
The cancellation sparked immediate speculation online because no detailed explanation was provided.
As The Blast reported, North eventually addressed the situation herself, telling fans, “I was really excited to go on tour with Molly Santana, sadly it isn’t happening anymore, but I have something special for you guys, see you soon.”
North West Took Unusual Control Of Her Debut EP ‘N0rth4evr’
Long before she headlined a solo concert, North was already making a statement behind the scenes.
Her debut EP was not simply another celebrity-kid release backed by famous parents. According to reports, North took a remarkably hands-on role in creating the project.
The six-track EP arrived in May and immediately stood out because North reportedly produced every song herself.
Industry observers noted that the project placed her own creative vision at the center rather than relying entirely on outside producers.
Reviewers also pointed out how the music diverged from expectations. One critique praised the EP for carving out an identity separate from Kanye’s musical legacy, describing it as a project driven by experimentation, curiosity, and individuality.

North Wants A Starbucks Job Despite Family Fame
Away from her music career, North West was already making headlines for comments she made about life away from the spotlight.
During an August interview with Dazed, the 13-year-old surprised readers by revealing that despite growing up in one of entertainment’s most famous families, she still wanted to experience an ordinary job.
When asked what she would be doing if she were not pursuing music, North responded, “I still wanna work. I wanna work at, like, Starbucks next year.” She added, “I think I can next year ‘cause I’m gonna be 14.” North then explained, “I want to have a regular job, I guess.”
The interview also revealed that North remained focused on music. Rejecting suggestions that she should wait before pursuing her ambitions, she said, “It’s like, nah, this is my hobby, this is what I like to do, this is what I wanna do with my life.”
North West’s Dazed Cover Sparks Parenting Debate
North’s Dazed magazine cover generated even more discussion than her comments about Starbucks.
The photoshoot featured the teenager with bright blue hair, grills, dramatic styling, and multiple facial and hand piercings, prompting debate on social media about whether the imagery was appropriate for a 13-year-old.
Many critics focused on Kim Kardashian and Kanye West rather than on North herself. Political commentator Megyn Kelly publicly criticized the parents, accusing them of pushing their daughter into the spotlight too quickly.
“Does North West have good parents? Because she is on the cover of this British quarterly magazine right now with false teeth, like a grill situation, blue hair, all these facial piercings,” Kelly questioned on her podcast.
“Look at this,” she said in disbelief as the cover flashed on screen. “She is almost exactly the same age as my son Thatcher, who was born in July in 2013. North was born June of 2013.”
On the other hand, other users defended North, arguing that experimentation with fashion and personal style was common during adolescence.
Child psychologist Tanya Forster noted that teenagers often used clothing, hairstyles, and appearance to explore their identities and stressed that parents should balance guidance with allowing self-expression.

Rob Reiner Breaks His Father’s Emmy Record
Rob Reiner has received a posthumous Emmy for his role in “The Bear,” several months after his tragic death at 78 years old. The late actor and filmmaker won Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys, marking his third Emmy and breaking a record previously held by his father, actor and screenwriter Carl Reiner.

