Kardashians react to Anthony Hopkins' comedic SKIMS video channeling Hannibal Lecter
The Oscar winner, 87, sparked a wave of online buzz after posting a humorous Instagram video in which he wore the face wrap and impersonated his iconic Silence of the Lambs character, Dr. Hannibal Lecter.
The $48 SKIMS face wrap, made with sculpting fabric and collagen-infused yarns, is designed to support the jawline.
Despite selling out shortly after release, it received mixed reactions online, with many comparing its appearance to the infamous cannibal character played by Hopkins in the 1991 thriller.
Hopkins joined in on the joke by donning the product and channeling his creepy film persona, saying, 'Hello, Kim. I'm already feeling 10 years younger,' before mimicking Lecter's signature slurping noise. He captioned the post with a playful warning: 'Don't be afraid to come over for dinner.'
The video quickly gained popularity, with fans praising Hopkins for his sense of humor. Comments ranged from 'This could be the best Instagram post ever made' to 'Great actor with a great sense of humor!'
Kim Kardashian, 44, responded to the clip on her Instagram Stories, writing, 'I'M SCREAMING!!!!!' Her sister Khloé Kardashian and their mother, Kris Jenner, also shared the video and reacted similarly, with Khloé echoing Kim's reaction and Kris adding a series of laughing emojis.

The viral moment highlights both the internet's playful response to SKIMS' unconventional designs and Hopkins' willingness to lean into his cinematic legacy for a laugh. Kardashian has yet to comment beyond her enthusiastic repost, but the brand's buzz shows no signs of slowing.

Timothée Chalamet and James Mangold reunite for motocross heist movie High Side
Timothée Chalamet and director James Mangold are revving up for a new project titled High Side, a motocross-themed heist thriller based on an unpublished short story by Jaime Oliveira. Following their critically acclaimed collaboration on A Complete Unknown, which scored eight Oscar nominations, the duo is eyeing another high-octane cinematic partnership. High Side centers on Billy, a former MotoGP racer coping with trauma from a career-ending crash and a troubled family legacy. Living a quiet life caring for his addict father and running the family garage, Billy is pulled back into danger by his estranged brother Cole. After their father's death, Cole convinces Billy to join him in a series of high-speed bank robberies using superbikes. With the FBI already on Cole's tail, the stakes rise as the brothers assemble a crew — including Billy's love interest — to rob rural desert banks. The plot builds to a final heist timed with a major motorcycle parade, drawing the attention of FBI agent Lennox, who shares a murky past with Cole. The film promises intense action sequences, emotional drama, and adrenaline-fueled motorcycle chases. Chernin Entertainment is attached to produce, with Sugar23 shopping the project to studios. The package has already sparked strong interest in both Hollywood and publishing circles. Chalamet is currently wrapping Dune: Part Two and will star in A24's upcoming Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie. With High Side, the actor continues his streak of bold and diverse roles.

Donald Trump drags in Taylor Swift while praising Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle ad
President Donald Trump reignited his public criticism of Taylor Swift in a recent post on Truth Social, while expressing strong support for actress Sydney Sweeney and her controversial American Eagle ad campaign. The remarks, made on Monday (Aug. 4), included a claim that Swift is 'no longer hot' and a broader commentary on political affiliations and cultural appeal. Trump praised Sweeney, describing her American Eagle advertisement as the 'hottest ad out there,' and attributing the campaign's success to her status as a registered Republican. 'Go get 'em, Sydney!' he wrote, referencing reports that Sweeney registered as a Republican in 2024. The ad has stirred controversy due to its messaging, with critics drawing comparisons between Sweeney's statement about having 'great genes' and past fascist propaganda. President Trump speaks on Sydney Sweeney being a registered Republican 'Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican? Now I love her ad. If she is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic' — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) August 4, 2025 Despite the backlash, Trump celebrated the campaign's performance, claiming American Eagle jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' The fashion brand responded to criticism by emphasizing that the campaign is focused solely on the jeans, not political ideology. 'Great jeans look good on everyone,' American Eagle stated on Instagram. In contrast, Trump targeted Swift, labeling her a 'woke singer' and repeating his earlier claims that her popularity has declined since he publicly expressed dislike for her. He reiterated past assertions that she was 'booed out of the Super Bowl,' a claim contradicted by eyewitness accounts, which indicate Swift attended the entire game and was cheered by fans. Trump has long criticized Swift, particularly following her political endorsements of Democratic candidates such as Phil Bredesen in 2018 and Kamala Harris in 2024. In May, Trump questioned whether Swift's popularity had declined since he said he 'hated' her, again suggesting that being 'woke' is detrimental to cultural relevance.

Calvin Harris and Vick Hope welcome their first child
Scottish DJ and music producer Calvin Harris has become a father for the first time. Harris, 41, and his wife, radio and TV presenter Vick Hope, 35, recently welcomed their newborn son, Micah. The couple shared the joyful news on Instagram, with Harris posting a series of heartfelt photos and a touching caption announcing their baby's arrival. '20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!' Harris wrote, expressing admiration for his wife. 'My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah ❤️❤️❤️.' One of the photos shows Harris cradling baby Micah while sitting outdoors, while another captures the couple's first moments with their son during an at-home water birth. Speculation about Hope's pregnancy began earlier this year during a BBC Radio 1 interview with actress Florence Pugh, where she appeared in a cream bodycon dress and was seen gently stroking her stomach. Shortly afterward, Hope confirmed the news subtly via Instagram, sharing moments from her career along with images of her growing baby bump. She captioned the post, 'Lots going on lately 📻📺👋🏾.' Harris and Hope married in September 2023 in a private ceremony held on a sprawling estate in northeast England. They made their first official red carpet appearance as a married couple at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. The couple, who had known each other for years before rekindling their relationship, initially sparked engagement rumors in 2022. However, they have kept most of their relationship private. In a 2022 interview with Hello! Magazine, Hope said, 'I'm keeping my private life private… it's just for us.' Their son Micah marks the beginning of a new chapter for the couple, who have maintained a low-key but loving relationship.
