Reading Time: 2 minutes Joe Manganiello is one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors. But despite his many years in the spotlight, the photogenic star has managed to keep a tight lid on the details of his personal life. That’s about to change, thanks to a new memoir in which Manganiello opens up about his private struggles, including a series of health issues that nearly claimed his life. Joe Manganiello attends Netflix’s “Nonnas” World Premiere at The Plaza Hotel on April 30, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) In newly published excerpts from Bloodlines, Joe reveals that he endured a devastating seven-year battle with autoimmune-related illnesses that attacked multiple parts of his body and ultimately resulted in a life-saving organ amputation. According to a synopsis for the book, Manganiello’s health began deteriorating after what he describes as a “cascade of autoimmune-related illnesses” affected his skin, thyroid, eyes, lungs, and digestive system. The actor reportedly suffered chronic pain, multiple medical crises, and a prolonged struggle that left doctors unable to provide clear answers about what was happening to him. The health battle eventually led to a life-saving organ amputation, though Manganiello has not publicly disclosed which organ was removed. In a statement to People magazine, Manganiello reflected on the experience and the toll it took on him. “It was the most brutally difficult time of my life, one I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy, but also my greatest adventure,” he said. The 49-year-old explained that his search for answers eventually extended beyond traditional medicine. After doctors were unable to determine the cause of his illnesses, Manganiello turned to alternative paths that included spiritual exploration, genealogy research, ancient myths, and other unconventional practices. That journey reportedly led him to uncover stories about his ancestors, including relatives who survived the Armenian genocide and family members who also struggled with chronic illness. Manganiello says the process of writing Bloodlines helped him make sense of the suffering he endured and gave him a new perspective on his life. He expressed hope that readers facing their own challenges may find encouragement in his story and discover that healing can exist on the other side of even the darkest struggles. The memoir is scheduled for release in October and promises to explore not only Joe’s medical ordeal but also his rise to stardom, his sobriety, and his failed marriage to Sofia Vergara. Fans of Manganiello’s who are just now learning about his health issues will hopefully appreciate the reminder that some of the toughest battles are the ones fought away from the spotlight.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Big Tigger, the longtime Atlanta radio personality and former host of BET’s Rap City, has been arrested on battery and child cruelty charges. According to Fulton County Jail records, Tigger — whose real name is Darian Morgan — was taken into custody on Saturday and booked on charges of battery and third-degree cruelty to children. He was later released after posting a $10,000 bond. Big Tigger speaks onstage at 106 & Park “Reunion” during the BET Experience Fan Fest at Los Angeles Convention Center on June 08, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images for BET) The arrest comes just weeks after Morgan’s wife, Alicia Brown, publicly accused him of physically assaulting her during a domestic dispute. Brown shared photos and videos on social media that appeared to show injuries she allegedly sustained during the incident. According to previous reports, she was later transported to a hospital for treatment. At the time, Morgan strongly denied the allegations. His attorney told TMZ that the claims being made against the radio host were false. Authorities have not confirmed whether the charges filed this weekend stem from the same alleged incident involving Brown. For now, many details remain unclear. What is known is that Morgan, a fixture in Atlanta radio and a familiar face to hip-hop fans from his years hosting Rap City, is now facing serious criminal charges that could have significant legal consequences. On June 12, Morgan shared a social media post in which he addressed the allegations made by Brown. “I want to say categorically these allegations and accusations that have been circulating about me are false, untrue, not happening, didn’t happen,” he said. Neither Morgan nor his representatives have publicly commented on the arrest since the charges were filed. On Monday, Morgan took to social media to share a message reading, “Life is a cruel teacher… She loves to give you the test first, and the lesson later.” We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 2 minutes If you ever doubted that Oprah Winfrey is a good and loyal friend, let this story disabuse you of that notion: More than a decade after Whitney Houston’s tragic death, Oprah just shared a heartbreaking story that the public never knew about. During an appearance at the Cannes Lions Festival this week, Oprah recalled a frightening moment from Houston’s final visit to The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2009. Singer Whitney Houston accepts the Winner of International – Favorite Artist Award onstage at the 2009 American Music Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on November 22, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) According to the Queen of Daytime Talk, Whitney had already completed a powerful interview discussing her struggles with addiction and her hopes for the future. But things took a troubling turn when it came time for the singer to perform. Oprah revealed that Houston was sober when they conducted their backstage conversation before the interview. By the time she returned to the stage to sing, however, Oprah says that had changed. “The first interview I did with her when we’d gone behind stage and I asked about her intentions, she was clean,” Oprah recalled. Oprah Winfrey reveals Whitney Houston once fell off the stage while performing on her show, but she asked the audience not to tell the media about it. "I begged them not to put those pictures out, because it would ruin her life. And they did not." pic.twitter.com/ATri84hsLn — Variety (@Variety) June 23, 2026 “But the day she came to my show to perform in front of the audience, she was not, and she fell off of the stage.” The revelation stunned the audience at Cannes, as the incident was never reported at the time and remained a closely guarded secret for nearly 17 years. Oprah explained that she immediately feared what would happen if images or videos of the fall became public. Houston was attempting a comeback at the time, promoting her album I Look to You and openly discussing her past struggles with substance abuse. “I knew that if that story got out that she’d fallen off the stage, that she would be completely destroyed by that,” Oprah said. Despite the fact that audience members had cameras and could have easily shared photos, Oprah says she personally appealed to them not to do so. “Even though the audience was there and the audience had cameras, I begged them not to put those pictures up because it would ruin her life, and they did not,” she said. Oprah added that she doubts such a request would be honored in today’s social media landscape. “That would not happen today, I can tell you that,” she said. Yes, the world is a very different place in 2026, and we mostly mean that in a bad way. These days, footage of Whitney’s stumble almost certainly would have wound up online, and the comments section would have immediately devolved into the most vile culture war nonsense. Oprah’s compassion toward her troubled friend reminds us all of a time when Americans were generally far more empathetic than they are today — a time that we can hopefully return to someday soon.

