Hunter Biden was found guilty on Tuesday morning on a trio of federal gun charges, following three hours’ worth of deliberations by a jury over two days. The President’s son now faces up to 25 years in prison. This jury convicted the 54-year-old of making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm… making a false statement related to information required to be kept by a federally licensed firearms dealer… and possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of or addict to a controlled substance.

He will be sentenced late this year by a Donald Trump-appointed judge. President Joe Biden did not attend his son’s trial, but Hunter’s stepmother, Jill Biden, was often in attendance, along with his wife and other members of the extended Biden family. Federal guidelines call for a sentence of 15 to 21 months for Biden, who is expected to appeal The President has already gone on record in stating that he will NOT pardon his son. Hunter Biden has been found guilty on all three gun charges. (Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Image) Prosecutors from special counsel David Weiss’ office had argued President Biden’s son knowingly lied on a gun application form that he did not use controlled substances before walking out of a Wilmington shop with a Colt Cobra .38-caliber revolver on October 12, 2018. In his 2021 memoir, Hunter acknowledged that he was addicted to crack cocaine around this same time, a fact lawyers used against him in court as evidence. Hunter Biden is also scheduled to face a case in Los Angeles federal court beginning September 5 for allegedly evading $1.4 million in federal income tax for the years 2016 through 2019. Hunter Biden pats his attorney Abbe Lowell on the back after he made a statement to the press following a closed-door deposition before the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and House Judiciary Committee in the O’Neill House Office Building on February 28, 2024 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Samuel Corum/Getty Images) In a statement when his son’s trial started Monday, President Biden said: “As the President, I don’t and won’t comment on pending federal cases, but as a Dad, I have boundless love for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength. “Our family has been through a lot together, and Jill and I are going to continue to be there for Hunter and our family with our love and support.” This verdict, meanwhile, comes two weeks after Donald Trump was found guilty of falsifying business records in his own legal trial. UPDATE: Hunter Biden has publicly responded to the guilty verdict against him today, saying he is “more grateful for the love and support” of his family than he is “disappointed by the outcome. “Recovery is possible by the grace of God, and I am blessed to experience that gift one day at a time,” he said in statement Tuesday.

Is Kate Middleton secretly living in Texas? As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Kate is battling cancer. And she’s been keeping a low profile as she focuses on her health. We know very little about the specifics of Kate’s illness or her course of treatment. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge arrives at Basildon Sporting Village on October 30, 2018 in London, England. (Photo by Tim P. Whitby/Tim P. Whitby/Getty Images) As a result, the situation involving the Princess of Wales has become fertile ground for rumors and speculation. And a new round of reports alleges that Kate has left England and relocated to the US in her effort to receive the best possible care. Is Kate Middleton Undergoing Chemotherapy In Texas? Kensington Palace has confirmed very few facts about Kate’s treatment. One thing we know for sure is that she’s currently undergoing chemotherapy. But palace officials have offered no specifics with regard to which facility has been entrusted with Kate’s care. Catherine, Princess of Wales during a visit to the Greentown Labs in Somerville, to learn about climate innovations which are being incubated in Boston on December 1, 2022 in Boston, United States. (Photo by Kirsty O’Connor – Pool/Getty Images) Now, a surprising rumor claiming that Kate has taken up residence in Texas has taken social media by storm. Earlier this week, the popular royal news TikTok account Matta_of_Fact called attention to a Reddit post claiming that Kate has been living in Houston and receiving treatment at the famed MS Anderson Cancer Center. “Was visiting friends at the St. Regis this weekend and they had spoken of her being at the hotel. Has anyone else heard this?” the post reads. “Assuming she would be here for treatment. Hoping for the best outcome for the family.” Catherine, Princess of Wales, poses for a photograph, backdropped by buildings in the City of London, at NatWest’s headquarters where she hosted the inaugural meeting of new Business Taskforce for Early Childhood at International HQ of Natwest and RBS on March 21, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Daniel Leal – WPA Pool/Getty Images) A Rumor Refuted But despite the plausible nature of the claims about Kate, a new report from the Houston Chronicle claims that the princess has not taken up residence in the Lone Star State. “A rumor that Kate Middleton is being treated at the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston is false, according to a Kensington Palace representative,” the newspaper wrote this week. So it sounds like the mystery of where Kate is receiving treatment will remain unsolved for the time being. Catherine, Princess of Wales attends King Charles III’s Coronation Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on May 9, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Jonathan Brady – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Kate clearly values her privacy in this matter. And we hope that all media outlets and royal watchers will respect her wishes. We only learned about Kate’s diagnosis after she mysteriously disappeared from public life, prompting widespread rumors. A couple of PR blunders from Kensington Palace didn’t help matters. But now that that dust has settled, we hope that Kate is fully focused on the business of getting well. And we hope that if she has relocated for treatment purposes, her new neighbors will be mindful of her desire for privacy.

TLC has not yet confirmed a season 19 of Sister Wives, but the stars of the beloved franchise have. The question is, what will it look like given everything that’s been going on? Between new marriages, cancer scares, and the shocking news of the death of one of Kody’s sons, season 19 is poised to be emotional. Here’s what we know so far. Christine Brown and David Woolley look so cute in this photo from Sister Wives. (TLC) David Woolley Joining ‘Sister Wives’ Season 19 In BIG WAY Christine Brown sat down with People Magazine at the start of 2024 and made two things very clear: ONE: Sister Wives Season 19 is very much on the way! TWO: Her brand new husband will play a major role on it! “People are going to be seeing a lot with the two of us,” Brown told the publication in a joint interview with David, adding: “I’m really excited for everybody to meet David more, because he’s really genuine.” As loyal Sister Wives fans know, Christine split from Kody Brown in November 2021, writing on Instagram back then: “We will continue to be a strong presence in each other’s lives as we parent our beautiful children and support our wonderful family.” Christine Brown gesture here at David Woolley during his first Sister Wives appearance. (TLC) Christine later met Woolley on a dating website and went public with the relationship on Valentine’s Day of 2023. “I finally found the love of my life, David,” she said at the time, clearly very smitten. David Is Already Used To The Cameras Fast forward to October of 2023, and Christine and David were married, and so, his career in reality tv took off. First, he sat alongside Brown for a discussion on the Sister Wives one-on-one special that aired in December; then he got tons of screen time when TLC followed the pair around for their special, Sister Wives: Christine and David’s Wedding. But with Season 19, he will have his firs legitimate run as a cast member. “They threw me to the wolves,” joked Woolley to People, who said he “never wanted to be on camera” before meeting and falling for Christine. He’s accepted and embraced this new aspect of his life, however. Christine Brown is featured in this Sister Wives interview. (TLC) “Listen, I tried, but then I ended up talking over him and then I feel really bad,” Brown jumped in with People, explaining how she has done all she can to take the lead on air. “When the interview with the one-on-one with [host] Suki [Krishnan], she was like, ‘How did you propose?’ And I’m like, ‘Let me tell you.’ And I just totally took over.” Meri Brown looks a little bit concerned in this scene from Sister Wives. (TLC) Meri Brown Is Returning To ‘Sister Wives’ Despite Fall Out With Family In the last few years, it’s become clear that Meri has had a falling out with her plural family. After leaving Kody, her relationship with the other wives start to deteriorate. For one thing, she was not at Christine’s wedding. For another, she sat along at Garrison’s memorial, separate from Janelle and the kids (more on that in a second.) However, whatever drama is happening with the other women, Meri is still part of the TV family. She confirmed on Miss Understood Podcast with Rachel Uchitel that she would be back for season 19. “I’m around,” she insisted, though gave no details on the show filming. She simply added, “I’m very excited. I’m not going anywhere. “ Will There Be Sister Wives Season 19 after Garrison Brown’s Death? While the family sounds prepared to kick off another season, things took a turn for the devastating on March 5. That’s when it was announced that Janelle and Kody’s son Garrison died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The news saddened the world over, given that the young man was on 25 and that he was just starting to rebuild his life in Arizona. Garrison famously had a falling out with his famous father, but was still incredibly close with his mother. Unless the show is cancelled, it is very likely that the aftermath the family faces after his passing will play out on the next season of the show. In fact, reports from The Sun suggest that the show was indeed in production at the time of his passing. “As sad as it is, his unexpected death came during the timeline of filming,” a family source shared with the outlet. Garrison’s strained relationship with father Kody was a family focus last season and the source claims that TLC will want to “continue the storyline and fans are going to expect to know what happened to him.” “I can’t imagine any of this won’t be filmed,” they said, adding, “I just don’t how far this will go and how deep the family will get.” Kody Brown and Janelle Brown share the screen here. They no longer share a marriage. (TLC) Is ‘Sister Wives’ Season 19 Canceled for 2024? No premiere date has been set for Sister Wives Season 19. Given everything we’ve heard, the likelihood that the show is cancelled is low. Undoubtledly, the family will want to share their next steps in the wake of tragedy with fans. But who will star on the show? It will include Christine and David; a now-single Janelle Brown; Meri Brown and maybe her new ex-boyfriend; and then Kody and Robyn Brown, who remain legally married. “I don’t really prepare him for things,” Christine told People about David joining the show. “It’s like, this is what it is. This is what we’re talking about kind of a thing. We’re going to meet and have a People Magazine interview… “But he’s just authentic and real and I think that shines through. I think that he comes across really well just because he’s just himself.” ‘Sister Wives’ Season 19 : New Details From Meri Brown After Garrison’s … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Rob Lowe has strong feelings about politics. But … what are they, again? He’s one of those actors who flies under the radar between his last big project and his current one. But whether you’re doing a Parks & Rec rewatch or tuning in to the Brat Pack documentary, Brats, you wouldn’t be the first to ask the question. Rob Lowe’s political leanings aren’t as simple to remember as some, and they don’t always align with the characters he’s played on-screen. Rob Lowe attends the 2024 Fox Upfront at The Ritz-Carlton Nomad on May 13, 2024. (Photo Credit: Roy Rochlin/Getty Images) What are Rob Lowe’s politics? It’s been a hot minute since Rob Lowe’s last beef with a teen star. Remember, he’s not shy about offering his opinions on everything from movies to Justin Bieber. So, as you might imagine, he has not made his political views a secret. Even though wading into politics almost invariably costs people fans when those statements become public. Labels are complex. Not everyone on the political Right or Left sees eye-to-eye with each other. And truthfully, Rob Lowe struggles to fit into either side. Rob Lowe attends Netflix’s 2024 Oscar after party at Mother Wolf on March 10, 2024. (Photo Credit: Natasha Campos/Getty Images for Netflix) In 2015, Rob Lowe spoke to The New York Times to seemingly espouse vague libertarian ideals. Notably, those are libertarian with a little “l” rather than (necessarily) aligning with the Libertarian party. “My thing is personal freedoms, freedoms for the individual to love whom they want, do with what they want,” he said at the time. “In fact, I want the government out of almost everything.” The actor has certainly demonstrated that mindset multiple times, including pushing for more private control over land development in the Los Angeles area over governmental oversight.

