In the wake of an update from from a cause very close to the heart of Kate Middleton, many observers around the globe have been asking themselves in the last 24 hours or so: Could the Princess be close to a return to the spotlight? On Tuesday, the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood published a report that called for businesses to invest more in children’s early years through employee support — including flexible working hours for parents or assistance with childcare.

(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Middleton has been front and center as a spokesperson for this foundation, causing some to believe that the report was paving her way to begin working once again… months after revealing to the world that she has cancer. Alas. “The princess is not expected to return to work until it’s cleared by her medical team,” a Kensington Palace spokesman told the BBC late yesterday, adding of this cause in particular: “Early childhood will continue to be central to her public work.” Princess Charlotte arrives for her first day of school, with her brother Prince George and her parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, at Thomas’s Battersea in London on September 5, 2019 in London, England. (Photo by Aaron Chown – WPA Pool/Getty Images)) Middleton, of course, has been out of the public eye since January, back when she underwent abdominal surgery that later led to the aforementioned cancer diagnosis. Prince William has since shared that his immediate family was “doing well” under the circumstances, having recently made his own return to public duties after taking time off to care for his spouse. In April, the future king met workers at Surplus to Supper, an organization dedicated to redistributing food to communities in need, where he received cards for Kate and his father, King Charles… who is also facing cancer. There’s just a lot going on inside of the United Kingdom these days.

(Getty images) At this point, no one can really say for certain when or where we may see Middleton in public again. But the focus at this point is simply on her health and whatever is best for her personally, along with her three young kids. Following ongoing speculation about her whereabouts and well-being earlier this year, Middleton issued an emotional video statement about her health in March, announcing at the time that she would be undergoing preventive chemotherapy. “This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” Kate said in the emotional footage. “As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. “But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be okay.” Kate Middleton Update: Is the Princess Cleared for Return to Work?!? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

The daughter of Teresa Giudice has been in a car crash. Oh no! After spending most of her life growing up on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Milania Giudice is a young adult. On Bravo and on social media, Milania has her own life, her own story, and sometimes her own drama. Most recently, Milania was in a car crash in her fancy new car. But there are a few silver linings to the story. Teresa Giudice began planning for a dinner with her daughters, Milania and Audriana. (Image Credit: Bravo) (Image Credit: Bravo) Milania Giudice, third daughter of Teresa Giudice, was in a car crash According to a police report that TMZ obtained, Teresa’s daughter Milania Giudice was driving her new Mercedes-Benz convertible. The vehicular collision reportedly occurred in Boonton, New Jersey on Friday, May 17. Milania’s pricey, luxurious vehicle ended up making unwanted contact with another car at an intersection. But which driver is to blame? According to the police report, the drivers did not see eye to eye when it came to the fault for the collision. And no, it doesn’t sound like Milania was driving like a bat out of hell, either. The 18-year-old reality TV personality told police that the other driver had driven despite the stop sign, striking her car in the intersection. (It is unclear if she was T-boned) We do not know the identity of the other driver. However, they asserted that they had come to a complete stop at the stop sign, looked both ways, and then driven through the intersection — only to nonetheless get into a car crash with Milania’s vehicle. Miliana Giudice celebrated her sweet 16 without one of her cousins present, and her mom is still fuming over it. (Image Credit: Bravo) Good news, Teresa! Milania was not at fault for the car crash (according to police) Ultimately, the traffic cops at the scene ended up siding with Milania — and against the other driver. According to the report, the vehicular collision only took place because the other party displayed “inattention and failing to yield to the right of way.” In other words, Milania had right of way, and the stop sign should have prevented the collision. It did not. Her voice cracking, Teresa Giudice tells her brother that she was “good to” him for years. She feels betrayed. (Image Credit: Bravo) And there is more good news. TMZ‘s report also included a statement from the Giudice family’s attorney, James Leonard. Not only did Leonard confirm that Milania did not sustain any injuries during the accident, he also noted: “We are extremely grateful that nobody was hurt. That’s all that matters.” Good! Preventable injuries (like a car crash) are the third leading cause of death in the United States. It’s good to hear that both Milania and the other driver were okay. But there’s some bad news for Milania following the car crash Unfortunately, Milania’s Mercedes-Benz — which was still so new that it has temporary tags — left the car crash scene via tow truck. Just because she’s from a wealthy family doesn’t mean that it doesn’t suck when her expensive belongings take damage. She just has more of a safety net. Shifting back to the positives, Milania recently celebrated her college acceptance. She applied to and received an acceptance letter to the University of Tampa. That’s fantastic news for this high school senior. Teresa Giudice’s Daughter Milania’s Brand-New Mercedes Wrecked in Car Crash was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Someone punched JoJo Siwa in the face as she celebrated turning 21, the young singer announced. Yikes! Spring of 2024 has had its share of highs and lows for JoJo Siwa. JoJo’s single, “Karma,” launched, but also received criticism (and unfavorable comparisons to another verison of the song). And she celebrated her twenty-first birthday. That’s a big deal! But the celebrations apparently included someone attacking her. JoJo Siwa attends “Dance Moms: The Reunion” Premiere Event & Red Carpet at Moxy Hotel on April 25, 2024. (Photo Credit: Bonnie Biess/Getty Images for Lifetime) Happy Birthday, JoJo Siwa! JoJo Siwa was born on May 19, 2003. While the idea that someone born in the 2000s is old enough to drink may feel (understandably) nauseating for many, she turned 21 on Sunday, May 19 of 2024. JoJo’s aim for celebrating this major milestone birthday acknowledged her status as a young adult. Was there drinking? Yes. But she also celebrated at Disney. The newly minted 21-year-old took to TikTok to share the aftermath of what looks like a classic twenty-first birthday. In the video, she appears to stumble around. She’s in a small kitchen. Confetti covers the floor. She’s dressed casually. And the counters behind her boast an array of bottles. “It’s my 21st birthday, I’m drunk as f–k right now,” JoJo tells her fans and followers as the video begins. JoJo reports: ‘I got punched in the eye’ We see JoJo dodging as objects come hurtling towards her from off-camera. Fortunately, as she quickly explains, she’s not being attacked: “It’s my bread I’m supposed to eat.” (Eating food helps reduce the effects of alcohol, to an extent) However, JoJo also shows off what appears to be a shiner beneath her right eye, reporting: “I got punched in the eye, it hurts really bad but I’m okay.” JoJo reassures her unseen companions that she’s okay. Then she turns back to the camera and offers a stage whisper of: “I’m not okay.” She is, seemingly, joking. Another TikTok clip showed JoJo celebrating her birthday at Disney World. Though she and others made use of filters reminiscent of JoJo’s new look from early April, there was no sign of her having been punched in the face. So it remains unclear when that happened. The filter itself refers to one of JoJo’s more dramatic recent looks — from her music video to “Karma.” ‘Karma’ received a mixed reception (sorry JoJo) Though JoJo’s “I got punched” video has an embedded message to remind people to stream “Karma,” it did not receive the warm reception that she wanted. Not from everyone. The song isn’t bad. JoJo’s version of the song isn’t bad. Perhaps the most fair criticism of JoJo’s new single is that it reminds people of Miley Cyrus’ cringe-yet-understandable Can’t Be Tamed era. When we first observed that fact, we had no idea how right we were. Over a dozen years ago, Miley turned down the song, “Karma.” Even though it would have been perfect for her immediate post-Disney persona. Instead, it trickled its way down through the years for JoJo to perform. Not her only link to the Cyrus family. Incidentally, another took up the mantle. Brit Smith performed “Karma.” It’s arguably a better iteration of the song than JoJo produced (even among people who enjoyed JoJo’s version), and is experiencing a bit of a renaissance on streaming charts as people draw the comparison. Music taste is subjective. Regardless, we’re sorry that someone punched JoJo Siwa in the face. Especially on her birthday weekend.

One of Train’s founding members, Charlie Colin, died at age 58 this week and the cause of his death is just upsetting. The musician, who started the successful band alongside OG members Pat Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford and Scott Underwood, passed away after a freak accident while in Brussel, Belgium. 50 ways to say goodbye, but this is just one of the worst. Charlie Colin of Train performs during the VH1 Best Super Bowl Concert Ever at Sugar Mill on February 1, 2013 in New Orleans, Louisiana. ((Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images)) Charlie Colin Cause Of Death: Freak Accident in The Shower According to Charlie’s mother, who spoke to TMZ, the Train founding member was house-sitting for a friend in Brussels, Belgium when it happened. He was taking a shower when slipped and fell. What’s worse, his mother told the outlet that no one found Charlie until his friends returned home from their trip about 5 days ago. Because of that, it’s unclear why or when Charlie fell. We can’t imagine how horrible everyone feels, but even more so, how possible it might’ve been to save Charlie had someone else been in the house. Terrible.

