Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird is once again at the center of internet chatter.

The reality TV personality, best known as Honey Boo Boo’s older sister, recently revealed a surprising career move that immediately ignited debate across social media.

While some fans applauded the decision, others criticized it, turning the announcement into a heated conversation about fame, money and personal choices.

Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird Launches New Online Venture

Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird confirmed she has joined OnlyFans, marking a major shift from the family-friendly reality television environment that first made her a recognizable face.

Speaking with TMZ, Efird revealed that the decision came after seeing others successfully monetize their content on the subscription platform.

In an Instagram announcement, she described the site as “the blue spicy app,” explaining that the move felt like a practical opportunity.

The account currently charges about $23 per month and will feature solo material for now.

However, Efird suggested that the content may evolve in the future as she becomes more comfortable with the platform and its audience.

Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Efird Says Boyfriend Supports Decision

Efird also made it clear that her personal life played a role in the decision.

According to the reality TV star, her boyfriend Darrin Kitchens has been supportive since she began considering the idea.

The couple has reportedly been together since 2024.

Efird also suggested she is not overly concerned about how the public reacts to her new venture, noting that audiences today are already used to seeing influencers and celebrities share revealing or exclusive content online.

For her, the decision appears to be another step in a career that has evolved significantly since her early days on television.

Pumpkin’s Television Fame Started Young

Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird first entered the public eye during the early 2010s reality TV boom.

She appeared alongside her younger sister, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, on TLC’s “Toddlers & Tiaras,” a series that helped introduce viewers to the colorful Georgia family.

Thompson’s energetic personality quickly turned her into a breakout star, which led to the spinoff series “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”

The show attracted millions of viewers and turned the family into pop culture figures.

Over the years, Efird remained a visible part of the family’s reality TV journey while also taking on significant responsibilities behind the scenes.

In 2019, she became the legal guardian of Thompson during a difficult time when their mother, Mama June Shannon, was dealing with addiction struggles.

Efird has also continued appearing in later programs, including “Mama June: Family Crisis.”

Outside television, she launched a retail business called The Sisters Closet with her siblings and is raising four children of her own.

Fans React To Lauryn Pumpkin Efird’s Announcement

Following the OnlyFans announcement, the internet quickly filled with strong opinions from fans.

Some commenters expressed disappointment. One critic wrote, “Very sad- had it all.”

Others pushed back against that criticism. A supporter responded directly to the negative remark, writing, “girl she’s on reality tv she doesn’t have it all lmao they don’t pay those people sh-t.”

Another person joined the conversation with a longer explanation about the financial reality of reality television.

“You realize that they don’t make big bank right? Reality TV stars on networks like TLC can earn between $10,000 and $25,000 per season depending on their role and the show’s success. And, when they were minors, their mother had control over their earnings. Some of it was put away in a Koogan account but, as past seasons have shown, she blew a majority of it on a drug addiction.”

The original critic remained unconvinced, replying, “I realize but she had a good husband and was on the right path- unfortunately, her broken childhood and the way she was raised has caught up with her and here she is. It’s sad to see.”

As the discussion grew, more users jumped into the conversation.

One person questioned the earlier criticism, writing, “How you know she had a good husband? Did you live with them?”

Another commenter added their own perspective on Efird’s past relationship drama.

They wrote, “Exactly must’ve lived with them because he is the one that although she stepped out too, he had a whole another baby, now that’s on another level. Lol. Good husband hugh?? Okay lol.”

Despite the disagreements, some fans simply encouraged Efird to live her life on her own terms.

“You do you boo dont let anyone tell you how to live your life,” one supporter wrote.

Others, however, remained critical. One person commented, “You can feel empowered and beautiful but to lower yourself and standards for this is crazy! Lost so much respect for you.”

The mixed reaction highlights just how polarizing the announcement has become. While some viewers see the move as a practical business decision, others believe it represents a surprising turn for someone who grew up on family-focused reality television.

For Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, though, the conversation is simply the latest chapter in a public life that has been unfolding for more than a decade.

Nicole Kidman may be pursuing a new life away from her now-ex-husband, Keith Urban, but that doesn’t include her location, as the movie star revealed she won’t be leaving Nashville anytime soon.

The “Babygirl” actress seemingly showed the country singer what he’s been missing out on, as she posed in her underwear for an interview in which she explained that she’s focusing on their two daughters.

