Bravo recently aired part two of the “Summer House” season 10 reunion. It continued with the cast, including Ciara Miller, confronting Amanda Batula and West Wilson about their now-public affair. During it, Batula walked off, and now Andy Cohen is revealing how long she was absent from the stage.

Cohen took a call from a “Summer House” fan during the June 3 broadcast of his SiriusXM show, “Radio Andy.” During the chat, the person highlighted how entertaining part two of the reunion had been and asked the host how long Batula had been absent from the stage after declaring she needed a break.

The caller noted that it “seemed like a lot of time.” Cohen said, “That’s a good question.” After thinking for a bit, he went on, “At least 15 minutes, but I’m gonna say 20 or more. Yeah.”

Here’s Why Amanda Walked Off The Reunion Stage

Batula was in the hot seat for the majority of the first two parts of the “Summer House” season 10 reunion. During the most recent episode, she could be seen addressing feeling embarrassed about the circumstances surrounding her relationship with Wilson before leaving the stage.

Batula stated, “I felt embarrassed to have to say that I have feelings and have kissed West, and he’s seeing someone else. I felt embarrassed having to say that to Ciara.” After that, “Summer House” newbie Mia Calabrese chimed in, “I mean, yeah, it’s embarrassing.”

This then led Batula to say, tearfully, “I think I need to take a break for a second.” She could then be seen backstage saying she needed to “not be on camera for five minutes.” From there, the cast encouraged Wilson to go after her. Initially, he remained on stage, claiming there might be more he needed to answer to.

However, in the end, he went after Batula. Still, the cast called her out for not taking accountability at the reunion as they had done in prior years.

Fans Are Not On Amanda Batula And West Wilson’s Side

Following Cohen’s commentary about how long Batula was absent from the reunion, “Summer House” fans are weighing in. For the most part, the consensus is that it was weird for Wilson to need to be told to go after Batula. Additionally, many also think the time she needed backstage was a bit excessive.

One person said on X, “Why the F does she get that special treatment? Who else in reunion history has walked off the stage for that long? She did this.” Someone else said, “20 mins doing WHAT? No one has ever done that.”

On TikTok, a different “Summer House” fan noted, “He had not a single desire to go check in on Amanda. That’s wild.” Another social media user stated, “Not Kyle coaching West on how to show up for Amanda.” As fans know, Batula is currently going through a divorce from Kyle Cooke.

Someone else observed, “West not going after Amanda because he doesn’t want anyone to criticize him for leaving as well is really telling. That man wouldn’t put his image second to her feelings. Wild.”

Lastly, a different person highlighted Calabrese’s line delivery, stating, “The tempo in which Mia said ‘I mean yeah it’s embarrassing’ scratched an itch in my brain.”

Andy Cohen Recently Discussed His Process For The Reunion

As Bravo fans know, Cohen hosts all the reunions for the network’s several shows. Recently, in an interview with Vulture, he opened up not only about the “Summer House” season 10 reunion but also about how he prepares for hosting.

He stated about “Summer House”, “Everything will be discussed. Actually, you’re making me think maybe this will be our first three-part ‘Summer House’ reunion. We’ve never had one.”

Cohen continued, “The prep I do is organic. For ‘Summer House,’ I know what the fans are saying. The reunion is going to be about letting everyone speak their peace.”

He then added more detail, explaining, “We do a call with the producers who say, ‘The new thing you don’t know is that so-and-so is getting divorced and they’re mad at whoever.’ Those reunions kind of write themselves.”

‘Summer House’ Will Return For Season 11

Season 10 is perhaps the most talked-about in the history of “Summer House.” Of course, this is partly due to the love triangle among Wilson, Batula, and Miller. According to TV Insider, NBCUniversal announced at its May 2026 upfronts that the series will return for an 11th season.

Currently, it’s unknown who may return, but the cast typically begins filming in July.

With Amazon MGM betting big on both Voltron and Masters of the Universe, the success of these long-dormant franchises could open the door for even more beloved properties from the 1980s and beyond to make the jump back to live action.

If audiences embrace Henry Cavill’s Voltron and Nicholas Galitzine’s turn as He-Man, Hollywood may finally have proof that there is still demand for large-scale adaptations of classic animated franchises.

