Serving in more ways than one! Whitney Port is bringing back ’90s -inspired tennis fashion in a big way.

The Hills alum sat down with ET to dish on her sporty style and the beauty essentials she relies on for match-day while celebrating her co-designed capsule with Courting.

While tennis has become a major part of the reality star’s fitness regimen, looking cute on and off the court is what always scores points.

“I got more into playing in recent years. … I love that it’s both mental and physical. It forces you to be present, which I find really grounding,” she shares.

Putting a chic spin on vintage sportswear styles is also part of Port’s game.

“We wanted to bring back contrast, bold color, and a bit of experimentation from the ’90s. … It’s about mixing tones and playing with shape,” she notes.

Think classic silhouettes with an edge, from oversized proportions and fold-over waists to a standout Moto Jersey.

“The vibe is elevated sport with personality. … It feels confident and nostalgic,” she adds.

But when it comes to pre-match glam, the podcast host keeps things simple.

“I want to look fresh, not overdone. … I’m very into minimal beauty like glowy skin, brushed brows, and neutral lips.”

Her go-to tennis hairstyle choice is just as effortless.

“I love a sleek low pony or a braid. I’ll use a smoothing cream beforehand and make sure I have good hair ties that actually hold. Sometimes I’ll add a headband if I want to feel a little more styled. The key is keeping it secure so you’re not thinking about it mid-match,” she spills.

As for what’s in her tennis bag, Port says a few must-haves make the cut.

“I always have sunscreen, lip balm, a good water bottle, an extra hair tie, a snack, and a lightweight layer for after.”

Whether she’s hitting the court or rounding out her exercise routine with strength training and Pilates, staying active and positive is always the goal.

“I try to focus on workouts that make me feel strong and energized rather than depleted. At this stage in my life, it’s less about extremes and more about consistency and feeling good in my body,” she explains.

Mathew Knowles Clarifies Stunning Response He Gave When Asked About Tina Knowles’ Contributions To Destiny’s Child

On Wednesday, March 4, Page Six published an exclusive interview with Mathew Knowles, and the outlet questioned him about his now-viral sitdown with PIX 11 News anchor Kendis Gibson. Per the outlet, Mathew explained that he doesn’t “do interviews.” Instead, he has “conversations.”

“I didn’t know what he meant by that,” Mathew explained to Page Six, referring to his conversation with Kendis Gibson. “So, I’m saying, well, calmly, ‘What work did she put in?’ That was a question. I don’t know how it became a comment, but it was a question. If someone diminished what Tina does and just say, she did the hair, and then I come back and say, ‘No, she did the styling, isn’t that me giving flowers?”

Additionally, Mathew told the outlet that he’s “baffled” by the public reaction and the clip’s virality.

“You can’t even find a negative comment I’ve ever said about Tina. So, I don’t get it… People try to bait us all the time to be against each other. There was a complete misrepresentation here – and I’m evaluating all legal remedies at this time,” Mathew added, noting that he and Tina have a “wonderful relationship” and he doesn’t refer to her as his ex-wife. “That’s a negative term… I’ve never referred to Tina as my ex. I’m always positive. She’s my former wife, and I give her the respect of that rather than saying ex.”

Social Media Reacts

Social media users reacted to Mathew Knowles’ clarification of his comments about Tina Knowles’ contribution to Destiny’s Child in TSR’s comment section.

More On The Stunning Response Mathew Knowles Gave When Asked About Tina Knowles’ Contributions To Destiny’s Child

As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this week, a clip from Kendis Gibson’s recent sitdown with Mathew Knowles was released, and a portion showed Mathew’s response after Gibson asked Mathew about Tina’s contributions toward Destiny’s Child.

“You’ve earned your flowers. I said the same thing to Ms. Tina Knowles. You guys put in the work, and obviously the talent was there, with your kids and your grandkids,” Gibson said to Mathew.

In turn, Mathew responded with, “What work did she put in?”

After Gibson noted Tina’s contribution to the girls’ image and the project being a “joint effort,” Mathew called for the end of the interview.

