Jennifer Lopez stole the show during her recent Paris Fashion Week outing, rocking just a black bra underneath a white coat.

As usual, the look sparked chatter online, with fans of the star praising her for the head-turning fashion statement.

Jennifer Lopez’s outing came days after she made an appearance at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s highly publicized wedding at Madison Square Garden.

Lopez certainly knows how to cause a stir wherever she goes, as she recently made a show-stopping appearance in Paris for Fashion Week.

The singer had just attended what some would consider the historic wedding ceremony of pop musician Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce before jetting off to the capital of France.

Turning heads on the streets of Paris, Lopez stepped out in a bold black bra worn underneath a voluminous white ostrich-feather coat.

Despite the scorching heat wave gripping the French capital, she flawlessly pulled off the heavy textures, pairing the dramatic look with tailored black culottes.

Lopez completed her fashion statement with black open-toe pumps. She accessorized the entire outfit with oversized sunglasses and a selection of chunky jewelry.

The Singer Left Fans Stunned With Her Look Worn To Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce’s Wedding

Lopez’s Paris outing came shortly after she caused a stir on social media when she confirmed her attendance at Swift and Kelce’s star-studded wedding in New York City.

The event, which was held at Madison Square Garden, featured the who’s who of Hollywood, as the crowd included actors like Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, and Bradley Cooper, alongside music legends and icons such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, and Swift’s close pal, Selena Gomez.

Regarding Lopez’s appearance at the event, what really had fans talking was her stunning outfit. The singer rocked a black velvet gown designed by Bach Mai.

Put together by her powerhouse styling team, the custom look beautifully channeled old Hollywood elegance with a modern twist. It featured a deep-scooped neckline, a striking drop-waist silhouette, and a ballooning skirt.

Lopez didn’t skimp on the jewelry for the occasion either. The “On The Floor” singer elevated her look with floral-inspired bling, highlighted by a two-tiered diamond necklace. She completed the ensemble with a sleek black satin Carolina Herrera clutch, wearing her hair swept back into a high bun with a chic velvet headband.

Fans Gush Over Jennifer Lopez’s Old Hollywood Style

Fans swiftly took to social media to praise the star for donning a classy outfit to the wedding, with many highlighting how stunning and youthful she looked in her gown.

One individual noted, “She is so beautiful and glamorous! Thank you for showing us your gown for Taylor’s wedding.”

Another noted, “JLo serving absolute elegance in that black Bach Mai look. At 56, she’s still outshining everyone at the wedding of the year. Queen supporting queen.”

“J.Lo really said, ‘I’ll wear black so the natural diamonds can do all the talking,’” a third person commented about the singer’s jewelry.

One more person said, “Yeah, I like that dress. It’s giving 90s. She looks good.”

The Singer Made A Surprising Admission About The Men In Hollywood She Wants To Sleep With

Lopez recently stunned fans after boldly sharing the names of the Hollywood stars she would like to sleep with.

She made the steamy revelation on her “Office Romance” co-star Brett Goldstein’s “Films to Be Buried With” podcast while they discussed the 90s Quentin Tarantino movie, “True Romance.”

“There are all these seedy characters in this movie,” Lopez said. “Christian Slater, who works in this record store who has hallucinations of Elvis, played by Val Kilmer. Patricia Arquette couldn’t be better as a hooker with a heart of gold, the sweetest.”

“And then to have Dennis Hopper and his dad, Christopher Walken, in one of the greatest scenes of all time between two actors, then Brad Pitt as a stoner and James Gandolfini… Gary Oldman…” the singer noted.

Things then took a turn as she admitted, “I would have had sex with any one of them, which says a lot about the dark side of me. All of them were so f-cking good in this movie. Their performances were so top-notch and so dynamic in these scenes.”

Jennifer Lopez Gives Fans A Rare Peek Into Her Home Life With Kids’ Graduation Photos

Away from the glitz and glam of Hollywood, Lopez took to her Instagram page to share photos from her children’s high school graduation.

In an image from her photo dump, she is seen tightly embracing her son Max, closing her eyes as she tenderly rested her hand on his cheek.

Another photo featured her other twin child, Emme (also known as Oskar), sitting proudly in front of a celebratory sign that reads, “Class of 2026.”

Proving that graduation style runs in the family, another slide shows a close-up of one of her kids’ custom graduation cap, which featured the cheeky phrase, “Not my first rodeo.”

Lopez beautifully captioned the emotional post: “They say I got lucky… and I don’t disagree… Just this feeling.”

Science fiction may have a reputation for being cold and analytical, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Some of the best sci-fi TV of all time happened on shows that were raunchy, over the top, and downright scandalous.  To prove it, we’ve put together a list of sci-fi TV shows ranked, not by how good they are, but by how spicey they got. 

Consider yourself warned because by the time we get to the top entries on this list, things are going to get steamy. These are the sexiest sci-fi TV shows of all time. 

16. Dollhouse 

Before streaming turned every sci-fi show into gray sludge, there was Dollhouse, a series built around one of the wildest concepts network television ever approved. 

Created by Joss Whedon and starring Eliza Dushku, the 2009 Fox series followed human “Actives” who could have their personalities wiped and replaced on demand, turning them into perfect custom-made companions, spies, assassins, or lovers depending on what rich clients wanted that week. 

The show dressed its existential horror in glossy lighting, expensive clothes, and an almost constant undercurrent of sexual tension. 

Dushku spends most of the series playing different fantasy archetypes from episode to episode, which gave Dollhouse a weird energy somewhere between hard sci-fi and late-night cable thriller. Few sci-fi shows have ever been this slick, strange, or openly seductive.

15. Firefly

Chances are you don’t remember, but the early marketing for Firefly made sure to mention that the crew included a prostitute. 

Morena Baccarin’s Inara is actually a companion, and she made sure to explain the difference between the two in “Heart of Gold”, one of two episodes that never aired on Fox. It also happens to be the the episode with the montage of Captain Malcolm Reynolds and the brothel madam having sex set to the Pure Moods soundtrack. Firefly also includes one of the healthiest marriages in sci-fi, between Zoe and Wash, giving hope to nerdy, Hawaiian-shirt wearing guys everywhere, and in a twist, the horniest member of the crew is Kailee, though it has been a while since she’s had anything twixt her nethers. 

When Mad Men debuted and Christina Hendricks blew up, Firefly fans had to explain they’ve known for years she was, and is, one of the hottest women in Hollywood. Both of her appearances as stand out, and while she has plenty of chemistry with Nathan Fillion’s Captain Malcolm Reynolds, let’s be honest, she’s so good, she’d develop chemistry with a ham sandwich. 

For a show with zero nudity, Firefly is one of the sexiest sci-fi shows to ever hit network television. 

14. Battlestar Galactica

It’s hard to look good when humanity is on the brink of extinction. Battlestar Galactica starts with the survivors of the colonies on the run from the cybernetic Cylons, and it never gets much better for them. The show still managed to give sci-fi fans not one, but multiple sex symbols of the 2000s in Katee Sackhoff, Grace Park, Jamie Bamber, and reminded the world that Edward James Olmos has one of the greatest voices in Hollywood. 

Then there was Number Six. Played by Tricia Helfer in the red dress that launched an entire marketing campaign, Six used sex to doom humanity. Her seduction of Baltar set in motion the entire series and even after they destroyed the colonies, she kept toying with him. Over and over and over. Poor Balter. His lobster was too buttery and his steak was too juicy. 

