Joe Manganiello: Sofia Vergara Mocked My Dog, Refused to Hug Me When I Thought I Was Dying
Reading Time: 2 minutes Joe Manganiello is opening up about the devastating health battle he says changed his marriage to Sofia Vergara — and his account of their relationship is not exactly flattering. Manganiello and Vergara got divorced in 2023 after seven years of marriage. And he says she was anything but supportive while he was battling a mysterious autoimmune illness that nearly killed him. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Manganiello details the ordeal in his upcoming memoir, Bloodlines, revealing that his health began deteriorating shortly after he and Vergara married in 2015. Over the next seven years, he says he lost 60 pounds, endured excruciating abdominal pain, and underwent numerous medical procedures. In 2016, doctors were forced to remove part of his intestines during emergency surgery. But according to Manganiello, the physical suffering was only part of the problem. He claims his marriage had “become devoid of any emotionality whatsoever” during his years of illness. He alleges that Vergara refused to hug him, even when he begged her to, and ridiculed him over a five-pound Chihuahua named Bubbles. The dog, Manganiello explains, had arrived during one of the darkest periods of his life. “I had to give my gun away because I kept thinking about it, and then the dog came,” he says in the memoir. “I went from being the patient to the caretaker.” Manganiello says Bubbles became an important source of comfort while he was struggling with his health and contemplating suicide. The actor also uses Bloodlines to dispute one of the most commonly reported explanations for his 2023 divorce from Vergara. Vergara previously said that the marriage ended because Manganiello wanted children while she did not want to become “an old mom.” Manganiello now claims that his health battle actually caused him to abandon his dream of becoming a father. After unsuccessful IVF attempts, the couple reportedly discussed using an egg donor. But Manganiello says he feared dying and leaving Vergara with a child who “wasn’t biologically hers.” “There were things said and printed about me that were false,” he says. Manganiello eventually underwent another surgery to reconnect his digestive tract and says he is now symptom-free and off medication. These days, he’s engaged to Caitlin O’Connor and says he is finally looking toward the future — including possibly becoming a father. “For seven years I thought I was going to be dead the next week,” Manganiello says. “The world has opened back up to me.” Bloodlines is scheduled for release on October 13.

Mia Goth Files to Divorce Shia LaBeouf After 10 Years of Marriage
Reading Time: 2 minutes Mia Goth and Shia LaBeouf’s complicated relationship has officially reached its end. Goth filed for divorce from LaBeouf on Tuesday night, bringing a legal conclusion to a marriage that has been filled with breakups, reconciliations, and more than a few dramatic twists. According to court documents obtained by Page Six, Goth cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the divorce. (Photo by Anthony Harvey/Getty Images for BFI) She listed July 28, 2025, as the couple’s official date of separation. Goth is also seeking primary legal and physical custody of the couple’s 4-year-old daughter, Isabel. Interestingly, neither side appears to be seeking spousal support. Goth is asking the court to terminate its ability to award support to either her or LaBeouf. The divorce filing comes nearly a year after the couple reportedly went their separate ways. Page Six first reported in February that Goth and LaBeouf had quietly separated, despite having remained largely out of the public eye. At the time, a source described their relationship as complicated and said the pair had experienced plenty of “drama” before ultimately calling it quits. LaBeouf subsequently moved from Los Angeles to New Orleans, where he remained closer to family. The couple first met in 2012 while filming Nymphomaniac: Vol. II. Their romance quickly became an on-again, off-again affair, with the two marrying in 2016. They split two years later before finding their way back to each other around 2020. In 2022, they welcomed their daughter. LaBeouf later spoke openly about the difficulties in their marriage, admitting that he had made serious mistakes and had damaged the trust between them. “We were deeply unhappy,” he said in March. He also acknowledged that their problems ultimately became too difficult to overcome. Despite that, LaBeouf had nothing but praise for Goth when discussing their split. “That’s one of the best girls that ever lived,” he said. “She’s incredible, that woman.” LaBeouf was arrested multiple times earlier this year after multiple drunken, violent incidents in the streets of New Orleans. He also said the former couple was working toward a healthy co-parenting relationship. “We’re in a good spot,” LaBeouf said. “We’re trying to figure out co-parenting, and we’re good.” Now, after more than a decade of romance, marriage and reconciliation, Goth appears ready to officially close the book on their relationship. That’s probably for the best. Mia Goth Files to Divorce Shia LaBeouf After 10 Years of Marriage was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Megyn Kelly Blasts Olivia Rodrigo: ‘Shut Up’ About Jane Doe & The Cornell …
Reading Time: 4 minutes Megyn Kelly, of all people, is telling Olivia Rodrigo to “shut up.” Her words would be better placed if she spoke them into a mirror. As Rodrigo joined the plurality of voices supporting Jane Doe in the Cornell University gang rape case, Kelly is siding with the seven accused rapists. Some ask why Kelly, after her experiences with Roger Ailes, is taking this stance. But there’s probably an easy answer. (Image Credit: YouTube) Megyn Kelly is royally peeved at Olivia Rodrigo for standing up for Jane Doe Uninformed celebrity Megyn Kelly is blasting Olivia Rodrigo and more as “uninformed celebrities.” The former Fox News host, for NBC host, current YouTuber went on a rant to her primarily geriatric audience over Rodrigo’s statement. “Shame on Cornell and on every institution who protects rapists and abusers over women,” Rodrigo wrote on her Instagram Story over the weekend. “I stand with Jane Doe,” Rodrigo affirmed. “Her bravery reverberates across the country and the crimes against her will not go unpunished.” She continued: “What she lived through matters, and so does the failure of those who could have intervened but chose not to. She deserves answers, consequences, and lasting change.” Well said! (Image Credit: Instagram) Kelly responded to the statement by demanding that she “shut up and stick to singing.” She declared: “I liked you better when you were in front of a microphone singing your weird little depressing songs.” Kelly ranted: “Shut up. You don’t know what you’re talking about.” That appears to be a severe case of projection. “It’s better to keep your mouth shut and let people suspect you’re an idiot than to open it and prove them right,” Kelly said, seemingly without any self-awareness. “Ever hear that saying? It applies to you, sweetheart.” The former TV host whined that Rodrigo is a “know-nothing moron,” demanding that she “Sit down and be quiet. … Be quiet. The adults are talking.” (Image Credit: YouTube) Why would Kelly take this stance, given her own experiences with sexual misconduct? Though 23-year-old Olivia Rodrigo is certainly younger than Megyn Kelly by a few decades, she is an adult. She is also clearly well-informed on both the horrors of the gang rape allegation and the accusations of a cover-up by Cornell University. (Prosecutors have said that the university withheld key elements of their investigation, claiming that otherwise they might have pressed charges against the seven accused rapists.) Kelly has made herself a crusader against Jane Doe, declaring that the accused rapists are “innocent men.” Of particular interest to her is the fact that Doe took a few weeks, after getting medical treatment and trying to piece together the timeline and the people involved on her own, to report the alleged gang rape. Famously, Kelly was one of several women at the heart of a workplace sexual harassment case against Roger Ailes and a broader culture at Fox News. Kelly, not unreasonably, took about a decade before coming forward with her experiences. Why the flip-flop? Know their names: Scott Kretzschmar, Scott Norris, Diego Sarabia, Gillio Lopes, Winston Lee, Johnathan Newell and Matthew Ingalls #Cornell7 But also, everyone in the group chat, the administrators, university, and DA. SHAME. [image or embed] — FLAVOR FLAV ⏰ (@flavorflav.bsky.social) September 29, 2026 at 10:49 PM The easy answer, and it isn’t necessarily wrong, is that Megyn Kelly is part of the “mostly just me” movement. It’s like Me Too, except that instead of recognizing how many people — especially women — have had similar experiences with predation, people like Kelly either weaponize their own victimhood to dismiss other survivors or don’t mention what they themselves went through at all. What happened to me is valid and tragic, but I’m not like other victims, I’m special, I’m one of the good ones. It’s not a healthy mindset. But for some survivors, it’s how they cope and avoid the breakdown of processing how widespread this really is. The other part of the answer is more callous. Megyn Kelly knows that her audience is almost entirely older, white, conservative men who want to hear the mean blonde woman throw other women under the bus and reinforce existing power structures instead of challenging them. It is likely that Kelly actually believes at least some of what she is saying. That makes it sadder, if anything.

