So… Where Does Jhené Aiko Stand With Big Sean?
Fans have kept a close eye on Jhené Aiko for a minute, especially when it comes to where things stand between her and Big Sean. Long before the photos of her and Larry June started making rounds, folks online had already started wondering if Jhené and Sean quietly called it quits since they haven’t been spotted together in quite some time. Neither Jhené or Big Sean has addressed the rumors and speculation, but Jhené has continued sharing little glimpses of their son on social media. Jhené and Sean welcomed Noah in November 2022.
Then in 2024, fans put their relationship under an even bigger microscope after Big Sean popped out during her ‘The Magic Hour’ tour stop in Los Angeles. While performing, Sean rapped the opening verse of his hit song ‘Beware’ directly to Jhené. She playfully brushed him off with a few dismissive gestures, but when he reached the lyrics, “Got a ring,” she turned to him and said, “What ring?” The moment quickly went viral and had the internet side-eyeing their relationship.
Here’s What Big Sean Previously Said About Putting A Ring On Jhené
In 2024, Big Sean also spoke on the speculation about a proposal and marriage with Jhené during an interview with Charlamagne Tha God. he said that, like any couple, they dealt with ups and downs and were focused on figuring out how to move through it all. He also shared that marriage represents the highest form of a relationship. He didn’t exactly say he wasn’t down to put a ring on Jhené, but his response still had fans questioning whether or not he planned to.
“To me marriage symbolizes the best relationship. To me, I feel like having a relationship is first and foremost. People are like ‘oh you have to to get married,’ but to me that’s like a fear-based way of thinking too because then people be getting divorced,” Sean said.

Elegant, yet wearable pieces are a given in Kelly Rutherford’s closet. The actress’ latest look included a shockingly cute pair of light blue H-strap sandals. Though her specific style has a designer price tag, we found a nearly identical pair that won’t break the bank if you want to channel her chic style this summer.
As shared on Instagram, Rutherford posed for a mirror selfie wearing light blue Hermès slides. Her relaxed shoe style featured wide cutout straps and flat soles, proving to be a chic yet practical shoe choice for warm summer days. Similarly, the Lookyno light blue slip-on sandals on Amazon feature an open, geometric silhouette and a square, flat base. Best of all, they only cost $30!

Rutherford wore her pastel-hued slip-ons with a beige linen Helmstedt blouse and a matching midi skirt, each covered in a multicolored floral pattern. The actress’ chic shoe style instantly picked up the similar light blue tones of her lightweight set, creating a streamlined appearance. Her look was complete with a warm tan Hermès Kelly handbag, dark brown sunglasses and a thick silver cuff bracelet.
It’s no secret that Kelly Rutherford has mastered luxe dressing with approachable, fashion-forward pieces that we constantly use for inspiration. Just in time for summer, her latest look included a dreamy white dress that’s at the top of our wish lists, and it’s one we found a surprisingly similar version of for under $40. The […]
Like Rutherford, we can’t help but add a pair of open cutout slides to our summer shoe rotation. The sandals’ smooth texture creates an elevated appearance, while a slip-on shape with flat soles allows for comfortable, easy wear.
Similarly to Rutherford, pairing your own light blue slip-ons with pieces in a blue shade—especially on the lighter side of the color spectrum—will create an effortlessly put-together outfit, even if you simply slide them on before stepping out the door. A printed blouse or T-shirt with light blue jeans creates a leg-lengthening effect, though they look just as sharp with darker denim as well. The shoe style can also easily complement a lightweight linen skirt, pants, or a flowing white dress to create a breezy summer outfit, perfect for daytime errands, cocktail hour, or sunny lunches outside.
Rutherford’s sandal style is popular among Amazon shoppers, too. One customer shared that the $30 sandals are “so cute and go with everything,” noting how “comfortable” they feel. Another fan said the “true to size” style makes it “a fantastic and comfortable sandal.”
Whether you’re slipping this cutout sandal style on with an elegant summer dress or more casual denim, they’ll instantly elevate any outfit this season. The easy-to-wear slides look far more expensive than their $30 price tag. Add them to your cart when planning your next summer looks!

“SNL” alum Rachel Dratch channels Debbie Downer to blast AI in commencement speech: 'Congrats to all on your mandatory gap years'
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Rachel-Dratch-Dartmouth-commencement-address-061726-da9ec27699664db2b4c7700f35984513.jpg)
The comedic actress returned to her alma mater, Dartmouth College, to address the graduating class of 2026.
Months of friendship drama, public accusations, and emotional social media posts left fans wondering whether the relationship between Mikayla Matthews and Taylor Frankie Paul could ever recover.
After weeks of headlines surrounding their falling out, Matthews is finally addressing where things stand today.
