Rosie O’Donnell is sharing the details of her latest visit with her incarcerated daughter, Chelsea O’Donnell, by turning to poetry.

“I arrive early. It’s very hot. I’m wearing shorts. Waiting for her,” O’Donnell, 64, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, June 13, sharing what appears to be a recent photo of the former TV host visiting her daughter in jail.

“In what looks like a children’s nursery room, Disney murals on cement walls. Vending machines. Table 8 — I’m told to sit,” she continued in the caption. “In one of the red chairs. Beige is for the inmate. The guard explained the rules.”

Rosie added, “A hug hello and goodbye only. No money exchanged. Hands above the table. No loud voices. The visit is 4 hours long There r worn out games to play. Scrabble — cards — chutes & ladders. Other families walk in.”

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea O’Donnell checked into prison after violating her probation in a drug case, Us Weekly can exclusively report. Us obtained the mugshot that Chelsea, 28, took on November 18 after entering the Taycheedah Correctional Institution (TCI). In the photo, Chelsea appears stoic with her blue eyes staring directly into the camera. TCI […]

In October 2025, Chelsea was sentenced to serve prison time after allegedly violating the terms of her six-year probation stemming from three back-to-back drug-related arrests. She was first arrested in September 025, on charges of drug possession and child neglect. She was arrested again on October 11, for drugs, and a third time on November 18, also for drugs.

“I have compassion for those struggling with addiction,” Rosie exclusively told Us Weekly at the time, reacting to her daughter’s incarceration. “Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her children. We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.”

As part of her plea deal, Chelsea pleaded guilty to some charges while others were dropped. She was sentenced to 18 months in prison but the sentence was “stayed,” meaning she would only have to serve probation as long as she did not get into any legal trouble for six years. Her probation was revoked after she allegedly failed to adequately attend and complete a drug rehab program and was accused of sexual assault.

She is currently serving her time at the Taycheedah Correctional Institution, a women’s maximum-security prison located in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

On Saturday, Rosie told her many fans and followers that her daughter was “the first thru the door” when she visited her.

“My heart skips a beat. She looks good,” she continued in her poem. “Healthy calm. Rested blue eyes. Clear skin. In her green uniform. We embrace. She smells familiar. Holds on tight. I stare into his eyes. Shy smiles all around. We have been thru so much. We sit — other young women enter. A 4 yr old yells ‘mama.’”

She added, “Running into the open arms of a woman in green who she looks exactly like. This tiny child has been here before. I watch the toddler navigate the candy machine. Reaching into her bag of quarters, grabbing her goodies.”

According to Rosie, all four of Chelsea’s children — three girls and a boy — “have not visited,” which the grandmother says she knows “pains” her daughter.

“I try to stay present as the sky outside blackens, looking ominous,” her poem continued. “I realize I’m sweating. I go splash gold water on my face as tears drop from my eyes. I try to shake the sadness. It’s hard enough for her. She turns 29 this summer, and all I see when I look at her is a blonde baby in diapers.”

“Chelsea slumps in her chair crestfallen — we r rushed out,” she wrote. “A quick hug and I’m back in the car. It storms all the way to the hotel as I try to process all that’s happened. It was a big day for both of us. I conk right out. I sleep for hours. Proud of us both.”

She concluded, “Unconditional love, simply the only way thru motherhood. Love and forgiveness a must. Even when it seems impossible, especially then, we live, we learn, we grow. Even at 64.”

Elizabeth Olsen is stepping into an exciting new chapter. The Marvel actress is expecting her first child with husband Robbie Arnett, marking a major milestone for the famously private couple.

The 37-year-old actress was spotted during a lunch date at All Time restaurant in Los Angeles, where she appeared to gently cradle her stomach while leaving the venue. Though Elizabeth Olsen has yet to publicly comment on the pregnancy, the outing seemingly offered fans a first glimpse at her growing bump.

The pregnancy news was confirmed by PEOPLE on Friday. The actress, best known for portraying Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has largely kept her personal life out of the public eye, including her relationship with musician Robbie Arnett.

Olsen and Arnett reportedly met through mutual friends while vacationing in Mexico in 2017 and made their first public appearance together later that same year.

The couple moved in together in 2018, with engagement rumors beginning to swirl in 2019.

Olsen Quietly Confirmed Secret Marriage To Arnett

Fans began speculating that the pair had secretly tied the knot in 2021 after Olsen casually referred to the Milo Greene musician as her “husband” during an interview.

She later confirmed the marriage in 2022, revealing the two quietly wed before the COVID-19 pandemic. “We eloped and then we had a wedding at another time,” Olsen shared on “The Jess Cagle Show.” “It was before COVID.”

Olsen Previously Reflected On Balancing Motherhood And Career

Long before pregnancy reports surfaced, Olsen openly discussed her hopes for motherhood and the realities of balancing family life with a demanding acting career.

