Bruce Willis’ Wife Says He’s “Healthy & Active” — But His Brain Is “Failing Him”

 Published August 28, 2025 Bruce Willis may still be physically active and mobile, but the real battle lies within: his brain. In a deeply emotional health update, Emma Heming Willis, the actor’s wife, shared a candid portrait of life with her husband as he faces the relentless progression of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). According to ABC News, Emma described Bruce as being “in really great health overall,” but painfully noted, “it’s just his brain that is failing him” . The actor’s ability to communicate—his language skills—continues to decline, though the family has adapted and found new, meaningful ways to connect . Still, flickers of his old self shine through. Emma spoke of moments when his hearty laugh breaks through or she sees “that twinkle in his eye,” recalling, “Not days, but we get moments…” . To ensure Bruce receives round-the-clock care in a safe and calm environment, the family moved him to a specially tailored, one-story home nearby. Emma described the decision as ...

Robert Downey Jr. and Ryan Reynolds Reportedly Had a "Tense Standoff" on Avengers: Doomsday Set

 Published August 28, 2025 A cloud of gossip has hovered over the Avengers: Doomsday set in recent days—but sources are now stepping forward to clear the air. Let’s unpack what’s rumor and what’s fact, plus where and when you’ll get to watch the film. --- The Rumor: A Tense Standoff Over a Joke? Reports first surfaced suggesting that a “poorly timed joke” from Ryan Reynolds allegedly sparked a confrontation with Robert Downey Jr., leading to what was characterized as a “tense standoff” on set. Supposedly, Marvel had to adjust filming schedules by shooting the actors separately to defuse the tension. The rumor also mentioned Downey demanding reshoots—potentially inflating the budget by “millions”—after dissatisfaction with his body double’s performance in the Doctor Doom suit. --- The Reality: Rumors Debunked—No Feud, No Bad Blood According to PEOPLE, the actors are not feuding and there's “zero bad blood” between them. In fact, it appears they’ve never even met in person. TMZ echoe...

The Roses Scores “Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes, Starring Cumberbatch & Colman

 August 27, 2025 — The Roses, the much-anticipated dark comedy remake of The War of the Roses, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, has received a “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 63% from 49 critic reviews . Directed by Jay Roach and penned by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Tony McNamara, this contemporary reimagining relocates the bitter marital battle from the original’s setting to a wealthy Californian suburb, focusing on Ivy (Colman), a rising restaurateur, and Theo (Cumberbatch), a once-successful architect whose career has collapsed . Critics’ Reactions: Divided Yet Intriguing Reviews on The Roses span a wide spectrum: The Times (UK) praises the film’s tone, likening it to Marriage Story, applauding the chemistry and depth brought by Colman and Cumberbatch . In contrast, The Guardian criticizes the film’s emotional arc for lacking authenticity, despite its polished aesthetic . The Daily Beast is harsher still, arguing that the remake fails to justi...

Tyler Hoechlin, Superman of CW’s Superman & Lois, Expresses Interest in Playing Batman in the DCU

  August 26, 2025 — At this year’s FAN EXPO Canada, Tyler Hoechlin—best known for his portrayal of Superman in Superman & Lois—made a surprising announcement: he would like to play Batman in the upcoming DC Universe (DCU). According to MovieWeb, Hoechlin admitted he'd “still want to play Batman,” adding a playful refusal to the idea of combining Robert Pattinson’s version with David Corenswet’s Superman . Despite acknowledging that Pattinson “did a fantastic, fantastic job” as the Caped Crusader, Hoechlin expressed interest in a new vision of the character—one distinct from Matt Reeves' interpretation. He suggested leaving "the door open for maybe an additional whole new envisioning of Batman versus Superman” . As the former Superman of the Arrowverse, Hoechlin has earned praise for his nuanced take on Clark Kent—especially during the four-season run of Superman & Lois, which concluded in 2024 . His reflections on stepping aside for David Corenswet—who now leads th...

MCU Star Reveals Ambitious "Scrapped" Plans for Marvel Team That Deserved Better

 Date: August 24, 2025 In a surprising turn, Eternals star Kumail Nanjiani recently opened up about the unrealized future planned for his character — Kingo — in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Speaking candidly on the Working It Out podcast, Nanjiani shared that, following the release of Eternals, he had expected to have a long-running role within the MCU. “I signed on for six movies. I signed on for a video game,” he revealed, even mentioning that a theme park ride was part of the ambitious plan . What Happened? Nanjiani attributed the abrupt end of those plans to Eternals’ reception, both from critics and at the box office. The film currently holds a 47% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and its domestic earnings were notably weak — factors that led Marvel to shelve the expansive roadmap planned for Kingo . A Shattered Blueprint Despite Kingo’s brief nods in subsequent MCU projects like Ms. Marvel, Loki, She-Hulk, and even a cameo appearance in the animated anthology What If…?, none reca...

