The second season of FX’s ‘Adults’ premiered on August 27.

The original ‘Days of Thunder’ film, which was released in June 1990, featured Tom Cruise and his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman.

Melissa Barrera has compared the reaction to Macklemore being dropped from Ed Sheeran’s tour for taking a pro-Palestinian stance to her own firing from Scream 7. “It made me emotional, you know,” Barrera, 36, told The Associated Press in an interview on Wednesday, September 16. “I didn’t get that when it happened to me. I didn’t have any of that happen. It was too soon. People were too scared. But it’s good to see that almost three years later, at least things have changed.” Barrera was reportedly dismissed from the cast from Scream 7 in 2023 for taking a vocal pro-Palestinian stance in the wake of the October 7 terror attacks and subsequent Israeli military operation in Gaza. (She “condemn[ed] anti-semitism and Islamophobia” in a statement issued at the time.) Scream’s production company Spyglass denied that Barrera’s support for Palestinians was behind her departure from the franchise, though a statement from the organization said it had “zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech.” Ed Sheeran’s Tour Ticket Prices Drop, More Seats Available Amid Controversy In May,…

Elizabeth Banks just quietly stole the fall color memo, and no, it wasn’t chocolate brown. The actress stepped out in a head-to-toe burgundy moment, wearing a rich, wine-colored sweater tucked into a leather midi skirt in the same deep, moody hue. Burgundy is the luxe-looking fall color that feels like a neutral, but with a twist, and Banks just gave us the real-world blueprint for how to actually wear it. Skip the safe neutrals for a second. This shade does everything camel does, but with more attitude and a little more polish. You don’t need a stylist or a designer budget to copy this. We found a similar mockneck sweater on Amazon for under $25! See it! Get the Auselily Mock Turtleneck for $23 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change. What makes Banks’ look feel so expensive isn’t the pieces themselves. It’s the tonal styling.

The mockneck silhouette on the Auselily Mock Turtleneck is…

Ed Sheeran returned to the stage Saturday night and addressed the fallout stemming from Macklemore’s removal from his Loop Tour after the rapper made pro-Palestinian comments during the Sept. 4 and 5 shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Sheeran took the stage alone at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday night after all of the tour’s supporting acts withdrew in solidarity with Macklemore. The rapper was removed from the U.S. leg after several stadium owners notified tour promoter Messina Touring Group that they would not allow concerts with Macklemore on the lineup, according to the promoter. Speaking to the crowd, Sheeran said he had never wanted to be an activist musician but felt compelled to address the controversy, including questions about his views on the Israel-Palestine conflict and concerns over venues pre-approving the content of artists’ performances. “Before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week,” Sheeran said at the start the show. “I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always happy to take that because I’m lucky. A lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest, I’m surprised. I’m not surprised that…

KJ was arrested last month after being accused of sexual assault in an alleged incident back in April.

Ed Sheeran’s Loop Tour looked very different from what fans may have expected when the singer-songwriter took to the stage in Philadelphia. On Saturday, September 19, multiple fan accounts revealed the staging for that night’s gig at Lincoln Financial Field would not include a B-stage. Sheeran, 35, has traditionally performed fan requests on this secondary stage during a portion of his Loop Tour concerts. (No song requests were taken in Philadelphia, as of publication.) It has unquestionably been a tumultuous week for Sheeran in the wake of the controversy over Macklemore being dropped as a Loop Tour support act. Ms. Rachel Vows to Match Macklemore’s $1M Donation to Palestinian Charity The “Same Love” rapper, 43, ignited controversy while opening for Sheeran at two concerts at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey earlier this month when he declared “Free Palestine” during a performance of his protest track “Hind’s Hall.” Sheeran allegedly faced pressure from tour promoters and venue owners — including Gillette Stadium owner Robert Kraft — over allowing Macklemore to continue performing at upcoming shows. Macklemore was ultimately dismissed as one of Sheeran’s openers on Monday, September 14. “Ed Sheeran and his team have made the decision to remove me from…

“All that she ever wanted was to have her story told her way, on her terms,” the ‘Orange Is the New Black’ star said of the ‘Heroes’ actress.

The rest of Sheeran’s opening acts dropped out of his US Loop Tour following Macklemore’s firing over his “Free Palestine” speech.

Chris Harrison, who is starting a new chapter with ‘The Vow,’ couldn’t help but throw a little shade at his former employer during the promo.

Ed Sheeran returned to his Loop Tour after opening act Macklemore was dropped from the lineup for making pro-Palestinian remarks onstage. “Before I play some songs tonight, I hope it’s okay if I say a few words about this last week,” Sheeran, 35, told fans during the Saturday, September 19, concert at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, per widely-circulated videos via social media. “I’m used to my music being criticized, and I’m always happy to take that because I’m lucky. A lot of you like my stuff, and to be honest, I’m surprised. I’m not surprised that I’ve even done it. You know, it’s normal.” He went on to say, “This week, the criticism was about something much more important, and I’ve had to take [it in] and make difficult decisions, and I am making mistakes, and I’m so so sorry.” The singer-songwriter explained that he never wanted to “disappoint fans,” adding that he never intended to “be an activist.” Finneas and More Acts Exit Ed Sheeran’s Tour After Macklemore Is Dropped “This has put me in the middle of an important, passionate argument about freedom of speech on the most complex issue on the planet,” Sheeran noted. “[My…
