Jason Momoa and Adria Arjona appear to be completely loved up at Cannes!

The pair stepped out on the red carpet for the premiere of Highest 2 Lowest on Monday, May 19. Momoa, 45, wore a white suit and waved at photographers. Arjona, 33, wore a matching green gown and leaned into his chest as the pair smiled and posed or photos.

In June 2024, a source close to the actor told Us Weekly exclusively that Momoa was happy to finally hard launch the pair’s relationship on Instagram. “He couldn’t wait any longer to tell the world. Jason is in love with Adria, and he definitely sees a future with her,” the friend said. “Jason hasn’t felt this way about somebody in a long time.”

“Japan, you are a dream come true you blew my mind,” Momoa captioned a May 20 photo slideshow, which featured several snaps of Arjona. “We’re so thankful for everyone who opened their homes, making memories with new friends and old friends, sharing another amazing adventure with mi amor. ON THE ROAM motorcycles and mayhem. All my aloha j.”

On May 17, Momoa told Entertainment Weekly Arjona was into motorcycles, too. “My lady likes to ride,” he said, before he explained how she often wrapped her arms and legs around him during their adventures. “Any excuse for more hugs. I just ride all the time. I travel everywhere and bring my bikes wherever I go when I’m shooting. It just fits with my DNA.”

Momoa added, “Instantly when I get on, everything just kind of goes away. I’m really focused. I don’t think about anything else ’cause you gotta be on it. I love ’em and I really love the old ones. It feels like a time capsule, so I really love the old bikes.”

The duo made their red carpet debut in February 2025 at the SNL50: The Homecoming Concert event at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.

Momoa previously dated actress Eiza González in 2022, less than one year after his split from ex-wife Lisa Bonet. He and Bonet confirmed their decision to separate after four years of marriage in January 2022. Bonet, 57, filed for divorce two years later and they reached a settlement in July 2024.

“We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times … A revolution is unfolding ~and our family is of no exception … feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring,” Momoa and Bonet wrote in a joint Instagram statement.

“And so~ We share our Family news~ That we are parting ways in marriage. We share this not because we think it’s newsworthy ~ But so that~ as we go about our lives we may do so with dignity and honesty.”

Brian Austin Green is addresses his reason for speaking out about his “toxic” relationship with ex Vanessa Marcil.

“Everything that’s come [out] recently has genuinely been for the purpose of speaking about a relationship,” Green, 51, told People at the 32nd Annual Race to Erase MS Gala on Friday, May 16, adding that he doesn’t regret calling the former couple’s relationship “toxic.”

“It’s not pointing fingers, placing blame on anyone,” he continued. “If she takes things that way, then there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s pretty obvious just in listening to the things that I say and what it is we do on our show, that’s not our intention.”

Instead, Green explained, his intention is “to help people” — especially people who “go through toxic” and “tough situations.”

“The best you can do is be open and honest about it and hopefully steer other people clear of those situations or help them get through them,” the 90210 star added.

Green’s comments came after he spoke about his mother’s tendency to smother him on the “Oldish” podcast alongside his partner, Sharna Burgess, and Randy Spelling.

“If I’m looking for a woman, I want the complete opposite of that,” he said on the May 5 show. “I had some major missteps because of that. I mean, the relationship that I had with Vanessa was very toxic in that way. Like, it wasn’t a loving, caring relationship.”

He also said he thought his ex was “trying to help me and fix me and get me through things” but that “after two years or so, you’re kinda looking at yourself in the mirror and you’re like, ‘Who am I at this point?”

“So that relationship ended up not working out,” he continued. “Then Megan [Fox], she was a breath of fresh air, coming out of what felt like Vietnam to me.”

Green and Marcil met on the set of Beverly Hills: 90210 in the late 1990s and got engaged in 2001. Their son, Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green, was born on March 30, 2002. The pair broke up soon after, in 2003. The actor moved on with Fox, 39, and the pair got married in 2010 before welcoming three children, Noah, Bodhi, and Journey. They called it quits in 2021, with Fox moving on with rapper Machine Gun Kelly while Green is now engaged to Burgess. The pair welcomed their child, Zane, in 2022.

In response to Green’s initial comments, Marcil shared alleged text message exchanges between the pair, primarily focused on coparenting Kassius. In one alleged exchange, one coparent’s schedule was shared before a follow up text asking, “Father’s Day?” (The screenshots shared via Instagram Stories have since been deleted or expired.)

Colin Cowherd is wading into the discourse concerning Bill Belichick and his age-gap romance with Jordon Hudson, claiming the former NFL head coach’s family is concerned about more than just his well-being.

In a video the Fox Sports radio host shared on X on Sunday, May 18, Cowhead alleged that Belichick’s family isn’t as concerned about the North Carolina football coach, 73, as much as they are about his will — more specifically, the possibility that they won’t financially benefit as a result of his relationship with Hudson, 24.

“Stop me if you’ve heard this one before — a wealthy old man starts dating a young ambitious woman, and suddenly the family is ‘concerned,’” Cowhead began. “Look, I don’t buy into this whole idea that Bill is some old feeble man who doesn’t know what he’s doing.”

Cowherd added, “And let’s be honest, families aren’t worried about Bill, they’re worried about the will. When dad’s worth over $100 million, suddenly everybody’s got questions like, ‘Who’s getting cut out?’”

Tom Brady and More React to Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson’s Age Gap

On the May 9, episode of the “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast, reporter Pablo Torre said the Belichicks are “extraordinarily concerned” about the couple’s relationship. Torre said he spoke to a “family source” who said there is “deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill’s legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades.”

Cowherd went on to say that he would understand the family’s alleged concern if the former New England Patriots coach was “93” or had been “found wandering barefoot at a truck stop.”

