Shake-Up or Showdown? What Does Dumas Want After May 30 Young and Restless?
Nikki Newman's birthday bash should have been all about her, but one man managed to hijack the night without even showing up on Young and the Restless. That man? Dumas. While the Newmans toasted their matriarch, invites from Dumas were being slid into every power player's pocket – from the Abbotts and Baldwins to the Winters clan. The question isn't why he did it – he's obviously stirring the pot—the question is what does he want? Aristotle Dumas isn't exactly known for subtlety, but this stunt? It's calculated chaos. Everyone thought Nikki's (Melody Thomas Scott) big day would dominate the social calendar, but now all anyone can talk about is what's coming next. An announcement? A takeover? A revenge play? The man may have skipped the champagne, but he popped a different kind of cork with those cryptic invites – and the fallout is just beginning. MORE: Will Michael keep his promise to his wife? There are whispers swirling through Genoa City faster than Diane (Susan Walters) can say 'martini.' Some think Dumas is trying to buy his way into Newman territory with a pitch too big to ignore. Others believe he's got dirt to drop, and he's waiting until the most powerful players are all in one room to detonate the bomb. Could this be a revenge plot tied to a long-forgotten betrayal? Or is Dumas launching a business venture so bold, it'll shake every legacy name in town? Either way, no one gets everyone in the same room without a motive. And if Dumas has gathered the Newmans, Abbotts, Winters, and Baldwins? He's about to set the whole town on fire. MORE: Is THIS player secretly working with Dumas? Victor (Eric Braeden) is already suspicious, and you can bet Phyllis is plotting to crash this mysterious event. Lily's (Christel Khalil) curious, Nate's (Sean Dominic) cautious, and Devon's (Bryton James) digging for details. It's the kind of build-up that screams something big is coming—and whatever it is, it won't just disrupt business. It could reshape the entire social hierarchy of Genoa City. So what's the endgame? An epic reveal? A power shift? A personal vendetta wrapped in diamonds and designer invitations? Time will tell—but one thing's certain: Dumas didn't just crash Nikki's party. He stole the spotlight, and he's about to turn it into a stage.

Rust director hits out at Alec Baldwin with brutal comment after revealing reason he hasn't watched his new reality show
Four years after the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of Alec Baldwin's movie , the actor has started to feature in a new reality TV show - but it's not one that film director Joel Souza has any intention of watching. The death of Hutchins prompted an investigation into Baldwin after it emerged that the bullet that killed the cinematographer had come from the prop gun that he had been holding while on the set on October 21, 2021. In December 2024, Baldwin was officially cleared of involuntary manslaughter, and two months later marked the debut of his new show, The Baldwins. Now, Souza has spoken out about his experience working on Rust, and what he makes of Baldwin's new venture, in an interview with The Guardian. In spite of Hutchins' death on the set of Rust, Souza said 'the family wanted it completed', and he couldn't 'live with' the idea of someone else taking charge of the movie. So the director went back and worked alongside Baldwin, whose gun had also injured him during the incident in October 2021. Recalling his experience with filming after Hutchins' death, Souza said: "I was a mess going in and a mess coming out. The crew carried me through. My family carried me through. Emotionally, I was all over the map.' The movie is now preparing for release, with the director having said last summer that he has 'no relationship' with Baldwin. He said: 'We're not friends. We're not enemies. There's no relationship.' Following the release of Baldwin's reality TV show, Souza threw shade at his former co-worker in the new interview as he made clear he had no interest in the programme, which follows Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, as they go about their daily lives raising their seven children. Souza even explained why he didn't watch the show, as he said: 'I think I was busy hitting myself in the face with a frying pan that night." Perhaps not the best review, but as they say, all publicity is good publicity. The Baldwins has received a mixed response from viewers, with one branding it 'tone deaf' in the wake of Hutchins' death. The series has a score of just 3.5 stars out of 10 on IMDb. As for Souza, he continues to think about the day Hutchins died, considering a 'chain of events' that began the morning of the fatal shooting. "Bad decision after bad decision was made," he said. 'Talk about the butterfly effect. I wish I never wrote the damn movie.'

