Does Mother always know best? Both Academy Award winners Chastain and Hathaway want to know as they tease a new trailer for their thriller Mother’s Instinct.

Earlier today, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain in a joint collab post on Instagram shared a clip of their new movie with the caption, “Does Mother always know best? Come see us pals tackle that question and each other in #MothersInstinct Coming to select theatres in the US on July 26th! 👯‍♀️”

“Something is broken inside of me, and I need you,” Hathaway asks Chastain at one point in the trailer, setting up a turning point for the characters they play.

With the look and feel of an Alfred Hitchcock thriller, the 47-year-old Good Nurse actor who plays Alice battles with the 41-year-old Les Misérables actor’s Celine in a cat-and-mouse game where their sisterly bond unravels and the darker side of their maternal instincts runs riot.

The movie is adapted from Barbara Abel‘s novel, Mothers’ Instinct or more accurately Derrière la Haine. And like the novel, the movie Mother’s Instinct is a dark, twisty domestic thriller in which the bond between two women—best friends, next-door neighbors and mothers—mutates in dangerous and deadly ways in the wake of a tragic accident involving one of their sons accidentally falling out of a second-floor window. The film transforms two 1960s housewives who have their picturesque families and homes into frenzied women torn apart by grief, guilt, and paranoia.

This film marks  French cinematographer Benoît Delhomme’s directorial debut after years of work as a Director of Photography (DP). Previous credits include the films Lawless, A Most Wanted Man, The Theory of Everything, At Eternity’s Gate, Minamata, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover.

Delhomme was a late replacement for director Olivier Masset-Depasse, who certainly did have a handle on the material. Masset-Depasse won a record-breaking nine Magritte Awards from the Belgian Academy including Best Film and Best Director for the original film Duelles, from which Mothers’ Instinct has been closely adapted.

The film already opened in Europe in March earlier this year. For the U.S., Mother’s Instinct opens in select theaters on July 26 and on digital on August 13.

Local influencer and content creator Naomi Neo was treated to a rude shock when she learned that her Japanese restaurant Shinrai had been burgled and some $3,400 cash stolen on Tuesday night (Dec 3).

Naomi, 28, shared about the break-in with her followers on Instagram Stories, posting CCTV footage of the burglary.

In the video, a man dressed in a hoodie could be seen opening the cash register and helping himself to the cash.

She noted that the guy had gloves on.

Apparently due to her penchant for creating skits and pranks, some of Naomi’s followers thought it was “an act”.

In response, she posted pics of a damaged doorknob and cash register being wiped of $100 bills, with the caption: “Wish this was actually a joke.”

She also shared CCTV images of the police conducting investigations in the Telok Ayer restaurant.

“Hope this clears any doubt,” she wrote.

In statement by the police on Dec 5, it confirmed officers were alerted to the case of housebreaking and theft at around 10.20pm on Dec 3.

​They were able to identify the suspect through CCTV and police camera images, and a 23-year-old man was arrested the next day.

Cash amounting to $2,400 was also recovered.

The man will be charged in court on Dec 6 with the offence of housebreaking and theft.

If convicted, he will face a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine.

If you’re a fan of Yang Mi, there's a restaurant on Tan Quee Lan Street that you might want to check out.

A few netizens recently took to Chinese social media Xiaohongshu to rave about the lady boss of Zui Yun Nan restaurant which sells Yunnan cuisine.

The reason? They say she looks a lot like the Chinese actress.

From the photos online, the lady boss is always seen wearing the traditional costume of Yunnan's Dai ethnic minority. 

She typically ties her hair up in a bun and netizens say she especially resembles Yang Mi from the side. 

According to one netizen, Qing Chi Fan De Su Jie Jie, who had dined at the restaurant, she "thought Yang Mi was filming a variety show in Singapore" when the lady boss walked out of the kitchen.

Another netizen, Miao~ Singapore, even made a trip down after reading about the boss on social media. 

"I heard that a lady who looks a lot like Yang Mi opened an eatery in Singapore so I had to visit," she said in their caption. 

