Queen Latifah, Eboni Nichols & Rebel Take Over Red Carpet
As mentioned, Latifah and her tribe graced the red carpet at the American Music Awards on Monday (May 25). She wore a faux-fur coat designed by Christian Siriano in colors light silver and white. Underneath the coat, she wore a beige-looking dress paired with jewelry by Marco Bicego, per InStyle. Meanwhile, according to HelloBeautiful, Eboni Nichols wore an emerald-green Thom Browne ‘fit featuring a cropped jacket and fitted dress. Rebel also ate and left no crumbs on the AMAs red carpet, wearing a black-and-white tuxedo with shorts. Kaavia James, the daughter of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, also joined Queen Latifah, Eboni and Rebel on the red carpet.


Social Media Gagged At Latifah Being A MUVA
On X (formerly Twitter), select fans were in disbelief about Queen Latifah’s home life! While some were gagged at her having a longtime female partner, others claimed to have known about the actress’ love preference. But the most shocking part of the red carpet appearance seemed to be Rebel poppin’ in. One tweet from @tyrisprint quoted a photo of Queen Latifah and Rebel, writing, “I’M SORRY??? WHEN WAS SHE EVER PREGNANT-.” The comment has garnered over 4.1 million views, over 615 comments and more than 50,000 likes.

To clarify, Rebel was reportedly born in 2019, though the manner through which he was conceived or who birth him is unclear. He appears to be about six years old. However, it wasn’t until 2021 when Queen Latifah publicly shouted out her son and her “love” Eboni Nichols while accepting her BET Lifetime Achievement Award. Also, Rebel’s appearance at the AMAs marks his first major red carpet with both of his parents.

Earlier this year, in February, Rebel was also spotted court side with his moms at the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles. Fast-forward to May. Queen Latifah opened up in an interview with Entertainment Tonight about how motherhood forces forward thinking and movement. She expressed gratitude for her village and expressed the importance of having them.
“It’s a challenge. Everything gets real. Priorities change too. You know, you realize what’s really important and who’s really important,” Latifah said. “And it’s tougher on other people, because when you get an actual baby, the grown people you treat like babies have to grow up, cause sorry, you can’t get that.
What Do We Know About The Actress & Eboni Nichols?
To this day, Queen Latifah and Eboni Nichols have not confirmed whether they’re officially married. Most major entertainment outlets have referred to them as each other’s partner. Reports from InStyle to Vogue have linked them together for at least a decade after meeting on set of either on the 2007 film ‘Hairspray’ or ‘Dancing with the Stars’ in 2009.


While her partner is an icon in the Black community and entertainment industry, Eboni Nichols isn’t some slouch! She’s reportedly, per PEOPLE, a professional dancer and choreographer who’s been showing off her moves since she was 7 years old. Additionally, Eboni has worked with top performers like Beyoncé, Usher, Snoop Dogg and Rihanna. And her talents has reached beyond live music performances to television and film, racking up credits on creative works like, ‘Jane the Virgin’ and ‘Girls Trip,’ which Queen Latifah featured in.

Joey Graziadei and Kelsey Anderson’s Relationship Timeline

Joey Graziadei handed out his coveted final rose to Kelsey Anderson on The Bachelor season 28.
While their relationship seemed steady throughout the show, which premiered in January 2024, it hit a slight speed bump during fantasy suite week when Kelsey left an ominous note card that read, “We need to talk.”
The message led the tennis pro to spiral into thinking she would quit, but she ultimately just wanted to reiterate her feelings for Joey. While his shaken reaction made her fearful that he’d send her packing, he gave her a rose.
The couple got engaged during the season finale on the beaches of Tulum, Mexico, after runner-up Daisy Kent quit the show. “I have known for a while that I’ve wanted to have a beautiful life, but I truly didn’t know how beautiful that life could be until I met you,” he told Kelsey as he got down on one knee.
Scroll down for more of Joey and Kelsey’s relationship timeline:
1st Night
When Kelsey stepped out of the limo on the season premiere, she paid homage to her New Orleans roots by showing up with a voodoo doll. After she kissed the doll, Joey pretended that he felt it too.

1st One-on-One Date
Kelsey received her first one-on-one date in Marbella, Spain, where he picked her up on a Vespa and had his so-called Lizzie McGuire moment. During the night portion of the date, Kelsey candidly shared that her mom died in 2018 after a battle with breast cancer.
2nd One-on-One Date
Kelsey received a second one-on-one date in Jasper, Canada, where the pair participated in the polar plunge. Joey later admitted exclusively to Us Weekly that he knew he was falling in love with Kelsey during the date.
“It was really after our second one-on-one in Jasper, how just great that day was, how much we were starting to continue to see things move forward and not take any steps back. That was when I kind of truly knew that I was falling in love with her,” Joey said. “But as always, it’s a feeling — it takes time for you to feel comfortable to share those words and there needs to be the right space and you need to think everything through.”