“But he’s not being held in a basement. She’s not spoon-feeding him oatmeal,” he continued. “They’re busy building their own brand, in Chapel Hill, no less. Air Jordon Hudson.”

Us Weekly has reached out to the University of North Carolina for comment.

Belichick and Hudson have been dating since 2021, when the pair reportedly met on an airplane.

During an interview on “The Pivot” podcast on Friday, May 16, Belichick explained the role his girlfriend plays in his personal and professional life.

“I stay focused on football and, some of the other opportunities that come along, Jordon looks at those and can dig into them a little bit deeper,” he said. “But really, what she does is help me spend my time on football, and that’s what’s important to me.”

Belichick also listed Hudson’s “actual responsibilities.”

“Well, nothing with North Carolina. That would be No. 1,” Belichick stated. “It would be personal opportunities, [like] a speaking thing, appearance on this or talk about this or somebody happens to want an autograph, that type of thing. So, she kind of helped organize that for me.” He also defended the decision to allow Hudson to “filter” through his emails.

“So she could, at least, filter through them because we didn’t have a sports information guy,” Belichick said. “That was taken as ‘Jordon’s running the sports information department.’ She’s not doing it. I mean, there was nobody to help me sort them out, so I was asking her to do that.”

Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis play sisters in Prime Video’s drama Scarpetta — and in real life, they have a lot of respect for one another.

“Patricia Cornwell has been writing about a medical examiner named Dr. Kay Scarpetta for over 20 years, and I can’t even tell you how many millions of people have bought these books. And Nicole is going to play Dr. Kay Scarpetta,” Curtis exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2025. The Scream Queen plays Kidman’s sister, Dorothy, in the series.

Despite both enjoying long, successful careers in Hollywood, this is the first time the two have worked together on the same project.

The series will run for at least two seasons on Amazon Prime Video, a deal that was announced in September 2024. Kidman and Curtis will also executive produce the series together — something that will likely help their friendship continue to blossom on and off camera.

Here’s a look at the growing relationship between Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Her Biggest Win! Jamie Lee Curtis Earns 1st Oscar for 'EEAAO'

They met at the Oscars

While speaking to Us Weekly in May 2025, Curtis revealed she and Kidman first met at the Oscars. “She actually introduced herself to me and we exchanged hellos and a little bit of chick bonding,” she told Us.

Curtis continued, “But then we walked away and I was like, ‘Okay, wow. That was crazy.’ And six months later she heard that we were making the Scarpetta show and that I was producing and she basically said, ‘I want to be Scarpetta.’ And then when I went, ‘Okay, great,’ she said, ‘But you’re going to be in it with me, right?’”

“It was that moment of like, ‘Yes, Nicole Kidman. Yes. I’m going to be in a show with you.’ I had no choice,” she added. You had no choice. I was going to be a producer, and at that moment it was decided that I was going to act in the show.”

Jamie Lee Curtis praised Nicole’s “dream and hustle”

While offering a tribute to Kidman at the 2025 Palm Springs International Film Awards, Curtis praised the star’s “dream and hustle.”

“The question is, how does one become the most successful and popular star in the global cinematic broadcast and digital universe? Well, in Nicole Kidman’s case, you start out as a young actress in Australia,” she said. “You dream and hustle and work hard with an internal drive mechanism and a level of ambition and a dedication to craft, plus an exceptional ability to shape shift and dodge and weave and apply the constant importing of new skills to hone and perfect the work.”

“All of us are better when we’re loved,” Curtis also said. “Nicole Kidman was loved. It’s very clear, mostly by her beautiful mother, Janelle, who she sadly lost earlier this year. But she is also loved by her family of origin, her husband, children, chosen family, pets, friends, and countless colleagues from all over the world, not to mention all of her fans and the audiences who appreciate her great work.”

Nicole described Curtis as “fierce”

Kidman has been just as effusive with her compliments for Curtis. While speaking to E! News, she said of her co-star, “That woman is fierce. She is, her talent is abundant, but she’s also just a woman’s woman. She stands by your side. She’s got your back. I can’t say enough lovely things about her. I think everyone in this industry knows that’s what she’s like. And she’s lived a life and she’s willing to share and support. I mean, she’s what you should be.”

Philadelphia Phillies player Jose Alvarado will be off the baseball field for the foreseeable future after he was allegedly caught violating the MLB’s drug policy.

Alvarado was immediately suspended for 80 games after he tested positive for exogenous testosterone, a performance-enhancing substance, ESPN reported on Sunday, May 18.

The team’s president Dave Dombrowski told the outlet the positive test was the result of a weight loss drug Alvarado took during the offseason. “It’s not something he did knowingly,” Dombrowski said. “I believe that, the way he talked to me.”

“We’ve got to move on,” the team’s manager Rob Thomson also said. “It’s too bad, but we’ve got to move on. We have really good pieces here that can pick up the slack.”

Celeb Dodgers and Baseball Fans Mourn Fernando Valenzuela’s Death

If the season continues as expected, Alvarado will be allowed to return for the Phillies’ August 19 game against the Seattle Mariners. He will lose half of his $9 million salary.

The league has certainly endured its fair share of scandals throughout the years, including everything from substance abuse to gambling problems. In 2013, 20 players were accused of using human growth hormone (HGH) obtained from the Biogenesis of America clinic in Florida after a former employee of the clinic linked the athletes to the drug. Fourteen players were ultimately tied to the claim.

Tony Bosch, the clinic’s owner, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute testosterone in October 2014. However, USA Today reported at the time that it was not specified if the charges were related to the MLB scandal. He was sentenced to four years in prison.

