Umbrella Academy: Plan B # 1— The Sparrow Academy
It is a rare occasion when we witness a superb adaptation finish a line before the story is fully drawn, and I am thrilled to know that things in comic form will be as weird and different as a set of timelines set off by Number 1. Six years later, we pick up where we left off. After the mass release of The City's greatest foes and the chaos that was to be known as Hotel Oblivion, Umbrella learns that other brothers and sisters exist : The Sparrow Academy. Mom is alive and well, and the Sparrows are dubbed by her as the best ones. They tell their siblings (as only siblings can do) the Umbrellas were the failures. No one knows how to hurt each other more than family, and this will be an all-out battle for the upper hand, a bloody one. This adaptation invites you to reread the cult classic and remember how things ended up, because we will tend to mix it up with the TV series (and things are very different). I have to say that in 2019, I was wondering about how they were going to film Hotel Oblivion, and the wedding party at the end of the world surpassed my expectations. It is one of my favorite screen scenes of all time, as it reminds me of my very weird and wonderful family (we are six siblings). Having said that, this will be blood and mayhem all around, and I can′t wait! ′Umbrella Academy: Plan B # 1′ is on sale since June 11th, 2025. Genre: Superhero, Science-Fiction, Action/Adventure Format: FC, 32 pages; Miniseries Price: $4.99 UPC: 7 61568 01420 4 00151

Anna Nicole Smith's daughter wore late mother's dress to feel like she was 'getting a hug' from her
Dannielynn Birkhead wore her late mother's dress to feel like she was "getting a hug" from her. The 18-year-old star is the daughter of legendary supermodel Anna Nicole Smith - who died of a of a drugs overdose at the age of 39 just months after she gave birth - and as she attended the 2025 Barnstable Brown Gala wearing the same black number her mom wore to the event 21 years ago, Dannielynn admitted she had been crying "on and off" the whole day in the build-up to it all. She told AccessHollywood: "I feel good in it, gonna once again, try not to cry when I say this. I can't know my mom sadly and this is one of the only ways and reasons that I can. "And, this is the closest that I'll ever get to a hug from her so I've been on and off tears all day." During her short life, Anna - whose real name was Vickie Lynn Hogan - was known for gracing the cover of Playboy magazine and was named the Playmate of the Year in 1993 before going on to marry 89-year-old billionaire J. Howard Marshall a year before his death. Dannielynn - whose half-brother Daniel died from a drugs overdose at the age of 20 just three days after she was born - has not made many public appearances over the years, but her father Larry Birkhead previously claimed that she was determined to be her "own person" if she started up a career in show business. In an interview with In Touch Weekly magazine, he said: "There are times when she'll say, 'I wish I could be on that.' Like when she watched 'Stranger Things' and the 'Umbrella Academy' If she does anything, it will be on her terms. She's determined to be her own person. "We went into the Guess store the other day, and Dannielynn saw a big poster of Anna and said, 'Oh boy, she nailed that shot.' She understands her mom was a model, and she appreciates that."

Casagrande: ‘Anemone' just one linguistic gaslighting word that falls under the term ‘metathesis'
In the Netflix series 'Umbrella Academy,' Aidan Gallagher plays Number Five, a 58-year-old assassin and theoretical physicist trapped in a 13-year-old's body. A naturally brainy teen and gifted actor, Gallagher has no trouble convincing me Five is a late-middle-aged genius unlocking the mysteries of space-time to stop a world-ending apocalypse. In his performance, I believe every word — well, every word but one: nuclear. Five pronounces it 'nucular.' I know a lot of people share my feelings on this: There's no vowel between the C and the L — no U to make the second syllable sound like 'cue.' The spelling makes clear that the second syllable should be 'clee.' Regular readers of this column know that language is seldom that simple. Just because one pronunciation is right doesn't mean another is wrong. 'Though disapproved of by many, pronunciations ending in (cue-lar) have been found in widespread use among educated speakers including scientists, lawyers, professors, congressmen, U.S. cabinet members, and at least two U.S. presidents and one vice president,' Merriam-Webster's dictionary notes. 'While most common in the U.S., these pronunciations have also been heard from British and Canadian speakers.' If you're like me, you might find this rationale frustrating. That is, when you say, 'It's annoying that so many people pronounce it that way,'' the experts reply, 'Many people pronounce it that way.' To which you reply, 'I know. I just said that. That's the problem.' For this reason, linguists can seem at times like they're gaslighting. But in fact, they're just leaving out one crucial bit of information: In language, 'many people do it' is the law of the land. Every word, every pronunciation and every rule of grammar was born of how people use the language. If enough of us started using 'shoobeedoobee' to mean 'rest assured that we'll handle your funeral arrangements with the utmost dignity,' eventually it would mean exactly that. Besides, for a recent column, I was happy to discover that my two-syllable pronunciation of 'caramel' is fine and possibly superior. So I'd be hypocritical to insist on a phonetic pronunciation of 'nuclear.' If there's a silver lining, for me, it's that 20-odd years into writing about grammar, I learned a new term to describe this type of sound switch around: metathesis. In linguistics, 'metathesis' means 'the process whereby a sound hops out of its proper place, so to speak, and pops up elsewhere in the word, or switches places with another sound in the word,' according to Merriam Webster's Dictionary of English Usage. Wikipedia gives examples that may strike a nerve. My favorite, straight from the sea: anenome in place of anemone. This one drives me nuts — not because people who use it wrong annoy me, but because years ago I declared myself incapable of ever using it right. Can't spell it. Can't pronounce it. I'll sign any petition that banishes it from the English language. Then there's 'cavalry' for 'calvary.' This one's more serious. If you get 'anemone' wrong, the worst that can happen is people will think you're doing a musical number from Sesame Street. But if you get cavalry wrong, you change your meaning. Merriam-Webster's definition of calvary is 'an open-air representation of the crucifixion of Jesus' or 'an experience of usually intense mental suffering.' A cavalry is a component of an army, especially one on horseback. 'Jewlery' in place of 'jewelry' is another common metathesis. I doubt I've ever pronounced this word the way it's spelled and don't plan to start anytime soon. 'Asteriks' for 'asterisk,' 'aks' for 'ask,' and 'iorn' for 'iron' are just a few more examples of common metatheses, and they all come with varying degrees of controversy. You can pick your likes and dislikes. Me, I'm soft on almost all these, except the incorrect pronunciation of 'nuclear' and any pronunciation, right or wrong, of 'anemone.' — June Casagrande is the author of 'The Joy of Syntax: A Simple Guide to All the Grammar You Know You Should Know.'