Meeting Kelsey’s Family
For Kelsey’s hometown date, the couple traveled to New Orleans, where they explored the city and ate beignets before meeting her family.
“My feelings for her are real and they do make sense. I’m extremely hopeful, I really am,” Joey told Kelsey’s dad, Mark Anderson, during the episode. Kelsey, for her part, admitted in a confessional that she wanted to “blurt that I love him.”
Fantasy Suite
Viewers watched Kelsey drop the L-word to Joey during their fantasy suite date to which Joey replied, “I’m falling in love with you, fully.”
After spending the day and night together, they woke up and cooked breakfast in their pajamas. Despite their date going well, Kelsey left Joey the “We need to talk” note while he was in the fantasy suite with Daisy.
Kelsey and Joey later had a conversation, where she expressed her feelings to him again.
“We made a promise to each other about, like, you know, being honest to each other about communicating our feelings and communication in general,” Kelsey said. “And I know how important all that is. I just wanted you to know exactly how I feel about it all. I just really wanted to verbalize that it’s hard not seeing you and the days in between are always so hard. All these feelings of, like, missing [you] and wondering. … I just want to tell you how much I miss you when you aren’t there.”

Proposal
After Daisy knew it wasn’t her at the final rose ceremony, Joey popped the question to Kelsey during the season finale.
“I know there’s a lot of tough decisions through this journey, and that’s what makes today really difficult. But there is nothing difficult about choosing you. And I can’t wait another minute to tell you that I love you,” Joey said during his proposal speech. “There is something about you. You have this infectious energy that makes me smile. It’s a feeling I’ve never had before. I know during this time that we’ve built a very strong flame and the only reason I know that flame will never go out is because you’re my light.”
After the Final Rose
During the live After the Final Rose, Joey admitted that they had “difficult” moments watching the show back, but are still going strong.
“It’s been great in a lot of ways, but we won’t lie it’s been difficult too,” Joey said during the March 2024 episode. “I think a lot of people forget how difficult of a position she’s is into watch all this back with everyone else and understand that I’m trying to figure out everything from the point that we were at, at that time. But we have grown so much since then.”
Kelsey revealed that she and Joey planned to reside in New Orleans before moving to New York in summer 2024.
Finding Love With Kelsey
One day after the finale aired, Joey gushed over his journey to find love, and his fiancée, in a sweet social media post.
“Just checking in as the luckiest guy in the world,” he wrote via Instagram alongside a carousel of snaps of the pair. “What a beautiful ending to such an amazing experience. All of this started back in January of 2023, when I received a DM from a Producer on the Bachelor who asked me if I’d be interested in going on a Reality TV Show to find love. I questioned if it would be for me, if it could actually work, if it was the right atmosphere for me to find a true love.”
He continued, “I now sit here today knowing that it was hands down the best decision of my life. Everything that has happened since that day has led me to this remarkable woman that is unlike anyone I have met in my life. She is kind, beautiful, goofy, original, authentic, and my bright light. I always knew I wanted to have a beautiful life, I just didn’t know how beautiful it could be until I met you. I love you forever Kelsey. This is only the beginning 💚.”
Kelsey, for her part, shared a tribute to Joey in a separate upload the following day.
In the Instagram message, Kelsey shared that by the end of the show she “knew who [Joey] was at his core.” She added, “Maybe not how his first tooth fell out but I knew the kind of husband, father and friend he would be.”
“After fantasy suites, Dez (my producer & now friend) asked me what loving Joey felt like,” she recalled. “I said it feels like a perfect day, when the sun is out, the clouds are fluffy, when it’s not too cold or too hot and everything just feels right! Joey, loving you is effortless like a beautiful sunny day. I feel so thankful all for all of the crazy choices we both have made in life that lead us to each other. I love you so big, my sweet boy. Thank you for being my best friend above all. Now let’s go live our life! 😚.”
Their Living Arrangements
Joey and Kelsey revealed their living arrangements — which includes two other women — in a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home in New Orleans.
“He was just living with his sister, so I was like, ‘You can move in with me.’ I have a very big room, and my roommates were all in,” Kelsey recalled on a June 2024 episode of the “Trading Secrets” podcast. “They’re like, ‘We can’t wait to get to know Joey,’ and it’s kinda like a New Girl situation.”
Joey agreed, adding, “Yeah. I’m on a, like, comedy sketch right now. I feel like I’m full-on in a New Girl situation. There’s three girls and one Joey. I’m just, like, sitting there in the middle of the hallway.”
They both agreed the arrangement is a “strategic” move for the sake of their relationship. “And I knew that regardless of what was going to happen, my life was going to have to change and go somewhere else,” Joey said.

