Justin Bieber Settles Financial Dispute With Scooter Braun for $31.5 Million Over Scrapped ‘Justice’ Tour Dates, Commissions

Justin Bieber has reached a financial settlement with former manager Scooter Braun, agreeing to pay a total of $31.5 million to resolve a dispute stemming from the cancellation of his 2022 “Justice” tour, according to multiple media reports.

Bieber, who released a self-produced album “Swag” ahead of the weekend, will pay $26 million to Braun to reimburse an advance from concert promoter AEG Presents, TMZ first reported, citing sources familiar with the financial dispute.

No lawsuit was ever filed. People confirmed the report Saturday. Messages sent to lawyers for the parties were not immediately returned.

Braun’s company, HYBE, covered the repayment to AEG after the tour was scrapped. Bieber had agreed to pay back the amount but reportedly made only a single payment.

In addition, Bieber will pay $5.5 million to settle a portion of $11 million in unpaid commissions owed to Braun, bringing the total to $31.5 million.

Bieber sold his 291-song catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Capital for $200 million in 2022; a May 2025 documentary claimed the sale was prompted by mounting debts following the tour’s cancellation.

Bieber and Braun ended their 15-year professional relationship in 2023. Sources told People that Braun’s team had no involvement in Bieber’s current album and that the relationship had “run its course,” though Braun posted praise for the artist over the weekend, and expressed admiration for “Swag.”

Braun announced his retirement from music management in June 2024. He stepped down as CEO of HYBE America in July and now serves as a consultant.

Jeremy Renner Addresses Ex-Wife’s Allegation That He Tried to Kill Her: ‘Doesn’t Feel Good’

When Jeremy Renner and ex-wife Sonni Pacheco were locked in a contentious custody battle in 2019, she accused the actor of attempting to kill her, among other allegations that included firing a gun in their home while their daughter was in her room. Renner reflected on the allegations in an interview with the Guardian published Saturday, noting, “Being accused of things you’ve not done, right? That doesn’t feel good to anybody.”

To compound the situation, he added, “It certainly doesn’t feel good when you’re a celebrity and it’s known to everybody.”

Renner confirmed he was referencing Pacheco’s allegations and continued, “It’s  all the salaciousness that happens out there. It’s clickbait, and it hurts my feelings and it dehumanizes people.”

In October 2019 Pacheco filed several complaints against the Marvel star. Renner’s legal team referred to the allegations as “one-sided” and said in a statement, “The well-being of his daughter Ava has always been and continues to be the primary focus for Jeremy.”

“This is a matter for the court to decide. It’s important to note the dramatizations made in Sonni’s declaration are a one-sided account made with a specific goal in mind.”

The pair married in 2014, and Pacheco filed for divorce in the same year.

In 2015, Pacheco also threatened to expose “intimate videos” of Renner and insisted the actor “does not interact with [the pair’s daughter] Ava on a regular basis.” Renner accused Pacheco of negligence with their daughter, and cited an incident in which she allegedly left the then-two-year-old “without any supervision for approximately fifteen minutes.”

Check out our picks for the top new movies streaming right now below.

“Licorice Pizza”Cooper Hoffman in “Licorice Pizza” (MGM)

Netflix – July 1

As we barrel towards the release of Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest provocation “One Battle After Another,” why not take a moment to revisit his last movie, 2021’s brilliant “Licorice Pizza.” The movie is an episodic exploration of youth in the San Fernando Valley in the early 1970’s, based in part on the life of Gary Goetzman (played in the movie by Cooper Hoffman), who would later become a collaborator of Jonathan Demme and Tom Hanks. Gary starts a waterbed company, has a chance encounter with influential hairdresser-turned-producer Jon Peters (played by Bradley Cooper) and opens a pinball arcade (once such a thing is again legal in California), all the while lusting after his older friend (snappily played by Alana Haim from the band Haim). “Licorice Pizza” is effervescent and so full of life, braiding actual events with the heightened experiences that only PTA could conjure. We’re very excited for “One Battle After Another,” but it’ll be hard to top “Licorice Pizza,” which is perhaps the director’s very best film – funny, gorgeous and oddly moving.

“No Country for Old Men”“No Country for Old Men” (Miramax Films)

Prime Video – July 1

Recently selected as the sixth best film of the century so far by the New York Times, the Coen Brothers’ “No Country for Old Men” is considered by many to be a masterpiece, but at the time was a hard left turn from the filmmaking duo best known for crafting acerbic comedies like “O Brother Where Art Thou?” and “The Big Lebowski.” The Cormac McCarthy adaptation is a menacing, unforgiving Western about the inevitability — and unpredictable nature — of death. Can you change your fate? Of course not. It’s already set. Whether watching for the first or fifth time, this one never loses its power.

