The 63-year-old actress, beloved for her role in the American Pie franchise and HBO's The White Lotus, made the surprising discovery during an interview with Swedish outlet MovieZine for A Minecraft Movie.

'Why didn't I stick with him?'

While sitting next to co-star Jason Mamoa, Coolidge casually revealed that she'd once dated a Swedish man named Rafael Edholm.

"I dated a really handsome Swedish guy in my youth," she told the interviewer before sharing his name.

The interviewer immediately recognized him. "Ooh, that's cool...He's famous," they replied.

The Legally Blonde star was caught completely off guard by the revelation.

"He is? Why didn’t I stick with him? He is now? I didn’t know that? Oh my god, can you get a message to him," a surprised Coolidge said.

She then took the opportunity to send Edholm a playful message directly through the camera.

"Rafael, I didn’t know you were going to be successful, but anyway, if you want to know where I live," she joked.

Turning back to the interviewer, she added: "After this, I’ll give you my phone number."

Her famous ex quickly responded

Edholm is known in Sweden for appearing in several TV shows, including Veni Vidi Vici and The Spiral.

It didn't take long for Coolidge's message to reach him as the 60-year-old actor later responded on Instagram.

"Hey, Jennifer, this is your famous Swedish ex. Where the hell are ya? Come and visit Sweden; it’s the most beautiful place in the world," he said while jogging through the snow.

"See you soon," he said, before blowing a kiss toward the camera.

The exchange quickly caught the attention of fans, who flooded social media with reactions.

One person wrote: "I'm totally enthralled how this will play out....." Another joked: "girlll get your man," and a third reacted: "Absolutely GOLD."

Anyone hoping for a reunion may be disappointed as Edholm is reportedly married.

Coolidge says The White Lotus transformed her dating life

The award-winning actress has often opened up about the impact her most famous roles have had on her love life.

She previously discussed the attention she received after playing Jeanine Stifler in American Pie, and has also revealed that her Emmy-winning performance as Tanya McQuoid in the HBO series sparked a fresh wave of interest from men.

"Look, I got a lot of benefits out of Stifler’s Mom - believe me," she said during an interview with The Sunday Times in March 2025, before explaining that the reaction to Tanya had been even more surprising.

"Even though I play a complete weirdo in White Lotus, cute guys come up to me. And this is far better than American Pie because people were really sad about Tanya falling off a boat," she said.

She added: "These men like you better because they feel that you went through something. That show really upped my game!"

The TV personality hosts the Let's Be Honest podcast, which focuses primarily on dating, relationships, wellness, and self-love.

But in the show's latest instalment (June 2), Cavallari has decided to come clean about a certain celebrity who didn't conduct himself properly while they were on a date.

The 39-year-old admitted that she went out twice with "a very famous man … maybe four years ago," at the Sunset Tower Hotel and then at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

While the date itself was wholesome, it culminated in an inappropriate moment, which prompted the mom-of-three to call him a "f***ing weirdo."

Cavallari didn't name the man, but noted that he was a "narcissist" who was "bad news," essentially becoming a bullet dodged.

What happened on Cavallari's date?

The reality star recalled on the podcast: “[They were] two really great dates, honestly two of the best dates of my life.”

For their second date, she said they got a suite, swam all day, and showered separately before a romantic dinner on the patio.

The Hills star then remembered that the famous figure brought up “those insecurities about your body [that] you just want to get over with… when you first start dating somebody.”

Apparently, she recalled him saying: “I have a mole on my d**k. It’s not like that bad, but it’s noticeable. Can I just show it to you?

“So he pulls out his d**k, first time I’ve seen it. I don’t see anything. I think he said [the mark] was more flesh-colored, like a white mole.”

However, Cavallari said that she “didn’t do anything with that d**k that was in my face,” suggesting that this likely wasn't the first time he had pulled this on a date.

She suggested that “that’s what he tells every f***ing girl to get his d**k out,” claiming that “once your d**k is out, it’s pretty common” to take things to the next level.

But Cavallari wasn't fussed, and she allegedly said: “Put it away, f**king weirdo.”

Although this wasn't all, as the Laguna Beach star claimed: “This is mean, but I think he’s kind of known for having a big d**k and it wasn’t that big, and I think that’s what the insecurity was really about.”

She went a step further, claiming that she noticed that "he had the flattest ass and horrible bacne scars," adding that she's got "bigger fish to fry, buddy."

Apparently, those physical traits were "one of the biggest f**king turnoffs."

Did Cavallari ever see the mystery man again?

Luckily, Cavallari never saw the man again, remaining grateful that she didn't go beyond "making out" with him.

When describing the celeb, she said he was "bad news," adding that she "couldn’t have dodged a bigger bullet," while labeling him as a “full-blown f**king narcissist” who “wanted to control” her.

Despite her ill feelings towards him, she kept his identity anonymous, explaining that she didn't want anyone to "pinpoint" who he was, adding that she had never spoken about him publicly.

The years-old story had never been broadcast before, until this week.

She then opened up on her dating history further, going into a “hot” Tyler Cameron hookup as well as an NHL fling.

For many people, becoming a member of the Mile High Club, having sex while on an aircraft, has become something of an adult rite of passage.

Whether it's with a partner you're travelling with or someone you happen to meet during the flight, the idea has long fascinated passengers despite airline staff insisting it's far harder to pull off than people think.

The challenge is often due to the fact that there is a lack of privacy, especially on commercial flights, where cramped airplane bathrooms and regular cabin checks make intimate meetings both difficult and risky.

That's why wealthier travelers flying on private jets may have a much easier time when it comes to coital exchanges, due to fewer rules.

Celebrity Mile High Club stories

Among those who have openly discussed joining the club are Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber. During an appearance on Bieber's podcast Who's in My Bathroom? in 2023, Kardashian brought up the topic directly.

“Have you ever joined the mile-high club?” Kardashian asked.

“Yes,” Bieber immediately replied, prompting Kardashian to respond: “Samesies.”

Bieber then joked: “I was gonna say, I don’t even need to ask you that.”

Pretending to be offended, Kardashian replied: “Why? Why do you not need to ask me that?”

“You own a plane,” Bieber explained.

Laughing, Kardashian responded: “I thought you were just saying, like, ‘Of course - you’re a w***e.’”

Neither star revealed specific details about when the encounters took place, but the exchange quickly went viral among fans.

While both women are now mothers, the conversation highlighted how private jet travel can make the achievement significantly easier than it would be for the average passenger.

For most people, limited space, lack of privacy, and airline security measures make joining the club much more difficult.

Addressing myths around the Mile High Club

Flight attendant Grace Hampson recently addressed the topic, saying: “People trying to join the mile high club aren't a total myth but... it doesn't happen often like people think.”

She added that “increased security and regular cabin patrolling make it near on impossible.”

So while the Mile High Club continues to capture people's imagination, airline staff say it's far less common on commercial flights than movies and pop culture might suggest.

The statement was initially released by Daphne Joy, who is also the mother of 50 Cent's child, before it was deleted.

This unsolicited tape reportedly involved one of the record producer's infamous "freak off" parties, with Joy and an escort having sex while Diddy, real name Sean Combs, was watching.

Back in October 2025, Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison after being found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

But by being acquitted of racketeering conspiracy, fraud or coercion, and sex trafficking, the music mogul has avoided a life sentence, as prosecutors asked for a sentence of at least 11 years.

For the alleged incidents over a 25-year period, Combs would be found guilty on just two of five charges, and faced a maximum of 20 years behind bars going into the sentencing.

But now, Joy, real name Daphne Narvaez, has spoken about her Diddy-related sex tape doing the rounds on social media.

Daphne Joy's statement on the sex tape

As reported by US Weekly, the NSFW footage started to circulate online, and Joy has claimed in a statement that she had been "blackmailed" before its release.

Joy stated: “It’s still so painful for me to process the harsh reality and truth of that relationship, but as time passes and in my quiet moments, I realize that it was far from love.

"The recent leak was a tape I never consented to being filmed on."

She then revealed that a "media outlet" approached her for comment, informing her that they had the tape.

Joy candidly added: "It was the first time I ever fainted in my life,

"Once the media company understood the tape they purchased was revenge porn and an extortion scheme, they backed off from broadcasting it," the model highlighted.

However, Joy said she was grateful for this, explaining: "I know they are probably reading this and I want to say thank you for doing the right thing.

"Even though years later… It’s come back to haunt me again.”

It was a "triggering" incident

Joy was honest about the video's release as "painful," claiming: "I was not and was never in my right mind throughout the entirety of that relationship,

"Seeing myself so lost is excruciating.

"I just want to hold that girl in that room and get her out of there, and tell her that wasn’t love and she didn’t need to do this for love," she emotionally admitted.

The mother admitted that her "heart is breaking" in typing the message out, adding: “I wish so many things were different, but I can’t take back the hands of time. I can only continue to move forward and slowly learn to love and trust myself again.

"I want to love and protect myself so much that I’ll never come across such a harmful environment again. This is the first time that I have ever felt a part of my own body and that my body belongs to me."

She concluded by stating: "I am precious, I am special, I am worthy… this I promise to hold true in my heart for the woman I am becoming and for the woman I once lost.”

On Tuesday (May 2), the 36-year-old was convicted of attempted murder, rape, first-degree residential burglary, domestic violence offences, and related charges stemming from the May 2024 attack on special effects makeup artist Allie Shehorn.

