In the middle of her “No Secrets Tour,” Jessie J faced an accident that nearly resulted in a serious injury.

The “Price Tag” singer, who was performing in Hangzhou, China, revealed in a recent post that the stop came with unexpected challenges.

The Grammy-nominated artist kicked off her tour in early 2026, marking her long-awaited return to the stage after a difficult period facing breast cancer. 

Jessie J Reveals Broken Neck Scare While on Tour 

Over the weekend, Jessie shared behind-the-scenes footage from her China stop, including an emergency hospital trip.

The Instagram Reel opened up showing the singer about to enter the back of a black minivan. She could be heard saying to her team, “I don’t mind squashing in the back,” moments before stooping to enter and accidentally bumping her head on the car’s roof.

The video transitioned to her undergoing an MRI scan, and in the next clip, she is seen at her show rehearsals, explaining the pain she felt. “Yeah, I just can’t move my head,” she said. “I’m alright, I’ll just have to take some painkillers and march right through it. I just want to kind of run down the show.”

In a later part, she added, “I thought I broke my neck, but I haven’t. But I have really hurt my neck and my back. Don’t say it.” The video also featured sweet moments when her two-year-old son Sky Safir called her “beautiful” in her stage outfit.

In the post’s caption, the singer joked, “Hit my head; I should of [sic] minded squashing in the back.”

Jessie J Got Real With Her Fans About Cancer Fight 

The broken neck scare comes amid the singer’s battle with breast cancer, which she was diagnosed with last June. Since then, Jessie J has been candid about her journey, opening up to fans during a tour stop at Irving Plaza in New York City earlier in January. 

The 37-year-old British-born artist reflected on how difficult the past year was, but it ultimately changed how she saw things. She went ahead to poke fun at her predicament and complained that people don’t often get her cancer jokes.

When asked how she’s doing, Jessie reassured fans, saying, “I’m alive. I am so good,” before being a beacon of hope for others. “For anyone here that has been through cancer or is going through it or may go through it, hold on. Hold the f-ck on,” Jessie J encouraged, per The Blast.

Jessie J Revealed She Had No Cancer Spread 

Before hitting the road for her tour, the singer had shared some good news about the state of her condition, which left her emotional. 

As The Blast reported, back in July, the mom of one disclosed her surgery was successful, and there was no cancer spread. 

She added a heartwarming clip of her son comforting her the night before her procedure, telling her that she was going to be fine. The proud mom went on to call him the source of her strength. 

The Surprising Reason Jessie J Broke Royal Protocol To Hug Kate Middleton 

While navigating her own health challenges, Jessie J understands firsthand how exhausting the journey can be and leaned into empathy in an interaction with Kate Middleton. 

During her Royal Variety Performance in December, Jessie J broke royal protocol to embrace Middleton, who has also faced cancer.

After the brief exchange, Jessie explained her decision, admitting she was guided by empathy despite being advised not to make physical contact with the royal.

The “Flashlight” singer noted that she asked Middleton’s permission before the hug, emphasizing that at that moment, titles didn’t matter; it was simply about human connection.

“I just said [to her], ‘It’s inspiring. And I just…I know the days that she has maybe gone through, and I just wanted to give her a hug, mom to mom, human to human,” the singer said, according to The Blast.

Jessie J Debunked Pregnancy Rumors 

Meanwhile, as Jessie J takes to the stage, she has drawn speculation that she may be expecting baby number two, which she quickly addressed. 

According to The Blast, she suggested that the rumors may have started after she wore a white lace catsuit that accentuated her curves. Jessie then clarified that her stomach is completely natural, noting it has remained since giving birth to her son.

She also explained that the look was further influenced by normal body changes, as it coincided with the final day of her cycle.

The former “The Voice UK” judge concluded her post with a powerful reminder about body image. “Women can have bellies and NOT be pregnant,” she wrote.

Jenna Dewan is opening up about the way her kids are already dabbling in artistic pursuits.

