The nature of the lawsuit between Daryl Hall and John Oates became public this week, after it was recently reported that Hall had sued his former partner for breach of contract and filed a temporary restraining order. But Oates is vehemently denying the claims, saying he's "tremendously disappointed" the details have come to light. It was revealed on Wednesday through unsealed court documents that Hall was attempting to block the sale of Oates half of Whole Oats Enterprises (WOE), a company the pair had formed to control some of the group's assets, to a company called Primary Wave. The restraining order now makes sense, as it would grant a judge the ability to block the sale until it could be determined whether Oates had the legal rights to make the deal. Hall claimed to have "blindsided" by the decision, which he believes was intentionally made known to him just two days before he was going on tour to "ambush" and distract him. "I have no...

Today's best men's Chelsea boots are the perfect balance of rugged and refined. They create a unique aesthetic that falls somewhere between chic and badass and can look just as good with worn-in men's jeans as they do with a three-piece suit. Despite the Chelsea boot's popularity today among men, it has an illustrious past that dates back to 19th century Great Britain. Once favored by royalty and prized as a useful horse-riding boot, the Chelsea—a pull-on style with elastic panels, or gores, and a back heel tab—has since been transposed into many variations. Dressier versions were popularized in the US in the '60s with the rise of The Beatles, who frequently wore black leather Chelsea boots with a Cuban block heel (dubbed the Beatle boot). At the same time in Australia, a brand called Blundstone had put a workwear spin on it, creating what would become known as the #500 that's still one of the best Chelsea boots for men today. You'll also find men's C...

Jodie Foster recently spoke with  Elle about her role as Bonnie Stoll in Netflix’s old-fashioned biopic Nyad . Foster’s performance is earning her awards buzz, but don’t expect the veteran actor and filmmaker to parlay that success into an expensive franchise part. As she told the outlet, the current “phase” of big-budget comic book movies doesn’t interest her. However, she did name three “superhero” movies that she considers “the good ones.” “It’s a phase. It’s a phase that’s lasted a little too long for me, but it’s a phase, and I’ve seen so many different phases,” Foster said of the deluge of Marvel and DC properties on screen. “Hopefully, people will be sick of it soon." The Taxi Driver star continued: “That’s not why I became an actor. Those movies don’t change my life. Hopefully, there’ll be room for everything else.” However, Foster didn't outrightly dismiss the genre. Unprompted, she listed to Elle three superhero titles she considers to be “the good ones.” “ Ir...

Bradley Cooper stopped by The Howard Stern Show on Monday to promote his new Netflix film, Maestro . During the interview, Cooper revealed that the notoriously prickly SiriusXM host turned down an opportunity to play his brother in A Star Is Born . Cooper wrote, directed, and starred in the 2018 melodrama as troubled musician Jackson Maine, who gets a second shot at fame when he meets Lady Gaga’s preternaturally talented Ally. Sam Elliot received an Oscar nomination for the role Stern turned down, as Jackson’s older sibling, Bobby, who doubles as his business manager. "You came to me and you said, 'Hey, you will play my brother,'" Stern recalled to Cooper. "And I went, 'Whoa, he must think I'm a lot better looking than I am. They’re gonna be like, 'What the fuck, [is] this movie gonna be like Twins ?' I'm Danny DeVito and he's Arnold Schwarzenegger or something?" While it’s nearly impossible to imagine Stern as the character that...

Jason and Travis Kelce revealed the winning bidder of an auction for a kelly green Eagles varsity jacket, signed by Jason's wife, Kylie Kelce, on the pair's New Heights podcast on Wednesday. The jacket, which was inspired by the one Princess Diana wore in the '90s, brought in a whopping $100,000 for the Eagles Autism Foundation. However, that hefty price tag—while undoubtedly going to a good cause—was the result of a prank between married It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia  co-stars Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson. The Kelces brought McElhenney on as a guest to explain that he had mistakenly believed he was in a bidding war over the jacket with another anonymous bidder. The 46-year-old said that he had initially put down $10,000 on the jacket, but within a couple of days someone had bid $20,000. But because he believes in the cause and loves the Eagles, he kept going. Soon the bid was up to $50,000, and the auction site actually crashed at one point. We know you...

It's hard to believe it's been nearly four years since the world lost star Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard Kobe Bryant . On Jan. 26, 2020, the 41-year-old died in a Calabasas, CA helicopter crash along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven others, including the pilot. And coming up on the four-year-anniversary of the tragedy, Bryant's widow, Vanessa Bryant, has shared a touching throwback photo of the couple back when they first met. "Twnety-four years ago ... Day 1," Bryant captioned an Instagram post on Monday, dating the photo Nov. 27. 1999.

Top Gun: Maverick star Jon Hamm  made it clear he’s open to joining the MCU. The Mad Men actor, who is currently starring in a villainous role in the fifth season of Hulu’s crime series Fargo , spoke to Screen Rant about his hopes of playing a specific bad guy in one of the company’s biggest titles. Hamm has circled the MCU before, having at one point been floated to play X-Men villain Mister Sinister in The New Mutants . However, due to that film’s immensely troubled production, Hamm never filmed his role, and the character doesn’t appear in the final film. The actor was given a consolation prize, however, in the form of a cameo in a 2022 X-Men comic book, albeit playing himself. Asked by Screen Rant whether he’d consider joining the Marvel universe in another role, Hamm expressed his willingness while admitting he’s in the dark about the studio’s decision-making. “I don't know. Those decisions get made at such a high level at this point, definitely above my pay grade,” th...