Joe Biden’s ‘Frail’ Appearance, Odd Comments Spark Concern During Rare …
Reading Time: 3 minutes When Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, he did so among widespread concerns about his health and mental acuity. Shortly thereafter, Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In the months since, speculation about Biden’s health has continued to run rampant, and the former president’s recent appearance at a Delaware car show is unlikely to quell those concerns. (Photo by Samuel Corum/Getty Images) Biden was in attendance to show off his beloved Corvette, but his demeanor wound up stealing the spotlight. The 83-year-old took the stage at the Audrain Newport Concours & Motor Week in Rhode Island, where he proudly showed off his 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The longtime car enthusiast was invited to the event by host Jay Leno, and he spent time greeting attendees and checking out the impressive collection of classic automobiles. The Corvette has been in Biden’s family for decades. His father gave him the vehicle as a wedding gift, and the former president has reportedly kept the car for nearly 60 years. It also received the Spirit of Audrain Award during the event. But footage of Biden leaving the event quickly shifted the conversation. The former president appeared to move slowly and cautiously as he made his way toward a waiting SUV surrounded by Secret Service agents. When reporters asked him to say a few words, Biden waved and repeatedly responded, “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” He then turned toward Leno and appeared to say, “I don’t want to go,” before lingering near the vehicle. Biden also showed off a jacket he had received at the event, which had his name embroidered on it, before eventually getting into the SUV. The footage prompted plenty of reactions online, with critics describing Biden as “frail” and using the moment to question Biden’s physical and mental condition. Some accused the former president of appearing confused, while others made considerably harsher claims about his cognitive abilities. “Ask him today if he remembers even BEING THERE yesterday…go ahead! Ask him!” one user wrote, according to Radar Online. “Funny. Someone had Biden’s name stitched on his clothing so he remembers what his name is. Dude belongs in a care home,” a second person snarked about his jacket. “He is completely gone,” a third user observed, while a fourth claimed Biden’s “brain is fried.” Not everyone viewed the appearance so negatively, however. One commenter pointed out that Biden is battling advanced cancer and offered a much more sympathetic assessment of the former president’s condition. Biden’s health has been a subject of increasing concern since he revealed his prostate cancer diagnosis in 2025. His son, Hunter Biden, provided a grim update in August, saying the cancer had spread to his father’s bones and that the disease was “very painful” and “very debilitating in many respects.” Whatever viewers made of Biden’s slow departure, there was at least one thing that appeared to bring the former president plenty of enthusiasm: his Corvette. After the event, Biden shared his appreciation for the Newport outing, highlighting the classic car and his time with his grandson and longtime friend Leno. For a former president who has largely stayed out of the public spotlight, it was certainly an attention-grabbing afternoon — and one that left social media talking about considerably more than vintage automobiles.

Jill Duggar Honors 2 Miscarriages for Pregnancy Loss Awareness Month
Reading Time: 3 minutes Jill Duggar shares three living sons with husband Derick Dillard. She has also suffered two miscarriages over the years. As Jill continues to grieve, she is well aware that she is not alone in mourning children who might have been. She shared a tribute — not only to her two miscarriages, but to others who have experienced similar family tragedies. (Image Credit: TLC) Jill Duggar knows that she is not alone in her grief On Tuesday, October 6, Jill Dillard took to her Instagram page to share photos and a serious message. “October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month,” she began. “And,” Jill continued, “it hits close to home for us” She explained: “since this past weekend was also the anniversary of our 1st miscarriage.” Jill asked: “Did you know that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in loss? It affects far more families than most realize.” Many cultures and religions do not bestow names during pregnancy, but wait until birth — or even later. Not so with Jill and Derick. In October 2021, Jill suffered a miscarriage. She named her would-be son River Bliss Dillard. Then, in March of 2024, Jill suffered another miscarriage. Her daughter would have been Isla Marie Dillard. One necklace in Jill’s photo shows a pair of pendants symbolizing the two children whom she never got to meet. The other shows five letters — seemingly one initial for each of her three children (Israel, Samuel, and Frederick) and one for River and one for Isla. (Image Credit: Instagram) ‘Boy mom x3 on earth with 2 babies safe in the arms of Jesus’ “A little love can go a long way,” Jill Duggar then suggested as her caption continued. “If you know someone walking through loss,” she wrote, “or who previously walked through loss.” Jill suggested that followers “reach out to them and just let them know you love them & you’re thinking of them.” She even suggested that fans might want to tag someone who has suffered such a loss. We don’t mean to speak for those who have endured miscarriages, but not everyone would appreciate being reached out to in this manner. Even more would bristle at being tagged. This is a very sensitive topic, and feelings may vary widely. Jill added words that acknowledged her role as a mother as well as her grief. “Boy mom x3 on earth,” she described herself, “with 2 babies safe in the arms of Jesus.” Jill wrote: “River Bliss Dillard 10/3/2021, Isla Marie Dillard 3/19/2024.” Miscarriages might happen so early that the person was not aware that they were pregnant — or even that they had a miscarriage. They can also be a source of enduring trauma, especially if they happen repeatedly (or if, as in the case of Jill, the expecting parent believes them to be persons even at early stages of gestation.) Our hearts go out to Jill and to all who share this often private, too often misunderstood grief.

Christa Pike Is Awake, Talking Following Botched Execution: What Is She Saying?
Reading Time: 2 minutes Christa Pike has survived something that was never supposed to be survivable. Nearly a week after Tennessee’s botched attempt to execute her by lethal injection, the 50-year-old death row inmate is conscious and speaking from her hospital bed, according to her attorneys. Pike’s legal team announced the surprising update Tuesday, saying she is “conscious, speaking, and continues to receive critical medical care” (via TMZ). (Tennessee Department of Correction) That’s obviously a significant improvement from where things stood just days ago. Pike was unconscious and on a ventilator following the September 30 execution attempt at Tennessee’s Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville. She had been administered two lethal doses of pentobarbital, but the execution was ultimately halted after she failed to lose consciousness. She was transported to a hospital, where doctors have been treating the effects of the failed execution. “Her recovery is medically unprecedented,” Pike’s attorneys said in a statement. “Her prognosis remains unclear but, at a minimum, we expect a long recovery.” Her lawyers also said Pike continues to deal with severe injuries to both arms and remains handcuffed and shackled to her hospital bed. Pike’s attorneys have alleged that problems with the IV lines caused the lethal drug to enter surrounding tissue rather than properly reaching her bloodstream. They have also accused Tennessee officials of failing to recognize the problem during the execution. According to a court filing, Pike experienced significant distress during the procedure, while witnesses reported hearing her breathing and snoring long after the lethal drugs had been administered. The situation has raised serious questions about Tennessee’s execution procedures. Gov. Bill Lee has ordered an independent review of what happened and halted the state’s remaining scheduled executions for the year. Tennessee Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada is also set to resign following the botched execution. Pike’s attorneys are now asking Lee to commute her death sentence to life in prison without parole. “The least that could happen now is that we at least take death off the table and start looking for what the future could be for her,” attorney Stephen Ferrell previously said. Pike was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer. She was 18 at the time of the crime. For now, however, the focus is on Pike’s condition and what comes next. Her attorneys say her prognosis remains uncertain. But after surviving an execution that was intended to end her life, Pike is awake, speaking and fighting to recover. And that’s a development few could have anticipated just one week ago.

