Howard Stern is apparently joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he accidentally revealed on his SiriusXM show.

During a break in his show, the radio icon — who didn't realize his microphone was still on — let slip that he's part of Marvel's upcoming "Doctor Doom" project, which has yet to be officially announced. 

The bombshell occurred as Howard spoke with his show's producer about booking potential guests for the show. He then said his schedule was booked solid for the summer. 

"Are you working this summer?" co-host Robin Quivers asked Howard, to which he replied, "I told you, I'm going to do 'Doctor Doom.'"

While this would be a major role for many people, Howard admitted that he's not exactly enjoying the experience. "Believe me,  I'm f****** miserable about it," he said.

During the hot-mic moment, which TMZ obtained, the "King of all Media" told his crew that he reached out to Robert Downey Jr. for some acting tips, and he also asked his producer if he had "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau's number.

Little is known about "Doctor Doom," including whether it will be a film or a Disney+ series. There is also mystery surrounding which character Howard will play in the project. 

Steven Tyler is out of rehab after a stay of more than a month.

He's doing "amazingly well," a source told TMZ on Friday, July 1.

On May 24, Aerosmith announced that its frontman had checked into rehab.

"As many of you know, our beloved brother Steven has worked on his sobriety for many years. After foot surgery to prepare for the stage and the necessity of pain management during the process, he has recently relapsed and voluntarily entered a treatment program to concentrate on his health and recovery," the announcement said. 

TMZ said the "Dude Looks Like a Lady" singer actually stayed longer than the 30 days he was supposed to complete in order "to make sure he felt good."

Following the stint, Steven, 74, reportedly looks as good as ever, as he's at a healthy weight and his skin looks well hydrated. 

Although his post-rehab life looks bright, Steven and his team are realistic and aware that he is battling a lifelong addiction.

Steven is expected to be ready to go by the time the band takes the stage again in September. 

Suffice to say, Dave Coulier never expected his "Full House" costar Lori Loughlin to end up with a criminal record.

"If you would have said at the beginning of 'Full House,' who's the one person who's going to end up going to jail, Lori was last on the list," he told E! News recently. "Lori is my best girlfriend in life. We make each other laugh really hard, through the tough times and the fun times."

The comedian knows that "everyone has their opinion" about the "When Calls the Heart" actress, but insisted she's a "wonderful human being" despite her life's "strange turn."

"There's a lot of untold story underneath that I don't think a lot of people know," he said. "We all make mistakes."

Lori and her husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli, were accused of paying $500,000 to get their two daughters — Olivia Jade and Isabella — accepted into the University of Southern California after falsely designating them as crew team recruits. The two eventually struck a plea deal and Lori served two months in prison, whereas her husband served five months in prison. 

Lori's "Full House" family has supported her through it all. Prior to Bob Saget's passing, he said he sent her a text that read, "I love you and thinking of you, that's all."

"You know when it gets down to it, there's so much going on and so many people have gone through so much and you know … if you love somebody then you have to make that, decision and [ask yourself] is this something that causes me not to love a person and I love her," the later comedian told Page Six. "She's a sweetheart."

Bret Michaels is "working on being back" after he was hospitalized and forced to cancel a Nashville concert at the very last second. 

"I was truly fired up to get on stage in the music city and perform, but due to an unknown complication & following hospitalization, it was not possible," he tweeted on Friday, July 1. "I send my deepest apologies for being unable to rock the stage tonight!! I'm working on being back 100% very soon & hope you rocked hard with my friends Motley [Crüe]/[Def] Leppard/Joan [Jett & The Blackhearts] and Classless Act!!!"

Bret and Poison were set to perform on Thursday night, but the singer quickly fell ill just before set time, TMZ reported. The band members told the crowd that they would not be performing, claiming the "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" singer had a bad reaction to medication and was being taken to the hospital.

While the vast majority of fans were understanding, others were upset about the 11th hour cancellation.

Bret's medical issues have been well-documented over the years. The rocker, who has type 1 diabetes, had a brain hemorrhage in 2010. In 2011, he had surgery to repair a hole in his heart following a miniature stroke. Then, in 2014, Bret had kidney surgery. 

