Arnold Schwarzenegger Surprises Fans By Naming the Worst 'Terminator' Movie
Arnold Schwarzenegger Surprises Fans By Naming the Worst 'Terminator' Movie originally appeared on Parade. As with any mainstream action franchise, the Terminator series is comprised of an odd mix between groundbreaking sci-fi films and egregiously bland schlockfests. Though often recognized as one of the most revolutionary big-budget franchises in cinematic history, the once popular Terminator series has long since fallen on hard times, thanks in large part to lesser and lesser sequels following the critical heights of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. As further evidence of Terminator's more recent middling quality, the iconic lead actor of the franchise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, has similarly weighed in on the series' dramatic fall from grace. Appearing on a recent installment of Watch What Happens Live, the iconic 77-year-old actor was asked which Terminator film he feels is the weakest in the franchise. Instead of offering a diplomatic answer or shying away from the question, the Conan the Barbarian star offered a fairly blunt response to the query. "I would say the worst was probably the number four [Terminator Salvation], because that was done during the time I was governor [of California] and I was not in it," the Twins actor said. "How do you do a Terminator movie without me being in the Terminator movie?" Schwarzenegger continued. "It doesn't make any sense." Released in 2009, Terminator Salavation jumped ahead in the series' narrative timeline, focusing on the post-apocalyptic between John Connor's (Christian Bale) human Resistance and the cybernetic armies of SkyNet. Starring Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin and Bryce Dallas Howard, the film earned mostly mixed to negative reviews, halting any plans for an immediate sequel. Ultimately, following Schwarzenegger's tenure as California's governor and his formal return to acting, the series continued with 2015's next installment, Terminator Genisys, which marked the actor's first time portraying his infamous T-800 since 2003's Terminator: Rise of the Machines. The film, like its later retconned sequel Terminator: Dark Fate, both earned similarly mixed reviews upon its release. Arnold Schwarzenegger Surprises Fans By Naming the Worst 'Terminator' Movie first appeared on Parade on Jun 26, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 26, 2025, where it first appeared.

Selena Gomez's First Celeb Crush Was A Rapper, Explains 'Weird' Reason Why
is no stranger to crush-worthy headlines, but in a recent sit-down, the pop sensation revealed a childhood crush that caught everyone off guard. The "Only Murders in the Building" star's unexpected confession brings a fun twist to her romantic history, which includes several headline-making relationships. Selena Gomez has dated several celebs in the past, including and , before finding love with The 32-year-old Texas native opened up about her earliest favorites in music and confessed that her first-ever celebrity crush was none other than 'I had the biggest crush on him when I was like five,' Gomez admitted to Karol G on Complex's 'GOAT Talk' with a laugh. 'It's so weird, but I just thought he would protect me.' The revelation visibly stunned Karol G, who responded with an enthusiastic, 'My God! He's amazing!' Before dropping that bombshell, Gomez also shared that was one of her favorite rappers growing up, something she credits to her father, who worked as a DJ. 'Every time it was an Eminem song, I would just get so excited,' she recalled. Meanwhile, Karol G shared that Eminem was her childhood favorite as well, while currently tops her list. Selena Gomez's love life has often been in the spotlight, thanks in part to her A-list status and the high-profile nature of many of her romances. From Disney Channel flings to decade-defining drama, the singer and actress has had her fair share of headline-making relationships. One of Gomez's earliest public relationships was with fellow teen idol Nick Jonas. The pair dated during the height of Jonas Brothers mania, capturing the hearts of Disney fans everywhere. Although their romance was brief, it did stir up some tension at the time with , who also dated Jonas. The following year, while filming in Vancouver, Gomez struck up a short-lived romance with "Twilight" star . Although their schedules soon pulled them apart, the relationship remained drama-free. In later interviews, Gomez spoke fondly of Lautner, calling him 'so sweet.' Perhaps Gomez's most well-known and emotionally complex relationship was with pop superstar Justin Bieber. The two began dating in 2010 and endured an on-again, off-again saga for nearly eight years. Their ups and downs were closely followed by fans and media alike, and both artists later released songs that seemed to reflect on their time together. Gomez's emotional ballad 'Lose You to Love Me' is widely believed to be inspired by their breakup. In early 2017, Gomez began dating singer (born Abel Tesfaye). The two made several public appearances together, including a glamorous showing at the Met Gala, and even moved in together temporarily. However, the relationship ended amicably after about 10 months, just before Gomez briefly reconnected with Bieber. In 2023, Gomez was linked to former One Direction member after the two were reportedly spotted dining together in New York City. Though fans were quick to speculate, neither Gomez nor Malik confirmed the relationship, and the rumors eventually fizzled out. Rumors began swirling in late 2023 when fans noticed flirty Instagram interactions and Blanco's involvement in Gomez's music projects. Notably, Blanco was a co-producer on her 2023 single "Single Soon", which many now see as a cheeky hint at their blossoming romance. After weeks of speculation, Selena confirmed the relationship in the comments of a fan post on Instagram. She not only defended Blanco from online hate but declared, 'He's the best thing that's ever happened to me.' The confirmation was unexpected, especially considering how private Gomez had been about previous relationships, but it marked a turning point. This time, she was proud to share her love. Since going public, Selena and Benny haven't shied away from showing affection online. From sweet selfies to public comments like 'I love you' and 'You make me so happy,' the couple has embraced a playful, unfiltered vibe. One year after confirming their relationship, Selena and Benny got engaged. From teenage heartbreak to mature romance, Selena Gomez's relationship journey has mirrored her personal and artistic evolution, full of lessons, growth, and tabloid frenzy.

