USA TODAY

Even if you're not obsessed withElvis Presley, you might be after seeing him in all his jumpsuited majesty taking care of business in "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert," Baz Luhrmann's sensational mix of documentary and concert film. That anda new "Scream" moviewill keep you entertained at the cinema this weekend, while the guys from"Scrubs"are back for the sitcom's revival on ABC and Hulu. It's also the Actor Awards this weekend, and we're just two weeks away from theAcademy Awards, so now's the time to get ready for that last push toward Oscar glory.

Now on to the good stuff:

See Elvis Presley strut his stuff on the big screen with 'EPiC' documentary

The King of Rock 'n' Roll takes the Vegas stage at the peak of his musical prowess in "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert."

So, fun fact: I like Elvis but I don't loooooove Elvis. But watching "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert" is like a history lesson and a holy awakening all at once. Baz Luhrmann found hours upon hours of old footage buried in a salt mine of Presley performing in the early 1970s at his Vegas residency and on tour. The director has used all that to craft a jaw-dropping look at the man and the musician in his creative prime. (Peep my★★★½ review.)

Another fun fact: Our movie editor Kim Willis looooooves Elvis and is abonafide experton the legend. She talked with Luhrmann about his"Raiders of the Lost Ark"-type questto find boxes of film and how the movie reaches beyond the hardcore Elvis crowd. "People are coming in who don't care about Elvis and going, 'Who is this guy? I had no idea,' " the filmmaker says. Kim also did a piece onthe rock star who has an unexpected cameoat the end of "EPiC."

Stream Zach Braff, Donald Faison's sitcom return in 'Scrubs' reboot

Zach Braff as JD and Donald Faison as Turk in the revival of "Scrubs."

For years, those who lovedZach Braff and Donald Faison's old "Scrubs" shenanigansonly had T-Mobile commercials to remind of their comedic chemistry. Now folks get to see them back in a familiar hospital environment in ABC's new "Scrubs" reboot (with the premiere episodestreaming on Hulu). My colleague Bryan Alexander chatted with the twosome about getting their signature "Eagle" piggyback ride flying again, how some of their costars weren't even born when the show first premiered in 2001, and their real-life friendship. "I'm still a 50-year-old bachelor, and Donald's married with kids," Braff says. "I still FaceTime Donald five times a day and if I'm lucky, he'll answer once."

But TV critic Kelly Lawler isn't amused by the reunion. In her★ review, she writes that the "humor" is corny, the show traffics in stereotypes and it's "so cognitively dissonant from the world in which we live now." In other words ... not exactly "The Pitt."

Catch up on Oscar movies, nominated actors before the big day

My bud Patrick chatted with "One Battle After Another" star Teyana Taylor, who's up for best supporting actress, about how her two young daughters are herawards season "co-stylists,"keeping her humble. "They definitely have final approval on how I walk out that door," she says.

Patrick also talked with supporting actor contender Stellan SkarsgÃ¥rd, the "Sentimental Value" standout who has a huge brood – including actor sons Alexander, Gustaf, Bill, and Valter – butdoesn't see himself in his roleas a distant filmmaking dad. "I've learned an important lesson that each child is different from the next," he says. "Some need more attention and some don't want any attention. There are eight different characters there."

Paul McCartney doc explores him 'trying to escape' Beatles shadow

Paul McCartney'ssecond life began the day the Beatles broke up.

USA TODAY

Then his life was forever altered again Dec. 8, 1980, when his musical soulmateJohn Lennon was murdered.

Those seismic events bookend"Man on the Run,"the gently probing documentary from acclaimed filmmakerMorgan Neville("20 Feet From Stardom," "Keith Richards: Under the Influence") which streams on Prime Video Feb. 27.

"Think about how, in 1969, Paul marries Linda, he adopts a kid (her 6-year-old daughter Heather), he has a kid (Mary) and the Beatles break up. So kind of everything in his life changes. And I just thought as a filmmaker, that's a great place to begin," Neville said in a Q&A moderated by USA TODAY following a screening in New York. "Then I thought, where does the story end? With John dying. The journey of the 1970s for Paul in many ways is trying to escape the shadow of the Beatles, which is impossible. He's running away from this looming shadow, which is why I called the film 'Man on the Run.' And when John dies, it all stops."

The nearly two hour film centers on McCartney's retreat to a farm in Scotland in 1970 following the official split of perhaps the most consequential band in music history. The Beatles might have dissolved, but McCartney'sneed to expel songs from his brainremained robust.

Paul McCartney working on music at his Scotland farm, as depicted in the Prime documentary, "Man on the Run," out Feb. 27, 2026.

His lo-fi solo debut, "McCartney" arrived in April 1970, the same month McCartney announced his Beatles retreat (Lennon had secretly departed the band months earlier).

As he struggled through depression and rare critical sniping toward his solo work, McCartney and Linda, depicted in home moviesas his ever-steady rockand champion,formed Wings. The band employed a rotating cast of drummers and guitarists during its near-decade of output and blossomed by 1973 with the landmark "Band on the Run" album. Wings dropped a trove of hits into pop music history ("My Love," "Live and Let Die," "Listen to What the Man Said," "Silly Love Songs" and "With a Little Luck" just a smattering).

