Shaboozey was on hand to present at the American Music Awards this weekend — and he had no time for misinformation about the history of country music.

The country hitmaker, 30, presented Favorite Country Duo or Group at the awards show on Monday, May 26, with fellow singer-songwriter Megan Moroney, but he couldn’t hide his annoyance at one line she read off the teleprompter.

“Country music has been an important part of AMA history,” Shaboozey began. “The very first year of this show, the award for Favorite Male Country Artist went to the great Charley Pride.”

Moroney, 27, continued, “That same year, Favorite Female [Country] Artist went to Lynn Anderson, and this award went to the Carter Family, who basically invented country music.”

It was the latter half of that sentence that Shaboozey seemingly had a problem with, as he turned to Moroney and rolled his eyes. He then let out a little laugh before continuing to list off the nominees in the category. (Dan + Shay took home this year’s trophy.)

While it is true that the Carter Family is known as the “First Family of Country Music” because of their early contributions to the genre, they drew heavily on the work of Black guitarist Lesley Riddle, who traveled around Appalachia with A.P. Carter on his song-collecting trips. The Carter Family recorded several of Riddle’s compositions, and Maybelle Carter incorporated elements of his guitar playing into her style.

The banjo, meanwhile, traces its origins to Africa, despite its contemporary association with American bluegrass.

“Black people invented the banjo!” country musician Rhiannon Giddens explained to Variety in 2023. “History isn’t simple — especially American history, which is super complicated because of the way that America came to be and the amounts of different cultures that mixed and mingled, and the economic juggernaut that was slavery. The banjo is existing in this world. And I guess what I want people to understand is that you can’t talk about the banjo without talking about slavery. You have to talk about slavery, you have to talk about minstrelsy, you have to talk about the segregation of American music. Those are the three main points. And if you’re not talking about those things when you talk about the banjo, then you’re just serving a simplified narrative that’s actually doing us harm, because it’s not just simplified, it’s actually false.”

Giddens’ banjo-playing was sampled on Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ’Em,” which appeared on her country album, Cowboy Carter. (Shaboozey is also featured on the record, which won three Grammys this year.)

Earlier this month, Shaboozey said that being a Black artist in country music is one of his strengths.

“I loved that there was so much room for some diversity in the space and to stand out. I love standing out,” he told People. “I love that I’m different. I think it’s my superpower. [I’m] not feeling like I’m not allowed in this space because of the way I look or the way I dress or the way I present myself. If anything, hopefully it opens doors for people.”

Kristin Cavallari confirms that she did get her “boobs redone” recently — but only because there was an issue with one of the implants.

“My intuition was saying, redo your boobs. Go get your boobs checked out.” Cavallari, 38, recalled during the Tuesday, May 27, episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. “At least get a consultation.”

She went to a plastic surgeon in Nashville who “seemed a little concerned” about her right implant.

“What we decided was, ‘OK, well, you get in there and see what’s going on,’ because we knew something was up,” Cavallari continued.

Kristin Cavallari Got Breast Implants and a Lift After Breast-Feeding 3 Kids

Cavallari previously realized that “my boobs were not laying how I wanted them to lay,” but just chalked it up to having the implants for eight years. Getting in to see the surgeon confirmed it was much more.

“He gets in there and I have a ruptured implant, and there is no way of knowing how long this implant was ruptured for,” she explained. “Because my implant was ruptured, my body then formed a huge piece of scar tissue around it, which is good because it, kind of, like, holds it all in place. It’s your body’s way of protecting itself.”

Cavallari added, “That’s why my right boob was definitely not laying right. And it was f***ed up.”

The reality star said it’s “crazy” to think about her implant being ruptured inside her body.

“I have no idea when that happened. I have no idea how long that’s been going on for,” Cavallari continued. “I guess, maybe, I could go through my camera roll and like try to figure out, like, when my boob started going a little f***ing cross-eyed.”

Celebrities Who’ve Had Their Breast Implants Removed — and Why

Cavallari explained if she was in a “long-term relationship,” she might have gotten the implants removed — however, that is not the case.

“Right now, in my life is when I need the best boobs imaginable. I’m sure some people won’t understand that and that’s OK, because it’s not your body. It’s my body and I am very healthy,” she added. “If my vanity is going to come into play with my boobs. That’s one area where I’m like, ‘You know what? Yeah, I’m going to put silicone in my body.’ … I’m going to do it and I’m happy about it.”

Despite the ruptured implant, Cavallari said she has no regrets about getting a breast augmentation.

“I’ll be honest with you guys, doing my boobs is one of the best things I’ve ever done,” she said.

Miley Cyrus revealed what created her trademark raspy voice — and why it prevents her from touring.

During an interview earlier this month on Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show, Cyrus, 32, attributed her unique voice to a medical condition called Reinke’s edema, adding, “[It’s] given me a lot of the tone and texture that has made me who I am, but it’s extremely difficult to perform with because it’s like running a marathon with ankle weights on.”

Cyrus noted that the “ultimate vocal fry” came as a result of a “very large polyp” growth on her vocal chords. “I do have this blessing of a condition that I live with,” she shared. “My voice is super unique because of it.”

