Megan Thee Stallion Reassures Trinity During Emotional Casa Amor Episode

‘Love Island USA’ has completely taken over social media this month as a new group of islanders has entered the villa, hoping to find love and take home the show’s $100,000 grand prize.

Megan Thee Stallion is no stranger to the ‘Love Island USA’ fandom. The Houston rapper has been vocal about her love for the hit reality dating series and even made a surprise appearance during season 7.

This week also marks one of the season’s most anticipated twists: Casa Amor. During the challenge, the original couples are separated and introduced to an entirely new group of bombshells, putting their relationships to the ultimate test before deciding whether to recouple or stay loyal.

During Tuesday night’s episode, Trinity tugged at viewers’ heartstrings when she opened up about missing her partner, Bryce, while they were apart. Fighting back tears, she admitted she couldn’t stop thinking about what Bryce might be doing in the other villa and wondered whether the new girls were “badder” than she was.

The heartfelt moment even caught the attention of Megan Thee Stallion. She shared a photo of Trinity from the episode on her Instagram Story, placing a crown emoji above her head while offering words of reassurance. On her post, she wrote, “Nobody is badder than you, don’t worry. 🥹😍”

Rod Stewart is finally addressing the backlash he endured after he was spotted enjoying a World Cup match shortly after disappointing his fans.

The British icon was forced to cancel his June 12 shows due to health issues, leaving concertgoers in distress.

However, Stewart is now explaining what prompted his decision, saying he attended the event not for his satisfaction but for his family’s sake.

The “Maggie May” singer, for the first time since the scandal, spoke out about the criticism he endured, saying he wishes he hadn’t attended the game.

“I really shouldn’t have gone to the Haiti game,” Stewart told Talk Sport. “I had to cancel a show the night before because I just had no voice left.”

Although his shaky health was the reason behind terminating the show, the iconic singer noted he went to the soccer game mainly because of his two sons, Liam and Alastair.

“The truth is…I wasn’t going to let my two sons down. I promised them since they were born that we’re going to go to a World Cup, and this is the first one that’s come about.”

Nevertheless, Stewart has every intention of taking accountability for his error, admitting that “it wasn’t a good look.”

The Singer Followed Doctor’s Advice To Axe His Show

Hours before Stewart was set to take the stage at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheater, with a throng of fans queuing outside the venue, his team released a statement.

“On the advice of his doctors and following a diagnosis of an acute upper respiratory infection that has resulted in laryngitis, he is unable to take the stage this evening,” it read, per The Blast.

The London native also spoke out, explaining that while he got treatment for his condition and felt better, his voice just couldn’t come through.

Offering his apologies, Stewart noted he was “very disappointed.” He also canceled his show at the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater in Colorado, which was scheduled for June 15.

Rod Stewart Bashed For Traveling To Boston After Canceling Performance

As concertgoers still grappled with the disappointment, Stewart, on the other hand, flew to Boston to catch the Scotland vs Haiti match.

The 81-year-old took to Instagram to detail the adventure, sharing a video of himself and his two sons in a private jet. He gushed about having attended seven World Cups, while this was his children’s first.

Stewart was also photographed at the match, vibrantly celebrating when Scotland won. Unfortunately, his post only further angered fans, who slammed it as tone-deaf.

“Hey Rod, lost a little respect for you canceling your concert the night before, disappointing a stadium full of people,” one fan commented.

Another user wrote, “For someone who was sick enough to cancel his show last minute in San Diego yesterday, you sure seem hyped up enough to party with the boys in Boston today.”

The 81-Year-Old Almost Fainted While On Stage

After the series of canceled shows, Stewart made his comeback on stage at the Utah First Credit Union Amphitheater on Saturday, June 20.

Unfortunately, the concert wasn’t without a hitch as the singer’s health issue reared its ugly head. As The Blast reported, Stewart was seen evidently struggling while performing, causing him to stop and signal backstage for aid.

Immediately, a staff member rushed on stage with an oxygen tank out of which Stewart took a few puffs before turning to the crowd to say, “I nearly f-cking fainted.”

Concertgoers urged the legendary singer to take a break and attend to himself, but Stewart soldiered on, telling them nothing must disrupt the show. He, however, asked to sit on the stairs for the rest of the performance.

Was Rod Stewart’s Health Fail A ‘South Park’ Prophecy?

Stewart’s struggle on stage quickly went viral, and eagle-eyed fans pointed out that it seemed to be a case of life imitating art.

It turns out that an old episode of the beloved sitcom, “South Park,” predicted that the “Have You Ever Seen The Rain” singer would have a health episode while performing.

