It isn’t every day that Prince William saves his mother-in-law from a disaster. Let alone in public. Following Kate Middleton’s surprise appearance at Trooping the Colour, many feel more hopeful about her long-term prospects. Even so, she’s spending a lot of time resting — and with family. That includes her own parents, Michael and Carole Middleton. When disaster struck with Carole, son-in-law William stepped in to save the day.

(Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Prince William saved his mother-in-law from a shoe-related disaster Who’d have pegged William as a hero? On June 19, Prince William attended the Royal Ascot. At times, his schedule and that of royalty from five centuries ago appears indistinguishable (except for shorter travel times). He was not there alone. Mother-in-law Carole Middleton and father-in-law Michael Middleton were there with him. This is where mini-disaster struck. Prince William, the Prince of Wales, arrives at the Order Of The Garter Service at Windsor Castle on June 17, 2024. (Photo Credit: Isabel Infantes – WPA Pool/Getty Images) During this event, Carole Middleton’s heel became stuck in the grass. In fact, the shoe came off of her foot entirely. This was embarrassing, but can also be dangerous. If you know anyone who’s ever had to be hospitalized for an injury from slipping on grass, you don’t need us to tell you that. Fortunately, William was on-hand — or, perhaps, on-foot — to race to her rescue.

(Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Prince William has done this before Specifically, William held mother-in-law Carole’s hand while she put her shoe back on. The two appeared to be laughing at the time, People reports. So, thankfully, it doesn’t sound like the shoe crisis resulted in, say, an ankle injury. Notably, this is not a new trick for William. He has performed this same service before — for Carole’s daughter, Kate. Prince William, Prince of Wales looks on as he attends day two of Royal Ascot 2024 at Ascot Racecourse on June 19, 2024. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Back in 2013, Princess Kate — who was, at the time, merely a Duchess — became stuck. Her shoe incident was not on the grass, but in a grate. This was at the Irish Guards’ St. Patrick’s Day parade. At that time, Prince William helped his wife by providing her physical support while she extricated herself from the grate. Phew! Prince William waves to the crowd after attending the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle on June 17, 2024. (Photo Credit: Kirsty Wigglesworth – WPA Pool/Getty Images) If you’re wondering about Prince William’s attire William had to wear a top hat while hanging out with his in-laws. While the Prince of Wales could do very well as a “hat guy,” in this case, he was dressed in this comical style to fit the area’s dress code. This included a waistcoat and necktie. All to watch horses run. Beans-on-Toast Island is a fascinating place. Prince William Saves Mother-in-Law from Wardrobe Disaster was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

How exactly did Travis Scott get his name? In the wake of his June 2024 arrest, people are seeing his real name and wondering how on Earth his alias came to be. Because Travis Scott is very much a stage name. For that, look no further than his children with Kylie Jenner, who do not have the “Scott” surname. Many people in the music industry, particularly the world of rap, operate under pseudonyms. Not all of them are as seemingly ordinary as “Travis Scott.” So how did that become the name by which the world knows Jacques Webster II? Travis Scott performs onstage during the 66th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 04, 2024. (Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) What is Travis Scott’s real name? The 33-year-old rapper whom the world knows as Travis Scott is not from the Scott family. And his name is not Travis. Travis Scott’s actual name is Jacques Bermon Webster II. His parents are Wanda and Jacques Webster Sr. And his siblings’ names are Jordan Webster and Joshua Webster. Travis Scott attends 2023 GQ Men of the Year at Bar Marmont on November 16, 2023. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) It’s kind of funny that both Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner come from unconventional naming conventions families. Speaking of which, his children with Kylie are Stormi Webster and Aire Webster. (Aire’s name was previously “Wolf”) Travis Scott looks on with the Washington Nationals mascot prior to a game against the Houston Astros at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches on February 24, 2024. (Photo Credit: Rich Storry/Getty Images) How did Travis Scott get his name? In September of 2014 — long before his viral Me Hoy Minoy moment or his even more attention-grabbing impregnation of Kylie Jenner — he explained it. At the time, Travis Scott sat down for a Q&A with Grantland after Days Before Rodeo‘s release. The first part of his stage name is simple — as it comes from his favorite uncle. “My uncle’s name is Travis,” he explained. “He was like my favorite uncle. My favorite relative.” He characterized: “I looked up to him and s–t. That n---a was just cool as f–k. He always just had swag. He played golf and s–t. He just had swag.” Travis then praised: “That n---a was just smart. Always made good decisions, good business decisions.” Travis Scott performs onstage during the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena on September 23, 2023. (Photo Credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Images) As for the Scott surname, that also has a story In 2018, Travis Scott sat down with Jimmy Fallon to explain that Scott stems from Kid Cudi’s real name. Kid Cudi is a stage name — for Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi. So, very simply, Travis Scott fused his uncle with Kid Cudi, and came up with the name by which the world knows him. Travis Scott looks on during batting practice before Game Four of the Championship Series between the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field on October 19, 2023. (Photo Credit: Stacy Revere/Getty Images) Since selecting that stage name, Travis Scott has seen his career rise within the music industry. The Houston native signed his first record deal back in 2012. He is also a style icon, blending streetwear with high-end fashion. Even so, he remains best known — to many — as Kylie Jenner’s ex and the father of her two children. But that’s life when you hook up with a member of that famous family.

Kylie Jenner finally broke down on Thursday night. While speaking with sister Kendall, the 26-year old addressed the criticism she so often faces online when it comes to her appearance… most notably the hate she garnered from how she looked at a recent Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show. In response, a bunch of total strangers slammed Jenner for looking “old” at this event. Kylie Jenner can’t hold the tears in any longer. (Hulu) “It’s like a miracle I that I still have confidence and I can still look in the mirror and think that I’m pretty,” Kylie told Kendall, explaining that she chose NOT to wear as much makeup as she usually does to the aforementioned show. “I go and I don’t wear a lot of makeup and someone catches me in a weird light,” she said of some of the photos in question, which we’ve posted down below. “You can look at pictures since I’m 13, I just have these lines, but I’ve had them since I was like a child.” Kylie Jenner attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Aliah Anderson/Getty Images) It’s been part for the unfortunate course that Kylie continues to be judged in this way, from questions over whether she’s pregnant to critiques over a simple outfit she has selected. “I hear nasty things about myself all the time,” she continued in a confessional on this latest reality show episode. “I don’t think it’s this particular headline that makes me feel vulnerable or hits me harder. I think it’s just after 10+ years, it just gets exhausting.” Should Kylie, Kendall, Kim Kardashian and/or any member of this famous family just STFU because they’ve asked to be in the spotlight? No, Kendall argues. Kylie Jenner attends the Vanity Fair Oscars Party at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California, on March 10, 2024. (Photo by Michael TRAN / AFP) (Photo by MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) “I think that’s a general thing with my family. We’re dehumanized. They don’t think that there’s any rules with us,” said Kendall, who thinks trolls get away with bashing her loved ones more than most celebrities. “For some reason for us, they don’t think we have any feelings,” she added. For years, of course, Kylie has been dealing with comments over her lip filters. “Why do people think it’s okay to talk about me?” she asked on air… while crying.

(Photo by Pascal Le Segretain/Getty) “I’ve never cried about this before, but I guess it does affect me,” Kylie later told her sibling, noting that so many critics think she’s fair game “because she did it to herself, she f-cked up her face, she has so much surgery.” “Even if I did get so much surgery … I still don’t think It’s okay to talk about someone’s looks,” Kylie went on. “People have been talking about my looks since I was 12, 13, before I got lip filler. It’s so hurtful. I look ‘old.’ I see it under every post.” After Kendall offered some kind words of reassurance, Kylie said to the camera that “there’s only so much someone can take,” vowing to “rise above” because she has “sh-t to do.” New episodes of The Kardashians drop Thursdays on Hulu.