The “Robocop” FranchiseOrion Pictures

Prime Video – July 1

“Robocop” is an odd franchise. The first film, 1987’s stone-cold masterpiece, is a classic because of the idiosyncrasies that director Paul Verhoeven and writers Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner brought to the project. It could have been a straightforward science fiction story about a good cop who is brought back from the dead using cutting-edge technology. But what they crafted was so much more – a satire that openly roasted Reagan-era politics, a action movie that wasn’t afraid of blood and guts and a thorny interrogation of the police as a paramilitary force. The fact that it is all this and a dazzling, fist-pumping entertainment, is what makes that initial film so special. The sequel, made without the original creators, attempted to replicate the humor and thrills, and didn’t quite succeed. The whole thing feels like a faded Xerox copy of the original, although there is some truly eye-popping work by stop motion wizard Phil Tippett and his team, most notably of the title character, a junkie turned super-robot. The third film, whose release was delayed due to legal troubles, dropped the R-rating and aimed for something more family friendly. But it just feels cheap and chintzy by comparison. The 2014 remake is somewhat underrated; as directed by Brazilian filmmaker José Padilha and updated for the Obama era of drone warfare. Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman stars in the title role. He lacks the flintiness of Peter Weller, but it helps that he’s surrounded by a starring supporting cast that includes Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, Michael K. Williams and Jackie Earle Haley. The remake is also saddled with a PG-13 but it still feels vital and, crucially, exciting as hell.

“Pacific Rim”Photo: Legendary

Netflix – July 1

Each movie in Guillermo del Toro’s filmography is a new painting, and 2013’s “Pacific Rim” is arguably his biggest, most colorful canvas yet. This is a massive robots vs. kaiju movie in which the monster-loving, Oscar-winning director poured his heart into knock-down, drag-out fights between enormous beings in exotic locations. The story takes place in a future where a hole at the bottom of the ocean sees kaiju – or giant otherworldly monsters – entering our realm from time to time. In response, the various countries of the world have build giant robots to fight off these monsters. Charlie Hunnam and Riko Kikuchi are two pilots for one such robot and Idris Elba is the military leader running the show. This one’s epic and tons of fun.

“Born on the Fourth of July”Universal Pictures

Netflix – July 1

Patriotism has many colors, and Oliver Stone’s “Born on the Fourth of July” is a searing take on the Vietnam War through the eyes of a wounded veteran. In an Oscar-nominated performance, Tom Cruise plays Ron Kovic, a man who became an anti-war activist after being wounded in Vietnam and returning home to find his country was leaving him behind. It’s angry, it’s challenging and it’s damn good.

“The Old Guard 2”“The Old Guard 2” (Netflix)

Netflix – July 2

If you need a refresher on “The Old Guard” before the sequel hits, why not revisit the original? Based on a comic book series by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández (with Rucka penning the screenplay for the adaptation), it follows Nile Freeman (KiKi Layne), a U.S. Marine who dies but then is miraculously alive again. It turns out that she’s the latest in a long line of immortal warriors, dating back centuries, led by Charlize Theron’s Andromache (or “Andy”) of Scythia. The central plot involves an evil pharmaceutical company, looking to harness the power of the immortals, and Andy dealing with the possibility that – shocker! – she could actually die. But what’s more important, really, is the camaraderie of the immortals and the action sequences, which are stylishly designed and shot by director Gina Prince-Bythewood. In other words: the new one has a lot to live up to.

“Heads of State”“Heads of State” (Amazon MGM Studios)

Prime Video – July 2

Last time Idris Elba and John Cena starred in a movie together, it was James Gunn’s DC superhero team-up movie “The Suicide Squad,” where they spent the whole movie bickering and trying to kill each other. In their latest collaboration, they are back to bickering but not trying to murder each other – not really, anyway. In “Heads of State,” an agreeably goofy high-concept action comedy, Elba and Cena play a stuffy Prime Minister and a former action hero-turned-President of the United States, who find themselves on the run together after a terrorist plot brings down Air Force One. (Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays a spy who has also tangled with the terrorist organization.) You might be rolling your eyes, but “Heads of State” is corking entertainment, full of breathlessly staged action set pieces (director Ilya Naishuller is a pro), nimble humor and plenty of heart, with Cena and Elba’s relationship charged with an easygoing, ego-free chemistry. Proof that some of the best summer blockbusters are on the small screen this year.

“Sinners”“Sinners” (Credit: Warner Bros.)

Max – July 4

Ryan Coogler, the filmmaker behind “Creed” and “Black Panther,” returned this year with an original feature. And what a feature it was. “Sinners” is set in the 1930’s in the Deep South, where a pair of twins (both played by Michael B. Jordan), return to their hometown after running with Al Capone in Chicago. Their big idea is to open a juke joint – a place where people can feel safe and secure and have a good time. They’ve got the money, they’ve got the liquor and they’ve got the entertainment (including from newcomer Miles Caton and legend Delroy Lindo). But on opening night, they run afoul of an immortal vampire (Jack O’Connell), who wants to turn the juke joint into an all-you-can-eat buffet. Much has been made about Warner Bros.’ decision to let Coogler own the rights to the movie after 25 years. But it’s a movie about, among other things, the importance and power of black ownership. (Imagine if they’d said no.) “Sinners” is a big movie full of big ideas, and it’s a testament to Coogler’s power as a filmmaker that it never feels cluttered or sags under the weight of its own ambition. It’s an absolute delight, from start to finish. And don’t click away when the movie ends; there is a mid-credits scene that is as vital as anything in the actual film.

