Wes Anderson — every movie ranked

Times19-05-2025
Wes Anderson is in a league of his own among film-makers in modern cinema, having carved out a reputation for quirky, eccentric and visually arresting movies often featuring eclectic ensemble casts.
His 12th feature, The Phoenician Scheme, is in cinemas from Friday and will surely join a long line of films that have delighted audiences since his debut Bottle Rocket was championed by the master film-maker Martin Scorsese in 1996. Since then his movies have attracted some of the biggest stars — from Ben Stiller, Edward Norton and Gwyneth Paltrow to Bruce Willis, Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray — in some fascinating and intriguing tales.
But which is the best Wes Anderson movie?

Joanna Gaines reveals 'weird rule' she implemented in her Texas farmhouse since marrying Chip

Chip and Joanna Gaines have built an incredible lifestyle empire for themselves since shooting to fame on HGTV's Fixer Upper. So it's no surprise that Joanna - who has been compared to a modern day Martha Stewart - is a pro when it comes to welcoming guests into her Waco farmhouse. During an appearance on Today to promote her new home cooking show, Magnolia Table: At the Farm, Gaines, 47, revealed the 'weird rule' that she's implemented at home since marrying husband Chip in 2003. 'There's a cake plate stand on the island that since I first got married - it was like the first year, I got it for a wedding gift and it was empty,' she explained. 'We had so many friends and family coming in, and I was like, "I need to start having something in there," so it was kind of a weird rule I made,' she continued. 'The rule is just kind of always have something on the cake plate stand for the family or for guests - it's really me now just eating the stuff, so that's fun. It's now for me.' Chip and Joanna have been married for over two decades - but that doesn't mean they haven't had their fair share of ups and downs. The HGTV stars - who share five children - recently opened up about their private life and how they have dealt with the challenges of marriage. Joanna, 47, revealed that they had 'non-negotiables from day one,' speaking on how to balance their fame, family and relationship. She referenced the store she and Chip, 50, owned - which was called The Little Shop on Bosque and opened in the early 2000s - at the start of their marriage. However, the mom-of-five said even though it was scary, she could see the bright side even if they 'were struggling for the first 12 years of marriage.' 'Like every Friday it was like, "Well, is this when we close our doors [of The Little Shop on Bosque]?"' she explained on the Stronger Podcast with Don Saladino. 'Every day we showed up, it was like, "Well, if this all goes away, we still have each other,"' the Fixer Upper star said passionately. She explained that sums up the 'core and foundation' of who they are. 'Every decision we make, we say, "How will this affect this?"' the renovation star shared. Joanna credited her and Chip's decision to prioritize each other as helping them navigate fame whilst raising a family. Chip agreed, adding he would be fine with stepping away from the spotlight, as long as the most important thing - his wife and kids - were still there. 'As I think about fame and success and money in comparison to my marriage and my family… [If] all of this would instantly go away, and my wife and my kids would be back on the farm, raising animals,' the doting dad mused during the interview. 'But Jo and I, we believe we can have our cake and eat it too in the sense that I can be successful and I can have a healthy marriage and family,' he added. Joanna also shared the new endeavor the two are embarking on - their wellness journey. 'At this stage in our life, what we're trying to figure out is: we've got family, we've got business, like that's our thing... but now this wellness and health and working out, that is a new thing for us that we're trying to figure out,' she shared. Joanna and Chip have been married since 2003 and share five children: Drake, 20, Ella, 18, Duke, 17, Emmie, 15, and Crew, seven.

'DJ Trump' tests out new White House outdoor speaker system by blasting some of his favorite songs

President Donald Trump tested out the new outdoor speakers outside the freshly remodeled Rose Garden at the White House, playing some of his favorite hits that echoed beyond the White House driveway. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt brought reporters out into the garden to witness the event. The president initially sparked interest after the familiar peals of Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA began, followed by Pavarotti's 'Nessun dorma,' Elvis Presley's 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' and Joe Cocker's 'You Are So Beautiful.' Trump emerged from the Oval Office and pumped his fist as the music played, and pointed at the renovated garden. The music continued throughout the afternoon, including some of his favorites like 'YMCA' by the Village People. 'The president wanted me to let all of you know that he is testing the speakers for what will be the best event in the history of the White House,' Leavitt said, previewing a future event to be determined in the upcoming days. She said the president was controlling the music from inside the Oval Office on his iPad while also conducting meetings. Leavitt added that Trump even hinted that the first White House party on the new patio would be for the press. 'He said: "Maybe we'll do that,"' Leavitt teased. Leavitt confirmed the yellow striped umbrellas were the same as those on Trump's Mar-a-Lago, Florida, estate. 'They are literally the umbrellas from Mar-a-Lago,' she said When asked if First Lady Melania Trump was pleased with the renovation, Leavitt replied, 'I believe so.' She noted that the first lady's Rose Garden renovations from Trump's first term were 'untouched.' Leavitt confirmed the president's plans to spend time in Bedminster for August had been canceled, when typically renovations are conducted at the White House. 'This is normally the time when the president goes on vacation, but not this president,' she said. 'There were discussions about him working from Bedminster for a couple of weeks, but he decided against it.' She said the president was focused on remaining in Washington, DC and getting a peace deal in Ukraine. 'He's a man on a mission. He wants to move. Get things done quickly,' she said. 'He wants to strike when the iron is hot.'

