New details have continued to emerge amid the disappearance of Today show coanchor Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie.

News broke on February 1 that Nancy, 84, had been reported missing by a family member who called 911. She was last seen one day prior by daughter Annie Guthrie. (Nancy shared daughters Annie and Savannah, 54, and son Camron with late husband Charles Guthrie, who died in 1988 after a heart attack.)

While Savannah has been absent from the morning show amid the search for Nancy, she and her siblings have since shared several statements via social media.

“It’s been two weeks since our mom was taken and I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope and we still believe and I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is, that it’s never too late,” Savannah said in an emotional Instagram video on February 15. “And you’re not lost or alone. And it is never too late to do the right thing and we are here. And we believe and we believe in the essential goodness of every human being. And it’s never too late.”

Ransom Note Mentions Nancy Guthrie’s Apple Watch

After news broke of an alleged ransom note sent to local outlets, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings addressed the message.

“As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” she said in a February 4 Instagram video. “We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”

Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke shared in a press conference the next day that the alleged ransom note made a demand for 5 p.m. and included an alternate date.

“I think we start to look at what the deadlines were in the note,” Janke said on February 5. “First, I think [it] was 5 p.m. today, and then it had a second deadline after that. So we are continuing in a normal kidnapping case, there would be contact by now trying to discuss that. But those are the time frames we’re looking at as we move forward.”

“If a transfer wasn’t made, then I think a second demand was for next Monday,” Janke continued. “We’re not going to go beyond that.”

Janke mentioned that the ransom note mentioned Nancy’s Apple Watch and a damaged floodlight on her property outside of Tucson. TMZ founder Harvey Levin on February 5 that the outlet received a ransom note that made mention of “the placement of the Apple Watch,” which he noted “has not come out” in the press as yet.

“There was a deadline at 5 o’clock today, and there is a change in — if this is a kidnapper — what the kidnapper may want,” Levin told CNN’s Erin Burnett, adding that a second deadline, set for February 9, “is far more consequential.”

“It felt like somebody means business. When you read it, it’s very detailed,” he said, explaining that the email described Nancy as being “OK, but scared” and said she was “aware of the letter and the demands” made in it.

Levin claimed that “the letter says you will have no way of contacting me — this is the only contact.” In another interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Levin shared, “It specifically says there will be no further communication … no negotiation, no communication.”

After the 5 p.m. deadline on February 5, Camron made a video and said, “Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly. We need you to reach out and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first, we have to know if you have our mom. We want to talk to you and we are waiting for contact.”

Savannah Guthrie and Siblings Agree to ‘Pay’ After Ransom Note

Local news outlet KOLD said it received a second message in connection with Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.

“The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a statement via X on February 6. “Investigators are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity.”

“While this is one new piece of information, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department are still asking anyone with tips to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI,” Nanos’ latest statement continued. “The FBI continues to offer a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.”

The next day, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings then released a video appearing to address the note.
“We received your message and we understand,” Savannah said. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”

Ransom Note Says ‘Time Is More Than Relevant’

A third ransom note obtained by TMZ appeared to be from someone offering information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. The note claimed to have unsuccessfully reached Savannah Guthrie and her siblings by email and text. The alleged message read, “If they want the name of the individual involved then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant.”

Ransom Note Claims to Have Seen Nancy Guthrie ‘Days Ago’

TMZ obtained a fourth email on February 16 from the person climbing to know who kidnapped Nancy Guthrie. The alleged email read, “I know what I saw 5 days ago south of the border and I was told to shut up so I know who he is and that was definitely Nancy with them.” The message also had the same Bitcoin account as the three previous ransom notes.

Ransom Note Described as ‘Graphic and Chilling’

Days after the fourth ransom note, TMZ reportedly received another requesting millions of dollars in cryptocurrency. However, the note received on February 18 demanded to be paid in a cryptocurrency besides Bitcoin.

“It is a really sophisticated note. I had to get someone to help translate it for me. It involves a demand for crypto — not Bitcoin,” TMZ founder Harvey Levin told CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront at the time, explaining that the demands are more specific. “The money will automatically go into this account if certain things happen. It actually involves the media, too, in terms of what the media puts out. But it’s a very sophisticated way of doing it where one thing triggers another, [which] triggers another. It’s beyond my level of knowledge.”

Levin described the note as “a little more graphic and chilling,” adding, “The previous one was also pretty chilling, but the way this is described is more so.”

When asked if the new note contains proof of life, Levin replied, “By inference, they do. They don’t say it directly, but by inference, they do, in terms of consequences.” Levin claimed that the FBI is looking into the note.

New Details Revealed From 1st Alleged Nancy Guthrie Ransom Note

In July 2026, journalist Briana Whitney read from the first alleged ransom note during an episode of the “Crime Junkie” podcast.

“Hello, Savannah. We have your mother, Nancy,” it began. “She is safe but scared. She will be held for ransom, and once payment is received, she will be released unharmed. We will be holding her for a maximum of seven days.”

The alleged note demanded millions of dollars in U.S. currency, providing two deadlines.

“Once payment is received to the Bitcoin address below, she will be released within 12 hours of deposit to a safe drop off location back in Tucson,” it continued. “If the payment is not received by the last deadline on Monday the 9th at 5 p.m., she will be killed.”

