Inside Miranda Lambert and Brendan McLoughlin’s Whirlwind Love Story

Explaining why she regularly paid tribute to McLoughlin’s abs and arms along with the rest of him, Lambert said in 2023 that she was simply doing the world a service.

“I believe that my job, given my [musical] gift, is take songs to the people,” she told Fox News Digital at Clive Davis‘ Pre-Grammy Gala that February, “so if you’re given this gift you should take that to the people.”

That being said, McLoughlin—who first walked the red carpet with Lambert at the 2019 ACM Awards—also looks pretty good in a suit. 

“This is Brendan’s second Grammys,” Lambert noted of their fancy-date weekend in 2023. But with the 2021 Grammys being held outside, she continued, “the one he came to before two years ago was still a little bit weird. So this will be the first normal Grammys that he’s been to with me.” 

Though she was nominated for four awards, the Palomino artist said she wasn’t performing, “so this is our night to sit back and watch the show.”

Asked what the key to being each other’s forever-seatmate was, McLoughlin said, “If you can actually just sit on the couch and discuss what’s on your mind and what’s in your heart, makes everything so much easier.”

But Lambert wouldn’t want to sit with just anybody.

“It’s nice to have a partner in that, someone by your side that supports you, loves you and believes in you,” she told People. “He loves me for me. It’s a really cool thing to have in my life.”

The Mummy Franchise Rises Again! Brendan Fraser And Rachel Weisz Set To Return For Fourth Installment | Glamsham.com

Hollywood is going to get a serious shot of nostalgia as Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are reportedly teaming up once again for the fourth installment of the franchise, The Mummy. Per Deadline, Universal Pictures is rebooting one of its most favorite action-adventure sagas, with these two talents in discussions to revisit their stellar roles of Rick O’Connell and Evelyn Carnahan respectively.

The new movie will be directed by Radio Silence’s Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who rebooted the Scream franchise, from a script written by David Coggeshall. Franchise veteran producer Sean Daniel returns to produce alongside William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein of Project X Entertainment, reuniting the creative team behind the most recent Scream reboots.

Fraser and Weisz first starred in The Mummy, directed by Stephen Sommers, and its sequel, The Mummy Returns, in 1999 and 2001. Both films were based on Universal’s classic monster legacy and grossed more than $400 million worldwide, becoming cult hits. In them, Fraser took on the role of Rick O’Connell, a dashing adventurer and ex-soldier, while Weisz portrayed Evelyn, a smart Egyptologist. Their chemistry-developing from being reluctant partners to a married couple fighting ancient Egyptian curses-was the key to the series’ success.

The franchise expanded with the 2002 spinoff The Scorpion King, starring Dwayne Johnson, and the 2008 sequel The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which saw Fraser return without Weisz.
After his Oscar-winning comeback with The Whale, Fraser keeps the momentum going with Rental Family, which bows Nov. 21 from Searchlight Pictures. Weisz is also an Oscar winner and recently appeared in Prime Video’s Dead Ringers and Marvel’s Black Widow.

With the two stars back on board and a new creative team to take the reins, The Mummy 4 could resurrect the adventure, romance, and supernatural thrills that made the original films timeless favorites.

Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz Set to Revive The Mummy Franchise

written by jummy84

Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz are reuniting for a fourth installment in The Mummy franchise at Universal.

Fraser starred in the first three films of the franchise, with Weisz appearing in the first two (Maria Bello replaced Weisz for the third entry).

According to Variety, the fourth movie will be directed by Radio Silence, the filmmaking team of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who broke through with the 2019 horror movie, Ready or Not, and revived the Scream franchise with Scream 5 and Scream 6 in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

The original 1999 film The Mummy was a box-office smash, grossing more than $422.5 million and launching a reliable franchise for Universal in the early 2000s. The action-adventure romp that made Fraser a star was a fun, feel-good ride strong enough to land the series on our 50 Best Action Movie Franchises of All Time list.

After stepping away from Hollywood for a variety of reasons, including an assault allegation against the former HFPA president, Fraser returned to prominence with the 2022 film, The Whale, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Actor.

Last year, it was revealed that Fraser will play Dwight D. Eisenhower in the upcoming movie, Pressure, which is based on the 72 hours leading up to D-Day.

Weisz, who starred as twins in Prime Video’s adaptation of Dead Ringers back in 2023, is set to appear in the upcoming Netflix series, Vladimir, an adaptation of the critically acclaimed, bestselling novel by Julia May Jonas.

Universal’s Brendan Fraser-led The Mummy franchise is about to get a resurrection.

Fraser, who played Rick O’Connell in the first three Stephen Sommers-universe Mummy films, and Rachel Weisz, who portrayed love interest Evelyn in the first two entries, are in talks to star in a potential fourth installment.

Filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of Radio Silence are set to direct the project. Best known for their darkly comedic horror hits Ready or Not and the recent Scream installments, the duo is expected to inject both scares and sharp humor into the franchise.