Tristan & Andrew Tate Alleged Trafficking Victim: They Made Me ‘F–k a Bed …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Harrowing allegations detail how Tristan and Andrew Tate lured victims and then trafficked them, abusing them and profiting at the same time. Authorities have already found explicit videos of children and non-human animals (including a horse and an eel) on the Tate brothers’ devices. Testimony from their actual victims (they are accused of crimes in three countries) paints a more personal picture of their cruelty and depravity. One woman described being tricked into traveling to another country only to be forced to work 12-hour days and “f–k a bed knob” in an experience she describes as “sexual slavery.” (Photo Credit: Andrei Pungovschi/Getty Images) Andrew Tate’s alleged human trafficking operation was international According to court documents that TMZ has obtained, a woman has described being lured overseas by Tristan and Andrew Tate. In 2017, she describes, Andrew convinced her to move to Romania. He claimed at the time that it would be her choice whether to do webcam work. When she arrived, however, she said that Andrew had her working 12-hour shifts. Andrew and Tristan, meanwhile, controlled the chats and accepted money, she said, for her to perform sex acts that she had not agreed to. It is very common for online sex workers to get requests or cash offers to do things on camera that they do not wish to do. Most can decline, as politely or bluntly as they choose. She did not have that option. Prior to her beginning this nightmare, she said that she had specifically set a boundary that she would not be doing anything anal. This was ignored, she says, by the Tate brothers. Instead, the filing describes her being pressured into doing things such as using actual and improvised sex toys. In one instance, she described, she had to “f–k a bed knob for an hour.” She describes this nightmare life with the Tate brothers as “sexual slavery.” Despite the abuse and rape that she described in the filing, she felt that she was unable to escape the human trafficking operation that the infamous brothers were operating. [image or embed] — GM Joe had a great time PGX (@gmjoe.bsky.social) October 6, 2026 at 10:25 PM There are also allegations against Tristan Tate In addition to accusing Andrew Tate of luring a woman there only to traffic her as a sex slave for his own profit, the document also has allegations about Tristan, specifically. This second woman described Tristan repeatedly choking her during sex until she passed out. Relatedly, she said that he had raped her anally while she was unconscious. According to her, Tristan told her that “the more he liked someone, the more he wanted to hurt them.” Many partners might engage in breath play, somnophilia, anal sex, and more. But sexual activity must always be safe, sane, and consensual. This victim is describing something much worse. The Tate brothers continue to deny the allegations against them. They are facing a litany of charges in numerous countries — including Romania, the UK, and the United States. Andrew and Tristan maintain that only “low-IQ morons of the world” believe that they are guilty of the heinous crimes of which they are accused, even though the crimes completely match their whole vibe and personas. They are currently in detention and awaiting extradition to the UK. Though at least three countries will get a “bite at the apple,” many hope that no prosecutors fumble this case. There are too many evil men using their power to hurt women and then running around the world freely. Each time that one is brought to justice, the world becomes that much safer.

Kevin Hart’s Former Sex Tape Partner to Testify in Lawsuit as Former Assistant Goes …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Who is responsible for trashing Kevin Hart’s reputation? Hart accuses his former assistant of breaching an NDA to do just that. The unhappy ex-employee says that Hart didn’t need her help. To that end, she hopes that the woman from his infamous sex tape scandal will testify in court. (Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/WireImage) Kevin Hart’s lawsuit is about to get messier TMZ obtained court documents that could bring Kevin Hart’s infamous sex tape partner, Montia Sabbaq, into his ongoing court battle. Miesha Shakes is Hart’s former assistant. She spoke about his personal life during an interview with a blogger. Hart alleges that she breached a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) by doing so. He accuses her of trashing his reputation by discussing his private matters in a public forum. Ouch! Meanwhile, Shakes has fired back at Hart. According to her, Hart did not comply with certain obligations as her employer. Therefore, she argues, their agreement — including the NDA — is void. Will that hold up in court? We’re not sure. But part of Shakes’ argument is that Hart has trashed his own reputation. And she believes that Sabbaq can testify to that effect. This ties into an older, unresolved lawsuit Back in 2019, Montia Sabbaq sued Kevin Hart for $60 million over his controversial 2017 sex tape. In the lawsuit, she accused him of filming her without her consent. Hart denied all wrongdoing in the case. Eventually, the case was dismissed — on technical grounds, as the lawsuit was brought “in the wrong venue.” This was in 2020, in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. If Sabbaq has spent the ensuing years hoping to have her day in court, she just might get it. Shakes wants to question Sabbaq in court about Hart and the things that he has done to damage his own reputation and public image over the years. The sex tape is only one example, but it is a salacious one. Especially given Hart’s long-term relationship. For the record, Shakes intends to take the stand and testify. She also hopes to call Hart to the stand. This looks like it’s going to get messier before it’s over.

Ciara Miller Booted From DWTS Amid Nightmare Year; Kyle Cooke Reacts
Reading Time: 2 minutes Ciara Miller’s Dancing With the Stars journey has come to an unexpectedly early end. The Summer House star and her professional partner, Brandon Armstrong, were eliminated Tuesday night during “Mariah Carey Night,” despite delivering their best performance of the season. Ciara and Brandon performed a jazz routine to Mariah Carey’s “Emotions,” earning 21 out of 30 points from judges Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli. (ABC/YouTube) That score put them in a four-way tie for sixth place on the leaderboard. But when the judges’ scores were combined with viewer votes, it wasn’t enough to keep the reality TV star in the competition. Ciara ultimately found herself in the bottom three alongside Jackson Olson and Guillermo Rodriguez. And it was Ciara who got the boot. The elimination was particularly shocking considering how much progress she had made throughout the competition. Brandon also made it clear that he believed his partner was just getting started. “This competition really is about a journey,” he said following their elimination. “I’m super bummed because I think Ciara was one of those people that was getting better every single week.” Ciara, meanwhile, remained grateful for the experience despite having her Mirrorball Trophy dreams cut short. “I’m so grateful for Brandon,” she said. “This experience has been the moment of a lifetime, and there’s no one else I would rather have had this moment with.” The elimination comes toward the end of a rough year for Miller, who very publicly learned that ex-boyfriend West Wilson is now dating her close friend Amanda Batula. Because of her improvement throughout the season and all that she’s endured off camera, Miller emerged as a fan favorite in recent weeks, making her elimination all the more shocking. Of course, Ciara had plenty of people rooting for her back home — including her Summer House co-stars. Kyle Cooke learned about the elimination in real time while attending Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea Awards” in New York City. “Oh, no. We all voted, too,” Kyle reacted. He also praised Ciara for how seriously she took the competition after beginning her DWTS training back in August. “She put in so much hard work,” Kyle said, noting that Ciara had even shown him some of her dance moves while they were filming Summer House. “That makes me sad, but, I mean, what an incredible opportunity,” he added. Unfortunately for Ciara, an incredible opportunity still ended with an incredibly frustrating result. And while she won’t be taking home the Mirrorball Trophy, she certainly made an impression during her time in the ballroom.

