CNN Makes Bizarre Dolly Parton Blunder During Death Coverage
CNN has apologized to Dolly Parton’s family after mistakenly airing a photograph of Las Vegas tribute performer Kelly Vohnn while reporting on the country music icon’s death. The image appeared during “Laura Coates Live” approximately 12 hours after Parton’s family announced that she had died at age 80. Vohnn said she learned about the mistake when friends began flooding her phone with messages claiming they had seen her on CNN.
According to the New York Post, CNN used a photograph of Vohnn during its coverage of Parton’s death. The network later acknowledged the mistake in a short statement. “We regret the error and apologize to the Parton family,” CNN told the outlet.
Vohnn said the photograph had been taken in December when she attended a Las Vegas screening of “Song Sung Blue,” the musical drama starring Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman.
The 58-year-old performer was stunned to discover that her red-carpet photo had been presented during coverage of Parton’s passing. “I started getting all these texts in from friends saying that I was on CNN, and I couldn’t believe it,” Vohnn said.
“I was already heartbroken at losing Dolly because of how much she has given to me as a woman and an artist,” she continued. “But then to see these images of me on screen was just weird.”
Kelly Vohnn Blasts CNN Over ‘Embarrassing’ Error
Vohnn, who has portrayed Parton throughout her career as a tribute performer, criticized CNN for failing to correctly identify the woman in the image. “Somebody at CNN really messed up and didn’t do their research,” she said.
The performer argued that the network had decades of genuine Parton photographs and career moments from which to choose. “I felt so sorry and apologetic for Dolly, because over her career there are so many wonderful images and moments that they could have chosen from, and CNN just picked something not appropriate,” Vohnn said.
The Parton impersonator also made it clear that she had never tried to convince anyone that she was Parton. “To be clear, I have never represented myself as being Dolly ever in my life,” she explained. “I have always been known as a tribute act for her and many other stars. It was quite embarrassing, to be honest.”
Although Vohnn considered reaching out to the network, she said her grief following Parton’s death took priority. “I thought about calling CNN, but was really consumed by the grief of losing Dolly [and] I just wanted to be at home with my thoughts, raising a glass of wine to that brilliant woman,” she explained.
Parton had played a significant role in Vohnn’s life and career, even though the two women were not personally connected in the way the mistaken image may have suggested. “Dolly has been a real force in my life, helping me through the lowest and highest moments of my life,” Vohnn said. “She really changed the world for so many people [and] for me personally.”
Kelly Vohnn Built A Career As A Tribute Performer
Born and raised in Toronto, Vohnn began performing in the Keith Burton Tribute Show before pursuing her own career in country music. She recorded a debut album titled “A New Beginning” and later returned to tribute work while raising three children. Vohnn eventually relocated her family to Las Vegas, where she developed her one-woman production, “Kelly Vohnn Divas.”
Her career also included appearances in Las Vegas shows such as “Cowboy Cabaret” and “Cowboy Christmas.” Vohnn portrayed multiple celebrities while working as a “Dealertainer” at the Imperial Palace, combining casino dealing with live impersonation performances.
Parton was not her only signature character. Vohnn also became known for portraying Reba McEntire and won a Reba look-alike contest in New York City in November 2010.
Dolly Parton Died At Age 80
Parton’s family announced that the singer died “peacefully” at age 80. A small, private service will be held for close family members, according to the family’s statement.
Her publicist, Marcel Pariseau, later said Parton died “after bravely facing a brief battle with cancer.”

Sci-fi covers a lot of ground, but some stories use the genre’s elements so cleverly that they are impossible to ignore. Streaming has embraced sci-fi in recent years, leading to a major renaissance on television, and each new series has carved out a unique niche, including everything from aliens and technology to dystopian disasters. One of the most fascinating examples is Apple TV’s Severance. Its unique concept makes it undisputedly sci-fi, but it also draws characters and viewers alike into the mysteries surrounding the sinister Lumon Industries.
While sci-fi has a growing presence on TV, one of the most exciting entries in the genre is a book that has yet to make it to the screen. Stuart Turton‘s The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle was published in 2018 and quickly became a bestseller, even coming close to getting a Netflix adaptation. With a time-loop murder mystery that’s tailor-made for episodic television, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle deserves its own miniseries.
What Is ‘The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle’ About?
The sci-fi genre thrives on futuristic settings, whether the story takes place in a dystopian world or one with advanced technology, but The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is unique in that it takes place in the English countryside in the 1920s, making it akin to a period drama without sacrificing any sci-fi elements. The story follows Aiden Bishop, a man with amnesia who arrives at Blackheath Manor in time for a party, but the event quickly turns dark when the host’s daughter, Evelyn Hardcastle, is killed that night.
The bigger twist comes the next morning, when Aiden wakes up as a different guest in the manor and relives the same day. Then, he learns that he is competing with two other individuals to solve Evelyn’s murder, and only the winner gets to leave. With only eight chances to uncover the identity of Evelyn’s killer, he relives the same day on a loop, each time getting a different perspective on the impending tragedy. While this conceit could risk becoming repetitive, the book’s setup allows for new narrative revelations with each cycle. With memorable characters and plenty of surprises, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is a thrilling whodunit, perfect for fans of period stories and murder mysteries with a sci-fi twist.
‘The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle’ Deserves Another Shot at Adaptation
Previously, Netflix saw the potential of The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and announced a television adaptation in 2020, but it was canceled a few years later. Though it’s unclear why the series was scrapped, the book has unique adaptation challenges, given the likelihood that eight different actors would be portraying the story’s main character. While these elements are unconventional and would undoubtedly require creative solutions, any adaptation has the potential to instantly distinguish itself in the overcrowded TV landscape.
The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle‘s unique format also lends itself to an episodic adaptation. Many shows, especially in the sci-fi genre, struggle to tell their story on streaming, but this novel is set up to be the perfect miniseries, with its time-loop structure perfectly dividing a season into eight distinct episodes. Like Severance, The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle keeps the reader guessing with its combination of sci-fi and mystery, telling a story like no other in a genre that is rapidly becoming more dominant on the small screen.

