Paris Jackson had a sweet family reunion with her aunt, Janet Jackson, during Paris Fashion Week!
Michael Jackson’s only daughter was spotted greeting Janet, 59, outside the Tom Ford spring/summer 2026 fashion show in Paris on Wednesday, October 1.
The niece and daughter duo seemed delighted to see each other at the event as they embraced in a hug before walking into the venue together.
For the occasion, Paris, 27, wore a long-sleeved black dress with a daring waist-high split. She wore her long blonde hair loose and completed the look with black high heels.

Janet, meanwhile, was clad in all black as well, opting for a long black skirt and short-sleeved leather top that was belted at the waist. The “Rhythm Nation” singer rounded off her look with a black leather jacket, oversized gold hoop earrings and her hair in a tight bun.
Paris’ reunion with her aunt comes just a few months after she confirmed her split from Justin “Blue” Long in July. At the time, the Daily Mail published pictures of an emotional Paris looking upset during a walk. “Those are breakup tears,” Paris responded in a post on X.
Paris and Long reportedly began dating in June 2022. The King of Pop’s daughter confirmed their engagement in December 2024.
“Happy birthday, my sweet blue,” Paris wrote in an Instagram post. “Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind and I couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with.”

She added, “Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.”
As well as being a doting aunt to Paris and her brothers Prince, 28, and Bigi, 23, Janet is also mom to son Eissa, 8, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Wissam Al Mana.
“The most important thing I’ve done, the biggest thing I’ve done, is become a mother, and it’s had a beautiful impact on my life,” Janet said in a September 2024 interview with The Guardian.
“I wanted to have three children, but thought, ‘I should stop there, that’s probably all I can handle.’ Because you have to give all of yourself,” she continued. “Obviously, you have to work, but you don’t come first anymore. Your life completely changes. And I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

In an age where corporations wield more power and reality feels more subjective by the day, The Truman Show feels more relevant than ever. Jim Carrey stars as Truman Burbank, a man who is adopted from infancy by a television network and raised for his entire life on a soundstage.
When Truman begins to notice the cracks in his world, a movement begins on the outside to free him from his artificial reality, while creator/director Christof (Ed Harris) becomes more determined than ever to keep Truman in his place. Alternating between funny and philosophical, The Truman Show is a movie about what is and isn’t real and what it means to be free.
10 Best Comedy Movies of the 2020s So Far, Ranked from Least to Greatest
Never mind that it’s Norwegian — this film is so deeply relatable that you’ll see yourself in it even if you’ve never been further north than Michigan. It’s a romantic dramedy that follows a young student named Julie (Renate Reinsve) as she tries to figure out her life. She goes from studying medicine to photography to writing, but that’s not nearly as challenging as sticking with a decision about her love life.
Torn between comic book artist Aksel (Anders Danielsen Lie) and barista Eivind (Herbert Nordrum), Julie makes mistakes at every turn, unable to resist choices that make her feel like the worst person in the world. Director Joachim Trier blends fantasy sequences with heartbreaking realism in this funny and clever movie.
Before rom-coms and cultural satire were regularly blended together, Coming to America nailed the formula. Eddie Murphy stars as Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of the wealthy African nation of Zamunda, who travels to Queens, New York, in search of true love. Alongside his loyal aide Semmi (Arsenio Hall), Akeem trades royal riches for working-class life at a fast-food restaurant, hiding his identity as he courts Lisa (Shari Headley).
The movie remains one of Murphy’s most beloved performances, packed with sharp social commentary, laugh-out-loud gags and unforgettable supporting characters. Decades later, its charm, humor and genuine romance still hold up beautifully.