During a 2020 interview on Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, pitcher Trevor Bauer said he believed approximately 70 percent of pitchers in the league were using Spider Tack, a resin-based substance used to improve grip on the baseball. By June 2021, the league determined that pitchers who were found using illegal substances during games would be ejected from the game and subsequently receive a 10-game suspension.

And last year the translator for Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani was fired after he was accused of stealing millions from the athlete to pay off his own gambling debts. A criminal complaint alleged that Ippei Mizuhara would wire money into the account of someone who went by the name of “Associate 1.”

Months later, ESPN reported that “Associate 1” was Real Housewives of Orange County star Jennifer Pedranti’s fiancé, Ryan Boyajian, who has not been charged in relation to the allegations.

Blake Lively is smiling through it all!

The actress, 37, shared a new photo in her Instagram Story of herself smiling for the camera alongside her sisters Robyn and Lori on Saturday, May 17. The trio were all smiles amid Lively’s legal drama with It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni.

While Lively’s family has been staunch in their support of the actress amid the ongoing and very public legal battle, Lively’s friendships has reportedly been negatively impacted by the drama. A source recently told Us Weekly that friend and model Gigi Hadid has “distanced” herself from Lively and the duo’s good friend Taylor Swift.

“Gigi has always had a closer friendship with Taylor and stands by her,” the source exclusively told Us on Saturday, May 17. “She has been a very loyal friend to Taylor, and they have been best friends for a decade now.”

The insider added that Hadid “hasn’t necessarily chosen sides” between Lively, 37, and Swift, 35, and the current status of their friend circle is a “reflection of the closeness her and Taylor have shared over the years.”

Blake Lively Asks to Strike 'Baseless' Taylor Swift Claims From Legal Record

 

Swift has also appeared to distance herself from Lively, the insider pointed out. As Taylor has put some space between herself and Blake, Gigi has “naturally done the same,” the insider said. “The shift wasn’t abrupt, but gradual and organic change in dynamics.”

Hadid “doesn’t want to be involved at all” in Lively’s legal battle or the actress’ relationship with Swift. “They haven’t been in touch much this year and it does have everything to do with the lawsuit.”

Lively initially sued Baldoni for sexual harassment in December 2024. Baldoni denied the allegations and filed a $400 million countersuit of his own. Lively has denied Baldoni’s claims.

As part of the ongoing legal back-and-forth, Swift was subpoenaed in the suit earlier this month.

Taylor Swift 'Wasn't Happy' About Being Dragged Into 'It Ends With Us' Drama Case

“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film,” a representative for the singer told Us in a statement on May 9. “She did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history.”

The statement continued: “The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, ‘My Tears Ricochet.’ Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did, this document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.”

Pedro Pascal knows what his fans want — and he’s not afraid to shamelessly deliver.

The actor, 50, showed off his biceps in a black, body-hugging tank top while attending the premiere for his latest film Eddington at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, March 17. The top — and the actor’s muscles — caught the attention of countless fans, who couldn’t help but fawn over Pascal’s physique via social media.

“Me liking every pedro pascal tweet since he arrived in cannes yesterday,” wrote @peetaspascal on X, alongside a GIF from The Voice featuring former One Direction member and coach Niall Horan hitting that coveted button that turns the coach’s chairs towards the stage.

“Every time someone invalidates me for finding a 50 year old man hot, pedro pascal validates me by showing up even sexier and hotter than the day before,” added @wethairjoel.

“Pedro Pascal’s biceps that’s it that’s the tweet,” another fan posted.

Pascal was also asked about the United States’ current political climate while walking the red carpet, which also caught the attention of fans and earned the actor praise online.

“Fear is the way that they win,” Pascal said. “So keep telling the stories, keep expressing yourself and keep fighting to be who you are. F**k the people that try to make you scared, you know? And fight back. This is the perfect way to do so in telling stories. And don’t let them win.”

Pedro Pascal Turns 50! Look Back at His Best Photos Through the Years

Variety reported that Pascal’s latest movie received a 5-minute standing ovation after its debut at Cannes. The film,set in May 2020 in a small town in New Mexico during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic,also stars Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, Luke Grimes, Deirdre O’Connell, Micheal Ward and Clifton Collins Jr.

During a press conference at Cannes, the actor was also asked about U.S. immigration policies. “Obviously, it’s very scary for an actor participating in a movie to sort of speak to issues like this. It’s far too intimidating the question for me to really address, I’m not informed enough,” he added.

“I want people to be safe and to be protected, and I want very much to live on the right of history. I’m an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship, and I was privileged enough to grow up in the U.S. after asylum in Denmark. If it weren’t for that, I don’t know what would have happened to us. I stand by those protections. I’m too afraid of your question, I hardly remember what it was.”

Pascal added that director Aster wrote the movie “in a state of fear and anxiety about the world.”

“I wanted to show what it feels like to live in a world where nobody can agree on what is real anymore,” the actor said. “Over the last 20 years, we’ve fallen into this age of hyper-individualism. That social force that used to be central in liberal mass democracies — and agreed upon vision of the world — that is gone now. COVID felt like the moment where that link was finally cut for good. I wanted to make a film about what America feels like, to me. I’m very worried.”

According to renowned director Wes Anderson, the late Gene Hackman could be “grumpy” — especially when it comes to his money.

“Gene was very annoyed about the money,” Anderson told The Times of London in an interview published on Sunday, May 18.. “He was furious. Also, he didn’t want to do the film anyway. I talked him into it — I just didn’t go away.”

Hackman, who starred in Anderson’s 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums, was apparently not happy with making the same amount of money as the rest of the cast. (The practice has been established for each film Anderson, 56, has made.)

