Reading Time: 2 minutes Brian Hickerson is speaking out following the sudden death of his on-and-off girlfriend, Hayden Panettiere. Hickerson’s attorney, Sloan Ellis, issued a brief statement Thursday as questions continue to surround the actress’ death at age 36. “Hayden’s death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed,” Ellis told TMZ.

(Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images) Ellis went on to stress that there is no indication that foul play factored into Hayden’s death. “As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play,” he continued, adding: “Out of respect for Hayden’s loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time.” Panettiere was found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday, August 16. First responders attempted to revive the actress, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. A police report subsequently confirmed that Hickerson and his brother, Zach, were at the residence when emergency personnel arrived. According to the report, Hickerson showed police a bag containing medications Panettiere had been taking. Authorities have stressed that the investigation remains ongoing. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office previously said an autopsy found no signs of trauma that contributed to Panettiere’s death, while her official cause and manner of death remain pending additional investigation and testing. Hickerson and Panettiere had a complicated history. The pair began dating in 2018 and endured multiple breakups and reconciliations. Their relationship also included allegations of domestic violence, with Hickerson pleading no contest to felony charges involving Panettiere in 2021. Earlier this week, police visited Hickerson’s family home as part of a probe to determine if criminal conduct played a role in Hayden’s death. Now, as investigators work to determine exactly what happened to the beloved actress, Hickerson is asking the public to let them do their job. For now, he says there will be no more comments from his side. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 3 minutes With the shocking news of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s UK move, next comes the big question: Why? Many people initially assumed that this means dire news for King Charles’ health, especially after Camilla’s recent remarks. But there could be another reason. Are the duke and duchess fleeing from Donald Trump? Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex arrive ahead of their visit to the Royal Childrenâs Hospital on April 14, 2026. (Photo Credit: Asanka Ratnayake/Getty Images) Why are Harry and Meghan moving back to the UK? Just last month, Prince Harry returned to the United Kingdom with his family in tow. He and his family spent quality time with Charles. They visited the ancestral home of his late mother, Princess Diana. Harry was already expected to return to Britain in September for a children’s charity — one that he has supported for over 20 years. And, of course, for events tied to the Invictus Games. Now, news has broken that Harry and Meghan are preparing to leave their idyllic lives in Montecito, California and return to their homeland. Perhaps this really is about family — giving their children time and memories with their grandfather before he is gone. But maybe this is about getting away from the rot that threatens to destroy the United States from within. In January 2026, Donald Trump baselessly claimed that NATO allies had “stayed a little back” from the front lines in Afghanistan. Prince Harry actually served in Afghanistan (and famously so). He pushed back at the time, noting that he “made lifelong friends” and also “lost friends” during the war. (At that time, Trump felt frustrated that NATO allies would not simply give him Greenland. His mad king behavior has been getting worse and worse.) “Boy, what she’s done to that guy,” Trump would later vaguely gripe, referring to Meghan Markle in May. Trump reacts with fury to any criticism, but covets fawning attention from famous people. This has left him incredibly frustrated since his rise to power a decade ago — and prompted him to react with whining and complaining when people accurately describe his tyrannical behavior. ‘They are moving back to Britain because they don’t like President Trump’ When People reported on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s plans to cross the Atlantic, the potential political angle initially avoided notice. However, it was not long before folks on social media began to take notice. America’s very own Magda Goebbels, Katie Miller tweeted a screenshot of a portion of the article. “…They have made no secret of their disillusionment with the current White House,” the segment reads. “With the midterm elections fast approaching, concerns about the direction of the U.S. loom large for many….” Miller then accused: “They are moving back to Britain because they don’t like President Trump.” She also baselessly claimed that the millionaire couple are “broke.” Quote-tweeting an article about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, white nationalist podcaster Katie Miller claimed that the two were fleeing to the UK to avoid Donald Trump. (Image Credit: Twitter) Many election cycles see people pledging to move to another country if a specific politician becomes president. Only in rare cases do they follow through. Moving to a new country is expensive, time-consuming, emotionally loaded, and hardly automatic. Obtaining a visa, let alone the equivalent of a green card, is often daunting or even impossible. Besides, most people decide to wait out what’s likely to be four years. This time, it’s different. Some folks, particularly communities of color and LGBTQ+ Americans, are having to move between states and, in some countries, leave as refugees fleeing persecution. Not everyone. But as the Trump regime continues, it’s likely to only get worse. But Harry and Meghan are rich, famous, and live in California. If this insulation weren’t enough, they could probably just move to Canada without much of an issue. Canada, however, is not any closer to ailing King Charles. Thus the widespread belief that they are moving to spend more time with him before he takes the crown.

