Apple and A24 unveiled the official trailer for 'Highest 2 Lowest', their Kurosawa-inspired crime thriller, which reunites director Spike Lee and actor Denzel Washington for the first time since 'Inside Man' in 2006.

'Go get 'em, Sydney': Trump hails registered Republican Sweeney's jeans ad, blasts Taylor Swift
US President Donald Trump has thrown his full support behind actress Sydney Sweeney and her controversial American Eagle jeans advertisement, calling it the 'HOTTEST' ad currently on the market and praising her for being a registered Republican. 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there,' Trump posted on Truth Social. 'It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!' Sweeney, known for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, has become the centre of political and cultural debate after her denim campaign stirred controversy over perceived racial implications and the use of wordplay involving 'genes' and 'jeans.' Public records confirm that she registered with the Republican Party in Florida in June 2024, which Trump cited as a reason for endorsing her. Show more Show less

Loni Anderson, 'WKRP in Cincinnati' star and TV icon, dies at 79
Loni Anderson, best known for portraying the glamorous and sharp-witted Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati, passed away on Sunday at the age of 79. According to her publicist Cheryl J. Kagan, Anderson died at a Los Angeles hospital following a battle with a 'prolonged' illness. Loni Anderson's family confirmed the news in a statement to the Associated Press, 'We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our dear wife, mother and grandmother.' Anderson's breakout role came in the hit CBS sitcom 'WKRP in Cincinnati', which aired from 1978 to 1982. The show followed a struggling Ohio radio station attempting to reinvent itself by swapping out easy-listening tunes for contemporary rock and roll. As the poised and confident receptionist Jennifer Marlowe, Anderson quickly became a standout. Her character's charm and competence provided a steadying presence amid the chaos of her bumbling colleagues, especially the often-flustered Mr. Carlson. The role earned Anderson two Emmy nominations and three Golden Globe nods, cementing her as a household name. She starred alongside Gary Sandy, Gordon Jump, Howard Hesseman, Richard Sanders, Frank Bonner, Tim Reid and Jan Smithers. Despite her success, Anderson found it challenging to break free from the 'buxom blonde' stereotype. She appeared in the 1983 film 'Stroker Ace' with then-partner Burt Reynolds. Their relationship, lasting until a widely publicised 1994 divorce, was frequently scrutinised by tabloids. Anderson's post-WKRP career included numerous TV movies such as 'Country Gold', 'The Lonely Guy', 'A Letter to Three Wives', and 'Blown Away'. She is survived by her husband of 17 years, Bob Flick, daughter Deidra, son-in-law Charlie Hoffan, and son Quinton Anderson Reynolds.
