A major car maker has announced bad news in the billions of dollars.

General Motors believes the tariffs “will cost General Motors between $4 billion and $5 billion this year,” according to CNN.

But that doesn’t mean that car buyers will feel the sting of it.

“We believe …pricing is going to stay at about the same level as it is,” CEO Mary Barra told CNN’s Erin Burnett on May 1, 2025, although she added, “Pricing changes in our industry at least monthly, and sometimes more frequently. We’re going to respond to the market.”

The “lower profit target” was announced in a letter to shareholders as the company, and many others, try to impart realistic guidance on tariffs impact as they grapple with a volatile landscape, CNN reported.

According to CNN, GM is “the largest American automaker” with sales in the United States of 2.7 million cars and trucks, which has kept the company “very profitable,” with “record net income of nearly $12 billion in 2024, excluding special items.”

In addition, GM affects “1 million US workers,” who work as “employees, suppliers or dealers,” CNN reported.

General Motors manufactures some of the most iconic American cars and trucks, including Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac, according to its website.

Bloomberg reported that GM is freezing a “share buyback” due to the tariffs.

Barra told shareholders that the company continues to have an open dialogue on tariffs.

“There are ongoing discussions with key trade partners that may also have an impact,” she wrote, according to Reuters. Yet GM cut its profit forecast, Reuters confirmed, due to the tariff concerns.

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas dating rumors are alive and well. The two actors arrived in London together on April 29 — just one day before de Armas’ 37th birthday. 

According to photos published by TMZ, Cruise and de Armas were dressed casually as they collected their items from the chopper and headed to their next destination.

The pair has been seen together a handful of times this year, with dating rumors growing each sighting. After being seen together around Valentine’s Day, a source told People magazine that there was nothing romantic going on, despite how things may seem.

“[They were] discussing potential collaborations down the line,” the source told the outlet, adding that the pair “appeared to have no romantic connection, just friends.”

“Tom looked happy as fans approached him for photos, and the group later took home leftovers,” the insider continued.

However, this time around, a source told People that the two were “maybe” celebrating de Armas’ birthday together. 

Cruise has been keeping busy outside of his “maybe”-romance with de Armas. He’s prepping for the release of his highly anticipated new movie, Mission Impossible —The Final Reckoning, which is set to hit theaters on May 23.

In an interview with People magazine that was published on May 1, Cruise, 62, discussed the stunts he did for the film. 

“Everyone will think we did some on green screen on the ground. I guarantee there was not one single shot that was not on a plane flying for real,” he said.

U.S. travel is down in 2025, to the point where airlines are having to regroup and cancel flights that were once scheduled to take off this year. While multiple U.S. airlines have expressed their concerns about having to lower the number of domestic flights available for the upcoming summer season, it’s not just domestic airlines.

Over the past few months, both tourist and business travel from Canada to the U.S. have fallen. According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, at the U.S. and Canada border decreased by 12.5% in February and 18% in March, per The Street.

Now, Air Canada is cutting down on San Francisco routes, and this follows earlier cuts to Washington and Miami. According to The Street, Air Canada “has already reduced its flight schedule to the U.S. amid lower demand,” with affected routes including “flights to Washington, Houston and Miami from Vancouver International Airport.”

“If we can de-risk this a little bit and move and be a bit proactive and move capacity into other sectors [where] we see strength, I think that’s the right move right now in this context,” Mark Galardo, Air Canada’s executive vice presidency, revenue and network planning and president of cargo, told investors in March, per The Street.

Canadian airline WestJet has also canceled the start of a new, non-stop flight between Austin and Vancouver, due to a “downward shift in demand” for travel going between the United States and Canada, according to Open Jaw. The YVR-AUS route was scheduled to start May 11 and, according to Texas television station KXAN reports.

A WestJet spokesperson told KXAN, “Due to a downward shift in demand for U.S. travel, WestJet has made the difficult decision to suspend scheduled direct service between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Austin, Texas.”

WestJet added that they will “review opportunities” to offer service on the Vancouver-Austin route in the future.

LeBron James was asked point-blank whether he is planning to retire.

James responded to the retirement question after the Los Angeles Lakers lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs on April 30, 2025.

“I don’t know,” James told reporters, according to ESPN. “I don’t have an answer to that. Something I’ll sit down with my family, my wife and my support group and kind of just talk through it and see what happens. And just have a conversation with myself on how long I want to continue to play.”

James was asked, “How much longer he planned to play before retiring,” ESPN reported.

“I don’t know the answer to that right now, to be honest. So we’ll see,” he added.

According to ESPN, the season didn’t end well for James. Not only did the Lakers lose, but he “limped out” of the arena, “his left leg swollen from a knee-to-knee collision,” the site reported.

James could return to the Lakers next year via a player option worth $52.6 million, The Sporting News reported. He would become a free agent if he doesn’t opt in by June 29, according to that site.

According to DraftKings Network, James made it clear that he wanted to play with his son Bronny, but now that he’s accomplished that, many are wondering whether he will finally retire.

James has played “a whopping 71,063 career minutes, ” including the postseason, according to Draft Kings.

“Just continuing to play, I don’t know where I’m at,” James told ESPN. “That’s what that is. Not coming back to play here. Just playing, period.”

On April 30, the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Chicago Cubs took the field at PNC Park for a regular season match up. During the seventh inning, a fan sitting in the outfield bleachers tumbled from his seat onto the field. According to TMZ, the fall was about 20 feet.

In terrifying video shared by fans on social media, a man can be seen flipping over a few times before landing on the warning track. Within minutes, emergency personnel surrounded the man, whose body laid still on the ground. He was placed on a stretcher and transported to a nearby hospital. Both teams looked on in complete shock.