Reading Time: 2 minutes The murder trial of Lindsay Clancy has been captivating the nation for several weeks now. And as the defense makes its case, Clancy — who admitted to killing her three young children in 2023 — is receiving a surprising surge of support. Hundreds of women gathered outside the Massachusetts courthouse where Clancy is on trial, many of them wearing pink and carrying signs with messages including “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay.” A runner jogs past the John Joseph Moakley United States Courthouse January 4, 2015 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images) The rally was the largest public show of support for Clancy since her murder trial began. For many of those attending, however, the gathering was about more than Clancy herself. Supporters said they wanted to call attention to what they see as failures in the mental health system, particularly when women seek treatment for postpartum mental illness. “Women are being dismissed, neglected and ignored when we speak up,” supporter April Vincent told the Associated Press. “We’re scared because nobody takes us seriously.” Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, does not dispute that his client killed her children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan. Instead, he argues that she was suffering from severe mental illness, including postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, and should not be held criminally responsible. The defense has argued that Clancy repeatedly sought help before the January 2023 killings. She reportedly saw multiple mental health providers, took medication, called a suicide hotline, visited an emergency room, and admitted herself to a psychiatric hospital. Prosecutors have presented a very different account. They allege Clancy deliberately planned the killings and sent her husband out of the house shortly before the children died. They have also questioned the seriousness of Clancy’s subsequent suicide attempt and presented testimony that she did not always take her prescribed medication. Outside the courthouse, supporters applauded Reddington when he appeared. Organizer Renee Kimball urged the crowd to trust the defense attorney, telling them that Reddington “has Lindsay’s fight.” The group later formed a circle, recited the Lord’s Prayer, and raised their arms to form hearts with their hands. Inside the courtroom, hospital chaplain Sheila Cavanaugh provided emotional testimony about her more than 200 visits with Clancy following the killings. Cavanaugh recalled that Clancy appeared emotionally flat after regaining consciousness and told her, “I’m so glad my children are safe.” The chaplain also testified that Clancy described hearing a voice telling her that she and her children would not be safe unless she followed its commands. Clancy has pleaded not guilty to the murder charges. The case has thrust postpartum psychosis — a rare and severe condition — into the national spotlight. And for the women supporting Clancy outside the courthouse, the trial has become a broader fight over whether women suffering from serious postpartum mental illness are being heard before it’s too late. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Is Natalie Harp married? Officially an aide to Donald Trump with access to his phone and ear, something isn’t adding up in their relationship. It’s clear that she has a fawning and unhealthy obsession with Trump. But is she his mistress? Some reports suggest that the truth is more twisted than most had imagined. Natalie Harp attends a bill signing in the Oval Office of the White House on February 03, 2026. (Photo Credit: Alex Wong/Getty Images) Is Natalie Harp married? When Senator Jon Ossoff listed off just a few of Donald Trump’s inadequacies, two words ignited a particular firestorm. “He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie,” the Georgia Senator described. What happened next was a fiery explosion from within the right-wing media ecosystem, with everyone from members of the Trump family to pundits to podcasters practically frothing at the mouth over the mention of Natalie Harp. Officially, the 35-year-old blonde woman is some sort of assistant to Trump. She is essentially his shadow, penning his most rancid social media posts and printing a carefully curated supply of alleged good news. Unofficially, many struggle to understand this relationship. Is she Trump’s mistress? Is she married? Unearthed video: Trump aide Natalie Harp personally types out Trump’s Truth Social posts as he sits there rambling pic.twitter.com/6Bv7uUcNZk — Headquarters (@HQNewsNow) August 17, 2026 No, Natalie Harp is not married. In fact, there aren’t really any records of her prior to her entering Trump’s orbit. She was previously a reporter for far-right news site OANN. Famously, she also credited Trump for saving her life after he signed a law allowing people to try experimental treatments. (It’s true that she had bone cancer, but medical experts have said that the treatment that she apparently used was already accessible.) By all accounts, the only man of any importance in her life is Trump. And he seems to occupy not only her professional life, but her thoughts and emotions. Is she Donald Trump’s mistress? Some accused Senator Ossoff of claiming that Trump was having an extramarital affair with Natalie Harp. He neither said nor implied anything of the sort. Which calls into question why so many conservatives seemed to jump onto this same talking point. At this time, there is no evidence of any sexual relationship between the two. Even Natalie’s brother, Preston Harp, believes that it is not a physical attraction on her part — even though he is critical of his sister’s association with Trump and hopes that she comes to her senses soon. Still, this is a woman who writes emotional letters to Trump — apologizing for “embarrassing” him in public and openly gushing over him and signing them: “With all my heart, Natalie.” Unfortunately, the true explanation appears to be stranger and creepier than a sexual affair. What in the country fried fuck does this even mean [image or embed] — Russ Copeland (@rcopelander.bsky.social) August 19, 2026 at 9:52 PM According to a report from The Daily Beast, the fact that Natalie Harp is not married allows her to be Trump’s “higher purpose bride.” A Trump aide confided that her fawning adoration is part of “a Christian devotional relationship.” This sort of thing is basically unheard of in every other aspect of society. However, among the elite ranks of far right Christian nationalists, this is a known and familiar dynamic where she is effectively worshiping Trump. Trump values few things more than loyalty. Not loyalty to others — ask anyone whom he abandoned on the decoy plane last month. (Notably, he took Natalie with him.) Trump loves to be adored and appears to have lost touch with reality by surrounding himself with sycophants of this degree. By the way, right now, a “higher purpose bride” seems to be all that Trump has. Melania avoids Natalie at all costs, according to reports. Which, conveniently, means avoiding Trump.

