Kris added, “And then yeah, what happens is my kids kept, you know, keep having kids. So now I have a feeling I’m going to be kind of on the hook for 13 cars.”

Tiffany Haddish is opening up about her ongoing sobriety journey.

“Hey, I stopped drinking altogether when I realized how much bad stuff I was seeing connected to alcohol,” Haddish, 46, wrote via X on Saturday, August 22. “Sitting in court really opened my eyes. Case after case — domestic violence, child abuse, theft, fighting, Grape — alcohol kept showing up somewhere in the story. And I thought, ‘Damn, what would happen if I just never drank again?’ So I stopped.”

Haddish was arrested in January 2022 in Georgia for driving under the influence, for which she pleaded earlier this month. As part of her plea agreement to avoid trial, Haddish’s driver’s license was suspended and she was sentenced to 12-month probation. The comedian was arrested on suspicion of DUI for a second time in November 2023, also reaching a plea deal after pleading no contest to reckless driving. Haddish was also sentenced to probation.

In the years since her arrests, Haddish vowed to quit drinking.

“Over three years later, LIFE IS AWESOME. No more waking up in pain. No more waking up next to ugly people. 😂 No more toxic relationships,” the Girls Trip actress added on Saturday. “Narcissists REALLY don’t like sober Tiffany because I don’t feed into the mess anymore. It’s actually funny how fast a sober mind will run a toxic soul right up out of your life.”

Haddish continued, “I really wonder what would happen if everybody stopped drinking for just six weeks. How many arguments wouldn’t happen? How many bad decisions wouldn’t get made? How many people wouldn’t end up in court? I can only speak for me, but giving up alcohol gave me clarity.”

According to Haddish, she “can see [her] dreams clearer than ever” after three years without drinking alcohol.

“Now I actually believe I’m going to make every damn one of them come true,” she concluded. “Any Questions?!?”

When Tiffany Haddish arrives to our interview, I greet her by saying, “Hi, Tiffany, how are you?” She replies, “Successful. How are you?” The answer is that I am not as successful as Haddish, 45, whose new Peacock docuseries, Tiffany Haddish Goes Off (November 13), is a Girls Trip–inspired delight that follows the comedian — […]

Haddish previously announced in May 2024 that she planned to stop drinking “any” alcohol.

“Never gonna do that again,” she stressed to Extra at the time. “It feels good to wake up and my elbows ain’t aching. My knees ain’t burning. The crooks of my ankles ain’t on fire, you know, there’s no inflammation. I want to be in a good place. I want to see me in a good place, too.”

Prince William and his wife, Princess Kate Middleton, attended church on Sunday, August 23, with members of the royal family.

William and Kate, 44, were photographed driving to Scotland’s Crathie Kirk Church on Sunday alongside their three children: Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 7.

While the Prince of Wales opted for a dapper navy suit, Kate stunned in a tweed blazer over a white turtleneck blouse topped with a coordinating brown fascinator with a large bow on the brim.

The Wales family of five were joined at the church by King Charles III, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie.

Just days earlier, news broke that Charles’ son Prince Harry planned to move back to England in time for his two kids with wife Meghan Markle to enroll in local schools for the fall semester.

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, initially stepped down from their duties as senior working royals in 2020 in favor of a private life with their kids Prince Archie, now 7, and Princess Lilibet, now 5. The stateside move soon sparked a rift between Harry and his father and brother.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not publicly addressed their relocation, nor have any of Harry’s relatives. A royal expert, meanwhile, exclusively speculated how William and Kate took the announcement.

“All I can think of is, ‘Here we go again.’ For starters, I can only imagine that William and Kate are tearing their hair out,” Brothers and Wives author Christopher Andersen exclusively told Us on Wednesday, August 19. “They have so much on their plate as it is trying to shore up the monarchy and propel it into the future; they don’t really need to cope with having Harry and Megan on their proverbial doorstep.”

Andersen added, “By returning to the U.K., the Sussexes will inevitably suck up all the oxygen in the room. They will generate countless tabloid stories and take the focus away from other members of the Royal family, which is a major no-no. King Charles and Queen Camilla, in particular, don’t like to be upstaged, and the same goes for William.”

A royal expert is shedding light on how Prince William and Kate Middleton are likely reacting to the news that their estranged family members Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the U.K. “All I can think of is: here we go again,” Brothers and Wives author Christopher Andersen exclusively tells Us. “For […]

A second royal expert, former palace butler Grant Harrold, similarly told Us that moves likely wouldn’t “completely heal things” between Harry and William.

“Too much happened. It will be a situation where actions mean more than words,” Harrold theorized. “Right now, I don’t see things healing. I think they will be poker-faced and play happy families, but behind the scenes it will take a lot more.”

Meanwhile, Harry’s relationship with Charles, 77, has slowly turned a corner amid the king’s ongoing battle with an undisclosed form of cancer. The duke recently brought Meghan and their kids to visit with Charles during a trip to the U.K. in July.

It’s hard to find a decent movie to watch these days.

Fortunately, streamers like Netflix, Prime Video and more offer lots of new and old films that make their high subscription prices worth it.