Jason Statham’s Remake of a Burt Reynolds Action Thriller Surpassed the Original in Every Way
William Goldman’s 1985 novel Heat had the makings of a gritty crime thriller destined to be adapted for the big screen with its exploration of the moody life of a former mercenary-turned-bodyguard, plagued by a gambling addiction and a desire to flee Las Vegas. Goldman’s novel was adapted twice — first, in the 1986 thriller of the same name starring Burt Reynolds under the direction of Dick Richards, and then the 2015 version, called Wild Card, starring Jason Statham by director Simon West.
Reynolds and Statham share something in common: both are world-renowned for their likable charm and ability to handle their own stunts. Yet, where Statham has enjoyed positive collaborations on his films, Reynolds’ bruised ego in the latter half of his career often led to high-profile embarrassments. Neither adaptation of the Goldman novel enjoyed box-office success. However, the Statham version would ultimately become the better take.
What Is William Goldman’s ‘Heat’ About?
According to Sean Egan‘s book William Goldman: The Reluctant Storyteller, the original novel was inspired by the Oscar-winning writer’s distaste for the city of Las Vegas and the seedy means of making a living there. Reynolds’ Heat and Statham’s Wild Card are narrowed down to the Goldman book’s highlights: Las Vegas tough guy Nick “The Mex” Escalante (renamed “Nick Wild” in the Statham version) lives a lonely existence as a “chaperone” with dreams of raising enough money to flee away from Sin City to Venice, Italy. He often gambles in the casinos and takes small jobs to achieve his financial goals, such as allowing a lovelorn client to beat him up to impress a date. The action kicks into gear when Nick gets hired by a sex worker named Holly to get payback against young gangster Danny DeMarco and his thugs who viciously assaulted her. With special combat skills involving edged weapons, Nick succeeds in beating the thugs and allowing Holly to commit a cringe-worthy act on DeMarco’s family jewels.
In the key subplots, Nick gets hired to toughen up a meek rich man, Cyrus, who becomes his unlikely companion. Additionally, Nick seeks to take his earnings from Holly’s job to gamble at the blackjack table to raise enough money to flee to Venice. His luck runs out when he blows all the earnings on a single bet. As Nick finds another path out of Vegas thanks to Cyrus’ generosity, a vengeful DeMarco defies his mobster father “Baby” by hunting the ex-mercenary down.
‘Heat’ Was Burt Reynolds’ Failed Attempt at a Career Comeback
Reynolds saw the Goldman novel as an opportunity to resuscitate his fading movie star status. Recounting this period of his life in his memoir But Enough About Me, the megastar of the ’70s had a string of box office disappointments in the early ’80s and suffered a serious injury to his jaw on the set of City Heat co-starring Clint Eastwood. Additionally, the audience turning to new leading action stars of the day, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, caused the Smokey and the Bandit star to look like a relic of the past. After the failure of his 1985 crime-thriller Stick, Reynolds needed a significant makeover as an on-screen hero. No more fast cars and witty banter with his friend Dom Deluise. The ‘80s was all about men with more action and less talk. Reynolds had to recapture the gritty edge he displayed in his 1981 hit Sharky’s Machine.
On paper, the character of Nick had all the qualities that made Reynolds popular in his prime: masculine, loyal to friends, and a spark in his eye when it came to the ladies. Unfortunately, Heat’s production was troubled right from the start, beginning with director Robert Altman being involved. According to Patrick McGilligan‘s book, Robert Altman: Jumping Off the Cliff – A Biography of the Great American Director, the acclaimed filmmaker behind M*A*S*H dropped out when Goldman refused to change the screenplay adaptation of his novel. Richards took over based on his past collaboration with producer Elliott Kasner on the adaptation of Raymond Chandler‘s Farewell, My Lovely. Reynolds reveals in his memoir that he did not get along with the new director, resulting in a physical altercation that led to a years-long lawsuit. Between Reynolds’ fading star power and the behind-the-scenes creative issues, Heat was nowhere near the intense street-level thriller Goldman described in the novel. Barely released to theaters in 1986, Heat became an infamous footnote in Reynolds’ historic filmmography.
Jason Statham’s Brutality Is on Full Display in ‘Wild Card’
When Wild Card was made decades later, the film was tailored to the British action star known for his proficient martial arts skills and charming wit. Yet, it went as far as faithfully adapting the original screenplay that Goldman wrote before it was altered in production. The story beats remained mostly the same as Heat but with one key difference: Statham is more believable as a prime badass in every scene than the aging, tired-looking Reynolds. Reynolds’ performance in Heat mirrored the state of his career in 1986. Instead of relying heavily on executing big stunts and Southern charm, he plays Nick like a burned out warrior exhausted by the thrills. Though the film leans heavily on Reynolds’ attempt at giving a realistic performance, he ends up losing his signature charisma in the process. Statham, however, is far more action-driven while playing a man wanting out of a violent world.
‘Wild Card’s Director Had Previously Worked With Jason Statham
Unlike the Reynolds/Richards feud, Statham and West already had a positive working relationship with The Expendables 2 and The Mechanic. With both men having a depth of experience in action, the fight sequences have a greater intensity, closer to Statham’s Crank movies, than the ‘70s-looking approach that Heat took on. One clear-cut example is the scene of Nick using edged items against DeMarco’s thugs. Heat relies on slow-motion shots and quick cuts of Reynolds striking at the camera to hide his physical limitations with age. Wild Card’s version, however, goes even further in cranking the motion of the shots, similar to The Matrix’s bullet-time technique, for the audience to get the full effect of Nick’s brutality.
Wild Card’s more cohesive actor/director partnership goes beyond what’s on the screen. Director West, who replaced Brian De Palma on the project, had a better collaboration with Goldman than the filmmakers of the 1986 film. Recalling an early conversation with Goldman in an interview with Den of Geek, West’s direction of Statham for nearly every scene in Wild Card is driven by the writer’s description of Nick as the most dangerous man in Vegas “even when he’s not doing anything, everybody in the room knows that, and everybody knows his history, what he’s capable of. And so, he ultimately, doesn’t have to do that much, because he is the toughest guy in Vegas.” With that description in mind, the character of Nick was the perfect embodiment of the no-nonsense Statham as opposed to the remorseful Reynolds.
