Jessica Chastain cried on command and showed off her sinister "Other Mommy" smile on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," earning praise from the internet Thursday.
The Academy Award-winning actress taught the late-night host and his audience how she crafted the creepy smile for her upcoming horror film. She shared that the trick was to hold tension in her body while plastering on a fake smile.
Chastain shook slightly as she locked into the expression, dropping a single tear as she stared down the camera lens.
"You just spurted out that tear with no problem like that?" the late night host asked.
"I'm a trained actress, Jimmy," she replied.

A newly surfaced text message attributed to Kimberly Guilfoyle appears to reveal what she really thinks of Bettina Trump. Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. ended their engagement in 2024. Bettina, 39, is now his wife.
"I was having a [expletive] great time Saturday and we had a [expletive] amazing time when we got home Saturday night that's a nonsense," Guilfoyle allegedly texted Eric Deters, a former Kentucky congressional candidate, according to a Thursday, October 8 report in The Daily Beast. "That's his ex-wife's friend. It's all lies, but she's a cloud chasing horror that plays the story in the daily mail to get attention."
Deters confirmed to the outlet that the message was about Bettina.
The Daily Beast cautioned that the texts may contain typos. "Cloud chasing" could mean "clout chasing," and "plays the story" could mean "placed the story." The outlet also noted that "his ex-wife's friend" may refer to Vanessa Trump, Don Jr.'s former wife.
The message does not say which Daily Mail story Guilfoyle, 57, meant. But the publication reported on September 15, 2024, that Don Jr., 48, had been seen kissing Bettina at a brunch on August 17 of that same year. At that point, the public still believed he and Guilfoyle, now the U.S. ambassador to Greece, were engaged. The two have never publicly said when they actually split.

Debbie Reynolds had some great words of wisdom before her death in 2016.
During her granddaughter Billie Lourd's appearance on the Thursday, October 1, broadcast of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, host Andy Cohen asked about the "best advice" the late actress bestowed on her.
Lourd's answer? "Always get a facelift before you need one," the American Horror Story actress, 34, responded, adding that it is actually really "important" information.
While Reynolds may have given some solid advice, it is unclear if Lourd, who is also the daughter of late actress Carrie Fisher, has had any work done.
The Singin' in the Rain actress died at age 84 on December 28, 2016, just one day after Fisher died at age 60.

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas gave their children a candid introduction to Hollywood before Dylan and Carys pursued careers in entertainment. The actress says they shared the industry's "horror stories" to see whether their children's enthusiasm would hold up against its less glamorous realities. But theater camps, college productions and auditions kept calling. Now, Zeta-Jones is watching both children pursue the work they love, while finding a stronger voice of her own at 57.

In an interview with AARP Movies for Grownups, Zeta-Jones explained how she and Douglas approached their children's interest in following them into show business. "We told them all the [Hollywood] horror stories to see if their passion for the art and the craft was genuine," she said.
Zeta-Jones also acknowledged how challenging it can be to build a sustainable career in entertainment. "It's a very small percentage of our business that can really make a living out of doing what we love. But they certainly do love it," the actress said.