Binge watching TV will make time fly on a long-haul flight
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. I must start by saying I have always been a relatively easy-to-please traveller. I love airline food and tiny containers of yoghurt and mini packets of nuts make my heart sing. I love little gins and small wine bottles. I love amenity kits. I adore travel-sized beauty products. I even really like eating overpriced airport food and drinking overpriced airport sparkling wine while waiting for a flight. It's all part of the experience and I can't get enough of it. I also love in-flight entertainment and once upon a time would stop watching new movies in the weeks leading up to a flight so that I could enjoy them one after another on the plane. Long-haul flights? An excuse to watch all the movies, eat all the nuts and drink all the small gins. Bliss. But times have changed, and these days I don't watch in-flight movies at all. I don't even bother to scroll through the selection – after all, with the streamers showing most movies before they've even left the cinema, I'm destined to be disappointed when the one new film I haven't seen stars a bunch of nobodies and a lesser Baldwin. Nothing against the Baldwins, but you know what I mean. Today, I'm all about the box sets. Hear me out. There will always be a TV series you have missed. I have every streaming service under the sun (and my accountant will tell you it's not a good use of my money) and yet I still somehow haven't seen season five of Breaking Bad or season three of Industry. A few hours in the air and you can knock those shows over before you can say 'another tiny gin and tonic, thank you'. If that mid-air malaise kicks in, getting to the end of a 30-minute episode sets you up perfectly for an uncomfortable attempt at sleeping without having to stop mid-movie and remember where you got up to when you wake up approximately 40 minutes later. You can smash through a box set of 13 half-hour eps in sixish hours and really feel like you've achieved something. I watched three seasons of Mad Men on a recent trip back from the UK – I felt like I worked at Sterling Cooper by the time I landed home in Sydney. I was au fait with how to make a great Martini, plus I had a list of retro furniture I wanted to buy and a desperate desire to join a typing pool. I also kept telling my husband I had Peggy on the line for him, which understandably confused him. Watching a box set can become a fun sport as you try to finish an entire series before dinner service or get to a season finale before the lights come up. True, there can be a panic when you're two eps away from the end and the captain suddenly tells the crew to prepare the cabin for landing, but that's what fast-forward is for, quite frankly, and a seasoned pro will never let it happen twice. Look, I get it. If you've been wanting to watch The Joker since it came out, and there it is on your entertainment system just as the crew serve you your chicken and black bean sauce, then by all means go for gold. But if you're scrolling and no movies appeal, then just give one tiny box set a crack and see how good it feels. Polish off a series of Arrested Development, why don't you? Or watch the three hour-long eps of A Very Royal Scandal. Finally get stuck into Game of Thrones – that's a real hoot. Or come and join me in Don Draper's world.I promise you'll never look back. And those Martinis are to die for. Originally published as Binge watching TV will make time fly on a long flight

