Lori Harvey
Snowfalling For Damson Idris’ Charms …
Makeout Sesh Over Two Years After Breakup
Published
BACKGRID
Lori Harvey and Damson Idris didn’t just add fuel to the rumors they’ve rekindled their romance … they doused them in gasoline and lit a match with some hot and heavy lip-locking!
The two stars were spotted hanging out after a Paris Fashion Week event Friday … chatting up on a balcony above the street.
The two engaged in a flirty conversation for a little while … before Lori grabs Damson and pulls him in for a passionate embrace.
The two get real into it … holding each other for a long while — before eventually splitting apart. Damson leaves the room, but Lori stays behind and hangs out in front of the window for a while longer.
Eventually, photogs caught her leaving the party … looking composed in her tight black dress as she hopped into a waiting van. Damson joined her shortly after.
If the two hoped their separate exits might throw the paparazzi off the scent … it’s unlikely to work. Passion like that ain’t easily forgotten.
Remember … Lori and Damson dated back in 2023, though they split up after less than a year together. Recent appearances — including a fun-filled weekend at Miami Art Week last year — had some fans raising their eyebrows.
That hang — and another at a beach in September — got the rumor mill churning … though it seems safe to say their reconciliation is more real than rumor now!

“This is definitely somebody white,” she said, failing to recognize 2008’s “Double Dutch Bus.”
Brooke Shields can still remember her ever-so-brief romance with the late John F. Kennedy Jr. — and she’s willing to spill the tea.
“I wonder if JFK Jr. was a good kisser?” Shields’ daughter Rowan Henchy wrote over a Friday, March 6, TikTok video, while lip-synching to Charli XCX’s “Boom Clap.”
The camera then panned to Shields, 60, who also mouthed the lyrics.
“‘One of the best,’” text overlaying the video read.
Rowan, one of Shields’ two daughters she shares with husband Chris Henchy, further acknowledged her mom’s relationship history in a TikTok caption.
“But don’t forget … they never dated,” Rowan, 22, wrote.
Shields was briefly romantically linked to JFK Jr., son of President John F. Kennedy and wife Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, in the 1980s.

“He kept saying I looked like his mother, which was really interesting and a compliment, [but] I also was like, ‘I don’t know how to feel about this,’” Shields recalled on The Howard Stern Show in 2023. “And then, we did have a real date. I wouldn’t sleep with him because I kind of loved him too much.”
According to Shields, she shared a kiss with JFK Jr. on their one-off date.
STARTRAKSPHOTO.COM John F. Kennedy Jr. and wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy had a high-profile romance right up until their tragic deaths. When the couple began dating in 1994, the world was fascinated by their relationship. Considered to be one of the most eligible bachelors at the time, Kennedy Jr. decided to settle down with Bessette-Kennedy. As he […]
“It was beyond not-disappointing,” she recalled to radio host Howard Stern. “I froze though because he was so precious to me. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, you’re falling in love, and if you sleep with him he may not talk to you again — and you can’t handle that.’”
The actress continued, “I wasn’t playing a game. I really was just so afraid of being really hurt, because if I slept with him I would’ve given him my entire universe, my heart, my everything.”
Shields later married tennis star Andre Agassi in 1997, two years before calling it quits. She tied the knot with now-husband Chris, 61, in 2001 before they welcomed Rowan and her sister, Grier Henchy.
As for JFK Jr., he was married to longtime love Carolyn Bessette from 1996 until their tragic deaths in a 1999 plane crash. Their romance has recently been immortalized in FX’s Love Story anthology.
“We had Elizabeth Beller’s book for reference, but we did face challenges [capturing certain moments],” executive producer Brad Simpson exclusively told Us Weekly in February of adapting the political couple’s story. “They died so young, but we had enough information from people around them to know what the problems were in their marriage, what the tensions were, what the highs were, what the lows were.”
JFK Jr. and Bessette are played by Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon, respectively.

