Video Emerges From Controversial Matthew Mayich Workout
A new video shows the moments before Arizona State hockey player Matthew Mayich collapsed during a controversial outdoor team workout last month, leaving him in the hospital with “zero chance of recovery.”
The video, obtained and published by Arizona’s Family on Tuesday, September 22, features Green Beret Tim Ziesel running the workout on the field outside ASU’s ice rink on August 20.
“Those teams that have won, they’re soft,” Ziesel can be heard telling the players as they performed planks on the ground. “Because that’s what winning does to you. It makes you soft!”
Ziesel then commanded the players to perform push-ups, with some of the players noticeably struggling.
Shortly after the video was taken, Mayich, 21, collapsed due to a heat stroke. In an exclusive interview with Us earlier this month, the Mayich family’s attorney, Robert Carey, acknowledged “no good outcome is coming.”
A report issued by Arizona State University on Tuesday revealed temperatures at the time of the workout “ranged from 86 degrees to 89 degrees F with a relative humidity of 51 percent to 46 percent.”
During the workout, Mayich became dizzy and disoriented before suffering “exertional heat stroke that caused a lack of oxygen to the brain,” according to Carey. The attorney told Us he’s “confident” Mayich did not receive water throughout the nearly-hour long workout, which ASU’s report refuted.
“ASU Hockey staff ordered short-sleeved, light-colored shirts for them to wear with shorts during the event, and the athletic trainer brought water for the student-athletes to drink as well as a cooler with iced towels,” the report said. ”A break was taken approximately 20 minutes into the event for the student-athletes to drink water.”
James Rund, ASU’s Senior Vice President, Educational Outreach and Student Services, added in the report, “All of the student-athletes who participated in the event had been medically cleared for athletics participation prior to the event. This included Matthew, who had arrived in Tempe from his home in Canada eight days earlier (on August 12) and been medically cleared by the team physician and the athletic trainer after a pre-participation physical examination.”
Despite the alleged precautions, the report acknowledged the ASU hockey team “did not submit a plan of training activities for review by ASU’s strength and conditioning coaches prior to the event.”
The Mayich family attorney issued a blistering response about the report to Us on Wednesday.
“What the report doesn’t say is what the players will tell you: this was a punishment workout,” Carey said. “Miss a count, your group runs again. The head coach set it up, stood there and watched it, and didn’t stop it when the signs were there. And when Matthew went down, there was no plan and no preparation, so he was treated in a way that hurt his chances rather than helped them.”
The lawyer continued, “The report does settle one thing. The coach said the workout was planned for ninety minutes and cut short at forty-five. ASU’s own timeline has Matthew on that field for more than eighty minutes, in a grueling workout with almost no water, with no acclimation to anything like it, eight days off a plane from Canada, and nobody doing their job on safety or ready for an emergency.”
Arizona State is scheduled to open the season on October 2 at Lindenwood.

Claressa Shields Talks Navigating Blended Family With Papoose
Roomies, when it comes to keeping it a buck, y’all already know Claressa Shields doesn’t hold back. The GWOAT recently got candid about what blended family life with Papoose could look like as their relationship continues to progress.

