Michelle Rodriguez Says Young Stars Dying Is ‘Not Normal’
Michelle Rodriguez is sharing her reaction to the news of Hayden Panettiere’s death, as well as the deaths of other young celebrities.
“I’ve got to tell you, man, I just can’t stand how many young people are leaving us lately,” Rodriguez, 48, told Variety on Monday, August 17, at a 25th anniversary screening of The Fast and the Furious in Los Angeles. “It’s disheartening, and it’s making me think, ‘What’s going on?’ It’s not normal.”
“I don’t want to speculate about anything, but it’s weird,” she added. “Just in general, the amount and the volume of it since 2010 to now, it’s a lot.”
The actress cohosted the World Music Awards alongside Panettiere back in 2010 and said she most remembered the Nashville and Heroes alum’s “curious spirit and how happy and joyous she is, because that’s her memory, right?”
Hollywood is mourning the tragic loss of Hayden Panettiere at age 36. The Heroes and Nashville alum’s representative confirmed to Us on Sunday, August 16, that the actress had died. Details surrounding Panettiere’s death were not immediately available. “It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden,” Panettiere’s father, […]
Panettiere died on Sunday, August 16, in Greenville, South Carolina. She was 36.
“It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her — and to the millions who watched her onscreen,” her father, Skip Panettiere, said in a statement to Us on Sunday.
The actress’ death was preceded by the death of her Ice Princess costar Michelle Trachtenberg in February 2005, who died from diabetes-related complications at age 39. Earlier this year, Hollywood also mourned the death of The Ring actress Daveigh Chase, who died of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in June.
Rodriguez, too, has been affected by the death of a former costar gone too soon. Her Fast & Furious costar Paul Walker died in a car crash in November 2013 at age 40.
“I actually went on a bit of a binge,” she said of the time after Walker’s death in a 2015 interview with Entertainment Weekly. “I went pretty crazy. A lot of the stuff I did last year I would never do had I been in my right mind.”
“I could see Paul once every two years and just know there was another human on the planet who’s deep like me, who loves like that,” Rodriguez continued. “When that disappears, you wonder, ‘Wait a minute, what do I hold on to?’ There was nothing to tether me to this existence: ‘Why am I f***ing here? And, like, why’d you leave without me?’”
“I have to say, you know, when I lost Paul, I went through about a year of just being an animal,” Rodriguez later said in the controversial 2016 documentary The Reality of Truth, which is about the effects of psychedelics like ayahuasca. “Like, what could I do, physically, to just get my mind off of existentialism? Get my mind off of how transient life is and how we come here and can just disappear at any moment. How could I get my mind off that? I did everything I could possibly do to hide from myself, and I’ll tell you that my ayahuasca trip made me sad that he left me here. It wasn’t a sadness that he’s gone, it’s more like a jealousy that he’s there first.”

The Yellowstone franchise has expanded on CBS with Marshals while going through some major changes including cast shifts and a surprise offscreen death.
The hit Paramount+ franchise started with Taylor Sheridan‘s hit series Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018. Fans got to know the Duttons — including Kayce (Luke Grimes) and Monica (Kelsey Asbille), who remained at the center of the show until the finale.
After teaching at a local school on the Broken Rock Indian Reservation, Monica went on to become a professor at Montana State University while navigating life with Kayce, who moved them back to the Yellowstone Ranch following his past tension with dad John (Kevin Costner).
The original show came to an end in 2024, later expanding its universe with Grimes’ CBS show Marshals and Dutton Ranch. Marshals quickly found success when it premiered on CBS in 2026 — but it also shocked existing fans with the reveal that Monica died.
The Yellowstone cast has continued to find success after the hit Paramount Network show came to an end — with some even scoring spinoffs. Yellowstone, which ran from 2018 to 2024, became an overnight success for its story about the conflicts along the shared border of a large cattle ranch, the Broken Rock Indian reservation […]
Puck reported at the time that Marshals ran into issues when plotting out the new CBS show centered on Kayce’s life after Yellowstone. To avoid making the new series too identical to its flagship show, Marshals chose to remove Monica from the narrative and shift the voice of the show to be more of a fast-paced procedural.
According to the newsletter, Paramount allegedly worked with lawyers for months on how to successfully feature other Yellowstone leads Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) in their own Dutton Ranch spinoff without facing potential legal issues over their story being too similar to the OG show.
CBS and Paramount have not publicly addressed the Puck report.
Ahead of season 2, keep scrolling for everything to know about the Marshals changes:
Offscreen Death
When the series premiered in March 2026, fans were shocked to learn that Kayce’s wife, Monica, had died after battling cancer.
