See Ariana Grande's multiple Oscars outfits plus behind-the-scenes photos
Ariana Grande had not one, not two, but three outfit changes at the 2025 Oscars.
Grande, who earned a nod this year for best supporting actress for her role as Glinda in the Oscar-nominated film "Wicked," started off the night walking the red carpet in a jaw-dropping Schiaparelli Haute Couture tulle gown reminiscent of her character's approach to fashion.
Once inside, Grande reappeared for an Oscars opening performance in yet another dazzling gown, this time a red number with matching ruby red slippers, a la Dorothy Gale. Grande sang "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" before being joined by her co-star Cynthia Erivo for a medley that ended with "Defying Gravity" from "Wicked."

In behind-the-scenes photos from the evening, Grande mingled with "Wicked" co-star Ethan Slater and "The Substance" actress Demi Moore. In one photo, Grande appears in a third outfit: a black ensemble with an intricate neckline, her hair still in a ballerina bun.
In a post shared to her Instagram account on Sunday, Grande wrote, "i am floating with gratitude."

Sean Penn Reacts (30 Years Later) to Madonna Calling Him the Love of Her Life
In her 1991 documentary Truth or Dare, Madonna declared that Sean Penn was the love of her life. And more than three decades later, the actor is sharing his thoughts on it. In an interview on The Louis Theroux Podcast posted Monday (May 12), Penn said that his superstar ex-wife was 'very sweet' for her remarks in the Alek Keshishian-directed doc when asked whether he recalled what she'd said. 'I do,' he told Theroux. 'Look, she's been a good friend for a lot of years.'

After their divorce in 1989, the exes stayed friends. 'It didn't take us long to realize that we had mistaken a good first date for a wedding partner,' Penn said. 'It didn't take us long to recover after we got divorced, maybe a year, in a friendship. I have a lot of fond memories of it – it's not all jail.' The actor added: 'But there was a lot of alcohol and she'd be fairly accusing me of that.' Following her split from Penn, the 'Material Girl' singer would go on to marry Guy Ritchie in 2000 before they separated in 2008. Penn was married to Robin Wright from 1996 to 2010, followed by Leila George from 2020 to 2022. Penn's thoughts on the Truth or Dare documentary come just after a report that a long-awaited biopic about Madonna's life is finally in the works. According to Deadline, the star has teamed up with Shawn Levy for a Netflix limited series about her life and career. Madge is also currently working on new music with producer Stuart Price, who worked on her Billboard 200-topping 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor. It's been about six years since the 'Vogue' singer last dropped a proper album, releasing Madame X in 2019.

Jury deliberations begin in Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes retrial
NEW YORK (AP) — Jurors started deliberating Thursday in Harvey Weinstein 's New York sex crimes retrial, tasked with deciding — again — a case that encapsulated the #MeToo movement. The seven-woman, five-man jury is considering two counts of criminal sex act and one count of rape, each relating to a different accuser and a different date. In this case, the criminal sex act charge is the higher-degree felony. The jury got the case after a juror was replaced by an alternate after she couldn't come to court due to illness. Weinstein, 73, has pleaded not guilty. Nearly eight years ago, a series of sexual misconduct allegations against the Oscar-winning movie producer propelled the #MeToo movement. Some of those accusations later generated criminal charges and convictions in New York and California. The New York conviction from 2020 was subsequently overturned, leading to the retrial before a new jury and a different judge. Jurors heard more than five weeks of testimony, including lengthy and sometimes fiery questioning of Weinstein's three accusers in the case. Jessica Mann said he raped her in 2013, when she was trying to build an acting career. Miriam Haley accused him of forcibly performing oral sex on her in 2006, when she was looking for work in entertainment production. Kaja Sokola, who wasn't involved in Weinstein's first trial, told jurors that he forced oral sex on her, too, during 2006. At the time, she was a teenage fashion model trying to break into acting. 'They all had dreams of pursuing careers in the defendant's world, the entertainment industry,' prosecutor Nicole Blumberg told jurors in her closing argument Tuesday. She contended that Weinstein let the women think he was interested in their careers when what actually interested him were their bodies, and "he was going to have their bodies and touch their bodies whether they wanted him to or not.' Weinstein chose not to testify. His defense called other witnesses, including some former friends of Sokola's and Mann's. Weinstein's attorneys argued that all three accusers consented to Weinstein's advances because they wanted help with their Hollywood aims. All three stayed on friendly terms with him afterward, a point the defense emphasized. 'It's transactional, folks. Yes, he wants to fool around with them, and yes, they want something from him,' defense lawyer Arthur Aidala said in his summation Tuesday. The Associated Press generally does not identify people without their permission if they say they have been sexually assaulted. Sokola, Mann and Haley have agreed to be named.