Prosecutors said Pasqual broke into Shehorn's home in Sunland, Los Angeles, during the early hours of the morning and stabbed her more than 20 times before fleeing the scene and attempting to make his way toward Mexico.

Authorities later arrested him at a US Border Patrol checkpoint in Sierra Blanca, Texas.

Shehorn spoke out at Pasqual's trial

During the trial, Shehorn, who has worked on productions including Babylon, Mean Girls, and Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, delivered emotional testimony about the night she was attacked.

"I locked the door, and he just started punching holes in that door and broke that open," she recalled, per Metro. "I just ran into the bathroom because I thought there's another lock on that door," she added.

Jurors also heard that the makeup artist had previously obtained a restraining order against the actor before the brutal stabbing.

Court documents reportedly alleged that he had earlier assaulted her with a belt, broken down doors inside their home, and later raped and choked her in April 2024.

Following the sentencing, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman praised Shehorn for helping secure the conviction.

"Today’s 32 years to life sentence holds Nick Pasqual accountable for the horrific crimes he committed against someone who once loved and trusted him," Hochman said. "Allie Shehorn miraculously survived and courageously stood before her abuser in court to testify about the brutality she endured."

He also described the victim impact statement she delivered during sentencing as "powerful".

The case had previously been condemned by former Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón, who called the attack "a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence."

"My thoughts and heartfelt sympathies are with the victim in this horrific incident," Gascón said.

"Our office, including our Bureau of Victim Services, extends our support and resources to her as she embarks on the long and difficult journey of healing from both the physical and emotional trauma inflicted upon her.

"This heinous incident is a stark reminder of the dangers of domestic violence. We will ensure that the individual responsible for this egregious act is held accountable for their actions."

Victim left with permanent injuries

The attack left Shehorn with extensive injuries and long-term health complications.

Reports said she required breathing tubes and feeding tubes while recovering in the hospital, while friends launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cover medical expenses.

"Every day is different, and it's a struggle, and just dealing with the permanent damage is really hard. I can't go back completely to how I was," she revealed.

She also disclosed that she suffered partial vision loss and had not regained full feeling in her hands.

The horror of the attack was also described by Shehorn's roommate, Christine White, who said she discovered her friend "bleeding out" inside the home.

"This is not the kind of thing that should happen to anybody. You don't think this is ever going to happen to you," White said.

"I found her and I had to go into the bedroom where it happened... that wasn't a pretty sight."

Pasqual says he is focused on 'accountability'

The disgraced actor has since released a statement through representatives to Entertainment Weekly, saying he remains focused on "sobriety, recovery, accountability, and a respectful appellate process moving forward".

"I remain deeply saddened by everything surrounding this case, and I continue to wish healing and peace for everyone affected," he said.

Pasqual is currently appealing the ruling.

Bonnie Blue, the UK’s most famous adult content creator, who claims she became pregnant after having unprotected sex with 400 men during her “breeding mission”, has announced the shocking sexual act that will take place at her unconventional baby shower.

Bonnie Blue, real name Tia Billinger, revealed to LBC host Shelagh Fogarty on Friday, May 29, that she intends to combine traditional and wholesome baby shower activities with stomach-turning sex acts.

In the interview, Blue declared: “I'm inviting the public to turn my baby shower into a golden shower."

Bonnie's confession made the interviewer uncomfortable

The former OnlyFans star’s plan to have men urinate on her at the event next Saturday, June 6, understandably made host Fogarty “uncomfortable”.

In response to the shocking revelation, the journalist and radio presenter said: "This is your baby. This is your child."

Blue insisted: "Again, my body, this is what I'm choosing", before adding: "If you couldn't have sex during pregnancy, I would not have sex. But you can have sex, so I will have sex."

The star, best known for having sex with 1000 men in one day, explained that pregnancy is a "big fetish for a lot of people," so she wants "to make the most" of her pregnancy because it may only happen once.

Thankfully, the expectant mother said she will not be inviting her family to the event because “it’s like a fake baby shower. I won’t be inviting my family.”

It will not be your typical baby shower, but feature some traditional games

According to Blue, the event will feature a mix of traditional baby shower activities, including food and games, as well as adult-only explicit elements.

Explaining the day's itinerary, she told Fogarty: “It’s going to be a mix of wholesome, like the traditional baby shower games, like trying the baby food, along with other fluids added in there.”

The host responded to the hair-raising plan by asking: “Do you not see that in any way as a degradation of your baby?”

Replying to the question, Blue simply repeated: “I do not want to sexualize the baby.”

The influencer was also quizzed on who the father of the baby is, after previously claiming in a pregnancy reveal video in February that she became pregnant following a filmed event involving 400 men.

She described the father-to-be as “one of many”, but explained in the video posted to YouTube three months ago that she had collected identifying information from participants during the event.

In the video, Blue said: "Which is why I collected DNA samples on the day.

“It was important for me to remember more than just their penis size this time round, so I got their DNA samples and their contact details.”

Before taking the test, Jack Hobbs, a journalist at The Mirror US, acknowledged that exams had never been his strong suit, explaining: "Even in all my years of schooling, I have never been good at taking tests, and that taking a memory test while being filmed was not an optimal way to take one."

Despite that, he approached the challenge with confidence. He admitted he was "feeling a bit overconfident" and reasoned that if Trump had managed to supposedly pass the assessment, then he should be able to do the same.

What test did he take?

The test in question was the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a screening tool used by healthcare professionals to evaluate cognitive function and identify signs of mild cognitive impairment.

At first, things seemed to be going well. Jack said he felt confident as he completed the opening section of the assessment, a questionnaire focused on daily habits including diet, exercise and social interaction. He scored 90 out of 100, which the assessment described as a strong result, noting: "The higher the score, the better your cognitive health."

However, the confidence didn't last long once he reached the memory-based section of the exam.

Describing the second phase, he explained that participants are required to memorize and recreate patterns involving animals of different sizes and colours. He admitted this is where "everything went sideways" for him.

The writer said he has always struggled with tests, especially when working under time pressure. During the exercise, he had to memorise arrangements of elephants, zebras, and peacocks before accurately reproducing them from memory.

After completing the tasks, he was stunned when his final score appeared.

His initial result was just 36 out of 100.

Reflecting on the outcome, he joked: "I can almost hear the gasps of all the readers as well as the murmured worries of 'oh my god, he's only 30.'"

He emphasized that the score may have been affected by several factors, including the fact that he was being filmed and only had two minutes to complete each section. He also noted that he required accommodations in school because of dyslexia.

To see whether those circumstances had impacted his performance, he later retook the test without cameras present. This time, he scored 90 out of 100.

Even though his result fell within the expected range, he noted that the assessment still advised him to continue monitoring his performance.

The results stated: "We recommend that you continue monitoring your performance by repeating this test once a month."

The assessment also advised: "If this result does not reflect your perception about your performance and/or if you are concerned about it, you should consult your health care professional."

What is the MoCA?

The Montreal Cognitive Assessment is a brief, 30-point screening tool designed to help identify mild cognitive impairment and early symptoms of dementia. Most people complete the test in around 10 minutes.

According to its official website, the assessment was developed by Dr. Ziad Nasreddine in 1992 and completed in 2005.

The organisation describes it as: "MoCA is the most sensitive test available for detecting Alzheimer's, measuring executive functions and multiple cognitive domains which are important components not measured by the MMSE."

Today, the test is used worldwide in more than 100 languages and dialects and has been referenced in thousands of medical studies.

The writer's decision to take the MoCA came after President Donald Trump repeatedly highlighted his own cognitive test results since returning to office in January 2025.

Trump has stated on multiple occasions that he successfully completed cognitive assessments, often describing his performance as having "aced" them.

Questions surrounding the president's health have continued to attract attention, particularly after he posted an identical lengthy statement about the Iran conflict on two separate occasions.

In the post, Trump wrote: "If Iran surrenders, admits to their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us... The Democrats and the media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!! President DJT."

The repeated statement prompted renewed discussion among critics and supporters alike about the president's health and cognitive abilities.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TV news host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on the night of January 31 at her home in Tucson, Arizona, by her daughter Annie and son-in-law.

It is believed that this is the night when the suspected abduction took place.

Surveillance footage would show a masked person arriving at the property that night, with the case gaining attention around the world ever since, as Nancy remains missing.

Savannah stepped back from her post on NBC for months to support her family, as the likes of the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department continue to investigate Nancy's disappearance.

Now, an experienced forensic scientist has claimed to have an idea of what happened to Nancy Guthrie.

Forensic scientist's theory about Nancy Guthrie

Speaking to Fox News Digital on Saturday (May 29), Barbara Butcher, an experienced forensic scientist, said it was "flabbergasting" that someone would just take the elderly woman.

She speculated: “Someone in the area… had found out that Mrs Guthrie was the mother of Savannah Guthrie and said, 'Oh, she must be rich.'"

While ransom notes asking for cryptocurrency payments were sent to media outlets after Nancy vanished, Butcher has questioned whether the demands were real.

She explained: “My second thought was that after time, when there was no valid ransom demand or any information forthcoming that it’s probably likely that Mrs. Guthrie died of shock, fright, heart disease, whatever it was, very soon after being taken from her home.”

The former death investigator for New York City’s chief medical examiner further said at CrimeCon in Las Vegas: “And that’s just horrifying to me… and so now this kidnapper had nothing and probably, unfortunately, took her body into the desert and buried her there.”