Scheana Shay dropped a surprising bombshell about her controversial castmate Tom Sandoval during Tuesday night’s episode Vanderpump Rules. The second part of the Vanderpump Season 11 reunion saw Scheana accusing all of her male costars of hitting on her. When Sandoval objected, she cited a specific incident in which he appeared to be coming on to her. Tom Sandoval and Scheana Marie attend day two of the 33rd annual Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show on March 27, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Bryan Steffy/Getty Images for Nightclub & Bar Media Group) The demand for details blew up in Tom’s face, as Scheana revealed that he hit on her while he was still in a relationship with former Vanderpump star Kristen Doute. Scheana Shay Says Tom Sandoval Tried to Hook Up With Her During a Trip to New York “One time when we were in New York during the early seasons, we were there for Watch What Happens Live with Jax [Taylor] and Stassi [Schroeder],” Scheana recalled, according to Us. “We went back to his room and raided the minibar, and he was telling me how he and Kristen hadn’t been intimate in so long. I felt like he was coming on to me.” Scheana Shay attends the premiere party for Season 11 of Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules” at the Hollywood Palladium on January 17, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Amanda Edwards/Getty Images) Sandoval claimed that he had no memory of the interaction. When host Andy Cohen asked him how “the sex” was, Sandoval joked: “I woke up with lockjaw and s–t out a condom two weeks later.” Lisa Vanderpump, who was seated next to Tom, did not seem to appreciate the remark. Scheana Marie and Tom Sandoval attend the Firework APP launch at Two Bit Circus on September 13, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Randy Shropshire/Getty Images for Loop Now Technologies) But it served its intended purpose by rescuing Sandoval from having to respond to Scheana’s allegations. Another Scandal For Tom Sandoval? The last thing that Sandoval needs, of course, is another career-damaging controversy. In March of last year, the world learned that Sandoval cheated on Ariana Madix with her close friend Rachel Leviss. Tom and Rachel’s romance has come to an end, but the fallout will likely remain with them for the rest of their lives! (Bravo) The drama that followed came to be known as the Scandoval. And it worked wonders for Vanderpump‘s ratings, which had been on the decline for years. But it didn’t do much for Sandoval’s reputation. In fact, the bar owner and aspiring rock star has been described as the most hated man in reality television. Tom Sandoval attends the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards: UNSCRIPTED at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California and broadcast on June 5, 2022. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for MTV) What’s Next For Vanderpump Rules? Of course, a reality show can’t keep riding the wave of a single scandal forever. Reports that Vanderpump Rules has been canceled appear to be premature. But it seems that fans have grown tired of the Scandoval. Maybe Tom Sandoval and Scheana Shay should hook up just to renew interest in their show!

It may be time to get real when it comes to The Real Housewives of New Jersey. And it also may be time to soon bid the franchise farewell. The latest season of these Teresa Giudice-based series kicked off on May 6 to very little fanfare… with ratings for Episode 3 plummeting to a franchise low. Teresa Giudice appears exasperated in this confessional. (Bravo) The May 20 installment only garnered 699,000 thousands viewers overall, a scant 160,000 of whom comprised the advertiser-friendly demographic of 18-49-year olds. Might America finally be sick of these Garden State residents? In particular, might they have tired of a program that has become about Giudice and, really, Giudice only for multiple years now? Teresa isn’t very likable, and she isn’t very interesting at this point, either. Margaret Josephs on The Real Housewives of New Jersey season 14. (Bravo) The trailer for Season 14 made it clear that the focus, once again, would be on Teresa this spring and summer. The main storyline to date has centered on Teresa’s marriage to Louis Ruelas, a controversial figure who may have “pissed her money away,” according to one cast member via the aforementioned preview. There’s also tension between Margaret Josephs and pals Jenn Fessler and Jackie Goldschneider, the latter two of whom have formed a newfound bond with, you guessed it… Teresa. “That’s who you want to associate yourself with?” Josephs asks Fessler, later referring to Jackie as “Judas” while discussing their rift in a conversation with Joe. “You want to tell Teresa everything you’ve been doing behind her back?” “I’m being friends with whomever I want to be friends with, and I don’t care!” Jackie responds You’re looking at a close-up on Season 14 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. (Bravo) Rachel Fuda also has words with Giudice this season, screaming at her in one scene:” “You’re a f–cking bully, Teresa,” she says. Giudice then fires back: “Don’t poke the f-cking bear.” The response by many viewers here may very well be, “We’re sick of watching this f-cking bear over and over and over after all this time.” Teresa Giudice cries in this trailer for The Real Housewives of New Jersey. (Bravo) Did Bravo make a mistake in bring back ALL of Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral, Fuda, Goldschneider and Fessler for The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14? It’s starting to seem that way. With so many possible changes afoot at Bravo, the better question may now be this: Will we ever see these women on TV ever again after this year?

Did Britney Spears “chase” ex-husband Sam Asghari with an “axe” prior to their divorce? Recently, unknown “insiders” have ramped up a campaign to force Britney Spears into a new conservatorship. The strategy appears to include sabotaging public opinion with alarming, anonymous stories. Even though Sam Asghari has never spoken ill of his ex-wife, someone seems eager to do so. But if this wild tale of an axe-wielding pop star is true, that would be serious and scary. So it’s worth examining. Britney Spears and Sam Asghari arrive at the premiere of Sony Pictures’ “One Upon A Time…In Hollywood” at the Chinese Theatre on July 22, 2019. (Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images) What was the ‘last straw’ in Sam Asghari and Britney Spears’ marriage? Britney Spears and Sam Asghari married on June 9, 2022. It was a joyous event — one only possible after the restoration of her human rights following the abolition of her conservatorship. However, the the couple did not last much longer than a year. In August of 2023, they called it quits. Sam and Britney have finalized their divorce. By all accounts, what might have been a protracted legal battle accompanied by smear campaigns seems to have gone over smoothly. Honoree Britney Spears and Sam Asghari attend the 29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on April 12, 2018. (Photo Credit: Vivien Killilea/Getty Images for GLAAD) According to a new report by In Touch Weekly, an unidentified source claimed that Sam “got the worst” of Britney’s hard-won freedom. “Unfortunately, when she was free of her conservatorship, Sam got the worst of it,” the insider alleged. According to the source: “One of the last straws for Sam, there were many, Britney chased him with an axe.” That is, if true, very alarming! IF that’s true! Britney Spears and Sam Asghari attend the 2019 Daytime Beauty Awards at The Taglyan Complex on September 20, 2019. (Photo Credit: Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images) The report makes it sound like these supposed ‘fights’ were frequent “It was during one of their epic fights,” the insider alleged, implying that they had many. “And,” the source claimed, “Sam couldn’t control her or talk her down.” The insider went on to characterize: “Sam is not a confrontational person and he doesn’t like arguing. There was nothing he could do to calm her down this time.” The source’s wild tale alleged that the altercation was so intense that Sam Asghari had to “leave” their home at the time. “The ‘axe incident’ definitely occurred when she was off her meds,” the insider then claimed. In a sinister twist, the source then asserted that “Talk of another conservatorship makes complete sense.” Britney Spears and boyfriend Sam Asghari arrive for the premiere of Sony Pictures’ “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on July 22, 2019. (Photo Credit: VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images) Is this story about Britney Spears and an ‘axe’ true? Well, it certainly could be. Lots of things could be true. What’s interesting is that not only has Sam Asghari never spoken out against Britney during or following their divorce, but he’s actually defended her against moronic trolls. Some divorce agreements bar people from disparaging an ex, but clapping back at dirtbags on social media seems like something that Sam would do because he wanted to. Obviously, if Sam Asghari came forward and described his ex-wife hunting him with an axe, that would be very serious. But it’s hard for any reasonable person to take an anonymous claim like this seriously. Especially given the transparently obvious attempts to sour public opinion about Britney’s freedom.