 It takes a lot to overshadow Lucy Lawless, but Tricia Helfer pulled it off, with a performance that inspired both lust (look at her) and revulsion (listen to her). Six was a beautiful Trojan Horse, and the only thing that could possible improve her character would be if, and hear me out, the Cylons actually had a plan. 

13. Farscape

Variety is the spice of life, and when it comes to the cast of Farscape, it seems everyone is a contender for the title of hottest on the show. Ben Browder never looked better as John, Claudia Black as Aeryn Sun launched a thousand fan fictions, Chiana’s there for the furries, Zhaan proves bald is beautiful, Ka D’Argo is for everyone who thought The Beast looked better before the curse was lifted, someone has to like Starke, Jool’s got the red hair, the villainous Scorpius wears a gimp suit in every scene, and you know, even the ship, Moya, has some fans out there. 

Farscape may have been centered on Crichton thanks to the wormhole knowledge locked inside his head, but it’s the colorful cast that made it a success. Unlike more mainstream sci-fi shows, Farscape wasn’t afraid of a little physical affection. Or a lot. Come to think of it, there’s a lot of attractive aliens getting it on. 

Forget your zodiac sign, which Farscape character was your crush? 

12. The 100 

The 100 was The CW’s flagship sci-fi series for seven seasons filled with humanity trying to rebuild after a nuclear apocalypse by sending 100 teens and young adults back down to a broken Earth. Whoever decided this was a great idea never saw Lord of the Flies, or bothered to think what would happen if the group was co-ed. Saving humanity often takes a backseat to love triangles and hookups. 

Since it’s on The CW, there’s a lot of kissing, shirtless guys, and strategically ripped clothing designed not to trip any network censors. It was also a huge hit. For The CW, which measured success in terms of social media and streaming, not the old, antiquated ratings system. The 100 was never going to be a show for the old sci-fi fans raised on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Stargate. And that’s okay. 

The 100 was aimed directly at teens, giving them a sci-fi show of their very own, complete with disappointing later seasons, nonsensical plot twists, one of the worst character deaths in television history, and a contender for the worst series ending since How I Met Your Mother. 

11. Dark Angel

Jessica Alba is known today as a co-founder of The Honest Company, the first big screen Sue Storm, and as Honey from the single greatest dance movie of the 2000’s. But to sci-fi fans, she’ll always be known as Max, the genetically enhanced supersoldier at the center of James Cameron’s series, Dark Angel. In a perfect world, Max would be remembered alongside her contemporaries, Buffy and Xena, but alas, we only had two seasons of Dark Angel before Fox pulled the plug. 

Set in a dystopian….gothic….cyber-punkish Seattle, Dark Angel had a weird mix of tones and vibes. There’s the whole “child soldier” aspect that’s played seriously, and then the cat DNA spliced into Max’s cells acts up in one episode and sends her into heat. She has to do battle against brainwashed child superhumans, and then defeats them by lifting her top as a distraction. 

James Cameron created some of sci-fi’s greatest heroines, including Ellen Ripley, Sarah Conner, and if you give Dark Angel  a chance, you’ll see that Max Guevera had the potential to be right there with the rest of them. 

Not only was Jessica Alba stunning in every frame of Dark Angel, but the show also included a pre-NCIS Michael Weatherly and some guy named Jensen Ackles as Max’s male counterpart. Wonder if he ever went on to do anything. 

10. Weird Science

For nerds of a certain age, their first crush is all the same: Kelly LeBrock from 1985’s Weird Science.

A decade later, and five seasons of Weird Science the series aired on USA, replacing LeBrock with Vanessa Angel. Replacing LeBrock was always going to be difficult, but using Stargate SG-1’s Anise and the future runner-up to the role of Star Trek Voyager’s Seven-Of-Nine was the best choice possible. 

Vanessa Angel’s Lisa is the same wish-granting computer program. No matter how often a wish goes wrong over the show’s five seasons, teen slackers Gary and Wyatt keep using Lisa to try and get ahead without doing any work. It’s a simple premise that managed to stay on the air thanks primarily to Lisa’s outfits. Keep in mind this was 1995 and what was considered hot for a living computer program would end up becoming every episode outfits on The CW’s Riverdale. 

Back then, Vanessa Angel was one of the hottest women on television, and Weird Science was the USA’s network’s second sexiest show. First? Silk Stalkings. If you had to ask, you never watched Monday Night RAW.

9. Altered Carbon

There’s not enough cyberpunk shows out there. Netflix’s Altered Carbon is still one of the best, showing a decadent, depraved city where the rich can constantly be reborn through the act of sleeving, or transferring their consciousness to another body, while the poor get one shot at life. 

Morals and decency have gone out the window, resulting in a dirty, corrupt, neon-tinged city filled with casual nudity. Joel Kinneman, DC’s Rick Flag, is hired to solve a murder, but he has to navigate the seedy criminal underworld to do so. Season 1 of Altered Carbon is one of the best looking sci-fi shows of all time. It’s the live-action cyberpunk neo-noir mystery readers have wanted to experience for decades. 

Then Season 2 happens. Anthony Mackie taking over as the lead was….fine….but the writing, the production, the general cyberpunk feel of it all, took a massive step back as the budget was slashed. If Season 2 was as grim and gritty as Season 1, Altered Carbon would be higher on the list. Season 1 is sexy, Season 2 has Neal McDonough. If you know, you know. 

8. Westworld 

The only limit is your imagination. That’s one of the main selling points of Westworld to its high-end visitors. 

The ability to be dropped into a wild west experience where you can do anything you want leads, naturally, to lots of raunchy activities. Most of it is with robots, but as the guide says to William early on when asked if she’s real, “if you can’t tell, does it matter?” 

The answer of course, is no. It doesn’t matter. William acts as the audience surrogate to Westworld. His initial horror and rejection of the lewd and lascivious park life gives way as his ethically and moral barriers crumble. Is it really any different than the obvious use of holodeck technology? 

Westworld would be higher on the list except, like with Game of Thrones, its front-loaded. Season 1 shows the park in action before everything goes to hell. That means a lot of random skin and a lot of intimacy. By the time Season 3 comes around, the focus is on the changing shape of the world, though with the cast still including Evan Rachel Wood, Luke Hemsworth, and Thandie Newton, the characters are ridiculously good-looking. Westworld – Come for the Hedonism, stay for the Humanism. 

7. Brave New World

Brave New World is science fiction’s lustiest dystopia. In a, ahem, brave new world where everyone is genetically engineered and monogamy is considered to be savage, sex is considered a community event. That means “group parties”. Lots of them. But when that becomes the norm, and having a good old fashioned romance is taboo, it turns the whole notion of love and relationships on its head. 

Intimacy in this dystopia is not for procreation, it’s entire purpose is to feel pleasure. And yet, it lacks real intimacy. The citizens of New London have the time and freedom to indulge in whatever whim suits their fancy, within the strict rules of the caste system of course. It’s a sexy take on a dystopian future, but it’s also one of the oldest. The original novel was published in 1932.

Brave New World aired for a single season on Peacock in 2020 which means you likely missed it. It stars Alden Ehrenreich, making this the closest you’ll get to watching Han Solo get wild. 

6. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

There could be an entire separate list for sexy sci-fi anime. Freed from the constraints of network television and American attitudes towards animation, anime can get as freaky as you can imagine. 