Hackman’s casting attracted costars Anjelica Huston and Gwyneth Paltrow, who the director said had no issue with the base salary arrangement

“And everybody else said yes to the salary, so Gene just went with it — and that just became our way,” Anderson added.

'The Royal Tenenbaums' Cast: Where Are They Now?

Hackman and his wife were both found dead in their New Mexico home in February.

The director also said the last time the pair spoke was at the movie’s premiere, and Hackman admitted to him that despite the salary dispute he really enjoyed being in the film. “But he told me he didn’t understand it when we were shooting,” Anderson admitted. “I wish I’d shown him 10 minutes, early on. Then, maybe, he would have said, ‘OK, I get it.’”

Anderson has worked in movies since 1996’s Bottle Rocket, which he made with friends and frequent film stars Luke and Owen Wilson. He had hoped to get Bill Murray, who would eventually star in several of Anderson’s films, for the part that went to James Caan. He tried again for his second movie, 1998’s Rushmore.

“Then one day the phone rang and it was Bill. I still don’t know how he got through to me, but we talked for 45 minutes and he said he would do the movie and offered to work for the same amount as Jason — the kid,” he said. The kid in question was actor Jason Schwartzman, cousin of Sofia Coppola.

“[Murray]said, ‘I’ll take what he’s taking, but I have to be able to leave for a golf tournament.’ And then, for the next movie, we just said to the studio, ‘Can we do that again?’”

His newest movie, The Phoenician Scheme, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, May 18. The movie stars Benicio Del Toro and Mia Threapleton as an estranged father-daughter pair who are reunited following a near-fatal crash.

Anderson didn’t go so far as to tell the Times that his movies are inspired directly from his life, but he did tease its origins.

Bill Murray Says Gene Hackman Was ‘Difficult’ on ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ Set

“Well, people get all this programming from the first 25 years of their lives. You retain so much and it forms you,” he said. “It becomes a well you draw from, but now I have a daughter. Would I have made this film about a father and daughter if it was not for her? Very possibly not.”

Jennifer Lawrence is back on the red carpet!

The actress, 34, attended the Cannes Film Festival premiere of her latest film Die, My Love on Saturday, May 17. Lawrence stars as a woman who has recently given birth and is suffering from postpartum depression. Robert Pattinson costars as her husband. The movie also stars Nick Nolte, LaKeith Stanfield, Sissy Spacek, Gabrielle Rose, and Sarah Lind and is directed by Lynne Ramsay.

The movie is her first since 2023’s No Hard Feelings, which also starred Andrew Barth Feldman, Lauren Benanti and Matthew Broderick. Lawrence went for a goth glam aesthetic for the movie’s premiere in London that year.

The red carpet is her first for the Kentucky native since she and her husband Cooke Maroney were spotted in March following rumors Lawrence had given birth to to their second child together. Lawrence and Maroney, 40, have been together since March 2018 and married in October 2019. A slew of celebrity guests attended the pair’s nuptials, including Kris Jenner, Adele, Cameron Diaz, Nicole Richie, Emma Stone, Ashley Olsen and Sienna Miller. The characteristically private pair did not share many of the details of the wedding with the public.

Jennifer Lawrence Keeps Things Simple and Chic at the Golden Globes

Lawrence and Maroney are parents to their son Cy, who they welcomed in February 2022. They have not shared the name or sex of their second child.

The actress has been open about how parenthood changed her. “My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about. I include my husband in that. And then they’re both just, like, out there — walking around, crossing streets,” she told Vogue in October 2022. “He’s gonna drive one day. He’s gonna be a stupid teenager and be behind the wheel of a car. And I’m just gonna be, like, ‘Good night!’ You know? Like, who sleeps?”

She continued, “The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over. Like, now is day one of my life. I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing. They’re these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors.”

Before giving birth, Lawrence made headlines for her mob-wife-esque maternity style. She was photographed in New York City wearing a leopard-print coat by Malene Birger. Her maternity style also featured cozy sweaters from The Row and La Ligne and even similarly comfortable but cool sneakers from the New Balance x Aime Leon Dore collaboration.

Angelina Jolie has made a triumphant return to the Cannes Film Festival.

The actress, 49, attended the festival in support of director Ari Aster’s Eddington on Friday, May 16. Jolie stunned in a white Brunello Cucinelli dress with a cinched waist, which she accessorized with a gold necklace and drop earrings and wearing the PATTY 03 White Leather Sandals by Bulgarian shoemaker INGILIZ.

. It was her first walk on the Cannes red carpet in 10 years.

Jolie has made other personal strides in recent months. In February, a source close to the actress spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about the star’s dating life. (The actress filed for divorce from ex-husband Brad Pitt in 2016, two years after they wed.)

“It’s hard for her to trust men after what she went through with Brad,” the source explained to Us at the time. “She hasn’t sworn off men, but she’s not looking for anything serious right now.”

Venice Film Festival Director Details Plan to Prevent Brangelina Run-In

The source added Jolie “doesn’t think she’ll ever get over the trauma” from the pair’s relationship. Pitt was investigated by the Los Angeles County Department of Children after Jolie claimed he was allegedly physically and emotionally abusive toward her and their kids during a 2016 flight from France to California. Pitt, who denied his ex’s allegations, was cleared of any wrongdoing and did not face any charges.

The former partners were declared legally single in 2019, but continued to battle over their French winery, Château Miraval, and custody of their six children. They finalized their divorce in December 2024.

“More than eight years ago, Angelina filed for divorce from Mr. Pitt. She and the children left all of the properties they had shared with Mr. Pitt, and since that time she has focused on finding peace and healing for their family,” Jolie’s lawyer, James Simon, told Us in a statement. “This is just one part of a long ongoing process that started eight years ago. Frankly, Angelina is exhausted, but she is relieved this one part is over.” (Pitt’s rep declined to comment at the time.)

