Harry Bosch is still around, even if so many people have tried to bury him that he might as well have a permanent place at the graveyard. But everyone wants to see the original blend. Titus Welliver has continued to make appearances across the expanding franchise, including the Maggie Q-led Ballard, while MGM+ has been hard at work on a prequel series that focuses on Bosch’s early days as a beat cop in Los Angeles, during the 1990s. Even so, neither project quite replaces watching Welliver hunting down baddies.

Speaking to ScreenRant during the Italian Global Series festival, Welliver confirmed that he had no concrete news to share about another solo project, but stressed that “the intent is there” to bring his version of Bosch back as the lead. The preference for those involved is a movie, while Welliver also pointed to the success of Jack Ryan: Ghost War, Prime Video’s feature-length epilogue of the John Krasinski series, as proof that a major streaming show can successfully make the same jump.

Titus Welliver Wants a Standalone ‘Bosch’ Movie

“I think that would be what we would ultimately want to do, would be a standalone Bosch film,” Welliver said. “Not to get closure, because to quote Harry Bosch, ‘Closure is a myth,’ but people want more. They want Bosch, they want to see him again, and I think that Ballard doesn’t give them enough sustenance. They want to see the original thing. They want the integrity of what birthed that universe of those other shows. That’s the tried and true original product.”

Welliver was the heart and soul of Bosch for seven seasons, then returned for three more in Bosch: Legacy. Although the sequel series was successful, Prime Video ended it after Season 3, despite all creatives involved planning the fourth season. The actor has since returned in Ballard and is expected to appear in three episodes of Season 2.

At the same time, MGM+ has been filiming Bosch: Start of Watch, a prequel starring Cameron Monaghan (Gotham) as the detective during his first year with the LAPD as a 26-year-old. Now, while Ballard and Start of Watch are keeping Harry front and center, Welliver believes that’ll never be enough because the fans want to see the Harry Bosch they know, front and center. And with countless Bosch stories from Michael Connelly‘s novels still untouched by any form of adaptation, there’s plenty of room to give Harry the farewell he deserves.

A standalone Bosch movie has not yet been officially announced.

Getting down to business! Halle Berry, Alix Earle, Cardi B, and more stars stepped out for Create & Cultivate, the world’s largest festival for women in business, in Los Angeles, California, on Sept. 19 and 20.

The A-listers mixed business with pleasure while spotlighting their respective brands, with Berry representing Joylux, Earle showing off Reale Actives, and Cardi celebrating Grow Good.

Create & Cultivate founder Jaclyn Johnson and CEO Marina Middleton were also on hand for the two-day affair, which brought together over 4,000 people for conversations spanning business, media, entertainment, technology, fashion, beauty, and sports.

Attendees bounced between exclusive panels, keynote conversations and workshops with founders, creators, executives, and innovators, while checking out immersive activations and stocking up on goodies from brand partners along the way.

And after a full day of talking shop on everything from entrepreneurship and investing to wellness and career growth, Cardi turned the conference into a concert, taking the stage to perform hits including “I Like It,” “Up,” “Please Me,” and more.

“This is a very special event over here because we are supporting women out here, owning their business, running their business. Shout to my ladies they get money, and making money, and making a difference. Thank you for inspiring me, and I hope I can inspire you,” Cardi said onstage.

RELATED CONTENT:

Spider-Man often finds his way into the hearts of his fellow crime-fighters through his positive demeanor, courage, and sense of humor, no matter how different the other heroes may be. He’s formed a bond with the Avengers and made plenty of street-level allies in the comics, linking up with Matt Murdock and Luke Cage, in particular, on plenty of occasions. As recently seen in Tom Holland‘s return to the MCU, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he can even break through the hardened exterior of Marvel’s more ruthless anti-heroes, like the Punisher. He hasn’t just counted Frank Castle among his allies, but also formed a surprisingly tight bond with Wolverine, earning the mutant’s utmost trust and respect in many of the stories they’ve shared over the years.

