While the horror genre has had a marquee year with breakout hits such as Obsession and Backrooms, a previously dependable genre — action — has had a difficult time at the box office. Action movies aimed at older male audiences have struggled, despite the presence of proven stars. One of the year’s first action underperformers was Jason Statham’s Shelter, which grossed $53 million worldwide against a reported budget of $50 million. More recently, Statham’s longtime partner-in-crime, Guy Ritchie, directed In the Grey, which made just $17 million worldwide against a reported budget of $70 million. In the Grey was headlined by Henry Cavilland Jake Gyllenhaal, both of whom have worked with Ritchie previously. However, an even more expensive action film delivered a worse performance at the box office in January.
The movie in question appears to have bounced back after its release on HBO Max, according to the latest Nielsen report. The industry tracker typically posts streaming viewership data a few weeks later, so the latest report covers May 11–17. The action movie in question was headlined by Gerard Butler and released theatrically on January 9, kicking off a rather unfortunate streak for the genre. It ended up grossing $44 million worldwide against a reported budget of $90 million. Coincidentally, the movie was directed by the same filmmaker who made Shelter: Ric Roman Waugh.

Collider Exclusive · Action Hero Quiz Which Action Hero Would Be Your Perfect Partner? Rambo · James Bond · Indiana Jones · John McClane · Ethan Hunt
Five legends. Five completely different ways of getting out alive — with style, with muscle, with charm, with luck, or with a plan so intricate it probably shouldn’t work. Ten questions will reveal which action hero was built to have your back.

🍸James Bond
🏺Indiana Jones

🔧John McClane
🎭Ethan Hunt

01
You’re dropped into a dangerous situation with no warning. What do you need most from a partner? The first few seconds tell you everything about who belongs beside you.
Advertisement
02
You have to get somewhere dangerous, fast. How do you travel? How you get there is half the mission.
Advertisement
03
You’re pinned down and outnumbered. What does your ideal partner do? This is when you find out what someone is really made of.
Advertisement
04
The mission is paused. You have one evening to decompress. What does your partner suggest? Who someone is when the pressure drops is who they actually are.
Advertisement
05
How do you prefer your partner to communicate mid-mission? Good communication is the difference between partners and a liability.
Advertisement
06
Your enemy is powerful, well-resourced, and has the upper hand. How should your partner approach them? The approach to the enemy defines the partnership.
Advertisement
07
Things go badly wrong and you’re captured. What do you trust your partner to do? Who someone is when you need them most is the only thing that matters.
Advertisement
08
What does your ideal partner bring to the table that you couldn’t replace? A great partner fills the gap you didn’t know you had.
Advertisement
09
Every partnership has a cost. Which of these can you live with? No one comes without baggage. The question is whether you can carry it together.
Advertisement
10
It’s the final moment. Everything is on the line. What do you need from your partner right now? The last question is the most honest one.
Advertisement
Your Partner Has Been Assigned Your Perfect Partner Is…
Your answers have pointed to one action hero above all others. This is the person built to have your back — for better or considerably, spectacularly worse.
Advertisement
Rambo
Your partner doesn’t talk much, doesn’t need to, and will have assessed every threat in your immediate environment before you’ve finished your first sentence. John Rambo is not a man of plans or politics — he is a force of nature shaped by survival, loyalty, and a capacity for endurance that goes beyond anything training can produce. He will not leave you behind. He has never left anyone behind who deserved to come home. What you get with Rambo is the most capable, most quietly ferocious partner imaginable — one who has been through things that would have broken anyone else, and who chose to keep going anyway. You’ll never need to ask if he has your back. You’ll just know.
James Bond
Advertisement
Your partner will arrive perfectly dressed, perfectly briefed, and with a cover story so convincing it’ll take you a moment to remember what’s actually true. James Bond is the most professionally dangerous person in any room he enters — and the most disarmingly charming, which is the point. He operates in a world of layers, where nothing is what it appears and every advantage is used without apology. You’ll never be bored. You’ll occasionally be furious. But when it matters — when the mission is genuinely on the line and the margin for error has collapsed to nothing — Bond is exactly the partner you want. He has survived things that have no business being survivable. He does it with style. That is not nothing.
Indiana Jones
Your partner will know the history, the language, the cultural context, and exactly why the thing everyone else is ignoring is actually the most important thing in the room. Indiana Jones is brilliant, reckless, and occasionally impossible — but he is also one of the most resourceful, most genuinely knowledgeable partners you could find yourself beside. He approaches every situation with a scholar’s eye and a brawler’s instinct, which is an unusual combination and a remarkably effective one. He hates snakes and gets personally attached to objects of historical significance, both of which will slow you down at least once. It doesn’t matter. What Indy brings is irreplaceable — and the adventures you’ll have together will be the kind people write books about. Assuming you survive them.
Advertisement
John McClane
Your partner was not supposed to be here. He does not have the right equipment, the right information, or anything approaching the right odds. He has a sarcastic remark and an absolute refusal to accept that the situation is as bad as it looks. John McClane is the greatest accidental hero in the history of action cinema — a man whose superpower is stubbornness, whose contingency plan is improvisation, and whose capacity to absorb punishment and keep moving would be alarming if it weren’t so useful. He will complain the entire time. He will make it significantly more chaotic than it needed to be. And he will absolutely, unconditionally, without question come through when it counts. Yippee-ki-yay.
Advertisement
Ethan Hunt
Your partner has already run seventeen scenarios by the time you’ve finished reading the briefing, and the plan he’s settled on involves at least two things that should be physically impossible. Ethan Hunt operates at the absolute edge of human capability — technically, physically, and intellectually — and he brings the same relentless precision to protecting his partners that he brings to dismantling organisations that shouldn’t exist. He is not easy to know and he will never fully tell you everything. But he will carry the weight of the mission so completely, so absolutely, that your job is simply to trust him — and the remarkable thing is that trusting him always turns out to be the right call. The mission will be impossible. He will complete it anyway.

