Cancer fight

Brian Austin Green shared an update on his longtime friend and former "Beverly Hills, 90210" co-star Shannen Doherty this week after he was revealed as the singer under the Crash Test Dummy costume on "The Masked Singer Australia" on Sept. 11. Shannen, 52, announced in 2020 that her breast cancer had returned as stage 4 after a period of remission. In June 2023, she shared in an emotional Instagram post that the disease had spread to her brain. It's now reportedly terminal, but that hasn't stopped her from fighting, as friends like Brian have made clear over the past few years.

"She's an incredibly tough person," he told the Herald Sun on Sept. 12 when asked about Shannen. "If there's anyone who could put up a real fight to cancer, she's one of them. It's not an easy situation, obviously, but I love her to death." Shannen was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015.

Tour postponed

Aerosmith is putting the brakes on their farewell tour as Steven Tyler recovers from vocal cord-related bleeding, the singer announced on Sept. 11.

"I'm heartbroken to say I have received strict doctor's orders not to sing for the next 30 days," the singer, 75, shared on Instagram. "I sustained vocal cord damage during Saturday's show that led to subsequent bleeding. We'll need to postpone a few dates so that we can come back and give you the performance you deserve." Steven and fellow rockers Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton and Brad Whitford announced they were hitting the road one last time in May 2023 "after 50 years, 10 world tours, and playing for over 100 million fans." The tour now runs through Feb. 29, 2024, ending in Cleveland.

Bruce Springsteen, 73, has also postponed a number of dates on his fall schedule due to health concerns. The Boss announced on Sept. 6 that he was suffering from symptoms of peptic ulcer disease and would be taking some time off to recuperate. DailyMail.com later reported that Bruce's family and inner circle had been concerned about his health and urged him to recover fully before returning to the stage.

Ketamine cleanse

Pete Davidson is back on stage after his latest rehab stint in June — and he's got plenty of material about his past drug use.

"I am fresh out of rehab, everyone. I got that post-rehab glow. Seventh time's the charm!" joked the "Saturday Night Live" alum during a standup performance in Atlantic City on Sept. 10, according to People magazine.

Later in the set, Pete admitted that he took the dissociative anesthetic drug ketamine — which is often referred to as "Special K" — every day for four years straight, including when he attended Aretha Franklin's funeral in 2018. Though Pete joked that using the drug "was magical" — "one time I got the Wiggles to mesh with 'Schindler's List,'" he said — he also spoke more seriously about getting clean and sober.

With his 30th birthday just around the corner on Nov. 16, the actor and comic said he's determined you "can't do drugs in your 30s" because "it's not cute anymore." From 30 on, he added, "you're just a drug addict."

Sorry not sorry

After she was accused of "cyberbullying" Nicole Kidman with a jab at the star's appearance on Instagram, Amy Schumer apologized — by trolling Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. The snark began on Sept. 11 when Amy spotted a photo of Nicole watching the U.S. Open from her seat in the stands. The Australian star looked admittedly rigid in the candid shot, prompting Amy to quip, "This how human sit." The joke didn't land well with fans, though, and Amy soon deleted the post amid claims of mean-spirited and unnecessary bullying. She then returned to the platform with an apology. Sort of.

"I want to apologize to all the people I hurt posting a photo of Nicole Kidman and alluding to her being an alien," Amy wrote in a post she later deleted, according to Entertainment Weekly. She went on to riff on news Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote letters to a judge in support of their former co-star Danny Masterson ahead of his recent sentencing on two rape convictions. "I will be asking the cast of 'That '70s Show' to write letters advocating for my forgiveness. #takingtimetoheal," Amy teased.

Ashton and Mila have said on social media that while they "support victims," Danny's family asked them to write character letters about the actor "to represent the person that we knew for 25 years so that the judge could take that into full consideration relative to the sentencing." Danny was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Sept. 7.

Crossing the picket lines

Drew Barrymore is facing backlash for moving ahead with a new season of her eponymous talk show — which employs union writers — amid Hollywood's writers and actors strikes. "I own this choice," Drew said in her show's defense on Instagram on Sept. 11, as members of her show's writing team were photographed picketing outside CBS in New York City and other talk shows continue to air re-runs. "We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind," she continued, indicating "The Drew Barrymore Show" won't cover projects that have been "struck" or nixed by striking union writers and actors.

The Writers Guild of America (WGA), however, said in a statement "any writing" on the production is in direct "violation of WGA strike rules," posting on X, formerly Twitter, that it's a "WGA covered, struck show that is planning to return without its writers." Actors are questioning Drew's decision, too. "Who is she going to interview? No actors can promote anything," wrote "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" actor and SAG-AFTRA union member Benjamin Siemon in the comments section on the WGA post.

Over on Instagram, meanwhile, Drew said, in part, that her show "is built for sensitive times," having lunched during the pandemic. "I want to be there to provide what writers do so well, which is a way to bring us together or help us make sense of the human experience. I hope for a resolve for everyone as soon as possible," she continued. "We have navigated difficult times since we first came on air. And so I take a step forward to start season 4 once again with an astute humility."

Hollywood's writers went on strike against the major studios in May 2023, followed in July by actors and performers. Both unions are calling for compensation that better reflects changes since the advent of streaming, among other demands.

Scooter's 'new life'

For weeks, rumors have swirled around the state of Scooter Braun's talent empire, with multiple outlets reporting Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande and more of his biggest pop star clients were cutting ties. In a cryptic post on Instagram on Sept. 12, Scooter seemed to allude to the changes with a quote he shared from author Brianna Wiest.

Branding the quote "perfect words," Scooter's post read: "Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It's going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It's going to cost you relationships and friends. It's going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn't matter." The quote continued: "The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You're going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you're going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you're going to be seen. All you're going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are."

In August 2023, Billboard reported Ariana had split from Scooter after working with his SB Projects management firm for a decade. That same month, People reported that the manager had become estranged from Justin, while Variety reported that Demi had ended her business relationship with Scooter. Variety also quoted an insider who said Scooter's business is being restructured as he "steps into his larger role as HYBE America CEO."

Grammy winner removed electricity, windows, doors and stairs from $57 million Malibu home, wanted to turn oceanfront property into 'bat cave'

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 30, 2023September 29, 2023

Kanye West's $57 million Malibu home was supposed to be the bomb… shelter. According to a new lawsuit filed against the rapper, Kanye wanted to remove the windows and electricity from the existing structure of his oceanfront property and turn it into a "bomb shelter from the 1910s."

The former project manager and property caretaker, Tony Saxon, is now suing Ye for unpaid wages, but the lawsuit sheds light on the bizarre design elements the rapper envisioned — much of which were deemed unsafe and didn't meet labor codes.

Kanye West allegedly ordered Tony Saxon to move large generators into the home because he didn't want to rely on electricity.

After Tony refused because he worried the generators were a fire hazard, Kanye became livid.

While firing Tony, Ye ordered him to "get the hell out" and told him he would be "considered an enemy if he did not comply," according to the complaint, which was obtained by NBC News.

"When Plaintiff refused to engage in unlawful conduct or to engage in activity that would further cause him physical injury, Mr. Ye responded: 'If you don't do what I say, you're not going to work for me, I'm not gonna be your friend anymore and you'll just see me on TV,'" the suit alleges.

Tony Saxon (pictured) claims Kanye West didn't just want to remove electricity and windows from the home — he also wanted to demolish the custom marble bathrooms, take out existing plumbing and replace the stairs with slides.

"We were going to be gutting all of that out and sort of building him a Bat Cave," Tony says, adding that he initially believed Ye wanted the home as an "art project" rather than a place to live. However, as the project progressed, it became clear that "no, he wants to live in here," Tony notes.

"[Kanye] wanted no electricity. He only wanted plants. He only wanted candles. He only wanted battery lights. And he just wanted to have everything open and dark," Tony says.

Kanye West didn't want to be a "slave" to modern technology and didn't want to be "accessible" to the government, Tony Saxon alleges in his lawsuit.

"He wants to be on a privatized Wi-Fi network," Saxon says. "He wants to have an alternate source of energy. He wants to have no doors, no windows, no fixtures, just concrete."

"You can't keep food in that house, because you had no refrigerator left," Tony explains. "You had no windows. I had sea gulls flying in."

_

According to a TMZ report, during the two-month span that Tony Saxon worked for Kanye West, the project manager essentially lived at the home and literally used a coat as makeshift bedding. After telling Ye of the "miserable" conditions, the rapper shrugged.

"Hopefully we can bury the hatchet, but I physically cannot do any more work like that anymore," Tony states in the lawsuit. "My neck and my back have been destroyed."

According to Tony's lawyer, "Ye has shown a reckless disregard toward his employees and has flouted the law in unbelievably dangerous ways throughout this entire project at the Malibu house. He continues his pattern of not paying his bills while treating workers terribly. No employee should have to suffer through the sort of working conditions Mr. Saxon was forced to endure, yet Ye showed no concern and merely wanted the work done, despite the hazardous and unsafe, not to mention illegal, actions he was trying to force the plaintiff to undertake."

_

Neighbors told TMZ that the home has been "left to rot," adding that no one has been seen working at the property in "many months."

Emmy winner who wouldn't get vaccinated felt forced to 'switch careers,' says she's now making money on OnlyFans, more news

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Sep. 30, 2023September 29, 2023

Vaccine stance repercussions

Drea de Matteo says she turned to the controversial subscription site OnlyFans because she had few other choices after losing acting jobs over her refusal to comply with COVID-19 vaccination mandates. "I know some people have said some nasty things about me having joined OnlyFans. But, you know, the way we see it in this house is mommy's a warrior, not accepting defeat," the "Sopranos" alum, 51, recently told Fox News. "I figured, 'OK, so everybody's in their underwear and being sexy on Instagram and I don't do that, but I can do that and get paid for it.' … I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner," she recalled.

Drea, who shares a 15-year-old and a 12-year-old with ex Shooter Jennings, went on to say her kids supported her decision to join the site after she felt forced to "switch careers" for refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19 when vaccination mandates were routine on sets. As a result, she said, her agent ditched her and she "almost lost" her home.

"I just don't care … I'd rather save my family than save face," she continued. The former "Sons of Anarchy" star also explained that she was "never really paid very much money for any of the jobs I've done" and often declined work in order to be with her kids when their dad was out on tour. Drea launched her OnlyFans account in August.

Despite what she had to say about switching careers, she was recently photographed shooting the upcoming film "Nonnas" with Joe Manganiello in New Jersey.

Divorce depression

Sia's 2016 divorce sent her into such a serious depression she could barely leave her bed — for years. She's since climbed out of the depression, but it contributed to a musical dry spell, the singer told Zane Lowe in a recent Apple Music 1 interview about her forthcoming release "Reasonable Woman." Due out in 2024, "Reasonable Woman" will be Sia's first full-length solo pop album in nearly eight years.

