Layla Taylor Shares Why She Came Out As Bisexual
“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Layla Taylor is finally living in her truth, and things couldn’t be better. In a new interview, the reality star, who recently came out as bisexual in the summer of 2026, shared more about her life now that she’s open about her sexuality and explained why she decided now was the right time to come out.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Taylor said the main reason she came out was to encourage those who might also be struggling to accept themselves.
“The only reason why I did formally address it is just to help youth that are feeling the same way, that are scared to come out — and even adults that are the same way, that are scared to come out — was just to share my story so I could help other people,” he said.
According to a previous report from The Blast, the Hulu star told podcast host Jay Shetty that she was “gay and bi” before saying her breakup with her last boyfriend inspired her to act on her attraction to women.
Layla Taylor Says She Was Surprised By Homophobia
Elsewhere in her interview, Taylor said that she was surprised to learn people in the LGBTQ+ community still experience homophobia.
“I get a lot of biphobia from people saying that this is just a phase and I’m going to go right back to men, or all these weird assumptions,” she said. “But I just think after someone comes out, I feel like just let them figure it out for themselves, date who they want to date. And at the end of the day it’s no one’s business.”
Layla Taylor Has Introduced Her Girlfriend To Her Two Young Sons
Since coming out, Taylor has shared a bit more about her new relationship with TikTok creator Kelsie Chesser, per The Blast. Taylor said previously that she “slid into” Chesser’s DMs, hoping she was into girls.
And since they’ve been dating for some time, Taylor introduced the social media influencer to her two young sons, noting that they’re at “the age now that they do understand.”
“I think luckily they’re so young right now that I don’t really feel like they even can conceptualize what ‘society’ a normal relationship looks like between a man and a woman. I don’t feel like they have an idea that it should be ‘man and woman,’” she said.
She went on to say that if her children did question her about her relationship, she would tell them that everybody has “certain views” and that “other people can have their views” too.
Taylor Shares Her One Regret Around Coming Out
The newest season of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is available to stream on Hulu, and this batch of episodes shows Taylor navigating life after her breakup with Mason McWhorter.
In her PEOPLE interview, Taylor reflected on her coming-out process and shared one regret: not embracing herself sooner.
“I was so afraid of judgment from other people, but I think I wish I was more afraid of not being myself sooner,” she said. “I feel like life is short, and it would be a bummer if you’re not able to be fully who you are.”
She went on to say that people would comment regardless of your sexual orientation. “So, just be who you want to be, love who you want to love, and if someone has an issue with it, that’s an internal thing that they need to figure out, because love is love and that’s all that matters.”
Taylor Is Focusing On Her Wellbeing After Talking About Eating Disorder
In addition to navigating her new life as a bisexual woman, Taylor admitted to continuing to focus on her health and wellbeing after previously confirming she struggled with an eating disorder.
According to The Blast, Taylor said she was focused on “getting in the right mental headspace” and working on having a “better relationship with my body and food in general.”
“I think being in the best mental headspace when you’re going into an environment like modeling where your body is out there, and people are open to making criticism of it, just making sure that you’re mentally good has been my top priority coming into this fashion week,” she said.

When most people think about late-night talk shows, chances are they think of hilarious celebrity moments, funny maybe even cringe-worthy segments and a host that’s both entertaining and naturally charismatic. But while that might be true for these shows most of the time, late-night talk shows have also generated some major drama between their hosts. Most notably, things quickly soured between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien in 2009 after O’Brien’s sudden exit from NBC.
It all began when, after hosting The Tonight Show for 17 years, Leno moved to an earlier timeslot and O’Brien finally became the host of The Tonight Show, a role he’d worked so hard and long for. O’Brien’s tenure on the seat, however, didn’t last long. After only seven months, ratings of his show and Leno’s were worrying NBC, and they pushed for a new schedule that had O’Brien’s show to 12:05 a.m. O’Brien objected to the after-midnight time slot, and NBC reached a settlement with him to end his contract. The decision was heartbreaking to O’Brien and his longtime fans. Not only did he just reach a major career milestone he worked so hard for, but it seems he never got the chance to fully give it a go. To this day, it’s still a sore subject for the host.
The End of His Talk Show Still Hits a Nerve
In a May 2025 interview with O’Brien on the Today Show, Jacob Soboroff sat down with O’Brien and asked if he ever saw his sendoff from The Tonight Show, which aired on February 20, 2009. “No, I can’t do it,” O’Brien said simply. “I’m proud of it, but I can’t. It was just a lot.” He then reflected on where his mindset was at the time. “That was a moment where I really did think, ‘Maybe it’s over for me,’” he said. At the time, O’Brien wasn’t shy about his grievances. “It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule,” O’Brien said in a statement, per CBS News. “But sadly, we were never given that chance.” After O’Brien’s departure as host, Leno resumed his hosting duties on The Tonight Show, a role he continued until 2014. Therefore, not only was the dream of hosting the prestige timeslot swiftly taken from O’Brien, but it was clear that NBC chose Leno over O’Brien, which ignited a feud and left fans up in arms.
