Update On Karrion Kross And Scarlett's WWE Contract Status
Kross has become one of the more popular WWE Superstars on the RAW brand. Fans continue to push for him to get more TV time, and it looks to be paying off. Kross' feud with Sami Zayn has picked up in recent weeks. However, his contract status has been up in the air.
Kross and Scarlett's WWE contracts reportedly expire this summer. In June, Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select) reported that the couple had still not been approached about a contract extension or renewal.
Has Karrion Kross re-signed with WWE?
According to a new update from Fightful (via Fightful Select), Kross allegedly told other wrestlers that he and Scarlett still have not re-signed with WWE. It was also noted that their contracts run out in August. Fightful notes that WWE sources have kept quiet about Kross's status. However, 'at least six contacts' in the wrestling industry have all said that Kross and Scarlett both said that they had not been approached about a new contract as of last week.
Despite the contract situation being uncertain, Kross and Scarlett's future does seem optimistic for a few reasons. Kross has new merchandise, and he's currently engaged in a feud with Zayn on WWE TV. This is normally a sign that a deal is or is close to being done. It was noted that there are still creative plans Kross and Scarlett on WWE TV. It's also more likely that their updated contract status will be revealed when 'the time is right.'
Kross is one of the more popular stars in WWE right now, as fans wouldn't let him leave the arena after a recent RAW taping. Kross is a fan-favorite of sorts. Despite that, former WWE Superstar Baron Corbin recently pointed out the 'funky' position that Kross finds himself in.

Trailer for George Clooney and Adam Sandler's Netflix Film JAY KELLY From Director Noah Baumbach — GeekTyrant
Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for Jay Kelly , the latest film from director Noah Baumbach, and it gives us a first look at what looks like a personal and introspective character journey. George Clooney stars in the title role, playing an aging movie star grappling with his legacy, fame, and identity. Adam Sandler plays his longtime manager, Ron, and the two set off across Europe in what starts as a professional obligation and slowly becomes something much more profound. The trailer is packed with sharp dialogue and quiet reflection. 'What do you say to people who say you only play yourself?' one character asks Kelly. His reply: 'You know how difficult it is to be yourself? You try it.' Baumbach, known for his character-driven dramas like Marriage Story and The Meyerowitz Stories , co-wrote the script with Emily Mortimer, who also appears in the film. The supporting cast is stacked with talent including Laura Dern, Riley Keough, Billy Crudup, Greta Gerwig, Patrick Wilson, and Stacy Keach. Jay Kelly is Baumbach's fourth feature for Netflix and will make its world premiere next month in competition at the Venice Film Festival. The film will hit select theaters on November 14 before landing on Netflix December 5. The movie is produced by David Heyman, Amy Pascal, and Baumbach, and this one looks like it could be a major awards contender with a pair of leads we've never seen quite like this before.

Roku Just Launched an Ad-Free Streaming Service for $2.99 a Month
If you're fed up with rising streaming service costs, Roku has some good news for you. Roku founder and CEO Anthony Wood says that the company's just-launched streaming service cost 'less than a cup of coffee.' However, he added, it is not meant to directly compete with Netflix and other streamers, but rather, complement them. Roku's new ad-free service, Howdy, dropped today, and it comes at a time when the cost of commercial-free streaming has skyrocketed. It's almost expected now that streamers will raise their prices annually. For example, Netflix hiked its rates earlier this year and its premium plan, which is ad-free and supports 4K streaming, now costs $24.99 a month. And just last month, Peacock bumped up its prices to the point its ad-free plan now costs $16.99 a month. 'We're meeting a real need for consumers who want to unwind with their favorite movies and shows uninterrupted, and on their terms,' says Wood in a press release. Howdy now provides a more budget-friendly option at just $2.99 a month. The service will offer 10,000 hours of content from partners like Lionsgate, Warner Bros. Discovery, and FilmRise, along with some Roku Original titles. This includes classic movies like The Graduate, Reservoir Dogs, and Dirty Dancing. 'With engagement of over 125 million people a day, Roku is the perfect partner to launch a more accessible complement to the higher-priced SVODs,' says Jim Packer, President of Worldwide Television Distribution at Lionsgate. Howdy will be available initially exclusively on Roku devices, but will roll out to mobile and other platforms soon. The new ad-free offering joins the company's other streaming service, the Roku Channel, which is a free, ad-supported TV platform. These services, which include Fox's Tubi and Paramount's PlutoTV, have grown in popularity in recent years and have created a new revenue stream for media companies. The Roku Channel is the most popular of these services and accounted for 2.5% of all television viewing in the U.S. this past June, according to Nielsen. In June, the company signed a major advertising deal with Amazon Ads aimed at making it easier for brands to reach viewers across both companies' streaming platforms. The partnership gives advertisers access to more than 80 million U.S. households through a combination of Roku and Fire TV devices. The launch of Howdy also comes just months after Roku acquired the live-TV provider FrndlyTV for $185 million. The service provides users access to 50 live channels, including the History Channel, A&E, and the Hallmark Channel for plans ranging $8.99 to $12.99 per month.

