Movie fans woke up to some sad news on Wednesday, as the passing of actor Val Kilmer was announced by his daughter Mercedes. The former Batman and Top Gun star died at age 65 after a bout of pneumonia. In 2014, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, an illness he would eventually overcome. As movie fans, Stephen, Hugh, and Shannell all had fond memories to share of Kilmer’s decades-long career on the big screen.

Besides his role as Iceman in Top Gun, Kilmer was inarguably best known for playing the caped crusader in Batman Forever, alongside Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, and Nicole Kidman. In fact, he was Stephen’s favourite actor to don the cape and cowl. Any time that the Dark Knight is brought up, it is inevitably followed by a debate about which actor has been the best in the role over the years. According to OZFM listeners, 80’s Batman Michael Keaton was a crowd-pleaser and Shannell’s choice, as well as the edgier Christian Bale of Batman Begins. Hugh brought up the late Kevin Conroy, who gave life to Batman in animated features and video games for the better part of three decades.

Stephen and Shannell on OZ Mornings had some difficulty envisioning Paris Hilton and her trademark vocal fry delivering some stereotypical true crime cliches.

Jon Bon Jovi helped stop a woman from jumping off a bridge in Nashville on Tuesday. While filming a music video on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge at 6:00 p.m., Bon Jovi noticed a woman on the brink of jumping. Alongside another pedestrian, he successfully talked her out of it and guided her back to safety over the railing.

Emergency responders arrived at the scene and commended Bon Jovi for his intervention. Nashville PD Chief John Drake emphasized, “It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” in response to the incident. TMZ further highlighted that Bon Jovi, through his JBJ Soul Foundation, has received training in assisting individuals facing crises.

While those singalongs were taking place, more details emerged about the terror plot associated with those Vienna shows. The chief suspect is a 19-year-old Austrian citizen who has now fully confessed to attack plans during an interrogation. In a news conference, Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, the head of Austria’s Directorate of State Security and Intelligence, said the suspect was “clearly radicalized in the direction of the Islamic State” and fully intended to kill himself and “as many people as possible” outside the concert venue using knives and homemade explosives.

Twilight star Taylor Lautner has revealed the proper way to pronounce his last name. On a recent episode of the Unplanned podcast, he said, “It is my fault that nobody knows how it’s actually pronounced because I never corrected anybody for decades. It is technically Lowt-ner.” He added, “I just never, in interviews or anything, stopped somebody and said, ‘It’s not Lawt-ner. It’s Lowt-ner.’ Just go with whatever.”

Jamie Foxx tweeted on Sunday night for the first time since he was hospitalized for a “medical complication” in April. This comes after TMZ spotted the Ray actor smiling on top of a boat on the Chicago River and waving to fans.

“Boat life,” Foxx wrote, adding a fox emoji. “Celebrating summer with @brownsugarbbn Stay blessed!”
