One of Netflix‘s biggest shows of the decade is coming to a close, but not without a little bit of drama. Heartstopper originally followed the blossoming relationship between two high school students, Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke), and over the course of three seasons, viewers have watched their love grow, as well as their own understanding of who they are. Two years after the last season aired, the show will be wrapping up with a feature-length finale, Heartstopper Forever. Many shows have stumbled at the final hurdle, so does this sweet and sensitive YA drama give fans the ending they’ve hoped for?
Heartstopper Forever opens with Nick affectionately watching Charlie make his pitch to become head boy at his school, delivering the speech that will win him the election. This new responsibility allows him to try to make a difference for younger children, particularly LGBTQ+ kids, but enacting real change is proving harder than he thought. Meanwhile, rugby-loving Nick is facing his final year at school and preparing to leave for a university that will take him hours away from the one he loves.
Nick and Charlie’s respective fears of the future pile up, resulting in a lack of communication that threatens to tear them apart. With first loves rarely lasting, can theirs be the exception? The film is written by Alice Oseman, the author of the original graphic novels, and is based on the sixth and final volume in the series, as well as aspects of the 2015 novella Nick & Charlie. While a fourth season had been planned to finish the series, viewing figures and contractual obligations reportedly pushed Netflix to truncate this last chapter into a movie.
Heartstopper‘s feature-length ending is 114 minutes, which, when considering the show’s average runtime, equals around three and a half episodes. Given that the first three seasons had eight episodes apiece, it leaves Heartstopper Forever feeling rushed to wrap things up. This mainly comes at the expense of the supporting cast, who are all present but don’t earn much of an arc. Elle (Yasmin Finney) and Tao (William Gao) struggle with a relationship that has more downs than ups, but their journey hums in the background of Nick and Charlie’s story, rather than getting its own spotlight.
Equally, Isaac (Tobie Henderson) seems at peace with his asexual identity, but mostly supports his fellow characters rather than evolving himself. It is undoubtedly nice to see these returning faces, and they keep the warmth around the friendship group alive, but you can’t shake the feeling that the finale’s format leads to them being pushed aside. Eddie Marsan also returns from Season 3 as Charlie’s therapist, although again more as a brief cameo than anything substantial. Meanwhile, Nick’s mother, Sarah, is now played by Anna Maxwell Martin (replacing original actor Olivia Colman), who appears in a brief but loving couple of scenes that reflect the support in his life.
The supporting ensemble’s sacrifice is not in vain, however, as Nick and Charlie ultimately get the send-off they deserve in Heartstopper Forever with a beautiful portrayal of two people struggling to accept that they deserve happiness, as well as grappling with the fear that the upcoming life changes will ruin what they have. That desperately awkward phase of life, where you leave childhood but aren’t quite ready to be an adult, is pitched perfectly, albeit to the backdrop of impossibly glamorous house parties and a gentle soundtrack. It’s a tender evolution of a bond that has grown from innocent flushes of romance to a serious adult relationship. If you’ve been with these characters from the start, there are plenty of callbacks to the moments that made their journey so special, and while Heartstopper itself could never be accused of being edgy, their respective traumas are treated with sincerity.

Heartstopper may never have the shocking impact of something like Tip Toe or the raunchiness of Heated Rivalry, but it stands out by giving queer joy and struggle equal weight. The growing issue of transphobia in society is addressed beautifully through a vulnerable speech from Finney, while the scenes set during a Pride parade showcase the importance of community even in dark times. It’s an acknowledgment that while this may be a fairytale-like exploration of the LGBTQ+ experience, the obstacles that face the community, both young and old, can’t be ignored. In one rather gorgeous scene, which features a cameo from acting legend Derek Jacobi, it also suggests that being who you are is always worth fighting for.
Nick and Charlie also battle their respective demons, but it never feels as though their suffering is being wielded for entertainment. Connor, especially, plays Nick as someone at odds with who he is, both in terms of his past and his present. Nick’s inability to express his fears feels authentic without reveling in his pain, while Charlie’s issues surrounding disordered eating and self-harm are also handled with remarkable sensitivity. Rather than being reduced to shock value, these aspects of the characters foster empathy, thanks to a well-written script and performances from actors who know these roles very well. It would have been nice if their conclusion had been given more breathing room, but this finale makes sure you’re with them every step of the way.
