Austin Butler and Michael B. Jordan are reportedly in talks to star in an upcoming Miami Vice reboot — and fans have a lot to say about it.

Fortunately, most fans of the film franchise seem supportive of Butler, 34, and Jordan, 38, pairing up and taking down drug dealers and thieves in Miami, Florida. Others, however, aren’t convinced that another reboot is necessary.

Variety first reported the potential pairing in a post shared via Instagram Friday, October 24. As one person put it on the platform, “STOP MAKING REBOOTS (but this casting is perfect so never mind).”

A second person seemingly noted in response to others who were displeased, “Let’s gooo!!! Why not? If you don’t want to see it then don’t, that’s simple.”

“Ok Why is everything now days is a reboot or prequel, no more original movies,” added a third commenter.

Butler is reportedly being wooed for the role of James “Sonny” Crockett, first portrayed by Don Johnson in the 1980s television series and then by Colin Farrell in the 2006 film version by director Michael Mann. Jordan would be playing detective Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs, played by Phillip Michael Thomas in the TV series and Jamie Foxx in the 2006 film.

The new movie is set to be directed by Joseph Kosinski and will be produced by Dylan Clark. Universal has set a release date for August 6, 2027.

Butler was most recently seen in Caught Stealing from director Darren Aronofsky. The movie, set in the 1990s, features a screenplay from Charlie Huston, who authored the book series of the same name. Butler plays Hank, a former baseball player who now works as a bartender. Hank agrees to watch the cat that belongs to his neighbor Russ (Matt Smith), and soon finds himself contending with a situation that’s much more intense than he anticipated.

“As far as what scared me, this is different from anything that I’ve been doing recently,” Butler told USA Today in an August 2025 interview. “In my previous few films, I’ve been exploring characters who are quite different from me, physically and vocally. I could immerse myself in this different skin.”

Jordan most recently starred in Ryan Coolger’s Sinners, and many believe the actor could earn his first Academy Award for his role as the Smokestack Twins.

“I haven’t even begun to reckon with the fact that this movie is No. 1,” Coogler told Forbes in April 2025 after the film shot to the top spot at the domestic box office following its release that month. “It’s crazy. This movie is about, like, my uncle. It is bizarre, but when I think about it, when I take my feelings out of it, I’m not surprised.”

Despite that popularity, Coolger has also cautioned against fans urging him to make a sequel.

“I’ve been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that,” the director told EBONY in April 2025. “I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique.”

Demi Moore is recalling the early days of working with Tom Cruise on A Few Good Men while she was nearly eight months pregnant.

While speaking on Saturday, October 25, during a Q&A at the New Yorker Festival, Moore, 62, recalled reading lines for the film with costar Cruise, now 63, and director Rob Reiner.

“I think Tom was quite embarrassed,” Moore shared. “I actually felt OK about it. I was moving around, though, right? But I could tell he felt that it was a bit awkward.”

Moore was pregnant at the time with her and ex-husband Bruce Willis’ daughter Scout, now 34. She speculated that Cruise may have been uncomfortable since it was uncommon for one of their peers to have children at the time, explaining that there was pressure to choose between having a career or being a mother — but never both.

“It’s one of the many things, for me, that I just felt didn’t make sense. And so I challenged that to say, you know, ‘Why not? Why can’t you have both?’” she said. “But with that, I think, came a lot of pressure I put on myself to, in a sense, prove that it was possible.”

Us Weekly reached out to Cruise’s rep for comment.

Moore shared that she became “a bit of an overachievement” to prove she could balance both her role as a parent and an actor.

“I look back at that time now, and I go, ‘What the f*** was I thinking?’ And what was I even trying to prove? But it wasn’t as supported as it is today,” the star said. “You know, to be breastfeeding and then blocking and rehearsing a scene.”

Moore, who shared that the next generation will not have to “strive for as much” since motherhood is now “supported” in Hollywood, recalled feeling like she had to be physically fit for the film before the arrival of Scout.