At the time, fans immediately reacted to the host change-up. Fans cheering for “Team Conan” made it a major Twitter trend, and the “I’m With Coco” image went viral, and more than a million people joined the two major Facebook groups supporting him. Fans took their outrage to the streets too, with “I’m With Coco” rallies in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Seattle, many wearing orange in honor of O’Brien’s hair. At the Los Angeles rally, O’Brien himself even showed up and spoke with the crowd. In 2010, Leno also added fuel to the fire by admitting to his role in the situation. Speaking about the best prank he’s ever pulled on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Kimmel, he said, “I told a guy that five years from now I’m going to give you my show, and then when the five years came, I gave it to him, and then I took it back almost instantly.”
Of course, while O’Brien’s departure, and Leno’s attitude towards the situation, angered fans, O’Brien’s show wasn’t perfect either. After all, in the years prior to his time on The Tonight Show, O’Brien stood out because he was openly weird, self-deprecating, and often deliberately anti-polished. Unlike traditional late-night hosts in the past, O’Brien was kooky, different, and unapologetically himself. But, when he moved to NBC’s most prestigious late-night institution, his unique form of comedy was tested. The ratings expectations changed, the audience for the show changed, and, in turn, ratings started to dwindle. Seven months later, NBC pulled the plug.
O’Brien Has Been Reinventing Himself Ever Since
But while O’Brien’s departure from The Tonight Show had him questioning his career, he’s been producing great content and growing his fanbase ever since. His next step after leaving NBC was hosting Conan on TBS, and ran for an impressive 11 years. In the meantime, he also stepped outside his desk and hosted the Emmy-winning Conan Without Borders travel specials and his hugely successful podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. Soon enough, Team Coco grew into a larger digital comedy brand before being acquired by SiriusXM in 2022, and the podcast has since surpassed 660 million downloads.
His career reinvention continued to pay off when he hosted Conan O’Brien Must Go, a travel series that turned the Without Borders concept into a full-fledged hit and is now in its third season. O’Brien also made his major awards show host debut at the 2025 Oscars, bringing in 19.69 million viewers, its highest audience in five years. He returned to host again in 2026, and is already set to return for the 99th Academy Awards on March 14, 2027. He was also inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 2025.
Ultimately, while perhaps no career success could make up for the heartbreak that was losing The Tonight Show in 2009, Conan O’Brien has been steadily making a name for himself outside the scandal ever since. While his departure was painful, his more untraditional career path became a remarkably successful second act, one that guaranteed he always had the freedom to be himself.

Sebastian Stan Credits This Oscar-Nominated Movie for His Mysterious ‘The Batman Part II’ Role [Exclusive]
Sebastian Stan is no stranger to superhero movies after spending more than a decade playing Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, his decision to cross the aisle for Matt Reeves’ The Batman Part II was never simply about adding a DC role to his resume. Instead, the opportunity emerged from one of the most unexpected and transformative projects of Stan’s career. Stan joined director Cristian Mungiu at the Toronto International Film Festival this week to promote their new drama, Fjord, which follows a Romanian family living in Norway whose children are taken away by social services.
During an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff at TIFF, Stan was asked what Reeves’ sequel could still offer him after his extensive history within the superhero genre. Although the actor carefully avoided revealing anything about his mysterious character, he did explain which previous performance caught Reeves’ attention. Stan revealed that his Oscar-nominated performance as Donald Trump in Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice directly sparked his conversations with Reeves. The actor never imagined the controversial biographical drama would eventually take him to Gotham City, but Reeves was already familiar with the filmmakers behind Stan’s more independent work. He explained:
“Well, you know what’s interesting is all these directors, they watch each other, believe it or not, even if they’re doing different sizes and stuff. Matt Reeves, he knows Cristian, and he knew Ali Abbasi. He was a big fan of The Apprentice, and that’s how that conversation started. I mean, not in a million years did I think that doing that movie was going to lead to me having a conversation with that director.”
‘The Apprentice’ Led Sebastian Stan to ‘The Batman Part II’
For Stan, blockbuster filmmaking and smaller character-driven projects are not opposing career paths, but parts of the same theatrical ecosystem. He argued that both types of movies ultimately depend on one another, particularly as the industry continues trying to convince audiences to return to theaters. While he could not offer any story details, Stan did assure fans that Reeves has approached the long-awaited The Batman sequel with considerable care:
“These worlds consistently collide, and I think the thing about these movies is those movies need these movies. And these movies, to some extent, need those. It’s an ecosystem that they all have to thrive in. It’s all for the better of getting people to the theater, which we have to do everything for. But again, if all I can say about the movie is that it’s just to say there’s real thought behind that movie, and Matt certainly has thought about it for three, four years.”