Dewan, 45, got candid about her three children during a Monday, March 22, episode of the “Chicks in the Office” podcast. She shared that Everly, 12, whom she shares with ex-husband Channing Tatum, has been into cheerleading as well as Irish step dancing.

“She has something, for sure,” Dewan gushed. “She’s really strong. Her leaps and kicks, I mean, she’s [great].”

Dewan’s son, Callum, 6, has been experimenting with hip-hop dancing. She shares Callum and daughter Rhiannon, 21 months, with fiancé Steve Kazee.

“Callum, funny enough, he took a hip-hop [class], and he did not look like he was getting any of it,” she said with a laugh. “And then we showed up to the recital and [he] freaking nailed it.”

Dewan added that Rhiannon, whom she welcomed with Kazee, 50, in June 2024, might be more into singing than dancing.

“My youngest — she seems to be yelling at us all day, and she sings a lot and she’s got a very loud voice,” Dewan explained. “So maybe she’ll get Steve’s singing voice.”

Dewan also shared that her kids are aware their parents are famous, but Everly is learning more about her and Tatum’s careers as she grows up.

“Evie has known it, but it’s more apparent as she’s gotten older because people say things to her,” Dewan said, noting that Everly wants to rewatch Step Up. “She knows her mom’s a dancer, her dad’s a dancer. She still thinks it’s very cool.”

Dewan previously said that she and Kazee already feel “very married” despite not having walked down the aisle yet.

“We often laugh, saying, ‘We already are,’” Dewan told E! News of their long engagement in December 2025. “But [the wedding is] going to be a spiritual and intentional moment for our friends and family.”

Dewan and Kazee confirmed their relationship in October 2018 and got engaged in February 2020.

She was previously married to Tatum for nearly nine years. The twosome met on the set of Step Up in 2006 while playing love interests in the movie and began dating after production.

Two years later, Tatum, 45, proposed, and the duo tied the knot in 2009. Dewan later filed for divorce in 2018 after the pair announced their split in a joint statement. Their divorce was finalized in 2024.

Even among horror fans, the Terrifier films aren’t for everyone. Many haters consider these films nothing more than “torture porn,” but that’s not entirely fair. Does Art the Clown torture and kill his victims in the most graphic and grotesque ways? Absolutely. But he does so in service of every horror movie’s ultimate goal: scaring the pants off everyone watching. After the first two films in the series, it’s fair to say that Art has established himself as the most famous modern slasher, one who is now nearly as legendary as vintage killers like Freddy Krueger and Ghostface.

Now, the third film is streaming for free, giving you a chance to catch up on Art the Clown’s latest mutilated misadventures. The second movie was a fright fest of epic ambitions, one that established this clown as a supernatural threat scary enough to make Pennywise wet his pantaloons. Terrifier 3 delivers Art’s scariest story yet, one that will leave you on the edge of your seat while changing up everything you thought you knew about this clown. If you’re ready to give yourself nightmares and wake the apartment up screaming, then it’s time to grab that remote and stream Terrifier 3 (2024) for free on Tubi.

Christmas Comes Early

The premise of Terrifier 3 is that Art the Clown survived his decapitation from the previous film, and once he gets his head together (quite literally), he sets his sights on revenge. Five years later, he returns to terrorize Sienna, the heroine from Terrifier 2, who seemingly put this killer clown down for good. Sienna, her brother, and her new foster family are all fair game for Art’s wrath. But now that he’s angrier than ever before, it looks like he may turn the entire town into a mass graveyard while enacting vengeance, one cut at a time.

Like other films in the franchise, Terrifier 3 doesn’t have many big names; in fact, the most famous people in the movie are Clint Howard, Chris Jericho, and Tom Savini, all of whom have very basic cameos. We also get two of the surviving protagonists from the last film, played quite capably by horror veterans Lauren LaVera and Elliott Fullam. As usual, the best performance comes from David Howard Thornton, who has almost singlehandedly transformed Art the Clown into the scariest movie monster of the modern age. His every movement drips with malicious glee, and the way he stalks his victims is very nearly as frightening as the brutal ways that he finishes them off.