“The Shrouds”“The Shrouds” (Credit: Janus/Sideshow)

Criterion Channel – July 8

Every new David Cronenberg movie is cause for celebration, but “The Shrouds” is among the Canadian filmmaker’s very best. Based on an idea that he had initially developed as a Netflix series, “The Shrouds” stars Vincent Cassel as Karsh, a mysterious entrepreneur who, after the death of his beloved wife, develops a new technology that allows the living to watch their loved ones decompose. (The titular shrouds are a cutting-edge cocoon that facilitates the viewing.) One day, Karsh discovers that the graves have been vandalized, leading him on an investigation of who is responsible – and why. Diane Kruger plays Karsh’s sister-in-law, the spitting image of his dead wife, and Guy Pearce plays a man who helps Karsh with the technology. But can he be trusted? Don’t let the concept of “The Shrouds” scare you away. The story is creepy, for sure, but also quite moving; it was based, in part, on Cronenberg losing his wife in 2017 and the desire that overtook him of wanting to climb inside the casket with her. There are enough autobiographical details and stylistic embroidery to make “The Shrouds” one of the best films of his entire, enviable career. Climb inside, won’t you?

“A Star Is Born”Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga in “A Star Is Born” (Warner Bros.)

Netflix – July 8

Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born” is magnificent. The first 40 minutes of the redo is some of the most enthralling, visceral filmmaking in recent memory as Cooper – serving as co-writer, director and star – traces the initial climb of Lady Gaga’s aspiring singer alongside his aging rocker. The Oscar-winning songs are great, but it’s the emotional tether between Cooper and Gaga onscreen that really sells this, with Cooper turning in a career-best performance. This movie is great.

“Opus”Ayo Edebiri in “Opus.” (A24)

Max – July 11

Ayo Edebiri meets with a reclusive musician who may or may not have started a cult in the A24 film “Opus.” Need we say more? Written and directed by Mark Anthony Green, this one has some twists and turns as it follows Edebiri’s journalist as one of a handful of people invited to a listening party for a new album from a reclusive 1990s pop musician, played by John Malkovich. Juliette Lewis and Murray Bartlett co-star in the film, which debuted at Sundance earlier this year before hitting theaters in March.

“Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story”Universal Pictures

Disney+ – July 11

“Jaws” is, perhaps, the most well-documented film production of all time. Not only was there “The Jaws Log,” an indispensable book chronicling making of Steven Spielberg’s eventual classic, but there have been countless television specials, books and documentaries about exactly what happened during the trouble production and everything that came after. That’s what makes “Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story” such a tantalizing proposition – could this documentary, produced for the new anniversary and directed by Spielberg’s longtime chronicler Laurent Bouzereau, actually uncover something new? Well, yes and no. The documentary is certainly fun and full of details and there are new things to be mined, particularly from Greg Nicotero, who was responsible for restoring the original model of Bruce the shark for the Academy Museum in Los Angeles (he is also, perhaps unsurprisingly, an executive producer of the doc), but there are also some notable omissions – Richard Dreyfus doesn’t appear and the footage of John Williams is from Bouzereau’s recent “Music by John Williams.” Yes, it’s absolutely a thrill to hear from filmmakers like Jordan Peele, Guillermo del Toro and, in particular, Steven Soderbergh, who beyond being one of the world’s most exciting directors is also a foremost “Jaws” scholar, but why repeatedly cut to Emily Blunt talking about the movie? Sure, she’s in Spielberg’s new UFO thriller and has made some scary movies of her own, but really? All in all, you’ve got to take the good with the bad. And any new “Jaws” documentary is worth watching.

“Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires”“Zombies 4” (Disney)

Disney+ – July 11

Here’s the official synopsis for the fourth entry in the long-running Disney Channel Original Movie (that’s DCOM for short) series: “After their summer road trip takes an unexpected detour, Seabrook’s zombie/cheerleader-alien sweethearts Zed and Addison inadvertently become camp counselors to two opposing monster factions — Daywalkers and Vampires. As tensions flare between the rival groups, the Seabrook crew must convince Nova, a Daywalker, and Victor, a Vampire, to try to unite their warring worlds to prevent a greater threat that endangers them all.” Got all that? Also: it’s a musical. Your kids are going to love it!

“Drop”Brandon Sklenar and Meghann Fahy in “Drop” (Universal)

Peacock – July 11

Much has been made about Blumhouse’s disappointing 2025. And it’s a shame because they have put out some of their very best movies – first “The Woman in the Yard,” an exquisitely shot meditation on grief and depression (directed by low key auteur Jaume Collet-Serra) and then “Drop,” a high-tech Hitchcockian thriller from “Happy Death Day” director Christopher Landon. The set-up is simple and gripping (and based on something that actually happened to one of the writers): Violet (Meghann Fahy) is a single mom who is going out on a blind date (with “1923” breakout Brandon Sklenar) in a nice restaurant. But almost as soon as she gets there she starts getting threatening notes about her young son at home, anonymously airdropped to her phone. What is she to make of this? Who is sending her these notes? And will she (and her child) make it out alive? It’s a wonderful concept, brilliantly executed by Landon, with genuine movie star performances from Sklenar and Fahy. This movie should have made hundreds of millions of dollars and had everybody talking. Instead, it was promptly ignored upon its theatrical release. But that’s what makes streaming so exciting – you can catch up on things that you missed and maybe find your new favorite thriller.

