Reading Time: 2 minutes We have tragic news to report from the world of television today: Owain Rhys Davies — the actor best known for his work as Agent Wilson on 2017’s Twin Peaks: The Return — has died at the age of 44. News of Davies’ sudden passing comes courtesy of a statement from his brother, who referenced “unanswered questions” surrounding the actor’s death. Police officers gather outside of the county morgue as the remains of a fellow officer who was fatally shot in the line of duty arrive from the hospital on April 25, 2026 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images) “It is with profound sadness that my father and I share the news that my brother, Owain, has passed away,” Rhodri Davies wrote on Instagram, adding: “This news will come as a great shock to many. “While there are still questions that remain unanswered regarding the circumstances of his death, our understanding at this stage is that Owain passed suddenly, naturally, and peacefully. “The reach of Owain’s love, friendship, and generosity was vast. The outpouring of messages we have received over the past few days has been deeply moving and a testament to the impact he had on so many lives.” Rhodri concluded by promising to fill fans in once he and his family have more information: “We know that this loss will be felt by a great many people, and we take comfort in knowing how loved he was,” he wrote, adding: “We will try and share further information in due course as we learn more and begin making arrangements. In the meantime, we kindly ask for some privacy as we come to terms with this devastating loss and support one another through the days ahead. “Thank you for your kindness, your messages, and for keeping Owain in your thoughts.” In addition to his work on Twin Peaks, Davies appeared on multiple television shows, including The OA. He also appeared in several movies, including Alice Through The Looking Glass, and A Serial Killer’s Guide To Life. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available. Our thoughts go out to the Davies family during this incredibly difficult time.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Convicted predator Josh Duggar has been transferred to a facility catering to inmates who require medical and mental health services. According to TMZ, the disgraced former reality star has been transferred from FCI Seagoville, the Texas federal prison where he had been serving his sentence, to a Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth. The move is significant because Federal Medical Centers are generally reserved for inmates who require specialized or long-term care services that cannot be provided in a standard federal prison setting. Upon his arrest, Josh Duggar was charged with receiving and possessing CSAM. (Photo Credit: Washington County Jail) At this point, federal officials aren’t saying exactly why Duggar was transferred. The Bureau of Prisons declined to discuss the conditions of any individual inmate, noting only that transfers can occur for a variety of reasons, including medical needs, mental health treatment, security concerns, programming requirements, or inmate safety. That lack of information has already fueled widespread speculation online. Interestingly, the facility already houses another disgraced reality star, Joe Exotic, who is receiving cancer treatment on site. Exotic is doing time for a murder-for-hire plot targeting his professional rival, Carole Baskin. Josh is currently serving a more than 12-year federal sentence after being convicted in 2021 of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material. The former reality star was sentenced to 151 months in prison and has made several appeals challenging his conviction. The transfer comes just weeks after another setback. Already in custody, Josh Duggar continued to exude a smug presence when posing for mugshots. (Photo Credit: Washington County Detention Center) As we previously reported, Josh’s projected release date was pushed back yet again, moving from late 2032 to February 2, 2033. It marked the third time his release date had been extended during his incarceration. His time behind bars has hardly been loaded with conduct violations and disciplinary action. In 2023, Josh spent time in solitary housing after being caught with a contraband cell phone. More recently, intimate jail messages he sent to wife Anna Duggar resurfaced publicly, generating another round of headlines. Throughout it all, Anna has remained supportive of her husband. The couple, who married in 2008 and share seven children, have largely maintained a united front despite the criminal conviction and years of damaging scandals surrounding the Duggar family. For now, the biggest mystery is the reason behind Josh’s seemingly sudden transfer to a medical facility. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding will take place very, very soon. The save-the-dates went out. Those who are invited very likely already know. We don’t have the full list. But we can safely name a couple of famous Taylor besties who likely won’t be attending. Taylor Swift attends the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre on March 26, 2026. (Photo Credit: Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) Tangential or fallen friends are NOT invited The Daily Mail reports that Taylor and Travis didn’t exactly wing it with their wedding invitation list. “Taylor has meticulously gone through her wedding guest list,” an alleged inside source reported. The insider explained that this is “because the people she wants at her wedding are the people she hopes will remain in her life forever.” Remember, Taylor and Travis’ nuptials will reportedly fall on July 3. Save-the-dates already went out. If someone didn’t receive an invite, they’re likely not attending. “She wants to be surrounded by those who can genuinely share the love and meaning of the day,” the alleged source elaborated. The insider specified that this is important “especially the people who have played important roles in her life for years.” But some of even the most important people in her life shouldn’t expect to attend. “Over time,” the source warned, “some of her friendships have become strained for various reasons.” Though the insider did not name them, two names come to mind: Blake Lively and Karlie Kloss. Former besties seem like unlikely wedding guests Blake and Taylor enjoyed a storied friendship. Blake’s kid’s voice even appears on one of Taylor’s songs. But a couple of years ago, Blake became embroiled in a lengthy and punishing legal battle with Justin Baldoni. The disgraced director alleged during his side of the lawsuit that Blake had used her friendship with Taylor to intimidate him. Taylor, meanwhile, seemed to resent being drawn into the courtroom, even indirectly. Reports have since said that their relationship became strained as a result. It is conceivable that there is something — good or ill — that we don’t know about. Regardless, at present, no one expects Blake to attend the wedding. It would be a fun surprise if she does! Taylor and Karlie were famous friends who began publicly hanging out in 2013. Karlie was part of the “Squad” in the mid-2010s, even appearing in music videos. Something happened. Reports are divided upon what. Some believe that Karlie’s infamous marriage into the Kushner family was a sticking point. Scooter Braun was a guest at their wedding. None of that was likely to sit well with Taylor. Others say that the rift happened even earlier — with clues showing up in “Reputation.” This may have been more personal, perhaps a misuse of Taylor’s spacious New York City residence. Regardless, if Karlie shows up at Taylor and Travis’ wedding, it would be to bestow a curse upon the couple. That rift isn’t sad like the one with Blake, and it’s much older.