Ariana Grande has reassured fans that her upcoming break from the spotlight is something she planned long before recent headlines or online speculation. 

The singer addressed the decision in an emotional message during her Eternal Sunshine Tour stop in Chicago, making it clear that stepping back was never a reaction to outside noise. 

As her heartfelt remarks resonated with fans, one of the people closest to her publicly showed unwavering support, celebrating both Ariana’s latest artistic work and the person behind it.

Rather than letting recent speculation define the conversation, Ariana Grande used her return to the stage at Chicago’s United Center to explain the decision herself.

As The Blast reported, the Grammy Award winner stressed that her plans had been in place well before the public announcement.

“The announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing. It is something that I had decided to plan,” Ariana explained, adding that she had made the decision “quietly, a long time ago.”

The former Nickelodeon star also dismissed claims that outside negativity had overshadowed what the tour meant to her.

“No matter what noises exist out there, nothing will be able to distort my reality or be more real to me or not as real to me as this love that we share,” Ariana said.

Calling the Eternal Sunshine Tour “one of the most healing, beautiful, correct and special experiences” of her life, she paused before adding, “That felt good.”

Ariana’s Mother Publicly Celebrates Her Latest Project

Following Ariana Grande’s emotional confession, Joan Grande made her feelings known with a heartfelt show of support on social media.

Commenting on her daughter’s Instagram post featuring behind-the-scenes images from the newly released “Petal” music video, Joan praised both her daughter’s work and the artist herself.

“You are magnificent… and this video is incredible!! I love it and I love you more!!!” she wrote. 

The post featured several striking images from the visual, including scenes of Ariana covered in blood and holding a chainsaw.

Ariana’s emotional message echoed what her team had already shared about her plans after the Eternal Sunshine Tour.

According to her representative, the singer will step away from public-facing appearances once the tour concludes in London on September 1.

“Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour,” the representative told PEOPLE.

They added that Ariana was looking forward to finishing the tour “healthily and happily” before taking “a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny.”

The representative also emphasized that the tour itself had been an overwhelmingly positive experience, noting, “This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”

Ariana’s ‘Petal’ Is Becoming One Of Her Boldest Artistic Statements Yet

While Ariana Grande’s big announcement has dominated headlines, her latest album and its striking visuals are generating just as much conversation.

Released on July 31, “Petal” marks the star’s eighth studio album and showcases a noticeably different creative direction.

Rather than relying on the powerhouse vocals that defined much of her earlier career, the project embraces a more restrained, emotionally layered sound, with critics pointing to its introspective lyrics and understated production as signs of an artist entering a new phase. 

The album’s lead single, “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” has already become another career milestone, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and giving Ariana her tenth chart-topping single. 

Ariana Grande Takes Fight Over Leaked Music To Court

Amid the career milestones, Ariana is also pursuing legal action over what she claims was a coordinated effort to steal and distribute some of her most closely guarded creative work.

According to The New York Times, the 33-year-old recently launched legal action against unidentified hackers she alleged orchestrated a years-long campaign to steal and distribute her unreleased music and private content. 

Court filings claimed the hackers gained unauthorized access to people within Ariana’s professional circle before obtaining unreleased masters, demo recordings, private photographs, recording session footage, and music video assets.

According to the filing, the alleged operation resulted in dozens of songs being leaked online, with 45 unreleased tracks surfacing in 2023 alone. 

Ariana is seeking permission to subpoena digital records that could help identify those responsible, arguing that the stolen material was later sold and distributed across the internet.

It’s no surprise that most of the outfits I spot on my favorite stylish celebrities are way out of my price range. But every once in a while, there are rare finds — like Halle Berry’s gorgeous resort-style pants — that are not only affordable but actually on sale. In fact, the actress’ vacation bottoms are currently discounted to under $40.

Posing seaside, the 59-year-old Crime 101 star looked effortlessly cool and vacation-ready, showing off a sleek SOMA matching set that included a coordinating swim cover-up. With Berry’s pants currently discounted by 50%, the look is surprisingly easy to recreate without breaking your budget.

Ariana Grande addressed her fans directly after announcing her decision to take a “step back” from the spotlight.

“Is it OK if we get a little real tonight?” the “We Can’t Be Friends” singer said onstage Monday, August 3, at her Eternal Sunshine Tour in Chicago, per footage posted via X.

She continued, “Sometimes when a story comes out that’s not directly from me, things can get a little blown out of proportion, so I just wanted to speak to my fans directly tonight, because I love you so much.”

“The announcement that was made yesterday was not a reactive or impulsive thing,” Grande, 33, explained. “It is something that I had decided, a plan I had quietly made a long time ago, and it’s a decision that was made from a thoughtful and empowered place.”