Claressa Shields Gets Real About Preparing For Blended Family Life With Papoose
Okay, so BOOM! Claressa Shields recently pulled up on Angela Yee’s ‘Lip Service’ podcast and kept it real about how she plans to navigate blended family life with Papoose. Claressa and Pap don’t share any children together right now, but he has three kids — a daughter, Reminisce Mackenzie, with Remy Ma, and two other children from previous relationships, a daughter, Dejanae Mackie, and a son, Shamele Mackie.
Despite Claressa and Remy not exactly seeing eye to eye, the heavyweight boxing champion isn’t worried about what the future might bring. Claressa said she’s simply “going with the flow” and doesn’t plan to force anything when it comes to blending families. Instead, she’s letting things play out naturally and waiting to see what the future holds.
“I’m not gonna try to force nothing. Like I said, it’s a whole little court going on they have to get that finished and I don’t know how that would be after, but I’m not gonna worry myself with that,” Shields said.
From there, Shields said knowing that Papoose will always show up as a great father makes matters much easier. However, she still plans to cross that bridge when she gets there.
“I know that he will always be an excellent father to his kids and that’s what he’s gon’ do.” Shields added, “Now, blended family […] however it comes, it get dealt with […] hey, I’m not gonna stress myself about it.”
@aylipservice As things get more serious between Claressa Shields and her boyfriend, Papoose, the public can’t help but wonder how she will handle being in a blended family. And honestly, the pro-fighter’s answer is simple… she just “goes with the flow.” She said, “I’m not gonna worry myself with that” and when it comes to her man, “I know that he will always be an excellent father to his kids and that’s what he gonna do.” Watch the full Lip Service episode: @aylipservice 💋
Social Media Weighs In On Claressa’s Blended Family Comments
Once the clip of Claressa’s comments hit the internet, folks wasted NO time flooding the ‘Lip Service’ comment section. Some felt the GWOAT handled the blended family question perfectly. Meanwhile, others thought Claressa might need to keep a lil’ more of her relationship with Pap off the timeline.
Instagram user @msetcetera wrote, “Great answer!… Very mature response.”
Instagram user @iamalainarose wrote, “I mean no one’s saying to ‘stress yourself’ but I think it’s important to have some sort of relationship with all of the children…”
While Instagram user @sexychocolate10 wrote, “They keep setting her up for backlash!! It should be no questions asked about that relationship! Her PR team if she has one need to do better!”
Then instagram user @steamyscorpio wrote, “Why even answer questions that’s not pertaining to you and your accolades? Even if it’s pertaining to Pap, just say we’re great!”
Another Instagram user @milar619 wrote, “I love that she doesn’t side step questions cause at the end of the day this is her life and she can keep or speak on whatever she pleases regarding her.”
Instagram user @paradiseparis wrote, “Nothing was wrong with her answer.”
Then another Instagram user @the_black_madonna__ wrote, “😂😂😂😂 I started lol at Ressa reaction immediately iktr sis👏🏾👏🏾😂❤️”
Finally, Instagram user @wilsonstephanie40 wrote, “If I was her, I would only answer questions about my career & nothing about my personal life. Absolutely nothing!”
Boxing Gloves To Baby Bottles? Here’s What Claressa Previously Said About Having Kids With Papoose
Claressa has never shied away from speaking on her future with Papoose. Back in December 2025, the boxing champ spilled all the tea about their baby plans during a chat with Fight Hype. At the time, Claressa said she hoped to have a baby this year, but she wanted to knock out a few fights first so she could fully focus on starting a family with Pap. In other instances, Shields has also made it clear that she doesn’t want to wait until her 40s or until she hangs up her gloves to become a mom. Instead, she wants to juggle motherhood AND her boxing career at the same time. Okayyy, future boss mom energy!
“I want to be able to run at the park with my kids and stuff like that. I don’t want to be too old. So, I think keeping my body in shape.. I don’t drink or smoke. I think that will also help me too, when I’m going through this whole body and life change,” Shields explained.

We’re now less than three months away from the biggest sci-fi event of the year. The long-awaited Dune: Part Three, already an early pick for a Best Picture nomination at next year’s Oscars, will cap off Denis Villeneuve‘s acclaimed trilogy adapting Frank Herbert‘s Dune novels.

But when it comes to iconic sci-fi trilogies, the final entry in the Dune saga shouldn’t be the only title on your big-screen radar. There are few sci-fi trilogies as important and beloved as Back to the Future, with director Robert Zemeckis‘ and producer Steven Spielberg‘s timeless time-travel adventure taking audiences where they don’t need roads and defining the genre for generations. Michael J. Fox, fresh out of the TV series Family Ties, broke into Hollywood opposite Christopher Lloyd‘s enigmatic Doc Brown in the film’s three entries.
Thanks to events in the sequel, with Marty and Doc traveling to October 21, 2015, this date came to be known as Back to the Future Day to fans. This year, twelve months on from the huge 40-year celebrations, prepare to celebrate Back to the Future in perfectly futuristic style, as the original film returns to theaters in 4DX format.

The ‘Back to the Future’ Celebrations Don’t Stop There
Alongside this special 4DX re-release, you can celebrate Back to the Future with Back to the Future: The Complete Screenplay, a new book from Bob Gale. The special release will feature Gale’s personal shooting script, complete with revision pages, handwritten notes, deleted scenes, rare photos, sketches, production documents, and much more. “This is going to be really instructional about how movies are made, how scripts are written,” Gale said in an interview. “The mistakes are in there, the deleted scenes are in there, the stuff that we changed, stuff that we thought we were going to do that we didn’t do. It’s chock full of stuff like that.”
Back to the Future returns to theaters on October 21, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more.

Dakota Johnson Got A Front Row Seat To MGK’s Milan Runway
Dakota Johnson may not have walked the Milan Fashion Week runway, but she still became part of the spectacle.
The actress was spotted watching Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) make his runway debut at Vogue World: Milano. Her appearance came shortly after reports that the pair had gone on their first date in New York.
Dakota Johnson’s love life has drawn plenty of attention since her split from Chris Martin. She was later linked to Role Model before her reported connection with MGK emerged.
Dakota Johnson Watches MGK Take Over The Milan Runway
MGK, 36, walked at the Vogue World: Milano show on Tuesday, September 22. He stepped onto the runway wearing an orange Byblos jumpsuit during the Milan Fashion Week presentation. Johnson, also 36, watched from the front row.
She wore a black plunging midi dress with a sheer skirt as she took in the presentation. Johnson’s appearance reportedly came shortly after the pair’s first date at Taylor Swift’s New York apartment. A source previously said they “hit it off” and wanted privacy during their first outing.
The source explained to US Magazine that Johnson contacted Swift about using her apartment. Swift was reportedly away and has allowed close friends to use her place when she is not there. Their reported connection comes after both recently experienced changes in their respective romantic lives.
Johnson had been linked to Role Model after splitting from Chris Martin. MGK, meanwhile, had remained single following his complicated relationship with Megan Fox.
MGK Is Reportedly ‘Really Into’ Johnson

