Tina Knowles expressed her condolences after Howard University law professor Kiah Duggins was killed in the recent American Airlines plane crash.

“So very saddened by the loss of this beautiful accomplished young woman,” Knowles, 71, wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 31. “Rest in peace to her family sending condolences and love to you.”

She added, “God bless your soul, Kiah❤❤❤.”

Knowles also shared a graphic with Duggins’ portrait, which read, “Rest in Peace. Professor Kiah Duggins was among those lost in last night’s plane crash in D.C. Professor Duggins was set to begin a new chapter as a professor at Howard University School of Law this fall. May her memory be an inspiration to all.”

Washington Sports Teams Send Condolences to Plane Crash Victims, Families

News broke on Wednesday, January 29, that a commercial American Airlines plane traveling from Wichita, Kansas, crashed in the Potomac River after a collision with a military helicopter. There were reportedly four crew members and 60 passengers on board, including Duggins.

Howard University is an HBCU located in Washington, D.C., and the school’s president later issued a tribute to Duggins.

“It is with profound sadness that the Howard University community and the Howard University School of Law have learned of the passing of Professor Kiah Duggins, who was among those lost in the mid-air plane collision at Reagan National Airport,” Dr. Ben Vinson III said in a Thursday, January 30, X statement. “We ask for privacy and respect for Professor Duggins’ family, students and colleagues during this difficult time.”

The university’s official X page reposted Vinson’s message before sharing a longer obituary via LinkedIn.

“We ask for privacy and respect for Professor Duggins’ family, students, and colleagues during this difficult time. Plans to honor her legacy will be shared in coming days,” the statement read, in part. “We encourage our community to seek any support they may need.”

Duggins had recently accepted a position as a faculty member at Howard’s law school. She previously worked as a civil rights attorney.

“She dedicated her career to fighting against unconstitutional policing and unjust money bail practices in Tennessee, Texas and Washington, D.C,” the university statement added.

In addition to Duggins’ passing, there were also 14 youth figure skaters onboard the aircraft. The amateur athletes were traveling home from the U.S. Figure Skating Team’s development camp held in Wichita earlier this month.

“We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims’ families closely in our hearts,” a statement from the organization read. “We will continue to monitor the situation and will release more information as it becomes available.”

Jessica Alba is sharing a glimpse into her mindset as she moves forward with her separation from Cash Warren.

In a social media post, Alba, 43, shared a message from Stråla Yoga founder Tara Stiles about the power of healing.

“Soft is the new strong,” the quote read via Alba’s Instagram Story on Thursday, January 30. “Soft has been waiting all along.”

The Honest Company cofounder also included a snippet of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s hit song “Our House” to play in the background of the post. The 1970 track is a love song believed to be about the carefree early stages of a relationship.

In recent weeks, Alba has shared several cryptic quotes via her Instagram Story as she adjusts to a new chapter of her life.

All the Clues Jessica Alba and Cash Warren Were Headed for a Split

Earlier this month, the Fantastic Four actress reposted a message from writer Yung Pueblo that read: “How do you build a good life? Relentlessly follow your intuition. Build with people who also love to grow. Take responsibility for your healing. Love yourself so deeply that you feel at home in your own body and mind. Teach yourself to forgive. Never stop being a kind person.”

On January 8, news broke that Alba and Warren, 36, had recently separated and were preparing to file for divorce after 16 years of marriage.

One week later, Alba herself addressed her decision to separate from the Pair of Thieves cofounder.

“I’ve been on a journey of self-realization and transformation for years — both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” Alba wrote via Instagram on January 16. “I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.”

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s Honest Relationship Quotes Before Split

Alba — who shares Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 6, with Warren — assured fans that both parents are “moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family.”

While Warren has not publicly commented on the split, a source previously told Us that he’s “been slowly moving things out of their house.” The recent Los Angeles fires, however, gave the couple the chance to spend “more time under one roof as a family.”

“They are good parents and partners in business together but lost their spark and grew apart,” a source told Us. “Jessica and Cash made the decision together that this was no longer working or healthy for anyone.”

