Shania Twain’s deeply personal new album has delivered the lowest chart debut of her celebrated career. The country music icon released her seventh studio album, “Little Miss Twain,” late last month, but the project entered the Billboard 200 at No. 131 after selling just 12,000 copies. The result represents a dramatic decline from 2023’s “Queen of Me,” which debuted at No. 10. However, Shania Twain has acknowledged that her latest record was not created with the same commercial focus as her previous releases.

“Little Miss Twain” marks an unusually modest chart performance for an artist who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Twain previously topped the Billboard 200 with both 2002’s “Up!” and 2017’s “Now,” while “Queen of Me” gave her another top-10 album three years ago. Her latest project’s No. 131 debut now makes it the lowest-charting studio album of her career.

The disappointing opening does not erase Twain’s standing as one of the best-selling recording artists in history. It does, however, show the commercial risk she took by moving away from the accessible songwriting that helped define her biggest hits.

During interviews promoting the record, Twain explained that its material was far more intimate than what listeners had typically heard from her. The album explores her childhood and contains “a lot of things that I wouldn’t normally write about as a commercial songwriter,” she told Billboard Canada.

Shania Twain Admits She Felt Anxious About The Album

Twain acknowledged that releasing such personal music left her feeling nervous about how listeners might respond. “I’m full of anxiety and excitement at the response, but even if you find one lyric that speaks to you or makes you feel something, I’ll be happy,” she wrote on Instagram.

For the singer, creating the album required revisiting painful experiences while reflecting on her younger self and her late mother. “The emotional journey on this album was a true rollercoaster, and there were moments where I felt like I was sitting with my younger self while my mother looked over me. It was very painful at times, but telling some of these stories out loud was also incredibly healing, and then there was the fun and laughter,” Twain continued.

Although its chart debut fell far below her previous releases, Twain’s remarks suggest that she measured the album’s value through emotional connection rather than sales alone.

She also thanked fans who have remained with her as her music and identity evolved. “Thank you for going into the next chapter with me, it’s not easy to evolve as an artist and keep your people with you, but you’ve been loyal and supportive through it all,” she wrote.

The Country Icon Has Struggled With Her Changing Appearance

The album’s release follows a period in which Twain has spoken candidly about aging, menopause and her changing relationship with her body. “I go from being this young, stunning figure, beautiful skin, everything’s in the right place to a time in my life where I couldn’t look in the mirror because all I could see were imperfections and not wanting to be that curvy thing,” she told PEOPLE in July.

Twain explained that she eventually realized protecting her well-being was more important than attempting to control every change in her appearance. “It is well-being first, always, to becoming an older woman and now looking in the mirror, no problem. I’m like, I just have to get over this because every day that goes by, I’m getting older; the dips and bulges and the sags are just getting more and more prominent,” she said.

Rather than attempting to recreate how she looked at the height of her early fame, the performer has challenged herself to accept the person she is now. “I’m not trying to be 30. I’m not trying to be 25, and I won’t be ever again. That’s my own fault for not looking in the mirror when I was younger, and shame on me,” Twain explained.

“I encourage everybody: enjoy yourself the way you are right now and love it,” she added. “Vanity is not worth torture. I’m just learning every phase that I go through, and I adapt.”

Shania Twain Faces Criticism Over Her Revealing Stage Outfits

Twain’s remarks arrived amid criticism of the outfits she wore while opening for Harry Styles in London. The comments added to the age- and body-shaming Twain has faced while continuing to embrace revealing fashion at 60.

However, the singer made it clear that criticism from strangers would not dictate how she presents herself. “My body is not shameable. That courage comes with time and maturity. Body shaming is nothing that’s going to affect me,” she said.

Shania Twain Is Embracing A New Chapter

5

“Little Miss Twain” may not have matched the chart performances of “Queen of Me,” “Up!” or “Now,” but Twain entered the release knowing its subject matter was less commercial than her previous work.

