Then, the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star spoke about how Malcolm is her other 'whole'.
'My dad once told me when I was a kid that you're not looking for another half to make you whole, that you are whole,' she said.
'And if you're lucky enough, you meet another whole,' she continued. 'And then you become, like, a greater sum of your parts.'
She added: 'I just feel like I am encouraged to grow in the most unexpected and beautiful ways because he provides a soil that's, like, really nutritious and safe.

Kim Zolciak and ex Kroy Biermann's plans to keep their family together amid divorce drama is revealed

As their rancorous feud continues to rage amid their divorce, Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann have agreed to a summer co-parenting plan for their children. Their sons Kroy Jr., 14; Kash, 12; and Kane, 11, will reportedly keep going back and forth together between their parents' homes in Atlanta, as they were doing before. Kane's twin sister Kaia, however, will travel to Montana to stay with her paternal grandparents for at least three weeks, per court documents obtained by TMZ. If at any point during that time Kaia asks to return to Atlanta, her grandparents must get her to the airport to go home within 48 hours of her request, the papers say. Throughout her stay, Kaia will have to keep her flip-phone on her, and Kroy, 39, and 47-year-old Kim — who was recently revealed to owe more than $1.8 million in taxes — will each permitted to call her once daily for 15 minutes. At the end of the three weeks, Kaia is allowed to hold a conference with her parents and tell them whether she wants to stay in Montana longer. Further, Kroy will have to give Kim his parents and sister's contact information so that his ex-wife can get in touch with his family if necessary. A provision has also been placed in the agreement stipulating Kaia cannot be left unsupervised with any boy in her age group, either in middle school or high school. In addition to her minor children, Kim — who shot to fame on The Real Housewives of Atlanta — also has two grown daughters called Brielle, 28, and Ariana, 23, who were legally adopted by Kroy and took his last name. News of the new parenting plan comes after Kim mercilessly laid into her ex-husband in a new interview, leveling shocking claims at him. She claimed the NFL alumnus had gone nearly a decade without a job after his football career ended, and she went as far as to accuse him of 'stealing every piece of jewelry I've ever owned,' as well as items belong to her eldest daughter Brielle Biermann, whom he had adopted. has contacted a representative and attorney for Kroy Biermann to request comment but hasn't yet received a response. Kim made the shocking claims when she chatted with Kristin Cavallari earlier this year during a stop in Atlanta for her Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour series, which was broadcast on the latest episode of her podcast Let's Be Honest. The recording was released after obtained documents indicating that US Marshals visited Zolciak and Biermann's former home to clear it out after the new owners accused them of being on the premises beyond the agreed-upon date. The reality star tried to fight back against reports that her overspending and gambling had led to financial distress in her marriage during the event, which she claimed was the first time she was speaking openly about the messy dissolution of her marriage. 'First of all, I love when people tell me I spent all of Kroy's money,' Kim said, before claiming, 'I've made way more than Kroy. 'Kroy's last NFL season was in 2015, just so we're clear. We're in 2025, and he just got a job in March of 2024,' she said. 'I've worked my a** off to provide for my family and my children. This man has not paid a bill in this house in years,' she claimed. 'Even with a job, he hasn't paid a bill in this house in years. Not clothes for my children, not extracurricular, nothing.' In addition to accusing her ex of not working for years, she also claimed he had been stealing jewelry from her and her daughter Brielle, who is the product of a previous relationship. Zolciak claimed Biermann stole 'every piece' of jewelry she had ever owned, with the only exceptions being her engagement ring and earrings, 'because they were hidden in my bra.' She also accused her ex of stealing 20 of her 'most expensive handbags.' Although she previously claimed to have been keeping the family afloat with her income, she also said she had had to 'borrow money from girlfriends' and confirmed her daughters Brielle and Ariana Biermann's claims that she asked them for money, which she claimed was due to her ex stealing from her and 'emptying out' their home. Her second oldest daughter, Ariana — whom Biermann had also adopted — previously accused her parents of taking all the money she earned as an influencer and model beginning at 14, though she didn't single out any particular parent when she made the claim on her Bravo reality series Next Gen NYC, which follows the children of reality stars. While speaking to People earlier this month, Ariana reiterated that Zolciak had asked to borrow money from her, but she attributed it to the delayed payouts from the reality shows her mother had been starring on recently. 