Reading Time: 2 minutes Usually, when Chase Chrisley makes headlines, it’s not for anything good. Just look at his 2025, for example: In January, Chase was arrested on battery charges. And in September, his sister, Savannah Chrisley, accused Chase of being an alcoholic. So what’s next on Chase’s never-ending roller coaster ride? Well, if one new report is to be believed, the troubled former reality star is now a married man! (Photo by Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images) Yes, the generally reliable gossip outlet Deuxmoi is reporting that Chase secretly tied the knot in Michigan. Michigan is one of the few states that allows people to marry in secret, so there’s no public license for Chase and his new partner. But Deuwmoi rarely gets it wrong, and the folks who run the page seem confident that Chase has taken the plunge with an unidentified spouse. “A source tells Deuxmoi that Chase Chrisley, known for his family’s reality series Chrisley Knows Best, which aired for 10 seasons from 2014 to 2023, allegedly tied the knot in a private ceremony in Michigan,” the site reports, adding: “According to the source, the couple opted for a confidential marriage license. “Michigan allows confidential marriages under certain circumstances, potentially explaining why no public record has surfaced. “Chase has not publicly confirmed the alleged marriage.” The Chrisleys, as you might be aware, have had a turbulent few years. In fact, when discussing the family’s many ups and downs, it’s tough to know where to begin. Last year, Todd and Lindsie Chrisley were pardoned by Donald Trump and released from prison after serving time on fraud charges. Lindsie was later booked on DUI charges. But that’s one reason why pardons are so much better than parole — she was not sent back to the clink. And then there’s Kyle Chrisley, who was recently arrested for punching a police officer. So while he might not be the black sheep in the family anymore, it’s easy to see why Chase decided to keep his wedding details under wraps: His family is pretty popular with the tabloid media these days. Anyway! Our congrats go out to the happy couple. Hopefully they’re enjoying a honeymoon far away from the rest of Chase’s family.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Earlier this week, Roseanne Barr gave a very candid interview to The Hollywood Reporter. In addition to divulging secrets from her own private life, Roseanne spilled tea about some of her famous friends, including the late Lisa Marie Presley. Presley passed away in 2023, but prior to her death, she lived a very eventful life. In addition to being Elvis’ only child, Lisa Marie was briefly married to Michael Jackson — and it seems the two of them enjoyed some pretty intense chemistry. (Photo by Carlo Allegri/Getty Images) “He had it going on. She said he told her all the things girls want to hear,” Barr said in her THR conversation. She added that Presley “never lied about s–t like that” Apparently, Jackson was a quick learner, as Lisa Marie revealed in her memoir that he was “still a virgin” when they started dating. “I think he had kissed Tatum O’Neal, and he’d had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn’t been physical apart from a kiss. He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened,” she wrote. Elsewhere in the interview, Roseanne talked about her new sitcom, Meemaw, in which she plays a Texas doomsday prepper and leader of a local prayer group. “I haven’t really showed it to anybody yet. But it is so funny. It’s the funniest shit I’ve ever done, and I had a ball and I play a really wacky old lady this time,” Roseanne said. The show seems to be a reflection of Roseanne’s recent shift toward the far right, so it makes sense that she cast actor turned controversial conspiracy theorist Randy Quaid as her love interest. “I’m in love with him and I wish he would leave his wife and marry me. I enjoyed making out with him so much that I wrote extra scenes where we would make out,” Barr quipped of her relationship with Quaid. Barr also revealed that she asked her Roseanne co-star John Goodman to do a cameo on her new show — but he declined. Given some of the things Roseanne has said lately, we suppose that’s not a big surprise.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Sometimes, a devastating loss is also the opportunity of a lifetime. Amy Robach and T..J. Holmes’ love story cost them their jobs and their respective marriages. Robach lost ex-husband Andrew Shue. Holmes lost ex-wife Marilee Fiebig. The exes began dating after the scandal broke out. Now, the former news anchors are married. And their exes are engaged. (Photo Credit: Cindy Ord/Getty Images) ‘There’s a happy ending’ On Wednesday, October 21, Andrew Shue confirmed to People that the two are now happily engaged. He and Marilee Fiebig’s engagement began, in secret, this past spring. Now that Robach and Holmes’ private wedding from last month has gone down, however, he’s willing to share. “I don’t know how it happened,” he admitted. Shue continued: “But there’s a happy ending.” According to Shue, parting of moving on meant that he “had to accept my own part in marriage not working out for me.” That shows a tremendous amount of emotional maturity and introspection. Many people would (understandably) focus only upon the betrayal, and not upon the environment before it. Shue gushed over having found “the right person” in Fiebig. He praised that his new fiancee “has been an extraordinary gift.” Shue reiterated: “Again, I don’t know how it happened, but I can say I’m grateful.” ‘It just happened’ As he continued, Shue admitted that he “had to grow through a lot of pain and a lot of struggle and a lot of humility” to reach this point. However, he discovered that “the magic of love is when you go from a need to giving.” That’s beautiful! “You don’t know how you meet the person who’s right for you,” Shue confessed. “It just happened.” He advised: “And you can say how it’s just this kind of freak luck that this is how you ended up getting to know that person in a way that would allow you to reveal yourself and for her to reveal herself.” Shue shared that he and Fiebig fell in love because they were “able to share ourselves with each other in a time where we both needed a friend.” A shared experience can bind people together for life. Usually, the experience isn’t quite this public or dramatic. 59-year-old Shue and 48-year-old Fiebig began dating in 2023 after their exes publicly got together. Just three years later and they’re happily engaged while their exes are happily married. We are incredibly happy for them. Not every roller coaster divorce ends in romantic bliss so soon or conveniently. Truly, they each found the one person in the world who could best understand their recent divorce journeys.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Lil Jon is letting fans see a side of himself they rarely get to witness, and his new memoir comes with some heartbreaking revelations. The Grammy-winning rapper and producer, whose real name is Jonathan Smith, released I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me on Tuesday. The book chronicles his rise to fame, but it also explores two deeply personal experiences: the unexpected death of his son, Nathan Smith, and the discovery that the man who raised him was not his biological father. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images for Warner Bros. Discovery) For an artist who has spent decades rocking the party, this latest chapter of his life is considerably more emotional. Nathan, known professionally as DJ Young Slade, died in February at age 27. His death was ruled an accidental drowning, with psilocybin use cited as a contributing factor. Lil Jon has been candid about the devastating loss, including the final conversations he shared with his son. In the memoir, he also addresses Nathan’s struggles with anxiety and the emotional challenges he was facing before his death. The rapper said Nathan had plans for the day he disappeared, including a scheduled therapy appointment. He had also communicated with his therapist the night before. “I can say now, with full confidence, Nathan did not intend to die,” Lil Jon wrote, according to USA Today. The musician has emphasized that he never believed his son intended to harm himself, making the sudden loss all the more difficult to comprehend. Nathan was more than Lil Jon’s son. He was also a fellow musician who worked alongside his famous father in the recording studio. The two collaborated professionally, and Nathan contributed engineering work to his father’s 2024 meditation album, Total Meditation. Lil Jon initially thought he had completed his memoir before the tragedy. After Nathan’s death, however, he returned to the manuscript to add a chapter about his grief and the experience of losing a child. “This book is dedicated to him now,” he told People. The rapper has also acknowledged that he has struggled to give himself permission to grieve. In a recent interview, he explained that therapy helped him recognize how much pain he had been pushing aside while continuing to work and fulfill his responsibilities. Now, he hopes that sharing his experience might help other people navigating similar losses feel less alone. But Nathan’s death was not the only unexpected turn of events that occurred while Jon was writing his memoir. While exploring his family history, he learned that Willie, the man he had always known as his father, was not his biological parent. The discovery followed a cousin’s DNA test that revealed an unexpected mismatch in their family connection. The news left the rapper with questions he may never be able to answer. Both Willie and his biological father have died, as has his mother, Carrie, who passed away in 2013. Jon has said that accepting he may never learn the full story has been part of processing the revelation. For an artist whose public persona has long revolved around high-energy performances and party anthems, the memoir offers a much more vulnerable portrait. And while he continues to navigate unimaginable grief, he hopes that telling his story can help others find their own way forward.