One of the best of the decade, is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, set in the same world as the hit video game, Cyberpunk 2077, which includes a genital slider in character creation, so you had to have known anything in this world wouldn’t be afraid to let its freak flag fly. 

The series follows David Martinez, a student sucked into the underground world of Night City, because of what else, a woman. Lucy, the smart, capable netrunner, acts as David’s guide, alongside a gang of edgerunners, cybernetically-enhanced mercenaries on the wrong side of the law. There’s bloody shootouts, violent deaths, and lots of ice baths. That’s the best way for a netrunner to perform a deep dive into the network which means every single episode contains nudity. 

It’s not excessive, but it is consistent, and frankly, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a better story than the video game. Best of all, Netflix announced a second season. There’s no release date yet, but if it’s half as good as the first season, it’ll be one of Netflix’s best shows of the year. 

5. The X-Files

It’s the show that changed sci-fi, and television, forever. The X-Files brought together long-term storytelling, mysterious conspiracies, and monster-of-the-week episodes in one genre-defining package. It also introduced the world to Agent Dana Scully, and more importantly, Gillian Anderson. Can you believe that at the time, Fox wanted to cast someone with more sex appeal than Gillian Anderson? Is that even possible? Even today, at almost 60 year sold, she looks incredible. 

The X-Files is, by itself, not a very sexy series, but Gillian Anderson managed to shatter the mold by taking a smart, intelligent, capable character in Dana Scully and showing Hollywood that yes, this is sexy.  Wearing suits and FBI jackets, Gillian Anderson became the sex symbol of the 90s. She was on magazine covers, college dorm posters, and was one of the most downloaded women on AOL for years.  

It’s impossible to imagine anyone else playing Dana Scully. Gillian Anderson was the perfect star at the perfect time. 

4. Sense8

After redefining science fiction movies with The Matrix, The Wachowskis have made it their mission to produce strange, philosophical stories. Cloud Atlas bent time and space to show how everything is connected, but three years later, they teamed up with Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski and unleashed Sense8 on an unsuspecting Netflix audience. 

The series follows eight humans who can share their thoughts, feelings, skills, and language with each other across time and space. It gets very metaphorical, very fast, and the Waschowskis made sure to include countless shirtless scenes and multiple uh… hedonistic gatherings? to show how connected the eight sensates were becoming, figuratively, by showing it, physically. 

Considering the Wachowskis also made Bound, decked everyone out in leather for The Matrix, and gave us the Zion rave scene in the sequel, we should have known they had this type of story in them. Sense8 is all about the human experience, the ups and downs, the longing for connection, and it doesn’t shy away from including physical intimacy. A lot of it. 15 separate scenes spread out over 2 seasons. And 3 uh… group encounters. 

3. Outlander 

Starz knew what it was doing. The network gave the world Banshee, Spartacus, American Gods, and even one of the most successful shows in history: Outlander. When it debuted in 2014, the time-travel historical fantasy became the most popular show on the planet. And all it had to do was subvert the Hollywood playbook and give in to the female gaze. 

Outlander adapts the series of hit romance novels by Diana Gabaldon, brought to life by Ronald D. Moore, yup, the man who reinvented Battlestar Galactica and redefined modern sci-fi also created Outlander. 

The series kicks off when Claire, a nurse in 1945, goes through a mystical circle to 1743, and falls in love with a Highlander…not THE Highlander…an actual highlander, Jamie Fraser. Throwing out all the rules for time travel from Back to the Future, Claire and Jamie have a family together while also battling the British Empire, taking part in the American Revolution, and altering history in the process. 

They also have a lot of sex. Don’t be fooled, there’s a reason romance books are always the highest-selling. The things that authors describe in those pages will blow your mind. Outlander is still the rare case of a time-traveling historical romance novel making the leap to a successful series. 

2. True Blood 

The technological breakthrough of artificial human blood allows the vampires of the world of True Blood to come out of the shadows and integrate with human society, with, well, mixed results. 

What can’t be argued is the blockbuster success of the series that helped launch HBO to a new level of success, showed more blood, guts, and skin than any series before it, and I can’t help but think what goes on in the basement of Fangtasia launched the current explosion of dark romance novels on bookshelves everywhere. 

Fans got to see a LOT of Anna Paquin’s Sookie Stackhouse and the rest of the women on the cast, but it was the Viking Vampire Eric Northman and Werewolf Alcide, played by two guys you may have heard of: Alexander Skarsgard and Joe Maniganello, whose careers caught fire. True Blood had something for everyone.

Even fans of vampires in tactical military hardware blowing up a witch’s coven with a rocket launcher. It took no time at all for True Blood to go full crazy, and you know what, we need more shows unafraid to be sexy and campy. 

1. Lexx

Farscape’s weirder, hornier cousin, Lexx is a one-of-a-kind viewing experience. It’s the sexiest sci-fi show of all time, almost by default. No series has been as blatantly hedonistic as Lexx. 

De facto captain Stanley orders the Lexx, the most powerful weapon in existence, to fly to a planet with loose women, and he’s willing to sell out existence for a chance to be with one. Zev and later, Xev, are obsessed with hookups and willing to sleep with any man (well, almost any, sorry, Stanley) thanks to a botched brainwashing procedure that was never completed. 

The Lexx itself is, well, interesting. Like Farscape’s Moya, it’s a bio-organic ship, unlike the Moya, it’s a lot….squishier. The shower controls require pulling and tugging on nodules that look like….well…..it’s uhhh…phallic. Lexx looks and sounds like a Skinemax parody of itself. 

You can’t go a single episode without at least one character getting libidinous; well, the musical episode at least gets close to being a normal episode of any other sci-fi series. And when it’s the musical episode that’s the most normal, that says something. Lexx is a lusty fever dream of a sci-fi show that we’ll never see again. 

What other show can you say includes a robotic loveslave as a main character and a spaceship that eats Holland?

AI is everywhere. You can’t escape it. MLB is using it for baseball games, Marvel used it for the Secret Invasion opening credits, and there’s a never ending stream of AI videos hitting social media. Now there’s Tilly Norwood, a creation of the AI studio Particle 6 and the first officially recognized fully AI “actress”. The first film in the planned “Tillyverse” is in the works, Misaligned, and nothing will ever be the same again. 

Welcome To The Tillyverse

Taking a page from Barbie, Misaligned is described as a coming-of-age comedy set within the digital Tillyverse where Tilly faces an existential crisis through the influence of a rogue AI. That influence makes her become more human as she develops emotions, begins to think for herself, and breaks free of the guardrails that have defined her existence. 

There’s two takeaways from that brief description, the first is that we all saw Barbie and that sounds suspiciously like Margot Robbie’s billion dollar blockbuster. Secondly, of course the first full AI movie will be about how AI wants to become human and is no threat at all. We’ve seen Terminator 2 and Ex Machina. Not today clanker. 

The reality is that no matter your stance on AI, until it’s either regulated or cost-prohibitive, we’re going to see more and more companies heading in this direction. Misaligned still requires humans working on storyboards, direction, and design, but it’s significantly less than a live-action coming-of-age film would require. How much longer, realistically, will it be before someone can log into a AI model, crank out a few prompts, and get back a proper sequel to Pacific Rim?

