【Title/标题】The 7 Most Anticipated Shows on Netflix in January【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：IndieWireWritten by/作者：Ben Travers【Background Music/背景音乐】Is It New Years Yet- Sabrina Carpenter【Transcript/文稿】New year, same ol’ Netflix — kind of. Things are always changing at the world’s most dominant streaming service, and aside from the obvious shifts in strategy — like, say, acquiring Warner Bros. — it can be hard to say exactly when an experiment becomes standard practice. So let’s take a look at Netflix’s January slate and see what it tells us about where the company stands heading into 2026 (outside of the whole WB thing).The biggest new release will be “Bridgerton” Season 4, which is once again being split into two parts that will premiere in separate months. Part 1 drops January 29, while Part 2 won’t be released until February 26. While less than a month apart, Netflix is still betting the space between each half-season will result in maintaining subscribers for an extra month while reducing subscriber churn overall. By now, the practice is old hat, but that doesn’t mean it’s a best practice. Another curious premiere arrives with “Star Search,” the new iteration of the old ’80s series, and one of Netflix’s first attempts at episodic appointment TV. Sure, the streamer has dabbled in event releases for a while now, but those are usually one-off stand-up specials or sporting events. With “Star Search,” new episodes will be released every Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 p.m., and subscribers will be encouraged to tune in at that specific time (rather than waiting to binge) so they can participate in the live voting that helps choose each winner. “For the first time ever, viewers can participate in real time,” states Tudum. If it works, it certainly won’t be the last time, and we may see more appointment viewing on Netflix (home of the binge!) throughout the year.Then there’s Netflix’s acquired shows, which in January include two former TNT dramas: “Falling Skies” and “Southland.” Netflix has licensed plenty of series that first aired (or streamed) on other networks. It’s been standard practice since the beginning. But what’s interesting about these two titles in particular is that they share a few commonalities with one of streaming’s bigger surprise hits in 2025: Among the Top 10 most-watched series, per Nielsen, there were expected titles like “Bluey” (No. 1), “Grey’s Anatomy” (No. 2), “Squid Game” (No. 3), “Wednesday” (No. 6), and “Bob’s Burgers” (No. 8). But slipping into the Top 10 is the formerly forgotten network drama, “Animal Kingdom” (No. 9). Netflix has been turning more and more of these minor network hits into huge streaming wins, thanks to their accessibility and high episode counts. While “Bridgerton” seasons may only be eight episodes long, “Animal Kingdom” made 75 episodes in just six seasons. “Falling Skies” made 52 over five seasons, and “Southland” totaled 43 in the same span — not staggering totals, by today’s standards, but that’s still quite a bit of TV to watch for new fans, and it likely cost a fraction of what “Bridgerton” does. Expect to “rediscover” more old shows in the months to come.

【Title/标题】 Bowen Yang leaves 'SNL' midway through his 8th season 【Source/来源】 Media Outlet/媒体：NPR Written by/作者：Chloe Veltman 【Background Music/背景音乐】 Bye- Ariana Grande 【Transcript/文稿】 Comedian Bowen Yang has left Saturday Night Live midway through the season, his eighth with the long-running NBC late-night sketch comedy series. The performer participated in his final show Saturday, which was hosted by Wicked star Ariana Grande. Cher was the musical guest. Yang has not publicly shared the reason for his abrupt departure from SNL. In a social media post on Saturday, the comedian thanked the team and expressed gratitude for "every minute" of his time with the show. "I loved working at SNL, and most of all I loved the people," Yang wrote. "I was there at a time when many things in the world started to seem futile, but working at 30 Rock taught me the value in showing up anyway when people make it worthwhile." In his final show on Saturday night, Yang said goodbye to the sketch comedy series with a skit in which he played a Delta airlines employee working their final day in the job. While helping customers at an eggnog station, he said, "Oh, sorry, my machine's kind of breaking down, so I'm closing my station. This is my last shift." "Yeah, it's sad. I'm gonna miss everything about this place. The smells, celebrities would come through," Yang said. "I just feel so lucky that I ever got to work here," he later added, tearfully. Yang, 35, was one of SNL's most prominent recent cast members. His most famous work on the show includes "The Iceberg That Sank the Titanic," a "Weekend Update" segment where Yang personifies the infamous iceberg; a commercial spoof co-starring Travis Kelce — "Straight Male Friend" — advertising the benefits of low-stakes friendships; and his recurring impression of expelled congressman George Santos. At one point, Yang also performed a sketch in which he played an intern on NPR's Tiny Desk concert series. Yang has been nominated for five Emmy Awards for his work on the series. Beyond SNL, the performer's credits include the 2022 romantic comedy Fire Island, the musical Wicked (2024) as well as its sequel, Wicked: For Good (2025), and the remake of The Wedding Banquet (2025). He also co-hosts the Las Culturistas podcast with actor and comedian Matt Rogers. Yang, the show's first Chinese American cast member, rose through SNL's ranks after joining the show as a staff writer in 2018. A year later, he was promoted to on-air talent and eventually became a series regular. Yang talked about the natural turnover at SNL and hinted at life beyond the show in an interview with People earlier this year. "It's this growing, living thing where new people come in and you do have to sort of make way for them and to grow and to keep elevating themselves," he said. "And that inevitably requires me to sort of hang it up at some point — but I don't know what the vision is yet." He joins other cast members who have recently left the show. Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim and Devon Walker are among those who departed ahead of the 51st season, which launched in October. Yang's reps did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment. The series' network, NBCUniversal, referenced Yang's social media post, but provided no further comment. Though uncommon, there have been a few other mid-season SNL departures in the past, including Cecily Strong, Dana Carvey and Eddie Murphy. Fellow entertainers have commented on Yang's departure on social media. "Iconic. (Understatement)" wrote actor Evan Ross Katz on Instagram in response to Yang's post. "Congrats!" wrote comedian Amber Ruffin. "Please make more The Wedding Banquets." NPR critic-at-large Eric Deggans called Yang's departure, even if inevitable, a setback for the show. "SNL thrives when it has a large crop of utility players who can pull comedic gold from the dodgiest sketch ideas," Deggans said, counting Yang among the most talented in recent seasons of the show's cast to fill that role. "No matter what he was asked to do, from playing the iceberg that sunk the Titanic to playing North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, he was able to wring maximum laughs and patch up SNL's historic lack of representation regarding Asian performers," he added. But Yang, Deggans noted, may have reached an apex of what he could achieve on the show, "and it might be time for him to leave, while his star is still ascending and there are opportunities beyond the program available to him which might not be around for long."

