Jim Morrison’s brother, Andy Morrison, gave a rare interview about the late Doors frontman in the new docuseries Before the End: Searching for Jim Morrison.
While theories have abounded in the years since the rocker was found dead in 1971, Andy gave a simple explanation for his brother’s death.
“His lifestyle [killed him]. Obviously, he drank too much,” Andy said in the series. “I think by that time he was overweight and, you know, if you’re not in good health and you drink too much and dabble in some drugs, it’s not that hard to do.”
Jim’s body was found on July 3, 1971, in the bathtub of a Paris apartment rented by his then-girlfriend, Pamela Courson. His official cause of death was listed as heart failure, but no autopsy was ever performed as it was not required by French law.
The new docuseries explores the conspiracy theory, long-held by some Doors fans, that Jim faked his own death in order to escape the pressure of leading a world-famous rock band.
At the very least, Jim left the United States for Paris in order to take a breather from the Doors after the band finished their album L.A. Woman.
“I think he actually wanted to get back into some serious writing. And maybe he’d outgrown the Doors thing, had been enough,” Andy said in Before the End. “Whether he was 100 percent done, I think not. I think he just needed a break.”
Several years ago, Doors guitarist Robby Krieger discounted theories that his former bandmate was still alive somewhere, in part because he doesn’t think Jim could have truly left music behind.
“When he went to Paris, supposedly to get away from everything, all he did was jump up onstage with these flipping house bands, get drunk and sing,” Krieger, 79, told People in 2021. “He couldn’t stop himself from doing that. That’s why I know he’s dead. Because if he was alive, he’d be up on stage somewhere.”
Krieger also didn’t like that Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek occasionally fueled the flames by hinting that Jim might still be alive. (Manzarek died in 2013 at age 74.)
“I used to love talking to Ray, and he would always say: ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if Jim turned up.’ And I used to think: ‘Come on, man, you don’t really believe that, do you?’” Krieger told Classic Rock magazine in 2020. “That was pretty much bulls—. Yeah, he didn’t have to do that.”
Danielle Fishel has officially completed her treatment for breast cancer — but not without some painful side effects.
Fishel, 43, shared she was “officially” done with treatment during the Monday, January 13, episode of her “Pod Meets World” podcast. However, she is now dealing with the painful side effects that come after 20 rounds of radiation.
“I am officially done with radiation,” she told her cohosts and Boy Meets World costars Rider Strong and Will Friedle, before clarifying she was “officially done with what is considered active cancer treatment.” Fishel announced her diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a form of breast cancer, in August 2024.
“I did 15 rounds of whole breast radiation and then five rounds of targeted radiation, which just means they focus in on the very small area where my cancer was versus treating the entire breast,” she explained.
“It will help significantly lower my chances of recurrence, which is always good news, but, boy, I am feeling the effects … Physically, I have a very bad sunburn,” Fishel continued, before sarcastically adding, “I also have a rash on top of the sunburn, which is just great.”
Fishel, known for her portrayal of Topanga Lawrence on Boy Meets World, told her cohosts that radiation treatment was “relatively easy. You don’t really do anything. You just lay there.”
However, her recovery from radiation has proven to be a bit more difficult. She further described her post-treatment side effects, saying it “hurts to wear a bra, hurts to not wear a bra. It just hurts to sleep on my side, hurts to sleep, period. Hurts to be awake.”
On top of all of that, she said, “It’s very itchy, and, also, you can’t itch it, because if you even come close to touching it, you wanna cry.”
Despite the pain, Fishel is still trying to look on the bright side. “You know what? It’s not gonna last forever,” she said. “Physically, every day now, I’m supposed to be getting better. Fatigue-wise, I am really very stinking tired.”
Her doctors also told her she’d begin to feel better in “two to three months,” and to “work out and drink water.” Fishel joked of her doctor’s orders: “I’m sorry, you want me to be tired and take care of myself?” However, she confirmed that she “did start working out.”