Here are three projects that could benefit the most.

ThunderCats

Of all the dormant franchises waiting in the wings, ThunderCats may be the closest to becoming a reality.

Director Adam Wingard, known for Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, remains attached to the project and has repeatedly reassured fans that development is still ongoing. Wingard previously revealed that he and collaborator Simon Barrett were actively working on the screenplay, stating:

“Simon and I are still actively working on the script.”

Wingard has also made it clear that he wants to stay true to the iconic designs fans remember from the original animated series. In an earlier interview, he explained:

“I don’t want to reinvent the way they look.”

With its rich mythology, fantasy setting, and memorable characters like Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, and Panthro, ThunderCatsfeels like a natural next step if audiences prove they are hungry for large-scale fantasy adventures again.

Akira

Few projects have spent more time in development hell than a live-action adaptation of Akira.

The legendary cyberpunk manga and anime has been the subject of Hollywood interest for more than two decades. Most recently, Taika Waititi was attached to direct a live-action version, but the project never moved forward. In 2025, Warner Bros. allowed the rights to lapse, returning them to publisher Kodansha and effectively resetting the project.

The good news for fans is that the story may finally have a new path forward. Reports indicate that multiple producers and studios have expressed interest in acquiring the rights and developing a fresh adaptation.

Set in the futuristic city of Neo-Tokyo, Akira follows biker gang leader Kaneda and his friend Tetsuo after a mysterious government experiment unlocks devastating psychic abilities. The original film remains one of the most influential science fiction stories ever created and could become a major event film if the right creative team finally cracks the code.

Akira

She-Ra

While He-Man is preparing for his big-screen return, his twin sister may not be far behind.

Amazon MGM is actively developing a live-action She-Ra series and recently brought acclaimed writer Heidi Schreckaboard to write the project.

Interest in the character has only grown following the success of Netflix’s animated She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and the timing could be perfect if Masters of the Universe connects with audiences.

In fact, Masters of the Universe director Travis Knight recently hinted that She-Ra could become a major part of the franchise’s future, saying she would play:

“a huge part” in potential sequels.

For those unfamiliar with the mythology, She-Ra, also known as Princess Adora, is the long-lost twin sister of Prince Adam. Her adventures on the world of Etheria have often been just as beloved as He-Man’s battles on Eternia.

She-Ra

The Bottom Line

Hollywood has spent years trying to revive classic animated franchises, but many projects have struggled to get beyond the development stage. If Voltron and Masters of the Universe prove successful, that could finally change.

Whether it’s Adam Wingard’s long-awaited ThunderCats, a fresh take on Akira, or Amazon’s developing She-Ra series, the next wave of nostalgic franchise adaptations may already be waiting in the shadows.

Jennifer Lopez is so proud of the giant strides her teenage twins Emme and Max are making in life, as she revealed they got into all five colleges they applied for with scholarships.

The singer previously revealed that she has been moved to tears as they prepare to leave her with an empty nest to pursue their freshman college year.

Emme appears to have debuted a new name as well as their preferred college destination in a compilation of graduating seniors from L.A.’s Windward School, where they graduated.

Jennifer Lopez may be an international pop star, acclaimed actress, and seasoned entrepreneur, but one title she remains mostly proud of is mom to her twins Emme and Max, whom she shares with Marc Anthony.

In a recent chat with Extra, the “Maid In Manhattan” star was ecstatic as she revealed that both of her children were accepted into every single one of the five universities they applied to.

They didn’t stop there, as every acceptance came with merit-based scholarship offers, making the singer beam with pride.

“I am so proud that they set goals for themselves,” she said, per People Magazine. “They all got into all five colleges that they applied to. They both got a scholarship to each, you know, one scholarship to each. Each one got a scholarship to a school. And I just felt like they work so hard.”

The Twins Achieved The Feat Despite Battling ADHD

What seemingly touched Lopez the most is how much work they put into achieving the record despite battling ADHD and constantly being in the public eye due to their mom’s superstar status.

“I watched how hard they worked, from the time they were like… when school gets serious in the fifth grade, and they just worked hard,” she continued. “They have ADHD, and so they need to learn differently, and there were struggles and times, and I’m just so proud of them because they did what they said they were going to do, and they’re good people.”

