SZA Takes A 10-Day Vow of Silence in India as Her Movie Opens
SZA revealed she is about to embark on a 10-day vow of silence in India as her debut movie One of Them Days is released.
The singer-songwriter (real name Solána Imani Rowe) shared her excitement about the film’s release before the vow of silence kicked off via an Instagram post on Friday, January 17.
“Man listen. I’m in India and they ‘bout to take my phone in 7 hours for a 10 day vow of silence , but I COULD NOT MISS RELEASE DAY !!” SZA, 35, wrote. “I swear to God this was the most unique experience of my entire life!”
Referencing her producer Issa Rae and costar Keke Palmer, SZA added, “When I signed on for this movie I literally didn’t think a single thing through other than ‘gaddamn I love Issa and Keke what an honor.’ I didn’t think of how I was actively on tour and wouldn’t get to rehearse or prepare, I didn’t think how I had a deluxe to finish or factor in that I actually had to be on camera at any point (like duh, dummy.) That sounds insane but that’s how much I love respect and admire these women !! NO THOUGHTS JUST YES.”

SZA went on to praise the rest of team involved, and emphasized how they put in so much hard work to achieve the finished product.
“@tiffanyblackness you’re the best acting coach I could ever ask for ! We literally met on set you whipped me into shape in real time .. ur a !!Coming out of my shell ,facing myself and the world for this movie has been a transformative experience,” SZA continued.
“Every step of the way I shed more skin and gain more respect for the process . @keke you are a blessing . everyday. Thank you for taking time to get to know me and see me beyond preconceived notions . You held me down in ways I’ll never be able to post (let’s just say if it gotta go down, it will ). Ur a girls girl and not for play . @issarae and @lawrencelamont thank you for seeing something in me at any point !!”
The “Kill Bill” singer went on to joke, “Yall are insane for picking someone w NO acting experience to co star but dammit !!! I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR YOUR PATIENCE TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING. I need you both to know, this changed my life.”

Rachael Kirkconnell’s Sister Trinity Weighs in on Matt James Break Up
Rachael Kirkconnell’s sister Trinity is shedding new light on her sibling’s shock split with Matt James.
The Bachelor couple were together for four years before James, 33, announced via Instagram this week that they had called it quits – just one day after sharing loved-up posts with Rachael, 28, from a trip to London.
The timing had fans scratching their heads – including TikTok sleuth Gabby White, who shared a video via the social media platform on Friday, January 17, sharing speculation around why the break up played out the way that it did.
“Last thing I’ll say, which is the weirdest to me is I know that the London content was probably sponsored,” she said in the video. “He’s probably contractually obligated to post it but the timing between having like a happy-go-lucky post, being in the comments being so loving and like, publicly together to literally 12 hours later posting this insanely worded break up post, that’s the strangest part to me.”
Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell’s Split: What Went Wrong?
The video prompted one follower to respond in the comments section, “The old content from London makes sense if it was sponsored, but it feels like he could have edited her out or not liked/responded to comments about her on the posts.”
Jumping in with new information, Trinity replied to the comment to clarify the timing of her sister and James’ relationship ending.
“Yea so they were still together when he was posting all that… just to give some perspective on the timeline of things,” Trinity wrote.
A follow up TikTok post from White revealed that Trinity claimed James uploaded his break up post just three hours after the couple split.
@gabzilla_123456 Replying to @allena shimon NEW INFO!! like what’s the rush Matt?? why did you feel the need to speak out first #mattjames #bachelor #rachaelkirkconnell
James announced his separation from Rachael in the early hours of Thursday, January 16 via Instagram.
“Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts. Give us a peace about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding,” James wrote alongside a photo of him and Rachael on The Bachelor season 25.
Tagging Rachael in the post, James added, “Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us. And remind us that our Joy comes from you, Lord .”
Matt James’ Content From London Is Raising Questions About Rachael Split
James chose Rachael as his Bachelor winner during season 25, which aired in early 2021. However, by the After the Final Rose special in March of that year, James said they had broken up after Rachael’s past racially insensitive social media activity resurfaced. The couple reconciled a month later.
Following the post, some Bachelor fans questioned if Rachael had been “blindsided” by the split.
A source told Us Weekly on Friday, January 17 that Rachael wasn’t blindsided by the split itself but rather James’ statement and post.
Zooey Deschanel Loses Childhood Home in L.A. Wildfires
Zooey Deschanel shared a heartfelt tribute to her childhood home as she revealed it burned down in the Los Angeles wildfires.
The New Girl star, 45, shared her loss as she posted a series of images via Instagram on Friday, January 17.
Among the photos was an image of her childhood home in Pacific Palisades when it was still standing, while another photo taken from the same viewpoint showed it reduced to ash and rubble following the January wildfires that ravaged the area.
Other photos showed Zooey’s family, including her sister and Bones star Emily Deschanel, 48, inside and outside the house over the years making memories.
Celebrities Share Personal Photos of Heartbreaking Los Angeles Wildfires
“My childhood home. A marvel of 1920s Spanish revival architecture. Full of too many incredible memories to count, it was one of the oldest homes in the Palisades and so spectacularly beautiful,” Zoeey captioned the post. It was not a mansion but it was cozy and lovely and unique and perfect to me.”
The actress reflected on how meaningful her home was to her in the poignant caption.
“One of my friends growing up called it “The Church” because the 14 foot ceilings with stained glass windows in the living room cast colorful shadows at the end of the day. And to me it was holy, a sanctuary where we felt most safe. The Christmas dinners, Easter egg hunts, trick or treating, weddings, birthdays, baby showers… we celebrated the best moments of our lives there,” Zooey wrote. “The family photos that lined the hallways, the artwork, the piano I learned to play on, the wedding china, the furniture my great great grandfather built… the reminders of generations past: All have vanished into thin air.”
She continued: “I know we are not alone. Along with another beautiful LA neighborhood, Alta Dena, the streets of my childhood in Pacific Palisades have been all but erased as we knew them. So many people have lost so much.”
Zoeey went on to pay tribute to those who have supported herself, her family and community. She also gave a special shoutout to the firefighters who had been working tirelessly on the frontline, describing them as “true heroes.”
“To all the people who have shown up for us and our community and Los Angeles in general: Thank you. To the firefighters who have been working around the clock to keep everyone safe: You are our true heroes,” Zoeey added. “To the friends who have been so wonderful to think of us during this time: you have texted and called, come to visit, you have made us meals, you have sent clothes to my parents who left with nothing, you have distracted us with humor and you have cried with us when we needed. Your kindness is the salve that has made this bearable. To the strangers who have lifted our spirits with kind gestures: you are the true meaning of community.”

