Reacher star Alan Ritchson filed for divorce from his wife of 20 years, Catherine Ritchson, months before publicly announcing their separation.

Alan, 43, filed to dissolve the pair’s marriage on December 1, 2025, per court records viewed by Us. (TMZ was first to report the news.)

Alan and Cat, 37, revealed nearly nine months later that they had called it quits.

“After 20 years together, Cat and I have decided to end our marriage and continue alongside one another in a different way,” the now-exes wrote in a joint statement shared via Instagram on Saturday, September 12. “We grew up together, we built a life and a family together.”

Reacher star Alan Ritchson and his wife, Catherine Ritchson, have called it quits after two decades of marriage. “After 20 years together, Cat and I have decided to end our marriage and continue alongside one another in a different way,” Alan, 43, and Catherine, 37, wrote in a joint statement shared via Instagram on Saturday, […]

They continued, “We are raising three incredible boys, who will always be the center of our world. Nothing can diminish what these years have meant to us — or the love and respect we will always share. The best gift we can give one another — and our boys — right now is friendship, grace and commitment to becoming the strongest coparents we can be.”

The actor and Catherine further stressed that they hoped to “give each other room to grow into the people [they were] becoming.”

“Change is hard enough without the whole world weighing in,” the pair added in her Saturday statement. “We hope, especially for the sake of our boys, that you will allow our family to move through this chapter with privacy and compassion. Thank you for supporting us as we continue making the health and happiness of our family our priority.”

Days earlier, Catherine documented a “solo trip” via Instagram and shared cryptic “statements that resonate.”

“After the millionth time of us sitting next to each other, inches away, tying our shoes — so now it’s super awkward — I was like, ‘So I heard you ice skate,’” Alan told Men’s Health in February 2024. “She was like the sweetest thing in the world.”

Alan and Catherine briefly separated after one year together before reconciling, eventually getting married in 2006.

Netflix’s 4-season legal drama, The Lincoln Lawyer, is a compelling look at an attorney who makes it his life’s work to defend his clients. Each fascinating storyline dives further into the law and its consequences. HBO’s Sharp Objects is a heart-wrenching and often disturbing examination of a female protagonist who is haunted by her hometown and the murders of two young girls. At first glance, these two shows have little in common, but a completely underrated Apple TV series perfectly captures the best of both.

What Is ‘Truth Be Told’ About?

Truth Be Told, based on the 2017 novel Are You Sleeping by Kathleen Barber, began airing on Apple TV back in 2019 and ran for three seasons, wrapping up in 2023. The series follows a well-known podcaster named Poppy Parnell (Octavia Spencer), whose claim to fame was covering the murder of a professor named Chuck Buhrman (Nic Bishop) back in 1999. Poppy was convinced that a young man named Warren Cave (Aaron Paul, as well as Hunter Doohan in flashbacks) was responsible for the gruesome murder.

The only problem is that Poppy now has reason to believe that Warren may have been wrongfully convicted of the crime. Because of her immense guilt, she feels driven to correct her mistake and discover the truth about who actually killed Chuck. Truth Be Told unfolds with an eerie, twisty narrative, complete with family secrets, betrayal, and lies. Subsequent seasons of the series allow Poppy to investigate other cases, similar to The Lincoln Lawyer, including the murder of a filmmaker in Season 2, and the terrifying disappearances of several young Black girls in Season 3.

‘Truth Be Told’ Captivates With Its Suspenseful Storytelling and Stellar Cast

All 28 episodes of Truth Be Told are thrilling to watch because the storytelling is so gripping. It’s easy to find yourself drawn into Poppy’s cases, especially because she becomes so enmeshed with both the victims and the suspects. She’s not a perfect protagonist, since she’s responsible for putting a potentially innocent person behind bars, but her dogged desire to fight for the truth is both admirable and riveting. The dark, almost Southern Gothic vibe, similar to the one found in Sharp Objects, becomes almost another character, portraying the setting as mysterious and dangerous. Plenty of red herrings and twists and turns help the pacing of each episode fly by.