Fans have reacted to the videos on social media.

“That dude #launched up. At one point has his foot on the railing it appears, as if bracing his body weight for a jump onto the field. Maybe was leaning over, or extra excited and slipped — but all of it looks extremely irregular. Prayers with him. All the way, regardless,” one person commented on a the video shared from the game.

“I’ve seen people fall, that didn’t look like a fall…dude looked like he was ejected from his seat,” someone else said.

“Tonight, during the seventh inning of the game at PNC Park, an adult male fell from the right field bleachers onto the field of play,” the Pirates said in a statement posted on X. “Pittsburgh EMS, as well as the Pirates and Cubs athletic training teams and other PNC Park personnel reacted and responded immediately and administered care. He was transported to Allegheny General Hospital. No further information is available at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family,” the team’s official statement continued.

Apple’s earnings report on May 1, 2025, is being closely watched by nervous investors.

MarketWatch noted that Apple usually announces how much cash it will give back to shareholders in its second-quarter earnings report.

Other major companies announcing earnings reports on May 1 are Amazon, Mastercard, McDonald’s, and CVS Health, according to Yahoo Finance.

Investors will be scrutinizing the companies’ statements on tariff impact, in particular.

According to Yahoo Finance, investors expect the earnings call for Apple’s second quarter to focus on “supply chain” issues due to tariffs.

This has been a “challenging quarter for the company as it faces headwinds from tariffs and mounting competition from China,” Yahoo Finance reported.

AI is also a concern, according to Barrons, which reported that analysts surveyed by FactSet expect Apple to post “adjusted earnings of $1.62 a share on revenue of $94.4 billion. That would be an increase from last year’s earnings of $1.53 a share on revenue of $90.8 billion.”

Apple previously announced that it may shift production of iPhones from China to India by 2026, according to Reuters.

Apple “will be reporting its Q2 2025 earnings on May 1,” around 5 p.m. Eastern time in a ” standard analyst and investor conference call,” according to Apple Insider.

As tariffs hit, Apple airlifted 600 tons of iPhones from India to the U.S., Reuters reported.

According to MarketWatch, the stock price will be closely watched to see if it stays “over its critical threshold of $200.”

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick “has expressed a desire to see phones made domestically,” but investors don’t believe that’s “viable” for Apple, MarketWatch reported. How Apple responds to such concerns could dominate reaction to the May 1 earnings call.

A series of CEOS in recent weeks, including the CEOS of major retailers like Walmart and Target and the makers of household products, cars, soda, and other items have raised concern about the looming impact of tariffs.

Robert De Niro shared powerful words of “love and support” for his daughter, Airyn, after she came out as transgender during an interview with Them published on April 29.

During the sit down, Airyn De Niro talked about growing up as one of De Niro’s seven children, whom he shares with ex-wife Grace Hightower, and how that upbringing has guided her as she “step[s] into this new identity.” “There’s a difference between being visible and being seen,” Airyn clarified. “I’ve been visible. I don’t think I’ve been seen yet.”

Airyn continued: “No parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight. They have told me they wanted me to have as much of a normal childhood as possible.”

Following the publication of Airyn’s interview, her father issued a statement to several outlets (including Variety) voicing his unequivocal support. “I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter,” the Oscar-winning actor said. “I don’t know what the big deal is,” De Niro added. “I love all my children.”

Airyn said she was inspired to come out after seeing actors such as Laverne Cox go on to achieve success after doing the same. She was inspired by “trans women being honest and open, especially [in] public spaces like social media and getting to see them in their success.”

“I’m like, ‘You know what? Maybe it’s not too late for me,’” Airyn said.

After the interview was published, she took to Instagram to thank her legion of supporters. “Thank you to everyone who’s been so sweet and supportive! I’m not used to all these eyes on me,” she wrote. “Also for the folks asking if I have representation or signed to anyone, I am literally just a girl with a phone, so sorry if I miss your messages!”

Thunderbolts* star Florence Pugh didn’t mince words in a new interview with Who What Wear when asked about unfair expectations on actors who are expected to be model-perfect on the red carpet runway.

Pugh was asked by the outlet how it feels to have started her career at the point where she was allowed to build credits without the pressure of social media. Now, it’s hard for many actors — even established ones such as Pugh — to get auditions for big Hollywood projects if they don’t have a certain number of followers on social media.

“It’s so s–t,” Pugh said without missing a beat. “It’s not the same thing. It’s not the same thing at all. I had this conversation recently with a friend…It’s just mental that red carpets are even an [expectation] of someone that is not [a model]…That’s not even their job,” she continued.

“They don’t model. They are good at being on a camera that is this close with that face, and they know how to show how raw their soul is on the flick of a switch,” Pugh reasoned. “That’s their talent. Their talent isn’t anything beyond that. I mean, it might be, but that’s what they’re getting paid to do, and that’s what we recognize them for. And you’re supposed to be able to be like a runway model, and you’re compared against runway models.”

Pugh explained that it was initially difficult for her to advocate for herself in those situations, but with practice she’s become more adept at speaking her mind. “Once you do, you know, shoot after shoot after shoot, you get better, and you get more confidence,” she said. “You see the pictures, and you see the work, and you’re like, ‘Okay, that looks great. I’m going to now make sure that I know how to argue when a certain piece of clothing isn’t working.’”

Pugh concluded: “If I’m disappointed about how something turned out or looked or if someone’s saying something nasty about the dress that I was wearing or if I was a bit too heavy for the dress or a bit too this or that or whatever s–t someone wanted to say to me, I have to be like, ‘Babe, this is not even why you’re [here]…This is not your job.’”

Thunderbolts* is currently in cinemas. You can check out a trailer below.
