Quentin Tarantino to Make West End Debut With First-Ever British Stage Show
Seven years after his last film, Quentin Tarantino is officially eyeing a return to the entertainment industry with his new project: a first-of-its-kind new stage show.
According to Variety, the 63-year-old Pulp Fiction director is moving ahead with an original play he's written for London's West End in the immediate future. The play is described as “old-fashioned British farce,” with comparisons made to the hit comedic play, Noises Off.
As per the publication, the play could potentially open next fall at the earliest. Although there is a chance the director might enlist the help of some of his numerous acting collaborators, the project could also draw from a group of younger or comparatively lesser-known performers to headline the show.
Previously, Tarantino has long maintained his desire to eventually enter the world of theater. If the project pans out successfully, it will mark the Reservoir Dogs filmmaker's first foray into the format, marking yet another medium the prolific director has ventured into in more recent years.
As most of his dedicated fans are sure to know, Tarantino's most recent film took the form of 2019's critically well-received comedy drama, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Set in 1960s Los Angeles, the film featured an all-star cast (Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie) and explored the transitional period of Golden Age Hollywood into the New Hollywood movement of the 1970s.
Over the past decade, Tarantino has also repeatedly affirmed his goal to direct a total of 10 movies before retiring from the film industry. While many viewers have wondered what exactly his tenth movie might be, Tarantino has remained busy pursuing other creative interests, writing a novelization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as well as a book of film criticism (Cinema Speculation).
He has also written the script for David Fincher's upcoming film, The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which will act as a spin-off sequel of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Deleted 'Hunger Games' Clip Shared In New Promo Video Ahead Of 'Sunrise On The Reaping'
The official Hunger GamesTikTok account has shared a never-before-seen deleted clip from the original Hunger Games trilogy in a new promo video.
The video begins with a deleted clip of Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), presumably at the beginning of the second Hunger Games movie, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, retrieving a box labeled "75"—a reference to the 75th annual Hunger Games.
Those games, also referred to as the Third Quarter Quell, were the focus of Catching Fire and were the final games ever played.
@hungergamesofficialThis is how we remember: The 10th Hunger Games.
♬ original sound - The Hunger GamesAlthough this video comes ahead of the November 20, 2026, theatrical release of the upcoming new movie, The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, it primarily focuses on the most recently released Hunger Games movie, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
However, eagle-eyed viewers were quick to point out that a deeper meaning connected to Sunrise on the Reaping is heavily implied, as the video ends with a timeline showing the 10th annual Hunger Games (those depicted in The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes), the 50th Hunger Games (those in Sunrise on the Reaping) and then the 74th Hunger Games, which were the focus of the very first Hunger Games book and movie.
What has gotten fans particularly curious is that this new promo ends by stating that The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is "on digital now," but that movie has been available for digital purchase or rental since December 2023.
For that reason, some have begun to suspect that this could mean a new Hunger Games announcement coming soon. While that hasn't been confirmed, if it is the case, it would make the most sense for it to be a new trailer for Sunrise on the Reaping. So far, only a teaser trailer for the movie has been released, and fans are eagerly awaiting a longer, closer look at all that this new movie will entail.
Lily Collins Just Got Her Stolen Engagement Ring Back 3 Years Later
A belated happy ending for Lily Collins! The 36-year-old Emily in Paris actress' beautiful rose-cut diamond from Charlie McDowell was stolen at a Los Angeles spa nearly three years ago, and now, in a surprising twist of fate, she's gotten it back!
"So grateful to [Hakimian Imports Chicago Jewelers] for helping recover my original engagement ring after it was stolen almost three years ago," Phil Collins' daughter wrote on her Instagram Stories on March 6 while showing off the sparkler in a smiling selfie. "Having this home means SO much to us. I'm still speechless it's back on my finger."

"Got her her ring back this week," he added. "I'm feeling the good karma, I'm happy! What a day... Lily and Charlie, love you guys!" In a separate photo, he revealed he even cleaned the beautiful gold bezel-set ring before mailing it back to her.
View this post on InstagramCollins got engaged to the director in September 2020, and the ring was extra special because McDowell designed it just for her. "It’s a rose-cut diamond. Charlie designed it with Irene [Neuwirth]," Collins shared on Live! With Kelly and Mark at the time. "I was very surprised by it, but it’s exactly what I would’ve wanted and he knew me so well, obviously."
Three years later it was stolen, along with other belongings, while she was at the spa in a West Hollywood hotel in May 2023. Fans were thrilled to see it returned to its rightful owner.
"Oh I LOVE THIS STORY!" said one fan on Instagram, while another added, "@joethejewelerchicago you’re epic!"

