Updates on the Christy Martin Biopic – Hollywood Life

Sydney Sweeney is stepping into the boxing ring—or more accurately, punching it—for what might be her most physically and emotionally demanding role yet. In Christy, the new biopic premiering at TIFF, the Emmy-nominated actress portrays legendary boxer Christy Martin. Sweeney, 27, committed fully to the role, even literally delivering real punches alongside her co-stars. “Every single fight you see, we are actually punching each other. We are going full force,” she told Vanity Fair—and yes, she emerged with bruises and concussions to prove it.

She’s also making her case beyond the ring: “I was blown away that her story wasn’t more known on a universal, global level,” Sweeney said of Martin, calling her “one of the most harrowing and inspiring women that I’ve ever met in my entire life.” That emotional weight is underscored by Sweeney’s physical transformation—training for months, gaining more than 30 pounds, and stepping fully into Martin’s shoes.

With production wrapped and excitement growing over Sweeney’s transformative performance, many fans are eager to know more about the film, the true story behind it, and when it will hit theaters. Find out more about the Christy Martin boxing biopic below.

Who Is Christy Martin?

Martin is a groundbreaking American professional boxer who rose to fame in the 1990s, earning the nickname “The Coal Miner’s Daughter.” She’s widely credited with bringing women’s boxing into the mainstream, becoming the first woman signed by promoter Don King and fighting on high-profile cards. Martin won the WBC women’s super welterweight title and retired with a record of 49 wins, 7 losses, and 3 draws.

Beyond her victories, Martin’s story resonated with fans for her courage outside the ring as well. In 2010, she survived a near-fatal attack by her then-husband and manager, James Martin. She later testified against him in court, and today she uses her platform to advocate against domestic violence while continuing to mentor young fighters.

What Is ‘Christy’ Starring Sydney Sweeney About?

The film—directed by David Michôd and co-written with Mirrah Foulkes—chronicles Martin’s rise in the 1990s, her role in breaking barriers for women’s boxing, and the deeply personal struggles she endured behind the scenes. It doesn’t shy away from her survival story after the 2010 domestic violence attack that nearly cost her life, making the biopic both a sports drama and an intimate portrait of resilience.

Michôd described the project as “a wild mix of inspiring underdog sports-world story and personal saga,” praising Sweeney’s dedication: “Sydney trained her butt off to play the part. The beauty of Sydney is that she turned up to work every day with her tail wagging, ready to go. No matter how tough it was, she was like a ray of sunshine.”

Sweeney transformed physically and emotionally for the role, gaining over 30 pounds and committing to a grueling daily training regimen. “I loved it,” she told W Magazine. “I had about three and a half months of training. I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour.”

Is the Christy Martin Biopic Based on a True Story?

Yes. The film is a true-to-life portrayal of Martin’s journey, from her barrier-breaking success in professional boxing to her survival and recovery after enduring a brutal domestic violence incident.

When Does ‘Christy’ Come Out?

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September 2025, where Sweeney’s performance drew immediate attention. According to Deadline, a wider theatrical release is slated for later in 2025, though exact distribution details are still to be announced. Filming wrapped in late 2024.

Meet Her Daughter Willow & Son Jameson Hart – Hollywood Life

Pink can do it all! The Grammy Award-winning singer, 44, is not only a legend in the music industry, but she’s also the proud mother of two children, whom she shares with her husband Carey Hart, 48. The couple, who got married in 2006, welcomed their first child, daughter Willow Sage, in June 2011. Five years later, their son Jameson Moon joined the family.

Pink, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, loves being a mom so much. But previously, she confessed to People that she was initially “terrified” to have children because she was worried she’d “be a terrible mother.” And she couldn’t have been more wrong! “But, oh my God, being a mom is the most incredible thing I’ve ever done,” Pink also said in that interview. “It’s shocking how responsible I’ve become.”

Below, learn all about Pink’s kids, Willow Sage and Jameson.

Willow Sage Hart

Pink’s daughter was born on June 2, 2011. “We are ecstatic to welcome our new beautiful healthy happy baby girl, Willow Sage Hart,” Pink wrote on Twitter when she announced her daughter’s arrival. “She’s gorgeous, just like her daddy #beyondblessed.”