Stan joins a growing ensemble led by returning star Robert Pattinson, with Scarlett Johansson, Charles Dance, Brian Tyree Henry, and Sebastian Koch among the sequel’s new additions. Reeves returns to direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with Mattson Tomlin, while the identities of several new characters remain officially under wraps.
The Batman Part II is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on February 18, 2028. Stay tuned at Collider for the rest of Nemiroff’s conversation with Stan and Mungiu.

While most people visit Las Vegas to do some gambling, enjoy the nightlife, and get away from colder temps for a fun getaway, there are other things to do not far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Vegas is also known for its beautiful scenery, great hiking trails, and picture-perfect sights just a short drive from the neon lights.
One place that outdoor enthusiasts should add to their to-do list when visiting Vegas is Grand Canyon West. Just a two-hour scenic drive from the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, this is an amazing place to spend a day enjoying nature in a unique and memorable way.
In a recent episode of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Orange County,” fans got to see the reality stars experience Grand Canyon West while they were on their Vegas girls’ trip.
When the housewives of Orange County visited Las Vegas for an episode, their adventure took them way off the Strip to see some amazing sights at Grand Canyon West.
The caption on Grand Canyon West’s Instagram post shared some information about what they did while visiting.
“The episode aired Thursday, August 20 on Bravo and shows the OC Housewives experiencing one of Grand Canyon West’s most recognizable attractions — the breathtaking Skywalk,” the caption reads.
“Located on the Hualapai Reservation just 2 hours east of Las Vegas, Grand Canyon West offers visitors an unforgettable opportunity to experience the beauty and adventure of the Grand Canyon from a unique perspective. During the episode, the Housewives take in the spectacular views from the glass Skywalk, which extends 70 feet over the canyon’s rim and offers a thrilling vantage point approximately 4,000 feet above the canyon floor below.”
They also explored the area a bit and did some ziplining.
‘They Were Fantastic’
Paul McGuire, Chief Marketing & Revenue Officer at Grand Canyon West, told The Blast exclusively that the housewives were a “hoot.”
“I actually brought them out to the Skywalk, to the arch of the Skywalk,” he said. “Tribal members brought out champagne and we all toasted to the housewives being there.”
He then broke the group into two smaller groups; one went ziplining and the other group went to Guano Point where they shared and opened up amongst themselves.
“I was there while they were having their conversations. It’s a lot more organic than I thought. My perception was it’s contrived and all that good stuff, but it was very, hey listen, have a chat about this and see where it goes,” McGuire told The Blast exclusively. “They were fantastic, by the way. The interaction amongst themselves, it’s a feeling like they’re a bunch of college girls doing their thing. They were fun, funny, really gracious, really sweet. We’d love to have them back.”
‘RHOC’ Wasn’t The Only Show To Film At Grand Canyon West
“RHOC” wasn’t the first to take advantage of the absolutely majestic and beautiful scenery to highlight on the show.
“Filming is a great opportunity. And coming from Vegas, filming and content creation and making the destination available to any and all is really important,” he said. “We make it easy for you to do business with us and shoot content.”
McGuire oversees the filming component of a visit. As long as it’s respectful to the tribe and the land, and the content is appropriate, he’s ready to say yes!
“An example of that is Disney. This past year, Disney came in. They have a new attraction called Soaring Around the World, where they feature prominently major experiences and destinations and we are represented there,” he shared. “We’ve had the Discovery Channel out. We were on ESPN and had Barstool Sports, National Geographic, Virgin Atlantic, and that’s just within this past year.”
Traveling From Las Vegas To Grand Canyon West Is Part Of The Experience
The adventure begins long before you arrive at Grand Canyon West if you’re taking the trip from Las Vegas. McGuire said there’s a misconception about just how far away it is from Sin City.
“I drive there at least once a week. It’s a beautiful scenic two-hour drive. You pass through Boulder City, where the community that built the Grand Canyon exists. You come upon Washoe Tree Forest, which is absolutely beautiful and stunning,” he said. “And then once you get there, your jaw just drops. We’ve all seen pictures of it, but nothing compares to actually physically being there. It’s literally one of the seven natural wonders of the world and the only one in North America.”
If you don’t want to drive from Vegas, there are other ways to get there that are just as scenic. There are bus tours that go from Vegas to Grand Canyon West, as well as a small plane or helicopter.
“You can actually fly from Boulder City in a fixed wing aircraft, and it’s about a 40-minute flight. You’re flying over Lake Mead and there’s also narration behind it, kind of telling you about the history in the background and what you’re seeing,” he said. “You can also get a helicopter from the Las Vegas airport. A bucket list experience for sure.”
There’s Plenty To Do And See At Grand Canyon West
A visit to Grand Canyon West isn’t just about taking in the beauty of the area. There are also other things to do while there.
One unique way to check out the sights is to take a walk on the iconic Skywalk. According to Grand Canyon West’s website, “You can step out on the 10-foot wide, horseshoe-shaped glass bridge extending 70 feet out over the rim of the Grand Canyon. If you dare to look down, you’ll see breathtaking views 4,000 feet to the Canyon floor below.”
