Christian Bale's mission to keep foster siblings togetherNew Foto - Christian Bale's mission to keep foster siblings together

Christian Bale may have played a superhero in the "Batman" franchise, but now he's on a real life mission to help some kids who could really use a hero. And for Bale, it's the role of a lifetime. The Oscar-winning actor is helping to buildTogether California, a foster care home designed to keep orphaned siblings together, in the desert community of Palmdale, California. Someorganizationsestimate up to 75 percent of siblings end up living apart after entering foster care in the U.S. "And so you imagine the trauma of that, you know? But added trauma to being taken from your parents, and then you lose your siblings, you know, that's just something that we shouldn't be doing," Bale told "CBS Sunday Morning" correspondent Tracy Smith. "It just requires having a heart" Bale said you don't necessarily need to have any history with – or connection to – the foster care system in order to be moved to take action and offer help. "It just requires having a heart," said Bale, adding that it just takes the basic understanding that as a society we should be taking care of our children. The inspiration behind Bale's foster care work came 17 years ago when he looked at his young daughter and imagined her without parents. He began to look into foster care and found Tim McCormick, who ran foster homes in Chicago for decades. Bale recruited McCormick to help him open Together California, a village in Los Angeles that houses groups of foster siblings. The siblings can stay together in individual houses around a central garden, where they're cared for by trained foster parents whose only job will be to look after them. "This is what this site is about. We create a place for authentic goodness to flourish. And it certainly impacts a child, but it impacts all of us. We create a different story of us as a society," Bale said. Bringing a vision to life Architects at AC Marin are helping bring Bale's vision to life,breaking ground on the construction sitein February 2024. While it's one of their smaller architectural projects, AC Martin CEO Tom Hsieh says it's one of their biggest priorities. "I think we're at a point in our society where we have to help. And for me – you know, as exciting as creating the next high rise, we need to give back to society and community. This is small but I'm tremendously proud of this project," Hsieh told "CBS Sunday Morning." Right now, the village is still a construction site, but Bale says it already paints a picture. "I love designing. I love architecture," Bale said. "So I adore the whole design process. And so actually seeing it really – coming to happen is just very, very exciting." There's still a long road ahead. They need to continue to fundraise and find the right foster parents, but it's finally starting to take shape. They're hoping to welcome the first kids early next year. Bale has received numerous accolades throughout his career, but he says opening this center to keep foster siblings together will be among his greatest accomplishments. "This is something that when, you know, I'm closing my eyes for the last time. I wanna look and say...think about,'Did I do some good? Did I make any changes in the world that were useful?'And this will be one of the things that I'll be most proud of when I, you know, draw my last breath," he said.

'SNL' cold open mocks Trump's Middle East trip, Qatar jet 'pre-bribe'New Foto - 'SNL' cold open mocks Trump's Middle East trip, Qatar jet 'pre-bribe'

A landmark season of"Saturday Night Live"is in the books. The Season 50 finale of "SNL" kicked off with a spoof ofPresident Donald Trump's recent trip to the Middle East. Joined bySaudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman(played by Emil Wakim), Trump (James Austin Johnson) declared that he has been having a fantastic week. "I didn't make this trip for myself, I want to make that clear," he said. "I did this for the American people. And, in many ways, myself, my personal enrichment. I did that, too. I did very well on this trip. Got a lot of cool stuff." Johnson's Trump denied thata luxury jet offered to himby Qatar's royal family is a bribe "because they haven't asked for anything in return," though bin Salman quickly interjected, "Well, not yet." Johnson's Trump conceded, "All right, so it's a pre-bribe." 'SNL' Season 50 finale:Michael Che apologizes to Scarlett Johansson for crude 'Weekend Update' joke swap He also noted "I don't think I saw a single woman" on his Middle East trip. "The women are all hiding. It's like a nation of Melanias." But the end of the cold open got seriously meta, with Johnson's Trump saying he can't "stay in this sketch much longer" before walking out into the audience to speak to the camera about the "SNL" finale. "After tonight, you won't be seeing me here for a while," he said. "Well, not the fake, fun version of me that makes you smile. The real one will still be omnipresent. You can't escape me, right? I'm everywhere." He concluded, "See you again in the fall, if we still have a country, right? It's a coin toss."