"The truth is that I had just been, every now and again, writing a song here or there for the last six, seven years. I got divorced and that really threw me for a loop," she said. "That was such a dark time that I was in bed for three years, really, really severely depressed. I couldn't really do anything for that period of time. Just little bits and pieces here and there, but it was really hard to get me out of bed. And then finally it just turned out we had enough songs to make an album, enough good ones."

Sia and filmmaker Erik Anders Lang tied the knot in 2014 before calling it quits in 2016. She married Dan Bernard in Italy earlier this year.

Network 'drama' hurt staff 'morale'

It's been a messy couple of years for CNN, and according to Anderson Cooper, that took a toll on staff. "Morale was hurt by all the drama, and that's unfortunate, but I think things feel like they are back on track," the veteran journalist said in an interview published by People magazine on Sept. 15. The CNN "drama" in question dates back to 2021 and includes a laundry list of negative headlines.

There was the firing of anchor Chris Cuomo over his involvement in his brother Andrew Cuomo's sexual misconduct defense, followed by network president Jeff Zucker's resignation amid revelations about his consensual relationship with a staffer. Chris Licht stepped in as CNN's chairman and CEO, but was soon blamed for a drop in ratings and perceived missteps such as moving Don Lemon to primetime, where Don's comments repeatedly offended viewers. After the anchor's on-air remarks about when a woman is "past her prime," Don was fired. But he attracted negative press on his way out by claiming on Twitter (now X) that he was not told "directly" about his ouster "after 17 years" with CNN. Amid headlines about the network's apparent "meltdown," Chris was ousted too.

Anderson told People Chris' successor, Mark Thompson, who's slated to take over in October, "sounds great." He also praised CNN's "extraordinary" producers and correspondents. But he admitted the shake-ups of the past few years affected CNN's staff. "It's never great to be in a place where you read the paper in the morning and there are stories about where you're working," he said.

More Danny Masterson fallout

Ashton Kutcher has stepped down from his leadership role at the anti-child-sex-abuse organization he co-founded amid backlash over his support of former co-star Danny Masterson, Time reported on Sept. 15. Ashton and his wife Mila Kunis recently apologized for writing character letters in support of their longtime co-star on "That '70s Show" ahead of his Sept. 7 sentencing on two rape convictions. Now, Ashton has resigned from Thorn, which he launched in 2009 with then-wife Demi Moore. Mila has also exited the board, according to Time.

"Victims of sexual abuse have been historically silenced and the character statement I submitted is yet another painful instance of questioning victims who are brave enough to share their experiences," Ashton said in a statement to the board of the organization, according to Time. "After my wife and I spent several days of listening, personal reflection, learning, and conversations with survivors and the employees and leadership at Thorn, I have determined the responsible thing for me to do is resign as Chairman of the Board, effectively immediately…I cannot allow my error in judgment to distract from our efforts and the children we serve."

Despite their letters of support, Danny was sentenced to 30 years to life behind bars.

Talk show defense, take 2

In a since-deleted video posted to Instagram on Sept. 15, Drew Barrymore addressed the backlash she faced for resuming production of her eponymous talk show despite the ongoing Writers Guild of America [WGA] strike. With members of her writing team picketing the show outside the CBS building in New York City, Drew looked emotional as she admitted there was "nothing I can do or say in this moment to make" it "OK" that she was starting to tape a new season without them.

"I certainly couldn't have expected this kind of attention. We aren't gonna break rules, and we will be in compliance [with WGA strike rules]. I wanted to do this because as I said, this is bigger than me, and there are other people's jobs on the line," she said.

Drew also acknowledged it's been hard to make decisions in the current climate. "I wanted to accept responsibility, and now I don't have a PR machine behind this," she continued. "My decision to go back to the show — I didn't want to hide behind people. I won't polish this with bells and whistles and publicists and corporate rhetoric. I'll just stand out there and accept and be responsible." In closing, she reiterated a previous Instagram statement about wanting to "be there for people in sensitive times," especially after the show debuted during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On Sept. 18, however — following even more backlash to her widely derided apology — Drew officially reversed her decision, announcing on social media that she decided instead to "pause the show's premiere until the strike is over."

Hollywood's writers went on strike against the major studios in May 2023, calling for better compensation and other demands. On Sept. 15, studios affiliated with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers announced that they'd agreed to schedule a meeting with the WGA for the following week.

Pregnancy response

While discussing Utah Sen. Mitt Romney's retirement news on "The View" on Sept. 14, Whoopi Goldberg suddenly switched gears, mid-sentence, and asked co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, "Are you pregnant?" Alyssa looked stunned, then laughed and replied, "No! Oh my God! You can't say that while my mother-in-law is here! She's been dying for me to get pregnant."

Despite Whoopi's faux pas, Alyssa maintains she wasn't offended. Appearing later on the "Behind the Table" podcast, she told "The View" producer Brian Teta she opted to focus on the awkward moment's silver linings. For one thing, her mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law were seated in the front row. "If there are two people in my life who want me to be pregnant today more than anyone it's them, so just the most fortuitous timing," Alyssa said with a laugh, according to People magazine. "I literally was getting texts on the commercial break from reporters like, 'Do you care to respond to this?' I used to take questions about like, there was a missile attack in Afghanistan and now I'm like, 'No, I'm not going to comment on my fake pregnancy right now.'"

According to Alyssa, Whoopi quickly apologized. "Whoopi, she thinks out loud sometimes, and I chose to take it as a compliment — that I'm glowing," she said. Later, Alyssa promised that if and when she does have a pregnancy to announce, "I will definitely interrupt Whoopi to inform her."

TV star says she's 'sad' but 'hopeful' about her parents after speaking out against their 'cult-like' religious family, more news

Duggars update

Before Jill Duggar Dillard published her new memoir, "Counting the Cost," the former reality star spoke out about her controversial family in the Prime Video series "Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets," calling them "cult-like." Now that she's shared her story — including the sexual abuse she endured from her brother, Josh Duggar — Jill says she's gone "from the golden child to the black sheep" of the family in their eyes. In her book, the former "Counting On" star writes about everything from her upbringing in the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) faith to the payment her parents allegedly sought in return for putting the family on television.

Asked about her current relationship with her father, Jim Bob Duggar, Jill recently told "Entertainment Tonight" that despite the "very hurtful things that happened," she's "chosen to forgive him and to hopefully move on with better boundaries and better rules in place… so that hopefully that level of control and hurt won't be allowed to happen again." Jim Bob now knows Jill and her husband Derick Dillard are "serious about boundaries," she added, and while they "don't have a whole lot of one-on-one contact," they "occasionally" see one another at family gatherings.

As for her mom, Michelle Duggar, Jill said she tries to let her "just be Mom or be Grandma," rather than feeling obligated to "be the go-between" for Jill and Jim Bob, telling ET: "It is very separate. I try to keep it that way, because I think it's healthier right now." Though she acknowledged things are "sad" and "uncomfortable" for everyone involved, Jill also said she's "hopeful about moving forward — not naive, but hopeful."

Willis family pride

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughters praised their stepmom, Emma Heming, for her "courage" in discussing Bruce's battle with dementia on the "Today" show on Sept. 25. "I truly could not be more proud of @emmahemingwillis for being willing to step out into the public eye, (even though it's terrifying!!!) to share our family's story in service of spreading awareness about FTD," Scout Willis wrote on her Instagram Story while sharing a clip from the appearance, as reported by People magazine. "Emma you are such a champion for this cause and you inspire me EVERY SINGLE F****** DAY with your bravery and deep loving. Your courage is moving mountains," she added.

In Emma's emotional interview with Hoda Kotb, she spoke candidly about how Frontotemporal Dementia, or FTD, becomes a "family disease," affecting everyone who loves the person suffering from the incurable degenerative illness. Bruce's family confirmed his FTD diagnosis in 2023 following an aphasia diagnosis in 2022.

On "Today," Emma admitted it's "hard to know" if her husband is aware he has FTD. She said "it was a blessing and a curse to finally understand what was happening to him," adding that she's been "honest and open" about it with their daughters: Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9. "I wouldn't want there to be any stigma or shame for their dad's diagnosis or any form of dementia," she explained. "He is the gift that keeps on giving. Love, patience, resilience. So much that he's teaching me. And it's teaching [our kids] so much. How to care, how to love. It's a beautiful thing amongst the sadness."

Tallulah Willis later reposted her sister's loving message about Emma on her own Instagram Story. "So proud of my family," she wrote.

New tax evasion charges

Spanish authorities have accused Shakira of tax evasion for the second time, the Associated Press reported on Sept. 26. Prosecutors allege the "Hips Don't Lie" singer failed to pay 6.7 million euros — or $7.1 million — on income she earned in 2018, according to a statement obtained by the outlet. They further claim she used an offshore tax haven to dodge the payment.

Shakira's also facing a November trial in Barcelona regarding her income from 2012 through 2014. Prosecutors in that case claim the singer spent more than half of that time in Spain and therefore owes 14.5 million euros, or $15.4 million, in unpaid taxes. Shakira reportedly claims she lived and spent most of her time in the Bahamas from 2012 to 2014.

The Columbian star was made aware of the charges in Miami, where she now resides, according to the AP. As of Sept. 26, reps for Shakira had not yet commented on the latest allegations.

Intervention attempts

"Euphoria" director Sam Levinson tried repeatedly to help Angus Cloud get sober before the actor died of a drug overdose at 25 on July 31. "I could always feel that he didn't want [sobriety] as much as we all wanted it for him," Sam told People in an interview published on Sept. 25, less than a week after the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau confirmed Angus died of a lethal mix of drugs including fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and benzodiazepines. "That's where it gets tricky because the whole world can want it for you. But he didn't want it," Sam continued. "It's just the self-destructive side of addiction and it outweighs everything."

Angus, who played drug dealer Fezco "Fez" O'Neil on the hit HBO series, "didn't look well" when Sam first suggested to his mom, Lisa Cloud, that he attend rehab, the director recalled. Fez was slated to be killed off the show after one season, but Sam ordered rewrites to keep Angus in the cast because of his talent, the director said. Despite attending a 30-day inpatient rehab program followed by outpatient treatment, Angus continued to struggle with addiction. Sam staged another intervention after they wrapped season 2 in February 2022, but Angus kept using, according to People.

The young star died shortly after his father died of cancer. He and his sisters "were devastated," said his mother, who recalled how pain from a brain injury at 15 introduced her son to opioids. The night before she found him unresponsive at his desk in her home, she said he hugged her. "'I love you, mama. You're the best,'" Lisa recalled Angus told her in what would be their final exchange. "'I'll see you in the morning.'"

Silver linings

Album of the Year Grammy winner Jon Batiste shared an update on the health of his wife, Suleika Jaouad, this week, telling Sherri Shepherd on her eponymous talk show that Suleika is making great progress as she continues to battle leukemia. "It's a miracle," said the musician and former "Late Show with Stephen Colbert" star on "Sherri" on Sept. 25. "She's doing so much better after her transplant."

