Less than four months remain until Doomsday falls upon the MCU and unites heroes across generations to face Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom. Among the 20th Century Fox X-Men who have been brought out of retirement for the latest Avengers film is prolific The Traitors host Alan Cumming, who put away his wardrobe of fabulous outfits in exchange for the blue visage of Nightcrawler for the occasion, alongside former co-stars Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Kelsey Grammer. It was an experience he’d previously described as “healing” after the nightmarish production that was X2, and now, the wait is nearly over to see him back in action over 20 years later. Before that, though, he’s playing the villain for a much different globe-spanning adventure.
On October 9, Viva Kids will bring Treasure Trekkers to theaters for the first time with a new feature-length film based on the show and J.S. Friedman‘s beloved children’s book seriesthat inspired it, Maurice’s Valises. It’ll aim to capture the same sense of discovery and friendship that have made the stories of young explorers traveling the world so compelling to audiences for years. At the center of the film is Mip, a 12-year-old adopted monkey navigating a world of cats and rodents until he finds a magical map to Empathra in his family home. Upon touching it, he’s teleported to the new land and begins exploring in search of his origins, all while trying to restore compassion among its people. Collider can exclusively share the official trailer that teases the twists and turns of the perilous journey, including the friends he makes along the way, like Mac and Mo, and the dangers ahead of him.
The footage opens with Mip experiencing the trials of middle school, where, as a marmoset, he’s picked on by just about everyone. Adopted by a cat, he’s uncertain of his place in the world, which makes the map to Empathra so enticing. Upon being whisked away, meeting Mac and Mo, and becoming part of the Treasure Trekkers with them, he finally has a chance to learn his origin story. Unfortunately, he needs to keep a low profile lest he be caught by Cumming’s vain, flamboyant King Clarence, who appears to have some connection with the monkey’s lineage and wants to keep the truth under wraps. To learn where Mip really came from, the Trekkers traverse mountains, temples, waterfalls, and jungles, connecting with fellow monkeys, dodging danger at seemingly every turn, and delivering lighthearted fun on a grand scale.

Your Universe Has Been Chosen You Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.

A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
Advertisement
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Advertisement
Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
Advertisement
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
Advertisement
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Advertisement
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.

‘Treasure Trekkers’ Assembles a Cast of Beloved Voice-Acting Veterans
Writer-director Kevin Munroe took the wheel for the Treasure Trekkers movie, bringing a wealth of experience from the 2007 TMNT and the 2016 video game adaptation, Ratchet & Clank. This marks his first feature credit in eight years, after previously co-directing Troll: The Tale of a Tail. For his return to the big screen, he got to work with a wealth of exciting names beyond Cumming. The main trio of Mip, Mo, and Mac are voiced by Teen Titans Go! co-stars Greg Cipes and Tara Strong, alongside Meredith Bull. Also prominently featured are 30 Rock fan-favorite Jack McBrayer and fellow voice-acting legend John DiMaggio, best known as Futurama‘s Bender and Adventure Time‘s Jake the Dog.
The Treasure Trekkers movie premieres in theaters on October 9. Check out the exclusive trailer in the player above.
There’s nothing quite like a great mystery film. Pretty much any and all movies revolve around not knowing what’s going to happen next, but history’s best mystery movies take that concept to a whole other level, telling stories that revolve entirely around a central enigma that the main characters must proceed to investigate and solve. It’s tough to truly nail the mystery genre, but over the course of the last six years, there have been six particular mystery movie masterpieces which have proven to perfectly understand everything that makes fans of the genre click.
Whether it’s a family detective movie like The Sheep Detectivesor an award-winning thriller like It Was Just An Accident, the best mystery films that the big screen has seen since 2020 are all bound to go down in history as some of the best movies of the decade by the time 2030 rolls in. What’s even better is that, as delectably diverse as the mystery genre can be, these six masterpieces offer something for virtually everyone. Some of them are intense, others are funny, others take themselves entirely seriously, and others are willing to have some silly fun with their central mystery. Regardless, they’re all masterfully suspenseful and all-around essential viewing for fans of the genre.