A criminal defense attorney also shared the alleged kidnapper's notes in an interview with Hello!.

RJ Dreiling, a former prosecutor, suggested that these notes could have been a tactic to “throw off investigators.”

He added: “This is someone intelligent enough to completely hide their tracks, including DNA, fingerprints, and electronic data, but also deranged enough to kidnap this woman out of her home and hold her hostage.”

While it is believed that Nancy was taken from her Catalina Foothills, AZ, home in the early hours of the morning, no arrests have been made.

Authorities release statement on Nancy Guthrie case

Back in May, the sheriff’s department released a statement, reiterating its commitment to the missing person case.

A spokesperson stated: “The Pima County Sheriff's Department remains fully committed to the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.

“This is an active and ongoing investigation, and we continue to work closely with our partners at the FBI,” noting that forensic efforts are a key focus.

“DNA and video analysis are underway, supported by laboratories across the country.

"Advances in technology are aiding investigative efforts, and tips continue to be received and reviewed.”

They asked for those with information to come forward, asking that they contact 88-CRIME or the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Speaking to KOLD on Monday (June 1), Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos was asked if he believes the case is cold, to which he said: “No, absolutely not.

“There’s way too much work that is ongoing with some of the physical evidence we have and we’re not going to give up on it just because it’s been 100 days,

“We continue to work with our labs – whether it’s on the digital end or the biological end, DNA – and we continue to do that.

“We continue to work with the FBI... and several labs across the country to get some resolution on this case.”

He stated that they are "committed" to resolving the mystery and to finding Nancy.

According to Page Six, actor Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh Sperry, have not been invited to the nuptials despite previously being considered close friends of the couple.

No official reason for the reported snub has been given. However, the development comes months after it was rumored that there may have been some distance growing between the two couples.

The last time the 'Shake it Off' songstress, Teller, and Sperry were publicly seen together was in February 2024, when they celebrated alongside one another in a VIP suite during the Super Bowl as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers.

While Sperry still follows Swift on Instagram, fans have noticed she no longer regularly likes the singer's posts.

Since April 2024, the actress has only interacted with two major announcements from Swift: her engagement to Kelce in August 2025 and her announcement that she had regained ownership of her master recordings in May 2025.

Teller's comments fueled speculation

Questions about the couple's friendship intensified last November when Teller, who recently starred as John Branca in the Michael Jackson biopic, was asked whether he and Sperry would be attending Swift and Kelce's wedding.

"I don't know. That is gonna be - I imagine - one impressive wedding," he said. "But yeah, just very happy for them. I've known Trav for a while, too, and I think they're having a blast. That's the point."

The comments drew attention because Sperry previously appeared in Swift's 2021 music video for 'I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version),' making the pair's reported absence from the guest list particularly surprising.

Just days after those comments, Teller joined Travis and his brother Jason Kelce on their podcast, New Heights.

Swift and Kelce have been planning their big day

The couple, both 36, announced their engagement in August 2025 after two years together.

Earlier this year, sources told US Weekly that the pair had been considering a summer ceremony in Rhode Island, where the 'Cruel Summer' singer owns an $18 million mansion.

"They're both involved and making decisions together," one source said, adding that they are "focused on actually enjoying the process rather than getting caught up in the pressure" of organizing the wedding. "They're keeping things light."

A second insider claimed events could be split between Swift's mansion and the nearby Ocean House resort.

"The guest list grew, so the ceremony and private gatherings associated with the wedding [will be split between the venues]," the source said. "Taylor always has a plan B and C for every scenario."

The same insider added: "They've gone back and forth between inviting everyone and keeping it small and private. As of now, they've scaled it down. It's no longer going to be a massive blowout."

The wedding timeline has reportedly been planned around Kelce's NFL schedule as he prepares for training camp ahead of the upcoming season.

Other famous names reportedly missing out

Teller and Sperry are not the only former members of Swift's inner circle who have reportedly been left off the guest list.

Page Six previously reported that Blake Lively was unlikely to receive an invitation after Swift became involved in the actress's legal dispute with Justin Baldoni.

Reports have also suggested that model Karlie Kloss did not make the final guest list.

Travellers seem to have a lot of opinions about airplanes and how you should conduct yourself.

From when you should be reclining your seat (if at all), to whether you can ask people to swap seats onboard, everyone seems to have their own opinion.

But the Ant-Man star has shared some plane etiquette which he believes is "nonsense," during a recent podcast guest appearance.

Speaking on Friday's (May 28) episode of Jake Shane's podcast Therapuss, the 57-year-old chipped in with his own thoughts on common airline rules.

He started to explain that he didn't agree with the instructions for passengers from takeoff to landing, which include putting tray tables away, moving seats to the upright position and most importantly, switching on airplane mode on your devices.

Paul Rudd doesn't understand airplane mode

While you may believe that leaving airplane mode may increase the likelihood of a crash, the reality isn't as serious.

Regardless though, Rudd said of all the airplane rules: “I think all of that is nonsense.”

When asked by the host about airplane mode in particular, the experienced actor said "it's nonsense" once again.

Shane replied: “I only put it on airplane mode because it’s not going to work either way, so I might as well save the battery.”

It's a good point that Rudd agreed with, but he said that the rule comes from concerns with the phone's radio frequencies interfering with the plane's communications systems.

What do the authorities say?

Rudd may not agree with the rule, but the Federal Aviation Administration has remained firm on the matter.

They require passengers to put devices in airplane mode or disable cellular connections while in the air.

Aviation experts have also explained that this setting means that cellular signals will not interfere with cockpit communications and pilots’ headsets, as reported by Fox News Digital.

It turns out that these rules have safety explanations behind them. Credit: Andrew Merry / Getty

What else did Rudd comment on?

The conversation moved on to a huge travel debate, which centers around whether passengers should stand up as soon as the plane lands.

Host Shane said he is one of the culprits of this, but it seems like Rudd might be too, as he stated: "I think it’s alright.”

Fox News Digital has previously stated that this behavior isn't as widely agreed upon among passengers, as some say they may want to get rid of cramps or make tight connections.

However, others believe it to be impatient behavior or see it as being inconsiderate to other passengers.

Diane Gottsman, a national etiquette expert in Texas, told the publication: “For safety reasons, it’s best to remain seated unless there is room to comfortably move about,

“Moving into the aisle and trying to push is a definite etiquette faux pas.”

Fans of Euphoria were left completely stunned after the HBO drama delivered a devastating ending by killing off its central character in the show's final episode.

The season three finale sees Rue Bennett, played by Zendaya, die from an accidental overdose after taking Percocet pills supplied by Alamo that were unknowingly laced with fentanyl.

During the overdose sequence, viewers watch Rue experience an emotional dream-like reunion with Fezco, featuring previously unseen footage of Angus Cloud, who died in 2023 at the age of 25 following an accidental overdose.

Show's creator reflects on finale that has divided fans

The ending hit particularly hard for fans, given Rue's long-running battle with addiction throughout the series.

Speaking during HBO's post-show segment, creator Sam Levinson explained why he believed Rue's tragic fate was the right conclusion for her story.

"It felt like an honest ending," Levinson said. "The honest ending is people like Rue don't make it."

He added that the finale was designed to explore both addiction and loss. "I think in the end, I wanted to tell an honest story about addiction," he continued. "I also wanted to tell a story about grief and the emotional turmoil that it can create."

Levinson also revealed that Angus Cloud's memory played a significant role in shaping the finale. Reflecting emotionally on both the late actor and his own experiences with substance abuse, he claimed: "I wanted to tell the story for Angus and for people who weren't granted a second chance."

Meanwhile, Hunter Schafer, who portrayed Rue's on-again, off-again love interest Jules, paid tribute to Zendaya while discussing their time on the series together.

Schafer described the actress as her "soul mate" and said she felt incredibly fortunate to have had Zendaya as her first scene partner on the hit show.

Shortly after the finale aired, Levinson confirmed that season three would mark the end of Euphoria. HBO later announced there would be no fourth season, officially bringing the critically acclaimed drama to a close.

Fans have their say

Unsurprisingly, as they have done all season, fans of the show were quick to offer their judgment of Euphoria's conclusion, with it ultimately proving divisive amongst viewers.

One X user voiced their discontent, writing: "There was so many ways they could’ve ended euphoria and they chose the absolute worst one."

While another wrote: "Seeing people’s euphoria takes just makes it so abundantly clear that no one has critical thinking skills anymore lol"

Despite the subsequent division it has caused, for many viewers, Rue's heartbreaking death and the consequent tribute to Angus Cloud made for an emotional and unforgettable farewell to one of television's most talked-about series in recent memory.

This comes after initial performers at the 'Freedom 250' concert started to drop out, following backlash from the public.

The President went on a rant, claiming that he could "take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate 'Artists,' and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!"

This is just the tip of the iceberg, as the 79-year-old said that he might replace the concert with a wide-scale MAGA rally, attacking the 'boring,' 'overpriced', performers who were supposed to be part of Freedom 250.

The move comes after news broke of Trump's plans to get his own face on a new $250 note.

Now, the 47th US President has kept himself in the news by furiously comparing it to the drama he is facing with the Kennedy Center.

Donald Trump's rant about Freedom 250

Taking to Truth Social, Trump wrote: "We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain.