Reading Time: 2 minutes This miserable saga doesn’t seem to end. Just last month, Brandi Glanville revealed that her face is “sinking” again after she’d believed that she’d found the cure — and the culprit. Now, she has found what could be either a symptom or a cause of her facial disfigurement. The bad news is that it’s a tumor. On her podcast, Brandi Glanville shared the news of her tumor diagnosis. (Image Credit: YouTube) It’s a tumor ‘in one of my lymph nodes’ During a recent episode of her Unfiltered podcast, Brandi opened up about her diagnosis. She shared that she has been diagnosed with a facial tumor. Though Brandi’s tumor is thankfully benign, that is a technical term for its growth pattern — not for how it impacts her life. In the wrong place, a benign tumor can be potentially fatal. According to Brandi, the tumor has grown “in one of my lymph nodes in my face.” The tumor may be playing a role in her ongoing facial disfigurement battle, which has now been going on for years. “That could be why the fluid is going around my face,” Brandi suggested. She desperately wishes to be able to go back to having a normal life. Well, normal for Brandi, anyway. “I can wear makeup for, like, 15 minutes and then I have to take it off,” she then revealed. Even if she is no longer experiencing tooth-destroying drainage (a symptom that we hope never returns), ‘I haven’t had a facelift yet’ According to Brandi, some doctors had previously dismissed what should have been a tumor diagnosis. She said that they dismissed it as “just scar tissue.” Brandi objected to that theory, asking what may be a very obvious question. “From what?” she asked. “I haven’t had a facelift yet.” Too many, it seems, have assumed that Brandi’s face is a “botched” cosmetic procedure. And she has paid the price. Unfortunately, Brandi Glanville cannot really glam up with her facial symptoms. Not for more than a few minutes at a time. (Image Credit: YouTube) Brandi explained that she only got this diagnosis when she saw a dermatologist who specializes in cancer. She said that a blood test “came back” with the tumor results. “It’s been a long three years,” Brandi lamented. She added: “I just want to put a ton of makeup on again, get my hair extensions. I want to have a glow-up.” We hope that she’s able to address all of her health issues. She deserves to live her life again.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Do you ever make an “inside joke” to a public audience and accidentally horrify them? The trick is to not double down. Or triple down. Someone should maybe tell that to Jenny Mollen. Her latest effort to explain away her PDA controversy with her tween son has her joking that he is a “predator.” Ma’am. On the ‘Not Skinny But Not Fat’ podcast, Jenny Mollen doubled down on her “toxic boyfriend” joke about her son. (Image Credit: YouTube) PHOTO ONE On the Tuesday, June 23 episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Mollen responded to the backlash by joking that her 12-year-old son, Sid, is a “predator.” “If you knew my son, he’s really the predator, not me,” she joked for some reason. “He’s the one who’s f–king all over me,” she continued while speaking to host Amanda Hirsch. “I’ve been trying to lock him out of the bathroom for the last 12 years,” Mollen then joked. She accused, seemingly also in jest: “He just wants my undivided [attention].” Mollen doubled down on the post that landed her in hot water in the first place — the PDA pic with the caption: “Your eldest son will be the most toxic boyfriend you ever have.” She also said that Sid is aware that his mom was trending in a bad way because of it. “He’s like a little spider monkey on me, and I’m in trouble,” she lamented. Mollen continued: “And now he’s like, ‘Get away from me, you molester,’ just to f–k with me.” That is a perfectly fine (and healthy) way for a tween to joke. The issue, however, seems to lie with Mollen’s very public joking without backtracking or, you know, just giving the joke a break. PHOTO THREE Mollen suspects that her recent split from longtime husband Jason Biggs is playing a role in the backlash. “I think if I made this joke a month, or two months ago, it would have played differently,” she suspected. A few months ago, she “was publicly with a man.” Not so in May when she called her son her toxic boyfriend. “And I think that there’s something about a woman who is not attached to a man that somehow reads as a threat, dangerous,” she added. Actually, we cannot rule out that she’s right. But we can say that people who have no idea who she is, and no idea who her ex is, had similar responses to her post to those who do. Joking that Sid is “toxic” is “the joke I’ve been making forever,” she explained. “Like, I’m in this dysfunctional relationship with a guy who’s like, ‘Can you hold my head while I vomit into the toilet?’ ‘Can you give me a full body massage before bed?’ ‘Can you be a dear and put more ice in my water bottle?’ Like, this is the treatment,” Mollen listed. “He’s the dictator,” she joked. “And I live in this autocratic regime where I have to like … it’s like, thumbs up or thumbs down. Off with my head if I f–king serve you sun-butter.” Lots of people have inside jokes about family members that would be appalling to the outside world who are not “in” on the “inside joke.” But they don’t post them to several hundred thousand followers who do not share context with the joke.

Reading Time: 2 minutes We have sad news to report from the world of reality TV. Garcelle Beauvais is grieving the loss of a beloved family member. The former Bravo star — who announced her departure from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last year — announced on Tuesday that her sister, Carole Beauvais, has passed away. Garcelle Beauvais attends as Hearst Magazines hosts the 3rd Annual Women’s Health Lab at The New York Historical on May 18, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images for Hearst Magazines) Garcelle shared the heartbreaking news on social media, posting a collection of photos and memories honoring the woman she described as a constant source of love and support throughout her life. While Garcelle did not disclose a cause of death, her emotional tribute offered a glimpse into the close bond the sisters shared. “My beautiful sister Carole I will miss you so much! I will always remember times where we would laugh so hard it hurts!” the Bravo alum wrote, adding: “I wish we had more time !! I’ll never forget how you showed up when I had the twins and you would sleep in the nursery just so you could help. “And how much you loved Oliver Hope you’re with mom now and the two of you are laughing.” The reality star also recalled a phrase that became a cherished tradition between them. Whenever Garcelle would tell her sister, “I love you,” Carole would always respond with the words, “I love you more.” It’s a simple exchange, but one that now carries even greater meaning in the wake of Carole’s passing. Naturally, many of Garcelle’s celebrity friends were quick to offer their support and condolences: “So sorry Garcelle,” wrote Viola Davis. “My deepest condolences to you and your family. I’m so sorry for your loss. May you find strength, comfort, and peace in the love and support of those around you during this difficult time. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,” Real Housewives of Miami star Kiki Barth added. “Sending you love – I’m so sorry for your loss,” commented Real Housewives of Orange County star Heather Dubrow. While Carole’s age is unknown at this time, Garcelle is only 59, and it seems that her sister’s death was unexpected. We’d like to add our voice to the chorus of those offering condolences at this difficult time.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Over the weekend, the world heard about Nancy Guthrie’s kidnappers offering the safe return of her body in exchange for a ransom. That was obviously a devastating, if unsurprising, development. On Tuesday, Savannah addressed the news as well as she could. She teared up, speaking of the pain that this case continues to bring to her family. An emotional Savannah Guthrie gives a plea on ‘The Today Show’ on June 23, 2026. (Image Credit: NBC) ‘This is unusual and unprecedented’ On The Today Show on Tuesday, June 23, the anchors heard reporting on Nancy Guthrie’s case. One of those anchors was, of course, Savannah herself. She said that she has “no comment” officially and is “not involved” in the “coverage” of her mother’s abduction and likely murder, but she cannot “pretend” that she isn’t there. “This is unusual and unprecedented to say the least to be sitting here,” Savannah acknowledged after Liz Kreutz’s coverage. Earlier this year, Savannah was on a hiatus from work when much of her mother’s abduction was covered. Now, she’s back … and her mother’s case remains part of the news. “So since I am I just wanted to take the opportunity to really ask people and really beg people to come forward because somebody knows something,” Savannah expressed. “This is a news story today that is on your radar,” she acknowledged. “But this is the life my sister, [Annie Guthrie], lives, that I live, that my brother, [Camron Guthrie], lives,” Savannah explained. “That our extended families live, that our children live every day.” She went on to say that she and her relatives remain “in agony” over this case. “We cannot be at peace,” Savannah explained. Wiping away a tear, Savannah