Some films just aren’t understood when they hit theaters for the first time. But thanks to streaming platforms, they can be resurrected for audience and critical reevaluation.
One such film is Elysium, a dystopian sci-fi thriller film starring Matt Damon and from the director of the Academy Award-nominated District 9, Neill Blomkamp.
Blomkamp’s follow-up film to District 9 didn’t do nearly as well at the time, but it’s more than worth your time now.
Watch With Us breaks down why Elysium needs to be your next Netflix viewing.
Stop! And Watch This Underrated Movie on Netflix Before It Leaves in September 2025
In Elysium, the Good Will Hunting actor plays Max De Costa, an ex-con on parole who has been given five days to live. Max lives in a ravaged, dystopian wasteland version of Earth in the year 2154, in which environmental degradation has taken its toll and the planet’s citizens live in extreme squalor, while more privileged individuals get to live on a luxury space shuttle called “Elysium.” He agrees to a plan in which he must steal information in exchange for a ride to Elysium, where he can be treated.
As Max, Damon is in top form as this atypical version of a hero. His character wields a determination and grit that comes through in Damon’s performance seamlessly, paired with his ability to ground his character amidst the otherwise fantastical conditions of his situation. Damon has always excelled at characters that are “normal guys,” and he imbues Max with that particular personality in just the right ways, instilling within him a clear pathos and sense of morals.
The plot of Elysium follows Max as he struggles to get to the safety of the titular luxury space shuttle to save his life. In the 22nd century, Earth’s inhabitants are broken up into two classes: those who can get into Elysium, and those who cannot, forced to live in squalid conditions on a deeply polluted Earth. Max agrees to a scheme in which he must steal information from an Elysium citizen, and in exchange, he’ll receive a ride to the shuttle where his life-threatening illness can be cured.
However, Max’s health is rapidly declining, requiring that he be ensconced in a protective exoskeleton in order to keep him alive to complete the mission. The film’s narrative is not only a fast-paced, race-against-the-clock thriller, but it’s also a compelling story anchored by resonating themes. Thus, this far-fetched science fiction story bears real-world truths, which add depth and complexity to a plot that might otherwise be a run-of-the-mill sci-fi flick in worse hands.
Elysium is far from being a guns-blazing action flick with nothing on its mind. The guns are indeed blazing, but just as District 9 had a lot to say about social issues of discrimination and colonialism, Elysium carries social commentary related to capitalism, class consciousness, health care, worker exploitation and overpopulation.
These ideas are just as relevant now as they were over a decade ago, and Elysium very successfully conveys the struggles and anxieties of our current moment. The best kinds of films have both a lot to say and a lot to show, and a truly successful motion picture will leave you with a lot to think about just as well as it leaves you on the edge of your seat. Elysium definitely succeeds at doing both.
Elysium handily features some of the best action sequences in a sci-fi film to come out in the past fifteen years, with impressive choreography and CGI animation that look seamless with the rest of the film. In particular, the robots in the film move with striking fluidity — but that’s not surprising, considering the way the robots looked in District 9. Blomkamp is a director who has a great grasp of utilizing top-notch special effects.
14 Must-Watch Sci-Fi Movies on Netflix Right Now (September 2025)
In the end, even if for some reason you don’t quite vibe with Elysium’s themes or storytelling, you can’t deny that it’s an excellent popcorn film with kinetic action sequences that leave you on pins and needles and totally breathless.