The “Office Romance” star went further to gush over the 18-year-olds, saying they’re “loving, good-hearted people.”

“And they always said that. I always say to them, ‘What do I say?’ And they say, ‘Doesn’t matter if we get good grades so long as we’re good people.’ And I was like, ‘That’s right.’ And they still sometimes will quote that back to me. So I’m very proud of both of them,” she added.

Jennifer Lopez Reveals How She’s Been Help Them Prepare For College

As the twins prepare to head off to college, Lopez opened up about the supportive role she has been playing during a May 27 appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!“

She told host Jimmy Kimmel that she’ll “absolutely” be a major presence in their transition to dorm life and has been helping them arrange their stuff.

“I do all the things,” she said. “We have sheets at the house. We’re gonna pack up their rooms here, and they’re going to take all the things that they want to take to their dorms.”

However, she stated her desire for them not to stay away for too long and wished they could come home almost immediately after they hit campus.

“Then, they’re gonna get there and realize their dorms are too small,” she stated. “They’re going to miss home, I hope and want to come back real soon. That’s my plan.”

Emme Could Be Going To New York

While she’ll have to learn to make do with an empty nest, Lopez is excited for her children’s new chapter as she reminisces about being their age and also experiencing their new reality.

“I remember being that age and thinking I couldn’t wait to get out in the world and do my thing,” she explained. “I really wanted that. All year, people are asking me, ‘Oh, they’re going away to college, it’s going to be terrible.’ No, it’s going to be great. I want them to go out there and do what they want to do. They have dreams. They have things they want to do. It’s going to be great.”

Meanwhile, Lopez’s child, born Emme Muñiz, seems to have debuted a new name as well as revealed their preferred college choice.

According to Page Six, a now-deleted Instagram post from an account dedicated to compiling college decisions of graduating seniors from L.A.’s Windward School, where Emme graduated from, identified a student as “Oskar Muñiz.”

More About Jennifer Lopez’s Teen Child’s New Identity

The post, which drew attention to Emme’s new identity, also featured childhood photos of the teenager, a logo for Sarah Lawrence College, and the teenager’s plans to study theater and studio arts there.

“Oskar to Sarah Lawrence!” Windward26College captioned the post about Emme. “No more impromptu NYC trips because he’ll be living there! Good thing it’s only a few hours away from Stagedoor. Go gryphons!! Congrats!!!”

As reported by The Blast, an account that seems to belong to Lopez’s child was tagged in the caption, with the post about their college receiving a “Like” reaction from Jennifer Garner, who was once married to their former stepdad, Ben Affleck.

Gypsy Rose is in her TikTok era! From GRWM to food-tasting videos, Rose has been feeding her 9.3 million followers plenty of content! Earlier this week, she gagged her supporters after sharing a jokey joke that pulled in over four million views.

Gypsy Rose Jokes About “Playing Crazy” 

The circulating video of Gypsy Rose Blanchard shows her sitting in a bed, delivering an eight-second voiceover. Her caption on the clip reads, “POV: Story of my life.” She’s seen looking into the camera and making hand gestures to match the audio’s energy.

“And everybody wanna play crazy until I wanna play crazy. Soon as I’m ready to play crazy, don’t nobody want to play crazy anymore,” the voiceover says.

This Is Why Gypsy’s Comment Section Is In Shambles

For context, Gypsy accepted a plea deal in 2016 for second-degree murder and got a 10-year sentence. Throughout her childhood, Rose’s mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, falsely claimed that she suffered from multiple diseases, including cancer and developmental disabilities. Dee Dee forced her daughter to use a wheelchair, lie about her age and take unneeded medications and undergo procedures. In 2015, Gypsy and her internet boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn, planned to kill Dee Dee. He later stabbed her with Gypsy present in the home and they both fled, but police later arrested them. Rose was granted parole on December 28, 2023, after serving about 8.5 years of her sentence. Since then, she’s given interviews about her life, including publishing, divorced from Ryan Anderson and married Ken Urker. She and Urker welcomed a daughter name Aurora in late 2024. As of June 2025, her parole has ended, marking the completion of her sentence.