Alec Baldwin is in trouble for ‘manterrupting' his wife – but somebody had to
As the team grinds into pre-production for a new series of Only Connect, my mind as always starts grouping everything around me in sets of four. You know how that happens? If you do too many crosswords, all the number plates of passing cars turn into anagrams? If you play too much Scrabble, you can't read emails without involuntarily scoring the words? If you don't know what I mean, Only Connect is probably not the show for you. Or, if you do, you might enjoy this puzzle: what connects 'Spreading', 'Scaping', 'Splaining' and… ready for the fourth giveaway clue? 'Terrupting'. That's right: you can put 'man' in front of all of them to complete a zeitgeisty modern coinage. 'Manspreading' was invented to describe the way that some men sprawl in seats, particularly on public transport, legs akimbo to take up as much space as possible. 'Manscaping' refers to cosmetic trimming of body hair in the nether regions (I do apologise if you're reading this over breakfast, especially if you're having vermicelli). And 'mansplaining' is the original: credited to Rebecca Solnit, author of the book Men Explain Things to Me, it describes a particularly male way of slowly telling women how everything works. (Men talk to women like they're idiots, women talk about men like they're idiots, mutatis mutandis.) I had never heard 'manterrupting' until last week, although – before a hero leaps in mid-sentence to parse it for me – I reckon I can decipher what it means. It came up over and over again after a controversial red-carpet interview with the actor Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria. Did you hear about this? The Baldwins are doing a reality TV show together, a fly-on-the-wall look at their life and many children. (Voice in head: 'All we need now for an Only Connect question is three more things that Alec Baldwin has in common with Jacob Rees-Mogg. Has Jacob Rees-Mogg confessed to 'a white-hot cocaine problem'? Has Jacob Rees-Mogg had a long, steamy affair with Kim Basinger? Did Alec Baldwin campaign for British Acts of Parliament to continue being printed on vellum? Keep thinking, keep thinking…') At the opening night for a new Planet Hollywood, the Baldwins were asked about their series. She answered, he joined in and she snapped: 'No! When I'm talking you're not talking!' The awkward footage went viral and the Baldwins have spent the intervening time posting damage-limitation videos on TikTok and Instagram to emphasise that he 'manterrupted' her, he's very sorry and everyone's fine. Now, the press shrieks that Alec Baldwin has been brought humiliatingly to heel, his wife has got him by the short and manscaped, the marriage is on the rocks. @extra_tv Alec and Hilaria Baldwin on if we'll see a Season 2 of their family reality show! 📺 #alecbaldwin #hilariabaldwin #thebaldwins #tlc ♬ original sound - ExtraTV Intrigued by all this gossip, I paid £3.99 for Discovery+ in order to watch an episode of The Baldwins. My verdict is: this might be the most boring programme I've ever seen, but they aren't unhappily married. Why would they be? He's a Hollywood star with a house in the Hamptons, she's a hot yoga instructor 26 years younger, everyone's happy. Idly, I remember the photo I once saw in Vanity Fair of the busty Playboy centrefold Anna Nicole Smith with her 89-year-old billionaire husband J. Howard Marshall in a jewellery shop, captioned: 'J Howard relaxes in his wheelchair as Anna picks out gems.' What a contented sentence that was. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alec Baldwin (@alecbaldwininsta) No criticism intended, by the way. Of course Alec Baldwin's money and fame increase his sex appeal; that's no shallower than his own liking for his wife's youth and bendiness. Besides, contentedness is not necessarily in the eye of the beholder. Anna Nicole Smith was left nothing in that lecherous old billionaire's will and died from a drug overdose some years later. Alec and Hilaria filmed their series throughout the aftermath of a disaster on a Western he was making, where he shot dead a young woman cinematographer (and mother of a small boy) with a faulty prop gun that turned fatal. 'I've never been through anything remotely like this in my entire life,' says Alec. Well, one would think not. I found it weird enough just typing it out in a sentence. So we can assume they're tormented, although they've overcome it sufficiently to film themselves giggling as they squirt pink icing onto one of their indistinguishable children's birthday cakes, which is not perhaps what you or I might have done under the circumstances. Problem is, Alec Baldwin is a bit special and his wife really isn't. I mean… you know, we're all special in the eyes of the Lord and our children. But special on camera is a different story. Alec Baldwin is a unique character with an astonishing face, powerful charisma and funny bones; anyone who's seen 30 Rock knows that, never mind the Hollywood blockbusters he made before. Hilaria is like someone you might greet politely on the next rowing machine at the gym. She's fine. Ordinary, pretty and fine. Everything that's wrong with the reality show comes down to her talking too much. Not as a wife! Not as a woman! But as a voice on camera, sheesh, put a sock in it. It's all so, so, so boring. The idea of Mrs Baldwin as a co-star with equal box-office appeal, shutting the old man up on a red carpet so she can expound at length… I'm afraid it's not terribly good for women. It's not what the concepts of 'mansplaining' and 'manterrupting' were invented for. Say what you like about Meghan Markle; at least in her marriage she is the more sparkling performer. God spare us from the Hilaria and Prince Harry show.

Alec Baldwin Gets Schooled by 11-Year-Old Daughter Carmen as She Attempts to Teach Him 'Gen Alpha Slang'
Alec Baldwin is learning a thing or two from his preteen daughter. In a clip shared with Access Hollywood ahead of this Sunday's episode of The Baldwins, the 30 Rock alum, 66, receives lessons in "gen alpha slang" from his 11-year-old daughter Carmen. As the father-daughter duo sits together in a chair, Carmen recites various words to her dad, who then has to try to define them. 'Hey y'all! Today we're going to be doing my dad's slang words, even though he is somebody who doesn't really use that much Gen Alpha slang,' Carmen says. 'Dad, what does 'ick' mean?' 'Gross,' Baldwin says.

Beta' mean?' 'They're numbers in the Greek alphabet. Alpha, beta…' says Alec, trailing off. 'No. 'Sigma' means like good and 'Beta' means like bad,' Carmen scoffs. 'This has been the most informative day of my life, by the way,' jokes Baldwin. 'It's amazing.' She then asks her dad to define "spill the tea," which he does know ("Tell us the truth!") and "cap," which Carmen describes as "such a frat boy word." 'You pooped in your pants? You capped your pants?' jokes Baldwin. 'No, it means lie,' Carmen says, laughing. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hilaria Thomas Baldwin (@hilariabaldwin) She then asks him to define what "simp" means, saying that it's an "annoying word." ''Simp' means stupid, right?' Baldwin asks, prompting Carmen to roll her eyes and go, 'No.' 'It basically means if there's a girl, you're simping over her," explains Carmen. "My brother's celebrity crush is Jenna Ortega. So Jenna? My brother loves ya." 'Ship me to cap you, simp,' jokes Baldwin. 'Does it work? No?' 'You should know this one. What does 'gyatt' mean?' asks Carmen. 'It means your giant butt,' responds Baldwin. 'Exactly, it's a big, bodacious gyatt,' says Carmen. "Alright, that's exciting. Thank you so much. That's been fantastic. Thank you so much, Carmen,' Baldwin says, clapping. The Baldwins airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC. Read the original article on People
