Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, is the undeniable king of YouTube, being the first to hit many of the milestones that many channels hit without a sweat today. And while he has already semi-retired from his content grind, an announcement made on July 17th, 2025, posted through his YouTube’s exclusive member channel has sparked concern among longtime followers, making them question if PewDiePie is stepping away from the platform entirely.

Dog lovers around the world may find it hard to look their male, canine friends in the eyes again after watching Genndy Tartakovsky’s upcoming adult animated movie Fixed.
The R-rated comedy follows the adventures of Bull an average, all-around good dog who discovers he’s going to be taken to the vet to be neutered in the morning by his owners, exasperated by his constant humping of grandma’s leg.
As the gravity of this life-altering event sets in, Bull realizes he needs one last adventure with his pack of best friends in the last 24 hours with his balls intact.
Netflix has released a red band director’s cut trailer for the movie – giving a taster of the whacky boundary-pushing animation ahead of its launch on the platform on August 13.

As the sequel to Spaceballs dropped its first teaser trailer this week, many of the headlines focused on the return of Mel Brooks — about to celebrate his 99th birthday! — as Yogurt. There’s Mel in the sneak peek, looking spry in his Spaceballs: The Sweatshirt outfit.
While performing at Brooks’ age is a crazy accomplishment, we’ve seen him continue to act in recent years on shows like Only Murders in the Building and his own History of the World: Part II. The genuinely remarkable cast announcement for Spaceballs 2 is the return of Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet.
Moranis, one of the most successful comedy actors of the 1980s thanks to films like Ghostbusters and Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, hasn’t been seen on the big screen since 1996’s Big Bully with Tom Arnold.

Update: The new Spaceballs movie is turning into a family affair. THR reports that Lewis Pullman (Thunderbolts*) is in talks to join his father, Bill Pullman, in the upcoming Spaceballs sequel. As you might expect, the younger Pullman will play the son of Queen Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) and Lone Starr (Bill Pullman), who is named Starburst.

The Schwartz is truly with us all today! Not only is the iconic Mel Brooks returning as Yogurt for Amazon MGM Studio's highly anticipated Spaceballs 2, but some of the heavyweights from the first film are also back: Rick Moranis and Bill Pullman are reprising their respective roles as Dark Helmet and Lone Starr, according to Deadline, with Keke Palmer also joining the cast. This marks the first return to the screen for Moranis in years, so get ready to "watch evil triumph," as Dark Helmet says, because "good is dumb."
Plot details on the film remain unclear, but Moranis, Pullman and Brooks appear to be gearing up for more adventures on Druidia, decades after Pullman's Lone Starr first saved Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) from the malicious Spaceballs in one of the most iconic Star Warsparodies ever made.

Though the original series had its cult following, the franchise only became a global hit with Star Trek: The Next Generation. Starring Sir Patrick Stewart, along with an ensemble cast of the bridge crew, the show gained traction by its third season and became a worldwide phenomenon, reviving the franchise.
Many celebrities have been fans of the sci-fi show, with some of them even being a part of Tng, like Whoopi Goldberg and LeVar Burton. Similarly, Robin Williams was also a fan and was reportedly enthusiastic about joining the franchise as a guest star. The writers had also written a part for him, but he ultimately could not join.

Genndy Tartakovsky’s “Fixed” shouldn’t exist.
It’s a traditionally animated, R-rated sex comedy about a dog who, on the eve of getting snipped, embarks on an unhinged odyssey in the big city. The best way to describe it is probably Spike Lee’s “25th Hour” mixed with Disney’s “Lady and the Tramp.”
For a while, it seemed like nobody would actually get to see “Fixed.”
It was a long-held passion project for Tartakovsky, whose “Hotel Transylvania” films have made more than $1 billion for Sony. He wanted to do something radically different and, after years of prodding and pitching, Sony finally let him off the leash. The film was conceived as a co-production between Sony (who would make the movie) and New Line Cinema (who would distribute it), but after the movie was finished, New Line Cinema backed out, sending the movie back to Sony who then had...

TV producers have some useful advice on how to navigate a global entertainment industry threatened by Donald Trump’s tariffs war that appears drawn from a world leaders’ manual on how to survive an Oval Office ambush.
Don’t lose the plot and stay focused. “We have a plan. We’re sticking with the plan and just sort of ignoring the distractions,” Justin Stockman, vp of content development and programming at Canada’s Bell Media, a major co-production player, told the Banff World Media Festival on Tuesday.
Stockman added if anything actually materializes from the U.S. president’s erratic trade policy and threats, deal with it then. “We’re just trying to stay focused,” he said during a panel on international co-financing and co-productions for global content.

