A hilarious new trailer for The Naked Gun, in theaters this August, has the pair at the center of a few shocking — and NSFW! — sight gags.
The Akiva Schaffer-directed reboot-sequel of the 1980s and '90s crime comedies that originally starred Leslie Nielsen as police detective Frank Drebin now finds Neeson, 73, as that character's son, Frank Drebin Jr. Making quite the dynamic entrance as sultry femme fatale Beth is Anderson, 57.
"Only one man has the particular set of skills ... to lead Police Squad and save the world," reads an official logline for the movie, a subtle nod to Neeson's past Taken role.

For Neeson, the feeling was mutual. 'I'm madly in love with her,' he said of Anderson. 'No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film.'
Schaffer, who co-wrote the script with Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, called Neeson 'one of the last great actors with old school gravitas' in an April interview with PEOPLE: 'It's a joy to watch him lay it all on the line in the name of joyful laughs.'
And Anderson, the 47-year-old filmmaker added, is 'so funny and smart and kind. She's my new favorite person. She's gonna really surprise people with how hilarious she is.'

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly Reveal Their Newborn Daughter's Name — & It's Both Poetic & Edgy
With an actress and poet for a mom and a rockstar for a dad — who've admitted to drinking each other's blood — it's no surprise that Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly's newborn daughter has an interesting name. The world has been anxiously awaiting to hear what moniker the exes gave their daughter, and now they've finally revealed it. Trust us: it was worth the wait! Baby Fox-Baker's official name is Saga Blade! 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️🔥 thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox,' MGK (born Colson Baker) wrote on Instagram today. He shared a video of himself playing the ukulele and bouncing his little girl in her bouncy seat as she giggles and coos at her dad. More from SheKnows Drew Scott & Linda Phan's Adorable New Videos of Parker & Piper Give Fans an Intimate Glimpse Into Their Sweet Family Time Saga is such a cool literary name, which means a detailed account of events about heroic deeds. Think: Lord of the Rings saga. It's definitely a name that predicts a lot of epic adventures, drama, and happily ever afters in her life. The middle name, Blade, is edgy and fierce. This name literally translates to 'wealthy glory' and brings to mind a strong and sharp sword. (Something you would definitely need on a saga.) It's also the name of the half-vampire, half man from the late '90s tv series Blade. Could this be a reference to her parents' one-time pastime? Either way, we are obsessed with this unique name! Saga Blade was born on March 27, which MGK revealed with a post on Instagram. 'she's finally here!! our little celestial seed 🥹💓♈️♓️♊️,' he wrote. Later, he shared an update on his Instagram story to clarify that was a cute nickname and not her actual name. 'Wait guys … her name isn't 'Celestial Seed,'' he wrote with a laughing emoji. This baby is Fox's first daughter (MGK shares daughter Casie, 15, with ex Emma Cannon). She also shares sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 8, with ex Brian Austin Green. Green's wife Sharna Burgess, with whom he shares son Zane, 3, recently shared that Zane loves the new baby. 'Of course he's met her — that's his baby sister,' Burgess told PEOPLE earlier this month. 'They're deeply in love. She is the absolute cutest thing, and it's really beautiful.' It's nice to see the blended family is doing well and embracing baby Saga with open arms!

