As former British comedian and convicted rapist Russell Brand begins his 10.5-year jail sentence following yesterday's sentencing, his ex-wife Katy Perry's past comments about their troubled relationship have resurfaced.

Pop star Perry, who was married to Brand for just 14 months from 2010 to 2011, claimed that her ex-husband was not a fan of her being the boss whilst she was on tour, eventually calling him "very controlling" in a 2013 interview with Vogue.

Katy Perry has spoken somewhat openly about her controlling marriage

While the California Girls singer has spoken previously about the brutal way Brand ended the marriage, reportedly via text on New Year's Eve, she also admitted she blamed herself for their divorce at first.

However, she later discovered "the real truth" about their breakup, but has never revealed what it is, claiming she is keeping it secret for a rainy day, which could come sooner than expected given the thunderstorm surrounding Brand this week.

In the Vogue interview, Perry recalled Brand making jokes about her during one of his stand-up shows, not realising she was in the audience.

Earlier this year, the star, who is now in a relationship with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, hit out at Brand during a concert in the UK.

During her performance, a fan asked her to act out her reaction to seeing her ex, and the singer joked, "I hope my ex isn't here. He should be in jail!"

A disturbing video of how Brand treated Perry has resurfaced online

Also earlier this week, a shocking clip resurfaced online, showing Brand holding an alarming message on a piece of paper during a red carpet interview with his then-fiancée.

When an interviewer asked them how the award ceremony was, Brand was starting to answer when Perry called him out for not watching the show.

He then quipped, telling a fake anecdote about the ceremony that didn't take place, and the reporter told the 'Teenage Dream' songstress: "You just put him in it right now."

Brand then said he did watch the award show while Perry told the reporter: "I call him on his bull****."

The disgraced comedian then scolded Perry, telling her not to swear.

At that moment, Brand took a small piece of paper that had the word "Obey" on it.

Perry glanced at the paper and stopped speaking, while Brand answered the question himself, saying he was "happy for everyone."

She then laughed and proceeded to hold his hand.

The reporter then asked the pop star, "How do you deal with this guy?"

The former Hollywood star was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. Despite pleading not guilty to all charges, which span 10 years from 1999, Brand was found guilty on four counts and has now been sentenced to 10.5 years in prison.

They included raping a woman at his house in London and sexually assaulting three different women at their workplaces at a radio station and a TV studio.

Here's everything we know as David Walliams is revealed as the "well-known" celebrity accused of "inappropriate sexual activities with multiple women".

The actor and comedian has been accused of grooming teenage girls and behaving inappropriately toward young women in a major three-year investigation by ITV News and The Guardian.

The publications examined the 55-year-old's conduct as he rose to fame through Little Britain, Britain's Got Talent, and his bestselling children's books.

Several women have accused Walliams of inappropriate sexual behavior, including alleged encounters involving girls as young as 15.

Walliams has strongly denied all allegations made against him, saying: "I am not a sexual predator... I have not broken the law."

Here's a timeline of the allegations and key developments in his career.

Many of the women and men who spoke out asked ITV News to protect their identities. Their pseudonyms are marked with an asterisk.

2003–2006: Early fame and allegations of grooming

Walliams became a household name in 2003 when Little Britain, his comedy sketch series with co-star Matt Lucas, debuted on the BBC.

That same year, Walliams, then 31, contacted 18-year-old model Lilly Creightmore, who later accused him of targeting her at a vulnerable point in her life.

Creightmore told ITV News that she believed Walliams "groomed" her over several years for "sexual gratification".

Walliams denied targeting her because of her age or vulnerability, maintaining that he believed they shared a special friendship.

In 2004, Walliams met Alex*, a 15-year-old aspiring comedy writer at a Little Britain fan event.

Alex claimed the comedian offered career advice and maintained contact through emails and phone calls.

By late 2005, when she was 17, Alex alleged their conversations became sexual and that Walliams asked her to send intimate photographs.

She said they first had sex in 2006, when she was still 17, and had two further sexual encounters.

She said the sex felt "very pushy" and made her feel "like a prostitute, essentially. I was there for that reason, and then I was out."

Alex later told the outlet she believed she had been "groomed 100%" by the comedian.

"He was a figure of authority to me, someone I looked to for guidance and help, and he used that power and abused that power the minute he felt he just about could and was just about safe to," she said.

Walliams denies grooming Alex, insisting he believed she was 18 during their sexual encounters.

He described their relationship as consensual and said he was "mortified to learn that their brief, consensual relationship has caused her sadness".

During this period, Walliams continued to enjoy professional success, winning major comedy awards and raising £1 million for Sport Relief by swimming the English Channel in 2006.

He was also invited to Buckingham Palace, where he was commended by Queen Elizabeth II for the swim.

2007: 15-year-old girl alleges sexual assault after MySpace contact

In 2007, a 15-year-old girl identified as Jade* claimed Walliams contacted her through MySpace after she commented on one of his photographs.

She alleged they exchanged messages for several weeks before meeting at a London café and going to his home.

Jade accused Walliams of touching her sexually without consent, describing the alleged encounter as "a grooming" and "a sexual assault."

"He lifted my top up and sucked on my breast and then tried to put my hand down his trousers," Jade tells ITV News. "That’s when I pulled away and said 'no.' He had an erection at the time."

"I wasn’t ready for sex... I didn’t want to be touched in that way at all. I was only a 15-year-old," she added.

Walliams denied having any sexual contact with Jade and rejected allegations of criminal activity or grooming.

That same year, another model, 19-year-old Ella*, alleged Walliams made an unwanted advance toward her after inviting her to a party at his home.

Walliams acknowledged making a "clumsy pass" but said he made no further advances and had not intended to make her uncomfortable.

2008–2012: Children's books and Britain's Got Talent success

Walliams expanded his career beyond television in 2008 with the publication of his first children's book, The Boy in the Dress, through HarperCollins.

He went on to become one of Britain's most successful children's authors, selling tens of millions of books worldwide.

In 2012, he joined Britain's Got Talent as a judge, significantly increasing his public profile.

He remained on the show for 10 series and won multiple National Television Awards for Best TV Judge.

2015–2016: Teenage fans invited backstage and concerns at HarperCollins

In 2015, Walliams, then 43, allegedly contacted 17-year-old Abby Tomlinson on Twitter (now X) and invited her to a recording of Britain's Got Talent.

Abby claimed she arrived with a 13-year-old girl and was taken to the comedian's dressing room, where two other teenage girls were present.

She claimed the girls were left alone with Walliams behind a closed door.

His lawyers disputed this, saying the door remained open and that the girls were never alone with him.

Around the same period, employees at HarperCollins reportedly began raising concerns about Walliams' interactions with young female staff.

One employee, named Katie*, alleged that female colleagues were discouraged from visiting his home alone.

"We would never send any of the girls on their own to his [Walliams'] flat," she said.

Another employee, Helen*, described an arrangement requiring female staff to visit his home in pairs.

