Between Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and Tom Holland, 2026 has been a marquee year for many of Hollywood’s biggest names, with each star landing multiple totemic movies in the same calendar year. What connects them, besides fame and acclaim? Sharing screentime with Robert Pattinson, who is having perhaps the most stellar 2026 of all. Despite having already starred in and excelled in The Drama and The Odyssey, the actor still has two wildly anticipated films on this year’s schedule: he is set to appear in the end-of-year’s most seismic cinematic event, Dune: Part Three, and at the end of September, Pattinson will officially make his case for an Academy Award for his buzzy performance as Chris Hansen in Lance Oppenheim‘s Primetime. We are watching the perfect blueprint of how to be a movie star in 2026 unroll in front of our eyes, and his success in parlaying his earlier mainstream success to elevate smaller projects should be the formula for future stars.

Robert Pattinson Cashed In on His ‘Twilight’ Fame

Hollywood’s inability to produce new movie stars, especially ones 40 years old and under, is frequently discussed by audiences and talking heads alike. Average viewers are drawn more to comic book characters and pre-established IP, and the Tom Cruises and Sandra Bullocks of the world are rare commodities. Frankly, one of the many factors driving this trend is the refusal by many household names to use their A-list status to prop up and greenlight small, independent films with challenging and unique material. This critique is often thrown at stars like Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans, who have resigned themselves to churning out indistinguishable action blockbusters.

Stepping away from that pattern is Robert Pattinson, who starred in both an A24 and a Christopher Nolan movie in 2026, and who has broken the rigid confines of 40-and-under actors by becoming a movie star with genuine artistic integrity. The roots of his current viability as a star and dramatic actor go back over a decade, following the conclusion of his five-movie run as Edward Cullen in the wildly popular Twilight series. Since being minted as the ultimate big-screen heartthrob from 2008 to 2012, Pattinson has rejected his screen persona as a swooning “pretty boy” by playing sheer scoundrels in provocative and bold auteur-driven films. He set the tone for his post-Twilight career instantly by working with the probing and experimental David Cronenberg twice. Pattinson has helped elevate the mainstream status of today’s best working filmmakers, including Josh and Benny Safdie, Claire Denis, Robert Eggers, Lynn Ramsey, Kristoffer Borgli, and now Lance Oppenheim, a documentarian making his foray into narrative filmmaking with Primetime.

Robert Pattinson Consistently Plays Daring and Unglamorous Roles

Male stars designated as matinée idols often make themselves appear ugly, both physically and emotionally, to prove they are serious dramatic actors who don’t skate by on their good looks. Throughout the years, these transformations have been met with mixed results, but no one in recent memory has made one’s deconstruction of their movie star sheen look easier than Robert Pattinson. In 2026 alone, he has played paranoid, envious, and slithering characters in The Drama and The Odyssey, in roles not designed to garner sympathy from the audience. Pattinson’s revelatory turns in Good Time and The Lighthouse showcased his mastery of playing self-destructive men on the brink of total collapse. Even with his most “heroic” characters, such as the set of clones rebelling against totalitarianism in Bong Joon-ho‘s Mickey 17, he is a bumbling, vulnerable presence with a peculiar voice and oddball energy.

Granted, unless you’re Leonardo DiCaprio, if you want to be an A-lister in 2026, you have to play ball with Hollywood. Pattinson can’t be described as much of an anti-establishment artist, as he is indeed the current iteration of Bruce Wayne, last seen in Matt Reeves‘ The Batman, which has finally begun filming its sequel. Luckily, despite donning a cape and wearing a mask throughout most of the runtime, he’s not been asked to partake in any expanded universe (at least for now). The standalone and auteurist nature of The Batman is tailor-made for Pattinson’s career approach. Working with Christopher Nolan, arguably the most viable name in Hollywood, has also helped make Pattinson a household name. Nolan, who makes blockbusters that are nothing like the standard blockbuster, lets Pattinson run wild with his conniving and off-putting characters, and his performance as Antinous in The Odyssey has drawn much enthusiasm.

When even your “one for them” projects are creatively liberating, you know you’re in a vaunted class. Robert Pattinson, whose work in Primetime has placed him firmly in the Oscar conversation, is just getting started, and we may be witnessing the prime of our brightest star in Hollywood.

MTV has honored Madonna, Britney Spears, Kanye West and more legendary artists with the Video Vanguard Award at the Video Music Awards.

