Everything We Know About Billie Eilish's New 3D Project With James Cameron
Here's everything we know about the experimental concert film so far.
The film is being recorded during Eilish's Manchester concerts from her Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour, which she launched for her third studio album. On July 19, she told the excited audience, 'So, you may have noticed there's more cameras than usual up here. Basically, I can't say much about it, but what I can say is I'm working on something very, very special with somebody named James Cameron, and it's going to be in 3D.'
Eilish continued, 'So, take that as you will, and these four shows her in Manchester, you and me, are part of a thing that I'm making with James.'
Eilish has three more shows planned in Manchester following the announcement, on July 20, 22, and 23. Her next shows are set for Dublin on July 26 and 27, but it sounds like Cameron may not be recording them. If that's it for filming, the release likely depends on post-production.
Eilish has not shared anymore information about how she and the Titanic director connected over this project. In 2023, Eilish shared a bit about her collaboration process when talking to IndieWire, specifically about her work with brother Finneas O'Connell.
'Every time we do anything in another world, it's just very inspiring in so many ways, like, 'Damn, what could we do? What could we make happen?' she said. 'It feels like training in a way. It feels like we're working on a muscle that we really want to be bulky.'
The Hit Me Hard and Soft tour started in October 2024 and concludes in November 2025. The European leg ends this month and then Eilish will be heading to Japan in August. She returns to the United States in October, finishing up in California.

‘Avatar: Fire & Ash' Trailer Leaks Online: James Cameron Returns With Fiery Stunner
The action-packed first trailer for James Cameron's next Avatar fantasy epic has leaked online — and the footage looks spectacular. Disney is rolling out the trailer for Avatar: Fire & Ash 'exclusively' in theaters in front of Fantastic Four: First Steps. And just like with Christopher Nolan's 'only in theaters' trailer for The Odyssey early this month, grainy unauthorized copies have begun to circulate. But give some credit to Disney here — the Fire & Ash trailer is, at least, a bit tougher to find than the trailer Nolan's Universal film was, with copies being taken down as fast as they pop up. More from The Hollywood Reporter Billie Eilish Reveals 3D Collaboration With James Cameron Is in the Works James Cameron to Write Movie Based on Joe Abercrombie Novel 'The Devils' After Finishing 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' Les Dilley, 'Star Wars,' 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' Art Director, Dies at 84 Needless to say, fan reaction has been effusive. Fan site The Sietch of Sci-Fi said the trailer 'looks incredible.' Another raved that the trailer was 'some of the most beautiful footage I've seen all year [and I was] struck by the real sense of doom and rage — fist fights inside of cosmic volcanoes, heroes terrified, huge aerial battles.' While another entertainment writer wrote, '[The trailer] started out as 'meh, more of the same' and ended with 'yup, another billion to James Cameron.'' And a film critic wrote: 'The visuals are (somehow) on another level. There is no doubt in my mind that this WILL be the biggest movie of 2025, and 'epic' doesn't feel like it does this trailer justice.' The trailer introduces two new tribes, the Wind Traders and the fire-hurling Ash People clan. The footage shows (trailer spoilers here — if that's a thing) plenty of intense arial fighting between Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his Na'vi family, the Ash People clan and, of course, Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang, now sporting dramatic white, black and red warpaint, suggesting he might have made an alliance with the Ash People). At one point, a captive Kiri (Sigourney Weaver) is warned by a new villain, Varang (Oona Chaplin), 'Your goddess has no dominion here.' Sully — who warns, 'we cannot live like this' — is taken captive and paraded by the occupation forces. And Spider (Jack Champion) seems like he's in jeopardy quite a bit. The first Avatar, released in 2009, became the highest-grossing film of all time, raking in $2.9 billion globally. The first sequel, 2022's The Way of Water, charted as the third-highest-grossing movie of all time (with $2.3 billion), beating expectations and silencing doubters that the Oscar winner could pull off another Avatar blockbuster. At this point, few doubt Cameron's ability to generate massive box office returns with the Avatar franchise and confidence is high that Fire & Ash will deliver when its released as a major holiday tentpole on Dec. 19. While a run time hasn't yet been announced, Cameron has teased that Fire and Ash 'will be a bit longer' than The Way of Water. The last film was three hours and 12 minutes. 