Avatar director James Cameron’s wife “cried for four hours” after seeing the latest instalment of the movie franchise. Avatar: Fire and Ash wont be out until December, but a “selected few,” including the director’s wife Suzy Amis Cameron, have been granted private screenings. “The feedback has been [that] it’s definitely the most emotional and maybe the best of the three so far,” he said. And his wife would probably agree, if her reported reaction is anything to go by. “She bawled for four hours,” he told Empire. “She kept trying to get her s*** back together so she could tell me specific reactions, and then she’d just tear up and start crying again. Finally, I’m like, ‘Honey, I’ve got to go to bed. Sorry, we’ll talk about it some other time.’” The new production marks the first time the franchise has released a film since 2022, when The Way of Water hit the screens.

The Texas Senate intends to pass legislation that will require the displaying of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms, the Dallas Morning News reported. Senate Bill 10 (SB 10) would require elementary and secondary schools to display the Ten Commandments on 16-inch by 20-inch posters that are legible from any corner of the classroom. All 20 of the state’s Republican senators signed on to the proposal, which would allow schools to use district funds to buy copies or accept donations of displays that depict the Ten Commandments. According to Sen. Phil King, SB 10’s goal is to provide “moral clarity” to students and promote the nation’s “heritage.” “Louisiana has already passed legislation requiring the display of Ten Commandments in public schools, and at least 14 other states have introduced similar legislation,” King said at a committee hearing on the bill. “It is time for Texas to pass SB 10 to bring back the historical tradition of recognizing our national heritage.” Ultimately, King said he believes the bill could compel the U.S. Supreme Court to issue a wider ruling on the issue.

An AI-enhanced video of a scantily clad woman stripping as well as a bizarre clip of a short man dancing with a bottle of liquor were accidentally played during Colombian ex-president Alvaro Uribe‘s historic bribery trial. Prosecutor Marlene Orjuela instigated the embarrassing double blunder as she tried to pull up audio files on her laptop of conversations between two lawyers also implicated in the ongoing trial. The faux pas was caught on a livestream of the trial. Uribe, who is charged with bribery, witness tampering and procedural fraud, looked unimpressed as the whole court—including the judge—burst into laughter. “Your Honor, my apologies. We didn’t foresee that this would happen,” Orjuela said, chuckling after showing the short man dancing merrily. “My apologies, Your Honor, but, well… it’s just that…” she mumbled as the trial turned farcical after the second clip, that appeared to be from a porn site, played. It showed an AI-doctored female in a swimsuit dancing and revealing her buttocks and vagina. Uribe, who denies all charges, likely did not find the slip-up humorous as he faces 12 years in jail. The 72-year-old was president of Colombia between 2002 and 2010.

A dream vacation ended in tragedy for an Australian surfer mauled to death by a shark in Western Australia. Steven Payne, a 37-year-old from Melbourne, was four or five weeks into a six-month vacation with his partner and their dog when he went surfing at the remote Wharton Beach, about an hour from Esperance. The fatal attack occurred on Monday, but authorities have yet to recover Payne’s remains, The Guardian reported. A witness captured drone footage of a shark swimming away from a cloud of blood near the beach and a surfboard with bite marks was found. “Our search is a recovery, not a rescue,” Senior Sgt. Christopher Taylor told reporters. Payne’s family is grappling with the loss, and the Esperance community is also in mourning. “The whole community of Esperance feels the pain,” Taylor said, noting that the area, some 500 miles south of Perth, has now experienced four shark-related fatalities since 2017.

Elon Musk is planning to double the staff in his so-called Department of Government Efficiency. The Tesla mogul said in a Fox Business interview Monday that he would dip into a pool of tech bros to reach his goal of adding 100 more DOGE workers to his existing 100-strong team. “Basically, it’s software people, information security software people and finance,” Musk said. “It’s basically, yes, finance and technology.” He added that his army is “pretty much” in every government department already. The Hill reported that some of his confirmed staffers have ties to his companies, Tesla and xAI, his artificial intelligence firm. Musk also repeated his heroic trope about saving America from so-called fraud. “The goal here is: Let’s not have America go bankrupt with waste and fraud,” Musk told Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. “So that’s what I’m here for.” It comes after a report emerged that Musk’s demands for government cuts were met with pushback from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy in a tense Cabinet meeting last week.

Scarlett Johansson has shared her unfiltered thoughts about the extremely “vulgar” joke her husband, Colin Jost, made at her expense during the regular “joke swap” feature on Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” with co-anchor Michael Che. “I just can’t believe that they went there. I was like—it was so gross. It was really gross. And, like, old-school gross,” Johansson told InStyle as part of a new profile pegged to her role in the upcoming Jurassic World: Rebirth. The actor revealed that she had been warned Che had written a “vagina joke” for Jost to read about her live on-air, but when she realized it involved a Costco roast beef sandwich, she thought, “No, Michael!” What made the whole thing “so intense” was that she was backstage at Studio 8H watching the bit live with lights and a camera in her face to capture her reaction. “They were waiting for me to react. I felt insane. I was like, I think I’m going to faint,” she recalled, adding that she and Jost laughed about the whole thing when they finally got in bed at 4 a.m.: “I was like, ‘My nerves are shot.’ And Colin said, ‘Me too.’”