Outback Steakhouse Brings Back Sirloin & Coconut Shrimp Steak n' Mate Combo
Outback Steakhouse has long found a way to deliver the best of both world when it comes to its first-rate menu, balancing out an even divide between fresh seafood and hearty steaks when it comes to ordering options.
But when it comes right down to it, why pick one or the other when you can actually find a way to order both?
Fortunately, for all those in the mood for seafood and steak, Outback is once again offering their wildly popular Sirloin & Coconut Shrimp Steak n' Mate Combo for a limited time this spring.
According to Allrecipes, Outback has once again reintroduced the Sirloin & Coconut Shrimp Steak n' Mate Combo to nationwide menus.
Featuring Outback's famed center-cut sirloin steak along with generously-sized shrimp coated in crispy coconut flakes, the dish comes served with the restaurant's creole marmalade and your choice of side.
If that weren't already an amazing-sounding dinner, Outback also has a limited-time Down Under Trio that allows you to sample three of the brand's most popular appetizers. This includes Outback's famous Bloomin' Onion, their gooey Fried Mozzarella Bloomerangs with a side of marinara sauce and Aussie Cheese Fries with homemade ranch dressing.
Along with these exciting new menu additions, Outback is also rolling out two other similarly returning fan favorites in the form of the Chimichurri Filet and Chocolate Chip Skillet.
The former features seared filet medallion cut into neat slices and topped with a zesty chimichurri sauce, complete with a side of Bloomin' Onion petals; meanwhile, the Chocolate Chip Skillet features a generously-sized chocolate chip cookie, still warm and gooey from the skillet.
As of right now, it's not yet clear for how long the returning items will stick around on Outback's menu.
As they are indeed here for a limited time, however, you might want to think about ordering any of these three dining options before they've once again vanished from Outback's menus.
Barbie to Celebrate International Women's Day with New 'Dream Team' Dolls, Including Astronaut Kellie Gerardi
To celebrate International Women's Day, Barbie is spotlighting real-life trailblazers with a new "Dream Team" doll collection, honoring women who are pushing boundaries in fields ranging from science and sports to activism and exploration. Among those receiving their own doll is Kellie Gerardi, a payload specialist and a research astronaut whose work is helping shape the future of spaceflight.
The new lineup is part of Barbie's broader initiative to highlight female role models whose achievements inspire the next generation, particularly in areas where women have historically been underrepresented. The brand has spent recent years expanding its roster of dolls modeled after real women—including prominent athletes like tennis player Serena Williams and soccer player Chloe Kelly—in an effort to show young girls a wider range of possibilities.

Gerardi's inclusion in the collection reflects her growing influence in the space industry. A researcher focused on microgravity science, she has become a prominent advocate for commercial space research and women's representation in aerospace. In 2023, she flew aboard a suborbital mission with Virgin Galactic's Galactic 05, conducting research that could help inform future space missions and technologies. She'll embark on her second mission in 2026.
Now, Gerardi is being immortalized in plastic.
"It's something that just feels like such a full-circle moment," she told PEOPLE, adding that she was in tears when she was contacted by Mattel. "I grew up playing with Barbie dolls. I'm a mom of an eight-year-old daughter, plus one who will be here in a few weeks, and that's a huge part of our imaginative play."
She also said that a "common trope" from her community of supporters online has long been, "You're like real-life space Barbie" or a "real-life astronaut Barbie."
Gerardi took to that online community this week to share the exciting news, tell her Instagram followers that she was "beside" herself, both "literally and figuratively," with a photo holding up her new Barbie replica.
"If you've followed my career, you know how much emphasis I've always placed on refusing to tone down my multitudes or femininity," she captioned the photo. "I want my daughters to see that I refuse to shrink myself to fit someone else's picture—instead, I wanted to force that picture to expand to include me. This Barbie expands that picture beyond my wildest dreams."
View this post on InstagramThe doll modeled after Gerardi features details inspired by her real-life career, including a spaceflight jacket, her signature star necklace, and her mission patch, reflecting the work she has done both in the lab and in flight.
For Gerardi, the honor represents more than a personal milestone. It's a chance to show young girls that careers in science and space exploration are within reach. After all, her goal has always been about "helping open the door to space for the next generation of scientists" in an effort to "benefit humanity," she explained to PEOPLE. And that's precisely why joining the inaugural Barbie "Dream Team" has been so "beautiful and humbling."
"The honor is immense," she continued to PEOPLE. "I think a lot about the fact that gender schemas are formed so early in life, and they're so rigid ... But my daughter is growing up, and if you ask her, 'Draw an astronaut,' she's drawing herself or a little girl ... To me, that symbolizes the crux of what I value most about this partnership. That optimism for the future and the honoring of what it took to open these new paths, and the celebration of those who are boldly pursuing them and trying to hold them open a little wider."
The "Dream Team" collection arrives as Barbie continues its push to evolve beyond traditional dolls to focus more on storytelling around real women making an impact. The International Women's Day launch highlights the brand's message that curiosity and courage can take girls anywhere, from sports arenas to the edges of space.
I Tried the Viral “Cheesy Potato Thing” 3 Ways—Only One Actually Worked
I love a good food hack, especially those that go viral and get people talking. Some food hacks stop you mid-scroll because they look elegant or impressive. Others grab your attention because they’re strange enough that you need to know how they turn out. This cheesy potato “thing” I keep seeing all over social media firmly falls into the second category. It’s part mashed potato, part stuffed bread in a TikTok viral kitchen experiment that I had to try.
The recipe has been tried multiple ways online, such as the one shared by content creator Graeme Tomlinson (@thefitnesschef), and receives mixed feedback because the finished product doesn’t always seem polished or photogenic, but it promises a whole lot of comfort-food appeal and minimal ingredients, most of which I already had on hand, and that is usually enough to convince me to try something at least once.
I tried this recipe a few different ways, and one really stood out. This is one of those recipes that isn't exactly easy, and it's pretty messy for some parts, but if you like potatoes, cheese and recipes that still taste good even when they go a little sideways, this one might be worth keeping. If nothing else, trying it at least once is a fun little TikTok kitchen experiment.

