Ryan Coogler has officially added another major accolade to his sparkling career. At tonight’s Actor Awards, Sinners took home Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, cementing the 1930s-set Southern vampire epic as one of the year’s most talked-about ensemble achievements. For a filmmaker who hasn’t yet turned 40, Coogler’s trajectory continues to feel almost unreal — from Fruitvale Station to Creed, from Black Panther to now an entirely original horror spectacle that’s sweeping awards recognition.

Set in rural Mississippi in 1932, Sinners follows gangster twins Smoke and Stack — both played by Michael B. Jordan— who return home after years in Chicago with plans to open a juke joint nightclub. What begins as a celebration of community, culture, and music spirals into chaos when a trio of vampires, led by Jack O’Connell’s Remmick, descend upon the town. The brilliant cast also includes Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, and breakout performer Miles Caton.

How Good Is ‘Sinners’?

Collider’s review stated that Sinners was Coogler’s most visually audacious film to date — a sweeping, kinetic spectacle that proves his blockbuster instincts are sharper than ever — but it also exposed a blind spot when it comes to delivering genuinely terrifying horror. The nightclub sequences are singled out as the film’s high point: sweaty, sensual, and electric, driven by a standout soundtrack and choreography that makes the horror almost secondary, and the whole film frames Jordan like a real film star, a true leading man, but it also notes that, compared to the sophistication and menace of recent vampire tales like Nosferatu, Sinners pulls its punches. Violent moments often cut away before landing impact, and the vampires — marked by basic visual effects and occasionally awkward tonal choices — feel more theatrical than terrifying.

Sinners is an electric film sparkling with energy and passion. Coogler takes everything he has honed over the past 10 years and crafts a spectacle hoisted up by exceptional visual storytelling. The focus here is action and imagery, so the weaker character development and script than his past films can be forgiven. What can’t be ignored, though, is that Coogler isn’t yet a master of horror. And this is perhaps a great thing to happen to the cinema world. As extraordinarily talented as Coogler is, as intentional his style feels, and as talented as the performers are, horror should never be something that people dismiss as not requiring the same level of expertise

Shia LaBeouf is sharing his perspective on homosexuality.

“I know I’m f***ing deep off into the Bible. I know what the Bible says … about homosexuality,” LaBeouf, 39, said during a Saturday, February 28, interview with Channel 5 With Andrew Callaghan.

When host Andrew Callaghan asked what the Bible says about homosexuality, LaBeouf replied, “Nah.”

“That’s what it says?” Callaghan, 28, said, while LaBeouf added, “Yeah.”

Shia LaBeouf has once again been arrested in New Orleans in connection with an alleged Mardi Gras-related incident. The Associated Press reported on Saturday, February 28, that LaBeouf, 39, was arrested earlier in the day on suspicion of misdemeanor simple battery. This charge is related to his previous arrest on two counts of battery for […]

Callaghan pointed out that the Bible had been written “a really long time ago,” leading LaBeouf to reply, “Bro, you can do whatever you want with the text. It’s not my business.”

“I’m a traditional Catholic, that’s OK,” LaBeouf continued. “I really f*** with the Bible.”

The interview with LaBeouf was published the same day that the actor was arrested in New Orleans for a second time in connection with an alleged Mardi Gras incident. The Associated Press reported on Saturday that he was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor simple battery, related to his previous arrest on two counts of battery for allegedly striking someone multiple times while being escorted out of a restaurant on February 17.

The incident reportedly occurred near New Orleans’ French Quarter. LaBeouf’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, told the outlet that he voluntarily turned himself in at the Orleans Parish jail after learning that a new arrest warrant was issued on Friday, February 27.

“No regular person would be required to post over $100,000 in bonds, and be jailed two separate times for one misdemeanor incident,” Chervinsky said. “Just as he does not deserve preferential treatment, Mr. LaBeouf also does not deserve to be treated more harshly by the police and courts just because he is a public figure.”

Us Weekly reached out to representatives for LaBeouf and the New Orleans Police Department for comment at the time. After his February 17 arrest, LaBeouf appeared in court the same day and has a pretrial hearing scheduled on Thursday, March 19.

During his Saturday interview, LaBeouf reflected on his “behavior.”

“My side is this. My behavior? Bulls***. I gotta deal with that,” he explained. “Does that mean I gotta go to rehab again? I’m just not into it, bro. I don’t think my answers are there. I don’t. I genuinely don’t. If I genuinely did, I would go. I don’t think I have a drinking problem, I think I have a different problem. And I’m going to address it.”

UPDATE — 2/19/26 at 12:30 p.m. ET: Us Weekly has obtained the police report, which details Shia LaBeouf allegedly hurled homophobic slurs, punched two people, possibly dislocating one’s nose and dragged his Catholic faith into the fight that landed him behind bars this week. LaBeouf became “irate and aggressive” throughout the night before he was thrown out of an […]

When asked what that struggle is, LaBeouf said he thinks he has a “small man complex.”

