Is Grace playing hero or hustler? On The Bold and the Beautiful, Grace's sudden cure-all plan sounds like a soap opera jackpot…a secret, experimental surgery for $1 million, off the books. Bill and Liam dive headfirst into this high-stakes gamble, desperate to save Liam's life. But is this a genuine Hail Mary or a perfectly plotted scam?
Is Liam Even Sick?
Whispers around the fandom say Liam (Scott Clifton) might not be sick at all. Could Grace (Cassandra Creech) be cooking up a scheme to cash in big? The surgery's hush-hush nature, the sky-high price tag, and the tight-lipped secrecy – all classic red flags. Is this just the biggest con B&B fans have ever seen? Or is it a brilliant plot twist to watch unfold?

Soap operas thrive on drama, but this one could take the cake. Grace, known for her medical prowess and questionable morals, might have found a way to turn Liam's 'illness' into her personal payday. A million-dollar secret surgery? It almost sounds too good to be true. Especially when it has to be done under the radar, away from hospital eyes and legal scrutiny. Why the secrecy if this is the miracle cure everyone's been praying for?
A Sneaky Money Grab?
Dollar Bill's (Don Diamont) desperation to save his son makes him the perfect mark – er, patient. But with this much money on the table, you have to ask: what's really going on behind closed doors? If Liam's illness is just a storyline to squeeze cash out of the Forrester family, Grace's reputation could skyrocket… or implode spectacularly.

Fans are buzzing: Is Grace a saint or a schemer? Is Liam a victim or a willing player? And what about Bill…is he the blind benefactor in this grand hustle? Only time will tell if this surgery delivers a miracle or a money grab that shocks B&B viewers. Either way, it's sure to keep the drama sizzling and the gossip mills grinding!

Liam Neeson And Pamela Anderson Dating Rumors Explained

If your social media timeline is anything like mine, you've probably seen tons of footage of Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson having a good time together while promoting their raunchy new comedy, The Naked Gun. In case you hadn't guessed, the new movie is a reboot-sequel to the beloved 1980s and 1990s crime comedies starring Leslie Nielsen. Most recently, the co-stars cozied up on the red carpet for the movie's premiere in London, sharing a kiss as they posed together for photos. So... Pamela, 58, and Liam, 73, are both iconic, brilliant actors. And they're also both single, which means only one thing: fans are wondering if they might be Hollywood's next cute couple. Pamela and Liam also both have grown-up sons. Liam — whose wife, Natasha Richardson, tragically died in 2009 — is father to 30-year-old Micheál and 28-year-old Daniel. Meanwhile, Pamela shares 29-year-old Brandon and 27-year-old Dylan with her ex-husband, Tommy Lee. For some context, Liam said in October last year that he fell 'madly in love' with Pamela while they were shooting The Naked Gun together. 'She's just terrific to work with,' he told People. 'I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. 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.' At the time, fans thought this was amazing and that they'd make a sweet couple. And so, with their recent red carpet outing, there's plenty of renewed speculation about the pairing, and whether they might be the 'new late-life love story.' However — and I hate to be the bearer of bad news — it sounds like Liam and Pam are strictly platonic. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly in May, Pamela said that she and Liam kept their relationship 'professionally romantic,' although that didn't mean they didn't have a lot of fun. 'Our chemistry was clear from the start,' she said, revealing that they bonded over their shared 'love of literature and a good laugh.' 'I am in awe of him, his experience, and work ethic. I soaked him in like a sponge.' More recently, the pair did a joint cover interview for EW, in which Pamela said that she has found 'a friend forever in Liam,' adding that they have a connection that is 'very sincere' and 'very loving.' 'He's a good guy,' she told the outlet. 'He's a true artist. He comes from theater and Schindler's List and has done over a hundred films. And I did things inside out and backwards, came from television, and then my personal life kind of overshadowed my professional life. It is funny: We all come to this place in different ways, but to be able to share this experience with him is very meaningful and such an honor.' And, for what it's worth, Liam has previously said he's done with dating in his 70s, telling People: 'No... I'm past all that.' So, it sounds like romance isn't on the cards between these two, but can you blame Liam for being a little Taken by Pamela? Get it?

ARMY Shares Endearing BTS Stories In ‘Forever We Are Young'

