By your command, the best science fiction series of the 2000s is finally coming back to streaming. Initially, it was a controversial reboot of a short-lived but beloved cult classic TV show of the 1970s, but it soon evolved into its own entity. Now, it’s coming to two streaming services, and on one of them, you can watch it for free.

Starting on May 1, the 2000s Sci-Fi Channel reboot of Battlestar Galactica is finally returning to streaming. Thanks to NBCU Global TV Distribution, Pluto TV and Paramount+ will both host the two-part, three-hour miniseries that kicked off the reboot, as well as the four-season series that followed; Pluto TV will show it as part of their free, ad-supported streaming service, with a dedicated Battlestar Galactica channel. They will also stream Battlestar Galactica: The Plan, a movie-length special that features both new footage and reused footage from the miniseries and series to retell the Cylon infiltration from the point of view of the Cylons. Plus, Paramount+ will be the exclusive streaming home of Caprica, the short-lived prequel series that depicted the birth of the marauding robotic Cylons and showed a glimpse of the 12 Colonies before their untimely devastation.

What Is ‘Battlestar Galactica’ About?

A dramatic reimagining of the campy but fondly remembered 1970s TV series, Battlestar Galactica tells the tale of the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, an alliance of human-occupied planets, and the robotic Cylons who destroyed them. The ragtag survivors of the Colonies flee aboard the Galactica, a Battlestar warship that leads a battered civilian fleet on a desperate search for the 13th colony: a legendary world called “Earth.” Captained by William Adama (Edward James Olmos, Blade Runner), and led by newly appointed President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell, Independence Day), the remnants of humanity still have to deal with the Cylons.

However, while most of the Cylons resemble the sleek, chrome-plated mechanical marauders of the original series, they also have a secret weapon: a new model of Cylon that can perfectly mimic human beings, like the seductive Number Six (Tricia Helfer, Lucifer). Any one of Galactica‘s crew could be Cylons, including hotshot pilots Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff, The Mandalorian) and Boomer (Grace Park, Hawaii Five-0), shifty scientist Gaius Baltar (James Callis, 12 Monkeys) and even Adama’s son, Lee (Jamie Bamber, Band of Brothers).

The original Battlestar Galactica series was the brainchild of TV impresario Glen A. Larson (Knight Rider), who was inspired by Mormon theology. The reboot was masterminded by Ronald D. Moore (For All Mankind).

Battlestar Galactica will stream on Pluto TV and Paramount+ starting on May 1. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Southern Hospitality’s Mia Alario is adding to the ongoing intrigue surrounding the newfound romance between Summer House stars West Wilson and Amanda Batula.

During a Wednesday, April 22, appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Mia, 28, said she went on a date with West, 31, last September, but he had been hanging out with Amanda, 34, beforehand.

“I was cast in that dragnet that he threw across New York City,” Mia said of her brief courtship with West.

She then added, “Looking back at it, it was still a fun time. I will say it was a fun time. Did I know his morale? No.”

According to Mia, before their date, West was drinking with Amanda in his apartment. In January, Amanda announced her separation from husband Kyle Cooke after four years of marriage.

“I met Amanda at BravoCon and she actually told me that they pregamed our date at his apartment,” Mia claimed. “At the time, I was like, ‘Oh, you’re such a good friend. That sounds like such a good time.’”

Mia continued, “She was like, ‘Oh, I gave him some advice and some tips.’ I was like, girl, did we get the same tip or what? Damn. Now looking back at it, it’s a messy situation and I don’t want any part of that at all.”

West and Amanda went public with their burgeoning relationship in March, blindsiding Bravo fans and their fellow Summer House costars. Since breaking the news, there has been much speculation about the timeline of their relationship, particularly when they began dating.

During a Monday, April 20, appearance on the “Show Me Something” podcast, West denied that he and Amanda were in relationships when things turned romantic between them. (West previously dated costar Ciara Miller, one of Amanda’s friends.)

“There was no overlap,” he said, adding that he and Amanda “realized things were maybe a little bit serious” in February.

He said, “I know there’s a thousand different theories on the internet right now, but that is one thing that for sure did not happen. Everyone was single.”

In their March statement, Amanda and West said that their relationship was “still very new.”

“It was never our intention to purposely hide anything. … We’ve shown up for each other as friends over the years, through all the highs and lows, and what’s developed recently was the last thing either of us expected,” they wrote via Instagram at the time. “Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care.”

Nikki Glaser has made a major life change, and she is fully embracing it. After years of living in Los Angeles and keeping up with the fast-paced demands of Hollywood, the comedian decided to return to St. Louis, the place she has always called home. 

The move came after the pandemic and quickly turned into a permanent shift. Now, instead of chasing status and industry pressure, Nikki is enjoying a calmer, more relaxed life surrounded by family, friends, and familiar faces.