What Is the Viral Cheesy Potato Hack, Exactly?This viral recipe is essentially a stuffed potato dough. Mashed potatoes are combined with flour and fat, shaped into a flat round, filled with cheese or other add-ins, then sealed and cooked until crisp.

The result lands somewhere between a potato pancake, a bread and a very loose interpretation of pizza, depending on how it’s filled and cooked.

Why the Cheesy Potato Hack Is TrickyPotato dough is forgiving in flavor but not always in structure. If it’s too large, too thin or overfilled, it can split open while cooking, which I found out the hard way. Heat method matters, too. High heat helps crisp the outside, but it can also cause weak seams to fail.

Everything You Need To Make the Viral Cheesy PotatoFor this recipe, you need large, peeled potatoes, melted butter and flour. From there, fillings can vary. I used mozzarella and chorizo in one version and just cheese in another. Seasoning is optional but highly recommended! I added seasoned salt and Sazon Complete to mine.

You will also need oil and plastic wrap for shaping your dough.

How To Make the Viral Cheesy Potato RecipeCook and mash the potatoes until smooth, then mix in butter and flour until a soft dough forms. As you're mashing it, it may start to feel like mashing Play-Doh. Shape the dough into a large circle on oiled plastic wrap, add fillings to the center and carefully fold and seal the dough around them.
Courtesy Angel Albring
Cooking can be done in an air fryer or deep fryer, though results vary significantly depending on size and sealing. Smaller portions are easier to manage and hold together better.
Courtesy Angel Albring
In my first attempt, I made the dough too big and added too much chorizo to it. When I cooked it in the air fryer, it fell apart. That being said, it was still edible and delicious. In my second attempt, I left out the chorizo, made the dough into small balls and deep fried it. They fell apart.
Courtesy Angel Albring
In the final attempt, I made the dough a lot smaller than in the first attempt and filled it with cheese only. I cooked it in the air fryer for 8 minutes at 400 degrees. I flipped it and cooked it another 6 minutes. It turned out perfect! This would be an amazing cheesy bread with marinara sauce.

My Honest ThoughtsThe large version with chorizo fell apart in the air fryer, but it still tasted great. Structurally, it was a mess. Flavor-wise, it absolutely worked. Deep frying was worse. That version failed completely and is not something I’d recommend repeating.
Courtesy Angel Albring
Where this hack really shines is in smaller portions. Making individual potatobreads with just cheese, seasoning the dough well and air frying them delivered the best result by far. My husband described it as a potato-based pizza.
Courtesy Angel Albring
Aside from keeping portions small, make sure you seal the dough thoroughly and don’t overload the filling. Season the potato mixture generously because it really does make a big difference. Cheese-only versions are more stable than meat-filled ones, especially for air frying, but the meat version was savory and comforting.
Courtesy Angel Albring
If you’re expecting perfection, this may not be your recipe. But if you’re looking for a quick lunch or snack that feels indulgent and comforting, this hack is worth experimenting with.