The Milan appearance followed a New York outing that initially left people wondering what was happening between Johnson and MGK. The pair had reportedly spent time together at Swift’s Tribeca apartment before heading out for dinner.
The Blast reported that a source described MGK as “really into” Johnson. The insider said he thought she was cool, was attracted to her, and believed there was definite chemistry between them.
The source also said the two were getting to know each other. MGK reportedly enjoyed that Johnson was funny, did not take herself too seriously, and made the evening feel comfortable.
However, the connection was not presented as a serious relationship yet. The insider said MGK was not putting a label on anything and wanted to spend more time with Johnson.
Their evening was reportedly not a major romantic production. They had dinner, talked, and spent time together without trying to make their connection public.
Privacy was reportedly important to both stars during the outing. Their social circles had already overlapped before this latest connection. Both stars attended Swift and Travis Kelce’s July wedding, where they reportedly crossed paths before spending more time together later.
Dakota Johnson Has A Romantic History With Musicians

The actress has previously been romantically linked to several musicians. She spent nearly eight years with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. The pair dated on and off from 2017 until their final split in June 2025 and were reportedly engaged for years.
Johnson was later linked to Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury. Their relationship reportedly began after they were spotted together in December 2025, before PEOPLE reported in August that they had quietly ended things.
The Blast revealed that one insider described musicians as Johnson’s apparent type, claiming she loves rock stars and is drawn to the rock-and-roll lifestyle. Another source compared her supposed attraction to musicians with Penny Lane from “Almost Famous.”
MGK also had a years-long relationship with Megan Fox, including an engagement, breakups, reconciliations, and eventually the birth of their daughter. The former couple welcomed Saga Blade in March 2025.
They had already ended their romantic relationship before their daughter’s arrival and later shifted their attention toward co-parenting. MGK is also a father to daughter Casie from his previous relationship with Emma Cannon.
The Duo Have Different Personalities

Johnson and MGK may have chemistry, but insiders described them as an unexpected pairing. Both are 36, which reportedly appeals to Johnson after dating men in different age groups. One insider said she loves that MGK is “in his 30s like she is.” MGK also reportedly appreciates Johnson’s Hollywood background.
She is the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, and granddaughter of Tippi Hedren. One source said MGK is “a little starstruck” because Johnson’s family is so famous. Their personalities are another noticeable difference. One source described MGK as “more eccentric and loud,” while Johnson is “more reserved and down to earth.”
Another insider suggested they might “tame each other a little bit,” though it remains unclear whether that could last long-term. Another question is what they want from a relationship.
Johnson has said, “I really do,” when asked whether she wants children, while a source claimed MGK “isn’t looking for anything serious.” The pair also have demanding careers, with Johnson promoting “Verity” and MGK focused on his recording career.
MGK’s Last Runway Appearance Also Featured Another Leading Lady

MGK has previously made Milan Fashion Week part of his public image. His earlier appearance at a Dolce & Gabbana menswear show became memorable because of both his fashion choices and his relationship with Megan Fox.
The South China Morning Post reported that MGK headlined Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn/winter 2022-23 menswear show in Milan. The event took place during a reduced fashion calendar because the Omicron variant was spreading across Italy.
MGK reportedly made at least three wardrobe changes during that show. He also handed his jacket to Fox in the front row before performing at the end of the presentation.
The runway itself leaned heavily into the musician’s flamboyant style. Dolce & Gabbana showcased bold puffer coats, eco-furs, sequins, exaggerated shoulders, men’s skirts, and rock-inspired looks.
The rapper’s appearance also included statement-making pieces that matched his reputation for unconventional dressing. The collection featured bubblegum-pink puffer coats and trousers alongside graffiti prints. Another standout was a tall blue knit cap, compared to Marge Simpson.
The show also moved beyond traditional menswear. Tweed midi skirts, black kilts, shimmering minidresses and long tunics appeared alongside leggings and leather details. The overall collection carried a rock-and-roll attitude.

