Why ‘Elsbeth’ Mentioned Prince Harry, Meghan Markle in Relation to a Funeral

Elsbeth found a new and surprising way to bring up Prince Harry and Meghan Markle — but this time in connection to a funeral.

During the Thursday, April 10, episode of the hit CBS series, Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) investigated the owner of an elite funeral home, Arthur Greene Jr. (David Alan Grier), who appeared to be involved in his nephew’s murder. The investigation overlapped with a burial service for a high-profile public figure, which meant Elsbeth ran into a photographer outside of the historic funeral home.

“Are you hoping to take pictures of the senator’s family?” Elsbeth asked, to which the photographer responded, “Family? No. Friends? Yes. Rumor has it, Harry and Meghan are going to be here. A good shot of them will make my whole year.”

Elsbeth wished the photographer “good luck” before reuniting with him later in the episode. This time, the royals weren’t mentioned because the photographer informed Elsbeth he was leaving after the “family decided to cremate instead.”

ICYMI, Elsbeth has previously mentioned the Duchess of Sussex, 43. A January episode followed Elsbeth’s investigation into a holistic wellness center after a patient was found dead in his car. Elsbeth immediately got a bad feeling about the facility’s founder (Eric McCormack) after getting the case assignment from Captain Wagner (Wendell Pierce).

“In the meantime, I need you on a case. A young man, Cole Campbell, was found deceased on the highway. His car ran off the road,” Captain Wagner said. “The last place he was seen was some fancy spa where celebrities and the royals go to.”

Wagner poked fun at the wellness center, adding, “The global press was already trying to frame Meghan Markle, and she wasn’t even there!”

Before his lead role on the quirky procedural, Pierce, 61, played Meghan’s onscreen dad in Suits, which ran from 2011 to 2019. Meghan filmed her final scene for Suits in 2017 amid her engagement to Harry, 40. Meghan later departed the series, moved to the U.K. and married the Duke of Sussex in 2018.

“It was the last night of working and I said, ‘Meghan, your life is going to change, and you’re going to be in a bubble, but just always remember, no matter what, I’m your friend, you have lots of friends,'” he recalled on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? in March 2024. “‘We’re always thinking about you, we’ll always be there for you. And you know, no matter where you are, always know you have a friend in me.'”

Harry and Meghan’s time in the U.K. was full of ups and downs and the couple made headlines in 2020 when they announced that they were stepping back from their duties as working members of the royal family. Harry and Meghan confirmed in February 2021 that they would not return to their senior roles and instead moved to California with son Prince Archie, now 5, and daughter Princess Lilibet, now 3.

While Harry and Meghan were only mentioned on Elsbeth in passing, other celebrities have made onscreen cameos. Jane Krakowski, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Blair Underwood, Keegan-Michael Key, Laura Benanti and Vanessa Williams are just some of the stars who have played fictional roles since Elsbeth premiered in 2024.

Elsbeth airs on CBS Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

Jack Wagner Returns to 'The Bold and the Beautiful' Amid Brooke, Ridge Split

Jack Wagner is all set to reprise his popular Bold and the Beautiful character — more than two decades after he first joined the long-running soap.

The actor, 65, will return as Nick Marone in scenes set to air from mid June, Deadline reported on Thursday, April 10. The outlet reported that Wagner is already back on set and kicked off filming on Thursday, April 10.

Wagner played Nick on The Bold and the Beautiful from 2003 to 2012 and last made an appearance on the show in 2022 for the soap’s 35th anniversary special.

The character’s upcoming return comes just as fan favorite couple Brooke Logan (played by Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) long term on-again, off-again relationship is falling apart. This time, it could be over for good.

Jack Wagner Says Women Are Still 'Overwhelmed' When They See Him in Public

Nick was previously romantically linked to Brooke during his time on the show. His unexpected arrival to Los Angeles this time around could be a chance for Brooke to move on from Ridge and reignite an old romance.

His return could also spell trouble for Ridge, who he has had his ups and downs with over the years. Nick was at times an ally to Ridge but his romantic pursuits with Brooke often caused tension.

Wagner currently stars on the Hallmark Channel’s When Calls The Heart and recently name-dropped Lang as he credited his scene partners as being the driving forces behind the success of most of the shows he’s worked on throughout his career.

“I think the success of [When Calls the Heart] has to do with Erin Krakow, our lead actress. I’ve always felt that way about any show that I’ve been on,” Wagner explained to Us. “It was Heather [Locklear] from Melrose, it was Bold and the Beautiful with Katherine Kelly Lang.”

The Bold and the Beautiful premiered in 1987 and since then has followed the ongoing drama surrounding the Forrester family and the Logan family. The families have endured conflict across several generations — with the characters of Brooke and Ridge embroiled in much of the drama and sizzling story lines over the years. Lang has played Brooke since the first season debuted in the 1980s.

Jack Wagner Gives an Update on His Relationship With Ex Heather Locklear

Speaking to Us Weekly last month, actress Heather Tom, who has played Katie Lang since 2007, touched on the family’s enduring legacy that still resonates with fans.