Jeff Goldblum Makes Unexpected Appearance with Rising Pop Star
Laufey had a special surprise for her fans at her Manchester show on Wednesday.
The Chinese-Icelandic singer is currently on the European leg of her A Matter of Time Tour, supporting her third studio album that she released last August. Built into her setlist, Laufey also sings a surprise song, and sometimes brings out a special guest to perform with her.
Laufey kicked off the European Tour on Feb. 18 in Zurich and has been playing her newest song, "How I Get," as the surprise song for the first nine shows in honor of A Matter of Time: The Final Hour, the deluxe version of the record, coming out on April 10. But the audience at her sold-out show in Manchester's Co-op Live received an exciting special guest.

For one of the surprise songs, Laufey brought out iconic actor Jeff Goldblum to play the piano and sing a cover of "Misty" by Erroll Garner. Known as one of the most popular jazz songs of this century, many other iconic artists have recorded their own version of the 1954 jazz standard, including Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Stevens, Angelica Hale, Chase Eagleson and Laufey herself. Her cover of "Misty" is the 11th track of her second studio album, Bewitched.
A day later, the Jurassic Parkactor shared three photos with Laufey backstage on social media, writing that it was "an honor and privilege to join @laufey at her Manchester show performing 'Misty' - a favorite song of both of ours. 🫶🏻💐."
Moments after Goldblum posted on Instagram, Laufey commented on the photos, writing "YOURE THE BEST !!!!! 🤍," and reposting them.
View this post on InstagramThis is not the first time Goldblum has shared publicly about his love for Laufey and her music. Back in August 2025, the 73-year-old revealed to the New York Times that his "song of the summer" was Laufey's "Lover Girl," the third single from A Matter of Time. In addition, during his performances with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra in Los Angeles, Goldblum brought out the "California and Me" singer to perform a cover of "Manhattan" with him at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, this past January.

Goldblum has been acting since the 1970s, starting with his debut film in Death Wish in 1974. He then went on to appear and star in many films throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, including the blockbuster moviesJurassic Park and Independence Day, along with their sequels. On top of acting, Goldblum has always had a love for music and jazz. He grew up learning how to play the piano and began performing publicly around Pittsburgh when he was 15 years old. But, a professional music career did not happen until he started his own jazz band, Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, in the mid 1990s in Los Angeles.
Last month, Goldblum announced that he will be going on the Night Blooms World Tour with The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra around Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe and Canada this coming spring and summer. The group also does occasional shows around Los Angeles.
View this post on InstagramBorn as Laufey Lín Bing Jónsdóttir, but just goes by Laufey on stage, she began her professional music career at 15 years old as a cello soloist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. After performing on Island Got Talent and The Voice Island as a teenager and graduating from Berklee College of Music, she released her debut album, Everything I Know About Love, in 2022. A year later, she released her second album, Bewitched, which won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and produced the viral single, "From The Start." Her third album, A Matter of Time, also won the same Grammy last month.
Laufey's European leg of the A Matter of Time Tour will conclude on March 22 at the Auditori de Forum in Barcelona, then continue again in Asia and Australia over the summer.

Bianca Censori Stuns in Leather After Judge Warns Her to ‘Dress Appropriately’ in Court
Bianca Censori visited a Los Angeles courthouse yesterday, and if there weren’t a gazillion flashbulbs taking her picture as she left, it’s likely no one would have even noticed.
An architect and the S.O. of hip-hop mogul Kanye West, Censori is synonymous with provocative fashion choices, oftentimes wearing, well, not a lot. See: her famous trip down the 67th Grammys red carpet in a literal naked dress. Or her no-pants sculptural look at the 2024 Marni RTW FW show in Milan. Or her shocking string bikini post on Instagram.
Her court-date look was the exact opposite of all the above. It was conservative, monochromatic, and simple -- and yet, it had everyone doing a double take.
View this post on InstagramDressed in all-black, Censori wore a midi-length leather pencil skirt with a cardigan buttoned from top to bottom. She finished the look with a black designer bag, silver stilettos, and wire-rimmed eyeglasses. With her hair pulled back into a slick bun, she walked slowly to her black Mercedes-Maybach, her hands tucked into her skirt pockets and her gaze low.
In February, Censori was warned to “dress appropriately” for court, with Judge Brock T. Hammond saying everyone “must comply with the basic dress code.” Censori was summoned to the courthouse in downtown L.A. to testify in a case concerning West's Malibu mansion.
According to Page Six, the case was filed by a construction worker who claimed he was fired for raising safety concerns over the abode and wasn’t properly paid for his work.