'In a nutshell, we had too many great ideas packed into act one of [Way of Water],' Cameron recently said. 'The [film] was moving like a bullet train, and we weren't drilling down enough on character. So I said, 'Guys, we've got to split it.' [Fire & Ash] will actually be a little bit longer than [Way of Water].' Cameron plans five Avatar films and has said he intends to direct them all, as well. Much of the footage, Cameron has said, has already been shot. Avatar 4 is set for Dec. 21, 2029, and Avatar 5 will arrive Dec. 19, 2031. Cameron also hopes to adapt the Charles Pellegrino books Ghosts of Hiroshima and Last Train From Hiroshima as soon as his Avatar schedule permits. The film would focus on the true story of a Japanese man during World War II who survived the atomic blast at Hiroshima as well as the explosion in Nagasaki. If it comes to fruition, it would mark Cameron's first non-Avatar film since 1997's Titanic. Fire & Ash cast members include Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Britain Dalton, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Stephen Lang, Giovanni Ribisi, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Matt Gerald, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Bailey Bass, Jemaine Clement and David Thewlis. The official description of Fire and Ash: 'Jake and Neytiri's family grapples with grief after Neteyam's death, encountering a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe, the Ash People, who are led by the fiery Varang, as the conflict on Pandora escalates and a new moral focus emerges.' Disney had no comment on the leak.

Jennifer Lopez Exposes Bedroom Secrets On Stage And Ben Affleck Isn't Amused
Jennifer Lopez has lit a firestorm of controversy during her European tour, unveiling sexually charged performances and brutal breakup anthems that seemingly target ex-husband Ben Affleck. From stage moans to unapologetic lyrics, the singer bared it all, literally and emotionally. However, while Lopez sizzles under the spotlight, Affleck is reportedly not pleased with her "childish" theatrics. Jennifer Lopez's Bold Comeback Sends A Clear Message Lopez has never shied away from pouring her heart into her music. But her latest tracks, which debuted during her current European tour, seem to pack more heat and venom than ever, especially toward ex-husband Ben Affleck. The couple's split in August 2024, after a second attempt to rekindle their romance, appears to have fueled two explosive songs: "Up All Night" and "Wreckage of You." In "Up All Night," Lopez declares, "I'm up all night, dancing on somebody, living my best life / I bet you wish that you were by my side / I got tired of you breaking me down / Look at me now." If that wasn't enough, "Wreckage of You" dives even deeper, "Thank you for the scars you left on my heart / For showing me that stars shine brighter in the dark / I won't fall apart because of who you are / And all your broken parts. Because of you, I am stronger, wiser / Better than I've ever been." Both tracks are seen as lyrical attacks at Affleck, who has long struggled with alcoholism, a detail fans suspect is referenced in the line about "broken parts." Ben Affleck Shrugs Off Lopez's Explosive Lyrics While Jennifer Lopez's musical daggers may have fans buzzing, Affleck is reportedly unfazed. A source close to the 52-year-old actor told the Daily Mail, "If this song or any others bash him, what can he do? It's childish and not something he wants to entertain." The insider emphasized Affleck's decision to take the high road, adding, "It is something he can't control, so he isn't going to let it hurt him and he's definitely not going to give it life by reacting." According to the same source, Affleck saw this coming from miles away. They shared, "He's known her long enough and been given a nod on plenty of her music before so he is more than aware that this was coming." As someone fiercely private, Affleck is choosing silence over spectacle. Jennifer Lopez Doubles Down With Risqué Onstage Acts Beyond the lyrics, Lopez has taken her raw expression to new heights and deeper levels on stage. During her ongoing European tour, her performances have gone from passionate