“It’s Romeo and Juliet, right? House divided. The characters have such histories,” Tom, 49, told Us. “You have decades and decades and decades of history to be played and that’s one of the most unique things about our genre.”

Blake Lively Accuses Justin Baldoni of ‘Scorched Earth’ Legal Tactics

Blake Lively’s legal team has accused Justin Baldoni’s side of using “scorched earth litigation” to prevent people speaking out against alleged sexual harassment perpetrators.

Esra Hudson and Mike Gottlieb, lawyers for Lively, shared a statement with Us Weekly on Thursday, April 10, accusing Baldoni of attempting to “tear down” laws that protect accusers.

“Mr. Baldoni has gone from monetizing a brand devoted to believing and supporting women, to leading the charge to tear down the very law that protects women who come forward about sexual assault, harassment and discrimination.” the statement to Us reads. “California’s sexual harassment privilege, AB 933, was enacted to stop perpetrators of sexual harassment from abusing defamation lawsuits to sue their accusers into oblivion.”

The legal back and forth between Lively and Baldoni, who worked together on It Ends With Us, began in December 2024 when Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and conducting a “smear campaign” against her. The same month, Baldoni, 41, launched separate lawsuits against The New York Times, who reported the allegations, and Lively, 37, alleging defamation among other claims. (All parties involved have vehemently denied all allegations against them.)

Blake Lively Officially Files Lawsuit Against ‘It Ends With Us’ Director Justin Baldoni 

In Thursday’s statement, Hudson and Gottlieb added that Baldoni’s team’s legal tactics sent a “chilling message.”

“The chilling message scorched earth litigation sends to victims is stay silent or be destroyed,” the statement reads. “As demonstrated in the reply brief Ms. Lively filed today, the Wayfarer Parties’ attempt to slap Ms. Lively with a retaliatory lawsuit for her decision to speak out against the sexual harassment she experienced on set has not only failed miserably but exposes them to substantial economic damages. Ms. Lively will continue to show all victims that they are not alone, that they do not have to stay silent, and that the law is on their side.”

Lively’s team filed a reply brief on Thursday, April 10 as they attempt to have the lawsuit against the actress dismissed, claiming in documents seen by Us Weekly that “Wayfarer Parties have tied themselves in knots trying to state a defamation claim against Ms. Lively that is not barred by the statute of limitations or wholly contained within her Legal Complaints, which they concede cannot form the basis of any actionable claims.”

Late last month, Lively’s lawyers filed the motion to dismiss while calling Baldoni’s claims “vengeful and rambling” and an abuse of the legal system. The paperwork argued that the California Civil Code Section 47.1 prohibits retaliatory lawsuits tied to public disclosures of sexual harassment.

Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, responded to the motion on Thursday, April 3, by defending Baldoni’s complaint, which allegedly provides details of “Lively’s calculated efforts first to extort and manipulate” Baldoni and his Wayfarer Studios production team “into ceding total control over the film It Ends with Us and then to defame and scapegoat them when her plan backfired.”

Blake Lively's Lawyers Denounce 'More Attacks' From Justin Baldoni

“Ms. Lively and her circle of Hollywood elites cannot prevent my clients from exercising their constitutional right to petition the court to clear their names from her false and harmful claims,” read Freedman’s statement on April 3. “What Ms. Lively is attempting to do is to set a dangerous precedent by barring the courthouse doors to my clients and punishing them for having their day in court, a right protected by the First Amendment.”

The response continued: “This right protects not only Mr. Baldoni and the Wayfarer parties in this particular case, but all Americans in the future who have false accusations levied against them and seek relief from our justice system. This must stop here, and we will continue to fight against this blatant attempt to block access to the court system and to weaken our nation’s Constitution to serve those who are in the position of power.”

Is Joshua Jackson the Father of Phillipa Soo's Baby on 'Doctor Odyssey'?

Doctor Odyssey finally answered the paternity question we have all been waiting for — is the father of Phillipa Soo‘s baby Joshua Jackson or Sean Teale?

During the Thursday, April 10, episode of the hit ABC series, Max (Jackson) and Tristan (Teale) gave samples so Avery (Soo) could determine who was the dad to her unborn child. The answer? No one. Avery found out she was never pregnant and accidentally received a false positive due to a cyst, which made her think she was expecting a baby for weeks.

Doctor Odyssey had Us on the edge of our seats since the medical drama introduced a threesome between Avery, Max and Tristan earlier this season that escalated into a condom breaking — and a pregnancy. (The show followed that up with Captain Massey (Don Johnson) and Heather (Shania Twain) reconnecting during Cougar Week, which also led to a pregnancy.)

“[Creator] Ryan [Murphy]‘s imagination is prolific and bizarre in its ability to hold [space] for the absolutely grotesque and absurd — and then there are his lighter and happier shows. All of that being inside of one man’s imagination is amazing,” Jackson, 46, exclusively told Us Weekly in March. “I will say that for myself, I have wanted to work for Ryan for quite a long time.”

