Celeb Hairstylist Travis Ogletree Wants You to Lighten Up This Fall: From Brighter Hues to Lowering Hot Tools
Leaves are falling, and according to Travis Ogletree, a few old-school hair rules can go with them.
The celebrity hairstylist, who’s worked with Shay Mitchell, Miranda Kerr, Lana Del Rey, January Jones, and more, is telling ET which beauty beliefs are worth holding onto, plus the ones that deserve a seasonal shake-up.
First up: the idea that fall automatically calls for darker hair.
“The world has a much more relaxed approach to the idea of going lighter for summer and darker for fall now. I actually find myself going a bit lighter as my tan fades,” he reveals.
Whether you’re ready for a major color moment or just want something new this autumn, Ogletree says keeping your strands healthy should be at the top of the list.
“I use the Moroccanoil Color Calypso Demi-Permanent Glosses. They take roughly 20 minutes and last a bit longer than your average gloss. Because it’s a demi, you can add pigments to neutralize, warm up, or cool down your tone, as well as deepen the color, without the long-term commitment of a permanent shade, which makes it really useful for refreshing sun-faded color.”
“Moroccanoil also has ArganID technology behind its color lines, so they actually make the hair feel better and more conditioned,” he continues.
As for the urge to make the chop? Ogletree believes your face shape, not the trend cycle, should lead the way.
“A custom face frame tailored to accentuate your features is always in style for me, whether that’s minimizing the forehead with a longer fringe or softening a jawline with chin-length pieces.”
Once you’ve nailed your look, maintaining it goes beyond the salon chair.
“Using a hair mask, like the Weightless Hydrating Mask, once a week is a great way to make sure hair is feeling healthy and nourished. The scent is luxurious and familiar, and the lightweight nature of it makes it great for pretty much any hair type,” he shares.
If summer left your strands a little worse for wear, though, it may be time to bring in the heavy hitters.
“Try the Restorative Hair Mask, Intense Hydrating Mask, or the new Overnight Leave-In Mask. It’s a no-rinse formula that isn’t meant to replace anything in your routine, but instead, adds a boost of hydration and nourishment to make the hair softer and easier to detangle.”
But just because sweater weather is setting in doesn’t mean it’s time to turn your hot tools all the way up.
“No matter what you’re doing color-wise, make sure your hair is healthy and protected from heat styling once we move into colder months that aren’t as friendly to an air dry,” he suggests.
“My personal recommendation is to never set your hot tools over 360 degrees and don’t avoid using a heat protectant because you’re worried it will weigh your hair down. If you like something really lightweight with a glossy finish, try the Perfect Defense Heat Protectant.”
While the seasons are changing, Ogletree is holding onto one styling staple.
“People have been loving a spray-in oil in the studio lately. I’ve been using the Treatment Mist as a finishing touch to my end results for a style you can run your hands through with ease.”

Chase Stokes became a household name after playing John B. on Outer Banks — but he’ll never get used to the outrageous rumors about his appearance.
Stokes, 33, revealed during the Tuesday, September 1, episode of “I’ve Never Said This Before” podcast that he considers speculation about whether he’s had plastic surgery to be the “most ridiculous assumption” about him online.
“I see these doctors who are like, ‘He’s got an upper [blepharoplasty]’ and, ‘He’s got his lips done.’ Like legitimate doctors,” Stokes explained, noting none of the online speculation is accurate.
The actor insisted, “On the record, I will say it, I’ve never had any work done on my face.”
Stokes said that it blows his mind how adamant actual physicians have been about what he’s allegedly had done — without knowing him at all.
“It’s so funny to me to see them go into the details of it all,” he shared. “I’m like, ‘Oh man, you should probably have your license revoked there.’”
Stokes ultimately laughed off the rumors, telling listeners that he tries not to get into the weeds and social media comments no matter how outlandish they may be.

“I used to be a little more online with that stuff, but I’ve realized to just shut up,” he said. “It’s so tough, but then you realize when you comment, you give them more exposure.”
While the Maryland native hasn’t done plastic surgery, he recently shared that following the end of Outer Banks, he realized his health had fallen to the wayside.
“I had so much s*** wrong,” Stokes told The Hollywood Reporter on August 21. “I left that show [and] my liver was failing, my kidney was failing. I had so many health issues that I had to figure out, and my brain was all out of whack.”
