At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, in collaboration with You Know Films’ Alex Noyer for The Séance, Collider is thrilled to offer our readers insight into a can’t-miss upcoming animated feature that redefines what the medium can do with storytelling. Adapted from Sarah Leavitt’s poignant graphic novel memoir, Tangles: A Story about Alzheimer’s, My Mother and Me, and produced by Seth Rogen, Tangles tells the story of a daughter and her family coming to terms with a difficult new reality.

Though the cast and crew enlist the talent of some of comedy’s biggest stars, Rogen, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Abbi Jacobson, Tangles explores a harrowing emotional journey as Sarah (Jacobson) and her mother Midge (Louis-Dreyfus) are forced to accept her Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Told through “limitless, beautiful” hand-drawn animation, the headstrong Sarah moves back home to her small, conservative town, where she witnesses her mother’s vibrant personality being stripped away by the disease. In order to become the daughter her mother needs, she’ll have to learn to embrace her family’s imperfections and the cruel inevitability of Alzheimer’s. Tangles also features the talents of Samira Wiley, Bryan Cranston, Wanda Sykes, Pamela Adlon, Beanie Feldman, and more.

While talking with the Tangles team, Noyer spoke with Rogen about both his voice acting role in the film and serving as producer alongside his partner, screenwriter, director, and producer Lauren Miller Rogen. The two co-founded Hilarity for Charity, a leading nonprofit that brings awareness to and accelerates progress in Alzheimer’s research and care, making them ideal and obvious partners in bringing Tangles to life on screen. When asked about his involvement in the film and why it was important for him to be a part of it, Rogen explained:

“I would never make a film just because it supported a cause that I was passionate about, honestly. I’m only interested in making movies or working on movies that I think, themselves, stand on their own as great films, hopefully. So, that’s really what this was. The fact that it also happened to be about something that I had personal experience with and felt very deeply about made us work even harder on it and raised our own personal bars for what we hoped the movie could be. But I always viewed it as a great story that I hoped would make a great film, and I believed would make a great film.

I made a movie about cancer many years ago, about our friend who had cancer, and I’ve seen how if you really take ownership of the characters and the personal story, and unabashedly allow yourself to dive into these really sensitive subjects with care, something that you can only really do when you have a very close personal connection to it, it definitely allows you to take greater creative risks, because you’re not afraid of, like, ‘Well, what will people think of this?’ because you’ve experienced it and you can stand behind it.”

Lights, camera, inspiration! Teyana Taylor is bringing her bold creative vision to the 25th Tribeca Festival for a special event celebrating women in film and storytelling.

The multi-hyphenate star will take the stage for a talk presented by Through Her Lens: The Tribeca CHANEL Women’s Filmmaker Program as part of Tribeca’s Storytellers Series on Sunday, June 7, at Spring Studios in New York City.

Taylor, who recently joined the Through Her Lens Advisory Committee alongside powerhouse names including Jane Fonda, Lucy Liu, Tessa Thompson, Kerry Washington, Olivia Wilde, and more says the mission behind the initiative feels especially personal to her.

“Joining the Through Her Lens Advisory Committee with Tribeca and CHANEL felt personal to me because I know how powerful it is when women are given the space, support, and confidence to fully step into their vision,” the Golden Globe winner said in a press release.

“That’s what Through Her Lens is about, empowering women to tell bold, honest stories in their own voice. I’m proud to be part of something with CHANEL that’s creating that kind of lasting impact,” she continued.

During the discussion, Taylor will draw from her experiences both in front of and behind the camera, reflecting on carving out her own lane in entertainment, building an authentic creative voice and creating opportunities for the next generation of female storytellers.

The conversation will also spotlight the importance of mentorship, representation and creative support systems in helping women shape the future of film on their own terms.

“Teyana Taylor has never waited for permission to define herself. She’s built a career on instinct, originality and fearless creativity,” Jane Rosenthal, Tribeca Festival Co-Founder, said. 

“We’re thrilled to welcome her to Tribeca and to the Through Her Lens Advisory Committee. I know her artistry and perspective will resonate with so many women and storytellers.”

Tickets are available on the Tribeca Festival website and submissions for the 2026 Through Her Lens Program open today.

Is it just Us, or are all the biggest pop stars wearing babydoll dresses? We’ve seen A-listers like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter wear the girlie frock — and we’re not mad about it. The look is a one-and-done recipe for cutesy summer styling, and it’s extremely easy to replicate.

