Big Brother Week 5 ended with Zach Cornell going home after one of the worst game moves in the game’s history, but I have faith that Week 6 of Season 27 will be what finally turns this game around. A new Head of Household is in control as we near the halfway point, and I think they’ve set up a massive week to put themselves in position to control the rest of the game.
As we’ve been doing all season, CinemaBlend is watching Big Brother online and keeping tabs on what’s going on via the live feeds, so of course, we know who won the HOH. We also know who their primary targets will likely be, and how it could cause a significant shift in how the rest of this season plays out.

It’s also worth noting that, as evidenced by the photo above, Ashley is also very close with Morgan and Mickey. She’s also close with Rachel, but when she asked the Season 13 winner who her nominees were, Rachel dodged the question:
Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News
Ashley- Who is someone you want out? Rachel- I dont know. It could go two ways. Ashley- In a perfect week. Rachel- I’m a target for everyone, so it really doesnt fucking matter. There is two ways I could do this. If I take a shot, I cant miss. The one shot, I would have to make…August 15, 2025
The fact that Rachel wasn’t upfront with Ashley has me almost certain that Mickey and Morgan are in her crosshairs. If I had to guess, I’d say she’s fine with either leaving, but when it comes to her game, I think Mickey would be the better person to get out this week. If you’re rooting for Rachel to get further in the game, then Mickey leaving is the ideal play this week.
Mickey won’t go quietly, however, and it’s worth noting she has a lot of people in the house who like her. Even Rylie Jeffries, who Mickey usurped as Week 4 HOH with her power, seems to be in her corner. I’d also like to add that Rachel has struggled to get anyone she’s targeting out of the house each week, the latest being Vinny with an 8-2 margin. Just because Rachel may want Mickey or Morgan out doesn’t mean it will happen.
Big Brother continues as part of the 2025 TV schedule on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays on CBS at 8:00 p.m. ET. This could be a real big week for those hoping that the season starts to form some solid alliances, but that might just be optimism on my part.
A-listers Padma Lakshmi and Jennifer Lopez have been living their best lives as of late. The former Top Chef host started her lingerie line, Padma X Bare Necessities, which is seemingly gaining buzz. Meanwhile, JLo has her Up All Night tour and is looking towards the nationwide debut of her 2025 movie release, Kiss of the Spider Woman, which opens in October. The two celebrities, who are in their 50s, also prove that age is just a number by sharing their sweet new bikini photos.
Women like Padma Lakshmi and Jennifer Lopez prove that being in your 50s means there’s still room for beauty and a fit body. For example, the Taste the Nation creator posted Instagram photos of herself rocking a pink bikini, and the snapshots are giving me serious FOMO:
celebrated her 50th birthday by wearing a bikini. Like Lakshmi said, “50 is the new 30.” Not to mention, Lakshmi rocked an itsy bitsy yellow bikini in Sports Illustrated back in 2023. It seems age has only sharpened her grace.
poses in a swimsuit by a fruit platter or wears a yellow bikini on a yacht, she’s always crushing it. (I’d love to know Lopez’s fitness secrets.) Summer may now be reaching its end, but it doesn’t mean the Maid in Manhattan actress’ bikini poses are stopping. A photo shared to Lopez’s Instagram stories showed the “Jenny From the Block” singer soaking up the sun and sporting a black bikini while chilling in a hammock:

Jennifer Lopez radiated with beauty while in the hot summer sun. The “Get Right” singer already proved she was summer goals this year with her bikini photo dump, which showcased her sculpted physique. In 2024, she also proved to be ageless when she promoted her new single “Can’t Get Enough” with a video of her wearing a whole lotta bikinis. Clearly, JLo is embracing the summer season with poise, power and unapologetic style, regardless of her age.
It’s just wonderful to see celebrities like Padma Lakshmi and Jennifer Lopez embracing their figures as they continue to age gracefully. They’re rewriting the rules about aging by driving home the point that beauty comes with no expiration date. Women can shine at any age, and it’s a powerful message that I love to see exuded through bikini pictures and by other means.
