In an era defined by singles, snippets, and endless scrolling, Paul Hennessy did something radically patient: he trusted listeners with abundance.
The Cost Of The Escape arrived all at once, twelve albums-144 songs, and in doing so, it quietly challenged assumptions about how modern audiences engage with music. Rather than asking for constant attention, the project offers permission. “I don’t have a preferred way,” Hennessy says. “That’s intentional.”

The work can be entered anywhere. One song in four minutes, an album in an hour, or the full sweep, experienced slowly over weeks or months. Hennessy likens it to standing at the edge of the ocean. “Some people will dip a toe. Others will let the currents carry them for a while. I leave that choice entirely to the listener.”
What’s striking is that listeners are choosing to stay. The project’s reach has grown not through spectacle, but through sustained engagement. Songs are being saved, revisited, and lived with. “That kind of engagement says something different than applause,” Hennessy observes. “It says, this mattered enough to keep.”

That response reflects the deeper purpose behind the scale. Hennessy wasn’t trying to outpace attention spans. He was acknowledging how storytelling has evolved. Entire seasons of television are binged, and the world moves fluidly between short-form and long-form narratives. “I don’t see that as a flaw,” he says. “I see it as a reality.”

The Cost Of The Escape was designed to exist within that reality. It functions both as individual moments and as an extended arc, with themes unfolding gradually. Freedom, for Hennessy, isn’t choosing between formats. “It’s about trusting the work to hold up at any distance,” he explains. “Zoom in or zoom out, it still needs to mean something.”
That trust is rooted in discipline. The hardest part of creating the project wasn’t emotional vulnerability, but consistency. “The real challenge wasn’t staying honest,” he says. “It was never sacrificing the work itself.” Every song had to earn its time. Hooks mattered, and ideas had to land. If a thought wasn’t true, it was discarded and rewritten.

That rigor shows in the details. In Bulletproof, a single line captures emotional contradiction: “If my love is bulletproof, then why am I afraid?” In A Large and Better Life, affection is offered without possession: “I’ll kiss you, and wish you a large and better life.” Other songs, like Life, strip experience down to repetition and weight, naming the grind without softening it. Different listeners gravitate toward different tracks, which Hennessy sees as essential. “That’s not a flaw in the project,” he says. “That’s the point.”