Outer Banks star Chase Stokes revealed the meaning behind one of his newest tattoos. “I recently got ‘Dear me’ tattooed on my hand as a reminder that whenever I’m being mean to myself to simmer down,” Stokes, 31, exclusively tells Us Weekly‘s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me. “Nobody should be s—ty to themselves.” […]
He recalled undergoing biweekly blood tests and participating in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy to get “back to baseline” and recenter himself before taking on more work. (Stokes has not publicly disclosed a specific diagnosis.)
Now, Stokes is feeling better than ever, noting that he has shifted his fitness routine, marking the end of his John B. era once and for all.
“When I was doing Outer Banks, I was intermittent fasting almost until two o’clock every day,” he explained to Men’s Health on Wednesday, August 26. “Just so I could keep the weight off with [my character] John B., and I was drinking upwards of a gallon of water [at] that time to keep myself full.”
Once the show ended — the fifth and final season premiered last month on Netflix — Stokes switched it up and is now working on fueling his body.
“Now, I wake up at 7 a.m., fast until 10 or 11, and have a hearty breakfast,” he said. “Then, I go to the gym, and when I come back, I have a protein shake. Later, I have another oomph of protein.”
As he prepares to play pit crew member Ronnie Whitlock on AMC’s Thunder Road, Stokes has found himself training as if he’s a professional athlete and not focusing on staying lean and looking like he was 20 in his 30s.
“We get to start fresh, and we get to build something that is really cool and entirely different,” Stokes said of his new normal. “And you don’t have to worry about the aesthetics. You can just focus on the work and the art and making sure that you’re showing up well for the job.”

One of America’s most overlooked and influential historical figures finally got his time to shine with Lawmen: Bass Reeves, and thank goodness it wasn’t a Yellowstone spin-off. To be completely fair, Taylor Sheridan‘s Western universe has become something to behold. Starting with the flagship monster hit series that began in 2018, Paramount and Sheridan have crafted an unstoppable television empire complete with Hollywood stars including Kevin Costner, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and Annette Bening, with the strife of the Dutton family at its center.
Despite his commitment to building and expanding the Yellowstone universe, Sheridan also has his hands in many other projects, such as Tulsa King, Lioness, and more. In September 2021, MTV and ViacomCBS announced that Taylor Sheridan would be developing a limited series about historical Western icon Bass Reeves, with Selma star David Oyelowo in the lead role. It was an exciting prospect given that Reeves is a figure whose story is gripping from start to finish. However, in May 2022, MTV Entertainment announced that the series would be tweaked to be a spin-off/continuation of Yellowstone‘s 1883 prequel, which felt more than a little unnecessary. Thankfully, Paramount and Sheridan made the wise decision to untether Reeves’ story from the Yellowstone universe. It proved a much better route to take, as the influential historical figure didn’t need his story undercut by the fictional escapades of the Dutton family.
Who Is Bass Reeves?
So first off, who exactly is Bass Reeves? Why was it so important for his story to be disconnected from the fictional family strife of the Yellowstone universe? Well, to show how important Reeves is as a historical figure, do us a favor and think about your favorite hero from your favorite Western story — The Lone Ranger, Shane, Arthur Morgan. We’d be willing to bet that the real-life adventures of Bass Reeves at least indirectly inspired all these characters and more.
Born in 1838, Bass Reeves was one of the millions of Black individuals born as a slave before the Civil War. Once the war began, Bass also became one of the many slaves who were forced to serve the Confederacy in the bloodiest conflict in American history. Not keen on joining that historic body count, Reeves found the opportunity to escape into the Native American territory of Oklahoma. For years, that is where Bass spent his life, learning the ways of the Native population before the war ended and the 13th Amendment was passed.
The end of the Civil War meant the aggressive expansion of the Wild West, where crime and lawlessness were abundant, particularly in the part of the country where Reeves fled during the war. Due to Reeves’ familiarity with the area, experience in combat, and understanding of Native American traditions, U.S. Marshal James Fagan deputized Reeves, thus making him the first Black U.S. Marshal west of the Mississippi.