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Wedding bells are (allegedly) in the air! Renée Zellweger and Ant Anstead have been together for five years. A new report says that they’re earnestly planning their wedding, right down to picking a date and a dress. Here’s everything that we know so far. (Photo Credit: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) ‘It’s obvious how in love and how sincere they both are’ According to a report from RadarOnline, Zellweger and Anstead are planning their upcoming nuptials. “They seem to be very serious about moving forward,” an alleged inside source assessed. “They’ve started running dates by people,” the insider claimed. The source shared that they are “talking about various locations” for the wedding. “And,” the insider announced, “Renée is dress shopping.” “It’s obvious how in love and how sincere they both are,” the alleged source described. According to the report, two of Zellweger’s famous co-stars have also been cheering them on, especially as things get more serious. “Hugh has been telling them for ages that they should get married,” the source claimed. “And,” the insider dished, “Tom had almost given up on them actually taking the plunge.” That would be Hugh Grant of the Bridget Jones cinematic universe and Tom Cruise of Jerry Maguire, respectively. They’ve been dating for five-and-a-half years The 57-year-old actress met Anstead, a racecar driver and television host, back in 2021. It was, appropriately, on the set of Celebrity IOU: Joyride. In the immediate aftermath, he marveled at her personality. The couple began dating in short order. Fast forward to April 2026, and the two celebrated their 5-year anniversary as a couple. Earlier this year, Anstead did play down wedding talk. Both he and Zellweger have — famously — been married. Her to Kenny Chesney, and him to Christina Haack. For this reason and more, we of course cannot confirm whether Anstead and Zellweger are actually planning their wedding. Maybe they decided that it was time. After all, he has referred to her as “the missus.” It’s also possible that the discussion of distant hypothetical wedding plans has some folks overly excited. Only time will tell.

Reading Time: 2 minutes It was an emotional night on Dancing With the Stars. Julia Stiles and Tatyana Ali both paid tribute to their late co-stars during an emotional night of memories, music, and reunions. During Tuesday’s Dedication Night, Stiles honored her late 10 Things I Hate About You co-star Heath Ledger, while Ali remembered James Avery, who played her father on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. (ABC/YouTube) Both performances celebrated the lasting impact of the actors and the special relationships they shared with their younger co-stars. Julia took the ballroom floor with professional partner Ezra Sosa for a contemporary routine set to Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” The song holds particular significance for fans of the 1999 romantic comedy, as Ledger famously sang it to Stiles’ character in the film. Before the performance, Stiles reflected on working alongside the late Oscar-winning actor, who died in 2008 at age 28. “I learned a lot from Heath. He was so authentic,” she shared. Stiles also recalled how effortlessly they worked together, saying she was charmed by Ledger and had many wonderful memories of their time filming the movie. But the tribute also brought some sadness. “I really wish that I could pick up the phone and be like, ‘Hey, dude. People really care about that movie. We did something special,’” Stiles explained. “And I can’t do that.” The actress and Sosa ultimately earned 36 out of 40 points from the judges. The performance also brought a reunion with several of the film’s original cast members, giving fans another reason to revisit the beloved teen comedy. Meanwhile, Tatyana honored her on-screen dad with a Viennese waltz alongside professional partner Jan Ravnik. The actress also supplied the vocals for their rendition of Nancy Wilson’s “(You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am.” Avery, who died in 2013 at age 68 following complications from open-heart surgery, played the stern but loving Philip Banks on “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” For Ali, who portrayed his daughter Ashley, the connection went far beyond their television roles. “He was very much a father figure for all of us,” she said. Ali credited Avery with teaching her that performing could be more than a job, but also a meaningful way to contribute and connect with others. “I loved him a lot,” she added emotionally. “I miss him.” Ali’s former onscreen brother, Alfonso Ribeiro, joined the rehearsal process to help celebrate Avery’s memory. The “DWTS” co-host described the performance as an opportunity to express gratitude to the man who had played such an important role in their lives. The tribute earned Ali and Ravnik 32 out of 40 points. In honor of the special nature of the episode, no one was eliminated. Both performances served as reminders that the relationships formed on movie and television sets can last long after filming ends. For Stiles and Ali, Dedication Night was an opportunity to celebrate the men who helped shape their careers –while also introducing a new generation of viewers to their enduring legacies.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Is this couple in hot water with the 90 Day Fiance fandom? Early this year, Sumit Singh and Jenny Slatten disclosed Jenny’s ALS diagnosis. She has lost most of her speech and some of her mobility, and is raising money for health treatment. After a recent trip, some fans accuse her of squandering crowdfunding donations on a luxury vacation. What happened? (Image Credit: YouTube) ‘My life is going to end and yours will keep going’ Recently, 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way stars Jenny and Sumit went on a trip to Goa. Goa is an affluent coastal state in southwestern India. I was the capitol of the Eastern Portuguese Empire until just over 60 years ago. Jenny shared photos on Facebook to document the excursion. In photos, we can see her making use of a wheelchair. As her disease progresses, she will need to use additional mobility aids. Jenny struggles to speak aloud, but not to type. So when commenters accused her and Sumit of spending GoFundMe money on a tropical vacation, she took them to task. “If you don’t know what ALS does to a person please research it, we came to the beach for part of my treatment,” Jenny began. “The ocean has negative [ions],” she noted, “and that’s good for an ALS PATIENT.” (We did a bit of a deep dive on this, and apparently there is a lot of research into the role of ions as well as sodium and potassium channels in ALS. Not everything is conclusive, as studies are ongoing.) “[S]o that’s why we’re here,” Jenny asserted. “So please keep your negative hateful comments to yourself.” Bluntly, she noted: “My life is going to end and yours will keep going on so if you don’t agree with our sea vacation keep it to yourself. Thank you.” ‘You can have the money if I can have your health’ Jenny continued, this time addressing a larger group of haters. “For all those people who are mad about the GoFundMe for my ALS,” she wrote. Jenny proposed: “You can have the money if I can have your health.” That’s harsh — but a very fair expression of her ongoing decline in health. There are people in this world who feel entitled to tell people what to do, especially if that person has received donations of any kind. This is a toxic mindset. We do not get to police how others seek treatment. Others were more supportive, cheering on Jenny. Some commenters praised Sumit for being a loving and supportive husband. When some fans asked about Jenny’s use of a wheelchair, she explained that she’s not in one “all the time.” Jenny detailed that she only needs a wheelchair “on long walks” so far. It’s good to remember that her health insurance does not cover treatment or anything else in India, and that Sumit cannot come to the US to support her without an emergency visa.