18 Years Before He Took Over the Franchise, Dave Filoni Directed the Worst Star Wars Film
When Dave Filoni was announced to take over from Kathleen Kennedy as head of Lucasfilm, many would have felt that Star Wars was being given to the correct successor. After all, while Ahsoka and The Book of Boba Fett may not have captured the hearts and minds of many Star Wars fans, The Mandalorian reinvigorated excitement in the live-action side of the franchise, and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, along with Star Wars: Rebels, are still rightfully considered some of the best Star Wars content ever produced.
However, there was a time when Filoni was not the biggest name in Star Wars. Before 2008, few would have known Filoni for anything other than his involvement in the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and many would come to initially know him for directing the worst film in the Star Wars universe: Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The film and the show had the same name, meaning many would wipe the awful former from their memories, but that doesn’t change the fact that The Clone Wars film is not only poorly structured, but feels thoroughly underbaked in terms of both animation and characters.
‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Feels Like a Set of Disjointed Episodes
Star Wars: The Clone Wars film is meant to serve as the introduction to the series, yet the series’ non-linear structure snuck its way into the film, creating a disjointed, meandering plot. The Clone Wars film begins on Christophisis, where Anakin (Matt Lanter) and Obi-Wan (James Arnold Taylor) face a droid army as The Republic tries to gain a foothold in the Outer Rim. Facing dire circumstances, Anakin is sent a padawan in the form of Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein), and the trio defeats the army. This is where the story takes a sharp pivot in setting, goal, and tone. Jabba’s (Kevin Michael Richardson) son, Rotta (David Acord), is kidnapped, and the trio is sent to Tatooine to save the Huttlet and return him to his father to barter an alliance with the Hutts, confronting Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) along the way.
However, this pivot does not feel natural, and instead creates a jarring sensation where what feels like a war film on Christophisis, with several clones brutally dying in the pursuit of victory, becomes a silly adventure to find Rotta, who makes normal baby noises yet isn’t cute, but unnerving. From both Filoni’s comments on the Force-Cast: Clone Wars Roundtable podcast and how George Lucas talks about deciding to create a Clone Wars feature as “an afterthought” after seeing the first episodes on the big screen, it appears the Clone Wars film was originally going to be the first episodes of the series, but they were edited together. Considering the odd combination of settings and plots, this explains a lot, as many beats in the film feel like the beginning or end of a new episode, rather than a three-act structure, such as when the mission on Christophisis is completed, and the turn towards Tatooine begins.
‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Animation and Character Dynamics Are Amateurish at Times
When most think of The Clone Wars, their minds will drift to the beautiful animation that only a few TV shows can compare to, especially in Season 7, along with the lovable dynamic between the charismatic Anakin and wise-beyond-her-years Ahsoka. However, in the Clone Wars feature, the animation is incredibly clunky. While there are some great action scenes on Christophisis with the clone troopers, it is scenes when characters are merely talking that we are merely given mid-shots with no movement in the camera, such as when Ahsoka, Anakin, and Obi-Wan discuss their plan on Christophisis or Obi-Wan’s meeting with Jabba, with characters moving far too smoothly compared to the more natural movement seen in later seasons.
Additionally, these stilted animations don’t help the lackluster character dynamics between Ahsoka and Anakin. Throughout the film, they bicker back and forth, with Anakin being at times nasty to Ahsoka and the young padawan feeling incredibly naive and arrogant, with lines such as “technically, I outrank you,” to Rex (Dee Bradley Baker), or “I’m the one with enthusiasm!” to Anakin over-emphasizing the fact that this is a child in a war. While this would become a key point of Ahsoka’s character and the commentary on war, in the Clone Wars feature, it merely feels like a jarring tone because she is overly naive, which led many to dislike her characterization at first, before Filoni would develop the character to act more maturely later on.
For many, including myself, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film is a part of their childhood, and there is nostalgia in watching the battle on Christophisis and Anakin’s confrontation with Dooku. But that doesn’t distract from the 18% Rotten Tomatoes score, which is thoroughly deserved considering the film’s flaws. However, there is also a lesson in patience here. While the Clone Wars film is truly awful, it spawned a show that would become iconic, making the initial growing pains of Filoni and Lucas’s brainchild more than worth it in the end.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is available to stream on Disney+ in the U.S.

