When Taylor Swift revealed that she'd written a song for Toy Story 5, she noted that she'd been "a Toy Story kid from the age of 5 til now." And she proved it by showing up to the movie's premiere on Tuesday night with her original VHS tape of Toy Story under her arm.

But she wasn't just carrying it around to prove her fandom; she asked Toy Story star Tom Hanks to autograph it for her. He did, as he told USA Today, and then laughed, "I told her she should have brought in the VHS machine so that we could have signed it, 'cause that could go into the Smithsonian Institute as well."

Separately, Tom told Variety that he had no idea Taylor had a song in the movie until the last moment, when, he said, "They ushered us into a soundproof room and said, 'Tonight, at 9 p.m., the true end titles song is going to drop and it's by Taylor Swift.'"

"And I said, 'You guys kept this from us all this time?' We saw the movie and it did not — we had some dummy [song] in there, so they surprised us as well."

He added, "That's like saying, 'By the way, Judy Garland is singing "Over the Rainbow" at the beginning of this' — that kind of thing."

And while speaking to E! at the premiere, Tom offered the following marriage advice to Taylor and her fiancé, Travis Kelce: "The man must make the waffles on Sunday."

Toy Story 5 arrives June 19.

'X-Men' actor Tyler Mane reveals breast cancer diagnosis, puts spotlight on rare cases in men

X-Men actor Tyler Mane has revealed that he has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Mane, best known for playing Sabretooth in X-Men as well as in Deadpool & Wolverine, shared his diagnosis Tuesday in a video on social media.

"I have some bad news. I start chemotherapy today," Mane said, adding in the video's caption that he was diagnosed with breast cancer, calling it "super rare."

Mane did not share further details about his diagnosis or treatment.

ABC News has reached out to the actor for comment.

In his post, Mane said he hopes to raise awareness about breast cancer in men, saying that he "wants to change" the reality that the condition is "rarely talked about."

In the United States, around one out of every 100 breast cancer diagnoses is found in a man, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Like a woman, a man's risk of breast cancer is increased if they have either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.

Other risk factors for breast cancer in men include being over the age of 50, a family history of breast cancer, obesity, exposure to hormone and radiation therapy treatments, liver disease and certain conditions that affect the testicles, according to the CDC.

There are currently no screening recommendations for breast cancer screening in men.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women between ages 40 and 74 who are at average risk for breast cancer get a mammogram every two years.

The symptoms of breast cancer in men include abnormalities around the breast area, including a lump or swelling, redness or flaky skin, nipple discharge and pain in the nipple area, according to the CDC.

A year ago nobody knew what a HUNTR/X was and nobody had ever heard of Saja Boys. But on June 20, 2025, KPop Demon Hunters took over pop culture, and now Netflix has planned special celebrations for the movie's one-year anniversary.

First, KPop Demon Hunters will return to theaters across the U.S. and the world for anniversary screenings. Check your local listings for a theater near you. Additionally, there will be free outdoor screenings of the sing-along versions of the Oscar-winning film across the U.S. starting June 19 in Salt Lake City. That will be followed by free screenings in Atlanta, San Francisco, San Diego and Brooklyn on June 20; Butte, Montana, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, on June 24; and Cleveland, Ohio, on June 25. A different location in San Diego will host an additional screening on June 26. Visit Tudum.com for full details.

Both Netflix houses — one in Philadelphia and one in Dallas — will offer a full day of fan activities on June 20. There will be screenings all week at the Philly house. 

KPop Demon Hunters became the most-watched original title in Netflix history. Its soundtrack dominated the Billboard charts, including the #1 hit "Golden," the first K-pop song in history to win a Grammy Award and the first to win an Academy Award. The film also won the best animated feature film Oscar. The voices of HUNTR/X — EJAE, Rei Ami and Audrey Nuna — have become stars in their own right, performing on TV and at live events, and a KPop Demon Hunters World Tour is coming.

Facebook is facing the music in the new trailer for The Social Reckoning.

The companion film to 2010’s The Social Network will tell the true story of young Facebook engineer Frances Haugen, played by Mikey Madison, who enlists the help of Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz, played by Jeremy Allen White, to blow the whistle on Facebook’s questionable practices.

Their work ultimately culminated in a 2021 exposé known as The Facebook Files, which exposed the inner workings and harms caused by Facebook.

In the clip, we see the two going up against the social network giant, headed by Jeremy Strong’s Mark Zuckerberg.

“I’m a free speech absolutist and I’m not the one who’s lying,” Strong as Zuckerberg says as he’s accused of injecting a “fire hose of bad information” into society.

The film was written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, who previously wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay for The Social Network. It also stars Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen and Bill Burr.

The Social Reckoning hits theaters Oct. 9.

'Alice and Steve' stars talk ruining the friendship in new Hulu series

Jemaine Clement and Nicola Walker are ruining the friendship in the new Hulu comedy series Alice and Steve. The two star as the titular best friends whose relationship is tested when Steve starts dating Alice’s adult daughter, Izzy.

It’s being described as a “wrong com” instead of a rom-com, but Walker tells ABC Audio that while her character, Alice, might call it that, she believes it’s more nuanced.

“I think it's hugely problematic and going to, you know, [be] a grenade that blows up everybody's lives. But I don’t think it’s wrong,” she says of the relationship between Steve and the 26-year-old Izzy.

“No one is right and nobody is wrong completely, but everyone behaves appallingly at times,” she adds. “And yet you understand them and sympathize with them, I think.”

Clement says there’s “a lot of gray area” in terms of the characters’ behavior, and while he doesn’t necessarily relate to Steve, he at least feels for him.

