Actress Nicole Kidman shared a first look at the highly anticipated sequel to her 1998 film Practical Magic on Instagram. In the clip, Kidman stands in a cemetery with co-star Sandra Bullock as they lovingly embrace and look at headstones. Bullock can be heard saying, “Cheers up, we have a lot of work to do,” as she pats Kidman on the back. Kidman summed up the moment with a caption, writing, “The witches are back✨Owens sisters’ first day on set! #PracticalMagic.” The sequel, which has simply been referred to across outlets as Practical Magic 2, is due to be released September 2026, Deadline reported. The sequel will reportedly follow the events of writer Alice Hoffman’s novel, The Book of Magic, delving deeper into the Owens family history and how Sally (Bullock) and Gillian (Kidman) keep the dark forces at bay. The first film followed Hoffman’s first book of the same name.

Shannon Sharpe and a woman accusing him of sexual assault have settled their $50 million civil court case, according to the plaintiff’s lawyer Friday. According to an Instagram post by lawyer Tony Buzbee, the lawsuit that began last month will now be “dismissed with prejudice.” “After protracted and respectful negotiations, I’m pleased to announce that we have reached a mutually agreed upon resolution,” Buzbee wrote. No other details regarding the settlement are available at the moment. The unidentified Jane Doe sued Sharpe back in April, claiming that he had raped her on multiple occasions. The pair had allegedly met at a Los Angeles gym in 2023, where shortly after Sharpe began to relentlessly pursue the woman. The woman stated that while she eventually joined a consensual relationship with the football player, the relationship was “abusive” and “controlling.” The former football tight end strongly denied the allegations. Since then, Sharpe has kept a low profile, stepping away from his role at ESPN, but said in a statement he would return when the NFL preseason begins.

Former WWE and WCW superstar and five-time World Tag Team champion Marcus ‘Buff’ Bagwell underwent a below-knee amputation on his right leg Thursday, according to a Facebook post from close friend Steve Stasiak. According to the post, Bagwell’s decision to amputate follows injuries from a 2020 car accident that “never fully healed.” “He gave it everything he had to avoid this outcome—but that fight led him here. And now begins a whole new kind of battle,” the post said. The surgery marks an end to a five-year recovery battle after Bagwell, 55, suffered a major car accident that badly injured his right knee cap. Since then, the wrestling icon has undergone multiple surgeries and attempted rehabilitation before making the difficult decision to amputate. The wrestling champion, who appeared with World Championship Wrestling from 1991 to 2001, has been vocal of his struggles, stating that he spiraled into alcoholism and drug abuse to cope with recovery. “I was so angry at what happened,“ Bagwell said. “I didn’t think I could get sober but August of 2022 I went to rehab. August 2025, 27th, I will be three years sober.”

A tiny problem became a very big problem at the tail end of a Beyoncé concert in Atlanta, when a cockroach triggered a stampede that left nine people injured on Monday night. The stampede took place at the Vine City MARTA station, right outside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where Beyoncé had just finished the last of four concerts in the southern city. Apparently, a 10-year-old girl screamed and ran when she saw the cockroach, triggering hordes of people around her to surge toward a descending escalator. The escalator malfunctioned under the weight of so many bodies, speeding up and then stopping altogether. The scrum left some 20 people piled on top of each other at the bottom of the escalator. Eight concert-goers were taken to the hospital, with one suffering a broken ankle and another having to undergo surgery for her injuries. Jaylen Black, who was attending the concert on her birthday, told Atlanta News First that people thrown off the escalator “hit each other like bowling pins.” Beyoncé, who has two shows remaining on her “Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour,” has not publicly commented on the scary incident.

Brazil’s Supreme Court has ordered that Jair Bolsonaro wear an ankle monitor to ensure that the former president of Brazil will remain at home and stay away from foreign embassies. The order came ahead of his trial for allegedly attempting to stage a coup and poison his political rival, left-wing president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, after losing the 2022 presidential election. Bolsonaro’s attorney reported that the court has also ordered him to cease communication with his son, Eduardo, who has been lobbying in Washington for President Donald Trump to help his father, according to The New York Times. Trump, Bolsonaro’s longtime ally, provoked Brazilian authorities by threatening a trade war and imposing 50 percent tariffs to end the “witch hunt” against the alt-right politician. Brazilian Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes said that new measures were imposed on Bolsonaro after consultation with Brazil’s attorney general and federal police, the Times reports. The justice says Bolsonaro poses a substantial flight risk and has worked in concert with his son and Trump to coerce the court and the Brazilian federal government. Bolsonaro strongly denies the allegations, calling his ankle monitor a “supreme humiliation.”

