Exactly 25 years ago, the first ‘Final Destination’ hit cinemas, earning a cult following for its insane death scenes. In the UK, freak accident deaths are up 42 per cent over the last two decades making this next instalment freakier than ever, writes Kyle MacNeill

For their freewheeling comedy – back in cinemas this week – the Coen Brothers sought creative help from super-producer T-Bone Burnett, whose music for the film sparked a folk revival upon its release and launched the careers of many of its contributors. It may be the film’s greatest legacy, writes Xan Brooks

Meghan Markle shed light on how she found a community after she and husband Prince Harry stepped back from their royal duties.
“I have a couple of girlfriends up here — these are stay-at-home moms and working women with normal jobs, not in the public eye,” the Duchess of Sussex, 43, told People in an interview published on Sunday, March 16. “We went from just connecting through our kids to having girls’ nights out or doing Pilates together.”
Meghan explained that she’s not afraid to make an introduction when she walks into a group fitness class.
“I go to group classes that sometimes have 40 to 50 people in them and just walk in like, ‘Hi!’ ” Meghan said. “Of course, at the beginning, that felt like a lot. By the way, I think anybody walking into a yoga class with 50 people when you’re one of the last people that walk in and everyone looks up, it’s going to feel a little uncomfortable!”
Meghan Markle's Life Now: A New Brand, Netflix Show and 'Peace' at Home
While attending a class without her girlfriends, Meghan was told to share encouragement to the person next to her.
“In the middle of the class they said, ‘Great, tell the person on your mat next to you that they’re doing a great job, give them a fist pump.’ And I looked over and there was someone over there, and I was like [miming a fist bump], ‘Well done!’ and then I looked to the other side and there was someone else and I went, ‘Nicely done! Come on, guys!’” she recalled. “I mean, that’s part of how you connect. I love it. It’s the best. I had missed it. It’s awesome.”
Meghan and Harry, 40, moved to Montecito, California, in 2020, where they are raising their son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3. Meghan gushed to the outlet that the community has welcomed her family with open arms.
“Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normalcy as parents and for our children as they do, despite however unique our situation is,” she said.
Why Meghan Markle’s 'With Love, Meghan' Wasn’t Filmed at Her Real House
Meghan has given fans a glimpse of her family life in her recently released Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. In the eight-part show, Meghan shares lifestyle tips while receiving visits from familiar faces. The streaming platform confirmed to Us Weekly earlier this month that With Love, Meghan will return for season 2.
“Oh, how I love ASMR!” she captioned clips from season 1, while gushing over the news of the show’s return. “If you’re loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2! Thanks for joining the party, and an endless thanks to the amazing team and crew who helped bring it all to life! @netflix.”

Let’s be real — pulling off a polished, expensive-looking wardrobe shouldn’t require maxing out your credit card. But there’s an undeniable allure to designer pieces — the kind of effortlessly stylish, well-tailored items that whisper (not scream) luxury. The good news? Looking like old money doesn’t have to cost new money.
After years of hunting down hidden gems, I’ve cracked the code on achieving that high-end aesthetic without the high-end price tag. Think: blazers that look straight off the runway, buttery-soft leggings that rival the cult-favorite ones and accessories that give serious designer lookalike energy.
Scroll on for the ultimate lineup of pieces that will have people asking, “Who makes that?”— and you’ll get to decide if you spill the secret or let them assume you splurged.
1. The Power Blazer: If you love that structured yet relaxed look, this blazer from The Drop delivers a tailored feel at a fraction of the cost. The streamlined cut instantly polishes any outfit!
2. Classic Turtleneck: Turtlenecks have a reputation for exuding quiet wealth (Steve Jobs, anyone?), and this lightweight knit is no exception. Layer it under blazers or wear it solo for a sleek, put-together look.
3. Sky High Platforms: The Versace Medusa Aevitas pumps are the definition of iconic, but if you’re not ready to drop hundreds, this Dream Paris version delivers major drama for less. The sky-high platform, bold ankle strap and luxe satin finish make these heels a statement-maker worthy of any night out.
4. Rich Mom Pants: A great pair of wide-leg pants can instantly elevate an outfit, and these have rich mom energy written all over them. The drapey, effortless silhouette makes them the ultimate power move in pant form.
5. Cozy Mini Boots: Ugg’s Classic Ultra Mini Platform Boots are still going strong, and this lookalike brings the same cozy-meets-cool energy. The real suede gives it an elevated feel, while the plush interior makes every step feel like walking on clouds!