Reading Time: 2 minutes “We’re going to have a baby,” he announced. Bachelor Nation hottie Tyler Cameron has been competing on Dancing With The Stars. He and fiancee Tate Madden have big news: they’re expecting! They even did a sex reveal for DWTS viewers. (Image Credit: ABC) Big news! On the Tuesday, October 20 episode of Dancing With The Stars, Tyler and Tate shared their happy news. During a contemporary dance routine, one set to “Supermarket Flowers’ by controversial singer Ed Sheeran, the audience heard a voiceover by Tyler. (He was, of course, dancing with Sharna Burgess, though he has referred to Tate has his dance partner since their relationship first went public in 2024. Tate even joined him on.) The dance was dedicated to moms everywhere. And Tyler specifically addressed his own mother, who passed away in 2020. “Hey, mom, there’s so much I wish I could tell you,” Tyler began. “You would have loved the woman I’m going to marry,” he gushed. “All the things that made you special,” Tyler continued, “I found in her.” (Some of us may find it jarring to compare a romantic or sexual partner to our own human parent, but this seems to be particular common among straight men praising the women in their lives.) “She’s going to be the most incredible mama, just like you,” Tyler gushed as Tate joined him on the dance floor. “And we’re going to have a baby.” ‘We’re going to have a baby’ “I can’t believe I’m going to be a dad,” Tyler marveled as the announcement continued. “I wish you were here,” he earnestly expressed. Tyler aspired: “Hope that I make you proud.” Without knowing Tyler’s mother, many of his fans can attest that they’re confident that his mother would continue to feel pride in him. “I love you and I miss you, every day,” he concluded. Alfonso Ribeiro, DWTS co-host, helped Tyler and Tate to reveal that they’re expecting a daughter. The pink confetti was a lot, but it didn’t start a forest fire, so that we’ve seen sex reveals go worse. “I get to be a girl dad, what a gift,” Tyler gushed at the news. Tyler and Tate’s big news (and the dance) won a 32/40 points. Congratulations to this beautiful couple!

Reading Time: 2 minutes Kim Kardashian is taking the concept of a mother-daughter resemblance to a whole new level this Halloween. The reality star transformed herself into her eldest daughter, North West, for a costume that was so convincing it left some fans questioning whether they were looking at Kim or her 13-year-old mini-me. Kim showed off the transformation on Instagram on Tuesday, recreating North’s signature edgy aesthetic with turquoise hair, spiky eyelashes, facial piercings, and black grills. (Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images for Daily Front Row) The billionaire single mom completed the look with an oversized black graphic T-shirt, black-and-white striped sleeves, a chunky silver skull-and-crossbones necklace and plenty of spiked accessories. Her extra-long, pointed nails featured black-and-silver gothic designs, further proving that Kim committed to the bit. “Halloween 2026,” she captioned the series of photos, posing in a manner that closely mirrored her daughter’s signature social media style. And commenters felt that the resemblance was pretty convincing. “Twins!!!!!!” Kim’s sister Kourtney Kardashian wrote on the post, while momager Kris Jenner gushed, “This is so fun!!!!!” Fans were equally impressed, with one admitting, “Girl I thought this was northhh.” Another commenter declared that the mother and daughter looked like twins. Of course, Kim’s costume arrives after North’s distinctive fashion choices have sparked considerable debate online. Earlier this month, the teenager addressed critics who accused her of dressing “demonic” during a TikTok Live session with her mother. “Oh no, I’m not demonic, guys. Stop saying I’m demonic. No, I’m not,” North insisted. “Just because I like to dress this way, don’t judge a book by its cover,” she added. Kim also weighed in on the controversy, suggesting that North’s black grills and piercings were contributing to the criticism. During the livestream, the mother and daughter clarified that North’s facial piercings are not real. “I change them so much that you guys think it’s real,” North joked while showing off some of her accessories. The aspiring rapper has expressed interest in getting actual piercings, but Kim has previously said no to that request. Kim, who shares kids North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm with ex-husband Kanye West, has also discussed the challenges of watching her daughter navigate public scrutiny. During an appearance on Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast, she explained that North’s fashion choices sometimes attract criticism even when other children are wearing similar outfits. “But then my daughter tries to wear it and then I’m like, ‘Okay, we’re never wearing that again,’” Kim admitted (via Page Six). She added, “Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.” For Halloween, however, Kim appears to be embracing North’s style rather than shying away from it. And if the family’s reaction is any indication, the teenager’s distinctive aesthetic has officially earned her mother’s stamp of approval.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Prince Harry isn’t giving up on his family just yet. The Duke of Sussex has opened up about his strained relationships with his brother, Prince William, and father, King Charles, making it clear that he still hopes the royal rift can eventually be healed. In a new interview with GQ, Harry discussed the emotional toll of family conflict and why reconciliation remains important to him. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) The conversation was recorded in New York in late September, the same month that Harry and wife Meghan Markle moved back to the UK after several years in California. Asked whether he grieves his “complicated” relationship with his father and brother, Harry didn’t hesitate. “Yes, of course,” he replied, acknowledging that family estrangement is something many people can understand. “There’s sibling disagreements. There’s broken relationships between, you know, kids and their parents, kids and one parent,” he explained, noting that people frequently bring up the subject when speaking with him. The Duke of Sussex also suggested that the public’s fascination with the royal family’s ongoing troubles might come from the hope that watching them work through their differences could help others navigate their own family problems. “Some people don’t want it to work out – I want it to work out,” he said. The remark quickly prompted speculation about whether Harry was taking a dig at William or other members of the royal family. However, a spokesperson for the prince subsequently clarified that the comment was not directed at his relatives. “It was absolutely not intended as a swipe at his brother or any other member of his family,” the spokesperson explained, adding that Harry was speaking in a general context. Still, the clarification doesn’t change the fact that the family has a long way to go before everything is back to normal. Harry and Meghan stepped away from their senior royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California. Their subsequent interviews and public statements about life within the monarchy further strained relationships with the institution and members of Harry’s family. Harry has previously expressed a desire to rebuild his relationship with Charles, particularly because he wants their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, to have a relationship with their grandfather. Charles, meanwhile, has been receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer. Asked whether he believes the family wound can be repaired, Harry acknowledged that reconciliation isn’t necessarily simple. “Look, scars stick around forever,” he said, while encouraging people to reconsider how they view painful experiences and to make an effort to let go of the past. “For me, there’s enough drama in the world and enough drama in people’s lives than to continue with issues with family,” Harry added. The prince’s comments suggest that, despite