With a name like Disney+, you might mistakenly think that the streamer only peddles in children’s movies.
But that is decidedly not the case, and as the company now owns 21st Century Fox and its associated subsidiaries like Searchlight Pictures and the FX networks, it has an even larger array of more mature fare to choose from that you can’t find anywhere else.
Watch With Us combed through the Disney+ catalogues and picked the five best movies for adults that you can stream right now. From horror comedies to character dramas and artist biopics, there’s a little something for everyone.
Is ‘Freakier Friday’ Streaming on Disney+ Right Now?
Grace (Samara Weaving) has just gotten married to the love of her life, Alex (Mark O’Brien), whose family happens to be ridiculously loaded. On their wedding day, she meets his intimidating, deeply dysfunctional family, heirs to a vast fortune in the board game industry. A bizarre tradition sees Grace draw from a deck of playing cards and pick a game that must be played by the whole family. She chooses “Hide and Seek,” thinking it to be innocent, but in reality, she must fight for her life as her husband’s family hunts her for sport.
This rollicking mix of horror, comedy and action did gangbusters at the box office upon its release, and for good reason. The film manages to balance a perfect mix of dark humor, genre subversions and entertaining action and terror, producing an all-around crowd-pleasing picture. The film was a hit with critics, too, who praised the film for its expert skill at offering social critique of the wealthy elite while succeeding as a vivacious popcorn flick. It can be difficult for a film to toe the line between smart and fun, but Ready or Not does it with confidence and style.
Before you hit the theater to check out the upcoming Tron: Ares, you have to go back to where it all began with the original Tron from the 1980s. The first Tron stars Jeff Bridges as computer engineer Kevin Flynn, and was notable at the time for being one of the first films to make extensive use of computer-generated imagery (otherwise known as CGI). The film was only a modest box office success but spurred a cult following and a subsequent media franchise, including comic books, video games, a TV series and two feature film sequels.
When Kevin Flynn realizes that his work is being stolen by an executive at his company, he tries hacking into the system. But his attempt causes him only to be transported into the software world of his computer. There, he must fight a series of programs to escape, including the digitized version of executive Ed Dillinger (David Warner), called Sark, along with the Master Control Program. Along his journey, he is aided by programs named Yori (Cindy Morgan) and Tron (Bruce Boxleitner), based on two of Kevin’s coworkers.
The rise to fame of iconic folk musician Bob Dylan is told in this riveting film from Walk the Line director James Mangold, starring Timothée Chalamet as the “Like a Rolling Stone” singer himself. A Complete Unknown is loosely based on the 2015 non-fiction book Dylan Goes Electric! by Elijah Wald and features a supporting cast playing various folk music icons, such as Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez and Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash. The film received a number of Academy Award nominations — including Best Picture — and was praised by critics for its performances and solid direction.
A Complete Unknown begins with Dylan’s touchdown in New York City from his home in Minnesota, where he hitchhikes all the way to meet his ailing idol, Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy). From there, the aspiring singer manages to change the course of the 1960s with his hypnotic talent that perfectly captures the zeitgeist and catapults him from small-town boy into a worldwide celebrity. But the folk icon finds himself restless in his own milieu, and he makes a stylistic decision that changes the course of his career — and music history — forever.
Editor-in-chief of Runway magazine, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), is a notoriously impossible boss to work for. When naive aspiring journalist Andrea “Andy” Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is hired as Miranda’s personal assistant, she is flung headfirst into the cutthroat world of the fashion industry. As Andy struggles to adapt to this inhospitable work environment — egged on by Miranda’s senior assistant, the petulant Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt) — she slowly learns to deal with Miranda’s demanding nature, and learns more about herself and what she wants from her life in the process.
The Devil Wears Prada has remained a staple of the pop culture collective consciousness for a reason, to the extent that a highly anticipated sequel film separated by two decades is set to be released next year. The film features several iconic performances, from the biting cruelty of Streep as Miranda to the kind honesty of Stanley Tucci as her art director, Nigel, and the breakout performance of Blunt. With its winking sense of humor, dynamite narrative and singular performances from a terrific cast, if you still haven’t seen The Devil Wears Prada, you still have plenty of time to right your wrongs before The Devil Wears Prada 2.
Director David Lynch is most known for his surrealist dreams and nightmares as seen in films such as Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, and his acclaimed TV series Twin Peaks. But perhaps lesser-known is the quiet character study he directed in 1999 called The Straight Story, an adaptation of a real-life incident in which an Iowa man, Alvin Straight, drove 240 miles to Wisconsin on a lawnmower to see his ailing brother in 1994. What is easily Lynch’s most narratively simplistic film, it is also no less profound. It particularly excels in its realistic dialogue and committed performances, in particular from lead actor Richard Farnsworth.

