For Tallulah Willis, her wedding dress was more than a spectacular piece of couture. Every detail carried a personal connection, from the shape inspired by something her mother Demi Moore once wore to the Idaho setting where Tallulah spent part of her childhood. 

Moore recently gave fans a glimpse behind the scenes, sharing intimate photographs from her daughter’s final fitting and reflecting on the emotional moments leading up to the ceremony. 

By the time Tallulah walked down the aisle, the Balenciaga gown had become a meeting point for family history, fashion and an extraordinary amount of craftsmanship.

Moore offered a glimpse into the preparations for Tallulah Willis’ wedding by sharing a carousel of photographs from the bride’s final dress fitting on Instagram on Tuesday.

The images captured the proud mom helping her youngest daughter with the veil as Tallulah tried on the custom Balenciaga gown, surrounded by family and close friends.

One of the photos featured Tallulah the stunning dress, receiving a kiss on the cheek from her mom. “A glimpse into my beloved Tallulah’s wedding dress fitting,” Moore captioned the post. 

“All the tender moments leading up to her beautiful day are forever etched in my heart. So grateful we were able to share this precious event together as a family.”

Moore also expressed gratitude to designer Pierpaolo Piccioli, who created the custom gown for Tallulah and helped bring her bridal vision to life. 

The fitting itself became a family occasion, with Moore, Tallulah’s sisters Rumer and Scout Willis, and Moore’s longtime stylist Brad Goreski all present.

Moore’s Wedding Post Draws Emotional Reactions From Fans

Moore’s intimate glimpse at Tallulah Willis’ wedding preparations prompted fans to celebrate not only the bride’s stunning gown but also the family memories surrounding the occasion. 

One commenter expressed hope that Tallulah’s dad Bruce Willis was able to share in the moment, writing, “What a beautiful dress huge Congratulations I hope Bruce was able to see the dress & participate in some way.” 

Another praised Moore’s daughters as “remarkable persons,” while congratulating the actress and calling her “a great mother and a fantastic actor.” 

Other followers focused on Tallulah’s future, with one writing, “Oh my god this is so beautiful and exciting-sending so much love and wishing her a life of happiness and blessings.” 

Tallulah Willis’ Balenciaga Gown Was A Tribute To Moore

The most personal element of Tallulah’s wedding dress was hiding in plain sight: its sculptural neckline was inspired by a look worn by her mother.

The 32-year-old’s gown featured a curved neckline based on a black sheath Moore wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar party earlier this year. The reference gave the bridal design a subtle connection between mother and daughter without turning it into a literal recreation.

The original gown design had a straight neckline, but Tallulah wanted something more distinctive. “I just thought, wouldn’t it be so beautiful to have no necklace and nothing up here, but just the shape,” she told British Vogue during her final fitting.

Piccioli designed the strapless silk satin column gown with a dramatic draped skirt gathered at the hips, a long train and a structured bow at the back. Tallulah said the bow was intended to make her look “like a package that was being unwrapped.”

She finished the look with a floor-length veil, pear-shaped diamond drop earrings and a chignon with loose pieces framing her face. 

Warm, fresh makeup completed the ensemble that combined a classic bridal silhouette with deliberately sculptural details.

Tallulah’s Wedding Dress Took 712 Hours Of Couture Craftsmanship

The personal meaning behind the gown was matched by the extraordinary amount of work required to create it. 

According to Vogue, the Balenciaga atelier spent 712 hours making Tallulah Willis’s dress, with another nine hours devoted specifically to the veil.

Some of the gown’s smallest details demanded an extraordinary investment of time. Each beaded organza petal required approximately 60 hours to hand-embroider and apply, making the finished gown the result of hundreds of hours of painstaking craftsmanship.

The final fitting took place at the Chateau Marmont shortly before Tallulah and Acee’s Idaho ceremony. 

The finished gown was eventually revealed during Tallulah’s outdoor wedding, where her sisters played another important role in the visual story.

Rumer and Scout served as bridesmaids in matching strapless mint-green dresses, complementing the romantic setting without competing with Tallulah’s couture look.

Tallulah Willis Marries Justin Acee In Intimate Idaho Wedding

Tallulah tied the knot with musician Justin Acee in an intimate wedding ceremony in Sun Valley, Idaho, on Saturday, August 8, surrounded by family, friends and several Hollywood names. 

The outdoor ceremony took place in a woodland setting decorated with gilded mirrors, topiary and large floral arrangements, creating a whimsical atmosphere for the couple’s big day. 

Among the reported guests were Moore’s “Charlie’s Angels” co-star Lucy Liu, actor Andrew Garfield, designer Zac Posen and Ali Larter. 

Following the ceremony, guests gathered for dinner at long tables decorated with dusty pink roses and mismatched crockery.

Afterward, speeches gave way to music from DJ Samantha Ronson, while Moore was seen spending time around the lounge areas near the dance floor. 

Unfortunately, Bruce Willis was reportedly absent from the ceremony due to his ongoing battle with dementia.

Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere‘s children are proof that the past does not disrupt the future!