Plans for Having Kids
During a June 2024 appearance on the “Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour” podcast, Joey and Kelsey revealed they are on the same page about having kids.
“I think one of the first big things I told him was that I really wanted to adopt and that was a non-negotiable for me,” Kelsey recalled. “So, if he wasn’t open to that, then I couldn’t be here.”
1 Year and Still Going Strong
“Happy One-Year Anniversary to My Everything … I still cannot believe that it has been a year since I got down on one knee and asked you to marry me,” Joey wrote via Instagram in November 2024. “This is another appreciation post for everything you do. The laughs, the love, the support, the joy and the excitement. Every day with you is an adventure and I cannot wait to see all of the memories we get to create in the years to come.”
Joey shared photos of Kelsey supporting him on Dancing With the Stars week after week in honor of their special day. “I know sitting and anxiously watching me dance on live TV probably wasn’t how you thought we’d spend our first anniversary, but I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your support,” he continued. “I couldn’t do this without you, so thank you for always being my biggest fan through this amazing experience. I love you forever ❤️.”
Kelsey shared her own Instagram tribute to Joey in celebration of their first year together. “Happy anniversary to the man of my dreams,” she wrote. “A man who is patient, kind, and always gives 1000% in everything he does. I’m so grateful for your love, your support, and the way you make every day brighter.”

Home Sweet Hollywood
After initially relocating to Los Angeles to compete on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, Joey announced in November 2024 that the couple are settling down in the area.
“I’m excited to take this version of a routine that I’ve created with Dancing and then build it into my own. I’m excited to see what’s gonna possibly [be] next for me,” he said during an appearance on the “Lightweights” podcast. “I’m really excited, we’ve decided to stay in L.A. I’m excited to build a home together. We got an apartment. I cannot wait to make it feel like something that’s really ours.”
A 2nd Proposal
During a romantic vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Joey proposed to Kelsey once again.
“SHE SAID YES (again) 💍,” Joey wrote via Instagram on May 26, 2026 as his leading lady sported bling, including Coeur de Lion jewelry. “Proposing again meant taking something that was already extraordinary and making it fully our own. It means the world to be able to reaffirm our promise and love to one another just the two of us. Forever isn’t enough with you. I cannot wait to make you my wife.”

Cynthia Erivo Addresses Being Called Ariana Grande’s ‘Bodyguard’
Cynthia Erivo is getting candid about the public’s perception of her relationship with Ariana Grande.
Erivo and Grande captured attention after starring as besties in “Wicked.” Beyond their on-screen chemistry, fans became fixated on how close the pair appeared during interviews, often leaning on each other and holding hands at press events.
Their interactions quickly fueled online speculation, and while Erivo has addressed the chatter before, she is now speaking more directly about how she was judged because of her appearance.

In a recent interview, Erivo opened up about the scrutiny surrounding her close bond with Ariana Grande and the way public perception has shaped commentary on her appearance.
Erivo recalled the reaction after she stepped in to protect Grande when a stranger tried to grab her during the Singapore premiere of “Wicked.”
Several memes and TikTok videos depicted her as Grande’s “bodyguard” following the incident. Speaking about the situation, Erivo told Variety, “I think that we haven’t really come to terms with the insidious nature of how we view Black women.”
She acknowledged that some people may disagree with her perspective, but maintained that the criticism clearly centered on her looks as a woman of color.
“Because that’s what was being made fun of. It was my physique; it was my shape; it was the fact that I was bald; it was about what I looked like,” the London- born star explained.
According to the “Harriet” star, many immediately painted her as the protective one because of those stereotypes. The “Widows” star also reflected on the assumptions people made about her friendship with Grande, calling out those who believed they could define the pair’s relationship from the outside.
The actress noted that many people seemed unwilling to accept that their connection was genuine. “I think that people didn’t really believe that we were actually friends,” Erivo shared, adding that the two still speak nearly every day.
Cynthia Erivo Previously Denied Romance Rumors With Ariana Grande

This is not the first time Erivo has clarified the nature of her connection with Grande. Earlier this year, she shut down rumors suggesting their friendship was romantic.
As The Blast reported, Erivo explained that many people struggled to believe two women could be very close without being romantically involved and that they were probably faking it.
Erivo pointed out that the confusion likely came from how deep female friendships are rarely shown or discussed in public spaces. She noted that while such connections are common in real life, they don’t often get attention on screen or in mainstream conversations.