While the wounds from the feud remain fresh, she says the situation has reached a more peaceful place.
After their highly publicized clash online, Mikayla Matthews says she and her fellow “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star have reached a better place.
Speaking to Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” while promoting her partnership with Snackish, Matthews revealed that she no longer feels the need to continue the public back-and-forth.
“We’re good. I feel like I’ve said, not all that I’ve wanted to say, but all that was needed to say,” she explained.
Although she stood by her previous statements, Matthews indicated that her priority is now protecting her own well-being rather than revisiting old arguments.
“This is what I need to do to protect myself and my relationships and my mental health,” she said.
She also acknowledged that public attention inevitably brings criticism and debate.
“There’s still always going to be opinions and comments, that’s just kind of the name of the game. Control what you can control. That’s where I’m kind of at right now.”
The comments marked the clearest indication yet that Matthews is attempting to move beyond the conflict that dominated social media discussions among fans of the reality series.
How The Public Fallout Began
The dispute first erupted when Mikayla Matthews shared an Instagram Story discussing the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries.
At the time, she explained that she wanted to remain “as removed as possible” from Taylor Frankie Paul’s legal issues involving her former partner, Dakota Mortensen.
Matthews also argued that it was not her responsibility to support or excuse behavior she viewed as harmful.
According to her, it was not her “job to enable poor or dangerous behavior from either party.”
She further stated that she had supported Paul through difficult periods, including moments when the reality star had hit “rock bottom,” despite dealing with her own personal challenges and health concerns.
The comments quickly drew attention and set the stage for a public disagreement between two women who had once appeared to share a close friendship.
Taylor Frankie Paul Fires Back
Paul did not remain silent for long. Without directly naming Mikayla Matthews, she posted a lengthy response that many interpreted as being aimed at her co-star.
“I STILL have ‘friends’ kicking me while I’m already down and calling it ‘setting a boundary’ and then BLAMES ME for being upset and responding. That’s called shaming and attack while I had a moment to breathe and she knew that,” Paul wrote.
Her frustration became even more apparent as she continued.
“What a snake friend just did to me in the public eye after everything she just witnessed…the lack of empathy and silence was loud enough,” she said.
Paul also challenged Matthews’ claim that she was remaining neutral during the ongoing legal battle involving Mortensen.
“Your trauma doesn’t give you a pass to kick me while down and cover it with ‘a boundary’ months later after the fact… she is right to state her “boundary” sure …but go ahead tell them the truth,” Paul added.
The exchange quickly became one of the most talked-about reality television feuds online.
Mikayla Matthews Defends Her Position
As speculation intensified, Matthews responded again in the comments section of an Instagram fan account discussing the drama.
“Could probably write a book on everything I’ve had to say on this. Nothing I said denied that she’s experienced pain, trauma, or difficult things, there’s literally no question about that,” she wrote.
Matthews argued that empathy and accountability could exist at the same time.
She continued, “Two things can be true. Someone can be hurting and still hurt people around them in the process. My statement was never about wanting [Taylor] to fail, suffer, or be canceled.”
She further explained her reasoning, writing, “It was about no longer wanting to publicly participate in or normalize a cycle that was affecting everyone around it, especially where children and repeated violence were involved.”
The reality star also maintained her concerns regarding Paul’s past domestic violence incidents and said she could not support what she viewed as destructive behavior patterns.
Mikayla Matthews Calls For Healing Amid Ongoing Drama
Several days later, Matthews acknowledged that parts of the online dispute had escalated further than she intended.
She admitted she had “definitely got out of hand commenting,” but maintained that her overall message remained unchanged.
“I can’t stress enough that this is not about ‘sides’ or ‘teams.’ I genuinely want to see everyone healed and happy, including myself,” she wrote.
Matthews also made it clear that she would continue defending herself against behavior she found unacceptable.
“At the same time, I’m not going to quietly accept loud disrespect, manipulation or fear tactics used to intimidate any woman who set boundaries or chooses not to support destructive behavior. And I definitely won’t tolerate people downplaying the trauma I’ve endured and continue to work through to this day,” she said.
She later described social media as “so dangerous” and revealed she would be “blocking anyone who is not serving [her] end goal.”
The feud unfolded against the backdrop of Paul’s ongoing legal and custody disputes involving Mortensen. In March, Paul temporarily lost custody of her young son amid mutual allegations of abuse between the former couple. Their court battle remains ongoing.
Musicals get judged unfairly. And that’s mainly because my personal experience sometimes perceives the songs like interruptions. But one close look at the finest musicals out there and you understand that the finest ones use music as the place where characters finally say the thing they were too scared, too proud, too broken, or too young to say plainly.
