The Godfather filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola was reportedly raced to the hospital while in Italy Tuesday morning, according to the Daily Mail. Coppola, who is 86, was hospitalized in Calabria while screening his latest film release Megalopolis. The award-winning filmmaker was also in Italy to scout new locations for his upcoming movie which will begin filming in the fall. The reasons for his hospitalization is unknown. Some local reports alleged that the legendary director would be undergoing heart surgery, according to the Daily Mail. The Daily Beast has reached out to Coppola’s team for comment. The 86-year-old is considered one of the greatest figures in cinema, directing and writing iconic films like The Godfather trilogy—widely considered his break out film that launched his career—and Apocalypse Now. Coppola’s career spans over six decades with his first film Dementia 13 being produced in 1963. His accolades include five Academy Awards, one BAFTA, three Golden Globes, and two Palme d’Or awards. He has also dabbled in other ventures outside of Hollywood, creating and running his own winery in Napa Valley called the Francis Ford Coppola Winery. He lost his wife, Eleanor Coppola, last year in April.

Terry Reid, whose soulful voice was coveted by music royalty in the 1960s and ’70s, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 75. The British singer, guitarist, and songwriter was Jimmy Page’s first choice to front Led Zeppelin’s when the band was being formed in 1968. But Reid, known as “Superlungs,” was committed to supporting The Rolling Stones on their U.S. tour at the time, and recommended Robert Plant for the role, as well as John Bonham for drums. Both would go on to become global superstars with Led Zeppelin in the years that followed. “I was intent on doing my own thing,” Reid told The Guardian in 2024. “I contributed half the band—that’s enough on my part!” Reid’s talents also caught the attention of Aretha Franklin, who said in 1968: “There are only three things happening in England: the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Terry Reid.” When Deep Purple’s Ritchie Blackmore offered him the mic in 1969, Reid again said no, choosing the path of a solo career over stadium stardom. Despite limited chart impact, Reid’s output, including the 1973 album River, has earned enduring critical acclaim. Plant posted a tribute on Facebook Tuesday, writing, “His voice, his range... his songs capturing that carefree era... Superlungs indeed.”

Taylor Kitsch, who played the Panthers’ football star Tim Riggins in Friday Night Lights, will not be returning for the remake. The actor told TheWrap at a The Terminal List: Dark Wolf press conference that he was aware of the reboot, but brushed the offer aside for plans outside of acting. “I was asked to do it. Umm, yeah, I’m not going back. No,” Kitsch said. The actor will instead focus on running a 22-acre treatment center in Montana to help veterans and those battling addiction. “Addiction runs through my family, it’s affected my life on so many levels... and the veteran families have affected my life for the better,” Kitsch said. “We’re gonna create an environment up there for change, inner work... it’s not just broad stroking the same kind of trauma or whatnot, it’s really kind of individualizing their needs, and that’s our focus.” The original 2006 drama surrounds the events of a local high school football team in the rural town of Dillon, Texas. The show ran for five years, ending in 2011, and starred Kyle Chandler, Connie Britton, Jesse Plemons, Minka Kelly, Jurnee Smollett and Michael B. Jordan. The reboot, which will air on Peacock, was announced in Nov. 2024 by Deadline, and will still focus on the highs and lows of high school football.

Oscar-winning actor Sam Rockwell has revealed how he bombed an audition for the hit TV show ER back in the 90s. Rockwell, who was promoting the new family comedy film The Bad Guys 2, was prompted alongside his cast mates Awkwafina, Anthony Ramos, and Marc Maron about an early career audition they “bombed.” Rockwell was the first to immediately answer with ER, before describing how he pulled up to the audition wearing a lab coat and equipped with an unsavory tool. “I came with a lab coat and a hypodermic thing but not the needle part, just the plastic part,” the actor said. Rockwell, who was auditioning for Noah Wyle’s role as Dr. John Carter, “thought [he] nailed it.” “And they were like, ‘This guy’s nuts!’ It’s almost like I brought a gun into the audition,” Rockwell said as his co-stars laughed. “Anyway I did not get the job,” he concluded. Despite the early setbacks, the actor would go on win and Oscar for his role in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

Alfie Wise, who acted alongside Burt Reynolds in The Cannonball Run, Smokey and the Bandit, and numerous other films, has died at 82. Wise’s longtime fiancée Stephanie Bliss told The Hollywood Reporter that he died July 22 of natural causes at a VA hospital in West Palm Beach, Florida. The actor first shared the screen with Reynolds in 1974’s The Longest Yard. Over the next twenty years, he appeared with Reynolds in The End, Hooper, Starting Over, Paternity, Stroker Ace, City Heat and Heat. Their partnership extended beyond the screen—Wise also served as Reynolds’ assistant, according to the Reporter. When Reynolds died in 2018 at age 82, Wise told The New York Daily News, “He loved his friends, and he really kept us very close. His films were like an ongoing block party. I think the audience caught on to that. You always knew you were going to have a great time with a Burt Reynolds movie.” Wise and Reynolds also collaborated on the small screen, including on the crime series B.L Stryker, and a 1991 installment of Reynolds’ sitcom Evening Shade. An Altoona, Pennsylvania, native, Wise graduated from Penn State and served in the U.S. Navy, where he produced shows on his ships before moving to Hollywood.

Heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne’s cause of death has been revealed, according to a newly released death certificate. The 76-year-old Black Sabbath legend died on July 22 after suffering an acute myocardial infarction and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This is doctor speak for a heart attack—and it happens when blood flow to the heart gets blocked, usually by a clot, starving the heart muscle of oxygen and causing tissue to die. The document, obtained by The Sun, also listed coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction. Osbourne—who publicly revealed a Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2019—reportedly died surrounded by family. He was buried last week in a private ceremony on the grounds of his Buckinghamshire estate, with family and a roster of rock legends in attendance. His death came just weeks after a final, emotional return to the stage at Villa Park soccer stadium in his hometown of Birmingham, in England’s West Midlands region. The farewell show marked a rare reunion with his original Black Sabbath bandmates, their first time performing together since 2005. “You’ve no idea how I feel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he said at the packed-out venue.

