“Barbenheimer” was a phenomenon impossible to manufacture. But, more than a year later, that hasn’t stopped people from trying to make “Glicked” — or even “Babyratu” — happen. The counterprogramming of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office. This combination of images shows promotional art for "Gladiator II," left, and "Wicked." And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, “Saw Patrol” ). This weekend is perhaps the closest approximation yet as the Broadway musical adaptation “Wicked” opens Friday against the chest-thumping sword-and-sandals epic “Gladiator II.” Two big studio releases (Universal and Paramount), with one-name titles, opposite tones and aesthetics and big blockbuster energy — it was already halfway there before the name game began: “Wickiator,” “Wadiator,” “Gladwick” and even the eyebrow raising “Gladicked” have all been suggested. “'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more,” actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of “Gladiator II” this week. “I think we should all band around ‘Glicked.’ It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it.” As with “Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, “Glicked” also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging muscles. Both films topped Fandango’s most anticipated holiday movie survey, where 65% of respondents said that they were interested in the “Glicked” double feature. Theaters big and small are also pulling out the stops with movie-themed tie-ins. B&B Theaters will have Roman guards tearing tickets at some locations and Maximus popcorn tubs. Marcus Theaters is doing Oz photo ops and friendship bracelet-making. Alamo Drafthouse is leaning into the singalong aspect (beware, though, not all theaters are embracing this) and the punny drinks like “Defying Gravi-Tea.” This image released by Universal Pictures shows Cynthia Erivo, left, and Ariana Grande in a scene from the film "Wicked." “Rather than it being in competition, I think they’re in conversation,” “Gladiator II” star Paul Mescal said. “This industry needs a shot in the arm. Those films gave it last year. We hope to do it this year.” And the hope is that audiences will flock to theaters to be part of this moment as well. It's a sorely needed influx of could-be blockbusters into a marketplace that's still at an 11% deficit from last year and down 27.2% from 2019, according to data from Comscore. “Competition is good for the marketplace. It’s good for consumers,” said Michael O'Leary, the president and CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners. “Having two great movies coming out at the same time is simply a multiplier effect.” “Glicked” is currently tracking for a combined North American debut in the $165 million range, with “Wicked” forecast to earn around $100 million (up from the $80 million estimates a few weeks ago) and “Gladiator II” pegged for the $65 million range. “Barbenheimer” shattered its projections last July. Going into that weekend, “Barbie” had been pegged for $90 million and “Oppenheimer” around $40 million. Ultimately, they brought in a combined $244 million in that first outing, and nearly $2.4 billion by the end of their runs. It’s possible “Glicked” will exceed expectations, too. And it has the advantage of another behemoth coming close behind: “Moana 2,” which opens just five days later on the Wednesday before the Thanksgiving holiday. “Glickedana” triple feature anyone? This image released by Paramount Pictures shows Pedro Pascal, left, and Paul Mescal in a scene from "Gladiator II." “These are 10 important days,” O'Leary said. “It’s going to show the moviegoing audience that there’s a lot of compelling stuff out there for them to see.” There are infinite caveats to the imperfect comparison to “Barbenheimer,” as well. “Wicked” is a “Part One.” Musicals carry their own baggage with moviegoers, even those based on wildly successful productions (ahem, “Cats”). “Gladiator II” got a head start and opened internationally last weekend. In fact, in the U.K. it played alongside “Paddington in Peru,” where that double was pegged “Gladdington.” “Gladiator” reviews, while positive, are a little more divided than the others. And neither directors Ridley Scott nor Jon M. Chu has the built-in box office cache that Christopher Nolan’s name alone carries at the moment. The new films also cost more than “Barbie” ($145 million) and “Oppenheimer” ($100 million). According to reports, “Gladiator II” had a $250 million price tag; “Wicked” reportedly cost $150 million to produce (and that does not include the cost of the second film, due next year). The narrative, though, has shifted away from “who will win the weekend.” Earlier this year, Chu told The Associated Press that he loves that this is a moment where “we can root for all movies all the time.” Close behind are a bevy of Christmas releases with double feature potential, but those feel a little more niche. There’s the remake of “Nosferatu,” the Nicole Kidman kink pic “Babygirl” and the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.” The internet can’t even seem to decide on its angle for that batch of contenders, and none exactly screams blockbuster. Sometimes the joy is just in the game, however. Some are sticking with the one-name mashup (“Babyratu”); others are suggesting that the fact that two of the movies feature real-life exes (Timothée Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp) is enough reason for a double feature. And getting people talking is half the battle. When in doubt, or lacking a catchy name, there’s always the default: “This is my Barbenheimer.” Associated Press journalist John Carucci and Film Writer Jake Coyle contributed reporting. Last summer, Malibu's iconic blonde faced off against Cillian Murphy and the hydrogen bomb in the unforgettable "Barbenheimer" double feature. Copyright 2024 The Associated Press.