McGuire said it’s best to give yourself at least three hours to enjoy everything, depending on what you’re most interested in doing while visiting.
“Just the tranquility, I love just grabbing a sandwich or coffee and going out to Guano Point and just absorbing and taking it all in. There’s a sense of peace and serenity there for sure,” he said. “There’s a lot to do, a lot to take in, but just being there and seeing it with your own eyes is breathtaking.”
There’s also a zipline experience to enjoy, cafes and restaurants, Indigenous song and dance performances, walking trails, an arcade, and more.

Selena‘s brother, A.B. Quintanilla III, has filed a $1 million lawsuit against his sister, Suzette Quintanilla Arriaga. The lawsuit was filed in Nueces County, Texas, on Thursday, September 10.

Selena’s Brother Files $1 Million Lawsuit Against Sister Suzette
A.B. Quintanilla III filed a $1 million lawsuit against his sister, Suzette, on Thursday in Texas, according to KSAT. Selena was murdered by a fan and former employee, Yolanda Saldívar, back in 1995, and A.B. claims he’s being denied his 25-percent share of her estate. The siblings rose to fame with their sister as musicians in their Tejano band, Selena y Los Dinos.
The lawsuit contends that an “Estate Properties Agreement” was signed by the family following the singer’s death. Quintanilla claims two companies run by the pair’s late father, Abraham Quintanilla Jr. — Q Production, Inc. and Q Productions — are now run by Suzette. He claims that his sister slowly began taking over back in 2016, and subsequently, he was underpaid.
A.B. claims he noticed the alleged underpayments back in the spring of 2025 and asked for a full accounting report from Suzette. The complaint states that the defendants refused to provide the complete report, and he’s suing for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty in the amount of $1 million. In addition, he is also asking for lawyer fees and a jury trial.
The musician first announced his intent in both English and Spanish with a post on Instagram on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
Suzette Quintanilla Responds In Joint Statement With Marcella Quintanilla
After his initial statement on Sept. 1, Suzette reacted to her brother’s claims with an official statement on Instagram the following day. Furthermore, her mother, Marcella Quintanilla, co-signed the statement, and they denied A.B.’s claim.
“We have seen A.B.’s recent public statement,” reads the statement “Because it contains serious and false insinuations concerning Suzette, Abraham, and our family, we feel it is necessary to correct the record.”
“Marcella has never before felt the need to publicly address private family matters. She is doing so now because statements involving her late husband, her daughter, and her family should not be allowed to stand when they are false. A.B. states that there is a lawsuit involving Suzette and that a legal process began several months ago. Suzette has never been served with any lawsuit. She has received no court-filed complaint, summons, petition, or other legal pleading concerning the allegations A.B. is describing….. What lawsuit? Where was it filed? What is the case number? A.B. also refers repeatedly to ‘years’ of family circumstances, ‘facts,’ and ‘evidence’ while making serious insinuations concerning Suzette, his father, and this family. Those insinuations are false. There was no theft by Suzette. Suzette has not stolen, misappropriated, or improperly taken money or property belonging to A.B., Abraham, Marcella, Chris, Selena’s estate, or any family-owned or jointly owned business.”
The Sept. 2 statement also noted that “Suzette is not selling, and has no intention of selling” the late singer’s personal belongings. They also said they were “unaware of any wrongdoing by Abraham” that supports what A.B. claims. Not only that, but they said words like “‘facts’ and ‘evidence’ have meaning.”
“If A.B. has evidence that Suzette stole or misappropriated anything, he should present it….. We love A.B. He is our son and brother. But loving someone does not require us to accept false accusations or remain silent while the reputations of Suzette, Abraham, and our family are called into question. We will continue to protect our family, Abraham’s memory, Selena’s legacy, and the truth. – Marcella Quintanilla and Suzette Quintanilla”
An early report from The Los Angeles Times said it was not able to find any lawsuit in Nueces County, Texas related to Suzette. However, as mentioned, KSAT reports the filing date as September 10, 2026.
A.B. Quintanilla III Doubles Down In Follow-Up Post
Selena’s brother shared another post on Wednesday, September 2. on Instagram, and he told Suzette, “DON’T LIE” in all capital letters. He also shared the post in Spanish and claimed that his sister was notified, despite her claim otherwise.
“DON’T LIE SUZETTE AND HER LAWYERS WERE NOTIFIED WITH THE CORRESPONDING DOCUMENTS VIA CERTIFIED MAIL AND ELECTRONIC MAIL,” he wrote. “SHE WAS NOTIFIED OF A LAWSUIT RELATED TO HER FIDUCIARY DUTIES, THAT IS, HER LEGAL OBLIGATIONS TO ACT WITH LOYALTY, TRANSPARENCY AND IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THOSE SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE TO. SHE RESPONDED, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE WHAT WAS BEING REQUESTED: CONTRACTS, DOCUMENTATION AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION. THOSE FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENTS WERE LEFT UNANSWERED. WHAT SHE DID UNDER THE EXCUSE OF USING MY MOM FOR CONVENIENCE. SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS REALLY HAPPENING AROUND HER AND NEVER HAD ANY PARTICIPATION IN ANYTHING. THIS FRIDAY MY LAWYER WILL SPEAK OUT AND MANY THINGS WILL BE MADE CLEAR. SINCERELY, ABRAHAM QUINTANILLA III.”
