There's something for everyone in movie theaters this fall. The calendar is jam-packed with romance, spectacle, and jaw-dropping true life stories.

Some of our most familiar franchises take bold leaps into undiscovered areas of their universes: Marvel side-steps into the metaphysical with the Benedict Cumberbatch-led "Doctor Strange" (Nov. 4), and J.K.

Rihanna Launches New Fashion Collection for Puma

Rihanna says her new collection for Puma was inspired by Japanese street culture.

The pop star launched the autumn/winter 2016 Fenty Puma by Rihanna line on Tuesday at Foot Locker in New York City.

She says she remembers exploring fashion during her first trip to Japan years ago and leaving in awe.

Her edgy collection, mostly in black and white, includes loose sweaters and pants, dresses, skirts, sneakers and sneaker heels.

Fans screamed as Rihanna entered the venue, singing her songs that played in the background. She says she designed the line for her feverish fans.

Dwayne Johnson Tops Forbes List of Highest-Paid Actors

Dwayne Johnson elbowed Robert Downey Jr. aside to become the highest-paid actor with a fast and furious income of $64.5 million, according to Forbes magazine.

The former wrestler beat out Jackie Chan with $61 million and Matt Damon, who earned $55 million. The rest of the top five on the list, released Thursday, included Tom Cruise, with $53 million, and Johnny Depp, with $48 million.

What's more, the top guys make more money than the top ladies. Forbes' list of the highest-paid actresses, released earlier this week, put Jennifer Lawrence on top with $46 million, Melissa McCarthy with $33 million, and Scarlett Johansson with $25 million.

All the data is from between June 1, 2015, and June 1, 2016, before fees and taxes.