Following their divorce, Nicole Kidman has been having the time of her life traveling with her kids, amid what appears to be a packed 2026 calendar.

Nicole Kidman Reveals Why She Won’t Be Leaving Nashville

Nicole Kidman confirmed she has no intention of leaving Nashville, despite her divorce.

The “Practical Magic” actress moved to the country music capital almost two decades ago when she bought a mansion shortly after her marriage to Urban.

In light of her split from the singer, some expected that she would consider starting afresh somewhere else, but Kidman shared that she won’t be doing that, as Nashville has been “home” to her and her kids for a long time.

“We have our life here,” Kidman said in a recent interview with Variety. “I’m part of the city and community for 20 years. It’s my home.”

Kidman filed for divorce from Urban in September last year after being married for 19 years, during which they welcomed two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.

At the time, reports emerged suggesting she might be moving to Europe and had applied for residency in Portugal.

She was understood to have been eyeing luxurious properties in the Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club in a region south of Lisbon, which is often referred to as the “Hamptons of Portugal.”

The Actress Confirms She’s ‘Doing All Right’ As She Sizzles In New Photo Shoot

Kidman accompanied her interview with a lingerie photo shoot that showed off her toned legs and midriff.

In one look, she posed in an empty bathtub wearing sheer black leggings paired with a white button-up shirt and black heels.

In another, her black lace underwear can be clearly seen as she posed standing close to a bed frame.

When asked if she was “doing all right” since the divorce, she replied in the affirmative, saying, “I am, because I’m always going to be moving toward what’s good.”

The actress continued, “[Last year] I was quiet. I had other things going on. I was in my shell. Now I’m in a place of saying, ‘2026. Here we go.’”

Fans Praise Nicole Kidman’s Steamy New Snaps

Kidman’s latest shoot was met with praise from fans, who lauded the actress’s stunning figure and youthful look.

A person wrote, “She has never looked better. Good for her,” while another said, “I can’t believe Nicole is going to be 60 next year, she still looks good!!!!!!”

A third individual commented, “Oh, Nicole [is] still gorgeous [at] almost 60. Damn, she still has it absolutely stunning!”

One more person noted, “She is a queen. Her beauty has truly evolved over the years.”

The Oscar Winner Is Focused On Her Family

Elsewhere in her interview with Variety, the Oscar-winning actress explained that she’s now focused on her family, particularly the two daughters she shares with Urban.

“What I’m grateful for is my family, and keeping them as is, and moving forward. That’s that,” she said. “I’m staying in a place of ‘We are a family,’ and that’s what we’ll continue to be. My beautiful girls, my darlings, who are suddenly women.”

She then touched on her background and how it has kept her grounded in raising her daughters.

“I was raised to be able to mix in any circles, to really operate where everyone is equal and sit in all walks of life. I came from very socially conscious parents. We would always have people staying at our house. There was just a lot of rigorous conversation and exposure to many, many things,” she shared.

“We’re all very different, but we’re deeply connected and close. My daughter is in Paris right now working for Dior,” Kidman added of her connection with her girls.

Nicole Kidman Gushes About Upcoming Project With Sandra Bullock

“The Big Little Lies” star is looking ahead to a busy 2026 with a string of projects in the pipeline, including the “Practical Magic” sequel, which also features Sandra Bullock, and the Prime Video series “Scarpetta.”

Commenting on her decision to work on “Practical Magic 2,” Kidman said she did it so she could work with Bullock, as she has “so much protection and love” for her.

“I love Sandy. I love her. And we’re so different. I’m like [makes a wild noise with her mouth], and she’s so measured and together. We’re like sisters. I have so much protection and love for her. We also have incredible chemistry,” she said.

“We produce differently. She’s incredibly hands-on, and I love delegating. We have different skill sets that become complementary. It’s amazing that we still know each other. Joey King and the new cast are amazing, and Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are coming back,” Kidman added.

Roommates, sometimes the biggest headlines come when you least expect them. That’s exactly what’s happening with Dwight Howard right now. The former NBA superstar recently popped out with a message that quickly got fans talking. But while Dwight was making a major announcement about his career, his name has also been tied to some serious personal drama involving his wife, Amy Luciani. And let’s just say…the details coming out from both sides have definitely raised a few eyebrows.