Bass Reeves Had a Long, Successful Career as a U.S. Marshal
The rest of Bass Reeves’ story sounds like it could have come straight from a John Ford Western film. Over his 30-plus-year career, Reeves incarcerated more than 3,000 people — the highest arrest record of any U.S. Marshal in history. One of those people was one of his own 11 children, Bennie Reeves, who Bass decided to personally bring in after Bennie was accused of murdering his wife. That’s only scratching the surface of Bass Reeves’ escapades, which also included disguising himself to track down wanted criminals.
Unfortunately, despite Bass Reeves’ unparalleled service to his country, his story does end in an unfortunate way. Institutionalized racism was still alive and well in the now-tamed Wild West, and Reeves was no longer allowed to serve as a U.S. Marshal following Oklahoma’s induction as a state, purely because of his skin color. That still didn’t stop Reeves’ illustrious career from being chronicled and told, even after his eventual death in 1910.
Bass Reeves Is Interesting Enough Without ‘Yellowstone’ Ties
As the man widely credited with being the inspiration for The Lone Ranger, there is already more than enough to cover with the tale of Bass Reeves. A Black man escaping slavery, learning the ways of the Native American population, and then becoming the most prolific law enforcement Marshal in U.S. history is a story that deserved proper telling, which is exactly why, in hindsight, a connection to Yellowstone would have been more of a detriment than a benefit.
Firstly, there would’ve been a bit of irony in a prominent Black historical figure being tied to a fictional white family. It’s not a great look to take a legendary real-life individual like Bass Reeves and use his legacy and influence in a story largely consisting of fictional characters. That’s not to say including historical figures in fictional stories is impossible. That was proven in various allusions to Reeves himself in HBO’s Watchmen series, where the Marshal is appropriately used as a nod to how he was an early progenitor of the superhero archetype.
Secondly, and most importantly, as Reeves’ own life demonstrates, his story is significantly interesting without the need for any fictional elements. Yes, some characters have been added to the series for more dimension, and some events have been changed to fit different storytelling needs, but those changes are few and minor. 30 years is a long span to cover, and with its only season, Lawmen: Bass Reeves proved there’s more than enough to explore that doesn’t involve the lineage of Costner’s John Dutton.
Between indie breakouts, experimental hits, and legacy franchises, horror cinema has expanded to unpredictable dimensions in 2026. The supernatural psychological horror, Obsession, further reinforced that the genre will continue to evolve in surprising ways. YouTube creator Curry Barker’s theatrical feature debut, the movie puts a new spin on the “careful what you wish for” trope with a young man’s earnest wish for his friend to fall in love with him turning into a deadly nightmare. On its release, the film became a cult hit and has already been called an instant classic.
While Obsession has been sweeping acclaim and accolades for its standout performances and production, the year has also seen the releases of several other remarkable films that rival (and in some cases, surpass) the new horror hit. Many of these are films that earned critical acclaim, but haven’t had quite the same cultural footprint or mainstream traction, overshadowed by Obsession’s viral success. So, without further ado, here’s our selection of 2026 horror movies that are arguably better than Obsession.
1
‘Hokum’ (2026)
Written and directed by Damian McCarthy and starring Adam Scott, Hokum is a supernatural horror film about Ohm Bauman, a novelist who travels to Ireland to scatter his parents’ ashes. While staying at a remote hotel full of secrets and ghost stories, Ohm encounters a murder, horrifying visions, and disturbing events that force him to uncover the truth while also dealing with his personal demons. The movie’s cast also includes Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh, Michael Patric, and Austin Amelio.
First screened at the 2026 South by Southwest Film Festival, Hokum is an atmospheric blend of good old haunted house motifs, folk horror, murder mystery, and self-awareness, woven together with jump scares and psychological dread. Adam Scott plays against type and is riveting as a genuinely detestable character, a performance that earned him widespread acclaim. The film is a terrifying metaphor for guilt and trauma that can scare you just as much as Obsession.
2
‘Backrooms’ (2026)
Backrooms marks the feature directorial debut of YouTuber and visual artist Kane Parsons, who adapts his internet phenomenon into a chilling sci-fi psychological horror film. Set in the 1990s, the film follows Clark, a furniture store owner who discovers a hidden portal in the basement that opens into an endless maze of yellow-walled rooms. When Clarke goes missing in the labyrinth, his therapist sets out to find him, only to discover her own reality distorting. Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve lead the cast, with Mark Duplass, Finn Bennett, and Lukita Maxwell in other key roles.