Yet, they aren’t always on the exact same side. As a hero who doesn’t kill and certainly sees no value in it, Peter naturally butts heads at times with the much less merciful Frank and Logan, who have each left their fair share of bodies in their wake. The latest issue of Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day now brings the three together, with Wolverine reaching an understanding and choosing to lend the Punisher a hand in evading the web-head. So far, Dan Slott and Marcus To‘s series has revolved around Spidey trying to retrieve the Lexicon, a ledger from the Kingpin documenting the New York criminal underground, after losing the book to Mr. Negative and a mind-controlled Frank. With Frank now free, though, he wants that book for his own war on crime and needs some extra help to buy him time.

Marvel Comics has now released an official preview of Issue #5 picks up right where the previous installment left off — with the Punisher grabbing the Lexicon after Spider-Man helped him get back to his senses. Before Donnie Yu, one of Negative’s Inner Demons, can grab the book from him, Frank blasts him and bolts, leaving Peter to deal with the damage. Once he’s free to give chase, none of Spidey’s allies are available for backup, as Luke, Spider-Woman, and Iron Fist are busy rounding up the other villains at Negative’s coronation as Kingpin. It looks for a moment like his prayers are answered when Wolverine appears from the shadows in front of Frank. However, despite knowing the damage he could do, Logan just lets the Punisher through, on the condition that they never speak of their meeting. Wolverine then denies ever seeing Frank when Spidey shows up, giving the anti-hero a chance to put that book to good use mowing down “all the right people.”

‘Spectacular Spider-Man’ Unleashes the Punisher to Wrap Up ‘Brand New Day’

Wolverine seems perfectly content letting Frank wreak havoc on the criminals of New York as someone who has no moral qualms with what is about to happen. Spider-Man, however, is fully aware of how much of a problem leaving the Punisher alone in the city with the Lexicon is. Not only will he be raining death and destruction upon those listed in the book, but Mister Negative doesn’t appear to be fully out of the fight yet, and any misstep could lead to the book landing in even more dangerous hands yet again. The stage is set for an explosive ending that will pit Spidey against his anti-heroic pal and close Slott and To’s reimagining of their iconic Brand New Day storyline.

Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day #5 goes on sale on September 23. Check out the preview in the gallery above.

When Jade Vow started making adult content around seven years ago, telling someone what she did could still provoke genuine shock. Sometimes people did not know what OF was. Others simply could not believe she was on it.

5

Today, she jokes, the reaction is closer to a much more casual response. “Oh yeah, my aunt does OF,” Vow told The Blast, describing how dramatically attitudes toward the platform have changed.

For Vow, who has watched the adult creator industry transform since before the pandemic, that change has been a double-edged sword. Adult content has become more visible and less unusual, but she believes the rapid growth of creators, management agencies, and increasingly polished online personas has stripped away some of what made the space interesting in the first place. “I liked it being this kind of underground, taboo thing,” Vow told The Blast.

Her response has been to resist becoming more manufactured herself. After seven years, the Jade Vow brand remains unusually difficult to separate from the person behind it. Her relationship with long-term partner Josh, their move from England to Cyprus, her humor, insecurities, and deliberately ordinary life all feed into what her audience sees. “Our entire online persona, I mean, it’s not even a persona, it’s just us,” Vow told The Blast.

Jade Vow Has Watched OF Become An Industry

5

Vow does not appear particularly worried about competition. She believes creators with a distinct identity can survive an increasingly crowded market because audiences have more to connect with than the content itself. “If you’ve got your own brand, your own niche and your own following, new people joining don’t really affect you,” Vow told The Blast.

What concerns her more is the rise of management agencies that can take over creators’ accounts, including conversations with subscribers. Vow told The Blast that some subscribers are now surprised when they discover she is actually the person responding to them. Others have shared stories with her about building a connection with creators before noticing the tone of their messages suddenly change after an agency became involved.

For Vow, that creates a trust problem in a business increasingly built around access and personality. “There’s a million men out there with willies, and there’s loads of boobies out there,” Vow told The Blast. “But there isn’t much personality, like real personality.”

