After Macklemore was kicked off Ed Sheeran’s tour last week for singing a song about Palestine and waving the flag, the 'Shape of You' singer is circling the drain of being canceled completely.

While all of Sheeran’s other support acts have followed suit and dropped out of the Loop Tour, even politicians have decided to boycott the four-time Grammy award winner.

Although Ocasio-Cortez called on people to “put the focus on Robert Kraft”, she also criticised Sheeran for keeping largely quiet, at least until he denied that it was his decision to axe Macklemore.

When quizzed over whether Sheeran should continue with the tour and what his responsibility is, she said: “The right thing to do is to speak out about it and this abuse of power. If they are saying this to him, they can say it to anybody; when does it stop?"

Sheeran eventually broke his silence on Tuesday, September 15, in a six-slide Instagram statement declaring that it was not his personal decision to axe Macklemore from his tour.

Days later Sheeran posted on social media defending himself

The 35-year-old artist wrote in a statement: "After Macklemore's performances at my New Jersey shows, venues on my upcoming tour dates communicated that they would pull the shows if he was still supporting.

"I was informed that this stance was based on how Macklemore conveyed part of his message during his performance, rather than on everything that was said.

"I spoke with the venues at length all week to try and build a bridge. One of those people was Robert Kraft.

"I was also involved in direct talks with promoters along with activists on both sides to try and find a mutual resolution for all, but the venue's and promoter's decision was final.

"Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision; it was not mine.”

Despite the star denying that he sacked the rapper himself for voicing his views, the consensus online is largely that Sheeran should have stood up to venue owners and used his platform to endorse the important human rights violation currently taking place.

All Ed Sheeran's support acts withdraw from his tour

After Macklemore was kicked off Ed Sheeran’s tour last week for singing a song about Palestine and waving the flag, the 'Shape of You' singer is circling the drain of being canceled completely.

While Sheeran’s other support acts have followed suit and dropped out of the Loop tour, it could be a very different kind of musician who has condemned him completely.

Ms Rachel, real name Rachel Accurso, took to Instagram to slam the star over his silence in the wake of criticism over the decision.

In a post on social media, Accurso shared with her 5.7 million followers: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity [to] show that we won't be bullied into punishing people for supporting Palestine.

"Instead, he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows. A genocide is happening in Gaza. We all need to speak out against it."

Ms Rachel uses her social media to talk about children being killed in Palestine

According to figures supported by the United Nations, more than 21,000 children have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza.

Accurso referred to the figures in a separate post, writing: "Imagine looking back 20 years from now at yourself kicking someone off a tour because they spoke out during a genocide that has killed over 20,000 kids."

Sheeran eventually broke his silence on Tuesday, September 15, in a six-slide Instagram statement declaring that it was not his personal decision to axe Macklemore from his tour.

The 35-year-old artist wrote in a statement: "After Macklemore's performances at my New Jersey shows, venues on my upcoming tour dates communicated that they would pull the shows if he was still supporting.

Macklemore, 43, released a lengthy statement on social media, announcing that he was removed from Ed Sheeran's tour by his team, following comments in support of Palestine.

He said that Kraft Group rallied stadium owners and gave Ed an ultimatum.

The rapper previously explained his stance on the conflict following criticism from a pro-Israel organization.

Ed Sheeran's response to Macklemore

Sheeran's statement read, in full: "I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine,

"The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy,

"There are too many wars across the world causing immeasurable pain, none of which should be tolerated,

"Macklemore asked to join my tour last year and I agreed, because I respect him as an artist

"As with all my support acts, I agree that they play a setlist of their choosing."

Ed Sheeran's statement (continued)

The 35-year-old artist went on: "After Macklemore's performances at my New Jersey shows, venues on my upcoming tour dates communicated that they would pull the shows if he was still supporting.

"I was informed that this stance was based on how Macklemore conveyed part of his message during his performance, rather than on everything that was said.

"One of those people was Robert Kraft,

"I was also involved in direct talks with promoters along with activists on both sides to try and find a mutual resolution for all, but the venue's and promoter's decision was final.

"Macklemore coming off tour was the promoter's decision, it was not mine.

"Macklemore's contract for the tour was with the promoter, not me.

"I would never let down the fans who had made plans, nor would I abandon the touring crew and the other support acts and musicians who rely on me for work and to make a living,

"There is a reason I do not use my professional platform for politics – my audience includes young people, often children, of all backgrounds,

"Those who come to my shows do not expect a political forum,

"I respect Macklemore's strength of purpose to stand up and shout for what he believes,

"However, there is room for multiple approaches to the same end: peace.

"I choose to use my fame and platform to be a place of safety and sanctuary, to maintain diplomacy and keep conversations open, not closed,

"If we only focus on shouting the loudest, nothing will ever change,

"There are different approaches to being an advocate for change,

"I have always used my platform and music to bring people from all backgrounds and cultures together and this won't ever change,

"Those who have been to one of my shows will know that they are about unity, joy, escapism, love, and a place for everyone to feel welcome,

"I am not complicit.

"I have my personal views on this devastating conflict.

"Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have them, and it doesn't mean I don't care,

"Nor does it mean I don't support causes in my own, personal way.

"I have spent this week trying to build bridges, to find a solution and unfortunately, was unable to do so,

"I know who I am, both as a person and as an artist, and those who know my heart know my values too,

"Ed."

Macklemore's statement

Part of Macklemore's post read: “[Ed] told me that the words ‘Free Palestine’ and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, ‘I don't take sides.’”

Another section of the statement read: “I am not a victim. Ed Sheeran is not a victim. Pink is not a victim. We have careers, money, opportunities, safety and audiences around the world. Whatever consequences any of us face for what we say, we get to go home to our families. The victims are the Palestinian people.”

While Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne opened their lives to millions of viewers in the early 2000s alongside their younger children, their eldest daughter decided to stay completely out of the frame.

That sharp divide in lifestyle choices created a rift between the siblings that eventually proved impossible to bridge over the passage of time.

Kelly Osbourne recently spoke candidly about the permanent breakdown in her relationship with her older sister, Aimee Osbourne.

During an appearance on the We Need to Talk podcast, the media personality offered fans a rare glimpse into the complex family dynamics that ultimately drove the two sisters apart. She explained that their starkly contrasting personalities made it impossible for them to build a lasting bond or find common ground as adults.

According to Kelly, the differences between them were present right from their early years growing up in the spotlight. The two women simply could not find a way to connect, leading to feelings of detachment that only grew stronger over time.

Life outside the reality television spot

When the hit MTV reality series The Osbournes debuted in March 2002, viewers were introduced to the chaotic everyday life of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon, and their two youngest children, Kelly and Jack.

However, Aimee refused to participate in the show. She chose to move out of the family home at age 16 specifically to avoid the constant presence of camera crews. Her absence was so complete that her image was routinely blurred in family photographs displayed throughout the series.

Aimee later explained her decision to stay off television in an interview with the Independent. She revealed that she was still "trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life" at the time.

She noted that her choice was also driven by a desire to protect herself and her younger siblings, who were still impressionable when the massive media storm hit their home.

A rift that grew over time

Kelly shared her perspective on the podcast, explaining that her sister's choice to pull away left lasting emotional scars. "If I’m honest, my older sister didn’t really ever acknowledge me and my brother [Jack Osbourne]," Kelly stated during the interview. "She was just in her own world doing her own thing. I do, to a certain extent, feel as though she was embarrassed of us."

When the host inquired whether Aimee felt embarrassed by the entire family, Kelly remained uncertain. "I’ll never really truly understand. It just felt that way," she said.

She went on to explain that their core personalities are simply incompatible. "I know … we’re very different. Everything I am, she’s not. Everything she is, I’m not. Like you couldn’t be more polar opposite. We’re like oil and water."

No plans for a future reconciliation

Kelly acknowledged that she carries resentment over the lack of a traditional sisterly bond, making it clear that she has no intention of repairing the relationship.

When asked directly if a reconciliation could happen, she offered a firm answer. "No," she replied, standing by her choice to keep her distance permanently.

She elaborated on why she feels comfortable maintaining this boundary in her life today. "I respect her, I accept her, but we’re different, and that’s ok," Kelly said. "If you’re not going to accept me for who I am, and constantly be trying to change me and say horrible things about me, and truly seem to thrive when I’m not doing well, I don’t want you in my life."

Despite the estrangement, the family did briefly reunite in public at the 2026 Grammys to honor Ozzy following his passing.

It comes after Sheeran took to social media to explain the decision, saying he didn't want his shows to become a 'political forum'.

Finneas, Lukas Graham, and other supporting acts took to social media to confirm that they would no longer open for the British artist on the Loop tour.

The former, who is best known as the brother of singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, was set to open for the Shape of You artist on South American dates of the tour, which start in November.

Finneas took to Instagram, writing: “Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed.

“I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran.

"I stand with Palestine and its people,” he concluded.

Lukas Graham and Irish singer Aaron Rowe have also announced that they will not be part of the rest of the US leg of Sheeran's tour.

