Ana de Armas Says She's ‘Obviously' Working With Tom Cruise Amid Dating Rumors
Ana de Armas recently spoke about her equation with Tom Cruise. The pair is working on a new project that includes Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie. Both Liman and McQuarrie have frequently collaborated with Cruise in several action films. McQuarrie is also the writer of Cruise's current film in theaters, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
Ana de Armas has been often spotted with Tom Cruise in the past few months, but the actress says it is because the duo is working together. In a recent interview with Women's Wear Daily, Armas gushed about the extensive 'training' that she is currently participating in, thanks to the Mission Impossible thespian.
The 37-year-old Oscar-nominated actress revealed, 'Obviously, everyone knows I'm working with Tom Cruise. We're working on something with Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie, and those guys are unbelievable at everything they do.'
Armas teased, 'I'm doing crazy training, as you do when you're working with Tom. It's another level that just keeps setting the bar higher and higher.' She further shared, 'But it's so much fun. And we're not only working on that thing that we're training for, but also a couple other things too.'
Additionally, sources close to the celebrities have reportedly said the duo 'appeared to have no romantic connection.' The duo were photographed together in February in London. At the time, a source told PEOPLE they grabbed dinner together along with their agents. The pair spent time 'discussing potential collaborations down the line.'
Meanwhile, Armas is also starring in a John Wick franchise film, Ballerina, which will hit the theaters on June 6, 2025. Aramas plays the role of Eve Macarro, a ballerina who has started an unconventional training following the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
As much as Ballerina is an action film, Armas says it is also about the character's emotional journey. The Blonde star explained in her WWD interview, 'As much action as there was on the page, I could see the heart too. The character has such a beautiful journey. The emotionality of the character is so important in the film, I was just like, 'oh, I have to do this.''

Some People Are Convinced Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Secretly Got Married After Seeing This One Small Detail In Someone's IG Story
Well, the internet has put on its investigative hat once again. This time, some believe Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce secretly got married! It all started after wedding planner Ellie Nottoli (@elliestyled) posted an Instagram story this past Sunday. It showed behind-the-scenes details from NFL player Cole Kmet and Emily Jarosz's wedding. In a walkthrough of the wedding setup, @elliestyled pans over some decor on a table... And it includes a calligraphed envelope addressed to 'Taylor and Travis Kelce' at Table 13, which happens to be Taylor's favorite number. Although Taylor and Travis were not at this wedding, they were reportedly invited. (Taylor and Travis were in attendance at Travis' cousin's wedding instead.) Related: 21 Incredible Photos Of Hollywood Legends Back In The Day That I Guarantee You've Never, Ever Seen Before Immediately, fans noticed Taylor's last name was not included on the envelope. So people jumped right to the idea that it must mean they secretly got married. Related: 21 Times Celebrities Revealed Wildly Juicy, Shady, Or Even Disturbing Things In Interviews And they went all in on this theory. Everything from the table being her favorite number... To her name being first. This chatter eventually led to a heated debate about how names are listed on wedding invitations, and if Taylor would ever change hers if she did get married. If you didn't know, whether it is for traditional or aesthetic purposes, some designers and wedding planners use only first names or the man's last name on invitations. (Meaning, it is not out of the norm for unmarried people to be addressed this way on an invite.) Some also pointed out that @elliestyled may simply be sharing an aesthetic vision that represented the wedding. So, we think it was just a decorative setup, and not a real indicator that Travis and Taylor are actually married. ...That being said, stranger things have happened!

Marvel's ‘Deadpool & Wolverine' Secrets Are Safe Again, Even the ‘Nicepool' Ones
Justin Baldoni's defamation case against Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, which included the character as part of its claims, was tossed out earlier this week. The Justin Baldoni-Blake Lively legal battle isn't something io9 would normally cover—but when Marvel got pulled into the fray, we took a little more interest. Deadpool & Wolverine, starring and co-written by Lively's husband Ryan Reynolds, famously featured a Deadpool variant played by Reynolds that seemingly mocked Lively's It Ends With Us co-star and director Baldoni. Though the character was dubbed 'Nicepool,' Baldoni didn't take kindly to the portrayal. The issue became part of the defamation lawsuit Baldoni filed against Lively and Reynolds, in the wake of the suit Lively filed against Baldoni accusing him of misconduct during the making of It Ends With Us. It's been a big back-and-forth of Hollywood spin and legalese, but Marvel fans perked up when, as part of the suit, Baldoni's lawyers wanted access to Marvel documents pertaining to the development of the Nicepool character. In late April, Marvel pushed back, explaining in a letter shared on Deadline that 'the requested documents are particularly sensitive because they relate to the development of a character in an ongoing movie franchise.' It went on to explain that the 'crossover' way of storytelling is a foundational part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe—something any Marvel fan, including anyone who saw Deadpool & Wolverine, can understand—and 'whether and how such elements will appear in upcoming, unreleased projects is the subject of much public interest, and this information is closely guarded by Marvel.' Basically, Marvel was worried that if certain documents became public as part of Baldoni's lawsuit, they could potentially spoil what Marvel has coming in the future, particularly as it pertains to Deadpool (or even Nicepool, though we can't imagine Reynolds is in a hurry to bring him back after all this). But with Baldoni's defamation lawsuit being tossed out this week, Variety reports, Marvel can breathe a little easier. While the legal clash between Baldoni and Lively is still in play—on Baldoni's side, he can still file an 'amended complaint by June 23 regarding interference with contracts'—Nicepool is now off the table. According to Variety, Judge Lewis Liman's ruling included the following: 'The motion by Marvel Entertainment, LLC ('Marvel') to quash a subpoena issued to Marvel from the [production company] Wayfarer Parties and for a protective order prohibiting the disclosure of Marvel's confidential documents is GRANTED.' 'The information sought is no longer relevant to a claim or defense in this action. Moreover, assuming the information were relevant, it would not be proportional to the needs of the case and the potential harm to Marvel of disclosing confidential commercial information.'

‘Lotus' by Little Simz Review: The Beat of Betrayal
London rapper Simbiatu Ajikawo, who has released albums as Little Simz since 2015, is an important player in her city's fertile hip-hop and R&B scene. In her home country, the 31-year-old can fill an arena, but, like many of her peers, she's more of a cult figure in the U.S. While she's critically respected and admired by American artists—Kendrick Lamar has praised her work, and Lauryn Hill, one of her musical heroes, took her on tour—she's hasn't quite reached the mainstream. Some of that has to do with cultural barriers and lost-in-translation references. And some has to do with her more grown-up style. Across five full-length albums, including 2021's 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert,' which won the Mercury Prize for album of the year, she has generally favored what one might call a 'classic' aesthetic, with recognizable instruments playing funk and R&B riffs in the tradition of hip-hop artists who emerged in the late 1980s and early '90s. (This stands in contrast to much of the most popular youth-oriented rap of today, in both the U.S. and U.K., which tends toward electronic textures.)
