Humanitarian and social media personality Dora Moono Nyambe died at the age of 32.

“It is with a heavy hearth that we announce the sudden departure of our beloved Dora,” a Friday, December 27, statement shared via Nyambe’s Instagram read. “She will be remembered as a loved mother, heroine, peace philanthropist and an extraordinary woman.”

Nyambe primarily worked as a humanitarian and educator in the village, helping to provide food and shelter to youth residents. She also documented her work via YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, garnering over 4 million followers.

A teacher who worked with Nyambe’s organization confirmed her death in a TikTok video shared earlier this week.

“I am officially announcing the loss of my beloved CEO, director, manager and founder of Footprints of Hope School, who died on Wednesday, 25th of December 2024,” she said. “Our sister will be buried here in Mapapa at Footprints of Hope School. … Thank you so much for everything.”

Nyambe’s funeral will be held at the Mapapa Village in Mukushi, Zambia, on Monday, December 30.

“The burial of the late Dora Moono Nyambe, which was initially scheduled for an earlier date, has been moved to Monday afternoon due to some unforeseen challenges,” a Saturday, December 28, statement read. “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.”

The note continued, “We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has come forward to support us, whether financially or in other forms. Your kindness and generosity have been a source of great comfort and strength for the family during this period.”

A cause of death for Nyambe has not been publicly shared.

Nyambe previously moved to Zambia to start a boarding school through her Footprints of Hope nonprofit.

“I came to Mapapa Village while waiting for my visa to be approved. I needed to renew my visa to visit. This is [my friend’s] village,” she said in an October Instagram video. “When I came here I saw that there were a lot of kids getting [sexually assaulted], there were a lot of kids that had babies; just a lot of bad things happening. … I decided to stay.”

 Nyambe built four schools to house over 500 children.

“That is why I keep on getting more kids,” she added. “I know it’s very confusing saying, ‘Let me turn this kid away’ or ‘I can’t house you’ or ‘I can’t do this.’ It’s very difficult for me because there’s a lot of kids in the village, but I don’t have the resources for that.”

Several months before model Dayle Haddon died at age 76, she appeared alongside Blake Lively in a Vogue editorial shoot.

“What a wonderful time working with the brilliant @bazluhrmann on his version of the classic film, To Catch a Thief for @voguemagazine September Issue,” Haddon wrote via Instagram in August. “A genius director and photographer, Baz, enthusiastic, creative, inclusive was so much darn fun to work with!!”

She continued, “Loved working beside the absolutely delightful, funny and mischievous @blakelively. Not only is Blake beautiful, inside and out, she is generous to a fault, fixing my dress during takes, adjusting my fabulous @cartier jewels [and] making sure I was ‘shining’ during the shoot!”

Haddon further praised Vogue icon Anna Wintour for “pulling this exciting project” with all the “massive talents” including Lively, 37, and Hugh Jackman.

Haddon died four months later on Friday, December 27.

“The bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this Earthly realm. Shining somewhere as radiantly as ever where it’s most needed, I have no doubt,” Haddon’s daughter, Ryan, wrote via Instagram. “She was a woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful.”

The 53-year-old journalist added, “In conversation, she could go to the deepest of places and also soar to the highest heights of spiritual understanding. She held so many up, saw their greatness sometimes hidden to them, and always built bridges with her own connections to help them ascend. She was everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.”

Ryan, whom Haddon shared with ex-husband Glenn Souham, further explained how she planned to honor her mother’s legacy moving forward.

“I always trust the timing of things. There are no accidents and certainly how we enter and exit this world is mystical and unknowable,” Ryan wrote in her upload. “She was a high-hearted spiritual being that put value on her soul’s evolution, so I know her journey here in this dimension must have been complete. I honor her. I bow to her. I revere all the paths and adventures taken. I saw her be golden and always reach for the Light in all areas of her life.”

Ryan reshared her post onto her Instagram Story, with the caption, “Rest in Light, Mom. So grateful for this beautiful should and to be her daughter this lifetime.”

Haddon had been found unconscious inside Ryan and husband Marc Blucas’ Pennsylvania farmhouse after a suspected carbon monoxide leak. A police investigation is ongoing.

Lindsay Arnold is getting candid about her breast augmentation journey.

The 30-year-old Dancing With The Stars alum opened up about her upcoming surgery in a TikTok video posted on Friday, December 27.

“Get ready with me while we talk about my breast augmentation,” Arnold excitedly said while sitting on her floor in a purple sweatsuit. “If you followed me for a while, you know that I’ve talked about this before as something that I’ve definitely wanted to do.”

In her video, Arnold spoke about the timing when it came to her going under the knife. Despite originally wanting to wait until after she and husband Sam Cusick were “done having kids,” Arnold later changed her mind.

“Naturally, a lot of you are asking if this means that we’re done having kids,” Arnold said. “We are not done having babies. I feel like my plans and timeline have been shifted quite a bit.”