Nicole Scherzinger's BRUTAL comment about the Pussycat Dolls goes viral again as fans take sides

Nicole Scherzinger 's old comments about the Pussycat Dolls are coming back to bite her. Long before the 47-year-old superstar scored her 2025 Tony for Sunset Boulevard, she was climbing her way through the pop scene — first with the short-lived girl group Eden's Crush, and then as the breakout face of the Pussycat Dolls. The Dolls exploded onto the charts with their 2005 debut PCD, led by the smash single Don't Cha, which shot to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Hits like Stickwitu and Buttons soon followed, with Stickwitu even snagging a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. The lineup — Nicole, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton, and Kimberly Wyatt — was marketed as a united front, sharing the spotlight and the glory. But behind the scenes, that image wasn't as picture-perfect as fans thought. In a resurfaced 2012 Behind the Music interview — now recirculating as the series marks its 28th anniversary — Nicole dropped a bombshell, claiming she carried the vocals while the rest of the Pussycat Dolls were mostly sidelined from the recording process. 'I was the one singing,' she admitted, even alleging the other Dolls hadn't heard the tracks until after she'd already laid them down. That resurfaced clip has gone viral all over again, reigniting fan backlash and stirring up the age-old debate about just how much of the Pussycat Dolls was really a 'group effort.' In the video, Nicole nervously laughed before spilling tea that rocked the fandom all over again. 'Oh man, I hope I don't get in trouble for the stuff that I say,' she warned, moments before dropping her confession. 'I'll never forget I finished the album PCD,' she continued in the confessional. 'And [we] brought the girls into the studio and we played it for them... and that was the first time they ever heard the music.' Nicole doubled down, making sure no one misunderstood her point. 'Do you understand what I'm saying? We played the music for the Pussycat Dolls... It's the first time they ever heard the songs.' The comments quickly reignited old debates among fans. One critic slammed her for dragging the group, writing, 'This truly was such a nasty thing to divulge. lol. I don't think Nicole ever got shorted on credit for her work in PCD, but I guess she wasn't satisfied.' Another piled on, saying, 'As if we didn't know that she was the main one. Hell she made it known that if one of the other girls had a little part, she wasn't happy.' But plenty of others rushed to defend her. One supporter shot back, 'I still don't get the Nicole-lead-singer-hate thing. She's not the first and she won't be the last to sing mostly all the vocals for a group. Why does she get so much flack for being honest and unabashed about it?!' The resurfaced clip surfaced just weeks after Nicole closed a major chapter in her career with a powerhouse farewell as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard. She gave audiences chills in her final performance, taking the stage one last time as the tragic silent film star and shocking fans with a dramatic curtain call look that featured theatrical blood trickling down her neck. Critics hailed her haunting portrayal in Andrew Lloyd Webber's dark classic, a role that not only earned her rave reviews but also a Tony Award. Reflecting on the journey, Nicole shared an emotional message with fans on Instagram: 'Today, the sun sets on Sunset Blvd for the final time. 'After living and breathing Norma Desmond for the past two years, it's almost impossible to grasp that today is the last show. What began as a limited run, then extended, now somehow, nearly 10 months on Broadway have flown by. 'Norma's story is for anyone who's ever felt alone. Lonely. Abandoned. Outcast. 'For anyone who never felt like they belonged. For those who once loved something deeply and had it taken from them, aching to reclaim it. For the dreamers. The fighters. The believers. The warriors. For those unshakable in their purpose and power, doing what they love most. '"This is my life. It always will be. There is nothing else."' She concluded with a heartfelt note: 'Norma has changed me forever. Thank you, Broadway 'for the magic in the making.''
