Jay-Z is reportedly suing his former rape accuser and her lawyer, Tony Buzbee.

According to court docs obtained by Us Weekly on Monday, March 3, that Jay-Z, 55, is suing his accuser — referred to in court documents as Jane Doe — and Buzbee for abuse of process, malicious prosecution, civil conspiracy and defamation.

The lawsuit was reportedly filed in an Alabama court and alleged that Jay-Z’s accuser and Buzbee conspired to falsely accuse him of sexual assault, allegedly causing him to lose $20 million. Lawyer David Fortney is also named as a defendant in the suit.

In his complaint, the rapper (real name Shawn Carter) claims that the defendants “were soullessly motivated by greed, in abject disregard of the truth and the most fundamental precepts of human decency,” per court documents.

Jay-Z Accuser’s Lawyer Details Rapper's Alleged 'Intimidation and Harassment' 

Court documents also reportedly claim that Doe “voluntarily admitted” that Buzbee, her lawyer, “pushed her towards going forward with the false story against Mr. Carter” after an “extortionate demand letter failed to yield the financial windfall.”

Doe allegedly admitted that “Buzbee brought Jay-Z into it,” according to his filing, which also claimed that Buzbee had met Doe “for the first time at a coffee shop in Houston on the day of her maliciously false NBC News interview.”

“This new case alleges the same claims as the other one they pieced together and filed in Los Angeles,” Buzbee said in a statement to Us Weekly. “Like the one in LA, this new case in Alabama also has no legal merit. Shawn Carter’s investigators have repeatedly harassed, threatened and harangued this poor woman for weeks trying to intimidate her and make her recant her story. She hasn’t, and won’t. Instead she has stated repeatedly she stands by her claims. These same group of investigators have been caught on tape offering to pay people to sue me and my firm. After speaking with Jane Doe today, it appears that the quotes attributed to her in the lawsuit are completely made up, or they spoke to someone who isn’t Jane Doe. This is just another attempt to intimidate and bully this poor woman that we will deal with in due course. We won’t be bullied or intimidated by frivolous cases.”

In a December 2024 on-camera interview with NBC News where her identity was concealed, Doe alleged that Jay-Z had raped her in 2000 at an afterparty for the MTV Video Music Awards. She claimed to be 13 at the time of the alleged assault. Doe also alleged Sean “Diddy” Combs sexually assaulted her as well, though the disgraced mogul has denied those claims.

Jay-Z Rape Accuser ‘Never Demanded a Penny’ From Rapper, Says Attorney

Jay-Z has repeatedly denied the allegations against him since they were made public. Jay-Z’s lawsuit comes after Jane Doe’s lawsuit accusing him of rape was officially dismissed “with prejudice,” per docs obtained by Us on February 14.

“The false case against Jay-Z, that never should have been brought, has been dismissed with prejudice,” Jay-Z’s attorney Alex Spiro said in a statement to Us at the time. “By standing up in the face of heinous and false allegations, Jay has done what few can – he pushed back, he never settled, he never paid 1 red penny, he triumphed and cleared his name.”

Jay-Z, for his part, released a statement celebrating his “victory” via his company, Roc Nation.

“Today is a victory. The frivolous, fictitious and appalling allegations have been dismissed. This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere,” he wrote via X. “The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims. I would not wish this experience on anyone. The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed.”

Alleged Jay-Z Victim's Lawyer Claims Rapper Is ‘Harassing’ His Family

 

He continued, “The court must protect victims, OF COURSE, while with the same ethical responsibility, the courts must protect the innocent from being accused without a shred of evidence. May the truth prevail for all victims and those falsely accused equally.”

In January, Buzbee insisted in a statement to Rolling Stone that he would not be “bullied or intimidated” by the “desperation” of Jay-Z’s legal team.

“He and his team think the laws and rules don’t apply to them. They are flat wrong,” Buzbee’s statement read. “They also think they can bully or intimidate counsel for victims by filing meritless and frivolous pleadings full of lies and half-truths. Again, they are dead wrong. … We will address the utter lack of merit with his filing with the Court, rather than with the press.”

Christina Fulton says she is “heartbroken” to be in court with her ex Nicolas Cage and their son, Weston.

Fulton sued the pair after she was allegedly physically attacked by Weston. She claims Cage played a role in the alleged assault. (Cage and Weston have denied the allegations.)

While speaking to TMZ outside the courthouse on March 3, Fulton said, “I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that I have been heartbroken as a mother for a very long time. I’ve done this alone. I’ve been left alone, if not blocked.”

Fulton added that she holds the Los Angeles Police Department, who she claimed “left me on the ground bleeding,” responsible for the harm she has allegedly endured, too.

Weston Cage Says Mom Christina Fulton ‘Needs Help' Amid Assault Case

“I’m here again as a mother,” she continued. “I love my son. Tough love. We’re dealing with a mental health crisis epidemic. And I’m here again. So I want all those parents and mothers to know that I’m here. And I will be here for you all, and I will be here for my son.”

Fulton claimed that Cage is also “responsible” for their son’s alleged attack because “he’s his father.”

On February 20, Fulton, 57, recently filed court documents claiming Cage, 61, ignored Weston’s alleged mental health concerns and enabled his reportedly troubling behavior, according to the petition obtained by Us Weekly.

Weston was arrested for felony assault in July 2024. He was released on bond and pleaded not guilty. At the time, Fulton appeared to suffer physical injuries from an apparent incident that she claims occurred when she tried to help her son during a “mental health crisis.”

“Weston has a long history of mental and psychological disorder and a history of committing violent assault and battery and harming numerous individuals,” her court filing reads. “Nicolas has been aware of Weston’s history and nevertheless failed to take action to prevent Weston from committing acts of violence and harming others.”

Nicolas Cage's Son Weston Arrested on Felony Warrant

She also claimed that Cage has previously bailed Weston out of jail and paid the rent on his Los Angeles condo.

“Nicolas knew or should have known that Weston posed a serious and imminent danger to others, including Plaintiff, based on his documented history of violent assaults, substance abuse, and mental instability,” she also claimed.

Cage has denied the allegations. “The allegations by Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous,” Cage said in a statement to Us. “Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man. Mr. Cage does not control Weston’s behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston’s alleged assault of his mother.”

Dolly Parton’s husband, Carl Dean, has died at the age of 82.

“Carl and I spent many wonderful years together,” Parton, 79, wrote via an Instagram statement on Monday, March 3. “Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.”

