Rather than frequently portraying leading roles or love interests, Jackie, 50, typically appears in smaller parts. Notable examples include playing a dentist in 50 First Dates, an angel in Little Nicky, and making a cameo in Just Go With It. In Grown Ups, she portrayed Richie Minervini's wife. Sandler has also cast their daughters, Sadie and Sunny, in several of his projects, reflecting his preference for involving family in his creative work.

Fans on social media have expressed surprise and admiration upon learning about Jackie's recurring roles. One user called it 'legend behaviour,' while another commented, 'Only a good man wants his wife to succeed.' Some have compared her appearances to Easter eggs for viewers to spot.
Sandler, 58, has previously spoken about working with Jackie, whom he married in 2003. While promoting Murder Mystery in 2019, he addressed how his wife reacts to his on-screen kisses. Speaking to the Associated Press, he shared: 'The only awkward part is hearing my wife on the side going, 'Harder! Harder! Kiss her harder! Deeper!''
He added that Jackie and their daughters enjoy watching his films and support his co-stars. 'They love Aniston, and they want her to have good things and they say, 'Give her something nice,'' Sandler said.

D-Day veteran and TikTok star Papa Jake Larson dies at 102
Jake 'Papa Jake' Larson, a World War II veteran and beloved TikTok personality who brought stories of wartime courage to a new generation, died on July 17 at the age of 102, according to his family. Larson, who gained over 1.2 million followers on TikTok through his 'Story Time with Papa Jake' account, passed away peacefully, his granddaughter McKaela Larson announced on social media. 'As Papa would say, love you all the mostest,' she wrote. Born on December 20, 1922, in Owatonna, Minnesota, Larson enlisted in the National Guard at age 15 by lying about his age. He served in Northern Ireland before becoming an operations sergeant responsible for assembling planning materials for the D-Day invasion. On June 6, 1944, he landed on Omaha Beach under heavy machine-gun fire and later fought in the Battle of the Bulge. His wartime service earned him the Bronze Star and the French Legion of Honor. Decades after the war, Larson found a new way to connect with others—this time through social media. His TikTok posts blended humorous anecdotes with solemn reflections on the horrors of war and the sacrifices of his fellow soldiers. 'We are their family. We have the responsibility to honor these guys who gave us a chance to be alive,' he told the Associated Press at the 81st anniversary of D-Day in June. He frequently returned to Normandy, where he was greeted with open arms by locals and visitors alike. After his passing, tributes poured in from across the U.S. and France. The Overlord Museum called him 'an exceptional witness and bearer of memory,' vowing that his stories will live on.

Beyond the Spider-Verse moves to June 25, 2027 amid release strategy shift
Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has officially been delayed, but fans won't have to wait much longer. Sony Pictures has moved the highly anticipated animated film's release date from June 4 to June 25, 2027 — a strategic decision designed to maximize the film's summer box office performance. According to Variety, the three-week delay was made to ensure the movie opens when '100% of schools in the U.S. will be on summer break,' giving younger audiences full access to the film's theatrical debut. The timing aims to capitalize on the popularity of Miles Morales and the Spider-Verse franchise among school-aged fans. Originally announced for a March 2024 release, Beyond the Spider-Verse has endured multiple delays. Production was halted due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in 2023. By the end of 2024, the studio scrapped much of the existing material, leading to a near-complete restart. It wasn't until CinemaCon 2025 that the current release date was confirmed. The trilogy began with the groundbreaking Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in 2018, which grossed nearly $400 million globally and introduced Miles Morales to the big screen. Its 2023 sequel, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, received critical acclaim and cemented the franchise's status as one of the most beloved animated series of the decade. Now, with Beyond the Spider-Verse set to conclude the trilogy, fans can expect a spectacular sendoff — just a little later than planned.

Chris Brown pleads not guilty to new London nightclub assault charges involving bottle attack in 2023
Grammy-winning R&B artist Chris Brown pleaded not guilty Friday to two additional charges related to an alleged assault on a music producer at a London nightclub in 2023, according to the Associated Press. The 36-year-old singer denied charges of assault causing actual bodily harm and possession of an offensive weapon — a bottle — during a brief appearance at Southwark Crown Court. The incident took place at Tape nightclub in the upscale Mayfair area in February 2023 and was reportedly caught on surveillance footage. Brown had previously pleaded not guilty to a more serious charge of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm during a court hearing last month. Wearing a light brown suit, Brown entered the courtroom as around 20 supporters watched from the public gallery. Several gasped when the singer walked in. He is best known for hits like 'Go Crazy,' 'Run It,' and 'Kiss Kiss.' Brown's co-defendant, fellow musician Omololu Akinlolu, 39, also pleaded not guilty to one count of actual bodily harm during the same hearing. In May, Brown was released on bail set at £5 million (approximately $6.75 million), which allowed him to proceed with his 'Breezy Bowl XX' tour. After completing dates across Europe, he is scheduled to perform in Miami later this month before continuing his North American leg, including a two-night stop in Toronto. Brown rose to stardom in 2005 and has won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Album — first in 2011 for F.A.M.E. and most recently for 11:11 (Deluxe) earlier this year. He is expected to return to court as the legal proceedings continue.