“Kayce had such a perfect ending in Yellowstone,” showrunner Spencer Hudnut told TVLine at the time. “His dreams had finally come true. As we were trying to figure out how to tell the next chapter in Kayce’s story, it felt like he really needed to be shaken out of that. Unfortunately, tragedy tends to find Kayce, so something bad was going to happen for him one way or the other. It just sort of played out that it was going to be Monica.”
Hudnut said Monica’s death will continue to drive Kayce, adding, “To me, Monica is really guiding Kayce through this first episode, trying to help him find his new path. And if you actually break it down, Tate is at that rally to honor his mother, and Kayce goes there to protect Tate. So if not for Monica, Kayce never would have been in that position and may not have found this path.”
He concluded: “We really wanted to be respectful of the way that we said goodbye to her. I also didn’t want to step on the ending of Yellowstone, because what they had was a beautiful ending. Unfortunately, real life intervened.”
Asbille has not yet broken her silence on Monica’s onscreen death. She did grant access for her likeness to be used on the show, which allowed Marshals to include photos of the fictional character on screen.
Finale Concerns
During the season 1 finale, which aired in May 2026, Andrea (Ash Santos) was offered a job that would take her from Montana to Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, (Arielle Kebbel) and Cal (Logan Marshall-Green) were on a mission when they got ambushed — with Tom Weaver (Chris Mulkey) involved in the potentially deadly situation.
(In the season 2 first look, Kayce, Miles (Tatanka Means), Andrea and Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham) made appearances — but Cal and Belle were noticeably missing.)
It wasn’t clear whether Belle and Cal were killed off screen despite the show being renewed for season 2. Marshall-Green and Kebbel, however, hinted to The Hollywood Reporter at the time that they have begun filming season 2.
Cast Changes
Deadline confirmed in August 2026 that the spinoff will feature more scenes with Cal’s estranged daughter, Maddie (Morgan Lindholm). Lindholm’s expanded role comes after Maddie was introduced in season 1 as a bartender with a surprising connection to Cal. She later started dating Miles, which will also continue to be explored.
The show also cast Marque Richardson in a recurring role as Assistant U.S. Attorney Patrick Burns.
Rocky tells the tale of down-on-his-luck Philadelphia fighter Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone, who also penned the script), who gets a chance to fight heavyweight champ Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). While he’s not expected to put up much of a fight, Balboa’s determined to go the distance, with the help of cantankerous trainer Mickey (Burgess Meredith), his best friend Paulie (Burt Young), and his new girlfriend Adrian (Talia Shire). The movie became a surprise hit and won three Oscars, including Best Picture; it also spawned a host of sequels and rocketed Stallone to superstardom.
The iconic film turns 50 this year, and you can celebrate with a new book full of gorgeous art inspired by it. The Fine Art of Rocky: An Artistic Tribute From Screen to Canvas hits shelves this fall, and it’s almost as good as a ringside seat to the creation of 1976’s Rocky. Today, Collider is proud to present an exclusive look at the dazzling art you’ll find inside The Fine Art of Rocky.
The Fine Art of Rocky is penned by John Rivoli, the official artist for MGM’s Rocky franchise. The book, which comes from Insight Editions, features art inspired by all five movies of the original Rocky series. It also features an all-new introduction written by Stallone. It will be available in both a standard edition and an exclusive deluxe edition limited to 300 individually numbered copies; the limited edition will be released in a bespoke clamshell box and will be personally signed by Rivoli. It will also come with an exclusive cover and four exclusive 16-by-20 Rivoli prints. Both standard and limited editions can be pre-ordered now, and will be available in stores this October.
How Else Is ‘Rocky’s 50th Anniversary Being Celebrated?
This fall, you can see where Rocky began in the new biopic I Play Rocky. Directed by Peter Farrelly, the film chronicles the quest of an unknown Sylvester Stallone (Anthony Ippolito) to get his script made into a movie, with the important caveat that he plays Rocky. It also stars AnnaSophia Robb, Toby Kebbell, Stephan James, Tracy Letts, and Jay Duplass, and will premiere on November 6,
Both the limited edition and the trade edition of The Fine Art of Rocky: An Artistic Tribute From Screen to Canvas can be pre-ordered now, and will be available in stores in October. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Fall film festival season is just around the corner, which means it’s almost the most fantastic time of the year. In exactly one month, Fantastic Fest, the U.S.’s premier genre cinema festival, will be back for its 21st iteration in Austin, Texas, to showcase the very best in horror, sci-fi, and more from September 17 through 24. This year, the event will play host to a selection of 73 features and episodic projects, including 35 World Premieres, 21 International and North American Premieres, and 14 U.S. Premieres. That’s all in addition to the typical special events with exciting guests and Opening and Closing Night parties that bookend the fest with a bang.