In fiery 'Ballerina,' Ana de Armas is more than 'a female John Wick'
In fiery 'Ballerina,' Ana de Armas is more than 'a female John Wick' Show Caption Hide Caption 'Ballerina': Ana de Armas faces Keanu Reeves in 'John Wick' spinoff Ana de Armas plays a dancer-turned-assassin on a mission of revenge and Keanu Reeves makes an appearance as John Wick in the action movie "Ballerina." LAS VEGAS – Ana de Armas sobbed the first time she set a guy on fire. Her assassin character in the 'John Wick' franchise spinoff 'Ballerina' (in theaters June 6) uses all manner of weaponry when dealing with various villains, including a flamethrower. Before filming a rather fiery sequence, de Armas had a harrowing moment rehearsing with a stuntman where she felt the reality of the fiction they were creating. 'He's standing in front of me and I'm like, 'OK, easy. Just going to do it,' and, of course, he's performing,' de Armas recalls. 'But I dropped the thing and started crying because he is burning. It was not a good image. 'I had to unzip the (fireproof) onesie that they put on me and go for a walk. He came and showed me he was OK. But the first impression was really intense. I was not prepared for that. And then I burned like 106 people,' she adds with a proud smile. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox After "little tastes" of action in 'Ghosted' and 'The Gray Man,' plus one memorable sequence in the James Bond movie 'No Time to Die,' de Armas, 37, wanted more in her movie career. The Oscar-nominated actress got way more with 'Ballerina.' In the film, Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) is brought up as a dancer and killer in the criminal Ruska Roma organization after the tragic death of her father when she was a child. Eve is unleashed on the underworld, but when she discovers the cult that killed her dad, she goes rogue on a violent mission of vengeance that ultimately puts her at odds with Wick (Keanu Reeves) himself. 'This is a character with a very strong conviction, or you could say also she's very stubborn,' de Armas says of Eve. 'Most of the movie's about revenge, but then in the end, there's a beautiful twist about trying to change someone else's life.' Franchise regular Ian McShane sees the addition of de Armas to the 'Wick' world as 'a gift. She's lovely, she's talented and she can act. What more can you ask?' And Reeves loves watching her 'be heroic' as Eve, like John, fights powers beyond her control. 'It's cool to see Ana have that opportunity to have the John Wick challenge of 'Against all odds!' and 'Another kind of revenge!' ' he says. However, it was extremely important to both de Armas and director Len Wiseman that Eve not be 'a female John Wick.' The filmmaker wanted her to be dynamic but also deal with the fact that de Armas isn't going to look unstoppable going up against, say, a 6-foot-3 assassin. 'We wanted to play the reality. Unless she's thinking more clever about how that fight unfolds, she is going to get her ass kicked,' Wiseman says. 'You see action movies where a female lead is just plowing through all these huge dudes, and me as an audience member just loving action, I go, 'Really?' So I was glad that Ana's like, 'Oh, no. Yeah, I should get thrashed.' ' That meant coming up with a signature style for Eve: In the Ruska Roma, she's taught to 'fight like a girl,' which means she needs to adapt, to improvise and to cheat. 'We thought about that line a lot, and it's like, are people going to take it right?' de Armas says. In creating the character's action choreography, de Armas leaned into her disadvantages. 'I wanted every kick and every punch, and every time I get slammed against the wall or whatever's happening, it hurts,' the actress said. 'She gets tired and she's overwhelmed and they keep coming at her. And the only thing that keeps her going is the motivation that she has.' But Eve is also extremely crafty and can make any object dangerous. She uses dinner plates, forks and candleholders in brawls, duct tapes a knife to a gun (so she can stab one bad guy while shooting another in the face) and, in the super-cool flamethrower faceoff, does damage with a firehose. (Which needed no extra practice, for the record. 'That I did on the spot on the day,' de Armas reports.) Wiseman came up with one of de Armas' favorite off-the-wall weapons: an ice skate that Eve sticks her hand in and uses like a boxing glove on an enemy. 'That could either be really lame and stupid or really cool and brutal,' the director says. The actress recalls the pitch: 'I was like, 'What did you just say?' ' she says with a laugh. 'It was really crazy when he thought of it, but then it all made sense. It's painful to even watch it.' De Armas 'never imagined' that her acting career was going to take this action-packed path, she says, and with 'Ballerina,' she got what she asked for – and more. 'After going through this, I was pretty satisfied.'