‘The Sheep Detectives’ (2026)

Leonie Swann‘s German mystery novel Three Bags Full is one of the most inventive and freshly original detective stories that literature has ever seen, if only because its main detectives aren’t humans at all, but rather a group of sheep. It’s an idea that lent itself flawlessly to a family-friendly cinematic adaptation, but even then, the trailers for Kyle Balda‘s The Sheep Detectives made it seem like little more than a silly romp. In the end, not only did the movie end up being one of the biggest surprise hits of 2026 so far, but genuinely one of the best mystery flicks the world has seen since the 2020s rolled in.
Just like its trailers showed, The Sheep Detectives knows precisely when to have some goofy fun with its premise, offering plenty of elaborate gags and delightfully effective family-friendly humor. When things get more serious, however, they get surprisingly serious, with the movie being one of the most unexpected tear-jerkers of the last six years. It’s a beautiful, life-affirming ensemble piece about the importance of grief and mortality for the human condition, a movie so wonderfully mature and complex that it can easily be counted among the best family movies of the last 10 years.

‘The Batman’ (2022)

With The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan completely changed the game, both when it came to Batman movies and to superhero and comic book cinema as a whole. And if there’s any film worthy of competing with it for the title of best Batman film to date, it’s undoubtedly Christopher Reeves‘ The Batman, one of the best thriller movies of the last five years. Yes, it’s primarily a superhero action flick, but its status as a true detective mystery movie is undeniable—and it’s one of the best that we have seen over the course of the 2020s, at that.
With an absolutely perfect Robert Pattinson in the lead role and some of the strongest production values the superhero movie genre has seen in years, The Batman only continues to get better as the years pass. Its many action sequences are absolutely enrapturing, and its take on the Batman mythos and the character himself is as unique as it is riveting; but the best part is that it mainly succeeds as a nail-biting mystery movie. Never before had the big screen seen the Caped Crusader engaging in true detective work this intensely, and the result is one of the most deliriously entertaining blockbusters that the world has seen throughout the last six years.

‘Decision to Leave’ (2022)
Image via CJ Entertainment
Few countries produce mystery thrillers quite as engrossing as those produced in South Korea, and few South Korean filmmakers have ever produced more consistently phenomenal work than Park Chan-wook. One of the hyper-acclaimed auteur’s latest is Decision to Leave, a neo-noir romantic mystery where a married detective takes on a murder investigation that leads him to slowly develop feelings for the murdered man’s wife. The absolute masterpiece that ensues takes full advantage of every second of its nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime.
Indeed, Decision to Leave is one of the best neo-noir mystery movies of all time, a testament to everything that defines Park as a universally lauded director. The film wears its Alfred Hitchcock influences on its sleeve (Vertigo being an abundantly clear point of comparison), but feels like an entirely unique subversion of usual romance thriller and mystery thriller tropes nonetheless. It’s intelligent, psychologically complex, visually gorgeous, perfectly acted, and all around just another piece of evidence that Park Chan-wook is one of the greatest mystery filmmakers currently working.

The Academy Has Decided Your Perfect Film Is…
Your answers have pointed to one Oscar Best Picture winner above all others. This is the film that was made for the way your mind works.
Advertisement
Parasite
You are drawn to films that operate on multiple levels simultaneously — that begin in one genre and quietly, brilliantly migrate into another. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite is a film about class, desire, and the architecture of inequality that manages to be darkly funny, deeply suspenseful, and genuinely shocking across a single extraordinary running time. Your instinct is for cinema that hides its true intentions until the moment it’s ready to reveal them. Parasite is exactly that — a film that rewards close attention and punishes assumptions, right up to its devastating final image.
Advertisement
Everything Everywhere All at Once
You want it all — and this film gives you all of it. The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most maximalist films ever made: action comedy, multiverse sci-fi, family drama, existential crisis, and a genuinely earned emotional core that sneaks up on you amid the chaos. You are someone who responds to ambition, who doesn’t want cinema to choose between being entertaining and being meaningful. This film refuses that choice entirely. It is overwhelming by design, and its overwhelming nature is precisely the point — because the feeling of being crushed by infinite possibility is exactly what it’s about.
Advertisement
Oppenheimer
You are drawn to cinema on a grand scale — films that understand history not as a backdrop but as a force, and that place their characters inside that force and watch what happens. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is a film about the terrifying gap between what we can do and what we should do, told with the full weight of one of the most consequential moments in human history behind it. You want your films to feel important without feeling self-important — to earn their ambition through sheer craft and the gravity of their subject. Oppenheimer does exactly that. It is enormous, complicated, and refuses easy comfort.
Advertisement
Birdman
You are drawn to films that foreground their own construction — that make the how of the filmmaking part of the what it’s about. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, shot to appear as a single continuous take, is cinema examining itself through the cracked mirror of a fading actor’s ego. You respond to formal daring, to the feeling that a film is doing something that probably shouldn’t be possible. Michael Keaton’s performance and Emmanuel Lubezki’s restless camera create something genuinely unlike anything else — a film that is simultaneously about creativity, relevance, self-destruction, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing if your work means anything at all.
Advertisement
No Country for Old Men
You are drawn to cinema that trusts silence, that refuses to explain itself, and that treats dread as a form of meaning. The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men is a film about the arrival of a new kind of evil — implacable, arbitrary, and utterly indifferent to the moral frameworks we use to make sense of the world. It is one of the most formally controlled films ever made, and its controlled restraint is what makes it so terrifying. You want your films to haunt you, not comfort you. You are not interested in resolution if resolution would be dishonest. No Country for Old Men is honest in a way that most cinema never dares to be.