Walliams denied sexually harassing anyone at HarperCollins or behaving inappropriately in the workplace.

In 2016, an 18-year-old woman identified as Sarah* alleged Walliams tried to kiss her during an overnight visit to his home and later attempted to lead her toward his bedroom.

Walliams denied forcing himself on Sarah or having sexual contact with her.

Months later, Sarah's friend received a legal warning from his lawyers. Walliams said he believed she was planning to sell a false story to newspapers.

2017: Britain's Got Talent staff speak out

In 2017, two former Britain's Got Talent workers raised concerns about Walliams' behavior.

A staff member identified as Mark* recalled entering Walliams' dressing room and finding him wearing only a towel while two "very young people" were present.

Despite feeling uneasy on several occasions, Mark didn’t report his concerns. He also claimed a senior colleague referred to a £300 payment he received from Walliams as "hush money."

Walliams denies he was "buying" Mark’s silence and that there was nothing that needed "covering up."

Another employee, Amy, accused Walliams of making derogatory comments about her body on set.

She said he referred to her as "the one with the arse" rather than by her name. She also says that in one incident, he was staring at her chest.

"It made me feel small and almost disembodied. Like I was not a person, but just a body," she told ITV News. "And there's just a vibe you get when someone is being predatory."

Walliams denied making the alleged remarks or behaving in a "predatory" manner.

That year, he also began a sexual relationship with a HarperCollins intern who had visited his home for work.

Sources told investigators the woman later described the relationship, which she acknowledged was consensual, as an "abuse of power."

Meanwhile, Walliams says he had "an entirely consensual sexual relationship" with her and denied that he sexually harassed anyone at HarperCollins or behaved inappropriately in the workplace.

He was also awarded an OBE in 2017 for services to charity and the arts.

2022–2024: Britain's Got Talent departure and publisher investigation

Walliams left Britain’s Got Talent in November 2022 after recordings emerged of him making derogatory and sexually explicit comments about contestants.

He apologized, explaining that the comments had been made during private conversations.

In 2023, he took BGT’s production company, Fremantle UK, to the High Court for misuse of private information and breach of data laws. The company subsequently apologized and reached a financial settlement.

Meanwhile, HarperCollins launched an internal investigation into Walliams' conduct in 2023.

According to ITV News, at least five female members of staff spoke to the inquiry, which concluded in 2024.

One woman reportedly left the company with a five-figure payout and a strict separation agreement.

2025: HarperCollins drops Walliams after 20 years

In June 2025, Walliams reportedly made Nazi salutes and a sexual hand gesture during a recording of the BBC panel show Would I Lie to You? The BBC called the incident "unacceptable."

Later that year, HarperCollins announced it would no longer publish new books by Walliams following reports of inappropriate behavior toward young women at the company.

The decision ended a publishing relationship spanning approximately two decades.

By then, more than 26 million copies of his books had been sold in the UK, generating around £156 million in sales.

Walliams denied behaving inappropriately and said he was seeking legal advice.

2026: Walliams loses legal bid to block investigation

In September 2026, HarperCollins decided to stop publishing Walliams' backlist and began phasing out existing copies, including digital and audiobook editions.

The following month, Walliams sought a High Court injunction to prevent ITV News and The Guardian from publishing their investigation.

Following a two-day hearing, his attempt to block publication was unsuccessful.

In November, Alton Towers announced the immediate closure of its World of David Walliams attraction.

The joint investigation was later published, detailing horrific allegations from multiple women and former employees.

The unsuccessful injunction application did not determine whether the allegations were true.

In response to this investigation, Walliams said: "Looking back, I realise that at times I behaved thoughtlessly towards other people I had casual sexual relationships with... I realise I did not always take people’s feelings properly into account. That is something I regret.

"And whilst a power imbalance is inevitable when one party is famous, abusing that power is something else entirely, and it is something that I never did...

“I am not a sexual predator... I have not broken the law... I am devastated that some of the women I met ten to twenty years ago have now expressed hurt or anger towards me," he added.

A shocking video has resurfaced online, showing Russell Brand holding an alarming message on a piece of paper during a red carpet interview with then-fiancée Katy Perry.

Last week, the 51-year-old was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault offences against four women between 2004 and 2009, and is facing a lengthy prison sentence.

Following a four-week trial, he was found not guilty on two other counts of rape and one of attempted indecent assault, as a judge told the former radio presenter to expect a "significant custodial term".

Since the conviction, old videos featuring Brand have circulated online, including footage of his relationship with Perry, now 42, whom he married in October 2010.

Russell Brand holds up 'obey' sign during interview with Katy Perry

The former couple became romantically involved after filming a cameo for 2010’s Get Him to the Greek, but their relationship was short-lived.

In March of that year, the couple appeared together at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where they were interviewed by a reporter from GMTV.

The interviewer asked them how the award ceremony was, and Brand was starting to answer when Perry called him out for not watching the show.

He then quipped, telling a fake anecdote about the ceremony that didn't take place, and the reporter told the 'Teenage Dream' songstress: "You just put him in it right now."

Brand then said he did watch the award show while Perry told the reporter: "I call him on his bull****."

The Forgetting Sarah Marshall star then scolded Perry, telling her not to swear. The reporter interjected that it's morning television and then changed the subject by asking the 'Fireworks' singer who she was happy to see win.

At that moment, Brand took a small piece of paper that had the word "Obey" on it.

A magnified image of the paper, although blurry, appears to resemble the iconic Obey design associated with street artist Shepard Fairey.

Perry glanced at the paper and stopped speaking, while Brand answered the question himself, saying he was "happy for everyone."

She then laughed and proceeded to hold his hand. The reporter then asked the pop star, "How do you deal with this guy?"

"Um..." she said as she watched her ex-partner, who appeared to move away from the carpet. "No - He's actually hilarious," she continued, adding something about Brand making her "speechless" and how usually she's the "bubbly one," so it makes her surprised at how funny he is.

The reporter told Perry to have a lovely night and noted that she is being pulled away "back, left, and centered."

The old footage has prompted criticism from some online users, with several questioning Brand's interactions with Perry during the interview.

"What a bizarre interaction. She’s monitoring his reaction constantly, her eyes keep checking his face for signs that he’s not upset," one user said.

Another chimed in: "He's so disgusting," while a third added: "The reporter also didn’t acknowledge Brand when he first walked up & he didn’t like it. He an absolute sociopath, narcissistic abuser."

A fourth praised the interviewer, saying: "I’m grateful the interviewer tried to pull Katy aside to make sure she was okay and also let her know that his behaviour wasn’t charming or okay. kudos to her!"

Katy Perry revealed Russell Brand ended their marriage by text

The former couple got married in October 2010, separated in December 2011, and finalized their divorce in July 2012.

"Sadly, Katy and I are ending our marriage. I'll always adore her, and I know we'll remain friends," Brand announced in a statement at the time, per PEOPLE.

The 'Dark Horse' musician later revealed that Brand had informed her he wanted a divorce through a text message.

