Roommates, things are getting spicy in the Desmond Scott universe as Marissa Springer is spilling details about their previous involvement. From the high-end shopping spree to allegedly seeing Dana Tran blow up his phone, Springer put it ALL out there. For context, Marissa was first linked to the estranged husband of mega-influencer Kristy Scott in January after a video showed them kissing in a bar.

 Marissa Springer Speaks

In a Wednesday interview with TMZ’s Charlie Neff, Marissa revealed that the day after their steamy make-out session, Desmond Scott allegedly handed her his credit card with a spending limit of $25,000. She broke down exactly what she bought—including YSL and Gucci bags—though she spent only around $10K of her full limit. While it all felt thrilling in the moment, hindsight has her wondering if the spree was more hush money than generosity. After all, Desmond didn’t even attend the shopping spree in person, and it all happened amid his very public split from Kristy Scott.

Furthermore, Marissa revealed that she and Desmond Scott last spoke about a month ago, agreeing to keep things “cordial.” She added there were never any plans to turn their fling into a relationship, especially with everything he’s going through right now. When asked about Desmond now allegedly dating Dana Tran, Marissa admitted she was “surprised.” She alleges she saw Dana’s name pop up on his phone during their time together, but he “never answered the calls” while they were together.

When pressed if she had anything to say to him, she concluded with a pointed warning: “Diddy’s out soon, so be careful.” At one point, she credited him for being an “amazing cook” but didn’t share when she had his food.

Folks Lit The Comments Up

Fans did not waste a second before storming TMZ’s Instagram comments, lighting it UP with reactions. Some were shading Desmond Scott for staying quiet, while others wondered if Marissa was just trying to ride the fame wave. Still, plenty of followers weren’t sweating it, pointing out that Desmond has the money and, honestly, he was already splitting from his wife—so what’s the tea really?

One Instagram user @sindylove89_ added, “Desmond not about to entertain this‼️”

This Instagram user @kaymccabetv said, “*sigh* Wish he would’ve met me…“

And, Instagram user @__sammibebe_ added, “‘Diddys out soon so be careful’ SAYS IT ALL . keep it safe Playaaa playaaa 😂😅”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @val_calv26 commented, “‘Out of character for him’ yeah cause she really ‘knows him’ 😂”

While Instagram user @thegrlboss_ shared, “This girl trying to ride that wave lmao“

Lastly, Instagram user @kia_gina wrote, “He got it, I see no issue lol“

Marissa’s Birthday Gifts Have Fans Asking Questions

Roommates, let’s talk about those gifts, because Marissa Springer just turned 24 and the haul she flexed on Instagram has people asking questions. Back in January, Marissa dropped a reel captioned, “What I got for my 24th birthday,” showing off a straight-up luxury lineup: iced-out earrings and necklace, a MacBook Air, a gold YSL bag, a mini Gucci bag, a YSL vanity, perfumes, makeup sets, two bags of Alo gear… and honestly, it looked like a whole department store showed up in her room.

Of course, fans immediately started wondering: were all these gifts birthday presents… or part of that alleged “shopping spree” Desmond reportedly handed her his credit card for? Let’s not forget, this all went down just weeks after Kristy Scott filed for divorce following an 11-year marriage, citing “adultery.”

Dakota Mortensen is speaking out following reports of an alleged domestic dispute with the mother of his children, Taylor Frankie Paul. Mortensen and Paul have been in the headlines all week after sources claimed Paul’s “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” co-stars have refused to film with her.

Dakota Mortensen Speaks Out After Alleged Dispute With Taylor Frankie Paul Reaches New Heights

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, a representative for Mortensen said that the TV personality and the father of one has been trying to keep a low profile since the news of Paul’s alleged domestic outburst made headlines.

“His number one priority here is protecting [their 2-year-old son], Ever,” the rep said. “He knew there was a possibility it could come out, but he was not going to be the one to proactively do that because he has always wanted a decent relationship with Taylor. It’s been really hard to achieve that, but he wants to co-parent well.”