Should The Voice be canceled after 25 seasons? It’s up for debate amongst longtime fans who felt this past season was a big Zzzz. Now, to be clear, Season 26 is already full steam ahead. The winner for season 25 was crowned on May 21, and most people were happy with the choice. That said, there’s about to be another shakeup on the judging panel and the folks who are frustrated with the show right now are likely to be even more pissed next season. Is the show on it’s way out? Let’s discuss. The Season 25 panel of coaches on The Voice listen during blind auditions. (Image Credit: NBC) ‘The Voice’ Isn’t Cancelled, But It Can’t Hold On To Judges When Gwen Stefani left The Voice, the hottest of the Jonas Brothers stepped into the coach’s chair. One pop singer filled in for another. But when Niall Horan did his last swivel on the NBC talent show, The Voice replaced the One Direction alum with … a Country music duo. Out the the current coaches, half hail from the same niche music genre. It feels like a different show altogether — and it’s alienating some longtime viewers. Chance the Rapper is not a Country singer. Neither is John Legend. However, Reba McEntire and Dan + Shay (who may be “one” coach, but are certainly two people) are Country singers. Country duo Dan + Shay listen on The Voice Season 25. The two are functioning as a single coach. (Image Credit: NBC) Within hours of Season 25 premiering in late February, fans and viewers of The Voice expressed their disapproval. For example, Reddit denizens voiced criticisms ranging from calls for The Voice to be canceled to hoping that Season 26 is wildly different. “I can’t be the only person annoyed that Country Western (CW) is overshadowing everything. If CW had its own show it would be better,” one redditor prompted. John Legend sits in his iconic swivel chair on The Voice Season 25. (Image Credit: NBC) ‘The Voice’ on the verge of being cancelled by fans “If the music industry picked the winner it would also be better,” the Reddit user continued. “America voting is a train wreck.” Noting the poor judgment of voters, the Redditor pointed out: “Some of the world’s best singers would have been voted off the show. That is ridiculous.” That same Reddit prompt continued: “I usually watch until the voting starts. This year that double team stunt makes the whole thing unwatchable for me.” Reba McEntire remains on The Voice for Season 25. (Image Credit: NBC) “Who thought it was a good idea to have 3 country judges,” one commenter demanded to know. “I absolutely hate country music,” another expressed. “Having the country duo instead of someone different from all the rest is what they should have done. I’m not watching this season.” An additional redditor chimed in: “I haven’t watched it yet maybe today but I have been fearing that. Especially the way the voting went last season.” Chance The Rapper excitedly presses the button on The Voice Season 25. (Image Credit: NBC) ‘The Voice’ Ends On A High Note While things may have started out rocky for the show, by the time the finale rolled around, a lot of the naysayers got on board. A lot of that has to do with the singer who stole hearts and won the competition. Team Reba’s Asher HaVon impressed audiences through the season. The Selma, Alabama native emerged as a frontrunner very early on and kept captivating fans week after week with his smooth vocal and big personality. Singing songs by Beyonce and Whitney Houston, Asher also made history as he became the first openly queer singer to win the show. Perhaps this pleased some of the fans who were hoping for a shakeup? The Season 25 lineup of coaches for The Voice appears in their red chairs. (Image Credit: NBC) Season 26 of ‘The Voice’ Is a GO! Despite the haters and those who think the show has lost it’s edge, the next season of The Voice is underway. However, just like this season, the panel will see a shake up once again. From the current lineup, only Reba is sticking around for another season. Dan + Shay, Chance the Rapper, and John Legend all are out, with the latter insisting he may return down the line. And before you go and call him a liar, it seems to be a tradition now for old judges to make returns to the show. Case in point, while two newcomers will be swiveling into the panel (Hi, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé!), making her triumphant return is Gwen Stefani. How long did she stay away? A year? Two seasons?

It’s a time for reflection for Matt Roloff. Both on a personal and also on a professional level. The father of four explained last month that Little People, Big World was likely done filming — at least when it comes to lengthy, full seasons of the TLC reality show. This revelation didn’t come as a shock to fans, considering Tori and Zach Roloff previously announced they were done with the show. Matt Roloff and Caryn Chandler on air during an episode of Little People, Big World. (TLC) Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in a new interview, meanwhile, Matt reiterated this same basic point… while also taking a moment to look back on multiple decades of being on television. “I’m just thinking about what a journey,” Roloff told this outlet, reportedly with tears in his eyes. “Our family, we love each other…there’s been ups and downs as you can imagine but I think — all in all — I think we’ve accomplished some good things.” Of late, there have been many more downs than ups. Caryn Chandler and Matt Roloff weren’t getting along on Season 25 of Little People, Big World. (TLC) For over two years now, Matt has been in a feud with son Zach over the way the former handled a potential sale of his property in Oregon. In a shocking public call-out back in May 2022, Zach trashed his dad as a manipulating coward, writing of the way in which Matt explained how he arrived at the aforementioned farm sale: “This post is extremely misguided and false. My dad is manipulating the narrative right now before the season comes out,” Zach wrote online at that time. Father and son appear to disagree on whether or not Zach was given a chance to purchase this land prior to it going on sale; and/or on whether his dad was willing to give him any sort of discount. The two haven’t really spoken much since then. Speaking on Season 25 of Little People, Big World, Matt Roloff worries about missing time with his grandkids. (Image Credit: TLC) On his final episode of Little People, Big World Zach said of his relationship with his dad: “That ship’s all sailed. There’s not much of a relationship. It’s just doing our own thing. Time might even it out, but everything will be healed, it’ll just be different.” Matt, for his part, told ET that he hopes “time heals all wounds” and that a reconciliation can still be reached. But it will happen off air if it ever happens at all. On the Season 25 finale of Little People, Big World, Zach Roloff describes where things stand with his father. (Image Credit: TLC) “We are done. That part of our lives, that chapter has closed,” Tori said this spring of she and her husband walking away from the program that made them famous. Matt sounds like he feels the same way. “I feel very secure in what we’ve put on air — so the idea of not doing any more TV at all sounds fine by me,” he just told ET. “400 episodes or something, you kind of feel like you’ve done it [all], so if there comes a circumstance where we feel like we need to share more, [if] the opportunity comes up, maybe.” TLC has not yet made any announcements — in either direction — when it comes to the future of the series. Amy Roloff, Matt Roloff in season 25 of Little People, Big World. (TLC) But it has served an important purpose, Matt Roloff concludes. “I think Little People, Big World has really laid out a pretty incredible legacy in terms of society’s perception of little people,” he told TLC, adding that should they get another season, he has some ideas on where things could go. “I’m super content with where it’s at right now and how we wrapped up and if it goes on more, there’s more story to tell, great. “But if there’s no more story to tell, I mean TV today is very, you know, there’s a lot of channels with a lot of content.” Matt Roloff: I’m Cool If Little People, Big World Is Over! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

A model by the name of Crystal McKinney has filed a lawsuit in which she claims that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Diddy. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, McKinney claims that Diddy forced her to perform oral sex on him in 2003. McKinney was just 22 at the time of the alleged attack. She says that Diddy lured her with promises of career advancement. Sean Combs attends the ‘Killing Them Softly’ Premiere during 65th Annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 22, 2012 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) McKinney says she met Diddy at a Men’s Fashion Week event in New York City. He allegedly invited her to his studio, where she arrived to find several men drinking and passing around a joint. Diddy Accused of Drugging Crystal McKinney Sean “Diddy” Combs attends TimesTalks Presents: An Evening with Sean “Diddy” Combs at The New School on September 20, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) McKinney says she took a hit from the joint and found it to be “very powerful.” She later realized, the suit claims, that it had been laced with some sort of potent narcotic. McKinney experienced a “floating” sensation and found herself in a bathroom. It was there, she says, that Diddy forced himself on her.

