The first trailer has arrived for All’s Fair, promising scandal, drama and whodunnit chaos.

Set to premiere this fall on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (UK), the Ryan Murphy-created legal drama follows a group of female lawyers who leave their male-dominated law firm to open a “powerhouse” practice.

As per the synopsis: “Fierce, brilliant, and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting allegiances—both in the courtroom and within their own ranks. In a world where money talks and love is a battleground, these women don’t just play the game—they change it.”

All’s Fair is set to bring together an array of stars from the Ryan Murphy TV universe, including Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash-Betts, Kim Kardashian, and Naomi Watts.

The series is also set to feature Hollywood iconGlenn Close, Teyana Taylor and Matthew Noszka.

In the trailer, Allura Grant (Kardashian), Emerald Greene (Nash-Betts) and Liberty Ronson (Watts) are sitting in a conference room before the former asks their client, Dee Barber (Elizabeth Berkley), to take “a deep breath” and tell them her story.

“It’s been a lot. I’m sorry,” Dee says, resulting in Liberty exclaiming, “No, no. We don’t meet with sorry people.”

As the trailer progresses, the iconic ‘Cell Block Tango’ from Broadway’s Chicago plays in the background while clips of the ladies and their glamorous yet complicated lives flash across the screen.

“He hurt you. Get mad, get hot. Get revenge!” Dina Standish (Close) exclaims.

In addition to teasing the series’ intricate storylines, the trailer promises backstabbing, witty dialogue, stunning outfits, twists, turns, and hot, shirtless men.

While an exact release date for All’s Fair has not been announced, the trailer has generated plenty of buzz on social media.

“This show was quite LITERALLY made for me holy shit,” one person on X/Twitter wrote.

Another viewer commented: “Will subscribe to Disney+ again for this.”

A third pop culture enthusiast tweeted: “I know this is a Ryan Murphy production, so I shouldn’t be surprised, but god, this cast is CAMP.”

Anna Camp, Pitch Perfect and You icon, has confirmed that she’s dating a woman!

In a video posted by TikTok star Mr.Big.USA, who approaches people out in the wild to ask them a variety of questions, Camp and a woman named Jade Whipkey reflected on their worst-ever dates.

Camp revealed that she once waited 45 minutes for her date, who then found it extremely necessary to share that he found her “prettier in a movie than I was in person”. Meanwhile, Whipkey hilariously reminisced on a date who constantly referred to her as “f**ker”.

The conversation prompted Mr.Big.USA to ask the duo what they expect from a man on a first date. Camp responded with a laugh: “I don’t expect anything, not anymore, because I’m dating a woman, and it’s great.”

Whipkey agreed, “Nothing! I’d rather [Camp] not, like, be on the date.”

@mr.big.usa What was your Worst Date? . . . #datingadvice #funnytiktok #streetinterview #datingmen #creatorsearchinsights ♬ original sound – Mr.Big.USA

Although the video was originally posted on 12 February, it only began circulating widely on social media over the past week.

Camp recently shared an Instagram Story with Whipkey, captioned “Date Night”. And, on 12 May, Whipkey posted a photo of Camp enjoying candlelit drinks, writing: “Her smile is a poem. Her eyes are roses. Her laugh is music for dancing.”

Camp is best-known for her roles as Sarah Newlin in True Blood (2009-2014), Aubrey Posen in the Pitch Perfect franchise (2012-2017) and as Reagan and Maddie Lockwood in the final season of You (2025).

Her performance in the latter Netflix series was universally acclaimed, and Camp was often praised as the season’s breakout star.

Her next two film projects are Bride Hard, an action comedy that reunites her with Pitch Perfect co-star Rebel Wilson, and the horror-slasher Scream 7, which also stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Isabel May and Joel McHale.

The Drag Race franchise has introduced a new Pit Crew member, and fans are going wild.

On 9 May, All Stars 10 finally made its highly anticipated premiere on Paramount Plus in the US and WOW Presents Plus in the UK.

Unlike past entries, the new season features 18 queens competing for the crown, $200,000 and a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame instead of the usual 12.

The fierce lineup is as follows: Acid Betty (season 8), Aja (season 9, All Stars 3), Alyssa Hunter (season 14), Bosco (season 14), Cynthia Lee Fontaine (season 8, 9), Daya Betty (season 14), Deja Skye (season 14), Denali (season 13) and Ginger Minj (season 7, All Stars 2, 6).