Arnold and Cusick, who have been together since high school, share daughters Sage, 4, and June, 15 months.

On Friday, Arnold said that she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time for her and her husband to try to have a third child, which allows time to get her breast augmentation and lift.

“I just decided I didn’t want to wait,” she explained. “Obviously [I] know there are chances I’d maybe need to get a lift later on in life or whatever, but I just don’t want to wait anymore. … We’re just putting [family planning] on pause a bit longer.”

Arnold also consulted with a plastic surgeon about the procedure, noting that she was keen to get an augmentation after her breasts appeared to have “deflated” since having kids.

“The skin is there, it just has nothing inside of it,” she admitted. “I really just want to, kind of, fill out the size that I already have and create fullness and volume so that it stays that way when I’m not wearing a bra.”

Arnold announced her plans to get the procedure in a Thursday, December 26, TikTok video.

“My Christmas present this year is that I’m getting a breast augmentation,” Arnold said at the time. “Guys, I’m freaking out, but I’m also so excited. That is happening in, like, a little over two weeks. I am turning 31 on January 11, and Sam and I are going to Mexico for a little getaway. We’re doing three nights and then we get home. The next day, I am getting my breast augmentation. I am also getting a lift.”

Brooks Nader made a statement during her Friday, December 27, date with Dancing With the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko.

When the pair were spotted together in Los Angeles on Friday, the 27-year-old model wowed in a sheer blouse underneath a navy pinstripe blazer. Nader completed her look with a matching striped pencil skirt and black accessories, including kitchen heels, a handbag and a thin belt.

For glam, Nader wore her long locks in loose waves. Savchenko, 41, opted for a similar color palette. He wore a black bomber jacket over a pair of coordinating jeans and a loosely fitting T-shirt.

Nader was partnered with Savchenko for season 33 of DWTS, which aired earlier this year. They immediately raised eyebrows for their sizzling chemistry.

“We have a good energy. Like, I think we got good vibes. I mean, it’s nice to be in the room for five hours a day with someone that you get along with,” Savchenko exclusively told Us Weekly in September. “And also, you know, looking like that. She’s hot.”

Amid their ballroom lessons, Us broke the news that Savchenko and Nader were hooking up. They briefly split after their October elimination from the competition.

“I don’t even know what’s going on. I know I am confusing people, but I am confusing myself. I am loving life,” Nader told Us earlier this month. “My family loves him, and he’s just a great guy, and he’s so great with all the girls and the family.”

She added, “We were all on Dancing With the Stars because it’s always a family affair. And he made everyone feel really welcome, including myself. He made me feel really comfortable dancing and doing things that I was maybe uncomfortable with. So he’s great.”

Days later, Savchenko confirmed to TMZ that he and Nader had officially gotten back together. They even spent part of the holiday week with his eldest daughter, Olivia. In addition to 13-year-old Olivia, the Russian dancer also shares 7-year-old Zlata with ex-wife Elena Samodanova.

Marc Blucas Once Explained Why He Renovated House Where Dayle Haddon Died

28 December 2024 at 12:32

Actor Marc Blucas has previously been candid about fixing up his Pennsylvania farmhouse, which is where his mother-in-law, Dayle Haddon, died on Friday, December 27.

“You know what’s amazing, our house was built in 1711, you know, before George Washington was born,” Blucas, 52, quipped during a 2016 interview on Hallmark’s Home & Family. “It’s a way to stay creatively stimulating when I’m not filming and working.”

He added, “We wanted to be closer to family so we moved back to the East Coast to be by them. It’s the only place in the United States that has that kind of architecture with old stone barns and old stone houses.”

Blucas and his wife, Ryan Haddon, moved to Pennsylvania from California in 2012 after three years of marriage. Around that time, they also welcomed their eldest daughter together. (Ryan, 53, also shares two older children with ex-husband Christian Slater.)

In addition to renovating the property that offered all sorts of “projects for life,” Blucas and Ryan took in a number of four-legged friends.

“We have 15 chickens, two rabbits, a dog, cats — the wildlife is [off-the-charts],” the My Life With the Walter Boys star gushed at the time, one year after they welcomed their second daughter. “We’re seeing [foxes and deer] constantly. We do house all of them. In fact, my wife [and I] had to institute a new rule. … We were working on the main house and my wife comes home with chicks and so, I’m like, ‘Where we’re going to put them, honey?’”

Blucas also frequently highlights his renovation projects on social media.

“When we bought our old house, the list of things that needed to be done was staggering,” he wrote via Instagram in January 2023. “I didn’t own a tractor yet, and frankly, it wasn’t on that list. Needed that money for other things. But I remember my dad saying, ‘You can’t have a farm and not have a tractor.’ My old man has never been so right.”

Blucas added, “As my DIY projects and historic home design and restoration business have grown, I’ve upsized and added to my equipment collection. From something I didn’t think I needed, to something I truly couldn’t do without. Presently, rebuilding the stone courtyard walls around the barn.”