years of public disagreements and private hurt, he still believes there is value in trying to mend those relationships. Whether William and Charles are ready to meet him halfway remains another question entirely. We’ll have further updates on this ongoing drama as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 2 minutes We have tragic news to report from the world of politics today: Kyle Kennedy, the granddaughter of Robert F. and Ethel Kennedy, has died at the age of 42. The educator and disability rights advocate passed away at her home in Westwood, Massachusetts, on September 21, according to her obituary. Her death comes six years after Kennedy suffered a severe spinal cord injury that left her with long-term paralysis. A cause of death has not been publicly disclosed, and further details surrounding her passing remain limited (per Page Six). Kennedy was one of 34 grandchildren born into the prominent Kennedy family, which has endured numerous personal tragedies over the decades. She was the daughter of Michael Kennedy and Victoria Denise Gifford. Her father died in a skiing accident on New Year’s Eve in 1997 at the age of 39, when Kyle was just 13 years old. Despite the challenges she faced throughout her life, Kennedy built a career dedicated to helping children and improving educational opportunities for disadvantaged communities. According to her obituary, she attended Georgetown University, where she studied history, before earning a master’s degree in early education from Pace University. She later received a second master’s degree in education policy and management from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education. (Photo by Leigh Vogel/Getty Images for RFK Human Rights) After college, Kennedy joined Teach for America and spent two years teaching in New York City public schools. She subsequently worked with technology companies focused on improving school curricula and coached educators working with young students. Her commitment to education extended beyond the classroom. Following her spinal cord injury in 2020, Kennedy became an advocate for people living with disabilities. She even testified at the Massachusetts State House during a hearing addressing discrimination in health care for disabled people. Her obituary remembered her as a woman with a formidable intellect and a dry wit, highlighting her devotion to her children and her work supporting educational reform. Kennedy also had a competitive streak. She developed a passion for long-distance running and completed the Boston Marathon in 2019, beating her late father’s marathon time by 20 minutes. She leaves behind two sons, Conor, 12, and Declan, 10, whom she shared with her former husband, Liam Kerr. The former couple also had a daughter, Josephine, Conor’s twin sister, who died just days after her birth. Kennedy is also survived by her mother, Victoria, her siblings Michael and Rory, and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services were held privately. Her death marks another heartbreaking loss for a family whose public legacy has long been intertwined with both political history and personal tragedy. Our condolences go out to Kyle’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time. Kyle Kennedy Cause of Death: Granddaughter of RFK Was 42 was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Call Her … Mommy? (Sorry.) YouTuber Alex Cooper and her husband are now parents! Five months after announcing that she was pregnant, she has welcomed Baby #1. Cooper even posted a photo of the newborn. So cute! (Photo Credit: Mike Coppola/Getty Images for YouTube) Congratulations are in order On Tuesday, October 20, Cooper took to her Instagram page to announce the birth of her first child. In lieu of a gushing caption, she wrote only a single blue heart emoji. The real announcement was the photo of her newborn. Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan, are first-time parents. Congratulations! Back in May, Cooper announced that she and Kaplan were expanding their family two years after their April 2024 wedding. “Daddy Gang, there is something I’ve been waiting to share with you …,” she teased at the time. Alongside the words, she shared maternity photos. Following her baby bump debut, Cooper wrote: “Our family” and a white heart emoji. In a Story post, she remarked: “Honestly happy I can finally stop trying to hide the bump lol.” Sometimes, a secret is a fun surprise Prior to the pregnancy news, there had been public speculation about the state of Cooper and Kaplan’s marriage. This happens sometimes — a couple isn’t seen out as often, or have different vibes when out and about, and fans might read it as marital problems. That did not turn out to be the case. Instead, as Cooper would later explain, they were actively concealing her pregnancy until she was ready to share the news. Just because you pick up that something’s different doesn’t mean that something is wrong. Sometimes, a couple is hiding exciting news. Cooper and Kaplan have weathered some controversies this year. Amidst Cooper’s well-publicized feud with Alix Earle, it came to light that she was accused of unscrupulous dealings in interviews and in terms of contracts. Kaplan was also accused of fostering a toxic work environment at their shared business. Perhaps having a new little one will absorb their focus for a time. Having a child seldom makes people better, but it can happen! Congratulations to these two new parents. Alex Cooper & Matt Kaplan Welcome Baby #1! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Jay-Z apparently believes the best person to headline the Super Bowl halftime show is none other than Jay-Z himself. And given his role in deciding who gets the coveted gig, the rapper may have a slight advantage over the competition. According to a new report from Puck, multiple sources say the music mogul has selected himself to headline Super Bowl LXI in February 2027. (Photo by Monica Schipper/WireImage) Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were reportedly among the other artists considered for the performance. The NFL and Roc Nation did not respond to Puck’s requests for comment, so the reported selection has not been officially confirmed. Still, Jay’s potential decision makes plenty of sense considering he has been helping determine who performs at the biggest football game of the year since 2019. His company, Roc Nation, signed a deal with the NFL to curate and produce the halftime show, with the partnership renewed for another five years in 2024. In other words, Hov has spent years choosing the stars who get the spotlight. Now, he could be ready to step into it himself. And the 56-year-old certainly has plenty of experience to draw from. Jay has been enjoying a successful run of live performances, including anniversary shows celebrating his landmark albums Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint. According to Puck, three sold-out performances at Yankee Stadium in July generated more than $42 million, while a sold-out Paris concert brought in another $12 million last month. He also reunited the Fugees during two sold-out London shows, delivering the kind of high-profile musical moment that could translate nicely to a Super Bowl audience. Of course, Jay-Z has not released a solo album since 2017’s 4:44. His last major chart hit came years ago, but his extensive catalog of recognizable songs could still make him a formidable halftime headliner. And then there’s his Rolodex. Jay is married to Beyonce, who headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013 and returned as a guest performer in 2016. Her potential involvement would undoubtedly generate excitement, although no guest appearances have been confirmed. Jay could reportedly announce the halftime booking this weekend, when he performs two shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles — the same venue scheduled to host the February 14, 2027, Super Bowl. For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement. But if the report proves accurate, the man who has spent years picking the halftime entertainment may finally have decided that nobody is better suited for the job than himself.

