While fans await new music from NLE Choppa, it seems like the rapper is stepping into his next chapter, ready to come back stronger than ever. It’s been nearly two years since NLE Choppa released a full-length project. Since then, he’s kept fans fed with projects like SLUT SZN and installments in his Shotta Flow series while continuing to evolve both personally and creatively.
Lately, the rapper has been very vocal about his personal growth and sobriety journey. Back in May, he wrote on X, “I didn’t realize how much smoking weed was hindering me until I stopped.”
He later followed up with more reflective posts, including “Excuse me for forgetting who I was,”
Based on his recent messages, 2026 appears to be a year of growth and reflection for the rapper. He even recently hit the studio with his daughter, Clover, to create a bop for the kiddies.

The Sitcom Trope That Makes No Sense But Every Show Does It
By Robert Scucci
| Published

For the sake of convenience and continuity, every single sitcom somehow has a soundproof kitchen that’s seemingly located in another dimension where guests can’t hear conversations across an open floor plan. On a technical level, this trope makes sense because erecting an entirely new set for secret conversations to take place would prove to be a cumbersome ordeal. But how much disbelief are we supposed to suspend when sitcom characters like Frasier Crane talk loudly about their guests who are clearly within earshot?
Magically Sound Proof Kitchens

The only sitcom in recent memory that actually acknowledged this trope during its run was How I Met Your Mother. In the episode “Okay Awesome,” Marshall and Lily are frustrated after inviting their new boring friends, Claire and Austin, over for a wine-tasting party. When Marshall steps into the kitchen to air his grievances about Claire and Austin, it’s revealed that Claire is standing right behind him, having heard every word. It’s a rare instance of a sitcom recognizing that an open-concept apartment doesn’t magically become a private confessional just because somebody crossed into the kitchen.
Even then, it’s implied that if Claire hadn’t breached the kitchen’s threshold, Marshall would have gotten away with his mean-spirited jabs about Claire and Austin’s 30-year fixed mortgage and ultrasound photos. Given how the episode concludes with Marshall and Lily literally climbing out of their bathroom window to meet up with the rest of the gang at the club, “Okay Awesome” didn’t need to lean into the soundproof sitcom kitchen trope because it’s not like they were trying to save face in the first place. If anything, having Claire overhear the entire conversation from the living room would have better sold the joke while poking even more fun at one of television’s oldest unwritten rules.
Pokes Fun At The Concept

From this point forward, we never see Claire or Austin in any significant capacity again, so who cares if their feelings get hurt over some critical commentary when their hosts rudely abandon their own party to meet up with the rest of the gang anyway? Their friendship was clearly doomed regardless, which makes the need for a magically private kitchen feel even more unnecessary.
I’m willing to forgive How I Met Your Mother because it at least acknowledges the absurdity of the trope instead of pretending it isn’t happening. Most sitcoms simply expect us to accept that crossing an invisible line into the kitchen somehow creates a cone of silence, but “Okay Awesome” briefly calls attention to how ridiculous that idea actually is before going right back to business as usual.
The Most Egregious Examples Can Be Found In Frasier

But I can’t say the same thing about Frasier, where Frasier Crane routinely has crucial conversations in his kitchen with his booming baritone voice while his guests sit less than 10 feet away in the living room. One of the most egregious examples of the soundproof sitcom kitchen trope comes in “Daphne Dates a Niles Doppelganger,” when Niles has a complete meltdown over hesitating to tell Daphne how he feels, only to watch her start dating a man who’s practically his exact double.
While the episode implies that conversations taking place in Frasier’s kitchen can’t be heard anywhere else in the apartment, it completely undermines that logic moments later. As Frasier mingles with his guests in the living room, he immediately hears Niles accidentally drop and shatter one of his antique coffee cups in the kitchen (Catherine of Aragon!), proving that sound can, in fact, travel freely between the two rooms. If Niles breaking a coffee cup carries across the apartment, there’s no reason an emotionally distraught Frasier ranting at full volume shouldn’t.
The Rare Exception

If sitcoms are going to use this trope, they should at least commit to it. The kitchen can’t only become a soundproof bunker when the plot demands a private conversation, only for noises to travel freely across the exact same distance moments later. Either sound carries through an open floor plan or it doesn’t.
That’s also why the trope feels less noticeable in sitcoms like Seinfeld and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Those shows thrive on characters openly scheming against one another, insulting each other to their faces, or making no effort to hide their selfish intentions in the first place. When everybody’s already saying the quiet part out loud, there’s far less need for a magically silent kitchen to keep the story moving.