Suri Cruise has herself a boyfriend – a high school sweetheart as she says good-bye to high school! Now that Suri Cruise is 18, she’s ready to embark upon her adult life. She already knows where she’s going to college, of course. But she had one last high school rite of passage: the senior prom. And she didn’t go alone. Who’s her handsome arm candy? As it turns out, he’s a talented young man who’ll be going to school just a few hours away from Suri. Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise arrive the opening night premiere of “In The Heights” during the Tribeca Festival at the United Palace Theatre on June 9, 2021. (Photo Credit: ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images) Who is Suri Cruise’s Boyfriend? Suri Cruise attended her high school prom. She attended with a date on her arm. The Daily Mail reports that the handsome young man was Toby Cohen, a budding musician who has been posting videos to social media for years. It makes sense that two talented teens might find that they have enough in common to attend prom together. Katie Holmes attends the Roundabout Theatre Company’s 2024 Gala at The Ziegfeld Ballroom on March 04, 2024. (Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Here’s what we know: On Wednesday, June 19, eyewitnesses spotted Suri Cruise holding hands with Toby Cohen as they headed to the school dance. Cohen is a senior at LaGuardia High School. He is also a singer and a songwriter — who has been active on social media for years, but appears to have hidden or removed a lot of his old content. Why? Probably because people all over the world are learning his name. Who is Toby Cohen? To put it in meme language, he’s just a guy. He’s a teenager who has appeared on TikTok and YouTube, singing and playing the piano. Sometimes, he plays with others. Other times, he performs solo. It’s likely that he did not expect a sudden barrage of (presumably unwanted) public attention. A fameseeker might have had every social media page ready for thousands of nosy people to check out. A prom date might go private for a few days or more. Suri Cruise received an acceptance letter from Pittsburgh’s highly prestigious Carnegie Mellon University. Meanwhile, Toby Cohen will reportedly be studying at Berklee. By plane, that is only a couple of hours away. Long drives are also an option. If, of course, they choose to see each other during college. Katie Holmes attends the Ulla Johnson fashion show during New York Fashion Week on February 11, 2024. (Photo Credit: Manny Carabel/Getty Images) Is he actually Suri Cruise’s boyfriend? It’s pretty important to emphasize that neither Suri nor Toby have said anything of the sort to the public. In fact, Suri has seemed relatively private despite the fame of her parents, their erstwhile relationship, and of course Katie Holmes’ infamous divorce from Tom Cruise. And judging by the blackout of his social media, Toby Cohen would appear to be (very reasonably) a little fame-shy. We don’t know if they’re boyfriend and girlfriend. Sometimes friends go to the prom, and even a date doesn’t mean that a datemate title is involved. By all appearances, he was her prom date. We hope that they had a wonderful time.

Hollywood has lost a legend. And Kiefer Sutherland has lost a parent. As previously reported, Donald Sutherland passed away on June 20 in Miami after battling an unknown illness. The veteran actor was 88 years old. Donald Sutherland and Kiefer Sutherland attend the Momentum Pictures’ screening of “Forsaken” at the Autry Museum of the American West on February 16, 2016 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jesse Grant/Getty Images) Over the course of a seven-decade long career, Sutherland played major roles in hit movies, such as Mr. Bennet in 2005’s Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley and Hawkeye Pierce in 1970’s MAS*H. He also had numerous notable film roles in movies that includes Ordinary People (1980) and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), along with the evil President Snow in all four Hunger Games movies opposite Jennifer Lawrence and others. Sutherland earned an Emmy for the 1995 TV movie Citizen X and took home an Honorary Academy Award in 2017 “for a lifetime of indelible characters, rendered with unwavering truthfulness.” Most recently, the later star appeared on on television programs The Undoing, Trust and Swimming with Sharks.

(Photo by Jesse Grant/Getty Images) Donald Sutherland is survived by five children, including fellow actor Kiefer Sutherland. “With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” the latter wrote in a statement on his social media platforms. “I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.” You can see Kiefer’s Tweet here: With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away.

The black-and-white image features the loved ones from when Kiefer was a child … with the pair gathered closely as they pose for the camera. At this point, Kiefer is likely best known for his long-running role on the drama 24. The father-son duo starred together in projects a number of occasions throughout the years, including the movies “Max Dugan Returns” (1983), “Forsaken” (2015) and “A Time to Kill” (1996). Donald Sutherland and Kiefer Sutherland attend the “Forsaken” premiere during the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival at Roy Thomson Hall on September 16, 2015 in Toronto, Canada. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) In 2022, Kiefer told The Guardian how his famous father’s career inspired his own Hollywood journey. “It’s hard to think of another actor who’s been as prolific and made films as diverse as Ordinary People, Don’t Look Now, Fellini’s Casanova, Bertolucci’s 1900 and The Hunger Games,” he said back then. “His influence was to make my career as diversified and interesting as possible, which he taught me by doing, not by saying, which was really cool.” A private celebration of life in honor of Donald Sutherland will be held by the family at a later date. We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Donald Sutherland. May he rest in peace.

(Photo by Jesse Grant/Getty Images) Donald Sutherland’s Cause Of Death: Kiefer’s Dad Passes Away The sad news was reported and confirmed on June 20th that Donald Sutherland, at the age of 88, passed away. “With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away,” actor Kiefer Sutherland posted on his social media. “I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.” A life well lived indeed, though not without it’s troubles. While an official cause of death has not yet been announced, Donald suffered greatly with several illnesses over the years. Born in Canada, Donald Sutherland barely survived a series of childhood diseases, including infantile paralysis, rheumatoid fever and spinal meningitis. He talked about his struggles at length in his book, “Made Up, But Still True,” which is due to be published later this year.

(VALERY HACHE/AFP via Getty Images) His Near Death Experience In the 1970s Living to be in his 80’s almost didn’t come to pass. In an interview in 2012, Donald recounted contracting spinal meningitis, which left him medically dead for four seconds back in 1970. “I got sick in the middle of shooting ‘Kelly’s Heroes’. I came to Yugoslavia for a day’s filming and I was out for six weeks,” the actor recalled in the interview. “They took me to hospital – I had spinal meningitis. “They didn’t have the antibiotics, so I went into a coma, and they tell me that for a few seconds, I died.” Thankfully, he didn’t, allowing him the time to craft a career that awarded him a Primetime Emmy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Critics Choice Award. Sadly, he was one of the best actors never to have received an Academy Award nomination. Thankfully, he was recognized with an honorary Oscar in 2017.

From there, he was cast as Capt. “Hawkeye” Pierce in 1970’s comedy smash hit “MASH.” In more recent years, he’s known to millennial fans for his role as Mr. Bennet alongside Keira Knightley in the film adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice”. He also appeared as the evil President Snow in all four of the original “Hunger Games” films.