【Title/标题】Box Office: ‘Wicked: For Good’ Earns Huge $30.8Million in Previews, Highest of the Year【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：VarietyWritten by/作者：Jordan Moreau【Background Music/背景音乐】For Good - Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande【Transcript/文稿】“Wicked” is casting a spell over the box office once again.Universal’s musical sequel “Wicked: For Good” has made $30.8 million inpreviews at the box office, marking the biggest pre-opening haul of the year.However, the record comes with a caveat. Usually, previews grosses come justfrom Thursday screenings, but Universal rolled out the film a few days early.Monday fan screenings sponsored by Amazon Prime brought in $6.1 million,while additional Wednesday showings made $6.5 million. Thursday previews,including double screenings of “Wicked” and “For Good,” made $18.2 million.The year’s previous record holder was Warner Bros.’ “Superman,” which earned$22.5 million in Thursday previews before making $125 million in its openingweekend.“Wicked: For Good,” the highly anticipated conclusion to last year’s pink-and-green sensation, is on track to make between $150 million and $180 million thisweekend. It could nab the biggest box office debut of the year. Currently, therecord belongs to Warner Bros.’ video game adaptation “A Minecraft Movie,”which made $10.6 million in Thursday previews on the way to a $162 millionlaunch. Universal is playing it safe and predicting a $125 million opening thisweekend, but fan excitement is high after Ariana Grande’s Glinda and CynthiaErivo’s Elphaba became pop culture mainstays last fall.Last year, director Jon M. Chu’s original “Wicked” hauled in $19.2 million inpreviews and grew to a $112.5 million opening weekend in the same pre-Thanksgiving weekend. A year later, the cast, including Jonathan Bailey, EthanSlater, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang and more, finish off the storyof the “Wizard of Oz” prequel. The first “Wicked” helped power last year’sThanksgiving box office to a record $420 million alongside “Gladiator II” and“Moana 2.” Disney’s family-friendly “Zootopia 2” opens next week, and theanimated sequel and “Wicked: For Good” will try to reach similar box officeheights through the holiday.Also opening this weekend is Sony’s action sequel “Sisu: Road to Revenge,”which is projected for a $3 million debut and made $575,000 in Thursday previews. There’s also Searchlight’s “Rental Family,” starring Brendan Fraser — also expected to launch in the low single digits.

【Title/标题】Halloween 2025: All the celebrity costumes at Heidi Klum's party【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：BBCWritten by/作者：Rishma Dosani, Annabel Rackham【Background Music/背景音乐】Zombieboy- Lady Gaga【Transcript/文稿】It is officially the scariest night of the year and, while everyone in Hollywood and beyond has been showing off their elaborate costumes, there is one party we're all watching.Heidi Klum has cemented her place as the official Queen of spooky season thanks to her wild, weird and wonderful costumes and her annual bash that attracts celebrities across the globe.She had kept fans on their toes all day, dropping snippets of her costume on Instagram in the lead up to her party - despite being one of the last arrivals of the night - and she did not disappoint.Following her notorious worm and peacock costumes in recent years, the Project Runway star took her animal theme to new levels as a bright green, and pretty hideous, Medusa.She slithered up the carpet with several moving snakes protruding from her intricate headpiece, sticking her vile tongue out at the waiting photographers.Although she warned fans that her costume would be "very ugly", this probably isn't what anyone expected.Heidi collaborated with Oscar-nominated make-up artist Mike Marino once again to pull off her costume, with a team of more than 35 people working hard to ensure she had all eyes on her.As the festivities continue, here is a look at some of the most impressive outfits at Heidiween 2025 and beyond.But it's not all about Hollywood (or Heidiwood). Even politicians are getting in on the action, including President Trump, who is hosting a party at his Florida home.Like Heidi, her husband Tom Kaulitz, is never one to shy away from playing dress up.He was by her side arriving to the party as a man who was unfortunately turned to stone after looking directly at Medusa.The Tokio Hotel musician committed to the bit by posing with his weapon and shield raised, suggesting Medusa's appearance caught him by surprise moments before his demise.Ice-T and Coco Austin have never shied away from going all out for Halloween, and are regulars at Heidi's annual bash. This year was no different as the rapper looked menacing in a red hooded jumpsuit, hiding his face with a blood-splattered white mask. He had a selection of weapons on hand to make his costume truly terrifying.Model Coco also got the horror memo in a bright red wig and denim bodysuit, with Chucky's tagline: "Wanna play?" scrawled across the front, layered on top of a striped, long-sleeved turtleneck top.YouTuber James Charles carried his own head as he made his way into the party, reminiscent of Jared Leto's red carpet arrival at the 2019 Met Gala.The beauty vlogger put his own spin on things as a "headless horseman" and even filmed a make-up tutorial on Instagram for his unique accessory.Darren Criss may have taken some inspiration from his host as he donned a Shrek costume, including bright green face paint, a prosthetic nose and huge stomach, which he patted in front of the cameras.Not quite as epic as when Heidi did the same in 2018, the Glee star switched his efforts up with tartan red trousers alongside wife Mia Swier - who chose not to be his Princess Fiona, but instead Puss in Boots, complete with a black cape and a hair