Netflix Assassin Psychological Thriller Series Starts With Perfect First Season
By Charlene Badasie
| Published

The popular British spy thriller Killing Eve is streaming on Netflix. The show is based on Luke Jennings’ Villanelle novel series, with each season led by a different head writer. Phoebe Waller-Bridge handles Season 1, with Emerald Fennell working on Season 2, Suzanne Heathcote on Season 3, and Laura Neal lending her talents to Season 4.
Killing Eve revolves around British intelligence investigator Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) who is tasked with finding a psychopathic assassin named Villanelle (Jodie Comer). As Eve closes in on Villanelle, the pair unexpectedly become obsessed with each other, leading to a complex and dangerous game of cat and mouse filled with a strange kind of mutual admiration.
Season 1

In Season 1, viewers are introduced to a disillusioned Eve who is bored with her role in MI5. After handling an investigation poorly, she is fired. But her fascination with female assassins sees Eve find undercover work with MI6, who are searching for the ruthless international assassin Villanelle and the shadowy criminal organization known as The Twelve.
As Villanelle continues carrying out high-profile hits across Europe, Eve becomes increasingly consumed with catching her. At the same time, Villanelle develops a dangerous fascination with Eve, and their mutual obsession gradually leads them both astray from their original missions.
Season 2

Killing Eve Season 2 sees Eve and Villanelle continue their increasingly complicated relationship following the shocking events of the first season. Separately, Eve works to solve murders orchestrated by The Twelve, while Villanelle continues carrying out deadly assignments for the organization.
But when a new killer is thrown into the mix, both The Twelve and MI6 shift their focus, forcing Eve and Villanelle into an uneasy partnership that further blurs the line between hunter and prey.
Season 3

Season 3 begins six months after the events of the mission in Rome. Traumatized by almost dying at the hands of Villanelle, Eve resigns from MI6, opting for a quiet life instead. Meanwhile, Villanelle is forced to find new means of income after walking away from her role as an assassin for The Twelve while searching for a sense of purpose beyond killing.
Their new status quo is quickly shattered when Villanelle crosses paths with her former Twelve trainer, Dasha, and Eve suffers a devastating personal loss. As both women are pulled back into the orbit of The Twelve, their lives inevitably collide once again.
Season 4

Killing Eve Season 4 sees Eve seeking revenge against The Twelve, while Villanelle desperately tries to leave her violent past behind and become a better person. Despite making compromises, the duo continues to clash over their personal missions and vastly different outlooks on life.
However, their paths eventually converge as they pursue the same elusive target, setting the stage for a tense and emotional series finale that divided fans.
Everyone Loved It Until The End

Killing Eve debuted on BBC America in April 2018 and concluded with Season 4 in April 2022. The first three seasons of the show were praised by critics and currently hold impressive Rotten Tomato scores of 96, 92, and 79 percent, respectively. The fourth season received a negative response, with a dreary 52 percent on the review aggregator site.
Viewers were unhappy with the final episode of Killing Eve Season 4 and criticized the show for what some deemed to be queer baiting. Critics felt that the ending was rushed and lacked closure, while the series, in its entirety, failed to deliver a proper conclusion regarding the obsession between Eve and Villanelle that had been central to the story.

Despite the backlash, Killing Eve broke weekly rating records and earned multiple awards. Its list of accolades includes the British Academy Television Award for Best Drama Series. Sandra Oh won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series (Drama), and Jodie Comer took home a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
Killing Eve is currently streaming on Netflix.