Guthrie acknowledged the impact that her mother’s case continues to have on her entire extended family. (Image Credit: NBC) ‘It can be anonymous’ “No matter how much I try to come out here every day and smile and find that joy — and I will, I promise I will,” Savannah vowed. “This is a moment to say we need your help,” she addressed the viewing audience. She explained: “I’m not gonna miss that opportunity.” Savannah emphasized: “No matter how small, the reward is there. You can tell us, it can be anonymous.” She pleaded with viewers — or, more specifically, with one specific unknown viewer: “Please do the right thing.” “We love our mom, and we’ll never stop looking for her. Ever,” Savannah concluded. Craig Melvin agreed, urging any viewers with knowledge to contact the FBI tip line to offer the Guthrie family “a modicum of peace.” He also praised Savannah’s resilience and professionalism. “The bravery and courage with which you have done this job every day since that happened is nothing short of remarkable,” he affirmed. Our thoughts continue to go out to the entire Guthrie family. Savannah Guthrie Tears Up Over Nancy Kidnapping Development: ‘We Cannot Be at … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Reading Time: 2 minutes What do you do when the love of your life turns out to be one of the worst people you’ve ever known? Many shut down, cutting off aspects of their life. It’s a protective instinct while you heal. For Angelina Jolie, who’s now reclaiming her fighting spirit with the emotional support of her (basically all adult) children, maybe it’s time to date again. She’s now confirming that she hasn’t dated since her divorce — ten years ago. Angelina Jolie attends the “Coutures” Première at Pathe Palace on February 09, 2026. (Photo Credit: Aurore Marechal/Getty Images) ‘I haven’t dated since I divorced a decade ago’ During an interview with Yahoo, primarily about her new film, Couture, Angelina discussed her dating history. Or, since her split from Brad Pitt in late 2016, her lack thereof. “To be candid, I haven’t dated since I divorced a decade ago,” Angelina shared. “So I kind of get in my head that that aspect of me is not centered in my life if I’m focusing on my children, my family,” she explained. However, she has very recently come to see that she can be a focused mother and date. In Couture, Angelina portrays Maxine, who is a mother — having one daughter. “It took me a second to kind of say, well, she can also love her daughter and be dedicated to her daughter and also need this as a woman and receive this as a woman,” she reasoned. Sometimes, actors portray roles that help them to explore themselves as people. This is not exclusive to the acting profession. Writers and other storytellers do this too, exploring character and not always leaving the experience unchanged. This can be a dark experience for some. But, for Angelina, it has helped her to process her life and relationships. ‘It’s kind of reminding me what I may have lost’ “Maybe I’ve come around to being a little bit more the person I used to be,” Angelina said as she reflected upon being in her 50s. “I’m discovering something now that my daughters are older,” she shared. “They’re talking to me as young women,” Angelina detailed, “and I’m seeing what I want for them.” She elaborated: “I’m seeing what I don’t want them to lose and what I want them to hold on to.” Angelina admitted: “And it’s kind of reminding me what I may have lost.” “I think in some way they’re bringing me back to my old self,” Angelina said in praise of her daughters. “My desire for them to have all of the strength and openness and softness and faith and ferocity is reminding me,” she affirmed. “I think they kind of want me now to not just be ‘Mom,'” Angelina explained. She added: “There’s a different room for me to be that woman again, that’s not just a mom.” There certainly is! One of the most beautiful women on the planet, who’s incredibly accomplished and famously good, doesn’t need to stop living aspects of her life after one awful man turned her world upside down.

Reading Time: 2 minutes This spring, 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way star Jenny Slatten revealed her ALS diagnosis. She famously moved to India to be with Sumit, who is now her much younger husband. This week, they took to social media to update fans and followers, including those who have donated. How is she doing? What’s their plan for what comes next? ’90 Day Fiance: The Other Way’ fan-favorites Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh spoke to fans in May about Jenny’s ALS. (Image Credit: YouTube) She knows how her ALS is likely to progress At the end of 2025, Jenny received her amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) diagnosis. She and her husband, Sumit Singh, revealed the news in May — addressing rumors about her health. On Monday, June 22, Jenny and Sumit provided an Instagram update on her ALS journey, her treatment, and more. “A lot of people sent us a lot of wishes, love and suggestions [about medical care],” Sumit acknowledged. “So thank you so much for your love and support, it means a lot to us.” Jenny chimed in: “And people have been booking Cameos with us!” Cameo allows public figures to create miniature shout-out videos for pay. It can be very lucrative if someone is willing to commit to generating good videos — and if there is sufficient demand. Sumit also thanked fans for donating to the couple’s GoFundMe, which launched in May. He expressed that they feel “very happy to see that much love [shown] for us.” As of Tuesday, June 23, they have already raised over $60,000 of their $250,000 goal. They explained that they had raised their goal this high after speaking to doctors, who warned of the realities of ALS. How is Jenny doing? “As you can hear, my voice is completely different,” Jenny acknowledged during Monday’s video. “My speech is very slow now,” she added. “I’m still walking, but I get very tired.” Jenny continued: “I’m gonna keep walking, but [I’ll get] a wheelchair probably soon.” Sumit furnished that his beloved wife is “almost very much dependent on herself.” “I’m trying my best,” Jenny affirmed. As fans know, Jenny and Sumit first told their story on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, following Jenny’s move to India to be with the much younger man. Unfortunately, this has left her in a bit of a bind. Jenny does not have health insurance in India. And she is not, at present, have the paperwork to return to the US for long-term care. She and Sumit would only do so if they knew, for sure, that she could get better results in the US than in India. We will keep these two in our thoughts.

Reading Time: 2 minutes With Taylor Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce fast approaching, it seems that the pop icon has not repaired one of her most infamous friendships. Yes, despite reports that the two had buried the hatchet, it seems that Blake Lively still has not been invited to Taylor’s wedding. Earlier reports indicated that Taylor had snubbed two of her former friends — Blake and model Karlie Kloss. But now, Page Six is reporting that Karlie has received an invite, while Blake and husband Ryan Reynolds are still left out in the cold. Blake Lively attends the 2026 Met Gala celebrating “Costume Art” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 04, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) “There hasn’t been an olive branch when it comes to their friendship,” one insider tells Page Six. “And Taylor hasn’t extended a wedding invitation to Blake.” The falling out between Blake and Taylor began as a result of Lively’s sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni. In his countersuit, Baldoni alleged that Blake used her friendship with Taylor as leverage to gain power over him while the two co-starred the 2024 film It Ends With Us. The legal battle dragged on for months, and insiders say Taylor deeply resented being dragged into the drama. One insider claimed that Taylor was “taking a break from their friendship right now,” adding: “Taylor is really hurt by this whole situation and feels like a pawn.” Another stated that “Taylor wants nothing to do with this whole ordeal. She has always been a loyal friend to Blake and doesn’t appreciate being thrown into this at all.” But once a settlement had been reached, there were reports that Blake and Taylor had decided to try and revive their longstanding friendship. Back in May, a source claimed that “everyone around Taylor is aware that Blake could attend” the ceremony, while another claimed that Lively was “slowly getting back into the fold.” However, it seems that Taylor and Blake just weren’t able to settle their differences in time for Swift to feel comfortable inviting Lively to the wedding of the year. Taylor and Travis have tried to keep a lid on the details of their wedding, but insiders say the reception will take place at Madison Square Garden on July 3. It’s even been rumored that Swift and Kelce are already legally married, which is a common practice among celebs and other wealthy folks who want to tie the knot in one state but host a big, lavish ceremony in another. Whatever the case, it seems that Blake will not be in attendance on Taylor’s big day. It’s yet another setback in what’s been a very rocky year for the actress. Once again, It Ends With Us is proving itself to be the most ironically titled movie in Hollywood history.

