32 years old and it feels like yesterday when I first laid eyes on the Sprouse twins! Dylan and Cole, those childhood sensations who’ve grown into talented gentlemen. Their acting skills, as timeless as fine wine, have only improved with age. And here’s a tidbit you might find fascinating: even Adam Sandler, their Big Daddy co-star, was left in awe by their impressive performances, admitting he felt ‘ill’ from the sheer brilliance they displayed!

Netflix has unveiled a sneak peek for The Platform 2, showcasing its impressive ensemble cast and disclosing its release date. A follow-up to the 2019 film of the same name, directed by Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia, resumes its chilling dystopian narrative following a four-year gap since it was confirmed in May 2023.

It appears that Will Smith is preparing for his upcoming movie, a sequel to the 2007 blockbuster apocalyptic film “I Am Legend.” Lately, the actor has been spotted in a social media video, expressing nostalgia as he strolled through the streets of Zurich, Switzerland.

The film Junebug features a stellar cast including Amy Adams, Embeth Davidtz, Ben McKenzie, Alessandro Nivola, Celia Weston, Scott Wilson, David Kuhn, and Alicia Van Couvering, each delivering exceptional performances.

20-year-old son of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Pax, has been discharged from the Intensive Care Unit following the “complicated injury” he sustained in the accident that occurred on July 29 in Los Angeles. A family friend shared with magazines such as People and Us Weekly on August 4 that while Pax is improving, he still faces a lengthy “recovery journey involving physical therapy” after colliding his electric bike with a car at an intersection on Los Feliz Boulevard towards the end of July.

Kyle Chan, a renowned jewelry designer with clients like Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, publicly backed Tom Sandoval amid the Scandoval controversy. Chan explained that although Sandoval’s actions have been called into question, he feels obligated to stand by him due to their close bond. To Kyle, Sandoval is more than just a friend; he considers him family, and as such, believes in offering support during difficult times, even when mistakes are made.

During one of his latest performances, Jelly Roll paused to help a cancer survivor, who was a fan, locate more comfortable seating areas for the concert.

Zac Efron has fully recovered from his health issue and is now focusing on getting back into top physical form. Following a brief hospitalization in Spain, the actor eased fan concerns by stating that he was fine. Over the weekend, he shared a picture of himself on Instagram Stories, working out shirtless on an exercise ball amidst the summer heat while lifting weights.

As a long-time fan of Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, seeing them make a rare public appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics with their daughters, Esmeralda and Amanda, was truly a heartwarming moment for me. Growing up, I admired both their acting abilities and their off-screen chemistry, so it was a joy to witness their family bond in person. It’s clear that they are dedicated parents who prioritize spending quality time with their children, and it’s always inspiring to see celebrities who manage to maintain a healthy work-life balance. I can only imagine the sense of pride they must feel as they watch their daughters grow up, and I hope that they continue to share more moments like this one with their fans in the future.

As a long-time aficionado of horror movies with a penchant for the bizarre and unusual, I find myself utterly enthralled by the current trend in the genre towards the surreal and uncanny. Having grown up on a steady diet of slasher flicks and classic monster movies, I’ve come to appreciate the value of taking these tropes and twisting them into something fresh and unnerving. The most recent film that has captured my imagination in this regard is Damian McCarthy’s Oddity, which I had the pleasure of viewing at Fantasia Fest 2024.