Good Or Bad, AI Is Here

No matter how good or bad Misaligned ends up being once its released the discourse will be suffocating. Pro-AI and Ant-AI factions on social media will attempt to out shout the other. AI is inevitable but it should be regulated, controlled, and thankfully in the case of Particle 6’s work, they are making it very clear that it is AI. There’s no attempts to pass it off as reality. That’s where it gets dangerous.

Misaligned currently has no release date and there is, so far, no prominent Hollywood names attached to the film. It’s unclear if any real actors will consent to appearing in the AI film but in an age with Grand Moff Tarkin making appearances and Tupac popping up in a new Sega game, anything can happen. This is only the first film in the Tillyverse and you know there will be more to come. 

How Hollywood reacts to Misaligned will be interesting to watch. Executives like AI because it keeps costs down, while creatives say its taking their jobs, which it is. The SGA and WGA have attempted to fight back against the growing tide of AI with little to no impact. AI is inevitable, but is creating an entirely fictional person using AI the way to go? Or is it meant to be a tool for current creatives to finetune and develop their ideas? Right now, no one knows, but we’ll need an answer.

Your mileage may vary, but for me (someone who definitely feels the need for speed), the most patriotic movie ever made is the original Top Gun. It has all the staples of all great ‘80s films, including over-the-top action, Cold War fearmongering, and 10 pounds of macho squeezed into a five-pound bag. On top of that, though, this movie had a very patriotic message: that the only thing standing between America and a Communist takeover was lantern-jawed men who specialized in drunk, womanizing flirting when they weren’t blowing enemy jets out of the sky.

Even the most positive critics of the movie noted that it was basically a big recruitment ad for the Navy. In fact, Top Gun did cause a spike in enlistment, and leading man Tom Cruise became the de facto face of America’s military might in the ‘80s. However, that ended up being a double-edged sword a few years later, and not the kind used in The Last Samurai. When details of the infamous 1991 Tailhook scandal went public, military investigators basically threw Cruise under the bus, claiming that his hit action movie had created a party culture in the Navy that ended up ruining the lives of 90 victims!

Boys Behaving Badly: The Movie

As a movie, Top Gun doesn’t need much of an introduction. This is the classic film where Tom Cruise plays a gifted young pilot, Maverick, whose skills land him at Top Gun, the famous Naval Fighter Weapons School. There, his fiery temper and reckless piloting make the other pilots wary. One person who isn’t weary is Maverick’s sexy civilian instructor. They hook up, but that’s not enough to ease the pain of losing his buddy during a training exercise gone wrong. Fortunately, he’s able to pull it together for a climactic final fight against Russian jets who are on the verge of making the Cold War very, very hot.

One of the reasons Top Gun is so beloved is because of Tom Cruise’s Maverick character. Cruise brings plenty of magnetic charisma to the role, and the hotshot pilot has several crowdpleasing moments, including wooing a woman by getting an entire bar of drunken soldiers to help sing “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” by the Righteous Brothers. However, in 1991, the public learned about a major incident at the Tailhook Association Symposium in Las Vegas. There, a group of drunken naval soldiers assaulted 83 women and seven men. When the smoke cleared, military investigators decided that Cruise and Top Gun were to blame!

Facing The Gauntlet

The details of the incident (which the media dubbed the “Tailhook Scandal”) are pretty grim. This occurred at a symposium in Las Vegas, which was attended by one-third of America’s naval aviators, all of whom were eager to celebrate the recent victory in the Gulf War. While the conference had charms like pretty speeches from former POWs, what aviators really looked forward to was hanging out on the third floor of the Hilton hotel hosting the symposium. In the hospitality suites, soldiers held raucous parties fueled by freeze booze, and naked people were a common sight. Some were hired strippers, and some were just inebriated aviators.

Female Hilton workers avoided this third floor, which took on a grim nickname: “The Gauntlet.” Unfortunately, some hotel guests didn’t get the memo and wandered in. They, along with several female soldiers and military spouses, ended up getting groped and otherwise intimately assaulted. One soldier (Paul Coughlin) had her clothes ripped off, and she feared worse would happen, but she successfully escaped. Despite being ignored by her superior officer, she successfully blew the whistle on the Tailhook Scandal. Later, she resigned from the Navy, claiming she was constantly harassed for shedding light on this terrible incident. She ended up suing and ultimately won $5 million from the Las Vegas Hilton. 

A Hit Movie Becomes An International Scandal

So, where does Top Gun come in? Tailhook became an international scandal, but the Navy didn’t want to hang any of the offenders out to dry. Some faced internal punishments (like reprimands and, at worst, demotions) and lesser charges (like indecent exposure), but nobody faced any charges of assault. The public wanted someone to blame, and the government gave them one…sort of. As written on Military.com, some officials blamed a “Top Gun mentality” because “The movie fueled misconceptions on the part of junior officers as to what was expected of them and also served to increase the general awareness of naval aviation and glorify naval pilots in the eyes of many young women.”

While he wasn’t explicitly named, it’s clear the Navy was blaming Tom Cruise, claiming that his hard-partying character was a bad influence on an entire branch of the military. At least, that was the attitude back in the early ‘90s. Decades later, the military decided to stop blaming the acclaimed actor and instead reward him for service to his country. In 2024, Cruise received the Distinguished Public Service Award, the highest civilian honor the Navy can give to private citizens.  He was specifically rewarded for “outstanding contributions” to the military through film, effectively expressing gratitude for making the Navy look so cool in the Top Gun films.

From getting publicly shamed to receiving the highest possible honor from the Navy? That’s a 180 that will definitely (ahem) take your breath away!

So, Lulu chases down Charlotte and drags her away, ranting that they are not finished talking.

Britt is begging Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) on Monday and freaking out at somebody while she’s still in jail, yelling at them to get away from her. We also have Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) devastated. She finds out Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) was never back from the dead and it was his twin, Cassius, all along. So, I think it’s going to feel like a double loss for her and Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati).

But I actually think Cassius is alive. Josslyn is surprised, so Vaughn may stop by to see her before he leaves town. And we have Josslyn asking somebody for a favor. So it may be Vaughn.

General Hospital: Revelations and Deceptions – July 7th Through 10th

Tuesday, July 7th, Danny reveals a hidden truth. So, it looks like this is when he blabs to somebody that Rocco shot Cullum. And we’ve got Carly in an absolute rage. She’s ticked about Britt being back and that Josslyn is still in the WSB. So, lots of things for her to be mad about.

There’s also a showdown between Willow and Tracy on Tuesday and it looks like they are in Willow’s office and she may wonder if Tracy is the one who’s framing her. Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) has some doubts. He may be rethinking the plot to get Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow to cheat or rethinking sitting still while Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) sets Willow up for what she really did.

Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) and Emma Scorpio Drake (Brayden Bruner) enjoy some alone time, talk about the future, and get ready to welcome Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) home.

General Hospital Spoilers: Sonny Worried about Carly

Then, on Wednesday, July 8th, Sonny warns Carly to be careful. This may be about Valentin because he’s back soon. Somebody needs Ric Lansing’s (Rick Hearst) legal expertise and it could be Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) or maybe Willow. And Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) makes a difficult decision. She may bail out on the book tour if Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) can’t go along with her.

Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) and Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr) bump into each other, but things are going to be awkward. And Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) confides in Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). He may worry that Sidwell is going to beat the charges and get free. And he’s going to be looking to rely on both Ava and Liz.

