ABCOn Saturday morning, May 4, legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola dropped a tease to his decades-in-the-making, mostly self-funded epic Megalopolis.In the snippet, apparently from the movie s opening moments, one of the movie s many stars, Adam Driver, playing a man named Caesar, emerges from a window atop what appears to be New York City s Chrysler Building.Dressed in a black suit and shirt, he shakily makes his way to the ledge, taking in the view, before he takes a fateful step off.However, he s heard screaming "Time stop!" and sure enough, Caesar is paused mid-step, his body leaning over to the point where gravity would have logically already taken him. There s a dizzying zoom of the height of the building from his perspective, from where we can see traffic has been stopped in its tracks, too.Impossibly, Driver leans back onto the roof, and snaps his finger, and time and traffic resumes, and he seems to gaze at the city before him with fresh eyes. The teaser then cu
Courtesy Apple MusicDua Lipa is a global pop superstar and says the criticism she got early in her career "fueled" her into showing people they were wrong about her.Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Dua says, "There can be a moment where people really love you and you feel so supported and you re like, Oh, this is great. Especially in the beginning. I was doing interviews and people were like, How do you deal with hate? And I m like, I don t get any hate. It s great. And then that changed really quickly.""I remember even when it was Grammy s Best New Artist nomination and I d won it and there was people online being like, She s not deserving of it. She s got no stage presence. She can t do this . she won t be here next year. There was a lot of that. That fueled me in a way."She says, "Every time someone has doubted me, I ve proved them wrong. . This is pushing me to be better, to work hard. And I get a real kick out of proving
Melissa McCarthy and Barbra Streisand in 2016; Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for BSBWhile she was around when it was invented, Barbra Streisand still doesn t seem to understand how social media works. After being dragged online for a seemingly insensitive comment she made on a friend s post, she s now apologizing.On April 29, actress Melissa McCarthy posted a couple of photos on Instagram of herself at an event with director Adam Shankman. Streisand responded by commenting, "Give him my regards did you take Ozempic?" She later deleted the comment, but not before it was captured by the Comments by Celebs account and captioned, "Babs!!"One user responded, "Omg Babs, you can’t just ask people if they’re on Ozempic."