Reading Time: 2 minutes In the aftermath of Hayden Panettiere’s tragic death, new information about the beloved actress’ battle with addiction continues to emerge. According to one new report, Hayden attempted to have alcohol and nitrous oxide cannisters (known as “whippits”) delivered to her room during a recent trip to Nashville. A source tells Page Six that Hayden made the trip as part of her promotional tour for her memoir. Actress Hayden Panettiere attends the 21st Annual Critics’ Choice Awards at Barker Hangar on January 17, 2016 in Santa Monica, California. (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images for The Critics’ Choice Awards) “She had alcohol and whippits delivered. They wouldn’t allow it up to her room,” the insider claimed. The source added that Panettiere was only “there for a day,” and she “wasn’t happy” that her items were not delivered. In her memoir, Hayden wrote extensively about her struggles with alcoholism. Nitrous oxide can be huffed for a brief high. Hayden’s publicist and friend Kasey Kitchen denies the allegation. “She was in Nashville for a short amount of time and slept for most of it. She also had private security with her,” Kitchen said. Two days prior to the Nashville trip, Kitchen appeared alongside Hayden during her interview with Tamron Hall. During the episode, Hayden spoke candidly about the toll alcohol had taken on her health. “When I got to the point of looking in the mirror and seeing my eyes had turned yellow, and that I didn’t recognize my body anymore and I went into that doctor’s office and got a blood test, and he told me ‘If you don’t stop, you’re going to be looking at a liver transplant,’” Panettiere explained. Hall replied: “So, you’re 30 years old, and the doctor’s telling you, ‘You’re 30 years old, Hayden. You will not live to see 35.'” “Yeah, [the doctor said], ‘If you do not stop immediately.’ And, I was like, ‘I can’t do that to me,’ and if I can’t do it for myself, I’m going to do it for my child,” Hayden said. Sadly, it now looks as though Panettiere later lost her battle with addiction. While no official cause of death has been revealed, Hayden’s emergency was described as a “possible overdose” in a 911 call. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Even before his disappearance over two months ago, Mitch McConnell was a shell of his former self. These days, some believe that he is so unwell that he is unable to return to the Senate. Others believe that McConnell is dead and that those in power are concealing his passing until the time is right. Footage of McConnell struggling to figure out how to vote on the Senate floor isn’t really encouraging. Take a look: Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) speaks during a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing in May 2026. (Photo Credit: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Mitch McConnell seemed lost and dazed on the Senate floor Unless you count dubious “proof of life” photos that do not actually prove anything, no one seems to have seen Senator McConnell in over two months. The Kentucky politician was hospitalized on June 14. Based upon eyewitness reports, he did not seem to be doing well as he was hauled away in an ambulance. Since then, extremely reasonable people have been asking for actual proof that he is alive and well. But it looks like, even before his hospitalization, McConnell was struggling to even go through the motions of serving his constituents. As TMZ has documented from CSPAN footage, McConnell appears to have been confused and disoriented on the Senate floor. Notably, this was in early June — 10 days prior to his hospitalization. The June 4th session involved Senators voting 29 times during an 18-hour span of time in what’s called a “vote-a-rama.” McConnell seemed to struggle with simple yes-or-no votes. As you can see in the video, everyone from McConnell’s chief of staff to a clerk to Senator Bernie Moreno seems to coach McConnell after he votes the opposite of the way that he presumably would have wanted to. An experienced Senator should be able to cast votes without guidance The video shows McConnell changing a vote after being “corrected” by others. It also shows people visually show him how to vote, as if he has forgotten and needs guidance. McConnell does seem to follow their, ah, helpful guidance. Later in the recording ,we can see McConnell sitting stationary for 6 hours while the Senators around him mill about. Look, perhaps he was patiently meditating. Or perhaps, however unlikely, he was high out of his mind on gummies. But most do not believe these innocuous explanations. McConnell has not been seen in public since June 14. We are now nearing the end of August. Even without the footage of him shuffling while seemingly disoriented, people suspected that his health event either caused such catastrophic damage that he can no longer feign wellness … or simply ended his life. Some even speculated that his alleged death might be announced in August — after the deadline to hold a special election to replace him had passed. As it stands, the people of Kentucky are down 50% of their Senate representation. And most folks do not expect to see McConnell again unless there is an open casket. Hey, maybe we’re all wrong. Perhaps he is really in a rehab facility regaining his tortoise strength and will return stronger than ever to the Senate. But we have to ask ourselves: what explanation is most likely?