On the latest episode of her family’s reality show, Kim Kardashian dropped an interesting bombshell. In the wake of her portrayal as an evil publicist named Siobhan Corbyn on American Horror Story: Delicate, the former sex tape participant got candid about her future in the entertainment industry. And why she knows it may not last forever. Kim Kardashian attends a game between the Atlanta Dream and the Los Angeles Sparks in the first half at Walter Pyramid on May 15, 2024 in Long Beach, California. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) “I didn’t have an agent, and then after American Horror Story… all these different people wanted to meet,” Kardashian explained to her friends, adding at the time: “We literally spent a day, we went to all the studios, and everyone called within, like, 20 minutes with offers.” Kim actually isn’t terrible in the aforementioned series. She also pretended back in the day as if she really enjoy sleeping with Ray J on camera, so her acting ability may be far more superior than many had previously assumed. Kim Kardashian attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) As it turns out, Kardashian broke the news on this episode that she will star in a Netflix film titled The Fifth Wheel, which she described as an ensemble “full comedy” from the mind of writer Paula Pell. Kim will even serve as a producer on the project. “I wasn’t planning on this career, and I was like, ‘Okay, I’m not gonna get ahead of myself here,'” she said on air. “I’m really nervous about it, because I have to f-cking deliver…. Every year I want to do something that makes me so uncomfortable that I really have to challenge myself.” Kim Kardashian attends a roundtable discussion on criminal justice reform hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris in the Roosevelt Room at the White House on April 25, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) In terms of her acting range, meanwhile, Kim came across as pretty funny and very self-aware during this portion of The Kardashians installment. “I feel like you need less Botox for more emotion, and I do not have that,” she joked. “How am I gonna be scared? How am I gonna cry?” At the recent Tom Brady Roast, of course, Kim was compared to a robot who lacked any and all aspects of being an actual human. She didn’t go that far in her own self-assessment. But is at least able to laugh off the metaphor. Kim Kardashian attends the GQ Men of the Year Party 2023 VIP dinner at Chateau Marmont on November 16, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for GQ) Via a confessional, Kardashian also looked ahead and made a startling statement. “I can do a movie a year,” she said the camera with a laugh. “I’ve got about 10 years where I still look good, so that’s all I’ve got in me, and then I’ll take some time off.” We’re not certain how serious Kardashian was being at this time, but it’s a revealing admission. Kim seems to understand that her fame is largely based on her looks above anything else — and that Hollywood is unfortunately known for ignoring older woman who are unable to maintain a youthful or sexy appearance. We’ll see for how much longer Kim Kardashian is able to stay in the spotlight, but we think we all know the real answer to long-term success is for her to stop insulting Taylor Swift. It’s clear she’s losing this battle. Kim Kardashian Says She’ll Be Ugly Soon, Announces Plans to Retire was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Collin Gosselin is off to college this fall, according to his father, a year after he enlisted with the Marines. The most talked about son of Kate and Jon Gosselin seems to have abandoned his ambitions of being in the military for higher learning. But what exactly happened there? How did he go from basic training to freshman orientation? Here’s what we know. Kate Gosselin no longer speaks to son Collin. It’s very sad. (TLC) Collin Gosselin’s Marine Life Ambitions: He’s ‘Always Wanted To Do It” Over the years, much has changed about the dynamics of the Gosselin family. First, Kate and Jon divorced. Then, as their children started to grow, they chose sides. For Collin Gosselin, his father was the clear choice, after what Kate allegedly put him through as a child and her smear campaign against him as an adult. But as an adult, he was ready to make a decision about his future and expressed excitement to join the military. In 2023, he started basic training with the Marines, a move his dad Jon Gosselin and his girlfriend Stephanie Lebo gushed about to Entertainment Tonight. “Collin’s super independent,” he shared of his son. “He lived on his own a little bit during high school. Like, he just wanted to experience that … [Then] he enlisted at 18 and he left when he was 19.” During his military training, Collin sent Jon “letters” talking about the early mornings, his studies, and his happiness over being in a “very structured” schedule, as Stephanie put it. “It’s what he’s always wanted to do,” Jon acknowledged. (Entertainment Tonight) Now, Collin Is Off To College That interview was in 2023, some time after Collin finished high school. Fast forward to the spring of 2024, and Jon told reporters that his son is actually starting college in the fall. In speaking to E! News‘ Francesca Amiker at the grand opening of the Beverly Hills Rejuvenation Center’s brand new West Hollywood location, Jon explained that he’s an “empty nester” now that both Collin and Hannah have left home. Hannah was the other sextuplet to choose life with Jon over her mother Kate and started college last year. But Jon was clear that Collin would be starting school THIS fall. He made no mention of his son’s time with the Marines, or clarified where his son was actually going to school. Instead, he focused on himself and what their departure has meant for him. “Hannah and Collin store their stuff in my house. They don’t really live there. But it’s a different time for me in my life only because, one day they’re in my house, and then the next day they’re not.” Is Collin Gosselin Still Enlisted With The Marines? The short answer is – most likely. It is possible to be enlisted AND enrolled in college. The path isn’t easy, but it is still doable. Collin hinted that his plan was to pursue both paths in his graduation announcement in 2023 on Instagram. “This chapter of my life has come to a close,” he said in the caption, alongside a photo of himself and sister Hannah in their graduation garb. “Next stop Parris Island,” he added, “and soon after I will be studying Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in college! Can’t wait!” So, he had big ambitions and it sounds like he’s chasing after them! Good for him!

Could Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel be headed towards a split? Things have not looked good for the pair for the last few years. Between accusations of cheating, bombshells in Britney Spears’ memoir and now Justin’s embarrassing arrest, it feels like JT has been testing his wife’s patience for the better part of a decade. Now, it’s starting to sound like his long-suffering wife is no longer in a forgiving mood. Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake attend Children’s Hospital Los Angeles 2022 CHLA Gala at Barker Hangar on October 08, 2022 in Santa Monica, California. (Photo by Momodu Mansaray/Getty Images) Justin’s Making It Hard for Jessica To Stay Let’s review the facts. Rumors began flying that Justin and Jessica were headed towards a divorce in 2019. As you may recall, that was the year when Justin was accused of cheating on Jessica with Alisha Wainwright, his co-star in the film, Palmer. During filming, Justin and Alisha were spotted getting a little handsy with one another, but it seems that Jessica decided to overlook that indiscretion. JT publicly apologized for the Alisha incident shortly after those on-set photos went viral. “I regret my behavior,” he said, insisting that while he had acted inappropriately, he never actually cheated on Biel. But then there was the shameful reveals in Britney Spears’ book about what went down in their relationship. Among other claims, Britney alleged that Timberlake cheated on her and pressured her to get an abortion. Apparently, it was the first that Jessica had heard of these incidents, and Britney’s claims led her to rethink certain events in her own relationship to Justin. And if all of this red flag behavior wasn’t enough, Justin found himself IN JAIL in the summer of 2024. While Jessica was at work filming a new show, JT was partying with his pals in the Hamptons. He got behind the wheel after supposedly only “one martini” but later found himself behind bars with a DWI charge. So, can all of this actually be forgiven?

(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Justin Timberlake-Jessica Biel Split: Is It Really Happening? After years of rumors and speculation, there’s plausible reason to believe that Timberlake and Biel might really be on the verge of separation. “Rumors are swirling that he and Jessica are headed for a split,” a source close to the couple tells Life & Style. “Though they do love each other, all of the couples therapy they’ve undergone simply isn’t fixing some of their underlying issues.” The couple married in 2012, and they’ve since welcomed two sons, Silas, 8, and Phinneas, 3. But despite their best efforts, it seems that Justin and Jessica’s marriage may have run its course. And the insider says there’s no clearer evidence than the couple’s recent real estate maneuvers.

(Photo by Leon Bennett/Getty Images) “Friends say it’s a sign they’re getting their finances in order,” says the source, adding: “At one point, they retreated to another home, in Montana, in the hopes of getting away from drama and starting over, but you can’t run away from your problems.” Now, real estate moves are clear indicators of trouble. Just look at Bennifer selling their mansion! However, that pair seem to be clinging to married life for dear life – even though it just got that much more complicated.

(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Justin’s Leaving Jessica To Go On Tour – And She’s Not Happy In January 2024, Justin announced that he’d be going on his first world tour in over 5 years to support his new album, Everything I Thought It Was. It released on March 15 to minor success, but the tour got fans out in droves. In 2018 and 2019, he played shows in support of his record, Man of the Woods, but that was the last time he was on the stage. The tour meant he’d be away from Jessica and their kids for weeks during the spring and summer, and the decision reportedly put even more of a strain on their relationship. According to sources, Jessica laid down the law with Justin about how much time he was planning to spend away and only gave her “blessing” when he agreed to some rules. “They don’t want to be apart from each other for months at a time, so he has constructed a schedule where he gets to go home to Jessica and the kids a lot,” the insider explained. “There is also room in the road trek for them to be with him.” Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake attend special screening of Universal Pictures’ “Trolls: Band Together” – arrivals at TCL Chinese Theatre on November 15, 2023 in Hollywood, California.

In May 2024, Jessica appeared on The View and discussed her marriage, describing it as a “work in progress.” “It’s always a work in progress,” she admitted. “It’s constantly trying to find the balance, trying to find the time we can connect.” At the time, her husband was away on tour, while she was watching over the kids and filming her new project, the upcoming Prime Video thriller series “The Better Sister.” Interestingly enough, the pair were together in New York when Justin was arrested for his DWI. She was in Manhattan filming while Justin was partying in the Hamptons. According to reports, Jessica was far from “happy” about the news of her husbands arrest and looked “tired” when she returned to set the morning after his run-in with the law. “She doesn’t like any attention on the family, especially not negative,” a source explained to People. However, despite his bad behavior, the source added that Jessica plans to “always be by his side.” Maybe that’s true – for now. Everyone has their limits, after all.

Is Kevin Costner actually dating Jewel? In early 2024, excited rumors speculated that Kevin Costner and Jewel were in a serious romance. Eyewitness sightings and even photographs seemed to support the idea that they were in some sort of entanglement. Now, however, Costner himself is quashing people’s hopes of a post-divorce “revenge” engagement to Jewel. He’s talking like they were never even dating.