Suleika, 35, underwent her second bone marrow transplant in 2022 shortly after she tied the knot with Jon, 36. She wrote about her first transplant — as well as her diagnosis at 22 and her remission — in the New York Times bestseller "Between Two Kingdoms: A Memoir of Life Interrupted." Though she's still in treatment for the cancer, Suleika and Jon, who met as kids at band camp, have found silver linings in her experience, Jon said. "When you get that close to the veil of life, you realize how much really matters. You realize how much we have in the moment, and that's really all we have. This," he told Sherri. "So, as wild as it is to say, I think this season has been a blessing to us."

Sales spike

The dating rumors that continue to swirl around Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are already bringing in big bucks for the NFL star's team, the Kansas City Chiefs. On Sept. 24, Taylor made headlines after she was photographed rooting for Travis and snacking on chicken in Travis's family suite as the Chiefs battled the Chicago Bears in Kansas City. Just one day later, Travis's No. 87 jersey "saw a nearly 400% spike in sales" on e-commerce sites like NFLShop.com, a spokesperson for the league's partner Fanatics told TMZ on Sept. 25.

Clad in a white tank top and a Chiefs-red jacket, Taylor appeared to be sitting with Travis's mom for the game at Arrowhead Stadium. Neither the pro ball player nor the 12-time Grammy winner has confirmed or denied whispers about their apparent relationship. "This is like the old school game called telephone, where everybody is just whispering in everybody's ear," Travis recently said on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" when asked about the rumors. "No one actually knows what's going on."

Oscar winner's former spouse makes 'outrageous' demand for nearly $1 million in divorce following major court loss, more news

Nasty split continues

Kevin Costner's divorce continues to be acrimonious.

On Sept. 12, TMZ reported that Kevin's ex, Christine Baumgartner, is asking a judge to make the Oscar winner pay $885,000 to argue a single issue in divorce court. The actor's lawyer called it "nothing short of outrageous." Kevin's lawyers added that based on usual rates, Christine's legal team would have to put in 1,106 hours of billable work hours to justify charging that amount.

The "Yellowstone" star's ex has had very few wins in the legal battle since filing for divorce in May. She asked for $248,000 in monthly child support for their three kids. A judge temporarily set it at $129,755, but Christine then wanted it raised to $161,592. Kevin said he'd happily pay $75,000 a month, but Christine rejected it. On Sept. 1, a judge set it at $63,209, which is less than half of what Kevin was paying. The actor has claimed Christine's child support demands were actually for "disguised spousal support."

Concert protest

A Jason Aldean concert was the site of a protest where self-described communists shouted anti-American phrases and burned American flags. The men, who were from the Revolution Club of Chicago, took direct aim at Jason, too, calling him a "fascist piece of s***."

It appeared that the commies descended on the country singer's concert as result of his controversial "Try That In a Small Town" song and music video. "Jason Aldean says 'try that in a small town,' we did it at his f****** concert," one man said into a microphone while stationed outside Jason's Chicago show. "We will try that in a big city. And, we will try it right in front of your concert."

With the demonstration well underway, police showed up and ordered the group to leave because they didn't have a permit to lawfully assemble. TMZ reported that the group dispersed shortly after that.

Health situation

Liam Payne "is in a bad way" after being rushed to an Italian hospital with extreme kidney pain.

The former One Direction singer had been on vacation with girlfriend Kate Cassidy in Lake Como when things took a turn for the worse. A source told The Sun, "Liam [Payne] is in a bad way but he's in the best place he can be and finally doctors will be able to get to the bottom of what is going on."

The singer is "gutted" that his and Kate's one-year anniversary trip was "ruined." "Doctors have warned him not to expect to be signed off to go home for at least another six days," The Sun's source said. "They want to do every test possible to understand the issue fully but they now suspect that there has been an underlying issue for a while that has been getting worse."

TV star reveals she almost died after taking too many drugs at a rave

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 30, 2023September 29, 2023

By Mark Gray 2:30am PDT, Sep 30, 2023

_

Sharna Burgess danced a little too close to death during her teen years.

The former "Dancing With the Stars" pro revealed she's struggled with substance abuse for years and started experimenting with hard drugs at age 15. By the time she was 17, she was smoking meth and "partying" multiple times a week.

On a recent episode of her "Old-ish" podcast, the new mom said a life-threatening drug-fueled evening wasn't even enough to make her open her eyes to the destructive path she was going down.

Dance, however, ultimately saved her.

On a recent episode of her "Old-ish" podcast, Sharna Burgess recalled a specific drug experience as a 17-year-old. "We were sitting at the backyard of someone's house, and a crack pipe was being passed around with meth in it, and we were all taking hits of it," she recalled.

Up until then, meth wasn't exactly something Sharna did normally, so she didn't consider herself "hooked" on the drug.

Still, she was "partying pretty much three to four days a week" at the time, the Australian said.

Sharna would soon have a moment of "clarity."

While doing drugs in that backyard, Sharna Burgess realized exactly what her "future looked like" if she continued down that path. She recalled thinking, "This was not what I was meant for."

"Here I was, 17 years old, high awake for three days, watching 20-somethings and maybe even young 30-somethings passing around this crack pipe just waiting to get a little bit more out of it," Sharna, now 38, recalled. "I realized that I had come from being an Australian champion ballroom dancer, I represented my country at the World Championships, I was an athlete, the best in the country at the time. And because of a knee injury, I fell off."

The "Dancing With the Stars" alum said she "realized how far [she'd fallen] and how much [she] needed to get back to that person" she used to be.

While continuing to speak about her hard-partying days, Sharna Burgess recalled the time she'd "taken too many things" at a rave and "started frothing and foaming at the mouth."

"You sober up very quickly when you're in fear of your life like that," she said.

But if you think that stopped her from doing drugs, think again…

_

Sharna Burgess's surroundings played a role in her drug use, she suspects, adding that her home life left a lot to be desired.

"I was very, very uncomfortable in my reality, so I would escape to this place of euphoria," she said. "And eventually, the things I would take to get to that place of euphoria weren't strong enough or enough, and I do more and have more and more often. And that was the slippery slope for me."

Eventually dance gave her "the strength" to get clean.

_

On Sept. 22, Sharna Burgess and her beau, Brian Austin Green, announced that they were engaged. "The latest chapter," they said on Instagram.

The duo later revealed that they'd actually been privately engaged for two months, but only their inner circle knew. They both told People magazine that they have yet to discuss any wedding plans.

The couple welcomed son Zane in June 2022. The "Beverly Hills, 90210" star also shares sons Noah Shannon, 11, Bodhi Ransom, 9, and Journey River, 7, with ex-wife Megan Fox, and son Kassius, 21, with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil.

Movie star reveals his strict parenting style included burning daughter's shoes, throwing son's mattress off a balcony, more news

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Sep. 30, 2023September 29, 2023

Terminator parenting

When your dad's the Terminator, you can say "hasta la vista, baby" to that unmade bed. Arnold Schwarzenegger recently shared a glimpse of his approach to parenting, and it was … strict, to say the least.

While speaking to People about his new book, "Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life," the Austria-born star jovially recalled how then 9-year-old son Patrick Schwarzenegger's failure to make his bed inspired Arnie to toss his mattress off a balcony.

"I opened up the door to the balcony, picked up the mattress and threw it down with the bedsheets, the pillows, everything. I said, 'Don't ever make someone come in and clean your room, clean your shower or make your bed,' I said, 'because I taught you how to make the bed.'"

Similar "life lessons" followed — and they weren't limited to the boys Arnold shares with ex-wife Maria Shriver. According to Arnie, when daughter Katherine Schwarzenegger — now 33 and a parent herself — repeatedly failed to put her shoes away as a little girl, he threw them into the fireplace and had her watch them burn.

He said Katherine now uses the experience as a warning for her eldest daughter, Lyla Pratt, 3. "Katherine comes over with Lyla and she says, 'Lyla, I told you already not to put the shoes there,'" Arnold told the outlet. "'Keep your shoes on or you put them away, but you don't leave them there by the stand in front of the fireplace because you know what Daddy did when I left my shoes there twice? The third time, he burned them in front of me and I cried.'"

Asked if he really burned the shoes, Arnold grinned and said, "Yes, absolutely. Now she uses the same methods which she cried over and that she complained about." He added that because he grew up "with nothing," he washed and put away his sole pair of shoes every day. "So I said, 'I want you guys to do the same thing, even though you have many shoes.'"

Apartment loan

With Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas ordered to keep their daughters in the greater New York City area while they hash out the terms of their divorce, Sophie's leaning on a famous friend for help. On Sept. 27, Page Six reported Taylor Swift has lent Sophie one of her apartments in the Big Apple's Tribeca neighborhood giving the British "Game of Thrones" alum a place to reside with her kids until she and Joe have worked out their ongoing legal drama. Sophie's been spotted out and about in NYC with her pal, Taylor, in the wake of her split from Joe, who filed for divorce from the actress earlier this month. The stars' divorce intensified on Sept. 21, when Sophie filed a lawsuit against Joe demanding he return their daughters' passports so she could take the girls, 1-year-old Delphine and 3-year-old Willa, back to England with her.

Joe denied Sophie's claims he "wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained" their children before an interim consent order was filed in the case. The order indicates Sophie and Joe temporarily agreed to stay in the New York City area "pending further order" of the court, according to E! News. The outlet reported Joe and Sophie are both due to appear in court "for an initial pretrial conference" on Oct. 3. The apartment where Sophie's reportedly staying is an investment property for Taylor, per Page Six. Taylor, meanwhile, has been busy spending time with her rumored boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce.

Welfare check

Deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff's Department visited Britney Spears' Los Angeles-area home for a welfare check on Sept. 28, TMZ reported. The officers reportedly spoke with Brit's security, then left after determining she was OK and didn't want to speak with them directly.

The visit was prompted by a recent Instagram video Britney posted in which she can be seen dancing while holding large knives. The singer, who recently split from her husband Sam Asghari, appears to have a cut on her leg and a bandage on her arm in the clip, though she's said the knives weren't real. "Lighten up about the knives I'm copying Shakira !!!," she told fans on Instagram, referring to Shakira's knife-wielding performance at the 2023 Video Music Awards.

Police sources told TMZ the welfare check request came in on Sept. 27 via the LAPD's Systemwide Mental Assessment Response Team, which handles mental health evaluations. Although fans have called the LAPD to express concern for Britney's wellbeing in the past, based on other concerning Instagram activity, the caller who alerted the authorities this time reportedly knows Britney.

Kissing concerns

Kris Jenner loves "Yellowstone" and she presumably loves her boyfriend, Corey Gamble. But when Corey was offered a part on the hit show, Kris apparently blocked him from taking it. That revelation came to light in the Season 4 premiere of "The Kardashians," as Kris and Corey were wrapping up dinner in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with Kris' daughters Kim and Khloé Kardashian. "I'm so excited to watch the next episode of 'Yellowstone,'" Kris, 67, said at one point during the scene, according to Entertainment Weekly. Her comment sparked Corey, 42, to quietly remind his longtime girlfriend, "If it wasn't for you, I would be a 'Yellowstone' star!"