Truth Be Told doesn’t feel like your average prestige thriller, and much of this is because of the impressive cast. Oscar winner Spencer shines in a role that allows her to dig into the messier sides of humanity, a far cry from her hilarious performance in the recent Prime Video hit Ride or Die. Paul, as impeccable as always, has a hardened edge to his performance that demonstrates the harsh effects of growing up in prison, and his scenes with Spencer are incredibly intense. Lizzy Caplan is a standout in Season 1 in a dual role as Chuck’s traumatized twin daughters, while Elizabeth Perkins is heartbreaking as Warren’s cancer-stricken mother. The Pitt‘s Katherine LaNasa even pops up in a supporting role as Noa Havilland, the producer of Poppy’s podcast. One of the most fascinating aspects of Truth Be Told is that Seasons 2 and 3 provide brand-new cases and even more extraordinary cast members; Kate Hudson, Gabrielle Union, and Peter Gallagher are just a few of the actors who help bring Poppy’s world to life in later episodes.

Truth Be Told was cancelled after Season 3, but many felt the show had run its course due to its anthology storytelling format. With just three seasons, the series is now the perfect length for a binge-watch. Even if the content is pretty heavy, you’ll be drawn in by the captivating twists and authentic performances in all three seasons of Truth Be Told.

Truth Be Told is available to stream on Apple TV in the U.S.

Hayden Panettiere‘s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, found himself in handcuffs following a chaotic night out with his brother, Zach Hickerson.

The incident unfolded at a local bar, where an argument involving the brothers and other patrons eventually brought police to the scene.

During the commotion, Brian also made a startling accusation involving the investigation into the death of his late girlfriend, Hayden Panettiere.

5

What began as a night of drinking for Brian and Zach quickly descended into disorder at Wild Wing Cafe in Greenville on Saturday.

Sources told TMZ that the brothers had spent several hours drinking at a table toward the back of the establishment. At some point, Brian approached the bar and began speaking with other people before the situation escalated. He allegedly picked up a bar stool and threw it backward.

Footage obtained by the news outlet captured another tense moment during an argument with patrons. Brian could be seen being lifted off the ground by someone behind him before he was carried outside. A bartender was heard shouting, “Let him go!” as the confrontation continued.

Greenville police were eventually called over a reported “assault.” According to authorities, responding officers encountered Brian and Zach outside the establishment, where they were involved in an altercation with other individuals.

The incident ended with both brothers being placed in handcuffs, but their encounters had different outcomes.

Brian Hickerson Made Shocking Claims About Hayden Panettiere’s Death

5

While officers dealt with the disturbance, Brian unexpectedly brought up Panettiere’s death and leveled an accusation against the local police department.

Video from the incident captured Brian shouting, “GPD leaked it when my girlfriend died,” apparently referring to the Greenville Police Department and information surrounding Panettiere’s death.

The 36-year-old actress was found unresponsive in a Greenville apartment on August 16, where she and Brian had been staying. Zach discovered her body, and Brian later administered Narcan after finding her unconscious, according to a statement Zach previously gave TMZ.

Brian did not elaborate on what information he believed police had leaked, and the news outlet did not report evidence substantiating his accusation.

Panettiere’s cause and manner of death have not yet been made public. The circumstances surrounding her passing still remain under investigation.

Brian Hickerson Was Released While His Brother Faces Arrest

5

Despite being handcuffed during the confrontation, Brian was not arrested. Police eventually released him without charges stemming from the incident.

Zach, however, was taken into custody. Greenville police told TMZ that he appeared highly intoxicated and began shouting profanities while officers were at the scene.

His behavior resulted in his arrest for disorderly conduct, and he was subsequently taken to jail.

For Brian, the encounter comes less than a month after Panettiere’s death, once again placing him in the public eye as questions surrounding the actress’ final days continued.

Brian Hickerson Was Reportedly At The Center Of Hayden And Her Mother’s Strained Relationship

5

Long before Panettiere’s death, Brian had become a major source of tension between the actress and her mother, Lesley Vogel.

Vogel said she traveled to California about a year before her daughter’s death to help Panettiere end the relationship with Brian. This is something she maintained Hayden had decided she wanted to do herself.

“She knew that Brian was toxic,” Vogel told “Good Morning America,” per Fox News Digital. “She knew she had to get him out of her life.” However, Vogel said her daughter later informed her that she intended to remain with “the person” she loves.

The situation eventually pushed Vogel to make a painful decision. Following advice from her therapist, she told Panettiere that they could no longer communicate while Brian remained in her life.