Dean died on Monday in Nashville, Tennessee and will be “laid to rest in a private ceremony,” per the statement. A cause of death has not been revealed.

He is survived by Parton and his two siblings, Sandra and Donnie. The family has asked for respect and privacy during this “difficult time.”

Dolly Parton Explains Why 'Homebody' Husband Refuses to Join Her at Events

Many fans and members of the music industry took to the comments section to pay their respects.

“That’s beautiful you to have such a long time with your husband. I hope he rests easy,” Diplo replied, while Lainey Wilson penned, “I love you .”

Morgan Stapleton, who is the wife of country singer Chris Stapleton, wrote, “We love you .”

The Associated Press was first to report the news. Us Weekly has reached out to Parton for comment.

Parton and Dean tied the knot in May 1966, two years after the couple first met in Nashville. Parton and Dean first connected at the Wishy Washy Laundromat the same day she moved to town to begin her music career.

“I was surprised and delighted that while he talked to me, he looked at my face (a rare thing for me)” Parton once said of Dean, per her website. “He seemed to be genuinely interested in finding out who I was and what I was about.”

While Dean stayed out of the limelight for the majority of his life, Parton would constantly gush about her longtime love.

“We’re the perfect partners,” Parton exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2022. “We both have a great sense of humor. … We’re able to solve any problem and any situation, making a joke about it and not letting it get too heavy, but we respect each other and we like each other. We lucked up, let’s put it that way.”

She continued: “You know, most people can keep a marriage [going strong] if you make a little effort. Some people just get slouching and lazy and about stuff that ain’t important, like leaving the toilet seat up. And if that’s the worst thing you’ve to worry about, you’re already in trouble.”

A Look Back at Dolly Parton and Husband Carl Dean’s Nearly 60-Year Romance

In December 2024, Parton opened up about why Dean opted to live a more quiet life.

“Well, he was a homebody, and that worked well for us. He was in asphalt paving, but his sign is Cancer and I’m Capricorn, and those are compatible signs,” Parton said on an episode of Bunnie Xo’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast. “The Capricorn is the mountain goat because it’s always climbing and the Cancer is more of a homebody. He really was. He wanted to be around home. I loved to go and see what else is out there, but I think that’s worked well for us.”

Parton added that while her husband loved music he was upfront with her about not being involved in the industry.

Litia Garr has not forgotten her roots while dating Grant Ellis on season 29 of The Bachelor.

“My mom and dad met in college in Hawaii. My mom is from Idaho, she’s white, and my dad is from Fiji. They fell in love and they got married and they had me,” Litia said during a February episode. “When I was 3 years old, my dad passed away in a car accident. My mom is my greatest example of strength and resilience because I can’t imagine losing my husband and having a little baby at that time. And she was, like, 23.”

Litia became emotional as she reflected on her loved ones’ support through the years. “My grandparents and my mom’s siblings, like my aunts and uncles, made me feel so loved and so special,” Litia said. “I just feel, like, really lucky to have my support system.”

Ahead of introducing Grant to her family, Litia told the lead that her home is “very, very conservative” and shared that she was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

“It completely shaped the kind of family that I want to raise my kids in,” she told Grant during a one-on-one date. “I want God to be a part of my marriage and I want my kids to grow up in a house where they know that God loves them and they’re important and their parents love them, and there’s nothing they can do that would ever make them not loved. That’s very, very important to me.”

Litia’s Mom

After sharing her past with Grant, Litia and the season 29 lead FaceTimed her mom, Maurie Garr. “She was saying how much she missed you, and I figured we’d give you a call just to say hi,” Grant explained to Litia’s mom, who said she was “so glad” the pair called.

“I’m really grateful that I got to talk to my mom tonight. I’m so glad that she got to meet Grant and that Grant got to see a little bit of what I was talking about in our conversation,” Litia said in a confessional. “It meant a lot to me.

Litia’s Dad

Litia revealed that her father, who is from Fiji and went to college in Hawaii, died in a car accident when she was an infant. “Even though he’s gone, I still feel his love,” Litia said in her intro package. “I still feel his love and his presence in my life.”

Meghan Markle is opening her arms to — and sharing her cooking and crafting secrets with — several famous faces in Netflix’s With Love, Meghan.

“I love feeding people… it’s my love language,” Meghan said in the series, which debuted on the streaming platform on Tuesday, March 4. “The only thing better than eating food is making food for someone and watching them eat it with delight.”

In the first episode, the Duchess of Sussex prepped for an overnight visit from Daniel Martin — her Suits makeup artist turned lifelong friend. (Meghan exited the series at the end of season 7 in 2018, the same year she tied the knot with husband Prince Harry. The pair share son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3.)

While addressing the camera, Meghan gushes that she loves all things hosting — including preparing a guest room, from what’s at the side of the bed to “what’s in the bathroom for them to have a beautiful soak.”

“The joy of hosting for me is surprising people with moments that lets them know I was really thinking of their whole experience from morning to evening,” she said, before sharing the best compliment from a guest: “I had the best sleep.”

Scroll down to see all of the guests featured on Meghan’s Netflix show:

Daniel Martin

Meghan gushes that her and Harry’s kids call her pal “Uncle Daniel,” reflecting that the makeup artist was “in my life for the before, during and after, shall we say” — a reference to Meghan’s time as a working senior royal. After Martin arrived, the pair begin reminiscing on their past — before Martin cut himself with a knife while slicing a tomato. “I can beat your face but I can’t cut a tomato!” Martin quipped.

In the early days of Meghan’s stint on Suits, Martin recalled being told by his agent that she “reached out to them directly that [Markle] didn’t have representation,” and that she spent her time away from set working on The Tig.

Meghan shared that she “used to text” Martin for style advice, asking what color was “on trend” and “what is cool.” Back to the food, Martin gushed that Meghan’s skillet spaghetti is “so f—-ing good,” adding, “You’ve always shown your love through food.”

While Meghan preps a honey lemon cake, she noted that baking is not her “favorite thing,” but she “will do it for one of my favorite people.” While icing the cake, Martin reminisced on Meghan and Harry’s 2018 wedding cake — he was there for the cake testing.

“You’ve always sent me home with incredible things,” he said, while Meghan replied that it’s about “doing things with intention with someone you love, for someone you love”

Mindy Kaling

After meeting on Meghan’s podcast, Kaling and Meghan have become “email pen pals” who have bonded over their children. (Kaling is mom to daughters Katherine, 7, and Anne, 12 months, as well as son Spencer, 4.) “I love having mom friends,” Meghan said. “We need them.”

