"I paid off my student loans like three months into 'The Pitt,' and that was a really profound moment 'cause I thought I was gonna die with it," Ball, 36, said. "It's a huge burden to carry, and a lot of people carry it."

'The Pitt' is still the absolute bestshow on television – review

The series haswon five Emmys, a Golden Globe for best drama and is acclaimed by critics and viewers, as well as the medical community, for its accuracy. The show was renewed for a third season before Season 2 premiered in January.

Ball told Cultured that before he got the call for "The Pitt," he had been at a low point, with "no money" and recently out of a three-year relationship. He was considering leaving acting entirely, including paths like working at an Alaskan fishing camp, the FBI or the Merchant Marines. After nearly taking a $100,000 fundraising job he felt was "inauthentic to who I am," he chose to do "one last play" in Miami and didn't look back.

There, he met girlfriendElysia Roorbach, took an eight-day trip with her to Iceland and eventually moved back to New York and worked odd jobs, including as an actor for Goldman Sachs – so company administrators could practice firing people – and as a wardrobe assistant in "And Just Like That..."

Artemis II Is Back on Earth but You Can Keep the Vibes Going With These Space Movies

Harper's Bazaar Collage of various space-themed scenes featuring astronauts and science fiction elements.

Space is having a moment. The NASA Artemis II crew has just returned to Earth today after their 10-day lunar fly by mission.It was the first crewed flight to orbit the moon since 1972, with the astronauts on board—Victor Glover, Christina Koch, Jeremy Hansen, and commander Reid Wiseman—quickly captivating audiences across the world with their daily happenings; from naming new craters on the moon after loved ones, sharing their moisturizing techniques, and even their struggles with Microsoft Outlook (Astronauts! They’re just like us!) For those who want to keep the space adventures going a little bit longer, we’ve rounded up some of the best movies set in space (with the organizing principle that there needs to be an Earth where people still live to depart from). From sci-fi adventures, to stories based on real-life events, these are our favorites.

1) 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

Ancient apes mystified by the smooth monolith that suddenly appears in their midst. Millions of years later, a spacecraft on a longterm mission to Jupiter occupied by a crew of five and accompanied by a supercomputer known with a jovial voice known as HAL. What does the monolith mean? What does the crew find? Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece is often considered one of the best films of all time.

2) Apollo 13 (1995)

In 1970, just a year after Neil Armstrong took “One small step for man and one giant leap for mankind” on the moon, the Apollo 13 mission was supposed to bring another crew to its surface. But after a series of technical malfunctions, the crew is in danger of not being able to return to Earth. (This is where the famous phrase “Houston, we have a problem” originated.) This Oscar-nominated Ron Howard epic, starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, and Ed Harris brings the dramatic events to life.

Following them leads Cooper—and eventually his daughter Murph (played by both Jessica Chastain and Ellen Burstyn)—through a journey through a wormhole to find another habitable planet for humanity to survive. (This is a Christopher Nolan film, so know the plot is a a lot more involved than this, but we don’t want to give it all away!)

6) High Life (2018)

In this is absolute classic by Luc Besson, Bruce Willis stars as Corbin Dallas, and Milla Jovovich as Leeloo, the titular “fifth element” that can save the world from great evil forces.

A massive meteor is heading to Earth, threatening to end life as we know it. A group of rag-tag oil drillers that includes—Bruce Willis, Ben Stiller, Steve Buscemi, and Michael Clarke Duncan—are selected as the men for the job. No one thinks they can make it, but by god they’ll prove everyone wrong. Diane Warren wrote the actually iconic “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” interpreted by Aerosmith, that absolutely dominated radio and television in the summer of 1998. Out of all the Academy Award nominations Warren’s been robbed of, perhaps this one stands as the most unfair.

It is based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Stanislaw Lem, which also provided inspiration for Steven Soderbergh’s 2002 film of the same name—which stars George Clooney. But we recommend you watch the 1972 version for a more psychedelic experience.

UCLA Women's Basketball Team Says Donald Trump Hasn't Congratulated Them

Following their recent NCAA championship win, theUCLA Bruins women’s basketball teamhas shared thatDonald Trumphas not reached out to congratulate them. In a recent interview, the players shared the update and reflected on their latest victory.