A new candidate for California governor has entered the race as Kamala Harris decides whether she’s running—or entering the presidential race again. Former Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, who went viral for grilling Trump administration officials and using a “whiteboard of justice” to simplify their policies, is aiming to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom. She hasn’t included Harris in her campaign calculations, saying the former vice president would have a “field-clearing effect.” Her advisers added that Porter “wouldn’t run against Kamala… and likely none of the others will either.” But if Harris decides not to enter the race, Porter think she has a shot at governor, and she’s focusing her campaign on an anti-Trump agenda. “I won’t ever back down when Trump’s hurting Californians,” she said, adding that she’s running against “Big Oil, Big Banks or Big Pharma screwing people over.” Porter represented Orange County in the U.S. House for three terms. She was taught the political ropes by Elizabeth Warren—and even named her child after the Massachusetts senator. Porter joins a crowded field.

Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin’s wife allegedly tried to pay a hitman to kill him, TMZ reported. Victoria Goodwin, was arrested and charged for solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to murder last week. In his show, Goodwin investigates paranormal activity but it would seem like his wife’s plans, which allegedly involved enlisting a Florida prison inmate to kill Goodwin, would have spooked even him. According to police records, the 32-year-old had been messaging the inmate since Oct. 2024 and wrote: “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.” She allegedly offered $11,515 to get the job done and shared her husband’s location with the inmate who would pass on that information to a hitman. Meanwhile, the 48-year-old paranormal investigator was allegedly filming his show in California when the hit was supposed to go down. “He’s asleep right now in the hotel room… I need to know what’s going on. Can I get an update. Was it done?” the inmate texted the hitman. The police stumbled upon the murder-to-hire scheme when an officer confiscated the Florida inmate’s phone as contraband. Although it is unclear what happened to the hitman, the police reported that Victoria Goodwin made a down payment of $2,500 although she denies ever wanting him dead. She allegedly told investigators that despite her marital troubles, she was merely “daydreaming or fantasizing about being without her husband” and that she had no recollection of sending the murderous messages. Still, she was arrested in Nevada on March 6 and is being held on $100,000 bail according to Clark County jail records.

If you’re looking for effective anti-aging skincare formulas that don’t cost the sum of a monthly mortgage payment, take a cue from reality TV star Bethenny Frankel. Frankel, who has amassed quite the following on TikTok over the years, uses the platform to showcase her favorite products, including both luxury and drugstore formulas.

One of her favorite brands for skincare and cosmetics is No7—specifically, its Future Renew collection. Each formula in the line is affordably priced under $50 but, according to Frankel, looks, feels, and performs like higher-end counterparts.

One of her favorites is the Future Renew Damage Reversal Eye Serum. The lightweight anti-aging serum is formulated with Pepticology, the brand’s new and patent-pending peptide technology. This technology is formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while aiding in the skin’s natural repair process for a firmer, brighter, and smoother complexion. Frankel also notes that the wallet-friendly serum layers well with other skincare products (she uses it under her moisturizer), and it “plays well with makeup.”

While skincare is always a worthy splurge (after all, our skin is our biggest organ), you don’t have to shell out $100+ for effective formulas that target the visible signs of aging.

Southwest is changing one of its most notable policies: Bags are no longer flying free. The company, which has scrambled to come up with ideas on how to bring in more cash as it flounders, is implementing the new rule in May. Southwest was so well-known for its free-checked bag rule that it even trademarked the phrase “bags fly free,” dedicating a whole section of its 50th anniversary book to the guideline, according to The Wall Street Journal. Starting May 28, customers with the highest loyalty status and those buying the most expensive tickets will receive two checked bags for free; the next status, alongside Southwest credit card holders, will get one checked bag for no cost. Everyone else, however, will now have to start paying up. Layoffs, ditching open seating, and redesigning cabins with more leg room are just some of the tactics Southwest is using to boost revenue as it lags behind other companies. “I’m not trying to spin it as a very big positive for everybody, but we did try to protect our engaged customers here,” Southwest CEO Andrew Watterson said.

Things are not going great for five of the billionaire guests of President Donald Trump at his inauguration. Technology company honchos Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, as well as Google co-founder Sergey Brin and luxury goods conglomerate boss Bernard Arnault have collectively lost $209 billion in wealth since then, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Share prices of the companies they run or own initially did well after the election, but things have taken a turn for the worse in the economy since his inauguration, as Trump followed through on his threats to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico, imposed mass layoffs of government employees, and sided with Russia in its conflict with Ukraine. Musk’s overall wealth is down $148 billion after Tesla sales tanked, with Bezos down $29 billion and Brin losing $22 billion of his wealth in line with declines in Amazon and Alphabet’s shares, respectively. Meta CEO Zuckerberg’s wealth is down $5 billion, as is that of Arnault, CEO of Louis Vuitton and Dior owner LVMH, which has been affected by potential tariffs on European luxury goods.