Her own approach includes the parts of life that do not necessarily look like adult entertainment at all. Subscribers get the good, bad, funny, awkward, and embarrassing moments. She also writes handwritten diary entries about what has been happening in her life.

The Jade Vow Brand Is Really Jade And Josh

5

That lack of separation becomes clearest when Vow talks about Josh. The pair have built their adult careers together, and despite Jade being the more visible name, neither sees the business as belonging to her alone. “The Jade Vow brand is us,” the couple told The Blast.

Their unconventional relationship has already generated headlines, particularly around sex with other people. Previous coverage has focused on Vow’s experiences with other men and the couple’s non-monogamous dynamic. What is more revealing in conversation is that they do not present themselves as having solved jealousy.

Physical intimacy can sometimes be easier to process than emotional intimacy. Josh told The Blast that another man cooking Vow an incredible meal or making her laugh could bother him more than sex. Vow, meanwhile, admitted her own feelings about seeing Josh with other women are still evolving. “I’m still learning,” Vow told The Blast.

It is another area where Vow seems more comfortable acknowledging contradiction than constructing a cleaner public story.

From Somerset To Cyprus Without Visiting First

5

That instinct has shaped their life away from work too. After deciding they wanted to leave England, Vow and Josh researched somewhere with warmer weather, beaches and a realistic route to residency. They landed on Cyprus. There was one significant detail: neither had ever been there.

They signed a rental contract for a villa anyway, packed their belongings and moved. They have now been in Cyprus for almost three years, a relocation that has since become part of Vow’s public story. Despite the assumptions that come with her work, she describes their everyday life as remarkably quiet.

“People always expect, you know, when you say, ‘I do porn,’ they’re like, ‘My God, you must have a crazy life,’” Vow told The Blast. “And it’s like maybe a few days a year, yeah. But other than that, I’m just curled up with a book.”

Jade Vow Isn’t Interested In Creating A Fake Persona

5

Even a conversation about their favorite sex club in Amsterdam quickly became a review of its satay chicken. “This is what we mean,” Vow joked to The Blast. “Life revolves around food. Sex on the side.”

As the creator industry around her becomes bigger, more mainstream, and more professionalized, Vow’s bet is increasingly distinctive. She is not trying to invent a more convincing Jade Vow. She is betting that the person already there is the part audiences cannot get anywhere else.

Dakota Johnson is apparently smitten with her “Verity” costar, Anne Hathaway, after joking in a recent sit-down that she’d kiss her “for the rest of my life.” Both actresses star in the upcoming sexy thriller alongside Josh Hartnett, who revealed that despite the dark, sultry storyline, they had a “fun working relationship” on set.

Johnson also opened up about her desire to settle down and start a family after an acting career that has kept her “gone for 20 years.”

Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway have shown off the playful camaraderie that existed between them on the set of “Verity.”

As part of the press tour for the highly anticipated psychological thriller, both actresses sat for an interview with ExtraTV alongside costar Josh Hartnett. Given that the movie features plenty of kissing scenes among the trio, the interviewer put them on the spot by asking who the best kisser was.

In a candid response, Hathaway said they all kissed each other, then added, “It’s a miracle nobody got sick.” However, Johnson went all in and unabashedly said she’d kiss Hathaway for the rest of her life if possible.

‘Verity’ Puts Dakota Johnson Inside A Dangerous Crawford Family Mystery

In the feature film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s runaway bestseller “Verity,” Johnson plays Lowen Ashleigh, a struggling writer hired by Jeremy Crawford, played by Hartnett.

Her job is to finish the remaining books in a hit series after its superstar author, Verity Crawford, played by Hathaway, is incapacitated in a mysterious accident.

As she uncovers unsettling autobiographical notes inside the Crawford estate, she is pulled into a dark web of obsession, deceit, and dangerous attraction.

