Oscar-winning actress Shirley MacLaine has officially committed to attend the Cinema Arts Festival, confirming a story that was first reported on CultureMap earlier this week. MacLaine will screen Terms of Endearment, for which she won Best Actress, Nov. 13 at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
The film about a mother and daughter's tumultuous relationship(s) won five Academy Awards and features scenes in Houston's historic Brennan's restaurant as well as in River Oaks and The Heights. While here, MacLaine will receive the 2010 Film Award — created to honor a classic film shot in Texas or an artist who has made significant contributions to film in the state.
MacLaine needn't go far for her appearance in Houston. She's currently filming Bernie with director Richard Linklater in Austin.
The Cinema Arts Festival will be held Nov. 10-14 at Houston Visitors Center, Discovery Green, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Rice Media Center and Edwards Greenway Grand Palace Stadium 24. The event is the only festival in the United States devoted solely to films by and about visual, performing and literary artists.
A$AP Rocky will perform at the Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday, June 20.
Fresh off an appearance as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, rapper/aspiring actor A$AP Rocky will go on the road with his 2026 Don’t Be Dumb World Tour, which will include a stop at the Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday, June 20.
The 42-date tour will start in Chicago on May 27, with the 25-city North American leg lasting through July 11.
There will be three Texas stops in the middle — Houston will follow Dallas on June 18 and Austin on June 19.
The tour is named after A$AP Rocky's new album, Don’t Be Dumb, his first full-length release in eight years.
Rocky's first two albums went to No. 1 on Billboard's overall 200, R&B/Hip Hop, and Rap charts, while 2018's Testing took a slight step back, still finishing in the top five of all three.
The rapper gained big notice as an actor in 2025, co-starring in two A24-produced films - Highest 2 Lowest, directed by Spike Lee, and the Golden Globe-winning If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.
Rocky's appearance on SNL included a cameo in a sketch alongside host Finn Wolfhard, as well as him performing “Punk Rocky” and a medley of the album’s title track and “Helicopter$."
Rocky also served as co-chair of the 2025 Met Gala, was announced as the creative director for Ray-Ban, and was appointed as Chanel’s new house ambassador.
