Singer Taylor Swift dominated the box office this weekend with The Official Release Party of a Showgirl, surpassing films by Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Leonardo DiCaprio. To commemorate the “Blank Space” singer’s newest album, The Life of a Showgirl, Swift launched a three-day showing of The Official Release Party of a Showgirl. Swift’s “cinematic experience” earned $33 million domestically and $13 million internationally, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Johnson’s newest film—which sparked Oscar buzz after receiving a 15-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival—earned only $6 million over the weekend, placing the film in third place. In second place was DiCaprio’s One Battle After Another, which earned $11.1 million this weekend. According to an AMC press release, Swift’s movie played at 540 AMC theater locations, along with additional non-AMC theaters in North America. The Smashing Machine played in over 3,345 theaters. Fans experienced an 89 minute compilation consisting of a music video premiere for “The Fate of Ophelia,” behind-the-scenes footage, lyric videos, and “never-before-seen personal reflections” from Swift. The pop singer’s album released Friday and experienced record-breaking numbers. A historic 2.7 million copies sold in the first day, making it the largest week of Swift’s career according to Billboard.
The White House is trying to have the last laugh after Saturday Night Live mocked President Donald Trump and his cabinet during its Season 51 premiere. In the cold open, James Austin Johnson’s Trump warned, “[SNL] better be on their best behavior,” seemingly alluding to censorship fears following the temporary suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! “Otherwise they’ll have to answer to my attack dog at the FCC, Brandon Carr,” he added, before Mikey Day’s Carr creepily danced onstage to Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me.” The show was also hosted by forthcoming Super Bowl headliner and Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny, who has been outspoken with his condemnation of the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts in recent months. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson hit back at the show in a statement to Entertainment Weekly: “And like the millions of Americans who have tuned out from SNL, I have more entertaining things to do—like watch paint dry.” Johnson’s Trump closed the sketch by telling the camera, “Thank you, SNL crew, for your hard work and your votes.”

Ike Turner Jr., the son of Tina Turner and Ike Turner, died at age 67 Saturday at a Los Angeles hospital. Tina’s niece, Jacqueline Bullock, confirmed his death in a statement to the New York Post. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner, Jr.,” Bullock said in a statement. “‘Junior’ was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together.” His cause of death was kidney failure, according to TMZ. The outlet reported that his health had been in decline, suffering from heart issues and a stroke. Ike Jr. was born in 1958 to Ike Sr. and Lorraine Taylor; Tina adopted him when he was two years old. “From an early age, his talents were evident as there wasn’t an instrument he did not want to play,” Bullock said. Like his musician parents, Ike Jr. pursued a career in the music industry, leaving school at 13 years old to tour with his father. He also worked as Tina’s sound engineer, and later earned a Grammy for producing his father’s 2006 album, Risin’ with the Blues.
Actress Nicole Kidman has been spotted in public for the first time since news of her split from husband Keith Urban broke last week. The couple is divorcing after 19 years of marriage. Kidman attended a Foundation for AIDS Research auction in Dallas Saturday, at which she presented actor Taylor Sheridan with an award. The star recently collaborated on the TV series Lioness with the actor. “I think what Taylor recognizes, as we all do, is that we are all more alike than we are different, and that we are better when we look out for each other, and that of course is why we’re here tonight,” she said during her address. Kidman’s understood to have filed for divorce from Urban over “irreconcilable differences,” with sources close to the former couple suggesting “all signs point to the fact that Keith is with another woman,” with the rumors “all over Nashville.” Kidman and Urban have lived in the Tennessee city since 2007. Prior to the end of their marriage, the pair had apparently been attempting work things through, even as they’d taken to living apart since the beginning of this summer.
Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner got engaged to his girlfriend Lana Sutton less than a year after the pair went public with their relationship. The reality TV star announced he was dating the retired teacher in April, a year after he divorced Theresa Nist, who he met on the first season of the ABC show. Turner announced his engagement via Instagram, where he shared photos of the pair, with Sutton’s diamond ring in every photo. “We’ve got BIG news. The Golden Bachelor is OFF the market,” read the caption. “I found my perfect match and she said ‘YES’. I Love this woman.” The pair began dating after Sutton reached out to him via Facebook, and since then, Turner has been posting photos of the couple on social media. The reality TV show is a spinoff of iconic dating show The Bachelor, centering on senior citizens looking for love. Turner was the first season’s bachelor, and married Nist in January 2024. The pair divorced three months later in April. Despite their split, Nist has previously expressed that she harbors no ill will. “I really am happy for him,” she said. “He found someone that really suits him, and that’s wonderful.”
The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Alexis Bellino celebrated her third marriage this week, tying the knot with John Janssen on Friday in a “rustic chic” wedding in Laguna Beach, California. Prior to dating Bellino, Janssen dated fellow housewife Shannon Storms Beador, whom he later sued for $75,000 for breach of contract over money he reportedly lent her for a facelift while they were dating. The lawsuit became a point of contention between the two women when they both appeared on season 18 of the show, with Bellino returning as a friend of the show after leaving the main cast in season 8. The wedding was attended by 140 of the couple’s family and friends, including RHOC star Tamra Judge and fellow alum Jo De La Rosa. Sharing a photo from her wedding on Instagram, Bellino wrote, “I’m married!!!!!!! I love you Johnny! I’m Mrs. Janssen!!! ♥️💍” In a second post, she wrote, “My husband. My forever. Thank you, God, for bringing this man to me and my kids. He loves them as his own. And we were a package deal. I love his kids the same!!!!! We are now a family of 8,” adding the hashtag #moderndaybradybunch.