The acting offer seemed to be news to Kim. "They asked you to be on 'Yellowstone' and you said no?" she asked him, sounding surprised. Before he could respond, Kris jumped in. "Correct. I told him to say no… Because I thought he was going to have to have a romantic relationship [on the show]," she said.

Noting her mom's likely double standard, Khloé quickly pointed out, "But if they said they wanted you to star and [share a] kiss with Kevin Costner, I'm sure you would take it." Confirming the rules would be different if the tables were turned, Kris replied, "Oh, that's a hard yes!"

Fraud trial witnesses

Former President Donald Trump and his three eldest children are expected to be called as witnesses in his $250 million civil fraud trial in New York next week, multiple outlets reported on Sept. 28. Ivanka Trump, who served as a senior advisor to her father in his administration, along with her brothers, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who have run their family's Trump Organization business since 2016, are all on New York Attorney General Letitia James' witness list, according to NBC. That list also includes the former president, who's accused of inflating the value of his assets and properties by as much as $2.2 billion, misleading banks and insurers for his own benefit. The former president has denied the allegations. His sons, Don Jr. and Eric, are also named as defendants in the case, which begins Oct. 2. Trump's defense team also submitted their witness list, which includes 128 people, per NBC.

The latest developments in the case come after New York Judge Arthur Engeron found Trump and his company liable for fraud between 2014 and 2021. The New York DA is seeking $250 million in damages.

'Irreverent and hilarious'

Sir Michael Gabon, who played Professor Albus Dumbledore in six of the eight "Harry Potter" movies, died at age 82 after a battle with pneumonia, his family announced on Sept. 28. Among the many tributes that surfaced online in the wake of his death was a lengthy remembrance from Daniel Radcliffe, who starred in the series alongside the beloved actor. "With the loss of Michael Gambon the world just became considerably less fun," Daniel said in a statement published by USA Today. "Michael Gambon was one of the most brilliant, effortless actors I've ever had the privilege of working with, but despite his immense talent, the thing I will remember most about him is how much fun he had doing his job," Daniel continued.

"He was silly, irreverent and hilarious. He loved his job, but never seemed defined by it. He was an incredible story and joke teller and his habit of blurring the lines of fact and fiction when talking to journalists meant that he was also one of the most entertaining people with whom you could ever wish to do a press junket. The sixth film was where I got to spend the most time working with Michael and he made the hours spent in front of a green screen together more memorable and joyous than they had any right to be." He added, "I'm so sad to hear he has passed, but I am so grateful for the fact that I am one of the lucky people who got to work with him."

Former 'Saturday Night Live' star slams the 'not funny' sitcom he starred on for years, complains about his co-stars

by Marisa Laudadio Wonderwall Sep. 29, 2023September 29, 2023

By Marisa Laudadio 4:07pm PDT, Sep 29, 2023

He's done it again.

After previously dumping on "Community," the lauded NBC sitcom he starred on for four seasons, "Saturday Night Live" alum Chevy Chase has trashed the show and his co-stars again.

On the Sept. 25 episode of Marc Maron's "WTF" podcast," the comedy icon claimed the sitcom was "not funny enough for me."

"I honestly felt the show wasn't funny enough for me, ultimately. I felt a little bit constrained," Chevy said on the podcast. "Everybody had their bits, and I thought they were all good. It just wasn't hard-hitting enough for me."

Asked about his "Community" character — curmudgeonly millionaire Pierce Hawthorne — while a guest on Marc Maron's podcast that aired on Sept. 25, Chevy Chase said, "I didn't mind the character. I just felt that it was… I felt happier being alone. I just didn't want to be surrounded by that table, every day, with those people. It was too much."

"Community" co-starred Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover and Ken Jeong.

Chevy Chase was also asked about his current relationship with "Community" creator Dan Harmon, with whom he battled during season 3, which led to the showrunner losing his job. Dan was later brought back for the fifth season after season 4 suffered poor reviews. The show was canceled by NBC after season 5 and resurrected for a sixth and final season by Yahoo! Screen.

Chevy said on the Sept. 25 episode of Marc Maron's podcast that he doesn't harbor any negative feelings toward Dan now. "I have no idea if we're OK," said Chevy, who admitted he hasn't seen the former "Community" boss in 13 years. "I've never been not OK. He's kind of a pi****. He's angry. He called and said he was sorry. I love him now."

Chevy Chase was fired from "Community" in late 2012 before season 4 was done shooting.

Asked on the Sept. 25 episode of Marc Maron's podcast if he was difficult to work with, Chevy said that from his perspective, "I don't think people really felt that way. I don't know what my reputation was among people. I just always assumed I was OK."

But according to co-stars including Donald Glover, Chevy's behavior was problematic. In a 2018 story in The New Yorker, Donald said Chevy repeatedly made racist jokes on the "Community" set.

Said show creator Dan Harmon, "Chevy was the first to realize how immensely gifted Donald was, and the way he expressed his jealousy was to try to throw Donald off. I remember apologizing to Donald after a particularly rough night of Chevy's non-PC verbiage and Donald said, 'I don't even worry about it.'"

_

In a 2022 interview with "CBS Sunday Morning," Chevy Chase was asked how he felt about former co-stars claiming he was a "jerk."

"I guess you'd have to ask them. I don't give a crap," he said. "I am who I am. And I like who I am. I don't care. And it's part of me that I don't care. And I've thought about that a lot. And I don't know what to tell you, man. I just don't care."

_

In a 2018 interview with The Washington Post, Chevy Chase criticized "Saturday Night Live" — the show that made him famous after he joined its inaugural cast in 1975 before blowing up on movies like "Fletch," "Caddyshack" and National Lampoon's "Vacation" movies.

"I had to watch a little of it, and I just couldn't f****** believe it," Chevy said of the iteration of "SNL" that was on the air at the time. "That means a whole generation of s******** laughs at the worst f****** humor in the world. You know what I mean? How could you dare give that generation worse s*** than they already have in their lives? It just drives me nuts."

Then-"SNL" star Pete Davidson, who's since left the NBC sketch-comedy series, criticized Chevy after that. During an appearance on Howard Stern's radio show, Pete called Chevy "a f****** d****b**."

"F*** Chevy Chase. He's just a genuinely bad, racist person and I don't like him. He's a putz," Pete added.

Stars react to 'trashy' Republican congresswoman's 'nasty' behavior at Colorado theater

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 29, 2023September 28, 2023

By Mark Gray 2:30am PDT, Sep 29, 2023

_

Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert continues to be the talk of the town after she was kicked out of an afternoon performance of the musical "Beetlejuice" in Denver.

At the time of her forced theater exit, the controversial GOP member denied anything happened, blamed Democrats and said she was simply "too eccentric." Then video of the incident hit the Internet. Footage from inside the theater shows her filming the performance (a no-no), vaping inside the theater (also a no-no) and seemingly groping her date, who was seated next to her. It also appears that Lauren, who was wearing a very, very tight dress, was getting fondled by her date.

Theatergoers complained that she was also singing incredibly loudly, dancing wildly and generally causing a disturbance. She claimed to not "recall" vaping — despite a pregnant woman asking her to stop. The expectant woman told the Denver Post she didn't recognize Lauren when she asked the House of Representatives member to stop puffing on her vape pen. Lauren, the woman claimed, simply said "no." Later, the woman alleged that Lauren called her a "sad and miserable person."

Theater reps told the Associated Press that as she was kicked out, Lauren dropped a "Do you know who I am?" and threatened, "I will be contacting the mayor."

Since then, many bold-faced names on both sides of the political aisle have sounded off on Lauren's questionable behavior.

"Lauren Boebert is a disgrace to this country. Forget the politics… She's wearing a tight t***** dress. I've seen porn stars wear more… First of all, she's a liar. She was denying that she was vaping and didn't know what vaping was, but then they found the video," Howard Stern said on his Sirius XM radio show. "Isn't she a big morality person? How embarrassing… How did she win an election? How does a woman like that win an election. There are certain standards. Once you get caught lying like that, bye!"

Lauren Boebert's estranged husband, Jayson Boebert, took to Facebook after her viral "Beetlejuice" incident to ask people to "show grace and mercy towards Lauren in this troubling season."

Jayson, who admitted he was "unfaithful to Lauren in so many ways," also took the blame for her behavior, writing, "In part, this is my fault and you don't deserve this."

Lauren filed for divorce in April after nearly two decades of marriage.

"She lied. She said nothing happened," Whoopi Goldberg said on "The View." "It's past the point of hypocrisy. Now it's just stupid… It's not funny anymore.

"Manners and decorum are not partisan… Watching her behavior, if she had come forward and said, 'I'm going through a rough time, I had a rough night.' I would have said, 'I have a lot of grace for you.' But you're a nasty person to a lot of people, so I have no forgiveness for what she did, including flipping off the camera on the way out. I don't want my kids to see that. They might not be at a drag show, but they might be at a matinee" —Sara Haines on "The View"

Gavin Newsom, the Trumps, Megyn Kelly and more stars react to the second Republican presidential debate

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Sep. 28, 2023September 28, 2023

By Wonderwall.com Editors 5:45pm PDT, Sep 28, 2023

_

The second Republican presidential primary debate — which was hosted by Fox Business Network and Univision in California's Simi Valley on Sept. 27, 2023 — saw seven GOP candidates take the stage: North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, U.S. Senator Tim Scott and former Vice President Mike Pence.

Once again, former President Donald Trump — who remains the GOP frontrunner — skipped the debate, just as he refused to participate in the first one, which took place in August.

Megyn Kelly weighed in on the second Republican presidential debate multiple times on X, formerly Twitter, sharing comments including:

"Seriously: Ron DeSantis, you do not need to smile the whole debate. Whoever told you that misled you."

"Moderators, once again, lost all control."

"Christie: 'Vivek put your hand down.' Well done. My kids liked it."

"Vivek now trying to fix how annoying he was at the last debate. 'I'm not a know it all.'"

"Vivek who at 1st debate said everyone on stage but Vivek was bought and paid for now says we shouldn't be hurling personal insults."

"The lighting is terrible. The Qs lack any charge which is why we are getting these boring answers. The Mike Pence sniffing is weird. Vivek needs a haircut. DeSantis looks sweaty. 'Donald Duck' line was lame. Certainly hope it gets better from here."

"What a clown show," California's Governor Gavin Newsom wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after the second GOP presidential debate.

He also told reporters, "I think it will be clear that Trump comes out the dominant force after this debate. I mean, This is the XFL, this is JV, this is maybe, maybe a vice presidential debate. These people are getting lapped by Donald Trump. It's not even close. it's not even interesting."

Asked if he was going to watch the second Republican presidential candidate debate, country music singer John Rich replied on X, formerly Twitter, "I would, but I decided to go to an all night dentist and get a perfectly healthy molar drilled out."