According to The Blast, in the 1999 episode titled “Are You There God? It’s me, Jesus.” Stewart was booked to perform on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas.

He appeared on stage in a wheelchair while struggling with bowel issues. Almost like the real-life Utah incident, the animated Stewart messed himself up, causing a nurse to rush on stage.

“I can’t believe they did this with Rod Stewart nearly 30 years ago on South Park,” a shocked fan declared.

The first reactions to Supergirl have arrived, and if the early buzz is any indication, DC may have another major success on its hands.

Critics and journalists who attended early screenings have praised the film’s emotional storytelling, stunning visuals, and, above all else, Milly Alcock’s performance as Kara Zor-El. Many are calling her portrayal one of the standout superhero performances in recent years, describing her Supergirl as fierce, vulnerable, rebellious, and deeply human.

Entertainment journalist Brandon Davis wrote that Supergirl is “a visually stunning and emotionally rich adventure” and praised Alcock for delivering a “star-making performance.” Others echoed that sentiment, saying she completely owns the role and creates a version of Kara that feels dramatically different from Superman while remaining just as compelling.

Several reactions have highlighted the film’s unique tone, noting that it feels less like a traditional superhero movie and more like a cosmic fantasy adventure. The story reportedly embraces the darker, more emotional elements of the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic, following Kara on an interstellar journey filled with loss, vengeance, and self-discovery.

One early reaction described the film as “heartbreaking, hilarious, and visually gorgeous,” while another praised director Craig Gillespie for creating a world that feels expansive and unlike anything previously seen in the DC Universe. Critics have also singled out the chemistry between Alcock and Eve Ridley, who plays Ruthye, saying their relationship forms the emotional core of the movie.

The praise surrounding Alcock has been especially consistent. In a recent profile, Gillespie praised the actress’s commitment and authenticity, while DC executives reportedly knew they had found their Supergirl after seeing her screen test. Her version of Kara is described as tougher, more emotionally scarred, and more rebellious than previous incarnations of the character.

That approach aligns closely with the film’s source material. Based on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the movie presents Kara not as an idealized hero, but as someone carrying the trauma of Krypton’s destruction while searching for her own purpose in the universe.

With Superman helping launch the new DC Universe and Supergirl now earning rave first reactions, fans have even more reason to be excited about the future of DC Studios.

If these early impressions hold true with audiences, Milly Alcock may have just delivered the definitive live-action Supergirl for a new generation.

Motor City is one of the most intriguing movies set to release in theaters this year. On the face of it, the film looks like your standard revenge thriller led by Reacher star Alan Ritchson, but that’s just barely scratching the surface when you really get down to it. Set to arrive in theaters on July 24, Motor City is going to rock our socks off, and the new trailer for the movie is one of the most fascinating we’ve seen in some time.

The film, set in 1970s Detroit and directed by Potsy Ponciroli, follows Ritchson’s John Miller, described as a “working class romantic” who is framed by a ruthless gangster for the crime of falling in love with his girlfriend. After being locked away for years, he returns home with agonizing and prolonged revenge on his mind for those who have wronged him. The movie is described as a “virtually silent” revenge saga, and given his experience as Reacher, we can’t help but agree that Ritchson is the ideal guy to let his heaving, hulking mass do a lot of the talking for him.

In addition to Ritchson, the cast includes Shailene Woodley (Big Little Lies, The Fault in Our Stars) as Sophia, Ben Foster (Hell or High Water, 3:10 to Yuma) as Reynolds, Pablo Schreiber (Halo, 13 Hours), Ben McKenzie (Gotham, The O.C.), Stephen Dorff (Blade, True Detective), and Amar Chadha-Patel (Willow, The Decameron) as Singh. Motor City is written by Chad St. John and features music by Jack White.

Alan Ritchson Will Surprise People in ‘Motor City’

Last year, Foster sat down with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff at the Toronto International Film Festival and spoke glowingly about working with Ritchson, adding that Motor City would allow him to show a new side of himself. “He’s very tall and very muscular, and he’s very handsome. He’s terrific as a mover. I think he wants to do some deeper work, or rather different kinds of work than he’s been doing, and that’s a joy.” Foster added that he felt the movie was “like a graphic novel,” and described it as a “rock disco revenge film,” saying:

“The film itself, Motor City — we just wrapped — is virtually a silent film. There are five lines of dialogue. Jack White is helping with the music, so it’s like a rock disco revenge film. It’s like a graphic novel, so it’ll be interesting to see how that shakes out.”

Independent Film Company will release Motor City in theaters on July 24. Check out the trailer above.