Claustrophobic and confusing, Backrooms successfully adapts a viral internet concept into a creepy cinematic experience. The film’s unusual concept comes to life with terrific camerawork and surreal effects that make the horror feel all the more intimate. Since its release, the movie has been phenomenally successful, both critically and commercially, and it even became A24’s highest-grossing film of all time, making Parsons the youngest filmmaker to reach number one at the United States box office.

‘Send Help’ (2026)
Sam Raimi returns to horror after 17 years with this chilling survival horror thriller that once again proves his mastery of the genre. Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien as the central characters, Send Help follows Linda, a finance employee, and Bradley, her newly appointed boss, who survive a plane crash and get stranded on a deserted island. While they wait for help, their desperate attempts to survive increase tensions between them, sparked by their professional hostility, leading to dangerous outcomes. The movie’s cast also includes Edyll Ismail, Xavier Samuel, Chris Pang, and Dennis Haysbert.
Filled with madness, gore, and a menacing employee-employer chemistry, Send Help makes for a welcome return for Raimi to his signature style and genre. McAdams is riveting as the overlooked employee-turned-survivor, evenly matched by O’Brien’s arrogant boss. Simultaneously frightening and darkly funny, Send Help has garnered critical acclaim for its clever writing and performances, which often surpass those of Obsession, even if it didn’t exactly shatter box office records.

‘28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ (2026)
The fourth entry in Alex Garland’s 28 Days film series, directed by Nia DaCosta, 28 Years Later: Bone Temple is a direct sequel to 2025’s 28 Years Later and follows Spike, a young survivor from the previous film, who is now adopted into Sir Lord Jimmy Crystal’s Satanic cult. Simultaneously, the isolated Dr. Ian Kelson comes closer to finding a cure with his Alpha Infected friend, Samson. Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, and Chi Lewis-Parry reprise their roles from the previous film, appearing alongside Robert Rhodes, Erin Kellyman, Emma Laird, and Sam Locke.
The 28 Days Later film series has become the definitive modern zombie horror franchise, and Bone Temple successfully expands on that reputation. Alongside deeper dread and more gruesome violence, the latest installment also boasts thought-provoking themes and emotional moments. Powered by its compelling performances, the film escapes every expectation and predictability of the genre and easily ranks among the best films of 2026.

‘Exit 8’ (2026)
Directed by Genki Kawamura, Exit 8 is a Japanese psychological mystery horror film based on the 2023 video game The Exit 8 by Kotake Create. The film follows an anonymous man, dubbed the Lost Man, who is stuck in a time loop inside a Tokyo Metro corridor and must find the anomalies in each loop to escape the endless repetition. Kazunari Ninomiya plays the central character, with Yamato Kochi, Nana Komatsu, Naru Asanuma, and Kotone Hanase in notable roles.
Exit 8 premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Feature Film and earned rave reviews from critics. The film eliminates all visual distractions with its simplistic, sterile environment and minimal, unnamed characters, allowing the audience to feel as helpless and hopeless as the protagonist. Released in the U.S. a year later, Exit 8 has earned praise from reviewers and fans alike for successfully translating the original experience of the game onto the screen.

‘Faces of Death’ (2026)

A meta-horror reimagining of the 1978 film, Faces of Death follows Margot, a content moderator for a video platform called Kino, who comes across a series of videos depicting brutal executions and deaths recreated from the titular cult horror film. When she investigates the veracity of the content, she discovers a sadistic serial killer obsessed with the movie who’s chasing online fame by posting gruesome murders. Barbie Ferreira stars as Margo, with Dacre Montgomery, Josie Totah, Aaron Holliday, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX in supporting roles.
Directed by Daniel Goldhaber, Faces of Death sits right at the intersection of fiercely untraditional, deviant, and heavily meta, drawing from the exploitative nature of the original film. While its narrative is morbid and gory, it is also an intelligent and well-performed depiction of the current social media landscape and internet sleuthing. First screened at the 2026 Beyond Fest, Faces of Death earned praise for its smart meta-commentary on digital desensitization, as well as its thrilling performances, though it did face some criticism for its use of generic slasher tropes.