"Could someone other than Fox moderate debates?" Ann Coulter wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Some of her other commentary included, "NO MODERATORS! Let the candidates ask one another questions, like Lincoln and Douglas. Also, lose the audience," "Man, Nikki is annoying," and "The best thing about Vivek is he steals all his best ideas from DeSantis, so I do think he'd listen to the right people."

"Just a Charmer," John Cusack wrote on X, formerly Twitter, of Ron DeSantis's performance in response to commentary on a video of the Florida governor that read, "Oh my, DeSantis did it again tonight: the rant, followed by the forced smile, followed by the grimace. Hilarious. He is beyond saving."

Oscar winner addresses her sexuality after former 'The View' co-star says she gives off 'lesbian vibes'

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 28, 2023September 28, 2023

By Mark Gray 4:30am PDT, Sep 28, 2023

_

Her sexuality has been questioned many times over the years, and Whoopi Goldberg has no problem setting the record, well, straight. While on Raven-Symoné's podcast, the "Sister Act" star said, "Women have been asking me this for as long as I've been around, I am not a lesbian. But I know lots of them, and I've played them on television."

On a recent episode of "The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda," Raven revealed she had an attraction to Whoopi — particularly when they co-hosted "The View" together from 2015 to 2016. Raven even told the EGOT winner, "you just kind of gave me lesbian vibes!"

The eyebrow-raising chat had other moments that centered on sexuality, including Whoopi detailing the boundaries she has to set for gay friends.

Maybe Raven-Symoné isn't the only one who thinks the thrice-married Whoopi Goldberg gives off "lesbian vibes." The "Color Purple" actress said she has to set boundaries with gay friends. "I'll tell them, 'I'm not gonna kiss you, but I'll kiss you over here, I'll do this, but I'm not going to do this' … and they're like, 'OK!'" Raven didn't reveal whether she was given boundaries, but she couldn't resist laying it all out there for Whoopi.

"Honestly, when I was around you, I loved you so much, like, I just wanted to be up underneath the t**** the whole time, but that's also because you just kind of gave me lesbian vibes!" Raven said on her podcast. "Sometimes, Whoops, you give me lesbian vibes, you give me stud vibes."

Raven-Symoné's wife, Miranda Pearman-Maday, didn't have a problem with the confession — nor was she surprised. Raven, according to her wife, "wants everybody to be gay." Said Miranda, "I think this is a secret fantasy of Raven's. I think she just wants everybody to be gay and she's just really hoping you'll come out right here, right now."

Spoiler alert: Whoopi did not come out on the podcast.

Former 'Saturday Night Live' star set to pay $27.5K per month in child support as he finally settles nasty custody battle

It's finally over.

More than a year after Olivia Wilde was served with legal papers while on stage in front of thousands, she and former fiancé Jason Sudeikis have settled their contentious child custody battle over their two kids, Otis, 9, and Daisy, 6.

A new report from DailyMail.com published on Sept. 25, 2023, reveals that the actress-director, 39, and the writer-actor, 48 — who've battled over everything from where the custody case should be based to how much both parties should pay following their 2020 split — are finally done disagreeing, at least legally.

According to the report, nearly three years after they broke up, the "Ted Lasso" star has agreed to send a significant monthly child support check to the "Don't Worry Darling" director-actress.

Jason Sudeikis has agreed to pay Olivia Wilde — seen here with daughter Daisy in Los Angeles on the same day the settlement story broke — $27,500 in monthly child support for their kids, Otis and Daisy, DailyMail.com reported on Sept. 25, citing court documents.

Court papers reveal that breaks down to $10,300 for their son and $17,200 for their daughter each month.

The child support figures are based on Jason's most recent estimated annual income of $10.5 million and Olivia's estimated annual income of $500,000.

But regular child support isn't all Jason ultimately agreed to pay…

Jason Sudeikis will also pay for 25% of Olivia Wilde's child care expenses when the kids are in her care, plus 100% of the kids' health insurance costs, unreimbursed medical and dental expenses and therapy bills, plus all of their school tuition, trip fees, donations, book, uniform, tutoring, summer camp and extracurricular activity fees, according to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com on Sept. 25.

The former couple of almost a decade — whose split was made public in November 2020 — also agreed to share joint custody of both children on a "week-on, week-off basis," DailyMail.com reported.

_

Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde were at odds over where their custody case should be decided as well as how much Olivia thought he should pay, because he's the higher earner. Jason wanted it handled in New York, which is where he lives, while Olivia always insisted it should be heard in California, where she lives.

A New York judge rejected Jason's petition twice, agreeing with Olivia's legal team in March 2023 that the case should be handled in Cali.

Around the same time, Olivia's lawyers went off on Jason and his legal team for some of their maneuvering. "While Jason can afford to spin his wheels with filing after filing, Olivia cannot," they wrote in a court filing, as reported by TMZ, adding, "Jason should not be permitted to litigate Olivia into debt."

Olivia and her team further accused Jason and his team of "underhandedness and bad faith" that was "astounding," adding, "I am completely perplexed at why he believes that engaging in intimidation or trickery will serve him or our children's best interests."

_

Olivia Wilde was served custody papers from her ex, Jason Sudeikis, while on stage at a movie convention in Las Vegas in April 2022, a move that made headlines for days. Deadline reported that Olivia was in the middle of screening the trailer for her new movie, "Don't Worry Darling," when someone approached from the front rows of Caesars Palace's Colosseum theater and slid a manila envelope on the stage to her feet. "This is for me?" she reportedly asked.

The actress-director then picked up the envelope, which had the words "Personal and Confidential" on it, and took a quick peek inside. With 4,100 movie theater owners looking at her, Olivia handled the dramatic interruption gracefully and held the envelope on the CinemaCon stage while continuing to discuss the trailer.

Travis Kelce isn't just good at football — he's also pretty good at fashion, and getting better.

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end — who made headlines in 2023 for his romance with Taylor Swift — even traveled to Paris Fashion Week in 2019 so he could learn more about what to wear. "[I] want to get more into fashion — who knows, maybe [I'll start] a line or some type of brand down the road and really just take notes while I'm here, try to figure out if this is the world I really want to get into," he told ESPN.

He revealed he appreciated how basketball players really upped the style game for professional athletes. "I think it was the NBA stars that started and really kicked it off," he told ESPN. "Don't get me wrong, I think guys have always been into fashion, been into the top designers…"

He once told Kansas City's 41 Action News that for him, fashion is more of a mindset than an outfit, saying with a laugh, "It's definitely a certain swagger you have to have about yourself."

Rocker reveals why he wouldn't leave his $500M fortune to his kids

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 28, 2023September 28, 2023

Some worthy cause might soon be rolling in the dough! Mick Jagger has fronted one of the world's most iconic bands, The Rolling Stones, since the mid-'60s, and the group is hugely valuable — as is Mick individually. However, there's a very real chance that none of his eight children will see a dime of his Rolling Stones money because he doesn't think it would make much of a difference in their lives.

Keeping clicking to see how much money Mick says his portion of the Stones' catalog is worth and what he plans to do with the money…

Although it's become commonplace for artists to sell their catalogs for hefty sums, Mick Jagger doesn't plan on doing such a thing. If he did, his heirs wouldn't see any of the financial windfall.

"The children don't need $500 million to live well. Come on," he told WSJ. Magazine. Asked what he would do with the money, the rocker said he might donate it to charity and "maybe do some good in the world."

MORE: Follow Wonderwall on MSN for more fun celebrity & entertainment photo galleries and content

_

Perhaps one reason that Mick Jagger doesn't want to sell his portion of the Rolling Stones catalog is because he doesn't like the business aspect of the music industry. Mick and his bandmates only owned their music after 1971. Their former accountant Allan Klein secured the copyrights to the group's earlier discography. When Mick and Keith Richards cut ties with Allan, his company, ABKCO Music & Records, kept ownership of the music, while the band walked away with only royalties.

"I don't actually really like business, you know what I mean?" Mick said. "Some people just love it. I just have to do it. Because if you don't do it, you get f*****."

Mick went on to reference Taylor Swift's notorious battle with Scooter Braun over the master recordings of her songs.

"The industry was so nascent [back then], it didn't have the support and the amount of people that are on tap to be able to advise you as they do now," he explained. "But you know, it still happens. I mean, look what happened to Taylor Swift! I don't really know the ins and outs of it, but she obviously wasn't happy."

Mick Jagger, who turned 80 in July, knows that the Rolling Stones' songs will certainly outlive him. Then again, maybe he won't actually go anywhere.

"You can have a posthumous business now, can't you? You can have a posthumous tour," he said. "The technology has really moved on since the ABBA thing, which I was supposed to go to, but I missed it."

Last year, the Swedish group launched their "Voyage" virtual show in London. It features incredibly life-like virtual avatars of the band members performing their biggest hits.

_

Mick Jagger's plans to abstain from sharing his wealth with his children has nothing to do with any kind of friction in the family.

"I have this really wonderful family that supports me," he said. "And I have, you know, young children — that makes you feel like you're relevant."

Famous entrepreneur worth $400M says he's 'so proud' to be 'the most hated man' on television

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 27, 2023September 27, 2023

By Mark Gray 6:05pm PDT, Sep 27, 2023

_

Kevin O'Leary has long been cast as the villain on "Shark Tank," and that's exactly how he likes it. Funnily enough, the entrepreneur and investor, who's worth $400M, had no other choice: Kevin was told from the get-go that he needed to ruffle feathers on the show.

"I went to see [producer Mark Burnett] at a restaurant [in a] hotel called Shutters at the beginning, before the pilot, and he said, 'We're looking for a real a****** and you're it,'" he told Us Weekly.

While Kevin's co-stars often speak of how pleasant he is off camera, Mr. Wonderful has certainly leaned in to his mean-spirited character on the popular ABC show.

"Shark Tank" has become a major success, and its main stars have essentially become household names. In Kevin O'Leary's case, he's even won a few awards that others might not want to bring attention to.

"I've won the Most Villainous Guy on TV [award] twice. I'm so proud of that," he said. "Sure, we've won a few Emmys, but winning the award as the Most Hated Man, that's hard to do. I'm so proud of it."

Reality TV shows generally don't have a long lifespan. "Shark Tank," which is about to begin its 15th season, is one of the exceptions.

"The premise was for reality TV, if you got five years, that was a huge run. And for the first few years it struggled, but then it captured the imagination of everybody that had inspiration to be an entrepreneur in America, and that's everybody," Kevin O'Leary said. "It became a family show at the same time, it went geometric in its fourth year and we've never looked back."

_

Over the years, the stars of "Shark Tank" have become like family, and they often tease each other. Kevin O'Leary might be the biggest good-natured pest of all.

"We've been working together for 15 years and I will say this — and this just shows you how much we like each other — I buy [Barbara Corcoran] a new broom every year so she can make it to California," he joked.