UCLA Women’s Basketball team says Donald Trump hasn’t reached out to them

The UCLA women’s basketball team has revealed that Donald Trump has not congratulated them on their NCAA championship victory. The team appeared onJimmy Kimmel Live!on Tuesday, following their win over the South Carolina Gamecocks on April 5.

While speaking with Gabriela Jaquez, Kiki Rice, Angela Dugalic, and Lauren Betts, alongside their head coach Cori Close, host Jimmy Kimmel mentioned that the former President Barack Obama had sent his congratulations to the team, drawing cheers from both the players and the audience.

When Kimmel asked whether the team had heard from the current president, Donald Trump, Rice responded, “We have not.” The late-night host followed up with a quick jab, saying, “I’m sure you know he’s busy,” before adding, “in two weeks you’ll hear from him,” seemingly referring to the recent two-week ceasefire deal with Iran.

Trump had previously congratulated the Michigan and UConn men’s basketball teams for reaching the NCAA finals this year. However, he did not extend similar encouraging remarks to the UCLA and South Carolina women’s teams ahead of their championship game.

Kimmel, who has been in a long-running feud with Trump, went on to bring out a fake trophy and joked that the team should take it to the White House if they get an invite in the future.

“I want you to bring this fake trophy we’ve made,” Kimmel said. “When you bring a trophy, he sometimes takes it and keeps it for himself, so this is for you guys to take to the White House,” he joked, drawing laughter from the team.

The UCLA Bruins women’s basketball team defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks, 79-51, winning the 2026 NCAA championship on April 5, 2026.

Taylor Swift’s Wedding Details Leaked, Including Date And Location: “Doesn’t Make Sense”

Taylor SwiftandTravis Kelcehave reportedly finalized theirwedding dateandvenue, with behind-the-scenesdetails emergingfrom one of the most anticipated and talked-about celebrity weddings of the year.

Bored Panda

But what should have been a celebratory moment for Swifties has instead turned into afull-blown internet frenzy, as social media lit up withwild theories.

Given certain details that don’t quite add up, fans appear divided, with many not holding back their skepticism.

One user wrote, “It makes more sense for this to be a red herring. It could be a sleight of hand type thing – look over here so you don’t see what is going on over there!”

After months of wedding rumors and their August engagement, it appears the pop star and her NFL fiancé are all set to tie the knot later this year.

Initially, speculation was rampant about a June 13 wedding at Ocean House, where Taylor Swift also owns a massive property.

However, the rumor was debunked by the venue’s event organizers and celebrity wedding planners, who toldPage Sixthat “the pair was thinking about going all out at a totally different venue that can accommodate more attendees.”

Now, it seems Swift and Travis Kelce may have found their dream venue, asDaily Mailexclusively revealed new details of their nuptials earlier today.

According to the outlet, the couple has set their wedding for Friday, July 3, in New York City, aligning with the Fourth of July weekend, one of Swift’s favorite holidays.

Insiders reportedly told the publication that the ceremony will take place in a grand indoor venue, such as a museum or arena-like space, to accommodate a large guest list while maintaining privacy.

“Save the Date” notices have already been sent out, and toprotect their privacy, guests are reportedly required to sign strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before receiving final venue details.

While the exact venue and guest list remain undisclosed, notable names expected to attend include Swift’s longtime friend Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, and Kelce’s teammates, including Patrick Mahomes.

A source claimed that the 36-year-old singer was “disappointed” that the details were leaked but has no plans to pursue legal action.

To some fans, the reported date and New York City location seemed highly believable, as it aligns with Kelce’s off-season schedule before training camp begins in mid-July, as well as the couple’s well-known love for the city.

Swift notably served as New York City’s Global Welcome Ambassador from 2014 to 2015 and even released her hit songWelcome to New Yorkas an ode to the city.

However, many skeptical netizens believe the New York City ceremonycould be a decoy, pointing to the sheer scale of major global events scheduled in the city that same week.