Reading Time: 2 minutes Shia LaBeouf is apparently still hitting the bottle despite being on probation following his latest arrest. The troubled star admitted he’s drinking alcohol every day during a recent probation status hearing, according to a court document obtained by Complex. LaBeouf appeared without an attorney at the August 19 hearing and told officials he has been checking in with his probation officer. Shia LaBeouf poses during the “Slauson Rec” photocall at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 18, 2025 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images) He also provided documentation showing he plans to complete anger-management training and substance-abuse treatment by next month. But despite his past troubles with drinking, LaBeouf apparently isn’t steering clear of booze while completing those requirements! According to the document, the actor acknowledged drinking daily while also saying he had declined mental-health treatment. LaBeouf’s latest legal headache stems from a February incident at a New Orleans bar during Mardi Gras. Shia was accused of repeatedly punching a man outside the establishment before returning and allegedly becoming even more aggressive. Several people reportedly attempted to restrain him. After being allowed to get up in the hope that he would leave, LaBeouf allegedly struck the same man again before punching another man in the nose. The actor ultimately pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to two years of probation in June. At the time, LaBeouf’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, attempted to downplay the incident, calling it a “minor Mardi Gras bar tussle.” “The police and District Attorney’s investigation proved exactly what Shia LaBeouf said from the beginning — that this was nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle,” Chervinsky said. “There is no evidence it was about bias or prejudice, which is why the state only charged these low level misdemeanors. Mr. LaBeouf came to court today wanting to take accountability for his part in what happened, and he has done so.” Now, however, LaBeouf has another reason to take his probation seriously. His next hearing is scheduled for September 23, although he reportedly won’t be there because he’ll be filming a movie. And there’s a pretty serious consequence hanging over his head if he fails to complete his probation: six months behind bars. For now, LaBeouf appears to be balancing court-ordered treatment with a daily drinking habit — a combination that could make his road out of legal trouble considerably more complicated.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Back when Jessi Draper was Jessi Ngatikaura, she made one of the most jarring comparisons imaginable. In describing the cosmetic genital surgery that she’d undergone, she likened herself to her daughter. At the time, her daughter was one year old. Now, that clip has resurfaced — and the backlash drove Jessi to (temporarily) delete her account. As an April 2025 guest on the ‘Off The Vine’ podcast, Jessi Draper made an unfortunate comparison. Her words have come back to haunt her. (Image Credit: YouTube) ‘I look like my daughter [down there]’ During The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives‘ first season, Jessi invited her castmates to a painting party. This was prior to “getting my cookie redone,” as she put it. She was referring to cosmetic surgery on her vulva. (Child safety experts have cautioned against silly nicknames for genitals, as there are documented cases of children reporting an adult touching them inappropriately to other adults without being understood because they use nonsensical terms like “cookie.”) Specifically, Jessi underwent a labiaplasty to reduce the size of her labia minora. There is sometimes weird shaming over the shape and size of genitals, including of labia. Some folks would rather go under the knife than worry about what a partner thinks about their naked body. Jessi spoke repeatedly about this surgery (neither her first nor her last time getting cosmetic work, and yes many fans are concerned that this is a compulsive behavior) on SLOMW. She also opened up on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s Off The Vine podcast in 2025. This is where she got herself into trouble. “They cut the meat off. Like, you know how you have the little things inside the flaps?” Jessi asked, reminding everyone that the women of SLOMW may be victims of educational neglect as well as extreme religious upbringings. “They just, like, cut it off and then sew it back up … ” Jessi continued, accidentally describing a huge swathe of surgeries. “I’m like, ‘I look like my daughter [down there],” Jessi announced, referring to her then-one-year-old. “I’m like, brand new again.” That poor choice of words has resurfaced Comparing her adult genitals to that of her actual human baby-slash-toddler’s did not go over well. She is a grown woman in her thirties. While she wasn’t necessarily sexualizing her daughter, it was still … icky. (There is absolutely a conversation about how society expects women to look young forever in ways that make the comparison flattering to Jessi. Imagine, for contrast, a man comparing his penis to a baby’s. Suddenly, it sounds super weird and no longer a compliment.) Without delving into an ongoing feud … Jessi is currently in one. And that is why a very specific clip from Jessi’s 2025 interview was posted this week. It did not go over well. Jessi actually briefly deactivated her social media amidst the negative backlash. Now, however, it is back. She is a public figure and she has brand deals to support, no matter how many comments shr eceived. “Someone told me when I got [my labiaplasty] done I’d look brand new and like the day I was born again down there so it was a play on that,” Jessi said about the backlash after the initial interview. “I’m sorry!” She also called it “a bad joke” and explained that she “didn’t mean any harm by it.” We believe her! One thoughtless comment probably says a lot more about our society’s disturbing beauty standards than it does about Jessi as a person. That said, if her daughter grows up to feel some kind of way about this, that’s totally valid.

Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s official: after six years in the US, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the UK. Yes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will return to Harry’s home country later this month with their two children, according to a report from NBC News. The family is expected to remain in Britain for an “extended period,” with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, reportedly set to begin school there in September.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on a four-day visit to Australia, with engagements across Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney. (Photo by Asanka Ratnayake/Getty Images) But don’t expect Harry and Meghan to be moving back into a royal residence — or resuming their royal duties. The couple will reportedly live in a private residence and remain non-working members of the Royal Family, just as they have since stepping down from their senior roles in 2020. Buckingham Palace and Harry’s spokesperson have declined to comment on the move, but many believe the couple may wish to be closer to King Charles as he battles cancer. Still, the decision represents a remarkable turnaround for a couple who spent the past six years building a new life in California. Harry and Meghan famously left the UK in 2020, eventually settling in Montecito, where they purchased a reported $14.7 million mansion. Their departure was followed by a series of explosive interviews and projects that exposed deep divisions within the Royal Family, including their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix docuseries and Harry’s memoir, Spare. Harry’s relationship with his father has also been strained for years. But that relationship appears to be improving. Charles was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, and Harry, Meghan and their children visited Britain last month. The trip marked the first time the King had seen Archie and Lilibet since 2022. And while Charles reportedly welcomed the idea of having his youngest son and grandchildren closer, the monarch apparently didn’t know about the family’s plans until Sunday. Harry’s relationship with his older brother, Prince William, remains considerably more complicated. The brothers have been estranged for years, and there is little indication that Harry and Meghan’s return to Britain will magically repair that relationship. There are also no indications that Harry and Meghan intend to abandon their American life completely. The couple have built a business empire since leaving royal duties, including deals with Netflix and Spotify. Some of those ventures have been more successful than others, but the Sussexes have continued to maintain their public profiles from California. For now, however, Harry and Meghan appear ready to make Britain home again, at least for the foreseeable future. And after everything that happened when they left, that’s one royal plot twist we definitely didn’t see coming.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Early this year, the world heard that Jenelle Evans and David Eason were back together after their bitter divorce. It was alarming news, but sadly not surprising. Now, Teen Mom fans can breathe a small sigh of relief. They’ve broken up. Apparently, David hasn’t changed, to the surprise of exactly one person. David Eason and Jenelle Evans on August 27, 2017. (Photo Credit: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) ‘Jenelle kicked him out of her house’ Inside sources spoke to The Ashley to confirm that Jenelle and David had broken up. This latest round of making a terrible mistake lasted for 8 months. It was Jenelle who ended things — earlier this week, even. “They got into a huge fight and Jenelle kicked him out of her house,” the insider specified. Weird that it took so long. It would be really nice if this turns out to be the last time that she lets him into her children’s lives, but we wouldn’t bet on it. Jenelle and David finalized their divorce on Friday, July 11 in 2025. They had a nasty court battle. And, naturally, Jenelle had a protective order against David for reasons that we likely do not need to explain to anyone who has followed the horrific details of their story. However, early this year, David was allowed to fly to Vegas to visit Ensley in the hospital. Unfortunately, David and Jenelle rekindled their sick entanglement. David even moved in with Jenelle. Brand new information: terrible grown men do not change As Teen Mom fans may recall, Jenelle insisted that she and David were merely “coparenting” while sharing a home. (Just for the record, considering the charges that David is facing and everything else that we’ve heard about him, coparenting with the guy isn’t good, either.) Even so, she referred to him more than once as her “man.” During this time, David seemed to worm his way back into her life at every level. He even accompanied Jenelle to Florida when she moved last May. For most people, you might ask gee, didn’t David’s job miss him during this time? That does not seem to be one of his concerns. Especially not when Jenelle is paying for everything. PHOTO THREE The fight that broke out earlier this week was, it seems, the culmination of weeks or months of frustration. Apparently, Jenelle’s primary gripe about her serious awful ex-husband is that he would constantly ask her to buy things for him. If and when she refused, he would of course pitch a fit. “It was just like before [when they were married],” the source described. “Jenelle finally realized that he hasn’t changed and will never change.” The insider listed: “He doesn’t work. He gets mad about small things. Just like before.” Well, yeah. That’s who he is. “Jenelle told him that she will have him arrested if he comes back to her house, because of the no-contact order,” the source added. “She never dropped it and it’s always been active this whole time they’ve been together.” By the way, when Jace got out of the mental health facility, he couldn’t move in with her — because David was living with her. But then, that’s hardly the first time that Jenelle has chosen an irredeemable man over her own children.