While discussing the vocal disorder, Cyrus clarified that years of drinking, smoking, and partying when she was younger did not “help” her issues — but it also did not “cause it.” Cyrus went on to explain why she didn’t want to get surgery to remove the polyp because she didn’t want to risk “not sounding like” herself.

Celebrity Health Scares Through the Years

Cyrus’ health issue has also prevented her from going on a global tour. The singer cited the “taxing” live performances as the reason but she is still trying to find a “sustainable” way to make a tour happen while making sure it ““mathematically” makes sense for her performers and tour crew members.

Earlier this month, Cyrus described additional health issues. She revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that she “caught something” while filming scenes for her “Walk of Fame” music video on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“I filmed this video in October, and by November at Thanksgiving, I was put in the ICU for a moment — just for a moment,” Cyrus recalled. “My leg began to disintegrate around the kneecap area. The doctor goes, ‘Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?’ And I just saw myself [rolling around on the Walk of Fame] and I had to tell him.”

Cyrus continued: “To have a surgeon look at you and say, ‘Yuck’ … Like, they open up cadavers, they see inside the gut of humans, and they’re looking at me telling me I’m disgusting.”

The performer also recalled a “pretty traumatic experience” while experiencing onstage during her 2023 New Year’s Eve special.

“I was doing with Lorne [Michaels] when I was doing my New Year’s show,” Cyrus told Lowe. “I had a medical emergency. I had an ovarian cyst rupture. It was pretty traumatic because it was extremely excruciating and I did the show anyway. But it was really, really hard on me.”

Grimes is revealing why she dropped out of her upcoming World Pride Music Festival performance.

“Hello friends, I am so so sorry and regretful to say I have to cancel my pride show in order to deal with family issues,” the singer, 37, announced via X on Monday, May 26. “I want to say that I am aware the situation has been a great inconvenience to the fans for some time, and I am truly determined to make sure this is no longer the case very soon.”

She continued, “I think the show is still going to be amazing and the lineup is great. I hope this is early enough and gives people enough time if they wish to change their plans. And I *will* make this up to you guys very soon. So much love always G.”

Grimes was originally scheduled to perform during the Washington, D.C. Pride event’s second day on Saturday, June 7. The festival’s star-studded lineup includes headliners Jennifer Lopez and Troye Sivan along with artists such as Paris Hilton, Rita Ora, Tinashe, Kim Petras, Raye, RuPaul, Betty Who and more.

Grimes Addresses Son's Oval Office Visit: Fame Should Be 'Consented To'

The festival reposted Grimes’ social media post via Instagram on Monday and shared a statement of their own. “Lineup update: We’re sending love and support to Grimes during this time as she steps away to focus on personal matters,” the organization wrote via their Instagram Story. “We fully support her decision and are thinking of her and her family.”

Grimes has not publicly specified the “family issues” she is dealing with, nor has the event announced her festival replacement.

Grimes shares three kids with her ex Elon Musk: X Æ A-Xii, 5, Exa Dark Sideræl, 3, and Techno Mechanicus, 2. The pair dated on and off for four years before calling it quits for good in 2022.

Earlier this year, Grimes expressed disapproval after Musk, 53, brought their eldest son with him during a visit with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. “He should not be in public like this,” she wrote via X in February. “I did not see this, thank u for alerting me. But I’m glad he was polite. Sigh.”

In a since-deleted X post later that month, Grimes asked her ex to respond to a “medical crisis” involving one of their children. “This requires immediate attention,” she wrote, per Page Six. “If you don’t want to talk to me can you please designate or hire someone who can do that we can move forward on solving this. This is urgent, Elon.”

Everything Grimes Has Said About Raising Kids With Elon Musk

She continued to criticize her son’s Oval Office appearance with Musk in March. “I have tried begging the public and my kids dad to keep them offline, and I’ve tried legal recourse. I follow you here I’ve seen young ppl destroyed by the internet too,” she wrote via X. “The state of my children’s lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day. It’s insane to me that theres no way to deal with this. I would hope there was some law that would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives but I don’t even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it tbh.”

Musk has not publicly addressed Grimes’ comments. Us Weekly reached out for comment at the time.

In March, Grimes revealed via X that she was diagnosed with ADHD and autism earlier this year and also believes she has dyslexia. “I feel a huge percentage of adhd is screen addiction and dopaminergic burn out,” she shared. “My adhd symptoms were infinitely worse when I wasn’t an avid reader. An adhd account trying to pathologize one of the best things a child can do to help with adhd (and also become an auto didact and knowledgeable person etc etc) is so dark … I can’t even begin.”

Just because Sherri Papini has finally identified a new person responsible for her alleged kidnapping doesn’t mean the FBI agents who worked on her case believe it wasn’t a hoax.

In Us Weekly‘s exclusive clip from Investigation Discovery’s Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie, a government official — who was involved when Papini, 42, was originally investigated — spoke out about her new claims.

“When you tell the truth, there are corroborations that bind that story together. When you are making stuff up, it is impossible sometimes to prove or disprove,” he explained. “It is hard to corroborate Sherri’s claims.” (Among Papini’s new claims are that she was kidnapped by an ex-boyfriend who she spoke to leading up to the incident.)