The Ultimate Low-Budget Terror

It’s only fitting that Terrifier 3 is set during the holiday season, because this movie is all about red and green. Art the Clown took care of the red, delivering buckets of blood through one creepy kill after another. Meanwhile, audiences took care of the green: against a modest budget of $2 million, Terrifier 3 earned $90.3 million. Soon after its violent debut, director Damien Leone confirmed that we will be getting a fourth and final Terrifier film. Only time will tell if Art the Clown (unlike fellow slasher icon Jason Voorhees) will stay dead after his fourth box office outing.

Reviewers decided that the third time was the charm (or perhaps that should be “the harm”) for Art the Clown. On Rotten Tomatoes, Terrifier 3 has a 78 percent. Critics generally praised the movie for upping the franchise’s famous gore ante and delivering even more over-the-top kills (seriously, that shower scene will haunt you). They also praised the movie for joining the ranks of films like Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 to become one of the rarest kinds of genre films: a hilariously solid Christmas horror movie.

The Slasher, Reborn

How much you enjoy Terrifier 3 will depend greatly on what you want out of a horror film. In terms of plot, there’s arguably far less than what we got in Terrifier 2, which tried to transform the meat-and-potatoes Art the Clown slasher into a supernatural villain of mythic proportions. Comparatively, the third film is very streamlined, taking the franchise back to its simplistic slasher roots. But you are likely to be completely lost if you watch this movie first, making it a terrible choice for first-time fans hoping to discover a (ahem) work of Art.

If you like old-school slashers like Friday the 13th, however, you’ll likely be in hog heaven with Terrifier 3. The movie has all the essential elements needed for such a film: an iconic killer, likeable victims, and memorable kills. It’s a no-filler, all-killer (in more ways than one) approach to horror filmmaking, and it works particularly well here. Even if you don’t typically go for the so-called “gore porn” films, Terrifier 3 is head and bloody shoulders over most scary movies.

The Future Of Terror Is Here

That mostly comes down to the film’s putrid practical effects. In an age where CGI dominates everything, Terrifier 3 mines most of its thrills and chills from a place of more grounded terror. Supernatural shenanigans aside, it’s easy to imagine that anyone could don Art the Clown’s creepy makeup and begin terrorizing the town. His violent exploits are brought to life by more of the franchise’s signature effects, all of which prove that “less is more” when it comes to bringing death to life onscreen.

Are you ready to hire the world’s scariest clown for your very own party? The good news is that Art delivers unforgettable work, and he will show you things that you’ll remember for the rest of your life (however short that might be). He works for cheap, too: to see what the bloody hype is about, stream Terrifier 3 for free on Tubi!

Falling asleep warm. Waking up tangled in sheets. Morning arriving before your body feels ready. For many people, this isn’t occasional; it’s routine.

Traditional sheets, especially those made from dense or lower-quality materials, tend to hold onto heat. They can also trap moisture and create an environment where odors build up more quickly between washes. Even if your mattress and pillows are high quality, the wrong sheets can quietly undermine everything else.

Many people assume disrupted sleep is just part of a busy life. But sometimes, the issue isn’t stress or screen time, it’s what you’re sleeping on every night.

If “good enough” sleep has quietly become the standard, this may be the moment to expect more from your sheets.

Why you wake up tired, even after 7 to 8 hours

Most people assume poor sleep comes from stress, too much screen time, or just getting older.

But sleep researchers point to a quieter, more physical trigger: micro-overheating.

Your body naturally cools down at night, the biological signal that keeps you asleep.

When heat builds up around your skin, your brain shifts you into lighter sleep to protect you. Sometimes you wake up fully. Sometimes you don’t remember waking at all.

But your nervous system does.

That’s why you might:

• Kick off blankets
• Flip pillows in search of the cool side
• Stick a leg out to regulate temperature
• Sleep a full night, but still feel unrefreshed

It’s often not insomnia. It’s heat disruption that your body is fighting all night. And when your body keeps shifting into lighter sleep to cool itself down, you never reach the deeper stages that leave you restored.