The emotional aftermath was documented in her 2012 concert film, Katy Perry: Part of Me, which captured the singer struggling behind the scenes before taking the stage during her tour.

Perry has never revealed what the text said, but she told Vogue in 2013: "He's a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him. Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011."

In that same interview, she discussed her brief romance with Brand, saying the comic was "controlling" and "really hurtful," as cited by The Mirror.

"At first, when I met him, he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal, and they're like, I can't handle the equalness. He didn't like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour," she shared at the time.

"So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting. I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can't necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day. I let go, and I was like: This isn't because of me; this is beyond me. So I have moved on from that," Perry added.

Perry also told Marie Claire that during their short-lived marriage, Brand pressured her to start a family, even though she didn’t feel ready.

"[Russell] really wanted me to have children, and I knew I wasn't ready - I think it was a way of control. I think it was part of, If I have a kid, then I would have to sacrifice - I'd have to be home more," she said. "I really wanted to, but I knew I wasn't ready for it. It wasn't like, 'Hey, let's have a kid because we're in love.'"

Dannii Minogue's unsettling comments about Russell Brand have resurfaced after the comedian received a jail sentence.

Last week, the 51-year-old was found guilty of rape and three counts of sexual assault for offences committed between 2004 and 2009 following a four-week trial at Southwark Crown Court in London.

On Monday (November 9), he was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison, with Justice Bennathan condemning Brand's treatment of women.

"You were clever and, in many people's eyes, funny and charismatic. You had also become a sexual predator," he said, adding that Brand had "a casual and arrogant disregard for a woman's right to say no to you."

"Fame meant you thought you could act how you like, when you like," he told the comedian.

Dannii Minogue's warning about Russell Brand resurfaces after 20 years

In the wake of Brand's sentencing, comments the Australian pop star made in 2006 have circulated online.

The 55-year-old made the remarks in an interview with The Mirror at the Michele Watches Summer Party, where she recalled an uncomfortable encounter with Brand while appearing on his short-lived MTV programme 1 Leicester Square.

"He is completely crazy and a bit of a vile predator. I certainly don't think he has cured his sex addiction, that's for sure," she said at the time, as cited by the Daily Mail.

"He wouldn't take no for an answer."

"He always goes that step too far. Never quite far enough to slap his face, but usually too far," she continued.

The former X Factor judge claimed the comedian repeatedly made inappropriate comments during their encounter.

"He kept making shocking remarks that I can't even repeat," she said.

"Just uttering the words would make me blush."

According to her, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor complimented her "fabulous breasts" before following her down a corridor and repeatedly asking for her phone number.

"He's just not my type," she added.

Although Minogue acknowledged Brand was "obviously very intelligent," she also criticized his flamboyant appearance.

"He wears more makeup than I do," she said. "Normally, I love guys with eyeliner on. It can be very sexy, but not on Russell. Absolutely no way, never."

Brand's wife reportedly shares emotional exchange after sentencing

As Brand was sentenced to more than a decade behind bars, his wife, Laura, was reportedly seen struggling to contain her emotions in the courtroom.

According to Sky News, the 39-year-old was "shaking a little" and breathing deeply while sitting behind two female friends as he was told his fate.

Moments after Justice Bennathan delivered the lengthy sentence, Laura was reportedly spotted mouthing, "I love you, I'll be OK" to her disgraced husband.

When Brand was taken away by guards, he reportedly nodded at Laura and said, "We’ll be OK."

Brand's father, Ron Brand, also appeared shaken by the length of the sentence, which could see his son spend at least seven years behind bars.

When asked how his son would cope in prison, Ron said, "Yeah, he's strong, he's strong."

Asked how his daughter-in-law would cope without her husband, he responded: "She's strong as well."

Ron also sparked controversy with his response when a reporter asked whether he had a message for his son's victims.

"The victims, what victims? What, Russell?" he said.

After the reporter said she meant "his victims," he continued: "The girls you mean, who chased and harassed him."

He also said he "didn't care" that his son had been convicted and slammed "the system".

Brand's sentencing comes just over three years after allegations against him first became public.

The Metropolitan Police have also confirmed that investigations remain ongoing into two further allegations of rape involving Brand.

When you think of Hollywood’s richest stars, names like Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Margot Robbie, or Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson probably come to mind.

But what if we told you that the the wealthiest actor in the world isn’t someone you regularly see on red carpets or starring in blockbuster films.

In fact, there's even a chance you've never heard of them until now.

Her name? Jami Gertz. And her estimated net worth? Well, that sits at a jaw-dropping $3 billion, according to NME. Yes, billion.

Back in the 1980s, Gertz starred in a string of cult classics like The Lost Boys or Sixteen Candles, as well as having guest appearances on hit shows like Seinfeld, Modern Family, and This Is Us.

While her acting career may have earned her a decent living, her enormous fortune isn’t solely the result of Hollywood paychecks.

So it's no wonder that some people were confused when Gertz began trending recently. One viral post featuring a photo of the actor prompted confused reactions, with one person admitting: “I’m off to Google first cos this is giving I don’t know who this person is.”

Another asked the question on everyone’s minds: “How come I hardly see Jami Gertz in movies? Did she make it from acting, or does she have other incomes?”

Turns out, she definitely has other incomes.

Gertz has been married to billionaire businessman Tony Ressler since 1989, and together they’ve built an investment empire.

Ressler, who Forbes estimates to be worth $11.5 billion, co-founded major firms like Ares Management, and the couple also own a controlling stake in the NBA team Atlanta Hawks, as well as a minority share in the Milwaukee Beavers.

Between savvy business decisions and investments in sports, the pair have quietly become one of the wealthiest power couples in America – without the constant media glare.

And while they’ve stepped back from the limelight in recent years (Gertz’s last big screen appearance was in 2022’s I Want You Back), their influence is far from fading.

The couple are dedicated philanthropists, with their Ressler-Gertz Foundation supporting initiatives in education, health, arts, and Jewish causes. Back in 2012, the Giving Back Fund even named them the most generous celebrity donors, following a $10 million donation.

The couple made a rare public outing in April 2026, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s opening gala for its new David Geffen Galleries.

The pair were celebrating the south wing of the newly-opened galleries being named the Ressler Family Wing after they gave a $50 million donation to the museum, per the New York Times.

Gertz has also shut down the misconception that her wealth is simply from marrying rich, explaining: "Everyone thinks I married a rich guy. But I made more money - way more money - than Tony when I met him.

"I paid for our first house. I paid for our first vacation. I married him because I fell in love with him."

The couple have four children together and split their time between Los Angeles and Atlanta.

Gertz previously revealed why she's stepped back from Hollywood in recent years, while still occasionally dipping her toe into certain acting projects.

She told the Hollywood Reporter: "It’s hard to even say it out loud because I love what I do. It’s given me so many beautiful things in my life, taught me so many things about myself and the world around me."

Alanis Morissette has revealed she identifies as pansexual after being "hurt" by past relationships with men.