Collin Gosselin Reveals Mom Kate’s Special Forces Influence
Collin Gosselin’s decision to join Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test was influenced by more than just one factor.
“I mean, a part of me for a long time was like, ‘I’m gonna prove my mom wrong after everything she did to me as a kid,’” Collin, 22, exclusively shared with Us before the show’s season 5 premiere on Thursday, September 24. “But at a certain point, it’s not for her — this journey, saying yes and going out in the jungle — this was for me.”
When Special Forces premiered in 2023, Kate Gosselin was the first celebrity contestant out of the competition when she was medically withdrawn in the first episode.
As season 5 kicks off this month, Collin is determined to complete more tasks than his estranged mom.
“Looking back, it’s been a couple of months, but I feel like I learned and grew so much, and I did this for me and for all the children who are part of the mission I’m on,” Collin explained to Us. “I just want to show them you can be strong. You can be a warrior and push through and keep going. That’s who I did it for. Not for her.”
Collin grew up in the spotlight when his parents, Kate, 51, and Jon Gosselin, appeared on the TLC reality show Jon & Kate Plus 8. When his parents divorced in 2009, Collin remained on TV thanks to Kate Plus 8.
He later moved in with his father full-time and began speaking out about the alleged abuse he experienced from his mother. (Kate’s lawyer shared in a 2024 interview with Fox News that she would not be responding to the allegations.)
Collin is expected to share his story about “truth, survival, resilience and finding my voice after years of being silenced” in the upcoming book titled In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood.
While filming Special Forces, Collin was grateful to build such strong connections with his fellow contestants, including Ruby Rose. The bonds formed while filming pushed him to keep going.
“There’s nothing else out there besides the people around you,” he shared. “That bond we shared — at the end of the day we’d all sit on our cots and talk, and that’s what kept me going — that community is really all you have out there.”
When asked if Jon, 49, could ever join the show in the future, Collin made it clear that he doesn’t see the DJ traveling to the jungle to complete demanding training exercises led by an elite team of ex-special forces operatives.
“He wouldn’t do it,” Collin said. “After I told him everything when I came back home, he was like, ‘I’m glad I didn’t do that. I would never want to do that. Not for me.’”
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 5 premieres on Fox Thursday, September 24 at 9 p.m. ET.

