Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts Reunite for Son Sasha's High School Graduation in New Photos of the Blended Family
Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts are celebrating their graduate! On Thursday, June 5, the former couple reunited to celebrate their 17-year-old son Sasha's high school graduation. In one photo posted to Schreiber's Instagram, Watts could be seen wearing a multicolor maxi dress and straw hat, posing next to Sasha and her husband, Billy Crudup. On Sasha's other side, Schreiber stands next to his son with a film camera around his neck, posing alongside his wife, Taylor Neisen. Sasha stands in the middle, wearing a gray suit and tan shoes. "The graduate!!!" Schreiber wrote in his caption. Watts also included a similar photo on her Instagram Stories, adding a sticker that read, "Congrats!" Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Alongside Sasha, the two also share daughter Kai, 16. Schreiber is also dad to daughter Hazel Bee, 20 months. Back in May, Watts shared photos and videos of her son Sasha on her Instagram Stories all dressed up and ready to go to his high school prom. In one snap, Watts and Schreiber posed together for a selfie with their son, who wore a dark suit and boutonniere, in the middle. Other pictures and clips showed the teenager with some of his fellow prom-goers and a large shot of the entire class celebrating the momentous occasion. The former couple ended their 11-year relationship in 2016. Since then, Watts and Schreiber have been open about remaining friends and putting their children first. 'We're doing things very differently. I'm pretty proud of us, corny as that may sound,' Watts told Net-a-Porter in August 2019. 'We've made it our absolute priority to be good and kind to each other and we're absolutely committed to that.' On March 6, PEOPLE caught up with the Perfect Couple actor at the Cirque Du Soleil New York City premiere of Luzia, where he was joined by his son. When asked how it felt to be walking carpets with his eldest, Schreiber admitted it's an adjustment process. 'It's strange,' the X-Men star told PEOPLE. 'I felt a little self-conscious walking into the circus with him because, like, it's the kind of thing you do with your kid.' Schreiber added, 'He doesn't feel like my kid anymore. He feels like a man now, so, it's a whole different thing for us.' Read the original article on People

This play isn't really about LeBron James
We should all be thankful for sports. It's the best antidote to small talk, allowing strangers to skip past all that awkward do-we-really-have-to-get-to-know-each-other energy and cut through to what's really important. Like, who was the better '80s NBA point gawd: Mark Price or Isiah Thomas? That debate — and really, a debate that exists only in the warped mind of a Cleveland Cavaliers' die-hard fan — helps two Northeast Ohio males navigate their first encounter in the play 'King James.'

Disneyland 70th Anniversary Everything New At The Park And Worth Doing
Hi, everyone! We're Brian and Crystal, and we're massive fans of all things Disney, but especially the Disney parks. So when Disney invited us to join them for the celebration for Disneyland's 70th anniversary, we practically zipped down Main Street, U.S.A. faster than you can say "bibbidy-bobbidy-boo." From a dazzling new projection show to the return of a fan-favorite parade, we got to check out what The Happiest Place on Earth has going on for its milestone anniversary. Now, in case you're wondering, the 70th anniversary celebration is just getting started! The celebration runs all the way through summer 2026, with Disneyland's big birthday bash happening on July 17. Okay, now let's get to what you clicked into this post for: The new things coming to the park and our thoughts! Food, glorious food! Yep, there's a whole lineup of new treats and eats to celebrate Disneyland's 70th anniversary. We tried a bunch of them (for research, of course) — and you can check out our full review right here. Spoiler alert: both Crystal and I agree that the Dole Whip Pineapple Bundt Cake is a standout that you shouldn't miss!!! "The Celebrate Happy Cavalcade," a brand new, twice-daily mini-parade that features Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Pluto, and lots of other Disney characters dancing along the parade route. The cavalcade is cute and just the right amount of high energy to get us into the spirit. But the real showstoppers? Duffy and ShellieMay! If you're not familiar, they're two ultra-cute teddy bear characters who are massive celebrities at the Asian Disney Parks — we're talking longer photo lines than Mickey levels of fame. They're a rare sight Stateside, so spotting them in the cavalcade felt like a delightful little Disney Easter egg. Another new addition for the 70th anniversary is "Tapestry of Happiness," a whimsical nighttime projection show that is displayed on the facade of It's a Small World. Illustrated in the iconic style of Disney legend Mary Blair, the show is a wonderful tribute to the park's past and present. Woven together through vibrant visuals, the show incorporates beloved characters, classic attractions, and even a few long-lost favorites from throughout the park's seven-decade history. I think we both thought the show, while short (at just 5 minutes), was a standout and worth lining up for (especially if you're a Disneyland fan because it's full of little Easter eggs). You can watch the show here if you're curious. Returning for the 70th is the "Paint the Night Parade," which, if you don't know what it is, the best way I can describe it is a very souped-up "Main Street Electrical Parade." The parade was first introduced at Disneyland for its 60th anniversary, and since then, it has only been revived a handful of times. Even if parades aren't usually your thing, this one's totally worth a watch because it's a visual feast of colors and lights, with truly impressive large floats. Plus, it's at night, so you don't have to wait in the sun! Also returning for the 70th anniversary celebration is the "Wondrous Journeys" nighttime spectacular. A fireworks and projection show that originally debuted in 2023 as part of the Disney100 celebration. If you haven't seen it, the show is a tribute to Walt Disney Animation and features scenes and characters from every animated film from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Wish. So, yup, no Pixar or live-action movies are featured in it. We'd both seen it before and were thrilled to see it make a comeback — it's easily one of the best fireworks and projection shows Disneyland's done in a while, especially when it comes to storytelling. And if staking out a spot on Main Street, U.S.A. isn't your vibe, good news: you can catch the projections over at Rivers of America or on the facade of It's a Small World for a more low-key (but still magical) viewing experience. The Disneyland Resort's 70th celebration is already going strong, with plenty of magic happening ahead of the big anniversary on July 17 and throughout the next year. Want in on the fun?