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Last September, far-right conservatives placed a great deal of importance upon the death of Charlie Kirk. These days, many of those same individuals are lashing out at Erika Kirk, his widow. From her parenting to her handling of his far-right recruitment organization to her general demeanor, many conservatives are fed up with her. Now, it’s claimed that she has moved on — showing PDA with a friend of her late husband’s. How will the right react? C.E.O. and Chair of the Board of Turning Point USA Erika Kirk speaks during a Turning Point USA stop in the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University on April 02, 2026. (Photo Credit: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Does she have a new man? According to an account on what was formerly Twitter, an accounted called “Project Constitution” tweeted a big claim. “Erika Kirk Has A New BOYFRIEND,” the post began. “She Was SPOTTED Getting Handsy with New Jewish Boyfriend BLAKE WYNN (Nephew of Casino Mogul Steve Wynn) at Exclusive Beverly Hills Hotel.” The tweet went on to allege: “I have now confirmed through 2 separate sources that Erika Kirk has already moved on — and fast.” As the post continued, the author wrote: “A trusted eyewitness who knows the Beverly Hills Hotel scene personally saw Erika on Thursday evening May 14th at the ultra-exclusive, invite-only Bar 1912 getting very intimate with Blake Wynn.” The tweet bluntly added: “They were hugging, kissing, and the witness says he had his hand on her ass.” Whoever runs ‘Project Constitution’ appears to be dishing on some hot goss from conservative circles. (Image Credit: Twitter) “She goes on to say Erika was also heavily intoxicated,” the post announced, writing: “This from the same woman who claims to be a devout trad Christian who doesn’t drink.” The tweet went on: “The source also saw them shopping together earlier that day at Neiman Marcus.” That is an upmarket department store chain. “Even more damning?” the post continued. “A quick search turns up nearly a dozen photos of Erika and Blake together at multiple events over time.” The tweet explained: “They weren’t strangers. This looks like a relationship that was already happening.” Wow, that’s interesting and big news — if true. But is it true? Within hours, Erika Kirk moved to quash the claims that she’s moved on romantically. (Image Credit: Twitter) ‘Charlie’s love will last me a lifetime’ Mere hours later, Erika issued a reply, tweeting that “Every single word here is a lie.” Harsh! “Charlie’s love will last me a lifetime,” she declared, referring to her late husband. “The Lord is the only one who can ever fill that most painful void.” Erika even specified her alibi, writing: “On May 14th I was home in Arizona celebrating my son’s 2nd birthday.” She continued: “Blake (who is about to be engaged to his longtime gf) was a dear friend of my husband’s and I am grateful for his continued support, just like hundreds of others.” Erika accused: “Your deranged obsession with me and blatant disregard for any form of truth whatsoever is deeply disturbing and I am praying you get the help you so clearly need.” Blake Wynn, the other target of the claims, also responded to the post. (Image Credit: Twitter) For the end of her tweet, Erika advised the original poster: “Brush off the Dorito dust and go touch grass.” “Blake Wynn here,” the other individual in the story tweeted in his own reply. “I hate to be the bearer of bad news to the cesspool of bots and X users that spend their entire day making things up under the guise of journalism,” he admitted, “but I am not dating Erika Kirk.” Following Charlie Kirk’s death, his most ardent supporters were quick to pounce on anyone criticizing the deceased white nationalist, even those who simply quoted him. Hundreds of people lost their jobs (some of whom are making a lot of money in legal settlements). But most of the criticism of Erika herself seems to come from the political right. Charlie’s fans don’t trust or seem to even particularly like his widow. The conservative war on women continues to target conservative women. Does Erika Kirk Have a Boyfriend?

Reading Time: 2 minutes More bad news for Sean “Diddy” Combs this week. Just one day after news that his sex tape with Daphne Joy had leaked online, we now know that the disgraced mogul is facing a new district attorney investigation. According to TMZ, prosecutors are reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing additional criminal charges against Combs. Sean “Diddy” Combs attend 2018 Fox Network Upfront at Wollman Rink, Central Park on May 14, 2018 in New York City. (Photo by John Lamparski/WireImage) According to the outlet, Los Angeles prosecutors are reviewing a new criminal case against the disgraced music mogul stemming from allegations made by music publicist Jonathan Hay. And the claims are disturbing even by the standards of Diddy’s already sprawling legal saga. Hay filed a police report in September 2025 alleging that Diddy sexually battered him on two separate occasions, one in 2020 and another in 2021. After an investigation, detectives reportedly submitted their findings to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, which is now reviewing the case to determine whether criminal charges should be filed. The allegations center on incidents Hay claims occurred while he was working on a project involving the late The Notorious B.I.G.’s son, CJ Wallace. According to Hay, one encounter took place in September 2020 when he allegedly found himself alone with Diddy. Hay claims Combs masturbated into one of Biggie’s shirts before throwing the garment at him and making a sexual demand. Hay further alleges that a second incident occurred in March 2021 after he traveled to Los Angeles to continue working on the project. During that encounter, Hay claims Diddy forced oral sex on him after accusing him of being a “snitch.” The allegations are not new. Hay previously filed a civil lawsuit against Diddy and has repeatedly stood by his account. Last month, he publicly rejected Diddy’s denials, stating, “There was nothing consensual about it. He forced himself on me while I was being held against my will.” As for Diddy, his legal team has denied the allegations. The potential new case comes while the Bad Boy founder is already serving a federal prison sentence following his 2025 conviction for violating the Mann Act by transporting people across state lines for purposes of prostitution. He was acquitted of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges but remains incarcerated. He is currently scheduled to be released in 2028. For now, no new charges have been filed. But if Los Angeles prosecutors decide the evidence supports Hay’s claims, Diddy could find himself facing yet another criminal prosecution. And for a man whose legal nightmare already seems endless, that is likely the last headline he wanted to see today, Diddy Probe May Lead to New Sexual Battery Charges, Additional Jail Time was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Is this the best job for her? Mackenzie Shirilla is in prison. She expects to be there for more than a decade, if not longer. She has plans for after she leaves prison. Shirilla doesn’t plan to be an uber driver. But she may have picked the next worse gig. The infamous Mackenzie Shirilla appears in this mugshot. (Photo Credit: Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction) ‘A pillar of strength’ 21-year-old Shirilla is currently serving 15-to-life an Ohio women’s prison. At her bench trial, the judge found that she was legally responsible for the killing of her boyfriend and their friend in 2022 high speed crash, when she was 17. TMZ got a hold of Shirilla’s phone call with her mother, Natalie. Prison phone calls are not protected by privacy laws. According to the audio, she told her mother that she wants to become a “life coach” after prison. At the earliest, her date of release is late 2037. EXCLUSIVE: Mackenzie Shirilla is already thinking about life after prison … and it sounds like she's got big plans for what might come next. pic.twitter.com/UeK42PlAax — TMZ (@TMZ) May 30, 2026 It is unclear if this call took place before or after the May 15 release of Netflix’s documentary, The Crash. “All the things you have been experiencing. It’s so much,” Shirilla heard from her mother. Her mom continued: “So many highs and lows, ups and downs. A pillar of strength, my love.” “Yes, like, man. Like, I just wanna come home and just like … I don’t even know,” Shirilla said awkwardly. “You’re going to be able to help so many more people than you already were, you know what I mean?” her mom suggested. “Just because of your experiences.” ‘I’ma be a life coach’ It sounds like Shirilla chewed on using her “experiences” to then “help” others before naming her potential new gig. “I’ma be a life coach and stuff,” she proposed. “I’m just going to be everything,” Shirilla continued. “I’ma do everything.” One cannot help but think of another call between mother in daughter, in which Shirilla attempted to conceal her message in pig latin, as if this would make her words indecipherable to investigators. Obviously, that did not pan out. Some of her actions and statements have given the general public the impression that Shirilla feels no remorse for the deaths of Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan. That is something that the parole board in 2037 may take into account when they consider releasing her. Meanwhile, many have pointed out that Scott Flanagan — the father of one of her victims — has shown more thought and care than Shirilla or her parents. Flanagan, like many of us, hopes that Shirilla will take her