Jay Leno Laughs After Shopping Trip With Wife Led to an $800 Pair of Shoes

Nine months after being granted a conservatorship over his wife, Mavis Leno, Jay Leno is sharing an update on how they are doing.

While talking with People about his new movie, Midas Man, Leno also opened up about life with his wife of 44 years since she was diagnosed with dementia.

“You try to find the humor in this situation,” he told People, recalling a recent shopping trip he took his wife on.

“I can see she’s a little down, [so I said], ‘Come on, we’ll go to the mall.’ So we go to Nordstrom and I said, ‘You see anything you like?’ ‘No, no.’ So we look at the shoes, and [she says], ‘Oh, I like these sneakers.'”

Seeing the happy look on Mavis’s face when she found a pair of shoes she liked elated Leno. So much so, People reports that he encouraged Mavis to pick out another pair she liked.

Jay Leno ‘Enjoys Taking Care’ of Wife Mavis Amid Her Dementia Diagnosis

“I see she’s happy, and I said, ‘This is great.’ So I got two pairs of sneakers, and [the cashier says] ‘That’s $24. And the other pair, that’s $847,'” he continued.

“I go, ‘No, I only had two pairs of sneakers. I thought these were $24.’ [The cashier] goes, ‘Yeah, these are $24. But the other ones were [designer sneakers]. It looked like the guy took a pair of the same sneakers and used a bedazzler on them, and they were $800,” Leno joked.

“I look at my wife and said, ‘You like these?’ I go, ‘Honey, you look great.'”

Leno said he ultimately paid the bill, adding that he’s “glad I can afford this and it made my wife happy. It just made me laugh. Just typical.”

“I thought the $24 pair looked better than those, but that’s OK. It just made me laugh, and I think when you’re dealing with this kind of thing,” referring to Mavis’s battle with dementia, “you find your moments where you can have a laugh and have fun, and my wife really likes them and felt good about it.”

“So the fact that it was the same pair of sneakers that got hit with a bedazzler, I guess that’s fine. But it just made me laugh, and that’s pretty much what it is,” he told People.

Leno was granted conservatorship over Mavis in April 2024.

At the time, Mavis’ lawyers confirmed that they were “in agreement” with Leno’s move to become Mavis’ conservator, adding that she is “receiving excellent care with her husband, Mr. Leno.”

The judge agreed, saying, “I think she’s in the least restrictive environment. I think she’s in very good care with Mr. Leno.” As People reports, the judge then directed his statements at Leno.

“Everything you’re doing is right,” the judge told Leno. “I totally understand this is a difficult period.”

Jay Leno Spotted With Bruise Taking Up Half His Face

In a 2014 interview with The Washington Post where Mavis opened up about her decision to not have any children, she called Leno the  “the single kindest human being I ever met.”

“People say marriage is difficult,” Leno shared while at Feminist Majority Foundation’s 16th Annual Global Women’s Rights Awards Gala in May 2024.

“I don’t get it. I enjoy her company. I enjoy taking care of her. We have fun. She’s the most independent woman I ever knew. Again, I just couldn’t be prouder of her.”

Shemar Moore Confirms He and Girlfriend Jesiree Dizon Split After 5 Years

Criminal Minds star Shemar Moore and his longtime girlfriend, Jesiree Dizon, have called it quits.

Moore, 54, and Dizon, 41, recently broke up but remain amicable coparents, according to People and TMZ.

Moore later addressed the speculation in a Friday, January 31, Instagram video, confirming the split before noting that their relationship status is private and “not your business.”

“It’s my life,” he said. “Mind your business [and] give us a break, give us some privacy. … She’s an amazing woman for so many reasons. Next to my mother, because my mother was a boss, Jesiree Dizon is No. 2. She is a phenomenal mother [and] is loving, attentive, caring, smart, nurturing.”

Moore added, “Breaking up ain’t easy. … I’m looking for joy, I’m looking for calm, I’m looking for peace [and] I’m looking for love in my life, in my spirit.”

Moore and Dizon had been together for nearly five years, making their Instagram debut in 2023. That same year, the pair confirmed that they were expecting their first baby together, Dizon’s third. Daughter Frankie arrived in January 2023.