“The Amateur”Rami Malek in “The Amateur” (Credit: 20th Century/Lionsgate)

Hulu – July 17

We love when Rami Malek is being a twitchy weirdo that has something to do with computers. And “The Amateur” certainly scratches the same itch that made “Mr. Robot” so compelling. The recent Oscar winner plays a CIA analyst whose wife is killed in a terrorist incident. He urges the agency to find her killer and, when that fails, takes it upon himself to right the wrongs. The movie, based on a 1981 novel by Robert Littell (it had been adapted, that same year, into a Canadian film, with John Savage in the Malek role), occasionally becomes too cumbersome and tripped up by its own knotty plot machinations (there’s an unnecessary bit where Malek is blackmailing the CIA). But more often than not, it’s a clean and effective thriller for adults, something that doesn’t happen so often anymore. (See also: “Drop.”) “The Amateur” is buoyed by a terrific supporting cast that includes Lawrence Fishburne, Rachel Brosnahan, Caitríona Balfe, Michael Stuhlbarg and Holt McCallany and some inventive set pieces, like when Malek’s character kills a guy swimming in a pool that connects two high rises. It’s enough to make you want the further adventures of this twitchy weirdo.

“Death of a Unicorn”Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega in “Death of a Unicorn.” (A24)

Max – July 25

The next A24 movie hitting Max this month is “Death of a Unicorn,” the dark comedy starring Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd about a father-daughter duo who accidentally kill a unicorn with their car. That’s just the beginning of this story, which chronicles the fallout when they discover the unicorn’s blood has magical applications – like curing acne. Will Poulter, Tea Leoni and Richard E. Grant co-star.

“Happy Gilmore 2”“Happy Gilmore 2” (Scott Yamano/Netflix)

Netflix – July 25

He’s back! Adam Sandler reprises his beloved Happy Gilmore role in this Netflix sequel, which brings back all the favorites from the original including Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and, yes, Ben Stiller. The story picks up 30 years after winning his first Tour Championship as Happy heads back to the golf course to pay for his daughter’s ballet school. Kyle Newacheck, who directed Sandler’s 2019 Netflix comedy “Murder Mystery,” steps into the director’s chair this time around with a screenplay by Sandler and Tim Herlihy, who wrote the 1996 original.

“Wicked”Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in “Wicked.” (Credit: Universal Pictures)

Prime Video – July 25

If you care to find “Wicked,” look to Prime Video at the end of the month. The smash-hit musical adaptation starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande finds a new streaming home in July, arriving on Prime Video after first exclusively streaming on Peacock. The film was a behemoth when it hit theaters last November, and now’s the perfect time to revisit (or watch it for the first time) ahead of the release of the grand finale “Wicked: For Good” later this year.

“Memoir of a Snail”IFC

Hulu – July 29

One of last year’s buzziest animated features, the Oscar-nominated stop-motion powerhouse “Memoir of a Snail” is finally streaming – so buckle up. The movie, written and directed by Australian auteur Adam Elliot (“Mary and Max”), follows Grace (voiced by Sarah Snook), a young girl who is born with a cleft lip. She imagines herself as a snail, shrinking from society, and soon becomes fixated with the animal. Her life is incredibly sad – she’s separated from her twin brother (Kodi Smit-McPhee), after her father, an alcoholic Frenchman, dies. Eventually she gets married, to a man who doesn’t deserve her. But she draws strength from an elderly friend (Jacki Weaver), who shows Grace how to draw power from her inner strength. Idiosyncratically animated and full of heart, the movie is at times so sad that you wonder how you can continue watching and just like that – bam! – there’s some revelation or reversal that is the absolute sweetest thing you could imagine. And it fills you up with joy. This is the magic of “Memoir of a Snail,” and why it was so highly regarded – you feel every emotion, big time.

“Miley Cyrus: Something Beautiful”Miley Cyrus performs at the 2024 Grammys (Getty Images)

Disney+ – July 30

Just a few years ago, it seemed that every major pop star (among them: Beyonce, Kacey Musgraves, Halsey and Taylor Swift) had to have some kind of “visual album” component to their rollout. That compulsion was fueled, in part, by the pandemic and us needing something (anything!) to watch. The urge has mostly subsided, but Miley Cyrus is bringing it back. “Something Beautiful” is based on her recent album of the same name. It was produced and largely inspired by Panos Cosmatos, the director behind “Mandy” and “Beyond the Black Rainbow,” and shot by Benoît Debie, the Belgian cinematographer best known for his collaborations with Gaspar Noé. By all accounts the movie, which debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, is a series of music videos strung together without a real narrative framework. But honestly that’s okay. “Something Beautiful” is an artistic triumph for Cyrus – the songs are terrific and should make for some good, slinky visuals. Plus, if you grew up obsessively watching stuff like Michael Jackson’s “Moonwalker,” a loose collection of music videos should do just fine.