That decision led to their estrangement. Vogel believed the distance between them would only be temporary, never imagining that Panettiere would die before they had an opportunity to repair their relationship.

Brian Hickerson Allegedly Pursued Another Woman Before Hayden Panettiere’s Death

5

The concerns surrounding Hickerson’s relationship with Panettiere were further complicated by claims that he had been pursuing another woman months before the actress died.

According to TMZ,  Hickerson allegedly exchanged flirty messages with an unnamed woman he met at a Greenville nightclub about five months before Panettiere’s death.

After their encounter, Hickerson allegedly contacted her the following day, writing, “Great meeting you last night, pretty lady. I owe you a date.” When she later responded that she remembered little about meeting him because she had been heavily intoxicated, he continued trying to arrange another meeting.

The news outlet also noted that the exact nature of Hickerson and Panettiere’s relationship was not publicly clear during that period. It is also unclear whether they had any arrangement that permitted them to see other people.

The allegations added another detail to the complicated picture of Hickerson’s relationship with Panettiere. The pair’s connection has faced renewed scrutiny following her death and his recent encounter with police in South Carolina.

Céline Dion kicked off her comeback concert tour with great fanfare.

“Finally, it’s amazing we are all together,” Dion, 58, told concertgoers at her Saturday, September 12, concert at the Plenitude Arena in Paris. “I made a promise to come back and to be back on stage.”

She continued, “So here I am, singing for you, singing for me, singing life.”

Dion was diagnosed with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological condition that causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms, in 2021 and publicly disclosed her health condition the next year. She subsequently canceled her Courage World Tour in 2023 to prioritize her health.

Celine Dion is “already hard at work” on putting together her concerts at Paris La Défense Arena, a music insider exclusively tells Us Weekly. “She wants high production and high fashion but, most importantly, an emotional connection to the audience,” the source shares. “She missed her fans so much. She really thrives on stage and […]

Dion announced in March — on her 58th birthday — that she would headline a limited run of 10 concerts in September and October. Following enormous fan demand, Dion added six additional concerts to the schedule.

Kicking off her Céline Dion Paris shows, the music icon celebrated her accomplished career over four acts as she performed her biggest hits in French and English, including “On ne change pas,” “Because You Loved Me,” “Courage” and “La Wally.”

Before Dion took the stage, she had been working on improving her health for the show in what a source recently told Us was “an incredible labor of love.”

“Trust that Céline would never have taken this on if she didn’t feel she could deliver,” the insider exclusively shared with Us. “It has grown beyond her expectations, which is really incredible. I am not sure her fans understand the commitment behind this. It is going to be spectacular.”

Per the source, Dion put in ”constant, consistent work” to improve her health.

“People may not realize how much work Celine put in to fight this condition and to regain her strength and mobility,” the insider added. “There were many years of figuring out what was going on, that alone can be very daunting, and then to find the right people to help you.”

Thank You!

While the source acknowledged that Dion faced “highs and lows” in her journey, she remained committed to getting her strength back.

“There were very low, emotional times [of her] thinking, ‘What is happening? Why is this happening? Will I get to the other side of this?’” the source told Us, noting that the musician has already seen “such great results with her rehabilitation.”

The insider continued, “She is physically so strong and has done so much hard work to get here. She trains almost every day on top of physical therapy. Céline is incredibly resilient and strong-willed, but she is also very tender and playful. She can laugh at herself and her circumstances.”

It’s hard to reinvent and transform one genre, let alone two. But that’s exactly what Ridley Scott managed to do almost fifty years ago when he cross-bred the haunted house trope with a creature feature, stuck it in space and, in the process, introduced terrified audiences to one of cinema’s most terrifying creatures in the process. Five decades later, it still scares the life out of everyone.

Now, Alien has found yet another generation of potential victims. Scott’s sci-fi masterpiece officially joined Netflix in the United States on September 1 as part of the streamer’s major monthly catalog refresh, alongside its equally acclaimed sequel, Aliens. Alien follows the seven-person crew of the commercial spaceship Nostromo after they are awakened from stasis to investigate what appears to be a distress signal originating from a nearby moon. So far, so good, but then the discovery of a derelict spacecraft quickly turns disastrous when one crew member encounters an unknown organism, unknowingly bringing a lethal extraterrestrial lifeform aboard the Nostromo. You know what that lifeform is. It’s the most iconic alien in the history of cinema; it’s the xenomorph.