“I worked out yesterday. I’m gonna work out again on Friday because he said all the working out and drinking water helps my body get rid of all the damage that the radiation did,” she continued.
Fishel further told her cohosts that she will begin Tamoxifen, a hormone therapy, once she starts to recover from the radiation. “They didn’t wanna overload me with negative side effects,” she stated.
“There is no evidence of disease, so the surgery was successful and got the cancer out of my body,” she told Today.com in October 2024 following the procedures. “But they call cancer a journey for a reason. It’s not just walk in and have even one procedure and then you’re done.”
It was after this surgery that Fishel began her radiation treatment, telling the outlet at the time she was being “constantly monitored,” which included mammograms every three to six months and the potential of annual MRIs.
“I was so lucky that I found my cancer so early because I went and had my annual mammogram on time,” she said at the time. “I was thinking, like, ‘Great. I caught it early. I can be done with this soon.’ But there really is no ‘done with it.’ And so that has been an emotional and mental process.”

In photos obtained by The Daily Mail on Monday, January 13, the couple were spotted out and about in San Fernando, California. Foster, 49, and Jackman, 56, were photographed in a car while in the drive-thru line at a local In and Out.
While they waited for their meal, Jackman and Foster seemingly couldn’t keep their hands off each other. The pair shared several kisses as they sat in the front seat of the vehicle. Jackman was on the driver’s side while Foster sat in the passenger’s seat.
Foster and Jackman were also photographed in a parking structure, where they also shared multiple smooches. Before Foster got into the car, Jackman came up to her and gave her a hug and a kiss on the lips. Foster returned the kiss by caressing the Deadpool and Wolverine star’s cheek.
After the passionate embrace, Foster got into the automobile. The pair’s outing took place prior to the Los Angeles wildfires, per the outlet.
Earlier this month, Jackman and Foster subtly confirmed their relationship. Jackman was spotted supporting Foster during the West Coast run of Once Upon a Mattress. A few days later, the twosome were seen holding hands while on a date in Los Angeles, per pics obtained by People. The outlet also reported that Foster and Jackman enjoyed dinner together in Santa Monica.
Us Weekly confirmed in November 2024 that Jackman and Foster were dating. Sources told Us at the time that a romance blossomed between the Broadway stars when they worked together on The Music Man the year prior.
While working on the revival of the classic musical, both Jackman and Foster were married to other people. Jackman and longtime love Debora-Lee Furness tied the knot in 1996 but called it quits in September 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
“We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” Jackman and Furness said in a joint statement at the time. “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. Our family has been and always will be our highest priority.”
The exes share two adult children. Foster, for her part, filed for divorce from Tim Griffin in October 2024. She and Griffin share daughter Emily, whom they welcomed via adoption.
According to a source, Foster and Jackman’s relationship was “the reason Hugh and Deb got divorced.”
“A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people,” the insider claimed to Us in November 2024. “Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”

Chiefs Kingdom will welcome back its most famous member for this weekend’s playoff showdown against the Houston Texans.
Travis Kelce confirmed that girlfriend Taylor Swift, 35, will be in attendance when the Chiefs host the Texans at Arrowhead Stadium in the NFL Divisional round on Saturday, January 18.
“You know it, baby,” Kelce, 35, said Monday, January 13 on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. “You know it’s playoff football, man.”
Swift was present for all four of the Chiefs’ playoff victories last season, including their Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
“I just want to let you know what live bettors do,” McAfee, 37, told Kelce. “They see her walk into that stadium, [they] immediately open the phone like, ‘Yep, Chiefs are about to win.’ That is just literally the feel.”
The pop star attended seven Chiefs home games during the 2024-2025 season, with Kansas City winning every one. She last appeared at the team’s December 21 victory over the Texans, who the Chiefs will face after Houston defeated the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL Wild Card round on Sunday, January 12.
