Star Wars used to be the end-all, be-all in space sci-fi, but in the years since the original trilogy, others have rushed in to fill the void left by its waning popularity. Whether you love new Star Wars or hate it, you’d probably still love more of that old-school Star Wars vibe. Luckily, there’s a way to get it.

We set out to determine which non-Star Wars movies and TV shows most capture the feel of Star Wars, while at the same time delivering the best possible spectacle and story. It’s not just a ranking of which entry is best. If it were, then Babylon 5 would be a lot closer to the top.

Watch the video version of this article.

These are the 18 best sci-fis that are most like Star Wars, without actually being Star Wars.

18. Jupiter Ascending

Jupiter Ascending is the only entry on this list that includes Channing Tatum playing a half-man/half-dog. There’s no hiding the fact that Jupiter Ascending is a strange movie. It was supposed to be the Wachowskis grand return to sci-fi cinema, but instead, it’s a glorious mess.

Mila Kunis plays Jupiter, a housekeeper and secretly the Queen of Earth. The forces of House Abrasax, led by Balem, want to stop her from claiming her legacy. Eddie Redmayne’s performance as the villain may make you think he wandered in off a different, far more serious movie, but no, that’s just how uneven the tone is.

For all of its faults, Jupiter Ascending was a throwback in 2015 to the 90s-style of sci-fi that tossed you into a strange, wonderful world, and dared you to try and keep up with it. The film doesn’t work; it’s barely coherent, visually confusing, and the acting is… questionable. And yet, Jupiter Ascending dared to be weird, it tried to do something different, and a decade of sanitized, by-the-numbers sci-fi later, it’s worth checking out for anyone sick and tired of movies developed by committee.

17. Rebel Moon

Zack Snyder wanted to make a Star Wars film, but Disney said no, so he went to Netflix and made Rebel Moon. Sometimes it really is that simple. George Lucas used Akira Kurosawa’s Hidden Fortress as inspiration for A New Hope, and Snyder used Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai as inspiration for Rebel Moon.

Adapting Seven Samurai is always a recipe for success. It’s a great story. A few holding out against all odds against the many? Rebel Moon is a handful against a battalion.

It’s one of Netflix’s most expensive original movies. The streaming giant gave Snyder a blank check, and it looks like it. Rebel Moon is near the bottom of this list for a reason, but it’s worth checking out once, if for no other reason than to see Zach Snyder’s vision for Star Wars, but it’s a bit of a drag with uneven pacing and the patron saint of bad movies, Charlie Hunnam.

You can also experience the sequel, The Scargiver, which was so bad that Netflix yanked the black check out of Snyder’s hands before he could utter the words, “Trilogy.”

16. Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets

Few people in Hollywood can match the visual style of French director Luc Besson. He brought to life The Fifth Element and Scarlett Johansson’s Lucy, but his most beautiful film is Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets. Based on a French comic series, the film is packed full of stunning visuals; each world on its own would be the highlight of any other movie, but here, it’s just scene 5.

Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne lead the cast as Federation Soldiers sucked into a decades-old conspiracy around a missing planet. The massive space station Alpha is home to over 3,000 alien species, and maintaining peace among them is a dangerous balancing act. In Valerian, the focus isn’t on Babylon 5-style politics, but on exploring different worlds and coming across a new alien species every 10 minutes, making the film a visual masterpiece.

If your favorite part of Star Wars is the constant parade of unique and strange background aliens, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is the perfect movie for you.

15. Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

The success of Star Wars in 1977 took Hollywood by surprise and started a scramble for the next big sci-fi hit. Universal Pictures pulled the old Buck Rogers license out of mothballs and turned it into a television series, but then, six months after the series had debuted, the television pilot hit theaters as a standalone movie.

That sounds convoluted, but then again, so does everything when it comes to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, a film that put trade negotiations front and center decades before The Phantom Menace. NASA astronaut Buck Rogers emerges from suspended animation in the 25th century and immediately finds himself in the middle of trouble between the remaining humans on Earth, living in New Chicago, and the Draconians, an alien species secretly plotting to conquer the planet.

The movie is again a pilot for the two-season television series, which started with Buck as a defender of New Chicago and, in season two, had him roaming the galaxy with his crew to find the lost tribes of humanity. If you were to mash the Star Wars prequels against Flash Gordon, you’d get Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

14. Babylon 5

If your favorite part of Star Wars was the Galactic Senate from the prequels, then there’s a 90s sci-fi series for you. Babylon 5 puts the focus on intergalactic politics in a way no show has before, or since. Set on a space station that houses countless alien species, all with their own goals, motivations, and ancient grudges, it’s sci-fi for the most hardcore of sci-fi fans.

The show starts off with an attempted assassination on the Vorlon ambassador, Kosh, and Babylon 5’s commander, Jeffrey Sinclair, is the prime suspect. It’s a quaint beginning for a show that would eventually culminate in one of the best sci-fi wars ever shown on a television budget. Unlike every other show on this list, Babylon 5 was plotted from the very beginning to tell a single, cohesive story over 5 seasons.

That right there puts it above The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker, two feature films that couldn’t agree on what story the sequel trilogy was trying to tell.

13. Krull

It was one of the largest box office bombs in history. For decades, it was the butt of jokes. But Krull had the last laugh. Combining science fiction with fantasy, a simple rescue-the-princess plot alongside one of the coolest weapons in movie history, Krull became a cult classic.

