Brad Pitt cracks a rare smile on the set of his Cliff Booth movie following the passing of his mother
Brad Pitt reported for work Tuesday on the set of his latest film two weeks after the death of his mother. The actor, 61, has been working on David Fincher's film The Adventures of Cliff Booth, the sequel to the Oscar-winning Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood for Netflix. The versatile star was seen wearing his 1970s era costume, that included a brown suede jacket, gray jeans and a necklace of white Pooka shells. The actor, who has been sporting closely cropped hair an a beard while promoting F!: The Movie earlier this summer, appeared to be wearing a blonde wig and was cleanly shaven, except for a mustache. The day's shoot appeared to be taking place in a public space and security guards could be seen working hard to keep onlookers from getting too close to the star. The actor was 'being his usual professional self despite this personal tragedy,' a source told People. Pitt has not made any public mention of his mother's passing at age 84, on August 5, but he was thinking about her while promoting F1 on Today in June. 'I gotta say hi to my mom because she watches you every morning,' he told the hosts. He then blew a kiss following it with 'To Jane Pitt. Love you, Mom.' Pitt is reprising his role as Cliff Booth, the preferred stuntman for Leonardo DiCaprio 's TV star Rick Dalton, in Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood.. DiCaprio is not listed as a cast member on the show's IMDb page, which describes the plot as showcasing 'more of Cliff Booth's backstory in his new role as a Hollywood fixer.' Timothy Olyphant is up for a part in the new story, but wouldn't confirm or deny he had been hired after seemingly spilling the beans on Conan O'Brien's podcas t August 7. 'I'm hoping I'm in it,' the Justified star said, adding, 'You never know. It only is what it is.' Writer and director Quentin Tarantino, 62, who received Academy Award nominations for directing and writing the 2019 show business dramady, will not be helming this project. Tarantino wrote the script, but he turned over directing duties to his friend David Fincher, 62. 'I think me and David Fincher are the two best directors,' he said recently on the Church of Tarantino podcast. 'So the idea that David Fincher actually wants to adapt my work, to me, shows a level of seriousness towards my work that I think needs to be taken into account.' Tarantino, who said he will retire after his next film passed on this one because he didn't want it to be his swan song. 'It just kind of unenthused me,' he explained. 'This last movie, I've got to not know what I'm doing again. I've got to be in uncharted territory.'

SUPERMAN Concept Art and Photos Reveal First Look At Kal-El's Suit Without The Divisive Red Trunks — GeekTyrant
We have our first look at what Superman might have looked like without one of his most recognizable wardrobe choices. Newly revealed concept art gives fans a glimpse of an alternate version of the suit designed for Superman, one that skips the red trunks entirely. Graphic and surface designer Maybelle Pineda shared the behind-the-scenes concept on social media, offering a peek at an early take on the Man of Steel's costume. And yes, the red trunks were nowhere to be seen. Without them, the design feels oddly incomplete, almost like something you'd find on a knock-off toy version of the character. There's a strange nakedness to it, even if everything else about the design remains the same. There was a serious debate behind the scenes about whether or not the red trunks should make a return in the DCU. It echoes the earlier decision made by Zack Snyder to ditch the trunks in his interpretation with Henry Cavill, a move that sparked plenty of controversy back in the day. Initially, Superman director James Gunn was leaning in the same direction. "We were trying on all these different versions, and we screened tested with trunks and no trunks," Gunn explained to io9 during an on-set interview last year. "And one of the things David said is that Superman wants kids to not be afraid of him. 'He's an alien. He's got these incredible powers. He shoots beams out of his eyes… He's this incredibly powerful, could be considered scary, individual and he wants people to like him. He wants to be a symbol of hope and positivity. So he dresses like a professional wrestler. He dresses in a way that makes people unafraid of him, that shows that hope that shows that positivity. And that really clicked in for me. 'And I think trying to pretend that Superman's costume doesn't have some frivolity to it at its base, trying to make it look serious, is silly because he is a superhero. He's the first one, brightly colored and that's who he is." It turns out we have David Corenswet to thank for standing up for the red trunks. His argument wasn't just about tradition, it was about what Superman represents to the world. That visual cue, however campy it may seem to some, carries weight. It's about tone and symbolism. Corenswet pushed for the classic look, and thankfully, he got through to Gunn. So while this trunk-less concept may never see the light of day on screen, it's an interesting glimpse into the creative process behind one of the most iconic superheroes of all time. And it shows just how close we came to another red-trunkless Superman in the DC Universe.

