Bringing Up Bates alum Katie Bates is clearing up rumors that she and husband Travis Clark are expanding their family after reconciling following his affair scandal.

During a Saturday, September 5, Instagram Story Q&A session, Bates, 25, acknowledged that she received “lots” of questions about whether she is pregnant.

“No, I’m not pregnant,” Bates clarified. “[I’m] just soaking in the two sweet babies we have.”

Katie, one of Gil and Kelly Jo Bates’ 19 children, has been married to Clark, 25, since 2021. The couple are parents to daughter Hailey, 3, and son Harvey, 23 months.

Bringing Up Bates alum Travis Clark publicly celebrated his wife, Katie Bates, less than three months before admitting he was unfaithful in their marriage. “Happy 25th to the easiest person in the world to celebrate,” Clark, 24, wrote via Instagram in October 2025. “You love so deeply, give so much of yourself to everything you […]

Katie announced in January that she suffered a pregnancy loss with what would have been the pair’s third child. The next day, Clark publicly apologized for his infidelity.

“This is hard to write, but I owe the truth and I owe an apology. I was unfaithful to my wife,” Clark wrote via his Instagram Stories at the time. “I had an affair and repeatedly broke her trust. There is no excuse for what I did. This was my failure and my responsibility alone. I know that words don’t begin to express the damage I caused or the depth of the hurt I’ve brought into her life, but I am truly sorry.”

Katie and Clark have since been working through the nursing student’s cheating scandal and attending couple’s therapy.

“I’ve been sitting in what I did for a couple months now, and I feel so much inside but it’s hard to find the right words,” Clark wrote via Instagram in March, addressing the scandal. “At the end of last year, I made decisions I deeply regret. I’m disappointed, ashamed, and honestly, disgusted with myself.”

He continued at the time, “The last couple months have been humbling. A lot of hard work, therapy, time with God. I know I’m not owed anything, but I am desperately fighting for my wife and my family every single day.”

Amid their reconciliation, Katie and Clark relocated their family of four to Texas while reprioritizing their relationship and shared faith.

“On June 28th, 2026, I finally stopped running. I gave my life to Jesus and began a new life in Christ. Today I was baptized,” Clark wrote via Instagram last month. “To be honest, most of my life I’ve been running and chasing and I didn’t even realize it. I had an amazing life, a beautiful wife and family I loved, opportunities, money, a career, and somehow I was still deeply empty after reaching so many of the things I thought would fulfill me. In December of last year, I woke up frustrated, confused, exhausted, and started questioning almost everything I had ever believed.”

Katie replied, “Love you.”

I’m all for showing some skin, but sometimes I simply feel better with my upper arms covered. Instead of hiding underneath layers this autumn, I’m opting for flattering fall dresses with strategically roomy sleeves.

I landed on the following 13 fall dresses for hiding underarm ‘bat wings,’ including sweater dresses, burgundy knits and little black dresses. Even better, the lineup starts at $14, so go ahead and snag a style (or two, or three) for the season ahead!

13 Slimming Fall Dresses That Hide Underarm ‘Bat Wings’

1. Our Favorite: I’m a sucker for a dress with pockets, and this ribbed shift dress is a total winner. Plus, it easily pairs with sneakers for errands, lunch and everything in between.

2. Beautiful Burgundy: The long sleeves on this loose knit midi dress disguise underarm bat wings, while the flowy A-line skirt flatters the hips.

3. Fall Florals: Who says florals are only for spring and summer? I’m keeping them in rotation with this smocked floral dress, which has billowy long sleeves for plenty of coverage and a mini length that looks especially cute with white sneakers.

4. Sweater Weather: Consider this turtleneck sweater dress your fall outfit formula. The roomy long sleeves completely cover the upper arms, while the side slit keeps the midi silhouette from feeling overwhelming.

5. Cute and Casual: A pair of slim cream leather sneakers would make this floral mini dress an easy weekend outfit. The three-quarter sleeves offer coverage without feeling as heavy as a full-length layer.