Ariana Grande's beloved grandma ‘Nonna' dead at 99
Ariana Grande's beloved grandma Marjorie Grande, whom she affectionately called 'Nonna,' has died. She was 99 years old. 'We are devastated to share that the beloved matriarch of our family has passed away,' read a family statement posted to the singer's Instagram Stories on Tuesday. 'Marjorie 'Nonna' Grande passed peacefully in her home and was surrounded by her family and loved ones for every moment of her last few weeks. 'We thank you for your love, support, and respecting our privacy as we grieve and celebrate her beautiful, extraordinary life,' they concluded. The '7 Rings' songstress, 31, has enjoyed a long and close relationship with her grandmother, who has attended several awards shows with the pop star in the past. In October 2024, Ariana and her family, including her brother, Frankie Grande, came together to celebrate the matriarch's 99th birthday. 'Happy 99th birthday to the Queen… NONNA! 9⃣9⃣ I love you so much and I couldn't feel more blessed to celebrate this unbelievable milestone with you and our beautiful family,' Frankie wrote on Instagram alongside their sweet family photo. 'Wow. Happy happy happy Birthday! I love you with all of my heart! ' Last year, Marjorie made history as the oldest person to ever appear on the Billboard Hot 100 after Ariana featured her on 'Ordinary Things,' which appears on the 2024 album, 'Eternal Sunshine.' Nonna's voice appears at the end of the song as she answers Ariana's question: 'How can I tell if I'm in the right relationship?' 'Never go to bed without kissing goodnight. That's the worst thing to do,' Marjorie says on the song. 'Don't ever ever ever do that. And if you can't, and if you don't feel comfortable doing it, you're in the wrong place. Get out.' Marjorie also had uncredited features on Ariana's 2013 song 'daydreamin'' as well as 2019's 'bloodline.' Back in November, the two-time Grammy winner celebrated her performance as Glinda in 'Wicked' by flying to her hometown of Boca Raton, Fla., to watch the blockbuster film with Marjorie, Frankie and Ariana's boyfriend, Ethan Slater. 'Flew to boca for a day to watch with Nonna at the movie theater I grew up going to every weekend, Cinemark 20 in Boca,' Ariana shared on her Instagram Stories at the time, per People. 'Thrilled to report that when the sugar glider had her drum solo nonna exclaimed loudly 'oh I LOVE that' @jonmchu,' she wrote on another photo, tagging the film's director. Marjorie — who is the mother of Ariana's mom, Joan — famously encouraged her granddaughter's talent from an early age. In 2014, the matriarch shared that she once urged the singer to audition for a part in a Boca Raton production of 'Annie.' 'I said, you know, Ariana could do that,' she shared on 'Today,' according to People. 'She became the star. She auditioned, and she became Annie.'

Kneecap Launch London Billboard Takeover Ahead of ‘Witch-Hunt' Court Appearance
Northern Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap remain defiant ahead of a court appearance for member Mo Chara this week, launching a billboard takeover in London in response. The series of billboards was announced on the group's social media on Tuesday (June 17) ahead of Mo Chara's scheduled appearance at Westminster Crown Court over terror charges on Wednesday. More from Billboard Addison Rae Announces Dates For Debut 2025 Headlining World Tour How Brandon Lake Is Leading A Whole New Flock To 'What's Real And What's True' In Christian Music Where Are the Blockbuster Soundtracks? The Screen Has Gone Dark for Hit Movie Albums Since 'Wicked' & 'Twisters' Mo Chara, born Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, was last month charged with a terrorism offense by London's Metropolitan Police after being investigated for allegedly showing support for militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah in historic videos. Both are proscribed as terror groups according to U.K. law, and considered an offense under the Terrorism Act 2000. In response, Kneecap claimed that the alleged offense is little more than a 'carnival of distraction' designed to shift the spotlight away from more pertinent matters. 'We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves,' Kneecap wrote in a statement. The group's timely billboard campaign follows in the same vein as their initial response, with a social media post seeing the group note the messages were specifically plastered in the lead-up to the impending court appearance, which they labelled a 'witch-hunt.' 'British courts have long charged people from the North of Ireland with 'terrorism' for crimes never committed,' they wrote. 'We will fight them. We will win.' The billboards – in the Irish flag colors of green, white and orange – feature the phrase 'More Blacks, More Dogs, More Irish, Mo Chara,' referencing the 'No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs' slogan which gained traction in the 20th century to discriminate against the aforementioned groups. Currently, Kneecap are also scheduled to perform at the Glastonbury Festival in England later this month, despite politicians throughout the U.K. writing to organizers of festivals which have booked the band to request their removal. Though the group remain on the final lineup for Glastonbury, they were however recently removed from Scotland's TRNSMT festival in July following safety concerns from law enforcement.