The 'Ironic' singer came out during an appearance on the November 3 episode of the Handsome podcast withTig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin.

Towards the end of the segment, Feimster told Morissette: "I’m sorry for the men that hurt you, but I’m not sorry for the songs that came from it."

Feimster then added: "Did it make you want to be a lesbian at any point?"

The 52-year-old star then revealed: "I’m pansexual, so, yeah."

Notaro then asked: "Wait, you’re not really pansexual, are you?", to which she confirmed: "I am."

The hosts then joked that she should have started the podcast with that revelation, as she joked: "I like to leave it for the epilogue."

Pansexuality is defined as a romantic, emotional, and/or sexual attraction to people regardless of their gender, per WebMD.

Morissette also recently addressed the "amazing" moment she kissed Sarah Jessica Parker in 2000, revealing on the Call Her Daddy podcast that she was the one who came up with the idea for the same-sex kiss.

She revealed: "I reached out to them and I said, ‘Might it be a nice time for Carrie to experience a lesbian moment?’ And they said, ‘Why, yes. We were thinking the same thing.’"

Morissette added: "I do recall kissing her — it was very pleasant."

The singer-songwriter has been married to her husband, Mario “Souleye” Treadway since 2010 and they share three children - Ever, 15, Onyx, 10, and Winter, seven.

She also previously dated actor Ryan Reynolds from 2002, before getting engaged in 2004, but finally splitting up in early 2007.

Her seventh album, Flavors of Entanglement, was inspired by her split from Reynolds, while her relationship with Full House comedian Dave Coulier from 1992 to 1994 is also believed to have inspired the album Jagged Little Pill.

Morissette also previously opened up about living with a love and sex addiction, telling the Sunday Times Style magazine: "I tried myriad ways to regulate [my emotions], whether that was partying or working.

"I was a huge work addict, still in recovery. A lot of love addiction, which also had some sex addiction. And I see this with empaths.

"We aren’t given a handbook about how to be responsible for this temperament. All I know is that I made absolutely no sense to most people for a very long time and it was lonely and painful but I persevered."

Russell Brand's ex-wife Katy Perry could publicly reveal more about their relationship in the near future, according to an insider.

On Thursday (November 5), Brand appeared at London's Southwark Crown Court after two days of deliberations, as a jury delivered a verdict.

The British comedian and actor was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault offenses against four women between 2004 and 2009, and is facing a lengthy prison sentence.

He was found not guilty on two other counts of rape and one of attempted indecent assault.

A judge told the Get Him to the Greek star to expect a 'significant custodial term' for his crimes, as he is currently being held behind bars.

Several reports have revealed that the 51-year-old has had a tumultuous start to his time in prison.

Now, it has emerged that Perry may have been biding her time in revealing her side of the story when it comes to their past relationship.

Katy Perry is preparing to 'tell all'

While Brand is expected to be handed his prison sentence on Monday, reports suggest that Perry has been waiting for the conclusion of the trial to lift the lid.

Apparently, the 'Roar' singer will be releasing a book and documentary series about her life.

A source close to Perry, 42, told the Mail on Sunday that she would only finalize agreements after Brand's trial was finished.

She is reportedly in 'active discussions' to share her account of their marriage, as a source claimed: "Katy has received multiple offers over the years to tell her story but would not consider anything until after the trial. She has a lot to say.

"At the moment she's considering a Netflix-type series and an autobiography. She and her team have been in active discussions.

"There is a lot about that marriage which people don't know. It was a very dark period in her life," they concluded.

The Daily Star reports that her representatives have been in touch with streaming platforms such as Netflix and Hulu over a possible deal.

Speaking in July, Perry mentioned Brand during the opening night of the popstar's Out of Office UK tour.

While on the microphone, she told the crowd of roughly 10,000: "I hope my ex isn't here; he should be in jail."

2010 interaction goes viral

An interview featuring Perry and Brand from the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party has gone viral following his conviction.

In the clip, the pair can be seen walking down the red carpet and stopping for an interview with British morning show GMTV for their thoughts on the Academy Awards.

Brand starts to answer before Perry jokingly interrupts, saying: "You didn’t watch it!"

He then hit back with a joke before the interviewer said to Perry: "You just put him in it right now," to which Brand replies: "I did watch the Oscars."

Perry then adds: "I call him on his bulls**t," before Brand quickly interjects: "Don't swear," as the interview was going out on television in the UK.

As the reporter continues asking questions, Brand is seen bringing out a small rectangular object that says the word "obey" on it, and holding it up in front of Perry.

She then appears to go quiet as Brand shares his thoughts on the winners, before the reporter asks: "Katy, how do you deal with this guy?"

The singer stutters for a moment before responding: "No, he’s actually hilarious," to which the reporter quips: "I’m glad you find him funny," as Brand walks her down the carpet.

Since British former comedian Russell Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault, an old tweet from tech mogul Elon Musk has resurfaced, sparking people to question the pair's relationship.

The former Hollywood star is not set to be sentenced until Monday, but was told by a judge that he should expect a lengthy prison sentence.

Despite pleading not guilty to all charges, which span a 10-year period from 1999, Brand was found guilty on four counts.

They included raping a woman at his house in London and sexually assaulting three different women at their workplaces at a radio station and a TV studio.

Elon Musk claimed he supported Brand when the allegations first came to light

SpaceX founder Musk has once again come under scrutiny, this time for supporting Brand on social media.

In 2023, shortly after the allegations against the comedian were exposed through a joint investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4's Dispatches, Musk penned: "I support Russell Brand. That man is not evil."

Given yesterday's guilty verdict, the statement has certainly not aged well, and has reignited criticism of the Tesla founder.

Brand, 51, has been portrayed as a calculated manipulator and sexual predator during his trial, and has been given a custodial order until he is sentenced.

The judge also told him he should expect a lengthy prison sentence.

Speaking on the last day of the trial, Justice Bennathan said: "You’ve been convicted of a number of offences, including one of rape.

"The consequence of that is inevitably a significant custodial term.

"My current view is that I have to therefore remand you in custody.”

The defense asked for Brand to be granted an "act of humanity" by being allowed to return home this weekend to say goodbye to his children, but the judge refused and ordered him to be incarcerated immediately.

"Whatever the good intentions of the family and the defendant today, I think there are substantial grounds to fear he might in the end not feel able to come along and face his sentence.”

President Trump has also publicly aired his thoughts on Brand

However, Musk is not the only powerful man to have had their thoughts on Brand go viral this week, as a tweet from US President Donald Trump also resurfaced; although in a rare move, he seems to be on the right side of history.

In 2014, two years after Brand finalized his divorce from Katy Perry, Trump took to X to ask: “What the hell do people see in Russell?”

The president then went on to call him a "major loser".

Brand responded: "@realDonaldTrump are you drunk when you write these tweets?

"Or does that foam you spray on your bald head make you high?”

Then, the tweet that went famous: "@katyperry Katy, what the hell were you thinking when you married loser Russell Brand.

