Episode Details

Riz Ahmed just dropped Hollywood’s sweetest secret: he’s on Tom Cruise’s exclusive coconut cake list — and it’s not just any cake, it’s Doan’s Bakery’s holiday treat reserved for a few lucky souls. Though he’s not usually a fan of coconut, this cake changed his mind — and he’s hoping to get a bigger slice this year, especially since he’s starring alongside Cruise in their new movie. Working with Cruise has been eye-opening for Ahmed, who found the actor’s relentless positivity both invigorating and oddly foreign from his British roots. He also reflected on his Emmy win, crediting his mom’s presence at the ceremony as a reminder that family matters more than any award. Meanwhile, this year’s Emmys red carpet dazzled with Zendaya in Prada, Selena Gomez in Louis Vuitton, and stars like Ayo Edebiri, Nicole Kidman, and Florence Pugh turning heads with bold fashion choices.