Gerard Butler Needs a Win
We’re talking, of course, about Greenland 2: Migration. Also featuring Morena Baccarin, the film serves as a sequel to the sci-fi sleeper hit Greenland, which was released in 2020 to moderate box-office success but was incredibly popular on home video platforms. Greenland 2 received mixed reviews and is now sitting at a 48% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The aggregator website’s consensus reads, “The world ends more with a whimper in Greenland 2: Migration compared to its predecessor’s big bang thrills, but Gerard Butler’s sturdy star power keeps this continuation reasonably compelling.” According to the latest Nielsen report, Greenland 2 was among the most-watched movies during the week of May 11 to May 17, and the only HBO Max title in the top 10 with 207 million minutes watched. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Taylor Sheridanis no stranger to the streaming summit. In fact, it would be noticeably strange for a Sheridan series not to be the most-watched at any given time on Paramount+. Right now, the latest project from his ever-expanding Yellowstoneuniverse is topping the charts, as millions tune in to see Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth (Kelly Reilly) face Ranch rivalry in their new life in South Texas. With just two episodes left until the season finale, Dutton Ranch proves once more that the Western genre is a sure-fire route to streaming success.
With most Sheridan projects on Paramount+, rival streamers will have to find their Western success elsewhere. On Netflix, this came in the form of Ransom Canyon, a Texas Hill Country-set series created by April Blair. First released in 2025, Ransom Canyon was an instant hit, debuting at #2 on Netflix’s English-language charts with 56.6 million hours viewed. This success continued to rise in the following weeks, eventually leading to a jaw-dropping 1.12 billion viewing hours earned in its initial release period.
Next month, on July 23, Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly‘s Staten Kirkland and Quinn O’Grady will return in a hotly anticipated second season of Ransom Canyon. Creator Blair has teased what fans can expect in the second season, which will feature a six-month time-jump from Season 1. “Love is at the forefront this season, and it’s really about people fighting for those relationships and fighting to figure out how to be with the person they want to be with,” Blair said, also saying:

“Season 1 was fighting these outside forces that were coming in and threatening a way of life. Season 2 is really about community, rebuilding in the wake of that, and coming together. There’s definitely a lightness and hopefulness in Season 2.”