Statements from other opening acts

Graham took to Instagram, writing: “It’s hard to watch families in other parts of the world burying the people they love. We should be able to speak about war, about civilians being killed, about children who deserve to grow up. Wherever they live. Whatever flag flies over them.

“Money doesn’t give you the right to own the conversation. Nobody’s bank balance should decide who gets to speak or which suffering we’re allowed to acknowledge,” he said.

The Dane concluded: “I love Ed, and I’m grateful for everything we’ve shared. That hasn’t changed. But I can’t put these words out into the world and carry on with this tour as things stand. We’re withdrawing from the remaining dates.

"I’m sorry I won’t be there. This is a difficult decision, but it’s one I need to stand by.”

"I have made the decision to withdraw as a support act for Ed Sheeran’s ‘The Loop’ North American Tour," Rowe wrote in an Instagram post.

"I don’t take the decision lightly. Ed has been a friend to me and has changed my life. I could never thank him enough for this,

"But as Irish people we know all too well about genocide, forced famine and violent occupation," he added.

The Irishman went on: "I cannot stand by and allow billionaires to use their position of power to silence the rightful voices of those who speak up against Israeli genocide and who highlight the savage murder of children. I would lose all respect for myself to carry on as normal.

"I need to be true to myself and my ancestors who resisted colonisation, and fought for a freedom that I enjoy today in Ireland. FREE PALESTINE."

Macklemore commented a Palestinian flag and a heart in response.

Humanitarian groups and a United Nations commission have said Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute a genocide, but Israel and its allies, including the US, have denied this.

Ed Sheeran's band drops out

Beoga, a traditional Irish folk band who joined him for songs on set, have also decided to leave the Loop tour.

They also thanked Sheeran for his friendship, but wrote: “We believe in dialogue as a means of progressing the plight of the Palestinian people.

"As musicians, playing to those crowds every night is the stuff of dreams but to play in venues that silence anyone advocating for a Free Palestine is simply not an option for us.”

“We were there for Macklemore’s performance and speech. We fully supported his message, so did most of the audience in MetLife Stadium, which terrifies the lobbies. Go back and read the transcript if you’re in doubt," they stated.

He went on: "We are Irish people who understand colonialism. As founding members of the Irish Artists for Palestine movement, we are committed activists for justice and will continue to be.

"This whole episode is once again serving to distract form the real issue, over 1000 Palestinians have been killed since the most recent so-called ceasefire.”

The 36-year-old singer was spotted alongside the 64-year-old Mission: Impossible star Tom Cruise in an Arrowhead Stadium suite on Monday as the Chiefs kicked off their 2026 season.

Lip reader reveals what was said between the pair

The pair appeared to be deep in conversation as they watched the action, leaving fans wondering what exactly they were discussing.

Now, professional lip reader Nicola Hickling has offered her interpretation of the exchange.

Speaking to the Irish Star, Hickling claimed Swift could be seen saying: "It's the structure of the entire infrastructure of the audience that's what I love in a positive way...so."

According to Hickling, some of Cruise's opening words were difficult to make out, but she believes the actor then appeared to make a rather direct observation.

“You may not know it, but you do have a job,” Cruise allegedly said.

Swift then appeared to put down her drink and respond with a simple “right” while nodding. Hickling claims Cruise then continued: “I told her to stick to one and that it's the last time.”

Swift was again seen nodding in response, according to the lip reader's interpretation.

Whatever the pair were discussing, Swift appeared to be thoroughly enjoying herself as she watched the Chiefs, with the pop superstar opting for a red-and-white checked shirt as she settled into the stadium suite with a drink in hand.

Swift's Chiefs appearance came on the same night she featured in the Emmy Awards broadcast, despite not attending the ceremony in person, as the singer appeared in a sketch which also included her beloved cat.

Swift makes first appearance at a Chiefs' game since marrying Kelce

The singer was in attendance to watch her husband, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, with the pair tying the knot in a lavish ceremony at Madison Square Garden in the summer.

The secrecy surrounding the ceremony meant guests were allegedly asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, while details about the exact arrangements were kept under wraps, with no official pictures of the day being released.

Kelce later reflected on the occasion during an episode of his New Heights podcast, saying, “It was a fun offseason, man.”

“Wedding was the best night of my life, and I appreciate everyone who came out and celebrated, and, you know, had fun with us.”

Guests were reportedly instructed to arrive in New York City on July 2 and July 3 without being given all the details about what had been planned.

The proposal carries a massive price tag for the federal government. With nearly 270 million adult citizens in the nation, providing $5,000 to each individual would total roughly $1.3 trillion. The announcement drew strong reactions, with political opponents calling it an empty gesture and analysts raising immediate questions regarding its implementation and legality.

The announcement comes as the public deals with economic pressures and rising consumer prices across the nation. Financial strain has grown following ongoing military conflicts involving the US, Israel, and Iran.

The regional conflict has severely impacted energy routes, particularly near the Strait of Hormuz, causing global oil price fluctuations that continue to affect standard living expenses for American families.

Proposed eligibility criteria and conditions

Under the terms stated during the speech, the primary requirement to qualify for the payout is holding adult US citizenship. The president framed the proposed payments as a direct benefit tied directly to a Republican victory across both chambers of Congress in the November elections.

During his address in Dallas, Trump outlined specific limitations on how recipients would be expected to use the funds. The money would need to be spent within the domestic economy rather than internationally.

"If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them," Trump said per BBC News, "I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000."

He emphasized the requirement to keep the money within national borders during his address to supporters.

"We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money," he said. "We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America."

Details remain unconfirmed on how federal agencies would monitor or enforce domestic spending limits on individual bank accounts. Furthermore, the president did not clarify whether he intends to seek official congressional authorization for the total amount, which he named Trump Dividends.

Questions over legality and congressional approval

The proposed trillion-dollar distribution faces significant legal and logistical hurdles. Federal law strictly prohibits offering monetary compensation or direct financial rewards to influence voter behavior during an election. Opponents quickly pointed to these statutes to question whether promising direct payments in exchange for congressional votes violates federal campaign laws.

However, legal experts suggest the plan might navigate these regulations by framing the payout as a broad tax relief measure. Promising prospective tax cuts or tax dividends remains a standard political proposal protected under federal law. An election law expert noted that political statements of this nature generally fall under free speech protections guaranteed by the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

This proposal is not the first time political leaders have linked monetary benefits to legislative victories. Similar strategies have been used previously, such as when political candidates promised pandemic relief payments depending on party control in key legislative races.

The 'Poker Face' songstress is reportedly spending time at her new $10 million mansion in Marin County, California, with fiancé Michael Polansky, the Daily Mail reported.

However, her low-key lifestyle has sparked speculation that the couple may have secretly married.

One source close to Gaga claimed her inner circle has struggled to reach her.

"No one has seen her or heard from her in over a month," the insider said. "Everyone in her circle thinks she eloped with Michael and is on her honeymoon now, trying to make a baby."

The couple has not publicly addressed the wedding rumors.

Gaga has hinted at marriage and starting a family

A private ceremony would not come as a surprise to Gaga fans, who are named 'Little Monsters', as the 'Die With A Smile' vocalist has previously opened up about wanting to keep her wedding simple.

During an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, she said she had considered "just going to a courthouse just the two of us, and ordering Chinese food."

In March, Gaga also said she would "soon" be marrying the entrepreneur and venture capitalist.

"This was her plan all along, to settle down in her forties," another source said.

The 'Bad Romance' singer has also been open about wanting children.

"What I want most is to be a mother and I am sure that he will also be a great father. We are so excited about this," she told Rolling Stone last year.

According to an Insider, Gaga hopes to have a large family.

"She has only one sister, Natali, and always wanted more siblings. So she wants her children to have many siblings so they can all lean on each other," they said.

Six-year relationship with Michael Polansky

Gaga and Polansky have been together for six years after meeting in 2019 at tech entrepreneur Sean Parker’s 40th birthday party in Los Angeles.

They were first spotted together publicly on New Year’s Eve that year at Park MGM in Las Vegas before confirming their relationship in 2020 with a picture of themselves together on a boat.

The couple became engaged in 2024 after Polansky proposed during a rock-climbing trip on April Fools' Day.

Gaga later recalled how he asked for permission before proposing.

"We were just walking back to the room and talking. He actually - it was very Michael - asked me if he could ask me. He wanted to know if it was OK to propose before he proposed. And I was like, 'Yes, it's so OK!'", she revealed.

"He had the ring in his backpack, so it was so super cute. But you know what? I'm a modern lady. I like what he did," she added.

The engagement was later revealed when Gaga introduced Polansky as "my fiancé" while attending the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

The picture left Royalists excited over one particular aspect of the photo, with George being enrolled in the same school his father attended three decades ago.

The 13-year-old son of Prince William and Kate Middleton joined the prestigious educational institution on Tuesday.

His smart portraits were posted to social media via Kensington Palace shortly after, displaying George proudly smiling in his new uniform, which is made up of a black tailcoat, waistcoat, stiff white collar, and pinstriped trousers.