"Katie Holmes frequently leans into minimalist silhouettes that echo Carolyn’s aesthetic. A slip skirt paired with a simple knit or shirt feels elegant without trying too hard," Matos says.
How women over 50 can recreate the look: The stylist calls a slip skirt a "fantastic alternative to trousers" for women over 50.
"It moves beautifully and can be styled with boots, flats or heels depending on the occasion," she reveals.

According to Matos, this look perfectly captures the kind of restraint Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was known for. The outfit is clean and tailored, and the accessories are subtle but intentional. Nothing is competing for attention. Everything feels balanced.
How women over 50 can recreate the look: The stylist says accessories should "finish the look, not overwhelm it."
"Think small gold hoops, a classic watch, refined sunglasses or a simple leather bag. When the pieces are minimal and chosen well, the entire outfit feels more elevated and sophisticated," she says.

"Rosie Huntington-Whiteley often channels the same clean minimalism Carolyn was known for. This camel coat look works because the silhouette is structured but not stiff, and the palette stays neutral," Matos tells Parade.
How women over 50 can recreate the look: The stylist calls a camel coat "one of the smartest investments" for women over 50.
"It instantly elevates denim, tailoring or even a knit dress. Look for strong tailoring and beautiful wool. That’s where the polish comes from," she says.

'Outlander': Does Fergus Die in Season 8? Fans Are Worried After New Teaser
The premiere of Outlander Season 8 left many viewers wondering: Does Fergus die?
On Friday, March 6, the highly anticipated final season of the Starz series, based on the book series written by Diana Gabaldon, kicked off. But viewers are worried about Fergus' fate after a teaser shared at the end of the episode.
Warning: Spoilers for Season 8, Episode 1 are ahead.
In the Season 8 premiere, viewers learned that Fergus (César Domboy) was illegally printing and selling political pamphlets from his print shop. This is something that he and his adopted father, Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), did in the past, only in Edinburgh, Scotland. Except, the circumstances were very different this time.
"The British dinna forgive sedition," Jamie warned after finding the pamphlets in Fergus' Philadelphia print shop.
"I better not get caught, then," Fergus replied, adding, "Don't worry, I'm doing everything you taught me."
Jamie pointed out, "The difference is you have a family now," to which Fergus responded, "You had a family then."
"They were safe in the Highlands, not with me in Edinburgh," Jamie insisted. "There wasn't a war, then."
Fergus explained, "Which is why this work is more vital than what we did before." But Jamie pressed, "Which is why it's also more dangerous."
To conclude the conversation, Fergus said, "In these times, there's little one can do that isn't dangerous. If I'm going to be killed for something, I should like it to be something that matters." He then said in French, "The pen is my sword."
I swear, if something happened to Fergus... I'll be laid down in my bed crying for weeks #outlander @Outlander_STARZ
WE'RE BAAAAAAACCCKKKKK!!!! pic.twitter.com/bymT47Fs3S
At the end of the Season 8 premiere, a teaser for the rest of the season played. One scene in particular had some fans worried about Fergus' fate. A quick shot showed Fegus' wife, Marsali (Lauren Lyle), screaming out in horror.
On X, one fan posted a screenshot of Marsali's anguished face, declaring, "I swear, if something happened to Fergus... I'll be laid down in my bed crying for weeks #outlander."
Translated from Italian, another Outlander fan wrote on X, "Well, they're all back together, the fact that they lingered on the bees isn't a great omen, and the trailer at the end for the whole season where Marsali screams doesn't reassure me. If something happens to Fergus, I'll smash everything."
Although Fergus does not die in the Outlander book series, could the show's storyline kill off the beloved character? What do you think?

Beloved '00s R&B Singer Forced to Cancel Tour Due to Serious Health Issues
Fans hoping to see Jeremih join the upcoming Boys 4 Life tour will have to wait a little longer.
The beloved 2000s R&B singer has been forced to step away from the tour lineup due to ongoing health concerns, according to a new update from his team. The 38-year-old was originally scheduled to perform alongside Bow Wow and B2K on the nostalgic tour celebrating some of the era’s biggest hits.
The news was first shared by the singer on Instagram on Friday, March 6, where he revealed that a medical issue is preventing him from traveling and performing at this time. “Due to a serious medical condition, Jeremih will be unable to participate in the upcoming B2K tour scheduled to begin in March,” the caption read. “He has been dealing with a health issue, and his condition continues to be closely monitored by his doctor.”
View this post on InstagramIn a separate statement to TMZ, Jeremih’s manager confirmed the situation while asking fans for patience as the singer focuses on getting better: “[Jeremih's] condition continues to be closely monitored by his doctor. Jeremih and his team are focused on his care and recovery and are deeply grateful for the understanding, patience, and continued support from fans, partners, and the touring team during this time.”
Details about the specific health issue have not been made public.
Some fans had already begun to suspect that something was off after Bow Wow recently posted a promotional flyer for the Boys 4 Life tour that noticeably left Jeremih’s name off the lineup. The rapper also hinted at behind-the-scenes frustrations in a separate social media post, criticizing unnamed individuals for not putting in enough work for the tour.
Jeremih’s health news comes as another R&B artist has recently spoken openly about their own medical struggles. Earlier this year, Ray J revealed that he is currently on strict bedrest while doctors monitor a serious heart condition.

