Simu Liu has married his partner of four years, Allison Hsu.
The Avengers: Doomsday star and the music exec wed over the weekend in France, TMZ reports.
Liu and Hsu first started dating in late 2022, and made their red carpet debut at a movie premiere in December of that year.
Liu, who is best known for playing the ****** le role in Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, proposed to his girlfriend in May 2025 while on holiday in Paris, with a little help from Taylor Swift.
"My fiancée works in music, and she grew up a Swiftie," Liu shared on The Tonight Show. "Taylor Swift's music was a big part even in the beginning of our relationship. I was getting to know her through those songs and why they meant so much to her.
"So I was like, well, if there's one person that would make this engagement so special... I reached out to Taylor through her publicist, and I said, 'Hey, is there any way that I could convince you to make a two-second video just to say congrats?' And she literally, two days later, sent it over, and I was able to play it for her, and so, Taylor Swift was the cherry on top!"

Former President Obama on Friday slammed President Trump over his handling of how to approach artificial intelligence amid “doomsday” warnings coming from some in the tech industry about the technology’s potential existential threat to humanity.
Obama said during an interview at Colgate University in New York that the federal government must regulate AI, before referring to comments made by one Trump adviser.
“I heard one of Donald Trump’s main advisers on this make the argument that, ‘The market will take care of AI,'” the former president said. “‘These companies will solve the safety issues because they have every incentive to do so — if it turns out to be dangerous, people will just sue them, and they’re worried about financial liability.'”
“That’s not how we treat airlines,” Obama added. “Or drug companies, or food companies.”
Obama continued to say that AI could become a threat at a human level if it falls into the clutches of “bad humans” and if self-improving AI models realize they no longer need humans. He referred to Trump again in that his successor has said regulations on AI are “for losers.”

Some AI researchers say they think AI could hurt, or wipe out, humanity.
So we asked four of the AI models: How would you go about it?
They all said human misuse of AI is considered a more immediate risk than AI itself.
The researchers building our favorite chatbots are increasingly voicing concerns that AI could hurt — or end — humanity. So we asked four of the most-used generative AI tools what an AI doomsday could look like.
We posed the same question, in identical wording, to OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, and ****** eXAI's Grok.

It's been quite a week for Bob Iger.
First, the former Disney CEO managed to buy one of America's most-coveted sports franchises — which wasn't even officially for sale — and today he became a Disney Legend. For those unfamiliar with the honor, it is given to those who have "made a significant impact on the Disney legacy." The equivalent in sports would be induction into the hall of fame or having your number retired. Iger certainly qualifies.

Ryan Reynolds stayed connected with his family while secretly exploring San Diego Comic-Con dressed as a denim-clad Deadpool.
Blake Lively shared a screenshot from a July 26 FaceTime call involving Reynolds and their 3-year-old son, Olin. The image offered a rare glimpse of the couple's youngest child, although Lively continued protecting his privacy by covering his face with a bear emoji.
Olin was reading a Captain America book when Reynolds called from the convention, still wearing part of the costume that had allowed him to walk among fans without being recognized.
Reynolds later carried the disguise into Marvel Studios' Hall H presentation, where he interrupted an Avengers: Doomsday panel and jokingly attempted to secure Deadpool a role in the completed movie.

Over the last couple of weeks, the Los Angeles Lakers have been making what has thus far been a quick and painless transition from the LeBron James era to the true start of the Luka Doncic era. James officially decided to leave the Lakers in free agency on June 30, and the team moved swiftly to trade for center Walker Kessler and nab guards Quentin Grimes and Collin ***** ton, big man Sandro Mamukelashvili and center Kevon Looney in free agency.
There are quite a few Lakers fans who have been doing back flips ever since James decided to bid farewell to the Purple and Gold. It may be a breath of fresh air in some ways for the franchise, but the 41-year-old did play eight years for it and make it relevant again upon his arrival in 2018, not to mention leading it to the NBA championship in 2020.
Derek Fisher, who won five NBA ***** les alongside Kobe Bryant, told Yahoo Sports Daily that he doesn't understand why Lakers fans don't appreciate James' time with the team more than they do.
"A lot of people in L.A. didn't love LeBron's time here and it's been confusing to me," Fisher said. "The reaction to him deciding not to return to L.A., a lot of people have celebrated it and almost had a parade as though this is the greatest thing ever. I'm not saying this is doomsday for the Lakers by any means. I think the organization will be fine, it's been here for 80 years, it'll be fine. But, I'm surprised at the reaction for sure and yeah, I think people have moved on, a lot of fans have."
Fisher was then asked why fans didn't embrace James the way they embraced previous Lakers greats.

LeBron James’ free agency is one of the biggest stories this offseason, following his departure from the Los Angeles Lakers, and it seems that the Purple and Gold fans are more than happy to see him leave after an eight-year stint.
During an appearance on Yahoo Sports Daily, former NBA guard Derek Fisher shared his thoughts on why hardcore Lakers fans never fully accepted James, unlike some of the club’s legends, including the late Kobe Bryant.
“A lot of people have celebrated it. It’s almost been like a parade, like it’s the greatest thing ever. I’m not saying it’s doomsday for the Lakers. I think the organization will be fine. It’s been around for 80 years. But I’m definitely surprised by some of the reaction. Yeah, I think a lot of fans have moved on,” Fisher stated.
“I think part of it is that when you look at the Lakers’ all-time greats, many of them were essentially born and raised as Lakers… Then, of course, there’s Kobe spending 20 seasons in Los Angeles. I think those stars became who they were as Lakers. I think a lot of Lakers fans have a difficult time receiving the fact that LeBron was already LeBron before he got here,” he continued.

Doomsday?
Already?
Wasn't the world supposed to end back in 2012?
Physicist Heinz von Foerster, who passed away in 2002, claimed back in 1960 in the "Science" publication that the world would end sometime in the 2020s, according to a report in Time Magazine.
And we are relatively close to his predicted date. What's more, at the start of 2025, the famous "Doomsday Clock" ticked closer to ultimate destruction.