to downright provocative. At Tenerife's Cook Music Fest, she took fans' breath away with a series of raunchy moves. Dressed in a barely-there silver bodysuit, she dropped to all fours before a shirtless dancer, straddled another mid-routine, and provocatively touched two others. Her most jaw-dropping moment came at Italy's Lucca Summer Festival, where Lopez let the crowd in on her bedroom preferences. Before performing her song Moments, she confessed, "I have to be honest with you, sometimes I get in different moods at night. I don't know about you, but I do, and sometimes I like it hard." Megyn Kelly Slams Lopez Jennifer Lopez continued, "Other days, I am feeling a little romantic. You put on candles and soft music. On those days, I like it real slow." Then she added with a smirk, "But there's other days... maybe because it's a new kind of time for me, maybe because it's summertime and it's hot outside — I feel a little more naughty." Unsurprisingly, Lopez's naughty confession went viral, and not everyone was impressed. Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly slammed the pop diva's antics on X, writing, "So she's a soft p-rn star now. Great choices!" Jennifer Lopez's Record Label Drops Her After Album Flop As reactions continued to trail Lopez's latest onstage antics, news reports claimed she had parted ways with her record label BMG. According to The Sun, the label ended its partnership with the superstar after her 2024 album, "This Is Me... Now," failed to meet sales expectations. BMG had signed Lopez on a one-album deal now terminated after what insiders call dismal sales. The "Jenny From the Block" singer had previously released music with Columbia, Epic, and Capitol Records. Solve the daily Crossword

Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson Recreate THAT Scene From 'Titanic' & Fans Are Freaking Out
Pamela Anderson & Liam Neeson Recreate THAT Scene From 'Titanic' & Fans Are Freaking Out originally appeared on Parade. We've been watching with rapt attention the red carpet rapport between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson all month, as they've been making the rounds for The Naked Gun press tour. Now the pop culture icon has shared her own collection of photos and videos on Instagram, and fans are totally freaking out over how stunning she looks — and her chemistry with her leading man in the film. Anderson shared a carousel of images on social media and captioned the post, "From the London to Berlin … this tour has been full of smiles, laughter, and so much love ... Thank you to everyone who came out to giggle with us (and watch on the big screen). NYC next!" She also noted that The Naked Gun will be in theaters on August 1. First off — Pamela looks stunning. Fans are well aware of her shift in recent years away from a full face of glam makeup to going completely bare-faced, even on the red carpet. We love all of her looks, and this minimal makeup look is winning our hearts. What's winning our hearts even more? How absolutely endearing it is to watch these two together! The last video on the Instagram slideshow shows Pamela and Liam on a boat, recreating the "I'm flying" scene from Titanic, and it's utterly charming. Fans were quick to comment on the two, not-so-subtlety expressing their desire for them to start dating already. Someone replied in all caps to her post, "OKAY SHIPPING PAM AND LIAM WAS NOT ON MY 2025 BINGO CARD BUT IM SO HERE FOR IT," and another (again in caps!), "LIAM + PAM ——- ICONIC." More fans added, "Please let them fall in real love," "This is amazing. I love this for the both of them," "You are fantastic! I love you and Liam!" and, "They look soooooo good together." Even her son, Dylan Lee, chimed in (but not about his mom's potential relationship), "WOW WOW WOW!!! Can't wait for people to see this." We love a supportive son! Parade Daily🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Pamela and Liam are not currently in a relationship (that we know about), but have spoken publicly about their undeniable chemistry. Neeson told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month, "I think we had a lovely, unique chemistry." He added, "We didn't analyze it or put it under a microscope ... We just felt, 'Okay, this is working.'" Anderson also said in a different interview with Entertainment Weekly that she considers Neeson a "friend forever," and that they "definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy." Whatever is going on between these two, we're just happy to sit back and watch their relationship unfold — whether it's friendship or something more.