The alleged letter went on to issue Savannah a warning, claiming, “Your mother is aware of this and her life is in your hands. It is in the best interest of everyone to have this completed as soon as possible. You will not be able to contact me from here on out. There will be no negotiation. Do not play games. Law enforcement will not be able to help you.”

The note allegedly concluded with details about Nancy’s home, including that she “had a white smartwatch that was on the floor near her bed, like at the foot of her bed” and “that there was this floodlight that was destroyed in the backyard.” Whitney claimed at the time that the FBI was still investigating whether the note was real.

Nancy Guthrie Ransom Notes Released by Pima County Sheriff’s Department

In a July 2026 press release, PCSD released two ransom notes sent to local and national news outlets shortly after Nancy’s disappearance. The first was the same one read by Whitney earlier in the month. According to PCSD, it was sent to KOLD-TV 13 News, a local CBS affiliate in Tucson, Arizona, on February 2.

The second ransom note shared by PCSD was sent to KOLD on February 6 and addressed to the “Guthrie Family.”

“We did not fully grasp the seriousness of her physical condition,” the note read. “We never intended to hurt her, that was not our intention. She perished shortly after she was taken. We believe it was heart-related. She is buried in nature now. Nothing you could have done could have changed the outcome. We want your family to know this and hope you all can find peace. We are truly sorry.”

The PCSD asked the public for assistance in identifying the author of the notes.

“These communications reveal distinctive patterns of word choice, syntax, and phraseology that reflect the writer’s unique linguistic style,” the press release read. “They also provide valuable insight into the person’s mindset, motives and the evolution of their tone over time.”

The department added that they believe the notes’ “distinctive linguistic characteristics may be recognizable to someone who knows or has interacted with the notes’ writer. A friend, family member, coworker, classmate, or acquaintance may recognize these patterns of expression and possess information that could help identify the individual responsible.”

Ariana Grande‘s fans are crying out in concern after her latest music video has them believing she has gone too far with her weight loss.

The beloved pop singer has faced body issues since the start of her career as a child and entertainer, often fighting back against unsolicited comments about her physical appearance.

Grande, who is currently on tour, also has her love life sparking chatter after reuniting with her ex, Ricky Alvarez.

On Friday, Grande blessed her fanbase with the music video of her hit song, “Petal,” off her newly released eighth studio album. However, rather than focus on the message of the visuals, admirers of the songstress broke out in lament over her health. 

In the almost seven-minute-long clip where the pop star changed numerous times, Grande appeared super slim, perhaps underweight, with her ribs and clavicle evidently on display. 

 Fans wasted no time addressing her weight loss journey, calling for those around her to intervene before it gets too bad. 

“Bro, this is so sad. She’s one of our generation’s biggest talents, and we’re all just watching her die right in front of our eyes,” one fan penned. Another shared a similar sentiment, writing, “This poor woman is fading away before our eyes.”

This user, describing the “POV” artist’s state as “deeply unwell,” expressed worries about her inner circle. “I wish the people around her are taking care of her,” they stated.

Others noted that Grande might interpret the backlash as judgment, but instead, fans just want her to take proper care of herself and not fall victim to beauty standards.

Ariana Grande Is Done With The Way She Used To Be In ‘Petal’

Despite the focus on her looks, Grande’s message about no longer dealing with people’s expectations of her was clear as day in the music video.

In “Petal,” she stars as the character Pepper, who arrives at the Hollywood Walk of Fame to audition to get her big break. A flower is seen on one star, growing. However, when she appears in front of the execs, they dismiss her as “not good enough.”

With each rejection, Grande’s Pepper tries again to audition, and every time she is turned down by the group of men. Symbolic of the title, each time she is denied, the petal from the beginning withers. 

In one scene, the men unload on Pepper after a failed audition, telling her, “You give off this feeling that is… It’s unmarketable.” Another said to her, “The way you used to be, I miss that. You got some personality disorder going on?”

Pushed to the limit by their criticism, Grande transforms into a darker version as the scene turns red and she picks up a chainsaw to hack away at the men. Once she’s done, Pepper walks into the waiting area to cheers from other women, after which she heads to a restaurant.

While there, a bloodied Pepper unveils a fortune cookie note with the words, “You bloom wherever you are planted.”

The video, which has garnered almost 3 million views in less than 24 hours, was directed by Christian Breslauer, per People Magazine.

The Singer Gave An Emotional Reminder About Body Shaming

While Grande is yet to address the recent wave of comments, she is no stranger to responding when her body is being dissected.

Last November, the “Wicked” actress took to social media to shut down haters lovingly by resurfacing a previous 2024 interview where she advised caution about discussing people’s appearance.

“I’ve heard every version of it — of what’s wrong with me. And then you fix it, and then it’s wrong for different reasons,” an emotional Grande said as she fought back tears.

As reported by The Blast, she concluded, asserting her new practice is not to pay attention to trolls, as her body was never meant for public consumption.

New Song Lyrics Fuel Frenzy About Ricky Alvarez Romance

When Grande’s physical appearance isn’t making headlines, her love life certainly gets tongues wagging.