The FBI agent questioned why it took her so long to try to clear her name, adding, “She had four years where she could have said, ‘I was having marital problems so that is why I had these events take place.’ She never said that.”

Where Sherri Papini Stands With Ex Keith and Her Kids After Kidnapping Hoax

In response, an offscreen producer asked whether Papini “could be the girl who cried wolf.”

“What if any part of these things really did happen to her?” the producer noted. “Not at her direction but against her will and without her consent?”

The agent wasn’t quick to believe Papini’s new story. “If she is the girl who cried wolf then with her background she is going to need a picture of the wolf, paw prints from the wolf, confession both verbal and written from the wolf in order to corroborate her version of the wolf actually coming to get her,” he said. “[This is] based upon the problems with her credibility and her veracity.”

Papini disappeared in November 2016 after going for a jog in her California neighborhood. She resurfaced 22 days later and claimed she had been beaten and branded by captors.

Papini was ultimately arrested in 2022 for orchestrating her abduction. She pleaded guilty to a federal judge later that year and was sentenced to 18 months in jail for committing mail fraud and lying to a federal officer about being kidnapped.

“[I am] so sorry for the pain I’ve caused my family, my friends, all the good people who needlessly suffered because of my story and those who worked so hard to try to help me,” Papini said in a statement at the time about how “deeply ashamed” she was of her actions. “I will work the rest of my life to make amends for what I have done.”

Papini was also ordered to pay more than $300,000 in restitution for losses incurred by the California Victim Compensation Board, the Social Security Administration, the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. She was released from prison in August 2023.

In 2024, Sherri’s experience was addressed in Hulu’s Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini where her now-ex-husband, Keith Papini, and several of her family members and loved ones participated in the docuseries.

What Sherri Papini’s Life Looks Like After Serving Time for Kidnapping Hoax

Investigation Discovery’s Caught in the Lie, meanwhile, allowed Sherri to share her side of the story, claiming her ex-boyfriend James Reyes was allegedly responsible for her kidnapping. Reyes has disputed the claims when interviewed by government officials, which is when he claimed Sherri asked to stay with him after leaving her husband.

Reyes was never officially charged in connection to Sherri’s kidnapping and once again denied her allegations in the ID doc. Sherri refused to change her story when interviewed for Caught in the Lie.

“I wanted to leave,” she claimed. “So I tried to pull one of the boards off the window and James came in and hit me in the face. And that’s the first bruise that I got . . . And after being knocked out and waking up, that’s when the chain was around my waist, secured with a padlock attached to a cable that was attached to a pole in the closet.”

Sherri continued: “James had let me off the chain. I said, my husband’s going to find me. He’s never going to stop looking for you . . . You need to let me go. He was like, ‘Well, there’s too much has happened.’ So it all came down to me. It all came down to my coverup, and that’s [when] I agreed to . . . make up that someone else did it.”

Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie airs on Investigation Discovery Monday, May 26, and Tuesday, May 27, at 9 pm ET. Episodes will also be available to stream on Max.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Mikayla Matthews is getting candid about her healing journey after she said she experienced childhood sexual abuse.

The MomTok star, 25, recently opened up about what she described as “sexual trauma” on “The Squeeze” podcast and also filmed scenes with a therapist for season 2 of the hit Hulu reality show to help her overcome her past.

“Just wanted to thank EACH and everyone one of [you] for all the support and love I have been receiving after my podcast with @thesqueeze,” Matthews shared via her Instagram Story on Monday, May 26, responding to the reaction to her podcast interview.

Matthews went on to give more details about how she is moving forward with the help of therapy. Matthews noted that she has felt moments of “anger” while reliving past events as she continues to heal.

How Many Cheating Scandals Were Explored on 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'?

“As everyone saw on the show, I opened up about something that was really hard and traumatic for me to talk about,” Matthews wrote. “It was the first time I had spoken about it in over 9 years, and I’ve been doing all that therapy while filming this show and to this day.”

Matthews continued, “I’ve felt a lot of anger while unraveling these traumatic events that happened to me in my childhood, some I have yet to open up about. I think under all that anger are the wounds I’ve yet to heal.”

“Can I be bitchy and want to stick up for myself for the things people have done to me, absolutely, and I’ll continue to do so,” Matthews went on. “But I can admit I need to work on not projecting that hurt in unhealthy ways and wish I would’ve handled a lot of situations both in my real life and while filming along the way with more understanding and not at the expense of other peoples feelings. I’m human, I’m learning and growing.”

“If you have been through something similar, I’m sorry and I see you, I love you,” she concluded.

Speaking on the Wednesday, May 21, episode of “The Squeeze,” Matthews said she was sexually abused from a young age.

“I feel like it’s hard … to pinpoint an age of where it all started because I did open up [during season 2 of Mormon Wives] about being sexually abused, and that happened before we moved to Utah,” the reality star said. “I don’t know what age I was, anywhere from, I’m guessing 6, 7 [or] 8.”

Matthews and her six siblings were raised in California until their parents divorced and her now-estranged mother moved them to Utah. (The reality TV star has not publicly shared who allegedly assaulted her in her early childhood.)

According to Matthews, another incident occurred after she moved to Utah with an unidentified man she claimed was “definitely touchy with [her].”

