“If I could do it with an iPhone and 50 quid, I was making this film,” says Rich Peppiatt about his award-winning feature Kneecap. The Irish hip-hop “print the legend” biopic on the Belfast-based rap trio — boasting Michael Fassbender among its ensemble — is a far cry from iPhone quality, and has taken the indie film world by storm. Peppiatt’s Irish-language film, riddled with expletives, hallucinogenics and baton twirling mischief, swept up at the British Independent Film Awards in December and on Wednesday, scored six BAFTA nods, including for best British film and outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer. It…

Bratt Pitt’s team has issued a response after a fan of the actor was allegedly scammed out of $850,000. The 53-year-old French woman, named Anne, previously revealed that she was conned after being convinced she was in a long-term relationship with the F1 star. The scammer allegedly used AI technology to impersonate Pitt, sending personalized photos and messages to the woman. Anne was convinced to send nearly $1 million for a cancer treatment, with “Pitt” claiming he was unable to access his bank accounts due to his divorce from Angelina Jolie. The scammer even sent AI-generated images of Pitt in…

The upcoming Melania Trump documentary that Brett Ratner is directing for Amazon will take viewers behind the scenes at the White House and transition, following the first lady as she hires a staff and moves in to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Trump discussed the project for the first time in an interview with Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends on Monday morning. “We started the production in November, and we are shooting right now. So it’s a day-to-day life, what I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have. People, they don’t really know and they will see it,” Trump said. “It’s…

Long before Jesse Eisenberg and Sebastian Stan both earned 2025 Golden Globe Awards nominations, the pair appeared together in an indie coming-of-age drama that marked the directorial debut of rocker Fred Durst.

Ultimately landing in the…

Pamela Anderson isn’t holding back about how good it feels to receive high praise for her new film The Last Showgirl — especially after the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, which was released nearly three years ago, was made without her knowledge, she says. Anderson recently went on Sirius XM’s Andy Cohen Live to discuss The Last Showgirl, and Cohen asked her about Pam & Tommy. “I didn’t have any involvement. No one called me, which was so strange and that was hurtful,” Anderson said. “I think ethically it’s illegal. But I mean, you’re kind of fair game. I remember…

I was truly shocked,” Meaney said. “To be asked to join this long list of very illustrious previous recipients is a huge honor, and I’m thrilled and looking forward…