8 Netflix Fantasy Shows Without a Single Flaw
Fantasy shows ask a lot from the audience. They want them to remember entirely new worlds, complicated magic systems, and strange creatures. When that balance between exposition and storytelling goes wrong, watching a show can start to feel like homework. When it works, though, there is nothing easier to get lost in.
Netflix has produced plenty of fantasy series over the years, but only a handful have managed to make their worlds feel spectacularly grand without making the audience work too hard to understand them. These are the shows where the lore, characters, and story all pull in the same direction, and every new episode gives the audience another reason to stay inside that world a little longer. Here are such Netflix fantasy series that unfold perfectly without a single flaw.
‘The Dragon Prince’ (2018–2024)
The Dragon Prince wastes no time throwing its young heroes into a conflict that is way too big for them to understand. The fantasy series is set in a world divided between the human kingdoms and the magical land of Xadia, where elves, dragons, and humans have spent generations seeing each other as enemies. That begins to change when human princes Callum (Jack DeSena) and Ezran (Sasha Rojen) discover that the supposedly dead Dragon Prince is actually still alive. Instead of letting another war begin, they join Moonshadow Elf assassin Rayla (Paula Burrows) on a journey to bring him home.
The setup is easy enough to understand, but The Dragon Prince keeps expanding its lore with every episode. The show’s magic system is carefully built out, but the fact that it is rooted in history and prejudice is what gives it weight. Netflix gave the story a full seven-season arc, which allowed the writers to explore every relationship, rivalry, and threat that Callum and Ezran came across on their quest. What begins as a straightforward adventure featuring three unlikely friends eventually turns into a much larger fantasy saga that immerses the audience until the very last minute.
‘Arcane’ (2021–2024)
Arcane is a League of Legends spin-off, but it works because the audience can come in with practically no understanding of the game and still become completely invested in its world. The series takes place between the wealthy city of Piltover and the struggling underground district of Zaun, but its much bigger conflict begins with two sisters. Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) and Powder (Ella Purnell) grow up together in Zaun until one disastrous night tears them apart. Years later, Vi returns to find that the little sister she remembers has become Jinx, a dangerous and deeply unstable figure caught in the growing conflict between the two cities.
That relationship gives Arcane its most important emotional beats. The political tension between Piltover and Zaun keeps rising, but nearly every major development eventually circles back to the people caught in the middle, including the two sisters. However, what makes Arcane truly worth watching is how intentional every episode feels. By the end, it is clear that Arcane always knew where it was going, with every part of the story building naturally toward its fitting close.
‘Locke & Key’ (2020–2022)
Locke & Key builds its fantasy around a pretty simple concept, but it uses that as the foundation for a much bigger story filled with magic and increasingly dangerous family secrets. The series follows siblings Tyler (Connor Jessup), Kinsey (Emilia Jones), and Bode Locke (Jackson Robert Scott) along with their mother Nina (Darby Stanchfield), as they move into Keyhouse, their father’s mysterious childhood home, after he is murdered. Now, it doesn’t take long for Bode to discover that the house is filled with magical keys, each capable of doing something completely different.
One can open a door to anywhere in the world, another lets people enter their own minds, and the deeper the siblings dig, the more they realize their father knew far more about Keyhouse than he ever told them. That constant discovery gives Locke & Key an almost irresistible sense of curiosity. Every new key creates another possibility, but the series is smart enough to make sure that all this magic ties back to the Locke family’s larger story about grief. Even when the threat grows beyond Keyhouse, it still comes from the same secrets the family is trying to understand, especially once a dangerous entity begins hunting the keys for itself. That emotional grounding keeps the fantasy from ever feeling random or disconnected from the characters, and makes every episode of Locke & Key feel essential to the larger story.
‘Sweet Tooth’ (2021–2024)
Sweet Tooth drops viewers into a completely broken world, and that is the show’s smartest decision. The series takes place after a deadly pandemic known as the Sick has torn society apart. It has also resulted in children being born as hybrids, with both human and animal features. The story follows Gus (Christian Convery), a half-human, half-deer boy who has spent most of his life hidden away from the outside world. When he finally leaves home, he joins Tommy Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) on a journey to find his mother and learn where hybrids like him actually came from. Now, the world around Gus is obviously incredibly cruel, but Sweet Tooth never lets the darkness of its narrative take over the whole show.
The audience experiences ruined cities and dangerous strangers through Gus’ eyes and his sense of wonder that keeps the story surprisingly hopeful. Every episode offers the audience answers that tie the protagonist’s personal story to a much bigger question about the very future of humans and hybrids. His search eventually takes him from Yellowstone all the way to Alaska, where his mother Birdie (Amy Seimetz) has been searching for the same answers. The question of where Gus came from gradually collides with the mystery behind the Sick, and the way these two come together makes the final season feel like the natural payoff to everything the show has been building from the start.
‘Shadow and Bone’ (2021–2023)
Shadow and Bone, based on the novel by Leigh Bardugo, is set in the kingdom of Ravka, which has quite literally been split into two by the Shadow Fold, a huge wall of darkness filled with deadly creatures known as Volcra. Anyone who crosses it is pretty much gambling with their life. The story follows ordinary cartographer Alina Starkov (Jessie Mei Li), who discovers that she is a Sun Summoner, a rare Grisha capable of creating light and possibly the only person powerful enough to destroy it. That discovery brings her under the wing of General Kirigan (Ben Barnes), the mysterious leader of Ravka’s magical army whose interest in Alina quickly becomes far more complicated than it first appears.
That story is only half of it, though. Shadow and Bone also brings Kaz Brekker (Freddy Carter), Inej Ghafa (Amita Suman), and Jesper Fahey (Kit Young) from Bardugo’s Six of Crows books into the story much earlier than the novels do. This gives the show a second storyline built around criminals, heists, and the streets of Ketterdam. Shadow and Bone Season 1 even creates an entirely new prequel adventure for the Crows so they can exist alongside Alina without simply copying their book’s plot. That decision makes the Grishaverse feel much bigger almost immediately. There’s no denying that the show has a lot of mythology to juggle, but its biggest strength is making its huge world feel exciting rather than exhausting through impeccably intentional storytelling.
‘The Umbrella Academy’ (2019–2024)
The Umbrella Academy takes the superhero formula and builds it around an extremely dysfunctional family. The story begins years earlier when Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) adopts a group of mysteriously born children and trains them to become superheroes. In the present day, his death brings the estranged siblings back under the same roof. Luther (Tom Hopper), Diego (David Castañeda), Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), Klaus (Robert Sheehan), and Viktor (Elliot Page) are all living separate lives when their brother Five (Aidan Gallagher) suddenly returns after spending years trapped in the future, with the knowledge that the world is going to end in just a few days.
From here, The Umbrella Academy could have easily turned into yet another story about superheroes preventing an apocalypse. However, here, the impending apocalypse is never separate from the Hargreeves themselves. Their childhood trauma, resentment toward Reginald, and inability to communicate keep creating problems that no superpowers can easily fix. Yet through every reset and ridiculous disaster, the show keeps returning to the same idea that saving the world is usually easier for the Hargreeves than figuring out how to be a family. That gives all the timeline chaos a surprisingly consistent center and makes the final sacrifice feel like the natural conclusion to four seasons of the siblings accidentally breaking reality and then trying to put it back together.
‘The Sandman’ (2022–2025)
The Sandman brings the idea of a nightmare to life in the most interesting way possible. The show follows Dream (Tom Sturridge), the immortal ruler of the Dreaming, who is accidentally captured by occultists and kept imprisoned for more than a century. By the time he finally escapes, his kingdom has fallen apart, several of his tools have been stolen, and dangerous creations like the Corinthian (Boyd Holbrook) are loose in the waking world. Dream’s first order of business is to rebuild what he lost, but that quickly sends him through Hell, human dreams, ancient myths, and conflicts with his own immortal family.
Now, what really makes The Sandman stand out is how comfortable the show is changing shape from one episode to the next. The show takes detours to the point where certain episodes barely focus on Dream. Instead, they follow ordinary humans, immortals, and other beings whose lives have been shaped by Dream and the world he controls. None of that feels pointless because every storyline reiterates the fact that the central character is powerful, but incredibly subtle, distant, and terrible at accepting change. Ultimately, The Sandman is not really about whether Dream can defeat something stronger than him, but whether he can actually learn from the damage he has caused.
‘Wednesday’ (2022–Present)
Wednesday brings the creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky Addams Family back to the screen but puts a spin on the story by turning the focus on Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega). The series begins with Wednesday being sent to attend Nevermore Academy, a school for supernatural outcasts where she finally gets the space to exist outside her parents’ shadow. Morticia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), Gomez (Luis Guzmán), and the rest of the Addams family are still important to the story, but the show is ultimately built around Wednesday figuring out who she is when she is no longer just the strange daughter in an already strange family.
That makes the series an easy entry point for viewers who did not grow up with earlier versions of The Addams Family while giving longtime fans of the franchise a reason to tune in for more. Nevermore itself introduces an entirely new group of werewolves, sirens, psychics, and other outcasts, while Wednesday’s friendship with Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers) gives the character a relationship that belongs completely to this version of the story. The murder mystery surrounding the school gives Wednesday something interesting to chase, but the real fun comes from watching such an iconic character move through a world specifically designed for her. Wednesday keeps enough of the Addams Family‘s gothic humor and macabre personality to feel familiar, but gives the franchise a younger, more modern identity that clearly resonated very well with the audience.