‘Wild Card’s Cast Elevates the Jason Statham Action Movie
Another aspect of Wild Card that makes it a superior film to Heat is its supporting cast. Though Heat enjoyed fine performances from Karen Young and Diana Scarwid, the rest of the cast, including WKRP in Cincinnati‘s Howard Hesseman, appeared as if they were only there to collect a paycheck. Statham, however, has been fortunate enough to surround himself with bigger stars, whether it is The Expendables, Parker, or The Beekeeper. The performances in Wild Card shine with high-caliber talents breathing life into Goldman’s street-level characters, including Milo Ventimiglia as DeMarco, Hope Davis as Nick’s card dealer friend Cassandra, Jason Alexander as Nick’s pal Pinky, and Stanley Tucci as Baby.
The standout of Wild Card’s ensemble is Michael Angarano as Cyrus, originally played by Peter MacNichol in Heat. The former’s take on the self-made millionaire has a strong apprentice characteristic next to Nick akin to Ben Foster’s role opposite Statham in The Mechanic. The ability of Angarano’s Cyrus to hold his own to Statham’s Nick is much stronger than MacNichol softening Heat’s gritty tone by playing the role as Reynolds’ latest comedic sidekick.
Wild Card did not do strong enough business in theaters to warrant a new franchise for Statham, as Heat failed to stop Reynolds’s box office slide. Yet, the differences in both films’ stars and the behind-the-scenes atmosphere made a huge difference in the overall quality. While Heat became an infamous chapter in Reynolds’ long career, Statham’s performance of Wild Card only added to his credibility as a legit modern-day action star, appearing in newer popular films like A Working Man and The Beekeeper.

Sharp lines, modern cuts and sleek dress silhouettes have been all the rage lately, but as summer comes to a close, it seems the fashion world is having a shift. Everyone is suddenly craving styles with softer, more feminine details for fall, and it’s one of many reasons why cowl neck dresses are surging in popularity (again).
Stemming from the Old Hollywood era, these elegant-looking dresses feature drapey necklines, body-hugging fits and rich color options that ooze upscale style. It’s no wonder legendary actresses like Greta Garbo wore the chic look in the 1930s, and ‘It’ girls are donning the design now in the 2020s — and more specifically, fall 2026. We found flattering, glamorous options that’ll take you from farmers’ markets to black-tie events without spending a fortune. However, once people see you in these styles from Lulus, Petal & Pup and All in Favor, they just might think you did.
13 Trendy Cowl Neck Dresses That Every ‘It’ Girl Is Wearing
1. Our Favorite: There’s nothing more confidence-boosting than a cocktail dress that flatters your body from head to toe, or at least to the hem! The subtle cowl neckline provides a U-shape that draws the eye up toward your face. Plus, the floral pattern and gathers are so slimming.
2. Everyday Ease: While this dress style is usually for upscale events, there’s no reason why you can’t wear it on a typical Thursday. This mini tank dress weaves the elegant neckline into an otherwise casual style. Wear it with sneakers for brunch or with kitten heels for date night.
3. Pop of Color: Designed with gorgeous deep colors, like this dark blue style, this maxi cocktail dress effortlessly adds a splash to an otherwise neutral fall wardrobe. The mesh overlay extends a bit beyond the hem, adding a little extra something that looks luxe.
4. Euro Chic: This cowl neck midi dress is a mix between Old Hollywood and elegant European style due to the pencil-like silhouette, all-over ruching and short sleeves. It comes in four classic colors, but we like the soft apricot style best.
5. Anything But Basic: We’re kind of obsessed with this elevated midi dress, which has all the classic details of a cowl neck style; however, the back is what makes it stand out. The low back design features a plunging drape with a thin tie that really seals the deal.
6. No Brainer: Made with a shiny satin-like material, this midi slip dress simply glides over your body most beautifully. The floral details combined with the sheen finish give it an almost holographic appearance that’s sure to stun.
7. CEO Energy: Going from the office to a charity event? Opt for this flowy maxi dress that embodies the sophisticated look with a work-appropriate twist. Psst, we love the slimming gold hardware detail on the side.
8. Vacation-Worthy: If you have a last-minute trip on the books, you’ll want to check out this tropical halter dress that’s designed with island-inspired colors, a sexy high slit and slimming ruching. It also comes in eight other colors, so you can rock the style come fall.
9. Wedding Guest: Although we love the cowl neckline, sometimes it shows a little too much skin for events like weddings. This formal bodycon dress gives you the refined look with enough coverage to be tasteful. This pick is also designed with a ruffle trim that feels ethereal.
10. Quite the Charmer: We’re all about the asymmetrical hem on this Petal & Pup dress, giving it an interesting take on the classic, while also creating a gorgeous flow while you walk.
11. Going Viral: Haven’t you heard? Patternmaxxing is set to be fall 2026’s biggest trend. This All in Favor dress features the autumnal pattern in a rich brown hue. We guarantee you’ll wear it for everything from shopping in Soho to drinks with the girls.
12. Playful Pattern: Anyone with a trained eye will snap up this Lulus midi dress ASAP. In addition to the soft pleated neckline, it also has mesh and satin materials juxtaposing one another for texture and a bit of playfulness we totally appreciate. Oh, and the mesh skirt shows off your legs in a subtle way.
13. Instant Upgrade: Made with a gorgeous jacquard material, this free-flowing maxi dress appears polished yet wearable at the very same time. While it fits nicely on the body, the material doesn’t suck you in, so you can feel comfortable as you bust a move on the dance floor.

Television changed when writers stopped treating an episode as the finish line. Characters could now make one terrible decision in season one and still be paying for it years later. Jobs, marriages, addictions, institutions, and private lies had room to accumulate history. The medium became less about what happened this week and more about what a person slowly became. Not to mention the stories just ended up becoming so much more dense and character arcs became complex.