Grande addressed concerns that her fans “were worried that ‘negativity’ was ruining things for me,” insisting that is not the case.

“I want you to know that many things can be true at the same time,” she said. “Boundaries can need to be set, human beings can need a break sometimes, and also, this can be and will continue to be the greatest experience of my professional career.

“No matter what noises exist out there, nothing will be able to distort my reality or be more real to me or not as real to me than this love that we share and how it feels to make art with people that I love and respect. Absolutely nothing will change that.”

“This is what I will take with me and carry with me, because the rest of that s*** is not mine to carry,” the Oscar nominee added to cheers from fans in attendance at the United Center.

Sidney Starr has the internet talking following her recent arrest. As of Monday (August 3), Starr remains in custody. She is facing multiple charges, including sexual battery against a child under 16, aggravated child molestation, and sodomy.

Sidney Starr & Her Mother Speak Out Following Her Arrest

Speaking to TMZ, Sidney Starr denied the child sexual assault allegations and said she plans to fight the charges. In a statement to the site, Starr said she “unequivocally denies the allegations against her and intends to vigorously defend herself through the legal process.” She also stated, “Allegations should not be mistaken for fact, and public opinion should never replace due process.”

Also, Starr defended the transgender community, saying one person’s alleged actions should not be used to stigmatize an entire community. She thanked supporters for their patience, requested privacy as the case moves forward, and said this would be her only public statement while the legal matter remains pending.

Meanwhile, Sidney’s mother, Stephanie Favors, also spoke to TMZ, saying she does not believe her daughter would engage in sexual activity with a minor. She also said the allegations are out of character.

No creator is more prolific in television right now than Taylor Sheridan. He’s had one hit after another on Paramount+. The writer of Sicario and Hell or High Water hit it big as the mastermind behind Yellowstone. That was followed up by shows such as 1923, Tulsa King, and Dutton Ranch. Among them is a series headlined by Hollywood heavyweights Billy Bob Thornton and Demi Moore. Landman premiered on Paramount+ in 2024. After two successful seasons, it’s getting ready for a third. Like HBO’s hit Emmy winner Succession, Landman is a compelling series that centers its focus on the drama of a powerful family. If you have yet to check it out, give it a watch before Season 3 arrives.

What Is ‘Landman’ About?

As Succession is about the power and the conflict it creates between the Roy family, Taylor Sheridan’s Landman finds the same intrigue with the Norris’s. Tommy Norris (Thornton) serves as oil company M-Tex’s crisis manager. Known as a landman, Norris is the go-between between his boss, Monty Miller (Jon Hamm), and landowners in West Texas. It’s his job to calm conflicts and secure deals for M-Tex. Tommy is a man in great pain. He’s besieged by alcoholism and immense debt, and he finds no relief with his family. Tommy is estranged from his father, T.L. Norris (Sam Elliott), is divorced from Angela Norris (Ali Larter), and doesn’t get to see much of his kids.

Tommy Norris doesn’t have some dull desk job. He’s in the thick of it, whether it be dealing with deadly drug cartels or the horrors of oil rigs and the death they can cause if something goes wrong. Throw in the back-and-forth relationship with Angela that won’t die, and Tommy has his hands full. It gets even more complicated in Season 2 of Landman when a shocking twist puts Tommy in a higher position with even more stress when Monty’s wife, Cami Miller (Moore), begins to show off her power. With the corporate and family chaos driven by dark humor, Landman takes what worked in the New York City boardrooms of Succession to the oil fields of Texas.

‘Landman’ Is Carried By Its Impressive Performances

Landman is controversial, but controversy creates intrigue. Taylor Sheridan doesn’t fail to deliver on this point, and his series gets better where it first fails. The most disappointing part of Season 1 was how it didn’t do justice to its female characters. They come across as simple, cookie-cutter tropes who are there to carry the plot for the men. Ali Larter’s Angela Norris doesn’t have a lot to do other than come across as shallow and materialistic, and Demi Moore’s Cami Miller is barely around. This means Season 1 of Landman‘s weight is carried by the men.

Tommy Norris is an anti-hero in the same way that many characters in Succession are. If he was a great guy with no issues, where would the conflict and growth come from? Just ask Jon Hamm how doing the opposite worked out on Mad Men. Tommy does bad things for bad men; still, there is good underneath his actions. He loves his ex-wife dearly, and he wants her and his children, Ainsley (Michelle Randolph) and Cooper (Jacob Lofland), back in his life. He’s a problematic character, but not one who is irredeemable, and Thornton makes him a joy to watch evolve.