“Now thinking back, I was already being sexually abused before, and so I didn’t quite get it,” she recalled. “I was still pretty young. I think when I was probably 11 or 12, I started to notice a little bit more that it wasn’t OK, but I still hadn’t told anybody about it.”

According to Matthews, “a lot of” the abuse occurred when her mom would go to work.

Sharing Their Stories: Stars Who Survived Abuse

“She worked late and early, so she would go to the back room and take a nap or whatever,” Matthews claimed. “And I would be left alone with [this man] … or we would come over to ride his four-wheelers and he’d be like, ‘If you want to ride the four-wheeler, you have to do this first for me.’ She never saw any of that, and I never told her.”

Billy Ray Cyrus couldn’t stop gushing over Elizabeth Hurley after the duo made their official red carpet debut in Italy this weekend.

The country star, 63, shared a behind-the-scenes video of the duo’s date night via Instagram on Monday, May 26, captioning the clip, “With my beautiful girlfriend in Rome .”

The video showed Cyrus escorting Hurley, 59, through the “Orizzonti | Rosso” Exhibition Opening Dinner at the Palazzo Barberini in Rome on Saturday, May 24, which marked the first time the couple appeared on a red carpet together since going public with their romance last month. While the clip had no audio, Cyrus chose KC and the Sunshine Band’s “That’s the Way (I Like It)” as a soundtrack.

Plenty of fans shared their well-wishes in the comments section, including Cyrus’ fellow country superstar Dierks Bentley, who wrote, “Yeah dude!! Looking GOOD!”

Hurley shared the same video via her own Instagram account, but she chose “Paradise” by Sade to set the mood. “#Roma ,” she captioned her post.

Cyrus and Hurley confirmed their romance last month, nearly three years after they costarred in the movie Christmas in Paradise.

“We did a film two years ago down in the Caribbean, and we did very few scenes together, but the couple times we were in the same scene, there was a chemistry there that [I] felt,” Cyrus said on Apple Music’s Ty Bentli Show in April. “We just laughed, and it was at a time [when] I wasn’t laughing a lot and I found that the oddest thing.”

Billy Ray Cyrus and Elizabeth Hurley's Relationship Timeline

He added, “Then two more years of life went by, and it was this evolution that some might’ve looked at and certainly I felt like, ‘Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher for me?’ At a certain point, it was like, ‘You can’t get knocked down any flatter than lying on your back when life is kicking you in the gut.’”

Cyrus was going through a divorce from ex Firerose when Hurley reached out. The pair confirmed their romance in April, sharing a PDA pic via Instagram on Easter Sunday.

“Billy Ray and Liz have both been through a lot in life and have bonded over life experiences,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in a cover story that month. “Liz is a very compassionate person, which Billy Ray adores.”

Hurley opened up about why their relationship works while attending the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in New York City earlier this month.

“I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising,” she told reporters on the red carpet. “It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well. There has been quite a reaction. … We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.”

The Handmaid’s Tale is officially over — but its spinoff The Testaments is just beginning.

During the Tuesday, May 27, conclusion to the hit Hulu series, June (Elisabeth Moss) crossed paths with Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) after she was reunited with Janine (Madeline Brewer). The series finale kicked off a search for Janine that ended when she was brought back to the Gilead border.

It was at that exact time that Aunt Lydia — and Naomi (Ever Carradine) — arrived with Janine’s daughter Charlotte. As mom and daughter reconnected, Aunt Lydia asked June to take care of them as they exchanged a shared look of respect.

The final interaction between June and Aunt Lydia showed the development that was building all season. Aunt Lydia’s evolution is meant to set up her story, which will be further explored in Hulu’s upcoming series The Testaments.

What to Know About 'The Handmaid's Tale' Spinoff — Including Possible Cameos

Based on Atwood’s novel of the same name, The Handmaid’s Tale takes place in a dystopian future where low fertility rates have resulted in women being forcefully assigned to men for the sole purpose of bearing children. The end of the series showed a revolution resulting in freedom across multiple states — but the fight is not over.

The Testaments, meanwhile, is set 15 years later and is narrated by Aunt Lydia, as viewers are thrust back into the dystopian future with characters such as Agnes from Gilead and Daisy from Canada. Viewers will watch as a new resistance gathers and smuggles incriminating information about Gilead’s regime out of the country. Agnes and Daisy pose as “Pearl Girls” to infiltrate Canada, while Aunt Lydia acts as a covert source within Gilead.

The Handmaid’s Tale coshowrunners Yahlin Chang and Eric Tuchman weighed in on how Aunt Lydia’s arc was preparing her for the spinoff.

“Her decision in episode 8 is really a natural progression from the journey she’s been on from the very beginning of the show. But especially that is heated up with her realizing more and more how horrible these commanders are. So when June says, ‘You’ve learned things you can’t unlearn, you’ve seen things you can’t unsee.’ That’s what she is referring to,” Chang exclusively told Us Weekly in April. “Lydia really believed was a true believer. But she started to understand that these commanders are incredibly toxic — the best examples of toxic male behavior. So that decision to let them go, she’s really just broken down again.”

Every TV Spinoff to (Hopefully) Look Forward to in 2025

Chang added: “So in that moment, she can’t see what to do other than let them go. She does it out of love for Janine. She just goes over to Janine and says, ‘I’m sorry I hurt you.'”