Her verdict after seeing the woman in person?

"She really looks like Yang Mi," gushed Miao.

Netizens seem to like what they're seeing in the videos too, with a number saying they will be making plans to visit the eatery. 

Let's hope she meets their expectations.

Chinese actor Cheng Lei’s star has been on the rise since his turn as Gong Shangjue in 2023 period drama My Journey To You.

Recently, snaps of the 30-year-old at an event caused a stir online but for unexpected reasons.

The widely-shared photos on Weibo showed Cheng Lei dressed in a shirt, brown jacket, and jeans — an understated and simple look.

Walking ahead of him was a guy in a blue shirt and white pants. Many presumed the man to be his assistant.

Despite wearing a mask, the 'assistant'’s prominent features — bright eyes and neatly-styled hair — stood out, leading fans and onlookers to mistake him for the star.

Soon, the hashtag "Cheng Lei's assistant" began trending on Weibo.

Some fans were not amused, criticising the "scheming" 'assistant' for stealing their idol’s thunder and asked that he be fired.

Others also questioned his professionalism, allowing Cheng Lei to show up at events in such “ill-fitting and inappropriate clothes” that did not bring out his star quality.

There were comments like “Honestly, I thought the guy in blue was the celebrity. The one without the mask is just too ordinary to be called a star" and "He should tone down his look to make Cheng Lei stand out more”.

​There were also some who were curious to find out more about the “hunky" 'assistant', asking for his social media and to see pics showing his face.

Sources close to the actor later clarified the man in blue was not Cheng Lei’s assistant, but his manager. He is responsible for styling the actor for public appearances.

Hope he got the memo about the poor styling.

There are two types of stars in Hong Kong.

Those like Heavenly King Jacky Cheung, who, at 62, will still commit to doing perfect splits at his concerts to wow his fans.

And those like Hong Kong girl group Twins.

Gillian Chung, 43, and Charlene Choi, 41, who enjoyed a resurgence in popularity after taking part in 2022's Sisters Who Make Waves 3, are currently busy with their Twins SPIRIT Since 2001 Live Around The World tour.

Their devoted fans have been sharing clips of their concerts on social media.

Here's the thing: While their fans have been raving about the performances, we can't help but notice how sluggish Charlene and Gillian look during their dance numbers? 

It's like they were simply going through the motions, especially Gillian, who appeared unenthusiastic in every clip. 

For one of the numbers that required the girls to dance with a fan, Gillian, who seem to have forgotten how to smile, looked like she had forgotten her choreography. She stumbled multiple times, falling out of sync with Charlene.

​Netizens were unimpressed and one even outrightly scolded the girls for being "so f*****g lazy".

Gillian wasn't spared from fat-shaming comments too.

"She looks like she gained weight again, but Charlene still looks so good," read one comment.

Was that really necessary though?

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost are all in for jokes and supporting one another when it comes to their marriage. In the new film, Fly Me to the Moon – starring the 39-year-old actress and Channing Tatum – her 42-year-old husband made a cameo as a result of it being on the “prenupital agreement.”

The two tied the knot in 2020 and parent their son Cosmo and the Black Widow’s daughter Rose Dorothy – from her previous marriage with Romain Dauriac.

During an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Kimmel – that aired Monday, July 8 – , the Lucy actress jokingly addressed “Greg Berlanti was our director … a huge fan of Colin’s…Colin — I think he had to do it ’cause it’s, like, in our prenuptial agreement…If I ask him to do something, he has to be there to support me. He has to be in every one of my films.”

Adding to the romance on set, she mentioned on the show how she would run her lines with Colin but he would go into full acting mode when rehearsing. “ I run lines with him…Which is great … you’d think that would be very convenient because you have a partner there to help you out…. he really commits to the line reading. It’s not always the performance I want it to be. I’m just like, ‘Say the lines!’…  I’m like, ‘I can’t focus. Forget it. I’ll just learn them myself’,” she recalled.