While eating a frittata and champagne featuring dollops of Meghan’s homemade preserves, Kaling gushed that receiving Meghan’s jam was “probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life” — but she was also fixated on the numbers affixed to each jar.

“As a very hierarchical person, I was like, ’Who are these people? Does having a lower number make me more special?’” Kaling said, to which Meghan replied, “It was not a ranking! … It was just ‘let me share them’ and then people started to take it very personally.”

As the pair began making tea sandwiches for their “mockup kids tea party,” Meghan called herself “a latchkey kid, so I grew up with a lot of fast food and TV tray meals” watching Jeopardy. Meghan noted that her favorite fast food included “Pollo Loco, Taco Bell’s mexican pizza, Jack in the Box tacos,” which Kaling began marveling that “Meghan Markle loves Jack-in-the-Box.”

“It’s so funny you keep saying Markle,” Meghan interjected. “You know it’s Sussex now. You have kids and you go, ‘I share my name with my children.’ I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me, but it just means too much to go, this is our family name. Our little family now.”

The twosome bonded over working on shows for a long time — The Office for Kaling, Suits for Meghan — while they sipped white tea featuring fresh mint from the garden. “I love making friends,” Meghan said.

Roy Choi

Meghan hosted L.A. celebrity chef Choi and the pair began making Korean fried chicken and pickles, including pickled watermelon, pickled strawberries and kimchi. After Choi gushed that he’s a “huge fan” of Meghan, the twosome embraced. The pair, who had never met before, bonded over growing up in the City of Angels.

Delfina Blaquier

Blaquier, the wife of Harry’s pal Nachos Figueras, joined Meghan for a hike and a meal. Meghan gushed that Blaquier is “more beautiful on the inside than she is on the outside,” adding, “And she is a stunner — that’s just how gorgeous her spirit is.”

While eating a post-hike meal, Meghan noted, “Our husbands will be so jealous that we had this meal without them.” Blaquier, for her part, squeezed Meghan’s hand and added, “I enjoyed this morning’s hike, because I saw you being you and I love that. I love when you are doing your thing … I absolutely, I’m obsessed with that face of M. So happy.”

Abigail Spencer

Meghan hosted Spencer and Kelly Zajfen for a ladies’ lunch. Spencer, who met Meghan at an audition in 2007, said her pal was “head of morale” on Suits. Meghan agreed, noting that she “liked to plan fun for everyone,” while the group acknowledged they had “been through a lot.”

Kelly Zajfen

Zajfen joined the lunch with Spencer and Meghan.

Ramon Velazquez

Local chef Velazquez and Meghan made chicken tinga and halibut ceviche.

Tracy Robbins

Robbins, Victoria Jackson and Jennifer Rudolph joined Meghan for a game of Mahjong. Robbins and Meghan pre-assembled cocktails in mason jars, each affixed with a name tag.

Victoria Jackson

Jennifer Rudolph

Rudolph was featured during the Mahjong game with Meghan, Robbins and Jackson.

Vicky Tsai

In episode seven, Meghan hosted “deal friend” Tsai, who she said lives locally and is “one of the most grounded people I’ve ever met” and “the person I turn to when I have questions about most things.”

While making potstickers with Meghan, Tsai gushed, “You are always the hostess with the mostest. I love coming here to eat because you always make it feel like home and like a community.”

The pair began discussing mom guilt and imperfection, to which Tsai noted, “Perfect isn’t beautiful. Things that lived and been dropped and put back together again are more beautiful.” Meghan smiled and became visibly emotional at the remark.

Ending their day with fresh-brewed blooming tea, Tsai said that the pair’s past selves “would be proud.” Meghan, for her part, added, “The question is, 10 years from now, where on earth are we gonna be? I don’t even know but it’s gonna be fantastic!”

“I would have never made it here without you! So grateful,” Tsai said, to which Meghan replied, “Likewise, we’ve been through a lot!

Alice Waters

When the duo crossed paths, Meghan began to fangirl over the award-winning and legendary chef. “I feel like you’re watching me fall in love. It’s very, very awkward,” she said.

After preparing quiches and a salad, Meghan became emotional while thanking Waters for stopping by. “I just respect you and appreciate you so much,” she added. “This has been a complete treat.”

Doria Ragland

Meghan’s mom made an appearance at a brunch party with several of her daughter’s friends.

Prince Harry

Harry hugged the group at the brunch party, embracing Meghan with several kisses. “Well done! You did a great job,” he said. “I love it.”

Who else loved watching the 2025 Oscars? While we definitely enjoyed seeing our favorite actors and actresses get recognized, win Academy Awards and give moving speeches, the looks were perhaps our favorite part of the evening. Everyone was dressed to the nines for the occasion, rocking over-the-top dresses, sparkly jewelry, glam hairstyles and flawless makeup.

The Brutalist star Stacy Martin stepped out in a particularly showstopping look, pairing a black lace Louis Vuitton dress with drop earrings, a tennis necklace and natural makeup. Excellent skin prep was key to her radiant complexion, and one brand in particular was responsible for her red carpet glow.

“For the Oscars, Stacy and I wanted an understated but chic look that didn’t have a strong lip or any eye, which meant the skin really had to be the star focus,” said Yasuko Shapiro, Martin’s makeup artist. To do this, Shapiro relied on Rationale’s three-step routine, which included The Serum, The Light Crème and The Tinted Serum Broad Spectrum SPF.

The Serum is a nourishing anti-aging formula that supports the skin barrier, locks in hydration and smoothes fine lines. It contains a B-group vitamin complex that works to strengthen the skin, while a unique mix of skin-soothing actives helps to soften it. The combination is ideal for achieving dewy, lifted skin that’s ready for makeup, and 82% of users noticed a boost in radiance.

The second step in Martin’s routine was The Light Crème, an energizing yet calming product that firms, evens tone, deeply moisturizes and rejuvenates the skin. Antioxidants are the key players here, targeting dullness and dehydration with potent vitamin C. A glowy complexion is nearly guaranteed with this superstar pick!

To finish off Martin’s pre-Oscars skincare routine, Shapiro used The Tinted Serum Broad Spectrum SPF. The 24% zinc oxide serum protects, conceals redness, and illuminates the skin, while also forming a physical shield to defend against environmental stressors. If you’re serious about anti-aging skincare, you’ll want to add this sunscreen to your cart, STAT.

To carry out Martin’s full routine at home, simply cleanse the skin as usual, then smooth a few drops of The Serum over the face and neck. Next, use a pearl-sized amount of The Light Crème on the same area before applying a generous amount of sunscreen to your face, neck and décolleté. While designed to be used under makeup, you can reapply it throughout the day, too — even over your glam!