Kelce sat out the Chiefs’ regular season finale on January 5 against the Denver Broncos after Kansas City clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and he told McAfee he’s itching to get back to action — while using a Swift lyric in the process.
| Travis on the PatMcAfee Show where they discussed Taylor’s aura that will definitely be present during play-off football, Travis hinting at Taylor’s new music and how he supports her in the creation process as well as how electric The Eras tour was!
“I’m feeling fired up,” Kelce said. “I’m feeling 22 all over again, baby. Let’s go.”
McAfee then sang some of the lyrics to Swift’s song “22,” from her 2012 album Red, while waving his arms back-and-forth.
Kelce smiled and said, “I was hoping you caught the reference, baby.”
McAfee complimented Kelce on being a “gentleman,” a stark contrast to all the “f—boys” Swift has dated in the past. When asked if Swifties can expect any love songs about Kelce in the near future, the superstar tight end remained coy.
“There might be a few, I don’t know,” Kelce said. “There might be a few.”
When McAfee asked if he had “heard any,” Kelce laughed and said, “You know I can’t say any of that.”
“I’ll never chime in, but I’m here to support it,” Kelce added. “I’m here to see where it can go, you know what I mean?”
McAfee, a former punter for the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, also marveled at seeing the Eras Tour at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium in November 2024. Kelce, who attended the third and final Indianapolis show, was in full agreement.
“I thought the European crowds were crazy, but I’ll tell you what man. Lucas Oil, I got to go to the last night up there in Indy, and they were lit,” Kelce recalled fondly. “They were going nuts. I’ve seen that thing rocking when the Colts are playing, they might have had that thing rocking even more.”
The Chiefs battle the Texans in the NFL Divisional playoff round on Saturday, January 18 at 4:30 pm ET on ESPN.
Taylor’s brother, Griffin Goldsmith, revealed that Duff and Koma, both 37, have taken in Moore, 40, and Taylor, 39, — as well as their three children: Gus, 3, Oscar, 2, and Lou, 3 months. (Duff and Koma, for their part, share children Banks, 6, Mae, 3, and Townes, 20 months. Duff is also mom to son Luca, 12, whom she shares with ex Mike Comrie.)
“Our dear friends @matthewkoma and @hilaryduff thought it wise to set up a gofundme for us to help with everything moving forward,” Griffin, 34, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, January 13. “Not to mention they are currently housing my brother’s family. They’ve taken care of my entire family from the moment this began. I will never be able to thank them adequately. This is the kindest act any human could do for another. They are the most beautiful, selfless people we’ve ever known.”
Tens of thousands of people were forced to evacuate due to the Los Angeles wildfires, which began after a windstorm sparked brush fires on January 7. Moore shared on January 9 that her home with Taylor had been destroyed in the fire. While the “main part” of their residence is still standing, it is “not livable.” She also noted at the time that Griffin and Kit lost their home, as well.
While reflecting on the wildfires in his Monday post, Griffin shared a carousel of photos via Instagram on January 12 of the destruction.
“It’s Impossible to express how much we’re feeling right now,” Griffin wrote. “We’ve lost everything. 8 years of memories made in our house. 20 years of gear. My wife @quintessentiallykit was applying the finishing touches to the nursery for our baby boy who’s due in a few weeks. She had, throughout the years, poured her heart and soul into making the property a literal piece of paradise. Anyone who had the chance the visit can attest.”
Griffin continued, “We often would say to each other ‘I want to live together in this house for the rest of our lives’. We had convinced our whole family and closest friends to join us in Altadena. Our parents were around the corner. They lost their house as well.”
Griffin, who’s married to Kit Goldsmith, noted that Taylor and Moore are “just down the street” while the couple’s other loved ones live blocks away.
“All of these houses are gone. The thing we mourn the most is the loss of the community,” he wrote. “Unfortunately, we aren’t the only people reckoning with this. We’ve all had to watch our home, the city we love so much, transform overnight into an infernal hellscape. And it’s by no means over….”
