Actress Alia Shawkat used a live television appearance to flatly deny years-old rumors that she and Brad Pitt were ever romantically involved, saying the speculation started simply because she stood next to him. Shawkat, 37, appeared on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" on Aug. 16 alongside costar Kristen Stewart. Host Andy Cohen wasted no time raising the subject that has trailed Shawkat since 2019, when she and the 62-year-old Pitt were spotted together at an art exhibition in Los Angeles and at other public outings. Cohen told Shawkat he had been "obsessed with the Brad Pitt rumors." Her answer was direct and unbothered, USA Today reported . "He's just my friend. We became friends." Shawkat explained that filmmaker Spike…Open

Two Ohio cruise passengers face multiple felony charges after authorities say they forced their way into a fellow passenger's cabin and attacked three people, including a 9-year-old child, because someone asked them to keep the noise down. Gannon Jacox, 29, and Brooklyn Hicks, 28, were arrested after their cruise ship returned to Port Canaveral, Florida, USA TODAY reported . The couple had been drinking and arguing aboard the ship when a fellow passenger asked them to quiet down. Instead of lowering their voices, authorities say, Hicks went to confront the passenger, and Jacox followed with his cell phone recording. What happened next earned both of them a set of felony charges and a public rebuke from the local sheriff. Court records…Open
The creator of "Yellowstone" has landed a deal with NBCUniversal valued at one billion dollars, a staggering payday for a man who writes every script himself and has never won an Emmy. Taylor Sheridan, the 56-year-old Texan behind the most-watched cable drama of the last decade, is leaving Paramount for NBCUniversal in a deal that […] The post Taylor Sheridan built a billion-dollar TV empire by ignoring Hollywood's rules appeared first on American Almanac .
The creator of "Yellowstone" has landed a deal with NBCUniversal valued at one billion dollars, a staggering payday for a man who writes every script himself and has never won an Emmy. Taylor Sheridan, the 56-year-old Texan behind the most-watched cable drama of the last decade, is leaving Paramount for NBCUniversal in a deal that cements him as one of the most commercially powerful figures in television. He got there without a writers' room, without courting awards voters, and without playing the Hollywood access game that most showrunners treat as a second career. Page Six profiled Sheridan's rise, working methods, and blunt personality in detail, and the picture that emerges is a man who built his empire the way a rancher builds a…Open

A small, leggy figure that appeared in a NASA rover photo on Mars and then vanished from subsequent frames has fueled a fresh round of online speculation about what, exactly, the Curiosity rover keeps finding on the Red Planet. The image dates back to August 20, 2023, when NASA's Curiosity rover snapped several photos of the Martian surface around 6:27 p.m. ET. In one panoramic shot, a small object sits in the left corner of the frame, something that appears to have a body with two small legs , set against a dusty landscape of rocky hills. Photos taken less than a minute earlier show no trace of it. No other images captured that day recorded the figure. And NASA has offered no public explanation for the anomaly. An image three years old…Open
A Chinese robotics company says its new humanoid prototype hit 28.3 mph on a test track, a speed that would top Usain Bolt's world record, though the claim remains unverified and the firm's robots have already injured people.

A Chinese robotics company says its new humanoid prototype hit 28.3 mph on a test track, a speed that would top Usain Bolt's world record, though the claim remains unverified and the firm's robots have already injured people. Hangzhou-based Unitree posted video to X showing a bipedal machine it calls "Superman" sprinting along a track at what the company says was 12.66 metres per second. If accurate, that figure edges past the 12.42 m/s mark Bolt set at the 2009 World Athletics Championship, a record no human has touched since. The robot also jumped roughly two metres straight up from a standing position, clearing the 1.7-metre standing vertical record held by American Christopher Spell since 2021. Unitree packaged the demonstration as a…Open