Grab the entire set to achieve an Oscars-ready glow every day, or snag individual members of the power trio and work the products into your daily routine. Either way, you’ll be ready for your close-up!

Harvey Weinstein has reacted to Adrien Brody mentioning his children with ex-wife Georgina Chapman in the actor’s 2025 Oscars acceptance speech.

“Harvey is happy for Georgina and grateful that his kids are being loved and cared for as they deserve to be,” Weinstein’s rep Juda Engelmayer said in a statement to Us Weekly on Monday, March 3.

Weinstein, 72, and Chapman, 48, tied the knot in 2007 and share two children: daughter India, 14, and son Dashiell, 11. After Weinstein was accused of sexual assault in 2017, Chapman filed for divorce. While the exes reached a settlement the following year, their divorce was not finalized until 2021. In February 2020, Weinstein was found guilty of rape and sexual assault charges and sentenced to 23 years in prison. He has been behind bars at Rikers Island.

In 2019, Chapman began dating Brody, 51 — and the couple have been going strong ever since. The Brutalist actor brought the fashion designer as his date for the 2025 Oscars, where he was up for Best Actor. Brody won the award, ultimately beating out A Complete Unknown’s Timothée Chalamet, Sing Sing’s Colman Domingo, Conclave’s Ralph Fiennes and The Apprentice’s Sebastian Stan.

What Did Adrien Brody Throw at Georgina Chapman Before Oscars Speech?

Before Brody took the stage, he and Chapman shared a sweet kiss in the audience. The actor also quickly turned back to Chapman to toss her his gum, and the Marchesa cofounder ran closer to the stage to catch it. When it was time for his acceptance speech, Brody thanked everyone for being by his side, including Chapman and her little ones.

“If I may just humbly begin to give thanks to the tremendous love I have felt from this world and every individual who treated me with respect and appreciation,” he said. “I feel so fortunate. Acting is a very fragile profession. It looks very glorious — and in certain moments it is.”

Brody then elaborated on his appreciation for Chapman and her children and revealed their special moniker for him.

“I share this with my amazing partner, Georgina, who has not only reinvigorated my own self-worth, but my sense of value and my values,” Brody gushed. “And her beautiful children, Dash and India, I know it’s been a roller coaster but thank you for accepting me into your life. And Popsy’s coming home a winner.”

Chapman has been by Brody’s side throughout awards season. Last month, a source exclusively told Us that Brody and Chapman are “very happy and secure in their relationship.”

“She loves supporting him at awards shows,” the insider said. “She’s so proud of his talent; his humor and talent were what drew her to him.”

Valerie Bertinelli has broken her silence on the end of her 10-month relationship with former boyfriend Mike Goodnough.

“I am irreversibly changed by him for the better,” Bertinelli said of her ex in a post shared via Instagram on Monday, March 3. “I know I am becoming a much stronger and more benevolent human for having met him and spent time with him.”

It was first reported that the pair split back in November 2024. This is the first time Bertinelli has publicly acknowledged the breakup.

“Before I had the pleasure of meeting Mike, I was initially and immediately attracted to his writing. It’s heartfelt, authentic, smart, funny, sensitive, caring, and from the soul. And the way he puts words together is just sooo ridiculously beautiful. I’m a big fan, can you tell?” she continued.

“And as luck would have it, the human being in person is exactly as heartfelt, authentic, sensitive and caring as his writing,” Bertinelli added. “And wickedly witty.”

The actress wrote that she feels “so lucky to have gotten to know him” and to “soak up his insights.”

Bertinelli first shared she was dating someone new in March 2024 and went Instagram official with Goodnough the following month. She used lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “So High School” in the caption for the post, which included a photo of the pair wearing black-rimmed glasses.

Their relationship followed her 2022 divorce from Tom Vitale and the death of her first husband, Eddie Van Halen, who died in 2020 after a battle with throat cancer. The pair share a son Wolfgang, 33.

Bertinelli admitted to People in April 2024 that she’s “in love,” joking that she was “supposed to die with my six cats and my dog and very happily live the rest of my years alone — I’m good alone.”

“ I’ll drink what you think and I’m high from smokin’ your jokes all damn night @therealhoarse,” Bertinelli wrote alongside the cute snap.

Valerie Bertinelli and Mike Goodnough’s Relationship Timeline

On Monday, Bertinelli said that despite the split she will “value all of our long conversations” that have “lead me to interesting and fascinating places I rarely thought to go.”

“I look at life with a different perspective and caring because of my experiences and conversations with him,” she continued of her ex. “And he’s been a big part of helping me heal from some old childhood wounds I never knew what to do with or even where to start.”

Bertinelli also encouraged her followers to subscribe to Goodnough’s Substack.

Musician Bob Bryar’s cause of death has been ruled as “undetermined” three months after his death.

According to the autopsy obtained by TMZ, Bryar’s body was allegedly found next to three large canisters of nitrous oxide. The outlet reported that the My Chemical Romance drummer, 44, also had antidepressants in his home at the time of his death in November 2024.

The Bedford County medical examiner in Tennessee ruled Bryar’s manner of death “best classified as undetermined” after suspecting “intentional or accidental overdose,” per the reported autopsy.

The medical examiner reportedly noted in the document that Bryar’s body was badly decomposed making it hard to determine the exact cause of death.

My Chemical Romance Mourn Bob Bryar With ‘Heavy Heart’

News broke in November 2024 that Bryar was found dead inside his home in Tennessee. He was reportedly last seen on November 4, 2024, and wasn’t discovered until November 26. TMZ reported at the time that medical professionals were investigating Bryar’s cause of death but didn’t expect foul play.

My Chemical Romance mourned the loss of Bryar in a statement issued a few days later, writing via Instagram, “It is with heavy heart that we say goodbye to Bob Bryar, our former bandmate and an important part of the history of My Chemical Romance.”

The band noted in the December 2024 statement, “We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family at this time. May he rest in peace.”

My Chemical Romance’s Drummer Bob Bryar Found Dead at 44: Report

Bryar joined My Chemical Romance in 2004, replacing the original drummer, Matt Pelissier. The group was formed in 2001, releasing its debut album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love in 2002. Their second album, 2004’s Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, came out before Bryar was part of the band.

Bryar worked alongside Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Mikey Way and Frank Iero through 2010 during which time they released their biggest album 2006’s The Black Parade.