During a 2021 SiriusXM interview, the actress candidly admitted she often thought about the timing of starting a family while navigating Hollywood. “At what point do I get pregnant? At what point do I have my first baby?” she asked at the time. “Is that five years from now? Because then I only have this kind of a window.”

Before finding love with Arnett, Olsen was engaged to her “Very Good Girls” co-star Boyd Holbrook. The former couple ended their relationship in 2014 after dating for three years.

Olsen And Arnett Have Kept Their Relationship Out Of The Spotlight

Part of what has made Olsen and Arnett’s relationship so intriguing to fans is just how private the pair have remained over the years. Despite being married to one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Arnett maintains a relatively low public profile and rarely shares updates on social media, even though he has an active Instagram account.

Olsen, meanwhile, stepped away from social media entirely in 2020 and has made it clear she has no plans to return. Speaking to Glamour UK in April 2021, the actress admitted the pressure of curating an online presence never sat right with her.

“[I thought] Wait, why am I even trying to create a character version of myself and put it out in the world?” Olsen shared, explaining that the experience made her feel “uncomfortable.” “And so during the pandemic I was like, ‘Oh this is just not for me.’ And I just got rid of it.”

Elizabeth Olsen Recently Reflected On Growing Up Alongside Mary-Kate And Ashley

The baby news comes months after Olsen opened up about growing up alongside her famous older sisters, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The twins famously rose to fame as Michelle Tanner on “Full House” before building an entertainment empire and later transitioning into fashion moguls.

While speaking with The Times earlier this year, Olsen described her upbringing as a “chaotic childhood” but emphasized the supportive dynamic within her family. “They were forced to watch all my plays my whole life and go to my dance performances,” she said.

When asked whether her sisters ever offered advice about navigating fame, Olsen admitted, “No. We’re just a supportive family. It feels irrelevant to talk about it after 15 years of working.” “I was the youngest of four. We were all born within five years,” she added.

Olsen is the daughter of Jarnette and David Olsen and grew up alongside siblings James Trent, Mary-Kate, and Ashley before ultimately carving out a Hollywood career of her own.

As Taylor Sheridan continues to oversee the largest and most impressive empire on television, he has already released some of the most popular projects of the year over on Paramount Plus. Sheridan has further expanded the Yellowstone universe with a pair of offshoots, Marshals and Dutton Ranch, but the latter has been met with a much more welcoming reception than the former. Still, both shows return long-time Yellowstone stars like Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton and Cole Hauser as Rip Wheeler, and both have been picked up for new seasons. Sheridan fans were also treated to some good news last week when it was announced that his black ops spy thriller, Lioness, will officially return to streaming this August. The same can’t be said for Landman, which likely won’t air until sometime in 2027.

While Sheridan has become known by most fans these days for his work with the Yellowstone universe and other shows like Tulsa King and Mayor of Kingstown, he began his career with some of the greatest neo-Western thrillers to ever hit the big screen. His debut screenplay came all the way back in 2015 with Sicario, which is still hailed as some of his finest work even to this day. The film stars Josh Brolin and Emily Blunt, and it made quick work of a $30 million budget, grossing nearly $85 million at the global box office. 11 years after Sicario first hit theaters, the film is now available to stream on Hulu for all subscribers, where it has had several stints in the top 10. It’s also a VOD smash on platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV, where it can be rented for as low as $2.99.

What Is ‘Sicario’ About?

The official synopsis for Sicario, which holds scores of 91% from critics and 85% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, reads as follows:

“When idealistic FBI agent Kate Macer uncovers a cartel massacre in Arizona, she’s recruited into a shadowy government task force. Thrust into the lawless borderlands between the U.S. and Mexico, she must navigate a world of moral compromise — where the line between justice and vengeance no longer exists.”

When it comes time to analyze Sicario’s success, it’s hard not to credit Denis Villeneuve, who was the perfect choice to direct Sheridan’s neo-Western script. Villeneuve has also gone on to direct near-perfect sci-fi epics like Arrival and Dune: Part Two, and he’s been tasked with directing the next James Bond movie.

Check out Sicario on Hulu in America, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates and coverage of Taylor Sheridan’s future projects.

The current box office landscape might be obsessed with horror — quite literally, in the case of Curry Barker‘s record-breaking new hit — but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for other genres to reach success. The cozy Sheep Detectives continues to prove a popular hit for families, Masters of the Universe is a wonderfully nostalgic option for those seeking a summer blockbuster, and Antoine Fuqua’s musical biopic, Michael, edges closer to the $900 million mark.