The teen prince will likely undertake both his GCSE and A-Level examinations at the UK’s most pre-eminent private school, which costs an astonishing £63,299 per year, translating to roughly $85,794.

The portrait of the heir apparent had everyone saying the same thing

Yet, it wasn’t the staggering yearly fees involved that had people talking, but rather George’s striking resemblance to his father when he was around the same age.

One user took the opportunity to post the portraits of George and William side by side, writing: “Like father, like son! Prince William and Prince George on their first day at Eton College almost 30 years apart.”

Another user commented: “Father and Son in their Eton uniform,” before a third echoed the comparison: “Like father, like son! The resemblance is incredible, even nearly 30 years apart.”

And a fourth added: “They really look alike actually. The only difference is the eye color.”

The prince joins his father and uncle, Prince Harry, in attending the school, after they were both pupils between 1995-2001, and 1998-2003, respectively.

The heir apparent was dropped off by his mother and father, and was greeted by Eton’s head master Simon Henderson, who said: “Welcome, good luck, enjoy it.”

The educational institution has 25 boarding houses, with each housing 55 pupils starting from the age of 13 going through to the age of 18, all of which are looked after by residential staff.

The 36-year-old Hollywood star has regularly been photographed with a scarf wrapped around her head while out in public, often leaving fans wondering whether the unusual accessory was part of a carefully curated look or a conscious effort to conceal some of her face.

Lawrence reveals the reason she always wears headscarves

But Lawrence has come out and explained that there is a much more practical reason behind her clothing choices.

The actress has patches of melasma on her cheeks, and she has been using the prescription skincare treatment tretinoin, a vitamin A derivative that is more potent than over-the-counter retinol.

Because tretinoin can cause dryness and irritation, Lawrence has been covering her face and protecting her skin while undergoing treatment.

Speaking to Vogue, she explained: "I’ve been wearing a scarf over my melasma spots ever since I started tret, which of course I get photographed [doing] and people think I’m making some sort of fashion statement."

She added: "I’m literally just haggard and scaling and trying to survive ... [I wear scarves] because I get the melasma here. [on my cheeks] ... Yeah. There’s no amount of looking goofy that I’m going to care about more than my melasma."

Melasma is a common skin condition that typically affects facial pigmentation, causing brown, red, or blue patches to form on the skin.

While it isn’t serious, it can cause some temporary facial disfigurement, with areas frequently exposed to the sun more susceptible to it.

During the conversation, Lawrence was asked whether she had considered using SPF stickers that can be placed directly onto the face to protect areas of skin from the sun.

Her response suggested she wasn't exactly convinced by the idea.

"And you go out in that? So you just put on a handlebar mustache. Okay, I take back what I said. I do care a little bit more than you about what I look like. You are brave," she joked.

The actress reveals her skincare tips

The actress also opened up about how she has adapted her skincare routine since beginning tretinoin. According to Lawrence, the key is layering heavily moisturizing products around the treatment.

"You have to sandwich. You have to use night cream, like something really moisturizing. Then tret. Then a spritz of water and oil, because what I didn’t realize for so long, and I’m really happy to tell you this: oil traps the water in, so you have to give oil some water that the oil sits on top of so that it seals it into your skin."

Lawrence also revealed that her skincare routine can become considerably more basic when she's short on time.

Rather than reaching for an expensive moisturizer, the actress said she will sometimes use olive oil on her face.

"Sometimes, if I don’t get to washing my face in the morning and I have to run down the stairs, then I put a little olive oil on my face."

However, one popular skincare ingredient has now fallen out of favor with the actress.

Lawrence said she has stopped using products containing vitamin C after becoming sceptical about whether they actually benefit her skin.

"I believe in my heart that vitamin C is going to help my skin, but I don’t know because I heard that it’s fake. So that’s over for me."

While her scarf-heavy appearances may have looked like another celebrity fashion trend, Lawrence has made it clear that she is far more concerned with protecting her skin than looking glamorous.

For the actress, apparently, avoiding melasma is worth looking a little "goofy" in public.

The 59-year-old actress reflected on being diagnosed with hepatitis C in the late 1990s while accepting the Award of Courage at the amfAR Venezia Gala 2026 on Sunday (September 6).

Anderson, who has since been cured of the infection, revealed that doctors initially told her she might have just 10 years to live.

"Back in the late 90s when I was diagnosed with hepatitis C, there was no cure," she told the audience, per Variety. "It was a death sentence. That’s what my doctor told me, that I probably had around 10 years to live. I’m sure that coloured and corrupted my decisions."

"It was not fear of death, but fear of what might happen to my young children. It turned my life inside out," she added.

Anderson says the diagnosis 'haunts' her

Hepatitis C is a virus spread through contact with infected blood. The virus can "cause both acute and chronic hepatitis, ranging in severity from a mild illness to a serious, lifelong illness including liver cirrhosis and cancer," according to WHO.

More than a decade after her diagnosis, effective treatment became available, and the former Playboy star said she was fortunate to receive it early. However, access came at an enormous financial cost.

"10 blurry years later, there was a cure. I was lucky; I was offered it in its early stages, and it took everything I had in my bank to pay for it [because] it wasn’t covered by insurance yet, and I felt tremendous guilt that others weren’t granted the same access.

"I am grateful to say now that I am hep C free but my experience of shame and guilt was also an unconscious journey. It stays with me. It haunts me," she added.

Anderson said she used her public platform to raise awareness and encourage others to get tested, but behind the scenes, she was struggling with what the diagnosis meant for her.

"My words did not match my feelings; I was angry and scared. I went into sabotage mode," she said.

The Baywatch star also revealed that the shame she felt reminded her of the sexual abuse she endured as a child.

"And just like the sexual abuse that I endured as a child, it felt like it was carved into my forehead: Damaged goods. And I presented myself as such," she said.

Anderson admitted that she still hasn't "fully recovered" from receiving the diagnosis, although she believes she may have "finally come to terms" with what happened.

Anderson announced she was cured in 2015

The actress publicly revealed in 2015 that she had recovered from hepatitis C.

"I am CURED!!! - I just found out #nomorehepc #thankyou #blessing #family #prayer #live," she wrote on Instagram at the time, per Los Angeles Times.

Speaking to ABC News that year, Anderson again reflected on being told she had approximately a decade to live.

"They said I would die in 10 years. When someone tells you something like that, you kind of act differently subconsciously," she said.

The star spent more than $100,000 on the drug treatment through her health insurance.

"Twelve weeks and gone, yes. I feel like I got back 20 years of my life,” she said.

'My truth has come through my work'

In recent years, Anderson has seen a career resurgence, taking roles in films including The Last Showgirl, The Naked Gun, Rosebush Pruning, and Place to Be, which premieres at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday.

She said acting and the arts have given her a way to process her experiences.

"My truth has come through my work, finding ways to express myself through the arts. It gave me the ammunition I needed, a fertile life to use and play in," she said.

She concluded: "I’m not a victim, I’m a victor. I am strong and capable, more now than I could ever dream of … I’m not the damsel in distress, no matter how easy that role is to play."

The mom-of-four, Corie Walsh, 40, was then reportedly discovered in a bathtub, self-harming. She has since been charged with murdering the tot, Barrett Walsh.

According to court documents, Walsh’s neighbor, who had not been publicly named, reportedly found the toddler’s lifeless body hanging by a rope around his neck, with his feet off the ground on Tuesday, September 6.

Walsh's defence claims she suffered a psychotic episode

The horrified neighbor removed the rope, pulled him to the ground and began performing CPR after calling the emergency services. Tragically, Barrett died shortly after being rushed to hospital.

Moments later, the neighbor discovered the lifeless toddler’s mom upstairs in a bloody bathtub “actively harming herself” with a knife. She removed the knife from Walsh and pressed a towel over the wounds on her thighs and wrists.

Just hours after talking about the Lindsay Clancy trial, in which the mom-of-three was being prosecuted for strangling her three children to death but claimed that she was legally insane due to post-partum psychosis, Walsh described her own son as the “anti-Christ” and the “devil”.

Similar to Clancy's defence, Walsh’s lawyer is claiming she suffered a psychotic episode before she killed her young son.

Walsh’s lawyer told ABC 7 Chicago that the mother of four “was experiencing a psychotic episode.”

Attorney Andrea Lyon said: “This is a tragedy for the Walsh family, all of whom are mourning the loss of this child.

“It is our hope that through a thorough presentation and investigation of the facts, that all of us will come to see this heartbreak for what it is.”

The Lindsay Clancy trial collapsed after the jury failed to reach a verdict

After jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial were unable to reach a unanimous verdict, it ended in a mistrial on Friday, September 4, and prosecutors have not yet decided whether to retry her or not.

The 36-year-old mother has been accused of killing her three children before jumping out of a window in January 2023. The Massachusetts mom allegedly strangled her kids, Cora, five; Dawson, three; and eight-month-old Callan, before throwing herself out of a second-story window in an attempt to take her own life.

Clancy, who survived, now requires a wheelchair and has not denied strangling her children, though she claims she was suffering from undiagnosed postpartum psychosis.