While it does feel rushed at times, Heartstopper Forever ensures that the Netflix series concludes in the style it is known and loved for. Glossy, dramatic, but always big-hearted, it is the kind of teen drama that offers an idealized glimpse of the future for queer youth at a time when that is sorely needed. It may not be especially revelatory, but it serves as a feel-good conclusion for a beloved show that will no doubt be many people’s comfort watch for years to come.
Heartstopper Forever is now streaming on Netflix.

Y’all! Jim Jones is officially entering a new chapter, and the milestone came with plenty of love from those closest to him. The rapper recently celebrated his 50th birthday surrounded by family and friends, with his longtime partner, Chrissy Lampkin, helping make the occasion one to remember.
Videos circulating on social media show Jim Jones walking into what appeared to be a surprise birthday party, where his loved ones welcomed him with cheers while recording the special moment on their phones. Looking visibly caught off guard, Jones made his way through the room before embracing Chrissy and thanking everyone for coming out to celebrate him.
For the celebration, the Dipset rapper rocked white pants, a red-and-white shirt, a matching red headband, and several layered chains as festive balloons filled the room behind him. During a brief speech, Jones reflected on reaching the milestone, telling guests that for someone like him to “make it to 50” was an “accomplishment.” He also credited his family and “his woman” for helping him reach the moment, saying he couldn’t have done it without them. The celebration continued with guests singing “Happy Birthday” as a cake topped with glowing “50” candles was brought out to mark the occasion.
Folks quickly flooded The Shade Room’s Instagram comment section with reactions to Jim Jones’ birthday celebration. While plenty of users showed Chrissy love and praised how good she looked, others agreed with Jones’ remarks that reaching 50 is truly an accomplishment. Meanwhile, a few commenters couldn’t help but joke about the laid-back kickback, poking fun at the intimate vibe of the celebration.
One Instagram user @mbrenee said, “Has he married that girl yet ? Cuz if not gtfoh grandpa 👴🏾”
This Instagram user @thewashfam added, “I thought this was a young lady walking in with her grandfather 😂😂😂😂 HBD JIM😂”
And, Instagram user @heyjohneaaa commented, “Chrissy looks tf good 😍😍😍”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @yeaaaloso joked, “D*mn bro had kickback for his 50th lmao”
While Instagram user @mokkkkkablakk shared, “One thing his family do is celebrate each other😍😍😍”
Finally, Instagram user @blaqbuety wrote, “Making it to 50 is a huge blessing…. Keep it cute. 🎊🎯”

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” finally hit cinemas on Friday, and its first reactions have ranged from glowing praise to fierce criticism online.
The film, which had already sparked the ire of some fans over its casting choices, was tipped to drive the MAGA faithful “completely insane.”
Nolan had already dismissed the pre-release backlash in an interview, calling such conversations “irrelevant” and saying he had learned not to be bothered by them after his experience with “Batman.”
Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated adaptation of Homer’s Greek epic “The Odyssey” landed in cinemas on Friday, July 17. However, the initial reactions have not been entirely rosy, with some viewers taking issue with what they believe are alterations to the plot, as well as the ship and armor designs.
The $250 million epic was always likely to dive headlong into cultural and political crosswinds, mainly because of its casting. However, some viewers also highlighted several alleged “historical inaccuracies.”
Some Greeks even accused the filmmaker and Hollywood of being the “real racists and enemies of the West,” pointing to the film opening “by showing an African rapper [Travis Scott] with rasta in the role of a Greek poet.”
“We Greeks are forced to watch our Greek history and culture being disgraced and mocked across the entire world. What is Nolan’s real role in doing something like this, rather than casting a Greek person who speaks Greek? What’s the purpose of casting someone with rasta in the Greek world?” an X user wrote.
