The final season teaser of The Summer I Turned Pretty dropped on April 24, 2025, and fans are losing it over Jenny Han’s clever use of Taylor Swift’s music. With Daylight and Red (Taylor’s Version) setting the tone, the songs aren’t just background vibes; they’re storytelling gold.

The trailer was loaded with hidden Easter eggs. The transition from Daylight to Red might foreshadow Belly’s endgame with Conrad, despite her choosing Jeremiah at the end of last season. It’s a nod to the book’s ending and the recurrent theme of “red” when Conrad appears. Is it symbolizing him as a red flag, or does it mean something more?

The Summer I Turned Pretty will return for its third and final season on July 16 via Prime Video. The 11-episode sunset season welcomes back main character Belly (Lola Tung), now in college, as she explores her relationship with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno) and tries to make sense of whatever lingering feelings she might have for his brother and her first love, Conrad (Christopher Briney). The first teaser trailer for the finale also sees the return of another familiar character in the series: Taylor Swift.

“I don’t wanna look at anything...

The first teaser trailer for Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty has arrived, and hardcore fans of the show will be happy to hear that two Taylor Swift songs are featured in the clip compared to the solo needle drops in past teasers and trailers for the first two seasons.

First, a happy and joyful montage of Lola Tung’s main character Isabel “Belly” Conklin and Gavin Casalegno’s Jeremiah Fisher doing cute couple things at Finch University like a three-legged race and messing around in the dining hall to date moments like a movie night on a pool floatie at the Cousins Beach house unfolds to “Daylight,” the last song off Swift’s Lover album.

Just as the lyrics of the song “I once believed love would be burnin’ red, but it’s golden,” play, alluding to Swift’s former discography in both song “Red” and album Red,...

Prime Video released the first “The Summer I Turned Pretty” Season 3 teaser trailer on Thursday, and while fans were anticipating a Taylor Swift needledrop in keeping with the show’s trajectory thus far, they actually got a double dose of Swift in this first look at the new season.

The Season 3 teaser, which showcases footage but no dialogue from the new season, begins with Swift’s “Daylight” from the album “Lover,” then ends with a bit of “Red (Taylor’s Version)” from the album “Red (Taylor’s Version)” just as Conrad comes back into the picture.

Based on Jenny Han’s book series of the same name, the third and final season of “The Summer I Turned Pretty” picks up at the end of junior year in college as protagonist Belly (Lola Tung) is still in a committed relationship with Jeremiah Gavin Casalengo). But when “some core-shaking events” bring Conrad...

Taylor Swift has long been a part of many controversies, with some even leading to her social isolation. She was unwillingly dragged into the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni feud because some claim that the former wanted more creative control on It Ends with Us, so she relied on Swift’s influence to have her way.

But now, the pop sensation has a problem of her own because Kanye West has once again provoked Swift, and she is ready to take the matter to court. His explosive claims even dragged Justin Bieber and Harry Styles, so pursuing a legal battle seems like the right thing to do.

Cartuna x Dweck, the new distribution venture formed by Cartuna and Dweck Productions, has acquired North American rights to Grace Glowicki’s Dead Lover following screenings at SXSW.

This is the first all-rights buy from the new company, which plans a theatrical release and aims to champion bold visions and emerging voices. The deal comes less than two weeks after Oscar-winningAnora director Sean Baker issued a clarion call urging support of independent filmmaking and the theatre-going experience.

The Voice Season 27 continued on Monday with the fifth and final batch of Blind Audition performances. After Episode 4, the teams of John Legend, Adam Levine and Michael Bublé had two open spots while Kelsea Ballerini still had three. Each of the coaches had also already deployed each of their single-use advantages, the Coach Replay and the Block. That means that going into the last day of the first round, the artists themselves would have a majority of the power to decide which coach they'd move forward with.

Over the course of the night, only one artist had the pick of the litter with all four judges turning their chairs — that was Guyanese native Jay Ammo with his performance of "The A Team." John said that he has a "lovely voice" and felt it "floating through the room" as he played. Adam agreed, in a sense, calling his voice "ethereal" and...

HGTV stars Erin and Ben Napier had fans sobbing on Monday (February 24) with a heartwarming mother-daughter video. Ben took to Instagram to share a photo of his youngest daughter, three-year-old Mae, standing in front of a canvas her mom, Erin, painted for his brother’s art and frame shop in Laurel, Mississippi. But it was the audio Ben used over the image that had fans’ hearts melting. “Sound On ,” he wrote, adding. “I am not a #Swiftie, but this one gets me. It is @erinapier’s song with Mae because one of her baby words that’s hanging on is the way she says mother. They change that one word so maybe @taylorswift won’t be angry.” The audio is of Erin and Mae singing the words to Taylor Swift’s 2019 hit song “Lover,” except, instead of singing “lover,” they change the word to “mother.” The moment is even cuter...