The controversial adult content creator, whose real name is Tia Billinger, revealed that she gave birth to her first child via C-section, at the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital in London, per Metro, which has previously been used by members of the Royal Family.

Bonnie had previously told Metro that she expected to give birth in “late October or early November”, making the arrival considerably earlier than anticipated.

However, Bonnie has revealed that she is apparently not letting being a new mother slow down her career as she's right back into shooting adult content.

She took to social media to share a video of her sitting on a bed - bizarrely still appearing to be wearing her hospital gown - cradling her newborn as a group of men wearing blue balaclavas crowded around her.

New mothers are usually advised to refrain from sexual activity for at least six weeks post birth, to allow them to recover physically and emotionally, as well as to prevent infection and to allow the womb and any wounds to heal properly, per Healthline.

Despite the risks, Bonnie has taken to social media to claim it doesn't apply to her, as she had a C-section rather than a vaginal birth. (In case you're wondering, that doesn't rule out the potential for infection, or the fact the womb and C-section needing time to heal.)

She said in her latest video: "Yes, I just had a baby but that means the six-week rule does not apply to me, because I had a C-section.

"Down there, still looking perfect."

People in the comments were pretty horrified, writing: "cant believe i felt a little bad for her and convinced myself that motherhood will change her."

Others added: "This should be illegal there is an infant there," and: "Real baby or staged stunt, using the image of a newborn to promote porn is fucking disgusting. Every adult participating should be ashamed. When attention becomes more valuable than basic decency, a society is tearing itself apart."

Another commented: "What? lol there’s a open wound the size of a plate from where the placenta detaches. This is the reason for the 6 week rule. Good lord."

Bonnie had previously spoken about unsuccessfully trying to conceive “for years and years” with her soon-to-be ex-husband and claims she became pregnant following her February 7 “breeding event”, where she said she had unprotected sex with around 400 men.

Following the birth, Bonnie announced the news on while appearing to sit on the toilet, eating toast and drinking Pepsi, telling her followers: "The baby’s here.

"Kid’s doing fine. I’ve had a baby I’m fine, had a C-section, the baby is super, super healthy, and yes, I’m sat on the toilet.”

She continued: “I’m going home later, it was painful but not as bad as I thought, however, when I was sick this morning it genuinely felt like I just fingered my stitches and ripped it open.”

Bonnie also attempted to reassure other new parents, saying: “Don’t overthink it, the baby is fine, as long as they’re fed, clean, burped, apart from that, they’re just sleeping and it’s amazing, they’re adorable, and if I can do it, anyone can do it.”

As widely reported, the adult content creator revealed that she had given birth via C-section.

In a video posted to social media, Bonnie said: "I’ve had a baby. I’m fine. I had a C-section and the baby’s super, super healthy."

"I’m going home later. It was painful but not as bad as I thought. However, when I was sick this morning, it genuinely felt like I had my stitches ripped open," she added.

The arrival has put renewed attention on one major unanswered question: Who is the father?

Despite the large number of men Bonnie has been involved with, including hundreds who reportedly attended her "breeding mission" stunt, only three have publicly suggested they could be the baby's father.

And for them, the possibility is suddenly looking a lot more real.

Jak White admitted fatherhood 'wasn't on my bingo card'

OnlyFans creator Jak White, 20, attended the adult star's "breeding mission" event and later told The Tab that he was concerned she might be carrying his child.

He described the day as "crazy" and said that, while he'd enjoyed himself, becoming a father wasn't something he'd anticipated.

He revealed he'd spent just three minutes with Bonnie but acknowledged that brief encounter could still leave him facing a lifetime of responsibility.

Asked whether he was worried he could be the father, Jak said: "Well yeah. It wasn’t on my bingo card for 2026. You don’t expect that to happen. I thought everything was planned and whatnot, but yeah it could happen right? And it did happen."

Owain Laing joked that the baby's appearance could give him away

Then there's Owain Laing, who attended another of Bonnie's controversial events after her baby shower was turned into an X-rated stunt.

Owain has publicly acknowledged he could be the baby's father, though he has approached the situation with humor.

"I could be the dad. If it comes out with a little beard and a mullet, then it’s definitely mine," he quipped to the outlet.

He also posted a picture of himself posing alongside a pregnant Bonnie on Instagram, captioning it: "Unexpected plot twist."

There's another complication for Owain: He has a girlfriend.

In a video showing the couple having dinner during a trip to Rome, he wrote: "Enjoying a trip in Rome knowing I have to tell her I could be Bonnie Blue’s baby daddy."

However, his girlfriend apparently already knew about his involvement with Bonnie.

After the event, Owain said: "I’ve got a Mrs and she was happy and knows Bonnie as she was there for the Bali shoot and they got along with each other."

Tommy Lee says Bonnie told him there's a 'high chance' he's the father

Perhaps the most daunting claim comes from creator Tommy Lee, who has worked with both Bonnie and Lily Phillips.

Tommy attended Bonnie's baby shower and has admitted that he's worried the child could be his.

According to Tommy, Bonnie herself had told him, "there’s a high chance that you’re the dad," which left him feeling that he “had to be there” for the shower.

He spoke to US Weekly about the possibility of becoming a father, sharing: "I don’t think anything really sinks in until proven. But it’s still a big worry in the back of your mind, thinking about what do you do if it is."

"It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, I think about it, but you just don’t know what can you say? I don’t think there’s anything you can do. That’s it, really," he added.

Bonnie says motherhood won't end her adult-content career

Whoever the baby's father turns out to be, the adult star has previously made clear that becoming a mother won't mean abandoning the career that made her famous.

Speaking to the Daily Star in June, she said: "I don't plan on retiring. People think after you have a baby, your life ends. That is really not the case at all."

Instead, Bonnie said she plans to continue traveling and working while bringing her child along.

"It is easier said than done. I don't have a baby yet, but I do believe a lot of people just milk it and make it seem harder than what it is. I am in a very lucky position in that I can get help if I want help. I can fly first class, and I can get a private jet if I need to," she admitted.

She also said she didn't intend to hire a nanny, despite joking that she hated the smell of diapers and wished her baby "came out potty trained already".

"When I see those videos on TikTok, I wish you could have a jet wash that was kid-friendly," she said.

And following the birth, Bonnie reassured other moms, sharing: "Don’t overthink it, the baby is fine, as long as they’re fed, clean, burped, apart from that they’re just sleeping and it’s amazing, they’re adorable, and if I can do it, anyone can do it."

Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo, who was also known as Denisi or Ego on social media, underwent the procedure during a trip to Bangkok in March.

The 43-year-old, who documented his extravagant lifestyle, had 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine injected into his penis at an unnamed Thai clinic, according to an inquest at Inner West London Coroners’ Court, per TMZ.

But shortly afterward, the trip took a devastating turn.

Influencer collapsed after procedure

Ubiribo was staying at a Marriott hotel in Bangkok with his wife, fashion designer and socialite Danielle Simba Allen.

Following the procedure, the couple went for a massage, where Ubiribo began complaining of chest pain before passing out twice.

He was rushed by ambulance to Sukhumvit Hospital and was initially conscious and able to answer doctors' questions.

Allen informed medical staff about the filler injections her husband had received, but Ubiribo lost consciousness before doctors could perform a recommended CT scan.

Medics determined that he had suffered a pulmonary embolism, a blockage in a blood vessel in the lungs, and transferred him to intensive care.

Doctors performed CPR for more than 100 minutes in an attempt to save him, but Ubiribo died in the early hours of March 6.

Postmortem linked death to cosmetic treatment

A postmortem examination carried out in the UK subsequently found cellular material in Ubiribo's lungs that matched the hyaluronic acid used during the procedure.

Coroner Jean Harkin ruled that his death was caused by a pulmonary embolism resulting from the cosmetic treatment.

Hyaluronic acid penis fillers can cost as much as $9,000 and typically last between six and nine months.

The procedure can be used to increase the length or girth of the penis, but potential side effects include loss of sensation, erectile dysfunction, infection, and inflammation, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Another possible complication is "having a bend or kink in the new penis shape due to scarring," per Cleveland Clinic.

Ubiribo was known for his lavish lifestyle

Ubiribo owned a $1.1 million home in Los Angeles' Crenshaw neighborhood as well as a $600,000 apartment in London.

He married Danielle in a $473,000 ceremony in Zimbabwe in 2022.

In June 2025, he expressed his love for his wife on Instagram: "I appreciate you more than words can say - this is forever, and I’m all in. I love you deeply."

In another tribute shared in 2024, he said: "Life has been nothing but complete with you by my side, I can’t thank God enough for the day we met. Your kindness, compassion, and steadfast support have illuminated my path. You have been my anchor through life’s highs and lows, and I am eternally grateful for your presence by my side."

Allen had similarly celebrated their relationship following a 30-day trip abroad in 2025 spanning three continents, four countries and 10 cities.

"To My Husband You Went Above & Beyond Thank You For Such A Memorable Summer," she wrote.

Alongside footage of the couple taking a helicopter ride, she added: "Some couples take romantic walks…But you my husband have always kept my feet above the ground.