In controlled lab testing, Miracle Made’s Extra Lux sheets were shown to help reduce surface temperature by up to 2-3°C during use

Because even a $3,000 mattress can’t override fabric that traps heat against your skin.

Where the heat is really coming from

Not all “cooling” sheets feel the same once the night settles in. Many fabrics feel cool for a moment when you first lie down, then slowly trap warmth as your body heats them up. Most sheets do not just sit on your mattress. They sit against your skin, and some materials hold onto heat longer than you realize.

This feels different.

When you slide into bed, the fabric feels balanced against your skin. Not cold or stuffy, but comfortably neutral. As the night goes on, it keeps that same steady feel instead of slowly warming up around you.

The difference comes down to what the sheets are made from.

Miracle Made weaves silver-infused fibers directly into the fabric. Silver naturally helps reduce odor-causing bacteria, which means the sheets stay fresher between washes. The result is bedding that keeps that just-washed feeling longer without relying on sprays or constant laundry.

The smaller details matter too.

Fitted sheets with deeper corners help them stay in place through the night. Instead of waking up at 3 AM to a sheet that has slipped loose, the bed stays smooth and secure.

Recently, Miracle Made has been gaining attention among hot sleepers and wellness-focused shoppers who are rethinking their sleep setup. It is trending with people looking for bedding that combines everyday comfort with practical hygiene benefits.

For many, it has quietly become one of the simplest upgrades they have made to their nightly routine.

A smart upgrade that pays off every night

Many buyers don’t actually describe the sheets as “cooling.” They describe them as non-noticeable.

They stop thinking about temperature altogether.

There’s no initial cold shock.
No slow heat buildup after 15 minutes.
No waking up to adjust blankets.

Because the best sleep environment isn’t one you constantly react to. It fades into the background.

That matters more than people realize. Studies show that even small increases in skin temperature can shift the body out of deeper sleep cycles. When your sleep surface stays balanced, your body has an easier time remaining in those restorative stages of rest.

Sleep quality starts with the environment

Sleep quality is often treated as a discipline problem. But research increasingly shows that thermal comfort and fabric hygiene are just as crucial to truly restorative rest.

Miracle Made focuses on optimizing the sleep environment itself. Not by “training” your sleep, but by keeping temperature balanced and fabric fresh night after night.

For anyone who suspects their mid-night wake-ups or restless nights are mechanical rather than behavioral, it’s worth taking a closer look at the sheets themselves.

Miracle Made is currently offering 46% off, plus 3 complimentary towels. A rare promotion for a product that typically sells out in popular sizes.

If you’re waking up tired in a perfectly cool room, the problem may not be your schedule; it may be your sheets.

Beyond the Gates weekly spoilers for March 23rd through the 27th reveal Anita Dupree‘s (Tamara Tunie) death demand and a major new character unveiled that we’ve all been waiting on.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers Monday, March 23rd: Anita’s Health Takes a Turn

On Monday, March 23rd, it’s season two, episode 54 of BTG, and we have Anita’s side effects get drastically worse, and she is going to wind up admitted to the hospital this week. Her overall health condition seems to be worse. I don’t know if it’s specifically the cancer is worse or just the side effects are just too taxing on her body. And Vernon Dupree‘s (Clifton Davis) wife gets really despondent about what’s ahead.

Bradley “Smitty” Smith (Mike Manning)  gets an urgent call from someone over at the hospital and I think it’s going to be Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) related to this whole Grayson Perez (Jordi Vilasuso) issue. So this week Smitty’s talking to Jacob and says, “Listen to me. We made this deal that if things get out of hand, if things get dangerous, then we would pull the plug.” And then Smitty tells Jacob, “Look, it is dangerous.”

BTG Spoilers: Bill Spells Everything Out

Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) have a heart-to-heart, and I’m interested to see if Anita told Dani that she had a meaningful chat with Bill, or maybe Vernon mentioned it. I’m sure that Bill’s going to admit that he’s heartbroken over Anita’s cancer.