(Photo Credit: Tom Cooper/Getty Images for Global Down Syndrome Foundation) Rob Lowe’s politics have undergone changes over time Some may assume, given his famous portrayal of Sam Seaborn in The West Wing and the fact that he’s a Hollywood actor that Rob would be squarely a Democrat. In 1988, he was (famously … and also infamously, due to a memorable scandal) campaigning for Democrat Michael Dukakis. By 2003, however, he devoted his name and platform to electing Arnold Schwarzenegger as California’s Republican governor. In 2009, before Parks & Recreation had introduced him to new generations of viewers, Lowe spoke to The Guardian about his evolving political views: “You know, there’s that great quote: ‘If you’re young and you’re not a liberal, you have no heart. If you’re older and not a conservative, you have no brain.’ I started out being a really, really liberal Democrat.” Actor Rob Lowe looks on during pregame between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 12, 2023. (Photo Credit: Jamie Squire/Getty Images) Rob then suggested: “[That changes] as you get older and you have children and you get more life experience.” That is a stereotype regarding some generations, particularly Baby Boomers. However, this has conspicuously not been happening with younger generations for complex yet understandable reasons. According to Lowe himself (at the time), his political label is very middle-of-the-road: “I’m what you would call an independent moderate. I haven’t crossed the aisle, so to speak.” Rob Lowe is on ‘Brats,’ the Brat Pack documentary As Forbes reports, ABC’s Brats documentary will premiere on Hulu on Thursday, June 13. It will also air on Disney+ during the summer. The film follows some of the biggest, hottest young stars from the ’80s — many of whom are recognizable across generations because they starred in instant classics. Rob Lowe is only one of the many names and faces from that era who participated in the doc. Perhaps he’ll give an update on his politics … or perhaps he’ll save it for his podcast.

Nicki Minaj does not appear to be in a very positive place at the moment. Late on Monday, the rapper addressed the camera via Twitter while wearing a silk turban and a night gown. For whatever reason, she delved at the time into giving birth to her son back in 2020, explaining to listeners: “One day, they’re yelling ‘push’ and you’re in pain. Then one day, comes out a beautiful baby boy.” Nicki Minaj 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) Minaj then grew a little bit quiet, whispering into the camera: “Thank God your glory. “Congratulations to him and my ma up there, you’re doing a great job. In case no one’s told you that, you’re doing a great job.” This is a very nice sentiment, of course. On its own, Minaj is just thinking back to her labor and delivery and acknowledging her late mother. i honestly hope she’s okay. #WeLoveYouNicki pic.twitter.com/iMyqX77fLB — Fendi Minaj ???? (@DropAtea) June 11, 2024 But there’s another aspect of this story that has fans and followers both concerned and curious. The video, you see, was shared hours after divorce rumors began to circulate on social media because the Grammy winner shared a cryptic post online that simply read: “Yes single.” Perhaps Minaj was just watching a baseball game and cheering a team on. Or perhaps she was teasing a forthcoming song. But more than likely, she was referring to the union between herself and her controversial husband Kenneth Petty. Nicki Minaj performs onstage during iHeartRadio Power 96.1’s Jingle Ball 2023 at State Farm Arena on December 14, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia.

He and Minaj got married in 2019. After moving to California to be with Minaj in 2020, Petty failed to register as a sex offender in that state… for which he was sentenced to house arrest and probation in 2022​.

Added a long-time fan and user: “I’m so worried about nicki i pray she’s doing ok and finds the strength to guide her through whatever it is she’s going through right now.

Donald Trump is once again expressing his views regarding Taylor Swift. And once again, his supporters and her fans probably wish the embattled presidential candidate would just keep quiet on this particular matter. Trump’s latest remarks about Taylor come courtesy of an upcoming book by Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.

(Photo by Luke Hales/Getty Images) Donald Trump Shares His Thoughts on Taylor Swift “She’s got a great star quality. She really does,” Trump says of Taylor in Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass (via Page Six). “I think she’s beautiful — very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal,” the former president continued. “She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually — unusually beautiful!” Taylor Swift attends ‘In Conversation With… Taylor Swift’ during the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival at TIFF Bell Lightbox on September 09, 2022 in Toronto, Ontario. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Trump went on to admit that he doesn’t “know” Taylor’s music “well” before speculating about her political beliefs: “But she is liberal, or is that just an act?” he asked Setoodeh. “She’s legitimately liberal? It’s not an act? It surprises me that a country star can be successful being liberal,” Trump continued.

But he’s liberal. It’s one of those things…” Setoodeh writes that Trump then “trail[ed] off.” Taylor Is Not a Fan of Trump’s Taylor kept her political views to herself for much of her career, and her friendship with Karlie Kloss (who is married to Joshua Kushner, brother of Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner) led many to believe that she might be a closet member of MAGA Nation. But the pop icon set the record straight in 2018 when she publicly endorsed Tennessee Democratic candidates Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.

(Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) “In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now,” she explained on Instagram at the time. “I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country.” In 2020, Taylor endorsed Joe Biden’s presidential candidacy, telling V magazine at the time that she thought he had “a chance to start the healing process [the US] so desperately needs.” That same year, Taylor tweeted about her desire to “vote [Trump] out in November.” Republican presidential candidate, former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during his campaign rally at Sunset Park on June 09, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images) Taylor vs. Trump: The Battle Continues At one point, she accused the then-president of exacerbating existing racial tensions for the benefit of his campaign: “After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?” Taylor tweeted during the 2020 election. “‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’???” she added, before tagging Trump. So yeah, Trump probably won’t be dancing to The Tortured Poets Department while he’s on the campaign trail this summer. But he should definitely resist the temptation to start a feud with Taylor. After all, he’s got bigger problems to deal with these days. Donald Trump Calls Taylor Swift ‘Unusually Beautiful,’ Suggests Her Liberal … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Jeremy Vuolo and Jinger Duggar are selling their house. Ever since the Vuolos first packed up and moved to Los Angeles, fans have wondered when one of Jinger’s siblings will join her in L.A., far from the Duggar compound. But Jing and Jer aren’t remaining in their luxurious home permanently. The couple just listed their house — for very nearly $1 million. Where are they moving next? Jinger Duggar participates in a remote interview in August of 2023. (Photo Credit: YouTube) Jeremy Vuolo and Jinger Duggar are selling their house On Wednesday, June 5, Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo’s property listing went up. According to a report from In Touch Weekly, the soon-to-be-former Vuolo house’s current list price is $899,999. This means that they are selling the house less than two years after moving in. Jinger and Jeremy bought their spacious home in August 2022, paying $830,000 for it. Celebrating her book’s nomination, Jinger Duggar films herself while driving. (Image Credit: Jinger Duggar) As for the house itself, it is a 1,800 square foot residence. It includes five bedrooms and two bathrooms. A home this size would be a middle class or upper middle class purchase in most places. In Los Angeles, it has nearly three times the price that it might in most US cities … and it would be even less expensive if it were, to be blunt, in the middle of nowhere. (Thus, why Jim Bob has been able to own so many properties in rural Arkansas) At the table, Jinger Duggar and Joy-Anna Duggar enjoy their dinner. (Image Credit: Jinger Duggar/YouTube) Where are Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo moving? Some fans have felt taken by surprise at Jinger and Jeremy’s home sale. They only lived there for a little over a year and a half. Additionally, the couple have been renovating the home during their stay. Among other things, Jinger and Jeremy added a porch swing and flowers. Perhaps this was always the plan — and the renovations were to add value. Or maybe this is the result of a fairly abrupt change of plans. Assuming that Jinger and Jeremy go through with selling the house and moving, there are three possibilities. The first is that they simply move somewhere else in the Los Angeles area. This is the simplest eventuality. Meanwhile, the second possibility is that Jinger and Jeremy could move back to Arkansas — downgrading their lifestyle or reconnecting with the core Duggars. As with so many YouTubers, Jinger Duggar ends her video by asking people to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for her video and channel. That might take some commitment. (Image Credit: Jinger Duggar/YouTube) Have they spoken about moving plans before? The third possibility, of course, would just be for Jinger and Jeremy to move somewhere else — not L.A. and not Arkansas. But that’s a wild card option. Back in 2019, Jinger and Jeremy moved to California. Even then, they had not been living in Arkansas, but in Laredo, Texas. At the time, they shared that Jeremy was pursuing graduate studies at The Master’s Seminary. He has already been enjoying a position as pastor at their local church. After the purchase of their current home, Jinger acknowledged that some fans had wondered if she’d leave California. That was not the case. “We’re staying in California,” Jinger assured her fans. Even at the time, she admitted that she felt unsure as to whether that specific house would be a “forever home.” Jeremy Vuolo winks at the camera in a scene from Counting On. (Photo Credit: TLC) We’re sure that we’ll see their next house Jinger and Jeremy have not hesitated to share things about their lives in L.A. When they have a new house to flaunt, they’ll make sure that fans get a tour on social media. Especially as they begin to make upgrades. Of course, if this house sale comes under grim circumstances — like budgetary concerns — then fans might not see as much as they expect to. Either way, we should know much more about Jeremy and Jinger’s plans in the months to come.

The truth is, Celine Dion may never perform again, so watching the superstar perform in her prime during the ‘Taking Chances’ tour may be the closest some fans get to attending one of her concerts ever again. Celine set out on the 2008–2009 ‘Taking Chances’ World Tour after she dropped the 2007 studio album of the same name. It became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. It was filming over the course of two stops and released in 2010 for worldwide audience to enjoy. Just over a decade later, a debilitating neurological disorder has made it so Celine can barely speak, let alone sing. So, if you’re looking to watch the concert film, we know how to. Celine Dion performs onstage during the 2017 Billboard Music Awards at T-Mobile Arena on May 21, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Celine Dion’s Last Tour and Why It Was Canceled Days before the world officially started shutting down due to Covid-19, Celine Dion was performing to packed audiences in Newark, NJ. Her March 8th show turned out to be the final of her ‘Courage’ tour, which was meant to travel the world well into 2022. At first, fans thought the pandemic kept her away and cancelled her tour. Then, the harsh truth was revealed. Celine shockingly shared with the world in late 2022 that that she had been diagnosed with stiff person syndrome, a neurological disorder affecting her muscles. For the next year, she was rarely heard from, opting to leave the spotlight to find a way forward with her diagnosis. In the spring of 2024, she reemerged, ready to share her story, not only in interviews, but with an in-depth documentary titled I Am: Celine Dion. When asked if she’s recovered enough to sing and tour again, Celine shared that it may never happen, as just the sheer act of singing makes it feel like someone is ‘strangling‘ her.

(Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images) Celine Dion’s ‘Taking Chances’ Tour: How To Watch Her Last Concert Film If Celine really won’t be able to perform ever again, then her Taking Chances concert film is the last world tour of the Grammy-winner‘s ever documented. The tour spanned five continents, 25 countries, and 93 cities, every date sold-out. It broke attendance records and covered her vast career, from “The Power of Love” to “My Heart Will Go On.” For fans who wish to relive the epic tour or who want to see how incredible of a show Celine can put on, there are a few options. For streamers, the Celine Dion: Taking Chances World Tour – The Concert film is available on PBS Passport as well as Amazon Prime Video, through a free trial of Qello Concerts. Incidentally, Amazon Prime will premiere Celine’s documentary on June 25, 2024.

We have an update on the tragic death of Michael Mosley. On Sunday morning, the body of this well-known television presenter and doctor in Great Britain was discovered on the Greek island of Symi after a days-long search. Mosley was 67 years old. May Michael Mosley rest in perpetual peace. (BBC News) A day later, a Greek police spokesperson has told the BBC that no injuries were found on Mosley’s body post-mortem and that the position of his body indicated that natural causes were likely the reason for his death. Officials have ordered a toxicology and histology report, although The Guardian reports that the results will not be available for several months. No foul play is suspected. Mosley was a popular presence abroad for his numerous programs on the BBC, along with his regular appearances on TV and radio and his column in the Daily Mail newspaper. He was known outside the United Kingdom for his 2013 book “The Fast Diet,” which he co-authored with journalist Mimi Spencer. In 2002, Mosley was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding non-fiction special (informational) after executive producing the 2001 BBC mini-series “The Human Face,” which examined the science behind facial beauty, expression and fame.