Disney movies are often remembered more by their commercial success than by their storyline. When a release fails to meet expectations, it is quietly categorized as a miscalculation, and that label tends to follow it for years. Yet their reception is often shaped by timing. A film may not align with what audiences expect in a given decade. Even if a film doesn’t fit its era’s expectations, it can still be well‑made and meaningful.

With time, it becomes easier to understand what these films were attempting instead of how they were received. Most of the films experimented with darker tones or complex moral framing instead of relying on music or simplicity. In doing so, they unsettled viewers who associated Disney animation with emotional reassurance. Here are some of the films that have shown what the platform was capable of.

‘The Black Cauldron’ (1985)

In The Black Cauldron, Taran (Grant Bardsley) is introduced as a pig-keeper who believes heroism is something that can be claimed through ambition alone. When the Horned King (John Hurt) seeks a magical cauldron capable of raising an undead army, Taran attempts to protect the oracular pig Hen Wen. As Taran escapes captivity, he meets Princess Eilonwy (Susan Sheridan) and Fflewddur Fflam (Nigel Hawthorne) and forms an alliance with them.

As events intensify, Taran confronts the consequences of his earlier arrogance. The story reframes heroism as responsibility. When the cauldron demands a sacrifice to stop, Taran understands that courage often means surrendering your pride. The defeat of the Horned King does not come from strength alone, but from collective resolve. The narrative closes by suggesting that growth is often quiet and internal rather than publicly celebrated.

‘The Great Mouse Detective’ (1986)

The Great Mouse Detective follows Basil (Barrie Ingham), a detective whose confidence in deduction shapes his whole personality. When Olivia Flaversham (Susanne Pollatschek) asks Basil to locate her kidnapped father, Basil traces the crime to Professor Ratigan (Vincent Price), who intends to replace the Queen of Mousedom with a mechanical duplicate to seize political control.

Assisted by Doctor Dawson (Val Bettin), Basil analyzes clues, deciphers coded messages, and reconstructs all events through his observation. The investigation gradually becomes successful as he closes the distance between himself and Professor Ratigan. As Professor’s scheme moves forward, Basil’s pride nearly obstructs his clarity and forces him to reconsider all his previous assumptions. Doctor Dawson helps Basil to regain his composure and forget about his ego while seeking the truth. Eventually, Olivia reunites with her father, and the story tells us that in any circumstance, order is preserved through patience.

‘Atlantis: The Lost Empire’ (2001)

In Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Milo Thatch (Michael J. Fox) devotes his life to proving that Atlantis exists, despite being dismissed by academic institutions. When Commander Rourke (James Garner) leads an expedition funded to locate the city, Milo Thatch joins as the linguistic expert. After surviving mechanical dangers and natural barriers, the crew discovers Atlantis beneath the ocean’s surface. There, Milo Thatch meets Princess Kida (Cree Summer), who seeks to understand her civilization’s fading heritage.

As Milo Thatch learns the truth about Atlantis, he realizes that Commander Rourke intends to exploit the city’s energy source. Faced with betrayal, Milo Thatch chooses preservation, and the story gradually shifts to moral accountability. When Princess Kida risks becoming a vessel for the city’s power, Milo Thatch intervenes to protect both her and Atlantis.

‘Treasure Planet’ (2002)

Treasure Planet centers on Jim Hawkins (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), whose father’s absence shapes the distrust and restlessness he develops over time. When he discovers a map to a hidden fortune, Jim boards a voyage that is commanded by Captain Amelia (Emma Thompson). Among the crew is Long John Silver (Brian Murray), who gradually earns Jim Hawkins’ trust while concealing his own objective. Their expedition soon becomes a space-bound search for treasure, yet the emotional focus remains on Jim Hawkins’ evolving perception of authority.

As the ship approaches its destination, Long John Silver’s hidden alliances surface. Now, Jim must decide whether that betrayal confirms his cynicism towards life or challenges it. The story, in the end, showshow trust can exist even within deception and blur our decisions. In the final confrontation, Jim prevents any catastrophe and chooses integrity over resentment, and Long John Silver departs while acknowledging Jim’s growth. The treasure, however, becomes secondary to the transformation both of them faced that was shaped by mentorship and a clear choice.

‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ (1996)

In The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Quasimodo (Tom Hulce) lives confined in the cathedral tower under Judge Frollo’s (Tony Jay) authority. Judge Frollo presents isolation as protection in Quasimodo’s life, which shapes his understanding of himself. When he attends the Festival of Fools, he faces severe public humiliation that suddenly confirms how he has been shielded from cruelty all his life. Then, the story introduces Esmeralda (Demi Moore), who confronts both the crowd and Judge Frollo’s rigid morality.

As Judge Frollo’s obsession intensifies, Quasimodo begins to question his obedience towards him. The cathedral turns from a sanctuary into a contested ground. In the end, when Esmeralda faces punishment, Quasimodo finally chooses defiance over submission. The story resolves by allowing Quasimodo to step into public space, suggesting that dignity does not emerge from isolation.

When people think of the best decade for crime movies, they tend to think of the 70s and The Godfather, Chinatown, Serpico, and countless other classics, but the 90s shouldn’t be overlooked. The Godfather: Part III, Reservoir Dogs, Goodfellas, are all classics, and so is Martin Scorsese’s loving tribute to Las Vegas: Casino. The 1995 crime epic has returned to Netflix in time for another generation to discover the rise and fall and rise of the greatest adult playground. 

Casino Brings Las Vegas’ Sordid History To Life‘

Casino reunites Scorsese with Robert De Niro as Sam “Ace” Rothstein, based on the real Chicago mafia sports book handicapper Frank Rosenthal, who, against all odds, turned the Tangiers Casino into a money-printing success. Goodfellas standout, Joe Pesci, is also back for another round as Ace’s childhood friend turned business partner and mob enforcer, Nicky Santoro. It’s not a spoiler that the success and excess of the budding Vegas nightlife winds up turning the two lifelong friends into bitter rivals. Scorsese made a career out of the hubris of powerful men. This time, there’s a wildcard, Ginger, a former showgirl, now a con artist, played by Sharon Stone at the height of her Hollywood fame. 

Adapting the book, Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas by Nicholas Pileggi means the plot moves both incredibly fast, with time jumps and skipping over major life moments, and slow, with long, languid takes of the Tangiers floor or Nicky and Ace standing around looking pensive. Covering 13 years, 1973 to 1986, there’s a lot crammed into the runtime, including a love triangle, multiple betrayals, a kidnapping, and a brief foray into local broadcast television. Casino does more in thirty minutes than most modern films, but it’s also slower and more thoughtful, a tricky balancing act that only an auteur the likes of Scorsese could effectively pull off. 

They Don’t Make Them Like This Anymore

Considered either a spiritual successor to Goodfellas or an inferior attempt at recapturing the magic of the genre-defining film, Casino divided audiences upon its release. Critics thought it was a little too similar, and audiences torn between thinking it was boring or a fascinating look at the Mafia’s role in building Las Vegas. Sharon Stone won a Golden Globe for her work as Ginger and earned an Oscar nomination, yet even today, some viewers find her distracting and the worst part of the film. The Venn diagram between them and those who think Skylar is the worst part of Breaking Bad is a circle. 

Anyone would look inferior to Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci doing what they do best. Casino performed well for an adult-oriented, R-rated crime epic with a $116 million box office haul that was dwarfed by the film’s success on VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray. 30 years later, and there’s even a growing consensus that it’s better than Goodfellas. It’s not, but with its recent addition to Netflix you can at least fire it up and judge for yourself. 

If you’ve never seen Casino, you’ll still find yourself recognizing camera shots and moments from the film. The Hangover recreated Ace and Nicky’s desert meeting. Then there’s the pen, a brutal moment only topped by The Dark Knight’s pencil trick. In a world with less and less adult dramas being made and Mafia movies having to step aside for streaming series, Casino is a throwback, both to how movies used to be and to how Las Vegas was long before it lost its soul by going corporate. 

Casino is currently streaming on Netflix.