6. Burgundy Beauty: Few colors get me more excited for fall than burgundy, so this long-sleeve sweater dress immediately caught my eye. I like how the streamlined silhouette balances out the completely covered arms.

7. Olive Obsession: I’d personally go straight for olive in this smocked babydoll dress, but there are plenty of other shades and prints if green isn’t your thing. The fitted bodice and billowy sleeves also give it that flattering mix of shape and coverage I’m after.

8. Desk to Dinner: This button-front sweater dress is exactly the kind of piece I’d wear with sneakers for the morning commute, then change into heels at my desk. Come dinner, the fitted silhouette already feels polished enough for evening plans.

9. Fall Florals: Instead of another printed floral, I’m drawn to the subtle floral texture on this chocolate-brown dress. The semi-sheer sleeves keep the upper arms covered without taking away from its light, feminine feel.

10. Belt It: I love that this camel sweater dress can be worn loose or cinched with a belt when I want more definition. I’d add suede sneakers for a casual day, then belt it and switch to boots when temperatures really drop.

11. Pretty in Pleats: I’m drawn to the movement of this textured fall dress, from its billowy sleeves to its tiered skirt. The rich burgundy shade makes the whole floaty silhouette feel especially right for fall.

12. Throw-On Hero: When I don’t know what to wear, a black waffle-knit dress like this is my favorite solution. I’d pair it with low-profile leather sneakers for running errands, grabbing coffee or meeting friends for lunch.

13. Easy Elegance: I love how this long-sleeve maxi dress manages to look polished without feeling fussy. The smocked empire waist, billowy sleeves and rich brown shade do most of the styling for me.

Elizabeth Smart is continuing her newfound bodybuilding pursuits with great strength — literally.

“Another show for the books! Had such a blast,” Smart, 38, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, September 5, sharing footage from the North American Championships competition this week. “I’ve always said ‘just stepping on stage is a win for me!’ And I completely stand by that.”

Smart sported a blue micro bikini as she competed in the Masters 35+ and Open Class D categories based on age and height, respectively.

“I placed at the bottom of both classes. Regardless of where I placed, I loved the whole experience, had an amazing coach (@slcrobynmaher), got to step onstage with my best friend (@mpholsombake), and had the best support squad in the audience I could ask for,” she noted. “I brought a better physique and stage presence than at my previous shows, and I’m so proud of myself for the hard work, discipline and bravery it takes me to compete. So here’s to pursuing goals and not giving up!”

Elizabeth Smart’s fitness coach, Robyn Maher, is sharing the secrets behind her bodybuilding competition success. “She followed a plan, a healthy meal plan, all this time,” Maher shared in an interview with Extra published on Wednesday, April 22. “And then weight training most days of the week.

Sharing more images from the competition to her Instagram Stories, Smart revealed her husband, Matthew Gilmour, dutifully cheered her own despite the loss. (Smart and Gilmour, who have been married since 2012, share three children.)

“So grateful for all of Matthew’s support,” she gushed.

Smart debuted her passion for bodybuilding in April, noting via Instagram that she wanted to demonstrate that survivors are more than just the trauma they endured. (The advocate was kidnapped in 2002 when she was 14 years old. She claimed she was physically, sexually and psychologically abused during her nine months of captivity.)

“I think it’s easy to be labeled as one thing, and honestly, that’s not me nor do I think it’s any of us. We are more than just one topic, one idea, one label,” Smart said. “I am interested in many things, and as I get older I realize more and more how important it is to make the most of today, we don’t know what tomorrow brings. I don’t want to reach the end of my life and look back and feel regret for only living a half-life, not going after all the things I want to do and try.”

At the time, Smart noted that entering the bodybuilding world “was a big change.”

“It was hard, it pushed me, challenged me not to give up. I am so proud of myself for doing this. I am so proud of my body, and I want to celebrate it,” she stated. “My body has carried me through every worst day, every hellish grueling experience, it’s created and nurtured three beautiful children, my body has risen to every single challenge life has presented it with, and carried me through so I refuse to be ashamed of it. I refuse to feel embarrassed about trying something new and am embracing my chance at life to the absolute fullest I can.”