Reading Time: 3 minutes In September, the world lost one of its greatest and most beloved talents. Dolly Parton is mourned by millions, including her goddaughter Miley Cyrus. As Miley performed before sold-out crowds over the weekend, she paid tribute to her “Aunt Dolly” on stage. She also detailed how she had received a “sign” from Dolly’s spirit showing that she is still watching over her. (Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) ‘She’s right here beside me every day’ In a series of social media videos, we can see Miley’s Hollywood Bowl residency performance from over the weekend. Speaking to the crowd in Los Angeles, she said of Dolly: “She’s right here beside me every day.” Miley elaborated: “All the time — more than she could be when she was here. I feel her more now than ever.” She affirmed: “Nothing in this life could ever tear us apart.” Dolly was her godmother and her “aunt.” “I’m going to see her again and I can’t f–king wait because I miss her,” Miley added, seemingly referencing an afterlife belief. “Some of the greatest music that we have today was written, produced, performed by my aunt Dolly.” Miley Cyrus gets emotional talking about Dolly Parton at her Hollywood Bowl concert: “So many reasons why I wanted to perform at the Hollywood Bowl… above every single one of them was that I only got to see Dolly live in concert one time in my entire life, and it was here.” https://t.co/c3n9s5iJcu — Pop Base (@PopBase) October 17, 2026 On Sunday, October 18, Miley detailed a private moment during which, she says, Dolly’s spirit communicated with her. This was an intentional moment in which Miley invited the late legend to show her a sign. She says that she received it. One part of the experience was a mannequin of Dolly, which she apparently gave Miley as a gift. Alongside a candle, a flower, and “Jolene” playing on her phone, this set the tone. Miley then asked Dolly to flicker the lights if she was there. She says that the lights in the hall began to do just that. Miley Cyrus says Dolly Parton communicated with her from the dead. https://t.co/5r3f8KO5d4 — TMZ (@TMZ) October 19, 2026 This ‘sign’ from Dolly had another witness Miley described how her fiance also witnessed the lights flickering — even though he was unaware of the prompt and thus was not on the lookout for it. Maxx Morando was not on stage to chime in, but we can presumably take Miley’s word for it. She told the crowd at the sold out venue that she could still feel her godmother’s presence. Miley also put on a very emotional performance of “Jolene,” one of Dolly’s greatest hits of all time. This was an evocative performance for her and for the crowd. Everyone is still processing their grief at losing this national icon. 🎥 Avant de performer Jolene, Miley a pleuré et a également expliqué l’importance de Dolly Parton dans sa vie, et ce depuis son enfance. Elle rêvait de performer au Hollywood Bowl car c’est là qu’elle a vu Dolly en concert pour la seule et unique fois. https://t.co/5hYJ1LcBmT — Miley Cyrus France (@MileySource_FR) October 17, 2026 Some would classify this as a supernatural visitation. We would debate the use of the word “supernatural” but, rather than splitting hairs, we’ll instead give Miley — on the slim chance that she is reading this — a piece of advice: Get your wiring checked. Without disputing the spirits of loved ones existing after death or their ability to communicate with the living, we have to emphasize that most of the time, the flickering of lights is due to electrical wiring issues. Call an electrician. You can treasure a spiritual connection to a deceased loved one and help to prevent house fires.

Reading Time: 3 minutes The good news is that after years of suffering, Christina Applegate has learned that she does not have multiple sclerosis. The bad news is that a medical misdiagnosis is never a good thing, and unnecessary treatments can lead to tremendous pain. Christina returned to MeSsy this week — the podcast she co-hosts with actress Jamie Lynn Sigler — and she delivered a devastating revelation about her health. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Critics Choice Association) While fans may have been hoping for an encouraging update following her reported hospitalization earlier this year, Applegate instead shared news that has left her struggling to make sense of her ongoing medical problems. According to Applegate, doctors recently informed her that she does not have multiple sclerosis (MS), despite having lived with the diagnosis since 2021. “She came into my room and said, ‘Congratulations, you don’t have MS,’” Applegate recalled through tears. The news didn’t bring the relief that her doctor apparently expected. Instead, the actress was left confused and upset, particularly because her physical symptoms haven’t improved. “You don’t get misdiagnosed and then all of the sudden I’m better,” Applegate explained. “I haven’t gotten better, Jamie! If anything, I’ve gotten worse.” The revelation means Applegate is now facing a new round of medical investigations as doctors attempt to determine what has been causing her symptoms for the past five years. And the emotional toll has been considerable. In a second episode released alongside her return, Applegate opened up about experiencing a deep depression while processing the news. She also revealed that her health struggles have affected her career and continue to interfere with her everyday life. “I lost everything. I lost my job,” she said, becoming emotional as she described the reality of living with debilitating symptoms despite no longer having the diagnosis she once believed explained them. Applegate added that she still needs a wheelchair to attend medical appointments because she cannot walk from her car to the doctor’s office. “Nothing magical happened when she said, ‘You don’t have MS,’” she said. The actress also admitted to feeling as though she had let people down, given the community she had built with others living with MS. She and Sigler had become prominent voices discussing the condition and the challenges that come with it. Now, Applegate is struggling to understand where she fits into that community while also trying to find answers about her own health. “I had a reason. I had a f—ing reason as to why my day sucked every day,” she explained. “And now I don’t have a reason and it’s very unnerving and it’s very confusing for me.” Neurologist Dr. Marwa Kaisey joined the podcast discussion to explain that MS misdiagnoses can occur because there is no single test that definitively establishes whether someone has the condition. Instead, doctors evaluate a collection of diagnostic criteria. Applegate said she remains in a state of shock over the news, describing the experience as deeply unsettling. The actress first announced her MS diagnosis in August 2021 and has been candid about her health challenges ever since. Earlier this year, she reportedly spent several months hospitalized before returning home in August. She and Sigler temporarily paused the podcast in March, with Sigler subsequently recording episodes with guest appearances while Applegate focused on her health. Although Applegate has now learned that her original diagnosis was incorrect, the underlying problems remain unresolved. As she put it, she is facing “the same game with a different name.” For the actress, the next chapter is less about celebrating a diagnosis being ruled out and more about finding answers to the questions that have upended her life.