And let’s just say the comment section is in SHAMBLES! While some are laughing at Gypsy Rose’s apparent dark humor. Meanwhile, others are saying she’s the last person they’d want to “play crazy” with, given what happened to Dee Dee Blanchard.

” Ummmmm your crazy is a little too crazy, bestie,” @colonelmustardbiotch wrote.

Nick Pasqual had a small role on How I Met Your Mother before he made headlines for being convicted of attempted murder.

Pasqual was accused of stabbing ex-girlfriend Allie Shehorn multiple times in her home back in May 2024. During the actor’s trial, Shehorn took the stand and claimed that she had broken up with him after their relationship allegedly turned abusive. The makeup artist also claimed that she took out a restraining order against Pasqual prior to the attack.

In May 2026, a jury found Pasqual guilty of attempted murder, first-degree burglary, forcible rape and injuring a spouse, cohabitant, fiancé, boyfriend, girlfriend, or a child’s parent. He was sentenced to 32 years to life in prison. Pasqual told Entertainment Weekly in June 2026 that he planned on filing an appeal.

“I remain deeply saddened by everything surrounding this case, and I continue to wish healing and peace for everyone affected,” Pasqual told the outlet. “I am grateful to those who have supported me during this process, and I intend to remain focused on sobriety, recovery, accountability, and a respectful appellate process moving forward.”

Keep scrolling for everything to know about Pascal:

Nick Pasqual Was on ‘How I Met Your Mother’ Season 7

Before his legal woes, Pasqual was best known for his role on How I Met Your Mother. The actor appeared in one episode during season 7, which aired in 2011. Pasqual played the character Will, a student of Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor), in the episode titled “Field Trip.”

Nick Pasqual Had Additional Acting Roles

In addition to How I Met Your Mother, Pasqual acted in various other projects. His first ever role was in the 2007 short Remember the Days. He made his film debut in the 2009 thriller Homecoming, which starred Mischa Barton, Matt Long and Jessica Stroup.

Pasqual had a starring role in the 2010 series A Demon’s Destiny: The Lone Warrior. His credits also include 1000 Ways to Die, Jobs, Gone, America’s Most Wanted and more. His last role was in the 2023 film Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire.

Nick Pasqual Is Serving Life in Prison for Attempted Murder

After being convicted of the attempted murder of Shehorn, Pasqual was sentenced to 32 years to life in prison. Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman addressed Pasqual’s sentencing in a statement to Us Weekly in May 2026.

“Nick Pasqual’s 32 years to life in prison sentence holds him accountable for the horrific crimes he committed against someone who once loved and trusted him. He was found guilty of multiple felonies, including attempted murder and rape, spanning from January 2024 to May 23, 2024, when Mr. Pasqual broke into his estranged girlfriend’s home and stabbed her over 20 times,” he said. “Allie Shehorn miraculously survived and courageously stood before her abuser in court to testify about the brutality she endured. Her trial testimony was crucial in securing a guilty verdict so Mr. Pasqual could no longer be free to hurt anyone else.”

Hochman continued, “At his sentencing on June 2, she gave a powerful victim impact statement. This case underscores the painful reality that domestic violence thrives when its victims live in fear and stay silent. It can erupt into life-threatening violence, and far too many victims never get the chance to see their abusers brought to justice. I want to recognize and thank Deputy District Attorneys Sam Abourched and Chelsea Blatt for their exceptional diligence, hard work and dedication to justice. Because of prosecutors like them, survivors are heard and accountability is more than a promise, it’s a reality.”

Sydney Sweeney continues to aim for the stars with a new career pivot!

The actress is now adding producer to her growing résumé as her newly launched production company, Honey Trap, lands its first major feature project, and the plans are unfolding.

Sydney Sweeney’s latest business venture comes amid the uproar that trailed her controversial performance on the third season of “Euphoria,” where she explored marriage, online content creation, and many more.

The actress has been signed up to star in and produce a forthcoming adaptation of filmmaker and author Lindsey Anderson Beer’s debut novel, “Hollow.” Beer will also direct and adapt the screenplay for the movie.

The project is a groundbreaking step for Honey Trap since launching their business recently. LuckyChap Entertainment and Beer’s Lab Brew will also be on the production. 