“[Frankie] is the reason I’m so damn happy, and my girl Jesiree,” Moore said on The Jennifer Hudson Show earlier this month. “That’s my little baby girl. That’s my miracle. That’s little Frankie.”

Moore further explained that Frankie’s birth was his late mother Marilyn’s “dream.” (Marilyn died in 2020 after battles with multiple sclerosis and a heart condition.)

“Y’all know that Mama’s up in heaven and her dream was to see this happen,” Moore told host Jennifer Hudson. “She wanted to be a grandma, and Mama made sure I wasn’t alone. I can’t prove it, but between God and my mama, they made sure I wasn’t alone. So, now I got Jesiree and I got Frankie.”

Frankie recently turned 2, which Moore celebrated during his Jennifer Hudson Show appearance.

“We take her to the park [and] … she loves the swings, she loves the slide,” he said of Frankie’s interests. “She’s a water baby, so I just bounce her around the pool [and] swing her around in circles and throw her up, bring her down and make sure her head doesn’t go underwater ‘cause Jesiree will knock me out, but she loves the water.”

According to Moore, Frankie has “truly given [him] purpose.”

‘Criminal Minds’ Cast: Then and Now

“She saved my life,” he gushed. “I’m not gonna get heavy, but I want to say something real. My mama was my everything — my best friend, my partner-in-crime — [and] we loved hard, we fought hard but it was all for love,” he added. “I lived my whole life to make her proud and when she left, I was lost. I was like, ‘But, I’m blessed. I have a life, I have a house.’ … I was in a place of like, ‘So, what? What does it all mean? Why am I doing all this?’ And then little Frankie came along and that’s what it’s all about.”

Months earlier, Moore called Dizon a “dope-ass mama” while admitting that marriage likely wasn’t in the cards for them.

“I didn’t have a good role model of marriage in my life,” Moore told People in November 2024. “Not my mother, not my father. Nobody close to me. Who made that rule?”

Figure Skater, 12, Who Died in D.C. Plane Crash Had Already Beaten Cancer

31 January 2025 at 08:48

At just 12 years old, figure skater Brielle Beyer had already lived quite a life both on and off the ice. 

Brielle was one of the victims of the Wednesday, January 29, plane crash in Washington D.C. when American Airlines flight 5342 collided with an Army helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport. The skater was on board the plane with her mother, Justyna, as the pair returned from the U.S. National Development Camp in Wichita, Kansas. 

During an interview with ABC News on Thursday, January 30, it was revealed that Brielle was also a cancer survivor.

“She was just such a fighter in everything she did,” Brielle’s father, Andy Beyer, told reporter Whit Johnson. “She lived life to the fullest with everything. She was so proud of herself in figure skating for the progress she had made.”

Figure Skater Left Wichita Just Days Before Parents Died in Plane Crash

He added, “She just had a passion for everything she did in life. Just singing around the house, she had a beautiful singing voice. I will miss that so much because she just lit up the house with her wonderful voice.”

Andy recalled feeling uneasy when he was on his way to pick up Brielle and Justyna from the airport. 

“When it was time for the plane to land, they hadn’t landed,” he said. “We couldn’t get text messages through. I saw the fire trucks and everything and I knew. I called an air traffic controller friend of mine and she confirmed it was their flight.”

Andy said he had to wait hours to get “official word of what had happened.”

In the absence of his wife and daughter, Andy has been “truthful” with his 6-year-old son about the tragedy. 

“I’m asking if he has any questions,” he explained. “Unfortunately, he just has to relive it. He has to ask the same questions about what happened over and over. But I’m just telling him the truth, that they were in a terrible accident and that they did die.”

Andy added, “I’m just letting him know that he’s loved.”

In conclusion, Andy was asked to reflect on the last conversation he had with his daughter. 

“We were excited that she was going to be coming home. I missed them,” he said. “They were gone for six days before this happened. I really missed them. I live my life for my family. Figure skating at that level, it’s a lifestyle. It’s a whole family commitment. It takes a lot. We had a great group of coaches and other skaters that were our second family.”