That still hasn't been confirmed, but host Scarlett Johansson's monologue had fun with the rumors and speculation. The "Jurassic World Rebirth" star brought the cast out to join her in a parody of Billy Joel's "Piano Man," with the lyrics rewritten to be about the "SNL" finale. "It lasted forever, we did it together, and we got to spend it with you," Johansson and the cast sang. "It's been a great season, and Sarah is leaving," Johansson also sang, referring toSarah Sherman, before the rest of the cast joined in, "We're all going to miss you next year." But Sherman, who is not known to be leaving the show, jokingly acted distraught, asking, "Wait, what? Did you guys hear something? What do you mean leaving?" Thank you, Scarlett Johansson, Bad Bunny, Mike Myers, and RaiNao! Goodnight!pic.twitter.com/fTy9bl5fN9 — Saturday Night Live - SNL (@nbcsnl)May 18, 2025 Some fans had speculatedColin Jostcould be leaving the show after the Season 50 finale, or perhaps getting a promotion that would take him off of "Weekend Update." Nothing was confirmed during the episode, which ended with a sweet moment between Johansson and Jost, who are married and have a young son together. As Johansson was saying goodnight at the end of the show, Jost walked out and handed her flowers before the two shared a kiss.

Austria Wins 2025 Eurovision Song Contest; Singer JJ's Emotional 'Wasted Love' Brought Victory Over Israel and EstoniaNew Foto - Austria Wins 2025 Eurovision Song Contest; Singer JJ's Emotional 'Wasted Love' Brought Victory Over Israel and Estonia

Austria has won the 69th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. The country's 24-year-old entrant — Johannes Pietsch, known as JJ — won the total cumulative votes from the public and judges with his emotional song "Wasted Love," walking away with 436 points. More from Variety Eurovision Song Contest 2025 Livestream: How to Watch the Three-Day Music Event Live Online Eurovision: U.K. Picks Girl Group Remember Monday for 2025 Contest With 'What The Hell Just Happened?' Eurovision Introduces Official Code of Conduct for First Time to 'Protect' Artists, Competition: 'We Show How the World Could Be, Rather Than How It Necessarily Is' (EXCLUSIVE) Last year's winner, nonbinary Swiss singer Nemo, was also 24 when they won. Accepting his trophy after the four-hour show, the queer countertenor singer repeatedly thanked Europe for "making my dreams come true." Waving the glass trophy, JJ shared with the crowd, "Love is the strongest force in the world. Let's spread more love." Austria won the 2025 contest by narrowly tipping over Israel, which finished in second place with 357 points and was represented by Yuval Raphael and her ballad "New Day Will Rise." The singer looked like the strongest candidate to win, as public votes were being announced until the last minute. Both Switzerland and the UK got zero public votes. This was the UK's second year in a row with zero points from the public, finishing at 19th place with 88 votes from the judges — just one below Olly Alexander last year. The UK was represented by female trio Remember Monday with their song "What the Hell Just Happened?" this year. Estonian entry Tommy Cash came in third with 356 points, followed by Swedish KAJ, the first Finnish act to represent Sweden at the Eurovision, with 321 points, and Italy's Lucio Corsi with 256 points. This year's contest brought Eurovision back to the country where it first began: Switzerland. The event took place in St. Jakobshalle Arena in Basel. The show was hosted by German-Swiss comedian Hazel Brugger, Swiss presenter and Switzerland's 1991 Eurovision participant Sandra Studer and Swiss-Italian TV personality Michelle Hunziker. 26 countries performed at this year's grand finale, after 11 of the original 37 countries participating were knocked out in the semi-finals. The contest was hosted in Switzerland 36 years after it last hosted the program, when Celine Dion famously won in 1988 as the Swiss entrant. Reported to be in the city by multiple news outlets, including the BBC, many were confident Dion would make a surprise guest appearance, but no such performance took place. Instead, event co-host Sandra Studer sang a rendition of her entry song from the 1991 contest, "Canzone Per Te", and the arena, lit in hot pink lights, sang along to ABBA's "Waterloo" before the last contestants in the grand finale performed. The show was opened by an electric performance of the song "Code" by last year's winner, Swiss singer Nemo.