BAFTA winner Jack O’Connell (Sinners) has closed a deal to join the next theatrical feature in Legendary’s Monsterverse franchise, Deadline can reveal.

Character details are being kept under wraps. O’Connell joins a cast that includes Kaitlyn Dever, as well as Dan Stevens, who reprises his role as veterinarian Trapper Beasley from last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, the franchise’s highest-grossing installment to date.

Grant Sputore is set to direct from a script by Dave Callaham. Plot details have been kept vague so far, though we’re told the next entry will feature several new human characters alongside Titans Godzilla and Kong, as they face off against a cataclysmic world-ending threat. Sputore took over the directorial reins from Adam Wingard following the latter’s work on The New Empire and 2021’s Godzilla vs. Kong.

Kudumbasthan Box Office: Manikandan Delivers The 2nd Tamil Hit Of 2025! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

The Tamil film industry has finally got the second-awaited hit of the year, and it has not been a very long wait. Kudumbasthan, in 18 days, has earned a total of 20.1 crore at the box office, and the film has churned out some huge profit as well.

Budget & Recovery

The Tamil comedy-drama has been mounted on a budget of a reported 10 crore, and it has churned out 101% profit with a total collection of 20.1 crore. In fact, the film has also earned a hit verdict for itself.

Kudumbasthan has now reached a saturation point and it would not attain the super hit verdict. But it has definitely bought a laurel for Kollywood bringing the second hit film after Vishal’s Madha Gaja Raja.

The Taylor Swift-Kanye West drama has been a long-raging one despite having kickstarted more than a decade and a half ago. One of the most famous feuds in the entertainment industry of all time, their bad blood really was one of the most unexpected that started back when the latter decided to publicly humiliate her at the VMAs back in 2009.

Since then, there has been a lot of progress in this feud story, though the pair could never really settle on staying friends once and for all, with their bad blood even making its way into their tracks. But the surprising part is that, even after West didn’t really go easy on her, Swift still desperately sought his approval, as she herself confessed.

It seems that Kollywood might soon get another successful attempt at the box office with Kudumbashthan. The comedy film might have had a decent start at the box office, but it has taken a good jump on day two after positive word-of-mouth.

The comedy-drama helmed by Rajeshwar Kaliswamy is rated 8.2 on IMDb. Starring Prasanna Balachandran, Jensen Diwakar, and Kovai Gurumoorthy, the official synopsis of the film says, “After an argument at work and refusing to apologize, Naveen is fired. Boggled by family pressures and financial struggles, how Naveen manages his life forms the crux.”

On the second day, Saturday, January 25, Kudumbasthan earned 2.2 crore at the box office. This was a jump of 120% at the box office from the opening day, which earned 1 crore at the box office.

Which Role In Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava Was Anil Kapoor Offered To Play? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Chhaava has been the talk of the town in Bollywood lately. Starring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the movie will delve deep into the life of the great Maratha King. In addition to Kaushal, the film also features Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai and Ashutosh Rana as Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite. The iconic Akshaye Khanna will play Aurangzeb.

However, before Khanna was cast for the role, makers approached another legendary actor—Anil Kapoor. One of Bollywood’s most versatile actors, Kapoor has always been known for taking on diverse and impactful roles. From a lover don in Welcome to a rich father in Animal, Kapoor has repeatedly showcased his range. While Khanna looks great in the role of Aurangzeb, things could have been way different had makers gone ahead with Anil Kapoor.

Taylor Swift has collaborated with several songwriters, but some of her most iconic hits have come from working with Jack Antonoff. The Bleachers singer rose to prominence as a member of the indie pop band Fun. They had several hits before Antonoff branched out into writing music with pop artists like Swift and Sara Bareilles. Antonoff co-wrote Bareilles's 2013 hit song "Brave" and released his first song with Swift in the same year. "Sweeter Than Fiction" was a collaboration for the film One Chance and earned Swift her second Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song.

While Max Martin and Shellback heavily influenced Taylor Swift's transition to pop, Antonoff brought a fresh sound to the pop music industry. His use of 80s-inspired synths changed the game, earning him the Grammy for Producer of the Year three years in a row. Including bonus tracks and vault tracks from 1989 (Taylor's Version), Antonoff co-wrote...