Reading Time: 2 minutes We have tragic news to report from the world of online media today. Jill Smokler, the founder of the groundbreaking parenting platform Scary Mommy, has passed away at the age of 48. The bestselling author and mother of three died this week after fighting glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer she publicly revealed in 2024. “It’s with broken hearts that we share that Jill passed away this morning, after a more than two-year fight with glioblastoma. She faced it the way she faced everything — funny, fierce, and completely herself,” reads a social media post announcing Jill’s passing. “She was so many things: a New York Times bestselling author, a founder, a truth-teller. But the thing she was proudest of, always, was being a mother — to Lily, Ben, and Evan.” The Scary Mommy brand also shared a statement on Monday: “Jill spent her life telling the truth about motherhood — that it could be wonderful and impossible in the very same breath — and in doing so, she gave millions of women permission to stop pretending and feel a little less alone,” the statement read. (ScaryMommy.com) “She was funny, fearless, generous, and entirely herself. More than anything she built, Jill was proudest of her three children, Lily, Ben, and Evan. We are heartbroken to lose her, and endlessly proud of the mark she left on the world.” Smokler launched Scary Mommy in 2008 while raising three young children as a stay-at-home mom. What began as a personal blog quickly evolved into one of the internet’s most influential parenting communities. Her candid, often hilarious takes on motherhood resonated with readers who appreciated her refusal to sugarcoat the realities of parenting. Smokler later authored two books, Confessions of a Scary Mommy and Motherhood Comes Naturally (and Other Vicious Lies), while also making appearances on shows like Today and Good Morning America. In May 2024, Smokler revealed that she had been diagnosed with glioblastoma after suffering a seizure. At the time, she addressed the news with the same honesty and dark humor that had made her famous. “Glioblastoma was not on my 2024 bingo card, alas here we are,” she wrote. “Life changes fast, friends.” Despite the devastating diagnosis, Smokler continued sharing updates with followers and speaking openly about the realities of living with terminal cancer. In an interview following her diagnosis, she explained that her focus remained on spending time with her children. “All I want to do is spend time with my kids,” she said. “It’s so ridiculously bittersweet.” Our thoughts go out to Jill’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

Reading Time: 2 minutes The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother has taken another heartbreaking turn. According to a new report from Air Mail, one of the ransom notes allegedly sent by Nancy Guthrie’s kidnappers included an apology for the 84-year-old’s death, and it appeared to suggest that her body could be returned in exchange for money. Nancy vanished from her Tucson home on February 1, setting off a massive search effort and an investigation that remains unsolved nearly five months later. A photograph of Nancy Guthrie is seen on a sign that people can leave messages on February 26, 2026, in Tucson, Arizona. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images) Authorities have long believedmthat Nancy was abducted. In the days following her disappearance, several ransom messages surfaced. One of the earliest notes reportedly demanded $4 million in Bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return and warned that the price would increase if payment was not made by a specified deadline. But according to new reports, a subsequent message sent on February 6 struck a noticeably different tone. Sources familiar with the investigation claim the note contained an apology for Nancy’s death and floated the possibility of returning her remains for a payment that was never clearly specified. Nancy Guthrie is still missing, several weeks after being taken from her home in February. (YouTube) The report alleges that investigators attempted to trace the sender by transferring a small amount of cryptocurrency to the Bitcoin wallet connected to the ransom demand. The hope was that the sender would move the funds and create a digital trail for authorities to follow. But that never happened. The money reportedly sat untouched, and some observers now believe the failed strategy may have cost investigators a critical opportunity during the earliest days of the case. Throughout the ordeal, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have made repeated public pleas for information. In emotional social media videos released earlier this year, Savannah, Annie, and Camron Guthrie addressed whoever may have taken their mother, urging them to come forward and promising they were willing to pay for Nancy’s return. After receiving the February 6 communication, the family reportedly responded publicly, pleading for Nancy to be brought home. Later that month, Savannah even offered $1 million for information that could lead to answers about her mother’s fate. Despite months of investigation, authorities have not identified the person responsible for Nancy’s disappearance. Security footage reportedly captured a suspect near Nancy’s residence on the night she vanished, but no arrests have been made and the case remains open. For now, Savannah and her family are still searching for answers — and hoping that someone, somewhere, knows what happened to Nancy Guthrie.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Sunday marked the first Father’s Day since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in September of last year. And his widow, Erika Kirk, marked the occasion with a heartbreaking tribute to the late father of two. Erika shared an emotional tribute to her late husband over the weekend, marking the first Father’s Day since the conservative activist’s death in September 2025. Erika Kirk speaks during the memorial service for her husband, political activist Charlie Kirk at State Farm Stadium on September 21, 2025 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) In a heartfelt Instagram post, Erika reflected on the pain of celebrating the holiday without Charlie while also honoring the legacy he left behind for their two young children. “Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy,” she wrote alongside family photos and videos featuring Charlie with their daughter and son. She went on to say that she “still wrote you your letter,” suggesting that this was an annual Father’s Day tradition in the Kirk family. “They miss you. I miss you. I just can’t help but thank you, endlessly today. Thank you for loving us so well. Thank you for making me a wife and a mother,” Erika wrote, adding: “Thank you for our two precious babies that carry pieces of you with them. Thank you for all the times you’ve prayed over our family. “Thank you for living your life in such a way to be an incredible example to other Fathers. Thank you for all the sacrifices you’ve made. You will forever be an extraordinary father. Forever. “Today in our hearts we celebrate you like your favorite TPUSA AmFest 2024 walkout. “You’d always say more fog, more sparklers, more bass and then next with the babies in our arms walking off stage. Our love was integrated, and that is how it’ll remain.” The post quickly drew an outpouring of support from followers, many of whom offered prayers and words of encouragement as the family continues to navigate an unimaginable loss. Charlie’s death shocked supporters across the country and left Erika raising the couple’s two children on her own. Since then, Erika has frequently used social media to share memories of her husband while documenting her family’s grieving process. She has also spoken publicly about the difficulty of moving forward without the man she once described as “the love of my life.” Despite the heartbreak, Erika has repeatedly emphasized her faith and her determination to preserve Charlie’s memory for their children. Following his death, she stepped into a leadership role at Turning Point USA and vowed to continue the work that meant so much to her husband. Father’s Day served as another painful reminder of what the family has lost, but it was also a celebration of what remains. Through photographs, memories, and stories shared with their children, Erika made it clear that Charlie’s presence continues to be felt long after his passing. And while this first Father’s Day without him was undoubtedly difficult, she appears determined to ensure that her children never forget the father who loved them so deeply.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian welcomed baby Rocky Thirteen over two years ago. Naturally, she showered him with love an affection in a public display of affection for Father’s Day. Of course, fans couldn’t help but noticing a major snub in the process. Scott Disick is her ex, but he is the father of three of her kids. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker attend the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater on January 15, 2024. (Photo Credit: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images) ‘Baby daddy’ Kourt spent much of the weekend broadcasting her good times with her family. On Sunday, June 21, she publicly showered Travis Barker with love. He is her husband. He is also the father of her youngest child, 2-year-old Rocky Thirteen. “Baby daddy,” Kourtney wrote on Instagram alongside a black heart emoji. Notably, baby daddy is an AAVE term that is very useful — to describe a man, often who is not one’s current partner, who is the father of one’s child. Travis is her actual husband. Sure enough, much of the content that Kourtney shared involved Travis’ parenting. She and her family visited Lake Como, Italy back in the summer of 2025. She shared throwbacks. (Among other things, Villa del Balbianello — which overlooks the famous lake — appears in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.) Kourt’s posts showcased Travis at his most paternal, spending time with precious little Rocky. But was there something missing from her posts? Yes. Yes there was. Commenters were quick to note that Kourtney Kardashian has another baby daddy. (Image Credit: Instagram) That’s a wrap on Father’s Day! And no celebration or acknowledgment for Scott Disick, it seems. Obviously, Kourtney is pretty famously no longer with Scott. That entanglement ended in the Beforetimes. But Scott is not only still close with some members of her family (like Kris and Khloe), but he’s the father of three of Kourt’s kids. Kourtney isn’t a corporation. Fathering Mason, Penelope, and Reign doesn’t give Scott a majority share or whatever. But barring situations where a father is terrible or the exes hate each other, it’s not unusual for moms to give a shout-out to the former partner who fathered three of their kids. Obviously, some of Kourt’s fans took to her comments to remind her that Travis is only one of the fathers in her life. (In fact, it’s believed that some of her kids don’t care for Travis or for the marriage.) Some say that this is just another example of Kourtney disappearing in Travis’ slender shadow. Others, however, say that she’s just gushing about her husband and doesn’t feel the need to performatively celebrate the ex who went on a bender and boned every 19-year-old model within arm’s reach while she stayed home with the kids like an adult. If Mason, Penelope, and Reign feel the need to celebrate Scott, they’re welcome to do so. Kourt has moved on.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Last week, Jelly Roll filed to divorce his wife of the past decade. Both partners had discussed a number of marital issues, even if it never quite read as “divorce hype.” Now, Bunnie Xo has opened up about the split — growing tearful, but also putting a positive spin on things. Also … they’re still having a baby together? As exes? Growing tearful at times, Bunnie Xo discussed the end of her marriage on her ‘Dumb Blonde’ podcast. (Image Credit: YouTube) ‘I ended up leaving’ Days after the divorce news broke, Bunnie Xo took to her Dumb Blonde podcast to directly address the divorce. “On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, and in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and I said, ‘Well, then file the f–king divorce papers,'” she recalled. Ordinarily, she clarified, “I’m not the type of person who says what I don’t mean.” Bunnie continued: “I ended up leaving. So, I packed a bag and I left and I didn’t talk to my husband for weeks after that.” She confirmed: “He was so mad and we were so emotional that he ended up doing exactly what I told him to do.” That is to say, he filed to divorce her, citing “irreconcilable differences.” “Was I blindsided? Was this divorce mutual?” she asked before answering. “No, I was not. It was not mutual.” Bunnie explained: “Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and frustration.” She continued: “But was it necessary for us to have a wakeup call and to actually start having these real conversations? Absolutely.” “When I found out that he had filed for divorce, I immediately got on HRT because I was like, I’ve got to pull myself out of this hole,” Bunnie reasoned. “So, I got on HRT and started going to therapy, started going to counseling,” she shared. “I lost 15 pounds over this because he’s my best friend.” On her ‘Dumb Blonde’ podcast, Bunnie Xo delves into what happened on Mother’s Day. (Image Credit: YouTube) ‘We’re still having a baby together’ “But the thing is, that’s my f–king best friend, dude,” Bunnie emphasized. “Like, I love him.” She revealed: “And you guys are going to be shocked to hear this, but we’re still having a baby together.” Bunnie acknowledged: “So, we have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered.” That’s somewhat reasonable to say. “J and I literally talked for two hours today before I did this podcast, you know, like he knows this podcast is coming,” Bunnie acknowledged. “He knows that he wants me to do this podcast.” She continued: “He’s like, “Please clear up some s–t for me, please.’ I will always protect him.” With a lighthearted tone, Bunnie Xo praises her ex and suggests that followers of her podcast slide into his DMs. (Image Credit: YouTube) Bunnie also encouraged listeners to slide into his DMs and date him. She, however, does not feel ready to date just yet. Jelly Roll addressed the podcast at a concert, giving her a shout-out while not walking back the divorce at all. That is an awful lot to unpack. We’ll see if these two exes follow through on having a child together as exes. You can always love and support each other without trying to make something so complex work for a child. Just saying.

Reading Time: 2 minutes We have sad news to report from the world of music today. Clive Davis — the legendary record executive who helped launch and guide the careers of countless artists over the course of six decades — has died. He was 94 years old. Clive Davis speaks onstage during the 68th GRAMMY Awards Pre-GRAMMY Gala & GRAMMY Salute to Industry Icons Honoring Avery Lipman & Monte Lipman on January 31, 2026 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Leon Bennett/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) Davis was widely regarded as one of the most powerful and successful executives in music history. Over the years, he helped develop the careers of icons such as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Kelly Clarkson, Janis Joplin, Bruce Springsteen, and many others. While no official cause of death has been revealed, weeks before his death, Davis was hospitalized with an upper respiratory infection. At the time, representatives said the admission was precautionary and that he was expected to recover. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Davis originally pursued a legal career after graduating from Harvard Law School. But a chance opportunity at Columbia Records ultimately changed the course of his life — and the music industry itself. He rose through the ranks to become president of Columbia Records in 1967 and quickly developed a reputation for spotting talent before anyone else. During his tenure, he helped sign or develop artists who would go on to dominate the charts for decades. After leaving Columbia, Davis founded Arista Records and later helped launch J Records, continuing his extraordinary run of success well into the 21st century. His influence stretched across multiple generations of musicians and genres. Throughout his career, Davis earned five Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a non-performer in 2000. His annual pre-Grammy gala became one of the music industry’s most prestigious events, attracting some of the biggest names in entertainment year after year. In recent years, Davis remained active in the industry despite various health challenges. He often spoke about his enduring passion for music and his belief in its power to bring people together. While artists may have supplied the voices that defined generations, Clive Davis was often the man behind the scenes, helping those voices find an audience. His impact on popular music will be felt for decades to come. Our condolences go out to his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Reading Time: 2 minutes After the series finale of Euphoria aired, fans wondered if the rumored feud between stars was over. Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya seemed to bend over backwards to avoid each other. Sometimes, people get along just fine when they’re not coworkers. Other times, the loathing is personal. How has the end of their HBO series impacted the feud reports? Sydney Sweeney attends “The Housemaid” New York screening at 787 Seventh Ave on December 02, 2025. (Photo Credit: Manoli Figetakis/WireImage) The reports of the feud are alive and well Euphoria Season 3 has come and gone. But has this changed the rumored feud between the controversial HBO series’ two most famous actresses? RadarOnline reports that the alleged enmity hasn’t gone anywhere. They haven’t appeared together on the red carpet in years. The same seems to go for social media behind-the-scenes snaps and beyond. Insiders close to the show have repeatedly shot down any claims that Sweeney and Zendaya hate each other. Instead, they’ve said that the two did not have any scenes together in Season 3. This meant that they were rarely on set together. Both actresses have many projects beyond Euphoria. They simply didn’t have time to hang out behind the scenes, or pose for cute photos to post online. But what caused them to (allegedly) not get along? Sydney Sweeney models the Comfy lingerie collection for her Syrn brand. [image or embed] — fanana hammock (@fananahammock.bsky.social) February 27, 2026 at 1:24 PM What caused their alleged feud? As we reported earlier this year, Zendaya’s now-husband Tom Holland allegedly played an inadvertent role in it all. Sweeney allegedly flirted with Holland whenever he visited the set of Euphoria. Obviously, Holland would never cheat on Zendaya. But a perceived attempt would still raise hackles in almost any partner. Additionally, Sweeney was swept up in scandal (not through action, but more through inaction on her part) in 2025, even being branded “MAGA Barbie.” Zendaya pretty famously has good politics. If the belief, which lacks evidence, that Sweeney is a supporter of Donald Trump is true, then it would be a bad look to rub elbows with her. But that’s … not really certain. As we have previously pointed out, there is no confirmation of Sweeney and Zendaya having any sort of feud in real life. Did Sweeney flirt with Tom Holland? It’s theoretically possible, but unconfirmed. (Her real-life dating history suggests that she does not really go for handsome, age-appropriate men, so trying to steal a guy from Zendaya sounds out of character.) Additionally, Sweeney’s voter registration as a Republican is a red flag, of course. But it is also from years ago. She hasn’t done enough to distance herself from Trump, and is probably just hoping to avoid any more political backlash than she’s already received. Is it possible that Sweeney and Zendaya hate each other? Sure. But it’s certain that people often imagine feuds between women who co-star on television shows and don’t instantly become lifelong friends.

