Paris Jackson provides her honest reaction to the upcoming biopic Michael and her involvement. Michael is a music biopic of the King of Pop, featuring Jaafar Jackson (Michael Jackson's real-life nephew) as the well-known singer. The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua and also features Miles Teller, Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Kat Graham, Laura Harrier, and Larenz Tate.
There was a world where Michael would have already been released. After delays, they also were once set for release next month, in October 2025. However, a series of legal battles caused the film significant challenges, and it is now delayed until April of next year.

A Look At Hollywood’s 2026 Summer Movies Lineup(Photo Credit –YouTube/Facebook)
Summer 2025 has concluded, leaving audiences already anticipating the cinematic offerings ahead. While recent months delivered the MCU’s Fantastic Four: First Steps, DC Universe and James Gunn’s Superman, and Tom Cruise’s final Mission: Impossible installment, to name a few, their conclusion has also precipitated an anticipatory void.
With the ephemeral holiday season approaching and a sparse autumn schedule lacking family-friendly tentpoles, Hollywood’s extraordinary 2026 summer slate seeks to fill that void next year.

Michael Jackson biopic | “Panders to a very specific section of my dad’s fandom,” says Paris Jackson
Paris Jackson gave notes on the script for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael. But those notes were not acted on.
Appreciating we always seem to attract a mix of constructive and, er, ‘less constructive’ pushback on social media when we write about the film, there’s little getting away from the fact that the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, is set to incite a hell of a lot of controversy.

Paris Jackson, the late King of Pop’s daughter, has thrown cold water on Michael, the forthcoming biopic chronicling her father’s life. On September 2, she took to Instagram Stories to air her grievances with the project produced by co-executors of Michael Jackson’s estate, John Branca and John McClain.
After dissecting early script drafts, Paris flagged glaring inaccuracies and outright falsehoods that went unanswered. “Not my monkeys, not my circus,” she declared, making it clear she won’t back a portrayal she finds disingenuous. She also brushed off her brief, surface-level encounters with Colman Domingo, who steps into the shoes of Joe Jackson.

Colman Domingo, who is set to play Joe Jackson, the King of Pop’s father, told People on Wednesday that Paris and her brother Prince Jackson are “very much in support of our film.” The two-time Oscar nominee went on to note that he and Paris “chatted briefly” about Michael, and that she’s been “nothing but lovely and warm.”
Paris later addressed his comments on her Instagram Story, where she confirmed she had “zero percent involvement” in the biopic about her late father.

Almost 40 years after The Smiths broke up, Morrissey is truly leaving the band.
At least the singer’s 50% stake in the iconic Manchester group.
On hiatus from touring this summer and about to start a series of shows in Canada, the East Coast and hitting Smiths stronghold of L.A. on October 25, the man known as Moz has put up for sale his rights to the songs, the name, the merch, and perhaps most importantly and lucratively the publishing.
In a post on Instagram Wednesday, Morrissey said he “has no choice but to offer for sale all of his business interests in ‘The Smiths’ to any interested party / investor.” Possibly running into the tens of millions at least, the successful bidder would purchase:
1. The name ‘The Smiths’, as created by Morrissey.
2. All Smiths artwork, as created by Morrissey.
3. All Smiths merchandising rights.
4. All Smiths songs lyrically / musically.
5. All synchronisation rights.

In an industry where even “Weird Al” Yankovic has a movie about his life story, it’s about time the Boss got his due. But “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” isn’t just another assembly-line biopic — and that’s a blessing — in that it focuses not on the blue-collar troubadour’s glory days, but on the darkest chapter of his career: the narrow, near-suicidal period in which he stepped back from the success of his tour for “The River,” returned to his working-class roots and wrote what many consider to be his greatest album, “Nebraska.”
Too many music-centric movies subscribe to the same formula, dramatizing the arc whereby talented nobodies get discovered, shoot to stardom and then stumble with drugs and infidelity when fame becomes too much, only to be redeemed (“Rocketman”) or buried (“Fade to Black”) in the end.

Prince was arguably the most gifted musician of the second half of the last century, but he didn’t make it easy to be a fan.
He’d charged headlong to the top of the charts and pop culture with a hurricane-force level of talent, savvy and ambition, but once “Purple Rain” made him the global superstar he always knew he would be, he started messing with people — especially his newer fans. Sure, he still had massive hit singles — at least for the next few years — but his music and public profile became progressively stranger and harder to connect with until, by the mid-1990s, all but the most devoted fans had given up.
Of course, he changed that narrative later in life, but although many of his ideas were years or even decades ahead of his time — selling music online, digital subscription plans, bundling albums and merchandise with concert tickets,...