In a June 2024 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, which you can see below, Kevin Costner discussed his relationship status. Famously, he went through an expensive and unexpectedly dramatic divorce in 2023. Naturally, reports that he and Jewel are in a relationship came up in conversation. Notably, the two have clearly met and seemingly have a lot in common, so it’s hardly unthinkable. Jewel performs on the Main Stage during the first day of The Wellness Experience by Kroger at The Banks on August 20, 2021. (Photo Credit: Duane Prokop/Getty Images for The Wellness Experience by Kroger) Kevin Costner’s divorce from Christine Baumgertner was only finalized in February. However, the marriage ended long before that. Howard Stern mentioned that he had “heard rumors” about Costner and Jewel. But the actor explained that things with the folk singer were not nearly as romantic as many people assumed. Kevin Costner and Jewel have ‘never gone out’ “No, Jewel and I are friends,” Kevin Costner informed Stern and, of course, listeners. “We’ve never gone out ever,” he emphasized. “She’s special,” Costner praised. “And I don’t want, I don’t want these rumors to ruin our friendship because that’s what we have.” Kevin Costner attends the “Horizon: An American Saga” press conference at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 20, 2024. (Photo Credit: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) “She’s special to me,” Kevin Costner continued. He praised: “She’s beautiful enough to go out with.” Stern then mused about the relationship reports: “How does that s–t start? Kevin, how does that work.” “We were down at [Richard] Branson’s island. She has a foundation, which I didn’t know, and she was part of the foundation,” Costner recalled. “And Richard Branson has been asking me for years to come down to Necker Island, and so I finally did.” Jewel speaks during Jewel’s Anxiety Workshop on the Inspire Lounge stage during the second day of The Wellness Experience by Kroger at The Banks on August 21, 2021. (Photo Credit: Duane Prokop/Getty Images for The Wellness Experience by Kroger) Basically, rich people parties are a spawning ground for rumors Costner then explained: “I’m divorced all of a sudden. I’m a single father, and he’s asked me for, you know, 10 years to come down there. I said, ‘I guess I’ll go down.'” He went on: “I got on a plane with nine people. Jewel was one of them. Emma Watson was one of them. She was somebody I just had some tremendous conversations with along with Emma.” That sounds like a lovely time. “The rumor was, I went down on a private plane with her and I went back on a private plane with her,” Costner detailed. “I was on with nine people and, and I don’t want the press to ruin this for us, because … I’ve had conversations with her, text wise, and she’s so smart, and she’s been through a lot herself, and so we have a friendship.” Kevin Costner attends the “Horizon: An American Saga” Red Carpet at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 19, 2024. (Photo Credit: Andreas Rentz/Getty Images) “We don’t have a romance, and we’ve not dated,” Kevin Costner emphasized of Jewel. “She’s beautiful and smart enough for all those things. It just has never happened for us,” he affirmed. “She’s everything you might think, but it just hasn’t happened.” Apparently, the rumors were so intense that he had to clarify things for his own children. And from the sound of some very reputable outlets’ reporting, even those close to him thought that the two were an item.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly reached out to Kate Middleton and “offer an olive branch” amid her ongoing battle with cancer. As you’ve likely heard by now, Kate made an appearance at Trooping the Colour last weekend. At the time, numerous media outlets accused Meghan of trying to upstage Kate by launching a new product. Britain’s Catherine, Princess of Wales, arrives to Horse Guards Parade for the King’s Birthday Parade “Trooping the Colour” in London on June 15, 2024. (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images) But that doesn’t seem to have been the case. In fact, it looks as though Harry and Meghan are eager to bury the hatchet. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are Trying to Make Amends With Kate? According to a new report from Closer magazine, Meghan and Harry recently tried to make peace with Kate. “All they can do is continue to reach out and offer olive branches,” a source told the outlet (via Independent). “Despite all their bad blood, [Meghan’s] heart does go out to Kate – she can only imagine how hard this situation must be for her,” the insider added.

(Photo by KOLA SULAIMON/AFP via Getty Images) “Meghan has made it clear she’d love nothing more than to move past all the nonsense and find a way towards healing for everyone’s sake.” We don’t know how Kate responded to the peace offering. And we don’t have many specifics about Meghan and Harry’s “olive branch.” Did it take the form of a phone call? A letter? We might never know.

Harry Is Hoping to Return to His Old Life, Insiders Claim There have been reports in recent weeks that Harry and Meghan are hoping to move back to the UK. And doing so might require them to make amends with Harry’s family. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex arrive at the United Nations Headquarters on July 18, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images) “I hear that Harry is both content with his new lifestyle and homesick. It just depends on the day,” Royal expert Kinsey Schofield recently told Fox News. It makes sense that Hary would be feeling conflicted. After all, moving back to the UK would likely mean mending fences with the family who evicted him from Frogmore Cottage and denied him a security detail. Will Kate Middleton Forgive Meghan and Harry? The bad blood between Meghan and Kate goes back several years. And there are many who believe the sisters-in-law will never see eye-to-eye.

(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) These days, the Princess of Wales likely has bigger things on her mind than familial feuds. Kate is undergoing cancer treatment, and her father-in-law, King Charles, is also battling the disease. Maybe these difficult times will lead Kate to take a big-picture view and decide that life is too short for rivalries. Or maybe she’ll decide that she has enough on her plate without indulging the whims of relatives who live on the other side of the world. Only time will tell.

Travis Scott’s new mug shot has been released by Miami police after he was arrest in Florida on several charges. Travis, Kylie Jenner’s ex and father of their two children, was booked for trespass and disorderly intoxication. Another celebrity arrested for being drunk in one week? This is not the kind of collab we’d like to see from Travis and Justin Timberlake! So, what exactly happened? A bit of hard partying turned belligerent, or so it sounds from the police report. Travis Scott attends 2023 GQ Men of the Year at Bar Marmont on November 16, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Travis Scott Arrested: His Mug Shot & Why Cops Took Him In According to the police report obtained by TMZ, authorities were called out to a marina near Miami Beach. Apparently, a fight had broken out that needed handling. When the cops arrived, Travis was allegedly arguing with people on one of the yachts. As the police escorted Travis away, he reportedly started screaming “obscenities” at the people on the yacht. Once he left the docks, a car was waiting to take Travis away. The police let him take his car and go. This could’ve been the end of the story – except 5 minutes later, Travis came back. But the police were still on the scene and after seeing Travis’ “erratic and belligerent” – and smelling booze all over him – Travis was arrested. As he was not behind the wheel and things didn’t get violent, Travis was hit with a minor charge. He spent little time in jail – barely the night tbh – before posting bail and heading out. After being arrested by Miami-Dade officials, Travis Scott was booked on charges of trespass and disorderly intoxication. (Miami-Dade Corrections) Travis’ Life Right Now Travis Scott some run-in with the law comes on the heels of reports that he’s in a low place right now after his split from Kylie Jenner. According to a report by OK! Magazine, Travis Scott is “completely freaking out” over Kylie’s ongoing relationship with Timothee. “He can’t accept that he’s been replaced,” the inside source claimed. Nothing he can do about Kylie finding happiness elsewhere, but can still be a ton-notch dad to his two kids with her, Stormi and Aire. Best to focus on that right now!

Justin Timberlake has sort of broken his silence in regard to his recent arrest. The veteran singer was taken into custody just past midnight on June 18 after he allegedly blew through a stop sign after hanging out with friends at a hotel in Sag Harbor, New York. Timberlake refused to take a breathalyzer at the scene, according to the arresting officer, and was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and two citations, one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in lane. Justin Timberlake performs onstage during the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre on April 1, 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) He is due in court for a hearing on July 26. Based on police records, we know that Timberlake told the cops he only drank one martini prior to getting behind the wheel of his BMW… but we haven’t yet heard directly from the artist. Until Wednesday afternoon. In a manner of speaking. Justin Timberlake performs onstage during the Pepsi Super Bowl LII Halftime Show at U.S. Bank Stadium on February 4, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images) On June 19, attorney Edward Burke Jr. released a statement that read as follows: “Mr. Burke looks forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time. He is currently awaiting full discovery from the DA’s office.” Nobody was hurt in the incident this week, thankfully, while the Sag Harbor police released a statement of its own after making this arrest: On June 18, 2024, at 12:37 AM, Justin R. Timberlake, age 43, of Tennessee, was observed operating a 2025 BMW southbound on Madison Street, failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign and failing to maintain his lane of travel. A traffic stop was initiated by a Police Officer from the Sag Harbor Village Police Department and upon investigation it was determined that Mr. Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition. Justin Timberlake reacts during Day one of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at Carnoustie Golf Links on September 26, 2019 in St Andrews, United Kingdom. (Photo by Matthew Lewis/Getty Images) After an officer initiated a traffic stop, authorities noted that Timberlake’s “eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests.” Timberlake was later released without having to pay bail. The singer is scheduled to hit the stage again in Chicago June 21 for the next leg of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, and will continue on to New York and Boston later this month. According to TMZ, he has no plans to check into rehab or take any “proactive” steps toward addressing any supposed alcohol problems. Timberlake simply plans to continue his tour amid this controversy.