Rylee Arnold Calls Sister Lindsay Arnold Her DWTS Lifeline
Dancing With the Stars pro Rylee Arnold has a secret weapon in her corner of the ballroom — her sister Lindsay Arnold.
“I honestly think I’ve grown up as a dancer, so those critiques make so much sense to me,” Rylee, 21, exclusively told Us after the judges offered feedback about her choreography during the Tuesday, September 22, live show. “As a dancer, like, I can always just grow from it.”
Rylee also noted that Lindsay, 32, is similarly “always there to give [her] that positive feedback.”
“I mean, Connor [Wood] knows I call her all the time in rehearsals, and I’m like, ‘Do you like this dance move? Is this good?’” she said on Tuesday. “So, she’s a part of this whole process for me, and she’s the best.”
Season 35 marks Rylee’s fourth as a pro on the ballroom dance competition. Lindsay, for her part, appeared on the dance competition for 10 seasons before her 2022 exit to focus on her family. (The former mirrorball champ shares three young children with her husband, Sam Cusick.)
In addition to Lindsay, Rylee has the sweet support of her boyfriend, Walker Lyons, who recently joined the BYU Cougars football team after playing for the USC Trojans.
“He’s been awesome. I feel like we’re both, just, thriving in our lives right now, which is really amazing. He’s doing so good in football, and I’m here,” Rylee gushed to Us. “It’s definitely hard being long distance, but we call all the time. We’re super supportive, and we’re there for each other. So, it’s great.”

While Lyons, 22, is busy as a collegiate athlete, Rylee is focused on Wood, 31, and their mirrorball odds. The pair performed a tango set to Sombr’s “12 to 12” on Tuesday that earned a total score of 15 out of 30.
“Oh, my gosh, like, from week one to now, you have grown so much,” Rylee told Wood of his dance progress. “He is applying himself, and genuinely, like, we started from square one. Like, he has never had experience with anything like this. Even after our dance tonight, when he was like, ‘Oh, like, a couple mishaps,’ I’m like, ‘Honestly, I’m shocked there wasn’t more.’ He has never done this before, and he is going out, and he is being so confident and so amazing, and I’m genuinely so proud of him.”
The judges were particularly critical of Wood’s footwork in the tango, but the comedian took the note in stride.
“I do defer to the judges there, and I like the feedback,” he told Us. “I think the judges’ scores are fair, and I respect them. They know the dance; they may not know our choreography, but if something’s obvious, they have the expertise to chime in on that, so I appreciate the feedback in that way.”
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Harvey Weinstein Sentenced To 15 Years For 2006 Sex Crime
Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced in Manhattan to 15 years in prison on Wednesday. The sentencing is for sexually assaulting one-time TV production assistant Miriam Haley in 2006 and followed a legal odyssey spanning more than six years. His 2020 conviction was overturned by New York’s highest court. However, a second jury found Weinstein guilty again at a retrial last year.