Just in time for Halloween? Ibiza Final Boss costume is for sale online
The Ibiza Final Boss is set to be the next Halloween costume trend as outfits of the viral sensation have already started to appear online. Jack Kay, 26, became an internet celebrity after he was filmed 'cutting shapes' on the party island with a gold chain, sunglasses and a baby pink cup in his hand. When he first appeared on phone screens around the country last week, many were shocked to discover his locks were not in fact a hat. The hairstyle, coupled with his shades, gold chain, man bag and huge build, became an instantly-shareable hit. Now fancy dress shops have already started to stock costumes to allow people to share Kay's iconic look. The costumes include a stick on wig and goatee alongside accessories including the gold chain, sunglasses . They have already appeared on Ebay and Amazon. The product description for the costume on Amazon reads: 'Transform into the ultimate party legend with our Adults Ibiza Final Boss Costume Accessory Set – perfect for festivals, fancy dress events, and unforgettable nights out. 'This hilarious and bold kit includes a sleek black bob wig, stick-on goatee, chunky gold chain, and a pair of cool black shades to give you that over-the-top VIP look. 'Whether you're hitting the dance floor, hosting a themed party, or standing out at a stag do, this costume set is guaranteed to get laughs, photos, and attention. 'Comfortable to wear and easy to assemble, it's ideal for quick and impactful transformations without the fuss of a full costume. 'Pair it with your favourite outfit to complete the larger-than-life character, or go all-in for a head-turning Ibiza boss vibe. 'Designed for adults, this fun and versatile set works for club nights, summer festivals, birthday parties, or any event where you want to be the centre of attention. 'Step up, own the room, and let the final boss energy flow.' The costume is up for sale for £14.99 on Amazon. The raver has already held talks with ITV2 bosses about featuring in the next series of Big Brother, according to The Sun. Like other overnight viral stars such as 'Hawk Tuah girl' Hailey Welch and 'Salt Bae' Nusret Gokce, Kay is likely to enjoy a boom in freebies, appearances and sponsorship opportunities. Brand and culture expert Nick Ede told the Daily Mail that the 'Final Boss' of Spanish party islands stands to earn six figures in the next 12 months alone – between nightclub appearances both at home and abroad and potential brand deals. And he added that Kay's masterstroke move of signing with top talent agent Dave Read would steer him well. Read and his talent agency Neon Management are credited with making reality star Joey Essex a millionaire. Mr Ede said: 'It's amazing how he has captured the zeitgeist – he's the most popular thing since the Jet2 holiday adverts, and he can maximise on this for quite a while. 'He's a living caricature. People don't really look like that but he is exactly what you think people who go to Ibiza should look like and be like. It's actually crazy.' Kay, who shared a photo of his 'fresh trim' last week on Instagram, is likely to enjoy the attention of brands, nightclubs and celebrities all keen to be associated with him for some time to come, Mr Ede said. He continued: 'He's off doing nightclub appearances in Ibiza and I can see him doing others around Europe, being sent around by cheap holiday companies to promote their resorts. 'Then, 100 per cent, he'll do nightclub appearances in the UK and that's really lucrative. You can do four or five of them a night. 'That's going to be regular and they pay five to ten grand per appearance. Do four of them a night on a Friday and a Saturday and you can make a lot money. 'That's how people on TOWIE made their money. It wasn't through the show: it was through their nightclub appearances.' It was revealed this week that Kay held a party at a €9million villa in Ibiza at the weekend - with one of the dwarves who was at Lamine Yamal 's controversial 18th birthday party in attendance. Kay threw a party at the villa with a dwarf who had been dressed up to look like a 'mini' version of him, including a bowl cut wig. 