Last year’s iteration was a milestone for Fantastic Fest, marking 20 years since Alamo Drafthouse‘s Tim League founded the event as a haven for unique cinematic experiences that challenge audiences. For 2026, the festival will continue to expand with high-profile, highly-anticipated projects in addition to under-the-radar gems looking to make an impression. The full lineup of feature and episodic titles has been unveiled today, and it begins with two exciting features that emphasize all the festival stands for. Making its world premiere as the festival’s opening film is Lionsgate’s creature feature Beware Boiúna, following a medical mission in the Amazon that evolves into a fight for survival against a giant serpent of legend. Alongside it, Zach Cregger‘s much-anticipated Resident Evil, based on Capcom’s beloved series of survival horror games, will be shown in a gala screening for a one-two punch of chilling yet bombastic action.
On the flip side, directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer will close out the festivities with The Swallow, starring Stranger Things‘ Grace Van Dien. Described as a “brutally efficient, effects-forward survival horror,” it brings the throwback vibes with a story of rebellious teenagers who, after busting into a fenced-off area of the woods, are terrorized by a sentient ooze with the consistency of quicksand. As for the films in between the cappers, there are plenty of highlights. Victorian Psycho, starring Maika Monroe and Jason Isaacs, and the body horror Bloody Tennis will notably make their North American premieres, while Shudder’s Deborah Ann Woll-led The Cycle stands out among the buzzy world premieres. Horror maestro Mike Flanagan will also return to the festival to preview the first two episodes of his Carrie adaptation for the first time in the U.S. before it premieres on Prime Video on October 7. Attendees will even get to take in a screening of Martin McDonagh‘s prospective Oscar contender Wild Horse Nine after its Venice debut.
What Else Is There to Experience at Fantastic Fest?
Fantastic Fest is often a great launch pad for fledgling filmmakers, and that remains true this year with the return of Fantastic Pitches. Filmmaking teams will present their projects live for a chance at winning $100,000 in financing, distribution, and sales provided by Chroma and Narrative Global Sales to jump-start their idea, along with other goodies. First prize will be decided by a panel of judges hosted by Gore Verbinski and Catherine Hardwicke, and, to coincide with it, the event will world premiere last year’s winner, Play House. That’ll be just one of several exciting events and screenings outside the typical entries, as the fest also offers looks at new restorations, live podcast recordings, conversations, a concert, and a ceremony celebrating director Walter Hill with a special award and a viewing of his underrated neo-western classic Extreme Prejudice.
Festival Director Lisa Dreyer emphasized that, although Fantastic Fest offers attractions for all manner of genre enjoyers, the focus remains on the next generation of acclaimed filmmakers. She teased that, 21 years in, the event is only building on its programming designed to share fresh talent with audiences.
“This year, we’re doubling down on what we do best: introducing the world to exciting new talent and helping launch filmmakers’ careers. We really focused our programming efforts on bringing new discoveries to our audience of discerning and passionate cinephiles. I guarantee we have the next batch of breakout directors in our lineup, and you’ll discover them first at Fantastic Fest.”
Fantastic Fest runs from September 17 through 24 at the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar in Austin, Texas. Check out the full lineup below.

Johnny Depp could finally be preparing to sail the high seas once again.
Longtime Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer has confirmed that Johnny Depp is currently in talks to return to the franchise, potentially bringing Captain Jack Sparrow back for the upcoming sixth installment.
While speaking with Deadline during D23, Bruckheimer offered one of the most promising updates yet regarding Depp’s involvement.
“We’re talking to Johnny. We’re working on a screenplay. Hopefully we can get this done,”
Bruckheimer said.
The comments are significant because previous updates largely centered on Bruckheimer’s desire to bring Depp back. In 2025, the producer revealed that he had spoken with Depp and believed the actor could return if he was happy with how Jack Sparrow was written. Now, those conversations appear to have progressed as development continues on the screenplay.
Pirates of the Caribbean [disney]
Depp first appeared as Captain Jack Sparrow in 2003’s Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, a performance that quickly became one of the defining roles of his career. He returned for four additional movies, most recently starring in 2017’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Across its five theatrical installments, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has earned more than $4.5 billion worldwide.