7
‘Leviticus’ (2026)
An Australian coming-of-age romantic supernatural horror film written and directed by Adrian Chiarella in his feature directorial debut, Leviticus follows two teenage boys in a tight-knit, religious community who are forced to undergo a supernatural conversion therapy ritual. Following the ritual, each of them gets terrorized by a terrifying shapeshifting entity that turns into the person they desire the most: each other. The film stars Joe Bird, Stacy Clausen, Jeremy Blewitt, and Mia Wasikowska.
As a tense supernatural horror built around a tender teenage romance, Leviticus is affecting in the most unexpected ways. The film’s horror does not come from the unseen entity but from how the entity’s presence causes a creeping dread in the characters, and by extension, in the audience. At the time of its premiere at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, Leviticus earned sweeping praise for its story and performances, surpassing the critical acclaim of Obsession, even if it does not match the latter’s record-breaking success.

Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson are looking back at the television romance that made them household names.
Their “Modern Family” characters, Cameron Tucker and Mitchell Pritchett, became one of television’s most recognizable gay couples. However, that attention also brought scrutiny.
Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson featured in “Modern Family,” which ran from 2009 to 2020. The hit sitcom got 85 Emmy nominations and 22 wins during its run.
Stonestreet and Ferguson first met when producers tested potential actors for Cam alongside Ferguson, who had already been cast as Mitchell. Ferguson said the process was like speed dating with everyone waiting for the right chemistry. “I was certainly drawn to Eric as a person, he said.
Stonestreet had already auditioned three times and felt confident about his interpretation of Cam. During the network test, he suddenly felt the room go cold when a joke failed to land.
He panicked and performed a “gay Z snap,” leaving the audition convinced he had ruined his chances. Ferguson described his costar as kind, sweet, and excited to be there. The Kansas-born actor also recalled that the LGBTQ+ advocate reassured him after the audition.
Their contrasting personalities eventually became part of what made Cam and Mitch work. Ferguson explained that Mitchell found comfort in Cam’s free spirit. The Guardian reported that both actors still see their characters as a relationship built on opposites attracting.
Ferguson and Stonestreet also remain close friends despite living in different cities. Their real-life friendship has continued long after “Modern Family” ended its 11-season run in 2020.
The PDA Debate Put Stonestreet And Ferguson Under A Microscope
The Broadway veteran, Ferguson, said the PDA discussion was especially interesting because other couples on the show were not constantly scrutinized for their affection. In his words, “When you looked at all the couples on the show, there’s not a ton of PDA between Jay and Gloria either, but because we were the gay couple, we took the heat.”
Stonestreet also remembered feeling hurt by one particular assumption. Some viewers believed he avoided kissing Ferguson because Stonestreet is straight. He rejected that idea and pointed out that he had previously appeared in the gay cult film “Girls Will Be Girls,” where he made out with a drag queen.
The actors explained that the limited PDA was ultimately connected to Mitchell’s personality. The writers developed Mitchell as someone uncomfortable with public displays of affection. That storyline eventually became central to the episode “The Kiss.”
The 2010 episode handled the issue by showing Mitch sharing an affectionate moment with his father. In the background, Cam and Mitch finally shared the kiss viewers had been waiting for. Stonestreet described the speculation about his reluctance to kiss Ferguson as hurtful.
“The Kiss” became an important moment in the show’s approach to LGBTQ+ representation. “Modern Family” ultimately earned 85 Emmy nominations and 22 wins during its run, including two wins for Stonestreet.
The ‘Greatest Moment Ever’ Happened Off Camera
During a conversation on Ferguson’s “Dinner’s On Me” podcast, the actors remembered an unforgettable accident involving the show’s casting director. Stonestreet immediately called it “the greatest moment ever.” The incident happened inside the show’s craft-service area.
Ferguson explained that the space was essentially a transparent glass box sitting in the middle of the stage, complete with a kitchen, coffee machine, and seating area. The cast was eating breakfast when casting director Jeff Greenberg walked directly toward the glass.
The Kansas-born actor admitted that everyone actually watched the accident coming from far away without doing anything. Greenberg’s face print remained on the glass, and the production taped around it so the mark stayed there for months. The Blast revealed that Ferguson could barely contain his laughter when Stonestreet brought it up.
The ‘Modern Family’ Reunion
Two years after the “Modern Family” finale, Ferguson and Stonestreet reunited in New York City. The former costars shared photos and videos from their meeting on their respective Instagram accounts. The Emmy Award winner captioned his post and tagged Ferguson, “A meet-cute two years in the making. Missed this guy a lot. Love you.”