After The Beast interrupts Prince Colwyn’s wedding to Princess Lyssa, he sets off on a quest to win her back. The only thing in his way is the Beast’s mountainous Black Fortress and an army of Slayers. All Colwyn has is a band of magicians, thieves, including a young Liam Neeson, and a cyclops.

The special effects don’t hold up today, the plot is as basic as it gets, but there’s no denying that Krull is a fun movie. Sometimes you don’t need 30 minutes of worldbuilding and exposition; all you need is a quest to slay an evil warlord and rescue a princess.

12. Killjoys

Say “sci-fi western” and most people think of The Mandalorian, or Firefly, but there has to be someone, at least one person out there, who thinks of Killjoys. The Canadian Sci-Fi original series aired for 5 seasons, from 2014 to 2019, and you didn’t watch a single one.

Dutch, Johnny, and Da’vin work as bounty hunters, and these three are professionals, so they don’t disintegrate any of their targets. Looking at you, Boba Fett. Over the course of 50 episodes, the trio unravels the mysteries of the universe, upends the delicate political structure, and end up saving the universe. A few times.

When Star Wars fans were excited over the video game Star Wars: Outlaws, or the canceled 1313, what they wanted was a game that plays like Killjoys. It’s a sci-fi western about characters who aren’t exactly heroes, but unlike that other show, this one was able to tell a complete story. That and you have to love a show that uses the name, Team Awesome Force.

11. Stargate

It’s hard to remember now, but for most of the 80s and 90s, Star Wars wasn’t a pop culture juggernaut; it was something nerds loved. During that dark period, studios tried to create their own Star Wars-style sci-fi franchises, and of all of them, Stargate found the most success. It all began with the 1995 Roland Emmerich film that sent the U.S. military through a portal to battle an Egyptian God. Surprise. It’s an alien.

Unlike other movies on this list that throw an endless string of nonsense names and deep, unfathomable lore at viewers within the first 30 seconds, Stargate takes its time to explain what’s going on (there’s a strange portal, they go through it), why it’s important (can Ra invade Earth from his side?), and teases at why the aliens all look like they came out of Ancient Egypt.

Stargate introduced moviegoers to a universe of infinite possibilities, and for once, it paid off with the launch of the television franchise (does this sound familiar?). Between Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and Stargate Universe, there are 17 seasons of amazing sci-fi adventure television waiting to be discovered. Best of all, there’s a new series coming to Amazon Prime. The Stargate is opening again and now’s the time to step through.

10. The Last Starfighter

It’s every kid’s dream. After countless hours playing a video game, it becomes real, and you get to save the universe. 1984’s The Last Starfighter is pure wish fulfillment, and it’s awesome.

Like Star Wars: A New Hope, it follows the classic hero’s journey format. Only, instead of growing up in the desert, our future hero fighter pilot grows up in a trailer park.

Teenager Alex Rogan earns the high score in the arcade game Starfighter, not realizing it was developed by an undercover alien to locate warriors to save his planet. Alex goes from living in a trailer park to flying a real spaceship against real aliens in the span of 48 hours.

The greatest tragedy about The Last Starfighter is that we never received a legacy sequel. 40 years later, video games are more popular than ever before. A modern-day remake would be a license to print money. Sci-fi can be wish fulfillment that exists for no other reason than to be fun and make you happy. To this day, nothing hits that mark quite like The Last Starfighter.

9. The Fifth Element

One of Bruce Willis’s best movies, The Fifth Element launched the career of Milla Jovovich, helped turn Chris Tucker into a star, and proved that well-written, visually-stunning sci-fi could become a blockbuster even in the jaded culture of the 90s. By 1997, caring about things and earnestness was considered uncool, which became a plot point in Luc Besson’s sci-fi magnum opus. How The Fifth Element earned over $290 million at the box office, and millions more through DVD sales, should be studied by upcoming filmmakers.

The Fifth Element turned a futuristic cabbie into an unlikely savior when the reincarnation of a forgotten alien species lands on the hood of his cab. Together, the two have to stop The Great Evil from consuming Earth by overcoming Zorg, a greedy billionaire who might be the creepiest sci-fi villain of the 90s thanks to Gary Oldman’s scenery-chewing performance.

Few films to this day are as manic as The Fifth Element, which deserves to be right up there on every sci-fi fan’s Mt. Rushmore and, in the process, delivers some of the same kinds of space thrills as Star Wars.

8. Flash Gordon

Besides the amazing soundtrack provided by Queen, Flash Gordon is the most American sci-fi movie you’ll ever come across. A quarterback saves the universe using his football skills to take down a unit of elite guards? How awesome is that?

Star Wars was inspired by the serials of the 1930s, and Flash Gordon was one of those serials. But it started out as a comic strip, and you can tell. The villain’s name is Ming the Merciless, all the visual designs are old-school pre-Star Wars sci-fi, and again, the hero’s name is Flash Gordon. This is pure camp, and that’s before you get to the legendary overacting of Brian Blessed as Vultan!

The tropes, designs, and plot beats of Flash Gordon make it required viewing for all sci-fi fans, and it has the same DNA as Star Wars. You can’t appreciate how far science fiction has come if you don’t know where it started. Flash Gordon is a love letter to the genre’s pulp roots, and honestly, you wish more films were made today in the retro-futuristic style. Ming the Merciless may be corny, but the man’s rizz is unmatched.