“War of the Worlds”Paramount Pictures

Prime Video – July 30

Steven Spielberg’s 2004 adaptation of “War of the Worlds” is not just an alien invasion film – it is very much a film about 9/11. Spielberg framed the story of alien invaders as his commentary on 9/11, and the fallout afterwards. The film is told entirely from the point of view of a single father (played by Tom Cruise) watching his kids, and the audience never sees anything they don’t see. It’s a masterful chronicle of panic and confusion, and the lengths to which people will go to keep themselves and their loved ones safe in the face of impending danger.

Trump Insists He Still Has ‘That Throbbing Feeling’ in Ear One Year After Assassination Attempt | Video

Donald Trump still feels a “throbbing” sensation in his ear from his assassination attempt, he told Fox News’ Will Cain in an appearance on the network Friday. Trump was shot during a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania in July 2024.

Trump was touring damage from the fatal floods in Texas when the subject of the shooting was introduced by Cain, who asked, “Do you think all of this in any way gives you a unique perspective on what’s happening here and what people are experiencing here in Texas?”

“It was a crazy time, very surreal, actually, if you want to know the truth,” Trump answered. “It’s — I have got this massive crowd of people, and all of a sudden you hear and you feel something that’s very unusual. And I got down quickly. And I was — people were screaming, get down, get down. It was a whole — the whole thing was just crazy. And it’s hard to believe a year is up.”

“People that are shooters — I’m not so much of a shooter, but people that were shooters say it’s almost impossible that that was a miss,” Trump also said. “I mean, it was a hit, but it was a miss. Well, I do get that throbbing feeling every once in a while, you understand.”

Trump also noted that the United States is the “hottest country in the world” since he’s been reelected.

This isn’t the first time Trump has claimed to still experience a “throbbing” sensation in his ear. While speaking at the Department of Justice in March, the president noted, “My ear is still throbbing. That was a miracle.”

Last month while speaking about threats made against his life, Trump told reporters, “I get that throbbing feeling every once in a while.”

A months-long investigation by CBS into the life of Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Crooks revealed his online behavior began to change around Thanksgiving 2023. It was then that he began to build homemade bombs and plan such a killing.

CBS spoke to “more than two dozen friends, professors, law enforcement officials and other” and sent “open records requests to half a dozen agencies and a review of thousands of documents” to complete the study.

Those the network spoke to described Crooks as a “star student” and someone who “came off smart.” But others said they didn’t even remember him from their classes, including students who had worked on projects with him.

Crooks was shot and killed by a member of the Secret Service soon after he fired the AR-15 style rifle he’d brought to Trump’s event that day.

‘Superman’ Wasn’t Filmed Where You Think, Here’s Where You’ll Find the Real-World Metropolis

Across decades of “Superman” comics, Metropolis has been located in various places. In James Gunn’s new film, it’s once again in Delaware — but no, that’s not actually Delaware you’re seeing onscreen. In fact, the movie shot nowhere near it.

Like any film, there are multiple filming locations. Much of “Superman” was actually shot in various cities in Georgia, but that was mostly for interiors. The city of Metropolis you’re seeing is in the Midwest — Cleveland, Ohio, to be specific. Meanwhile, the Hall of Justice, where the Justice Gang hangs out, is over in Cincinnati.

You might wonder why Ohio was chosen for this version of “Superman.” Well, it’s partly because that’s where the character’s creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, came up with the idea for Superman. But for director James Gunn, that was just an added bonus.

“We went and shot there because it has all this beautiful art deco architecture that is what we wanted the look of Metropolis to be,” Gunn revealed in the production notes of the film. “It just so happened to fit what we were looking for in a city, and also happened to be the birthplace of Superman.”

But, according to David Corenswet, who plays the Man of Steel, the team also snuck in a nod to his own birthplace, Philadelphia. As part of the skyline of Metropolis, Liberty Place can be seen, which is a skyscraper in Philly.

“Superman” is now in theaters everywhere.

Boy George Says Childhood Bullying Spurred His Career: ‘Embrace Being Different’

Boy George was made aware of the fact that he was “different” by childhood bullies — a reality that in part pushed him down his career path in music. “There comes a time where you either just shrink away or you embrace being different,” he explained in an interview with The Times.

“My original inspiration was Siouxsie Sioux,” the performer explained. “From there it was Theda Bara, Betty Boop, Liz Taylor. When you’re a gay kid other kids make you aware that you’re different. You get picked on and you don’t know why. Then one summer holiday it just clicked: I would go with it.”

From that point on, he continued, he leaned all the way in. “I went to school with drainpipe trousers and my tie ripped in half and everyone said I looked like a tramp, but it was a turning point. There comes a time where you either just shrink away or you embrace being different.”

Of course, fame was waiting on the other side of the door George willfully walked through. “Exhibitionism is a double-edged sword — it’s look at me but don’t look at me,” he said. “You see a photo of Madonna walking out of a restaurant with a face like a smacked arse while secretly wanting all those people to be there.”