The couple, one of Hollywood’s biggest in the 90s, made headlines during their relationship, which lasted less than a decade. The pair raised eyebrows with the significant age gap between them, which ultimately contributed to their split.

Over three decades later, Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere’s names are back in the spotlight. This time, not just for themselves but thanks to their children, who now work together.

Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere were serving looks, poise, and glam as they posed together for a recent Vogue cover issue. The nepo babies channeled their famous parents, who also did Vogue photoshoots together 34 years ago at the peak of their relationship.

In case you didn’t know, Gerber’s mom, Crawford, was married to Homer’s father from 1991 to 1995 when they were making big splashes in Hollywood. The industry stars have since moved on to other relationships and welcomed their respective children.

In his first big interview, Homer told Vogue how they addressed the issue of their parents’ doomed romance. He recalled that they met at a Los Angeles watering hole where he outright asked if they should “address the fact that our parents were married.” The matter did not linger on between them as Gerber simply responded, “Yeah. Cool,” and that was it.

Is This Pairing Destiny or Déjà Vu?

The matter that Homer and Gerber simply put to bed in just two sentences continues to dwell on the minds and tongues of many. Ryan Murphy cast the pair for his new show “The Shards,” which he co-created with acclaimed novelist Bret Easton Ellis. 

Homer confessed that being placed alongside his father’s ex’s daughter in the show probably “seems too on the nose,” according to The Daily Mail.

Being photographed together for the Vogue cover is also a full-circle Hollywood moment. The nepo babies found themselves in front of Steven Meisel’s camera nearly 34 years after their parents made the magazine’s cover for the November 1992 issue.

Crawford and Richard’s Vogue cover was shot by the legendary Herb Ritts, at whose home the couple was first introduced during a barbecue in the late 1980s.

Gerber’s resemblance to her mom in their new cover is quite uncanny, shining through her bright smile and dark hair. Homer, on the other hand, has Richard’s casual swag, channeling 1990s fashion with his blue jeans, dress shirt, blazer, and tie.

‘The Shards’ Casting Brought The Entertainers To See Its ‘A Small Word’

Who would have thought that, of all the stars in Hollywood to be featured on the drama series, Crawford and Richard’s children would get the part? Entertainment Weekly detailed that “The Shards” is set in 1981 and follows a group of Los Angeles prep school students who must navigate a friendship with a mysterious newcomer while trying to avoid the grip of a vicious serial killer.

The rising progenies of Hollywood big names got to work together on the project series that missed their parents’ marriage by nearly a decade. At the movie premiere, Gerber expressed her excitement to meet Richard, describing the casting as “such a small world.”

Homer talked about the casting at the premiere as well, explaining that the odds were very funny. He also praised his costar for her phenomenal job in the serial killer thriller. “She’s a lovely actress and person, and we’ve gotten really close. So it’s been really a pleasure to work with her,” the actor gushed. 

Kaia Gerber And Homer Gere Have A Good Working Relationship

The rising star’s failed parents’ romance has got nothing on them as they work to pave their own paths in the industry. The pair had never met prior to being cast alongside each other in the 2026 coming-of-age thriller despite their parent’s history.

Homer exclusively told E! News that they met at a bar about two weeks before the cameras started rolling. The movie stars hung out with other cast members, which marked the beginning of a friendship and a harmonious working relationship.

Gerber also spoke highly of Homer, sharing that it had been a lovely experience working with him on the project. Their bond transcended mere coworkers into a beautiful friendship their parents’ doomed past has no hold on.

“He’s so wonderful. He’s so funny. He makes me laugh so hard, and he’s the greatest scene partner ever. And really, it’s such a supportive environment, and we’ve gotten so close over this process,” the model told media outlets about her costar.

Crawford was an acclaimed supermodel in the 90s when she met Richard, who was already an A-lister in Hollywood. The pair met at a mutual friend’s party in 1988 when the model was just 21, and Richard was well into his 30s.

Crawford admitted to being starstruck when she met Gere for the first time. They bonded over conversation and shared likes before they rose to become one of Hollywood’s power couples in their time.

Despite wagging tongues, particularly about their 17-year age gap, the former lovebirds stepped out together for different public events, turning heads.

They eloped in 1991 to Las Vegas and secretly tied the knot with aluminum foil rings at the altar. Crawford recalled it as a spontaneous decision, revealing that she did not even get a wedding dress.

As reported by InStyle, their union ended in 1995, and the model maintains their union was short-lived due to their age difference and very busy schedules.

Will Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere’s past romance ever affect their kids?

Rosie O’Donnell has never been shy about sharing personal details about her life and career, but one surprising revelation involves her longtime crush on Tom Cruise. The comedian and TV personality recently recalled how some people were shocked to learn that she was a lesbian, due to her public admiration of the movie star.

Rosie O’Donnell’s infatuation with Tom Cruise dated back to the mid-’90s, when she frequently talked about her crush on “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” and even referred to him as “my Tommy.” The two have forged a friendship over the years, with the actor leaning into the bit.