Matthew Ingalls, Accused ‘Cornell 7’ Rapist, Claims Jane Doe …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Matthew Ingalls, the guy who invited his Cornell University frat bros to “walk in and whip it out” on Jane Doe, claimed to administration that he was actually a victim that night. The following year, he claimed that the woman who reported that she was gang raped “sodomized” him that night. He then accused the school, which is also accused of withholding key evidence from prosecutors in the alleged gang rape, of ignoring his complaint. What’s going on? (Photo Credit: Spencer Platt/Getty Images) What did Matthew Ingalls tell Cornell University? Of the “Cornell 7,” the accused gang rapists accused of drugging and raping Jane Doe in October 2024, offering her up to each other in a Chi Phi Snapchat conversation that night, Matthew Ingalls stands out. Prior to that night, Jane Doe had considered him to be her friend. There is even a recording of her calling him and trying to piece together a timeline and identify which men were there that night, though it seems that she likely suspected that he had a sinister role in what happened to her. (He was less than helpful, and even appeared to try to persuade her that either she was sober or that he had earnestly believed that she was sober — even in the same breath that he claimed to not have a good memory of the night himself.) Now, a new layer of his claims says that he was a victim — her victim. Know their names: Scott Kretzschmar, Scott Norris, Diego Sarabia, Gillio Lopes, Winston Lee, Johnathan Newell and Matthew Ingalls #Cornell7 But also, everyone in the group chat, the administrators, university, and DA. SHAME. [image or embed] — FLAVOR FLAV ⏰ (@flavorflav.bsky.social) September 29, 2026 at 10:49 PM In a February 2025 email to Cornell University’s Title IX office, Ingalls claimed that he was “sodomized by her while I was incapacitated.” To be clear, it seems that he is accusing Jane Doe of nonconsensual acts (reading between the lines, maybe fingering him?) during her alleged gang rape. Ingalls accused Cornell of gender discrimination for failing to inform him of his rights under Cornell’s sexual misconduct guidelines. If someone performs a nonconsensual sex act during sex — from removing a condom to choking to impact play to invading an orifice without permission, that is probably sexual assault. The same would go if the person is incapacitated. But … is that what happened to Ingalls? Jane Doe and her medical records tell a very different story Matthew Ingalls allegedly invited Jane Doe over to his frat house. He said that she was sober (or claimed to be sober), while she says that not only had she been drinking beforehand, but told him as much. She believed them to be friends. According to her lawsuit, Doe was heavily intoxicated with alcohol, marijuana, and ketamine. Ingalls “popped the question” (his phrasing) about a threesome, and then proceeded to invite other Chi Phi frat brothers. On Snapchat, he shared a photo of Doe — naked on a bed — while inviting other men to “walk in and whip it out.” Even if the physical acts that Ingalls described took place, one wonders how he would argue in court that Doe — drugged and offered up to his fraternity brothers — was the predator. You cannot convince me that frat brothers organically walked into separate police interviews using the same word, “consensual,” and that it wasn’t coordinated. Especially after a witness told police there was allegedly a fraternity meeting to get everyone “on the same page”. [image or embed] — Christopher Webb (@cwebbonline.com) October 6, 2026 at 11:48 PM Jane Doe says that this was not a consensual encounter. Her memory of the incident fades in and out, and she became confused as to how so many men entered the room. She also sustained physical injuries, she described, prompting her to seek medical attention. Cornell expelled Ingalls and Newell after an internal investigation. Other participants received suspensions or had to write essays. Meanwhile, prosecutors say that the university withheld key elements of Jane Doe’s testimony. Had they known at the time what she had described, they say, they would have pressed charges. The hands that fumbled this are no longer in control. New York Attorney General Letitia James is acting as a special prosecutor for this case after it has dominated headlines for weeks.

Andrew Tate Possessed Explicit Videos Featuring Animals, Children, Authorities Claim
Reading Time: 2 minutes Back in July, manosphere influencer Andrew Tate was arrested on a slew of charges, including rape and human trafficking. Now, Tate is facing disturbing new allegations, as British authorities attempt to have the controversial influencer extradited from the United States. Newly filed court documents obtained by TMZ detail allegations involving Tate’s possession of extreme pornography, including material involving animals and alleged sexual content featuring a minor. (Photo by Andrei Pungovschi/Getty Images) The claims are part of the United Kingdom’s case seeking to bring Tate back to Britain to face numerous criminal allegations. According to prosecutors, authorities allegedly discovered explicit material involving sexual acts with live animals — including horses and eels — on a device connected to Tate. The documents also accuse him of possessing numerous indecent images and videos involving a minor. One alleged video reportedly showed Tate with a girl believed to have been 17 at the time. Prosecutors further claim that messages demonstrate Tate was aware of her age. Those allegations are part of a much broader criminal case. British authorities have accused Tate of rape, assault, human trafficking, controlling prostitution for financial gain and possession of extreme pornography. The case against Tate and his brother, Tristan Tate, involves alleged offenses dating back years, and the brothers have denied wrongdoing. The brothers were arrested in Miami in July after British authorities requested their extradition. They remain in custody while fighting the effort to send them back to the United Kingdom. And Tate’s attorney, Joseph McBride, is pushing back hard against the latest allegations. McBride described the prosecution’s case as “prosecution slop” and argued that British authorities are attempting to connect Tate to material found on a device that he says was located in a property where Tate was not necessarily staying. The attorney also claims there is no evidence that Tate actually viewed the videos in question. According to McBride, one of the videos was allegedly a war-related clip that had been sent to an MMA group chat. McBride further argues that the device allegedly containing the material no longer exists, making it impossible for the defense to independently examine the evidence. The attorney has also attacked British prosecutors over their decision not to publicly identify the alleged victims, arguing that the Tates should not be extradited based on accusations from unnamed individuals. For now, those competing claims will play out in the U.S. extradition proceedings. Tate has built a massive online following by making provactive statements about masculinity, relationships. and women. But his increasingly serious legal troubles have put the controversial influencer in a very different spotlight. And if UK prosecutors get their way, Tate could soon have to answer for those allegations in a British courtroom.

Raiders Fan Mocks Taylor Swift’s Appearance With Stadium Sign, Earns Wrath of …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Well, the Kansas City Chiefs are 4-0, and Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s honeymoon phase has been all smooth sailing. Well … mostly smooth sailing. You see, some NFL fans still haven’t learned that insulting Taylor Swift is a very risky move. A Las Vegas Raiders fan is getting roasted online after bringing a rather unnecessary message about the pop superstar to Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. (Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images for for Songwriters Hall Of Fame) In case you missed it, the Chiefs edged out the Raiders 30-27 to hold on to their perfect record. But one fan in the stands managed to attract attention for something that had absolutely nothing to do with football. The dude held up a sign that read, “Scores 6s On & Off The Field.” Yes, the message was apparently intended as a dig at Taylor’s looks. Swifties were not happy, of course. But even NFL fans who are mostly indifferent toward Taylor were not impressed. “I’m a Raiders fan, but that’s classless,” one person posted (according to Yahoo! News). “She’s literally an 8 or a 9,” another argued. “All while you’re sitting on the sidelines and she’s literally in the suites,” a third fan pointed out. Another Raiders supporter was equally unimpressed, writing, “I’m a Raider fan but this is stupid.” And, perhaps most brutally, one commenter joked that creating the sign “must have taken him all night.” Taylor was not in attendance at Sunday’s game, so the fan apparently decided to start a one-sided feud with a woman who wasn’t even there. That may have been for the best. Taylor has been a regular presence at Chiefs games in recent years, and for the most part, fans have embraced her presence. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes had considerably nicer things to say about the Raiders following the game. “That’s a good football team,” the Chiefs quarterback said, praising Las Vegas’ defense and veteran players. So while Mahomes was busy complimenting the opposing team, one Raiders fan was busy rating Taylor Swift. Something tells us the quarterback had the better approach. The Chiefs and Raiders will meet again later this season, this time at Arrowhead Stadium. And if Taylor happens to be there, perhaps someone should remind this particular fan to leave the signs at home.