Reading Time: 2 minutes In the wake of Hayden Panettiere’s death, her mother, Lindsey Vogel, made some surprising remarks. Specifically, Lesley blasted Hayden’s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, saying that the family had been “trying to get rid of” him. Now, Gayle King is calling out Vogel for using a family tragedy as an opportunity to toss out insensitive remarks that should have remained private. Hayden Panettiere attends the world premiere of Paramount’s “Scream VI” at AMC Lincoln Square Theater on March 06, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) During Wednesday’s episode of CBS Mornings, King and her co-hosts discussed Vogel’s public statement about her daughter. In addition to her comments about Hickerson, Vogel described Hayden as talented but said she had “lost her way” and wished she had “stayed true to herself.” For King, the comments were difficult to hear. “You know, guys, you read this and all I can think is, ‘Thanks, Mom, for nothing,’” King said. The veteran journalist had interviewed Panettiere earlier this year, when the actress was promoting her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. Panettiere had been candid about her struggles and her complicated relationship with her mother. King pointed out that Panettiere had already spent years publicly acknowledging her mistakes and personal battles. “You hear stuff like that,” King said of Vogel’s comments, “and you realize that it was still very much in progress.” King was referring to Panettiere’s description of her relationship with her mother as “very complicated” and a “work in progress.” Co-host Vladimir Duthiers was similarly critical of Vogel’s decision to focus on her daughter’s struggles so soon after her death. “Hayden Panettiere spent years publicly acknowledging her own failures, her own struggles,” Duthiers told King. “She cannot respond now, and for her mother to use these days after Hayden’s death to just remind the world just how much trauma she caused, it’s unseemly.” Kelly O’Grady also weighed in, noting that Vogel’s statement would have been received very differently if she had stopped with praise for her daughter. “If it stopped at ‘She’s amazing and she’s talented,’” O’Grady said, “we would all agree.” Instead, Vogel also took aim at Hickerson, who was with the actress when she died. The complicated family dynamic has received renewed attention following Panettiere’s death. In her memoir and subsequent interviews, the actress spoke openly about her strained relationship with Vogel and the difficulty of separating their roles as mother and manager. King ultimately expressed sadness over what she viewed as a missed opportunity to simply honor Panettiere. “It makes me so sad of the opportunity that you have after your daughter’s death that that’s what you choose to leave us with,” King said. Panettiere’s father, Skip Panettiere, took a markedly different approach in his tribute to his daughter, calling her “an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her.” The actress’ official cause of death has not yet been confirmed. An autopsy reportedly found no signs of trauma, with toxicology results still pending. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 2 minutes If you’ve spent any time on social media this week, then you’ve probably heard the name Natalie Harp. Harp is an aide to Donald Trump who was mentioned in a speech by Sen. Jon Ossoff after she was handpicked to be smuggled out of Turkey with the president while other staffers were left behind following a security threat. For obvious reasons, the relationship between boss and employee has received a fair amount of scrutiny, and Harp’s own brother has claimed that she has an “unhealthy obsession” with Trump.

(Photo by Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images) Interest in Harp has prompted an investigation by the New York Times, and the paper of record has uncovered some odd occurrences during the 35-year-old’s White House tenure. The Times obtained letters written by Harp to Trump, one of which finds her apologizing for walking a golf course in Scotland while her boss rolled along in a cart. “I also am sorry if I was an embarrassment walking the course in Scotland,” Harp allegedly wrote, adding: “I want things to always be right between us. I also know I’ve been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time).” She reportedly signed the letter, “With all my heart, Natalie,” which is not generally the tone one strikes when communicating with an employer. And that’s not the only time that Natalie tested the conventions of workplace behavior. According to a new report from CNN, Harp once got into a “screaming match” with fellow staffers in the lobby of Trump Tower. The then-former president was preparing to be transported to a nearby courthouse, and though there was no space left in his SUV, Hart was “determined not to be left behind.” To solve the problem, Harp reportedly climbed into the trunk and rode to the courthouse like a spare tire. It wasn’t the first time that she was reduced to the status of an inanimate object. After all, Harp is nicknamed the Human Printer due to the fact that she follows the president around with a portable printer. Say what you will about Harp’s dedication to her boss, at least we finally found a printer that actually works!