Nolan’s decision to cast Lupita Nyong’o as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra remained a major point of contention among critics who focused on Helen’s description as the most beautiful woman in Greek mythology and “the face that launched a thousand ships.”
As one critic put it, “Black Helen is a flagrant assault on European beauty—and every white person instinctively knows this.”
Others slammed the movie as a “humiliation ritual,” while some argued that the use of American English and modern dialogue weakened the ancient setting.
Meanwhile, Nolan received considerable praise for other elements of the film, with viewers applauding its “beautiful cinematography” and the “superb” performances from Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and their co-stars.
Fans also praised Elliot Page’s appearance as Sinon, saying his character “serves as a brutal lesson for Odysseus, and it is one he carries throughout the remainder of the movie.”
The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw gave the film a perfect rating, describing it as a production “with thrilling ambition, boldness, seriousness, generosity and flair. There are some broad-brush moments in the dialogue, yes, but even these are applied with a muscular flourish.”
New York Times critic Manohla Dargis highlighted Nolan’s passion for cinema, calling it “one of the most Nolan of Nolan spectacles in its thematic concerns, formal playfulness, kinetic thrills and unabashed showmanship.”
The film was tipped to drive the right “completely insane,” particularly because of its changes to several ancient themes, according to Vanity Fair.
For months, conservatives such as Elon Musk lambasted the project on social media, with the founder of SpaceX claiming Nolan had “desecrated the Odyssey so that he would be eligible for an Academy Award.”
The right was also said to be in a “transphobic tizzy” over Page’s casting as Sinon, the Greek soldier responsible for convincing the Trojans to bring the giant wooden horse inside their city.
Other talking points focused on comparisons between the Spartans’ fear that unspecified “people from the sea” were invading their country and destroying their way of life and the real-world “conspiratorial anxieties” voiced by figures such as Musk.
Criticism that the film was not “historically accurate” was also dismissed as “ridiculous,” given that it tells a story involving “gods and monsters, and gorgeous women who hatched out of eggs.”
Meanwhile, Nolan has since fired back at Musk and other critics over their pre-release attacks, calling them “irrelevant.”
“Comes with the territory,” he said, per The Telegraph. “But look, these conversations that happen before people see the film — they’re always irrelevant, because no one having them knows what the film actually is yet.”
Nolan also acknowledged that adapting such a famous epic in the current cultural climate was bound to draw strong reactions, but said he had learned not to let the criticism bother him.
“Remember, I spent ten years of my life dealing with Batman. When I came on ‘Begins,’ writers and artists had been working on this beloved character for almost 65 years, and a lot of freighted thoughts were out there about what he represents,” he explained.
“And what I learned over my time on that trilogy is you can’t worry about any of that at all. What you have to do is honor the original text by interpreting it in the strongest way you personally can,” he added.
Taylor Momsen is grieving the loss of her former security guard, Mason Haynes, who also worked for the Kardashians.
Haynes died at age 52 on July 4, per a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for his family and cover his funeral costs.
“I’ve struggled for days and still am not sure how to process this. Mason Haynes was my family, my protector, my confidant and one of my closest friends,” Momsen, 32, wrote alongside a series of throwback photos of her and Haynes via Instagram on Wednesday, July 15.
The Gossip Girl alum continued, “When someone knows every dark secret about you and never judges, spends 24 hours a day with you seven days a week, you form a bond that is hard to explain. He was a powerful giant with the softest heart of anyone I knew. Smart as a whip, artistic and most importantly he was always putting others needs first. His advocacy against bullying ran deep within him.”
“I will miss him in a way I can’t explain. My love to his family who meant more than the world to him. If you can, please donate to the gofundme in my story to support this immense loss so many people I know are feeling,” wrote Momsen.
She concluded, “I love you Mason, I can’t believe I’ll never hear your voice again. You were truly one of a kind. Hold your loved ones close and don’t take a minute for granted. Love to you all xxt.”

Haynes died following a “tragic road traffic accident” that occurred “two days before what would have been his 53rd birthday,” per the GoFundMe page set up in his honor.