When Guinness World Records confirmed the release as the largest multi-album launch of its kind, the recognition expanded the conversation rather than concluding it. “What mattered more was that it created a platform big enough for the songs to actually be heard,” Hennessy reflects. Now, with the record behind him, the path forward feels open rather than heavy. “It feels like freedom,” he says, “but not the kind that sends you off alone.” Collaboration, curiosity, and continued craft are what excite him most.
In the end, The Cost Of The Escape offers company. Song by song, it traces what happens when we stop running long enough to listen and discover that meaning often waits right where we are willing to stay.
There’s a new TV show topping Prime Video’s viewership charts this week: the mystery thriller series 56 Days, starring Dove Cameron and Avan Jogia. Adapted from Catherine Ryan Howard‘s novel, the show was developed by Karyn Usher (Prison Break) and Lisa Zwerling (ER) and executive produced by James Wan. It follows an intense story involving a highly charged whirlwind romance and a gruesome murder. But in case that’s not quite what you’re in the mood for right now, there are still a lot of other options to explore on the streaming service. Here’s a look at three great shows we think you should binge on Prime Video this week, ranging from witty comedies to fascinating dramas.
For more recommendations, check out our list of the best shows and movies on Prime Video.
Created, written, and directed by Graham Linehan, The IT Crowd is a British sitcom that revolves around the IT department of a fictional London company. The story kicks off when Jen Barber (Katherine Parkinson) is appointed as the new head of IT, even though she has no experience with the field, and the show largely follows her various attempts to manage her new socially inept subordinates, Maurice Moss (Richard Ayoade) and Roy Trenneman (Chris O’Dowd). Besides the three leads, the series also stars Chris Morris, Matt Berry, Noel Fielding, and more in supporting roles.
Originally broadcast on Channel 4 beginning in 2006, The IT Crowd was a critically acclaimed series in the UK but suffered from poor ratings initially. Viewership picked up by the end of the show, however, and the series is now regarded as a cult classic, with its streaming release bringing it new fans from around the world. A witty workplace sitcom with intelligent humor and delightfully weird characters, The IT Crowd also earned a number of accolades during its original run, including three BAFTAs out of seven nominations and an International Emmy.
Created, written, and directed by Ben Chanan, The Capture is a British mystery thriller show that explores cases involving far-reaching conspiracies and cutting-edge technology. Holliday Grainger stars as Rachel Carey, who starts the show as a newly-appointed Detective Inspector tasked with investigating the case of a British soldier charged with the murder of his lawyer. The show also stars Ginny Holder, Ben Miles, Lia Williams, and Ron Perlman in other main cast roles.
The Capture was quite well-received by critics when it first premiered on BBC One in 2019, earning praise for its thrilling narrative and timely story. With its impeccable performances and tense storytelling, the show is easily one of the best surveillance thrillers on television, and it provides some keen insights into how modern technologies like deepfakes and AI video manipulation can have a disastrous effect on society. A second, even better-reviewed season followed in 2022, and the show is all set to premiere its third season in 2026, making this the perfect time to binge the series so far.
Created by Brian Watkins, Outer Range is a sci-fi neo-Western series starring Josh Brolin as Royal Abbott, the patriarch of a Wyoming rancher family. The show explores the strange events that ensue when Royal discovers a mysterious void on his land, following the family’s struggles to defend their property from rivals while dealing with the disappearance of their daughter-in-law, the puzzle of the void, and the arrival of an enigmatic stranger. Besides Brolin, the series’ ensemble cast also features Imogen Poots, Lili Taylor, Tom Pelphrey, Tamara Podemski, Lewis Pullman, and more.
Outer Range was widely acclaimed by critics and viewers alike when it first premiered on Prime Video in 2022, and it continued to enjoy great reviews throughout its two-season run. A gripping sci-fi drama that combines a Yellowstone-style Western narrative with a fascinating sci-fi mystery, the series is easily one of the streamer’s best shows in recent years, anchored by the intense performances of its star-studded cast, particularly Brolin, Poots, and Pelphrey. However, Outer Range was prematurely canceled after its second season, cutting the story short on a frustrating cliffhanger, though it’s still an enjoyable show despite its short life.
General Hospital 2-week spoilers for February 23-March 06, 2026 suggest Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) is going to be furious about something and Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) is increasingly desperate.
On Monday, February 23rd, we’ve got Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) telling his mom, Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen), he does not like staying at Drew Cain Quartermaine’s house. Boy, those kids have gotten used to the Quartermaine mansion. And I think they don’t like knowing that catatonic Drew is in the house. Can’t blame them.
Damian Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) tells Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) he is not going to fight Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) to win Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms). Spinelli tells Lulu also that he assumes Maxie is going to pick Nathan over him.
But he cannot in good conscience, you know, put Maxie into this position. So, at the cemetery standing near his grave, Nathan is talking to Maxie about how weird this all is. She is feeling in over her head and overwhelmed. Waking from a coma to an undead husband is quite the shocker.
Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) tells Alexis he’s got news about Drew’s case. I think Ric is going to tell her that Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) planted Drew’s key on Michael Corinthos’ (Rory Gibson) keyring. Alexis is skeptical, and she may not believe Chase would plant evidence—and he didn’t. As we all know, he only called attention to it, but I don’t think the PCPD is going to believe him.
Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) and Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) talk about Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner). Of course, Gio is quite afraid that Emma is not going to come back from her San Francisco trip, where she went to tell her parents that Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) has gone off the deep end and is stuck in a psychiatric institute in France.
Josslyn tells somebody that she’ll drop it, and it might be in this conversation with Gio or talking with somebody else. Michael is enraged and he punches Chase in the face because Michael is quite certain that Chase planted that key on his ring. Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) makes a promise, maybe to the DA, that if Chase did this, he’ll fire him. We’ll see who he’s promising.
DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) tells Dante if they mess up with this again, heads are going to roll. Chase may have to go; he may have to be fired. Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Chase have a tense private talk on Monday, likely after the brawl with Michael, and Brook Lynn has had enough of the whole Willow thing.
On Tuesday, February 24th, we’ve got Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) grilling Jason Morgan (Steve Burton). The WSB director circles around to “Stone Cold.” I’m betting that Cullum wants to make sure Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) cut Jason out of her life like she said she did.
She and Jason have only been sneaking around on the sly seeing each other. Something has Lulu hesitant, and it might be Nathan. He may still want to date her after this conversation with Maxie. Plus, Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) gets some critical info. This may be about Britt’s medications and where they’re stashed, or more on Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) and Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota).
Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) confides in his brother, Ric, and it might be about the angle he’s working with Sidwell or Justine, or his concern over what’s going on with Michael. Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) issues someone a warning; it could be Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) about something Jenz Sidwell’s doing, or it could be to Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) about Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and the baby.
Wednesday, February 25th is the last day of sweeps, by the way. So, look for a hopefully big finish. Dante needs to talk to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and he may have questions about Willow since Justine remains certain that she’s guilty. Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) is encouraged by Cody Bell (Josh Kelly), and I think he’s going to tell Molly to go ahead and publish her romance novel. Looks like Cody has read it all and he’s going to be a big fan.
Britt and Jason ponder their options. This may be about getting their hands on her medications to reverse engineer them, which has been tougher now that they’re being doled out one at a time. Chase faces a hard decision. He may quit before the PCPD fire him, or this could be something about Brook Lynn and her being sick and tired of all the Willow nonsense. Gio gets the best news on Wednesday. I bet that it is Emma coming back to Port Charles.
Thursday, February 26th, Dr. Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) wants to chat with Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). I’m sure it’s about him dating her mom, Portia. I wonder if Trina will be hostile or if she will be okay. Now, everybody’s tried to make it clear that he wasn’t getting with her mom while she was with her dad, but we’ll see. Trina can be stubborn like that.
Laura holds a press conference, and I believe it’s to endorse Alexis to step in to take Drew’s place for the rest of his term, although it will require a special election. Jason and Sonny debrief each other, and I’m sure it’s about so many things—Sidwell, Jack Brennan, Britt, and Michael—there’s a lot on the list.
Jenz Sidwell gets tough. He’s playing hardball with somebody and it may be Britt or Marco. It could be about Deception because Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) was pushing his buttons on that.
Or his double trouble love life with Ava Jerome (Maura West) and Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring). Alexis is stunned by something. Willow may also announce to the press she’s running to replace Drew with his blessing. Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) may set up a big media splash because she’s all about getting Willow into Congress on General Hospital.
Now, Friday, February 27th, Lucy is in trouble. She’s going to have to explain herself, and it may be to Sidwell. She is caught doing something that she shouldn’t be doing. Either sabotaging Ava is likely, or trying to get some dirt on Sidwell because, remember, she was telling Sonny that she wants to dig into everything he’s doing at Deception. Lucy may be poking around at Wyndemere.
Lucas demands answers, and I bet it’s from Marco, maybe on the topic of criminality and his father and Britt. Plus, Willow makes a vow to herself. Maybe it’s about taking Michael down to get Drew’s congressional seat to get all the revenge she wants.
Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati) wants Britt to help her by the end of the week. I bet it’s on matchmaking Maxie and Nathan, but I don’t think that Britt is going to play those reindeer games with her mom. Plus, Laura has to find some chill. I think she’s a little annoyed about the way the press conference turns out.