The ten films below deserve a bigger spotlight because each one understands that musical numbers can carry loneliness, desire, grief, rebellion, absurdity, identity, and pure cinematic joy. Some are strange. Some are messy. Some are tiny compared to the obvious classics. All ten have that rare feeling where the music seems to unlock the movie’s soul. Go figure.
‘God Help the Girl’ (2014)
God Help the Girl follows Eve (Emily Browning), a fragile and imaginative young woman in Glasgow, as she leaves treatment for mental health struggles and starts making music with James (Olly Alexander) and Cassie (Hannah Murray). The plot is small on purpose. A band forms, feelings shift, friends wander through cafés, parks, bedrooms, and practice spaces, and every song feels like someone trying to build a version of themselves they can survive inside.
That is the charm people underrate. The movie has the softness of an old indie-pop record, but Eve’s pain keeps the sweetness from floating away. Browning makes her feel dreamy without turning her into a cute sadness object. James has his own awkward sincerity, while Cassie gives the group a brighter, sharper pulse. The songs sound light, yet they keep brushing against recovery, loneliness, romance, and the strange relief of finding people who understand your rhythm before your life is fixed.
‘The Lure’ (2015)
A Polish mermaid horror musical set in a nightclub should sound too strange to be this emotionally sharp. The Lure follows two siren sisters, Golden (Michalina Olszańska) and Silver (Marta Mazurek), who are pulled into the human world of 1980s Warsaw nightlife, where they sing, seduce, perform, and try to understand desire inside a place that wants to sell their bodies as spectacle. One sister leans toward hunger and instinct. The other starts chasing love with a human man who has no idea what that love will cost her.
The movie is wild, bloody, glittery, and weirdly heartbreaking in the same breath. The music has that cold synth-pop nightclub pulse, and the performances make the sisters feel magical without smoothing over how dangerous they are. Their tails are gorgeous and grotesque. Their voices are hypnotic. Their bond is the real emotional anchor, especially as romance starts threatening the thing that made them powerful together. The Lure deserves masterpiece status because it turns a fairy tale into body horror, pop fantasy, sister tragedy, and coming-of-age nightmare all at once.
‘Anna and the Apocalypse’ (2017)
Anna and the Apocalypse follows Anna (Ella Hunt), a teenager in the small Scottish town of Little Haven, desperate to leave home and travel before adulthood locks her into everyone else’s expectations. Then Christmas season gets swallowed by a zombie outbreak, and her school, friends, crushes, teachers, and family problems all become part of a survival story with songs. Zombie musicals should collapse from the concept alone, so the shock here is how much heart this one has.
The fun is obvious at first: candy-colored holiday chaos, undead attacks, school corridors, weapons made from whatever is nearby, and songs that treat teen frustration like it deserves a full chorus. Then the movie starts cutting deeper. Anna’s need to escape her dad, John’s (Malcolm Cumming) quiet love for her, Steph’s (Sarah Swire) isolation, and the group’s messy loyalty make the horror hurt more than expected. “Hollywood Ending” gives the whole thing a bright teen-movie lift before the world gets uglier. The movie earns affection because it lets the singing be funny, sincere, and painful without apologizing for any of it.
‘Everyone Says I Love You’ (1996)
Next up, this whole film feels like a wealthy, neurotic family daydreaming its way through romance, and honestly, that is the best way to meet it. Woody Allen’s ensemble musical Everyone Says I Love You follows tangled relationships across New York, Paris, and Venice, with family members, lovers, exes, and romantic disasters slipping into classic American standards. The singing is often imperfect, which gives the movie a loose, personal quality most polished musicals would have cleaned away.
That looseness becomes the point. These people are not bursting into song because they are grand performers. They sing because love has made them foolish, hopeful, jealous, sentimental, or ridiculous. The film has a breezy charm in the way it drifts through crushes, breakups, political mismatches, and impossible romantic fantasies. Goldie Hawn floating by the Seine is the image everyone remembers, and for good reason. It feels like a private wish made visible. The movie is underrated because its lightness hides real craft. It understands romance as performance, embarrassment, and fantasy we keep choosing even after experience should have made us wiser.
‘Pennies from Heaven’ (1981)
Pennies from Heaven stars Arthur Parker (Steve Martin), a sheet-music salesman during the Depression who dreams in old songs because reality gives him very little worth singing about. This is the kind of musical that smiles with its mouth and bleeds underneath. His marriage is cold, his business life is humiliating, and his affair with schoolteacher Eileen (Bernadette Peters) pulls both of them into a fantasy of glamour that their actual world refuses to support.
