After P Diddy’s September 2024 arrest based on accusations of s*x trafficking and racketeering, the disgraced rapper finally geared up for his jaw-dropping trial on May 5, 2025. Meanwhile, the drama surrounding the trial got serious when a list of around 190 celebrities popped up in the mix. And one among them is Michael B. Jordan.

Yep, our very own Killmonger from Black Panther has surprisingly appeared on the long list. But don’t worry—he’s not on trial. His name simply surfaced because of his rumored flirty fling with none other than Cassie Ventura, P Diddy’s ex. Back in 2015, while Cassie and Diddy were “on a break,” she reportedly got close to Jordan—and let’s just say, that sparked some heated drama.

David Spade was a cast member on Saturday Night Live when I was in high school, which as we all know means he imprinted on me in a fundamental way. But he was also a standup comic, and I’m sure I saw his set everywhere he did it, including in his first appearance on The Tonight Show in 1991.

More than 30 years later, Spade is still making jokes about air travel, waving drivers in ahead of him in traffic and the socially conscious celebrities of the day. Spade, in fact, still seems like he’s basically the same guy he was in that set from 1991, and you’re either going to like that or you’re not. Mostly, I did!

As someone who is both a comic and 60, Spade should be right on schedule to start complaining that he can’t say anything anymore. Instead, in his new special David...

Johnny Depp is slowly making his way back into Hollywood, but images from the set of his latest film, the action crime movie Day Drinker, has given a first look at the unrecognizable former heartthrob sporting a scruffy beard and long greying hair. However, it is all for the character he is playing, and the beard is not a permanent fixture that those who still follow Depp’s every move need to worry about.

Day Drinker will be the first major studio movie to star Depp since his legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard. While Heard has settled herself into a life away from the glare of Hollywood, Depp has been very slowly building a new portfolio of niche projects on his way to bigger things. While there are still several rumors circling the waters around a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean movie featuring Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, that...

A few months after the release and subsequent box office success of It Ends with Us, a Colleen Hoover adaptation that survived a barrage of speculation during production, star Blake Lively sued her director and co-actor Justin Baldoni for inappropriate behavior on set. Baldoni has denied any wrongdoing, and has counter-sued Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, alleging defamation. The legal battle is still unfolding, but its fallout was felt last week, when Lively returned with her first film since It Ends with Us, the Prime Video sequel Another Simple Favor. While the movie opened to mostly positive reviews, it would seem like it has become the latest victim of review-bombing.

This is when a group of viewers, usually men, collectively target minority-led projects and manipulate their ratings on aggregator websites such as Rotten Tomatoes. For instance, Another Simple Favor holds a 67% Rotten Tomatoes score, but its audience rating on...

Justin Baldoni is one of those rare people who’s done it all—acting, writing, speaking, and inspiring. You’ve probably seen him directing and starring in It Ends With Us, but Baldoni has a lot more up his sleeve!

Believe it or not, Baldoni wasn’t always sure he’d make it in Hollywood. Born in L.A., he wondered if acting or directing would ever be his thing. Then came Jane the Virgin, and boom—Baldoni was Rafael Solano. Fame hit fast, and so did the mental health juggling act, thanks to social media chaos.

The name Johnny Depp drips with drama almost as reliably as it does with box office gold. Every now and then, controversy seems to follow him like a shadow, long before and far beyond the chaos with Amber Heard.

Legal troubles have peppered his past as well, with flashes of aggression, scuffles with paparazzi and arrests that kept tabloids fed. As recently as January 2024, he faced new heat when Lola Glaudini claimed he verbally assaulted her while filming Blow, reigniting the question of who the real Depp is behind the makeup and movie magic.

It has been a lot more than a year since people worldwide have been coming across allegations of numerous heinous and explicit crimes against the now-disgraced music mogul P Diddy, and pretty much no day has gone by without any new update. And with each passing day, the day of Sean Combs’ reckoning in the court of law is inevitably drawing closer and closer.

But as the day of his trial, when he will have to face all the crippling accusations that have been levied against him, approaches rapidly, newer reports from experts are claiming that his trial might turn out to be a lot more grueling and long-lasting than Johnny Depp and Amber Heard went through during their legal troubles for divorce. Not to mention, it won’t be televised.