One user argued, “This is either…. a fake-out to hide the real wedding date and location for ‘privacy’ or the real date and location…. Personally, I think it’s the first option. Having the wedding in the de*d middle of summer (in NYC of all places) would bea miserable experiencefor everyone attending, and would give TS no privacy… It just doesn’t make sense to have it there honestly.”

Another commented, “Those of us who live near the area are already planning our escape. They have announced that trains will be for World Cup ticket holders only on game days so you can imagine the insane traffic in and around NYC. She can’t be this clueless about what’s happening that weekend.”

“And last week it was June in Italy. Week before that it was in Rhode Island. Next week it will be in Antarctica,” joked a third.

Others questioned the location choice entirely, with one writing, “Why even get married in the US, honestly? All ofher circle are rich, or she can afford to foot the bill for them to travel to a beautiful wedding in Europe somewhere. Idk, I guess being rich means all of those beautiful destinations aren’t as exciting when you’ve already been there…”

“Lol nobody knew she was dating him until 4 months after the fact and their engagement was announced two weeks after he proposed. Do you really think they’re going to give this info out? They’re probably already married lol.”

One user questioned, “Anyone else feel like each person will get a different location, then transported to the actual wedding location that’s hidden?”

During the alleged wedding date of Taylor and Travis, the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be in full swing, with New York/New Jersey serving as a host region and a match scheduled at MetLife Stadium on July 6.

Beyond Independence Day festivities and the World Cup, NYC will also host several major events, including the U.S. 250th-anniversary air show, the All-Indian Dance Festival, and major league games such as the New York Yankees vs. Minnesota Twins and the New York Liberty vs. Minnesota Lynx on July 3.

Some skeptics have also pointed out that the latest leak appears “like nothing more than smoke and mirrors… to cover up what happened on the podcast, and probably to cover up… all the other drama going around (her being sued, etc.) No surprise that they’re using their ‘relationship’ toclean up their own mess.”

The same user doubled down, writing, “I still don’t see this wedding happening.”

The controversy referenced by the user stems from Travis’New Heightspodcast, co-hosted with his brother and former NFL star Jason Kelce.

In the Wednesday, April 8 episode, guest and golf legend John Daly made a controversial joke that upset some listeners.

He joked about a gym membership that included “ashtrays, cup holder, drink holder, p*rn on TV, and t*pless waitress,” which prompted laughter from both hosts.

While Travis did not respond verbally, Jason added, “I love that… I’ll get a membership to that.”

The latest details have emerged amid ongoing controversy surrounding Swift and Kelce, with backlash over a recent podcast moment

Viewers described theinteractionas “disgusting” and “grossly inappropriate.” One Reddit user wrote, “I’m not sure who I’m disgusted more by here, Travis about to be a married man or Jason, an already married man with FOUR daughters.”

Others echoed similar sentiments, with one commenting, “Everything I’ve learned about [Travis] disgusts me and, real relationship or not, the fact that Taylor has expressed an obnoxiously loud and very public desire to marry this man… really says a lot about her standards and character.”

“I know travwives will be like ‘they’re so comfortable in their relationships, it’s just a joke, Taylor… SO secure!!!!’ but I’m sorry, the fact they continue to ignore what a PIG Travis is cracks me up… how nasty & disrespectful he is.”

Meanwhile, the Grammy winner is also facing legal challenges of her own, as she has recently been named in a federal lawsuit in California related to her 2025 album,The Life of a Showgirl.

Las Vegas performer and writer Maren Wade filed the suit on March 30, alleging trademark infringement, false designation of origin, and unfair competition.

Reportedly, Wade has owned the trademark for “Confessions of a Showgirl” since 2015, using it for a column, podcast, and live touring show, and argues that Swift’s album title and aesthetic are “confusingly similar” and dilute her established brand.

As speculation and controversy surrounding their wedding continue to intensify, neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly confirmed the allegedly leaked details.

Daily Mailreported that it reached out to representatives for both celebrities but has yet to receive a response.

One comment read, “Idk who needs to hear this but she doesn’t want you to go to her wedding! Give them some privacy…”