“He leaves behind his devoted wife Fay, his daughter Brooke, his son Noah, a loving family, and an extraordinary circle of friends spread across the world,” the page read.
The description of the fundraiser described the security guard as a “man who made people feel welcome from the moment they met him. A man who would cross countries to help a friend. A man who never let a loved one down and who saw the deep qualities in people that others often overlooked.”
“A protector. A mentor. A prankster. A giant in every sense of the word, with an even bigger heart,” the page added.
As well as Momsen, Haynes worked with Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Lewis Hamilton and more throughout his career. He was part of Kardashian’s security detail when she was robbed at gunpoint in a Paris apartment in October 2016.
Lana Del Rey opted to attend a fan’s birthday celebration rather than join the long list of high-profile stars at Taylor Swift‘s wedding.
The high-profile event coincided with YouTuber Oli Abbas’ birthday, and Del Rey chose to celebrate with the content creator, whom she has been friends with for years. Abbas later shared photos and videos from the gathering online, along with a heartfelt message thanking the singer for making the occasion even more special.
While some of the biggest names in film and music gathered at Madison Square Garden to celebrate Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated marriage to Travis Kelce, Lana Del Rey opted for a more intimate setting, spending the day with Abbas instead.
The YouTuber later shared several videos of himself with the “Summertime Sadness” singer on social media, including one alongside a heartfelt message thanking her for being part of his special day.
“My birthday was such an amazing day surrounded by my favorite people,” he shared on his Instagram page. “So thankful for @mrsremiashten for hosting and [Del Rey and Grant] for having us as well.”
In one of the videos shared online, Lana Del Rey was seen sitting beside Abbas as everyone sang “Happy Birthday” before he blew out the candles on his cake.
Seeing the close bond between the YouTuber and the singer left many fans in awe of their friendship.
“Lana Del Rey casually sitting next to him like it’s a regular birthday party,” one person wrote, while another commented, “Lana being at the party is soooo iconic.”
“You being friends with Lana is so f-cking crazy, but I love that for you,” another fan added.
Elsewhere online, fans also praised Del Rey for choosing to show up for Abbas rather than attend Taylor Swift’s wedding.
“The fact that she missed Taylor’s wedding to stay in LA for her friend’s birthday speaks volumes about how holy flipping amazing she is,” one fan wrote.
Del Rey first met Abbas at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music Awards, where she surprised him by revealing that she watched his YouTube channel every day.
During her acceptance speech, she also gave Abbas a special shoutout, saying he was one of the vloggers who helped her through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Abbas later took to Instagram to tell his followers he was left speechless after meeting the singer, whom he had admired for years.
“You guys, I can’t believe I met my favorite artist in the world @honeymoon, and she watches my vlogs,” he wrote. “I always thought of a speech I’d say if I was so lucky to cross paths, but I couldn’t even say anything because I was so shocked! Thank you for your poise, beauty and ethereal grace.”
Abbas later reflected on the encounter during an appearance on the “Pretty Basic” podcast, making up for being too overwhelmed to tell Del Rey everything he had wanted to say.
He called her his “number one favorite artist” and explained that her music had helped him through some of the darkest periods of his life. Abbas also praised every aspect of her artistry, from her songwriting to her cinematography, describing the opportunity to meet her as a surreal experience.
According to Abbas, Del Rey’s decision to publicly acknowledge him during one of the biggest moments of her career made him feel “seen” and “validated.” He added that it reflected her genuine appreciation for both her fans and fellow creators.
More than a year after that first meeting, Del Rey and Abbas’ friendship has continued to grow, as evidenced by her appearance at his recent birthday celebration.
In 2025, the pair also attended the wedding of Remi Ashten, a vlogger Del Rey mentioned in her Billboard Women in Music acceptance speech and a close friend of Abbas.
Del Rey was photographed spending time with Abbas and other members of the YouTube friendship circle during the Santa Barbara celebration. She later shared photos from the wedding and reportedly described it as one of the most enjoyable gatherings she had attended in a long time.
Bella Hadid appears to be embracing a quieter chapter in her personal life following the reported end of her romance with cowboy and professional equestrian Adan Banuelos.