Being recognized in public could sometimes be difficult for him to experience. “It doesn’t bother me any more, but in the old days I would get incredibly anxious about being recognized, people staring at me, taking my photograph without asking and for many years I made being who I am into a nightmare,” George continued. “Why? Because someone doesn’t think you’re pretty enough? Once you learn to get over yourself it’s a revelation.”

The singer also dove into the controversy surrounding former Culture Club drummer Jon Moss, who initially joined the reunited band in 2018 before he was dismissed.

“I say in the song, ‘How come you don’t fight for your rock’n’roll?’ Jon wants to fight for his royalties, but not the thing that gave him those royalties,” George said. Moss, he continued, is no longer in the band, “Because Jon only wants to do it on his own terms. I’m a Gemini. I trust everyone and think everyone understands me. When I started the band I split everything four ways, but I don’t believe I was treated with the respect I gave to everyone else, especially Jon.”

George added that he’s attempted to repair the relationship to no avail. “I have, but then Jon’s controlling instincts came back. I’m 64. I don’t want to be controlled. I want to be out of control.”

The 7 Best Psychological Thrillers Streaming on HBO Max Right Now

‘s film library is filled with worthwhile, great psychological thrillers. From well-known, iconic classics to underseen, forgotten films, the streamer has movies you either may not have ever heard of before or ones you have been meaning to check out for years. Case in point: Its psychological thriller collection includes the most underrated film that “Andor” creator Tony Gilroy has ever made, as well as one of the most beloved and oft-quoted movies of the 1990s.

Here are the best psychological thrillers you can stream on HBO Max in July.

“Duplicity” (Universal Pictures)“Duplicity” (2009)

“Duplicity,” writer-director Tony Gilroy‘s underrated follow-up to his acclaimed “Michael Clayton,” is an unlikely blend of paranoid corporate politics and romance. It follows two paid corporate spies (Julia Roberts and Clive Owen) whose attraction to each other complicates their respective assignments and compels them to concoct a daring scheme designed to trick their bosses.

Breezy and bubbly, “Duplicity” is more comedic and lighthearted than the films and TV shows (i.e., “Michael Clayton,” “Andor”) Gilroy is best known for. But the film’s lighter tone actually pairs surprisingly well with Gilroy’s usual, razor-sharp standards. The resulting film is a delightful romantic comedy about the terrifying level of vulnerability and trust that true romance requires. Like falling in love, “Duplicity” keeps you on your toes from beginning to end.

“Get Out” (Universal Pictures)“Get Out” (2017)

The film that announced Jordan Peele as a bona fide horror master and completely altered the trajectory of the former “Key & Peele” star‘s career, “Get Out” still ranks high as one of the best and most original thrillers of the last 10 years. A social thriller in the same vein as “The Stepford Wives,” the Oscar-winning film follows a young black man (Daniel Kaluuya) whose trip to meet his white girlfriend’s (Allison Williams) family takes an unexpected turn when he realizes he has walked right into a terrifying plot.

Brimming with paranoia and ingeniously conceived images, “Get Out” is a conspiracy thriller that slowly tightens its grip on you until it becomes straight-up suffocating. It is a relentlessly thrilling bit of genre entertainment that is packed with sharply realized ideas — particularly about systemic racism and cultural appropriation. 8 years after its theatrical release, it still cuts like a knife.

“Fight Club” (20th Century Fox)“Fight Club” (1999)

It may not seem as transgressive and boundary-pushing now as it did in 1999, but “Fight Club” is still a masterful, stylistically invigorating psychological thriller. Based on Chuck Palahniuk’s 1996 novel of the same name, the David Fincher-directed classic follows a dissatisfied, depressed man (Edward Norton) who is wrested out of his oppressively mundane existence in an increasingly consumeristic America when he is talked into forming an underground fight club with an eccentric soap salesman (Brad Pitt).

One of the most explicit takedowns of contemporary American culture that Hollywood has ever produced, “Fight Club” is a deranged thriller that disorients you at every turn. To watch it is to feel yourself pulled into the same identity crisis and mental spiral as its increasingly desperate, unhinged protagonist.

“MaXXXine” (A24)“MaXXXine” (2024)

“MaXXXine,” director Ti West’s divisive sequel to 2022’s “X” and “Pearl,” is a twisted genre mash-up about, among other things, Hollywood’s ruthless business practices, the hypocrisy of the Christian Right and the difficulty of building a fulfilling life for yourself as an adult, especially when you were denied a strong foundation as a child. At the center of it all is Maxine Minx (Mia Goth), a porn star trying to land a life-changing role in a mainstream Hollywood film in 1980s Los Angeles.

Her world is upended when the events of “X” come back to haunt her and she finds the people in her life hunted by a mysterious serial killer. Overflowing with Hollywood references, “MaXXXine” may not be quite as great as “X” or “Pearl,” but it is still a captivating, visually striking thriller.

“The Long Good Friday” (HandMade Films)“The Long Good Friday” (1980)

In “The Long Good Friday,” what may seem like a simple crime thriller on paper is given blistering psychological depth by director John Mackenzie and star Bob Hoskins. The latter leads the film as a tough, brutish London gangster who has been in control of the city for so long that he does not believe anyone could — or would — ever hurt him. That false sense of security is violently ripped away when his life-changing arrangement with an American businessman is threatened by a series of attacks against him and his criminal business outfit.