Jackson praised Murphy for providing a platform for actors to explore more fun and light-hearted storytelling, adding, “Ryan’s word was sparkle. He said, ‘Make sure that my show sparkles.’ And we have tried to make sure that this show sparkles as much as possible and just hope that the joy that we feel in performing it and doing it all together is what comes across while you’re watching it.”

After being involved in quite a different love triangle on Dawson’s Creek, Jackson was proud to push boundaries on Doctor Odyssey.

“Well [our characters] didn’t have sex on Dawson’s Creek,” he said to Us with a smile. “I feel like Ryan’s approach to this is a much more adult approach than when I’ve done this on previous shows. It was a ballsy thing to do to not just have the triangle be consummated but to have them consummated together. I have to say [that is] one of the things I’m most proud of [with] us this year.”

Jackson broke down the dynamic between Max, Tristan and Avery.

“There are still certain limitations and restrictions to doing something on network television because of the standards and practice issues that you deal with. [We were] able to take something that is very challenging and daring and play inside of the box of network TV,” Jackson told Us. “We got to explore what you can and cannot show and still created a scene that I think is very sexy and challenging.”

He continued: “It was within the boundaries of what we are allowed to do [and] that is one of the high watermarks of what we were able to achieve from directorial to writing to acting. Everybody came together to make something that you really hadn’t seen before — particularly on network TV. I think we did a pretty good job with that.”

Doctor Odyssey airs on ABC Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and is available to stream on Hulu.

Shawn Hatosy Breaks Down Dr. Abbot's Surprising ‘The Pitt’ Finale Reveal

Nothing prepared The Pitt fans for Dr. Jack Abbot’s season 1 finale reveal.

Warning: Spoilers for The Pitt season 1 finale, “9:00 P.M.,” below.

The Thursday, April 10, episode of HBO’s hit medical drama brought an end to Dr. Robby’s (Noah Wyle) nightmarish 15-hour shift in the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital emergency room. It also offered a hint at combat veteran Dr. Abbot’s (Shawn Hatosy) past by revealing him to be a single-leg amputee.

“I knew from the beginning,” Hatosy, 49, told Us Weekly exclusively about his character’s reveal. “This revelation at the end is a big surprise to many of our characters who just met Abbot that day. But it’s also a big surprise for the audience.”

Hatosy said that the reveal did exactly what it was intended.

“Him being a single leg amputee doesn’t define him,” the actor declared. “What defines him is not this injury, it’s his strength, it’s his presence, it’s his talent in emergency medicine. He’s the guy that you want in the room when things are failing.”

Hatosy further explained that there was a discussion before filming about having Abbot “work with some kind of physical attribute” before filming — however, they decided against it.

“We felt that would maybe tip it in a certain way,” he said. “I definitely had it in my mind when I had to move fast. I tried to keep it a secret, without going too fast. But it’s amazing with these prosthetics, how mobile you can be now with the technology. It’s incredible, really.”

Fans were introduced to Dr. Abbot during The Pitt’s series premiere back in January when Dr. Robby found him “literally on the roof about to jump” off the hospital. While Abbot leaves work in a “very emotional place” following his night shift, the doctor returns when a mass shooting at the fictional PittFest music festival contributes to a large number of casualties.

“When Abbot returns, he says, ‘I was listening to my police scanner’ and shows up with a go bag,” Hatosy tells Us, explaining how that one line tells viewers exactly who Abbot is — and why he’s become a fan favorite among viewers.

“I think it’s just that his flaws are human and relatable. Despite them, or maybe because of them, people respect him, and they trust him. They want him in the room when everything’s failing.”

“I’ve never experienced a character that has received this much attention, who’s been universally liked,” Hatosy added. “I’ve carved out a lot of characters over the years.”

All episodes of The Pitt season 1 are now streaming via Max.

What to Know About ‘The Pitt’ Season 2: From Possible Cast Exits to Spinoffs

The Pitt has been renewed for a second season — but what possible changes could the Max series go through?

The medical drama, which premiered in January 2025, highlighted the highs and lows of working in emergency medicine with an unconventional approach — 15 episodes that showcase 15 hours of one shift.

The Pitt ultimately turned into weekly appointment viewing, which marked Noah Wyle‘s second successful medical series. ER, which aired from 1994 to 2009, followed the inner life of an emergency room in a fictionalized version of Chicago’s real Cook County Hospital. Wyle starred alongside George Clooney, Julianna Marguiles, Anthony Edwards, Eriq La Salle and Sherry Stringfield (and later John Stamos, Mekhi Pfifer and Linda Cardellini).

More than a decade after ER ended, Wyle returned as the star and executive producer of The Pitt. One month after its debut, The Pitt won over fans and critics alike and earned itself a second season.

It hasn’t been confirmed whether the same cast will return for season 2 but the day shift was made up of Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), Dr. Collins (Tracy Ifeachor), Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball), Dana (Katherine LaNasa), Dr. Moha (Supriya Ganesh), Dr. Cassie McKay (Fiona Dourif), Dr. King (Taylor Dearden), Dr. Santos (Isa Briones), Whitaker (Gerran Howell) and Javadi (Shabana Azeez).