“As of 4 weeks ago, My Chemical Romance and Bob Bryar parted ways,” rhythm guitarist Iero, 43, said in a statement posted via the band’s website in March 2010. “This was a painful decision for all of us to make and was not taken lightly. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors and expect you all to do the same.”

Liam Payne’s Death Will Not Be Ruled a Suicide, Prosecutor Reveals

The group dropped its fourth album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, in 2010 shortly after Bryar’s departure. However, the late drummer received credits for some of the songwriting on the record.

“I left a very good touring gig where I was tour managing and doing sound. I left that job to join a band that was filthy, had s—y gear, a smashed-up, smoking, death-trap van and was poor. They smelled bad too. I was so happy to receive the offer,” Bryar told Alternative Press in 2016, reflecting on his choice to join My Chemical Romance. “Long before we recorded Welcome to the Black Parade, I knew that [MCR] were special and I wanted in. I wanted to help evolve the band and be able to shred with them every night.”

Bryar went on to work on other musical projects after parting ways with My Chemical Romance before reportedly pivoting into real estate.

Making the Band was once one of MTV’s most popular reality shows, but several former contestants have since leveled allegations against producer Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The reality series premiered on ABC in 2000 before moving to MTV and promised to put a band together at the end of each season. The show focused on the formation of a specific band or act, including O-Town and Danity Kane. Starting with Making the Band 2, Diddy served as an executive producer on the series.

Since the show ended in 2009, Danity Kane members including Aubrey O’Day and Dawn Richards have spoken out about the alleged treatment they faced while working for Diddy. The music mogul was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

In February 2025, Sara Rivers, who appeared on Making the Band 2 as a member of Da Band, filed a lawsuit against Diddy accusing him of sexual harassment. Diddy’s attorneys called the claims “false” in a statement, adding, “Mr. Combs remains confident he will prevail in court.”

Diddy’s Legal Troubles Detailed in Multiple Docs: Biggest Revelations

Keep scrolling for a breakdown of all the allegations against Diddy from former Making the Band stars:

Aubrey O’Day

In September 2024, O’Day (a member of Danity Kane from 2006-2007) claimed that Diddy attempted to dictate her appearance while she was in the band. “With Diddy, I saw multiple sides of him but I don’t know who I was ever talking to that was sober. There was always an element of something going on,” she told Renee Graziano during an interview on the “Crysis Queen” podcast.

“He’s on camera telling me how much he hates it, but he’s off camera telling me all the ways I needed to be groomed properly, down to my toenails,” she continued. “I was sent out of a studio session one time because my toes weren’t polished properly.”

In a different podcast interview that same month, O’Day reflected on being fired from Danity Kane in 2008. “I was so young and so many things were put on me,” she said during an appearance on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s “Off the Vine” podcast. “I was fired on national television for being overly raunchy and promiscuous. That’s actually like wrongful termination. That’s a lawsuit against a lot of people.”

Sara Rivers

In a lawsuit filed in February 2025 and reviewed by Us Weekly, Rivers, who was on the show from 2002 to 2004, claimed that Diddy and Making the Band’s staff subjected her and others to “inhumane” treatment, including controlling when and how she slept and making fun of her for suffering from bulimia.

Rivers also claimed Diddy sexually assaulted her while she was walking down a hallway, alleging he was standing so close that “he could kiss her and ask her in a low, sensual voice how she is doing, if she’s ok and if she needed anything at all.”

She further claimed that Diddy then “used his left hand to adjust [the] collar of her jacket and then ran his left hand across her breasts while repeating the phrase if she needs anything to let him know.”

Diddy denied Rivers’ claims in a statement to Us, saying, telling the outlet: “This is yet another example of false claims being filed against Mr. Combs. No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. With the deadline for New York’s Gender-Motivated Violence Act expiring tomorrow, it’s clear that opportunists are rushing to file last-minute, meritless claims. Mr. Combs remains confident he will prevail in court.”

In January 2025, Diddy filed a lawsuit against Rivers’ lawyer Ariel Mitchell, accusing her of defamation in a NewsNation appearance. He accused Mitchell and other defendants of “fueling a media frenzy, fabricating outlandish claims and stirring up baseless speculation” about sex tapes that allegedly involved him and other unnamed celebrities.

Rivers spoke out about her former boss for the first time in the January 2025 Peacock documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. “When he got angry with one of my band members, he said, ‘You make me so mad I wanna eat your flesh,’” she alleged in the film. “And then he said to another one of my band members, ‘You’re rolling your eyes. I could go get a crackhead and pay them $20 to smack the s— out of you.’ Who says that? That’s crazy.”

In response to the documentary, Diddy’s representatives told Us in a statement: “This documentary recycles and perpetuates the same lies and conspiracy theories that have been slung against Mr. Combs for months. It is disappointing to see NBC and Peacock rolling in the same mud as unethical tabloid reporters. By providing a platform for proven liars and opportunists to make false criminal accusations, the documentary is irresponsible journalism of the worst kind.”

D. Woods

In January 2025, Woods, a member of Danity Kane from 2005 to 2008, alleged to ABC News’ Eva Pilgrim that Combs fostered an environment that was emotionally and verbally abusive.

“He did it in different ways with all of us, you know, picking and prodding and just a way to chip and knock away, but then praise you,” she explained on Good Morning America. “Somebody constantly treating you like a piece of meat.”

Woods also participated in the Investigation Discovery docuseries The Fall of Diddy, which premiered in January 2025. In one episode, she claimed that O’Day opened up to her about behavior by Diddy that made her uncomfortable.

“I remember her sharing with me that he had sent her a lot of very inappropriate pictures,” Woods alleged. “I saw a lot of things that he would email her, very sexual in nature … pornographic-like things that he wanted to do to her. She was just kind of like, ‘What do I do?’ I remember telling her, ‘Girl, put that in a folder, send it to your mama, save that.’”

Aubrey O'Day Said She Didn't 'Want to Die With Secrets' Before Diddy Arrest

Dawn Richard

Richard, also a member of Danity Kane, filed her own lawsuit against Diddy in September 2024. In court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Richard claimed she saw Diddy physically abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie. She further alleged that he forced Richard to rehearse for up to 48 hours at a time, which resulted in dehydration and fatigue.

Richard also claimed Diddy once burst into her dressing room and touched her inappropriately, and, in a separate incident, locked her in a car for two hours.