Biggest Celebrity Scandals, where fame turns into a circus, and reputations crumble faster than a house of cards in a hurricane. Hollywood isn’t just about talent, it’s also a stage for outrageous fiascos, jaw-dropping betrayals, and PR disasters so disastrous they deserve their own museum. One minute, a celebrity is adored; the next, they’re being roasted on every social media platform known to mankind.

Some scandals are so mind-boggling they make you question reality, like when someone gets caught red-handed but still insists, “It’s not what it looks like.” Others spiral out of control in real-time, with fans, haters, and long-lost acquaintances chiming in like it’s a neighborhood gossip session. Relationships implode, careers nosedive, and somewhere in the chaos, a publicist is probably chugging coffee, trying to fix the unfixable.

For years, fans have been clear about one thing: there's no Pirates of the Caribbean without Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow. Although things have been creaky when it comes to Pirates of the Caribbean 6, Disney is reportedly trying anything to bring Depp back.

Amid his legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard and her allegations, Johnny Depp lost several major roles in franchises like Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean and Warner Bros.' Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts. However, Disney wanted the Pirates to keep sailing, yet fans have been adamant that it wouldn't happen without Depp. Per a new update from The Daily Express, the House of Mouse is reportedly close to bringing Depp back.

The rumors that Johnny Depp would be a part of Pirates of the Caribbean 6 have been going on for years, as Disney has been working on a new film in the multi-billion-dollar franchise for years.

Johnny Depp could be closer than ever to making a shocking comeback to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, according to a new report. Despite having been booted out of the Disney saga following his legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp’s slow but sure comeback could apparently be complete by returning to the role of Jack Sparrow for a sixth Pirates movie.

According to The Express, a deal to bring Depp back to Disney’s juggernaut adventure franchise is “very close” and the actor is in “advanced” talks to reprise his Jack Sparrow role. For many, this could be a hard thing to believe considering the fallout of Depp’s fall from grace, and his adamant stance that he would never work with Disney again after the way they treated him during the time of his alleged “wife-beating” and the numerous trials that followed.

The report claims a...

Long before Amber Heard made headlines for a bizarre bed incident, Whoopi Goldberg had already confessed to a shockingly similar mishap though hers came with a totally different backstory. Let’s just say it didn’t involve courtroom drama or a messy breakup. Goldberg’s moment was more chaotic in a real-life, rock-bottom kind of way. No scandals. No finger-pointing. Just a brutally honest admission from a time when life was way off the rails.

It’s wild how these odd parallels pop up in pop culture, but context? That changes everything.

Johnny Depp can easily be one of the most celebrated and bankable actors in Hollywood, with a slew of blockbuster movies to his name. But behind all the fame and fortune, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor has also had very tough and deeply personal battles that have played out in the public eye.

From his struggles with substance abuse to reports of his compulsive spending, his private issues have on many occasions, overshadowed his on-screen talent. Moreover, in recent years, these issues have come under scrutiny, especially after this highly publicized trial with his former wife, Amber Heard.

But this also detailed the darker side of a celebrity’s life and the toll it can take even on the most iconic figures in the entertainment industry. So, let’s dive deeper to understand Johnny Depp‘s struggles with addiction and his alleged Compulsive Spending Disorder.

Searchlight Pictures has slated Jay Roach’s new comedy The Roses for an August 29 release. Based on the novel by Warren Adler, the film boasts an all-star cast which includes Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman. Now, the studio has given us a new look at the film with the first official trailer. The film also stars Andy Samberg, Allison Janney, Ncuti Gatwa, Jamie Demetriou, Zoë Chao, Belinda Bromilow, and Kate McKinnon. Tony McNamara (Poor Things) wrote the script. Jay Roach, who directed the Austin Powers and Meet the Parents movies, helms this retelling.

The official synopsis for The Roses reads:

“Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites.

Well! It’s happy news for all Johnny Depp fans as the Hollywood icon is all set to make his big screen comeback with his brand-new movie titled Day Drinker. The 61-year-old actor can easily be one of the most prominent figures in the acting business, with movies that have earned billions at the box office.

However, just like any other celebrity, he was also not immune to controversies, the most significant of which was his highly publicized legal battle with his ex-wife, Amber Heard. While this trial got its own place on Netflix, the actor was pretty much absent from the acting scene.

Now, after years of his personal life dominating the headlines, fans are absolutely thrilled to see him step back into the spotlight for what promises to be a brilliant cinematic experience.

Not just Depp, but this movie also features some of the most well-known faces from the industry,...