Griffin called the situation “so overwhelming” before noting that it’s “equally overwhelming” to see the love and generosity they have received. Griffin extended his gratitude to everyone who donated to their fund.
“I’ve never been so moved in my life. We are completely blown away. I can’t talk or think about it without crying,” he wrote. “Like I said there aren’t words to describe how I feel. I’m doing my best. You all have completely changed what the picture of our future in Los Angeles looks like.”
Griffin continued his emotional post in the comments section, noting that he and his wife have confidence they “will be OK” as they begin parenthood.
“This baby will be born into a fractured Los Angeles. But because of you all he will be met with warmth and love and comfort,” he wrote. “I’m so buoyed by everyone’s generosity. It allows me to believe that we can build back the neighborhood so that it is stronger and more beautiful than before.”
He continued, “There are so many people that need help and I know based on our own experience that so many are motivated to help. We are too. I love you all. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to respond to texts. There have been too many.”
Griffin pledged to continue to help those affected by the wildfires “in whatever way we can,” noting that his and Taylor’s band Dawes “will be involved in raising money for the community when the dust has settled.”
In his slideshow of images, Griffin shared a picture of a CD burned on the ground. That last photo of the burned record was taken by Wylie,” he wrote. “It was one of the few things he found in the ashes of his own home.”
Since the fires began, Moore has been asking her followers to consider donating to Griffin and Kit’s GoFundMe to support the family. After receiving backlash for sharing the fundraiser, Moore hit back.
“[For] people questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic,” Moore wrote via Instagram on January 9. “Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this GoFundMe and I’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them.”
Moore reminded her followers that “no one is forcing you to do anything,” adding, “We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF.”

Heidi Montagis rebuilding her life one step at a time.
Montag, 38, updated fans on how she’s doing after losing her house to the ongoing L.A. wildfires via TikTok on Sunday, January 12. In the clip, she shared she was shopping at Marshalls for new clothes.
“I’ve been wearing the same T-shirt and jeans for days. I have, like, two outfits,” she said. “We’re at Marshalls, this is super cute,” Montag continued, holding up a cream cable-knit sweater. She also showed off a black blazer, a dark V-neck top, a cherry red shirt and more. “I’m so excited.”
“It sounds silly but it’s really making me miss my stuff,” Montag admitted. “[But] this place has some real treasures in here.” As she checked out, Montag explained that she bought some other necessities before heading back to her son Gunner, 7, whom she shares with husbandSpencer Pratt. (The couple also shares son Ryker, 2.)
Celebrity friends and fans shared their support for Montag in the comments section. “Love you so much,” Trisha Paytas wrote. “Please let me know if you need anything. You two have been in such good spirits, it’s truly inspiring.” The official Marshalls account added, “So inspired by your strength, Heidi ,” as another fan praised, “You’re such a great mommy Prayers for your beautiful family getting through this horrible time.”
Montag revealed her house was destroyed by the ongoing wildfires surrounding the greater Los Angeles area TikTok on Wednesday, January 8. “Thank God we are safe,” she said while getting emotional. “Thank you for your prayers; thank you for your thoughts. I have no words.”
More celebrities, including Paris Hilton, Miles and Keleigh Teller, Billy Crystal, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester, have also lost their houses in the Los Angeles fires.
One of my New Year’s resolutions should’ve been to get better at cleaning. This menial task is the bane of my existence — I may live in a 450-square-foot apartment, but I swear it takes four hours to properly clean the place. I don’t think tidying up and scrubbing the floors is something I’ll ever take joy in, though I recently discovered one product that makes mopping — dare I say it — enjoyable.