According to TMZ, Suzette has not yet responded the lawsuit filing.

As someone who is 5’3″, I’ve learned that not every fall dress is ideal for a petite frame (no matter how much I want to make it happen). Dresses with too much fabric quickly swallow me up, which is why I gravitate toward shorter hems, defined waists and lengthening silhouettes. I also give out bonus points if I can wear the styles before fall actually arrives.
The 17 stylish dresses on my list feature the petite-friendly designs that look great on my shorter frame. Think flirty minis, cinched wrap styles and expensive-looking knits that bridge the gap between late-summer heat and crisp fall days. And with prices starting at $7, transitioning my closet with these flattering dresses won’t mean blowing my fall shopping budget.
17 Petite-Friendly Dresses for the Summer-to-Fall Transition
1. My Favorite: This olive mini dress is exactly what I want to wear during those not-so-quite fall days. The higher waist helps visually lengthen legs, while the short, flowy skirt won’t overwhelm a petite frame.
2. Paisley Pick: I’m trading bright summer florals for this paisley-print dress. The brown and orange tones instantly give it an autumnal feel, while the flowy skirt keeps it light enough for those still-warm September days.
3. Legs for Days: I’m taking full advantage of mini dress season before tights become necessary. This ribbed sweater dress shows plenty of leg, and the fitted waist creates an extra-flattering shape.
4. Wrap Star: I’ll never say ‘no’ to a wrap mini dress, especially when it comes in this gorgeous emerald green. The tie waist lets you customize the fit while simultaneously creating an hourglass appearance.
5. Sweet Spots: I almost missed the tiny polka dots on this emerald wrap dress, but they’re my favorite part. The sheer sleeves and ruffle hem give it a playful twist.
6. Cream Dream: There’s something about a cream cable-knit dress that instantly makes fall outfits look more expensive. This sweater dress turns the classic into an entire outfit. Bonus: The mini length keeps it proportional.
7. Rich Mom Knit: This luxe-looking mini is like something a rich mom would wear for a fall lunch at the country club. The defined waist and flared mini skirt give it that polished, perfectly put-together shape.
8. Sweet Swirls: I’m already picturing how good this belted mini dress will look in motion. The floaty skirt brings the drama, and the defined waist keeps all that volume from swallowing my frame.
9. Desk to Dinner: I love a dress that doesn’t require an outfit change after work. This caramel midi dress looks polished enough for the office, but the V-neckline and waist-cinching tie make it cute enough for dinner afterward.
10. Trending Now: I’m seeing chocolate brown everywhere this fall, so naturally this lace-detail sweater dress caught my eye. The peekaboo hem gives the oversized silhouette a flirty twist.
11. Plaid Please: Nothing gets me into fall mode faster than a little plaid. This green sweater dress sneaks the print onto the neckline and hem, giving the cozy ribbed knit a preppy feel.
12. Season Switch: I’m not packing away every summer dress just yet. This navy floral mini only needs a suede bag and boots to make the jump from sunny afternoons to crisp fall weekends.
13. Snatched in Sage: When I’m not in the mood for head-to-toe brown, I’m grabbing this sage green dress that feels perfect for the seasonal shift. The waist-cinching silhouette also looks so cute with tall boots.
14. Romantic Type: This muted floral dress is giving me romantic fall weekend energy. The soft brown blooms, sheer sleeves and ruffled skirt would look so pretty for a date night, bridal shower or early-fall wedding.
15. Seeing Spots: This spotted mini dress is a fun break from all the florals I usually reach for in early fall. The warm caramel palette feels seasonal, while the tiered skirt keeps it playful and breezy.
16. Looks Expensive: This ivory knit dress is giving me major designer energy without the designer price tag. The gold-tone buttons and faux-pocket details make the simple silhouette look instantly more luxe.
17. Petite Steal: Finding a longer dress that won’t overwhelm my frame is already a win — scoring one for $7 is even better. This green midi dress is designed with a higher waist to break up the length and elongate proportions.

Adam Wingard’s long-in-development ThunderCats movie is still alive, and the filmmaker has revealed that work on a new version of the script took place earlier this year.
While promoting his latest film, Onslaught, Wingard provided an update on the status of the ThunderCats adaptation, which he has been attached to direct for Warner Bros. since 2021.
“My career’s kind of bouncing around, so different things have taken precedence. But [ThunderCats is] still kicking around,” Wingard said. “I think it’s just a matter of finding time to really re-concentrate and re-engage with it.”