Harvey Weinstein Plans To Appeal Latest Sentence
Once among the most powerful figures in the entertainment industry, Harvey Weinstein was an Oscar-winning producer. His hits included ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Chocolat.’ But his downfall came quickly after sexual assault allegations in 2017 set off the #MeToo movement.
Harvey Weinstein, who is 74, is expected to appeal and maintains that he never raped or sexually assaulted anyone. He is now likely to remain behind bars well into his 80s. Seated in a wheelchair, he was quickly moved out of the courtroom after the sentencing. Meanwhile, some of his accusers hugged and brushed away tears.
The victim, Miriam Haley, is now 49. She is a former entertainment producer now working in advertising. Haley said she met Harvey Weinstein through a mutual connection and worked briefly as a production assistant on ‘Project Runway.’ She said she accepted an invitation to visit Weinstein’s apartment and after chatting briefly, he lunged to kiss her, she testified. She said she rebuffed him. But he grabbed her, forcibly backed her into a bedroom and sexually assaulted her, ignoring her pleas to stop. She recalled Weinstein asking, “Don’t you think we’re much closer now?” after either the alleged assault or a subsequent occasion when she says she had unwanted, but not forced, sex with him. Haley also recalled telling him after the second encounter, “You know you can’t keep doing this.”
Weinstein & His Victim Both Spoke In Court
Harvey Weinstein faced up to 25 years in prison for sexually assaulting Miriam Haley at his Manhattan apartment in 2006. He has already served more than six years as his case cycled through the criminal justice system. Haley gave her account of the assault at two trials, and again addressed the court on Wednesday.
“Having been sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein has had a devastating effect on my life and sense of security that may never go away. Making the decision to speak up will have me looking over my shoulder for years to come,” Miriam Haley said.
“It’s a life sentence for me,” she added. Minutes later, Weinstein apologized while reiterating his innocence.
“Reflecting on all that has happened since 2017 has helped me recognize how my past conduct has negatively affected others. I live with many regrets and sincerely apologize to anyone I have affected with my actions,” he said.
Some of his accusers who were in court shook their heads while he spoke. Meanwhile, defense lawyer Jacob Kaplan wanted three more years on top of the six years Harvey Weinstein already served. Kaplan said a longer sentence would make it more likely that Weinstein dies in prison. Weinstein has been in the hospital six times since 2025, Kaplan said. He’s dealt with health obstacles like blood cancer, congestive heart failure, and kidney issues.
Judge, Victim & Her Lawyer Weigh In After Harvey’s Sentencing
Judge Curtis Farber said Harvey Weinstein was once a king in the movie industry, “but recognition for these achievements will pale in comparison to what you did.” He said Weinstein is now known as “a sexual predator, the literal face of the MeToo movement.”
Additionally, the judge said Weinstein treated women as “mere objects to be played with and discarded” and still hasn’t accepted responsibility, portraying himself as a victim during jailhouse interviews.
Miriam Haley afterward said she was happy with the sentence, while saying it’s clear that Weinstein has not acknowledged what he did. “I think he still feels entitled, and that’s part of the problem,” she said.
Miriam Haley’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, rejected any suggestion that Weinstein’s sentencing means the MeToo era is over. “Women are empowered in a way they have never been before,” she said.
Why Is Harvey Weinstein Being Sentenced A Second Time?
Weinstein was originally sentenced to 23 years in prison after a jury convicted him of assaulting Miriam Haley and raping an aspiring actress, Jessica Mann, in 2013. Tried for a second time last year, he was again convicted of a first-degree criminal sex act for assaulting Haley. She has also gone by the name Mimi Haleyi. In a messy split verdict, the jury acquitted him of forcibly performing oral sex on another woman, Kaja Sokola, and could not reach a verdict on a rape charge involving Mann.
After another retrial ended in a hung jury in May, Manhattan prosecutors dropped the rape charge rather than pursue a fourth trial. Mann had said she could not bear to testify again.
Harvey Weinstein is also awaiting resentencing in a separate rape case in Los Angeles. A California appeals court upheld the 2022 conviction. However, it overturned his original 16-year sentence because the judge had considered his New York convictions as an aggravating factor. Those NY convictions were later overturned.