Babydoll dresses were synonymous with nightgowns in the 1950s, however, those days are long gone. The look has since hit the streets and had several revivals, each iteration looking a little more modern, playful, feminine and even punk. The mini dresses have a way of balancing flirtatiousness with dainty energy, and it’s a big reason why they’re so popular. Well, that, in addition to our favorite celebs stunning in the getup. To channel all the cool ‘It’ girls, take a peek at our list, which has options for everyday wear and girls’ night outs.

Babydoll Dresses to Channel ‘It’ Celebs This Summer

1. Our Favorite: We’re starting strong with a classic babydoll dress that has puff sleeves, a square neckline and an A-line skirt for that iconic girly look. The layered bodice ‘ups’ the style factor and has enough pleating to let you go braless.

2. Runner-Up: You get a little boho with a lot of whimsy when you snap up this swing mini. It’s less structured than the above pick, giving it that effortless appearance that’s ideal for brunches in Greenwich Village or shopping along Pacific Avenue.

3. Denim on Denim: Whoever said you can’t wear denim in the summer has never seen this cute little number. It’s made with a blend of materials, including cotton for much-needed breathability. Plus, the airy fit feels comfortable, even in 80-degree weather.

4. Laid-Back Luxe: The ruffle sleeves, milkmaid top and dainty bow detail under the bust is *chef’s kiss.* And while you can certainly wear the Free People mini dress as the model does, there’s no rule against wearing it off the shoulders as well. Read: That’s a two-in-one dress!

5. Vacation Must: This playful mini dress is what tropical vacations are made of. The open back, free-flowing skirt and bold orange color is sure to draw attention from all the locals. It’s the perfect mix of class and flirtiness, if you ask Us.

6. Cute Coquette: Vintage vibes are alive and well with this option from BP. Unlike the other options on our list, this one features layerable sheer materials, lace trims, ruffles and bow details that, when put together, give it that trendy coquette aesthetic everyone’s after.

7. Oui, Oui: The French know a thing or two about cool-girl dressing, which is why we’re picking up this Parisian-inspired find. The polka dot print, tasteful shoulder straps and bow accents really seal the deal. Bonus: The dress is 70% off right now.

8. Everyday Ease: Sure, this babydoll mini dress looks like just another cream frock, but if you look closely, you’ll notice that it has a subtle floral print that we can’t get over. The discrete pattern whispers ‘spring’ without being too in your face about it. And yes, it’s appropriate for summer outings, too.

9. Summer Staple: Gingham prints and summer activities go hand in hand, so pick up this Edikted babydoll pick STAT. In addition to its fun pattern, the dress also has an adjustable halter strap closure and a cut-out detail in the back for a unique twist.

10. Expensive-Looking: If you’re looking for something a little more fancy, go with this pretty option from Petal & Pup. The chiffon-like fabric and fanciful print are so cute, however, the stunning cap sleeves take things up a notch.

11. Quite the Charmer: A coastal vibe meets babydoll style in this Emerson puffed-sleeved pick from Abercrombie & Fitch. We could totally see this dress worn for a Nantucket beach day or farmers’ market run.

12. Wedding Guest Dress: Babydoll dresses are usually short, but this A&F maxi number is changing the game. The long length and high-quality materials make this bestselling option appropriate for wedding ceremonies, cocktail events and the like.

13. Little Miss Sunshine: Say ‘goodbye’ to your neutrals because this summer is all about color. This smocked babydoll dress comes in tons of pretty options, but we like the sunny yellow option best.

14. Closet Hero: Your picnic outfit is complete once you throw on this gingham ruffle-hem style. It’s available in tons of warm-weather hues, so you can expand your gingham collection to go beyond classic red.

15. Soft Statement: Once we saw this puffed-sleeve number, we instantly added it to our cart. Sure, the dress features all the babydoll dress details, but the biggest selling point is the bow design. They replace run-of-the-mill buttons, giving the mini a girlish aesthetic.

16. Comfort MVP: Made with 100% cotton, this Anthropologie mini dress will be your breathable go-to this summer. Loose yet body-fitting, the Peregrine babydoll dress complements your curves via the smocked bodice and flattering A-line skirt.

17. Sale Alert: Turn heads at baby showers, date nights and graduation ceremonies when you don this feminine on-sale babydoll piece. The skirt is the star of the show with its large printed floral pattern that looks positively chic. Oh, and the smocked paneling in the back give you some stretch.

4. ‘Beast’ (2022)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 68

There’s nothing quite like a family trip to bring people together, at least that’s what Dr. Nate Samuels (Idris Elba) was hoping for when he dragged his daughters, Meredith (Iyana Halley) and Norah (Leah Sava Jeffries), to Africa to reconnect with the roots of their late mother and catch up with a family friend, Martin Battles (Sharlto Copley).