“He is extremely lonely when we begin, and he's just lost a good friend, a mutual friend of his and Alice’s,” Clement says. “And so he's thinking about his entire life at that moment.” 

All six episodes of Alice and Steve are now streaming on Hulu.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have reportedly ended their relationship, according to People.

The Wicked co-stars have amicably called it quits after nearly three years of dating, according to a source who spoke to People this week.

ABC News reached out to Grande's and Slater's representatives for comment.

Slater and Grande met while working on Wicked, which began filming in December 2022. Grande played Glinda in the film, while Slater played Boq.

The pair were first photographed together at Michelle Yeoh's Oscar party in March 2023, alongside their Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo.

Grande and Slater, both of whom were married previously, were spotted together in public a few times, including in October 2023, when Grande attended Spamalot on Broadway to support Slater, who was appearing in the show.

They appeared to make their relationship Instagram official in November 2024, when they each shared the same behind-the-scenes photo of themselves at the Wicked premiere in Sydney, Australia.

When Grande was nominated for best supporting actress at the Critics Choice Awards in 2025 for her turn as Glinda, Slater spoke with ABC's Good Morning Americaon the carpet about what it was like to see Grande take on the role.

"It's really moving," Slater said at the time. "When somebody's wanted to play a role for so long, something that's meant so much to her, it's meant so much to everyone on the cast, and then everybody had to really go for it and earn these roles and deliver every day on set, I feel immensely proud of Ariana, of Cynthia, of [Jonathan Bailey], of every single person."

Grande is currently on her Eternal Sunshine Tour, which kicked off on June 6, in Oakland, California.

She is expected to make stops across North America in Los Angeles, Austin, New York, Boston, Montreal, and more, before hitting the stage at The O2 in London on Aug. 15 for a multi-show run.

Her upcoming album, petal, will be released July 31.

Nick Reiner demands trust fund money to pay for his defense, court filing shows

Nick Reiner says he needs money from his trust fund to help pay for his defense team, specifically to rehire famed defense attorney Alan Jackson, according to a new court filing. The petition alleges that Nick Reiner is entitled to the funds in his trust, which were required to be released to him when he turned 30, something he claims did not happen.

Nick Reiner, 32, was charged with the murders of his parents, renowned director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner, in December.

Nick Reiner was previously represented by Jackson, but Jackson abruptly resigned from the case in January for reasons that were not shared at the time.

The petition alleges Nick Reiner's siblings, Jake Reiner and Romy Reiner, had initially agreed to pay Jackson's fees, but in January, "Nick learned that Jackson and his firm were forced to withdraw because the anticipated funding did not materialize, and the Public Defender was appointed to take over Nick's defense."

It is not known why funding from Nick Reiner's siblings was unavailable.

"Since then, Nick has repeatedly asked that Jackson's firm resume its representation if funds become available," the petition states, adding that Jackson "has reaffirmed not only that he 'stands ready, willing, and able to resume [his] representation,' but that he is 'committed to representing' Nick and 'willing to consider reasonable alternatives to the original fee arrangement.'"

"These are not estate assets, and Nick does not seek them from his parents' estate," the petition adds. "They are his own funds. Nick has no other means -- to pay for his legal expenses, or for his basic support needs while incarcerated."

The petition specifically notes that the trust in question was created for Nick Reiner by his parents "more than 30 years ago, when Nick was an infant," and that similar "children's" trusts were also created for his siblings.

The petition argues that these children's trusts were "funded independently" of the larger family trusts that hold the Reiner family's estate, and that the terms of the independent trusts required one half to be paid out when the beneficiary turned 30, with the other half disbursed when they turned 35.

"Nick turned 30 on September 14, 2023 -- more than two and a half years ago -- at which point his right to one-half of the Trust vested and became due to him as a matter of right. But he did not receive his Mandatory Age-30 Distribution then, and he has not received it since," the petition alleges.

The petition claims the "Current Trustee" overseeing Nick Reiner's independent trust "has offered a shifting series of excuses and justifications, none of which can be reconciled with the Trust's plain terms -- most recently, unsubstantiated 'concerns' about Nick's so-called competence to 'manage a trust.'"

It adds, "Nick loved his parents, and he is devastated by their deaths. But the facts about what did and did not happen to them are not at issue in this Trust litigation."

Jackson told reporters in January that he "had to withdraw as Nick Reiner's counsel" due to "circumstances beyond our control, but more importantly, circumstances beyond Nick's control."

"Sadly, it's made it impossible for us to continue our representation of Nick," Jackson said at the time.

Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on Dec. 14, 2025. The night before their deaths, Nick Reiner -- who had been living on his parents' property at the time -- got into an argument with Rob Reiner at a holiday party and was seen acting strangely, sources told ABC News in December.

Nick Reiner was taken into custody in downtown Los Angeles hours after the bodies were discovered. He was subsequently charged with two counts of first-degree murder with the special circumstance of multiple murders, to which he pleaded not guilty.

He remains in jail on no bail. His is scheduled to appear in court for a pretrial hearing in September.

As Good as Dead is my favorite of the book series, and it’s by far my favorite season of the show too,” she says. “You’ll see Pip as you’ve never seen her before. It’s dark, breathless, horrible, and somehow still manages to be funny. Come on back to Little Kilton for the final time … if you dare.”

Myers says book three is her favorite book in the trilogy as well and tells fans, “Get ready for a crazy time!”

According to Tudum, the four-episode third season has wrapped production and will debut sometime in 2027.