Mortensen’s rep went on to say that the 33-year-old hoped the situation would go away, adding that he’s never actually told his side. “He kind of just lets it all happen to him, and I think he realizes with the severity of everything now that he just can’t do that,” they shared.

Taylor Frankie Paul Allegedly Choked Mortensen After Learning Of A Previous Relationship

According to a previous report from The Blast, a source claimed that Paul allegedly choked Mortensen after getting into a heated argument over Mortensen’s alleged sexual encounters with a “SLOMW” cast member.

The source went on to claim that Paul ripped Mortensen’s necklace from his body, grabbed his neck, and displayed even more violent behavior in front of their son, Ever, prompting Mortensen to reportedly call Utah police officers for help.

The pair have been involved in a domestic dispute before, according to a CBS News report. In 2024, Paul was charged with two felony counts after authorities claimed she hit, choked, and threw metal chairs at Mortensen during an altercation.

Taylor Frankie Paul Implied She Was Done WIth Mortensen Before The ‘Bachelorette’ Premiere

In another interview with Entertainment Weekly, Paul opened up about her relationship with Mortensen and implied she was officially cutting ties with him.

“I actually took action about a few weeks ago. I’m just doing third-party everything, pick-up, drop-offs, communication, so no contact right now for me,” she said. “I think that’s the best case, honestly, because clearly it’s just not to a point of us getting along, so I wanted to take the best action I could. I didn’t want to bring anything to the public eye, making it a bigger deal for the sake of my son, and just everything about to come out. But that wasn’t the plan for [Mortensen].”

Paul Speaks Out Following Reports, Hints She’s Saddened By The Reports

Paul also addressed the current controversy in a statement, according to The Blast, saying her “heart” was broken due to the “timing” of the news.

For those unaware, Paul will star in the next season of “The Bachelorette,” which will air on Sunday on ABC.

Paul went on to say that “every premiere” she’s experienced has been ruined by scandal. “I’ve never enjoyed fully, so this is another one… It’s extremely hard, and it took everything to get me here today,” she said.

‘Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives’ Co-Stars Aren’t Filming With Paul Right Now

Season 4 of “Secret Lives” recently aired on Hulu, and per reports, the network has halted production on season 5 due to the alleged dispute.

“They are not filming,” a source close to the show shared. “Taylor [Frankie Paul] has some pretty serious stuff happening regarding her past, and they will see what happens. Until that resolves, they are off.”

A source recently told TMZ, however, that the women of “SLOMW” are hoping to move forward, but they believe Paul needs to seek help before returning to film with the others.

In addition to the cast, sponsors affiliated with “Secret Lives” and “The Bachelor” have also pulled out after learning of the reported altercation between Paul and Mortensen.

“Recent developments and allegations surrounding the lead cast member led us to reassess this collaboration as it no longer aligns with our brand values,” they stated.

At long last, Marvel fans everywhere have finally gotten their first glimpse at the highly anticipated summer blockbuster, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The trailer for Marvel Studios and Tom Holland‘s fourth adventure with the iconic hero was released on Wednesday morning, kicking off the road to release at the end of July. While the footage was obviously centered around Holland’s Peter Parker and his journey as Spider-Man, the trailer also features quite a lot of connective tissue to one of Marvel’s most popular TV shows. The fingerprints of Daredevil: Born Again are seemingly all over Spider-Man: Brand New Day, crossing over in a much bigger way than we initially expected.

We’ve only seen one season of Daredevil: Born Again, but the second installment is coming to Disney+ later this month, and it will clearly have a big impact on the events of Brand New Day. In fact, it seems Spider-Man and Daredevil are going to be co-existing in New York in a much bigger way than they ever have on-screen. That, of course, is a far cry from the previous era of Marvel Cinematic Universe shows on Disney+, which never got the recognition from the movie side of things that many felt they deserved. This appears to be both sides of the Marvel coin actually working in harmony.

