No matter how anyone feels about what actually happened at Cannes, there's one thing we can all agree on:
Charlize Theron in a suit is the literal 8th wonder of the world. Her film The Last Face - directed by Sean Penn and co-starring Blue is the Warmest Color's Adele Exarchopoulos - might have been greeted rather harshly by critics, but she did not let that stop her from shining any less bright than a diamond. Now let's dive deep into why this is our new obsession, shall we?

Noah Beck is giving fans what they want.
After filming a Baywatch TV reboot earlier this year, the handsome actor is continuing to hit the gym by showing off his impressive progress in a couple of viral new pics.
Wearing nothing but a towel, Beck flaunts his ripped abs and muscles in the photos posted to his Instagram Stories, but fans were quick to repost the shots all across social media.
Although the Baywatch reboot is slated to release in January 2027, the handsome actor is certainly keeping fans on the edge of their seats with all of his posts. Check out the highlights below!
When Bowen Yang announced that he would be leaving Saturday Night Live last year, many could already feel that the energy of the show would be different. To fans, he was a standout performer, racking up four Primetime Emmy nominations for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series during his tenure. But as he expressed in a new interview, Yang never felt as important to the show as he might have seemed from the outside.
“I feel like I was kind of resolute the season before about leaving and there was just a lot of uncertainty about what the show would look like after season 50,” he said to I Love LA creator Rachel Sennott while appearing in Variety’s Actors on Actors series. “I was like, ‘I think the show is in a great place without me.’ I never felt like I was that central to it to be honest.”
Bowen Yang says he left "SNL" because he "never felt central" to the show.
"I never played the dad or the straight-man teacher. I was always kind of there as the seasoning."
When Sennott said she disagreed with him, Yang continued on by saying that he was limited to certain roles. “I feel like there was a weird utility to me,” he said. “I never played like the dad or the straight man teacher. I was always there as the seasoning.”
Yang continued, saying that while he felt “lucky” to have a “steady job in comedy,” he also felt like it was the right time to exit. Yang departed after the first half of season 51, with his final appearance on Ariana Grande’s December 20, 2025 episode. He said that he was set to leave at the end of 50 but, due to high cast turnover and lots of new faces, SNL creator Lorne Michaels reached out to him personally and asked him to come back to help with stability.
“He was just like ‘Listen, you should come back. These are the people I’ve hired, it’s a lot of new kids. And the turnover is there. A lot of people left, a lot of people are coming in. You should be there to set an example for them, at least in the first half of the season,’” Yang recalled.
He continued, “It was the first time I felt, in my bones, someone who built this thing that made so many things possible for me, and for so many people, being like, ‘I need you.’ And I’m not going to turn that down.”
In the transition from season 50 to season 51, featured players Michael Longfellow, Devon Walker, and Emil Wakim were all given the boot, as well as main cast member Heidi Gardner. Shortly after Gardner’s exit was announced, Ego Nwodim announced she would be leaving as well.
Aside from SNL, Yang still has a major comedy career, with roles in both Wicked and Wicked: For Good and his podcast Las Culturistas creating viral moments seemingly every week.

Qween Jean made history at the 2026 Tony Awards as the first openly transgender person to win a Tony Award, taking home Best Costume Design of a Musical for her work onCats: The Jellicle Ball. The political activist and designer was also nominated in the Best Costume Design of a Play category for Liberation. She took home her award before the night's festivities and delivered an impassioned speech on stage.
"This experience has been monumental. We are here for the legacy of queer people, trans people," she said. "We are taking up space in ways we have to take up space. We have to shift the paradigm. So I just want to say, thank you all so much for this incredible honor. The world right now is deeply, deeply combating so many ailments, and we know as a society that when we come together, we can make real, permanent change."
"Pride is a protest. In this moment, we are seeing all across the city people, queer people, young folks, parents are being detained," Jean, who is also one of the founders of the Black Trans Liberation collective, said while on stage. "They are being at the Newark Delaney Facility, it not only needs to be shut down, but there needs to be serious investigation. The police cannot investigate the police. It doesn't make sense that billions are being poured into an institution of destruction when resources can be used to help people, can get them a lawyer, the human rights care they deserve."
She ended her speech saying. "As a queer person, a leader, a mother, I will never stand quiet. If any woman is in pain, even if her shackles are different from mine, let's get unshackled."
In addition to Jean, Omari Wiles and Arturo Lyons won the Tonys for Best Choreography for Cats: The Jellicle Ball.
At an intimate dinner last Thursday honoring Hayley Kiyoko and her new film Girls Like Girls, Kiyoko remarked, “This is the first event about me, which is exciting and uncomfortable.”
The dinner is part of a series hosted by Gold House in partnership with OpenTable that spotlights AANHPI individuals who are moving culture and treats them to a meal that pays tribute to their heritage.

Kiyoko — who was the Out100 Artist of the Year in 2022 and is the subject of a new Outdigital cover — is a queer music artist, actor, author, and now film director who has turned Girls Like Girls into a multi-medium universe. The hit song, turned book, and now film is Kiyoko’s debut feature as writer-director, cementing her as a bonafide multihyphenate who’s advancing culture with her artistry and queerness.
Making the film was an opportunity for Kiyoko to connect with her Japanese culture, one that leans conservative relating to LGBTQ+ issues. Speaking to the room at Rokusho, a Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles, Kiyoko shares, “This Girls Like Girls universe has been about me really learning how to embrace my culture and my heritage because so much of my life has been hiding my sexuality.”
Another connection to her upbringing and heritage came when she got news of where her film would shoot. “When I got the call that the movie was greenlit, they told me that we were gonna shoot in Kelowna, Canada.” Kiyoko then revealed, “Kelowna is actually where my Japanese grandparents are buried. They lived there and I grew up visiting them.”
Often as queer people, revisiting places from our childhoods is complicated since they carry memories of when we had to hide our true selves. With Kiyoko’s pilgrimage back to her grandparents’ home, she got to write a new story, and with it, create new memories there.
“There’s a scene in the movie where the two leads,” both young women in a romantic relationship, “are in a Japanese restaurant and that restaurant is the only Japanese restaurant in the town where my grandma used to take us. It’s so full circle to get to celebrate this moment with you guys.”
Girls Like Girls arrives in theaters June 19. Watch Kiyoko share how the film helped her reconnect with her Japanese heritage in the video below.
Kiyoko recently spoke with Out about turning her beloved queer anthem into a feature film, describing Girls Like Girls as the culmination of a decade-long journey toward embracing her identity and telling unapologetically queer stories.

The multi-talented singer, dancer, and actress has carved her own lane in the entertainment industry, but she knows the LGBTQ+ community has helped her get to where she is today.
After headlining WorldPride in Washington, D.C. alongside Troye Sivan in 2025, Lopez says her priorities in her life and career changed once she focused her energy on her passionate queer supporters.
"I played Pride last year and it was, honestly, I felt like the beginning of the new chapter of my life. The LGBTQ+ community, for me, has always been a loyal and big part of my fanbase. Everything I do, as I'm doing it, I'm thinking about you," Lopez tells Out.
In fact, Lopez jokes that she worries if the gays will enjoy any of her new music or shows once she decides to tackle a new project.
"I'm like, 'Are the gays going to love this? It has to be more cunty! It has to be all the things or else the gays are not going to love it.' If you don't love it, then what is it even for?"
The gorgeous movie star is definitely giving the gays something new to enjoy as Pride Month kicks off with her new Netflix rom-com Office Romance. In the film, Lopez portrays a powerful CEO who falls in love in a scandalous relationship with the company's lawyer, played by Brett Goldstein.
Whether on the stage or screen, Lopez is never afraid to serve up some serious sex appeal and Office Romance is no different. Not only does she show some skin in the spicy film, but Goldstein also strips down in the office.
"I forget how much skin is in this film until we watched it at the premiere! It was literally my dream to make this film. When we made it, I couldn't believe how fun it was. She's a phenomenal actress. She's really underrated as an actor. I loved working with her," Goldstein says.
"We had such a good time. We had really good chemistry. The movie is so funny and so romantic. I'm excited for people to see it! We couldn't have been luckier," Lopez adds.
Office Romance premieres today on Netflix. To see the full interview with Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein, check out the video at the top of the page.