‘Monster’ (2023)

Another exceptional auteur who has altogether re-defined Asian cinema as a whole over the course of the 21st century is Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda, whose coming-of-age psychological drama and mystery thriller Monsteris the only mystery movie from the 2020s on Letterboxd’s Top 500 highest-rated movies for a reason. All in all, it’s one of the only true thriller masterpieces from the 2020s, the sort that only a master like Kore-eda could have possibly crafted.
Structured much like Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon, it’s a cinematic study of truth itself.

Absolutely perfect for those who love mystery movies that are as twisty as possible, Monster toys around with and cleverly subverts audience expectations in order to deliver a story all about the toxicity of prejudice and judgments. Structured much like Akira Kurosawa‘s Rashomon, it’s a cinematic study of truth itself, and though that may sound like an idea too ambitious for any director to execute satisfyingly, Kore-eda is no normal director. Winner of the Best Screenplay award at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, this absolutely timeless masterpiece is not only one of the most thematically complex mystery movies of the last six years, but downright one of the best movies of the 2020s in general, regardless of genre.

‘It Was Just An Accident’ (2025)
It Was Just an AccidentImage via NEON
Powerhouse films delivered by powerhouse Asian filmmakers have been in no kind of short supply over the course of the last six years, as proven by the Palme d’Or winner It Was Just An Accident by Jafar Panahi, one of the greatest Iranian filmmakers in history. Panahi, since he was under an official government filmmaking ban, produced the movie in secret using a real shoestring budget and completely bare-bones filmmaking techniques. It’s a cinematic miracle delivered to humanity straight from the movie gods that the result actually came to see the light of day, because this is truly one of the most stunning artistic achievements that cinema has delivered in decades.
Advertisement
Starting with an instantly engrossing hook and leading all the way to one of the most perfect final movie shots of the 21st century, It Was Just An Accident is a revenge mystery thriller and moral drama all about the devastating psychological toll of the trauma and endless cycle of violence generated by authoritarianism. Despite being full of gorgeous visuals and perfect performances that would have never had you believe this was a low-budget production, It Was Just An Accident‘s low-key nature allows the riveting narrative and its thematic meditations to lead the way.

‘Anatomy of a Fall’ (2023)

Winner of the 2023 Palme d’Or, Justine Triet‘s Anatomy of a Fallis nothing short of one of the best legal thrillers of all time. Far from just being any ol’ legal thriller, though, this enrapturing mystery drama is also about the elusiveness of objective truth, exploring the theme that has always fascinated the legal drama movie genre: How does people’s subjective perception shape reality itself? Brilliantly metatextual and impeccably written (which earned the movie a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award), it’s one of the best international movies of the 2020s so far.
Advertisement
If you’re a mystery movie fan, what’s not to love about Anatomy of a Fall? Its cast is absolutely phenomenal, Sandra Hüller in particular delivering what’s perhaps the best performance the genre has seen this decade; Triet’s direction is perfectly paced and visually stunning; and the ambiguity of the narrative keeps the film consistently nail-bitingly suspenseful from start to finish. For anyone who loves this genre, Anatomy of a Fall should be considered essential viewing.

