Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet star in the sports comedy-drama Marty Supreme, which debuted in theaters in December 2025 after premiering earlier that fall at the New York Film Festival. Directed by Josh Safdie, the film quickly generated buzz for its unusual premise centered on the world of professional table tennis as well as the pairing of its two high-profile leads.

During production, the movie made headlines when Paltrow revealed she wasn’t familiar with the role of an intimacy coordinator — a comment that surfaced shortly after she and Chalamet were spotted filming PDA-heavy scenes together. “There’s now something called an intimacy coordinator, which I did not know existed,” she told Vanity Fair. “Girl, I’m from the era where you get naked, you get in bed, the camera’s on.”

Safdie has also praised Paltrow’s on-screen presence, telling the outlet, “She’s a movie star… she’s got a gravitational pull that only a camera can depict,” adding that her time away from acting has given her performances “a vulnerability.”

Since its debut, the film has made a strong showing during awards season, earning nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Chalamet, who also won Golden Globe and Critics Choice awards for his performance.

Below, find everything there is to know about the film, including its plot, cast, where to watch it and more.

​What Is Marty Supreme About?

According to Paltrow, the film follows “This woman who is married to someone who is in the ping-pong mafia, as it were.” She explained,”They meet and she’s had a pretty tough life, and I think he breathes life back into her, but it’s kind of transactional for them both.” The titular character, Marty (Chalamet), is the ping-pong player.

Marty Supreme Release Date

The film was released on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, according to IMDb.

Marty Supreme Cast

Per IMDb, alongside Chalamet and Paltrow, the film stars Sandra Bernhard, Fran Drescher, Abel Ferrara, and others. Speaking about Chalamet, Paltrow told Vanity Fair, “He’s just a very polite, properly raised, I was going to say kid. He’s a man who takes his work really seriously and is a fun partner.”

Alongside Chalamet and Paltrow, the ensemble includes Sandra Bernhard, Fran Drescher, Abel Ferrara, Tyler, The Creator, Adam Sandler, and Rachel Sennott in supporting roles.

Where to Watch Marty Supreme

Marty Supreme is currently available to rent or buy on video-on-demand platforms, including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. The film became available for digital purchase and rental in February 2026, allowing viewers to watch it at home after its theatrical run.

For those waiting for a subscription streaming option, the movie is expected to arrive on HBO Max, though an official streaming date has not yet been announced. A24 films typically debut on the platform a few months after their theatrical release.​

Local host and busker Karyn Wong nearly had to press pause on her street performances after realising she had only days left to renew her Letter of Endorsement (LOE), commonly known as a busking license.

In a recent Instagram video, the 36-year-old shared her relief after successfully completing the renewal online, just days before the March 18 deadline.

“I almost cannot busk anymore ‘cos my LOE is expiring,” she said in the video, explaining she only realised on March 12 that her licence was due for renewal. She had received an email about the renewal in February.

Cutting it a little close, no?

Thankfully, the renewal process was far less dramatic than her near-miss. After keying in her serial number and details online, Karyn received confirmation within minutes.

The LOE, issued by the National Arts Council (NAC), is required for anyone who wants to busk legally in Singapore.

In the video, Karyn also broke down the process for aspiring buskers. New performers must first apply for an NAC audition. Successful applicants receive an LOE valid for one year.

After the first year, buskers are assessed again to ensure they remain active. Once they clear that stage, subsequent renewals are granted for two years at a time and can be completed online.

​“It didn’t used to be so convenient,” Karyn noted. “Last time, I had to go for auditions every single year, fight for spots every single time. Now NAC made changes, so I just have to go online and renew my busking license.”

There are currently more than 90 designated busking spots across Singapore, including high-footfall areas like Orchard Road, Clarke Quay and various heartland town centres, which licensed performers can book via an online system.

Cheryl Wee, 38, had known she wanted to be an actress since she was four. But in 2016, after making her big-screen debut as a leading actress in My Love Sinema, she left showbiz just as her career appeared to be taking off.

In the latest episode of The Irene Ang Show, Cheryl opens up to Irene, who was executive producer on My Love Sinema, about her struggles with body image, and the challenges she faced before deciding to step away from what had always been her dream.

When asked about her "sudden disappearance" from showbiz, Cheryl revealed: "Before [appearing in] My Love Sinema, I was in the midst of an eating disorder. Not only that, I had a body dysmorphic disorder where I didn't want to see my own body. I thought I was very fat, and I had this extreme phobia of people saying I was fat, and I was only 40kg."

