I'm always here for celebrities who are wanting to get yolked, and if takes an Aperol Spritz or two to do it even better. Florence Pugh's been in Venice to promote Netflix's East Of Eden, but let's be honest, she really seems to be there for the content. Her latest was the weightlifting Aperol Spritz video I didn't know I needed.
Pugh was out in the Italian sun with a pal who was instructing her on her Aperol Spritz hammer curls. She opened up about how she sometimes leans forward to get those right, and you can hear her taking instruction in the background, with the filmer humorously noting,"I think you may need to take a sip of the left one to make sure they're even."
She really looks like she's stretching and straining in the video, which amuses me, although I would ******* ume there's a fair amount of liquid in the glass and if you did enough of those you would, in fact, feel the burn. She clarified in the comments she was supposed to be meeting with her personal trainer during this day of travel, but said, "by the time I got there there was only 30 minutes spare so I sent him this."

Mike McFarland, who lent his voice to many classic anime, died Wednesday after a battle with brain cancer. He was 56.
McFarland is known to anime fans as the voice actor for "Dragon Ball Z" characters like Master Roshi and Yajirobe and the "One Piece"character Buggy the Clown. His work was impressively robust. He also famously voiced a pair of Jeans – Jean Kirstein in "Attack on ****** an" and Jean Havoc in "Fullmetal Alchemist" – along with Teppei Sugo in "Psycho-Pass" and Tecchin Tecchikawahara in "Demon Slayer."
"Mike brought so much to all of us who knew him, and to all of the anime fans that knew his work," anime streaming service Crunchyroll said in a statement regarding McFarland's death. "He was an incredible talent, a good friend to so many of us and will be sorely, sorely missed."
McFarland had diagnosed with a brain tumor several years ago. Fellow voice actors J. Michael Tatum and Brandon McInnis started a GoFundMe back in August 2025 to help McFarland pay for a live-in medical ****** istant after he underwent surgery for aggressive glioblastoma.
"Mike McFarland, my dear friend and mentor of over 20 years, is gone," Tatum posted. "A rarer, more beautiful soul this world will never know. Rest in peace, Salt. The love you created endures, but ****** ed if I know how we'll get on without you around to share it back with."

Actress Aubrey Plaza offloaded the Los Angeles property her late spouse Jeff Baena died in by suicide for $4.4 million—nearly one year after she put it on the market for $6.5 million.
Plaza, 42, who is recently gave birth to her first child with partner Christopher Abbott, originally purchased the home for $4.7 million in October 2022, when it became a marital home for the onscreen star and Baena.
However, in January 2025, Baena tragically died by suicide inside the property, and eight months later, Plaza chose to put it on the market, with an asking price of $6.5 million. That ask was lowered to $5.75 million just a few months later.
Still, the actress struggled to find a buyer—with sources telling Realtor.com® at the time that, while the four-bedroom abode had come under offer several times, the deals always fell through before they could officially close.
By May of this year, the property had been removed from the market altogether, before being relisted a few days later, with a new agent—Carl Gambino of The Gambino Group at Compass—and a much lower asking price: $5.3 million.

HOLLYWOOD, CA - SEPTEMBER 30: Voiceover actor Peter Cullen at the Optimus Prime hand and footprint ceremony held at TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX on September 30, 2014 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Albert L. Ortega/Getty Images)
Peter Cullen, the Canadian voice actor whose deep, measured baritone gave Optimus Prime his voice across four decades of the Transformers franchise, died at his Los Angeles home He was 85. No cause of death was confirmed, and the passing was first reported by TMZ.
His family said in a statement, "Peter Cullen passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family — and held in the hearts of his many friends and countless fans worldwide. His family asks that you honor his remarkable legacy by serving your communities and leading others with compassion, integrity, and loyalty, and always remember: be strong enough to be gentle."
That last phrase — "be strong enough to be gentle" — was the advice Cullen's brother Larry gave him when he auditioned for the role of Optimus Prime in 1984. Cullen based the character's voice on Larry, a Marine veteran, deciding that a true leader's strength should carry warmth rather than aggression. The audition won him the long-running role.
Cullen's animation career began well before Transformers, voicing characters across Pac-Man, Rainbow Brite, Voltron, The Addams Family, and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers as Monterey Jack, and provided the vocal effects of the Predator in the ep 1987 film of the same name. He was also the voice of Eeyore in Disney's Winnie the Pooh properties for years, a role he described as among his favourites. Disney later turned to Brad Garrett for a couple of 2018 productions, though Cullen remained the character's primary voice elsewhere.

Jerry Falade, who had 14 different publishing houses bidding for his 'Call Me, I'll Hide The Body' novel, is now on the defensive.
An author who lost a seven-figure book deal over accusations that he used AI to write his debut novel is fighting back, denying the claims, as what was once viewed as a hallmark for a young writer has become a source of controversy.
In a series of Instagram posts, Jerry Falade stated he was "Definitely innocent!!!" while adding, "They CAN'T and WON'T stop this Black boy's light from shining."
The aspiring author had written "Call Me, I'll Hide The Body," a crime novel that immediately garnered attention and sparked a bidding war among some of the biggest names in book publishing. More than 14 publishers bid on the novel before Macmillan's Minotaur imprint reportedly acquired the U.S. rights, while HarperCollins secured the U.K. rights. In total, the publishing deal for Falade's debut book and a follow-up was around $2 million.
However, Falade's literary agent stepped in, stating that he could no longer support the book and informing both publishing houses of his concerns about the use of AI in its writing. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Falade informed the outlet that he did use AI, but only during the research phase of the novel, but not for the actual manuscript. He stated he relied on an open-source AI tool to answer research questions tied to the book's subject matter, including forensic details and opted for a locally run model because it does not retain extensive search histories.