Tuchman elaborated on how Aunt Lydia’s story is just getting started.

“We’ve chipped away at Lydia’s unbelievable denial about the truth of Gilead and her willful blindness,” he teased. “But moving forward, now we know she’s made that decision to liberate the Handmaids. She’s aligned with them in the eyes of Gilead. She has betrayed her duties to Gilead. … She’s now on a path that she can’t stray from. She’s made a very strong decision that she’ll need to account for.”

The Handmaid’s Tale is currently streaming on Hulu.

“They have an incredible mom. I have a beautiful coparenting relationship that I’m really grateful for,” Jonas, 35, said of raising his two daughters, Willia, 4, and Delphine, 2, with the Game of Thrones actress.

“Having an incredible mom, Sophie, for those girls is like a dream come true,” Jonas added on Friday, May 23, while speaking with podcaster and life coach Jay Shetty onstage at the latter’s Jay Shetty: On Purpose Live tour in Hollywood, Florida, per footage shared via social media.

The singer and actor also shared his hopes and dreams for his two daughters as they get older.

“As young girls, looking up to great women is what I want for them. And for guys that are protective of them,” the Jonas Brothers and DNCE star said. “I think what values I want for them … I want them to be open-minded and have a big heart, be able to walk into any room and feel confidence and know that they can do literally anything they want.”

However, Jonas admitted that he is reluctant for his young girls to follow in their parents’ famous footsteps.

How Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner Resolved Their Custody Dispute

“Doing music or acting, we might want them to wait a little while,” he quipped, before adding: “I think, for me, I want them to feel confident to be who they are as people, feel like they can grow up in a safe world.”

Jonas and Turner, 29, tied the knot in 2019 after three years of dating. They welcomed their first daughter, Willa, in 2020, followed by Delphine in 2022.

Us Weekly confirmed in September 2023 that Jonas filed for divorce from Turner after four years of marriage. The pair subsequently went back and forth over custody arrangements of their two daughters, but eventually reached a settlement in September 2024, agreeing to share custody.

“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the U.K.,” the now-exes told Us in a joint statement at the time. “We look forward to being great coparents.”

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's Relationship Timeline

Last week, Turner gave some insight into her positive relationship with her ex when she plugged Jonas’ new album, Music for People Who Believe in Love.

“Go go @joejonas,” Turner wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, May 24, sharing a Spotify link to the record.

Since their split, Turner and Jonas have both spoken about their marriage and relationship.

“We had a beautiful relationship, and it was hard,” Turner recalled last year to Harper’s Bazaar. “I’m so happy to be back. It felt as if my life was on pause until I returned to England. I just never really feel like myself when I’m not in London, with my friends and family. I was away for so long — six years — and it was when my friends were getting engaged, and when I got pregnant. I went for dinner with someone the other day, and she said, ‘I never got to touch your belly.’ We didn’t have those key experiences with each other.”

Jonas, meanwhile, recently talked about diving back into the dating world following his divorce.

“I was seeing somebody at the time, and I was kind of having this idea of dating again. It was really scary and intimidating,” Jonas said during a Wednesday, May 22, TalkShopLive stream, while discussing writing his new song “Only Love” from his latest solo record.

He added, “Love takes different shapes and forms, and I was rediscovering what that was.”

The Memorial Day weekend may be over, but Watch With Us is still thinking about the long, restful holiday. Can you blame us?

That’s probably why we’ve selected three great war-centric horror movies you should watch in June 2025.

Two of these flicks aren’t that far away from standard World War II movies, while the middle pick envisions a different kind of world war that may claim the lives of everyone, no matter how far they run. It’s a summer full of frights here at Us, but in this case, that’s a good thing.

‘Overlord’ (2018)

There are seemingly endless World War II movies, but Overlord goes in some wild new directions by injecting a dose of horror into the story. On a mission behind enemy lines, an American war plane is shot down. The only survivors are Edward Boyce (Jovan Adepo), Lewis Ford (Wyatt Russell), Lyle Tibbet (John Magaro), Morton Chase (Iain De Caestecker) and Jacob Rosenfeld (Dominic Applewhite).

After taking shelter with a sympathetic local woman, Chloe Laurent (Mathilde Ollivier), the American soldiers learn about secret Nazi experiments on the other people in her village. The Nazis have already come up with a serum that can transform anyone into monsters with superhuman strength. Although the men are on an important mission for the Doomsday invasion of Normandy, shutting down these experiments takes top priority… even if it kills them.

Overlord is streaming on Shudder.

‘World War Z’ (2013)

World War Z features some of the fastest zombies we’ve ever seen on film, and that’s why they’re scarier than usual. Brad Pitt stars as Gerry Lane, an ex-United Nations investigator who has a first-hand look at a zombie outbreak that nearly claims his life and the lives of his family. In the immediate aftermath, the safety of Gerry’s family is used to blackmail him into searching for the origin of the zombie virus.

In theory, discovering the source may allow scientists to come up with a cure for the zombies. But finding those answers is anything but easy, especially since zombies are everywhere and any bad decisions could bring Gerry’s mission to a premature and terminal end.

World War Z is streaming on Paramount+.