However, the success of some genres seems not to be rubbing off on sci-fi, with the latest entry in the grandest sci-fi franchise of them all, Pedro Pascal‘s The Mandalorian and Grogu, in box office freefall, having dropped to sixth place in the domestic charts on just its third weekend, earning less than 1/8 of its opening haul. Thankfully, as one sci-fi effort fails to impress, another has just reached its biggest milestone yet.

At the time of writing, the video game adaptation sequel The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has officially crossed the billion-dollar mark at the box office. Ten weekends into its theatrical run and about to bow out for good, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has finally become the first billion-dollar movie of 2026. This couldn’t come at a better time for the movie, with a selection of blockbuster names on their way this summer, including Christopher Nolan‘s ambitious epic The Odyssey, Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fifth installment in the beloved Toy Story franchise, the high-flying Supergirl, and much more.

‘The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’ Is Now a Hit at Home

Although it is still just about clinging to box office relevance, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has successfully transitioned into being a hit at home. In the digital charts, via Amazon, the video game adaptation sequel is currently the second-most-watched movie, outperforming the likes of In the Grey, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, Sydney Sweeney’s psychological thriller The Housemaid, the horror gem Hokum, and more. However, it is one of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie‘s biggest box office rivals that has stolen the top spot on the Amazon charts, with Ryan Gosling‘s sci-fi masterpiece Project Hail Mary currently at #1.

You can rent or purchase The Super Mario Galaxy Movie now. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for the latest box office updates.

Tyra Banks just took serving to a whole NEW level. The model and producer has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Netflix following her participation in their ‘Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model’ docuseries.

Tyra Banks Comes For Netflix After ‘ANTM’ Docuseries Release

According to TMZ, Tyra Banks is suing Netflix for defamation. She filed the documents on Saturday, June 13, and alleges that Netflix used only 16 minutes of her over three-hour interview and manipulated the footage to push a false, defamatory narrative. PEOPLE reports that she is now seeking a jury trial to determine the amount of damages she should receive.

“Tyra Banks participated in the Netflix documentary series America’s Next Top Model (‘ANTM’) because she believed viewers deserved a candid conversation about the show’s legacy—its successes and its shortcomings,” the lawsuit reportedly states. “There are aspects of the show for which Ms. Banks takes accountability and she wanted ANTM viewers to hear that from her directly.”

In the suit, Banks also reportedly calls out two partially true statements from Mar Loushy, one of the directors and executive producers of the series. She says Loushy claimed she would have the “opportunity to go really deep into the debates” about ‘ANTM’ and “to share her side of the story.” In another interview, Loushy added, “Ms. Banks was ready to speak, and I think that a lot of her answers were very honest. And it’s all in the show, really.” However, ‘Reality Check’ director Kay Wicker told TheGrio that the documentary was going to happen whether Tyra participated or not.

The Roomies Weigh In On Tyra’s Legal Move Against Netflix

Once The Shade Room spilled the tea about Tyra’s lawsuit, the Roommates didn’t hesitate to weigh in over in the comment section. Plenty of folks said they can’t believe she’s actually suing the network after she made an appearance in it. Peep some of the reactions below.

Instagram user @chantestory wrote, “Did she not sign the contract and answer the questions that were asked? 😂” 

Instagram user @pumpkin.spicyyy wrote, “But…..she participated.” 

While Instagram user @authorjon wrote, “Unpopular opinion… she thought people watching would be on her side and got mad when the world wasn’t.” 

Then Instagram user @girlthats_pj wrote, “Girl we was ALL ROOTING FOR YOU..” 

Another Instagram user @mrcoolbeardguy wrote, “Tyra hit up top dog law get u top dollars 💯🤣”

Instagram user @tessybeee wrote, “Girl, you was in it though 😂😂 huh? Lmao.” 

Then another Instagram user @marsisolis wrote, “Suing a documentary you were apart of is crazy lol.” 

While another Instagram user @lolo_bangzz wrote, “Not she cashed the cheque but now want another cheque with sprinkles on it.. 😩😩🙏🏽” 

Finally, Instagram user @unpopular.dee wrote, “Girl if anything you should be the one that’s being sued 😂😂” 

More About The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ Documentary

The ‘America’s Next Top Model’ documentary took over Netflix when it dropped in February, giving viewers the opportunity to revisit the early days of the show. The series also unpacked topics like cycle 2 contestant Shandi Sullivan’s sexual assault. Sullivan recalled the moment when the models were in Italy and male models came over their house. She consumed alcohol before getting in bed with one of the men, despite having a boyfriend back at home at the time. Sullivan said she blacked out during the incident and later accused the production team of framing it as a cheating scandal instead of assault. When asked about the situation in ‘Reality Check,’ Tyra said she had no involvement in production or the editing of storylines.

Emily Ratajkowski is opening up like never before about the emotional fallout of her divorce, her fears surrounding single motherhood, and the dating phase that followed, which she now describes as an intentional reinvention of herself.