Liam Neeson’s New Action Thriller Looks Like a Brutal ‘The Fugitive’ Meets ‘Taken’ [Exclusive]
Over the past year and change, Liam Neeson has embraced his humorous side. Last year’s The Naked Gun reboot was hailed as one of the standout comedies of 2025, having him carry on the torch for the late Leslie Nielsen as Frank Drebin Jr. At the start of 2026, Samuel Goldwyn Films also featured him in the horror comedy creature feature Cold Storage with Joe Keery and Sosie Bacon, while, next month, he’ll be reeled in for one final job in the darkly funny crime film 4 Kids Rob a Bank. That doesn’t mean he’s done with the action thriller genre that he’s known and loved for, though.
Announced back in 2024, The Mongoose is set to release on October 30 and will place Neeson in the role of another relatable hero worth rooting for on the worst day of his life. He plays Ryan ”Fang” Flanagan, a decorated war veteran accused of murder, who decides to lead the authorities on a high-octane car chase across the country — think The Fugitive on steroids. As he speeds down the road in a Mustang Shelby Cobra GT 65, an enraptured public watches on, cheering for his escape while his brothers in arms do what they can to help him evade a relentless police pursuit. Ahead of its premiere, Collider can exclusively share the official trailer, showing how he wound up in this mess with nothing left to lose and the world watching his every move.
The footage begins with Flanagan on the road with his ex-wife pleading for him to turn himself in. Remembering his time at war, however, he refuses to be captured again, especially after how this all began. A quick flashback finds him in a hospital with his ex, who’s sporting a nasty bruise after an altercation with her current partner. When Flanagan goes to their home to get her stuff and confront her abuser, things quickly go south, and he gets shot, though his attacker is fatally injured by the fall. Knowing how bad it looks, he chooses the only option he believes he has: to steal one of the man’s cars and go on the run. It kicks off a battle of wits and speed between Flanagan and the police, led by a ruthless Michael Chiklis, who is sparing no expense, man, or arm to take him down, dead or alive. To even the odds, his fellow war veterans, whether they fought in the same conflict or not, run interference as he races towards The Mongoose, his only hope of getting out alive.
Who Else Joins Neeson’s Star-Studded Car Chase in ‘The Mongoose’?
At the helm of The Mongoose in his directorial debut is someone Neeson is intimately familiar with — his go-to stunt double, Mark Vanselow. The two have worked on countless projects together over the years, including some of the star’s best work, like the Taken films, The Ice Road, and The Naked Gun. For his first feature, he works with a script by Hit List writer Thompson Evans and a starry supporting group, including Marisa Tomei, Ving Rhames, Marcus Thomas, and Maurice Marvel Meredith. Rounding out the team are producers Al Corley, Bart Rosenblatt, and Eugene Musso.
The Mongoose debuts in theaters on October 30. Check out the exclusive trailer in the player above.

Critics Slam Meghan Markle’s Milestone Emmy Nomination
Meghan Markle‘s axed Netflix series is up for an Emmy award, and she couldn’t be prouder.
The Duchess of Sussex marked the nomination with a heartfelt post, crafting the perfect response worthy of her royal status.
Although Meghan Markle was beaming with joy over her show’s achievement, some fans and critics had a different reaction to the news.

After the Daytime Emmy nominations were revealed on Tuesday, July 14, Meghan updated her social media feed the following day with a promotional picture of her lifestyle series. The image captured her outdoors, flashing a radiant smile as she held a bouquet of pink flowers.
The words “Create wonder in every moment,” alongside the series’ name, “With Love, Meghan,” were written across the picture. An excited Meghan reacted to the show’s Emmy nomination in the Instagram post’s caption, celebrating the achievement as a joint effort. In her words:
“A huge congratulations to the amazing crew, producers, and team who worked on ‘With Love, Meghan’ on @netflix. We are nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Lifestyle Series!”
Fans Call Out The Former Actress’s Emmy Nomination
The Emmys announced Meghan’s show’s nomination on X, revealing that she was up for the Outstanding Lifestyle Series award alongside four other shows. The nominees were “A Different Breed,” “George to the Rescue,” “The Motherhood,” and “The Wizard of Paws.”
The Duchess’s nomination with these shows did not sit well with fans, with some speculating that she bought her way into the list. Someone claimed Meghan failed to make it into the culinary category despite that being the focus of her show and stole the spotlight from shows linked to charitable causes.
Another fan agreed, noting the former actress’s Netflix series had been “mocked, laughed at, ridiculed, [and] talked about all throughout the world.” They added that her show was “the most inauthentic lifestyle show ever made,” dubbing it “a clown show for a clown award.”
“F-ck me, the Emmy nomination can be bought? ‘With Love, Meghan,’ sorry but WTF did you even watch it!? It’s not even accurate; most of the stuff is copied from TikTok,” an X user argued. A fellow critic wondered how a canceled show managed to score an Emmy nomination, alleging that she “clearly bought” her spot.
The Duchess Of Sussex’s Netflix Series Isn’t Up For Season 3
The comments about Meghan’s axed show referenced Netflix’s decision not to move forward with season 3. PEOPLE covered the story in January, reporting that the streaming giant had no plans to continue the lifestyle series after two seasons.
A source broke the news, telling the outlet that a third season was off the table, but it wasn’t a permanent cancellation. They claimed Netflix might consider launching specials or one-off projects tied to the series in the future, as they did in December 2025.
“With Love, Meghan” had a holiday special that launched on December 3, 2025. It was a one-hour festive episode that captured Meghan sharing tips for hosting holiday events. She also revealed more about her life with Prince Harry and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The As Ever Founder Cut Ties With The Streaming Platform

