When actor James Van Der Beek passed away from cancer at the age of 48 in February, he left behind his wife and six children. Now, on the first Father’s Day since the actor’s death, his widow Kimberly has posted a touching tribute to the Dawson’s Creek and Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 star on Instagram. “Missing you so much and thinking of how magnificent you were in every single way today. And somehow, from the other side? You continue to parent. You’re a marvel,” the 44-year-old wrote. Van Der Beek was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2024. After his death in February the public raised over $2.6 million on GoFundMe, after the financial strain of fighting the cancer reportedly overwhelmed the family. Stephen Spielberg—Van Der Beek’s iconic teen character Dawson Leery’s idol—donated $25,000. In May, three months after his passing, Kimberly wrote on Instagram, “Words just don’t capture what grief is. The comforts of shock have worn off. The reality is settling in... and I miss him. We all miss him.”

Criminal Minds star Paget Brewster has publicly apologized for losing her cool with a reviewer. After journalist Shealyn Scott criticized the Paramount+ show’s ‘Evolution’ spinoff starring Brewster, the actress raged on X Saturday night: “Hello critic Shealyn Scott. You’re young. You don’t know that bad pics and bad reviews can lead to 350 people losing their jobs. Sell vintage. Work at a shelter. Do something better than what you do now. Because right now you suck.” The public smearing of Scott—who used a photo approved by the streaming giant—came as a shock to Brewster’s fans. “I love Paget so much but this is an insane response to someone just (rightly) criticizing the way shows have all become like 10 eps a season and essentially just saying they want MORE of your show,” one person wrote. Brewster has since deleted the original post, and followed up on Sunday: “Hi guys, I was mean to Shealyn Scott last night and I profoundly regret it. Shame on me for insulting a human being for doing their job. I’m very sorry, Shealyn. And I’m sorry to those who follow me that you saw me behave like that. Turns out, last night, I sucked.”

An American Airlines pilot bound for Philadelphia made a surprising call to air traffic controllers before landing on Sunday, requesting law enforcement due to an unruly passenger who allegedly bit another passenger on board. “I don’t know if he’s hallucinating or whatever, but he just bit a passenger, and he’s trying to fight everybody,” the pilot is heard telling a controller in an audio recording obtained by CBS News before requesting emergency medical crews and law enforcement support as a precaution. “What a day, huh?” he added as the controller wished him a Happy Father’s Day. “I’ll be sure to tell my daughters about this one,” the pilot replied. In a statement to CBS, American Airlines said the passenger was experiencing a medical issue, and a medical professional on the plane assisted him before the flight landed. The Daily Beast has reached out to the airline for further comment. The incident comes amid a string of other cases involving unruly passengers this month, including a man who allegedly attempted to open an emergency exit mid-flight on a Frontier Airlines flight, and a Lufthansa flight that had to make an emergency landing after one female passenger attacked another passenger on board.

Toy Story 5 topped this weekend’s box office, earning an impressive $71 million domestically on Friday. It’s projected to make at least $150 million and possibly up to $175 million by the end of the weekend, according to some estimates. This is good news for Disney, especially considering the film, which follows the gang as they take a stand against technology, was made on a $250 million production budget. Coming in second was Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, which is expected to earn $17.2 million by the end of its second weekend of release, a 61 percent drop from its opening weekend. Still performing well at the box office is the horror film Obsession, which is in third place in its sixth week of release. Directed by a Gen Z filmmaker and made for less than $1 million, Obsession is set to reach $215 million domestically, with an additional $14 million expected this weekend. Not faring as well is A24’s The Death of Robin Hood, which made $1.1 million domestically and is projected to finish the weekend at $2.5 million.

A man fell to his death at Madison Square Garden on Saturday night while attending a concert. The 51-year-old man was at the Garden for the second show of Connecticut rock band Goose’s two-night booking. Emergency services were called to the venue at around 9:51 p.m. Officers found the man unconscious and unresponsive with injuries indicating a fall from an “elevated position,” a statement from the New York Police Department said. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police have not yet released his name. Goose released a statement on their Facebook page that read: “We are deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of the tragic event that occurred at tonight’s show. We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone affected. Thank you to the emergency personnel and venue staff who stepped in with care and support.” The police did not say from what height the man fell.

Gene Bess, the all-time winningest college basketball coach in American history, has died. He was 91. “This morning at 4:00 a.m. my dad went to be with Jesus,” his son Brian, who coached with his father, wrote in a Facebook post Friday. Bess coached basketball for 50 years at Three Rivers College in Poplar Bluff, Missouri, from 1970 to 2020, snagging a whopping 1,300 wins, and leading the Three Rivers Raiders to two NJCAA national championships. He coached former Knicks star Latrell Sprewell for two seasons. Sprewell went on to play for Alabama and was a first-round NBA draft pick in 1992. The coach’s college posted a statement mourning the loss of a “mentor, friend, and one of the most influential figures in the history of Three Rivers College.” He “inspired generations of students, helping shape lives both during their years as Raiders and long after they left,” the college noted. At his induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2023, Bess told the crowd: “In my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be in front of you all today. I’m truly blessed to have coached over 400 players, winning two national championships, and having the record of 1,300 wins. It takes a village to accomplish this. Thank you to every single player I’ve ever coached. I want you to know that I love each and every one of you.”