David Bowie was the first artist to receive the top honor at the inaugural VMAs in 1984. Seven years later, the network renamed the award to honor Michael Jackson, who was presented the Moon Person in 1988. The name was once again changed in 2019 after Jackson came under fire for sexual abuse allegations in HBO’s Leaving Neverland documentary, with all mentions of the late performer removed from the awards’ website and 2019 broadcast. (Jackson, who died in 2009, denied all allegations against him in the past.)

At the 36th annual VMAs, Missy Elliott made history as the first female rap artist to accept the Vanguard Award, which is not presented every year. In 2018, Jennifer Lopez became the first Latin artist to win the award.  Shakira, for her part, became the first South American artist to take home the honor at the 2023 ceremony.

Scroll through to revisit some of the most memorable Video Vanguard Award winners over the years.

With the rumors that the next Bond has already been cast (with no word on who it might be), everyone’s got a name that they’re throwing into the hat. Whether it’s Jack Lowden, Callum Turner, or Jacob Elordi — the current frontrunners — we can rest assured that the Bond 26 casting announcement will make as many waves as Daniel Craig‘s casting did back in 2005. Although he might not be as young as the other candidates, Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal proves that Eddie Redmayne deserves a spot on the list as a potential underdog for the role. It’s not the classic James Bond, nor the classic Jackal of the book, but Redmayne brings a sleek brutality to the role that still invokes echoes of the 007 agent.

Eddie Redmayne’s Jackal Feels Incredibly Similar to James Bond

The Day of the Jackal showcases Redmayne’s cerebral and brutal sides, as he murders people with the precision and style of a 007 agent. The initial assassination of a right-wing German politician displays the Jackal’s precision and lack of remorse for his victims. He takes his time to set up his weapon, which is a sniper rifle so ingeniously disguised as a suitcase it could literally be Ben Whishaw‘s Q himself that built it. The bullet through the German’s head is so bluntly portrayed, smacking through the exit wound and spraying blood on the ground in an instant, yet Redmayne’s Jackal still holds to his code, not killing unnecessarily, as he doesn’t pull the trigger when presented with the opportunity of eliminating the politician’s bodyguard.

Furthermore, Redmayne’s physicality is brilliant in the role, as a master of disguise, being able to both be handsome and yet blend into a crowd when needed. There’s a reason why Redmayne’s performance as the Jackal earned him a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. Throughout nearly every persona he takes on, there is a politeness to the Jackal. He’s a businessman, though his remark that he couldn’t care less why his employees want someone dead displays the coldness hidden beneath the veneer of chivalry.

‘The Day of the Jackal’s Romance Gives an Even Greater James Bond Feel to Eddie Redmayne’s Performance

Something that The Day of the Jackal stands out in — compared to previous adaptations — is its romantic elements. The book rarely includes anything like this, yet the 10-part series depicts the Jackal’s home life with his wife Nuria (Úrsula Corberó) and son in Cádiz, displaying a far more sympathetic side than the book or 1973 Edward Fox-led film ever really offered. This addition gives us far more complexity to the character, and many scenes between a coy Jackal and his wife feel eerily similar to the chemistry between Daniel Craig and Eva Green’s in Casino Royale. Nuria sees through the Jackal’s lies surrounding his line of work, wanting him to be completely present at home, and Redmayne shines in these scenes. There is a softness to the character that you can tell he has with nobody else, yet it is clear he is always focused on the next job, even though he wants to be at home more often.

The Day of the Jackal is already a thrilling adventure on its own, with danger around every turn, and Eddie Redmayne’s performance highlights this. He serves as the gravity well around which everything revolves. Not only do we get to see the cold-blooded assassin side of the Jackal, but his relationship at home portrays the inner conflict continually occurring within the character. It’s not James Bond exactly, but Redmayne’s performance is what makes The Day of the Jackal so watchable. And if we end up disappointed by the Bond casting announcement, at least we know that there’s another season of The Day of the Jackal waiting in the wings for us in 2027.

Patrick Clancy opened up about how he dealt with trauma after his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, killed their three kids in January 2023, revealing that one “miracle” treatment helped him “the most.”

In an extended clip from his Sunday, September 20, interview on 60 Minutes, Patrick, 36, said that he used EMDR to face the murder of his kids “head on.”

EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a psychotherapy treatment designed to help people heal from the emotional distress and symptoms from traumatic events.

“It’s unpleasant but they get you used to dealing with that,” Patrick said. “And, eventually, you’re better at processing it … After I did it — all of those sessions — the waking up screaming, the horrible dreams, they mostly stopped. I mean, it was like a miracle.”

Patrick went on to say that the “traumatic” memories from the event were “overwhelming.”

“I think the thing that helped the most was EMDR,” he said. “It’s a little unusual. They put you right back in that place that you’ve been trying to avoid for years and you face it head-on.”