Freddie Jackson Cause of Death: Legendary R&B Singer Was 70
Reading Time: 2 minutes We have tragic news to report from the world of music. Freddie Jackson, the R&B legend best known for hit songs like “You Are My Lady” and “Rock Me Tonight,” has died at the age of 70. Jackson’s family announced his death on Tuesday, revealing that the singer passed away Monday night. He had celebrated his 70th birthday just three days earlier. (Photo by Robin Marchant/Getty Images for SiriusXM) A cause of death has not been announced. “It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Freddie Jackson, who went home to rest last night,” his family wrote in a statement shared on his official Instagram account. The family remembered Jackson as much more than a legendary singer. “Freddie was more than a legendary voice. He was a kind, generous soul who loved his fans, his family, his friends, and his music with everything he had,” they wrote. They also thanked the millions of fans who had made Jackson’s music part of their lives over the course of his decades-long career. “For decades he gave us the songs that became the soundtrack to our love stories, our celebrations, and our most treasured memories,” the statement continued. “That gift will live on forever.” Jackson was born and raised in Harlem, New York, where he began singing gospel music at White Rock Baptist Church. His professional career took off in the 1980s, following a stint with the group Mystic Merlin and work with producer Paul Laurence. Jackson signed with Capitol Records in 1984 and released his debut album, Rock Me Tonight, the following year. The album became a massive success, with its title track spending six weeks atop the R&B charts. “You Are My Lady” became another signature hit, while songs including “Have You Ever Loved Somebody,” “Jam Tonight,” “Tasty Love” and “Nice ’N’ Slow” helped cement Jackson’s reputation as one of R&B’s premier romantic voices. Jackson earned two Grammy nominations in 1986 and continued making music for decades. His most recent album, My First Love, was released in 2023. In 2024, Jackson publicly revealed that he had been diagnosed with kidney disease and partnered with the National Kidney Foundation to raise awareness. However, his family has not said that the condition was related to his death. As fans mourn the loss of one of R&B’s most recognizable voices, Jackson’s family promised that additional details about funeral arrangements and ways to honor his legacy will be announced in the coming days. “Rest in peace, Freddie. Your legacy and your voice will live on forever,” his family wrote today. Our thoughts go out to Freddie Jackson’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time, Freddie Jackson Cause of Death: Legendary R&B Singer Was 70 was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Michael Douglas Admits to Drunkenly Threatening Julia Roberts
Reading Time: 2 minutes Michael Douglas has a new memoir out this week. And it contains some anecdotes that don’t exactly portray the screen legend in a positive light. At one point in One Helluva Ride, the 82-year-old recalls getting into a heated confrontation with Julia Roberts at a Golden Globes party in 1990. (Photo by Mireya Acierto/Getty Images) And considering Roberts was one of the biggest young stars in Hollywood at the time, Douglas probably should have thought twice before picking a fight. According to Douglas, he was attending the party after being nominated for his work in Wall Street. He had also brought his then-13-year-old son, Cameron, as his date. Roberts was there with her then-fiancé, Kiefer Sutherland. The pair were working with Douglas on Flatliners, the supernatural thriller that Douglas produced. At one point during the party, Douglas spotted Roberts with her arm around Cameron. “We were at the bar, and Julia had her arm around my son, kind of nuzzling him,” Douglas writes in the memoir. “To me, in that moment, he looked stunned… but I was pretty drunk.” Douglas says he confronted Roberts and told her: “Take your hands off my son and take that Golden Globe and stick it where the sun don’t shine.” Needless to say, this was not exactly the best way to handle a potentially uncomfortable situation. The next morning, Douglas got a call from his producing partner, Rick Bieber, who apparently had some explaining to do. “I’d crossed a line with the most in-demand young actress in Hollywood,” Douglas acknowledges. Douglas quickly realized he had made a serious mistake. He sent Roberts flowers along with a note and later apologized to both Roberts and Sutherland in person at the Flatliners production office. Fortunately, the apology was apparently enough to keep the movie from becoming a complete disaster. “Luckily, they forgave me enough to get through that and finish the picture,” Douglas writes. But there was a catch. “I remained friends with Kiefer. Julia, not so much.” Douglas is refreshingly candid about everything from his brief separation from Catherine Zeta-Jones to his substance abuse struggles in One Helluva Ride. And he admits to years of heavy drinking and cocaine use. Looking back decades later, it seems the actor has little trouble identifying that particular Golden Globes incident as one of the moments when his behavior got the better of him. And while the apology may have saved Flatliners, it apparently wasn’t enough to restore his friendship with Roberts.

Janelle Brown SLAMS Kody Brown & His ‘Sister Wives’ Apology Tour: …
Reading Time: 3 minutes Janelle Brown has some harsh words for her ex-husband. Last season of Sister Wives saw Kody Brown’s awkward apology tour. It didn’t go over very well. Now, he and Robyn have left Sister Wives, leaving audiences and exes alike reacting to his abrupt departure. In that context, Janelle is seeing Kody’s “apologies” for what they are. And she’s not having it. (Image Credit: TLC) Janelle Brown is putting Kody on blast On the Season 21 premiere of Sister Wives, Janelle, Meri, and Christine all reacted to Kody and Robyn Brown’s departure. In turn, they reflected upon their final on-camera interactions with the failed polygamist. Janelle fixed her attentions upon Kody traveling across the country to give each ex-wife a face-to-face apology. Despite everything, the two ended things on a relative high note during Season 20. (Some argue that this is one of the perks of being the middle one to leave.) In hindsight, however, Janelle has some very different feelings about Kody’s BS apologies. “I feel like the apology tour was, in the end, something [Kody] was trying to redeem himself with,” Janelle assessed. “And I don’t think it was necessarily that sincere,” she opined. Janelle explained that she doubts his sincerity “because there’s been no contact since then.” There was more to it than Kody giving her what some might consider a gift — not hearing from Kody. According to her, her ex-husband also engaged in some divide-and-conquer tactics among his ex-wives. (Image Credit: TLC) ‘F–k him’ Janelle Brown explained to the camera that Kody had been “very publicly” torpedoing “my character.” At the Season 20 Tell-All, the widely reviled ex-polygamist had claimed that Janelle had tried to “backdoor deal” with him over the Coyote Pass property. His claim was that this had been behind Meri’s back. And it seems that Meri might have taken his words to heart. Janelle strongly disputes this allegation, and summarizes her thoughts on Kody very succinctly. “F–k him,” she declared. Good for her. (Image Credit: TLC) Janelle sat down with Christine to vent about Kody’s claim about her alleged schemes. She flat-out called it a manufactured “story,” labeling it a “parting gift” from Kody. “This accusation not only felt very personal, like a final F-you as he was leaving,” Janelle described. She despaired: “But everyone is believing him and Meri’s even like, ‘I don’t know.’ I’m like, ‘What the hell?’” Perhaps Season 21 will see some sort of resolution as Janelle hopefully stamps out this rumor.