“Every character he meets will start adding a little bit more color into his life.” This looks so delightful. Searchlight Pictures has debuted a new promo featurette for the heartfelt film titled Rental Family, made by the filmmaker known as “Hikari” who also directed episodes of the series “Beef” & the film 37 Seconds. Rental Family already premiered at TIFF a few months ago and opens in theaters later in November this fall. Discover the joy of unexpected connections. A lonely American actor living in Tokyo starts working for a Japanese “rental family” company to play stand-in roles in other people’s lives. Along his journey, he finds surprising connections and unexpected joys within his built-in family. This stars Oscar winner Brendan Fraser, along with Takehiro Hira, Mari Yamamoto, Shannon Gorman, & Akira Emoto. This fun promo focuses on explaining the story and the concept it explores – the idea that in Tokyo, Japan you can just rent a person for whatever – to be your friend, your boyfriend, your family member. I’m really looking forward to watching the film. I think this very wholesome, uplifting story is what we could use more of now.

Here’s the “Building a New Family” featurette for Hikari’s film Rental Family, on Searchlight’s YouTube:

You can rewatch the first official trailer for Hikari’s Rental Family movie right here for even more footage.

Set against modern-day Tokyo, Rental Family follows an American actor (Oscar winner Brendan Fraser) who struggles to find his purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese “rental family” agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his new clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that soon blur the lines between performance and reality. Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging, and the quiet beauty of human connection. Rental Family is directed by the Japanese filmmaker known as Hikari (aka Mitsuyo Miyazaki), director of the film 37 Seconds previously, plus episodes of the series “Beef” from A24. The screenplay is written by Stephen Blahut and Hikari. Produced by Julia Lebedev, Eddie Vaisman, Shin Yamaguchi, and Hikari. This is premiering at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival this fall. Searchlight will then debut Hikari’s Rental Family in select US theaters starting on November 21st, 2025 coming soon this fall. Who’s planning to watch this?

South Park Dumps on Brendan Carr With Cat Feces, Kyle’s Mom Heads to Israel

by jummy84 September 25, 2025
written by jummy84

*Warning: This article contains spoilers*

Where to even begin with tonight’s episode of South Park? Following a week-delay — officially attributed to Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s inability to finish the episode on time, but likely also intended to create some distance from the events surrounding Charlie Kirk’s murder — it was anyone’s guess what direction the comedy duo would take. Parker and Stone have never shied away from touching the third rail, but the heightened rhetoric around political violence, underscored again today by the targeted shooting at an ICE detention facility in Dallas, Texas, made for a backdrop the South Park creators likely weren’t ready to confront. Instead, on Wednesday, they opted for a path far less divisive and politically fraught: the war in Gaza.

For the first time since Israel’s invasion of Gaza began two years ago, Parker and Stone tackled the crisis head-on — but in the way only they could. The episode opens with the students of South Park Elementary placing bets on prediction markets like Kashi and Polymarket, with one of the most popular props being whether Kyle’s mom would strike Gaza and destroy a Palestinian hospital. Shockingly, Cartman isn’t behind the prop itself, but after realizing the lucrative potential in driving up its odds, he hatches a scheme.

“Ever since Kyle got all pissed off, the odds are going up that his mom will attack Gaza,” Cartman explains. “We can influence Kyle to get the odds raised more. It’s a conflict of interest, it’s a way to make more money. All we have to do is make sure Kyle stays angry and talk anti-Semetic shit about his mom to goose up the odds more… It’s obvious rage bait.”

And go begins Story B involving Donald Trump Jr., who is portrayed as Strategic Advisor for Predictive Markets, chair of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, and Special Advisor to Israel. Kyle soon finds himself in a game of telephone with Trump’s eldest son as he tries to get the wager removed from the app.

“If it’s offensive, you should talk to the FCC… talk to Brendan Carr,” Trump Jr. tells Kyle, setting the stage for the episode’s biggest highlight.

But first, let’s cover what Daddy Trump is up to this entire episode. After realizing his life is about to change after knocking up Satan, Trump becomes determined to get rid of the baby. Unfortunately for FCC commissioner Carr, he shows up at the wrong place at the wrong time and stumbles into each of Trump’s plots, seriously injuring himself in the process. By episode’s end, Carr has contracted a case of toxoplasmosis from exposure to cat feces. “If it reaches the brain, he may lose his freedom of speech,” the doctor warns Vice President JD Vance.

As for Kyle’s mom? She never does end up bombing Gaza, but she does travel to Israel to berate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Just who do you think you are, killing thousands and flattening neighborhoods, then wrapping yourself in Judaism like it’s some shield from criticism?”

Following its premiere on Comedy Central, Season 27, Episode 5 of South Park — “”Conflict of Interest” — will be available to stream on Hulu beginning Thursday, September 25th.

Who is Brendan Carr, FCC head under fire for Jimmy Kimmel suspension? – National

by jummy84 September 20, 2025
written by jummy84

ABC took comic Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show off the air indefinitely Wednesday, just hours after Federal Communications Commission chairman Brendan Carr called his comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination “truly sick.”