Creators can make big dollars recommending mass-produced products on ecommerce hubs like Amazon and TikTok Shop because, as you probably know, affiliate codes do be going crazy sometimes (unless the buyer has Honey installed). But there isn’t as much infrastructure for creators to quickly and easily recommend handmade products from independent sellers.
That’s where Etsy wants to fit in.
The marketplace earned nearly $3 billion last year from sellers who offer over 100 million products–everything from handmade jewelry to art to fursuits, crocheted onesies, full-sized, functional leather horse saddles, and more.
Now, it’s looking to sell a little more by partnering with Mythical‘s Rhett & Link on an official recommendation shop.
Mythical’s digital storefront currently includes recs in several categories: Rhett & Link’s faves from across Etsy, a special Father’s Day collection, an “as seen on Good Mythical Morning” section, and perhaps the most interesting,...

Even after his death in 2004, there’s still only one Russ Meyer, and this, the second solo outing from the Coen brothers’ Ethan, is a sad reminder of the talent he took with him to the grave. Meyer gave big parts to big women in films that shouted about Sex! in great big capital letters, bringing an artistry to the drive-in but never patronizing the sizable blue-collar audience that dug his bawdy humor. Honey Don’t! would benefit from even just a fraction of Meyer’s genius; as it is, there’s a reason why Coen’s film was tucked away in a graveyard slot on the last weekend of the Cannes Film Festival, much like you keep self-raising flour on a shelf that’s near impossible to reach because you don’t really ever use it.

In Honey Don’t!, the latest film in Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke’s intended lesbian B-movie trilogy, Margaret Qualley plays Honey O’Donahue, a tough but glamorous private investigator in Bakersfield, California. Honey is typically in the business of infidelity, taking cases involving suspicious spouses and their philandering partners. But at the start of Coen’s prankish film, which premiered at Cannes and will be released in theaters by Focus Features on Aug. 22, the sleuth finds herself drawn into a higher-stakes mystery. The death of a local woman leads Honey down a slippery path involving religious cults, megalomaniacal pastors and an unexpected romance.
For the most part, Honey Don’t! lives in the same thematic universe as Coen’s first solo narrative venture Drive-Away Dolls, which the director also co-wrote with Cooke.

Cinema is a collaborative medium, and as such, there have been numerous directing teams peppered throughout film history. As with any collaboration, there's no guarantee that the band will be together forever, and sometimes the teams do indeed split up. The Coen brothers, Ethan and Joel, underwent such a creative breakup around the beginning of this decade, with both men moving on to make their own movies without each other. Unlike some creative split-ups, however, the Coens post-breakup works couldn't be more different from one another. Where Joel made 2021's "The Tragedy of Macbeth" an austere, intensely moody Shakespeare adaptation that recalled Ingmar Bergman and Carl Theodor Dreyer, Ethan teamed up with his wife Tricia Cooke to make "Drive-Away Dolls," a mash-up of B-movie tropes (homaging everything from "Badlands" to '60s psychedelia flicks) that retained the Coens' prior interest in dry humor and film noir.

Just last week, it was revealed that the BBC were setting in motion a brand-new Cold War spy drama, Honey, ready to continue the company's trend of producing some of the very best in modern spy thrillers. However, something that failed to be mentioned in the initial announcement was, according to Deadline, the news that Honey will be a prequel to Killing Eve,Phoebe Waller-Bridge's masterful adaptation of the Villanelle series of novels by Luke Jennings, starring both Sandra Oh andJodie Comer.
Although rumors of the prequel have been quietly circulating for some time, this announcement has shocked many in the fanbase who had felt the Killing Eve franchise had fired its last bullet. Well, said fanbase can now rejoice, especially considering the prequel will follow the beloved character of Carolyn Martens, the head of the Russia Section at MI6, played with acclaimed poise by Harry Potter's Fiona Shaw.

Now here's a delicious TV news twist we didn't see coming. When the BBC unveiled plans for a "flirty" Cold War spy drama called Honey just last week, poured from the pen of Extraordinary creator Emma Moran and hailing from Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle, it would be fair to say that the show had our curiosity. But now, courtesy of Deadline, we're discovering that this isn't just a show from the producer of Killing Eve, it's a full-on prequel to Phoebe Waller-Bridge's wildly entertaining thriller series — one set to chart the origins of fan-favourite Carolyn Martens, the head of MI6's Russia Desk. And that has our attention.
Originally played to BAFTA winningly brilliant effect by Fiona Shaw, Carolyn Martens is a master manipulator and one of the most compelling of all Killing Eve's incredibly complex characters, a near-peerless agent whose arc — from multiple time world-saver to...