While the supermodel has kept any new relationship firmly under wraps, recent sightings have fueled fresh speculation about the man now spending time by her side.
What has surprised many, however, isn’t just his identity, but the background he comes from and the low-key approach Hadid seems determined to maintain.
Bella Hadid isn’t rushing to define her love life, but that hasn’t stopped speculation from growing.
Months after her reported breakup with Banuelos, the model has been linked to Nathan Lacy, a Colorado native whose identity remained a mystery when the pair were first spotted together in Milan in February.
Photos of the supermodel walking alongside a man in a Stetson hat immediately caught fans’ attention, but only recently was he identified as the 38-year-old project manager with a passion for horses.
Insiders say Lacy comes from a family that has long been established in Crested Butte, Colorado. His relatives reportedly own a construction business that has served the area for generations and also maintain property in Texas.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, one source described the family as “very Catholic, very conservative and very red,” a background that stands in contrast to Hadid’s public support for causes including Palestinian rights and the transgender community.
Those close to Bella Hadid say she has no interest in diving headfirst into another serious relationship.
Although rumors circulated earlier this year that she and Banuelos were attempting to reconcile after they were seen together, insiders now claim the 29-year-old has instead been spending time in Crested Butte, where Lacy lives.
Even so, sources insist the relationship is still in its early stages.
“She does have someone she’s hanging out with, but he’s just someone she’s getting to know,” one insider explained, adding, “So don’t get too excited about it. I think she’s just trying to have a companion, she’s not trying to get married, she’s not trying to make this more than it is.”
According to the same source, Hadid was deeply affected by the end of her relationship with Banuelos and had even told friends she planned to avoid dating for at least a year after the breakup.
“The Adan thing took a lot out of her, she really loved him, he loved her, it didn’t work. She was hurt and it took some time for her to get past it,” the insider added.
Despite the growing attention surrounding Lacy, insiders say Hadid is refusing to get carried away.
“He makes her happy for now, but she’s not talking about him every minute,” one source noted, further adding, “She’s not acting like this is anything more than a very good friend who she is getting to know.”
Even with a new companion in the picture, insiders say the fashion model’s priorities haven’t changed.
According to one source, Hadid still gravitates toward men who live the same rugged lifestyle she has embraced since moving to Texas.
“She does have a type – the rugged handsome cowboy, outdoors, not impressed with fashion or style. Just a guy,” the insider said, adding, “That’s what she always says, ‘I want a guy.’ She wants someone who seems blue collar. She wants him to look the part and to have a strong work ethic.”
Although Bella Hadid fully embraced the cowboy lifestyle during her relationship with Banuelos, insiders claim the former couple ultimately discovered that sharing a love of horses wasn’t enough to overcome their very different worlds.
According to Page Six, Banuelos struggled to adapt to the demands that came with dating one of fashion’s biggest stars.
“She tried to put him in her life and it’s all cute, but he is in a very insular world of rodeos. He tried, but it’s too much,” one source said.
The insider also pointed to their vastly different upbringings, noting, “She’s the daughter of Mohamed and Yolanda Hadid. It’s such a different way of growing up.”
They added that Hadid’s frequent travel, including flying on private jets because of her chronic Lyme disease, was very different from Banuelos’ quieter rodeo-centered lifestyle.
Despite their emotional connection and shared passion for horses, sources claimed those differences eventually became impossible to ignore.
While Hadid’s love life has generated plenty of headlines in recent months, her reported romance wasn’t the only deeply personal chapter she shared with fans this year.
In June, the star made headlines when she revealed she was battling another painful Lyme disease flare-up, offering a heartbreaking glimpse into the health struggles she has faced for more than a decade.
Posting a tearful selfie on her Instagram Stories, Hadid wrote per The Blast, “Haven’t been able to shake off this flare up. Slept 11 hours. Again… Took every protocol from any and every doctor I’ve ever seen. Still nothing helping.”
She later explained just how debilitating the episode had become, adding, “And no I didn’t go on a walk because I was out of breath walking to the kitchen,” before celebrating the small victory of managing to shower without fainting.