As the actresses promoted the hit musical adaptation, their affectionate interactions became a major talking point online. Some critics even speculated that their behavior may have hurt their Oscar chances, as neither got any nominations.
According to The Blast, one anonymous Academy voter claimed that the outcome wasn’t surprising. They explained that while the two actresses had strong chemistry, the film itself wasn’t impressive and kept them apart for most of the story. The voter added that what put him off more was their “promotional performances.”
“They creeped a lot of people out, and in their rush to feel authentic, came off as cosplaying,” the individual shared.
Cynthia Erivo Confronted A Fan For Breaking A Theater Rule

Outside of the headlines surrounding Grande, Erivo recently drew attention after pausing her West End production of “Dracula” to confront an audience member who was allegedly filming the performance.
According to The Blast, a TikTok user recounted that the 39-year-old stage star stopped the show for several minutes after spotting someone recording inside the theater.
Another attendee confirmed that Erivo directly addressed the individual from the stage before staff escorted them out for violating the no-filming policy.
Ariana Grande Has A New Album On The Way

While Erivo continues making headlines, Grande has also generated buzz after announcing a brand-new album.
As The Blast reported, the “Thank U, Next” singer recently unveiled the cover art for her upcoming record on Instagram, showing herself smiling as loose brown hair framed her face.
Grande revealed the project, titled “Petal,” is scheduled for release on July 31, 2026. Alongside co-writing the project, she also served as executive producer, working with producer Ilya, known for collaborations with artists like Taylor Swift and Sam Smith.

‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’
Release Date: June 11th, 2027
Live-action remakes of animated movies have had a massively mixed reception in the modern era, usually having overwhelming box-office success despite middling reception from critics and audiences. However, one exception to the rule was How to Train Your Dragon, thanks largely to having the same director as the original animated trilogy and dedicating themselves to recreating the magic of the original movies. This helped the original film be a massive hit with audiences and immediately greenlit a live-action remake of the sequel, How to Train Your Dragon 2.
Even today, many fans consider the animated How to Train Your Dragon 2 to be the best in the franchise, placing all sorts of hype and excitement on a live-action remake of this iconic story. While many other live-action remakes have largely followed their own path in terms of sequels and prequels, this is one of the only times when an actual high-profile animated sequel is being given the live-action remake treatment. If it even comes close to the impact and emotional weight of the animated version, then it will surely be an absolute blast.
9
‘Practical Magic 2’
Release Date: September 11th, 2026
The original Practical Magic was a quaint yet undeniably charming 90s fantasy rom-com, largely succeeding off of the comedic duo of Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman as they acquainted themselves with the world of magic and witchcraft. Following in the footsteps of other female-led legacy sequels of recent memory, like Freakier Friday and The Devil Wears Prada 2, Practical Magic 2 is building off of the cult following that the original has been building, bringing back the same iconic duo with various new faces for a fun modern twist.
Simply bringing back the charming presence and combination of Kidman and Bullock on-screen together for fantasy mischief is enough for fans of the original film to get excited about this return to form. However, Kidman and Bullock are not the only returning cast members, as Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are also reprising their roles, being joined by new faces in Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Joey King, Xolo Maridueña and Solly McLeod.

‘Frozen III’
Release Date: November 24th, 2027
Frozen has quickly cemented itself as one of the most celebrated and iconic Disney films of the 21st century, with both the original film and its sequel finding massive blockbuster success as true evolutions to the classic Disney princess musical formula. This has laid the groundwork for a large amount of anticipation and excitement for this long-awaited third film in the franchise, with Frozen III set to release 8 years after Frozen II. With the same cast and crew returning to the world of Arendelle, one can only assume that the film will be of similar musical charm and wit as the previous films.
Frozen II had already made waves when it released by being one of the few truly great Disney sequels to get a primary theatrical release and was a part of the larger Walt Disney Animation Studios. Even if Frozen III proves to be little more than just similarly catchy songs and compelling wintertime animation, there will be a lot of flourish and flair to make this film a must-watch among the animated fantasy films of the future.