"Man on the Run" includes new interviewswith McCartney, 83, as well as daughters Stella and Mary and Sean Ono Lennon. Linda McCartney, who died in 1998, and former Wings players also have a voice from archived interviews and home videos that McCartney, an executive producer of the documentary, freely gave access to Neville.

In a separate interview with USA TODAY, Neville expounded on earning McCartney's trust, the revelation that surprised him and learning McCartney's private reaction to Lennon's death.

Linda McCartney shares a moment with husband Paul in a clip from the Prime documentary, "Man on the Run," out Feb. 27, 2026.

Question: We've seen a lot from Paul's life over the years. What was some of the 'I've struck gold' video that you found?

Morgan Neville: When he told me the story of almost drowning in Hawaii. He's never told that story before. Then I found the movie footage and it exactly illustrates what he's describing. Then all of that home video of him writing a song by himself or the family singing 'You Are My Sunshine.' All of that was new to find. As somebody who devoured all things Beatles, there's a lot of stuff in (the documentary) that hasn't been seen or heard.

Did Paul steer you in any way to certain footage?

No. Paul basically had no direction for me – in a good way. Literally when I told him this is the kind of film I wanted to make, he said, 'OK. Sounds good.' The next time he talked about the film was when he watched the final cut.

Did he have any notes for you?

None. Yes, Paul is an executive producer, but this cut is 100% my film. I did not change a single thing for Paul. Part of that is I guess I built trust with him, but also when I talked to him about the film I just said, look, at times I'm getting very honest about things, but I think the struggles you have are actually incredibly relatable. I felt like it had worked when he said, I really want to show this to my entire family. And he did.

The film delves into the vitriol that Linda experienced and the hatred she got from fans because she wasn't a musician (she learned to play keyboards in Wings). Imagine what that would have been like in today's world with social media.

Paul was coming out of the Beatles at that moment and he was one of themost famous humanson the planet. So every day in the paper there were things about them. That was a kind of fame at that point that was virtually unprecedented, maybe only also with Elvis. It was Linda's idea to move to Scotland. Paul had bought the house there as a tax dodge, and he didn't like it. He'd barely spent a night or two there and Linda said, we need to get away. Once he saw Scotland through her eyes, he said, OK, let's do it. As crazy as it seemed at the time, it actually was incredibly healing. What better way to stay grounded than to literally become a farmer?

I thought it was interesting that you chose not to show any of the interview subjects on camera, so we just hear their voices. Why did you choose that approach?

When you take everybody off camera, it becomes less of "old people looking back" and more present tense. It's like you're in the story as it's happening. Also, the archive was so strong. Fortunately, Paul married a photographer!

And you added some animations throughout.

Those are all homemade, that kind of stop-motion animation. One of the artistic stories that decade for Paul is DIY. The music was handmade. Recording in your house or in your barn. Even the album covers, there were a bunch of things where Paul was embracing the lack of gloss.

One of the interviews is with John's son, Sean, who really explains Paul's reaction to John's death in public. When Paul told a news team, 'It's a drag, man,' people took his response to be exceptionally cold.

Sean's reaction is so loving and understanding and graceful that he understands that Paul's in shock. In the film, (daughter) Stella tells the story of Paul's real reaction when he gets the phone call (about John's murder), which I've never heard before. That's the private reaction … Paul obviously loved John deeply. All those moments where John would refer to Paul as his best friend or his brother, even when they were fighting, they had that kind of relationship. And the film really is these two love stories of Linda and Paul and Linda and John and Paul.

Taliban soldiers carry rocket launcher in a vehicle near Torkham border

KABUL/ISLAMABAD, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Pakistan bombed Taliban government forces in Afghanistan's major cities overnight, the first time it has directly targeted its former allies, and described the situation as "open war", raising tensions in a volatile, nuclear-armed region.

The Pakistani strikes hit the capital Kabul and the city of Kandahar, where Taliban leaders are ‌based. It was the first time Islamabad has attacked the Taliban rather than militants allegedly backed by them, a stark rupture in ties between the Islamic neighbours.

Security sources in Pakistan said ‌the strikes involved air-to-ground missile attacks on Taliban military offices and posts in Kabul, Kandahar as well as Paktia province. There were ground clashes in multiple sectors along the border between the Islamic nations.

The Taliban said it launched what it described as retaliatory ​attacks on Pakistani military installations.

Both sides reported heavy losses, issuing sharply differing figures that Reuters could not independently verify.

"Our cup of patience has overflowed. Now it is open war between us and you (Afghanistan)," Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif said on Friday.

The strikes threaten to unleash a protracted conflict along the 2,600-km (1,615-mile) frontier with relations between Kabul and Islamabad shattered by a long-running dispute over Pakistan's accusation that Afghanistan harbours militants carrying out attacks across the border.

The Taliban have denied the charge and said Pakistan's security is an internal problem.