BTS ARMY is one of the world's largest and most globally active fanbases. BTS has already inspired a few entertaining documentaries. Yet those documentaries may only tell half of the story. A new film Forever We Are Young offers a unique perspective on the BTS fandom, known collectively as ARMY, and how they became a global force for change. ARMY—which stands for Adorable Representative M.C. for Youth—is one of the world's most active fanbases. With a membership that some rate as high as 100 million members, ARMY is a force to be reckoned with. Filmmakers Grace Lee and Dr. Patty Ahn gave fans a chance to tell their own stories and used these interviews to illustrate the band's timeline. Fans relate anecdotes of how and when they learned to love BTS and what the band meant to them, often in juxtaposition with clips of the music that won their hearts. The filmmakers asked fans to tell the story of how BTS changed their lives. The film proceeds chronologically starting with the band's early days when some fans met BTS through vlogs of fan members' daily lives. By the time BTS played their first U.S. gig at a small venue in California, a group of U.S. fans were already there to support them. Forever We Are Young is also a story about the globalization of entertainment and the role the Internet played in introducing Korean culture to the world. Fans from all over the world not only connected with a new band in South Korea, they connected with each other. Those fans supported the band as they achieved international stardom, further globalizing the music industry in the process. BTS, which is short for Bangtan Sonyeondan or 'bulletproof boyscouts,' debuted in 2013 under what was then a relatively small Korean music label, Big Hit Entertainment. The seven-member band, consisting of RM, Jin, Suga, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, released their first album '2 Cool 4 Skool' that year and by 2017 had entered the Billboard Hot 100 with their song 'DNA.' They were the first Korean band to accomplish this and it wasn't the last record they would break. Their first all-English single 'Dynamite' was released in 2020 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The multi-talented band just kept winning awards and breaking records, until they became the most popular k-pop band in the world. The fandom played an important role in that success. Fans made sure to vote for BTS during awards shows. In 2017 fans voted for the band to win Billboard Award for Top Social Artist, an award previously held for years by Justin Bieber, and then fans also lobbied radio stations to play BTS songs. Their efforts were so successful, the fandom went on to participate in fundraising efforts and social change activism. A fandom that's so connected can react very quickly. 'Forever We Are Young' reminds viewers why music can be magical. The film emphasizes that the diversity of the transnational fandom is its strength. Interviews include a range of fans of all ages and backgrounds, from musicians to scholars to filmmakers to video reactors. A few share emotional stories about how the band's music helped them. Some fans grew up with BTS and connected with their early struggles and hard work. Others gained strength from their positive lyrics, lyrics that spoke about defying the system and remaining true to yourself. Their songs of hope and defiance stressed the importance of individuality and perseverance. The fandom also allowed ARMY members to make friends around the world, friendships that survived the pandemic and the band's absence when all seven members had to fulfill the mandatory military duty required of able-bodied Korean males. Directors Lee and Ahn are both avid BTS fans, with a background in film and media. Lee directed and produced two episodes of the Peabody Award-winning Asian American series as well as And She Could Be Next, a series about women of color transforming politics and civic engagement, and The Grace Lee Project. Ahn is a professor of film and media studies at UC San Diego, In addition to shooting and working on independent documentary projects, Ahn teaches film and television theory and production courses on Asian and Asian/American media, television history, popular music and media activism. Forever We Are Young celebrates both the band and the magic of its global fandom. Even if you're not a k-pop or BTS fan, there's a lot to enjoy in this film, as it's about finding inspiration and joy, finding yourself in the music and, despite whatever obstacles you face, taking the time to dance. The film debuted at SXSW 2025 and will hit theaters on July 30.

Music Reviews: Justin Bieber, Wet Leg, and Clipse

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. 'Swag' by Justin Bieber ★★ "There's a solid album somewhere in Swag that's a slow-burn collection of hazy-day R&B," said Chris Kelly in The Washington Post. Unfortunately, Justin Bieber, at 31, can't help reminding us that his life has lately been a dramafest amplified by media attention. On one lighthearted interlude, he even samples his widely memed recent rebuke to photographers on his tail: "It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business." Bieber "can still deliver ooh-babies as well as anybody," as he does so here over "shuffling beatbox beats, gently weeping guitars, and warm-hug synthesizers." But it's "difficult to meet the music on its own terms" because of the star's insistence on foregrounding his celebrity woes. Like two of Bieber's previous albums, Swag "reveals the tender and quirky R&B singer he's always been at heart," said Mikael Wood in the Los Angeles Times. The difference is that Swag "feels much more improvisatory," borrowing from SZA the tactic of projecting the messiness of life by mixing in unpolished tracks, including a short voice memo of a "gorgeous" gospel ballad. Swag isn't a perfect album, but it's "shaggy, disarming, and often quite beautiful." 'Moisturizer' by Wet Leg ★★★ "Whatever party Wet Leg are heading to, it sounds like one worth crashing," said Rob Sheffield in Rolling Stone. On the band's second album, frontwomen Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers don't just defy the sophomore jinx. Four years after "Chaise Longue," the indie hit on which the pair "banged on their guitars and sneered hysterically cheeky one-liners about the moronic menfolk who cross their paths," they "prove they've been partying harder, caring less, and meeting sexier idiots." With the exception of a dud of a token ballad, this 12-song set "keeps everything fast and frisky." The track "Mangetout" isn't even a single yet, but it's "a damn-near perfect dance-punk summer jam." Impressively, Moisturizer is also more varied than the band's debut, said Bill Pearis in Brooklyn Vegan. "Teasdale can do the cheeky talky bits in her sleep, but she also belts it out, gets sweet and coquettish, lets her falsetto fly, and screams with the best of them," while the spotlight-shy Chambers steps up to sing two of the finest tracks. "Second albums from buzz bands used to line the used bins at record stores, but Moisturizer is a keeper." 'Let God Sort Em Out' by Clipse ★★★ Clipse hasn't put out an album in 16 years, yet "no rap duo since has captured their same dynamic energy," said Jordan Darville in The Fader. This comeback effort finds brothers Malice and Pusha T again achieving "effortless synchronicity" while changing their focus: Malice, who embraced Christianity in 2009 and renounced the duo's own glorification of their drug-dealing past, comes across here as "Jacob wrestling with the angel, reconciling his faith with his first earthly calling," and that drama becomes the album's emotional core. Fellow Virginia Beach native Pharrell Williams, "who has always felt like an honorary third member," produces and contributes vocals on four songs. But this is the brothers' show, and "it's their candor that makes the music impressive." No matter the subject, Clipse "delivers every bar with frigid, biting clarity," said Kiana Fitzgerald in Consequence. Spreading peace is not part of the brothers' agenda. Much of their new material enacts "a patient, methodical deconstruction of their contemporaries, foes, and detractors." Even so, they're "setting a top-notch example of what it means to age gracefully into your craft." Solve the daily Crossword