She is starring in a new Amazon Prime series and “doesn’t like any attention on the family, especially not negative,” an insider told this outlet. Biel will remain by Timberlake’s side, however. Now and forever, this same source says. “He’s a great dad and husband,” the source states.

Alana Thompson is only 18 years old. The former child beauty pageant star has only just started nursing school and is barely able to legally vote in this country. And yet… Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson attends WEtv’s premiere fashion event celebrating the return of “Bridezillas” on March 13, 2019 at Angel Orensanz Foundation in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images for WEtv) … the topic of motherhood has already come up for Thompson. Speaking to The Daily Mail this week, Alana addressed the possibility of at least some day giving birth, telling this outlet that boyfriend Dralin Carswell is ready for parenthood. Like, right now it sounds like. “He wants kids and I don’t want kids,” Thompson told the newspaper, emphasizing that she definitely does not want children while she’s in school. Alana Thompson attends the Bossip Best Dressed List Event on July 31, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Earl Gibson III/Getty Images for WE tv) The reality star and Carswell made their relationship Instagram official in 2021 and have sine garnered a great deal of backlash Dralin was 20-plus years old when he started dating 16-year old Alana. Carswell also has a history of trouble with the law. But the pair live together and seem pretty darn happy, with Thompson saying in this interview that it will be “time” to discuss children after she is done with college. The teenager added that she wants to “one and done, that’s it” when it comes to kids, too, which could very well be a stance she changes after actually becoming a mother. Alana Thompson and June Shannon attend “Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta” season 2 premiere party at Woodruff Arts Center on January 9, 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Paras Griffin/Getty Images for WEtv) In 2023, Thompson and her boyfriend were involved in a car chase in Monroe County, Georgia that led to Carswell’s DUI arrest, causing plenty of concern from fans online. “He’s a good man, he takes care of me and he makes sure that I’m straight,” Thompson now says. “I love him, I’m happy with him so that’s all that matters.” Alana, who says she wears a “promise ring” from Carswell, remains in a state of mourning, as well. She lost her sister to cancer in December. “Anna was in so much pain last night but now as a family we all know she is at peace now. I really don’t know what to say as my heart is completely broken,” Alana said at the time. “Watching my 29 year old sister this last year battle this horrible disease hasn’t been easy.” To close out her heart-shattering post late last year, Alana wrote: “We will all make sure your legacy lives on forever. And i promise to always make sure to celebrate our birthday like you never left! “The sky looks a little bit different today. We will always love you Anna. “You hit me hard with his one Anna but i know your in a better place now and pain free forever.” Alana Thompson Pregnant: Reality TV Responds to Rumors, Potential Parenthood was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Could a Jennifer Lopez Country album be in the works? It sounds ridiculous, but hear us out. Jennifer Lopez is not having a great 2024. Divorce rumors with Ben Affleck have circulated for months and only grown more convincing. Add a couple of bad movie releases and some (hard earned) unpopularity, and maybe she’s looking for a fresh start. Jennifer Lopez poses during the ‘Atlas’ Mexico City Fan Event at Plaza Toreo Parque Central on May 21, 2024. (Photo Credit: Hector Vivas/Getty Images) Does Jennifer Lopez need to pivot to Country music? Jon Peters produced Jennifer Lopez’s 1995 film, Money Train. Unlike 2024 releases Atlas and This Is Me … Now, that film was characterized as “acceptable” by the Los Angeles Times. The actress and singer spent millions recently, going all out on a wedding and her $60 million house. Now, so much of what she does seems to be blowing up in her face. She’s canceled her tour and, right now, a lot of people assume that she’s regretting a thing or two. Jennifer Lopez attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 06, 2024. (Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) Jon Peters speaks to TMZ in in a new Hulu documentary, JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs. He speculates that Jennifer Lopez could pivot in an unexpected way. And, in the process, walk in Beyonce’s footsteps. Specifically … what if she took the Country music scene by storm? Jennifer Lopez arrives at the premiere of Netflix’s “Atlas” at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on May 20, 2024. (Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images) J. Lo could get help hard launching her Country music career According to Peters, Jennifer Lopez could partner up with Country legends like Shania Twain. He speculates that they would be delighted to work with her. That is certainly possible! Influential celebrities, rather than servers or other employees who depend upon tips to survive, might actually enjoy her coming to town. The idea would be for the singer to move to Nashville (however temporarily) and begin the project. She doesn’t have Country credentials, but she could borrow from those who do. Jennifer Lopez attends Amazon’s “This is Me… Now: A Love Story” premiere at the Dolby theatre in Hollywood, California, February 13, 2024. (Photo Credit: ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images) To be blunt, it’s unclear how well Jennifer Lopez could do in Country circles. She is from the Bronx. Beyonce is from Texas — and in addition to racist backlash, she also found that fans who love her were not always willing to follow her into a different genre of music. Not if they don’t enjoy it in the first place. Clearly, some people are big on the idea. But what matters most is whether Jennifer Lopez even has an interest in a Country career.

Kylie Jenner may have to contend with her ex’s feelings about her new relationship. Especially because that ex is also the father of her children. The intensity and secrecy of Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet’s ongoing relationship has led to exciting rumors and a lot of questions. A new report details Travis Scott’s alleged feelings about Kylie moving on after years of on-again, off-again. And also just how serious her current romance has become. Kylie Jenner attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 06, 2024. (Photo Credit: Aliah Anderson/Getty Images) These days, Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet are reportedly going strong According to a report by OK! Magazine, Travis Scott is “completely freaking out” over Kylie’s ongoing relationship with Timothee. “He can’t accept that he’s been replaced,” the inside source claimed. “And,” the insider then alleged, Travis “hates the idea of another man around his kids.” Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott attend the 2022 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 15, 2022. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Apparently, another issue was that he got his hopes up — possibly amidst reports of Kylie and Timmy being on the rocks. “He actually thought he and Kylie were on the road to a reunion,” the source then reported. The insider detailed that “they talk all the time.” That makes sense, as they share 6-year-old Stormi and 2-year-old Aire (previously named Wolf). Kylie Jenner attends the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 11, 2024. (Photo Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Things could be getting even more serious between Kylie and Timmy The same report suggested that Kylie Jenner might be contemplating living with Timothee Chalamet in the not-so-distant future. “Travis is extremely jealous — he never thought Timothee would last this long,” the same source characterized. “Kylie’s been very clear with Travis that he missed his shot,” the insider then alleged. “Her future is with Timothee.” Kylie Jenner and actor Timothée Chalamet look on during the Men’s Singles Final match between Novak Djokovic of Serbia and Daniil Medvedev of Russia on Day Fourteen of the 2023 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 10, 2023. (Photo Credit: Sarah Stier/Getty Images) Obviously, it’s hard to confirm Travis Scott’s private thoughts on his ex’s new romance. These are, of course, only his alleged feelings on the matter, by way of one alleged inside source. It’s easy to imagine that someone who shares two children with a long-term, on-again off-again partner might assume that they’ll inevitably get back together. But creating children together doesn’t mean that two people are endgame. Similarly, it’s easy to imagine that Travis may have assumed that Kylie and Timmy wouldn’t last as long as they have. Sometimes, relationships — the worst and the best of them — outlast everyone’s expectations. That can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending. Kylie Jenner attends the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2024 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 24, 2024. (Photo Credit: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) Wait, didn’t Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet break up? Earlier this spring, rumors circulated that Kylie and Timmy had called it quits. However, Kylie quashed these claims without saying a word. On Thursday, May 23, she and Timothee went out and about in New York. Their apparent date night reassured fans of the couple. And, perhaps, it may have discouraged anyone hoping that the breakup news would turn out to be true.