The Swiffer PowerMop has been a total game-changer when it comes to keeping my apartment sparkling. Instead of having to fill a bucket with soapy water and lug it around, this handy, lightweight mop sprays out the cleaning agent with the press of a button, making the process easier and faster. Plus, the scent of the cleaner feels totally revitalizing, like I’m walking through a field of fresh flowers.
Much like the original Swiffer (which is one cleaning tool I’ve used for over a decade), the PowerMop features a swivel head that makes it seamless to maneuver around furniture and in hard-to-reach spaces, like under the couch. But one of the best attributes is that it works on various surfaces, including wood and tile.
“I saw a commercial for this mop the other day going from tile to hardwood and thought I’d try it out. So glad I did,” writes one happy customer. “It just came today and, in all honesty, my floors have never been this clean…especially the hardwood. I have been getting down on my hands and knees to clean the tile for years. Done with that.”
Another mentions how easy it is to reach tight corners thanks to the swivel head. “The swivel head makes it easy to maneuver around furniture and corners, while the disposable cloths effortlessly pick up dust, dirt, and pet hair,” they explain. “I love how quickly I can clean my floors without having to bend down or deal with messy buckets. The Swiffer PowerMop has made keeping my floors clean a breeze!”
With the Swiffer PowerMop, I actually look forward to cleaning. When it comes time to bust this out, I turn on my jams and glide through my apartment in record time. One thing’s for sure: My home has never felt fresher, and it’s all thanks to Swiffer.
Kristin Davis has revealed how much money she was going to be paid for season 1 of Sex and the City.
Davis, 59, first portrayed Charlotte York on HBO’s original series Sex and the City, from its debut in 1998 until its final episode in 2004. She has since gone onto reprise the role in several sequels, including two films and Max’s revival series And Just Like That. However, the actress revealed during the first episode of her “Are You a Charlotte?” podcast that she was offered a measly $5,000 for her debut performance on the series.
“I was never a fan of the pilot,” Davis said during the Monday, January 13, episode, adding that she always wanted to do the show but thought the pilot episode “didn’t seem polished.”
“It didn’t seem smooth. It seemed kind of choppy and hectic,” she said. “But I also feel my personal theory on pilots in general is that if they’re too good — if the pilot is too formed — the show might not be good.”
Davis further revealed that while she was filming the pilot, a producer came to her trailer and handed her a new contract to sign.
“One day, I’m in my trailer and she knocks on my door and I opened it and she says, ‘Oh, well, we have this paperwork we need you to fill out.’”
She continued, “And I was like, ‘OK.’ I take the paperwork and I look at it and it seems to be a new contract, but it’s only two pages long, and I’m like, ‘What is this?’ And it says, ‘You will be a recurring character and you will be paid $5,000.”
Davis promptly called her lawyer, who advised her not to sign the new contract. “I know that the pilot’s costing a lot and that they’re stressed at HBO about it,” she recalled, adding, “I think the pilot cost like $2.5 million roughly, which at the time was a lot because no one really filmed in Manhattan.”
The actress noted that series creator Darren Star hadn’t said anything to her about a new contract at the time, so she chose not to worry
“So I thought, ‘Well, if Darren’s not saying anything to me about it, then everything must be okay,’” Davis continued. “I don’t know. I was scared. But it was also very clear from the book and from the script and from the pilot that Charlotte’s point of view was a different point of view than the other girls.”
Davis is set to reprise her role as Charlotte York in season 3 of And Just Like That, which does not yet have a release date.
Aubrey Plaza and family are paying tribute to Jeff Baena.
“It is with profound sadness and grief that we announce the sudden and unexpected death of Jeff Baena, a beloved son, husband, brother, uncle and friend to many,” Baena’s obituary, which was published in the Miami Herald, read. “Jeff left us too soon but despite his woefully too-short life, he left us with treasured memories of a gifted filmmaker, as well as a very special person on so many different levels.”
While the obit honored Baena for his credits in the entertainment industry, his loved ones shared some insight on how he found his passion for film which he “fell in love with” when he was “11 years old watching A Clockwork Orange and Felini’s 8 1/2.”