Dean Bell may have traded roses for road trips, but the former Bachelor Nation star isn’t ruling out a return to reality television anytime soon. Bell, who recently partnered with Chevron to encourage Americans to hit the road this summer, opened up to The Blast about life after reality TV, his evolving definition of success, and why he’d jump at the right opportunity that came along. While discussing his upcoming travel plans and his passion for exploring new destinations, Dean Bell revealed that despite stepping away from the reality TV spotlight, he still has plenty of interest in returning to the genre.

When asked whether he would consider joining another reality show if a producer called tomorrow, Bell didn’t hesitate. “100%,” he told The Blast.

Although Bell admitted he doesn’t spend much time watching reality television these days, there are a handful of programs that have caught his attention. One show in particular has become a frequent topic of conversation between Bell and his wife, fellow Bachelor Nation alum Caelynn Miller-Keyes. “Caelynn really wants us to go on ‘Extracted,’” Bell said with a laugh.

The survival competition series places one contestant in the wilderness while family members or loved ones help guide them from a remote headquarters. “I was like, ‘Yeah, of course you want to do that. You’re going to be in HQ in air conditioning and eating three square meals a day while I’m surviving in the middle of nowhere,’” he joked.

Bell also revealed that another fan-favorite reality competition show is firmly on his radar. “My buddy Wells [Adams] has been on ‘Traitors.’ ‘Traitors’ seems like it’d be really fun,” he said.

While no offers are currently on the table, Bell made it clear that he remains open to future opportunities. “There’s a lot of shows that I would instantly say yes to,” he said.

His Definition Of Success Has Changed Since Bachelor Nation

Bell first rose to fame through the Bachelor franchise, where success often seemed tied to popularity, public perception, and social media growth. Today, however, his outlook couldn’t be more different.

Looking back, Bell said he once viewed success through a much narrower lens. “When I went into reality TV, success was very clear-cut,” he explained. “Popularity, finances, love life, all those types of things.”

Over time, his priorities shifted. “As long as I have people in my life that love me and I love them back, that’s success to me,” Bell said.

The reality star acknowledged that his current perspective comes from a place of gratitude, having found love, built a marriage, and created a life he genuinely enjoys. “I got lucky at the end of the day,” he admitted. “I fell in love, I got married, I moved to a place I love so much.”

Bell also shared one piece of advice he wishes he’d understood earlier in life: people aren’t paying nearly as much attention to your mistakes as you think they are. “I used to put a pretty big weight on what people thought,” he said. “People don’t care nearly as much as we make ourselves think that they do.”

A 20-Hour Road Trip Confirmed His Feelings For Caelynn

DC Studios made one of its biggest animation announcements yet during the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, officially revealing three brand-new animated series: Absolute Batman, Joker: Laugh Riot, and Krypto. The projects were unveiled by DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran alongside Warner Bros. Animation, signaling a major expansion of the studio’s animated slate.

Each series offers a completely different take on the DC Universe, ranging from mature storytelling to family-friendly adventures.

Absolute Batman Brings DC’s Best-Selling Comic to Animation

Perhaps the biggest reveal of the showcase was Absolute Batman, an adult animated adaptation of the hit comic series from Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta.

Rather than following the traditional version of Bruce Wayne, Absolute Batman reimagines the Dark Knight as a working-class hero with none of the wealth, mansion, or high-tech advantages fans have come to expect. The series will adapt the darker, grounded “Absolute Universe” that quickly became one of DC’s biggest publishing successes.

Scott Snyder will serve as executive producer and showrunner, while Nick Dragotta joins the project as a producer. According to DC, the series asks a simple question:

“When you take away the manor, the money, and the advantages… what’s left is Batman.”

Joker: Laugh Riot Gives the Clown Prince His Own Anime

One of the biggest surprises was Joker: Laugh Riot, an adult anime series being produced with Japanese animation studio SOLA Entertainment.

The premise completely flips the traditional Batman/Joker dynamic.

After Batman is murdered, the Joker launches a violent campaign across Gotham’s criminal underworld to hunt down whoever killed his greatest enemy. As his investigation unfolds, Joker begins drifting closer to becoming a vigilante than a villain, forcing him to question who he really is without Batman.

The series will be directed by Yasuhiro Aoki with Jim Krieg serving as executive producer.

It’s one of the boldest concepts DC has announced in years and marks the company’s newest push into anime storytelling.

Krypto Targets a Younger Audience

Balancing the darker projects is Krypto, a family-oriented animated series centered on Superman’s loyal canine companion.

Created by C.H. Greenblatt (Chowder), the show follows Krypto as he accidentally becomes involved with a group of aspiring criminals. Instead of helping them commit crimes, Superman’s best friend gradually teaches the gang how to become better people.

