Steve Harvey drops F-bomb over outrageous 'Celebrity Family Feud' response
The host immediately apologized to the audience
By Tyler McCarthy Fox News
Published July 14, 2020 12:34pm EDT
Steve Harvey brought a recent game of “Celebrity Family Feud” to a halt when he dropped an F-bomb in disbelief over a contestant’s answer to a question.
Sunday's episode featured NFL Hall of Famers going head-to-head in the final round of the competition when Harvey became so vexed by Bruce Smith’s response to a question about Captain Hook that the timer needed to be paused while he, the contestants and the crowd recovered.
The moment in question happened during the “fast money” round of the game in which Harvey asked Smith, “If Captain Hook was moonlighting as a handyman, he might replace his hook with what tool?”

“A penis,” Smith blurted out.
Harvey quickly began reading the next question, as is his duty as host. However, he abruptly stopped once he realized what had just happened.
“What the f--- did he just say?” a confused Harvey asked.

With that, the audience exploded with laughter as the contestants leaned over in hysterics. After several seconds of uproarious laughter, Harvey began to apologize for stopping the game.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I swear I’m sorry, that just came out,” he said.
He even repeated the expletive, which was bleeped out by the censors.
“I’m sorry. Can we start over? I’m sorry,” he said. “Your a-- is going to be on YouTube, though. ... You’re going to be the greatest clip that’s ever played!”

Obviously Smith didn’t earn any points for the incorrect answer, but the rest of his guesses on the board helped earn his team $25,000 in donations to the Professional Athlete Foundation. | steve-harvey-f-bomb-outrageous-celebrity-family-feud-response_657fc348137c4ec8ac4700d37e93dfd6.png |

Kathy Griffin calls for doxing student's identities after viral video at Native American march: 'Shame them'
By Tyler McCarthy Fox News
Published January 21, 2019 9:01am EST | Updated January 22, 2019 4:43pm EST
Following a now viral video that shows an intense confrontation between high schoolers and Native Americans, actress and comedian Kathy Griffin is calling for the students to have their identities revealed so that she and others can hold them accountable for their actions.
Griffin took issue with the students of Covington Catholic High School on Sunday seeing as the video appears to show a group of them, many wearing “Make America Great Again” hats, harassing a group participating in the Indigenous Peoples March.
The Indigenous Peoples March in Washington on Friday coincided with the March for Life, which drew thousands of anti-abortion protesters, including the group from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky.
People on social media were quick to denounce the students as trolls, especially after it was revealed that the Native American who had a stare-off with one of the students, identified as Nick Sandmann, was Nathan Phillips.
However, debate still goes on as to who was truly at fault for starting the incident.
KATHY GRIFFIN REVEALS HER MOM MAGGIE HAS DEMENTIA: 'AT THIS POINT SHE ONLY KNOWS MY NAME AND I LOVE YOU'
“Ps. The reply from the school was pathetic and impotent. Name these kids,” Griffin said in a firey tweet Sunday morning. “I want NAMES. Shame them. If you think these f---ers wouldn’t dox you in a heartbeat, think again.”
In a different tweet, she once again called for the doxing of the students that appear in the video.
“Names please. And stories from people who can identify them and vouch for their identity. Thank you.”
Griffin is typically outspoken about her left-leaning political beliefs on social media. In addition to calling for the identities of possibly underage people to be made public online, she also laid the blame for the whole incident on President Trump, due in large part to the “Make America Great Again” attire.
KATHY GRIFFIN CURSES UP A STORM ON ABC'S 'THE VIEW' DURING PROFANE TRUMP RANT
“MAGA hats. Donald Trump has brought the worst out in our country,” she wrote prior to calls for the student’s identities.
Griffin is no stranger to getting online vitriol and even threats following her now-infamous photo shoot in which she posed with a fake severed head of Donald Trump. The star has previously said that the wave of online backlash she received tanked her career and future job opportunities.

“I didn’t commit a crime,” Griffin said since the incident. “I didn’t rape anybody. I didn’t assault anybody. I didn’t get a DUI. I mean, my God, there are celebrities that f---ing kill people.”
EDITOR'S NOTE: A previous version of this report identified Phillips as a Vietnam War veteran. That has since been found not to be the case. | kathy-griffin-calls-for-doxing-students-in-viral-video-shame-them_6b9debee81604b429f445974adf8982a.png |

Jason Mraz donating new album proceeds to social justice organizations
Associated Press
Published June 18, 2020 12:43pm EDT
Jason Mraz has a new album coming out and he wants everyone to buy it and love it. But he's not going to make a penny on it.
The two-time Grammy-winner has promised to donate all earnings from sales and streams of his reggae album “Look for the Good” — including his $250,000 advance — to groups working for racial equality and justice.
“This is bigger than me," Mraz tells The Associated Press from his ranch in Southern California. ”Now the CD itself has a purpose. The record itself actually can go out and serve."
Sales will fund Black Lives Matter, San Diego Young Artists Music Academy, RISE San Diego, Grassroots Law Project, Center on Policy Initiatives and Equal Justice Initiative.
SINGER JASON MRAZ OPENS UP ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY: 'I'VE HAD EXPERIENCES WITH MEN'
"For me, this is my cardboard sign up at the march. This is me putting my body and my music and my name on the line to say ‘I stand with this movement and I want to help move this down the field towards a more equal and just world,’” Mraz said.
“Look for the Good” will be released Friday, which also is Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. Mraz vows to make donations to progressive groups annually on Juneteenth.
“I’ve made plenty of quiet donations and that’s great. But I also want to inspire other leaders in business and other leaders in music to do the same,” he said.
JASON MRAZ SINGS TO PATIENTS AT ST. LOUIS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
The 12-track album was recorded last summer but finds itself quite prescient, with uplifting messages of togetherness and unity. “Something about reggae says, ‘You’re welcome here’ or ‘This is for everybody,’" Mraz said.
The album includes the song “You Do You,” a collaboration with actress Tiffany Haddish, who raps the line “We gonna march until our voices get heard.” On another song, Mraz sings: “We were born to love not hate/We can decide our fate.”

The roots of the album go back to the year Donald Trump won the White House and took on more importance with the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis last month.
“For me, it started with the 2016 election and feeling like such a shift and a loss of power and a rise of a sort of ugliness that still exists in the U.S.” he said.
“2020 is election year, so that’s really what prompted us to be like, ’Hey, 2020 is going to be an engaged year. There’s going to be debate. Things are going to happen. Who knows what. But what we need is to be prepared with some positive music,” Mraz said.
GARTH BROOKS DEBUTS NEW SONG ABOUT UNITY TITLED 'WE BELONG TO EACH OTHER'
To make the album, Mraz teamed up with producer Michael Goldwasser, founder of indie reggae label Easy Star Records who has also done remixes for Kelly Clarkson and Janelle Monae. Mraz's music has often dipped into reggae, but Goldwasser said a whole album showing off various sides of the music made sense.
“The things that Jason wants to sing about often make sense as reggae. Jason is all about making a better world and calling out social issues and how we can improve upon them,” Goldwasser said.
“I think of reggae as message music,” Goldwasser added. “Jason — whether he even intends this or not — can be a great conduit for other people to discover important and great music but also important messages.”
Mraz is best known for his 2008 hit “I’m Yours,” which got to No. 6 in 2008. His other hits include “Lucky” with Colbie Caillat, “I Won’t Give Up” and “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry).”
He currently lives in a rural avocado ranch in Oceanside with his wife, Christina Carano. “We have a little room to breathe, and we have food growing in the trees,” he said.
The new album has several nods to beloved TV icon Mister Rogers. Mraz is such a fan that he bought an autograph of the children's TV host on eBay just to have “his energy in my space.”
GRAMMYS CHANGING MULTIPLE AWARDS CATEGORIES, PROMISES 'TRANSPARENT AND FAIR' NOMINATION PROCESS
The cover of the album is also a call to be better. It includes a shinny surface, asking the audience to reflect. “Look in the mirror and look for the good,” he said.
Mraz joked that donating all profits from “Look for the Good” makes sense for him since he's a Sen. Bernie Sanders fan and a democratic socialist. “What good socialist would I be if I didn’t share my earnings to some degree?" he said.
"I’ve been very blessed. I’ve had a lot of great albums. I’ve had a lot of success. I’m in a privileged position where I can do this and I can help. So it feels good. Feels like the right thing to do.” | jason-mraz-donating-album-proceeds-charity_369768e8a7b143ca9981f8f6336d257c.png |

Madonna fans furious after she starts concert late
'Material Girl' singer performed at New York's Barclays Center on the opening night of her Celebration Tour in the U.S.
By Lauryn Overhultz Fox News
Published December 14, 2023 1:08pm EST
Madonna's tardiness on the opening night of the Celebration Tour in the U.S. left fans furious.
The performer took the stage on Wednesday about an hour late at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, after experiencing sound issues, Fox News Digital can confirm. The pop star sound checked nearly until the doors opened at 7:30 p.m., a source familiar with the matter said. The DJ opening for Madonna took the stage at 8:30 p.m. and the arena was about half full.
At one point during the concert, Madonna asked the crowd if they could hear her because she was hearing an echo in her earpiece, the source told Fox News Digital.

However, fans were not happy.
"I don't give a f--- if you're Madonna," one user wrote on social media. "If you're 3 hours late, you're just f---ing rude."
"I love Madonna but it's really f---ed up how she's literally like 2 hours late for her FIRST show in the us," another added.
"personally i would have went straight home after she was an hour late but i get that alot of people payed [sic] good money for their seats so i see why alot of people stay and wait," one noted.

The "Material Girl" singer is notoriously late for her concerts and was sued in 2019 for pushing back a Madame X tour stop in Miami. A fan attempted to get a refund after the concert was rescheduled from the original start time of 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., NBC reported.
"Ticketholders had to work and go to school the next day, which prevented them from attending a concert that would end at around 1:00 a.m.," the suit claimed, according to the outlet.

Before her current tour, Madonna was hospitalized on June 24 for a "serious infection."
"My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children," Madonna wrote on Instagram while recovering from home. "My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn't want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show."

Tom Brady gets support from Gisele Bündchen in new Instagram after divorce
Brady and Bündchen announced their divorce in October
By Caroline Thayer Fox News
Published November 27, 2022 2:19pm EST
Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen are proving to the world that they can be the paradigm of friendly and supportive exes in a new social media exchange.
Brady took to Instagram to share a photo of his son Jack, 15 whom he shares with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynihan at a Tampa Bay Buccaneer's practice.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion captioned the photo "My inspiration" with two red heart emojis.
Bündchen, who has son Benjamin, 12 and daughter Vivan, 9 with Brady, liked the photo of Jack, as well as commented on the post.

SIGNS TOM BRADY AND GISELE BÜNDCHEN WERE HEADED FOR THE END ZONE
The Brazilian supermodel added a red heart under her ex-husbands photo.
Prior to their divorce, Bündchen had spoken candidly of her relationship with Jack.
In an interview with People Magazine from 2018, she said of him, "I couldn’t imagine my life without [Jack]. I call him my bonus child."

Bündchen's most recent post to her own Instagram feed dates back to August 22, Jack's 15th birthday.
At the time, she wrote alongside a photo of her three children, "Happy birthday sweetest Jack!! 15 look great on you! I wish you all the most wonderful things in the world. You are so loved by all of us. Te amo."

At the beginning of the football season, Jack and his siblings attended their father's football games, although Bündchen remained absent, leading to speculation their relationship was on the rocks.
On October 28, the couple announced they had gone their separate ways.
At the time, Brady wrote on his Instagram story, "In recent days my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage. We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve."

A.J. Calloway is leaving the syndicated entertainment news show “Extra” in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations.
Warner Brothers issued a statement on Wednesday saying the company has investigated the claims into Calloway’s conduct and he and the company “have mutually agreed to part ways.” The statement did not say when the agreement was made.
The company had investigated prior accusations against Calloway and found no suggestion of workplace misconduct. But the 44-year-old was suspended in February after Warner Brothers became aware of additional allegations.

Samantha Hoopes Thanks GQ, Budweiser Debuts Super Bowl Ad, and Much, Much More
By Fox News
Published February 3, 2016 8:41am EST | Updated February 21, 2017 4:03pm EST
Here's what's happening, folks:
• After GQ announced her as their current Instagram crush, Sports Illustrated model Samantha Hoopes reblogged a bodacious bikini photo from GQ and thanked them in the caption (above). In related news, your cousin Brandon also declared Hoopes as his Instagram crush, but instead of getting a personal thank-you, all of his followers just thinks he's creepy.
• At the risk of also sounding creepy, Samantha's pic reminds us of our interview with Hannah Davis, whose will go down in history as maybe the most controversial of all time. Watch the clip below to learn why she showed her "core" rather than her "booty" and — oh goodness, we're getting creepy again, aren't we?
• CBS is reportedly planning a reboot of the '80s TV series "MacGyver," which was about an experienced secret agent who could solve any sudden problem with his vast knowledge of engineering. This time, though, the series will focus on a modern-day twentysomething who can solve any sudden problem, presumably with his vast knowledge of Twitter, Snapchat and cat memes.
• Budweiser has already debuted their socially conscious Super Bowl ad featuring "Trumbo" actress Helen Mirren, in which she likens drunken-drivers to "pillocks, "selfish cowards" and a "human form of pollution" (below). And we have to admit, it's very effective, both in deterring drunken-driving and sending us to the dictionary to look up "pillock."
• The Recording Academy revealed on Tuesday that Lady Gaga will be performing an "experiential" tribute to late musician David Bowie at the 2016 Grammy Awards. We're not sure why it's billed as "experiential," though perhaps it's because Gaga has plenty of experience in wearing eccentric spacesuits à la Ziggy Stardust.
• CBS announced on Tuesday that James Corden, the host of "The Late Late Show With James Corden," has been chosen to host the 70th annual Tony Awards in June. That said, we can probably expect Corden take the entire Tony Awards audience for a sing-along in his minivan:
• Earlier this week during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet admitted that her character of Rose in "Titanic" was responsible for the death of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio). "I think he could have actually fitted on that bit of door," she stated, which is word-for-word what we've been screaming at our TVs for almost two decades now.
• In an interview with Glamour magazine, Gwyneth Paltrow vented her frustrations with Goop detractors who claim the site is too expensive, saying, "We sell things that are $8." Granted, those things include squirrel-shaped paperclips and sriracha sauce that should cost half what they do, but they are around $8 nonetheless.
• Entertainment Weekly as debuted the first trailer for actor/director Don Cheadle's upcoming Miles Davis biopic named "Miles Ahead" (below), which means Cheadle wisely ignored the film-title suggestions we sent him last month, which included "Miles Per Hour" and "Give Him An Inch and He'll Tale a Miles Davis."
• And finally, as announced by North Dakota's governor, former "Battle Creek" actor Josh Duhamel has been named "the face of North Dakota" by the state's tourism board. However, the governor has yet to announce when the good people of North Dakota plan to carve Duhamel's face into the side of a mountain, like their southern neighbors did with those four old guys. | samantha-hoopes-thanks-gq-budweiser-debuts-super-bowl-ad-and-much-much-more_e413c64d32e54014a4af1d28173e2a37.png |

Mel Gibson and Ex-Girlfriend Reach Settlement
Associated Press
Published August 27, 2011 1:26am EDT | Updated November 20, 2014 5:39pm EST
Los Angeles – Mel Gibson and his ex-girlfriend have reached a financial and custody settlement of a bitter dispute that spawned a criminal case and left the Academy Award winner's reputation damaged.
Los Angeles Superior Court officials said in a statement late Friday that Gibson and Russian musician Oksana Grigorieva had reached an agreement after days of negotiation. Terms and conditions of the settlement were not announced, but a hearing Wednesday will be held to discuss the financial terms.
The equally contentious issue of custody of the couple's infant daughter will be handled in closed session, the court announced.
Gibson's spokesman Alan Nierob confirmed the settlement and said the actor-director appreciated the judge's help in mediating the case.
Grigorieva spokesman Stephen Jaffe declined comment.
The former couple have sparred for more than a year over custody and financial issues in a mostly-secret court proceeding in Los Angeles. In June 2010, Gibson's attorney Stephen Kolodny said that his client had provided his ex-girlfriend with a four-bedroom, multimillion dollar home, vehicle and tens of thousands of dollars a month.
It is unclear exactly how much Grigorieva has been receiving since then.
The "Braveheart" star was charged with misdemeanor domestic battery as a result of a January 2010 fight with Grigorieva and pleaded no contest earlier this year. The actor-director entered his plea in a way in which he admitted no guilt, and Grigorieva cannot use the outcome in a civil case.
He was ordered to undergo counseling and recently completed his community service by volunteering with a children's charity in Guatemala.
The case became an international story after recordings of racist and sexist rants by Gibson were leaked to the celebrity website RadarOnline.com. Sheriff's officials took possession of the recordings as part of their criminal investigation, but Grigorieva's attorney announced in May that he would no longer seek to use them against the former Hollywood superstar in the custody case.
The coming days could prove crucial for Gibson to resolve some of the messiness of his personal life in recent years.
Gibson, 55, recently reached a divorce settlement with his estranged wife, Robyn, and his attorney announced in June that the case should be finalized by Tuesday.
Robyn Gibson filed to end her nearly 28 year marriage in April 2009, just months before Grigorieva gave birth. The divorce has been a mostly private affair, in sharp contrast to Gibson's fight with Grigorieva.
Gibson announced Grigorieva's pregnancy to Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show," but their relationship sputtered after the girl's birth.
In recent months, both have appeared multiple times in court for hearings and meetings with a judge handling their case. Gibson has not publicly spoken about the case.
The leaked conversations recorded by Grigorieva were the latest scandal for Gibson, who was arrested in 2006 for drunken driving; a deputy's report revealed he made a series of anti-Semitic and sexist slurs while in custody.
Despite positive reviews for his performance as a deeply depressed man who can only communicate through a puppet, Gibson's return to the big screen in "The Beaver" earlier this year failed to catch on with audiences. | mel-gibson-and-ex-girlfriend-reach-settlement_7d2c4d69124e493893e9427d220faa57.png |

George Lopez to Star & Produce New Latino Sitcom

GLO is back and in full Latin swing!
The actor and TV host is the executive producer of a new comedy/family sitcom of a Latino family, Deadline.com reports.
Lopez, whose late night show, Lopez Tonight flubbed and was cut off the air last year, will be signing a deal with Debmar-Mercury (a subsidiary of Lionsgate) to get the new show underway.
Once the deal is finalized and inked with Debmar-Mercury, Lopez and his presumed, Michael Rotenberg, will begin searching for a network to give his new project a home.
Deadline said Lopez will have ownership of the new sitcom.
Celebrities Who Once Were Undocumented
Last year TBS canceled “Lopez Tonight’ George Lopez's nightly talk show, and the only late-night offering hosted by a Latino. It was in its second season.
The comic gave up his 11 p.m. time slot to make room for Conan O'Brien, who joined TBS after leaving NBC's 'Tonight' show. The plan was for TBS to have a one-two punch of late-night shows that would particularly appeal to young viewers.
As expected, Lopez wasn’t overjoyed with the news that his talk show was cancelled.
When ABC cancelled his previous sitcom, 'The George Lopez Show' in 2007, he had some choice words for the network and its decision. He believed that his show was cancelled because it was owned by Warner Bros. and not by ABC and scoffed at one of the network's new shows called "Cavemen."

"I get kicked out for a...caveman and shows that I out-performed because I’m not owned by [ABC]" Lopez said, according to the L.A. Times blog. "So a...Chicano can't be on TV but a...caveman can?"
"And a Chicano with an audience already? You know when you get in this that shows do not last forever, but this was an important show and to go unceremoniously like this hurts. One hundred seventy people lost their jobs," he said.

Berlin’s Terri Nunn was almost Princess Leia, but she still takes our breath away
By Mike Mettler , Fox News
Published May 9, 2014 7:21am EDT | Updated April 20, 2016 6:25pm EDT
NEW YORK – Berlin frontwoman Terri Nunn came by the FOX411 studios to sing “Nice to Meet You,” the seductive single from the band’s EDM-inspired new album, "Animal." Once everyone toweled off, Nunn sat down with FOX411 to tell us how the band helped pioneer electronic music stateside, what it was like to dominate MTV’s video rotation in the ’80s, and how she almost landed the female lead in Star Wars.
FOX411: You can see a through-line from bands like Kraftwerk, Ultravox, and Berlin with what’s happening now in electronic music. How do you feel about being a part of that legacy?
Terri Nunn: Proud. At the time, what we were doing wasn’t what was going on. It was the power-pop era: Skinny ties, the Plimsouls, the Motels, the Knack, and the Go-Gos… and we weren’t that. In the beginning, we really believed in it and we kept going, and then we got better as writers. Eventually it caught on, and it’s morphed into all kinds of electronic music. I’m really proud to have been a part of that, the beginning of it happening in America.
FOX411: “Nice to Meet You,” the song from "Animal" that you sang for us in the studio, has an EDM feel to it. How did you get into EDM?
Nunn: In 2012, a station in L.A. called KCSN gave me my own radio show for 2 hours on Saturday nights called “Unbound.” They let me play whatever I wanted, so I started listening to electronic music in every form. And EDM, to me, is one of the most exciting forms of electronic music that I’ve ever heard. It’s sexy, it’s completely unique, and it’s so intense. The sounds that Skrillex does, I’ve never heard before.
I mean, look at Nine Inch Nails — Trent Reznor’s sound started with a Roland TR-808 drum machine, and that was our whole first album ["Pleasure Victim," 1982], because we couldn’t afford anything else. So I thought there was a place for Berlin to have a voice in all this. And that inspired me to create "Animal."

FOX411: Berlin’s first hit, “Sex (I’m A),” comes from a strong, empowering female point of view. How did you decide to write it that way?
Nunn: Thank you! What a compliment! I wrote the song because I was in a relationship where we were at a crossroads, sexually. It wasn’t exciting. It wasn’t bad, but we were kind of bored, just going through the paces. I came in one day and said, “Well, why don’t we try role playing? I could be a damsel in distress, and you could be a pirate.” And he said, “Terri, I don’t want to do that. I’m not a burglar; I’m not a vampire; I’m just a guy.” I was like, “OK.” (laughs) So I wrote this song as a kind of slap in his face: “I’m this, I’m that, I’m a geisha, I’m a little girl, I’m a dream divine — and you’re just a guy.” And that’s what the guy sings through the whole song: “I’m a man.” Because that’s all he wanted to be.
FOX411: Does he feel like a man now?
Nunn: He did feel like a man, because he knew it was him in the song! Yeah, he loved it. (laughs)
FOX411: And then we had “The Metro,” which came with a high-concept, high-rotation video. How did you feel about having to be a video vixen in the vortex of the prime MTV era of the ’80s?
Nunn: It’s interesting you say “having to be a video vixen,” because I thought it was fun. It was another way to express the music. But there was an upside and a downside. The upside was, MTV had 24 hours to fill and not a lot of content on hand because nobody believed in it. We were one of the only bands making videos at that time, so the good side was they just kept putting our videos on over and over because they had to fill the time. The downside was, we had to play to them. If they didn’t like something, it didn’t get played, and we had to edit the video to fit their taste. Kowtowing to a corporation like that wasn’t fun. But now with YouTube, you can do whatever you want, as long as it’s not porn. (laughs)
FOX411: Before Berlin took off, you were an actress. And there was one potentially huge movie role where you almost got to wear the cinnamon rolls on your ears when you auditioned to be Princess Leia in "Star Wars."
Nunn: Yes, I had a huge shot at being in "Star Wars." George Lucas had no money at the time, and I remember I kept going back to this warehouse. You can see it on YouTube if you type in “Terri Nunn Star Wars audition” — I’m sitting in a deck chair next to Harrison Ford and saying things about R2D2 and Chewbacca, and Darth Vader is coming, and we really have to go… I didn’t know what an R2D2 was, or what he was talking about because it all hadn’t been created yet. (laughs)
George went with Carrie Fisher, and I’m so happy he did, because I would have never had this job as a singer if that had happened. Bless his heart, George has always been supportive of me. But I never would have had my dream come true of being in a band and making a living making music. I probably would have turned into a drug addict, upset that my life hadn’t turned out the way I wanted it to.
FOX411: Well, you got back into movies in a different fashion, by having an Oscar-winning song, “Take Me Breath Away,” in one of the biggest movies of the ’80s, "Top Gun." One of the things [we] like most about it is you took what could have been some very stilted lines and drew out the syllables to help bring out the song’s true emotion.
Nunn: I’m surprised you even know that, because you never heard the demo, and the demo was exactly that. Giorgio Moroder is an amazing writer, but for that song, the demo was very stilted. The melody was (sings in a staccato, robotic style): “Watching every motion/in my foolish lover’s game/On this endless ocean/finally lovers know no shame.” I was not the biggest or most popular singer to audition to do that song, but I think I got the opportunity because I elongated the melody so that it would be more romantic and beautiful (sings with each syllable drawn out): “Watching every motion/in my foolish lover’s game.” I just kind of pulled it out and made it swim over the music, instead of chopping through it.
FOX411: It must remain one of your favorite songs to sing today.
Nunn: “Take My Breath Away” is great for me for so many reasons. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, because people keep licensing it and using it for everything from "Borat" to the television show "The Goldbergs." Everybody has a different memory and personal history with it. That’s why I like singing it live, because I look at people and see how they go into a zone where they were when they first heard it — their first kiss, their first child, their first time having sex. It’s a soundtrack — not only to the movie, but to people’s lives. I get to experience what “Take My Breath Away” does for other people every night I sing it. It’s beautiful.

Jana Kramer recalls 'blow up' fight with husband Mike Caussin that made her cry
'The Good Fight' author revealed during her podcast that they'd fought over childcare
By Nate Day Fox News

Jana Kramer is talking about the ugly side of marriage.
The 37-year-old singer took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an image of herself crying, revealing it was the result of a fight she had with her husband, Mike Caussin.
"Nothing is perfect. This was a few weeks ago in Canada," she began in the lengthy caption. "I took this picture to almost remind myself that even though in the moment it seems like everything is doomed it’s not."
She continued: "We talked about our blow up on this weeks podcast and I think it’s an important one for everyone to hear. No relationship is perfect and when blow ups or fights happen sometimes we believe it’s done and over but really it’s a moment for growth and more understanding and to lean into your partner."

The star, who hosts the "Whine Down with Jana Kramer and Michael Caussin" podcast with Caussin, has been very open about the struggles in their marriage in the past, including her former football pro husband's struggles with sex addiction and cheating.