The album gave her an opportunity to explore childhood experiences, confront painful memories and create music that she described as personally healing.

Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy remains the modern standard because it did more than give Batman a serious makeover. It built a complete argument around fear, escalation, sacrifice, and the cost of turning one damaged man into a public symbol. Batman Begins created the belief system. The Dark Knight tested it against chaos. The Dark Knight Rises asked whether Gotham could survive after its protector had exhausted himself.

Very few action trilogies sustain that kind of ambition across three films. The contenders below reach the same conversation through different strengths. One revolutionized modern spy action. Another gave blockbuster cinema an unusually complete character journey. The winner created an entire world, filled it with unforgettable people, and somehow made three enormous films feel like one continuous emotional experience. So while Nolan’s Batman films are unrivaled, so are the three trilogies below and they’re richer in lore.

‘The Bourne Trilogy’ (2002–2007)

The Bourne trilogy follows an elite operative who survives an assassination attempt and wakes with no memory of his identity. The Bourne Identity turns that mystery into a tense chase across Europe, while The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum force Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) deeper into the intelligence system that trained him, used him, and expected him to disappear quietly. These films changed action cinema through close physical combat, aggressive pursuit scenes, practical locations, and a hero whose greatest threat was the institution inside his own head. James Bond eventually absorbed some of that urgency. Plenty of lesser thrillers copied the camera shake and forgot the discipline underneath it.

Its strongest challenge to The Dark Knight trilogy comes from momentum. Every installment pushes the same investigation forward, and Bourne’s search for identity keeps the action emotionally specific. He is chasing names, files, and handlers because each answer determines whether anything human remains beneath his conditioning. Bourne arguably answers with tighter continuity and a lead character who never loses the central question driving him. Three films. One relentless pursuit. Barely a wasted detour.

‘The Planet of the Apes Caesar Trilogy’ (2011–2017)

Rise of the Planet of the Apes begins with a laboratory chimpanzee developing advanced intelligence and forming a bond with the human who raises him. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes expands that intimate story into a fragile confrontation between an emerging ape civilization and the remnants of humanity. War for the Planet of the Apes carries Caesar (Andy Serkis) into a conflict shaped by grief, revenge, leadership, and the future of his species. A franchise once famous for masks, clumsy makeovers, twists, and cultural iconography returned as one of the most emotionally disciplined blockbuster stories of the century.

Caesar gives this trilogy the one advantage even Bruce Wayne struggles to match. His development feels completely continuous. Every belief, scar, failure, and compromise from the previous films follows him into the next one. The motion-capture work led by Andy Serkis gave Caesar extraordinary presence, though the achievement reaches far beyond technical performance. His choices reshape an entire civilization. The Dark Knight trilogy has the stronger single-film cultural earthquake through The Dark Knight, and its clash between Batman and the Joker remains almost impossible to rival. Caesar’s trilogy closes the gap through consistency. All three chapters belong to the same soul. That is rare blockbuster magic.

‘The Lord of the Rings Trilogy’ (2001–2003)

Image via New Line Cinema

This is the trilogy that presses hardest against Nolan’s crown because its three films feel inseparable. Peter Jackson and his collaborators produced them as one enormous undertaking, which gave the characters, landscapes, costumes, music, and dramatic momentum a unity few franchises have reproduced. The Lord of the Rings trilogy takes a quiet hobbit from the Shire and sends him across Middle-earth carrying a weapon that could destroy every free kingdom if it reaches the wrong hands. The Fellowship of the Ring builds the world and gathers the company. The Two Towers fractures that fellowship across several fronts.