Despite the setback, Hadid reassured followers that she remained hopeful while continuing treatment for her chronic illness.
The Western genre continues to prove popular across many of the top streaming platforms. On Netflix, viewers can’t get enough of Little House on the Prairie, showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine‘s (The Housemaid) new adaptation, based on the popular work of the same name by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Being whisked away on a heartfelt trip to a farm in late 19th-century Midwestern America has been the order of the past week for Netflix subscribers, but what should you watch now? To help you decide, here’s a list of three shows you should binge-watch on Netflix.

We are now just a couple of weeks away from the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Netflix has an unlikely yet perfect option to help get you in the mood. Based on the comic book of the same name, and originally airing on Fox between 2001 and 2002, The Tick stars Patrick Warburton as the 7-foot, 400-pound superhero, as he uses super strength, speed, and satire to fight all manner of evil.
Warburton’s Tick, alongside David Burke as his trusty sidekick Arthur, makes for a neat realization of this clever original comic book, sprinkling a strange sense of reality into a wild and otherworldly story. Sadly, just nine episodes are available in this series, although that does make it perfect for a one-weekend binge-watch. If you’re looking for a more up-to-date version of this story, a 2016 reboot starring Peter Serafinowicz has also recently arrived on Netflix.
Following in the recent footsteps of Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2 and Jason Sudeikis‘ Ted Lasso, Will Ferrell‘s first TV comedy as creator, executive producer, and star sees him walk into the often hilarious and uplifting world of sport. In The Hawk, Ferrell portrays Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, a former world No. 1 golfer who peaked in 2004. Convinced he has one more shot at glory, is he delusional, a genius, or both?
Of course, any chance to work on a Ferrell comedy should be snapped up, with The Hawk boasting an impressive cast that includes Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, Fortune Feimster, Luke Wilson, and Chris Parnell. Co-created by Ferrell, Harper Steele, and Chris Henchy, this big-budget, easy-to-watch comedy is a perfect antidote to the high stress from this year’s summer of sports.
From a tick, to a hawk, and now a rabbit. One of the most underrated miniseries currently on Netflix, Black Rabbit, created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, stars Jason Bateman and Jude Law as a restaurant owner and his troubled brother who become wrapped up in a world of chaos in New York City.
Also starring the likes of Abbey Lee (Mad Max: Fury Road), Cleopatra Coleman, Amaka Okafor, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, and Troy Kotsur, it is Bateman who stands out most in Black Rabbit, with the Arrested Development star recently surprising many by earning himself an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. Add this award success to a strong critical reception and a gripping central story, and you have a perfect weekend binge.

Kim Kardashian is responding to fans after receiving backlash for posting a bikini lake picture with her sister, Khloé Kardashian, after her grandmother’s death. In the comment section of the latest Instagram post, social media users questioned the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, asking her whether it was appropriate to share the carousel of images while her family was grieving, to which she replied, clearing the air.
Kim shared a series of snaps yesterday, July 16, featuring her and her sister, Khloé, looking stunning in bikinis while on the lake.
Other pics in the slideshow showed Kim appearing to take a shot of alcohol, wakeboarding, riding dirt bikes, and eating.
The post came at a peculiar time, though, given that news of her grandmother, Mary Jo ‘MJ’ Shannon’s death had just been shared publicly.
“Kim there’s people that are dying,” someone wrote, while another said, “Didn’t your grandmother just pass? This couldn’t wait [until] the weekend?”
Another wrote, “Didn’t MJ just die and you’re posting this? WOW,” and a fourth added, “Girl, what about your grandma!?”
It didn’t take long for Kim, mother of four, to respond to the backlash, clarifying what actually happened. According to the “All’s Fair” actress, the slideshow of pictures was actually a prescheduled post and was not meant to overshadow the news about her grandmother.
“This post was scheduled a few days ago before we lost MJ, so its timing came right alongside her passing. I’ve been by my mom and grandma’s side this past week, and my heart is completely with my family right now. We love and miss her so deeply, and in the days ahead, we’ll be focusing on celebrating her beautiful life,” she wrote.