"Now when you’re in the middle of the fire it’s hard to lean in and see that but just know it’s not the end of the world. And we all have these moments so ur not alone," the "One Tree Hill" alum said in the Instagram post. "Fights happen. No relationship is perfect.. Now the Important thing is in the end are you fighting the good fight together?"
She then concluded by assuring fans that they're "not alone in [you're] struggles."

During a recent episode of their podcast, Caussin, 34, revealed that he had been feeling frustrated over taking care of their children -- Jolie Rae, 5, and Jace Joseph, 2 -- while the actress was filming a movie in Canada.
Kramer said that Caussin tossed "mean words" her way that she was struggling to forget, according to E! News.

Prince Harry's 'Spare' fallout: Meghan Markle is a great actress, says royal insider
Columnist Neil Sean weighs in on Prince Harry's long-awaited memoir as it hits bookshelves
By Neil Sean Fox News

COMMENTARY: If you are the CEO of Penguin Random House and the one that signed the ex-royal known as Prince Harry you, yes, even you, must be wondering what exactly you got for all those bucks. And the shareholders, looking at declining profits in a difficult market, may be looking at this laughable book as a ghastly mistake.
Pity the staff at the publisher who must be wondering where the ax will fall now that it's failed to hit the mark and recoup any initial costs from the multimillion-dollar dish out.
JR Moehringer is the ghostwriter with the dubious honor of having the willpower to sit and listen to the dross, all the while turning it into a book. He deserves a medal, and yet somehow has turned this into a potboiler that would make a 1940s Joan Crawford script seem like a Pulitzer Prize winner.
JR tries his best, but as we see page after page what stands out is this rip-roaring dullness of Prince Harry and his cable TV actress wife Meghan Markle, lost in a world of therapist speak and claptrap that is totally unrelatable to the wider audience.

PRINCE HARRY TALKS KING CHARLES PATERNITY RUMORS IN NEW BOOK 'SPARE'
Half the problem is the story, or lack of one. Harry is vastly privileged and can’t get over the fact that he managed to land, at best, a dubious B-list actress with an ill grip on reality. Now, people can claim what they wish, but Meghan Markle lying openly to the British courts about the involvement with "Finding Freedom" speaks volumes about her character and what this book reveals is that he believes anything and everything that is placed before him via Meghan Markle.
No matter how cheap the book is, and it's cheap now despite the bestseller lists, etc., where does Harry go from here? From attacking the queen to dishing on Kate Middleton, no stone is left unturned in regard to this dire story, but one has to wonder, where does Harry go next?
Let’s not forget his new Netflix show about leaders died quickly, and even the trashy reality TV show dropped out of the top 100 faster than the speed of light.

Make no mistake though, Meghan Markle is one hell of an actress. Yes, you heard right, after all she has convinced Harry of so many things, and he believes them.
The funniest to me was this quote from Harry about how he took his actress wife to the grave of his late mother Princess Diana and very quietly and serenely, he caught her placing her hands on the gravestone and, eyes closed, asking for, not the code for the safe with the diamonds or the missing tiaras, oh no, but guidance. I mean really.

The other howler was how he suggested to her that it would not be a great idea to have her picture at the Taj Mahal like his mother did with this famous and global picture that, unless you were living in a cave with Bin Laden, everyone has seen. Not Megs though. Oh no, she stood wide-eyed and misty and claimed she had never seen it.
The whole thing is a joke, I mean she knew Princess Eugenie and yet Harry claims she had no idea that Prince Andrew stood next to the queen when they first met at a function. So make no mistake, love is blind but in the case of Prince Harry, also add in stupid, too.

It's said that Harry, after having a fight with his brother Prince William in Nottingham Cottage – and this is an important detail as it fills words and pages up – ran not to his family or indeed his wife, but to his therapist, who he claimed helped him, yet at the same time failed to help his wife who had suicidal thoughts and received no help.
Remember well, that is the problem. Full of inconsistencies and one-sided stories, and so like all dish-and-tell books that fail to rise, this one will be the biggest turkey in many years that Penguin has been left with.

While Harry is counting his millions, the bigger cost is what has he truly done to himself, as you will note this is his story and not Meghan Markle’s, albeit she had the very final say on how this played out to make her look a victim in a vastly privileged world. Once she has done with him he could find, like his book, he may just be left gathering dust on a shelf that no one now wishes to pick up or even look at. | prince-harrys-spare-fallout-meghan-markle-great-actress-royal-insider_4b397053a0254df9a4d9e890e550ae4c.png |

Twin YouTube stars Alan and Alex Stokes charged with false imprisonment, swatting
The brothers each face up to four years in prison should they be convicted
By Nate Day Fox News
Published August 6, 2020 3:15am EDT
Alan and Alex Stokes, popular YouTube pranksters, have been charged with false imprisonment and swatting after police responded to what they thought was a bank robbery.
In October 2019, the 23-year-old twins allegedly dressed in all black and carried duffel bags as they feigned having just robbed a bank while being filmed, according to the Orange County, Calif., District Attorney's Office.
YOUTUBE STAR JAKE PAUL'S CALIFORNIA HOME RAIDED BY FBI IN CONNECTION WITH ONGOING FEDERAL INVESTIGATION
The two are accused of ordering an Uber to drive them away, but the driver refused. A witness believed the social media personalities had actually robbed the bank and were attempting to carjack the Uber.
When the police arrived, they ordered the driver out of the car at gunpoint before they determined he was not involved and released him.
The brothers received a warning before being let go.
According to the release, however, the two performed a similar prank just hours later on the University of California, Irvine, campus, again prompting a call to the police.

"These were not pranks," DA Todd Spitzer said. "These are crimes that could have resulted in someone getting seriously injured or even killed. Law enforcement officers are sworn to protect the public and when someone calls 911 to report an active bank robbery they are going to respond to protect lives."

He continued: "Instead, what they found was some kind of twisted attempt to gain more popularity on the internet by unnecessarily putting members of the public and police officers in danger."
Both Alan and Alex have been charged with one felony count of false imprisonment effected by violence, menace, fraud, or deceit and one misdemeanor count of falsely reporting an emergency.

Former 'Vanderpump Rules' star Stassi Schroeder pregnant after being fired from show
By Nate Day Fox News
Published June 14, 2020 1:22pm EDT
Despite being fired from "Vanderpump Rules," Stassi Schroeder still has something to look forward to: the former reality star is expecting her first child with fiancé Beau Clark.
In a statement obtained by Fox News on Tuesday, Schroeder's rep, Steve Honig, said: “Stassi and Beau will be welcoming their first child the first week in January and are grateful and eager to begin the next chapter of their lives as parents.”
According to Us Weekly, which first reported the news on Saturday, Schroeder, 31, and Clark, 40, were spotted out and about in Los Angeles, Calif., on Friday with a visible baby bump.
'VANDERPUMP RULES' STARS STASSI SCHROEDER, KRISTEN DOUTE ISSUE APOLOGETIC JOINT STATEMENT AFTER FIRING
The news comes just days after Schroeder was fired from the reality show "Vanderpump Rules" after past racially insensitive actions resurfaced.
Cast members Kristen Doute, Max Boyens and Brett Caprioni were also let go.
The firing came about after former "VPR" cast member Faith Stowers revealed in a recent interview that Schroeder and Doute once called the cops on her in 2018 and tried to pin crimes on her she didn't commit.
Stowers said that an article was posted online of an African-American woman who was allegedly wanted for theft, and Schroeder and Doute thought Stowers looked like the woman and reported her.

“There was this article on Daily Mail where there was an African-American lady,” Stowers said. “It was a weird photo, so she looked very light-skinned and had these different, weird tattoos. They showcased her, and I guess this woman was robbing people. And they called the cops and said it was me. This is like, a true story. I heard this from actually Stassi during an interview.”
Schroeder was also dropped from multiple brand sponsorships such as shaving brand Billie and vitamin startup Ritual. In addition, the “Next Level Basic” author was dropped from her PR company, UTA, as well, according to Page Six.
Both Schroeder and Doute have apologized since the news broke.
Schroeder said, "My emotions over something that happened between our friends outweighed my logic, and there is no excuse for that… What I did to Faith was wrong. I apologize and I do not expect forgiveness.”

While Doute said: “Although my actions were not racially driven, I am now completely aware of how my privilege blinded me from the reality of law enforcement’s treatment of the black community, and how dangerous my actions would have been to her… I’m ashamed, embarrassed and incredibly sorry. I will do better. I have to do better.”
Meanwhile, Boyens and Caprioni apologized on the recent Season 8 reunion.
Boyens, who is the general manager of TomTom, said: "I'm an adult now, and I cringe even thinking that I said those things... I just want to say I'm just really, sincerely sorry. I'm not even -- there's no excuse."

Caprioni, a waiter at SUR, said: "It's something I regret deeply, and it was just kind of making jokes with each other, like we'd literally be in the same room and just say stupid s--- to each other, and it was a dumb f---ing thing to do. I'm doing my best to move forward and be the best person I can be, and try to emulate [sic] that to everybody else."
Reps for Schroeder declined to comment and reps for Clark did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

'Blade Runner' falls below box office expectations to horror flick "Death Day'
Associated Press
Published October 15, 2017 5:01pm EDT | Updated October 16, 2017 10:33am EDT
The box office might be struggling this year, but the horror genre is alive and well.
This weekend the "Groundhog Day"-like horror pic "Happy Death Day" scored a first-place finish, surpassing expectations and blowing the much costlier and star-driven "Blade Runner 2049" out of the water.
Studio estimates Sunday show "Happy Death Day" took in $26.5 million from 3,149 North American theaters. With a $5 million production price tag, "Happy Death Day" is already a hit.
With a PG-13 rating, the film scored big with younger audiences — 63 percent were under 25.
It's the latest success story from Blumhouse Productions, which earlier this year released "Split" and "Get Out," with the help of Universal Pictures, which distributed.
Jim Orr, executive vice president of domestic distribution for Universal, said "Happy Death Day" is an original film that's reimagining the genre.
"It's as much thriller as it is horror film. It's scary, it's funny, and it has an extraordinarily clever script that is very well executed," Orr said. "Blumhouse owns this space no doubt about it, and they do this better than anybody consistently."
The film also had the benefit of coming on the heels of the massive success of "It," which has earned $314.9 million domestically to date. The "Happy Death Day" trailer played in front of "It" at theaters, which "exponentially increased" audience awareness, said comScore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
Horror continues to be one of the bright spots during a roller-coaster year at the box office.
"This is a horror gold rush at the theaters," Dergarabedian said. "It's been perhaps the most consistently positive story this year."
One film that does not look destined for a happy ending is "Blade Runner 2049," which fell 54 percent in its second weekend in theaters, adding $15.1 million to bring its domestic total to $60.6 million.
The film was a costly endeavor with a production price tag north of $150 million and was reviewed favorably by critics. But it couldn't manage to draw in significant audiences beyond the fans of the 1982 original, which was also a flop upon release.
Jackie Chan's "The Foreigner" debuted in third place with $12.8 million from 2,515 screens, while "It" landed in fourth place in its sixth weekend in theaters.
The Kate Winslet and Idris Elba disaster pic "The Mountain Between Us" rounded out the top five with $5.7 million.
Other new releases landed outside the top 10. The Thurgood Marshall biopic "Marshall" took in a promising $3 million from 821 theaters.
"Marshall is off to a solid start," said Open Road Films CEO Tom Ortenberg in a statement. "We expect Marshall to hold very well and run well into the fall."
But the Wonder Woman creator biopic "Professor Marston and the Wonder Woman" failed to capitalize from the massive success of "Wonder Woman" earlier this year. The film earned only $737,000 from over 1,200 locations.
"Goodbye Christopher Robin," about author A.A. Milne and the creation of the beloved children's books and characters, also got off to a poor start with $56,000 from nine theaters.
"October is off to a slow start," Dergarabedian said.

Bill Cosby's Florida standup performance greeted with standing ovation
Associated Press
Published November 21, 2014 9:04pm EST | Updated April 5, 2016 5:52pm EDT
As Bill Cosby's standup tour crumbled with shows canceled in six states, the embattled entertainer took to the stage Friday in Florida to a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd.
Performances in Oklahoma, Nevada, Illinois, Arizona, South Carolina and Washington State, though, were called off as more women come forward accusing the entertainer of sexually assaulting them many years ago.
The director of The Broadway Center in Tacoma, Washington, said Friday that it has canceled Cosby's April 18 appearance because it conflicts with the nonprofit organization's mission "to strengthen our community's social fabric by building empathy, furthering education and sharing joy."
"We were not confident in our ability to meet those objectives by proceeding with Mr. Cosby's performance," David Fischer said.
Cosby's lawyer has said claims by four women are untrue; a statement from Cosby on Sunday dismissed most of the others as "decade-old, discredited allegations."
A sold-out show in Melbourne, Florida, Friday night went on as planned. The 77-year-old comedian, wearing cargo pants and a shirt that said "Hello Friend," took the stage to a standing ovation and loud applause. One person shouted, "We love you, Bill."
Outside the theater, only one protester could be found. She held a sign that read, "Rape is no joke."
Julie Lemaitre, 47, of Rockledge, Florida, said she was there just to have a presence and to try to say to people attending "think about what you're doing."
Cosby's producers said at least 28 other shows remain on his schedule through May 2015.
But officials at the Treasure Island hotel and casino on the Las Vegas strip said Friday they mutually agreed with the comedian to cancel his Nov. 28 performance. No reason was given by the Diamond Desert casino in Tucson, Arizona, for canceling his Feb. 15 show.
Two other appearances, scheduled for April in Champaign, Illinois, also were called off Friday, as were February shows in Reno, Nevada, and in Florence, South Carolina, a January show at the Choctaw Casino Resort in Oklahoma.
A few fans in Florida, though, said they were at the Maxwell C. King Center For The Performing Arts to see good comedy and that the accusations didn't influence them.
"Let them prove it. It's old accusations," said Paul Palmieri, 47, of Melbourne, who said he was ready to see "the king of comedy."
Jim Millican, 67, of Cocoa, Florida, agreed.
"These women if they want to settle it, they should settle it in court," he said, noting that prosecutors didn't bring charges.
Still, projects on NBC and Netflix have been canceled, and TV Land decided not to air reruns of "The Cosby Show" after recent allegations by more than six women that Cosby sexually assaulted them after giving them pills many years ago.
Josette Tornabene, 24, of Melbourne said she bought her ticket Friday for the show there, motivated by a radio station that was offering $1,000 to interrupt the performance. Before the show, an announcer warned that such a disruption was possible.
"I wanted to see someone call him out," she said. "I want to see him be held accountable."
Some of the women accusing Cosby are going public again after initially coming forward around 2005, when Andrea Constand filed a civil suit alleging that she was sexually assaulted by him. The Pennsylvania woman's lawyer said other women were prepared to make similar claims, but the case was settled before trial.
Tamara Green, a California attorney, was among those who had agreed to testify. She later said Cosby tried to sexually assault her in her Los Angeles apartment around 1970, when she was a model and an aspiring actress.
She said Cosby asked her to help him raise money to open a private dance club. When she got sick shortly after starting the project, she said Cosby gave her two pills that made her almost lose consciousness, took her to her apartment, undressed her and then took his clothes off.
"I got really angry," she told The Associated Press in an interview on Friday. She recalled screaming and trying to break a window with a lamp as she fought off Cosby's advances. He eventually left, leaving two $100 bills on her nightstand, she recalled.
"I think that my blood pressure and my fury was keeping me from losing consciousness," she said.
Another woman, Joan Tarshis, decided to tell her story publicly for the first time on Monday.
Now 66, Tarshis said Cosby gave her drug-laced drinks twice in 1969, forcing her to perform a sex act the first time and raping her the second time. She said she told no one about this for decades, and only decided to go public when she read a Nov. 13 column in The Washington Post by Barbara Bowman, who alleges she was drugged and raped by Cosby when she was 17.
"I actually spoke with Barbara Bowman yesterday," Tarshis told the AP on Friday. "It was great. Because she's a person who understands what I've been through."
Cosby's representatives have broadly dismissed the accusations. He has never been charged with any such crime. Cosby himself has consistently refused to comment on it.
"We don't answer that," Cosby told the AP this month. | bill-cosbys-florida-standup-performance-greeted-with-standing-ovation_11a12f229f60456f9ffcf2dcea44662d.png |

EXCLUSIVE: Advance man for 'Amazing Race,' 'Whale Wars' fatally poisoned in Africa, source says
By Meagan Murphy , Fox News
Published February 21, 2012 3:09pm EST | Updated June 23, 2015 12:58am EDT
Tragedy has hit a team in charge of facilitating challenges for “The Amazing Race” and other reality shows on the continent of Africa, a source close to the show tells FoxNews.com.
At least two freelance facilitating producers were poisoned -- one fatally -- after a failed shakedown attempt, the source told FoxNews.com.
FoxNews.com also spoke with a person who identified herself as a family member who said the facilitator who died was Jeff Rice.
The family member said Rice's body was found in Uganda.
Details are sketchy, but the source said that after refusing to give in to the demands of local thugs, Rice and another facilitator ended up very sick with poisoning of some kind.
Rice was not currently working on “The Amazing Race,” but he had worked on Season 20, which premiered on CBS on Sunday. Rice had also worked on Animal Planet's "Whale Wars" and the South African version of "The Biggest Loser," along with several other series and television movies.
A rep for Jerry Bruckheimer Films, the production company behind “The Amazing Race,” said that he had “no knowledge” of the incident.
CBS had no comment.
Facilitators are typically local people hired by production companies to make necessary arrangements with local officials before producers come in to shoot scenes for their shows.
“The Amazing Race” features multiple teams of two competing in a race around the world to win $1,000,000 in prize money. The series became a sensation when it first aired on CBS in September 2001 and continues to be one of the network's highest rated shows. | exclusive-advance-man-for-amazing-race-whale-wars-fatally-poisoned-in-africa-source-says_1ef1d61a1d724c3991d51ce8ef39d311.png |

Toby Keith opens up about country music today, gun control and abortion

Toby Keith opens up in an interview about country music today and his lengthy career. (Reuters)
Toby Keith opened up about his lengthy career, which began 25 years ago with his first hit “Should’ve Been a Cowboy.” The singer said country music stars at the time said his music “was not country enough.”
“What's crazy about it is that when we were coming out, the old-timers were griping at us, saying we weren't country enough,” Keith told the Los Angeles Times. “But you compare it to country music today and my album is almost hillbilly-sounding.”
Keith, 56, said he would not do “hip-hop country” just for a quick hit because it “wouldn’t be true to myself.” The Los Angeles Times noted the singer has not had a No. 1 hit since 2011.

“It wouldn't be true to myself. Just because the songs that we've always written aren't working and aren't getting played right now doesn't mean that I have to go do something else,” he said.
“Everybody gets their window; everybody has their time. I'm not gonna rail against the machine. These kids got every right in the world to make their living. If that's what's selling, then that's what it is. [In the '90s] they were punching us in the face, saying we were too pop, and I swore I'd never be that guy,” he continued.
The “Made in America” singer said he feels understood by his fans but said people loved him “for the wrong reasons.”

“And as many people that have painted me in a corner, there's people standing in that corner ready for me to paint in there,” he said.
CYNTHIA NIXON SAYS THERE WAS A ‘SEX AND THE CITY’ SCENE THAT LEFT HER DEVASTATED
Keith, whose music relies heavily on nationalism, was known for his public feud with country band the Dixie Chicks especially after group member Natalie Maines criticized President George W. Bush regarding the Iraq War, the Washington Post reported.
When asked if he ever had “the urge to lay out his views as clearly” as he could, he replied: “That's a losing battle. You're never gonna reach enough people in any interview to avoid being misrepresented,” Keith said.
The singer recalled his favorite interview being with journalist Dan Rather of CBS News. Keith said Rather “bailed” him out of a question from his producers. The question was, “How do you feel about making money off the flag?”
Rather pointed out that American orchestra Boston Pops “play all patriotic songs on the Fourth of July, and people pay to get in to see that.”
When asked about “justifying gun rights in a world beset by mass shootings” Keith said he did not know how to fix the issue.

“That's one of those topics — and I'm not dodging the question — it's one of those things we live with every day. It's like one of the biggest struggles that I have on abortion is abortion. In my heart I don't like it. But in my mind I agree with a lot of the situations where it should be. I understand [the well-being of] the mother. And somebody says, ‘Hey, a 12-year-old got raped by a convict — you want her to carry that baby?’ It's such a big, gray world, and with those issues like that — I know how I feel inside, but I don't know how to fix none of them. I'm not that guy,” he concluded. | toby-keith-opens-up-about-country-music-today-gun-control-and-abortion_b787a5ccaa0c4ae0a11a2a122e59227c.png |

Pete Davidson asks fans to sign $1 million NDA before attending comedy shows: report
By Nate Day Fox News
Published December 1, 2019 12:44pm EST
Pete Davidson is taking extra precautions to protect his comedy shows.
The "Saturday Night Live" star, 26, is reportedly making attendees of his shows sign a $1 million nondisclosure agreement before admission.
One fan, who attended a show at the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Fransico, posted screenshots of the contract and detailed its demands on Facebook, according to Consequence of Sound.
PETE DAVIDSON SAYS LOVE LIFE 'NOBODY'S BUSINESS,' CLAIMS HE 'GOT RID OF THE INTERNET'
"I got an email today informing me that in order to see this show I have to sign a nondisclosure agreement," the post said. "In that NDA the signer CANNOT GIVE ANY INTERVIEWS, OPINIONS OR CRITIQUES about it in ANY form whatsoever including blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or any other social networking."

The poster also claims that the contract gives Davidson's team the right to confiscate, seize and destroy any phones or cameras that breach the agreement, and that any breach will require a $1 million payment in damages and legal fees.
"I understood and was willing to consent to the initial request of locking up any phones or cameras brought to the event, but I think this a bit ridiculous and over the top," she said. "I get that comedians are protective of their jokes and don’t want their routines rebroadcast, but it’s rather Orwellian to not allow anyone to share an opinion on it. Don't perform for the public if you don't want people to have an opinion about it!"

Consequence of Sound alleges that the NDAs have been employed by Davidson since at least November 7, when he performed in Minneapolis.
Sources were able to confirm to Variety that Davidson intended to hand out the NDAs at a Chicago show on November 30, as well.

Morgan Wallen's album 'Dangerous' tops Billboard chart for fifth week after slur scandal
Wallen's songs were removed from radio stations and streaming services took his music off their top playlists.
By Jessica Napoli Fox News
Published February 15, 2021 9:28am EST
Country star Morgan Wallen's sophomore album "Dangerous: The Double Album" is number one on the Billboard 200 chart for the fifth week amid his racial slur scandal.
According to Billboard, "Dangerous" sold 150,000 units in the U.S. last week (ending Feb. 11) and his 2018 album "If I Know Me," was also in the top 10.
Wallen has asked fans not to downplay the racist language he was caught saying on camera and said that he accepted the punishments he faced.
TMZ posted a video in February of Wallen saying a racial slur and Wallen apologized at the time. Wallen posted a five-minute Instagram video on Feb. 10 saying he had let so many people down, including his parents and his son.

"Our actions matter. Our words matter. And I want to encourage anyone that is watching to please learn from my mistake. There’s no reason to downplay what I did," he said.
The musician said he was waiting until he could personally apologize to people he had hurt. He said that the video was taken after a three-day "bender," but he has since gotten sober.

Wallen said that he accepted invitations from Black organizations, executives, and leaders to have honest conversations.
"They offered me grace and they also paired that with an offer to learn and to grow," he said.

Wallen also said he accepted any punishments that he faced. Wallen's songs were removed from radio stations, streaming services took his music off their top playlists and his record label suspended him.
But many of his fans responded to the backlash by buying up more of his records and continued to stream him.

In response to the surging sales, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Jason Isbell announced that he was going to donate money that he makes from Wallen's cover of his song "Cover Me Up" to the NAACP.