Season 2 of Landman only gets better. Tommy Norris remains charming in the most frustrating of ways, and Sam Elliott’s screen time brings more drama to his life. Sheridan improves on his woman problem in Season 2, with the season bringing in Kayla Wallace‘s Rebecca Falcone. Her character is the answer to the questions that come with the ethics of what Tommy and others like him do. Most importantly, Landman‘s second season realizes what they have with Demi Moore. Just as Succession has powerful female characters like Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Gerri (J. Smith Cameron), Landman Season 2 leans into Cami Miller’s storyline. She’s not in the background this time around. Cami is a force to be reckoned with, a character who demands your attention thanks to the Oscar-nominated actor who plays her. Landman isn’t perfect. It embodies some of the best and worst of what Taylor Sheridan has done before. What it never is, though, is boring.

Kelly Osbourne has sparked fresh speculation after sharing a string of emotional social media posts as reports surfaced that her ex-fiancé, Sid Wilson, was allegedly out of Slipknot. 

Although Kelly never mentioned Wilson by name, the timing of her messages quickly caught fans’ attention. 

The television personality, who split from the longtime Slipknot keyboardist earlier this year and shares a young son with him, appeared to vent frustrations while urging someone to take responsibility.

Kelly Osbourne set social media buzzing after posting a series of emotional and cryptic Instagram Stories. 

The “One Word” singer who ended her engagement to the musician in March, opened with a blunt message that immediately fueled speculation.

“I can’t protect you from yourself anymore,” she wrote per the Daily Mail. Kelly followed it with another post that suggested she was drawing a firm line.

“Wake the f*ck up and take some responsibility. I will not take your sh*t anymore. I’m done. I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal,” the songstress shared. 

Kelly’s posts didn’t end there. In another Story, the 41-year-old reflected on accountability while appearing to criticize someone she believed refused to face the consequences of their actions.

“Strange how the loudest defence of the guilty is rarely innocence… It’s distraction. When the mask slips, they don’t face the mirror they throw it at someone else. I heard that when you break a mirror you get seven years bad luck. Or is that karma? This is why I always take accountability. As they say some are sicker than others,” she wrote.

Kelly Continues Her Message With More Personal Posts

Kelly Osbourne later shared another pointed message that hinted at unresolved issues following her split, noting, “Also while I’m at it can I have my dogs back and all my possessions Oh yeah and maybe some child support?”

She also reposted several quotes and a poem centered on “protecting my kid,” adding another emotional layer to her series of Stories.

Kelly and Wilson had been together for several years before ending their engagement in March. The pair first met in 1999 when Slipknot toured on Ozzfest, the music festival founded by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, but their friendship didn’t become romantic until 2022. 

Wilson proposed to Kelly backstage at Ozzy’s farewell Black Sabbath concert in July 2025, creating one of the family’s happiest moments before Ozzy’s death later that month. 

The former couple welcomed their son, Sidney, in 2022 and often spoke publicly about embracing parenthood together. 

Kelly Osbourne And Sid Wilson’s Engagement Hit A Rough Patch

In March, reports emerged that Kelly was facing a difficult period in her relationship. According to a source who spoke with PEOPLE, the couple had been navigating “strain,” with Kelly said to be in a “challenging headspace” following the death of her father.

 The insider claimed the grieving reality star had been dividing her time between supporting Sharon in England and returning to Iowa, where she and Wilson had lived with their 3-year-old son, creating additional pressure on the relationship. 

Despite reports suggesting the pair had quietly ended their engagement, the source emphasized that the situation remained complicated rather than straightforward.

Kelly’s Ex Faces Uncertainty As Slipknot Bandmate Urges Fans To Wait

The renewed attention on Kelly Osbourne and Wilson’s former romance arrived as questions continued to swirl over the 49-year-old’s future with Slipknot. 

The Blast reported in July that the longtime keyboardist and DJ had allegedly been informed that he was no longer part of the band after nearly three decades.

Adding to the uncertainty, Slipknot guitarist Jim Root appeared to address the speculation without confirming or denying the reports. 

In a message shared to his Instagram Stories, Root urged fans not to rush to conclusions, writing, “Don’t believe everything you read. Stop. Think. Take a breath. Sit with it for awhile.” He later added that people should “maybe even wait until there’s more information.” 

Neither Wilson nor Slipknot has publicly confirmed the reported departure, and no official explanation has been given.

If reports of Sid Wilson’s departure are ultimately confirmed, Slipknot would lose one of the few remaining members who helped define the band’s identity from its earliest days. 

Wilson joined the metal group in 1998 as its DJ and keyboardist, becoming the ninth member of the lineup that would go on to transform Slipknot into one of heavy metal’s most recognizable acts. 

His chaotic stage presence and electronic elements became an integral part of the band’s live performances and studio recordings.