thong.Olympian Ilona Maher was a real-life vintage Barbie at Klum's Halloween party, modelling a strapless sparkly custom black Undone by Kate gown. She accessorized simply with black opera gloves and a chunky gold necklace.Unveiling her outfit on Instagram, the rugby player proudly posed with her very own Barbie doll, as well as a handkerchief emblazoned with the phrase: "Beast. Beauty. Brains. Barbie."Not every costume has gone down well, with some saying that US model Julia Fox's costume as a blood-soaked Jackie Kennedy was in poor taste.Others have been more popular.Singer Demi Lovato recreated her "Poot Lovato" meme which went viral on Tumblr in 2015 - a reference to her alter-ego who has been locked in a basement.Other highlights on social media include Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter North West and her friends dressing up as Japanese kawaii-metal band BABYMETAL.Maria Carey also went for Japanese theme, with hot pink hair and a frilly pastel blue dress, and posting "Happy Halloween from Japan" in a photo with her two twin children.Rapper Megan Thee Stallion opted for portraying Choso from the Manga series Jujutsu Kaisen.Singer Jade, formerly of girl group Little Mix, dressed up as Greta from the Gremlins, while the Cat in the Hat's famous aesthetic was recreated by singer Janelle Monae.Elsewhere, Paris Hilton recreated the famous look from Britney Spears's music video for Oops!... I Did It Again.Actress Keke Palmer channelled her inner rapper by dressing up as Snoop Dogg (and lip-synching to his music).Actress and BLACKPINK member Lisa looked dazzling as The Golden Woman from the animated series Love, Death + Robots.Kourtney Kardashian Barker is famously a big Halloween fan, with this year's costume serving as a nod to the Bride of Frankenstein.Lizzo, who dressed up as a weight loss drug last year, called Halloween "so cheesy" as she dressed this year as a mozzarella stick, complete with an oozing cheese dress and boots.

【Title/标题】Carly Rae Jepsen Marries Music Producer Cole M.G.N. in an Intimate Ceremony at the Chelsea Hotel in N.Y.C.【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：People MagazineWritten by/作者：Kimberlee Speakman【Background Music/背景音乐】Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen【Transcript/文稿】The “Call Me Maybe” singer, 39, tied the knot with music producer Cole M.G.N. (whose real name is Cole Marsden Greif-Neill) at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City on Oct. 4. The intimate ceremony took place in the famed building's Bard Room among 100 guests, according to Vogue.“We knew we wanted a location that meant something to us, and the Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York," Jepsen told the outlet of the location choice. "As artists, its iconic history and lore made it that much more appealing. For planning, we had weekly dates to talk out all the details of the wedding. This way it was only ever fun and not too much at once.”For the occasion, she wore a strapless corseted dress with a draped skirt from Australian designer Toni Maticevski, for the ceremony, and and an ethereal tiered reception dress from Danielle Frankel in New York City. She paired both with pearl earrings made by her mom, Alexandra Lanzarott. “We knew we were trying to get pregnant, so I also wanted an alternative dress that was much more flowy that I could sub in for the ceremony or just change into for dancing," Jepsen added.The celebration featured a surprise performance from Rufus Wainwright, who treated the crowd to a a capella version of Cohen’s “Chelsea Hotel #2.” “This felt like a once-in-a-lifetime New York moment,” Jepsen shared.Jepsen revealed her engagement to the music producer on Instagram on Sept. 23, 2024, sharing several photos showing off her sparkling ring, which features a dark gemstone and gold band.Alongside other shots of the pair embracing and spending time in nature together, she wrote, "Very engaged over here �️."Jepsen opened up to PEOPLE about the beginnings of their relationship while collaborating on her 2023 album, The Loveliest Time. She revealed that the two met after her management paired them together, and their working relationship soon turned romantic.The two-time Grammy nominee described one of the album's songs, "So Right," as their "meet-cute." The track even opens with a skit about whether or not it's a "good idea" for them to hang out together after-hours — something Jepsen said she suggested only after they got “close.”"You have to get to a certain level of comfort with somebody before you can get to those really playful, joyful, experimental places," she explained at the time. "We'll go traveling somewhere, and we'll bring a little acoustic guitar," she added of their dynamic. "I think you'll see a lot more of our collaboration together for future projects, but ['So Right'] is our first little baby out in the world. We're both so excited."Since striking a relationship, the pair have shown support for each other over the years, with Jepsen including Cole in a "visualizer" on Instagram for her song "Shy Boy," which included scenes of the pair dancing in the street and holding hands. She also gave him a shoutout in a birthday post in November 2022, alongside a clip on Instagram of Cole bringing her a cake decorated with lit candles during a celebration at home. In her message, she wrote that she “wished for lots of secret things but also and most importantly just more bdays with you."In July, Jepsen shared a sneak peek of the couple preparing for their nuptials."Oh you know wedding things. Mostly fighting about cake. ;)" she captioned a series of photos on Instagram showing a variety of mini cakes, plus a shot of her ring.The following month in August, Jepsen celebrated her bachelorette party, and shared photos celebrating with friends in colorful wigs and custom shirts.