The series appears aimed squarely at younger viewers while maintaining the humor that Greenblatt is known for.

DC Continues Expanding Its Animation Slate

The announcements demonstrate that DC Studios isn’t relying on a single animation style or audience.

Between mature comic adaptations like Absolute Batman, experimental projects like Joker: Laugh Riot, and all-ages shows like Krypto, the studio appears committed to offering something for every kind of DC fan.

With James Gunn and Peter Safran continuing to build DC’s future across film, television, and animation, today’s reveal suggests animation will remain a major pillar of the new DC era.

Ed Kelce is gushing over his future daughter-in-law, Taylor Swift, as the celebrity wedding of the year looms.

“I am super excited,” he said of the upcoming nuptials between Swift and his son, Travis Kelce, in an interview with Fox 29 Philadelphia on Wednesday, June 24.

“She is a sweetheart that is truly the girl next door, just like Kylie,” he added, referring to eldest son Jason Kelce’s wife, Kylie Kelce.

Ed, 75, was on hand to support Jason at his annual Team 62 Fundraiser in Sea City Isle, New Jersey.

Taylor and Travis, both 36, announced their engagement in August 2025 and are rumored to be marrying at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the July 4 weekend.

“Travis actually did the proposal, oh, maybe two weeks, not quite two weeks ago,” Ed told ABC affiliate News 5 Cleveland last August. “He was going to put it off till this week … but he was going to put her off till this week to, you know, make some grand thing, to make it a big, special event.”

Ed continued, “And I told him repeatedly, you know, you could do it on the side of the road, do it any place that makes it a special event … when you get down on one knee and ask her to marry you.”

“He got her out there, they were about to go out to dinner, and he said, ‘Let’s go out and have a glass of wine.’ … They got out there, and that’s when he asked her, and it was beautiful,” Ed said of Travis’ serene garden proposal at his home in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. “They started FaceTiming me and their mother and her folks to make sure everybody knew. So, to see them together is great.”

Kyle Cooke shared his reaction to West Wilson’s Summer House exit — and it’s surprising, to say the least.

“It’s unfortunate,” Kyle, 43, said on the Wednesday, June 24, episode of Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” podcast. “It was [only] months ago that I considered him a friend.”

Kyle’s Summer House costar Lindsay Hubbard, however, had a more blunt reaction to the news.

“I’m fine with it,” she said.

West Wilson’s exit from Summer House isn’t a surprise to a large number of Bravo fans after his controversial relationship with Amanda Batula shook the cast to its core — but how did the arguably inevitable goodbye all go down? “It was a mutual decision between the network and West,” a source exclusively tells Us […]

Us Weekly exclusively broke the news that West, 31, will not be returning to film Summer House season 11 following his controversial relationship with Kyle’s ex, Amanda Batula. (West previously dated costar Ciara Miller.)

“West isn’t coming back,” a source told Us earlier in June. “He could still make an appearance on Summer House or [Amanda’s spinoff show] In the City in the future, especially if things with Amanda progress, but he’s not a cast member this season.”

“[West was] already feeling like his time on the show was coming to an end,” another insider said. “It became even clearer that there wasn’t a long-term fit anymore. He is at peace with the decision and is focusing on his podcast and other business ventures.”

West confirmed the news on Wednesday, telling the Broadcast Boys on Instagram, “I wanted to tell it on my own but that [exit rumor] is true. In [Bravo’s] defense, I don’t think it would have been a fun summer.”

Kyle said on Wednesday, “That’s the big conundrum.”

“I think that’s what we’re trying to figure out,” Lindsay, 39, added. “In the City films in the fall. We just have to see how this plays out. It’ll probably come down to the wire.”

Kyle also spoke about his conversation with West during the Summer House: The Aftermath bonus episode, which was filmed in May and aired last week on Bravo as an addendum to season 10. In the episode, Kyle confronted West about the origins of his relationship with Amanda, from whom Kyle announced his separation in January.

“I’m glad we did it because I don’t want someone to think I won’t film, I won’t give them the chance … have the last word, I don’t care,” the Loverboy founder said. “But I look back on that and, yeah, that was a three-hour helicopter ride where we just talked in circles.”

West and Amanda confirmed that their friendship had turned romantic in a joint Instagram statement in March.

“Our connection grew out of a genuine, longstanding friendship, which made it especially important for us to approach this with care,” they wrote at the time. “As our feelings evolved, we wanted to take time to understand exactly what we were feeling. We also recognize that this has had an impact beyond just us and never wanted our actions to cause any hurt or be perceived as careless. We truly appreciate the understanding and respect as we navigate this.”