That shift produced shows with wildly different rhythms, yet the very best share one quality. They make time feel productive. Ten hours deepen a relationship. Forty episodes alter how we understand a character. A final season can make an early conversation suddenly look different. These six used long-form storytelling with almost ruthless precision.

‘The Leftovers’ (2014–2017)
The Leftovers begins three years after two percent of the world’s population disappears without explanation. The event, known as the Sudden Departure, leaves families shattered and whole communities desperate to invent meaning around something that may never provide any. Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux) tries to hold together his life in Mapleton while his wife Laurie Garvey (Amy Brenneman) has joined the Guilty Remnant, his children are drifting, and his own grip on reality feels increasingly unreliable. Nora Durst (Carrie Coon) carries an even crueler burden after losing her husband and both children in the same instant.
The series becomes extraordinary once it stops behaving like a mystery that owes the audience an answer. Grief, faith, coincidence, madness, and love all compete to explain experiences that may resist explanation entirely. Nora’s anger can be funny one moment and devastating the next, while Kevin keeps crossing lines between psychological breakdown and something harder to dismiss. The move to Jarden in season two expands the world without abandoning the emotional damage already built. The Leftovers asks for patience early, then rewards it with some of the most fearless and strangely tender television of its era.
5
‘Succession’ (2018–2023)
Succession turns the future of a global billion-dollars media empire into a family argument that never really stopped after childhood. Logan Roy (Brian Cox) controls Waystar Royco, while Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong), Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook), Roman Roy (Kieran Culkin), and Connor Roy (Alan Ruck) orbit his power with different mixtures of ambition, fear, resentment, and need. Board votes, acquisitions, scandals, elections, and investor meetings matter, but almost every corporate crisis is also somebody trying to earn approval from a father who understands exactly how useful withheld affection can be.
That overlap between business and family gives the series its extraordinary tension. Kendall can prepare a takeover with lawyers and bankers, then lose his footing because one glance from Logan reactivates years of insecurity. Shiv believes she can remain emotionally independent until power becomes personal. Roman turns humiliation into humor before anyone else can use it against him. The language is vicious and often hilarious, but the jokes work because everybody is fighting for position even during supposedly private moments. Succession makes wealth look enormous and emotional freedom look almost impossible. Four seasons are enough to make every family dinner feel like a hostile negotiation. And never forget, you can’t break a Tomlette (Matthew Macfadyen) without breaking some Greggs (Nicholas Braun). You’re going to thank me once you finally understand this.

‘Mad Men’ (2007–2015)
This show moves patiently, but that patience lets entire lives change without announcing every change when it happens. Mad Men enters New York advertising at the beginning of the 1960s through Don Draper (Jon Hamm), a brilliant creative director whose professional confidence hides a life built on reinvention. Sterling Cooper (John Slattery) sells products by selling identities, and Don understands that process because he has done something similar to himself. Around him, Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) begins carving out a career in a workplace designed to underestimate her, while Joan Holloway (Christina Hendricks), Roger Sterling (John Slattery), Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser), and Betty Draper (January Jones) reveal different costs of living inside the era’s rules.
The advertising campaigns give the show structure, but the deeper pleasure comes from watching social change reach people unevenly. Gender expectations shift. Civil rights reshape the country. Divorce becomes more visible. Youth culture alters what companies want to sell and who gets listened to inside the room. Don can understand consumers brilliantly while remaining baffled by the people closest to him. Peggy’s growth is equally important because her ambition requires constant negotiation between talent and a system reluctant to reward it. It’s a very unique show.
3
‘Better Call Saul’ (2015–2022)
Better Call Saul begins with Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) struggling to build a legitimate legal career while living in the shadow of his older brother Chuck McGill (Michael McKean). Jimmy is clever, persuasive, energetic, and dangerously good at finding the shortcut nobody else considered. His relationship with Kim Wexler (Rhea Seehorn) gives that ambition emotional depth because she understands both his talent and the damage that can follow when persuasion becomes manipulation. Running alongside that story is Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks)’s gradual movement into the criminal world surrounding Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) and the Salamanca family.
The series, which is a Breaking Bad spin-off, by the way, earns its greatness through accumulation. A forged document, a wounded ego, a small lie told for a supposedly understandable reason, and a prank that feels harmless can keep echoing until the consequences become enormous. Chuck’s conflict with Jimmy works because both brothers are partly right about the other, which makes every victory feel contaminated. Kim’s involvement becomes even more painful because she is never simply dragged along. She makes choices. The cartel storyline eventually closes in on the legal world with terrifying precision, but the show never forgets that its most important transformation happens through ordinary decisions repeated often enough to become identity. Better Call Saul turns patience into suspense.
2
‘Breaking Bad’ (2008–2013)
This show is slow, sure. But it keeps you hooked in a weird way. Breaking Bad starts with Walter White (Bryan Cranston), a chemistry teacher diagnosed with lung cancer, deciding to manufacture methamphetamine with former student Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul). He tells himself the money will protect his family after his death. That explanation is believable long enough for the series to expose everything else underneath it. Walt enjoys competence, recognition, control, and finally being feared by people who once overlooked him. The criminal world gives those desires somewhere to grow.
What makes the transformation so convincing is how carefully every escalation is connected to an earlier choice. Walt rarely wakes up and decides to become worse. He solves one immediate problem in a way that makes the next moral compromise easier. Jesse moves in the opposite emotional direction, becoming more disturbed by violence as Walt becomes better at rationalizing it. Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito), Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), Skyler White (Anna Gunn), and Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) all pressure different parts of that change without feeling like devices built around the protagonist. The show is suspenseful because consequences are constantly catching up with people who thought they had managed them. Few series have ever controlled cause and effect this well.