More gag-worthy star power incoming: Irene the Alien (season 15), Jorgeous (season 14, All Stars 9), Kerri Colby (season 14), Lydia B Kollins (season 17), Mistress Isabelle Brooks (season 15), Nicole Paige Brooks (season 2), Olivia Lux (season 13), Phoenix (season 3) and Tina Burner (season 13).

While the double premiere brought back a slew of fan-favourite queens, it also introduced viewers to a brand new Pit Crew member, Manuel Kornisuik.

The handsome hunk made his first appearance – alongside veterans Bryce and Bruno – in episode two during the Front Roll mini-challenge.

Of course, it didn’t take long for viewers to flock to social media to share their hilarious and relatable reactions to Manuel.

“Good god. I wonder how does it feel to look like that?” one person on Reddit wrote.

Another viewer commented: “He made me look away from Bruno for a split second.”

A third person wrote: “Hey Manuel… I’m so Into You.”

While Manuel recently debuted in the Drag Race world, he is no stranger to the limelight.

Hailing from Argentina, the dreamy talent has curated a successful career as a model and social media personality, amassing nearly 300,000 followers on Instagram alone.

He has also flexed his acting chops in the 2023 LGBTQ+ film The Winner Takes It All.

Lastly, Manuel has crafted a lane in the music sphere as an emerging singer-songwriter, going by the stage name Manúk.

In a January interview with DAMAN Magazine, the handsome talent opened up about his career journey and passion for the arts.

“I enjoy any artistic expression, It’s super different, and you get to know yourself from various angles. However, music has always been a deep passion of mine. It brings me immense joy,” he told the publication.

We can’t wait to see more of Manuel in All Stars 10 and the wider Drag Race franchise.

Drag Race star Phoenix has clapped back at Ice Spice’s candid critique on All Stars 10.

In the first episode of the double premiere, the first bracket of queens – Irene the Alien, Deja Skye, Olivia Lux, Aja, Phoenix and Bosco – were tasked with writing and recording original verses for the ‘Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner’ music video.

After coming up with their lyrics and learning the choreography from Jamal Sims, the group went on to film the visual – delivering unique and electric 80s metal-inspired performances.

While most of the queens were praised for their work in the challenge, Phoenix received encouraging critiques from Michelle Visage and Ross Matthews to open up more.

However, the judging took a somewhat awkward turn when guest judge Ice Spice delivered a blunt opinion on the Atlanta-based queen’s performance.

“I hear you’re a legendary icon, but tonight, I don’t think I would have been able to tell with how shy you were,” the rapper said.

Shortly after the episode’s release, fans flocked to social media to share their reactions to Ice Spice’s critique.

“The critique Ice Spice had for Phoenix stopped me in my tracks omg slow down,” one viewer on X/Twitter wrote.

Another fan on Reddit commented: “She came off as mean, but she unfortunately wasn’t wrong. That doesn’t make Phoenix any less of a legend tho.”

A third person added: “I’m glad she gave an honest critique. I even think she attempted to deliver it in a delicate way. I think it came across as colder because of how monotone it was, but also, no one expected it. But it really wasn’t super harsh, just surprising really.”

However, fans weren’t the only ones who shared their honest reactions to Ice Spice’s critique.

On 10 May, Phoenix addressed the gagworthy moment on her Instagram story, writing: “I appreciate the love from everyone about the Ice Spice comment! I’ll comment more and tell the funny part about this later.

“But TRUST ME WHEN I SAY! My 25 years of experience and decades of contributing to my community is what makes me an ICON! Not 3 minutes on a TV show… That being said, I’m perfectly fine not getting “icon” validation from someone who’s “fame” has come from 1 song about shitting and farting.”

As of writing, Ice Spice has not responded to Phoenix’s post.

The All Stars 10 double premiere ended with Aja, Bosco and Irene as the frontrunners, earning three and four points, respectively. At the same time, Deja, Olivia and Phoenix scored one point each through the MVQ (Most Valuable Queen) voting process.

On their final episode as a six-person bracket, the queens will be tasked with transforming “red hot hoopsters into their very own drag sisters.”

All Stars 10 has made its highly anticipated double premiere, and fans are already predicting that it’s one of the “best seasons” in the franchise.