When news of the series’ cancellation dropped, Netflix was still a partner in the Duchess’s lifestyle brand, As Ever. She launched the brand with the first season of “With Love, Meghan” in March 2025. Fast forward to March 2026, the duo was no longer a team.
Insiders told The Sun that Meghan had split from Netflix and was happier controlling her brand without the streaming giant. She allegedly felt like her lifestyle line was being “held back” by the platform. Despite their separation as partners, the pair were still “on good terms.”
“It’s a good time for Meghan to have complete control, given recent successes. Netflix has been a good partner, but she’s wanted to go global with the brand for some time,” a source explained. They noted that the former actress’s global expansion was delayed “by the more cautious Netflix team.”
Meghan Markle’s Netflix Partnership Was Allegedly A Lost Cause

Weeks after claims of Netflix and Meghan’s amicable separation as partners, The Blast reported that other sources painted a different narrative. These insiders argued that the streaming platform suffered significant losses from their deal with the Duchess and chose to cut their relationship short.
One source claimed the platform invested millions in their deal with the media personality, but they did not see “a return whatsoever.” There were also claims of Netflix’s team having a hard time on the lifestyle series because they “did not enjoy working with Meghan.”
Although there were claims of tension between the Duchess and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, both sides denied the rumors. Sarandos has been a consistent supporter of the Sussexes, once claiming the million-dollar deal with Prince Harry and his wife was “a big discovery model” for Netflix.

Kim Scott Arrested For OWI In May
Scott was arrested in May for allegedly hitting a parked car while intoxicated. According to CBS News, she was arrested after failing a Breathalyzer test.
Eminem’s ex-wife was also arrested in February for an OWI after allegedly hitting another vehicle while under the influence.
After she skipped a scheduled court appearance in June, two bench warrants were issued. However, they were canceled after she turned herself in, per WDIV. Per the outlet, Scott has a sentencing scheduled for 9 a.m. on August 13.
Eminem And Scott Were Married And Divorced Twice
Eminem and his ex-wife married and divorced twice. The ‘My Name Is’ rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, met Scott when they were teenagers. According to PEOPLE, they had their daughter, Hailie Scott, in 1995.
They married for the first time in 1999 but divorced in 2001. The couple married again in 2006. Scott and Eminem divorced for the last time in 2007.

The Batman Part II Delayed to 2028 as Matt Reeves Shares First Camera Test Footage : Coastal House Media
A major Marvel rumor is making waves online, with reports claiming that Adam Driver is being lined up to play Magneto in Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated X-Men reboot.
The casting rumor quickly gained traction after surfacing through industry scoopers before spreading across social media, Reddit, and several entertainment news outlets. While Marvel Studios has yet to confirm the report, Driver’s name has rapidly become one of the most talked about possibilities for the iconic mutant leader.
If the rumor proves true, Driver would become the third major actor to portray Erik Lehnsherr on the big screen, following legendary performances by Sir Ian McKellen and Michael Fassbender. The role is widely considered one of Marvel’s most complex characters, requiring an actor capable of balancing both villainy and sympathy, something many fans believe Driver has consistently demonstrated throughout his career.
Adding even more excitement to the speculation is the timing. Marvel Studios is expected to return to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con later this month, and many insiders believe the presentation could serve as the stage for the studio’s first official X-Men casting announcements. While rumors continue to point toward Hall H as the place where Marvel could unveil its new mutant lineup, the studio has not confirmed that any X-Men casting announcements are planned, making the speculation just that for now.
Recent reports have suggested Marvel is assembling a fresh roster of mutants following the events of Avengers: Secret Wars, with younger actors reportedly being sought for characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, and Nightcrawler. Veteran actors are still believed to be in the mix for legacy characters such as Magneto and Professor X, making Driver’s rumored involvement a believable fit if Marvel chooses to go that route.
Magneto, Marvel
Driver is no stranger to blockbuster franchises, having portrayed Kylo Ren throughout Disney’s Star Wars sequel trilogy while also earning Academy Award nominations for Marriage Story and BlacKkKlansman. His ability to portray emotionally layered characters has made him a longtime fan favorite for several Marvel roles.
For now, however, fans should approach the rumor with caution. Marvel Studios has remained silent regarding its X-Mencast, and numerous names have been linked to the reboot over the past year without becoming official.
With San Diego Comic-Con just around the corner, fans may not have to wait much longer to learn who will lead the next generation of Marvel’s mutants. Whether Adam Driver ultimately dons Magneto’s iconic helmet remains to be seen, but if the Hall H rumors prove accurate, the official reveal could be just days away.