Willow, now 14, has followed in her mother’s footsteps as a performer. In December 2020, Pink and Willow teamed up for The Disney Holiday Singalong where they performed a duet of the classic “The Christmas Song.” Willow was then featured on her mom’s 2021 single “Cover Me In Sunshine,” dueting with the popstar on a heartfelt ballad. A few months later, Willow joined her mom on stage at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards for an impressive aerial routine. Willow also has other passions that Pink revealed in a 2021 interview with People. “Willow does gymnastics and reads Harry Potter and is convinced she’s going to Hogwarts when she’s 11, and I don’t have the heart to tell her that she’s not,” the “So What” singer said.

Jameson Moon Hart

Pink’s son was born on December 26, 2016, and she announced his arrival on Instagram. The singer shared a photo of her husband holding baby Jameson, with the caption, “I love my baby daddy.”

Jameson, now 8, is the most adorable little boy and he’s so loved by both his parents. Pink frequently posts footage of Jameson doing all kinds of different activities on her social media. Jameson has also been to many red carpet events with his famous mom and the rest of their family. In an interview with People, Pink revealed that her son “wants to be an astronaut.” She also said that both Jameson and Willow are “normal kids.”

King Charles III is decently healthy at the age of 76. However, the monarch, who is married to his wife, Queen Camilla, revealed he was diagnosed with a “form of cancer” that was discovered following a surgery. The diagnosis reportedly “shocked” multiple insiders from Buckingham Palace, according to People.

“I was really shocked when I heard it,” the source told the publication on February 6, before adding, “He has not looked himself. I put it down to grief — he’d had two deaths close together — but maybe he wasn’t well, without realizing so. It would take it out of him.”

King Charles’ health has been at the upmost importance for the Palace since he became king after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II, who lived to the age of 96. In May 2025, his son Prince Harry made a rare comment about his estrangement from his family and noted he wanted “reconciliation” with his father.

“Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has,” Harry acknowledged in a BBC interview that month. “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff. But it would be nice to reconcile. … I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.”

Here’s everything you need to know about King Charles III’s health.

King Charles III Was Treated for an Enlarged Prostate

Buckingham Palace released a statement on January 17, 2024, announcing that King Charles was going to be hospitalized for an upcoming surgery.

“In common with thousands of men each year, The King has sought treatment for an enlarged prostate,” the statement read. “His Majesty’s condition is benign and he will attend hospital next week for a corrective procedure. The King’s public engagements will be postponed for a short period of recuperation.”

News of King Charles’ surgery broke the same day that Kensington Palace announced that his daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, was hospitalized for a “planned abdominal surgery.” The Palace confirmed that Kate’s surgery was successful and she was recovering.

What Is an Enlarged Prostate?

An enlarged prostate, called Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can cause bladder, urinary tract or kidney problems, according to the Mayo Clinic. The condition becomes more common with age, especially in men over 50. Treatments include medicines, surgery and other procedures.

How Is King Charles III’s Health Today?

Charles and Camilla were seen leaving The London Clinic on January 29, 2024. The palace gave the latest update on Charles’ health that same day “The King was this afternoon discharged from hospital following planned medical treatment and has rescheduled forthcoming public engagements to allow for a period of private recuperation,” the palace said in a statement, according to ABC News.

The Royal Family’s Instagram account released a statement on January 29, as well. “Thank you to all those who have sent their good wishes during The King’s hospital stay,” the statement read. “His Majesty is delighted that his diagnosis is having a positive impact on public health awareness.”

Shortly after his procedure, Camilla visited Aberdeen, Scotland, and in a video by ITV reporter Chris Ship, she said that he was doing well after the procedure. “He’s fine, thank you very much. Looking forward to getting back to work,” she said in the clip shared on X. 

A palace insider also opened up about why the monarch decided to be candid about the health issues and disclose exactly what was going on. “It was sensible to be more open about it, as otherwise, people might have thought the worst,” the source told PEOPLE for a January 25, 2024 report.

On January 26, 2024, Queen Camilla was seen leaving the London Clinic where her husband was staying. As she walked out, she told reporters in a separate online video that Charles is “fine.” PEOPLE reported that the king was doing well following the procedure.

Unfortunately, doctors discovered that Charles has a form of cancer, Buckingham Palace confirmed in a public statement on February 5, 2024.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace’s statement read. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.”

Charles spoke out about the support he’s received since his going public with his diagnosis in an Instagram post on February 11, 2024. “I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” he said. “As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”

King Charles III’s Past Health Issues

King Charles has dealt with minimal health issues in his lifetime. Back in 2003, when he was still Prince Charles, he hurt his hernia laying hedges in the gardens at one of his estates and underwent a “fairly routine operation,” according to the BBC. In 2008, he had a “minor and routine” procedure to remove a non-cancerous growth from his face, according to the Associated Press.