We're still a few days away from the Palme d'Or, the highest prize awarded each year by the Cannes Film Festival, but the annual French Riviera gathering was made all the more golden on Saturday night thanks to theVarietyand Golden Globes Breakthrough Artists Party. Continuing its tradition of teaming up at global film festivals, the 120-year-old publication and awards body hosted a slew of talent and creatives to mark another year of excellence with Bulova, luxury watchmaker and sponsor. More from Variety Variety and the Golden Globes Announce Vanguard, Creative Impact and Breakthrough Awards Honorees Tessa Thompson to Present First-Ever Cannes Golden Globe Prize for Documentary (EXCLUSIVE) Golden Globes' New Best Podcast Category Draws Applause - and Anxiety - From Creators and Industry Paul Mescal, Micheal Ward, Diane Kruger, new Wes Anderson muse Mia Threapleton, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Zoey Deutch, Jeremy O. Harris, director Ari Aster and more turned up at the glamorous Lucia Beach off the Croisette to celebrate. A gnocchi bar and endless flowing champagne greeted revelers hustling around the historic city from the night's big premiere — Jennifer Lawrence's "Die My Love" — and other soirees.Varietyco-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh hosted the event with Golden Globes president Helen Hoehne. Kicking off the honors was Mescal, who admitted that "anyone who knows me remotely well will know that I have a deep discomfort with public speaking. When Jeremy asked me to do this, I was ecstatic." Presenting the 12-time Tony nominee of "Slave Play" with the Indie Film Icon Award, Harris was feted by Mescal as one whose "loyalty extends wildly into his craft… I think it's wonderfully apt that that he's been recognized for his cultural impact. Jeremy, to me,isthe culture broadly and forever will be that." Harris accepted his trophy in a sweet but fiery speech. "To me, what means being an impactful person at this moment is focusing on your community," he said. "The National Endowment of arts literally does not exist anymore. People are giving their grants back. Every major studio is becoming a conglomerate that's like indebted to someone in Silicon Valley that's going to have AI find our community, build with them and do more." Harris called on everyone in the room to find and fund creatives. Next, director Aster toasted his own up-and-coming "Eddington" star Ward with the Breakthrough Artist award. "It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to make a film, let alone put something like this on. I feel truly inspired by all the young actors coming through, breaking down the door and really doing their thing," he said. Kruger stunned in a black cocktail dress, also handing a Breakthrough Artist prize to Threapleton (who will debut Sunday night in Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme"), saying that in the film the young star is "not just holding your own with some of the biggest names in Hollywood, but standing out as one of the most exciting new talents around." Threapleton shared a diary entry from 12 years ago that she wrote as a teen, which read: "Watching 'Moonrise Kingdom' again, bloody love this film. Would love to work with Wes Anderson one day." "It sort of happened," she added. Finally, Gainsbourg accepted the Vanguard Award for a career of exquisite, boundary-pushing work. The "Melancholia" star is an eight-time César nominee, two-time César winner, three-time European Film Award nominee and Cannes best actress winner. She recalled her first time at the festival "many years ago, I was very confused and very shy. [I thought] this was not my place." Flash forward, and Gainsbourg was back at the Grand Palais theater with Lars Von Trier's haunting 2009 film "Antichrist." The actor said she was "felt so brave with Lars transgressing with his art. So, thank you, Lars, from the bottom of my heart." Giansbourgh is currently starring in the Amazon Prime series "Ètoile."