Jon Bernthal’s Punisher Is Just the Beginning

The news of Jon Bernthal‘s inclusion in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is far from breaking news at this point. Fans have known for quite a while that the popular Daredevil TV character is going to make the big screen jump this summer, so seeing him interact with Holland’s Spidey in the trailer should come as no surprise. However, Bernthal’s appearance was far from the only tie to the world of Daredevil.

There’s a scene in the trailer where a newscast shows Spider-Man being given a key to New York City, and it appears as though the person handing him that key is none other than Sheila Rivera. If you recall, Rivera is a key advisor to Mayor Wilson Fisk in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1. Why she’s giving Spider-Man a key to the city instead of Fisk — and why Fisk is celebrating a “masked vigilante” like Spider-Man at all — is a question we probably won’t be able to answer until after the release of Born Again Season 2.

Something similar can be said for Frank Castle, who is roaming the streets of New York in this trailer. He is taken by Fisk’s forces in the Born Again Season 1 finale, though the post-credits scene alludes to him escaping. How exactly that happens, and what he does next, will remain a mystery for a little while longer.

Return of the Hand

Now, this is less about Daredevil: Born Again and much more about the shared Netflix universe that the original Daredevil series launched more than a decade ago. There are a lot of mysteries surrounding the potential antagonists of Brand New Day, but the trailer does reveal that the organization known as The Hand will be incorporated.

Spider-Man is seen in the trailer fighting off members of the Hand, which marks the group’s foray into the MCU, after having been a driving force in Daredevil and The Defenders. Who knows what kind of role the organization will actually have in the film, given how there is absolutely no context to the scene from the trailer, but the fact that they are around at all shows that Marvel isn’t afraid to try again with characters or properties that were used in the Netflix universe.

How Marvel Shows and Movies Should Exist

When Marvel Studios first started releasing TV shows, it felt as though the small-screen version of the ever-growing superhero franchise wasn’t really allowed to exist on the same level as the films. The events from the shows were noted by the stories of the movies, but they didn’t matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. For example, Wanda’s experience in WandaVision was talked about in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but the character growth she experienced on that show wasn’t at all reflected in the version of the Scarlet Witch that appeared in the film.

As the television side of Marvel Studios has evolved, and is focusing more on traditional TV formats with grounded characters, it appears the bridge over to the films is starting to work both ways. How things unfold in Daredevil: Born Again has a direct impact on Spider-Man’s New York City escapades in Brand New Day. How far that connection goes remains to be seen, but it’s awesome to see these two wings of Marvel seemingly working together in ways they haven’t been able to before.

For many, what makes a sport an extreme sport is the risks those partaking are willing to take to achieve their goals. With a growing focus on safety in all areas, the goalposts are constantly shifting on what is and isn’t considered part of this dangerous collection. Formula 1, for example, used to be considered an extreme sport because of the high number of driver deaths, and there is still a significant risk involved. However, improved safety measures and the sport’s move into mainstream media have diminished many of its extreme aspects.

What can never be made ultimately safe, and something that wouldn’t normally pique the interest of many, is free soloing. This is the act of climbing without safety equipment, going far beyond the walls one would find in a rock climbing gym. While many would never even attempt such a sport, the documentary Free Solo is the best example of exploring what kind of person takes up something so dangerous. Not only is there a thorough analysis of the climber, but the fantastic cinematography heightens the tension to the point you will want to look away, and yet never take your eyes off the screen.

What is ‘Free Solo’ About?

Free Solo, currently streaming on Netflix, follows Alex Honnold, one of the best free solo climbers in the world, as he attempts to be the first person to ever free solo El Capitan, a massive and dangerous rock face in Yosemite. Not only is the distance Alex must climb astonishing at 3000 feet, but El Capitan is also rated as one of the greatest challenges in all of free soloing, with no climber ever completing a climb at the 5.13a difficulty that this rock face holds. Yet, more fascinating than the climb itself is the man attempting to accomplish this feat: Alex.