“I was going to be in a military uniform, and probably overly anticipated and started working out and trying to get in shape even before she was born,” Moore said. “I did a two-and-a-half-hour hike the day my water broke. I did a 24-mile bike ride, and then was dancing at a reggae club — hence why she came two-and-a-half weeks early.”

Alongside Scout, Moore shares daughters Rumer, 37, and Tallulah, 31, with Willis. (The actor is also dad to daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, whom he shares with wife Emma Heming Willis.)

Since sharing Willis’ diagnosis with aphasia in 2022, Moore has been candid about supporting her ex-husband as he battles the rare form of dementia.

“It’s so important just to meet them where they’re at. Don’t have a particular expectation of them needing to be who they were or who you want them to be,” Moore said during a September podcast appearance. “When you do that, I find that there is an incredible sweetness and something that’s soft and tender and loving. Perhaps it is more playful and child-like in a certain sense because of how much more caretaking they need.”

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The storm clouds are gathering over Kasungu South as newly elected Member of Parliament (MP) Simplex Chithyola faces an election petition that could spend his short-lived parliamentary triumph.

The High Court is set to deliver its ruling on November 3, in a case that has sent tremors through Malawi’s political corridors—one that strikes at the heart of the country’s long-running battle against electoral corruption and the use of handouts to buy votes.

At the centre of the storm is Bishop Joe Manguluti, an independent candidate who narrowly lost to Chithyola in the September 16 polls by just over 500 votes.

Manguluti alleges that Chithyola’s victory was not born of popularity or ideas, but of money and manipulation, claiming the Malawi Congress Party legislator distributed cash and gifts to sway voters.

In his court petition, Manguluti paints a disturbing picture of an election tainted by handouts and threats.

He alleges that Chithyola handed out K50,000 and K10,000 to traditional leaders, teachers, and youths during the campaign, warning recipients that their votes could be tracked and that they would have to repay the money if they dared vote otherwise.

“Some voters were threatened that they would be known if they voted for someone else,” Manguluti’s petition reads. “It was not an election—it was intimidation disguised as generosity.”

The claims, if proven, strike at the foundation of Malawi’s democracy, raising uncomfortable questions about whether cash and coercion are now replacing conviction and community service as the ticket to Parliament.

According to the official results, Chithyola won 12,349 votes to Manguluti’s 11,817—a gap so narrow that even small irregularities could prove decisive.

But with the court now examining the case, Chithyola’s seat hangs in the balance, and the November 3 ruling could decide whether Kasungu South goes back to the ballot.

For now, Chithyola remains MP, with Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) lawyer Emmanuel Chapo confirming that no injunction bars him from performing his duties.

But the cloud of uncertainty grows darker by the day.

During the initial hearing, Chithyola’s legal team, led by Wapona Kita, attempted to have the petition thrown out on technical grounds, arguing that Manguluti used the wrong name in the filing—referring to “Simplex Chithyola” instead of his full legal name. The defence also pointed to alleged inconsistencies in sworn statements.

Judge Redson Kapindu, however, adjourned the matter after reprimanding both sides—Manguluti for delaying service of the petition, and Chithyola for failing to file his responses on time. Both have been ordered to pay costs.

The legal wrangling, though procedural, underscores the high stakes and high tension of the case.

For Chithyola, a rising figure in the MCP, the allegations threaten to tarnish not only his personal reputation but also his party’s credibility in upholding clean electoral practices.

Observers say the case reflects a wider crisis in Malawian politics, where handouts and vote-buying have become normalized despite repeated calls for reform.

Civic groups have warned that unless the courts take a firm stand, the practice will entrench a culture of dependency and erode the moral legitimacy of elected leaders.

“This case could become a turning point,” one political analyst noted. “If the court upholds the petition, it will send a strong message that money cannot buy democracy. If it doesn’t, it risks confirming what many Malawians already fear—that elections are for sale to the highest bidder.”

As the date draws closer, tension is mounting in Kasungu South. For Chithyola, the man once celebrated for his grassroots touch, the very acts of generosity that built his brand may now be what unravels it.