7. John Carter

In a just world, John Carter would have been the start of a retro-futuristic sci-fi franchise to rival Star Wars in scale and scope. Taylor Kitsch should have become a superstar. John Carter is a fantastic movie that bombed hard because Disney had no idea how to market it.

Adapting the classic sci-fi pulp novel, A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the same man who created Tarzan, John Carter looks fantastic, and the story of a Civil War soldier sent to Mars is a straight-up crowd-pleaser. Unfortunately, the limited crowds that went to see it weren’t enough to make it a success.

John Carter’s Mars vistas stretch on forever, but that beauty came with a hefty price tag. The film needed to earn $600 million to break even. It earned $300 million. Disney lost hundreds of millions of dollars and decided instead of turning John Carter into a sci-fi franchise, they’d go out and buy one.

Three years later, Disney bought Star Wars.

Now do you wish you had seen Taylor Kitsch’s cult hit in theaters when you had the chance?

6. Farscape

Star Wars has shifted gears in the last few years, becoming a streaming franchise. It’s playing catch-up behind the 90s and early 2000’s series Farscape, which perfected the serialized formula of ragtag heroes going up against an oppressive government. Farscape is clearly influenced by the original trilogy, right down to having Jim Henson’s Creatureworks provide puppets, but that’s not a bad thing.

Farscape starts off with human astronaut John Crichton surviving a trip through a wormhole and winding up on the far side of the galaxy. He quickly learns to get along with the escaped convicts Ka D’Argo, Zhaan, and Rygel on board a living spaceship, the Moya, as they try to stay one step ahead of the corrupt Peacekeepers. Later on, the leather-clad villain Scorpius comes after Crichton for his hidden knowledge of wormholes, and this all leads to Crichton being split into two separate versions: an imaginary Scorpius living in his head, the organic spaceship giving birth, and a constant struggle to survive when it feels the entire universe is out to get them.

If you liked the original trilogy, and even if you liked Guardians of the Galaxy, you need to fire up Farscape and start binging it right now. This is everything fans wanted out of a Star Wars streaming series.

Welcome To The Top 5

Congratulations, you’ve reached the top five, and things are about to get really fun. Keep in mind that this list is ranked by two criteria: how much something is like Star Wars and how good it is.

It’s an average of the two factors, which can result in all kinds of ranking weirdness, especially in the lower levels of this list. These are the 5 best Star Wars sci-fis that aren’t Star Wars at all.

5. Predator: Badlands

Remember when Chewbacca carried C3-PO on his back? How the mismatched characters played off of each other? Turn that into a survival story on an alien planet where everything is trying to kill them, and you get Predator: Badlands, the latest in the long-running franchise.

Dek is a Predator who heads off to a planet in order to hunt down the apex predator. A Weyland-Yutani android is the only survivor of an encounter with the beast. Only the top half of her body survived. Dek straps her to his back, and together, they navigate a world where everything is trying to kill them.

It has the feel of a Star Wars novel in the best way possible. It’s easy to imagine a Wookie and a droid having to navigate a planet similar to Genna. Predator: Badlands lacks the size and scope of a Star Wars film, but it’s an absolute blast from start to finish. All it takes is one setting, two characters, and a horde of bizarre alien lifeforms that make the Rancor look like a puppy.

4. Firefly

The Mandalorian was praised for taking Star Wars in a bold new direction: Space Western. Well, why not take some time and enjoy the series that put space westerns on the map? Firefly is still the greatest one-season sci-fi series of all time, and the sequel film, Serenity, is the perfect ending to the crew’s story.

Out on the edge of the known galaxy, Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his crew pick up odd jobs, carrying cows, protecting a brothel, whatever they have to do to get enough gas to keep flying. Imagine the adventures of smuggler Han Solo under the watchful eye of the Empire, and that’s Firefly, only with no aliens, more cowboy hats, and more jokes.

A new animated series is on the way, set between the end of Season 1 and Serenity, making this the best time to get caught up on the space western that paved the way for The Mandalorian.

3. Dune

David Lynch’s Dune is an underrated masterpiece, but Denis Villeneuve’s modern adaptation turned the classic sci-fi novel into a blockbuster. 12 years before Star Wars, author Frank Herbert took sci-fi fans to the planet of Arakkis, the center of intergalactic politics and trade, thanks to the miracle mineral: Spice. Imagine if Tattooine was important for any reason other than its abundance of Skywalkers, and that’s Arakkis.

It even has a chosen one, destined to reshape the galaxy. Paul Atreides is the hero that Anakin Skywalker wishes he could be. Paul liberates his planet, unites a people, has twins destined to be even greater than him, and doesn’t become a villain. In the first two movies.

Star Wars is more of a space fantasy than hard sci-fi, but Dune isn’t afraid to get weird. Later books include human/sandworm hybrid that lives for thousands of years and rules over the galaxy. Oddly, that’s not as strange as it gets.

2. The Expanse

A grounded, hard sci-fi series might not seem like it would have much in common with Star Wars, but The Expanse centers around a ragtag group of misfits on a medium size ship flying around saving the Galaxy.

It’s based on a series of books set in a not-too-distant future where humanity has colonized the solar system. Earth, Mars, and the asteroid belt are locked in political tension, and a crew of unlikely allies gets pulled into events that reshape civilization.