Drake isn't only one of this generation's biggest hit-makers, he's also an avid collector of memorabilia, already purchasing some of Pharrell Williams' chains, including the famous 14-karat N.E.R.D. pendant that the Canadian rapper wore in his video for "Jumbotron S**t Poppin."
He also bought a chain that Frank Ocean wore at the 2021 Met Gala for $1.9 million and spent a little over $1 million at an auction for one of Tupac Shakur's rings.
Now, Drake has added another Shakur piece to his collection, a diamond-filled Death Row pendant, the same one that Shakur is wearing on the cover of his 1996 album, All Eyez on Me.

Guy Ritchie came charging onto the filmmaking scene in 1998 with the invigorating British crime flick "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." He followed up this sleeper hit two years later with "Snatch," which, despite an upgrade in name talent (Ritchie got Brad Pitt to play an amusingly indecipherable bare-knuckle boxer), felt a lot like wheel-spinning by an excitingly talented director who was more worried about not succumbing to the dreaded sophomore slump than challenging himself. Sometimes you've got to make a "Kafka" to get to "King of the Hill."

Mark Wahlberg might have a brand-new movie (Flight Risk) streaming on Starz, but it’s one of his older action thrillers that’s making waves again. Nearly two decades after its theatrical release, Wahlberg’s Shooter has clawed its way back into the streaming spotlight, cracking the Top 10 on Paramount+. At the time of writing, it sits comfortably at #10, proving once again that Wahlberg’s brand of tough-guy thrillers never really goes out of style.
Released in 2007, Shooter follows Bob Lee Swagger (Wahlberg), an expert marksman living off the grid after a traumatic mission. When he’s recruited to stop an assassination attempt, he quickly finds himself double-crossed and on the run,...

Sky has composed some first-look photos from the set of Amadeus, the limited series starring Will Sharpe as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The White Lotus and Too Much star will play the musical genius alongside Paul Bettany (WandaVision), as envious court composer Antonio Salieri, and Gabrielle Creevy (In My Skin) as Constanze Weber, Mozart’s fiercely loyal wife.
Penned by Black Doves writer Joe Barton, Amadeus is a reimagining of Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play, and will expand and interrogate the mythic rivalry of the two composers.
Hero of his own story but villain to history, Salieri’s envy turns vengeful as he uses any means necessary to thwart Mozart and protect his position in the establishment.

Will Sharpe is musical prodigy Wolfgang “Amadeus” Mozart in new photos from the upcoming show Amadeus.
Sky released a first look at the limited series Thursday, with Paul Bettany starring as envious court composer Antonio Salieri and Gabrielle Creevy as Constanze Weber, Mozart’s fiercely loyal wife.
Based on Peter Shaffer’s award-winning stage play, and adapted by Joe Barton (Black Doves, Giri/Haji, The Lazarus Project), the five-part reimagination explores the meteoric rise and mythic downfall of one of history’s most iconic composers — and rock star virtuoso of the 18th century, Mozart.
When 25-year-old Amadeus arrives in bustling 18th-century Vienna, no longer a child prodigy and craving creative freedom, his world collides with two pivotal figures: his fiercely loyal future wife, Constanze Weber, and devoutly religious court composer, Antonio Salieri.

[This story contains spoilers from the season 17 finale of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.]
In the Golden Bachelor spoof finale episode of season 17 of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Frank (Danny DeVito) steps outside of his customarily creepy character when he picks Sam, a seasoned contestant on the parodied reality dating show played by DeVito’s former Taxi co-star Carol Kane, over 20-year-old Cock Chewa — a caricature of Haliey Welch, the originator of the viral “Hawk Tuah” street interview catchphrase — with whom he’s been sleeping with on OnlyFans.
The episode ends with Frank professing his love for Sam and offering her his gold rose, which she accepts, before the pair shares a passionate kiss in the rain. But according to It’s Always Sunny star and executive producer Charlie Day, there could be more to the story.