time in prison to mature into an adult and grow into a better human being. Will it happen? We don’t know. But we have a long time to wait before we find out. Mackenzie Shirilla Threatens to Become ‘Life Coach’ After Prison was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Reading Time: 2 minutes The Minnesota Republican Party is facing intense backlash after delegates at its state convention held a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin. Chauvin, of course, is the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd. According to multiple reports, the brief tribute took place Saturday morning during the party’s convention in Duluth. A protester holds a sign with a photo of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin during demonstrations following the death of George Floyd on May 30, 2020 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images) The moment of silence was reportedly requested by a delegate and lasted approximately 10 seconds before convention business resumed. Party leaders later indicated the gesture was not part of the planned agenda. The timing immediately drew criticism, as the convention occurred just days after the sixth anniversary of Floyd’s death, which sparked worldwide protests and renewed conversations about police brutality and racial justice. Chauvin was convicted of second-degree murder for Floyd’s 2020 killing and is currently serving his prison sentence. Not surprisingly, the reaction from Democrats was swift. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who led the prosecution against Chauvin, issued a blistering statement condemning the tribute. “I am heartbroken and frankly shocked,” Ellison said, calling the moment of silence “an act of profound cruelty” toward Floyd’s family and anyone who believes in accountability under the law. He added that honoring Chauvin “dishonors the memory of George Floyd” and “wounds his loved ones all over again.” The controversy comes as some conservative commentators continue to argue that Chauvin did not receive a fair trial. Those claims have fueled calls from some right-wing activists for a presidential pardon, though legal experts have noted that any federal pardon would not erase Chauvin’s state murder conviction. Critics, meanwhile, were left stunned that a state political convention would choose to honor a man convicted of murder. The Minnesota GOP has not issued a formal apology for the incident, and the moment has quickly become a flashpoint in the state’s political landscape heading into the 2026 election cycle. What was supposed to be a routine weekend of endorsements and campaign planning has now turned into a national headline. And judging by the reaction on social media, this controversy isn’t fading away anytime soon.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Yes, Diddy is currently in prison on sex trafficking charges, but his chaotic personal life is still making tabloid headlines. An explicit video allegedly connected to Sean “Diddy” Combs and a woman named Daphne Joy reportedly leaked online this week. And because Daphne has a son with Diddy’s chief rival, 50 Cent, 50 wasted no time chiming in. Sean “Diddy” Combs attends the 2022 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 15, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Prosecutors reportedly introduced the footage at Diddy’s trial, but the contents were not made available to the public. Now, the tape — which Daphne says was recorded without her knowledge — has reportedly been making the rounds on social media. Joy is trying to stop the spread of the tape, claiming that the other man in the video is using it to blackmail her. “I was blackmailed by the person in the video and was threatened that if I didn’t give him the lump sum of money that they would leak it on the web,” she wrote in a since-deleted social media post. Diddy is not likely to face new criminal charges due to the release of the tape, but he could wind up back in court, depending on the direction of Joy’s case against the other man, who has not been identified. For his part, 50 is furious, but not on behalf of his ex. Rather, he claims that their son is the real victim in all of this. “She’s not a victim, SIRE is,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), referring to his teenage son by Joy. “Can you imagine going to eighth grade to find out this is your mom. The court system in LA thinks it’s fine.” While Diddy will be locked up for another two years, he remains the topic of frequent controversies and allegations. And throughout nearly all of it, 50 Cent has been watching from the sidelines with popcorn in hand. The rapper has repeatedly mocked Diddy on Instagram and other social media platforms, and he even produced a documentary about Diddy’s crimes. In fact, his posts have become so frequent that fans practically expect commentary from him whenever a major Diddy development occurs. And he rarely disappoints. This time, rather than offering sympathy or restraint, 50 responded with the same sarcastic humor that has defined much of his public commentary about Diddy over the past several years. In one Instagram post, he alleged that Diddy was “born with no penis.” Of course, the bad blood between these two stars didn’t start with Diddy’s criminal case. Their feud dates back decades and has included diss tracks, interviews, social media jabs, and countless public insults. What began as a music-industry rivalry eventually evolved into one of rap’s most enduring grudges. Now, with Diddy behind bars and hoping to be released in April of 2028, 50 appears determined to keep the pressure on. Whether fans find the trolling hilarious or inappropriate depends largely on whom they ask. But one thing is certain — when a major Diddy headline breaks, there’s a good chance 50 Cent won’t stay silent for long.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Over the weekend, a post broke containment and went viral. The post’s creator was Jenny Mollen, a comedian and — more importantly — a mom. Whatever her intentions, her mother-son PDA had some people calling for an investigation. And, when you see the post for yourself, you might see why. … Comedian Jenny Mollen attends the alice + olivia by Stacey Bendet Spring 2026 Presentation at Surrogate’s Court on September 13, 2025. (Photo Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for alice + olivia) ‘The most toxic guy you will ever date’ Late last week, Mollen took to Facebook to share a series of photos featuring her and her 12-year-old son on a bed. She and actor Jason Biggs welcomed their firsborn, Sid, back in February 2014. In the photos of the now-deleted post, Mollen shared photos of her holding her son, seeming to lie between his legs. Different families have different ways of expressing love. Some hold hands while watching a movie. Some kiss on the mouth. There’s a lot of variety. But lying between her tween son’s legs was not, it turned out, the most eyebrow-raising part of the post. Oh Jenny Mollen Biggs being a weird ass BoyMom™ was not on my bingo card but here we are. [image or embed] — AskAubry (@askaubry.com) May 31, 2026 at 3:42 PM Mollen’s post indicated that she was listening to “’03 Bonnie & Clyde” by Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Speaking of toxic couples, the comedian’s caption is what really drew people’s ire. “Your eldest son will be the most toxic guy you ever date,” Mollen wrote. The PDA is one thing. The caption is another. The two in conjunction had people on virtually every social media platform calling for an actual investigation, seemingly accusing Mollen of some sort of wrongdoing. Many people just saw this as a random ‘boymom’ post To be clear, many — perhaps most — of those who saw this image saw it robbed of its context. Many versions of the screenshot of the (now deleted) post did not even include the name of the poster. And (with all due respect to Ms. Mollen) not everyone knows who she is. Seeing that a comedian posted something like that might make you wince at a joke that didn’t land as intended. Seeing that a random woman posted it might make you worry. Or, at the very least, it seems unintentionally funny, like that “a girlfriend is a sister you choose” greeting card. TMZ spoke to a source close to Mollen, one who spoke a great deal like a publicist might. “The picture is nothing more than a mother hugging her 12 year-old son,” the source emphasized. “Any one inferring anything else should be ashamed of themselves,” the source then condemned. As far as the caption goes, the same individual dismissed it: “She’s a comedian.” For the record, Mollen joked that her then-newborn son’s penis was “huge” back in 2014. So it doesn’t seem like her very recent split with Biggs is to blame.