"We’ve flown over oceans, taken in breathtaking views but you my King remain my forever view. A view I can’t wait to wake up to every morning. Because your smile… your 'How did you sleep, baby?'… keeps me on a forever high."

Ubiribo was laid to rest in London in May in a gold coffin reportedly costing more than $745,000.

Among the mourners were Nigerian superstar Davido and his friend, Celebrity Barman Cubana Chief Priest, who shared footage from the funeral and paid tribute to Ubiribo on Instagram.

"Rest Easy Brother @ego2222," he wrote. "Even In Death, The Lifestyle Was Kept For You. Today London Stood Still For You Tiny, We Love You, We Celebrate You & We Will Never Forget You Brother, We Lived Bro, Good Memories."

The pink sticker, reading "#sidebah," was attached to a drink holder carrying a Diet Coke on Clancy’s wheelchair in a picture captured on Wednesday (September 2) as jurors continued deliberating in the Massachusetts mother-of-three’s murder trial.

The phrase appears to reference the way Clancy’s defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, pronounces "sidebar" in his Boston accent.

Sticker sparks outrage among trial watchers

Reddington, who has passionately defended Clancy and held her hand during difficult moments of the six-week trial, has become something of a feminist icon among some supporters of postpartum moms.

It remains unclear whether Clancy herself placed the "#sidebah" sticker on her wheelchair.

However, the seemingly lighthearted reference left some online users angry given the circumstances surrounding the trial.

"#LindsayClancy has the audacity to put a 'joke' sticker 'SideBah' on her drink holder?!?!!! Does she think that’s all a joke?!" one person wrote on X.

"The kids are in the ground and she thinks this is a damn joke ?? Tell me that’s not who she is," another wrote.

Clancy claims she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis

Clancy is on trial for murdering her three children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and eight-month-old Callan, using exercise bands inside the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts, home.

The former labor and delivery nurse then slit her wrists and throat before throwing herself from the second story of the house, leaving her partially paralyzed.

Clancy argues that she should be found not criminally responsible for the killings because she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis at the time.

Her mental health has been at the center of the trial.

Clancy’s mother, mother-in-law, sister, friends, and former co-workers testified that she struggled after giving birth to Callan.

Her former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, testified that Clancy had become anxious, paranoid, and suicidal while the psychiatric treatment she received was failing to help.

"She felt unwell. She had insomnia. She was losing her appetite. She was very anxious and sad," Susan Clancy said. "She was begging for help."

Defense slams Clancy’s mental health treatment

Reddington argued that Clancy was misdiagnosed and overmedicated, sharply criticizing the psychiatric care she received before the deaths.

During closing arguments, he showed jurors one picture of the Clancy family appearing happy, followed by another showing Clancy in the hospital.

"How does this turn into this?" he asked. "How? Because of the damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got."

Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague called criticism of the mental health system "a distraction" and said Clancy deliberately killed the children because they were stopping her from taking her own life.

"She was depressed. She was exhausted. She was done. She didn’t want to try anymore. She felt damaged," Sprague said. "But those kids, those kids were her protective factor. Those kids were keeping her from ending her misery."

Jury deadlock takes dramatic turn

The 12-person jury, made up of nine women and three men, has repeatedly struggled to reach a verdict.

Jurors first informed Sullivan on Tuesday that they could not unanimously agree before sending another note Wednesday saying they remained at an impasse.

Thursday brought the clearest note yet, as the foreperson said one juror would not follow the judge’s instructions on reasonable doubt.

Sullivan then questioned each juror privately before rereading his reasonable doubt instructions and ordering them to continue deliberating.

Reddington sought to remove the disputed juror, while Sprague argued the judge’s instruction was enough and no further action was needed.

Sullivan ultimately declined the defense's request to remove the juror.

The jury is now expected to return on Friday for a seventh day of deliberations.

If convicted, Clancy could face a sentence as severe as life in prison. If she is found not guilty, she could be released or remain confined in a mental health facility.

Rigg died at the age of 82 in September 2020 following a cancer diagnosis. She was widely recognized for her classic acting roles, including performances in the popular television series The Avengers and Game of Thrones, as well as starring alongside George Lazenby as a Bond girl.

Her daughter’s tradition emerged as a way to maintain a close connection to her during major moments in her professional life.

Health experts generally advise against consuming cremated remains because they may contain trace amounts of heavy metals or chemical residues leftover from the cremation process. While ingesting tiny accidental amounts is usually non-toxic, intentional consumption carries risks of toxic buildup in the body over time. However, Stirling views this practice as a deeply personal act that provides her with strength.

In her memoir, titled All About My Mother, Stirling explains the motivation behind her opening night tradition and how it offers her comfort when performing.

"Although it shocks people when I tell them," she wrote in the memoir. "It feels absolutely natural to me. I am cloaked in her, shielded and shrouded by her. My mother is my superpower."

A difficult diagnosis during lockdown

Rigg was first diagnosed with cancer in March 2020, but she initially chose to keep the illness hidden from her daughter. At the time, Stirling was busy starring in a production of Mike Bartlett's play Love Love Love. As Rigg's condition worsened, Stirling became aware of the situation and stepped in to manage her care during a very challenging period.

The pandemic created serious complications for hospital care and visitation. Stirling described the overwhelming situation she faced when trying to locate her mother in the medical system.

"They lost Mama's name on the system at one juncture during Covid. I was asking: 'Where the f*** is my mother?'" Stirling revealed in her book. "I found her eventually. I basically had to break into the hospital. She was in a room on her own. She couldn't get out of bed. The only thing she wanted to eat was this yogurt, but she couldn't open it, and nobody had helped her, so she hadn't eaten anything. So that was that. I took her home with us."

Remembering a celebrated career

Six months after her initial diagnosis, Rigg passed away peacefully at home. Following her death in September 2020, Stirling released a statement honoring her mother's life and her extensive work as an actor.

"My Beloved Ma died peacefully in her sleep early this morning, at home, surrounded by family. I will miss her beyond words," Stirling said at the time, per Deadline. "She spent her last months joyfully reflecting on her extraordinary life, full of love, laughter and a deep pride in her profession."

For the first time, Censori has commented on her public perception and controversial outfit choices. In an essay posted on the Welcome.jpeg Substack last week, the model reflected on her identity and the way the media has portrayed her.

Censori claims she loves being nude both in the house and outside

Addressing her numerous nearly nude looks, she wrote: "Nudity on a red carpet is abnormal. But so is anything other than nudity in a bathtub. For the record, I like both."

The star also revealed that she has, on more than one occasion, been approached by major magazines and TV production companies pleading with her to do an interview or even a documentary.

Censori claimed: "I’ve been asked to do many major covers as long as 'something in my life had changed' (I think you can infer what that means). Interviews. Even a documentary with a major network. They asked to facilitate couples therapy on camera. "

The star hates press interviews

Unlike other A-listers, Censori is very open about disliking the media circuit, openly admitting in the essay: “I don’t like interviews.”

The artist also revealed that, to help her promote her new show, she has hired a PR specialist to help her navigate the media, and perhaps help positively shape their perception of her.

The media’s fascination with Censori began in 2022, when she married rapper Kanye West and began turning up to red carpet events in jaw-dropping (or, rather, drawer-dropping), outfits.

At the 2025 Grammys, Censori sported the most shocking award show dress ever.

She stunned red carpet guests when she dropped the long black fur coat she arrived in to reveal a dress that was entirely see-through, with the only visible evidence of fabric on her body being the delicate hem, making her look entirely naked from a not-so-long distance.

In February, the model addressed her signature scandalous style, which has become increasingly X-rated since marrying West in 2022, in an interview with Vanity Fair.

Shutting down digs that her husband controls what she wears, Censori said: “I wouldn't be doing something I didn't want to do.

“Me and my husband would work on my outfits together. So it was like a collaboration, it was never ‘I was being told to do something."'

The now martial arts teacher has been very open about the time he spent with Jackson, even sharing a tribute to his late friend, wishing him a “happy 68th heavenly birthday” on August 29.

In a recent episode of Lee Matthews’ podcast, Elite, he spoke about the Thriller singer’s tactics for dealing with paparazzi and the media.

Fiddes raised the subject of the lengths Jackson went to shape his public image. The star was often captured by the media wearing face masks or tape across his surgically altered nose.

Jackson handled the media very tactically

The former security personnel explained: "He knew how to play the media and keep relevant.

"The sticky tape and the tape on his nose and the makeup and the fedora and the mask and the sunglasses..."

Matthews quizzed Fiddes on why the star made his plastic surgery so public by openly wearing dressings, and whether the tweaks made to his appearance were staged.

Fiddes responded with: "It was all staged.

"He wanted people to think his nose was falling off. It was allergy tape."

While it would be impossible to know why he chose to spin this story to the media, it has certainly helped keep him relevant, as even 17 years after his death, people are still talking about him and his appearance.

In a previous interview with the Metro, Fiddes said: "He knew how to manipulate the media. He knew exactly how to get the front pages. He used to have a meeting as soon as he got to a [city].

