Marcel Ophuls, L.A.-raised documentarian and Oscar winner, dies

** Drew Barrymore's standout menswear look and other notable celebrity fashion moments—both hits and misses—from early May 2025 are highlighted in this roundup.

Kate Hudson stepped into the spotlight at a music festival for the first time, and the photos from her performance—along with other candid shots of celebrities out and about—are giving fans plenty to buzz about this week.

Apple’s buzzy new series Margo’s Got Money Troubles—based on Rufi Thorpe’s book—has officially started production, and the cast is stacked. Elle Fanning, Nick Offerman, and Michelle Pfeiffer are just a few of the big names attached, making this one of the most talked-about adaptations in the pipeline. While plot details are still under wraps, the combo of a killer cast and a beloved source material has fans eagerly waiting for more updates.

** The high-profile sex-trafficking trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs is finally underway after multiple attempts by his defense team to delay it. The latest request—to push the start date back by 60 days—was denied. The case involves disturbing allegations from Cassie Ventura (Combs' ex-partner), including claims of physical abuse, drug use, and a $10 million hotel settlement tied to the accusations. Federal investigators are also involved, adding another layer of gravity to the proceedings.

Over 500 Broadway performers and theater pros have signed an open letter demanding the Tony Awards rescind Patti LuPone’s invitation after she made what they call "degrading and misogynistic" comments about fellow actors Audra McDonald and Kecia Lewis in a New Yorker interview. The backlash highlights tensions over respect and representation in the theater community.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about one star’s remarks—it’s a flashpoint for broader conversations about how women, especially Black women like Lewis and McDonald, are treated in the industry. When a legend like LuPone faces this kind of pushback, it signals that even established figures are being held accountable for perpetuating harmful attitudes. The Tonys’ response (or lack thereof) could set a tone for how the theater world handles public clashes over respect and professionalism.