Hulu is probably the best of them all, at least in August. The streamer just added a slew of new movies that have great Rotten Tomatoes scores.

Watch With Us has ranked the three best flicks for you to watch this month, and our list includes one of Steven Spielberg’s most popular movies and a critically acclaimed horror prequel starring Mia Goth.

3. ‘Jurassic Park’ (1993)

Rotten Tomatoes score: 91 percent

How do you compete with Walt Disney’s iconic theme parks? For wealthy industrialist John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), he thinks the only way to best his long-dead competitor is to think big. That involves receiving long-extinct dinosaurs through genetic engineering and housing them on an exotic island theme park named Jurassic Park. But when he invites several scientists, including skeptical paleontologist Alan Grant (Sam Neill), he realizes his soon-to-be-opened park has some problems that need to be solved. The dinosaurs aren’t exactly happy to be caged, and they’re not as friendly to their human captors as Hammond would like them to be.

Unleashed in 1993, Jurassic Park won the hearts and minds of pretty much everyone who saw it. With skillful direction from Steven Spielberg, an iconic score by John Williams and groundbreaking special effects that still impress today, Jurassic Park offers dino-sized spectacle while still retaining a human heart. This summer’s The End of Oak Street with Anne Hathaway revived interest in cinematic dinos, but no film can touch Spielberg’s 1993 classic.

2. ‘Pearl’ (2022)

Rotten Tomatoes score: 93 percent

All Pearl (Mia Goth) wants to be is a star. Her dream seems impossible to achieve since she’s stuck on a Texas farm taking care of her ungrateful parents and waiting for her husband to return home from World War I. When she meets a traveling film projectionist (David Corenswet) who promises to help her practice for an upcoming audition, she thinks she has a shot at stardom. But Pearl’s delusions barely mask her unraveling sanity as she begins to think that the people who are holding her back are better off dead than alive.

A bizarre prequel to director Ti West’s modern horror classic X, Pearl is like a twisted version of The Wizard of Oz — except this Dorothy is armed with a pitchfork and very dangerous. The film works less as a slasher — be warned that the body count is small compared to X and its sequel, MaXXXine — and more as a psychological study of a woman who gradually realizes and accepts she’s a monster. Goth’s unhinged performance is an all-timer — she makes you sympathize with her character, even when she’s feeding her victims to her pet alligator, Theda.

1. ‘All of Us Strangers’ (2023)

Rotten Tomatoes score: 96 percent

Lonely screenwriter Adam (Andrew Scott) just moved into a newly built London high-rise building, and the only other tenant seems to be Harry (Paul Mescal). When Harry makes a pass at him, Adam at first rejects it, preferring to be alone. Eventually, the two men hook up, and their casual fling becomes something more intimate. But Adam is still haunted by a tragedy from his childhood, and his reluctance to fully process that lingering trauma could jeopardize his relationship with Harry.

No plot description can quite do justice to the spell All of Us Strangers casts over you. It’s part family drama, part romance and also kind of a fantasy — you never quite know what’s real or if the things and people you’re seeing are real. Writer-director Andrew Haigh brilliantly creates a dreamlike London, with Adam stuck in a kind of purgatory of his own emotions. He can’t move forward unless he puts his past to rest, and that’s not as easy as he’d like. Scott received lots of critical praise for his deeply felt performance, and it’s deserved — he’s captivating in a way that isn’t showy and heart-wrenching without being manipulative.

Alien invasion movies traditionally involve enormous spaceships arriving above major American cities before somebody inevitably decides it’s time to blow up the White House. However, in 2009, a movie came along that threw a wild idea at us. What if the aliens arrived, didn’t conquer anybody, and instead became refugees imprisoned because we didn’t trust them and wanted to exploit them for their resources? That premise turned into one of the most acclaimed science-fiction movies of the 21st century, and it’s charting on streaming now.

District 9 is streaming on Netflix, bringing the Oscar-nominated sci-fi thriller to the platform’s current science-fiction lineup. The film plunges us into a world where aliens — derogatorily nicknamed “prawns” — have landed only to be exiled to a slum and a government-controlled camp on the fringes of Johannesburg.

But then, one lone human named Wikus van de Merwe discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology and, while being hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he soon understands what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet. And after being exposed to a mysterious substance, Wikus begins undergoing a horrifying transformation that suddenly makes him extremely valuable to the same organization he works for — dead or alive.

Who Stars in ‘District 9’?

District 9 stars Sharlto Copley (The A-Team) as Wikus van de Merwe, Jason Cope (Dredd) as Christopher Johnson/Grey Bradnam, David James (The Young Ones) as Koobus Venter, Vanessa Haywood (Blood Diamond) as Tania van de Merwe, Mandla Gaduka (Generations) as Fundiswa Mhlanga, Kenneth Nkosi (Tsotsi) as Thomas, Eugene Khumbanyiwa (Chappie) as Obesandjo, Louis Minnaar (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom) as Piet Smit, William Allen Young (Code Black) as Dirk Michaels, and Nathalie Boltt (Riverdale) as Sarah Livingstone. The movie was directed by Neill Blomkamp (Elysium) from a screenplay he co-wrote with Terri Tatchell, with Peter Jackson serving as a producer.