Despite being a totally different type of space sci-fi from Star Wars, The Expanse pulls off the crew of the Millennium Falcon against the universe vibe better than anything has since The Empire Strikes Back. Ride shotgun with the crew of the Rocinante as they battle to save the solar system from threats not inside and out, on one of the best sci-fi shows ever produced.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Galaxy is so much fun, it turned a dancing tree into the hottest Christmas toy. Comic fans knew how strange and bizarre the cosmic side of Marvel was, but in 2014, the general public took a trip to Knowhere and had their minds blown for the first time since they stepped foot inside a hive of scum and villainy.

The colorful cast even brings to mind the original trilogy, except both Star-Lord and Rocket are Han Solo, Gamora is Leia’s intrusive thoughts given physical form, Drax is C-3PO, Groot is R2-D2, and Mantis is… there.

The Guardians trilogy is among the very best of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and any one of them could be someone’s favorite movie, and you know what, sure. It’s fun, and it’s awesome. Each one of them reveals another strange corner of the galaxy, and while yes, Adam Warlock was wasted, the thrill of what comes next is only comparable to the original trilogy.

Spencer Pratt Claps Back Over Controversial Mayor Race Ad

Published

Spencer Pratt has fired back at criticism of a new attack ad in his Los Angeles mayoral campaign.

On Wednesday, April 29, the former Hills star released a campaign ad filmed outside the homes of two of his opponents in the upcoming mayoral primary: current Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman.

The campaign commercial racked up nearly 11 million viewers within two days of its release and has been praised as game-changing by Pratt’s supporters. Raman, however, condemned Pratt for filming outside her home, calling it an “unnecessary and reckless” political stunt, while Mayor Bass accused her rival of doing his “best Trump impression.”

The controversy erupted during a sharp uptick in Pratt’s fundraising — including an infusion of cash from former Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss — and rising poll numbers, as well as numerous celebrity endorsements.

Keep scrolling for Pratt’s response to the controversial ad and more about the backlash.

Why Is Spencer Pratt’s New Ad Controversial?

Pratt dropped the attack ad on April 29, tagging it with a reference to Kendrick Lamar’s 2024 hit “Not Like Us.” The clip opens with him standing outside of Mayor Bass and Raman’s L.A.-area homes.

“This is where Mayor Bass lives. Notice something? Or here, where Nithya Raman’s $3 million mansion sits,” he says. “They don’t have to live in the mess they’ve created.”

The ad then cuts to Spencer standing outside the trailer where he has lived with his wife, Heidi Montag, and their two children since their home burned down in the 2025 Palisade Fire.

“This is where I live. They let my home burn down,” Pratt declares. “I know what the consequences of failed leadership are. That’s why I’m running for mayor, for my sons and the rest of us Angelenos who want to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying our city. We are going to get the golden age of Los Angeles back.”

The hard-hitting content of the ad led to former View panellist Meghan McCain predicting that Pratt will win the mayoral race. The Challenge’s Johnny Bananas shared the ad via X, adding, “That’s my mayor 🤘.”

How Did Nithya Raman Respond to Spencer Pratt’s Ad?

The Los Angeles City Councilmember exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, April 30, that Pratt’s filming outside of her home was irresponsible.

“Filming outside my home, where I live with my young children, feels unnecessary and reckless,” Raman exclusively told Us via a “Nithya for Mayor” campaign spokesperson.

Raman has previously urged Los Angeles voters not to laugh off Pratt’s mayoral campaign.

“Spencer Pratt’s run for mayor is no joke. He’s a MAGA Republican who has vowed to work with ICE & end L.A.’s sanctuary city ordinance,” Raman tweeted on Monday, April 27. “He is a threat to Los Angeles and the immigrants who built their lives here.”

In February, Pratt confirmed that, if elected, he planned to work with the federal government on immigration enforcement in Los Angeles.

“Karen Bass’ open defiance of federal law for political gain has created confusion, tension and instability,” he said. “When I am mayor, I will work directly with the federal government in a firm but humane way with a clear focus on public safety. Violent criminals will be removed from our streets and law-abiding, hard-working families will live without fear.”

Did Spencer Pratt Clap Back at Nithya Raman?

Pratt dismissed Raman’s criticism of his controversial campaign ad by suggesting that she was simply “validating” the premise of his political attack.

“Nithya just validating the entire premise of our commercial,” he tweeted on April 30. “She doesn’t care if there’s homeless drug addicts in front of your home, in front of your kids school, but God help her if a man in a suit takes a picture on the public street for two minutes.”

How Did Mayor Karen Bass Respond to Spencer Pratt’s Attack Ad?

A spokesperson for Mayor Bass released a statement to Us on Friday, May 1, in which she likened Pratt’s bravado to that of President Donald Trump.

“Spencer is doing his best Trump impression but it’s not going to work in L.A.,” her rep told Us.

What Is Next in the L.A. Mayoral Race?

A primary election will be held Tuesday, June 2. If no candidate receives a majority of the vote, a runoff election will take place Tuesday, November 3.

Kim Zolciak Temporarily Loses Custody of Kids With Ex Kroy

Published

Kim Zolciak has temporarily lost physical custody of her kids with ex Kroy Biermann amid their messy divorce battle.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, a Georgia judge ruled that Biermann, 40, would have primary physical custody of their kids K.J., 14, Kash, 13, and twins Kaia and Kane, 12. (Zolciak, 47, is also the mom of daughters Brielle, 29, whom Biermann legally adopted in 2013, and Ariana, 24, whom she shares with ex-husband Daniel Toce.)

The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum will have limited parenting time with her four minor children every other weekend, the outlet noted.