The Nickelodeon alum has been riding Cupid’s wave after rekindling things with her ex-boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez, earlier this month following her split from co-star Ethan Slater.

The feeling was obvious in the song “Bad Thing (Bunny Hop),’ off her new album released on July 31. As reported by The Blast, in the lyrics, Grande gushed about “a real good boyfriend” and declares, “let’s do it twice,” seemingly referencing her dynamic with Alvarez.

Ariana Grande Sues Over Alleged Music Hack

As she continues to share her innermost life with fans through her music, the vocalist isn’t taking it easy on those who try to depreciate her art by leaking it.

According to The Blast, Grande filed a major lawsuit against over 100 persons, accusing them of repeated cyberattacks leading to theft and unlicensed distribution of videos, unreleased songs, private photos, and more belonging to her.

The 33-year-old is seeking relief from the plaintiffs as well as offering a warning to others in the act, urging them to desist.

Paul “PK” Kemsley fired back at estranged wife Dorit Kemsley’s claims that her contract for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills can explain her so-called “excessive” spending habits.

“Her contract does not state any requirement to update and maintain her wardrobe, make up and hair as a condition for her employment,” PK, 58, alleged in new court documents filed Thursday, July 30, and obtained by Us. “[Her] contention that she must purchase high clothing and related accessories to appear on this television show is not supported by any agreement or contract requiring such expenditures.”

He claims that from December 28, 2024, through June 28, 2025, Dorit, 50, returned $86,000 in retail purchases but spent $909,000 over 14 months ending February 28, 2026.

“[PK] contends that the amount [Dorit] spends on her wardrobe is excessive, as there is no requirement in her contract to purchase hundreds of thousands of dollars of high clothing and accessories,” as stated in the court papers.

Dorit Kemsley is accusing her estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, of having nefarious intent while attempting to sell their family home amid the pair’s ongoing divorce. In court documents obtained by Us on Monday, July 27, Dorit, 50, alleged that PK, 58, is trying to “egregiously misuse Family Code 2108” in an attempt to “side-step […]

The talent manager is also denying Dorit’s recent motion stipulating that he allegedly failed to cover the mortgage on their family home and other household expenses following their separation.

“[Dorit] does not contend that the [home] should not be sold, but rather only disputes the timing and conditions in terms of the sale which she maintains should be by mutual agreement,” PK’s filing states. “She does not contend that she has the financial ability to maintain the home and she does not acknowledge that she has any obligation to pay for the residence that she exclusively occupies.”

In a court motion filed earlier this week, Dorit accused PK of trying to “egregiously misuse Family Code 2108” in an attempt to “side-step trial” and continue to allegedly avoid making mortgage payments. She also claimed that PK promised to pay their family’s bills after he moved out of their shared home in 2024 in lieu of child support. (Family Code 2108 allows a family court during a divorce to order the sale or liquidation of community property assets to prevent a bad financial loss or high investment risk.)

She also claimed that PK promised to pay their family’s bills after he moved out of their shared home in 2024 in lieu of child support.

Dorit had reported her income, as prepared by her accountant, as $45,748 per month and claimed that the mortgage payments total more than she makes. PK, for his part, alleges her calculations are incorrect, claiming that Dorit is also “significantly overstating” his cash flow.

“Despite [her] contentions to the contrary, [PK] has provided support to [her] in the form of paying expenses, which include the first and second mortgages on the home, utilities, the house manager, nannies, homeschool teachers, private school, tuition, and her car lease for several months,” the filing reads, with PK’s attorneys claiming that he paid $300,000 for the home mortgages, an additional $420,000 for arrearages, $540,000 for household staff payroll and $57,000 for their family’s health insurance premiums, in addition to covering his kids’ private school tuition.

PK’s team alleges on Thursday that Dorit hasn’t made any payment for the mortgages and only covered certain costs for utilities and staff payroll.

“[She] prioritizes the purchase of wardrobe, makeup and hair in order to appear on the RHOBH and spends substantially in excess of any reasonable amounts for those items rather than prioritizing the payment of expenses for herself, [their] minor children, or the residence she exclusively occupies,” according to the documents.

Dorit and PK, who share two children, separated in May 2024, one year before the Bravo star filed for divorce. The estranged couple have since gone back-and-forth in court about finances.

Dorit, who has not addressed PK’s legal accusations, previously defended her spending habits.

“I can tell you that what’s been put out there is not entirely accurate,” the Unburdened author exclusively told Us in June. “However, now it’s going to be more headlines, because I have to come back with what the reality is. It’s just a snowball. As far as his opinions on what I spent — whether it’s $50,000, $1 million, $25 — it’s money that I’ve earned. I’m supporting our children.”

She continued, “I had asked him from pretty much the get-go for us to sit down and to discuss things and work it out together. In marriage, he was taking care of the finances and the bills. He was making decisions, and there was not a lot of transparency. … That led to a lot of unfortunate circumstances. I think if one person is looking to paint someone in a bad way, or create a false narrative, they’re going to do various things that they don’t work out for anyone,” she said. “I really hope that we can eventually move away from that and into better times.”

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has released two ransom notes sent to local and national news outlets in connection with the disappearance of Today show host Savannah Guthrie‘s mother, Nancy Guthrie.