"Cancel it, just like I canceled my involvement with the failing and unsafe to be in Kennedy Center, because a Highly Conflicted, Crooked Federal Judge, said that I should not be allowed to spend my time and money in order to MAKE THE CENTER GREAT AGAIN, actually, far greater than it ever was before!"

He claimed that it would have been "nice to see a Republican/Democrat union bring it back to life," claiming that the Kennedy Centre is "broken" and "unsafe."

Trump denounced the fact that he couldn't add his name to the Board of the Center, "despite the fact that hundreds of millions of dollars of my time and money will be necessary for its successful reincarnation."

He then called for the judge responsible, Judge Cooper, to be "impeached," which would join the long list of "numerous other Crooked Judges on my cases."

Performers have started to abandon Trump's event due to political backlash and security concerns, and it looks like there may be no event at all.

The likes of Vanilla Ice, Milli Vanilli, and Flo Rida are still set to perform over the days-long celebration.

Trump compares himself to Elvis Presley

No, seriously.

Speaking on Saturday (May 29), Trump called himself the "GOAT," which stands for the "greatest of all time," claiming that he could take over the birthday event.

He described himself as the "Number One Attraction anywhere in the World," and then bizarrely compared himself to Elvis Presley.

He even claimed that unlike the late King of Rock and Roll, he did not need a guitar - he just needed a microphone and a good speech, claiming this would draw in "much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime."

He has told supporters to expect a speech at the rally too, explaining: "I am ordering my Representatives to look at the feasibility of doing an AMERICA IS BACK Rally,

"Same time, same location. Only Great Patriots invited – It will be a Wild and Beautiful Celebration of America!"

Trump added: "Two years ago, the United States was DEAD. Now we have the 'HOTTEST' Country anywhere in the World,

"I don't want so-called 'Artists' that get paid far too much money, who aren't happy. I only want to be surrounded by Happy People, Smart People, Successful People, and People that know how to WIN."

If that's what makes you happy, Donald.

According to Vogue, the British couple confirmed their engagement on social media back in the summer of 2025, and quietly celebrated their marriage in an intimate ceremony with close family and friends last weekend.

However, the pair are now looking forward to a bigger celebration with a much larger guest list, set to take place in Sicily, Italy.

The singer and actor are reportedly splashing out on a celebration set to take place in Palermo and Bagheria, with a three-day event expected to last from June 5 to 7.

Sicily has become a popular location for celebrities to host parties and weddings, due to its coastline location and old-world feel, so it's no surprise that Lipa and Turner have picked it out.

It's been revealed by AD that the couple will be hosting guests at Villa Igiea as one of the wedding's key locations, with the legendary five-star hotel in Palermo ready to host the star-studded event.

Rumored names on the guest list

It is rumored that the likes of Charli XCX, Mark Ronson, Donatella Versace and Simon Porte Jacquemus will help to make up the guest list for the Palermo and Sicily-based celebration.

There will also be several other A-list names from the world of entertainment, as it is expected that a certain music legend will take on the mantle of best man.

This is rumored to be none other than Elton John, whose long-term friendship and professional relationship with Lipa could put him in pole position to assume the important wedding role.

This has not been confirmed yet, but John is also set to be joined on the guest list with some key figures in Italian fashion, likely to make an appearance.

Both Versace and Jacquemus are said to be involved in designing Lipa's wedding wardrobe, while renowned Italian wedding planner Alessandra Grillo is expected to pull all the strings across the celebration.

Why did they pick Italy?

Apart from the heightened likelihood of sun compared to the UK, the region they have chosen features a chic 18th-century mansion, with one in Sicily known as the “Casina alla Bagaria”.

It was commissioned by Anna Gravina, Princess of Gravina and Valguarnera, having been designed by famous architect Tommaso Maria Napoli.

The house is considered one of the finest examples of Sicilian Baroque architecture, with the villa known for its open spaces, sea-facing gardens, and sheer size.

This venue is expected to host a chunk of the wedding celebrations, with plans involving local authorities and the City of Palermo so security is prepared for the event.

The singer, 56, shares 18-year-old twins Max and Emme with her former husband Marc Anthony, 57.

However, eagle-eyed fans spotted that Emme now appears to go by another name after their graduation.

According to Page Six, the new name was revealed in a post share in March by an Instagram account that shares the college decisions of graduating Windward seniors.

In one post, a childhood photo of the now-18-year-old was shared alongside the name Oskar Muñiz, with the caption also tagging an account believed to belong to Jennifer's child.

The post added that Oskar will be heading to Sarah Lawrence College to study theater and studio arts.

The caption read: "Oskar to Sarah Lawrence! No more impromptu NYC trips because he’ll be living there! Good thing it’s only a few hours away from Stagedoor. Go gryphons!! Congrats!!!”

While the post appears to have since been removed, screenshots show it was 'liked' by Jennifer Garner, who was previously married to Jennifer Lopez's ex-husband Ben Affleck.

JLo has not publicly addressed the name change and her representatives have yet to comment.

Earlier in the week, JLo attended Oskar's graduation ceremony along with her mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, and Ben Affleck’s son, Samuel.

Jennifer became emotional when asked about her kids' graduation during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, when she told the host: "Don’t talk about it because [I] start crying,” admitting she had been "crying for two months" at the prospect of her twins leaving home for college.

She also confirmed that her two children will be going to different colleges, which she says she is "fine" with as she wants "them to be happy and go where they want to go and do what they want to do."

News of the apparent name change comes after Jennifer was praised for her use of certain pronouns when referring to her child in the past.

Jennifer made headlines back in 2022 during the Blue Diamond Gala at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, when she introduced Oskar on stage using they/them pronouns — a moment that quickly went viral.

"The last time we performed together was in a big stadium like this and I ask them to sing with me all the time, and they won’t,” Jennifer said at the time as Oskar joined her onstage. “So, this is a very special occasion."

She continued with a playful nod to Oskar's schedule: "They are very, very busy, booked and pricey. They cost me when they come out. But they’re worth every single penny because they’re my favourite duet partner of all time. So, if you will indulge me.”

The touching moment was widely shared and applauded online. One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “JLo, you are a wonderful mother and you both sang beautifully.”

Another chimed in: “'They' is how Emme identifies. This was JLo sharing that information, it's beautiful to see her supporting her child.”

“Awww JLo respecting the pronouns,” a third added, with another saying: “Aw I love her support.”

Fans of the Kardashians are well-versed with Tristan's cheating saga, after the pair got together in 2016 while Tristan's ex, Jordan Craig, was pregnant with his baby, Prince.

Tristan and Khloe welcomed their first child, True, in April 2018, but the happy moment was mired in controversy after Tristan was found to have cheated during the pregnancy.

Video footage later emerged of Tristan kissing two women in a nightclub and was also alleged to have kissed Jordyn Woods, the then-best friend of Khloe's youngest sister, Kylie Jenner, leading to their split in February 2019.

Khloe and Tristan ended up quarantining together during the Covid-19 pandemic so that they could both be around for True, and ended up rekindling their relationship in August 2020, getting engaged in February 2021, and finally splitting for good in December 2021.

In July 2022, the pair announced they were having their second baby together via surrogate, welcoming their son, Tatum that same month.

Tristan is also father to a son, Theo, who was born in December 2021 to Maralee Nichols, who'd become pregnant while Tristan was dating Khloe.

In a new episode of her podcast, Khloe In Wonderland, she sat down with her ex and revealed he'd finally undergone a vasectomy after having four kids by three different women.

The NBA player said: "I already have enough baby mamas, I don’t want no more," to which she responded: “And who helped you fix that decision? That was me. Tristan may have had a little ultimatum from me."

Tristan then replied: "What? Getting neutered? Yeah. Sometimes you got to lay them nuts on the table."

The 35-year-old confirmed it was Khloe, 41, that pushed him toward the decision, as she added: "Sometimes you have to get forced into the right decision."

However, the prospect of Tristan having more children in the future isn't totally off the table, as Khloe revealed they'd frozen some embryos and sperm to safeguard for the future.

He added: "I think I signed off for two embryos. So, I mean, if I do have more kids, it'd be coming from you."

Khloe then confirmed: "You did save sperm in case you wanted to do that. Because I said, ‘What if you get married and your wife doesn't have kids and you want to do that?’

"So, we did that. But you could also reverse [the vasectomy]."

As for dating in the future, Tristan revealed that he has strict rules over whether he would introduce a partner to his four children.

He explained: "It’s a hard no. I'll just say like I don't think it's wise for parents to introduce a boyfriend or a girlfriend to their kids unless you're going to get married to them.

"Because I'm not going to confuse my kids where if something doesn’t work, then this person is gone and then you have to like kind of like recalibrate everyone's brain."

Tristan added: "The reality is I don't think our kids would ever approve of it. True is very protective of me, and Tatum is - our kids are very protective of each other."

The Queen of Pop, 67, is no stranger to dating some of the most eligible men in Hollywood, including Sean Penn, Tupac Shakur, and Guy Ritchie.

When she was recently asked who came out on top (no pun intended) of the people she'd previously been with, Madonna had one clear answer - at least out of all of her exes that are no longer alive.

During promo for her new album, Confessions On A Dance Floor II, working with the gay dating app Grindr, Madonna made a video with playwright Jeremy O. Harris, Bob The Drag Queen, dancer Ivy Mugler, designer Raul Lopez and ID’s Marcello Gutierrez.