The novel is a competitive acquisition by Penguin Random House under the Putnam imprint. It is a reimagining of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” through the perspective of Katrina Van Tassel.

Katrina is no mere background character, but the focus of a suspenseful narrative that blends gothic elements with a touch of romance and psychological thriller.

The book is now on the fast track and is currently scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2027 in concert with the film’s production schedule, with the adaptation slated to star Sweeney as Katrina.

As stated by Deadline, as the project evolved, industry interest is said to have quickly risen for both the novel and film package, with studios racing to sign on their involvement as the project began to take shape.

More Details About The ‘Euphoria’ Star’s New Company

The actress recently revealed the establishment of her production firm, Honey Trap, on Instagram, announcing the news alongside a screenshot of a Deadline report of the first-look deal with Sony Pictures.

As stated by The Blast, Sweeney also gave followers a closer look at the company’s vision by posting part of its mission statement. 

Honey Trap described its goal as creating stories built around contrasts, exploring themes of beauty and danger, power and vulnerability, while delivering projects that challenge audiences and leave a lasting emotional impact.

The company also reaffirmed its dedication to bold creativity, complex characters, and film storytelling in film and television. Sweeney’s new company was founded alongside her longtime creative collaborator, Kaylee McGregor, who serves as president of production and development.

The company is already on the fast track and working on a couple of projects in partnership with Sony, such as the upcoming remake of “Barbarella”, based on a French comic series written by Jean-Claude Forest.

Sweeney is also a producer on “The Registration,” an adaptation of a novel written by Madison Lawson. In addition to developing her producing career, Sweeney remains active in front of the camera as well and is currently filming in “Gundam” in Australia with director Jim Mickle for Netflix and Legendary Entertainment.

Sydney Sweeney Did Not Hold Back On Her ‘Euphoria’ Character

The Blast previously noted that “Euphoria” creator Sam Levinson straightens up the record on Sweeney’s controversial final-season storyline, and gives credit where credit is due.

The show also followed Sweeney’s character, Cassie, as she uses OnlyFans to fund her lavish lifestyle and dreams of a future with OnlyFans star Jacob Elordi (as Nate Jacobs) throughout the season. 

The narrative was subject to online criticism due to some fans’ doubts about whether the actress had been pushed too much with the more revealing scenes. However, in a recent appearance on The New York Times’ Popcast podcast, Levinson challenged that notion. 

He disclosed that while developing the storyline, he had thought about shooting the scenes with as little nudity as possible or without any nudity at all. However, Sweeney kicked against that proposition, informing Levinson that if he avoided them, it would not make sense for the character to exist in that reality. 

He pointed out that if Cassie is playing a character who is making a career on OnlyFans, the show should go 100% into that fashion and not tone it down. The comments follow Sweeney’s earlier remarks on backlash against the season and her own defense of her work on social media after the season ended.

Sweeney And Sam Levinson Have A Lot Of Trust For Each Other

Levinson and Sweeney have built a formidable relationship over the years since she debuted on “Euphoria” years ago. He has not failed to defend her choices and approach to storyline during the course of production, stressing that Sweeney was willing to commit to challenging material fully.

The filmmaker continued that he takes great pride in working closely with actors and getting to know their headspace before shooting, and in Sweeney’s case, she came to the job with confidence bursting through.

He added that the model was not afraid to look into difficult or unconventional creative ideas, in addition to her risk-taking appetite. Shining a light on Sweeney’s versatility, Levinson added that their bond from 2019 allowed them to explore different directions, whether comedic, intense, or emotional.

As regards the OnlyFans bit of the story, Levinson revealed that the grand purpose of “Euphoria” was to explore some of the strange parts of online culture, and some scenes were created to emit absurdity and dark humor.

It Has Not Been All Wins For Sydney Sweeney

Despite the endless buzz surrounding the actress’s rise in the industry, she actually suffered a major blow when her scene got cut from the finished version of the iconic movie. According to reports, the sequence, said to run for about three minutes, was removed shortly before the film’s release. 

Sources close to production said it was a creative move and reported that they appreciated Sweeney’s involvement in the film despite her scenes being cut.

Later, there were more rumors floating around online about the move, some speculation pointing to renewed interest in the actress’s politics about her allegedly being a registered Republican.