Dwight Officially Retires From Basketball

Although Dwight Howard hasn’t played an NBA game since 2022, he never actually announced his retirement—until now. He woke up on March 12 and shared a lengthy message on X revealing he’s officially stepping away from the game after 20 years.

In the emotional post, Dwight said he’s “taking off the cape” and retiring from basketball to focus on family and giving back. While he acknowledged people might’ve thought he had already retired, he made it clear that wasn’t the case. Dwight shared that the game essentially “retired” him despite believing he still had more left to give. He also hinted at a documentary dropping later this year where he says he plans to tell the “truth about EVERYTHING.“

Woke up today on the 12th of this month and I figured it’s time to move on from Superman! Im no super human… I cry ! I struggle! I feel like everyone else. Through the lies, the media and the hate I still show love and Smile Through The Storm.

Dwight Reportedly Calls 911 On Amy

But while Dwight was making headlines for his retirement, his personal life also surfaced in the spotlight. According to newly surfaced 911 audio, Dwight Howard contacted authorities on March 7 claiming his wife left their Georgia mansion with several of his personal items. During the call, Dwight told dispatch that a woman—allegedly his wife—had taken off in a gray Camaro. He also claimed she took his valuables including jewelry, wedding ring, and phone. 

Authorities reportedly told him an officer would follow up so he could file a report. However, the timing raised eyebrows, as the alleged incident happened just two days before Dwight filed for divorce on March 9. Around the time the divorce filing became public, Amy Luciani took to Instagram with allegations against Dwight. She has accused him of drug use—which he has since denied—and made abuse claims tied to their relationship and family situation.

Amy’s 911 Call Paints A Different Picture

Meanwhile, audio from a separate 911 call made by Amy Howard a day earlier is also circulating—and it tells a very different story. In the March 6 call, Amy claimed Dwight locked her out of their Georgia mansion during an argument, leaving her stuck outside in the rain. Additionally, Amy told the dispatcher she had to walk through the woods and force her way through a side gate to get back onto the property. She also identified her husband during the call as “Dwight Howard from the Lakers.”

Furthermore, Amy mentioned that the home contains a large number of weapons. She claimed that there are “over a thousand” stored in what she described as a gun room on the property. Lastly, she can be heard  sharing frustration about being forced to sleep in her car during disputes, saying she couldn’t keep dealing with the situation.

After 33 years of marriage, Barack and Michelle Obama are navigating unfamiliar changes, and the former First Lady is revealing it.

The former first couple’s marriage has weathered its share of challenges, something they have opened up about. 

After debunking divorce rumors last year, the pair are now stepping into a different chapter of life, with their daughters, Malia Obama and Sasha Obama, all grown and living independently.

How Michelle And Barack Obama Are Adjusting As Empty Nesters

The “Becoming” author recently spoke candidly about where she and her husband stand today, describing their marriage as entering a period of rediscovery and focusing on themselves. 

“Our kids are grown. They’re out,” Michelle said on Wednesday’s episode of the “IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson” podcast. “They’re out. We’re looking at each other like, ‘Hey, I remember you.’ Now I’m not mad about anything. I don’t need you to do anything for me.”

The 62-year-old admitted that the transition has been unfamiliar territory for both of them. “It’s a new phase,” Michelle said. “Which takes time. We’re in a new phase of life.”

Michelle explained that both she and Barack now have to find themselves, as for years, their lives have revolved around their kids. 

She also disclosed that many of the hardest moments in their relationship happened “because of their kids,” and called parenting the first major joint project couples do together.

Even after more than three decades together, Michelle emphasized that the relationship still requires effort.

“The level of muscle Barack and I have in our marriage is earned,” the mom of two added. “It’s earned over time, and it’s only gotten better. That’s the point. It only gets better. We’ve done the work.”

Michelle Obama Credited Couples Therapy And Self-Empowerment For Strengthening Her Marriage

Michelle’s comments about putting effort into her relationship echo comments she made earlier this year during an appearance on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

As The Blast reported, at the time, the author explained that she and her beau have constantly worked together to further strengthen their union. She revealed that they have attended couples therapy, which helped them improve communication and navigate challenges better.

She further emphasized the importance of self-empowerment, encouraging people to prioritize their health, confidence, and personal development rather than depending entirely on a partner for validation.

How Barack Failed To Notice Michelle’s New Appearance 

The attorney has also shared light-hearted moments from her union. The Blast reported a February episode of her podcast with her brother, Craig Robinson, where she shared that she recently gotten new ear piercings, an idea inspired by younger generations.

