Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz star in ‘The Invite.’ (A24)
You’re invited to watch the new trailer for The Invite.
A24 has released a brand-new trailer for its upcoming romantic comedy film from director Olivia Wilde.
The Invite is Wilde’s third directorial effort after her films Booksmart and Don’t Worry Darling. It is based on director Cesc Gay’s Spanish-language film Sentimental. Will McCormack and Rashida Jones wrote its screenplay.
In addition to directing, Wilde stars alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz.
The movie follows married couple Joe (Rogen) and Angela (Wilde), who invite their upstairs neighbors Hawk (Norton) and Pina (Cruz) over for dinner, “where everything that could go wrong goes wrong,” according to an official description from the studio.
“Joe and Angela’s marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?” the film’s official synopsis reads.
The trailer finds Joe and Angela preparing to host Hawk and Pina for dinner before the other couple arrives.
“What is this?” Joe asks Angela, who says, “That’s a rug.”
“Did you buy this rug because the neighbors are coming over?” he asks, causing her to say, “Oh my God.”
When Pina and Hawk finally arrive, Joe apologizes for having a bit of a contentious environment.
“We love a contentious environment,” Hawk says in response.
The Invite arrives in select theaters on June 26 and everywhere on July 10.

Welcome to the three-comma club, Beyoncé.
She’s one of the new additions to Forbes’ 2026 America’s Richest Self-Made Women list. What put her over the top? According to the publication, it was her 2025 Cowboy Carter tour, which grossed more than $450 million in ticket sales and merchandise. Beyoncé is tied at #39 on the list with several other women, including fellow musician Rihanna.
With an estimated net worth of $1 billion, much of Rih’s wealth comes from her non-music ventures: Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. The mother of three is reportedly working on a new album, which would be her first since 2016’s Anti.
The only other musician on the list is Taylor Swift, who ranks at #23 with a net worth of $2 billion.
Forbes also named Oprah Winfrey one of America’s richest self-made women; she lands at #16. She built a media and business empire from her hit talk show, has real estate in California and Hawaii, and in 2020 sold most of her stake in the OWN channel to owner Warner Bros. Discovery in exchange for company shares. Forbes estimates her worth at $2.8 million.
The Beatles’ message of “All You Need is Love” will once again be celebrated June 25 on Global Beatles Day, and this year it’s gotten the official support of The Beatles.
The fan initiative was launched in 2009 by lifelong fan Faith Cohen. It celebrates the anniversary of the legendary band’s 1967 live performance of “All You Need is Love” on the BBC’s Our World special, which marked the first international satellite television broadcast of the song.
Apple Corps Ltd, the company founded by The Beatles, has now officially recognized the fan celebration. To mark the occasion, on June 25 it will release a colorized version of the Our World performance to YouTube for the first time.
“More than ever, the message of The Beatles, and of ‘All You Need Is Love’ speaks to something vital for community, connection, and the power of bringing people together,” Apple Corps CEO Tom Greene wrote in a recent letter to Cohen. “That is what makes Global Beatles Day so special. It asks nothing more than for people, wherever they are, to stop, listen, and share a little joy.”

Many rockers have had their instruments stolen, but few can say that their ordeal ended as happily as that of Korn bass player Ra Diaz.
According to the police department in Henderson, Nevada, several weeks ago Diaz’s entire bass collection was stolen from a storage unit — a collection he’d spent years building. But when a local saw one of the stolen basses being sold at a store, they called the Property Crimes Unit; an officer went on to recover every one of Diaz’s stolen instruments.
One of the recovered instruments is decorated with the Chilean flag, which Diaz had planned to play in his home country during the band’s concert there in May. In a new video posted by the department, Diaz, speaking from Chile, offered his thanks.
“Honestly, getting this Chilean flag bass [back] was pretty emotional. It means a lot to me personally … so having it again in my hands, it’s huge,” Diaz said. He added that he dedicated the band’s show to “not only all my Chilean friends and family and people” but also to “the men and women of the Henderson Police Department.”
He added, “We really appreciate everything you do for us, so thank you so much.”
In April, Korn premiered their first new music in four years with the single “Reward the Scars,” which they recorded for the Diablo IV video game.
Following a series of shows in South America and Mexico, Korn will start a run of European and U.K. dates in October.