As Superman continues to soar at the box office, more and more people are falling in love with Clark Kent’s friend, fantastic Daily Planet reporter and rizz god Jimmy Olsen, and it’s hilarious. That’s in part because the film makes Skyler Gisondo’s Jimmy a reluctant ladies’ man. However, it’s also because all this laughing and love from fans is unsurprising to me, someone who has felt this way about the actor who plays him for a long time.
Jimmy Olsen Has Undeniable Rizz, And The Internet’s Reaction To Him Being A Ladies’ Man Makes Me Laugh
Ever since Skyler Gisondo was cast as Jimmy Olsen, I was looking forward to seeing him in Superman, and I wasn’t surprised when he stole some of the scenes he was in. However, the internet seemed a bit taken aback, in the best way, by Jimmy’s charisma and how easily he charmed the ladies, which led to hilarious viral posts like this one from @zoerosebryant:
reluctant rizz god jimmy olsen has gotta be one of gunn’s best bits ever
Eve being obsessed with him was truly a highlight of the film.
@spunchbawbII on X:
can’t believe jimmy olsen getting bitches was a crucial part of the movie
It was unexpected, but also made total sense, because how could you resist this guy? He’s just a nice dude with unfathomable charm. Therefore, many fans, like @newromantics02, who is quoted below, couldn’t help but think:
unfortunately i am these girls whenever i see jimmy olsen onscreen in superman
All of this is hilarious no matter who you are, I’d assume. However, what makes this all even funnier is how unsurprising it is to me, a longtime Skyler Gisondo fan.
As A Longtime Skyler Gisondo Fan, None Of This Suprises Me At All
What cracks me up even more about the internet fawning over Jimmy Olsen is the fact that I’ve been essentially doing this for a very long time. Years before Superman’s release on the 2025 movie schedule, I became aware of Gisondo’s rizz, for lack of a better term, and anytime I see him on screen, I fall in love.

This happened for the first time with the 2019 movie Booksmart (you can stream it now with an Amazon Prime subscription), which was also the first project I consciously saw Gisondo in – I had also seen him in Psych and Once Upon a Time, but he had smaller roles and I didn’t remember him. However, when I saw Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut, I was floored by his unforgettable character, Jared.

Jared has no right to be a rizz god, but he is. He’s a confident, corny and hilarious dude who throws wild parties for himself and wears T-shirts that have pictures of himself wearing a T-shirt with himself on it (I know that’s confusing, but you can see it in the image above). He also says things like “Jere-bear comin’ at you from all angles,” he refers to his car as the “S.S. Lit As Fuck,” and he loves airplanes and musicals. He’s ridiculous; however, he’s so authentically himself and cares so much for his friends that I couldn’t help but fall in love.
The guy is just so cute and irresistible, and the same is true for Jimmy Olsen. Gisondo plays both so genuinely, and both characters are confident in their own totally unique way. It’s why I’ve been such a fan for so long, and I think it’s why the ladies love this Superman character.
So, no, I’m not shocked by the love for Jimmy at all, and I’m so happy that the actor who plays him is getting the adoration he deserves.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial may be over, but he still remains behind bars in the aftermath. At present, the 55-year-old rapper is at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, where he’s awaiting his sentencing. Much has been said about Combs’ time behind bars, specifically in regard to the alleged conditions he’s experienced since then. More concrete details have been provided by Diddy’s legal team. Now, his lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo is opening up about one of the “horrible things” his client has had to deal with in the penitentiary.
Marc Agnifilo has been speaking out on behalf of his client quite frequently as of late. At present, the lawyer – who has represented several high-profile clients in recent years – is arguing for Diddy to be released on bail. During an interview with Variety, Agnifilo laid out where things stand in regard to the former Sean John figurehead’s legal situation. The topic of Diddy’s prison stint also came up, leading Agnifilo to reveal that his client really misses going outside:
One of the horrible things about the MDC [Metropolitan Detention Center, where Combs is held in Brooklyn] is not going outside ever. He hasn’t been outside since September. He hasn’t had sun on his skin. It’s sort of like sensory deprivation. The light’s always the same, it’s artificial light, there’s no breeze, there’s no wind, there’s very little change in temperature. So, he wants to get out and be with his family.