She noted that the decision was not spontaneous, as she wanted more piercings, but stopped after getting a second one before having children.

However, she went for it, and it took three days before Barack realized something was different, jokingly blaming her habit of wearing her hair down. She recalled teasing  him, saying: “I sleep with you every night, dude, you know?”

Barack Obama Praised As Protective Husband At NBA Game

Regardless of Barack’s failure to notice his wife’s new looks, he has undoubtedly had sweet public moments with her. Last month, the couple attended the NBA All-Star Game with their daughter Sasha. Michelle later posted photos from the outing on Instagram.

One moment, however, captured fans’ attention when a stray ball flew toward the couple. The ex-president quickly caught it before it could hit Michelle.

In a video later shared online, he calmly handed the ball to Devin Booker with a grin. The clip quickly gained attention on social media, with many praising his quick reflexes and protective instincts.

Per The Blast, one fan gushed about the moment, writing, “He’s a protector! I saw now he protected Michelle right there.”

Michelle Obama’s Second Daughter Seen Vaping 

While Michelle and Barack adjust to life without their daughters at home, Sasha has recently made headlines of her own.

According to The Blast, the 24-year-old was spotted vaping after a workout session. In clips circulating online, she carried an oversized tote bag over one shoulder, her phone in one hand and a vape in the other, taking a few puffs as she walked away.

Michelle has previously spoken about the challenges of raising children in the public eye during their time in the White House. She explained that Sasha and Malia went through typical milestones like driving, prom, parties, drinking, and even smoking. However, keeping the vices out of headlines was a struggle she described as a “nightmare.”

The price tag on Meghan Markle‘s Australian women’s retreat is already rubbing people the wrong way.

The Duchess of Sussex has set tongues wagging with the cost of attending her upcoming luxury retreat, which is said to offer unforgettable experiences. Offering a one-on-one meeting with fans who would attend the event would come at a high cost of over a thousand dollars. 

The retreat drama comes after Meghan Markle’s recently dissolved partnership with the popular movie streaming platform Netflix. There have also been rising rumors that she is looking to expand her lifestyle brand outside the U.S., particularly to Australia.

Critics Can’t Get Past The Price Tag Of Meghan Markle’s Australian Retreat

Not everyone agrees with Ian Pelham Turner, who said, “I feel this is a wonderful opportunity for the guests to meet a Royal with a genuine heart and for Meghan to relax and be with people who wish to listen to her thoughts on life.”

The first thing that tipped many people off was the cost. Page Six shared that attendees paying for the VIP experience could spend roughly $2,288 or lock down Early Bird tickets for $1,930. Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, described the retreat as “essentially a very expensive girls’ weekend built around access to the former actress.”

He also argued that the mom of two isn’t living up to her status as an entrepreneur and founder, explaining that she has shown a lack of continuity in her ventures. He cited the uneven reports surrounding her brand, As Ever, and her unrenewed projects with Netflix.

“For someone who often talks about building, her record seems more in line with demolition,” the branding expert said. Another royal expert stressed that when royals begin attaching their titles to paid appearances and a long list of ventures, it can be seen as desperation rather than influence.

The Retreat Is Reportedly Packed With Activities

Meghan has been recruited by hosts Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and Gemma O’Neill to headline a women’s retreat in Australia for the podcast “Her Best Life.” With the former actress as the lead in the event, there are many activities scheduled to take place, but the focus would be on “powerful conversations, relaxation, laughter, and unforgettable experiences.”

O’Neill shared that part of the event would feature an exclusive interview with the Duchess of Sussex, and the biggest moment of the weekend is set to be a gala dinner, which would be an “in-person conversation” with the event’s headliner, Meghan. The VIP guests might get their money’s worth as they will also be allowed to take a group photograph with the “Suits” star, will be gifted a goodie bag, and will have access to an ocean-view hotel room.

O’Neill says that the mom of two became involved in the event because she “really loves what our community is about,” but is also doing it as a favor for a mutual friend. Besides her desire to contribute ti community, royal experts say that the luxury event offers fans a rare chance to see a more personal side of Meghan.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry Have Been Told To Brace Up For A Shift On Australian Soil

Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, are reportedly preparing for a tour around Sydney and Melbourne this coming April. This would mark their first time back in the country since their 2018 wedding, and they have been warned that the tide of acceptance may have changed.