In a candid new essay, the model and actress reflected on the collapse of her marriage to ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard and the whirlwind romantic chapter that followed, during which she was linked to everyone from Harry Styles and Pete Davidson to DJ Orazio Rispo and Eric Andre.

Emily Ratajkowski also made a shocking confession about her sex life following the split, admitting she set out to transform herself after years of trying to fit into what she believed men wanted.

Ratajkowski and Bear-McClard tied the knot during a courthouse wedding in 2018 and welcomed son Sylvester Apollo Bear in March 2021. But according to the 35-year-old, cracks in the relationship began appearing shortly after becoming parents.

In the essay for The Cut, she wrote that “in a time period that felt both instant and excruciatingly slow, my marriage collapsed. Six months after my son was born, my husband and I stopped having sex. Less than a year later, we separated.”

The pair officially split in 2022 amid rumors surrounding Bear-McClard’s alleged infidelity. Ratajkowski appeared to fuel speculation herself after reportedly liking a tweet that read, “can’t believe that little b-tch cheated on emrata.”

Bear-McClard, a film producer known for collaborating with the Safdie brothers and producing projects including “Uncut Gems,” later found himself facing controversy of his own. In March 2023, reports surfaced that he had faced “grooming” allegations and was fired from the Safdie brothers’ production company, Elara Pictures.

At the same time, he was reportedly navigating mediation with the Safdies, in addition to divorce proceedings and a custody battle with Ratajkowski.

Ratajkowski Says She Hated Being Pitied After Her Divorce

While navigating the public unraveling of her marriage, Ratajkowski admitted one of the hardest parts was how people viewed her after the breakup.

“I hated the condescending way people looked at me in the wake of my breakup. Their furrowed brows, the pity in their faces as they delivered an ‘I’m so sorry, Emily,’” she confessed. “I couldn’t stand my pathetic reflection in their eyes. They saw me as someone who was unwanted, who had been left. A reject with the burden of a needy, hungry, two-foot-tall sidekick.”

The actress revealed she had long feared becoming a “single mom,” writing that the idea had terrified her since childhood because she associated it with having “no freedom, no choices, no emergency exit.” But when she unexpectedly found herself living the reality she once feared, Ratajkowski said she reinvented herself into someone entirely different.

Emily Ratajkowski Admits She Wanted To Replace The ‘Madonna’ With A ‘Wh-re’

Following her split, Ratajkowski entered what she described as a period of “compulsively dating,” adopting what she framed as a villain-like persona in an effort to regain control.

“The character I’d learned to embody after my divorce, in my period of compulsively dating, was a villain: Poison Ivy. Catwoman. Sexual but scary. And she drank gin martinis. Many, many gin martinis,” she wrote. “She was not tragic. Nothing close to a victim. No one needed to feel sorry for her. In fact, they should all be jealous.”

The “I Feel Pretty” actress admitted her post-divorce phase marked a dramatic departure from how she previously approached relationships. Before her marriage ended, she said she had only slept with “eight people,” all of whom she was “pretty sure would fall in love with me, because I wanted to feel precious.”

She reflected on long-held beliefs surrounding relationships and intimacy, explaining she once believed men “didn’t fall in love with, want forever with, raise babies with, or take care of sl-ts.”

Eventually, however, she said she decided to embrace an entirely different version of herself. “I decided to f-ck my way into a new kind of woman. I wanted to destroy the Madonna, the special girl I’d worked so hard to be before an eight-pound baby had torn my v-gina in two, and replace her with the wh-re,” Ratajkowski wrote.

Ratajkowski Shares Explicit Details About Her Dating Life

The model also offered readers an unfiltered look into her dating experiences following the divorce, including one particularly explicit encounter with a man she described as having a “nasally stoner voice” and wearing “bright hoodies” with “obnoxious gold jewelry” that made him resemble a “walking, talking Myspace page.”

After returning to his apartment, Ratajkowski admitted she “found myself on my knees in front of him” and felt “especially satisfied by his expression when he looked down at me.” “He couldn’t believe I was putting his d-ck in my mouth. He told me I looked like Cleopatra when I gave head. I’d found everything I’d come there for, a praying mantis devouring her mate,” she wrote.

Her first post-divorce date, however, apparently went far less smoothly. According to Ratajkowski, she went out with a sober DJ who lived near what had once been her marital home. She claimed the man bizarrely opened the date by explaining incest “actually runs in my family,” before sharing a story involving his mother and sister walking in on him masturbating to p-rn he described as “some sibling sh-t.”

“That was my introduction to the dating scene. I didn’t f-ck him, okay?” she wrote, later acknowledging he was “an anomaly.”