Ahead of the release of Zach Cregger's reboot today, there were already seven Resident Evil movies — six of them in a more action-oriented series starring Milla Jovovich, four of which were directed by her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, plus an unrelated "reboot" in 2021 called Welcome to Raccoon City that went for more of a John Carpenter vibe and was an attempt to truly "adapt" the games. There's also a Netflix TV show version that ran for a single season in 2022. Countless other works in the horror genre have unofficially cribbed from the Resident Evil games over the years. It's an incredibly influential series.
And yet, Zach Cregger, hot off his Oscar-winning original horror film Weapons, is the first filmmaker to truly feel like he's adapting the experience of playing the games, arguably the scariest survival-horror ones ever made, rather than simply incorporating story and plot elements to explain the outbreak of infected people. In Cregger's hands, Resident Evil is pure crowd-pleasing popcorn cinema, best experienced in a packed movie theater with dozens of other people reacting loudly to the madness.
The premise couldn't be simpler — and the runtime a brisk 90ish minutes — as we follow a medical courier named Bryan (Austin Abrams, proving himself to be the Bruce Campbell for a new generation) who unwittingly finds himself fighting for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in a swirl of chaos. Fans of the video games will recognize various easter eggs and nods to game mechanics, including the importance of conserving ammo and checking every last drawer for more of it.
But you don't need to be familiar with the games at all to enjoy the movie, which is an efficient horror set-piece machine that just keeps putting Abrams in increasingly concerning situations. I can't stress enough how much this is a one-man show anchored by Abrams, and he crushes it. He's in every scene, earning tons of laughs simply by reacting as a normal person would in this situation; he's a true audience-surrogate character, ushering us through the chaos. His comedic timing, paired with Cregger's ****** ured camerawork and editing, is a match made in genre-movie heaven.
I didn't expect it to be so heavily inspired by genre classics like The Thing and Evil Dead. In fact, it's a better Evil Dead movie than the last several movies with "Evil Dead" in the ****** le, nailing the horror-comedy tone that only Sam Raimi and a few others can pull off with aplomb. Cregger has a ton of fun with the various monstrous forms that the infected take here, from fusing multiple humans together to crafting his own horror take on a big, scary guy like Dune's Baron Harkonnen. Resident Evil movies have thus far treated the zombies as pretty traditional movie zombies; Cregger's version gets at the attempt to create the next stage of human evolution.

Britain's royal family has taken the unusual step of publicly challenging claims made by Princess Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, in his upcoming memoir.
Departing from the monarchy's traditional "never complain, never explain" approach, Buckingham Palace responded Wednesday to Spencer's recollection of a phone call between himself and King Charles, in the wake of Diana's death in 1997. According to Spencer, the call took place after Spencer objected to Prince William and Prince Harry, then 15 and 12, walking behind their mother's coffin at her funeral.
In an excerpt from the book Swan Song: Diana, My Sister published by Britain's Daily Mail, Spencer wrote, "He unleashed down the phone what I have always taken to be his pent-up contempt for Diana, and his horror that the world was so bowled over by her death. 'Rest ****** ured,' he hissed, 'we'll forget her soon enough.'"
While the palace didn't directly address whether the comment was made, the statement questioned the reliability of Spencer's recollection, saying, "While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and color memory in ways others do not recognize, even many years after such a loss."
The statement echoes the palace's reaction to claims made by Harry and Meghan Markle during their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey that an unnamed royal had made a remark about their son's skin color before he was born and that the monarchy failed to help a suicidal Meghan. A response issued on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II at that time said that "recollections may vary."

Demi Moore and Rob Lowe just had the sweetest Brat Pack reunion!
A whopping four decades since the height of their Brat Pack days, and some months after the premiere of the documentary on the era, Brats, the St. Elmo's Fire co-stars delighted fans by getting together in Los Angeles.
And as the West Wing alum surprised fans to support the The Substance actress for a screening of the body horror film, they left fans marveling over just how little they have changed.
After Rob made a surprise appearance at a The Substance screening last week, Demi took to Instagram over the weekend to thank him for it.

Not groovy. Not groovy at all.
Celebrated actor Bruce Campbell has revealed that he has about five years to live after being diagnosed with cancer.
Best known for playing the iconic Ash Williams in Sam Raimi's cult Evil Dead horror series, Campbell, 68, first shared the news of his diagnosis in March. At the time, he wrote that the cancer was "treatable" but not "curable".
"I am not trying to enlist sympathy – or advice – I just want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out, which it will. Fear not, I'm a tough old ******* and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while."

Evil Dead actor Bruce Campbell has shared that his doctor estimates he has about five years to live, "give or take."
Months after disclosing his cancer diagnosis, 68-year-old Campbell shared that he may only have a few years left.
"I'm in a five-year prognosis," the horror icon told The Adam Carolla Show in an episode released on Wednesday. "With the type of cancer that I have, which I don't want to get into, the current thing is a five-year deal."
When the host asked Campbell if that meant "the prognosis is you have five years to live," the horror icon confirmed the news. "Give or take," he told Carolla.
Despite the scary prognosis, the actor is choosing to be upbeat and hopes that treatments for his undisclosed form of cancer could advance.

