Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman star in ‘Practical Magic 2’ official trailer

June 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

We come to this official trailer for magic.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official trailer for Practical Magic 2. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman once again star as the magical Owens sisters in this highly anticipated sequel to the 1998 film Practical Magic.

Along with Bullock and Kidman, who are both producing the project, the film stars Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, Xolo Maridueña, Solly McLeod, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest.

Practical Magic 2 follows the Owens sisters as they “must confront the dark curse that threatens to unravel their family once and for all in a must-see cinematic event of fun, magic and mayhem,” according to an official description from Warner Bros.

The trailer finds all of the Owens women living in the same picturesque white home by the water from the first film.

“No magic is stronger than sisterhood,” Channing’s Franny says in the trailer. “Cast by fate, tested by time and never broken.”

We also see the daughters of Bullock’s Sally Owens and Kidman’s Gillian Owens dreaming about romantic love — and doubting the family curse. That doubt causes heartbreak when Kylie (King) finds her boyfriend dead.

“Kylie said she’s gonna go fix the curse,” Gillian says later in the trailer.

“This will lead her into the dark path,” Franny responds. “If you want to find her, you have to work together.”

Susanne Bier directed the film from a script by Akiva Goldsman and Georgia Pritchett. It’s based on the novel The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman.

Practical Magic 2 debuts to theaters on Sept. 11.

Suspect arrested in back-to-back blowgun dart shootings in Cleveland

June 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(CLEVELAND) — A man suspected of shooting two people with blowgun darts in back-to-back broad daylight attacks this week in the same Cleveland, Ohio, neighborhood, has been arrested, police said on Wednesday.

The 42-year-old suspect, whose name was not immediately released, was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of felony assault following a two-day manhunt, according to the Cleveland Police Department.

One of the victims was shot multiple times with blow darts and had to undergo surgery, according to police.

The bizarre attacks unfolded around 4 p.m. local time on Monday in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood of west Cleveland, police said in a statement to ABC News on Wednesday morning.

A woman targeted in the first incident alleged the suspect, whom she recognized from the neighborhood, verbally insulted her and struck her in the face with his hand in an unprovoked attack, according to the police statement.

The victim alleged that a short time later, the suspect confronted her again in the parking lot of a Family Dollar store, according to the police report. The man allegedly pulled out a blow-dart gun and fired it repeatedly at the woman, striking her with needle-like darts at least five times, according to police.

“Upon arrival, officers located a 56-year-old woman who had been struck with several long-needle darts,” police said.

She was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, where she underwent surgery to remove one of the darts that pierced her liver, according to police.

While at the hospital with the first victim, police received a report that a second person had been shot with a blowdart gun in the same Clark-Fulton neighborhood near the busy intersection of West 25th Street and Clark Ave., according to police.

Officers who responded to the scene in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood discovered a 40-year-old man suffering from wounds in the blowgun dart attack, police said.

“The victim stated that he was in the area of West 25th Street when an unknown male shot him with a blow dart. He reported running from the area and calling 911,” according to the police report.

The victim was treated at a hospital for his injuries, police said.

A search was immediately launched, according to police. On Wednesday, officers arrested the suspect after spotting him in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood, according to the police statement.

During the arrest, officers recovered a blowgun as evidence, police said.

June 24, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Bailey Zimmerman is speaking out about the incident at Sandia Resort & Casino that led to the cancellation of his May 27 show in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and resulted in him facing felony and misdemeanor criminal charges.

In a statement provided to ABC Audio by his publicist, Bailey writes, “First things first, I want to apologize to the Pueblo of Sandia and to everyone at Sandia Resort & Casino. I never meant for any of this to come across as disrespectful. I am deeply sorry for my actions that transpired. I respect your community and the hospitality and appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to perform on Native Land. I take full accountability for everything that happened and I am sorry to anyone who feels hurt or disrespected.”

He goes on to address the effect on his supporters, saying, “To my fans who bought tickets and showed up expecting a performance, I am so sorry, you deserved better from me. I understand that being a musician comes with big responsibilities, both on and off stage, and I know that I fell short that day. I am reflecting on the disappointment and concern that I caused.”

The “Chevy Silverado” hitmaker now faces a felony charge for criminal damage to property (over $1,000) and a misdemeanor charge of falsely obtaining services in New Mexico, according to a June 18 court filing.

“I am taking this legal matter seriously,” he closes. “I am committed to doing the work necessary to learn and grow. Thank you to my fans for holding me accountable and for understanding that I am human. I do not take your support for granted.”

According to People, Bailey allegedly seemed intoxicated at soundcheck, resulting in the show’s cancellation. His hotel room allegedly was left with $16,000 worth of damages, as well as a $400 unsettled bill for alcohol. The arrest warrant was issued when the resort was unable to reach him.

While posting a carousel of photos from her recent concerts in the LA area on Instagram, Ariana Grande inadvertently included a photo that shows her bare breast, visible due to the gaping neckline of her dress. She’s responded by unearthing a Halloween video she seemingly filmed in 2023.

In the video, posted on her Instagram Story and captured by a fan, Ariana, wearing a curly blond wig, is shown sitting at a table in Las Vegas, drinking champagne with her buddy Elizabeth Gillies.

“You have great t***,” says Elizabeth admiringly. “They’re really beautiful.”

“Thank you,” responds Ari.

This is a word-for-word reenactment of a scene from the cult movie Showgirls: Elizabeth is playing Gina Gershon’s character, Cristal, while Ari is playing Elizabeth Berkley’s character, Nomi. The two pals filmed an entire tribute to Showgirls for Halloween 2023; this was seemingly part of that tribute. Elizabeth also posted it in an Instagram Story.