6. Buttery Soft Leggings: If you love the barely-there comfort of Lululemon Align leggings, meet their budget-friendly twin. These high-waisted beauties have that same buttery-soft stretch with a flattering fit that works for workouts and errand runs alike.
7. Timeless Top Handle Bag: A structured bag instantly makes an outfit look more expensive, and this Birkin-inspired find does just that. The top-handle design and sleek silhouette scream luxury without the jaw-dropping price tag.
8. Bold Gold Earrings: Bottega Veneta’s drop earrings are a status symbol, but these lookalikes serve the same bold-yet-minimalist vibe. The chunky gold finish catches the light beautifully, giving any look a luxe finishing touch.
9. Faux Fur: Faux fur is a fast track to looking luxe, and this jacket brings full-on glamour. Whether you’re heading to dinner or just want to make a statement, this plush coat adds drama in the best way possible.
10. Stackable Bracelets – David Yurman bracelets have a timeless appeal, and this twisted cable design nails the aesthetic. The pearl accent adds a touch of elegance, making it the ideal stackable piece for everyday wear.
11. Elevated Lounge Set: This set delivers the same upscale, put-together vibe as Spanx’s AirEssentials line — a gold standard for loungewear. Whether you’re traveling or just running errands, the wide-leg pants and half-zip combo make looking polished a breeze!
12. Quilted Crossbody: Chanel’s Large Classic Handbag is a forever classic, but this quilted crossbody gives you the same timeless look. The chain strap and structured design make it perfect for elevating casual outfits or pairing them with dressier looks.
13. A Wool Coat: Nothing says “I have my life together” like a structured wool coat. This longline peacoat instantly upgrades any outfit — even if you’re just throwing it over leggings on a coffee run.
14. Sleek Leather Slides: Hermes Oran sandals are the definition of understated luxury, and this version nails the aesthetic. The sleek leather and minimalistic cut make these slides a warm-weather staple that looks effortlessly refined.
15. A Simple Timepiece: Quiet luxury is all about understated elegance, and this vintage-inspired watch nails the trend. The sleek gold finish and Roman dial details give it an expensive look without the designer price tag.

Kaitlyn Bristowe is getting real about her ups and downs over the past week.
“Highs and lows this week 
,” Bristowe, 39, wrote via Instagram on Friday, March 14, before listing out her high points. “Extra hot matcha latte, Writing music, Working with horses, Playing cards on a patio, Funny friends, Dogs Movies and cuddling.”
As for her “lows”? “Pms, Cramps that hurt so bad I blacked out, [her dog] Ramen eating plastic needing xrays, Fetal position crying in therapy, Flat tire, Letting go of patterns [and] Feelings being hurt.”
“Gentle reminder that we don’t post the lows ,” she concluded. “Also feeling grateful I GET TO feel.”
Alongside the candid message, Bristowe shared a series of photos including a mirror selfie and an image of her standing alongside a horse in a stable. In one pic, Bristowe smiled for a selfie with her dogs, who sat in the backseat of her car.
The former Bachelorette has been open through the years about her mental health struggles. While reflecting on her time as the lead of the ABC reality series, Bristowe exclusively told Us Weekly that she fell back into a depression while filming.
“I didn’t get anywhere near where I was in that really dark time [in my 20s], but I definitely struggled with depression during the show and while I was facing all that scrutiny,” Bristowe recalled to Us in May 2020. “I saw myself going down that same path, but I had the tools and the self-respect and everything to know that I was OK, and it was just an easier transition for me because I was confident in where I was at as a person.”
She continued: “But I’m just, that’s not who I am. I don’t want to live my life like that, and it had been long enough and I was just so done with feeling numb because Kaitlyn Bristowe loves to feel her feelings and being numb is not doing that. It’s fine to be sad and have your moment and I really sat in my sadness, but it’s about coming out on the other side and what you do with it after.”
Kaitlyn Bristowe Reveals She Skipped Awards Show Due to 'Panic Attack'
Less than two years later, Bristowe got vulnerable in a social media post and shared a no-makeup selfie with tears streaming down her face.
“People don’t understand how happiness and depression can exist simultaneously. I do,” she wrote via Instagram in March 2022. “Swipe to see where I was at this morning, and this first pic is where I’m at hours later. Feeling good. For me.”
At the time, Bristowe wrote, “This is what being hormonal looks like.”
She added, “For some, it’s circumstantial, and for others it’s an every day battle. I do feel lucky to know ‘This too shall pass.’ But just want to send out a virtual hug to everyone … For anyone struggling with depression today, either lay in bed and cry, or get your butt up and do something that makes you happy. Whichever one you choose is OK