Fans of the Sandra Oh-led Killing Eve, which ran for four seasons from 2018 to 2022, are getting a prequel series in the form of the BBC’sHoney. The series, which was previously announced, per Deadline, will actually be a prequel series to Killing Eve,which will focus on the story of Carolyn Martens, who, in Killing Eve, was played by Fiona Shaw (the Harry Potter franchise).
Although the fact that Honey will be a prequel series to the Phoebe Waller-Bridge-created Killing Eve was not announced with the series, there were hints that it was going to be a prequel. The lead in Honey is named “Marta” and Sid Gentle Films, which produced Killing Eve, is also producing Honey. The series is being written by Emma Moran, who is the creator of the Disney+ series Extraordinary.

The Critic only aired for two seasons in the 1990s, but three decades later, many fans still remember the series fondly. If there are enough of them interested, they could soon be getting good news with one of the creators of the show teasing a revival.
An animated sitcom, The Critic was created by Simpsons vets Al Jean and Mike Reiss. In a recent post on X, Jean shared an image of The Critic along with a message stating, "Just curious ... how many would like to see [The Critic], with [Jon Lovitz] return[?]" This is certainly not an official announcement that a revival is happening, but Jean seems to be hinting that it could be in the works. Perhaps Jean is testing the fan reactions to see how much interest there would be in a revival before fully committing to the idea. In two days' time, the post has garnered 15.2K likes.

Semi-retired actor Rick Moranis is seldom in the spotlight these days after stepping away from Hollywood to focus on his family in the late 1990s. He's now made a rare public appearance by doing an all-new interview in which he reflected on making the hit filmHoney, I Shrunk the Kids.
Released in 1989, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids starred Moranis as Wayne Szalinski, an inventor who creates a shrinking ray that inadvertently shrinks his own children (along with the neighbor's kids). Per Cinema Relics, Moranis was presented with some of the film's memorable props that he used for his character. It should be a fun watch for fans of Moranis, especially those who particularly enjoyed Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. The interview in full can be viewed below.
Some of the items Moranis looks at and addresses in the interview include Wayne's eyeglasses and his calculator watch. He was also shown...

Floor traffic was packed, charging up from second to third and fourth floors with more exhibition space with an energy reminiscent of Mipcom back in the day. Multiple keynotes, especially those made available to the public, were sold out. Charlie Brooker’s could have given his “Black Mirror” Masterclass twice over and still have had Sro.

The BBC and Zdf have struck a scripted partnership for new high-end drama shows.
The news comes two days after the networks unveiled a new series titled Honey from Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle and Extraordinary writer Emma Moran at Series Mania. They have recently collaborated on the second season of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which is also made with Netflix.
The BBC and Zdf said the collab “will maximise the strengths of two of Europe’s leading public service broadcasters, combining Zdf’s pan European co-production know-how with the BBC’s track record of hugely popular and award-winning scripted titles.”

The news comes two days after the networks unveiled a new series titled Honey from Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle and Extraordinary writer Emma Moran at Series Mania. They have recently collaborated on the second season of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, which is also made with Netflix.
The BBC and Zdf said the collab “will maximise the strengths of two of Europe’s leading public service broadcasters, combining Zdf’s pan European co-production know-how with the BBC’s track record of hugely popular and award-winning scripted titles.”

Step into Samia’s fantasy world and you’ll find an alter ego that looks like her, but is entirely different. She wears a backward baseball cap on top of her long, curly, jet-black hair and sports denim Daisy Dukes. She lives in a balmy, emerald-green wetland. She’s completely unburdened by people’s opinions or expectations. This is Samia’s idealized self, and her name is Kiki Swamp.
As she shares her alter ego’s name, Samia, 28, can’t help but laugh. “I made a Sim of her,” the singer-songwriter says with a chuckle.