Four worlds. All of them brutal, complicated, and built on power, loyalty, and the price of survival. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t write heroes — he writes people who do what they have to do and live with the cost. Ten questions will reveal which one of his worlds you were made for.

Someone crosses a line. How do you respond? Every Sheridan protagonist has a line. What matters is what happens after it’s crossed.

04
Where do you feel most in your element? Sheridan’s worlds are as much about place as they are about people.

How do you lead? Authority in Sheridan’s world is never given — it’s established, maintained, and constantly tested.

Someone new arrives and tries to change how things work. Your reaction? Every Sheridan show has an outsider disrupting an established order. Sometimes that outsider is you.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

The Legally Blonde trio walked the red carpet at Hall Des Lumieres in New York City on Saturday, June 20, as part of the Elle World pop-up event to promote Amazon Prime Video’s prequel series Elle, which features newcomer Lexi Minetree as a younger version of Witherspoon’s character Elle Woods.
Witherspoon, 50, Blair, 53 and Coolidge, 64, were joined by their Legally Blonde castmates Ali Larter, Matthew Davis and Victor Garber, along with new Elle stars Minetree, 25, and Elle Woods’ onscreen parents June Diane Raphael and Tom Everett Scott.
As the red carpet event got underway, Witherspoon shared a special moment via her Instagram Story where she got to pose with Minetree. Witherspoon paired a pink satin midi dress with Miss Z pumps while Minetree went for a glittery pink skirt.

“Passing the pink torch and it feels so good,” Witherspoon wrote.
The upcoming Elle series takes place before Woods became a Harvard law student, focusing instead on her high school years in 1990s Seattle. Witherspoon executive produced the prequel comedy series, which will premiere on July 1 on Prime Video.
Witherspoon officially announced the project in May 2024, teasing. “I had this crazy idea that the world might want to know the origin story of Elle Woods. So, here I am to officially tell you the most amazing news ever, which is that we’re going back to high school with Elle.”
“Before she became the most famous Gemini vegetarian to graduate from Harvard Law School, she was just a regular ‘90s high school girl. And thanks to Amazon and Hello Sunshine, all of you are going to get to know her in this new series on Amazon Prime Video,” she added. “I’m so excited.”
Amazon promoted the impending launch of the Legally Blonde prequel with Saturday’s Elle-World, which the company described as “a one-day NYC event bringing the world Elle Woods to life through experiential activations, exclusive merchandise, and can’t-miss surprises.”
A Legally Blonde prequel is in the works at Prime Video — but what is there to know about Elle so far? Based on Amanda Brown‘s novel, the 2001 movie Legally Blonde introduced Us to Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon), a sorority girl who attempted to win back her ex-boyfriend Warner (Matthew Davis) by getting a […]
Meanwhile, Blair — who played Elle Woods’ romantic rival Vivian Kensington in the 2001 movie — recently opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about some of the memorable red carpet looks she wore to promote the classic comedy.
“I remember styling myself only, like, it never occurred to me to have a stylist,” Blair told Us in April. “I do remember that about that time, I just liked something, and I’d go to the store and I’d buy it, or go to the store and be like, ‘Hi, can you dress me?’ It was just a different time. I thought it was wild when people put makeup on for [a] premiere or style it.”
She went on, “That’s a young girl’s idea, though, because you realize five years later, I need makeup. I did makeup for that premiere and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, such a big deal.’”
One of the most popular spy film franchises is set to make an epic comeback in a few years with Denis Villeneuve’s James Bond film, expected to arrive sometime in 2028. The leading man has yet to be chosen to succeed Daniel Craig, who last portrayed the iconic MI6 agent in 2021’s No Time to Die, marking his fifth and final appearance in the role. As the debate continues over who should inherit the mantle, now seems like the perfect time to revisit other spy franchises, including a fellow British favorite with as much potential as the James Bond films.
Inspired by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons’ comic book series, Kingsman originated in 2012 with its first film, Kingsman: The Secret Service, hitting theaters three years later. The film, directed by English filmmaker Matthew Vaughn from a script he co-wrote with Jane Goldman, starred Colin Firth and Taron Egerton, both of whom reprised their roles in the sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. Another feature film followed in 2021, serving as a prequel, but it failed to reach the heights of its predecessors, nearly ending the acclaimed franchise.
Titled The King’s Man, the spy action film appears to have found redemption on global streaming. According to FlixPatrol, the movie ranked among the top ten most-watched films on HBO Max this week, fluctuating between the fifth and sixth positions. Several international territories — including Albania, Croatia, North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Romania — have also seen The King’s Man climb to the number one spot on their charts. Vaughn returned to direct the film, based on a story by him and a screenplay he co-wrote with Karl Gajdusek.