Sydney Sweeney’s Americana Branded a Flop, but Lionsgate Shrugs Off Box Office

 Los Angeles, August 2025 — Sydney Sweeney’s latest feature, Americana, has been met with tough headlines after a sluggish debut at the box office. The film, however, may not be the financial disaster it appears to be. According to Cinemablend, the western drama brought in about $500,000 from over 1,100 theaters during its opening weekend, averaging just $436 per screen (cinemablend.com). That performance sparked talk of a flop — but Lionsgate had a different playbook in mind from the start. The studio acquired the film for $3 million, already recouping nearly 60% of the cost through international pre-sales, and kept marketing spend minimal. The true focus is on post-theatrical revenue: premium video-on-demand, followed by streaming through Starz. Director Tony Tost defended the movie in Entertainment Weekly, calling it a “hidden gem” overshadowed by unrelated controversies, while co-star Halsey blasted critics and boycotters, dismissing the backlash as “denim bulls-t” (Page Six). ...

Oil Prices Fall on Talks to End Russian Invasion of Ukraine

 According to Reuters, global oil prices slipped on Tuesday as renewed peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine raised hopes of a potential breakthrough that could ease sanctions on Russian crude and increase global supply. Brent crude futures fell by about 1%, trading near $65.97 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) also edged lower. The market reaction came as diplomats signaled progress in discussions that might pave the way for an eventual ceasefire or resolution to the conflict. Energy analysts note that the talks have created cautious optimism among traders, who expect that if sanctions on Moscow are softened, millions of barrels of Russian crude could re-enter global markets. While this would help reduce tight supply and bring relief to fuel-hungry economies, it also places downward pressure on oil prices. The decline in prices also had a ripple effect on Gulf stock markets, with indices in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi trading slightly lower...

✨ How Rogue One’s Reshoots – and Alan Tudyk’s Candid Take – Helped Save a Galaxy Far, Far Away

 When Rogue One: A Star Wars Story hit cinemas in 2016, fans didn’t just walk out excited — they walked out stunned. The movie delivered a gritty, emotional prequel that tied directly into A New Hope, giving the Star Wars franchise a fresh shot of adrenaline. But what many people don’t know is that the film went through heavy reshoots that nearly reshaped the way we see it today. One actor who lived through that chaos is Alan Tudyk, the voice of the sarcastic droid K-2SO. In a recent reflection, Tudyk described just how unpredictable the process was. According to him, entire lines and scenes filmed early on were later tossed out, some of which even made it into trailers but never into the final cut. He joked that it sometimes felt like filming on shifting sands — one day a line would exist, the next day it was gone. Despite that, Tudyk admitted the reshoots were also “magic.” From exotic filming locations to the energy of the cast, the chaos somehow turned into one of the franchise...

Dangote Refinery: A Masterclass in Entrepreneurship and the Private Sector's Power

 Africa’s Industrial Game-Changer Aliko Dangote's ambition to transform Nigeria’s energy landscape is embodied in the Dangote Petroleum Refinery—Africa’s largest oil refinery and a monument to private-sector initiative.

Nigeria’s Fish Supply Gap Opens ₦23 Trillion Opportunity

 A Growing Deficit, A Massive Opportunity Nigeria’s annual demand for fish stands at 3.6 million metric tonnes, yet local production only contributes about 1.2 million metric tonnes—leaving a staggering 2.4 million tonne gap filled by imports. That’s roughly 67% of domestic demand unmet by home production. Source: BusinessDay  Import Costs and the Economic Drain The country currently spends an estimated ₦1 trillion annually on fish imports to bridge this supply shortfall. This heavy reliance on imported seafood comes with a considerable economic burden and highlights a critical area for local investment and development. Source: BusinessDay  Quantifying the ₦23 Trillion Potential To put this in perspective: suppose local value addition through aquaculture, processing, and distribution results in ₦10,000 of value per kilogram (₦10 million per tonne)—a conservative number given added income from packaging, storage, and transport.