Singer/influencer Olivia O'Brien claimed that she briefly dated Pete Davidson but found out it was over via a text message. 

The "Saturday Night Live" alum apparently moved on to "Bridgerton" actress Phoebe Dynevor.

"He texted me and was like, 'I'm seeing someone else. So, like, I can't,'" she said on Wednesday's episode of the "BFFs" podcast.

The blink-and-you-missed-it tryst between the two occurred in 2020 and barely made a blip in the radar. Olivia seemed surprised to be speaking about Pete, saying the relationship happened "a long time ago" and didn't think "anyone knew about that."

Asked about his appeal, Olivia, 22, said, "He's hot and he's really funny. And he's really sweet. He's a really sweet guy."

Despite the unceremonious text message split, the "Josslyn" singer insisted that Pete is a "nice guy" and gets annoyed when "guys don't get" his appeal. Women, she implied, understand why Pete has long been a hot commodity.

She might be correct, as many women have said glowing things about the funnyman. Marisa Tomei told Rolling Stone of her "King of Staten Island" co-star, "He's unfiltered, but very sensitive. So he's almost an irresistible combination. And he's good-looking." Kate Beckinsale and Kaley Cuoco have both praised Pete over the years, too.

Although Pete and Phoebe never publicly confirmed their romance, they were photographed several times together, even attending a Wimbledon match last July. They split a month later, and "The King of Staten Island" star began dating Kim Kardashian in fall 2021. After a recent episode of "The Kardashians," a fans tweeted, "Kimberly is in LOVE lmao it's so cute." Khloe Kardashian responded, "Isn't it??? She is in LOOOOOVVVEEEE."

It's been one year since Bill Cosby was sent home from prison, and new video from that day shows the disgraced comedian detailing how he found out about his release. 

During his ride home from SCI Phoenix, Cosby's publicist recorded their conversation. 

"It's starting to hit," Cosby told Andrew V. Wyatt in the newly released one-year-old video. "I was in the bed, in the cot, and they opened the door because it's one o'clock, and about four or five guys yelling, 'Bill, get up! You're going home!' And they put the shoes, my shower shoes on the wrong foot, and I said wait, and they said, 'No, you don't understand, you're free!' And I said, 'What is this, Juneteenth?' But man, when I left, murderers, rapists, bank robbers, wife beaters, all clapping."

On June 30, 2021, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned the comedian's felony sexual assault conviction nearly three years into his three-to-10-year prison sentence. In 2018, he was found guilty of drugging and assaulting Andrea Constand, a Temple University employee, at his home in 2004. 

According to the state's Supreme Court judges last year, Cosby should not have faced a criminal trial because a previous district attorney had years earlier agreed not to charge the man once known as America's Dad after he was deposed in a civil lawsuit that Andrea brought in 2005 in which he gave potentially incriminating testimony. 

The Supreme Court also disagreed with the trial judge's decision to let five other women testify to prove a pattern of abuse. In layman's terms, the high court said Cosby's rights were violated.

During the ride home, Cosby told his rep, "I'm a free man, you know." He later said he needed to "rest" because his heart was "heavy."

Prior to the lengthy video, Andrew had teased its release. He also posted a up-to-date photo of the man once known as Inmate NN7687, which "The Cosby Show" alum reposted.

"After two years and 10 months fighting for my life and the truth – one year of freedom home with my family sure looks good on me (At least that's what my wife says)," Cosby captioned the  photo. 

The anniversary of the release comes just a week after a jury found Cosby liable in a civil case brought by Judy Huth, a woman who claimed he sexually assaulted her as a 17-year-old in the 1970. She was awarded $500,000 in damages.

The woman alleged that Cosby molested her in a bedroom at the Playboy Mansion.

"I was elated," Judy said of the verdict. "It has been so many years, so many tears."

Cosby's rep said the former actor was happy with the verdict. "What happened today wasn't a victory, because they didn't get the punitive damages," the spokesman said. 