The BBC and Zdf are teaming up to co-produce a “flirty,” darkly comic spy drama set in 1980s Berlin and created by Emma Moran, who wrote Disney+ series Extraordinary.
Announced to coincide with Series Mania in Lille, Honey will be made by Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle Films. The six-part series is produced in association with Fifth Season.
Here’s the logline: “East Berlin, 1982. Marta, 24, is a deep cover agent for MI6. Surrounded by enemies and constantly under threat of her cover being blown, she tries her hardest to avoid detection by Friedrich Bauman, the new Head of Counter Espionage for the Stasi.
“Finding herself caught between Friedrich and the reckless, arrogant (and incredibly attractive…) CIA operative Aaron Neeland, she is blind-sided by desire in this Cold War menage-a-trois. The risk of being garrotted or incarcerated is nothing compared to the horrifying ordeal of falling in love.”

Hollywood is no stranger to colossal misfires, but Disney’s live-action Snow White may just take the poisoned apple for the worst casting decisions of the decade. In a world where studios spend millions on research, focus groups, and algorithms to predict audience reception, somehow, somehow, they decided that Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot were the dream duo to revive a beloved classic.

The result? Universal outrage. Some fans despised Zegler for being too woke, while others weren’t thrilled about her trashing the original film. Meanwhile, Gal Gadot, who was supposed to bring the evil Queen to life, instead brought… well, herself, flat delivery, stiff expressions, and the same mystified look she wore throughout all of Wonder Woman 1984. The world collectively asked, does Gal Gadot actually know how to act? No, she does not.

Actress Sherleen Dutt, who has been a part of shows such as Kink and Honey Trap Squad as well as web series Koi Jaye Toh Le Aaye and Shringarika, says that she loves the festival of Holi. She adds that she loves to play with both water and gulaal.
“Holi is all about colours, laughter, and endless fun, and this year, I plan to go party-hopping with my group! We love exploring different Holi parties—ones filled with dance, colours, and water, but without bhang or alcohol. Just pure, high-energy vibes and great music!” she says.
She says, “Definitely pink is my favourite colour. It’s playful, vibrant, and full of life—just like me! It represents joy, warmth, and a mix of strength with a soft side, which I relate to a lot. I enjoy a mix of both! A little gulaal for those who prefer a subtle celebration,...

Romance for indie filmmakers Dusty Mancinelli and Madeleine Sims-Fewer blossomed in the most unexpected of places — as they shot their 2020 debut feature Violation, a relentlessly violent and gory revenge drama set in cottage-country Canada.
“After making our first film, which really dealt with trauma and was very dark, very painful to make and really delved into the dark recesses of our minds, we wanted to make something that was about love,” Sims-Fewer tells The Hollywood Reporter ahead of Honey Bunch, their sophomore feature, having its world premiere in Berlin on Feb. 18.
In their first feature, which bowed at the Toronto Film Festival, Sims-Fewer played a young woman in an unhappy marriage who, with her sister and their husbands, stays at a secluded cottage where unspoken traumas and upsetting sexual violence are gradually revealed.
But on Honey Bunch, the Canadian filmmakers deliberately toned down the dark, bloody material of their first feature.

Apart from her beautiful features, actress Jessica Alba is also among the most bankable actresses in the industry. While the actress is currently going through a separation from Cash Warren, the duo did spend more than two decades together. But before she met Warren and fell in love, she was in a very serious relationship with another famous actor.

Luck was in the air Wednesday night as Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora celebrated the premiere of The Masked Singer Season 13. The panelists started out the show by squishing into an elevator with all of the former winning costumes: Monster, Fox, Night Angel, Sun, Piglet, Queen of Hearts, Firefly, Harp, Medusa, Cow, and Goldfish. Host Nick Cannon then asked if there was “room for four more,” as he was accompanied by all three reigning Buffalos.
Just like in years past, the lucky 13th season premiere introduced a new group of costumes who would duke it out on the main stage for a shot at eventually winning the Golden Mask.

The mystery and the tension in Cassandra, the new Netflix series, are given life by the diverse characters who come with their own varied motivations and energies. The monstrous robot, the female in crisis, and the emasculated men all find a thematic space in the series. In Cassandra, the children too have definite and considerable importance in the narrative. The film’s approach at world-building, one retro and the other modern, is an ambitious endeavor. The cast does a smooth job of presenting both worlds as convincing realities. In this article, we will acquaint ourselves with the cast of Cassandra and contemplate a little over what their characters bring to the narrative.