Carr is a longtime FCC commissioner named as chairman by President Donald Trump in November. In the months since, he has launched investigations of ABC, CBS and NBC news.

“Americans no longer trust the legacy national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly. It is time for a change,” Carr said in July, after the FCC approved CBS owner Paramount’s $8 billion merger with Skydance.

Here’s what to know about Carr:

Carr was already a longtime member of the commission and served previously as the FCC’s general counsel. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate three times and both Trump and President Joe Biden nominated him to the commission.

Before joining the commission as a staff member in 2012, he worked as an attorney at Wiley Rein LLP and clerked on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

He has more recently embraced Trump’s ideas about social media and tech. He wrote a section devoted to the FCC in “Project 2025,” a sweeping blueprint for gutting the federal workforce and dismantling federal agencies in a second Trump administration produced by the conservative Heritage Foundation. Trump has claimed he didn’t know anything about Project 2025, but many of its themes have aligned with his statements.

Carr appeared to acknowledge a connection between what happened to Kimmel and “Project 2025” with a GIF on social media Wednesday.

The FCC takes on broadcast networks

In March, Carr said he was opening an investigation into Walt Disney Co. and ABC to see whether they are “promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination.” He also opened separate investigations into CBS and NBC news.

Talking about the Kimmel situation on Fox News Wednesday, he said broadcasters with FCC licenses have “a unique obligation to operate in the public interest. And over the years, the FCC walked away from enforcing that public interest obligation. I don’t think we’re better off as a country for it.”

In July, he hailed the Paramount-Skydance merger as an opportunity to bring more balance to “once-storied” CBS.

FCC approval of the merger came after months of turmoil around Trump’s legal battle with the CBS program “60 Minutes.” With the specter of the Trump administration potentially blocking the deal, Paramount agreed to a $16 million settlement with the president.

CBS then announced it was canceling Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” just days after the comedian sharply criticized the settlement on air. Paramount cited financial reasons, but big names both within and outside the company have questioned those motives.

Shortly before the FCC approved the merger, Paramount agreed to hire an ombudsman at CBS News to investigate complaints of political bias. The job went to Kenneth Weinstein, the former head of a conservative think tank who has made several donations to Republican causes, including President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign.

On Wednesday, Carr said Kimmel appeared to be making an intentional effort to mislead the public that conservative activist Kirk’s assassin was a right-wing Trump supporter. He called Kimmel’s comments about Kirk’s death “truly sick” and said his agency has a strong case for holding Kimmel, ABC and Disney accountable for spreading misinformation.

Kirk, a top conservative podcaster, was shot and killed last week at an appearance on a college campus in Utah.

Kimmel made several remarks about the reaction to Kirk’s death last week on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” including that “many in MAGA land are working very hard to capitalize on the murder of Charlie Kirk.”

“This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney,” Carr said on the Benny Johnson podcast. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

House Democratic leaders on Thursday called for Carr’s resignation and accused him of “bullying” ABC into suspending Kimmel.

In a joint statement, the leaders — including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — said the move was part of Trump and Republicans’ effort to wage a “war on the First Amendment.”

Brendan Gleeson worries about social media

7 September 2025

Brendan Gleeson thinks social media makes people seem “hideous”.

Brendan Gleeson worries about social media

The 70-year-old actor is concerned about online algorithms that seemingly work to isolate people and stressed the importance of spreading kindness and bonding through connections and experiences.

He told The Sunday Times’ Culture magazine: “It’s making people seem hideous to each other. If I do a project that makes people somehow feel less alone, that’s the gift. I think most people want to be good people, I think they’re happier when they are. Kindness always reverts to feeling better about yourself.

“We need to keep reiterating this to young people.”

The Banshees of Inisherin star has read untrue things about himself online and tries to get inaccuracies corrected.

He said: “I didn’t actually train as an actor. Somebody put it up on Wikipedia. I told them to take it down a hundred times. I started doing it with a group of fellas in secondary school. And a group of the lads started up a theatre group afterwards. That’s how I started doing it, building sets and seeing how lights work.”

The Harry Potter star – who has four sons including wife Mary – began his acting career while also teaching English in secondary schools and recalled how “alarming” his first screen jobs were when he took the leap to act full time.

He said: “I didn’t know anything about film. So I had to do [the Irish soap opera] Glenroe to find out what happens when the camera goes on my face, which was very alarming.”

Although Brendan believes it has always been a “hard” profession to break into, he advised aspiring actors to create their own opportunities and embrace regional theatre, however small the potential audience.

He said: “It’s always been hard but what I always say to people is, put on your own [show]. Don’t wait for anybody. One of the few good things that happened with the [Celtic] Tiger [economy] was they built a whole load of regional little theatres. It’s an opportunity for people to start writing contemporary stuff and writing stuff that’s relevant to this particular generation.

“Put them on in these places. People are craving it, they want the connections. People will come. If the stuff is good and entertaining and it’s about their lives, they will come.”