There is famously no bad blood between Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift. In fact, if their respective discographies are any indication, the mega stars may be closer to twin flames than anything else.

This week, Bad Bunny and Swift have become chart competitors as they go head to head on the Billboard 200. Bad Bunny’s new album Debí Tirar Más Fotos has been inescapable since its January 5 release, and was expected to top the chart in its second week of sales. But Swift’s new reissue of the limited-edition vinyl...

Taylor Swift has borrowed from all different genres throughout her career, and despite mainly sticking to pop, she's even released some rock-inspired songs. Swift started her career as a country music singer before branching out and becoming a major pop star. Swift has released eleven albums and has never done the same thing twice, which has contributed to her massive success. After releasing her third pop album, Lover, Swift pivoted again, dropping folklore and evermore. The albums, which she referred to as sisters, leaned heavily into folk music, as most of the songs were folktales rather than nonfiction stories.

Back in 2010, however, Swift started shifting from country music and started bringing in more rock influences. During this time, she was hanging out a lot with Paramore's lead singer Hayley Williams, and she even brought her friend out as a special guest during the Speak Now tour. During the same tour,...

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour will long live in music history.

After completing the final night of its 149-date run, Swift’s Eras Tour became the first $2 billion tour, selling a total of $2,077,618,725 in tickets, according to The New York Times, which confirmed with Swift’s camp. The Hollywood Reporter has separately confirmed with a source.

The New York Times reports that a total of 10,168,008 people attended the concerts, which equated to a seat selling for about $204 on average. Swift’s eight nights at Wembley Stadium drew 753,112 people. The biggest single night’s attendance was Feb. 16, 2024, in Melbourne, Australia with 96,006.

The only other tour that has crossed the $1 billion mark is Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour, a feat achieved after two and a half years of shows, according to Billboard. Meanwhile, Elton John’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour brought in $939 million on a tour that spanned...

For music fans, December is always partly defined by statistics, thanks to the annual Spotify Wrapped round-up that just landed on millions of homepages. The yearly opportunity to learn how many times you obsessively streamed your favorite songs, how much your children ruined your profile, and exactly who you are as a person, as defined by your tastes, is catnip for musical stattos. It's been an inspired move by Spotify since it launched 10 years ago.

This year's Spotify Wrapped marked a dramatic shift in one major way from 2023's edition. While the overall top streamed artist list again had more male artists, all five of the biggest-streamed albums were released by women. Alongside Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department, Billie Eilish’s third album Hit Me Hard took second spot, Sabrina Carpenter’s Short 'n Sweet came in third, with Colombian artist Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito in...

Taylor Swift was the top global artist of 2024 on Spotify, as revealed in the streamer’s yearly Wrapped rundown of the most popular recordings. She achieved more than 26.6 billion streams around the world, putting her ahead of The Weeknd at No. 2, Bad Bunny at No. 3, Drake at No. 4, and Billie Eilish at No. 5. Rounding out the top 10 were Travis Scott, Peso Pluma, Kanye West, Ariana Grande, and Feid.

Swift’s success was powered by her blockbuster album “The Tortured Poets Department,” which spent 15 weeks on top of the Billboard 200 albums chart. That made it the longest-running chart-topper of her career. So it’s no surprise that “Tortured Poets” was also Spotify’s No. 1 global album. Swift actually achieved three of the top 10 streaming albums, with “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” coming in at No. 6 and “Lover” following at No. 8. Notably, the top...

It’s time to welcome the first big gift of the holiday season with the arrival of Spotify Wrapped 2024. The annual recap, looking back at the most-listened artists, albums, and genres for individuals and global Spotify users as a whole, has officially arrived.

As with previous years, Spotify has curated a distinct aesthetic to mark the 2024 rollout, featuring eye-catching visuals and a number of new features. They’ve also taken the celebration out of the app and into the world; people in West Hollywood can dance down to a pop-up celebrating the Pink Pony Club, while those in New York might be able to spot a Tinashe billboard celebrating the borough that streamed her hit “Nasty” more than any other.

The year was undoubtedly a great one for pop music — specifically, women in the genre! On Wednesday, Spotify announced its end-of-year Spotify Wrapped data, including its ranking of most-streamed albums globally, which saw women in the Top Eight slots for 2024.