As you have very likely heard by now, Justin Timberlake is likely crying himself a river at the moment. The veteran singer was arrested this week in Sag Harbor, New York for driving while under the influence of alcohol… with his mugshot having since gone viral. You can check it out for yourself right here: Justin Timberlake is seen in a booking photo on June 18, 2024 in Sag Harbor, New York. He was charged with driving while intoxicated. (Photo by Sag Harbor Police Department via Getty Images) While fans and critics process this unfortunate incident, meanwhile, new details have emerged in regard to Timberlake’s arrest. Timberlake was behind the wheel of a gray BMW with Florida plates when he was pulled over around 12:17 a.m. on June 18; he’s accused of driving through a stop sign and failing to stay on the right side of the road, according to the official court filing. He was coming from the American Hotel — and Surveillance video obtained by hamptons.com features the 43-year old going slowly on a deserted street prior to getting pulled over. While speaking with iconic artist, authorities noted that his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy,” with a “strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath,” Sag Harbor Village officer Michael Arkinson wrote in his complaint. Justin Timberlake attends the Vanity Fair Oscars Party at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California, on March 10, 2024. (Photo by Michael TRAN / AFP) Arkinson also wrote that Timberlake had “slowed speech” and was “unable to divide attention” throughout the interaction. After the Grammy winner “performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,” Arkinson said the singer declined to be tested for impairment, allegedly telling police: “‘No, I’m not doing a chemical test.'” This is also known as a breathalyzer. Justin Timberlake performs onstage during the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre on April 1, 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Timberlake went on to refuse the test two more time before he was read the Miranda rights and arrested, according to Arkinson. “This determination was based in part from undersigned’s training and experience in detecting intoxication and in administering field sobriety tests and having been involved in numerous DWI cases,” the officer wrote in the documents, adding that Timberlake also allegedly told him during the traffic stop: “‘I had one martini and I followed my friends home.'” Justin Timberlake speaks onstage as he promotes the upcoming film “Trolls Band Together” during the Universal Pictures and Focus Features presentation during CinemaCon, the official convention of the National Association of Theatre Owners, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on April 26, 2023 in Las Vegas. (GETTY) For the record, wife Jessica Biel — who may be done with Timberlake — was not with her husband at the time. “Mr. Timberlake was placed under arrest, processed, and held overnight for morning arraignment. Mr. Timberlake was arraigned at the Sag Harbor Village Justice Court on June 18, 2024, at 9:30 AM where he was released on his own recognizance,” read a statement this week by the Sag Harbor Police Department. Timberlake was charged with one count of driving while intoxicated and two citations, one for running a stop sign and one for failure to keep in lane. He is scheduled to play concerts in Chicago on June 21 and June 22… and to be back in court for a hearing on July 26.

Eddie Murphy has been married and divorced more than once. Over the years, Eddie Murphy’s extensive career has made him an entertainer across generations. There is even a federal law named after him — not for his own crime, but for something that his character did on screen. Additionally, Murphy has fathered numerous children and contributed to multiple charitable projects. Not everyone is fully aware of the prolific actor and comedian’s relationship history. Eddie Murphy attends the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 05, 2020. (Photo Credit: Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images) Before Eddie Murphy’s first marriage, he became a father In 1989, Eddie Murphy welcomed his first child, Eric, with Paulette McNeely, who was his girlfriend at the time. One year later, in 1990, he and then-girlfriend Tamara Hood welcomed his second child, Christian. However, neither of those women were his first marriage. That came just a few years later, though he met his future wife before Eric was born.

(Photo Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images) In 1988, Eddie Murphy met Nicole Mitchell. The two would (eventually) enter a long-term relationship. After first making each other’s acquaintance at that year’s NAACP Image Awards, they hit things off. Before they tied the knot in March of 1993, Murphy and Mitchell lived together for two years.

Those children are Bria, Myles, Shayne, Zola, and Bella. In August of 2005, after over 12 years of marriage, Mitchell filed to divorce Murphy. They finalized the divorce in April of 2006. As celebrity divorces go, that was relatively fast. Eddie Murphy accepts the Lifetime Achievement Award onstage during the 25th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards at Barker Hangar on January 12, 2020. (Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for Critics Choice Association) In 2006, Eddie Murphy followed his divorce by dating Mel B — yes, Scary Spice of Spice Girls fame. This is where things take a complex turn. When Mel B became pregnant, there were questions regarding the paternity. After she gave birth to daughter Angel Iris Murphy Brown on April 3, 2007 (Eddie Murphy’s forty-sixth birthday), her representatives shared that Murphy was the father. By 2010, reports announced that he was getting to know his daughter. Initially, at least according to Mel B, that bond did not exist.

Sort of. About two weeks later, they put out a public statement to describe the ceremony as a “symbolic union.” They emphasized that their relationship was not legally binding, TMZ reported at the time. And it soon became clear that they resolved to remain friends rather than continue as romantic partners. That must have been a weird January.

(Photo Credit: MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) In 2012, Eddie Murphy began dating Paige Butcher, an Australian model. Four years later, the two welcomed a daughter (Izzy) in May of 2016. Two years after that, in November of 2018, they welcomed a son (Max). Max’s middle name is Charlie, after Murphy’s late brother. In September of that year, just two months before Max’s birth, they became engaged to marry. By all accounts, that engagement has yet to end in any of the ways that engagements end — a breakup, death, or marriage.

The world of sports has lost a true legend. On Tuesday night, we learned that former San Francisco Giants superstar Willie Mays had passed away earlier that day “among loved ones,” according to his son. Mays was 93 years old. SAN FRANCISCO, CA – OCTOBER 24: Hall of famer Willie Mays is seen on the field before the San Francisco Giants take on the Kansas City Royals during Game Three of the 2014 World Series at AT&T Park on October 24, 2014 in San Francisco, California.

You have been his life’s blood,” wrote Mays’ son in the statement announcing this tragic piece of news. Known as “The Say Hey Kid” for his positive attitude and the way he greeted others during his playing days, Mays played a total of 23 seasons. He finished his career with 660 home runs, which ranked second in history only to Babe Ruth at the time. Mays made 24 All-Star teams, won two NL MVP awards and earned 12 Gold Gloves. He now ranks sixth all time in home runs (660), seventh in runs scored (2,068), 12th in RBIs (1,909) and 13th in hits (3,293). It is with great sadness that we announce that San Francisco Giants Legend and Hall of Famer Willie Mays passed away peacefully this afternoon at the age of 93. pic.twitter.com/Qk4NySCFZQ — SFGiants (@SFGiants) June 19, 2024 “Today we have lost a true legend”, said Giants Chairman Greg Johnson in a statement. “In the pantheon of baseball greats, Willie Mays’ combination of tremendous talent, keen intellect, showmanship, and boundless joy set him apart. A 24-time All-Star, the Say Hey Kid is the ultimate Forever Giant. “He had a profound influence not only on the game of baseball, but on the fabric of America. He was an inspiration and a hero who will be forever remembered and deeply missed.” Mays led the National League in home runs and steals in four seasons and in slugging five times. He hit over .300 ten times and had a career average of .301. “We are heartbroken to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Willie Mays, one of the most exciting all-around players in the history of our sport” Major League Baseball said in a statement on Twitter. Added Barry Bonds, the godson of Mays, via Instagram: I am beyond devastated and overcome with emotion. I have no words to describe what you mean to me- you helped shape me to be who I am today. Thank you for being my Godfather and always being there. Give my dad a hug for me. Rest in peace Willie, I love you forever. In Game 1 of the 1954 World Series, Mays made an over-the-shoulder running catch in centerfield that, still today, is simply known as “The Catch.” Partly as a result of this play, the World Series MVP Award was named in his honor in 2017.

Justin Timberlake has a mug shot, y’all. He’s a few decades late, but now he can call himself truly one of the most famous faces of pop from the 2000’s. The Sag Harbor Police Department released the singer’s photo following the reveal that the Grammy-winner was arrested in New York for driving while intoxicated. And this photo appears to back up the claim that he was drinking that night.