Chicago Fire’s Joe Cruz survived a near-death experience during the One Chicago crossover — and the aftermath will continue to haunt him this season.

Warning: Spoilers below from season 14, episode 13, of Chicago Fire and the One Chicago crossover.

“There’s an after effect of this [case] that kind of shifts a little bit [of] the perspective that a lot of these guys have,” Chicago Fire showrunner Andrea Newman exclusively told Us Weekly, referring to the traumatic experience Firehouse 51 endured during the Wednesday, March 4, crossover event.

Newman teased, “We’re working on an episode now that is where there’s a lot of ramifications for Cruz in particular, that he’s dealing with in terms of it. There’s ripples. They just keep going and going.”

During Wednesday’s three-part event titled “Reckoning Part I, II and III,” Firehouse 51 was among the first on the scene when a plane landed in Chicago after losing contact with the tower for more than an hour.

Once safely on the ground, two members of Squad 3, Cruz (Joe Miñoso), Capp (Randy Flagler), as well as two additional firefighters from different trucks, Macy Vasquez (Carlita Tucker) and a new guy named Holt, went into the plane to assess what was going on.

They found the entire plane, including the pilots, dead from an unknown cause. The severity of the deaths — many were foaming at the mouth — left everyone on edge.

“[In] 20 years on the job, I’ve never seen anything like that,” Cruz said when he exited the plane.

While Chicago P.D.’s Intelligence Unit tried to pinpoint the mystery murder weapon, Cruz and Capp began driving their rig to another location when, suddenly, they both started to seize and foam at the mouth.

It was later revealed that the other two firefighters — the first inside the plane — also showed symptoms and all four were transported into isolated rooms at Chicago Med’s Gaffney Chicago Medical Center.

The murder weapon was later identified as a toxin being smuggled into the city by a drug trafficker that accidentally burst while the carrier was on the plane, killing everyone. (One passenger did survive, but later died at the hospital.)

Without knowing the location of the other tablet of toxin — an assailant who blamed first responders for his family’s death in a fire that happened 25 years prior broke into the morgue and retrieved the deadly toxin — and an antidote, everyone’s lives hung in the balance, including Capp and Cruz.

Luckily for fans, both Cruz and Capp did survive after their police counterparts took down the bad guy, who planned to release more of the toxin at a firefighter’s memorial for maximum casualties.

Paramedic Lyla Novak (Jocelyn Hudon) also survived after being sprayed with blood while treating the sole plane survivor. The woman later died after Novak helped deliver her baby in the back of their ambulance.

Sadly, Macy and Holt didn’t make it, dying at the hospital before they could find an antidote to counteract their symptoms.

Moving forward, Newman told Us that danger is part of the job when you’re a first responder, adding that viewers shouldn’t expect to breathe easy watching the show — ever.

“I mean, they’re firefighters. Every day is a close call,” Newman said. “There’s no episode where the team is safe.”

Chicago Fire airs on NBC Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Have you ever watched a movie so shamelessly bizarre that your brain can’t even keep up with your eyeballs? 2022’s White Noise offers that experience, and I still can’t get over how much it has to say while also saying nothing at all. At its core, it’s a film about overcoming your fear of death, but it takes a long time to get there. What’s twisted about White Noise is how it delivers its message through melodrama and absurdity, each escalation met with perplexed glances and childlike curiosity.

I still don’t know what White Noise is about, but it makes you feel things, and it’s really funny. That’s all there really is to it. It’s a visceral experience that makes you laugh. The subject matter is heavy, but I found myself smiling more often than not while watching it.

Hitler, Elvis, And A Poisonous Cloud

Adam Driver is Jack Gladney in White Noise, the founder of a Hitler studies program at an Ohio university. Working at the same university, Don Cheadle’s Murray Siskind asks for Jack’s help developing a field of study based on his own burning passion project, Elvis studies. These guys basically rant about life, using their respective fields as a launching point for conversations about life, death, fame, and legacy. Jack doesn’t speak a lick of German, but he’s trying to teach himself because he’s slated to host a conference attended by a primarily German audience.