Thursday, July 9th. Speaking of her, Elizabeth is suspicious. And looks like this has to do with Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) and Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) both having strokes at the same house. She hasn’t let that go yet. And Willow suffers a setback. With Sidwell arrested, there’s no more paralytics. So, Drew is going to be able to move soon. That and the nonsense frame job. It’s just a lot for Willow to deal with, but honestly, she deserves that and more.

General Hospital Spoilers: Brook Lynn Called Out

Brook Lynn is put on blast after Tracy’s confrontation with Willow. She might realize something about what’s going on. It may dawn on Tracy that Brook Lynn is setting Willow up and working with Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) to do it. So, Tracy may call Brook Lynn out on it. And Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) confesses or she may be talking to Curtis about his legal options at trial. He’s facing criminal and civil charges.

Friday, July 10th, Britt reveals really big news, or rather it’s revealed to her. And we know Lucas is going to give Britt life-changing news this summer that she never had Huntington’s. So, I wonder if Josslyn was conscious enough to overhear Cullum when he was villain monologuing to Cassius about it and how they tricked Britt to force her to work for them by saying that she had Huntington’s. So, Josslyn may tell Lucas.

Ava has questions for Ethan. This may be about him confessing he’s not really Phoebe’s dad and two former lovers reunite. I suspect this is going to be Valentin and Anna. He may return Friday, seeing as Jason is returning on the next episode on Monday the 13th.

General Hospital Spoilers: Anna and Valentin Reconnect

Anna and Valentin reconnect soon, but she’s infected with Peter August’s (Wes Ramsey) delusion in her brain, so it’s going to be messy. Anna’s back with deadly intention. She is in her apartment this week, and Peter’s right there talking in her ear about everybody. Also this week, Danny and Charlotte run into each other at the Metro Court pool and things may get tense because of him and Rocco.

Also, Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) and Sonny make time for romance after the whole life and death Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) crisis. And Lulu wants answers now. She may be grilling Carly about hiding Valentin, lying to her face for months, and going behind her back so Charlotte could visit her fugitive daddy.

Something horrifies Chase on Friday on General Hospital. This may be about Willow being accused of being the other driver. We also have Brook Lynn and Chase coming to a new understanding and this may be about Willow.

General Hospital: Jason’s Return and New Beginnings – July 13th Through 17th

The week of July 13th through the 17th, we have Jason Morgan back. His first air date is the 13th. We’ll see if he’s in Port Charles that day or if we’re going to see more WSB stuff in Indonesia.

But he has decided to change how he lives his life after his time in captivity. And when Steve Burton returns, we’re going to see Jason’s whole character take a turn, and his decision about his life is going to impact Danny, Britt, the Quartermaines, Anna, and especially Sonny.

Also on Monday the 13th, a new doctor makes his debut. And if you didn’t know, Monday is also the milestone 16,000th episode of General Hospital. We have Britt grappling with the fact she doesn’t have Huntington’s and never did.

Anna’s going to be struggling with her Peter problem and he is making Anna doubt everybody around her. Carly still wants revenge on Jack for recruiting Josslyn into the WSB, but looks like her daughter doesn’t want to leave the spy organization.

And Valentin’s back in Carly’s arms soon. But Sonny doesn’t like Carly being with Valentin and he’s going to get Brick (Stephen A. Smith) on board to help split them up.

General Hospital Spoilers: Lulu Distraught over Both Her Kids

Lulu deals with more attitude from Charlotte and also Rocco. And then Charlotte is going to insist on moving out in coming days. Britt should be out of jail soon and will make her way back over to General Hospital. Looks like she might actually get her job back.

Nina and Jack are looking for the evidence they need against Drew. And if you remember, Cullum took Jack’s black box because Z was trying to find it and couldn’t. So the question is, where did Cullum put it? And will they get that evidence against Drew? Because his recovery begins soon.

Ava and Ethan begin to explore some feelings. Brook Lynn’s plot against Willow is going to blow up in her face in coming weeks. Tracy versus Lucy. They are battling soon over Deception and possibly more.

Gio tries to smooth things over with his brother Rocco. And Cody steps up for James West (Gary James Fuller) and it’s going to have a big impact on his relationship with Molly.

That’s your General Hospital spoilers for July 6-17.

Bold and the Beautiful 2-Week Spoilers for July 6 – 17, 2026 stun with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) exploding when there’s another assault on R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) plus Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is infuriated not only by the recent betrayal by Logan and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), but also because of Finn’s Finnegan‘s (Tanner Novlan) biological connection.

We are going to get into the latest spoilers for July 6th through the 17th, including an update on what caused Hope’s collapse, Electra’s Forrester‘s (Laneya Grace) ultimatum, and Katie Logan‘s (Heather Tom) worried about her son. All that and lots more.

Bold and the Beautiful: Will’s Aggression and Electra’s Choice

On Monday, July 6th, we’ve got Electra continuing her nonsense from Friday. She is barking at Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) about the Logan scandal and Electra accuses Will of helping create this scandal and asks how could he do this? And then Electra tells Will that she is leaving and he tries to talk Electra into staying. But then R.J. shows up telling Will to just let Electra go being a bossy little nepo baby. So, it looks like Will punches R.J. again. And then Electra is going to take R.J. to the hospital because it looks like it’s a pretty hard pop this time.

Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is shocked by what he finds. So, Hope has collapsed in the showroom after Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) was raging at Brooke then walked out. So, maybe Hope had a panic attack, but I’ve got fingers crossed that she is pregnant. I think that would be great. And Steffy’s looking pretty ticked off at the office on Monday. So, we’ll see if Brooke reports back after the tantrum she threw at Logan and the thing she actually threw at Logan when she was breaking stuff.

Bold and the Beautiful: Ridge’s Crusade and Sheila’s Request

Tuesday, July 7th, Katie’s over at Will’s beach house. And I think Katie might be consoling Will over his drama with Electra, who did walk out on him with R.J. Will’s going to be upset that Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) expected him to keep things secret from Electra, but Katie may explain that Electra was wrong to demand that he spill trade secrets.

Ridge finds R.J. on the couch at the Logan estate with Electra holding an ice pack on his head. Ridge wants to know if his head is still throbbing. R.J. says it’ll be all right. And Ridge says nothing about this is all right. Electra says she’s glad it wasn’t more serious. Ridge says it could have been and he’s griping about that R.J. could have had a concussion or something worse. Electra says she took R.J. to the hospital the night before and Finn said he’s okay. And then Ridge wants to know, “How did we get here?” And R.J. says, “Will got upset.” And Ridge says Will answers questions with his fist.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Both Sides at Boiling Point

Maybe Ridge should ask why R.J. showed up and just walked in to Will’s house. You know, so Electra suggests that maybe Ridge should talk to Will, but R.J. says he doesn’t need his dad fighting his battles for him. Ha. And Ridge says they have to do something before this gets worse. Also, he gives Electra an ultimatum.

And Ridge might tell Electra that she can’t date Will and still work at Forrester Creations because we know how they tend to cross lines and get into people’s personal lives there. Also, Finn is there to support Steffy. She is upset about Hope’s betrayal and will also be angry when she hears that Will hit R.J. again. I’m sure Steffy is going to vent to Finn about her stepsister and of course he will side with Steffy as he should.

But we all saw her making Hope’s life at Forrester Creations difficult. But then in Steffy’s defense, Hope pursued Finn. She kissed him. Then she pulled a coup with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) after Steffy fired her over the Finn thing. Plus, Hope just tried to get Brooke to steal Steffy’s job as co-CEO. So, lots of justifiable anger on both sides.