Victoria Beckham had the support of most of her family at her 2026 Paris Fashion Week show.
“Thank you for always being there to support me. I love you all so much xxx,” Beckham, 51, wrote via Instagram on Friday, March 6, after her eponymous fashion brand’s Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show during Paris Fashion Week.
Victoria was joined by her husband, David Beckham, and their youngest three children: Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 14. (Cruz’s girlfriend, Jackie Apostel, was also present.)
“We are always so proud and astonished about what you achieve every single season raising the bar and continuing to live the dream that you have worked so hard for,” David wrote via Instagram, praising his wife’s designs. “You and your team really are incredible and we are proud to be here to witness the beauty that you continue to bring to each collection. We love you.”
Victoria Beckham made a public declaration of love for all four of her children amid ongoing speculation about the relationship between her eldest son, Brooklyn, and his parents following his no-show at dad David’s recent 50th birthday celebrations. Posting to her Instagram Stories on Monday, May 19, Victoria, 51, shared a cute photo of her […]
The former Spice Girls singer and David, 50, are also parents of son Brooklyn, 27, from whom they are currently estranged.
“I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” Brooklyn claimed in a lengthy social media statement shared in January. “The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.”
Brooklyn further alleged that his parents had “been trying endlessly to ruin” his relationship with Nicola Peltz Beckham before they tied the knot in 2022.
“I have been controlled by my parents for most of my life. I grew up with overwhelming anxiety. For the first time in my life, since stepping away from my family, that anxiety has disappeared,” Brooklyn alleged. “I wake up every morning grateful for the life I chose, and have found peace and relief. My wife and I do not want a life shaped by image, press or manipulation. All we want [is] peace, privacy and happiness for us and our future family.”
Neither Victoria nor David publicly responded to their son’s claims. Us Weekly reached out for comment at the time.
David and Victoria Beckham’s birthday messages didn’t immediately spark a reunion with their son Brooklyn Beckham. “Brooklyn ignored David’s attempt at getting his attention with that birthday post,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “He thinks it’s just another way for them to save face with the public and that it did not feel meaningful.” […]
While Brooklyn has since stopped speaking to his parents and siblings, David and Victoria both publicly marked his 27th birthday earlier this week.
“Happy 27th birthday Brooklyn. I love you so much,” Victoria wrote via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, March 4, sharing throwback family photos.
David also shared a birthday tribute to his eldest son, writing via his account, “Happy Birthday Bust. Love you x.” (David and Brooklyn had long called one another “buster” as a nickname.)
Victoria Beckham‘s Netflix documentary highlights sweet moments with her family — but did all of her and David Beckham‘s children make an appearance? The three-part special, which premiered on Thursday, October 9, follows Victoria, 51, as she prepares for her clothing brand’s 2024 show at Paris Fashion Week. While highlighting her rising prominence within the […]
Brooklyn, however, didn’t publicly acknowledge his parents’ messages.
“Brooklyn ignored David’s attempt at getting his attention with that birthday post,” a source exclusively told Us. “He thinks it’s just another way for them to save face with the public and that it did not feel meaningful.”
According to the insider, Brooklyn was “still keeping his distance” from the Beckhams and rang in his birthday with Nicola, 31.
“He had a lovely day celebrating with Nicola, and she made him feel special,” the insider added to Us. “He is not letting any of the nonsense bother him.”

“Pulp Fiction”'s Rosanna Arquette blasts Quentin Tarantino's use of N-word in films: 'It's not art, it's just racist'
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Quentin-Tarantino-Pulp-Fiction-30726-b1471a2c697b4e9186c5ca06b3bc07d6.jpg)
The actress says she “cannot stand” that the director “has been given a hall pass” to use the slur.