Whether the court upholds or nullifies his victory, one thing is certain: the era of handout politics is under scrutiny like never before.

November 3, Malawians will be watching closely—not just to see who wins in Kasungu South, but to see whether the courts will finally draw a bold line between charity and corruption.

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Brimat Multipurpose Hall was set ablaze with excitement on Sunday night as Kawale’s very own Byson “Fuso Fighter” Gwayani delivered a stunning Technical Knockout (TKO) victory over Blantyre-based Synoden Munyanje in the sixth round of their highly anticipated bout organized by Youth Boxing Promotions.

The event, dubbed “Judgement Day,” attracted hundreds of passionate boxing fans who filled the venue to witness one of the most thrilling local showdowns in recent memory.

Both fighters entered the ring with high confidence, each determined to prove their supremacy in the middleweight division.

From the first bell, Gwayani showcased impressive control and precision.

His movement, timing and quick combinations kept Munyanje on the defensive. Munyanje, however, showed resilience in the early rounds, responding with powerful counterpunches that tested Gwayani’s guard.

As the bout progressed, it became clear that Gwayani’s conditioning and strategy were superior.

In the sixth round, he unleashed a flurry of fierce punches that sent Munyanje staggering backward before collapsing to the canvas.

The referee immediately intervened, signaling a TKO as the crowd erupted into wild celebrations.

Medical personnel quickly attended to Munyanje, who fortunately regained full consciousness after a brief moment of dizziness.

Gwayani, visibly emotional, raised his hands in triumph and later dedicated the win to his fans in Kawale and his late mentor, who he said inspired him to pursue boxing seriously.

“This victory means a lot to me. I trained hard for this fight and I want to thank everyone who believed in me. Munyanje is a strong opponent but tonight was my night,” said Gwayani in a post-fight interview.

Promoter Kelvin Phiri of Youth Boxing Promotions described the fight as a sign that Malawian boxing is growing in both talent and popularity.

“We are proud to see such discipline and competitiveness. Both fighters gave the fans an unforgettable night,” he said.

With this victory, Gwayani strengthens his reputation as one of the rising stars in Malawi’s boxing scene.

Fans are already calling for him to challenge for a national title or even look for regional bouts beyond the country’s borders.

The “Judgement Day” event also featured several undercard fights involving young prospects, proving once again that Malawi’s boxing future looks bright.

Charles Spencer is sharing new details on how he crafted his sister Princess Diana’s eulogy at her funeral.

In an interview with Gyles Brandreth on the Friday, October 24, episode of the “Rosebud” podcast, the 9th Earl Spencer, 61, said that the eulogy he had originally planned for Diana’s memorial service in September 1997 was “very different” from what he eventually read.

He explained that he was “in bits” flying back to the U.K. from Cape Town, South Africa, when he started thinking about who could eulogize his sister.

“I had a big, thick address book, and I thought, ‘I want to find someone who’s going to make the speech for her.’ And I got to ‘Z’ and I hadn’t found anyone,” Spencer recalled of the “profoundly emotional moment.”

“[I] got off the plane in Heathrow [Airport], called my mother, I said, ‘I can’t think who’s going to give the eulogy. And I’ve got an awful feeling it’s going to have to be me,’” he continued. “And she said, ‘Well, it is going to be you. Your sisters and I have decided it.’”

Spencer said that he initially decided to write a “very traditional eulogy” about their childhood and such, but then thought, “Well, this is ridiculous, that’s not who she was.”

He said he soon “realized” that the moment called for him not to speak about the late Princess of Wales but to “speak for her.”

“And I knew I’d been left at that stage — it had no legal standing — but I knew she’d left me as guardian of her sons,” Spencer added of his nephews Prince William and Prince Harry, who were 15 and 12 when their mother died at age 36 after a car crash in Paris in August 1997.

“Obviously, the other parent being alive, that meant nothing, but it meant something to me. That sort of duty, I think,” Spencer said, noting that the now King Charles III would obviously be caring for his sons. “And then I wrote [the eulogy] in an hour and a half and, yeah, that was it, really.”