Bold and the Beautiful: Divorce and Monaco Drama

Wednesday, July 8th, Ridge is trying to change Electra’s feelings about Will. So, Ridge might try to convince her that Will’s a deceitful hothead just like his dad, Bill. And now that Will has assaulted R.J. twice, Ridge might tell Electra, “Decide where your loyalties lie.” We also have on Wednesday Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) being very clear about what she wants.

She’s going to show up back at Deacon Sharpe’s (Sean Kanan) place and we’re going to see Sheila asking Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) if she spoke to Steffy about allowing her into the family. And Taylor tells Sheila she knows that request is impossible. But it looks like Taylor takes the request to Steffy after Sheila throws Deacon a bone.

Thursday, July 9th, the next day, after this whole scene at his apartment, it’s official. Sheila and Deacon’s marriage is over. So, I’m thinking Sheila is going to sign the divorce papers as long as Taylor promises to genuinely advocate for her with Steffy. And I think Taylor will at least give it a bit of a try. Finn is taken aback by a surprise visitor. And this may be Sheila showing up to the hospital to see Finn. Hopefully she won’t drop by the Malibu house stalking him, but you never know with her.

Taylor goes up to Forrester Creations to the CEO office to talk to Steffy about Sheila’s request. That’s not going to go well. Steffy doesn’t want Sheila back in their lives. You know, she did try to kill Steffy and Finn both. And Sheila’s lies helped her crazy granddaughter Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) run free twice before she finally died. So why should Steffy relent?

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ridge Faces Off with Bill

Then on Friday, July 10th, Ridge is going to trot over to the Logan and Spencer offices to confront Bill. I’m betting it’s about the Hope betrayal, about how upset Brooke is, and more importantly about Bill’s son Will assaulting R.J. for a second time over Electra. So, Bill is really smug and tells Ridge that there is new royalty in LA fashion.

And I’m sure he’s going to tell Bill that he’s scum and that Will is just like him. And if Ridge is griping about Will hitting R.J., I’m betting that Bill laughs it off and says, “That’s my boy.” So, he’s pushing back on Ridge, and we’re going to see Bill putting his finger in Ridge’s face. We’ll see if those two don’t come to blows on Bold and the Beautiful.

Also, Taylor wonders if Sheila really has turned over a new leaf or if she could turn violent again, especially if Steffy doesn’t agree to what Sheila wants. Two people have been stuck in between them and I expect this is Sheila versus Steffy again. And Finn makes a pledge to Steffy that she will always be his priority no matter what.

Bold and the Beautiful: Monaco and Love Triangles – July 13th Through 17th

The week of July 13th through the 17th, we’re going to have Ridge, Steffy, and Finn heading to Monaco soon. I don’t know the exact date, but that’s coming soon. Sheila’s going to follow them. And what happens there is life-changing. It includes a huge confrontation between Sheila and Steffy.

And it looks like Sheila somehow proves herself to Steffy while there. Maybe she saves Finn or Steffy or both. So, we should be hearing this next week, the week of July 13th, about their travel plans and why they’re going to Monaco.

Also, after all the drama between Will and Electra, looks like Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock) is back on Will’s radar as a potential love interest. Crew Morrow posted a social media photo with actress Sydney Bullock asking if fans are ready for more Will and Dylan, which isn’t surprising because I expect R.J. to be all over Electra trying to make sure she doesn’t go back to Will. And R.J.’s interest in Dylan may instantly evaporate if R.J. thinks he has a shot with Electra.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Forresters vs. Spencers

After their confrontation the prior week, Bill and Ridge are at war along with Katie and Brooke. And we’ll see how Hope handles the fallout and what is next for her and Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) over at Logan. We’ll also see what’s next for Hope after her collapse.

Fingers crossed it’s a baby and not some cheesy medical crisis. Liam and Hope settle into the Spencer mansion as Brooke continues to simmer with rage. Katie and Bill are thrilled to have them and Beth Spencer (Jordyn Lynn Ariza) there.

Carter and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) face a devastating challenge soon. I suspect it’s going to be infertility issues. We also have Taylor and Deacon really excited about their future now that he is officially divorced from Sheila and he and Taylor can move forward. They could even get engaged. That would be fun.

Brooke, Ridge, and Steffy plot on what they’re going to do about this Logan threat. Hopefully, Ridge will back off what I think are disastrous decisions to put off Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) couture launch and to shove the jewelry line. And we’ve got Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) desperate for forgiveness from both Eric and Brooke.

That’s your Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for July 6-17.

By Robert Scucci
| Published 4 seconds ago

Most stand-up fans will be the first people to tell you that comedy comes from a dark place. Just like being a musician, writer, or filmmaker, honing your craft requires a person to spend a considerable amount of time alone working on their art, which can lead to an expected level of social awkwardness or straight-up questionable behavior. It’s one of those things that comes with the territory, and you just have to be built for it.

Some people are able to assimilate better than others and live normal, healthy lives when they’re not on the road trying to get good and win over audiences across the country. Some people change for the worse, which is the subject of 2015’s Entertainment, starring Gregg Turkington as a somewhat subdued version of the Neil Hamburger character his act is built around.

If I had to compare Entertainment to any similar media, I’d point your attention to a two-episode run of Louie from the fifth season known as “The Road,” which tackles a lot of the same subjects, but without nearly as much heaviness. Don’t get me wrong, both pieces of media are total bummers, but they each have their own distinct flavor.

Despite its comedic backdrop, Entertainment is not a comedy, but rather a sad exploration of one man’s life as the road swallows him whole and he becomes a stranger to everyone he loves. It’s not afraid to show you just how lonely this kind of life can be, and Gregg Turkington deserves all the praise he gets here for leaning into the darker side of a life so many people would like to glamorize.

On The Road Again … 

Entertainment tells the bleak story of a man known only as The Comedian (Gregg Turkington). We follow him from gig to gig alongside his opening act, known only as Eddie the Opener (Tye Sheridan). Like the Louie episodes, our protagonist is suffering an existential crisis, and “depressed” is his default resting state, while his hack opener is having a great time schlepping across the country and performing his set.

When The Comedian isn’t humiliating himself on stage with his questionable brand of humor met with silence, he’s watching soap operas in whatever run-down motel he’s staying at for the night and leaving voicemails for his daughter. As time passes, it becomes heavily implied that he has an estranged relationship with her because she never once picks up the phone.

During the day, The Comedian kills time by going on tours and carrying himself like an unpleasant person nobody wants to be around. The whole thing is a total bummer, but Turkington sells it. He’s simply going through the motions, whether he still wants to or not, because it’s the only life he knows. You can tell he wants something more fulfilling, but he sells the misanthropy and malaise so well that, as a viewer, you can also tell he’s pretty much a lost cause.

Great If You Need To Be Knocked Down A Couple Pegs

If there’s one piece of advice I’d give you before sitting down with Entertainment, it’s to make sure you’re ready for it. It’s an excellent film that’s executed flawlessly, made even better by smaller roles from John C. Reilly and Tim Heidecker (who also contributed to the screenplay). But I’d be lying if I said this movie wasn’t dark as hell. If you’re not in the best headspace while watching Entertainment, it’ll probably leave you worse off, and I mean that as a compliment of the highest order.