The lip-synced musical numbers are brilliant. They make happiness feel borrowed. Characters open their mouths and old recordings pour out, as if they can only access beauty through songs that existed before their pain. The “Pennies from Heaven” and “Let’s Misbehave” sequences glow with artificial joy, but the streets outside stay cruel, poor, and unforgiving. Peters gives Eileen a sadness that keeps deepening as her dream turns into compromise. The movie is too bitter to become a comfort musical, which may explain why it still feels under-loved. It uses fantasy to show how badly people need fantasy when life has cornered them.
‘The Commitments’ (1991)
You can feel the sweat in this one before the band even becomes good. The Commitments follows Jimmy Rabbitte (Robert Arkins), a working-class Dubliner who pulls together a group of local musicians under the wildly ambitious belief that soul music belongs to them too. They are young, broke, mouthy, restless, and convinced for at least five minutes at a time that they might become legendary. That delusion is part of the magic.
The performances have a rough, electric joy that makes the movie endlessly rewatchable. Deco Cuffe (Andrew Strong)’s voice is ridiculous in the best way, even when his ego makes him impossible to stand. The backing singers bring heat, humor, and actual personality instead of becoming decoration. Joey “The Lips” Fagan (Johnny Murphy) gives the whole project a strange mythic confidence, like every tiny gig is connected to a larger musical universe. The rehearsals, arguments, cramped stages, and explosive versions of “Try a Little Tenderness” and “Mustang Sally” are so godo and make the movie feel alive from the floor up. It is a masterpiece about a band that burns bright partly because it was never built to last.
‘Sing Street’ (2016)
Sing Street follows Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo), a Dublin schoolboy in the 1980s dealing with his parents’ collapsing marriage, money problems, and a grim new school run by cruel authority. Then he sees Raphina (Lucy Boynton), claims he is in a band to impress her, and suddenly has to invent one with other boys who also need somewhere to put their hunger for escape. Few movies understand how music lets teenagers become brave before they actually feel brave.
The joy is in watching influence turn into identity. Duran Duran, The Cure, Spandau Ballet, and music-video fantasy all pass through Conor until the songs start sounding like his own life fighting back. “Drive It Like You Stole It” is pure teenage imagination taking over a miserable school hall. “Up” captures that first rush of thinking someone sees the version of you that nobody at home understands. Brendan (Jack Reynor), Conor’s older brother, gives the film its bruised wisdom because he knows what it costs to stay stuck. The movie feels small, then suddenly enormous, because a song can become the first door out.
‘Once’ (2007)
Some movie romances shout. This one barely raises its voice, and that is why it hurts so beautifully. Once follows a Dublin busker, Guy (Glen Hansard), and a Czech immigrant, Girl (Markéta Irglová), who meet through music, then begin recording songs together while carrying unfinished lives in different directions. He is still wounded by an old love. She has responsibilities, a child, and a marriage that complicates every feeling the music starts bringing to the surface.
The songs feel discovered rather than staged. “Falling Slowly” has become the obvious signature, but the whole movie has that fragile, lived-in quality where a melody can say what a conversation would ruin. Hansard and Irglová give the relationship a tenderness that never needs cheap romantic certainty. The music shop scene, the late-night piano, the studio sessions, the headphones, the small looks after each song, all of it builds a connection that feels real enough to leave unfinished. That is why Once keeps finding people. It understands that some relationships change your life without becoming your life.
‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ (2001)
This musical does not ask for attention. Hedwig and the Angry Inch follows Hedwig (John Cameron Mitchell), an East German rock singer touring seafood restaurants and small venues while telling the story of her botched gender-affirming surgery, her escape from Berlin, and the lover who stole her songs and became famous. The stage becomes her confession booth, battlefield, and survival mechanism at the same time. It kicks the door open in heels, eyeliner, rage, glitter, and heartbreak.
The music is furious, funny, wounded, and alive in a way most screen musicals never dare to be. “Tear Me Down,” for instance, turns identity into a wall being smashed. “Wig in a Box” turns self-creation into an anthem for anyone who has ever had to invent armor before leaving the room. “Origin of Love” gives Hedwig’s longing a mythic shape, while Tommy Gnosis (Michael Pitt) keeps representing the validation she wants and the theft she cannot forgive. The film is messy in the way a real open wound is messy. Its masterpiece status comes from how completely the songs, performance, pain, jokes, and gendered self-mythology fuse into one unforgettable voice.
‘The Young Girls of Rochefort’ (1967)
Image via Madeleine Films
At #1, we have this pure joy that is harder to make than people admit, and this movie makes it look like the whole city woke up singing in color. The Young Girls of Rochefort follows Delphine (Catherine Deneuve) and Solange (Françoise Dorléac), twin sisters in Rochefort who dream of love, art, music, and a larger life beyond their seaside town. Around them, sailors, shopkeepers, old lovers, visiting performers, and strangers keep crossing paths as if romance has turned the streets into choreography.