The week of March 2nd through the 6th, we’ve got Maxie struggling to figure out what is next. Nathan being back is a lot to process. So are Spinelli’s proactively hurt feelings and defeatist attitude, as he thinks it’s already done. I think that’s going to bother Maxie. I think she may yank a knot in him.
Lulu and Nathan can’t shake their feelings for each other. Maxie and Nathan may agree the past is past, but I don’t think it’s going to be that easy for Lulu. Plus, there’s a chance Nathan and Maxie’s feelings may evolve. Nathan still has a twist ahead when we find out more about his missing seven years.
Willow doubles down on her plan to get everything she wants—a double dose of revenge against her ex-husband, Michael, and her current husband, Drew. Alexis prepares for battle. She wants to beat Willow. She’s furious that that would-be husband killer is trying to take Drew’s seat in Congress, and Michael is desperate to prove his innocence.
The walls are closing in on Chase. Meanwhile, Drew is desperate to communicate and be saved. If somebody could help him, he’d be back on his feet as soon as that medication wore off, probably in a day or two. Portia and Isaiah move forward as do Curtis and Jordan, but Jordan may be anxious that baby bonding could reunite Curtis and Portia. Lucas may find himself in danger and in over his head out at Spoon Island.
Obrecht is determined to get Nathan and Maxie back together. Spinelli braces for the worst despite reassurances. Emma is coming home soon. There is more cousin love and antics from Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) and Danny Morgan (Asher Jared Antonyzyn), and Cody and Molly enjoy their reunion.
Bold and the Beautiful 2-week spoilers for February 23-March 06, 2026 indicate Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) is going to be horrified and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) is ready to throw down.
Monday, February 23rd, we have Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric Forrester (John McCook) continuing their heart-to-heart that was carried over from Friday’s episode. The good thing is Ridge and Eric finally reach an agreement. John McCook confirmed in a recent interview that Eric and Ridge’s feud is over and they now understand each other’s perspective.
Eric is going to go back to Forrester Creations, but it’s going to be on his own terms and his own timeline. We’ll see what he says about Katie and the Logan launch. Will is hit with an ultimatum from Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). It looks like a repeat of her last ultimatum, but maybe with a demand for an immediate answer or else. We all know how much men like ultimatums—no one likes them, for that matter. It looks like they do break up on Monday.
There’s also a massive showdown between Katie and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) about Eric. This is a carryover from Friday’s episode. Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) going to join in, and then Ridge is going to join in. Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) is there trying to referee. We’ll see if Eric joins or if he’s taking a rest. There may be no coming back from this fight for Brooke and Katie because they eviscerate each other verbally.
Katie is telling Brooke that she’s being very egotistical about this. Brooke claps back at Katie that basically all she’s done is copy Forrester, steal the Logan name, steal Eric, and use Bill Spencer’s money. She tells her she hasn’t done anything for herself, much less start a legacy. Then Brooke pulls a slow clap on her sister that I know is going to rub her the wrong way.
Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) and Will talk after his split from Electra. He goes back to the Malibu house. Dylan comforts Will and hugs him, but you know, that’s all right. Electra’s about to get some comfort from somebody hot as well on Bold and the Beautiful.
Tuesday, February 24th, we’ve got Katie defending herself and the choices she’s made. I think that’s to start Logan and to agree when Eric asked her to hire him. She didn’t go recruit him. Katie is having a throwdown with Ridge this week and says that she and Bill gave Eric purpose and the respect that Ridge wouldn’t give his own dad. Ridge snaps and screams that Katie and Bill gave Eric nothing.
Back over at Forrester Creations, Electra opens up to RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti). I’m sure she’s upset and is going to tell him about Will and Dylan. I’m guessing Electra didn’t get the answer she wanted from Will after that ultimatum.