More importantly, Wingard revealed that another draft of the screenplay was completed earlier this year before the project was temporarily pushed aside.
“We did a new draft at the beginning of this year. It wasn’t too long ago, and then things got put on hold for this movie [Onslaught],” Wingard explained.
Despite the delay, the director made it clear that his ambitious adaptation has not been abandoned.
ThunderCats Mumm-Ra
“So I don’t really have any exciting updates. But it’s not dead. It lives. It’s just not the number one [thing] I’m working on right now.”
Wingard is developing the film alongside longtime collaborator Simon Barrett. The pair previously worked together on films including The Guest and Godzilla vs. Kong.
The latest comments provide a more concrete update following Wingard’s previous assurances that the project remained in development. In May, Coastal House Media reported on Wingard’s continued plans for the film and his vision of bringing the characters to life through a combination of CGI and live-action filmmaking.
Wingard has previously described ThunderCats as a passion project, having been a fan of the original animated series since childhood.
The filmmaker’s project should also not be confused with the animated ThunderCats feature announced by Warner Bros. Pictures Animation earlier this year. That project was revealed during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June.
For now, Wingard’s ThunderCats still has no announced cast or release date, and the director’s comments suggest fans could still have a significant wait ahead of them.
However, confirmation that a new screenplay draft was completed as recently as 2026 offers something ThunderCats fans haven’t had much of in recent years: tangible evidence that work on the project has continued.

Bruce Springsteen is standing ten toes behind his recent political commentary.
The iconic musician is addressing the strong opinions surrounding his vocal political stance during his latest concert run, and while his outspokenness has drawn various reactions, he remains unbothered by critics.
While Springsteen’s political stance is undeniably bold, it has come at a price, and the singer has had to “beef” up security during his tour after receiving extensive death threats.
The 77-year-old rock legend is standing firm behind the outspoken themes featured throughout his recent “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour across North America.
Reflecting on the tour in a conversation with Rolling Stone, Springsteen explained that he felt a strong desire to present a specific narrative and message on stage each night.
He acknowledged that his outspoken views provoked fiery pushback from certain concertgoers and critics, then he emphasized that varying reactions are simply part of performing live.
“This was the show I wanted to make, the story I wanted to tell,” he said. “I went out to find its audience, and I’m sure there were people, and I’ve read things where people were vehement about the content of the show, and that’s just the way the chips fall… And that’s okay with me right now.”
Addressing his decades-long career, the artist noted with a sense of humor that his advanced age gives him total freedom to pursue whatever creative vision he chooses. He also pointed out that following his own creative instincts has defined his entire journey in the music industry.
The Musician Stands Firm On Longstanding Social Principles
Despite the continuous pushback regarding his statements, those in the musician’s inner circle emphasize that his core philosophy remains completely unchanged.
According to The Blast, insiders previously revealed that the iconic artist has no intention of toning down his commentary. Instead, they pointed out that public engagement has defined his career since 1978.
While close associates acknowledge that his statements have become significantly more direct in light of recent political developments, they insist his underlying principles haven’t shifted at all.
However, where he once relied on subtle metaphors during live sets, he now addresses current events directly without altering his core values.
“He went from subtle messages about politics to blatantly saying things, but he’s not more political now than he once was,” they stated.
Bruce Springsteen’s Fellow Rock Veterans Questioned His Onstage Advocacy
Springsteen has not only received backlash from his fans, but also from the broader rock community and fellow music icons.
The artist’s outspoken approach sparked dynamic debate among his peers, with prominent musicians challenging the role of personal commentary during live performances, as reported by The Blast.
Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain voiced strong opposition to bringing current events onto the concert stage. He argued that performers should prioritize providing pure entertainment over sharing their personal worldviews.
Notably, Cain’s comments aligned with reservations expressed by Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger regarding the atmosphere at modern rock shows. Jagger clarified that he occasionally incorporates subtle social commentary into his songwriting, but still emphasized that live events should offer fans a complete break from daily anxieties.
Bruce Springsteen Slammed Donald Trump As ‘Reckless’ & ‘Racist’
Despite the continuous criticism, Springsteen has continued to speak up against the current administration. During a spring performance in New York, he addressed the crowd before the music began and voiced support for military personnel stationed in international conflict zones.
He wasted no time saying how he felt about the president, saying, “Our democracy, our constitution, our rule of law, are being challenged right now as never before by a reckless, racist, incompetent, treasonous president and his ship of fools administration.”
The singer then concluded his remarks with a direct call for collective civic action, urging attendees to stand firm against political division, as reported by The Blast.
Bruce Springsteen Enforced Heightened Security Measures Implemented Following Hostile Threats
Shortly before his bold political commentary onstage, reports surfaced, revealing that the singer had to reinforce his security due to the heightened threats.
According to The Blast, E Street Band guitarist Stevie Van Zandt disclosed that the deliberate political narrative running through their performances prompted a surge in hostile messages, including targeted death threats directed at members of the group.