King Charles has also had COVID-19 twice. He first tested positive for the virus in March 2020 as the worldwide pandemic began. At the time, his spokesperson told PEOPLE that Charles was in “good spirits” and continued working at home amid “mild symptoms.” He tested positive for the virus a second time in February 2022. Clarence House said in a statement that he was “self-isolating” until he was free to resume his royal duties.

David Byrne Laughs at the Weirdness of Life on 'Who Is the Sky?'

David Byrne Laughs at the Weirdness of Life on ‘Who Is the Sky?’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

By now, fans see David Byrne as more than a quirky dude in a beloved legacy rock act. He’s a plainspoken public intellectual; an advocate for civic improvement and multi-cultural cooperation; a neurodiverse poet of the modern condition; an artistic éminence grise with fingers on multiple cultural pulses. In some ways, as the multi-format American Utopia project showed, a sort of non-denominational minister, with a goofy sense of humor, who one might look to for guidance, hope, encouragement and words of wisdom when things get scary.

Well, things are pretty scary right now, and on his first album of original songs since before the pandemic, Byrne is … writing musical comedy. “I met the Buddha at a downtown party,” he announces on the bouncy song of the same name; “he was hangin’ by the pastries and the canapés/Just stuffing himself like there was no tomorrow/With a beatific smile all over his face.” When the singer expresses concern, the deity schools him: “‘I’ve had to retire from that enlightenment biz/I don’t have the answers, and I never did/They think I can help them, but I’m not that smart/ so here, have a piece of this blue blueberry tart!’”

In “The Avant Garde,” the art school student-turned-pop singer acts out an aesthetic crisis over an intermittently jerky groove, rhyming “I saw a woman in a leotard” with “I’m not sure how I feel ‘bout the avant garde,” and positing “it doesn’t mean shit” in the chorus. On “Moisturizing Thing,” over cheeky string arrangements, his sweetheart says: “‘Hey David, put this on your skin/It says it’s anti-aging, anti-oxidant too/ go ahead, try it/Let’s see what it can do.’” Lo and behold, it transforms the singer into an apparent toddler. “My honey wakes up, she looks over and screams,” he recounts; “that lotion is magic, I look like I’m three.”

The storytelling style isn’t off-brand for a polymath who’s been making stage musicals for two decades, longer if you count Eighties collaborations with Twyla Tharpe (The Catherine Wheel) and the late Robert Wilson (Music for “The Knee Plays”). There’s also evident connection here with Byrne’s recent interactive Theater of the Mind project, and a rap sheet of role-play songwriting that stretches back to “Psycho Killer” and “Life During Wartime.”    

Editor’s picks

What made those songs work, and these, is the sound of Byrne’s mind cogitating inside them. Memoir seems to flicker through Who Is The Sky? — whose title, Byrne cops, comes from an AI voice transcription error of the phrase “who is this guy?” Worries over aging, about people sweating you for your creative choices, or hoping for words of wisdom to decode the world’s madness, seem like triggers Byrne might well have. And tbh, it’s refreshing, and hilarious, to hear Byrne sounding downright bitchy on “The Avant Garde,” since dude rarely dials things up past pointedly wry (not to mention having a CV full of his own mea culpas).  

There’s evident memoir, too, in the album’s love songs, considering Byrne’s imminent marriage to the writer/hedge-fund founder Mala Gaonkar, a fellow polymath (NB: his wedding dinner playlist is definitely worth a listen). On “What is the Reason For It?,” Byrne overthinks the phenomenon of love atop mariachi-brass abstracts with a charming assist from Paramore’s Hayley Williams, the latest of his 21st -century-pop sidekicks — see also Robyn, Olivia Rodrigo and St. Vincent’s Annie Clark, a veteran Byrne collaborator who turns up here on “Ev’rybody Laughs,” the LP’s lead single and default mission statement. “She Explains Things To Me” is another love song, of sorts. It’s the record’s most touching and vulnerable moment, an expression of gratitude, with faintly comic frustration, for someone who enlarges your perspective, mansplaining re-imagined as man-listening.

Trending Stories

Musically, Byrne taps into modern-ish pop strategies via Harry Styles producer Kid Harpoon. But being Byrne, he’s also enlisted the New York-based Ghost Train Orchestra, a chamber ensemble known for their interpretations of the late composer/street musician Moondog, and jazz-rock drummer Tom Skinner of Radiohead side-band, the Smile. If Byrne’s approach recalls that of Colors, Beck’s 2017 pop turn with Greg Kurstin, the touch here is lighter, with the multicultural rhythmic and melodic surprises that always brighten Byrne’s solo work. 