Exactly what a sixth movie will look like remains unclear. Bruckheimer and Disney have spent years developing different approaches to continuing the franchise, including plans involving Margot Robbie and concepts featuring a combination of new and returning characters.

— Deadline (@DEADLINE) August 16, 2026
Most importantly, Depp has not officially signed on for Pirates of the Caribbean 6. Bruckheimer’s comments confirm that discussions are taking place, but a deal still needs to be reached and the screenplay remains in development.
Still, after years of uncertainty surrounding Captain Jack Sparrow’s future, this is arguably the strongest indication yet that Johnny Depp could actually return to the franchise.
Pirates of the Caribbean 6 does not currently have an announced release date.
Austin McBroom turned the Creators Inc. mansion into one of Los Angeles’ wildest summer destinations, and Young Thug helped take the party to another level. New footage released by BuzzStar shows the Grammy-winning rapper performing from the mansion’s roof as a packed crowd of creators gathered below. The blowout also featured an enormous waterslide, a crowded backyard and plenty of candid moments that left viewers wishing they had scored an invitation. BuzzStar shared its behind-the-scenes look at the festivities on Friday, August 14, declaring that Young Thug had “crashed our pool party.”
The Blast was told that McBroom hosted the massive gathering at the Creators Inc. mansion in Los Angeles earlier this month, bringing together online personalities for an afternoon built around music, swimming and over-the-top entertainment.
The footage shared online opens with attendees enjoying the pool as a towering blue waterslide looms over the backyard. Young Thug’s arrival then transforms the creator party into a rooftop concert, with the rapper performing above the crowd.
BuzzStar cameras moved through the property to capture more than the planned entertainment. The Reel also offered glimpses of partygoers dancing, talking, and taking in the increasingly chaotic atmosphere.
McBroom appeared to embrace that energy as he addressed the crowd with a memorable warning. “Y’all signed waivers so I can f-ck y’all up,” the YouTube personality announced.
Fans Admit The BuzzStar Party Triggered Major FOMO
The footage immediately had viewers discussing the waiver, and wondering why they had not been invited. “Party so lit you have to sign a waiver,” one person joked. Another viewer admitted, “FOMO kicking in hard,” while someone else declared, “Now that’s a party!”
Other reactions carried the same envious energy. “Ain’t no party like a Buzz Star partyyyyy,” one commenter wrote. “Where was I [sad face emoji],” another asked, while one viewer added, “This party looks sick!!!”
Creators Inc. appeared to agree with that assessment, writing in the comments, “party was TOO LIT[fire flame emoji].”
Austin McBroom And N3on Put BuzzStar In The Middle Of The Action
McBroom was not the only BuzzStar personality featured in the Reel. Kick streamer N3on also appeared in the footage, putting two members of the platform’s growing creator roster in the middle of the poolside chaos.
Both McBroom and N3on take calls through BuzzStar, which is designed around live, one-on-one video interactions between public figures and their audiences. Other names available through the service include Blueface, DDG, Sophie Rain, Nala Ray, Scott Storch and Johnny Dang.
The platform was founded by Creators Inc. CEO Andy Bachman, who built BuzzStar around the idea that followers want more than another social media post or livestream. Instead, they can book direct face time with participating creators. “Everyone in this space has been monetizing attention,” Bachman told Entrepreneur in June. “Almost nobody’s been monetizing access.”
Creators Are Turning BuzzStar Calls Into Major Earnings
The direct-access model has already produced some notable paydays. Earlier this year, creator Cole Train reportedly earned nearly six figures during a single 60-minute session on BuzzStar. The viral performance demonstrated how quickly demand for private access can translate into significant revenue.
Ray J later revealed that one call through the platform earned him $100. Although the earning potential varies by creator, those results illustrate BuzzStar’s larger strategy: turning an online following into paid, real-time conversations rather than relying exclusively on sponsored content, subscriptions or public livestreams.
The McBroom party offered the company a different type of visibility. Rather than promoting BuzzStar strictly as a calling platform, the Reel placed its creators inside an attention-grabbing real-world event headlined by one of rap’s most recognizable performers.
Young Thug Is Preparing For His First Official Tour Since 2019
Young Thug’s rooftop appearance comes shortly before he returns to the road for his biggest run of live shows in years. The Atlanta rapper is scheduled to launch “The New Generation Tour” on September 1.
The upcoming trek will mark his first official tour since 2019. The tour will introduce audiences to a new group of YSL artists as Young Thug travels across the United States before heading to Europe in October.
His return follows the release of his 2025 album, “UY SCUTI,” which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and became the rapper’s ninth project to reach the chart’s top 10. Before beginning that major tour, however, Young Thug delivered a much more unexpected performance from the Creators Inc. rooftop.
