Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have at least one celeb pal who is ‘very much stanning' them as a couple
Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson attend "The Naked Gun" New York Premiere on July 28, 2025 in New York City. (via CNN Newsource) Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson seem to have eyes just for each other, both on screen and off. While doing press for their new comedy 'The Naked Gun,' the pair have been exhibiting some serious couple goals energy, with prime examples including a giggly joint appearance in a TikTok posted by Canada's eTalk, during which they were asked about their relationship. 'We had a lovely chemistry… working together,' Neeson said, to which Anderson quietly replied, 'Yeah,' while gazing at him. Things seem to have gotten heated on the 'Naked Gun' set, it sounds like. During an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' this week, Neeson shared that he worked with an intimacy coordinator for the first time, as his and Anderson's characters have a threesome in the new film which is a reboot of the 1988 original. Neeson said the experience was 'a little bit strange.' 'Pamela and I knew what to do,' he added, laughing. Neeson also shared that Anderson, who is a cookbook author in addition to actor, made sourdough bread and bran muffins for him. How sweet, literally. The pair also have a famous shipper in Andy Cohen. The Bravo host – who was a good friend of Neeson's late wife, actress Natasha Richardson – said during a recent episode of his SiriusXM show said that he and other friends who were a part of Richardson's circle are 'very much stanning whatever this is' between Neeson and Anderson. 'I was telling him at the premiere party, I go 'Liam, she is an independent woman, just like Tash (Richardson) was, she loves to cook, she has her own thing going on, she has two boys,' Cohen said. 'This just works.' Richardson died in 2009 after falling on a beginner's ski slope at a resort in Quebec, Canada. She was 45. 'The Naked Gun' is now in theaters. By Lisa Respers France, CNN

Epic Eli Returns with Emotionally Charged Single ‘Blindfold'
Independent hip-hop artist and genre-blurring storyteller Epic Eli is back with 'Blindfold,' a deeply personal and reflective new single arriving August 1st on all major streaming platforms. Stripped-back yet impactful, 'Blindfold' trades heavy synths for vulnerability, beginning with raw acoustic guitar chords before gradually building into a moody, modern trap beat — a sonic metaphor for the emotional unraveling that unfolds in the lyrics. 'Blindfold' explores the disillusionment that follows emotional disconnect — the moment you realize someone never truly saw you. What begins with warm, intimate guitar strumming soon gives way to sharp, spacious trap percussion, setting the stage for Epic Eli's introspective bars and emotionally raw delivery. His voice weaves with calm clarity, marrying poetic depth with casual honesty. 'This one is quiet at first — like when you're sitting in your own thoughts, processing everything,' says Eli. 'Then the beat hits, and it's like that moment when the emotions flood in and you finally speak your truth.' The hook, 'You never saw me, you was blindfold,' lands with haunting simplicity. It's a line that speaks volumes — about being overlooked, misunderstood, or emotionally disregarded — while echoing a relatable and universal pain. The second verse, sharp and confident, flips the narrative from heartbreak to self-possession, with lines like 'No textin' you up, I'm the man again' serving as an understated but powerful resolution. 'Blindfold' follows Eli's 2024 EP Divine Timing II, which was spotlighted by Clash Music, Earmilk, and FLEX Music as a 'soulful leap forward' and a 'candid' reflection on growth, relationships, and spiritual timing. With 'Blindfold,' Eli takes a more minimalist production approach — one that allows his lyrics and delivery to shine front and center. Where Divine Timing II painted broad emotional and philosophical landscapes, 'Blindfold' zooms in on one specific turning point — that sobering moment when the illusion of connection breaks and clarity sets in. The result is a track that's deeply personal yet widely relatable, marked by intentional storytelling and polished vulnerability. With over a million streams across platforms, a growing global fanbase, and praise from respected indie music press, Epic Eli continues to establish himself as one of hip-hop's most thoughtful emerging voices. His music blends the poetic and the personal, the alternative and the classic, all while carving out a unique sound that resonates beyond trends. Fans of artists like Isaiah Rashad, Mac Miller, Mick Jenkins, or Saba will find a familiar honesty in Eli's lyrics — but 'Blindfold' offers something that's purely his: acoustic soul wrapped in trap grit, anchored by self-awareness and narrative depth.

4 people killed in a shooting at a Montana bar
ANACONDA, Mont. — The ATF says multiple people have been shot at a Montana business, and authorities are searching for a suspect. Officials warned people to avoid the area of Anaconda. The suspect's home was cleared by a SWAT team and the suspect was still at large, the Granite County Sheriff's office said in a social media post. Authorities have yet to release details about what led to the shooting or the conditions of those who were injured. Sandra Barker, a spokesperson for the FBI's Salt Lake City office, which covers Montana, said the FBI is assisting in the response to the shooting but referred questions about it to local authorities.
