Chadwick Boseman Honored with Posthumous Star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Chadwick Boseman received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on 20 November 2025, marking a formal recognition of his impact on film and global culture. His widow, Simone Ledward-Boseman, led the unveiling and accepted the honour on his behalf.
She spoke plainly about Boseman’s approach to work and life, describing him as someone who viewed acting as responsibility rather than performance. Outlets such as People and Yahoo News reported her calling him a “spiritual teacher,” a reference to his disciplined and intentional way of navigating the industry.

A small but notable detail drew attention during the ceremony. Simone placed a pair of Boseman’s shoes on the star, items he personally owned. Complex highlighted the gesture and noted its personal significance.
The event included tributes from colleagues who worked closely with him. Ryan Coogler, director of Black Panther, spoke about Boseman’s consistency on set and his direct working style. Entertainment Weekly noted that Viola Davis, who starred with him in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, struggled at points during her speech as she reflected on his influence and the difficulty of speaking about him in the past tense.

The audience included family members, collaborators and fans. Some attendees from the African diaspora pointed out how Boseman’s portrayal of King T’Challa changed perceptions of African representation in mainstream film, a view widely shared in South Africa where Black Panther became a cultural touchpoint.
After the ceremony, the star quickly became a focal point for visitors who left flowers and notes. It now stands as an official addition to Hollywood Boulevard and marks Boseman’s place in the industry’s history.
Anne Hathaway takes on a sinister role in the new trailer for Verity, playing bestselling author Verity Crawford, a woman who is left unable to move or speak after an accident. But while she appears helpless, the trailer hints that her condition may not be what it seems.
Based on Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel of the same name, Verity follows Lowen Ashleigh, played by Dakota Johnson, a writer hired by Verity’s husband, Jeremy Crawford, played by Josh Hartnett, to complete his wife’s book series. But after moving into the Crawford home, Lowen discovers an eerie unfinished manuscript that reveals something unsettling about Verity.

The nearly two-minute trailer follows Lowen as she settles into the Crawford home and begins working on Verity’s unfinished book. While going through Verity’s things, she comes across the author’s autobiography, and what she reads in the manuscript is disturbing. “This is my confession. My autobiography. A writer’s words should be honest and bloody and a little bit terrifying,” Verity warns.
Later in the trailer, Johnson says, “This place is insane,” and as she spends more time at the house, she grows closer to Jeremy, and the two begin a romantic relationship. But that relationship takes an unsettling turn. After Lowen and Jeremy are seen kissing, she notices blood on her lips. When she looks again, it is no longer Jeremy she is kissing, but Verity.

In the flashback scenes, Hathaway’s character appears with red lips and a menacing presence, even though she was unable to move or speak, suggesting that Lowen may have a reason to question Verity’s condition. “This is your final warning: only darkness ahead,” Verity says at the end of the trailer.
Directed by Michael Showalter, Verity is based on Colleen Hoover’s 2018 novel, which was originally self-published before being acquired by Grand Central Publishing. Hoover also serves as a producer on the film.
Verity is Hathaway’s fifth film of 2026, following Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey and The End of Oak Street.
Verity is scheduled to hit theaters on October 2.

She first stepped onto the clay court in a sleeveless black top with a corset-style hem, with sequined detailing. The sequins fell in loose, fringe-like strands, adding movement to the look. She paired it with a black pleated maxi skirt, with a soft nude underlayer.

When it was time to play, Osaka removed the outer pieces to reveal a gold minidress underneath. The look featured a high-neck top with a ruffled hem and lines of gold sequins, matched with a tiered mini skirt finished with similar detailing. She wore pink sneakers and styled her hair in a braided bun, with a few loose strands left out.

Speaking at a press conference, Osaka explained how she expresses herself through fashion.
“I feel like fashion, for me, I tell people, I don’t talk a lot, so that way I can talk through my clothes. That means I can be as loud with colors or patterns or fabric as I want, that’s the fun part, you know.” She continued, “I feel like we lost that a little in tennis, I always tell people I grew up with Serena and Venus Williams‘ grand reveals. I literally can look at a picture and probably tell you what year that outfit came from.
She concluded with “I know there are some kids or some people that are similar to me that hopefully feel that same way about my outfits. But, yeah, I am a little dramatic when it comes to my fashion sense.”

Osaka defeated Siegemund to advance to the second round, where she is set to face Donna Vekić on May 27.