‘Shadow in the Cloud’ (2020)

Shadow in the Cloud features Chloë Grace Moretz as Maude Garrett, a RAF pilot officer during World War II. In 1943, Maude embarks on a clandestine mission alongside the crew of an American B-17 bomber, almost all of whom go out of their way to make her feel unwelcome. While stuck traveling in a ball turret, Maude sees two threats to the plane: A Japanese fighter plane and some kind of winged gremlin.

However, Maude’s attempts to warn the crew largely fall on deaf ears. They simply don’t take Maude seriously, and that may prove to be a fatal mistake for everyone involved. Maude has her secrets, but she’s also the only one who realizes that this plane may never arrive at its final destination.

The good news for subscribers is that there are only 15 movies leaving Hulu in June. However, Hulu sometimes drops a lot of titles during a month without a lot of warning. Therefore, Hulu’s official list of departures for the month may not be comprehensive.

One of the standout titles leaving Hulu is The Worst Person in the World, the Oscar-nominated romantic comedy/drama by director Joachim Trier.

Renate Reinsve — a Norwegian actress who recently made her American debut in A Different Man and Apple TV+‘s Presumed Innocent — stars in the film as a young woman named Julie. We wouldn’t call Julie the “worst person in the world,” but she does make some selfish choices in the pursuit of love and happiness.

You can find that film and all other movies leaving Hulu in June below.

The Handmaid’s Tale packed one last surprise in its series finale by bringing back a major character.

“It was an immediate yes,” Alexis Bledel, who played Emily in seasons 1 to 4, told The Hollywood Reporter of her cameo in the Hulu drama’s final episode on Tuesday, May 27.

“It felt right to bring closure to Emily’s journey and offer the audience a sense of completion. Bruce [Miller, creator] put together such a kind and talented group, and so many of the original crew were still there in season six. The production runs like a well-oiled machine — everyone brings their best,” Bledel, 43, added.

The Gilmore Girls alum also shared that she’s “excited to see what they create” in the upcoming Handmaid’s Tale spinoff series, The Testaments.

Alexis Bledel's 'Complicated Life' Almost Prevented 'Handmaid's Tale' Return

During Tuesday’s conclusion to the hit Hulu series, June (Elisabeth Moss) reunited with Emily after the rebellion in Gilead. The finale featured a parallel to the show’s first episode, where June and Emily walked along the water. Instead of seeing bodies hanging in the area, June and Emily now saw effigies of dead commanders and freedom graffiti.

Emily’s return was a welcome twist after Bledel previously left ahead of season 5.

“After much thought, I felt I had to step away from The Handmaid’s Tale at this time,” she told Variety in a 2022 statement. “I am forever grateful to [executive producer] Bruce Miller for writing such truthful and resonant scenes for Emily, and to Hulu, MGM, the cast and crew for their support.”

In her interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bledel reiterated that the show is ultimately one of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity.

‘Handmaid's Tale’ Series Finale Ending Explained: Who Died? Who Returned?

“I hope viewers take away to keep hope alive when things seem impossible. Even if it seems like seeds you plant couldn’t possibly grow, plant seeds of hope anyway. You never know; they might find a way,” she said.

Bledel’s scene partner in the finale, lead actress Elisabeth Moss, told the outlet that once creator Bruce Miller floated the idea of bringing Emily back, she was set on making it happen.

“I said to him at the time, ‘You realize now that you’ve told me that, we have to do it,’” Moss shared. “It’s not the easiest thing in the world to call an actor and be like, ‘Can you come back for this one episode?’ They’re busy. … And she wanted to do it from the beginning. She didn’t need convincing at all. My first official scene on day one [on set] was with Alexis. So it meant a lot to get to work with her again.”

Miller, meanwhile, said that Bledel’s return to the Handmaid’s Tale set was an emotional one.

Everything ‘The Handmaid's Tale’ Cast Said About the Show Ending 

“She cried and hugged people every four feet,” the executive producer noted. He added that “it was wonderful to see her and Lizzie get right back into it after all that time. It’s like watching the f***ing Yankees bullpen every day with these guys. They’re so good.”

All episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale are now streaming on Hulu.

We know that gingham is the style of the summer, but now it’s really official. A recent wave of celebrity sightings put the playful print in the spotlight, and Jennifer Lopez‘s snap of approval sealed its status. In a recent post, Lopez posed on Instagram wearing a crisp pink and white gingham dress along with a raffia hat and a Dior tote — and we found a similar frock on Amazon that’s less than you think.

Her exact Reformation dress is sold out, but don’t worry! This Amazon dress looks so identical, nobody can tell the difference — not even hardcore fashionistas like Us. Oh, and you don’t have to cash out thousands for this pick, which happens to be less than $50.

Made of a breathable cotton and polyester blend, this flattering maxi will make you feel cool and classy, all while turning heads all summer long. The clean checker print gives off preppy Hamptons energy with a Charleston twist, making it the ideal dress for nearly any warm-weather occasion. You can see why more than 100 shoppers snapped one up in the past month!

