Tyler Perry says marriage is not in his future. On “The Jennifer Hudson Show,” he said it’s not marriage itself that concerns him—it’s divorce, which he says he has seen leave people financially devastated. Perry also cited getting older and wanting to slow down, spend more time with his 11-year-old son and enjoy life. He joked that watching his own marriage-themed movies may have scared him away from tying the knot.

Netflix has released the trailer for Tyson, a four-part docuseries in which Mike Tyson looks back at his turbulent life and legendary boxing career. Tyson discusses his difficult childhood, his years at the center of controversy and his return to the ring for his 2024 fight with Jake Paul. In the trailer, Tyson says he was once “addicted to chaos,” while his children describe a man who, beneath the fame and headlines, was trying to become a good father. Tyson premieres October 13 on Netflix.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says she won’t listen to Ed Sheeran amid the controversy surrounding Macklemore’s removal from Sheeran’s tour. Ocasio-Cortez told TMZ that she sees Sheeran as more of a participant in a larger dispute involving billionaire Robert Kraft and other stadium owners, whom she accuses of using their financial influence to silence Macklemore over his pro-Palestinian views. Ocasio-Cortez said she believes the issue goes beyond Gaza, arguing that powerful people using money to suppress dissent could eventually affect other controversial viewpoints. She also said she understands Sheeran’s position but believes he should publicly speak out. The controversy has already affected Sheeran’s tour, with Finneas and opening act Aaron Rowe pulling out. Sheeran has said the decision to remove Macklemore wasn’t his call, but critics have argued that he should have taken a public stand.

Jessica Chastain is joining Netflix’s new drama series The Retrievals, alongside previously announced stars Emilia Jones and Amy Ryan. The series comes from Molly Smith Metzler, the creator of Maid and Sirens, and is inspired by the Peabody Award-winning New York Times podcast. Chastain will play Kaitlyn Langford, a former art historian who has spent years undergoing unsuccessful fertility treatments. She discovers she was among the patients at Yale Fertility Center who underwent egg-retrieval surgery without anesthesia after a nurse stole fentanyl and diluted it with saline. Her character becomes a key plaintiff in the resulting lawsuit against Yale. Amy Ryan plays the nurse who pleads guilty, while Emilia Jones plays another affected patient. The series will be produced by LuckyChap, with Margot Robbie among the executive producers.

Paramount could be preparing to move its studio operations out of California, according to sources cited by TMZ. Officials in the Los Angeles mayor’s office and California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office were reportedly told an announcement was coming Tuesday, but it never happened. It’s unclear whether the plan was delayed or circumstances changed. The potential move comes as Bonta and 11 other state attorneys general pursue an antitrust lawsuit seeking to block Paramount’s proposed merger with Warner Bros. Paramount CEO David Ellison has previously threatened to move the studio to Texas, Tennessee or Georgia if California doesn’t settle the case. Settlement talks have been ongoing for months without an agreement, with October 1 reportedly set as a deadline before Paramount considers leaving California.

Kim Kardashian has been awarded one euro in compensation by a Paris court, nearly 10 years after she was robbed at gunpoint during a 2016 stay in the French capital. Kardashian lost an estimated $10 million in jewelry, including a $4 million engagement ring that was never recovered. She said the robbery was deeply traumatic and that the court’s decision was about accountability and recognition, rather than the money. The one-euro award was the amount Kardashian requested. Her stylist, Simone Harouche, also received one euro, while a hotel receptionist was awarded more than 109,000 euros.

Netflix has released the trailer for “Animals,” a new crime thriller starring Ben Affleck and Kerry Washington. Affleck plays a Los Angeles mayoral candidate whose world falls apart when his son is kidnapped and he and his wife are forced to come up with a ransom. The trailer suggests saving their son could require the couple to make some very compromising—and potentially incriminating—decisions. The kidnapping also threatens to derail Affleck’s political ambitions, while Gillian Anderson appears to have a mysterious role in the escalating mess. Affleck directed the movie, marking his first time back in the director’s chair since 2023’s “Air.” “Animals” hits select theaters and Netflix October 9th.