The movie Jolie was supporting, which has sparked controversy at the festival, stars Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, Austin Butler and Joaquin Phoenix. The film is set in a small town in New Mexico at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Ups and Downs Through the Years

The Cannes premiere was also eventful after Stone and Pascal were forced to contend with an unexpected visitor while taking red carpet photos: a bee! In a clip shared by Variety, Stone was seen hiding behind her co-stars as she attempted to evade the insect. Butler eventually stepped in and attempted to swat the bee away.

Aubrey O’Day thinks there’s one specific part of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ sex trafficking trial that is especially difficult for the embattled entertainer.

“The more tense interaction that I was very curious of is with Puff, because it’s been spoken about as common knowledge amongst people that are in the scene and around that situation, that it was rough losing Cassie for him with [ex-wife] Kim [Porter] being gone this would likely be the only other person that … maybe he loved and claimed in front of the world like he did Kim,” O’Day said during the Friday, May 16, episode of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ “Amy & T.J.” podcast.

“There’s not a ton of women that he’s, like, openly claimed for very long periods of time, and I think he probably was sitting in front of somebody that he loved most in the lane of girlfriend and you know beyond Kim Porter, and then also somebody that he probably hates the most in life because she’s potentially — he sees her as responsible for being the demise of his entire existence,” she continued.

“I thought the dynamics of also him knowing that that could have been the baby that’s inside of her and that he could have had her child — he had children with a bunch of women throughout the relationship that he wasn’t as open with as he was with Cassie. I think that probably had to hit on so many levels. I can’t even imagine the torture. I don’t think there are enough drugs that could make me go to sleep at night after that,” O’Day concluded.

Aubrey O’Day Shares What It Was Like Watching Cassie Testify at Diddy Trial

Cassie is currently pregnant with her third child with husband Alex Fine. The pair also share two daughters, Frankie and Sunny.

Diddy and ex-girlfriend (real name Casandra Ventura Fine) dated on and off for more than a decade before ending their relationship in 2018. Cassie sued Diddy for sexual assault and abuse in 2023.

“After years in silence and darkness,” Cassie said in a statement to The New York Times after filing a bombshell lawsuit against Diddy for alleged abuse and assault. “I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships.”

Diddy, meanwhile, issued a statement of denial via his legal team that same day. “Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations. For the past six months, Mr. Combs has been subjected to Ms. Ventura’s persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail,” his lawyer Ben Brafman said in a statement to the outlet. “Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs’s reputation and seeking a payday.”

Diddy has been in jail since September 2024, when he was arrested in New York after a grand jury indicted him on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he pleaded not guilty. The trial began on May 5. He has denied all allegations and has pleaded not guilty.

Cassie’s legal team, for its part, claimed that Diddy offered her “eight figures to silence her,” which she rejected. Instead, she sued her ex-boyfriend for allegedly harming her in the past both physically and sexually. The pair settled the case for $20 million in 2023.

Motherhood has changed Julia Stiles — and it sounds like for the better.

In an interview with the Times of London published Saturday, May 17, Stiles admitted that being a mom to three kids (she shares sons Strummer, 6, and Arlo, 2, as well as a third child whose name and sex has not been revealed with husband Preston Cook) has softened her.

The pair’s third child arrived three months before Stiles took on her first director role for Wish You Were Here. “I feel so much more raw and emotional,” she told the outlet.

The movie is an adaptation of the novel by the same name from author Renée Carlino.

Julia Stiles, Husband Preston Cook Secretly Welcomed Baby No. 3 Months Ago

“I had a really visceral reaction to the book,” Stiles added. “I was laughing and crying and then laughing through my tears.” Despite that, she wanted to be careful with the movie. “These romance movies can become sentimental very quickly,” she explained.

The timing was tough — Stiles didn’t intend to make the movie so soon after giving birth, but it took her half a decade to get the script and producers organized. “Then the SAG [Screen Actors Guild] strike happened,” she said. “Then I had a baby. And when we were finally able to get back in production, I just thought, I have to do this now.”

Her husband had to go back to work at the same time, and Stiles also found herself “kind of solo parenting three kids.”

“But my parents were immensely helpful — they came to live with us — and I had a wonderful nanny,” she added. “I was certainly overwhelmed at times, but I just kept saying to myself, ‘You can do this because women do it all the time.“Women with jobs equally if not more complicated or demanding than mine.”

Stiles spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about the film in December 2024. The romantic drama is based on the bestselling book by Renee Carlino and follows the story of Charlotte, a woman who, while searching for a spark, spends a whirlwind night of romance with a stranger. When she discovers that he is terminally ill, she commits to helping him spend his last days living life to the fullest. Isabelle Fuhrman, Mena Massoud, Gabby Kono, Jimmie Fails, Kelsey Grammer and Jennifer Grey also star, with Stiles also serving as co writer.

“It has been a career-long dream of mine to direct a movie. It took me about five years from reading the book to finally being in production, and it was extraordinary,” Stiles told Us. “I loved every minute of it.”

“When we were actually filming, I was able to be on set and think, ‘Oh yeah, I know how to do this,’ because I’ve been on a bazillion movie sets,” she explained. “[Wish You Were Here] is a love story, and even in the five years it took to get it made, it feels even more relevant now. We need a movie like this more than ever because it’s so hopeful about connection and falling in love.”

Aubrey O’Day is sharing her unfiltered thoughts on Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ children supporting him in person during his ongoing sex trafficking trial.

“The fact that the kids are marching up to that court, praying over everything and walking in with a bunch of women also that are encouraging it,” O’Day said on the Friday, May 16, episode of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes‘ “Amy & T.J.” podcast. On Monday, May 12, his daughters Chance, D’Lila and Jessie Combs left the courtroom during the testimony of sex worker Daniel Phillip.