In a recent interview, however, O’Donnell shared that some were “shocked” when she came out as a lesbian in 2002. They cited her longtime admiration for Cruise, which the host said they interpreted as her wanting to sleep with him.

“I often said, ‘I don’t want him in bed. I want him to mow my lawn and bring me an iced tea.’ Like that’s what I said. And I didn’t know how much clearer I could be,” O’Donnell told Amy Poehler on the “Good Hang” podcast.

Tom Cruise Acknowledged The TV Host’s Crush

Cruise made a few guest appearances on O’Donnell’s show. In his first guest appearance to promote the movie “Jerry Maguire,” the actor brought her a bouquet of flowers, acknowledged her admiration of him, and even kissed her on the cheek.

O’Donnell openly admitted she had a crush on him and asked, “Does it scare you a little bit?” Laughing, Cruise said he didn’t mind. The host also asked whether Nicole Kidman, whom the actor was married to at that time, knew about her crush.

The host said she didn’t want to break up Cruise and Kidman’s marriage; she was merely “infatuated” with him and wanted the actor to live in her house.

Cruise did a few more appearances before “The Rosie O’Donnell Show” concluded in 2002 after six seasons.

Rosie O’Donnell Still Gets Cards And Gifts From The Actor

O’Donnell and Cruise forged a friendship over the years, and in 2021, the TV personality revealed that the actor has not missed greeting her on her birthday.

She admitted that she doesn’t agree with his beliefs in Scientology and wasn’t close enough to the actor to discuss it, but described him as a “classy” man.

“He is the only person who never misses my birthday. In knowing him for 25 years now, he has never missed my birthday or an event in my life,” O’Donnell said. While some people noted that a secretary may have been sending gifts and cards on the actor’s behalf, O’Donnell thinks otherwise. “I don’t believe that. I think he knows in early March, ‘Oh, it’s Rosie’s birthday coming up,’ and he sends me something,” she said on “The Jess Cagle Show.”

In December 2025, O’Donnell shared a photo of a card she received from the actor for the holidays. She also previously shared that she had received the famous coconut cake that Cruise sends to his celebrity friends.

Elsewhere in the interview with Poehler, O’Donnell revealed her latest crush, Sydney James Harcourt, whom she previously referred to as her “new Tom Cruise.” “A woman’s needs change as she gets older,” she said.

Harcourt, a theater actor, played Rum Tum Tugger on Broadway’s “Cats: The Jellicle Ball,” which the comedian recently watched.

“He is the sexiest human I’ve ever seen and so unbearably talented,” she told Poehler, adding that she felt like “a little schoolgirl” when Harcourt approached her and sang.

Despite the admiration, O’Donnell is still a lesbian. “I still have those feelings but it doesn’t translate into, ‘I would like to be sexually intimate with you.’ Doesn’t go there. Trust me on that,” she said.

Rosie O’Donnell Is Considering A Return To The U.S.

O’Donnell has been traveling back and forth between the U.S. and Ireland in the past few months. She relocated to Ireland in January 2025 with her youngest child due to the political climate, per The Blast.

In July, O’Donnell shared that she is contemplating a move back to the U.S. to be closer to her family. Her son, Blake, welcomed a child in March, and the host wants to purchase a home in New Jersey near her children to have a place to stay whenever she’s in the country. However, she is still unsure whether the move would be permanent.

Steve Burton’s ex-wife, Sheree Burton, is firing back at claims she is alienating the soap star from his daughter Brooklyn following the former couple’s 2022 divorce.

In court documents obtained by Us on Tuesday, August 11, Sheree, 49, requested a judge allow her to move to Tennessee from California, despite Steve’s relocation back to the west coast in recent months.

Sheree alleged in the August 6 filing that their 12-year-old daughter, Brooklyn, “has her own iPad,” which she said “enables her to communicate with father freely via calls, texts and Facetime.”

“Despite father’s claims, she had this same access previously and was not restricted from father,” Sheree declared in the docs.

Steve Burton and his ex-wife, Sheree Burton, have been trading jabs via court documents while fighting over custody of their youngest child. Sheree accused the soap opera star, 54, of being unrelenting in his messages about their daughter Brooklyn, according to a recent filing obtained by In Touch. (The exes share three children: Makena, Jack […]

Sheree acknowledged that she and Steve — who also share adult children Makena, 22, and Jack, 20 — have “poor” communication.

However, she noted the General Hospital star’s messages are allegedly “full of accusations that do not match the reality of the situation such as accusing mother of alienation because she is following the orders he agreed to.”

According to Sheree — who was married to Steve for 23 years before their 2022 split — he signed a “new custody schedule” before deciding to move to Tennessee in February. (The former spouses’ current order gives Steve, 56, time with Brooklyn “one weekend a month when school resumes” and previously entailed him seeing his child once a month while living in separate states.)

Sheree alleged in the August filing that the actor’s relocation was the “second time he moved cross country without Brooklyn,” explaining that she signed a “stipulation” she thought was in her daughter’s “best interest.”