The Return of the King brings those journeys toward the war for Middle-earth while Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) continue a smaller, lonelier struggle that may decide everything. The scale is gigantic, yet the emotional language stays wonderfully simple. Friendship. Courage. Temptation. Duty. Hope when hope looks ridiculous. The Dark Knight trilogy remains sharper about modern institutions, political fear, and the uneasy relationship between heroism and public myth. Middle-earth reaches somewhere older and more universal. Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) accepting responsibility, Sam refusing to abandon Frodo, Théoden (Bernard Hill) riding toward impossible odds, and ordinary people standing against ancient evil all belong to the same emotional argument. Batman may own the greatest individual film in this debate. The Lord of the Rings owns the most complete group journey.

There are movies that you’re sure are going to become blockbuster hits and end up just becoming critical darlings. It’s a strange situation when you get a brilliant sci-fi film that’s also the sequel to one of the finest films ever made, and not only does it deliver on its promise, but some might say it even improves on the original. And then, for some reason, it just doesn’t land.

That was the case with Blade Runner 2049. When Denis Villeneuve’s sequel arrived in 2017, it earned near-universal critical acclaim but struggled commercially despite breathtaking visuals, extraordinary performances, and one of the most immersive worlds ever put on screen. Thankfully, though, streaming has finally begun correcting that injustice.

Set three decades after Ridley Scott’s original masterpiece, this time around we follow the LAPD officer K (Ryan Gosling), a replicant (and an actual one, despite all those conspiracy theories the first time around) whose latest investigation stumbles across something that could prove catastrophic to the powers-that-be if it were to become public knowledge. That search eventually leads him to one Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who’s been in hiding for decades by this point.

The stacked cast also includes Ana de Armas (Ballerina) as Joi, Sylvia Hoeks (See) as Luv, Robin Wright (Here) as Lieutenant Joshi, Jared Leto (Tron: Ares) as Niander Wallace, and Dave Bautista (The Killer’s Game) as Sapper Morton.

Was ‘Blade Runner 2049’ a Success?

The film was critically acclaimed upon its release, but it was an undoubted box office disappointment. Despite grossing $276.6 million worldwide, Blade Runner 2049 fell short of expectations against a reported $150–185 million budget, which made it one of the biggest letdowns of the last decade.

Its reputation, however, has only continued to grow. The film boasts an exceptional 88% critics’ score and 81% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, while winning Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects and today, it’s regularly cited among the greatest science-fiction films ever made and one of Villeneuve’s defining achievements. Villeneuve would go on to direct Dune and Dune: Part Two, with Dune: Part Three due for release this year. He will also direct the next James Bond film, so it’s fair to say that the disappointment of Blade Runner 2049 hasn’t hurt the genius.

Blade Runner 2049 is streaming on Paramount+.

Former PGA Tour golfer Matt McQuillan has died. He was 45.

“It is with heavy hearts we share the passing of Matthew Justin McQuillan (Matty to most).

He passed away at KGH Wednesday August 5, 2026, surrounded by family,” an obituary shared in The Kingston Whig Standard reads. “Matty was a respected golfer, devoted son, hilarious brother and friend.”

A cause of death has not been publicly revealed at the time of publication.

Hollywood mourned the deaths of some of its most legendary stars in 2026. In June, legendary music executive Clive Davis also died at age 94 following a hospitalization for an upper respiratory infection. At the end of the month, news broke that the Village People lead singer Victor Willis had died. Actor Joby Baker died […]

McQuillan is survived by his family, including father Mark, who kickstarted the professional athlete’s love of golf.

“His father, Mark, started teaching him how to swing the club at the young age of ten and his passion and talent grew immensely,” the obituary continued. “Starting as a junior on the Canadian Tour and making it to the PGA in 2011, Matt developed lifelong friendships while mentoring anyone who loved the game of golf.”

The statement concluded, “He will be deeply missed by many and his spirit, love and compassion will be remembered every day. Rest easy, Matty. We love you.”

The Kingston Whig-Standard, a newspaper in McQuillan’s hometown of Ontario, Canada, published a longer obituary in honor of the former golf star via its website.