“Each of his films reflects a carefully crafted balance of the logical and the implausible. His juxtaposition of intellect and creativity challenged us. He embraced independent film making because of his unalterable distaste for institutional guardrails on creativity,” the message continued. “Those who worked with him praise his vision, taste, technical competence, and ability to coalesce actors into an ensemble that performs in perfect harmony. A family atmosphere always ensued. He loved nature and highlighted it cinema-graphically in his films whenever and wherever possible.”
In addition to work, which he did a lot with Plaza, Baena also “loved the company of his friends.”
“Jeff was a true relationship builder with a gift for bringing people together on and off the movie set,” the obit said. “His magic sauce was ensuring everyone was having fun and no one ever left his get-togethers as a stranger.”
Baena’s obituary also revealed that he also had an affinity for the novel, The Little Prince, and included a touching quote from the beloved children’s book.
“When he was a boy, Jeff loved reading The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Ironically, in it, the Little Prince exclaims, ‘I haven’t much time. I have friends to find and so many things to learn.’ And so it was for Jeff,” the post read.
Baena is survived by Plaza, his parents, siblings, nephews and nieces.
“We shall always love and deeply miss Jeff,” the obit concluded. “His presence, as well as his work, made the world feel better. He had lots more to offer. Alas, all that is gone. Sweet dreams, our Little Prince.”
Baena died on January 3. He was 47 years old. According to medical examiner records reviewed by Us Weekly, Baena’s official cause of death is listed as suicide. After news broke of Baena’s passing, Plaza’s rep released a statement on her behalf.
“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” the statement to Us read. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”

The couple started out as two friends in Texas who went to school together. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback became close with Matthews in 2011 when he was just a freshman at Whitehouse High School.
After dating for several years, the pair attended different colleges but remained an item.
“He ended up going to Texas Tech, and that’s when it really hit me, ‘Oh s—t, he might go play professional football,” Matthews told Today in December 2020 of her then-fiancé’s football skills. “It was surreal to see him living his dream and seeing him grow as an athlete and as a man in general was just amazing.”
They cemented their relationship in March 2022 when they said “I do” in Hawaii. Mahomes and Matthews have since embraced married life — and the craziness that comes with raising three children.

Whether you’re a first-time skier or have been shredding the slopes since you could walk, having the right gear can make each run so much more enjoyable. Of course you’ll need a solid waterproof ski coat, but when it comes to your bottoms, I highly suggest choosing a bib over pants. Bib overalls offer extra protection and stay in place better than other bottoms. While there are plenty of options to choose from, you really can’t beat the Artix Essential Insulated Bib Overalls. Not only are they affordable (under $100!), they’re also a top seller on Amazon!
Over 39,000 (!) shoppers have given these overalls their five-star seal of approval. What makes them so special? Well, bibs tend to feel bulky and restrict mobility (more than pants, in my experience). This design, however, is made with special Thermatch technology that keeps you warm without the added insulation. It will protect you from the most freezing temperatures (down to -20°F) while still allowing you to move freely and glide down the mountain.
Beyond the cozy warmth, Artix also focused on little details to make these overalls feel extra special. For example, to ensure a perfect fit, Artix doesn’t just offer standard sizes. The brand also allows you to choose your desired inseam length, so there’s no need to get these hemmed. Plus, the pockets are fleece-lined and there’s an O-ring on the front to secure your lift ticket and keys.
Customers who have bought this bib are glad they found a reliable and affordable design for their wintery vacations. “These are great,” one reviewer writes. “I wore these to a trip in Colorado and they really served their purpose. They endured 10-degree, snowy weather. The snow was at least a foot deep and it kept me very warm. They’re very lightweight, waterproof and the value for the money — you just can’t beat!”