Related Content

The risk with humor in songs, of course, is that jokes wear thin. But laughing’s pleasurable and undeniably therapeutic; it may even be a pop music trend (ie: Laufey’s salty punchlines, laugh-advocate Laraaji’s contributions to the new Big Thief album). Either way, Who Is The Sky? is an compelling invitation, like the one Byrne offered on the Talking Heads signature “Road to Nowhere” — beautifully covered by Brazilian expat Rogê on a forthcoming Heads tribute LP, it should be noted — to join him on what’s looking like a long ride into who knows what, singing and laughing as needed.

How Much Money the Late Designer Made – Hollywood Life

Giorgio Armani’s name is synonymous with elegance and timeless style. The Italian designer, who passed away at age 91 on September 4, 2025, transformed the fashion industry with his unstructured tailoring and minimalist designs that redefined modern luxury. His death came just as the Armani brand was preparing to celebrate its 50th anniversary, a milestone marking five decades of his enduring influence on fashion. From dressing Hollywood stars on the red carpet to building a global empire with Armani Privé, Emporio Armani, and Armani Exchange, Armani’s vision reached far beyond the runway. Along the way, he also amassed an extraordinary fortune.

Below, learn more about him and how much the late designer was worth at the time of his death.

Who Was Giorgio Armani?

Born on July 11, 1934, in Piacenza, Italy, Armani originally studied medicine before shifting to photography and then fashion. He began his career as a window dresser at Milan’s La Rinascente department store before moving into design at Nino Cerruti in the 1960s.

In 1975, Armani founded his own label with his partner Sergio Galeotti, introducing a new vision of menswear defined by unstructured tailoring and a softer silhouette. This minimalist yet luxurious style quickly became his signature, setting him apart in an era of more rigid fashion. By the 1980s, Armani had expanded into womenswear, fragrances, eyewear, accessories, and later hotels, creating one of the world’s most diversified lifestyle brands.

Armani remained at the helm until the end, still overseeing collections and company projects in his final days. His death came just weeks before the brand’s planned 50th-anniversary celebration at Milan Fashion Week.

The company wrote in an Instagram statement translated from Italian, “Mr. Armani, as he was always called with respect and admiration by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones. Tireless, he has worked until the last days, dedicating himself to the company, to the collections, to the different and always new projects in being and to becoming.”

What Was Giorgio Armani’s Net Worth?

At the time of his death, Armani’s personal fortune was estimated between $9.4 billion (per Bloomberg) and $12.1 billion (per Forbes).

How Much Is the Armani Company Worth?

The Armani Group, under Armani’s sole ownership, was valued at roughly $9 billion, with 2024 revenues around €2.3 billion (about $2.7 billion). The company includes ventures in fashion, fragrances, home goods, hotels, and hospitality.

Is Cory Booker Married? Meet the Senator’s Fiancée & Past Girlfriends – Hollywood Life

Senator Cory Booker’s political career keeps him busy, but his personal life has often shared the spotlight. After a high-profile romance with actress Rosario Dawson, the New Jersey lawmaker announced his engagement to girlfriend Alexis Lewis in 2025.

He shared the news on social media on September 2, writing, “Alexis is one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life. She has transformed me, helping me to ground and center my inner life, and discover the joys of building a nurturing home with someone you love. I’m thrilled to share: Alexis and I are engaged!”

With the exciting update, learn whether Booker has ever been married before and more about his relationship history below.

Is Cory Booker Married?

No, Senator Booker is not married yet. He has never been married but announced his engagement to Lewis in September 2025.

He added in his caption, “I am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend, and now my fiancée. We are excited for this journey ahead, having so much fun, and feeling deeply grateful for the love, support, and energy so many of you have shared with us. We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such a beautiful community lifting us in love and commitment.”

Rosario Dawson

Booker was in a relationship with actress, producer and activist Rosario Dawson from 2019 to 2022. The couple even moved in together during Booker’s 2020 presidential run.

While speaking with The Washington Post in 2019, Booker recalled the moment when his and Dawson’s connection became clear. “I mean, gosh, that night we talked for hours and hours,” he told the publication. “I had trouble asking for her phone number … I think I said something really stupid like, ‘Uh, how would I get in touch with you?’ And she mercifully said something like, ‘Oh, you want my phone number?’ And my insides were like, ‘Hell, yeah!’”