Topping the list was Taylor Swift with her album The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology. Swift made the Top 10 twice more: 2023’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) reached Number Six and 2019’s Lover came in at Number Eight.

Cooper, who hosts Call Her Daddy, interviewed Vice President Kamala Harris on her show and took the second place slot for the second year in a row.

Notably, the two podcasts still topped the list after Spotify ceded exclusivity of both titles. The top five podcasts globally also included Huberman Lab and This Past Weekend w/Theo Von in the third and fourth spots and The Diary of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, a British video podcast, in the fifth spot.

Here’s why Emma Corrin almost passed on The Crown ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

With The Crown’s Diana season approaching, the pressure was on. Fans were dying to see Diana, and Emma was cast as the “People’s Princess.” But here’s the twist: she almost turned it down. Why? Imposter syndrome. A fresh Cambridge gra, facing the role of a lifetime, and her first instinct? Bail.

Here’s the thing: Corrin was an unknown, still figuring out life post-college, when she got the call. Auditioning for an ample role is one thing, but The Crown? Playing Diana? She was shaking in her boots. Emma doubted if she was the right fit. But after a bit of pep talk from the show’s team, plus a lot of deep breaths, she went for it. Thank the royal god that she did.

Her portrayal of Diana was, in a word, magic.

Peggy Caserta, whose candid revelations about her romantic relationship with rock star Janis Joplin were revealed in a groundbreaking if often sordid 1973 tell-all book that she later disavowed as ghostwritten exploitation, died Thursday, November 21, of natural causes at her cabin on the Tillamook River on the Oregon Coast. She was 84.

Her death was announced to Deadline by Nancy Cleary, her friend and the publisher at Wyatt-MacKenzie, the publishing house that in 2018 released I Ran Into Some Trouble, Caserta’s second book of memoirs that revisited much of the events of the first, Going Down With Janis, as well as chronicled the author’s tumultuous life in the decades after Joplin’s 1970 death.

Her first memoir, written she later said for the sole purpose of funding the ferocious heroin habit that would dog her for decades, has over the years been both reviled as a tawdry invasion of privacy and revered...

Over the last two decades, Taylor Swift has been able to play nearly every song in her discography, aside from the following 13 songs. With 11 studio albums under Swift's belt, not including her "Taylor's Version" re-records, and countless other EPs, singles, special editions, and more, Swift has one of the most impressive discographies in the music industry today. Despite the massive number of songs Swift has accumulated, she's still managed to play nearly every single one of them live on at least one occasion, something The Eras Tour has certainly helped her to accomplish.

With the "Surprise Songs" set at The Eras Tour, Swift has given herself the opportunity to play almost all the songs from the albums she's released ever since she embarked on her Reputation Stadium Tour in 2018, including Lover, folklore, evermore, Midnights, and The Tortured Poets Department. Not only that, but her mashups and more have also...

Taking a break from holiday movies, Un/Happy For You, a Filipino Netflix Original, tells the story of an ex-couple who run into each other under extraordinary circumstances and discuss their relationship and eventual breakup. Un/Happy For You is an ideal mix of 500 Days of Summer, the Hollywood cult film, and the recently released Tamil film Lover, which was about toxic relationships and breakups.

Where did Zy and Juancho meet?

Un/Happy For You began with Zy and Juancho meeting in Bicol, a province in the Philippines known for its spicy food. They enter a spicy food eating contest as partners and win the contest. Since their first meeting and owing to their shared interest in Bicol cuisine, which Juancho was good at, both fell in love eventually. He was an aspiring chef from then on, Juancho and Zy were together.

Why did Juancho want to talk to Zy many years later?...

Some lessons need to be learned over and over again. When Bob Dylan and the Beatles broke through in the Sixties, they paved the way for generations of artists to write their own songs. But by the early 2000s, the charts had been largely reclaimed by pro songwriters and svengali producers — until a young, putatively country artist named Taylor Swift came along.

As Swift rapidly moved toward pop stardom, guitar always in hand, she started an industry-wide movement toward artists — especially young women — writing about their own lives again. “When...

The true-crime genre has grown with such intensity over the last decade, there is now a plethora of options for viewers interested in the macabre. Documentaries like Netflix's Lover, Stalker, Killer, and American Nightmare fascinated viewers as soon as they hit the streaming service. Regional investigative series are cropping up left and right, like The Real Murders of Atlanta, Sin City Murders, and New York Homicide. Series that have been running for more than two decades, like Forensic Files and Snapped, know that in the modern age of ever-present video footage of crime scenes and their surrounding areas, the amount of creepy crimes being documented has only increased in turn.

