Engadget28-05-2025
The innovative director David Lynch, who left indelible marks on film and television, passed away in January of this year. Now, Julien's Auctions is hosting the sale of The David Lynch Collection. More than 450 of the late director's possessions will be auctioned off online and at the company's auction house in Gardena, CA. For devotees of Lynch's work and worldview, just the experience of browsing the collection is pretty fascinating.
The auction showcases plenty of items closely related to his career in film, such as a personalized director's chair, multiple cameras, lighting kits and memorabilia from his many iconic works. Other pieces more broadly reflect his passion for creativity, like audio equipment, musical instruments, painting supplies and a whole lot of literature and vinyl records. The collection also has furniture, like the couch from his 1997 classic Lost Highway , kitchen wares and many personal items from his life. You can even bid on his LaserDisc player and disc collection.

Major Change Is Coming For One Of WWE's Biggest Stars

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After more than a decade with the same iconic music, WWE superstar Becky Lynch is reportedly set to get a brand new entrance theme. A new report has revealed details of the new song, which could debut as soon as tonight at SummerSlam. The reigning Women's Intercontinental Champion has used her current theme, "Celtic Invasion," since her days in NXT. The song has been the soundtrack to her entire main roster journey. A New Anthem For "The Man" According to a new report from Fightful Select, a new entrance theme for Lynch could be debuting imminently. The report states that the pop-punk band The Wonder Years created the new song for her several months ago. The new theme will reportedly feature lyrics and have a "The Man Has Come Around" soundbite inserted into the intro. This would be a significant change for one of WWE's top stars. The Power Of The Entrance Theme In professional wrestling, a superstar's entrance music is a crucial part of their identity. A great theme song can define a character, energize a crowd, and become synonymous with a wrestler's biggest moments. Iconic themes like "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's glass shatter or The Undertaker's gong are as legendary as the performers themselves.

The WWE logo is seen on the front of the WWE wrestling world headquarters on January 28, 2024 in Stamford, Connecticut. WWE founder Vince McMahon resigned from the WWE and its parent company TKO as executive chairman and its board of directors following allegations of sexual assault made public in a lawsuit in Connecticut. A former employee Janel Grant accused McMahon, 78, of sexual assault and sexually trafficking her. MoreBecky Lynch's "Celtic Invasion" has been the soundtrack to her transformation from the "Lass Kicker" to "The Man" and all of her historic championship victories, including the main event of WrestleMania 35. A new theme would signal the beginning of a new era for her character. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match Bypassing Def Rebel The news that an outside band created the theme is also significant. For the last several years, WWE's in-house music team, Def Rebel, has produced the vast majority of superstar themes. The group has received widespread criticism from many fans who find their music to be generic and less memorable than the work of previous composers like Jim Johnston and CFO$. It was reported several months ago that WWE was looking to work with more mainstream artists. Lynch, a top-tier star, being able to "bypass" the in-house team to work with a popular band like The Wonder Years is a major sign that this new strategy is being put into action. Fans should listen closely tonight when Becky Lynch makes her entrance for her title defense against Lyra Valkyria at SummerSlam. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

Lifelong Fan of Princess Diana Mortgages Home Four Times to Purchase Items Connected to Royal

A chance encounter at age 12 with Princess Diana set Renae Plant on her lifelong mission to assemble a veritable museum of the late style icon's most memorable outfits. In fact, Renae mortgaged her home for the fourth time to secure 35 items connected to Di at the recent Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection sale in L.A., held by Julien's Auctions. She bid nearly $700,000 on a single dress: the famous Caring Dress (pictured), which the People's Princess wore during her second Australian tour in 1988. Renae's love for the late princess began with their run-in during Diana's first Australian tour in 1983. Renae skipped school to go to a factory in Yandina, Queensland, Australia, where Diana and then-Prince Charles were touring. Renae was shocked when Di saw her, made a bee-line and shook her hand. 'I was so enamored when I saw her … she was so beautiful,' recalls Renae, now 54. Mesmerized, the young girl ducked under a barricade and walked behind a procession of guards and ladies in waiting. It was then she noticed Diana had dropped a clay platypus someone had given her. 'I ran over to the police and said, 'Lady Di dropped this,'' Renae shares. 'He looked at me and said, 'She must have dropped this to give to you.' That tiny platypus sent me on a trajectory I could never have imagined.' All of the Diana items Renae has acquired over the years can be seen online at The Princess & The Platypus Foundation's Princess Diana Museum, named after Renae's run-in with Di, of course. Today, the museum contains 'tens and tens of millions' of dollars' worth of items. The roughly 2,730 pieces include the 1991 Versace dress Di wore on the cover of Harper's Bazaar and a pair of stunning diamond-and-pearl earrings given to the princess by Queen Elizabeth herself. Renae's recent auction win also includes the famed Falcon Dress, a custom cream silk crepe embroidered evening gown designed by Catherine Walker and worn by Diana on her 1986 Gulf Tour. The Di devotee is glad to have added the items to her collection. 'I feel so blessed to be able to preserve Diana's legacy,' Renae says. 'I truly believe she was looking over us. She knew those pieces had to end up in the Princess Diana Museum. Angels were looking over me, and I know she was one of them for sure.' Solve the daily Crossword

Who is Becky Lynch? Everything to know about the WWE star in Happy Gilmore 2

Becky Lynch, the WWE wrestler, had an eventful summer after filming and will appear in a role in the new Happy Gilmore 2 movie, a sequel to the 1996 film Happy Gilmore. Lynch shared a video of herself with a golf club on Instagram in January 2025 using the hashtag #HappyGilmore2 and tagging Netflix to announce her role in the sequel, which will premiere on the streaming platform on Friday, July 25. That cast is insane. The world I got to play in was ridiculous and wonderful and incredibly fun," Lynch told Variety. "The time on that set was amazing, seeing Adam Sandler and how he conducts himself as such a star in that world, but also so kind to everybody." While Lynch's specific role in Happy Gilmore 2 remains unconfirmed, fans are eager to see her portrayal of a supporting character in this highly anticipated sequel. Who is Becky Lynch? According to WWE, Lynch, who has dubbed herself as "The Man," gained popularity and made history in 2019 by winning the Royal Rumble and pinning Ronda Rousey in the first-ever women's WrestleMania main event. This achievement made her both the Raw and SmackDown Women's Champion. Lynch then became the longest-reigning Raw Women's Champion in WWE history before stepping away from the sport to have a child in 2020. Lynch returned as "Big Time Becks" and became the Triple Crown Champion in 2023. This was followed by an absence that saw her return at WrestleMania 41 alongside Lyra Valkyria to win the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. The biggest stories, every morning.