‘The Legend of Zelda’
Release Date: April 30th, 2027
The Legend of Zelda continues to be one of the most recognizable and highly acclaimed fantasy video game franchises of all time, laying claim to countless masterpieces that have helped shape and reform the very medium of video games in their success. It seems entirely baffling that such an important and prominent video game franchise has still never made the jump to the big screen, yet, following the success of Nintendo’s previous cinematic outing in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, The Legend of Zelda is finally getting the movie treatment.
Set in live-action and helmed by Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director Wes Ball, this film has all the expectations in the world in having to live up to such an iconic video game franchise, yet certainly has the tools and potential to make fans proud. A lot of specifics about the film are still a mystery, but the few promo photos show that they’re taking inspiration from across the entire history of the franchise, from the early NES games to the recent masterpiece, Breath of the Wild.
6
‘Highlander’
Release Date: TBA
The original Highlander was one of the most iconic, ruthlessly brutal fantasy action movies that the 80s had to offer, still being iconic in its stature despite a myriad of underwhelming sequels in the years since its release. It seemed all but inevitable that the Highlander franchise would find a reboot in the modern day, yet it’s the star power and talent attached that makes the upcoming Highlander film a real must-watch. Even without a confirmed release date, the Highlander reboot is one of the most promising and exciting fantasy films of the future.
The biggest draw for excitement is that the reboot comes from director Chad Stahelski, whose previous work includes all four main series entries in the legendary John Wick franchise. On top of that, the film is filled with exceptional talent across the board, with Henry Cavill in the leading role and a top-notch supporting casting including Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Dave Bautista, and Jeremy Irons. Between Cavill’s previous experience in fantasy action playing Geralt in The Witcher and this being Stahelski’s first non-John Wick directorial work, there is overwhelming potential in this being even better than the iconic original.
5
‘The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum’
Release Date: December 17th, 2027
Few fantasy movie franchises even come close to the stature and overwhelming praise that has graced The Lord of the Rings films, with them often finding themselves among conversation as some of the greatest blockbusters ever made and masterpieces of 21st century filmmaking. Even after a less than masterful trilogy of The Hobbit films, the allure and excitement for more Middle-earth films is compelling, leading to the return to these iconic characters with The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum.
The film will follow an often untold chapter of The Lord of the Rings mythos, where Gandalf and Aragorn hunt for Gollum after his escape from Mordor, happening in parallel with early events of The Fellowship of the Ring. The immediate draw for many fans is that it features a lot of the same cast as the legendary Peter Jackson films, with the likes of Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen, Kate Winslet, Lee Pace, and Elijah Wood all reprising their roles from the Jackson films. Serkis himself is even directing the film, a perfect fit considering his iconic performance is what helped bring Gollum to life in the first place.
4
‘Elden Ring’
Release Date: March 3rd, 2028
One of the biggest and most acclaimed fantasy video game releases of recent memory, Elden Ring has been an overwhelming phenomenon that expanded upon the Soulslike formula to create FromSoftware’s magnum opus in combination with intricate worldbuilding from George R. R. Martin. The stature and legacy of the original game makes this cinematic adaptation all the more enticing for fans, as the world of Elden Ring is rife with potential in its intricate world and pure spectacle.
However, it’s the combination of passion and talent from director Alex Garland that really sets this film apart as one of the most anticipated video game adaptations. Garland has not only been on an absolute hot streak as both a director and a writer, but he has a clear passion and understanding of Elden Ring‘s game and story, being dedicated to accuracy and recreating the energy of the games above all else. With A24’s backing and giving him large creative control, Elden Ring could just become one of the all-time greatest video game adaptations.
3
‘Wildwood’
Release Date: October 23rd, 2026
LAIKA has been the go-to animation studio for masterful stop-motion ever since their inception, releasing masterpiece after masterpiece in their tenure of brilliant fantasy filmmaking. However, after an elongated period of no feature films from the studio, Wildwood is setting itself up to possibly be their most enthralling and captivating stop-motion fantasy experience yet. The film follows a young girl going on a journey off into a mysterious magical world in order to save her kidnapped baby brother from a mysterious witch.
The film seems to be sporting some of the most breathtaking and exceptionally crafted stop-motion animation that the studio has ever created so far. Especially in a modern era where human achievement and meticulous craft in filmmaking is more greatly appreciated, Wildwood has the potential to wow and delight audiences better than any LAIKA film before it. If the story can similarly live up to its visual mastery, then this could easily be one of the definitive animated masterpieces of the decade.
2
‘Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew’
Release Date: February 12th, 2027
Adapting one of the most acclaimed and celebrated fantasy novels of all time, Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew is also looking to continue and extend the cinematic legacy of the Narnia franchise, which previously had an entire successful trilogy in the 2000s. While it’s inherently exciting enough to see this beloved series return to the big screen, the real selling point of this upcoming must-watch epic is that it’s being helmed by director Greta Gerwig, as her last film Barbie was an inescapable cultural phenomenon.
With Gerwig being given massive Netflix blockbuster funding and the creative liberties to tell the story of Narnia in her own distinct way, even non-fans of the Narnia franchise have grown antsy with anticipation as to what Gerwig could accomplish with this timeless material. Netflix themselves seems to have high hopes for this blockbuster, as the film is set to be one of the first real theatrical releases for the studio, collaborating with IMAX and making a true, must-watch blockbuster event out of the film.
1
‘The Odyssey’
Release Date: July 17th, 2026
It’s certainly easy to be more excited about the prominent fantasy films that are closest to their wide release, but ever since this project was announced, Christopher Nolan‘s take on The Odyssey has been at the top of anticipated fantasy movies and possibly even movies in general. The very prospect of one of the greatest modern-day filmmakers providing his own twist and perspective on one of the most influential and important epics in human history is the stuff that dreams are made of.
The potential and excitement is certainly there, as anticipation and fervor for the film has only exponentially grown following the release of various trailers and sneak peeks at its content. From the high-tension Trojan horse sequence to the battle against the Cyclops, the trailers do a great job of showing off standout moments without giving away too much about the overarching story and experience. It was already being perceived as one of the year’s best before trailers were even released, with the short time until its release feeling like an eternity in patience.