Even though she's no stranger to Netflix, having starred in the streamer's original movies Outlaw King, Malevolent, and The Wonder, Academy Award-nominated actress Florence Pugh's biggest Netflix role is still to come. The talented star will lead the cast of Netflix's upcoming limited series East of Eden, based on the novel of the same name by John Steinbeck.

Pugh first became attached to star when word of the project was revealed by Deadline back in June 2022, but Netflix officially gave the limited series the green light in September 2024. Along with Pugh leading the cast, three additional cast members were announced at the time of the green light: Christopher Abbott, Mike Faist, and Hoon Lee.

Taylor Swift is a historic artist at the Grammys with more Album of the Year victories than any other artist (four). She has prevailed for “Fearless,” “1989,” “Folklore,” and just this past year “Midnights.” While accepting one of her awards for “Midnights,” the prolific singer-songwriter announced her next album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” which dropped in April and has become one of the biggest commercial hits of her career, spending 15 nonconsecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200 albums chart. But will she rack up more top Grammy wins so soon after her record-breaking “Midnights” triumph? She’s certainly going to try. Here are her nine submissions on the Grammy ballot:

Two years ago, we brought you the news that Florence Pugh had signed on to star in a new adaptation of East Of Eden, John Steinbeck's 1952 literary epic. In the time since the project — a seven-part Netflix limited series written by Zoe Kazan (The Big Sick) — was first announced, Christopher Abbott has joined the show's cast and Pugh's star has continued to rise with winning turns in the likes of The Wonder, Oppenheimer, and Dune: Part Two. And now we're getting an exciting new casting announcement for the series as Netflix has officially greenlit the project. Per Deadline's reporting, Challengers star Mike Faist has joined the ensemble, and whilst earlier indications suggested he will be playing Cal Trask, the part James Dean famously played in Elia Kazan's 1955 movie, it looks instead like he'll be playing the novel's Cain figure, Charles, instead.

Movies have the power to transform people’s perspectives on various social subjects. The right film can also help inspire a generation and give them something to look up to. It’s no wonder that people look to Hollywood for adequate and fair representation.

A big franchise like Marvel has the innate responsibility to portray characters from a wide range. When Sandra Bullock was asked for her opinion on the topic, she burst out with praises for one Marvel movie which gave her everything she asked for. The actress was moved to tears by Blank Panther and the way it represented African culture and empowered female characters.

Sandra Bullock is one of the most iconic actresses in Hollywood, with a career spanning several decades. Movies like Speed, Gravity, The Blind Side, The Lost City, Bird Box, and many more skyrocketed her to fame.

In a joint Instagram post, Diljit, dressed in an all-white outfit, excitedly introduced Ed to the Birmingham crowd with his iconic Punjabi shout, “Ed Sheeran aa gaya oye!” Ed, casually dressed in a black T-shirt, dark grey track pants, and orange sneakers, then joined him on stage. Together, they performed a live mashup of Ed’s hit The Shape of You and Diljit’s popular song Naina from the recent Bollywood heist film Crew. The duo ended their heartwarming performance with a hug, cementing their on-stage chemistry.

Baz Luhrmann has proved his pedigree time and again over a 3 decade long career. The Australian director might not have a plethora of movies to his name, but each work of his is a classic in its own stead, be it the Leonardo DiCaprio starrer The Great Gatsby, or Elvis Presley.

With his association with Warner Bros. proving highly successful for him, it was anybody’s guess that a third movie was always on the cards. And it seems to have materialized finally, as the Studio has given official word about the Strictly Ballroom director’s future.

Baz Luhrmann‘s 62nd birthday has brought with it a memorable gift for him – a new movie with Warner Brothers Studios.

For over a century, historians gazed upon Abraham Lincoln as one of America’s most celebrated leaders—the man who guided the nation through civil war and issued the moving Emancipation Proclamation. But Lincoln’s personal life remained shrouded, hiding intimate friendships that challenge our view of him. Now, new filmmaker Shaun Peterson brings these whispers to light, introducing Lincoln as someone far more relatable.

Lover of Men tells the quiet story of four relationships central to Lincoln’s world. It explores his unlikely bond with Joshua Speed, unfolding like a friendship far beyond norms. We see Lincoln drawn to others too: young Elmer Ellsworth, a spark lighting Lincoln’s final challenging years, and David Derickson, a protector growing close in private hours.