Cheryl admitted to "really spiralling" when she was in Taiwan for work. She faced intense scrutiny when it came to how she looked, and would not be considered for roles because her face was "too round". 

"I couldn't do anything 'cos my face is like that. But then you start to believe that you're fat," said Cheryl, adding that while talent is also important for an actress, the "look" is also of priority.

She would binge on cakes, ice cream, and bread in a single sitting, then skip meals for the next three days, surviving only on detox drinks because she "felt guilty". She even came up with a "diet plan" where for three days, she only drank three cups of oat milk a day, but continued exercising and working.

Her eating disorder became so severe that she stopped having her periods after returning to Singapore. Her condition didn’t improve, as she was surrounded by actresses who were also anxious about their body image and weight.

When asked how she eventually began healing from her eating disorder, Cheryl said: "I got pregnant."

Her first child, a son, was born in 2018, with Cheryl admitting that he was a "miracle child", given that she was not having her periods.

"One of the things I did was that I prayed a lot. I prayed 'God just don't let go of me' because I felt like something was not right with me," said Cheryl who explained that at that time, she could be having a conversation with someone, but found it hard to be present.

She added: "My comfort zone was when I was reading about dieting, and when I was dieting."

Thankfully, becoming a mother helped her break free from her self-destructive habits, and she eventually recovered from her eating disorder.

Addressing her departure from showbiz, Cheryl said: "I was one-part proud of myself because I was doing things that I loved, but I felt so bad because I couldn't give my 100 per cent. I felt that I could be better, because although I could do my lines and everything, I was still holding back 20 per cent as I was very conscious about how I looked."

"When you are not conscious, that's when you can fully give yourself [to acting] because then it's not about how I look, but about the character or role," she added.

After overcoming her struggles with body image, Cheryl turned her focus to her family and her business.

In 2016, she founded the wellness and weight management brand Cheryl W, now known as CW (Company of Wellness). The company focuses on holistic health, positive body image and sustainable weight management for women.

Cheryl has also been involved with her mother’s beauty brand, Jean Yip Group, contributing to aspects of the business while running her own company.

Despite all that, Cheryl's love for performing has endured.

At the start of her career, she joined pageants to showcase her talent and pursue opportunities in showbiz. She worked for years, competing in multiple pageants to get a foothold in the industry, and is now ready to return to her dream.

When asked if motherhood had shifted her perspective on performing and fame, Cheryl confessed: "I don't think you can really forget about it to be honest. It's something that's always been in the back of my head. I really thought it was done and dusted, I am proud of it, I tried my best."

Irene replied: "You've matured, you have more experience, you've experienced childbirth, I feel like you should come back to the industry and give it one more shot."

She then announced that Cheryl had been offered a three-year contract with her company, Fly Entertainment, and that she wants to work together with her to restart her showbiz dreams.

"And you know what? I will tell my 10-year-old self 'I got to work with Rosie!'" cheered Cheryl, referencing Irene's character in Phua Chu Kang.

She added: "It's never really left my heart because I have this interest and passion, and I'm in a place right now where I have my priorities right, where it's not about just how [I] look. It's about the passion for this industry, and I think this industry is so amazing where you can put out works that can inspire and influence. It would be a privilege to be part of that."

So does this mean we'll see Cheryl in her showbiz comeback soon?

It might have taken six years for Jeanette Aw to make her Ch 8 comeback, but we think the 46-year-old is definitely enjoying herself a lot more on set now.

“I still have expectations for myself, but I won’t put pressure on my co-stars anymore," Jeannette candidly told reporters at the press conference for her new drama Highway to Somewhere.

In the new gripping thriller series, Jeanette plays Liu Huizhen, whose marriage with Zhang Fangda (Romeo Tan) is on the brink of collapse. They attempt to mend their relationship through a road trip, but their journey takes a daunting twist no thanks to a mysterious stalker, played by Nick Teo.

The actress stepped away from full-time acting in 2017 before launching her own artisanal patisserie Once Upon A Time. Her last Mediacorp drama prior to this was 2019's After The Stars.

Reflecting on her character, Jeanette noted that she and Huizhen share similar qualities, as both are very direct and candid.

“I feel that there’s no need to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it directly so everyone understands.”