The Blast reports that their trip will center around private, professional, and charitable engagements. However, the public’s perception towards the couple who renounced their royal obligations and left the United Kingdom in 2020 has changed and would most likely affect the way they are accepted.

“I think there will be plenty of monarchists and republicans who won’t welcome Harry and Meghan’s visit. Any ‘royal’ visit, even by members of the family who no longer represent the king, will inevitably create debate about the monarchy,” an insider disclosed. This Australian trip comes after the couple visited the Za’atari Refugee Camp last month, where they met displaced families and youths in Jordan.

The Duchess Of Sussex Brand May Be Faced With Future Hurdles

While As Ever has seen significant site visits in the past months, PR experts warn that the brand may experience some issues in the near future, even with the increasing website traffic.

Between October last year and this January, As Ever has recorded a remarkable 36% increase in website visits. Even though this is a stepping stone for the brand, experts explain that it does not directly translate to long-term success. The Blast notes that more importance has been placed on sales conversions, clear product planning, and repeat customers.

PR and branding specialist Renae Smith further explained that a fast sell-out of products could mean the said product is in high demand, but on the flip side, it could also mean that there is extremely limited stock of the product. Smith cautioned that for the lifestyle brand to rise to the occasion, Meghan and Harry must align in terms of their respective pursuits and values.

Meghan Markle And Her Husband Have A Heart For Philanthropy

The power couple has dug their hands into several humanitarian works and even bagged that “Humanitarians of the Year” award at the Project Healthy Minds’ World Mental Health Day Gala last year.

They have given their voice to promote safer online platforms for the younger generation and have been advocates for mental wellness through their Archewell Foundation. The Blast reported that Harry actively participated in supporting the Halo Trust’s landmine-clearing work in Angola last July, which Princess Diana had done nearly three decades earlier.

In 2021, they jointly wrote an open letter to leaders at the G-20 summit, asking them to expand vaccine access in poor countries. The couple also co-hosted another event at the UN General Assembly to canvas for vaccine equity. Amid all these, the lovbirds have taken other international trips to promote their cause, including their 2024 visits to Nigeria and Colombia.

Will many fans grace Meghan Markle’s upcoming retreat?

Young and the Restless exposes that Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) absolutely furious with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) for kidnapping Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Nikki vows she’ll end this—but how far will she go?

Young and the Restless: Nikki Rages

Recently Nikki found out from Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) that Victor kidnapped Jack to use him as a bargaining chip to get Chancellor back from Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson).

But we know Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) still owns Chancellor so she went to cut a deal with Victor. Although no one gives Phyllis any credit, she absolutely said she’d hand over Chancellor to get Jack back. Why would Phyllis care? She was gonna give it to Billy anyway.

But Phyllis explained to the Abbotts that Victor now wants everything back in exchange for Jack. And of course, Phyllis doesn’t want to do that and doesn’t think Victor will hurt Jack because she knows Nikki would roast her husband.

But now, Diane’s furious and said if anything happens to Jack it’s on Phyllis because she’s refusing to give it all back. But Nikki stormed out before all those details came out. She blew into the ranch bellowing for Victor to come out—but he’s nowhere to be found.

Young and the Restless: Nikki Storms the Ranch Looking for Victor

And Nikki assumes Victor’s staying away and avoiding the ranch because he knows Nikki’s going to be furious with him. She also worries that Victor has more planned than just kidnapping Jack and she’s right because Victor has involved crazy Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk).

Bottom line is Victor can’t hide from Nikki forever and eventually, they’ll be face-to-face in an explosive confrontation and we want to talk about what fallout Victor’s going to face from Nikki, and also how Victor will react to Nikki’s anger.

Because we know Victor’s not going to take it well—he’s going to blow up and clap back at her. So, let’s talk about what’s ahead.

Nikki’s at Her Limit

First, we know this is going to be an explosive confrontation because Nikki is sick and tired of Victor doing whatever he wants and always leaving her in the dark and lying to her. He outright lies right in Nikki’s face all the time and also Victor lies by omission.

Nikki’s on the warpath right now and said it’s time for Victor to deal with her when Nikki called and left Victor an irate voice mail. But, it definitely seems like he’s dodging Nikki maybe hoping her temper will blow up and over.

But Victor’s going to have to face Nikki soon and explain himself and I absolutely think he’s going to try to lie and deny and when that doesn’t work, we’ll see Victor justifying his actions and clapping back at Nikki.

