‘Sorry, Baby': When bad things happen to smart women
Twin moods — comfort and dread, resilience and paralysis, rage and sorrow — animate a film that finds Agnes in the throes of recovery from what she'll only call 'a bad thing that happened to me.' Although Victor scrambles time in a way that makes the bad thing a big reveal, most viewers will understand its broad contours within minutes. The act itself isn't the point in 'Sorry, Baby': Victor's central concern is the aftermath, with all its ripple effects and recriminations, grim reminders of just how common bad things are in nearly every woman's life, and how nearly every woman's life is made up of countless acts of getting on with it that will never be recognized as examples of unimaginable courage.

Keanu Reeves' Stolen Watches, Valued At $125,000, Recovered In Santiago
A valuable – monetarily and sentimentally – stash of as many as six stolen watches belonging to actor Keanu Reeves has been recovered by Chilean authorities in Santiago and turned over to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI will arrange for their return to the John Wick actor. Reeves reportedly has identified the watches as his.

Concert Next Week Where To Watch All The 'John Wick' Movies: Streamers That Have All Four Films The watches, including a $9,000 Rolex, were stolen from Reeves' Hollywood Hills home in December 2023. The burglars, who disabled the home's alarm system before climbing through a window, are thought to be responsible for a string of high-profile thefts in the area and more than one at Reeves' home. According to Chilean police, the watches were among a stash of stolen loot recovered recently in a series of raids on a Santiago crime ring. The FBI assisted in the operation. A 21-year-old man has been arrested in Chile for the theft. The $125,000 value of the watches was confirmed by Marcelo Varas of Chile's robbery investigation squad. At the time of the theft, Reeves said he particularly lamented the theft of the Rolex Submariner watch that was one of five engraved with 'JW4' – the other four were gifted to his stuntmen on John Wick: Chapter 4 as a wrap gift. The announcement of the recovered watches was made as Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, arrived in Chile to speak with law enforcement officials about transnational crime.

Justin Timberlake's *NSYNC Bandmate Shows Support After Lyme Disease Reveal: ‘That's Superhero Status'
Chris Kirkpatrick says his *NSYNC bandmate Justin Timberlake 'showed me a whole new level of strength' in the wake of Timberlake's announcement that he has Lyme disease on Thursday (July 31). Kirkpatrick took to Instagram to show support for Timberlake, who struggled with Lyme disease on his recent Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which closed out last night.

'The long days, the travel, the exhaustion — and yet, he never gave up. No complaints, no excuses — just heart, grit, and pure determination.' Kirkpatrick added about Timberlake, 'That kind of resilience is rare.' In a vulnerable Instagram post Thursday (July 31), Timberlake shared photos from his time on the road and wrote, 'As I'm reflecting on the tour and festival tour — I want to tell you a little bit about what's going on with me.' Timberlake went on to announce, 'Among other things, I've been battling some health issues, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease — which I don't say so you feel bad for me — but to shed some light on what I've been up against behind the scenes.' 'If you've experienced this disease or know someone who has — then you're aware: living with this can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically,' he continued. 'When I first got the diagnosis I was shocked for sure. But, at least I could understand why I would be onstage and in a massive amount of nerve pain or, just feeling crazy fatigue or sickness. I was faced with a personal decision. Stop touring? Or, keep going and figure it out. I decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going.' Continuing his support, Kirkpatrick wrote: 'I couldn't be more proud to call him my friend. Tour life is already a grind, but doing it while fighting Lyme disease? That's superhero status.' Kirkpatrick concluded his post with, 'Here's to strength, perseverance, and one hell of a tour. Love you little bro.' Timberlake isn't the first musician who's publicly shared his Lyme diagnosis, with Shania Twain, Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber and more stars also previously speaking about their struggles with the illness.
