 Stephen Baldwin claims he was fired from rom-com for being 'funnier' than Jennifer Aniston Stephen Baldwin recently revealed that he was originally cast in the 1998 romantic comedy The Object of My Affection but was dismissed early in production. On his podcast One Bad Movie, Baldwin explained he had been chosen to play Vince McBride, the boyfriend of Jennifer Aniston’s character Nina Borowski.  However, after just two days on set, a producer told him there was a “problem”  specifically, that he was “funnier than Jennifer,” which they felt undermined the film’s dynamic. Baldwin described the criticism as both shocking and humiliating, likening it to being “mauled in the face by a wolverine.” He said he tried to tone down his comedic delivery but was ultimately cut from the project and told to go home.  The role eventually went to actor John Pankow, while Aniston starred opposite Paul Rudd, who played her gay roommate George.

JAPAN’S H3 ROCKET RETURNS TO FLIGHT WITH SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF NEW LOW-COST VARIANT AFTER EARLIER SETBACKS. (PHOTO).



Japan’s H3 rocket returns to flight with successful launch of new low-cost variant after earlier setbacks


Japan’s H3 rocket has successfully returned to flight, marking an important milestone for the country’s next-generation space program with the debut of a new lower-cost configuration designed to improve competitiveness in the global launch market.

The rocket lifted off Friday morning from the Tanegashima Space Center on a southwestern Japanese island, with its second stage reaching the intended orbit, according to Japan’s space agency during a live broadcast.

Six small satellites built by universities and other organizations were also deployed and are believed to have separated successfully.

The mission introduced the H3’s new “30 configuration,” which uses three liquid-fuel LE-9 engines and no solid rocket boosters. The design is intended to reduce launch costs and is one of several planned variants aimed at serving different customer requirements.

The successful flight marks the sixth overall success for the H3 program, which has experienced a difficult development path following two earlier failures. The rocket replaces the long-serving H-2A, which maintained an almost flawless record over its operational life.

The H3 is being developed as a more cost-efficient alternative in a global launch market increasingly dominated by commercial providers such as SpaceX, with Japan viewing reliable and affordable launch capability as a key element of both its space ambitions and national security strategy.

The program’s early development included a failed 2023 debut flight in which the second-stage engine failed to ignite, followed by another mission in which a navigation satellite failed to reach its intended orbit due to a second-stage malfunction. The system had been grounded since the most recent failure until this successful return to flight.

A further setback would have posed a significant challenge to Japan’s long-term space plans, including future deep space missions. A separate small rocket program has also faced delays following a failed test.

Program developers hope the H3 will eventually support between six and eight launches per year as it moves toward more regular commercial operations.