"There is a guy who has got nothing going, a waste!”

Bianca Censori has been called out for her outfit choice once again, as she was pictured with her husband Kanye West's children.

The hip-hop artist has made a long-awaited return to the fashion runway at his latest Yeezy fashion show in Los Angeles on Wednesday (November 4).

West attended the show with his wife, Censori, as well as his four children, all of whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, seven, could be seen posing for photos with their father at the fashion show.

It was a noteworthy occasion, as it has been four years since West's Yeezy brand was dropped by Adidas following his erratic behavior and antisemitic comments.

The 'Runaway' artist was eager to bring attention to Yeezy once again, but Censori may have brought the limelight elsewhere.

Bianca Censori criticized for latest outfit

The Australian architect, who has been married to West for nearly four years, posed for a photo alongside her stepdaughter, North West, at the Yeezy Season 01 presentation.

North could be seen in her now-signature long turquoise blue hair, to go with an all-black ensemble, which was on show as she stood next to her dad's wife.

While North had her own look, her younger siblings sported monochrome-colored outfits, while West wore a leather set complete with a gold belt.

Censori stole headlines with her revealing number, a cream-colored velvet, skintight jumpsuit ensemble featuring a zip undone to her lower stomach, along with matching beige lace-up thigh-high boots.

It isn't the first time the 31-year-old has chosen to wear tight, revealing clothing, infamously wearing a see-through dress at the 2025 Grammys.

Reaction to Bianca Censori's outfit

Many disgruntled fans took to social media to critique the Aussie's choice of clothing, as one joked: "She should sensori herself," while another said: "Someone tell this girl her outfit is so freaking bad."

"This may count as the most conservative outfit Bianca has ever worn," a third quipped.

One particularly concerned user asked: "Why does she dress like that around the kids? Horrible."

Others agreed with this point, wondering why she didn't dress more conservatively, as it was suggested that she was one movement away from a 'wardrobe malfunction'.

Kanye West's first public appearance with family in two years

Her choice of clothing, or lack thereof, took some shine away from West's first public family outing with all four children since September 2024.

It was still a memorable moment for the family, as West's last appearance with his children was for his Vultures 2 album listening party at the Wuyuan River Sports Stadium in Hainan, two years ago.

He brought his kids out halfway through the performance so they could take part in singing 'Everybody'.

North featured in West's previous album, Vultures 1, on 'Talking / Once Again', which marked her musical debut and her first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100.

Katy Perry may have witnessed an alleged incident involving her ex-husband Russell Brand, after it emerged that the singer could have been present when he allegedly inappropriately put his head in a woman's lap during a television production.

The pop star was largely kept out of proceedings during Brand's trial, but the possibility that she witnessed the alleged incident was raised during legal arguments ahead of the case being heard by a jury in London.

With the incident said to have taken place in 2009 while filming for Channel 4, Ian Winter KC, who was representing Brand, told the court that the woman involved claimed other people had been present at the time, potentially including Perry.

“She [the victim] says that other people were in the room and witnessed it, possibly including the defendant's future wife, Ms Katy Perry,” he said.

Despite the reference, Scotland Yard did not approach the singer, 42, to obtain a witness statement, and her possible presence was also removed from the trial after submissions from Brand's legal team.

Prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones KC agreed that references to Perry should be excluded, telling the court: “For the avoidance of doubt, the prosecution recognises that matters post-2009 involving his relationship with Katy Perry may be sensitive, as may his previous faiths, and we are content to remove these.”

Now, the convicted sex offender, who was found guilty of rape, as well as three counts of sexual assault, awaits his sentencing and could face years in prison, with other assault claims still to be heard.

The pair's short-lived relationship

Perry and Brand first met in 2009 on the set of the comedy film Get Him To The Greek, where their relationship developed quickly, with the pair tying the knot the following year in a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony in Rajasthan, India.

However, their marriage was short-lived, with the couple separating after just 14 months together as husband and wife, with their divorce finalised in 2012.

Details of Brand's past struggles with alcohol and drug addiction were also kept from jurors during the trial, including information about his life before his conversion to Christianity in 2024.

Senior Crown prosecutor David Roberts addressed questions about the investigation, saying: “We followed all reasonable lines of inquiry in statements that would have been relevant to the specific charges and I'm satisfied that all reasonable lines of inquiry were covered.”

An old tweet from President Donald Trump has resurfaced, following news that Russell Brand has been found guilty of rape and sexual assault charges.

The British actor appeared at London's Southwark Crown Court today (November 5) after two days of deliberations, as a jury delivered a verdict on all counts.

Brand, 51, was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault.

He was found not guilty on two other counts of rape and one of attempted indecent assault, as a judge told the Get Him to the Greek star to expect a 'significant custodial term'.

Mr Justice Bennathan added: "My current view is that I therefore have to remand you into custody," with Brand set to be sentenced on Monday.

Donald Trump's resurfaced tweet about Russell Brand

Brand famously married Katy Perry in a Hindu wedding near the Ranthambore tiger sanctuary in Rajasthan, India, back in October 2010, after meeting on the set of Get Him to the Greek.

But by December 2011, Brand filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, with the divorce being finalized in July 2012.

A couple of years later, Brand was the subject of a Twitter feud started by Donald Trump for no particular reason.

The US President told followers back in 2014 that he saw the Brit on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, asking: "What the hell do people see in Russell?"

He then called him 'a major loser!'

Just ten minutes later, he posted: "@katyperry must have been drunk when she married Russell Brand @rustyrockets – but he did send me a really nice letter of apology!"

Brand hit back, asking: "@realDonaldTrump are you drunk when you write these tweets? Or does that foam you spray on your bald head make you high?"

The actor then joked about Trump's family inheritance, before sharing an article calling Trump a 'deadbeat' as he looked to run for President in 2016.

Then came the infamous tweet aimed at Brand and his ex-wife Perry, which read: "@katyperry Katy, what the hell were you thinking when you married loser Russell Brand. There is a guy who has got nothing going, a waste!"

Trump mentioned Perry again, writing: "I watched Russell Brand and I think his mind is fried - he looks really bad. Russell is a total joke, a dummy who is lost!"

Russell Brand is being investigated over further allegations

Brand was being tried on three charges of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one of attempted indecent assault, which was reduced from indecent assault during the trial, based on allegations made by six women.

He firmly denied all allegations before his guilty verdict.

It was then reported by the Metropolitan Police that Brand is being investigated over further rape allegations made by two women.

Brand has already been questioned by officers about the complaints, as the Met Police said the investigation 'remains ongoing'.

They added in a statement: "The suspect has previously been interviewed under caution in connection with the allegations."

Paris Jackson has filed a petition for $600 million from her late father Michael Jackson's estate to go to his children.

According to the court filing, obtained by Page Six, the 28-year-old singer is asking a judge to order the estate to make a preliminary distribution of $600 million to the Michael Jackson Family Trust, claiming the longtime executor has kept the children from receiving their inheritance.