“Upon arrival at the lavish Crawford estate, Lowen slowly learns that things are not exactly as they seem with the discovery of a secret, unfinished manuscript that may divulge chilling admissions about the family’s past,” the movie’s logline, obtained by Variety, reads. “As Lowen ingratiates herself with Jeremy and his young son Crew, she must discern if Verity’s writings are merely lurid works of fiction or an ominous warning by a deranged psychopath.”

Josh Hartnett Says ‘Verity’ Co-stars Couldn’t Stop Goofing Around

While “Verity” promises intense on-screen tension, Hartnett revealed that the vibe behind the scenes was entirely affectionate and friendly.

“We had a fun working relationship the whole time on set,” he said. “For a film that is this intense and twisted and dark, it was just like, we just laughed. We had a really fun time.”

“So as much as there was like the love and the tension and the lustiness in the movie, on the outside, we were just goofing around,” the “Fight or Flight” actor added.

Hathaway also teased the “Trap” actor over his sexual appeal, saying, “You have every woman in the world lusting after you. I’m going to say nice things about you if you don’t quit it.” “Verity” hits theaters nationwide on October 2.

Dakota Johnson And MGK Reportedly ‘Hit It Off’ On First Date

In recent weeks, Johnson has been the subject of intense speculation surrounding her rumored relationship with rapper Machine Gun Kelly after the pair reportedly met at Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce.

The pair were spotted roughly a week ago exiting a black SUV as they made their way into Swift’s Tribeca apartment, according to TMZ.

The apartment was reportedly empty, as the pop star was out of town, giving them enough privacy to enjoy each other’s company. “They hit it off and wanted some privacy,” a source told Us Weekly. “So, Dakota contacted Taylor, and Taylor said she wasn’t home, so they could use her place.”

The insider added, “Apparently, Taylor lets her close friends use her place when she’s away.”

Johnson Says She Wants To Settle Down And Start A Family

3

The “Fifty Shades of Grey” actress has opened up about her desire to start a family after years of a demanding acting career kept her away for long stretches.

She made the revelation in a recent interview with Vogue, saying that she looks forward to settling down while admitting that it can sometimes be difficult to be around friends who have gotten married or had children.

“I really do. I do, but for whatever reason, that’s the plan of the universe,” she said about starting a family. “So, I would love that. I hope that that happens for me. I’ve always felt, especially over the last few years, that a soul wants to come through. And I hope that I’m lucky enough to be able to do that.”

“I’ve worked back-to-back for so long that now I have this deep calling to shift my perspective a bit and maybe have a bit more of a real life,” Johnson added. “I’ve been gone for, like, 20 years. The people in my life are so used to me leaving for months at a time.”

Ed Sheeran’s attempt to steady his troubled Loop Tour has only fueled a new wave of debate. After days of backlash tied to the removal of opening act Macklemore and the subsequent departure of several supporting performers, the British singer addressed the controversy directly from the stage in Philadelphia. 

Instead of calming tensions, however, his remarks sparked fresh criticism, with some supporters accusing him of giving in to pressure while others praised him for confronting a crisis that had begun overshadowing the music.

3

Before critics dissected his remarks and social media turned his speech into a fresh battleground, Ed Sheeran revealed why he chose to keep moving forward with the tour.

Standing before thousands of fans in Philadelphia, the “Shape of You” singer admitted that calls to cancel had weighed heavily on him. 

The departures of several tour collaborators and the backlash surrounding the situation left him questioning whether continuing was the right decision.

Then he looked at the numbers. “In the back of my mind, I saw the ticket sales and I didn’t see the cancellations,” he told the crowd, per the Daily Mail.

The realization became a turning point. “Everyone’s telling me to cancel and I’m feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me — and I look at the end of the week, and I see 50,000 people who haven’t abandoned me,” Sheeran revealed.

Sheeran’s Attempt To Address The Crisis Sparked New Backlash

Ironically, the speech intended to calm tensions ended up creating another controversy of its own.

After acknowledging mistakes in how he handled the situation and commenting on the Israel-Gaza conflict, Ed Sheeran faced criticism from supporters who believed he should never have addressed the matter publicly.