Others who have been close to Sweeney seem to have resisted this line of thinking, with some suggesting that the negative backlash to her public demeanor might have played a role in the interpretation of the decision.

Meanwhile, other reports cited a much more conventional motive: David Frankel’s and the editing team’s dissatisfaction with the fit of the scene into the film’s final form. Some sources have also speculated Sweeney’s rising profile in Hollywood may have been a factor in discussions about the cut.

I was recently blown away by Buffet Infinity (2025), and in order to fully explain why, I have to reveal something about my upbringing. I was born in 1988 and grew up when cable TV was filled with late-night paid programming and low-budget commercials from local businesses. When I was a functional adult and Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were making their rounds, I’d laugh at Saul Goodman’s commercials not only because they were ridiculous, but because I remembered watching those fever-dream productions while dozing off on the couch when I was younger.

I know that Yankee Discount Muffler is the best in town, and I know that J.G. Wentworth can get you cash right now if you need it. When Ron Popeil enthusiastically said, “But wait, there’s more!” I braced myself for impact. I know that Mozzimo’s Pizza “doesn’t have any cows, so they buy their cheese!” As a millennial on the wrong side of his 30s, I sometimes seek out these commercials on YouTube because they’re so bonkers yet so direct.

There’s also a nostalgia factor because, back in the day, advertisements didn’t beat around the bush. These days, you follow a content creator you like, only to learn that their primary goal in life was landing a collab with Chili’s so they can exploit an established parasocial relationship for clicks and dollars.

Buffet Infinity aggressively harkens back to the good old days, when the commercial volume was about 100 decibels louder than whatever program you fell asleep watching. It’s welcoming but jarring, then quickly pivots into surreal and terrifying worldbuilding as an endless block of commercials from a forgotten time begin overlapping, telling you what’s truly at stake.

100 Minutes Of Commercials

If you’re going to watch Buffet Infinity, be sure you’re ready for it, because it’s a lot to take in. We learn about the titular Buffet Infinity restaurant, located at the Crossroads Shopping Complex, which seemingly appeared out of nowhere and offers cut-rate prices for an endless amount of unwholesome gastronomy.

The commercials don’t stop there. In fact, they never stop. Between Buffet Infinity ad spots, we’re introduced to Mosley Rosin & Associates, who deal with emotional trauma and can be reached at 1-800-555-PAIN, Mattress Mattress Surplus, Babbacock Insurance, infomercials for an antidepressant called Xentophylon that take plenty of cheap shots at the people they’re trying to help, Westbridge Automotive Group (complete with a low-budget superhero mascot), and Ahmed’s Pawn Shop.

At first, Buffet Infinity presents itself like a slice of early-aughts nostalgia, but it quickly devolves into an oppressively surreal analog horror experience. Through news bumpers, we learn about a growing sinkhole behind the Crossroads Shopping Complex that everybody seems aware of, yet officials simply tell people to park in the front of the building to avoid it. Buffet Infinity keeps expanding exponentially, which endlessly frustrates Jenny Avery, owner-operator of Jenny’s Sandwiches Inc. She’s something of a local celebrity thanks to her recipe for The Avery Family Secret Sauce (she’s got the sauce!), and she isn’t too fond of the new competition.

A Gradual Escalation You Can’t Escape From

As Jenny passive-aggressively takes shots at Buffet Infinity for making a cheap imitation of her sauce and threatening her livelihood, scores of people begin to go missing, including Jenny herself. Meanwhile, the Buffet Infinity bumpers keep rolling, making fun of how easy the sauce was to replicate and how she claims it’s an Italian recipe even though it’s basically just ketchup. Ahmed desperately tries to keep his pawn shop in business, while the spokesperson for Babbacock Insurance experiences escalations of her own in the form of repeated maimings and even familiacide so she can collect on her various policies.

What starts as a simple series of unrelated commercials quickly turns into a community of business owners in distress. Buffet Infinity now has a play place, serves oysters, and positions itself as a luxury destination, but ceremonial walls are also being erected to honor all the people who have disappeared since the restaurant first appeared. As society continues to fall apart, you’re met with unnervingly intrusive ad spots from the Westbridge Society for Religious Freedom, a death cult of sorts that doesn’t tell you much other than “ITS WATCHING.”