“I don’t know any father that would want their children to sit through testimony about how much their daddy liked to watched people lubricated, f***ing, getting pissed on and urinated in their mouths, having his girlfriend cum in the other room and rub their cum all over his nipples,” she continued.

Diddy has been in jail since September 2024, when he was arrested in New York after a grand jury indicted him on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he pleaded not guilty. The trial began on May 5. He has denied all allegations and has pleaded not guilty.

Diddy Blows Kisses to His 6 Kids and Mom in Courtroom at Bail Hearing

The singer also questioned why Diddy would want his children to learn this information about him in the first place. “Not saying y’all do that, but whatever the freakiest night you guys have had, would you want your children to know about it? It’s concerning to me, that the optics of them being there and supporting [their] father are obviously a very strong play for the defense,” O’Day added.

O’Day added that the jury “is seeing them in there,” something she said is “an optics game.”

“It’s an optics game, likely, but the optics on that as a father, you’re a father first and as a father, I just wouldn’t want my two girls that are only a year younger than Cassie was when he started dating her, 19,” O’Day continued. “I believe the girls are around 18. I would not ever want my child to hear anything like that.”

“It’s telling to me. It means that daddy’s being selfish and he needs, in my opinion, it feels like daddy needs you in court because daddy needs all the optics to look in his favor, and I don’t really care what you have to sit through. And that, to me, is just showing that same narcissism and ego and dare I say coercion that we’re discussing about this man. You know, his needs come first. What he wants comes first,” O’Day concluded.

Us Weekly has reached out to Combs’ legal and managerial representation for comment.

According to People, Chance and the twins left the courtroom twice while Phillip testified, both times as he was giving graphic accounts of sexual encounters. At one point when they left, Phillip was recalling a time when Combs allegedly masturbated into a corner while watching him have sex with Cassie.

The outlet noted that Diddy’s daughters as well as his mother, Janice Combs, remained in the courtroom as prosecutors played the 2016 video that showed him assaulting Cassie in a hotel. Per People, Diddy’s sons, Justin, Christian and Quincy, watched the video while his daughters and Janice stared straight ahead.

Diddy, 55, is the father of seven children. He shares eldest son Justin with ex Misa Hylton. The rapper and the late Kim Porter shared son Christian, and he also adopted Porter’s son Quincy, whom she shared with Al B. Sure. They also welcomed twins D’Lila and Jessie. (Porter died at age 47 in 2018.) Diddy and Sarah Chapman share daughter Chance. His youngest child is daughter Love, 2, whom he shares with Dana Tran.

Aubrey O’Day is standing behind Cassie after the actress and model testified against former partner Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

“The bravery is unmeasurable right now, especially eight months, eight and a half months pregnant, and it’s triggering,” O’Day said on the Friday, May 16, episode of Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes’ “Amy & T.J.” podcast. “And then also, I kind of feel, you know, I was asking people that are in court, that I’m friends with, the journalists, and I was asking, ’Does she feel like she’s still hurting?’ Like, you’re seeing someone that’s hurting.”

O’Day, 41, continued, “‘Are you seeing someone that’s healed and just recalling things for a trial?’ And she said, ‘Definitely still hurting, and very much in the process of, like, fully being engulfed in what it is to go through all of it,’” O’Day continued. “And that hurt me, because I just wanted to believe that this was like something that she was so healed from, or that she was, you know, but she said it’s almost cathartic, because it feels like at the end of watching her each day, that she’s facing this person, and she’s able to finally get this off of her chest. And so she thinks that she told me she thought this would likely be something that’s gonna be healing.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Combs’ legal and managerial representation for comment.

Inside the Courtroom Dynamic Between Diddy, Cassie and Her Husband Alex Fine

Diddy has been in jail since September 2024, when he was arrested in New York after a grand jury indicted him on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, to which he pleaded not guilty. The trial began on May 5.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Cassie took the stand on Tuesday, May 13, kicking off four days of emotional testimony that included allegations of rape and abuse. Diddy has denied all allegations against him.

The singer had praise for another man in Cassie’s life: her husband, Alex Fine. The pair share two children and are expecting their third. HotNewHipHop reported earlier this week Combs’ legal team attempted to have Fine removed from court, and Robach and Holmes asked if Combs is a threat to others if released from prison.

“I can give you a few examples of why I would lean towards yes on that. He wanted Alex Fine taken out of court. His lawyers fought very hard to make sure Alex was removed. They brought up text messages that Alex sent him, basically saying, like ‘I’m gonna fuck you up etc.,’” O’Day explained. “Now listen, if your wife came home and told you that that had been happening to her. You probably said, I’m gonna fuck you up to some people as well.”

On Friday, Fine released a statement read by attorney Douglas Wigdor outside the New York City courthouse. “Over the past five days, the world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife freeing herself of her past,” Fine said.

“There has been speculation online surrounding how it must feel for me to sit there and listen to my wife’s testimony,” his statement continued. “I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her.”

“So to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this. You did not. You did not break her spirit, nor her smile, that lights up every room,” Fine also said. “You did not break the soul of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man.”

O’Day also confirmed that though she is in New York City, she is not planning to testify against Combs.

Meghan Markle isn’t afraid of getting messy — and she thinks more people should be okay “getting your hands dirty.”

In the May 6 episode of her podcast “Confessions of a Female Founder with Meghan” (a Lemonada Media production), the Duchess of Sussex, 43, sat down with FIGS founder Heather Hasson, who has changed the medical apparel industry.