Nikki Glaser made the life-changing decision to leave Los Angeles in 2022, choosing instead to return to St. Louis, where she spent much of her childhood. 

After years of living in a fast-moving entertainment hub, the comedian wanted a complete reset. 

The transition was even documented on her reality series “Welcome Home Nikki Glaser?,” which gave fans a glimpse into her return to a more familiar environment alongside her parents.

Speaking about the move during her April 22 appearance on “Live With Kelly and Mark”, Nikki explained per PEOPLE, “I live in St. Louis,” adding, “I moved back to St. Louis after Covid and kind of just got away from it all and stayed there.” 

Her decision wasn’t impulsive as it came after years of navigating a lifestyle that demanded constant visibility and comparison. 

Nikki Surrounds Herself With Familiar Faces And Family

Returning home allowed Nikki Glaser to reconnect with the people who have known her long before fame. 

While promoting her comedy special “Good Girl,” which was filmed in St. Louis, she shared how meaningful it was to perform in front of a crowd filled with familiar faces.

“Lots of people from high school, people from my pilates class, my self-tan lady from the strip mall. But it was fun,” she told hosts Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa. 

The experience brought a different kind of comfort, even if it came with a bit of humor about how much her audience now knew about her personal life. 

“It’s fine that my childhood dentist knows about my sex life now. I guess that’s appropriate,” the 41-year-old joked.

More importantly, going back home allowed her to spend quality time with her parents. Nikki noted that the move gave her the chance to “focus on my family while they’re still around and healthy, and want to hang out with me,” a priority that had become increasingly important.

Nikki Glaser Finds Freedom Away From Status And Comparison

One of the biggest reasons behind Nikki’s move was the culture she experienced while living on the coasts. 

According to her, life in cities like Los Angeles and New York often revolved around competition and appearances. 

In August 2025, she described it plainly during a conversation on “St. Louis on the Air,” saying, “When I’m on both of the coasts, it’s like constantly comparing yourself, and everyone’s just really chasing that status.”

Back in St. Louis, that dynamic shifted entirely. The “FBoy Island” star explained, “Here [in St. Louis], it just feels a bit more relaxed, and I get back to what’s important: having a good time and going out to eat.” 

In her hometown, social clout and industry recognition carry far less weight, something she found refreshing. 

“That’s not here, and that’s not what people value here. And it just recalibrates me,” Nikki added.

Nikki Reflects On Her Journey From Midwest Roots To Stardom

Although Nikki Glaser now calls St. Louis home, her journey began elsewhere. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, before her family relocated to Missouri, where she grew up in the suburb of Kirkwood. 

Her early years in comedy were deeply tied to the Midwest, something her father, EJ Glaser, reflected on in a 2025 interview with FirstAlert4.

“She worked out of our house while driving all over the Midwest to do comedy,” he recalled, adding, “Her work ethic is just amazing. I’m so proud of her.” 

That determination eventually paid off, leading to Nikki’s first stand-up special in 2016 and a successful career that has included hosting major events like the Golden Globe Awards.

Nikki Glaser Joins Growing Trend Of Celebrities Leaving Hollywood

Nikki is far from alone in stepping away from Los Angeles. In recent years, several high-profile figures have made similar moves, citing issues such as overcrowding, the cost of living, and lifestyle pressures. 

Comedian Joe Rogan famously left the city, explaining per the Daily Mail, “I want to go somewhere in the center of the country… somewhere you have a little more freedom,” while also pointing to challenges like traffic and overpopulation.

Actor Mark Wahlberg also relocated his family to Nevada, seeking what he described as a “better life,” while Hilary Swank moved to Colorado during the pandemic and embraced a quieter lifestyle on a ranch. 

Josh Brolin followed a similar path, relocating to Atlanta with his family while maintaining ties to California. 

For Nikki, the decision wasn’t about leaving her career behind but reshaping how it fits into her life.

Rita Wilson thought she knew her family story, until a shocking discovery changed everything. 

While exploring her roots for a documentary, the actress uncovered a hidden chapter about her late father that had never been shared during his lifetime. 

What she learned left her emotional, confused, and full of questions, as it revealed a past marked by loss, secrecy, and resilience that quietly shaped the man she knew growing up.

Rita Wilson opened up about a deeply personal revelation during an appearance on the “How to Fail With Elizabeth Day” podcast, where she shared how she discovered her father once had another family before coming to America. 

Her father, Allan Wilson, originally named Hassan Halilov Ibrahimoff, had lived a very different life in Bulgaria before immigrating in 1949.

Wilson explained that she uncovered the truth while filming “Who Do You Think You Are?” in 2012. 