A British teen has baffled airport security after he accidentally boarded a flight to Italy without a ticket. The 15-year-old was at the airport with his parents to return to London from their vacation in the Spanish island of Menorca when he became separated from them and mistakenly boarded an easyJet flight bound for Milan. After losing sight of him, the boy’s family alerted the authorities, who reviewed security footage and spotted him slipping past gate agents to board the flight. An easyJet spokesperson said: “We have been investigating with the airport and our ground handling provider at [Menora airport] how a young passenger was able to travel unaccompanied on the wrong flight to Milan on 4 August. The passenger was met by our team and the local authorities in Milan. We provided travel arrangements for a family member to meet them later that day and remained in touch with the family to offer our support.”

A Spirit Airlines pilot has been arrested by law enforcement at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Dominic A Cipolla, 40, was “removed from duty” by the Florida-based budget carrier at work in Louisiana after he was charged with stalking two people thought to be around 12 and 17 years old, in a July 11 criminal complaint. Records from Johnson County Courthouse in Olathe, Kansas, seen by The Guardian, are reportedly sparse in information, although the arrest is understood to have taken place on July 17, with Cipolla listed as a resident of Kansas City, Missouri. He is understood to have been held locally before posting a $12,500 bond with an initial court appearance penciled in for August 12. In a statement to the Daily Beast, a spokesperson for Spirit said: “We are aware of a matter involving a Pilot at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, which was unrelated to the performance of their job duties. The Pilot was removed from duty pending our investigation into the matter, and we arranged for another Pilot to operate the flight.”

Natural deodorant may not be the most exciting product in the self-care category, but for many of us, it’s a daily essential. But just because you’re looking for a natural deodorant that actually works doesn’t mean it has to smell like a generic body wash, and Humble Brands’ newest fragrance drop is proof. Humble Brands recently launched its newest scent, Sweet Amber, and it smells like a designer fragrance.

The Sweet Amber scent is Humble’s first aromatherapy product, partly inspired by the brand’s origins in Taos, New Mexico (known as a destination for healing). The amber used in the cruelty-free, aluminum-free deodorant is extracted from ancient, fossilized Himalayan tree resin and was crafted by Humble Brands’ in-house natural perfumer.

In addition to amber, the scent has bright, floral, and creamy sweet notes from jasmine and vanilla—similar to bestselling fragrances like Tom Ford, Le Labo, and Byredo. It also has hints of Nagarmotha, patchouli, and cedarwood, giving it a sweet yet smoky finish. Plus, unlike some perfume and body mists, this deodorant is not overpowering and has a long-lasting yet subtle projection.

The key ingredients in Humble Brands’ aluminum-free deodorant range (including its new scent) are corn starch, baking soda, MCT oil, and beeswax—no aluminum or weird chemicals. The cornstarch naturally helps to absorb sweat, while the baking soda neutralizes odor. The beeswax and MCT oil help soothe the skin by locking in moisture, so it’s great for those with sensitive and dry skin. The best part? All Humble Brands products benefit the non-profit organization,1% for the Planet, so you’ll be investing in a new self-care treat that’s good for yourself and the environment.

Joanna Holland, a model and the third wife of the late television host Johnny Carson, has died at 93. She died in July, although an exact date and cause of death was not released publicly. Carson and Holland met at the 21 Club in 1971, when she was one of New York’s highest-paid models and was divorced with one son. Carson was nine years into hosting The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one year separated from his second wife, Joanne Copeland. He was originally married to Joan “Jody” Wolcott from 1949 to 1963, with whom he shared three sons. After his marriages to Copeland and Holland, he married a fourth time to Alexis Maas in 1987 and stayed with her until he died in 2005 from emphysema. Carson told People that when he first met Holland, he was “flirting like a sophomore” and invited her to his 46th birthday celebration. He called her every day, religiously, at exactly 4:30 p.m. for the next year, until they got secretly married in 1972. Carson, however, had a drinking problem, and the couple got divorced 13 years later. Holland received a generous sum from their divorce proceedings and stayed out of the limelight. Holland’s only child, Joe Holland, died at 32 in 1994 of complications from AIDS, and she became a contributor for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. The foundation paid tribute to her upon her death, writing that she had “Elizabeth Taylor’s spirit of love and support.”

Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp is blaming karma for her brain cancer. The 44-year-old Bravo reality star said Tuesday she has wondered if her stage 4 cancer battle is “payback” for her transgressions in her marriage to Edwin Arroyav. “Nothing goes without payment,” Mellencamp said on The Jamie Kern Lima Show. Mellencamp addressed rumors that she had an affair with horse trainer Simon Schroeder last year. “I’ve never talked about it at all, just because of the kids, and I’ve never wanted anybody to have a guarantee whether it happened or didn’t happen, but what I can say is, did I do things that hurt other people? Yes,” Mellencamp said, adding, “To this day, does it still hurt my heart and I wonder if that’s why it got cancer? Yes, like it was my payback.” The podcaster tied the knot to Arroyave back in 2011, welcoming three kids until filing for divorce in 2024. However, Mellencamp’s brain cancer diagnosis brought the divorce proceedings to a halt. Karli Postel, Simon Schroeder’s ex-wife, also filed for divorce last year after the alleged cheating. “I just want [Edwin] to be happy, and I want our kids to be happy... I don’t want to do anything to hurt him,” she said.