After being told he is "so mean to her," Mr. Wonderful argued otherwise: "I think of her like my great-grandmother, very lovingly," he quipped.

_

Kevin O'Leary likes to say "there's only one Mr. Wonderful." That's true. Interestingly enough, there were basically two Robert Herjavecs.

While Kevin was seemingly toward the top of the "Shark Tank" casting list, the same couldn't be said for Robert, who told Us Weekly he only got the gig after someone rather high profile bowed out.

"They were already starting to shoot and they had somebody else that was going to be me — somebody who was actually pretty famous, we can't say — and then it didn't work out," Robert said. "So [producer Mark Burnett] called me. I was actually skiing, and he said we're doing this show called 'Shark Tank' with Kevin. You should come and do it. And I said, 'Great. Where do you shoot?' He said, 'California. Can you be here by tomorrow?' And we got a visa in 24 hours. It was incredible."

An Oscar winner worth $400 million wins big in divorce court after former spouse called him a 'cheapskate'

Big yikes! On Aug. 31, 2023, TMZ and "Entertainment Tonight" reported that Kevin Costner's increasingly nasty divorce from his second wife, Christine Baumgartner, was getting even nastier…

The "Yellowstone" star reportedly accused his estranged missus of engaging in a "relentless jihad" against him and of bringing a "wholly unnecessary" level of "animosity" to their divorce proceedings. He also said she's made "baseless attacks" on his character.

He made the allegations in legal documents filed before he and his ex faced off over child support payments in a Santa Barbara, California, courtroom during the last week of August.

According to TMZ, the Oscar winner believes his ex has been "bubbling over with animosity" toward him and has accused him of "being a cheapskate" when, in actuality, he's forked over "way more than a million dollars" to her since she filed for divorce in May.

According to TMZ, Kevin Costner accused his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, of lying about her finances: He says "her boyfriend recently gave her" $20K in cash.

The "Yellowstone" star stopped short of naming his ex's purported new beau, but sources close to the situation told TMZ that the actor is under the impression Christine is dating their friend Josh Connor.

In July, Christine and Josh made headlines when they were caught on camera vacationing together in Hawaii (pictured). At the time, TMZ described Josh as a recently divorced (and apparently wealthy) financier who lives near the former couple in Carpinteria, California.

Multiple TMZ source, however, insisted that although Christine and Josh were very close, there was "absolutely no romantic relationship" between them. "They have been good friends for years," one source said.

Kevin apparently believes they've taken their relationship to the next level.

In court, Christine testified that Josh is not her boyfriend but confirmed that he did, in fact, give her $20K — though she says it's not a gift but rather a loan she intends to repay. She also revealed that Josh paid for their trip to Hawaii and claimed that she gave $10K of his $20K loan to her mother, who's been struggling financially since Kevin stopped giving his ex-mother-in-law a $5K per month allowance.

According to TMZ, Kevin Costner is claiming that his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, secretly took $105K from him to pay her divorce lawyers.

He also alleges that she's misrepresented how much she needs to continue raising their three children: The "Yellowstone" star says that when his ex — who wants a little more than $175K per month in child support — did the math, she included the bills for her various plastic surgery procedures (a whopping $188.5K per year) as well as fees for her private trainers and other "unallocated credit card expenses" that have nothing to do with the kids.

They "simply differ on what 'reasonable needs' means in the context of child support," Kevin says in legal documents while adding that Christine's child support demands are actually "disguised spousal support."

TMZ reports that the Oscar winner claims Christine, who initially wanted $248K a month in child support, "padded the bill simply because Kevin can afford it, and it has no relationship to their kids' needs."

He says she really only needs $63K a month to live comfortably. (Her lawyer argued in court that where their kids are concerned, luxury is "in their DNA at this point.")

Earlier this summer, a judge ordered Kevin to pay Christine $130K a month in child support.

Kevin Costner says his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, is perfectly capable of getting a job, but "she has no plans to seek employment or engage in any income-generating activity."

According to TMZ, the "Yellowstone" star is accusing his ex of fighting for such a large amount of child support so she simply never has to work again.

"Entertainment Tonight," meanwhile, reported that Christine testified she might look into teaching or working with kids as a means of generating her own income.

On Sept. 1, Kevin Costner scored a major win against estranged wife Christine Baumgartner when a judge ruled in favor of the actor and set his monthly child support payments at $63,209 — less than half what he was paying before.

The ruling came as a blow to Christine, who'd wanted the amount raised to $161,592 after it was temporarily set at $129,755. She'd originally asked for $248K in child support for their three kids.

Though the ruling was in his favor, Kevin told Fox News Digital there was "no winner," stating, "You know, when you have a life that long with somebody, there is no winner… and it's this big, crazy thing called life and how it unravels so quickly. One minute you feel like you're on top of the world, and then you realize how, you know, how vulnerable you are."

Keep reading for more on a judge's previous ruling concerning their marital home…

_

In July, Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner resolved another major issue in their divorce when she officially vacated their marital home.

The former couple spent months fighting over the Oscar winner's $145M estate in Santa Barbara, California. Before they tied the knot in 2004, Christine signed a prenup agreeing to vacate the home within 30 days if she and Kevin ever broke up.

But when the time came for her to move out, she refused. It was months before a judge ruled in early July that she had until the end of the month to find somewhere else to live. She then briefly moved into "a smaller house on the property that's been used as a staff quarter."

Said a People magazine source at the time, "Christine is following the legal advice per the prenup and is vacating the family house. … This is a temporary solution. She is still looking for another house. She is staying in the area to not disrupt [their three] kids' lives. They will be back at school in the fall with their friends. Christine is trying to keep everything as normal as possible. Her sole focus is the kids."

In early August, DailyMail.com reported that Christine had moved into a $35K-per-month rental home.

Set 'for life' — Oscar winner reportedly plans to ensure his ex will be 'taken care of' in her 'accustomed standard of living'

After months of bitterness, name-calling and legal battles, Kevin Costner and his ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, are mending fences. "They are now on speaking terms. Things are better," a source told Us Weekly, adding that the exes "didn't want it to get ugly for the kids' sake." The fact that the two can be civil is admirable and somewhat surprising given their legal fight. A full reunion is off the table, though: "There won't be a reconciliation. They're moving on," the source said.

The war between Kevin and Christine was filled with animosity, and she even called him a "cheapskate" during their child support battle.

On Sept. 16, Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner settled their divorce. Although details of that agreement have not been made public, TMZ reported that Christine's recent request for Kevin to pay $885,000 in her attorney fees so that she could argue an issue in the prenup (whether her waiver of spousal support is enforceable) is now off the table.

The "Yellowstone" actor is "thrilled that the negotiations are over," Us Weekly's source said. "At the end of the day, Christine is the mother to his children and he didn't want to fight anymore."

_

Christine Baumgartner, who shares three teenagers with Kevin Costner, initially asked for $248,000 a month in child support. A judge temporarily set it at $129,755, but Christine then wanted it raised to $161,592. Kevin said he'd happily pay $75,000 a month, but Christine rejected that figure. On Sept. 1, 2023 — after a two-day evidentiary hearing in a Santa Barbara, California, courtroom — the judge set Kevin's child support obligation at $63,209 — which is less than half of what Kevin, who's claimed Christine's child support demands were actually "disguised spousal support," was paying.

Despite the child support figure being set in stone, Kevin will make sure his ex-wife and "the kids will be taken care of in their accustomed standard of living for life," a source tells Us Weekly, adding that the Oscar winner "doesn't want them to want for anything."

The insider also said that Kevin will "always love" Christine and noted that it was "important to him that she and the kids [were] taken care of."

_

While it's clear that Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner are now taking the high road, it wasn't always that way… not at all. On Aug. 31, 2023, the "Yellowstone" star reportedly accused his ex of engaging in a "relentless jihad" against him and of bringing a "wholly unnecessary" level of "animosity" to their divorce proceedings. He also said she's made "baseless attacks" on his character. At the time, TMZ reported the Oscar winner believed his ex was "bubbling over with animosity" toward him. He also said she accused him of "being a cheapskate" when, in actuality, he had forked over "way more than a million dollars" to her since she filed for divorce in May.

Kevin has an estimated net worth of $400 million.

_

During their fight, Kevin Costner argued that Christine Baumgartner was perfectly capable of getting a job, but "she has no plans to seek employment or engage in any income-generating activity."

According to TMZ, the "Yellowstone" star accused his ex of fighting for such a large amount of child support so she simply never has to work again.

"Entertainment Tonight," meanwhile, reported that Christine testified she might look into teaching or working with kids as a means of generating her own income.

_

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner were far from amicable in the early days. The former couple spent months fighting over the Oscar winner's $145M estate in Santa Barbara, California. Before they tied the knot in 2004, Christine signed a prenup agreeing to vacate the home within 30 days if she and Kevin ever broke up.

In early August, DailyMail.com reported that Christine had moved into a $35K-per-month rental home.

TV star and former NFL player can't agree whether or not it's over after resuming 'marital relations' — Details on split fueled by money issues

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 27, 2023September 27, 2023

By Mark Gray 4:30am PDT, Sep 27, 2023

_

Kim Zolciak is trying to get Kroy Biermann's divorce petition shut down after he filed to end their marriage — for the second time — in August.

On Sept. 26, the former "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star responded to the retired NFL player's second divorce petition, telling the court that they've had "marital sexual relations on multiple occasions" since Kroy filed, Page Six reported.

TMZ further reported that Kim even listed the last time they got busy — Sept. 7 — which to her means the retired NFL player's claim that their marriage is "irretrievably broken" is "demonstrably false." Kim further claimed in her response that she believes their marriage is "viable" and she wants the divorce thrown out.

Kroy, however, doesn't agree with Kim.

On Sept. 26, TMZ obtained new legal documents that Kroy Biermann filed in which he says that even though he's resumed "marital … relations" with Kim Zolciak, it "does not indicate a desire to reconcile" and he "remains steadfast in his desire to divorce" her.

According to Kroy's docs, because of their financial troubles, their home will be foreclosed on in November. He wants to sell their home before that happens and use the proceeds to try to pay off some of their debt, but he thinks Kim is trying to prevent that from happening.

_

On Aug. 24, retired NFL player Kroy Biermann filed divorce documents for the second time in four months after nonstop "nasty" fights with reality star wife Kim Zolciak — mostly over their unenviable financial situation, reports claimed.

However, in the days following Kroy's second filing, Kim wasn't acting like her marriage was over. When she and her oldest child, daughter Brielle Biermann, landed at LAX Airport in Los Angeles on Aug. 28, a TMZ videographer asked if there was any chance of another reconciliation, prompting Kim to flash the massive diamond engagement ring and wedding band on her hand. Brielle, meanwhile, pointed out that her mother "has the ring on," implying that it's not necessarily over for good between her parents. "We'll see," Kim added coyly.