According to Page Six, which viewed the video before release, Lopez asked Madonna: "Who was your best d**k down?"

Madonna then responded: "I’m only going to name dead people," before covering her mouth and whispering: "John Kennedy Jr."

Of course, her naming John F. Kennedy Jr. led to uproar in the room, as Lopez joked: "Everyone says his d**k was crazy and he was a good f**k."

Madonna then confirmed: "Mmm hmm," to which Lopez added: "You’re the third person I’ve heard say that."

JFK Jr and Madonna dated briefly in the late 1980s, with the 2024 book JFK Jr.: An Intimate Oral Biography by RoseMarie Terenzio and Liz McNeil, claiming: "Madonna was totally a fling. Nothing more. Barely a fling at that."

The book alleges that the pair met while Madonna was married to Sean Penn and JFK Jr. was dating actress Christina Haag, and claims Madonna was the one to initiate the flirtation, adding: "and it was flattery — she was at the top of her game."

The source claimed: "[It was] all about physical attraction, it wasn’t going to be anything beyond that."

Kennedy Jr. is also said to have remarked that the 'Papa Don't Preach' singer had "one of the most beautiful bodies he had ever seen."

While Madonna says JFK Jr. was the best sex she ever had, the insider alleged in the book that the pair had never actually had intercourse.

They claimed: "They didn’t have the protection measures and she was very on top of HIV prevention," but instead had "fun in other ways".

The book also claims that several years later, when Penn appeared on the December 1998 cover of JFK Jr.’s George magazine, the two men had dinner together and Kennedy told Penn "he never knew Madonna in the biblical sense."

The full video is set to be available on Grindr’s in-app media hub Grindr Presents, as well as YouTube and Instagram.

According to The Sun, armed police officers raided an apartment in Budapest, Hungary, where a 27-year-old man was arrested during a dramatic operation carried out on May 6. Footage of the raid reportedly showed officers in riot gear storming the property before apprehending the suspect.

Authorities allege the man obtained Depp’s American Express card details and used them across nearly two years, with transactions said to have taken place between January 2024 and December 2025. Investigators are now examining 308 separate transactions worth more than £536,000 ($720,000) while trying to establish exactly how the actor’s information was leaked.

Police traced suspicious transactions to Budapest apartment

Authorities confirmed the suspect allegedly stole credit card details from online purchases and accommodation bookings made through internet platforms. Investigators reportedly traced unusual activity linked to a high-profile US bank client back to a rented flat in Budapest.

The investigation reportedly began earlier this year after a US bank flagged illegal withdrawals to the Hungarian branch of the FBI. Police later tracked the activity through multiple investigative methods before locating the residential property connected to the alleged fraud.

The suspect has denied the accusations, though a court has reportedly ordered his pre-trial detention while the investigation continues.

Depp recently returned to filmmaking projects

Depp previously spent time in Budapest while filming Modì, Three Days on the Wing of Madness, a biopic based on the life of artist Amedeo Modigliani. The actor directed the 2024 film, which starred Al Pacino and Stephen Graham.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star is also set to appear alongside Daisy Ridley and Sam Claflin in Ti West’s upcoming Christmas film, Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol. The project is expected to mark Depp’s first US production since 2020’s Minamata.

That same year, Depp lost a libel case against The Sun after the publication claimed he had abused his ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp unsuccessfully appealed the ruling and later said he had been asked to resign from the Fantastic Beasts franchise. In 2022, Depp won a US libel case against Heard.

Fraud investigation remains ongoing

Investigators are continuing to examine the alleged transactions while working to determine how Depp’s card details were accessed.

The reported case has attracted attention both because of the scale of the alleged fraud and Depp’s connection to Budapest through recent film work.

Newly revealed text messages between Mackenzie Shirilla and her late boyfriend Dominic Russo have shed light on the turbulent relationship leading up to the deadly 100mph crash that killed him and their friend, Davion Flanagan.

The messages, obtained by PEOPLE from the Strongsville Police Department, span from January 2020 to July 30, 2022, just one day before Shirilla slammed her Toyota Camry into a brick wall at around 100mph, killing Russo and Flanagan instantly.

Shirilla, who survived the crash, was later convicted of murdering both teenagers and is currently serving two concurrent sentences of 15 years to life in prison.

The couple had dated for four years after first getting together while Shirilla was still in high school. Although they often appeared inseparable online, the texts reveal a relationship filled with explosive arguments, accusations, emotional threats, and claims of reckless behavior.

Tumultuous relationship between the pair

In one heated exchange from January 2020, Shirilla became furious after Russo told her he couldn’t give her a ride.

“I’m so f**king mad,” she texted him.

Moments later, she added: “I’m gonna kill someone.”

The argument escalated further later that day when Shirilla accused Russo of making her feel “worthless.”

“I F**KING HATE MYSELF IM UGLY AND YOU J[UST] ADD ON TO IT,” she wrote. “YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE IM WORTHLESS.”

At another point during the same exchange, Shirilla messaged: “I j[ust] want to bang my head on the wall till I’m dead.”

The texts also show repeated threats of breakups throughout their relationship, with both accusing the other of toxic behavior.

In September 2021, Shirilla admitted: “Like I did break up with you but then you bought me a purse and yes it did fix the problems for a couple days but they just came back worse.”

Russo later complained: “U cant go a day without threatening to breakup w me.”

One particularly disturbing exchange from August 2021 included Russo accusing Shirilla of threatening him with violence.

“Thts my bad but u did threaten to stab me in the eye,” he wrote.

“Yeah idc,” Shirilla replied.

Russo repeated the allegation moments later, writing: “U threatened to stab me in yhe eye.”

Elsewhere in the messages, Russo claimed Shirilla physically attacked him during an argument just months before the murder.

“[You] didnt let me out the car and then hit me and pulled the s**t out of my hair then tried to throw a rock at me,” he alleged.

Shirilla admitted throwing the rock “your way,” claiming she had been upset because he was filming her.

The texts also appear to show concerns about Shirilla’s driving months before the fatal crash.

“And kenzie u drive like a maniac everyday,” Russo wrote.

During another argument, he accused her of “speeding whipping turns like a maniac.”

Shirilla herself once accused Russo of “driving like a psychopath.”

The couple also exchanged allegations of manipulation, cheating, and blackmail.

“You are a straight liar a pathological manipulator,” Shirilla told him during one argument.

Russo responded elsewhere by accusing her of emotional threats and extreme behavior, telling her: “If im being totally honest its your temper thats the main problem.”

Shirilla acknowledged her struggles in one message, writing: “Obviously I have anger issues I’ve been working on my whole entire life.”

Just weeks before the deadly crash, the relationship appeared to be collapsing entirely.

On July 2, 2022, Russo attempted to end things with Shirilla.

“Kenzie u said mean things to me and i felt unappreciated and mad,” he wrote.

But the arguments continued escalating.

The disturbing texts weeks before the murder

In another chilling exchange from July 17, less than two weeks before the crash, Shirilla accused Russo of trying to kill her during an argument on the highway.

“The fact that my boyfriend of four years just tried to end my life by steering me off of the highway,” she wrote.

Russo denied the accusation repeatedly, replying: “Kenzie i didnt.”

The texts became increasingly hostile in the days leading up to the fatal collision.

On July 21, just days before the crash, Shirilla threatened to damage Russo’s belongings after he refused to let her into his house.

“I’m only going to break s**t if you don’t let me in,” she wrote.

The next week, Russo and Flanagan were dead.

Authorities later argued the crash was intentional, with prosecutors pointing to surveillance footage and evidence showing that Shirilla never hit the brakes before crashing into the wall.

At sentencing, Judge Nancy Margaret Russo described Shirilla’s actions as “controlled, methodical, deliberate, intentional, and purposeful.”

The case has since become the subject of Netflix documentary The Crash, which premiered on May 15 and includes Shirilla’s first video interview since her conviction.

The reality TV star previously opened up about this during an episode of the family’s reality series while discussing her fertility journey with her 50-year-old husband before the couple welcomed son Rocky in 2023.

At the time, the 47-year-old explained that she and the Blink-182 drummer had been working with an Ayurvedic practitioner and taking part in a Panchakarma cleanse, an alternative therapy that can involve enemas, steam baths, and induced vomiting.

According to Metro, Kourtney said: "[Said practitioner] told me that the thing that would help it was drinking [Travis’s sperm] like four times a week." Barker responded at the time: "I love this doctor."

Fertility experts say there is 'no medical reason' for the claim

Medical professionals weighed in after the comment surfaced online, pushing back hard against the suggestion that drinking semen could improve fertility chances.

Dr James Hopkisson, Medical Director at TFP Fertility Group, told the publication: "In the last 30 years of working in fertility and gynecology, I have read no mainstream research that has advocated the drinking of sperm to be useful in helping with pregnancy."

Experts say the reason is simple: the reproductive and digestive systems are separate. This means swallowing semen has no impact on conception.

While Ayurvedic medicine focuses on wider wellbeing through nutrition, self-care, and mental health practices, reports found no evidence supporting semen-drinking as a fertility treatment.

Dr. Lucky Sekhon, a New York-based, board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, and infertility specialist, also said: "I think it's a ridiculous thing for her to be putting out there…and I think it doesn't make any sense, especially recommending a frequency of four times per week is absolutely ridiculous and not based on anything," per Business Insider.

Sekhon believes the theory may derive from confusion surrounding the immune system.