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Sophie Rain may have earned more than $100 million, but the OF star is not giving herself unlimited access to her staggering fortune. During an appearance on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast, Rain confirmed the eye-popping reports about her earnings before revealing the safeguards she has put in place to keep herself from blowing through the money.
The 21-year-old said she invests most of what she makes, follows a strict monthly spending limit, and relies on a financial adviser who has been instructed not to give in when she asks for more. Rain has also used her success to support her entire family, including purchasing a home for her parents and allowing them to retire.
Maher directly questioned Rain about whether the financial figures reported about her were accurate or exaggerated. “That is very true,” Rain responded before revealing just how much she has earned since beginning her OF career. “Altogether, I’ve been doing this for two and a half years. I’ve made over $100 million.”
However, Rain was quick to clarify that the number represents her overall earnings rather than the amount she personally pocketed. She noted that taxes and the cost of paying her employees take a sizable portion of that total. “But obviously, there’s taxes I got to pay and all the people I have employed, I’ve got to pay that,” she said.
Advertisement
Rain then admitted that keeping up with her taxes has not exactly been easy, joking that she had filed for an extension “like 20 times,” confessing that “It’s really bad.”
The OF Star Invests Most Of Her Money
Maher asked whether Rain had already spent her millions, prompting the content creator to insist she had not burned through the fortune. “Oh, no, no, no, no,” she responded. “I’m investing most of my money.”
Rain credited her financial adviser with helping her manage the massive amount of money she earned in such a short period. Despite having access to more money than she ever imagined, she has deliberately limited how much she can spend each month.
“I have a really awesome financial advisor. I love him so much,” she shared. “I literally tell him I’m only allowed this much money a month. Don’t give me any more if I ask for.”
The unusual arrangement lets Rain protect her long-term future while preventing sudden success from completely changing her spending habits. Although she acknowledged that she does spend money, Rain made it clear that preserving her wealth remains one of her biggest priorities.

Sophie Rain Bought Her Parents A House And Retired Them
While Rain keeps her personal spending under control, she has not hesitated to use her money to improve her family’s lives. “I support my entire family now,” she revealed. “I bought my mom and dad a house. I retired them.”
Her parents now help care for her animals whenever she travels. Rain described the arrangement as a mutually beneficial balance because she can compensate them for helping her while also keeping her family close. “They take care of my animals when I’m traveling,” she said. “So it’s a really good balance. And, like, I love it.”
Rain added that being able to provide for her parents has given her something she wanted long before the money began pouring in. “This is all I ever wanted was just my family to be together,” she admitted.
Sophie Rain’s Private Life Is Far Less Flashy
Despite her enormous earnings, Rain indicated that her life away from social media is considerably quieter than people might expect. The OF star said she lives “in the middle of nowhere” and prefers spending her free time surrounded by nature and animals.
When she is not actively creating content, Rain makes a point of disconnecting from the online world entirely. “Whenever I’m not, like, actively making content, I just turn my phone off, and I’m literally just at home playing with my cows,” she shared.
Advertisement
Rain Does Not Want Her Fortune To Define Her
Despite her financial success, Rain acknowledged that people often struggle to see anything beyond her money and OF career. “A lot of people think that I’m just a rich, OF, if you will say, whore,” she told Maher. “I’m not a real person. I’m just online. You know, people don’t see me.”
Her comments suggest that the fortune has brought emotional complications alongside financial freedom. Rain can now support her loved ones and create the security she lacked as a child, but her earnings have also become the defining feature of her public image.
For now, Rain appears determined to keep her money working for her rather than allowing it to control her, one investment, one spending limit, and one family milestone at a time.
Pink is facing backlash after weighing in on Macklemore’s pro-Palestinian appearance during an Ed Sheeran concert. The blowback appears to have turned personal, with detractors mocking her music beyond branding her a “Zionist.”
At the center of the uproar is an Instagram Story in which Pink amplified a group’s condemnation of Macklemore’s performance without adding any comments of her own.
Pink is catching heat online after appearing to side against Macklemore over his pro-Palestinian remarks at an Ed Sheeran concert. The “So What” singer had reshared a post criticizing Macklemore for bringing his pro-Palestinian message to Sheeran’s New Jersey show.
Pink’s repost quickly became fodder for a heated Reddit discussion, where some users branded her a “Zionist” and others went after her music. Addressing the latter, one commenter joked that “Mid is generous.”
Advertisement
Another suggested the only thing worse than being called a Zionist was “someone who listens to Pink’s music by choice.” Still, others defended the Grammy winner, arguing that disagreement with her political stance did not erase her talent or catalog.
The Musician Had Reshared A Scathing Post About Macklemore’s Performance
The post at the center of the controversy came from the advocacy group StopAntisemitism, which took issue with Macklemore’s appearance at Sheeran’s MetLife Stadium show. “Awful,” the group began its Instagram message, arguing that Jewish fans had paid to watch Sheeran rather than be confronted with what it called “anti-Israel propaganda.”
StopAntisemitism criticized Macklemore for wearing a keffiyeh and shouting “Free Palestine” during his set. The organization also objected to his accusation that Israel was committing genocide, calling the claim “false.”
“Concertgoers are owed apologies and refunds,” the group declared before tagging Sheeran and calling the situation “unacceptable.” Pink shared the message to her Instagram Story without comment. She has not publicly explained why she reposted it.
Pink Appears To Respond To Critics With Defiant Memes
Pink seemingly had something to say about the criticism she has been receiving, though she didn’t address it directly. On September 7, the “Just Give Me a Reason” singer flooded her Instagram Stories with ten memes and quotes that appeared to reflect her mood amid the uproar.
Among them was a message reportedly declaring, “Being liked by everyone is a clown’s job.”
Advertisement
Another read, “What do you mean? Probably what I f-cking said,” while a third appeared equally defiant: “If they want to paint you as a villain, then pose.”
Pink Was Previously Accused Of ‘Glorifying’ Charlie Kirk’s Murder
This isn’t the first time Pink’s social media activity has ignited a political firestorm. In September 2025, the singer was slammed over posts she reportedly shared following conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
One post criticized President Donald Trump for ordering flags lowered to half-staff for Kirk, contrasting the gesture with his response to school-shooting victims. Pink also allegedly encouraged followers to make conversations about Kirk “awkward.”
However, a meme described as a “funeral idea” drew particularly fierce criticism. As The Blast reported, TikTok creator RigoStaRR subsequently went viral with a blistering takedown of the singer, accusing her of “glorifying Charlie’s murder” and urging listeners to delete her music.
The Backlash Highlights A Growing Celebrity Dilemma
Pink’s controversy is part of a broader predicament facing celebrities navigating the Israel-Palestine debate: taking a position can carry a steep price, but so does staying silent.
In 2024, the “Blockout” campaign encouraged social media users to block stars they believed had not spoken out enough about Gaza. AP reported that activists hoped cutting engagement would pressure celebrities to take a stand.
Advertisement
Boycott lists even categorized public figures by perceived position, while one expert likened efforts to reduce their visibility to “reputational warfare.”
On the other hand, speaking out has its own consequences, too. According to Reuters, for instance, actress Susan Sarandon recently claimed she is still losing movie roles because she is supporting Palestinians.
Paramount Pictures and Legendary Entertainment have unleashed a new trailer for Street Fighter, giving fans another action-packed look at the upcoming live-action adaptation of Capcom’s legendary fighting franchise.
The trailer debuted as Paramount and Legendary kicked off the film’s global World Warrior Tour in Tokyo, bringing the movie back to the country where the Street Fighter franchise was born.
Street Fighter [legendary pictures]
Set in 1993, Street Fighter follows former friends and fighters Ryu and Ken Masters, played by Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo. After growing apart, the two are pulled back into the fight when Chun-Li, played by Callina Liang, recruits them to compete in the World Warrior Tournament.