“These communications reveal distinctive patterns of word choice, syntax, and phraseology that reflect the writer’s unique linguistic style,” read a press release shared via X on Friday, July 31. “They also provide valuable insight into the person’s mindset, motives and the evolution of their tone over time.”

The department noted that they believe the notes’ “distinctive linguistic characteristics may be recognizable to someone who knows or has interacted with the notes’ writer. A friend, family member, coworker, classmate, or acquaintance may recognize these patterns of expression and possess information that could help identify the individual responsible.”

The first note — which was sent to KOLD-TV 13 News, a local CBS affiliate in Tucson, Arizona, on February 2, one day after Nancy, 84, was reported missing — is addressed to Savannah, 54.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is weighing in on the latest ransom notes making headlines in the ongoing search for Today coanchor Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie. “I think the FBI has done a number of arrests for false or fake ransom notes,” Nanos shared during a Friday, June 26, appearance on Arizona radio station […]

“We have your mother, Nancy. She is safe but scared,” the note read. “She will be held for ransom, and once payment is received, she will be released unharmed. We will be holding her for a maximum of 7 days.”

The alleged kidnappers instructed Savannah to send “Bitcoin in the amount of $4 million USD before 5 p.m. on Thursday, [February 5].”

“If payment is not received, the ransom will be increased to $6 million USD, which will need to be paid by 5 p.m. on Monday, [February 9],” the note continued. “Once payment is received to the Bitcoin address below, she will be released within 12 hours of deposit to a safe drop-off location back in Tucson.”

The note warned that Nancy would be “killed” if payment was not received by the second deadline.

“Your mother is aware of this, and her life is in your hands. It is in the best interest of everyone to have this completed as soon as possible. You will not be able to contact me from here on out, there will be no negotiation. Do not play games, law enforcement will not be able to help you,” the note concluded.

Activity was detected in a Bitcoin account mentioned in ransom notes allegedly connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, multiple outlets report. TMZ and local Tucson, Arizona, news outlet KGUN 9, both of which received ransom notes following Nancy’s February 1 disappearance, reported noticing activity in the account on Tuesday, February 10. KGUN said the […]

“We know there are individuals familiar with this unidentified male who may have observed changes in his behavior around the timeframe of the videos,” the press release stated before listing signs to look out for, including “a change in mood or displays of anxiety, nervousness or irritability, a change of physical appearance: hair color or cut, growth or removal of facial hair, etc., unexplained injuries (cuts on hands, bruises, etc.) during the period Nancy was last seen, normal routine changes (missing work, classes or appointments), sudden departures from the area around the time of her disappearance, vehicle cleaning, or repairs, unexplained interest or disinterest in Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood and noticeable intense interest or disinterest in the investigation or an unexplained knowledge of the situation.”

The statement concluded, “In some cases, there are times when people who may have knowledge initially do not come forward. This may be due to their close relationships with those who might be involved as well as a concern for their own safety, reputation, or standing in the community and amongst their friends. We recognize relationships and loyalties change over time, as do people and their perspectives. It is not too late to come forward. Regardless of how insignificant you think your information may be, or whether you think we are already aware of it, please contact us.”

Nancy was last confirmed to be at her residence in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood in Tucson on the evening of January 31. She is believed to have been taken from her home in the early hours of February 1.

It has been one blow after another for Sid Wilson, whose turbulent year has taken another dramatic turn following reports that the longtime Slipknot DJ has been pushed out of the band.

The alleged professional split comes roughly four months after reports claimed Wilson and fiancée Kelly Osbourne ended their engagement, adding to what has become a challenging period in both his personal and career life.

Sid Wilson joined Slipknot in 1999 as one of the band’s original members after famously proving he was “crazy” enough to earn a place in the lineup.

Sid Wilson’s long tenure with Slipknot has reportedly come to an abrupt end after claims emerged that the musician is no longer part of the heavy metal band he helped build from the ground up.

According to sources, Wilson was informed late Friday that he had been permanently removed as the group’s DJ and keyboardist. While the reason behind the decision remains unclear, the reported exit marks the end of a run that began in 1999, when Wilson joined as one of Slipknot’s nine original members.

The reported departure also makes Wilson the latest founding member to leave the band, following the exits of Craig Jones and Chris Fehn, as well as the deaths of Joey Jordison and Paul Gray. At the time of publication, neither Wilson nor Slipknot had publicly addressed the reported split, per TMZ.

A Wild First Impression That Changed Everything

Long before reports of his departure surfaced, Wilson had become one of Slipknot’s defining members through an unforgettable first impression. Although he had already been rehearsing with the band and developing ideas, Wilson once admitted that joining the group was never simply a formality.

The musician recalled wanting to see Slipknot perform live before committing, despite repeatedly hearing how wild the band was on stage. According to Wilson, the members kept insisting they were “crazy,” but he believed he was just as fearless and wanted the chance to prove it.

That opportunity arrived during one of the band’s early performances, setting the stage for a moment that would ultimately change Wilson’s future with Slipknot.

Sid Wilson’s Audition Became Slipknot Legend

Wilson recalled sensing percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan heading straight toward him during a chaotic performance of “Tattered And Torn.”