Reading Time: 3 minutes In the world of American politics, optics are everything. So when a sitting president makes a big deal out of restoring a beloved landmark ahead of a major historic milestone, he knows exactly what he’s doing. And when said overhaul goes horribly awry, said president knows that he’s about to get brutally roasted across the globe. U.S. President Donald Trump arrives for a working session on promoting economic growth with G7 leaders and G7 outreach partners as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz looks on, during the G7 Summit on June 17, 2026 in Evian-les-Bains, France. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) In case our hypotheticals were too vague, the above situation is currently unfolding in Washington, as the Trump administration scrambles to patch up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ahead of America’s 250th birthday on July 4. As the deadline approaches, the Reflecting Pool situation is looking increasingly grim — and green. The algae that the administration sought to eliminate — in order to cast the pool in a shade of patriotic blue in time for America’s big day — is still in full bloom. Worse, blue lining that was installed in an effort to attain the desired hue is now peeling and floating to the surface, transforming the pool into a swamp-like eyesore. That might be a result of the large quantities of hydrogen peroxide that have been poured into the pool in order to slow the growth of algae. Whatever the case, the sudden change in the chemical makeup of the pool seems to be impacting the local flora and fauna, as Newsweek and other outlets report that a dead duck was retrieved from the water over the weekend. Unable to ignore the situation any longer, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to … blame everything on his haters. “What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly,” Trump wrote in his post, adding: “They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete,” he added. “They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool.” Security around the pool is now at an all-time high, and arrests were made over the weekend. One of the detainees was a retired Olympic canoeist named David Hearn. Hearn, 67, told NBC News that he approached the pool in order “to satisfy my curiosity as a citizen of what was happening with all the algae and the peeling blue coating that I’ve been seeing in the news.” “I didn’t remove, tear, rip, break or destroy any of it. The condition of the reflecting pool was the same after I stepped away from the water as it was before I got there,” he continued, adding: “All of a sudden they were handcuffing me behind my back, and they hadn’t really told me what I was charged with.” Comparisons between America in 2026 and the Roman Empire in its final years are almost cliche at this point. And an embattled leader blaming all his problems on encroaching vandals is almost too on the nose to bother joking about. So we’ll hold off for now. Oh, and in case you’re keeping score at home, the cost of the failed restoration is currently at $16 million — and rising.

Reading Time: 2 minutes With Summer House grabbing so much attention during Season 10, we shouldn’t forget past alums. From Season 2 through Season 8, Danielle Olivera was a full-time cast member. Now, she and her boyfriend have bittersweet news. Their precious baby was born 10 weeks early, and is spending his first months of life in the NICU. Danielle Olivera attends the Us Weekly + Maidenform Reality Star Style Awards Party at The Highlight Room on April 22, 2025. (Photo Credit: Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images for Us Weekly) ‘Born June 21, 2026 — 10 weeks early’ Sunday, June 21, was both Father’s Day for many and Summer Solstice throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Both of these special occasions had significance for Danielle and for her boyfriend, Eoin Heavey. The two took to Instagram to share the news of their son’s premature birth. “Aidan Santos Heavey born June 21, 2026 — 10 weeks early,” they began. The post noted that Sunday was the “longest day of the year both solstice wise and for mum and dad.” Danielle Olivera and Eoin Heavey shared the news of their son’s premature birth on the Summer Solstice, 2026. (Image Credit: Instagram) “He’s heading to summer camp at NICU for his first 2/3 months in this world,” the post acknowledged. Premature births often come with health problems, meaning that the newborn requires special care and protection — even more so than other babies. “But mum and dad can’t wait to bring him home,” the message continued, “hopefully soon.” The couple went on to praise Stone Brook Medicine and the medical staff. The couple gushed that they felt “mesmerized by the miracles they perform on a daily basis.” ‘Promoted to Dad’ “Dad was a nervous, terrified, sobbing mess but couldn’t ask for a better first Father’s Day,” Speaking of Father’s Day, Heavey’s new status came into play. One Instagram photo showed a short glass that had “Promoted to Dad” written on the side of it. Another snap showed Olivera gazing upon her newborn while he remained safely within the incubator. Premature births can be scary and risky. We’re all rooting for baby Aidan. (Image Credit: Instagram) Ahead of Season 9, fans learned that Danielle would not remain part of the cast of Summer House. This left the new season looking a little less diverse without the fashion app founder. Obviously, they haven’t lacked for drama. All things considered, it’s probably best that Danielle left the Bravo series to live her best life. We wish her and Heavey and of course baby Aidan all the best. ‘Summer House’ Alum Danielle Olivera Welcomes Baby 10 Weeks Early was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Reading Time: 2 minutes Over the weekend, Anne Hathaway announced that she’s pregnant with her third child. Obviously, that’s joyous news, and many were quick to congratulate the beloved actress and her husband of 14 years, Adam Shulman. But in an unexpected and very unwelcome twist, some terminally online cretins rushed to shame Anne for getting pregnant at the age of 43. Anne Hathaway attends the 2026 Met Gala celebrating “Costume Art” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 04, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) “Can we not normalize having kids at 40? My parents had me at 40 and my Oma will never know the adult version of me,” wrote one user. “Having kids in your 40s is great because they come out all weird and autistic AND you’re practically in a nursing home by the time they hit any major life milestones,” another added. As you can see, some accounts engaged in behavior known as “concern trolling,” feigning genuine consideration for Anne and her family. Others just spotted an opportunity to be cruel and didn’t want to let it go to waste. Sadly, such behavior is quite common on social media. having kids in your 40s is great because they come out all weird and autistic AND youre practically in a nursing home by the time they hit any major life milestones https://t.co/6QRXa2ALm7 — doomer (@uncledoomer) June 20, 2026 The backlash is particularly vile as Anne has spoken about her fertility issues and miscarriages in the past. Partially as a result of these issues, she began having children later than expected at the age of 33. And when she became a mom, she dedicated herself to it completely. Anne got sober so that she could devote all of her time and energy to her kids. By all accounts, she’s a fantastic mom. Of course, this discourse has less to do with Anne than with the never-ending culture wars being waged across the social media landscape. The people who are angry that she’s having a third child aren’t really worried about what Anne’s relationship with her kid will look like in 30 years. More likely, they’re angry about whom she might have voted for in 2024. The experience of an adult child wishing their parents had had them at an earlier age is rare to the point of being nearly non-existent — and the haters likely know that. But that’s not gonna stop them from ranting and raving about the personal choices of someone they’ll never meet. And while we don’t want to get too morbid on a Monday morning, let’s not forget that none of us is guaranteed tomorrow, and having kids at an early age does not necessarily mean you’ll be there when they get married and have kids of their own. Yes, folks, we’re all gonna check out at some point. And while there’s not much to be gained by dwelling on that fact too often, it might be good to occasionally pause and reflect on the fact that there’s no greater waste of our short time on this planet than being cruel to other people for no reason. Anyway! We’d like to offer our sincere congratulations to Anne and Adam. We’re sure they’ll continue to be excellent parents.