In response to allegedly witnessing Diddy choke Cassie, Richard and her Diddy – Dirty Money bandmate Kaleena Harper tried to convince her to leave the relationship. After Diddy found out, he allegedly told them, “Y’all bitches don’t get in my relationship. Don’t tell my bitch [Cassie] what she need to be doing. Just make money and shut the f— up. I end artists, I shelve careers. You could be missing. You bitches want to die today.”

Diddy denied Richard’s allegations in a statement via his attorney Erica Wolff, who told Us, “Mr. Combs is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit. In an attempt to rewrite history, Dawn Richard has now manufactured a series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a payday — conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour.”

John Doe

In October 2024, attorney Tony Buzbee filed a lawsuit against Diddy alleging the rapper assaulted a 17-year-old who auditioned for Making the Band in 2008. The victim said he went through three auditions for the show and claimed that each Diddy told him to perform sex acts on himself and on his bodyguard, referred to as “T.” The acts were allegedly meant to test how badly the boy wanted to become a singer. The victim was also eventually eliminated from the competition.

In response to the lawsuit, a rep for Diddy told Us, “The lawyer behind this lawsuit is interested in media attention rather than the truth, as is obvious from his constant press appearances and 1-800 number. As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false.”

When the 2025 Oscars red carpet was rolled out on Sunday, March 2, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, we saw key fashion trends define some of the best-dressed looks of the night.

Heavy metal embellishments stood out in what felt like a season of gold and silver gowns. Elsewhere, ensembles with intricate embroidery — many with hundreds of thousands of elements — made a time-tested wardrobe staple, like the little black dress, seem far from commonplace.

The same finer details took mille-feuille tulle dresses to a dazzling new place, while other sheer looks layered on visual interest with multiple shades of the same color, creating an ombre effect.

Another standout shade was bridal white, which offered plenty of inspiration for Spring 2025 brides. Several referenced iconic 1990s runway couture looks that are well worth revisiting.

2025 Oscars Red Carpet Fashion: From Ariana Grande to Halle Berry

But perhaps the most forward-thinking trend of all was a backward necklace, as many stars had fun with the look by twirling around for photographers to capture the surprise flash of diamonds.

Take a deep dive into the five best trends of the night, as seen on the 2025 Academy Awards red carpet.

Precious Metals

More was more when it came to heavy metal embellishments. Halle Berry shone bright like a diamond in a custom Christian Siriano gown with disco-ready mirrored glass shards. She reworked a Pomellato necklace as a statement bracelet with over 1,900 white diamonds, then added two Pomellato rings with over 500 diamonds between them.

According to her stylist Brad Goreski, Demi Moore had a “full wattage” fashion moment in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé gown completely covered with near-blinding crystals. Indeed, it gave stylish new meaning to Elizabeth Sparkle, her character’s name in The Substance.

The 60 Best Oscars Red Carpet Looks of All Time

Meanwhile, Mindy Kaling put a high-fashion spin on foliage in an Oscar de la Renta fern-embroidered gown with 3D silver leaf details, which she accessorized with Effy jewelry: a white gold and diamond necklace and earring suite.

Dark Glamour

The best LBDs on Oscars night were all about dramatic details. For actress Lily Rose-Depp’s Academy Awards debut, nearly 191,000 elements were used in the making of her custom Chanel floral lace halter dress embroidered with sequins, crystal, and pearls.

Miley Cyrus wore a custom Alexander McQueen high-neck, drop-waist gown with shredded tulle, sequins and glass beads, the latter of which also adorned her Alexander McQueen black lace gloves

As for Marchesa’s Georgina Chapman, she arrived in a dress of her own design: a strapless black velvet gown with a sculptural neckline and trumpet skirt that shimmered, thanks to the rose motif.

Neo-Bridal Notes

Oscars night was filled with wedding inspiration. Lupita Nyong’o and her stylist, Micaela Erlanger, worked with the house of Chanel to reimagine a 1991 Chanel Couture that Linda Evangelista wore on the runway. It was decorated with the same pearl straps and tassels but came with a spangly tweed corset for a contemporary new twist.

Penelopé Cruz’s gown was also another reinterpreted look from the same Chanel collection. She donned a dress with a ruched bodice with sparkly jewel buttons and a sheer, sweeping cape attached at the strap. It took 254 hours to make, according to the luxury label, and to top it off, she paired it with a whopping 27 carats of Chanel diamonds.

Elle Fanning attended her first Oscars in a white lace gown with a sweetheart neckline by Sarah Burton for Givenchy — the designer who created Kate Middleton‘s wedding dress. Tied with a black grosgrain bow and a combination of a cape and train attached at the back, she set a new trend for fashion brides-to-be everywhere.

Sheer Impact

Diaphanous tulle and chiffon gowns commanded attention on the red carpet. Julianne Hough channeled Grace Kelly’s famous blue dress chiffon designed by Edith Head in the 1995 film, To Catch a Thief. The Dancing With the Stars co-host was a scene-stealer in a flowing Christian Dior dress plucked right off the Spring 2025 runway. Rendered in shades of mocha mousse (a.k.a. the Pantone 2025 color of the year), it’s proof the trend is here to stay.

Wicked actress Ariana Grande wore a Schiaparelli Couture gown that was on the Paris Fashion Week runway a mere month ago. The Basque waist dress was reimagined in Glinda-fied pink duchess satin and a nude tulle skirt with over 190,000 crystal sequins, rhinestones, and beads.

The Hottest Naked Dresses on Oscars Night 2025: Kylie Jenner, More

Meanwhile, Rachel Zegler, the titular star of the Broadway musical Romeo & Juliet wore a Shakespearean-inspired corset dress with a sweetheart bodice and pleated tulle skirt with pearls — a gem Willaim Shakespeare wrote about often, as they were hugely popular in Elizabethan England.

Backwards Bling

Several stars made a shimmering statement coming and going in backward necklaces. Michelle Yeoh amplified the electric energy of her cobalt Balenciaga couture dress in a high-wattage Boucheron creation with round baguette and princess-cut diamonds.

The Substance actress Margaret Qualley went in a similar direction, as she paired a black velvet Chanel gown with what looked like a classic choker from the front, only to reveal a dazzling diamond tasseled centerpiece grazing her exposed back.

Even Coralie Fargeat, the creative force behind the film, embraced the look, in an Atelier Versace gown with a beaded necklace that trailed down the bodice and also below the nape of her neck.

The Real Housewives of New York City star Erin Lichy is weighing in on the future of the show — and sharing her predictions for new cast members.

Erin, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly that she “wasn’t surprised” when Bravo put out a casting call for RHONY in January before season 15 even finished airing. “I think we could use some new blood, I’m kind of excited to see. I mean, I have some friends that I hope maybe will join, and I don’t know,” she told Us.