The film cost approximately $30 million and earned $210.8 million worldwide — roughly 7x its production budget in theatrical grosses. That included about $115.6 million in North America and $95.2 million internationally. It was an even bigger critical success. District 9 earned four Academy Award nominations, including the extremely unusual achievement for a hard sci-fi movie of being nominated for Best Picture. It was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing and Best Visual Effects.

District 9 is streaming now on Netflix.

If you’re anything like Us, you’re curious as to what’s inside a celebrity’s medicine cabinet. What you’ll find in Rihanna‘s is a surprisingly low-effort way to smooth the look of fine lines: Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection Expression Line Hydra-Gel Patches.

A source told Us the singer and beauty founder mogul was spotted wearing the fine line-smoothing eye patches. While most under-eye patches address puffiness or tired-looking eyes, the Peter Thomas Roth patches temporarily smooth and hydrate areas prone to visible lines caused by everyday facial movements.

Get the Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection Expression Line Hydra-Gel Patches for $65 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

The first thing you’ll notice about Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection Expression Line Hydra-Gel Patches? The unique shape. Unlike classic crescent-shaped eye gels, these flexible patches are designed to fit several areas of the face, including around the eyes, between the brows, across the forehead and around the nose and mouth.

You can strategically place them wherever expression marks are most noticeable, whether that’s crow’s feet from smiling, the “11” lines between your brows or creases that become more prominent when you scrunch your nose. The hydra-gel formula hugs the skin while you wear it, delivering ingredients directly to targeted areas without requiring you to slather your entire face in another serum or cream (no, they don’t slip and slide all over the place).

Jennifer Aniston doesn’t skimp on skincare — she’s in front of the camera all the time — so we’re taking notes from her playbook. The actress turns to the Shiseido Benefiance Smoothing Eye Masks, according to Hello! Magazine. Since they’re on Amazon, you can get the star-studded results from home. The individually wrapped patches are […]

Peter Thomas Roth Peptide Skinjection Expression Line Hydra-Gel Patches are powered by a cocktail of peptides to help improve the appearance of expression lines and target vertical facial lines. There’s a hydration component, too, which is especially helpful considering dry, dehydrated skin can make fine lines appear more noticeable. As the cooling hydra-gel patches sit against the skin, they deliver moisture that helps treated areas look plumper, fresher and smoother once they’re removed.

While the patches don’t promise to stop facial movement altogether, they do offer a topical way to address the visible creasing that can come along with it. The combination of hydration and line-targeting ingredients makes them particularly appealing as a pre-event or pre-makeup treatment when you want skin to look a little more refreshed without adding several extra steps to your routine.

One Amazon reviewer said they “noticeably reduce puffiness around my eyes,” while another shopper said it makes the skin feel “tighter and smoother.”

If you’ve been looking for a quick way to give fine lines and expression marks a little extra attention without adding another complicated step to your routine, Peter Thomas Roth eye patches are essential! Pop them on while doing your hair, drinking your morning coffee or getting ready for the night, and they can do their thing in the background.

Lovingly dubbed ‘Dunesday’ by fans, in the spirit of 2023’s ‘Barbenheimer,’ both Avengers: Doomsday and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three will debut on December 18 this year in a cinematic event sure to grip the world. To be part of either of these huge movies is impressive, but to feature in both is nothing short of remarkable. Well, that’s exactly what Florence Pugh is doing, as the MCU’s new Black Widow, Yelena Belova, in Doomsday and Princess Irulan in Dune: Part Three.

This follows her surprise appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which has already broken numerous box office records and smashed the $2 billion mark worldwide. With this in mind, and with both Doomsday and Dune: Part Three expected to make a huge splash at the box office, it’s possible that 2026 ends with Pugh in all three of the highest-grossing films. One of the actress’ most high-profile roles of the decade, and perhaps her most controversial film, came in 2022, as she starred opposite music star Harry Styles in Don’t Worry Darling.

Directed by Olivia Wilde in only her second effort behind the camera, Don’t Worry Darling stole plenty of headlines for several wrong reasons: due to rumors of a feud between Wilde and Pugh, some strange moments during the press tour, and the apparent firing of the previously cast Shia LaBeouf. Four years on, and the dust has definitely settled, with Don’t Worry Darling now seen by some as underrated. At the time of writing, the film is one of the ten most-streamed titles on HBO Max in the world.

Olivia Wilde’s ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Follow-Up Is Also a Streaming Success

Wilde’s second directorial effort was disappointing to some, but her third has reprised the success of her debut feature, Booksmart. A remake of the Spanish-language effort The People Upstairs, The Invite stars director Wilde alongside the perfectly cast trio of Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Penélope Cruz. A quiet hit at the box office, the film has since dropped on PVOD and found even more success, currently ranking as the most-watched movie on iTunes in the U.S. For Collider, Ross Bonaime awarded the movie a strong 8/10, writing, “The Invite is a mature, attractive-looking comedy, which we rarely get in this day and age.”

Don’t Worry Darling is a hit on HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