Wednesday, February 25th is the last day of sweeps, and it looks like they’re going hard on the younger generation. It is not clear if we’re going to get anything else on Ridge and Eric because the only spoilers for Wednesday are about the kids.
Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) is plotting to manipulate Electra and looks like she is trying to get her and RJ together. This comes hot on the heels of Will and Electra splitting. Ivy must really want Will and his inappropriateness gone from Electra’s life.
This week, RJ tells Electra that something is wrong with Will if he’s not willing to do everything he has to do to hold on to her. Then RJ kisses Electra as Ivy lurks and watches. Will is also going to see this kiss, by the way. I would not be surprised if Ivy orchestrated it to make sure that Will sees Electra and RJ talking and kissing.
Thursday, February 26th, Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) sees something that she should not. This is something Ivy is doing; she’s got either her own purse or Electra’s purse, and she’s shuffling some kind of paper around and acting really guilty. Dylan comes into the design office and Ivy goes off on her, telling her, “Don’t you dare tell anyone about this.”
Ivy is sitting on some kind of huge secret. This week, newlyweds Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Dylan share a warm embrace in the CEO office at Forrester, and we’ll see if she tells him that Ivy was threatening her. RJ gets some big information from Electra, and this may be when she tells him that she and Will split up. RJ is going to be so completely thrilled. Plus, Ivy’s plan is working like a charm.
Friday, February 27th, Ivy sets more of her plot into motion to keep pushing Electra and RJ closer together. Plus, Dylan gets news that shocks her. Will may come back and tell her that he walked in on RJ and Electra kissing. Li and Will are also going to share a close moment at the beach house, which is going to get messy soon.
The week of March 2nd through the 6th, Dylan and Will continue to get closer, and we may see them sharing a kiss as well. Dylan considers her next move on whether to expose Ivy and her threats. I definitely think Dylan will at least tell Carter, but she may tell Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) as well.
RJ and Electra also get closer, but I wonder if she will tap the brakes with RJ because she’s fresh off of a split. Ivy is out of control with manipulations and she may try and get Will fired. By the way, Ashleigh Brewer should be on maternity leave pretty soon. We will have to see Ivy checking out within the next few weeks.
Katie is reeling from her fight with Brooke, and we may see the Logan sisters tossing each other out of their lives. This could be a dealbreaker that fractures the family. Donna gets extra protective of Eric, though he has no big health crisis going on. John McCook confirmed that his collapsing was just a stress reaction to the design work and the explosive secrets.
Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) hears about the fallout between her mom and Aunt Katie. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is going to get a much different update from Bill and Katie on the big fight. We will find out more about what’s next for Eric and if Katie brings in some help so that he is not so stressed out and exhausted.