sharing Father’s Day messages and addressing the rumors swirling around Sean. Despite the kids’ attempts to remain connected with him, Sean is reportedly having a tough time being away from them. Marc Agniflo made that claim while discussing just how often he personally sees his client:
Diddy received a mixed verdict in late July, which saw him acquitted of sex-trafficking and racketeering (RICO) charges. He was, however, convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Shortly after the verdict was delivered, Diddy’s legal team tried to make a bid for a $1 million bail package. While that was unsuccessful, his attorneys are trying to make an appeal for a package worth $50 million. That proposed deal would allow the music mogul to stay in his Miami-based mansion (with limited activity within the outside world) ahead of his sentencing.
In prison, Sean Combs has faced a new reality, one that sees him in proximity to suspected murderer Luigi Mangione and other inmates. Combs doesn’t have access to certain amenities that he’s accustomed to like limitless wi-fi or hair dye (which is why his hair is now graying). Nevertheless, Marc Agnifilo suggests that Combs is still confident that he’ll be back on the outside at some point, and the attorney also shed light on his client’s current mindset in that regard:
His view is: ‘Have I lived up to the blessings I’ve been given?’ And I think his conclusion is: ‘Not in every aspect of my life have I lived up to those blessings.’ What he wants to do when he gets out is to start small. He wants to spend time with his children and get reacquainted with his own life.
There’s also been the question as to whether Diddy might receive a pardon after his sentencing. U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the possibility of pardoning him and, as of this writing, he doesn’t seem keen on doing so due to comments the rapper previously made about him. For now, Diddy’s sentencing is set for October 3 and, unless something changes, he’ll continue to remain on the inside in the lead-up to the court date.
The next big MCU team-up is set to be The Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday. And, though the upcoming Marvel movie is currently deep in production, thanks to a fun video posted to his social media, we know the star playing the film’s big bad, returning MCU star Robert Downey Jr, is in full vacation mode. I’m loving the behind-the-scenes look at the A-lister’s good time. In addition to that, though, I have to admit, I love the Iron Man details fans spotted just a bit more.
Robert Downey Jr. just posted a fun video on his Instagram of him taking a morning walk on the beach. The entire clip is set to his son, Indio Downey’s, song, “Change of Scenery.” The caption from the Tony Stark actor reads, “What’s your summer #changeofscenery? Me = early morning beach walk. You = ???” Check out the full video below:
@Drdoomarchive, took to X (formerly Twitter) to point out some interesting jewelry the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang actor was sporting in the video. The fan account posted: “the ring being the ARC REACTOR. also what is that pendant?” Why, it would appear so, and I love that sweet accessory.
sticking around for the long haul as Doom):
@aliciapino: “And beard too”
@catherinespaws: “It looks like either a skull or an iron man helmet”
@mufcbecks7: “Tony stark lives forever”
@Zeynubella1: “I think Iron Man helmet”
It may seem like a logical leap to some, especially considering the video in question is merely of the Oppenheimer star walking on the beach, which has sparked a ton of fan theories. However, can you really blame them? He’s rocking a full-on fire engine red (Iron Man’s fav)coloredoutfit and has Stark’s classic goatee.
Some folks in the comments rightfully pointed out that the goatee is a pretty typical look for the Hollywood A-lister. Plus, he’s sporting what appears to be an Iron Man helmet necklace and that aforementioned arc reactor ring. That’s quite a throwback to his iconic role, especially since we know he’s making a big return to the MCU as Victor Von Doom. But who knows? The wild theory would be that he’s hinting at a multiverse version of Tony Stark!
Of course, it’s hard to say if RDJ is actually dropping real-life easter eggs to get fans’ hearts racing because there really is a connection between his beloved Tony Stark and his upcoming turn as a villain. It’s also totally possible that he’s sporting some fun Iron Man merch just for the heck of it. We’ll have to wait until the upcoming superhero movie hits theaters as part of the 2026 movie release schedule.