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski apologizes for using homophobic slur to describe Mike Pompeo
By Brian Flood Fox News
Published December 12, 2018 12:52pm EST
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski apologized on Wednesday for using a homophobic slur when describing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a “butt-boy.”
Brzezinski took issue with Pompeo’s recent comments to Fox News regarding Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s involvement in the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
“Why doesn’t Mike Pompeo care right now?” Brzezinski asked. “Are the pathetic deflections that we just heard when he appeared on ‘Fox and Friends,’ is that a patriot speaking, or a wannabe dictator’s buttboy? I’m dead serious. I’m asking, are these the words of a patriot?”
A viewer took to Twitter, calling the remark “as homophobic a term as I’ve heard on national morning television,” noting that MSNBC did not include the slur in its closed captioning. “Maybe don’t equate homosexuality with Mike Pompeo carrying water for the murderous regime in Saudi Arabia,” the viewer wrote.
Brzezinski agreed and quoted the tweet while offering an apology. She also apologized to Senator Dick Durbin, who was on set.
“SUPER BAD choice of words,” she wrote. “I should have said ‘water boy’... like for football teams or something like that.. apologize to @SenatorDurbin too! SO SORRY!”
MSNBC did not immediately respond when asked if the network condones or plans to do anything about Brzezinski’s comment.
Fox News’ Janice Dean took notice and responded to Brzezinski on Twitter.
“This apology isn’t good enough. Not a simple oops moment. It’s deeply disturbing,” Dean wrote.
Brzezinski isn’t the first MSNBC star to make homophobic remarks.
Joy Reid infamously claimed hateful and anti-gay rhetoric on her pre-fame blog was planted by diabolical hackers – a claim that quickly fell apart. Reid had even said she reported the hacking “crime” to the FBI. She eventually kinda-sorta admitted writing homophobic slurs.
Back in April, Reid got emotional on the air and admitted it seemed unlikely she was hacked, but that she didn’t recall making the offensive remarks, for which she apologized anyway.
“I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things,” Reid told her viewers, adding, "The person I am now is not the person I was then."
MSNBC stood by Reid and she continues to host a show on the network. | msnbcs-mika-brezezinski-apologizes-for-using-homophobic-slur-to-describe-mike-pompeo_f7633b9ae38945508795ee1c5fa4abd9.png |

Jason Derulo says Jordin Sparks kept him from sinking into depression following neck fracture

Jason Derulo says girlfriend Jordin Sparks kept him from sinking into depression following a serious spine injury. And after four and a half months of being in a neck brace, Derulo said performing his new single “Undefeated” during the "American Idol" finale performance show Wednesday felt like a second chance.
“I am two weeks removed [from the neck brace] and tonight’s performance was invigorating," he told FOX411's Pop Tarts column. "It was like a second chance at life, I had a great time up there."
Derulo shared how the last four months have held their challenges.
“This experience was crazy because I could literally not be standing here right now. I could really be in a wheelchair or not be here at all in the situation," he said. "[The accident] taught me to love life and live everyday like it’s your last.”
The “In My Head” singer suffered an acute fracture to his vertebrae in January, the result of landing on his head during rehearsals for his international tour.
Luckily for Derulo, he had his girlfriend, "American Idol" alum Jordin Sparks, to keep him in good health and good spirits.
“Just her being there when she could have been anywhere else in the world was an impact for me," he said. “I guess the best way to put it is that she was the backbone to the situation, a lot of people get really low into crazy depression and stuff like that but when you have someone it makes everything so much better.”
Earlier this year, when the pop power couple confirmed their relationship to People magazine, Derulo said his accident brought the pair closer.
“She lives in Phoenix and she comes [to Miami] and takes care of me, brings me breakfast in bed and she'll go on walks with me," he said. "It's awesome to have someone you can talk to and she's a wonderful person."
The two differ, however, on who will be this year’s "American Idol" winner.
“If I was voting tonight I would vote for Jessica, I am team Jessica. Jordan is actually team Philip," he said.
The two have even placed bets and if Sparks guesses the winner, he has to cook for her, a feat for the singer who says: “I can’t even cook a hot dog.”
And if Derulo wins, Sparks has to give him a 10-minute foot massage.
“She hates feet," he says. | jason-derulo-says-jordin-sparks-kept-him-from-sinking-into-depression-following-neck-fracture_007bfcdea56e403fb924ab9f02f4f6e0.png |

'Game of Thrones' star Joseph Gatt sues DA George Gascon and LA for $40 million over false pedophilia claims
The actor was arrested and charged with having 'online sexually explicit communication with a minor across state lines' but the charges were dismissed in February
By Ashley Hume , Tracy Wright Fox News
Published April 6, 2024 12:37pm EDT
"Game of Thrones" star Joseph Gatt is suing Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, the City of Los Angeles, L.A. County and others for $40 million after being arrested and charged with having "online sexually explicit communication with a minor across state lines."
The 52-year-old actor was arrested in April 2022 and released the same day after posting a $5,000 bail. Gatt vehemently denied the allegations at the time, and the charges were dismissed in February.
On Thursday, Gatt filed a lawsuit in federal court claiming that a "thoroughly botched criminal investigation" based on "the uncorroborated word of a then-16-year-old, admittedly obsessed fan of Gatt" caused the "intentional destruction" of his career and reputation after he was "publicly branded as a serial pedophile," according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

The lawsuit named Gascón, L.A. County, L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Angela Brunson, LAPD Detective Denos Amarantos and the City of Los Angeles as defendants.
'GAME OF THRONES' ACTOR JOSEPH GATT ARRESTED FOR CONTACT WITH A MINOR FOR SEXUAL OFFENSE
"Defendants, using threats, intimidation and coercion, and with no cause, let alone probable cause, subjected Gatt—a successful actor with numerous film and television series credits, including Game of Thrones and Banshee, among many others — to an utterly baseless arrest, unlawful detention, unlawful search and seizure of property, and malicious prosecution in which Gatt was alleged to have electronically communicated with a minor in a sexually explicit manner," the documents stated.
In the lawsuit, Gatt claimed that the arrest and investigation were due to the alleged actions of a teenage fan, referred to in the documents as "Jane Doe," whom he "did not know and has never actually met."
The documents stated that the defendants did not interview "Jane Doe" until almost a year after Gatt was arrested, charged with "baseless crimes" and labeled a serial pedophile.

According to the documents, a friend of the fan surprised her in October 2020 with a Cameo video from Gatt in which he wished her a happy 16th birthday. "Jane Doe," who lived in Washington state, contacted Gatt on Instagram to thank him for the birthday wishes.
The teen continued to message Gatt on Instagram for the next two to three months, and he "responded in a manner that was wholly appropriate and consistent with typical celebrity-fan exchanges," according to the lawsuit.
"Unbeknownst to Gatt, throughout this time Jane Doe was an admittedly obsessed fan who was already using a naked picture of Gatt — a still image from his appearance on the television show ‘Banshee’ that Jane Doe herself had apparently sought out and downloaded from the internet — as her phone’s lock screen even before Gatt had ever had any interaction with her," the documents claimed.
"Gatt also learned much later that Jane Doe had professed that she had sexual dreams involving Gatt, and had also apparently downloaded from the internet pictures of Gatt from his appearance on the television show Z Nation and photoshopped a fake tattoo of her own name onto Gatt’s right bicep," the lawsuit added.
"Without Gatt’s knowledge, and apparently using software readily available on the internet for the specific purpose of creating fake social media conversations to trick and impress friends, Jane Doe thereafter wholly manufactured fake conversations between herself and Gatt via the social media platform Snapchat that were sexual in nature and pure fantasy," the lawsuit continued.

According to the lawsuit, Jane Doe's older sister found the fake Snapchat messages, took photos of them with her own phone and sent them to a police department in Washington. The documents stated that investigators referred the case to the LA DA and the LAPD in December 2021 after learning Gatt didn't live in Washington.
The lawsuit accused the defendants of failing to confirm that the "obviously fake" photos were real before Gatt was arrested and charged.
"Gatt was arrested and prosecuted based solely on unauthenticated pictures of social media conversations displayed on an unidentified phone screen that, on their face, were highly suspicious and facially untrustworthy," the documents stated.
In addition, the lawsuit alleged that Deputy District Attorney Brunson "sought to destroy Gatt based on nothing more than bias and personal animosity" stemming from political differences.

According to the documents, Brunson and Gatt are both active members of the high-performance sports car community in L.A., and the deputy district attorney's boyfriend worked at a motorsports tuning store that the actor frequented.
"Gatt was well known in the high-performance sports car community generally, and to DDA Brunson specifically, for his liberal political beliefs, including his vocal support for the Black Lives Matter movement and for LA County District Attorney George Gascón," the documents said.
"Like the vast majority of the high-performance sports car community, DDA Brunson espouses conservative political beliefs that are the polar opposite of Gatt’s beliefs, and she was also a vocal critic of Gascón despite working for him at the LA DA."
The lawsuit alleged that Brunson "ignored the glaring red flags" in the evidence against Gatt before having him arrested and prosecuted.
Last summer, Brunson left Gascón's office for a position at the Riverside County District Attorney’s office.

In the documents, Gatt stated that he had lost professional opportunities after the defendants issued a statement to the press in which he was branded as a serial pedophile.
"Gatt was immediately cancelled and what had previously been a burgeoning acting career was destroyed," the complaint reads. "Gatt’s agent and PR representatives dropped him immediately, he was fired from two different movies in which he had already been cast, and he was also recast in a third movie in which he had been hired to play the lead role.
"Moreover, at least two other movies he had already filmed almost totally cut his scenes or reshot them with different actors, and he was not invited to attend the premieres. Gatt immediately stopped receiving any further role offers or audition opportunities, and instead received numerous death threats and was stalked and chased by a Daily Mail reporter."
The documents stated that Gatt had hired a private forensic investigator to examine the evidence. The lawsuit alleged that the defendants refused to allow the investigator to present his findings in court and had the case dismissed.

According to the lawsuit, Gatt has not worked as an actor since the arrest and had to sell his high-performance car, a Ford Shelby GT 500, to cover his legal expenses.
"As a direct result of Defendants’ reckless investigation and malicious prosecution, Gatt has suffered immeasurable mental anguish and emotional distress that made him physically ill, and his reputation has been utterly destroyed," the lawsuit claimed.

According to the lawsuit, Gatt is seeking "to recover the more than $40 million in damages that he has suffered as a result of Defendants’ violations of his constitutional rights."
Representatives for the L.A. District Attorney's Office and the LAPD did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Dean Z. Pamphilis, a partner with Kasowitz Benson Torres LLP and Gatt's attorney wrote, "The arrest and charges against Mr. Gatt—for which he was branded by the Los Angeles DA and LAPD as a serial pedophile — were based on fabricated evidence."

"Twenty months later, when the fabricated evidence was finally disclosed to Mr. Gatt and Mr. Gatt’s forensic expert were prepared to expose the truth in open court, the Los Angeles DA voluntarily dismissed the criminal complaint," Pamphilis continued. "Mr. Gatt, however, had already lost his community, his acting career and his personal reputation. We look forward to recovering Mr. Gatt’s enormous losses in court."
Gatt is represented by Pamphilis, J. Michael Wilson, Daniel A. Saunders and Sara Wolfe.
The actor played Thenn Warg in the fourth season of "Game of Thrones." He also is known for portraying "The Albino" in the Cinemax action show "Banshee." Other credits include roles in movies including "Black Adam," "Dumbo," "Titanic 666" and "The Retaliators."

Kelly Dodd blasts Andy Cohen for saying she's 'on the wrong side of history' for COVID-19 comments
Dodd claims she was let go from the Bravo TV show because of her 'conservative' views
By Melissa Roberto Fox News
Published September 15, 2021 8:31am EDT
"Real Housewives of Orange County" alum Kelly Dodd is calling out Andy Cohen for his past criticism of her comments about COVID-19.
Dodd seemingly opened up old wounds with the Bravo host on a new episode of her podcast in which she claims Cohen "came after" her after she tied the knot in October 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"Andy Cohen came after me. Because we had our wedding on 10/10 then filmed the reunion?" Dodd, 45, says in the episode, out Wednesday, via The Sun.
"He was like ‘how dare you go travel and have a wedding in a pandemic? How could you?’" Dodd recalled. "I was told I’m on the ‘wrong side of history’ for wanting kids in schools, trying to sell two of your homes in New York and Florida and here I am… three times as many cases now.

"But I was told I’m on the wrong side of history," she concluded.
Dodd was let go from the Bravo reality TV show. In June, she claimed the reason was because of her "conservative" views.
In the comments section of the fan Instagram account @realhousewivesfranchise, a fan wrote, "Why were you fired? Because of your bullying."
Dodd fired back, "No because I'm conservative! That's why I got fired pure and simple."
In another post on social media, Dodd blamed her castmate Braunwyn Windham-Burke, who is also not returning for next season along with Elizabeth Lyn-Vargas.

"This was your fault," Dodd wrote to Windham-Burke, 43, in text messages. "We’d still be on the show if you didn’t make things so dark and ugly and brought all that political ‘woke’ BS.'"

"Your lies about me, calling me a racist and a homophobe were horribly destructive and your phony storylines didn’t help either," she added.
Meanwhile, Dodd and Cohen exchanged words last fall when the two got into a feud on-air during the show's reunion episode. At the time, Cohen, 53, alleged he received messages about Dodd's "uneducated" views about the pandemic, including "putting out misinformation, and behaving like a moron" because of her desire to see businesses reopen amid the pandemic.
Dodd, however, reacted by claiming that she's received rebukes of her own about Cohen, such as messages that he's "anti-American."
"That you put your political beliefs out there, that they don't want to watch a political show," she claimed.

It was revealed in June that Dodd, Braunwyn Windham-Burke, and Elizabeth Lyn-Vargas would be leaving the reality show, while former cast member Heather Dubrow would be returning. Dubrow left the franchise in 2017 after five seasons. Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, and Emily Simpson are also returning.

Racially insensitive language hurt some cast members' reputations in the CBS game "Big Brother," but it may not have been bad for television ratings.
Contestants on this season's "Big Brother" have been caught on the game's 24-hour-a-day Internet feed making boorish remarks. Some were shown Sunday on one of the program's television broadcasts.
In a slow week, Sunday's show had the biggest audience that "Big Brother" has seen this season. But it's unclear how much of the audience — if any — was drawn by the controversy over the remarks.
One of the contestants twice made insulting remarks about blacks. Another insulted blacks, gays and Asians. | big-brother-racist-remarks-seemingly-boost-ratings_25b0be725a614926b3d24b63150e9dba.png |

MIAMI – Model-turned pin-up photographer Bunny Yeager is returning to the spotlight.
Yeager, now 83, was a photographer at a time when men dominated that profession. But she used that to her advantage, making the everyday woman feel comfortable enough to bare it all.
She says models knew she "wouldn't push them to do nude if they didn't want to do nudes." All of the models, including then-unknown Bettie Page, wanted to pose for her.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Yeager was one of the top fashion models and photographers, publishing about a dozen books. When several magazines began to struggle or went out of business, though, Yeager was no longer in demand.
More than 40 years later, 40 framed prints of her work are now on display in a gallery in Miami. | model-turned-pin-up-photographer-bunny-yeager-returns-to-spotlight-after-50-years_1408b735cf9a4156a398926ab67c05c3.png |

David Blaine's Miracle Snow Plow Blizzard Baby

Magician David Blaine and his pregnant fiancée Alizee Guinochet had to hitch a ride to the hospital on a snow plow after she went into labor and Blaine couldn't make a cab appear during the blizzard.
Guinochet, a 24-year-old French model, went into labor last Wednesday night, just as another heavy storm crippled the city with 19 inches of snow.
When Guinochet started to have contractions, illusionist Blaine, 37, jumped into action, heading out of his Village apartment, hoping to conjure up a cab. But none appeared. "The doorman and people on the street tried to help him flag down a taxi. But there were absolutely no cars on the road," said a source.
Go to NYPost.com's Page Six for more celebrity gossip.
Then, an increasingly panicked Blaine tried calling several car services, but couldn't get any to come out in the storm, despite begging them and saying his baby was on the way, our source related.
Finally, a snow plow run by a private contractor came around the corner, and Blaine flagged it down. The driver scooped up the couple and gave them a ride to the hospital.
By night's end, Guinochet had given birth to a healthy baby girl. The couple aren't ready yet to reveal their baby's name, but a rep for the lovebirds, who confirmed they had to ride to an unnamed Manhattan hospital on a snow plow, said, "Mom and baby are doing fine."
Blaine and Guinochet got engaged in 2009 after dating for less than a year. "They didn't date long, but they knew it was right," said a source. "It was an instant attraction."
The couple, who announced in September that they were expecting, haven't announced a wedding date yet, but a source said, "they could not be more in love."
Blaine is known for his death-defying stunts, including being frozen inside a block of ice for 63 hours in 2000. In 2006, he submerged himself in a tank of water for seven days in a water-filled sphere in Lincoln Center, ending that trick by holding his breath for seven minutes. | david-blaines-miracle-snow-plow-blizzard-baby_bc9d05fc1c434d0d9da3b1d2b26c677b.png |

Attorney Weighs Whether to Use Mel Gibson's Racist Rant During Custody Trial
Associated Press
Published May 12, 2011 1:27pm EDT | Updated April 8, 2016 6:19pm EDT
Mel Gibson with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, whose sister allegedly leaked tapes of Mel's rants.
LOS ANGELES -- An attorney for Mel Gibson's ex-girlfriend told a judge he may not introduce a series of taped racist and sexist rants by the Oscar winner during the couple's bitter custody dispute.
The move comes a week after lawyers for Oksana Grigorieva said the Russian musician was dropping her claims that Gibson physically abused her for the purposes of their custody case.
Attorney Daniel Horowitz said Thursday that the recordings were more relevant for a domestic violence restraining order, which Grigorieva is no longer seeking.
A Los Angeles judge agreed to temporarily halt the case so Grigorieva's attorneys can appeal a ruling allowing Gibson's attorneys to remain on the case. Grigorieva asked to disqualify them because she had consulted with a partner of one of the actor-director's family law attorneys. | attorney-weighs-whether-to-use-mel-gibsons-racist-rant-during-custody-trial_d2340181027d428d88480ba7594e06b0.png |

'Sister Wives' polygamy case to be heard at appeals court
Associated Press
Published January 21, 2016 10:15am EST | Updated April 28, 2016 5:05pm EDT
Lawyers for a family made famous by the TV show "Sister Wives" are set to ask a federal appeals court on Thursday to uphold a ruling that decriminalized polygamy in Utah.
The case is scheduled to come before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver after the Utah Attorney General appealed the ruling that struck down key parts of the state law banning polygamy.
State attorneys say they don't plan to charge plaintiff Kody Brown and his four wives if the law stands, but it should stay on the books because it helps curb abuses like underage marriage.
The Brown family says their reality show "Sister Wives" shows polygamous unions can be as healthy as monogamous ones. They argue that making marriages like theirs a crime violates the right to privacy and freedom of religion.
The family won a legal victory in 2013, when U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups found that a key part of Utah's bigamy law forbidding cohabitation violated the Brown's right to religious freedom and struck it down. Bigamy, or holding multiple marriage licenses, is still illegal.
The decision was hailed as a landmark case that removed the threat of arrest for plural families, but Utah said that it could weaken their ability to go after polygamists like jailed leader Warren Jeffs.
Prosecutors pointed to Jeffs, who is in prison after being convicted of assaulting underage girls he considered wives, as evidence that the practice can be associated with crimes such as sexual assault, statutory rape and exploitation of government benefits. Even though Utah has a longstanding policy against prosecuting otherwise law-abiding adults in polygamous marriages, prosecutors say outlawing the practice helps investigators gather evidence and strengthens cases against other abusers.
The Browns counter that there are other laws on the books against those crimes, and banning the practice can sow distrust of authority.
Their attorney Jonathan Turley has also pointed to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage, saying it shows laws restricting consensual adult relationships are outdated even if certain unions are unpopular.
There are about 30,000 polygamists in Utah, according to court documents. They believe polygamy brings exaltation in heaven — a legacy of the early Mormon church. The mainstream Salt Lake City-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints abandoned the practice in 1890 and strictly prohibits it today. | sister-wives-polygamy-case-to-be-heard-at-appeals-court_c75d00a13b044348a845fb455a3d55c2.png |

Lisa Rinna details husband Harry Hamlin’s past romance with Ursula Andress: ‘She got pregnant that night'
He said Andress called him and said, ‘Harry, come to my room'
By Stephanie Nolasco Fox News
Published August 14, 2020 1:13pm EDT
Lisa Rinna got candid about husband Harry Hamlin’s former romance with Bond girl Ursula Andress.
The 57-year-old opened up to Denise Richards, Sutton Stracke and Garcelle Beauvais on Wednesday’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” while admiring the architecture around Rome.
People magazine reported the reality TV star remarked how the Los Angeles home she shares with Hamlin, 68, “looks a little bit like this because Harry lived there for three years and he loves this.”
“He was with Ursula Andress at the time and they had a child, she lived there,” Rinna explained, as quoted by the outlet. “They were doing ‘Clash of the Titans’ together.”

Andress, now 84, is a Swiss model, sex symbol and actress best known for her role as Honey Ryder in the 1962 James Bond film “Dr. No” alongside Sean Connery as 007.
Rinna, who described Andress as “the movie star that you would imagine,” told her castmates she made a move on Hamlin while the pair were filming together in Europe.
“He said she called him and said, ‘Harry, come to my room,’” shared Rinna. “And so he did, at 28 years old, he went in and she got pregnant that night. And that was that, at 44. First time.”
Andress and Hamlin welcomed a son named Dimitri in 1980. According to the outlet, the couple stayed together for three years before calling it quits in 1983.

“I was always very possessive,” Andress told People at the time. “And for Harry, his career is the main thing. Love affairs and husbands can end, but a child is forever. Dimitri is my love now.”
Hamlin was married to Laura Johnson from 1985 until 1989, followed by Nicollette Sheridan from 1991 until 1992. He and Rinna tied the knot in 1997.
Rinna and Hamlin share two daughters: Delilah Belle, 22, and Amelia Gray, 19.
In late 2019, Hamlin admitted to The Daily Beast he was initially hesitant about doing RHOBH, which Rinna has starred on for five seasons.
“I have my divorce lawyer on speed dial,” said Hamlin of what he told Rinna when she first approached him about doing the series.
“I have had three opportunities to use him: once with Ursula, and two of my ex-wives,” he explained. “It’s the same guy every time. We send Christmas cards to each other every year.”

“I said to Lisa, ‘You can’t do this. Everybody who does that show gets divorced. It’s a horrible, horrible thing, to do that show,’” he continued.
It would take another real housewife to make Hamlin sing another tune.
“Bethenny [Frankel] convinced me from a branding point of view it would be a good thing to do,” said Hamlin. “Then I was open to doing it on my own terms.” | lisa-rinna-harry-hamlin-ursula-andress-real-housewives_5e44a3d0883a44a59decf10a223fe136.png |

Blake Shelton to curb alcohol in New Year, joining Hollywood stars trying sobriety
Ashton Kutcher, Tom Holland and Valerie Bertinelli have all participated in Dry January

Published December 19, 2023 4:30am EST
Blake Shelton is determined to "stop drinking" in the new year.
Shelton, 47, hasn't been able to master the ever-popular new year's resolution.
"I haven't managed to stop drinking yet," the country music star told "Entertainment Tonight." "Even cutting back has been hard. I mean, it's a resolution though. And I'll say it again right now – that's my New Year's resolution. To either cut back or stop drinking altogether. Let's just say I said it."

Abstaining from alcohol – even if for just a month – has been many Hollywood A-lister's resolution. Here's a look at celebrities who have joined the Dry January trend throughout the years:
Tom Holland
Tom Holland participated in Dry January in 2022 and his decision to go a month without alcohol led to full-time sobriety.
The "Spider-Man: No Way Home" actor made the decision after feeling like he drank excessively during the 2021 Christmas holiday season. "All I could think about was having a drink… It really scared me," he told Jay Shetty in July 2023. "I just was like, ‘Wow, maybe I have a little bit of an alcohol thing.’"

After giving up alcohol, Holland admitted he's the "happiest" he's ever been.
"Things that would go wrong on set, that would normally set me off, I could take in my stride," he explained. "I had such better mental clarity. I felt healthier, I felt fitter."
Kelly Ripa
Kelly Ripa's sober month pact also led to a sober lifestyle.
"I did a sober month – all my girlfriends did it, we all did it together – and I just never went back to it," the TV host previously told People magazine.

"It wasn’t even really a thought process," Ripa explained. "It felt great, I felt like I looked great, I felt like I didn’t feel hungover. Not that I was a heavy drinker – I wasn’t someone who got drunk – but even like two glasses of wine at a girl’s night out dinner; I would feel it the next morning."

Rumer Willis
Rumer Willis' 2017 Dry January experiment changed her relationship with alcohol.
After successfully completing the month sober, Willis told American Addictions Center that her "perfectionism" helped her make the decision to fully quit drinking.
"There’s this part of me that was like, ‘Oh, I have a month? Well I can’t go back now.’ I made it a challenge for myself," Willis explained.

The eldest daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore shared she felt she used drinking alcohol as a "tool."
"When I would drink, I think obviously because it lowers your inhibitions, it gave me this false sense of confidence and I was almost using it as a tool… as a way to be this version of myself [that] I thought was smarter, funnier, more confident, more interesting," Willis admitted. "And it’s a lie, it’s completely a lie. And it’s this illusion of somehow you’re this magical, sparkly version of yourself when you are drinking."
Valerie Bertinelli

"One, I want to try and cut down the cravings for my sugar," she explained on Instagram at the time. "And I think alcohol exacerbates that."
"I want to calm down the cortisol in my body that has been raging for the last five, six years. I've been in fight, flight, freeze, fawn mode. And I want to go into rest and digest," she added. "I think cutting alcohol will help me do that."

Shane MacGowan, 'The Pogues' frontman and 'Fairytale of New York' singer, dead at 65
MacGowan will forever be known for the 1987 hit Fairytale Of New York
By Michael Dorgan Fox News
Published November 30, 2023 8:28am EST
Shane MacGowan, the lead singer of Celtic punk band The Pogues and known the world over for the 1987 hit "Fairytale Of New York," has died aged 65.
MacGowan’s wife, Victoria Mary Clarke, announced the singer’s death via a post on Instagram Thursday.
"There's no way to describe the loss that I am feeling and the longing for just one more of his smiles that lit up my world," she wrote.

"Thank you thank you thank you thank you for your presence in this world you made it so very bright and you gave so much joy to so many people with your heart and soul and your music.
"You will live in my heart forever. Rave on in the garden all wet with rain that you loved so much."
MacGowan had been receiving treatment for an illness at St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin for several months. He had also suffered from encephalitis, inflammation in the brain.
He was discharged on Nov. 22 and returned home to spend time with his friends and family, according to Irish news outlet RTE.
The Irish star had suffered from several health issues in recent years and was wheelchair-bound.

In a statement posted to social media, The Pogues wrote:
"It is with the deepest sorrow and heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Shane MacGowan.
"Shane died peacefully at 3 a.m. this morning with his wife Victoria and family by his side.
"Prayers and the last rites were read which gave comfort to his family.

"He is survived by his wife Victoria, his sister Siobhan and his father Maurice, family and a large circle of friends."
MacGowan was Born in Kent, England on Christmas Day in 1957, although he spent much of his childhood with his mother's family in County Tipperary in Ireland, where he was surrounded by folk and traditional music.
He will forever be associated with the festive period thanks to The Pogues' 1987 hit, "Fairytale Of New York." The song featured a duet with the late Kirsty MacColl.
In the U.K., "Fairytale of New York" is the most-played Christmas song of the 21st century. A bet that MacGowan could not write a Christmas song led to the hit being produced.
The Pogues drew on MacGowan’s punk roots together with his knowledge of Irish folk music to produce a unique sound and their live shows were hugely popular, particularly with a young, London-based Irish audience, according to RTE. The Pogues brought traditional Irish music to the mainstream.

Other hits the band have included "Dirty Old Town," A Rainy Night in Soho," and "A Pair of Brown Eyes."
MacGowan was widely recognized for his songwriting talents, penning songs on a variety of topics including Irish history and nationalism, The Troubles in Northern Ireland and the grimness of living in London in the 1980s.
He was also known for his wild party lifestyle, missing teeth and heavy drinking. MacGowan would often perform on stage heavily inebriated and smoking cigarettes.
The star also had a close friendship with Johnny Depp, who played guitar and featured in the music video to "That Woman’s Got Me Drinking" by MacGowan's other band, The Popes. Depp attended the couple's wedding in 2018.

Bella Thorne is making bank.
The 22-year-old said she’s already made $2 million since joining subscription-only social media platform OnlyFans less than a week ago. The Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday that the former Disney child star joined last Wednesday and is charging $20 a month for access to her feed.
According to the outlet, OnlyFans allows adult entertainers, as well as celebrities and influencers, to “share content that might be too X-rated for Instagram or Twitter.” Most notably, it hosts pages from Cardi B and some members of “Real Housewives.”
The 22-year-old told the outlet she plans on putting the earnings into her production company and toward charity. In addition, she’s using OnlyFans as research for a new film she’s making with director Sean Baker.