Among the most prominent voices was Piers Morgan, who argued that the 35-year-old had been pressured into making a statement.

“I agree with Ed Sheeran’s overview of the Israel/Hamas war (Oct 7 terrible, Israel response disproportionate) but I wish he hadn’t bowed to the mob and felt forced to say it publicly, especially reading it off an autocue like some bullied puppet. He needs better advisors,” Morgan stated.

The criticism also quickly spread online. One supporter wrote, “His PR people need to be fired. No reason for him to have to speak to that outside of a very small mob of loudmouths.”

Another was even harsher, sharing, “This dude simply wants to play and perform and has done so for years. He’s a bigger idiot than he was last week. What a disgrace to bow to the mob.”

Others argued that no matter what Sheeran said, criticism was inevitable. One commenter observed, “To be fair, he was never going to ‘win’ this regardless.”

Ed Sheeran’s Tour Lost Multiple Performers In Rapid Succession

While debate over the Philadelphia speech dominated headlines, turmoil around the tour began days earlier.

As The Blast reported, the controversy traces back to Macklemore’s appearances at Sheeran’s New Jersey shows on September 4 and 5. 

During the performances, the rapper shouted “Free Palestine” while introducing his protest song “Hind’s Hall,” which criticizes Israel’s military actions in Gaza.

After Macklemore was removed from future tour dates, the fallout expanded well beyond a single artist. Finneas, Lukas Graham, Aaron Rowe, and members of Sheeran’s backing band, Beoga, announced they would leave the tour in solidarity with Macklemore and Palestine.

Sheeran Insists Macklemore’s Exit Was Not His Call

Days after the controversy exploded, Ed Sheeran addressed that issue directly, pushing back against the growing perception that he had personally removed the rapper from the lineup. 

In a lengthy statement on Instagram, he stressed that the decision came from promoters and stadium operators, not from him.  “It’s important that I set out some facts,” Sheeran began, then explained how Macklemore joined the tour in the first place.

According to him, “Macklemore asked to join my tour last year and I agreed, because I respect him as an artist.” 

Sheeran went on to explain why he generally avoided political discussions through his concerts, arguing that many people attended his shows expecting music rather than political debate.

“My audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds. Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum.” 

At the same time, he made clear that he respected Macklemore’s right to express his beliefs. “I respect Macklemore’s strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes,” he stated. 

Ed Sheeran Joins Multi-Million-Dollar Gaza Aid Effort

As questions continued to swirl around Macklemore’s removal from the Loop Tour, the rapper tried to redirect attention away from the controversy and toward the humanitarian crisis that motivated his actions in the first place.

Two days after being dropped from the tour, Macklemore announced that he would donate every dollar he earned from his time on the road with Sheeran to the Palestinian people.

“I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people,” he revealed.

Macklemore didn’t stop there. He publicly challenged Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of Gillette Stadium, to match the donation. The challenge quickly produced an unexpected development.

According to Kraft, Sheeran personally contacted him before the public challenge gained momentum and urged him to contribute to humanitarian aid.

“Earlier today, before Macklemore challenged me to match his donation, Ed called me and asked me to commit $2 million to match his donation to aid in the region to fight this humanitarian crisis,” Kraft said per The Blast.

Kraft added that Sheeran intended to keep the effort going beyond a single donation. He noted, “Ed now plans to reach out to other venue owners and our goal is to continue to work together to build bridges.”

Giada De Laurentiis may be focused on mastering her routines on “Dancing with the Stars,” but her longtime boyfriend, Shane Farley, is reportedly creating a very different kind of tension behind the scenes. Sources claim the Emmy-winning television producer has become heavily involved in De Laurentiis’ experience on the ABC competition, allegedly approaching the set as though he were one of the show’s decision-makers.

While insiders acknowledged that Farley’s behavior comes from his desire to protect and support De Laurentiis, they claimed his intense involvement has made it more difficult for members of the production team to do their jobs.