Reading Time: 3 minutes In The Shadow of Eight is out, it is a bestseller, and it portrays Kate Gosselin in an appropriately damning way. Those reading Collin Gosselin’s memoir are moved by his maturity, his suffering, and by the descriptions of cruelty by his infamous mother. There are loud calls to put Kate behind bars — a small slice of justice after everything that Collin recalled in his book. But many may feel surprised by his reply. (Image Credit: Page Six/YouTube) ‘It’s better to put it in the right places’ While speaking to Page Six, Collin weighed in on the growing number of people calling for Kate’s imprisonment. Does he agree? “I think if we could go around all day and try to put people in jail,” his answer began, “we’d be more hung up on them and not ourselves.” Collin continued: “And I think everything that I’m doing today in my life — working, going to school, taking on challenges like ‘Special Forces,’ and writing my story — your effort is sometimes better.” He rephrased: “It’s better to put it in the right places and invest that [effort] in yourself.” “Like I said, while we could run around and try to put everybody away,” Collin suggested. But, he argued, “I think our time is better spent working on ourselves and growing.” Collin affirmed: “That’s what today really is about for me.” It sounds like his argument is that the best revenge — or justice, in this case — is success. Or, at least, wellness. That may often be true. Others might counter that there are many forms of justice. Restorative justice can coexist with a system that excises the truly evil people from society. ‘I have every right to be angry for the rest of my life, but …’ In his memoir, Collin also delved into the heavy topic of processing his very reasonable anger towards Kate. “I could stay angry,” he acknowledged. “In my opinion, I have every right to be angry for the rest of my life.” Collin explained: “But I’ve learned that anger keeps me tied to the past, and I absolutely do not want to live there anymore.” Very understandable. “The other option is I could just…let it go,” he continued. “Not because what happened didn’t matter. But because I don’t want to carry it anymore.” Collin reasoned: “I don’t want to wake up every day in fight-or-flight mode or feeling pissed off.” It is clear that Collin has also undergone a tremendous amount of emotional processing as he continues the longer-than-it-should-be road to recovery from his childhood. He’s right that spending his time and energy on hating Kate as she deserves might not be fulfilling and won’t allow him to move forward and heal. When it comes to not joining the push to imprison her, there may be a pragmatic aspect to all of this. Simply put, the legal system seldom takes any real action to protect children from their parents, let alone to punish the parents. There exceptions, such as murders and CSA, but these are extreme cases. Kate was on video hitting Collin when he was a little kid. Police did not take action then. Why would they take action now? Until we live under a legal system that actually cares about children more than it does about “parents’ rights,” Collin is probably doing the smart thing by not investing his hopes in a justice that will likely never come. Living well is the best way forward. Does Collin Gosselin Want Kate in Prison for Abusing Him? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s been just over a week since RJ Mitte was found dead inside his Texas home. Now, we have new information about the Breaking Bad star’s suicide, including reports of tension with his fiancee, Kennedy Suarez. According a report from TMZ, the couple’s relationship became increasingly strained after Suarez moved from their home in Brownsville, Texas, to the Atlanta area in December 2025. The move was reportedly for work, even though her position was initially expected to be remote. (Photo by Tabatha Fireman/Getty Images) Sources told the outlet that Suarez never returned to Texas full-time, while Mitte was unwilling to relocate to Georgia. Their disagreement reportedly contributed to mounting tension between the couple. Mitte, who played Walter “Flynn” White Jr. on Breaking Bad, died at age 34 on October 12. A county official confirmed that the actor died by suicide. Sources told TMZ that Mitte had been struggling with his relationship with Suarez since at least August. They believe the situation contributed significantly to his emotional decline in the months leading up to his death. The outlet also reported that Suarez sometimes stopped wearing her engagement ring, allegedly explaining that she was afraid of being robbed. The couple had been friends for approximately a decade before their relationship turned romantic in 2020. Mitte proposed on October 10, 2025, about a year before his death. It remains unclear whether the couple officially ended their engagement before Mitte died. Their relationship reportedly faced additional complications involving the actor’s close-knit family. According to sources who previously spoke with TMZ, Suarez allegedly wanted Mitte to choose between her and his mother, Dyna Mitte, and sister, Lacianne. Mitte reportedly refused to cut ties with his family, contributing to the friction between the couple. Dyna has since acknowledged that her son was dealing with personal struggles, although she has emphasized that the details of his relationship were private. In comments reported by People, Dyna said she did not know all the conversations that took place between her son and Suarez. She also confirmed that the two had seen each other only three or four times after Suarez moved to Georgia. Suarez was absent from Mitte’s October 16 celebration of life in Brownsville. However, Dyna clarified that she had not personally told Suarez not to attend, explaining that no funeral plans had been made when Suarez reached out to one of Mitte’s friends on the day his body was discovered. The circumstances surrounding Mitte’s final months have prompted renewed attention to the actor’s personal life, but the full extent of what he was experiencing remains known only to those closest to him. His death has left family, friends, and fans mourning a beloved actor and activist taken far too soon. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Statistically, the vast majority of rapists do not even get a conviction — let alone a prison sentence. There are exceptions. Serial rapist Andrew Luster received a conviction and a 124-year sentence. It has not been 124 years, or even a fifth of that. Luster is now out of prison. How did this happen? (Photo Credit: State of California Department of Justice) This infamous case dates back a quarter of a century In 2000, authorities in LOCATION arrested Luster after a college student reported being drugged and raped at his home. Investigators who searched his home found that not only had he dosed women with GHB and raped them while they were unable to consent and unlikely to remember the crime, but he had also made video recordings — trophies of his crimes. Luster’s case gained media attention because of the evidence that he himself had preserved, but also because of his family wealth. He is the great-grandson of cosmetics mogul Max Factor. When he paid his $1 million bail, he also skipped town instead of showing up to defend himself at trial. As a result, the court convicted Luster of 86 felony counts en absentia in 2003 while he hid out in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. His sentences, should he be found and brought into custody, would be consecutive — meaning 124 years behind bars. Eventually, due to his flight from justice, the FBI issued a warrant. It was, oddly enough, Duane “Dog The Bounty Hunter” Chapman who captured him in June 2003. After both parties were arrested by authorities in Mexico. Luster was transferred to US custody. Chapman ended up fleeing Mexico to the United States. In March 2013, when Luster had served less than a decade of his richly-deserved sentence, the verdict was set aside on the grounds that the original court had failed to explain why the sentences were to be served consecutively. (That sounds self-explanatory — as Luster had drugged and raped multiple victims, all of whom deserve justice.) The court rebuffed the rapist’s attempts to overturn his convictions. However, he received a new sentencing hearing. His new sentence