Dayle died at Blucas and Ryan’s residence on Friday after a suspected carbon monoxide leak. She was 76.

“New Hope Eagle Volunteer Fire Company was also on scene and detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property,” a police report read. “Two medics were transported to Doylestown Hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and one Solebury Township Police Officer was treated at the scene. This tragedy is currently under investigation by the Solebury Township Police Department.”

Dayle is survived by Ryan — her daughter with ex-husband Glenn Souham — and her four grandchildren.

“The bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this Earthly realm. Shining somewhere as radiantly as ever where it’s most needed, I have no doubt,” Ryan wrote via Instagram later on Friday. “She was a woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful.”

QVC Host Kerstin Lindquist Tears Up in Final ‘Saturday Morning Q’ Show

28 December 2024 at 12:23

QVC’s Kerstin Lindquist bid a fond farewell to Saturday Morning Q after being part of the show for nearly 11 years.

“It’s all been so so good,” Lindquist said on Saturday, December 28, alongside her cohost Alberti Popaj. “I think some of the funniest times we’ve had have been when we can’t stop laughing where we’ve had to walk off set. The Halloween shows are always my absolute favorite as well.”

Lindquist also recalled filming the show during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

“I know it sounds crazy, but some of my favorite memories were during the pandemic when there was nobody here,” she shared. “It was just us. We were trying to stay on the air for you and how we could still be together for you because that’s what this show is all about and we did it.”

QVC Host Kerstin Lindquist Leaving Shopping Network After 13 Years

On December 21, Lindquist announced she would be leaving QVC after 13 years to focus more time on family, as well as faith and wellness in women’s lives.

While she still has six more QVC shifts in January 2025, Lindquist couldn’t help but share how important Saturday Morning Q was to her life for more than a decade.

“Everybody says this but it’s always the crew and it’s the people behind it,” she shared with viewers. “You know what else I’m going to miss when it comes to you? Every Saturday, I got to sit with you. We got to have almost like a talk show and we could feel you guys out there. … I’m going to miss that family feeling with our viewers every morning.”

In addition to receiving positive messages from her friends and fellow QVC hosts Jennifer Coffey and Rachel Boesing during the show, Lindquist also received high praise and compliments from her longtime cohost.

“You have the biggest heart of any person that I’ve ever met and I love you dearly, but more than anything, your faith inspires me every single day and your ability to always bring the most energy to everything that you do,” Popaj said. “From taking care of your family to taking care of the people here at work to taking care of our customers at home. I love you and I’m truly going to miss you.”

Lindquist embraced Popaj in a hug before wiping away tears and presenting her final product of the show.

“Thank you guys so much for being with me for 11 years on this show,” she said when signing off. “Next week, you get a fantastic new host and I can’t wait to see you all grow. This is going to be the best show in 2025.”

Host Jennifer Coffey Is Leaving QVC After 13 Years

As Lindquist prepares for a new chapter of her life, she revealed in a blog post that she will be working on her “StRest” podcast, health coaching and a book deal that includes a devotional coming in 2025.

“This has not been an easy decision but at the same time it’s been extremely simplistic,” she wrote via her blog. “I am leaving because the Lord has shown me it’s time to use the gifts He has given me to serve women more pointedly in faith and wellness.”

Saturday Morning Q airs on QVC Saturdays at 10 a.m. ET.

Andi Dorfman Hospitalized With Hematomas 1 Week After Giving Birth

28 December 2024 at 11:46

Andi Dorfman underwent a “quick/safe procedure” at the hospital less than one week after giving birth.

“Welp, we’re back! This time for Mama (minor setback and need a quick/safe procedure) but got a quick snuggle with this little nugget first,” Dorfman, 37, wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, December 28, sharing a hospital selfie with her infant daughter.

She added, “Lesson Learned: No matter how clueless you are about motherhood, you still know your body best! Listen to it! Yes, recovery is tough and everyone is different but your instincts are valid (and probably right).”

The former Bachelorette gave birth to daughter Harper Bell on December 20, her first baby with husband Blaine Hart. After they were discharged from the labor and delivery ward, Dorfman started experiencing “a ton of pain.”

“It was getting worse by the day,” she recalled on Saturday. “Despite the internet saying recovery takes the, I still felt something was wrong and finally after trying every home remedy, I called my doctors and they told me to come right in.”

Dorfman was diagnosed with “one large and one small hematoma” that was causing her discomfort. According to the Cleveland Clinic, a hematoma is defined as a closed wound, where blood collects and fills a space inside your body because it can’t flow or drain out.

“Within a few hours, we were at the hospital and prepped for surgery,” Dorfman wrote on Saturday. “A very straightforward procedure but still pretty terming having a 6-day-old baby, plus loads of hormones still lurking.”

The former attorney further stressed the importance of trusting “your body” and instincts when something feels off.

“Trust that your doctors do truly care about your health and well-being and don’t be afraid to reach out to them,” Dorfman concluded. “I felt some guilt worrying about myself instead of my daughter but realized she’s no good if I’m no good. Hope this helps anyone out there doubting their own postpartum recovery.”