The singer told TMZ he has been prescribed multiple medications, including Jardiance and Entresto—both commonly used for patients at risk of heart failure—as well as the cholesterol drug Lipitor. Doctors also ordered him to completely stop drinking alcohol and smoking.
After a hospitalization for pneumonia and heart pain, Ray J later admitted on social media, “I f**ked up. I thought I was a big [shot], so I could handle all the alcohol. I could handle all the Adderall. I could handle all the drugs, but I couldn’t. And it curbed my time here.” He suggested he only has a year or so left to live, but it is unclear the severity of his condition.
'Heated Rivalry' Creator to Produce New Netflix Series
The director and filmmaker behind the hit TV show Heated Rivalry, Jacob Tierney, is set to head the creation of a new Netflix drama series titled Alexander, which follows the tale of the ancient Greek military commander Alexander the Great and his relationship with his mentor, the great philosopher Aristotle.
Netflix revealed on Thursday that Tierney will write, direct and executive produce the new series as an adaptation of the 2010 novel The Golden Mean by Annabel Lyon. Aggregate Films, the production company founded by Arrested Development star Jason Bateman and producer Michael Costigan, will also executive produce the series alongside Tierney.

According to Netflix, the period piece will address themes of "forbidden love, brutal war and ruthless ambitions" as it chronicles Aristotle's quest to tutor the Macedonian prince Alexander just as the Athenian empire begins to fall apart. Like his relationship to the Game Changers book series that inspired the creation of HBO's Heated Rivalry, Tierney said that he had been drawn to The Golden Mean for many years and that he had been "dreaming of telling this story ever since."
Netflix has yet to announce any casting updates or news about a potential release date for the new series.
The news about Alexander comes on the heels of Tierney's major win at Thursday's annual GLAAD Media Awards, during which the filmmaker won the award for Outstanding New TV Series for Heated Rivalry starring breakout stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.

"Making queer art is hard — it's hard to get it made, it's hard to get it seen," Tierney said during his acceptance speech. "We owe so much to the shows that come before us, as problematic as some of them may be. Those shows laid the groundwork for where we are." He then proceeded to list some of the most influential LGBTQ+ shows that have paved the way for Heated Rivalry, including Will and Grace, The L Word and Queer as Folk.
Julianne Moore Enjoys Rare Family Outing With Husband Bart Freundlich and Son Caleb
Julianne Moore spent quality time with her husband, Bart Freundlich, and their son, Caleb Freundlich, during a rare public outing for the trio.
The Oscar winner, 65, posed for photos alongside the director, 56, and the couple’s eldest child, 28, on the red carpet at the 10th annual Love Rocks NYC benefit concert for God’s Love We Deliver in New York City on Thursday, March 5. Moore stood in the middle as the three wrapped their arms around each other and smiled for the cameras.
Moore looked stylish in a corduroy jacket, matching pants and a black shirt, while the father-son duo coordinated in black puffer coats. Caleb paired his outerwear with a black shirt, a button-down and black pants as Bart opted for a gray vest, white shirt and dark jeans.
Moore and Bart met when he directed her film The Myth of Fingerprints in 1996. The following year, the pair welcomed Caleb in December, while their daughter, Liv, arrived in April 2002. Moore and Bart subsequently tied the knot in August 2003.
Caleb has followed in his famous parents’ footsteps by pursuing a creative path. Since graduating from NYU Steinhardt in 2022 with a master’s degree in music, he has worked as a composer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is also an adjunct professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where he teaches music production for animation.