was for only 50 years behind bars. (Image Credit: CBS News) From 124 years to 50 years to about 20, somehow If you will check your calendars and do some simple calculations, you may find that it has not been even close to 50 years. Luster was denied parole repeatedly in recent years. Unfortunately, it did not last. On October 11, 2026, Luster was released He is now reportedly residing in the area of Glendora, California. Neighbors are unhappy. The mayor is unhappy. And the people of California are deeply dissatisfied to know that a serial predator who certainly has not become a better person during incarceration is out free after serving less than one-sixth of his original sentence. Some blame Proposition 57, a 2016 referendum in California that expanded early releases for non-violent offenders. Luster is a serial rapist and thus a violent offender. Then-governor Jerry Brown specifically highlighted his case to note that he would be ineligible under this law. A lot of people are simply flabbergasted that the system that should be protecting the American people is incarcerating people who have never harmed anyone while releasing monsters like Luster. There is a lot of debate over the best way to handle rapists. These predators rely upon people mistakenly believing that they made mistakes or misunderstood. It’s likely that Luster might have received a lighter sentence or no convictions at all if he had not personally recorded his crimes. Whether someone believes in abolition or expanding the death penalty or anything in between these extremes, we can hopefully all agree that unleashing Luster back into society is simply not the answer.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Hunter Schafer has entered an exciting new chapter in her life. The 27-year-old actress revealed that she underwent gender-affirming bottom surgery in December 2025, sharing the news in a new interview with Elle. Schafer had kept the procedure private until now, but she made it clear that she has no regrets about taking this step in her transition. (Photo by Kristy Sparow/Getty Images) “I just had bottom surgery in December, which was amazing, and I love it so much,” Schafer told the magazine. The actress also explained that the decision came after spending considerable time trying to embrace her body as it was. For years, she had appreciated the “gender-expansive” aspects of her identity and wanted to explore that part of herself before deciding whether medical intervention was right for her. “For a long time I’ve embraced the gender-expansive part of myself, and I really wanted to try to make that previous body work, because I thought there was something really cool and badass about it,” she explained. Ultimately, however, Schafer decided that undergoing surgery was the right choice for her. And she’s not shy about sharing how happy she is with that decision. Schafer also reflected on how her understanding of queerness has evolved over the years. While she once viewed her identity through a broader, more fluid lens, she now feels more grounded in how she identifies herself. “I’m a woman. I’m a girl,” she said, according to Elle. That doesn’t mean Schafer has abandoned her appreciation for the possibilities that come with exploring one’s identity. Rather, she has come to recognize the difference between how people think about identity in theory and how those ideas play out in everyday life. “Maybe it’s a good thing to share, for the tension I was talking about between those two worlds [reality and ideology],” she said of her decision to discuss the surgery publicly. Of course, the procedure also came with a lengthy recovery period. Schafer described renting a large apartment earlier this year so she could recover comfortably. She also had to significantly limit her movement while healing. “I think my limit was 150 steps per day, which is nothing,” she recalled. That’s a pretty dramatic change of pace for an actress whose career increasingly demands physical activity. Fortunately, Schafer has had opportunities to explore a different side of her abilities on the set of Blade Runner 2099, in which she stars alongside Michelle Yeoh. Schafer said she particularly enjoyed the action elements of the project because they allowed her to focus on movement rather than overthinking everything. Her latest revelation also comes after Schafer spoke publicly about the challenges transgender people face navigating government policies. In February 2025, the actress revealed that her replacement passport had been issued with a male gender marker after her original passport was stolen. She had previously changed the marker to female nearly a decade earlier. Schafer attributed the change to the Trump administration’s policies on sex and gender recognition, while acknowledging that her status as a white celebrity gave her certain advantages that other transgender people might not have. Still, she emphasized that the government’s decision didn’t change who she was. “I don’t give a f–k that they put an M on my passport,” she said at the time. “It doesn’t change anything about me or my transness.” Now, by sharing her experience with gender-affirming surgery, Schafer is offering another glimpse into her personal journey — this time, on her own terms.

(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Riehle accumulated dozens of film and television credits over the course of his decades in the industry. Some of his most high-profile film projects included Casino, Fried Green Tomatoes, The Fugitive, Mysterious Skin, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and The Man from Earth.

He played Santa Claus in numerous projects, including A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas and episodes of Two and a Half Men and The League.

Reading Time: 2 minutes As a fan, you never want your favorite celebrity to have to call you out on your behavior. Over the weekend, Taylor Swift and a couple of famous pals were cheering on her husband. Travis Kelce’s team played (and won) a football game. An intrusive fan distracted Swift — causing her to drop everything and handle the situation. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/WireImage) She was just trying to enjoy her husband’s game On Sunday, October 18, Swift watched from a luxury box seat while the Kansas City Chiefs faced off against the Los Angeles Chargers. As many Swifties have learned since this relationship took off over three years ago, football season is lengthy and includes both a pre- and post-season. This means that Swift spends a lot of time watching her her husband, Travis Kelce, playing. In her VIP suite at Arrowhead Stadium, Swift was not alone. In addition to securty and more, she had athlete Caitlin Clark and fellow musician Este Haim with her. Tragically, Swift’s joy of watching her husband run around on the field (his team handily bested the Chargers) was cut short. Or, at least, rudely interrupted. An unidentified individual, seemingly a fan despite her behavior, decided to snoop. She peered inside Swift’s VIP suite. Security spoke to discourage her — but to no avail. 🎥| Reminder that Taylor has always been courteous with fans but we need to respect her. You’re impeding on her right to enjoy the game if you’re pointing a camera at her face the entire game. In this instance she had to ask the lady to turn around. Please consider her wishes. https://t.co/R19BGzPdrW — Taylor Swift Updates 💎 (@swifferupdates) October 19, 2026 She had to personally discourage the ‘fan’ As you can see in the TikTok video, the woman pointed her phone directly at Taylor. It is unclear whether she was filming or photographing her. Either way, it was invasive — and Swift had had enough. Swift herself gestured for the woman to stop recording — seemingly encouraging her to focus on the game. The woman then went scrambling back to her seat. Fans on social media chimed in to support Swift’s actions. Obviously, fans and even just the curious can understand the impulse to want to get closer to a beloved celebrity — or even to film the interaction, for social media clout or to prove that it really happened. But this was crossing a boundary. Swift set the fan straight. Perhaps a rebuke from Swift drove the message home in the fan’s mind. Wanting to meet your fave is very different from wanting to be a minor antagonist in the story of their day.