With McBroom on the microphone, N3on among the attendees and BuzzStar documenting every chaotic moment, the party gave viewers exactly what its footage promised: a summer gathering capable of triggering some serious FOMO.
Playtime has officially come home for the fifth time. After the triumphant return of Woody, Buzz, and Jessie to theaters this summer to the tune of over $1 billion at the box office, Toy Story 5 is now available to power on through digital retailers with another emotional adventure that changes the state of play forever. Pixar’s beloved franchise has tackled growing up, letting go, identity, and more through Andy and now Bonnie’s favorite toys, but with their latest outing, they finally come face to glowing face with the greatest threat to all of toykind in the modern era — tech. Enter Lilypad, an all-purpose entertainment machine voiced by Past Lives star Greta Lee that has everything Bonnie could ever want to keep occupied.
From the very first teaser, the happy-looking frog-themed tablet was poised as the latest big bad for Buzz and the gang, threatening their jobs as Bonnie spends all her time glued to the screen. Lily has her own ideas for what’s best for the kiddo and her social life, and that doesn’t involve the low-tech space man and cowgirl couple. Her presence is such an existential crisis for the toys that Woody has to return home and give his old pals a hand to stop her machinations. However, there’s more to this antagonist than pure villainy. Collider can exclusively share a featurette sneak peek that dives into Lee’s performance with help from the actress herself, writer-director Andrew Stanton, her co-star Joan Cusack, and more.
The general sentiment of the video is that everyone involved saw Lilypad as the perfect counter to Jessie specifically, and that’s in part because of Lee’s performance. Stanton praised her comedy chops, but she also brings a sense of sarcasm and know-it-all nature and the supreme confidence of a being with all of human knowledge at her fingertips through the power of the internet. That’s also framed through the vessel of a child’s tablet with a naturally cheerful voice that still cuts through whatever she does. However, beneath how she looks down upon the toys and pushes their buttons is some genuine care for her kid that especially comes through when she realizes the error of her ways. Lee had a lot of laughs in the booth, along with plenty of catharsis in helping to tell a story of children and tech that all parents in the modern day know all too well.
‘Toy Story 5’ Welcomes Loads of New Technological Toys
Lee was one of several new voices joining veterans Cusack, Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, and more for Toy Story 5. Conan O’Brien is also heard as the voice of the talking toilet training toy Smarty Pants, with other newcomers including Mykal-Michelle Harris, Craig Robinson, Shelby Rabara, and Ernie Hudson, who takes over the role of Combat Carl from the late Carl Weathers. With the home release, the fresh cast will be highlighted in the featurette “Casting Playtime,” one of several extra goodies accompanying the film, alongside “The Toys Are Back in Town,” which reintroduces the toys old and new, “50 Buzzes and the Great Escape,” breaking down the creation of the army of Lightyears, “The Lost Toys,” exploring cut characters and early designs, a gag reel, commentary, and deleted scenes. A music video for Taylor Swift‘s song “I Knew It, I Knew You” will also be included exclusively for digital buyers.
Although it’s been over 30 years since the first Toy Story, critics and audiences largely agreed that Woody and Buzz haven’t lost a step. Toy Story 5 currently holds a Certified Fresh 93% and a Verified Hot 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, with high praise for this latest reunion of the toys for a very timely, ever-relevant story. Collider’s Taylor Gates hailed the consistency of the franchise in her 8/10 review, praising the humor this time around and saying “the impressive fifth installment not only justifies its existence but feels like a necessary response to how much the world has changed in the past three decades.”
Toy Story 5 debuts on digital platforms today and hits store shelves in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on September 22. A limited edition steelbook will also release on the same day. Check out our exclusive sneak peek in the player above.

A great cardigan does so much more than keep you cozy. The right one creates a polished, pulled-together silhouette while giving you a little extra coverage through the midsection — without awkward tugging, clinging or strategic posing. The key is in the details: structured shoulders, flattering necklines, strategic buttons and gently draped fabrics that turn a simple sweater into something tailored and sophisticated.
We rounded up 17 Amazon cardigans that strike that sweet spot between comfy and polished, skimming the midsection rather than spotlighting it. From classic button-front styles and sleek V-necks to belted designs and elevated knits, these versatile layers instantly upgrade everything from jeans and trousers to dresses and skirts.
17 Tailored-Looking, Flattering Cardigans
1. Classic Knit: This lightweight cardigan is the kind of layer you’ll reach for on repeat. It has a comfortable, relaxed fit with a crew neckline, plus ribbed trim and a button front that add structure and polish. Wear it with trousers at the office or styled over a tee on casual days.