​The married couple has always been very publicly open about their relationship as they love to joke about one another. Earlier this year the SNL star spoke about his wife during a segment on an episode called “Weekly Update” where he read a joke written by Michael Che that said , “ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in Her…I’ve never bothered to watch because without that body, what’s the point of listening?.”

He even playfully mentioned her during his speech at the White House Correspondant Dinner, “I want to thank my wife for enduring lots of jokes and for agreeing to individually meet everyone in this room right after the ceremony…That’s really special honey, thank you. Don’t be shy, come right up. She hates privacy!” 

Ariana Grande was in supportive sister mode after Frankie Grande revealed on Instagram that he got a nose job done. The 41-year-old shared a post-op selfie that showcased his bruised up face that was wrapped up in bandages.

Despite the healing process being hard, the post that played “HOT TO GO!” by Chappel Roan he put on his best kissy face as he threw up the peace sign. “New nose. Who dis?,” he captioned the post.

The comment section was filled with love for Frankie, including his own 31-year-old sister who commented “perfect in all ways, always !!!!”

In addition her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo shared, “that inbuilt eyeshadow is glorious. Xx.”

Just two days later, he shared a carousel post of his night out in New York where he noted, “took my new nose out to see New York. She loved The Wiz.”

“You make me gigggggle. she loved the wiz,” the “Break Free” hitmaker showed her love again. 

In recent events, he shared via his story, “today I got the cast off my nose and it just like blew up like a balloon, which apparently is supposed to happen,” he shared. “But it freaked me out a teeny bit. But still very excited.”

​Frankie has focused on bettering himself since battling addiction. He shared to reporters in December 2019, “They [family] were the ones who really just put me on the road of recovery — like literally, like physically…They were like, ‘This is where you’re going.’ And I did. And then I think we’ve all grown together. I think as my journey of self-love has begun, it is also reflected in my sister, reflected in mother, reflected in my grandmother. I feel like we all just kind of started growing up all together because we had to.”

“I have a core group of people and friends that I send gratitude lists every single morning, just to start myself off the day in a place of love and gratitude and to remind myself that my primary purpose on this planet is to just be loving, to make other people smile and to go through the whole day in a place of giving,” he added.

The pain of losing a child is a feeling one would never forget.

In the latest episode of With Love, Becks, YES 933 DJ-turned newscaster Lin Peifen, 42, shared with Rebecca Lim, 38, about a miscarriage she suffered in 2019.

Peifen, who married computer engineer Lie Wei Xiang in 2014, shared that she really wanted to have a second child after having her first son, Luke, who's now nine.

"We kept trying and I was finally pregnant again after about four years, but I lost the baby at 11 weeks", she revealed.

Peifen eventually conceived again a year after the miscarriage. Her second son, Jude is now three.

The grief of her losing her baby, however, is something she still vividly remembers till today.

"The pain will always be there," she said to Becks with tears in her eyes. "Even now, I still recall the discomfort I went through and that sense of hopelessness I felt."

According to a post she shared in 2020 after giving birth to Jude, Peifen found out that she was bleeding a day before her gynae appointment. She then rushed to the clinic with her husband.

That was when they were informed that her foetus had "no heartbeat".

"In a flash, all our joy and hope were gone. I felt grief like never before. Shock, then anger, and then sorrow. I wanted to sink into my own darkness and weep," she wrote.

"I didn't want to die, but I didn't want to live either," said Peifen, adding that she "cried more than ever" and hid in her room all day after the incident.

Even after the miscarriage, Peifen had to endure bouts of immense physical pain as her body did not expel the foetus completely.

She had to "stuff pills into [her] body" to expedite the process, which led to cramps and more bleeding.

Around that time, Peifen discovered stories of mothers who had gone through the same thing and she realised she was not alone.

She also found support through a good friend who unfortunately shared a similar experience.

"Since we could empathise with each other without putting it into words, we could give each other strength and positive energy," she said.