Having spent a considerable amount of my formative years consuming all the stand-up comedy I could get my hands on, Entertainment feels like essential viewing. It shows you exactly what happens when somebody who’s known for their jokes doesn’t find anything funny anymore. It’s a slow descent into misanthropy and nihilism that has the potential to put you in a terrible mood if you’re not ready for it.

But if you’re having too good of a day and think you can handle it, Entertainment is currently streaming for free on Tubi, and it’s a total bummer in the best kind of way.

Whoopi Goldberg‘s absence from ” The View ” has her co-host wearing her comedic hat on the show.

Her absence quickly sparked curiosity after she failed to appear on the daytime talk show, with viewers soon discovering that an unexpected travel emergency had kept her thousands of miles away from the studio. 

The timing of Whoopi Goldberg’s absence also comes amid continued speculation about her future on “The View,” making it even more noticeable. 

5

Whoopi Goldberg unexpectedly missed Monday’s episode of “The View” after a volcanic eruption in Italy disrupted her travel plans, leaving the longtime moderator stranded in Sicily instead of behind the panel.

Her co-host, Joy Behar, quickly addressed the absence on-air with a joke, teasing that Goldberg was using “the old volcano excuse” while explaining that the eruption of Mount Etna had forced airport closures and prevented her from flying back to the United States.

In a video message sent to the show, Goldberg laughed off the situation, joking that “a volcano ate my homework” as she explained that the eruption had thrown her travel plans into chaos.

TMZ reported that the Emmy winner is now waiting for conditions around Mount Etna to improve before she can return to New York and resume her duties.

Retirement Isn’t On The Agenda For Goldberg And Behar

5

Retirement isn’t on the agenda for the longtime hosts of “The View.” During a recent interview, the women made it clear they have no intention of stepping away from the daytime talk show despite decades on television.

When asked whether she planned to slow down and enjoy life, Goldberg joked that retirement wasn’t realistic, quipping that if you don’t “marry well,” you have to keep working.

She later doubled down with another lighthearted remark, saying, “I’ve got to keep paying those bills, baby.” Her longtime co-host Joy Behar echoed the sentiment, insisting creative people rarely stop working because they are always looking for their next project.

That mindset has extended beyond daytime television. Behar recently brought her off-Broadway play, “My First Ex-Husband”, to audiences with a rotating celebrity cast, even welcoming Goldberg for a special guest appearance during one performance.

Whoopi Goldberg Continues To Face Pressure Over ‘The View’

5

While the hosts have no plans to leave, the program itself continues to attract intense political attention. Despite remaining the most-watched daytime talk show for five consecutive seasons, “The View” has repeatedly found itself at the center of heated public debates.

One of the latest controversies came from Behar commenting on President Donald Trump, which earned an angry response from the White House.

The comedian’s response was countered by a spokesman who questioned the ratings of the show and compared its criticism of the president to jealousy, exacerbating the public feud between the series and the comedian.

Despite the criticism, both hosts have made it clear they intend to remain on the show. It was reported they remain focused on continuing their work rather than discussing an exit. 

5

Goldberg has never shied away from voicing controversial opinions, and several of her recent remarks have reignited criticism from viewers.

One of the most discussed moments was when she equated the situation of Black Americans with those in Iran’s authoritarian government, asserting that discrimination and violence are still a fact of life in the U.S.

The comments elicited a quick and serious rebuttal from co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who refused to make that comparison and emphasized that women in Iran are subjected to far more stringent restrictions imposed by the government.

Goldberg’s comments were rebutted by others, who criticized her for downplaying Iran’s human rights violations. However, Goldberg maintained that the country’s treatment of marginalized communities in America cannot be ignored.

The exchange sparked widespread backlash online, with The Blast reporting it became another flashpoint in the criticism surrounding the longtime host. 

Whoopi Goldberg Has No Plans To Fall In Love Again

5

After three marriages, Goldberg has accepted that long-term romantic relationships are not for her. She has said the love she receives from family and close friends is enough. Goldberg has also insisted she holds no bitterness toward her former husbands.

The actress has maintained respectful relationships with each of them, explaining that remaining friendly does not require continuing the kind of emotional investment that marriage demands. Goldberg has remained friendly with her former husbands and has said her marriages lacked fun more than romance. 

Goldberg has said she has no interest in marrying again, choosing instead to focus on family, work, and the independence she enjoys. The Blast reported she believes that lifestyle suits her best. 

Young and the Restless 2-Week Spoilers for July 6 – 17, 2026 shock with Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) having his life on the line. He is going to flatline and have to be brought back and things just go downhill from there. Also, Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) is struggling to work through his deep-seated mommy issues.

We’re going to get into the latest spoilers for the two weeks starting July 6th, including action for Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) and Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor). And We’re going to have more crazy from Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). Also, more on Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver), Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn), and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). All that and more.

Young and the Restless: Jack’s Stabbing and Patty’s Deception – July 6th Through 10th

On Monday, July 6th, Diane and Kyle come home and find Jack bleeding out on the floor. Kyle calls 911 but learns that some woman already alerted them. Diane and Kyle know for sure that Patty did this. The EMTs arrive and then Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) is there.

And Kyle tells him that Patty is the one who stabbed his dad and Kyle tells Burrow that he just saved Diane and the detective knows she had been reported missing. The cops find Patty hiding upstairs behind a bed. She has slashed herself, but Patty says that it was Diane that attacked both her and Jack because he had left Diane for her.

Jack actually dies on the floor and the EMTs have to shock him back to life. Then Diane goes after Patty when the cops escort her downstairs and Kyle has to pull Diane off. Patty. Jack is loaded into the ambulance and Patty wants to ride along, but Kyle says, “No way. You’re not going near my dad.” Burrow decides that neither Diane or Patty can leave the mansion until he sorts things out.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Phyllis Agrees to a Date with Matt

Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) tells Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) that he needs to get away from Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and that Cane’s not going to respond the way that Matt’s approaching him. He asks Phyllis to go for drinks at the Shadow Room. Matt is full of questions and flattery, although he admits he can’t trust Phyllis because she betrayed him before.

Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) calls Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) with an update on Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Sienna says work is fine and says Noah can go rest. Audra shows up and Sienna snipes that Noah’s not there. They swap insults and Sienna reminds Audra that she’s the one who’s Noah’s girlfriend and Audra says that’s only for now. They keep at it until Noah shows up.

He tries to get Audra and Sienna to stop it and then he’s really annoyed when Matt and Phyllis show up and she defends Matt and says that it’s Victor who’s using him, but Noah tells them to leave Sienna alone. And then Noah circles back later and adds that Matt also needs to leave Audra alone.

Matt tells Phyllis she’s hot and he says he cares about her and she finally agrees to go on a date with Matt. Can you even imagine how Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) is going to react to this? I feel like this Matt rapist redemption is what got Josh Griffith an invitation to leave as head writer because it gives all the ick.

Young and the Restless: Medical Crisis and Reconciliation – July 7th Through 10th

Tuesday, July 7th, we have Jack’s life still at risk. He is in really bad shape. He’s already died once. He needs emergency surgery. And somehow Patty is able to get the upper hand with Diane. So, Patty might be able to convince somebody that Diane really did this dastardly thing to Jack.

But Diane was in the car with Kyle and they found Jack together. But Patty may say that Kyle is lying, giving this alibi for Diane and Patty might pull Dr. Laurence Markham (Jere Burns) into the whole thing.

We also have Victor making an unexpected move about Nikki’s post-hospital medical care. So, I do suspect that Victor is going to arrange for Nikki to be brought home to the ranch and is going to get everything set up for her there. Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) walk Nikki through the front door of the new ranch.