3. Sleek Short-Sleeve: Who says cardigans have to have long sleeves? This short-sleeve version features a classic crew neckline and button-front with a relaxed, non-clingy fit. The streamlined silhouette makes it easy to layer over tanks or wear solo with high-waisted pants.
4. Pretty in Pink: A little color makes a classic cardigan feel brand new. This fuzzy, acrylic-blend option pairs a rich brown base with playful pink stripes and matching buttons for a sweet yet polished finish.
As much as we love a classic black sweater, Jennifer Garner is convincing Us to wear an even richer-looking color this fall. The actress recently stepped out in a cozy burgundy knit that made her casual outfit look anything but basic. It proves that the warm wine-inspired hue is every bit as versatile as black, […]
5. Business Casual: This wool-blend cardigan has all the makings of a workwear staple. The sleek knit resists pilling and bulk while still offering plenty of stretch. Plus, it’s under $40.
6. Oversized Ease: Want extra coverage without being swallowed by your sweater? This oversized cardigan strikes a stylish balance. The below-the-hip length, dropped shoulders and lantern sleeves give things an easy, relaxed drape. Consider it an effortless layer!
7. Ruffled Charm: Ruffles meet classic stripes with this cozy cardigan that brings a little personality to your layering game. The relaxed, easy silhouette stays comfortable all day, while the ruffled cuffs add a feminine finishing touch.
7. Lapel Love: This monochrome striped cardigan puts a chic spin on everyday layering. The mini lapel neckline gives it a more tailored look, making it seem more than your average knit. Style it with wide-leg trousers for an office-ready outfit or jeans for something more relaxed.
8. 3D Florals: Forget basic florals — this cardigan features delicate 3D flowers that really pop. Long lantern sleeves, retro-inspired buttons and a crew neckline add vintage charm, while the dropped-shoulder silhouette keeps the fit relaxed.
9. Golden Details: This striped cardigan has a decidedly elevated feel, thanks in part to its gold-tone buttons. A clean crew neckline and long sleeves keep the silhouette classic, while front pockets add both function and visual interest.
10. Bow Front: Ties at the front make this oversized cardigan anything but basic. We love the slouchy silhouette, dropped shoulders and lantern sleeves for easy drape.
11. Chunky Cutie: There’s a reason chunky knits are perennial favorites. This soft cardigan combines a classic V-neck with a loose fit and textured knit for a cozy layer that still feels put-together. Leave a few buttons open over a tee or wear it as a sweater with tailored pants.
12. Nantucket Energy: Nautical stripes instantly give this V-neck find a polished, coastal feel. Style it with white denim for a look that feels straight out of Nantucket!
13. Flared Sleeves: This isn’t your standard button-up cardigan. A drapey fit and loose flared sleeves add movement, while playful seam details and ribbed trim add texture. It’s polished enough for the office but relaxed enough for weekend errands.
14. Has a Hood: For chilly days when you want your cardigan to work a little harder, this striped zip-up has you covered. A practical hood, ribbed cuffs and a relaxed fit create a cozy silhouette with plenty of structure. The smooth zipper makes it easy to throw on over everything.
15. Color-Combo Cutie: Fun color combinations give this striped cardigan vest an outfit-making appeal. The cap sleeves keep it lightweight and fresh, and you can wear it open over a tank or buttoned as a standalone top.
16. Coatigan Moment: This is the cardigan to grab when you want the cozy factor of a sweater with the polished presence of a coat. The chunky knit, knee-length silhouette and lapel collar give the oversized coatigan an expensive-looking finish.
17. Striped and Slouchy: Classic stripes get a relaxed update with this oversized V-neck cardigan. The drop-shoulder construction and lantern sleeves create a roomy silhouette that feels incredibly comfortable, but it’s still polished for everyday wear.
If your closet has been overrun by baby tees, we have some good news: there’s a new silhouette taking over, and it’s giving Us room to breathe. The latest must-have tops are a little looser, a little slouchier and a whole lot more comfortable — basically, the fashion girl’s answer to looking cute without feeling […]

Few shoe trends are as polarizing as ballet sneakers. Blending the sporty, supportive feel of tennis shoes with the delicate, fashion-forward look of ballet flats, people aren’t sure what to make of this unexpected mix. But there’s one group that just can’t get enough of the divisive footwear: celebrities.
