Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Bradley Cooper and more party at Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island getaway
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a star-studded gathering at Taylor Swift‘s place in Rhode Island, but the tradition returned over the weekend, according to multiple reports.
Back from the European leg of the Eras Tour, Taylor reunited with her boyfriend Travis Kelce and a bunch of pals at her Rhode Island mansion — the historic home that inspired her song “The Last Great American Dynasty.”
People,TMZ and The Daily Mail reported that Travis and Taylor were joined byBlake Lively and Ryan Reynolds; Travis’ brother Jason and his wife Kylie; Bradley Cooperand his daughter Lea, 7; and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, his wife Brittany and their daughter Sterling, 3.
The last time Taylor and Travis had been seen together prior to the gathering was when Travis went to Taylor’s shows in Germany on July 13 and 14.
Better skip the sodas: The original Twister and its follow-up, the summer hit Twisters, are blowing into Regal’s seat-shaking, immersive 4DX theaters nationwide on Aug. 30.
Tickets for the limited run went on sale Thursday. It will be the first time the 1996 original starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt will be screened in the 4DX format.
4DX theaters incorporate not only shaking and rocking movie seats, but also atmospheric effects like smoke, wind and even spritzes of water — natural enhancements for two films about one of nature’s most fearsome phenomena.
The success of the Glen Powell/Daisy Edgar-Jones film Twisters in 4DX led the theater chain to spin-up the tornado double-bill, says the theater chain’s head of film, James Lamar.
Viral videos of moviegoers getting shaken and stirred while watching the new film likely helped, too.
“During opening week of Twisters, most 4DX showtimes for the movie quickly sold out at Regal locations offering that premium format,” Lamar said. “Despite the packed summer movie calendar, we found an opportunity to schedule seven more days of Twisters in 4DX and introduce a new way to enjoy the original film.”
Advance tickets for showtimes at 4DX locations will be available for purchase at theater box offices and kiosks, on the Regal mobile app or through REGmovies.com.
Halle Berry knows how to laugh at herself — after all, she’s the only Oscar winner to personally pick up a Razzie Award — and she just proved that again with a hair-raising promotion for her new thriller, Never Let Go.
To celebrate the infamous wig she wore as a 911 operator in the 2013 thriller The Call — which, she explained on Instagram, fans have been “jokingly ‘dragging’ me [about] for years” — she held “special wig screenings” of the new film.
Fans who got to see the Sept. 20 release early were invited to wear a wig inspired by Halle’s headwear in various films — and more than a couple chose to callback The Call.
In the video posted online, Halle surprised fans, showing up to one such showing wearing the frizzy “abomination” she wore in that film, which she explained was identical to one worn by a real-life 911 operator she met while doing research.
Moviegoers who went uncovered were supplied by Halle, who tossed wigs into the crowd à la Oprah, saying, “YOU get a wig! And YOU get a wig!”
The superstar added, “This means so much to me that you guys would come out tonight, put on a wig, take the time [and] come support this movie I’m so proud of.”
She added, “And you know, there’s another wig in it — another f***** up wig.”
In the movie, she plays a haunted mother trying to keep her two sons safe in a post-apocalyptic world.
Referencing the plot of The Call, Halle added, “But you know, I saved Abigail Breslin from the trunk, I got her a** out, and I’m gonna save these kids, too.”
Well, it looks like Kathy Bates isn’t retiring after Matlock after all.
Bates stopped by ABC’s On the Red Carpet show before Sunday night’s 76th Emmy Awards, where she threw cold water on a New York Times story that Madeline Matlock in the forthcoming CBS reboot would be her final role.
As much as she said she was “flattered” that the retirement report “went around the globe,” Bates told ABC’s George Pennacchio that she was “misunderstood.”
“I think it was misunderstood because I … had one foot out the door until I read Jennie [Snyder] Urman‘s script and I was like, ‘OK, now we’re talking. And I want the show [Matlock] to run for years and years,” she said.
The original series of Matlock ran from 1986 to 1995, starring Andy Griffith as a defense lawyer named Benjamin Matlock.
The reboot show will chronicle Bates’ character, who rejoins the law workforce as a senior, scoring legal victories in courtrooms. In the interview with the New York Times to discuss the show, she said she felt like she was called to do the role, especially after experiencing some injustices in the early days of her career.
“Everything I’ve prayed for, worked for, clawed my way up for, I am suddenly able to be asked to use all of it,” she said at the time. “And it’s exhausting.”
Despite her success, when reflecting on her acting career, she only recalled some of the blunders, telling the New York Times, “I never felt dressed right or well.”
“I felt like a misfit,” she said. “It’s that line in Misery when Annie says, ‘I’m not a movie star.’ I’m not.”
Her comments notwithstanding, a source told ABC News on Monday that “it is understood that Bates changed her mind [about retiring] after doing Matlock.”
Matlock will premiere on CBS Sept. 22 and will be available to stream on Paramount+.