Victor Will Fly into a Jealous Rage Over Nikki’s Concern for Jack on Young and the Restless

That leads us to a second thing. I expect Victor to fly into a jealous rage because of Nikki’s concern for Jack. We all know that Victor hates the connection between Jack and Nikki even though it’s totally platonic.

Victor’s always complaining about Nikki giving a damn about Jack. And recently Victor threw a fit when he caught Nikki in Jack’s arms. But they were hugging and it was totally innocent. Of course, it was strictly platonic, but Victor did not see it that way.

And he raged at Jack to get his hands off his wife. So, I absolutely expect Victor to be fuming because Nikki’s worried about Jack and wants him back home safely. And when Nikki demands that Victor let Jack go immediately without trying to get something in exchange for him, he’ll lose it.

And Nikki will likely turn around and rage back at Victor for taking Jack from his family. She won’t let Victor sidestep and make excuses. And if Nikki pushes him enough, Victor may let loose and tell her the ugly truth once and for all. And that might reveal some big info.

Victor May Reveal Patty Is with Jack on Y&R

Because Victor may let it slip that crazy Patty is keeping Jack company. Because Nikki knows that Victor used unhinged Patty before as a tool against Jack. That might push Nikki to her breaking point on Young and the Restless.

She knows just how dangerous Patty is because she’s a violent nutcase. Back in the day, she shot Jack three times, I believe in the chest, and she also shot Victor and nearly killed him. If not for getting a heart transplant from an Abbott, he’d be dead thanks his scheming with Patty.

So, Nikki is going to be absolutely horrified to find out Victor has Patty looking after Jack on the yacht and is using her against Jack yet again.

Meanwhile, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) defended Victor’s actions talking to Nikki this week. As far as Victoria’s concerned, the Newmans have to go to extremes to get their legacy back. But she also doesn’t want to see Jack harmed—she knows that would devastate Billy.

But, Victoria doesn’t think Victor would actually hurt Jack or risk his marriage to Nikki. But let’s be real—Victoria’s 100% wrong. Victor wouldn’t care at all if Jack wound up hurt. That’s why he handed him to Patty, a woman who tried to kill him before. Victor does not care.

Victoria and Nikki May Have a Rift

As Nikki gets more upset, if Victoria chimes into one of their arguments and sides with Victor, then Victoria’s difference of opinion with Nikki may escalate. So, this whole thing could end up causing a rift between Victoria and Nikki heating up this Newman civil war.

And the last thing to consider is that Victor may flip things around on Nikki and actually tries to play the victim card and Victor may accuse her of choosing Jack over him. Victor expects Nikki to blindly support every decision he makes and never call him out on anything.

She usually does and enables Victor’s bad deeds or turns a blind-eye. But I don’t think that’ll fly with Nikki this time. I think she’ll storm out and leave Victor—at least for a while. I think Nikki’s going to write Victor a reality check.

In the end, I doubt Nikki will stay split from Victor. But in the short term, until Jack’s safely back in Genoa City, Nikki may put Victor in the dog house and leave him there until her friend returns. But the question is, when Nikki’s ready to come home, will Victor say no because he feels like she’s disloyal? Maybe.

HBO Max has one of the deepest libraries among the major streamers, thanks to a lineup of films that dates back to the dawn of cinema.

But even if you prefer more recent films, HBO Max has a large number of films from the 21st century, including blockbuster hits.

For this month, Watch With Us has selected three new HBO Max movies you need to watch in March, as ranked by IMDb.

Our picks include a controversial crime movie, one of the very first horror sequels and a film that still feels very timely in 2026.

‘Spring Breakers’ (2013)

IMDb rank: 5.3

Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson were all looking to shake their Disney Channel and Freeform good girl images when they signed on to star in Spring Breakers. This crime comedy has gone on to become a cult classic, and it’s still pretty wild even by today’s standards. The story follows four college students, Faith (Gomez), Candy (Hudgens), Brit (Benson) and Cotty (Rachel Korine) as they decide to do anything to get to spring break, even if it means breaking the law.

Not even armed robbery is too far for these girls to go, but they do wind up in hot water for their out-of-control antics. A drug dealer called Alien (James Franco) takes the opportunity to bail the girls out and exploit them while they’re vulnerable. Alien may talk a good game, but he needs the girls more than they need him, especially when his enemies come calling. By the time this spring break is over, these women may not have a home to go back to.