A-listers — including Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid and Camila Cabello — are all in on ballet sneakers, pairing the cool-girl shoe with everything from leggings and leather jackets to ruffle blouses and denim. The shoes are effortlessly chic, whether complete with stretchy straps, cherry-red laces or satin ribbons. Plus, ballet sneakers have no age limit — even Jean Smart and Nicole Kidman have given them their stamp of approval, making Us want a pair ASAP.
If you’re just as eager as we are, keep reading to snap up a few celebrity-inspired pairs worthy of your closet space.
Celebrity-Approved Ballet Sneakers
1. Jennifer Lawrence-Inspired: Slip on these retro sneakerinas to make like Lawrence. They’re practical and versatile, complete with a top strap, grippy sole and onyx hue.
2. Up-and-Coming: Hollywood loves Tory Burch — and we wouldn’t be surprised to see the open-top Hank Sneaker on a few A-listers. The vibrant canary yellow and stretchy back take it to the next level.
3. Exact Find: We’re not surprised Bella Hadid slipped on the Vivaia Cristina Sneakerinas. The ivory satin, bow laces and foldable design make it a must-have.
4. Meant for the Spotlight: Madden Girl just gets it right, delivering a slip-on, pink style complete with a delicate top strap. It’s so good, you might as well add the navy colorway to your cart, too.
If you’re seeing Nicole Kidman‘s woven shoe style all over your feed, same. Whether you call it a sneakerina, ballet sneaker, ‘jazz shoe’ or anything in between, there’s no denying it appears expensive. We found Kidman’s luxe look hiding on Amazon! For the 2026 Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, Kidman paired a cream-colored power suit with ballet […]
5. Fashion Favorite: Dua Lipa has a thing for Puma — so, of course, she slipped on the brand’s Speedcat OG. The slim, metallic silhouette includes a white swish along the body and four angled straps.
6. Go-To Brand: Jw Pei has a reputation for making luxe bags for less. However, it also nails the ballet sneaker trend, delivering a bold iteration that includes a chunky outsole, suede upper and tubular laces.
7. Jean Smart-Loved: What if we told you we found a spot-on lookalike for Smart’s retro, Mary Jane sneakers? Well, we did — and for $34, the liquid silver silhouette is too good to pass up.
8. Red Carpet-Worthy: Dolce Vita continues to impress Us, delivering cloud-like comfort without sacrificing style. The Nanet sneaker proves our point, with a color-block design and foil-like details.
9. Instant Head-Turner: Camila Cabello’s lace-up Taekwondo Adidas sneakers take the cake, combining wine-red shoestrings with a bold leopard print.
10. An Upgraded Take: If you liked Lipa’s Speedcats but wish they were a touch more playful, then consider the Etoile version. Available in a dreamy mint green, the sneaker includes a whimsical ribbon tie and side cutout.
11. Straight From Nicole’s Closet: Nicole Kidman combined two trends in one, wearing mesh sneakerinas. It’s an edgier take on the classic style — and you can snag her exact square-toe knit shoes on Amazon.
12. Early-2000s Core: Lean into the Y2K aesthetic with the Coolway Bella Ballet Sneakers, including a bubblegum-pink hue and breathable upper. They’re so nostalgic, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Olivia Rodrigo wearing the silhouette.

Hayden Panettiere‘s former fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, is speaking out for the first time about her shocking death.
“Our family is going through a time of profound shock and grief,” Klitschko, 50, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, August 18, alongside a throwback photo of him, Panettiere and their daughter, Kaya. “The announcement of Hayden’s tragic death saddens me deeply. She left this world far too soon. Hayden was, although no longer my partner, an important part of my life and the mother of our daughter, Kaya.”
“She built an incredible career through immense talent, while also facing the darker sides of a very demanding industry. Nothing will erase the times we shared or the place she had in our lives,” the former professional boxer continued.
“To our daughter Kaya, I will always speak of her mother with respect and make sure she remembers the person she was,” he added.
While Hayden Panettiere and Wladimir Klitschko became amicable coparents before her death, the pair have gone through their ups and downs together. After connecting with the former professional boxer in 2009, Panettiere started dating him on and off through 2011. The pair eventually reconciled and were spotted packing on the PDA in March 2013. Later that […]
Klitschko wrote, “I extend my deepest condolences to Hayden’s parents, her friends, and her fans, who are also grieving today. Young and talented people like Hayden should not leave this world so soon.”
“I ask everyone to please respect our family’s feelings and privacy during this incredibly difficult time. For now, this is all I wish to say,” he went on. “Thank you to everyone who is supporting my family and expressing their sincere condolences.”