The miracle is how much melancholy lives inside all that brightness. Deneuve and Dorléac give the sisters lightness, but the film never treats longing as shallow. People miss each other by seconds. Old love hovers near new possibility. Michel Legrand’s music turns every walk, glance, and turn through the square into emotional movement. Gene Kelly brings Hollywood grace into Demy’s French dream world without making it feel imported. The colors are famous, the dancing is gorgeous, and the songs are addictive, but the reason it sits at No. 1 is deeper than style. It captures the feeling that life may be full of near-misses, yet beauty keeps asking people to step back into the street.

Remember when Bunnie XO had the internet calling her and Jelly Roll “couple goals”? Just a few months ago, the podcast host made it clear that what fans see online doesn’t reflect the full reality of their relationship. While Bunnie XO and Jelly Roll have often been praised for their love story and loyalty to each other, she previously shut down the fairytale narrative. This week, reports that Jelly Roll has filed for divorce have circulated.

Bunnie XO Rejects “Couple Goals” Label Amid Divorce Reports
During a sit-down with Kelly Clarkson, which aired in February 2026, Bunnie XO has been firm about rejecting the “couple goals” label fans love to place on her and Jelly Roll. “I know they mean it with good intention. But at the same time… we’ve been through the freaking trenches together,” she said, emphasizing that their relationship has endured far more than what’s visible online. And while the pair have openly discussed therapy, rebuilding trust, and doing the work to stay together, recent reports that Jelly Roll has filed for divorce have once again brought their complicated love story back into the spotlight.
Bunnie XO Talks Rocky Start Of Relationship With Jelly Roll
Furthermore, Bunnie opened up about how quickly things moved between her and Jelly Roll, revealing they eloped in Las Vegas just a month after meeting. She explained that their vastly different upbringings played a major role in the early challenges of their marriage, admitting things were rocky from the start as they adjusted to life together. “We were both just so hardheaded and stubborn,” she said, reflecting on how their personalities clashed in the beginning.
Bunnie also revealed that their relationship hit a major breaking point when Jelly Roll — real name Jason DeFord — had a nearly year-long affair about three years into their marriage. She recalled how devastating it was to find out, sharing that they briefly separated before eventually working through their issues. Instead of immediately walking away, Bunnie said she chose to reflect inward and gave him another chance, explaining that she believed in growth and second chances despite the hurt.
Here’s Why Old Clips Are Resurfacing Online
As The Shade Room previously reported, Jelly Roll officially filed for divorce from Bunnie XO on May 18, bringing an end to their 10-year marriage. Court documents that surfaced on Tuesday, June 16, revealed that the singer listed their date of separation as May 9 and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. The filing quickly reignited public interest in the couple’s relationship, especially as past interviews and personal revelations about their marriage began circulating again online.

If Patricia From ‘Widow’s Bay’ Officially Won You Over, You Need Her 2-Part Comedy Series
Widow’s Bay came out of nowhere to scare viewers into a hilarious good time. The Apple TV series takes the classic Stephen King trope of a tight-knit community in a small town plagued by horrors and gives it a refreshing spin. Matthew Rhys stars as Mayor Tom Loftis, a relative outsider who comes to understand that the macabre legends of Widow’s Bay are closer to reality than he is comfortable with.
The hidden gem of the series, however, is Kate O’Flynn, who plays Tom’s employee, Patricia. The underappreciated municipal worker finds purpose when Tom gets in over his head. In a series that has its niche in horror-comedy, O’Flynn still stands apart in a cast full of idiosyncratic characters. Patricia is at the center of one of the best episodes when her sunset cocktail party goes awry. Widow’s Bay has officially concluded for the season, but that doesn’t mean that O’Flynn’s performances are out of reach. Viewers can delve into her filmography even further in an underseen comedy from England.
Kate O’Flynn Delivers Perfect Comic Timing in ‘Everyone Else Burns’
For those intrigued by Kate O’Flynn’s special brand of humor, the Channel 4 sitcom, Everyone Else Burns, is the natural follow-up. The title alone conveys exactly what sort of tone the satirical series takes about a Manchester family devoted to a puritanical form of Christianity. O’Flynn plays the Lewis family’s matriarch, Fiona, whose deadpan delivery and comedic timing are a trademark of the actor.
Her comedy comes about between a rock and a hard place, which Fiona usually finds herself in. Married to a staunch devotee who entirely believes that the rapture is coming, Fiona follows in David’s footsteps at first. She is also devout, but is not as ridiculous as her husband. David (Simon Bird) is the Michael Scott of this sitcom, a leader who probably shouldn’t be one. His offensive bowl haircut and blind belief that he is God’s instrument are part of the humor.