Reading Time: 2 minutes This was supposed to be America’s summer. Right now, the nation is celebrating its 250th anniversary while also preparing to host the World Cup — sounds like a good time, right? Well, unfortunately, the vibe these days is much more “unprecedented levels of division and discord” and much less “party like it’s 1999.” U.S. President Donald Trump listens to members of his Cabinet speak during a meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House on May 27, 2026 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images) As we previously reported, multiple singers have pulled out of the America 250 concert in Washington, DC. Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, the Commodores, Young MC, and several others announced last week that they had decided to perform at the event. In most cases, they hinted that the concert had become politicized in ways they had not anticipated, but they did not get into specifics. Never one to back down from a challenge (or an opportunity to be petty), Donald Trump responded to the situation by announcing that he wants to cancel the concert and host a MAGA rally instead. pic.twitter.com/Ono3zPi54Z — Martina McBride (@martinamcbride) May 29, 2026 “We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform over the weekend. “Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center, because a Highly Conflicted, Crooked Federal Judge, said that I should not be allowed to spend my time and money in order to MAKE THE CENTER GREAT AGAIN, actually, far greater than it ever was before!” the president continued, adding: “It would have also been nice to see a Republican/Democrat union bring it back to life. The Kennedy Center is broken, unsafe, and $busted, and has been for many years!” Yes, for a guy who likes to dance, Trump’s not big on parties. In fact, he recently skipped his own son’s wedding. But there’s nothing the man loves more than one of his signature rallies, and it sounds like that’s what America 250 is about to become. It’s an odd suggestion for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that political rallies are generally reserved for the campaign trail, and Trump is not currently running for office. In fact, he’s not even eligible to run for the White House again, but don’t tell him that. On top of that, there are several acts — including, we kid you not, Vanilla Ice and one of the dudes from Milli Vanilli — that are still slated to perform at America 250. Canceling the event would seem like punishing them for their loyalty, but that sort of move is very much in the Trump administration’s wheelhouse. Anyway, with just weeks to go before the start of the so-called Great American State Fair, the event is very much in a state of turmoil. But perhaps these days, there’s no more appropriate way to celebrate America’s birthday than with more chaos and uncertainty.

Reading Time: 3 minutes For years, James Van Der Beek and Heather McComb were husband and wife. That is no longer the case. Van Der Beek passed away several months ago. Now, his former wife has remarried. She had a lot to say, and so do fans. James Van Der Beek and wife Heather McComb during CineVegas Film Festival 2005 – “Standing Still” – Premiere at Brenden Theatres. (Photo Credit: Arun Nevader/WireImage) They were married from 2003 until 2010 49-year-old Heather McComb was married to the late Van Der Beek from 2003 until 2010. Later that year, he remarried to the Mrs. Van Der Beek we all know — his widow, Kimberly. He left behind Kimberly and their six children: 15-year-old Olivia, 14-year-old Joshua, 12-year-old Annabel, 10-year-old Emilia, 7-year-old Gwendolyn, and 4-year-old Jeremiah. Back in February, Van Der Beek passed away after an extended battle with colorectal cancer. He was only 48. Now, Heather has remarried. On Sunday, May 31, Heather McComb celebrated her marriage to Scott Michael Campbell on her Instagram page. “Yesterday @scottmichaelcampbell and I under the covenant of God got officially married by my beautiful sister @essence_says,” she began. McComb detailed that they were “surrounded by the people we love most in the world in our most favorite city Missoula Montana.” She gushed: “Our hearts are full and humbled by all of the love that we were surrounded by.” McComb gave numerous shout-outs, including: “Thank you to all of our family and friends who traveled from all over the country to be with us.” A lengthy caption from Heather McComb about her joyous nuptials. Hooray! (Image Credit: Instagram) ‘Thank you to everyone who made this so special’ “You all made it so special and a truly magical weekend that we will never forget,” McComb raved. “We are sitting here counting our many blessings,” she then affirmed. McComb reiterated: “Thank you to everyone who made this so special for us!” As you can see (above), her full caption was even longer, and included numerous shout-outs to those involved in the wedding and reception. Her photos made it clear that she had a great (and messy) time dancing. Weddings, as a rule, tend to generate very sore feet. Though he was more succinct than his new wife, Scott Michael Campbell’s caption radiated joy after his wedding. (Image Credit: Instagram) In his own Instagram caption, McComb’s new husband, Scott Michael Campbell, expressed his joy after the wedding. “BEYOND BLESSED for the most AMAZING week,” he gushed, “getting married to the BEAUTIFUL soul who is @heatmccomb.” Keeping things fairly succinct, he continued: “THANK YOU to ALL of our friends and family and all our newfound Friends and family!” McComb and Campbell are, like the late Van Der Beek, both actors. Comments poured in, congratulating them both on their nuptials. James Van Der Beek’s Ex-Wife Marries New Man was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Reading Time: 2 minutes Hold on to your rackets, tennis fans! The GOAT is officially returning to the court! Yes, nearly four years after stepping away from professional tennis, Serena Williams has announced that she will return to competition, ending months of speculation and setting the stage for one of the most remarkable comebacks the sport has ever seen. Now 44, Serena has not played a professional match since her emotional farewell at the 2022 U.S. Open. Serena Williams attends Netflix Is A Joke Festival Presents: The Roast of Kevin Hart at The Kia Forum on May 10, 2026 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Gonzalo Marroquin/Getty Images for Netflix) Since then, she has focused on business ventures, family life, and raising her daughters. But it turns out her retirement wasn’t quite permanent. Williams confirmed today that she will make her return at the Queen’s Club Championships in London, where she is expected to compete in doubles alongside rising Canadian star Victoria Mboko. The event serves as a major warm-up tournament ahead of Wimbledon. The announcement follows months of rumors about Serena’s possible return. Earlier this year, Williams quietly re-entered the International Tennis Integrity Agency’s testing pool, a required step for any retired player seeking to return to competition. At the time, she publicly denied that a comeback was in the works, telling fans on social media that she was “NOT coming back.” Apparently, her plans changed. Or perhaps Serena simply wasn’t ready to reveal them yet. Either way, the tennis world is buzzing. After all, we’re talking about a player who captured 23 Grand Slam singles titles, spent more than 300 weeks ranked No. 1 in the world and transformed women’s tennis in ways that are still being felt today. Many consider Williams the greatest player the sport has ever produced. The obvious question now is whether this return will be limited to doubles — or if something even bigger is coming. Some tennis analysts have already speculated that Wimbledon could be the next stop if her comeback goes well, especially given Williams’ legendary success on grass courts. She won seven Wimbledon singles titles during her career and remains one of the most dominant grass-court players the sport has ever seen. For now, however, fans are simply celebrating the news. Because after nearly four years away, Serena Williams is heading back onto a professional tennis court. And that’s a sentence many people never expected to read again.