"90 percent of the time it worked, by putting a mask on his face, or sticky tape on his hands – or tape on his nose was a favourite one. He would say he wanted his life to be the greatest mystery on Earth."

How did Jackson alter his appearance?

In the new hit biopic, Micheal, confessed to having two nose jobs in his lifetime. He claimed that the first one in 1979 was medically necessary after he broke his nose during a dance rehearsal and faced difficulty breathing.

Before his tragic passing in 2009, Jackson also admitted to having a chin implant. The much-talked-about change in the colour of his skin was infamously due to vitiligo, an autoimmune condition which causes skin to lose pigment.

In the 2026 movie, Jackson’s nose surgery is addressed in a scene in which his father, the allegedly abusive Joe Jackson, called him “big nose”.

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested in July 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to traffic minors. He pleaded not guilty.

Before the case went to trial, the disgraced financier died in a New York jail, and his death was ruled a suicide.

Seven years later, the US Department of Justice released several batches of documents related to Epstein, including records from flight logs, emails, and correspondence.

Numerous famous names appear in the documents, including Prince Andrew, J.K. Rowling, Bill Gates, Whoopi Goldberg, and Naomi Campbell.

However, the context in which people are mentioned varies, and appearing in the files does not by itself indicate wrongdoing or involvement in Epstein's crimes.

Several celebrities have since spoken publicly to explain why their names appeared in the documents.

Whoopi Goldberg

During a February 2026 episode of The View, the 70-year-old actress said her name appeared in the files because of a discussion about arranging a flight to Monaco.

"In the name of transparency, my name is in the files, yes!" the Oscar winner said. "And what does it say? ‘Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco. John Lennon’s charity is paying for it.’ It should say Julian’s Charity. ‘They don’t want to charter, so they are looking for private owners. Here’s the info,’ and they give all the information and they are saying do you want to offer your G2?"

Goldberg stressed that she was never friends with Epstein.

"I wasn’t his girlfriend. I wasn’t his friend," she said. "I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged. People actually believe that I was with him. Honey, come on. Every man I’ve been with, you’ve known about him because either the Enquirer wrote about it. People wrote about this stuff."

The actress also said she never traveled on Epstein's plane because she is afraid of flying.

Naomi Campbell

The British supermodel's name appeared in emails, schedules, and call sheets written by Epstein's assistants.

Campbell later issued a statement through her lawyer, Martin Singer, denying that she had known about Epstein's crimes before his 2019 arrest.

"Prior to Epstein’s 2019 arrest in New York, my client knew nothing about his appalling criminal conduct," Singer said in a statement to Black Enterprise. "If my client had ever encountered any young woman whom she thought was being victimized by Epstein, she would have personally taken immediate action to help her."

Tony Hawk

Tony Hawk found himself mentioned in the files in an email that claimed he had been married on Epstein's private island.

The skateboarder denied that account and explained that the apparent confusion stemmed from photographs taken at his 2006 wedding to his ex-wife, Lhotse Merriam.

"One of the guests in 2006 shot photos of the Fiji ceremony and licensed them to Getty Images," Hawk explained. "His name is [coincidentally] Mark Epstein. An accomplished action sports photographer from Wyoming and of no relation to Jeffrey Epstein (who I never met and whose island I never visited). This is all easily verifiable information. Facts are not fungible."

Jon Stewart

Jon Stewart took a funnier approach after discovering his name in the files.

He spoke about it during a February 2026 episode of The Daily Show, saying: "Of course, to get ahead of the story, I am also in the files. We all searched our names, right?"

The TV host explained that his name came up during a 2015 email exchange between Epstein and producer Barry Josephson concerning the potential next career move for someone named "Woody".

"I take you to the scene: It is midnight, Aug. 29, 2015. Jeffrey Epstein lies wide awake, his mind turning with ideas."

Epstein suggested that Woody should "do a new stand-up routine for either Apple TV or Amazon".

"Jeffrey Epstein always had his finger on the pulse of what America was clamoring for in 2015!" Stewart joked. "But Barry Josephson, thinking like the out-of-the-box television professional that he was, pitched this idea. This is true, quote: ‘Make a true biographical experience with his stand-up being the capper. Somebody like Jon Stewart could host/narrate the biographical part.’"

Stewart continued: "Excuse me? I am offended! Somebody like Jon Stewart, or Jon Stewart?! My point is, do I have the offer, or is this an audition?"

Bill Gates

Bill Gates has also addressed his past connection to Epstein after his name appeared in the files.

Among the documents was an unsent email in which Epstein alleged that Gates had sexual relations with two "Russian girls" and contracted a sexually transmitted infection. Gates denied the allegations.

"Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent," Gates told 9 News Australia. "The email is false. I don’t know what his thinking was there. Was he trying to attack me in some way?"

Gates added: "Every minute I spent with him, I regret, and I apologize that I did that."

The tech founder also denied ever visiting Epstein's island.

"I never went to the island, I never met any women," he told the outlet. "And so, the more that comes out, the more clear it’ll be that, although the time was a mistake, it had nothing to do with that kind of behavior."

Later that month, Gates discussed Epstein during a Gates Foundation company town hall.

"It was a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein," Gates said, per a recording obtained by The Wall Street Journal. "I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made."

Gates maintained that he never did or witnessed anything "illicit" while spending time with Epstein.

"To be clear, I never spent any time with victims, the women around him," he alleged.

A Gates Foundation spokesperson told the outlet that Gates holds town halls with his staff twice a year, adding that he "spoke candidly, addressing several questions in detail, and took responsibility for his actions" during the meeting.

Joy Behar

Joy Behar addressed her own appearance in the files during a February 2026 episode of The View.

"That list has a lot of crazy names on it. It’s almost a way to muddy the waters," she said during the show's Hot Topics segment. "So you say Whoopi [Goldberg’s] on the list and so am I, I think. We’re on the list because we were at a party or a wedding or something that somebody [else] might’ve been [at]. That’s what I found out."

Behar continued: "I was at [Donald] Trump‘s wedding to Marla [Maples]. Maybe Epstein was there too? Who knows! That means that I’m not guilty, obviously, but these other ones, how are you going to decide who’s guilty and who’s not? It’s very tricky."

Gigi Hadid

Gigi Hadid responded to questions surrounding her name in the files after an Instagram user slammed her for not speaking about the issue.

Replying to the comment in March 2026, the model wrote: "Made me sick to my stomach."

"Horrible to read someone you’ve never met speak about you that way," she continued. "Especially in this context. Never in my life met the monster - to me it was so obvious, in that email chain, he tried to take responsibility for people’s careers in order to manipulate his victims (in this case, whoever was emailing him questions about my career) … who never saw the work he claimed he’d get them."

Hadid explained that she initially chose not to comment because she did not want attention diverted from Epstein's victims.

"I didn’t comment bc I don’t want to take away from the stories of the real victims of his; but your comment made me realize maybe it’s not clear - and it’s important to let you know - I grew up privileged, yes. But my parents protected me and taught me the value of hard work, the same hard work that got them to this country and gave them careers."

Hadid described being named in the files as "disturbing," concluding: "And I want to state unequivocally that I have never had any affiliation with that disgusting human being."

Making her acting debut in the upcoming series, Love Island host Maya Jama stepped away from her usual ITV dating show aesthetic in favor of a striking, high-fashion presentation. The 32-year-old television personality turned heads along the green carpet in a daring black leather outfit worn without a bra.

Her floor-length ensemble made a bold statement, constructed with narrow panels of studded black leather that glimmered under the venue lights. The revealing dress highlighted her silhouette with a halter-neck design, thick straps across the chest, a delicate waist belt, and a sleek pencil skirt.

To complete the style, the host wore her long dark hair in a pin-straight middle part while keeping her makeup refined with a luminous base, subtle eye shadow, and nude lips. During the event, the star also showed off her playful side by taking a swing at an arcade punching bag inside the venue, raising her arms in celebration after earning a high score on the machine.

Social media reactions split over the revealing style

Following her appearance at the event, the presenter posted a series of images from the night on her personal account.

She captioned the post: “The gentlemen premier last night🖤Series 2 out now 👀 my lil acting debut, hope you love it !”

Supporters quickly flooded the comment section to praise her red carpet presence, with one fan writing: “Absolutely unreal proud of you 😍😍😍😍😍”

Another complimentary user added: “One of the most beautuful women, we have in the UK!”

The response on X was far more critical, as several users took issue with the risky outfit choice. One critic commented: “Is there anything worse that a reality idiot attention seeker”

A second user voiced similar frustration, posting: “Why do these type of women always have to be half naked? It looks so uncomfortable. Does she really need to do this now she's forged out a decent career?”

Stars react to royal casting rumors

The London event also brought questions regarding potential future casting choices for the series, including speculation that Meghan Markle might join the show for a third season. Leading man Theo James dismissed the claims during an interview with the Press Association.

He said: "I think it's spurious rumors. I think she'd fit in well because she's actually from part of the royal family, but no, I think the practicalities of that are impossible."

Fellow cast member Ray Winstone, who plays drug empire patriarch Robert "Bobby" Glass, also addressed the ongoing rumors surrounding the show's future.