Robert Carradine — the actor best known for his roles in “Lizzie McGuire,” “Revenge of the Nerds,” and “The Long Riders,” — has died after taking his own life after a nearly two decade battle with Bipolar Disorder.
In a statement to Deadline, Carradine’s family called him a “beacon of light” in a world that can feel dark, and described his struggle with mental illness as “valiant.” They said they hope his journey helps shine a light on the stigma surrounding Bipolar Disorder and asked for privacy as they grieve.
His older brother, Keith Carradine, said the family wants people to understand there is “no shame” in the illness that ultimately “got the best of him.” He remembered Robert as profoundly gifted, funny, wise and accepting, adding they will celebrate both his life and his strength in fighting the disorder for so many years.
Robert was the youngest son of legendary actor John Carradine and the brother of actors David and Keith Carradine, as well as Disney Imagineer Christopher Carradine. He made his big-screen debut in 1972 alongside John Wayne in “The Cowboys.”
Carradine went on to appear in Hal Ashby‘s Oscar-winning “Coming Home” with Jane Fonda and Jon Voight, and Martin Scorsese‘s “Mean Streets.”
His biggest pop-culture impact came in 1984, starring as head nerd Lewis Skolnick in “Revenge of the Nerds,” a role that defined a generation. Years later, he found new fans playing Lizzie’s dad on “Lizzie McGuire.”
Carradine is survived by his children, grandchildren, brothers and extended family.
Robert was 71.
RIP.

UPDATE — 2/23/26, 6:15 p.m. ET: The pastor of the church attended by Caleb C. Flynn and his wife, Ashley Flynn has commented on her death after Caleb was accused of killing her in their Tipp City, Ohio home on February 16.
Jordan Paul Hansen, the pastor of the Christian Life Center, said in a statement shared to Facebook on Friday, February 20, that Ashley “was a devoted wife, loving mother, and cherished” church member.
“As the events surrounding this tragedy continue to unfold, we join you in the shock, sadness, and unanswered questions many are experiencing,” the statement read, in part.
Hansen said that Ashley had two daughters.
“Two young daughters have lost their mother, and a family continues to walk through profound grief,” Hansen wrote. “Please continue lifting them in prayer.”
Original story below:
The husband of an Ohio woman who was found shot dead inside her home following a reported burglary has been charged with murder in her death, authorities said.
Caleb C. Flynn, 39, was arrested the evening of Thursday, February 19, in connection with the killing of Ashley Flynn, 37, which occurred the morning of Monday, February 16, at their Tipp City home, according to a news release shared by the Tipp City Police Department.
Caleb appeared on the reality show American Idol in 2013.
Caleb is charged with one count of murder, two counts of felonious assault with a deadly weapon, and two counts of tampering with evidence, court records viewed by Us Weekly show.
Caleb pleaded not guilty to the charges at an arraignment the morning of Friday, February 20, court records show.
His defense attorney, Patrick L. Mulligan, said in an emailed statement to Us on February 20 that Caleb “looks forward to defending this case.”
“We are both disappointed and concerned about the short timeline and seeming rush to judgment in this case,” Mulligan said. “When the government runs out of leads or can’t develop leads and looks at a surviving spouse in cases such as these, the chance of a wrongful conviction increases.”
Caleb and Ashley, who was substitute teacher and school volleyball coach, were church members of the Christian Life Center in Butler Township, where Caleb previously worked as a music pastor, the Dayton Daily News reported.
While working for his church’s music ministry, Caleb appeared on American Idol during the show’s 12th season, according to the newspaper.
In an interview on the show, the newspaper reported that he expressed his love for Ashley, saying: “I love my wife more than anything. She is very, very pretty. I love her.”
On February 16, Tipp City police said in an initial news release that offices arrived at the Flynns’ home around 2:31 a.m. that morning after “a reported burglary with a resident inside the home who had been shot.”
They found Caleb, Caleb and Ashley’s two children, and Ashley, who was pronounced dead at the scene, according to police, Us previously reported.
Tipp City police noted that officers did not locate any potential suspects after securing the crime scene.
In an update issued later that day, the police department said the circumstances surrounding the investigation were a “complex situation.”
According to Caleb’s criminal complaint, he is accused of staging the crime scene on February 16.
The complaint states that he “murdered his wife” that morning and “officers were [led] astray by the staging of the crime scene.”
In a statement shared by Tipp City Schools on February 16, Ashley was remembered for “her beautiful smile, warmth, kindness, and the positive impact she had on so many.”
She previously taught for the school district before starting work as a substitute teacher, according to the district. She also coached Tippecanoe Middle School volleyball.
On February 19, the police department said, “As previously stated, the family and community deserve a thorough, professional, and compassionate investigation into this very sensitive matter.”
“As a result of the investigation, probable cause existed to charge Caleb Flynn with the murder of his wife,” the department added. “Due to the ongoing nature of this case, specific investigative details will not be released at this time.”
Caleb’s bond has been set at $2 million, court records show.
If he posts bond, he will be put on house arrest and electronic monitoring, and will not be allowed to see his children, according to court records.
Audrey Hepburn fans have mixed reactions to Lily Collins being cast as the iconic actress in an upcoming movie about the making of Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
“It’s with almost 10 years of development and a lifetime of admiration and adoration for Audrey that I’m finally able share this,” Collins, 36, wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 23, alongside a Deadline article about her casting. “Honored and ecstatic don’t begin to express how I feel.”
Friends of Collins celebrated the news in the comments section, with many noting that Collins is a perfect fit for the role due to her resemblance to Hepburn, who died in 1993 at age 63.
“I SWEAR TO GOD. I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE THE MOMENT WE MET!!! YESSSS!!!!!!🙌🙌🙌,” Modern Family actress Sarah Hyland commented.
Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale added, “Absolutely born for this 👏 so happy for you.”
Collins’ Emily in Paris costar Ashley Park wrote, “ESSSSSSS OFFICIALLLL BABYYYYY😍.”
On X, many fans of Hepburn debated whether or not Collins is the right fit for the role.
“Can Lily Collins really match the timeless elegance of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s? 👀,” one person wrote.
Another user added, “Lily Collins is genuinely one of the few people who could pull this off without it feeling like cosplay. she has that same effortless elegance that made Hepburn iconic in the first place. the resemblance is almost unsettling.”
A third fan argued, “Seriously? They couldn’t find someone more fitting than her? This feels off.”