‘The King’s Man’ Almost Ended Its Acclaimed Spy Franchise
With a budget of $95–100 million,The King’s Man grossed $37.2 million in the United States and Canada, along with $88.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $126 million. That made it the lowest-grossing feature film in the franchise. On top of that, it was a critical disappointment, with a 41% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from 183 reviews and an average score of 5.1/10. However, audiences appeared to enjoy the film more, as its Popcornmeter score stands at an impressive 80% based on more than 1,000 verified ratings.

Featured in The King’s Man’s ensemble cast are Ralph Fiennes as Orlando Oxford, the founding Kingsman Arthur; Gemma Arterton as Polly Wilkins, a maid and member of Orlando’s spy network who is also founding Kingsman Galahad; Rhys Ifans as Grigori Rasputin, an agent and second-in-command of The Shepherd; Matthew Goode as a devious Scotsman posing as an English officer in the British Army, Max Morton (a.k.a., The Shepherd).
“I’ve never been to prison. But, like every man, I’ve certainly wondered how I would survive if circumstances ever put me there,” Sheridan said about the book, which he has co-written with Tom Nelson, a man who knows exactly what it’s like to live behind bars, having spent 17 years in maximum and medium-security prisons. In anticipation of How to Not Die in Prison‘s arrival, fans continue to binge the smorgasbord of Sheridan shows on streaming, and, in doing so, have helped one of his newer projects reach an impressive milestone.
The first broadcast procedural in the Yellowstone universe, Marshals, debuted earlier this year to impressive viewing figures, with the premiere drawing 20.6 million multiplatform viewers over its first seven days. This helped the series become the most-watched new broadcast show of the season, as millions tuned in to see Luke Grimes return as Kayce in the shadow of selling the ranch to Rainwater (Gil Birmingham). Shortly after the premiere of Season 1, and thanks to instant success, Marshals was picked up for Season 2, with production having already begun.

‘Marshals’ Hits an Impressive Streaming Milestone
Almost a month since Marshals‘ first season finale, the series has hit a major streaming milestone, officially crossing 100 days on the Paramount+ charts in the U.S. However, the series can’t overcome the current crown-holder on Paramount+: Dutton Ranch. One of Sheridan’s darkest projects yet, the series recently aired its seventh episode, “Den of Sin,” and has been a mainstay at the top of the U.S. streaming charts. Following Rip (Cole Hauser) and Beth’s (Kelly Reilly) move to a new life in South Texas, the show neatly expands the Yellowstone canon without feeling tied to any source material, allowing for creative freedom and plenty of twists and turns.
Marshals Season 1 is available to stream in full now on Paramount+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.
The canoeist, 67, told the Washington Post on Saturday, June 20, that he was taken into custody on suspicion of misdemeanor destruction of government property the previous day and detained for five hours before eventually being released. Hearn has been ordered to answer the charge in a Washington D.C. Superior Court on July 9.
Per Hearn, he wrapped up a 52-mile bike ride by stopping by the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has undergone a controversial $14 million renovation project to paint the bottom of the pool “American flag blue.” The athlete said he noticed a section of detached liner and reached inside the water to see what the piece felt like.
“I didn’t destroy or break or peel anything,” he told the Post. “By the time I realized what was going on, I was being put in handcuffs.”
President Donald Trump is striking back at a judge’s ruling to remove his name from the Kennedy Center, claiming discrimination from the democratic party. “Shockingly, a Judge appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, Christopher Cooper, ruled that The Kennedy Center, which was going to close in early July for large-scale renovations and construction due to years […]
He added, “I reached in there, and I was able to grab the end of that flapping piece, the already peeling piece. It was still attached to the bottom. I didn’t remove anything.”