Spring Breakers is streaming on HBO Max.

‘The Bride of Frankenstein’ (1935)

IMDb rank: 7.8

With The Bride! currently in theaters, it’s fitting that HBO Max has brought back The Bride of Frankenstein, the sequel to the most iconic Frankenstein movie ever made. Boris Karloff reprises his role as Frankenstein’s Monster, and he’s even better in his second time in the role. In a slight retcon from the original film’s conclusion, both the monster and Henry Frankenstein (Colin Clive) survive, although Henry now completely rejects his imperfect creation.

One of the most famous horror movie monsters is all the rage right now: only a few months after Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein, the Creature returns in a punk-rock-infused gothic romance. From actor-turned-director Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Bride! is a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired reimagining of The Bride of Frankenstein set in 1930s New York City. Jessie Buckley stars as […]

While Henry has his wife, Elizabeth Frankenstein (Valerie Hobson), the monster has no one to love until Frankenstein’s mentor, Doctor Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger), finds the creature and convinces him to take part in a new experiment. With the monster’s help, Pretorius builds a body for the Bride (Elsa Lanchester), but they’ll need Henry’s help to finish the experiment, whether he wants to or not.

The Bride of Frankenstein is streaming on HBO Max.

‘V for Vendetta’ (2006)

IMDb rank: 8.1

If you’ve ever seen people wearing Guy Fawkes masks during protests, it’s because of the cult film V for Vendetta and the Alan Moore comic book that inspired it. In the near future, the United Kingdom has fallen to a tyrannical and fascist regime that stifles resistance at every turn. Everyone who stands up to the regime winds up dead, except for V (Hugo Weaving). This vigilante in a Guy Fawkes mask never reveals his face, and he has grand plans to spark a revolution.

Natalie Portman also stars in the film as Evey Hammond, a young woman whose life is saved by V. Even so, Evey isn’t sure she can trust V regardless of his intentions. But once Evey is in V’s life, there’s no going back.

An arrest warrant has been issued for former University of Kentucky competitive cheerleader Laken Snelling after she was indicted for manslaughter over the death of her newborn baby.

The warrant was issued after the manslaughter charge came down on Tuesday, March 10, according to court records viewed by WKYT. 

Snelling was arrested in August 2025 after admitting to giving birth and hiding the infant’s body in a trash bag in a closet of her Lexington, Kentucky, home. 

The manslaughter charge was issued on Tuesday after it was revealed the baby was alive at the time Snelling gave birth. The Kentucky Medical Examiner’s Office determined the infant’s cause of death was “asphyxia by undetermined means.”

Snelling was also indicted on charges of abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant, which were originally issued after her arrest last year. 

The former cheerleader has been living at her father’s home in Jefferson City, Tennessee, since late October 2025, when a judge ordered her to home confinement and to wear a GPS ankle monitoring device.

Prior to that, Snelling had been splitting her time between her parents’ homes under a joint custody provision, according to court documents obtained by People. She spent her days at her mother’s home in Morristown, Tennessee, and her nights at her father’s home, about 15 miles away. 

Snelling was placed on house arrest in September 2025 when she was released on $100,000 following her initial arrest. She waived her right to a preliminary trial later that month, instead opting for her case to be heard by a grand jury, 

Fayette Commonwealth’s Attorney Kimberly Baird explained how the grand jury came to their manslaughter indictment after Tuesday’s hearing.

The events leading to the arrest of former University of Kentucky competitive cheerleader Laken Snelling could have been prevented, according to a leading infant safety activist.  Snelling, 21, was arrested in Lexington, Kentucky on August 30, and charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant. According […]

“They were given the information about homicide, the four levels of homicide and then deliberated and decided that manslaughter first degree was the charge that should come out of the grand jury,” Baird told WKYT. 

After her arrest last year, Snelling “admitted to giving birth” and to “concealing the birth by cleaning any evidence, placing all cleaning items used inside of a black trash bag, including the infant, who was wrapped in a towel.”

Snelling told authorities the baby was likely still alive when she gave birth and claimed she passed out on top of the infant’s body shortly after, waking up to find it “blue and purple.”

A former competitor on the University of Kentucky’s STUNT cheerleading team, Snelling is no longer enrolled at the school or a member of the team.