As such, the band had to bring in federal authorities to monitor potential risks and ensure audience safety at every stadium stop.
“This tour has been a little bit different because of the high security… It’s a very specific political theme to this tour, and there’s been a lot of threats, death threats. Usually, there’s always some, but this time it’s been increasing,” he revealed.
However, despite the tension and heightened safety protocols, the band remained committed to fulfilling their itinerary without altering the show’s core message.
Chris Rock pitched a “white slavery show” as the latest spinoff in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe.
“Hey, if Taylor Sheridan’s got a job for me, I will take that job,” Rock, 61, told Variety in a recent interview. “I could be the Black guy on Yellowstone, no problem.”
The comedian joked about possible ideas he could bring to the table.
“I could just be the Black guy that owns some land and has, like, white slaves,” he quipped. “Taylor Sheridan, let’s do the white slavery show! I’m the guy!”
Taylor Sheridan has made Yellowstone fans out of many celebrities — some of whom are even interested in working with him. Sheridan got his start as an actor before moving on to writing scripts for movies including Sicario, Hell or High Water and Wind River. His focus later shifted to the small screen, which is […]
Sheridan, 56, got his start as an actor before writing scripts for movies including Sicario, Hell or High Water and Wind River. His focus later shifted to the small screen, which is how Yellowstone was born. The hit series aired from 2018 to 2024 as viewers tuned in for updates on the fictional Dutton family.
As the Yellowstone universe expanded with spinoffs such as 1883 and 1923, Sheridan also created original shows Landman, Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness and Tulsa King.
“Because Paramount trusts me and gives me the time to go shoot 10 to 14 days for a television episode, we can treat it like a movie, and it looks like a movie,” Sheridan told Deadline of his production process in January 2022. “We can take the time to rehearse it and light it and build these set pieces. And if I call them and say, ‘I need two helicopters in one day,’ they just go, ‘Alright.’”
He added: “At the end of the day, to go to some of these locations where most people have never been, where you’re opening up a new world, and all of these places or characters in the story, to me, it’s fascinating.”
Sheridan has scored major A-list actors for his shows — from Kevin Costner and Harrison Ford to Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore. Others have publicly pitched themselves for the opportunity to work with the producer.
Yellowstone is known for its over-the-top plot lines and complicated family drama, but the show’s cast and crew has also been involved in plenty of offscreen controversy over the years. Since the Paramount Network series premiered in June 2018, actors along with cocreator Taylor Sheridan have fended off criticism that the show is written with […]
Tom Selleck previously showed his interest, telling Parade in December 2024, “A good Western’s always on my list. I miss that; I want to sit on a horse again.”
Selleck, 81, also showed support for pal Sam Elliott, saying, “Sam was great in [1883]. Sam’s always great. We go way, way back. I love him dearly. I’d love to work with Sam.”
Meanwhile, Kris Jenner‘s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, dropped a bombshell during season 4 of The Kardashians when he suggested he almost had a role on Yellowstone. In one September 2023 episode, Jenner, 70, recalled her boyfriend’s unexpected connection to the hit series.
“I am so excited to watch the next episode of Yellowstone,” she told Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian. “So they asked Corey to be on Yellowstone. And he said no. I told him to say no. I thought he was going to have a romantic relationship.”
Gamble, 45, noted that he would have said yes to the opportunity, adding, “If it wasn’t for you, I would be a Yellowstone star.”
General Hospital has Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) determined to make Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) pay for trying to kill her, but Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is certain that Anna wouldn’t have really killed Britt.
This is about to cause some serious discord in Jason and Britt’s relationship, and it could absolutely end them. We are going to talk about General Hospital setting the stage for Jason to call it quits with Britt and it’s all about Anna.
General Hospital: Rocky Road Ahead for Jason & Britt
So, as you know, Jason was there for Britt when she needed him, but that may change soon because you can already see that Jason does not want Anna to get locked up for this incident. And that’s going to cause serious problems between Jason and Britt. Not only is Anna nearly shooting Britt a huge problem for their future, but also some of her recent past with Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) is going to be another problem.
An official Fall spoiler for General Hospital says that decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for Jason and Britt to survive as a couple. And of course, all the Cullum stuff ties back to both Anna and to Britt. That’s important. So, it absolutely sounds like this situation with Anna will end up tearing Britt and Jason apart.
We can see that Jason is very sympathetic towards Anna because of the PTSD that Ross caused. But does that outweigh the PTSD that Anna just caused Britt? Because she is traumatized. She’s reeling and she wants Anna to pay for trying to kill her. But more so, I think Britt wants Anna locked up because she thinks Anna’s crazy. And I suspect more than anything, Britt’s terrified if Anna’s not locked up, she may come and try to kill her again.
GH: Everyone Piles on Britt
And so Britt’s annoyed with everybody because Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner), Emma Scorpio Drake (Braedyn Bruner), Jason, and the others all have unlimited compassion for Anna because they know she’s a good person who has helped a lot of people.