Emily Ratajkowski Reveals Surprising Discovery About Men After Becoming A Mom

She also described one fling with an “Elder Millennial” her friends called “ugly,” explaining she tolerated his “dirty talk” because she enjoyed the confidence boost of being wanted more than she wanted him.

Ratajkowski further revealed that she came to believe “many men are turned on by motherhood” because they had “experienced the loneliness that comes with years of selfishness” and were “attracted” to “self-sacrifice.”

“Did they want me as their mommy? Maybe,” she added.

Now, through her essay, Ratajkowski appears to finally be reclaiming the narrative around one of the most scrutinized chapters of her personal life.

On Thursday (June 11), Deiondra Sanders was trending after her apparent reaction to what Jacquees said about their past. In a conversation with Jordyn Lucas, the R&B singer admitted that his heart wasn’t fully over Dreezy when he began dating Deiondra. Sanders later seemed to address the interview, making subtle references to him and Dreezy.

In the days since, her supporters have continued to flood her comment section with compassion.  And while Deiondra’s gone silent, Dreezy appeared to drop some subliminals of her own following her ex-boyfriend’s interview.

Deiondra Sanders Ends Tweet Session About Jacquees With Vulnerable Posts

Four tweets on Thursday (June 11) had all eyes on Deiondra Sanders’ X account. The first tweet that day was about her and Jacquees’ son, Snow, growing up and learning “the truth for himself.” About 12 hours later, she circled back and shared a more pointed message that still didn’t explicitly name her ex. She wrote of people reminding her she could’ve had anybody, but clarified that she doesn’t use money to determine who she should date. “The truth is, I fell in love and was sold a dream, later to find out I was just a rebound,” Deiondra wrote. Her third tweet spoke of ignoring warnings about Jacquees, then seemed to reference a Dreezy song. That post got over 1.2 million views.

“I was so in love that I ignored every warning. My family tried to tell me. Even his ex tried to tell me. Matter of fact, she made a whole song about it, and I still convinced myself that what we had was real. I just feel hurt, disappointed, and honestly, I need some time. 💔”

Meanwhile, her final tweet read, “I take full accountability.” She hasn’t shared an X post since. The four-described tweets came as Jacquees was going viral for speaking openly about his love life in recent years. He and Deiondra have had public spats about coparenting, including as recently as a few weeks ago. And two years ago, his ex-GF Dreezy exposed Deiondra’s pregnancy and claimed that he was still on her line. In the Jordyn Lucas livestream this week, Jac admitted that he had convinced his mind he was over Dreezy, but not his heart. He also said his dream of being a dad “happened fast” with Deiondra and he thought he was doing the right thing by leaning into it.

“One thing I don’t regret is my son cause he’s everything. He my whole world, but I just want everyone to be in the world and be respected. I want Deiondra to be able to go places and people give her the respect she deserves, start businesses, provide for our son, be a great mother cause she is. I want Dreezy to be able to go in her career, do what she do,” Jacquees told Jordyn Lucas.

As previously reported, he proposed to Deiondra at their baby shower in July 2024. Early 2025, Sanders openly accused Dej Loaf of sparking distance in her engagement.

Supporters Flood Deiondra With Uplifting Messages

While Deiondra Sanders has ceased tweeting, she’s continued to share unrelated content on her Instagram Stories. Her IG feed also hasn’t had any updated content since June 7, which were photos of herself, smiling while holding a mug. It appears to be FashionNova promo, but the content type didn’t stop Deiondra’s supporters from flooding the comment section with love. Some fans even penned lengthy paragraphs encouraging Sanders to continue pushing forward!

@lurrraaasss said, “Hey girl, you’re making such great progress on your PP journey. Your feelings are completely valid & it’s ok to feel how you feel. & knowing your triggers can make a big difference (even if your bd is 1 of them).

“You have the right to express your feelings. Just keep going, this too shall pass. Trust it will. Your village loves you. Thank God for a father like yours, listen to him.💜💜💜,” @rawnie_mamba said.

@stellymagic commented, “@deiondrasanders, Beautiful as usual. Please know that you have a village, not just your family, but supporters that love you, your vulnerability & realness. All we can do in this life is keep striving to be better. No one is perfect, or has it all figured out. #TeamDeiondra is here always rooting for you.

“We love you girl, keep your head up & held high. This to shall pass ❤️,” @vickyfcknb wrote.

“💕💫 such a beautiful girl! I’m wish you nothing but peace and healing,” @theeprettiestgal_ added.

“Don’t get caught up in the rude and vile opinions of people whom haven’t walked a day in your shoes regardless of how you decide to vent and let your pain out. You’re a human being who does not deserve the public embarrassment even if it’s someone else’s truth.

Another IG post of Deiondra’s is also flooded with similar messages that supporters shared in the the last two days. She shared the pinned post on June 4. It shows photos of Sanders with her son, Snow.