In a 2022 interview with Shoutout LA, Caleb revealed how his parents influenced his passion for music.
“It definitely all started with my parents,” he explained at the time. “They always wished they could play an instrument and so they were adamant on me learning one when I was young. They were supportive no matter how it sounded.”
As for his personal life, Caleb previously announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Kibriyaá, in August 2024.
Although Moore and Bart’s 23-year-old daughter, Liv, was not present for their latest family outing, she has also ventured into the spotlight over the years. She had roles in two of her parents’ films—2005’s Trust the Man and 2009’s The Rebound—and later made her modeling debut in 2017. Liv graduated from Northwestern University in June 2024 with a degree in English and has since worked as an assistant at talent agency WME and production company Project Infinity.
In June 2025, Moore opened up about remaining involved in her adult children’s lives after they left home.
“It’s a true transition for yourself as a parent and it’s a big transition for your family, and I think the one thing that was helpful to me that somebody told me is that it is another developmental stage,” she said on BBC Radio’s Woman’s Hour at the time. “A lot of people would say to me, ‘Oh, congratulations, you did it,’ like when my kids went off to college. I’m like, ‘I don’t feel done.’ And you’re not done, you’re never done.”
She continued: “But the stage of them transitioning from your house into university or a job or whatever, that’s another place for them developmentally and it’s another place for you developmentally. So you go, ‘Oh, OK, I did this part. Now I’m in this part.’ It’s not like it’s over. But it’s like, it’s an opportunity to kind of take another step. And knowing that is kind of a way of dealing with the grief of that sort of parenting stage [of] being finished and knowing that you have another one in front of you.”
Iconic 10-Film Horror Franchise Will Finally Stream in One Place for the First Time Ever
I have one question for you—do you want to play a game?
If the answer is yes, or if you're just interested in a movie marathon of the Saw franchise, Netflix just made it a whole lot easier.
Horror fans, rejoice, because Halloween is coming early this year. For the first time ever, nine of the films in the iconic horror franchise will be available to stream in one place, making it easier than ever to experience Jigsaw's twisted legacy.
Before this, the Sawmovies never streamed together on a single platform at once. In recent years, the films jumped between services, with portions of the franchise appearing on Peacock before being moved entirely. The most recent time the bulk of the franchise was available together was in June 2024, when the first seven installments could be streamed on Hulu.
When Will All 9 Saw Movies Begin Streaming on Netflix?Starting on Thursday, March 19, 2026, Jigsaw will make Netflix his streaming home for the foreseeable future, so you can watch all the films under one subscription.
From the first-entry into the terrifying and deadly traps set in the original 2004 classic to the most recent installments, this makes for the perfect opportunity to get fully caught up and immersed in the horror.
Regardless of whether you're a die-hard fan or discovering it for the first time, it's now easier to steam to appreciate all the twists along with the evolution of the franchise's signature style.
How Many Saw Movies Are There?There are a total of 10 movies set within the Saw universe.
The nine main installments—Saw (2004), Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Saw IV (2007), Saw V (2008), Saw VI (2009), Saw X (2023), Saw: 3D The Final Chapter (2010) and Jigsaw (2017)—will all be headed to the streaming giant for your viewing pleasure.
Sadly, the one that many have found to be one of the strongest in the franchise, the spin-off, Spiral, released in 2021, starring Chris Rock and set in the same universe, will not be available.
What Is the Saw Franchise About?Since its debut on the big screen in 2004, Saw has become one of the best and most influential horror franchises of the 21st century.
What started as an independent film, created by James Wan (the brains behind The Conjuring and Insidious franchises) and Leigh Whannell (also behind the Insidious franchise) in 2001, spawned into a billion-dollar franchise thanks to all the subsequent films and sequels.

— SawUpdates (@saw_update) March 4, 2026For a time, new film releases were timed to Halloween up until 2010, before the hype died down a bit, with the eighth film coming in 2017. The franchise saw a full modern-day revival thanks to the most recent installment, Saw X, in 2023.
Across all the films, on-screen victims and audiences are invited to play a sadistic game with Jigsaw, a creepy doll riding a tiny bike, masterminded by John Kramer (TobinBell).
Despite the gruesome traps and outcomes, Kramer wasn't a villain in the traditional sense, as his twisted philosophy thrived on teaching moral lessons to his victims, often targeting those who made harmful or selfish decisions and forcing them to take responsibility and reflect.
Sometimes, he'd even leave a sliver of hope for survival—if the lesson was learned and growth was achieved.
3-Time Grammy Winner Releases New Song on Charity Album
Olivia Rodrigo has released a new cover for War Child Records' charity album, HELP(2). The pop star shared the release via her Instagram story, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to War Child's decade-spanning mission
Rodrigo wrote, "HELP(2) is out now and every stream & purchase supports @warchilduk in their efforts to help children living through the unthinkable. So many wonderful artists I admire are on the album and I am honored to have been able to be a part of it."
Rodrigo, featured as the closing track on the HELP(2) record, delivered a stunning rendition of "The Book of Love" by The Magnetic Fields. Her emotional vocals over soft and polished instrumentation juxtapose the 1999 song's original indie feel, emphasizing the themes of tenderness of vulnerability.
HELP(2) marks the second major charity compilation produced by War Child Records, following the landmark 1995 release. War Child's mission is to amplify the voices of children impacted by conflict and raise necessary funds and awareness for them. At the time of the first HELP album's release, 10% of the world's children were affected by conflict. By the release of this second volume, that statistic has nearly doubled, with over 520 million children worldwide now experiencing mass conflict.