British actor Tim Curry died of coronary artery disease, his spokesman has confirmed to the BBC.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show star died in his Los Angeles home on 25 August, aged 80.
In addition to the heart condition, Curry had a history of stroke and kidney cancer, which were significant conditions that contributed to his death, his spokesman said, citing a death certificate filed in Los Angeles County.
Stars of stage and screen paid tribute to the actor, who shot to fame as the lingerie-clad Dr Frank-N-Furter in the cult 1975 film The Rocky Horror Show.
After having a near-fatal stroke in 2012, the actor used a wheelchair. He shifted his focus to voice acting exclusively, expressing gratitude that the stroke resulted in paralysis rather than taking away his ability to speak.

Kate Beckinsale has compared navigating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to living in "hell".
Returning to Instagram on Wednesday, the Serendipity actress opened up about the mental health condition, which a person can experience after witnessing a terrifying or traumatic event.
"(There are men, women and children all around the world) who have seen such absolute horror or experienced such absolute horror that their nervous system is permanently altered as a result," she began. "A lot of those people become incredibly good at masking it, and it's sad because they become so good that they get no grace whatsoever. They get up, they go to work, they provide for their family."
Beckinsale did not specify whether she has been diagnosed with PTSD. However, she urged her 5.3 million followers to be considerate of those who may be dealing with trauma.
"Given the fact that it's invisible and you can't know, maybe err on being on the gentler side with people, being kinder with people," the 53-year-old mused. "It really is true that if you haven't walked a mile in someone's shoes - however fancy you feel the shoes are - you have absolutely no idea what they may be carrying or masking or dealing with day and night."
In addition, Beckinsale claimed that research into PTSD and the female brain has only "begun to be studied in the last six, seven years".

Warning: This story contains spoilers for The Whisper Man
Horror keeps finding Owen Teague.
The 27-year-old actor has become one of the genre's most recognizable young faces, starring in three Stephen King adaptations, including the It franchise. Now, he's the terrifying figure hiding in Netflix's buzzy new crime thriller, The Whisper Man.
"I am attracted to things that are a little bit twisted. I think it's my sense of humor," Teague tells Yahoo, then laughing: "It's also my face."
The irony here is that Teague doesn't watch many horror movies himself.

Tim Curry's cause of death has been revealed eight days after his passing on Aug. 25.
According to documents obtained by People from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" actor died of coronary artery disease. The report also cited his history of health issues including his 2012 stroke and kidney cancer. While these ailments contributed to his death they were not the underlying cause.
The actor died last week at his home in Toluca Lake, Los Angeles, 14 years after he suffered a paralyzing stroke. He maintained a presence in the public eye through the intervening years through fan conventions, social media and his 2025 memoir "Vagabond."
"Though widely known for his inimitable, flamboyant characters and colorful stage performances, his greatest legacies to those who knew him were his curious, expansive mind and generous, gentle heart, both of which remained open and filled with anticipation until his final breath," Curry's team shared in a statement last week.

Mel Gibson has issued an apology amid backlash over his recent appearance at FanExpo Canada.
At the event, the Oscar-winner was caught on camera mocking an ASL interpreter as her prepared to commence a Q&A. Video of the incident was widely circulated on social media platforms, with Gibson condemned for his insensitive actions.
"Sometimes when you get pushed out on a stage in a spotlight your mind is all over the place, and sometimes spontaneous thoughtless idiocy is displayed," Gibson said in a statement to Variety.
"There was no intended maliciousness attached, and I certainly apologise to anyone who was upset by it."
Gibson's actions have been contrasted with those of Reacher star Alan Ritchson at the same event, who was praised for shaking the hand of the interpreter after his own Q&A wrapped.
FanExpo Canada is held annually and is billed as "the largest comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming event in Canada and the third-largest Pop Culture event in North America". Gibson's appearance at this year's expo took place on Saturday and included autograph and photo opportunities for fans.

Mel Gibson has come under fire after mocking an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter during a Fan Expo Canada panel over the weekend.
Page Six reported that the Braveheart actor walked on stage, waved at the crowd, and then mimicked the interpreter's signs. The clip has now gone viral with people calling his behavior "bonkers," "despicable," and "gross."
"This choice is bonkers to me. *interpreter just doing their job, people clapping for you, positive vibes* Mel Gibson: *makes fun of ASL interpreter for no reason at all* What dysfunction causes a brain to need to be casually cruel for no reason?" one social media user wrote via X.
After the clip was widely circulated, the Oscar winner issued an apology for his behavior at "the largest comics, sci-fi, horror, anime and gaming event in Canada."