The Creative Arts Emmy Awards were held on September 5 and 6, celebrating specialized performers and production professionals whose work helps bring TV productions to life.
On the second night of the prestigious event, late filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner was posthumously awarded for Outstanding Guest in a Comedy Series for “The Bear,” nearly nine months after his death on December 14, 2025. He was honored with a standing ovation from the audience.
Reiner bested nominees Michael J. Fox (Shrinking), Brett Goldstein (Shrinking), Hamish Linklater (Widow’s Bay), Christopher McDonald (Hacks), and Connor Storrie (Saturday Night Live).
Reiner’s win marks the first posthumous Emmy for an on-camera performance since Puerto Rican actor Raúl Juliá won in 1995 for the drama film “The Burning Season.”
Presenter Wendi McLendon-Covey accepted the award on the filmmaker’s behalf, saying, “We all wish he was here,” per Deadline.
The Filmmaker Broke His Father’s Emmy Record
The posthumous achievement marked Reiner’s third Emmy win. In 1974 and 1978, he won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his portrayal of Michael “Mike” Stivic in the sitcom “All in the Family.”
Reiner now holds the Emmy record for the longest gap between acting wins, spanning 48 years. The record was previously held by his father, Carl Reiner.
Carl had a legendary television career, earning 18 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and winning 11 times in various categories, including acting, producing, and writing. Looking strictly at the acting category, the longest gap between his wins was 37 years, with Best Supporting Actor wins in 1958 for “Caesar’s Hour” and in 1995 for “Mad About You.”
Jamie Lee Curtis Urged The Filmmaker To Take ‘The Bear’ Role
Losing my mind that Jess’ parents are Jamie Lee Curtis and Rob Reiner, this is the best day. pic.twitter.com/Nffad94fSo
— Matt Brown (@CallMeMatt88) November 13, 2021
Reiner and Jamie Lee Curtis were close friends. The actress’s husband, Christopher Guest, co-wrote and starred in the filmmaker’s 1984 movie, “This Is Spinal Tap.” Reiner and Curtis also starred as Jess’s divorced parents in “New Girl.”
In “The Bear,” Curtis played Donna, the volatile mother of the Berzatto siblings. When Reiner was approached to guest in the series, he wasn’t so sure about taking on the role. However, Curtis convinced him. “She said, ‘No, you’ve got to do it! It’s really fun’,” Reiner told PEOPLE.
Curtis was right, and the filmmaker ended up having fun on set. “It was so much fun to do. It’s fun to act, and I love it because there are no worries. You just show up and do your work,” he said, adding that he didn’t need to read the script before agreeing to be in the show.
‘The Bear’ Honored Rob Reiner With A Famous Line From His Movie
Rob Reiner’s character in “The Bear,” Albert Schnur, was introduced in Season 4 of the series. He was a restaurant and business consultant who worked closely with Ebra (Edwin Lee Gibson).
Reports suggest that Reiner was supposed to return for the show’s fifth season, but he died before filming began, and his character was only featured in off-screen calls with Ebra.
In the series finale, Ebra calls Albert to share exciting news about the franchise’s plan moving forward. Albert’s voice is not heard, but Ebra listens intently and, with a smile, says, “As you wish.”
The line is taken from Reiner’s 1987 movie, “The Princess Bride,” in which Westley repeatedly says “As you wish” to Buttercup. She later realizes that it’s his way of saying “I love you.”
Nick Reiner’s Trial Date Has Not Been Set

Reiner’s son, Nick, stands accused of murdering his parents, who died of multiple sharp-force injuries. On December 14, Rob and Michelle Reiner’s daughter, Romy, discovered them deceased in their LA home. Nick was arrested in connection with the case hours later.
Nick is charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances. Due to the “lying in wait” and “multiple murders,” he is eligible for the death penalty, though prosecutors have not announced whether they are seeking capital punishment.
He is being held without bond at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles while awaiting trial. Nick has pleaded not guilty and currently has an ongoing civil case to access his $1.5 million family trust.

90 Day Fiance’s Catie Walks Off in Shocking Tell-All Teaser
90 Day Fiancé fans should prepare themselves for another wild and unpredictable tell-all special.
TLC released the official trailer for the shocking 90 Day Fiancé season 12 reunion on Sunday, September 6, and once again the drama is palpable.
As the cast heads to New York City to meet and mingle, Catie Norboe is put in the hot seat after she enjoys a few tequila shots during a night out. At one point she tells a man — who is not her partner — that she’d “love to make out.”
“Don’t you think he’s embarrassed by you kissing other people?” Ashia Montgomery asks Catie as she sits alongside her partner, Josh Atkins.
Not taking the questioning well, Catie begins snapping at Josh before walking off in tears.
“I can do whatever I want. I don’t have to listen to you,” she says. “I think I do better on my own. I don’t want to talk to them ever again.”
Shea McGuire and Annabelle Chua are also forced to answer some tough questions. During the tell-all, host Shaun Robinson asks Shea what his relationship is like with his ex-wife Nicole today.
“I spoke with her on the phone a couple of times,” he replies calmly.

Viewers will soon find out how true that statement is when Shaun brings out a surprise guest.
“Well, there is some behavior of Shea that was inappropriate,” she claims. “Please welcome Shea’s ex-wife, Nicole.”
When Annabelle asks Nicole why she is here, she replies, “He’s not a faithful man. I have all of these things that I can show.”
Despite the tough round of questioning, the cast is able to have a little bit of fun. Raşit Kebabci’s partner, Mallorie DeGrange, tries to lighten the mood when she asks the ladies to play an innocent game.