Billy Ray Cyrus Reacts to Miley Cyrus Dropping Last Name: ‘Family Means More Than …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Miley Cyrus is apparently ready to ditch her last name. And, surprisingly, her famous father has no problem with it. Billy Ray Cyrus addressed his daughter’s decision to drop their shared surname on Wednesday, and considering the pair’s complicated history, his reaction was about as supportive as it gets. Miley Cyrus and her father Billy-Ray Cyrus perform on the Pyramid Stage on day five of Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm, Pilton on June 30, 2019 in Glastonbury, England. (Photo by Leon Neal/Getty Images) Miley recently wiped “Cyrus” from her social media handles and began identifying herself simply as “Miley.” The timing is notable, as the singer is preparing to enter a new musical era with her upcoming 10th studio album, Bass Persuades. And while fans were left wondering whether the name change had anything to do with her family, Billy Ray, 65, appears to be taking the whole thing in stride. On Wednesday, the country singer shared a throwback photo of himself with a young Miley and her brother, Braison Cyrus, while explaining that he has always called his daughter by her first name anyway. “Family means more than ever now,” Billy Ray wrote before explaining that he has always called his daughter simply “Miley.” He then revealed that he had spoken with her about the decision and told her he felt good about her going by her first name. Naturally, Billy Ray had a few famous examples to point to. He compared Miley’s move to legendary artists including Cher, Elvis, Prince, and the late Dolly Parton — all of whom managed to become household names without exactly needing a surname attached. Billy Ray even joked that he had once considered going by “Cyrus” himself before his record label apparently had other ideas. “I could have done something!!! Ha ha !!!” he wrote. So, no, Billy Ray doesn’t seem particularly offended that his daughter is stepping away from the family name professionally. That’s perhaps for the best, considering the father and daughter have spent years navigating a very public estrangement. Billy Ray and Miley’s relationship became strained following his 2022 divorce from Miley’s mother, Tish Cyrus. At one point, reports suggested Miley had little interest in repairing the relationship. But time, as it turns out, appears to have done some of its famous healing. The pair reunited in 2025, and Miley later acknowledged that she and her father had experienced “challenges” but said that family had become her priority. She also released the song “Secrets,” which she described as a peace offering for someone she had “lost for a time but always loved.” That someone was her dad. Now Miley is apparently entering another chapter, one where she needs only one name. And Billy Ray seems perfectly happy to let her be just… Miley.

Stella Lefty: ‘Ultimate Nepo Baby’ Accused of Ripping Off Noah Kahan Song
Reading Time: 2 minutes If you’ve listened to contemporary radio at all in recent months, then there’s a good chance that you’ve encountered Stella Lefty’s hit single “Boston.” It might be second only to Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” as the song of the summer — but many listeners feel like they’ve heard it somewhere before. Yes, Lefty — who is the daughter of billionaire Groupon founder and Tempus AI CEO Eric Lefkofsky — has been accused of plagiarizing Noah Kahan’s hit “Stick Season.” Stella Lefty performs at Diploâs HonkyTonk during the 2026 Stagecoach Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 25, 2026 in Indio, California. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Stagecoach) Stella’s fans have ardently defended her, but the similarities between the two melodies are undeniable (we’ve included music videos for both songs below). That doesn’t mean that the young singer-songwriter intentionally ripped off Kahan, of course. But whatever the case, this probably isn’t how Stella had hoped to kick off her career. She has her first major hit — the song currently sits at number two on the Billboard charts, behind, of course, “Choosin’ Texas.” But across social media, Stella is earning more scorn than praise at the moment. Her situation is not helped by the fact that her dad is worth over $6 billion and made much of that wealth from AI — tech that’s not especially beloved by folks working in creative fields at the moment. Lefty’s career trajectory has drawn comparisons to other “nepo babies” currently churning out mainstream hits, especially Gracie Abrams. But at least Gracie’s dad, J.J. Abrams, is a beloved filmmaker. To many, her rise seems a little more organic due to the fact that she’s the daughter of a writer-director, not an entrepreneur. Is that assessment fair? Not necessarily, but as we’re often reminded in 2026, public opinion is rarely governed by logic. Of course, for most of her detractors, Stella’s greatest sin is her alleged act of plagiarism. Lefty may not have helped her case when she granted a co-songwriting credit to Kahan, but if that move enabled her to avoid a messy lawsuit, then it was probably a smart one. After all, nepo babies are the norm throughout the entertainment industry today. In fact, it’s hard to think of a current rising star who doesn’t have at least one parent with their own Wikipedia page. But taking advantage of inherited wealth and privilege is one thing, and ripping off a beloved recent hit song is quite another. “When I was writing the song, I wasn’t thinking about Noah Kahan. I was literally thinking about nothing at all,” Stella told Vanity Fair (via Variety). But as many online sleuths have pointed out, Kahan seems to be on her mind quite a bit. In videos posted to YouTube, she’s covered several of his songs — including “Stick Season” — and she’s often cited him as one of her biggest influences. So yeah … consciously or otherwise, Stella seems to have been influenced by Noah. As her signature song approaches 200 million streams on Spotify, it seems that Ms. Lefty’s fans are unconcerned about “Boston”‘s origins.

Erin Andrews, 48, Says She’s ‘Not Done’ Trying For More Kids
Reading Time: 2 minutes Erin Andrews has been through more than enough heartbreak on her journey to motherhood. But the Fox Sports broadcaster isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. Andrews, 48, revealed that she and husband Jarret Stoll are still hoping to welcome a second child, despite years of fertility struggles and a devastating surrogate miscarriage. Erin Andrews attends the 2024 Fox Upfront at The Ritz-Carlton Nomad on May 13, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Roy Rochlin/Getty Images) “It’s a lot harder at 48 than I ever thought it would be,” Andrews admitted during a recent interview (via Penn Live). Still, anyone expecting Andrews to quietly accept defeat clearly doesn’t know her very well. “For some reason, I don’t take ‘no’ or bad visits very well,” she said. “I said to my doctor the other day, ‘I’m not done.’” Andrews and Stoll, a former NHL player, became parents to son Mack in July 2023 after a lengthy fertility journey that included IVF and ultimately surrogacy. The couple’s dream of giving Mack a sibling suffered a devastating blow in May 2025, when they learned that their surrogate had miscarried. Andrews subsequently spoke openly about the loss, refusing to sugarcoat an experience that so many couples endure privately. “I’m not going to freaking candy-coat this anymore,” she previously said of her decision to be candid about her fertility struggles (via Us Weekly). Now, she insists she isn’t finished trying. “I’m very, very interested in continuing this whole thing and seeing what I can do,” Andrews said. The broadcaster acknowledged that she’s faced plenty of difficult chapters in her life before — and she’s managed to come through them. “Listen, I feel like I’ve been through a lot before, and I’ve come out on the other side,” she said. “So I’m ready to rewrite a little history with this too.” For Erin, that history includes another major battle. September marks 10 years since Andrews was diagnosed with cervical cancer after a routine screening in 2016. She underwent two surgeries and was declared cancer-free in 2017. The experience also dramatically changed her perspective on her health and her future family. Andrews has since become an advocate for early cancer detection, while also reaching a significant milestone in her own follow-up care: She now sees her oncologist annually rather than every six months. And having Mack has only made taking care of herself more important. “Everything takes on a different meaning when you have this little, 3-year-old bundle of joy,” she said. “You’ve got to take care of yourself. You need to take care of him. You need to take care of your mental health even more because it’s a lot.” As for the possibility of another baby? Erin isn’t putting a deadline on her dream. She also isn’t pretending the process is easy. Erin Andrews, 48, Says She’s ‘Not Done’ Trying For More Kids was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Dolly Parton Hollywood Star VANDALIZED for Some Awful Reason
Reading Time: 2 minutes Who would vandalize Dolly Parton’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star? The American cultural icon passed away on August 25 at the age of 80. Though she was almost universally beloved and thus almost universally mourned, someone has vandalized her star in Hollywood. Repairs are already underway. But who did this? Cultural icon Dolly Parton attends the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3, 2016. (Photo Credit: David Becker/Getty Images) Who vandalized Dolly Parton’s Hollywood star? For the past week, fans have been leaving items in tribute at Dolly Parton’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star to express their love and their grief. All over the world, people have been mourning the icon — for her music, her acting, her philanthropy, and for being a fundamentally good person. Hollywood Walk of Fame producer Ana Martinez reported that the star, at 6710-1712 Hollywood Boulevard, appears to have been vandalized, NBC Los Angeles reports. It appears that the star has been defaced with a series of scratches. Though flowers and other items were present out of love, it is unclear what could motivate someone to attack a symbol of Dolly’s indelible legacy. Dolly Parton’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was recently vandalised, with her name being scratched off. Repairs are reportedly underway. pic.twitter.com/V2pVcLTUY6 — Pop Base (@PopBase) September 1, 2026 Repairs are already underway — beginning on Tuesday, September 1. Unfortunately, this meant that flowers and other items had to be removed in order to make way for the repairs. The Hollywood Historic Trust maintains and repairs these stars. At this time, it is unclear if law enforcement is looking into the alleged vandalism. However, we hope that the star has a full restoration in short order — and never faces disfigurement again. Dolly Parton Star Hollywood Walk of Fame Fans pay tribute #Dolly #Hollywood #USDemocracy [image or embed] — Ruben Garcia (@gorubenruben.bsky.social) August 26, 2026 at 11:24 AM Could there be some innocent explanation? One would hope that the marks, which appear to be scratches, are some sort of accident. Days of intense foot traffic can sometimes lead to damage to sites that people intended to honor and respect. That can apply to memorials, Hollywood stars, or even Stonehenge. Foot traffic is almost always destructive. In some places, like boats, specific types of shoes tend to leave permanent damage. It is preferable to believe that the marks are tragic accidents than the alternatives. Did someone try to take part of her star as a keepsake? That … seems unlikely, given the evidence. Did someone lash out at the star out of misplaced anger or jealousy? We do not know, unfortunately. Dolly Parton was one of the most gifted songwriters of the past century, and she had the Grammy Awards to prove it. A Country singer, she was internationally beloved by an audience far larger than most Country singers can boast. Why? Because she was a profoundly good person who accumulated a vast fortune and used that money towards positive ends, from funding vaccine research to helping thousands of children develop a love of reading. She was a Country star, a movie star, an LGBTQ+ icon, and an American cultural institution unto herself. We all dearly miss her.