【Title/标题】Diane Keaton, Famed for Roles in Father of the Bride, First Wives Club and More, Dies at 79 (Exclusive)【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：People Magazine Written by/作者：Victoria Edel, Nicholas Rice, and Julie Jordan【Background Music/背景音乐】The Life of a Showgirl - Taylor Swift featuring Sabrina Carpenter【Transcript/文稿】PEOPLE can confirm the legendary actress Diane Keaton died in California on Saturday, Oct. 11. "There are no further details available at this time, and her family has asked for privacy in this moment of great sadness," a spokesperson tells PEOPLE.The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) confirms to PEOPLE that they responded to Keaton's home at 8:08 a.m. local time and transported a 79-year-old woman to a local hospital.Keaton rose to fame in the 1970s thanks to her role in The Godfather films and her collaborations with director Woody Allen. She won an Oscar for Best Actress for 1977’s Annie Hall. Her long career included movies like The First Wives Club, multiple collaborations with director Nancy Meyers and the Book Club franchise.The actress was born in Los Angeles in 1946 as Diane Hall, and was the oldest of four children. Her father was a civil engineer, while her mom stayed at home.Still, Keaton thought her mother dreamed of something bigger. "Secretly in her heart of hearts she probably wanted to be an entertainer of some kind," the actress told PEOPLE in 2004. "She sang. She played the piano. She was beautiful. She was my advocate.”Keaton performed in plays in high school, and after graduating in 1964, she pursued drama in college. But she soon dropped out and moved to New York to try to make her way in theater. She took her mother’s maiden name, Keaton, for her professional name, because there was already a Diane Hall registered with Actors' Equity. In 1968, Keaton was cast in Broadway’s Hair as the understudy for Sheila. In 2017, Keaton told PEOPLE that she struggled with bulimia during this time after the director of the show told her she needed to lose weight, though she didn’t blame him for her illness. “Believe me, it had to do with an overabundant need for more. Too much. It was a mental illness,” she said.“I became a master at hiding. Hiding any evidence — how do you make sure no one knows? You live a lifestyle that is very strange. You’re living a lie,” she explained about her illness. She eventually recovered thanks to therapy, but said bulimia also robbed her of the ability to enjoy her time on Broadway.Next, Keaton starred in Allen’s Broadway show Play It Again, Sam, which premiered in 1969. She received a Tony nomination for the role. "I think the kindest thing that someone's ever done for me ... is that I got cast to be in The Godfather and I didn't even read it. I didn't know a single thing," she told PEOPLE in 2022. "I just was going around auditioning. I think that was amazing for me. And then I had to kind of read the book." The film was a massive success and won Best Picture at the Oscars. Keaton reprised her role in 1974’s The Godfather Part II, which was also a triumph and won Best Picture. She returned for 1990’s The Godfather Part III, the last film. Keaton also continued to collaborate with Allen, appearing in the film version of Play It Again, Sam, released in 1972, 1973’s Sleeper and 1975’s Love and Death. Despite her early success, Keaton’s insecurities still plagued her, and she would never watch her own films. "I just don't like the way I look and sound," she told PEOPLE in 1975.In 1977, Keaton starred in Allen’s Annie Hall as the title character. She won the Oscar for Best Actress for the role. Annie’s wardrobe mimicked Keaton’s own, full of menswear, vests, and structured trousers, and the film cemented the actress’s place as a style icon.Many speculated that the movie was based on Keaton and Allen’s relationship. She told The New York Times in 1977, “It's not true, but there are elements of truth in it.” Keaton would collaborate with Allen again in 1978’s Interiors, 1979’s Manhattan and 1993’s Manhattan Murder Mystery. She also defended Allen in the wake of sexual abuse allegations from his stepdaughter Dylan Farrow. “I love him,” she told The Guardian in 2014. Keaton’s other film roles included 1977’s Looking for Mr. Goodbar, 1981’s Reds, 1982’s Shoot the Moon and 1984’s The Little Drummer Girl. She worked with Meyers for the first time on 1987’s Baby Boom. They would reunite three more times: in 1991’s Father of the Bride, 1995’s Father of the Bride Part II and 2003’s Something’s Gotta Give, which garnered another Oscar nom for Keaton. Asked which of these projects she loved the most, Keaton told Vulture in 2020, “Honestly, you can think it’s sappy, but I love the Father of the Bride movies. They were so touching."Keaton starred with Goldie Hawn and Bette Midler in 1996’s The First Wives Club, about three women whose husbands had left them for younger women. The comedy famously ended with all three singing Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me.” Keaton told The Hollywood Reporter in 2023 that she was “always kind of anxious and a little worried” while filming it because Hawn and Midler were “really amazing actresses.”Later roles for Keaton included The Family Stone, Because I Said So, Finding Dory, Book Club (and its sequel) and Poms. She made a rare TV appearance with a starring role in HBO’s 2016 miniseries The Young Pope. Keaton also worked as a director, helming the 1987 documentary Heaven, 2000’s Hanging Up and an episode of Twin Peaks.In 2021 Keaton starred in Justin Bieber’s music video “Ghost.” She also was a prolific Instagram user, posting updates on her life, reflections on her career and friendships and praising those she loved.Looking back on her career, Keaton told PEOPLE in 2019, "I don't know anything, and I haven't learned. Getting older hasn't made me wiser. Without acting I would have been a misfit."Keaton never married. “Today I was thinking, I'm the only one in my generation of actresses who has been a single woman all her life,” she explained to PEOPLE in 2019. “I'm really glad I didn't get married. I'm an oddball. I remember in high school, this guy came up to me and said, ‘One day you're going to make a good wife.’ And I thought, ‘I don't want to be a wife. No.’”She was romantically linked to Allen, Pacino and Warren Beatty over the years. "Talent is so damn attractive," she noted to PEOPLE. Keaton had two children, daughter Dexter and son Duke, whom she adopted in 1996 and 2001, respectively. "Motherhood was not an urge I couldn't resist, it was more like a thought I'd been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in,” she told Ladies' Home Journal in 2008.Keaton is survived by her children.

