Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and teammate Travis Kelce are being sued by a sneaker company over the name of their Kansas City restaurant, 1587 Prime. The suit from 1587 Sneakers alleges trademark infringement, saying the restaurant’s name and branded merchandise could confuse customers with its own established “1587” brand.
Mahomes and Kelce opened the steakhouse last year with the name inspired by their jersey numbers (15 for Mahomes and 87 for Kelce), but the shoe brand claims it was using the four-digit mark earlier in footwear and apparel.
The sneaker company’s application to trademark “1587” is reportedly still under review, while Mahomes’ group registered “1587 Prime” last year in the restaurant category.
Legal experts say the case may hinge on whether consumers really could be confused between a restaurant and a shoe label — two different industries that sometimes can share similar names.

Country legend Tim McGraw recently revealed he had to go toe-to-toe with his own record label and industry elites to keep his early hit “Indian Outlaw” on his second album — despite executives calling it too controversial and “not country music.” The 58-year-old said he fell in love with the song after hearing it live and insisted it be included, even though the label repeatedly rejected it. His gamble paid off: Indian Outlaw became his first top-10 country hit and went platinum, helping launch his massive career. McGraw acknowledged the cultural pushback, met with Native American leaders about the song’s stereotypes, and encouraged using the song to spark positive conversations. Looking back, he credits that fight — and the success that followed — as a pivotal moment in shaping his long-lasting success in country music.

Vanity Fair has dramatically cut its 2026 Oscar party guest list in half, focusing the roster strictly on A-list Hollywood talent and actual Oscar winners under new editorial leadership. The exclusive after-party, set to take place at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, will also enforce no social-media posting from inside and keep most press outside the event perimeter. In a clear break from recent years, Donald Trump and other Trump administration figures were notably snubbed from this year’s invitations, reflecting a shift away from mixing politics with Tinseltown’s biggest night. Historically the bash has welcomed politicians and power players alongside movie stars, but the new strategy is about restoring the party’s original elite allure. Organizers are now treating a personal invite or an Oscar statuette as the primary ticket in — a move likely to make this year’s guest list one of the most coveted in years.

Actor Anna Sawai is opening up about stepping into the role of Yoko Ono in director Sam Mendes’ ambitious four-film Beatles biopic event, calling it “very meaningful” to tell the misunderstood artist’s story.

Paramount’s long-anticipated sequel to the iconic 1997 action hit Face/Off has hit a major roadblock: director Adam Wingard has exited the project after years of attachment, leaving the studio to reopen the search for fresh directorial vision.

Originally tapped to helm the follow-up — which many hoped would reunite stars Nicolas Cage and John Travolta — Wingard’s departure signals a significant shift in the film’s development just as buzz was building around its return.

Despite this setback, Paramount hasn’t scrapped the sequel entirely, instead turning the director’s chair into an open assignment for interested filmmakers to pitch bold new takes on the story.

Cage, whose electric performance helped make the original a cult classic, remains a hopeful anchor for fans eager to see him reprise his role — though no official casting or release details have been locked down yet.

Veteran music industry powerbroker Irving Azoff has publicly blasted YouTube for its decision to stop providing streaming data to Billboard charts, accusing the platform of undermining fair measurement and compensation for artists.

In a sharply worded open letter, Azoff urged the music business — and lawmakers — to stand up to what he called YouTube’s “bullying” and its outdated approach to how streams are counted for chart placements.

YouTube had earlier said it would withdraw its data from Billboard’s charts, claiming the current formula for weighting ad-supported streams no longer made sense, a move that could reshape how hits are tallied.

Azoff argues this change disadvantages artists and skews the industry’s view of what’s truly popular, pushing for greater transparency and respect for creative creators.

Sony Pictures is developing a brand-new Venom movie, but instead of live-action it’s taking the franchise into animation with veteran filmmakers Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein directing.

The animated project is being shaped at Sony Pictures Animation, with a writers’ room just opening to craft the story — meaning the script and full plot are still early in development.

Tom Hardy, who brought Eddie Brock/Venom to life in the live-action trilogy, is understood to be involved in some capacity, though it’s unclear if he’ll voice the character or take on a producer role.