Reading Time: 3 minutes May was Mental Health Awareness Month. Taylor Frankie Paul took the final day to update fans on how her life has been. The The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and The Bachelorette star told followers of her mental health struggles. She’s working on herself, and hoping to bring her youngest son back into her life.

(Photo Credit: Monica Schipper/Getty Images) ‘Balled it up in both shows, made some boys cry’ On Sunday, May 31, Taylor took to her Instagram with a life update about how things have been. She shared a series of photos, most of which detail her life as a mom. A few of them featured her shirt, a printed tee that reads: “If you find me offensive, then I suggest you quit finding me.” Taylor also weighed in on someone ranking reality TV personalities (she … did not come in first place). However, perhaps the biggest point of controversy was in her caption. “Still processing two shows were put on pause,” Taylor reflected in her caption. “Balled it up in both shows, made some boys cry,” she summarized, “and now I’m bawling.” Taylor mused: “What is life?” That’s a complex question, no matter the context. “Take it seriously, learn lessons but don’t forget to be silly too,” she advised. “It’s okay to smile again after making mistakes.” Taylor concluded: “Today is the last day of mental health awareness month and just know if you’re out there struggling you’re not alone.” Reality TV personality Taylor Frankie Paul raised some eyebrows with this May 31, 2026 Instagram caption. (Image Credit: Instagram) This is a subject near and dear to her heart Since 1949, May has been observed as Mental Health Awareness Month in the United States. Taylor has been fairly open about her mental health challenges. This has been both intentional — as you can see in the checklist below — and less deliberate, such as her on-screen behavior on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It is probably safe to say that, regardless of the actions of other people, such as her ex, Dakota Mortensen, her mental health has made her life significantly harder in both public and private ways. The therapy checklist that Taylor opted to share highlights this. When her therapist gave her a mental health checklist, it’s likely that no one expected Taylor Frankie Paul to publish it. (Image Credit: Instagram) These days, Taylor has only limited time with her son, Ever, whom she shares with Dakota. This week, she has a hearing to discuss custody matters. It seems possible that she will return to having more regular contact with her youngest son. In the mean time, rumors continue to claim that Taylor’s season of The Bachelorette will air in some form — possibly on Hulu. For now, it seems that Disney hopes that the dust will settle before they risk it. They already lost a lot of money, and are likely anxious about losing more.

Reading Time: 2 minutes We have more tragic details about the death of Matt Brown. As we previously reported, the Alaskan Bush People star’s body was recovered from a Washington river on Saturday. His younger brother, Noah Brown, revealed that he was the one who helped find and identify Matt. During a YouTube livestream, Matt Brown smoked, rambled, and partially disrobed while in a public park. It got worse than this. (Image Credit: YouTube) In a video posted to Instagram, Noah explained that he had been actively participating in the search effort for his older brother when the discovery was made. “We found my oldest brother, Matthew,” Noah said. “I identified it as Matthew. My oldest brother, Matthew Brown, has passed away.” According to Noah, he was present when search volunteers located Matt’s body in the river and helped bring him ashore before authorities arrived. “I was there when we pulled him out of the river,” Noah said, adding that he later formally identified his brother using documents found on him as well as visual confirmation. The reality star also thanked the volunteers, local residents and search groups who assisted in the effort, expressing gratitude to everyone who refused to give up hope during the search. He then apologized to friends and supporters he had not yet been able to contact personally and acknowledged the overwhelming grief his family is experiencing. “We hauled him up off the bank. And then, after the sheriffs got there and everything, the coroner did his thing, and I went down to identify that it was him,” Noah said, adding: “It’s definitely Matthew. His ID and Social Security card was on him, and I was able to visually identify that it was Matthew.” Perhaps most heartbreaking was Noah’s final message to his brother. “I’m sorry it came down to this,” he said through tears. Matt’s death has stunned fans of Alaskan Bush People, where he appeared as one of the original cast members when the Discovery Channel series premiered in 2014. He later stepped away from the show to focus on recovery after years of publicly documented struggles with substance abuse. The tragedy marks yet another painful loss for the Brown family, who also lost patriarch Billy Brown in 2021. At this time, officials have not released a final coroner’s report. However, Matt’s brother Bear Brown has publicly stated that the family believes his death was self-inflicted and has spoken openly about Matt’s long struggles with addiction and mental illness. For now, Noah’s words serve as a painful reminder that behind every headline is a grieving family trying to make sense of an unimaginable loss.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Some days, it seems like you can’t hurl a chair from a rooftop without hitting a Morgan Wallen fan. But he has once again found himself under scrutiny. Even though the singer has pleaded guilty and promised to remedy his ways, he still shows signs of behavioral problems. This time, the piece of furniture was a piano. One technical difficulty on stage, and he lashed out. In this still, Morgan Wallen performs on the same stage where he overturned a piano. (Image Credit: YouTube) The piano did not deserve this On Friday, May 29, the Country singer was performing at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. Despite his numerous scandals, Wallen continues to draw crowds. (So does Kanye West; some people just want to hear music and do not care about anything else.) On stage, the singer experienced technical problems during his performance of the song, “Sand in My Boots.” Finding that the instruments weren’t working to his satisfaction, 33-year-old Wallen tipped over the piano and walked away from it, finishing the song a cappella. Apparently, the sound from the piano wasn’t reaching Wallen or his audience. The concert it self was part of the singer’s “Lies Lies Lies” tour. Wallen began the tour on April 10. It is set to conclude later in the summer, on August 1. He has yet to publicly respond to the incident. In the video and on social media, responses are mixed. Come to think of it, this is not the first piece of furniture to get this kind of treatment Some of Wallen’s supporters (they are real and they do exist) have said that this was a playful moment on stage. However, some have noticed that the singer appears to have a history of “moments.” When Wallen has one of his “moments,” being a piece of furniture is ill-advised. Famously, he was arrested after throwing furniture off of a rooftop in Nashville. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Unfortunately, Wallen avoided any real consequences, which some believe means that his behavior will not change. It is not actually normal or healthy for someone to overturn a piano. Not merely because pianos are expensive and heavy, but because it’s not normal for people to overturn or destroy furniture. Whatever Wallen has going on with him, it has led him to make a series of very public mistakes like this. Some are assuming that, on his tour, he has fallen off of the wagon. We would caution that someone can make poor behavioral choices while entirely sober. We hope that he gets whatever help he needs.