Travis Kelce Shares One Big Regret About Wedding to Taylor Swift, Honors ‘Best …
Reading Time: 2 minutes Travis Kelce would change one thing about his wedding to Taylor Swift, if he could. Don’t worry — it isn’t the bride. Speaking on the season premiere of his podcast, Travis gushed about his nuptials. He also gave a special shout-out to one special person from the ceremony. That wasn’t Taylor, either. On the September 2, 2026 premiere of his ‘New Heights’ podcast, Travis Kelce casually flashes his wedding ring. (Image Credit: YouTube) Travis Kelce is opening up about his wedding On the Wednesday, September 2 episode of the New Heights podcast, hosts Travis and Jason Kelce ushered in the new season. Episodes have aired following Travis’ wedding to Taylor Swift. However, those podcast episodes were filmed in advance of the big day. This time, the football player slash trophy husband showed off his golden wedding band while discussing the July 3 nuptials. “It’s a night out we’ll never forget,” Travis gushed about his wedding. “Me and Taylor are so thankful for everybody that showed up,” Travis affirmed. He expressed that he had a great time “from the vows to just seeing everyone, to how much fun we had, throughout the entire evening.” Travis continued: “And hearing that, kind of be relayed through everybody’s stories of the night.” He raved: “And it was just so magical, man.” Weddings tend to be stressful to plan, and the nuptials can feel like you’re on a knife’s edge. But when it goes well, a successful wedding is a cherished memory for years to come. In this case, just shy of two months. What was Travis’ one regret about his wedding to Taylor? Travis Kelce admitted that there was one thing that he would have changed about his nuptials, if he could. “I wish it could have lasted even longer than it did,” Travis admitted. “It felt like it just happened in the blink of an eye,” he admitted. Jason, his brother and co-host, joked: “They kicked us out.” Travis acknowledged: “Well, once the drinks stopped being served, everyone kinda just starts to, you know, mosey out.” During the same episode, Travis was also sure to gush about the “best f–king person” at his wedding. And no, it was not his wife. “I can’t say thank you to everyone without giving a special thank you to the Adam Sandler,” he announced. Sandler was not only a guest but the officiant of the wedding. Travis also had a cameo in Happy Gilmore 2. “He’s been just the best f–king person on this planet,” Travis praised. We’re sure that Travis is busy with his ball games coming back into season (there’s something called a “pre-season” and a “post-season” too, we’ve learned), but it was nice of him to take the time to share details.

‘Dancing With the Stars’ Season 35 Cast Includes 3 Celebs Who Are…Sort …
Reading Time: 2 minutes The cast for Dancing With the Stars Season 35 was revealed today. And three of the contestants are raising eyebrows among fans who feel they have an unfair advantage. Jenna Dewan is a former pro dancer who starred in the dance film Step Up. And while Julia Stiles was never a professional dancer, per se, one of her most famous roles is Save the Last Dance — in which she did a whole lot of dancing. Julia Stiles attends SNL50: The Homecoming Concert at Radio City Music Hall on February 14, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) And that brings us to Harry Shum Jr. who worked as a pro dancer before appearing in such films as Step Up 2 and Step Up 3D. Basically, the rest of the cast may want to start worrying now. But who knows? Everyone loves an upset. And here’s the full list of stars who will be competing with Jenna, Julia, and Harry for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. Tatyana Ali and Jan Ravnik The former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star is also joining the competition. Ali has enjoyed a lengthy career as an actress, singer and author, and she’s a five-time NAACP Image Award winner. She’ll be hoping that experience helps when the judges start handing out scores. Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart Yes, that Taylor Hanson. The musician, who formed Hanson with his brothers Isaac and Zac as a child, will attempt to turn “MMMBop” into Mirrorball material. We can only hope the choreography includes at least one dramatic ’90s throwback. Giada De Laurentiis and Alan Bersten The Food Network icon is trading pasta for cha-cha. The Emmy-winning chef, cookbook author, and restaurateur will bring her culinary celebrity to the ballroom, though unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that making a plate of pasta earns bonus points from the judges. Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov The Olympic gold medalist and three-time U.S. national champion figure skater certainly knows a thing or two about performing under pressure. Glenn made history at the 2026 Olympics, including becoming the first U.S. woman to land three triple Axels at a single Games. Tyler Cameron and Sharna Burgess The former Bachelorette heartthrob is back in the reality TV spotlight — this time without roses. Cameron will compete with returning pro Sharna Burgess. Also joining the cast are Summer House star Ciara Miller, Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson, comedian Connor Wood, Love Thy Nader star Sarah Jane Nader, Secret Lives of Mormon Wives personality Conner Leavitt (whose wife, Whitney Leavitt, competed last season), Paralympic champion Ezra Frech, Traitors runner-up Maura Higgins and Jimmy Kimmel sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez.