Brielle was one of at least 14 figure skaters returning from Wichita who died in the plane crash. In total, at least 60 passengers and four crew members were killed.

Wynonna Judd Gives Rare Insight Into Life Raising Her Granddaughter

Wynonna Judd Shares Rare Insight Into Raising Her Granddaughter Amid Daughter Grace s Ups and Downs
Sara Kauss/FilmMagic

Wynonna Judd is opening up about what life is like raising her granddaughter, Kaliyah.

“I don’t have a computer. I don’t watch television unless it’s planned ‘cause I’m raising my 2 ½-year-old granddaughter,’ Judd, 60, shared on the Thursday, January 30, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends. “I listen to her, so I don’t really do a lot of Instagram.”

While Kaliyah doesn’t tune in to the popular kids’ show Bluey, Judd said her granddaughter is a big fan of the popular children’s entertainer Ms. Rachel. “I’m about to lose my mind,” she joked. “I can’t talk like that. I wish I could be that animated, but I just don’t know how.”

One of Kaliyah’s favorite shows that Judd said she does enjoy is Peppa Pig. “I love Peppa, but we watch all those shows,” she shared. “So, I know all about that, but I don’t know about Severance. So, that tells you where I’m at at [60].”

Wynonna Judd’s Daughter Grace Kelley’s Ups and Downs Over the Years

Judd resides with her granddaughter on her Tennessee farm. “My life on the farm is simple and sweet, which is what we need more of, I think,” she gushed to Today’s Jenna Bush Hager. “We don’t do phones at dinner. … I do what I have to do to learn how to just live off the road ‘cause I was on the road at 17. So, I never got to learn how to do life outside of show business. So, now I’m learning.”

Judd went on to note that her ideal day at home involves cooking and spending time with her loved ones. “Food, family and fun is my goal,” she stated.

Judd shares her son Elijah, 30, and daughter Grace, 28, with her ex-husband Arch Kelley III. Grace gave birth to Kaliyah in April 2022, just days before the death of her grandmother, Naomi Judd.

Judd does not have legal custody of Kaliyah but has taken care of her granddaughter amid Grace’s recent legal troubles. In April 2024, Grace was arrested for indecent exposure for flashing drivers off a highway and was charged with soliciting prostitution, indecent exposure and obstructing governmental operations. Her soliciting prostitution was reportedly dropped, while indecent exposure charge was lowered to public lewdness, according to The Daily News. She was ordered to pay $2000 and spend 60 days in jail.

Pastor Speaks Out After Wynonna Judd’s Daughter Allegedly Stole Van

That August, Grace was arrested on three charges, including attempting to flee police, driving with a suspended or revoked license and not properly operating motorcycle equipment, per court documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time. She was released the following day on a $2,750 bond.

Grace was arrested once again in October 2024 for stealing a church van in Charlottesville, Virginia. According to local news outlet The Daily Progress, Grace pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor crimes after initially being booked on seven charges. Three of the charges were reportedly felonies, including testing positive for heroin.

Judd previously opened up to Us about raising Kaliyah in June 2024, revealing she and her granddaughter “started singing together.” She exclusively shared, “My favorite thing in life is to sit on the porch with her and eat ice cream. She’s in the rocking chair and she [says,] ‘Noni, where are you going? Noni, what are you doing?’”

She continued, “Being with her in those moments [is] where I realized no amount of money can ever make you this happy. I thought it would, but it doesn’t. Lying in the bed with her before bedtime and her putting her nose against mine and me singing to her, and she’s starting to sing back … [it’s] heaven on earth.”

Anstead, 45, attended the London premiere of Zellweger’s film on Wednesday, January 29 with daughter Amelie, 21, and son Archie, 18. (The TV personality shares his eldest children with ex-wife Louise Storey, as well as 5-year-old son Hudson with ex-wife Christina Haack.)

“Midweek movie night with the kiddos,” Anstead wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 31. “The movie was absolutely utterly brilliant and the lead actress was mesmerizing and smoking HOT (I have a mega crush on her!) I’ve let the missus know she’s my hall pass.”