(ITV) Mosley’s wife, meanwhile, said her husband took the wrong route on a hike and collapsed just short of reaching a marina in a place where his body could not easily be seen. “Michael was an adventurous man, it’s part of what made him so special,” Dr. Clare Bailey Mosley said in statement. “It’s devastating to have lost Michael, my wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant husband. We had an incredibly lucky life together. “We loved each other very much and were so happy together.” The spouses got married in 1987 and share four children. This is one of many books authored by the late Michael Mosley. (Amazon) “I am incredibly proud of our children, their resilience and support over the past days,” Clare added in her statement. “My family and I have been hugely comforted by the outpouring of love from people from around the world. It’s clear that Michael meant a huge amount to so many of you. … I feel so lucky to have our children and my amazing friends. “Most of all, I feel so lucky to have had this life with Michael.” A spokesperson for British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said Mosley “will be known as an extraordinary broadcaster who used his platform to influence and change the way we think about many public health issues.” We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Michael Mosley. May he rest in peace. Michael Mosley Cause of Death: What Happened to the British TV Doctor? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

JoJo Siwa may be (once again) trying too hard, as some critics are putting it. In May, JoJo Siwa celebrated her 21st birthday. Over the weekend, she performed at Pride. But between her egging on the audience, boasting about her body count, and chugging a drink on stage … maybe it’s all a little too much, you know? JoJo Siwa performs onstage during LA Pride in the Park at Los Angeles Historical Park on June 08, 2024. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) JoJo Siwa made a splash at her L.A. Pride performance On Saturday, June 8, JoJo Siwa performed for L.A. Pride in the Park. She appeared to be holding — and, at times, chugging — a bottle of vodka. “I have performed in front of six-year-olds louder than you,” JoJo teased the crowd. Notably, her biggest claim to fame is as a children’s entertainer. “In fact, there is a six-year-old right there — why the f–k are you here?” she joked with the crowd. “I love it. I’m so here for it. You’re awesome, dude. My point is don’t let that superstar be louder than you guys. Lemme, hear you make some f–king noise.” JoJo Siwa performs onstage during LA Pride in the Park at Los Angeles Historical Park on June 08, 2024. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) To be clear, though, JoJo was mixing a performance with what was essentially a standup comedy routine. “Not going to lie, I have to deal with a lot of them online,” JoJo said of online trolls. “I woke up this morning and, as one does, I opened my phone and the first thing that came up was a picture of me performing back when I was in London a couple of days ago.” She shared: “Some guy… I stalked his page, he was definitely straight … This guy commented, and this was a new comment for me. It wasn’t about a dance that I do. It wasn’t about my hairline; it wasn’t that I’m a 5-foot-9 giant toddler. It said, ‘This man needs to be stopped.'” JoJo Siwa offered a comical comeback “Number one, my d–k was bigger than his and number two, I f–ked more girls than him,” JoJo declared. Though some online trolls are inexplicably successful in other areas of life (leaving one to wonder why they lash out so viciously), most of the time, they are not. The root causes of these toxic behaviors stem from people who are frustrated and generally feel powerless, so they lash out to try to ruin other people’s day. Misery loves company, after all. (And, in this case, the person was clearly several types of bigotry in a trench coat) JoJo Siwa visits the SiriusXM Studio at SiriusXM Studios on May 29, 2024. (Photo Credit: Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for SiriusXM) With that in mind … it’s entirely likely that JoJo has enjoyed better success in terms of relationships and sex than some bitter social media denizen. She is an attractive young adult. She’s rich. And she’s also genuinely famous. All of those, by themselves, would be recipes for getting laid. So, even if she weren’t comparing herself to some loser who types homophobic and misdirected transphobic misogyny replies on social media, we’re sure that she’s doing just fine for herself. JoJo Siwa performs onstage during LA Pride in the Park at Los Angeles Historical Park on June 08, 2024. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Was JoJo Siwa really chugging vodka on stage? It is entirely possible that JoJo, who is 21 years old and of course has every legal right to drink alcohol, had vodka with her on stage. But, as countless people with serious substance abuse problems can tell you, you can put different drinks into different containers. Someone’s water bottle could have vodka. And someone’s vodka bottle could be full of water — and thus be just a prop for a performance. JoJo actually has a history of (playfully) trolling fans, so it’s entirely possible that she was merely projecting a “party girl” image rather than drinking straight liquor. (Straight liquor, at Pride?) JoJo Siwa visits SiriusXM Studios on May 29, 2024. (Photo Credit: Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for SiriusXM) Whether it’s part of JoJo Siwa’s “edgy” rebranding or just part of her on-stage performance, we obviously hope that she’s taking care of herself. Anyone who has ever chugged vodka directly from the bottle can probably assure you that it’s a mistake. Of course, JoJo’s 21 … which is a very normal age to make those mistakes. And to learn from them. Either way, we hope that she’s having a happy Pride Month. We’re sure that it’s going better for her than it is for the hateful trolls who hope that their comments ruin her day. JoJo Siwa Taunts Trolls, Chugs From ‘Vodka’ Bottle on Stage at L.A.

Ryan Reynold’s has appeared on The View several times in his career, but he’s always been invited. This morning, the Deadpool star snuck into the studio without any of the hosts being wise to his presence. Until, of course, he showed his face! There’s no mistaking that face!

((Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images)) Ryan Reynolds Crashes ‘The View’ With His Mom: Watch Shortly after the ladies got through Hot Topics on Monday June 10, Whoopi Goldberg made a fascinating discovery. “You never know what’s going on here at ‘The View,’” she said to the crowd, about halfway through the show. “You know, sometimes, you look up and you’re like ‘Oh, this is really great.’ And then you look over and you go ‘Oh, snap! There’s Ryan Reynolds!’” And sure enough, sitting front row in the audience was Ryan, accompanied by his mother, Tammy Reynolds. As it turns out, Tammy is an avid watcher of the show and as she was in town to visit her grandkids, she asked her famous son if he could pull some strings. Do we spy… @VancityReynolds in our audience!? ???? He fulfilled his mom’s dream and brought her to @TheView! pic.twitter.com/XB5T19XZaa — The View (@TheView) June 10, 2024 Ryan explained that he made a call to the show, telling them “I’m Blake (Lively’s) husband” and asked if they could get in. And they did! “By the way, this is way less stressful than up there,” Ryan joked as the camera panned to them in the audience. Delighted to have the famous family watching on, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin offered Tammy and Ryan an open invitation to return. She then added, “Tell Blake to come on!” Ryan Reynold’s Big Summer Plans It’s nice that Ryan fit in some time with his mom during her visit to see his daughters, Betty, Inez, and James. Pretty soon, his life is going to be all about Deadpool & Wolverine, the highly anticipated 3rd movie in the franchise. Ever since the first Deadpool dropped in 2016, the union of the anti-hero in red and black and the X-Men’s most complicated leader has been clamored for. On July 25th, fans will finally get to see the film they’ve been wishing for, and there seems to be no question that Ryan and Hugh Jackman, who is returning to the role of Logan for the first time since 2017, are going to bring it.