1
‘The Wire’ (2002–2008)
The Wire begins with a police investigation into a Baltimore drug organization, then steadily widens its attention until crime becomes only one part of a much larger system. The first season follows detectives trying to build a wiretap case against the Barksdale organization. Later seasons move into the docks, city politics, public schools, and journalism, showing how each institution creates incentives that can defeat the people working inside it. The cast changes focus constantly, yet Baltimore remains the real center of the story.
That structure is what makes the series so difficult to rival. A drug dealer, police commander, teacher, politician, dockworker, journalist, and teenager can all be trapped by different versions of the same problem. Statistics get manipulated because careers depend on them. Schools teach toward numbers instead of children. Police chase arrests instead of solutions. Newspapers cut resources while demanding impact. Characters such as Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West), Stringer Bell (Idris Elba), Omar Little (Michael K. Williams), Bubbles (Andre Royo), Cedric Daniels (Lance Reddick), and eventually the students of season four give those systems human faces without reducing the argument to good people versus bad ones. The Wire can feel dense at first because it expects the viewer to listen. Once the pieces connect, very little television feels as complete.

Ozzy Osbourne’s son, Jack Osbourne, is sharing exciting news about who might potentially play his father in his upcoming biopic.
Following the death of the Prince of Darkness in 2025, the biopic has become a meaningful tribute driven largely by his family. Jack has been working closely on production with his mother, Sharon Osbourne, and sister Aimeè to bring the epic story to light.
Now, it seems production might be moving forward with Jack’s latest comments, and fans are anxious to see what the family might have in store.
Jack Osbourne Hints At ‘Awesome’ Actor For Ozzy’s Biopic
A year after Ozzy’s death, Jack is sharing an update on the much-anticipated biopic.
“Script, done. We’re currently going out to directors. It’s gung ho,” the producer said. When asked if they had an actor in mind to play the godfather of heavy metal, he replied: “We do.”
Jack added that although he was not allowed to say exactly who it was, he was sure it would work out great. “If it all works out, it’s gonna be awesome,” he told E! News.
With the latest developments, the British-American was optimistic that filming could begin soon, sharing that in a perfect world, they would like to be shooting by spring or summer of next year.
The creative direction of the biopic also seems to be taking a different angle, with Jack mentioning that it was very heavily focused on the relationship between Ozzy and Sharon.
“It’s more ‘Walk the Line’ than it is ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ or ‘Michael,’” he shared.
Universal Studios Pays Tribute To Ozzy Osbourne With Haunted House
Celebrations for the Prince of Darkness and his legendary career show no signs of slowing down even a year after his death.
Last month, Universal Studios also announced their tribute to the heavy metal star, with the unveiling of an Ozzy Osbourne-themed haunted house at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights.
It came as a fitting tribute as the music icon’s gothic style is synonymous with the spirit of Halloween.
Per The Blast, Halloween Horror Nights 2026 begins in late August and will run through November 1. Tickets are now on sale, ranging from $90 to $399.
Sharon Osbourne’s Mansion Got A Major Price Cut After Failing To Sell
The much-deserved tribute comes as the Osbourne family continues to make headlines, with the home Sharon and Ozzy shared receiving a major rent cut after failing to sell.
The historic Hancock Park estate, which has seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms, was initially offered at $65,000 per month in June while being listed by Carolwood Estates for sale at $17 million.
The rent was then reduced by $10,000, although the sale price remains the same. Sharon appears ready to either sell the home or continue to generate income through rent.
Despite the huge reduction, however, the house still targets wealthy clientele. The Blast reported that prospective tenants are being asked for a $195,000 security deposit, with only pre-qualified clients allowed to tour the property.
Sharon Osbourne Shared A Loving Anniversary Tribute To Ozzy Osbourne
As Sharon navigates the struggles of selling off the mansion she shared with Ozzy, she took some time out in July to pay tribute to the Prince of Darkness in a deeply emotional post.
July 4 would have been the 46th anniversary of the Hollywood couple, and she did not allow the bittersweet milestone to pass quietly.
“Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary,” She shared on social media, along with a photo of them holding hands before his passing. The 73-year-old went on to talk about how much she missed holding his hand, promising to carry him with her forever, according to The Blast.
Jack Osbourne Welcomed New Daughter With Tribute To Father Ozzy
The family tributes continued to pour in, with Jack also honoring to his father after welcoming his daughter with wife Aree Gearhart.
The Blast reported that on March 11, Jack shared a black-and-white video of his daughter on Instagram, displaying the baby’s name as Ozzy Matilda Osbourne.
This was an ode to the Black Sabbath frontman, who was born John Michael Osbourne, but later adopted the nickname Ozzy, a shortened version of his last name, after students tried to make fun of him for it.
Filming for season 16 of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is underway, with two new stars confirmed to join: former “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” star Tracy Tutor and actress Leah Remini. Now, following the news of the former’s casting, longtime “RHOBH” fan-favorite Dorit Kemsley is weighing in.
Notably, this comes over a year after Tutor publicly called out Kemsley for not paying her bills, to which the mom of two responded.
Following a longer-than-usual break between seasons, Kemsley was spotted in August 2026 filming for season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” Days later, on August 19, Deadline confirmed that Tutor would be among the cast following Amanda Frances‘ exit after a single season.
Now, following the news, Kemsley has offered her reaction in a new interview via TMZ. The “RHOBH” star’s comments came as she was seen leaving court on August 26. In the clip, Kemsley was wearing an all-white outfit as she walked alongside what is assumed to be her legal team.
Once in the car, a reporter first asked how she felt at the time. Kemsley responded, “Good.” After that, they asked if she had met Tutor, and she responded, “No.” When asked if she was “excited” to work with the “Million Dollar Listing” alum, she stated, “Ask me in a couple of weeks.”
As mentioned, various outlets began reporting in August 2026 that Tutor had been cast for season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” After that, the famed reality star took to social media to confirm that the reports were indeed true and that she would be returning to Bravo.
She said in an Instagram post alongside a new photo of herself, “Well… the secret’s officially out. I’m joining the cast of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,’ and I could not be more excited for this next chapter.”