Most would assume that, to even begin to consider a sport such as free soloing, one would have to be as emotionally steady as the mountains they climb, but Alex takes this to another level. Not only does he not seem to exhibit any fear, but he rarely displays emotions of any kind aside from blunt sarcasm. Free Solo isn’t just interested in Alex’s climbing, but how his approach to emotion affects his relationship with his partner, Sanni McCandless, who constantly pushes Alex to be more expressive. Perhaps the clearest example of Alex’s fascinating perspective is when he learns of the death of one of his fellow free soloists. It certainly makes him question his own risks and relationship with death, but whether it truly affects him is something all viewers will have a different opinion on due to his enigmatic nature.

‘Free Solo’s Cinematography Emphasizes the Risks Alex Takes With Every Step

Everyone has had the nightmare of falling from a great height, and whenever one climbs in real life, even with all the safety harnesses attached, it is the fear of falling that makes the legs shake. Free Solo manages to harness this fear throughout every second of Alex’s climb, whether he is scouting the route with ropes or truly undertaking the challenge free solo. Free Solo faces a great challenge in this area because, in theory, the viewer can assume that Alex is not going to die, as the tone of the documentary would feel incredibly somber if so, and the filmmakers even question the ethics of their filming if such a situation did occur.

Yet, the way Free Solo utilizes drone shots, such as an iconic pullback that starts close on Alex before reversing until he becomes a tiny speck on the side of El Capitan, emphasizes not only the scale of the challenge, but the distance Alex would fall if he puts one foot wrong. Free Solo also uses editing to great effect, slowing down the most tense moments of the climb to force the audience to sit in the terrifying scenario for as long as possible, until it feels like their heart is going to burst through their chest, with Alex’s calm demeanor somehow making it worse, rather than reassuring.

There isn’t long to watch Free Solo, since it will be leaving Netflix at the beginning of April, so it needs to be your next viewing experience as soon as possible. Even though your hands will shake during and afterward, and even if it’s the most frightening thing you’ll see a human being take on, it is a masterclass in documentary filmmaking. From understanding the premise, to the human behind it all, to the technical aspects that make the climb the challenge that it is, Free Solo is a documentary that will leave marks on your armrest from how hard you grip it.

Free Solo is available to stream on Netflix in the U.S.

I was having a really good day before I fired up 2009’s Morris County, a three-part horror anthology written and directed by Matthew Garrett about the darkness hiding just beneath the idyllic sheen of modern suburbia. I didn’t know what to expect going into this low-budget romp through the neighborhood, but I figured it would carry the same “everybody has skeletons in their closet” messaging that most films like this do. American Beauty, The Burbs, Happiness, and countless other films have played with this motif with wildly different results, so I went into Morris County with an open mind.

For a film that looks like it was shot for less than $500 (budget information is not publicly available), Morris County still manages to get under your skin and make you want to take a long shower when it’s over. I live in a pretty modern apartment, but still found that I couldn’t get the water hot enough to shock the final sequence out of my brain.

While I can’t say this is the most groundbreaking film of all time, it works with what it has and proves genuinely upsetting on more than one occasion.

Three Stories From The Same Neighborhood

Morris County has a structure that feels deliberate, though it may be coincidental. The first story focuses on a teenage girl named Ellie (Darcy Miller) who has clearly lost her way. She’s shut out her parents and taken to drinking and drugging. It’s implied that she regularly trades sexual favors with the liquor store employees so she can buy booze as a minor. Ellie meets her friends in the woods, and they party like teens do.

She’s not yet fully aware of how her behavior will catch up with her, but she soon finds out and has to make peace with herself when she realizes how far gone she actually is.

Chapter two moves away from teenage chaos and into adult misery. This section focuses on Noah (Albie Selznick), a Jewish man struggling to reconcile his latent homosexuality with his faith. Making matters worse is his wife’s affair, which she thinks she’s successfully concealing even though he’s fully aware of it. 