Will Smith is back from the dead. Or, at least, back from wherever one goes after one slaps the host of the Academy Awards on stage in front of millions of viewers because said host made a pretty basic joke about his wife. This is a long and confusing way of stating the following: Bad Boys: Ride or Die earned $104.6 million globally this weekend after being released on Friday. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in Bad Boys Ride or Die. (FRANK MASI/SONY PICTURES) The impressive figure came as a surprise to some because Smith has been out of the spotlight for years, really. As cited above, he made the shocking decision in March 2022 to confront Chris Rock at the Oscars after Rock made a quip about Jada Pinkett’s bald head… smacking Rock in the face at the time. We truly still can’t believe this happened. At one point in Bad Boys 4, Smith’s character gets slapped in the face repeatedly by Martin Lawrence’s character in a scene that we’d have to imagine was included purposely as some kind of nod to Smith’s bizarre behavior back then. “The scene acts as a kind of pop exorcism,” critic Owen Gleiberman wrote in Entertainment Weekly, explaining in his review: “It’s ‘punishing’ Smith, making cruel fun of his transgression, and just maybe, in the process, allowing him to crawl out from under the image of it.” Martin Lawrence and Will Smith pose during the red carpet for the movie ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ at Cinepolis Parque Toreo on June 1, 2024 in Naucalpan de Juarez, Mexico. (Photo by Angel Delgado/Getty Images) Smith, of course, was one of the most popular celebrities alive pre-slap. But he was criticized sharply for basically assaulting Rock in the aforementioned manner, while folks were then left to also analyze his unusual marriage to Pinkett Smith. The spouses appear to be together, but have also hinted in the past that they have an open marriage. Not that we’re judging. Whatever works, you know? Martin Lawrence and Will Smith pose during a photoshoot for the movie ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ at Angel de la Independencia on May 31, 2024 in Mexico City, Mexico. (Photo by Hector Vivas/Getty Images) For Smith, going back to a franchise such as Bad Boys in order to return to big screen prominence has clearly worked out. In a six-minute video posted to his Instagram and YouTube accounts about two years ago, meanwhile, Smith addressed the Rock slap. “I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you are ready to talk,” the actor said, talking to the comedian directly and later adding: “I’m not going to try to unpack all of that right now, but I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment,” Smith said. “There’s no part of me that thinks that is the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults… “I know it was shocking, but I promise you I am deeply devoted and committed to putting light and love and joy into the world, and you know, if you hang on, I promise we’ll be able to be friends again.” Will Smith Slapped on Screen, Returns to Box Office Dominance was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Mamie Laverock’s family has shared the first photo of the When Calls the Heart star in her hospital bed. As we previously reported, Mamie was badly injured when she fell from a five-story balcony at a Vancouver hospital. According to her family, the actress had been at the hospital recovering from an unspecified “medical emergency” at the time of her fall. Mamie Laverock in a scene from the Hallmark series When Calls the Heart. (Hallmark/Youtube) Mamie Laverock’s Family Shares First Photo From Hospital, Update on Actress’ Recovery The family has been offering frequent updates on Mamie’s recovery. Over the weekend, the actress’ loved ones shared a photo from the hospital. The image, which was posted on Mamie’s Facebook page, shows only her bandaged hand clutching a teddy bear. The photo was posted without a caption, but many commenters took it as an indication that the 19-year-old’s recovery is progressing slowly but surely. Laverock Family Raises Funds Following Mamie’s Near-Fatal Fall Mamie’s family has been posting regular updates on a GoFundMe page that has already raised nearly $40,000 for the young actress’ recovery. “She is enduring tremendous pain,” the update noted. “She has undergone two 11 hour surgeries with two doctors working on her, a three hour surgery and another surgery.” Mamie’s family previously shared that the actress is “showing signs of improvement” following the incident that nearly claimed her life. Mamie Laverock appears alongside her onscreen mother in a scene from Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart. (Hallmark (YouTube screenshot)) “Mamie is out of her big surgeries and the doctors [say] she is doing well,” the family wrote last week. “It’s impossible for us to be happier. Thank you all for your support.” A Succession of Tragedies Mamie’s troubles began back on May 11, when she suffered some sort of life-threatening emergency. “On Saturday May 11th, Nicole traveled to Winnipeg to help Mamie, who was having a medical emergency,” the family shared without elaborating on the nature of the crisis. “Nicole was able to get there in time to save her life. Then got her to a hospital in Winnipeg.” Sadly, the situation went from bad to worse while Mamie was being transported from one unit of the hospital to another. (GoFundMe) “We are deeply saddened to report that on May 26th, Mamie, who has been in intensive treatment for the past two weeks, was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories,” her family explained. “She sustained life-threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support. We are all devastated, in shock, at this intensely difficult time.” It’s still unclear how Mamie managed to fall from a balcony while under the care of hospital staff, but the actress’ mother says she’s planning to take legal action. Our thoughts go out to Mamie and her family during this enormously difficult time. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Maren Morris has made a very personal and passionate announcement. While acknowledging the latest stop on her RSVP: Redux Tour via Instagram, the artist went ahead over this past weekend and revealed that she is a member of the LGBTQ community. “PHOENIX, AZ,” Maren wrote in her June 9 post alongside a series of snapshots, including one of her holding a Pride flag, adding: “happy to be the B in LGBTQ+. happy pride.” Maren Morris attends the 2023 Variety Hitmakers Brunch at NYA WEST on December 2, 2023 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) For those unclear, Morris was saying here that she is bisexual. In January, Morris finalized her divorce from Ryan Hurd after five years of marriage. Based court documents obtained by various outlets, the singer filed for the dissolution of her marriage on October 2 of last year, citing “irreconcilable differences” for the split at the time. The former spouses will share custody of their four-year old son. Said Morris to E! News in February in the wake of her divorce: “I feel like what I’ve learned just in the last year is that you are your longest relationship in your life and tending to that and nurturing and taking care of yourself is not a bad thing.” Morris hasn’t said anything in the past about her own sexuality. But she has stood up staunchly for gay rights.

Prior to that, Morris went after Jason Aldean’s wife after she made transphobic comments. The popular and talented singer is one of the more outspoken celebrities out there … and we adore her for it!

She remains on the market, guys and gals. “I am kind of getting to know myself more,” she told this outlet a couple months ago. “I’m comfortable dancing on my own and enjoying the pleasure of my own company.” Maren Morris Comes Out as Bisexual in Moving Pride Month Message was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Meghan McCain has some things to say about Jennifer Lopez. She’s not the only one. J. Lo’s unpopularity may have reached a tipping point. Amidst her flopped tour, a couple of not very good movies, and rumors of an impending divorce from Ben Affleck, she’s seen better days. Ordinarily, criticism from Meghan McCain is a badge of honor. But this may be one of those rare cases where John McCain’s daughter is making some solid points. Meghan McCain attends the 2023 TIME100 Gala at Jazz at Lincoln Center on April 26, 2023. (Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for TIME) Jennifer Lopez is ‘deeply unpleasant,’ says Meghan McCain Meghan McCain, former primary antagonist of The View and outspoken daughter of the late Senator John McCain, spoke on the Friday, June 7 episode of the Citizen McCain podcast. “I, too, share similar negative stories that the entire world does,” she remarked. “I feel bad because we’re turning a point where there’s bullying happening to J. Lo.” Meghan bluntly stated: “She just is a deeply unpleasant person.” 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) There was more to Meghan McCain’s critique of Jennifer Lopez than simply the singer’s lack of people skills. “She had the biggest entourage I’ve ever seen [when she was on ‘The View’],” she recalled. Meghan McCain alleged that she’d arrived with “More than Kim Kardashian and the president.” She added that she didn’t “really understand why it was needed.” Meghan McCain joins host Julie Mason during a SiriusXM event on February 5, 2018. (Photo Credit: Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM) Did Jennifer Lopez get Meghan McCain’s TikTok video taken down? McCain alleged that Lopez “had our video taken down.” She then added an “allegedly,” as she has no proof to back up that claim. Specifically, Meghan McCain had said on TikTok that Jennifer Lopez was not her “favorite” guest during her time on The View. Though McCain cannot confirm who reported her video (and was able to get it reinstated within hours), she seems to genuinely believe that J. Lo is behind the erstwhile takedown notice. Thinking back to Jennifer Lopez’s guest appearance on The View, she described finding the singer with one of her minions holding “a mirror with lights while they were touching her up backstage.” That isn’t an accusation of bad behavior. It is, rather, a description of excessive behavior that McCain found to be unbecoming. “I was a host at ‘The View,’ she was not nice,” Meghan McCain assessed. “You don’t always have to be so nice, but it was surprising that people like Kim Kardashian couldn’t be more delightful.” 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) Most celebrity guests can at least pretend to be friendly McCain then suggested: “When you’re coming on a show for a 10-minute segment … just fake it ’til you make it for 10 f–king minutes.” Though that’s not generally what “fake it ’til you make it” means, it’s otherwise not bad advice. Most people can emulate friendliness for short periods of time, just to be polite or make a good impression. Of those who do not, the majority of people are making a choice. McCain’s account of Lopez matches a lot of the general reputation that she has. That said, a lack of friendliness is not an immoral behavior. It doesn’t leave a good impression, but it doesn’t make someone a bad person. At the same time, many people who already believed Lopez to be a bad person are taking this as confirmation of existing bad vibes. Numerous reports and anecdotal accounts describe Jennifer Lopez not tipping servers and even insisting that Ben Affleck undertip or not tip servers. Unlike being unfriendly towards Meghan McCain, that alleged behavior is immoral. 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) That said … Some on social media have likened Meghan McCain’s issues with Jennifer Lopez to an Alien vs Predator conflict. This is a reference to that film’s tagline: “Whoever wins, we lose.” McCain herself is notorious, and for more than just having a bloated entourage. From petulant on-camera behavior to having notoriously bad takes, she has spent the past decade and a half alienating most of her now-former fans. Beefing with Jennifer Lopez is well and good. But perhaps Meghan McCain does not have much high ground in this feud. Meghan McCain Beefs with Jennifer Lopez: She’s Deeply Unpleasant! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

In a hopeful new message, Kate Middleton has promised to return to public life “very soon.” As we’ve previously reported, Kate will not be attending this year’s Trooping the Colour ceremony. In fact, she already missed the final rehearsals for the event over the weekend. But in an open letter to the Irish Guards — a Foot Guards regiment of the British Army for whom Kate serves as honorary colonel — the Princess of Wales expressed optimism about her future. Catherine, Princess of Wales during a Diplomatic Corps reception at Buckingham Palace on December 6, 2022 in London, England. (Photo by Victoria Jones – Pool/Getty Images) Kate Middleton Promises to Return to Public Life “I wanted to write and let you know how proud I am of the entire Regiment ahead of the Colonel’s Review and Trooping the Colour,” Kate wrote in the letter. “I appreciate everyone trooping this year has been practicing for months, and dedicating many hours to ensuring their uniforms and drill are immaculate.” “Being your colonel remains an honour and I am very sorry that I’m unable to make the salute at this year’s Colonel’s Review,” she continued, adding: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge talks to guests at an evening reception for members of the Diplomatic Corps at Buckingham Palace on December 11, 2019 in London, England. (Photo by Victoria Jones – WPA Pool/Getty Images) “Please pass on my apologies to the whole regiment. I do hope that I’m able to represent you all once again very soon. Please send my very best wishes and good luck to all involved.” The Latest on Kate’s Condition Kate has been battling cancer for several months, and the royals have offered very few updates about her condition. We don’t know what kind of cancer Kate is fighting, but we do know that she’s undergoing chemotherapy.