Alan Bergman, a songwriter who shared three Oscars, two Grammys, and four Emmys with his wife and co-writer, Marilyn Bergman, died in his Los Angeles home on Thursday. He was 99. The songwriter continued to write songs until the very end, despite battling respiratory issues, a spokesperson shared with People. Throughout their long careers, the musical Bergman duo penned hundreds of songs for prominent television, film, and stage productions, frequently collaborating with the illustrious singer Barbara Streisand. They also wrote songs for music legends Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Their most famous song, ”The Way We Were,” which the couple wrote for the 1973 film starring Streisand and Robert Redford, established their reputations. Bergman knew he wanted to write music since he was 12. He told the Lobero Theatre Foundation that he loved listening to the radio and taking piano lessons as a child. Both Bergman and his wife grew up in the same Brooklyn neighborhood; as if by fate, the two were born in the same hospital, though they didn’t meet until they both worked for L.A. composer Lew Spence. They are survived by their daughter, Julie Bergman, and granddaughter, Emily Sender.

Tom Girardi, 86, has presented to prison to start his seven-year prison sentence for leading a years-long scheme in which he embezzled tens of millions of dollars of settlement money that belonged to his clients. The disbarred lawyer, known for winning a record settlement for the environmental activist Erin Brockovich in her case against Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), turned himself in Thursday to start his lengthy prison sentence. Girardi, the former husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, was given seven years and three months for his fraud conviction on June 3—which happened to be his 86th birthday. Girardi was found guilty last September of embezzling millions of dollars from his clients at his now-defunct law firm, Girardi & Keese. He had been stealing settlement funds from the families of the victims of the deadly 2018 Lion Air flight, where 189 people died. In the aftermath, he was ordered to pay a $35,000 fine and $2.3 million in restitution to his victims. Despite a push from Girardi’s lawyers to land him in a long-term care facility due to his Alzheimer’s and dementia, a judge found the former attorney competent to stand trial and on Friday Page Six reported that he was the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. Other records show that he’s been registered as an inmate already.

Kate Beckinsale has announced that her mother, Judy Loe, died on Tuesday. Loe was 78. In 2024, the Underworld actress, 51, announced that her mother had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. She announced Loe’s death with an Instagram post on Thursday. “She died the night of July 15th in my arms after immeasurable suffering,” Beckinsale wrote. “I am paralysed... the world is so dim without her that it is nearly impossible to bear.” Beckinsale shared that her mother’s death had been her “greatest fear” since discovering her father’s body when she was five. Richard Beckinsale, an actor on the BBC sitcom Porridge, died of a heart attack at 31 in 1979. His daughter has been open about the difficulties of the past two years; since the death of her stepfather, former director Roy Battersby, in 2024, she says she has lost “family, friendships, at some points my own health, and all the money I had due to how disgusting the American healthcare system is.” Loe was a TV actress and was part of the original British cast of Hair. Along with her daughter, Loe is survived by her granddaughter, Lily Sheen, and her stepdaughter, Samantha Beckinsale.

The hit-show The White Lotus may have a new member joining its star-studded cast for the upcoming fourth season. Filmmaker Mark White, who created the ongoing HBO series, was spotted with actress Laura Dern on Thursday in Los Angeles. The two were seen chatting while grabbing smoothies at Sunlife Organic in Brentwood, much to the delight of fans who speculated that she may appear in the next season of The White Lotus. Dern, 58, previously had a voice cameo in the show’s second season as estranged wife, Abby, to Dominic Di Grasso, played by Michael Imperioli. The pair’s public sighting has caused speculation on whether the actress will officially join the show. White has also brought back one of his White Lotus alums each season. Jennifer Coolidge returned in Season 2 as Tanya McQuoid and in Season 3 Natasha Rothwell returned as Belinda Lindsey. White, 55, has previously worked with the award-winning actress on Enlightened, a television series from 2011 lasting two seasons. The White Lotus was initially released in 2021. A fourth season was confirmed to be underway earlier this year, though the official release date is still unknown with White making an appearance on the new season of Survivor. The television series has won several Emmy and Golden Globe awards.

Moments after Stephen Colbert announced the shocking news that CBS is killing off The Late Show altogether after its upcoming 2025-2026 season, his late-night rival (and friend) responded on Instagram with fury at the network. “Love you Stephen,” the host wrote above the video of Colbert sharing the news with his live audience. “F--- you and all your Sheldons CBS.” Kimmel, who is currently on a summer hiatus from his show, which airs in the same time slot as The Late Show on ABC, became close with Colbert and their fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver, when they came together to make the Strike Force Five podcast during last year’s writers’ strike. CBS called the move to end the long-running franchise, which David Letterman launched in 1993, a “purely a financial decision,” but it comes amid speculation that both Colbert and The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart could be casualties of CBS’ parent company Paramount’s pending sale to Skydance Media as a concession of sorts to President Donald Trump.