Unable to walk or form sentences, Danny Bonaduce was a shell of himself after coming down with a mystery illness earlier this year. He's still at 100%.

The former "Partridge Family" star was first alerted to his health situation after his wife, Amy, noticed his strange speech pattern in May. From there, his symptoms only got worse.

"I couldn't walk at all," he told "Good Morning America" this week. "I couldn't do anything like that. She looked really nervous. And she said, 'You're not saying words, you're not speaking English,' which of course is preposterous to me."

"We call an ambulance and [it] took me to the hospital where I remained for the first five days and remember very little of it," he said.

After his health became more stable, the actor was determined to find out what was wrong with him, but doctors were flummoxed.

"I couldn't walk," he said. "I couldn't keep my balance. I slurred really badly. I was afraid of everything. I was afraid of my stairs for God's sake — I was hoping for a diagnosis but did not get one."

Doctors, however, were able to rule out a stroke. 

"There was nothing that said this was gonna happen," he added. "Take time to consider your health and what you're doing. Pay attention."

Although his health remains a mystery, Danny is well enough to return to his Seattle radio show, which he did on Monday, June 27.

"My brain is still a little fuzzy but that's never stopped me — or the people who hire me," he joked on Instagram before returning to the airwaves. 

As his family size increases, Luke Combs is trying to get smaller.

The country superstar is opening up about his weight, indicating he's ready to slim down for the sake of his newborn son, who he and his wife welcomed this month.

"Having a kid has messed up my head on this thing in the best way," Luke told Zane Lowe on "Apple Music 1" on Tuesday, June 28. "I want to be around … I'm fine right now, my cholesterol and my blood pressure is fine 'cause I'm a younger guy, but by the time I'm 45, it's not going to be because of the shape that I'm in."

The "Beautiful Crazy" singer said his weight has always "bugged" him, but he's paying more attention to it now that he's a father. 

"Especially when you're younger, you're like, man I just got like a horrible genetic dice roll on this thing," he continued, adding that his diet is also to blame. "It's like, not that I don't pig out, 'cause I do pig out. I'm not trying to say it's not my fault because it is in a lot of ways [it is.]"

Luke likens losing weight to a day on the links.

"I know what to do and how to do it, and I hate to keep going back to golf, but when I go play golf I can hit a good golf shot, I've done it a bunch of times, I can't do it consistently, and my relationship with food has been the same thing," he said. "I know what to do and how to do it and why to do it and when to do it."

The CMA Entertainer of the Year said he's still "comfortable" in his own skin, but he's affected by how people look at him. 

"Sometimes I think, man I don't want people to think of me in this way where it's like, this guy doesn't care about himself," he said. 

Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

A very famous, highly-celebrated chef is opening up about his experience cooking for Victoria Beckham, claiming she didn't exactly want to spice up her dietary life. 

Dani Garcia, a three Michelin star chef, recalled Victoria accompanying her husband, David Beckham, to the June 2019 wedding of Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio in Spain. Dani was hired to cook for the wedding.

"It was very strange. Victoria Beckham changed the whole menu," the chef said while on Spanish TV's popular "El Hormiguero" show. "It was very sad because when you make such an effort, not just me and my team but the bride and groom and everyone else to create a unique menu."

The former Spice Girl wasn't enthralled by the menu, it seems. 

"Hers was totally different and just based around vegetables. And then there were some odd things that I've never seen in my life," Dani said. "She had coconut water, all the time, a bowl of mints and then on the other side hydroalcoholic gel which is very famous now but back then wasn't because the Covid pandemic hadn't started."

He concluded, "It was complicated giving Victoria her menu that night."

Not long after the comments, a source close to the fashion icon came to her defense. 

"This makes a great story but isn't fair or accurate – the most Victoria would have done when asked about dietary requirements is ask for some plain fish and vegetables," the source said. 

Victoria's stringent diet is well known and hardly disputed. She once said her favorite meal is whole grain toast with salt.

David spoke about his wife's relationship with food just months ago on the River Che Table 4 podcast. 

"I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I'm eating something great I want everyone to try it," he said. "Unfortunately I'm married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years. Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that."