The interview marked the first time Patrick has publicly spoken about the murders after Lindsay’s case was declared a mistrial on September 4. She was on trial for nearly seven weeks after she killed their kids Cora, 5. Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home on January 24, 2023.

While Lindsay, 36, never denied killing her kids, her defense team argued that she should not be held criminally responsible for the murders due to her struggles with postpartum psychosis. Meanwhile, the prosecution argued she was aware of what she was doing when she killed her kids.

Following extensive testimony from psychologists and investigators, the jury deadlocked 11-1 when they were unable to come to a unanimous verdict. The prosecution has not yet announced whether they plan to bring the case back to trial.

Patrick shared many details about the harrowing experience on 60 Minutes, including the wish he made shortly after Lindsay strangled their kids.

“So, I didn’t have all the details of Callan’s condition,” Patrick said of the former couple’s youngest child, who survived for a few days after the attacks. “I just knew that they got a heartbeat back. So I remember … that night, I … really thought there was a chance that Callan would live. And I remember just thinking, ‘Just gimme one. Just gimme one kid, and I would raise him as best I could, and I would give him the best life I possibly could. I’d tell him about his brother and sister.’”

Zara Larsson is channeling her inner space babe.

Larsson, 33, took to Instagram on Tuesday, September 22, to show off her bikini body in a tiny swimsuit. Her shimmery purple bikini featured itty-bitty cups and halter straps that she tied behind her neck. She styled the look with string bottoms that had bows on her hips. The singer made her look even hotter with temporary silver kiss, star and flower tattoos all over her body. She further accessorized with statement yellow earrings.

Her glam was just as noteworthy as her swimsuit. Larsson’s makeup featured long lashes, contoured cheeks and pink lips. Her platinum blonde hair, which cascaded down to her waist, was parted down the middle and styled in beachy waves.

Larsson stood in the center of sand, which was strategically formed to create a ripple effect around her.

“👽,” Larsson captioned the post. Her fans praised her in the comments section.

Thank You!

“She’s literally OUT OF THIS WORLD 👽,” one gushed. A second complimented her, writing, “She landed and immediately served.” A third added, “BODY WAS SCULPTED FROM THE GODS.”

This isn’t the first time Larsson has shown off her bikini body. Earlier this month, she rocked a bubblegum pink bikini featuring triangle cups and a silver hoop between her chest. The design was complete with razor-thin straps. Larsson teamed the style with a white towel, which she tied around her waist, a blue feather in her hair and neon pink nails.

While performing, Larsson often hits the stage in bra tops, low rise shorts and more ensembles that put her toned abs on display. In August, she sparkled in a bedazzled floral top and sequin shorts complete with the same colorful embellishments. She added even more spunk to her look with neon bangles, hoop earrings and rhinestone makeup.

An elderly man in Maryland has been arrested after he allegedly confessed to his pastor that he killed his roommate following an argument over an electrical outlet.

Irwin Joseph Dickstein was taken into custody on Sunday, September 20, and was charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder in the death of his roommate, Michael Roy Bushnell.

The Frederick Police Department announced in a press release that they became aware of the case on September 20 when deputies with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office contacted police after they received a tip regarding a possible murder.

“Dickstein had reportedly told a witness that he shot his roommate,” the release stated. “Dickstein also provided the location where the incident allegedly occurred.”

A woman in Florida was arrested after she confessed to killing her roommate in a rural Charlotte County neighborhood, according to police. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said that 76-year-old Paul De Wayne Bradley was found dead on the evening of Sunday, March 8, at his home on Gewant Boulevard in the Charlotte Ranchettes, according […]

Officers then responded to the address to conduct a welfare check.

Upon their arrival, police found that the residence was not secured and they entered the home. They found Bushnell, 63, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dickstein, 87, was later found at another location, and authorities took him into custody without incident.

According to an affidavit viewed by WJLA, the roommates experienced several disputes over electrical work at their shared home. Bushnell reportedly told a neighbor that Dickstein was upset with him after he turned off the power while trying to repair an outlet.

The neighbor spoke to investigators and said that he heard the two men arguing before several loud bangs came from the home around 5:30 a.m.

Dickstein went to Frederick Christian Fellowship Church later that morning, where he allegedly told a pastor that he had killed someone. The pastor then contacted police around 10:30 a.m. and he called authorities to report the murder.

Following his arrest, Dickstein allegedly admitted to the murder while speaking to detectives. He identified Bushnell as the victim and confirmed he was inside the Franklin Street residence at the time of the shooting. Following the admission, Dickstein refused to speak any further without a lawyer.