There is also the night shift to consider including Dr. Abbot (Shawn Hatosy), Dr. Shen (Ken Kirby) and Dr. Ellis (Ayesha Harris).

Speaking of the night shift, fans were immediately intrigued by the batch of new characters who work overnight. If season 2 returns to following the day shift, is there a chance their replacements could get their own show?

“I want to keep going with him as far as they want to go. I enjoy the show so much,” Hatosy told Us in April 2025 about expanding the universe. “It’s like a theater troupe. It’s a wonderful thing to collaborate on, and sky’s the limit. If they wanna make a [The] Pitt: Night Shift, I am all in, wholeheartedly.”

What Does the Cast Know About The Pitt’s Future?

“As we were shooting, we asked them [about the season 2 setup] and they said, ‘We have no idea what we’re going to do yet.’ They are very good at what they do,” Dearden told Us in February 2025. “We have no information but it would be interesting to see the next day, I don’t think it’s going to be pick up right there [though].”

Which Story Lines Still Need to Be Addressed in Season 2?

The major opened-ended arc belongs to Ball’s character Langdon. The senior resident originally was dismissed by Robby after the senior attending was tipped off about Langdon stealing opioids from patients to treat his own drug addiction. Langdon returned during the mass shooting to assist but ended on bad terms with Robby — and refused to get help.

During the season 1 finale, which aired in April 2025, Dr. Robby and the rest of the day shift concluded their cases before heading out for the night. He was still dealing with the fallout of not being able to save his ex-girlfriend’s son Jake’s girlfriend. Collins was recovering from a miscarriage, Mohan was questioning her work and life balance, McKay was nearly arrested and more.

'The Pitt' Season 1 Ending Explained: How Did the Shift End? Who Might Leave?

The Pitt finale didn’t just wrap up the first shift — it also hinted at multiple possible cast exits.

During the Thursday, April 10, episode of the hit Max series, Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) and the rest of the day shift concluded their cases before heading out for the night. Robby was still struggling with the weight of the mass shooting as Dana (Katherine LaNasa) and Abbot (Shawn Hatosy) supported him.

The hospital staff wrapped up but several characters including Dana and Javadi’s (Shabana Azeez) respective futures at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital remained unclear. The Pitt, which premiered in January, follows a group of employees at a fictional Pittsburgh hospital’s ER working a single 15-hour shift.

One month after its debut, the show was renewed for a second season, which is expected to air in January 2026. The next installment will be set months later during July 4th weekend. Before season 1 came to an end, star Isa Briones applauded The Pitt for its medical accuracy.

Noah Wyle Breaks His Silence About ‘ER’ Lawsuit Over ‘The Pitt’

“The 10 of us doctors all got medical bootcamp for two weeks before we started filming, which was so helpful,” Briones, 26, exclusively told Us Weekly in February. “On set we always have [technical advisor] Dr. Joe Sachs — he’s there all the time.”

She added: “[They] cycle through every episode. So a different doctor is assigned to every episode and they handle choreographing all of the big trauma scenes — anything that involves medical choreography. But the bootcamp was so helpful because it’s not like they can teach us how to be a doctor in two weeks, obviously. But it gave us the tools and gave us the language of the right questions to ask when we are actually choreographing something like that.”

The last case of Santos’ (Isa Briones) shift gave her a chance to work on her bedside manner. After suspecting that a guy tried to die by suicide, she offered him support and opened up about her own issues with mental health, which inspired him to get help.

Santos also discovered a secret about Whitaker (Gerran Howell) that led to her getting a roommate.

Eric Dane Announces He Has Been Diagnosed With ALS

Eric Dane has been diagnosed with ALS.

“I have been diagnosed with ALS,” the Grey’s Anatomy alum, 52, said in a statement to People on Thursday, April 10. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.”

Dane shares daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, with wife Rebecca Gayheart. In addition to expressing his gratitude for his loved ones, Dane also shared his appreciation for his work on Euphoria, which will start filming for season three following its extended hiatus.

“I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,” the statement continued. “I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”

Rebecca Gayheart Calls Off Divorce From Eric Dane 7 Years After Split

ALS stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The condition, which is also referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, per the Mayo Clinic. It causes loss of muscle control and gets worse over time. There is no cure.

The news of Dane’s condition comes nearly one month after Gayheart, 53, filed to dismiss her divorce from the actor. Dane and Gayheart tied the knot in 2004. In 2018, Gayheart filed for divorce from Dane after 14 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

While Gayheart and Dane did not reach a divorce settlement within that seven-year span, the pair have put their main focus on being amicable coparents for their kids.

One day before news broke about Dane’s condition, Gayheart addressed where the pair stood after calling off the divorce.

Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart’s Daughter Billie Is Her Mom’s Mini-Me

“We are best of friends. We are really close. We are great coparents,” she told E! News on Wednesday, April 9. “We really figured out the formula to staying a family and I think our kids are benefiting greatly from it and we are as well.”

Despite their ups and downs, Gayheart applauded what she and Dane have accomplished over the years.