BELLA THORNE OPENS UP ABOUT COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOM: 'I WANTED ACCEPTANCE'
“It’s a feature we are searching as I’m living it currently,” Thorne explained. “What are the ins and outs? What does a platform like this do to its users? What’s the connective material between your life and your life inside the world of OnlyFans? … How can it change your life for the worse and the better? How far are you willing to go, and how far do you want to go? You can be me, or this talented girl from Montana, and OnlyFans could change your life – if you want it to, of course.”
Thorne revealed she plans to act in the film. But a source close to the project claimed the movie is “very early in its development – in its infancy – and probably years away from turning into anything.”
As for Thorne’s OnlyFans account, the star said she’s still trying to figure out what exactly she wants to share with her followers. The outlet noted that so far, her page offers “suggestive imagery” such as bikini snaps and “her eating a hot dog,” but nothing graphic.
In a poll, Thorne asked her followers what kind of content they would like from her. Among the answers were lingerie, twerking, as well as showering and “tongue teasing.”

Thorne said she hopes her page can become a place where she “can really just be more personal with my fans” and send them “good night and good morning personal message” via voice memo. Thorne also wants to offer classes on writing in Final Draft, baking and songwriting.
Thorne rose to fame on Disney’s “Shake It Up.” She also starred in the Freeform series “Famous in Love,” which aired from 2017 until 2018. Since then, Thorne has appeared in several films. Most recently, she starred in the thriller “Infamous,” which was released on video-on-demand in June. | bella-thorne-onlyfans-millions_a57075b197ae4316abfdfe35f188cdc7.png |

Lena Dunham is ready to walk down the aisle.
A few hours after the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples can marry in all 50 states, the “Girls” actress not-so-subtly tweeted to her boyfriend Jack Antonoff to, “Get on it, yo…”
The couple — who have been together for three years — famously declared they were waiting to tie the knot until everyone had the right to marry in the US, and that day is finally here.

“Woke up to learn that love is free! Thank you to all those who fought so hard to make this historic moment happen,” longtime LGBT activist Dunham, 29, wrote Friday, adding, “Let’s use this victory as a reminder to keep pushing for equality on every frontier. We have the power!”
Love is in the air for everyone, including the Bleachers singer, 31, who tweeted out emoticons with hearts for eyes.
In March, Dunham explained the reasoning behind their decision to wait.
“The idea of having a celebration that can’t be fully shared among all the people in my life and all the people that we love just doesn’t really feel like a celebration at all,” she told Ellen DeGeneres. “So until that’s something that everyone can join into with no sense of being left out on any level, politically, emotionally, it’s just not something that we’re gonna do.”

Courtney Stodden spills on split: George Clooney and 'Bachelorette' in teen's future?
By Sasha Savitsky , Fox News
Published November 18, 2013 9:25am EST | Updated January 13, 2017 12:09pm EST
NEW YORK – Maybe she'll be the next Bachelorette. Maybe she'll date George Clooney. Right now, the world is 19-year-old Courtney Stodden's oyster after she announced she and her 53-year-old husband Doug Hutchison are going their separate ways.
“Doug and I decided to separate and end our marriage because of the obvious,” Stodden told FOX411. “Our age gap of 34-years.”
Stodden shot into the spotlight when the then 16-year-old married “Lost” actor 51-year-old Doug Hutchinson in 2011. Three years and several reality shows later, the controversial couple has split despite calling each other “soul mates.”
“I know I was quoted a couple years ago saying that age is just a number but I mean I guess to some people it isn’t just a number,” she said. “Our 34-year age difference definitely played a huge major role in [our split].”
Since their marriage began, Stodden hadn’t spent more than 24 hours away from her hubby and co-manager. That was until she recently got back from competing on Big Brother UK where the busty blond got her first taste of freedom.
[pullquote]
“Right now I’m just looking to have fun and to grow into who I am as a woman and be single and independent and build my own foundation,” she said. “I’m just my taking the time to be me and be single and be 19 and to try and be as much as a normal 19 year old as I possibly can.”
One ongoing issue between the former lovebirds was Courtney’s decision to have a breast augmentation.
Initially, Hutchinson wasn't supportive of his wife’s enhanced chest Stodden told FOX411 in June that "he was against it."
“He wasn’t such a huge fan of me wanting to get my breasts done,” she told us in the Fox411 studios. “I’ve only had my breasts augmented that’s the only surgery I’ve had and he was so against it. We definitely didn’t see eye to eye on that.”
While C-Stod tells us she is looking forward to her newfound freedom, she can’t get away from soon-to-be-ex-husband Hutchinson just yet. The pair is still living together and Hutchinson will continue to co-manage his ex’s career.
“It’s extremely unconventional to live in the same house as your soon-to-be-ex,” Stodden tells us. “It's been working out okay...it’s fairly new so I don’t know what the future has to hold but I hold hope in my heart that we can prevail and remain close.”
The newly single Stodden says she isn’t ready to jump into anything serious let alone “be with another 50-year-old man.”
"If I learned anything from getting married at a young age is take your time a little more,” she said as a warning to other young girls looking to get hitched. “I always tell people to follow their heart. It’s not my place to judge somebody’s life especially their choices in life. All I say is to make sure you're safe, you’re not harming yourself and other people around you.”
When she is ready to start dating again, "The Bachelorette" wouldn’t be a bad place to get her feet wet.
“I mean, I wouldn’t say no to 'The Bachelorette,'” she teased. “That could be something fun for me to experience. I come from a reality background so of course I’m going to explore that here and there so we’ll see what happens.”
So what is the 19-year-old looking for in a man?
“I think I’d look for I love to laugh I mean what girl doesn’t?” she said. “So if a guy can make me laugh that’s really appealing to me.”
Don’t start practicing your best jokes just yet gentlemen; Stodden may have her on eye on one of Hollywood’s hottest men.
When asked if she would date George Clooney, the reality star batted her lashes and answered, “Would I be George Clooney’s girlfriend? No comment.”
Clooney may be out of the luck because the self-described “horror geek” may have her eyes on an even older man. “I love Jack Nicholson! I’m such a horror geek so I’m not really scared of Jack Nicholson.”
For those who holding out for a “Dourtney” reunion, whomever she dates next, Stodden is ready to end her marriage and start a new chapter without Hutchinson.
“You know, never say never,” she said. Something “miraculous” could happen that would lead the two back to each other but for now Stodden is happy to be single.
“I’m just taking one day at a time and I’m grateful that I’m taking time for myself right now.”
Stodden credits her fan base with getting her through the recent split.
“I have a huge wonderful beautiful group of supporters who have really gotten me through this and who’ve supported my decision who continue to infuse me with light and energy and confidence to continue on,” she said. “And to the haters they are my motivators what can I say? So I’m grateful to them too.” | courtney-stodden-spills-on-split-george-clooney-and-bachelorette-in-teens-future_d85ac5b4915a4c6aab2b96906a31f064.png |

Reality TV Couples: Then & Now
By Amy Harrington , Getback
Published July 31, 2009 12:00am EDT | Updated April 11, 2016 6:26pm EDT
The "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" season finale is drawing near and causing quite a stir (what with Candy Spelling's open letter to TMZ chastising her daughter for pimping out her grandkids on TV). But if you're lamenting the loss of a good reality couple while they're on hiatus, don't despair. Bill Rancic and Giuliana DePandi-Rancic are coming to the rescue as the latest real-life couple to bare all in front of the cameras with their new show, the cleverly named "Giuliana & Bill."
So far, both couples seem to be holding their marriages together in spite of (or maybe because of) the constant spotlight, but other reality TV pairs have not fared so well. Take a look at these small-screen spouses who've opened up their marriages to the cameras through the years, then check out our Magic 8 Ball predictions for their futures.

Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett: "Kendra"
MARITAL STATUS: Married for one month
Kendra Wilkinson is famous for getting naked, and Hank Baskett is an NFL wide receiver. Sounds like perfect fodder for a reality show. Kendra met Hugh Hefner when she was hired to be one of the painted ladies (yes, completely nude except for the minimal brushed on "clothing") at a Playboy Mansion party, and she soon moved in and became one of "The Girls Next Door." Last year, she left Hef and started her own reality show, "Kendra." By the second episode, she'd announced she was engaged to football player Hank. So much for the life of a single girl. Most of the first season has focused on their wedding plans (the episode featuring the big event with fellow "GND" girlfriends Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt as her bridesmaids airs this week), and her latest announcement that she's with child. Really? Does anyone think that's a good idea? She says she's taken down the stripper pole and plans to be a very strict, Christian mother. We give this marriage (maybe) one more season. Hank has got to be growing sick of the hyena laugh already.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will they stay married? Don't count on it.
Jon and Kate Gosselin: "John & Kate Plus 8"
MARITAL STATUS: Filed for divorce in June 2009
Are you all tired of Jon and Kate, yet? We are. One in a string of couples to capitalize on having too many children, Jon and Kate have taken the debacle a step further with a public affair and a nasty breakup. Just this week, Kate bought a condo as part of their separation agreement. Apparently, the eight kids will reside in the giant house, and Kate and Jon will take turns living there with them. So you see, they both need their own condos, too (plus there's more room for the production crew in the mansion). And it is, after all, about the kids, who won't be scarred by this freak show in any way, right? We hope Jon and Kate remain apart, and we'd like to see the show go away, but since it's one of TLC's highest-rated programs, that's unlikely.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will they go away? Outlook not so good.
Scott Baio and Renee Sloan: "Scott Baio Is 45... and Single" and "Scott Baio Is 46... and Pregnant"
MARITAL STATUS: Married for two years
First Scott Baio ("Happy Days," "Joanie Loves Chachi," and "Charles in Charge") was 45 and single and spent a whole season hemming and hawing about all his past lady friends and his fear of committing to his long-time girlfriend, former Playmate Renee Sloan. Season One ended with a marriage proposal and a pregnancy test, and Season Two started with a title change, "Scott Baio Is 46... And Pregnant." The show was not picked up for a third season and shortly after their son, Bailey, was born, the couple had a health scare when a false-positive test indicated their baby might have a metabolic disease. Fortunately, Bailey is now happy and healthy, and the Baios seem to be going strong outside the reality TV spotlight. We think becoming a daddy is the best thing that ever happened to him (along with producing "Confessions of a Teen Idol").
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will Scott and Renee stay together? Signs point to yes.
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag: "The Hills"
MARITAL STATUS: Married for three months
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are quite possibly the most despicable pair on TV, and we can't help but ask, is there anything real about these "reality" stars? Are these two truly this horrible or is it just an act for the cameras hired to capture the real-life drama? Can they possibly be as deeply spiritual as they claim to be while still conducting themselves as completely dreadful human beings? Maybe their new book due out this fall, "How to Be Famous," will answer some of the burning questions, or maybe it will just continue the charade. Speidi got married in November 2008 and again in 2009 in front of 200 of their closest reality TV show friends and extras. If the personas they have created are as compatible as they seem, they might just stay together forever, but since no one knows who they really are, the future is clouded.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will the union last? Reply hazy, try again later.
Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed: "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels"
MARITAL STATUS: Unmarried for 25 years
Kiss rock god Gene Simmons has been "happily unmarried" to 1981 Playmate of the Year Shannon Tweed for 25 years. And as they have explained numerous times on their four-plus season TV show, "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels," the arrangement seems to work for them. He still gets to be a dog on the road, and she gets to spend all his money, live in a mansion, and be on TV. They get to have their cake and eat it, too.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will they stay unmarried? Most likely.
Hulk and Linda Hogan: "Hogan Knows Best"
MARITAL STATUS: Divorced in July 2009
Ex-wrestler Hulk Hogan (aka Terry Bollea) and his wife of 24 years, Linda, have finally settled their divorce just this past week. The two-year battle out of the ring started when Linda filed papers without telling her husband, who had allegedly cheated on her with their daughter Brooke's friend, Christiane Plante. Sounds like a soap opera, no? Well, yes, kind of. It was all captured on camera for the reality TV series "Hogan Knows Best," but this drama never aired, because the show was canceled before Season Five was aired. Still, the first four years often dealt with the Hogans' marital issues. What better place to go to marriage counseling than on TV, we always say. Hulk has since been dating Jennifer McDaniel (who looks oddly just like daughter Brooke, eeewww!), and Linda has been linked to a 20-year-old classmate of her son, Nick.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will the couple ever reunite? The reply is no.
Reverend Run and Justine Simmons: "Run's House"
MARITAL STATUS: Married for 15 years
Reverend Run, aka Joseph Simmons (founding member of Run-D.M.C., rap star, and ordained minister) has been married to Justine since 1994. They have three children together and three kids from Run's previous marriage, and all of them have been featured in the reality TV series "Run's House" since 2005. Season Six is airing now, Season Seven is set to start taping in the fall, and Joe and Justine's marriage still seems to be going strong. They and the family have banded together in tough times (such as the loss of baby daughter Victoria in 2006) and celebrated the happy occasions side by side, like the subsequent adoption of Miley in 2008. In a recent interview in People magazine, Run gave advice to Jon and Kate about being a reality TV couple: "If you cherish your wife and kids, that's where your energy goes."
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will Run and Justine outlast reality fame? Signs point to yes.
Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry: "My Fair Brady"
MARITAL STATUS: Married for three years
Peter Brady married "America's Next Top Model" on reality TV, and they lived happily ever after. Right? Well, maybe. Christopher Knight met Adrianne Curry on VH1's "Surreal Life" in 2005, and they began dating. That same year they opened their very rocky relationship up to the cameras for their own show, "My Fair Brady." The first season followed their on-again, off-again romance, leading up to a perfectly timed proposal on the finale. Season Two centered mainly on plans for the elaborate wedding Adrianne wanted vs. the low-key affair Chris was imagining. The show even included a visit from his TV mom, Florence Henderson, who made a public statement that she thought the engagement was being forced by VH1 and the relationship was a sham. Still, despite FloHen's objections, the couple married and filmed a third season of the show, which ended with Adrianne tossing out her birth control pills. A great cliffhanger for a Season Four that never was picked up. And so now we're left wondering: What happened to Chris and Adrianne? They've managed to stay below the radar this past year, and so we speculate that maybe they're doing OK without the cameras around.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Are they making it work? Reply hazy, try again.
Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler: "Meet the Barkers"
MARITAL STATUS: Divorced for five years
Reality TV was not very kind to Travis Barker (drummer for Blink-182) and Shanna Moakler (former Miss USA). Season One of "Meet the Barkers" showed us the newlyweds, very much in love and raising two kids (one from her first marriage and their own son, Landon). In Season Two, we started to see the cracks, and even though the series ended with the happy news and birth of their daughter, Alabama, the couple split soon after. When tragedy hit in 2008, Shanna rushed to her ex's side after his plane crash, and the two remained close during his recovery. There was even chatter about remarriage, but the couple has since split for good.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will there be a reconciliation? Very doubtful.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline: "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic"
MARITAL STATUS: Divorced for two years
Wouldn't it all make more sense if we could just blame the reality show "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic" for the demise of the Britney/K-Fed relationship? We know by now that opening the marital doors to the cameras usually does more harm than good. But in this case, those were the best of times for the pop star and her back-up dancer boyfriend. After the series ended, the pair started with the babies, the fighting, the shaved head, and the custody battle. And while the writing seemed to be on the wall since Episode One, no one can truly fault the show for the inevitable break. Reports are floating around the Internet that K-Fed is in talks for a new reality show with sons Jayden James and Sean Preston and his current girlfriend, Victoria Prince. Will Britney make guest appearances? We can only hope.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will Britney and Kevin ever marry, baby, one more time? Don't count on it.
Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown: "Being Bobby Brown"
MARITAL STATUS: Divorced for three years
"Being Bobby Brown" was one of the earlier docudrama series featuring big stars opening their homes to cameras. The show was supposed to be a vehicle for Bobby Brown's career comeback, but MTV only agreed to produce the series if then-superstar and then-wife Whitney Houston would appear as a regular cast member. It did sort of succeed in bringing back Bobby, but it also succeeded in bringing down Whitney — well, that and an alleged crack habit. Remember, "Crack is wack!," and if you don't think so, you can "Kiss my ass!" The pair stayed married for another year but divorced in 2006. Whitney is set for her own resurgence in August 2009 (unless, that is, it is postponed — again.)
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will Whitney and Bobby avoid a reality TV comeback and stay apart? Signs point to yes.
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey: "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica"
MARITAL STATUS: Divorced for three years
Nick and Jess have been all over the news lately. NFL star Tony Romo dumped Jessica on her birthday, and Nick just split from Vanessa Minnillo, so of course rumors started swirling that the pair would hook up again. Could we have a "Newlyweds 2" on our hands? Could we relive moments like Jessica's classic mistake that "Chicken of the Sea" was poultry? Maybe John Mayer could get Jess back and get a TV show in the process, because that would be more a likely reunion.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will Nick and Jessica reunite? Outlook not so good.
Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro: "Carmen & Dave: An MTV Love Story" and "'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen + Dave"
MARITAL STATUS: Divorced for three years
Rock star Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction, Camp Freddy, and Red Hot Chili Peppers) and "Baywatch" babe and Playboy model Carmen Electra seemed like a pretty well-matched couple. And on their first MTV reality show, "Carmen & Dave: An MTV Love Story," the sparks flew, and we wanted more. So, apparently, did they, because two years later they returned with "'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen + Dave" to chronicle their trip down the aisle. Three years later they split, although no one seems to have a good reason why. And we wonder if Dave will want her back after seeing her on the January cover of Playboy or in last month's topless pictures at Vega's Crazy Horse. It doesn't seem like her current fiance, Otep's Rob Patterson, would be too happy about that.
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will they stay "just friends"? Most likely.
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne: "The Osbournes"
MARITAL STATUS: Married for 27 years
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have been together since 1979. Through 30 years, they've weathered things a lot tougher than a silly reality show. They fought alcohol and drug addiction, music career slumps, affairs, and even cancer. But through it all, they stuck together. So cameras following them around couldn't damage this tough-as-nails couple. For three years we watched a subtitled Ozzy mumble through life on "The Osbournes," and then we saw Sharon's career skyrocket with her own talk show and "America's Got Talent" and "Rock of Love: Charm School." Of course, Ozzy and Sharon still have failures, such as their attempt at a variety show last year ("Osbournes: Reloaded").
MAGIC 8 BALL PREDICTION: Will Ozzy and Sharon avoid the reality show couple curse? Signs point to yes.

Chrishell Stause is dating 'Dancing with the Stars' pro Keo Motsepe: report
The 'DWTS' competitors appeared to confirm their romance with pics on social media
By Melissa Roberto Fox News
Published December 3, 2020 11:17am EST
Chrishell Stause and Keo Motsepe, two competitors from Season 29 of “Dancing with the Stars," are reportedly dating.
Stause, known as one of the glam realtors in Netflix's “Selling Sunset," competed on Season 29 of the ABC dance competition show with partner Gleb Savchenko. The season has since wrapped, but it appears she's been getting cozy to dance pro Motsepe, who was paired with actress Anne Heche.
Both Stause, 39, and Motsepe appeared to confirm their romance in separate social media posts on Wednesday night. Stause took to her Instagram Story earlier in the day to show her working alongside Motsepe in the gym.
In a follow-up post, the reality TV star shared a selfie sitting on Motsepe's lapas he kisses her cheek. Meanwhile, Motsepe shared the same loved-up pic to his own Instagram account, captioning it with a red heart emoji.

Several of their former "Dancing with the Stars" co-stars reacted to the photo with excitement. Jeannie Mai, who had to exit Season 29 prematurely due to a health issue, responded with several heart-eye emojis. Contestant Nev Schulman, who finished in third place this season, wrote, "THIS. IS. SO. CUTE."
"Shark Tank" star Barbara Corcoran, who competed in Season 25, gave her seal of approval. "Two people I love!" she commented.
Pro Sasha Farber, who is married to dancer Emma Slater, was also quite tickled by the new coupling, writing, "Yesss double date."
Stause's new relationship comes just weeks after many speculated she was having an affair with Savenchko. The 37-year-old Russian dancer and his wife, “So You Think You Can Dance” choreographer Elena Samodanova, announced their divorce last month after for more than a decade together.

“This has been an ongoing situation between Elena and I paired with poor timing," Savchenko told Entertainment Tonight when denying rumors of a romance with Stause.

Stause too denied the accusations, writing on Instagram that she was "saddened" by her partner's divorce and that she wasn't involved.
“It is unfortunate that this has caused rumors to swirl about my personal life. Having gone through a public split myself, I would not wish this on anyone," Stause wrote.

Stause was previously married to Justin Hartley. The "This Is Us" actor filed for divorce in November 2019. In October, Stause opened up about the "painful" divorce and how she's moving forward.
“I’ve had to start over so many times in my life. I always know how to look at the bright side because there’s been a lot of dark,” the “Days of Our Lives” alum told People magazine.

YouTuber Jake Paul sued for $2.5M after being accused of trashing California rental, report says

Notorious YouTube star Jake Paul is reportedly being sued for $2.5 million after he was accused of trashing a property he rented in California.
The lawsuit, filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday, stated Paul and others rented the “multi-million dollar single-family home located in an upscale neighborhood” in 2016, The Wrap reported.
Paul and the others trashed the property while shooting their YouTube videos, the suit alleged. Paul, like his brother Logan, is known for pulling pranks and doing stunts in his videos. The YouTuber has more than 14 million subscribers to his channel.
The suit also stated many people went to the property after learning where Paul lived. The suit alleged Paul and the others “caused extensive damage” to the property.

“Defendants performed a number of dangerous and damaging stunts at the Subject Property including lighting fires in the backyard, filling the pool with cereal, draining the pool and lighting a fire in the pool, hosting parties at the roof, installing a trampoline on the roof, and making holes in the interior walls of the Subject Property,” the suit stated.
Paul and others “took it upon themselves” to make repairs to the property because there was so much damage, the suit stated. Paul and others didn’t receive permission to do any kind of remodeling, according to the suit.
The suit also stated the owners of the home were contacted by neighbors saying Paul had people in and out of the property all the time and fires were viewed from the backyard.
Paul’s legal representative told TMZ that the plaintiffs were aware of the YouTuber’s antics.
“There’s no allegation regarding the actual amount of damages other than the request for punitive damages,” Paul’s rep said. “That’s because the damages were minimal compared to the amount they’re asking. They say they want punitive damages because they say they didn’t know Jake would use the house for his pranks, but the original lease states it’s for Jake’s personal use.”

The rep told the gossip site that it would be impossible for the property owners not to have known about the pranks because they raised the rent instead of asking them to leave.
Paul like his brother Logan have made headlines recently for their antics in front and behind the camera.
Jake Paul was captured on video saying the N-word, while Logan Paul received heavy criticism after he posted a video that showed a body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan.

Brooke Shields, 56, poses topless in Jordache jeans 40 years after Calvin Klein ad
Shields is modeling a new pair of jeans for a spring campaign titled 'You’ve Got the Look'

Brooke Shields is slipping into a new pair of jeans.
The actress is modeling some fresh denim for Jordache’s Spring 2022 campaign shot by photographer Cass Bird and styled by Deborah Watson. The 56-year-old went topless for one of the sizzling snaps.
"We are excited to work with Brooke Shields," said Liz Berlinger, President of Jordache, to Fox News Digital in a statement sent on Wednesday.
"Like Jordache, she is iconic in fashion," said Berlinger. "We have watched her grow from a young girl into an incredible woman, mother and entrepreneur – throughout it all she has remained authentic and an inspiration to women everywhere."

The campaign, titled "You’ve Got the Look," aims to promote inclusion and body positivity. It will feature influencers and everyday women recreating some of the star’s signature poses.
Shields noted to People magazine that she was just 15 years old when she last modeled for a major denim campaign.
"I appreciate it more now," the actress explained. "It’s such an honor to be my age and be represented. I feel the magnitude of it more. There’s a knowledge that comes with age, and this feels less like a job and more like a privilege."
Shields added that she was very open with the Jordache team about her stance on retouching. She told the outlet that she wanted the photos to remain authentic for other women.

"It was important for you to see this is my 56-year-old body and to fight the retouching," Shields told the outlet. "I’m always like, ‘You better keep it honest.’ And we did."
Shields also revealed she had a no-nonsense approach to physically preparing for the shoot.
"I worked so hard with my trainer Ngo Okafor," she said. "We did 5 a.m. workouts, but I wasn’t drinking so it was easier to wake up in the morning. I pushed it to the limit. My ego helped! I thought, ‘If you do these pictures and you are not happy with what you see, you’ll be hard on yourself.’"
It was 1980 when Shields appeared in a controversial Calvin Klein campaign. The then-teen famously said: "You want to know what comes in between me and my Calvins? Nothing." The fashion shoot, directed by Richard Avedon, caused an uproar over perceived sexual innuendo in Shields’ performance. Both ABC and CBS banned the ad.

In 2020, Shields told Fox News Digital she had no interest in squeezing into the designer denim again.
"I can get into them, but it looks painful," Shields said at the time. "I recently found them, [but] I think the last time I fit into them comfortably was probably while I was in ‘Wonderful Town’ on Broadway [back in 2004]. They’re so high-waisted."

"When I was that age, I was built like a little boy," the star continued. "I don’t have any desire to fit back into them. I’ve had two children and I’ve grown into a more womanly shape that I feel comfortable in and that I’m proud of.
"I’m celebrating who I am now, not trying to get the body I had when I was 15. One of the messages I want to share with other women is to celebrate yourself. Own your curves and strengths rather than trying to look like somebody else or be skinny. I'd rather be strong and fit than anything else."

'Jurassic Park' star Sam Neill reveals he has 'ferocious' stage 3 cancer
Neill was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in March 2022
By Janelle Ash Fox News
Published March 17, 2023 5:31pm EDT
"Jurassic Park" actor Sam Neill has revealed his "ferocious" stage 3 blood cancer diagnosis.
Neill, 75, told the BBC that he was diagnosed in March 2022.
"The thing is, I'm crook. Possibly dying," he wrote in the first chapter of his new book, "Did I Ever Tell You This?" To distract himself, Neill turned to writing to "give me a reason to get through the day."

During a press tour for "Jurassic World Dominion" last year, the actor noticed that glands in his neck did not feel right. After hearing his diagnosis from doctors, Neill said his response was pretty stoic, but it prompted him to "take stock of things."

"I thought I need to do something, and I thought, 'Shall I start writing?'" he told the outlet. "I didn't think I had a book in me, I just thought I'd write some stories. And I found it increasingly engrossing."

Neill continued, "A year later, not only have I written the book — I didn't have a ghost writer — but it's come out in record time. I suspect my publishers, they're delightful people, but I think they wanted to get it out in a hurry just in case I kicked the bucket before it was time to release the thing."
The actor details his non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis in his upcoming memoir. He made it clear that the book is not just about his cancer because he "can't stand cancer books."

