George Clooney banned the use of Adam Sandler’s nickname on the set of their movie Jay Kelly.

The former E.R. star plays the title role of an ageing actor in the new drama with Sandler as Kelly’s manager Ron.

Clooney just revealed that he urged the rest of the cast and crew not to call his co-star the “Sandman” while they were shooting because he wanted Sandler to be taken seriously for his “incredible talent.”

The actor told The Hollywood Reporter: “You get treated the way you treat yourself. This was a different kind of role for Adam, and I wanted to make sure that he wasn’t making fun of his incredible talent.”

“He likes to just deflect and I was like: ‘You know what, dude, you’re really good in this film and you’re a really good actor and let’s not just make jokes,'” the Wolfs talent added.

However, Sandler insisted on keeping his nickname, adding: “I still call myself the Sandman; he [Clooney] can’t stop me.”

“He just is very protective over me. He’s a really nice guy. We would do all these scenes together and we’d get deep together and he’d say: ‘I just want people to recognize that’ and I’d say: ‘I’m OK, I like just working hard,’ and he’d say: ‘No.’ He’s very nice, he’s trying to look out for me,’” the Happy Gilmore star mentioned.

Jay Kelly will open in few cinemas on November 14 before arriving on Netflix on December 5.

Radiohead is completely surprised by their TikTok success.

The band’s 1997 single Let Down returned to America’s Billboard Hot 100 in August, 28 years after its release after the track became popular on the platform.

Front man Thom Yorke admits the song’s resurgence feels “bizarre” because he initially fought to have it dropped from their 1997 album OK Computer.

Yorke told The Sunday Times newspaper’s Culture magazine: “I find that especially bizarre. Because I fought tooth and nail for it not to be on the record, but [guitarist] Ed O’Brien was, like: ‘If it’s not, I’m leaving.'”

Ed O’Brien went on to tell the publication he sees the song as the “emotional heart” of the album, but he was still confused by the song’s popularity on TikTok – so he asked his kids about it.

He said: “I was astonished [by the son’s success on TikTok]. So, I told my kids, who are 18 and 21, and they said: ‘What do you expect? Teenagers are depressed. It’s depressing music!'”

It is pertinent to mention that Radiohead announced last month they will be returning to the stage in a number of European cities later this year marking their first gigs since 2018.

Thom Yorke also explained the reason for the band’s hiatus, saying: “The wheels came off a bit, so we had to stop.”

Hurricane Melissa now labelled as “Category 4” is now intensifying into “Category 5” storm, prompting urgent warnings from U.S. forecasters that it could be “potentially catastrophic” for Jamaica as it endangers to become one of the strongest storms to ever strike the island.

Under these threatening circumstances, officials urge residents to evacuate low-lying areas as the hurricane is estimated to release an “unprecedented” rain.

As confirmed by authorities, Melissa can prompt around 30 inches or more rainfall in isolated areas in coming days.

As of now, Hurricane Melissa was located about 124 miles south-southwest of Kingston, Jamaica. With winds of intensity 145 mph and moving west at just 5 mph, the storm is expected to strengthen further and could become a Category 5 hurricane.

Director of the U.S. National Hurricane Center, Jamie Rhome, warned that the region’s forecast has become “increasingly dire.”

Emphasizing on the intensity of the storm, he warned that Melissa’s combination of the storm’s slow movement and extreme rainfall will “create catastrophic events” for Jamaica.

“Be wherever you are going to be and be ready to ride this out for several days,” Rhome urged residents in eastern Jamaica.

He also warned about widespread power outages, disrupted communications, and impassable roads.

The storm’s projected path suggests the center of Melissa will move very close to or directly over Jamaica through Tuesday, October 28, possibly making landfall as an “upper-end” Category 4 hurricane.

If it happens, it would be only the second Category 4 storm to hit Jamaica in recorded history, following the devastating Hurricane Gilbert in 1988.

The emerging threat has prompted extensive preparations across the Caribbean:

Jamaica

Airports have been closed, and the government has issued evacuation orders for high-risk communities. Residents are stocking up on supplies, making supermarkets and gas stations crowded, creating a “level of panic” as reported by Norman Scott, the mayor of Spanish Town.

Haiti and Dominican Republic

There is catastrophic flash flooding and landslides in the region. Authorities in Haiti reported at least three storm-related deaths, with at least one death was reported in the Dominican Republic.

Cuba

A hurricane watch was upgraded to a warning for the eastern part of the country. The U.S. Navy has begun evacuating hundreds of non-essential personnel and family members from the Guantánamo Bay naval base.

Bahamas

The storm is forecasted to hit the southeastern Bahamas by Wednesday, October 29.

Melissa’s intensification has been explosive. With the storm expected to approach the island coast within 24 hours, officials are delivering a final and stark warning to residents to protect life.