Aly Vazquez MedSpa Pro aly.vazquez@informa.comA number of tech billionaires — including many who have not previously backed Trump — are beginning to open their pocketbooks for President-elect Donald Trump , contributing large amounts of money to his inaugural fund . Among them are Amazon's Jeff Bezos, OpenAI's Sam Altman, and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. Their donations triggered a furious reaction from many commenters on social media. "REMINDER: Jeff Bezos blocked his Washington Post from endorsing VP Harris — now Bezos gives Trump one million dollars to his inaugural committee and Amazon will stream the event!!" progressive talk radio host Dean Obeidallah wrote on X. "The US is a plutocracy!" David Pepper, former chair of the Ohio Democratic Party, warned that things won't go well for the donors. "Because he owns The Washington Post, Bezos would know more than anyone that one of the first scandals in the first Trump term was the excess and graft involved in Trump’s inauguration operation, orchestrated by the cast of shady characters who put it all together," he wrote. "As for those business leaders cozying up to Trump to curry favor, they might want to read 'Garden of Beasts' to see the effectiveness of their strategy (or ask Justin Trudeau)." But it wasn't just liberals who were upset. Some pro-Trump commenters were also enraged at what they saw as attempts to influence the president-elect's agenda by a number of wealthy businessmen, some of whom have criticized him in the past . ALSO READ: The reckoning: Plenty of hurts coming for the people who didn't care about their country "Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg are all donating $1,000,000 to Trump’s inaugural committee to try to 'get on the good foot' with the new administration," wrote right-wing podcaster Joey Mannarino. "Don’t be fooled. These men haven’t changed and $1,000,000 to them is sofa change. They’re bad actors. Period." "Tech titans like Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Sam Altman are throwing millions at Trump’s inaugural fund, probably hoping to avoid being hit with censorship crackdowns or personally blamed for the AI apocalypse (cough, Sam, cough)" wrote social media personality Mario Nawfal. "With Trump back in the driver’s seat, it seems Big Tech is hedging its bets by tossing cash at the problem. Translation: When in doubt, pay up and pray."

Share to Facebook Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Pope Francis opens a "Holy Door" at St Peter's Basilica to mark the start of the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Photo by VINCENZO PINTO The unlocking of the Holy Door at St. Peter's Basilica on Christmas Eve by Pope Francis — the event that kicked off the 2025 Jubilee — heralded the start of a historic event taking place every 25 years and that will end with the closing of the door on January 6, 2026. The opening of the Holy Door, watched on screens by thousands of faithful outside in St Peter's Square, means that during the next 12 months Catholic pilgrims from around the world will be able to pass through the door that is walled at all other times to get a "plenary indulgence," which means forgiveness for their sins. Other Holy Doors in Rome's three major basilicas and in Catholic churches around the world are also being opened. During the year-long Vatican Jubilee , a church tradition dating back to the 15th century encouraging the faithful to make pilgrimages to Rome, and amid serious security fears by authorities, millions of worshippers from around the world are expected to descend upon Italy’s capital and other Catholic landmarks around Italy to seek indulgence. The Jubilee 2025 logo Pope Francis Jubilee And Pilgrims By The Millions More than 35 million attendees are expected in Rome alone, according to Italy’s National Tourist Research Institute — nearly three times the numbers recorded in 2023. “Pilgrimage,” as explained by Pope Francis, is “fundamental” during jubilees: “Setting out on a journey is traditionally associated with our human quest for meaning in life. A pilgrimage on foot is a great aid for rediscovering the value of silence, effort and simplicity of life.” For the Jubilee 2025 celebration, Rome has been prepared to sparkle and shine with key projects only finished in the last few days following months of work that turned much of the city into a building site. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said it had taken a "little civil miracle" to get the project finished in time. Well-known sites and artworks in Rome and at the Vatican including St. Peter’s Basilica have been restored. Also buffed up are Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers in Piazza Navona and Bernini’s angels on the Ponte Sant’Angelo. Monuments such as the Trevi Fountain and the Ponte Sant'Angelo have been cleaned up and roads redesigned to improve the flow of traffic. Religious souvenirs and prayer cards featuring Pope Francis (Papa Francesco) displayed near Vatican City in preparation for the 2025 Jubilee Year Security Efforts And Worries As preparation get underway in the “eternal city,” not everyone is happy: “Romans are gesticulating in overdrive and griping in snarled traffic as the Eternal City overhauls piazzas, fountains, bridges and tunnels,” the Washington Post reports. “Even more are ranting about surging rents and greedy landlords poised to cash in on a coming tsunami of tourists.” Some 700 security officers are being deployed around the Vatican and Rome. Still, many residents worry about how the Eternal City is going to cope with millions more visitors at sites that are already overcrowded and with public transport jammed and unreliable. Piazza Navona Square during renovation works for the Jubilee of the year 2025 The Sites To Visit Among the sites most visited by Jubilee visitors will be the Christian catacombs and seven major pilgrim churches that are popular destinations among Catholics since St. Philip Neri in the 16th century made his 15-mile walk: the basilicas of St. Peter, St. Mary Major, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. Lawrence, Holy Cross and St. Sebastian. Another 12 churches around Rome have been designated “Jubilee churches” and are included in the itinerary. Given the massive numbers of visitors, anyone planning to visit Rome is advised to make advance reservations for accommodations, tickets and transport. An increase in tourists tax is also expected. Hope And Patience The Jubilee is intended as a period of reflection and penance and organized around the theme “Pilgrims of Hope,” with the concepts of hope and patience placed at the center of the celebration and primarily aimed at the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. “Everyone knows what it is to hope,” Pope Francis wrote. “In the heart of each person, hope dwells as the desire and expectation of good things to come, despite our not knowing what the future may bring.” Pope Francis also described patience as a “virtue closely linked to hope,” yet can feel elusive in “our fast-paced world where we are used to wanting everything now.” Faithful gather in front of the basilica at St Peter's square during the Christmas Eve mass launching Jubilee 2025. Photo by Alberto Pizzoli The Reward: Indulgence For those pilgrims following the Catholic church’s commandments for the 2025 Jubilee, there are spiritual rewards that include the granting of indulgences. The sacrament of Confession in Catholicism is one way to get sins pardoned, releasing the sinner from eternal punishment. Indulgences permit the removal of “the temporal punishment of sin that may remain and the consequence of the wrongdoing that might disrupt the sinner’s relationships with others.” Catholics, as reported by the Associated Press, can obtain an indulgence if they: — Undertake a pious pilgrimage, participating in Masses and other sacraments, at any of the four papal basilicas in Rome or the Holy Land, or other sacred Jubilee sites “so as to manifest the great need for conversion and reconciliation.” — Participate in works of charity, mercy or penance, such as visiting prisoners, sick people or elderly people or undertaking corporal works of mercy “to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned and bury the dead.” — Abstain, in a spirit of penance, for at least one day of the week from “futile distractions” such as social media or from “superfluous consumption” such as fasting; or donating the proportionate sum to the poor or to help migrants. Most Important Events For Jubilee 2025 Among the main events scheduled throughout the year are a long list of cultural and religious meetings including masses, exhibitions, conferences and concerts. Also central to the celebration are Jubilee gatherings with liturgies, speakers and papal audiences for different groups: For example: From January 24-26, the Jubilee of the World of Communications; on February 8 and 9, the Jubilee of the Armed Forces, Police and Security Personnel; from February 15-18, Jubilee for artists; from February 21-23 for deacons; from May 10-11 for marching bands; from April 25-27, Jubilee of Teenagers; and from July 28-August 3, Jubilee of Young People. Along with the special gatherings, there will be canonisations and the celebration of the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, from which Christians received the Nicene Creed. The Jubilee Year concludes with the closing of the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica on January 6, 2026. Other major basilicas will close on December 28, 2025.