Fiona isn’t as serious and likes modern conveniences such as television, but still believes that the apocalypse is imminent. This is a careful tightrope walk, which makes her the best character in the series. She progresses as a person throughout the series, eventually acknowledging the hypocrisy and misogyny of organized religion. David isn’t particularly likable as he represents this hypocrisy. He isn’t a good person either, but he believes that his religion makes him a saint. He fully buys into the idea that he should be promoted to a church elder, even though he is obviously ill-suited to the position.
His wife, in contrast, is the hilarious salve to this issue. Fiona is reasonable, but still hammers home the central concept of the show. Everyone Else Burns is almost the antithesis of Widow’s Bay, but it still harnesses similar humor. While the straight sitcom leans towards the purity of religion, the Apple TV series is more satanic. Patricia would be disavowed by this family, especially after committing a demonic ritual, which almost kills everyone on the island. Kate O’Flynn is the secret weapon of both shows, no matter what side of the demonic line she’s on.

‘The Mask’ Director Says He “Bet the Farm” on Jim Carrey Becoming a Movie Star [Exclusive]
Some actors have a star-making performance, but Jim Carrey had a star-making year in 1994. At that time, Carrey was already making noise thanks to In Living Color, but The Mask helped turn him into a full-blown movie star. For those of us who watched him step into that Edge City bank for the first time over 30 years ago, you could tell he had it. So, it seems, could director Chuck Russell.
Speaking with Collider for the 30th anniversary of Eraser for the latest edition of our retrospective series, Collider Rewind, Russell reflected on watching Carrey perform before casting him in The Mask. The filmmaker said seeing him live made it clear that Carrey’s physical comedy worked far beyond what he could do on television. “Yeah. So I’m at The Comedy Store, and I realized what he’d been doing in In Living Color, [which] I’d also been watching, was that he could do live,” Russell told Collider. “I talked to him about it while we were filming The Mask, and he said, ‘If I can imagine it, Chuck, I can physically do it. It’s wild.’ He is a Charlie Chaplin. I knew, ‘This guy’s a comedy genius,’ literally. I bet the farm on Jim Carrey being a great movie star, and New Line finally agreed.”
Russell also revealed that Carrey was not the only major Hollywood discovery of the film. Cameron Diaz, who made her screen debut in The Mask, had never acted before, making the whole project a much bigger risk than it may look in hindsight, but boy, did it pay off. “The other person that I really saw ahead of time was Cameron Diaz, who had never acted before at all,” said Russell. “So, the studio took quite a risk with me, and my encouragement on, first of all, letting that be a comedy instead of a horror film, which was originally how they conceived it, and letting me make it a vehicle for Jim and Cameron. It was kind of risk-reward. We made a movie that was unlike anything that had been seen prior.”
Originally, as Russell explained, the plan for the film was something more akin to a horror, which makes a lot of sense given the premise: Stanley Ipkiss puts on the mask and starts robbing banks and leaving bodies in his wake, then the next morning, he has no idea what crimes he’s committed. But there was a very tricky tightrope to walk to make that into a comedy, and Russell pulled it off magnificently. “I wanted to make a literally joyful movie,” Russell explained. “I’d lost my father not long before I got to make The Mask, and I just said, ‘I’m going to have a good time, and I’m going to make sure the audiences have a good time. Let’s get this movie made with Jim Carrey.’”
How Successful Was ‘The Mask’?
The Mask was a massive success, especially considering how risky it looked on paper at the time, with two leads who were by no means household names, and visual effects galore. It was made for around $23 million and grossed about $351 million worldwide, which is an enormous return. Domestically, it made about $119 million, and internationally, it added around $232 million.
It was also a huge career-maker for Carrey and Diaz. Carrey had already broken out that same year with Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, but The Mask helped prove he could carry a big, effects-driven studio movie. When you watch Ace Ventura, there’s a raw and low-budget feel to it. The Mask felt glossy and like a proper Hollywood picture, while Diaz’s entrance into the Edge City bank is still one of the most memorable on-screen debuts in movie history. Critically, it landed well, too. The effects, Carrey’s performance, and the live-action cartoon feel were all praised, and the film earned an Oscar nomination for Best Visual Effects.

No amount of magic is enough for Potterheads. Be it the generation that grew up with books and movies, or the ones who were introduced to the franchise later. Over the years, many moments and characters have become staples for the fandom. Later this year, a new generation will be introduced to Harry, Ron, and Hermione and their magical Wizarding World as HBO rolls out the new Harry Potter series.