But of course, we know that Hayley Lawson Hamilton (Marquita Goings) hates when Bill gets closer to anybody but her and especially the Duprees. Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) comforts Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) in her time of need. She is still really distraught over Deanna McBride’s (Angela Fairley) attitude.

And Vanessa tells Joey that sometimes she wonders if this is a dream you wake up from right when it gets good. And Joey tells Vanessa, “Let’s find out.” I think he is falling hard. But of course, he’s sitting on that big secret that he offed her hubby. And I’m assuming that’s a deal breaker.

Tuesday, March 24th on Beyond the Gates: Anita Wants a DNR

Tuesday, March 24th, it’s season 2, episode 55 of Beyond the Gates. And Anita tells Vernon she doesn’t want to keep fighting and she wants a DNR. If you don’t know the acronym, that is a do not resuscitate order. That means if you flatline, no paddles, no CPR, they just let you expire.

Grayson has to deliver a message that is dangerous. And I wonder if it’s to Jacob or somebody else. You know, his boss at the hospital, the chief Lia Whitmore (Cecelia Specht) to me seems like she’s clearly overseeing the plasma ring, and I kind of suspect she’s doing it in conjunction with Joey, and she’s not going to let anything get in the way. This woman is a monster.

Katherine “Kat” Richardson (Colby Nixon) is devastated, and Tomas Navarro (Alex Alegria) is there for her. So, Kat might have been on hand when Anita collapsed and took the downturn that is going to send her to Garland Memorial this week. And Kat is obviously going to be very worried about Anita and the DNR since she has been helping Vernon with caretaking her grandma.

BTG Spoilers: Vernon Delivers Bad News

Dr. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) and Dani get really, really bad news from Vernon. And of course, it’s about Anita and the DNR. Vernon doesn’t want it. He wants her to keep fighting, but he tells Dani and Nicole that he has never been able to stop Anita from what she wants a day in their lives.

And ultimately, it is her choice. But the family may all raise their objections to her stopping the fight so soon. But chemo is a beast if you’ve been through it yourself or if you’ve had a loved one go through it. It is truly terrible and unfortunately the frontline treatment for these diseases.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers Wednesday, March 25th: Bill Reconsiders His Future with Haley

Wednesday, March 25th on Beyond the Gates, it’s season 2, episode 56. So, an unlikely person offers Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) some advice. And it’d be interesting if it were Carlton Fitzgerald (Robert Christopher Riley) since they’ve been on the outs because he went chasing after Nicole like 2 seconds after she and Ted broke up.

I think Dr. Kyle Rollins (Greg Vaughan) would also be an odd choice since he is also seeing Nicole. The weirdest person to give any advice to Ted, of course, would be Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann) because she is bat crap crazy and I can’t see her giving good advice to anybody.

Hayley is stunned when Bill tells her that he is reconsidering their future. He’s rethinking things. So, I wonder if that recent life and death conversation with Anita has Bill thinking maybe he doesn’t want any more kids or, you know, it may be the after effects of his chat with Dani. But Hayley is about to see everything go slipping through her fingers and I am here for it.

BTG Spoilers: The Duprees Show Support for Anita

The Dupree family is there to surround and support Anita and shelter her with their love. And of course, we know that Vernon and Dani and Nicole don’t want the DNR, but in the end, it is Anita’s choice, not the choice of anybody else in the family.

Lynette Wise (Dominique Madison) is pleased when things go her way. That may be her with Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry), or it may be that her charges are officially dropped. You know, you think Hayley’s the worst thing on BTG. And then Lynette says, “Hold my beer.” Also this week, we have got Hayley and Tomas arguing over Lynette.

Thursday, March 26th on Beyond the Gates: Isaiah’s Mom Darlene Debuts

Thursday, March 26 is season 2, episode 57 of Beyond the Gates. And Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) has some uplifting news to give somebody. And I wonder if Grayson’s mom got into Dr. Madison Montgomery’s (Kenjah McNeil) Parkinson’s medication trial. And of course, just because you’re in a clinical trial doesn’t mean you get the protocol because a lot of people have to get the placebo, which is a big fat nothing, and that’s got to be scary.

Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe) talks to his mom and has to stand up for Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle). This is the new character that I mentioned at the top of the video. So, we are finally going to get to lay eyes on Izaiah and Jacob’s mom.

This is going to be Elon Hawthorne’s (Malachi Malik) wife. Her name is Darlene Hawthorne. We have not seen her before, but as of when I tape this, they still haven’t said who’s going to be playing the role. I’m very excited. And because they haven’t leaked out who it’s going to be, I wonder if it’s going to be somebody big that we’re all going to be like, “Ooh, I can’t believe they got her.” Something like that.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Jacob Wants Information

Meanwhile, Jacob tries to get critical information from Grayson. If you remember, the cops are after the big fish, the top bosses of the plasma ring. Grayson’s basically just a grunt. Wouldn’t it be wild if she was also his ex-wife who cheated on him? I hope not, but that’d be an interesting twist.

Bill is asked for something stunning. And Leslie chews out Vernon. No doubt, about the construction being stopped on her house. I don’t like Leslie’s taste, but I have to say I wouldn’t mind having a statue of David with Idris Elba’s face like she was planning. He is one of my favorite all-time actors. So gorgeous. If you haven’t seen him on Luther, he is everything. And if you loved Idris in Luther, he’s making a follow-up movie for Netflix.

Ted and Kat reach an understanding on Thursday. And it may be about her ongoing hatred for her sister, Eva. I’m sure that he understands Kat’s hatred for Leslie because Ted’s right there with her. But he’s not down for her hating on her sister. And in fact, most people around Kat keep telling her to stop.

Friday, March 27th on BTG : Vernon Gives His Blessing

Friday, March 27th on Beyond the Gates, we’re going to wrap up the week with season 2, episode 58. Naomi Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) has some things to say to Izaiah. And we’ll see if this is about Jacob because they ran into each other while he was undercover. But Izaiah has no idea his brother’s on a sting operation. He may bring it up to Naomi, who may freak out.

Smitty comforts somebody in the family. Jacob is in an uncomfortable situation. Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t thing. Dani has news for Nicole that takes her by surprise. And Vernon gives his blessing on a matter concerning Bill. That’s kind of huge and it’s kind of unexpected.

Across seven seasons and 74 episodes, Virgin River’s Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) have been through many ups and downs. From personal tragedies and complicated pasts to unexpected twists in their relationship, the pair have consistently found their way back to each other. Although Season 7, which premiered two weeks ago, saw the couple step into a more stable phase of their lives, it wasn’t all rosy as the finale delivered an unexpected twist.

Not to give too much away, the Season 7 finale of Virgin River saw Mel and Jack finally welcome their adopted son into the world. However, he was born with a heart defect, requiring immediate surgery and hinting at a difficult road ahead. Many longtime fans may see this as unfair to the lovebirds who have endured a lot on their road to parenthood — including a stillbirth, multiple miscarriages, and a dramatic IVF process. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith is aware of what he has put these beloved characters through over the years, but he has his reasons, which he voiced in a recent interview, saying:

“With Mel being the nurse that she is, and Jack having the strength that he does, I always felt like a baby that needed extra help was the perfect baby for them. If it was too easy, I don’t think it would be as compelling or unique. We do throw a lot at them, but we also want to see their resilience and their perseverance. That’s what I hope inspires the audience to get through their own lives, because I’ve had plenty of moments where I’m just like, ‘Are you kidding me? Could you throw more at me?’ And then I get one or two more things thrown at me, and you’ve just got to keep going. Mel and Jack have each other, and they can get through anything together.”

Will ‘Virgin River’ Return for Season 8?