The 2000 Summer Olympics canoeist stressed that he “didn’t vandalize anything.”
Conservative Emily Millershared footage of Hearn’s arrest, though she claimed that he’d “grabbed the hose that female National Park Service workers were using to clear the algae.” Hearn denied those accusations, though he acknowledged that his bicycle may have touched the hose.
Us Weekly has reached out to the U.S. Park Police for comment.
This incident occurred hours before Trump, 80, claimed via TruthSocial that vandals were responsible for deterioration of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

“We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington,D.C.,” the president wrote on Friday, June 19. “Things are really looking good in our Nation’s Capital, and add to that the fact that when I became president, Crime was rampant, and now, Washington, D.C., is one of the Safest Cities anywhere in the United States.”

He went on, “However, we’ve had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial. Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed.”

The New York Times reported on Friday that the pool seemed to be rejecting elements of its renovation, with excessive peeling, “chunks of coating” and sections of “American flag blue” visible to visitors amid an ongoing algae problem.
President Donald Trump was not impressed with one question from ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott. “Mr. President, you are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran,” Scott, 33, asked Trump, 79, on Thursday, May 7, during a brief Q&A with reporters. “Why focus on all these projects right now when we’re […]
Trump insisted that saboteurs somehow used chemicals “to destroy and demean our beautiful work,” though those accusations have not been proven.

“It’s a shame that the Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats, who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country, are free to do so,” the president added on Friday. “Law Enforcement is actively investigating this situation, and will hopefully have it resolved soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Star Trek is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. Part of why that is so impressive is that this franchise has managed to maintain the same continuity for so many years. Sure, the Kelvinverse rebooted everything for a few movies, and we occasionally get glimpses of alternate universes with their own twisted history. But the main Trek timeline, from The Original Series through Starfleet Academy, has remained the same, which is an amazing creative achievement. But it also leads to something as annoying as it is inevitable: plot holes!
There are many seeming plot holes throughout the franchise. Heck, Starfleet Academy introduced more than its fair share in only one season. However, the earliest plothole goes back to William Shatner’s very first episode, “Where No Man Has Gone Before.” This episode features a mock grave for James Tiberius Kirk that reads “James R. Kirk.” This weird screwup inspired decades of attempts by fans and creators to explain what happened. However, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry had a simple explanation from the very beginning. That is, the godlike character who created the tombstone was still fallible, meaning that this would be an in-universe screwup rather than a production error.
A Ghoulish Plot Hole
“Where No Man Has Gone Before” was actually the second pilot episode of Star Trek: The Original Series. It’s the episode that sold NBC on this new show, which isn’t surprising, because this is a great hour of television. Strange energy from the galactic barrier gives one of Captain Kirk’s best friends, Gary Mitchell, godlike powers. Those powers are getting stronger by the minute, so Kirk eventually has to make the difficult decision to kill his buddy in the name of keeping the entire ship (and quite possibly the entire galaxy) safe.
At one point, Mitchell uses his powers to summon a tombstone that reads “James R. Kirk.” It makes for a great threat, but there’s just one problem: the character’s name is James Tiberius Kirk. Incidentally, Gene Roddenberry seemingly knew Kirk’s middle name early on, even though it wasn’t officially revealed (outside of The Animated Series) until The Undiscovered Country. In the introduction to Star Trek: The Classic Episodes 1, Original Series writer D.C. Fontana claimed that once Roddenberry noticed the mistake, he came up with a quick and easy explanation. “Gary Mitchell had godlike powers, but at base he was human. He made a mistake.”
Powers Like A God, Mind Like A Human
Unfortunately, Roddenberry kept this plot hole explanation to himself. I say “unfortunately” because this mistake sent fans into a tizzy trying to explain the discrepancy. On top of that, various Star Trek writers tried their hands at providing explanations. One such explanation came from Michael Jan Friedman’s non-canonical My Brother’s Keeper series. In these books, when the future captain meets Gary Mitchell, he claims his middle name is “Racquetball.” Later, when Kirk steamrolls through a discussion, Mitchell says the man’s middle name should be “Rhinoceros.” Therefore, Friedman explained that the “James R. Kirk” on the tombstone is just an in-joke between former friends.
Additionally, the late, great Star Trek writer Peter David tried his hand at an explanation. In his novel Q-Squared, the events of “Where No Man Has Gone Before” take place in a parallel reality in which Kirk’s middle initial really is “R.” In this non-canonical book, we also find out that Mitchell’s powers came from briefly being possessed by Q, who had to pull himself together across all of time and space. Quick side note: while Marvel has really played out the concept of multiverses, Q-Squared is an amazing novel, and every Trek fan should read it at least once.

