Anton_Ivanov / Shutterstock.com The hunt for the next James Bond just got a lot more interesting,  and the guy leading the pack isn’t who anyone expected. Six actors are reportedly in contention for the role of 007 in Bond 26 (the next entry in the franchise, produced by Amazon MGM Studios), and they’re set to screen test for the part in early September. That’s according to Page Six, which broke the story on who made the final cut.

Andrew and Tristan Tate are facing a combined 59 criminal charges in the United Kingdom. And if the brothers are truly innocent, as they’ve insisted all along, the aliases on their fake passports tell a pretty different story. British prosecutors laid out the details in court documents tied to the brothers’ bond hearing in Florida. Turns out the Tates had stockpiled a whole collection of fake passports under different names.

The star of the recently canceled Wonder Man is raising questions about why the show got the axe — and he thinks the studio knows exactly what it looks like. Wonder Man launched on Disney+ in January 2026 to strong reviews from critics and fans alike.

Festival in Milton Keynes to watch the Fugees perform, and when their set got cut short, he didn’t hold back – comparing the moment to silencing Martin Luther King Jr. mid-speech.

mwood99 / Shutterstock.com Back in January, most people had never heard of Inde Navarrette. The 25-year-old actress was known, if at all, for a supporting part on The CW’s Superman & Lois. Fast forward to now, and she’s saying no to projects that would put her alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale. That’s the kind of year it’s been for Navarrette. Her breakout came from Curry Barker’s horror film Obsession, a movie that cost just $750,000 to make.

lev radin / Shutterstock.com Amazon MGM Studios just dropped the first trailer for Verity, and Colleen Hoover fans are already losing it online. The film adapts her bestselling psychological thriller of the same name, and it’s bringing some serious star power along with it — Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett all headline. Hathaway plays Verity Crawford, a wildly successful author who’s left incapacitated after an accident nobody can quite explain.

Hary Christian / Shutterstock.com DiJonai Carrington is pushing back on the idea that her “WHITE PRIVILEGE” post had anything to do with getting tossed from a game for hitting Sophie Cunningham in the head. The Chicago Sky forward’s comment has kept this story alive for nearly three weeks now. The whole thing started on August 8, when Carrington caught a Flagrant 2 foul and an ejection during Chicago’s matchup with the Indiana Fever.

Stefano Chiacchiarini '74 / Shutterstock.com Two of Disney’s biggest summer releases flopped hard at the box office. The company’s CEO doesn’t seem all that bothered. Both The Mandalorian & Grogu and the live-action remake of Moana landed with a thud this summer, and Josh D’Amaro admitted as much during Disney’s Q3 earnings call. He called them “disappointments” — which, for two franchises with massive built-in fanbases, is putting it mildly.

zimmytws / Shutterstock.com Bill Simmons just piled onto a growing list of people calling for Cathy Engelbert’s job. His reasoning was blunt: “nobody needs a commissioner more than the WNBA right now.” On his podcast, Simmons didn’t just criticize the WNBA commissioner — he predicted she won’t even make it to the 2027 season. That’s a bold claim, but Simmons laid out exactly why he thinks the league needs new leadership, and fast.