What initially appears to be a battle to determine the world’s greatest fighter soon becomes something much more dangerous, with a conspiracy lurking behind the tournament and Ryu and Ken eventually forced to confront both each other and their pasts.
The latest footage continues to embrace the wild personality of the games, mixing martial arts action with the colorful characters and larger-than-life style that have defined Street Fighter for decades.
Cody Rhodes as Guile [paramount]
And there are plenty of familiar faces joining the fight.

The massive cast includes Jason Momoa as Blanka, David Dastmalchian as M. Bison, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoa’i as Akuma, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as Balrog, Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Orville Peck as Vega, Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda and Mel Jarnson as Cammy. Eric André also appears as tournament announcer Don Sauvage.
Kitao Sakurai directs the film, which is produced by Legendary Pictures in association with Capcom. Sakurai recently explained that his goal was to avoid making an “off-the-shelf” video game movie, instead leaning into martial arts cinema, comedy and the distinct personality of the games.
Madelynn May spent much of her teenage years carrying an oxygen tank and facing a future in which doctors feared she could eventually need a lung transplant. Today, the 23-year-old content creator has built an online audience of more than 750,000 Instagram followers and a career she never expected to have. The journey between those two realities was anything but straightforward.
5Facebook | Madelynn May
A severe fungal infection led to pulmonary failure, life support, and years of treatment. Her health problems also disrupted her education, with May saying ninth grade was the last full grade she completed before later obtaining her GED. Years later, regular pulmonary function tests show a very different picture.
“I got very, very lucky,” May told The Blast. “They say my lungs are better than most people my age now.”
Madelynn May Spent Her Teenage Years Fighting To Recover
May grew up moving frequently around the American South because her father was a Marine. Her teenage years changed dramatically after she developed serious respiratory problems, including recurring pneumonia, ear infections, and sinus infections.
Her condition eventually deteriorated to the point that she suffered pulmonary failure and was placed on life support. “My parents got a call just, ‘Hey, your kid is on life support in our hospital,’” she recalled.