“I think it’s important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It’s just a season. It wasn’t a failure. It was a huge success,” she continued. “We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years and we had two beautiful kids so I think that’s a successful relationship, and that’s how we look at it.”

John Stamos Calls Wife the ‘Real Hero’ While Celebrating Son’s 7th Birthday

John Stamos and his wife, Caitlin McHugh Stamos, are celebrating their only child’s 7th birthday.

In a poignant message shared via Instagram on Thursday, April 10, the Fuller House alum, 61, wished son Billy a happy birthday before sharing a message to the “real hero of April 10,” Caitlin.

“Today our Billy boy turns 7. SEVEN. A magical, chaotic, hilarious, action-packed, deep-feeling, big-hearted SEVEN,” John wrote.

The actor continued wife praise for his wifte, adding, “While it’s a day to celebrate the joy he brings into the world (and man, does he ever), it’s also a day to celebrate someone else: His mom. Caitlin.”

John Stamos’ Wife Jokes He ‘Went Through Everyone Else’ Before Marriage

As John explained, it was Caitlin, 38, who “did all the work” seven years ago when bringing Billy into the world.

“The real work. The growing-a-whole-human-inside-her-body work,” he said. “The nine months of sacrifice, nausea, back pain, no-sleep, all-love work. The labor that turned her body inside out and her heart wide open. The recovery, the healing, the nursing, the nights without sleep, the years without rest. So yes, today we celebrate Billy and the magical little human he is becoming. But this day — this exact day — will always be hers, too,” John wrote alongside a photo from when Caitlin was pregnant with Billy. “A reminder of her strength, her love, and everything she gave to bring him into this world.”

He concluded, “We see you, Caitlin. And we love you.”

Fans in the comments section applauded the actor’s message to his son and his wife.

“Well said. Thank you from all the Moms. That do all the work,” a third commenter added. “Year after year !!! ❤❤❤❤ happily.”

“Happiest seventh bday to billy ♡🥹🎉 (thank you caitlinnnnn !!!/the caption is so utterly beautiful),” noted another.

John Stamos Got to Be ‘Arm Candy’ at Wife Caitlin McHugh’s Movie Premiere

Rosie O'Donnell's Daughter Files to Change Her Name After Multiple Arrests

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea O’Donnell has filed to change her name following her multiple arrests last year.

Chelsea, 27, submitted paperwork to legally change her name according to court records viewed by Us Weekly on Thursday, April 10. The request was made in late January and a hearing is scheduled for May of this year.

The Daily Mail was first to break the news. The outlet reported that Chelsea wants to change her last name back to her birth mother’s maiden name, which is Neuens. (Rosie adopted Chelsea as a baby in 1997.)

Us has reached out to Rosie for comment.

Rosie O'Donnell and Daughter Chelsea O'Donnell's Relationship Ups and Downs

Rosie, 63, and Chelsea have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years. The actress recently shared a lengthy poem via her Substack page that was titled “My Daughter Chelsea.”

“She wants her privacy / I am her mom / The story is out there / People judge and ask / Why didn’t u try more … / U should have done something else … / I would never have … / if she were mine,” the poem read.

The piece also mentioned that Chelsea had two additional mother figures, her birth mother and Rosie’s ex-wife, Kelli Carpenter.

“Every adoption story is complicated / Nuance and subtext / A primal wound / Sometimes doesn’t heal / Her story is her own to tell / And now — almost 28 years old / She wants a private life / She deserves one too,” the poem continued.

Rosie also referred to Chelsea’s legal trouble and her daughter’s struggles with substance abuse. (Chelsea was arrested three times in 2024 on multiple felony charges, including drug possession. In December 2024, Chelsea was ordered to maintain her sobriety while out on bail.)

“Her journey / Made public by a series of bad decisions / On everyone’s part / When she was a young teen,” Rosie’s piece reads. “Some things are hard to come back from / Why don’t u talk about her more / How can I / What would I say.”

Rosie O'Donnell Addresses Daughter Chelsea’s 3rd Arrest

Rosie — who is also mom to Parker, 29, Blake, 25, Vivienne, 22, and Clay, 12 — shared that Chelsea wanted to change her last name to “her birth mom’s maiden name.” While the decision doesn’t “make sense” to Rosie, she vowed to remain supportive of her daughter.

“It’s not about me / I am here for her — She’s not here for me / A wise woman once said / A few months ago / A judge in Wisconsin / Told her he was proud of her / She had completed treatment,” she penned.

Rosie also applauded Chelsea for earning her high school diploma and being on the path toward recovery. The League of Our Own star revealed that Chelsea gave her permission to publicly share the poem and included a photo of her daughter smiling while in court.

Matthew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker Enjoy Family Night With Daughters

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have welcomed three kids since tying the knot in 1997.

The couple welcomed their son, James, five years into their marriage, followed by twin daughters, Marion and Tabitha, in 2009. While the duo tend to keep their family life private, Parker exclusively opened up about her kids’ interests with Us Weekly in April 2018.