“It’s time to turn the pain into purpose. There’s a community of women who have experienced it and God used it for His Glory. You have a stage, use it well to bring others to Christ. The same stage that others saw your pain, can be used to showcase your purpose. Let’s go!

Did Dreezy Also Respond To Jacquees’ Comments?

After going viral by speaking on Deiondra Sanders and Dreezy, Jacquees has seemingly kept it pushing. He expressed in that chat that he’s at a peaceful place in life and desires to be away from drama. Sanders, as we’ve seen, had plenty to get off her chest! Meanwhile, Dreezy hasn’t directly addressed her ex-man. However, a number of tweets that began on the day of the livestream, June 10, turned a few heads! For example, in one June 10 tweet she wrote, “Protecting my peace at all costs.” A few hours later, Dreezy wrote, “I’m not out here playing victim for sympathy, so I’ll hardly get my flowers. But time will tell.” 

I’m not out here playin victim for sympathy, so I hardly get my flowers. But time will tell.

Later she retweeted a post from June 11 that reads, “Real power is knowing when to wrap it up and bow out gracefully.” Then, on June 12, she wrote about being a real girls’ girl.

Everybody wanna be a girls girl til it’s actually time to be a real bitch.

Her most recent post, on Saturday, was a selfie she posted on Instagram Stories. She captioned it “no lash kinda day.” Her IG feed hasn’t been updated since June 6, when she shared a recap of her attendance at Hollywood Unlocked’s Impact Awards.

No actor was bigger in the 1980s and early 90s than Arnold Schwarzenegger. Movies like The Terminator, Commando, The Running Man, and Total Recall made him the king of action movies. One of his best films is the 1987 sci-fi horror classic Predator. Directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard, Last Action Hero), Predator is the quintessential 80s action thriller, complete with cool characters, bulging muscles, unforgettable one-liners, and a terrifying monster. How it’s remembered today almost didn’t happen. When 20th Century Fox came to Schwarzenegger with an unusual script request, the actor refused. If he hadn’t, the change would have completely altered Predator and ruined both its hero and villain.

Studio Executives Wanted Arnold Schwarzenegger to Have a Love Interest in ‘Predator’

By 1987, the 40-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger had already established himself as the top action hero. However, following the huge success of The Terminator, the future California governor made a string of mediocre movies. Then came Predator. In the film, Schwarzenegger plays Dutch Schaefer, a mercenary who takes his team into the jungles of Central America, where they discover a villain worse than any gun-toting bad guy. Waiting for them is an alien being who has come to Earth to hunt human beings. One by one, Dutch’s team is taken out until only he and one survivor, a captured guerrilla named Anna (Elpidia Carrillo), remain. Anna doesn’t have a huge role in Predator, but if 20th Century Fox had gotten their way, her part would have been a disaster.

Decades ago, during an interview on The Arsenio Hall Show, Schwarzenegger told the talk show host about how studios often came to him and requested that he put a love interest in his films. The actor was against the idea “to throw a woman in just for the sake of having in to sell a few extra tickets.” This even happened during the shooting of Predator. Schwarzenegger told the studio executive who called him:

“So, I say, how do you expect me to do that? You know, here I am running through the jungle. The ten guys, ten of my soldier friends, are getting killed by this Predator that’s chasing us down, and he’s about to kill me. Do you want me to say to the girl, ‘Let’s go around the bush and have a little nookie here’?”

Arnold explained to the exec that such a scenario wouldn’t work. After the explanation, the caller agreed, telling the actor, “I guess you have a point.” With that, the preposterous idea was dropped.

Giving Dutch a Love Interest Would Have Ruined Dutch’s Character

Predator works by using the tropes of action movies and doing something more. Dutch is the epitome of cool. He’s all testosterone, as are the men in his crew, like Al Dillon (Carl Weathers) and Blain Cooper (Jesse Ventura). Predator gives us what we expect. The scene of Dutch and Dillon grasping arms, their biceps bulging, could come out of any Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone action flick of the era. There are a plethora of one-liners fans still quote today, and more guns than you can count. But as soon as the alien shows up, the switch is flipped, and a simple, high-octane action plot turns into sci-fi horror. After that, there is no time to stop or even slow down. A sophisticated alien with advanced technology is on their heels.

A love interest would have ruined Predator on multiple levels. It would have severely hurt the Dutch character. Next to his role in the Terminator franchise, Dutch is arguably Schwarzenegger’s most famous part. This is because the protagonist is badass and all business. He’s not only strong physically, but he’s also smarter than everyone else. This is what allows him to win in the end. If Dutch, out of nowhere, decided to let his hormones take over while he’s being pursued by an alien, it would have shown that the character isn’t so smart after all, and would put his and Anna’s lives on the line simply to get laid. Dutch is memorable because he only has one thing on his mind: his and Anna’s survival. Anything else, and he becomes the opposite of the hero the plot requires.