Amelie replied in the comments section, writing, “Had the best time! Super proud of Ren !! ❤.”

Zellweger, 55, reprises her famed role as lovelorn Bridget Jones in the fourth film sequel. She walked the red carpet without Anstead on Wednesday, stunning in a pink strapless gown, and posed with costars Hugh Grant and Leo Woodall.

Zellweger started dating Anstead in 2021 after meeting on the set of Discovery+’s Celebrity IOU: Joyride. Since then, she’s also gotten close to all three of his children.

“Renée gets along really well with Ant’s children and they spend a lot of quality time together,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2023. “Despite being in the public eye, Renée and Ant love just hanging out at home with the kids, watching movies and making dinner together. They enjoy a very low-key lifestyle.”

In addition, Zellweger has met Flip Off host Haack, 41, who recently called the Oscar winner “great” in her Us cover story.

Renee Zellweger and Ant Anstead's Whirlwind Romance: Relationship Timeline

“It’s not like Heather [Rae El Moussa] and I, where we spend a lot of time together,” Haack told Us. “It’s mostly just on the soccer field or at drop-off, but she’s super nice. She loves Hudson, and Hudson loves her. And she and Ant are happy.”

Before Haack and Anstead’s brief romance, she was married to Tarek El Moussa. Together, they share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9. Tarek, 43, is now married to Selling Sunset alum Heather, 37, and they welcomed son Tristan in 2023.

Haack’s bond with both of her ex-husbands improved amid her 2024 divorce from third husband Josh Hall, which is still ongoing.

“[After my divorce], I was dropping Hudson off at Ant’s house, and he gave me a big hug and was like, ‘I’m here for you and I’m so sorry you’re going through this,’” Haack recalled. “He said, ‘I feel like Josh is the source of the problem [and why] I couldn’t communicate.’ Now we’re back on track.”

I Used to Struggle to Line My Lips — Until I Tried Rhode’s New Peptide Lip Shape

31 January 2025 at 08:06

I may be a beauty expert, but I’ve never been able to confidently apply lip liner. Every time I try, my lips end up looking clownish and harsh rather than full and defined. I couldn’t figure out if this was because of the formulas I was using or if I was just inept at outlining my lips. Turns out it was the former. As soon as I got my hands on Rhode’s new Peptide Lip Shape, I transformed into a modern-day Michelangelo. (Except instead of sculpting marble, I became a pro lip sculptor.)

Out of Thousands of Beauty Products, These 5 Were Our Favorite Launches of 2024

Technically the Lip Shape isn’t a lip liner — it’s more of a liner-crayon hybrid that feels soft and nourishing like a lipstick. It has a creamier texture than your standard lip liner, which makes it more seamless to apply and blend. The tip, while thin and precise, isn’t pointy, to also enhance the ease of application. The rounded edge glides along the contours of my lips and never leaves any harsh lines — a major upside when completing an over-lined look.

On the off chance my lips end up looking a little too sharp, the silicone smudger on the flip side of the Lip Shape helps me to buff out the edges for a diffused appearance that helps my lips look naturally full. It’s really all in the little details.

You probably wouldn’t wear lip liner and nothing else on your lips. However, because this is a hybrid lippie and infused with skin-enhancing moisturizers, it can certainly be worn on its own. (I now wear it alone all the time!) After outlining my pout, I like to fill in the center for a cohesive, soft-focus finish. In the photos included, I’m wearing the shades Lunge (a rosy beige) and Bend (a soft peachy beige) with nothing on top. If I want a little shine I’ll add some gloss. Otherwise, the peptides in the formula keep my lips soft, supple and comfortable throughout the day.

I want just about every color in the 11-hue lineup, too, and I applaud Hailey Bieber for creating a vast range of shades that will complement all skin tones. She really thought of everything when creating this product!

I never fully understood the hype behind Rhode until I swiped this across my lips. The Lip Shape is so comprehensive to use that if you’ve never picked up a lip liner, you’ll still manage to beautifully define and contour your lips in one go. Now that Bieber’s secret to her enviable lip combos has been revealed, there’s no doubt in my mind that this will go mega-viral. Do yourself a favor and stock up before they inevitably sell out. Your lips will thank you.