The comment has garnered over 120,000 likes and more than 700 replies.
This isn’t the first time that netizens have blasted the Kardashian family for social media blunders. According to Paper Magazine, Khloé faced heat of her own in April 2022 when she revealed that she took her daughter, True, to Disneyland for the “first time.”
Loyal Kardashian followers, though, called her out and pointed to a 2021 Instagram post from Kim that showed her daughter, Chicago, with True at Disney. Fans at the time suggested that True appeared to have been photoshopped into the pictures, and following Khloé’s April post, it was confirmed.
“Welllppp I f-cked this one up,” Khloé wrote on X. “Anyways….. let’s focus on something else. Our show airs in a few days.”
An hour after her lake post, Kim posted a heartfelt tribute to her late grandmother, who died at age 91.
“My sweet Grandma MJ, my best friend, my gossip buddy, my forever twin…” Kim captioned the slideshow of images. “You taught all of us the importance of family, and those values are something we’ll carry with us forever!!!!! You were the woman who showed me what it meant to be a hardworking businesswoman.”
Kim, 45, continued, “You gave me my very first job at your store in San Diego and taught me lessons about work ethic, strength, and confidence that I’ve carried with me ever since. You always believed in me, championed me, and were my safe place. You truly were the matriarch of our family, and your love is woven into all of us. I know you’re at peace now.”
Kris also posted her own tribute for her late mother, who died less than two weeks before her 92nd birthday.
“There are no words that could ever capture what she has meant to me or the heartbreak of having to say goodbye. My mom was the heart of our family. She taught me everything that truly matters … to love your family fiercely, to be kind, to show up for the people you love, and to never take a single moment together for granted. She taught us that family is everything,” Kris wrote.
She went on to say that MJ, who appeared on “KUWTK” and Hulu’s “The Kardashians” several times over the years, modeled “unconditional” love for their entire family and showed them how to find happiness in every moment.
“Our hearts are broken, but we find comfort knowing that love like yours never truly leaves us. Your love will live on in our family, in our traditions, in every moment we are together, and in every life you touched,” she added.

Meghan Trainor has nothing but praise for Hilary Duff and the “best people” in their mom group.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, July 16, Trainor, 32, shared a carousel of photos featuring the friendship group who were out in force as Duff, 38, performed on The Lucky Me Tour this month.
“@hilaryduff thank u for the best concert with the best people💗,” Trainor gushed in the post’s caption.
The photos and video were captured at night two of the Los Angeles leg of the tour. Mom group member, What’s Gaby Cooking author Gaby Dalkin, also shared posts of the night out earlier this month.
Meghan Trainor is reacting once again after being pulled into the “toxic” mom group drama sweeping the internet. In a Monday, January 12, TikTok video, Trainor filmed herself lip-synching along to an audio clip from Stranger Things season 5, in which young Holly Wheeler (Nell Fisher) tries to convince her peers that their pal Mr. […]
“Stage mom-ing so hard!!!” Dalkin captioned a group photo of Duff’s longtime mom crew via her Instagram Story on July 9. “We love you @hilaryduff.”
The group snap featured Trainor, Dalkin, Mandy Moore, hairstylist Barb Thompson, artist Amanda (Kaplan) Lillywhite, Muu by Better Babies, Inc. founder Janice Gott, makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher and beauty and skincare guru Whitney Wagner Hartley.
The mom group’s outing comes after a spotlight was placed on Trainor and Duff’s respective friendship dynamics in January when Ashley Tisdale French wrote a personal essay for The Cut as well as a Substack post.
In the piece, the High School Musical star, 41, blasted a “toxic” mom group she was forced to walk away from after feeling ostracized.
While she didn’t name any of the other moms involved in the group, many of her fans believed it to be the group she shared with other celebrity moms, such as Trainor, Duff and Moore. (Tisdale French’s representative denied this at the time.)
“I remember being left out of a couple of group hangs, and I knew about them because Instagram made sure it fed me every single photo and Instagram Story,” Tisdale French wrote. “I was starting to feel frozen out of the group, noticing every way that they seemed to exclude me. … I told myself it was all in my head, and it wasn’t a big deal. And yet, I could sense a growing distance between me and the other members of the group, who seemed to not even care that I wasn’t around much.”