Katy Perry has added another stop to her summer European festival tour, thanks to Dua Lipa.
Dua posted a video on Instagram featuring a phone call from Katy, who tells her rehearsals for her summer festival run are “intense.”
“I’m going all over Europe, June to the end of August,” she says.
“Amazing,” Dua responds. “Are you gonna be anywhere where I can come see you?”
“I’m actually gonna be in this place called Prishtina,” Katy answers, referring to the capital of Kosovo, where Dua’s family is from and where she spent part of her childhood.
“No way,” says Dua. “What are you doing there?”
“Funny you should ask,” Katy replies, grinning. “I’m actually playing this festival called the Sunny Hill Festival!”
The Sunny Hill Festival is organized each year by Dua and her father. While Dua typically performs at the event, she also books a wide variety of international talent.
“Oh my God! You’re coming to my hometown, KP!” yells Dua.
“I just wanna say thank you so much for inviting me to come there,” Katy says. “Because I have so many fans that I’m excited to meet. And of course, all of your fans as well. Are you gonna be there?”
Dua tells her, “I’m gonna be there, singing every single word!”
The Sunny Hill Festival runs from July 31 through Aug. 2, with Katy set to perform on opening night. Past Sunny Hill Festival performers have included Miley Cyrus, Calvin Harris, Bebe Rexha and Shawn Mendes.
Musical guest Violet Grohl performs on Wednesday, June 3, 2026Todd Owyoung/NBC
Violet Grohl made her solo TV debut Wednesday night on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
The singer performed “Bug in the Cake,” a track off her recently released debut album, Be Sweet to Me.
While this may have been her TV debut as a solo artist, Violet has previously performed on TV with her rock star dad, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl.
Violet recently launched her first-ever headlining tour in Los Angeles. She’s due to play in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday. She also just added 18 new headlining shows, including stops in Boston, Milwaukee, Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix and Denver. Tickets for all new shows go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

After dedicating the movie to all the members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers both past and present, “and most importantly,” to late EWF founder Maurice White, Questlove said, “I desperately wanted to figure out, how can I contribute to the chaos that we’re living in right now.”
He added, “This [film] allowed me to tell a metaphysical story about how nine individuals sort of tricked us into positivity. And that’s what I want you people to take from this.”
With commentary from Stevie Wonder, Barack and Michelle Obama, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Anderson .Paak, H.E.R., Jimmy Jam and Lionel Richie, the doc tells the story of how Maurice White, the product of a traumatic childhood, manifested his goal of creating “music for a universal audience” with a visionary blend of soul, funk, R&B, Afro-futurism, jazz and pop.
Over 100 million record sales, legendary concert tours, a string of hits and six Grammys followed, but so did financial issues and interpersonal struggles between Maurice and the other bandmembers.
The film also details EWF’s impact on fellow musicians: Stevie Wonder admits he ripped off EWF’s “Shining Star” for his own song “I Wish,” Michael Jackson showed up to EWF’s tour with a “yellow legal pad” to take notes, and Prince told EWF’s manager that after he saw the group live, he “wanted to quit.”
Following the screening, the current EWF lineup, including Philip Bailey, Ralph Johnson and Verdine White, took the stage at New York’s Beacon Theatre with The Roots to perform “Shining Star,” “That’s the Way of the World” and, of course, “September.”