The aforementioned stipulation allowed for Brooklyn to have “frequent and continuing contact” with Steve while she enjoyed her primary residence with Sheree in Orange County, California.

According to the docs, Steve and Sheree “disagreed” over the stipulation details, which Sheree claimed led Steve to go back to court.

Steve Burton’s ex-wife, Sheree Burton, revealed the General Hospital star’s alleged six-figure monthly income in their fight over custody, Us Weekly can exclusively report. Back in April, Sheree demanded the soap star, 54, pay her $25,000 to help cover the bills racked up fighting Steve in court. The request was recently dropped, according to Steve’s […]

Around the time that the exes started mediation, Steve “announced he and his family were moving back to California,” which he allegedly said was to be “near Brooklyn.”

Sheree noted in her filing that she “agreed” to Steve’s requests for time with his daughter over the summer, but claimed that the Young and the Restless actor’s plans on his move “continued to change.”

She further alleged that Steve “does not yet have a stable residence in California,” which Sheree told the judge should help her case as Brooklyn’s primary caretaker.

Sheree argued that although her own proposed move to Tennessee “would be a change” for Brooklyn, she claimed she is the “stable parent and always has been.”

Sheree — who also shares two daughters with husband Jason Amador — added that Brooklyn shouldn’t be “ordered” to stay in California where her primary care would fall to her stepmother, Michelle Lundstrom. (Steve married Lundstrom, 44, in May 2025.)

According to the filing, Sheree “believes it more likely that [Steve] would also return to Tennessee, rendering this RFO moot as well.”

Sheree further claimed that Steve is complicating her desire to move to Tennessee amid his own “unstable living decisions.”

Sheree’s attorney alleged in the filing, “She was hoping he would be honest and reasonable, but in the absence of that coparenting, she is turning to the courts.”

Us has reached out to Steve’s legal team for comment.

A close friend of Malcolm-Jamal Warner‘s widow, Tenisha Warner, made a GoFundMe on her behalf amid the legal battle over the late actor’s estate.

“I have been Tenisha Warner’s closest friend for 19 years,” Tenisha’s friend Destiny Rael wrote in the introduction of the GoFundMe, which was created on Tuesday, August 11. “I am the one who first brought her and Malcolm-Jamal Warner together, and I have been beside her through everything since his tragic passing.”

Rael explained that she organized the page because she has “witnessed, up close, the depth of Tenisha’s grief and the weight she has had to carry” and knows that her friend would not ask for support.

“I know that Malcolm is beloved by so many, and his fans are grieving his loss. I can tell you what most people never see,” Rael continued. “I have watched Tenisha spend this year grieving the love of her life while honoring the promise they made to each other, to homeschool their nine-year-old daughter. Every single day she shows up for her child as though her own world had not fallen apart, and still makes sure breakfast is on the table.”

Malcolm Jamal-Warner’s widow, Tenisha Warner, is addressing her relationship with her mother-in-law, Pamela Warner, amid their bombshell lawsuit. “Right now, everybody — like, all of his family members and [those] who have lost him — they are grieving,” Tenisha told Gayle King in a teaser of her Thursday, July 23, CBS Mornings sit-down. “You know, […]

Rael shared that she was by Tenisha’s side when she returned home following Malcolm-Jamal’s tragic death. In July 2025, the Cosby Show alum died at age 54 after being caught in a riptide in Costa Rica during the family’s vacation.

Rael also revealed that the house had an “unexpected flooding” upon Tenisha’s return.

“She is rebuilding not only her life without him, but the very home they created together,” she wrote. “Every room holds their memories, with no space to truly mourn, because the demands have never paused: legal matters that began within weeks of Malcolm’s passing, financial weight carried alone, a house to put back together, and their daughter to care for every single day. She has stretched every resource she has and borrowed from people who love her just to keep one foot in front of the other.”

Rael claimed that Malcolm-Jamal intended to “update his estate plan to provide for his wife and daughter, but he passed away before he could sign it.” She added that now that Tenisha, 48, is a “single mom,” she “carries the cost of resolving Malcolm’s estate alone because asking for help does not come naturally to her.”

“That is why the people who love her have launched this campaign: to help Tenisha honor Malcolm’s wishes and his legacy while providing stability for their daughter, his only child, and the family he loved most,” Rael wrote.

Proceeds from the GoFundMe “will help ease the financial strain, cover the expenses she is now facing, and provide security for Tenisha and her daughter as they work toward resolving Malcolm’s affairs.” The goal of the fundraiser is $40,000.

Rael made it clear she is “asking anyone to take sides in a family matter” amid the ongoing legal battle between Tenisha and her mother-in-law, Pamela Warner.

“I am asking you to stand with a grieving wife and mother, and her young daughter, so they don’t lose what Malcolm always intended to provide for them,” she continued. “Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful difference. If you are not able to give, sharing this page and keeping Tenisha and her daughter in your thoughts is a powerful gesture of support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

News broke earlier this year that Tenisha filed a lawsuit against Pamela for a prenuptial dispute one year after Malcolm-Jamal died. (Pamela, who previously served as her son’s manager, is the successor trustee of the Warner Family Trust, which Malcolm-Jamal set up in 1996.)

Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s widow, Tenisha Warner, is still processing his fatal drowning nearly one year later. “The moments of that day, they occupy my body so deeply, so it’s really hard for me to relive what all of that was and to think about it,” Tenisha told Gayle King during an emotional CBS Mornings interview on […]

According to court documents obtained by Us in July, Tenisha argued that she is entitled to more than $1.2 million from the trust. Tenisha claimed that the sum is the equivalent of what Malcolm-Jamal had promised her as part of their May 2022 premarital agreement.

While Pamela has not addressed the lawsuit directly, she seemingly hinted at the drama the day the documents were filed in court.

“During my year long journey, I have discovered how cruel, evil and greedy a human can be,” Pamela wrote via Facebook and on the Malcolm Jamal-Warner Living Legacy page via Instagram to mark the first anniversary of her son’s death. “I have also discovered the depth of love, care, concern and support that humans are capable of. All of which I have been the recipient of. The good, the bad and the ugly. These are the lessons that apparently I will need as I continue my journey.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have reportedly settled back into regular life after their highly anticipated wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The NFL star is completely focused on getting back in shape for the new football season and is said to be “very full on” about his training and staying “disciplined.”

Now, sources claim that while it’s not Taylor Swift’s first football season experience with her beau, it is going to be a major switch for the couple after the high of their fairy tale nuptials and honeymoon.

Swift and Kelce are set to make big changes after returning to reality following their expensive wedding that shut down New York City on July 3.

Since their wedding, the couple has kept a notably low profile. Their rare public appearances include attending a fellow NFL star’s nuptials just a week after their own, followed by a recent sighting of Kelce on his way to training camp, which went viral due to claims he had gained some extra weight.

Speaking about the couple’s current state after their wedding celebrations, a source told Star Magazine that Kelce is “back to being ultra disciplined with his diet and sleep schedule and training. It’s very full-on,” while Taylor “knows what to expect and she’s totally happy to support him.”

The source added, “But there’s no doubt it’s a big change to go from indulging non-stop to not even having a glass of wine with dinner.”

The Singer Wants To Be The ‘Ultimate Support System’ For Her NFL Star Husband

According to the inside source, Swift is completely dedicated to Kelce’s success and is pulling out all the stops to serve as his biggest “support system.”

This devotion translates into tangible daily habits as she has committed to preparing his meals and matching his demanding schedule by turning in early right beside him.

“[She’s] all in with him and wants to be the ultimate support system, so she’s cooking him healthy meals [and] she’s going to bed early right alongside him,” the source noted, per Star.

They added, “She has no issue buckling down and focusing. It’s what she does best.”

As for Swift, the singer is also reportedly focused on getting back to work, as insiders claim that she has a secret new music project brewing.

“It’s all top secret, but there is another album brewing,” a source shared about the alleged project. “She’s doing those sessions when he’s training and occasionally doing her own thing and going to the studio for marathon sessions.”

The claim comes almost two months after the singer was spotted arriving at Electric Lady Studios in New York City on Monday, June 15. At the time, her outing sent her fans, affectionately known as Swifties, raving on social media about the possibility of new music.

“They’re both having to get back to reality, but that hasn’t taken the wind out of their sails,” the source noted about Kelce and Swift. “They are still giddy in love.”

The Couple Recently Became Dog Parents

Swift and Kelce’s wedding also came with a major surprise after it was revealed that the couple had become pet parents to a Samoyed, with sources branding the decision to get the dog an important milestone in their relationship.

According to a report, Swift and Kelce spent considerable time mulling over the decision before making the move to get the pet “because they wanted to make sure they were ready for that level of commitment.”

Swift’s reputation as a devoted pet lover is well established, rooted in her years of companionship with her three iconic cats, Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson, and Benjamin Button, all of whom preceded her 2023 romance with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

Although transitioning to caring for a puppy involves significantly more responsibility and effort than managing the singer’s cats, sources close to the pair noted that they have wholeheartedly welcomed the challenge and are thriving in their expanded roles as pet parents.

Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Were Left ‘Disheartened’ By The Negative Chatter And Rumors About Their Wedding

According to individuals close to the newlyweds, recent friction regarding their wedding guest list and alleged negativity from within their social circles has left them feeling deeply discouraged.

While the couple is generally adept at ignoring media scrutiny, an insider told Star Magazine that the situation has hit close to home and has been “pretty disheartening” for them.

Because Kelce is scheduled to return to work shortly, the source pointed out that “he’s got to go back to that locker room any day now,” an environment that could prove awkward due to reports of resentment over wedding invitations.

Ultimately, the constant influx of gossip is taking a toll, with the insider revealing that the pair is “finding it quite exhausting keeping up with all the rumors and all the mischief that people are making” about their wedding ceremony.

Kristen Stewart is getting candid about her experience collaborating with her wife Dylan Meyer and why she views filmmaking as an intimate experience. 

