As “Cowboy Carter” sashes and other Beyoncé-inspired items continue to trend, MakerPlace by Michaels is looking for one lucky fan who “embodies the Cowboy Carter spirit through their own handmade look” to win two “Cowboy Carter” tickets to a U.S. show through its sweepstakes. The winner will also receive a $3,000 Visa card.

To enter, fans must style an Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour outfit using finds from MakerPlace by Michaels, a marketplace place to buy and sell handmade crafts.

One of MakerPlace’s sellers, Kenjah Crafts, who has been making waves with her own handmade “Cowboy Carter”-inspired sashes will serve as a judge. Entrants will be judged based on creativity and originality, craftsmanship, style and narrative.

Even in those early days of the Keanussance, de Armas felt a connection with Reeves. “I’ve always admired him so much. just the way he approaches the business and his career, and just mostly how he treats people,” she says. “I met him when he had just done the first ‘John Wick.’ We never imagined this is what the franchise was going to be.”

“Ballerina” (in theaters June 6) marks the first big-screen spinoff for the popular “Wick” series. While she does share the screen with the main man himself, de Armas – the first female winner of CinemaCon’s action star of the year award – is very much the star of the movie. Her character Eve Macarro is a rookie dancer/assassin who comes up, like Wick, in the Ruska Roma organization, and Eve irks the wrong people when she goes on a mission of revenge.

Hosted by Peter Serafinowicz, “Million Dollar Secret” follows 12 strangers competing in what’s billed by Netflix as a predator-prey game show.

Each individual is given a brown welcome box. The kicker is that one of the guests secretly has $1 million inside, forcing them to try their best to keep that information under wraps. The other players must follow clues and observe odd behavior throughout the game to sniff out the millionaire among them.

At the formal dinners, those on the chopping block must state their case on why they’re not the millionaire, or else face elimination.

“Each time a millionaire is booted from the game, the money moves to someone new,” Netflix explained. “Strike too soon, and you become the target, but miss your window, and you lose any hope of cashing a check. And should the millionaire catch too much heat, they can ditch the cash to survive another day in the competition.”

Ian Leslie’s new biography “John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs” (Celadon, 436 pp., out now) unpacks their intense and complicated relationship from their first meeting in 1957 to Lennon’s murder in 1980.

Along the way, there’s psychoanalysis (Leslie specializes in writing about human psychology, communication and creativity) and the occasional hair-curling discovery.

Nothing here is entirely new: Leslie relies on previously published interviews and conducted just one himself for the book, with “Let It Be” director Michael Lindsay-Hogg. But Leslie does an extraordinary job of providing context for familiar anecdotes, and there are many that will feel surprising.

The “Daily Show” host joked on Monday night’s episode that President Donald Trump’s tariff regime, which has lurched the economy into a violent downward turn since its unveiling Wednesday, was both an unproven remedy and a harbinger of doom.

“You’re all acting like the tariff regime is a tried and true remedy,” he said. “Oh, of course! This is the medicine that’s always prescribed. Except the last time it was tried 100 years ago, we had a Great Depression?”

Harry, King Charles III’s younger son, is trying to overturn a decision by the Home Office – the ministry responsible for policing – which decided in February 2020 that he would not automatically receive personal police security while in Britain.

Last year, the High Court in London ruled that decision was lawful and refused him permission to challenge that ruling in a higher court. However, the Court of Appeal agreed to hear the case following a direct application from Harry’s lawyers.

Harry, the Duke of Sussex, arrived smiling and waving for the two-day hearing in front of three senior appeal court judges, and listened intently as the case got underway in a packed courtroom, occasionally scribbling messages to his legal team.

The show, which premiered in 1993 and spawned a pop culture phenomenon, cast a Black actor in the role of the black Power Ranger and an Asian actor as the Yellow Ranger. The decision was widely viewed as insensitive and, in a new documentary, Oliver calls it a “mistake.”

“None of us are thinking stereotypes,” he said in an interview for “Dark Side of the Power Rangers,” the latest episode of the Investigation Discovery documentary “Hollywood Demons.” In fact, he revealed, it took one of his assistants pointing out the stereotype in a meeting for him to realize the optics of it.

The “Full House” star took to his Instagram story Monday to address critics of his choice to emcee an event held at Mar-a-Lago, the president’s resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

“I accepted the invitation to emcee the Palm Beach Ray of Hope Gala — an evening dedicated to honoring and uplifting our frontline heroes,” Stamos wrote, explaining that the “Dancing with the Stars”-themed Palm Beach Ray of Hope Gala was not “political.”

Stamos said “the nonpartisan event” supports The Academy for Nursing and Health Occupations, which he described as a “501(c)(3) organization that trains 350-400 nurses every year” to help address the healthcare worker shortage in Palm Beach County, Florida. Stamos added in his statement that “supporting nurses isn’t political — it’s essential.”