“The Long Good Friday” follows Hoskins’ bewildered, increasingly indignant Harold Shand as he tries to uncover his attackers’ identities and regain the sense of control he worked so hard to acquire. It is an explosive, nerve-jangling journey, one that is elevated above its pulpy simplicity by Hoskins’ teeth-gritted, furious star turn and by Helen Mirren’s cool, quietly terrified supporting performance opposite him.

“Blood Simple” (Circle Films)“Blood Simple” (1984)

“Blood Simple” is the film that put writer-director duo Joel and Ethan Coen on the map. Their feature directorial debut is a seedy, sweaty psychological crime thriller about a man (Dan Hedaya) who discovers his wife (Frances McDormand, in her feature film debut) is having an affair with one of his employees (John Getz) and hires a merciless private investigator (M. Emmet Walsh) to kill them both. Drenched in paranoia and narratively concerned with matters of infidelity, betrayal and personal accountability, “Blood Simple” is a pitch-black thriller that packs a hell of a punch.

The film’s drawn-out, Hitchcockian third-act climax is iconic for a reason. It not only involves an astonishing set piece but one born organically out of its characters’ personal insecurities and suspicions, which makes it the perfect finale for a thriller as psychologically piercing and unnervingly quiet as “Blood Simple.”

“Juror #2” (Warner Bros. Pictures)“Juror #2” (2024)

“Juror #2” is simultaneously a tense psychological legal thriller and a thought-provoking moral drama. Directed by Clint Eastwood, it centers on a recovering alcoholic (Nicholas Hoult) who is tasked with serving as a jury member on a high-profile murder case, despite his wife nearing the due date of her high-risk pregnancy. Once seated, he begins to suspect that he may have actually been the one responsible for the crime on trial.

“Juror #2,” consequently, follows Hoult’s Justin as he finds himself torn between his responsibilities to the law and those he has to his growing family. Shot with patient, unobtrusive elegance by Eastwood, “Juror #2” refuses to give its protagonist or its viewers any easy answers, all while repeatedly tightening and loosening its grip on both. It is a masterful, understated thriller that lingers in your head and heart long after you watch it.

‘Better Go Mad in the Wild’ Takes Top Prize at Karlovy Vary Film Festival

Miro Remo’s stunning portrait of identical twins, “Better Go Mad in the Wild,” took top honors at this year’s Karlovy Vary Film Festival, meaning the festival’s Crystal Globe and a cash prize of $25K will be staying at home in the Czech Republic. 

A hybrid documentary with plenty of visual power and also a wise-talking bovine, the film immerses us in the daily lives of Ondřej and František Klišík as they live with only each other (as well as their animals) for company in their remote home. Surrounded by the beautiful Šumava forests, their lives are defined by reflections (often literal in that there is a mirror that becomes a haunting yet breathtaking way through which to view their world) about life, death, and isolation. At the same time as it is visually stunning, with Remo and his co-cinematographer Dušan Husár working wonders within the twins’ humble world, it is also a deeply funny film where the two constantly bicker. 

The festival also gave a Jury Prize to the Iranian drama “Bidad,” which sees writer, director, producer, and co-editor Soheil Beiraghi telling the story of a young woman named Seti (Sarvin Zabetian) who is trying to find her voice as a singer while government forces seek to silence her. The film was one that the festival announced late in order to protect the film team as they traveled and Beiraghi shared how he faced repression of his own while in production. 

The best director award went to Vytautas Katkus for the film “The Visitor” and Nathan Ambrosioni for the film “Out of Love,” while the best actress award went to Pia Tjelta for “Don’t Call Me Mama” and the best actor award went to Àlex Brendemühl for the role in the film “When a River Becomes the Sea.” Kateřina Falbrová also received a special jury mention for the role in the Czech drama “Broken Voices” and the Právo Audience Award went to “We’ve Got to Frame It! (a conversation with Jiří Bartoška in July 2021),” which opened the festival. 

Additional prizes were handed out in the Proxima Competition, in which the top prize went to Bangladeshi director Balur Nogorite’s “Sand City.”

Earlier, KIVFF announced winners in Eastern Promises, its industry section and film market.

Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles Says JoJo Siwa Dating ‘Big Brother’ Co-Star Proves LGBTQ+ Is ‘Fading’: ‘No Longer a Lesbian!’ | Video

Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit kicked off on Friday, and while the roster of buzzy speakers included conservative media heavyweights like Tucker Carlson and Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, it was Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles who walked away with one of the more bizarre viral moments from the Tampa, Florida conference.

In an elongated riff on the merits of traditional family values — merits that include the dissembling of LGBTQ+ rights, particularly for the transgender community — the “Michael Knowles Show” host and Fox News regular argued that LGBTQ+ people are, in fact, “fading.” Look no further than 22-year-old singer, dancer and actress JoJo Siwa, her said.

“Speaking of the LGBT, it is not just the T that is fading from the public square,” Knowles said in the clip circulating online Friday. “After decades of nonstop lavender propaganda, Pride parades are getting canceled for lack of attendance. Lack of interest!”