Johnny Depp once quipped, "I've had about 17 comebacks, and I don’t understand it because I didn’t go anywhere." Well, Day Drinker now marks comeback No. 18.

The three-time Oscar nominee for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Finding Neverland, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street just began production in Spain on the Lionsgate thriller Day Drinker. The plot follows a cruise ship bartender (Madelyn Cline) who becomes embroiled in a criminal enterprise with the titular alcoholic passenger (Depp) and a well-known criminal (Penélope Cruz). The first look photo featuring Depp (above) was released today.

Day Drinker marks Depp's first Hollywood film role since the conclusion of his highly publicized defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022. Before that, the controversial actor was arrested for assault in Vancouver (1989), for hotel damages in New York City (1994), and for fighting with paparazzi in London...

The It Ends With Us trial is still less than a year away, but new details are coming out. The legal drama has been going on for almost five months now, but Justin Baldoni is receiving a wave of support.

Blake Lively made her first allegations against co-star, director, and producer Justin Baldoni in a Crd complaint filed on Dec. 21, later covered in a lengthy investigative piece in The New York Times. This led to several serious allegations back and forth, backed by several lawsuits. In a new interview with 60 Minutes Australia, a crew member from It Ends With Us spoke up for Justin Baldoni and shared her thoughts on Lively's allegations.

The almost 20-minute investigative piece from 60 Minutes Australia dives into whether Baldoni started a smear campaign against Lively after working together on the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2016 bestselling novel It Ends With Us. It Ends with Us...

After a declining career due to a contentious legal battle,Johnny Depp is making a significant stride back into mainstream Hollywood. While Depp has appeared in several films, and even been at the helm of one, following his highly publicized 2022 trial against ex-wife Amber Heard, the upcoming action thriller Day Drinker marks his first with a major distributor. Depp is set to star alongside Madelyn Cline andPenélope Cruz in the Lionsgate action thriller.

Production of Day Drinker is currently underway in Spain, with Marc Webb who encounters a mysterious onboard guest (Depp). Their lives soon become entangled with a criminal figure (Cruz) and connected in unexpected ways. This marks the fourth collaboration between Depp and Cruz following 2001's Blow, 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and 2017's Murder on the Orient Express. Day Drinker also features Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto and Anika Boyle. The screenplay is penned by Zach Dean,...

Lionsgate has started production on “Day Drinker,” sharing a first-look image at Johnny Depp as he makes his return to Hollywood following high-profile legal battles with ex-wife Amber Heard.

The film from “500 Days of Summer” and “Snow White” director Marc Webb re-teams Depp and Penélope Cruz for a fourth time after previous collaborations on “Blow,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “Murder on the Orient Express.” Madelyn Cline also stars in the film. Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto and Anika Boyle round out the cast.

“Day Drinker” tells the story of a private-yacht bartender (Cline) who encounters a mysterious, onboard guest (Depp). They soon find themselves entangled with a criminal figure (Cruz) and connected in ways no one saw coming.

The film, which begins production in Spain, is produced by Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, who produce the “John Wick” franchise for Lionsgate; Adam Kolbrenner,...

It may not be “Pirates of the Caribbean,” but Johnny Depp is back with a big studio feature thanks to Marc Webb’s Lionsgate action thriller “Day Drinker.” More than a decade after starring in “The Rum Diary” opposite his now ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp returns to a booze-soaked title that doubles as a reunion with his longtime collaborator Penélope Cruz. The duo famously co-starred in “Blow,” as well as “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “Murder on the Orient Express.”

“Day Drinker” centers on private-yacht bartender (Madelyn Cline) who encounters a mysterious, onboard guest (Depp). They soon find themselves entangled with a criminal figure (Cruz) and connected in ways no one saw coming.

Additionally, the studio announced that Manu Rios, Aron Piper, Juan Diego Botto and Anika Boyle have joined Penélope Cruz in the thriller pic from director Marc Webb now shooting in Spain.

Madelyn Cline also stars in the film, which marks a potential Hollywood comeback for Depp after controversies surrounding his messy divorce from actress Amber Heard and a U.K. court ruling that resulted in Warner Bros. axing him from the Fantastic Beasts franchise in 2020.

In recent years, Depp has appeared in films such as French period drama Jeanne du Barry and directed Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness. But unlike Day Drinker, they were not commercial plays and were made with European backing.

