'Fantastic Four' wins battle of heroes at N. America box office

"The Fantastic Four: First Steps," Disney's hotly anticipated reboot of the Marvel Comics superhero franchise, conquered the North American weekend box office, earning $118 million and sidelining "Superman," industry estimates showed Sunday. "Fantastic Four" -- starring actor-of-the-moment Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Emmy winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Joseph Quinn ("Stranger Things') -- tells the story of a team of heroes trying to save a retro-futuristic world from the evil Galactus. "This is an outstanding opening," said David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. "'Fantastic Four' was a modest and struggling superhero series; it just caught up with the biggest and the best." "Superman," the latest big-budget action film featuring the iconic superhero from Warner Bros. and DC Studios, slipped to second place at $24.9 million, Exhibitor Relations said. That puts the global take of the film, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel, over the $500 million mark. "Jurassic World: Rebirth" -- the latest installment in the blockbuster dinosaur saga -- finished in third place at $13 million. Its worldwide total stands at $672.5 million. The Universal film, starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, takes viewers to an abandoned island research facility, where secrets -- and genetically mutated dinosaurs -- are lurking. "F1: The Movie," the Apple and Warner Bros. flick starring Brad Pitt as a washed-up Formula One driver who gets one last shot at redemption, moved up to fourth place at $6.2 million. "Smurfs," the latest film featuring the adorable blue creatures and starring Rihanna as Smurfette, slipped to fifth place in only its second week in theaters with $5.4 million in North American ticket sales. "The box office is on an excellent run that started two weeks ago," Gross said. "These are not the good old days, but 'Fantastic Four' and 'Superman' are performing extremely well. Superheroes are showing some swagger, and it's good news for the industry." Rounding out the top 10 were: "I Know What You Did Last Summer" ($5.1 million) "How to Train Your Dragon" ($2.8 million) "Eddington" ($1.7 million) "Saiyaara" ($1.3 million) "Oh, Hi!"

Tom Lehrer, song satirist and mathematician, dies at 97

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tom Lehrer, the popular song satirist who lampooned marriage, politics, racism and the Cold War, then largely abandoned his music career to return to teaching math at Harvard and other universities, has died. He was 97. Longtime friend David Herder said Lehrer died Saturday at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He did not specify a cause of death. Lehrer had remained on the math faculty of the University of California at Santa Cruz well into his late 70s. In 2020, he even turned away from his own copyright, granting the public permission to use his lyrics in any format, without any fee in return. A Harvard prodigy (he had earned a math degree from the institution at age 18), Lehrer soon turned his very sharp mind to old traditions and current events. His songs included 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park,' 'The Old Dope Peddler' (set to a tune reminiscent of 'The Old Lamplighter'), 'Be Prepared' (in which he mocked the Boy Scouts) and 'The Vatican Rag,' in which Lehrer, an atheist, poked at the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church. (Sample lyrics: 'Get down on your knees, fiddle with your rosaries. Bow your head with great respect, and genuflect, genuflect, genuflect.') Accompanying himself on piano, he performed the songs in a colorful style reminiscent of such musical heroes as Gilbert and Sullivan and Stephen Sondheim, the latter a lifelong friend. Lehrer was often likened to such contemporaries as Allen Sherman and Stan Freberg for his comic riffs on culture and politics and he was cited by Randy Newman and 'Weird Al' Jankovic among others as an influence. He mocked the forms of music he didn't like (modern folk songs, rock 'n' roll and modern jazz), laughed at the threat of nuclear annihilation and denounced discrimination. But he attacked in such an erudite, even polite, manner that almost no one objected. 