Less than a day after the passing of legendary country music icon and entrepreneur Dolly Parton, another beloved celebrity has shuffled off this mortal coil. Tim Curry has passed away at the age of 80. The actor succumbed to health effects from a 2012 stroke on August 25, 2026.
Tim Curry was the child of a British Navy veteran and spent his youth in various foreign countries until settling in the seaside town of Plymouth when he was 11. He was interested in acting from a young age and turned that interest into serious study at the University of Birmingham. When he graduated in 1968, he was almost immediately cast in the London production of the hit play Hair.
It was there that history would be made when Tim Curry met Richard O'Brien, the writer of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The iconic role of Dr. Frank N. Furter was written specifically for Curry and elevated him to fame when it was adapted to film and became a cult classic. It was his flamboyant, Bowie-esque performance that made him a household name, even as his career in British television was also bringing him success.
He continued to act on stage throughout his career, but the 1980s saw him move to Hollywood as more film roles became available to him. He played the villain, aptly named Darkness, in Legend, and submarine medical officer Dr. Yevgeniy Petrov in The Hunt for Red October. But it was his comedy roles as the butler Wadsworth in Clue and as the harried hotel concierge Mr. Hector in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York that brought him back into the spotlight after his Rocky Horror fame.
Curry did play dramatic roles, such as the conniving Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers and fortune-hunter Herkermer ******* lka in Congo, but on film, it was his zany antics that earned him recognition. His 1996 appearance as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island, a movie that built its success from the novelty of having made A Muppet Christmas Carol with Michael Caine, cemented Curry's status as a star. Like the ******* ens adaptation, the Muppet version of the Robert Lewis Stephenson classic became one of the most definitive film versions of the book.

A historical Los Angeles property that late actor Tim Curry spent years carefully restoring to its former glory has come under offer, just hours after new of the "Rocky Horror" star's passing was announced.
The sprawling property, which is located in Los Feliz, was purchased by the actor for just $650,000 in 1993—and then underwent a multi-year renovation by Curry, who later showcased the results of the transformation in a shoot for Architectural Digest.
Drawing on inspiration from European design style, Curry—who passed away at the age of 80, 14 years after he suffered a major stroke—transformed the house into a warm, eclectic abode that would later be owned by a host of other famous faces, including "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson, "The Pitt" actor Noah Wyle, and "The Big Bang Theory" comedian Jim Parsons.
The four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom spread was most recently listed for just under $10 million in July 2025, however it has since undergone several price cuts that eventually brought the ask down to $7.5 million on Aug. 6 of this year.
When news of Curry's death was revealed to the public, the home—which is listed with Ben Belack of Alex Everest—was still on the market, however records how now been updated to reflect that it has come under "contingent" offer, meaning that the seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions need to be meet before the deal can close.

It's been a rough week for celebrity deaths. Just one day after Dolly Parton's death was announced, it was revealed that the iconic Tim Curry also died at 80. Generations of fans have been mourning these losses, and for the latter, that includes the Rocky Horror Picture Show community, which is a thriving one based around the cult classic movie. In fact, The Rocky Horror Show is currently on Broadway, and Luke Evans penned a sweet letter to Curry from one Frank-N-Furter to another.
Luke Evans rocked his fishnets and heels as Frank in The Rocky Horror Show, earning a Tony nomination in the process. While he recently ended his tenure in the role, he returned last night to do a tribute to Tim Curry. He also took to Instagram to pay his respects and reveal that he recently wrote a letter to the OG Frank. In his words:
Three weeks ago, I wrote a letter to Tim Curry. I want to share it with you, he was a force, a bright fierce flame, an exquisite charm and that rich vocal tone, he was an inspiration to me and so many more people for the roles he played and the effect he had on so many of us. There will only be one Tim Curry. All the rest of us will just have to do our best to emulate some of the magic that role I've just spent 7 months playing.