When we think of the Grammy Awards, we think of Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.

Let Us make one thing clear — there’s no pitting these two powerhouses against each other. Both women have broken records and shattered ceilings throughout their careers, and they each dominate at the annual awards show in their own lanes. However, Swift and Beyoncé have frequently gone head-to-head in categories including Album of the Year and Song of the Year, with only one artist capable of coming out on top.

The trend continues with the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 2. Beyoncé earned more nominations than any other artist, racking up 11 nods for her album Cowboy Carter. Already the artist with the most wins in Grammys history, Beyoncé’s 2025 entries bumped her career total to 99 nominations, breaking yet another record.

Swift, for her part, became the first woman to earn seven Album of the Year nods following the release of her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department. She scored an additional five nominations at the 2025 awards, including Song of the Year, marking her eighth time competing in the category.

Doja! Miley! Most Daring Grammys Beauty Looks Over the Years

31 January 2025 at 08:00

Over the years, stars have left their mark on the Grammys red carpet with their over-the-top beauty looks.

Lady Gaga made a name for herself by wearing some outrageous ensembles to high-profile events. The singer turned heads when she arrived at the 64th Grammy Awards wearing a one-shoulder black and white gown by Armani Privé. The look featured a sweeping white train and open back — which she completed with an updo that showed off her jewelry by Tiffany & Co.

Gaga’s stunning appearance at the awards show came after she previously paid tribute to David Bowie‘s Life on Mars music video with bold blood orange hair and fierce eye makeup. For the New York native, the late musician “changed” her life with his music.

“Well, the moment that I saw the Aladdin Sane cover for the first time, I was 19 years old, and it just changed my perspective on everything, forever,” she said on NPR in 2016, shortly after her Grammys appearance. “It was an image that changed my life.”

She added: “That was just the beginning of my artistic birth. I started to dress more expressively. I started to go to the library and look through more art books. I took an art history class. I was playing with a band.”

Another star who isn’t afraid to be the talk of the night is Doja Cat, who covered herself in tattoos at the 2024 Grammys. The rapper added even more funk to her look with super arched razor thin brows and a bold red lip.

Makeup artist Ernesto Casillas and hairstylist Jared Henderson created an edgy look on the singer, who donned razor thin eyebrows, a bold red lip and smokey eyeshadow. Her hair was dyed platinum blonde hair and styled in a neat pixie cut. Doja also made a statement with her faux tattoos, which covered her arms, chest and face.

Zendaya’s longtime stylist, Law Roach, may have just give Us a first glimpse at her wedding shoe.

Roach, 46, snapped a pic of a bridal-esque pair of Christian Louboutin pumps on Thursday, January 31, leaving fans wondering what Zendaya, 28, will wear while tying the knot with Tom Holland.

The white suede shoe, from Zendaya’s collection with the luxury shoe label , featured a steep four-inch stiletto with a curved silhouette and a pointed toe.

“The biggest debate on the internet….. is she or isn’t she?” Roach captioned the post. “The Miss Z! We love you Christian ❤❤❤@louboutinworld What do y’all think???”

What Fans Don’t Understand About Zendaya’s Fashion Evolution

Fans eagerly shared their excitement in the comments, speculating that the actor, who got engaged to Holland, 28, before the holidays, would walk down the aisle in the Louboutins.

“THIS IS THE WEDDING SHOE????” one follower wrote. A second questioned, “Is that a WEDDING shoe??😳🥹😍,” as a third fan commented that it was giving “bridal” vibes. “❤ please be the wedding shoes,” another begged.

More followers compared the “Miss Z” (which can be preordered on christianlouboutin.com now), looked more comfortable than Zendaya’s usual go-to, the “So Kate” style, (inspired by the inimitable supermodel Kate Moss), which the Dune: Part 2 star has been wearing since she was just 14 years-old.

“The curved heel is everythingggg so much more comfortable than the so Kate’s,” the fan noted.