In the wake of retired NFL star Kroy Biermann's Aug. 24 divorce filing — his second in four months — TMZ reported that things between him and wife Kim Zolciak were volatile behind closed doors and had been for some time. Multiple media outlets have reported that they were essentially fighting on a daily basis. During one argument, the former "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star "dared" Kroy to file for divorce, so he called her bluff and did just that.

The pair's "nasty" arguments allegedly mostly stemmed from their money issues: Kim and Kroy reportedly blame each other for the financial mess they're in. "They've gotten ridiculously petty over who hasn't paid bills. They're counting down to pennies," said a TMZ source.

After 11 years of marriage, where did Kim and Kroy go wrong? Keep reading for a look back plus more details on their financial issues and more…

This isn't the first time Kroy Biermann has had enough. Back in May, he and Kim Zolciak both filed for divorce, and things between them quickly turned ugly. She accused him of abusing drugs and claimed that their kids weren't safe around him. He accused her of having a gambling problem. Kroy also said Kim needed a psychiatric exam for "narcissistic personality disorder."

Then in July 2023 — after months of nastiness and name-calling — Kim and Kory pulled the plug on their divorce. At the time, TMZ reported that the two were getting along well and wanted to work it out for the sake of their four young children. On July 7 — less than a week after she and the former Atlanta Falcons player were seen at church together — the former "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star filed a petition to dismiss their divorce. There were reports at the time that Kim and Kroy were leaning on their faith to help repair their marriage.

But faith couldn't fix their financial woes…

_

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's finances are in shambles. It's been reported that the duo has been building debt for a decade and owe more than $1 million in unpaid taxes. According to TMZ, the former couple owes $1.1 million to the IRS for unpaid taxes, interest and penalties from 2013, 2017 and 2018. They also owe the state of Georgia $15,000 for unpaid taxes from 2018.

Earlier this year, Kim and Kroy's Georgia mansion went into foreclosure and was set to be auctioned off after they defaulted on their $1.65 million loan. The couple was able to work out a deal to keep their mansion off the auction block, and Kim called the fiasco a "misunderstanding."

Their financial struggles weren't limited to their house, though. On Aug. 25, TMZ reported that a credit card company, Capitol One, was going after Kim for more than $150,000 in unpaid debt. In June, Target sued Kim over an unpaid balance of about $2,500 on her Target credit card.

Kim's eldest child, daughter Brielle Biermann, also had some money issues. American Express said the 26-year-old had an unpaid balance of $12,870.25. Amex filed a lawsuit demanding payment. Brielle's rep later said the reality TV star planned to make things right with the credit card company.

_

Things got so heated between Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann that at one point, cops were called to intervene. After they reconciled, RadarOnline.com obtained police bodycam footage that chronicled the altercation. The pair started fighting again once they learned what each had said about the other…

Kroy called Kim a "narcissist to the extreme level" and told the cops that her gambling was a huge problem. "It's probably been going on for pretty much our entire marriage and it's gotten significantly worse," he said. "In the last two years, she's gambled away $700,000 — just in the last two and a half years. The total in the marriage was about $1.5 million dollars — and she does it online." He then alleged that most of Kim's gambling was done illegally and claimed that her financial losses had "decimated everything."

Kim, meanwhile, told police that Kroy was "crazy" and exhibiting aggressive behavior.

_

In his latest divorce filing, Kroy Biermann asks for sole legal and physical of the four minor children he shares with Kim Zolciak as well as child support, alimony and attorney's fees. Despite the divorce filing and the clear bad blood, it's believed that the estranged couple is still cohabitating in their Alpharetta, Georgia, home for the sake of their young children.

_

Back in 2017, Kim Zolciak boldly claimed that divorce is "not an option in my house." The statement came after she was confronted with the fact that many "Real Housewives" marriages fail after they're featured on Bravo. "I would never allow a show to impact my marriage in any way," she said at the time. "My marriage is definitely first." She told Fox News that the "hype of TV and the publicity" were to blame for other reality TV stars' failed marriages. "It's easier to get divorced" than fix the problems, she said.

Singer 'in a bad way' now out of the hospital amid ongoing health issues

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 27, 2023September 27, 2023

By Mark Gray 4:30am PDT, Sep 27, 2023

Liam Payne was rushed to an Italian hospital with extreme kidney pain earlier this month, and doctors believe an underlying issue is to blame.

The former One Direction singer had been on vacation with girlfriend Kate Cassidy in Lake Como when he suddenly became ill.

The Sun reported that Liam was transported via ambulance to a hospital, where he spent several days in mid-September undergoing emergency treatment.

Nearly two weeks later, his girlfriend shared a major update on his health.

Keeping reading to find out what happened and to learn how Liam is doing now…

A source told The Sun, "Liam [Payne] is in a bad way but he's in the best place he can be and finally doctors will be able to get to the bottom of what is going on. Naturally he is gutted that his and [girlfriend Kate Cassidy's one-year anniversary] trip to Lake Como has been ruined but at least she was there to help him when he fell ill."

"Doctors have warned him not to expect to be signed off to go home for at least another six days," the source continued. "They want to do every test possible to understand the issue fully but they now suspect that there has been an underlying issue for a while that has been getting worse."

On Sept. 25 , Liam Payne's girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, told a paparazzi videographer of the singer, "He's feeling a lot better. He's in good hands. He's out of the hospital." (DailyMail.com published a video of the brief interaction — which went down in London while Kate was shopping — here.)

_

This is just the latest health scare for Liam Payne. Weeks earlier, he told fans he'd been forced to cancel his solo tour because of a serious kidney infection.

"Over the past week I've been in hospital with a serious kidney infection, it's something I wouldn't wish on anyone, and doctors' orders are that I now need to rest and recover," he said in a social media video. "I was beyond excited to come play for you guys. To all of you who have bought tickets: I'm so sorry."

Liam Payne's mother, Karen Payne, is distraught over her son's health issues.

"We are all worried sick about it but we just have to get on. It's horrible — him being all the way over there. He's in Milan and it sounds like he'll be there for a week. I feel helpless," she told DailyMail.com.

"All we can really do is sit it out here and hope for the best. There is nothing we can do. We feel helpless. It's such a horrible situation and we just hope he's in the best place possible."

_

Back in 2021, Liam Payne said he "hit rock bottom" after combining fame, alcohol and drugs.

"I was worried how far my rock bottom was going to be. Where's rock bottom for me? And you would never have seen it. I'm very good at hiding it," he said on the "Diary of a CEO" podcast. "No one would ever have seen it."

Liam said things got very dark for him.

"There is some stuff that I have definitely never, never spoken about. It was really, really, really severe. It was a problem. And it was only until I saw myself after that I was like, 'Right, I need to fix myself,'" he said. "There were a few pictures of me on a boat and I was all bloated out. I call it my pills-and-booze face. My face was just like 10 times more than it is now. I just didn't like myself very much and then I made a change."

COVID lockdowns had a severe impact on his sobriety.

"Having a lot of time at home — I think a lot of people had this same sort of thing: alcohol. It was just getting earlier and earlier and earlier. Easier and easier to go to. What I've found more than anything with the alcohol is boundaries. If you're on Zoom, you can probably get away with being a bit tipsy, when you're not supposed to be," he said. "I put on so much weight. I was eating badly and describing it as a bulking period — 'I'm doing it for a movie role! It's all good!' That's the best excuse if anyone asks if you've put on weight. Say it's for a role. It's coming out 2022."

_

Over the summer of 2023, Liam Payne revealed that he had been in rehab for more than three months. In a YouTube video, the former One Direction singer said he needed to "get well," so he checked into a treatment center in Louisiana.

"I was in bad shape up to that point. I was really happy more than anything when I arrived to kind of put a stopper on life and work. I didn't have my phone for nearly 100 days," he stated. "I didn't connect to the outside world at all and it was kind of prepping me for that moment. Upon leaving was actually the hardest point was turning the phone back on … because it was a little bit scary."

With that lengthy rehab stay behind him, Liam said he had "more of a grip" on his life.

Famous NFL player shares 'dealbreakers,' reveals he compares everyone to his mother

Taylor Swift, are you listening? An interview Travis Kelce conducted seven years ago to promote his "Catching Kelce" reality show has resurfaced, and it sheds a lot of light on his dating "dealbreakers."

Back in 2016, then-"The Real Housewives of New York City" star Ramona Singer grilled the professional football player — asking him a series of provocative questions — while they were both guests on "Watch What Happens Live."

Click though for Travis's thoughts on body enhancements, physical intimacy and more…

_

During a 2016 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," Travis Kelce shared his thoughts on women "won't sleep with you after the third date."

"The third date? I feel like that's the breaker right there. Three dates, that's like a while… I don't wanna say a dealbreaker, but it puts some questions in the air," he said.

Ramona quipped, What did your mother teach you?!"

Travis replied, "I'm a very, very classy gentleman. Those first two dates are top-of-the-line dates. Then that third one's kinda like a relaxed…"

_

Travis Kelce said it's not a dealbreaker if a woman has augmented breasts.

"I don't think so," the Kansas City Chiefs player said. "As long as she's comfortable and very confident in what she looks like and how she looks, I'm all for it."

However, he said it's a "definite" deal breaker if a girl is "obsessed" with taking selfies.

_

During the interview, Travis Kelce shared his thoughts on whether or not it's a "dealbreaker" if a woman doesn't give oral sex.

"Ah… sounds like a dear old dealbreaker to me," he said uncomfortably.

In a second resurfaced interview — this one with AfterBuzz TV — Travis was asked to play "kiss, kill or marry" with Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Ariana Grande as his choices. He chose to kill Ariana, marry Katy and kiss Taylor.

It seems like he's getting closer to making at least one option a reality…

_

Just last week, as rumors of a potential Taylor Swift romance swirled, Travis Kelce spoke to Kristin Cavallari about his biggest turnoffs, indicating he wants no part of "high maintenance" women or women who aren't "grounded."

"I'm out the door. I've never been a part of that," he said. "If you're arrogant or you think you're snooty or higher or above people, that's the biggest turnoff for me."

Still, he was confident "the stars will align" when it comes to finding "the one."

"I like to believe that all that stuff will come genuine and natural, and I won't have to think about getting into that part of my life ahead of time," he said. "That's what I'm banking on."

The tight end then admitted that he compares all women to his mother, Donna Kelce.

"My mother is an absolute angel, so I kind of base … who I look at in a significant other based off of … my mother," he said. "You've got to have some sort of sweetness to you."

Taylor, for the record, was sitting with Donna in a suite at Sunday's Chiefs game, so it seems like Mama Kelce has given her official stamp of approval!

The real reasons why an actress from a famous family is divorcing a TV star sentenced to 30 years for rape: Inside her life now

by Marisa Laudadio Wonderwall Sep. 26, 2023September 26, 2023

By Marisa Laudadio 2:59pm PDT, Sep 26, 2023

_

In the days following Danny Masterson's sentencing for two rape convictions — on Sept. 7, 2023, a judge ordered him to serve 30 years in prison — his wife, Bijou Phillips, tried to stay positive and was speaking to him "daily," DailyMail.com claimed.