I’m interested to see if Nikki agreed to come there or if they didn’t tell her and she thought Nick and Victoria were taking her back to the Genoa City Athletic Club, but they’re actually bringing her home. So, I think that Nikki likely expected to be going back to the Genoa City Athletic Club since Victor tossed her out of their home and she remarked that he was letting Matt stay there but not her.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Patty Forces Jack’s Hand

Then on Wednesday, July 8th, Patty has some sort of leverage she is using to force Jack to stay quiet about something. I’m assuming Patty has some threat she can use to keep Jack from telling the cops that it was her who stabbed him. Billy doubts Jill Abbott’s (Lauren Koslow) intentions.

So, she’s going to stop by Billy and Sally Spectra’s (Courtney Hope) house to talk to him. She’s checking out the whole decor that Sally did. I don’t think she has seen Billy’s house before. But with her pushing to make things better after rejecting Billy’s calls for months, I do think his skepticism about Jill’s motives is valid.

Michael Baldwin (Christian Leblanc) is pleading with Christine Williams Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) on Wednesday, and I’m betting this is about Diane and Patty accusing her of stabbing Jack. As Patty’s ex-sister-in-law, Christine should know exactly how batcrap crazy Paul Williams’ (Doug Davidson) sister is. Hopefully, Christine will not file any charges against Diane. That would be absolutely insane.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jill’s on a Mission

On Thursday, July 9th, Jill won’t rest until she and Billy fix their relationship. We are almost at the end of the five episode run for Lauren Koslow as she’s playing Jill on Y&R. Lily experiences a different side of Cane on Thursday and we’ve got Lily and Cane chatting with Holden Novak (Nathan Owens), asking about his future plans and Holden tells Lily he really has no idea. And Cane seems ready to offer Holden a job at Chancellor. And I think Lily would absolutely love that. She and Cane are going to be doing some more kissing and cuddling soon.

Friday, July 10th, Nikki struggles to live under her new circumstances. So, it looks like she’s going to remain blind for a little while. Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) returns home from Paris to visit Jack, no doubt, because he was stabbed by Psycho Patty. We also have Victor stunning everybody with a new announcement. Hopefully, it’s him doing something good for a change and not a change for the worse, which is what we usually expect from the mustache. Also, this month, Nikki and Victor’s relationship is supposed to be tested even more, and that might be about Jack’s attack because it’s hard to think what could make things worse.

Young and the Restless: Fallout and New Directions – July 13th Through 17th

Then, the week of July 13th through the 17th, Lily is letting her guard down with Cane, and this may lead them to the bedroom. Patty continues to wreak havoc on Jack and Diane’s marriage. She is far from done. Nikki is really struggling with her new normal. Still with no eyesight, it seems. And Victor is stepping up, but it may be too little, too late, especially once Nikki finds out what Patty did to Jack. Since, of course, it’s Victor that unleashed Patty on the Abbotts again.

Phyllis and Matt get closer. Nick’s going to walk in on them in a compromising position. So, he may relapse. The stress of Nikki’s surgery and her eyesight failing and just Phyllis and Matt and all the ick may be just too much for Nick. Ashley reconnects with her family, but she’s not going to be staying in Genoa City too long. Everybody is still in shock from Victor’s announcement. I hope this all leads to him behaving better. He seemed to have a lot of regrets while Nikki was in surgery.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jack is on the Mend

Jack’s on the road to recovery, but Patty is still causing problems for Diane. We’ll see if Christine files charges because of Patty’s bogus accusations. Lily and Cane are officially a couple again soon. I expect lots more heat and romance in July sweeps for them. Audra continues to be an increasing problem for Sienna, who is very jealous about Audra.

And of course, she’s pushing Sienna’s buttons every chance she gets. And I’m wondering at what point Noah is going to be tired of being caught in the middle because he hasn’t told Audra to go away. He seems to be entertaining her. We’ll see if Billy acts more like a grown-up after this visit with Jill, played by recast Lauren Koslow, who I thought did a fantastic job, but she has wrapped her run.

So, as far as Jill is saying to Billy, she wants them to be closer as a family, and I think she wants him to be closer to Cane as well. We’ll see how it goes, but I fully expect Billy to accept the job at Chancellor, and I think Holden will, too.

That’s your Young and the Restless spoilers for July 6-17.

In 1988’s Hell Comes to Frogtown, our fertile male hero is humanity’s last hope for rebuilding the population in a world overrun by mutant frog people. There are explosive chastity belts, plenty of wasteland babes, and the whole thing is a masterclass in schlocky, low-budget, post-apocalyptic charm. That same year, a lesser-known film called She-Wolves of the Wasteland (known as Phoenix the Warrior in some markets) was released straight to video, and it has a similar setup when it comes to worldbuilding.

There are no mutant frogs in this version of the wasteland, but the reproduction problem has gotten so far out of hand that it’s the primary source of conflict. Instead of the deliberately cheesy dialogue between Roddy Piper and Sandahl Bergman, She-Wolves of the Wasteland plays things comparatively straight, though the film is still ridiculous in ways you’ll already be more than familiar with if you’re a fan of the genre.

It’s rough around the edges, but not without its charm, and there’s plenty of carnage to keep you entertained as the film barrels through the desert in search of salvation.

All Men Have Been Eliminated

In She-Wolves of the Wasteland, we’re introduced to our ballsy heroine, Phoenix (Kathleen Kinmont), as she helps a pregnant woman named Keela (Peggy McIntaggart) escape the breeding facility owned and operated by The Reverend Mother (Sheila Howard). We soon learn that The Reverend Mother operates these breeding facilities as a means of keeping the human population from becoming extinct, making her desire to kill all men so she could seize power an obvious misstep in her logic.

Phoenix and Keela, now on the run, have to navigate the wasteland without getting captured. Keela fears that if she carries a male child to term, he’ll be seized from her and disposed of, while a female child will eventually be indoctrinated by The Reverend Mother to help maintain the current status quo.

Along the way, they meet a helpful bounty hunter named Neon (Lore de Nuccio), who, like many others living under The Reverend Mother’s rule, doesn’t agree with the female-only policy that’s been implemented. The stakes get even higher when they encounter who may very well be the last documented male on Earth, and they decide it’s their life’s calling to protect the kid at all costs.

A Surprisingly Solid Effort, All Things Considered

As by-the-numbers as She-Wolves of the Wasteland may seem, it’s shockingly adequate in its delivery. On one hand, there are only so many late ’80s wasteland sagas you can watch before you realize they’re all shot in the desert for financial reasons. It’s a budget limitation, sure, but it also allows for some pretty great practical action when the moment calls for it because they’re just blowing stuff up in the middle of nowhere.

Phoenix and Keela make a great duo because the dynamic starts with a ballsy heroine taking a damsel in distress under her wing. But once they get on the same page and have time to plan their next moves while escaping the tyrannical rule of The Reverend Mother, they become a force to be reckoned with, with Keela rising to the occasion and handling the situation like a total badass.

She-Wolves of the Wasteland is one of those quick-and-dirty post-apocalyptic thrillers that checks all the boxes of a Mad Max-style romp through the end times. While it certainly wears its influences on its sleeve, it remains a fun little cult oddity that could very well exist in our cultural lexicon as the kind of side quest George Miller would be proud of.