All 10 episodes of Virgin River Season 7 premiered on March 12, 2026, and the series was renewed for an eighth season a year earlier. While a premiere date for the upcoming chapter hasn’t been announced, it was previously reported that two major stars won’t be returning. Marco Grazzini, who has portrayed Mike Valenzuela for five seasons of Virgin River, the last four as a series regular, is leaving, much to fans’ disappointment. Lauren Hammersley won’t be back for Season 8 either, after playing Charmaine for the entire seven-season run. Hammersley was a series regular for the first four seasons and recurred thereafter.

All seasons of Virgin River are available on Netflix. Follow Collider for more news.

Last year I decided I hadn’t seen enough Philip Seymour Hoffman movies. The late Academy Award winner has been called one of the greatest actors of his generation, despite usually appearing in supporting roles, rather than bolstering films as the lead. While tracking down films I hadn’t yet seen to cross off my list, I stumbled across Charlie Wilson’s War, which I rented on YouTube. The movie was so eerily prescient that it feels like it was intentionally crafted with today’s politics in mind, so it’s a shame that it isn’t currently streaming on Netflix or any of the major streaming outlets.

Real Life Adapted To Film

Charlie Wilson’s War is a true story biopic about U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson, who worked alongside the CIA to support Afghan mujahideen militants during the Soviet-Afghan War. It’s a topic that I wasn’t especially familiar with before watching the movie, having been born nearly two decades after this real-life conflict began. Still, the narrative felt all too familiar to me, since it showcases something that’s been endlessly repeating in American politics for the last 60 years or so.

Tom Hanks portrays the title character, while Philip Seymour Hoffman takes on the role of CIA operative Gust Avrakotos. At the start of the film, Charlie Wilson is more concerned with partying and hooking up with strippers than doing his actual job. He even incurs the wrath of a young Rudy Giuliani, who opens a federal investigation into Wilson’s misconduct with drugs and alcohol. After meeting with a few Houston socialites in his party circles, Charlie changes his tune and is convinced to take on a crusade to help the Afghan people fight against a Soviet occupation overseas.

Destruction, Not Reconstruction

Throughout the narrative, we see Charlie Wilson fending off the possibility of impeachment, lobbying Congress to send more funds and weapons to the Afghans, and working closely with the CIA to ensure foreign nations such as Israel and Egypt assist in the war effort. I would have thought that a congressman putting in this much work was science fiction if I hadn’t looked it up myself, and he managed to do it all with a massive hangover. Over the course of the film, the CIA’s anti-communism budget balloons to $500 million annually, effectively kicking off the Reagan Doctrine, which spread American influence across nations at risk of undergoing communist revolution.

Towards the end of Charlie Wilson’s War, the Afghans emerge victorious, and American parties intend to pull support for the region once the dust settles. Gust and Charlie work to ensure that the U.S. puts some of its Reagan Doctrine money into rebuilding roads, schools, and hospitals, and not just exploding them, but the American taxpayer wants no part of it. In the end, it seems like a major victory for all anti-communist parties, but America’s failure to aid in reconstruction sets the stage for extremist groups to take hold, directly resulting in the rise of global terrorism and eventually the September 11 attacks in 2001.

Heavy Subject Matter, But Not Without Humor

I won’t get too political here, but I will say that Charlie Wilson’s War is a hard watch given our current political climate. As the U.S. prepares to engage in a boots-on-the-ground war with Iran, aided by Israel, to fight against a Middle Eastern government that only exists due to American meddling in the first place, Charlie Wilson’s War is all too prescient. The movie highlights the ways in which our government, which loves to drop bombs but hates to erect buildings after the rubble is cleared, has been making the same mistakes for decades.

Even still, Charlie Wilson’s War is an excellent watch with an incredible cast and a fascinating story. It’s also surprisingly funny, with a number of well-choreographed fast-paced sequences that feel like they’ve been pulled straight out of Archer. If you’re not up on this period of history, you should absolutely track down this movie and give it a watch. It made nearly $120 million at the global box office on a budget of $75 million and garnered a host of Oscar buzz upon release. Given that Charlie Wilson’s War was so lauded in 2007, it’s a bit of a head scratcher that streaming services don’t seem interested in highlighting it.