Per the judge’s order, Zolciak and Biermann will reportedly continue to share joint legal custody of the kids, while Biermann will have final say on educational, non-emergency medical and religious decisions.

“The senior judge’s decision from April 29 is temporary until we return to court as soon as possible when we will have the opportunity for a full hearing,” Zolciak told Us in a statement. “The new order was the result of an alleged emergency motion filed by Kroy to ensure the matter was heard by a senior judge instead of our duly elected assigned judge, who has never granted Kroy an immediate hearing despite him filing three separate (false) motions against me.”

She continued, “The decision rendered by the senior judge was largely the result of a flawed investigation by a guardian ad litem who has not spoken to me in over a year (until a brief call with me and my attorney on April 28), or my boys since April of 2025 aside from a brief 15 minute meeting in July of 2025. While I want this process to be over for my children more than anything, I am looking forward to a full court date when we will finally be provided with an opportunity to present the truth.”

TMZ was first to report the news.

In April, Biermann filed an emergency motion accusing his ex of neglect and claiming that she is “more selfishly concerned with her own image and her work options” than their kids. He also alleged that Zolciak is “unstable and unfit” to parent and requested an emergency hearing to change custody.

Zolciak and Biermann have been entangled in a messy legal battle since the Bravolebrity filed for divorce in May 2023. Though the pair briefly reconciled a few months later, the divorce was back on by August 2023.

In late March, Biermann requested sole custody of their minor children after the pair had previously agreed to a joint custody arrangement, according to court docs obtained by Us at the time. He claimed that Zolciak had exhibited “blatant mismanagement of basic parenting responsibilities would be practically unbelievable to anyone not familiar with the circumstances.”

In response to the filing, Zolciak told Us, “These accusations are completely false and nothing more than a deliberate attempt by Kroy to defame my character. I spent five weeks away working on two TV shows to support my family and make sure my children are cared for — something I will never apologize for. I refuse to be bullied or have lies twisted into a narrative about who I am. I will not stay silent; the truth is on my side, and it will come to light — no matter how hard anyone tries to bury it.”

A judge ultimately approved a temporary parenting plan where the kids would remain in Biermann’s physical custody until Zolciak completed four sessions of parent therapy no earlier than April 13. After she completed the sessions, the exes would “resume operation under the existing court-ordered parenting plan, which otherwise remains in full force and effect until further agreement and/or modification by this court.”

Zolciak clarified via Instagram on April 3 that she had “not lost custody of my children, nor has there been any modification to the custody arrangement.”

“I signed a temporary custody order at the end of January. The order clearly states that both the mother and father are to participate in two counseling sessions per month for two months, followed by one session per month thereafter. I was out of the country from February 26 through March 28 due to contractual filming obligations on two separate productions,” she wrote.

Zolciak continued, “During that time, I did not have a single day off, making it impossible to attend the required counseling sessions. Kroy as of today (I had KJ and Kash up until 5pm today) currently has the children for spring break, which is his designated parenting time under the existing agreement. I am scheduled to resume my parenting time when the children return on Friday. My counseling sessions are scheduled and will be completed next week.”

The mom of six concluded, “For the avoidance of any doubt, I have not lost custody of my children, nor has there been any modification to the custody arrangement outside the agreed upon temporary order.”

Jennifer Lawrence’s Infamously Raunchy, Extremely R-Rated Comedy Is Suddenly Topping Streaming Charts

Jennifer Lawrence's Infamously Raunchy, Extremely R-Rated Comedy Is Suddenly Topping Streaming Charts

By Robert Scucci
| Published 59 seconds ago

Jennifer Lawrence chose 2023 to try to make the jump into comedy with her extremely R-rated comedy, No Hard Feelings. Her timing was off; adult comedy hadn’t yet made a comeback, and the movie was a massive flop.

Three years later, No Hard Feelings is finally getting the attention it deserves. The R-Rated comedy is among the top 10 most-watched movies on HBO Max in the United States, ready and waiting for you to stream. I hit play, and can confirm it’s worth a watch.

More Than Just A Raunch-Com

I’d heard great things and decided to give it a go because it fell into the right genre. Previously, I’ve only really seen Lawrence perform in comedy-adjacent dramatic roles like American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook. I knew she was funny when she made appearances on talk shows, but I didn’t know she had it in her to be so off-the-wall as in this movie.

Despite its raunchy reputation, there’s more here than you’d expect. I’ll definitely be recommending No Hard Feelings to my wife because I also need a break from the bender that she’s currently on, which involves a gratuitous amount of Gilmore Girls and Grey’s Anatomy.

A Refreshing Romantic Comedy

No Hard Feelings is a by-the-numbers romantic comedy, but a refreshing one because it has a female protagonist. More often than not, the questionable behavior (stalking) acted out in this type of movie is carried out by a guy who’s trying to get a girl to like him. What’s more, its R rating opens the door to some pretty raunchy sequences, which elevate the humor because the 12-year-old in me still finds an inappropriate amount of cursing in this context hilarious.

As one would expect, the plot to No Hard Feelings leaves very little room for interpretation because you’re just supposed to enjoy its slapstick humor. Jennifer Lawrence‘s Maddie Barker is a down-on-her-luck bartender and Uber driver who finds herself in a bind after her car gets repossessed because she hasn’t been paying the property taxes on the house she inherited from her deceased mother.

Facing bankruptcy, she finds two helicopter parents (portrayed by Matthew Broderick and Laura Benanti) on Craigslist who are willing to part ways with a Buick Regal if she can get their shy and awkward son, Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), out of his shell before shipping off to Princeton University.