He said: "I don't even know if I'm doing (the third season)."

If you cast your mind back to 2012, you might remember that the Hollywood stars shared the screen in the romantic comedy-drama Silver Linings Playbook as eventual couple Pat and Tiffany.

The pair also starred in American Hustle as married couple Irving and Rosalyn Rosenfeld, as well as a couple in 2014's Serena, further feeding into the want from fans for them to end up together in real life.

Following all the talk, Cooper was forced to come out and reveal whether their chemistry on set translated to real-life romance.

It was none other than radio host Howard Stern who posed the question to The Hangover star, who was quick to shut down rumors.

Bradley Cooper on relationship with Jennifer Lawrence

In an interview on The Howard Stern Show for 2015 film Burnt, the host asked: "What is going on there? Jennifer Lawrence. You're doing another movie with her. Is she becoming the woman you have the most chemistry with? What is going on?"

Cooper answered: "It's due to (director) David O. Russell; that's what's happening. We did Silver Linings Playbook together. We got along great."

"Do you think because of all of these movies that you've been in with Jennifer Lawrence, I guess the question has to be answered, when are you two going to have sex?" Stern asked candidly.

He added: "Never? You said she's too young," as Stern mentioned the pair's 15-year age difference.

"I said that once on a red carpet just as a diffuse thing," Cooper recealed. "And then it became a thing because the girl I was seeing [Suki Waterhouse] was as young as she was."

The actor said of their platonic connection that 'it just didn't happen', and that he would 'never' sleep with her, as 'it's not the way we are together.'

He isn't alone in feeling this way, as Lawrence also hit back at speculation in 2014 by telling People: "No sex!"

Unfortunately for fans who ever shipped them together, nothing happened at the time, and over a decade on, nothing has developed.

Jennifer Lawrence opened up on sex scenes

More recently, Lawrence spoke about Waterhouse's current partner, Robert Pattinson, whom she starred alongside in Die My Love.

The pair acted in some intimate scenes together, as Lawrence spoke about they how didn't need an intimacy coordinator while shooting with him.

She explained in 2025: “We did not have [an intimacy coordinator], or maybe we did but we didn’t really… I felt really safe with Rob,

“He is not pervy and very in love with Suki Waterhouse. We mostly were just talking about our kids and relationships.”

Lawrence also clarified that there "was never any weird like, ‘Does he think I like him?’” dynamic between them.

She went on to say that if there had been “a little bit of that,” she likely would have wanted an intimacy coordinator involved.

The SNL alumnus has dated his fair share of celebrities over the years, most recently the mother of his daughter, British model Elsie Hewitt.

It feels like the 32-year-old has been around for an age, but he only really broke into the public eye in 2014, when he was introduced as the youngest-ever SNL cast member.

But the comedian has made his fair share of projects since, such as Big Time Adolescence and The King of Staten Island.

Despite some small successes in film, it's the actor's dating history that regularly makes headlines, with former partners Kardashian and Grande making public comments about his manhood.

Kim Kardashian on Pete Davidson's size

Davidson dated Kardashian for nine months between 2021 and 2022, even appearing in a season of The Kardashians.

After sparking rumors with a smooch during a sketch on SNL, they went Instagram official months later and were seen on the red carpet, including the Met Gala.

The pair ultimately called it a day, despite the reality star once describing Pete as "literally the best human being I’ve ever met."

Speaking on The Kardashians, the mom-of-four recalled how she met Pete: "Okay, you guys have stalked me long enough, I’ll finally answer you. This is how it went down with Pete.

"I did SNL, and then when we kissed in the scene, it was just a vibe. And I was like, 'Oh shit. Maybe I just need to try something different."

After he didn't show up at the afterparty, she called an SNL producer to get his number, explaining: "I texted him. I wasn’t even thinking like, 'Oh my god, I’m gonna be in a relationship with him.' I was just thinking, 'Heard about this BDE (Big D**k Energy), need to get out there.' I was just basically DTF (Down to F**k)."

She then bizarrely linked their intimate time to her grandmother, saying: "When I turned 40, everyone said it’s the best sex of your life. Grandma kept on telling me, '40 is the best sex.'

"And I was like 'Okay, I’m ready.' And so far..." Kim winked and laughed, which suggested that he was living up to expectations.

But this wasn't the first time that she and Pete had gotten intimate because of her grandmother, as she also revealed in 2022: "Pete and I were staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel last weekend, and we were sitting in front of the fireplace, just talking for hours, and I was like, 'My grandma told me that you really live life when you have sex in front of the fireplace,' and so we had sex in front of the fireplace in honor of you."

Ariana Grande's awkward tweet about Pete Davidson's manhood

An infamous tweet from the '7 Rings' artist is still remembered today, as Grande responded to a fan who asked: "How long is Pete?" (Meaning the song, obviously. But also... not.)

"OH AS IN THE INTERLUDE NOT AS IN... ANYWAY," the fan followed up.

But Grande leaned into the joke, replying: "Like 10 inches?... Oh f***... I mean... like a lil over a minute."

Social media users lost their minds, with fans loving the candid response from the singer, who ultimately only dated Davidson for five months in 2018.

Davidson responded to this tweet later, saying in a SNL skit in 2020: "I don’t like that she talked all that s*** for my p*nis.

"Everything is huge to her. Why would she tell everyone that I have a huge p*nis? So that every girl who sees my d*** for the rest of my life is disappointed," he joked.

While the pair have shared various moments of their journey with fans, Tay recently sat down for an open conversation about the personal challenges that have accompanied her pregnancy.

Appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper, Tay spoke candidly about how her pregnant body has impacted her sex life and her relationship.

During the episode, Tay opened up about how her physical transformation altered her self-perception and impacted intimate moments with her husband.

She shared how difficult it has been to navigate intimacy while dealing with sudden physical changes and personal body image struggles.

Body image struggles and expectations

The podcast episode revealed a candid look into how physical changes during pregnancy affected Tay's confidence and expectations. When asked if her experience with her body differed from what she anticipated, Tay admitted that the weight gain took her by surprise.

"Oh, yeah. Everything. I've already gained 35 pounds. I didn't think I was going to gain that much weight. Because my mom was one of those people that you could not even tell she was pregnant and had a great pregnancy," Tay explained, adding that she struggled with comparing herself to those standards.

She further noted how jarring the physical adjustment was, stating, "I think there's so much comparison and I still do it now. I mean, obviously I have a better relationship with it because the more I've been open and talking about it, the more I feel better about it, but I wasn't expecting to almost not even fit in Taylor's jeans."

Tay also addressed comments from outsiders regarding her physical appearance and the myth of the pregnancy glow. "I also am kind of struggling with the 'glowing' thing. I feel better with it now, but when someone's like, 'You're glowing.' I'm like, 'No, I just have gained 30 pounds, and my face is fuller,'" she shared.

Intimacy and overcoming negative self-talk

The physical shifts naturally carried over into Tay's intimate life with her husband. She shared how she reached out to friends during the early stages of her pregnancy to see if they were experiencing similar feelings regarding intimacy.

"I've been trying to be naked more in front of Taylor because I just need to accept it because I think it's also hard to... I remember I texted my girlfriends in the first trimester when we were like maybe starting to feel better but not, and I was like, is anyone having sex?" Tay revealed, seemingly implying that she and her famous husband were not having sex amid her pregnancy.

Despite the vulnerabilities that came with her changing body, Tay emphasized that learning to reframe her mindset and rely on her husband's support has been vital.

"I honestly just have to be like, brain, shut up, Taylor loves me and doesn't think these thoughts that I think about myself," she said.

The mom-of-three finalized her divorce with Sacha Baron Cohen in June 2025, after over 20 years together.

Fisher has seemingly been enjoying the single life, opening up about a specific guy she was seeing before he gave her the 'ick'.

The 50-year-old opened up to fans about her dating tips on the Overheard Happy Hour TikTok account, with the video sparking conversation among viewers.

Fisher was with fellow actresses Michelle Buteau, Anna Faris, and Leslie Mann in the clip, as they found her story quite humorous.

After announcing that she had discovered a 'dating ick' fairly recently, though it has divided opinion online.

What was Isla Fisher's ick?

The Wedding Crashers actress explained: “I liked somebody. His dog ran away and he chased his dog,

“But instead of chasing upright, he ran low with his hands outstretched - like a cartoon.”

She said that seeing him do that made her cringe, and that as time went on, she lost interest in him romantically and sexually.

Eventually, she admitted: “By the time he caught the dog, he had lost the p***y,” and she wasn't talking about cats.

The group was then in bits as Faris tried to imitate what the man did by running around the room with her arms stretched out.

Fisher didn't reveal any more information about the man, apart from the fact that he found it fairly difficult to catch his dog.

Fisher and Cohen's divorce

Back in April 2024, the couple took to social media, announcing their separation with a snap of the pair in matching tennis outfits.

The statement read: "After a long tennis match lasting over twenty years, we are finally putting our racquets down," adding that they had privately filed for separation in 2023 and had been undergoing the process.