From there, the mom-of-two discussed her ties to the city, saying, “Beverly Hills is home. I’ve raised my girls here, built my career here, and now apparently I’ve decided to let you all even further into my life.” She then teased, “Excited? Very. Nervous? A little. Likely to get into some trouble? Absolutely. So what’s left to say but, Let’s f-cking go.”
Regarding Remini joining the show, she confirmed the news on August 26.
What Tracy Tutor Said About Dorit Kemsley
Tutor appeared on SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live” in March 2025. While on the show, the topic of her hairstylist, Chris Dylan, came up, with one of the hosts noting that he had appeared on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” because he had worked with Kemsley and some of the other cast members.
During the interview, Tutor stated that the hair stylist “used to do Dorit, but that’s over.” When asked why, she responded, “Because she doesn’t pay her bills.” Jeff Lewis then asked if Kemsley still owed Dylan money, to which she stated, “Yes, she does,” before confirming, “A significant amount.”
Then, Tutor was asked whether Dylan was the only contractor Kemsley had failed to pay. According to her, “No, I’m fairly certain, based on my knowledge, there are several people that haven’t been paid by her. In giving examples, Tutor said, “Including my stylist, who I think she just tallied up with, finally. My makeup artist.”
Tutor then said, “So, she’s got my people, yet she likes to throw shade and call me a tacky woman.” Toward the end of the clip, Tutor was asked if she would ever join “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” She responded, saying, “I’m asked that a lot. I mean, I would like to come for a few people.”
Dorit Clapped Back At Tracy Tutor
Kemsley appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” in March 2026, following Tutor’s interview on “Jeff Lewis Live”. During the broadcast, host Andy Cohen mentioned Tutor’s comments, first highlighting how the “Million Dollar Listing” alum had accused Kemsley of “stalking” her Instagram to scout for stylists.
Kemsley said, “It’s hysterical. That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard, like wholeheartedly.” The “RHOBH” star added, “There was a lot of stuff that she said that, I don’t know, it came out of left field.”
After that, she responded to allegations that she failed to pay contractors. According to Kemsley, “In particular, her talking about Chris Dylan, a hairstylist that I worked with this year for the first time in eight years. … He sent an invoice overcharging me and charging me for a hotel that he’d already used my card to pay for.”
She continued, “I think he was just trying to bully this invoice through, not realizing that it goes through a process and my office flagged it. When they had written back, ‘This has already been paid,’ it was like, ‘Oh. I didn’t get away with that?’ Obviously, he needed to resend an invoice.”
Kemsley went on to call Tutor’s appearance on the radio show “attention-seeking” and accused her of “talking about something she knows nothing about.”
Dorit And PK Must Sell Their Home
The marital home shared between Dorit and Paul PK Kemsley has been in limbo for several months, with the couple being behind on mortgage payments. According to TMZ, the estranged couple was ordered on August 26 to sell the $7 million Encino mansion.
Per the judge’s order, Kemsley is allowed to remain in the home until November, with PK paying the mortgage. However, he will be reimbursed from the proceeds of the home sale. Additionally, Dorit will be responsible for all utilities for the house until she departs.
Daveigh Chase’s friend and former business manager, John Ryan, is weighing in on her parents’ legal battle over who will control and manage the late actress’ $400,000 estate.
Ryan — who is siding with Daveigh’s father, John Schwallier — filed paperwork objecting to her mom Cathy Chase’s petition to administer the late star’s estate, according to court docs obtained by Us on Thursday, August 27. He claimed Daveigh told him she wanted to be emancipated from her mom years ago and that he helped her.
“I am aware from my conversations with Daveigh that in the mid-2000s, she filed for legal emancipation from her mother,” he stated in the docs. “At that time, Daveigh told me that she wanted to take this action because she believed that her mother was taking advantage of Daveigh’s finances and putting Daveigh’s physical and mental well-being at risk. Thereafter, I introduced Daveigh to a few professionals that I believed may be able to assist her in the legal emancipation process.”
As her manager, Ryan claimed he is owed fees for work prior to her death and on residuals after her death.
Daveigh Chase’s dad, John Schwallier, is speaking out after her death. Schwallier told The California Post on Monday, June 29, that Chase’s cause of death “doesn’t surprise” him, adding that “it is what it is” and that “it’s something you sometimes have to expect with the lifestyle she was living.” Schwallier shared that Chase’s cremated […]
“Daveigh was estranged from her father when her parents divorced … and still, while a minor, Daveigh became estranged from her mother,” Ryan alleged.
Daveigh’s mom is challenging ex Schwallier’s claim that the Lilo & Stitch star was emancipated from her.
“Cathy does not concede that [her daughter] ever filed for or obtained a declaration of emancipation. She has no knowledge of any such proceeding, was never served with the notice required … and never received the consent form required,” she stated in court docs filed on August 19.
She added that the claim is “entirely unsupported.”
“Even if an emancipation order existed, it would establish nothing about Cathy’s present fitness to administer this estate,” the docs read.
Daveigh’s father filed his own paperwork to appoint his nomination for an administrator of the estate and objected to Cathy filing to appoint herself.
Schwallier’s attorney filed the objection paperwork on August 17, requesting that the court deny Cathy’s petition and approve his nomination or hire a neutral third party.
The late Daveigh Chase’s father, John Schwallier, is remembering his daughter on what would have been her 36th birthday. “Every day I am thinking about her constantly,” Schwallier told the Daily Mail on Friday, July 24. “I just want to wish her a happy birthday today and [tell her] that she is on my mind […]
In his filing, Schwallier acknowledged that Daveigh was estranged from both of her parents and was living on the streets of Los Angeles. He also alleged lack of competency and “believes Daveigh filed for emancipation … from [Cathy] due to allegations of financial irregularities by [her mother].”
Schwallier also objected to Cathy being appointed to manage the estate because she had been separated from Daveigh since her alleged emancipation.
Meanwhile, Cathy is asking the court to deny her ex-husband’s request for appointment as administrator and to deny his alternative request for appointment of a neutral party.