Tom Cruise is confirming what Hollywood has apparently been whispering about for years: he’s intense—and he knows it. In a new GQ interview, Cruise said he works extremely hard, expects a lot from the people around him, and makes those expectations clear before they start working together. Cruise says he’s been called intense since he was a kid, but he embraces it. When he gets interested in something, he wants to learn everything about it and “blast through the confusion” until he understands it. He also says he prefers talking face-to-face rather than getting long emails, telling collaborators, essentially, skip the novel and come talk to him. Cruise also remains a big believer in the theatrical movie experience because of the communal feeling of audiences watching a film together.

Helen Mirren says she avoids doctors and has found a new source for health advice: AI. The star says she's basically the opposite of a hypochondriac and tends to ignore health problems rather than obsess over them. When a co-star joked he'd love to have a doctor living in his house, Mirren had the answer: “You do. It’s called AI.” She says she asks AI about aches and pains and finds it “amazing.” Despite skipping trips to the doctor, Mirren says she stays healthy by watching her diet and exercising. She's also been doing a 12-minute Canadian Air Force exercise routine for roughly 60 years. So apparently her health plan is fish and chips, push-ups and asking a computer, “Should I be worried about this?”

Tom Holland is officially sitting at the top of the Hollywood box office food chain. The actor has reportedly become the highest-grossing actor in history after a monster summer starring in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has pulled in a staggering $2.45 billion worldwide, while The Odyssey has added another $1.68 billion. Those numbers have pushed Holland's career box office total to $15.5 billion, narrowly passing Zoe Saldana and Scarlett Johansson. And Holland isn't just making studios rich. Reports say he could personally make at least $100 million from Spider-Man: Brand New Day, thanks to a $20 million upfront salary and a massive backend deal. Not bad for a guy who started his Marvel career making $250,000 in Captain America: Civil War. Apparently, with great power comes great paychecks.

Whatever spell conjured by the witchy Owens sisters, played onscreen by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman in two “Practical Magic” movies, wasn’t powerful enough to lure audiences to theaters.

Despite a first-place finish, “Practical Magic 2” disappointed in its box office debut with $30 million from 4,146 North American theaters, arriving on the lower end of expectations. Overseas, the Warner Bros. fantasy sequel collected a dismal $16 million from 77 markets for a global weekend tally of $46 million.

What’s concerning is, when adjusting for inflation, initial domestic ticket sales for the follow-up are similar to 1998’s “Practical Magic,” a box office flop turned eventual cult favorite. The original movie, revolving around sisters who fight off a curse that kills the men they fall in love with, launched to $13 million, which is roughly $27 million in today’s dollars. Since the sequel carries a substantial $75 million price tag (not including the tens of millions on global marketing efforts), Warner Bros. is banking on nostalgia and the star power of Kidman and Bullock to help “Practical Magic 2” rebound in the coming weeks.

Despite a lackluster start, “Practical Magic 2” gets bragging rights for opening at No. 1 and ending the six-weekend reign of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” And the “Practical Magic” sequel launched ahead of several fellow newcomers, including “Runner,” an action comedy from Angel Studios and “The Uprising,” a period drama starring Andrew Garfield. Overall, this weekend is down significantly (about 43%, according to Rentrak) from the same frame in 2025 when Sony and Crunchyroll’s “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle” surprised with a massive $70.6 million debut.

“This is shaping up to be a solid, if somewhat subdued, early-fall weekend,” says Paul Dergarabedian, Rentrak’s head of marketplace trends. “This weekend is less about one movie dominating the conversation and more about several films contributing to the overall marketplace.”