“Whether on the course or in everyday life, he had a remarkable ability to bring people together, offering encouragement, laughter and genuine friendship to everyone he met,” McQuillan’s family wrote. “His welcoming personality and unwavering kindness made him a beloved figure within Kingston’s golfing community and beyond. Friends who shared rounds with him remember his enthusiasm, positive attitude and appreciation for every moment spent on the course.”

His relatives added, “[Matt] celebrated the successes of others as readily as his own and was always willing to encourage fellow golfers, regardless of their skill level.”

McQuillan, who turned pro in 2003, earned his PGA Tour card through the 2010 PGA Tour Q-School, competing in the tournaments throughout the 2011 season. The golfer memorably finished in third place at the 2011 John Deere Classic.

“It’s still a little hard to believe that I’m part of the PGA Tour,” he wrote in a ScoreGolf essay after his 2011 PGA Tour debut. “The three months since I earned my card at qualifying school have been overwhelming at times, but this is a great job and I’m lucky to be here. Even though the golf hasn’t gone as well as I’ve wanted, my focus is on staying patient and remaining confident.”

In the years after stepping away from professional golf, McQuillan served as a golf instructor in his hometown.

Like any iconic science fiction franchise, Doctor Who has developed certain traits that make it stand out from the pack. The Doctor often travels through time and space in the TARDIS, encountering alien forces along the way. More often than not, a series of companions will join the Doctor and find their lives irrevocably changed. Every so often, the Doctor will regenerate into a new form, giving a new actor the chance to put their mark on the iconic character. But the best part of Doctor Who was established with five words in the iconic episode, “Genesis of the Daleks.”

In “Genesis of the Daleks,” the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) is charged by the Time Lords to travel to the home planet of his most nefarious foes, the Daleks, and wipe them out of existence. This leads to a tense moment between the Fourth Doctor and his companion, Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen), after he rigs the Daleks’ incubation room with explosives; hesitating before he can touch together a set of wires and set off the explosions, the Doctor asks Sarah Jane, “Do I have the right?” In a single sentence, Doctor Who added a new layer of meaning to its story and its protagonist.

‘Genesis of the Daleks’ Established The Doctor’s Morality

“Genesis of the Daleks” stands out as one of the most morally complex episodes of Doctor Who, especially when it comes to the Daleks. While previous episodes of Doctor Who established them as some of the most evil beings in the universe, “Genesis of the Daleks” shows that their creator, Davros, designed them to be weapons of war. There’s also the revelation that their home planet Skaro was ravaged by civil war, leading to the acceleration of the Daleks’ creation. Even the Doctor doesn’t escape unscathed; after seeing the horror Davros is capable of, he decides to set off the explosives… but is beaten to the punch as one Dalek accidentally triggers them and buries his future enemy in a cave. “Genesis of the Daleks” is the kind of sci-fi story that lingers with you long after its credits roll, and that’s an approach that was needed for such a heavy topic.

With the “Do I have the right?” speech, “Genesis of the Daleks” also underlined that the Doctor seeks a peaceful resolution to his conflicts. Throughout his discussion with Sarah Jane, the Doctor argues that if he triggers the explosives and kills the Daleks, he’d be participating in the same kind of evil that they’ll eventually embrace. It also draws a hard line between the Doctor and the rest of the Time Lords, showcasing that he chooses to embrace pacifism while they’re willing to solve the problems facing the universe by any means necessary. Whether it’s his sonic screwdriver, psychic paper, or quick thinking, the Doctor will find a way to save everyone he can.

The ‘Doctor Who’ Revival Reshaped The Doctor’s Rivalry with the Daleks

The fallout of “Genesis of the Daleks” continued to affect Doctor Who, especially in the second series that started airing in 2005. During the episode “Dalek,” it’s revealed that Christopher Eccleston‘s Ninth Doctor is the last survivor of the “Time War,” which saw the entirety of the Daleks and the Time Lords wiped out. Therefore, the Doctor is horrified to discover that a lone Dalek survivedand wants it destroyed; only after Rose Tyler (Billie Piper) touches the Dalek does it show a measure of mercy and winds up killing itself. Writer Rob Shearman said that he and showrunner Russell T. Davies wanted to deliver an emotional hour of television:

“Russell wanted to make it an emotional episode, something that doesn’t rely on people running down corridors…I decided to take all those things people find funny about the Daleks and turn them into something people would find memorable. This is also the first time we’ll see inside the Dalek.”

