Emma Stone is opening up about how she shaved her head for a film role.

The actress talked about shaving off her signature red hair for the character she plays in frequent collaborator Yorgos Lanthimos‘ upcoming film, Bugonia, in a recent Vogue cover story.

In Bugonia, Stone plays a pharmaceutical CEO who gets kidnapped by two conspiracy theorists played by Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis. The duo believe the hostage’s hair has to change dramatically, so they shave her head with an electric clipper.

“No better feeling in the world,” Stone said about shaving her head. “The first shower when you’ve shaved your head? Oh my God, it’s amazing.”

Plemons said he was nervous about filming the scene. “It was like, ‘Here we go—Emily has shaved her head,’” he said. “We better make this good!”

Even though she enjoyed the experience, Stone said right before filming the scene, she burst into tears remembering how her mother lost her hair while in treatment for breast cancer.

“She actually did something brave,” Stone remembers thinking at the time. “I’m just shaving my head.”

Her mother, Krista Stone, ended up being envious of her new look. “My mom was like, ‘I’m so jealous. I want to shave my head again,’” the actress said.

Stone’s longtime friend Jennifer Lawrence told the outlet she “didn’t want her to shave her head.”

“I had already lived through the Billie Jean King haircut,” Lawrence said, referencing Stone’s 2017 film Battle of the Sexes.

Even still, Lawrence says, “she looked beautiful” with a shaved head. “She pulled it off.”

You can see Stone’s shaved head for yourself when Bugonia arrives in theaters on Oct. 31.

Apple TV+ has released a first-look clip of Mr. Scorsese, the upcoming five-part documentary event about the Academy Award-winning filmmaker.

In the clip, Scorsese and many of his movie-making friends, including Steven Spielberg, discuss how the director’s cut of Taxi Driver almost did not come to be. The group also talks about the lengths Scorsese was willing to go to to make sure the film was protected.

Miller believes the film “will resonate with everyone from dedicated Scorsese fans to anyone who has grappled with failure and reached for stars,” she said in a press release.

The documentary “is a portrait of a man through the lens of his work, exploring the many facets of a visionary who redefined filmmaking, including his extraordinary career and unique personal history,” according to an official description.

It also features interviews with Robert De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Robbie Robertson, Thelma Schoonmaker, Sharon Stone, Jodie Foster, Paul Schrader, Margot Robbie and Cate Blanchett, as well as Scorsese’s children, his wife, Helen Morris, and several of his close childhood friends.

Sophie Turner is responding to a critic who mom-shamed her.

The actress, who shares daughters Willa Jonas and Delphine Jonas with ex-husband Joe Jonas, defended herself in a response to an Instagram comment on her post about attending an Oasis concert.

Turner shared memories from her evening at the Oasis concert to her Instagram. The post included everything from concert videos and pictures of her smiling with friends to a photo of her kissing a poster of Oasis member Liam Gallagher.

“Bucket hats & beers…. That’ll do me. Thank you @levis,” Turner captioned her post.

One Instagram user commented, “Lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.”

While several fans defended Turner in the comments section, the actress responded to the user herself.

“Ah I’m so sorry sometimes I forget some people can’t think for themselves,” Turner wrote. “So…. Get this….There’s this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.”

The response garnered support from fans of Turner.

“Queen of the North and of The Comebacks,” a fan commented, while another addressed the double standard involved, writing, “Would you say this to Joe?”

Turner married Jonas in 2019. The latter filed for divorce in September 2023, with the pair reaching a settlement in September 2024.

Alicia Silverstone has shared an update on the Clueless TV series.

The actress spoke about what fans can expect from the upcoming Peacock show that continues the story from the 1995 Amy Heckerling film while guesting on Today.

“I’m really excited about it,” Silverstone said. “I think we’re going to try really hard. The goal is to make it honor what everyone loves about Clueless and Cher.”

Silverstone also said she wants to pay tribute to the source material but also create something new.

Does your dog have what it takes to be the next Air Bud?

A nationwide casting call has opened up to find the next golden retriever to star in the upcoming film Air Bud Returns.

Robert Vince, who created the Air Bud franchise and has produced all 14 of its films, made the announcement in a video shared to the official Air Bud TV YouTube channel on Friday.

“For the first time ever, we’re opening up the auditions for the next Air Bud,” Vince said, before introducing the film’s lead animal trainer, Mark Forbes.

“We’re launching a nationwide search for our final star. We need a dog who is a purebred golden retriever, who’s athletic, and, ideally, he would love basketball just like the original Air Bud,” Forbes said.

The first Air Bud film was released in 1997 and starred Kevin Zegers.

This new film follows 12-year-old Jacob, who has always dreamed of being a basketball player. After his dad passes away, he feels like his dream might be impossible, until he “discovers an original VHS of the Air Bud movie in his father’s belongings and has a chance meeting of a stray golden retriever he names Buddy,” according to an official synopsis. “Together they embark on a journey of healing, unite a team of misfits, and chase a championship. Through it all they learn to play from the heart, believe in each other, and always take the shot!”

Air Bud Returns comes to theaters in summer 2026.
