Top Entertainment Headlines

Monday, February 16

Good afternoon Wypierdalaj,

Below are the latest entertainment news stories.

Robert Duvall, the commanding and supremely versatile actor who earned a lasting place in American movie history as a stoic Mafia consigliere in “The Godfather,” a surf-loving Army colonel in “Apocalypse Now” and a washed-up country crooner in “Tender Mercies,” died Sunday.

He was 95.

Duvall died peacefully in his home in Middleburg, Virginia, with his wife at his side, according to a statement from his family.

In certain corners of the internet — and inside middle school classrooms — the worst thing that can happen to you in 2026 isn’t being called “cringe” or getting “owned.”

It’s getting “mogged.”

Derived from the manosphere acronym “AMOG,” or “Alpha Male of the Group,” to “mog” someone means to visibly outshine them: to have a sharper jawline, a better outfit, a stronger presence in a group photo, or more “rizz” (charisma). Whether it’s delivered as an insult or intended as praise, the message behind the word is always the same: achieving dominance over someone else.

Even though it’s been nearly 30 years since John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette died in a tragic accident, their love story still endures — and fascinates.

A new FX series series titled “Love Story,” out Feb. 12, revisits the couple’s relationship from courtship to marriage and gives viewers a fictionalized look into their highly public lives.

Episode 1 dives into the start of their relationship. According to the show, they meet at a black-tie event. But is that really the case? Here’s what’s been said about how the real JFK Jr. and Bessette met and started dating.

Emerald Fennell’s bold reimagining of “Wuthering Heights” brought crowds of women to movie theaters this weekend. The Warner Bros. release topped the box office charts and nabbed the title for the year’s biggest opening with $34.8 million in ticket sales in its first three days in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. According to PostTrak polling, an estimated 76% of those ticket buyers were women. By the end of Monday’s Presidents Day holiday, the total could rise to $40 million from its 3,682 locations.

The romantic drama starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the star-crossed Catherine and Heathcliff, won out over the weekend’s other newcomers, including the animated “GOAT” and the heist thriller “Crime 101.” Its biggest day was Saturday’s Valentine’s Day holiday, where it earned $14 million. “Wuthering Heights” is also performing even better internationally, where it’s expecting to rake in an additional $42 million from 76 territories.

The Warner Bros./MRC production cost a reported $80 million to produce, not accounting for the millions spent on marketing and promotion. If the four-day totals match the estimates, that makes for a strong $82 million global debut. And the film still has several big openings on the horizon, in Japan and Vietnam on Feb. 27, and in China on March 13.

If you remember earning $5 an hour as a teenage babysitter, you’ll be shocked by what babysitters earn today.

UrbanSitter has tracked childcare cost trends and analyzed tens of thousands of babysitting jobs for the last 15 years. According to UrbanSitter’s 2026 survey, babysitters in the U.S. earn an hourly salary of anywhere from $19 to $29.

Many factors go into a babysitter’s hourly wage, including age, experience, geographic location, responsibilities and number of children. The hourly average rate nationwide is $26.24 for one child, $29.87 for two kids and $32.33 for three.

Bobsledding is not for Colin Jost.

The “SNL” Weekend Update co-host recently joined Mike Tirico from Lake Placid, New York (where there’s talk the 2042 Olympics could be!), to dish on everything from his terrifying sledding experience to the hair of Olympic superstar Johannes Hosflot Klaebo.

(Klaebo made history Sunday morning, by the way. Check out that hair.)