The two-parter “The Magician’s Apprentice” and “The Witch’s Familiar” takes things one step further with Peter Capaldi‘s Twelfth Doctor encountering a younger version of Davros, and subsequently abandoning him; the guilt starts to eat at the Doctor once he learns Davros is dying. In both of these cases, Doctor Who showcases how the Doctor has changed over the years, but his questioning of whether he has the right to wipe out an entire race has shaped his actions.

Taylor Frankie Paul is speaking out after a judge ruled that the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star had successfully completed the terms of her three-year probation.

“Three years probation complete. All my [probation officers] said it was one of the longest probations they had seen for [a] first-time offense,” Paul, 32, wrote via Instagram on Friday, August 7. “Back then, I wasn’t even aware of what [domestic violence] was. Unfortunately, many will experience it as many already have.”

Us confirmed earlier on Friday that Paul was no longer on probation with a judge amending her aggravated assault felony charge to a Class A misdemeanor. She had been arrested in 2023 following an alleged altercation with then-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen. At the time, Paul pleaded guilty to assault as part of a plea deal to dismiss other charges pertaining to child abuse.

“DV is a sneaky cycle to get stuck in because by the time you realize what actually is happening you’re already stuck in it,” Paul stated on Friday. “I don’t care if you see me as the villain or victim. This all surfacing the way it viciously and vindictively did, has been hell on earth and if I didn’t have the support I have I don’t think I would have made it through.”

Details about Taylor Frankie Paul’s 2023 arrest have resurfaced in the wake of her latest scandal. News broke in March 2026 that Taylor and on-again, off-again boyfriend Dakota Mortensen were allegedly involved in a domestic dispute. A spokesperson for Utah’s Draper City Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly that there was an open “domestic assault […]

Footage from Paul’s arrest was leaked in March, where the influencer was seen throwing chairs at Mortensen, 33, in front of her daughter, Indy. (Taylor shares Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 6, with ex-husband Tate Paul, as well as son Ever, 2, with Mortensen.)

In light of the video’s release, Taylor temporarily lost custody of Ever. She has since been awarded visitation rights from a judge, who also issued mutual protective orders to Taylor and Mortensen. (The now-exes must stay 100 feet away from each other at all times.)

“This has been a very toxic relationship. It’s beyond the pale in a lot of ways, the toxicity,” the judge said during an April hearing. “What I’ve seen from the evidence even post [the] last hearing, there seems to be a continuing attraction that they have for each other. … You guys have to figure out a lot here. You have to figure out how to function as coparents.”

“I’m hoping that you’re not people who just thrive on the drama and the conflict. You’ve got to put your child first and shield the child from this conflict,” the judge stated at the time. “I’m going to leave the current order in place. I need to think a little bit more about this lifting of supervision. I have mixed feelings about it.”

Taylor and Mortensen have each vehemently denied the accusations against themselves.

Chris Brown Files Court Documents To Protect Tour Royalties

Chris Brown recently filed documents to prevent his former housekeeper away from his tour royalties, according to TMZ. The ‘Residuals’ singer was ordered to pay Maria Avila $13 million last month after she won a lawsuit claiming his dog attacked her back in 2020.

Brown is reportedly asking the court to block Avila from collecting her $13 million lawsuit judgement from his tour royalties and future earnings. Avila is reportedly attempting to have dibs on all of Brown’s present and future income until the judgement is settled.

Amanda Kloots may have hung up her ballroom shoes, but she’s always one to give advice to new contestants on Dancing With the Stars.