General Hospital Early Spoilers June 1-5: Lulu Desperate & Willow Horrified by Truth!
General Hospital spoilers for June 1-5, 2026 are going to see Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) increasingly desperate as Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) remains on the run with Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud), the woman Rocco calls “other mother.” Plus, Willow Tait Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) is horrified by what Sidwell has planned.
As we always do on early edition day, we are going to start with what’s happening the rest of this week and then we get into what’s coming the week ahead. Let’s go!
General Hospital Spoilers Wednesday, May 27th: Trina Gets Bad News
On Wednesday, May 27th, we have Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) delivering some bad news to Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). So, this may be about the whole Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) arrest for the Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) assault, or it could be Kai telling Trina that Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) also had a stroke at Drew’s place, and they might start worrying about what that means.
Plus, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) advises someone to be cautious. Could be Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu or maybe Laura Collins (Genie Francis) Sonny is telling somebody, “You sit tight and he promises to take care of everything.” So that might be about him and Laura plotting to get information from Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) about Pascal (Mark Forget).
Also this week, Sonny is at Lulu’s. She and Dante are there. I’m sure they’re talking about Rocco. And Lulu asked Dante what does he think? Should they bring in the FBI? Also this week, Lulu’s telling Dante they got to find Rocco before Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) does.
So, this is obviously a race against time. Plus, in other scenes this week, Jens Sidwell (Carlo Rota) calls to tell someone, “Find her and bring her back.” Now, I am sure that’s about Britt because she did not finish the prototype and took off. So, we’ll see if he’s talking to Cullum. I’m sure that Cullum is also on the hunt for them because he wants to strangle Rocco for shooting him and take out Britt as well, like he already tried to do.
GH Spoilers: Emma Consoles Gio
Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) supports Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza). He’s upset about Rocco taking off. You know, Dante has hated on Gio so much in past times when Rocco screwed up and then he was trying to blame Gio like the drunken party foul. And at this point, I think Gio’s now been gaslighted by Dante so that he thinks that anything Rocco does wrong is a reflection on him as a big brother.
Meanwhile, Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) checks up on Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). I’m sure that Ric is concerned about Britt manhandling her and shoving her in a closet. Trina checks in with both of her parents separately and she’s asking Curtis how much trouble is he in.
Meanwhile, Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) is telling somebody, maybe Trina, that Isaiah’s whole career may be over because of what Curtis did. Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) listens as Curtis says that Isaiah was looking for a fight, so he gave him what he asked for. And I wonder if that’s what Curtis is also going to tell Portia.
General Hospital Spoilers: Portia in the Hot Seat
Also, Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) interviews Isaiah and Portia about the incident at the Metro Court, and Justine asked Portia if she agrees with Isaiah’s account of the event. So, I wonder if he says Curtis attacked him unprovoked.
Now, certainly what Isaiah said to him could be considered fighting words, but in terms of physicality, Curtis was the sole aggressor. Kristina Corinthos (Kate Mansi) tells Molly, “This is not a good idea.” And I wonder if this is about Kristina going to medical school or something else that they are up to.
Thursday, May 28th on General Hospital: Michael Grows Suspicious
Thursday, May 28th, something has Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) suspicious. It may be about two different men having strokes in Willow’s house and he may see Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) lurking with Brennan up at the hospital. Plus, Willow’s absolutely horrified. Maybe because Nina tells her she didn’t inject Jack and he’s awake and talking but faking locked-in.
Or it may be about Sidwell because this week as Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) looks on kind of panicked acting with his eyes, you know, Willow tells Sidwell they’ve got to stop dosing Drew and Sidwell gives a big sigh. So, I wonder if this is when he tells Willow he’s going to kill Drew. Also, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) are interrupted and Trina is venting to Gio.
And this could be about her parents drama about Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) being MIA or the whole showcase performance. Be kind of awkward if Isaiah came along with Portia and then Curtis is there. I’m sure Trina doesn’t want a fist fight at her show. Plus, Portia challenges Curtis. I’m sure it’s about Isaiah, no doubt. And she may be going off on Curtis because Isaiah’s career could be over.
Friday, May 29th on GH: BLQ Warned & Ethan on a Mission
Friday, May 29th, Brook Lynn gets a warning from Michael. This may be that he’s saying Willow’s too close to Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard). Brook Lynn may mention that Willow is helping them with Phoebe’s adoption, but Michael does have those photos from the private investigator that he might show BLQ.
Ethan Lovett (Nathan Dean) sets out on a mission, and I wonder if he’s going to go try and bring Rocco home for Lulu. He’s a top choice. Now, Sonny may ask him to do it, but even if not, I’m sure Ethan would go do it anyway for his sister. Plus, Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) and Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) have a heart-to-heart.
And I wonder if Charlotte’s going to tell Carly that Rocco took off with Britt. Molly advises somebody maybe about Kristina with medical school. I’m trying to figure out how she got into medical school when she dropped out of Yale after Alexis and Sonny pulled strings to get her in. Then she was at PCU but started boinking lady professor Parker (Ashley Jones) and then dropped out of PCU so that Kristina could date her without Parker getting fired.
The bottom line, Kristina never graduated. So this is kind of a nonsensical retcon. I wish they had chosen something more plausible based on her actual history to exit Kate Mansi out as Kristina. Meanwhile, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) makes time for some romance. He’s doing some sort of grand gesture for Carly, who is of course falling hard for her hunky attic dweller.