These writers did their best to explain where “James R. Kirk” came from. On top of this, fans have constantly debated this issue, all trying to one-up each other in coming up with a suitable explanation for this plothole. As it turns out, though, none of this debating and speculating was necessary because Gene Roddenberry had the perfect explanation ready. Namely, that having the power of a god isn’t the same as having the unlimited knowledge of a god. It’s short, it’s simple, and it’s effective. Most of all, it does what Star Trek has always done best: keep the sci-fi storytelling centered around humanity.
“We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington,D.C.,” the president, 80, wrote via his social media platform Truth Social on Friday, June 19. “Things are really looking good in our Nation’s Capital, and add to that the fact that when I became president, Crime was rampant, and now, Washington, D.C., is one of the Safest Cities anywhere in the United States.”

Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed.”
The president previously ordered an estimated $15 million renovation of the pool in time for the country’s 250th birthday celebration. After its ordered completion, the pool appeared to be “rejecting” it’s so-called makeover, The New York Timesreported. According to the outlet, the bottom of the pool is peeling, creating “chunks of coating” and islands of “American flag blue” patches in the pool.
President Donald Trump shared an eyebrow-raising, AI-generated photo featuring the commander-in-chief shirtless alongside members of his cabinet and an unidentified, bikini-clad woman. On Friday, May 1, Trump, 79, went on another social media spree, sharing several posts to his social media platform, Truth Social. One post featured an AI-generated photo of Trump, sans a shirt, […]
The peeling issue comes after renovators attempted to tackle an algae problem that turned what should be crystal-clear blue water a murky, acid-like green.

“They’ve been out here for days,” Alex Hobe, a food delivery driver who spoke to The New York Times said, adding that from his point of view the president’s expensive renovation project is “a complete failure.”

