David Lynch Estate Auction Features Items From TWIN PEAKS, DUNE, and More
It's been several months now since we lost one of America's greatest filmmakers, David Lynch, at the age of 78. The world of film will never be the same without him. And soon, many of Lynch's personal items will go up for auction, which we've learned about via Gizmodo. For serious fans of Lynch's filmography like us, there are many items in this collection that we'd love to own. These gems are from his nearly 50-year career, with pieces from Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, Dune, and his first feature film, Eraserhead. You can check out some of the items from Julien's David Lynch auction, which goes live on June 18, below:

Some of the items in the David Lynch estate auction include the menus from Winkie's, the Denny's stand-in with a terrifying being that lives behind it in Mulholland Drive. There's Lynch's personal 35mm print of Eraserhead, the film that put him on the map. And there's quite a bit from the world of Twin Peaks. Lynch's original script from the series, when it was called Northwest Passage, as well as Fire Walk With Me, are among the auction items as well. The framed photo of the atomic bomb test that was in Gordon Cole's office in Twin Peaks: The Return? It was also part of Lynch's personal collection. Which is fitting, since he played Gordon Cole in the series.
One of the coolest items is Lynch's personal version of the red curtains and zigzag patterns, Twin Peaks' most iconic image. But the Holy Grail in this auction is Lynch's actual director's chair with his name on it. Whoever gets these, we honestly hope they donate them to a museum.
There are 444 lots in this auction, and some of them are just common household items, like coffee makers. But if you're a diehard David Lynch fan, you'd probably want a Lynch-owned coffee maker more than almost any other item in this auction.

Scientists Startled by Discovery of Small Star Swimming Through Outer Layers of Another Larger Star
A team of researchers in China have discovered a stunning binary system in which a stellar object known as a pulsar orbited inside the outer layers of its companion star — which it accomplished after stripping its host's innards and dispersing them into space. The findings, detailed in a new study published in the journal Science, are an incredibly rare example of a "spider star" that preys on its companion, so-named because of the female arachnids that devour males after mating. And tantalizingly, the grisly scene is some of the best evidence yet of a stage of stellar evolution called the common envelope phase, which has never been directly observed by astronomers. Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the incredibly dense stellar cores that are left over in the aftermath of a supernova. Everything about neutron stars exhaust superlatives — their gravity most of all. They are so tightly packed, containing more mass than our Sun inside a form just a dozen miles in radius, that all their atoms and their constituent protons and electrons have been crushed into neutrons, with just a teaspoon of this improbable matter weighing trillions of pounds. Their powerful magnetic fields, billions of times stronger than Earth's, unleash beams of radio waves into space along their poles. Further beggaring belief, some neutron stars become pulsars, which spin up to hundreds of times per second after siphoning material from a stellar companion, if it has one. Their sweeping beams of radiation, like cosmic lighthouses, look like a repeating signal to observers. The newly discovered pulsar, PSR J1928+1815, intrigued the astronomers because its radio pulses suggested that it was extremely close to its host, completing an orbit every 3.6 hours. They also noticed that for one-sixth of that orbit, the pulsar would vanish from view, indicating that the host was eclipsing it. "That's a large part of the orbit," coauthor Jin-Lin Han, a radio astronomer at the National Astronomical Observatories in Beijing, told Gizmodo. "That's strange, only a larger companion can do this." Over four and a half years, Han's team closely observed the system using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) in southern China, the largest and most powerful single-dish radio telescope in the world. Their observations revealed that the host star was between one to 1.6 times the mass of our Sun, while the pulsar was more likely 1.4 stellar masses. Determining the make of the host star, however, took some additional sleuthing. Its tight orbit and the fact that it was only detectable in radio wavelengths, Giz noted, ruled out its being a Sun-like star. And since it was large enough to eclipse the pulsar, it had to be something larger than a stellar remnant like another neutron star. That pointed to something altogether more spectacular: a helium star, created after the pulsar, when it was still an ordinary neutron star, tore off its host's layers and created a huge common envelope, a cloud of hydrogen gas that swallows both the stars. In this case, the poor star under attack managed to cling on to its evacuated innards for just 1,000 years — a blink in a stellar lifespan — before the whole, mighty envelope fell apart. Fleeting as it was, its impact is lasting: the friction exerted by the gases gradually nudged both stars closer together. Common envelopes are rare because the process of a neutron star stripping its companion, which causes it to spin and graduate to a pulsar, usually results in all the siphoned material being devoured. But if the companion is massive enough, much of it survives. The discovery marks the first spider star found orbiting a helium star. While the astronomers didn't get to witness the envelope in action, this is some of the most convincing evidence to date that this long-theorized stage of stellar evolution exists. In all, the team estimates that there're just 16 to 84 star systems like this one in the entire Milky Way — and, against all odds, we got to see one.