They also added in a separate statement that they are 'proud of all we’ve achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children.'

Fisher opened up on divorce

Back in November 2025, Fisher spoke about their 'challenging' divorce, telling Elle Decoration: “When it all arrived, I did have a bit of a cry because this was my first time as a single woman, being in a home of my own.

“Trying to create a new life from a grassroots level, at least emotionally, has been challenging, but deeply rewarding,” she said.

“I’m enjoying this new version of my life.”

The former couple shares three children: daughters Olive, 18, and Elula, 16, and a son named Montgomery, 11.

The woman, whose real name is Océane, went viral in the summer, after a video of her dancing while on holiday amassed millions of views across social media.

'Red bikini girl' viral moment

Océane, from France, had been captured enjoying herself at a foam party in Spain, with her looks and attention-grabbing red bikini raising heart rates on both TikTok and Instagram.

After shooting to celebrity status, Océane saw her following grow from 100 followers to verging on 200,000 in a matter of weeks.

Discussing her viral moment exclusively with VT, Océane said: “I never really considered myself to be particularly beautiful, so seeing so many people appreciate my personality made me realize that what people connected with wasn’t just my appearance, but my natural personality and spontaneity.”

With PR companies queuing at the door to take her on as a client, Océane ultimately signed with a French communications agency.

“This exposure has already led me to sign with a French communications agency, and I’m really excited about the opportunities that could come from it,” she admitted.

Red bikini girl makes surprise move she claimed she would never do

Revealing what she hoped the future would hold for her career, Océane shared that her “biggest dream is to become a DJ” and that she hoped she could use the platform to “build a real career in music and open many other exciting opportunities.”

When asked about any potential plans to move into the OnlyFans and adult content sector, Océane was clear in her response: “I have absolutely no intention of joining OnlyFans.”

She added: “It doesn’t match my values or the image I want to have for myself and my family. I know there is a lot of money to be made there, but that’s simply not the path I want to take.”

Yet, in a recent turn of events, Océane, who can be found online as aora.dj on social media, has created an OnlyFans account, charging fans $4.99 a month on the subscription-based platform.

While this move may surprise some, during a previous interview with VT, Océane revealed that she had been in receipt of several “huge offers”.

“Yes, I’ve received hundreds of inappropriate messages,” Océane claimed.

“Many people asked me to create an OnlyFans account. Others offered huge amounts of money for photos of my feet or private videos. Some offers were worth hundreds of thousands of euros.”

However, she remained defiant in her response to those requests.

“I politely refuse all of them. Just because people see me having fun in a bikini doesn’t mean that’s who I am. I love enjoying life, laughing and having fun, but I also respect myself, and I know exactly where I want to take my career.”

The Euphoria actress is kicking off her birthday month with a daring campaign for her lingerie brand SYRN that has left very little to the imagination.

Ahead of turning 29 on September 12, the 28-year-old star unveiled early access to the "Birthday Boobs" collection with a series of playful kitchen-themed photographs and a revealing promotional video.

"Early access to @syrn birthday boobs collection available now," she captioned her Instagram post.

The gallery included a shot of the actress wearing pink floral lingerie while playfully pulling down her skirt.

Another showed Sweeney topless while using a birthday cake to cover her breasts, while a separate image featured her wearing black lingerie and licking cake from her fingers.

The latest photographs quickly attracted praise from fans in the comments.

"Absolutely breathtaking," one user said. A second chimed in: "Outstanding photos."

Another wrote: "She knows exactly what she's doing, I love this woman."

SYRN's official account also joined in, commenting: "Bday month has officially begun."

The positive response to the gallery comes after another, more explicit promotional video from Sweeney attracted some very different reactions.

In the clip, the Anyone But You actress appeared almost nude, using two birthday cakes to cover her breasts.

She was also seen licking icing from the cake and, during a camera close-up, slapping flour onto her behind.

Euphoria viewers may find the combination of food and provocative imagery familiar following scenes involving Sweeney during the show's third season.

While the campaign didn't go quite as far as her character's OnlyFans storyline in the HBO drama, the video also featured Sweeney crawling on all fours.

Video sparks comparisons to Euphoria

Some viewers were taken aback by the footage, with one asking in the comments: "Why is she acting like a p*rnstar?"

Others immediately connected the campaign to Sweeney's Euphoria character, Cassie Howard.

One person wrote: "She is Cassie in real life," while another joked: "Nate still needs the money I see."

A particularly enthusiastic comment attracted more than 10,000 likes after a fan asked: "OF release soon?" alongside an eyes emoji.

Sweeney calls new collection 'a love note'

The "Birthday Boobs" range represents a first for SYRN.

It is the brand's first-ever embroidery collection, featuring chiffon, bows, and intricate stitching across bras, thongs, camisoles, matching sets, and garter belts.

Sweeney said the collection was inspired by her own romantic side.

"I'm a lovergirl at heart, so of course I wanted my birthday collection to be romantic," she said in a brand statement. "It's like a love note you get to wear."

The Housemaid actress also revealed that she added a personal message to the embroidery itself.

"If you look closely, you can see my handwritten 'I really love you' woven into the embroidery," she shared.

The birthday-themed collection arrives ahead of Sweeney turning 29 on September 12 and is now available through SYRN's website.

The star commemorating the late country star, who died of a short illness on August 25 at age 80, became a meeting point for fans to pay their respects by laying flowers and playing her music.

However, a second tragedy has struck Dolly fans as a spokesperson for the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that her star had been damaged.

Dolly's star is being repaired to provide a place to mourn

Ana Martinez told the Independent: “The star was scheduled for repair for cracks as of last week. A fan went to the star yesterday and reported on social media that the star was vandalized with many scratches. From the photo she posted, it does appear the star was vandalized with scratches.”

She reassured mourning fans by adding: “The flowers had been removed yesterday morning in order to do the scheduled repair on the star today. This repair was set up late last week, and the crew is currently at the star making said repairs. The repairs are currently ongoing and are done by the Hollywood Historic Trust, which maintains and repairs the Walk of Fame stars. The star will cure and will be polished on Friday for fans to enjoy.”

The late star has already been laid to rest by her family in a small private funeral at Woodlawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Nashville, Tennessee. She was buried beside her husband of 60 years, who she wrote so many songs about, Carl Dean, who died in March last year.

Dolly had so many more things she wanted to do before her time came

The news of Dolly’s death came as a shock to the world, as just days before her passing was announced by her nephew Bryan Seaver in an Instagram video, she had told the world she had “so many things” that she still wanted to achieve.

In the chatty video shared days before her death, Parton said: “As I’ve shared in video messages throughout the past year, I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over Carl.

"You know, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to manage something like this.

"Back in the early ’80s, I was down for several months with female issues, and I was struggling with my weight at the time too, so it’s not like I haven’t been through hard times with my health."

“But I think because we live in a 24/7 world with social media, everything gets magnified in ways it wasn’t years ago. I used to joke that I was the Queen of the Tabloids, but now I guess I can say I’m the Queen of Social Media AI! Seriously, though, even though I’m still healin’, I’m still workin’!

"You know me - as I’ve often said - I’ve dreamed myself into a corner and I still have so many things I want to achieve, so I’m gonna keep on working as long as I can to see everything come to life.”

However, paparazzi photos from a quiet moment away from the crowd appeared to capture an argument between the spouses.

In the pictures, a glamorous Hailey, who gave birth to the couple’s son Jack in 2024, was spotted waving her arms around passionately and pointing while having a heated conversation with her husband.

The pictures went viral sparking fans to question the couple's relationship

Justin, wearing sunglasses and remaining rather calm during the interaction, stood quietly before the pair parted ways and walked in opposite directions.

The dramatic picture of the couple about to celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary quickly sent social media users into a frenzy, with fans speculating whether the long-time couple was having a serious argument in front of fellow wedding guests.

Leading body language expert Judi James has spoken out to reveal the "truth" behind the awkward exchange.

Analysing the pictures, James noted that while the scene undeniably created an "impression of tension or drama," it does not necessarily mean the couple was involved in a direct fight with one another.

She explained: "The way that Hailey looks back at her husband gives that impression,” highlighting the physical cues that initially raised eyebrows online.

Picking apart Justin’s casual stance, the expert pointed out that the 'Sorry' singer had a "gently hunched posture" which made him appear cold and reserved.

The expert noted that Hailey may have been agitated about something else entirely

The expert added: "The way his arms hang slightly in front of his torso makes him look less motivated and less positive here.”

Despite the stark difference in their physical energy, James pointed out that Hailey’s expressive hand movements were not necessarily aggressive or aimed specifically at her husband.

James revealed: “Hailey has been waving her arms and pointing, although not at him, so there is no signal of direct conflict.”

In fact, she suggested that rather than arguing with Justin, Hailey may have simply been recounting a dramatic story or expressing frustration about a completely unrelated scenario.

Just hours after the rumours went viral, Justin shared a series of affectionate behind-the-scenes selfies with Hailey from the wedding festivities on his Instagram, showing the couple smiling in an attempt to quash the rumours.