'The final boss and the mini boss out tonight, see you soon,' Jack wrote below a video of the pair dancing at the property. The entertainer, Juan Alberto Duaso, was one of five dwarves hired for Barcelona star Yamal's birthday party last month. Their presence at the football star's bash sparked a huge backlash after it was denounced by a disabled rights group, who began legal proceedings against Yamal's team. In response, the Spanish government toughened laws for hiring people with disabilities, including dwarfism, which make it illegal to 'humiliate' or 'mock' them for entertainment - with fines now reaching as high as €600,000. A night earlier, on Saturday, Jack, 26, invited 100 of his fans to the villa for a 'huge party', which featured sets from popular DJs Deniz Menendez and Rsquared. In one picture from the bash, a vape-clutching Jack is seen posing for a picture next to a blonde beauty in a fitted leopard print top, while a group of young women flank his right side. Other clips shared by his friends show the internet sensation dancing while sporting his trademark black glasses, bowl haircut and fitted vest. The videos showed how one of the rooms in the villa has been repurposed into a mini nightclub, complete with strobe lighting, a DJ booth and a bar. It was also reported last week that Kay is fighting to save his relationship to his model girlfriend - after she unceremoniously dumped him as he partied on the White Isle. Alisha, 23, a debt collector, from Co Durham, is said to have been so angry with Mr Kay raving in Ibiza she dumped him before footage spread online and propelled him to viral stardom as the 'Ibiza final boss '. They have since reconciled, but a source close to Mr Kay said he was 'skating on thin ice' over his partying ways. A friend of Mr Kay's told the Daily Mail: 'Alisha called it off when Jack went to Ibiza with the lads. Alisha, 23, a debt collector, from Co Durham, is said to have been so angry with Mr Kay raving in Ibiza she dumped him before footage spread online and propelled him to viral stardom as the 'Ibiza final boss' 'They'd been together for almost a year and he was living at her place but things hadn't been right for months. 'His car is still on her drive, she threw all his clothes in the back of it. She doesn't want him around anymore. 'She's had inklings that something was not right for a while. She just wants to wash her hands of him. 'Alisha is so beautiful. No one is quite sure what she saw in him.' The friend added: 'It's hard to believe that he's been branded the super king of Ibiza - the final boss - when she's been left on her own back here.' When Mr Kay sprung to viral fame after being filmed dancing on the party island, donning a gold chain and baby pink cup, Alisha revealed herself publicly as his girlfriend. She shared a series of TikTok videos captioned 'POV (point of view) ya boyfriends now known as Ibiza final boss'. In the clips, blonde-haired Alisha was seen cuddled up to Mr Kay, with him kissing her on the cheek. However, the friend claimed that Alisha had only posted the video 'to boost her TikTok' and that she had already handed out her marching orders. She has subsequently deleted her presence on social media after Mr Kay's sudden fame. A holiday firm has also sought to capitalise on the craze with a hilarious advert centred on the trim. Big business is piling in on the trend - with On The Beach unveiling two adverts featuring the haircut disguised as an umbrella pole on an idyllic beach, in the hopes of enticing ravers to attend Ibiza's closing parties in September and October. The ads include the hilarious lines such as: 'Hastings to Ibiza from £295pp, Haircut not included' and 'Face the Final Boss, Ibiza from £295pp'. Spokeswoman Zoe Harris said: 'If Jack's "Ibiza final boss" barnet can turn heads faster than a DJ drops the bass, then it will certainly get people's attention on advertising boards. 'The famous mop is now being used to sell our incredible deals to the closing parties in September and October. That's trimmed down prices for holidays that are a cut above the rest.' She added: 'Ibiza is such a popular spot for Brits and we have no doubt that this viral moment will lead to more people booking to go out to throw some shapes on the many dancefloors across the island.' On the day the Ibiza Final Boss went viral on social media, bookings to the island rose by 48 per cent day on day - and On the Beach told of expecting a further increase as attentions turn towards closing parties. Kay's own social media following has exploded, with his TikTok account - labelled 'IBIZA FINAL BOSS' - picking up almost 20,000 followers, while a newly created Instagram has 27,000. Comments on his social media are laden with praise and offers to keep him coming back to Ibiza again and again. Travel firms have offered him holidays, while Gary Lineker's clubbing-obsessed brother Wayne - who owns club O Beach - has asked him to get in touch.