Doctors discovered an Aspergillus fungal infection affecting her respiratory system. May says mould was found in her lungs, ears and sinuses, and she underwent numerous procedures as doctors tried to treat it. For around three years, she relied on supplemental oxygen. “I had to walk around with an oxygen tank,” she said. “My oxygen would drop really low.”
At one stage, May says doctors discussed the possibility that she could eventually need a lung transplant. Instead, her lungs recovered. The experience came at a cost to the ordinary teenage life she might otherwise have had.
Her education was interrupted by her health, and she says she did not complete high school traditionally. May later earned her GED, but much of that period was focused on something more immediate: getting well.

It was during her recovery that social media began to take on a bigger role in May’s life. There was no grand plan to turn herself into a professional creator. Initially, being online simply gave her something enjoyable to focus on after spending so much time dealing with hospitals and treatment. “At first, I used social media as a way to distract myself during recovery,” she said. “It was just something fun.”
May also saw an opportunity to speak about what she had experienced. “I wanted to raise awareness of what I had been through,” she said. “I never imagined it would turn into a career.”

That career did not appear instantly. May began creating short-form content and posting consistently on TikTok, experimenting with different ideas and responding to comments from viewers. Then one remarkably simple video changed her trajectory.
The clip lasted around seven seconds, but it caught the attention of TikTok’s audience and rapidly spread across the platform. “It got like 20 million views,” May said.
The success of the video introduced May to an audience far beyond the one she had previously reached. It also demonstrated how unpredictable building a career online could be. There had been no elaborate production behind her breakthrough and no certainty that the video would perform differently from anything else she had posted.
May had simply continued creating until something connected. That willingness to experiment fits a personality she describes as naturally outspoken. “I’m kind of just a verbal spitfire,” she said. “I say a lot too much.” Rather than presenting a carefully polished version of herself at all times, May’s personality became part of what people responded to.
Her social media presence continued to grow, eventually developing from the distraction she had found during recovery into her full-time career. It was an outcome she could hardly have planned during the years when her day-to-day concerns revolved around oxygen levels rather than follower counts.
May’s story is not a conventional rise through the influencer world. She did not begin with a carefully mapped career strategy, and her teenage years had already forced her to adapt to circumstances outside her control.
What began as a way to occupy herself during recovery ultimately gave her a new direction. Today, May has more than 750,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts as @bubblebabyz0, and has turned content creation into a successful career.
But the numbers only tell part of the story. Her health has improved dramatically from the years when she needed supplemental oxygen and faced uncertainty over the future of her lungs. She continues to undergo regular pulmonary function tests and says the results have remained positive.
For May, that recovery puts everything that followed into perspective. Social media may have given her an unexpected career, but having the health to pursue it is the part of her story she once had far less reason to take for granted. “I got very, very lucky,” she said.

One of the biggest video game franchises in history is coming to the big screen for the first time next year, and we finally know a little more about it. Video game titan Nintendo has just made a major reveal for their upcoming film slate at a Nintendo Direct event, and it’s just enough to whet the appetites of longtime fans.

The Legend of Zelda launched 40 years ago, in 1986, and has gone through many permutations since then on every one of Nintendo’s major consoles. It centers around Link, an elf-like Hylian from the fantastical realm of Hyrule, who is often called upon to rescue or team up with Princess Zelda. Their primary foe is the demonic sorcerer Ganon, who seeks to possess the mystical Triforce to reshape Hyrule in his image.
And now, for the first time, the franchise is coming to the big screen. The title for the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie is, perhaps anticlimactically, The Legend of Zelda. Nintendo also released the first official logo for the film, which features the iconic triangular form of the Triforce artifact that the series revolves around.

The Legend of Zelda will be released in theaters on April 30, 2027. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

If there’s one brand that knows how to make fall fashion feel effortlessly cool, it’s Aritzia. From essential layers and sleek basics to polished trousers and cozy knits, the retailer’s fall collection is basically a blueprint for that elevated, off-duty look we want to live in all season long. The only catch? Building an entire fall wardrobe at Aritzia is a bit out of our budget, since the pieces are pricey and the total adds up fast.
Luckily, Amazon is packed with surprisingly luxe-looking pieces that channel the same minimalist, polished aesthetic for a whole lot less. We found 17 Aritzia-inspired styles, including oversized sweatshirts, wide-leg pants, chic cardigans, sleek layering pieces and even a cropped trench coat — and prices start at just $7. Whether you’re looking to recreate that effortlessly put-together look or simply want a few new fall staples without blowing your budget, these finds are worth adding to your cart.