She claimed she has priority as an heir and is “fully competent.” She also cited that she previously took on the role as a trustee for her late daughter and didn’t take money for the role.
According to her lawyer, “a parent who voluntarily doubled the statutory protection of her child’s earnings, and served without pay in doing so, is not a person this court needs to displace in favor of a paid stranger.”
Daveigh died at age 35 in June, her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, confirmed at the time, telling TMZ that she had battled meningitis and an infection in her blood that led to sepsis. Her cause of death was later confirmed to be acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) with other significant conditions including chronic polysubstance use, Us exclusively reported.

Forget ‘The Odyssey,’ Samantha Morton Stole the Show in This Near-Perfect Sci-Fi Thriller
One of the most exciting aspects of The Odyssey‘s massive success is the way it gained attention for Samantha Morton, who quietly gives the most powerful performance in Christopher Nolan‘s blockbuster. Morton, who plays Circe in the towering adaptation of Homer‘s epic poem, stole the show with her brief but impactful scene inside the island cabin, where her sorceress character turns Odysseus’s (Matt Damon) soldiers into pigs. The scene was an instant standout for audiences, as it is a brilliant showcase of practical effects and Nolan’s unsung horror chops. However, Morton lends this fantastical scene stunning authenticity and weight. It’s time for the Oscar-nominated English actor to receive her flowers, because she’s been stealing the show in summer blockbusters by legendary directors for over 20 years. Years before The Odyssey, Morton was the heart of Steven Spielberg‘s sublime, prescient sci-fi thriller, Minority Report, holding her own against Tom Cruise.
Samantha Morton is the Driving Force of ‘Minority Report’
Samantha Morton has continued working regularly in film and TV since her late ’90s and early 2000s career breakthrough, though she had largely been taken for granted in recent years until Nolan cast her in the seismic and powerful role of Circe. But 2002, shortly after her Oscar nomination for Sweet and Lowdown, was an especially packed year for Morton. It would see the release of Morvern Callar, Lynne Ramsay‘s bracing drama that showcased the actor at her most dynamic, as well as In America, which would net Morton her second Oscar nomination.
It was also the year she’d appear in Minority Report. Of course, there was no better mainstream spotlight than appearing in a Steven Spielberg summer blockbuster starring Tom Cruise. But luckily, this was no piece of escapist cinema; rather, it was a probing and often moody study of American justice and government in a post-September 11th world. Based on a novella by Philip K. Dick, Minority Report explores a future where the police can prevent crimes before they occur thanks to the clairvoyant abilities of three Precogs, all named after famous mystery novelists. Morton plays Agatha, believed to be the smartest Precog; she is the key figure in helping to exonerate Precrime chief John Anderton (Cruise) from a crime that, according to the majority report, he’s about to commit, though Agatha’s minority report says otherwise.
Morton carries the thematic and narrative weight of her character with exceptional gravitas in Minority Report, which remains one of Spielberg’s darkest directorial efforts to date. She stands her ground against Cruise, arguably at the peak of his stardom and creative boldness, as she embodies the prevailing dread of living with a power that the human mind can’t comprehend. Oftentimes shown shivering and rattled by her own prenatural gifts and grave responsibilities, Morton gives a finely tuned, sensitive performance that channels Spielberg’s restrained sentimentality.
She brings an ethereal, ghost-like presence to Minority Report, highlighting the foreboding sense of dystopian doom that lingers over the Precrime unit. Both strong-willed and deeply vulnerable to the point of combustion, Agatha represents the fleeting humanity in Spielberg’s futuristic vision of America driven by artificial intelligence, and Morton’s turn reflects the character’s cross between a gentle angel and a weaponized machine.
‘Minority Report’ Predicted the Future of Democracy and Criminal Justice
The idea of Precrime, like many other sci-fi hooks, doesn’t seem so far-fetched in 2026. Although filmed before 9/11 and the War on Terror, Minority Report reflected the new wave of government hyper-surveillance under the Patriot Act. Precrime, like real-life invasions of privacy, seems like an ideal, foolproof plan when you focus only on the main objective, but it never considers the long-term collateral damage. These consequences come back to haunt Precrime’s chief and staunchest advocate, John Anderton, who undergoes a Twilight Zone-esque experience where he must fight against the system he’s enabled. The film, in Spielbergian fashion, shapes itself as a fairy tale and bleak cautionary tale, first showcasing the eternal good that Precrime provides to the world, only to then deconstruct why it would signal the end of democracy.
The presence of advanced, AI-rendered technology that makes traditional media and tech obsolete in Minority Report is the film’s most pressing element today. A movie that people revisit to examine its sheer prescience, Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi mystery understands how new tech and procedures can destroy integral institutions in America. Despite lacking Precrime’s endless bandwidth and degree of intellect, the humans operating the system believe they can control it thoroughly, and the American public suffer as a result of their hubris. Yet, somehow, even though the film touches on hot-button subjects, Minority Report is a blast to watch—that’s the power of Spielberg for you.
Everything changes and evolves over the course of time, sometimes for the better, and sometimes for the worse. Just look at anime: it was once considered a children’s medium and is now one of the leading forms of entertainment, with shows such as One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen launching the medium into new heights across the globe. However, better animation and quality don’t always get worse with age; some anime series only get better, aging like fine wine.
Anime nowadays is all about flashy animation and badass action sequences, and while that is what viewers want to see and where the money is at, sometimes what is forgotten is what is needed. Whether they be older and irrelevant or simply overshadowed, plenty of anime have been forgotten, even if they are incredible. Ironically, these anime shows may even be better than ever, which is why this list will feature forgotten anime series that have aged like fine wine based on animation, story, art style, originality, popularity, themes, relevance, and overall quality.
‘Crest of the Stars’ (1999)
This list features a lot of forgotten anime, but to be forgotten, they once needed to be popular; out of all the anime highlighted, Crest of the Stars was the least popular. The Abh Empire is a powerful and dangerous race of humanoid aliens that have already taken over hundreds of planets, and as they set their sights on Earth, the world forms an alliance to take down these extraterrestrial threats.