Sperm contain antigens that can trigger immune responses, and some theories suggest that immune reactions to sperm cells could play a role in pregnancy loss.

However, Sekhon emphasized that there is little research on the topic and no guarantee that introducing sperm to gut bacteria would affect fertility outcomes.

In addition to this, both Sekhon and Dr. Anu Kathiresan, a Los Angeles-based board-certified fertility specialist, stressed that no studies show that drinking semen increases the likelihood of pregnancy.

"It's so completely off base and just not based on any sort of science or true medical recommendation," Sekhon added.

Doctors warn that fertility misinformation can be harmful

Medics have warned that celebrity fertility claims can have unintended consequences for people already struggling to conceive.

Sekhon said that while drinking semen is generally harmless, there are still possible risks, including allergic reactions or the transmission of disease.

Dr Hopkisson added that there are far more evidence-based ways for couples to improve fertility chances before trying for a baby.

"The use of supplements prior to conceiving are important," he said. "All women should be on Folic acid and Vitamin D to minimise the risks of spina bifida and rickets.

"With regard to male factors, lifestyle changes such as stopping smoking, losing weight, and cutting alcohol and coffee are worthwhile," he added.

Kourtney and Travis later welcomed son Rocky

Despite the controversy surrounding the advice, Kardashian and Barker eventually welcomed their son Rocky in 2023.

The couple has since shared pictures of their family life, including recent photos on Instagram showing the toddler enjoying dinner outings and beach trips.

Kardashian, who also shares Mason Disick, 16, Penelope Disick, 13, and Reign Disick, 11, with ex Scott Disick, previously described becoming a parent again after everything she and her husband went through trying to conceive.

"It's everything I've ever dreamed of," she said during a June 2024 episode of The Kardashians, cited by E! News. "Everything we've been through to get to this moment, it just feels so surreal."

Barker, who is also dad to Atiana De La Hoya, 26, Landon Barker, 22, and Alabama Barker, 20, with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, has also been vocal about embracing fatherhood again.

"I loved it when I did it the first time, and I love it now," he told Entertainment Tonight in February 2025. "He’s the coolest little boy. He sleeps all night - 10-hour blocks of sleep at night - and he’s up all day playing drums and guitar. I couldn’t be happier."

The actor, 52, recalled the scary moment where her doctor told her she may have a brain aneurysm while she was filming her latest movie, The Black Ball (La Bola Negra).

Speaking at Cannes Film Festival on Friday, May 23, after the film received a 16-minute standing ovation during its Cannes premiere at the Grand Théâtre Lumière, Penelope revealed her health scare.

The incident apparently unfolded as she prepared to film a late-night performance in which she plays a cabaret entertainer performing for soldiers.

She explained, per Variety: "And then when we’re about to go out, I was putting on my wig, and they said, ‘Oh, apparently you have some brain aneurysm.'

"I thought I was about to die. This is something that was totally surreal in my life."

Thankfully, she was cleared by doctors the next day and was able to continue with the singing and dancing scenes.

Penelope described the moment as transformative, adding: "I thought, ‘It’s a total miracle. I have to, I must have this in me.'"

She also praised the production team for their support during the ordeal, adding: "You experience these things together, yet despite all this, despite the hardship, you can move forward in life."

As well as Penelope, The Black Ball has an ensemble cast featuring Glenn Close, Guitarricadelafuente, Miguel Bernardeau, Lola Dueñas and Carlos González.

It is currently in contention for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

The daughter of the controversial King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has opened up about how her addiction sent her moral compass “right out the window”.

Paris Jackson admitted on Jack Osbourne's Trying Not to Die podcast that how she behaved whilst addicted to drugs and alcohol was “really ugly”.

Paris spoke brutally honestly about her behaviour in the depths of addiction

She opened up to the podcast host with ease, potentially because the pair have a lot in common, as they are both the children of world-famous musicians and struggled with addiction from a young age.

The 28-year-old model and actress explained to Osbourne: "It's really ugly behavior in a moral way, because I was raised to be kind — not nice, I could give a s**t about being nice — but kind.

“Being kind and looking people in the eye and asking the waiter their name so you can write it down on the receipt later, just little things of, just like, how do you treat people?"

Recalling how she behaved and felt about it during her most difficult years, Jackson said: "Oh, I may be a liar, a cheater, a piece of s**t, a thief, whatever, but I do have a moral compass, like, I was raised right in that way.

"What happens when I drink is that goes away. That goes right out the window and I become a very vindictive person."

Jackson first underwent treatment for addiction at the age of 17 after noticing "a lot of tell-tale signs" that her peers at high school were not experiencing.

Tragically, she revealed: "I struggled with self-harm for a really long time before I ever had my first drink or drug,” and: "I had weird relationships with overeating and food as a young kid."

Describing the potentially ugliest side of her character brought out by addiction, she said: "There was this overall reachy, graspy energy that I only ever see in other addicts," it was like “reaching for something outside of yourself."

The singer-songwriter now shares her sober lifestyle online

Since January, Jackson has been sharing a glimpse into her sober lifestyle and how she has learnt to "live life on life's terms" on social media by uploading clips from her day-to-day life.

Her content shows her spending time in nature with friends and relaxing alone.

However, in the caption of one of her Instagram posts, she warned her followers that "getting sober ain't always the indication that life is perfect.

Opening up about how she struggled at the beginning of her sobriety journey, she said, "A few years in it all got very very hard. for what felt like an eternity. and i didn't have the same survival skills i was used to having to cope. i had to learn to live life on life's terms."

Australian bridesmaid Georgie Ball, 28, was making her entrance to the reception of her best friend Ellie’s wedding in Mudgee when she accidentally exposed herself while performing her party trick, the worm.

The footage shows the physiotherapist from Newcastle performing a coordinated dance routine with her groomsman partner, who also happens to be her own brother, when suddenly the entire back seam of her floor-length dress splits open.

Within seconds, her entire buttocks are exposed, and as she goes to stand up and presumably attempt to cover herself, the heel of her shoe also snaps and flies off her feet.

Ball, who handled the situation as humorously and elegantly as possible, admitted that she is not someone to shy away from the spotlight and decided to stick to the rehearsed routine.

The dress was a disaster from the start

The malfunction was not a planned part of the well-rehearsed routine, and actually began much earlier in the day. According to Ball, the dress was predisposed to disaster hours before the reception entrance.

Ball told news.com.au that she felt the seam rip when she was practising the routine before the entrance, but her fellow bridesmaids assured her it was only a small tear and “no different to the other girls”.

Explaining how she adapted the routine as a precaution, Ball said: “I told my brother I couldn’t do the cartwheel because it would break the dress, but I’d do the worm instead.”

However, the cartwheel might have been more tactical than the backwards worm she lands as the beat drops because the move exposed her bare bottom to the entire crowd, the front row of which were mainly older family members.

The bridesmaid is not embarrassed about the moment

Despite the crowd erupting into laughter and the video subsequently going viral, Ball has taken the memorable moment in her stride and revelled in the many comments praising her physique.

She said: “I’ve been working out for eight or nine years flat chat, so I’ll cop the compliments about my bum.

“It’s one of my greatest assets, second to my big, beautiful brain.”

Ball also added that while she finds the footage hilarious, commenters who claimed they could see more than just her butt were incorrect, as she was wearing underwear, it was just a nude-coloured G-string.

She joked: “There were no vagina flashing, just cheeks.

“I’m a physio, I see a lot of bodies, so I don’t really mind – everyone is the same,” she added.

Planning her next bridesmaid gig, at her brother’s wedding in October, Ball said she’s plotting something even bigger.

“I might do a front flip … but I probably won’t have a back seam on that dress,” she said, thinking tactically.

The comedian, 64, opened up about the choice in a poem titled 'Decisions', which she posted to her Substack, revealing she'd gone under the knife in January after finding her skin changed after losing 50lbs.

Despite previously being staunchly against cosmetic surgery, Rosie admitted she found her mind changing when she began to notice the effects of "gravity" on her face.

She wrote: "I used to feel very strongly about facelifts. Not casually - morally. I had assigned myself as head of all women who would never - ever."

Rosie added: "I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide. And then I lost 50 pounds…

"It wasn’t wrinkles - it was gravity. I’d look in the mirror and think, this isn’t aging, this is melting with intention."

She revealed that she tried to look at it as being "earned" aging, but admitted she thought: "'umm how earned does it have to look?'"

The comic had to confront the decision after her 13-year-old child Clay discovered that she was looking into getting the procedure, revealing that Clay told her: "'You earned your wrinkles.' Which - first of all - rude. But also… correct."

She added: "Then Clay said, 'Young women look up to you,' and finally - with strong effect - 'I wouldn’t be able to respect you if you did it.' And that one… landed.

"That’s a big statement from someone who still needs you to open jars. And what was wild is - she sounded exactly like me. Like my younger, more certain, more morally rigid self had somehow moved into my house and was now judging my face."

She admitted the exchange "really threw" her, and led her to delay the surgery for "months" while she mulled it over.

Rosie recalled: "And then I had this quiet realization: if I’m teaching Clay anything, it can’t be that my body belongs to an idea either. Even a good idea. Even feminism.

"Because that’s still not freedom - that’s just a different authority telling you what you’re allowed to do with your own face."

She added: "I want them to grow up in a world where they don't feel like they have to change but also knows they can, if they want to, without losing moral standing in their own life."