Their reunion began with an emotional hug between the longtime friends. Ferguson exclaimed, “Oh My God, Hi!” before embracing Stonestreet, who cried out, “It’s been two years.” The pair also posed together on a New York City street before sharing a particularly affectionate moment.
In one photo, Ferguson leaned over and gave Stonestreet a peck on the cheek. Ferguson captioned his own Instagram post “Huzzzbin,” while also sharing their reunion hug on his Instagram Story. The Blast reported that fans immediately flooded the comments with affection for the former on-screen husbands.
Eric Stonestreet Had A Secret Wedding
Stonestreet married Lindsay Schweitzer on September 8, 2025. It was an intimate ceremony at their Kansas City home after keeping the wedding secret. The couple had been together for years before quietly exchanging vows.
The secrecy was so extensive that even Schweitzer’s twin sons did not know about the wedding until they returned from school that day. The 54-year-old talked about the wedding with Ferguson during his appearance on the “Dinner’s on Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson” podcast released on January 13
After they married, the Emmy Award winner sent out a prepared text containing photographs to everyone else. The September 8 date also carried personal meaning because it fell between their birthdays.
PEOPLE reported that several “Modern Family” castmates were surprised by the secret wedding but responded with congratulations and support.
They say your best suit is your birthday suit.
Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski, Beyoncé and Heidi Klum are just some of the stars who have shown off what their mama gave them while posing topless.
Beyoncé went near naked in October 2024 while dressing up as Michael Jackson for Halloween. In one shot she shared via Instagram, the singer ditched her costume and held her breasts while rocking purple gloves. She teamed her daring look with diamond jewelry and black underwear.
Ratajkowski also went topless while giving fans a glimpse at “divorce rings” — and her chest — in March 2024, which she got after her split with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. At the time, she flaunted her diamond rings while laying topless in bed.
Lori Harvey also turned up the heat by going topless, expertly covering her chest with her hand while posing in the sand in September 2026.

Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper has pleaded not guilty to domestic violence charges after multiple June arrests.
Cooper, 28, now awaits trial, scheduled to begin on Tuesday, November 10. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for Friday, October 30.
The sixth-year pro faces a felony charge of second-degree assault by strangulation and three misdemeanors after he was arrested on June 4 and again on June 11.
The first arrest came after an alleged altercation that occurred after Cooper’s then-girlfriend accused him of cheating and subsequently threw his phone against a wall.
UPDATE — 1/9/26, 4:30 p.m. ET: New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs’ arraignment has been delayed until February 13, TMZ confirmed on Friday, January 9. It had been scheduled for January 23, just two days before the AFC Championship Game. That meant the arraignment could have determined Diggs’ availability for the game, if the […]
Both Cooper and his ex were arrested following the incident. An arrest affidavit obtained by ESPN revealed that a nurse who examined his girlfriend found she had been choked, leading to an injury that carried a “substantial risk of death,” including possible traumatic brain injury.
A week later, he allegedly violated a protection order by attempting to contact his ex, allegedly sending 20 text messages and calling her twice.
The weekend after his arrests, Cooper took to Instagram, where he posted a bible verse followed by a public statement.
“I apologize to my family and my friends and my community. … And so many others,” he wrote. “I realize positing a bible (verse) after something very serious happens does not just mean everything is okay.”
He added in another post, “I apologize. This situation is not who I am.”
Cooper could face between five and 16 years in prison if convicted.
The NFL placed Cooper on the commissioner’s exempt list on Sunday, August 30, meaning he cannot play in games or practice with the team, but will still be paid while the NFL reviews whether he violated the league’s personal conduct policy. A suspension from the NFL is also possible.
“’It’s part of the process,’ Broncos general manager George Paton told reporters. ‘We continue to take this very seriously. We’re going to continue to monitor all the legal developments and continue to support Jonathon. Jonathon’s worked very hard to better himself and it’ll be good to have him in the building, be in meetings and just be a part of the team.”
Head coach Sean Payton said that part of the conditions the team laid out for Cooper was for him to attend therapy. He added that while Cooper cannot play in games or practice, he is making the most out of still being able to use the team facility.
“We wait on the league,” Payton, 62, said. In the meantime, the difference now is he’s in the facility, he’s lifting, he’s in the meetings. He can’t practice, and then we just wait for this process to play out.”