She concluded, “Thank you all for showing us the goodness in your hearts. You have no idea how much it means to us.”
More than 12,000 structures are estimated to have been destroyed in the wildfires ravaging parts of Los Angeles including the exclusive Pacific Palisades area, Malibu, Santa Monica and the Hollywood Hills. Celebrities such as Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Paris Hilton and Miles Teller are among those whose houses went up in flames.

Ryan Seacrest Startled When ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Contestant Grabs Him
Ryan Seacrest was left startled when an overly excited Wheel of Fortune contestant grabbed him during an episode of the popular game show.
Ricky Brown, a contestant from Easton, Pennsylvania, enthusiastically jumped up and down in celebration after solving a particularly tricky puzzle during the Wednesday, January 15 episode of Wheel. In the midst of the animated celebrations, the musician grabbed onto host Seacrest, 50, who looked visually surprised to be caught up in the moment.
Brown had just guessed correctly the puzzle in the “Phrase” category. The three-word phrase, “As you wish” was a tough one, with the letters chosen leaving Brown to guess from a puzzle that read, “AS / _ _ _ / _ _ S _.”
Despite the difficulty, Brown guessed correctly when the 10-second timer started, shouting, “As you wish!”
“Yes! You got it! How did you do that?” a shocked Seacreast responded before Brown jumped up and down and embraced him in the awkward hug.
Ryan Seacrest Jokingly Says He Plans to ‘Postpone Retirement’
“Hold on, you bent the card,” Seacrest joked as he referenced the prize envelope he was holding, before revealing that Brown had won an extra $40,000. The extra money meant Brown won a total of $64,000 plus a cruise after correctly guessing the phrase.
Earlier in the show, Brown started strong in Round 1, winning $2950 from the get-go. While he suffered a small setback when answered a question incorrectly in the Mystery Round (he answered “Tanzania and New Zealand” instead of the correct answer of “Tasmania and New Zealand”), Brown quickly bounced back.
The contestant solved a puzzle in the Express Round and won a cruise and nailed two out of three puzzles in the Triple Toss Up round.
Brown became a fan favorite during the episode due to his entertaining antics, including writing a song about being on the game show.
Ryan Seacrest Shares Glimpse at 1st Day As ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Host
Encouraged by Seacrest, Brown performed the custom rap as he stood behind the show’s famous wheel alongside fellow competitors Karen Morgan from Clinton, Maryland, and Lisa McDaniel from Norman, Oklahoma.
“Wheel of Fortune is the place to be. Back home, I watched it on ABC. A smile on my face, I’m having a lot of fun. My wife is here, but I’m missing my son,” he rapped. “Who knows? I might win a trip across Rome. And to all my family and friends back home… The feeling I’m having right now is the best, I’m chilling with Vanna [White] and Ryan Seacrest.”
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s 3 Kids: Get to Know Honor, Haven and Hayes
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren welcomed three children before parting ways romantically in January 2025.
“I’m proud of how we’ve grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals,” Alba via Instagram on January 16, confirming their separation. “We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority, and we request privacy at this time.”
Alba’s children, Honor, Haven and Hayes, have always been her and Warren’s priority — even if they don’t know how hip their parents are.
“My kids do not think I’m cool,” Alba exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024. She joked that her and Honest Renovations costar Lizzy Mathis are “the best of the worst” in their kids’ eyes.