He takes solo trips to the adult video store and attempts to hook up with male suitors, which lands him in more trouble than he anticipated. Broken, miserable, and convinced he’s stepping further away from God’s light, Noah finds himself staring down his family, the bottom of a bottle, and the barrel of a gun. It plays out exactly how you’d expect.

Now that Morris County has progressed through middle age, the final story moves into the golden years through the eyes of Iris (Alice Cannon). Forced into early retirement because of her age, Iris suddenly feels lost without the routine she followed for her entire adult life.

On her first day of retirement, her husband Elmer (Erik Frandsen) dies while watching TV on the couch. In her profound state of grief, Iris decides to live with Elmer’s rotting corpse and go about her daily routine as if nothing has changed. The first few days are manageable, but as Elmer continues to decompose, it becomes painfully clear that the romance and sense of fulfillment Iris is chasing is just as dead as her husband.

A Horrifying Glimpse At Humanity

While its production values leave quite a bit to be desired, Morris County ultimately does everything it sets out to accomplish. It moves through three phases of life, each one more disturbing than the last, highlighting the uncomfortable truth that growing up, growing old, and dying are rarely graceful experiences.

Everybody is fighting a silent battle, and every so often those battles boil over in the ugliest ways imaginable. From an isolated and angsty teenager barreling through life on hard mode to an elderly woman who refuses to let go of her past and plan her next steps, the film has no trouble getting its point across.

Behind the picket fences and locked front doors, silent suffering hides in the most unassuming places. When people build walls around themselves and let their demons consume them from the inside out, you get exactly what Morris County is showing you.

As of this writing, Morris County is streaming for free on Tubi.

Margot Robbie has mastered airport style, and her latest travel look proves it. The actress was recently spotted passing through the airport in an effortlessly chic outfit that balanced comfort and polish, paring a crisp white tee with light-wash denim and an oversized wine-red tote.

The bag is crafted from soft PU leather that’s lightweight yet durable, giving it that elevated, minimalist feel without weighing you down.

In other words, it’s the kind of carryall that works just as well for commuting, weekend trips or everyday errands as it does for travel days.

Shoppers say the bag looks and feels far more expensive than its price tag suggests.

Karrueche Tran and Deion Sanders are still going strong! The longer they go, the more sis is leaning into her “rich auntie” meets “soft life love” energy, respectfully. And the fans are here for it, especially after seeing the couple recently describe what they love most about each other.

Deion Sanders Says Karrueche Is “Sweet As Sugar” 

Roomies, the subheading says it all! Deion Sanders thinks his lady, Karrueche Tran, is “sweet as sugar.” But the 58-year-old is specific with his description, calling Tran “a brown bag of sugar.” She chuckled at this comment, thanked him after he said it directly to her and then started gently rubbing her man’s back—an act of love the roommates definitely peeped. But, we’ll circle back to reactions!

The video clip of Karrueche and Deion describing what they love most about each other comes from a vlog released on Deion Sanders Jr.’s YouTube channel, Well Off Media. The 47-minute vlog dropped on Tuesday (March 17) and it’s a recap of a family vacation to St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Tran and Daddy Sanders began describing each other’s best qualities about 12-and-a-half minutes in, while sitting on a public bench. He went first, answering what someone seemingly asked him off-camera: “What should people know about Karrueche that they don’t know?” After saying his lady is sweet as sugar, he went in about other qualities he loves about the 37-year-old.

“You look out for a lot of folks, especially your famlily. You make certain I’m straight. Like everyday, like on point. You make sure I got what I need, I got what I want and I’m straight. You dot your Is and cross your Ts and I like that. What more could I need,” Deion Sanders said.

Tran Matches Her Man’s Energy While Describing Him

When it was Karrueche’s turn to speak on Deion, she also graced him with compliments! But at first, she admitted that it’s hard because she feels like the world already knows how he is. Then, she went into detail about how he supports and uplifts the community around him.

“I love how you support those around you and you always want to involve those around you, whether it’s your son, your kids, me, your sister…anybody that you know and love and want to take care of. You’re always supporting them in different ways…I also love how real you are,” Tran said. “I don’t want to say how regular you are, ’cause you’re not regular but just like down to Earth and all these materialistic things, and all these things you’ve experienced, you like your peace. So I just love how at peace and chill you are with yourself.”