Pakistan is nuclear-armed and its military capabilities are vastly superior to Afghanistan. However, the Taliban are adept at guerrilla warfare, hardened by decades ‌of fighting with U.S.-led forces, before returning to power in 2021.

Russia, China, ⁠Turkey and Saudi Arabia were trying to mediate, diplomats and news reports said.

Iran, which borders both Afghanistan and Pakistan, has also offered to help, according to its foreign ministry. The offer came as Tehran holds crucial talks with Washington on resolving their longstanding nuclear dispute and averting new U.S. strikes.

DRONE STRIKES

Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid ⁠confirmed Pakistani forces carried out air strikes in parts of Kabul, Kandahar and Paktia but did not give details.

On Friday, the Taliban defence ministry said it "successfully conducted" air strikes using drones to hit military targets in Pakistan. Pakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said the strikes were carried out by Pakistani Taliban militants and all the drones brought down by anti-drone systems with "no damage to life".

Videos shared by Pakistani security officials showed flashes of light in the night from ​firing ​along the border and the sound of heavy artillery. A video of strikes on Kabul, for which Reuters was able ​to verify the location, showed thick plumes of black smoke rising from two ‌sites and a massive blaze in part of the capital.

Kabul taxi driver Tamim said he was asleep when he heard the sound of an aircraft, which was followed by strikes on what appeared to be a weapons depot.

"We woke up, and the plane came and dropped two bombs, then flew away again. After that, we heard explosions," he said.

"Everyone, in panic, ran down from the second floor of the house. The ammunition inside the depot kept exploding on its own."

Reuters witnesses in Kabul said many ambulance sirens could be heard following loud blasts and the sound of jets.

Mosharraf Zaidi, a Pakistani government spokesperson, said in a post on X that the action as a response to "unprovoked Afghan attacks", adding 133 Afghan Taliban fighters were killed and more than 200 wounded, with 27 posts destroyed and nine captured.

Mujahid, the Taliban spokesperson, said 55 ‌Pakistani soldiers were killed and 19 posts seized, while eight Taliban fighters were killed, 11 wounded and 13 civilians injured ​in Nangarhar province.

HIGH SECURITY

Clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan in October killed dozens of soldiers until negotiations facilitated by Turkey, Qatar and ​Saudi Arabia brought an end to the hostilities.

Pakistan has been on high security alert since ​it launched air strikes earlier this week that Islamabad said targeted camps of Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP), or Pakistani Taliban, and Islamic State militants in eastern Afghanistan.

Kabul and the United Nations ‌said the strikes killed 13 civilians and reiterated it does not allow militants ​to operate from its territory. The Taliban also warned ​there would be a strong response.

The government of Pakistan's Punjab province said it was on high alert for militant attacks on Friday and had conducted a series of security operations, taking 90 Afghan nationals to holding centres for deportation.

A state-run media outlet from Afghanistan's Nangarhar, Bakhtar News Agency, shared an image of what it said was a battalion of suicide attackers, and quoted an ​Afghan security source as saying the bombers were equipped with explosive vests and ‌car bombs and were prepared to strike major targets.

Pakistani officials have said in recent days they feared an escalation of militant strikes in urban centres.

Brooklyn Beckham and Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckhamis managing a very public feud with her oldest son,Brooklyn, but the fashion mogul is now trying to control the damage. After Brooklyn released a six-pagestatementaccusing his parents of controlling behavior and mistreating his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, the family rift only worsened — but Victoria reportedly wants her famous friends to stop defending her in the press. She allegedly worries that any public support from her close ones will trigger something bigger than what they are already facing.

Victoria Beckham asking close friends to 'say nothing' on Brooklyn Beckham feud, per source

International Business Timesreported thatVictoria Beckham's feud with her son, Brooklyn Beckham, hit a breaking point when celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay decided to speak up. Brooklyn previously claimed that his mother acted inappropriately during a dance at his 2022 wedding — but Ramsay attended the ceremony and firmly denied this, saying, "Victoria is upset, and has every right to be upset."

He added, "There was nothing salacious. There was nothing inappropriate. Everyone was just having fun and having a dance." Brooklyn did not take the defense well and immediately unfollowed Ramsay on Instagram. Now, insiders claim that this is exactly the reaction that frightened Victoria.

An insider claimed, "While Vic desperately wants Brooklyn back, she also wants to tread carefully and doesn't want to poke the bear," explaining, "So many of her pals have offered to speak up on her behalf like Gordon, and although she's been very appreciative of the support, she's terrified it's going to cause Brooklyn to speak out yet again and cause the family more turmoil."

Moreover, they claimed, "She doesn't want him to say something even more explosive than he already has."

Additionally, singerMarc Anthonyalso stepped into the mess, and his comments allegedly pushed the Beckhams into "crisis mode." Though the family is currently "bracing" for what comes next, the source claimed, "Brooklyn's made it clear he does not want reconciliation, so nobody knows what he could do next."

Still, the insider claimed that Victoria has "checked in with Marc and other pals and told them to say nothing," in an attempt to prevent the feud withBrooklynfrom worsening.