Week of June 1st-5th on General Hospital: Finola Hughes & Steve Burton in the Studio again Soon
The week of June 1st through the 5th, we have got lots of stuff coming. We’re going to see Kristina exiting soon, off to medical school that doesn’t require an undergrad degree, I guess. Plus, Steve Burton is back taping soon.
He did confirm he was going to resume filming for General Hospital in June and would be back on air in July, maybe early August. After Brook Lynn hears what Curtis did to Isaiah and that the assault could mean that Curtis goes to jail and Isaiah loses his ability to perform surgery and Curtis is blaming Isaiah for Jordan’s crash.
I think Brook Lynn is going to seriously reconsider keeping quiet, but if she tells Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliott), of course, she’s going to try and talk Brook Lynn out of coming forward. Meanwhile, Curtis is still going to be gunning for Isaiah while facing criminal charges. Michael keeps on with his plot to either get Chase and Willow to cheat or just look like they are.
Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) should be back on screen this month. We don’t have an air date yet. Hopefully, she will be back in Port Charles and we’ll skip past all the France stuff. Willow has to deal with Sidwell’s shocking demands where Drew is concerned and Nina is committed to protecting Brennan.
General Hospital Spoilers: Dante & Lulu Desperate
The search for Rocco heats up. A lot of people are after them. Sidwell wants them found so he can continue the project. Cullum wants them found so he can kill both of them. And Lulu and Dante just want their son back safely. Plus, I’m sure Cassius Faison (Ryan Paevey) is worried because he knows Britt is going to be getting sick soon without her Huntington’s meds.
Ethan may be in on the search, too, because it’s his nephew. Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Ava Jerome’s (Maura West) New York adventure gets underway as they chase answers about Delilah Wilson (Lily Cardone) and whether she has more family so that they can clear the path for Brook Lynn and Chase to adopt the little girl. Will Chase tell her that Rocco ran away with his sister Britt? Also, more on Josslyn in her captivity.
Plus, Sidwell’s thinking about Ava’s suggestion of a scorned lover killing Marco Rios(AdrianAnchando). I just wonder when it’s going to cross Sidwell’s mind that Pascal had a big old unrequited crush on Marco and might be the perp because Sidwell does know about this crush and Pascal is a known source of violence where Lucas is definitely not.