Along with four-inch stilettos, the “Miss Z” collection also features peep-toe styles, two-inch kitten heels and more. Zendaya’s collection ranges from timeless black patent-leather styles to neon metallic pumps. The election ranges from $1,295 to $895.

According to the official Christian Louboutin site, “Miss Z” embodies “the spirit of the 2020’s” and “sets itself apart with its innovative design.”

“The signature décolleté, slightly elongated toe and elegant curve give it a modern and refined look,” the brand noted. “Its unique sculptural heel, designed to elongate the silhouette, showcases the Maison’s signature red sole from every angle. Thanks to innovative technology, this iconic sole is now ‘Everlasting Red’ and more resistant to daily wear and tear, highlighting the Maison’s expertise.”

Kenya Moore Reacts to Speculation She Appears in 'RHOA' Season 16 Trailer

31 January 2025 at 07:32

Despite Kenya Moore’s departure from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, fans still think she appears in the season 16 trailer.

After Bravo dropped the first look at new episodes earlier this week, social media sleuths claimed they recognized Kenya’s silhouette in one frame.

“Not me,” Kenya, 54, responded to the rumors in a Thursday, January 30, X post.

Kenya joined the cast of RHOA in 2012 and held onto a peach for six seasons. Ahead of season 16, Us Weekly confirmed in June 2024 that the Bravo star would be leaving the series. It was rumored that Kenya was suspended indefinitely after allegedly sharing explicit photos of show newcomer Brittany Eady. Kenya denied the claims.

Kenya Moore Speaks Out on ‘RHOA’ Exit: ‘My Conscience Is Clean’

“Nor solicited images owned by others to use to threaten or blackmail,” she wrote via X at the time. “I have always been vindicated. I can’t talk about STORY even with people planting fake news.”

Kenya later noted that her “conscience was clean” amid the apparent scandal.

“Thank you for all the support #teamtwirl. My heart is full and my conscience is clean,” Kenya wrote in a June 2024 Instagram post. “So many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources. All this conversation and no facts being reported. If a claim or source was valid, would they need to hide? The rumors and narrative about me randomly showing nudes or revenge p[orn] is 1000% untrue. I have proof and will share soon.”

Months later, Kenya exclusively told Us Weekly how she handled the fallout from the alleged drama.

Everything to Know About ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’ Season 16

“I know I’m a tough cookie,” she told Us in November 2024. “I think for me, in the history of me in this whole TV world or reality TV world, I think that what I say always comes to light. The truth always comes to light, and I’m always right. … No one wants to be in a situation where you’re painted in a way that you know isn’t the truth or is rooted in the truth.”

She continued, “No one wants to read awful things about themselves, not be able to speak up and not be able to tell your truth. I’ve learned in my age that I have survived much worse. It’s fun to be able to take anything negative and put it behind you and focus on only things that are positive.”

While the drama is now in Kenya’s rearview mirror, she hasn’t ruled out a potential reality TV return down the line.

“I never say never,” Kenya quipped. “Hell, I never say, ‘I’m not going to have another child.’ Who knows.”

Kenya shares 6-year-old daughter Brooklyn with ex-husband Marc Daly.

Markle joined Instagram to kick off 2025 and, in the days that followed, announced her new Netflix series. (The upcoming series is the second show Markle and husband Prince Harry have launched as part of their wider deal with Netflix. Their first show, Polo, premiered last month.)

“In each episode, we join Meghan in the kitchen, garden — and even at the beehive — as she prepares to host friends both old and new,” Netflix’s description for the show read. “Whether Meghan is sharing personal tips and tricks, or taking the opportunity to learn something new, it’s a time for connection.”

Netflix also shared that the series shows how Markle, a producer on the show, “reimagines the genre of lifestyle programming” with how-tos and candid conversations with friends.

The show’s trailer, which dropped on January 2, showed Markle in the kitchen alongside some famous friends, including Spencer, Roy Choi, Mindy Kaling, Alice Waters and more. And yes, Prince Harry, 40, was also present.

“I’ve always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it,” she could be heard saying in a voiceover. “Surprising people with moments that let them know I was thinking of them.”