With fall on the horizon, it’s time to get back into jackets. There’s truly nothing like a good jacket worn on a crisp autumn day, but finding the right one is actually harder than it seems. I’ve never been much of a jacket kind of guy, but then I came across a really special jacket from Huckberry, and now I understand why it’s a bestseller. Flint & Tinder’s Waxed Trucker Jacket is the best jacket in my closet—and frankly, the best thing I own at this point. This lightweight yet rugged jacket has only gotten better and better the more I’ve worn it, and I’ve owned it for a few years now. The waxed canvas feels soft and supple to the touch, and when I throw it on, it isn’t restricting at all.

What’s cool is with every movement, I can feel myself making a mark on the jacket—whether I’m leaning over to tie my shoes or hopping on my bike—I can feel the jacket getting more and more comfortable and broken in. The exterior is made with a weather-resistant waxed Martexin sailcloth; the interior is fully lined with a blanket-worthy lining, so you get the best of both worlds. It’s extremely stylish and goes with anything I wear it over, like sweaters, tees, and even button-downs. Right now, it comes in several different colors, but personally, I’m partial to the Havana brown. Slowly, this isn’t just becoming the best jacket in my closet, but it’s the only one I ever want to wear—that’s how good it is.
Mark Sanchez, Fox Sports analyst and former NFL quarterback, was stabbed in Indianapolis early Saturday morning during an alleged fight with a food delivery driver over parking, according to FOX59. Sanchez, who was taken to the hospital with critical injuries, is now reportedly in stable condition. The 38-year-old was also placed under arrest for his role in the incident, with the driver claiming that Sanchez was the aggressor. The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department announced that Sanchez has been charged with three misdemeanor offenses: battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication. In a previous statement to CNN, the police department said the incident “involved two adult males, resulting in one man receiving lacerations and the other sustaining injuries consistent with stab wounds.” The attack was also categorized as “an isolated incident,” not a random act. Police received a call at approximately 12:30 a.m. on Saturday that two people were injured in downtown Indianapolis. Sanchez was in Indiana’s capital city to commentate on Sunday’s game between the Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders. The former quarterback played 10 seasons in the league and hosts the Fox Sports digital show Rearview. Fox Sports PR issued a statement, writing: “Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family’s privacy during this time.”
Jessica Kirson expressed “sincere regret” for participating in Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Comedy Festival. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Kirson admitted she was surprised to be invited to the festival and even requested “guarantee” that she could be “openly out as a lesbian on stage and perform gay material.” “I hoped that this could help LGBTQ+ people in Saudi Arabia feel seen and valued,” she continued. “I am grateful that I was able to do precisely that—to my knowledge, I am the first openly gay comic to talk about it on stage in Saudi Arabia. I received messages from attendees sharing how much it meant to them to participate in a gay-affirming event. At the same time, I deeply regret participating under the auspices of the Saudi government.” Kirson said performing at the festival, which features comics like Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr and Louis C.K., has “weighed heavily on [her] heart.” Comedians such as David Cross and Marc Maron have spoken out against the festival. Atsuko Okatsuka, who turned down an offer to perform, posted the contract online, which barred comedians from saying anything that would “degrade” Saudi Arabia or its royal family. Maron’s critique came in the form of a joke regarding the murder of Saudi journalist and dissident Jamal Khashoggi, saying, “The same guy that’s gonna pay [the comedians] is the same guy that paid that guy to bonesaw Jamal Khashoggi.” Comedian Tim Dillon, who says the festival fired im after he joked about forced labor, said comics were paid huge sums of money to perform.