That first point was met with cheers of support from the audience, but the crowd really went wild for his next bit:

“JoJo Siwa is no longer a lesbian!” he exclaimed, visibly heartened by the enthusiastic applause. “Nature is healing, that’s great.”

Knowles then pivoted to the sanctity of marriage and the importance of uplifting the so-called “trad wife” mentality.

“Divorce rates are about the lowest they’ve been in 40 years. Young women are increasingly rejecting the corporate rat race, the widget factory — and to the horror of the feminists, they are aspiring to be wives,” Knowles continued. “It’s kind of funny … This radical change in ideology has actually caused us to come up with a new term: Do you know the term I’m talking about? ‘Trad wife.’ Do we have — look at all the aspiring trad wives, this is great!”

Watch the moment from Day 1 of Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit below:

Knowles: JoJo Siwa is no longer a lesbian

Elsewhere in his speech, Knowles said that trying to “redefine marriage” as anything other than being between a man and woman has left the country “miserable.”

“We tried to redefine marriage, the fundamental political institution, the most basic human relationship. We tried to blow it up and turn it into something else. We even had the temerity to try and erase God,” he said. “None of it has worked out very well. The reason it hasn’t worked is not for lack of trying. The reason it hasn’t worked is that we followed all of those ideas to their logical conclusions, and the conclusions made us miserable.”

As far as his argument that Siwa is no longer a “lesbian,” that’s somewhat true — she no longer identifies as such. The former “Dance Moms” star and pop singer previously came out as gay four years ago. But Siwa backtracked a bit in April and explained that she no longer identifies as a lesbian and prefers the label “queer,” saying that she felt pressure to define her sexuality at a young age. In June, she went public with her current partner, former “Love Island” contestant Chris Hughes, a man she met while appearing on “Celebrity Big Brother.”

Siwa’s sexuality was previously a hot topic on her season of “Celebrity Big Brother” earlier this year after her co-star Mickey Rourke was booted from the reality series in April for using derogatory, homophobic language toward the young entertainer.

In the incendiary moment, Rourke asked Siwa if she dates men or women — after she answered that she’s gay, Rourke said, “If I stay longer than four days, you won’t be gay anymore.”

“I can guarantee I will still be gay and I will still be in a very happy relationship,” Siwa answered. Rourke continued and told Siwa, “I’ll tie you up” and eventually used a homophobic slur. Rourke also said he was “going to vote the lesbian out real quick” before yelling, “I need a f–k” and pointing at Siwa.

Rourke later apologized in the show’s confessional room. “I apologize. I don’t have dishonorable intentions – I’m just talking smack,” he said. “I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean it in any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.”

DC Fans Credit James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ Success to Dwayne Johnson Being ‘So Bad’ in ‘Black Adam’: ‘Thank You’

DC fans have hilariously thanked former “Black Adam” actor Dwayne Johnson for James Gunn’s “Superman” success, which opened nationally in theaters Friday and raked in the year’s best box office preview total with $22.5 million.

As TheWrap previously reported, in 2022 Johnson and Seven Bucks co-founder Dany Garcia met with Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav on not only inserting Superman back into “Black Adam,” but according to four insiders with knowledge of the meeting, positioning Seven Bucks to run DC and replace then-chief Walter Hamada. 

Garcia wasn’t hired to run the unit, and Johnson and Seven Bucks were evicted from DC shortly after “Black Adam” tanked and Zaslav hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to run the division. 

Now that “Superman” appears to be having liftoff at the box office — and boasts a positive 82% fresh rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes — DC diehards had a field day on social media trolling Johnson and thanking him for pivoting the Warner Bros. plan away from Black Adam and Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel return and into the arms of Gunn and “Superman” star David Corenswet.

“Just saw Superman … First and foremost, I want to say: Thank you Dwayne Johnson,” one fan wrote on X in a viral post, seen at the time of publishing 3.4 million times.

“Dwayne Johnson is the best thing to happen to DC,” another wrote. “He was so bad we finally got the Superman movie we deserved.”

“When you think about it, we should all thank Dwayne Johnson. Because if it weren’t for him, we’d be stuck with his DCEU and wouldn’t have James Gunn, the DCU and David Corenswet as #Superman,” wrote another. “So thank you Rock. The hierarchy of the DC Universe definitely changed … for the better.”

“Superman was fire,” another fan gushed. “I feel like I owe Dwayne Johnson a thank you letter for f–king over the DC Universe. We wouldn’t have gotten this peak Superman movie.”

“I thank Dwayne Johnson for putting the final nail in the coffin of trainwreck DCEU with the Black Adam movie he’s been wanting for years and for paving the way for us to see this masterpiece,” another wrote of “Superman.”

Warner Bros./DC Studios’ “Superman” is off and flying at the box office with $22.5 million from preview screenings, the most for any film this year.

“Superman” has enjoyed heavy anticipation from fans of the Man of Steel since it was first announced more than two years ago, and Warner Bros. has looked to capitalize on the hype with special early fan screenings available exclusively to Amazon Prime subscribers.

Here are more reactions to “Superman” and Johnson’s franchise that could’ve been:
