Goldie Hawn is fully owning up to one of Meryl Streep’s biggest complaints about working with her. And honestly, she is not even denying it. After Streep recently joked that Hawn was “always late” while filming the cult classic Death Becomes Her, Hawn has now responded with a hilarious confession of her own. “I think I’m 15 minutes late to everything. I do,” Hawn admitted during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“I mean, honestly, it’s unbelievable.”

The two actresses famously starred opposite each other in the 1992 dark comedy alongside Bruce Willis, playing bitter rivals obsessed with youth, beauty, and immortality.

But behind the scenes, apparently one of them was significantly more punctual than the other.

Streep first brought up Hawn’s lateness while reflecting on her career in a recent Vanity Fair interview ahead of The Devil Wears Prada 2.

“Goldie, she was always late to set, but she was so adorable,” Streep said.

“And I’m always on time, you know, and annoying.”

Streep even remembered Hawn arriving in her red convertible with messy hair while apologizing to the crew.

“She’s like, ‘Oh gosh, sorry!’ And everybody thought, ‘Oh, she’s so cute,’” Streep joked.

Despite the frustration, Streep made it very clear there was never actual bad blood between them.

“I had a beef with her, but I loved her. I love her. She’s one of my buddies,” she added.

Now Hawn is responding with the exact kind of energy fans would expect from her.

“We got through that,” Hawn joked, before explaining that the disagreement eventually became a running joke between the two stars over the years.

“She said I was too late on the set. Maybe she’s too early. I don’t know.”

Honestly, that might be the most Goldie Hawn response possible. Hawn then hilariously defended herself by suggesting punctual people might actually be the problem sometimes.

“Sometimes when you’re too early, you’re still waiting for somebody and you think, ‘Oh God, where the hell is she?’”

The internet, of course, absolutely loves this entire story.

Fans online have been calling the exchange “peak Goldie and Meryl energy,” with many saying the actresses perfectly match the chaotic rivalry they portrayed in Death Becomes Her. Others joked that Streep being hyper-organized while Hawn casually arrives late with glamorous messy hair somehow feels exactly like their real-life personalities.

Even after more than three decades, fans still consider Death Becomes Her one of the most iconic female-led cult comedies ever made.

The film has only grown more beloved over time, especially among younger audiences discovering it through streaming and viral social media clips.

And honestly, hearing stories like this somehow makes the movie even better.

Despite the occasional lateness drama, the actresses remained close friends long after filming wrapped.

In fact, Hawn even honored Streep during her American Film Institute Life Achievement Award ceremony back in 2004.

“I love you, baby! Way to go,” Hawn told her during the tribute.

So while Meryl Streep may still be waiting on Goldie Hawn to show up on time somewhere, their friendship clearly survived the chaos just fine.

Ted Turner, the media mogul who built CNN and helped reshape global television, has died at 87. His death was confirmed by Turner Enterprises, according to reports from Variety, CNN, Reuters, AP and People. Turner had revealed in 2018 that he was living with Lewy body dementia, a brain disorder that affects memory and other cognitive functions. Turner was not just another television executive. He was one of the rare figures who changed the way the world consumed news. When he launched CNN in 1980, the idea of a 24-hour news channel seemed risky, even unrealistic. 

But within a decade, CNN became a global force, especially during the 1991 Gulf War, when viewers around the world watched major history unfold live on television. Before CNN, Turner had already helped pioneer national cable television through TBS, turning a struggling Atlanta station into a “superstation” carried by satellite into millions of homes. He later created TNT and Turner Classic Movies, using his massive film library after acquiring MGM.

His influence stretched far beyond news. Turner owned the Atlanta Braves, who won the World Series in 1995 during his ownership era. He was also an accomplished yachtsman, winning the 1977 America’s Cup and earning the nickname “Captain Outrageous.”

But Turner’s legacy is not only about media power. He became one of America’s most visible philanthropists, donating $1 billion to create the United Nations Foundation and supporting causes including nuclear disarmament, climate change, public health and conservation.

His life was also marked by personal complexity. He was outspoken, impulsive and often controversial, earning the nickname “Mouth of the South.” He was married three times, including to actress Jane Fonda, and had five children.

Turner’s career had dramatic highs and painful losses. His 1996 sale of Turner Broadcasting to Time Warner made him even richer, but the later AOL Time Warner merger cost him billions and eventually pushed him out of the company he helped build.

Still, his impact is impossible to separate from modern media. Every breaking news alert, every live crisis broadcast, every 24-hour news cycle owes something to the world Turner imagined.

Ted Turner did not just build channels. He built the speed of modern television.

The strong start has already boosted confidence. The Devil Wears Prada 2 opened with a massive $76.7 million debut, while Michael continued dominating in its second weekend with another $54.4 million. Together, the market delivered the second-best start to a summer movie season since the pandemic. Industry experts say audiences are clearly still willing to show up for movies that feel like major events. And this summer has no shortage of them.

Among the biggest releases are Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, Toy Story 5, The Mandalorian and Grogue and Supergirl.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is already generating huge hype, especially after IMAX 70mm screenings reportedly sold out nearly a year in advance. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to become one of the summer’s biggest titles when it arrives at the end of July.

But despite the optimism, the report also points out a growing issue inside Hollywood. Studios are releasing fewer major movies than they used to.

While there are technically 57 wide releases scheduled this summer, only around 34 of them are considered major studio-backed titles with serious marketing campaigns behind them. Analysts believe studios have become increasingly dependent on giant event films carrying the entire season.

“There’s an audience for every single one of these films, but they have to be made aware of them,” Greenlight Analytics CEO Bill Skelly said.

The article also notes that younger audiences simply do not attend theaters as frequently as previous generations did, while rising ticket and concession prices continue frustrating regular moviegoers.

Still, there is hope that strong theatrical experiences can bring audiences back.

One of the more unusual examples this year is Backrooms, an upcoming A24 horror project based on the viral internet urban legend that exploded across YouTube, Reddit and Roblox culture. The report suggests the movie could become this summer’s surprise breakout hit thanks to its massive online fanbase. At the center of it all is one major question.

Can Hollywood rebuild a healthy theatrical market with fewer movies, or are audiences only showing up now for giant franchise-level events? This summer may finally provide the answer.

Melissa Barrera is speaking honestly about what happened after her Hollywood career nearly came to a halt. The actress, best known for Scream, Scream VI and In the Heights, was fired from Scream 7 in 2023 after posting about Gaza and criticizing the Israeli government’s actions. Spyglass said at the time that it had “zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate,” while Barrera denied being antisemitic and said she was speaking for peace, human rights and civilian safety.  

Now, in a new Variety interview, Barrera says the fallout was brutal. She claims offers disappeared for nearly a year and that many people in the industry sent private support, but very few took action publicly.  

According to Barrera, the person who finally helped shift things was filmmaker Boots Riley, who reached out months later with an offer for his film I Love Boosters. She says that moment felt like a turning point because soon after, more offers began appearing.  

Barrera is currently starring as Rose in the Broadway musical Titaníque, which received four Tony nominations this year. The role has given her a very different kind of stage than Hollywood. She says theater has brought her peace, purpose and a community that feels more open about politics and art.  

She also reflected on Scream 7, saying fans still bring Scream items for her to sign at the stage door. Barrera said the franchise will always be part of her story, even if the firing changed her relationship with the industry.

The actress also criticized the new film’s direction, calling it “nostalgia-bait” and questioning its reported box office numbers, though Variety noted that the $207 million worldwide total was independently verified.  

What stands out most is that Barrera is not presenting this as a clean comeback story. She says she is still blocked from certain spaces and believes the backlash has not fully disappeared.

But she is also moving forward. She is starting a production company, building a slate of projects and says she wants to work with artists who share her values. For Barrera, this next phase is not just about getting hired again. It is about having more control over what happens next.

A federal judge has released what is being described as an alleged suicide note connected to Jeffrey Epstein years after the disgraced financier’s death inside a New York jail. The handwritten document surfaced as part of a criminal case involving Epstein’s former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione, according to TMZ. The note had reportedly remained sealed until now.

In the alleged note, the writer says:

“They investigated me for months — FOUND NOTHING!!!”

The document also references “15 or 16 year old charges” and includes statements about being able to “choose one’s time to say goodbye.”

Another line in the note reads:

“Watcha want me to do — Bust out cryin! NO FUN — NOT WORTH IT!!”

According to reports, Tartaglione claimed he discovered the note in July 2019 after Epstein was found unresponsive in his jail cell following an apparent suicide attempt.

Epstein did not die at that time. However, weeks later, he was found dead inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on August 10, 2019. His death was officially ruled a suicide by hanging, though the circumstances surrounding it sparked years of public scrutiny, speculation, and conspiracy theories.

The release of the alleged note has once again reignited online debate surrounding Epstein’s death and the events leading up to it. At this time, the document has not been authenticated, and there is no official confirmation that Epstein personally wrote the note.

Jeffrey Epstein was facing federal sex trafficking charges at the time of his death and had long been accused of abusing and trafficking underage girls. His connections to powerful figures in politics, business, entertainment, and royalty made the case one of the most high-profile criminal scandals in modern history.

Years later, public interest in the Epstein case remains intense, especially as new court documents, testimonies, and previously sealed materials continue to emerge.

We are attaching the alleged note below.