The police reported he was pulled over after he ran through a stop sign and his 2025 BMW was weaving along the road. Reports out of outlets immediately described Justin as looking ‘bleary-eyed’ or his eyes appearing ‘bloodshot’, but it wasn’t until the department released his mugshot were fans able to make that determination themselves.

Timberlake, age 43, of Tennessee, was observed operating a 2025 BMW southbound on Madison Street, failing to stop at a duly posted stop sign and failing to maintain his lane of travel. A traffic stop was initiated by a Police Officer from Sag Harbor Village Police Department and upon investigation it was determined that Mr. Timberlake was operating his vehicle in an intoxicated condition.” “I had one martini and I followed my friends home,” Timberlake allegedly told officers, before failing a field sobriety test. He allegedly refused to take a breathalyzer test. In the morning, Justin was released without bail. He has yet to make any comment on the incident himself.

Drew Barrymore should be better than this. In 2023, Drew Barrymore’s scabbing during the strikes alienated a lot of now-former fans. Not to mention her show’s writers. Now, she’s hemorrhaging more fans. And she’s losing respect in the process. Having 90 Day Fiance villain Angela Deem as a talk show guest has set a new low for her talk show. Drew Barrymore speaks on her talk show in June of 2024. (Image Credit: CBS) Angela Deem has a toxic brand, and that’s bad news for Drew Barrymore Recently, the despicable 90 Day Fiance star appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show as a guest. This catastrophic error has left Drew’s fans feeling downright disgusted — not to mention surprised and confused. It wasn’t a good look for Ross Matthews, either. But since Drew has her name on the show, she’s the one who seems tainted by Angela’s malodorous vibes. Even when The Drew Barrymore Show shared an Instagram reel of Angela Deem’s appearance on the show, the comments were full of fully justified outrage. It was not merely that people expressed their unwavering loathing of Angela as a human being and as an “entertainer.” Commenters also expressed their disappointment that Drew Barrymore, who has so many fans, would sully herself with Angela’s (metaphorically) fetid presence. Why do ’90 Day Fiance’ fans hate Angela Deem? Angela would like to see herself as a funny, unpredictable “meemaw” who’s been unlucky in love and, perhaps, is a little too trusting. The truth is she’s among the worst kinds of reality star, who’s behavior is abhorrent. (Not just our word; unsurprisingly, the adjective “abhorrent” cropped up in a lot Instagram comments on Drew’s page.) 90 Day Fiance fans who describe Angela as abusive aren’t referring to the contents of police reports or accusations. The show itself has captured her treatment of her husband — including destroying his property to verbally accosting him to physically attacking him. In a previously unseen moment from 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, Angela Deem physically attacked husband Michael Ilesanmi. (Image Credit: TLC) But that’s not all. As recently as August of 2023, video recorded Angela Deem attacking and beating a woman in a hotel lobby. Even when she knows that she’s on TLC’s cameras, Angela unleashes her fury upon castmates. It’s not entertainment; it’s signs of a serious problem. And, in some cases, it’s likely a crime. Despite her alleged desire to be liked, her behavior has been nothing short of rancid. For viewers to see Drew invite Angela onto her show and greet her as if she were merely a relatable reality TV personality was … disquieting. Angela Deem seems to be inadvertently reenacting an Alien meme, but Liz Woods doesn’t seem to be enjoying it. (Image Credit: TLC) Should we be angry with Drew Barrymore? It’s definitely a complex question. How much power does she have over the guest lineup on her show? In this case, social media posts seem to suggest that this ill-advised guest spot was a favor to Ross Matthews. Allegedly, his husband is a big fan of Angela’s. (There is no accounting for taste.) Truth be told, we cannot reasonably expect Drew to personally vet every single guest on her own show. For unknown reasons, The Drew Barrymore Show invited 90 Day Fiance villain Angela Deem as a guest in June of 2024. Oh no! (Image Credit: CBS) But, as countless commenters pointed out, almost anyone else from 90 Day Fiance would have been a better choice. Even if they don’t have the whole situation with Michael Ilesanmi going for them. Obviously, they could do worse, like convicted abuser Geoffrey Paschel if he weren’t rotting behind bars where he belongs. But while “90 Day stars worse than Angela” is a short list, the vast majority of them really are just normal people with interesting stories. It’s easy to suggest that producers were looking to court controversy for ratings. But it’s equally likely that, on the surface, Angela just seems like an ill-behaved grandmother who makes people laugh. The true fault lies with TLC and Sharp for continuing to treat her like an employable reality star and not a monster.

First, the good news about Gary Wayt: He’s been found, alive and presumably well. Earlier this month, Amber Portwood reported that her fiance had gone missing in North Carolina after the couple got into some kind of argument. Local authorities have since confirmed, however, that Gary is safe and sound. Amber Portwood has an unusual look on her face in this scene from a Teen Mom episode. (MTV) Now, for the bad news when it comes to Gary Wayt: He sort of has a sketchy past. According to documents obtained by In Touch Weekly, Wayt has been in trouble with the law on multiple occasions. For example, the 39-year old pleaded guilty and was convicted of illegal consumption of alcohol in 2005 in the state of Indiana. One year later, Wayt was charged with possession of marijuana. The new MTV star requested to have the charges expunged for both incidents in 2014… but the court refused, instructing Wayt to submit a separate petition along with payment. Amber Portwood on an episode of MTV’s Teen Mom. (MTV) Along with these criminal charges, Wayt has been involved in a number of driving incidents. Also in 2006, Gary was caught driving with a suspended license, eventually pleading guilty to the charge and earning a fine of $1,000. Two years later, Wayt was caught speeding — twice. From 2010 to 2017, Wayt faced additional charges varying from expired plates and speeding to disregarding a stop sign. Amber Portwood has had her share of legal trouble over the years. (MTV) Portwood, of course, has also had numerous run-ins with the law, most notably getting arrested in 2019 for allegedly attacking her ex-boyfriend with a machete. She was previously engaged to Matt Baier, although the two never made it down the aisle. Wayt, however, actually has been married once before. He exchanged vows on July 21, 2013 with a woman named Caitlin Haynie … who filed for divorce from her husband in 2016. They had no kids together and the marriage was officially dissolved on June 7, 2016, as the exes divided property amongst themselves and she kept the lease on their marital home. The pair did not have any shared vehicles or debt amid the marriage. Amber Portwood has been going through some through times. For many years now. (MTV) Portwood went public with her latest romance this past fall and then introduced Gary t to fans during the June 6 episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. They got engaged a few weeks ago. “She’s really, really happy,” a Us Weekly source told the tabloid upon breaking this exciting piece of news, adding: “They’ve been in couple’s therapy and talk about everything. They’re being very proactive in their relationship and are doing the work to prevent problems before they start.” This was before the aforementioned fight and subsequent disappearance, but hopefully all hope is not lost for Amber Portwood and Gary “This new man in her life has actually never seen Teen Mom so she feels she can finally date in the way she’s always wanted to,” Us Weekly added this month.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Kate Middleton made a surprise appearance at the royal family’s annual Trooping the Colour ceremony on Saturday. Kate is still battling cancer, and most observers expected her to sit out this year’s celebration of King Charles’ official birthday. But the Princess of Wales shocked the world by standing beside her family and waving to the crowd from the balcony.

(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) It was a heartwarming moment that offered some much-needed encouragement amid a very difficult year for the royals. But was it too much too soon? Is Kate Middleton Ready to Return to Public Life? Obviously, only Kate and her inner circle know what sort of treatment she’s receiving and how she’s holding up.

(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) But not surprisingly, royal journalists have been scrutinizing her Trooping the Colour cameo using it to predict what might come next for the ailing mother of three. First, Piers Morgan offered his unsolicited two cents on the situation. Now, Katie Nicholl is warning fans of Kate’s not to expect any more surprise appearances anytime soon. Prince William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales on the balcony during Trooping the Colour at Buckingham Palace on June 15, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Nicholl predicted that Kate will once again retreat from the spotlight for a “long and well-deserved rest.” “I think a day like Saturday where she knows the eyes of the world are on her, there is a huge amount of scrutiny that will take its toll,” she explained. “I don’t think we can expect to see her in public for a little while. That’s going to take some recovery.” Was Kate Middleton Secretly Struggling at Trooping the Colour?