While many episodes trace ancestry across generations, hers took a different direction.

“What they found with my dad was that his story was so shocking and unusual that they stuck with his story,” the “Sleepless in Seattle” star recalled. That story included a marriage and a child she had never known existed.

Rita Confronts A Painful Family Loss

As she learned more, Rita Wilson discovered that her father’s first wife, Alice, died during childbirth, and their son, Emil, passed away just four months later due to an infection. 

The timeline stunned her, especially because she had grown up without any knowledge of this tragedy.

She recalled asking, “Am I going to meet someone? Am I going to meet a family?” only to be told there was no one left to meet. 

The 69-year-old admitted the revelation was difficult to process, saying, “I still can’t get over that,” while also reflecting on the silence that followed. 

“He never said anything to us. I wish I could have talked to him about that,” Wilson shared. 

She also noted how poverty may have played a role in the tragedy, explaining, “It was right after the war [in] Bulgaria. I don’t know how they would have afforded formula or something, but I’m sure they made ways.” 

Even so, she clarified that the baby “didn’t die from starvation,” but from an infection.

Rita Wilson Reflects On The Strange Family Coincidences

As Wilson processed the revelation, she began noticing eerie connections within her own family. 

Her nephew and her youngest son both share the same birthday as her father’s late son, December 26, something she described as deeply unsettling.

“This is where it gets weird. My sister’s firstborn child was born on December 26, and my youngest son was born on December 26,” she shared. 

The coincidence made her think about her father in a new way, imagining the quiet memories he may have carried each year. 

She reflected on how he celebrated those birthdays while privately remembering Emil, saying it made her see his life with a new level of empathy.

Rita Reflects On A Childhood Shaped By Silence And Strength 

Rita Wilson also spoke about the cultural and familial tendencies that may have contributed to the secrecy. 

She explained that her Greek Orthodox upbringing placed a strong emphasis on privacy, saying her family “kept things so private.” 

Looking back, she expressed a desire for more openness, adding, “I think if we were all more open with each other, then we all can see that we’re all in the same boat.”

Despite the hidden past, the “Jingle All The Way” star spoke with admiration about her parents and the life they built together after her father arrived in the United States. 

He later married her mother, Dorothy, and together they raised their children in Los Angeles with strong values rooted in hard work and resilience.

She described them as “uneducated, but they were incredibly smart and incredibly intuitive and very hardworking [and had] incredible values.” 

Rita credited her father for providing stability, noting that he supported the family as a bartender, bought a home, and lived debt-free. 

She also highlighted their long marriage, sharing that her parents were together for 59 years and created a loving, stable home.

Rita Wilson Shares Emotional Tributes And Life Today

Over the years, Rita has continued to honor her parents through heartfelt tributes. 

In one message she shared in 2024, she wrote per the Daily Mail, “Dad. Happy Heaven Birthday. You are so missed. I am so grateful for all you taught me about courage, hard work, devotion to family, generosity of spirit.” 

She also reflected on his journey from Bulgaria, writing, “My dad escaped communist Bulgaria for a life of freedom in America. His vision and courage continue to inspire me.”

She has also paid tribute to her mother, calling her “an extraordinary woman” and expressing gratitude for the love she received growing up. 

Today, Rita continues to balance her personal reflections with her career and family life. She has been married to Tom Hanks since 1988, and together they share two sons, while also raising Hanks’ children from his previous marriage.Looking ahead, Rita remains active in her work, with her upcoming film “Start Without Me” and her sixth studio album “Sound of a Woman” set for release.

Amber Heard’s life once revolved around red carpets, blockbuster films, and high-profile relationships. 

Now, everything looks very different. After years of intense public scrutiny and a bruising legal battle that dominated headlines, the actress has stepped away from Hollywood and into a much quieter world. 

Living far from the spotlight, she has rebuilt her routine around family, privacy, and a fresh start, one that reflects a dramatic shift from the fame that once defined her career.

Amber Heard’s departure from Hollywood followed the end of her widely covered defamation case with ex-husband Johnny Depp in 2022. 

The legal fight, which stemmed from her 2018 op-ed about alleged abuse, played out in front of a global audience and ultimately reshaped both of their public images. 

While Depp was awarded millions in damages, Heard also secured a smaller amount in her countersuit before both parties agreed to settle.

Speaking about her decision to settle, Heard said per the Daily Mail, “After a great deal of deliberation I have made a very difficult decision to settle the defamation case brought against me by my ex-husband in Virginia.” 

She made it clear that the process had taken a heavy toll, adding, “It’s important for me to say that I never chose this. I defended my truth and in doing so my life as I knew it was destroyed.” 

The 40-year-old also addressed the online reaction that followed, stating, “The vilification I have faced on social media is an amplified version of the ways in which women are re-victimized when they come forward.”