Lindsay Clancy will remain in custody at a mental health facility after a Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial in the mother’s high-profile triple-murder case.

“I’m going to declare a mistrial at this point,” Judge William Sullivan announced in court on Friday, September 4, before granting Clancy’s defense team one hour to file an emergency appeal. The appeal was ultimately denied and the deadlocked 11-1 jury was dismissed.

Clancy was on trial for the murder of her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — before attempting to die by suicide. The mother has admitted to strangling her children to death, but argues she should not be held responsible due to her well-documented mental health issues, including postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder.

The prosecution representing the Commonwealth of Massachusetts claims that despite her mental health issues, Clancy was aware of her actions and acted in a premeditated manner when she killed her children.

Where Will Lindsay Clancy Stay After the Mistrial

Clancy will remain at the Tewksbury State Hospital located in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, where she has remained since her 2023 arrest.

What Is Tewksbury State Hospital?

Tewksbury State Hospital is a comprehensive mental health care facility located on a 700 acre parcel of land capable of housing 370 patients at one time. The main hospital is 700,000 square feet, per the website, and features 12 patient care units. There are 41 buildings in total, equalling 1.1 million square feet of facility space.

In 2017, the facility housed, on average, 361 patients every day.

The facility is also a Joint Commission accredited hospital, per the facility’s website, meaning it adheres to a globally established gold standard for healthcare quality and patient safety, including rigorous international benchmarks focused on patient rights, access to care, facility safety, medication management and more.

The facility focuses on providing health care for those struggling with both physical and mental ailments.

What Type of Care does Tewksbury State Hospital Provide?

According to the facility’s website, the Tewksbury State Hospital provided “a broad range of services” to patients, including “a physician on site at all times, around-the-clock nursing care, rehabilitation services including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, psychology services, social services, nutritional services and an on-site dialysis clinic.”

The facility also boasts a slew of speciality services for patients who need additional care, including a neurologic rehabilitation unit, a Huntington’s Disease program, substance abuse disorder and High Risk Services, staff with Department of Corrections backgrounds and a “multidisciplinary staff provides psychiatric, psychological, and neurobehavioral care to patients with both significant mental health issues and complex medical needs.”

Related: Prosecutor Speaks After Judge Declares Mistrial in Lindsay Clancy Case

After a Massachusetts judge declared a mistrial in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial due to a deadlocked jury, it’s not currently clear whether she’ll be retried for the killings of her three children. Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said there hasn’t been a decision on a retrial while addressing reporters following the mistrial declaration […]

The hospital’s website also dedicates a section to detail how it provides care to what it describes as its “challenging patients.”

“Tewksbury Hospital provides services to individuals who are not able to receive services in other settings,” the website reads. “The average patient admitted has been denied placement by 3 or more health care facilities because of behavioral issues and/or due to a high risk history which necessitates increased resources to provide a safe environment.”

In order to provide a high standard of care, the facility also works with five separate Massachusetts state agencies: Department of Health, Department of Mental Health Regional Offices, MassHealth Department of Medical Assistance, Department of Public Safety and the Mass Emergency Management Agency (MEMA).

Does Tewksbury State Hospital Allow Visitors?

Yes, the facility does host visitation hours for its patients, though circumstances and hours can vary depending on a patient’s needs.

Suggested hours for family or friends to visit patients obtaining physical health care are Sunday through Saturday, 10 am to 8 pm. For patients in need of mental health care, suggested visitation hours are Monday through Friday, 1 pm to 4 pm and 6pm to 8pm.

When speaking to the press following the mistrial, Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington reiterated that his client has been visited by a number of nurses and a chaplain since her arrest.

“She had people who would meet her, nurses who would know her and visit with her,” Reddington said at the time. “A chaplain who never knew her, who went for three years and continues to visit with her because of the type of person she is.”

After HBO recently released the official Harry Potter trailer, excitement for the show’s debut remains high despite mixed reviews. The first season, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, will include eight episodes and premiere on December 25, 2026. Featuring a talented cast: Dominic McLaughlin stars as the lead, with Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger, along with a charming ensemble, some of whose previous work is worth revisiting on free streaming platforms.