Before he was crowned the savior of Hollywood for refusing to give in and insisting that Top Gun: Maverick be released in theaters, Tom Cruise was trying his best to score a franchise that he could count on. He had the Mission: Impossible movies, of course. But there was clearly intent to secure a back-up plan in case things went south. Cruise was weighing the possibility of doing another Top Gun film, but Maverick wouldn’t be put together until a few years later. Together with his former producing partner Paula Wagner, Cruise decided to finally fast-track a property whose rights they had purchased in 2005. This was around the same time as Mission: Impossible III‘s tumultuous production.
The movie in question was released in 2012 to relatively positive reviews, but its greatest contribution was heralding director Christopher McQuarrie‘s return. McQuarrie had worked as a writer on numerous projects with Cruise, but it was only after proving his chops with the 2012 film that he was hired to essentially spearhead the next era of Mission: Impossible movies. He ended up directing four in a row — Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation, Mission: Impossible — Fallout, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning, and Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning. The movie in question has left a rather uneven legacy, with the author of the novel series it was based on retroactively voicing his dissatisfaction with it.
Collider Acrostic — The Collider Movie Quiz!
Can you answer these movie questions, wherein each correct response begins with a successive letter of the word “Collider”?
Here’s the Tom Cruise Thriller That Caused an Uproar
We’re talking, of course, about Jack Reacher. Author Lee Child initially supported Cruise’s casting, even though the character is famously supposed to be a towering, tree-trunk-sized man. But he later admitted that Cruise simply didn’t fit the bill. Reacher is now played, much to the fans’ appreciation, by Alan Ritchson in Prime Video’s hit series Reacher. The show has aired three seasons so far, and is scheduled to return for a fourth. Cruise’s movie was quite successful; it grossed nearly $220 million worldwide against a reported budget of $60 million. It holds a 64% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, and was followed by a sequel titled Jack Reacher: Never Go Back. The second film wasn’t as successful, both critically and commercially. Cruise effectively abandoned the property, which was rebooted in 2022 with Ritchson’s show.
You can watch Jack Reacher for free this month on Pluto TV, and see for yourself what all the fuss was about. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Downtown Los Angeles
Man Dies By Self-Mutilation …
Cuts Off Own Penis
Published
A man in Los Angeles died Friday night after cutting off his own genitalia … TMZ has confirmed.
The Los Angeles Police Department received a call about a man harming himself in Downtown Los Angeles around 3:40 AM.
After arriving on the scene, they set up a white tent to keep onlookers from seeing the man’s body … though a videographer at the scene captured pools of blood staining the sidewalk.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the man cut off his penis, sliced his throat and stabbed himself with a sharp instrument. We’re told he also tried to cut off his arm.
It’s unclear at this time what he used to harm himself. Officers also do not know the man’s motivation … or if he was on drugs at the time.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org.
Jeffrey Epstein
Googled By Guard Mere Minutes Before Death
Published
A correctional officer working in the wing where Jeffrey Epstein was incarcerated the night he died searched his case on the internet less than an hour before his death … this according to Department of Justice records.
Tova Noel — a former guard at Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Lower Manhattan, New York City — did a couple Google searches about Epstein’s case on August 10, 2019 around 5:43 AM. The convicted pedophile was found dead around 6:30 AM.
Noel searched “latest on Epstein in jail” and clicked on an article about documents related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, her newly released search history reveals.
Worth noting … Epstein wasn’t the only inmate who drew Noel’s interest — after looking up Epstein, she searched for the latest info on Omar Amanat.
Amanat was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy in 2017 … and he was locked up alongside Epstein at the time of his death.
Noel also googled a variety of other subjects that morning … including discounts through Verizon for law enforcement.
Remember … Noel and another guard on duty — correctional officer Michael Thomas — were fired after Epstein’s body was found. Prosecutors accused them of not completing their 30-minute rounds as mandated. Criminal charges against the pair were filed and later dropped.
Noel has denied having anything to do with Epstein’s death. When asked about googling him by the DOJ, she told the department she didn’t recall doing so.