Heard Chooses Spain As A Fresh Start Away From Scrutiny

In the wake of the trial, Amber Heard made a deliberate move to leave the United States behind. 

She initially relocated to Mallorca, where she kept a low profile under a different name, before eventually settling in Madrid with her daughter, Oonagh Paige. 

The decision to move abroad was seen as a way to distance herself from the intense scrutiny she faced in America. 

A source explained her mindset at the time, telling PEOPLE, “The trial was beyond stressful, and she wanted to start fresh.”

The insider also noted that the “Aquaman” actress “has new energy and is focused on things that she loves.” 

Since moving to Madrid, Heard has built a quieter life in an upscale neighborhood where privacy is respected, allowing her to live without the constant attention she once faced.

Neighbors have observed how seamlessly she has blended into the community. One shared, “She wears a cap and sunglasses and normal clothes and keeps a low profile,” while also noting that the initial media attention surrounding her arrival has since faded. 

Over time, she has become just another resident in a neighborhood filled with high-profile individuals who value discretion.

Amber Heard Embraces A Simple Routine Centered On Family

Away from Hollywood, Heard’s daily life now revolves around her children and a more grounded routine. She has spoken openly about how stepping away from the spotlight has allowed her to focus fully on motherhood. 

In a previous interview on the “Today” show, she told Savanna Guthrie, “I get to be a mom full-time, where I’m not having to juggle calls with lawyers.”

Her daughter attends a local school in Madrid, and Heard is often seen going about everyday activities, from school runs to shopping trips. She has also made an effort to adapt to her surroundings, learning Spanish and engaging with the local culture.

Despite her efforts to stay out of the public eye, glimpses of her life still surface occasionally. Whether she is visiting local stores or spending time outdoors, her routine reflects a conscious effort to prioritize stability and normalcy for her family.

Heard Keeps A Low Profile While Adapting To Spanish Life

Beyond her home life, Amber Heard has gradually adapted to her surroundings in Madrid, embracing everyday routines that allow her to remain largely unnoticed. 

She has been seen running in El Retiro park, a popular spot in the city, and navigating public spaces with minimal attention compared to her life in the United States.

When she does encounter public interest, she keeps her responses brief and focused on maintaining boundaries. 

During one interaction with photographers, she said, “Thank you very much. It is my private life and I ask for respect.” 

Her routine also includes regular visits to local stores, including Taste of America, a supermarket that specializes in American products. 

An employee shared, “She comes here a lot in the afternoon with her little girl, my colleague has served them many times,” suggesting she still holds onto small pieces of home while adjusting to life abroad.

Amber Heard Expands Her Family And Shares Personal Milestones

As she settled into her new life, Heard also experienced major personal milestones. After welcoming her first child, she later revealed that she had expanded her family further. 

In an emotional message on Instagram, she shared, “Mother’s Day 2025 will be one I’ll never forget,” before announcing, “Today I officially share the news that I welcomed twins into the Heard gang. My daughter Agnes and my son Ocean are keeping my hands (and my heart) full.”

Reflecting on motherhood, she added, “When I had my first baby girl Oonagh four years ago, my world changed forever.”

Heard expressed even greater joy, adding, “I thought I couldn’t possibly burst with more joy. Well, now I am bursting times three!!!” 

She also described the deeper meaning behind her journey, explaining, “becoming a mother by myself and on my own terms despite my own fertility challenges has been the most humbling experience of my life.”

Jennifer Lawrence has never been one to chase trends, but somehow, she always ends up defining them. Her latest off-duty shoe moment is proof: stepping out in sneakers with a Mary Jane-style strap, she’s leaning into the “sneakerina” silhouette that feels equal parts polished and practical.

“Ballerina sneaker” is exactly what it sounds like: a hybrid shoe that merges the delicate look of a ballet flat with the comfort and functionality of a sneaker. Instead of the stiff, ultra-flat sole you’d get with traditional ballet flats, the ballerina sneakers are built with cushioned footbeds, flexible soles and supportive construction, so they feel closer to your everyday trainers — but look far more refined.

The Project Cloud Mary Jane Shoes hit that same “sneakerina” sweet spot Lawrence wore — delicate on the outside, comfortable underneath. The slim shape and Mary Jane-style strap give them that soft, ballet-inspired look, but they’re built with cushioned insoles and a flexible sole, so they feel more like your everyday sneakers than a typical flat.

Lawrence isn’t the only one co-signing the look. Nicole Kidman has also stepped out in similarly polished, comfort-first styles that tap into the same ballet-meets-sneaker aesthetic. The Project Cloud Mary Jane Shoes deliver the femininity of a ballet flat, the practicality of a sneaker and the kind of versatility that works for real life.