Sadie Sink Thirst-Traps in Wet & Wild Underwear Ad
Reading Time: 2 minutes Sadie Sink is making a major splash for Calvin Klein. On the heels of her Spider-Man (and broader MCU) debut, the Stranger Things alum is turning up the heat. Sink is showing off her jaw-dropping body in multiple undergarments — all in the name of fashion. At one point, she gets soaking wet in her white cotton underwear. Sadie Sink attends the Los Angeles Premiere of Columbia Pictures’ “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” at Dolby Theatre on July 27, 2026. (Photo Credit: Brianna Bryson/WireImage) Sadie Sink has our attention As part of the “Feel the Fit” denim campaign, Sadie Sink flaunted her incredible figure in high-rise loose jeans. The 24-year-old actress danced around to Willa Ford’s “I Wanna Be Bad,” even pulling the classic hairbrush-as-a-microphone bit. Wearing dark clothes allowed both her fair skin and gleaming red hair to pop vibrantly. Addition, the close-up shots of her body as she dressed were a treat for the eyes. Sink’s other had, however, proved to be even spicier. 𝚜𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚎 𝚜𝚒𝚗𝚔 [image or embed] — 𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚔 (@milkd.bsky.social) September 1, 2026 at 10:18 AM The ad where Sink is hanging out in her Calvin Klein underwear is more overtly stunning. She does, eventually, pull on a pair of ’90s straight jeans. This is not before we see a close up of the process by which she gets dressed. Or, in this case, half-dressed. However, as you can see, putting on a little clothing does not end the ad. This appears to be a legally distinct nod to her MCU role When Sadie Sink is … let’s call it “dressed” … the electronics in the kitchen seem to go haywire. The sink (get it, sink?) also loses it as if possessed, splashing her with water. Sink is, at this point, still wearing thin white undergarments that do not necessarily shelter her body from the water. The ad is still safe to share on even the most prudish social media sites, like Instagram, but the vibes are deeply horny. She looks great. Seriously. Sadie Sink [image or embed] — Mystrali (@mystrali.bsky.social) September 1, 2026 at 5:50 AM Though wearing Calvin Klein clothes will probably not make you look like her, the implication seems to be that you’ll never know unless you try. Without spoiling her character in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and in the upcoming X-Men films in the MCU, you could argue that this is a nod to her portrayal of a classic Marvel Comics character. But you could just as easily say that her kitchen is losing its mind because she’s just so hot. This is an effective ad campaign, and without the unfortunate memes that Tate McRae’s dance is eliciting. Even people who aren’t going to rush out to buy their own Calvins are going to have a new reason to look forward to May 2028, the projected release date for the MCU’s first big (new) X-Men project.

Tiger Woods Pleads Guilty, Gets License Suspended For 5 Years as Judge Threatens Jail Time
Reading Time: 2 minutes When Tiger Woods was arrested on DUI charges back in March, it looked like the golf legend — who was not a first-time offender — might wind up behind bars. But in a Florida courtroom Wednesday morning, Woods accepted a plea deal and once again avoided jail time. As part of the deal, Woods pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of reckless driving and also resolved a charge related to refusing to submit to a lawful test. He was additionally found guilty of careless driving. Tiger Woods speaks onstage during the Tiger Woods Foundation’s 20th Anniversary Celebration at the New York Public Library on October 20, 2016 in New York City. (Photo by Nicholas Hunt/Getty Images) The biggest consequence is that Tiger will be without a driver’s license for the next five years. He also agreed to pay fines totaling $1,500, according to ESPN. Woods arrived at the Martin County Courthouse with his girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, and his attorney, Doug Duncan. The 15-time major champion kept a low profile during the hearing, saying little as the case was resolved. The legal saga began on March 27, when Woods was arrested following a rollover crash near his Florida home. His SUV clipped a trailer being hauled by a truck before rolling onto its side. Woods was not seriously injured, and no one else was reported hurt. According to the arrest affidavit, Woods told authorities that he had been looking down at his cellphone and changing the radio station when he failed to notice a truck slowing down. Deputies who responded to the scene reportedly observed signs they considered concerning, including Woods allegedly sweating heavily and moving in a “lethargic and slow” manner. Woods initially pleaded not guilty to DUI and refusal to submit to a lawful test. That strategy has now changed considerably. Under Wednesday’s agreement, the DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving, while the testing-related charge was resolved separately. The five-year license suspensions attached to the charges will run concurrently, meaning Woods isn’t facing a decade-long driving ban. Still, five years is hardly a minor inconvenience. The judge also made clear that Woods can’t simply decide the rules don’t apply to him. He made it clear that driving while his license is suspended will result in additional legal consequences, including jail time. For one of the most famous athletes on the planet, the situation represents another difficult chapter in a life and career that have been marked by spectacular highs and very public lows. And now, apparently, Tiger Woods has one more thing to work on: finding a chauffeur.

Tate McRae Clowned as ‘Gary The Snail’ After Cringe Calvin Klein Ad
Reading Time: 2 minutes The reactions to the Tate McRae Calvin Klein ads aren’t overwhelmingly positive. Yes, the singer looks incredible — and hot. The dance looks a little awkward, however. (There’s a reason for that.) And the memes? The memes are a little unkind. Tate McRae attends the 2026 Met Gala celebrating “Costume Art” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 04, 2026. (Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) Why are people comparing Tate McRae to a snail? Calvin Klein is featuring Tate McRae for their Fall 2026 advertisements. Like most worthwhile clothing ads, the campaign seems to be more about hiring a really hot person than anything that the clothing is doing. (That is not a criticism! Obsessing over clothing models is an adolescent rite of passage for a reason.) In the ad, you can see McRae very clearly wears jeans. They’re not even low-riders, but hey also don’t need to be. She dances around to “Groove Is in the Heart” by Deee-Lite. As you can see, McRae’s dancing looks a little awkward. In her defense, that is likely because she reportedly only had about 20 minutes to learn the dance for the ad. (Learning choreography is challenging! We learn best by practicing, especially if we get to sleep between practices in order to better internalize our experiences.) Critics have said that it shows. Another flavor of critics have asked why other dances that they’ve seen appear to be nearly as awkward. That’s not to say that the ad has been universally panned. Numerous people have come out of the woodwork to express their, well, lust after watching her dance.

(It seems that Calvin Klein is not bearing the brunt of the blowback.) Some have compared her to Gary the Snail, a fan-favorite character from Spongebob Squarepants. Others have likened her to sea creatures or to cryptids like the Loch Ness Monster. Simply put, some found the perhaps-flattering contortions of her body to be so unnatural that it felt cringe.

It reminds us a little, at times, of over-the-top comic book poses that women, including superheroes, sometimes strike in order to best display their curves to the reader. At the same time … sometimes memes look a lot like bullying because they seem mean-spirited and excessive. McRae looks great, as always. She was a sensible pick for the ad. Hopefully, next time, she’ll have more time to learn choreography so that it can look a little more natural.

Amanda Knox: Comedy Show About Murder Case Draws Outrage From Victim’s Family
Reading Time: 2 minutes Back in 2007, police in Italy arrested American student Amanda Knox following the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher. After being wrongly convicted and imprisoned for four years, Knox was eventually exonerated. Now, she’s revisiting the events of that year in a comedy show called Cartwheel — so named because of the claim that she did a cartwheel after being arrested. And the Kercher family is failing to see the humor in the situation. Amanda Knox attends Hulu’s ‘The Twisted Tale Of Amanda Knox’ New York Premiere at New York Historical Society on August 19, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Santiago Felipe/WireImage) “What I would say [to Knox] is to think about the family here, think about her friends and to turn the tables if it was your sister that this had happened to,” Meredith’s older sister, Stephanie Kercher, told the BBC this week. That’s a pretty difficult request to ignore — particularly considering the tragedy at the center of the story. Meredith was just 21 when she was found stabbed to death in the apartment she shared with Knox while the two were studying abroad in Italy. Knox, however, insists the show isn’t making Meredith’s murder the punchline. The former murder suspect says Cartwheel is instead about the experience of being publicly vilified and the challenges of explaining her past to her children. “I joke a lot about how I was vilified, but I don’t joke about her murder,” Knox told the Telegraph (via Radar Online). And while Knox insists she’s not joking about the murder itself, a petition calling for the show’s cancellation has reportedly collected more than 9,000 signatures. Knox addressed the controversy on Instagram, explaining that Cartwheel is ultimately about motherhood, raising a daughter in what she describes as an unfair and dangerous world, and grappling with how much truth to tell her child. She also claimed the production “honors Meredith Kercher’s memory and calls out the violence that was done to her and to me.” Meredith’s family, however, may not see it quite that way. Rudy Guede, an acquaintance of Knox and Kercher, was ultimately convicted of Meredith’s murder. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison and released in 2021 after serving 13 years. For Knox, the case became the defining trauma of her young adulthood. Now, nearly two decades after Meredith’s death, she’s attempting to reclaim the narrative through comedy. Whether audiences are ready to laugh along is another question entirely.