Taylor Lautner and Taylor Lautner (née Dome) know exactly what gets on each other’s nerves — specifically which household habits can bug them from time to time. During the pair’s exclusive video interview with reporters, the Home Team actor, 32, and the registered nurse, 27, revealed their biggest pet peeves about one other while promoting their STEM™ partnership and the new STEM Attracts & Traps Flying Insects Light Trap.

“Tay’s a very organized, clean person, and I’m … not so much,” Taylor pointed out, before Tay noted that her husband has “gotten better” with his habits over time. Tay went on to explain that she is “just very clean and [needs] things organized,” adding that this is “just how [her] brain prefers things.”

Despite having different cleaning habits, Tay noted that she “can’t be mad” at the Twilight actor because, “Taylor just doesn’t really see it, which I’ve learned isn’t him ignoring it.”

Taylor also made sure to note his biggest pet peeve about Tay: toilet paper. “I like the toilet paper hung a certain way — it goes over the top, not under,” he said while the two shared a laugh.

Despite the occasional complaints about their at-home habits, the spouses have been happily married since 2022.

“Tay and I have been together for seven years now, nearly two years of marriage, and we had little bugs about each other that we certainly worked through,” he pointed out, before explaining his and Tay’s latest partnership. “But something that STEM is familiar with are bugs, and we have used [the] STEM [Light Trap] is our house before this partnership. … It is the most simple device. It’s just a sticky cartridge with a UV blue light that you stick into your wall.”

The brand conducted a survey which proved that having insects and other bugs around the house can exacerbate feelings of annoyance between partners. Fifty-two percent of respondents even agreed that they are more likely to feel bugged by their partner while they’re in the presence of bugs in their home.

As Taylor told reporters, the pair have used STEM in their home before they partnered with the brand, and the Light Trap helps them be bugged by one less thing. It’s an insecticide-free solution that uses a soft UV-blue light and refillable cartridges to attract and trap flying insects 24/7 including gnats, mosquitoes, fruit flies, house flies and moths. Since insects and other crawlers can enter their space — especially in the summers when Taylor admits he likes to leave doors and windows open — Taylor pointed out that he and Tay have STEM Light Traps “in every corner pocket of our house.”

Aside from their latest partnership, Taylor and Tay have also been co-hosting their podcast, “The Squeeze,” since early 2023. On their show, the spouses have invited multiple celebrity guests to discuss important topics, ranging from mental health to managing the overwhelming attention that comes with fame — which the MTV Movie Award winner has experienced in the past.

While speaking exclusively with Hollywood Life, Taylor explained how he found a healthier approach to managing life in the public eye and his private life with Tay.

“It has been a balance for me, but I would say I used to be way more closed off in private than I am today,” the Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D star said. “I just think when things happened at a young age that it was just kind of a scary thing having so much privacy taken away. … And for me in the last few years, I think I’ve found a healthier balance where you find joy, like genuine joy, in sharing moments of your life with people. So, I think that’s actually been a cool journey for me.”

Tay acknowledged that seeing her husband open up on their podcast has been “awesome,” noting that she was happily surprised to hear him say “something he’s never said before” on the show.

“[It’s] so cool that he feels safe enough to share that now,” Tay added.

When it comes to making music, Eric Chou can do no wrong.

He can sing, write songs, play the guitar and the piano, and is responsible for many earworms like 'How Have You Been?' and 'What's Wrong?'.

What Eric, 29, can't do though is dance.

Last weekend, Eric held his Odyssey~Journey Returns World Tour at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur.

In a video that has since gone viral, a fan managed to capture the moment Eric messed up the dance for 'Nobody But Me' during the show.

Eric had obviously missed the beat and fell out of sync with his dancers when the music dropped. 

He continued to fumble through the choreography, which lasted for about half a minute, while looking embarrassed by his boo-boo. 

Eric looked so lost that we wondered if he was only told he had to dance right before the show.

Not that his fans, who are all familiar with their idol's lack of dancing abilities, minded it.

They even gushed that his expression after messing up was "too cute" and that they "love it the most when [Eric] dances".

Guess cute people really can get away with anything, huh?