He admitted that he took a “name-check” to Rupert Murdoch out, deeming it “rather unnecessary,” but kept the rest of what he had planned to say in his touching speech.

The eulogy is “one of the most unforgettable moments in recent British history,” according to “Rosebud,” and detailed her selflessness, strength, beauty and love of family. It also spoke to Diana’s mistreatment by the British media.

“She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys, William and Harry, from a similar fate and I do this here Diana on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair,” Spencer said at the time.

“And beyond that,” he continued, “on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.”

Spencer has been a champion for both William, 43, and Harry, 41, over the years, notably supporting Harry in January after he settled his legal battle with The Sun. The News Group Newspaper, owned by Murdoch, 94, apologized to Harry “for the serious intrusion” of his private life, along with his late mother’s, for decades.

Spencer praised Harry following the victory, writing in an Instagram post at the time, “It takes an enormous amount of guts to take on major media organizations like this, and incredible tenacity to win against them. It’s wonderful that Harry also secured an apology for his mother — she would be immensely touched by this, I’m sure, and also rightly proud. Well done indeed.”

Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from their royal duties in 2020 and have since been in disagreement with his father, William and his wife, Kate Middleton.

Harry and Meghan, 44, now live in California with their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

“I enjoy living [in the U.S.] and bringing my kids up here,” the Duke of Sussex said at The New York Times’ DealBook Summit in New York City in December 2024. “It’s a part of my life that I never thought I was going to live and it feels as though it’s the life that my mom wanted for me.”

Elizabeth Hurley is giving fans an update on her ongoing relationship with country music singer, Billy Ray Cyrus.

“Billy Ray. Yes, Billy Ray is fabulous. We’re very happy, very happy,” Hurley, 60, told The Times of London in an interview published on Saturday, October 25.

“He loves it. Obviously he loves England,” she continued of her beau’s thoughts on her native country. “The weather is nicer here in the summer than it is in Tennessee. He lives 40 minutes outside of Nashville. It’s so beautiful. Funnily enough, it actually looks a lot like England. Probably the equivalent of Surrey.”

The actress also revealed that when the pair is together in Tennessee, they tend to fly under the radar, something that could be difficult given their respective careers. She added that Cyrus will often be waiting in the car when she goes grocery shopping because “he would be annoying.”

“I cut his hair the other day,” she revealed. “We do have a lot of hair between us. We’re in constant danger of choking on hairballs. He has got very fuzzy hair. Before this is done it’s out here. So we’ve actually got contrast hair, which we aim to make look the same in the end.”

Hurley and Cyrus first met back in 2022, when they costarred in Netflix’s Christmas in Paradise, but things weren’t anything other than professional between the pair until Hurley texted Cyrus in 2024.

“I didn’t even know the number, and it’s like, ‘Hey, it looks like life might be a little bit tough and just wanted you to know I’m in your corner. You got a friend in your corner,’” Cyrus recalled on Bentli’s Apple Music show in April 2025, calling Hurley a “great human being” and “impressively brilliant.”

The duo made their Instagram debut as a couple on Easter in April 2025, after keeping the growing relationship offline for months.

“Her friends have known about it for a while as it’s not a new thing,” a source told Us Weekly at the time, before the insider noted the British actress “had sworn them all to secrecy and they didn’t tell anyone outside of her tight circle of mostly gay men.”

Hurley later opened up about her budding romance at the Breast Cancer Research Foundation’s Hot Pink Party in New York City in May.

“I think people found Billy and I being together a little surprising. It’s not surprising to me because we’re actually quite similar and get on extremely well,” she said at the time.“There has been quite a reaction. … We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We’ve got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely.”

The actress also said the two spent their early relationship bonding over the fact that they are both single parents. Hurley is a mom to son Damien, while Cyrus is a dad to Brandi, Trace, Miley, Noah and Braison with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, and son Christopher with ex Kristin Luckey.