That year, Booker also gushed about how “deeply soulful” Dawson is as a person while discussing their relationship with Ellen DeGeneres. “She is just a deeply soulful person and has taught me a lot of lessons about love already,” he said, per Ebony. “Sometimes you show the greatest strength when you make yourself vulnerable. She really has this nurturing spirit that’s made me more courageous, not just in the love I project and want to see in our country, but I think in our own personal relationships to love more fearlessly.”

For her part, Dawson praised Booker in an early 2021 Instagram post after he kept his senate seat. “So proud of and grateful for you my love. I got to vote for you here in New Jersey and am so glad that you overwhelmingly and rightfully won your seat again,” the Dopesick alum wrote at the time. “To know your leadership will continue to guide us with love, brilliance, patience, grace and effectiveness is the kind of representation and hope we need.”

Despite their breakup, Booker and Dawson have remained on good terms, and the actress has even kept photos of them together on her Instagram. After Booker announced his engagement to Lewis, Dawson showed her support by commenting on his post, “Love Love! Congratulations you two! ❤️❤️”

Cleo Wade

Before Booker dated Dawson, he was in a relationship with artist and Instagram poet Cleo Wade, Page Six reported in 2016. The former couple were spotted at various events together at the time.

Wade was a stylist for pop star Katy Perry, per Page Six.

Who Is Francoise Galpin in ‘Wednesday’ Season 2? Meet Tyler’s Mother – Hollywood Life

Season 2 of Wednesday introduced us to brand-new characters, and some of them tell Tyler Galpin’s (Hunter Doohan) backstory. During part 2 of the second season, viewers learned that Tyler’s mom, Francoise Galpin, was at Willow Hill. Below, Hollywood Life has compiled all the details we know about Francoise, her life and her family.

(Warning: spoilers are ahead for all of season 2 of Wednesday) 

Is Wednesday Getting a Season 3?

Yes! Our favorite creepy and kooky and mysterious and spooky character is coming back for a third round, Netflix confirmed earlier this year. Season 2 ended with Wednesday’s best friend and roomie, Enid Sinclair (Emma Myers), transforming into an alpha werewolf, which forces her to flee Nevermore and live a life of solitude. So, what does this mean for season 3?

Miles Millar, co-showrunner and co-creator of Wednesday, told Netflix’s Tudum that fans “should be very worried for Enid” now that we know her fate. “We’re certainly worried for Enid,” Miles added.

“It’s a big deal for Enid and getting out of this is going to be difficult,” Miles continued. “Female friendship and sisterhood is the heart and soul of the show. Wednesday and Enid had some ups and downs this season, but that moment of pure sacrifice is a really great climactic moment for Enid’s arc this season.”

As for Emma, the actress said her character “is going to be stuck as a werewolf, having some crazy adventures up in Canada. But she’s going on a journey to find how to turn back into a human.”

“Wolf-Enid probably expects Wednesday to come find and help her — or, at least, I imagine she hopes for it,” Emma added.

As for Tyler, Wednesday’s former love interest, he becomes a complicated ally, dare we say, at the end of season 2.

Who Is Francoise Galpin in Wednesday?

Francoise Galpin is Tyler’s mom. That’s right — she’s isn’t dead, like he thought, and she’s a Hyde just like her son. Francoise is also the former wife of Sheriff Donovan Galpin. A former normie, Francoise was institutionalized at Willow Hill after giving birth to Tyler after her postpartum depression unearthed her Hyde nature.

Morticia strikes a deal with Francoise to spare Wednesday and keep Tyler away from Jericho, and the mother and son have a touching moment before viewers see her cough up blood — and indication that she’s withering away without a master. Hydes need a master to survive, but females can live without one for a while; males, however, can’t.

Francoise temporarily serves as Tyler’s master to ensure he survives, but how long can that last?

Who Is Isaac Night in Wednesday?

Isaac — a.k.a Slurp the zombie — is Francoise’s brother and Tyler’s uncle. Slurp escapes from Willow Hill just like the Galpin family did and eats multiple victims’ brains in his path. Over time, Slurp morphs back into human form, revealing his mortal self, Isaac, whose story traces back to Nevermore Academy.

It turns out that Isaac was the roommate of Wednesday’s father, Gomez, while they attended Nevermore. While there, Isaac tried to save Francoise with a machine from being a Hyde, since it’s practically a death sentence, and he needed Gomez’s help. However, the machine would result in Gomez’s death, which Morticia prevented. The machine broke down and killed Isaac, so Gomez and Morticia buried him in the cemetery until their son, Pugsley, (Wednesday’s brother) resurrected him as the zombie, Slurp.