“It can get messy and the best founders are not afraid to get their hands dirty,” Meghan said of entrepreneurs who start their own business. “And I don’t mean play dirty. I mean, when it’s ‘clean up on aisle five’ time, you are the first person there with a mop.”

Meghan also credited Hasson with being exactly that type of person.

During the episode Meghan asked Hasson, “The whole point for me, and you’ll probably speak to this too, is when you see something that is an easy solve in the everyday, that’s not complicated, that’s not fussy, how do you get your hands involved?”

“I see vegetables and I see takeout — because I don’t have time to cook every day — and I go, ‘Alright, but how do I still make this flattering and beautiful and present well and something that people find appetizing?’’ she added.

Hasson answered, “I think when you take something so simple in your everyday life and you elevate it and you make it elegant, I think that’s what makes it so special.”

Meghan also shared that her experience in theatre helped prepare her for life as a founder of a company, something she might not have seen coming at the time.

Meghan Markle Teases Highs, Lows and ‘Girl Talk’ in New Podcast Trailer

“I was a theater major and part of the program was that you couldn’t just do the acting,” she explained. “You had to do soup-to-nuts every part of what a production would entail, which I actually think is incredible training for when you’re running a team, because you appreciate what the sound person does and what the lighting person does.”

That kind of intrepid spirit is a hallmark of Meghan’s work across the board, whether it’s her Netflix series With Love, Meghan or her lifestyle brand As Ever. With Love, Meghan takes viewers to Montecito, California, where Meghan lives with her husband Prince Harry and the pair’s two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and allows the Duchess the opportunity to share a more personal side of herself with her well-wishers.

In the series, Meghan makes it clear that taking care of others is a core value she holds, and that’s something she also emphasized in her conversation with Hasson.

“All that stuff happens at the beginning,” she said on the podcast of putting care into each step of the process of As Ever. “I mean, the types of minutiae that at a certain point — as a founder — at the onset, you kind of have to be across every single granular detail. For me, I don’t know how to not have love in the details.”

Kylie Jenner is having an island adventure — and she’s doing it without her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet.

Photos obtained by Us Weekly show Jenner, 27, and her former assistant Maguire Amundsen having fun together in Turks and Caicos on Monday, May 12. Jenner looked stunning in a hot pink bikini. She paired the pink look with a delicate silver waist chain and matching rings. The beauty mogul wore her long dark hair down around her shoulders.

Other photos from the trip, published by TMZ, showed Jenner and Maguire having fun while swimming in the ocean.

Pics from Jenner’s trip to paradise came only days after the reality star made her red carpet debut on May 7 with Chalamet, 29, in Italy at the 70th David Di Donatello at Cinecittà Studios.

Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner Make Red Carpet Debut

Days earlier, Jenner attended the 2025 Met Gala held at New York City’s The Metropolitan Museum of Art without Chalamet. Jenner posed alongside Maximilian Davis, the creative director of Ferragamo, when arriving at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5.

Things between the pair are definitely getting serious, a source exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, May 12. “Kylie’s really happy and relieved they finally made their debut. It was time and she wanted to publicly support him and show how proud of him she is,” the source said. “She and Timothée have gotten really serious, and this was a big step.”

“They are practically living together at this point, as he stays at her house often when he is not working,” the source continued. “He has been fully integrated into her life.”

“Everything is going really well. She’s proud to stand by him and felt like it was the right time to share that part of their relationship. They are in a really good place,” the source told Us. “He makes her feel calm and confident and it is a different relationship from what she has had in the past.”

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet Have Romantic Parisian Date Night 

Jenner also helped Chalamet get ready for the festival. Chalamet FaceTimed with Tom Ford’s creative director Haider Ackermann. In footage shared via Instagram by Ackermann days later, Jenner used a lint roller on the fabric to make sure Chalamet’s look was perfect.

“TEAMWORK. Miss K, you’re hired!!” Ackermann wrote via Instagram on Saturday, May 10, tagging Chalamet and Jenner’s respective accounts.

Jenner and Chalamet have been dating since spring 2023, and Jenner was by Chalamet’s side for most of this year’s awards season following the release of his Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. The actor was nominated for an Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe, SAG award and Critics’ Choice award for the role and Chalamet brought Jenner as his plus-one to multiple events, including the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.

Zara Tindall says the royal family is just like any other, and sometimes that means not everyone gets along.

While speaking at the London Sporting Club on Thursday, May 8, Tindall told The Sun, “It is very hard to see from the outside but, 100 percent, it is a family that is still going through the same struggles other people do.”

“Whether they are relationships, obviously it is very easy to see every day. We’re still very supportive of each other,” she added.

The royal family remains fractured following Prince Harry’s interview with the BBC earlier this month. King Charles III was given a “very brief” heads up the interview would air, claimed Hello! Magazine’s Emily Nash.

Royal Family Had 'Brief' Warning About Prince Harry’s Bombshell Interview

“There was a very brief awareness-raising at the palace shortly before it [was] broadcast,” Nash claimed on the “A Right Royal Podcast” on Friday, May 9. “What I understand is that there were, potentially, discussions that might have happened as a result of the case now having been concluded.”

Nash also said King Charles continues to assert that “he could [not] have these conversations” about Prince Harry’s security trial because it “put him in a really difficult, and potentially unconstitutional, situation.”

“He couldn’t be seen to intervene on his son’s behalf or get involved in government matters,” Nash added. “His son is suing His Majesty’s government, you know he needed to stay right out of this situation.”

Harry has stated that he is open to reconciling with his family after losing his legal appeal for government-funded security in the United Kingdom. Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have been fighting to regain security since stepping down as senior royals in 2020.

Nash also said that any reconciliation that might have been on the table was trashed after Harry participated in the BBC interview, which aired on May 2. “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore,” Harry said. “Life is precious. I don’t know how much longer my father has.”