Instead, he chose to focus on his "fun" and "exciting" life.
Per the Mayo Clinic, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is "a type of cancer that begins in your lymphatic system, which is part of the body's germ-fighting immune system. Advances in diagnosis and treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma have helped improve the prognosis for people with this disease."
According to the BBC, Neill writes in his book that he lost his hair after the first round of chemotherapy and when he looked in the mirror he saw "a bald, wizened old man there."
Neill revealed that he is not afraid of dying, but said it would "annoy" him. (Reuters)
"More than anything I want my beard back. I don't like the look of my face one bit," he added.

"I’m not afraid to die," he said, "but it would annoy me. Because I’d really like another decade or two, you know?

Vanna White describes how she copes with tough times
By Stephanie Nolasco Fox News
Published October 30, 2018 5:00am EDT
Vanna White is thankful she’s had the support of loved ones to help her cope with some of the biggest heartaches of her life.
Woman’s World magazine reported that not only did the “Wheel of Fortune” icon lose her mother to cancer in 1980 when she was 24, but six years later she also lost her boyfriend, “The Young and the Restless” actor John Gibson, in a plane crash. Then, in 1992, she suffered a devastating miscarriage, followed by a 2002 divorce from restaurateur George Santo Pietro after 12 years of marriage. They had two kids.
White’s next love was businessman Michael Kaye. Closer Weekly revealed they announced their engagement in 2004 only to end their relationship just a year later.
White, 61, told Woman’s World she has learned to lean on loved ones “in good times and bad.”

“I talk to my 93-year-old dad every day,” said White. “And though my mom isn’t physically here with me, I know she’s with me in everything that I do.”
White added she also finds comfort in stepping away from the limelight when possible.
“Whenever I’m going through something stressful, I try to go into a quiet place in nature and just be,” she shared. “When your brain is going 1,000 miles per hour and you need to calm down, nature’s the best thing.”
But White doesn’t mind being in the spotlight. In fact, she finds great joy in using her fame to give back.
“Helping others bring me so much joy!” she said. “I love to work with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. All the money they get goes to helping children, and I so wanted to be a part of that. So, I made my own yarn called ‘Vanna’s Choice’ and donate all the proceeds to St. Jude. But giving back doesn’t have to be that extravagant — even in small ways, making others happy just makes me happy.”

Back in 2017, White told Fox News one of the triumphs of her life was leading a successful, 36-year career with “Wheel of Fortune.”
“There’s one time that still sticks out to me,” White recalled on the moment she made it big. “I remember standing in line at the grocery store and I was on the cover of Newsweek. I looked at the cover [while waiting in line] and went, ‘Wow, I think I made it!’ That was the moment for me. The other one was when I got my star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When I first moved to Los Angeles, I was walking down the Hollywood Walk of Fame and I would tell myself, ‘One day I’m going to have my own star.”
White also shared she didn’t envision herself retiring anytime soon.
“I’m sure I will one day, but I’m enjoying my job so much,” she explained. “I don’t want to retire. I hope to continue doing it for as long as I can.”
When it came to regrets from her career, White recalled being embarrassed about appearing on the 1987 cover of Playboy.
“Here’s the thing,” she explained at the time. “When I first moved to Hollywood, I was too embarrassed to ask my dad for rent money. I was young and I wanted to do it on my own. So, I did these lingerie shots and from the moment I said I would do them, I thought, ‘I shouldn’t be doing this, but I’m not going to ask my dad for money, so I’m just going to do it!’ Once I got ‘Wheel of Fortune’ and some fame, Hugh Hefner then bought those photos. He’s the one who put me on the cover of the magazine. I didn’t do it for Playboy.

“I did not want them on there, but it happened. I was very thankful that I had such support behind me. I remember going on ‘Johnny Carson’ and saying, ‘I’m so sorry, this is what happened.’ And this is a lesson that applies today: Never do anything that you don’t want to do. Listen to your instincts and follow it. I said, ‘I made a mistake, I’m sorry and I just hope I don’t lose my job over it.’ Fortunately, I didn’t. I could have, you know? It was a great lesson to learn, but what can I say? I did something I shouldn’t have done.” | vanna-white-describes-how-she-copes-with-tough-times_1724761299ed46b397db1fd7188a812b.png |

"Call Me Maybe" singer Carly Rae Jepsen fights to keep nude photos private, report says
By TMZ
Published July 25, 2012 12:07pm EDT | Updated April 6, 2016 9:38pm EDT
"Call Me Maybe" singer Carly Rae Jepsen has told police she's the latest victim of a perverted hacker who stole XXX photos of the singer from her computer and tried to sell them to various media outlets.
Sources tell TMZ the photos in question are the real deal and have not seen the light of day, and the Canadian-born singer is desperately trying to keep it that way.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that Jepsen's camp received an anonymous tip about the pics back in March and immediately called the Vancouver Police Department to report the cyber crime.
HOT SHOTS: Carly Rae Jepsen.
Police jumped on the case and confirmed the tip was legitimate, Jepsen had been hacked.
A rep for the Vancouver PD tells TMZ an active investigation is underway "in regards to a theft of electronic property belonging to Jepsen." Police may even already have a potential suspect lined up.
Sources tell TMZ whoever hacked the pics stands to face some serious charges, including criminal harassment and unauthorized access of a computer and could spend some serious time in prison.
Jepsen's rep has not yet returned TMZ's request for comment. | call-me-maybe-singer-carly-rae-jepsen-fights-to-keep-nude-photos-private-report-says_0ef9b1b640344350b986915062e9424d.png |

Usama bin Laden's Head in Dry Ice
By Fox News
Published May 4, 2005 12:11pm EDT | Updated March 30, 2018 5:32am EDT
Wednesday's edition of "Fox and Friends" ranged from the latest on Michael Jackson () to Usama bin Laden's head in dry ice to puppy dogs in washing machines. In other words, we covered a lot!! Sorry we did not get to your e-mails. We had technical issues, but we will make it up to you tomorrow.
First, the great news: Our intel and Pakistan's military helped grab UBL's No. 3 guy Abu Farraj al-Libbi (). Ok, you don't know the name but just understand he took over for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), the terrorist who masterminded 9/11 and the USS Cole bombing. If an operation was going to take place inside our borders, that guy would have to make it happen and now he's under arrest and hopefully talking. I'm sure his arrest was delayed so we could pick up others in his network first … at least I hope so. This news came to us as I was sitting next to Rohan Gunaratna, who is an Al Qaeda expert. He was giddy. KSM has been talking since his capture and hopefully this guy will, too. Did you see his picture? It is the true sense of evil. We also had news this morning from a former CIA agent who spoke out about his orders going into the war against terror in Afghanistan, and I'm sure we can all relate to the sentiment. The agent was told by CIA honcho Cofer Black to bring back UBL's head in a box packed in dry ice. Maybe this arrest will bring it closer to reality. I think the day we kill or capture UBL will be akin to a national holiday.
On the fun side, we learned people are sticking their puppies in washing machines to get them clean. Although the dogs look terrified, they come out clean and cling free … and isn't that all that matters?
The runaway bride is getting wackier each day, and I just don't get the fiancée taking her back. Are you kidding? There has to be more there than we all know. Overall we are all relieved that this is more mystery than murder. It's hard to stomach all of this unimaginable killing, i.e. BTK () and Jessica Lunsford (). It's such a relief to know the runaway bride is just a run away bride.
Was able to have John McEnroe on this week promoting the game of tennis to our nation's kids. In doing so, I was able to pay him back for having me on his show for my book "The Games Do Count." Ok, his show did not work out but he is great TV. Why? Because he gives an interviewer the respect of answering a question honestly. He does not know a sports cliché. I rank John as one of the top three interviewers in sports. I rank Barkley and Bobby Knight ahead of him, but that's it!!
Finally, if you want to make my book your book for graduation, a birthday or Father's Day, go to www.briankilmeade.com and place the order. Thanks so much and keep watching!!

Bin Laden made Al Qaeda recruits sign a Mafia-like oath
By Fox News
Published February 17, 2015 5:19am EST | Updated March 30, 2018 12:10am EDT
Al Qaeda operatives were forced to sign a Mafia-like oath of allegiance to the jihadi terror network and its mastermind Osama bin Laden, newly released materials discovered inside the slain terror chief’s hideout show.
The documents were presented by federal prosecutors who want bin Laden’s ghost front and center at the trial of an accused al Qaeda operative set to kick off in Brooklyn on Tuesday.
“I accept your allegiance on behalf of Sheik Usama,” reads a portion of the oath, prosecutors said. “And to follow whomever Sheik Usama assigns to be my Amir on the jihad for the sake of God.”

Tom Holland details sleep paralysis struggles since rising to fame
The 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' star revealed his trick for fighting nightmares
By Nate Day Fox News
Published November 17, 2021 7:25pm EST
Tom Holland has revealed one way that fame has been tough on him.
The 25-year-old actor has been in show biz for quite a while now but skyrocketed to international fame when he was cast as Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, in 2016's "Captain America: Civil War." He has since appeared in a number of other Marvel movies.
In a recent interview with GQ, the British star revealed that as his celebrity grew, he began to struggle with sleep paralysis. According to WebMD, sleep paralysis is "a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep."
"You’re awake, but you can’t move," Holland explained.

He says he's often struck by a nightmare about his affliction in which he wakes up in a state of paralysis, unable to move and is surrounded by paparazzi taking pictures.
"They’re all there, and I’m looking for my publicist, like, ‘Where is the person who’s supposed to be protecting me? What’s going on?’" he recalled. "And then when I am able to move again, I turn the lights on, and it’s over."

Once he realizes that he's safe and alone in his room, Holland said he feels relief, but not so much that he won't "get up and look for a recording device or something that someone has put in my room."

He also said that he faces "cognitive dreaming" and "four out of 10 sleeps I wake up completely naked."
In addition, the star deals with nightmares from time to time and shared his trick for fighting them, which was originally shared with him by his "Spider-Man" director Jon Watts.

"Essentially, when you’re asleep, your brain is working way faster than it is when it’s awake," he said. "If you’re in a dream and you read something, say, a stop sign, and you turn around, when you look back at the stop sign it will have changed. So what you do is — and this is where it sounds stupid — you set an alarm for every hour of the day when you’re awake. When the alarm goes off, you read something."
He said that after reading something simple nearby, turning away and then turning back to see that nothing has changed, he gains control over his nightmares once he is actually asleep.

"What happens is when you do it for a long time, you start to do that in your sleep. Sometimes, if I’m having a really bad dream, I’ll look at a sign and go, ‘Oh, I’m dreaming.’ And then you have free rein to do whatever you want," Holland explained.

Queen Elizabeth sends note to award winners after Easter event is canceled
The Maundy GIft is traditionally given out at a Christian service on the Thursday before Easter
By Nate Day Fox News
Published April 2, 2021 7:34am EDT
Not even a pandemic can keep Queen Elizabeth II from completing her royal duties.
The monarch traditionally hands out silver coins called "Maundy Gift" each year on the Thursday before Easter as an award to outstanding citizens.
The coins are generally given out at Westminster Abbey in recognition of the recipients' faith, but the coronavirus pandemic has now put a stop to the event two years in a row.
Elizabeth, 94, sent the coins to their recipients with a sweet note this year instead of giving them out in person as she normally does.
QUEEN ELIZABETH II DOESN'T WANT 'FAMILY DRAMA' THIS LATE IN HER REIGN: REPORT
"I am delighted to send you the Maundy Gift which I hope you will accept as an expression of my personal thanks to you for all that you have done to enrich the life of your community," read the note, which was shared on social media on Thursday.
The letter then recounted the story of Jesus and the "example" he set for his disciples when he washed their feet on the eve of his death -- a lesson in "service for others," as the Queen put it, and "what it means to be Christian."
"Each year, at the Royal Maundy Service, we have an opportunity to recognise, and give thanks for, work done by countless people for the wellbeing of their neighbors; work that has often been taken for granted or hidden," the note continued. "The Service this year was to have taken place in Westminster Abbey on Thursday, 1st April. You were to have been one of the Recipients whose Christian service would be recognised on that occasion."
QUEEN ELIZABETH'S GRANDSON REPORTEDLY CAUGHT BREAKING CORONAVIRUS TRAVEL PROTOCOL
Elizabeth said that she's "sad" that the event isn't taking place this year, but hopes the gift "will remind you for years to come that your efforts have been truly appreciated."
"My thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones," she concluded. "I wish you every blessing, and a very happy Easter."
The monarch completed each letter with a signature.

190 recipients were sent a letter and award. This year's specially minted coins "commemorate Her Majesty’s 95th Birthday, and the 50th anniversary of Decimal Day," according to the royal family's Twitter account.

Billie Eilish unfollows everyone on Instagram
By Naledi Ushe Fox News
Published June 25, 2020 9:06am EDT
Billie Eilish unfollowed every account she previously followed on Instagram.
The “Bad Guy” singer has nearly 64 million followers including both fans and celebrities.
Fans have speculated the reasoning behind her recent unfollowing spree.
BILLIE EILISH SAYS SHE 'CAN'T WIN' AFTER BEING CRITICIZED FOR SWIMSUIT POST
Billie Eilish arrives at the Oscars in Los Angeles.
Eilish, 18, allegedly posted an Instagram Story that said, “If I am following your abuser DM ME & I will unfollow them. I support you.” The statement has been shared by countless celebrities.

Cooking with 'Friends': Bob Massi's Veal Parmigiana
By Fox News
Published July 8, 2015 5:02pm EDT | Updated April 3, 2018 5:06pm EDT
VEAL PARMIGIANA
Ingredients:
olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
3 anchovies
1 (15 oz.) can chopped tomatoes
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 c. fresh breadcrumbs
A few sprigs of fresh parsley, finely chopped
A handful of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 lemon
1½ c. all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
4 (6 oz.) cuts of veal, flattened to a thickness of 2 cm.
1 (8 oz.) ball of fresh mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Put a pan on a medium heat and add a splash of olive oil, garlic and anchovies and cook, allowing everything to sizzle for a minute or so. Pour in the tinned tomatoes. Bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, prepare your escalopes. Mix the breadcrumbs in a bowl with the chopped parsley and parmesan. Finely grate your lemon zest into the breadcrumbs, mix again. Lay out three plates in front of you. Put the flour on one and season it with salt and pepper, pour the eggs on to the next plate and put the herby breadcrumbs on the third. Dip the veal, one at a time, into the flour until well coated. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg. Let the extra egg drip off, then lay the veal in the breadcrumb mixture. Sprinkle a handful of crumbs over the top and press them down. Make a real point of getting breadcrumbs onto every part of the meat.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add a good splash of olive oil. Let it heat up a bit. Add veal. If your pan isn't big enough, you may have to cook them in batches, adding a little extra oil if needed. Cook for a few minutes on each side until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain. Get yourself an appropriately sized baking dish (approximately 13”x9”) and spread the tomato sauce in the dish. Lay veal on top, side by side. Tear the mozzarella into pieces and dot these over the dish with a few parsley leaves.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden, bubbling and deliciously cooked. Perfect with a crunchy salad or crusty bread.

Charlotte Stewart has found the perfect way to keep busy while in quarantine.
“I stay in bed until my husband and I finish the San Francisco Chronicle crossword puzzle,” the “Little House on the Prairie” star told Fox News.
The actress also shared that once they’re all done, she heads to her studio and designs colorful “Beadle Bags” -- named after her character Miss Beadle -- for fans.

“I don’t cook,” said the 79-year-old. “My husband cooks. I wash. If I have to go out, I wear gloves and a mask.”
Stewart also credited one routine that has uplifted her spirits during the devastating coronavirus pandemic.

“[My loved ones and I] meet every Sunday on Facebook Live,” said Stewart.
There is one special message Stewart has for fans in need of comforting words.
“Be kind, be safe and say thank you to all the workers whose paths [you cross],” she said.
Back in 2017, the star told Fox News that after her time as a schoolteacher came to an end on “Little House,” she found herself addicted to drugs and alcohol, as well as facing homelessness.
The series, which chronicled the adventures of the Ingalls family in the 19th century American Midwest, aired from 1974 until 1983.

“Everybody was doing drugs,” Stewart said at the time. “You’ll just go to a party and somebody will go, ‘Hey, you want a sniff?’ I thought at the time it was just what everybody else did… My business manager had been doing drugs... The next thing I knew, my money was gone. He put it all up his nose. My mortgage had not been paid. I lost my house… I had money and then I didn’t. I’m just really lucky to be alive.”
Stewart said it was her niece who prompted that journey to sobriety.
“She told me what a mess I was in a letter,” she explained. “It broke my heart and woke me up at the same time… I entered a recovery program that really turned my head around. I’m still going to meetings and I’m very grateful.”
By 1984, she sought help and slowly began rebuilding her life again, including accepting a role in the 1990s series “Twin Peaks.”

She credited Alison Arngrim with encouraging Stewart to publish a memoir titled “Little House in the Hollywood Hills.” It detailed her encounters with Doors frontman Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley and Bill Murray among others.
“Let’s face it, I have to stay busy,” she added. “I love to read, but I can’t spend my days reading or shopping. I work every day and prefer it that way.” | little-house-on-the-prairie-charlotte-stewart-quarantine-routine_08ca04d0dd9548d9a2460f55927ca2eb.png |

'A Very Brady Bunch Renovation' reunites cast to bring the iconic TV family home back to life
By Julius Young Fox News
Published July 25, 2019 10:20pm EDT
BEVERLY HILLS – “The Brady Bunch” is back!
Ahead of the show's 50th anniversary, “The Brady Bunch” cast is reuniting to renovate the family’s famous TV digs in “A Very Brady Renovation.”
When HGTV first announced plans to restore the Brady Bunch house to its former glory, few knew what to expect from the home and garden network -- but we now know exactly why HGTV outbid Lance Bass for the swanky single-story property.
'PROPERTY BROTHERS' DREW AND JONATHAN SCOTT NEED FANS HELP WITH ‘BRADY BUNCH’ HOME RENOVATION
“I think when they approached me about it. What resonated with me the most was it was a different take on Brady,” said Maureen McCormick -- who played Marcia in the iconic family sitcom -- during the Discovery portion of the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour in Los Angeles on Thursday.

“They weren't asking us to come back and play 'Brady Bunch' characters again," she continued. "It was 'let's explore what a house would be like if we could make it in real life, and please help us do that.' And I started watching TV shows and I went 'This is going to be good.' And we do talk to each other as a cast about projects.”
However, if Bass did end up getting the iconic home, Susan Olsen -- who starred as Cindy -- thought he would’ve been “perfect.”
MAUREEN MCCORMICK REVEALS SHE WANTED TO BUY THE ICONIC 'BRADY BUNCH' HOUSE
"I was afraid that the wrecking ball might come to it," she admitted. "It would kind of being like wrecking the American family. And why is it that Lance Bass was interested -- I don't know if you remember, but years ago he wanted to be an astronaut and he went to Russia, he went to cosmonaut school and I thought, 'This guy is a living Bobby Brady fantasy. And I thought, he's perfect!"

As for how much the network paid for the beloved home? "It was stupid because they paid like way too much. I mean like way, way too much for this house," Barry Williams, who starred as Greg Brady, revealed.
For Williams in particular, walking through the home again nearly five decades later was extra special.
"One of the things that's nice about recalling the experiences is we are the surviving members of the cast and we can feel the presence of Robert Reed and Florence Henderson and Ann Davis in these rooms that are being created through the memories and the show, so through clips we can share their presence and what a significant part of our show they are and were," he shared.

Lisa Marie Presley's life growing up with Elvis and Priscilla in her own words
Lisa Marie Presley died on Thursday, Jan. 12, after she was transported to the hospital following a possible cardiac arrest
By Lawrence Richard Fox News
Published January 13, 2023 4:58am EST
Lisa Marie Presley, who died on Jan. 12, lived most of her life under the public eye as the singer was the sole daughter of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley. But growing up with the King of Rock 'n Roll as her father made things "very exciting," she said.
"He'd always wake me up to sing in the middle of the night, get on the table and sing," Lisa Marie recalled during an interview on Good Morning America in 2009, People reported. "I remember him as my dad, but he was a very exciting dad."
The iconic couple had Lisa nine months after their wedding, and she was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on Feb. 1, 1968.
Her time with Elvis in the home was fun, she explained, as she recalled during an interview with The Associated Press in 2012 that he would ride her around on golf carts through the neighborhood.

She also recalled seeing his extravagant entrances as he came down the stairs.
"He was always fully, fully geared up. You’d never see him in his pajamas coming down the steps, ever," she told the outlet in 2012. "You’d never see him in anything but ‘ready to be seen’ attire."
Her parents divorced, however, in 1973, when Lisa Marie was 4, and she and her mother moved to Los Angeles.

It was out West where Lisa Marie met Michael Jackson during one of her father’s Las Vegas concerts when she was 7. She and the King of Pop later married.
Elvis died years later, in August 1977. He was 42.
She stayed at Graceland that night and recalled kissing her father goodnight before he collapsed and never recovered. She found him the next morning on the bathroom floor.
"I just had a feeling," she told Rolling Stone in 2003. "He wasn’t doing well. All I know is I had it (a feeling), and it happened. I was obsessed with death at a very early age."
His death made her the joint heir to his estate, and, when her grandfather, Vernon Presley and great-grandmother, Minnie Mae Hood Presley passed away in 1979 and 1980, she became the sole heir to the Graceland residence.

Lisa Marie followed in her late father’s footsteps in picking up an interest in music and carried his legacy. Her father heavily influenced her music.
"It’s been all my life," she told The Associated Press in 2012, referencing his influence. "It’s not something that I now listen to and it’s different. Although I might listen closer. I remain consistent on the fact that I’ve always been an admirer. He’s always influenced me."
She married Danny Keough, a Chicago-based musician, in October 1988.

The two welcomed two children, daughter Riley in 1989 and son Benjamin in 1992, and divorced in May 1994.
Less than a month later, she and Jackson got married.
"I am very much in love with Michael, I dedicate my life to being his wife. I understand and support him," she explained at the time, People reported. "We both look forward to raising a family."
The relationship lasted two years.

"The one thing that correlates with Michael and with my father on this subject is that they had the luxury of creating whatever reality around them they wanted to create," Lisa Marie told Oprah Winfrey in 2016, according to HuffPost. "They could have the kinds of people who were going to go with their program or not go with their program. If they weren't, then they could be disposed of."
Jackson died on June 25, 2009.
Lisa Marie also got engaged to musician John Oszajca in 2000, but broke it off when she met actor Nicolas Cage.
Two years later, Lisa Marie and Cage were married. They held a secret ceremony on the 25th anniversary of Elvis' death in Hawaii but split up less than four months later.
"I'm sad about this, but we shouldn't have been married in the first place," Lisa Marie explained through her publicist, Paul Bloch.

Their relationship also ended when Marie filed for divorce in June 2016. The two separated, and the divorce was finalized in 2021. A lengthy custody battle was fought over the children.
Lisa Marie was "ferociously protective" of her children, she told Healthy Living in 2014.
"I just smother them in love," she added. "They are my priority. That's what I do. That's what I care most about. I keep them close to me and make sure they are happy and healthy."

In 2020, Lisa Marie lost her son Benjamin to suicide. It fundamentally changed her life.
"My beautiful, beautiful angel, I worshiped the ground you walked on, on this earth and now in Heaven," she wrote on Instagram after his passing. "My heart and soul went with you. The depth of the pain is suffocating and bottomless without you every moment of every day."
She expressed her grief openly in the years since, most recently in an essay for People Magazine in 2022.
"I’ve dealt with death, grief and loss since the age of 9 years old. I’ve had more than anyone’s fair share of it in my lifetime, and somehow, I’ve made it this far," she wrote at the time.

"But this one, the death of my beautiful, beautiful son? The sweetest and most incredible being that I have ever had the privilege of knowing, who made me feel so honored every single day to be his mother? Who was so much like his grandfather on so many levels that he actually scared me? Which made me worry about him even more than I naturally would have?" her essay continued. "No. Just no ... no, no, no, no..."
"It's a real choice to keep going, one that I have to make every single day and one that is constantly challenging, to say the least ... But I keep going for my girls," she wrote. "I keep going because my son made it very clear in his final moments that taking care of his little sisters and looking out for them were on the forefront of his concerns and his mind. He absolutely adored them, and they him."

Marie Osmond recalls her weight struggles, being told she needed to ‘keep the food out of my fat face’
By Stephanie Nolasco Fox News
Published December 26, 2019 5:00am EST
Marie Osmond has many reasons to be thankful these days.
The singer, who recently completed her Las Vegas residency alongside her brother Donny Osmond, is keeping busy as co-host of “The Talk” where she weighs in on pressing events impacting pop culture. When the 60-year-old isn't sharing her gift of gab with audiences, she’s a proud hands-on mom of eight children, as well as a loving grandma of eight.
The star admitted she wouldn’t be able to do it all if she didn’t get healthy again. Osmond, who has endured a decades-long battle with weight, insisted she feels rejuvenated again and is eager for what the future holds for her. And when cameras stop rolling, all she wants to do is be with her family.
Osmond spoke to Fox News about her wake-up call, the harsh words she received from critics and what has kept her going in Hollywood.

FORMER VICTORIA’S SECRET MODEL NICOLE WEIDER EXPLAINS WHY SHE GAVE UP HER CAREER FOR GOD
Fox News: Could you describe that moment when you realized you wanted to make a change regarding weight?
Marie Osmond: I was taking care of my mother and I had put the weight on. You eat when you're tired. You eat inconsistently. And then you try to diet. But you’re also trying to raise a family here. I was the provider for my family, so I had to work. Eating was my way of coping with life. And you justify it, like “My bones are getting bigger.” *laughs*. Or “I’m just going to be my mother.”… Women in my family don’t live much past 60. They put weight around their stomach. They also suffer from strokes and heart attacks. That’s what took my mother’s life. And I’m the only daughter.

I have eight brothers. The last thing she said to me was “Do not do to your body what I did to mine.” Shortly after that, I was going through a divorce and I have eight children. My mother had nine, I'm the underachiever, *laughs*. But I remember my son took me aside on behalf of the kids and told me, “Mom, you’re all we have. We can’t lose you. I don’t want to hurt your feelings but you’ve got to lose weight." That was the killer punch in the gut.
I was doing “Dancing with the Stars” and I thought 50 extra pounds in spandex is not a beautiful combination. I was ready. It took me about four months to lose 50 pounds. People assume I lost it on “Dancing with the Stars” but that’s not true. I started my journey before I did that show. And while I was doing “Dancing with the Stars,” Nutrisystem found me… And it was fantastic. I was going through a divorce, a custody battle, I was dancing – but it helped me get back to my healthier, happier self. I just can’t do steamed chicken and vegetables. It doesn’t work for me… But I wanted to take care of me. And that’s what I did.