The Frick Collection: Enjoy Art In A Historic Gilded Age Setting
Entrance Hall, The Frick Collection, New York © Nicholas Venezia The Frick Collection reopened on Manhattan's Upper East Side this spring after a five-year, $220 million renovation and expansion. Even if the walls were bare and there were no furnishings inside, this house museum and its gardens would be well worth visiting. The Bouchet Room, once a sitting room in the home The Frick Collection, New York ©2025 Located on the corner of Fifth Avenue and East 70th Street opposite Central Park, the museum is housed in a spectacular Gilded Age mansion, once the home of industrialist, financier, and art collector Henry Clay Frick. Frick lived there with his wife, Adelaide Howard Childs Frick, their daughter, and their 27 servants who lived on the third floor. An architectural gem, the house was designed in 1914 by Carrere and Hastings, who also designed the main branch of the New York Public Library. With pilasters, a limestone facade, and classic symmetrical design, the three-story building exemplifies the Beaux-Arts style popular at the turn of the 20th century, grand but not ostentatious. The ambitious and painstaking restoration of the building's interiors and exteriors was led by Annabelle Selldorf, principal of Selldorf Architects. She and her team aimed to respect the building's historical elements while updating its infrastructure to meet modern needs and sensibilities. 'I believe that this careful blending of old and new will make people feel even more welcome as they return to—or discover for the first time—the Frick, its collection, and its beautiful setting,' said Selldorf in the press release announcing the reopening. Visiting The Frick Collection Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675), Mistress and Maid, oil on canvas (ca. 1664-1667) The Frick Collection, New York ©2022 One could spend several hours or days at the museum, depending on available time and personal interest. The permanent collection is impressive, boasting some 1,800 works of fine and decorative art. More than half of the permanent holdings are part of Mr. Frick's vast original collection of Old Masters, family portraits, and other paintings, medals, ceramics, sculptures, clocks and watches, and decorative objects. The rest of the holdings were acquired through purchases and donations from private collectors. While Mr. Frick's invaluable art collection undoubtedly helped elevate his social status, the man had a genuine passion for the arts, and he always planned for the mansion on Fifth Avenue to become a public museum after his death. One biographer quotes Mr. Frick saying: 'I think [art collecting] is a great thing for a man to do. It has given me more real pleasure than anything I have ever engaged in, outside of business.' Noteworthy temporary installations at the museum this season include a special commission of life-like porcelain plants and flowers by sculptor Vladimir Kanevsy, and the debut this spring of a trio of three compelling oils, Vermeer's Love Letters . Because each of the galleries is intimate in size, the scale of the mansion always feels human. Timed entry tickets prevent overcrowding, with even fewer people typically visiting on weekdays, early mornings, and late afternoons. Great care was paid to the seamless flow of patrons from room to room as well as the excellent lighting of the holdings. Well-informed docents or security staff are present in each gallery, but no physical barriers (like stanchions) separate paintings and many decorative objects from viewers. This allows visitors to get close to works of art. For those who want to linger, it's easy to find settees where they can sit, observe and rest. A free Frick Mobile Visitor Guide—made possible through the philanthropy of Bloomberg Connects is accessible by scanning a QR code from smartphones. It offers introductions to each work of art with commentary by curators (free Wi-Fi is available throughout the museum). Rediscovering The Frick View from the 70th Street garden of The Frick Collection © Nicholas Venezia Because The Frick Collection is one of the most inspiring sanctuaries in the city, many art lovers find ways to support the museum through membership and other programs. Those who are museum members or other repeat visitors will be impressed by the renovations, the most significant upgrade to The Frick Collection since it opened to the public in 1935. These upgrades include: Additions to the original building to accommodate new exhibition galleries and offices An expansion of the Frick Art Research Library, a resource for scholars that includes books, periodicals, auction catalogs, and other digital resources. Restoration of the viewing garden on East 70th Street to its original design by British architect Russell Paige (it had to be removed to renovate the building) Improvements to the Garden Court (the second of three green spaces at the Frick), including restoration of the light-filled curvilinear ceiling, refurbishment of the limestone interior and fountain, and replanting of the garden Excavation of a below-ground space for a new 218-seat Auditorium for lectures and performances A purpose-built education center on the ground floor Infrastructure upgrades, including improved accessibility 'With the return of the Frick's masterworks to their revitalized home, we welcome visitors to rediscover the beauty, intimacy, and scholarship that have defined the Frick for nearly a century and that we hope will inspire generations of visitors to come,' stated Axel Ruger, the new Frick's Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Director. For residents of the metro area and tourists, The Frick Collection offers a peaceful sanctuary amid the always bustling, energetic city. Visit, relax, unwind, and allow your mind and imagination to enjoy and explore the beauty of this world-class institution.