(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) What’s Next For Kate Middleton? It might be a while before we receive another update regarding Kate Middleton’s timeline for returning to public life. Obviously, her letter to the Irish Guard didn’t offer much in the way of detail, but it did offer something just as useful — hope. Catherine, Princess of Wales during a visit to the Greentown Labs in Somerville, to learn about climate innovations which are being incubated in Boston on December 1, 2022 in Boston, United States.

But she also made it clear that she’s applying her famous work ethic to the task of getting well. So while Kate might not wish to discuss her health issues publicly, we have zero doubt that her promise to return will soon be fulfilled.

Congratulations are reportedly in order for Amber Portwood. According to Us Weekly, the polarizing MTV personality is engaged to her boyfriend, someone named Gary who recently made his Teen Mom debut. This outlet wrote a couple days ago that the proposal took place “within the last two weeks,” adding that Portwood’s engagement ring was crafted from “a family stone that was reset into a new ring.” Amber Portwood on an episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. (MTV) Simply put? “She’s really, really happy,” the tabloid claims of Portwood. Amber hasn’t said very much in public about Gary, who, just to be clear, is NOT the father of her oldest child, Gary Shirley. This is a different guy named Gary. The betrothed couple met about nine months ago on a dating app. All we really know about this new Gary is that he is in his late 30s… does not have children of his own… has never watched Teen Mom… and resides near Amber’s hometown of Indianapolis. Amber Portwood has had her share of legal trouble over the years. (MTV) Reports the Us Weekly insider: “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 is good to know — because Amber has had her share of problems. She allegedly threatened ex-boyfriend Andrew Glennon with a machete in 2019. In response to this incident, and other violent incidents involving the MTV personality, Glennon previously filed a motion to prevent Portwood from seeing the ex-couple’s son. Amber Portwood attends the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards at The Forum on August 27, 2017 in Inglewood, California.

She later became a cast member on Teen Mom and Teen Mom OG from 2009 to 2021. The mother of two returned to the franchise for 2022’s Teen Mom: Family Reunion and 2023’s Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. Portwood shares daughter Leah with Shirley, to whom she was engaged on two occasions; and also son James with Glennon, who she dated from 2017 to 2019.

Why might this relationship last? “All the guys Amber has dated before she met on social media and were fans of the show,” Us Weekly explained late last week. “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.” Amber Portwood: Engaged to Some Dude Named Gary!!! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck appear one step closer to filing for divorce. According to TMZ, the struggling spouses have hired realtor Santiago Arana to help them sell the $60 million Beverly Hills mansion they purchased just over a year ago. An insider tells this same website that Lopez is already in the market for a new residence, too.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Amid all the speculation that Lopez and Affleck are nearing the end of their marriage, this would be the most concrete sign to date that things are very much amiss. The aforementioned realtor has reportedly been gauging interest in the massive home for about two weeks — which aligns with how long speculation of Bennifer’s demise has been running rampant across the Internet. In mid-May, for example, In Touch Weekly wrote that a divorce between the couple was “imminent.” The tabloid explained at the time that Lopez had hired both a PR firm and well-known divorce attorney as she considered whether or not to cut the romantic and legal chord on her latest union.

They’ve made the occasional appearance over the last several days (attending a play together that featured one of Affleck’s kids, for instance), but this hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from churning. HARD. “They’re not always on the same page,” a source previously told Entertainment Tonight, keeping things rather vague and adding: “They both have so much going on between taking care of their families and their work commitments and it can be a lot for them.” Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck arrive for the world premiere of “The Flash” at Ovation Hollywood in Hollywood, California, on June 12, 2023. (Photo by MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) In Mexico City to promote her new movie late last month, Lopez was asked about a pending divorce. “You know better than that,” she told the reporter who dared to bring it up at a press conference, refusing to elaborate. To be clear, neither actor has commented on the growing speculation. But this real estate-based action would appear to speak louder than almost any of their words possibly could. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have given it their best. ((Photo by MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) Lopez and Affleck famously dated from 2002 to 2004, even getting engaged back then before calling the relationship off. They both went on to marry other people in the many years since, too. But the celebrities rekindled their romance in 2021 and then eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 … prior to hosting a a star-studded wedding at Affleck’s compound outside Savannah, Georgia. It seemed like a true fairy tale. But now we’re obligated to ask whether the relationship has turned into a nightmare.

(Photo by Hector Vivas/Getty Images) “They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her,” In Touch reported a short time ago, concluding simply: “There’s no way it could have lasted.” We’ll continue to provide updates on the estranged husband and wife until the seemingly inevitable day in which they are no longer husband and wife.

Michael Douglas has the history of marriage and divorce that you might expect from an A-list actor with a lengthy career. Whether fans know him for his classic work decades ago or for his role as the cantankerous Hank Pym in the MCU, Michael Douglas is a Hollywood legend. But the topic of his marital status has come into question more than once — and with good reason. Hollywood marriages are complex subjects. But here’s his history, and where things stand today.

As we mentioned, Michael Douglas has been a prominent actor since before many of his fans are alive. As such, his relationship history goes back nearly as far. In 1971, Michael Douglas began dating fellow actor Brenda Vaccaro, following the filming of Summertree. That romance would go on to span six years of their lives. However, he moved on, and his next serious relationship took on a more formal label. Michael Douglas speaks on stage to present the premiere of ‘Franklin’ during the Closing Ceremony during the 7th Canneseries International Festival on April 10, 2024. (Photo Credit: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) On March of 1977, then-32-year-old Douglas married the daughter of an Austrian diplomat. Diandra Luker was 19 at the time. During their relationship, they welcomed one child. Their son, Cameron, was born in 1978. In 1995, after nearly 20 years together, Diandra filed to divorce Michael Douglas. The settlement included a payout to her to the tune of $45 million.

Ruscio/Getty Images for Campari) Michael Douglas’ most famous relationship is with Catherine Zeta-Jones In March of 1999, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones began dating. They were both already immensely famous stars — and quickly made it clear that they were serious about each other. On November 18 of 2000, Douglas and Zeta-Jones married. They have welcomed two children. The pair had son Dylan Michael on August 8, 2000 and daughter Carys Zeta on April 20, 20003.

(Photo Credit: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) Despite their famous romance and two shared children, there have been bumps along the way. Late in the summer of 2013, People reported that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were living separately. In fact, the report alleges that the two had begun this informal separation — without filing for anything — in May of that year. However, reports maintained that they were taking a break to make the marriage work. By November, they had reportedly reconciled and were once again living together. By 2015, Douglas was characterizing their marriage to as “stronger than ever” while speaking to Ellen DeGeneres.

(Photo Credit: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) Did Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones divorce? In October of 2023, RadarOnline claimed that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were effectively divorced in all but name. Memorably, Zeta-Jones has expressed disgust over divorce and has no desire to do it. “The marriage is over, but they don’t want to do the whole divorce and separation thing,” the insider alleged. “So, they have this arrangement that’s working for them because nobody knows about it. They are definitely living separate lives.” If Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are really divorced in all but name, they’re doing a great job of hiding it. As of late spring in 2024, there was still no official buzz about any marital rift in the longtime Hollywood couple.