Rosie revealed that she underwent the surgery in January with a doctor who'd operated on friends of hers "who all still looked like themselves, just like they had recently been told good news."

She says that before undergoing anesthetic, she told the doctor that she would never complain that he should have "done more" during the surgery as she just wanted a small tweak rather than a dramatic overhaul of her face.

She explained: "I wanted a limit. I wanted to still be me, just… less haunted. And I do look like me - A slightly more well-rested emotionally stable version of me."

Rosie then admitted the outcome was indeed very subtle, explaining: "And here’s the thing - no one has noticed. Not one person. Not a friend, not a stranger, not even people who owe me compliments.

"My teen daughter, has not said a word. Nothing. I went through a full existential feminist crisis, had my face and neck surgically altered, and the result is… zippo .Which honestly is the best possible outcome."

She revealed that having the surgery did not make her "disappear" or "become someone else", but it helped her "stop arguing with the mirror".

Rosie acknowledged that she doesn't "owe anyone an explanation" for deciding to get the lower deep plane facelift, but it reminded her of the struggle of having a "sense of deceit", which has happened in different situations in the past.

She recalled telling the executives at Warner Brothers that she was a gay woman before starting her show so that they knew all the facts before investing money into her, in a time before Ellen DeGeneres was out and there were no sitcoms about openly gay characters.

Rosie admitted: "I have never liked secrets and part of my desire to show myself is to come clean. But who do I owe that truth to? Is it mine to keep?

"As I move on in my 60s with a rejuvenated lower face as if it happened naturally. It didn’t. It cost more money than I have ever paid for a car - my privileged place in this world, and that feels almost shameful to me."

Comedian Chelsea Handler has revealed some of her worst dating experiences with male celebrities.

During an appearance on Kristin Cavallari’s Let’s Be Honest podcast, Handler, 51, was asked to share a “bad celebrity date story” that she has never spoken about publicly.

She claimed that after “someone hooked” her up with celebrity chef Bobby Flay, the pair began “talking on the phone [and] flirting a little bit.”

Flay then insisted on ordering room service to the hotel she was staying in “with some girlfriends”, but the gesture was not as sweet as it sounds.

Flay's gesture was not as nice as it seemed

Recalling their first awkward interaction, the former Chelsea Lately host explained: “He knew the hotel well. He wanted to order … food for us. He was like, ‘Let me order your food for you. I love that hotel.'”

Shockingly, the man who owns multiple restaurants, businesses, and hosted his own TV show ordered the food, then, according to Handler, left her with the bill.

Reminiscing about the stingy move, Handler said: “And I’m like, ‘What?'”.

When she confided in someone about the failed flirting attempt, they reportedly responded with: “‘Oh yeah. He’s really cheap.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, I hate cheap.'”

Handler then added: “If you’re penurious, I’m not interested in you. I’m generous, and I like people to be generous with their money.”

In spite of the sour taste in her mouth following the food faux pas, Handler went on a proper date with Flay, but, unsurprisingly, “it was not a match”.

Although she did not go into too much detail, she said: “It was just, like, messy.”

However, Flay was not the only male celebrity that the star spoke out about on the podcast. She also shared that she once went on a date with an A-list actor, who “was so boring”, but sadly, she did not name him.

Recalling how the date came about, she said: "We were flirting, and then I made the move.

"So I made the move, and he was receptive, and we were hanging out, and I saw him, and we went on a date, and it was unbearable. And I worked hard."

Explaining why the pair didn’t work out romantically, she said a big problem for her was that "he was so serious about himself as an actor," and spent a lot of time "talking about acting in a way I can’t take seriously."

Handler even claimed: "He didn't ask me one question about myself."

When asked about what she is looking for in a romantic partner on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast in January, she said: “If I'm gonna date a guy, they're gonna have to party.

"I wanna party. I like to get loose. And by the way, I'm 50 years old.”

Taylor Swift has done a sweet act of kindness for an eight-year-old fan after seeing her singing her song with a neighbor.

When eight-year-old Maddie, from Cleveland, heard her new neighbor, musician Ethan Hayes, playing the guitar in his yard, she decided to handwrite a letter asking for a song request.

In a TikTok shared by her mom, Natalie Hulec, Maddie had sweetly written: "Hi! I heard you playing the guitar, I'm doing my homework and I wanted to know if you can play Taylor Swift."

The little girl tossed the paper airplane over the fence and her new neighbor Ethan, 26, initially panicked as he didn't know a lot of Taylor's songs, except 'Love Story', which he often performs when he gets requests.

He told People: "I'm a musician, so I get requests all the time. That's one I always usually keep in my back pocket."

As Ethan strummed along to 'Love Story', Maddie was seen happily singing along from her window.

The sweet video has racked up over 3.7 million views on TikTok - and at least one of those was from Taylor Swift herself.

Taylor, 36, is well-known for keeping an eye on what her fans are up to online, and often sends out gifts to a chosen few.

Ethan revealed that he got a TikTok message from Taylor's team out of the blue, explaining to the outlet: "They're like, 'Hey, Taylor saw your video. We want to send you something. Don't tell anyone until it gets there.'

"I was expecting maybe a signed poster or something. And then she sent us guitars, which is insane."

After seeing the sweet video, Taylor had purchased a guitar each for Ethan and Maddie, and sent them out with a sweet handwritten note of her own.

On Maddie's, she wrote: "Dearest Madeline, I just wanted to let you know that it made me SO happy that you asked your neighbor to play my song for you.

"You brought the biggest smile to my face! I am sending you your own guitar, in case you ever want to learn too! Thanks again and sending you my love, Taylor."

Natalie revealed that the family had often enjoyed listening to Ethan practise his music next door, with her husband, Russell, even shouting "woo!" while he was playing.

Maddie, however, was too shy to approach Ethan directly, and didn't want to disturb him, so asked for printer paper so she could write him a note to send over the fence.

Ethan initially didn't see the note until Russell shouted down from the window, and then gladly fulfilled the little girl's request.

Both Ethan and the family say the response to the TikTok has been overwhelmingly positive, and it quickly exploded after they shared it online.

It's not the first time Taylor has given out generous gifts, however, as she's often sent care packages to some of her biggest supporters.

She also made headlines after tipping workers on her record-breaking Eras tour huge bonuses to thank them for their hard work in making it such a success.

One thing's for sure - Maddie will never forget this act of kindness from her favorite star, and in response, she just wants to say to Taylor: "Thank you."

The 38-year-old singer and actress shifted the spotlight from rumored feuds with Ashley Tisdale and her own sister Haylie Duff, and placed it firmly on her NSFW lyrics.

As controversy over Tisdale’s “toxic mom group” essay dominated headlines in January of this year, Duff teased fans with a provocative track, per the Daily Mail.

The song ditched her squeaky-clean image in favor of something much more risqué — and fans can’t stop talking about it.

Hilary’s X-rated lyrics spark wild fan reactions

In the track, Duff sings about a steamy bar hookup and sexual frustration, marking a radical departure from her Lizzie McGuire days.

“I want the part where you say ‘goddamn’ / back of a dive bar giving you h**d / then sneak home late, wake up your roommates,” she sings.

“I’m touching myself by the front door, but you don’t even look my way no more,” she adds.

The lyrics triggered a mix of shock and admiration from fans.

One stunned listener wrote: “Back of a dive bar giving you WHAT!!?” Another commented: “Back of a dive bar giving you h**d!! This really takes me back to my h*e days, love it.”

But not everyone is on board.

A concerned parent added: “I have four daughters and this makes me so sad. I am all for a healthy sex life but this is not cute. This is not what I want my girls boppin too. This is a problem in this world. Why do we feel the need to be like this ladies?? Save it for your husband.”

The track appeared on Duff’s new album, Luck... or Something, which she co-wrote with her husband, musician Matthew Koma.

Matthew Koma slams Tisdale after essay about ‘toxic’ mom group

With Duff breaking the internet with her new sound, her husband stirred things up on social media in his own way.

Koma, 38, didn’t hold back in his response to Tisdale’s essay, mocking the former High School Musical star with a brutal Instagram post.

Koma shared a doctored version of The Cut's essay cover photo, replacing Tisdale’s head with his own.

The fake headline read: “When You’re the Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person on Earth, Other Moms Tend to Shift Focus to Their Actual Toddlers.”

Another line below read: “A Mom Group Tell All Through A Father's Eye.”

The jab came after Tisdale’s viral essay, “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group,” in which she revealed feeling abandoned by friends during her postpartum recovery.

Though she didn’t name names, fans quickly pieced things together — especially after Tisdale unfollowed both Duff and fellow mom Mandy Moore on Instagram.

Tisdale had once gushed about her “village of moms,” a group that included Duff, Moore, and Meghan Trainor.

The women had shared vacations, baby classes, and years of playdates. But cracks started to show after Tisdale gave birth to her daughter Jupiter in 2021.

In the piece, Tisdale claimed she noticed she wasn’t invited to events, only to later see them posted online.

“It took me back to an unpleasant but familiar feeling I thought I’d left behind years ago,” she wrote.

“Here I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed thinking Maybe I’m not cool enough? All of a sudden I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing ‘wrong’ to be left out.”

She eventually texted the group: “This is too high school for me and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.”

“To be clear I have never considered the moms to be bad people (maybe one),” Tisdale added. “But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive - for me anyway.”