Fox News: When it came to your weight loss journey, was there ever a moment where you felt like giving up?
Osmond: There have been many moments. From the time I started "Donny & Marie," age 15 I did starvation. I would literally starve myself for three days before taping, drinking lemon water and cayenne pepper with maple syrup so I can be skinny. One day, I was taken out into a parking lot and one of the studio people told me that if I didn’t drop 10 pounds, they were going to cancel the show. They said I was an embarrassment to my family and I needed to keep the food out of my fat face.
'They said I was an embarrassment to my family and I needed to keep the food out of my fat face.'
— Marie Osmond
I was 103 pounds — I’d kill to be 103 pounds *laughs*. So I got down to 93 pounds. I never realized the mental abuse behind that. I went through other kinds, too. But those leave scars and traumas. I swear to you, every diet on the planet I tried. And when my mother passed away, I gave up on me. I wanted to be home, so I started doing a radio show.
I felt like I could take a break [from the dieting] because I was behind a microphone. But I remember looking in the mirror one day and going, “What did you do?” I knew I had to get back on track. And the thing with diets — they don’t teach you how to keep it off. You just take it off and then have to start all over again. And you’re feeling ravenous all the time. But taking care of yourself, finding the right plan will bring you so much joy. You can’t serve everybody else from a broken shell.

Fox News: You haven’t stopped working since you were a child. How have you managed to stay so grounded?
Osmond: You know, I was raised by beautiful parents who taught me to find the lessons in all of it… I wasn’t a normal child. But I grew up with teachers like Frank Sinatra. Sammy Davis Jr. taught me how to walk on stage. Lucille Ball taught me about lighting. Cyd Charisse taught me how to move and Debbie Reynolds — well, what’s not to love?
I was blessed to have such a fulfilling career. I’ve had an incredible life. I mean, there were some hard things about my life. I’ve had some difficult things happen to me as a child. But do I let that define me as a person? No, I don’t. To move forward in life, you have to thank God for the blessings you’ve been given and give back. I think that’s the secret.
Fox News: You describe yourself as an “odd celebrity.” Why?
Osmond: I guess I’m an odd celebrity because I’ve done everything from honky-tonks to Carnegie Hall. I’ve traveled all over the world, but I’ve also raised my children. I’m a celebrity who likes to cook at home, clean up her house. I get my kids to make their beds in the morning. I’m also a grandma who loves babysitting my grandkids. I remember when we were in the heat of “Donny & Marie,” I would come home after 18 hours of work. Those were hard days. We worked six days a week and memorized 350 pages of script in two and a half days.

Then you had all your dance routines and sketches. You had to go through your fittings. Weeks would double up and you felt like you were going to have an aneurism. It was so much pressure. And on top of that, I was going to school on set. But I remember one day I came home so exhausted. And my mother went, “You still need to do your chores.” I was working. I was doing "Donny & Marie." But I still had to do my chores. I had to do the dishes and clean the toilet. But it was a great lesson. You can’t believe your own press in this business. God doesn’t care if we’re celebrities. He cares about who you are as a person and what you do for others.
Fox News: You ended your Vegas residency with Donny Osmond. How did that experience bring the two of you closer, if that’s even possible?
Osmond: He lives in Utah and I live in Vegas, so sometimes we didn’t see each other until we started to do the show. But we’re still so close. Everybody’s like “Aren’t you going to miss this?” I’m like, “I still have a brother. I’m not going to lose him.” *laughs*. But I think the biggest thing is that we’re moving in different directions as performers. And there’s certainly nothing wrong with that. There’s a lot of things I want to accomplish on my own as a singer and I think it will just be a new chapter to embark on.
'God doesn’t care if we’re celebrities. He cares about who you are as a person and what you do for others.'

Fox News: You also joined “The Talk.” What made you want to sit at that table?
Osmond: I was ready for a change. Look, I worked late nights. Sometimes I didn’t get to bed until three in the morning. I remarried my first husband and ever since I’ve been in Vegas, this will be the first time since we’ve been married that I’ll be able to go out to dinner with my husband in the evening. I look forward to that.

I look forward to going in the morning and being done by noon. It’s a beautiful schedule. And I love the ladies. There’s really no prep. You just talk. They all have different opinions, and yet we respect each other. I love that concept. And we’re not negative or mean spirited. We’re there to talk through things and help each other. And I don’t have a sister so I looked forward to that sisterhood.
Fox News: Out of all the diets you tried, Nutrisystem seems to be the one that worked best for you. But why stay so dedicated to them now that you’re healthy again?
Osmond: First of all, they taught me how to keep off the weight. That's the most amazing thing that's ever happened in my life. I mean, I'm moving on 13 years of keeping my weight at a consistent rate. That's ridiculous. That’s never happened to me.

Olympian Lindsey Vonn's dogs motivate her in the gym
The retired skier brings her pups on the mountain and to the weight room
By Jessica Napoli Fox News
Published November 27, 2020 2:46pm EST
Lindsey Vonn loves hitting the gym even in retirement and her dogs inspire her to work harder every day.
The Olympian is hosting the new Amazon series "The Pack" on which 12 teams made up of owners and their canine companions compete in series of challenges in the hopes of winning the $500,000 prize and $250,000 for an animal charity.
Vonn, along with her dog Lucy, spoke to Fox News about working on the show an how it allowed her to have unique adventures.
"We got to rappel down a waterfall," she said. "We got to zip line."
The gold medal-winning skier said she signed on to participate because it was different from her sport.

"That's what I like most, you know, is that [the series] had nothing to do with skiing and it just had to do with relationships and companionship and our dogs," Vonn explained.
In fact, Lucy and her other two dogs, Bear and Leo, are with her most days whether it's on a mountain or in the gym.

"I always have her in the gym and I'm like, 'Lucy, was it a good job?' And she's just like, 'Hmm?' looking at me funny," Vonn said. "Bear and Leo they're always chasing stuff. So it's really hard to keep them contained, but it's just nice to have them in the gym. You know, honestly, wherever I am, I want my dogs to be by my side."
Recently, two of her pups were injured after chasing a porcupine.

"So...my boys got into some trouble over the weekend. They ran out of the house and chased after a porcupine...as boys do," Vonn captioned a series of photos.
The snaps she uploaded to the social media app show her two dogs covered in porcupine quills in and around their noses and mouths. In one photo, a person can be seen using a tool to pluck them out.
Fortunately for Vonn, a trip to the vet was all her dogs needed.
"Incredibly thankful that they are ok. I greatly appreciate my family and friends for helping them make it home safe and the love and care that they got from White Pine Vet. You guys are the best!" she concluded the post.

Prince William, Prince Harry could have royal showdown in NYC as battling brothers prepare for same-week trip
The ongoing rift between the brothers has stemmed from Harry and wife Meghan Markle's royal exit in 2020
By Christina Dugan Ramirez Fox News
Published August 28, 2024 3:33pm EDT
Prince Harry and Prince William could possibly be in New York City at the same time next month as they tend to their respective work commitments.
On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex told Fox News Digital that Harry is scheduled to attend the U.N. General Assembly High-level Week and Climate Week in New York City in an attempt "to advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic initiatives."
"He will participate in engagements with African Parks, The HALO Trust, The Diana Award, and Travalyst," the rep added. "In addition, he will be furthering the work of The Archewell Foundation, the nonprofit organization he co-founded with his wife Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex. More details will be shared as we approach the week of events."

The event kicks off Sept. 22 and runs through Sept. 29.
Coincidentally, according to The Earthshot Prize website, Prince William's global environmental contest and Bloomberg Philanthropies will co-host the third annual Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit at the Plaza Hotel on Sept 24. It is unclear if William will be attending this year's event.
Kensington Palace did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
PRINCE HARRY SKIPPED ROYAL WEDDING TO AVOID 'AWKWARD' ENCOUNTER WITH ESTRANGED BROTHER PRINCE WILLIAM: EXPERT
The ongoing rift between the brothers has stemmed from Harry and Markle's royal exit in 2020.

The reason for the couple's exit was cited to be what they described as the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media.
Harry flew to the U.K. to visit Charles after the monarch's cancer diagnosis in February.
However, royal commentator Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital at the time that Harry was reportedly not allowed to stay at any of the royal homes and did not have a reunion with William.

In June, the Prince of Wales attended the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, and Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral in northern England. While the Duke of Sussex was invited to attend, Harry regretfully declined in an effort to avoid an "awkward" encounter with William, a royal expert told Fox News Digital at the time.

"Even if Harry showed up and slunk into the back row, there would be enough press coverage and general hysteria over the two brothers being in the same room to overshadow the wedding entirely," Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," told Fox News Digital.

"Harry's presence would have turned the whole affair into a media circus, and he didn't want to do that to his friend," he added. "If he learned that Harry had accepted the invitation, it's likely that William would have backed out. Harry knows this."
"This is the future, I'm afraid," he concluded. "There is no sign at the moment that William is willing to give an inch."

Jennifer Coolidge, Cher and Hollywood stars who go for younger partners: Experts explain why age gaps can work
Jennifer Coolidge and Cher recently opened up about their dating lives
By Lauryn Overhultz Fox News
Published December 15, 2022 12:00pm EST
Hollywood celebrities such as Cher and Jennifer Coolidge are no strangers to age gap relationships. Cher is dating a man 40 years her junior, and Coolidge recently shared details of a wild night with a much younger man.
Fox News Digital spoke to celebrity matchmaker Alessandra Conti and psychotherapist Dr. Robi Ludwig about why relationships between celebrities of vastly different ages can actually work.
Conti explained that for her celebrity clients, age is typically a "non-issue" and mostly "ambiguous."
"With a lot of my celebrity clients, they long for a connection with someone who is like-minded and in a similar chapter of life."
"There are a variety of challenges that come into play when there is a major age gap in a relationship. Generational differences are a very real thing, so it's important for a couple to share similar values regardless of age difference."
Ludwig explained that age gap relationships for celebrities come with "additional perks."
"There is money, fame and the opportunity to live an exciting lifestyle. A lifestyle not available to them otherwise," she said. "There also can be a feeling that the partner is a prize, which increases the appreciation and reduces the stigma some age gap relationships experience."

JENNIFER COOLIDGE RECOUNTS ‘AWKWARD’ SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH 'PARTICULARLY YOUNG' MAN
Here is a look at celebrities who decided to date younger:
Jennifer Coolidge

Jennifer Coolidge, 61, recently opened up about being with much younger men after she appeared in "American Pie" in 1999.
"It did sort of open up the world to a much broader group of handsome men – and younger men," she recalled during a conversation with Ariana Grande for Entertainment Weekly.
"This one guy was particularly young – legal, of course, it was all very legal – but it was funny because we had to. ... The one moment was a little bit awkward because he. ... No, I won't get into the details."
"But afterwards, the next morning, I told him I needed to get a blow dry. So, he was so young, we called his mother to see where I could get a blow dry."
"It was so weird that happened on the phone, it was very clear that we were in the bed together," Coolidge added.
"Well, she gave me a good recommendation at a local mall, so it all worked out."
"The White Lotus" star did note that the young man was the "best d--k" she has ever had.
Cher

Cher has been dating a much younger man for a couple of months.
Cher, 76, and Alexander "AE" Edwards, 36, debuted their relationship in November. Since then, the two have been spotted holding hands on multiple occasions, and Cher has gushed about him on her personal Twitter.
The "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer labeled the relationship as "kind of ridiculous" during an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show."
"On paper, it’s kind of ridiculous," she joked. "But in real life, we get along great."
She clarified, "He's fabulous, and I don't give men qualities that they don't deserve. He's very kind. He's very smart. He's very talented, and he's really funny. And I think he's quite handsome."
"I just like somebody to make me laugh," Clarkson agreed.
Cher also explained why she doesn't date older men after being asked if it was true that she intimidates them.
"If I hadn't met younger men in my life, I would have never had a date because older men just didn't like me all that much," she told Clarkson. "Do you know what I mean?"
"I've had a couple boyfriends who were hovering around my age, but they just didn't like me for some reason. Younger men don't care if you're, you know, funny or outrageous and want to do stupid things and you have a strong personality."
"I'm not giving up my personality for anybody."
James Woods

James Woods, 75, has seemingly married 33-year-old Sara Miller. The actor was photographed in early December sporting a gold band on his ring finger.
Woods also hinted at his husband status in a social media post shared to Instagram in November.
"All the staff at Musso’s are such fantastic people," he wrote along with a photo where he toasted Miller at Musso & Frank restaurant in Los Angeles.
"They brought us champagne because they hadn’t seen us since we got married. Such sweet people!"
The "Hercules" actor previously shared a photo of Miller wearing a white gown and veil to celebrate her birthday. Although it's unclear when Woods and Miller began dating, she first publicly appeared with the actor at a red carpet event in 2017.

David Foster and wife Katharine McPhee have a 34-year age gap in their relationship.
Foster, 73, and McPhee, 38, married in 2019. The two first met in 2006 on "American Idol" when McPhee was a contestant and Foster was a guest on the show.
The two became friends and Foster even played at McPhee's first wedding in 2008. They were first romantically linked in 2017.
McPhee and Foster welcomed their first child together in 2021.
Foster has brushed off concerns about the age gap between him and McPhee.
"People always make the reference with Kat and I with the age difference, but I've always said there's so many things that can bring a marriage down, and age difference is just one of them. There's so many things that can go wrong. We think we have it pretty together," he told People magazine in February.
Billy Ray Cyrus

Billy Ray Cyrus confirmed he's engaged to singer Firerose in November.
Speculation about the couple's relationship status began in October after Cyrus shared a photo showing off a diamond ring on Firerose's hand.
Cyrus, 61, and Firerose, 34, met for the first time 12 years ago while he was filming "Hannah Montana," he revealed in a new interview with People magazine. The two became friends and kept in touch, according to the singer.
He eventually asked Firerose to be more than friends after he and his ex-wife, Tish, filed for divorce for the third time. The divorce news broke in April, and Firerose moved in with Cyrus shortly after.
In August, Cyrus proposed.
"Billy looked at me and said, 'Do you, do you want to marry me?' And I was just like, 'Of course I do. I love you,'" Firerose recalled.
"He said, ‘I love you. I want to make this official. I want to be with you forever,’" she added.

Christopher McDonald, the actor most known for his role as Shooter McGavin in the film “Happy Gilmore,” has reportedly been arrested for driving under the influence.
TMZ was the first to report that the star was driving around 9 p.m. on Saturday when he was taken into custody. He reportedly lost control of his classic silver Porsche on the highway, running it onto the grass and taking out a gas meter before ending up in an embankment.
He was taken to a local jail where he could sober up and will reportedly be released without bail. It’s unclear at this time what, specifically, his charges will be. It appears at this time that no one was hurt in the incident, including McDonald.
This isn’t the first time that the actor has been in trouble with the law for driving under the influence. In 2013, McDonald was arrested and charged with a DWI in Wilmington, North Carolina. The Wilmywood Daily reported at the time that the star was in town to film the movie “The Squeeze.”
In addition to his famous role in “Happy Gilmore,” fans might recognize McDonald as Darryl from the movie “Thelma and Louise.” His recent credits include appearances on the shows “Ballers” and “Great News.” He also appeared in the 2017 movie “Wetlands.”
Reps for McDonald did not immediately respond to Fox News request for comment. | happy-gilmore-actor-christopher-mcdonald-arrested-for-dui-in-los-angeles_3b2436ccfb3744dd8f07b5e083d38b55.png |

Hill also celebrated their anniversary on Instagram, posting a photo of the two of them backstage at a concert, writing, "27 years married to this man. My one and only. Happy Anniversary baby. I love you."
The couple got married in 1996, shortly after they began dating. They have three daughters together: Gracie, Maggie and Audrey.

"They're the life of the party every time they're around," McGraw told Entertainment Tonight in August about his daughters. "They just inspire us in so many ways. I'd love to do a song with all five of us at some point. I talk about it all the time, and they're like, 'I ain't singing with you, dad.'"
McGraw has also been open about he and Hill experiencing their share of hardships in the 27 years they've been together. While he can't pin down the "key" to a successful marriage, he told Entertainment Tonight Canada, "We just made a commitment early on," when discussing marriage and children, "that we wouldn’t just walk out the door when problems arose."

McGraw recently shared that he "would've died" had he not married Hill. The "It’s Your Love" crooner, who battled addiction and a 15-year struggle with sobriety, admitted Hill was always his saving grace.
"I guarantee you, had I not gotten married to Faith at 29 years old, A, I probably would've ran my career into the ground, and, B, I would've died already with my career into the ground, one or the other, and it wouldn't have ever been where it's at now," McGraw told Apple Music host Zane Lowe.
McGraw and Hill released their first-ever album together in 2017, "The Rest of Our Life," which features duets such as "The Bed We Made" and "Speak to a Girl," as well as solo tracks.

"After being married for 25 years, both of us felt that would be the most authentic way that we could portray Margaret and James. And we just didn’t want either one of us to have a preconceived notion of what they would be. We just wanted it to be real and as authentic as possible," Hill said.

On probation for defending themselves? Exclusive: Gonzaga students speak out
By Fox News
Published November 13, 2013 12:25pm EST | Updated March 30, 2018 2:55am EDT
Two Gonzaga University students are facing possible expulsion for flashing a handgun to ward off an intruder.
Erik Fagan and Dan McIntosh were at their university-owned apartment when a homeless man knocked on their door demanding money. Fagan offered the man a blanket and a can of food but refused to hand over any cash, he said. The man became combative and tried to force his way inside.
Fagan shouted for McIntosh, who came downstairs holding a loaded 10 mm Glock pistol and scared the man away.
The suspect was later arrested and identified as a wanted felon. But university policy forbids students from possessing firearms on school property.
Now, in their first national TV interview, Fagan and McIntosh are speaking out.

Afton Williamson responds after 'Rookie' investigation concludes 'no inappropriate behavior' occurred
By Sasha Savitsky Fox News
Published September 18, 2019 8:54am EDT
Afton Williamson says she's "heartbroken" after her claims of misconduct on the set of "The Rookie" weren't substantiated by an independent investigator.
The ABC drama series' producer and production company Entertainment One said Tuesday the investigation led it to conclude no unlawful or inappropriate behavior was committed by the co-workers accused by Williamson.
William said on Instagram Tuesday that the investigation’s conclusion was "heartbreaking for everyone on that set, past and present."
'THE ROOKIE' STAR QUITS ABC SHOW, CITING CLAIMS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
She wrote that "what saddens me the most is that the lengths that were taken to deceive, lie, and cover up the truth were far greater than those made to protect and maintain a safe working environment for employee" and she vowed to "continue to work so that casts and crews alike finally see words align with action."

In early August, "The Rookie" co-star said she was quitting the show because of sexual harassment and racial discrimination she experienced during its freshman year last season.
The probe, which began in late June, involved some 400 hours of interviews and review of video and other evidence, Entertainment One said in a statement. The full report wasn't released for privacy reasons, said the company known as eOne.

The executive producers, one of whom Williamson previously accused of mishandling her allegations, were found to have "addressed matters of which they were made aware promptly and in a fair and reasonable manner," eOne said.
The company said it recognizes that people view situations through their own "experiences and perspectives," adding that it regretted that "Ms. Williamson's time on the series was not a positive one for her, and we respect her decision to move on to other projects."
A separate statement from the Disney-owned network welcomed the probe's completion.

"We are confident that eOne takes these matters seriously and that they will continue to look for the best ways to surface concerns and address complaints," ABC and ABC Studios said in a joint statement.
The law firm of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp hired third-party EXTTI, a firm that investigates allegations of workplace misconduct and discrimination, to handle the probe, eOne said.

Jon Gosselin denies abuse allegations from 16-year-old son Collin
The father of eight has been accused of kicking and punching his son
By Nate Day Fox News
Published September 11, 2020 2:06am EDT
The story of the Gosselin family has taken yet another turn as reports of dysfunction have plagued the 10-person crew for years since Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce.
Collin, the pair's 16-year-old son, has accused Jon of beating him, which Jon, 43, denies.
"Jon has never abused Collin," a rep for the dad of eight told E! News. "No charges have been filed against him and there's no ongoing CYS investigation. Collin has endured severe trauma. Jon is a loving father who has worked hard to ensure that his son gets the support and help he needs."
JON GOSSELIN SLAMS EX-WIFE KATE GOSSELIN FOR NOT WORKING AS A NURSE AMID CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC DESPITE HAVING LICENSE
The comment follows a report from People magazine that states that County of Berks, Pennsylvania Child & Youth Services (CYS) has opened an investigation into an incident between Jon and Collin.

Collin's mother Kate has reportedly been informed of the investigation.
According to the outlet, Collin accused his father of abuse in a since-deleted Instagram post last week.
"My dad is a liar," Collin wrote, per People. "Yesterday he beat me up and thought nothing of it, he punched me in the face and gave me a swollen nose and I started bleeding. He then continued to kick me in the ribs after I was on the floor. He is a liar."
A CYS report states that the allegation against an attacker is "causing bodily injury to a child through recent act/failure to act: hitting/punching."
JON GOSSELIN CLAIMS HE 'PRETTY MUCH BANKRUPTED' HIMSELF AMID DIVORCE FROM KATE GOSSELIN
Jon is reportedly not named in the report.
Kate, 45, spoke to the outlet about the alleged incident.
"You do not punch and kick your children. You do not kick a child. I don’t want to hear any excuses from anyone, not from his father, not from local law enforcement, not from court personnel whose job is supposedly to ensure the best interests of my children," she said. "There is a child abuse law, PA 23, section 8i states that doing any of the following, regardless of whether it causes injury, is child abuse, and first on that list is kicking. Period."
The former reality star explained that she doesn't "want [her] children around him."
"Enough is enough," she added.

Kate stressed that she does not want this allegation to be "buried, swept under the rug or minimized."
"As a mother, I am not going to sit quietly and idly by while my child, any of my children, is assaulted by anyone, let alone their own father," she continued. "I am spotlighting this, and I will keep shouting about it, in the hopes that the authorities and the courts will finally do the right thing. Do not return my child to an abuser’s home. Jon needs to be charged with a crime. If this were your child, would you feel okay with having it swept under the rug?"
JON GOSSELIN TAKES SON COLLIN TO GET CHRISTMAS TREE MONTHS AFTER HE ALLEGED EX-WIFE KATE 'ABUSED' TEEN
Child & Youth Services could not immediately be reached for comment. Reps for Jon and Kate did not immediately respond.
A source further detailed the alleged incident to the outlet.
"Collin got furious and was screaming and swearing. When they got home, he was still screaming and cursing and he went into the garage and got ... a big heavy bottle of liquid — and hurled it at Jon’s car, denting it," said the insider. "Jon got out of the car enraged, put him in a headlock, punched him square in the nose, and when Collin fell to the ground, then he kicked him in the ribs."
The source claimed that Collin then called the police.
Berks County District Attorney John Adams told People that "there has been no charges or citations filed as a result of that incident. That’s the only incident we are aware of at this point and there was no citation or charges filed as a result of the incident."
Jon and Kate were married for 10 years before divorcing in 2009. They share eight children -- as the title of their show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" -- 19-year-old twins Cara and Madelyn, and 16-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Aaden, Joel, Leah, Hannah and Collin.

Selena Gomez and Julia Michaels connected over their ‘sh—ty’ exes while songwriting
By Julius Young Fox News
Published December 6, 2019 8:09pm EST
Selena Gomez and her longtime songwriting partner Julia Michaels have done some of their best work while reeling over the ex-men in their life who have broken their hearts.
The 26-year-old Michaels discussed her storied professional relationship with Gomez, 27, on Friday as the California singer-songwriter has helped the former Disney standout construct some of her most successful hits, including Gomez’s recent smash “Love You to Lose Me.”
“When [Gomez and I] first started working together [in 2013], it started as me writing the songs,” Michaels told Variety.
She continued: “I walked in to the session one day because she wanted to change some words to the song, and [Gomez] was like, ‘We must be going through the exact same thing because you’re writing everything that I feel.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, cool, you had a s---ty ex-boyfriend too? Let’s go!'”
SELENA GOMEZ REVEALS THIGH TATTOO AFTER AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS PERFORMANCE
In describing her writing process, Michaels said she takes a literal approach to the art, adding that her biggest inspirations come from the conversations she has with loved ones and with herself.
“That helps me figure out what I want to say lyrically,” she told the outlet. “I write everything as if you’re talking to the person you’ve wanted to confront; if you could say it to somebody, why couldn’t you say it exactly how you would in a song?”
HAILEY BALDWIN SLAMS 'FALSE DRAMA' AFTER SELENA GOMEZ FEUD RUMORS: 'THIS HAS TO STOP'
When Gomez premiered “Lose You to Love Me” in late October, fans immediately speculated that the telling record was inspired by her highly-publicized relationship to ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, 25, whom the “Wolves” performer began dating in late 2011 before ending their long-running on-again-off-again relationship for good in March 2018.

'Rust' gaffer, who held Halyna Hutchins in his ‘arms while she was dying,' returns to LA after on-set tragedy
Serge Svetnoy recently paid tribute to cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was fatally shot on the 'Rust' set
By Nate Day Fox News
Published October 26, 2021 11:31pm EDT
Serge Svetnoy, a gaffer for the film "Rust," has returned to Los Angeles after a tragic on-set shooting left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead.
The incident occurred on Thursday in New Mexico when star Alec Baldwin discharged a firearm he was told was "cold" or "unloaded" during rehearsal. A projectile was fired, striking both Hutchins and director Joel Souza, who obtained injuries but has since been released from the hospital.
Svetnoy took to social media over the weekend to pay tribute to Hutchins and revealed that he "was holding her in [his] arms while she was dying."
Now, the electrician has returned to Los Angeles.