'My mom always pays me back though, but it's definitely gotten better. She's working really hard,' she said, suggesting that their relationship was still on solid footing. Zolciak pointed out that she had filmed multiple reality shows in the past few years as evidence that she was keeping the lights on for her family. She claimed that, after she told Biermann she planned to file for divorce, he responded, 'I will publicly destroy you. You'll never work again.' But she sounded a triumphant note and said her ex's alleged threats 'didn't work.' At the time, Zolciak noted that she had moved into a new house just 10 days earlier after moving out of the home she shared with Biermann. 'I feel safe enough to speak, and I just wanted to protect my children through this, so I remained quiet.' The release of the podcast episode happened just a day after reports emerged that she and Biermann were forced to leave their home for good by law enforcement. The divorcing couple's home was visited by United States Marshals in April to force the occupants to vacate the premises months after they sold the home, according to court documents obtained by The home's new owners initiated the process of having Zolciak and Biermann, removed from the house back in December. Representatives for Zolciak and Biermann didn't respond to request for comment. The documents indicate that after buying the home from the estranged couple, the new owners had agreed to temporarily allow them to continue living there by renting it out. The documents indicate that the home's new owners accused the reality stars of continuing to live on 'the premises over and beyond the term for which they rented to them.' The new owners also said that the exes had already been served papers ordering them to leave their former home. However, Zolciak and Biermann didn't respond after multiple court filings by the new owners ordering them to leave, which led to US Marshals dropping by the mansion on April 8. The newest filing says multiple deputy marshals were at the home, which is located near Atlanta, from 3:30 to 6:45 p.m., and they indicated that they 'ejected' someone from the premises. It was reported late last year that Zolciak had begun the process of moving out of the home ahead of a scheduled auction. Page Six previously reported that Zolciak hadn't moved far after taking up residence in a nearby rental with the four younger children she shares with Biermann. Earlier in June, Ariana accused her parents of taking all the money she made from modeling work and brand deals she scored as an influencer beginning as early as when she was 14. 'I was doing like three posts a week and you get paid astronomical [sic] to do a story or to do an Instagram post, and I made quite a bit of money,' she claimed on her Bravo reality series Next Gen NYC, which follows the children of reality stars. 'But, unfortunately, my parents took my money.' She said she discovered two years ago that the money was gone, though Ariana admitted that she didn't know how much she should have had, as her parents would have been responsible for taking care of financial matters when she was younger. Even more shocking was Ariana's claim that her mother Kim still asks her for money despite allegedly having used up everything she earned in her teens and early 20s. After months of bickering in court and repeatedly shaving down their asking price, the estranged couple finally managed to sell their mansion in February for $2.75 million. Although that was a significant profit on the $900,000 they originally paid for the home, which boasts 15,000 square feet, it was also $3 million less than they originally listed it for a year and a half earlier. In 2023, the home was reported to be in foreclosure, and Zolciak and Biermann were racing to sell the home before it went up for auction, which would likely have netted them far less money to pay off their reported debts. The visit from US Marshals earlier this year was only the latest in multiple incidents in which law enforcement were called to the property to break up disputes between the warring exes. Biermann filed to divorce the reality star in October 2023, and in subsequent months the two feuded over how to divide up the living areas as they continued to reside together in the home. The former Atlanta Falcons player accused his estranged wife of selling off their possessions without his approval, and he also alleged that she was spending wildly despite their dire financial straits.