Even worse is what a love interest subplot would have done to the alien antagonist. Played by the 7’2″ Kevin Peter Hall, and designed by Stan Winston, the Predator is one of the most uniquely terrifying villains in sci-fi horror history, even before the mask comes off. The creature is immensely intimidating, and it’s going to take an incredible effort to defeat its superior strength and technology. If Dutch and Anna stop running away from it to have sex in the bushes, they’re telling the audience the alien is not that big of a threat. If they don’t care, why should we?

Thankfully, Schwarzenegger doesn’t just make movies to get rich and be a star. He truly cares about the script and the art of filmmaking. If he were a yes man who did whatever he was told for a paycheck, Predator wouldn’t be the classic it is today, and an entire franchise may never have happened. At the same time, his name already carried so much weight in 1987 that 20th Century Fox easily gave in when he stood up to them. In the end, Predator succeeds because of its relentless action and horror. Dutch is the perfect 80s hero being hunted down by the perfect villain. All that matters is killing the monster and saving the day, nothing more.

In a genre near overflowing with dystopian futures, time-bending experiments, and galaxy-spanning epics, it’s easy for a few of them to get lost in the mainstream hype of it all. Most dedicated fans of science fiction may think they’ve seen everything, but in truth, they’ve likely missed quite a few hidden gems. From shows cancelled far too soon to others that were just too ahead of their time during their run, the sci-fi genre’s endless realm is packed full of underappreciated stories that do the same (and sometimes more) than most mainstream watches.

Shows like the one-season wonder FlashForward and even the stunningly brilliant anime series like Astra Lost in Space are both hidden gems that have often been overlooked or simply missed by most sci-fi lovers. Uncovered on this list are some of the most captivating series in the genre — stories that deserve to be seen by all sci-fi diehard fans.

‘Planetes’ (2003–2004)

Planetes is a Japanese-animated series that most sci-fi fans — especially those not entrenched in the realm of anime — likely have never seen. The series is set in the year 2075 and follows Ai Tanabe (Ai Kakuma), a new recruit to a team of space debris collectors, and her more closed-off colleague, Hachirota “Hachimaki” Hoshino (Johnny Yong Bosch), as they chase their personal dreams and perform debris EVA missions.

Planetes has the special ability of making the mundane of humanity’s day-to-day seem extremely compelling. The show doesn’t feature big space battles or any alien creatures, but instead focuses on mankind’s struggle, growth, and tenacity. Quite often, the show is lauded as the best in the sci-fi genre, but it is unfortunately frequently overlooked by Western sci-fi fans. For those sci-fi diehards who haven’t yet opened their world to the vast universe of anime, Planetes definitely stands as a solid opener — especially since popular dramas like The Expanse exist. The anime series continues to be an extremely thoughtful and grounded portrayal of human ambition and space travel far ahead of its time.

‘Beforeigners’ (2019–2021)

This Norwegian series takes a fresh approach to the time-travel and buddy-cop trope sci-fi fans are used to. Beforeigners centers around people of past eras — from medieval Vikings and Stone Age folks, to 19th-century Victorians — who suddenly begin to appear in the present day.

Beforeigners wields a brilliant sci-fi premise, which features multiple clashes of culture that lead to both poignant and darkly funny circumstances. The series delivers an entertaining and truly captivating crime drama with a time-travel twist that explores heavy themes like integration, immigration, and identity. Despite its unique qualities, it’s a series that stands criminally underrated. Many diehard science fiction fans have likely never seen the series due to its international status. This is a true misfortune, as Beforeigners is an excellent watch that skillfully blends speculative fiction social commentary with neo-noir mystery, making for an inventive sci-fi series.

‘FlashForward’ (2009–2010)

FlashForward is a one-season sci-fi drama that wields an irresistible premise. The captivating series kicks off after every single person on earth blacks out for exactly 137 seconds, where they see visions of their life six months into the future. The story primarily focuses on Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes), an FBI agent who, in his flashforward, saw clues to the cause of the global blackout.

Wielding an intricately woven narrative, FlashForward delivers a great series for sci-fi fans. Each episode is a new layer to the mystery and character connections, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats. Despite featuring relatable characters and a compelling sci-fi twist, FlashForward unfortunately fell victim to failing ratings, ending its single season on a heart-pounding cliffhanger. Fans of the sci-fi genre have likely skipped the series due to talk of its unresolved ending or have simply missed it due to the show being aired during a crowded TV season. Despite its abrupt end, Flashforward is still 22 episodes long with an imaginative sci-fi plot worth diving into.