The reported departure would also continue a dramatic period of change for Slipknot. Since the death of bassist Paul Gray in 2010, the band has undergone a series of high-profile lineup shifts, including the exits of drummer Joey Jordison, percussionist Chris Fehn, sampler Craig Jones, and drummer Jay Weinberg. 

While the group has consistently found ways to evolve, each change has altered the chemistry that longtime fans associate with Slipknot’s classic era.

Access Hollywood anchor Kit Hoover is showing off her new mystery man amid her divorce from Crowley Sullivan.

“Italy … you were Magic. ✨🇮🇹 Grazie for the memories. #Sardinia #Portofino #ForteDeiMarmi #Rome,” Hoover, 56, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, August 2, alongside a photo of herself hugging her boyfriend, who has not been identified, as the sun set behind them.

Hoover’s cohost, Mario Lopez, commented on the post, “Oh the hard launch! Ok Hoover… :).”

Hoover’s hard launch comes more than one year after her December 2024 split from Sullivan, 54.

This past year had Us questioning whether love is even real after a months-long onslaught of celebrity breakups. One of the first shocking splits that took the world by storm in 2023 was Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix. Us Weekly confirmed in March that the Vanderpump Rules stars broke up after nearly a decade of […]

“She’s been telling people she is single and getting divorced,” a source told Us at the time.

Hoover ultimately filed for divorce in Los Angeles in March 2025, citing irreconcilable differences as a reason for the former couple’s split, according to court docs obtained by Us at the time. She listed their date of separation as May 1, 2024.

Hoover and Sullivan share daughters Campbell, 23, and Hayes, 21, and son Crowley Jr., 19.

Hoover indicated in the docs that she and her estranged husband came to a separate support agreement.

Hoover tied the knot with Sullivan, the CEO of Athlete Advantage, in August 1999.

One week after news of their split broke, Hoover had Elizabeth Hurley on her podcast, “The Coop With Kit,” where she asked the actress how to maintain relationships with one’s exes.

“How do you maintain that? I mean, it’s one thing to say it, but I know you really live it,” Hoover inquired. “Any nuggets you could share on that?”

Hurley, 61, who was married to ex Arun Nayar from 2002 to 2011 and shares son Damian with ex Steve Bing, responded, “I wouldn’t know how to not have them in my life, in a way, because it would really be like not talking to my brother again. Or a family member.”

Hoover and Sullivan first sparked split rumors in December 2024 when she was spotted without her wedding ring and seemingly stopped posting about Sullivan on social media. She notably did not pay tribute to Sullivan on their 25th wedding anniversary, despite doing so on Instagram the year before.

“Holy Cow – We are 24 years old in this pic and NOW – Happy 24th anniversary Honeybun!!!” she wrote in August 2023. “Thanks for loving this lunatic and for our beautiful family that is my EVERYTHING. I love you. 💚🍀💚 #stillhavingfun #stilltheone #grateful #joyfulliving.”

July was a historic month at the box office, and it all started with the release of Christopher Nolan’s new historical epic, The Odyssey. Starring Matt Damon and Tom Holland, The Odyssey passed $900 million at the box office during its third weekend in theaters, and with the IMAX demand higher than ever, it’s expected to pass $1 billion soon and easily become Nolan’s highest-grossing film. July was especially a big month at the box office for The Odyssey stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Bernthal, who can also be seen playing Peter Parker, MJ, and The Punisher, respectively, in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which just premiered in theaters this past weekend. After scoring $360 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend, Spider-Man 4 has officially defeated Avengers: Endgame to hold the record for the biggest box office opening of all time.

What makes this box office opening for Spider-Man: Brand New Day even more impressive is that the film did not secure any IMAX screens during its first weekend in theaters — Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has had IMAX exclusivity since it premiered on July 17. However, IMAX announced yesterday that the film would begin playing on larger screens this weekend, starting August 7, and IMAX tickets for Spider-Man: Brand New Day are now on sale. Before the film swings into its second weekend in theaters, it has officially passed $1 billion at the box office thanks to a behemoth first Monday. It took only Spider-Man: Brand New Day five days to reach $1 billion at the global box office, and the film could reach $2 billion by the end of its run to become one of the biggest movies in history.

Is Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in ‘Avengers: Doomsday’?

Tom Holland has not yet been confirmed to have a role in Avengers: Doomsday. While it would be surprising to see him left out of the film entirely, especially considering he had such a key role in the last two Avengers movies, Marvel may want to reserve Spider-Man’s role for more street-level stories and not Avengers-level threats. It’s heavily speculated that Holland’s Spider-Man will show up in some capacity in Avengers: Secret Wars, though, which will likely feature one of the biggest ensemble casts in movie history.

Check out Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theaters now and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of the film.
