Entertainment headlines were unusually overshadowed by geopolitics and scandal today. In the Gulf, a drone strike sparked a fire near the UAE’s Barakah nuclear plant, damaging electrical infrastructure but, authorities insist, causing no injuries and no radiological danger — a flashpoint that underlines how fragile the Iran war ceasefire remains. In France, prosecutors say about 10 new suspected victims have come forward in the widening Jeffrey Epstein investigation, adding fresh momentum to efforts to trace possible French links to his trafficking network. There was also a reminder that records can still inspire: veteran Nepali climber Kami Rita Sherpa summited Everest for a 32nd time, while Lhakpa Sherpa extended her own women’s record with an 11th ascent. And at Cannes, Adam Driver coolly sidestepped questions about Lena Dunham’s memoir allegations, saying only that he was “saving it” for his own book.