Reading Time: 2 minutes We have tragic news to report from the world of fashion: Sahara Ray — the model and designer who made international headlines for her romance with Justin Bieber — has passed away. She was just 34 years old. (Photo by Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images for Lucky Brand) Ray’s family confirmed the heartbreaking news to TMZ on Monday, revealing that she died at a hospital the previous night. “She passed away last night, surrounded by family at the hospital. She was so loved,” her family told the outlet. Her cause of death has not been disclosed. The news comes just months after Ray welcomed her daughter, Snow Ray, marking a new chapter in the model’s life. The loss is especially heartbreaking given how recently she shared glimpses of motherhood with her social media followers. Ray built a following through her modeling career and online presence before launching her own swimwear label, Sahara Ray Swim. She also attracted widespread attention in 2016 when she was photographed vacationing in Hawaii with Bieber. The pair’s connection made headlines at the time, adding to Ray’s visibility in celebrity gossip circles. She was also previously linked to Australian singer Cody Simpson. But Ray’s life extended well beyond her famous romantic connections. The daughter of legendary Australian surfer Tony Ray, she spent much of her childhood traveling between Australia, California, and Hawaii. Those experiences helped shape the lifestyle and aesthetic that later became part of her public identity and swimwear business. In 2024, Ray opened up about a serious health struggle after revealing that she had been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that can affect movement and muscle strength. Ray said the condition left her partially paralyzed following a serious car accident. Her health journey became another deeply personal chapter she shared with followers as she navigated the challenges that followed. Now, news of her death has prompted renewed attention to her life and the difficult experiences she endured in recent years. Friends and fans have begun paying tribute to Ray on social media, remembering the model beyond her celebrity connections and online following. For those who followed her career, Ray was a familiar face in the modeling world who had built a business of her own. For her family, however, the loss is far more personal. Her daughter’s arrival had marked the start of a new chapter in her life and makes the news of her death particularly devastating. Our thoughts go out to Sahara Ray’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Reading Time: 2 minutes One of the most talented voices in music was changed forever. Selena Gomez is opening up about why her voice sounds so different. Unfortunately, at the center of it is an addiction. Even to this day, she acknowledges that the chemical dependency is “so hard to quit.” We’re rooting for her. (Photo Credit: Monica Schipper/Getty Images) ‘I vaped nicotine a lot’ On Sunday, October 18, Selena took to her Instagram Story to share an impactful video with her fans and followers. “I’m not going to be able to change my voice,” she began the video, speaking bluntly. Selena explained how her vocal cords became damaged over the years. “I vaped nicotine a lot,” she admitted. “And,” Selena emphasized, “nicotine is so hard to quit.” Selena Gomez describes how a nicotine addiction has permanently altered her voice. Even quitting vaping, which is an ongoing process, will not reverse the damage. [image or embed] — fanana hammock (@fananahammock.bsky.social) October 19, 2026 at 11:41 AM Selena warned her fans and followers that vaping or using any other nicotine product is “just not worth it.” She accurately described cultivating a nicotine habit. “It’s so stupid,” Selena lamented. “And,” she reiterated, “it’s changed my voice.” Selena added: So if you guys don’t like listening to my voice, that’s totally understandable; I don’t mind. Just don’t listen to it.” Quitting is ‘really hard’ but so worth it “But I am really excited because I stopped,” Selena emphasized. Of course, anyone who has ever had an addiction knows that this is seldom a one-and-done situation. “And,” she aspired, “I just hope I can keep it up.” Selena admitted: “It’s really hard.” Nicotine is one of the strongest addictions known — coming in just behind heroin (and other opiates) and crack cocaine. “But,” she encouraged, “I know if you are going through something, you can get through it too.” Nicotine addiction is somewhat normalized in our society. Some companies still have “smoke breaks” and designate outdoor smoking areas to facilitate their employees’ worst habits. Millennials (at least in America) were the least nicotine-addiction generation in decades — perhaps a century. Then, in the 2010s, when the youngest Millennials were still teens, the nicotine industrial complex churned out vaping. This time, it came with a puff of pleasant-smelling vapor instead of disgusting smoke from cigarettes. Gen Z appears to be the worst hit by this insidious product. If you’ve ever seen someone vape in line inside a restaurant, as if it were The Purge, you know how unhinged and normalized this addictive behavior has been. It is encouraging to see that Selena is in recovery for her addiction. We hope that many others follow her example.

Reading Time: 2 minutes Last month, Presley Gerber passed away at an addiction treatment center in Southern California. The son of model Cindy Crawford and brother of actress Kaia Gerber was just 27 years old. Now, as speculation about his final days continues to circulate, Presley’s loved ones are honoring his memory. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) “We are beyond heartbroken to lose our beloved son and brother. We feel so blessed to have had Presley in our lives for 27 years,” Cindy wrote on Instagram over the weekend. “He is a sweet, beautiful soul who loved and is loved, now and forever. We are so proud of how he showed up in the world, with kindness and vulnerability,” the model and actress continued. “We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from so many who know and love our family and even strangers who feel our pain. Til we meet again our sweet boy. We love you forever, Mom, Dad and Kaia.” Kaia later echoed those sentiments with a lengthy tribute in which she referred to Presley as “the one true love of my life.” “Prez, I don’t have the words, and maybe the tiny mercy is that we didn’t need them all along,” she wrote. “Words fail and words subtract and words summarize and words always lack truth. And how naive of me to believe that language could transcend grief.” “I’ve read all of the books and I have none of the answers. My articulation is no match against this, the magnitude of losing you. I am, quite literally, down on my f–king knees,” Kaia continued, adding: “You know how much I loved being your sister. It has always been, and will forever be, my favorite thing about myself. “I came into this world with a white-knuckle grip around you. I had more love for you than I knew what to do with. And now that it has nowhere obvious to go, I’m certain it’s going to swallow me whole.” Kaia later added this sentiment: “My best buddy, my great protector, the hardest I’ve ever laughed and the one true love of my life — you lit all my candles and took all of my monsters away. And I love you.” Clearly, Presley is greatly missed. And despite his troubles with the law and his well-documented substance abuse issues, the young model was obviously a source of comfort and stability to his family. Our thoughts go out to Presley’s loved ones as they continue to mourn his loss.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Rumors of her The Gentlemen involvement have been greatly exaggerated. Duchess Meghan Markle is an actress as well as a businesswoman. As she looks to return to acting, some are using this to their advantage. Did Netflix “leak” a fake rumor about her involvement in a show to boost interest? It sure looks that way. (Photo Credit: Christopher Furlong/Getty Images) Something about this only makes sense as a PR move The Telegraph reports that Meghan is decidedly not in talks to join Guy Ritchie’s The Gentleman for Season 3. Back in August, reports first came out suggesting that Meghan was neck deep in discussion to join the Netflix series. This makes a lot of sense. Meghan is an actress, recently returned to the UK, and might bring a personal touch to a show about a duke who served on combat deployments in Afghanistan. (Her husband, Prince Harry, is a duke who served on combat deployments in Afghanistan.) However, there was never any confirmation of the talks. In fact, numerous reports have cast doubt upon whether any part of this was true. “Some people in her camp feel she was used to help promote season two,” an inside source told The Telegraph. The insider explained that this is “because they knew it wasn’t as good as the first season and had already commissioned a third.” According to the source: “It’s the oldest marketing trick in the book: get a big name to read a script, then leak that you’re ‘in conversation’ with them when, in reality, nothing is particularly far along.” The insider dished: “The whole thing left a bit of a sour taste in the Sussex camp’s mouth.” One would imagine so! “Needless to say, Netflix got what it wanted: huge viewing figures for season two and a lot of publicity,” the source pointed out. (And, sure enough, Netflix renewed The Gentlemen for Season 3.) ‘The prospect of seeing her return to acting will drive big audiences’ By all accounts, Meghan is looking to pick up on acting. Her kids are still young, but neither Archie nor Lilibet are newborns.