Tisdale French described texting the group and telling them she was leaving because the group felt “too high school for me, and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.”
Duff weighed in the following month during an appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.
The Lizzie McGuire alum claimed people didn’t have to “connect very many dots” to figure out which mom group Tisdale French was referring to.
“I felt really sad. I honestly felt really sad. I was pretty, pretty taken aback and felt just sad,” Duff, said of Tisdale French’s comments. “I have so many groups of friends. I’m so lucky.”
She added, “It sucks to read something that’s not true, and it sucks on behalf of six women and all of their lives.”
Meanwhile, Trainor distanced herself from the drama, insisting on social media she wasn’t involved.
In April, the singer exclusively told Us Weekly that there was no bad blood between her and Tisdale French after the saga made headlines.
“I felt bad for Ashley,” Trainor told Us at the time. “I felt bad that she was ever that sad, and I think it was just a lot of miscommunication and confusion. I don’t know what happened, but I wish them all the best.”
The Grammy winner also detailed the text exchange between her and Tisdale French after the drama blew up.
“I texted all of them,” Trainor recalled to Us. “Ashley texted me like, ‘I’m sorry, your name got dragged in.’ And I was like, ‘It’s all right, girl, like, the world’s a silly, crazy place, and they just want something to talk about.’”
Before sitting down to watch The Odyssey, moviegoers started streaming this two-decade-old historical fantasy film in preparation to go back to the era of gods and warriors. Zack Snyder directed the film in question, and it was one of his early works, 10 years before he entered the DCU, plus it features the talents of Gerard Butler, who played an iconic Greek historical figure.
The film in question is 300, which first premiered in 2006 but entered U.S. theaters in 2007. Based on the 1998 graphic novel of the same name, it recounts the Battle of Thermopylae, in which King Leonidas (Butler) led an army of 300 men against Persian King Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). 300 was a box office success, generating over $468 million worldwide and becoming the 10th-highest-grossing film of 2007. It won Best Action, Adventure, or Thriller Film and Best Director at the Saturn Awards. Two decades later, the feature found a new audience as they prepare to return to Ancient Greece once more for Christopher Nolan‘s upcoming adaptation of Homer‘s Odyssey.
Recently, 300 landed at #5 on Vudu’s Top 10 Movies in the United States, sitting between Cast Away and Jurassic Park. Since its release, 300 has been praised by fans and critics alike, earning a 61% critics’ score and an 89% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 3.4 score on Letterboxd. Critics described 300 as a “muscle fantasy”; some called it boring, and one called it “Greek Myth meets Looney Tunes“. Meanwhile, audiences claimed it was “empowering” and filled with adrenaline.
If you’re excited to watch The Odyssey, have finished streaming 300, and want to watch other content based on Greek mythology, there are other titles worth watching that will bring you back to that era. The first that comes to mind is Percy Jackson and the Olympians, both the Disney+ series and the films. Based on Rick Riordan‘s book series of the same name, this is a modern telling of Greek myths, as it follows Percy Jackson, who discovers he’s not just a demigod but also a forbidden child, as he’s the son of Poseidon. Each film/season has Percy and his friends embarking on a brand-new quest, and the Disney+ series will release Season 3 this year.
There’s also Disney’s Hercules, the 1997 animated musical fantasy starring Tate Donovan as the strong demigod, Hercules, Danny DeVito as Philoctetes, James Woods as Hades, and Susan Egan as Megara. The film is loosely based on the Greek mythology of Hercules, a god known for his superhuman strength, who completed a series of tasks called the Twelve Labors.
But if you are after something close to The Odyssey, then 2004’s Troy is worth watching, and features a star-studded cast, like Brad Pitt, Orlando Bloom, and Brian Cox, to name a few. The feature is based on Homer’s Greek epic, the Iliad, which tells the story of the Trojan War.
300 is available to stream on Vudu. Follow Collider for more updates.