Many critics of the casting had hoped that Ariana Grande would portray Hepburn. (Grande, 32, has cited Hepburn as one of her fashion influences.)
In January 2025, the Wicked actress addressed rumors that she was set to play Hepburn in an upcoming biopic.
“Oh my goodness, why is everyone asking me this? You’re insane!” Grande told Access Hollywood at the time.
In a separate interview with Entertainment Tonight, Grande added of potentially playing Hepburn, “That would have to be done so well and so perfectly … I don’t know.”
Back in 2024, Collins’ father-in-law, Malcolm McDowell, compared the Emily in Paris star to Hepburn.
“Lily is absolutely a star,” he told People at the time. “I’m in awe of her work. I think she’s one of the best young actresses around. I love watching her — she’s got that Audrey Hepburn kind of thing going, which is indefinable in a way, but it’s there.”
Hepburn rose to fame in the 1953 romantic comedy Roman Holiday. She went on to star in several famous films, including Sabrina (1954), Funny Face (1957) The Nun’s Story (1959), Charade (1963) and My Fair Lady (1964).
In 1961, Hepburn starred in the romantic comedy Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which follows socialite Holly Golightly as she meets a struggling writer who moves into her apartment building. Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress at that year’s Academy Awards for her role in the film.
Today, Hepburn is known as both a film and fashion icon.
The former Duke and Duchess of York have faced scrutiny over their connection with Jeffrey Epstein, which has escalated following the release of Epstein-related files.
More recently, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, adding to his woes. As pressure mounts, the royal family has totally shunned them, but is there any redemption for the estranged couple?
Article continues below advertisement

In light of Andrew and Ferguson’s downward spiral, sources say there is no hope that they could bounce back, as their reputation has taken a serious hit. “There’s no real return to royal life,” one source told US Weekly, adding that the estranged couple is “very much in survival mode.”
With their inner circle cutting ties, the exes are now leaning on each other. “They are miserable,” the insider added, “and misery loves company.”
Following Andrew’s arrest, King Charles made it clear in his statement that the “law must take its course,” and now the source says he feels “validated” for distancing himself.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly “disgusted and appalled” with the situation, reinforcing their zero-tolerance approach to reputational risk.