Reading Time: 3 minutes Many across the nation feel captivated by the tragic case of Lindsay Clancy. Lisa Rinna is taking things one step further, unfortunately. The actor and Real Housewife is adding her name to the list of those who believe that Lindsay is innocent of her crimes — and covering for her husband. Rinna claims that there’s evidence to support her claims. Let’s unpack this. Lisa Rinna attends the 2026 Las Culturistas Culture Awards on Broadway on May 30, 2026. (Photo Credit: Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images) Lindsay Clancy is not claiming to have not done it As most are likely aware, Clancy is currently standing trial for the murders of her three small children. It is critical that we acknowledge that neither Clancy nor her attorney is claiming that she did not do it. Her legal defense is is that she was not in control over her actions due to extreme postpartum psychosis, profound mental illness, and alleged overmedication. (We have reported on tragic cases of likely postpartum psychosis just recently. It is much rarer than postpartum depression, but it can happen.) After taking the lives of her children, Clancy attempted to end her own life. She lived — but is now paralyzed and must use a wheelchair. This is a complex case. Whenever postpartum psychosis leads to a tragedy, many people have strong feelings regarding the victims, the perpetrator, and anyone whom they might blame for not taking action sooner. Unfortunately, conspiracy theorists are weighing in and making claims about Clancy’s guilt or innocence that no one at the trial is making. And unfortunately, Lisa Rinna is one of them. This week, the Bravolebrity took to social media to announce: “Alright he did it! Patrick did it. Patrick’s the one who did it.” She is referring to Patrick Clancy, husband of Lindsay. And she is accusing him of killing their three children and allowing his wife to take the fall. Lisa Rinna claims Lindsay Clancy didn’t kill her three children because “women don’t strangle.” She says her therapist told her that women “poison” and that Patrick Clancy killed the children #RHOBH pic.twitter.com/WGe6ftOJCB — Dorinda Deadly (@dorindadeadly) August 18, 2026 ‘Women don’t strangle’ Why is Lisa Rinna making this claim? Well, she’ll explain. “I also heard that women typically don’t strangle … that’s awful to even say,” she said. “But that isn’t what a woman would do. They don’t strangle.” Rinna then cited her therapist as the source of this actually somewhat true but missing key context belief. “What do they do? Well, they poison. Or they drown them.” Rinna then claimed: “And she looks at me and she goes, ‘He did it.'” The opinion of Rinna’s therapist notwithstanding, it is true that women who commit murder (when not simply using a gun or an accomplice) are historically more likely to use poison. This gendered aspect of violence makes a lot of sense, and no, it is not the result of some sort of intrinsic feminine trait. If you are part of a group that is statistically (but not always) smaller and less muscular but you are also part of a group that is too often (but not always) expected to feed people, you have two incentives to use a harder-to-trace murder weapon than someone who might have an easy time bludgeoning someone to death and then disposing of the remains. Poisoning someone’s food, their drink, their medicine, their toiletries … these are the acts of intentional homicide. Which is not what basically anyone in Clancy’s life believes happened. Instead, it’s believed that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. This can take various forms, but a massive hormonal imbalance combined with other factors can cause someone’s protective instincts to backfire, making them a danger to their children. And this is the sad result. Clancy was not trying to get away with killing her kids. She was not thinking clearly and she also tried to end her own life. Additionally, she was bigger and stronger than the victims. Some of Rinna’s unproven statements on other topics sound very believable. This one different. And this tragic case should not fall prey to sensationalism. Lindsay Clancy is Innocent, Lisa Rinna Claims While Boosting Conspiracy Theory was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s been three days since the death of Hayden Panettiere, and new details about the actress’ final hours are still pouring in. We now know Hayden was at an apartment complex with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, at the time of her death. And with Panettiere’s death still under investigation, police have made a notable visit to a Hickerson family home. Hayden Panettiere attends the premiere of “Klitschko” during the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival at SVA Theater on April 24, 2011 in New York City. (Photo by Dario Cantatore/Getty Images) According to TMZ, the visit was part of a larger investigation to determine if criminal conduct may have played a role in Hayden’s passing. Two Greenville Police Department vehicles reportedly arrived at the South Carolina residence of Hickerson’s grandmother, Betty Ellison, at approximately 8:20 a.m. Witnesses say an officer knocked repeatedly on the front door while another attempted to access the home from the side. The officers left after roughly three minutes. TMZ later reported that police returned about 90 minutes later to “conduct a welfare check.” A Greenville Police Department representative confirmed the visit but did not specify who