As of this writing, Charlie Wilson’s War can be rented or purchased on-demand through YouTube, Apple TV+, Amazon Prime Video, and Fandango at Home.

Top OnlyFans creators are reacting to the death of Leo Radvinsky, the platform’s billionaire owner, who died after a long battle with cancer.

Among them, Sophie Rain shared a heartwarming tribute, stating that the platform changed her financial situation.

Radvinsky, who acquired OnlyFans’ parent company in 2018, played a key role in its growth, allowing creators to earn directly from subscribers and keep a large share of their revenue.

Sophie Rain Honors Late Leo Radvinsky, Credits Him For Life-Changing Success

Top OnlyFans creators are mourning the loss of Leo Radvinsky, the platform’s elusive founder, who passed away Monday after a “long battle with cancer.”

Among those paying tribute is Sophie Rain, one of the site’s top earners, who credited Radvinsky with completely changing her life.

“I don’t even know how to put this into words,” she told the New York Post. “That man built something that changed my entire life. Like, I grew up on food stamps, and now I can take care of my whole family because of a platform he created. I will never forget that.”

Before joining OnlyFans, Rain shared that she worked as a waitress, struggling to pay rent. “That platform gave me everything. And that doesn’t happen without someone building it in the first place,” she added.

Although Rain never met Radvinsky in person, she emphasized that her success is entirely thanks to the platform he created. “Sending so much love to his family. This is really, really sad,” she concluded.

Leo Radvinsky Died After A Cancer Battle Leaving Behind A Billion-Dollar OnlyFans Legacy

A spokesperson for OnlyFans confirmed Radvinsky passed away peacefully following a prolonged battle with cancer, noting that his family has requested privacy.

Known for keeping a low profile, Radvinsky was born in Ukraine and raised in Chicago, later earning a degree in economics from Northwestern University.

He took control of OnlyFans’ parent company, Fenix International, in 2018, stepping in as director and majority owner. Under his leadership, the platform transformed the adult content industry, giving creators a direct way to monetize their work while retaining a significant share of their earnings.

The success of the platform played a major role in building his estimated $4.7 billion fortune. Beyond OnlyFans, Radvinsky was also active as an angel investor and contributed to various philanthropic efforts around the world.

Sophie Rain Says She Has Made $23M This Year, But Refuses To Film With Men Despite Fan Demand

Meanwhile, Rain, who reportedly earned $95 million between 2023 and 2025, continues to dominate the platform. She revealed in an interview with the New York Post that she made around $23 million last year alone.

Still, she has drawn clear boundaries when it comes to her content. Despite frequent requests from subscribers, she says she refuses to film with men, stressing that she “never will.”

“Honestly, I don’t want to do that,” Rain said, noting that her decision is rooted in her personal values as a practicing Christian.

Instead, Rain has carved out a niche with suggestive, non-nude content, describing her style as more “lingerie-bikini level suggestive teasing.”

Interestingly, some of her most popular content is also the simplest. Rain said fans often pay for everyday videos of her doing routine things like getting ready or moving through her day.

She also shared that her earnings aren’t just coming from volume, but from a few extremely generous fans.

One in particular, a subscriber named Charley, has reportedly sent her over $5 million to date, including $4.7 million within just 11 months.

Rain says they communicate almost daily, though she keeps things surface-level. “We pretty much talk almost every single day,” she explained. “But we don’t ever get on a personal level. I don’t know how old he is. I do know that he has a wife, though.”

Not all fan interactions have been positive, however. Rain recalled a frightening incident involving a man who broke into her Airbnb, believing they were married.

The situation escalated to court, where he was reportedly deemed mentally unwell. “That was definitely very scary,” she said.

Looking ahead, Rain is already planning for life beyond OnlyFans. The 22-year-old recently purchased a $2.7 million home in Tampa and hopes to turn the 20-acre property into a farm.

“I want to have a giant farm and just retire and just take care of all my animals. I’m already trying to start building my farm. I have two cows now, but I’m eventually gonna get 10,” Rain stated.