5

According to the Daily Mail, Farley has reportedly been attempting to influence decisions involving De Laurentiis’ participation in the show. “Shane is a total control freak,” one source told the publication. “He thinks he knows television better than everyone else in the room… Everything has to go through Shane.”

Farley has spent decades working behind the camera and is a four-time Emmy Award-winning television producer. His credits include programs such as “The Rachael Ray Show,” “The Voice” and “The Steve Harvey Show.” However, the sources stressed that Farley does not hold an official production role on “Dancing with the Stars.”

The alleged tension reportedly stems from him applying his experience as a producer and showrunner to decisions surrounding De Laurentiis’ time in the ballroom.

The Producer Reportedly Handles Every Aspect Of Giada De Laurentiis’ Career

5

Farley is said to have become much more involved in De Laurentiis’ career since the couple started dating in 2015. Insiders claimed the distinction between his personal and professional roles in her life has nearly disappeared.

“He’s her boyfriend, manager, agent, bodyguard and publicist all rolled into one,” a source said. “He behaves like Giada is Taylor Swift with a frying pan. Everything is treated like an enormous event requiring layers of protection and control.”

Another insider claimed he stepped back from his own producing career to prioritize the celebrity chef. “Shane gave up a lucrative producing career and completely rearranged his life for Giada,” the source alleged. “This is personal for him. Her success is his success, which means he gets involved in absolutely everything.”

Farley’s reported motivation may be personal, but sources said his approach has still become a problem for those working on the dancing competition. “Nobody is questioning how much he loves her,” one insider explained. “The problem is Shane still thinks like an executive producer… Except he’s not the executive producer of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”

Neither Farley nor De Laurentiis has publicly responded to the backstage allegations.

Giada De Laurentiis And Shane Farley Met Through Television

5

De Laurentiis first met Farley in 2013 when he was hired to help develop a daytime talk show that would have involved her and fellow Food Network personality Bobby Flay. The proposed program never materialized, but De Laurentiis and Farley remained friendly. At the time, De Laurentiis was married to fashion designer Todd Thompson. The former couple, who share their daughter Jade, finalized their divorce in 2014 after more than a decade of marriage.

Farley was previously married to personal trainer Jennifer Giamo. Their marriage ended in 2015. De Laurentiis and Farley reconnected after their respective marriages ended and began dating in 2015.

“After I divorced, I spent about a year and a half alone, not dating, just figuring things out,” De Laurentiis told PEOPLE in 2018. “I had been with Jade’s dad for 25 years. I didn’t know what it meant not to be married. Once I got settled, Shane and I reconnected, and I felt like a kid again.”

Farley remembered their relationship developing gradually. “We would bump into each other, we would grab a drink… We were just friends and then eventually we started dating,” he said.

Shane Farley Has Become Part Of De Laurentiis’ Family And Career

5

He also praised De Laurentiis’ personality during the interview. “Giada is one of the most positive people I have ever met,” Farley shared. “She’s warm and absolutely beautiful – what you see on the outside is there on the inside as well.”

Farley has also developed a close relationship with De Laurentiis’ daughter and previously helped the chef produce “Giada at Home 2.0” during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Celebrity Chef Suffered A Broken Toe Before Her Debut

5

Farley attended the “Dancing with the Stars” premiere alongside De Laurentiis’ daughter and other loved ones. De Laurentiis is partnered with professional dancer Alan Bersten for Season 35. Shortly before making her ballroom debut, the Food Network alum revealed that she had broken her toe during rehearsals. The injury did not prevent De Laurentiis from competing.

She and Bersten performed a tango and received a score of 16 out of 30 from the judges. Although the score left the pair near the lower portion of the leaderboard, they avoided elimination and advanced in the competition.

De Laurentiis became emotional after the performance while discussing how her daughter encouraged her to leave her comfort zone. Bersten also appeared emotional as they reflected on the significance of the routine.

Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas topped the women’s leaderboard with a score of 21 out of 30 for their foxtrot. Other competitors this season include Julia Stiles, Jenna Dewan, Tatyana Ali, Ciara Miller and Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn.