Another mentions that they prefer the Artix bib over pricier options. “Thoroughly impressed with the quality of these snow bibs,” they write. “Arrived just in time for the snow and ice!

Head coach Marcus Freeman made a meaningful change in his personal life after his professional journey took him to Notre Dame.
Less than a year after becoming the head football coach at the South Bend, Indiana university in December 2021, Freeman, 39, made the decision to convert to Catholicism.
During a media call in September 2022, Freeman called it “a family decision, a personal decision.”
According to the South Bend Tribune, Freeman was raised in the Christian and Korean church traditions — Freeman’s mother, Chong, was born in South Korea — and his wife, Joanna Freeman, and their children were already practicing Catholics.
Marcus and Joanna, who got married in 2010, share six kids: son Vinny, 17, daughter Siena, 12, son Gino, 11, son Nico, 9, daughter Capri, 7, and son Rocco, 6.
“I tried to keep it as private as I could,” Freeman said of his religious conversion. “Obviously, when you’re head coach at Notre Dame, nothing is private.”
The development was first announced in the bulletin of Freeman’s church, Saint Pius X Catholic Church in Granger, Indiana.
“Welcome to our newest Catholic, Marcus Freeman,” the bulletin read, which was obtained by the Tribune. “[Father] Bill recently concelebrated in a Mass where Marcus Freeman was received into the Catholic Church. After preparing with [Father] Nate Wills, C.S.C., chaplain of the Notre Dame football team, Marcus made a profession of faith, was confirmed, and received his First Holy Communion.”
The message added, “Please pray for Marcus, and his family, as they celebrate and continue this journey in faith!”
Before he converted, Freeman reinstated the tradition of pre-game Mass for the Notre Dame football team for the first time in 11 years.
“What better time is there to go have Mass?” he asked the National Catholic Register in August 2022. “What better time to be able to really be on the edge of your seat to get every word that comes out of the priest’s mouth and to be as close to God as you can?”
Freeman added, “That’s important for me. I want our guys to wonder about what it means to embrace Jesus Christ.”
The coach and his program are currently preparing to face The Ohio State University in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday, January 20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, attempting to secure Notre Dame’s first national title since 1988.
After Freeman’s squad defeated Penn State in the Orange Bowl on Thursday, January 9, securing their place in the title game, Freeman became the first Black coach to ever lead his team to the National Championship — but he had no desire to hog the spotlight.
“I’ve said this before, I don’t ever want to take attention away from the team,” Freeman told ESPN’s Molly McGrath. “It is an honor, and I hope all coaches — minorities, Black, Asian, white, it doesn’t matter, great people — continue to get opportunities to lead young men like this. But this ain’t about me. This is about us. We’re going to celebrate what we’ve done because it’s so special.”

The reality star exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly on Monday, January 13, that she is looking for love again — this time in South Africa.
“Coming back for All Stars is a homecoming and a full circle moment for me,” Ekin-Su, 30, told Us. “It’s about rewriting my story, overcoming traumas and having a good laugh along the way. I’m returning with more perspective — being older and wiser — and I’m ready for everyone to get to know Ekin 2.0.”
Fans were introduced to Ekin-Su in 2022 during season 8 of Love Island. Although she was crowned the winner alongside Davide Sanclimenti, the pair didn’t secure that coveted happily ever after once the cameras stopped rolling.
“My life has changed so much since 2022,” she explained. “I’ve become much more confident in who I am and now know exactly what I deserve in a relationship.”
While it’s unclear if Davide, 30, will make an appearance in season 2 of Love Island: All Stars, Ekin-Su isn’t scared of or nervous about the possibility of potentially facing any of her exes.
Instead, she vowed to “follow my heart and my gut and see what comes of it.”
“I wouldn’t let seeing my ex in the villa impact my experience,” Ekin-Su shared with Us. “My previous relationship is over for a reason and I don’t have any interest in revisiting it. I’m focused on myself and my future — leaving the past in the past. Onwards and upwards!”