Rather than backing away, the DJ rushed into the crowd, climbed over fans, and met Crahan face-to-face before grabbing him and repeatedly headbutting him.

The shocking exchange ended with Crahan reportedly pushing Wilson away before declaring, “I don’t give a shit what anybody says, that guy’s in the band.”

The moment instantly convinced the group that Wilson fit the intensity and unpredictability that defined Slipknot’s identity, according to NME.

Looking back, the story became one of the band’s most memorable origin tales, illustrating just how unconventional Wilson’s path into Slipknot really was.

The Band’s Drummers Left Lasting Impressions

Years after earning his place in Slipknot, Wilson reflected on the musicians who helped shape the band’s sound, reserving especially high praise for late founding drummer Joey Jordison.

The DJ described Jordison as “the best that ever did it,” recalling how respected the drummer was among fellow musicians and how effortlessly he could master virtually any song.

Wilson also remembered a festival performance where Jordison stepped in for Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich, saying the late musician was able to learn and perform the band’s set with remarkable ease.

As reported by VICE, Wilson believed Jordison constantly pushed himself because he always felt he had something to prove, a mindset that made him one of the greatest drummers he had ever seen.

The praise continued for current drummer Eloy Casagrande, whom Wilson described as “a fresh breath of air” for Slipknot, adding that the band had not truly felt like it was starting a new chapter until Casagrande arrived.

Notably, Wilson did not mention former drummer Jay Weinberg while reflecting on the group’s history, despite Weinberg spending nearly a decade with the band before his unexpected departure.

Sid Wilson And Kelly Osbourne Faced Personal Heartbreak Before Latest Professional Setback

Months before reports emerged that Wilson had been removed from Slipknot, the musician was also dealing with changes in his personal life.

Reports in March claimed that Kelly Osbourne and Wilson had quietly ended their engagement after facing relationship challenges following the death of Ozzy Osbourne. According to reports, the couple, who share a son, reportedly tried to make the relationship work but ultimately chose to separate.

Sources also claimed Osbourne had been navigating an especially difficult period while grieving the loss of her father, even as concerns about her dramatic weight loss continued to draw public attention, Page Six reported.

Although neither development has been publicly linked, the reported breakup and now the end of Wilson’s long run with Slipknot mark two major turning points within months of each other.

After losing both a longtime relationship and a place in the band that helped define a career, what comes next for Sid Wilson?

After years of delays, rewrites, and uncertainty surrounding Marvel Studios’ long troubled Blade reboot, Mahershala Ali has finally addressed the project’s cancellation in his most candid comments yet.

Speaking with GQ while promoting his new film Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother, Ali made it clear that he’s no longer dwelling on the failed Marvel project and has found peace with how everything unfolded.

“If they wanted to do it, we would’ve done it,” Ali told GQ. “So I have to move on, and I have moved on.”

The Oscar winner was first announced as Marvel’s new Blade during San Diego Comic Con in 2019, a reveal that instantly became one of the MCU’s biggest casting announcements. However, after multiple directors departed, several writers took over the screenplay, and the film was repeatedly delayed, Marvel ultimately shelved the project. Earlier this month, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige admitted he felt “like a gigantic loser and a failure” that the film never came together.

Despite the disappointment, Ali says the experience wasn’t a complete loss.

“The best way I can answer this question is, when I look at what is for me, is it was either this or that and I’ll take this. No offense to them,” Ali explained. “I’ve been doing this professionally for pushing 30 years now, and one thing I’ve learned is that what is for you is for you and what is not is not.”

Mahershala Ali Blade Concept

Instead of starring as Marvel’s vampire hunter, Ali reunited with former Blade director Bassam Tariq to create the original action drama Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. The actor believes the film ultimately became a more rewarding creative experience than the Marvel reboot could have been.

“When I look at this and Blade, I couldn’t have done both,” Ali said. “The reason this even exists is because that project fell apart… I was able to use those skills that I had been working on for over a year training for Blade. In that way, I feel creatively redeemed on some level.”

Ali also acknowledged that the first teaser for the new film intentionally included him wielding a sword, something many fans viewed as a nod to the character they never got to see him play.

“I’m glad we were able to satisfy that and kind of move on,” he said, adding that while audiences may have expected a big budget superhero spectacle, the smaller scale project allowed them to tell a much deeper and more personal story.

As for whether fans should continue asking him about Marvel’s canceled reboot, Ali made his position perfectly clear.

“I’m good,” he said with a laugh. “Again, you had me under contract, they have billions of dollars, if they wanted to do the movie, we would’ve done the movie. So we’re not doing the movie… I feel ready to move on from the Blade questions. Those questions are for them. They didn’t want to do it, so they should answer that question.”

For many Marvel fans, Ali’s comments offer long awaited closure on one of the MCU’s most infamous canceled projects. While his version of Blade never made it to the big screen, the actor has made it clear he’s looking ahead, not back.

French horror films like Irréversible, Inside, High Tension, and Frontier(s), etc., are famous for their early surrealist shockers, stylish psychological thrillers, and the intense, graphic movement known as New French Extremity. This Pascal Laugier’s 2008 film, in spirit, falls right alongside those titles and is returning in separate standard-edition 4K UHD and Blu-ray releases in the UK right before Halloween. And while it’s a dedicated UK release, 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays are region-free and compatible with all 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray players.