The best Jessica Alba movies and TV shows include everything from horror movies and superhero efforts to action thrillers, TV shows, and more. Alba started as a child actor when she was 13 and starred in the movies Camp Nowhere and The Secret World of Alex Mack. This led to her picking up her first major television role when she was only 19 and starred in the James Cameron-produced action series Dark Angel.
Since that time, Alba has starred in everything from comic book movies like Sin City and Fantastic Four to horror films like The Eye and romantic comedies like Valentine’s Day. While she has received praise for several roles she has played throughout her career, it has not resulted in many awards.

Martin Portlock and Kit Green are taking on two classic children's characters with a terrifying twist in Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare. Portlock and Green suit up as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, respectively. Instead of being the cheery guides to Neverland that audiences know them to be, Peter Pan is a serial-killing kidnapper, while Tinker Bell is a drug-addicted henchman.
Peter Pan's Neverland Nightmare is the latest installment in the Twisted Childhood Universe, an interconnected franchise of classic children's characters with a slasher spin. The Scott Chambers-produced world began in 2023 with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey and is set to continue with projects like Bambi: The Reckoning and Pinnochio: Unstrung. All installments are building to a crossover film, Poohniverse: Monsters. Assembled, which is planned to go into production this summer.

In a small way, the micro-budgeted U.K. indie “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey” more than pulled its weight in drawing audiences back to theaters two years ago. The bad-taste concept and trailer generated guilty-pleasure viral traction; then the Fathom Events theatrical window was so short, there was no chance for word-of-mouth to spoil the fun. Which was fortunate, as the film itself was an amateurish slog.
You have to give the filmmakers credit, though: They swallowed all criticism (including an impressive sweep of the Golden Raspberries), vowing to plow their considerable profits into making better movies …albeit in the same vein. Last year’s “Honey” sequel was reportedly a significant improvement. Now there’s “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare,” a nasty piece of work — in the sense that it appeals to horror fans with a strong stomach not just for gore but truly unpleasant ideas.

CoSign alum Samia has announced her new album, Bloodless, out April 25th via Grand Jury Music. In advance, she’s released lead single “Bovine Excision” and its accompanying video. Stream it below.
Made with longtime co-producers Caleb Wright and Jake Luppen and frequent songwriting partners Christian Lee Hutson and Raffaela, Bloodless draws inspiration from unsolved mysteries like inexplicable cattle mutilations, the presence of God, and the impossibility of femininity.
“It’s easier to be what someone wants you to be if you give as little as possible,” Samia said in a statement. “I noticed a pattern in my life of wanting to live up to the person I became in someone’s head; you become a lot bigger with distance.”
She added, “I’ve spent the past two decades unintentionally conflating an abstract idea of men with my understanding of God… A significant part of my personality was built around...

Plot: Wendy Darling strikes out in an attempt to rescue her brother Michael from ‘the clutches of the evil Peter Pan.’ Along the way she meets Tinkerbell, who will be seen taking heroin, believing that it’s pixie dust.
Review: It’s always very ambitious for a franchise to announce its plans way ahead of time. It certainly has bit Marvel on the butt, but if you’re going to parody their release schedule, you have to do things full bore. And I think most of us at least chuckled when the Poohniverse was announced. So smack dab in the middle of their release lies Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare, a horror take on the J.M. Barrie classic. And it’s a hell of a lot darker than expected.
Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare is a very dark and twisted take on Peter Pan as he sucks the souls out of children to remain youthful.

Honey Boo Boo Trapped In Kansas City Blizzard
It appears that whenever Alana ‘Honey Boo’ Thompson comes home to Georgia from Colorado, she drives. Her longtime boyfriend, Dralin Caswell is by her side but she rarely flies. It does make sense given that she likely wants to have the freedom to come and go as she pleases when she visits. The last time she made this trek was because she had gotten a brand-new Lexus. Therefore, her family was kind enough to help bring her Og pink car back to Georgia with them. Unfortunately, there was a massive blizzard along the way and they got stuck.

Ten days before the end of 2024, a YouTuber’s exposé uncovered a shocking scandal in the influencer marketing world. Honey, a PayPal-owned browser extension that has spent millions on creator partnerships, seems to have used those deals to rip off partners, deceive consumers, and engage in fraudulent business practices.
“I can’t even begin to fathom how much money has been lost at the hands of this browser extension.”
That quote comes from a video by Kiwi creator MegaLag, who published a 23-minute takedown of Honey’s shady influencer deals. Some of the biggest creators in the world, ranging from MrBeast to Emma Chamberlain to Marques Brownlee, have shilled for the browser extension. As it turns out, those sponsorships may have done more harm than good for creators.