But on Sept. 18, Bijou (seen here on Sept. 21) filed for divorce — less than two weeks after Danny was sentenced, despite sources' claims that she had no plans to end their 11-year marriage. TMZ reported that she listed their date of separation as "TBD" and is asking for spousal support, attorneys fees and for her legal surname to be restored to Phillips. She's also asking for legal and physical custody of their 9-year-old daughter, with visitation for Danny.

One day after the filing, Bijou's attorney shared this statement with TMZ: "Ms. Phillips has decided to file for divorce from her husband during this unfortunate time. Her priority remains with her daughter," attorney Peter A. Lauzon said.

"This period has been unimaginably hard on the marriage and the family," Bijou's lawyer continued, adding, "Mr. Masterson was always present for Ms. Phillips during her most difficult times of her life. Ms. Phillips acknowledges that Mr. Masterson is a wonderful father to their daughter."

Days later, a new report shed light on the real reason Bijou is ending her marriage…

Keep reading for more on the former couple's finances, what they're telling their daughter, their hopes for an appeal and more about their marriage…

_

On Sept. 22, DailyMail.com reported on what it learned are the two main reasons behind Bijou Phillips' divorce filing.

A source told the outlet that Bijou actually still loves Danny and hopes his sentence will be reduced or reversed. "[But] recently, friends and family have told her to be a mom first and to consider divorce because it really shows her daughter that eventually people need to be held accountable for what they do, even if it is someone they love," the source revealed.

The other reason? "Bijou also is doing it to protect her assets and protect her future," the source explained. "She doesn't want to lose money and land and housing over a future civil lawsuit against Danny. She is looking to protect her future and that is one big reason she has pursued divorce."

Despite her desire to end their marriage, "Bijou will never say anything negative about Danny's parenting skills," the source added. "He is incredible in that department."

Just five days before Bijou Phillips's divorce filing, DailyMail.com reported that she and Fianna — the 9-year-old daughter she shares with Danny Masterson — were talking to the convicted rapist on the phone every day, and that Bijou — who was still "very much in love with him," a source said in the Sept. 13 report — believed in his innocence and was determined to "be there for her husband," the source added.

Additionally, Bijou was visiting Danny "whenever there is a chance," the source added.

_

Danny Masterson and Bijou Phillips have been trying to be honest and transparent with their 9-year-old daughter, Fianna — seen here with her mom and aunt, actress Mackenzie Phillips — in the wake of his convictions and sentencing, without focusing on his incarceration.

The stars "answer all their daughter's questions, but they aren't getting into the nitty gritty," a source told DailyMail.com on Sept. 13.

"It is extremely emotional and tough, and to harp on it is emotionally draining. The times that Danny talks to his daughter and Bijou, it is always about anything else than the obvious," the source said.

"He continues to try to reassure them that it will be OK. Many tears have been shed but they use the time to talk to each other about school and anything else. There will be a time and place to fill in her daughter fully, but that is still a work in progress."

_

With Danny Masterson now serving a 30-year prison sentence, his wife has to provide for their daughter on her own. But according to DailyMail.com's source, Bijou Phillips is able to cope financially. "[She] should be fine for the foreseeable future," the source said on Sept. 13.

"When it comes to money, Danny wasn't making as much money as he was making in his heyday, but he is still left with a good amount of money from what was saved from his time with 'That 70's Show,'" the source explained.

"Bijou also is a good saver from the work she has done. They never showed financial distress as Danny did what he had to do for himself and his family to survive while acting jobs weren't as frequent over the years and also having to pay lawyers," the source added.

Right now, the source continued, financial matters are the "least" of Bijou's worries.

"Danny is still fighting but Bijou and her daughter should be fine for the foreseeable future regarding living arrangements and will not be destitute," the source said, adding that "Bijou has a lot of family and friends besides Danny's friends and family that would gladly help in the chance that Bijou falls on hard times."

_

Just five days before Bijou Phillips filed for divorce, a source told DailyMail.com that the actress was "eager" to start the appeal process following husband Danny Masterson's sentencing on two rape convictions.

The actress was hopeful the "results of his sentence will be drastically changed or overturned," the source said on Sept. 13, adding that "she is still holding out lots of hope that it will change, and he will be free."

In a separate Sept. 13 report from People magazine, an insider shared that Bijou was "surrounded by family and friends" and "in touch with [Danny's] lawyer."

"They are planning appeals. She tries to stay hopeful," the source said.

_

After Bijou Phillips' husband, Danny Masterson, was sentenced to 30 years in prison, some wondered if their nearly 12-year marriage was over.

A source told People magazine in a Sept. 14 report that while Bijou was "distraught" post-sentencing and "has had a very difficult time since the conviction," she remained committed to their marriage. "She loves Danny and has no plans to file for divorce. She will be by his side for it all," the source said.

But on Sept. 17, Bijou quietly filed for divorce in California, TMZ reported.

_

Following Danny Masterson's sentencing on Sept. 7, wife Bijou Phillips began to come to grips with a new reality for herself and their 9-year-old daughter, Fianna. According to a source who spoke to DailyMail.com the same day a judge ordered the actor to spend the next 30 years behind bars for two rape convictions, Bijou was approaching this new phase of her life as if there was a death in the family.

"Currently Bijou is circling the drain and is filled with all the emotion and no emotion at all," the source said. "She is a shell of who she has been. She is really trying to be strong for her daughter as she is trying to figure out life and what it will be like for her. It can only be compared to a divorce or a death for her not being able to be with Danny the way they were."

"They had their life, and it has been completely uprooted and changed and change is as scary and miserable as one would imagine. Friends are trying to be there for her, but things are really tough. She's really trying to figure it all out and what her life will be after all things are said and done," the source continued, adding that "whatever happens with Danny will change her life forever and, in a not so dignified word, it just sucks."

Biden urges employers 'to remember that all workers deserve a fair share of the value their labor helped create' as writers strike ends: Stars react

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Sep. 26, 2023September 26, 2023

By Mark Gray 1:32pm PDT, Sep 26, 2023

Strike won.

After nearly 150 days of striking, which effectively shut down all scripted movies and TV shows, Hollywood's major film and TV studios have reached a tentative agreement with the Writers Guild of America. Terms of the deal are not known, but reports claim the writers got much of what they demanded.

Should the deal be ratified, as expected, it will officially end the second-longest writers strike in history. With their deal essentially done, writers are being encouraged to picket with the actors union, SAG-AFTRA, which has been on strike since mid-July.

Keep reading to see how many bold-faced names reacted to the news…

"I applaud the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers for reaching a tentative agreement that will allow writers to return to the important work of telling the stories of our nation, our world – and of all of us. This agreement, including assurances related to artificial intelligence, did not come easily. But its formation is a testament to the power of collective bargaining. There simply is no substitute for employers and employees coming together to negotiate in good faith toward an agreement that makes a business stronger and secures the pay, benefits, and dignity that workers deserve. I urge all employers to remember that all workers – including writers, actors, and autoworkers – deserve a fair share of the value their labor helped create." —President Joe Biden

On Sept. 15, Deryck Whibley's wife, Ari Whibley, sent Sum 41 fans into a frenzy when she took to Instagram to announce that her husband had been hospitalized with a particularly serious case of pneumonia.

"Deryck and I were supposed to be in Chicago right now, celebrating our eight-year wedding anniversary, but the universe had a different plan for us," she captioned a slideshow of photos including an image of two EMTs loading Deryck into an ambulance on a stretcher (see it next).

"We spent the entire night in the ER and will now be spending the next few days here in the hospital as he fights through pneumonia," she revealed.

On Sept. 15, Deryck Whibley's wife, Ari Whibley, wrote on Instagram that "the scariest part" of her husband's medical emergency was that "there is a lot of strain on his heart and they are telling us that there is a possibility of heart failure."

"This is obviously not our first time in a situation like this but it brings back a lot of really difficult memories seeing him back in a hospital bed connected to wires and IVs," she continued. "I know how strong he is because I have witnessed what he has been able to overcome but that doesn't make it any easier to see. I'll do my best to keep everyone updated but if you could keep him in your heart over the next few days, we could really use it."

On Sept. 16, Deryck Whibley's wife, Ari Whibley, returned to Instagram to share an update on his condition…

"I'm very happy to be giving this update," she captioned an image of a bouquet of flowers alongside several candles and framed photos of herself and her husband. "Deryck was discharged after responding so well to his treatments. He is now under the care of his mother who is a registered nurse and myself."

"The pressure and strain on his heart and lungs has improved and he is able to breath without as much pain," she continued. "I can't tell you how truly grateful we are for the community around us. We knew we had support but the outpouring of love for our family has been absolutely overwhelming and we can't begin to say how much it has meant to us and helped us stay positive through this."

A few days later, Deryck shared an update of his own…

On Sept. 19, Deryck Whibley took to Instagram to share an update about his health…

"I wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone for so much love and support. Although I'm not out of the woods of this pneumonia yet and have been told to be prepared for a bit of roller coaster sickness over the next couple of weeks, I'm staying positive and doing my best to get through all of this. I'm still bedridden, having a hard time breathing, tight chest pains and some pretty wild fever dreams, that I guess are keeping this whole thing somewhat entertaining. I'm in the best hands and am on the right medicine. I plan on being my absolute best for When We Were Young [in Las Vegas] next month. That's my goal," he captioned a photo of a neon heart.

It's not the first time Deryck has faced a scary and potentially life-threatening medical emergency.

Back in 2014, Deryck Whibley was hospitalized after his "liver and kidneys collapsed" due to excessive alcohol use.

"The reason I got so sick is from all the hard boozing I've been doing over the years," he explained on his website, where he shared this image of himself undergoing treatment in a hospital bed. "It finally caught up to me. I was drinking hard every day. I was sitting at home, poured myself another drink around midnight and was about to watch a movie when all of a sudden I didn't feel so good. I then collapsed to the ground unconscious."

He went on to explain that now-wife Ari Whibley — to who he was engaged at the time — rushed him to the hospital, where he was admitted to the ICU.

"I was stuck with needles and IVs all over," he wrote. "Needless to say it scared me straight. I finally realized I can't drink anymore. If I have one drink the docs say I will die. I'm not preaching or anything but just always drink responsibly."

He was in a coma for three days.

In May, Deryck Whibley's band, Sum 41, announced their plans to throw in the towel after nearly three decades together.

"Being in Sum 41 since 1996 brought us some of the best moments of our lives. We are forever grateful to our fans — both old and new — who have supported us in every way. It is hard to articulate the love and respect w have for all of you, and we wanted you to hear this from us first," they wrote, adding that they were "excited for what the future will bring for each of us."

"Thank you for the last 27 years of Sum 41," they concluded.

The group – which is comprised of Deryck, plus Dave Baksh, Jason McCaslin, Tom Thacker and Frank Zummo – is set to perform at a music festival in Las Vegas in October and in Paris in November.