“I don’t know what it is. I think it’s something that has to do with anger and ego more so than my drinking,” he said. “That’s where I’m at now in my journey. I’m trying to navigate it. I’ll figure it out.”

He continued, “What kind of things set off that anger? I mean, boy, I haven’t experienced that for a while, but I’ll be honest with you, big gay people are scary to me. When I’m standing by myself and three gay dudes are next to me, touching my leg, I get scared. I’m sorry if that’s homophobic, then I’m that. It just happened one time, [and] that’s why I got arrested.”

Bravo celebrity Caroline Stanbury is giving an update on the whereabouts and wellbeing of her family amid the U.S. and Israel’s ongoing missile strikes on Iran.

“Thank you so much for all the amazing messages I am getting — I am currently in L.A, which is not ideal because my sons are in Dubai,” Stanbury, 49, shared in a video uploaded to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, March 1. “But they are safe and I feel very comfortable with where they are and they feel very comfortable. Obviously I would like to get back as soon as I can but that’s not possible right now.” (Stanbury shares daughter Yasmin and twin sons Zack and Aaron with her husband, Sergio Carrallo.)

One day earlier, in the early morning hours of Saturday, February 28, President Donald Trump announced the United States and Israel launched a join military offensive against Iran.

“I do not make this statement lightly, the Iranian regime seeks to kill,” the president said at the time. “The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost and we may have casualties. That often happens in war, but we’re doing this not for now, we’re doing this for the future and it is a noble mission.”

It’s been over a decade since Bravo fans met and subsequently said goodbye to The Real Housewives of D.C. The reality series, which starred Mary Amons, Lynda Erkiletian, Cat Ommanney, Michaele Salahi and Stacie Scott Turner, premiered in August 2010. The show ran for 11 episodes and wrapped up with a two-part reunion in October […]

The missile strikes reportedly hit multiple targets, including a school for girls, per various news outlets. According to Iranian officials, at least 153 people — including children between the ages of 7 and 12 — were killed in the strike on the elementary school, according to the BBC. The U.S. military’s Central Command says it is looking into the incident, while Israel’s military has said it’s “not aware” of any IDF operations in the area.

The strikes also killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and multiple senior members of the Iranian government. On Sunday, the U.S. military also confirmed that three American service members were killed, the first official American casualties of the war.

“We expect casualties with something like this,” Trump told NBC News of the American casualties. “We have three, but we expect casualties — but in the end it’s going to be a great deal for the world.”

The strikes also shut down the airspace over Dubai, canceling all flights in and out of the area. Iran retaliated by targeting various popular vacation destinations, including Dubai — locations that are often considered safe.

“We are all OK,” Stanbury, who starred on Bravo’s Ladies of London and The Real Housewives of Dubai, continued on Sunday. “Everybody is OK, and like I said the boys are handling it amazingly and we’ll all just wait and see. The UAE is obviously an amazing place and it seems from here to be incredibly under control and they’re doing an amazing job, so that’s all we can hope for. And I will be on the next plane I can back to Dubai.”

Stanbury’s former The Real Housewives of Dubai costar, Chanel Ayan, also shared an update with concerned fans amid the ongoing conflict.

“I am alive but damn last 24 hours have been scary!!!” she wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I will be seeing missiles being intercepted right by my house. Thankful to God and Dubai for keeping us safer and praying for everyone to be OK and safe.”

Whew! Some folks post selfies, and others post statements. Jania Meshell had the internet reading between the lines after she dropped a new TikTok that quickly made its rounds online — and let’s just say, the energy was loud without her saying much at all.

Did Jania Meshell Just Throw A Subliminal In New Clip?

On Saturday, Jania Meshell shared a clip of herself rapping along to the lyrics, “If I gave a f***, I’d probably be in h*ll or in jail but I ain’t,” while standing in what appeared to be a white-walled room, possibly her bathroom. Rocking a white tank top with black trim and black pants, she served a full face beat and long, curly hair flowing effortlessly. But it wasn’t just the glam that caught attention — it was the attitude. Sis was giving very much “don’t play with me” as she mouthed every word with precision.

The post didn’t come with a long caption or explanation, but fans know Jania doesn’t move without intention. Whether she was simply vibing to a song or subtly addressing chatter, social media users wasted no time sharing opinions and speculating about who — or what — the message might’ve been for. One thing about it, though: Jania looked unbothered and stood ten toes behind every lyric.

Fans Debate If She’s Really Unbothered

Chileeee, you already know fans sprinted to TSR Teens’ Instagram comment section and clocked IN. Some folks were saying Jania is trying to give “unbothered,” but in their eyes, posting the clip was a reaction in itself. Meanwhile, others chimed in that she should be over her ex by now. But, a separate group defended her, saying she always posts content like this and people are just reading way too deep into it.