“My son is in high school and has a wonderful group of friends,” she shared at the time. “He plays soccer and piano. And the girls are happy and enjoying life and learning. They’re really well.”

Broderick chimed in, adding, “Our kids are so smart you don’t need to do anything [to help with homework.] They’re like little computers.”

The following year, Parker exclusively told Us how she and Broderick keep their marriage “strong” while raising children together.

“We don’t talk about it,” the And Just Like That star said, calling their relationship “nice and private.” She added, “We’ve grown. We have a family, we have children, we have friends that have passed away, we have relationships.”

Xxx, mama."

Val Kilmer's Cause of Death Revealed

Val Kilmer’s official cause of death has been revealed.

According to a death certificate released by the Los Angeles County Department of Health and obtained by TMZ on Thursday, April 10, Kilmer’s immediate cause of death has been confirmed as pneumonia.

Underlying causes listed on the death certificate include acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, chronic respiratory failure and squamous cell carcinoma of the base of the tongue.

According to the certificate, malnutrition and a tracheocutaneous fistula — often a complication of tracheostomy — were also contributing factors. He was 65.

The ‘Top Gun’ Franchise Cast’s Honest Quotes About Working With Val Kilmer

TMZ reported that Kilmer was cremated on Monday, April 7, or a week after his death.

Earlier this month, news broke that the Top Gun actor reportedly died of pneumonia in Los Angeles, according to The New York Times who spoke with Kilmer’s daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, on April 1. (Kilmer is also survived by his son, Jack, whom he shares with ex-wife Joanne Whalley.)

Days later, his family released a statement confirming the actor’s death.

“Thank you for honoring our extraordinary father’s memory,” the Batman Forever star’s family said to People. “We are so proud of him and honored to see his legacy celebrated. At this time, we would like to grieve privately.”

Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2015 and was later featured in a July 2021 documentary about his life, titled Val. The project showed him requiring a breathing tube.

After a long career in Hollywood, the actor became best known for his performances in 1986’s Top Gun alongside Tom Cruise, in addition to portraying Jim Morrison in 1991’s The Doors and Batman in 1995’s Batman Forever.

Many costars were quick to pay tribute to Kilmer and share fond memories of the actor after his death.

“I’d like to honor a dear friend of mine, Val Kilmer, for a moment,” Cruise, 62, began during an appearance at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 3. “I can’t tell you how much I admired his work.”

Drew Barrymore also recalled working with Kilmer in Batman Forever.

“I was friends with Joel Schumacher, the director, who I thought of this morning because it was he and Val Kilmer that pulled me into Batman Forever,” she shared on an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. “And Val Kilmer was so nice to me. He was so nurturing and kind and safe, which was a very important thing for me.”

She added, “I was like, ‘Nobody wants anything from me, they want things for me,’ which I thought was really interesting.”

Porsha Williams Reflects on Kenya Moore’s ‘Despicable’ Actions on ‘RHOA’

Porsha Williams is getting real about the drama surrounding The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Days after viewers watched Kenya Moore exit the series due to an explicit photo scandal, Williams, 43, is sharing her thoughts on the messy situation.

“Each poster board that she showed — they could not show it on the show, which I’m so glad and thankful to Bravo for blurring it out and cutting out [the] majority of what despicable things Kenya said about Britt,” Williams claimed in a YouTube video posted Thursday, April 10. “I’m so glad they took it out.”

On the Sunday, April 6, episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Moore, 54, hosted the cast at the grand opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa business. During the event, the Bravo star unveiled explicit pictures of cast member Brittany Eady.

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

After the event, Bravo conducted an investigation and decided Moore could not film with the cast for the rest of the season.

“At this point, I wanted to love Kenya. I want to love Kenya,” Williams said. “I want to have a good relationship with Kenya. … I want her to meet me where we are. I just felt the whole cast felt like it was awful.”

To this day, Williams still has questions about the day in question such as, “What printing company printed this out?”

She also claimed that another costar may have played a part in the incident.

“One of these Housewives who is still on the show is the one who gave Kenya a big part of that nude information,” she alleged. “Who did all this research? Who did it besides the Housewife who gave you the footage? It was a lot.”

Williams remains hopeful that Moore and Eady, 37, can one day have a conversation. She also believes Eady is very “remorseful” about the controversial comments she made about guns.

“I don’t play them games!” Eady said in a previous episode after fighting with Moore. “I got whip, motherf***ing pistols, everything!”

Cynthia Bailey Says Kenya Moore's Actions on 'RHOA' Were 'Beneath Her’

At the end of the day, Williams said nobody can play the victim because they “both played a part.”

“I feel like there is a place where they can move on but that place has to be agreed upon by both of them,” she explained. “I feel like these two women can sit down and talk and say, ‘I hit you where your trauma was.’”

The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Bravo Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. Steam old episodes anytime via Peacock.

Luke Combs Describes His ‘Normal’ 2-Bedroom House for Wife and 2 Kids

Luke Combs is a three-time Grammy Award nominee and six-time CMA winner, but around his house, you’d never know it.