Dorfman rose to fame on Juan Pablo Galavis’ season 18 of The Bachelor in 2014, later becoming the next Bachelorette. On her season, Dorfman got engaged to Josh Murray only to split within months. She later found love with Hart and they tied the knot in 2023. Dorfman announced in August that she was pregnant with the couple’s first baby.

“Introducing … Harper Bell Hart,” Dorfman wrote via Instagram on December 22. “Our sweet girl came into this world at a solid 7lbs 13 ounces and towering tall like her Daddy at 20.5 inches! We are more in love with her than we could ever have imagined. I cry on the spot just looking at her and Dad is completely wrapped around her cute little finger.”

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky are celebrating a blended family holiday this December!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 55, and her estranged husband, 54, brought the holiday cheer to Aspen, Colorado with daughters Farrah, 36, Alexia, 28, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16. (Farrah is Richards’ daughter from a previous relationship.)

In a video posted to Sophia’s TikTok account, the Umansky-Richards clan celebrated together with gift opening by the tree, home breakfasts and nights out in the snowy western town, where the family famously has a second house. “Santa came last night!” yelled an excited Richards, jumping on a bed in the opening of Sophia’s video.

The sisters continued to capture their holiday celebrations on social media, including wearing matching Christmas pajamas, hitting the ski slopes and having dad Umansky check their winter boots for spiders.

In addition to at-home activities, the family watched Wicked in theaters together.

Sophia posted a TikTok video showing each family member’s reaction before and after seeing the movie music.

“This is me after Wicked, leave me alone,” Richards said, as she was crying in the theater.

“Mom was cooking all day and day was cutting the turkey,” Sophia narrated over a video of Richards and Umansky in the kitchen together. (Us Weekly confirmed in July 2023 that Richards and Umansky separated after two decades of marriage. The Agency founder moved out of their shared house in Los Angeles earlier this year, but they have yet to file for divorce.)

Sophia also clued fans into what they got one another for the holidays. They celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah, which overlapped this holiday season.

“My mom gave my dad his Christmas present, or one of them, which was an art piece for the house,” Sophia added in her video.

Fans also seemed happy to see the estranged couple put on a united front.

“Damn. I’m so HAPPY I could cry. My favorite family, ALL TOGETHER!! Even Storm!,” a social media user wrote via TikTok comment. “This has been a GLORIOUS Christmas! LOVE YOU UMANSKYS!”

Another commenter even hoped that Richards and Umansky should reconcile.

“Tell our parents we want them to stay together,” the fan wrote.

During season 14 of RHOBH, Richards and Umansky shocked fans with news of their separation after 27 years of marriage. Their relationship status was also featured on Netflix’s Buying Beverly Hills. While the real estate show only lasted for two seasons, it starred Farrah, Alexia and Sophia as they followed in Umansky’s footsteps at The Agency.

TikToker Kylan Darnell Addresses Backlash of Designer Dupes in Gift Haul

28 December 2024 at 11:12

TikTok star Kylan Darnell’s luxury Christmas haul went viral over speculation that many of the designer presents were actually dupes.

“I don’t know what to say because I don’t really owe y’all an explanation,” Darnell, 20, said in a Friday, December 27, TikTok video. “Some of my stuff that’s designer is real and some of my stuff is fake. I thought that was, like, an everybody thing.”

She added, “I know people that I go to college with [and] their parents have way more money than I could ever dream of having [and they] have real and have fake. I didn’t know that would be that big of an issue.”

After Christmas on Wednesday, December 25, Darnell and sister Izzy posted individual videos of the luxury holiday presents they received from their parents. The videos, which have since been deleted from TikTok, featured the sisters marveling over handbags and shoes from Chanel, Dior and more famous luxury brands. (Darnell initially rose to fame as one of “Bama Rush” hopefuls going through 2022 sorority recruitment at the University of Alabama.)

Social media users flooded both of the influencers’ comment sections, claiming that most of the items weren’t actually name-brand as advertised.

“I have real and I have fake. I didn’t know that this was going to blow up the world,” Darnell said on Friday. “My mom [gave] us some real things and some fake things. I thought that was normal. I didn’t mean to offend anyone, but whenever my mom hands me Christmas presents, I was raised to be grateful for whatever I got.”

“I would never do that to somebody. I would be like, ‘Oh, thank you. I love it.’ And I would still wear it,” she stressed. “I’ve seen so many people that are uber-rich be like, ‘I  don’t care if it’s real or fake. Like, who cares?’ That’s why I didn’t think it would be a problem to post it.”

Darnell — who further noted that she didn’t even “think to ask” about each gift’s authenticity — also clapped back at the “far-fetched” rumors about her family and their financial situation.

“I’m just gonna keep being positive and ignore it because the more hate I get, the more money I make,” she quipped. “Actually, keep hating because maybe next time, you’ll buy my next Gucci bag!”