*Warning* major spoilers ahead

After weeks of anticipation, fans were finally treated to the first two episodes of the tenth season of the popular spin-off series.

Unlike past entries, All Stars 10 takes on an entirely new format, with 18 queens competing for the crown, $200,000 and a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall of Fame instead of the usual 12.

The fierce lineup is as follows: Acid Betty (season 8), Aja (season 9, All Stars 3), Alyssa Hunter (season 14), Bosco (season 14), Cynthia Lee Fontaine (season 8, 9), Daya Betty (season 14), Deja Skye (season 14), Denali (season 13) and Ginger Minj (season 7, All Stars 2, 6).

More gag-worthy star power incoming: Irene the Alien (season 15), Jorgeous (season 14, All Stars 9), Kerri Colby (season 14), Lydia B Kollins (season 17), Mistress Isabelle Brooks (season 15), Nicole Paige Brooks (season 2), Olivia Lux (season 13), Phoenix (season 3) and Tina Burner (season 13).

In addition to featuring a gargantuan lineup, All Stars 10 sees the 18 queens split into three groups of six, each competing in their own bracket across three episodes.

For the double premiere, the first group up to the plate was the orange bracket, consisting of Aja, Irene, Deja, Phoenix, Bosco, and Olivia.

After strutting down the runway in their entrance looks, Ru broke down the rules for All Stars 10, revealing that none of the ladies would be eliminated in the preliminary rounds. Instead, they would be competing for points.

“At the end of this three-episode bracket, the three all stars with the most points from this bracket will advance to the semi-finals, where you will face off against the top three all stars from the other brackets,” Ru explained.

“Here’s how the point system works. Every week, the top two queens will receive two points each, and those two queens will lip sync for the win. The winner of the lip sync will receive an extra point plus a cash tip of $10,000. But wait, there is more… an additional four points will be awarded each episode, but more on that later.”

After going over the intricate point system, Mama Ru tasked the queens with their first maxi-challenge of the season – writing, recording and performing in the music video for ‘Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner.’

With their task in hand, the queens made their way to the werkroom to dissect the new tournament format, kiki with one another, and, of course, get out of drag.

“In three weeks bitch only half of us move on to the semi-final. Baby, this is not junior varsity; it’s giving varsity down boots,” Olivia said in a confessional.

After getting into comfortable attire, the ladies got to work on their verses for the Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner music video.

Irene expressed excitement about participating in the challenge because she went home first during her season.  

“When I found out we were doing this, I was really, really excited,” she told Aja, who followed up by asking what the former was going to write.

“I didn’t get to show a lot on season 15, so sort of about making sure that I’m not a forgetful filler queen.”

While Irene was excited, Deja was a bit more reserved, revealing to Phoenix that she was nervous. On the other side of the workroom, Olivia and Bosco oozed confidence, with the former exclaiming that she felt really good about executing the challenge.

Bosco echoed similar sentiments, adding that the metal music video is in her wheelhouse because she is “kind of a heavy metal stripper.”

As usual, RuPaul dropped by the workroom to get tea on the queens’ ideas, give helpful wisdom, and share some laughs.

After fine-tuning their lyrics, the orange bracket made their way to the stage to learn their choreography for the music video, with longstanding Drag Race personality and acclaimed choreographer Jamal Sims.

During rehearsals, Aja, Bosco, and Deja effortlessly grasped the choreography, while Irene, Olivia and Phoenix struggled to fully come out of their shells.

The next day, the queens returned to the workroom to prepare for the main stage and the premiere of the ‘Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner’ music video.

While most of the queens were confident about their performances in the challenge, Phoenix didn’t feel the same.

“I’m shitting bricks. I don’t want to repeat season 3 again. You know, I’m trying not to get in my head, but it’s happening. I can feel it happening,” she said in a confessional.

“This is not how I want week one to go. In order for me to win this challenge, I really need to not be my worst enemy. I hope it’s all going to come out the way it’s supposed to.”

After a comedic and somewhat tense battle of the words between Irene and Aja, the queens headed to the mainstage to show off their ‘Slits and Tits’ runway ensembles before debuting their Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner music video.

Unsurprisingly, each of the ladies showcased metal rock realness, delivering unique and creative verses that gagged Ru and the judges’ panel.

However, with All Stars rules in full effect, only two queens could land in the top two.