“I’m going to give you three names,” she says. “You have to say, ‘f***, marry or kill: Rasit, Mido, Edward.”
Catie is quick to participate — and not name her partner — when she replies, “Marry Edward, f*** Mido because he’s hot and sorry I would [chuck] Rasit.”
Cameras also roll when Raşit Kebabci meets several of his costars for the first time.
Mido doesn’t appear to be exactly thrilled to meet the outspoken reality star, while Thomas claims he gets just a little too close.
“It was a forceful hug to rub his perfume on me,” he claims. “Your smell is an invasion.”
The 90 Day Fiancé season 12 tell-all begins on TLC Sunday, September 13 at 8 p.m. ET.

Andrew Garfield Faces Heat Over His Billionaire Warning
Andrew Garfield expected conversations about class struggle when he signed on for “The Uprising.” However, what he may not have expected was becoming part of the debate himself.
The actor found himself facing criticism online after remarks he made during a Los Angeles screening of the historical drama spread across social media.
While Garfield was discussing the film’s themes of inequality and power, some viewers argued that his comments rang hollow coming from one of Hollywood’s highest-paid stars.
Set against the backdrop of England’s 1381 Peasants’ Revolt, “The Uprising” explores a period of social unrest that followed the Black Death.
The story examines how crushing taxes imposed by King Richard II’s government to finance the Hundred Years’ War pushed ordinary people toward rebellion.
During a question-and-answer session at a Los Angeles screening, Andrew Garfield and director Paul Greengrass discussed what they hoped audiences would take away from the project.
When asked what message he wanted viewers to leave with, the 43-year-old said he hoped the film would resonate beyond its historical setting.
“Well, first I hope they come and see it, first thing,” Garfield said in a video uploaded by The Movie Report, adding, “Secondly, I hope it’s galvanizing. I hope there’s some awakening that people feel … that we all feel like our own struggles are being reflected in the struggles of these characters from a distant time and place and that it could be directive.”
Garfield plays a fictional character known as Ploughman, while Cosmo Jarvis portrays real-life rebel leader Wat Tyler, one of the most prominent figures associated with the uprising.
The discussion took a different turn when Andrew Garfield added a remark that quickly became the focus of online conversation.
“And I hope that if any billionaires watch it, they’re scared sh–less,” he stated.
The comment immediately attracted criticism from social media users who questioned whether the “Spider-Man: No Way Home” actor was the right messenger for anti-billionaire rhetoric.
Critics pointed to Garfield’s own financial success and the role wealthy investors and studio executives play in financing major film productions.
Among those responding was former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, who challenged Garfield’s statement in a post on X. “You mean…like the billionaires who greenlight your movies and stroke all your multi-million dollar paychecks? Or they good?” Pratt wrote.
Pratt followed up his criticism by noting Garfield’s recent casting as OpenAI chief Sam Altman in the upcoming film “Artificial.” “Ironically, Garfield just got paid like $5M for playing billionaire Sam Altman in Artificial,” he added.

Spencer Pratt wasn’t the only public figure who took issue with Garfield’s remarks. Several commentators argued that the Hollywood star’s comments conflicted with the realities of modern Hollywood.
Rick Davis, an associate pastor at Providence Church in Virginia, questioned the direction of the project itself.
“When I first heard they were making a period film about Wat Tyler, I was pretty excited. But the more Andrew Garfield talks, the more it sounds like it’s just going to be socialist garbage,” Davis shared per Page Six.
Substack columnist John William Sherrod also weighed in, writing, “Hilarious that world-famous, multi, multi millionaire Andrew Garfield is cosplaying as a put upon member of the working class.”
Meanwhile, Tablet Magazine chief technology officer Noam Blum added, “More billionaires were involved in making this than will probably ever watch it.”

Garfield Revives Longstanding Push For A Gay Spider-Man

A few days before Andrew Garfield’s comments at “The Uprising” screening, another set of remarks from the actor drew attention for a very different reason.
While promoting the historical drama, Garfield revisited an idea he first raised more than a decade ago: the possibility of a gay Spider-Man.
Rather than introducing a new argument, he reaffirmed a position he originally shared in 2013 during the promotion of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2.”
Looking back on that earlier conversation, Garfield said he still believed the character’s appeal came from the fact that anyone could see themselves behind the mask. “I just still believe that anyone can be in that suit,” he explained to Entertainment Weekly, while discussing the superhero’s enduring popularity.
Garfield’s comments revived discussion about statements he made years ago when he openly questioned why Peter Parker could not explore his sexuality. At the time, he even floated the idea of Michael B. Jordan portraying a male version of Mary Jane’s role in the story.
The conversation also showcased how much the Spider-Man universe has evolved since Garfield last headlined the franchise.
While no live-action Spider-Man has been portrayed as openly gay, Marvel introduced Web-Weaver, an openly gay Spider-Man variant, in the comics in 2022.
Andrew Garfield Reveals His Unusual Post-Filming Ritual