18 European-Style Linen Pieces to Stay Cool All Summer — Starting at Just $7

This A-line wonder has wide, fettuccini straps, a U-neckline and secret smocked paneling in the back for additional stretch. The dress also makes you look taller, thanks to bust-framing seams and a maxi skirt. Plus, the pleated high-waist design hides tummy insecurities, draping loosely over the midsection while distracting the eyes.

And did we mention this dress has pockets? You won’t even need a purse for quick Target runs or coffee dates . . . unless you want one, of course. To rock a Jennifer Lopez aesthetic, all you need is an oversized tote bag, a dainty bracelet and your favorite sun hat. Paired with sandals, it’s the perfect outfit for Saturday farmer’s markets, casual beach strolls and seaside lunches.

Calling this dress “versatile” is an understatement. If you’re headed out for errands, wearing it with flip-flops and a messy bun is enough to garner endless compliments. For fancy dinners and baby showers, go with kitten heels, sparkly jewelry and a crescent bag. Heck, you could wear this trendy find with bare feet and still look like a millionaire!

And if you’re going on vacation this summer, don’t even think about leaving this dress behind. According to reviewers, this dress “accentuates your figure in the right areas,” is a compliment magnet and “lives up to the influencer hype.”

“Easy, breezy, timeless,” one shopper captioned their review. They continued, “[It’s] one of the most comfortable and breathable fabrics — and I’m in Texas. It’s lightweight and the material quality is impressive and is full coverage. Not see-through at all. I’ve worn it over and over and plan to purchase more colors.”

Looking ahead to everything new on Hulu in June, it looks like it’s going to be a big month for the streamer.

Hulu’s primary attraction this month is The Bear season 4, as the hit series featuring Jeremy Allen White, Ayo Edebiri, Ebon Moss-Bachrach and more returns on June 25.

After the success of Prey in 2022, director Dan Trachtenberg is returning to the Predator franchise this month with the Hulu original animated feature, Predator: Killer of Killers.

All of the other Predator movies are back on Hulu in June to support that project, while the Alien films have returned in advance of Alien: Earth, which will premiere on FX and Hulu later this summer.

You can find the full lineup of everything new on Hulu in June 2025 below.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense team is seeking to strike Kid Cudi’s claims about a 2012 car explosion — and Diddy’s alleged involvement — from the record amid the disgraced star’s ongoing sex trafficking trial. (Diddy has denied all the charges against him.)

TMZ and People reported on Monday, May 26, that Diddy’s team filed court documents to have a portion of Cudi’s testimony struck, claiming that the “Day ‘n’ Nite” rapper’s allegations about the 2012 incident were “mere speculation” and posed “significant dangers of unfair prejudice.”

Diddy’s team said a “witness generally cannot testify that in his opinion, a declarant was lying when making a statement,” referring to Cudi’s claims on the stand last week that Diddy “was lying” when he denied involvement in the explosion of his Porsche vehicle during a meeting in Los Angeles.

Cudi — real name Scott Mescudi — took the stand during Diddy’s ongoing trial on Thursday, May 22, and discussed his relationship with Diddy’s ex and fellow trial witness, Cassie, with whom he had a relationship in 2011 while she and Diddy were on a break. (Diddy and Cassie dated on and off from 2007 to 2018.)

A Complete Timeline of Allegations in the Diddy Trial: Freak Offs and More

Cudi said that in 2012, after he and Cassie had broken up, his dog sitter called him to tell him that his car was on fire. “The top of my Porsche was cut open and that’s where they inserted the Molotov cocktail,” he testified.

Following the car incident, Cudi alleged that he met up with Diddy at the Soho House in Los Angeles. “Sean Combs was standing there with his hands behind his back like a Marvel supervillain,” Cudi claimed, adding that his fellow rapper said they were “homies” and said he didn’t understand why Cudi would date Cassie. “He kept offering me water. It was weird that he was so calm,” Cudi continued, noting that he found Diddy’s demeanor “off-putting.”

When Cudi asked him about the car, Diddy allegedly gave him a “very cold stare” and replied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Years later, the two men had a second meeting at Soho House, where Diddy allegedly told Cudi he was sorry for the past. “Man, I just want to apologize for everything, all that bulls***,” Cudi recalled Diddy saying, adding that the Sean John founder brought one of his daughters to the meeting.

Why Kid Cudi's Dog Is a Point of Contention at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Trial

“After that apology, I kind of came to peace with all of it,” Cudi told the court. “That’s the last thing I was expecting to get.”

In her own trial testimony earlier in May, Cassie claimed that Diddy found out about her romance with Cudi in 2011 when he searched through her emails during a “freak off” and found a correspondence between her and Cudi’s team about bringing a toiletry bag to a house. Cassie alleged that Diddy subsequently lunged at her with a “wine bottle opener.”

Cassie also claimed that Diddy threatened to blow up Cudi’s car and wanted Cudi’s friends to be there to witness it.

Diddy is currently on trial on charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and denied all of the allegations against him.

Cynthia Nixon says she cringed while rewatching Sex and the City.

In an interview with Grazia published on Monday, May 26, Nixon says she watched all six seasons of the iconic HBO series before reprising her role as Miranda Hobbes in the spinoff And Just Like That. 

Nixon, 59, thought that 90 percent of the original show was “still pretty great” but “certain things have really not aged well.” She told the outlet that “it was always very difficult being on a show that was so white. I always hated that. When we would raise it, we were told: this is Candace Bushnell’s world and it’s a very white world. I’m like, OK… .’”