Rios and Piper recently starred together in Netflix’s Elite series,...

Aside from her recent legal troubles, Blake Lively used to be a fan favorite for years, and it’s easy to see why. The actress has been in the industry for several years now, and her acting chops make every role of hers extra special. Many fans came across her acting chops for the very first time when she played Serena van der Woodsen in Gossip Girl. After this hit show, her career trajectory has definitely gone beyond the Upper East Side.

Lively has dabbled in a variety of genres, whether it be romantic, comedic, or a full-blown action thriller, perfectly proving that she’s more than just a fashion icon. While the recent Justin Baldoni legal drama has presented her in a more negative light, fans cannot deny the fact that she does have some critically acclaimed movies to her name.

Streamer Rachell Hofstetter, better known as Valkyrae, said a scene featuring her was cut from the newly released A Minecraft Movie six months after she spoke out against the film’s star, Jason Momoa.

“I would much rather not have that 30 seconds than be sued, so it’s all good,” Hostetter said in one of her recent Twitch streams. “It was a wonderful 10 days in New Zealand for that 30 seconds, and I’m happy that I got to visit it; I feel like things could’ve been much worse.”

This isn’t the first time Momoa has faced problems on set. In October 2023, notes obtained by Variety described a hostile work environment on the set of Aquaman, where an allegedly intoxicated Momoa performed stunts in an attempt to bully actress Amber Heard amid the legal battle with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.

In September 2024, Hofstetter accused Momoa of creating a poor...

Who doesn’t love a character that will threaten to cleave your head from your body with their mighty sword? The old Hercules films starring Steve Reeves up to the Conan films of the 80s showed that audiences were ready to head back to a mystical world. After the success of the Schwarzenegger Conan films, film mogul Dino de Laurentiis saw an opportunity to make a female-led film of the same genre. Red Sonja was released in 1985 and ultimately was a box office flop. Those of us who saw it as kids still loved it and put it alongside the Conan films as a trilogy. It has since gained a cult following. Ever since then, another Red Sonja film has been in the works in some form or another and has yet to be made. This fall, we will finally see the red-haired warrior grace the big screen again,...

More than two decades ago, Tom Cruise portrayed a role that will immediately make you think of Andrew Tate—yes, the misogynist influencer who recently got into another controversy after allegedly pointing a gun at a woman’s face.

So, the veteran Hollywood star played the supporting role of Frank T.J. Mackey in 1999’s Magnolia, a classic movie helmed by none other than Paul Thomas Anderson. His speech, which reeked of toxic masculinity and misogyny, was a scene that earned him a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Academy Awards.

Sony’s It Ends With Us adapted Colleen Hoover’s powerful story about domestic violence and a resilient woman, but drama between stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni behind the scenes and afterwards has lingered beyond the film’s release in theaters. Arriving to the big screen last August and later heading to streaming on Netflix in December 2024, the Justin-Baldoni-directed film drew many moviegoers, though some didn’t realize what the story was fully about.

Tensions mainly lie between the film’s costars — Lively, who portrays main character Lily Bloom, and Baldoni, who also stars as Ryle, the abusive husband of Lily, in addition to directing the film with a script from Christy Hall. During press for the film, it became clear that Baldoni and Lively were maintaining distance from each other, and even on the red carpet at the New York premiere, they didn’t take photos together.

In a patriarchal society, women always seem to be the scapegoat for every problem. This is frequently seen in the media, where female stars are portrayed in a very different light compared to males, having different expectations and standards set by fans. Rachel Zegler has become the latest victim of this system, being villainized for simply being a complex woman.

In the amount of debate that surrounds her character, her feelings seem to get lost in the mix because of her gender. Amid so much controversy surrounding her name, the fact that acted as a catalyst for the media to show its true colors has been her casting as Snow White and her comments surrounding the original story.

In a change of events, the actress recently spoke very positively of the original story, making fans look for cracks in her alleged facade.

Rachel Zegler has become the latest actress to be thrown under the proverbial bus, serving as a convenient scapegoat for Disney’s struggling live-action movie, “Snow White.” Rather than taking accountability for a poorly marketed film with lackluster early reviews and a bloated budget, the studio — and the media machine working in tandem with it — has allowed a targeted smear campaign to unfold against Zegler, echoing past attempts to destroy the careers of actresses like Melissa Barrera and Amber Heard.