On Friday, the president claimed that the perpetrators of the alleged vandalism used chemicals “to destroy and demean our beautiful work” on the pool before attacking a member of the press — something the commander-in-chief does with great frequency.
President Donald Trump was not impressed with one question from ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott. “Mr. President, you are here against the backdrop of the war in Iran,” Scott, 33, asked Trump, 79, on Thursday, May 7, during a brief Q&A with reporters. “Why focus on all these projects right now when we’re […]
“Lightweight ABC reporter, Jonathan Karl, was seen sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off the surface,” the president alleged. “The algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week.”
Trump added, without any proof of the alleged vandalism or the identity of the alleged perpetrators, “It’s a shame that the Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats, who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country, are free to do so. Law Enforcement is actively investigating this situation, and will hopefully have it resolved soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Less than one year after Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly Ramsay married Olympian Adam Peaty, the newlyweds are preparing to welcome their first baby together.
“Baby Ramsay-Peaty coming December 2026 🐣 ,” Holly, 26, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, June 20. “We can’t wait to meet our baby girl.”
Peaty, 31, previously welcomed his first child, son George, with a past partner in 2020.
“I knew everything was going to change from there, but it’s been amazing,” Peaty told the BBC in June 2020 about becoming a first-time dad. “Everyone’s thinking it was an accident but that’s not the case. It’s one of the most beautiful things you can do together and we’ve already sorted the nursery.”
Many stars are expanding their families in 2026. Actresses Bonnie Wright and Aubrey Plaza revealed in April that they are both pregnant. That same month, Natalie Portman announced that she is expecting baby No. 3, her first with partner Tanguy Destable. The next month, Princess Eugenie shared the news that she is expecting her third […]
The following year, Peaty told The Independent that fatherhood is “the most rewarding and brilliant thing” that he’s experienced.

“I make decisions now based on how he’s going to perceive it [and] what matters in the long-term for him,” he told the newspaper in 2021. It’s less self and more him.”
Peaty started dating Holly later that year, and they got engaged in September 2024.
“I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now,” Holly captioned Instagram photos at the time. “I still [remember] how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you. “Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever.”
She continued, “I love you, and I cannot wait to be your wife. I promise to always be there with you and George, I’m so [grateful] to be in his life and I cannot wait for more. Everything is better with you. Everything has been better since you. Here’s to forever.”
Holly and Peaty ultimately tied the knot at England’s Bath Abbey in December 2025, where proud dad Gordan, 59, walked her down the aisle.

“I’m truly so lucky being able to walk this beautiful bride down the aisle and gaining an incredible son-in-law @adam_peaty!” Gordon, who shares Holly and her five siblings with wife Tana Ramsay, wrote via Instagram at the time. “I love you so much @hollyramsayy and couldn’t be a prouder dad.”
Gordon also gave a touching speech at Holly and Peaty’s wedding reception that night.

“It’s tough, honestly. Being the dad with three daughters, you dream of that moment, and that moment arrives, and you’re just like a hot mess,” the celebrity chef quipped on the U.K.’s This Morningin January. “But the speech was perfect, it went well. … You’ve got to be warm, emotional. It’s a tough gig.”

If there’s one fashion girl staple that seems like a worthy investment, it’s a red sweater. The piece was a mainstay on our social media feeds throughout the winter (long after the holidays were over!), and while we recently wondered whether it was too late to shop one, Tina Fey proved the style works for summer, too.
In early June, the comedian, writer and producer popped up at the Tribeca Film Festival wearing a fiery polo sweater, turning the piece into a summer-friendly look with light gray trousers and eye-catching white heels. While we loved everything about her elevated, expensive-looking outfit, her bold collared top remained on our minds, tempting Us to find a similar style on Amazon.

We don’t know where Fey scored her polo, but it appears to be somewhere in the sweatshirt family rather than a heavy knit, which is why the Yucolen Long Sleeve Polo is a worthy alternative. Made from a cotton blend, this pick is lightweight and airy and, much like the star’s version, includes a collar and buttons at the top. Sizing ranges from small through XXL, and since Fey’s sweater is a bit oversized, we’d recommend sizing up to copy her laid-back-luxe look.
Spring dressing gets tricky when mornings feel cool, afternoons warm up and you still want to look polished through it all. That’s where Hamptons-style sweaters come in. They feature lightweight knits, elegant neutrals and timeless patterns that instantly make an outfit feel more elevated. In fact, our favorites strike that rare balance of looking relaxed, […]
It’s easy to write off basics as boring, but this Amazon find is anything but. Aside from that eye-catching color, it’s something that can be worn on repeat, complementing elaborate statement pieces like printed pants or acting as the star of the show. Fey provided plenty of styling inspiration with her sleek, light-colored slacks, but we’re also imagining it worn with denim shorts and sandals for a somewhat nautical vibe, or teamed with a white maxi skirt for a patio date night. Plus, while the under-$20 price tag pretty much makes the shirt the opposite of an investment piece, it’ll still behave like one. After summer is over, this polo will look just as great with jeans, leather bottoms and fall-coded plaid skirts.
Amazon shoppers point out that the Yucolen piece is also “comfortable and cute,” even calling it the “softest” polo they’ve owned and labeling it a “daily essential.”
One reviewer, who was surprised at how “slimming” the design was, said the style looks “just plain rich” layered under a blazer, which is a bonus given the price.