Emmy-winning John Lithgow, known for his acclaimed performances on stage and screen, was confirmed in February 2025 to join the main cast of Harry Potter as Albus Dumbledore. Prior to this role, Lithgow appeared in several projects, many of which achieved success, though not all. One such project will soon become available to stream for free this month, where it hopes to redeem itself after disappointing critics and audiences.

Released in 2019, Pet Sematary is the second film adaptation of Stephen King‘s 1983 novel and the third overall in the series. Starting September 25, 2026,the supernatural horror film will be available on Kanopy, a free, ad-free streaming platform, TV Insider reports. It will be joining several other titles debuting on the same day, including HBO’s drama film The Great Lillian Hall, the British classic Where Angels Fear to Tread, the 2025 war thriller Battle of Oslo, Doctor Who: Series 4, the miniseries Kafka, the documentary I Am Martin Parr, and the 2024 feature-length documentary The Bones. Kanopy is accessible only through participating libraries and institutions.

‘Pet Sematary’ Could Have Been Better

Directed by Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, with a screenplay by Jeff Buhler, many believe Pet Sematary is worse than King’s novel mainly because it replaces slow psychological tension with typical jump-scares and changes important plot details. Critics’ reviews on Rotten Tomatoes also reflect this sentiment, noting that while the adaptation “takes its source material in a few different directions,” it feels more like “an exhuming almost as often as it does a revival.” The 58% RT series starring Jason Clarke, Amy Seimetz, and Lithgow. After moving from Boston to rural Maine with their two children, the Creed family finds a mysterious graveyard in the woods behind their new house that can resurrect the dead.

Pet Sematary streams for free on Kanopy in a few weeks. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming coverage.

After all the subpar Terminator sequels to hit theaters in the past few decades, it’s easy to forget that there are other franchise installments out there that actually work. While the movies are often hit-or-miss, television has been one medium that has elevated the James Cameron-created concept to something more philosophically engaging than any of the action-focused sequels. One such series, in particular, has recently begun to chart on the Apple TV Store, proving that audiences are hungry to see the war against Skynet continue. If you guessed Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, you’re right on the money.

‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Went Beyond the Typical ‘Terminator’ Plot

The two-season Terminator continuation hit Fox at a weird time. The first season aired in the midst of the Writers’ Strike of 2007-’08, only a few years after the previous film installment, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, tried and failed to recapture the magic of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Even stranger, another sequel, Terminator Salvation, was in the works at the same time The Sarah Connor Chronicles hit the network, so the program had a lot stacked against it from the get-go. But truth be told, the series is the best (and certainly the most creatively engaging) entry in the larger franchise after James Cameron’s initial two films. Rather than use its connections to T2 as a crutch, trying to endlessly recreate the 1991 classic as was the case with most sequels, The Sarah Connor Chronicles uses it as a stepping stone to build something new, something that none of the films were able to accomplish — and all without overly subverting what made The Terminator and that first sequel great in the first place.

The premise is quite simple: In the years after T2, Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) and her son John (Thomas Dekker) are on the run after their actions at Cyberdyne, at least until a new Terminator sent from the future, designated “Cameron” (Summer Glau), is sent back to the ’90s to protect them. Given John’s desire not to have to live in a post-apocalyptic future, Sarah convinces Cameron to take them forward in time to 2007 for another shot at stopping Judgment Day (now set for 2011) and ensuring that Skynet is never created in the first place. Instead of just repeating the same old antics, their world is made further complicated by FBI Agent James Ellison (Richard T. Jones) and Kyle Reese’s (Jonathan Jackson) previously unknown brother Derek (Brian Austin Green), who each threaten the Connors’ well-being by bringing new T-888s to their doorstep. With an expanded cast and a more complex mythology, The Sarah Connor Chronicles balances fan expectations with new creative avenues crafted just for the series.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles took great care to explore both Sarah’s psychological instability and John’s struggles in accepting his destiny. Headey played Sarah a bit differently from Linda Hamilton, trying to merge the two incarnations of the character from the first two films into a well-rounded, psychologically complex individual. She certainly succeeded, presenting a case study in what bleak news of the future can do to a mother who truly wants what’s best for her son. Likewise, the show is perhaps the greatest adaptation of John Connor, acting as a bridge between the kid we met in T2 and the soldier we know he may one day be. Issues of fate and whether one can change their intended path were woven intimately throughout while simultaneously offering answers to long-wondered questions about how the Terminator timelines work.