The series, showrun by Francesca Gardiner and directed by Mark Mylod, promises nostalgia and is adamant to flesh out elements of the books that didn’t get screen time during the original movies, be it characters like the poltergeist Peeves or Harry’s life with the Dursleys before he got his letter, as teased in the trailer. To remind fans of the nostalgia and the wonderful world filled with magic and mayhem before the new series arrives, Funko has launched a new line assembling the Dark Lord’s faithful servants.
Fans will soon find Pops of Fenrir Greyback, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, and a Death Eater. For fans who’d love to start right away with their collection, figurines of Harry Potter with Hedwig, Aberforth Dumbledore with Mirror Shard, and Severus Snape with Patronus are available right now. The figurines make a perfect addition to any fan’s collection.
What Do We Know About the Upcoming ‘Harry Potter’ Series
Enough to get us excited, but not enough to keep guessing. The series has gathered a brilliant cast, including Dominic McLaughlin as the titular character, with Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger. Further filling the staffroom are John Lithgow as headmaster Albus Dumbledore, Janet McTeer stepping into the shoes of Minerva McGonagall, and Paapa Essiedu as iconic double agent Severus Snape, along with Nick Frost as loveable gameskeeper Rubeus Hagrid.
In the longer TV series format, the makers are filling in some blanks with behind-the-scenes images showcasing Dumbledore meeting his friend Nicolas Flamel and his wife; some images also show Harry’s parents, James and Lily. With small elements such as these, even longtime fans will get something fresh in the reboot. Furthermore, some ignored characters like Peeves, who’ll be played by Peter Serafinowicz. With season 1 already under their belt, the second season is currently filming.
The new Funko line will be out soon. The new Harry Potter series will debut on 25 December. Stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.

General Hospital Early Spoilers June 22-26: Carly Panics in Total Chaos – Britt Suffers Deadly Collapse!
General Hospital early spoilers for the week of June 22nd through the 26th stun with Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) going into panic mode when a search warrant is served that puts everything at risk. Plus, Britt Westbourne’s (Kelly Thiebaud) collapse could be fatal and a cry for help might come too late.
We’re going to get into what is coming the week of June 22nd including big big stuff for July sweeps which kicks off next week. And as we always do on early edition day, we start with what is happening the rest of this week and then we talk about what is ahead for next week.
General Hospital Spoilers: Lulu’s Transparency and Cullum’s Search Warrant
With that in mind, let’s dive right in. On Wednesday, June 17th, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) is transparent with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), which is a nice change. I think we can all agree. And this may come after an intense talk with Lulu, Dante and Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), possibly also after she has a talk with Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey).
So, Cullum has been talking to the dirty WSB agents under his control, and he’s wondering why Dante and Lulu haven’t involved the FBI in Rocco going missing, which they should be as a kidnapping across state lines.
So, Cullum shows up to interrogate Dante and Lulu and asks, “What exactly are you protecting her from?” And I’m assuming the her is Britt. And what’s ironic is it’s Cullum that they are protecting Britt and Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) from since they all know that he shot Cullum, but Cullum doesn’t know that Rocco’s parents know.
GH Spoilers: Chase on the Spot
So, Dante asked Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) up at the PCPD whether he was following the law or what Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) wanted him to do when he arrested Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot). So, is he doing this for Willow or doing the right thing? I’m sure Chase is going to deny anything inappropriate and reminds Dante that Tracy has a history of doing dodgy things, which is true.
Also, Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean Parsons) pulls a fast one on Friday. He stole evidence and we know he’s insisting on a closed adoption. Plus, he still has Ava Jerome (Maura West) wanting a price for her silence about him being Phoebe’s dad. Although, a lot of fans still don’t think Ethan is really her father. He may be protecting a secret.
General Hospital: Valentin’s Mission and Carly’s Search Warrant Shock
So, also we’ve got Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) all done up in a suit. He’s ready to sneak over to Geneva and talk to mystery person Z for help taking down Cullum and saving Josslyn from Spoon Island. Valentin is about to go and he tells Carly that he doesn’t know if they will see each other again.
They’re both emotional and may be interrupted because Carly is shocked by who’s at the door. It is Cullum who’s got a search warrant to go through Carly’s house looking for Valentin. Now, Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) is also over there saying goodbye to her dad, Valentin, and she’s still there when Cullum shows up. Now, hopefully Valentin’s already gone by then, or he sees him coming and runs off. This was triggered by the trace on his call that went to Anna’s clinic.
General Hospital Spoilers:
Also, Tracy demands answers from Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton). So, Tracy’s ranting at her granddaughter and wants her to tell her if she believes Willow or her. As long as Chase isn’t around, I’m sure Brook Lynn will tell the truth.