Following the judges’ critiques, Ru announced Aja and Irene as the top contestants, earning them both two points.

The pair were then tasked with performing a lip sync for the win to Ice Spice’s ‘Think You The Shit, Fart.’

Amid the hard-hitting beats, Aja and Irene laid it all out on the stage, delivering creative choreography, comedic moments and charisma galore.

Ultimately, Aja was named the winner, earning her a cash tip of $10,000 and an extra point.

Following the lip sync, Ru called Bosco, Deja, Phoenix and Olivia back to the main stage before joking that one of them was standing on a trap door.

Ru then revealed how the four extra point twist would work, explaining that each bottom queen would receive a point to give to another competitor they think is the MVQ (the Most Valuable Queen of the Week).

In episode two, the bottom four queens divvied out their respective points.

Fortunately, the process was drama-free, with Bosco and Phoenix giving each other their points and Deja and Olivia following suit.

The six queens were then tasked with their first mini-challenge, playing Front Roll on three Pit Crew members: Manuel, Bryce and Bruno.

“Your goal is to roll softballs up the tanned and brawny chest of the pit crew. But here’s the catch… no hands,” Ru explained.

After getting consent from the pit crew, the ladies hilariously went to work. In the end, Irene won the mini-challenge and a cash tip of $2,500.

After putting away their softballs, Ru tasked the queens with their second maxi challenge, starring in the mystery improv Murder on the Dancefloor.

“Now, without a script, you need to create entertaining characters, but remember that anything you say can and will be used against you tomorrow on the main stage,” Ru explained.

Unlike other seasons, the girls landed the parts they wanted without drama.

Despite some of the queens being nervous about their improv skills, they all put their best foot forward, delivering hilarious performances alongside Ru as Inspector Poussay and Carson Kressley, Captain Shtooping and Michelle Visage as Vichelle Massage.

After walking down the runway in their best ‘Coming and Going’ ensembles, Ru and the judges’ panel, including guest judge Colman Domingo, shared their critiques.

Irene, Bosco and Deja were praised for their performances, while Olivia, Aja and Phoenix failed to capture the judges fully.

Ultimately, Ru named Irene and Bosco as the top two queens of the week, resulting in them lip syncing to Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s ‘Murder on the Dance Floor.’

The two queens didn’t disappoint, delivering passion, disco realness, and sickening ruveals. However, Bosco conquered the lip sync, winning $10,000 and earning an additional point.

The first trailer for The Old Guard 2 has finally arrived, promising even more twists and turns than its predecessor.

Set to be released on 2 July on Netflix, the upcoming film follows a newly mortal Andy (Charlize Theron) and her team of mercenaries as they battle a new threat against humanity.

The official synopsis reads: “Andy and her team of immortal warriors are back, with a renewed sense of purpose in their mission to protect the world.

“With Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts) still in exile after his betrayal, and Quynh (Vân Veronica Ngô) out for revenge after escaping her underwater prison, Andy grapples with her newfound mortality as a mysterious threat emerges that could jeopardise everything she’s worked towards for thousands of years.

“Andy, Nile (Kiki Layne), Joe (Marwan Kenzari), Nicky (Luca Marinelli), and James Copley (Chiwetel Ejiofor), enlist the help of Tuah (Henry Goulding), an old friend who may provide the key to unlocking the mystery behind immortal existence.”

On 8 May, Netflix finally blessed fans with the first trailer for The Old Guard 2.

At the start of the exciting teaser, Andy reflects on her mortality, telling Nile she’s finally at peace.

However, Andy and her friends’ harmonious existence doesn’t last long due to the return of the villainous Discord (Uma Thurman), the first of the immortals.

“For centuries, I watched you fight to protect humanity. While forsaking your own kind. I will destroy you and everything you stand for with a power you can’t even imagine yet,” Discord menacingly states.

In addition to their battle against Discord, the team must deal with the return of Quynh, who’s free from her underwater prison and on a quest for vengeance.

In an interview with Netflix’s Tudum, Theron teased that The Old Guard 2 will have “something for everyone.”

“Fans who loved the first film, fans who loved the original graphic novels – and brand-new fans who are looking for insane action, grounded and relatable characters, gorgeous locations, and a global cast of superstars,” she said.