Desperate for money and a stroke of good luck, Maddie wastes no time trying to seduce Percy because she’s in it to win it in No Hard Feelings. Things get off to a rough start when Maddy, who’s 32 years old, tries to kidnap 19-year-old Percy from his job at the animal shelter, which results in her getting maced by the naive teenager.

Their developing romance, which Percy doesn’t know is a setup, continues to be problematic because Maddie is jaded from past failed relationships, and Percy is so innocent for his age that he doesn’t pick up on Maddie’s various attempts at seduction.

No Hard Feelings Is Surprisingly Wholesome, But Doesn’t Play It Safe

After its initial setup, No Hard Feelings becomes surprisingly wholesome because Maddie and Percy unwittingly provide each other with emotional support that they both so desperately need. Percy becomes more confident because an older woman with poor impulse control is giving him the time of day, and Maddie is surprised to find out that Percy is a really good listener who genuinely cares about her well-being.

That said, whatever wholesome moments happen in this film are immediately offset by nude fist fights at the beach, high-speed car chases, catfights at college parties, and Percy consuming way too much alcohol at inopportune moments.

No Hard Feelings is a feel-good, foul-mouthed, and refreshing romantic comedy that has a similar sense of humor to films like There’s Something About Mary and Superbad. If you’re looking for a solid popcorn movie that you don’t have to take seriously, I strongly recommend this title if you’re on the fence about romantic comedies that typically play it safe.

If you want to see Jennifer Lawrence in top form, you can stream No Hard Feelings on HBO Max right now.

The lawyer added that the family is trying to navigate their grief while maintaining their day-to-day responsibilities. So moving forward, they will not be making direct public statements, choosing instead to have their legal representative speak on their behalf.

“In light of the gruesome details emerging almost daily, the family has decided not to make any statements now or in the future. There are no words to express the indescribable pain the family is experiencing right now. They still have bills to pay and jobs they go to every day. All they want is time to grieve and heal. Please grant the Rivas Hernandez family grace and compassion,” shared the family lawyer, Patrick Steinfeld.

What Timeline Details Sparked The Family’s Response?

The reaction from Celeste’s family comes as prosecutors have outlined a deeply troubling timeline in court documents. According to the prosecutors’ brief, D4vd allegedly arranged for Celeste to be transported to his home on April 23, 2025. It was also revealed that the two had a tense exchange the night before.

The legal brief highlights alleged text messages that investigators believe marked a shift in their relationship and may help establish a motive. Prosecutors allege D4vd “stabbed” Celeste multiple times after she threatened to expose their inappropriate and illegal relationship. Furthermore, he allegedly remained at the scene as she was dying before attempting to conceal what occurred. They further claim he placed her body in an inflatable pool in an effort to contain the evidence inside the garage. According to the filing, D4vd later used a chainsaw to dismember the 14-year-old’s body and further conceal evidence.

New Timeline Brings Parents Back Into Spotlight

As previously reported, even Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s parents were pulled into the spotlight amid the case. Law enforcement sources say the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office launched an investigation into allegations of neglect and abuse in April 2024. The probe began weeks after her family reported her missing from her Lake Elsinore home. And, officers responded after someone raised concerns about a runaway juvenile.

Authorities visited the home and interviewed those present, but ultimately found no evidence of wrongdoing. Ultimately, clearing her parents in the investigation. Officials also noted they were unable to speak with Celeste at the time since she had not yet been located, leaving key questions unanswered. In the months that followed, prosecutors allege Celeste remained in contact with D4vd and traveled to multiple locations before eventually returning home later that year.

Shilo Sanders Tells Female Reporter to ‘Make a Sandwich’

Published

NewsAdmin

NFL free agent Shilo Sanders is facing some heat for a comment he made on Instagram to Cleveland Browns beat reporter Mary Kay Cabot.

“Go make a sandwich Mary,” he wrote under a video shared by the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Wednesday, April 29. In the video, Cabot, 64, argued the Browns should make Deshaun Watson their starting quarterback over Shilo’s brother, Shedeur Sanders. (Shilo, 26, and Shedeur, 24, are the sons of legendary NFL star Deion Sanders.)

Cabot addressed the comment the next day in an appearance on 92.3 The Fan.

“Well, let me just say about that, that I really do believe that I’ve been an inspiration for lots of women and young girls to know that you can go out there and do a good job in a man’s world and take on all of that that comes with that,” Cabot said.

Cabot has covered the Browns since 1988 and became the Plain Dealer’s beat reporter for the team in 1991.

She continued, “And I know that there are so many women who have joined the football world, especially because of things I’ve been able to do over the years, and I’m happy about that, and I know that will continue.”

“I have been able to set the tone and open some doors in that way and that will continue,” Cabot added.

Related to Shilo’s comment specifically, Cabot teased, “I can make a mean grilled cheese with ham.”

Shilo remained unimpressed, taking to Twitch on Thursday, April 30, to double down on his comments.

“This is to Mary Kay: If you’re gonna be a reporter, be a reporter and report facts,” he said. “Whenever you have your opinion, and your opinion is always something hateful to Shedeur, then it makes it seem like it’s something weird, like, it’s an agenda you have going on.”

Shilo continued, “There is plenty of women in this field that take this serious and take reporting on football serious and actually do homework and study the game and get the statistics right and get the news right. But with you, it’s so much emotion that I don’t want you to make women look bad when it comes to reporting because you don’t have the will to actually want to report real things that are going on.”