“I know a couple people [joining season 35] but that’s only because — it’s funny, people reach out when they’re like, ‘I’m thinking about doing this show. Should I do it?’” Kloots, 44, exclusively told Us while promoting her “Good Grief with Amanda Kloots” podcast. “I’m always like, ‘Yes, yes, you should do it. It’ll be the best, hardest thing you do, but it’ll be the best thing you ever do. I promise you, you will not regret it.’”

Kloots played coy about who reached out to her about the show, which has confirmed four contestants: Love Island’s Maura Higgins, Summer House star Ciara Miller, Savannah Bananas’ Jackson Olson and Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez. ABC has yet to disclose more celebrities or pros competing on the series, which is set to premiere on September 15.

“Pretty much every year after I’ve done the show, I’ve had somebody reach out going, ‘OK, did you really like this? Did you really have a good time?’ And I’m always like, ‘If you do not sign up for that show, you’re really missing the boat,’” she said.

The Dancing With the Stars ballroom is filling up fast for season 35. While simultaneously confirming the reality competition’s renewal, Hulu shared during the Get Real House event in April that Summer House’s Ciara Miller and Love Island star Maura Higgins would be lacing up their dancing shoes. The following month, Savannah Bananas second baseman Jackson […]

Kloots appeared on season 30 of the hit ABC competition show, where she was partnered with Alan Bersten. The pair ultimately placed fourth and lost to champions Iman Shumpert and pro Daniella Karagach. Kloots, however, would be game to try her hand at an all-star season.

“I would be there. I’m sure [casting director and executive producer] Deena Katz and ABC know that I would be there in a heartbeat,” she told Us. “I mean, it would be a dream come true. I’m so proud of that show.”

Kloots went on to gush about the series recently receiving an Emmy nomination, which she said was “so well deserved” given its “wonderful atmosphere.”

“Everybody’s rooting for each other,” she said. “There’s no jealousy or cattiness or fights or mean spirited. Everybody’s there to help each other. It’s such a wonderful experience. I would love to go back.”

While not quite an all-star season, Kloots did return to the ballroom for DWTS Con in Palm Springs earlier this month and performed a number alongside Bersten, 32, and former champ Hannah Brown.

“It was so fun, oh my gosh!” Kloots said. “I love that show so much and dancing has always been a part of my life. But then I packed my shoes away. When I got to do that show, it was such a part of my healing journey. I am forever grateful. So to be back with that family — and I say family because they are all those pros are incredible and they now have children. Everybody’s in the dressing room and playing with everybody, and they’re all so kind and so supportive and they work so hard. Then all the celebrities that came back are like me, they just love this show so much and have been so grateful to be a part of it. It’s just sort of like this big love fest amidst this crazy dancing.”

Days after appearing at the fan convention, Kloots launched the “Good Grief With Amanda Kloots” podcast with Dear Media. Kloots, whose husband Nick Cordero died in 2020 after facing COVID-19 complications, hopes to feature candid conversations about facing significant changes in life. (Kloots and Cordero shared son Elvis, whom they welcomed in 2019.)

“It’s been six years since I lost my husband. I do a lot of therapy, from science-backed therapy to very woo-woo — I live in Los Angeles, so I’ve done almost all of it,” she shared. “It was in this last year that I had this kind of turnaround in therapy with my relationship to grief.”

Kloots explained that she helps “a lot of widows” who she takes “under [her] wing and try to help because widows did that” for her when she was “newly grieving.”

“We all talk about how to survive grief in the beginning, but we don’t really talk about the beauty and the things that grief can teach us because we live with it,” she noted. “We live with it for the rest of our lives. It isn’t going anywhere, which was my misconception. I thought I could heal it, and I’d get my graduate certificate. And it isn’t that. It’s how you learn to live with it, and most importantly, how you can learn to love yourself again in this grief. So that’s hopefully the message of the podcast.”