I Didn't Expect Florence Pugh's Next Role To Be A Nurse In A Yungblud Music Video, But I'm So Here For The Sweet Reactions Its Getting From Healthcare Workers
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As of late, Florence Pugh has become a blockbuster star, between her role as Yelena Belova in new Marvel movies, including the recent release of Thunderbolts* and being officially in the cast for Avengers: Doomsday, and she's also set to reprise her Dune role in Messiah the same weekend. So I wasn't expecting to see her as the star of a music video on a random Friday, but she proved she can make us cry in a role that last about four minutes, too. Yungblud is a British pop punk star who has been on the music scene since around 2018, but I think he can officially say he's made it now that he has Florence Pugh in one of his music videos. Check out the new video for 'Zombie': Wow, I totally understand why Florence Pugh not only signed on for this, but was thought about for 'Zombie.' It's not your average video starring a famous actress as a nurse; it's really taking viewers into the mindset of what it feels like to be a healthcare worker day by day, and how harrowing it can be to see so much death all the time. While we'd assume when Yungblud made the song that he was thinking about his own experiences with 'looking like a zombie,' he gave a new meaning to the song on his upcoming album called 'Zombie' by making it about a young nurse just trying to get through the day. Upon the release of 'Zombie,' the music video has been labeled as a 'love letter to nurses.' In Pugh's own commentary on the video on her Instagram Stories, she thanked the punk star for having her 'on your journey.' She said she will 'always be grateful for this moment and forever impressed' by what he does and 'why' he does it. The comment section of the Instagram announcement video is also flooded with healthcare workers thanking Yungblud and Pugh for making the video. Check out some of them: 'As a Healthcare worker. THIS is a true representation of our daily struggles. We laugh. We cry. We scream. What a beautiful video and anthem. Thank you Dom.' - @thejennorater 'As a healthcare worker who worked in critical care during the pandemic and witnessed so much death. Thank you for this. It truly hit home. Ugly crying by how beautiful this was.' - @missgio_ 'As an icu nurse, I felt every scene! Thank you 🖤💋' - @ 'As a nurse, thank you ❤️ This is a beautiful song and video.' - @katherinefruendt 'This video really highlights the intense ups and downs with being a nurse. As a nurse, thank you, this was lovely to watch 🥹🤍' - @adellaturay 'As a nurse this makes me feel so seen and appreciated🥹🖤 I love you so much, thank you🖤' - @ Sure, Florence Pugh is a lot more likely to show up in a sparkly dress on her usual day to day, but her talent to make us feel deeply is already touching so many who can relate to the content of the video. Pugh has already made us cry for her Thunderbolts role and playing a young mom with cancer in We Live In Time, and this new role for 'Zombie' is another great performance from Ms. Pugh.

Timothée Chalamet 'Mauled' By Fans After Knicks Take Down Celtics At MSG
got swarmed by fans on Thursday night, and no, it wasn't for a movie premiere. The 'Dune' star found himself in the middle of some serious NYC chaos after the Knicks pulled off a jaw-dropping 119-81 win over the Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The electric victory sent the team to its first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years, and fans took to the streets in droves to celebrate. Caught in the madness? Timothée Chalamet himself. In a now-viral clip making the rounds on social media, the Oscar nominee was seen leaning out the window of his car, beaming with excitement, when he was suddenly grabbed by a fan in what looked like a mix between a hug and a headlock. 'Timothée Chalamet getting mauled by Knicks fans,' one fan captioned the video. But that didn't stop him from soaking in the moment. The actor looked just as hyped as the rest of NYC, and even got in on the celebration, flashing a smile as he embraced the wild energy around him. Chalamet wasn't the only celeb courtside at Madison Square Garden. He was spotted sitting next to , while and girlfriend , who, by the way, are now living together, were also seen cheesing for the cameras. Other A-listers in attendance included , Jon Stewart, , and the always-animated . Off the court, Chalamet's love life is making just as many headlines. After months of speculation, Timothée and finally confirmed their romance with a stunning red-carpet debut, not at the Met Gala as many predicted, but just two days later at a photocall in Rome for the 70th David Di Donatello Awards at Cinecittà Studios on May 7. Dressed in coordinating black ensembles, the duo looked effortlessly chic and totally smitten. The two then attended Coachella, which is when a source told PEOPLE that the couple is 'very serious.' "They are making it work," the insider shared of their busy schedules. "Kylie is truly his biggest fan. She would clear her schedule to attend awards and premieres with him. She couldn't be more supportive of his career." Earlier this month, insiders revealed that Chalamet and Jenner are still going strong nearly two years into their relationship, and that part of their success comes down to one thing. Privacy. A source told Daily Mail that the couple has made a conscious effort to keep their romance away from the cameras, especially when it comes to Jenner's reality TV empire. 'Timothée has drawn a firm line when it comes to Jenner's reality TV world,' the insider said. But just because they're keeping things private doesn't mean it's not serious. In fact, The Blast reported back in March that Chalamet allegedly dropped $300,000 on a diamond ring, believed to be an engagement ring for Jenner. According to sources, the 'A Complete Unknown' star has been 'quietly planning his proposal for a couple of months,' reportedly browsing luxury jewelers in New York and Paris before selecting the perfect custom piece from a high-end Parisian designer. 'The ring, made by the Parisian designer, is incredibly special and will take six weeks to complete,' a source shared. 'He's ready to get engaged and envisions a long, happy future with Kylie.' Another insider added, 'I have never seen him so happy. He has been telling us for a while now how deeply in love he is.' The couple is also rumored to be eyeing luxury properties in Milan and Paris, fueling speculation that a major life step, or even a European relocation, could be on the horizon. From potential proposals to nearly getting tackled by Knicks fans, Timothée Chalamet is having one very memorable spring.