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Sunday was Father’s Day. A difficult day for many, for one reason or another. For what’s left of Kelly Osbourne, this wasn’t just a holiday without her dearly departed dad. She marked her first Father’s Day after Ozzy’s passing with a glowing tribute to her late father. Kelly also shared a heartwarming message that he shared with her before the end. Kelly Osbourne attends The BRIT Awards 2026 at Co-op Live on February 28, 2026, (Photo Credit: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) ‘The ache of missing you is the price of loving you’ On Sunday, June 21, the 41-year-old television personality took to Instagram to share a Father’s Day tribute. “Dad, I still find myself looking for you in ordinary moments,” Kelly began her caption. “The advice I need, the joke I want to tell, the victory I wish you could see,” she wrote. “The ache of missing you is the price of loving you,” Kelly acknowledged. She continued: “And I would pay it forever rather than have never been your child at all!” “I will never stop missing you,” Kelly affirmed in her caption. This is, notably, her first Father’s Day since Ozzy Osbourne passed away. “It is an honor to spend the rest of my life loving you,” she gushed. Kelly concluded her emotional caption with: “Until we meet again!” Alongside her words, Kelly shared a series of throwback photos — most of which showed her as a baby or young child alongside an unbelievably young-looking Ozzy. On her first Father’s Day since Ozzy’s passing, Kelly Osbourne paid tribute to her late dad. (Image Credit: Instagram) ‘All I want is for the two of you to be happy’ In her Stories, Kelly also shared a screenshot of a text that she received from her late father prior to his passing. “Ya know what, whenever I’m feeling sick and miserable all I have to do is watch the video you sent of little sid in the bath and it make me so happy that it all just go away,” the rocker wrote at the time. That is a reference to Sidney Wilson, Kelly’s son. She and Sid Wilson welcomed Little Sid in 2022. “I just [wish] you were both still here,” Ozzy added. “I really love the both of you and all I want is for the two of you to be happy.” On July 22, 2025, Ozzy Osbourne passed away. The cause of death was a heart attack alongside coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease. He was 76 years old at the time. He had lived a long, wild life. Even before his death, Kelly had begun to make headlines for her alarmingly gaunt features, prompting many to worry about her health as they would if she were posing on the red carpet with an open wound. Thus far, she has not been receptive to fan comments urging her to seek health for a health situation that appears beyond her control. For her sake and that of Little Sid’s, we hope that she seeks help soon.

Reading Time: 2 minutes As we previously reported, actress Daveigh Chase died this week at the age of 35. Now, her mother is opening up about the heartbreaking reality of losing her daughter. In an emotional interview with the Daily Mail, Cathy Chase spoke publicly for the first time since Daveigh’s death, describing the devastating moment she learned that her daughter was gone. Actress Daveigh Chase arrives at HBO’s “Big Love” Season 5 Premiere held at the Directors Guild Of America on January 12, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Michael Caulfield/WireImage) “I was devastated,” Cathy said, recalling the overwhelming grief she felt after receiving the news. The grieving mother says she initially struggled to believe the reports were true. “I let out this guttural scream,” she told the outlet, describing a moment of anguish that sent her running into her backyard in disbelief. Daveigh died on June 16 after suffering complications from meningitis and a severe blood infection that led to sepsis and multiple organ failure. She had reportedly been hospitalized earlier this month while battling malnutrition. For many fans, Daveigh will forever be remembered as the voice of Lilo in Disney’s beloved Lilo & Stitch franchise and as the terrifying Samara Morgan in the horror classic The Ring. She also provided the English-language voice of Chihiro in Spirited Away and appeared in cult classics like Donnie Darko and HBO’s Big Love. The tragedy is compounded by a claim from Chase’s former manager, John Ryan, who says she was “too far gone” to collect millions that were owed to her from her work on Lilo & Stitch. Despite her incredible success in the industry, the actress reportedly endured years of personal struggles. According to her mother, Daveigh became increasingly difficult to locate in recent years. Cathy told the Daily Mail that she spent countless nights searching online databases and missing-person resources in hopes of finding her daughter. “As a mother, you don’t give up on your child,” Cathy said. “I was hoping she would still come home.” The interview also addressed allegations that Cathy had abandoned her daughter during her struggles with addiction and homelessness. She strongly denied those claims, insisting that she never stopped searching for Daveigh and never gave up hope that they would eventually reconnect. According to reports, Daveigh’s downward spiral began years ago following a motorcycle accident that led to pain medication use and eventually substance abuse issues. Ryan has also claimed that addiction played a major role in the actress’ disappearance from public life. In the days since her death, questions have also emerged regarding an online fundraiser created by a man identifying himself as Daveigh’s boyfriend, Roy Hernandez. Ryan publicly questioned the fundraiser’s legitimacy, claiming that Daveigh already had financial resources available through a SAG trust account. Hernandez has maintained that any money raised would go toward memorial expenses and honoring Daveigh’s memory. Our condolences go out to all of Daveigh’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Summer House ended its tenth season with explosive, messy drama. It drew a lot of eyes to the Bravo series. It drew a lot of condemnation towards the controversial couple who betrayed their friends and kept their entanglement secret for as long as possible. Actually, West Wilson got most of the blame. Is Amanda Batula the victim of a manipulative love-bomber? Not really. Amanda Batula attends Bravo’s “Summer House” Season 10 at 92NY on January 28, 2026. (Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) Is she the victim here? In the bitter aftermath of Summer House Season 10, Batula turned to Lindsay Hubbard — one of the friends still speaking to her — for comfort. “I’ve made some poor decisions, but … I was in such a s–tty relationship,” Batula insisted. The relationship in question was her marriage to Kyle Cooke. The two only separated in January, by the way. “I just wasn’t me anymore,” Batula protested. “And going out [with West], I felt just … fun again.” Feigning introspection, she claimed: “I think maybe I confused