Is Paul McCartney Announcing a Tour? Signs Point to Yes
Notably, one pick is white, the other is blue, and his name is in red, hinting that it may be plotting a tour of the U.S. this year. A rep for McCartney did not immediately return Rolling Stone's request for comment.

McCartney's reference to 'Got Back' likely refers to his last U.S. tour of the same name, which opened in April 2022 at Spokane Arena in Spokane, Washington, and hit several U.S. cities through June 2022 before it went worldwide, concluding in December 2024 in London.
It is also ostensibly a reference to the Beatles' 1969 Number One track 'Get Back,' which the band recorded with Billy Preston. The album version of the song features dialogue from the end of their famous rooftop concert at Apple Corps in London, another hint pointing to McCartney's IG post being performance-related.
There is also, of course, the song's lyrics, which reference the U.S. locales of 'Tuscon, Arizona' and 'California grass' and the 'Get Back' chorus, and it's likely McCartney will get back to the U.S. for some shows soon.

A'ja Wilson's Mom Needed Just One Word To Make Aces Star Regret Her Postgame Outfit
A'ja Wilson's Mom Needed Just One Word To Make Aces Star Regret Her Postgame Outfit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson may have made history on the basketball court, but it was her mom who stole the show during Wilson's postgame press conference. Advertisement Fresh off her record-setting performance in the Aces' thrilling 104-102 win against the Golden State Valkyries, Wilson sat down with reporters at Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas to discuss the game. However, before she could answer a question, her phone buzzed under the table. 'I'm sorry, can you say that one more time?' Wilson said, pausing mid-interview. 'My mom just sent me a picture of the way I look on this press conference. She sent me a picture and was like, 'Why?' Okay mom, I'm sorry.' Wilson, laughing, then pulled off her red headscarf right there at the press table. The viral moment was captured and shared by Bleacher Report on Instagram, where fans quickly flooded the comments section with relatable reactions. Advertisement 'Everyone needs a mama like this!' one fan wrote. Another joked, '😂😂😂 can always count on mom to humble us.' A third fan chimed in, '😂😂😂😂 Mama called a real-time family meeting!!!' echoing the universal feeling that moms always know how to keep their kids in check. 'That is so real! My mom would have done the same thing lol,' another follower shared. Someone else imagined Wilson's mom's text was 'definitely in all caps 😂.' One fan summed it up perfectly, saying, 'I'm dying laughing cause this is our moms 😂.'

Mandatory Credit: Lucas Peltier-Imagn Images© Lucas Peltier-Imagn Images Wilson's look that sparked the text from her mom was her pregame outfit, which she wore both to the arena and during the press conference. Advertisement The reigning WNBA MVP sported a white sleeveless basketball jersey styled as a short dress, featuring red and blue accents, with 'Comets' and the number 14 on the front. She paired it with matching white shorts underneath, white knee-high socks, white athletic shoes, and the now-infamous red headscarf. After missing games due to a wrist injury earlier in the week, Wilson came back strong. She became the first player in WNBA history to score 34 points, grab 16 rebounds and record two blocks in a single game while shooting an incredible 70% from the field. Yet even on a historic night, Wilson learned one thing for certain: No one is safe from a mom's real-time feedback—even an MVP. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.