One Instagram user @jaylensauntie wrote, “Jania you have a whole man sis! Let that go!“

This Instagram user @mermaidvibezz2 said, “I mean if you didn’t give a damn then you wouldn’t speak on it😂 yall be doing everything to swear you aren’t bothered while seeming bothered😂😂”

And, Instagram user @weirdazz_aquarius added, “Bothered by your married ex online is wild behavior 🤣🤣🤣 especially when you’re in a ‘happy relationship’“

Meanwhile, Instagram user @norfside.j4z shared, “I mean when you don’t care , you don’t address is . But she aint wrong lol that sh*t weird“

While Instagram user @arindanyelle claimed, “Keep it cute cause she always posting TikTok’s like that! Stop reading so much into it!“

Lastly, Instagram user @skydadondada said, “You was quick to make tweets about her when you thought it was about her tho“

So… What Was Jania Possibly Reacting To?

As previously reported, just a few days ago, Jania had posted fresh TikTok videos shortly after a viral clip showed Nique riding around with NBA YoungBoy, which sent social media into a frenzy. While folks online dragged Nique and speculated about “home girl” codes, Jania stayed noticeably silent, instead popping out in a matching cheetah-print two-piece, dancing and twerking with what fans called straight unbothered energy. Even without captions, her followers filled in the blanks, debating whether she was plotting her next move or simply minding her business.

Nique threw out a few clap backs of her own and made it clear where she stands with Jania, telling folks “My homegirl wouldn’t try to throw dirt on my name online but go off.” Then, finally after much speculation about her link up with NBA YoungBoy, he ended up revealing that she made a cameo in his ‘Highly’ music video. The video shows Nique in the same car she was cruising in with NBA and popping up in other spots throughout the visuals.

Yellowstone fans are in for plenty of surprises in the show’s newest spinoff Marshals.

Arielle Kebbel spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about what to expect from the show — and her character Belle Skinner.

“We pull the layers back very slowly with Belle and she relates to [Luke Grimes’ character] Kayce because they’re both the local folks from Montana. Folks out there have a different way of doing things,” Kebbel teased. “We learn that she also comes from a very wealthy family — and with that comes a lot of secrets and responsibility.”

The story will continue to unravel throughout the season.

The next stop in the Yellowstone universe is a spinoff starring Luke Grimes’ character, Kayce Dutton. Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. After finding success on Paramount, creator Taylor Sheridan grew the Yellowstone world with prequels 1883 and 1923. CBS ordered Marshals, […]

“There’s a big piece of her that is — not necessarily hiding from her past — but hiding it from other people. She is very protective of her past and her family — and also because she started her own family now. Belle doesn’t want to get her kid involved in some of the messy stuff of her past,” Kebbel teased. “As the season goes on, we learn all the reasons why she is so secretive and closed off and protective of herself and her family. We peel back the layers of what’s going on with her.”

She continued: “Both she and Kayce have a lot of secrets. They have a lot on the line and they also really want justice. Sometimes that’s a hard line to walk. So as the season goes on, we definitely learn more about her. There’s a few shocking reveals.”

Marshals, which premieres on Sunday, March 1, follows Kayce (Luke Grimes) as he leaves “ranching life behind to join an elite unit” of the U.S. Marshals while “combining his skills as a cowboy and Navy SEAL to bring range justice to Montana, where he and his teammates must balance family, duty and the high psychological cost that comes with serving as the last line of defense in the region’s war on violence.”

In addition to Kebbel and Grimes, the show stars Ash Santos, Tatanka Means, Brett Cullen and Logan Marshall Green. Marshals is the newest spinoff of Yellowstone — which aired from 2018 to 2024 — and starred Grimes.

“It’s all the same world. You have the ranch and we always incorporate and go back to that in the show. But this world is really about bringing together this new team of Marshalls. They don’t really all know each other. They’re all very different in their ways,” Kebbel teased. “It’s fun to watch how they work as a team and it’s fun to watch the personality clashes. When the show starts, it’s not a team that’s been working together before so it’s not necessarily a well oiled machine.”

Kebbel promised an evolution on screen. “Part of the fun of the journey is learning how they learn how to work together along the way. So you’ve got these Marshals going out on missions — but with the beautiful backdrop of Montana and horses and mountains and rivers,” she noted. “The closest comparison would be combining a Yellowstone with Lioness.”

Marshals also served as a reunion for Kebbel and Grimes after 50 Shades Freed.

“Our time together on that was brief but I got to know how he worked and he’s a total pro. He’s very welcoming and very kind to everyone but he also gets right to work,” Kebbel shared with Us. “I knew if I need to ask anything, he’ll absolutely guide me and be there for me. But also, he’s one of those people who really gives room for people to do their thing. It’s one of those sets where everyone knows you show up and you get to work — there’s no time to waste.”

She continued: “We’re have a lot to do every single day to make our days. Knowing that we’re going to work every day with the backdrop of the Yellowstone legacy behind us definitely adds a layer of pressure that you feel — or at least that I felt — going to set. But that’s a good thing. It was this unspoken thing where you want to always make sure you’re rising to the occasion. So I hope that we did.”

Marshals premieres on CBS March 1 and will air Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