“We’re going to meet some brand new characters. Andy and her warriors are back with a renewed sense of purpose. The stakes are even higher now that Anndy is mortal and can die – but that certainly won’t keep her out of the action.”

In a separate interview with Tudum, screenwriter and creator of the original comic Greg Rucka echoed similar sentiments while teasing the motives of the film’s characters this time around.

“We come into The Old Guard 2 with Andy on a mission, and one of the questions the second film raises is the legitimacy of that mission,” he explained.

“What I find most fascinating about these immortal characters is that fundamentally, they all face the same questions we do: What am I doing here? What is the purpose of my life.”

The Old Guard 2 comes five years after the first film’s release, which received widespread acclaim for its immersive plot, Theron’s leading performance and the groundbreaking same-sex storyline between Kenzari and Marinelli’s characters, Joe and Nicky.

Leo Woodall and Sebastian Stan are teaming up for a new gay drama.

According to Deadline, The White Lotus actor and Thunderbolts star are set to play a couple in Justin Kurzel’s upcoming project, Burning Rainbow Farm.

Based on Dean Kuiper’s book of the same name, the film explores the true story of Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm, a gay couple based in rural Southwest Michigan who run a pot-friendly paradise called Rainbow Farm.

However, when the lovebirds “run afoul of local authorities and their young son is taken from them,” their once joyous campground becomes the centre of one of “the largest and most dramatic sieges American has ever seen.”

Stan has signed on to play Tom Crosslin, while Woodall is portraying Rollie Rohm.

In a statement, Kurzel expressed excitement for the upcoming film and collaborating with its two stars.

“Burning Rainbow is a love story about two outliers who raise their middle finger to hate and declare ‘This is who we are, and we dare you to take it from us,” he said. “I’m excited to create this lovable and courageous couple with Sebastian and Leo, their union will be one to remember.”

In addition to Kurzel, Burning Rainbow Farm will be produced by Thirdborn’s Nicole O’Donohue, Alexandra Taussig, Adam Shulman from Anonymous Content, Alix Madigan from Mad Dog Films and Justin Lothrop and Brent Stiefel from Votiv.

A release date and additional casting information for the forthcoming drama have not been announced as of this writing.

However, the aforementioned news outlet reported that CAA Media Finance has been tapped to handle North American Distribution rights. At the same time, Rocket Science will introduce the film to international buyers at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival – taking place between 13 May and 24 May.

Woodall memorably rose to fame as an uncle-fucked in the second season of The White Lotus, before gaining worldwide recognition and acclaim as Dexter Mayhew in Netflix’s adaptation of One Day.

He also made his major film debut this year as Renee Zellweger’s new love interest in Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and recently earned rave reviews for his role as queer math graduate student Edward Brooks in Apple TV’s Prime Target.

Stan is best known to audiences for his dynamic work as James “Bucky” Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, first appearing in Captain America: The First Avenger.

In addition to his longstanding role in the Marvel film and TV sector, he has earned critical acclaim for his roles in I, Tonya, Pam & Tommy, A Different Man and The Apprentice, with the latter earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.

Stay tuned for more updates about Burning Rainbow Farm.

The post Media mogul Barry Diller publicly comes out as gay at 83-years-old appeared first on GAY TIMES.

The husband of fashion icon Diane von Fürstenberg, Barry Diller, has publicly come out as gay for the first time. 

On 6 May, New York Magazine published an excerpt from the tech billionaire’s upcoming memoir Who Knew – which peeled back the curtains on his sexuality and longtime romantic relationship with Diane.

“While there have been a good many men in my life, there has only ever been one woman, and she didn’t come into my life until I was 33 years old,” he wrote.

“There are many complex aspects of my relationship with Diane von Fürstenberg: romantic love and deep respect, companionship and world adventuring, then disappointment, and separation, and finally marriage.”

Diller went on to say that he “never questioned” his sexuality’s “basic authority” over his life, adding that he was only afraid of the reaction of others.

“And when my romance with Diane began, I never questioned that its biological imperative was as strong in its heterosexuality as its opposite had been. When it happened, my initial response was, ‘Who knew?'” he continued.

“I’m well aware that this part of my life has caused confusion and lots of speculation. A relationship that began with indifference, then exploded into a romance as natural to us as breathing, surprised us and everyone else. It really is the miracle of my life.”

Diller went on to give insight into his first meeting with Diane in 1974 – who was married to Prince Egon Von Fürstenberg at the time.