The “Lovin’ on You” singer recently gave fans a peek inside his personal life with his wife, Nicole, and their two kids, Tex, 2, and Beau, 20 months. In an appearance on “The MeatEater Podcast,” Combs, 35, explained that he wants his kids to grow up in as normal a home as possible.

“We live in a 2,000-square-foot house. It’s two bedrooms,” he said on the episode released Monday, April 7. “Me and my wife have a room and the boys share a room. We’re always close together, we’re always tight in there.”

It’s not just that Combs lives in a fairly ordinary home — he expects his kids to learn responsibility, just like anyone else.

Country Singer Luke Combs and Wife Nicole’s Sweetest Family Moments

“The living room is the playroom. All the kids’ toys are in there,” he continued. “We let them destroy it. But every night, ‘Alright, we’re all cleaning up now.’ Mom and dad are cleaning up, but to the extent that a one-and-a-half-year-old [can], he’ll get a block and bring it over. He might only pick up two things but my two-and-a-half-year-old now, he can actually make a 5 percent dent in the cleanup. But he understands.”

Luke Combs Describes His 2-Bedroom House for His Wife and 2 Kids: ‘My Life Is So Normal’

Combs added that when one of his kids spills their milk, he hands them a paper towel, and even if they can only soak up a tiny fraction of it —“We go back behind him and actually clean it up” — he wants them to understand the responsibility.

It may seem strange for someone who plays stadium concerts on the weekends to think of himself as a “stay-at-home parent” during the week, but that’s how he sees it.

Luke Combs and Wife Nicole Welcome 2nd Baby: 'Couldn't Love You More'

“I’m home four days a week, every week, full-time,” he said. “Sun up, sun down most days. Getting the kids up, changing diapers, doing baths, cooking dinners, cooking lunches, cooking breakfasts. That occupies a lot of my time but that’s what I want. I want my kids’ childhoods to feel as normal as they can given the very strange circumstances that it will ultimately become.”

Combs does what he can, but sometimes, the life of a country star just gets in the way. In June 2024, he opened up about missing Beau’s birth because he was touring in Australia.

“I’ll never forget the craziest day, probably, in my life — close to it,” he shared during an appearance on The Zane Lowe Show. “One of the best and one of the worst days in my life at the same time.”

“I probably woke up at around 8:00 a.m. or something like that, Australia time, and I had a text from my wife and it said, ‘I’m so sorry, I really tried to not have the baby while you’re gone,’” he added. “And God, dude, it sucked.”

Combs clarified that with the help of technology, he was able to see Beau from across the world, almost as soon as he was born.

Will Poulter Through the Years: Photos of the Actor's Onscreen Evolution

Will Poulter is no longer just the “kid with the eyebrows,” as the Internet has dubbed him in the past.

While Poulter has been acting since 2007, We’re the Millers (2013) made him a household name. Was it his prominent eyebrows? Was it his perfect rap while covering TLC’s “Waterfalls”? A combination of both? It doesn’t really matter because Poulter has been nabbing tons of roles since then.

“People are really nice about the movie,” Poulter told People in March 2025. “I’m always shocked at just how many people have seen the film. It’s really nice that people watch it and seem to enjoy it. I was certainly very lucky to be in it.”

Since then, Poulter has been cast in horror films (2019’s Midsommar), emotional roles (2021’s Dopesick) and even a Marvel movie (2023’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3).

Amy Duggar King Slams Trolls Claiming She Shared Husband’s Story for Money

After sharing details about her husband’s medical issues earlier this week, Amy Duggar King is speaking out against false accusations.

On Wednesday, April 9, Amy told People that her husband, Dillon King, has been diagnosed with a severe diaphragmatic rupture.

According to Amy, 38, a severe diaphragmatic rupture is “an extremely rare and dangerous condition that has caused vital organs, including his kidney and parts of his digestive system, to shift into his chest cavity.”

The wife and mom of one said it was “news no one ever expects to hear.”

After sharing details of Dillon’s health struggles with People, Amy took to her Instagram Story to share the link with her followers, encouraging them to read the article if they would like to know more about what Dillon, 37, is dealing with.

Amy Duggar Briefly Saw 'Angry' Anna Duggar After 'Shiny Happy People' Drama

As a result, Amy said she’s received several comments accusing her of making money from her husband’s health issues.

“Hey, everyone. OK, so I am just seeing a lot of comments based on what I was telling about my husband,” Amy began in a video. “People have got it so wrong.”

Amy continued by saying that as a result of the false accusation, she “just wanted to come on here and just share my heart for a second.”

 

“It is so sad to me how people think that I could stoop so low and to think that, like, if you click on the link to to read what Dillon’s diagnosis is, that I get paid. Oh, there’s money involved. There is absolutely zero money involved,” Amy clarified.

Amy defended her decision to share Dillon’s story with People because it’s a complex situation and a lot of people who read People will pray for Dillon.

“It’s just a long story, and I just said ‘see the link in bio’ so you know what it is,” Amy explained. “People are just so programmed or groomed to think that everything has to do with money and that there’s always someone looking for a handout. There is not anything like that involved.”