He added that he believes Cabot is making other women reporters look bad because they put in the work necessary to do the job while he alleged she does not.

“When it comes to your opinion, you’ve been saying crazy things for the past, since he’s been there,” Shilo said. “So it’s like, just chill with that ’cause it don’t make no sense, and it makes you look crazy, like you don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Kate Middleton Allegedly ‘Uninterested’ In Meghan Markle

Published

Meghan Markle‘s strained relationship with members of the Royal Family has been a topic of discussion for years. While members of the monarchy have denied Markle’s earlier claims of alleged mistreatment, a new source says that Markle’s sister-in-law, Kate Middleton, was never particularly fond of her. The revelation comes after royal experts revealed new information about how Markle’s latest social media posts may have complicated her husband’s return to the royal fold.

Royal reporter Omid Scobie has a new book coming out called “Endgame.” In the publication, the author discusses the origins of the alleged strained relationship between Markle and Middleton.

Scobie, who has been reporting about the royal family for 10 years, said Markle initially struggled with life as a royal. The actress is said to have hoped to build a close bond with Middleton, especially given their similar backgrounds as commoners.

Despite Markle’s wishes, Middleton allegedly never saw it for the “General Hospital” actor. In fact, the Princess of Wales allegedly gave Markle the cold shoulder. “They were once both outsiders, middle-class women brought into the house of Windsor for unimaginably different lives. Kate, however, was uninterested in forming this kind of bond with Meghan,” Scobie wrote.

Kate Middleton Allegedly Spent Much Of Her Free Time Speaking Poorly About Meghan Markle

Scobie spoke with several sources for his book, including one who alleged that Middleton tends to be more reserved around newcomers and that she “wasn’t a fan” of Markle from the very beginning.

Instead of spending time with Markle, showing her the ropes, a source told Scobie that Middleton usually “spent more time talking about Meghan than talking to her.”

The reported tension between the pair affected those around them, too, said another insider, who claimed Middleton’s bond with Prince Harry had shifted drastically. “She was closest to Harry, and she will always look back fondling on those moments…and the relationship he had with their children,” said the insider. “But to her, there is no way she could ever trust them after all their interviews.”

Meghan Markle Claimed Kate Middleton Made Her Cry During A 2021 Interview With Oprah

Speaking of interviews, Markle and Prince Harry shook the table when they appeared alongside Oprah in a 2021 special titled “Oprah with Meghan and Harry.”

During the production, Markle addressed the claims that she had made Middleton cry during a previous encounter. According to Markle, the media got the story completely wrong.

“The reverse happened,” she said. “And I don’t say that to be disparaging to anyone, because it was a really hard week of the wedding, and she was upset about something. But she owned it, and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing.”

While Markle didn’t get into specifics of the alleged encounter, the actor-turned-royal said she opposed the story becoming front-page news.

Markle also asked the public to stop speculating about the status of their relationship, calling Middleton a “good person.”

“If you love me, you don’t have to hate her. And if you love her, you don’t have to hate me,” Markle said.

The news about the history of Middleton and Markle’s relationship comes days after sources said the latter stirred up trouble with the royals.

According to The Blast, Markle allegedly shared images on Instagram that suggested the hardest seven-year period for Taurus and other zodiac signs was coming to an end.

Royal experts found the posts concerning, noting that she married into the royal family exactly seven years ago.

The commentators further implied that Markle’s post could come across as disrespectful, given the status her royal role has given her.

“She got to be the TV lifestyle host she always dreamt of. She released a book. She got a reality TV show and a Netflix deal. She had multiple magazine covers,” they said.

Will Markle’s Post Disrupt Prince Harry’s Plans To Get Back Into The Royal Fold?

The alleged subtle dig could cause problems for Prince Harry, who is reportedly working to mend his strained relationships with his brother, Prince William, and his father, King Charles.

Just days before that, Prince Harry had a firm response for a reporter who asked the public figure whether he was bothered by people assuming that he was no longer a working royal.

“No. I will always be part of the royal family,” the father of two said. “I am here working doing the things that I was born to do.”

He added, “I enjoy coming to do these trips and supporting that I’ve ever before, the friends that I’ve made, and hopefully, bringing attention to issues that, for one reason or another, drop out of the news because something else has popped up.”

Mama June Turns Heads With Noticeably Slimmer Look At Event

Mama June at AMC Global Media 2026 Upfront-NYC

Mama June Shannon is turning heads once again, this time with a glamorous red carpet moment that has fans talking. The “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” star made a rare appearance at the AMC Networks 2026 Upfront in New York, where she stepped out in a shimmering sleeveless gown that highlighted her noticeably slimmer figure.

At 46, Mama June appeared confident and polished, pairing the look with black shoes and bold accessories, including a chunky bracelet and multiple rings. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo, drawing attention to her face, while her makeup featured soft tones and a glossy dark pink lip.

Mama June’s transformation has been years in the making. At one point, she weighed over 500 pounds before undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in 2015, which helped her drop to around 150 pounds. However, she has been open about her weight fluctuating over the years due to ongoing struggles, making her latest appearance one of her most striking yet.

An Unexpected Hysterectomy Led To A Cancer Scare

The red carpet moment comes shortly after Mama June revealed a serious health scare. “I had a total hysterectomy unexpectedly last year, last April. It was not expected,” she shared, explaining that doctors discovered fibroid cysts that later developed into more concerning issues, which led her to fear the worst.