Other members of the brood have also kept away. According to another insider, “No one has spoken to him since the latest batch of Epstein files was released.”
Andrew’s controversy has not only been a pain to his family but also to the royal institution at large. Royal expert Christopher Andersen explained that the British monarchy survives on public trust, but Andrew’s scandals have pushed it to the breaking point, sparking questions that need answers.
Crisis communications expert David E. Johnson chimed in that the fallout could even affect Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy, arguing that the public may wonder whether she should have taken action sooner.

Andersen shared another perspective, suggesting that Andrew could be regretting his mother’s death, noting that the late queen did her best to “shield her favorite son.” He pointed out that Andrew has since shown entitlement, believing he could avoid consequences because the queen would step in.
However, now, neither Andrew nor Ferguson can escape reputational damage, even if no formal legal charges are brought against them.

Andrew and Ferguson’s fallout has also taken a toll on their daughters, as they were said to be “horrified, devastated, and in a state of total shock” at Andrew’s detention.
An insider claimed Beatrice feels mortified and has faced intense public scrutiny in the U.K. Now, more than ever, the sisters are said to be supporting one another while maintaining distance from their parents.
“They don’t want to be associated with the scandal. They don’t spend a lot of time with Fergie and Andrew,” one source said.

As their daughters reportedly distanced themselves following Andrew’s detention on February 19, Ferguson remained noticeably silent, fueling speculation about her whereabouts.
The Blast reported that those close to her noted she is in a bad condition and was struggling with her mental health, fearing that the scrutiny would soon shift to her.
Days afterward, her location came to light. According to The Blast, Ferguson had quietly left the U.K. and admitted herself to the Paracelsus Recovery Clinic in Zurich, Switzerland, and has been there for a month.
The wellness facility is considered among the most expensive in the world, with rates reaching $17,500 per night.

As Ferguson takes on recovery, more dots are being connected about Andrew’s detention.
Per The Blast, former Met Police Chief Superintendent Dal Babu explained that police don’t usually need to arrest someone under investigation when they could simply request a statement.
In Babu’s view, Andrew being taken into custody suggests “significant evidence.” Babu further noted that taking a suspect into custody enables authorities to conduct property searches tied to the investigation, emphasizing that such a move is never made lightly.

As the fallout from Andrew and Ferguson’s troubles continues, their daughters are said to be confronting difficult truths.
As The Blast reported, a source alleged the sisters are “putting pieces of the puzzle together in real time and realizing they may have been used.”
The insider added that the realization has left them heartbroken and in despair, but they are said to still love their parents.

As the odds for him taking home his first Oscar increase, famed director Ryan Coogler also has some good news to celebrate on the television front.
According to Deadline, Hulu is officially moving forward with Coogler’s reboot of “The X-Files” by ordering a pilot. Oscar nominee Danielle Deadwyler is set for one of the lead roles, with Jennifer Yale as the showrunner.
From Hulu’s Onyx Collective and 20th Century Television, Coogler will write and direct the pilot. Per the outlet, the reboot of the original series is described as “two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.”

Coogler previously spoke about “The X-Files” reboot last year and expressed his excitement at offering his take on the classic series.
“I’ve been excited about that for a long time, and I’m fired up to get back to it,” he said, per Deadline. “Some of those episodes, if we do our jobs right, will be really f-cking scary. We’re gonna try to make something really great and really be something for the real ‘X-Files’ fans, and maybe find some new ones.”

On Sunday, February 22, Ryan Coogler made history by becoming the first Black person to win a BAFTA for Best Original Screenplay for his box-office and critical smash “Sinners.”
As he received his award at the 79th annual ceremony, Coogler admitted that he was shocked to win, while also paying tribute to his fellow nominees.
“I’m nominated with some incredible writers,” he said. “I’ll share this with y’all… Y’all already won by being here.”
” Sinners” walked away from the event earning a total of three awards, including one for Best Supporting Actress for British star Wunmi Mosaku.

Per Deadline, “Sinners” shattered the previous Oscar nominations record last set by the 2016 musical drama “La La Land.”
“Sinners” earned a record-breaking 16 nominations across multiple categories at this year’s ceremony, including Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Director. Coming in right behind “Sinners” was the Paul Thomas Anderson drama “One Battle After Another” with 14 nominations.
With the “Sinners” recognition, Michael B. Jordan has earned his first Oscar nomination. Two of his co-stars in the film were also recognized for their work, as Delroy Lindo (Best Supporting Actor) and Wunmi Mosaku (Best Supporting Actress) were nominated as well.

In addition to Ryan Coogler being up for Best Director, “Sinners” is also up for Best Original Screenplay, Best Music Score, Best Song, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, Best Editing, Best Makeup & Hair, Best Casting, and finally Best Visual Effects.