Loose Women star dresses up as a granny in a grey permed wig and makeshift BBL as she celebrates her birthday in London
Loose Women star GK Barry dressed up as a granny in a grey curly wig as she celebrated her 26th birthday at The Prince in London on Saturday night. The TikTok star, whose real name is Grace Keeling, revealed on Instagram that she was thrown the surprise celebration by footballer girlfriend Ella Rutherford. Grace looked thrilled to dress up as 'Nana GK' as she donned a patterned dress with a pink cardigan as she partied with friends. She rocked the grey permed wig with pink curlers in and accessoried with pink framed glasses, comfortable white shoes and a pearl necklace. The I'm A Celebrity star sipped on prosecco as she posed with a blow up walking stick and a zimmer frame. In one picture, Grace pulled up her long dress flashing a jumper stuck to her bottom creating a fake BBL as she penned: '#Nosurgery and #haterswillsayitspadding'. She flashed her gorgeous smile as she blew out the candles on her huge cake before playing beer pong and being lifted into the air by her pals. Ella also treated Grace to a giant LED 'HBDGRACE' letters which were displayed in the pub as well as a personalised 'Grace is 26' photo board and pink balloons. The ITV star was also joined by I'm A Celebrity co-star Melvin Odoom during the bash, who opted to avoid fancy dress in a white T-shirt. She wrote: 'Surprise bday party for nana gk x thank u to @theprincelondon for having us and sorry for what you witnessed'. It comes after Grace broke her silence on the upcoming ITV cuts and has revealed whether viewers can expect to still see her on their screens. It was revealed back in May that the show has been axed for half of the year and Lorraine's runtime has been slashed by 30 minutes, as Daytime bosses announced cuts with job losses in excess of 220. According to insiders, once ITV's budget cuts come into effect in January, Loose Women will no longer have A-list guests in the studio, and the broadcast is planned to only consist of the panel debating newsworthy topics from the week. Now, in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail, Grace has revealed she has no plans to leave the show. She explained: 'I think so, I think I'm still on. I'm pretty sure I'm still there. Obviously the cuts are such a shame, but I'm very glad that Loose Women is still able to be on because I think it's so important to have a women-led show on.' Grace is the youngest ever panellist to appear on Loose Women and was born in the year the ITV daytime show started. Reflecting on her time on the show since joining in 2024, Grace added: 'I'm not gonna lie, I was terrified on my first episode. 'I was like, "None of these women know me, are they gonna think I'm weird," but hand on heart, they are the loveliest women I have ever met in my life. They are so welcoming, and it's just such a fun show. 'I think it's important to have a show on the telly that is all women-based, and it's one of the few that is. The audience are amazing. They always give it large, and you get to speak your mind and no one judges you for it, which is nice.' 'People believe it's just women arguing, but every time I've had a differing opinion on the panel, they're just like, 'that's cool,' no one's had a problem with it.' The influencer has seen her career skyrocket since jetting off to Australia last November for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Grace finished in fifth place and was evicted on day 20 of the competition, while McFly's Danny Jones went on to win the ITV show. Grace is once again taking her popular podcast Saving Grace to venues across the UK as part of a Jungle Fever Tour special. The show promises a 'night of feral fun' with gossip, special surprises, and celebrity guests. Grace has also been focusing on charity work and recently visited C9 the Teenage Cancer Trust ward at Addenbrooke's Hospital. She was joined by girlfriend and professional footballer Ella Rutherford to meet cancer staff and bring joy to young people on the unit. Grace went viral after she shared a video showing off what she really looked like behind the glamour of carefully edited Instagram - and it sparked a trend of other influencers doing the same. The video racked up almost 94,000 likes, and social media users from around the world then began replicating the video and using her voiceover to expose how they actually look when posting online. She soon gained a huge following and within a year, had amassed a whopping one million followers on the video-sharing platform. At present, she now has a huge 4.1million followers on TikTok and an impressive 1.8million fans on Instagram. Cambridge-born Grace went on to create her own podcast, Saving Grace, in April 2022 and has interviewed numerous celebrities including Coleen Nolan, Olivia Bowen and Alan Carr. In early 2024, GK took the podcast, which is also uploaded as a vodcast on YouTube, on a sold-out tour around the country.