“It was a scare for me because I did have some fibroid cysts that went to separate cysts, and we had a little scare,” she said. “Me, in my mind, going through what Anna went through, I was worried it was going to be ovarian cancer. I even told the [other] kids that. I was in my head for a long time.”

Mama June Says ‘Some Days Are A Struggle’ As She Continues Facing Ongoing Health Issues

While the worst-case scenario was avoided, Mama June admitted she’s still dealing with lingering health issues. “Some days are a struggle for me, but it’s nothing like [cancer],” she said. “I tell people, ‘We know it’s not ever gonna kill me, but it could immobilize me.’”

She also revealed that there are additional medical concerns she hasn’t publicly shared yet as she continues working with doctors on treatment.

In a surprising twist, Mama June recalled being hospitalized just hours after a psychic warned her about potential health issues during her daughter Jessica Shannon’s bachelorette party. The psychic reportedly told her she was under extreme stress and “may have a heart attack,” prompting concern.

Later that same day, she experienced severe pain, leading her husband, Justin Stroud, to insist she go to the hospital. Doctors later determined that ovarian cysts were the cause of her symptoms.

Amid her health challenges, Mama June also reflected on her personal growth, sharing that she’s now over five years sober. “I’d say I’m five and a half straight, sober,” she said. “No cigarettes, no alcohol, no nothing. You know, I don’t even think about who that person was.”

She’s also navigating major life changes at home, including gaining custody of her granddaughter following the death of her daughter, Anna Cardwell, in 2023 after a battle with cancer. The transition, she admitted, has been an adjustment, especially within her marriage, but it’s one she’s committed to handling as she continues moving forward.

Mama June’s Transformation Comes As Pumpkin Gets Candid In New Interview

Lauryn ‘Pumpkin’ Shannon is also making headlines, just days before Mama June Shannon stepped out with her latest transformation. Pumpkin recently appeared on “The SDR Show,” delivering one of her most unfiltered interviews yet. During the conversation, she opened up about everything from growing up in the public eye to her OnlyFans career, relationships, and her complicated dynamic with her mom.

One of the biggest talking points from the episode centered around her decision to join OnlyFans, where she addressed misconceptions and how it’s impacted her financially. But what really caught attention were the boundaries she revealed about her relationship, sharing that her boyfriend has specific “rules” when it comes to the content she posts, offering a rare glimpse into how they navigate a situation many couples wouldn’t consider.

Met Gala 2026 is almost here, and as always, the biggest question isn’t just what everyone will wear … it’s who will actually show up. Fashion’s most exclusive night typically hosts around 450 guests, and while the full list is tightly under wraps, several major names have already been confirmed, starting with this year’s powerhouse co-chairs.

Leading the night are Anna Wintour, Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams, a lineup that already guarantees major star power on the carpet. Beyond the co-chairs, the Met Gala’s host committee is stacked with celebrities, designers, and cultural icons, all expected to walk the red carpet.

Notable names include Doja Cat, Angela Bassett, Teyana Taylor, Sabrina Carpenter, Zoë Kravitz, Sam Smith, LISA, and Lena Dunham. Also making appearances are high-profile figures like Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, along with artists, models, and creatives across industries.

Rihanna, Zendaya, Kardashians, And More Expected To Attend

While the official guest list remains secret, speculation and past attendance suggest a long list of A-listers will likely hit the carpet. Names fans are already buzzing about include Rihanna, Zendaya, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Sydney Sweeney, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, and Lady Gaga.

Also likely to appear are Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Cardi B, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Pharrell Williams, Rosalía, Nick Jonas, and Priyanka Chopra.

Fans tuning into the livestream can expect coverage from familiar faces like Emma Chamberlain, Cara Delevingne, Ashley Graham, and La La Anthony.

Inside The Met Gala’s Strict Seating Rules

Beyond the fashion and star-studded arrivals, the Met Gala is also known for its highly strategic seating chart, and it’s not as simple as sitting with your friends. Attendees are expected to follow the assigned seating, regardless of relationships, meaning even spouses or close friends can be split up for the evening.

“We really try to think very carefully about who’s sitting next to each other,” Eaddy Kiernan, who worked on the seating chart, said. “Our ideal pairing would maybe be two people who we think will just get on like a house on fire, but who may not even realize that they have a lot in common. So with each person, we really do take time to think, ‘What will they talk about?’”

The goal is to spark unexpected conversations and maybe even a few iconic moments long after the red carpet ends.

Met Gala 2026 Theme ‘Costume Art’ Explores Fashion’s Role Across Art History

Following last year’s “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” the 2026 theme is “Costume Art,” a concept inspired by the role of fashion within art history. According to curator Andrew Bolton, the exhibit will explore “the centrality of the dressed body” across thousands of years of art.

“What connects every curatorial department and what connects every single gallery in the museum is fashion, or the dressed body,” Bolton said. “It’s the common thread throughout the whole museum, which is really what the initial idea for the exhibition was, this epiphany: I know that we’ve often been seen as the stepchild, but, in fact, the dressed body is front and center in every gallery you come across. Even the nude is never naked. It’s always inscribed with cultural values and ideas.”

The exhibition, which will be on display from May 10, 2026, through January 10, 2027, will also debut a massive new gallery space inside The Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcasing everything from paintings and sculptures to historical and contemporary fashion pieces. Once the exhibit wraps, the mannequins will be preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s permanent collection, where they can be used again in future displays.