See both Deion and Karrueche’s responses below.

IG roommate @collins_kai commented, “Sis got her a old head! That’s my type of carrying on 🔥😍 I love the Deion Sanders type 🔥❤️😍.”

If you’re at all familiar with the catalogue of acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, you might have already heard about his bizarre 10 movie rule. The self-imposed rule centers around Tarantino’s commitment to the concept of quality over quantity, as the aging director seeks to keep his pantheon undiluted by dozens of movies of wildly varying worth.

To maintain this high watermark of excellence, he plans to release only 10 feature films before he retires. Many years ago, fans saw this as an admirable concept, ripe for a Criterion box set of nothing but 10/10 bangers. But these days, it looks like that mission statement is doing more to harm Tarantino’s brand than help it.

According to a write-up in Variety, Quentin Tarantino is currently taking a break from helming his 10th and final film in favor of directing his very first stage play. The show, which has been described as a “swashbuckling comedy,” will be titled The Popinjay Cavalier, based on a script from Tarantino himself. If you’re interested in catching it live, it’s already on pace for an early 2027 debut, though no cast details or venues have been announced.

While this play sounds like an interesting side quest for the filmmaker, it is a bit jarring considering he’s currently nine films deep into his 10-film legacy. If he does stick to his retirement plans, this play seems like the exact kind of thing that he should be doing after his untitled final project. To my eye, it seems like Tarantino has become overwhelmed by pressure of his own making, corralling himself into a set of nebulous guidelines.

The freedom to play it loose and experiment has obviously been present throughout many of Tarantino’s greatest hits, including Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and The Hateful Eight. Like many A-list directors, he’s taken some big swings, like swapping genres to deliver a few cutthroat Westerns, or moving production units overseas for a multinational opus. Now that his self-imposed swan song is rapidly approaching, he may be experiencing some heavy existential dread as he weighs which of his many ideas to produce and which to relegate to the “what-if” pile of cinema history.

Scrapped And Potential Projects

Tarantino has already scrapped numerous projects since the release of his ninth film, 2019’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. He was rumored to be working on everything from a Star Trek movie, to a third volume in the Kill Bill series, to a First Blood remake, with Adam Driver to star as Rambo. Each of these projects eventually fell through, as the director labored over his final outing. Eventually, Tarantino confirmed that he was working on a 10th film titled The Movie Critic.

Unfortunately, The Movie Critic was scrapped right before filming was set to take place, leaving the future works of the two-time Oscar winner in limbo. Since then, Tarantino’s script for The Adventures of Cliff Booth has been handed over to David Fincher, and all other Tarantino motion pictures seem to be suspended indefinitely. Last year, Quentin Tarantino elaborated on his choice to hand over the screenplay to Fincher in a discussion with The Hollywood Reporter, stating, “I love this script, but I’m still walking down the same ground I’ve already walked. It just kind of unenthused me. This last movie, I’ve got to not know what I’m doing again. I’ve got to be in uncharted territory.”

From Reservoir Dogs To Swashbuckling Comedy

Clearly, the decision of what to do next is weighing heavily on Tarantino. Still, it seems like the clear solution would be freeing himself from the shackles of this 10-film rule, and cutting loose with a flurry of new projects that allow him to explore whatever he wants. Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and Stanley Kubrick each have dozens of directing credits on IMDb, and no one questions their lasting legacies.

When asked about his current workload, Tarantino told Variety, “I’m writing a play, and it’s going to be probably the next thing I end up doing. If it’s a fiasco, I probably won’t turn it into a movie. But if it’s a smash hit? It might be my last movie.” So, maybe The Popinjay Cavalier will be the filmmaker’s dramatic closer. Still, it’s hard to imagine a filmography that kicked off with Reservoir Dogs ending with something described as a “swashbuckling comedy.”