Alba revealed, “My kids just don’t think parents in general are cool because they’re, like, ‘Oh, what do they know?’ Cause obviously [they know].”
She added that her kids “think my friends are cool,” but she and Warren were not on that list.
Scroll down to meet Alba and Warren’s three children:
Honor Marie Warren
Alba and Warren’s eldest child, daughter Honor, was born on June 7, 2008. (When Alba was nine-months pregnant with Honor she and Warren eloped and tied the knot at a courthouse.)
Alba was inspired during her pregnancy with Honor to create the Honest Company, after the actress had an adverse reaction to baby detergent. Alba stepped down from the company in April 2024.
The Fantastic Four actress has been vocal about her highs and lows with Honor, revealing in January 2024 that the mother-daughter duo went to therapy together.

“Honor was probably 11, and we were arguing all the time about dumb stuff. And I was like, ‘I don’t want to live like this. This is not fun,’” Alba told Real Simple at the time. “I didn’t want us to have a wedge between us. As her mother, when I say something, she’s going to hear it as an argument or as me trying to control her. I wanted there to be someone who could explain things in a way I couldn’t.” She confessed that the session with Honor “put [me] in check.”
In June 2024, Alba gushed about her firstborn as she turned 16. “Your sweet but wise disposition from day one — only allowing those who you trust closest to you — is inspiring,” she wrote via Instagram. “Those who will treat challenges between you with softness, can be silly and most importantly who are authentic to their core. You sniff out fake people like no other. You are effortless in standing in your truth, you are considerate, and kind and you care deeply about everyone around you.”
Haven Garner Warren
The pair’s second daughter, Haven, was born on August 13, 2011. She was named because she was born inside her amniotic sac, or as Warren told Alba, “She was born in her safe haven.”
Unlike her big sister, Haven has red hair, which caught Alba off guard. “I really only expected my child to look like Honor,” the actress told People in 2011. “When the two of us made such a different-looking kid it was like, ‘OK, I guess we can do this too!’ It was a nice little surprise.”

Alba revealed in July 2022 that she began taking Haven to therapy with her, as she did with Honor before. “Around puberty is when it’s the time I think, for me, with my girls,” she told Glamour UK. “That’s when they started to sort of shut down and get really like, ‘I don’t want to talk any more.’ And I’m like, ‘We’re not doing this.’”
Alba praised Haven on her 13th birthday in August 2024, writing via Instagram, “My sweet Havie, the day you entered this world, my heart expanded in ways that words can’t fully capture. The love I felt for you was immediate and overwhelming — beyond anything I could have imagined. You arrived in the most extraordinary way, born in the caul, and from that moment, you have embodied your name, being a true safe #Haven for all of us.”
Hayes Alba Warren
Warren and Alba’s youngest child and only son, Hayes, was born on December 31, 2017. For Alba, a baby boy was an answer to her prayers.
“For me … the girls love their dad. I wanted someone to love me more,” she joked ahead of Hayes’ arrival, telling Rachael Ray in October 2017, “When he comes home, they’re like, ‘Daddy!’ It’s like a party.”
When Hayes was nearly 4, Alba visited The Rachael Ray Show and teased in September 2021 that he was a “nice break from the drama” of her two girls.
The following year, she honored Hayes via Instagram. “I love you more than words could ever express my sweet boy. Your spirit is pure love and joy!” Alba wrote via Instagram in December 2022. “I love everything that makes you you! Please remember to always give mama tight squeezes and smooches no matter how big you get!”
