CANNES, France — A major power outage struck southeastern France on Saturday, disrupting traffic and briefly halting events at the Cannes Film Festival as the prestigious event prepared to hand out its top prize .
About 160,000 households in the Alpes-Maritimes department lost electricity after a high-voltage line fell Saturday morning, electricity network operator RTE said on X. The outage came hours after a fire at an electrical substation near Cannes overnight had already weakened the grid.

‘Happy Gilmore 2' Cast: Here's Every Star, Celebrity And Athlete Cameo

HAPPY GILMORE 2. Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore in Happy Gilmore2. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025. Happy Gilmore 2 arrives on Netflix tomorrow, July 25. The sequel features both returning and new stars from the beloved 1996 golf comedy, along with more than two dozen celebrity cameos, including professional golfers, hip-hop legends, NFL players, WWE stars and more. Nearly three decades later, Adam Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore, the short-tempered hockey player-turned-golfer. In the original film, Gilmore enters a series of tournaments to save his grandmother's house from foreclosure. The movie ends with Gilmore winning the Tour Championship and reclaiming his grandmother's home. In the Netflix sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind following a tragic accident. But when he needs $300,000 to send his daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler) to a ballet school in Paris, he returns to the sport in hopes of raising the money. HAPPY GILMORE 2. Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit in Happy Gilmore 2. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025. "Happy Gilmore isn't done with golf — not by a long shot," the film's synopsis reads. 'Adam Sandler's short-fused legend swings for a comeback to make his kid's dream come true.' Sandler told Good Morning America that his character's 'life isn't perfect right now' — at least 'at the beginning of the movie.' He continued, 'And he's a family man, and he's gettin' back into the golf game." In addition to Sandler, the 2025 film also sees the return of several familiar faces, including Julie Bowen as Happy's love interest, Virginia Venit; Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, Happy's arrogant nemesis; and Ben Stiller as Hal L., the orderly from Happy's grandmother's nursing home. Unfortunately, Carl Weathers was set to reprise his role as Derick 'Chubbs' Peterson before he passed away in February 2024. Of course, no Sandler movie is complete without his family. The actor's real-life daughter, Sunny Sandler, plays Gilmore's daughter, Vienna. His wife, Jackie Sandler, and elder daughter, Sadie, also appear in the sports comedy. Read on for a full breakdown of the Happy Gilmore 2 cast, from returning fan favorites to all the exciting cameos. Who Are the Returning Happy Gilmore 2 Cast Members? HAPPY GILMORE 2.

Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor Embark on a Romantic Journey in 'The History of Sound' Trailer

Paul Mescal and Josh O'Connor are getting close in their new romantic drama. On Thursday, July 24, Mubi released the first trailer for its upcoming movie The History of Sound, which stars Mescal, 29, and O'Connor, 35, as two young men named Lionel Werthing and David White, who meet while studying music in Boston in the 1910s. The trailer shows O'Connor and Mescal taking turns singing at school — and O'Connor's David traveling to Europe to serve in World War I — as both men reckon with the romantic relationship that blossoms after they bond over music. The film then follows the arc of their lives that comes in the years after first meeting. Chris Cooper, 74, portrays an older version of Mescal's Lionel; he can be heard reflecting on his past in a voiceover in the trailer. "Two young music students, Lionel and David, attending the Boston Conservatory in 1917, bond over their shared love of folk music," an official synopsis for the movie reads. "They reconnect a few years later, embarking on a song collecting trip in the backwaters of Maine." The History of Sound made its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in May. An official synopsis provided on Cannes' website indicates that the movie follows Lionel and David through several years of their lives, including after David is drafted into the military as World War I comes to a close. "In 1920, the two spend a winter walking through the forests and islands of Maine, collecting folk songs in order to preserve them for future generations," the synopsis adds. "Lionel drifts through Europe in his twenties and thirties, building a new life of profound success and happiness, and experiencing new loves. Yet he is constantly drawn back to memories of his brief time with David, trying to understand the impact of their relationship."

Back in May, Mescal told reporters during the movie's press conference in Cannes that the on-set atmosphere between him and O'Connor felt "very light and boyish and nonsensical at times." "We've known each other for about five years and we were definitely friendly so that foundation of safety and play was there, but that relationship really deepened in the three or four weeks we were filming," Mescal said at that time, describing O'Connor as "one of the easiest persons" to build chemistry with on set. The History of Sound is in theaters Sept. 12. Read the original article on People

Cardi B Channels Dolly Parton With Bird's Nest Hairdo at the Balenciaga Fall 2025 Couture Show in Paris

Cardi B took a style cue from Dolly Parton with bombshell bird's nest hair at the Balenciaga fall 2025 couture show in Paris on Wednesday morning. The artist's voluminous hairdo reached new heights with foot-long extensions that were tied and teased on top of Cardi B's head; her ends maintained the shape of the wide-barrel rollers that formed them. The inky tresses stuck out behind her, falling from the BumpIt positioned on the crown of her head.

TikTok-er-turned-pop star Addison Rae just sported the same dramatic aesthetic in the music video for her new hit, 'Times Like These,' which sees her undergo a major transformation from wet to wind-blown hair. Rae's grandiose style was designed by hair artist Lucas Wilson, whose client list includes models Gabbriette and Emily Ratajkowski. Cardi B's hair was most likely designed by Tokyo Stylez, her go-to hairstylist, with whom she's worked with on cover shoots and concert looks. Her makeup, on the other hand, bore a unique resemblance to trends from a later era. Her finely plucked, angled eyebrows, a burgeoning brow theme these days, harked back to the beauty aesthetics of the late '80s and early '90s, as did her bold red lip and shimmery purple shadow. Nothing about her visage spoke to the 'clean girl,' no-makeup trend that's consumed the online mecca since 2020. In fact, her made-up countenance drew comparisons to Doja Cat's punky makeup at the 2025 Met Gala in May. There, the 'Streets' vocalist wore aquatic shadow up to her skinny brows and matte lipstick in a dark crimson hue. For her fashion at the Balenciaga presentation, Cardi B donned a delicate long-sleeve, floral gown with intricate beading woven into the mesh fabric. She paired the sultry garment with sheer stockings and pointed-toe pumps. Elsewhere at the show, Lisa Rinna sported a relaxed, toned-down ensemble, consisting of a cocooning cobalt tracksuit and a straightened black bowl-cut wig similar to Anderson .Paak's signature 'do.