As horrifying as it all is, Buffet Infinity is extremely effective at getting its point across. It’s straight-up brain rot with an early-aughts vibe, and it robs you of gratification every step of the way. Every time somebody is about to reveal something substantial enough to explain what’s truly going on, the film smash-cuts to yet another commercial, and the cycle continues with no relief in sight.

It’s also a stark criticism of consumerism and what happens when there’s clearly a crisis unfolding in your community. It’s the late-night Fox 61 (that was on channel 21) commercials that make absolutely no sense when you’re dozing off, fully aware that you should just turn the TV off. It’s small business owners recognizing that something horribly wrong is happening, but still having to open tomorrow and figure out how to stay operational while some all-knowing, ever-growing evil entity slowly strips their community of its humanity.

Buffet Infinity is surreal, upsetting, and at times downright horrifying. But it does all of the above with a wink and a nod, as if to remind you that this is all just a bad dream. It makes you long for the pre-streaming era, while simultaneously making you grateful that you don’t have to wake up halfway through a three-hour block of paid programming that seems determined to wear down your will and kill you.

As of this writing, Buffet Infinity isn’t available to stream on any of the major platforms, but you can rent or purchase it on demand through YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV+.

Prince Harry’s reported exclusion from cousin Peter Phillips’ upcoming wedding has sparked renewed attention on ongoing tensions within the royal family.

Insiders claim the Duke of Sussex believes Prince William may have influenced the decision, deepening existing divisions between the brothers.

Royal commentators suggest the guest list reflects strained relationships and a desire to avoid overshadowing the ceremony with family drama involving Prince Harry.

Prince Harry will reportedly not be on the guest list for cousin Peter Phillips’ upcoming wedding to Harriet Sperling, with royal insiders suggesting the decision reflects strained family dynamics and long-standing divisions within the royal household.

Royal commentator Emily Nash told Page Six that the exclusion appears to stem from a gradual cooling of relations between Harry and Phillips, noting that the two have reportedly not been in close contact for several years.

She added that Phillips is understood to be particularly close to the Prince of Wales, Prince William, and is highly protective of that relationship.

According to Nash, Phillips has long acted as a steady presence within the wider royal family, even serving as a calming figure during moments of tension, including Prince Philip’s funeral in 2021, when he was positioned between Harry and William.

She suggested that ongoing family disagreements, combined with Harry’s public revelations in his memoir “Spare” and Netflix documentary, may have further deepened the distance.

She also argued that keeping Harry off the guest list may help prevent the wedding from being overshadowed by royal drama, allowing the focus to remain on the couple’s celebration.

Senior Royals Expected At Peter Phillips’ Wedding As Family Dynamics Draw Attention

Senior royals, including William and Princess Kate, are expected to attend the June 6 ceremony, with King Charles also likely to make an appearance.

Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall are also expected, alongside several members of the extended family, in m what Nash described as a more modern and blended royal gathering.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will likely be present at the wedding, marking a notable appearance amid continued scrutiny of their father, Prince Andrew.

Nash suggested their presence could signal that they still hold a place within the wider family, though she emphasized that the event remains a private family occasion rather than an official royal engagement.

“It will kind of show that there is still a place for them within the family,” Nash said of their attendance, adding, “I think it’s going to be fascinating to see how they interact with other members of the family,” she said. However, their mother, Sarah Ferguson, is not expected to attend.

Meghan Markle Prioritizes Business Growth Amid Ongoing Royal Tensions, Says Author

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is reportedly focusing on her own professional direction, with sources saying she is prioritizing her business ventures over ongoing royal-related controversies involving Harry.

Royal author Duncan Larcombe told The Mirror that Meghan is increasingly separating her brand-building efforts from the public narrative surrounding her husband.

His comments come amid renewed reports of Harry’s exclusion from royal events, including Phillips’ upcoming wedding.

Larcombe claimed that Meghan is concentrating on developing her lifestyle brand, As Ever, and shaping a more controlled, aspirational public image.

The author also alleged that the As Ever founder sees public appearances as part of a broader branding strategy, while “determined” and “focused” on carving out an independent path as a businesswoman, aiming to build a career that stands apart from ongoing royal drama.