Describing the fashion icon as oblivious and dismissive, the former movie exec recalled being confident that he would never meet her again.

However, that changed when Diller was invited to a party celebrating his close friend and agent to the stars Sue Mengers, which Diane was ironically hosting.

A post shared by Diane von Furstenberg (@therealdvf)

Before diving into his second meeting with his now wife, Diller opened up about his extensive and private dating life with men, revealing his first same sex experiences started in his teenage years, “street cruising in West Hollywood.”

“The subterfuge continued into my 20s, save one Fourth of July weekend when a guy I had met invited me to join him on Fire Island. Since I had never been in any kind of ghetto (other than a rich one), I wasn’t prepared for a place that was all guys, all the time,” he wrote.

“I had so much early career success you might have thought I’d conquered what I saw as the biggest danger in my developing life. I’d conquered other phobias, but fear of exposure still had a tyrannical hold on me, so much so that it stunted any chance of my having a fulfilling personal life.”

Diller went on to say that he locked away anything related to his sexuality, adding that he became so successful at compartmentalising his feelings that it “both ruled and riled his life ever since.”

“I never discussed my personal life, lowlight as it was, with anyone. Even though as the years went on, I began to be realistic and understood that ‘everyone knows,’ I never wanted to make any declarations,” he continued.

A post shared by Diane von Furstenberg (@therealdvf)

“So many of us at that time were in this exiled state, so stunted in the way we lived. I hated having to live a pretend life, one that was totally silent on all topics normal people talked about with each other. Of course, I could have declared my sexuality, come out as some others were doing, but I was among the many at the time who were too scared to do so.”

Since coming out wasn’t an option for Diller, he created and followed a unique “bill of rights” that allowed him to live within a blurred line. 

Some of the rules included never bringing a man to a heterosexual event or never doing anything that would make anyone believe he was living a heterosexual life, like having a “beard”.

“It wasn’t courage – it was simply the minimum conditions of my conduct, and I recognise it now as the opposite of courage,” Diller explained.

With his bill of rights firmly cemented in his brain, Diller attended Sue’s party.

However, his life was turned upside down when he met Diane again. Instead of having a dismissive attitude, Diller said the beloved fashion designer greeted him with a “dazzling smile”.

“As we walked, we made little asides to each other, and then, like in the gym scene from West Side Story when everyone else fades away and Tony and Maria are left along, Diane and I found our way to a sofa, far away from the rest, and we stayed there for a long time,” he said.

“There was a glow around us that was setting off sparks, accurately described by the French as a coup de foudre. Flushed and completely discombobulated, I said, ‘I’ve got to go,’ and she walked me to the door.”

Their second meeting proved to be life-changing for Diller, who recounted their passionate escapades and the start of their official romantic relationship.

The 83-year-old also revealed that he initially kept his romance with Diane private because he didn’t know how to define it properly. However, despite staying under the radar, people began to notice that they had a profound and emotional connection.

“People started saying, ‘Huh’ What is it with this person? We thought he liked only men,'” he wrote.

Towards the end of the excerpt, Diller shut down the reports, labelling him and Diane as close friends.

“We weren’t just friends. We aren’t just friends. Plain and simple, it was an explosion of passion that kept up for years. And, yes, I also liked guys, but that was not a conflict with my love for Diane,” he said.

Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans take centre stage in the first raunchy, action-packed trailer for Honey Don’t!

Set in Bakersfield, California, the Ethan Coen-directed film follows Honey O’Donahue (Qualley), a “small-town private investigator who delves into a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church” and its charismatic leader (Evans).

In addition to Qualley, Evans and Plaza, the upcoming project stars Charlie Day, Billy Eichner, Talia Ryder, Gabby Beans, Lera Abova, Kristen Connolly and Lena Hall.

The film is labelled as the second entry in Coen and his wife Tricia Cooke’s “lesbian B-movie trilogy”, which kicked off with 2024’s Drive Away Dolls.

On 7 May, film enthusiasts were finally treated to the first trailer for Honey Don’t! – which gave an exhilarating sneak peek into the film’s comedic, queer and chaotic storyline.

At the start of the teaser, Honey walks down an empty hallway in the Bakersfield Police Department before arriving at the evidence locker, which is run by an officer named MG (Plaza).

