A 26-year-old YouTuber has produced one of the most profitable films in cinema history after his debut horror movie — made for just $750,000 in 20 days — has grossed more than $79.7 million worldwide in just two weekends, making it one of the highest-returning independent productions ever made. Curry Barker, who built his audience on YouTube before turning filmmaker, directed Obsession, which has defied almost every convention of modern horror filmmaking on its way to becoming the most talked-about film of the year. According to BoxOfficeMojo’s IMDb Pro data, the film has already earned more than 100 times its…

Coronation Street fans have turned their suspicions firmly on Tyrone Dobbs after the beloved mechanic was caught lying to detectives investigating the murder of villain Theo Silverstone — with viewers growing increasingly convinced he knows far more about the cobbles’ biggest whodunnit than he is letting on. Scaffolder Theo, played by James Cartwright, was killed earlier this month in a storyline that has gripped ITV viewers since Betsy Swain discovered his body on 1 May. The nasty character had spent months abusing his husband Todd Grimshaw, and several suspects have already been put in the frame — including Todd himself,…

Jennifer Lopez has appeared to take a pointed swipe at her ex-husband Ben Affleck, telling Jimmy Kimmel Live that she regrets not embracing single life earlier — and declaring that being alone is “fantastic” as she promotes her new Netflix film. The 56-year-old singer and actress appeared on the programme on Wednesday, confirming her single status to a cheering studio audience with a broad smile. “I should have done it sooner,” she told host Jimmy Kimmel. “I’ve been doing it all wrong. I’ve been doing it all wrong, trust me.” Lopez married Affleck in 2022 after the pair rekindled their…

Scooter Braun has made a striking admission about his infamous dispute with Taylor Swift, revealing that he barely knew the singer and had only spoken to her once — despite the controversy over his purchase of her master recordings consuming both of their public images for years. The 44-year-old music mogul addressed the saga during an appearance on the Second Thought With Suzy Weiss podcast on Thursday, saying he found it confusing to this day that the episode had become such a defining part of his public life. “There’s this big misconception that we knew each other and we had…

Euphoria viewers are convinced they have cracked the mystery of who survives the show’s season finale — and they believe the answer lies not in season three itself, but in a cancelled HBO series from three years ago. With the eighth and final episode of the third season, titled “In God We Trust,” airing on Sunday 31 May on HBO in the US — and landing on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK on Monday 1 June — fans have been furiously theorising ahead of what has been billed as the most explosive finale in the show’s history. The…

Jennifer Lopez struggled to hold back tears on live television as she opened up about her 18-year-old twins Max and Emme preparing to leave home for university — admitting she has been crying for two months and confessing she is dreading becoming an empty nester. The 56-year-old superstar appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on 27 May and was visibly emotional as soon as the subject came up. “Don’t talk about it, I’ll start crying,” she told Kimmel, while choking back tears when asked about her kids graduating from high school. The warning came too late — she was already welling…

John Humphrys has revealed that he was visibly drunk while broadcasting live for the BBC the night Richard Nixon resigned as US president in 1974 — an on-air humiliation that the veteran journalist has now described as the moment he effectively quit drinking for good. The 82-year-old broadcaster, who went on to become one of Britain’s most formidable interviewers across three decades on Radio 4’s Today programme and as host of Mastermind, spoke candidly about his relationship with alcohol in a new interview with The Times — admitting that he may well have been an alcoholic during his early years…

Dame Helen Mirren was subjected to a hostile tirade of abuse by a pro-Palestine activist on a London street, with the 80-year-old Oscar-winning actress being called an “evil Zionist b****” near Tower Hill as she walked with her husband at night — in an incident that has drawn widespread condemnation and renewed concern about the targeting of public figures over their perceived support for Israel. Footage of the confrontation, uploaded to Instagram on 27 May by an anonymous account called Anti-Fascist Action UK, shows Mirren approaching the man calmly and asking if he was okay. The situation escalated rapidly. The…

A suspected Ebola case has been admitted to hospital in Austria after a person from the Urfahr-Umgebung district returned from Uganda displaying symptoms of the deadly Bundibugyo virus — as the outbreak in central Africa continues to escalate and European health authorities brace for further imported cases. Austrian health officials confirmed the admission in a statement, saying: “Yesterday, a person from the Urfahr-Umgebung district was admitted to the hospital for inpatient evaluation due to symptoms of illness.” The patient had recently returned from Uganda, one of the countries at the centre of the ongoing outbreak, and is being assessed for…

EastEnders fans have been left stunned after spotting former soap legend James Alexandrou in the latest season of Amazon Prime’s high-octane spy thriller Citadel — nearly two decades after he walked away from Albert Square. Alexandrou, 41, played the iconic Martin Fowler for more than a decade from 1996 until 2007, becoming one of the most recognisable faces on British television. Now he has made his Hollywood mark, appearing in episode three of Citadel’s second season alongside A-list star Stanley Tucci in what fans are describing as a full-on action role — complete with gun in hand as a lead…