Sean Baker reflects on becoming a 'weird spokesperson' for theatergoing

During his best director acceptance speech at this year's Academy Awards, Sean Baker zealously spoke about the importance of theatergoing, particularly the increasingly threatened independently-owned cinemas. Baker was accepting the award for ' Anora,' which won five of the six Oscars it was nominated for that night. On the other side of that awards campaign, the independent filmmaker is continuing his evangelism for seeing films on the big screen by teaming up with Pluto TV for 'Free Movie Weekend,' which highlights independent and family-owned theaters across the country throughout the summer, including the Music Box Theatre in Chicago this weekend. The initiative kicked off with Baker's pick near Los Angeles — the Gardena Cinema. Complimentary tickets will also be offered to the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, as well as Detroit's Redford Theater in the coming weeks. In an exclusive interview, Baker spoke with The Associated Press about why he feels like a 'weird spokesperson' for theatergoing and how he hopes his next film will differ from his previous work. The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity. AP: You are an outspoken advocate for independent and family-owned movie theaters. Why are they so important to you? BAKER: I'm Gen X. Growing up, the theaters that we primarily went to were independently owned and usually family owned. Multiplexes kicked in in the late 80s. I love multiplexes. They're great, but there is something that's a little more intimate and has that family warmth. It's not a corporate environment. For a very long time, that's how I discovered and fell in love with the movies. And then I actually worked in an independently-owned theater. It was the craziest thing. It was called the Roberts Cinema in New Jersey, and I applied for a job as the ticket ripper. It was a small business, so next thing you know, they are training me on the projectors. Next thing, they're like, 'We need a manager.' So, at 17 years old, I was managing, projecting and ticket ripping at a theater in Manville, New Jersey, that's no longer there. They played mostly Disney films during the day and foreign films at night. It was my first real job and I look back fondly on that time. And then I went to film school and I started making movies. It's always been with the intention of making feature films for theaters. A dream of mine is to someday maybe even own a theater. AP: I think there are a lot of people who think big movies with big movie stars are the secret to getting people into theaters. BAKER: That's something that I've been personally battling with. I am preaching that this sort of entertainment is meant first and foremost for theaters, so come out and see them. And then at the same time, I make films that are a little bit difficult and not exactly friendly for a wide audience. But I hope that, since my films lean into a little more into that prestige world, maybe people will come out looking for that sort of thing. 'This film won the Palme d'Or and then eventually an Academy Award. Maybe this is something we should see in the theater, even though it doesn't fit the mold of what we normally are going to see, which are the blockbuster popcorn movies.' Those are the movies that keep cinemas alive, not my films. Maybe someday. But it's the 'Barbies' that are keeping the cinemas alive, not the 'Anoras,' even though 'Anora' did amazingly well in the hands of Neon. I do sometimes feel like a weird spokesperson for this because I'm not exactly delivering what I'm preaching on. AP: The Oscars this year were sort of like a PSA for theatergoing. I wonder if you subscribe to the idea that that message would be received better if the Academy recognized movies like 'Wicked' or 'Dune: Part Two' more. BAKER: They do. I mean, those films were nominated. But maybe. Maybe we do need that one extra category for box office success. Why not celebrate that too? I mean that's something that other awards shows around the world celebrate and there's no reason not to celebrate when a film hits the zeitgeist. That's an important cultural milestone. So why not celebrate that publicly? That's what the Oscars are for in many ways. AP: We've talked before about the success of 'Anora' and how you are thinking about how it will inform your next film. BAKER: I think the new thing that I'm dealing with is just the pressure of how do I follow up 'Anora?' I don't want to disappoint people, but I want to give something a little new and different. It's just scary. I don't know how else to say it. I just woke up. It's scary. But hopefully I'm working with the same people again, not only making the film, but also distributing the film. And hopefully we make another film that connects. My favorite filmmakers are filmmakers that do mix it up. They stay in their wheelhouse because that's their voice. But there's always a new thing. And hopefully my new thing is just leaning a little more into comedy. For a long time, I've made films that I would consider to be dramas or tragedies with comedic elements and I kind of want to push it into the comedy with dramatic or tragic elements. That might be my change.