With Love, Meghan was initially set to premiere all eight episodes on January 15, but the release was pushed nearly two months amid the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

“I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California,” Markle said in a statement shared with Netflix’s Tudum on January 12.

With Love, Meghan is set to premiere via Netflix Tuesday, March 4.

Olympian Scott Hamilton Cries Over D.C. Plane Crash: 'Beyond Devastation'

31 January 2025 at 07:05

Scott Hamilton emotionally reacted to the recent American Airlines plane crash that killed 14 young skaters.

“It’s been overwhelming,” Hamilton, 66, said through tears during the Friday, January 31, episode of the Today show. “It’s beyond the skating community. So many people see this tragedy and the loss of these brilliant young skaters who have poured their lives into building an identity in our sport. For their lives to be taken … is just devastating [and] shocking. It just doesn’t make any sense.”

He added, “This is where the community comes together. It’s a very tight-knit, very close-knit, very wonderful, caring, supportive community. We’re no stranger to tragedy, but this is just beyond devastation.”

News broke on Wednesday, January 29, that a commercial flight traveling from Wichita, Kansas crashed into Washington, D.C.’s Potomac River after a collision with a military helicopter. The U.S. Figure Skating organization later confirmed that 14 of its young athletes were onboard.

14 Figure Skaters Killed in American Airlines Plane Crash: 'Lost Family'

“U.S. Figure Skating can confirm that several members of our skating community were sadly aboard American Airlines Flight 5342, which collided with a helicopter yesterday evening in Washington, D.C.” a statement from the skating organization read on Thursday. “These athletes, coaches and family members were returning home from National Development Camp held in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas.”

The statement added, “We are devastated by this unspeakable tragedy and hold the victims’ families closely in our hearts. We will continue to monitor the situation and will release more information as it becomes available.”

The young skaters were joined by parents, coaches and approximately 40 other passengers and four crew members. Among the victims were Skating Club of Boston coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, whom Hamilton met during the 1994 Olympics.

Figure Skaters Share Tributes After Fatal Potomac River Plane Crash

“When you’re in skating, there are no national boundaries,” Hamilton, who won one Olympic gold medal in the sport, recalled of the “wonderful and kind” couple. “We all have a shared experience and we understand what it takes to get to that level. Shishkova and Naumov were amazing champion skaters [who wanted] to build their professional lives in America.”

He continued, “To think that they’re gone. … I can’t wrap my head around the last 36 hours. It’s just been devastating. The loss is just beyond description and my heart is shattered.”

Shishkova and Naumov shared son Maxim, an aspiring skater himself but wasn’t onboard the American Airlines flight.

“Max, he’s an extraordinary talent. A few years ago at one of our Sk8 to Elimin8 Cancer events, he put on a skin-head wig and skated to ‘Walk This Way’ in tribute to me,” Hamilton said, referring to his cancer battle. “He’s got a great sense of humor. I actually sat with him for a nice visit in Wichita. … It’s just unthinkable what’s happened.”

Lindsay Arnold Shares Before and After Photos From Breast Augmentation

31 January 2025 at 06:44

Arnold first shared her plans to get a breast augmentation in December 2024, revealing that it was her Christmas present.

“It’s something I’m very excited about,” she said in a TikTok video at the time. “I know there’s mixed opinions on this type of thing, and so I get it. … If it’s not for you, it’s not for you.”

Arnold explained that she had planned to get the surgery after she was “done having kids.” The professional dancer and husband Sam Cusick share daughters Sage, 4, and June, 20 months.

“I just decided I didn’t want to wait,” she continued. “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.”

She went under the knife earlier this month and has continued to update fans on her recovery process.

“Post-surgery Lindsay is a sight to see,” she joked in a January 15 TikTok video. “Everything went great thank you for all the well wishes.”

One day prior, Arnold shared a mini-vlog with fans as she arrived at the hospital for her procedure.

“I can’t believe this is actually happening!” she told followers on January 14, before sharing a “fun fact” from her childhood that was related to her surgery.

“When I was in high school there was a rumor that went around that I got a boob job and that my dad is the one who gave me my boob job,” she recalled. “My dad is not a plastic surgeon.”