And this may be when she tells Tracy that she is framing Willow as the other driver in Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) crash. We also have Willow taken off guard by Felicia Jones (Kristina Wagner) on Wednesday and she tells Willow she made an arrangement for Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) to start communicating.
Remember, Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Felicia were talking about Liz offering Willow some way for Drew to communicate and they thought it was strange she turned it down. And at this point it’s going to be hard for Willow to refuse.
We also have Scout Cain having scenes played by a one-day recast. Cossette Abinante wasn’t available to film that day and soon she’s going to get her rapid age-up recast.
General Hospital Spoilers: Rocco’s Discovery and July Sweeps Preview
So, we may see her with her dad, Drew, and maybe he’s communicating to Scout, but he really can’t lay all this out for her. Thursday, June 18th, Rocco is horrified when he finds Britt collapsed. So Rocco comes in and he finds Britt down on the floor of the cottage where they’re hiding. Looks like she’s completely unconscious. Rocco’s yelling, “No, no, no.” He runs to check on Britt. Then he makes a phone call asking for help. I suspect that Rocco may call Cassius because of events that unfold on Thursday and also because Britt is his sister. Meanwhile, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) tells Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) about his strategy.
Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) doesn’t want to know anything about Sonny’s plans to get rid of Sidwell and Cullum permanently. But I’m sure Ric’s happy to listen to Sonny’s murder plans when Ric’s not busy planning the party with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). I’m enjoying watching them bicker over Molly Lansing’s (Kristen Vaganos) big book launch event. Meanwhile, Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) sets a trap. He hates Lucas Jones (Van Hansis), so it might be Sidwell coming for him or Sonny or Laura or even Ava if he’s looking to get to her to ask for help.
General Hospital Spoilers: Dante Confides in Liz
Plus, Laura makes somebody an offer. We’ll see if it’s to help Lulu or Sonny. and Dante goes up to General Hospital to vent to Elizabeth. So Dante may be looking for advice or help or just a sounding board. Quick note, in a recent interview, Dominic Zamprogna, who plays Dante, seems really interested in Elizabeth and Dante being together. And at a fan event, he confirmed that there is no Lulu and Dante reunion ahead even after she finds out about Cassius.
Speaking of him on Friday, June 19th, Cassius has some information for Lulu. And this could be that Rocco has called Cassius because he remembers how much Cassius went to a lot of effort to protect him and because it’s his sister Britt who’s collapsed and he may think that Cassius knows something about her Huntington’s. So, Cassius may update Lulu. I do wonder if Rocco is going to give Cassius their location, which could be really dangerous.
General Hospital: Ethan’s Message and July Sweeps Begins
Ethan delivers a message to Ava. He may be trying to shut down her blackmail. And Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) is alarmed. Hopefully, Cullum doesn’t show up to tie off that loose end. It could be Carly coming to tell him about Cullum and the search warrant. I’m sure him showing up at her house could change Valentin’s plan to go see Z, like Brennan said, which would honestly be bad for them all.
Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) considers her next move. This may be about the music showcase or her problem parents. And Felicia offers somebody some encouragement. It may be Drew. You know, Willow may be unable to stop Felicia from coming to see him with the communication board. So, we’ll see if Willow has what she needs to blackmail Drew. If Brennan can’t get it, not yet. You know, Willow may be able to convince Drew that she has it anyway.
General Hospital Spoilers: Sidwell’s Getting Desperate for Revenge
Then the week of June 22nd through the 26, big stuff coming because on Thursday, June 25th, July sweeps kicks off, carries on through July 22nd. Sidwell’s getting desperate for revenge. He doesn’t want to walk away from all the big plans he’s made in Port Charles. And we have heard a rumor that Cullum is dead during July sweeps, and I will say yay to that.
Carly, of course, was horrified when Cullum searched her house, and we’ll find out the fallout from that. Meanwhile, Carly is sweating that Josslyn may be running out of time while she’s trapped at Wyndemere, presumably there with Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati). We know as viewers that they are together, but Carly is assuming Brennan needs to get out of Turning Woods before Cullum comes to finish him off and Sonny pushes forward with his plan to get rid of the villains.
Brooklyn continues with her scheme to discredit Willow and spread lies that she was the driver who left Jordan and Curtis for dead in a car crash. Brooklyn is honestly on a road to crash her own marriage. Time’s almost up for Willow with Drew and the Brook Lynn plot both. So, I think we’re going to see Willow facing big trouble in sweeps.
Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) is also back in sweeps and actor Dominic Zamprogna confirmed she will be back as police commissioner soon. And Lulu may take action if Cassius tells her Rocco reached out. And we’ll see what happens in the aftermath of Britt’s collapse. That is a signal that her Huntington’s is in a dire situation.