In a colossal case of bad timing, Nate and his daughters arrive when there’s a man-killing lion on the loose in Martin’s animal preserve. This creature is vicious and cunning, and Nate has to find some way to overcome it, or else there won’t be anyone left to bury him or his family when the lion comes for them.

3. ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ (2025)

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 84

Director Spike Lee and Denzel Washington reunited for the crime thriller Highest 2 Lowest, which had a brief theatrical release last year. Washington plays David King, one of the founders of Stackin’ Hits Records and an icon in the industry. King sold his majority share years ago, but he liquidates most of his assets in the present to get it back. Yet on the day he’s set to go through with the deal, kidnappers target his son, Trey (Aubrey Joseph). and demand a ransom that may scuttle King’s dream of reclaiming his company.

Josh Brolin is reflecting on working with Denzel Washington – and how one slip-up while rehearsing a scene almost caused a fight between him and the Oscar winner. Noting that he and Washington, 69, “get along very well now,” Brolin, 56, shared the story of the pair’s “almost” scuffle while talking about filming their 2007 […]

The good news is that the kidnappers made a mistake. Instead of Trey, they took his best friend, Kyle Christopher (Elijah Wright), who also happens to be the son of King’s longtime driver and friend, Paul Christopher (Jeffrey Wright). The thieves still want their multi-million ransom, but suddenly King doesn’t feel as obligated to pay. That hesitation may cost King more than just money.

2. ‘Caught Stealing’ (2025)

Rotten Tomatoes Score:84

Darren Aronofsky‘s latest film, Caught Stealing, doubles as a dark comedy and a crime thriller. But Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) isn’t laughing at all of the misery that comes into his life because of his neighbor, Russ Miner (Matt Smith). The only thing Hank agreed to do was to look after Russ’ cat while he was out of town. Unfortunately for Hank, that made him a target for mobsters who came looking for Russ.

Hank and his girlfriend, Yvonne (Zoë Kravitz), don’t realize the world of hurt that they’re in for, or the high price they’ll pay as it becomes apparent why everyone in the criminal underworld is looking for Russ. There’s a lot of money at stake, and Hank may not have anyone left he can trust, especially when even a corrupt cop, Detective Elise Roman (Regina King), is also looking for Russ’ stash.

Crime 101 features Chris Hemsworth as Mike, an exceptional jewel thief who meticulously plans his crimes to ensure that no one gets hurt while also giving himself a clean getaway. However, Mike’s latest theft went so badly that he’s shaken and unwilling to commit to any further heists. That leads his fence, Money (Nick Nolte), to go behind Mike’s back and hire a psychopath, Ormon (Barry Keoghan), to finish Mike’s job.

As Mike tries to form a romantic bond with a woman named Maya (Monica Barbaro), a relentless cop, Detective Lou Lubesnick (Mark Ruffalo), is closing in on him. Meanwhile, an insurance broker, Sharon Combs (Halle Berry), is drawn into Mike’s orbit because he needs her help. But there’s no guarantee they can trust each other.

Latto Shares Personal Footage Showing Her Pregnancy Journey As 21 Savage Makes Cameo

On Monday, May 18, Latto took to Instagram to share a clip with her more than 14.2 million followers. Furthermore, the clip began with her seemingly telling her sister, Brooklyn Nikole, that she was pregnant and five weeks along. From there, the clip cut to her baby’s 13-week ultrasound, and additional clips of her informing another family member of the news.

During the clip, Latto explained that she was nervous about her pregnancy hindering her career and the creation of her forthcoming album. Nonetheless, baby shower footage showed her in high spirits and even caught a cameo of 21 Savage.

Ultimately, the clip concludes with her showing her progress at 37 weeks.

Amid Latto Showing Her Pregnancy Journey, Akbar V Was Seemingly Sending Shots Her Way

Latto’s personal pregnancy footage arrived a few weeks after a separate clip appeared to indicate that she had given birth. As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this month, a Mother’s Day video that Latto recorded for her foundation, Win Some Give Some, appeared to capture audio of a baby cooing in the background.

More recently — as of earlier this week — Akbar V is now turning heads with apparent shots toward Latto. On a freestyle, Akbar seemingly throws shade at Latto for welcoming a baby with an alleged married man. Additionally, Akbar even called herself the “Queen of Atlanta.”

In 2009, police were called to the Louisville, Kentucky, residence of a couple, Joseph Banis and Jeffrey Mundt, over a domestic dispute that ended with the discovery of a body in their basement. Both Banis and Mundt fessed up to the body’s existence, but both also pointed the finger at one another over who killed local drag performer Jamie Carroll. Murder in Glitterball City explores this bizarre ambiguity and how either man could have committed the heinous crime. 