【Title/标题】Nicole Kidman files for divorce from Keith Urban citing ‘marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences’【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：E!NewsWritten by/作者：Will Reid【Transcript/文稿】Nicole Kidman has filed for divorce from Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage, bringing a surprising end to a long and seemingly successful union that brought together two superstars from the worlds of movies and music.The 58-year-old Oscar-winning actor petitioned on Tuesday to end her marriage to the 57-year-old Grammy winning country singer in a Nashville court. The documents state the couple has undergone “marital difficulties and irreconcilable differences”.Kidman and Urban, two of the biggest stars to come out of Australia in recent decades, have been red carpet fixtures throughout their two-decade relationship, with Urban joining his wife at the Oscars and Kidman attending music events such as the Academy of Country Music Awards.The filings include a marriage dissolution and childcare plan agreed on by the couple and submitted for a judge’s approval.“The mother and father will behave with each other and each child so as to provide a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child even though they are divorced,” says the permanent parenting plan, using language common in the state’s divorces.“They will not speak badly of each other or the members of the family of the other parent. They will encourage each child to continue to love the other parent and be comfortable in both families.”The plan asks that Kidman be the primary residential parent to the couple’s two daughters, ages 17 and 14, having them for 306 days per year with Urban taking them for the other 59.The girls have lived in Nashville all their lives and the documents give no indication that will change.The filing states that each parent earns more than $100,000 per month and neither will need childcare or spousal support.The marriage dissolution plan lays out a roughly equal division of joint assets, with each keeping all the assets that are in their own name, including the copyrights and royalties for their artistic work.The detailed agreements suggests that the divorce had been in the works for well over a month at the least. Urban signed the parenting plan on 29 August, Kidman on 6 September.It will take at least 90 days for the divorce to become final under Tennessee law.Representatives for Kidman and Urban did not respond to emailed requests for comment on Tuesday.Both raised in Australia, Kidman and Urban met in 2005 at a Los Angeles event honoring Australians and were married in Sydney the following year.The marriage was the first for Urban and the second for Kidman, who was married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001. Kidman also has two older children with Cruise.The couple had publicly but lovingly described some marital difficulties, but there were still few if any signs they were headed for divorce. Media reports of their separation came just a day before the divorce filing.Last year at the premiere of the Netflix series The Perfect Couple, Kidman told the Associated Press the term didn’t apply to her and Urban.“You’re heading for trouble if you consider yourselves the perfect couple,” she said. “I’m not a believer in perfect.”A few months earlier, Urban paid tribute to Kidman, and brought her to tears, when she received the AFI Life Achievement Award.Urban said she showed him “what love in action really looks like” when his substance abuse problems emerged almost immediately after they wed in 2006.“Four months into our marriage, I’m in rehab for three months,” Urban said. “Nic pushed through every negative voice, I’m sure even some of her own, and she chose love. And here we are 18 years later.”Kidman’s film roles have included Days of Thunder, Eyes Wide Shut, Moulin Rouge and The Hours, for which she won an Academy Award for her portrayal of author Virginia Woolf. She has more recently worked in television, including the series Nine Perfect Strangers and Big Little Lies, for which she won Emmys as both actor and producer.Urban has been a major country star since the 1990s, with hits including Somebody Like You and Blue Ain’t Your Color. He has won four Grammy awards and more than a dozen ACM awards.Their split was first reported by TMZ.