General Hospital Early Spoilers Sept 28-Oct 2: Drew Duped! Chase Books Split Attorney
General Hospital spoilers for Sept 28-Oct 2, 2026 stun with Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) betrayed in a way he did not expect. Although, if I’m being honest, he should have. Meanwhile, Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) hires himself a divorce lawyer.
Also, during the week of Sept 28th through Oct 2nd, we will see the aftermath of Jenz Sidwell‘s (Carlo Rota) attack in Pentonville. And Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) is in hot water. And as we always do on early edition day, we go over what is happening the rest of this week and then we get into what is coming next week.
General Hospital Spoilers: Chase Gets Legal Advice
So, let’s get to it. Wednesday, Sept 23rd on General Hospital, Chase talks to Monet, the new lawyer that Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennessy) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) have hired at their law firm. She’s played by Blythe Howard. And Chase tells her, “I cannot lose my daughter.” So, he’s getting some advice and Chase asked the lawyer, “Monet, what strategy is best to make sure he does not lose Phoebe?” I bet it’s going to be to expose what Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has done.
Meanwhile, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) tells Brook Lynn that if Chase ends their marriage over this, he is the liar. I mean, Tracy’s got a lot of nerve considering Chase is mad over lies that Tracy insisted that Brook Lynn tell Chase. And then Tracy gets a new ally. This may be Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) because the General Hospital fall preview says that he and Tracy team up against Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) to take her down for good. And Chase is probably going to be collateral damage in this along with Brooklyn’s marriage.
GH Spoilers: Trina’s Big Decision
Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) reaches a decision. This could be about her music career since she is furious at Brook Lynn. And I think it’s going to be pivotal to Trina’s stalker storyline, which I think it’s either Simon (Grady Eldridge) or Quinn (Jequan Jackson). Somebody makes Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) an offer. This could be related to Trina’s stalker or music career. Or maybe it’s a new job since he’s no longer working for Willow.
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) strategize about Drew and Sonny tells Ric if Drew wants to take a shot, let him try. We still haven’t seen the auction of Sidwell’s properties where Drew wants to get the shares. So, we’ll see. And Ava also tells Willow that if Nina was framed, she might know by who. Obviously, Ava is trying to point Willow in the right direction, which is Drew, but he thinks Ava won’t tell because of her involvement.
Also, Drew tells somebody that he started to think that they were avoiding him. This might be Michael. He runs into somebody at the gym at the Metro Court. And we also have Drew spotting Willow and Chase having an interaction and he takes notice. So, Drew got his revenge on Nina and now he is moving on to Willow and he may use Chase to destroy Willow.
General Hospital Spoilers: Sidwell Ambushed
This week an inmate tells Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) to find a reason not to be in his cell after lunch and then Sidwell is cornered by two inmates in the cell that he shares with Curtis. So looks like this may be after Portia brings baby Desmond up to Pentonville to see his dad Curtis.
Then Thursday, Sept 24th on General Hospital, Alexis has a meeting with somebody she may take on as a client. I think it would be really interesting if Ava put Alexis on retainer and then Ava could tell Alexis what happened with Jack Brennan and Drew and the pills and get Alexis’s legal advice because Ava and Alexis have a truce.
Now Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) is stunned. So she may confront Justine about seeing her kiss Sonny because this week Justine tells Sonny that their secret is out. Tracy tells somebody her plan. It might be Michael because they have shared goals of ruining Willow and getting Chase away from Brooklyn.
Drew and Michael put all their cards on the table. Their mutual hate of Willow is a common interest. We also have Ava going off on Sonny. I’m betting this is about Avery since Sonny likes to use their daughter against her. After this encounter, Ava says he has to go down. So, she may be talking to Drew about them making a big move against Sonny.
General Hospital Spoilers: Lulu Shocked & Ava Plots
Friday, Sept 25th on General Hospital, Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) helps Brook Lynn with something. Could be with the baby. Since Hudson wants to see his daughter and is looking for chances, he may prod about the state of her marriage to Chase. And I wonder if he’s going to tell Brook Lynn he saw Chase at Willow’s place.
Also, Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) is shocked. So, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) may tell Lulu about the stunt Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) pulled in Drew’s car and that he took Charlotte’s phone and banned her from seeing Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn).
We also have Jordan demanding answers and this could be a conversation with Justine or maybe with Sonny. And with Justine about to run for DA, her continuing to see Sonny thinking their affair is going to stay secret is absolutely foolish. But this may also be Jordan talking to the warden since Curtis may be collateral damage in the Pentonville attack on Sidwell.
Even though Curtis was warned to stay away, I really doubt that he will. Also, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright) is truthful with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). So, Carly may tell Jason what she caught Charlotte doing and how worried Carly is about the effect his twin brother Drew is having on people that she cares about because of the ban on Danny seeing Scout Cain (Kayden Brenna Tokarski).
Also, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) refuses a request from Michael. So, I am kind of wondering if he’s going to ask his sister Josslyn to help him in plotting against Willow.


GH Spoilers: Justine Faces a Dilemma
Then the week of Sept 28th through Oct 2nd on General Hospital, we will see that despite Jason being out of the mob, he is still Sonny’s friend. And we are soon going to see Jason, Sonny, and Ric discussing the Drew problem because it is definitely a problem for Jason’s son Danny as well as a professional problem for Sonny.
Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) and Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) may get closer now that Britt and Jason have split and she is really going through it. We also know that Sonny is now the biggest obstacle to Justine winning her campaign to be Port Charles District Attorney. Jordan already knows their secret is out and they were just sloppy. Honestly, Justine and Sonny about being spotted outside the Brown Dog. So somebody else might have seen them as well.
Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) presses Serena Baldwin (Kelly Kruger) to keep working on Michael to get more shares of Deception. Serena really doesn’t want to pull a big old con on Michael. But of course, Lucy is not going to let up, especially since Brook Lynn is pushing her to hand back the shares that Lucy blackmailed out of her over that false statement to the cops that Chase busted her for. And if Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) approaches Drew and says he wants to see Scout, I’m sure that is going to go very badly. Rocco talked to Scout about it and you know she’s trying to make it clear it’s just not a good idea.
General Hospital Spoilers: Trina’s Stalker Story Escalates
Anna has some more sessions with her therapist. It’s good to see that Britt and Anna buried the hatchet and that both of them are trying to forgive and move forward. It looks like Danny and Charlotte will not give up on taking down Drew and they’re going to be in Drew’s house very soon.
We’ll also see more of Trina’s stalker. And word on the street is that whoever this guy is may attack Kai, possibly killing him during November sweeps. Also, I shared the rumor that Sidwell is going to grab the chance to escape after the attack on him in Pentonville. So, watch to see if he is sent to General Hospital because that’s where he’s supposed to break out from.