Why King Charles and Prince Harry's Feud Is 'Relatable' and 'A Tragedy'

Royal expert Christopher Andersen told Us Weekly exclusively that Harry’s comment on his father’s health likely did not help the situation. (The king has been battling an undisclosed form of cancer since early 2024.)

“He slams his father for interfering in the trial, then says the Palace rigged the outcome, then accuses the Royal Family of not caring about the safety of his wife and children, and winds up declaring that for now he can’t foresee any scenario in which he would take his family to the U.K.,” Andersen, who has written several books about the royal family, continued. “Harry delivered the coup de grace when he said he wanted to bury the hatchet with his father because he doesn’t know how much time the King has left to live.”

Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder is facing some serious legal trouble.

Snyder was arrested in Ohio on Friday, May 9, as part of a prostitution ring, authorities confirmed on Monday, May 12. Columbus Police Sgt. Joe Albert told local CBS affiliate 10 WNBS the city’s Police and Community Together (PACT) Unit conducted an undercover mission on Friday. Officers began to receive text messages from a man responding to an ad around 8:15 p.m. that night.

Authorities set up a meeting with the man at a nearby hotel. According to the news channel, Snyder arrived 20 minutes later and paid an undercover officer with cash before he asked for a sexual act. He was arrested for engaging in prostitution and subsequently released from custody.

Snyder was one of 16 men charged during the operation. He is due in court on May 19.

Team USA Volleyball Star Erik Shoji Hints Olympics Don't 'Pay the Bills'

Snyder, the youngest wrestling world champion in U.S. history, became the country’s youngest gold medalist in the sport at the 2016 Rio Olympics. “I don’t really have too big of a secret,” Snyder told AP at the time. “I listen to my coaches. I train as hard as I possibly can.

“I think, if anything, my secret is that instead of thinking about winning and thinking about gold medals and stuff like that, I try to value just my effort, value my improvement and value the love that I have for the sport. That drives me every day,” he added.

He represented the United States for a second time at the Tokyo Olympic Games, where he earned the silver medal. Snyder was also at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, where he placed fourth.

On May 8, Snyder and fellow medalists Kyle Dake and Aaron Brooks signed with the Real American Freestyle wrestling league. The league launched in Tampa, Florida, in early May, and will hold its first event on August 30 in Cleveland, Ohio.

The league is helmed by Hulk Hogan, Eric Bishoff, and wrestling coach Israel “Izzy” Martinez. Per a press release published by Forbes, Real American Freestyle Wrestling is an unscripted, freestyle league that will involve over 40 characters. In addition to Snyder, Dake, and Brooks, the league has also signed former UFC fighter Ben Askren, former national champion Zahid Valencia, former Olympian and world champion Kennedy Blades.

“Real American wrestlers are some of the most disciplined, elite athletes in the world — but until now, they haven’t had a true professional stage to showcase their greatness,” Hogan said in the April statement. “Eric and I know how to build the kind of heat that grabs attention and we’re going to make Real American Freestyle wrestling a must-see for fans.”

Morgan Wallen is clearing the air about his viral Saturday Night Live walk-off.

During an interview on Caleb Pressley’s Sundae Conversation YouTube show released on Sunday, May 11, Wallen, 31, clarified that he truly meant no disrespect to the audience or cast when he hastily left the stage before the show’s conclusion in March.

After Pressley asked, “Seriously, SNL, did they make you mad?” Wallen shut down any hint of displeasure on his end. “No, no, I was just ready to go home. I [had] been there all week,” he answered.

Wallen was the musical guest on the show’s Mikey Madison-hosted episode on March 29. He abruptly walked off the stage before the show’s end credits had concluded and later posted a photo of his private jet with the caption “Get me to God’s country” via his Instagram Story.

Morgan Wallen Says He Doesn't 'Like' Parts of Fame After 'SNL' Walk-Off

During the show, Wallen performed “I’m the Problem” and “Just in Case” from his upcoming album, set to be released on May 16.

The appearance was his first after he was pulled from the show’s line-up in 2020 after he was spotted partying without a mask and kissing women indiscriminately.

On April 1, Variety reported Wallen turned down the “Big Dumb Line” skit with host Madison, Chloe Fineman and Bowen Yang. The role was ultimately played by Joe Jonas.

The cast of Saturday Night Live poked fun at Wallen’s departure in two sketches on April 5. “This was the worst week for the stock market since the summer of 2020,” Colin Jost, 42, began during his “Weekend Update” segment. “But you have to remember, back then, the president was also [Donald] Trump. Just in the past two days, investors have lost over $6 trillion.”

He continued, “Money is leaving the stock market faster than Morgan Wallen at ‘Goodnights.’”

Wallen’s “God’s country” line also inspired a joke in the show’s cold open. “M​​cDonald Island? I’d love to visit there,” James Austin Johnson, impersonating Trump, joked in the opening skit. “Can you imagine that? A Big Mac and a hula skirt? Ooh la la! … I want to go to there. Get me to God’s country, right?”

During the April 2 episode of Theo Von’s “Last Weekend” podcast, Wallen opened up about how he’s impacted by fame. “It’s still weird, and there’s parts of [fame] that I don’t like,” he shared. “I think anybody who has to deal with that … it’s not ideal.”

Wallen continued: “It’s not ideal to go everywhere, and even if you don’t get bothered, you were on edge the whole time because you thought you might. There’s things that you just don’t do. There’s just things you don’t do anymore.”

He added that hunting is one activity he’s still able to participate in. “I can go be with my buddies. I’m in the middle of nowhere. I can be at ease,” he explained. “I can not stress out. You just find ways to supplement it, I think, you know?”