(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Nicholl went on to compare Kate to a “gliding” swan who was “paddling quite frantically … beneath the water.” She pointed out that there was one moment in which it seemed that Kate might have taken on a bit more than she could handle. “She was on her feet for a long period of time. There was a moment where she was watching the parade … and was offered a seat, which she gratefully accepted,” Nicoll said. Catherine, Princess of Wales, Princess Charlotte of Wales and King Charles III during Trooping the Colour at Buckingham Palace on June 15, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) “That’s just a bit of an acknowledgment that she is not as strong, not as fit, as she was before she went into this treatment.” We don’t think anyone expected that Kate would immediately bounce back from cancer treatment and emerge just as energetic as ever. The important thing is that Kate Middleton and King Charles were able to appear side-by-side at a time when they’re both fighting the greatest battle of their lives. And it might be impossible to overstate the impact of that moment on those who wish the royals well.

We have an update on the tragic death of Riley Strain. Approximately three months after the University of Missouri student’s body was discovered, Strain’s cause of death has been attributed to drowning and ethanol intoxication — with the manner cited as accidental — according to an autopsy report obtained by TMZ and NBC affiliate WSMV-TV. Moreover, the document states that Strain had a blood alcohol content of .228. May Riley Strain rest in peace. (Facebook) Bacn March 23, the Metro Nashville Police Department characterized Strain’s death as “accidental” and said there was no evidence of foul play, based on a preliminary autopsy. This reveal came not long after the Metro Nashville Police Department announced the recovery of Riley’s corpse from the Cumberland River in West Nashville… two weeks after he’d gone missing. Despite the authorities making their accidental claim, a friend of Riley’s, Chris Dingman, told NewsNation on March 27 that the family had enlisted the help of a private company to have a second autopsy performed. Two days later, these same loved ones gathered for a funeral. West Nashville police confirm the death of Riley Strain. (NBC affiliate WSMV-TV) Strain was last seen by friends on March 8, after he was asked to leave country music star Luke Bryan’s bar restaurant in Nashville due to his behavior, according to a statement from the TC Restaurant Group, which oversees the establishment. Sometime before 8 p.m. on the night he went missing, Strain FaceTimed his mother from a different bar, according to the 22-year old’s stepfather. He added that the family didn’t realize anything was wrong until his wife got a call from Strain’s fraternity brothers the following morning, stating they did not know where Strain had gone. From there, local police shared surveillance footage on March 12 of Strain appearing to stumble as he was crossing a street. A local smoke and vape shop’s surveillance footage, shared with local TV station WZTV, featured Strain on another street on that March 8 evening. Metro Nashville PD released this photo of Riley Strain after he went missing in March 2024. (Metro Nashville PD) The sad pieces all came together days later when Strain’s dead body was discovered, as previously reported in this article. “Riley Strain’s presence will be profoundly missed,” an obituary for the 22-year-old read this spring. “But his joyous approach to life and the happiness he brought to those around him will forever be remembered.” During a press conference on the same day Strain’s body was found, his family thanked everyone who assisted in the two-week search. “We’re quite thankful for everything that you’ve done for our family,” said the boy’s stepfather. “The grace that you’ve given us, it means a lot, more than you’ll ever know.” Riley Strain Cause of Death Announced, So Very Very Tragic was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

After 46 seasons, is Jeff Probst finally leaving Survivor behind? After hosting the franchise for 25 years, many have been sure that the host of the long running reality show would be ready to call his time on the island finished. Over the years, that have been rumors and reports that he’s nearly done just that. But Jeff has been very clear about his future with the show, as well as his thoughts on who would replace him as host when he finally leaves for good. Jeff Probst attends the ‘Survivor: 15 Years, 30 Seasons’ celebration held at The Paley Center for Media on February 17, 2015 ( (Photo by Mark Davis/Getty Images)) Is Jeff Probst Leaving ‘Survivor’? Not Yet! Travel back to us quickly to the start of the new millennium. That’s when Jeff started hosting Survivor. In 2000, the show debuted on CBS and became in instant sensation. Today, after 46 seasons, Jeff is not only still the host, but he’s also the showrunner and executive producer. That bump in status – and in paycheck – might be the reason that Jeff has stuck around longer than many thought he would. But as the show is creeping towards it’s milestone 50th year, the question remains: will he stay? For now, the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, he’s already thinking about the next decade of seasons. “When you’re in an executive producer position, you have to have a global look at the show,” Jeff said to Variety in a June 2024 interview. “I can’t just be worried about this season. I have to go, ‘How are we going to get to 50?’ And then, ‘What’s 51? How do we get to 60?’ So, I’m always taking a big picture view.” Wow! Season 60! That’s hard to even imagine! Just as it would be hard to imagine Jeff leaving as host of the show. Yet while Jeff has been clear that he sees a future with the show, he’s also not as sure that means sticking around as host. Jeff Probst Knows Who Should Replace Him as ‘Survivor’ Host While there’s no end in sight for Jeff right now, the truth is at some point, every host retires. (We’re looking at you, Pat Sajak!) And when that day comes, Jeff already has instructions laid out for who should take his place next. “I ever left ‘Survivor’ and it continued on, there are lots of types of people that could bring a whole new perspective to it,” he told Variety. “I wouldn’t suggest hiring a television host. I’d say hire a curious person, who’s interested in people … I always feel like the mistake that networks make is they hire a name or hire somebody based on how they look, and they don’t hire a producer. You should hire a producer who happens to work in front of the camera.” The Future Of Survivor Truth is, Jeff has been upfront about his plans with the show for awhile. In an episode of his On Fire podcast from the end of 2023, Jeff discussed his future on the franchise. A listener asked whether season 50 will be his last, and Jeff pledged to continue with the show indefinitely… under one condition. Jeff talking to fans at a Survivor fan panel in 2016. ((Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images for Entertainment Weekly)) “I still love Survivor very much,” Probst said on the podcast. “I think that’s pretty clear. Survivor 50 is definitely our next big target in terms of a milestone, but you’ve got to remember: We’ve got to get there. So you have to do 45 and 46, then you have to do 47 and 48, then you have to do 49, then you get to 50. So it is one at a time.” A diplomatic, yet dodgy answer. He basically is putting the ball in the networks court. If they keep running the show, he’ll keep hosting it. Simple enough, right? But Jeff added that the game only works if certain other people keep returning year after year, not just him. Keep the ‘Survivor’ Team Together “The biggest thing for me is keeping our team together,” Jeff added, speaking as the showruner at the helm of production. “That’s sort of the whole enchilada, because I get way more credit than I deserve. This show is made by a giant group, and we’re all in it together, and I would not want to do the show with another team. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to start over with new people. So I’m in it as long as everybody else on the team is in it.” Jeff Probst lights the Empire State Building in honor of SURVIVOR’S 45th season in 2023 in New York City. ((Photo by Arturo Holmes/Getty Images for Empire State Realty Trust)) So there you have it: if CBS continues to renew the show, Jeff gets to keep his team in tact, and people keep applying to compete… Oh yeah – what about new contestants? Are there really still so many people who are willing to play the game that seemed so novel 20 years ago, but now feels like it’s run it’s course? Jeff hopes so, and if we want him to keep hosting, it’s a condition of his return. “I have no intention of wanting to stop so long as the show continues to be fun and the people applying continue to be interesting,” said Jeff.

((Photo by Paul Hawthorne/Getty Images)) How Covid Stopped Jeff From Quitting ‘Survivor’ In an interview in 2022 with Entertainment Weekly, Jeff revealed that there was a time he was about to leave the show for good. Jeff revealed that the pandemic turned out to be blessing in disguise. It afforded him the reset time he needed to consider his future with the franchise. “The Covid break was a great Survivor reset for me,” he shared. “Coming on the heels of Winners at War, which I loved, I was more tired than I realized. When we had to postpone our shoot, it gave me a chance to step back and once again reflect on all the things I absolutely love about this show.” He added that since then, and since he was promoted, the show has given so much more back to him then ever before. “It’s right in line with the ideas I try to impress on our players,” Jeff explained. “It’s about pushing myself further than I think I can go, about trying to stay in the moment” He ended with: “The same opportunities Survivor offers the players, it offers me. I love Survivor and I still need Survivor.” Jeff Probst On Leaving ‘Survivor’ & Who Should Replace Him As Host was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article