‘The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Will Likely Never Return, but the Series Deserves High Praise

Unfortunately, The Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled before it had the chance to appropriately conclude its divergence in the larger Terminator timeline. The impromptu series finale, “Born to Run,” ends on a pretty big cliffhanger, though one could arguably work it out in their mind as to how it might work as a circular conclusion meant to bookend the tension between John’s fate and Sarah’s hopes. But no matter how you view it, the journey is worth undertaking. Too many Terminator sequels have either decided that John Connor is no longer relevant to the Future War against Skynet or that Sarah Connor’s sacrifices in preventing Judgment Day meant nothing, but The Sarah Connor Chronicles doesn’t fall into either of these traps. Instead, the Fox drama reminds us of the importance of these characters while still making them feel deeply human and relatable, no matter the apocalyptic stakes at hand.

When it comes to Terminator media, fans have been burned one too many times. It’s sadly just par for the course these days. While we eagerly await James Cameron’s anticipated return to the franchise, there’s truly no better time to revisit Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Even in light of the controversial ending, it’s one of the few post-T2 installments actually worth the effort.

Sometimes, you don’t plan to watch a full 2–3 hour movie. I know I don’t. I just press play, give it a few minutes, and if it doesn’t pull me in, I’m out. Most films lose me somewhere in the middle anyway, even if they start strong.

But action movies are a bit different when they’re done right. When the story is tight and the action actually makes sense, you don’t feel the time passing. One scene leads into the next, and you’re not waiting for things to get better because they’re already gripping. That balance is hard to get right, which is why so many films fall apart halfway through. The ones on this list don’t have that problem. They stay consistent, keep the tension alive, and actually feel riveting from start to finish.

In Speed, during a routine assignment, officer Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) becomes involved in a situation that involves a bomber who targets public transportation. After stopping an earlier threat, Jack learns that a new device has been placed on a city bus with a condition that it will detonate if the vehicle slows below a specific speed. He rushes to locate the bus and boards it while it is already in motion. Inside the bus, he meets Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock), a passenger who is forced to take control of the vehicle after the driver is injured.

As the story continues, Jack works with Annie to keep the bus moving while managing the passengers and steering through traffic. The attacker places certain conditions that require constant attention, since any mistake could trigger the device. While Jack is trying to talk to the authorities, as well as find a solution to eliminate the threat, the moving bus becomes the main focus.

While McClane slips away from the main floor to avoid being caught, he quietly watches what’s happening inside the building while staying hidden.

Following the takeover, McClane moves through different levels of the building while using limited resources to interfere with the group’s plan. He establishes contact with outside authorities and attempts to pass information about the situation. Each action he takes creates a response from the attackers that forces him to adjust his approach while working to reduce their control over the hostages and prevent their plan from being completed.

But early in the mission, they are discovered, and what began as a planned operation quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival inside the confined space.

With the growing situation, the members of the team become separated, and their communication breaks down. Still, Rama keeps pushing forward through the building, facing armed opponents stationed on every floor. The environment limits escape routes, and eventually, they are forced into confrontation. Each fight shifts Rama’s position in the building, as he continues toward his goal while adapting to the shifting conditions.

Initially, John does not understand the situation, but the presence of both machines forces him to recognize the threat surrounding him.

After the chase, the T-800 focuses on protecting John and explains the future events tied to his survival. Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), John’s mother, joins them as they try to stop the rise of technology that could cause future destruction. Together, they move from place to place while avoiding the T-1000, whose ability to adapt makes every encounter dangerous.