Amy Schumer Shows Off Body While Vacationing With Son Gene
Amy Schumer is on an endless vacation.
Schumer, 44, took to Instagram on Wednesday, May 27, to share moments from her fun-filled trip to Italy with her son Gene, 7, whom she shares with her husband Chris Fischer. In one pic, the comedian looked glamorous in a rosy silk dress featuring a plunging neckline and straps that tied in bows on her shoulders. The number, which she wore during a yacht ride, was finished with a floor-length skirt.
Schumer kicked off her shoes during the ride and rocked soft makeup. She tied her blonde hair up in a half-up hairdo and gave the camera a soft smile.
Elsewhere in the post, Schumer showed off her bikini body in a red one-piece. Her swimsuit featured thin straps and a square neckline. The I Feel Pretty star accessorized with a straw visor complete with a black rim as she went paddleboarding.

Schumer also took her little one for a jet ski ride during her trip.
“Travel,” she captioned the post. Her fans complimented her in the comments section.
“We love you Amy! You look fab and happy!!!” one wrote, while another added, “Beautiful! 😍😍.” A third commented, “Incredible 🔥.”
Last month, she again rocked a swimsuit while vacationing with a friend. She stunned in a black one-piece featuring thick straps and a plunging neckline. The design was finished with brown buttons lining her V-neck. During the same getaway, the Trainwreck actress sizzled in a burgundy suit with more buttons on her neckline.
Schumer has been candid about her weight loss through the years, sharing that she lost 50 pounds through weight loss drugs and a lifestyle change. She also was diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, which can be life threatening, and also causes puffiness in the face.
“So I got these was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome — which I wouldn’t have known if the internet hadn’t come for me so hard,” Schumer explained during a January episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “I learned I had this condition, and that I had something called moon face, and I’m starring in a movie — and there’s a camera right in my face.”
After she got rid of the condition, people told her she “looked great.”
“I just needed one person to just amp me up,” she said.

In fact, some of the show’s biggest stars, including Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke have a history of dating their costars. After romancing a few other Bravo stars, Lindsay and Carl got engaged in 2022, but they called off the wedding the following year.
Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batula met in 2015 and made their relationship official during season 1. They tied the knot in September 2021, but in January 2026 Kyle and Amanda announced their split. Amanda moved on with housemate West Wilson in March 2026 — after he previously dated her BFF Ciara Miller.

2026’s Viral Horror Sensation Officially Overtakes A24’s Most Terrifying Movie
A movement in horror that began nearly a decade ago seems to have come full circle, with the pioneering movie of this wave being overtaken at the box office by a new hit. The new film’s success also serves as a passing-of-the-baton moment between two generations of horror filmmakers. The first generation, the millennials, were shown the way by Ari Aster, who broke out with Hereditary in 2018. The new Gen Z horror filmmakers all honed their craft on YouTube. The most successful of the bunch, Curry Barker, is just 26 years old. The youngest of this new wave of horror directors is Kane Parsons, who was hired to direct the upcoming and now critically acclaimed movie Backrooms when he was still a teenager.
Ahead of Backrooms‘ imminent debut, it’s Barker’s movie that has emerged as an industry-altering hit. We’re talking, of course, about Obsession. The movie exceeded box-office expectations in its opening weekend and then pulled off the unprecedented achievement of delivering a higher second-weekend gross. Not only did it earn more in its sophomore frame than it did in its first, but Obsession also delivered a jump of 36% — it’s a record that will probably not be broken for quite some time. It’s extremely rare for a wide release to deliver an increase in its box office revenue, but a 36% bump is genuinely unheard of.
Here’s How Much ‘Obsession’ Has Grossed at the Box Office So Far
Thanks to its record-breaking performance in less than two weeks of release, Obsession has grossed around $85 million at the worldwide box office. This is already more than 100 times its reported budget of $750,000, which makes it one of the most successful movies of all time by return on investment. By comparison, Paranormal Activity grossed nearly $200 million on a budget of $450,000 and The Blair Witch Project grossed around $250 million on a budget of around $750,000. With a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score, Obsession is overtaking the $90 million lifetime haul of Hereditary as we speak, and it should comfortably pass the coveted $100 million mark worldwide this weekend. It’ll face direct competition from Backrooms, which is expected to break A24’s opening weekend box office record on the strength of incredible pre-release buzz and positive reviews. If projections hold, it will surpass Hereditary‘s lifetime domestic haul in three days. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