Paris's claim says there is no legitimate reason why the money has not been transferred to the trust for her and her brothers, Prince, 29, and Bigi, 24, in over 17 years since Michael's death.

Her filing claims that despite the estate generating billions of dollars, including hundreds of millions in cash, the trust which was earmarked for her and her siblings remains unfunded.

The petition, filed on October 29 in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges that the executor, John Branca, retains an "iron grip" over the three children by controlling when and if they receive money from their father's estate.

Branca had initially been hired by Michael in 1985 as an attorney and chairman of the Michael Jackson Company, but resigned over financial matters in 2006, before rejoining eight days before the King of Pop's death in 2009.

According to Michael's will, he had stipulated that his children should start receiving income from their portions of the trust when they reached the age of 21.

Paris claims this never materialized, and that they instead receive smaller sums, with the amounts determined by Branca - also alleging that he uses his control over those payments to discourage the siblings from questioning his handling of the estate.

The filing also claims that when Paris began challenging the estate’s administration last year, including objecting to what she described as Branca’s “non-contractual gifts” to colleagues, she was instead met with a multimillion dollar reduction in the money given to her and her siblings, as well as public attacks and "scorched earth litigation".

The petition adds: "This course of conduct and administration should not continue."

A spokesperson for the Michael Jackson Estate told the outlet: "Ms. Jackson’s counsel is well aware that the Estate is prevented from fully funding the charitable foundation and the individual trusts for the beneficiaries until several legal hurdles have been removed, including in particular the ongoing IRS litigation, where they sought $700 million in taxes and penalties from the Estate.

"While we were able to secure a ruling to significantly reduce that amount, the matter has not been settled and could still change.

"Further, the claim that the executor has withheld or ‘cut’ payments is a complete fabrication. More than $200 million has already been distributed to or for the benefit of Paris and the other beneficiaries."

The statement added that the Estate "looks forward to the time when all issues are resolved so that the charitable foundation and trusts can be fully funded as Michael wanted."

According to the filing, the singer had intended that each of his chidren should receive a third of the principal in their respective trusts when they turned 30, receiving half of their remaining shares at the age of 35, and the rest of the balance deposited when they are 40 years old.

Paris's filing argues that the estate has more than enough funds to pay the trust as well as its outstanding obligations, citing the 2018 sale of its roughly 10% interest in EMI Music Publishing to Sony for $287.5 million and the 2020 sale of Neverland Ranch for $22 million.

It also mentions the 2023 deal with Sony in which the estate received $750 million upfront for a 50% interest in its remaining intellectual property assets, meaning those transactions alone generated over $1 billion in pre-tax, pre-expense liquidity, per the petition.

The estate is said to be valued at between $2-3 billion once gross earnings are added, and as of December 2024, the estate reportedly held approximately $850 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Paris's claim estimates that even after accounting for potential liabilities, around $600 million remains available for distribution, arguing that California law favors distributing estate assets to beneficiaries as soon as it can be done without jeopardizing creditors or other interested parties.

She has asked the court to order Branca to transfer $600 million, or whatever amount the judge determines to be appropriate, to the family trust and is also further seeking reimbursement for her legal fees and costs from estate assets, with the matter scheduled for a hearing in December.

Jennifer Lawrence has prompted a conversation around one of the less-discussed physical effects of childbirth after openly revealing how becoming a mother has changed her body.

The actor recently opened up about the subject during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she shared a blunt, albeit comical, observation about what happens after giving birth.

“Your vagina will bounce back, your butthole won’t,” Lawrence quipped.

The 36-year-old shares two sons with her husband, art gallery director Cooke Maroney; Cy, three, as well as a one-year-old son, whose name the couple have not shared publicly.

Lawrence did not go into detail about the specific changes she had experienced, but admitted she had been “completely unprepared” for the physical realities of motherhood.

“There’s no going back,” she admitted. “That thing is coming out.”

According to experts, pregnancy and delivery can place considerable strain on the pelvic floor, potentially causing a range of problems, including hemorrhoids, anal fissures, and injuries to the muscles responsible for controlling bowel movements.

“Pregnancy and childbirth put extreme pressures on the pelvic floor and can cause hemorrhoids, fissures, and sphincter weakness and injuries,” explained Dr Poppy Addison, a colorectal surgeon at Northwell's Staten Island University Hospital.

One of the most common issues is hemorrhoids, which can develop when the pressure and straining involved in vaginal delivery causes veins around the anus to swell, and while the swelling can eventually settle, some women are left with a permanent change in the form of an external hemorrhoidal skin tag.

“These are stretched out skin and usually do not go away, though the appearance can change minimally if they’re small,” said Dr Carmen Fong, a colorectal surgeon and chief medical officer at Bummed.

Childbirth can also affect the muscles that support the rectum and help control bowel movements.

As a baby passes through the birth canal, these muscles can become stretched or injured, potentially leaving some women with lasting changes.

“Sometimes they recover completely, but sometimes the stretching or injury leaves lasting changes,” said Dr Amir Shay, a gynecological surgeon and OB-GYN medical adviser for Bummed.

This can result in difficulties controlling wind, sudden urges to use the toilet, or problems fully emptying the bowels, and in more severe cases, weakened pelvic floor support can contribute to rectal prolapse, a condition where the rectum slips down and protrudes through the anus.

“It can go back in, but the prolapse usually doesn’t resolve until surgically removed,” Fong explained, although she noted that pelvic floor therapy can help.

Some women can also experience serious tears during delivery, with particularly severe injuries extending towards the anus, and these injuries can sometimes leave scarring or, in certain cases, result in a fistula.

Anal fissures, which are small but painful tears in the skin surrounding the anus, are another potential problem that can develop after childbirth, sometimes as a result of constipation.

“Studies suggest that roughly one in four to one in three women experience hemorrhoids during pregnancy or after childbirth,” Dr. Shay said.

“More serious tears involving the muscles that control bowel movements occur in approximately 3% of vaginal deliveries.”

Experts claim issues are often treatable

Thankfully, most women do not go on to develop long-term problems with bowel control, Shay added, but experts believe many women are reluctant to speak openly about their symptoms.

“I know women underreport these postpartum symptoms,” Fong claimed.

The good news is that many of the issues affecting the anus and pelvic floor after childbirth can be treated, while certain steps may help reduce the likelihood of them developing or becoming worse.

One of the most important things is avoiding constipation, which can place additional pressure on the anal area.

“Preventing constipation is one of the most important steps,” Shay said.

“Drinking enough water, eating fiber, and using stool softeners when needed can help reduce pressure on the anal area.”

Anyone experiencing ongoing pain, constipation, bleeding or other concerning symptoms should also seek medical advice, says Dr. Addison.

“If someone is experiencing constipation, pain or bleeding or anything else concerning, I recommend they come to a colorectal surgeon regardless of the stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery to discuss an individualized approach,” Dr. Addison said.

“We can suggest methods to avoid the problem getting worse throughout pregnancy or how to address it after delivery.”