Producers from the original films like Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are expected to return, linking the animated spin-off to the established Venom universe.

The move marks Sony’s push to reinvent the Venom brand beyond live-action, potentially reaching new audiences while keeping fan interest alive.

The former Jersey Shore personality — now 38 and a mom of three — posted the news in a candid TikTok update, saying the early-stage detection was frightening but a relief because it makes treatment more manageable.

Snooki revealed she’s struggled with abnormal pap smear results for years and urged her followers — especially women — to stay on top of routine screenings to catch potential issues early.

She’s planning a PET scan to see if the cancer has spread and is considering a hysterectomy as part of her treatment, with her doctors weighing options like chemotherapy or radiation if needed.

“Sex Education” alum Emma Mackey has exited the much-anticipated Nancy Meyers romantic comedy set to release on Christmas Day 2027, leaving fans and studios scrambling for a new lead.

The rom-com — which moved from Netflix to Warner Bros. and had a hefty $100M+ budget — was gearing up to start production when Mackey stepped away, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts with her slate of other films including Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew.

Insiders note that the part she left behind was inherited after Scarlett Johansson’s earlier exit, making the last-minute departure a headache for the holiday tentpole.

Warner Bros. is now actively searching for a replacement, though other big names like Penélope Cruz, Kieran Culkin, Jude Law and Owen Wilson are still attached.

Meyers’ project has been touted as her return to the director’s chair after over a decade, amplifying the pressure to keep momentum despite the casting shake-up.

This public moment comes nine months into their contentious divorce process — which included Scott filing for divorce and a restraining order last year before later dropping it as they worked through legal and personal challenges.

Despite past turmoil — including Kelley’s mental-health treatment and legal issues — both parents expressed commitment to co-parenting and maintaining respect and love for each other and their kids.

Scott told People the outing was a step toward healing and thanked fans for their support, stressing honesty and love as priorities for the family.

Pop megastar Taylor Swift has been reflecting on marriage with fresh candor as she gears up for her upcoming wedding to fiancé Travis Kelce — saying she’s genuinely excited about marrying her person but didn’t obsess over wedding details until she met him.

In interviews, Swift has shared that she never mapped out a “perfect wedding day” growing up, and that planning with Travis has been a new, happy challenge rather than a pre-set checklist.

Her music has long explored the idea of commitment — from youthful fantasies in early tracks to more mature takes on love, loss and choosing partnership — showing how her views evolved over time.
She’s also embraced the practical side of tying the knot, weighing things like dates and how to make the celebration meaningful for both her and Travis.

Emmy-nominated Severance producer Nicky Weinstock has jumped on board to help make The Black Book 2 – Old Scores, a follow-up to the blockbuster Nigerian crime thriller that topped Netflix charts worldwide.

Netflix’s new adult animated courtroom comedy Strip Law — starring Adam Scott as hapless Vegas lawyer Lincoln Gumb — delivers a barrage of crude humor, surreal courtroom antics and nonstop pop-culture gags in its first season.
Scott’s character, desperate to win cases, teams up with flamboyant street magician Sheila Flambé (voiced by Janelle James) to spice up his legal practice amid absurd trials that include everything from suing body parts to disputing the existence of Santa.
Critics say the show channels adult animation’s zanier side but often overwhelms jokes with sheer volume, leaning heavily on rapid-fire references rather than deeper storytelling or character arcs.
While some applaud its chaotic energy and sharp voice cast, others find Strip Law more distracting than clever, with the spectacle sometimes outshining the satire.
Still, Scott’s performance anchors the series’ off-kilter tone, giving viewers plenty of laughs amid the Las Vegas-style legal absurdity, even if it doesn’t always stick

After the shocking arrest of her ex-husband Prince Andrew on suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to his controversial Epstein connections, former Duchess Sarah Ferguson is reportedly feeling cornered and overwhelmed, with friends saying she believes “everyone is out to get her.”
Sources suggest Ferguson has abandoned plans for a tell-all memoir and is struggling with paranoia and poor mental health, partly because her public image has taken a hit due to past ties revealed in the Epstein files.
She’s been out of the public eye for months and remains uncertain about her future — both personally and financially — as the scandal continues to swirl around her and Andrew.
Despite not being accused of any crime, the intense scrutiny and media pressure seem to have left her isolated and defensive, fueling her belief that critics and authorities are closing in.