Prior to going on the exempt list, Cooper played in the Broncos’ preseason games, including against the Minnesota Vikings on Friday, August 28.

Actor Alec Baldwin is still making headlines over the fatal “Rust” shooting, which took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021. A new documentary feature by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Rory Kennedy will hit theaters in October 2026, five years after the fatal shooting.
Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Rory Kennedy created a documentary based on years of footage following the accidental shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021. The feature has been acquired by Abramorama for a North American release and awards campaign, as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
The documentary will include behind-the-scenes footage from “Rust,” along with footage of the police interrogation and the legal trial that followed. “The Trial of Alec Baldwin” will open in New York on October 1 at Village East by Angelika. It will then premiere in Los Angeles on October 15 at the Laemmle Monica before heading to Laemmle Noho 7 before its theatrical release.
The Documentary Does Not ‘Shy Away From Complexity Or Discomfort’
Karol Martesko-Fenster, CEO of AB2 Media Group and Abramorama, told THR that the documentary “doesn’t shy away from complexity or discomfort,” adding, “Rory and her [life and producing] partner Mark Bailey have crafted a film that goes beyond the headlines to ask hard questions about how we assign blame, process tragedy, and judge public figures in real time. We’re honored to partner with them in bringing this story to theaters.”
Kennedy and Bailey went on to say, “We felt this was an important story for our times, a vital story about the state of our judicial system. Alec is an enduring and undeniably significant figure in Hollywood, and the trial surrounding Rust raised questions well beyond what transpired on set. Alongside Abramorama, we are eager to bring this documentary to theater audiences so that the broader public can grapple with the complex questions at the heart of the film.”
‘Rust’ Director Joel Souza Regrets Finishing The Movie
![Police in the US have released video footage from the set of the film Rust, including of the aftermath of the fatal shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin. Halyna Hutchins, 42, was shot by Mr Baldwin while he rehearsed with what he believed to be a safe gun. Footage, which has no audio, released shows Baldwin dressed as a cowboy rehearsing with a gun ahead of the deadly shooting. He can be seen in stills from that video posing with the gun, and with ammo / ammunition on his costume in a scene set in a church. A clapper board with Ms Hutchins' name on it can also be seen. It's not known if the gun he is holding is the one that fired the deadly bullets. The actor, who was also a producer on the film, previously said he did not pull the trigger and had no idea how a live bullet came to be on the set near Santa Fe in the US state of New Mexico. The Santa Fe County sheriff’s office released a trove of documents released to the investigation this week. 26 Apr 2022 Pictured: Alec Baldwin seen in stills from video footage of Rust rehearsals released by investigators in the US.

In May 2025, Joel Souza spoke to The Guardian about the film. Although they finished production and released the film, Souza said he returned to the project only because Halyna Hutchins’ family wanted it completed.
“I’d been repelled by the thought of going back, but [then] it started to appeal. And I couldn’t live with the idea of someone else doing it,” he said at the time, although he did say that he wished he had never written the film.
“Talk about the butterfly effect — I wish I never wrote the d-mn movie,” he said. “You think about the chain of events that started that morning [of the shooting]. Bad decision after bad decision was made.”
When asked about his relationship with Baldwin, the director said that they were not “enemies,” but there is “no relationship” following the shooting. He was also not a fan of Baldwin’s reality show, “The Baldwins,” and had some pretty harsh words for the actor.
“I think I was busy hitting myself in the face with a frying pan that night [it aired],” Souza said.
Alec Baldwin Is Thinking About Retirement
In April 2026, the “30 Rock” alum said he was thinking about retiring after the shooting. At the time, he appeared as a guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, which was recorded in front of an audience at the Boulder International Film Festival.
“We had this incident, this tragedy, in New Mexico, where Halyna Hutchins was killed on the set of the film, and that was unspeakably difficult to deal with … Because of the situation in New Mexico, which was very painful, I wound up staying home a lot,” Baldwin said at the time.
“I was home with my kids for three-and-a-half years — I hardly worked at all — and that’s just changing now. I’m going to go off and do a bunch of things,” he continued. “But I was home, and I got used to it, and I don’t want to leave my house anymore. I don’t. I don’t want to work anymore. I don’t. I really don’t. I want to retire and stay home with my kids.”