(SEOUL, South Korea) — South Korea’s ruling Democratic Party swept nationwide local elections Wednesday, tightening President Lee Jae Myung’s grip on power one year into his term, though the conservative opposition captured Seoul’s mayor’s office.
The vote drew 61% turnout, the highest for a local election in three decades.
Lee enters his second year Thursday with approval ratings around 60%, according to South Korea’s major pollsters. That is the second-highest at the one-year mark since 1987, behind only former President Moon Jae-in.
When South Koreans elected Lee a year ago, they did so in the wreckage of a constitutional crisis after then-President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law on Dec. 3, 2024, vowing to “eradicate the anti-state forces.”
He sent troops toward the National Assembly to stop lawmakers from voting it down. The attempt failed within hours, and Yoon was impeached and removed by the Constitutional Court four months later, triggering the snap election that made Lee president.
Governing out loud
Lee has made the presidency unusually public. He live-streams weekly cabinet meetings, a first in Korean history, and his office briefs on camera far more than its predecessor.
Lee also uses social media to announce policy, rebut coverage he disputes, take questions and air his opinions — often without the vetting a formal statement would get. Aides call it a deliberate effort to reach citizens directly rather than through the traditional layers of staff that usually filter a president.
“Unlike politicians before him, he’s citizen-friendly — clearly distinct,” said Park Myoung-ho, a political science professor at Dongguk University.
His style has drawn criticism, however. In May, Lee used social media to attack Starbucks Korea over a promotion that critics linked to a 1980 massacre of pro-democracy protesters, branding the company “low-grade profiteers” guilty of “gutter-level behavior.”
“Given how much power a president holds, it’s too direct and too unfiltered,” said Lee Hyun-woo, who teaches political process at Sogang University and warned that the president’s posts are often misread because Koreans are used to presidents speaking in measured, formal language.
A record-breaking market
The benchmark KOSPI, which bottomed out near 2,300 in April 2025 after President Donald Trump’s tariffs, has surged to a record high above 8,700, blowing past Lee’s campaign pledge to reach 5,000. The rally has been catalyzed by a global boom in semiconductors and AI infrastructure that has lifted companies like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
But rising share prices have not reached many ordinary households across the country and home prices around Seoul are starting to climbing again and is testing one of Lee’s central promises.
Walking the line between Washington and Beijing
Lee’s central foreign-policy bet has been that South Korea no longer has to choose between its U.S. alliance and its largest trading partner, China — an approach his government calls “national-interest-centered pragmatism” — and within seven months of taking office, he had held summits with the leaders of the United States, China and Japan.
“On foreign policy, he’s done better than expected,” said Shin Yul, a political science and diplomacy professor at Myongji University.
But the results have been mixed. Lee repaired ties with Japan, but his January state visit to Beijing largely fell flat.
His pragmatism faced a major test in February when the war between Iran and a U.S.-Israeli coalition threatened the Strait of Hormuz, the route for much of South Korea’s oil imports.
Lee’s government leaned on national reserves, increased purchases of U.S. crude and secured replacement supplies from outside the region. A senior presidential official said the effort, together with the market’s resilience, helped keep Lee’s approval ratings steady through the spring.
Two presidents, two reckonings
In February, a Seoul court sentenced former President Yoon to life in prison for the martial-law attempt; his former defense minister got 30 years. To Lee’s supporters it was accountability for an assault on democracy. To Yoon’s base, it felt like political revenge.
But Lee carries his own legal shadow. He took office facing five criminal trials, including corruption, subornation of perjury and illegal fund transfers to North Korea, which were all frozen once he became president.
His Democratic Party then went further by pushing a special counsel that could cancel the charges against him outright — a move Lee declined to endorse or oppose publicly.
To Shin, the silence was strategic. Lee’s side, he said, “will try to get the charges dropped,” likely using the special counsel “to pursue cancellation of the cases against him.”
The push drew public backlash and many analysts read the local-election result as a warning from voters wary of a governing party clearing its own leader.
“This may be President Lee’s Achilles’ heel,” said Park. “I suspect he himself feels a real burden over it.”
For Lee Hyun-woo, the principle is simple: “Serving well and being remembered as a great president, and paying for crimes committed in the past, are entirely separate matters.”