Stewart took the leading role in the new stoner comedy “The Wrong Girls,” which was written and directed by her partner, marking Meyer’s directorial debut. 

The pair first crossed paths on a movie set in 2013, but it wasn’t until years down the line that they reconnected and became romantically connected.

During an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” the actress opened up about working with Meyer. 

For the “Twilight” actress, filmmaking is deeply personal, and so it only makes sense to do it with someone so close to her. “

Making something with somebody is my favorite form of intimacy,” she explained, adding that a great movie feels “like an act of love.” 

For this reason, the 36-year-old admitted that collaborating with people in her inner circle felt very natural. 

The host wondered if Stewart had been discouraged by those around her, sharing their concern about mixing business with marriage. 

The Oscar-nominated actress made it clear she wasn’t exactly concerned with this. She replied that she was exceptionally demanding and direct, and she would not let that happen.

Stewart also had plenty of praise for her significant other’s talent and her creative instinct, highlighting the movie’s soundtrack. She also referred to Meyer as a “cool girl” and expressed excitement at seeing her vision come to life. 

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer Had An Intimate Home Wedding 

Despite “The Wrong Girls” being the couple’s first creative collaboration, the lovebirds’ personal lives have been intertwined for over a decade. 

The duo was married in an intimate ceremony at Stewart’s Los Angeles home after obtaining their marriage certificate at the courthouse. They were surrounded by close friends and family for the nuptials that took place in  April of 2025. 

The Blast reported that the newlyweds looked radiant in coordinating outfits, sporting simple hairdos with white and blue bouquets in hand.

Stewart first met the screenwriter thirteen years ago, and reconnected again in 2019. 

According to People Magazine, the long-term partners had casually met on a movie set in 2013, and although they both lived in LA, their paths never crossed. They reconnected at a mutual friend’s birthday party six years later, where they instantly hit it off. 

In August of 2019, the two stars were spotted kissing each other in New York, sparking dating rumors online. The “Charlie’s Angels” wasted no time going IG official with Meyer, and the rest is history.

Kristen Stewart Addressed Her Decision To Come Out On Air

Years before walking down the aisle, the movie star had openly come out during an “SNL” monologue. In February of this year, she got honest about her reason why. 

As reported by The Blast, Stewart likened not coming out to living a partial life. She reflected on how people around her had encouraged her to keep that part of her life private, claiming it would be beneficial to her career. 

“I was like, ‘So you want me to live a partial life? And you want me to uphold, perpetuate, and sustain a system that excludes people?’ And I just can’t do that,” the 36-year-old stated.

Stewart has continued to be vocal about her opinion on gender equality in the industry. 

Kristen Stewart’s Viral Interaction Sparked Concern As Fans Questioned Her Reaction

While the actress’s romantic life continues to make headlines, she has recently found herself in the spotlight after a viral moment was caught during the Biarritz Film Festival in France. 

As reported by The Blast, a widely circulated clip of the “Twilight Saga” actress sparked discussions. The Hollywood star was seen speaking on stage with a man approaching her from behind. After listening to him speak for a while, she stepped back and remained seated on the platform behind her. 

The video was shared on X, with online spectators commenting on the “Twilight” alum’s uncomfortable expression. 

Some viewers supported Stewart’s reaction, while others suggested the moment may have been taken out of context. Neither Stewart nor festival organizers publicly addressed the incident. 

Reacher thrives on a simple formula: Alan Ritchson‘s titular protagonist travels from town to town and city to city, often encountering evil in the process — and giving it a brutal beating. Throughout its run, Reacher introduced plenty of allies, including Maria Sten‘s Frances Neagley, and more than a few foes over the course of three seasons. Season 4 premieres tomorrow, and while it’s gaining some of the best reviews of the series fans might be surprised to learn that it’s continuing a long-running trend of establishing one character’s presence. What makes this worth mentioning? This character has never appeared on screen during Reacher‘s run

During Collider’s visit to the set of Reacher Season 4, production designer Nazgol Goshtasbpour revealed that each season has featured a workstation that belongs to a mysterious woman named Trish. Originally, Goshtasbpour and her crew wanted to make sure that the places where Reacher and his allies operate feel lived in, but decided to create a character entirely out of whole cloth to add to the illusion. In the process, they’ve actually managed to track this character’s life, and potentially set her up to appear in a future season of Reacher.

The ‘Reacher’ Production Designer Made Sure Trish’s Presence is Felt in ‘Reacher’

The idea to shape Trish’s workspace came during Season 2 of Reacher, which also brought Neagley into the fold. Nazgol Goshtasbpour said that she and the rest of the production team decided to create a character who was a joy to hang out with, which feels out of place with the brutal action of Reacher but screams to be explored further.

“So we like to, and especially our scenic team, we like to come up with a backstory of, like, who sits at that desk, even though, like, nobody’s there in our story. And we came up with a character named Trish, who was, like, fun and happy and, you know, she liked to go for happy hour.”