“Frankly, I know I will be wearing this often!” they continued. “Seeing myself in it makes me feel confident. For that reason, the price is great, and I’ll be buying more color variations as soon as I can.”
Red sweaters have really solidified their spot as the ‘It’ girl piece of 2026, with everyone from Gigi Hadid to Victoria Beckham wearing one. Fey proved the trend is secretly seasonless and totally appropriate for summertime — although it is worth noting she’s been rocking similar styles for decades. After rediscovering her 2001 Gap campaign, in which the star wore a very similar top, we’re doubly convinced the Amazon alternative belongs in our carts. Snag it now and keep it in rotation for seasons — and years! — to come.

Cindy Crawford has long been a master of effortless style, and her latest look is proof that jeans aren’t always the answer.

Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olsonnever thought he’d meet a woman like Maggie Sajak — and now the athlete believes she’s The One.
“Last year, I had kind of given up on finding a girl I wanted to be with,” Olson, 28, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, June 18. “I remember thinking to myself that if I’m gonna date someone I want them to have the same morals I have and to have a kind soul. To like me for me and not for what I post on social media. To love their family and enjoy spending time with them. To not take life so seriously and not care what other people think.”
According to Olson, “somehow” he found all of that — “and more” — in Sajak, 31.
“I’ve never met someone I thought I could spend every day with until I met her, and a major reason why is because we can be our true selves around each other,” he gushed on Thursday. “If you think you haven’t found The One yet and that it’s ‘too late,’ trust me it’s not.”
When Jackson Olson takes the field during some of his biggest games to date, he’ll have an extra special cheerleader in the stands. Just a couple of weeks after hard-launching his relationship with Maggie Sajak, daughter of famed gameshow host Pat Sajak, the Savannah Bananas baseball player was able to have his girlfriend attend one […]
Olson continued, “Sometimes life only gives you what you truly want when you’ve been patient enough. So the moral of the story? Don’t rush it, and never settle. And yeah … loving Disney was an added bonus for us both🤩.”

Olson and Maggie, the daughter of Wheel of Fortune icon Pat Sajak, revealed in April that they were dating.
“I’m a very weird person, I’m a very out there person. I’m not going to hold back who I am as a person, and people seem to enjoy that company,” Olson exclusively told Us Weekly last month, addressing his whirlwind romance. “I’m happy that I’m able to be myself truly in every aspect now. … It’s really cool because we’re obviously living very different lives right now on the opposite side of the country, but we’re able to come together and just have an awesome relationship.”
Olson further revealed that both he and Maggie were committed to making their relationship work despite long distances.
Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson can conquer the baseball diamond — and handle meeting girlfriend Maggie Sajak’s famous father. “I have [met Pat Sajak], he’s a great guy,” Olson, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, May 1, when asked about meeting the retired Wheel of Fortune host, 79, while promoting his new BZZR platform.

“It’s just about planning and making sure you’re setting aside time to see each other and make really cool experiences happen because a start of a relationship never happens again,” he told Us. “You only get one chance at a start of a relationship.”
The Dancing With the Stars season 35 competitor has even earned the approval of his girlfriend’s dad, 79.
“He’s a great guy,” Olson told Us in May, revealing that he’s met Pat in person. “Everybody’s nervous to meet the father of the person they’re dating, or mother or both.”