The making of a scapegoat

The backlash against Zegler has been years in the making, following a cycle that Hollywood has seen before. Her rise to fame was meteoric — going from a high school student who responded to a Twitter casting call to leading Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story.” But the moment she was cast as Snow White, she became the subject of intense scrutiny. The so-called “controversy” surrounding her casting,...

Even before Blake Lively filed her sexual harassment and retaliation complaint with California’s Civil Rights department on December 20 last year, Justin Baldoni alleges that Ryan Reynolds had a major role in his spouse and Baldoni’s blood feud over what really happened during the making of It Ends With Us and ahead of the film’s summer 2024 release.

Now, in an April Fool’s Day opposition filing, Iewu director Baldoni, his Wayfarer Studios, exec and publicists are determined to block the Deadpool star’s desire to be dismissed from the $400 million and counting defamation and extortion case against Lively, Reynolds, publicist Leslie Sloane and the New York Times. “Reynolds and Lively exploited Lively’s false insinuations to coerce the Wayfarer Parties to cede to them power and authority to which they were not entitled,” a memorandum of law from Team Baldoni states of what allegedly went down.

Elon Musk has taken a lot of heat for his business and political decisions (from buying Twitter to supporting President Donald Trump to performing a Nazi-like salute at the inauguration), but his love life has also led to much interest.

Before he was cozying up to Trump, Elon was cozying up to alternative singer Grimes. The former couple have three children, and their relationship has had quite a few twists and turns, but they seem to be done for good.

Elon’s three marriages and other relationships have made headlines. Musk also has a large brood of children, and he’s been open about why he’s decided to father many kids.

Johnny Depp As Jack Sparrow(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Johnny Depp didn’t just play Captain Jack Sparrow; he became him. The eyeliner, the slurred one-liners, the impossible escapes? All him. For nearly two decades, he was the heart of Pirates of the Caribbean. But when Disney cut him loose, he never got the chance to sail Jack Sparrow into the sunset the way he envisioned.

Turns out, Depp wasn’t just ready to play Jack Sparrow one last time. He wanted to write his farewell. During his 2022 defamation trial, he spilled the details. Per Screen Rant, which cited CBS News‘ livestream of the court proceedings, he said:

“I didn’t quite understand how after that long relationship and quite a successful relationship, certainly for Disney, that suddenly I was guilty until proven innocent… I, in fact, had been approached to take part in writing Pirates 6… my feeling was that these...

The proliferation of online gambling has led to the wagerification of not just sports, but films, television, and politics. Since the sale of the James Bond franchise to Amazon MGM, gambling sites have put up live odds for actors that are likely to get cast as the villain in the new film. The frontrunners seem to be Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz, but Johnny Depp and Jenna Ortega aren’t far behind.

Per Gambling.com, Farrell has become an 11/8 favorite (+138 odds or a perceived 42% probability of landing the role) to become the next antagonist to face off against 007 in Amazon MGM’s first foray into the franchise. The speculation around Farrell comes from his connection to new Bond producer David Heyman, who has previously worked with the actor on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them– where Farell appeared as Percival Graves, who was really the evil magician Grindelwald in disguise.

Johnny Depp is currently one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. While the entire Amber Heard trial did hamper his career in a number of ways, he still holds a great fan following. With box office hits like the Pirates of the Caribbean movie series and Edward Scissorhands, he has truly established himself as a bankable actor.

But long before he played the eccentric Captain Jack Sparrow, he was a teen heartthrob who ruled television in the late ’80s.

For months, the internet has been following the legal battle between It Ends With Us co-stars Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively. As expected, this will now become a new documentary in the UK.

The two starred in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's 2016 novel of the same name, which Baldoni's Wayfarer Studios auctioned in 2019. He also directed the film. Amid several ongoing lawsuits with different parties, the It Ends With Us battle will become the subject of Discovery+'s true crime docuseries in the UK, per Deadline.

Their legal battle will be part of Discovery+'s "Vs" series, and its working title is Baldoni vs Lively: A Hollywood Feud. This is for a UK release, and there's no information yet available about a U.S. release. It follows other Discovery+ docuseries like the two-part 2023 documentary series Johnny Vs Amber: The U.S. Trial, which covered the 2022 defamation trial between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard,...

Warner Bros. Discovery is moving forward with another documentary about Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, TheWrap has learned. “Baldoni vs Lively: A Hollywood Feud” — the working title of the upcoming project — will be the latest installment of Discovery+’s “Vs” franchise. The project is expected to premiere in June in the U.K. and Ireland. There is no news yet on if or when its U.S. premiere will happen.