It’s really not a great time to be Meghan Markle and/or Prince Harry. First, Markle was labeled a difficult, demanding and controlling woman by some random person in Great Britain. Then, speculation started to run rampant over something Harry may have said to Prince William about marrying Kate Middleton back in the day. And now? Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex arrive at the Lagos airport for Official State Welcome on May 12, 2024 in Lagos, Nigeria. (Photo by Andrew Esiebo/Getty Images for The Archewell Foundation) The polarizing spouses — who resigned from their Royal Duties just over four years ago and moved to California — are said to be checking out certain private schools in Montecito, the luxurious area where in which they reside. Sending their son and daughter to these kinds of institutions would come with a hefty price tag, as one campus they are considering reportedly costs over $40,000 per year. It’s their money, of course. And one would think that spending it on the education of their kids would be an ideal way to spend it/ But not everyone feels this way. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex attend Invictus Games Vancouver Whistlers 2025’s One Year To Go Winter Training Camp on February 15, 2024 in Whistler, British Columbia. (Photo by Andrew Chin/Getty Images) Consider Lee Cohen, for example, someone described by In Touch Weekly as a “Royal commentator.” This individual took Markle and Harry to task this week, dragging them for “their supposed commitment to progressive causes” and saying this is “nothing but a facade,” elaborating as follows: “It’s utterly infuriating to hear that Harry and Meghan, the self-proclaimed champions of equality and social justice, are even contemplating enrolling their children in an exclusive, outrageously expensive school. “Yet they’re willing to pay staggering tens of thousands per year for their children’s education. How can they possibly justify this when so many families struggle to afford even the basic necessities?” Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex visit Nigeria Unconquered, a charity organisation that works in collaboration with the Invictus Games Foundation, at a reception at Officersâ Mess on May 11, 2024 in Abuja, Nigeria. (Photo by Andrew Esiebo/Getty Images for The Archewell Foundation) We mean, look. Markle and Harry have allegedly been having money problems for awhile now. As mentioned above, however, if they can afford to send their children to a private school? We don’t see this as hypocritical. It makes perfect sense to fight for income equality and to be grateful that you are doing well … while also using the funds you have to make choices that benefit your family. It’s not about being frugal for people who hold these beliefs; it’s about doing what you can to ensure everyone has the same opportunities and access in life. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex visit Lightway Academy on May 10, 2024 in Abuja, Nigeria. (Photo by Andre Esiebo/Getty Images for The Archewell Foundation) Still, Cohen called Harry and Meghan “frauds” for considering sending little Archie and Lilibet to institutions that “perpetuate the very systems of privilege that they claim to expose.” On Twitter, meanwhile, multiple users defended the celebrities, both of whom attended private schools themselves when they were young. “Education is a priority for Meghan and Harry,” one person wrote, while another added: “No one should begrudge Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan choosing a school where they can feel Prince Archie is the safest possible setting.” Meghan Markle and Prince Harry BLASTED for Potential Parenting Decision was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

What is the net worth of TV legend Vanna White? Though Wheel of Fortune is not ending, Pat Sajak has said an emotional farewell to audiences across the nation. Sajak’s own net worth stems from his lengthy success as a television host. Vanna did not have the same pay that Sajak raked in for 41 seasons. But her net worth might surprise you. … Vanna White attends the 29th Annual Race to Erase MS Gala at Fairmont Century Plaza on May 20, 2022. (Photo Credit: Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images) Vanna White’s history with ‘Wheel of Fortune’ is as old as the show itself In 1982, Vanna White began her full-time roll on Wheel of Fortune. Before that, she had been one of several alternates. And before that, she was actually one of the very first contestants — though that footage did not initially appear on TV. Whether you call her a letter-turner, letter-toucher, or “activator” (as “activating” is the official term for what she does to reveal the letters), White is a television icon. She does receive a hefty amount of money. The exact amounts are unclear, but she was previously raking in a reported $3 million per year. More recently, she signed on to co-host through 2026, and seemingly received a substantial raise in the process. Vanna White and Pat Sajak attend Harry Friedman being honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 01, 2019. (Photo Credit: David Livingston/Getty Images) What is Vanna White’s net worth? According to online estimates by Celebrity Net Worth, Vanna White has a net worth of about $85 million. Presumably, a great deal of that money comes from her decades on Wheel of Fortune and her years on the more recent spin-off, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. However (and crucially, as we will explain), Vanna White’s net worth also stems from other sources. That (in addition to the fact that these are all estimates) may explain why her estimated net worth is higher than Pat Sajak’s, when his salary was so much higher for such a long time.

(Photo Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Chrysalis Butterfly Ball) Remember, Vanna White (reportedly) had to haggle for a raise In 2023, Pat Sajak announced his impending retirement one year before he and Vanna said their on-screen goodbyes to each other. Allegedly, Vanna White hired some legal muscle to negotiate on her behalf for her own contract renewal. It had, if one believes the reports, been an abysmal 18 years since she had received a raise. By the final days of the summer in 2023, White had reportedly agreed to another two years on Wheel of Fortune and received a hefty raise. Alas, we do not know the details. “Wheel of Fortune” hostess Vanna White (L) and host Pat Sajak speak as they are inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Broadcasting Hall of Fame during the NAB Achievement in Broadcasting Dinner at Encore Las Vegas on April 9, 2018. (Photo Credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Images) How much does ‘Wheel of Fortune’ pay Vanna White? Obviously, we have to estimate. And, worse, we have to do math. However, if the reports of her (previous) $3 million salary are true, here’s the breakdown. Wheel of Fortune films four (long) days each month, filming about six episodes per day. Churning out 288 episodes per year is, after all, no small feat. That would mean that she makes a little over $10k per episode, a little over $62k per work day, and over $240k per month. That’s obviously a hefty pay — but compared to Pat Sajak’s pay and White’s status as a household name, it’s hard to get too excited. This is a television icon making a per-episode pay comparable to a brand new Real Housewife. Vanna White attends the 26th annual Race to Erase MS on May 10, 2019. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Race To Erase MS) How did Vanna White gain such an impressive net worth? If one views the estimates, Vanna White’s net worth of $85 million outstrips Pat Sajak’s by $10 million if not more. Her secret involves her interest in real estate. She purchases homes, repairs and improves them, and then sells them for a profit. Notably, she was doing this before “house-flipping” became a post-Great Recession fad. Relatedly, she has also invested in apartment buildings. While being a landlord is enough to tank many a celebrity’s brand, it’s important to note that it doesn’t sound like she buys up family homes in neighborhoods. Unlike leeches who strive to set up AirBnB fiefdoms and destroy housing markets, apartment buildings actually serve a positive function in society. She has had other sources of income, too We also shouldn’t forget that Vanna White is a bestselling author. Vanna Speaks, her 1987 memoir, raked in a $250,000 advance — a sizable advance now, but worth considerably more in the 1980s. She has also appeared as an actress, not unlike Pat Sajak. When it comes to real estate, she was using her Wheel of Fortune income to make new investments. But a memoir and acting roles are using her face and fame to market herself. She’s clearly a savvy businesswoman. Vanna White Net Worth: How Rich Has ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Made Her? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Pat Sajak adores his kids and takes pride in their accomplishments. Making good on his plans to retire from Wheel of Fortune, iconic host Pat Sajak gave an emotional farewell after 41 seasons. A man of Sajak’s net worth and fame doesn’t have to worry about his children’s successes the way that many parents might. But his kids have forged thriving careers for themselves. Game Show Host Pat Sajak arrives at the 38th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards held at the Las Vegas Hilton on June 19, 2011. (Photo Credit: David Becker/Getty Images) Pat Sajak has two children In his first marriage, which spanned from 1979 through 1986, Pat Sajack did not welcome any children with Sherrill Sajak. Despite his celebrity status as Wheel of Fortune‘s host, Sajak spent some time single following their divorce. However, he found love again. In 1989, he married Lesly Brown. Together, they went on to welcome two children. Pat Sajak and wife Lesly Brown Sajak attend the 25th anniversary celebration of the television game show “Wheel Of Fortune” at Radio City Music Hall September 27, 2007. (Photo Credit: Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images) Lesly Brown and Pat Sajak welcomed their son, Patrick Sajak, in 1990. In 1995, they welcomed their daughter, Maggie Sajak. As children, they both appeared on Wheel of Fortune. But, as an adult, Maggie has actually worked alongside her father. Dr. Patrick Sajak Pat and Lesly welcomed Patrick in 1990. Patrick is, overall, much more private than his father — a household name — or his sister. But the world still knows some of his exploits. In 2021, Pat Sajak took to Wheel of Fortune to “do a little parental bragging” about Patrick’s medical degree. His sister, Maggie, also gleefully shared the news on her Instagram page. “So you know my son Patrick? You’ve known him all of his life,” Pat Sajak told Vanna White in 2021. “He’s made it through medical school, and he’s now officially Dr. Sajak, and we are very thrilled about that.” The host then cracked a joke: “The only troubling part is he insists that I call him Dr. Sajak.” That is, admittedly, funny. Sajak continued: “Listen, I couldn’t be prouder, and I tried to get him into geriatrics, but he refused, but that’s a personal thing. Anyway, congratulations, son.” Commercial break Selfie break Don’t miss a brand new episode of #CelebrityWheelofFortune Sunday night at 9/8c on ABC! pic.twitter.com/XU7DkUK2HE — Maggie Sajak (@MaggieSajak) November 12, 2022 Maggie Sajak That same year, Maggie Sajak officially joined Wheel of Fortune as the show’s social correspondent. “I’m excited about the opportunity to bring an insider’s look at the show with new behind-the-scenes features, interviews, videos, and insights,” she gushed at the time. “The Wheel of Fortune staff and crew have always been like an extended family, and I’m thrilled to be working with them.” Just for the record, her resume includes more than just working on her father’s show.