The actress, however, acknowledged that her high standards for herself and blunt personality made her appear strict and unapproachable on set.

“Many actors who have worked with me felt a lot of pressure, because I expect a lot from myself and unconsciously expect the same from my co-stars. And since I speak very directly, sometimes I end up hurting others," she recalled.

But this time, she noticed she's no longer the same as before: “I’ve become happier and more relaxed, and I’ve let go of many things".

Truth is, in the past, Jeanette didn't like communicating or chatting with others while filming.

“I felt that when you come to the set, you should just focus on acting. Don’t come talk to me about random things," she said, adding that she now even takes the initiative to chat with others.

“Nowadays, I’m curious about people. I want to know their thoughts and experiences, so I start conversations.”

Jeanette attributed the change to her experience of hosting her own YouTube series JA Unscripted.

“My biggest takeaway is being able to interact with many people and gain different inspirations from them. Their shared experiences have changed me greatly without me even realising it," she explained.

​Besides a shift in mindset, she also became more tactful when expressing herself.

“Previously, if I felt my co-actor could do better in a scene, I would say very directly: ‘Why don’t you try doing it this way?’ But now I take the other person’s feelings into consideration and suggest it more gently," she said.

"I’ll also see how receptive they are, if they resist, I won’t force it," added Jeanette.

When it comes to tracking down lost items, you can always count on netizens to come through.

Recently, Taiwanese actor Kai Ko took to his socials to ask for help when he lost his Hermès card holder.

​The 34-year-old's card holder contained NT$10,000 (S$403), credits cards, and several protective talismans.

Based on the photo, Kai's purse appears to be the Calvi Duo compact card holder, which currently retails at S$ 940 on the Hermès website.

He shared in detail the route he had taken that day and asked netizens to help locate the wallet. His post quickly drew widespread attention online.

Many commented that they would help repost the message, while others stated that they were “going on a mission to find it.”

And they sure did not disappoint.

About 10 hours later, a netizen commented that they had found the wallet and posted a photo of themselves holding it. They also told Kai to check his private messages to get in touch.

The actor later updated in a new post that he'd successfully retrieved the wallet and expressed gratitude to everyone who helped.

Korean singer-songwriter 10cm, aka Kwon Jung Yeol, held his Singapore concert on March 14 at The Theatre at Mediacorp, but has since offered a full refund to concert attendees. Come again?

The 43-year-old unfortunately experienced vocal issues during the show, and the performance didn’t quite meet the usual standards he aimed to deliver.

Despite completing the entire concert, it was later announced that all attendees that night would receive a full refund for their tickets.

Concert organiser FriedRice Entertainment addressed the situation in a statement: "Due to a sudden decline in the artist’s throat condition, he received medical attention from local medical staff on the day of the show. However, in consideration of the fans who had been looking forward to the performance and came to the venue, the concert proceeded as scheduled in accordance with the artist’s wish to go on stage."

They also apologised to fans for the experience, and for being "unable to present a fully complete performance in the artist’s best condition". Concert-goers were later informed that they would receive a full refund via the purchasing platform, Ticketmaster, through their original mode of payment.

10CM has since received an outpouring of support and praise from fans, many of whom commended his professionalism in carrying on with the show despite not being in the best condition. Some even said that, if given the choice, they would forgo their refund and would rather see the singer fully compensated for his performance. One attendee recalled that 10CM did his best to perform his hit songs.

But if you're hoping to see any videos from the gig, tough luck. According to netizens, the singer asked fans not to record any of the performances that night.

Still, fans who attended the concert were full of praise for the singer.

"Good show! It was not that bad. His voice was just great," penned a fan.

​Another concert-goer echoed similar sentiments: "I attended the concert and I really appreciate 10cm’s thoughtfulness and kindness throughout the whole concert. He continued on the concert despite feeling unwell. He’s so professional. He even extended hi-bye sessions to all attendees… sweetest artist ever."

10CM originally debuted in 2010 as an indie duo made up of Kwon Jung Yeol and Yoon Cheol Jong. After the latter's departure in 2017, Jung Yeol continued to promote as a solo artist under the band’s name. He is known for hits like 'Americano' and 'Phonecert', and has also earned fans with his K‑drama original soundtracks, including 'Tell Me It’s Not a Dream' from Queen of Tears and 'Spring Snow' from Lovely Runner.