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Well, for better or worse, Euphoria wrapped up its run on HBO last night. And the response from critics has been less than euphoric, with some comparing the show’s final episode to other disastrous finales of recent years, including Game of Thrones and Stranger Things. The movie-sized, 100-minute finale brought most of the series’ major storylines to an end, but some viewers were not thrilled by the fact that the episode felt more like a Tarantino-esque action movie than a show about high school friends and rivals. The final episode of HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ left some fans downright furious. (HBO) “Move over, Game of Thrones and Stranger Things, there’s a new worst finale in town,” wrote Page Six critic Lauen Sarner. “Euphoria Season 3 ended the way it began: tawdry, tasteless, and squandering its all-star cast with ludicrous writing. The review went on to note some of the most common complaints about the finale, including the fact that after centering Sydney Sweeney’s OnlyFans storyline for much of the season, the writers treated Cassie like an afterthought in the finale. But at least by bringing her together with her best friend Maddie and sister Lexi to run a business catering to adult content creators, the show stops punishing Cassie for her decisions. “To the extent that anybody gets a ‘happy ending,’ it seems to be these three women living together in a weird large house with yellow decor,” Sarner wrote. Zendaya in the ‘Euphoria’ Season 3 finale. (HBO/YouTube) The same can’t be said for Zendaya’s Rue, who — as many predicted — passed away from an accidental Fentanyl overdose. Oddly, her death comes not in the final moments, but halfway through the episode. The climactic conclusion is instead reserved for a gun battle between one relatively minor character (albeit a beloved one, Colman Domingo’s Ali) and one who was just introduced this season (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje’s Alamo). A showdown between two men in their fifties probably isn’t the finale viewers would have predicted when this show about troubled teens got its start back in 2019. Of course, Euphoria has always thrived on defying expectations and confounding critics. Unfortunately, it’s not easy to continually raise the bar in terms of shock value — at least not without winding up in a thoroughly ridiculous place. Showrunner Sam Levinson likely knew that the finale would receive a divided response. But ironically, the Euphoria finale’s biggest sins had little to do with sex and violence and everything to do with bad pacing and unsatisfying character arcs. We’re sure Levinson is unconcerned, and the same can be said for his biggest star, Sydney Sweeney, who celebrated the finale with a massive carousel of pics of her most memorable Season 3 moments. Maybe Cassie was always destined for a happy ending. And maybe Sydney’s post is meant to remind us that Euphoria is just one small chapter in the story of her career. Whatever the case, many viewers have made note of the fact that HBO lists last night’s episode as a season finale, rather than a series finale. So we may not have seen the last of Cassie Howard.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Remember when we reported that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is under investigation? Investigators are now looking into yet another alleged wrongdoing. A wholly separate incident. This time, it’s an alleged wrongdoing at the Royal Ascot. He’s under investigation for sexual misconduct, for fraud, and more. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor attends the Funeral of the Duchess of Kent at Westminster Cathedral on September 16, 2025. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) This incident is from 2002 According to The Sunday Times, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is under investigation after an alleged incident at the Royal Ascot in 2002. Police say that they are “examining events in 2002 as they consider wider possible crimes by Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.” Authorities added that these potential crimes are “including sexual misconduct, ­corruption, and fraud.” The context is an alleged encounter with a woman. The Royal Ascot sounds like . . . almost anything English. But it is a racing festival of some renown for the residents of beans-on-toast island, and has been attended by numerous royals. We do not know more specific information about the 2002 incident at this time. Police did not specify if the interaction was only reported recently. Andrew has, for all of his life, enjoyed enormous protections against consequences for his actions. It is possible that his alleged wrongdoings were reported in 2002 but effective ignored or buried, due to his erstwhile status. But he is no longer a prince. He is, as he has always been, a man with money and privilege that he has never deserved. What we already know may just be the tip of the iceberg We previously reported that Thames Valley inspectors are looking into past misdeeds that the former prince may have committed. Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday. The arrested was on suspicion of misconduct in public office. And the specific misconduct was that he is accused of slipping classified information to Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein died — allegedly by suicide — in his cell back in 2019. Most of his associates have attained high places in governments and business, from top officials in the UK to Donald Trump himself. Andrew’s reputation has really never been good. However, things came to a head through a series of events — including a disastrous interview — made Andrew one of Epstein’s most infamous associates. Even so, his status as the son of Queen Elizabeth sheltered him from many things, even when she stripped him of specific honors. These were symbolic gestures, and not punishments. King Charles has publicly withdrawn further protections from Andrew, even stripping the monarch’s brother of his land and titles. That, too, is a symbolic gesture, but it allows investigations to proceed. Prince William and Kate Middleton are both said to despise their royal uncle due to his alleged crimes. Whether that is true or simply a story that the royal firm has released in order to distance the family from Andrew’s crimes remains unclear. Functionally, it probably doesn’t matter — he’s not getting any protection from one of the planet’s most powerful families as police investigate.

Reading Time: 2 minutes The tragic search for Matt Brown has come to a heartbreaking end. Just days after family members publicly expressed fears that the former Alaskan Bush People star had died, authorities and search crews reportedly located his body in a Washington river. He was 43 years old. During a YouTube livestream, Matt Brown smoked, rambled, and partially disrobed while in a public park. It got worse than this. (Image Credit: YouTube) According to TMZ, Brown’s body was discovered Saturday in the Okanogan River after an extensive search effort that had stretched on for several days. The discovery reportedly came after private search volunteers continued looking even after official search operations had been suspended because of dangerous river conditions. Brown’s brother, Bear Brown, confirmed the news in an emotional social media video. “They found a body in the river a few hours ago, and it was positively identified as Matt,” Bear said, adding that their younger brother Noah was present and helped identify and recover the body. At this time, an official cause of death has not been released, and authorities are awaiting further examination by the coroner. The discovery follows a week of growing concern about Brown’s well-being. Earlier reports indicated that family members had become alarmed after losing contact with him. Witnesses reportedly told authorities they had seen a man in the river near Oroville, Washington, before he was swept away by the current. A firearm was also reportedly recovered near the scene. Search crews spent days combing the area using boats, sonar equipment, divers, personal watercraft, and cadaver dogs. But worsening weather and rising water levels eventually forced officials to suspend active search efforts. Brown had struggled publicly with addiction for years and had become increasingly isolated from much of his family. He entered rehab in 2016 and later spoke openly about his battle with substance abuse. Family members previously told media outlets that they had become deeply concerned about his behavior in recent years. As the eldest member of the Brown family, Matt appeared in nearly 80 episodes of Alaskan Bush People between 2014 and 2019, becoming one of the most recognizable faces on the Discovery Channel series. Now, fans and loved ones are left mourning a reality star whose life was often marked by both adventure and struggle.