There are spooky films, and then there are deeply disturbing, psychological horror films from this transgressing sub-genre, so if you haven’t watched it before, consider this a heads-up that it’s not nearly as festive as your next-door Michael Myers or Fargo Season 5-ish dark comedy scare around Halloween. This is intense and goes far beyond.

The film’s title is Martyrs, and it is now available for pre-order (it’ll be available starting October 19, 2026). The premise follows Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï), a traumatized young woman seeking revenge on her childhood torturers, and her friend Anna (Morjana Alaoui), who uncovers a secret society torturing victims to glimpse the afterlife, and it simply doesn’t get more intense than that. During an interview, Laugier once went on to share his sentiments about Martyrs in the following words:

“It is almost a work of prospective fiction that shows a dying world, almost like a pre-apocalypse. It’s a world where evil triumphed a long time ago, where consciences have died out under the reign of money and where people spend their time hurting one another. It’s a metaphor, of course, but the film describes things that are not that far from what we’re experiencing today.”

This Isn’t the First Time ‘Martyrs’ Has Become Available in This Restored Format

Pascal Laugier’s 2008 film is returning in 4K UHD and Blu-ray through Eureka Entertainment’s Masters of Cinema, and it’s not the restoration’s first release. Eureka’s now-discontinued limited dual-format edition originally debuted in October 2025, but now, a year later, this repacking comes without the collector packaging, uses a 4K restoration from the original camera negative with Dolby Vision/HDR, original French 5.1 and stereo audio, and newly revised English subtitles.

But it’s not just that. There is extra footage that includes but isn’t limited to the production from several useful angles, including Mylène Jampanoï’s performance, Benoît Lestang’s effects, the film’s place in New French Extremity, its body-horror language, Laugier’s intentions about what he wanted the film to be like, and the feature-length making-of documentary Organic Chronicles, which is an archival, behind-the-scenes take directed by Matthieu Desport about the making of Martyrs.

Martyrs is now available for pre-order. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Spanish actress Ester Expósito has pushed back against growing speculation surrounding her private life and rumored connection to France and Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé. The 26-year-old also warned that she may take legal action against those spreading damaging claims.

The gossip about the pair being potentially involved with each other has persisted despite neither celebrity commenting on their relationship status.

Ester Expósito has broken her silence after weeks of online speculation about her personal life and her rumored relationship with Kylian Mbappé. Without naming any specific reports, the “Elite” actress accused social media users and some outlets of spreading “false and defamatory” claims that have damaged her reputation.

In a strongly worded statement, Expósito said the stories were fabricated to “distort a story between two people” and attack her dignity. She warned that she is now prepared to pursue legal action against anyone responsible for publishing or amplifying defamatory content.

Speculation about the status of their relationship intensified after the World Cup, with some reports claiming the pair had hit a rough patch. However, Expósito made it clear that freedom of expression does not give anyone the right to spread baseless accusations.

Mbappé And Expósito Have Never Confirmed Romance

Rumors surrounding Mbappé and Expósito first gained traction in March after the pair were reportedly spotted together during a weekend in Paris. Spanish media claimed they enjoyed dinner overlooking the Eiffel Tower before spending the evening at a nightclub. They were later photographed arriving in Madrid on Mbappé’s private jet.

The reported Paris getaway wasn’t the only sighting that caught fans’ attention, however. According to various outlets, the pair had allegedly met weeks earlier for a private dinner at Tatel Madrid shortly after Valentine’s Day. Neither Mbappé nor Expósito has addressed the reports, and neither has ever confirmed they are romantically involved.

Kylian Mbappé And Ester Expósito Stepped Out Together After World Cup

Mbappé and Expósito appeared to take their rumored romance into more public territory after the 2026 World Cup. The pair were spotted dining at La Girafe in Paris before shopping together along Avenue Montaigne days later.

Their outings followed reported time together in Miami and earlier sightings on a yacht in Ibiza. Expósito was also seen supporting Mbappé during the tournament, while the Real Madrid star briefly posted an image of her wearing his France jersey and captain’s armband before deleting it.

Despite the radio silence pertaining to their relationship status, their latest outings suggest the famously private pair may be becoming more comfortable being seen together.

Inside Ester Expósito’s Dating History

Long before she was linked to Mbappé, Expósito dated Uruguayan actor Nico Furtado for about two years before the pair quietly split in 2023, with reports attributing the breakup to demanding work schedules that kept them apart. Neither actor publicly addressed the end of their relationship.

Before Furtado, Expósito was romantically involved with Mexican actor Alejandro Speitzer after the two met while filming “Someone Has to Die.” Their relationship became public through social media in 2020 but reportedly ended the following year without either confirming the split. She also previously dated her “Elite” co-star Álvaro Rico, whom she met on the Netflix series that launched her career.

Ester Expósito Has Become One Of Spain’s Biggest Global Stars

Expósito has come a long way since her breakout role as Carla Rosón in Netflix’s “Élite.”

After starring in the hit series for three seasons, the Madrid-born actress expanded into multiple other screen projects, including “Someone Has to Die,” “Veneno,” “Bandidos,” “Lost in the Night,” and “The Talent.”

