Oscar Isaac revealed he won’t return to the Star Wars franchise until Disney takes a more aggressive stance against the Trump administration. Isaac, who plays Resistance pilot Poe Dameron in the franchise’s sequel trilogy, said in an interview published Monday that following the media conglomerate’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel Live! in September, he was not so optimistic about returning to Star Wars. “Right now, I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great,” Isaac told GQ. The actor had told Variety in August that he was open to the idea of returning to the franchise, saying, “I’d be a Star Wars again if there was something to do with that." From Sept. 17 through Sept. 22, the production of Jimmy Kimmel Live! was suspended by ABC and Disney in the wake of criticism over Kimmel’s comments about the death of conservative media personality Charlie Kirk. Production restarted on Sept. 23 after critics said the suspension violated free speech. Sally Kirkland, 84, has entered hospice after being diagnosed with dementia in 2024. The actress entered hospice care at a hospital in Palm Springs, California, where her friend and previous student Coty Galloway is by her side, Michael Greene, Kirkland’s representative, told TMZ. Greene also revealed that the actress had been diagnosed with dementia last year. Greene did not immediately respond to the Beast’s request for comment. A GoFundMe page that Galloway and Kirkland’s other friends created explained that the actress had also been experiencing “life-threatening infections” and had been injured during a “fall in the shower, when she was left unattended.” A Nov. 7 update to the page confirmed that Sally had entered hospice and “is resting comfortably.” Before her medical challenges, Kirkland was best known for playing the titular role in the 1987 film Anna, for which she won a Golden Globe and received an Oscar nomination for Best Actress, losing out to Cher for Moonstruck. Kirkland has been acting since the 1960s—appearing in movies like JFK, The Sting, Bruce Almighty and Private Benjamin—but has continued to land roles in projects releasing this year. Her IMDb shows that the actress has five upcoming projects she’s set to appear in, as well.

Jessica Alba and Danny Ramirez have confirmed their relationship in an Instagram post. The actress, 44, filed for divorce from husband and producer Cash Warren in February of this year after nearly 17 years of marriage because of “irreconcilable differences.” Alba has made her debut back in the dating scene with Ramirez, best known for playing Joaquin Torres/Falcon in Marvel’s Captain America. Speculation about the relationship started when they were seen together on vacation in Mexico and multiple paparazzi signing of the couple canoodling. In August a source told Us Weekly that Alba was happy in her transition into a “new chapter” as she is “casually dating Danny” and “having a lot of fun.” The source shared that the couple “were friends before it turned romantic,” because they “run in the same social circle.” The two confirmed the rumors by making their relationship Instagram official. They shared a few snapshots of their night at the celebrity-attended Baby2Baby Gala, an event raising millions to help children in poverty. That night Jessica shared images with Kerry Washington, Serena Williams, Alicia Keys and many other celebrities. The selfie showed Ramirez affectionately wrapping his arms around Alba as they shared a laugh. A sharply dressed “detective” who became a viral sensation after he was snapped at the scene of the Louvre heist has broken his silence after weeks of speculation. Fifteen-year-old Pedro Elias Garzon Delvaux was outside the Louvre when last month’s multimillion-dollar jewel heist took place. He was snapped next to police wearing a fedora and waistcoat in an image that soon went viral as people joked that he resembled an old-timey detective sent to investigate the scene. “I didn’t know there was a heist,” Delvaux, a schoolboy from south-west Paris, told CNN. The teen became aware of his fame four days after the pic was snapped, when a friend showed him a screenshot and asked, “is that you?” but decided to keep his mouth shut at first. “I didn’t want to say immediately it was me,” he explained. “With this photo, there is a mystery, so you have to make it last.” Delvaux, who cited fictional detectives Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot as style icons, said he dresses the way he does because “I like to be chic. I go to school like this.” When asked if his schoolmates appreciate his vintage style, the teen replied, “Yeah, I think I have a lot of aura.” Scouted selects products independently.