【Title/标题】Trump signs executive order to transfer TikTok to US owners【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：The GuardianWritten by/作者：Dara Kerr and Nick Robins-Early【Transcript/文稿】Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday outlining the terms of a deal to transfer TikTok to a US owner.Trump said the US and China had come to an agreement to allow TikTok to continue operating in the US, separating the social media platform from its Chinese owner ByteDance. Trump said the deal complies with a law that would have forced the shutdown of the app for American users had it not been divested and sold to a US owner.“This is going to be American-operated all the way,” Donald Trump said. Under the plan, US investors will take over the majority of TikTok’s operations and take charge of a licensed copy of the app’s powerful recommendation algorithm. American companies are expected to own about 65% of the US version of the spun-off company, while ByteDance and Chinese investors will own less than 20%. The new version of TikTok will be controlled by a seven-member board of directors made up of cybersecurity and national security experts, six of them Americans, according to the White House.The new US company will be valued at $14bn, according to JD Vance, who also spoke at the press conference, a number far lower than the valuation for ByteDance overall, which is estimated to be around $330bn. By comparison, Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, is valued at $1.8tn.The group of American TikTok investors is led by the US software giant Oracle, which will oversee TikTok’s US operations, provide cloud service for user data storage and get a license to take control of the app’s algorithm. White House officials have said ByteDance and Chinese officials will not have access to US user data.Along with Oracle and its co-founder Larry Ellison, Trump said at the press conference that other investors include media mogul Rupert Murdoch and the CEO of Dell computers Michael Dell. “Great investors. The biggest. They don’t get bigger,” Trump said. Vance added that more details about who is involved in the deal will be announced over the next few days.When asked if TikTok would start prioritizing Maga-related content, Trump said, “I always like Maga-related. If I could, I’d make it 100% Maga-related” but indicated that the app would continue recommending a wide variety of content as before, saying: “Every group will be treated fairly”.The deal ends months of legal limbo for one of the US’s most widely used apps, while also giving several US companies a powerful newfound influence within the social media industry. TikTok is used by about 180 million people nationwide, and Trump has credited it with helping him win the 2024 presidential election. The deal is also another foray for the Trump administration to exert influence over the tech industry, after it took a 10% stake in chipmaker Intel earlier this month and has urged companies like Apple and Nvidia to invest hundreds of billions domestically.Trump had earlier indicated that the US government would receive a lucrative fee from the US investors for negotiating the deal with China, saying last week: “The United States is getting a tremendous fee-plus – I call it a fee-plus – for just making the deal.”But on Thursday, when asked about this, the president simply said the US would take ordinary taxes from the new company, adding: “We’re gonna make money and we’re going to get a lot of money in taxes.”TikTok once faced bipartisan pushback from lawmakers over concerns about data privacy, but TikTok repeatedly denied those claims, but Congress overwhelmingly voted last year to compel ByteDance to find a US buyer or face a ban in the country.The supreme court unanimously upheld the ban in January. On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order postponing the ban and has since repeatedly delayed its enforcement. The “Saving TikTok” executive order Trump issued on Thursday says the deal complies with the law passed by Congress, is a “qualified divestiture” and “resolves” national security concerns. The divestiture from ByteDance isn’t expected to be completed for another 120 days.

【Title/标题】Jimmy Kimmel advocates for free speech, slams FCC chair in late-night return【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：The Washington PostWritten by/作者：Emily Yahr【Transcript/文稿】After one of the more eventful weeks of his career, Jimmy Kimmel returned to late-night TV on Tuesday to a huge standing ovation from his studio audience, as he talked about the controversy that saw his show temporarily removed from ABC’s airwaves after comments he made about the killing of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk.During a 20-minute monologue on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Kimmel thanked many people for their support over the past six days — and delivered a passionate call for free speech. He said he was moved to see people on both sides of the aisle criticize what appeared to be the head of a government agency suggesting that he would attempt to shut down or censor the show of a comedian he didn’t like.“This show is not important: What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this,” Kimmel said to much applause from the crowd. He added that free speech was something he was “embarrassed” to say he took for granted, “until they pulled my friend Stephen off the air, and tried to coerce the affiliates who run our show in the cities that you live in to take my show off the air. That’s not legal, that’s not American. That is un-American, and it is so dangerous.”Last Wednesday, Disney-owned ABC pulled Kimmel’s show after conservative backlash to comments he made in his Sept. 15 monologue: “We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel had said.Afterward, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr went on a podcast and called the remarks “some of the sickest conduct possible,” and suggested that Disney’s broadcast licenses could be in jeopardy. TV station owners Nexstar and Sinclair — which own a combined total of about 70 ABC affiliate stations — said they were dropping Kimmel’s show. Both companies said this week they will continue not to broadcast the show, keeping it off channels in cities including Washington.On Tuesday, Kimmel grew emotional as he emphasized that he never intended to make light of Kirk’s death, and noted that on the day Kirk was killed, he posted a message on Instagram sending love to Kirk’s family and asking for compassion. While some interpreted Kimmel’s initial comments as saying the suspect in Kirk’s shooting was part of MAGA, Kimmel said he never intended to blame “any specific group” for the actions of “a deeply disturbed individual.“That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make, but I understand that to some, that felt ill-timed or unclear or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you’re upset. If the situation was reversed, there’s a good chance I would have felt the same way,” Kimmel said, getting choked up again. “I have many friends and family members on the other side who I love and remain close to, even though we don’t agree on politics at all.”“I don’t think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone,” he added. “This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution. And it isn’t. Ever.”Kimmel went on to say that he was grateful that he has worked for Walt Disney Co. for the past 23 years, but that he was not happy when it took his show off the air. But he said he talked it out with the executives, and he appreciated them giving him freedom to say what he wants — though he joked that they insisted he read instructions on-air about how to resubscribe to Disney+, given how many people recently canceled their subscriptions in protest.Kimmel turned serious as he said he knows that restoring his show puts Disney at risk.“Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke,” Kimmel said. “ … And I hope that if that happens, or if there’s even any hint of that happening, you will be 10 times as loud as you were this week.” The host wrapped up his monologue by saying that he hoped the silver lining of this controversy was that it brought people from the left, right and center together to speak up for the First Amendment. “We found one thing we can agree on, and maybe we’ll find another one,” he said. Kimmel became emotional again as he said he was touched by the speech that Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, delivered at his memorial on Sunday, in which she said she forgave the man who shot her husband. “That is an example we should follow. A selfless act of grace, forgiveness from a grieving widow,” Kimmel said. “And if there’s anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that and not this.”