'Tom Lehrer is the most brilliant song satirist ever recorded,' musicologist Barry Hansen once said. Hansen co-produced the 2000 boxed set of Lehrer's songs, 'The Remains of Tom Lehrer,' and had featured Lehrer's music for decades on his syndicated 'Dr. Demento' radio show. Lehrer's body of work was actually quite small, amounting to about three dozen songs. 'When I got a funny idea for a song, I wrote it. And if I didn't, I didn't,' Lehrer told The Associated Press in 2000 during a rare interview. 'I wasn't like a real writer who would sit down and put a piece of paper in the typewriter. And when I quit writing, I just quit. ... It wasn't like I had writer's block.' He'd gotten into performing accidentally when he began to compose songs in the early 1950s to amuse his friends. Soon he was performing them at coffeehouses around Cambridge, Massachusetts, while he remained at Harvard to teach and obtain a master's degree in math. He cut his first record in 1953, 'Songs by Tom Lehrer,' which included 'I Wanna Go Back to Dixie,' lampooning the attitudes of the Old South, and the 'Fight Fiercely, Harvard,' suggesting how a prissy Harvard blueblood might sing a football fight song. After a two-year stint in the Army, Lehrer began to perform concerts of his material in venues around the world. In 1959, he released another LP called 'More of Tom Lehrer' and a live recording called 'An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer,' nominated for a Grammy for best comedy performance (musical) in 1960. But around the same time, he largely quit touring and returned to teaching math, though he did some writing and performing on the side. Lehrer said he was never comfortable appearing in public. 'I enjoyed it up to a point,' he told The AP in 2000. 'But to me, going out and performing the concert every night when it was all available on record would be like a novelist going out and reading his novel every night.' He did produce a political satire song each week for the 1964 television show 'That Was the Week That Was,' a groundbreaking topical comedy show that anticipated 'Saturday Night Live' a decade later. He released the songs the following year in an album titled 'That Was the Year That Was.' The material included 'Who's Next?' ponders which government will be the next to get the nuclear bomb ... perhaps Alabama? (He didn't need to tell his listeners that it was a bastion of segregation at the time.) 'Pollution' takes a look at the then-new concept that perhaps rivers and lakes should be cleaned up. He also wrote songs for the 1970s educational children's show 'The Electric Company.' He told AP in 2000 that hearing from people who had benefited from them gave him far more satisfaction than praise for any of his satirical works. His songs were revived in the 1980 musical revue 'Tomfoolery' and he made a rare public appearance in London in 1998 at a celebration honoring that musical's producer, Cameron Mackintosh. Lehrer was born in 1928, in New York City, the son of a successful necktie designer. He recalled an idyllic childhood on Manhattan's Upper West Side that included attending Broadway shows with his family and walking through Central Park day or night. After skipping two grades in school, he entered Harvard at 15 and, after receiving his master's degree, he spent several years unsuccessfully pursuing a doctorate. 'I spent many, many years satisfying all the requirements, as many years as possible, and I started on the thesis,' he once said. 'But I just wanted to be a grad student, it's a wonderful life. That's what I wanted to be, and unfortunately, you can't be a Ph.D. and a grad student at the same time.' He began to teach part-time at Santa Cruz in the 1970s, mainly to escape the harsh New England winters. From time to time, he acknowledged, a student would enroll in one of his classes based on knowledge of his songs. 'But it's a real math class,' he said at the time. 'I don't do any funny theorems. So those people go away pretty quickly.' ___ Former Associated Press writer John Rogers contributed to this story. Rogrers retired from The AP in 2021.