‘Real Humans’ (2012–2014)

This Swedish series is one of the first to do societal change and artificial intelligence, years before shows like Humans and Westworld came on the scene. The series Äkta människor, or Real Humans, is set in an alternate-present Sweden, where human-like androids known as “hubots” have become common household commodities. With an interwoven story that follows multiple perspectives, the series centers around a suburban family who find themselves with a hubot named Anita (Lisette Pagler), who is much more than she appears, and a group of rogue, self-aware hubots fighting for their freedom and identity.

Real Humans effectively grounds its sci-fi concepts in everyday life by focusing on the personal stories of its characters. The series’ greatest highlight is its emotional depth and subtlety as it explores family, prejudice, and the definition of consciousness. Those outside of Sweden have sadly missed the series due to Real Humans not having been widely streamed. Audiences instead found the series’ English remake, Humans on AMC, which, while great, didn’t wield many of the extraordinary qualities that its original did. Diehard sci-fi fans should definitely take a peek at Real Humans, as it stands as a thought-provoking must-watch.

‘ReGenesis’ (2004–2008)

This Canadian series explored the world of bioterrorism and cutting-edge science with uncanny foresight. ReGenesis premiered in 2004 and follows David Sandström (Peter Outerbridge), a molecular biologist, who is the extraordinarily brilliant but incredibly reckless head of a fictional agency called NorBAC — North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission.

ReGenesis is host to many hauntingly prescient scenarios that feel extremely relevant today. The series was ahead of its time and, during its run, quickly distinguished itself with its refusal to dumb down much of its complex scientific concepts. The show’s characters are well-drawn and relatable, while its story balances high-stakes labwork with everyday personal affairs. Despite ReGenesis being a high-quality sci-fi series, it was never really seen outside of Canada. ReGenesis may not have been widely known internationally, but it absolutely stands as a sci-fi show perfect for fans of series like The X-Files or Fringe, both of which are extremely science-driven.

‘Almost Human’ (2013–2014)

Almost Human was a refreshing mix of cyberpunk flair and buddy-cop action when it first premiered back in 2013. The series, set in 2048, centers around John Kennex (Karl Urban), a grizzled detective who returns to the force after a traumatic injury and is unwillingly paired with a new partner: an android named Dorian (Michael Ealy).

Almost Human is a compelling crime drama that wields plenty of heart. Ealy and Urban deliver standout performances that remain among some of the show’s most memorable moments, while the production boasts a strong pedigree. Unfortunately, despite the show’s great potential, Fox aired episodes out of order, which eventually led to the series’ cancellation. Many sci-fi lovers didn’t get to see the show due to poor handling and its short run. Despite all its setbacks, Almost Human is worth taking a chance on, especially for those who adore sci-fi action and buddy-cop humor.

‘Astra Lost in Space’ (2019)

When it comes to space adventures, even up against most live-action series, Astra Lost in Space is capable of holding its own in terms of sci-fi brilliance and overall captivating storytelling. The series is set in the year 2063 and centers on a group of students on a routine school trip to another planet — but something unexpected occurs. The group encounters a mysterious Sphere that takes the teens and transports them thousands of light-years away, forcing them to find their way back home.

Astra Lost in Space is an anime series packed with breathtaking visuals, mystery, and a moving emotional depth. It’s a heartfelt sci-fi stand-out with various twists and turns that feel like a meeting between Star Trek: The Next Generation and Lord of the Flies. Astra Lost in Space is not only a criminally underrated anime gem — it’s an outrageously underrated sci-fi series, period. It’s a heartfelt story that features themes of survival, belonging, and found family. The series is a true adventure for viewers who become heavily invested in its story, due to the strong sense of belonging it creates with its lovable cast of characters. While the series has never gotten the viewership it deserves and remains overlooked by anime fans and sci-fi enthusiasts alike, Astra Lost in Space still counts as an incredible must-watch that’s capable of enrapturing any sci-fi lover.

‘Sense8’ (2015–2018)

This series wields a cult following unlike any other. Sense8 follows eight perfect strangers across the globe who unexpectedly become emotionally and mentally linked to one another. With a threat cornering the group, they must work together to defeat the odds and save the day, all the while growing closer and becoming the family none of them could have ever hoped for.

Sense8 may host a brilliant plot that features diversity, representation, and a sci-fi story worth talking about, but its viewership still didn’t stand up to most mainstream science fiction shows. The compelling series even faced cancellation, but the few diehard sci-fi fans who found themselves in love with the show were thankfully able to persuade the showrunners to give them a solid conclusion. As time passes, the already underwatched show has continued to fade into obscurity. But with its bold exploration of identity, love, sexuality, gender, and politics, Sense8 stands as a one-of-a-kind viewing experience that is an absolute must-watch for all sci-fi diehards.