(Photo by Samir Hussein/Getty Images for Sean Diddy Combs) McKinney Accuses Diddy of Sexual Assault According to the suit filed by McKinney, Diddy commanded her to “suck it.” When she refused, he allegedly forced her to perform oral sex. McKinney says she lost consciousness shortly thereafter and woke up in a taxi. She says that she was then blackballed from the modeling industry. That turn of events prompted her to attempt suicide in 2004. Sean “Diddy” Combs speaks during the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Legislative Conference National Town Hall on September 21, 2023 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Jemal Countess/Getty Images for Congressional Black Caucus Foundation) According to McKinney’s legal docs, after learning of lawsuits filed by Cassie and other accusers she “knew she had a moral obligation to speak up.” More Trouble For Diddy News of McKinney’s lawsuit comes at a very bad time for the embattled mogul. It follows the release of shocking footage in which Diddy is seen assaulting then-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel hallway. In a recent Instagram video, Diddy begged his fans for forgiveness. But at no point did he offer an apology to Cassie. Diddy performs at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in a special one night only event at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on November 07, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Samir Hussein/Getty Images for Sean Diddy Combs) Diddy and his legal team have yet to publicly respond to McKinney’s allegations. Obviously, it’s much too soon to predict what will happen if the case goes to trial. But the accusations against Diddy continue to pile up. And it’s tough to imagine that the music legend has much of a career ahead of him. In addition to the suits filed by Cassie and McKinney, a former employee named Rodney Jones has accused Diddy of sexual assault. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Janelle Brown suffered through another unwanted first this month. A couple weeks ago, the veteran Sister Wives star acknowledged her 55th birthday… but she did so in solemn fashion due to the absence of son Garrison. The 25-year old committed suicide about two months before this occasion. Janelle Brown looks very sad in this confessional on Sister Wives. (TLC) This past Monday, meanwhile, Janelle shared a photo of a homemade pie on Instagram — and then launched into an explanation behind why this dessert item made her sad. “Mother’s Day was surprisingly emotional for me. It just never has been a big holiday for me,” Janelle wrote as a caption to this image. “My children have always shown up for me and made me feel special everyday. Especially since they became independent adults and weren’t home all the time.” Janelle and Kody Brown are parents to six children. In addition to Garrison, the exes are also the parents to Logan, 29, Madison, 27, Hunter, 27, Gabriel, 22, and Savannah, 19. On May 20, Janelle wrote how this year, Mother’s Day felt “different,” continuing as follows: “All weekend I felt the grief so close to the surface. “And it was especially poignant when I made this simple pie. Our strawberry picking excursion combined with the fact that I randomly found rhubarb at the local farmers market made it feel like this pie was destined.” Back on May 16, Garrison’s cause of death was revealed by an autopsy report. Yes, he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. But this document also confirmed that Garrison’s blood alcohol level was .307% and that alcohol poisoning played a role in his passing. Janelle Brown is featured here on the Sister Wives tell-all special. (Image Credit: TLC) Concluded Janelle in her latest, heart-shattering post: Strawberry Rhubarb is a huge favorite at our house and maybe no one loved it more than Garrison. And that made this pie a little bitter sweet. I love you honey and miss you every day. It’s all just so very, VERY sad. Janelle Brown gets deep in this scene from Sister Wives. (Image Credit: TLC) Janelle and Kody released a joint statement the day after their son was found dead: “Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. “We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory,” the message read. Ever since, Janelle and other Brown family members have paid tribute to Garrison via social media and other platforms. Janelle Brown has something to say in this Season 18 confessional. (TLC) On April 10, for example, Garrison would have turned 26 years old. “Happy Birthday Sweetheart,” his mom wrote alongside a compilation video featuring clips and photos of her late son on his past birthdays. “We are missing you terribly today. It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore. We talked a lot about you today and even went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (your favorite place). I still feel you nearby sometimes. “And I’m grateful we will see each other again when my journey is completed.” Janelle Brown to Late Son: I Miss You. I Love You. ALWAYS. was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Taylor Swift joining the MCU could certainly dazzle audiences. While Taylor Swift continues to tour and delight audiences, fans continue to wonder if she will expand her horizons. One particular rumor continues to tantalize audiences. Even critics of the idea find it intriguing. Could Taylor Swift join the MCU? One particular, not-yet-seen Marvel Cinematic Universe character comes to mind. Taylor Swift arrives for the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California, on January 7, 2024. (Photo Credit: MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) Is Taylor Swift joining the MCU? Taylor Swift is a powerhouse. She is a recently minted billionaire, and nothing that she does can avoid major headlines. And if she joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she would get to put her acting chops on display. (Remember, Taylor has acted on screen before) Taylor wouldn’t be the first famous singer to join the MCU. Her ex-boyfriend, Harry Styles, actually plays Eros, as people who have watched the criminally underrated Eternals will recall. Taylor Swift attends the 66th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 04, 2024. (Photo Credit: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) Which Marvel character would Taylor play in the MCU? Obviously, Marvel comics includes thousands upon thousands of characters. Some are very well-known. Others are relatively obscure. Dazzler may be an unfamiliar name to normies, but she’s a very well-known Marvel character. Specifically, from X-Men. While there’s more to share about Dazzler in a moment, we should note that fans (and perhaps studios) have been connecting Taylor with Dazzler for nearly a decade. This idea has been around since 2016 X-Men: Apocalypse came out in May of 2016. That film was largely a disappointment to fans of, let’s face it, Marvel’s best line of comics. But the film also included an easter egg: a Dazzler album cover in which the mutant character appeared to resemble Taylor Swift. A lot has changed since then. Disney’s acquisition of Fox was a horror for countless writers, actors, and others. It may be one of the final death blows to the entertainment industry as we know it. But it did get X-Men and related Marvel properties back under the shared Marvel umbrella where they belong. (A silver lining, but so not worth it) Now, the idea of Taylor playing Dazzler has resurfaced. This time, she could play the mutant as the MCU continues to unveil more X-Men characters. Could Dazzler show up in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ in July 2024? Taylor Swift is longtime friends with Ryan Reynolds, who plays the titular Deadpool in Deadpool and Wolverine. The character’s name is Wade Wilson, he’s a little zany and a lot R-rated, and he’s buddying up with the most recognizable X-Men character: Wolverine. This film will feature Cassandra Nova as a primary antagonist. Cassandra Nova, in comics, is Professor X’s (literal) evil twin. In the womb, Charles Xavier sensed her evil and strangled her, but she somehow returned. In comics, she instigated a Sentinel attack against Genosha, resulting in the slaughter of millions of mutants. (She’s also how Emma Frost gained her iconic secondary mutation, her organic diamond form). It’s good that Cassandra Nova is appearing in a Deadpool film rather than in something more serious. She’s not a fan-favorite villain, despite her importance in several (Earth-616) comics storylines. But her presence, and Wolverine’s, and those of other mutants suggests the possibility that others — like Dazzler — could appear. Taylor Swift attends the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton on January 07, 2024. (Photo Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Taylor Swift has more ties to ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ than just Ryan Reynolds During one of Taylor Swift’s numerous visits to Kansas City Chiefs games to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play football, she brought not only Ryan Reynolds but also Shawn Levy. Levy is the Deadpool and Wolverine director, and his presence raised both eyebrows and questions. Levy wisely evaded questions about Taylor Swift or the MCU when people asked, noting: “I’m no dummy.” Smart! However, comics blogger Daniel Richtman reported that Taylor had a “good meeting with Kevin Feige, and they are discussing a role in the MCU.” Looks like Taylor Swift MIGHT be gearing up to be the MCU's Dazzler! According to Daniel Richtman (@DanielRPK), Taylor Swift and Kevin Feige have had a meeting about a role in the MCU! Our best bet is that this role would be Dazzler. She's LITERALLY born to play that role!… pic.twitter.com/Xl1t4b8Rpc — Small Screen (@SmallScreenCo) May 21, 2024 Who is Dazzler anyway? Dazzler is a mutant from Marvel’s X-Men comics. She has the ability to convert sound — from ambient noises to music blasting from speakers to her own voice — into various types of energy. Sometimes, she does this to emit concussive waves, energy shields, or even (less frequently) energy constructs. Most often, people recognize Dazzler as a comics-universe music star. Sometimes, a pop singer, other times, punk. Either way, when she performs, she really puts on a show. On X-Men ’97 Season 1, Episode 5, Dazzler appears in Genosha, entertaining her fellow mutants without fear of reprisal from baseline humans for displaying her abilities. (Image Credit: Disney+) What would Dazzler’s role be in the MCU? Truth be told, Dazzler is only sometimes a participant in mutant-related adventures. Often, she has a cameo appearance in comics or on animated projects. We most often see her putting on a performance … since that is her job. The MCU is massive, yet only has room for so many characters. It is likely that, whether Taylor joins the MCU to play Dazzler or someone else portrays her, her appearance will be for select scenes, or even in the background — entertaining a crowd. Dazzler sometimes functions as a symbol — showing groups of non-mutants who accept a mutant pop star, or indicating spaces (like Genosha or Krakoa) where mutants are free to use their gifts in public without fear of arrest or murder by baseline humans. On X-Men ’97, Dazzler is one of multiple mutants entertaining a crowd on Genosha. The crowd here includes Rogue, Boom Boom, and others. Many of these mutant would later die during the Sentinel attack. (Image Credit: Disney+) Would Taylor Swift be a good fit as Dazzler? Taylor Swift is an actress with a growing filmography. Cats is the most famous example of her acting, but perhaps not the most universally beloved. If Dazzler appears in the MCU in a small role and Taylor portrays her, it’s possible that people could complain. Critics could draw comparisons to Ed Sheeran in Game of Thrones, while fans could say that Disney has wasted her talents. Truth be told … groups of people will complain about any famous choice. That doesn’t always make it a bad one. Taylor Swift Joining the MCU: The Clues, The Rumors, & The Character Perfect For Her was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Is Kendall Jenner pregnant? This question and related speculation has cropped up over the years. Particularly amidst her relationship with Bad Bunny. Since Kylie and Khloe and Rob became parents in short order, fans have wondered when the last childfree sibling will churn out a grandbaby for Kris Jenner. Kendall has actually addressed this — more than once. Take a look: On a 2022 episode of The Kardashians, Kendall Jenner sits down with her famous mom to chat. (Image Credit: Hulu) All of Kris Jenner’s kids have kids, except for Kendall In general, we don’t tend to think of the Kardashian family as particularly “relatable.” It’s not just that they’re all rich and famous. They were born into monumental wealth. However, to a limited extent, Kendall Jenner is more relatable to many of her fellow Millennials than many of her siblings. It’s not that everyone relates because she’s a supermodel. But Kendall has debilitating anxiety and is the only one of her Kar-Jenner siblings to remain blissfully childfree. But maybe that’s about to change? Speaking to the confessional camera on The Kardashians, Kendall Jenner shares her thoughts. (Image Credit: Hulu) Kendall Jenner is ‘enjoying my kidless freedom’ in May 2024 For Kendall Jenner’s July/July 2024 Vogue cover story, she addressed her childfree status. “When I was young, I used to say that by 27 I’d love to have kids,” she remarked. Anecdotally, 27 seems to have been a common “having kids” age goal for Millennials when they were younger. “Now I’m past that and I feel like I’m still so young,” Kendall said accurately. “I’m enjoying my kidless freedom.” Repping her tequila brand on The Kardashians, Kendall Jenner does what her family does best: sitting on neutral toned furniture and discussing where things stand. (Image Credit: Hulu) Kendall Jenner quashes pregnancy rumors in December 2023 In early December of 2023, Kendall Jenner took to Instagram to share a series of photos. The pics show her with wine, including holding a wineglass. Her caption reads: “me and my wine again.” Alcohol consumption during pregnancy can cause dire consequences, including Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Kylie faking taking a shot was one of the first public hints of her second pregnancy. In other words, Kendall was dispelling pregnancy rumors. The idea of a pregnant Kendall Jenner has come up on ‘The Kardashians’ In 2023, on Season 4 of The Kardashians, a producer playfully asked Kendall how her “pregnancy” was going. Kendall was not pregnant. That was the joke. It was nice to hear Kendall get to discuss something other than her anxiety, however. During Season 2 of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Kris strongly encouraged Kendall to at least freeze her eggs. To a pushy degree. Looking beautiful as always, Kendall Jenner addresses the confessional camera on The Kardashians. (Image Credit: Hulu) Kendall Jenner said more on the subject during Season 2 After Kris’ “encouragement,” Kendall addressed her mother’s enduring grandbaby fever with a very mature, reasonable statement to the confessional camera. “I still have a lot to figure out before I can welcome a child into my life,” Kendall reasoned. “I’m still enjoying life on my own,” she affirmed. “And I’m okay with that right now.” Good for her! On The Kardashians, the family has some tensions and laughs while in the car on vacation. (Image Credit: Hulu) Watching her siblings become parents helped Kendall understand what parenthood means “Although I love my entire family — I love my nieces and nephews — this is definitely a massive birth control moment for me,” Kendall shared on The Kardashians Season 2, which aired late in the summer of 2022. She explained: “Just because it is a lot.” Kendall was specifically referring to Kylie’s second pregnancy. It is often eldest siblings who first realize that parenting is a tremendous, life-altering responsibility. Kendall has the clarity to see this even as one of the family’s youngest. It’s allowed her to make careful, cautious decisions while living her best life. Kendall can always become pregnant when she’s good and ready, if such a time arrives.