“I did not have any expectations when it came to the recognition of what they [the team] did,” he said. “For me, people just showing up to the movies and having a good time, that would’ve been enough. That is worth all the effort. But that people would consider the craft and the achievements that went into it individually. It’s so rewarding.”
The director, who has worked with Michael B. Jordan multiple times since their first collaboration making “Fruitvale Station,” also shared his happiness for the actor’s nomination.

“Obviously, the three of us have been working with Michael since 2012. So that’s a 14-year relationship. So to see him achieve this recognition by his peers, it’s just the best feeling to have. We just feel really, really, really happy that they said yes to the project, first of all, and happy for them,” Coogler said.

To date, “Sinners” has grossed $400 million globally and, as a result, broke a string of box office records along the way.
According to Screen Rant, the film became the highest-grossing R-rated film to debut during Easter weekend, earned the biggest opening weekend for an original R-rated horror movie since 2021, ranked in the ninth spot as the best opening weekend of all time for an R-rated horror movie, and the best opening weekend for an original movie in the 2020s.
Ethan Hawke showed his wild side during a recent question-and-answer session that has gone viral on social media.
The actor revealed that he enjoys eating in bed but joked that he doesn’t eat “food” there when asked about the pros or cons of the habit. Just a few days ago, he walked his daughter, Maya, down the aisle as she married Christian Lee Hutson.
Ethan Hawke shares the 26-year-old with Uma Thurman, to whom he was married from 1998 to 2005. The former couple also shares a son, Levon.

In a rare and risqué moment of honesty, Ethan Hawke gave a brief glimpse into his sex life during interviews with British Vogue and British GQ.
When asked a seemingly innocent question about whether it’s “bad to eat in bed,” the actor didn’t stick to the topic of snacks, choosing instead to reveal a side of himself usually reserved for the bedroom.
“Incredibly vulgar things are going through my brain right now,” the actor told the outlets after reading out the question.
“I like to eat in bed, but I don’t eat food,” he added, alongside a mischievous laugh that underscored his sexual innuendo.
Perhaps not wanting to push things further, Hawke chose not to elaborate on what he meant, leaving it to viewers to read between the lines.

He then moved on to the next question, which was also another food-related question.

The chat with the publications comes just days after the actor took on the ultimate fatherhood role of walking his 27-year-old daughter, Maya, down the aisle for her marriage to Christian Lee Hutson.
The Hollywood veteran shares the “Stranger Things” actress with his ex-wife, “Kill Bill” star Uma Thurman. The duo also welcomed a son, Levon, now 23, during their seven-year marriage.
For the star-studded ceremony at St. George’s Episcopal Church in New York on Valentine’s Day, Hawke arrived in a black suit, looking every bit the proud father, per Page Six.
He was also seen holding a bouquet of flowers, presumably on behalf of his daughter.
Meanwhile, Maya’s mother, Thurman, was also in attendance, looking elegant in a light blue floral ensemble paired with matching heels.

In November last year, Hawke reflected on his split from Thurman, which reports at the time suggested was due to infidelity.
He said that being celebrities made the breakup more complicated, but what made it truly difficult were the “family elements” involved.
“The public eye is like gasoline, but what makes divorce hard is the stuff that makes it hard for everyone — the family elements, how to help the kids through it,” Hawke said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times at the time.
“I’m so envious of people who have amicable splits,” the actor further remarked.

Hawke’s comment about how being a celebrity makes breaking up with someone complicated was echoed in his September interview with GQ.
At the time, the Hollywood star opened up about the media coverage surrounding his divorce from Thurman, noting that it greatly affected him, even when it was being talked about in a positive light.
“It’s almost humiliating even when they’re saying positive things,” he told the publication.

As for why Hawke has never fully detailed the circumstances of his split in interviews, it’s because of a promise he made to his children.
“I vowed to my kids so many times not to talk about the divorce in public,” he told the Los Angeles Times.
He went on to say that “staying married” is a challenge everywhere in the world, and that he feels lucky to have found a second love in his current wife, Ryan Shawhughes, with whom he shares two teenage daughters, Clementine and Indiana.
“But one thing I will say is if you get the privilege of traveling the world, you realize that everywhere men and women have a tremendous amount of difficulty staying married,” Hawke shared.

“When I split up, I was hellbent on not having any more kids, and I wanted to be single for the rest of my life. But then I made a best friend, and I liked kissing her,” he added.