Part of what makes Murder in Glitterball City such an exceptional documentary is its refusal to offer easy answers for its audience, instead allowing the story to flourish in the murky gray areas. Mundt and Banis are portrayed in vivid (and disturbing) detail, and both men are depicted as equally capable of committing the crime — even Carroll is shown to have been a flawed person. Featuring interviews with experts, testimonials from neighbors and community members, local history and trial footage, Murder in Glitterball City excels as a captivating and well-made documentary.

The world of Friday the 13th is finally returning, but this time audiences are heading back to Camp Crystal Lake long before Jason Voorhees became one of horror’s most iconic killers. A24 and Peacock’s upcoming prequel series Crystal Lake is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated horror television events in years, blending psychological horror, slasher roots, and prestige television storytelling into a fresh take on the legendary franchise.

Produced by A24, Crystal Lake serves as a prequel to the original Friday the 13th film and will explore the dark origins surrounding Pamela Voorhees, Camp Crystal Lake, and the tragedy that changed horror history forever. The series is being developed for Peacock and is currently scheduled to premiere on October 15, 2026.

Leading the cast is Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees, the grieving mother whose descent into madness became the catalyst for the franchise’s blood-soaked legacy. The role marks a major shift for Cardellini, who is best known for projects like Dead to Me, Scooby-Doo, and Freaks and Geeks. Joining her is Callum Vinson as a young Jason Voorhees, giving fans their first real look at the character before he became the masked killer audiences know today.

Additional cast members include William Catlett, Devin Kessler, Cameron Scoggins, and Gwendolyn Sundstrom, alongside recurring appearances from Nick Cordileone, Joy Suprano, Danielle Kotch, and Christopher Denham.

The series has undergone a fascinating development journey. Originally announced in 2022 with Bryan Fuller attached as showrunner, the project later shifted creative direction before landing with writer and producer Brad Caleb Kane. Kane has described Crystal Lake as more than a traditional slasher series, calling it a psychological thriller inspired by paranoid 1970s cinema. According to Kane, the show will still feature brutal kills and rivers of blood, but the violence will be grounded in character, trauma, and atmosphere rather than simple shock value.

Linda Cardellini (Pam Voorhees) and Callum Vinson (Jason Voorhees)

That approach feels perfectly aligned with A24’s modern horror identity. Over the past decade, the studio has transformed genre filmmaking with films like Hereditary, Midsommar, and Talk to Me, often emphasizing emotional dread and layered storytelling over traditional jump scares. Crystal Lake appears poised to bring that same elevated horror style into the Friday the 13th universe while still honoring the franchise’s campfire slasher roots.

Filming reportedly took place in New Jersey, including locations tied to the original 1980 movie, giving the project an extra layer of authenticity for longtime fans. Production wrapped in late 2025, and recent updates suggest the series is now deep into post-production.

For horror fans, Crystal Lake represents something the franchise has never truly explored before: the emotional and psychological foundation behind the Voorhees family tragedy. Instead of simply revisiting Jason’s kills, the series aims to show how the legend of Crystal Lake was born in the first place.

And with A24 involved, expectations are understandably sky high.

Kyle Cooke is hitting back at backlash over him posing for a photo with estranged wife Amanda Batula at the New York City premiere of Bravo’s In the City.

“You guys, yes, Amanda and I took a picture together,” Kyle, 43, said in a video posted to his Instagram Stories early Tuesday, May 19, after the former couple hit the red carpet the night before on Monday, May 18.

The Summer House star continued, “I was just happy that she showed up. She almost didn’t come to a show that she participated in. Shoot me. Shoot me. But don’t call my life, my relationship, my marriage, and my implosion of a marriage, fake.”

“With all due respect, we’re all adults here and we all showed up to a premiere party,” Kyle added. “And, yes, Amanda did not want to come, and I convinced her to come and we took a photo together. Grow the f*** up.”

Kyle and Amanda, 34, announced their separation after four years of marriage in January.

“After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple,” the couple said in a statement at the time. “We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”

“It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time. since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter,” they added.

Amanda sent shockwaves through the Bravo universe in March when she and Summer House costar West Wilson announced that they were seeing one another. West, 31, previously dated Amanda’s best friend, Ciara Miller.

“We’ve seen the growing online speculation, so while this is still very new, we wanted to provide some clarity,” West and Amanda wrote in a joint statement in March. “It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. Given the complicated relationship dynamics involved and the scrutiny that comes with being on a reality show, we needed a little space to process things privately before speaking on it.”

“We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” they continued. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

West and Amanda added, “As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling,” they concluded. “We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