The cast is led by Sigourney Weaver (Avatar) as Ellen Ripley, alongside Tom Skerritt (Top Gun) as Dallas, Veronica Cartwright (The Birds) as Lambert, Harry Dean Stanton (Paris, Texas) as Brett, John Hurt (The Elephant Man) as Kane, Ian Holm (The Lord of the Rings) as Ash, and Yaphet Kotto (Live and Let Die) as Parker, with Bolaji Badejo portraying the Alien.

How Good Is ‘Alien’?

Nearly five decades after its release, Alien remains one of the most acclaimed science-fiction and horror movies ever made. It currently holds a 93% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus praising the movie’s combination of science fiction, horror, and bleak atmosphere, and its reputation has only grown with time, while the movie was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 2002 for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

At the box office, it was also a massive success, earning more than $106 million worldwide against a reported $11 million production budget. It won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects and received another nomination for Best Art Direction, while Weaver’s Ellen Ripley went on to become one of the most iconic heroes in science-fiction history.

Alien is streaming now on Netflix.

In the world of crime dramas, very few have had the impact of The Sopranos. The late, great Michael Gandolfini ​​​​​​plays Tony Soprano, a crime boss struggling to keep his empire and his family intact. Gandolfini’s performance peeled back Tony’s layers, revealing that beneath his tough-guy bravado is a front for dealing with deep depression. The Sopranos made HBO a pillar of primetime television and helped pave the way for other complex antiheroes like Mad Men‘s Don Draper and Breaking Bad‘s Walter White. However, a modern crime series features a protagonist who’s more Machiavellian than Tony could ever hope to be.

That series is Godfather of Harlem, currently streaming on Hulu. Godfather of Harlem is based on the real-life exploits of gangster Bumpy Johnson, who’s played by Forest Whitaker. After a decade in prison, Johnson returns to Harlem, New York, to discover that the neighborhood’s in the grip of the Italian mob. Johnson battles the mob to take back Harlem, using unconventional alliances and underhanded deals to win. The end result is a gripping crime drama that fans of The Sopranos should definitely add to their watchlists.

‘Godfather of Harlem’ Thrives Thanks to Forest Whitaker’s Performance

Image via MGM+

From the very beginning, it’s clear that Godfather of Harlem intends to establish Bumpy Johnson as a man who’s willing to do anything to stay on top. The series premiere, “By Whatever Means Necessary,” establishes this with a scene where Johnson tracks down a man who wounded one of his associates and slowly kills him. It’s one of many instances where Forest Whitaker blends menace and thoughtfulness, making Johnson a truly dangerous character. Compared to Tony Soprano, who routinely struggled with his duties to his family and his empire, Johnson dispatches anyone who gets in his way. Whitaker made a career out of playing morally gray figures, but Godfather of Harlem might be one of his best performances.

Godfather of Harlem also boasts a stacked ensemble full of familiar faces. Johnson’s main rival, Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, is brought to life by Vincent D’Onofrio; fans of D’Onofrio’s performance as Wilson Fisk in Daredevil will be pleased to know that he brings the same level of darkness to Gigante. Giancarlo Esposito also shows up, playing the politician Adam Clayton Powell Jr., who’s often willing to bend or outright break the law to rise up in the ranks. There’s even an appearance from Severance‘s Tramell Tillman in Season 1! The fact that this cast can hold its own against Whitaker and bring historical figures to life is one of many reasons Godfather of Harlem is a standout.

‘Godfather of Harlem’ Comes To An End Next Year

Godfather of Harlem has four seasons under its belt and has earned critical acclaim along the way. That run is set to end, as MGM+ announced in July that the series would wrap up with a two-hour finale set to air sometime in 2027. Forest Whitaker released a statement following this announcement, in which he expressed his gratitude for being able to bring Bumpy Johnson to life.

“Playing Bumpy Johnson has been one of the greatest experiences of my career. This character, this story, and this ensemble have allowed me to explore the complexity of a man caught between ambition, loyalty, and survival. I’m grateful to Michael Wright and MGM+, Chris Brancato, 20th Television, Amazon, the entire creative team, and our extraordinary cast, for five seasons of exceptional collaboration.”