“Is that the address you wanted?Plaza’s character says, resulting in Honey replying: “Thanks MG.”

The sexual tension between the two characters gets thicker when MG asks: “Honey right? Love those click-clacking heels.”

The trailer then transitions to Honey arriving at the crime scene of a woman named Mia Novotny, who was found stabbed to death and stuffed in an overturned car.

While investigating the area, she finds a ring with an ominous-looking cross in the centre. The suspicious find results in Honey travelling to the church, where she witnesses the group’s leader, Priest Dean (Evans), conducting a sermon.

However, despite his religious position, Dean is far from a holy servant, with the next scene showing him having a threesome with two women. As the trailer progresses, Honey digs deeper into Mia Novotny’s disappearance and death.

“She was afraid of something the cops couldn’t help her with. I said I’d help, Honey says before it transitions to her finding a church robe and BDSM attire under Mia’s bed.

The end of the trailer teases a sapphic romance/team-up between Honey and MG, as well as lots of murder, violence and dark comedic moments.

Naturally, the teaser was a hit with fans, with one person on X/Twitter writing: “Honey Don’t trailer’s out, and my life suddenly has a meaning again.

Another viewer tweeted: “THIS IS FOR REAL NOW THAT HONEY DON’T TRAILER IS OUT NOW! THIS IS NOT A DRILL ANYMORE!”

Fortunately, moviegoers won’t have to wait too long for the release of Honey Don’t!

After its world premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival this month (May), it will be released in the US on 22 August. As of writing, an international release date for Honey Don’t! has not been announced.

In a recent interview with i-d, Qualley opened up about the upcoming film and how she tapped into the role of the titular Honey.

Instead of embracing her “natural Scooby-Doo inclinations,” The Substance star told the publication that she tapped into a “more suave and more mysterious” persona.

“I tend to want to diffuse things before they even happen. [Whereas] Honey, she’s like honey – she’s skilful, she’s smooth, she is slipping in and out undetected, “Qualley explained.

Rising J-pop group f5ve have released an infectious collaboration with Kesha to coincide with the release of their long-awaited debut album.

Titled ‘Sugar Free Venom’, the high-energy, glossy dance banger celebrates female liberation and unapologetic confidence, with the quintet urging the listener to “hit the floor” and “get independent”.

In the accompanying video, f5ve transport their fans to a dreamy pink and purple nightclub, paying homage to iconic music videos such as ‘Buttons’ by The Pussycat Dolls, ‘Check on It’ by Beyoncé and ‘Pink Champagne’ by E-girls.

Kesha was presumably unavailable for the music video, with her vocals appearing only via a television screen, though she makes a hilarious cameo through archival footage of her singing ‘Die Young’ on a Tokyo subway in 2012.

‘Sugar Free Venom’ is the fourth single from their debut album SEQUENCE 01, following ‘Magic Clock’, ‘UFO’, ‘Underground’ and ‘Lettuce’. The album is executive produced by the legendary BloodPop, with additional production from A.G. Cook, Hudson Mohawke, Count Baldor and AOBeats.

Released on May 5, SEQUENCE 01 has received glowing reviews from both critics and fans for the quintet’s genre-blending sound, fusing pop, dance, rock, and funk, while maintaining their signature J-pop identity and broad appeal.

Since the release of their debut single ‘Lettuce’, f5ve – consisting of J-pop veterans Sayaka, Kaede, Miyuu, Ruri and Rui – have accumulated a passionate following, particularly amongst LGBTQIA+ people.

In a recent interview with GAY TIMES, Miyuu said: “Every time we release, the LGBTQIA+ community acts and spreads the word. Not just about our music, but the existence of f5ve to more people. So, I think more and more people are getting to know f5ve. It’s all about you, besties.”

“I’m happy that so many people have commented, spread the word, and are constantly cheering us,” added Sayaka. “I think gay people like us because we love being ourselves.”

Ruri also said that the group would “not be here today” without their rainbow fanbase: “I can’t imagine not having their support. You are an existence that must be with us; our dreams won’t come true without you. We will always be together.”

It was recently announced that f5ve will perform at the queer festival Ladyland, taking place on 27 and 28 June in Brooklyn, NYC. They join a star-studded line-up of stars including Cardi B, FKA Twigs, Pabllo Vittar, Kevin Aviance, Cobrah and more.