Away from the debate surrounding “The Uprising” and the renewed Spider-Man discussion, Garfield also offered a more personal glimpse into how he copes with the demands of his work.
The star admitted that filming Paul Greengrass’ gritty historical drama took a significant emotional toll, making it important for him to find ways to decompress after long days on set.
Speaking to PEOPLE at the film’s Los Angeles premiere on September 2, Garfield revealed that his preferred method of unwinding is surprisingly simple.
“I watch dumb movies. I watch dumb TV shows. I have a lot of dumb things,” he said before quickly clarifying that one favorite does not belong in that category at all.
“Right now, always, the Paddington movies,” Garfield explained. He immediately corrected himself, adding, “But they’re not dumb! They’re incredible movies.”

Gael Cameron’s Son Will Get Her Through Ex Nathan’s Arrest
Below Deck Mediterranean’s Gael Cameron is discussing how she’s coping after ex-boyfriend Nathan Gallagher’s 2025 domestic violence arrest.
“I’ve been sitting here trying to find the perfect quote to encapsulate this photo, but I realized there isn’t one. Just the water and him. Two things that can get me through absolutely anything in this life,” Cameron, 30, captioned a Sunday, September 6, Instagram carousel that showed her in the surf with son Kayden, 14 months, whom she shares with Gallagher, 28. “In this moment I feel happy again 🩵.”
Cameron, who Us confirmed filed an Apprehended Violence Application against Gallagher in Australia in December 2025, also noted that the photos were snapped after her fellow Bravo star’s arrest. “@seathroughthelensphotography you are a legend and [a] half for capturing these in the middle of winter for bub’s first birthday,” the reality star continued. (An AVO is an Australian legal order that protects a person from someone who makes them fear violence, intimidation, harassment or stalking, per the New South Wales’ Government’s website.)
All four images in the carousel captured a bikini-clad Cameron smiling as she held her son in the crystal-clear water. She also disabled comments on the post.
The snaps arrived one day after Cameron, who began dating Gallagher in 2024 after meeting on the series’ season 9 charter, broke her silence over her ex’s arrest. Us confirmed last month that Gallagher was arrested and charged with “assault occasioning actual bodily harm, intentionally chok[ing] a person without consent and common assault,” according to a police memo.
“Hey guys, I just want to say thank you so much for the support you’ve shown for Kayden and I,” Cameron wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, September 5. “It’s been a tough season, but I have been using the past few months to quietly heal and rebuild for little man and myself.”
She continued, “I really appreciate the love you have sent our way, especially while everything that’s come to light, and I’m really working on finding myself again and moving forward.”
The police report obtained by Us further stated that neither party sustained injuries. Gallagher was eventually granted conditional bail. It is not clear how he pleaded. (Gallagher was convicted of three domestic violence offenses on Tuesday, September 1, after failing to appear in a Sydney, Australia, courtroom, per records viewed by News 24.)
Gallagher broke his silence surrounding his arrest in an August 26 statement to Rolling Stone. “I’m not claiming I was perfect. I wasn’t. I made mistakes and I will take responsibility for my own actions,” the statement read before adding that he would “not accept being portrayed solely through one person’s account of a relationship when there is another side and evidence relating to it.”
He added at the time, “I have contemporaneous video footage from the night in question, as well as messages and other records, which I believe provide important context.”
The statement, which also confirmed that Cameron and Gallagher had quietly split, continued, “There are also other matters surrounding the relationship that I have never discussed publicly, including circumstances surrounding the breakdown of our relationship, previous allegations she made about a former partner and financial matters relating to the purchase of an apartment in Sydney.”
He concluded, “My priority is being recognized as [Kayden’s] father, establishing a relationship with him and ultimately finding a way for both of us to move forward and coparent peacefully. I’m not looking for revenge, and not asking anyone to take my side. I simply want the opportunity for the other side to be heard and for the evidence to be considered.”