The special out of Warner Bros. U.K. and Ireland promises to be a deep dive into the case ahead of its trial date, which has been set for March of 2026. The streamer previously released similar documentaries about Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, as well as Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney. It’s one project of over 50 hours of new and returning series Warner Bros. U.K. and Ireland announced for 2025. Other announced projects include “Rubiales vs Hermoso: The World Cup Kiss,...

Discovery+ is set to release two documentary series in June and July examining recent high-stakes disputes that captured global attention: the legal clash between actor Blake Lively and director Justin Baldoni, and the fallout from Spanish soccer official Luis Rubiales’ unsolicited kiss of player Jenni Hermoso. Both projects, produced by Optomen, form part of Warner Bros. Discovery’s 50-hour UK programming slate announced this week.

Baldoni vs Lively: A Hollywood Feud, premiering in June, will dissect the ongoing legal battle between the It Ends With Us co-stars. Lively filed a complaint last year alleging Baldoni engaged in sexual misconduct during filming and orchestrated a smear campaign to silence her.

Baldoni has denied the claims and countersued for $400 million, accusing Lively of defamation. The series promises a detailed account of events leading to their impending court cases, mirroring the platform’s prior documentaries on celebrity conflicts like Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard.

Discovery+’s latest UK true crime series will examine the Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni feud that has dominated headlines so far this year.

Horror maestro John Carpenter hasn't directed in a movie in a decade and a half, but he doesn't consider himself retired. While he still feels great love for filmmaking, he's found himself unwilling to get back on a set again if he has to worry about the budget.

Carpenter discussed his career in a new interview with Variety, coinciding with how the famous filmmaker is getting his name added to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He confirmed that he still has no active plans at this time to get back into the director's chair, but clarified that he's still willing to do so once again, albeit under the "right circumstances." Perhaps that means the 77-year-old director isn't through just yet, so as long as it's comfortably funded and stress-free.

"Plans? I don’t know," Carpenter said of his filmmaking future. "I would love to direct again, given the right circumstances.

Did Robert Downey Jr. Want Johnny Depp To Star In Sherlock Holmes?(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Robert Downey Jr. had a crazy idea for Sherlock Holmes 3—he wanted Johnny Depp to star in the sequel. But Hollywood had other plans. At the time, Depp was caught in a high-profile legal battle with ex-wife Amber Heard. He claimed the controversy cost him a massive payday for Pirates of the Caribbean 6.

Downey, a longtime friend, reportedly wanted to help by bringing Depp into the Sherlock Holmes universe (via Cheat Sheet). A heartwarming gesture, sure, but also an impossible one. First, Warner Bros. had already distanced itself from Depp. The studio controlled the Sherlock Holmes films and had recently removed Depp from Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. Given that decision, adding him to another major franchise seemed unlikely.

Then, there was the problem of Sherlock Holmes 3 itself. The sequel had been stuck in limbo for years.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ lawsuits against Justin Baldoni seem to be backfiring on them. Despite their ‘evidence’ and ‘claims,’ fans have been siding with Baldoni, not just because of the evidence the It Ends With Us director has collected, but also because of the alleged problematic actions of the couple that have nothing to do with Baldoni.

From their recent Saturday Night Live appearance to their past actions, fans have been unearthing anything problematic about the couple, drawing renewed backlash. Recently, it is Lively’s ‘child protection’ speech and their decision to let their daughter say vulgar lines for Deadpool 3 that has sparked a fresh round of criticism for them.

Hollywood is full of stories about near misses and last-minute switches, and roles that could have gone to someone else, altering their careers forever.

But only a few such accounts are as problematic as the one that Corey Feldman revealed, involving him, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Johnny Depp.

This isn’t just a ‘what-if’ scenario but a story about second chances, bitter rivalries, and how industry whispers affect people. So what exactly did Feldman spill, and what does it say about the power dynamics of 90s Hollywood?

Corey Feldman is best known for The Goonies and Stand By Me, and the actor dropped a bombshell on The Magnificent Others podcast hosted by Billy Corgan. Feldman claimed that he was originally cast as Arnie Grape in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape,...

