Watch: Timothee Chalamet is a ping-pong player in 'Marty Supreme'
1 of 3 | Timothee Chalamet arrives for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March. He stars in "Marty Supreme." File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A24 is previewing the film Marty Supreme, starring A Complete Unknown star Timothee Chalamet and wellness icon Gwyneth Paltrow. Chalamet, 29, portrays Marty Mauser, "a young man with a dream no one respects," who "goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness," according to an official logline. The character is partially inspired by the late Marty Reisman. The trailer released Wednesday opens with Mauser standing on his hotel suite's bed in an open trench coat as he phones Paltrow's room, despite not having met her yet. "I saw you in the lobby yesterday," he says. "Well, I never talked to an actual movie star. You know I'm something of a performer, too." Marty is a ping-pong player with "a purpose" that drives him to make sacrifices. Paltrow, 52, previously talked about the film on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. "This movie came up, and my brother, who's a filmmaker, was like, 'This is a great director, and you should meet with him," she told Fallon at the time. Josh Safdie, well known for his work on Uncut Gems, is the film's director, co-writer and producer. The feature also stars Kevin O'Leary, Odessa A'Zion, Abel Ferrara and Tyler Okonma, and will have a Christmas release. Timothée Chalamet turns 29: a look back Timothee Chalamet arrives at the premiere of "Call Me By Your Name" on opening night of the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada on September 7, 2017.

Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's cause of death revealed
Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock's, cause of death has been revealed. Blackstock — who shared two children with Clarkson — died Thursday at the age of 48, three years after he was diagnosed with cancer. Silver Bow County Coroner Dan Hollis confirmed to People Monday that his cause of death was melanoma, a form of skin cancer. The manner of his death was natural causes. 'Brandon Blackstock passed away peacefully at his home in Butte, Montana, on August 7 under hospice care surrounded by his family,' Silver Bow County Coroner Dan Hollis said. According to the Mayo Clinic, the first signs of melanoma are a change in an existing mole on your skin or 'the development of a new pigmented or unusual-looking growth on the skin.' Melanoma symptoms 'most often develop in areas that have had exposure to the sun,' including arms, back, face and legs. A representative for Blackstock confirmed his death in a statement to People last week. 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away,' the statement reads. 'Brandon bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.' Blackstock was a talent manager and a former stepson of country star Reba McEntire. He and Clarkson were married from 2013 to 2022 and have two children together, River, 11, and Remington, nine. Clarkson has not publicly spoken out about her ex-husband's death. News of Blackstock's death also came hours after Clarkson postponed the remainder of her Las Vegas residency dates for August. 'Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas,' the singer wrote in an Instagram post at the time. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them.' 'I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding.' Blackstock and Clarkson finalized their divorce in 2022, with the singer agreeing to give a one-time payment of $1.3 million to her ex-husband, along with monthly child support in the amount of $45,601. The 'Stronger' singer has also spoken candidly about ending the relationship in 2020, after nearly seven years of marriage. During an appearance on the We Can Do Hard Things with Glennon Doyle podcast in 2023, she explained why she ultimately convinced herself to stay with Blackstock for as long as she did. 'I was like, 'I can do this. I can handle so much,'' she said. 'My ego is, 'I can control my actions, I can control my reactions, I can do this and I can reach this person and I can get through.' It becomes a little bit of your ego that gets in the way.' Last month, Clarkson had to postpone her opening night show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace just hours before she was set to take the stage for health reasons. 'We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans,' she said on Instagram at the time. 'I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me and I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow's opening at Caesars.

'Rental Family' to screen at BFI London Film Festival gala
Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Rental Family, written and directed by Hikari and starring Brendan Fraser and Takehiro Hira, will screen at the 69th annual London Film Festival gala Oct. 16. The event at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall will mark the movie's London premiere, with Hikari (37 Seconds, Beef) and Fraser (The Whale) expected to attend. In Rental Family, Fraser portrays an actor who reluctantly accepts a role from an agency that rents out family members to people living in the Tokyo area. "As he immerses himself in his clients' worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality," an official synopsis reads. "Confronting the moral complexities of his work, he rediscovers purpose, belonging and the quiet beauty of human connection." Mari Yamamoto, Shannon Mahina Gorman and Akira Emoto also star in the film. A preview shows Fraser's character agreeing to portray a father figure in a family. When his so-called daughter meets him, she declares "I hate you!" The film is set for a November release in the United States and in January 2026 in Britain. "I feel so humbled and honored to return to the 2025 BFI London Film Festival with my second feature..." said Hikari in a statement. "While it's inspired by a real, and sometimes unusual, business in Japan, it's ultimately about people longing for connection and discovering the meaning of true friendship in modern Tokyo." Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery will open this year's BFI London Film Festival, which runs Oct. 8 to 19. Both Wake Up Dead Man and Rental Family will also screen at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