Aritzia-Inspired Fashion Finds at Amazon, From $7
1. Square-Neck Staple: Consider this square-neck bodysuit the kind of foundational piece that makes getting dressed a whole lot easier. The double-layered body creates a smooth, flattering base for jeans, trousers or skirts, and the curved shoulders add a little structure to the slim silhouette. Its lightweight, breathable feel makes it especially easy to layer under chunky cardigans and jackets once temperatures drop.
2. Puffer Perfection: The cropped puffer is having a major fall-and-winter moment, and this one is especially polished. It has a wide quilted pattern and concealed zip-and-snap closure for a sleek finish. The insulated lining, stand collar, water-resistant shell and secure sleeve cuffs are ready for seriously chilly days. An adjustable bungee cord at the hem even lets you customize the fit.
3. Going-Out Glam: Who says your fall wardrobe has to be all sweaters and jackets? This stretchy halter top brings a little going-out energy to the mix with its sleek, slim-fitting silhouette and criss-cross neckline. Wear it with high-waisted trousers for dinner plans, or let it peek out beneath an oversized blazer for that effortlessly styled Aritzia-inspired look.
4. Cozy and Polished: We’re a little in love with Aritzia’s pullovers, and luckily, Amazon has us covered with this elevated quarter-zip pick. It’s made with cozy, ribbed knit fabric that’s soft but still lightweight. Comfy drop shoulders seal the deal.

5. Satin Moment: A satin midi skirt can make even the simplest outfit look instantly more expensive. This high-waisted A-line version has a smooth, shiny finish and a flowy silhouette that moves beautifully as you walk. Pair it with a fitted knit and boots for fall, or keep the styling minimal and let the glossy fabric do all the talking.
I have a confession: I want my weekend wardrobe to suggest that I casually stop by the farmers’ market for fresh flowers and heirloom tomatoes, even when I’m actually running three errands with a kid asking for snacks every six minutes. As a busy mom, I’m always looking for that sweet spot between comfortable enough […]

6. Comfy Cozy: Sweatpants, but fashion girl-approved. These wide-leg sweats have a relaxed, low-rise silhouette that feels much more polished than your standard pair, plus a soft brushed-fleece lining for extra coziness. An internal drawstring lets you adjust the waistband to your liking, and roomy side pockets mean your phone and other small essentials can come along for the ride.
7. Fleece Favorite: The oversized hoodie is practically a uniform for chill days, and this one leans into the look with a roomy fit and dropped shoulders. It’s made from a 50/50 cotton-polyester blend with a plush fleece interior that feels wonderfully soft and warm. Throw it over leggings for errands or pair it with wide-leg trousers for an elevated take on casual dressing.
8. Polished Palazzo: These high-waisted wide-leg pants have the kind of easy, tailored shape that can instantly make an outfit look more put-together. Front pleats create a flattering drape through the legs, while the stretchy elasticized back waistband adds a welcome dose of comfort. They’d look equally chic with a fitted bodysuit, chunky sweater or crisp button-down.
9. Mock-Neck Must-Have: For those days when you want the comfort of a sweatshirt with a slightly more elevated finish, meet your new go-to. This oversized mock-neck style has dropped shoulders, side slits and a clean, double-lined construction that gives the relaxed silhouette some polish. The brushed fleece interior keeps it warm and cozy, and two deep side pockets are a very welcome bonus.

10. Cropped Cardigan: This cropped cardigan is one of those deceptively simple pieces that can completely transform an outfit. It’s a cozy wool-blend knit with a rounded neckline, button-front closure and wide half sleeves for a chic, slightly slouchy shape. Wear it buttoned with high-rise denim or leave a few buttons undone over a fitted tank for an easy layered look.
11. Cardigan, But Cozier: Think of this rib-knit cardigan as the sweet spot between a sweater and a lightweight jacket. Its zip-up front, hood and drop-shoulder silhouette give it a relaxed, sporty feel, and the soft ribbed fabrication keeps the look cozy. It’s an easy layer to throw on over leggings, denim or a simple tank when there’s a chill in the air.
12. Henley Upgrade: A few snap buttons can make a basic pullover feel surprisingly elevated. This oversized Henley features a functional snap-button collar, quilted detailing around the neckline and placket, plus ribbed cuffs and hem for a little extra definition. The cotton-polyester fabric is lightweight, soft and breathable, making this an easy grab-and-go layer for crisp fall days.
13. Pretty in Ruffles: The tiniest details can make the biggest difference, and these ruffle socks are proof. Each ankle sock features a frilly turn-cuff trim that adds a playful little peek above boots or sneakers. They’re made from a stretchy cotton blend for comfort. The six-pack offers an easy way to bring a little personality to your everyday fall outfits without committing to a whole new wardrobe.