Darnell and her sister reposted their holiday haul on Saturday, December 28 and “shared receipts” from each purchase.

“We have to show the tags otherwise you guys will clock us,” Darnell quipped, holding up a Louis Vuitton handbag purchased secondhand from Forward, a resale website for luxury goods.

Krysten Ritter's Favorite James Van Der Beek Memory 'Still' Makes Her Laugh

28 December 2024 at 11:00

Krysten Ritter has fond memories of her time on the short-lived sitcom Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23, particularly about working with costar James Van Der Beek.

“I love James. The Dancing With the Stars stuff still makes me laugh,” Ritter, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly while chatting about her new film Sonic the Hedgehog 3. “We got along so well. We had such a great time together.” (In the series, Van Der Beek’s character competed on DWTS several years before he would go on to do so IRL in 2019.)

Van Der Beek, 47, played a fictional and heightened version of himself on the ABC series, which ran for two seasons from 2012 to 2013. Ritter starred as Chloe, the show’s titular difficult roommate to Dreama Walker’s June and a friend of Van Der Beek’s.

Reflecting on the show, Ritter told Us that her “absolute favorite thing in comedy that I’ve ever done” was an episode in which her character pretended to be an editor for People magazine, during which she used her power to put Van Der Beek on the cover and slapped an employee on both sides of their face using both hands, which she dubbed the “smackwich.”

“That episode, that’s a good rewatch,” she shared. “I rewatched that episode maybe, like, a year ago and I was like, ‘This is gold.’ This show was so ahead of its time. It was so well written. It was so fun. I love playing that character so much.”

Ritter holds a special place in her heart for several of her past projects, in addition to Don’t Trust the B—-. “I’m so lucky that I’ve been in really cool things. I’m so lucky. I’m so grateful,” she gushed. “I don’t know if there’s one more than the other, but obviously Jessica Jones is a big one. That’s like a daily thing, but Breaking Bad‘s really up there too. Two very cool shows that I’m very proud to be a part of.”

Ritter starred as Jessica Jones on the Netflix series of the same name from 2015 to 2019 and appeared as Jane Margolis on Breaking Bad from 2009 to 2010. Her latest role as Director Rockwell in Sonic 3 is a memorable one for the actress, as the film will mark one of her first projects that her 5-year-old son, Bruce, will get to see. (She shares her son with longtime partner Adam Granduciel.)

“He was about 15 months old and I played a big scary mean witch [in the movie Nightbooks], and I would practice some of my lines on him and he would laugh and he would be on set and see me in these big costumes,” she shared. “And now, the kid’s obsessed with Halloween and I don’t know why. We wonder why because he was exposed to all of that fun, over-the-top scary stuff. So that’s the only thing that he has seen.”

She continued: “I have some Jessica Jones little action figures, so he knows about Jessica Jones, but he could not see any of that ever. So, this will be the first thing that he’s able to see of my work, which is really exciting.”

'Mama & Tata' Creator Allegedly in $33.6 Million Debt Since Husband's Death

28 December 2024 at 10:30
Hamptons Socialite Candice Miller Reportedly in 33 6 Million Debt After Husbands Death
Candice Miller

Influencer Candice Miller is reportedly in debt after her husband Brandon Miller’s death earlier this year.

Candice, 42, recently filed court papers obtained by The New York Times on Friday, December 27, claiming that Brandon had been $33.6 million in debt when he died in July. According to the former “Mama & Tata” social media star, she only has $8,000 in a bank account and is unable to repay Brandon’s loans. Candice also claimed that Brandon died without a will.

News broke this summer that Brandon, a property developer, died by suicide. While Candice initially deactivated her social media following her spouse’s death, she claimed in the recent court papers that he now owes more than $20 million in unsecured loans from UBS Bank, BMO Bank and American Express.

The Times further reports that Candice has also benefitted from $15 million worth of Brandon’s life insurance policies and sold their joint residence earlier in December. Per the outlet, Candice alleged that she had no knowledge of the financial situation ahead of his death.

Candice Miller Breaks Silence on Husband Brandon Miller's Death

Candice has not publicly addressed the court battle, with the Times reporting that she declined to comment.

Brandon had been found unconscious in the couple’s Hamptons estate in New York this summer. He was 43.

“Candice is devastated by the loss of her soul mate, and her two young daughters’ lives are forever impacted by the loss of their beloved daddy,” a family spokesperson said in a statement at the time.

In September, Candice was sued for $195,000 in unpaid rent on their Manhattan condo. The documents obtained by Us Weekly claimed that Candice failed to pay the monthly cost. Her lawyers argue in their newly filed response that Candice should not be involved since her name was reportedly never on the apartment lease.

Candice and Brandon got married in 2009, later welcoming two daughters. Their family life was chronicled on her now-defunct “Mama & Tata” blog.