He later said that he felt that he was being “edged out” of Hollywood, saying, “The offers just aren’t there.”

If there’s one bag color that deserves more credit, it’s white. Heidi Klum’s latest designer pick shows just how easily it can freshen up an outfit, whether you’re wearing head-to-toe neutrals or your favorite fall basics. The quilted texture and gold hardware only make it feel that much more special.
On August 27, Klum was spotted in Berlin carrying an $8,300 white designer bag with an oversized blazer, matching trousers, a simple T-shirt, aviator sunglasses and sneakers. The bag added a dressier element to an otherwise relaxed monochromatic outfit. Luckily, we found a similar Amazon option for just $24.
Get the Diuy Quilted Leather Crossbody Bag for just $24 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, September 1, 2026, but are subject to change.
The eye-catching details on the Diuy Quilted Leather Crossbody Bag are what make it a close match to Klum’s option. Think diamond quilting, a structured flap and gleaming gold chain hardware, all wrapped up in a compact everyday silhouette. Beyond white, the same purse comes in beige, burgundy, black and several other colors.
Misty Copeland just reminded Us that a basic black top doesn’t have to feel, well, basic. With the right silhouette and styling, the closet staple can look polished, elevated and far more expensive than you’d expect. Her latest outfit is all the inspiration needed to trade an everyday tee for something with a little more […]
And don’t let the smaller shape fool you — this vegan leather bag has two main compartments and a zippered pocket to keep your phone, wallet, keys and other essentials organized. An adjustable chain strap also lets you switch between crossbody and over-the-shoulder wear.
With more than 450 five-star ratings, the budget-friendly bag has plenty of fans on Amazon. One shopper called it the “ideal accessory to elevate any outfit” and praised the “classic diamond pattern,” while another buyer said it looks “classy and elegant,” feels “high quality, sturdy and well-made” and earned them “so many compliments.”
For $24, it’s an easy way to add a little more oomph to outfits without trying too hard. Take a cue from Klum and pair it with crisp neutrals, or throw it on with jeans, knits and dresses all season long. It’s one of those accessories that can make getting dressed feel just a little easier.

If the title doesn’t give it away, American Horror Story is a meditation on what it means to be American, but viewed through a horror lens. The hit anthology horror series has commented on many things in American culture, pulling from different eras to build a truly unnerving experience that leaves viewers scared and contemplative. Meanwhile, the HBO hit teen drama Euphoria has proven that teen shows can go beyond crushes and simple coming-of-age topics. They can be dark and stylish. FX‘s new hit thriller combines these elements, and the show is already a hit — at least on streaming.
Set in the 1980s, this drama is a nostalgic ride back to an era defined by excess and beauty. It is also an era infamously known for giving birth to numerous serial killers, and for the show’s main character, there’s something more than meets the eye regarding a new student. That show is The Shards, the new horror-thriller created by Ryan Murphy (who created American Horror Story) for FX. Based on Bret Easton Ellis’ book of the same name, it stars Igby Rigney (Bret Ellis), Homer Gere (Robert Mallory), Kaia Gerber (Susan Reynolds), Hayes Warner (Debbie Schaffer), and Graham Campbell (Thom Wright).
The Shards has been releasing new episodes for the past four weeks and has managed to crack into the top ten of Disney’s most-watched shows. New episodes air on FX on Wednesdays at 9 pm and stream on Hulu domestically and Disney+ internationally. In its fourth week on Disney+, The Shards is ranked third globally on the platform, according to FlixPatrol. On Hulu, it is the fifth most-watched. This is a drop in rankings because the show shot to number one at premiere but has been overshadowed by hits like Furious. It means viewers may be abandoning the drama, which is reflected in the show’s reception.
What Do Critics Have To Say About ‘The Shards’?
The Shards has elicited a polarizing experience among viewers and critics. Those who love it do so wholeheartedly, and those who don’t, well, hate it. The first season managed a 56% critic score and a 44% audience score, signaling generally negative reviews. Reviewing the show for Collider, Gabrielle Moss was surprised by how restrained the show was, given that the source material is intentionally shocking. Graeme Guttman of ScreenRant echoed Moss’ sentiments, calling the adaptation “sanitized”, while Chris La Vigna of CBR had a totally different experience and described the show as masterful.
New episodes of The Shards air Wednesdays, with the season finale set for September 9.