Dolly Parton altered Playboy bunny outfit for magazine cover to respect religious fans: author
Dolly Parton has always cared about her fans. In 1978, that meant requesting a special costume for her iconic Playboy photo shoot that wouldn't offend the more religious members of her fanbase. Lawrence Grobel, famed celebrity interviewer, was the journalist who spoke to Parton for the intimate, wide-ranging interview, and in diary entries he wrote at the time, which were recently shared with Vanity Fair, he explained her and her team's thought process behind agreeing to the Playboy interview in the first place. "Her manager, Sandy Gallin, told her that Playboy is the classiest magazine to do an interview," he wrote. "But there are some Bible-totin' folks who are her fans and that concerns her. She'll pose for the cover if the bunny costume can be altered so the crotch can be lowered and she doesn't reveal too much boob." Fox News Digital reached out to Parton's representative for comment. In the actual 1978 interview, Parton said that when it came to posing for the cover, "I was afraid at first, when we talked about it. I didn't want to be naked or something on the front of a magazine unless everybody knew it was a joke." She continued, "I mean, I wouldn't want to be naked even then. It might not offend me, but I was afraid maybe a lot of my country fans and some of the people who love me who are of a religious nature might not understand." The "I Will Always Love You" singer acknowledged that people would "make jokes and things, not because of my beauty but just because of that physical thing that's built around my boobs," and she said that made her question doing the shoot. "Then I thought, it isn't something I should be ashamed of," she said. "Playboy's a real classy magazine. And I mean, who else but Dolly Parton should be on the cover of Playboy? If you wanted an outrageous person to be an outrageous magazine cover, who else? I just hope people will take it in the spirit in which I did it—you know, something cute and off-the-wall for me." In his diary, Grobel described Parton as "funny, charming, disarming," and wrote that it was "easy to talk to her," but "difficult to interrupt." He also wrote that she "has no trouble talking about anything, though when I asked her how old she was when she lost her virginity, she said if she told me, people would think she was perverted." The writer noted in another entry after another conversation with her: "Of all the stars I've met, she's the most naturally flirtatious." In 2024, Parton spoke about her Playboy cover, telling Business Insider that while she was "comfortable" with the photo shoot she did, "I was not going to do any of the layouts, the nudity and all that." She explained, "I always have to feel in my gut what I can and can't do, what I will and won't do. And I was never going to do the spreads, if you pardon the expression." Parton said at one point that she wanted to do another Playboy cover when she was 75. (The country legend celebrated that birthday in 2021.) By that time, the magazine had already gone out of print, but she kept true to her word, putting a similar black bunny costume on and sharing her look in a video she posted on Instagram. The specific reason that she shared in the video was to celebrate the birthday of her longtime husband, Carl Dean, who passed away earlier this year. "I was trying to think of something to do to make him happy," Parton told her followers at the time. "He still thinks I'm a hot chick after 57 years and I'm not gonna try to talk him out of that." She added that he'd "always loved" the original 1978 cover, and in addition to wearing the costume for him in person, she did a special photo shoot for him, even gifting him a photo frame holding both the original cover and a new photo of her in the iconic black corset with matching black rabbit ears. Though she said Dean still thought she was a "hot chick" then, she told Playboy in 1978 that she'd never seen herself that way. "I never thought of myself as being a sex symbol," she said then. "It never crossed my mind that anybody might think I was sexy." She said she didn't want the "responsibility" of being sexy, and explained that while she does enjoy her "gaudy" looks, she doesn't find them sexy. If she were actually trying to look that way, she explained, she'd make different choices. "But why bother?" Parton asked. "I'm already married and he don't mind how I look. He likes me gaudy or ungaudy."