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” slid to No. 2 with $8.6 million in its seventh weekend of release. So far, Sony’s comic book sequel has generated a staggering $935 million in North America and $2.4 billion globally. By Monday, it’ll be the highest-grossing movie in domestic box office history, supplanting the record held by 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” with $936 million, not adjusted for inflation.

In third place, “The Odyssey” raked in $8.1 million from 1,983 theaters and brought domestic ticket sales to $601 million after nine weekends on the big screen. Christopher Nolan’s star-studded blockbuster has been on an epic box office run and now ranks as Universal’s highest grossing release with $1.68 billion worldwide. The previous benchmark holder was 2015’s “Jurassic World” with $1.67 billion globally.

“Coyote vs. Acme” landed in fourth place with $6.3 million from 3,355 venues in its third weekend, a 47% decline from its prior outing. The “Looney Tunes” spinoff has been a hit with $47.8 million domestically to date. Indie distributor Ketchup Entertainment nabbed the well-reviewed “Coyote vs. Acme” after Warner Bros. shelved the completed film as a $30 million tax write-off.

“Runner” rounded out the top five with a lackluster $6 million from 2,568 venues in its first weekend of release. Although reviews were tepid, audiences awarded the movie a solid “A-” grade on CinemaScore exit polls. “Runner” follows a former Navy SEAL on a journey to deliver a life-saving medicine to a sick child while running from the cartel.

At No. 8, “The Uprising” misfired with $3.25 million from 2,068 theaters in its debut. Paul Greengrass (“Bourne” franchise, “United 93”) directed the movie, which stars Garfield as a rebellion leader who inspired the legend of Robin Hood. “The Uprising” earned a “B-” grade on CinemaScore, which doesn’t bode well for box office longevity. Focus Features, which is distributing the movie, acquired North American rights for $12 million.

In limited release, Neon’s South Korean sci-fi action thriller “Hope” debuted at No. 7 with $3.3 million from 1,560 locations over the weekend. The genre-bending film has earned $5 million in the U.S. since Wednesday. “Hope” is already one of South Korea’s highest-grossing releases of the year with $36.2 million since mid July. Directed by Na Hong-jin, “Hope” takes place in an isolated coastal town in South Korea as a mysterious creature begins terrorizing residents.

Another newcomer, Disney’s music documentary “Oasis: Don’t Look Back in Anger,” failed to crack the top 10, launching in 11th place with $1.5 million from 1,225 screens. The movie also earned $6.8 million overseas for a worldwide start of $8.2 million. The concert film follows Liam and Noel Gallagher of the legendary British band Oasis as they reunite for the first time since 2009. Along with behind-the-scenes footage from their hugely successful world tour, “Don’t Look Back in Anger” boasts the first joint interview in two decades with the brothers, who famously don’t get along. Reception has been rapturous for the “Oasis” doc, which bowed last week at the Venice Film Festival.

Gary Oldman says HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV series could be more satisfying for fans than the original movies because it will have far more time to include details from the books. Oldman, who played Sirius Black in the film franchise, said the movies had to cut major character moments and storylines to keep their running times manageable. He believes the new series will be able to follow the books much more closely and give fans the depth the films couldn't fit in. The new Harry Potter series is scheduled to debut around Christmas 2026 on HBO and HBO Max with an entirely new cast.

Judge Judy Sheindlin is preparing to step away from the courtroom spotlight as Judy Justice wraps up next month. Judy says she's content with what she's accomplished and is ready to move on from the daily hair and makeup routine—but she still wants her message heard. Her next move is producing Adam's Law, a small-claims court show starring her son, Adam Levy, who she says is finally ready to carry the family gavel. Levy has experience as a lawyer, former district attorney and TV judge, and Adam's Law is set to debut today.