When Disney announced its $4.05 billion acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, it marked a seismic shift in the entertainment landscape, bringing iconic franchises like Star Wars and Indiana Jones under the Mouse House umbrella. But this wasn’t the start of their relationship—it was the culmination of decades of creative synergies.
Long before the deal, Lucasfilm and Disney (along with its owned entities) had forged a bond through groundbreaking theme park attractions, media broadcasts, and mutual respect for storytelling innovation.
This history reveals how two Hollywood powerhouses intertwined, setting the stage for what would become one of the most lucrative partnerships in pop culture.

For a guy who grew up loving An American Werewolf in London and Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video, Colin Farrell loved how he was the subject of a “justifiably glorified magic trick.”
While promoting the HBO limited series The Penguin at the recent Deadline Contenders at HBO Max event, Farrell recalled how The Batman writer-director Matt Reeves first approached him about becoming an unrecognizable villain named Oswald Cobblepot. At first, Farrell had some playful suggestions for the introduction of his Gotham gangster, like how he could maybe present as a skinny scoundrel. Or better yet, why couldn’t he be reimagined as a long and elegant evildoer?
But Reeves and prosthetics designer Mike Marino had something far more drastic in mind.
“I’ve always loved practical things in cinema and film,” said Farrell, who was joined on the Contenders dais with Marino, showrunner/EP Lauren LeFranc, casting director Suzanne Ryan,...

Donny Osmond is recalling a funny memory with Michael Jackson.
Like Michael, the 67-year-old singer rose to fame when he was young as part of a musical group with his siblings.
While Michael found transitioning to a solo career easy and met success in the music industry, Donny struggled to break away from the image he built up as a member of The Osmonds.
Donny recently shared a clip to his Instagram where he revealed the “offensive” career advice the late “Thriller” singer once gave him.

“The name Donny Osmond was a joke, years ago,” the singer revealed in the clip. “I mean, if you said you like Donny Osmond music, you were ousted.”

The Day of the Jackal showrunner Ronan Bennett is reimagining 1969 war movie Army of Shadows for Channel 4 and Canal+, shifting the story from the French resistance in World War II to a near-future authoritarian Britain.
Bennett is teaming with Studiocanal and Patrick Melrose producer Two Cities Television on Army of Shadows, loosely based on Jean Pierre Melville’s movie starring Lino Ventura and Joseph Kessel’s 1943 book of the same name.
Using the underlying works of Army of Shadows, Bennett’s show is set in a near-future authoritarian Britain. Under de facto American occupation, a former British Army officer builds a covert resistance cell from scratch — navigating betrayal, moral compromise and the tension between patience and action — as young recruits fight to reclaim their country and their futures. The show will follow this British resistance across six episodes from first kills and internal betrayals to propaganda campaigns, internment camps,...

Movies are full of stars and directors playing heightened versions of themselves. Indeed, they don’t come much bigger than Robert Altman’s The Player (1992), in which Tim Robbins played a ruthless producer against a backdrop of stars including Cher, Bruce Willis, Julia Roberts, Burt Reynolds and Jack Lemmon. But, until The Studio came along, TV shows have always played by different rules. For Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s show, Hollywood legends have been queuing up, from Martin Scorsese, to Ron Howard, Olivia Wilde, Anthony Mackie, Ice Cube, Charlize Theron, Ted Sarandos, Johnny Knoxville and Aaron Sorkin.
In non-industry comedies, however, playing yourself is quite the rarity. Here are ten examples of celebrities who were prepared to go all-in for the small screen…

CBS is extending its partnership with Dick Clark Productions, sealing a new five-year deal to keep the American Music Awards on the Eye network and Paramount+ starting in 2026. The news comes following CBS’ broadcast this May of the 2025 American Music Awards, hosted by Jennifer Lopez.
The 2025 AMAs repped a revival of the awards show after it wasn’t held in 2023 or 2024.

Amy Irving knows how to give a great gift.
The "Carrie" and "Yentl" actress and singer, who was married to director Steven Spielberg from 1985-1989, called in a few favors when Spielberg's 40th birthday rolled around in late 1986 and commissioned a short documentary to be made for him, which turned out to be a cross between a parody of Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane" and a "This is Your Life"-style walk down memory lane. Dan Aykroyd and John Candy effectively recreate the opening of "Citizen Kane," with Aykroyd narrating a newsreel about Spielberg's 40th birthday before he takes the role of a fast-talking editor, barking orders to Candy, who's playing a reporter trying to get to the bottom of who the real Spielberg is and why he makes the decisions he does.