Travis Kelce’s Wedding Ad Sparks New Fan Backlash
Fresh off one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year, Travis Kelce is facing a new wave of criticism, this time over a promotional campaign that appeared to capitalize on the couple’s highly publicized nuptials.
While many fans celebrated the playful nod to his marriage to Taylor Swift, others accused the NFL star of turning a deeply personal milestone into a marketing opportunity, igniting a spirited debate across social media.
The debate began after Accelerator Active Energy unveiled a new advertisement featuring Travis Kelce, who serves as both an ambassador and co-owner of the zero-sugar energy drink brand.
Rather than quietly congratulating the NFL star on his marriage, the campaign leaned heavily into the wedding itself.
One image shared on Instagram showed Kelce smiling over his shoulder while holding a can, with the words “Happily. Ever. After,” written above it.
Another featured a vintage red pickup truck decorated with “Just Married” across the back as cans of the beverage trailed behind it, an apparent nod to Kelce and Swift’s wedding at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
The company reinforced the theme in its caption, writing, “The love story continues. CONGRATS @killatrav!!!”

The campaign quickly made its way to Reddit, where critics argued the advertisement blurred the line between celebrating a personal milestone and monetizing it.
Several commenters accused Travis Kelce of turning one of the biggest moments of his personal life into another branding opportunity.
One user remarked, “To anyone who believes this marriage is anything but a business arrangement: I have some beach property in Kansas to sell you.”
Another user with similar sentiments shared, “I feel like I’m being gaslighted when calling out this blatant monetization of an egotistical couple. Please please let them fail with their endeavours.”
Others were far less subtle. “This is embarrassing. This is the stuff you expect off those scummy influencers who post their kids online not from a (what I’m aware, I’m not American) successful sports person married to a A List pop star,” one angry user shared.
Travis Kelce’s Advertisement Sparked A Second Conversation About AI

As criticism mounted, attention shifted away from the wedding references and toward the campaign’s creative execution.
Some Reddit users became convinced parts of the advertisement had been created using artificial intelligence after spotting what they believed were visual inconsistencies throughout the images.
One Reddit user pointed to several details, writing, “Holy AI. I need another New Yorker to confirm that I’m not far off, but if you stand at 34th & 6th, the Empire State Building is that far away, and you wouldn’t see it head on like that, only from the side.”
They also added, “And to be able to see the building and Macy’s at the same time as this picture suggests, Macy’s would have to be on your left hand side.”
Others described the campaign as unsettling rather than innovative, with one person writing, “SUPER weird. Subtle marketing would work so well for them but they rolled out their nuptials in the most obvious, tacky way.”
Kelce Also Found Plenty Of Fans Defending The Campaign

Not everyone saw the advertisement as a misstep. On Instagram, many supporters embraced the campaign as a fun extension of Travis Kelce and Swift’s wedding celebrations, filling the comments with congratulatory messages instead of criticism.
“This ad is so good. Congrats to our beautiful souls, Travis and Taylor,” one fan wrote.
Another commented, “Love me some accelerator and Travis!! Go chiefs and go Taylor!! Ready to stock up!!” while a third added, “Congratulations! Such a beautiful day of celebration for all who love Travis and Taylor!”
A fourth fan also noted, “Ah this is so cute. Congratulations t and t,” while a fifth added, “Congratulations!!!! I am very proud of both y’all fr a love story.”
Travis Kelce And Taylor Swift’s New Companion Delights Fans

Even as debate continues over Kelce’s wedding-themed advertisement, the newlyweds have also given fans something far less controversial to celebrate.
Swift and Kelce reportedly expanded their family by quietly welcoming a fluffy white Samoyed into their home, marking a new chapter in their life together after tying the knot earlier this month.
While many only recently began speculating about the pup after it appeared in a framed wedding photo, sources shared that the couple actually adopted the dog months before saying “I do.”
The pet was recently spotted accompanying Kelce after he stepped off Swift’s private jet in Florida, further fueling excitement among fans.
The addition is especially notable because Swift has long been known as a devoted cat owner to Meredith Grey, Olivia Benson and Benjamin Button, making the Samoyed her first publicly known dog.