“On most days, what I really look forward to is arriving home, and sitting for dinners with my husband and my girls,” Candice told Mini Magazine in 2019. “Followed by some very yummy snuggles before bedtime, where we all profess our love for one another over and over again. Literally, we do that!”

Candice Miller Sued for $195,000 in Unpaid Rent After Husband’s Death

Despite Candice and Brandon’s lavish lifestyle, they wanted their daughters to be “kind, good humans.”

“It’s important to me that I raise girls who are kind, good humans. Girls who are compassionate, sensitive, respectful, reliable, honest, and strong,” Candice told the outlet. “I want my girls to know that they can follow their biggest dreams and know to never give up. I want them to be confident in everything they do and know that they are SO loved and supported every step of the way.”

She added, “I already know they will be wonderfully loving, compassionate, good humans, but I want them to always be themselves. I want them to be their own unique individuals, strong, independent, and fearless when it comes to voicing their mind.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted Holding Hands on NYC Date Night

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Spotted on Date Night in New York City After Christmas
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

Fresh off Travis Kelce’s Christmas Day football victory, he reunited with girlfriend Taylor Swift in the Big Apple.

Swift and Kelce, both 35, were spotted in social media footage heading to dinner in New York City on Friday, December 27, coordinating in tan outfits.

Swift shimmered in a bedazzled, tweed Stella McCartney blazer over a black minidress, diamond-patterned Sheertex tights with Versace platform boots. Kelce, for his part, opted for a beige cardigan and khakis with an olive-colored shirt and a black baseball cap.

The couple were seen holding hands as they entered and exited the eatery. Swift and the Kansas City tight end were also spotted alongside her longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff and his wife, actress Margaret Qualley.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Prove They're So New York on Dinner Date

Two days earlier, Kelce helped secure the Chiefs the No. 1 seed in its AFC conference going into the playoffs. The Chiefs beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Christmas Day game on Wednesday, December 25. During the matchup, Kelce scored his third touchdown of the season and broke Tony Gonzalez’s team record for most receptions.

“It’s everything to me. Tony’s been a mentor to me, he’s been there right there for me [with] any questions I’ve ever had,” Kelce said at the time. “I feel like I’m still trying to fill that guy’s shoes. He’s such an unbelievable competitor and I’ve got so much love for him. It’s an honor to be in conversations with him.”

Swift, who did not go to the game, subtly supported her boyfriend by dropping a “like” on several social media posts about the newly shattered record.

Swift and Kelce have been dating since summer 2023 after a missed connection at her Eras Tour, which the NFL star later called out on an episode of his “New Heights” podcast.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Grab Dinner in NYC After US Open Date

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she told TIME in a December 2023 profile. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other.”

Swift and Kelce took their relationship public when she hit up one of his Chiefs games that fall.

“By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game. We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date,” the Grammy winner quipped to the outlet. “When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care.”

According to Swift, she and Kelce are both “just proud of each other.”

Kelce, for his part, feels the same and publicly attended many of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts since they got together. After she concluded the shows earlier this month, he organized a celebratory “End of an Era” theme party with many of their mutual friends.

Marc Blucas and Wife Ryan Haddon's Complete Relationship Timeline

28 December 2024 at 09:16
Hallmark Star Marc Blucas and Wife Ryan Haddons Relationship Timeline Through the Years
Marc Blucas and Wife Ryan Haddons

Actor Marc Blucas and his wife, Ryan Haddon, have been together for more than a decade.

Blucas, best known for roles in Summer Catch, First Daughter and a slate of Hallmark movies married Haddon in 2009. Together, they share two daughters. (Haddon also coparents two older kids with ex-husband Christian Slater.)

“My family’s always going to be more important to me than my career,” the actor told Wake Forest University’s alumni magazine in 2019. “Right now, my kids are at an age where they want to be around me.”

Blucas will even fly home every two weeks from set just to see his loved ones. He and Haddon live with their blended brood in a renovated farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania.

“You know what’s amazing, our house was built in 1711, you know, before George Washington was born. … It’s a way to stay creatively stimulating when I’m not filming and working,” Blucas gushed during a 2016 interview on Hallmark’s Home & Family. “We wanted to be closer to family so we moved back to the East Coast to be by them. It’s the only place in the United States that has that kind of architecture with old stone barns and old stone houses.”

According to Blucas, the property has become “projects for life.”

“We have 15 chickens, two rabbits, a dog, cats — the wildlife is [off-the-charts],” he added. “We’re seeing [foxes and deer] constantly. We do house all them. In fact, my wife [and I] had to institute a new rule. … We were working on the main house and my wife comes home with chicks and so, I’m like, ‘Where we’re going to put them, honey?’”

Blucas and Haddon left Los Angeles for Pennsylvania the same year that their eldest daughter was born.

“From 25 to 35, it was a great place to be,” he told the Wake Forest alumni magazine in 2019. “I was single. It’s the heartbeat of the industry I was in, and I needed to learn it and make the relationships.”