Woman who falsely accused Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006 publicly admits she lied RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The woman who in 2006 falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of raping her has admitted publicly for the first time that she made up the story. The accusations made national headlines at the time, stirring tensions about race, class and the privilege of college athletes. Crystal Mangum, who is Black, said in an interview with the “Let’s Talk with Kat” podcast that she “made up a story that wasn’t true” about the white players who attended a party where she was hired to perform as a stripper “because I wanted validation from people and not from God.” The former Duke players were declared innocent in 2007 after Mangum’s story fell apart under legal scrutiny. Sophia, a famous robot and global icon of AI, wins hearts at Zimbabwe's innovation fair HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Sophia, a world-renowned robot, has been the center of attention at an Artificial Intelligence and Innovation fair in Zimbabwe this week. Described as an AI global icon by the U.N., Sophia can hold human-like conversations with people and recognize their gestures. As a special guest at the week-long event at the University of Zimbabwe, she answered questions on academic topics from researchers. Children quizzed her about the bible, God and her birth. She also made clear her aversion to human food and romance. The United Nations Development Program said it brought Sophia to Zimbabwe as part of efforts to “inspire youth, policymakers, and innovators to embrace AI as a catalyst for development.” Stanley recalls millions of travel mugs over concerns the lids might fall off, causing burns Stanley is recalling approximately 2.6 million of its switchback and trigger action stainless steel travel mugs sold in the U.S. because of a potential burn hazard.

Miami Dolphins release veteran receiver Odell Beckham Jr. MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on Friday, ending the former Pro Bowler’s short tenure with the team. Beckham had missed the past two days of practice for what the team called personal reasons. Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel indicated that the decision to part ways was mutual. Beckham signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins in May, but started the season on the physically unable to perform list after offseason knee surgery. Since his Dolphins debut in Week 5 against New England, Beckham had just nine catches for 55 yards in nine games. Bird strike disables a jetliner engine and forces an emergency landing at JFK airport NEW YORK (AP) — Authorities say a bird strike involving an American Airlines jetliner disabled one of the plane’s two engines shortly after takeoff from New York’s LaGuardia Airport. The plane was forced to turn around and land at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Airline officials say no one was injured. Flight 1722 took off from LaGuardia at 7:43 p.m. Thursday with a destination of Charlotte, North Carolina. Airport officials say it safely made an emergency landing at Kennedy at 8:03 p.m. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating. The agency received reports of 19,400 strikes at 713 airports across the U.S. last year alone. Rarely do they force jetliners to make emergency landings. 49ers LB De'Vondre Campbell refuses to enter game after losing his starting spot SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco linebacker De’Vondre Campbell refused to enter the game in the third quarter after losing his starting job when Dre Greenlaw returned from an injury. Campbell played 90% of defensive snaps for the 49ers but was benched after Greenlaw came back for his first game since tearing his left Achilles tendon in last season’s Super Bowl. When Greenlaw left with soreness in the third quarter Thursday night against the Rams, Campbell told the coaches he didn't want to play and left the field. Coach Kyle Shanahan says he has never seen that before and the team will “figure out something” on how to deal with it going forward. 'Crown of Thorns' returns to Notre Dame Cathedral for public veneration PARIS (AP) — An ancient relic that many Christians revere as Jesus Christ’s “Crown of Thorns” has returned to Notre Dame, five years after it was saved from the flames of the cathedral’s devastating 2019 fire. The crown — a circular band of branches encased in a gilded golden tube — was brought back to its historic home Friday in a ceremony. The event was presided over by the archbishop of Paris and attended by knights and dames of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulcher, marking a key moment in the cathedral’s restoration journey. In 1239, it was acquired by King Louis IX of France, who brought it to Paris. 'Vanderpump Rules' star James Kennedy arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — Police say “Vanderpump Rules” star James Kennedy has been arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor domestic violence. Police in Burbank, California, say officers investigated reports of an argument between a man and a woman at a residence late Tuesday night and arrested the 32-year-old Kennedy. He was released from jail after posting bail. A representative of Kennedy did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. The Burbank city attorney will decide whether to file charges. Kennedy is a DJ and reality TV star who has appeared for 10 seasons on “Vanderpump Rules” — the Bravo series about the lives of employees at a set of swank restaurants.