A lot of space operas simply showcase a fleet of spaceships shooting at each other, especially in modern anime. But the reason why Crest of the Stars aged well is because it has a well-written plot and plenty of detail and fascinating concepts woven into the story. From the tense battles that spawn from tactical warfare and ingenious battle plans to the linguistic detail and language barriers faced in the show, Crest of the Stars is a riveting anime that most fans have never heard of.
‘xxxHOLiC’ (2006–2011)
A lot can happen in 20 years. For example, an anime can come out, be very popular, develop a cult following, end, and then stay forgotten for the years following. That is exactly what happened with xxxHOLiC, which follows a character with a strange connection to the supernatural. One day, a mysterious shop catches his attention, and when he becomes an assistant to an even more mysterious woman who helps those in supernatural trouble, his life gets even crazier.
What was once one of the leading supernatural anime is nothing more than a legacy, but that shouldn’t discount xxxHOLiC and everything it represents. The 2000s humor isn’t for everyone, but it is a time capsule that holds up better against a lot of modern comedic anime. It isn’t the best anime series of all time, but the profound and tragic plots in each episode hold a certain weight. Plus, this anime doesn’t take itself too seriously, allowing itself to be silly, something new anime needs to learn.
‘Dennou Coil’ (2007)
Cyberpunk is a popular anime genre, but it isn’t just dark and gloomy stories; they can also be quirky and unique, as is the case with Dennou Coil. Set in a world that is embracing augmented reality, a group of children notices a handful of strange disappearances. They form a detective agency and head out into the town during their spare time to investigate the corruption of the virtual world and how it is affecting the real world.
Before AI and AR became mainstream, Dennou Coil used the concept to portray a charming and whimsical, yet dystopian nightmare. Not only did it predict the way people would interact with AR technology, but it also presented a list of dangers that come with it. Dennou Coil touches on the blurring lines between reality and digital fantasy, focusing on how real this digital space can feel, and the flaws that come with it.
‘Kaiba’ (2008)
Anime doesn’t have to be old to be forgotten. Some modern classics from two years ago are already irrelevant, but the newest anime featured, Kaiba, is from 2008. Set in a sci-fi world where people can copy their consciousness and transplant it into new bodies to live forever, the titular character is one such body without any memories. This is the story of him traveling around the galaxy in order to learn the history of this body and who he really is.
Avant-garde anime aren’t made nowadays simply because they aren’t popular, but they age better than most because of their distinct experimental style that can captivate viewers. Not only that, but Kaiba features such a fun retro art style that it visually holds up compared to new shows. As one of the best avant-garde anime series, Kaiba takes risks that paid off perfectly, making it a top-shelf classic.
‘Ashita no Joe’ (1970–1981)
A lot of old anime don’t age well, whether it is their animation, outdated style, themes, or simply not resonating with modern viewers. However, despite being the oldest show on this list, Ashita no Joe hasn’t gone out of style. Joe is a street punk, but when a retired boxer sees promise in him, he tries to get him into boxing. Struggle after struggle, the two finally get a match, thus starting their rocky road to becoming champions, right after Joe gets out of prison.
Not everything about Ashita no Joe aged perfectly, especially the animation since it is so old, but the art style and presentation, while dated, have a certain classic feeling that everyone can appreciate. This anime didn’t just pioneer the sports genre; it features a story that still hasn’t been replicated because it is so unique. From flawless character development to its tragic narrative, Ashita no Joe is a true classic that, while forgotten due to its age, is still one of the most intriguing sports dramas out there.
‘Paranoia Agent’ (2004)
Satoshi Kon is arguably the best anime film director of all time, but he also delivered one of the best avant-garde anime series with Paranoia Agent. When an overworked toy designer is brutally attacked, she falls into a reclusive state, paranoid that whoever attacked her might strike again. However, as more attacks occur, the entire world gets paranoid that they could be next.
Compared to most anime on this list, Paranoia Agent is less forgotten than most, but it certainly isn’t mainstream or getting the love it deserves. From the art to the animation and narrative, everything in this anime is flawless, not to mention the relevance. Representing a variety of themes, including toxic work culture and how it forces people to escape reality, idolizing cute mascots and numbing ourselves to reality, and developing main character syndrome, all of these are more present than ever in the modern age. Paranoia Agent is scarily accurate in its themes, and that is why it is one of the best thriller anime series ever.
‘Legend of the Galactic Heroes’ (1988–1997)
This list features many older anime, and while Ashita no Joe is the oldest, another true classic is Legend of the Galactic Heroes, a timeless sci-fi opera. After a hundred-year ceasefire is ended by two new young commanders, the galactic war has started again. Each commander has an opposing philosophy that they believe to be fact, but that fact is only proven by whoever wins, thrusting the galaxy into a long war of pain, tragedy, and hope for the future.
It may be old, but some people still remember the name and the legacy attached to it; that doesn’t mean it isn’t forgotten by the general audience. Legend of the Galactic Heroes doesn’t get the recognition it deserves despite having one of the most riveting plots that delves into politics and philosophy. Animation aside, everything about this anime is remarkable, and the story only gets better and more relevant as the years pass. Good storytelling never ages, but Legend of the Galactic Hero only gets better the older it gets.
‘Serial Experiments Lain’ (1998)
Some anime on this list aged well because the style and animation hold up, but other series prove timeless because their stories grow ever more relevant, such as Serial Experiments Lain. The titular character receives an email from her dead classmate inviting her into the dark web, and when she logs on, Lain discovers a whole new world of dark truths as she establishes herself as the god of the online domain.
This experimental anime came out just as technology and the World Wide Web were really taking off, and using its thematically appropriate story, it now stands as a cautionary tale that even predicted many modern events. Serial Experiments Lain can be trippy, dark, obscure, and hard to process, but it is because of that avant-garde style that it has become such a titillating experience. Outside its cultural legacy and technological accuracy, Serial Experiments Lain is simply an entertaining show, which made it an avant-garde anime blueprint that changed the way fans view the medium.