He added at the time, “It’s Groundhog Day in L.A. It’s 70 and perfect all the time, but you can’t really mark time. There’s no cycle of life and death. The leaves don’t fall off the trees. After a while, you blink, and five years go by, and you don’t even know it because the trees don’t grow.”

I honor her. I bow to her. I revere all the paths and adventures taken. I saw her be golden and always reach for the Light in all areas of her life.”

During the Kansas City Chiefs’ Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, it was rumored that Taylor Swift made a low-key appearance in the crowd.

During the Wednesday, December 25, game in Pennsylvania, several attendees claimed via social media that they saw Swift, 35, sitting in a private box wearing a white cardigan and her signature red lip.

Swift, however, was not present at Acrisure Stadium on Wednesday. The attendee in question, a TikToker named Olivia, has since addressed the comparisons.

“Today, I was at the Steelers [versus] Kansas City game for Christmas and I was sitting in a box seat with my best friend,” Olivia said in a video posted later on Wednesday. “We were having a really, really nice time. … I would see a lot of people take pictures of me or wave to me. I would wave back, like, I didn’t want to be mean or rude. I was like, ‘Maybe they think I’m Taylor Swift?’ I can see it from far away.”

Olivia said that a “staff member came up” to her when the game ended, stating that she was going viral on social media for presumably being Swift.

“I’m sorry to the people that thought I was Taylor Swift, but yeah, everyone was like, ‘Is that Taylor Swift in the white sweater?’ It was me,” Olivia quipped. “There were a bunch of videos of me standing up or me sitting down or, like, talking to my friend. It was a whole thing.”

She concluded, “I hope you had a really nice time otherwise, but very sorry about that one.”

Swift has been a staple at Kansas City Chiefs football games since fall 2023 when she started dating tight end Travis Kelce.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” the Grammy winner told TIME in December 2023. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

This season, however, Swift has only made it to home games at Missouri’s Arrowhead Stadium. After Kelce, 35, and the Chiefs won 29-10 on Wednesday, Swift shared her support from afar.

Swift dropped “likes” on several Instagram posts highlighting Kelce’s latest team milestone. He is now the team’s receiver with the most touchdowns, surpassing retired athlete Tony Gonzalez.

“It’s everything to me. Tony’s been a mentor to me, he’s been there right there for me [with] any questions I’ve ever had,” Kelce said in a postgame interview. “I feel like I’m still trying to fill that guy’s shoes. He’s such an unbelievable competitor and I’ve got so much love for him. It’s an honor to be in conversations with him.”

Professional boxer Paul Bamba has died at the age of 35.

Bamba was managed by singer Ne-Yo, who confirmed his death via a joint statement with the athlete’s family on Friday, December 27.

“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of beloved son, brother, friend and boxing champion Paul Bamba, whose light and love touched countless lives,” the statement read. “He was a fierce yet confident competitor with an unrelenting ambition to achieve greatness. But more than anything, he was a tremendous individual that inspired many with his exceptional drive and determination.”

The note concluded, “We are heartbroken by his passing and kindly ask for privacy and understanding during this difficult time as we collectively navigate our grief.”

Most Shocking Celebrity Deaths of All Time

Ne-Yo, 45, shared the same statement on his Instagram Story set to Nipsey Hussle’s “Victory Lap.”

Bamba signed with Ne-Yo’s management company in November. It marked the musician’s first foray into the boxing ring.

“To be completely honest? Just belief in the fighter,” the “Miss Independent” singer told NBC News last month of the career move. “Realizing places I could help him, realizing places he could help me, it all made sense. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t shoot. So let me see what it’s about, let me give it a try.”

Ne-Yo, in particular, was inspired by Bamba’s “drive and dedication to a cause.”

“You’d be surprised how rare that is nowadays,” he added at the time. “Like everybody wants something handed to them. You know what I mean? Everybody wants it the quick and easy way. And Paul Bamba is not one of them cats.”

Six days before Bamba’s sudden passing — a cause of death has not been confirmed — he was crowned WBA Gold Cruiserweight champion after a fight against Rogelio Medina.

“This year I set out with a goal. I did just that,” Bamba wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, December 25. “Wasn’t easy there were many obstacles that I adapted to overcame and kept on the path we set regardless of extenuating circumstances. 14 fights. 14 knockouts ending with the WBA GOLD cruiserweight world title.”

He gushed, “Blessed to have my family my team and all my supporters along the way. That being said if you got what some might call an ‘outlandish goal,’ GO chase it. Anyone who thinks that isn’t as brave as you, prove people wrong!”

After the victory, Ne-Yo also paid tribute via his Instagram.

“The best is yet to come. Congrats my guy!!” he wrote earlier this week. “Honored to be your manager. Let’s keep going!!!”

OG Maco

Rapper OG Maco has died. He was 32.

“With heavy hearts, we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beloved ben, known to the world as OG Maco,” the musician’s family wrote in a Friday, December 27, Instagram statement on his official page. “His life was a testament to resilience, creativity and boundless love. Through his music, passion and unwavering spirit, he touched so many lives and left a lasting impact.”