【Title/标题】MTV VMAs 2025 winners: Lady Gaga, Ariana Grandeand Sabrina Carpenter triumph at muted awardceremony【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：The GuardianWritten by/作者：Adrian Horton【Transcript/文稿】Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter triumphed at the MTV Video Music awards, taking home two moonman trophies each in a relatively muted show that once again largely celebrated female pop artists and legacy acts.Gaga, the most nominated artist of the evening with 12 nods, took home the first award at Long Island’s UBS arena, for artist of the year, winning over fellow superstars Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny and Beyoncé, all of whom were not in attendance.The Disease singer dedicated the award to the audience and her partner, Michael Polansky, then dashed off to the final show on her Mayhem tour at Madison Square Garden.“I cannot begin tell you what this means to me,” the singer said, dressed in a baroque black gown. “I hope as you navigate through the mayhem of daily life, you are reminded of the importance of the art of your life, that you can count on yourself and your simple skills to keep you whole.”Gaga’s absence was one of many in a three-hour show that was relatively light on star power and awards. The ceremony was emceed by a largely off-screen LL Cool J and handed out only seven awards during the telecast, all of them to female artists and Bruno Mars for his collaborations with two female artists: his duet with Lady Gaga, Die With A Smile, won best collaboration, while Apt, his track with Blackpink member Rosé, was crowned song of the year.“This is a really big moment for 16-year-old me and anyone else who has dreamed about being accepted equally for their hard work,” Rosé said in a lengthy and emotional speech.Sabrina Carpenter won album of the year for Short n’ Sweet and best pop artist, while Grande won best pop video and the evening’s top award, video of year, for Brighter Days Ahead, which she accepted alongside director Christian Breslauer.“This project is about the hard work that is healing all different kinds of trauma and coming home to our young selves and creating safety in our own lives, which is a lifelong process and a daily exercise,” Grande said, accepting the award. “If you’re on that journey, please continue onward, because I promise there are brighter days ahead.”As is now typical, the VMAs nodded toward the globalization and genre blends in popular music – Colombian superstar J Balvin and French producer DJ Snake teamed up for their track Noventa; multinational girl group Katseye, with members from the Philippines, South Korea, Switzerland and the US, won for Push performance of the year; and Post Malone and Jelly Roll, beaming in from their tour stop in Munich, represented the ongoing country-ification of pop with their booze-soaked anthem Losers.But the show skewed heavily toward the women in pop, with performances from Doja Cat, Canadian singer Tate McRae and Carpenter, who delivered a retro-themed performance of Tears accompanied by a who’s who of RuPaul’s Drag Race stars and ballroom icons as a statement on protecting trans rights.In recent years, the show once known for delivering culture-defining moments has been more attuned to legacy than its potential to produce new ones, introducing two new lifetime achievement awards.Mariah Carey was presented with the Video Vanguard Award by Ariana Grande, becoming the eighth consecutive woman to win the evening’s top lifetime achievement honor.“I can’t believe I’m getting my first VMA tonight. I just have one question: what in the Sam Hill were you waiting for?” Carey joked, after performing a medley of her hits.“Music videos are my way of life, of bringing music to my own life,” she continued. “Let’s be honest, sometimes they’re just an excuse to bring the drama and do things I wouldn’t do in real life … Music evolves, but fun? That is eternal.”

【Title/标题】Earth, Wind & Fire Got 24 Hours’ Notice From Sabrina Carpenter【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：VultureWritten by/作者：Devon Ivie【Transcript/文稿】Prior to this weekend, the best-known duet ofPhilip Bailey’s career was the stone-cold PhilCollins classic “Easy Lover.” Now, it might be alittle shorter and sweeter. Earth, Wind & Fire werethe surprise guests at Sabrina Carpenter’sLollapalooza set on August 3, with the bandjoining Carpenter for a rump-shaking two-song setof “Let’s Groove” and “September.” Bailey, who’sserved as lead singer since 1972, credits Carpenter’sagent for conjuring up the idea. However, therewas a major time crunch leading up to theperformance, so much so that Bailey was initiallyskeptical the correct decision was made. “It wasone of those kinds of things that happened in 24hours,” he recalls. “We had to really turn this thingaround.”Earth, Wind & Fire were up in Detroit for aconcert on August 2 and had two days off beforetheir next gig in the northern Michigan town ofInterlochen. Lollapalooza, held in Chicago — thegroup’s hometown — was an easy enoughcommute for the friendly and luxurious skies.“They sent a private plane for us and ourentourage,” Bailey says. “We hopped a plane atseven in the morning, went in, and had therehearsal. It was very quick and kind of sketchy. Iwas almost concerned about it. But by thatevening, they had dialed everything in, and she didher homework on what verses she was going totake. We went out there and floated on all thatenergy.” The song choices of “Let’s Groove” and“September” were an easy decision because they“always keep the party rocking,” although Baileysays Carpenter was well versed in the band’sdeeper discography during their brief timetogether. She later wrote on social media thatEarth, Wind & Fire “raised me on the greatestsongs of all time; true soul moving timeless music.”Bailey wasn’t familiar with Carpenter’s workbesides the caffeinated earworm “Espresso,” andtime constraints for the rehearsal prevented themfrom getting to know each other a little bit better,as there were several other members of Earth,Wind & Fire to contend and choreograph with onstage, including longtime percussionist and singerRalph Johnson. “She’s very cordial, very kind, andvery approachable,” Bailey