Ultimately, Dr. Shay believes there needs to be greater awareness of the physical changes women can experience after having a baby.

“The vagina isn’t the only area affected by pregnancy and delivery. The anus and pelvic floor can change too, and women shouldn’t feel embarrassed to talk about it,” he urged. “These problems are common, and many can be treated.”

Paris Hilton's Halloween costume has sparked backlash over one small detail.

On Monday (October 26), the 45-year-old posted a series of images of her family's Beauty and the Beast-inspired photo shoot for the spooky season.

Hilton cosplayed as Belle, while her husband, Carter Reum, dressed as the Beast, her son Phoenix, three, was a mini Lumière, and daughter London, two, transformed into talking teacup Chip.

"My life is a fairytale," she penned in her Instagram caption, "and the magic never ends."

The Simple Life alum also posted a behind-the-scenes video of the family's fun shoot day, quipping: "The reality of a #Halloween shoot with two toddlers."

The clip shows her children jumping under her hoop skirt, which they call "a tent".

A voice in the back can also be heard saying to Phoenix: "If you’re super good for this, you’re gonna get to meet a gecko! Do you wanna meet a gecko and hold it?"

This line clearly worked, as Hilton joked that Phoenix, who did get to meet a gecko, and London were in their "locked-in era" and copied their mom’s poses.

Online users questioned why Hilton dressed as Belle

Despite sharing wholesome Halloween moments, Hilton faced criticism from some online users for taking the lead role as Belle instead of her daughter.

"Why not let your daughter be Belle? Attention has to be on her! Poor little girl!" one disgruntled user said.

"Cute but maybe the kids should have been belle and beast and the adults the side dishes I mean it is a kids holiday," another commenter slammed.

A third added: "I think the kids should be the center of attention during this holiday. Let the daughter be the princess and the son the prince."

A fourth user took the criticism further, stating: "And this is 100% the reason she bought these babies - to literally play dressing up."

The backlash also prompted a response from Instagram user @ashleymlindsay, who posted a video addressing confusion about Hilton's daughter's costume.

Some viewers have mistakenly identified London as Mrs. Potts, who was voiced by Angela Lansbury in the animated movie, when she was actually Chip, Mrs. Potts’ teacup child.

The reality TV star eventually issued a response, sharing that Beauty and the Beast is one of the children's "favorite movies," and adding that her daughter said Chip "was her favorite character in the movie".

Last month, Hilton shared an insight into her life as a mother of two, telling US Weekly: "I feel like I, in my life, I do so many things.

"I’m a mom, I’m a businesswoman, I’m a DJ, I’m a pop star, I’m an artist. I do it all. So there’s always whatever vibe or theme is happening for the day, but for me, I’m a sliving mom, so I’ll always be, you know, dressing the way I do and having fun with it. But then also, like, the hot housewife vibes as well," she added.

She also said that her daughter already has a love of fashion and is constantly raiding her closet.

"She’s only two and a half, and she’s coming in my closet, trying to try on my shoes now, wearing the purses, the outfits," she said. "She’s already trying, and she’s a mini fashionista. She’s like a mini me. She’s so gorgeous, so sweet, and she can raid my closet whenever she likes.

"She is the luckiest girl in the world because [of] the amount of clothes that she’s going to have, and I tell her that every day when I’m trying something on. She’s like, 'Mama, I love that.' I’m like, 'Honey, this is going to be all yours one day, so you are a very, very lucky girl,'" she added.

Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence has opened up about feeling uncomfortable while filming one particular nude scene.

Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the Hunger Games star revealed that she has recently become aware of the grave responsibility that comes with being at the top of the game.

The actor feels she has a duty to look out for people starting out

While Lawrence may have no qualms about calling people out for their behavior, or alerting the crew when she is not happy with the conduct on set, she noted that young actors beginning their careers do not have the same privilege.

She told host Alex Cooper: "I speak up more because I’m also aware of the place that I have in the industry."

The incident that Lawrence references involved crew members who had not been approved to be there being allowed on set during a scene that involved nudity.

Recalling how she handled it on the podcast, Lawrence said: "I came down hard on it."

Paving the way for those who come after her, Lawrence made a clear and important point. If one of the biggest blockbuster stars cannot expect to be respected at work, what chance does a young up-and-coming actor have?

The Oscar-winning actor noted that a young hopeful might feel uncomfortable challenging her superiors, as calling them out could earn her the often misogynistic reputation of being "difficult".

Arguably worse, they could feel pressured to remain silent and find themselves in a position that compromises their privacy or even safety.

While Lawrence chose not to name the production in which the incident happened or when, the actor explained that she wanted everyone involved to understand why their actions were unacceptable.

The Hollywood actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, officially rules that scenes involving nudity or simulated sex must be filmed on closed sets, with access restricted to people essential to the production.

This essentially means that just because someone is working on the film set, it does not mean that they are entitled to watch the talent take their kit off.

Lawrence has long championed conversations about consent

It comes as no surprise that of all the Hollywood stars out there, it is Lawrence looking out for her juniors. In 2014, Lawrence was among several female celebrities whose intimate photographs were stolen and circulated online without their consent.

At the time, she led the charge against the hacking, labeling it a sexual violation and spoke very openly about the impact it had on her relationship with nudity and consent.

Lawrence later revealed that the decision to wear just her birthday suit in a scene in the spy thriller Red Sparrow just four years later was not one she made lightly.

Although she spoke candidly to Vanity Fair about being scared that people would question why she was willing to appear naked on screen after being so vocal about the release of her private photographs, she noted that there was a stark difference. What makes the two situations entirely separate things is consent.

To make things crystal clear, she explained: "One is my choice."

Recent images of Jennifer Lawrence have left fans particularly stunned, with the Hollywood actor looking unrecognizable.

Lawrence, who is now the proud mother of two, recently confirmed that she had undergone a boob job, while making the admission that she wanted to be a “sexy mum.”

The 36-year-old is also rumored to have undertaken another procedure in the form of an upper blepharoplasty, changing her renowned hooded eyes.

The cosmetic surgery involves the alteration of eyelids which have the propensity to obstruct vision, although the process is frequently used to enhance the appearance of eye features and general facial aesthetic.

While the No Hard Feelings actor has never confirmed or denied that she underwent eye surgery on her eyes, many fans have been left questioning her differing appearance, with one X user writing: “Whaaatttt diiiid sheee dooooo?! Her hooded eyes made her..𝗛𝗘𝗥.. her look was unique because of this.”

Another added: “Wow. I honestly thought that was two different people. Why did she do this?? She was absolutely stunning the way she was!!”

While a third added: “I would have no idea this was Jennifer Lawrence without the post below mentioning it.”

In an interview with The Cut, Lawrence confirmed that she had opted for breast surgery, claiming: “I want to be a sexy mum. At drop-off, I want to look like a woman that has her s**t together even when I’ve just woken up and don’t have my s**t together.”