the officers were checking on. Hickerson’s brother, Zach, 38, was reportedly inside the home during the initial visit. Brian, 37, and Zach had both been seen at the property the previous day. The residence is approximately five miles from the Greenville Airbnb where Panettiere was found unresponsive on Sunday, August 16. The 36-year-old actress was pronounced dead at 2:32 p.m. after emergency responders attempted to revive her. Dispatch audio reportedly referenced a possible overdose and cardiac arrest, though an official cause of death has not been released. An autopsy found “no signs of trauma” that would have contributed to Panettiere’s death. However, the investigation remains active while authorities await toxicology results. Brian was reportedly at the Airbnb when Panettiere died. According to a police report, he was asleep in another room when Zach discovered the actress unresponsive in a chair. Brian also reportedly showed officers a bag containing medications Panettiere had been taking. The circumstances surrounding Panettiere’s final days have drawn increased scrutiny because of her complicated history with Hickerson. The pair dated on and off for years, and Hickerson was convicted of felony charges related to domestic violence against the actress in 2021. Panettiere’s mother, Lesley Vogel, has also publicly criticized Hickerson’s role in her daughter’s life following the actress’ death. For now, authorities have not publicly accused Hickerson or anyone else of wrongdoing in connection with Panettiere’s death. But with the investigation ongoing and toxicology results still pending, there are clearly plenty of unanswered questions surrounding the tragedy. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Jill Duggar is preparing to rehome the family dog. Over a year after Derick Dillard left his job, he has completed his training to become a military lawyer. In 2021, the Dillards adopted their beloved canine companion. Now, they’ll have to find a new home for her before they move as part of their new lives as a military family. This row of military housing in New England shows on example of accommodations that military families might receive as their lives are repeatedly uprooted. (Photo Credit: Chris Hondros/Getty Images) ‘Help us find her a loving home!’ After 5 years, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are aiming to rehome Fenna. They did not publicly announce this news, such as by posting it on their family website or on one of the Dillard family social media pages. Instead, Derick posted to a Facebook group titled “Northwest Arkansas Dog Talk.” The actual title, and not the AI-generated slop that Meta added to it, was: “Rehoming family dog due to upcoming military move!!” Within the post, he shared details about Fenna, the family dog of five years. In a Facebook group, Derick Dillard shared in August 2026 that his family plans to rehome their dog, Fenna. (Image Credit: Facebook) “Name: Fenna,” he wrote. “Breed: German Shepherd mix ([paperwork] when we adopted her in Rogers, AR in Jan. 2021 said she was Belgian Malinois, but we did the DNA Embark test and it showed mostly German Shepherd.)” Derick continued: “Other: She is fixed, chipped and overall healthy dog.” He assessed: “She loves our active kids (ages 11-4), loves being outside, but also ok in kennel.” Derick detailed: “We went through 1st level of Petco classes after adopting her, so she knows basic commands (e.g. sit, stay, place, here, & likes when the kids make her jump through the hoola hoop for treats etc.).” He then implored members of the Facebook group: “Help us find her a loving home! DM us if interested!” Maybe this is for the best? Naturally, Derick Dillard is just enough of a public figure that this immediately broke containment — while not being famous enough to have someone who looks into things for him (or just, you know, having enough money to not need this job or to move). On social media, people exchanged strong opinions about this move. Many cannot imagine taking a member of the family of 5 years and just sending them to another household due to a move. However, others pointed out that this isn’t about uprooting the family to Rhode Island. It’s about the military lifestyle. Temporary military housing is often not a place for a pet — especially for a larger dog. And, according to Derick, it could be up to eight months until the Dillards are even allowed to have a dog. In a public post from the family’s facebook page, the Dillards shared their plans for big changes accompanying Derick’s new job. (Image Credit: Facebook) Many people across social media are sharing their experiences. Numerous commenters — even those who do not regard Derick or any others in the extended Duggar clan with a charitable eye — noted that a new home might be what’s best for Fenna. Dogs — especially young, active dogs — need space to run around, they need loving families who can shower them with affection and help them to keep their routines. A number of folks discussed memories of losing their own pets, including during moves, as children. This can sometimes be a traumatic experience with effects on how one views pets and personal loss. The emotional impact can outlive almost any pet (except, like, a tortoise or certain parrots). And others remarked on how this will be a major adjustment for Jill Duggar. She’s a military wife. That’s just going to be different, especially for someone who grew up in a cult and is still playing catch-up with the real world.