To make Trish’s landscape stand out, Goshtasbpour and her team added flourishes that would immediately draw the eye. Season 2 featured a leopard print jacket hanging on the back of a chair, alongside a pair of high heels and a bottle of wine; given Goshtasbpour’s description of Trish’s personality, these feel like the perfect accessories. Season 3 took it a step further with a similar setup in Neagey’s private investigator office, suggesting that she and Trish had a history. Finally, Season 4 will feature Trish having an office in a chemical plant; this aligns with the high stakes of the Lee Child novel it’s based on, Gone Tomorrow, where Reacher investigates a conspiracy that threatens to level Philadelphia.

Could Trish Show Up on ‘Reacher’?

Though Trish hasn’t appeared in the flesh on Reacher, Nazgol Goshtasbpour has hinted that the production team will continue to hint at her presence, with a major change coming for Season 5. “And then so next season, if we do another office, it’s going to be her retirement party,” she said. It does raise the question: could Trish and Reacher potentially cross paths in future seasons? The hulking ex-soldier has gained a reputation for romancing most of the women he encounters. There’s also the utterly hilarious idea of seeing a stoic figure like Reacher having to be in the presence of a bubbly party girl, especially if the right actress is picked to play Trish. Most of the people Reacher met can hold their own in battle as well; is it possible that Trish could be packing some deadly skills behind her party girl facade?

Making a television show is a labor of love by a veritable army of people; you have to get the right cast, the right writers, and the right production designers who bring the world of your show to life. By establishing Trish as a recurring presence, Reacher‘s production team has helped the show stand out in Prime Video’s catalog.

After a tough year for the MCU in 2025, with the likes of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Thunderbolts*, and Captain America: Brave New World all disappointing in one way or another, cinema’s biggest franchise has staged a superhuman comeback this summer. After debuting in late July, Spider-Man: Brand New Day — the final MCU stop ahead of Avengers: Doomsday this December — has smashed a jaw-dropping number of records as it defied even the highest of expectations.

In less than one week, the so-called “best Spidey adventure in 20 years” earned the biggest opening weekend in domestic history, the biggest ever in previews, the biggest first week haul of all time, and became the second-fastest film to reach the $1 billion mark worldwide. This was all before many had even had the chance to see it. Then came a second weekend that, once again, defied expectation, as Brand New Day earned the third-biggest second weekend haul of all time, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Endgame.

Just as it seems we might be able to catch our breath, another major record rears its head. After becoming the highest-grossing Hollywood film in Indian history in just 10 days, Brand New Day currently boasts a global haul of $1.672 billion, comprising $654 million in domestic revenue and an additional $1.017 billion from overseas markets. This means that the film is already the 11th highest-grossing movie of all time, with a gap of just $26 million to bridge before officially joining the elite top ten. All that sits in Brand New Day‘s way is the $1.698 billion-grossing Inside Out 2.

When Will We See Tom Holland Again?

It has been a hugely busy month for Holland, as he starred in both of, not just this summer, but the year’s biggest films so far. Alongside Brand New Day, Holland also featured heavily in Christopher Nolan‘s historical epic The Odyssey, which has now become the great director’s biggest movie of all time. Understandably, following such a busy period, the 30-year-old British actor doesn’t have anything upcoming. In fact, Marvel Studios Producer and President Kevin Feige has said, “he’s going to rest after that global tour. He and Zendaya are going to take a good and restful victory lap, which they very much deserve.”

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in theaters now. Stay tuned to Collider for more box office updates.

In the Autumn of 1990, Metallica entered One on One Recording Studio in North Hollywood, California to begin recording its fifth studio album. The band was coming off its first headlining arena tour and most-successful record to date …And Justice For All, which spawned the song and music video for “One,” which received a good amount of play on MTV, setting the stage for what would come next. The quartet decided to take its time in the studio with new producer Bob Rock, who had recently helmed Dr. Feelgood by Motley Crue and The Cult’s Sonic Temple, both of which were released in 1989.

Bob Rock worked with frontman James Hetfield to capture vastly better vocals and a true rhythm section, which was all but absent on …And Justice For All. In the documentary A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica, bassist Jason Newstead explains the band wanted to create a stronger unit behind the assault of James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett‘s heavy guitars.

The group spent 18 months recording the effort, refining its sound and focusing on slower grooves, succinct arrangements and powerful vocal performances. Many of the songs on the album began as vocal melody lines, a first for the group. Hetfield explains, “We wanted to concentrate more on the vocals. We never really took the time to do that with any of the vocal stuff. The vocals really had to take over in a lot of songs.” When all was said and done, the band’s fifth LP became the best-selling heavy metal album in history.

Metallica released its self-titled effort, known as The Black Album, on August 12, 1991. The LP is the band’s best-selling record, shifting over 31 million units worldwide, spawning five hit singles, including “Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Wherever I May Roam” and “Sad But True.” “Enter Sandman” was the first single released off the album, and it was an immediate smash with its iconic opening riff. The video, which won an MTV Video Music Award, was on high rotation on the network. It peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, helping the album debut at number one on the Billboard Album chart in August 1991, where it remained for four consecutive weeks.