Lawrence has regularly openly discussed her desire to embellish her appearance since giving birth to her two sons, Cy, four, and her 19-month-old, whose name she and partner, Cooke Maroney, have kept from public knowledge.

Lawrence has frequently revealed her desire for cosmetic surgery

During a 2025 interview with The New Yorker, Lawrence admitted: “Everything bounced back, pretty much, after the first one.

“Second one, nothing bounced back.”

Meanwhile, CREO Clinic plastic surgeon, Omar Tillo, analyzed her new look, speculating: “Looking at photos side to side, I’d say it’s very likely.

“Her eyes do look a little more open than they used to, and you can see more of her upper eyelids now. That can sometimes be a sign of an upper blepharoplasty.

“That said, I wouldn’t confidently say she’s had the procedure based on photographs alone. Eyebrow positioning, makeup, lighting and the natural changes that happen to our faces as we age can all affect how the upper eyelids look.”

This news of Lawrence’s facial transformation comes after recent speculation around her fellow actor, Emma Stone, who fans questioned over having a “whole new face” after purported eyelid surgery.

Christina Applegate has revealed the health problems she has been struggling with since being misdiagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS).

The actress has told fans that she’s ‘back at square one’, and that her condition is getting worse, despite having no idea what it really is.

Applegate, 54, revealed that her day-to-day challenges are getting worse, as her mobility has become incredibly limited.

Speaking on her MeSsy podcast, which she co-hosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, the Anchorman star shared that it took her 10 minutes to get out of bed.

It's an issue that she never had before, as she revealed that she now also needs a walker to get around her house.

Applegate said it's obvious that her condition isn't improving, though she still doesn't know what she has exactly.

Christina Applegate opens up about condition

Applegate made a return to the MeSsy podcast after a seven-month absence, revealing in back-to-back episodes that she had taken time out.

In that time, she was told by her doctor that she doesn’t actually have MS, and needed time to process the life-changing news.

It turned out that all of her symptoms, which she has been experiencing since 2021, are not actually MS at all.

Tearfully explaining how she found out, Applegate said: “She came into my room and said, ‘Congratulations, you don’t have MS,’

"I was, like, not happy at all. Everybody else was so happy.”

Now, Applegate is trying to figure out what is going on, and what her condition really is.

The Jesse star admitted she feels as if she’s ‘let everybody down’ after the podcasters had become the ‘poster children’ for MS.

She explained: "I had a reason… as to why my day sucked every day,

“Now I don’t have a reason and it’s very unnerving and it’s very confusing for me.”

Doctor revealed complexities of MS

Dr Marwa Kaisey, a neurology specialist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, made an appearance on the show and explained that MS misdiagnoses aren't uncommon.

She highlighted that there isn't ‘one single test for MS’, adding: "It’s not like we have something like a pregnancy test that says, ‘Yes. You have it.’ ‘No. You don’t.’ It’s a list of criteria.”

Apparently, nearly 20 percent of those diagnosed with MS don't actually have it.

“Almost one in five of these people who’d been told they had MS, some for decades, didn’t actually have it, and a majority of them were on medication to treat their MS,” Dr Kaisey said.

Applegate admitted of her symptoms: "You don’t get misdiagnosed and then all of a sudden I’m better,

"I haven’t gotten better, Jamie! If anything, I’ve gotten worse.

"So I’m back at square one where I don’t know what’s going on with me, and that’s going to be an online investigation that my doctors are going to be getting into just to find out what has been going on since 2021. Why did this happen?”

The actress sadly revealed that she has gone through 'a great depression' because of the recent turn of events, adding: "But I lost everything. I lost my job.

"Nothing magical happened when she said, ‘You don’t have MS.’ Nothing magical happened,” she stated.

Donald Trump is once again offering Americans financial rewards of $1 million if they do one specific thing during upcoming midterm elections.

Trump, who has already pledged $5,000 to every American should the Republicans retain their congressional majority, has now teased a larger sum with one specific condition.

Trump's latest financial reward offers eligible Americans $1 million

In a post on Truth Social on Monday, Trump presented American voters with a chance to be financially remunerated should they report voter fraud on November 3, when votes are due to be submitted.

In his post, Trump claimed, “Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

This follows the ‘Trump dividend’ he promised at his midterm convention in Dallas in September, despite calls that this offer was unconstitutional.

Since the beginning of his first term in office, Trump has frequently accused Congress of voter fraud, but has never substantiated these claims.

While Trump didn’t elaborate on the expected timescale of payments, nor how they would be funded, questions, of course, remain around the legitimacy of such claims.

The former Attorney General of the Trump administration, William Barr, has denied that voter fraud has ever been found.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Barr revealed to the Associated Press.

“There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud, and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results.

“And the D.H.S and D.O.J. have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that.”

Democrats were quick in their response and dismissal of Trump’s claim around the $5,000 dividend, highlighting that it would cost a staggering $1.3 trillion to hand out such payments to approximately 270 million Americans.

This latest pledge is unprecedented and is likely to be both controversial and highly contentious, as people post their votes next week.

The next Super Bowl Halftime Show performer has been confirmed - and it's none other than Jay Z.

The news was confirmed on October 26, when a black and white advert aired during Monday Night Football, featuring the rapper and producer.

The 15-second clip showed the artist - real name Shawn Carter - sitting in an empty stadium wearing sunglasses, as the word 'Goat's out of the bag' flashed up on screen, as a number of actual goats could be seen around him.

The clip also featured music from his song 'Public Service Announcement', saying: "Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is Hov."

The 'Empire State of Mind' star, 56, will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show on Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

While the announcement stirred up a great deal of excitement, many fans were saying the same thing - namely, that Jay Z chose himself for the honor, as he is one of the main decision-makers for who the performer will be each year, along with the National Football League (NFL), Apple Music, and Jay-Z’s entertainment agency, Roc Nation.

Fans commented: "Jay-Z selecting Jay-Z to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show is certainly something," and: "Bro gave him himself a job that nobody asked him to do."

Others added: "He announced himself lmfaooo," and: "Jay Z has chosen Jay Z as headliner of the Super Bowl halftime show."

After unveiling the news, Jay Z said in a statement: "From Reasonable Doubt to standing on the Super Bowl Halftime stage, this has been a journey.

"Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world’s biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true."

His performance comes after this year's Halftime Show headliner Bad Bunny took the stage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The reggaeton star brought out a line-up of celebrity guests, including Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Cardi B, Karol G, Pedro Pascal, and Jessica Alba.

While Jay Z has yet to confirm any guest performers, many fans are hoping he might bring out his superstar wife, Beyonce, for a surprise appearance.

This was further fueled by the NFL, which said in a statement: "Anticipation as to who Jay-Z might have guest star at halftime for the big game will now kick off. Of course, his wife, Beyoncé, will be atop the list."

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell added that he "couldn't be more excited for fans around the world to experience the artistry, creativity and cultural impact he will bring.

"When we first reached an agreement with Roc Nation to produce the show, I had just one request: that Jay-Z take the stage himself one day, whenever the moment felt right to him."