Anna Wintour leaving Vogue as editor-in-chief: Her most memorable career moments
Anna Wintour doesn't break news, she makes it. After nearly four decades at the helm of Vogue magazine, the editor-in-chief revealed her biggest news yet on Thursday, June 26: She will step down from her top editor role at the outlet by the year's end. Known for her stern management style and iconic A-frame bob, she has revolutionized fashion and modernized Vogue with a keen eye for emerging designers and a disdain for existing trends. Her name has become synonymous with the luxury fashion outlet – more visible than any other fashion editor in history – by producing risky covers and controversial spreads featuring Beyoncé, LeBron James, Simone Biles, former first lady Michelle Obama and A-list ex-couple Ye and Kim Kardashian. Anna Wintour stepping down as Vogue editor-in-chief in major fashion industry shift Wintour will stay on as chief content officer at Condé Nast, the magazine's parent company, and as Vogue's global editorial director. WWD and Business of Fashion also confirmed the news. As the style icon, 75, steps down this year, here is a look at the iconic moments that cemented her in fashion history. How long has Anna Wintour been at Vogue? Since her start at Vogue in 1988, Wintour has become synonymous with the high fashion scene, sitting stoically in the front row of New York Fashion Week shows, helming the Met Gala and presiding over the glossy pages of a magazine largely considered the "fashion bible." Young Anna Wintour's 1988 first cover of American Vogue Wintour's first cover as editor-in-chief is arguably one of her most edgy and experimental. For the cover shoot, Israeli model Michaela Bercu paired stonewashed Guess jean and a haute couture Christian Lacroix jacket adorned with a beaded cross. Wintour later said the look was "all very 'Like a Prayer'" in the vein of pop star Madonna's 1980s and early '90s religions-inspired era. People had mixed reactions to the shoot, Wintour later wrote in a 2012 essay: "Afterwards, in the way that these things can happen, people applied all sorts of interpretations: It was about mixing high and low, Michaela was pregnant, it was a religious statement. But none of these things was true." A post shared by FASHION ARCHIVE (@versacediary) A look at Anna Wintour's kids and if they followed in her fashion footsteps But Wintour had a simpler explanation: "I had just looked at that picture and sensed the winds of change. And you can't ask for more from a cover image than that." 1995: Anna Wintour chairs her first Met Gala The Met Gala started in 1948 as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, but under Wintour's more than three decades of leadership, it transformed into one of the world's most prestigious fashion events. Justin Bieber apologizes for telling wife Hailey she'd 'never be on the cover' of Vogue Wintour began co-chairing the fundraiser in 1995, wearing a floor-length, halter neck ivory gown that year to the "Haute Couture" themed event. She later went on to change the date of the gala from December to the first Monday in May each year, and, according to Vogue, tailored the guest list to include only the biggest stars in fashion, entertainment, sports and politics. 2003: Anna Wintour reportedly inspires 'Devil Wears Prada' When Lauren Weisberger's bestselling book, "The Devil Wears Prada" hit shelves in 2003, and then movie screens in 2006, it introduced Wintour to an entirely new audience and turned her into an icon. The story is based on Weisberger's experience as an assistant to Wintour at Vogue. Fans have long compared Wintor to Miranda Priestly, the icy, no-boundaries boss, played by Meryl Streep in the movie adaptation. Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé in these 10 bingeable memoirs But the magazine giant didn't speak about those rumors until more than two decades later, when, at a musical adaption of the book in London, Wintour told the BBC it was "for the audience and for the people I work with to decide if there are any similarities between me and Miranda Priestly." 2014: Anna Wintour gives Kim Kardashian gift of a lifetime with Vogue cover In present day, Kim Kardashian is a fashion icon in her own right. But in 2014, just over a decade ago, Wintour garnered backlash by granting the then-"Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star a Vogue cover with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West. Ye and Kardashian appeared in a bridal embrace on the April cover that year, with Kardashian's 15-carat diamond engagement ring in full view. Inside were family photos of the pair and their eldest daughter, North West, taken by famed photographer and Wintour favorite Annie Leibovitz. Under the embrace were the hashtagged words: #WORLDSMOSTTALKEDABOUTCOUPLE. A post shared by TeamKanyeDaily (@teamkanyedaily) Met Gala, Anna Wintour honored Black men in fashion. The truth is far more complicated. Wintour's choice garnered backlash and simultaneously cemented Kardashian as a burgeoning star in the fashion world. Later, far more luxury brands began to work with Kardashian and her now-annual appearances at the A-list heavy Met Gala are among the most anticipated each year. 2017: Anna Wintour becomes a dame The editor-in-chief and fashion icon was given a new title in 2017 by Queen Elizabeth II – a Dame Commander of the British Empire, the female equivalent of a knighthood. Who is Anna Wintour? What to know about longtime Vogue chief Wintour received the honor at Buckingham Palace, wearing a pink belted Chanel coat and her classic sunglasses, for her service to journalism and fashion. Wintour was born in London and briefly led British Vogue. Vogue editor earns top honor: Anna Wintour receives Presidential Medal of Freedom 2025: Anna Wintour Medal of Freedom honor In January, Wintour joined designer Ralph Lauren, chef José Andrés, Irish singer and U2 frontman Bono, "Back to the Future" star Michael J. Fox, Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington and TV personality Bill Nye to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom from then-President Joe Biden. Contributing: Anna Kaufman