Jack’s family life in White Noise is chaotic to say the least. He and his fourth wife, Babette (Greta Gerwig), have four kids: two from Jack’s previous marriages, one from Babette’s, and one they conceived together. They love to eat chili chicken, and they’re all wrapped up in their own bizarre academic pursuits. When Babette’s daughter Denise (Raffey Cassidy) discovers that she’s taking an unlisted drug known as Dylar, Jack goes on heightened alert. He cares deeply about Babette and doesn’t want her keeping secrets from him. His concern comes from the right place, but he’s so wrapped up in his university job and German lessons that he can’t be everywhere at once.

Jack is also disturbed by strange dreams about a man talking about the fear of death, but he doesn’t have much time to dwell on them after a nearby train crash releases toxic waste, resulting in an Airborne Toxic Event that forces the entire community to quarantine at a local abandoned summer camp until it’s safe to return home. Jack, fearing he was exposed to the cloud, begins experiencing symptoms like deja vu and an overwhelming fear of his own mortality, while Babette sinks further into herself, using the mysterious drug as a way to cope with life.

More Vibe Than Substance

White Noise is one of those movies you just need to lean into when you’re feeling a little silly. It’s existential and will make you think about your own mortality. But it also features Adam Driver wearing Yoko Ono sunglasses while ranting about Hitler at a liberal arts college, with his students completely enthralled, unironically, by his enthusiasm. The Gladney kids are chaotic and always scheming, but they’re so well intentioned that you can’t help but love them. Everything about White Noise is dialed in to feel as unhinged as possible. You’ll feel things while taking it all in, but you’ll also be left confused, wondering what the hell you just watched.

If that’s the kind of viewing experience you’re looking for, you can stream White Noise on Netflix.

Rob Rausch is sharing an update on where he stands with ex Leah Kateb two years after they won over fans on Love Island USA.

During a Wednesday, March 4, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, the Traitors season 4 winner, 27, was quizzed about whether there’s a chance of a friendship with Leah, 26, with whom he was coupled up on Love Island USA season 6.

“I haven’t talked to Leah, like, since pretty much after the show, right after the show,” he said.

“It’s been a long time. I wish them the best, but probably not,” he added.

They got a text — and found love in the Love Island USA villa. The beloved British dating show made its way across the pond in 2019, following a crop of American bombshells searching for The One in a luxury tropical villa. In season 1, eventual winners Elizabeth Weber and Zac Mirabelli had a connection […]

Rob and Leah were instant favorites on Love Island USA season 6, but Rob ended things with Leah when Andrea Carmona entered the villa. He was ultimately eliminated from the show after 30 days.

While he didn’t find love on Love Island, Rob recently revealed that he has found love with a mystery woman, whose identity he is keeping private for now.

Rob shared during the Traitors season 4 reunion that he had been dating someone for “almost two months” and “[it’s] very fresh.”

Viewers also wondered if there was something between Rob and Maura Higgins, who was runner-up on the latest season of The Traitors.

“I’m not gonna ruin it for the viewers, but no, nothing ever happened between me and Rob,” Maura, 35, told Us Weekly in an exclusive cover interview recently. “I genuinely look at Rob like a brother. Literally nothing ever happened.”

“People online are saying I’m ‘d***matized.’ Believe me, you would know if I was d***matized. If they think that’s me flirting, then they do not know me and they have never watched me on Love Island,” she added.

Rob told Us, “We did not [hook up], and we will not. We are just friends. I’m touching the chair [in a viral scene from The Traitors season 4], not her leg!”

Rob took home the $220,800 grand prize during the Traitors season 4 finale but consoled Maura by offering to buy her a Birkin bag, which he gifted her on Watch What Happens Live.

“He told me he’s going to get me a gift, which is going to be a Birkin handbag. So when he gets that, then he’s fully forgiven,” Maura previously told Us. “For me, a girl that has not watched Traitors, not one episode of Traitors, I got to the finale, and yeah, I didn’t win, but I got to wear all my outfits. And if I get that Birkin handbag from Rob, then for me, I have won. That’s all I need.”