Adria Arjona used to have a husband; now she has an Aquaman! It’s been a few years since Jason Momoa‘s marriage to Lisa Bonet married and his fans wondered who would step in to steal his heart next. In May 2024, Adira Arjona entered the chat, with Jason and the actress going Instagram official with their relationship after a trip to Japan. But Jason isn’t the only one with a past. Adria had a husband once, and not too long ago, in fact. And he couldn’t be more different from Jason! Adria Arjona attends Netflix’s Austin premiere of “Hit Man” at The Paramount Theatre on May 15, 2024 in Austin, Texas. ((Photo by Rick Kern/Getty Images for Netflix)) Adria Arjona Had A Husband Until Last Year Like Jason, Adria Arjona was previously married. She tied the knot with lawyer Edgardo Canales in 2019 in Antigua, Guatemala. Their relationship was kept very private, as Adria has been quietly become a rising star just herself over the last five years. The Puerto Rican starlet , whose father is internationally renowned singer and songwriter Ricardo Arjona, got her breakout role playing Dorothy Gale on the Oz book adaptation Emerald City in 2017. However, it wasn’t until she started getting bigger roles in blockbusters like Morbius, Good Omens and Andor that people started to notice. As her star rose, so did the high-profile invites. In 2020, she attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party with her husband. But that’s when things start to get a bit harder to piece together.

((Photo by Araya Diaz/Getty Images for Victorino Noval )) Her Divorce From Husband Edgardo Canales As the pair kept their relationship incredibly private, it’s unclear when exactly things ended. Several outlets list 2023 as the year their marriage ended, but their no documentation to confirm the date. We can say that in looking back at her Instagram, any posts from her wedding and Edgardo have been deleted. As for her new man, Jason Momoa became a free agent in January 2024, when his divorce from wife Lisa Bonet was finalized. The couple had split a few years prior though, so Jason moving on isn’t that much of a shock. Speaking of which… The megstar attends the “Aquaman” photocall on December 11, 2023 in London, England.

Kathryn Dennis is in pretty big trouble with the law. The former Southern Charm cast member was arrested on Monday night in South Carolina and charged with driving under the influence…. after getting stopped by the Goose Creek Police Department in the town of Berkeley. The 32-year old was issued a ticket and booked by local authorities, multiple sources now confirm, after she was involved in a three-car collision. Kathryn Dennis sits down here for an interview on Bravo. (Bravo) In documents obtained by TMZ, a responding officer described the reality star’s alleged state at the accident scene as appearing impaired with “glossy eyes and an odor of alcohol coming from her person.” She’s also believed to have had an open container with there in her vehicle. OOPS! Dennis has been charged with a DUI for the transport of alcohol that had been opened and is due to appear for a hearing in court on June 4. Kathryn Dennis looks a tad bit disgusted in this photo. (Bravo) From what we can gather, this is Dennis’ first arrest for drinking and driving. However, she was reportedly at the center of a hit and run last October. A few months prior to this incident (for which Dennis was not charged), Dennis lost custody of her children to ex Thomas Ravenel after she failed numerous drug tests. Back in December 2020, Ravenel claimed that Dennis drank while pregnant, giving their son fetal alcohol syndrome. The two have been on ugly terms, lobbing insults back and forth at each other, for many years. Mere days before her DUI arrest on May 20, Dennis — who left Southern Charm after eight seasons in January 2023 — was with her son, Saint, who she shares Ravenel, and she wrote the following on Instagram about him at the time: “When your kiddo nails a touchdown and busts out the Madden victory dance. Proud mom with my little champ and his biggest fans.” Kathryn Dennis as a guest on Watch What Happens Live. (Bravo) Despite her legal troubles and apparent substance abuse issues, Dennis remained a core regular on Southern Charm until January 2023 when she announced that she was leaving the Bravo series after a polarizing run. “What a wild ride it’s been!” she told People Magazine in a statement at the time. “Can you believe I was 21 when I first started filming Southern Charm, back in its first season? That was in 2013, and in the decade that followed, it’s safe to say my life changed in ways I could never imagine. “It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m so lucky to have had reality cameras there, capturing so many moments that I’ll never forget (and a few, even, that I’d like to).” She concluded: “Through it all, the love y’all have shown for me not only gave me the strength I needed to tackle it all, but helped me realize that I wasn’t alone. I’m so grateful. “I’ll be carrying that love with me as I enter this next chapter of my life, away from the Southern Charm lens. I’m thankful for Bravo, the producers at Haymaker and my Charleston cast mates for everything.” Kathryn Dennis Arrested for DUI in Wake of 3-Car Crash was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Did Kim Kardashian just bring Travis Kelce into her feud with Taylor Swift? If so, was it to end it or make things worse? Early in May, news broke that Travis Kelce landed his first acting gig. Given that he’s famous in the sports world and even more famous through his relationship, that is no surprise. What is a surprise is how that acting job came to be. Rumor has it, Kim Kardashian was the one who made it happen. Is this an olive branch towards Taylor … or is Kim flaunting her influence to reignite their longstanding feud? On The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian addresses the confessional camera. (Image Credit: Hulu) Did Kim Kardashian ‘help’ Travis Kelce land his acting gig? Travis Kelce has scored a major role in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming new series, Grotesquerie. Famously, Kim Kardashian starred on a recent Murphy project, American Horror Story: Delicate. According to a report by The Mirror, Kim may have played a role in his casting. Travis Kelce interacts with the crowd during Kelce Jam 2024 at Azura Amphitheater on May 18, 2024. (Photo Credit: Fernando Leon/Getty Images) At this point, the idea that Kim Kardashian put in a good word for Travis Kelce for Grotesquerie is pure speculation. Yes, she and Ryan Murphy collaborated in the past. But it’s hardly confirmed, and there are many good reasons for which Travis could have landed this role without Kim’s finger on the scale. But, if Kim did whisper in Ryan Murphy’s ear to make this happen, one question remains: why? Kim Kardashian portrays a character named Siobhan on American Horror Story: Delicate. (Image Credit: FX) Is this Kim Kardashian’s latest salvo at Taylor Swift? “Kill ‘Em With Kindness” isn’t just the name of one of Selena Gomez’s greatest songs (which is a very tall order). It’s also a philosophy. The idea being that you become the “bigger person” by doing acts of kindness, for your enemy or their friends. To be blunt, these acts of “kindness” do not always have good intentions. Appearing magnanimous is often a power play — flaunting influence and good manners. Travis Kelce walks the red carpet during Kelce Jam 2024. (Photo Credit: Fernando Leon/Getty Images for Raising Cane’s) Remember, in 2016, Kanye West referred to Taylor Swift as a “bitch” in one of his songs. Taylor felt less than thrilled. Kim, at the time still devoted to her ill-behaved husband, shared a conspicuously edited series of audio recordings in an attempt to make Taylor seem disingenuous. Between that, overexposure, and other factors, Taylor ended up taking a break from the limelight for a while, disappearing into her Joe Alwyn romance. Kim’s calculated blow was a major setback for Taylor. Pairing platinum tresses with black roots, Kim Kardashian speaks to the Season 3 confessional camera on The Kardashians. (Photo Credit: Hulu) Is Kim Kardashian extending an olive branch to Taylor Swift? Maybe Kim isn’t trying to get under Taylor’s skin. Maybe she’s just … doing something nice because she’s no longer waging wars on behalf of her terrible ex-husband. Earlier this year, the internet expressed shock at the sight of Katy Perry singing “Bad Blood.” (If you’re not familiar with the significance of that, imagine seeing Warren Beatty in Carly Simon’s audience, lipsyncing to “You’re So Vain”) It’s possible that Kim Kardashian is using Travis Kelce in a longtime Taylor Swift feud. Especially after Taylor’s last album shaded her. But that’s not the only explanation, or even the most likely.

Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman, is welcoming her daughter Paige back to the ranch full-time! The 24-year-old, who studied at the University of Arkansas, has been out in the world on her own since school ended. But now, like so many 20-somethings out there who are struggling to find jobs that will pay for decent rent (forget about buying a house!), she’s returned home to roost. And perhaps start the task of taking over the family business? Pioneer Woman’s Daughter Paige, 24, Moves Back Home Turns out, Ree Drummond’s second oldest daughter has been back home for a few months now, helping her parents, including dad Ladd Drummond, tend to their ranch in Pawhuska, Okla. “Paige came home in January to work on the ranch full-time,” Ree shared in a blog post on May 20. While she had been hinting on social media that Paige was back with the family, she did not confirm it until the springtime. “She’s getting more and more experience in every aspect of ranching, from sorting cattle to weaning calves to fixing fence and water gaps to building salt boxes and a long list of other have-to chores,” she wrote of Paige working at the Drummond Ranch. However, while the world outside the ranch pushed her back home, it doesn’t mean that home life is glamorous! “She’s getting banged up, scratched, bruised, and clobbered… and time will tell if she’s in this for the long haul! Ladd is loving having her home. (Psst. I am, too!)” Ree added. The Pioneer Womanb and her husband Ladd Drummond pose for a photo during The Pioneer Woman Magazine Celebration with Ree Drummond at The Mason Jar on June 6, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images for The Pioneer Woman Magazine) Ree Drummond’s Five Kids The Pioneer Woman looks after five, incredible kids, even though most are grown. Paige has an older sister, Alex, who tied the knot on May 21, 2021, at the Drummonds’ Oklahoma ranch. She also works with her mom, helping film her Food Network show, and working remotely on photoshoots for merchandise and marketing for the Pioneer Woman. The girls have three brothers. Bryce Drummond, 21, is still at school and plays football for the University Of North Texas. Todd Drummond, 19, is the youngest Drummond kid. He also is in college and plays football for the University of South Dakota. In 2018, the family grew once more with the addition of a foster son, Jamar. “After a year-and-a-half of living in our house, he is an inextricable part of our wacky family,” Ree wrote for The Pioneer Woman in November 2020. Jamar is the same age as Todd and is currently studying at the University of Central Oklahoma. As you might’ve guessed, he also plays football! Life on the Ranch With Alex married with her own home and the boys all away at school, Paige is the only Drummond sibling living and working full-time with her parents. Her return to ranch life has been documented for Ree’s Food Network show, The Pioneer Woman. In a clip shared on Instagram, Paige is seen carrying out her morning work duties – all with a smile on her face! “Feeding is one of my favorite things to do because you’re really just getting up and getting in your truck and driving around and the sunrises are really pretty,” Paige shared. “So I honestly really enjoy feeding. It’s just fun, and it’s honestly kind of peaceful.” Here’s hoping she continues to love the job she’s got!

Who is Khloe Kardashian’s real dad? It’s a question that shouldn’t require much debate. After all, for her entire life, Khloe has maintained that her father is the late Robert Kardashian Sr., who is also dad to her sisters, Kourtney and Kim. Khloe Kardashian attends Allergan KYBELLA event at IAC Building on March 3, 2016 in New York City. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for Allergan) But many social media users think Khloe is either lying, or has been misled herself. They point out that Khloe is much taller than her sisters and doesn’t resemble Kim and Kourtney nearly as much as those two resemble each other. (The difference in bone structure is less evident these days, due to the fact that Khloe has had cosmetic work done.) Following the death of O.J Simpson and the start of the new season of The Kardashians on Hulu May 23, let’s look at what’s been theorized, hypothesized, and refutably confirmed on this topic. Khloe Kardashian attends The 2022 Met Gala Celebrating “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 02, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) The Identity of Khloe Kardashian’s Real Dad Has Long Been a Subject of Debate Questions regarding Khloe’s paternity date back at least to 2021. That’s when Kris Jenner published a memoir in which she admitted to having an affair during her marriage to Robert. Shortly thereafter, Robert’s second wife told Star magazine (via Fox News) that her late husband once admitted that Khloe was not his daughter. “He just kind of looked at me and said [it] like it was a matter of fact,” Jan Ashley recalled. Khloe Kardashian attends the PrettyLittleThing LA Office Opening Party on February 20, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images) “He said, ‘Well, you know that Khloe’s not really a Kardashian, don’t you? And I said … ‘OK,’ and that was it.” On a 2012 episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kris encouraged Khloe to take a DNA test, insisting that it was something she “needs in order to feel complete.” “My dad is Robert Kardashian. My other dad is [Caitlyn] Jenner,” Khloe shot back. “I don’t need someone to tell me who my family is. I’ve had the blessing of having two phenomenal fathers. I don’t need a DNA test to prove who my father is.” Khloe Kardashian attends The 2022 Met Gala Celebrating “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 02, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) Is O.J. Simpson Khloe’s Real Father? O.J. Simpson was close friends with Robert, and for years, it’s been rumored that he had an affair with Kris. Those rumors resurfaced following Simpson’s death in April. Simpson, however, repeatedly denied the rumors of an affair with Kris. “The rumor ain’t true. It’s not even anywhere close to being true,” he said during an appearance on the “Full Send” podcast in 2022, according to Newsweek. O.J. Simpson appears in District Court during his trial at the Clark County Regional Justice Center September 26, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Steve Marcus-Pool/Getty Images) The controversial football legend admitted to being attracted to Kris, saying: “I always thought Kris was a cute girl. She was really nice. But, you know, I was dating supermodels!” Is Alex Roldan Khloe’s Real Father? Another name that’s often mentioned in connection with Khloe’s paternity is that of Alex Roldan. Khloe Kardashian attends the CFDA Fashion Awards at Casa Cipriani on November 07, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) Roldan is Kris Jenner’s former hairdresser. As E! News reports, several members of the Kardashian clan have joked about the possibility that Roldan is Khloe’s father. But no one in Khloe’s family seems to take the allegations too seriously. And since Khloe seems to be in no hurry to get to the bottom of this mystery, we might just have to accept that it will remain forever unsolved.

Here’s the thing, celebrity gossip fans: IF Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are working on their marriage? IF they wanted to put an end to the rumors that they were headed for a divorce? We’re pretty sure they’d be trying a lot harder. Jennifer Lopez attends the premiere of Netflix’s “ATLAS” at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on May 20, 2024 in Los Angeles. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Netflix) Case in point: Lopez stepped out on Monday night at the premiere of her new Netflix movie, Atlas, which was held at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. As you can see above and below, however, she did so alone. Ben Affleck was nowhere in sight. It’s hard not to therefore think all this divorce chatter is pretty darn real, considering the couple couldn’t even pretend to be on good terms for such a public event, you know? Jennifer Lopez was without her estranged husband at this premiere. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Netflix) It is worth noting that Lopez was wearing her wedding ring in the photos. It’s also worth noting, though, that she and Affleck went 47 days without being photographed together until they attended a school play that featured one of his sons last week. “They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention,” one insider recently told People Magazine, adding: “Ben hates all attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach.” Simu Liu, Jennifer Lopez and Sterling K. Brown attend the Premiere For Netflix’s “Atlas” at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on May 20, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) It’s far more than just that, according to In Touch Weekly. The tabloid recently said straight out that Lopez was going to file for divorce; it reported that such a move was “imminent” and that she had hired a divorce lawyer. “The writing is on the wall – it’s over,” a source said on May 15 to In Touch. “They’re headed for a divorce – and for once, [Ben’s] not to blame!” Lopez, for the record, also attended the famous MET Gala in New York City by herself this month.

On the red carpet of this new premiere, Lopez was asked by a reporter: “Who is one person or one thing you can always trust in?” “One thing you can always trust in?” she replied. “Oh, God — family.” She was then asked about her “next act” and only responded with information about her professional life; nothing personal at all. “I have a tour coming up in the summer, a couple of movies coming out next year, so I’m excited,” she said. “It’s just, like, a great time.” Jennifer Lopez Dazzles at Movie Premiere.