Erin also weighed in on whether her friend Lindsay Hubbard should join RHONY for season 16 after the Summer House star discussed the possibility on an episode of the “Housewives Nightcap” podcast in February.

“I didn’t know that she wanted to join,” Erin told Us. “I’m actually having lunch with her and our daughters in a little while so I’m gonna talk to her about that.” She added that she thinks Lindsay, 38, would “be great, to be honest” as a cast member on RHONY.

Erin Lichy Reacts to Brynn Whitfield's 'Sister' Comment After 'RHONY' Finale

“I never really thought about it before I saw that online,” she continued. “I need to talk to her about it. I need to hear what she really thinks. But, I mean, why not?”

Other Real Housewives stars, however, have their own ideas about who should be in the new cast. Andy Cohen revealed in February that RHONY alum Kelly Bensimon had sent him a list of casting suggestions for the Bravo hit.

“I have no words for that whole thing,” Erin told Us of Kelly’s supposed list. (Kelly starred on RHONY from 2009 to 2011 and later made appearances in 2014 and 2015.)

“I mean, she’s funny,” Erin said of Kelly. “They should have their own thing, if that’s what she was referring to. I don’t even know what that meant. It could be really fun. I’m not a producer and I don’t know what the right thing is, or how things would work. On one hand, I feel like it wouldn’t make sense, but on the other hand, I’ve hung out with Luann [de Lesseps] and Dorinda [Medley] and I’ve had a f—ing blast. So, I could see it. I don’t know.”

RHONY’s Sai Recalls Thinking There Are ‘Some Red Flags’ With Brynn Whitfield

As far as RHONY cast members go, Erin admitted to Us that she had spoken to Brynn Whitfield after season 15’s explosive finale in January before the reunion episodes aired the following month.

“I am not blocked anymore,” Erin said of where she stands with Brynn. “She’s been reaching out and saying nice things. So, I appreciate it, but it’s gonna take time.”

Erin further stated she found the situation “funny” because Brynn “reaches out and says nice things, and then I actually wished her happy birthday and I just got no answer. So it’s like, are we talking to each other or not? I give up.”

Despite their ups and downs, Erin says she “could see” filming with Brynn again in the future, but she’s “a little more flexible than other people on the show.”

“I don’t know how everyone would deal with that,” she said of Brynn’s possible RHONY return. “I think we would all be on edge and I think we would all feel nervous as to what we would say and how that would be misconstrued. I think it would be challenging, but I could see a world in which it happens.”

RHONY's Brynn Teases 'Friendships and Relationships Change' This Season

Brynn’s relationship with her RHONY cast members was fractured during the season 15 finale when their Puerto Rican vacation ended with a massive fight between Brynn and costar Ubah Hassan. Ubah, 41, accused Brynn of sleeping with someone to get on the show.

Brynn said she had revealed privately to Ubah that she had been sexually assaulted, but an upset Ubah immediately denied knowing about the experience. The ensuing fight led to the rest of the cast needing to separate the pair for the remainder of their trip.

If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

Cynthia Erivo has found true love with Lena Waithe.

Erivo and Waithe met at the 2018 Met Gala while Waithe was still together with Alana Mayo. (Waithe and Mayo dated for three years before tying the knot in 2019.)

“I was so excited to meet her at the Met, and we did that whole thing, like, ‘Oh my gosh’ and exchanged information,” Waithe recalled to Variety in a 2020 interview. “We have just been vibing ever since.”

The pair became good friends and were seen together at multiple red carpet events before Waithe announced in January 2020 that she was divorcing Mayo.

“After careful thought and consideration, we have decided to part ways,” Mayo and Waithe shared in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “We have nothing but support for one another and ask that you respect our privacy during this time.”

Following their divorce, Erivo and Waithe started to spark dating rumors after being seen getting cozy at award shows. After much speculation, Erivo seemingly confirmed their relationship on Instagram in May 2022 by posting a birthday tribute to Waithe.

“Today is when we celebrate a woman whose heart is bigger than the body that houses it. Happy birthday @lenawaithe I …… You know the rest! ,” Erivo wrote.

Keke Palmer just channeled Christina Aguilera without missing a beat.

Palmer, 31, stepped out in a familiar vintage Versace dress at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, which was held at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills on Sunday, March 2.

The design featured a completely sheer top with a built-in white bralette that was covered in shimmery fishnets. The rest of the look was complete with a drop-waist flowy skirt that hugged her hips and exposed her leg with a thigh-high slit.

Palmer, who was styled by Molly Dickinson, paired the ab-baring number with strappy white heels and dangling diamond earrings by Messika.

Jamie Lee Curtis Is ‘Thrilled’ Keke Palmer Wore Her Dress at 2025 SAG Awards

In true Keke Palmer style, she donned a flawless beat, thanks to celebrity makeup artist Kenya Alexis. Her glam featured dewy foundation, manicured eyebrows, bronzed and blushed cheeks and nude glossy lips. Her eye makeup was just as flirty with pearlescent shimmer patted on her lid, smudged winged eyeliner and long lashes.

When Aguilera, now 44, wore the dress back in 2003 at the MTV Europe Video Music Awards, she also styled it with dainty earrings bur added a diamond bracelet for glittering good measure. The “Genie in a Bottle” singer added a pop of color to her look with a cherry-red lip.

Similar to Palmer, she also donned silver metallic eyeshadow and wispy lashes. Her hair, which was dyed jet black at the time, was parted to the side and styled in tight noughties-era crimps.

Emmy Sharrett and Will Kulp have been making headlines — and defending their relationship — since becoming reality stars.

The couple began dating one year before they made their reality TV debut in November 2022 on Southern Hospitality. At the time, Sharrett was a server at Leva Bonaparte’s Republic Garden & Lounge while Kulp worked as a bartender.

During season 2 of the Bravo series, Kulp was accused of cheating on Sharrett, which he denied. However, the accusations resurfaced during season 3, which premiered in January 2025. Still, Sharrett didn’t waver on her allegiance to Kulp.

“Will has 110 percent been faithful to me,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2025. “I do not believe Will cheated on me at all for one second.”

“It’s bulls—,” Kulp claimed during a January 2024 episode after being confronted by castmate Mia Alario about the infidelity rumors. “First of all, everyone was f—up in that apartment. I was consoling this girl. We were both crying. I’m sure that if you looked at it from a certain angle, you might be like, ‘They kissed.’ But I didn’t kiss this girl.”