President Donald Trump wants to transform Washington, D.C., in a way that will ensure he is remembered for more than a hundred years, according to a new report by the longtime Trump biographer Michael Wolff. In his HOWL: Tales of Our Time series, Wolff reveals that Trump has spoken about his legacy with friends, revealing his intense focus on reshaping the U.S. capital city. “Everything is forgotten,” Trump, 80, reportedly told a caller who had rattled off his policy accomplishments. Trump reportedly went on to add: “What I’m going to do with this city will be remembered for a hundred years.” The president also reportedly bragged about transforming New York, saying his hometown would not have its “power and luxury” without him. “Washington needs my monuments,” he reportedly said. Since beginning his second term in office, Trump has engaged in what Reuters described as a “building blitz” in the capital, including bulldozing the East Wing of the White House to build a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, overseeing a $14 million overhaul of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool—turning it an “American flag blue” color that is now overgrown with algae—and announcing plans for a 250-foot-tall arch, among others.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set for release in cinemas across the globe in July. The popular Marvel franchise, helmed by Tom Holland as Spider-Man and his real-life wife Zendaya as MJ, is one of the more critically acclaimed Marvel properties, despite being the third live-action Spider-Man reboot since the start of the 21st century. To celebrate the film’s release, Cinemark theaters posted the Spider-Man themed cups and popcorn buckets it would be selling for moviegoers on Instagram. One item, a large red cup shaped like a hand with a wide white plastic “web” feature immediately caught the attention of fans who noted the cup’s design could be construed as something less wholesome than a spiderweb. “The industry has been intentionally making these popcorn buckets look dirty for publicity ever since the Dune 2 bucket,” one person wrote in response to the promo. Another put it plainly: “I don’t want a spiderman jizz tornado thank you.”

Getting solid sleep feels like a real luxury these days. Whether you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep through the night, if you’ve been struggling with getting shut-eye, you’re not alone. A 2024 Gallup poll found that 73 percent of respondents reported getting less than 8 hours of sleep per night, and 57 percent said they would feel better if they got more sleep.

Whether prescription or over-the-counter, most sleep aids can help you knock out, but often come with less-than-ideal side effects, such as next-morning grogginess and brain fog. CBDistillery’s sleep gummies help you get to sleep without the side effects.

Unlike standard cannabis gummies, CBDistillery’s sleep gummies combine three types of cannabinoids: THC, CBD, and CBN (a cannabinoid known for its calming, sleep-supporting properties). CBDistillery’s bestselling gummies combine 5mg of Delta-9 THC, 75mg of CBD, and 15mg of CBN for full-body relaxation without feeling dissociated, starving, or overly... giggly.

If you prefer to stay THC-free, the brand’s Sound Sleep gummies skip it entirely, containing only 50mg of CBN in a delish black cherry flavor.

A roller coaster malfunction left 15 children and an adult trapped for hours after they became stuck on the Wave Twister ride at the Adventureland theme park in New York. The ride, which opened in March, broke down just before 7:30 p.m., leaving its riders stranded until after 10:30 p.m., well after the sun had set. “A couple kids were crying. I was trying to calm them down,” a sixth grader told CBS New York. According to police, the youngest passenger was a five-year-old accompanied by their 40-year-old parent. The remaining children were aged between eight and 12. They were about 25 feet above the ground before first responders rescued them one by one. In a statement to People, Adventureland said: “We understand the concern of the riders and their families who were involved today, and we will be working with our ride consultants to fully assess what happened.” The statement added that the ride will remain closed pending a full review. At this time, it remains unclear what caused the stoppage.

Toy Story 5 has already been crowned the best film of 2026, taking first place for the biggest preview from Michael after earning $17.5 million compared to the pop star biopic’s $12.6 million. The fifth installment of the Oscar-winning Pixar series is expected to make at least $145 million domestically during its opening weekend, with some experts even predicting it could reach $175 million. If these estimates hold true, Toy Story 5 could be the biggest launch of the year, surpassing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s opening. The film, featuring beloved characters Woody, Buzz, and Jessie battling technology in the form of a smart tablet, was produced on a $250 million budget with tens of millions more spent on marketing. If international box office revenue reaches the projected $135 million in its opening weekend, the film will generate massive profits for Disney. Toy Story 4, released pre-COVID in 2019, made $1 billion at the global box office and opened to $120 million.