Though Godfather of Harlem might be coming to an end, creators Chris Brancato and Michael Panes aren’t leaving MGM+ or the world of crime dramas behind. The duo recently launched The Westies, which features many of the hallmarks that defined Godfather of Harlem. It’s a period piece anchored by strong performances from J.K. Simmons and Titus Welliver, and Brancanto even admitted the series began as a storyline for Godfather of Harlem before spinning off into a separate project. The Sopranos might have defined crime television, but Godfather of Harlem has elevated it.

Katie Holmes may have just found the happy medium between jeans and dress pants. Her latest denim choice had the relaxed, cool-girl feel she’s known for, but the pleated waist and flowy legs made them look noticeably more polished than your average pair. Even better, the silhouette has a few sneaky flattering details that make it especially appealing for women over 40.

Holmes was spotted out in New York City wearing baggy, pleated blue jeans with a sweet gingham top, crisp white sneakers and oversized shades. While we don’t know her exact pair, we found a strikingly similar style on Amazon for just $37. It’s an easy way to copy her transitional look without overhauling your entire fall wardrobe.

Get the Cicy Bell Wide Leg Pleated Baggy Jeans for $37 (Was $50) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

The Cicy Bell Wide-Leg Jeans combine the casual feel of denim with the dressed-up shape of trousers. They feature a high-rise waist, front pleats and loose, wide legs, plus they come in a dark wash that looks especially close to Holmes’ pair. They also come in black, light-wash, leopard and other options if you want to switch things up.

Those pleats aren’t just there to look pretty, either. They help define the waist before flowing into a roomy leg, creating a long, streamlined shape without anything feeling tight or restrictive.

Shoppers are fans of the softer feel, too. One reviewer said the jeans made a “huge difference in comfort” because the “denim is softer” and has “more movement to it than traditional heavy jeans.” Another buyer said the fit “works well for a variety of body types,” adding that the wide-leg design “creates a flattering, leg-lengthening effect.”

Consider these the jeans to reach for when it’s too warm for full-on fall dressing, but you’re officially over your summer wardrobe. Wear them with a breezy blouse and sneakers now, then add a sweater and boots once temperatures drop. Holmes’ trouser-jeans formula might just make the seasonal switch a whole lot easier.

The one franchise that Hollywood refuses to leave alone and has tried every trick in the book to make work, is Terminator. Created by James Cameron decades ago, the franchise has seen it all over the years. At its peak, it had expanded across different media. However, the most recent theatrical films both fell short of expectations; one was a critical flop, and the other was a commercial bomb. With the rights to the series currently in the hands of David Ellison, it remains to be seen where he’ll take it next, especially with the Warner Bros. merger in the works. In 2019, Ellison’s Skydance worked with Cameron on a new reboot, Terminator: Dark Fate, which underperformed commercially and led to star Arnold Schwarzenegger seemingly admitting defeat. The star had previously criticized the writing of the franchise’s 2015 reboot, which is currently streaming for free in the United States.

The 2015 movie was marketed as a major return for Schwarzenegger, who wasn’t involved with the 2009 film Terminator Salvation. Directed by Alan Taylor, the 2015 reboot had a production so difficult that the crew of the doomed Fantastic Four movie being shot at the same time distributed sweatshirts that read, “At least we’re not on Terminator.” The experience of making the movie robbed Taylor of the will to continue working in the industry, while star Emilia Clarke said in an interview that the cancellation of the sequels was probably for the best.

Here’s Where You Can Watch the Worst-Rated ‘Terminator’ Movie for Free

By now you’ve probably guessed that we’re talking about Terminator Genisys, which also features Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, and Matt Smith. Produced on a reported budget of more than $155 million, the movie grossed $440 million worldwide — it remains the franchise’s second-highest-grossing installment. However, the reviews were toxic. The movie is now sitting at a 26% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Mired in its muddled mythology, Terminator Genisys is a lurching retread that lacks the thematic depth, conceptual intelligence, or visual thrills that launched this once-mighty franchise.” In a later interview, Schwarzenegger said, “The franchise is not done. I’m done. I got the message loud and clear.” He said that while the first three installments were “great,” the fifth and sixth movies were “not well written.” Terminator Genisys is currently streaming for free on Pluto TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