He was seen wearing a black North Face tracksuit with dark glasses and his hair tied up in a bun. Svetnoy also wore jewelry on both hands for his outing in California.
In his touching Facebook post, Svetnoy recalled working with Hutchins on "almost all of her films," sometimes even sharing food and water with one another.
ALEC BALDWIN'S 'RUST' MOVIE SHOOTING: CRIMINAL CHARGES 'ON THE TABLE,' DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS
"Yes, I was standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Halyna during this fatal shot that took her life and injured the director Joel Souza," he wrote alongside a picture of himself and his former colleague sitting together. "I was holding her in my arms while she was dying. Her blood was on my hands."
He claimed Hutchins' death is "the fault of negligence and unprofessionalism."
"The negligence from the person who was supposed to check the weapon on the site did not do this; the person who had to announce that the loaded gun was on the site did not do this; the person who should have checked this weapon before bringing it to the set did not do it," he continued. "And the DEATH OF THE HUMAN IS THE RESULT!"
ALEC BALDWIN NOT ASKED TO STAY IN NEW MEXICO DURING 'RUST' MOVIE INVESTIGATION: POLICE
He added: "I’m sure that we had the professionals in every department, but one – the department that was responsible for the weapons. There is no way a twenty-four-year-old woman can be a professional with armory; there is no way that her more-or-less the same-aged friend from school, neighborhood, Instagram, or God knows where else, can be a professional in this field."

Svetnoy then mentions the film's producers directly.
"I understand that you always fight for the budget, but you cannot allow this to happen. There should always be at least one professional in each department who knows the job. It is an absolute must to avoid such a tragedy, like the tragedy with Halyna," he stated.

Finally, Svetnoy mentions Baldwin.
"I do not wish anyone to go through what I went through, what her husband @Matt Hutchins and her son Andros went through, and the actor Alec Baldwin, who has been handed a gun on set. He has to live with the thought that he took the life of the human because of unprofessional people."
Production on "Rust" has been suspended until the investigation is over, Fox News confirmed on Monday.

Liam Payne was "breaking the whole room" while intoxicated before his fatal fall from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, according to a 911 call via Reuters.
"We have a guest who is intoxicated by drugs and alcohol. And, well, he's... When he's conscious, he breaks, he's breaking the whole room. And, well, we need you to send someone, please," the 911 call from the Casa Sur Palermo Hotel said.
"We need you to send someone urgently because, well, I don't know if the guest's life is at risk. He has a room with a balcony. And, well, we are a little afraid that he will do something that will put his life at risk."

Samantha Hoopes' Swimsuit Selfie, Justin Timberlake's Rat Problem, and Much, Much More
By Fox News
Published August 11, 2015 8:05am EDT | Updated February 21, 2017 12:01pm EST
Here's what all the fuss is about:
• SI swimsuit model and new Carl's Jr. spokeswoman Samantha Hoopes shared a bikini selfie on Monday, looking like she's either trying to show us a tanline or a tattoo (above). We understand this isn't really news, per se; we just thought we'd share because we've got a sneaking suspicion she's never actually eaten one of those All-American Thickburgers she shills on TV.
• Speaking of swimsuit models, we recently met up with potential Swimsuit Issue rookie Teresa Moore, who's currently in the midst of the Sports Illustrated casting process. Find out more about Moore and her previous work below, which oddly doesn't include any Thickburgers whatsoever:
• Justin Timberlake's NYC restaurant Southern Hospitality has reportedly been found to contain "evidence of mice or live mice present" by health inspectors. But take it from us here at FNM: That's not really a big deal. We New Yorkers tend to assume most of the city's eateries contain mice, if not the meals themselves.
• A new Korean television commercial for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has made its way online, and it features all sorts of clips and characters not yet seen in American ads (below). This only goes to prove, once again, that South Korea gets all the cool stuff before us. Have you seen these Banana McFlurries they have at their McDonald's?
• Zac Efron has reportedly signed on to co-star in Paramount's big-screen adaptation of "Baywatch" alongside Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. In related news, David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson have yet to confirm if they'll be making cameo appearances, but c'mon. Of course they are.
• According to reports like this one from the Telegraph, "Thinking Out Loud" singer Ed Sheeran is now dating former Pussycat Doll and "Dancing With the Stars" champion Nicole Scherzinger. It's too early to tell how serious the relationship is, but one thing is certain: If these two ever get married, the guests are in for one helluva first dance:
• Stephen Colbert announced on Monday that the first musical guest on his debut episode of "The Late Show" will be rapper Kendrick Lamar, partially because he was Colbert's last guest on "The Colbert Report," but also partially because they probably couldn't secure Bob Dylan or Billy Joel.
• On Sunday, HBO debuted the first trailer for their new series "Westworld" (below), which is based on the 1973 sci-fi film of the same name. The preview doesn't reveal much in the way of performance or plot, but no matter: If our latest dalliance with "True Detective" is any indication, we're going to watch this thing regardless of whether it's any good or not.
• According to the Daily Mail, Jennifer Garner has hired two new babysitters in the wake of Ben Affleck's alleged tryst with their old nanny. These two women, however, are also quite young and attractive, which makes us wonder why celebrities never hire any homely nannies for their kids. Seems like it would solve a lot of problems.
• Just hours after her 18th birthday, Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend Tyga shared the same provocative photo of Jenner pawing at herself in a soaking-wet skin-tight dress (below). Kylie also posted several other racy photos on Instagram, presumably because — as the final Kardashian sister to come of age — she's got plenty of lost time to make up for. | samantha-hoopes-swimsuit-selfie-justin-timberlakes-rat-problem-and-much-much-more_a45a3817dd8f46a79274c1731893a5e0.png |

Princess Diana called King Charles 'a nightmare' to horrified Queen Elizabeth: author
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, has written a new book about the reigning monarch and the late queen, 'My Mother and I'
By Stephanie Nolasco Fox News
Published April 11, 2024 4:00am EDT
When Princess Diana’s marriage was deteriorating behind palace doors, the heartbroken royal turned to her mother-in-law, but her pleas went unanswered.
The claim was made by Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine and author of "My Mother and I." The book explores King Charles’ relationship with his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. England’s longest-reigning monarch died in 2022 at age 96.
"Diana used to go to her private room in between appointments that the queen had, which were every 20 minutes, and burst into tears," Seward told Fox News Digital. "[She would[ say], ‘Everybody hates me mama, and I hate my husband. He’s a nightmare.’

"The queen would just stand there [horrified], and Diana would be getting more and more hysterical," Seward claimed. "[The queen] didn’t know how to handle it, but she thought Charles should know how to handle it. That was a very low point in the relationship."
Diana and Charles were first introduced in 1977 by her sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, who briefly dated the prince. The pair wouldn’t date until three years later, People magazine reported. After a whirlwind courtship, the couple married in 1981.
Despite what seend a fairy tale wedding, the union was plagued with problems. In 1986, Charles confirmed in an authorized biography that he began an affair with his longtime love, Camilla Parker Bowles, in 1986.

In 1992, Diana confirmed her marital woes in Andrew Morton’s book, "Diana Her True Story." In it, she detailed her mental health struggles while attempting to navigate royal life. Diana said she suffered from bulimia and suicide attempts.
Charles and Diana separated in 1992. The divorce was finalized in 1996. Diana died in 1997 from injuries she sustained in a car crash. The Princess of Wales was 36. Charles and Camilla married in 2005.
According to Seward, the queen wondered why her son, the heir to the throne, struggled to save the marriage.

"It had a huge impact," Seward explained. "The queen couldn’t understand how her son, who was in his early 30s, couldn’t handle a woman who was only in her early 20s. And she didn’t understand because she didn’t have the experience to understand something like that.
"Remember the cloistered world of the royal family, especially in those days," Seward continued. "They didn’t have to ever deal with moral conflict because there was always someone else to do it for them. If you didn’t want to talk to someone, the switchboard at Buckingham Palace would just not put them through. So, you never had to take on things. And the queen wasn’t used to doing this."
For the 25th anniversary edition of "Diana: Her True Story," Morton published a transcript of Diana’s interviews in which she described her cries for help.

"I threw myself down the stairs [at Sandringham]," said Diana, as quoted by Newsweek. "Charles said I was crying wolf, and I said I felt so desperate, and I was crying my eyes out, and he said, ‘I’m not going to listen. You’re always doing this to me. I’m going riding now.’"
The incident took place when Diana was pregnant with her firstborn, Prince William.
"So I threw myself down the stairs," said Diana, as quoted by the outlet. "The queen comes out, absolutely horrified, shaking – she was so frightened. I knew I wasn’t going to lose the baby; quite bruised around the stomach."

"Charles went out riding and when he came back, you know, it was just dismissal, total dismissal," Diana shared. "He just carried on out the door."
Seward said that looking at the doomed marriage decades later, it’s easy to see why it failed.
"Charles wasn’t a very mature man," she said. "She was incredibly immature. They were completely unsuited. Diana said many, many, many years later to me, ‘If only we’d met at a different time in our lives.’ Diana was 19 when she met Charles, and she was a very naïve 19. She had a fixed idea in her mind of what she thought Charles was, and he wasn’t at all."

Seward alleged in her book that the late queen thought Diana would have been better suited for her younger son, Prince Andrew, than her eldest. Charles and Diana had an age gap of 15 years between them.
"Andrew was certainly much more Diana’s age, and they’d known each other," said Seward. "Diana used to go to parties at … Sandringham. … Diana would go and have tea with the royal children who were much more her age, which would [have] been Prince Edward and Prince Andrew.
"The queen … said, ‘Oh, I thought she would’ve been suitable for Andrew,’" Seward said. "She thought that Diana was perhaps a little more in love with the idea of marrying a prince than the actual idea of what the person was like."

Seward said she never had the chance to ask Diana about her brother-in-law, coined the "Playboy Prince" and "Randy Andy" by the tabloids for his high-profile romances with models and socialites. Seward insisted they were always pals and nothing more.
"I think they always used to get on very well, and they laughed a lot together," said Seward. "I’m sure Andrew thought she was wonderful, but she probably wasn’t his type really. … He always liked quite sophisticated women, and I don’t think Diana would’ve put up with him. But I think they got along very well as friends."
Andrew married Diana’s friend, Sarah Ferguson, in 1986. The couple called it quits in 1996.

When asked if anyone within the palace thought Diana would have been a better match for Edward, Seward quickly replied "No."
"I don’t think Diana and Edward were at all alike," she said. "I’m not sure that they really liked each other very much. Edward was very, very different from Diana. And no, they weren’t even particularly good friends. So that was never in the cards."
Edward has been married to Sophie, Countess of Wessex, since 1999.

According to Seward’s book, Diana’s father, Earl Spencer, convinced his daughter that she shouldn’t call off her wedding to Charles.
It was at Andrew’s 21st birthday party at Windsor Castle that Diana was hoping to dance with her fiancé. Instead, the prince "spent the entire evening dutifully working the room and making sure he spoke to as many people as possible."
"Diana was in despair," Seward wrote. "Her fiancé had been away in America for most of the previous week, yet he clearly had no desire to dance with her. Feeling emotionally drained, she threw herself into dancing frantically with one man after another – and finally just dancing by herself."

Seward claimed that footman Mark Simpson spotted Diana "looking exhausted and lost in her thoughts yet still moving in slow, rhythmic time to some tune in her head." Seward wrote that Diana later left the party "distraught, flustered, angry and had no intention of ever going back.
"But when she explained her decision to her father, Earl Spencer, he was appalled," Seward wrote. "After calming her down, he pointed out it would be an act of gross discourtesy to break off her engagement to the future king so close to the wedding.
"And, anyway, wasn't it what she'd always wanted?" she continued. "Didn't she remember him telling her that she should only marry a man she loved – and her firm reply: ‘That is what I am doing?’ Diana wasn't immediately convinced."

But eventually, after "gusts of tears and spells of indecision," Diana "allowed her father to talk her round."
"She couldn't deny that she still wanted to be the Princess of Wales," Seward wrote. "And, at 19, she was young enough still to believe in happy endings, despite what her instincts had told her on that terrible night."

David Letterman Admits Affairs at Center of Extortion Arrest
Associated Press
Published October 2, 2009 12:00am EDT | Updated April 11, 2016 3:28pm EDT
David Letterman walks from the Ed Sullivan Theater after taping "The Late Show with David Letterman" Thursday, Dec. 1, 2005, in New York. Attorneys for the television talk show host filed a motion Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2005, asking a judge to quash a restraining order granted to a Santa Fe, N.M., woman who contends the celebrity used code words to show that he wanted to marry her and train her as his co-host.(AP Photo/Adam Rountree)
Late-night host David Letterman acknowledged on Thursday's show that he had sexual relationships with female employees and that someone tried to extort $2 million from him over the affairs. CBS says an employee has been charged with attempted grand larceny in the case.
Letterman told his story during a taping of his show, mixing in jokes to an audience that seemed confused about what it was. He called it a "bizarre experience" that left him feeling disturbed and menaced.
Click here for a clip of Letterman addressing the affairs, extortion.
In a release from the show's production company, Letterman said he referred the matter to the Manhattan district attorney's office. An investigation ended in an arrest Thursday after Letterman issued a phony $2 million check to keep the matter silent.
The network said late Thursday the person who was arrested works on the true-crime show "48 Hours" and has been suspended. A person with knowledge of the investigation said the suspect is Robert J. Halderman. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because authorities have not released the suspect's name.
A "48 Hours" producer named Joe Halderman was part of a team nominated for an Emmy for outstanding continuing coverage of a news story in a news magazine in 2008.
Two numbers listed for Halderman were disconnected, and a message left at a third number was not immediately returned Thursday.
The late-night comic began his show by walking onstage and briefly leaning on a pillar with his back to the audience. Then he gave a monologue with jokes against frequent foils like Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin. He told his personal story after sitting behind his desk.
He said he was glad the audience was in a pleasant mood "because I have a little story that I'd like to tell you and the home viewers as well."
Three weeks ago, Letterman said he got in his car early in the morning and found a package with a letter saying "I know that you do some terrible, terrible things and that I can prove you do some terrible things." He acknowledged the letter contained proof.
Letterman said he called his lawyer to set up a meeting with the man, who threatened to write a screenplay and a book about Letterman unless he was given money. There were two subsequent meetings with the man, the last one resulting in the check being delivered.
He told the audience that he had to testify before a grand jury on Thursday.
"I was worried for myself, I was worried for my family," he said. "I felt menaced by this, and I had to tell them all of the creepy things that I had done."
"The creepy stuff was that I have had sex with women who work for me on this show," he said. "My response to that is yes, I have. Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Yes, it would, especially for the women."
Whether they wanted to make the relationships public was up to them, he said.
"It's been a very bizarre experience," he said. "I felt like I needed to protect these people. I need to protect my family. I need to protect myself. Hope to protect my job."
Letterman mixed in jokes while telling the story, keeping his audience off guard.
"I know what you're saying," he said. "I'll be darned, Dave had sex."
It was not immediately clear when the relationships took place; Letterman and longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko married in March. The couple began dating in 1986 and have a son, Harry, born in November 2003.
CBS spokesman Chris Ender said Thursday that "Letterman's comments on the broadcast tonight speak for themselves."
It's the second set of embarrassing headlines for Letterman in four months. In June, he apologized to Sarah Palin for making a crude joke about the former Republican vice presidential candidate's 14-year-old daughter. Although there was a small "fire Letterman" demonstration outside of his studio later, CBS stood by its late-night star.
After nearly 15 years in second place to NBC's Jay Leno in the ratings, Letterman took over the top spot this summer after Conan O'Brien became "Tonight" show host.
Letterman's CBS "Late Show" has been on the air since 1993 and before that, he had a late-night show on NBC from 1982 to 1993.
Alicia Maxey Greene, a spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney's office, declined to comment.
Letterman was also the victim of a 2005 plot by a former painter on his Montana ranch to kidnap his nanny and son for a $5 million ransom. The former painter, Kelly A. Frank, briefly escaped from prison in 2007 before being recaptured.
Another alleged extortion scandal surrounding a public figure, Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino, similarly forced him this summer to acknowledge an affair. | david-letterman-admits-affairs-at-center-of-extortion-arrest_1776da90f4ac4ea6a090f55c53758a7e.png |

Van Halen's David Lee Roth teases coming out of retirement
David Lee Roth talks 'Van Halen' retirement
By Tracy Wright Fox News
Published May 31, 2022 4:32pm EDT
David Lee Roth alluded to coming out of "retirement" and plans to return to the stage with a "Van Halen" tribute band after performing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico over the weekend.
The 67-year-old "Van Halen" lead singer was spotted leaving the Los Angeles International Airport where he admitted he was "only in the middle of my first retirement" months after canceling a Las Vegas residency due to the coronavirus.
Roth was the original vocalist of the hard rock band, which formed in the early ‘70s with late guitarist Eddie Van Halen, drummer Alex Van Halen and bassist Mark Stone. Roth embarked on a solo career in 1985, and Sammy Hagar picked up on lead vocals.
The "Runnin’ with the Devil" singer was in high spirits after performing at a "birthday party for somebody who grew up" listening to the band.
When asked if Roth was going back on tour any time soon, he simply responded: "There’s always a tomorrow for a singer, not so much for a trombone player these days."

He added: "How many times did Rocky retire? Seven. I think No. 3 was my favorite? How many times did Rambo have to come out of retirement in order to make the sequel?"
Roth announced he was stepping away from the stage in October 2021, which would coincide with a string of shows in Las Vegas at the end of the year leading into 2022.
"I am throwing in the shoes. I’m retiring," he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal at the time. "This is the first, and only, official announcement."
When asked about the possibilities of a "Van Halen" tribute band, including Pink and guitarist Joe Satriani, Roth said: "Ya, I wrote the songs… I was the one who named the band."
He added: "I'm only in the middle of my first retirement."
Roth's retirement came early as he was scheduled to perform a string of send-off shows at the House of Blues in Las Vegas earlier this year, only for the performances to be canceled due to coronavirus concerns.
He previously postponed shows scheduled for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, and was scheduled to play a total of nine shows as part of his farewell to the stage.
The shows were scheduled to take place on Dec. 31, 2021, and Jan. 1, 5, 7 and 8 of 2022.
DAVID LEE ROTH CANCELS REMAINING LAS VEGAS SHOW DATES AMID CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS: ‘IT’S NOT ABOUT ME ANYMORE'
When asked if Roth will whisk himself away in another capacity as his Vegas shows were to be his final curtain call, Roth told Fox News Digital in a statement, "It's not about me anymore. When the benefits for Kentucky, Colorado, and Farm Aid kick in; Call me."
Roth said that the recent "departure of my beloved classmate" — a clear reference to the late Eddie Van Halen — had been on his mind when he announced his retirement in October.
"I am encouraged and compelled to really come to grips with how short time is, and my time is probably even shorter," Roth said.
He admitted that he expected to be "the first" member of Van Halen to pass away.

"'Hey Ed, objects in the rear-view mirror are probably me,’" the musician said. "And my doctors, my handlers, compelled me to really address that every time I go on stage, I endanger that future."
He explained that for 50 years, he gave audiences his all, as he would ask any performer on stage to do, "whether you come out with a ukulele or a marching band."
Roth recalled his early days with the band when they'd be paid less than $200 per night, spending most of the money on gas.

"It was the Saturday Night Supper Club, we’d get there at 3 in the morning, and order everything on the menu, all three banana splits, the Grand Slam Breakfasts with the bacon, and the ones with the sausage," Roth remembered. "We pulled two tables together… This cop came walking in — this was Cop Town — and asked, ‘Who are you all?’ I said, ‘Sir, we’re a rock ‘n’ roll band!’ He said, ‘Do you have enough money to pay for all this?’ And we all pulled our $125 green, crisp, sweat-through-your-[expletive]-shoes, money."
He added that he remembers those days "like they were yesterday" and recently reminisced on that very story with Alex Van Halen about the late guitarist who died of a stroke on Oct. 6, 2020.
"I just found some pants upstairs. I save some of the old clothes," revealed the star, who was also known for colorful and fashion-forward outfits. "I was a size 29. Eddie was a size 26. That’s where we came from."
"I’ve got a band that is doing what Al and I used to call a ‘block,’ that means 75 rehearsals for one show," Roth said of his upcoming shows. "We are bringing it in classic VH style. Alex and I are the only version, that was his message. There is no other variation. There is no torch being passed. There is no other side to this coin. This is classic, in-your-face Van Halen."
He concluded saying that his career has "been an amazing, great run," adding that he has "no regrets, nothing to say about anybody."
The rocker added: "I’ll miss you all. Stay frosty."

By Stephanie Giang-Paunon Fox News

Country star Dierks Bentley is reflecting on his music career ahead of his summer tour.
With the release of his much-anticipated project "Gravel & Gold," Bentley explained how his tenth studio album ranges from bluegrass music tracks to traditional country music.
"I've tried to change and grow … get better at what I'm doing. But, at the end of the day, I'm still the same guy I've always been. Making music that feels good to me," Bentley told People magazine in an interview.
"I've got nothing to lose."

Bentley admitted he enjoys going with the flow of his music, and he never predetermines what the end result of his album will sound like.
"I don't know what the sound of a particular album is ever going to be," Bentley told the outlet.

"I don't feel like I need to try to put it in words. I just live in that uncomfortable knife's edge of uncertainty, which is not a fun place to be, but that's really where anything good comes from."
Despite his successful career, the 47-year-old musician expressed he’s always looking for ways to improve his music while creating tracks he personally enjoys.
Once the coronavirus pandemic gripped the country in 2020, Bentley found himself at a crossroads with his professional career and personal life.
"I was living in Colorado, and all I knew for sure is that I just wanted to stay there," Bentley confessed.

Hysteria at Enrique Iglesias gig in Sri Lanka deserves whip punishment, president says
By Fox News
Published December 28, 2015 10:10am EST | Updated January 4, 2017 12:14am EST

Don’t go throwing your underwear at pop concerts in Sri Lanka unless you’re willing to risk getting flagellated with marine life.
The president of the island nation off the coast of India was so dismayed at the behavior of female fans at an Enrique Iglesias concert that he called for a return of a traditional medieval torture.
"This is most uncivilized behavior that goes against our culture," President Maithripala Sirisena said at a public meeting, according to the BBC.
During the concert, which took place earlier this month in the capital city of Colombo, the ladies were seen throwing their panties and removing their bras.
And just in case that you thought President Sirisena was some sort of retrograde throwback, it isn’t the women he wants to punish.
"I don't advocate that these uncivilized women who removed their brassieres should be beaten with toxic stingray tails,” he said, “but those who organized such an event should be."
He was also outraged that tickets for the concert cost between 5,000 and 35,000 Sri Lankan rupees, or about $35 to $250, the more expensive of which came with free alcoholic beverages.
The president made the comments while speaking at an event this weekend in the Ampara District east of Colombo.
“I need to say these things,” the Colombo Gazette quoted him as saying. “As a Sinhalese Buddhist, I cannot refrain from expressing my views. I will speak out when our traditions and culture are harmed.”
The concert, part of Iglesias’ “Sex and Love” world tour, was promoted by Live Events Sri Lanka, which is owned by two former cricket stars, Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardena.
According to the BBC, whipping people with toxic stingray tails was a form of torture employed on hardened criminals during the Middle Ages in Sri Lanka and is still used conversationally to indicate some act or person who deserves severe punishment.

Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal search for missing children and Oscars in “Prisoners,” a blisteringly intense master class in suspense and character from director Denis Villeneuve (“Incendies”).
Morally ambiguous characters are laid bare in this complex mystery; add to that a fervently-taut script, creating a recipe for an intense two and a half-hour thrill ride. To have nerves rattled for such a length takes quite a toll -- it’s exhausting, actually. But when the film comes to a close, those shot nerves are worth every second of “Prisoners.” This is highly satisfying mystery/suspense nearly at its finest.
What would you do if your child went missing and you were absolutely convinced you knew who did it but the police couldn’t prove it? To what lengths beyond the law would you go? Hugh Jackman is Keller Dover and when his daughter and her friend go missing on Thanksgiving afternoon, a seemingly dormant beast is awoken within as he takes matters into his own hands, blurring the lines of justice. As the police follow every lead, Keller sets his sights on Alex Jones (Paul Dano), a mentally-challenged drifter who was spotted in a dilapidated RV near the scene of the crime.
“Prisoners” bounces between Keller’s manic search and Jake Gyllenhaal’s Detective Loki, the brooding cop assigned to the case, who not only has to contend with fiery emotions from Keller, his wife Grace (Maria Bello) and the Birches (Terrence Howard and Viola Davis), he has to navigate around an ineffectual police department as well as uphold his own perfect record. Like David Fincher’s “Zodiac,” Gyllenhaal is excellent as a stoic yet determined cop, deftly balancing a slight obsession with the burdens of an around-the-clock job.
Yes, on the surface the missing children are supposed prisoners to the unknown kidnapper, but Villeneuve dumps salt on each character’s open wounds, thus searing their emotions and revealing their own internal imprisonment by their fear, grief, anger and even history. Like reality’s game with duality, what’s on the surface may not necessarily be what is beneath. We never know Loki’s backstory, but Gyllenhal frequently alludes to an unpleasant past which fuels his intensity as a detective. The character is rich enough without one, and only including a lengthy backstory would risk convoluting an otherwise tight script.
Mysteries, like any genre film, can easily succumb to the pratfalls of the genre. Clues can be too obvious or spoiled immediately. They mystery might not be compelling enough to warrant a care in the world. Or it could tumble into a plot hole with irreparable damage. But Aaron Guzikowski’s savvy screenplay avoids these by not only being a fiery pot-boiler but also an intricate character study. As the mystery deepens and becomes more complex, so does Dover; as he descends further into despair and his rampage intensifies, it becomes questionable whether Dover had this streak in him all along or if having his daughter kidnapped truly sparked his rage. Pitting his franchise role of Wolverine in the same year as Keller Dover really shows this Aussie’s dynamic range. From “Les Miserable” to “Prisoners,” Jackman is currently one of the best dramatic actors.
Talent abounds from Jackman’s intense performance to Gyllenhal’s collected, but increasingly frustrated detective. Paul Dano is positively chilling as the suspect Alex Jones; as a severely disturbed young man, Jones is both frightening and pathetic, again with theme of contrasting duality. Maria Bello, Viola Davis, Terrence Howard and Melissa Leo all turn in heavy-hitting performances. Leo has always been one of the best actresses at grounding a character in reality, which she does again here as the aloof, yet defensive mother to Alex Jones.
A standout in “Prisoners” is the stellar cinematography by the inimitable Roger Deakins, who develops an increasingly eerie atmosphere; to contrast the blurred lines throughout the story, Deakins often sets within the same frame incredible use of chiaroscuro, or shadow and light, with deafeningly opaque blacks alongside bursts of brilliant light as if the characters are standing on the precipice of a void. It is Deakins, more than anyone, who truly captures the imprisonment of Jackman’s hope as he succumbs to his reckless desire for vengeance.
“Prisoners” is a must-see, a drama worth many repeat viewings for the top-notch acting, chilling twists and fantastic explorations of characters under immense pressure.