Haylie Duff adds fuel to family rift rumors

While Duff has stayed silent on the fallout, another twist emerged as fans noticed that her sister Haylie Duff appeared to back Tisdale’s side.

Haylie, 40, hit like on both The Cut’s Instagram post and Tisdale’s promotion of the essay — a subtle but telling move that reignited speculation of a rift between the Duff sisters.

The two siblings were once famously close, but haven’t been photographed together since 2019. Social media interactions between them have also been minimal in recent years, prompting long-standing rumors of estrangement.

Now, with Hilary stepping into an edgy new musical era and her personal circle imploding, fans are left wondering what’s next for the pop star.

Getting noticed by your idol is any superfan's dream, so it's no wonder some go to increasing lengths to catch the eye of their favorite star.

One woman managed to ensure she was noticed by her favorite actor, Glen Powell - but it did take 140 days of eating pictures of his face to do so.

The Anyone But You and Twisters star recently opened up about the moment he learned of the fan's quest to get cast in one of his movies through her weird campaign of eating his face.

Speaking on The Hollywood Reporter Comedy Actor Roundtable, Glen told fellow actors Harrison Ford, Owen Wilson, Zach Braff, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Riz Ahmed of the strangest fan interaction he's ever had.

He explained: "There’s a woman in London who has been printing out pictures of my face for the last like 80 days and has eaten my face every day.

"Literally will eat my face until I give her a role in a movie."

That woman goes by @mynameismonique on TikTok, where she documented the challenge until day 140, when she finally met Glen on the Running Man red carpet in November 2025.

In the clip, the actor could be seen signing a picture of himself for her... before she chomped down on the image, tore half of it off with her teeth, and ate it in front of him.

Glen could be seen cracking up when he realized what she was doing, joking: "Now it’s a premiere!"

Describing the odd moment to his fellow stars, Glen explained: "I didn’t know this was a thing until it was described to me while I was on the red carpet.

"They’re like, 'Hey, the girl that eats your face is on the red carpet.' I go, 'What are you talking about?'"

When they questioned how Monique was granted red carpet access, Glen admitted: "That’s what I was like… come on, this is a real liability."

For those concerned, Monique previously confirmed the images she was chowing down on were "fully edible" rather than normal printouts on regular paper, which would not be a great idea for many reasons.

But it wasn't just Glen that had experienced some unhinged behavior from a fan, as Harrison Ford had a pretty interesting anecdote of his own.

He revealed the wildest thing a fan has ever said to him, after someone yelled at him at an airport: "My mother wants to sleep with you."

Riz Ahmed, meanwhile, revealed: "Once, somebody asked me to sign something, and I signed it and then they chased me down the street and started yelling at me: 'That’s not your signature!'"

Unfortunately for Monique, Glen is yet to cast her in any of his movies, but it seems she made quite the impression on him nonetheless.

The post was quickly flooded with well-wishes, including from the president's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, who wrote: "Praying for your continued strength and a swift recovery. Love you mama."

Vanessa's daughter, 19-year-old golfer Kai Trump, also wrote: "Love you! Strongest person ever."

What are the early signs of breast cancer?

While there can be many signs of breast cancer, Prevent Breast Cancer says some of the key signs to look out for include a lump in the breast or armpit, swelling of part or all of the breast, dimpling or changes to the skin of the breast or nipple, including inversion.

Redness, heart, and skin irritation can also be warning signs, as well as bloody discharge from the nipple.

If anything feels or looks abnormal compared to usual, it is best to get it checked by a professional as even a small symptom could help save your life.

Women are recommended to check their breasts regularly, looking and feeling for anything that is out of the ordinary for their own body.

Their guidance states that the five main signs to look for are:

1. A new lump or thickening in your breast or armpit
2. Noticing a change in the size, shape or feel of your breast
3. Visible skin changes in the breast such as puckering, dimpling, rashes or redness of the skin
4. Fluid leaking from the nipple for women who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding
5. Changes in the position of the nipple – You may notice your nipple turning in and sinking into the breast

If any changes are found, they advise getting checked by a doctor, who may then refer you to a dedicated breast clinic.

It is important to note that many of the symptoms listed can be non-cancerous and caused by normal breast changes, but it is always important to get checked to rule out anything more serious.

Born James Donald Bowman in Middletown, Ohio, on Aug. 2, 1984, he originally carried the surname of his biological father, Donald Bowman. But after his parents separated “around the time I started walking,” as Vance wrote in Hillbilly Elegy, his life changed dramatically.

JD Vances's name changes

When he was six years old, his mother, Beverly, remarried, and his stepfather, Robert Hamel, adopted him. His name was then legally changed to James David Hamel.

In his memoir, Vance explained that while his initials stayed the same, the “D” no longer stood for Donald. He rejected the idea that he had been named after an uncle named David, writing: “Any old D name would have done, so long as it wasn't Donald.”

For years, he continued using the name J.D. Hamel. It appeared on his high school diploma, military records from his service in Iraq as a Marine, his degree from The Ohio State University, and even blog posts he wrote while attending Yale Law School.

Still, Vance admitted the name never fully felt like his own, especially after his mother later divorced his adoptive father. In Hillbilly Elegy, he reflected: “I shared a name with no one I really cared about,” adding that explaining why his last name was Hamel often led to “awkward moments.”

He wrote: “Yeah, my legal father's last name is Hamel. You haven't met him because I don't see him.” He continued: “Of all the things that I hated about my childhood, nothing compared to the revolving door of father figures.”

Eventually, he chose to take the surname Vance in honor of his grandmother, Bonnie Blanton Vance, the “Mamaw” he credits with raising him through a chaotic childhood.

Campaign spokesperson Taylor Van Kirk later explained: “Throughout his tumultuous childhood, Mamaw, or Bonnie Blanton Vance, raised JD and was always his north star.”

She added: “It only felt right to him to take Vance as his last name.”

Vance's background

Although Hillbilly Elegy suggests the change happened around his 2014 wedding, records show he officially became James David Vance in April 2013, shortly before graduating from Yale.

The Vance surname also connected him strongly to his Appalachian roots and the “hillbilly royalty” he described in his memoir. He even noted that a distant relative connected to the Hatfield family helped spark the infamous Hatfield-McCoy feud.

Later, when launching his political career in 2021, he made one more subtle adjustment: dropping the periods from “J.D.” and rebranding himself publicly as JD Vance. His campaign confirmed at the time that the new styling reflected how he wanted his name written moving forward.

Today, while his official legal name remains James David Vance, the vice president is widely known simply as JD Vance.

The actress, 54 - who is perhaps best known for roles in shows like Dead to Me and Married... with Children - went public with having MS in 2021, having been diagnosed a few months beforehand.

The effects of the condition - a lifelong condition that impacts the central nervous system - meant that she struggled while filming the third and final season of Dead To Me.

However, she has since revealed the "tiny" signs of the disease which she'd ignored up to seven years before she was finally diagnosed.

During a previous interview with Good Morning America, the actress opened up about the signs she noticed early on, alongside her long-time friend Jamie-Lynn Sigler - who is also battling the condition.

“I probably had [MS] for six or seven years, I think,” Applegate says. “I noticed, especially the first season [of Dead to Me], we’d be shooting and my leg would buckle. I really just put it off as being tired, or I’m dehydrated, or it’s the weather.

"Then nothing would happen for months, and I didn’t pay attention. But when it hit this hard, I had to pay attention."

Watch the interview below:

The actress became emotional when she revealed that by the end of shooting the season, she relied on a wheelchair to bring her to set.

"My symptoms had started in the early part of 2021, and it was, like, literally just tingling on my toes," Applegate told Robin Roberts.

"And by the time we started shooting in the summer of that same year, I was being brought to set in a wheelchair. Like, I couldn’t walk that far," she added, referring to her hit Netflix show Dead To Me.

She also stated that even though she's in "excruciating pain", she's "used to it now."

Applegate initially opened up about her MS diagnosis during an interview with the New York Times.

At the time, she was still filming the third and final season of Dead To Me, though it was extremely difficult to continue with the project after she started her treatment.

"There was the sense of, 'Well, let’s get her some medicine so she can get better,'" she said. "And there is no better. But it was good for me. I needed to process my loss of my life, my loss of that part of me. So I needed that time."

However, she also emphasized that she had a "duty" to her work.

I had an obligation to Liz and to Linda, to our story," she said, despite show bosses apparently wanting to cease filming when she started receiving treatment.

"If people hate it, if people love it, if all they can concentrate on is, 'Ooh, look at the cripple,' that’s not up to me," she added. "But hopefully people can get past it and just enjoy the ride and say goodbye to these two girls."

Back in 2022, she also told singer-turned-talk-show-host Kelly Clarkson that she tends to use her job as an actress to distract her from her real-life problems.

"I've probably been going through grief and trauma my whole life, and acting was the place that I got to go to not feel it, you know?", she said at the time, noting that she used acting to avoid dealing with past breakups, trauma, deaths, and breast cancer.

She continued: "The beauty of Dead to Me is that it gave me almost this weird platform of dealing with it, where I didn't have to be on all the time and I didn't have to make all the jokes and I could fall apart in a scene.

"And it was, like, me. It was my soul actually falling apart, unfortunately, in front of the world, but it was cathartic in a beautiful way," she concluded.

Christina Applegate's grit and resilience is truly an inspiration to us all!