Paige has always been a name that has ushered in a new era in the history of women’s wrestling. The arrival of Paige alongside Aj Lee somewhat paved the path for a madness gimmick, a role that has been portrayed by very few individuals across the history of WWE. Also, the brutality that Paige could inflict upon her counterparts in the form of a street brawl was a new way in women’s pro wrestling.

Saraya Jade-Bevis, aka Paige, started her wrestling career in the independent circuit. In 2011, she signed with WWE Nxt, establishing herself as a reckoning force. She also went on to win the Nxt Championship before finally making her WWE main roster debut in 2014, the night after WrestleMania.

Her rivalry with Aj Lee was simply sensational, while her brief battles with Charlotte Flair were a testimony to her in-ring flair.

Roe Jogan (podcast listeners will get the joke) is known to have an opinion on pretty much every trending topic recently. And it seems that the Lively-Baldoni feud is not the exception.

A bitter legal fight between actress Blake Lively and actor-director Justin Baldoni has taken Hollywood by storm, and podcast host Joe Rogan has jumped into the fray, siding with Baldoni. The dispute stems from their work together on the film It Ends With Us, a story about a woman caught in a violent marriage.

Lively claims Baldoni sexually harassed her on set and later tried to ruin her reputation. Baldoni fired back, accusing Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of defamation and extortion, with lawsuits now piling up on both sides.

The trouble started last December when Lively filed a complaint with California’s Civil Rights Department.

In this world, some mistakes feel like a slow train wreck—everyone sees it coming, but you can’t look away. And just like that, Blake Lively finds herself caught in the snare of a legal battle with Justin Baldoni, a defamation lawsuit with more layers than a wedding cake.

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Actions speak louder than words,” but in this case, it seems like what’s missing speaks just as loudly. Lively has found herself in the crosshairs of a defamation suit brought by actor and director Justin Baldoni.

The allegations center on s*xual harassment claims, which Lively’s team argues should be protected by civil rights law—after all, you can’t retaliate against someone for filing such a claim, right?

Joe Rogan loves to be known for straight talk, and the podcast kingpin certainly stripped down his take on Blake Lively’s accusations of sexual harassment and an online smear campaign by Justin Baldoni to very simple three words this weekend.

“They f*cked up.”

Putting himself firmly in Baldoni’s corner, the long time UFC commentator unleashed on the multiple lawsuits that has held Hollywood and the nation’s attention through thick, thin and Trump 2.0 since the Another Simple Favor star filed a complaint on December 20 with California’s Civil Rights department against her It Ends With Us co-star/director. Talking with ex-professional mixed martial artist Brendan Schaub on a March 22 edition of the Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan proclaimed ‘the whole thing is crazy.”

Crazy or not, or crazy in a whole other way, Lively and Baldoni’s suits against each other are set to go to trial starting March 9, 2026. As various parties,...

A reboot of Red Sonja spent nearly fifteen years in development hell before going into production in 2022 with director M.J. Bassett (Solomon Kane) at the helm. Before Bassett signed on, the project had passed through the hands of directors Robert Rodriguez, Simon West, Bryan Singer, and Joey Soloway, with Hannah John-Kamen, Rose McGowan, and Amber Heard being considered for the lead role. Matilda Lutz ended up starring in the film, and while we still don’t know when we’ll get to see her version of the title character in action, the long-delayed movie has taken a step forward, earning its rating from the Motion Picture Association ratings board! The Red Sonja reboot is officially rated R for strong/bloody violence.

Bassett directed the film from a screenplay by Joey Soloway (Transparent) and Tasha Huo (Netflix’s Tomb Raider anime). This version of Red Sonja is derived from the sword...

The official synopsis for The Roses reads: “Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids.

Tony McNamara (Poor Things) wrote the script. We may see the first trailer dropped during CinemaCon next week.

Love, they say, is a battlefield, and sometimes, the scars it leaves are more than just emotional. It’s hard to separate the person from the public image, especially when that image is crafted by media and gossip columns. Amber Heard has found herself at the center of many headlines over the years, not only due to her tumultuous marriage with Johnny Depp but also due to the shadows of her past relationships.

From the accusations of domestic violence by Depp to the alleged altercation with her ex-girlfriend, Tasya van Ree, Heard’s love life has always been under the microscope. But what really went down before the Depp saga began? Was the Aquaman actress, 38, truly the abuser, or have we been fed a tale spun with too much drama?

The actor was not one of the original child actors and made his debut later in the series, appearing briefly in 2010's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1.