Superman's Underwear Returns: A Brief History of the Man of Steel's Red Trunks
Superman's costume is as iconic as the character himself, in all its red, blue, and (sometimes) yellow-belted glory. The latest version donned by David Corenswet is a visual step back to a more traditional depiction of the suit, after Henry Cavill and television's Tyler Hoechlin's versions ditched its most-discussed aspect. I'm speaking, of course, of the red trunks — or underpants, as they are often referred. To underwear or not to underwear, or how to underwear, has been a focal point of virtually every Superman production. In the last big 'Superman' adaptation, filmmaker Zach Snyder did away with the trunks, which he said he couldn't make 'cool.' More from IndieWire Alamo Founder Tim League Launches Private Movie Theater Experience in New York Peter Jackson Is Working on Three Screenplays: 'I'm Certainly Not Retired' 'I did fight to keep them, but let's not forget that the red trunks are left over from Victorian-era strong men, who had to wear flesh-colored leotards and trunks over it so they didn't look naked. So I feel we've moved on a little bit,' Snyder told Yahoo! Movies in 2013. In 2011, soon after the first photo of Cavill was revealed, the actor told Jay Leno, 'Why wear underpants when you can be far more revealing?' When asked about the trunks (or lack thereof) a decade later by Stephen Colbert, Cavill indicated he would don them if need be. 'I really loved my suit, I thought it was pretty cool,' Cavill said (via The Wrap). 'However, if it were to happen again, I would definitely be open to the idea of adding the trunks in some way, shape or form.' Now, the semantics of what exactly Supes looks like with or without the red trunks date back to the '50s with George Reeves. That actor reportedly said, 'I'm getting a little too old to be running around in my underwear,' toward the end of production on 'The Adventures of Superman.' In a documentary on the 2001 DVD release of 1978 superhero flick granddaddy 'Superman: The Movie,' the movie's Lois Lane, Margot Kidder, talked about the various pieces used for Christopher Reeve's suit. '[Producer] Alexander Salkind pronounced very early as we were to begin shooting about Superman, 'Either he has a big one or he has nothing.' So, they put poor Christopher in this various assortment of sizes of codpiece under the suit in the red underpants, and some days Christopher would come out and he'd be out to hear [Kidder gestures]. Which would make me go 'ding ding ding ding' [Kidder mimes flicking the codpiece], cause they were all made of metal. He'd go, 'Kidder! Stop it!'' When Brandon Routh's first photo was unveiled in 2005 (for 2006's 'Superman Returns'), it sparked press and fan controversy over the size of Superman's, ahem, bulge. No, really, there were numerous articles written about it, including this one from Wired titled 'Battle of the Bulge.' Writer Regina Lynn wrote, 'If the real purpose of this is to avoid distracting the audience, it's backfired. They've just ensured that every one who goes to this movie will take a long hard look at the red undies – which, I suspect, is the real intention behind the whole thing.' New York Magazine quoted the movie's costume designer Louise Mingenbach as saying, 'There was more discussion about Superman's 'package' than anything else on the suit. Was it too big? Was it not big enough? Was it too pointy? Too round? It was somebody's job for about a month just working on codpiece shapes. It was crazy.' The red undies were even a big point of contention when Nicolas Cage almost played Superman in the abandoned Tim Burton-directed 'Superman Lives' way back in 1998. Per the excellent documentary 'The Death of Superman Lives' (available on YouTube), Cage said during a costume fitting, 'The only thing is like, what was wrong with the original costume was that he wore his underpants on the outside… but maybe if it were darker blue — you know, maybe if weren't glaring red.' Basketball shorts, believe it or not, were even discussed as an alternative on this misbegotten production. 'We tried all different ways to avoid that, actually, 'cause people tend to kind of make fun of that element on Superman,' said Colleen Atwood, the would-be costume designer of that movie, in the documentary. Well, now that Corenswet has taken over, the red trunks are back, and it was apparently something the actor himself was insistent about, as writer/director James Gunn explained to Gizmodo in December 2024. 'We were trying on all these different versions, and we screened tested with trunks and no trunks,' he said. 'And one of the things David said is that Superman wants kids to not be afraid of him. He's an alien. He's got these incredible powers. He shoots beams out of his eyes… He's this incredibly powerful, could be considered scary, individual and he wants people to like him. He wants to be a symbol of hope and positivity. So he dresses like a professional wrestler. He dresses in a way that makes people unafraid of him, that shows that hope that shows that positivity. And that really clicked in for me. And I think trying to pretend that Superman's costume doesn't have some frivolity to it at its base, trying to make it look serious, is silly because he is a superhero. He's the first one, brightly colored, and that's who he is.' Corenswet would appear to have made the right call, as 'Superman' has launched with an impressive $122 million domestic total this weekend. 'Three years ago, I hired James Gunn and Peter Safran to reimagine and unify the creative direction of DC under one leadership team, by breathing new life and excitement into one of the most iconic storytelling franchises in the world,' Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav said on Sunday, July 13, following the box office report. 'James and [DC Studios co-CEO Peter Safran's] commitment to honoring the legacy of the DC Universe while forging something new and enthralling is inspired.'

Peter Jackson Is Working on Three Screenplays: ‘I'm Certainly Not Retired'
It's been 11 years since Oscar-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson completed his 'Hobbit' trilogy. He has not directed a narrative feature since, though he certainly has not been stagnant. He did, however, direct the Beatles' docuseries 'Get Back' and the 3D WWI doc 'They Shall Not Grow Old,' which colorized and restored wartime footage. He also wrote and produced 'Mortal Engines' in 2018, and he was listed as an executive producer on the anime 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim' in 2024. But since he completed his last ode to J. R. R. Tolkien, he has not led a film set. Jackson, though, insists that he is not out of the game. More from IndieWire Superman's Underwear Returns: A Brief History of the Man of Steel's Red Trunks Alamo Founder Tim League Launches Private Movie Theater Experience in New York 'No, no. I'm certainly not retired,' Jackson told ScreenRant in an interview. 'We are currently working on three different screenplays. I'm at the moment writing three different scripts.' The 'District 9' director teased that more will be coming from both his 'Lord of the Rings' universe and Beatles retrospectives. 'We are producing and have been writing 'The Hunt for Gollum,' which Andy Serkis is going to direct next year,' he said. 'I've enjoyed working on documentaries, whether they show I've grown old or not, and obviously the 'Get Back: The Beatles' project. I've enjoyed doing various things with The Beatles, which is great, and that'll probably carry on.' What he might actually direct, he did not say. But what Jackson is most excited about, he revealed, involves pulling a real-life 'Jurassic Park' with a large prehistoric bird. 'But to me, de-extincting the Moa would be just as exciting, if not more exciting, than any film I could possibly make. I've made a lot of movies, but to see the Giant Moa brought back would be a level of excitement that I think would supersede anything at this point in time,' he explained. Jackson is speaking of the biotech company Colossal Biosciences, of which he is a major investor. The company, according to its website, is 'the world's first and only de-extinction company,' and goes on to write that 'Colossal is closer to restoring the past, preserving the present and safeguarding the future than anyone before. To truly illustrate our success, we must not only redefine de-extinction, but establish standards for the science behind it, as well.' Last year, Colossal was able to use fossil DNA to bring two dire wolves back from extinction after 10,000 years. No, really: here's the Time cover story.