Director James Cameron has publicly voiced concern about the proposed Netflix–Warner Bros. Discovery deal, warning that it could drastically reshape movie theaters and the broader film industry. He argues that a Netflix-led takeover might reduce theatrical releases and shift too much power to streaming platforms, pushing Hollywood further from traditional cinema economics. Cameron insists Paramount’s bid offers a more balanced future for movies and should be taken seriously by regulators and shareholders alike. His stance adds high-profile pressure to an already intense bidding war between Netflix and Paramount Skydance for control of Warner Bros. Discovery. Industry figures and lawmakers are now watching closely as the fight for one of Hollywood’s biggest assets heats up.

In Moscas (Flies), Teresita Sánchez delivers a quietly powerful performance as Olga, a solitary woman whose rigid world in Mexico City is upended when she reluctantly takes in a young boy and his father in her rented room. Shot in evocative black-and-white, the film from director Fernando Eimbcke blends dry humor with heartfelt human connection, charting a slow yet meaningful emotional shift between characters who at first seem mismatched. Nine-year-old Bastian Escobar impresses as the lively child whose presence forces Olga to confront her own guarded heart, while Hugo Ramírez adds depth as the boy’s devoted but struggling father. Critics are praising the film’s subtle storytelling and genuine performances as standout at the Berlin International Film Festival. Flies is earning buzz for its delicate balance of comedy, drama and its exploration of unexpected friendships.

In the new black-comedy thriller How to Make a Killing, Glen Powell stars as Becket Redfellow, a disinherited man who embarks on a murderous quest to claw back his family’s vast fortune. The film, directed by John Patton Ford and loosely inspired by the 1949 classic Kind Hearts and Coronets, mixes dark humor with modern caper thrills but lands with mixed results. Critics note that while Powell’s charm keeps the movie afloat, the script often lacks sharp satire and the biting edge you’d expect from a tale of murder for inheritance. Margaret Qualley co-stars as Julia, Becket’s childhood friend whose influence nudges him deeper into his deadly plan, but even her presence can’t fully elevate the uneven tone. Though stylishly made and entertaining at times, the film doesn’t quite deliver the punch its premise promises, leaving audiences divided.

Jason Bateman is speaking out after online critics slammed him for comments he made to singer Charli XCX about her decision not to have children during a recent SmartLess podcast episode. Bateman suggested Charli “might change her mind” about having kids someday, citing his own experience with his wife, but the remark sparked strong social media pushback for seeming dismissive of her personal choice. The actor, best known for Arrested Development and Ozark, told The Hollywood Reporter that the question was just a natural follow-up in a conversation about Charli’s upbringing as an only child and that he found the reactions interesting and educational. Charli, who is married to The 1975 drummer George Daniel, had clearly stated she doesn’t want children, and the exchange quickly went viral.

Ramirez’s effortlessly cool presence and classic tailoring spotlight AMIRI’s mix of relaxed West Coast chic and sophisticated runway pieces. Photographer Hart Leshkina captured the imagery, emphasizing character and storytelling as central motifs — much like a film still rather than a traditional fashion ad. With its blend of nostalgia and modern flair, this campaign pushes AMIRI’s aesthetic well beyond mere clothes into cultural storytelling. The launch underlines AMIRI’s ongoing strategy of merging luxury fashion with cinematic sensibilities to stand

Reality TV star Lisa Rinna got a shout-out from Real Housewives alum Dorinda Medley, who tells E! News she genuinely enjoyed their dynamic while filming The Traitors together — even though their time in the castle was brief and intense. Medley, now set to reunite with her RHONY pals on the upcoming docuseries The Golden Life, said she loved Rinna’s humor, wit and iconic wardrobe while they navigated the Peacock competition. She also noted that strong personalities were part of what will make Golden Life entertaining when cameras roll in Palm Beach this year. Medley’s comments contrast with some past off-camera drama involving other castmates, but she stressed the bond she felt with Rinna was positive. Fans of both housewives are watching closely as their TV journeys continue across multiple reality franchises in 2026.