Womanizer’s new Next Duo is here to heat things up—whether you’re flying solo or spending the season with your S.O. The dual stimulator features the brand’s next-gen 3D Pleasure Air technology combined with deep G-spot vibrations, all engineered to deliver blended orgasms (that’s clitoral and vaginal stimulation happening at the same time). “Blended orgasms are unique because they activate different nerve pathways simultaneously,” explains Elisabeth Neumann, Sexologist and Head of User Research at Womanizer. “The outer clitoris and the vagina send signals through partly separate pleasure routes to the brain. This parallel activation leads to overlapping but distinct patterns of arousal. Many people describe the resulting sensations as deeper, longer-lasting, and more full-body than those from single-point stimulation.” Womanizer Next Duo Dual Stimulator Womanizer is calling the Next Duo its most innovative product yet—and testers agree. In trials, 97 percent of participants said they were more likely to reach a blended orgasm with the Next Duo than with any other toy. Even better, 91 percent reported feeling happier, more relaxed, and less stressed afterward. Considering that some studies show orgasms release endorphins and lower cortisol, think of this as your new go-to for pleasure and stress relief. After all, fall and winter are the perfect time to invest in your sexual wellness routine—and the Next Duo might just become the highlight of cuffing season. Federal and state health authorities are investigating 13 confirmed infant botulism cases across 10 states connected to a recalled baby-formula brand. The Food and Drug Administration says all affected infants consumed the same two lot numbers of the product, manufactured by ByHeart Inc, which was voluntarily pulled from shelves. The states hit include Arizona, California, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington. There are no deaths reported so far, and ByHeart, which accounts for only 1 percent of national formula sales, said the recall is precautionary. Under Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Department of Health and Human Services has nevertheless launched a major review of infant-formula safety and nutrition standards. Named “Operation Stork Speed,” the effort largely focuses on testing for heavy metals and other contaminants, even as critics say the department has overstated the risks and may prompt unfounded distrust among parents toward existing, FDA-approved infant formulas. The agency’s investigation into the current outbreak remains ongoing. Donald Trump’s Sunday journey back to D.C. was marked by his odd arrival to the Palm Beach International Airport. The President spent Friday evening to Sunday afternoon in Florida, making sure to host another garish party at Mar-a-Lago during his brief trip. As Trump was heading to the airport en route to Washington in the presidential limo known as The Beast, a glaring issue was spotted. The trunk was up, and Trump sat seemingly unaware in the back seat. CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins flagged the strange detail on X. The incident follows Trump’s slumping entry into a waiting car on Friday, which occurred shortly after he was photographed falling asleep during a White House press conference. Quickly, others on the social media platform jumped in to blast the president’s airport arrival. One commenter noted that “metaphors abound” as many others piped up with jokes about the driving faux pas. “The man who shut off food benefits for millions can’t even shut the trunk of his own limo. Symbolic, isn’t it? Everything falling apart — except his ego," another person said. “Too much cash. Wouldn’t shut,” said a third user. Veteran actor Betty Harford, known for her work on both the big and small screens, has died at the age of 98. The Dynasty star played cook Hilda Gunnerson for 34 episodes across eight seasons, and depicted Ms. Nottingham for 45 episodes of The Paper Chase. Her death on Nov. 2 was confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter by a friend, Wendy Mitchell. She wrote on Facebook, “Betty’s son contacted me this morning and Betty Harford Naszody passed away peacefully with family at her side, noon on Nov. 2, 2025, she was 98.” She had been living in Santa Barbara, California. Over her career, she appeared in a range of productions, including Gunsmoke, The Wild and the Innocent, and Inside Daisy Clover. She was married to Hungarian actor Sandor Naszody, who died in 1996, and before that, she had been married to sculptor Oliver Andrews. The Private Detective and The Twilight Zone star is survived by her son from her first marriage, Chris. The presence of NFL fan and occasional sporting commentator Donald Trump wasn’t enough to prevent a brutal loss for the Washington Commanders on Sunday. The president attended their showdown with the Detroit Lions at the Northwest Stadium in Maryland. While the Commanders were hoping to end a four-game losing streak, they were beaten by the Lions 44-22. The loss followed Trump insisting the Commanders christen their new stadium in Washington, D.C., after him. “That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told ESPN last week. Trump was invited to the game by Josh Harris, owner of the Commanders. He became the first sitting president to attend a regular-season game since Jimmy Carter in 1978. Also watching the Commanders lose were Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, House Speaker Mike Johnson and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. Trump was also soundly booed by the audience during his appearance at the event. The day wasn’t a total write-off, however, with the president gifted a “Trump 47″ Commanders jersey by Harris, with a photo of the handover posted by White House communications adviser Margo Martin.

Wilkens had a 15-year career as a player between 1960 and 1975 at the St. Louis Hawks, Seattle SuperSonics, Cleveland Cavaliers and Portland Trail Blazers. He began his coaching career in 1969 while still playing, eventually coaching teams including the Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors and the New York Knicks. Wilkens coached 2,487 games, the most in NBA history, and won 1,332 games as a coach. He also won an Olympic gold medal as coach of the 1996 U.S. team. “Lenny Wilkens represented the very best of the NBA-as a Hall of Fame player, Hall of Fame coach, and one of the game’s most respected ambassadors,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement on Sunday. “So much so that, four years ago, Lenny received the unique distinction of being named one of the league’s 75 greatest players and 15 greatest coaches of all time... I send my heartfelt condolences to Lenny’s wife, Marilyn; their children, Leesha, Randy and Jamee; and all those throughout the NBA community who were fortunate to be touched by Lenny’s leadership and generosity.” Born in Brooklyn in 1937, at the end of the Great Depression, he joined the St. Louis Hawks in 1960 and juggled playing basketball with a career as a Second Lieutenant in the Army until 1962. Wilkens served at Fort Lee, Virginia, playing for the St. Louis Hawks on weekends. Sydney Sweeney’s latest release, Christy, has rounded off its opening weekend in theaters, and came in at an anticlimactic 11th place in the box office. Christy is a sports drama focused on the rise of pro boxer Christy Martin in the 90s. However, the movie wasn’t such a hit with audiences despite its inspirational subject matter. Alongside mixed critics’ reviews, it scraped in just $1.3 million from its opening weekend, despite a generous rollout at 2,011 theaters. In contrast, Remi Malek’s Nuremburg was shown at just 1,802 theatres, but blew Sweeney’s biopic out of the water by raking in $4.1 million. Top of the leaderboard was Predator: Badlands, which earned an incredible $40 million over the same weekend. Just prior to her film release, Sweeney addressed her controversial American Eagle advertisement. “I did a jean ad,” Sweeney told GQ when asked about the reaction. “I mean, the reaction was definitely a surprise, but I love jeans. All I wear are jeans. I’m literally in jeans and a T-shirt every day of my life.”