going out with West and falling in love with myself again.” Batula continued, claiming that West was texting and “pursuing” her to hang out. She says that she mostly refused … until her separation from Cooke, that is. Then, she went out with him instead of staying at home. Hubbard was super sympathetic, believing that West manipulated Batula when she was at a low point. Batula expressed feelings of being overwhelmed and overpowered because West seemed to really care about her, bombarding her with attention when she felt “unloveable.” Some on the internet have sided with Batula, believing that West love-bombed her. But is that really what happened? Ciara Miller is the ACTUAL victim, here Look, there are certainly reasons to believe that Batula wasn’t in a good place, mentally or emotionally. After all, she and Cooke apparently didn’t have sex during their marriage. They were married for years, by the way. But the amount of sympathy being channeled by viewers in Batula’s direction is way out of proportion. Especially when compared to how some have chosen to view Ciara Miller. Ciara has been called “too harsh” and “mean” for confronting her former best friend on the reunion stage. She showed passion and heartbreak and emotion. Batula also cried, but not over her fallen friendship. On the stage, Batula cried when she felt humiliated over Wilson being with Meija Moreno when the two of them first hooked up. She even left the stage. This was about her — her image, her feelings, her sense of worth. Meanwhile, when anyone, from her castmates to host Andy Cohen, tried to challenge her for being a bad friend, she’d try to wriggle out of the conversation or swap topics or churn out more excuses. Batula wasn’t friendless when West hit her up. She turned down partying with friends because hooking up with West made her feel good, and because it’s what she wanted to do. Now she’s, if not friendless, sporting fewer than she was just a few months ago. Betraying your best friend for a man is just not a good look, and it makes you the bad guy. Yes, even if the man you betrayed her for is even worse. Amanda Batula Is Not The Victim (Even If West Wilson Sucks) was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Reading Time: 2 minutes As you’ve likely heard by now, Jelly Roll has filed for divorce from Bunnie Xo after 10 years of marriage. The split comes as a surprise, as these two were publicly singing each other’s praises just a few short months ago. We still don’t know the cause of the split, but fans hoping for an amicable conscious uncoupling might be out of luck. Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll attend the 68th GRAMMY Awards Pre-GRAMMY Gala & GRAMMY Salute to Industry Icons Honoring Avery Lipman and Monte Lipman at The Beverly Hilton on January 31, 2026 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) On Thursday, Bunnie raised some eyebrows when she shared a cryptic TikTok that appeared to tease her side of the story regarding the couple’s shocking split. In the video, Bunnie sang along to Jelly Roll’s song “No Limit Freestyle” while enjoying dinner with friends. But it was the caption that really got fans talking. “Podcast coming … #jellyandbunnie,” she wrote, seemingly hinting that she plans to address the breakup on a future episode of her popular “Dumb Blonde” podcast. Not surprisingly, followers flooded the comments section with questions. And that thumb and forefinger emoji led some to the conclusion that Bunnie might wind up throwing shade at her sex life with Jelly Roll. Many were confused by Bunnie’s decision to use one of Jelly Roll’s songs while simultaneously teasing a tell-all discussion about their divorce. “She’s using Jelly’s song and now I’m soooo confused,” one follower wrote. Another admitted, “This is so messy and I’m so invested.” The cryptic post arrives amid a whirlwind week for the former couple. Before the divorce became public knowledge, Bunnie shared cryptic messages about intuition, exes, and personal growth. She also posted a lingerie photo alongside the caption, “She’s getting her sparkle back,” just hours before reports of the split emerged. It might be a while before we know exactly why these two called it quits, but one Instagram user believes the split is a result of Bunnie’s successful memoir: “Okay, but the stats of men filing for divorce right after or during a height of a woman’s recognition and career needs to be studied. 6 weeks on the best seller list & that’s when this got filed. Wild behavior,” they commented on one of her latest posts. Meanwhile, Jelly Roll has made a few subtle changes of his own. The country star recently removed references to Bunnie from his Instagram bio, fueling additional speculation that the separation is moving forward. He has also been spotted without his wedding ring in recent social media posts and public appearances. So far, neither Bunnie nor Jelly Roll has publicly addressed the divorce in detail. But if Bunnie’s latest TikTok is any indication, that silence may not last much longer. Bunnie Xo Blasted For ‘Messy’ Response to Jelly Roll Divorce was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Reading Time: 2 minutes There was a time when fans were convinced that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were preparing to tie the knot at the singer’s sprawling Rhode Island estate. Now, it sounds like that may have been the case at one point — but those plans have changed. According to a new report from TMZ, Swift and Kelce have scrapped plans for a Rhode Island wedding that was set to take place on June 13.

(Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) Swift’s Watch Hill mansion had been at the center of wedding rumors for months, with fans and media outlets closely monitoring the property for signs of a celebration. Earlier this month, Rhode Island officials even attempted to tamp down speculation. Westerly Police Chief Paul Gingerella told TMZ that local authorities had not been involved in any wedding planning connected to Swift and Kelce, a notable detail given the extensive security arrangements that would likely accompany an event of that magnitude. In recent days, guests were reportedly spotted gathering at Swift’s Rhode Island home, leading many to believe some sort of wedding-related event was imminent. Videos and photos circulating online appeared to show increased activity at the property, including heightened security measures. But according to TMZ’s latest report, the Rhode Island festivities are no longer happening. The intel comes courtesy of an RI fireworks company that was hired to provide pyrotechnics for the ceremony — until their contract was abruptly canceled. Now, it looks as though the reception — but not the ceremony — will take place at New York’s Madison Square Garden on July 3. And as TMZ points out, usually when the ceremony and the reception happen separately, the wedding takes place first. And since Tay and Travis were originally planning on June 13, there’s a good chance that they’re already hitched. Yes, Taylor might already be Mrs. Swift-Kelce. As we’ve previously reported, rumors surrounding the wedding have reached a fever pitch. Various outlets have suggested guests have been required to sign strict nondisclosure agreements, while others have claimed the couple has intentionally spread misinformation in an effort to keep their actual plans private. Given the level of attention surrounding the relationship, it’s easy to understand why. Swift and Kelce got engaged in August 2025 after roughly two years of dating, and their wedding is already shaping up to be one of the most heavily scrutinized celebrity events in recent memory. As for why there’s so much activity at the Rhode Island house this week, insiders say the folks coming and going appear to be mostly female. So it’s possible that Tay is hosting a bachelorette party ahead of her big day. We’ll keep you posed as new details roll in.