At 16, she dropped her debut single, “First Kiss.” However, both of Pat Sajak’s kids share an interest in medicine. In 2013, Maggie told CMT that “Neither one — medicine or country music — is my fall back plan.” Still a teen (many people’s career goals have changed since they were teenagers), she spoke of her plans to focus upon music while she can before pursuing her study of medicine.

His children are both thriving adults. One, a public persona, walking parallel to her father’s footsteps. The other, forging his own path as a doctor. Sajak’s departure from Wheel of Fortune is truly the end of an era. But he had a spectacular run.

Celine Dion’s sickness has taken so much from her, but nothing more devastating than her voice. Her health and battle with stiff person syndrome have kept the pop diva out of the spotlight for years. However, with a new documentary coming out this June documenting her journey, Celine is ready to open up on how difficult life has been for her. Plus, she answers the ever important question: will Celine Dion ever sing again? Canadian singer Celine Dion performs on the opening night of her new world tour “Courage” at the Videotron Centre in Quebec City, Quebec, on September 18, 2019. (Photo by Alice Chiche / AFP) (Photo by ALICE CHICHE/AFP via Getty Images) (Photo by ALICE CHICHE/AFP via Getty Images) Celine Dion Talks Sickness On ‘Today’ Céline Dion was frank with in her first broadcast interview in nearly two years. She revealed in 2022 that she has the rare neurological condition known as stiff person syndrome. Because of that diagnosis, she has stepped back to work on her health. Sitting down with Hoda Kotb for both Today and a primetime special, the Canadian superstar revealed her condition has affected her ability to sing. And it’s worse than anyone can even imagine. “It’s like somebody is strangling you,” Celine said a sneak peek of their conversation. “It’s like somebody is pushing your larynx/pharynx this way.” Celine even goes so far as to demonstrate. She doesn’t sing, but she does fluctuate her voice to demonstrate how it would sound. “It was like talking like that, and you cannot go high or lower,” she explains. “It gets into a spasm.” ‘I Have Broken Ribs’ The spasms Celine experiences can attack different parts of her body, including her abdomen, spine and ribs. They can even be so violent, she has found herself with broken bones. “I have broken ribs at one point because sometimes when it’s very severe, it can break some ribs as well,” the Grammy-winner shared with Hoda. Simply dreadful! Celine Dion speaks onstage during the 66th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 04, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images for The Recording Academy ) How is Celine Dion Doing? “I haven’t beat the disease,” Celine shared in the Vogue interview a few weeks before sitting down with Today. “It’s still within me and always will be. I hope that we’ll find a miracle, a way to cure it with scientific research, but for now I have to learn to live with it.” How she’s learned to live with it will be the focus of her new documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, which will debut on Amazon Prime June 25th. Celine will share more in her full interview with Hoda, which airs June 11 at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.

Pat Sajak must have earned a hefty net worth before retirement, right? It is, truly, the end of an era. Pat Sajak has retired after 41 seasons of Wheel of Fortune. He has been hosting the television staple since 1981. Some television stars become fabulously wealthy. Others are simply comfortable. And still more have to struggle and start side businesses merely to stay afloat. What of the longtime Wheel of Fortune host? “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak speaks as he is inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Broadcasting Hall of Fame during the NAB Achievement in Broadcasting Dinner at Encore Las Vegas on April 9, 2018. (Photo Credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Happy retirement, Pat Sajak! Pat Sajak began hosting Wheel of Fortune in 1981. Since then, he has become a household name, and Wheel of Fortune has become a fixture in popular culture. In June of 2023, Sajak announced his impending retirement — a full year in advance. Friday, June 7, 2024 was Pat Sajak’s last day hosting Wheel of Fortune. He hosted the series long before many of its fans were even born. 41 seasons and 19 Daytime Emmy Award nominations (with three wins) later, he’s stepping down. Pat Sajak and Vanna White attend Harry Friedman being honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 01, 2019. (Photo Credit: David Livingston/Getty Images) Not all television stars are “rich.” The majority of acting work involves playing a random witness on procedural shows like Will Trent and, even with many projects per year, take home average middle class salaries. However, TV hosts — especially those who occupy iconic roles for many years — tend to rake in a good amount of money. That is certainly the case for Pat Sajak. Even so, some net worth estimates vary on just how much of a fortune the Wheel of Fortune host has amassed. Pat Sajak accepts Lifetime Achievement Award onstage during the 38th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards held at the Las Vegas Hilton on June 19, 2011. (Photo Credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Images) What is the net worth of Pat Sajak? According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pat Sajak has an approximate value of around $75 million. Meanwhile, a competing estimate from Money Inc. eyeballs his net wroth to be closer to $65 million. $10 million is an enormous, life-changing amount of money. That said, both of these numbers are sizable enough that it would make little difference in how the average person perceives Sajak’s wealth. Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak on the field before the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Nationals at RFK Stadium May 31, 2007. (Photo Credit: Greg Fiume/Getty Images) Where do these celebrity net worth estimates originate? It’s complex, and involves a lot of educated guesses. Sometimes, they’re way off (especially for character actors who are less famous). Thanks to a 2016 report by Forbes, we know that Sajak was at one time making $15 million per season. That was not, of course, his starting salary — or the one on which he ended things. Back in 2021, both Sajak and the legendary Vanna White extended their Wheel of Fortune contracts through 2024. Sajak received a consulting producer credit — which could signal both a pay raise and, likely, a portion of the series’ syndication pay. Pat Sajak poses for photos in the press room for the television game show “Wheel Of Fortune” at Radio City Music Hall on September 29, 2007. (Photo Credit: Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images) How did Pat Sajak earn his fortune? Some actors film many long days just to produce a few minutes of footage. Luckily, Pat Sajak and Vanna White have enjoyed a much smaller commitment. Filming for Wheel of Fortune only takes about four days per month. These are lengthy days, and each season of Wheel of Fortune boasts a whopping 195 episodes. In other words, they clearly cram a lot of work into one day of shooting. Notably, both Sajak and White are hosts of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, a much more recent invention (it premiered in 2021). Pat Sajak has also done acting over the years. In 1983, he was on Days of Our Lives. Most of the time, however, he has simply played fictionalized versions of himself — on everything from Rugrats to Fresh Off the Boat to 2021’s Muppets Haunted Mansion. But Pat Sajak’s net worth, like his salary, comes from more than just work that he’s put into things. His iconic role made him functionally irreplaceable until he was ready to retire. Becoming a television host who entertains generations is, above all else, a stroke of luck. Which ties into the premise of Wheel of Fortune pretty well, doesn’t it?