He confessed, “It really feels like I’m getting attacked by all these people,” while Sharrett took Kulp’s side and chose to believe her boyfriend.

Sharrett noted that despite their issues on camera, off camera she was focused on Kulp’s “three-year plan” which he put into place after starting law school. She revealed that “realistically this would be the year that he would propose” and that they could get married in 2026 after he graduated.

Recently, I’ve been trying to level up my business attire. I don’t want to wear your basic, crisp pantsuit — I work in a creative field, so I have a little leeway with my outfits and can still add pops of personality while looking professional. I’ve searched high and low for the perfect work-appropriate celebrity style muse and managed to find one in the most unexpected person: Jennifer Lopez. 

J.Lo might be a surprising pick, but there’s no denying she’s a savvy businesswoman. (She does own a skincare line, fragrances, a fashion line and a production company, after all.) The multi-hyphenate recently stepped out for a business trip wearing the most fabulous chocolate brown suit, which seemed to say “I’m the boss. . . but a cool one.” That’s the exact energy I want to exude, so I quickly made it my mission to find a similar blazer. The one prerequisite? My version needed to be affordable. Thankfully, Amazon came to my rescue with the Forever 21 Notched Double-Breasted Blazer.

These 17 Rich-Looking Wardrobe Pieces on Amazon Scream Zara — All Under $49

With the oversized fit and rich hue, this under-$50 pick looks nearly identical to J.Lo’s blazer. Structured jackets are a simple way to look put together, and this design has boosted professional appeal with its elegantly cut notched lapels, expertly placed pockets and shiny buttons. I appreciate that it can be worn open or closed as well.

While there aren’t matching pants to go with the blazer, it’s not necessary to wear a full suit to give off boss energy. In fact, simply pairing the blazer with a tailored pair of jeans can really make a statement at the office. But beyond professional spaces, this is one of those items you’ll be able to wear in everyday life. On warmer days. like in the spring when there’s still a slight chill in the air, you can throw this blazer over a dress for a polished date night look. Models have also been wearing blazers over their leggings and the result is super posh.

Few people have yet to discover this blazer, but those who have are raving about it. “[This is a] very well-made oversized blazer,” one reviewer wrote. “Exactly as pictured, exactly as posted. Fits true to size. The cut is oversized and looks great with jeans, cut-offs and leggings. Perfect gift or nice to wear to work.”

No doubt you’ll be the most stylish person at the office in this Forever 21 Notched Double Breasted Blazer. If you, like me, are looking to feel more confident at work this year, this is the thing to wear!

Olivia Munn donned flawless makeup at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Munn, 44, looked effortlessly graceful at the event — which took place at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills on Sunday, March 2 — thanks to makeup artist Archangela Chelsea. Her glam featured bronzy foundation, filled-in eyebrows, subtle winged eyeliner with a touch of highlighter in her inner corner, long lashes, rosy cheeks and lined pink lips.

Chelsea broke down her look to Us Weekly, sharing they together decided to “focus more on the skin and keep it a bit less than usual” but still wanted to give “a perfect sculpted face with a good rosy blush and perfect warm toned eyes.” Chelsea created Munn’s natural complexion by first prepping the actress’ skin with the 111Skin Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask and the Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream to ensure she was “glowing” throughout the evening.

“I then applied the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation to keep the skin healthy and glowing,” she told Us. “Just two to three pumps are enough for her entire face. I use the lighter shade to highlight her face and the darker shade to contour the perimeter of the skin to get that natural sculpted face.”

Chelsea also gushed about her and Munn’s love for a “good blush moment,” which she achieved with the Dior Beauty Rosy Glow blushes. “We feel like it brings back the freshness to the skin,” she explained to Us.

The pair also decided to keep her eye makeup looking “simple and fresh” with “short lashes to enhance her natural eyes and just a smudged wing liner.”

The rest of Munn’s fabulous look included a blowout and a Saint Laurent haute couture velvet dress with silky green details on her skirt.

Another standout beauty moment of the evening was executed by Lindsay Lohan, who looked elegant with bronzed cheeks, flirty lashes, glittery silver eyeshadow and nude lips. With the help of hairstylist Tracey Cunningham, her honeycomb hair was parted down the middle and styled in beachy waves. To create her fresh color, Cunningham used Schwarzkopf Professional products, including BLONDEME 9+.

Baltimore Ravens lineman Ben Cleveland has filed for divorce from his wife, Kaitlyn Cleveland, just weeks after he was arrested for DUI. 

Ben, 26, submitted the divorce documents in Baldwin County, Georgia on Friday, February 28, according to TMZ. In the filing, Ben cites the reason for the divorce as “adultery.” The official separation date was listed on or around December 29, 2024. 

Ben and Kaitlyn got married in July 2022. 

The filing came 16 days after Ben was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence on February 12. He was pulled over in Milledgeville, Georgia after being observed weaving between lanes and swerving on the road, per an arrest report shared by the NFL.

According to the report, Ben registered a .178 blood alcohol content — more than double the legal limit.

He was charged with DUI and failure to maintain lane before being released on bond. 

Us Weekly has reached out to the Baltimore Ravens for comment. 

The football star — who was drafted by the Ravens in 2021 after playing collegiately at the University of Georgia — proposed to Kaitlyn in Las Vegas in February 2020.

“If I’m being honest, your first and my last name will just sound better together and probably always will,” Ben shared via Instagram alongside a photo carousel in front of the Bellagio Hotel & Casino fountains. “Nobody I’d rather spend my forever with and now we get to try that out.”

In June 2020, Ben gave an update about the couple’s engagement.

“Two years and then some until you’re actually my wife,” he shared via Instagram with photos from a beach day. “Not sure, we haven’t really started wedding planning yet and we’ve been engaged 6 months so that’s on her. But she’s gonna be my wife so that’s kinda cool.”

Ben and Kaitlyn last appeared on social media together on December 26, 2024, three days before their listed separation date. Kaitlyn shared a carousel of photos via Instagram from the Ravens’ Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans, including a couple of pictures of Ben and Kaitlyn on the sidelines together. 

Since then, Ben has been noticeably absent from Kaitlyn’s Instagram posts. On February 7, she posted a series of photos from the Virgin Islands captioned, “A a one way flight has never sounded better .”

Kaitlyn also attended a Mardi Gras celebration in Mobile, Alabama seemingly without Ben last month. She posted a series of photos from the event via Instagram on February 20, just 8 days after her estranged husband’s DUI arrest.