“Rest easy, Hayden. May you find eternal peace,” the star’s ex-fiancé concluded his tribute.
Panettiere and Klitschko started dating after her 2009 split from Heroes costar Milo Ventimiglia. The couple met while attending a book launch party. They dated on and off before getting engaged in 2013. The following year, they welcomed daughter Kaya. The pair called off their engagement and split in 2018.
After their breakup, the exes maintained a close friendship as they coparented Kaya. Panettiere relinquished full custody of Kaya to Klitschko amid her struggles with postpartum depression and remained in Los Angeles while Klitschko resided with their daughter in his native Ukraine.
“Wlad is an incredible father, and I know he was doing what he felt was best for our daughter. Living on separate continents made our arrangement even more challenging,” Panettiere exclusively told Us in May 2026. “Despite how I felt, it was important to always put her first.”
Panettiere started dating Brian Hickerson in 2018 after her split from Klitschko. The pair faced ups and downs, with Hickerson getting arrested for domestic violence in 2018 after an alleged argument between him and the actress. (Hickerson was charged with felony domestic violence, which resulted in a prosecutor-requested protective order. The charges were dropped the following year.)
Hayden Panettiere’s death came as a shock to many of her fans — but her friends were “worried” about the actress after she reconnected with her abusive ex Brian Hickerson. “Hayden seemed to be doing well [recently], but there was still concern among her friends and inner circle,” a source who recently spoke with Panettiere exclusively […]
Hickerson was arrested again in 2020 after allegedly punching Panettiere in the face. He pleaded no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or girlfriend, and his remaining six counts of domestic violence and assault were dismissed. Hickerson served 33 days in prison and was also placed on four years of probation and required to pay a $500 fine.
“Getting an abusive person out of your life is like trying to rip a weed out that is so entangled into your life,” Panettiere told Us about the challenging time in the May interview. “Every time you pull it out, another weed pops back up and you’re like, ‘I thought I killed this.’ They always manage to find a way to slither back into your life, even if you’re an incredibly strong-willed person.”
Three months after her sit-down with Us, news broke of Panettiere’s death on Sunday, August 16.
Hayden Panettiere faced professional and personal challenges before her death. The actress started modeling at 5 months old and appeared in her first commercial when she was 11 months old. Her big break came in 1994 when she began playing Sarah Roberts on One Life to Live at age 5. She continued to impress onscreen with roles […]
“It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her — and to the millions who watched her onscreen,” read a statement from her father, Skip Panettiere. “We ask for privacy as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss.”
South Carolina police confirmed an investigation is underway, noting, “The case is under investigation by the Greenville Police Department in conjunction with the Greenville County Coroner’s Office. The preliminary investigation has not indicated any signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances. An acquaintance of Ms. Panettiere placed the 911 call.”
If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.
There are dozens of shows that have a case for being the greatest series of all time, but only a select few would be near the top of everyone’s list. One show that has a strong case for being the greatest drama series ever made is Breaking Bad, which was written and created for TV by Vince Gilligan. Gilligan also returned to the world of TV last year with his new Apple TV series, Pluribus, which even earned enough viewers to be crowned the most-watched Apple TV sci-fi series in platform history. Breaking Bad aired its first season nearly 20 years ago, all the way back in 2008, and five seasons of the show were released in only six years — a release timeline almost unheard of now in the modern streaming era, when shows often take years-long breaks between seasons.
Breaking Bad was such a success that fans demanded a spin-off show based on one of the franchise’s most popular characters, Saul Goodman (played by Bob Odenkirk). There was also the Netflix original movie, El Camino (starring Aaron Paul), but it isn’t remembered in the same light as the original series, mostly due to the glaring absence of Walter White. Fans who were missing Bryan Cranston’s legendary drug dealer are in for a treat, as a new round of Funko Pops were just announced this week, which include new figures for Walter White, based on his appearance on various stages of the show. New figures for Jesse Pinkman and Gus Fring (played by Giancarlo Esposito) were also announced, and all figures are now available to order from the Funko Pop website.
How Many Emmys Did ‘Breaking Bad’ Win?
Breaking Bad collected a stunning 16 Emmys during its five-season run, including multiple to both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul for their respective performances as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Anna Gunn also won several awards for her supporting performance as Skyler White, and the show picked up wins for Best Drama Series and other technical categories while it was on the air. Other popular cast members to recur during five seasons on Breaking Bad are Dean Norris as Hank Schrader, Betsy Brandt as Marie Schrader, RJ Mitte as Walter White Jr, Steven Michael Quezada as Steven Gomez, Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, and more.