The 1995 HELP record featured then-rising artists like Oasis, Radiohead, Blur, Portishead and Massive Attack. The sophomore charity album mimics this strategy, recruiting modern icons such as Rodrigo, Arctic Monkeys, Beabadoobee and Big Thief to participate on the record.
Produced by James Ford at Abbey Road Studios, the album includes accompanying video footage highlighting the artists' time in the studio. The visual component was overseen by Oscar Award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Glazer. Inspired by a "By Children, For Children” concept, a team tasked children in conflict zones to serve as the cinematographers, providing an intimate and resilient feel to the project.

'Fire Country' Star Uses New Role on Show to Send Powerful Message
Fire Country Season 4 is back after a very long hiatus. One star looked forward to the second half of the season thanks to a new role with the hit CBS drama.
Diane Farr (Sharon) stepped behind the camera to direct an episode of Fire Country this season. The fan favorite actress revealed the news on social media while sharing a powerful message about the entertainment industry.
Taking to Instagram, Farr posted a carousel of photos in a video showcasing her directorial experience. Each slide celebrated all the other female crew members—from showrunners to directors and camera operators.
Farr used her experience to highlight the female filmmakers she works with regularly, showing how far the industry has come regarding inclusivity but also how far there is to go for women in show business.
“When I came up on sets I was THE ONLY female in every cast and often only woman on the entire set. Everyday. It took 20 years before I worked with my first director,” was written on one slide showcasing Farr on the Fire Country set.
The actress went on to explain that work still needs to be done to help women, noting that only a small part of the 450 people working on Fire Country are women. Farr did give a shout-out to the male crew members on set who are inclusive.
Related: Is ‘Fire Country’ Bringing Back a Fan-Favorite Character?
In her caption, she also expressed her gratitude to those in Fire Country who championed her and helped her try her hand at directing. She recalled the pivotal conversation she had with a professor at age 19 that led her to fight for women in the industry.
“At 19 years old I genuinely asked her, “don’t all plays have equal parts for women?”I think back to her reaction now as a female who has made a living in #TV for 30 years. She CLEARLY wanted to scream and probably longed to tell me to run from our field. But she simply said, There are not nearly equal roles for women on stage or screen or off for that matter. But I’m hoping you might change that, Diane,” she shared.
Farr continues her work in helping to make a change for female filmmakers. Directing an episode of Fire Country is a part of that, though she was equally as thrilled to get the push she needed to do it.
There is no word yet on which episode Farr directed or when it will air.
Fire Country airs Fridays at 9/8c on CBS.

Go-Gos Manager Shares the Funniest Story About Their Iconic Bath Towel Album Cover Shoot
Believe it or not, before the popular '80s band the Go-Gos hit the bigtime, there was a moment in time when they were punk rocking around Los Angeles on a shoestring budget. It's true! Over on the official Go-Gos Instagram, they just shared a hilarious story about the photo shoot props used in the cover art for their debut album Beauty and the Beat, which was released in 1981.
The iconic cover for the Beauty and the Beat album depicts all five members of the super-cool girl group wrapped in white bath towels, dawning full cream facial masks (this was before sheet masks, people). A day at the spa, perhaps, is the story this photo may have been trying to tell in its time. But based on the actual first-person story about the photo shoot shared from behind the scenes, the Go-Gos were not actually lapping it up at a luxurious LA spa. Quite the opposite, in fact.
The wild backstory about the album cover, as attributed to Ginger Canzoneri, the original manager of 1980s power pop group, who also helped art direct the shoot, reads: "I gave the girls strict instructions not to get the towels dirty because I had to return them to Macy's." Canzoneri then points out, "Someone somewhere bought towels that were worn on the Go-Go's package."
Can you imagine what those towels would have gone for on eBay—if we knew then what we know know and, you know, if eBay had existed then?
View this post on InstagramThe Go-Gos famously included Belinda Carlisle (lead vocals), Charlotte Caffey (lead guitar and keyboards), Jane Wiedlin (rhythm guitar), Gina Schock (drums), and Kathy Valentine (bass). Songs on the Beauty and the Beat album include several unforgettable hits, including "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed," two songs permanently imprinted on many Gen X hearts.