All the Celebrities Who Welcomed Babies in 2025

Last year was incredibly special for a lot of celebrity families. Many of them announced that they had babies on the way, and even more welcomed said bundles of joy! Now, in 2025, there are so many A-listers who have added little ones to their families. If the past couple of years are any indication, we have no doubt that there will be families entering the Two Under Two, babies adopted, and babies who are a complete surprise to the world. (Remember when Paris Hilton shocked fans twice in 2023, quietly welcoming both a son and a daughter.) We're sure there will be rainbow babies who are born, we have no doubt unique baby names will be given, and we'd even venture to guess there will be a home birth or two (planned or otherwise). No matter how or when these little bébés arrive, we can't wait to 'meet' them. (Even if that 'meeting' is just seeing a black-and-white photo of their little tootsies or teeny hand.)

She might not be a professional soccer player anymore, but we're sure Morgan will still look to surround Charlie and Enzo with 'really strong and resilient women.' Erin Lichy & Abe Lichy Real Housewives of New York City star Erin Lichy and Abe Lichy welcomed their fourth child, a son named Jack. They shared the news on Instagram with a photo of the mother-son duo with the caption reading, 'Jack Hunter Lichy 💙 #CrazyInLove.'

The announcement included three heartfelt black-and-white photos of the new parents and little Oscar. Sia Sia shocked fans in March 2025 when news broke that she secretly welcomed a child with her estranged husband Dan Bernad, per People. Baby Somersault Wonder Bernard joins Sia's two sons who she adopted after being moved by a 2016 documentary about the foster care system. A couple of years later, she found a teenage boy featured in the documentary and decided to adopt him. He asked if his 'cousin Che' from his group home could join. 'I had two spare bedrooms, so I said, 'Sure!'' the singer reportedly said. TJ Watt & Dani Watt Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end TJ Watt and his wife Dani welcomed their first child in early 2025. It's possible that baby Blakely Marie Watt was born after her due date since Dani captioned the March announcement, 'Worth The Wait.' When Dani announced her pregnancy back in September, she said Baby Watt would be here in February. 'Welcome to the world Blakely!!!!!' T.J.'s brother J.J. Watt commented. The little girl will have two baby cousins this year since both J.J. Watt and brother Derek Watt are expecting. Elon Musk & Shivon Zillis Elon Musk and Shivon Zillis have welcomed a fourth child together. 'Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia's birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus,' Zillis said on X, the app formerly known as Twitter. 'Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much ❤️ .' Their relationship is unclear, but we do know they have four children together named Strider, Axure, Arcadia, and now, Seldon Lycurgus. (Musk also allegedly welcomed another child recently with Ashley St Clair.) Mark Ronson & Grace Gummer Mark Ronson and Grace Gummer reportedly welcomed their second child, a daughter whose name hasn't been released publicly yet, per Page Six. The pair started dating in 2020, then got married one year later in 2021. They also share another daughter together named Ruthie, 2. Princess Sofia of Sweden The Swedish royal family announced in February that Princess Sofia welcomed Baby No. 4. 'HRH Princess Sofia gave birth to a daughter at Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm,' the official announcement said. 'Prince Carl Philip was present at Danderyd Hospital throughout the birth.' The royal family did not announce the baby girl's name, but the little princess now joins big brothers Prince Julian, Prince Gabriel, and Prince Alexander in the line of succession, per People. Matt Leinart Retired NFL player Matt Leinart and actress Josie Leinart welcomed Baby No. 3 in Feb. 2025. '[She] was worth the wait,' the couple told People of baby Camila. 'Now our family is complete! Our boys have been a blessing, and we feel so lucky to welcome the missing puzzle piece to the Leinart family. We could not be happier.' The couple also shares sons Cayson and Cannon, and Matt shares teen son Cole with ex Brynn Cameron. Gisele Bündchen Gisele Bündchen welcomed a baby with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, per TMZ.

The Brazilian model also shares kids Benjami and Vivian with ex-husband Tom Brady, who also shares son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan. Milo Ventimiglia This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia and his wife Jarah Mariano welcomed their first baby in Jan. 2025, just a couple of weeks after losing their house in the devastating Los Angeles wildfire. 'Houseless, never homeless,' Mariano wrote in an Instagram birth announcement. The couple gave their daughter a stunning Hawaiian name, Ke'ala, which means 'the path' and has connotations of moving forward. 'My family & I are together, happy, healthy & safe, which is truly all that matters,' Mariano continued. 'We are deeply grateful to all of the heroes who help battle fires, as well as care for everyone affected … This will be an extended process of rebuilding and grieving for many, but we are feeling optimistic & inspired to welcome all of the exciting newness of our fresh start!' Lily Collins & Charlie McDowell Lily Collins shocked everyone when she announced that her and husband Charlie McDowell welcomed a baby via surrogate on Jan. 31! The Emily in Paris star announced the birth of her daughter on Instagram, revealing a picture of the baby girl named Tove in an embroidered flower hat, tan onesie, and blanket embroidered with her name. 'Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell,' Collins wrote on Instagram. 'Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again…' Amanda Seyfried commented, 'This is perfect. So so happy for you four 😍,' referring to her Instagram-famous dog named Redford. 'OMG!!!

'The families of the young parents share in their happiness.' Ryan Murphy & Bridget Murphy Olympic gold medalist Ryan Murphy and his wife Bridget welcomed a sweet baby girl at the end of January. 'Family of 3!' the proud parents captioned a joint post on Instagram. 'Eevi Lillian Murphy🪽… A name of Finnish origin meaning 'life.''

After he won Bronze in the 100-meter backstroke, he saw Bridget in the crowd with a sign that said, 'RYAN It's a GIRL!' Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi Buckingham Palace announced that Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo 'Edo' Mapelli Mozzi welcomed their second child at the end of January.

The couple are also dad and stepmom to son Christopher Woolf 'Wolfie.' 'The King and Queen, and other members of The Royal Family have all been informed and are delighted with the news,' the royal family said in the announcement. ' … Her Royal Highness and her daughter are healthy and doing well, and the family are enjoying spending time together with Athena's older siblings, Wolfie and Sienna.' The birth announcement seemed to go smoothly after Buckingham Palace made a spelling error when announcing Princess Beatrice's pregnancy back in October. Justin Reid & Marissa Rand Kansas City Chiefs star Justin Reid and his girlfriend Marissa Rand just weeks before the 2025 Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. 'It was a busy weekend for me,' the safety said during a press conference, per People. 'I had my baby girl which was the highlight, even better than the divisional win [against the Houston Texans]!'