says of the pop star. “Weboth greeted each other warmly, but we didn’t havetime to talk about anything. Everybody was on atight schedule. We didn’t even have time to runover the performance thoroughly. There werethings that weren’t right during the run-through,so my people stayed there and we trusted that theywould get all that stuff ready in due time.”The results, of course, speak for themselves:Carpenter, strutting around in a sequined pinkbodysuit, looks over the moon to be in the presenceof such legendary elements. Bailey looks dashinghimself in a patterned suit, dancing the night awayto some of the most joyous hits in the Americancanon. “Sometimes things work, and oftentimesthey don’t,” Bailey explains. “Her energy and ourenergy were very compatible and complementaryto one another. How she puts her show together, interms of how it accelerates and builds, wasfantastic. Where she chose to put our segment was perfect.”Consider it a successful weekend for respecting theclassics. The night prior, Carpenter’s fellowLollapalooza headliner Olivia Rodrigo brought outWeezer for a one-two punch of “Say It Ain’t So” and“Buddy Holly,” continuing her own impressivefestival streak of highlighting rock elders foryounger audiences. (Carpenter has stated in thepast her admiration for Queen, the Beatles, andRush, in case we’re scoping out ideas for the future.You think she has the range for “Fly by Night”?)But, for now, Bailey is thrilled. “I had to askeverybody once we were done, ‘How was it?’Because you can’t really feel with that shortperformance if you’re actually meeting the mark ornot and I think we all had nerves,” he says, as if thetens of thousands of gyrating fans in the audienceweren’t enough confirmation. “We were honored tobe asked and very appreciative to her and to herfans for embracing these moments we were able to create together.

【Title/标题】Box Office: ‘Fantastic Four: First Steps’ Clobbers $57 Million Opening Day — Second-Biggest of the Year【Source/来源】Media Outlet/媒体：VarietyWritten by/作者：By J. Kim Murphy【Transcript/文稿】“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” stretched its arms around $57 million from 4,125 theaters across Friday and preview screenings. Per Disney‘s numbers, that’s the second-biggest opening day of the calendar year, ranking just behind “A Minecraft Movie” ($57.11 million). The film is playing Imax and other premium large format auditoriums.It also just edges out Marvel Studios‘ comic book banner rival, DC Studios’ “Superman,” which began with a $56.1 million opening day just two weeks ago. It’ll be a close call on whether “Fantastic Four” can keep pacing ahead to beat the $125 million three-day opening of “Superman.”It’s the best first day kick-off for a Marvel Cinematic Universe entry since “Deadpool & Wolverine” dominated the box office 12 months ago. And like that R-rated smash, “Fantastic Four” is based on Marvel characters that were acquired by Disney after the studio’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, demonstrating some value to that $71 billion merger. Three previous big-budget “Fantastic Four” entries were produced at Fox, from 2005 to 2015. (There was also an unreleased 1994 feature, spearheaded by Roger Corman as a means to retain film rights for German producers. It circulates among diehards.)With a story that has little connection to other Marvel Cinematic Universe entries, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has presented itself as a relatively fresh entry point to audiences. Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach, who lead the film as Marvel’s first family, are all MCU newcomers. “First Steps” also has the benefit of strong reviews and good audience sentiment (pollster Cinema Score turned in an “A-” grade among ticketbuyers).At a production cost of $200 million, plus much more to market and distribute, the film will need to hold as one of the biggest grossers of the year to turn a profit in theaters. Marvel’s two previous 2025 releases, “Captain America: Brave New World” and “Thunderbolts*,” launched to $88.5 million and $76 million respectively. Both ended up losing money theatrically.Disney hopes to gain some momentum with the Matt Shakman-directed “Fantastic Four,” ahead of the studio’s extensive hiatus from superhero films. Marvel is producing “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” the fourth Tom Holland-led entry set to release July 2026. But Sony is distributing that film. Disney will have nearly a year and a half to plan for its next MCU installment, the mega-team-up “Avengers: Doomsday,” set for December 2026.Second place goes to Warner Bros.’ “Superman,” which added $7.1 million on Friday. It’s down 57% from its daily total a week ago, now competing with a newer superhero spectacle. The cinematic universe-rebooter should fly to a $289 million domestic total after its third weekend, which will put it ahead of “Sinners” ($278 million) to have it rank as the fourth-highest grossing North American release of the year.Universal’s “Jurassic World Rebirth” is sliding to third in its fourth weekend, adding another $3.6 million on Friday. The seventh entry in the dinosaur series is projecting $13 million for its fourth weekend, which would be another good hold at a 45% drop. Total domestic gross is expected to pass $301 million through Sunday — only the third release of 2025 to get into the triple hundreds.Fourth looks to go to “F1.” Warner Bros.’ release of Apple Studios’ racing thriller added $1.8 million Friday, down just 37% from its daily total a week ago. At a production cost of $250 million, theatrical profitability is a questionable prospect at best for the Brad Pitt-led feature. But it has put up strong holds since debuting a month ago. The film looks to hit a $165 million domestic total through Sunday.Paramount’s IP revival “Smurfs” rounds out the top five, adding $1.72 million on Friday and projecting $5.6 million for its second weekend. After a low opening, that’s a 49% second-weekend drop, showing some relative staying power as the only new animated offering to families. Domestic total will hit $22.9 million through the first 10 days — a disappointing result against a $58 million production budget.