Straight (Farnsworth) is an aging, ornery man who lives with his disabled daughter, Rose (Sissy Spacek), and rebuffs lifestyle suggestions from his doctor to improve his precarious health. Yet he receives a wake-up call when he finds out his brother, Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton), has suffered a stroke. Despite the fact that they have been estranged from one another for a decade, Straight understands that he doesn’t have much time left with his brother. With no other means of transportation, he decides to make the journey to Lyle at five miles per hour atop his riding mower.

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPos)-All of Malawi’s former Heads of State are expected to grace the swearing-in and inauguration ceremony of President-Elect Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika at Kamuzu Stadium this Saturday.
Secretary to the Treasury, Hetherwick Njati, who also serves on the inauguration committee, told reporters in Blantyre on Thursday that preparations for the historic event are almost complete.
He described the ceremony as a national milestone that will not only usher in Malawi’s 7th President but also demonstrate the strength of its democratic institutions.
“This inauguration is more than just a swearing-in. It is a national celebration of democracy and we are pleased that all our former Presidents will stand together to mark this occasion,” said Njati.
Njati assured the public that the program would follow strict protocol, with proper security, seating and logistical arrangements for both dignitaries and ordinary Malawians attending the event.
He further disclosed that viewing centres have been set up in Lilongwe, Mzuzu and Mangochi to allow citizens across the country to be part of the occasion.
The ceremony is also expected to attract high-profile guests from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region and beyond, highlighting Malawi’s growing diplomatic ties.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs hinted that leaders from Zambia, Mozambique and Tanzania may be among those expected to attend.
All former leaders, including Bakili Muluzi, Joyce Banda and Lazarus Chakwera, will send a strong message of reconciliation and continuity, especially at a time when the nation seeks to consolidate peace and stability after a hotly contested election.
Vendors and local businesses in Blantyre are also anticipating economic benefits as thousands are expected to throng the commercial city for the event.
Accommodation facilities are reportedly near full capacity, while transport operators have already increased routes to cater for rising demand.
Security agencies, including the Malawi Police Service and the Malawi Defence Force, are reported to be on high alert with joint operations in place to ensure safety before during and after the ceremony.
Njati urged Malawians from all walks of life to witness what he described as a “rare and unifying moment” in the nation’s history.
“This is not just the President’s day, but a day for all Malawians to reflect on where we are coming from and where we are going as a democratic nation,” he added.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Political analyst George Phiri has urged the newly elected president Peter Mutharika to prioritize expertise over political loyalty when appointing cabinet ministers.
He emphasized that Malawi’s economic and development challenges demand leaders with the right skills and professional competence.
Phiri argued that relying on political loyalists often leads to inefficiency, as such individuals tend to prioritize party interests over the needs of the citizens.
He stressed that cabinet appointments must be guided by a sense of national duty rather than political calculations.
According to Phiri, key ministries such as Agriculture, Education, Health, and Finance require leaders with technical knowledge and practical experience.
He observed that when politicians without expertise are appointed, they often struggle to implement meaningful reforms.
By contrast, he said, professionals bring solutions that are evidence-based and designed to address the real needs of the people.
Phiri further urged the president to form a government that listens to the voices of Malawians rather than focusing solely on the views of ministers or political elites.
“A listening government is what the people desire,” he said.
He added that professionals view leadership as a service rooted in integrity, knowledge, and accountability.
“That is what Malawi needs now if it is to move forward,” Phiri stressed.
He concluded that professionalism and integrity must form the cornerstone of cabinet appointments.
Phiri noted that without such an approach, Malawi risks repeating the cycle of failed governance and missed opportunities for genuine development.
He insisted that the moment demands reform-minded leaders who can drive change through competence rather than patronage.
As the new administration prepares to announce its first cabinet, Malawians await to see whether the president will heed Phiri’s advice and usher in a team capable of delivering the reforms the nation urgently needs.