Aaron Rodgers is airing out some seriously personal relationship drama. During a new podcast interview, the quarterback made claims about both ex-fiancée Shailene Woodley and former girlfriend Danica Patrick. Rodgers claimed Woodley told him shortly after he proposed that she wanted to sleep with another man before they got married. He insisted their relationship was essentially over by early 2022 and pushed back against Woodley's previous description of their split as traumatic. Rodgers also took shots at Danica Patrick, claiming she was depressed during their relationship and that the couple had intimacy issues. Patrick previously described her relationship with Rodgers as emotionally abusive and said it left her feeling worn down. Rodgers, now married to a woman named Brittani, says he's tired of his exes telling their versions of what happened.

Alec Baldwin is opening up about one of the darkest chapters of his life in a new documentary, The Trial of Alec Baldwin, which takes viewers behind the scenes of the legal battle following the fatal 2021 shooting on the set of Rust. In the newly released trailer, Baldwin becomes emotional as he recalls the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed when a prop revolver he was holding discharged during filming in New Mexico. Director Joel Souza was also injured. Baldwin has maintained that he never pulled the trigger and believed the gun contained no live ammunition. At one point, Baldwin admits he desperately wanted to be acquitted so he could simply walk away and have everyone "leave me alone." He also reflects on learning that Hutchins had died, saying he was in shock and that he would have done anything possible to bring her back. Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter charge was dismissed by a New Mexico judge in 2024 after prosecutors were found to have improperly handled evidence. Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, meanwhile, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months before being released early. The documentary also features Baldwin's wife, Hilaria, as the family deals with intense media attention and the emotional fallout from the case. Cameras reportedly followed Baldwin beginning in 2023 as the legal drama unfolded. And there's an interesting connection involving the president: the documentary is directed by Rory Kennedy, the sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who serves as President Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services. Baldwin, of course, is also famous for portraying President Trump on Saturday Night Live. The Trial of Alec Baldwin hits theaters October 1 and promises to show Baldwin, in his own words, at what he calls some of the worst moments of his life.

Hawaii Five-O is reportedly getting the big-screen treatment. Paramount Pictures is putting together a new Hawaii Five-O movie, with red-hot director Destin Daniel Cretton set to develop and direct. Cretton recently directed Spider-Man: Brand New Day and previously helmed Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The script will reportedly be written by Chris Bremner, who worked on Bad Boys for Life, along with Noah Oppenheim. The project is being developed with the estate of original Hawaii Five-O creator Leonard Freeman. The original series ran on CBS from 1968 to 1980 and starred Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett, the tough Hawaii lawman who led an elite state police task force. The show became famous for its unforgettable theme song, spectacular Hawaiian scenery and, of course, McGarrett's signature line: "Book 'em, Danno!"

Jacob Elordi's latest movie is taking a serious beating at the box office. The actor stars in Ridley Scott's big-budget post-apocalyptic drama The Dog Stars, which reportedly cost more than $100 million to make but has struggled to find an audience since its August 27 release. The film opened to just $623,000 in Australia and has earned around $45 million worldwide so far. Critics haven't been kind either, with the movie debuting at just 38 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and receiving some downright brutal reviews. The disappointing performance comes after Elordi's recent string of hits, including Saltburn, Priscilla, Wuthering Heights and Euphoria. Naturally, some people online are blaming the so-called "Kardashian curse" following Elordi's romance with Kendall Jenner, which went public earlier this year. Of course, others have a simpler explanation: maybe it's not a curse... maybe people just didn't want to see the movie.

Landman is adding another big name for Season 3. Michael Kelly, known for Lioness and The Penguin, has joined the Paramount drama as a series regular. Kelly will play William Crockett, the leader of the world's largest oil management firm — a powerful industry titan who apparently walks into a room smelling like efficiency and expensive cologne. Details about the Season 3 storyline are still under wraps, but Kelly joins a cast led by Billy Bob Thornton, along with Demi Moore, Andy Garcia, Ali Larter and Sam Elliott. The Taylor Sheridan series is set in the high-stakes oil world of West Texas, where fortunes are made, secrets pile up, and apparently nobody gets to have a relaxing day at the office.