Those who watched Holland V back in 2003 would know that Patricia Mok played a pivotal role in the iconic Mediacorp long-form series.

The 54-year-old actress played Mo Lingling, the demure and kind second sister of the Mo family, who can get real feisty when provoked or bullied by her husband, Tian Dahua (played by Huang Yiliang).

While Patricia undoubtedly delivered a memorable performance, who would have imagined that some people questioned her ability even before production began?

In a recent episode of The Irene Ang Show, Patricia recalled having a meeting with the executive producer, presumably Holland V's producer Kwek Leng Soong, at that time.

"She said something that [gave me the resolve] to show people that I can do it," she said.

According to the actress, there was group of people who thought that she couldn't do it, and even said that they would not sponsor the show if Patricia was cast for that role.

The EP, however, fought for her, especially since the show's writer, Ang Eng Tee, also said that he'd written the role specifically for Patricia.

"Because there was this particular line that said: 'Look at me, I'm so ugly and I don't have a nice figure. If I don't marry him, who else would want me?' This line was actually very true about myself," said Patricia, tearing up.

​"When I read the script, I think the role related to me very, very well," she added while wiping away tears.

It's why when the EP told her that there was this group of people who were not supportive of her getting the role, she told herself that she had to work hard and prove them wrong.

Needless to say, Patricia silenced the critics, especially when she snagged the Best Supporting Actress trophy at Star Awards that year for her stellar performance in Holland V.

"For me, even if I didn't win Best Supporting Actress, it's okay, because I had the whole Singapore and people from Malaysia who said that I did very well," she said.

In their first dialect video podcast, LOVE 972’s The Breakfast Quartet — Mark Lee, 57, Marcus Chin, 73, Dennis Chew, 52, and Chen Biyu, 58 — discussed the topic of situationships.

And not all of the jocks could agree with the concept of undefined, non-committal romantic or sexual relationships, a relationship dynamic that, well, most likely was not that common during their dating era.

As Mark puts it, people in situationships are “just trying things out”.

When he learned that some situationships involve sexual relationships, Mark exclaimed: “That’s scary, you guys are too casual, and I’m already quite a liberal person.”

“Why are they so open, don’t their parents know about it?” asked Biyu. Dennis replies that parents these days are aware, but “can’t do anything about it”.

Mark also believes that regardless of gender, they are “at a disadvantage” if they agree to a situationship.

Marcus then asked: “Is it right to say that when two parties are not ‘confirmed’ and they are not in love with each other, whatever they do with each other, they can do it with others too?”

Dennis immediately responded with a firm “yes”.

It prompted immediate cries of “cannot” from Mark and Biyu.

Biyu added: “In the past it used to be about asking the other party if they want to be your girlfriend or boyfriend first, then you go steady, and then you start holding hands. These days, the sequence is reversed.”

The conversation then took a comical turn when Mark jokingly says he should call his daughter, who turns 18 this year, to ask if she has “confirmed” things with the guy she’s seeing.

On how he approaches the topic of relationships with her, he shared: “I told her holding hands and kissing is okay, but everything else is not. If she wants to bring her boyfriend home, she has to keep the door open, and she’s not allowed to stay over at her boyfriend’s home either.”

Biyu’s rejection of situationships isn’t limited to young people, saying she wouldn’t accept such a dynamic even at her age — not even if the other party were her idol... like Ayden Sng or Andy Lau.

“I think there needs to be commitment and promise,” she added.

Mark offered an analogy: “Let’s say you see an item you like and you want to buy it, you have to pay before it’s yours. You can’t tell the seller the piece of clothing is nice and you want to try wearing it first.”

Dennis then confessed that he can accept situationships.

“I feel that the important thing is whether the individual is happy, and whether both parties are on the same page. If they click, then they make things official, right?” he said. 

Biyu added that it’s fine as long as both parties share the same non-committal mindset and won’t be hurt if one person ends up falling harder than the other — though she believes the risk of that happening is high.

​“Young people in relationships understand the idea behind it,” Dennis added.

While Marcus isn’t entirely convinced by the concept, he said: “The reason I accept it is because I feel that young people make their own choices, and it’s their own issue [to deal with]. It’s a new generation, and it isn’t up to us to say whether it’s right or wrong.”

“It’s not wrong, but it’s best they don’t do it,” Mark chimed in.

What’s your stance on situationships?