Through letters and snapshots, Peterson pieces together a different picture of Lincoln, one of vulnerable connection. Experts analyze subtle cues from another era, finding clues where once few looked.

Speculation about a potential collaboration between Megan Thee Stallion and BTS ignited when Megan posted a cryptic message on X (formerly Twitter) on August 29. Her post featured a series of emojis, including a horse, a purple heart, and side-eye emojis, with an X symbol placed between the first two emojis. Fans quickly latched onto the purple heart, a symbol often associated with BTS, fueling rumors of a possible collaboration between the rapper and the K-pop superstars.

These speculations gained more traction when the official BTS account on X quoted Megan’s post, adding a hedgehog and a koala emoji to the mix. This subtle response led fans to believe that the collaboration might involve Rm, one of BTS’s members, whose BT21 character is a koala named Koya. The hedgehog emoji is thought to be a playful reference to Rm’s current hairstyle,...

The first Taylor Swift lullaby album from Rockabye Baby! was released in 2015 and includes renditions of “Love Story,” “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “22,” and more. It’s currently available on vinyl or CD.

Meanwhile, Swift just wrapped up her Wembley Stadium run after bringing out Florence Welch to perform “Florida!!!” for the first time. In October, she will embark on the final leg of “The Eras Tour” featuring stops in Miami, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Toronto, and Vancouver. Grab your last-minute tickets here.

Upon wrapping her final show of the European leg of the Eras tour, Taylor Swift released the official music video for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” which features behind-the-scenes clips from the setup of the tour to how she moves around beneath and behind the stage.

The video starts with a time-lapse of a crowd filling one of the stadiums before a show. Viewers can see Swift get in position for her first entrance of the night through the floor set to “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince,” and she gets pulled on a moving seat underneath the length of the stage in the Lover era body suit before changing outfits to transition to the Fearless era. Fans can even see a clip of her getting into the “cleaning cart” that they use to transport her to that first elevator platform for the start of the show.

Taylor Swift brought out Florence Welch for a duet performance of “Florida!!!,” the track off of her latest album the Tortured Poets Department, to close out the final night of the European leg of her Eras tour.

Welch joined Swift on stage at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday to belt out the chorus — “Say it’s unforgivable/What a crash, what a rush/Fuck me up, Florida!” — to a crowd of more than 90,000 roaring fans. The joint performance marked the first time Swift sang the track on tour since her April album release.

Cinema isn’t a beauty contest, but if it were, Alain Delon surely would have won the title of the 1960s’ most handsome actor.

That’s a subjective call, of course, and as such, Delon is the kind of figure about whom writers tend to fall back on the word “arguably” — as in, “arguably the most handsome” — which is kind of a cop-out, as it leaves the argument to somebody else. When it comes to Delon, plenty have made the case. I loved Anthony Lane’s longform analysis of Delon’s allure in The New Yorker earlier this year. And none other than Jane Fonda, who co-starred with Delon in 1964’s “Joy House,” described him as “the most beautiful human being.”

The French star, who died Sunday, made more than 100 movies in a career that spanned 50 years, but for that one transformative decade in film history — beginning with the Patricia Highsmith...

It is no secret that Taylor Swift and Blake Lively go way back. The All I See is You star and Lover singer have been at each others’ side ever since they connected in Australia for a day back in 2015. And they never turned back. You know they are up close once you realise that the trio – James, Betty, and Inez, around whom Swift’s songs Cardigan, Betty, and August revolved, are actually the names of Lively’s kids.

Add to that the fact that she is the godmother of all of them. Their camaraderie and close friendship are admired by the industry at large, even prompting many to think that they might be besties. They might not be wrong. And their friendship might have proved to be a boon in disguise for another actor, Isabela Ferrer.

The Marvel blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine” has thrilled audiences with surprise guest appearances from classic characters. Chief among these is a brief but impactful return from Chris Evans as Human Torch, delighting longtime fans of the actor and the iconic role.

Evans, best known for portraying Captain America in several hugely successful Marvel films, reprised his role as Johnny Storm from the 2005 “Fantastic Four” movie in a cameo that packed an emotional punch. While fans rejoiced at seeing Evans back in the blue uniform, the scene ended on a shocking note when Emma Corrin’s villain Cassandra Nova dispatched the Human Torch.

According to Evans, coming back for the cameo was an easy decision after getting a personal invite from his friend Ryan Reynolds, star of the Deadpool franchise. “Ryan and I have always had a great creative collaboration, from Free Guy to this,” Evans told Entertainment Weekly.