Professional soccer player Andrej Lazarov was among more than 50 people who died Sunday, March 16, in a fire at the Pulse club in Kočani in North Macedonia. He was 25.
Lazarov’s club FC Shkupi confirmed the news on the team’s official Facebook page.
The young athlete “lost his life trying to help others escape the fire-stricken space,” the club wrote of his passing. “He suffocated from smoke during his attempts to save lives, showing courage and humanity until the very last moment. His heroic act will forever remain in our memory, as a testament to his noble character and his big heart.”
The club also described Lazarov’s untimely passing as a “huge loss” for the team. “Words are small to describe the pain we are feeling right now, in this tragedy — one of the biggest hit by our club in its history,” the post read.
Soccer Player Anton Walkes Dead at 25 Following a Boating Accident
North Macedonia’s Interior Minister, Panche Toshkovskithe, stated that the fire began around 3:00 a.m. local time during a press conference on Sunday. At least 59 people have died and more than 155 were injured in the blaze, according to Toshkkovskithe.
The Associated Press reported that the fire was likely caused after pyrotechnics on stage hit the ceiling during the band DNK’s set. “We even tried to get out through the bathroom, only to find bars (on the windows),” Marija Taseva, who was at the event, told the AP. “I somehow managed to get out. I fell down the stairs and they ran over me, trampled me. … I barely stayed alive and could hardly breathe.”
The blaze also caused the roof of the building to partially collapse. Authorities have since blocked off the site. An account on X called The Informant also reported that 27 of the injured were treated at Skopje City Hospital, while 23 others were treated at the city’s Clinical Center. “Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski called it a tragic day, urging support for the victims and their families,” the account noted.
Toshkovskithe also said 15 people have been detained for questioning after authorities found out the club was operating without the proper license. “We have grounds for suspicion that there is bribery and corruption in this case,” he also said.

In September 2024, Grinta Agency announced Lazarov had signed to the North Macedonian soccer team.
“We’re happy to announce Andrej Lazarov will be part of FC Shkupi for the 2024/25 season,” the agency wrote on Facebook at the time. “The talented midfielder is back in the league in which he contributed in 15 goals/assists the last time around.”

Actor Justin Theroux and his fiancée Nicole Brydon Bloom have reportedly tied the knot.
Theroux, 53, and Bloom, 30, are now married, according to a report from People published on Sunday, March 16, and after first sparking dating rumors in February 2023. Us Weekly has reached out to reps for both Bloom and Theroux for comment.
In photos shared by TMZ on Sunday, the pair appeared to enjoy a romantic photo shoot on the beach in Tulum, Mexico, over the weekend. The Gilded Age actress wore a white wedding dress while the Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice actor donned a matching white tuxedo.
The pair confirmed their engagement in August 2024, after Theroux got down on one knee while they were attending the 2024 Venice Film Festival together in Italy. Bloom and Theroux had made their red carpet debut earlier that year for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills.
Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom's Relationship Timeline
“He was very romantic,” Bloom recalled during a February appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year, where she joked that Theroux was wearing “full leather” for the special moment. “He did it properly. It was very sweet [and] just the two of us.”
In September 2024, Theroux told The Times of London of his engagement, “Of course, I was nervous proposing. It is a question after all, so the answer isn’t guaranteed. But it was wonderful.”
That same month, the actor revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show that he and Bloom had met at a party through “mutual friends.”
“A friend of mine who was with me, literally the quote was, ‘That’s the one,'” Theroux, who was previously married to Jennifer Aniston from 2015 to 2018, said last year. “Like, we hadn’t even met yet. And I was like, ‘She’s so stunning.’ So I went over and started talking and things like that and it progressed.”
Justin Theroux, Fiancee Nicole Brydon Bloom Attend US Open After Engagement
Theroux went on to joke exclusively with Us in October 2024 that his beloved dog Kuna might appear at his and Bloom’s wedding, whenever that happens to be.
“I don’t know. Who knows?” he teased to Us at the time.
“She was 3 years old when I got her. She was very neglected and in very bad shape, but she really assimilated beautifully,” Theroux continued. “She is a very, as you can see, very kind dog, very gentle dog.” He noted, “I say that it’s the only relationship for which I encourage codependence, because the relationship has to be codependent.”