In honour of Joe Shaughnessy – a bonafide 'cinchman'

You can even do it by yourself. Sure, randomly saying the names of former-glory footballers out loud to yourself and laughing along may be a little extreme, and probably get you escorted out of your local Co-op, but we've all also carried out a version of this by getting lost in some online rabbit hole. It's often with the help of Wikipedia. You look up a player from years past, see his current club, recognise another player name there, and off you go! You can also do it with strangers online. In September of this past season, there was one such trend which took off on social media that was all about sitting around, trying to think of beloved (but not obviously so) players from days gone by and getting a kick out of what others managed to rescue from their subconscious. It was entitled 'Barclaysman' (or 'Barclaysmen'). This was in reference to the time when Barclays sponsored the English Premier League (née Premiership) between 2001 and 2016. To be labelled as Barclaysman, the player had to be good enough to be remembered fondly by a larger group of people than just supporters of one club, but they couldn't be so good as to being completely obvious and thereby miss the whole point in the exercise. Cristiano Ronaldo? Absolutely not a Barclaysman. Far too good, far too famous, far too successful. But Jay Jay Okocha on the other hand? Now you're talking. More than the players, it also appeals to the widely-shared belief that football was better before (it didn't have VAR, so it was). This was a celebrated era in which the Premier League really started to expand out to a global force, but before over-saturation got out of control and it was preordained that there be at least one English team in a European final every season. Following the success of #Barclaysman, there were some attempted spin-offs north of the border. We even had one on The Terrace Podcast talking about the ultimate lower-league heroes from recent years – or 'Irn-Bru Men' as we dubbed it. But it's much trickier for that kind of trend to take off amongst Scottish football supporters, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, while 'cinchman' was the most popular Scottish adaptation, it doesn't quite work to the same degree. After all, while some people still call it 'the cinch' despite William Hill having taken over as SPFL sponsors last summer, their run as the prefix to the Scottish league names only lasted two years (ah, but what a run it was!). You could go with 'Ladbrokesman' but that was only five years. And 'sponsorlessman' wouldn't do it either – everyone would just get annoyed about the governance of our game over recent decades and concentrate on that instead. Secondly, there just isn't the same level of interest from the average fan about players who don't play for their own club. You really have to be a Scottish football nerd (he says from experience) to get any sort of mild thrill out of someone going 'here, mind Kallum Higginbotham?' Most fans are likely to go 'who?'. Or, at best, 'aye, I remember the name' before incorrectly naming one of his former clubs. While we may not be strong in number, there are those of us who think watching Ross County v Dundee United on a rare Sky Sports broadcast is a treat and not a chore or something to be ignored, and we cherish these good men who may not have shone brightly but added to our enjoyment of Scottish football. Sadly, it now seems certain one such example of this is going to leave Scottish football for pastures new this summer. Joe Shaughnessy is just the epitome of a cinchman. He started at Aberdeen but he didn't really make his name there, despite making over 50 appearances following his move over from Ireland as a 16-year-old. That's because he was largely played at right-back and was, largely, not very good at it. He really grew into his own when he moved to St Johnstone in 2015 and was made a permanent fixture at the heart of their defence. He later impressed in a three-year spell at St Mirren before falling out with Stephen Robinson. And he was the only adult in the room over the last two seasons for a Dundee defence that was still shambolic with him in the team, but a total car-crash without his presence. He wasn't the most skilled of footballers, even for a centre-back, but he had enough poise in possession that meant you felt comfortable if you were a Saints or Dundee supporter and stopped him being a figure of ridicule if you weren't. What made him stand out was his aggression in the air. The man never saw a ball off the ground that he didn't like to attack, which contributed to his ability to make a difference at set-pieces in the opposing penalty area, scoring 27 times over the years. He was the perfect plug-and-play serviceable Scottish top-flight defender; exactly what a team needed if they aspirations were simply 'let's not make a fool of ourselves this season' – which is a mindset our clubs should really think about adopting more often. It feels inexplicable that he never featured for Motherwell or Kilmarnock and now he likely never will. With his 33rd birthday coming up, he has decided against remaining at Dundee for the Steven Pressley era and is now set to make the move down under to the Newcastle Jets. Unless he suffers immediate homesickness, we probably won't see Joe rock up again at another Premiership side. That is a shame, but he goes with the best wishes from those who will ultimately remember him as a proper cinchman.