Away from the screen, Expósito has also established herself as one of Spain’s most recognizable fashion figures. She has worked with luxury brands including Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, Bvlgari, and Dolce & Gabbana, and has been the global ambassador of Desigual since 2025.

Her career continues to gain momentum, with Prime Video’s “Drawn Together” set to debut later this year following her recent International Golden Nymph Award for Most Promising Talent at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival. At the same time, the actress boasts more than 24 million Instagram followers.  Expósito also remains a regular fixture at Paris Fashion Week and other major industry events.

Katy Perry has sparked fireworks with Justin Trudeau.

The “Roar” singer and the former Canadian prime minister were first spotted out to dinner together in Montreal, Canada, in July 2025, just days before Trudeau attended Perry’s Lifetimes Tour stop in the city. A source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time that their outing was “definitely” a date, but it was “casual.”

The couple made their first major public appearance on October 25, 2025, with a date at Crazy Horse Paris for Perry’s 41st birthday. She and Trudeau all but confirmed their relationship by holding hands while walking out of the club.

Perry’s romance with Trudeau comes after her broken engagement to Orlando Bloom in June 2025. The exes share daughter Daisy and had been together since 2016. Meanwhile, Trudeau split from ex-wife Sophie Trudeau in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. The two share kids Xavier, Ella-Grace and Hadrien.

Katy Perry has seemingly broken her silence on her rumored romance with Justin Trudeau by way of a cheeky joke at a London concert. “London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school?” Perry, 40, said during her Lifetimes World Tour concert at […]

Keep scrolling for Perry and Trudeau’s complete relationship timeline:

July 2025

Perry and Justin were first spotted on a walk in Montreal’s Mount Royal Park with her dog on July 28, 2025. That night, the pair went to dinner at the restaurant Le Violon.

Two days later, Justin was seen attending Perry’s sold-out concert at Belle Centre in Montreal.

A source exclusively confirmed to Us that the pair’s dinner was “definitely a date” but “casual.”

“They had been in touch for the last month and have a few mutuals in the music industry,” the insider added.

September 2025

An insider exclusively shared an update on the couple on September 15, 2025, telling Us, “They’ve decided to be much more private about it. They are still speaking and are very interested in each other.”

A second insider said the relationship “isn’t serious” because of Perry’s busy tour schedule.

“Katy is taking it day by day but is very open to dating,” the source added.

October 2025

Perry and Justin packed on the PDA with kisses and cuddles while enjoying a yacht trip off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, on October 11, 2025.

Two days later, Perry seemingly joked about the end of her relationship with Bloom and moving on with Trudeau during her Lifetimes Tour stop in London.

“London, England, you’re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school?” she said. “No wonder I fall for Englishmen all the time … but not anymore.”

Elsewhere at the concert, she hinted that she was in a new relationship when a fan proposed to her.

“You heard I’m single? That’s interesting,” she told the fan. After he got down on one knee and proposed to Perry with a large sign, she responded, “Are you kidding me? Not today! You know, you really should have asked me about 48 hours ago.”

Justin Trudeau is seeing fireworks when it comes to Katy Perry. The former Canadian Prime Minister, 53, was standing nearly front row at Perry’s Wednesday, July 30, Lifetimes Tour sold-out concert at Belle Centre in Montreal, Canada. Per footage circulating online, Trudeau could be seen nodding his head to the music and smiling as Perry, […]

An insider exclusively told Us on October 24, 2025, that Perry is “really into” her romance with Justin.

“She’s very happy,” the source said. “She’s trying to keep it low-key, and they’ve spent a lot of private time together. She’s not looking to publicize this relationship.”

The insider added, “Their friends think they are a good match, but he actually hasn’t met a lot of her friends yet.”

Perry and Justin were filmed holding hands the following night while exiting a cabaret club in Paris. The date night came in celebration of the singer’s 41st birthday.

Justin also seemingly paid tribute to Perry with his Halloween costume: an inflatable shark. While Justin’s son dressed as a surfer with a bloody head for the holiday, the costume appeared to double as an homage to Perry’s Super Bowl 49 performance, which featured two dancers dressed as sharks.

Justin further hinted at the tribute in the caption of his Instagram post, writing, “Ready for Halloween with Hadrien: he’s the surfer, I’m the shark (to his left). We built the costume together — a little father-son Halloween teamwork. 🎃🦈🏄‍♂️.” (The “Left Shark” in Perry’s performance went viral for going rogue with their dance moves and stealing the show.)

December 2025

Perry and Trudeau met with former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida during a getaway in the country.

“Former Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau came to Japan with his partner, Katy Perry, and had lunch with us,” Kishida wrote via Instagram on December 4. “During my time as Prime Minister, I met Prime Ministers many times, and when I visited Canada, we worked together to strengthen bilateral relations, including formulating the Nikka Action Plan. I am glad that we are continuing this friendship.”

January 2026

While sharing a recap of her holiday season, Perry uploaded a photo of herself leaning to kiss Trudeau beside a body of water. Trudeau rocked a pair of dark sunglasses and a white T-shirt as he gave a smile for the camera. ““Holidaze ♥️,” Perry captioned the Instagram post.