Plus, Anna’s friends and family all know that she went through horrifying trauma because of Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Cullum. But they’re not really thinking about the fact that Britt did, too. And yes, Britt has a history of crimes, but Sidwell and Cullum gaslit her into thinking she had Huntington’s, a fatal illness.
And then they blackmailed her by offering her what they said were life-saving drugs, and then threatened her with withholding them. So, Emma was pleading with Britt, please show Anna some compassion. And then Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Felicia also piled on and reminded Britt she’s done bad things that she wasn’t punished for and should show grace. But this aggravated Britt.
General Hospital: Britt is Appalled
She’s flipping out because nobody seems to care. She was legit almost killed by Anna and buried in a shallow grave out in the woods. But Lucas also said Britt makes it hard for people to care about her because she lashes out when people try and help her. And now, of course, she’s doubling down and vowing that Anna will pay for trying to murder her. I think that is her terror talking more than anything. And yes, we have to admit Anna did go through trauma when she was gaslit by Cullum. That was for a few months. Britt was terrorized by them for several years.
And yes, Anna had years of Cesar Faison (Anders Hove) trauma in her history, decades of it. But in a way, Britt did too, growing up with Faison as her father and being subjected to his psychotic whims and expectations. Plus, as Britt said today, Anna was going to kill her in punishment for a situation Britt never wanted to be in just because of her awful father, Faison. Britt didn’t choose to be Faison’s daughter. And I tend to think that unfortunately Jason is going to be of the same mindset as everybody else.
Jason Asks Britt to Reconsider on GH
I think that Jason is going to tell Britt she needs to show Anna some grace because of how much grace Britt has been shown over the years. But I think what she really wants is to feel safe. And Jason makes her feel safe. But now he’s changing his tune because he also cares for Anna and wants her safe. And of course, Jason’s going to do all that he can to stop Britt from having Anna arrested or Britt going after Anna herself. Along the way, I think Jason is going to find out from Britt or maybe from the WSB channels that Britt knew more about Anna’s captivity than she’s admitted.
I’m sure from Britt’s perspective, she couldn’t do anything to help Anna because Britt’s life was also at risk. I suspect she knew they had taken Anna and stashed her at Wyndemere, although I doubt Britt knew they were going to ship her off to France or what happened there. But given that Britt was working down in those tunnels, there’s no way that she didn’t know Anna was there.
General Hospital: Jason Horrified by Britt’s Actions
So, Jason’s outlook may be that when Cullum and Sidwell first brought Anna onto Spoon Island, that’s when Britt should have dropped a hint to somebody that Anna was there. You know, she could have helped out. Britt didn’t have to rescue Anna herself. But she could have told Jason because he was still in town when Anna was kidnapped. But Britt was selfishly protecting her own life and didn’t want to rock the boat, so she didn’t say anything. Britt was in a scary spot, so it’s understandable. But it’s not really very brave, you know, kind of cowardly.
And Jason’s point of view may be that Britt did wrong by not helping Anna. And since Britt didn’t help Anna then when she could have, Britt needs to make up for that now by showing compassion and not pressing charges. It may come down to Jason giving Britt basically an ultimatum.
Jason’s Ultimatum on GH
Jason may tell her, “If you pursue this and if you press charges, we’re going to be done.” And knowing Britt’s stubborn temperament, she might tell Jason, “Fine, go ahead. Abandon me like everybody else. It’s what I expect. It’s what I’m used to.” And that circles back to Lucas saying Britt makes it hard for people to care about her. I tend to think Jason ends up in an uncomfortable position and it’s going to come down to who needs him more.
He loves Britt. But in this moment she’s not being very lovable and Jason may get a glimpse of what the future looks like with her because Britt will always be very selfish. So, I think Jason’s going to try and salvage their relationship. But Britt may make it impossible. General Hospital is laying the groundwork for Jason to move on to a new love interest and for Britt to get closer to Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer).
General Hospital: Britt Headed for Romance with Tristan?
So, if you hadn’t heard, General Hospital chemistry tested Dean Geyer with Kelly Thiebaud when he was auditioning. And our leaker told us a while back that Jason and Britt would be splitting up once Jason was back from the WSB. Now, that’s manifesting.
The leaker also said Tristan was going to be Britt’s next love interest. And this week, we’ve got Britt pleading with Jason. And it looks like Britt wants Jason to make a witness statement to the PCPD. Britt says, “You have to help me stop Anna.”
But I absolutely don’t see Jason giving the cops any info that will help put Anna away. Jason doesn’t like to talk to the cops anyway, and without him as a witness, it likely goes nowhere because Britt has zero credibility with anybody.
But based on them having Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) in common, Britt may be able to talk Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) into going out with her to the kill site. But Jason cleaned it all up. He even picked the brass up from where Anna fired her gun. So there’s zero evidence out there. Bottom line, I absolutely do not see Jason and Britt’s relationship surviving this ordeal with Anna.