One of the biggest romantic comedies of the late 2010s has made a streaming resurgence years after its release. This feature became a phenomenon, inspiring actors who had quit acting to return to the industry, and it played a huge role in representation. Not to mention, it’s still being watched to this day, albeit through a unique medium.

The film is Crazy Rich Asians, directed by Jon M. Chu and based on Kevin Kwan’s novel of the same name. The 2018 feature stars Constance Wu and Henry Golding, along with other major names of Asian descent, including Awkwafina, Ken Jeong, Michelle Yeoh, Ronny Chieng, and Harry Shum Jr., to name a few. While Crazy Rich Asians didn’t receive any Academy Award nominations, it still had a major impact on Hollywood, inspiring Ke Huy Quan to return to acting with Everything Everywhere All at Once and sparking a wave of projects that showcased positive representation of Asian cultures.

Recently, Crazy Rich Asians made a comeback on streaming, landing at #10 on Netflix’s Top 10 Movies chart worldwide, sitting underneath The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. For those who haven’t seen it, Crazy Rich Asians follows Rachel Chu (Wu), who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend, Nick Young (Golding), as he attends his best friend’s wedding. She doesn’t realize that her boyfriend’s family is extremely wealthy and that his mother, Eleanor (Yeoh), doesn’t approve of their relationship. Since its release, Crazy Rich Asians has been highly praised, earning a 91% Certified Fresh Critics Score and a 78% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. It also made well beyond its reported $30 million budget, earning $293 million worldwide. At the moment, it has been confirmed that Crazy Rich Asians will receive a follow-up as a TV series, but updates have been scarce lately.

How ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Became One of the Best Airplane Movies

Crazy Rich Asians has become a streaming hit, and it’s also been considered one of the best “airplane movies,” referring to titles passengers watch during flights through a plane’s in-flight entertainment system. Some reasons include that the feature follows a trip to another country, which passengers can relate to, and that it’s easy to watch because it lacks violence or heavily sexualized scenes, making it comfortable to watch while sitting next to strangers. Other features that people have considered to be great airplane films include The Martian, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

Crazy Rich Asians is available to rent digitally on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Spectrum. Follow Collider for more updates.

Drama is brewing within the MomTok community and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast as the Hulu reality show undergoes a major shakeup.

“It is a mess between the girls behind the scenes, and everyone has really turned their backs against Taylor Frankie Paul,” a source exclusively shares with Us. “Taylor has not been in a good place mentally and does not have many people who are supporting her publicly, which is hard.”

Although Jessi Draper has publicly supported her costar and friend, the insider says “almost all of the girls agree that Taylor is a ticking time bomb and ultimately can’t trust her.”

“They are over her,” the source explains, “and don’t want to deal with it anymore.”

Although Hulu has not confirmed any casting decisions for upcoming seasons, Mikayla Mathews previously announced that she would not be returning to the reality show and said she would be donating the money she would have earned for the rest of season 6 to the National Children’s Alliance.

According to a source, many of the girls, including Layla Taylor and Mayci Neeley, are unsure if they will continue for future seasons.

“Everything is up in the air,” the source shares. “It is renewed, but producers are very unclear about how the show will proceed.”

On Monday, September 21, Taylor, 32, seemingly confirmed her exit from the show in a social media post.

“My gratitude goes to all the networks that supported me throughout this and gave me the chance to return. However, I don’t desire to move forward like this,” she wrote via Instagram. “It’s a pleasure to remove myself so they can continue, because I’ve almost convinced myself I’m deserving of all this pain and to a certain degree absolutely this is consequences of my actions. My question has been how much suffering and scrutiny is going to be enough…I’m just relieved to be out.”

While one source says it was a decision made by the network that Taylor agreed “was for the best,” another insider denies producers pushed the reality star out.

As the second insider shares, “Everyone wants what is best for Taylor and her health.”

Us has reached out to Hulu and Taylor’s rep for comment.

The SLOMW returned for its long-awaited fifth season on September 10 after production was paused earlier this year amid legal issues involving Taylor and her ex Dakota Mortensen.

Taylor previously expressed her disappointment at some cast members not supporting her on or off camera.

“I originally was willing to be removed to let them all continue on with less stress and I’m back to that point,” she wrote via Instagram. “Some of the girls know what I’ve been through and then to turn and collectively pile on with their ‘statements’ knowing there has been ongoing abuse through the system the last 8 months on top of what I’ve endured. Almost the entire cast plus some, going at me….laughing about my kids is disgusting.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is streaming now on Hulu.