The actor, who is married to wife Christine Marinoni, added that “some of the trans stuff, some of the gay stuff was a little cringy to look at.”

Cynthia Nixon Reflects on Che Diaz’s Exit from ‘And Just Like That’

But for Nixon, Sex and the City endures as “a feminist show — it’s always been a feminist show.”

Nixon was 32 years old when the series debuted in 1998, introducing viewers to ambitious attorney Miranda and her best friends as they navigated the never-a-dull-moment dating pool of New York City. 

“What you have to remember is that we were in our thirties and forties,” Nixon said. “Of course, I look at the show now, we look like babies, but being single at that age, at that time, still had a kind of stigma.” 

Summing up its Y2K-era philosophy, she added: “You can be a woman, you can have a lot of sex with a lot of different people. It didn’t make you a slut and it didn’t mean you were using sex to get something. You were having sex — because you enjoyed having sex!”

‘SATC’ Author Won't Get Royalties From Netflix: ‘Ponzi Scheme’

The series ended in 2004 with Miranda finding love and stability with husband Steve (David Eigenberg), but when And Just Like That premiered in 2021, Miranda leaves Steve to be with Che (Sara Ramirez), a plot twist that upset SATC fans who loved Miranda and Steve’s relationship. 

Nixon told Grazia that the blowback “doesn’t really bother me. Our show always killed its darlings. If we’re just gonna play it safe and nice, why are you watching?”

Nixon added: “I love Che, I love Sara. It’s hard to know what people would have made of Che if Che hadn’t ostensibly broken up Steve and Miranda. But I don’t want a show in which everybody is behaving well all the time.”

Season 3 of And Just Like That launches on Thursday, May 29. During the Season 2 finale, which aired in August 2023, Miranda made amends with Steve and they agreed to be friends following their divorce. She later crossed paths with recent ex Che and the former couple got to a better place as well.

And Just Like That's Biggest Scandals: Shocking Death and Departures

“We did something that was hard to do, which is we took something familiar and did make it new,” showrunner Michael Patrick King told Variety in 2022. “For better and for worse.”

He said at the time that he was paying little attention to the cacophony of reactions on social media. 

“I monitor in macro, not micro,” King said. “I monitor in the drum beats: ‘This is the best thing I’ve ever seen! This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. They should all be killed! I can’t live without them. The clothes are terrible, the clothes are great.’ I’m not into the minutia of anything.”

Former Disney Channel star Ryan McCartan is sharing a glimpse of the low residuals that he receives from the network.

McCartan, 31, took to his Instagram Story on Monday, May 26, and revealed that he was expecting just 41 cents in payment for his work on the former series Liv and Maddie, which aired from 2013 to 2017. The actor played the recurring role of Diggie Smalls throughout the show’s four-year run. 

“When they ask me if Disney Channel paid well,” McCartan joked via social media, posting a screenshot of the payment notice. 

After Liv and Maddie ended, he went on to make his Broadway debut as Fiyero in Wicked and star in other musicals including South Pacific, Frozen and West Side Story. Since January, he’s starred in The Great Gatsby in New York City’s theater district.

Lindsay! Selena! Disney Stars Through the Years

“Gatsby is so adult,” he said of playing Jay Gatsby in a recent interview with PIX 11 News. “And I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m not a grownup. I’m a kid from Minnesota. So they’re gonna go for someone sophisticated and complicated — not me. Then I get the call and I’m like, ‘This is a mistake. This is a mistake. Me?’”

Like many other working actors, McCartan earns residual paychecks anytime that a TV show he appeared on airs in reruns. The money has helped people pay their rent in between gigs. 

“Ours is a fickle industry and in my 20+ years of being a performer, my career has ebbed and flowed,” Mandy Moore wrote via Instagram in summer 2023, when the SAG-AFTRA acting union began its four-month strike over a labor dispute with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. 

The star of This Is Us added at the time: “I’ve had very lean years where I couldn’t get a job and those are precisely the moments when in years past, actors could rely on residuals from their past work to help them get by.”

Aaron Paul Claims He Gets No ‘Breaking Bad’ Streaming Residuals: 'Pony Up'

Glen Powell has tweeted that he used to survive on residuals “for years” when he was still attempting to “make it as a working actor.”

As streaming platforms lure viewers away from traditional TV, actors’ residual check amounts have significantly decreased. One bone of contention during the SAG-AFTRA strike was producers’ refusal to compromise on better terms regarding residual checks during contract negotiations. 

McCartan’s fellow Disney Channel alum, Robert Carradine, has also received low residuals. Carradine, 71, played Hilary Duff’s dad on the popular series Lizzie McGuire and once earned a residual check in August 2019 for $0.

Davida Williams, who played cheerleader Claire Miller on Lizzie McGuire, revealed in March 2023 that she usually gets a sum of $3.50 or less, and Jake Thomas (Lizzie’s little brother Matt), recently mused: “It used to be, like, you’d have to take this huge stack of checks every month for residuals over to the bank and deposit them. But the huge stack would be like, ‘Oh, this is a massive stack. This is $8.’”