Before returning to the Love Island franchise, Ekin-Su appeared on Celebrity Big Brother and The Traitors.
Because each experience was unique and different, the BPerfect Cosmetics ambassador said both shows provided a collection of valuable lessons she’ll take with her on Love Island, round two.
“I have learned how to be more mindful of reacting to things that don’t matter in the long run,” she explained. “Sometimes you just need to step away from the situation to realize that things aren’t as big of a deal as they seem.”
Before packing her bags with plenty of must-see looks from brands like Mars the Label, House of CB, Odd Muse and Outcast Clothing. Ekin-Su said she hopes her experience on Love Island: All Stars can be a symbol of moving forward after a breakup.
“I want to encourage all women, whether they’re my future castmates or viewing from home, to not fear the unknown following a heartbreak,” she explained. “Be brave, be bold and embrace every moment.”
Love Island: All Stars kicks off on January 13 and streams on ITVX in the U.K.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomesand his wife, Brittany Mahomes, have kept up with a theme when it comes to baby names.
After getting engaged in September 2020, the couple announced they were expecting their first child. Patrick and Brittany welcomed daughter Sterling Skye in February 2021. The pair tied the knot in March 2022 and added son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III to their family that November.
“My second child, Patrick Mahomes III. I have to say his real name or his dad will get mad,” Brittany explained on the Kelly Clarkson Show in January 2024. “His name is Patrick [and] we call him Bronze.” (The NFL player’s full name is Patrick Lavon Mahomes II and he was named after his father, Pat Mahomes Sr.)
Brittany and Patrick announced in July 2024 they were expecting their third child. In January 2025, the duo shared via Instagram that they welcomed daughter Golden Raye.
Scroll down to see what Patrick and Brittany have said over the years about their kids’ names:
Sterling Was Initially Meant for Their Dog
Brittany shared the origins of Sterling’s name during an Instagram Story Q&A in April 2023. “I got Steel in college and named him that,” she explained of the couple’s older dog. “We then got our second dog and was gonna name her Sterling because it went with Steel perfect.”
Brittany continued, “Then I said no, I want that to be my daughter’s name, so then we came up with Silver to go with Steel.”
Brittany explained that they were “already set on Sterling” when they were expecting their daughter. “Then having a boy and him being Patrick Mahomes III, Bronze was just meant to be and went perfect,” she wrote.
Bronze Was Almost Trey
Patrick shared that he initially had another name in mind for his son. “We were going with Trey at first because the third obviously and everything like that,” he explained while speaking on The Drive on Audacy’s 610 Sports Radio (Kansas City) in December 2022, per People.
How Jackson Mahomes Gave Bronze His Nickname
While keeping in the family’s tradition, Bronze’s moniker happened by chance. “My brother Jackson [Mahomes], whenever we were trying to find something that was a little unique and different, he said, ‘What about Bronze? It fits perfectly with Sterling,’” Patrick said during a press conference in November 2022. “So, we went with that.”
He continued, “It works out well. He can have his own thing now where he’s not Patrick, he’s Bronze, even though he’s Patrick. And, Sterling and Bronze can have that connection moving forward.”
Girls Next Door alum Kendra Wilkinson defended her appearance after facing criticism online about her weight. The 39-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday, January 12, to share a full-length photo showing off her physique. “Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m aging. Yes, I’m not that girl I was before (Playboy girl) but for once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy,” Wilkinson — a former live-in girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner — captioned the post, adding that she feels “pretty balanced” in her life. “For those of you hating on my new weight, 40 yr old face please know that I’m happy, healthy and at peace in life finally. Leave me alone and respect that I’m where I actually want to be finally all together.” Wilkinson also addressed comments about her “alcohol intake,” acknowledging that her drinking could “be monitored better” but hinting that she’ll still be taking “shots” to celebrate her 40th birthday this summer.