April 2026

Perry shared a sweet photo of her and Trudeau posing together via Instagram. She placed one hand on his chest while looking up and smiling at the former prime minister of Canada.

“Never knew karma could be so rewarding,” she captioned the post.

Trudeau’s son Xavier praised Perry for helping with his music career during an episode of the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast. “When I’m really happy with a song, [I] send it [to her],” he said. “She’s always happy to give me advice or tell me what I should change.”

He added, “She’s super nice. She’s super down to earth. She’s great. I think that my dad’s happy, so that’s important.”

June 2026

A source exclusively told Us in June 2026 that “things between Katy and Justin are very serious.”

“After her split from Orlando, Katy really wasn’t expecting to jump into another relationship anytime soon, but Justin completely caught her by surprise. He came into her life at the right time, and they have developed a really strong connection,” the insider said, sharing that they have been “integrating their lives more and more.”

“Their relationship has deepened over the past several months, and they are about to celebrate their one-year anniversary,” the source said. “They both feel it’s important to blend their families thoughtfully and at a comfortable pace.”

Later that month, Perry and Trudeau made their red carpet debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City for the premiere of her new concert movie, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris.

“Every day is a fantastic journey, and every day is a chance to evolve and to be a better person and do the right thing and to be a model for your community, for your family, for your world,” Perry said during a post-screening Q&A as she reflected on her global Lifetimes Tour in 2025.

“I would say now at the end of 91 shows, I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life. I am very in love. Actually, that show was after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that,” she continued of her November 2025 tour dates in Paris. “I’m a little bit like a rainbow kite — I fly super high. Sometimes I need to be anchored, so to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now.”

July 2026

As Perry’s Out of Office Tour went on break until the end of August, a source exclusively told Us that she and Trudeau are hoping to put down “roots.”

“She and Justin will finally have time to settle in as a blended family,” the insider shared. “Over the last month, they have been coparenting in Europe, and their exes Sophie and Orlando have been there.”

The source continued, “The idea is to re-stabilize and have some down time in August to figure out the architecture of what their relationship looks like, to lay some roots down and get a proper rhythm. They want to make sure there is a stable system to nurture their kids.”

The insider noted that Trudeau planned to have a “normal life” after he resigned from his role as prime minister of Canada.

“He bought a house, moved back to Montreal and has yet to settle into the home because of his relationship and the new world they live in,” the source said. “Everyone is rooting for them, but they need to settle down a bit, so that’s the plan. Everyone close to them wants them to succeed in their relationship.”

Perry, meanwhile, is “diving right into Canadian culture.”

“She’s shopping designers from Quebec. And it gives Justin pride that she wants to experience his culture as much as she can,” the source explained. “She wants to embrace his culture, and it is important to her that he feels proud. He is learning a lot from her and she is learning a lot from him.”

The pop star is also helping Trudeau’s son Xavier with his music aspirations.

“She’s mentoring him on how to have more pop appeal. He’s been spending time with her and his dad during this leg of the tour,” the insider said.

When thinking about good whodunits, Agatha Christie adaptations often come first to our minds; the clever puzzles, eccentric detectives, and unexpected twists make the narratives so compelling that viewers are glued to their seats. Movies like Clue, Gone Baby Gone, Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes, Gone Girl, and such also prove to be compelling watches. A more contemporary audience is well-versed in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out franchise, which presents a new mystery with each installment, seen through its detective Benoit Blanc’s (Daniel Craig) eyes.

This year, though, brought us a whodunit that will be remembered for its detectives rather than its mystery. Case in point is Hugh Jackman’s The Sheep Detectives, which puts forth a herd solving the case of their shepherd. We follow George Hardy (Jackman), a devoted shepherd who reads cozy murder mysteries to his flock every night. Things take a turn when George is suddenly and mysteriously found dead. While the local authorities quickly write it off as a heart attack, George’s sheep suspect foul play. Putting on their detective wool or caps, the flock then take it upon themselves to find the murderer.

Written by The Last of Us co-creator Craig Mazin and directed by Kyle Balda, The Sheep Detectives adapts Leonie Swann‘s 2005 international best-selling novel, Three Bags Full. The heartfelt story grips its audience as we see the overarching themes of isolation, dealing with darker realities like death and loss, love for an animal, and more. The movie garnered love all around, becoming a commercial success, earning $126 million worldwide on a $75 million budget.

Furthermore, the feature marks the highest-rated Hugh Jackman film, with a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score from critics and a 96% score from fans. Along with Jackman, the whodunit also casts Nicholas Braun as the bumbling local cop, Molly Gordon as George’s long-lost daughter, while the voice cast includes icons like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Patrick Stewart and more.

‘The Sheep Detectives’ Rise Is a Streaming Darling

But that isn’t all for the movie’s success, as it became even bigger when it hit PVOD and then streaming, dominating charts all around. Now the feature has achieved another milestone; The Sheep Detectives has spent over a month on Prime Video, as per FlixPatrol. It is currently at the 6th spot on Prime’s top 10 list, standing tall among films like Ryan Gosling’s Project Hail Mary, Travis Knight’s Masters of the Universe, two Jason Statham movies, Shelter and A Working Man, and more.

Check out The Sheep Detectives on Prime Video. Stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.