Reading Time: 2 minutes We have tragic news to report out of Hollywood today. Kelly Lee Curtis — the sister of Jamie Lee Curtis — has passed away at the age of 69. News of her death comes courtesy of a social media post from Jamie: Kelly Curtis and Jamie Lee Curtis during 2007 “What a Pair!” Benefiting the John Wayne Cancer Institute – Show at The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles, California, United States. (Photo by Alexandra Wyman/WireImage for BWR Public Relations) “A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis. She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace,” Curtis wrote, adding: “She was my first friend and lifelong confidant. She was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress. She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go. “She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot. “She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie. (Bluesky) “Kelly always signed off any message or fare thee well with a Hungarian blessing… “Isten Veled, God is with you. Isten Veled to my sister of the sun and the moon, my Tai. I’ll see you on down the line,” Jamie concluded. Jamie’s post has received an outpouring of support from fans and many of her famous friends. Kelly racked up dozens of film and television credits over the course of her career, including a recurring role on the TV series The Sentinel. She also appeared in the classic comedy film Trading Places, alongside Jamie. No cause of death has been announced at this time.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Over the Memorial Day long weekend, Donald Trump Jr. married Bettina Anderson. It was a relatively intimate ceremony in the Bahamas. Famously, even the father of the groom did not attend. Now, a report sheds light upon their family planning … and it may come sooner rather than later. Is Bettina already pregnant? Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson in Mar-a-lago Mar-a-Lago on February 1, 2026. (Photo Credit: Al Drago/Getty Image) ‘Both of them have told friends that they plan on having kids together’ The Daily Mail reports that Don Jr and Bettina Anderson are excited to start their family. They plan to get to work on it pretty much right away. “Both of them have told friends that they plan on having kids together,” an inside source dished. “I’ve never seen Don so happy on a personal level,” the insider commented. The source added: “It’s pretty clear to those of us who know him well, that Bettina is a perfect match for him.” “They both have very laid back and easy-going personalities that click really well,” the insider then claimed. It is good to remember that who people are as public figures tends to vary from who they are in private. According to the source: “You can tell that they genuinely love being around each other.” Another insider dished: “Bettina wants to start her own family, no question about it.” That source then added: “She’s really looking forward to that prospect.” There’s a logistical element to this Realistically, Bettina is 39 years old. Pregnancy is possible at that age. But it would be a geriatric pregnancy. Someone who is 39 years old might attempt to conceive naturally. However, IVF or even a gestational carrier seems like a logical choice. And, given that she’d already be looking at giving birth as a 40-year-old, it’s probably smart to aim for that sooner rather than later. Given how much Don Jr. and Eric have reportedly made off of their father retaking power, paying for fertility treatments shouldn’t be an issue. If they’re hoping for a natural conception, it can happen. But if they’re serious about having kids together, they’ll consider other options. In fact, they probably have. Plenty of people have private discussions without telegraphing their plans. Bettina Anderson: Already Pregnant With Don Jr.’s Baby? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Ever since Netflix’s The Crash made her infamous overnight, Mackenzie Shirilla has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. First, there were reports of Mackenzie’s texts to Dominic Russo ahead of the vehicular homicide that landed her behind bars. Then there was the news about Shirilla’s behavior behind bars. The infamous Mackenzie Shirilla appears in this mugshot. (Photo Credit: Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction) Yes, according to multiple reports, the 21-year-old convicted killer has been up to all sorts of bad behavior in prison. According to newly revealed prison conduct records obtained by TMZ, Shirilla has racked up multiple disciplinary infractions while serving her sentence for the 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend, Russo, and his friend, Davion Flanagan. TMZ reports that prison officials cited Shirilla for several rule violations during her time behind bars, including allegations tied to sexual misconduct. In addition to “consensual sexual conduct” with other inmates, Shirilla allegedly engaged in a sexually explicit video call, during which, authorities say, she showed her breasts to a visitor. The visitor then allegedly showed Shirilla “her breast with a dildo sticking out of her pants twice” before finally walking into frame fully naked. Mackenzie has also been accused of prescription drug abuse and possession of sexually explicit materials. Her lawyers deny the drug use allegations. Shirilla, now 21, is currently serving a lengthy sentence after being convicted in one of the country’s most closely watched vehicular homicide cases. Back in 2022, prosecutors argued that Shirilla intentionally drove a vehicle at nearly 100 mph into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio, killing 20-year-old Russo and 19-year-old Flanagan. The case drew national attention because prosecutors insisted the crash was no accident. In 2023, Shirilla was convicted of murder, aggravated vehicular homicide, and felonious assault after the court determined she had intentionally caused the deadly collision. She was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison, and the Neftflix documentary about her case recently became a global sensation. Shirilla has maintained her innocence, and her legal team previously argued the crash stemmed from mental health struggles and emotional turmoil rather than an intentional attempt to kill anyone. Now, the newly surfaced prison reports are offering another glimpse into her life behind bars. Whether the violations ultimately affect her incarceration or future legal proceedings remains unclear. But for a case that has continued to fascinate true crime followers, the revelations are likely to spark yet another round of debate online.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Last week, we reported on the news that former Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown was spotted rambling and undressing in a public park. For obvious reasons, the news sparked fear among fans, and sadly, it seems the situation has only deteriorated in the days since. Now, the estranged son of the late Billy Brown has sparked fresh concern after unusual activity on his Facebook page left followers wondering whether something may be wrong. During a YouTube livestream, Matt Brown smoked, rambled, and partially disrobed while in a public park. It got worse than this. (Image Credit: YouTube) According to TMZ, fans recently noticed a string of strange posts appearing on Matt’s account, prompting speculation about his well-being and whether someone else may have access to the page. The activity reportedly stood out enough that followers began voicing concern in the comments. Matt, who has largely lived outside the spotlight in recent years, has faced a long and very public road filled with personal struggles, including battles with addiction and strained relationships with members of his famous family. That history makes any sign of unusual behavior especially alarming. TMZ reports that Matt has been sharing posts that don’t resemble his usual content. Some of the posts, followers allege, make it sound as though he’s made peace with the end. “Feelings shift. Priorities change. Connections fade. That’s part of life, no matter how painful it is to accept,” he wrote in one Facebook message, adding: “At the end of the day, your relationship with yourself is the one that must survive every version of your life.” “Sometimes, the hardest task you must do everyday is to keep going. You know you can just lay there on your bed the whole day, but something inside you whispers hope to get up and urge you to fix yourself,” he wrote in a separate post, adding: “I know all this time, you’ve been trying hard to survive a day with deep sadness and you’ve been trying to find an escape from it. It is not easy darling, it will never be easy to pick yourself up again after a great downfall. “One thing that you should keep in mind is that whether you’re okay or not, time won’t just stop for you, you may be tired of trying to fix yourself over and over again, but trust your own strength darling. Tell yourself that you will never give up till the day you found your happiness.” The reality personality has spent years largely separated from the rest of the Brown family following allegations of substance abuse and family conflict. He has previously spoken openly about attending rehab and working to rebuild his life after periods of instability. The situation seems to have worsened in the years since the death of patriarch Billy Brown. Matt also became estranged from several relatives after making accusations against members of the family and stepping away from the Discovery Channel series that made the Browns famous. Since then, fans have mostly followed his life through occasional social media updates, making the recent Facebook activity all the more noticeable. Matt’s estranged brother, Bear Brown, claims that Matt was recently seen near a river and was later observed floating in the water. Bear’s fears have not yet been confirmed, and it is not clear if authorities are currently searching for Matt. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Next week marks what would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday. The occasion has sparked renewed interest in the screen icon’s turbulent life and times. Of course, Marilyn is different from other stars of her era in that the public’s fascination with her brief career has never really waned. But despite the decades of scrutiny, new claims are still being made about Marilyn, and the latest involves the other biggest star of the 1950s. Actress Marilyn Monroe poses for a portrait laying on the grass in 1954 in Palm Springs, California. (Photo by Baron/Hulton Archive/Getty Images) Yes, according to Byron Raphael, a friend and employee of Elvis Presley’s, the King of Rock and Roll and the Queen of the Silver Screen enjoyed a “glorious” one-night stand. “Elvis had never seen Marilyn, then in the early summer of 1960, the two most explosive and legendary sex symbols of their era sized each other up in the street in front of a soundstage at Twentieth Century Fox, and came away unnerved,” a source close to the situation recently told Radar Online. In newly resurfaced comments, Raphael recalled that Elvis approached Marilyn “in his usual self-deprecating way, his soft baritone edged in southern charm” and said, “‘Hello, my name is Elvis Presley. How are you, Miss Monroe?’” “Elvis asked her if she would like to come to a party that he was giving the next night,” Raphael shared with Alanna Nash, author of Baby, Let’s Play House: Elvis Presley and the Women Who Loved Him. “She looked at the guys and said ‘I’m sorry. I can’t, but thank you’ and kind of dashed away. He was very embarrassed, but I think she turned him down because she felt it was too public,” he added. At the time, Monroe was married to the legendary playwright Arthur Miller, but according to Raphael, the marriage “wasn’t going well.” “But, as marriages go in those days, in New York, you had to be very careful, because there was fault divorces, rather than no-fault divorces,” Raphael explained. “Adultery could not only mean money, but tremendous scandal.” Raphael claims he was there on the fateful night when Elvis and Marilyn crossed paths for the second time — and tumbled into bed together. “They came together and, without saying a word, started kissing,” Raphael recalled. “I was in shock and I didn’t know what to do. Then Marilyn, who was about 10 years older, said, ‘You’re pretty good for a guitar player.’ “After two minutes, they went into the bedroom, and I didn’t know if I was supposed to leave, or stay and wait for them, so I sort of just dozed off.” But Raphael was “startled awake” by the bedroom door opening and Elvis and Marilyn walking out “stark naked.” While it was certainly (allegedly) a night to remember, Raphael says he never mentioned it to another soul while Presley and Monroe were still alive. “A few days later, when I mentioned Marilyn to Elvis, he said, ‘She’s a nice gal, but a little tall for me,'” he said. “I knew that this was the sort of thing that could ruin their careers. They were two of the most famous people in the world, and Marilyn was still married to Arthur Miller at the time — so I never said a word.” It’s a testament to the enduring power of Marilyn’s legacy that 64 years after her death, claims about her love life can still make headlines.

Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s been a long time coming. About a decade ago, Brad Pitt alienated his children and ended his marriage in one fell swoop. Now, Maddox Jolie-Pitt has filed to legally change his surname to “Jolie.” Good for him! Actress Angelina Jolie and her son Maddox arrive for the White House state dinner for the South Korean President on April 26, 2023. (Photo Credit: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) What will his new name be? On Thursday, May 28, The Daily Mail reported that 24-year-old Maddox has officially filed to drop “Pitt” from his name. His new legal name will be Maddox Chivan Jolie. In the filing, he listed the reason for the request as “personal.” (These forms tend to have specific options, like how one might amend their name due to a marriage or divorce.) Name changes are a headache. But this particular change has been a long time coming. Maddox had already stopped using his father’s surname earlier this year. For example, in the credits of Couture, he was listed simply as Maddox Jolie. (Yes, Couture was Angelina’s film.) Informally dropping his dad’s surname from his own is one thing. Filing to legally change his name truly feels like a healing moment for Maddox. And he’s not alone. How many Pitts are left? Shiloh was the first of the children to file for a legal name change. She made the filing on her 18th birthday. (For years, she’d been presented in tabloids as a “daddy’s girl” who wished that her parents would simply reconcile. One cannot help but wonder if this name change filing was, in part, a response this this narrative.) Also in 2024, Zahara introduces herself as Zahara Marley Jolie when she joined her Spelman College sorority. Pax also ditched the Pitt name, albeit informally. In fact, thus far, the only Jolie children who seem to have “Pitt” as part of their names are Knox and Vivienne. The twins are both 17. When they turn 18, maybe they’ll keep the Pitt surname. But maybe not. We’ll find out. Angelina Jolie filed to divorce Brad Pitt in 2016. The divorce process was lengthy and painful, only being finalized in 2024. Allegedly, Pitt attacked her and at least one of his children during a private flight. Angelina took that personally, as she should. It appears that her children did the same. Maddox actually testified against his father. Ditching daddy dearest’s name really isn’t much of a surprise. Some people keep the surname of a parent with whom they have gone no contact, out of convenience or to match their names with siblings. But, in Maddox’s case, keeping his father’s surname would make him the odd man out in his family. Maddox Jolie Files to Ditch ‘Pitt’ Surname was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Reading Time: 2 minutes America is celebrating its semiquincentennial this year, but because that’s a mouthful, most media outlets and government agencies have opted to refer to the anniversary as “America 250.” And while the atmosphere in 2026 doesn’t feel especially celebratory, the federal government is forging ahead with its party plans. Unfortunately, patriotic celebrants wind up dancing to AI-generated music because it seems like there’s not a musician on the planet who’s willing to go anywhere near this mess.

But just weeks before the concerts were set to begin, numerous headliners, including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, and “I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states,” McBride wrote on social media Thursday. “Yesterday things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening.” Bret Michaels, of the band Poison, revealed that he won’t be there. pic.twitter.com/Ono3zPi54Z — Martina McBride (@martinamcbride) May 29, 2026 “Unfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of,” he said. “Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.” Numerous other artists, including Morris Day and the Time, Young MC, and the Commodores have also abruptly dropped out. “Our music has always been our voice and we choose not to publicly affiliate with any single political party,” the Commodores said in a statement. “We support the betterment of all Americans.” But the sh-tshow must go on — at least that seems to be the response from the Trump administration. “Freedom 250 is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) dedicated to uniting Americans around the nation’s 250th anniversary,” Freedom 250 spokesperson Rachel Reisner said in a statement to CBS News. “Freedom 250 is focused on our signature celebrations and events that honor our history and engage all Americans — welcoming all who share our goal of commemorating this milestone in a way that uplifts and unites America.” Needless to say, statements tepidly arguing for the event’s right to exist probably were not what organizers had in mind when they started the planning process. But hey, it’s not all bad news! Vanilla Ice announced this week that he still intends to perform as scheduled! “Vanilla Ice is contracted and will perform at the Great American Fair at the National Mall on Friday, June 26,” Mr. Ice’s management agency told CBS News in an email. “He is proud to help celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary! Everyone is welcome to attend and celebrate USA’s Birthday and our Freedom!” Yes, folks, the Great American State Fair is saved. In other news, Vanilla Ice apparently has enough songs to justify an entire concert.