Britney Spears’ still dating a criminal and reportedly is suffering a breakdown. New reports are coming in daily, suggesting that the pop princess is spiraling back to her early 00’s, pre-conservatorship behavior and that those close to her is concerned. But Britney says she just fine and that haters are just going to, well, hate. So, what’s the truth? Is this new man in her life a problem? Is Britney suffering again? And is reinstating her conservatorship the right course of action. Britney Spears arrives for the premiere of Sony Pictures’ “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on July 22, 2019.. (Photo Credit: VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images)) Britney Spears’s Boyfriend: Is She Still Dating Paul Richard Soliz? Following her split with ex-husband Sam Asghari, fans were excited to see Britney embrace her singledom. But no sooner was she a single lady than there were reports that she was hooking up with someone new. For weeks, there were conflicting reports alleging that Britney was dating a somewhat random man who had a string of criminal offenses behind him. In February, on Instagram, Britney appeared to be counter rumors that she was dating Paul Richard Soliz. After post another (bizarrely controversial) Britney Spears dancing video, she wrote a caption that signaled she was on her own. Alongside a string of emojis, Britney wrote: “Beautiful Sunday Hopeless, romantic understanding that being single is awesome !!!” However, it became clear soon after that, despite what she said, she was still very much involved with him. In February of 2024, Britney Spears posted to her Instagram caption about being “single.” She was, one assumes, quashing relationship rumors. (Image Credit: Instagram) Paul Richard Soliz: Britney’s Controversial New Man Is A Criminal Us Weekly was the first to report, just days before Britney’s post that she was in fact still dating Soliz. Britney’s love life has always been a topic of conversation, but her hookup with Soliz immediately worried people. Why is the alleged relationship controversial? Well, Soliz worked as Britney’s housekeeper; he reportedly would “clean toilets, mop floors, and pick up trash.” Soliz is also a convicted felon. According to arrest records, Soliz has been charged for multiple misdemeanors, including disturbing the peace, child endangerment and driving without a license. In December 2020, Soliz was arrested for possession of a firearm by a felon and unlawful possession of ammunition While we can all understand that very good people can break laws and very bad people can operate within the law, it does raise both eyebrows and questions. Also, it’s worth noting that Britney has a whole song about being “in love with a criminal.” Which … seems a little on the nose, especially for a song that’s a dozen years old, but it’s interesting that art is imitating life.

If there was any doubt that Britney was still involved with Soliz, they were dashed three months later. Britney and her boyfriend were involved in a fight at Chateau Marmont in early May 2024 that not only saw the two of them together, but also became the catalyst for increased concerns about the pop princess. The pair had two run-ins with the law that night. The first, while partying and drinking in the hotel lobby, the police were called over accusations that Britney was harassing and threatening hotel employees and guests. The situation was deescalated and the couple returned to their hotel room. But several hours later, the police were called back, this time with paramedics in tow. The couple reportedly got into a fight that turned physical, with Britney’s leg getting cut. Photos from the seen saw the singer leaving the hotel covered in a sheet and pillow, wearing nothing but tiny shorts underneath. She even cam out barefoot. While the incident confirmed the continued role Soliz played in her life, it also sent up red flags about how Britney is doing years after the end of her conservatorship.

According to a TMZ insider, there’s a growing feeling that Soliz is exploiting Britney. Following the hotel incident, it was reported that “thousands” of dollars had been paid to the Chateau to pay for the damages. But was that move made by Britney or Soliz? This insider believes that Soliz has seized control of Britney’s life and finances. Is this started to feel like the Adnan Ghalib era to anyone else? Apparently not to Britney, who continually posts on social media that she’s fine and that’s she’s being set up to “look bad”.

Well, that’s hard to say at the moment. As it stands, fans are continually worried about her safety, given the state of things. But it’s not just her relationship with a criminal that has them worried. Britneyu faces “grave danger” as her mental health and alleged substance abuse issues worsen, multiple sources told TMZ. These people who apparently know her insist she’s often not taking the meds that stabilize her. She had been diagnoses with biploar in 2008 but there have been conflicting reports on her condition as of late. Yet, according to this report, she is allegedly back to drinking and using various, dangerous drugs. As someone who has substance abuse problems that have sent her to rehab multiple times, this is all very troubling.

No one who just wants to see her well and healthy and whole. Everyone seems to want a piece of her, without giving anything back. Here’s hoping she’s safe and whatever happens next, it’s what’s best for her. Britney Spears’ Still Dating A Criminal & She’s In ‘Grave … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Taylor Swift is reportedly experiencing major anxiety in her relationship. Why? Even if Taylor is flaunting her Travis Kelce romance in a manner that screams “high school romance,” they’re facing a very grown-up problem. Taylor and Travis both have huge careers that require extensive travel. Travis plays his ball games and does other projects. Taylor is currently traveling Europe for her Eras world tour. According to a report, Taylor is having “separation anxiety” over time apart from Travis. Is this normal and healthy, or a relationship red flag? Taylor Alison Swift, also known as Taylor Swift, performs on stage at the Paris La Defense Arena as part of her The Eras Tour, in Nanterre, north-western France, on May 9, 2024. (Photo Credit: JULIEN DE ROSA/AFP via Getty Images) Back on tour, Taylor Swift is spending (some) time apart from Travis Kelce Shortly after Taylor Swift resumed her Eras world tour, now performing in Europe, Travis Kelce joined her. He’s attended her shows, and the two even had a romantic getaway in Italy. But that doesn’t mean that they’re glued at the hip — or will remain that way indefinitely. Between her tour and his obligations (including his team), they will certainly spend more time continents apart. “They’re going to be facing their longest time apart,” an inside source tells Life & Style about Taylor and Travis spending time in different places. Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs kisses Taylor Swift after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 during Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024. (Photo Credit: Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) “He’ll make some trips to see her,” the insider reasoned. “But she can’t be leaving tour to see him,” the source added. “So,” the insider explained, “she’s got to leave this all up to him and it’s making her very anxious.” Taylor Swift is reportedly experiencing ‘separation anxiety’ as a result “Her separation anxiety has kicked in big time,” the inside source alleged. “And it’s very worrisome for friends,” the insider continued. These are friends “who think it’s a bad sign that she’s so panicked about having to have time apart from him.” According to the source, Taylor may be “even begging” Travis to “go on tour with her” rather than spend time away.

(Photo Credit: JULIEN DE ROSA/AFP via Getty Images) “But from her friends’ perspective, she ought to be able to enjoy her own company still,” the insider pointed out. “Before he came along, she was so excited about touring,” the source described. “And now it’s like she can’t enjoy it unless he’s with her.” The insider stressed that “it’s not just Taylor that’s putting pressure on Travis.” The media circus surrounding this relationship has made things pretty weird.

(Photo Credit: Jamie Squire/Getty Images) The Travis Kelce proposal questions are deeply absurd “People are constantly asking him when he’s going to propose, it’s really intense,” the inside source noted. While Travis and Taylor are both 34 and thus not too young to marry, they began dating in July of 2023 and thus haven’t even been dating for a full year. “Her friends are warning her to chill out and let things happen naturally. She needs to relax, take deep breaths and trust him and their relationship,” the insider reported. The source reasoned: “If it’s meant to be, a little time apart is only going to make things stronger.” What is separation anxiety anyway? “Separation anxiety” normally refers to children and is a normal and healthy part of development. Overwhelming human instinct makes most children anxious to be apart from their parents. There is also separation anxiety disorder, in which a less normal degree of anxiety impacts someone’s life in a negative manner. If this report about Taylor and Travis is accurate, Taylor’s anxiety doesn’t sound clinical. It sounds, at worst, a little clingy. This could be Taylor’s anxiety, arising from a foundation of insecurity. Some might blame Matty Healy for that.

Those closest to Kevin Costner fear that the star might be headed for a breakdown as he continues to push himself to the limit. As we’ve previously reported, it’s been a difficult year for the Hollywood legend. In addition to his messy divorce from Christine Baumgartner, Costner is in the midst of some major career upheaval. Kevin Costner and his wife Christine Baumgartner attend the 94th Oscars at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California on March 27, 2022. (Photo by ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images) Costner stepped away from his hit series Yellowstone in order to focus on writing, directing and starring in a multi-part Western epic. The first installment of Horizon: An American Saga hits theaters next month. And for Costner, the stakes couldn’t be higher. The ambitious star sold his home in Santa Barbara in order to partially self-finance the project. That means, of course, that he really needs a hit.

(Photo by Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images) Now, a source close to the star tells Life & Style that all that stress has taken a significant toll. “You could see how ‘shell-shocked’ Kevin has been after the last year and a half where he got divorced, fought publicly with the Yellowstone bosses and had to make these two Horizon movies with his own money before he could convince anybody to release them,” says the insider, who recently spent time with Costner at CinemaCon. “The whole ordeal aged him. And you see that in his body language, his spaced-out, glassy stare, and the slow, raspy way he speaks.” Kevin Costner attends the premiere of Disney’s “McFarland, USA” at the El Capitan Theatre on February 9, 2015 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images) Costner’s very public divorce and the news that his ex-wife is dating his friend Josh Connor couldn’t have been easy. But according to the insider, it’s the career stress that’s really gotten to the Oscar-winning filmmaker. Kevin Costner Has a Lot Riding on the Success of ‘Horizon’ “There’s such a thing as giving too much of yourself to a movie project. And that’s what’s happened to Kevin here,” the source adds.

(Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images) “Friends worry about Kevin because of the wars he’s been through in the last year and a half: his marriage ending, his fight with the Yellowstone bosses, and the monumental battle to get Horizon: An American Saga made,” says the insider. According to the insider, Costner has a gift for handling tremendous amounts of stress. But he might have finally bitten off more than he can chew. “Everybody has their limits, even somebody as self-reliant as Kevin. And you can see how hard he’s pushed himself when you spend a little time with him in person,” says the source.

Rodriguez/Getty Images) “His plans for this summer are extremely ambitious, but does he really have the energy to execute them? That’s an open question right now.” Fortunately, the 69-year-old has plenty of support to help him navigate this challenging period in his life. Costner’s relationship with Jewel is reportedly getting quite serious, and he remains a beloved figure in the industry. And if his Horizon gamble pays off, Costner could find himself more in demand than ever!

As you very much know by now, Matthew Perry is no longer with us. The beloved actor died in October at the young age of 54. However, TMZ now confirms that questions remain about the basis for this tragedy… with local authorities in California telling the celebrity gossip website that there’s an ongoing investigation into Perry’s death. Matthew Perry at an event in Beverly Hills on June 15, 2015. (Getty) The Friends cast member, who was candid for many years after his lengthy struggle with substance abuse, died from the acute effects of ketamine. His body was discovered in a hot tub on his property in Pacific Palisades by the star’s assistant. Following a 911 call, paramedics arrived on the scene and declared Perry dead before even taking him to the hospital. It’s all very sad, and now we’re learning more that it’s also at least a little bit shady and/or confusing. Matthew Perry speaks on stage during The Odd Couple panel as part of the CBS/Showtime 2015 Winter Television Critics Association press tour on January 12, 2015 in Pasadena, California. (Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images) According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office, Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for Depression and anxiety more than a week before his death. HOWEVER, this same department concluded the ketamine in Perry’s system when he died was NOT from the treatment. Enter this investigation. The police are the DEA have been looking for months into just who supplied Perry with the drug that took his life, having even “interviews some key people in Hollywood,” TMZ reports. Most of these individuals have some kind of history with drug use.

(Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for GQ)) Just this week, meanwhile, Courteney Cox said on an installment of CBS This Morning that she still thinks about Perry. “He visits me a lot, if we believe in that,” Cox said on this program. “I talk to my mom, my dad, Matthew. I feel like there are a lot of people that guide us. I sense Matthew’s around for sure.” Cox, Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc were notably very close throughout their decade-long run as stars on the smash hit sitcom Friends.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) “I’m grateful that I had that opportunity to work with such wonderful people and to live the life that I have now,” Cox also told CBS on May 19. “That was my family. We went through everything. Those 10 years were everything.” Shortly after Perry’s unexpected death last year, Cox used her Instagram page to share memories of spending to much time with him on the set of Friends. “When you work with someone as closely as I did with Matthew, there are thousands of moments I wish I could share,” she wrote alongside a clip of the par filming their first scene together as a romantic couple. “To give a little backstory, Chandler and Monica were supposed to have a one night fling in London. But because of the audience’s reaction, it became the beginning of their love story.” Speaking to CBS, the actress concluded on this tragic topic: “You know, he’s just so funny. He has genuinely a huge heart, obviously struggled. I’m so thankful I got to work so closely with him for so many years. He visits me a lot, if we believe in that.” Matthew Perry Death Investigation Underway: Where Did the Actor Get His Ketamine?!? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

When Jennifer Lopez was pregnant, she was a sight to behold! Radiant, joyful – we could gush on and on! Ever since she reunited and finally married Ben Affleck, fans have hoped that the pair, who have kids with other people, would finally have a baby of their own. A vision of love. ((Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images,)) But now, with rumors running rampant that Bennifer is about to meet their end of a second time, the idea of these two could be having a baby seems more far-fetched than ever. Despite the fact that just a month before, reports suggested they were talking in earnest about a baby! Could Jennifer Lopez still get pregnant? Does she want to?! Here’s what we know. Jennifer Lopez Has Two Children From Her Previous Marriage J.Lo has two kids with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, twins Emme and Max. The kiddos were born in February 2008, meaning they’ll be celebrating their sweet 16 in 2024! The trio are incredibly close, with Emme even following in mom’s footsteps with a love of performing.

In a recent interview, the twins actually told their mom they liked her old music better than anything she’s recorded during their lifetime. “They said, ‘Is this you, Mommy?,’” the twins asked after Jennifer played them tracks off of her 2002 album, This Is Me…Then. I’m like, “Yeah, this is an album I did 18 years ago.’ I played them another song and asked them if they liked it, and they said yes, and I said, ‘I wrote this.’ And then they’re like, ‘Yeah, we like this more than the music you make now,’ ” she said. “Ouch. But a good ouch.” Jennifer and Ben with her child, Emme. ((Photo by Romain Maurice/Getty Images for Haute Living)) Ben Affleck Has Three Kids With His Ex-Wife As for Jennifer’s better half, Ben has 3 teenagers of his own to wrangle: Violet Anne, 18, Seraphina Rose, 15, and Samuel, 11. Ben’s children have a different “Jennifer” mother, however; Jennifer Garner, Ben’s longtime wife before J.Lo round two, gave birth to all of Ben’s kids. In the years since Bennifer reunited, Ben and J.Lo’s kids have been seen together quite a bit. Even the two Jennifers have been spotted getting along. Clearly, the blended family is working out.

I’m so open to it!” That is what Jennifer told People Magazine in 2019 about having more kids. Full disclosure, this statement came well before her reunion with Ben; in fact, she was engaged to Alex Rodriguez at the time. But still, it was clear that, despite juggling two teenagers, Jennifer was still thinking about being a mother again all those years later. And now? The pair have stayed fairly mum on the topic, but there were reports that the pair started “baby planning” almost immediately after they were married in 2022. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck attend the Los Angeles premiere of Warner Bros. “The Flash” in 2023. (Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images) “The official line they tell friends is that they’re just grateful to have this beautiful, blended family and that’s all they need besides each other,” said a source to Closer Weekly. The alleged insider at the time said that their “ preferred scenario of surrogacy”. And that the pair would hopefully have a “baby in their arms by this time next year, possibly twins if they’re lucky enough.” But that moment had come and gone. Yet, in it’s place, a two new reports sprung up: One about a happy future with a baby – and another forecasting the end of their marriage! A Baby in a Carriage or the End Of Their Marriage? In April 2024, a source shared with Life & Style that Jennifer had been trying to persuade Ben for awhile to have a baby via surrogate — and had “finally got him to cave in.” “She nagged him until he went along with it,” adds the source. “Ben was completely happy with the blended family they already have — but he loves kids, that’s why he agreed to having another. At the end of the day, he wants Jennifer to be happy.” But no sooner did this blessed news drop did another tale about their marriage come to light – and this one took on much more steam! But the start of May, the world became wildly concerned that Bennifer was headed for a breakup. No one had seen them together for weeks, Ben stopped wearing his ring, and it seemed everyone had a source insisting the marriage had failed. Well, a baby surely won’t fix a broken marriage. But if they can work through it, then maybe another little one could be in the works!

Nina Dobrev is currently lying in a hospital bed after an accident landed her in doctors care! The Vampire Diaries alum, who is dating former professional snowboarder and skateboarder Shaun White, survived a wipeout of her own, but not without injury. The photos show just how bad her bang up is, as well as her prognosis going forward.

She presumably posted the images from a hospital. The first slide shows her smiling while sitting on a motorbike. The second picture shows the actress in the hospital with multiple injuries. Sporting a neck AND knee brace, Nina looks pretty bang up and pretty depressed from inside the ER. Just off-screen, a medical professional seems to be tending to her, but there’s no sign of her man, Shaun, nearby. In her Instagram stories, she shared another selfie, this time of her making a pouting face to the camera. As for her condition, Nina says she’s it’s serious, but not the end of the world. “I’m ok, but it’s going to be a long road of recovery ahead,” she wrote. Poor thing! Especially given the fact that she had big plans coming up! Nina Missing The Olympics?! Nina Dobrev and White have been dating since 2020, and since his retirement, the pair have had the chance to spend a lot of quality time together. In fact, though he no longer competes, Shaun’s headed to Paris in just a few short weeks for the upcoming Olympic Games. As he explained to Us Weekly, he was looking forward to having Nina by his side for the trip, since she speaks the language. “She speaks pretty fluent French. She’s going to hate me for saying that, she’s like, ‘It’s not fluent. I dabble,’’” Shaun joked of Nina, noting that her mom lives in the South of France. “We’ll definitely be going, hopefully for the Olympics and hanging out. I love the Summer Olympics. No one’s expecting me to do anything.” Feels like this accident might put a major cramp in that plan! Sorry, girl!