“Sad But True” is the second track and stands out with its dropped “D” guitar tuning. To capture the heavy guitar tone on “Sad But True,” and other songs, Bob Rock created the “Tent of Doom.” The makeshift tent comprised of wooden panels and baffling surrounding multiple amplifiers with microphones positioned both close to the speakers and farther away to capture room ambience. Rock covered the creation with heavy U-Haul blankets to help obtain a thicker and deep multidimensional tone that really leaps off the record.

“The Unforgiven” flips the script on Metallica’s formula for “ballads.” Instead of clean verses and heavy choruses used in classic tracks “Fade to Black” and “Welcome Home (Sanitarium),”, they swapped the distorted verse with a clean chorus and gentle vocals from Hetfield. The song, which launched two sequels, “The Unforgiven II” in 1997 and “The Unforgiven III” in 2008, crossed over, was a top 40 hit. Kirk Hammett struggled to get the solo just right, but in the end, he laid down gripping and melodic guitar work. He later admitted, “It’s pretty much the type of guitar solo I’ve been trying to do for the past five or six years. I’m really proud of that.”

“Nothing Else Matters” was the first true Metalliballad. It was another top 40 hit for the band and frontman James Hetfield plays the melodic guitar solo on the tune. On the flip side, the album has great, concise songs that harken back to the band’s thrash beginnings, including “Through the Never,” “Of Wolf and Man,” “Don’t Tread on Me,” “The Struggle Within,” and “Holier Than Thou.” “The God That Failed” and “My Friend of Misery,” the only song which bassist Jason Newstead gets a writing credit, are two of the more progressive songs, with impressive guitar work, that stand the test of time.

The quartet used a plethora of instruments and unique percussion tools to enhance the recording. Drummer Lars Ulrich added shakers, tambourines and the signature gong on “Wherever I May Roam,” while James Hetfield used a lever-action rifle in the studio to create a percussive overdub heard in “That God That Failed,” which you can hear at the 3:50 to four minute mark behind Kirk Hammett’s guitar solo. The quartet also added instruments they’d never used in the studio prior, including the electric sitar, 12-string bass, 12-string acoustic guitar, nylon string guitar and baritone guitar. Bob Rock talked the band into adding keyboards and a string section from the Michael Kamen conducted London Symphony Orchestra on “Nothing Else Matters.”

Lyrically, the album strays from the group’s focus on history, war, and horror to tracks that deal with universal human emotions, showing off a vulnerability that was nowhere to be heard before. “Nothing Else Matters,” “The Unforgiven” and “The God That Failed” all feature personal and heartfelt lyrics as well as emotional vocals from James Hetfield. Producer Bob Rock coaxed some great vocal performances, including some amazing vocal harmonies out of Hetfield, which improved the quality of the music and gives the effort a more robust sound.

As a result of the effort’s success, Metallica skyrocketed to worldwide fame and toured for over three and a half years behind the classic album. They played over 400 concerts in 30 countries, including the group’s first shows in the Soviet Union, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. In September 1991, Metallica played the Monsters of Rock concert at the Tushino Airfield in Moscow with AC/DC, Pantera and The Black Crowes. The free concert drew more than a million fans, just months before the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 new sovereign nations.

The Wherever We May Roam Tour ran from 1991 to 1993. In the midst of that outing, Metallica joined Guns N’ Roses for the ill-fated 1992 Summer co-headlining tour. The group kept playing sold-out shows through 1993 with the Nowhere Else to Roam Tour and into 1994 with a shed tour playing outdoor theaters instead of arenas and stadiums. Metallica’s music videos for “Sad But True” and “Wherever I May Roam” perfectly capture the energy and experience of what it was like to see the band live in the early 90s.

The Black Album Still Impacts Pop Culture Today

The Black Album is a landmark effort that brought heavy metal to the masses and broke down barriers between heavy metal, rock and pop music fans. The LP cemented Metallica’s legacy as one of the greatest bands in history. “Enter Sandman,” which won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance at the 1992 ceremony, is a ubiquitous song that is as relevant today as it was when it was released 35 years ago. Drummer Lars Ulrich’s signature backbeat and Kirk Hammett’s iconic guitar riff are played at every major sporting event to pump up the crowd. Hall of Fame Major League Baseball relief pitcher Mariano Rivera from the New York Yankees used the iconic song as his entrance music when he came into games from 1999-2013. The Virginia Tech Hokies football team have used the track since 2000 as its entrance music, creating a chill-inducing environment. The song has appeared in TV shows like The Simpsons and The Sopranos. “Enter Sandman” still receives a lot of radio play and blends right in with today’s classic rock programming.

Who’s Your Perfect Classic Rock Band?

The effort proved that a metal band could impact pop culture without losing its identity. The Black Album spent over 700 weeks on the Billboard Album chart and held the top spot for four consecutive weeks in August and September 1991. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2009. After 35 years, The Black Album is the defining achievement of the band’s career and one of the most influential records in music history. The LP had an indelible impact on Gen X and its legacy is still being written as new audiences discover the classic album.