Everyone always talks about the importance of a good conditioner, but shampoos are discussed a lot less — especially for guys. A high-quality shampoo is essential for strong, shiny hair and a healthy scalp. That said, it’s hard to find one worth writing home about. Just take a brisk walk through the men’s aisle and you’ll notice three-in-one washes galore.
Men’s three-in-one products — or worse, five-in-one products — are loaded with chemicals that dry out the hair, irritate the scalp, strip strands of moisture and disrupt the scalp’s pH. As the saying goes, “To be good at everything is to be great at nothing.” The same is true for products!
Instead of settling for a subpar (albeit convenient) formula, try investing in your haircare routine. You’ll never turn back! This invigorating men’s shampoo is designed for all hair types, whether curly, straight, dry, thick or fine, and contains only the best, most nourishing natural ingredients.
This shampoo includes saw palmetto and vegan biotin to strengthen the hair follicles, reduce thinning and fortify strands. It also contains jojoba protein to restore damaged hair, as well as oh-so-soothing aloe vera to calm the scalp. Jojoba oil and aloe vera work together to mimic the scalp’s natural oil production, all while deeply hydrating your hair from root to tip. If it sounds like a dreamy combination, that’s because it is!
Unlike many shampoos that contain harsh parabens, sulfates, phthalates and other chemicals to cleanse, this vegan formula takes a different approach. Coconut-derived surfactants cleanse the hair and scalp, removing dirt, buildup and oil to reveal shiny, ultra-soft locks. You’ll have touch-worthy hair at all times!
There are a few different scents to choose from, ranging from classic bergamot, sage and patchouli to a tropical coconut alternative and a woodsy cedar pick. The coconut apricot variety is sweet and vacation-like, so if you want to make every day feel like a relaxing getaway, this one has your name all over it. The santal cedar option is smoky, warm and calming; it gives off Western campfire energy. Notes of cedarwood, sandalwood and musk make this pick a manly must-have!
Whichever scent you choose, rest assured that your strands will be vibrant, healthy and lustrous. This is one of Blu Atlas’ top shampoos for a reason, with many reviewers calling it the “best shampoo” they’ve “ever used”.
“I’ve used a lot of shampoos in the past 5+ years. I’ve been trying to find the one and this is it,” one person writes. “I’ve been using this shampoo for at least 6 months and never once did I think about using something else. Absolutely love this shampoo and recommend everyone to try it.”

Olivia Culpo is sharing a glimpse of her growing baby bump one week after announcing her pregnancy.
In a photo shared via her Instagram Story on Sunday, March 16, Culpo, 32, posed for a selfie in a brown loungewear jumpsuit with a gray cardigan and matching brown baseball cap. Culpo gave a soft smile for the camera as she seemingly sat on a bed.
Culpo announced on Monday, March 10, that she and husband Christian McCaffrey are expecting their first baby. “Next chapter, motherhood 
,” she wrote via Instagram, sharing black-and-white images from a maternity photo shoot.
After sharing the pregnancy news, Olivia’s sister Sophia Culpo poked fun at her methods of concealing her pregnancy. In an Instagram Story on Monday, Sophia, 28, reshared Olivia’s Instagram post from January where she positioned her dog in front of her stomach in a photo with McCaffrey, 28. “Now you all know why her nickname is Oblivia … she ain’t stealth,” Sophia wrote.
Days later, Olivia shared that she couldn’t be active for the first few months of her pregnancy. “I couldn’t workout for the first 4 months of my pregnancy (not even walking!!!!!),” Olivia captioned a Wednesday, March 12, Instagram Story of herself and fitness trainer Marissa West. “So we’re really making it count now … love you @westkeptsecret @mrswestisinthebuilding.”
Olivia and McCaffrey confirmed their relationship on Valentine’s Day in 2020 after being set up on a blind date the year before. In 2022, Olivia got candid about the pair’s future plans — including marriage and children. (Olivia and the NFL player ultimately tied the knot in June 2024.)
Olivia Culpo's Sister Pokes Fun at Her Using a Dog to Hide Her Baby Bump
“[We’re] taking it day by day,” Olivia exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “It’s really exciting, you know, there’s so much to be grateful for, and I don’t wanna give too much away because we do get into this a lot in [on The Culpo Sisters] but … I know that everything’s gonna work out exactly how it’s supposed to. I’m really excited for that.”
One month after speaking with Us, Olivia revealed in an episode of The Culpo Sisters that she had frozen her eggs. “I’ve been making decisions out of fear for the future,” Olivia said in the December 2022 episode. “There’s a lot of pressure that I’ve been putting on my relationship because of fertility. I am going to freeze my eggs so that I can have babies when the time is right for Christian and I. It’s an insurance policy. It’s exciting.”