Phaedra Parks Praises CT Tamburello After 2026 Emmys Debut
The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks was overwhelmingly proud to be on her new beau Chris “CT” Tamburello’s arm at the 2026 Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
“Some came for the awards. I came with the prize,” Phaedra, 52, gushed via Instagram on Sunday, September 6, sharing a carousel of images featuring CT, 46, from the red carpet. “Thank you to the real trophy for making a beautiful night even better.”
The Challenge vet, who presented at the awards ceremony, brought Phaedra as his plus-one. The pair, who recently confirmed their relationship, twinned in black during the evening’s festivities.
While CT looked dapper in a classic tuxedo, Phaedra made a statement in a Jovani Couture halter gown with a dramatic midsection cutout and leg slit.
Just one day before the Emmys, Phaedra confirmed her romance with CT during a Friday, September 5, episode of SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live. Without divulging many details, the Bravolebrity coyly hinted that their red carpet debut would not be a platonic outing because they’ve “been out” a handful of times.
Phaedra and CT met while filming 2024’s second season of Peacock’s The Traitors, quickly forming a close bond. While watching the pair tackle the hit murder mystery competition, fans and fellow contestants alike believed the duo had a sizzling connection.
“I ship it,” their costar Peter Weber exclusively told Us at the time. “I think they’re really cute together. They had some good chemistry. Who knows what the future holds with them?”
Despite Peter’s wishes, CT denied the showmance rumors.
“Nothing real happened, I’ll be honest with you,” CT told Entertainment Weekly in March 2024, denying the viral speculation. “It was fun. I loved her because she’s a cornball. She was great. I would say there was a sense of sincerity, for sure. But it was also playing a game, you know?”
He added, “Honestly I have too much respect for her to try to turn it into something it’s not, just to try to be a flash in the pan. I don’t think that would be fair, I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. I mean, what would I do, move to Atlanta? I can’t do that.”
CT has been married twice prior to his romance with Phaedra: to Lilianet Solares from 2018 to 2023 and to Catalina White from 2024 to 2026. (CT and Lilianet share a 10-year-old son, Christopher.)
Phaedra, for her part, shares two sons with ex-husband Apollo Nida, to whom she was married from 2009 to 2015.

Amanda Hirsch Addresses Lindsay Clancy Sponsored Content
“Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast host Amanda Hirsch is speaking out after her sponsored Polymarket ad mentioning Lindsay Clancy’s triple murder case sparked immense online backlash.
“Posting about the Lindsay Clancy trial in the same breath as a brand partnership was completely insensitive, wrong and out of character for me,” Hirsch, 37, wrote in a Sunday, September 6, social media statement. “I should have known better, and I feel sick that I didn’t see that in the moment.”
Hirsch claimed in a since-deleted social media caption on Friday, September 4, that Polymarket “predicted the verdict would be not guilty” via a sponsored post for the betting site. The influencer added, “Are you surprised? #Polymarketpartner.”
Clancy, 36, was charged with murder following the deaths of her three children in January 2023. (Lindsay and ex-husband Patrick Clancy shared Cora, Dawson and Callan, who died at 5, 3, and 8 months, respectively.)
Lindsay has admitted to strangling her kids to death before jumping from a second-story window in an apparent suicide attempt. She is now paralyzed from the waist down. She pleaded not guilty, however, with her defense team arguing that she should not be held criminally responsible due to a documented history of postpartum mental health struggles including depression, anxiety and bipolar disorder.
The prosecution argued the mom was aware of right and wrong at the time of the killings, claiming it was a premeditated act.
After more than five days and 30 hours of deliberations, a Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial on Friday after the 12-person jury remained deadlocked 11-1 and unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
In light of the case’s mistrial, Hirsch’s Polymarket content came under fire and she swiftly deleted the original post.
“As a mom, this case has really affected me,” Hirsch, who shares two kids with husband Yaron Weiss, added on Sunday. “I’ve been following it so closely, talking about it constantly and feeling heartbroken over every part of it. I became so consumed that I completely lost perspective and didn’t stop to think about how grossly inappropriate it was to discuss something this tragic in that context.”
Hirsch further claimed that she “made a terrible judgment call” by sharing the sponsored content in the first place.
“I feel so f***ing awful about that. I know deleting it doesn’t erase it,” she concluded. “Believe me, I’m horrified by the choice I made and please know this lapse in judgment does not represent who I am as a person, I am so deeply sorry.”