Singer Elvis Crespo Investigated for Allegedly Masturbating on Plane
Associated Press
Published March 26, 2009 1:00am EDT | Updated January 8, 2015 2:57pm EST
Merengue star Elvis Crespo is being investigated after a woman said she saw him performing a sex act on an airplane en route from Houston to Miami, according to Miami-Dade County police.
The Grammy winner was masturbating in view of other passengers Thursday, prompting the plane's captain to radio the Miami International Airport's air traffic control tower, the police report said.
Officers interviewed Crespo upon his arrival but did not arrest him. No charges have been filed.
When asked by police at the airport about the accusation, the 37-year-old Puerto Rican singer said: "I don't recall doing that."
A message left by The Associated Press Wednesday for his publicist, Mayna Nevarez, was not immediately returned.
Because the incident took place over U.S. air space, the FBI is also investigating. Messages left for the FBI office in Miami also were not immediately returned.
According to the police report, 52-year-old Patricia Perea of Canyon Gate, Texas, told police she was sitting next to the singer of the hit song "Suavemente." She said that about 15 minutes after the plane left Houston, Crespo covered himself with a blanket and began to masturbate, then exposed himself.
On March 16, Crespo married his manager, Maribel Vega, in Puerto Rico.
He was scheduled to fly to New York on Thursday to participate in commitments related to the city's Puerto Rican Day parade, which is usually in June. | singer-elvis-crespo-investigated-for-allegedly-masturbating-on-plane_4ecbf67dfee54546aa6edbcf63d12155.png |

Jennifer Lopez's workout selfie with 'masked' man in background sent fans into frenzy — explanation revealed
By Julius Young Fox News
Published May 20, 2020 6:51pm EDT
Jennifer Lopez recently sent social media into a frenzy, as she often does whenever she shares a snap of herself during an intense workout -- but this particular photo really threw fans for a loop.
Lopez posted the sultry mirror selfie Friday, and eagle-eyed sleuths noticed something amiss in the background of her image, which showed the 50-year-old superstar highlighting her svelte physique and toned upper body.
In the background of Lopez’s photo appeared an unidentified "masked" man who left many social media users scratching their heads.
TIPS ON TALKING CORONAVIRUS WITH YOUR KIDS
"What's up with JLo's IG pic here? What's with the dude in the back? They keep deleting comments asking about him," one fan tweeted. Another fan asked: "Wtf is that... lol."
Other comments percolated about whether the mystery man was donning a face mask or if he simply had his hand placed over his mouth.
BEN AFFLECK SAYS EX JENNIFER LOPEZ SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED AN OSCAR NOMINATION FOR 'HUSTLERS'
"So are we not going to talk about the person behind her holding their mouth?" one person wrote while another echoed the sentiment in the comments section of the Bronx beauty’s post, adding: "What’s with the man with his mouth covered in the back bedroom??!!" according to People magazine.
Now, amid the Internet confusion, a source close to Lopez is dispelling any notion of anything being out of place, including the anonymous male who is right where he should be.
"Jen and Alex’s gym is attached to their office space," an insider told People on Wednesday. "When they have a Zoom meeting, they project it on to a big screen. You can see Alex’s arm in the photo (he’s wearing a blue shirt). The man in the photo was a business associate on Zoom (on the big screen) and his hand was covering his mouth. That is not a mask."
JENNIFER LOPEZ, ALEX RODRIGUEZ GIVE UP BID TO BUY NY METS, REPORT SAYS
Lopez has been hard at work motivating her fans to "challenge" themselves amid the coronavirus pandemic, and like many folks throughout the country, has been championing the nurses, doctors, and health care professionals on the front lines fighting the virus.
In the meantime, Lopez said that while the pandemic has stifled her wedding plans with her fiancé, baseball analyst and former MLB slugger Alex Rodriguez, she’s enjoying the time she is spending at home with their blended family.
"I have to say, I’ve been so on the run for the past few years that it’s nice to be home," she told Ellen DeGeneres last month. "I had planned to take a little bit of time off after the whole Super Bowl thing and 'World of Dance' that I just finished filming a few weeks ago, so it’s been nice so far."

Cristiano Ronaldo confirms breakup with Irina Shayk, linked to Real Madrid reporter

LISBON, Portugal – Real Madrid soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently picked up the Ballon d'Or after being voted the world's best player, confirmed Tuesday that he is single.
The Portuguese hottie, in a statement written to The Associated Press, confirmed that he has broken up with longtime girlfriend, Russian model Irina Shayk.
"After dating for five years, my relationship with Irina Shayk has come to an end," Ronaldo said. "We believed it would be best for both of us to take this step now… I wish Irina the greatest happiness."
The couple, both 29, has had huge international success and their relationship has been featured in newspapers and magazines worldwide. They were not believed to be living together, as Ronaldo was based in the Spanish capital while Shayk traveled extensively.
Rumors of a breakup began when Ronaldo showed up at the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Zurich without Shaydk. International press have reported that Shayk fell out with members of the soccer star’s family after reportedly refusing to attend a 60th birthday he was organizing for his mother Dolores.
Several reports have linked Ronaldo to Real Madrid TV reporter Lucia Villalon, especially after the pair were pictured celebrating the striker’s third Ballon d’Or win.
The duo has remained silent about the rumored romance.
Ronaldo retained football's highest individual honor after scoring 61 goals last year. His record tally of 17 in a Champions League season helped Madrid win an unprecedented 10th European Cup title.
Born in the Portuguese island of Madeira, Ronaldo played as a teenager for Sporting Lisbon before moving to Manchester United in 2003. He transferred to Real Madrid in 2009, building his reputation and his wealth through endorsements and sponsorships. He has millions of followers on social media.
Ronaldo has a 4-year-old son, called Cristiano Junior, but he has never disclosed the mother's identity.
Shayk won international fame as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, and a lingerie model. She made her acting debut last year opposite Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the film "Hercules."

Kate Middleton, Prince William videographer slams 'delusional' conspiracy theories

Published March 20, 2024 8:38pm EDT
The man who reportedly captured Kate Middleton's first public outing since her abdominal surgery is slamming "delusional" conspiracy theories surrounding the video.
Nelson Silva spoke to The Sun about Middleton's visit with Prince William to a Windsor Farm Shop on Saturday.
The outlet, and TMZ, released footage of the Princess and Prince of Wales leaving the farm shop, which has since gone viral, with many social media users sharing their opinions about the video.
"I’m not so much shocked that these comments have continued, I’m just confused how exactly they can continue," Nelson told the outlet. "This is a video clearly showing her and William. I saw them with my own eyes. It was a completely relaxed situation."

He added that anyone questioning if that was Kate in the video is "delusional."

"What more do you need to lay off her? I thought after this was released they’d go quiet. But these people are so invested in the drama now," he continued. "They’ve put so much time and energy into these rumors and lies that they can’t pull the plug."
The Sun reported that Silva is an engineer who lives with his wife and daughter in the area and was shopping for steak when he saw William and Kate. He said the couple appeared "relaxed and happy."

"I had about 40 minutes to kill and decided to get some produce. I went into the shop and at first I noticed their figures, they were standing near the bread," Silva explained.
Nelson ended up behind the royal couple when shopping and witnessed Kate and William talking to the farm shop staff.
Silva said, "I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but the staff seemed overwhelmed in a nice way. When I went to pay for my produce, the girl at the counter was so shocked she was hardly breathing."
He described the situation as having a "really nice atmosphere" during Kate and William's visit.

After Silva left the Windsor Farm Shop, he decided to take a video of Prince William and Kate to send to his family in Portugal, he told The Sun.
"I started to record as they walked towards the car park. They just looked very happy and relaxed together. William was obviously protective of Kate, and I quickly stopped recording because I didn’t want to make them uncomfortable," he explained.
Silva told the outlet that he only intended to share the video with his family, but realized the footage could end the rumors surrounding Middleton.

Middleton's every move since her hospitalization has created controversy, and this latest sighting is no exception. Social media users have gone wild with a #FakeKate hashtag, claiming the woman shown in the video from Saturday wasn't actually the Princess of Wales.
The princess was admitted to a hospital for a planned abdominal surgery on Jan. 17. On March 10, Middleton shared a photo on Instagram of herself alongside her and William's three kids for U.K. Mother's Day.
However, the photo was pulled from major photo agencies due to "manipulation" concerns.
Metadata from Middleton's Mother's Day photo revealed the image had been digitally altered multiple times before it was published on the official royal social media platforms, Fox News Digital previously confirmed.

Lori Loughlin's daughters 'very upset' with both of their parents behind bars: report
Olivia Jade and Isabella Giannulli were posed as crew members to get into USC
By Tyler McCarthy Fox News
Published November 23, 2020 2:14pm EST
Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli’s daughters are reportedly struggling with having both of their parents in prison at the same time for their role in the college admissions scandal last year.
Loughlin is currently serving a two-month sentence behind bars while Giannulli began his five-month stay last week. Meanwhile, the duo’s daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella, are reportedly finding it difficult to have to worry about both of their parents while they’re incarcerated.
"It's just a nightmare for them," a source tells People. "They were very upset when they said goodbye to Lori. But to have both of their parents now in prison at the same time is very upsetting."
The couple was handed their respective sentences this past August after pleading guilty to charges stemming from $500,000 payments to scam mastermind William “Rick” Singer to get their daughters recruited onto University of Southern California's crew team. The daughters had never participated in the sport.

“They are beyond worried," the source adds of Olivia and Isabella. "They can't wait to have their mom home in December, though. They try to focus on this."

The sentences put an end to more than a year of legal battles. Loughlin and Giannulli initially pleaded not guilty to expanded charges of bribery brought against them in October along with 11 other parents swept up in the scandal. In May, the duo shocked many when they changed course and agreed to plead guilty, as Huffman did in 2019.
In their plea agreement, Giannulli agreed to serve five months and pay a $250,000 fine along with two years of supervised release and 250 hours of community service. Meanwhile, Loughlin got a lighter sentence, with a judge ruling for her to spend two months in prison, pay a $150,000 fine and commit to 100 hours of community service.

Music floods New Orleans as Jazz festival kicks off 1st weekend run
Louisiana’s Jazz and Heritage Festival will feature popular musicians such as Lizzo and Wu-Tang Clan
Associated Press
Published April 28, 2023 1:24pm EDT
This year's New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival begins its two-weekend run on Friday, filling the air with the sounds of R&B, rock 'n roll, Zydeco, pop, blues, country, rap, gospel — and of course jazz.
Music fans will converge on the Fair Grounds Race Course when gates open at 11 a.m. and dash to find a spot in front of one of the 14 stages or tents featuring some of the best musicians in the world.
Friday's lineup includes performances by Lizzo; Robert Plant & Alison Krauss; Big Freedia; Tank and The Bangas; Wu-Tang Clan + The Soul Rebels; Nicholas Payton; Mavis Staples; Kermit Ruffins & the Barbecue Swingers; Charlie Musselwhite; and Terrance Simien and the Zydeco Experience.

"I'm super excited for the elevation this year," said Freedia, whose bounce/rap show is scheduled for the festival's main stage before Lizzo and Tank and The Bangas. "I love that I get the opportunity to showcase my artistry before a bigger audience and there's a lot more room to do my thing. We're here to entertain and we're gonna bust it open."
Freedia known for collaborations with Drake on "Nice for What" and Beyonce on "Break My Soul," said there are no plans to join Lizzo's closing performance even though the two paired up for Freedia's 2018 hit "Karaoke."
"I support her either way," she said.

Fans, however, will hear new music that Freedia plans to drop on Friday — "$100 Bill," a collaboration with R&B songstress Ciara.
This year's festival is also casting a spotlight on Puerto Rico with appearances Friday by two artists from the U.S. territory: Tambuye of Puerto Rico and Plena Libre of Puerto Rico, a Grammy-nominated Latin dance band.
"There's a whole vibe out there and people should come out and feel it. I'm thrilled with what's about to happen," festival producer Quint Davis said.
PAT BOONE REVEALS LIFE-CHANGING ENCOUNTER WITH HARRY BELAFONTE, THE INSPIRATION BEHIND 'CAN'T WE GET ALONG'
"We've got a lot of people coming in," he said. "Lizzo, a phenomenal talent on Friday, and Ed Sheeran and Jazmine Sullivan on Saturday and Jill Scott on Sunday. And that's just the first weekend. We've also got H.E.R. coming next week along with Dead & Company, Kane Brown and Jon Batiste. Everybody wants to play the festival and everything just fell together to allow that to happen."
The weather was expected to cooperate too, which Davis said has helped drive ticket sales. Forecasters expect low 80s with lots of sun for Friday's start. Spotty showers, however, may dampen Saturday and Sunday shows.
Kelly Schulz, a spokeswoman for New Orleans and Company, said hotel occupancy for the city's downtown corridor was above the 2022 numbers but not quite as good as those for 2019.

"We're at 83% occupancy for Saturday. In 2022, that was 78% and in 2019, pre COVID, it was 92%," she said.
Schulz said this was just a snapshot of how well the city's tourism industry is rebounding after COVID-19 forced a shutdown: "I think the numbers we're seeing for Jazz Fest is just another example of people ready to travel again and experience face-to-face connections again."
This year's festival is also going cashless for the first time in its 52-year run. For those who come just with cash, the festival will offer cash exchange booths where they can obtain a prepaid card. All major credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay will be accepted for tickets, food, merchandise and more. | music-floods-new-orleans-jazz-festival-kicks-1st-weekend-run_55597293d0f448df92f53b40352e6d9f.png |

Former ‘Glee’ star Naya Rivera's loved ones in ‘disbelief’ amid her disappearance: report
Rivera's 4-year-old son, Josey Dorsey, was found asleep on the drifting vessel
By Julius Young Fox News
Published July 9, 2020 9:30pm EDT
Naya Rivera’s family and friends are struggling to comprehend the events surrounding the former “Glee” star’s disappearance during a boating outing with her young son on Lake Piru in Calif., on Wednesday.
“Nobody has heard anything," a source close to the actress told People magazine on Thursday. "Everybody is in a wait-and-see pattern and trying to figure out exactly what happened.”
The outlet reported that the insider had just connected with Rivera mere weeks ago and relayed to the magazine that Rivera, 33, “seemed happy, busy” and was simply “just kind of living life.”

The actress was reported missing following a day trip to Lake Piru in Ventura County – just north of Los Angeles – where she and her 4-year-old son, Josey Dorsey, rented a pontoon boat and took to the water.
FORMER 'GLEE' ACTRESS NAYA RIVERA MISSING, PRESUMED DEAD AFTER DAY ON CALIFORNIA LAKE: REPORTS
Multiple reports indicate Rivera and Dorsey were swimming in the lake near the boat on Wednesday afternoon. While Dorsey was wearing a life vest when the drifting vessel was discovered, an adult life vest was found nearby in the boat’s cabin.
The boat had been overdue for a return from a three-hour rental period and was subsequently discovered by lake staff to be drifting in the north side of the lake with a sleeping Dorsey onboard.
Furthermore, the source relayed to People that Rivera would stop at nothing to ensure the best life for her son, whom she shares with ex-husband Ryan Dorsey.
"Back in the day, her life was all about her career. It was all about acting, singing, using her platform for equal rights, empowerment, anti-bullying – I think her priorities have shifted," the source explained. "Her working less isn’t because she doesn’t want to work, but she’s a mom. Her son comes first. That’s apparent in everything she’s posted and done. Everything is about her son.”
NAYA RIVERA MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE SINCE MARK SALLING'S DEATH
Since news broke of Rivera’s disappearance late Wednesday, dozens of her friends and former costars have taken to social media calling for prayers and her safe return.
Simply put, "Everybody is in disbelief," the source said.

The Ventura County police searched for the 33-year-old actress for hours late into the evening on Wednesday, and on Thursday, and recovery efforts are ongoing.

Michael Tammero Catches Up With The Crew of 'Honor Flight'
By In the FOXlight with Michael Tammero Fox News
Published May 24, 2013 12:09pm EDT | Updated March 6, 2017 3:36pm EST
Named after a program that sends WWII veterans to see the memorial erected in their honor, the new documentary "Honor Flight" follows four Midwestern heroes as they travel across the country to do just that.
It's an extremely moving look at how one town rallied to raise the funds to send them off, and In the FOXlight's Michael Tammero got a chance to chat with the director, along with one of the subjects of the film, about how it all went down.
"I went to my doctor, I had just gotten off of my second bypass surgery, and I said to him, 'I read in the paper where somebody was going to give me a free trip to Washington, D.C. Do you think I'd be able to go?'" recounts Joe Demler, a veteran of WWII who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Then, once Demler got the OK, he not only applied for the trip himself, but helped raise enough money to send three planes' worth of fellow veterans.
"It's just such a powerful story," added the film's director, Dan Hayes. "Anytime someone hears it, they want to get involved, whether it's volunteering, donating money — so this thing has really taken off all across the country."
"Honor Flight" comes out on DVD June 4, but it's also available on-demand with many local cable providers. To learn more, watch Michael Tammero's interview in the video above. | michael-tammero-catches-up-with-the-crew-of-honor-flight_6f1bb3876a2a4f3ea41c06f673fc73b9.png |

Rolling Stones unleash rock and roll on massive Cuban crowd

The Rolling Stones unleashed two hours of shrieking, thundering rock and roll on an ecstatic crowd of hundreds of thousands of Cubans and foreign visitors Friday night, capping one of the most momentous weeks in modern Cuban history with a massive celebration of music that was once forbidden here.
The week opened with the arrival of President Barack Obama in Air Force One, accompanied by more than 1,000 employees of a government that waged a cold war against Cuba for more than 50 years. This time, U.S. forces were armed with briefing books and press invitations, here to seal the president's 2014 opening to Cuba with a string of expertly crafted public events that saw Obama call for democracy live on state television, then attend a Major League Baseball exhibition game with Cuban President Raul Castro.

The week ended with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Charlie Watts firing "Jumpin' Jack Flash" ''Sympathy for the Devil" and "Satisfaction" into a jubilant crowd from 3-story-tall high-definition television screens and thumping towers of speakers.
From Sunday evening to late Friday night, it felt as if the full force of the 21st century had landed with bone-rattling impact on an island that still feels mostly cut off from the modern world.
"Havana, Cuba, and the Rolling Stones!" Jagger cried. "This is amazing! It's really good to be here! It's good to see you guys!"
The Stones romped through 18 of their classics, picking up force as the crowd in the open-air Ciudad Deportiva, or Sports City, jumped and chanted "Rollings! Rollings!"
The Rolling Stones were the biggest mainstream rock act to play in Cuba since its 1959 revolution brought a communist government to power and isolated the island from the United States and its allies. At its heyday, Cuba's communist government frowned on U.S. and British bands. Fans had to hide their Beatles and Stones albums in covers borrowed from albums of appropriately revolutionary Cuban groups.
But times have changed. Former supermodel Naomi Campbell, actor Richard Gere and singer Jimmy Buffet partied in the VIP section of the concert. Castro's son Alejandro, one of the driving forces behind Cuba's declaration of detente with the United States, greeted friends and relatives after the show.
Far from the Cuban and international elites, ordinary Cubans said they felt shot through with energy, reconnected with the world.
"After today I can die," said 62-year-old night watchman Joaquin Ortiz. "This is like my last wish, seeing the Rolling Stones."
Rivers of spectators flowed north and south from the concert site after the show, watched over by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of security officials.
Few were willing to comment on the connections between the concert and Obama's visit earlier in the week, but many said the concert had implications beyond simple entertainment.
"The Rolling Stones being in Cuba at this time is like several steps up the ladder," said Jennifer Corchado, a 23-year-old biologist. "It's like three steps up the staircase toward global culture, toward the rest of the world."
Among the spectators was a large contingent of foreign tourists, for whom seeing Cuba was as novel as seeing the Rolling Stones is for Cubans.
Ken Smith, a 59-year-old retired sailor, and Paul Herold, a 65-year-old retired plumber, sailed to Havana from Key West, Florida on Herold's yacht.
"This has been one of my life-long dreams, to come to Cuba on my sailboat," Herold said.
Some Cuban concert-goers said it made them more optimistic about the future of their country.
"This is history," said Raul Podio, a 22-year-old employee of a state security firm, who was joined by a group of young friends. "I would like to see more groups, for there to be more variety, for more artists to come, because that would mean we are less isolated."
The band's Cuba stop ended its "Ole" Latin America tour, which also included concerts in Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Argentina and Mexico. | rolling-stones-unleash-rock-and-roll-on-massive-cuban-crowd_8a2637ae3f1a444389d2d638ff2ac4a3.png |

'Girl With No Job' stars canned after stories about controversial mother Pamela Geller, past tweets surface
By Sasha Savitsky , Fox News
Published March 1, 2018 6:30pm EST | Updated March 1, 2018 7:44pm EST
The millennial masterminds behind the online Oath talk show "The Morning Breath" and Instagram sensation "Girl With No Job" have been fired, and some are speculating it's because their mother is a conservative pundit, while others are citing the sisters' past anti-Obama tweets that have recently resurfaced.
An item in the liberal Daily Beast on Wednesday claimed sisters Claudia, Jackie, Olivia and Margo Oshry went to "great lengths" to hide from their combined 3.3 million Instagram followers the fact that their mother is right-wing provocateur and Trump supporter Pamela Geller.
"The Instagram-famous family have gone to great lengths to conceal the identity of their Islamophobic mother," the publication writes. "[Their mother is an] anti-Islam activist, hate-monger, and diehard Trump supporter."
The article also unearthed some tweets from 2015 in which Claudia tweeted, "Listening to Obama talk about ISIS is like listening to me talk about quantum physics," and sister Jackie wrote, "Hi @POTUS, Can you reimburse me for all the cabs I’m taking bc your piece of s--- plan to defeat ISIS makes me scared to take the subway? [Thank you]."

An Oath rep issued the following statement to Fox News: "'The Morning Breath,' an Oath social media show, is being canceled immediately and we have launched an internal investigation and will take other appropriate steps based on the results of the investigation." Oath did not return Fox News' follow up requests for comment regarding what the investigation is about.
CAA told Fox News Claudia is no longer a client but declined to comment further.
A rep for the Oshrys did not return Fox News' request for comment. Claudia and Jackie have since deleted their Twitter accounts.
While Oath has pulled the show, it looks like the majority of their fans have expressed support for the social media stars.
"You can’t help who your parents are or what they believe," one fan wrote on Instagram.

Another said, "We love you, Claud! People make mistakes and we learn and grow from them. Keep your head up, your breathers are with you!"

Geller is a controversial personality, even on the right, who is known for her strong political views. She is the president of Stop Islamization of America and is best known as the organizer of the "Draw the Prophet Muhammad" contest in Garland, Texas, where two gunmen were killed after attempting an attack on the event. She was banned from England in 2013 because she would "not be conducive to the public good."
Claudia Oshry, 23, issued the following statement on Wednesday, "We want to be clear to our audience and fans that our political and cultural beliefs are not anti-Muslim or anti-anyone. Our views are separate from our mother's. Being raised by a single parent, we were taught to make our own choices based on our personal beliefs. We are inspired to think for ourselves and we do. We do not condone discrimination or racist beliefs of any kind."
The Instagram star also took to the social media app to apologize to her fans after past tweets of hers resurfaced following the news.
Claudia tweeted in 2012, "Today my co-counselor told me she thinks Obama is muslim" and in 2014 she wrote, "I can't help but feel like I'm funding terrorism when I take a cab."
"I just need to apologize," a teary Claudia said in an Instagram video. "Some news was broke this morning about who my mom is and then some really disgusting, vile, stupid tweets of mine resurfaced. I need to just come right out and say how sorry I am. It's not cool, it's not funny. I was a dumb kid. I was 16 [and] I thought I was being funny and cool on Twitter and it's not. I'm not racist. I can't believe I even have to say that."
She also asked her fans to give her "the opportunity to show you who I am and what I stand for."
Jackie shared on Instagram Thursday, "I want to express my utmost, sincere apologies for the indefensible comments that I've said in the past. That is not a reflection of who I am as a person today and I am truly sorry to everyone I've offended and let down. All I can do now is reflect and learn from this experience by showing everyone the good that is in my heart."
Claudia created Girl With No Job after she was fired from her first internship when she attended New York University. She and her sister Jackie co-host an online morning show hosted on Oath called "The Morning Breath."
Big sister Olivia is the producer of the show while little sister Margo appears as a frequent guest on their spin-off "Afterdale" while she's still in college.
"The Morning Breath" has featured guests including "Real Housewives'" star Teresa Giudice, country star Hunter Hayes and most recently Barbara Corcoran of "Shark Tank." | girl-with-no-job-stars-canned-after-stories-about-controversial-mother-pamela-geller-past-tweets-surface_90cdf0389f7b47d19991022a705c44fc.png |

‘Smallville’ actor Callum Blue opens up about joining NXIVM on ‘True Hollywood Story’
By Julius Young Fox News
Published September 25, 2019 5:44pm EDT
Callum Blue was one of a number of actors to explore the world of NXIVM when the controversial self-help group came calling.
The “Smallville” alum explained that his decision to attend his first meeting, which was sold to potential members as an “Executive Success Program,” came from his own personal grief.
"At the height of my popularity, I went through some trauma," Blue said in an interview for the return of “E! True Hollywood Story.” "My father took his own life. And I continued working and I was caught up in this spiral of chaos. 'Cause Hollywood can be a chaotic and noisy place."

Blue, 42, said he began searching for guidance on dealing with his father’s death. In doing so, he found several NXIVM workshops designed to help its attendees unlock their own personal potential.
ALLISON MACK ALLEGEDLY WANTED NXIVM SEX CULT 'SLAVE MASTERS' TO BE 'SISTER WIVES'
I was "looking to the outside world to find the answers,” Blue says in the episode trailer.
A movie based on the twisted upstate sex cult, in which women were said to be starved and branded like cattle, premiered on Saturday on Lifetime.
Known to his followers as “Vanguard,” Raniere was accused of masterminding and overseeing a system in which women were told the best way to advance was to become a "slave" overseen by "masters."
The made-for-TV flick, “NXIVM Cult: A Mother’s Nightmare,” centers on the true story of former “Dynasty” star Catherine Oxenberg, whose daughter, India, fell in with leader Keith Raniere.

The movie’s release came less than three months after Raniere was found guilty of federal crimes including sex trafficking conspiracy and conspiracy to commit forced labor.
During the trial, a former “slave” testified that India was starved and forced to spend a year on a 500-calorie-a-day diet.

One former NXIVM member, identified only as “Nicole,” said under oath that “Smallville” actress and alleged slave master Allison Mack was so manipulative, she’d threaten to further starve India.
An ex-“slave,” Jay, also testified that India later went on to have a slave herself.

Mack pleaded guilty to racketeering charges. Her sentencing is scheduled for September.