14. Scalloped Sweetheart: This ribbed knit tank proves a wardrobe basic doesn’t have to be boring. The slim-fitting silhouette is designed to hug the body for a flattering shape, while the scalloped trim adds a feminine finishing touch around the edges. Wear it solo during warmer days or layer it beneath cardigans, blazers and jackets once fall really gets going — it’d be adorable under overalls, too.
15. Cropped & Classic: A classic trench coat gets a fresh, modern makeover, thanks to the cropped silhouette. It has all the details you’d expect — a double-breasted front, lapel collar and welt pockets — with a shorter length that’s so chic. The smooth, structured fabric keeps its polished appearance without sacrificing the lightweight comfort of a casual jacket.
16. Golden Buttons: Gold buttons have a way of making a cozy cardigan look more luxe instantly, and this striped knit style takes full advantage. The classic crew neckline, long sleeves and button-front design give it plenty of versatility. Not feeling the stripes? It also comes in solid shades, including a rich chocolate brown that’s practically made for autumn.
17. Teddy Time: This is the kind of jacket you’ll want to wear the second the temperature dips. Made with fluffy teddy fleece, the slouchy pullover has a cozy half-zip closure and a zip-up collar that lets you adjust your coverage when the weather changes. Zippered pockets keep your essentials secure, making this plush layer as practical as it is cute for weekend errands and outdoor adventures.

More On Cheating Allegations Against Joey Bada$$
As The Shade Room previously reported, in June 2025, Joey Bada$$ and Serayah revealed that they had welcomed their bundle of joy. From then, up until earlier this year, Serayah had seemingly kept the child’s face off-camera.
However, an apparent rift between Serayah and Joey Bada$$ may have prompted a change of heart. As The Shade Room previously reported, in August, Serayah took to Instagram to allege that Joey “repeatedly” cheated on her throughout their relationship — some incidents allegedly occurring during her most “vulnerable” and “meaningful” milestones.
Additionally, Serayah shared audio of Joey speaking to another woman about her.
In the weeks that followed, Serayah was supported by friends while fans slid in her ex Jacob Latimore’s comments, telling him to spin the block. Most recently, Serayah was spotted out and shared an update with TMZ on where she and Joey now stand. Ultimately, she explained that they’re “doing great,” while TMZ added that her rep says she and Joey only communicate about coparenting and she returned her engagement ring to him.
Selena Gomez is sharing her hopes of one day becoming a mom.
The Only Murders in the Building star, 34, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday, September 7, to share a sweet photo of her spending time with a newborn baby. She wrote over the image, “One day.”
Gomez is married to music producer Benny Blanco, whom she wed in September 2025. The couple got engaged in December the previous year.
The actress and singer has previously expressed her desire to one day become a mom.
Selena Gomez isn’t letting her mental health struggles derail her plans to become a mom in the future — but they have shifted her mindset. “That’s a very big, big, present thing in my life,” Gomez told Rolling Stone in November 2022 while discussing her bipolar disorder diagnosis. “However, I’m meant to have them, I […]
“I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s life in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while,” she said. (Gomez has previously opened up about her struggles with the chronic autoimmune disease lupus.)

Gomez said at the time that she thought she would become a parent “the way it happens for everyone,” but after accepting that she can’t carry her own children, she is “in a much better place” now.
“I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me,” the “Good for You” singer said. “It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I’m one of those people. I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different. At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
In 2022, Gomez, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2018, shared how her medication for the condition may impact her plans to start a family.
“That’s a very big, big, present thing in my life,” she told Rolling Stone at the time. “However I’m meant to have them, I will. … I think there’s something over me that is maybe my bipolar that kind of just keeps me humble — in a dark way.”

“I love kids; I love being an uncle,” he said in a June 2025 interview with InStyle. “I want to be a dad, though, God willing. I’m just dreaming and praying every day.”

In the same interview, Blanco gushed about first meeting Gomez as a teenager, when she was about to sign her first record deal, and how their relationship later blossomed.
“We didn’t work together until many years later. They say you’ve probably already met the person that you’re gonna spend the rest of your life with… I never believed that s*** until it happened to me,” he said. “And now I get to kiss her. It’s like my own little fairytale I concocted.”