The statement continued, “While we grieve this immense loss, we also celebrate the extraordinary life he lived — one that will continue to inspire and uplift others. Maco’s influence, both as an artist and as a person, will remain forever etched in our hearts.”

A cause of death for Maco, real name Benedict Chiajulam Ihesiba Jr., has not been publicly shared. It was previously reported that he suffered a gunshot wound. TMZ alleged earlier this month that police were called to Maco’s Los Angeles home after a firearm went off. Per the outlet, Maco was subsequently taken to a local hospital for surgery.

“He is currently in critical but stable condition,” a December 16 statement from Macy’s family read. “He is receiving the best possible care and we are staying hopeful as he continues to fight. … We thank you for your understanding, support and continued prayers during this difficult time.”

Maco is survived by his parents and his older sister.

“For those who wish to offer condolences, share memories or connect with the family, please reach out through the account,” the Friday statement added. “Your support means more than words can express. To all of Maco’s fans, friends and supporters: thank you for standing by him throughout his journey.”

The message concluded, “Today, we celebrate a life that was extraordinary in every way. With love and gratitude, the family of OG Maco.”

Celebrity Deaths of 2024: Stars We Lost This Year

Maco rose to fame in 2014 with the release of his debut single, “U Guessed It” featuring 2 Chainz.

“It’s so crazy because every day I wake up, and I’m more famous,” he quipped to Vice later that same year. “I think it’s like this for everybody in the city who actually ends up making it. It was a long period of ‘You’re angry because, you know, I’m nice! And nobody’s paying attention!’”

At the time, Maco noted that he drew from his emotions to create his tracks.

“I pull from it. But because I can rap, it’s not just pure yelling,” he explained to the outlet. “It’s formatted, but it’s really just my pure emotion.”

TV Shows That Went Through Showrunner Changes: 'Handmaid's Tale' and More

28 December 2024 at 06:30

TV Shows That Faced Several Showrunner Changes

Chances are if your favorite show felt different over the years, a showrunner shift occurred at some point behind the scenes.

Law & Order: Organized Crime attempted to solidify itself as a successful spinoff of Law & Order: SVU but instead it has continued to make headlines for numerous showrunners exiting the series. The police procedural, which premiered in 2021 on NBC, stars Christopher Meloni as Elliot Stabler, reprising his role from SVU.

By the time the show was renewed for its fifth season — and moved to Peacock — it had gone through seven showrunner changes. No official statement was made about the numerous swaps in the writers’ room.

Meanwhile, The Handmaid’s Tale became a household name with Bruce Miller at the helm. The hit series then faced a shakeup right before its sixth and final season when Miller stepped down as showrunner. He remained a writer and executive producer but passed on his duties to executive producers Eric Tuchman and Yahlin Chang.

TV’s Shadiest Behind-the-Scenes Shakeups

“We are ending our show on our own creative terms,” he told Entertainment Weekly in 2022 before his departure. “Do I know what happens in season 6? Yes, I did think about the stuff that happens in season 6 for a while.”

He was replaced by Sean Jablonski, who left due to “creative differences” and David Graziano took over for the final episodes of the season. After Law & Order: Organized Crime was renewed for a fourth season, John Shiban was brought on as the newest showrunner but he didn’t stick around and Olmstead was brought back to finish up the scripts as an executive producer.

“The bright light that is Dayle has dimmed in this Earthly realm. Shining somewhere as radiantly as ever where it’s most needed, I have no doubt,” the journalist wrote via Instagram. “She was a woman in her power, yet soft and attentive to all. Deeply creative and curious, gifted with beauty inside and out. Always kind and thoughtful.”

She added, “In conversation, she could go to the deepest of places and also soar the highest heights of spiritual understanding. She held so many up, saw their greatness sometimes hidden to them, and always built bridges with her own connections to help them ascend. She was everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.”

Ryan further noted that she will continue to “honor” Haddon’s memory.

Denzel Washington and Wife Pauletta Washington s Relationship Timeline 356

Denzel Washington and wife Pauletta Washington’s relationship blossomed at the start of his career.

The couple first connected while filming the 1977 TV film, Wilma: The Wilma Rudolph Story. However, Denzel and Paulette didn’t grow closer until the following year. During a 2018 interview on Live With Kelly and Ryan, Denzel hinted that greater forces were at work to set him up with his future wife.

“About a year later there was a party I was invited to … and she was there,” he recalled. “At that party, I talked about going to see a play. I went to see the play and at intermission, the lights went up. And [Pauletta] was sitting [near me].”

Denzel recalled Pauletta telling him that she “just happened to go see the show,” but the actor teased that he didn’t buy it. Despite his joke later on, Denzel and Pauletta ended up hitting it off and the couple wed in 1983.

One year after their nuptials, the couple welcomed their first child, son John David Washington. They later expanded their family with daughter Katia and twins Olivia and Malcolm in 1986 and 1991, respectively.