“It’s just a story that People magazine put out. And I am grateful for that, because there’s a lot of people who read that, that will that will pray for him, that will lift him up, that will encourage his heart, that will help us as a family, as far as just with encouraging words, that is all I’m asking from you guys,” she continued.

“Most of my followers, I think support me and they are genuine people, and that’s who I choose to be in every situation,” Amy noted before stressing that she “will always be honest” with her fans. “There’s just a lot going on, so I’m just asking for prayers and nothing else.”

In her conversation with People, Amy said that doctors discovered a 4-inch tear in Dillon’s diaphragm, adding that his right kidney, appendix, colon and small intestines have been “displaced.”

“Doctors have made it clear that this is not a quick fix,” Amy explained to People. “The risks are high, the procedures complex and the recovery uncertain. We are taking this one moment at a time, clinging to hope, prayer, and the wisdom of the medical teams who are now walking this road with us.”

As a result, Dillon remains hospitalized.

A frustrated Amy concluded her statement by saying, “I just think I need a hot tea.”

Summer House's Lexi Wood Discusses Ex Brooklyn Beckham

Summer House newbie Lexi Wood and ex Brooklyn Beckham haven’t communicated since her debut on the Bravo show.

When asked whether they had been in contact during the Wednesday, April 9, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Wood, 27, replied, “No and I like it that way. He has a whole life and I love that for him.”

Wood admitted that her relationship with Beckham — who tied the knot with Nicola Peltz in 2022 — was “longer than people think” and shared that she wants “nothing but the best for him.” She added, “He’s great and his family, yeah.”

The model remained tight-lipped on how long the pair were together, but narrowed down the timeframe.

“Was it, like, over a year?” host Andy Cohen asked, to which Wood replied, “Yeah.” After Cohen, 56, inquired whether the romance was more than two years, Wood responded, “No.”

Wood was linked to Beckham in 2018. Four years later, she went Instagram official with Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber’s son, Presley Gerber. E! News reported in 2022 that the pair split.

After Wood joined season 9 of Summer House, sparks flew between her and costar Jesse Solomon. As the pair began pursuing a romance, Solomon, 31, raised eyebrows for his behavior while Wood was away from the Hamptons for the weekend. While Solomon was caught flirting with costar Ciara Miller, he also got his toe sucked by a woman costar Imrul Hassan had over for a threesome.

When asked for her thoughts on the toe-sucking of it all, Wood shared that she thinks more may have happened behind closed doors.

“I don’t believe it was only a toe, now seeing [the episode],” she said, adding that she has noticed “red flags” after watching the show.

As the season aired, Solomon was recently photographed playfully holding hands with Paige DeSorbo while visiting West Wilson’s Complex office with fellow costars. (DeSorbo, 32, announced her split from Southern Charm’s Craig Conover last year.)

In one image, Solomon and DeSorbo stood next to each other, while in another photo, a zoomed-in shot emphasized their hand-holding. DeSorbo teased in the comments section, “This is how rumors start.”

“Thanks for having us West,” Solomon captioned the Instagram post. “Also, Paige and I are ready to take our relationship public. Love you my sweet petunia.”

In response to the post, Wood told Cohen on Wednesday, “I think Jesse should do whatever Jesse wants to do.”

Summer House airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Taylor Armstrong Breaks Down 'RHOBH' Timeline of Abuse From Late Ex Russell

Taylor Armstrong sat down for a rare tell-all about her abusive marriage to late husband Russell Armstrong, the timeline of it being filmed on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and more.

During the newest installment of Investigation Discovery’s Hollywood Demons, which premieres on Monday, April 14, Taylor addressed burning questions about her personal life — including the allegedly suspicious circumstances surrounding Russell’s death.

“It is a really hard question when I have people ask why I stayed [with him]. It is so complicated and statistically most domestic violence victims return seven times before they find the courage to leave,” Taylor explained in the special. “I questioned myself a lot, asking, ‘Am I being abused?'”

Taylor admitted it “just felt cringey” thinking she was a victim of domestic abuse, “Because I would think to myself that I really do have it all.”

'Real Housewives' Tragedies: The Saddest and Most Shocking Deaths

The reality TV star made her Bravo debut as a series regular on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills from 2010 to 2013 before making guest appearances throughout the years. During her time on RHOBH, viewers saw the ups and downs in Taylor’s marriage to Russell. In July 2011, Taylor filed for divorce, citing physical and verbal abuse. One month later, Russell died by suicide.

Taylor, who shared daughter Kennedy with Russell, later moved on with now-husband John Bluher. The couple tied the knot in 2014 and Taylor has since praised Bluher for changing her view on marriage.

“That’s why I believe I’m married now because I would’ve never trusted anyone again [after my first marriage],” she exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2022 while comparing her marriages. “After all the lies that were built in my previous relationship, having someone that just stood by me — even though we couldn’t stand each other for a while — was the reason that I trust him so much, and we became best friends.”

Taylor recalled how she was initially unsure about dating again after her split from Russell. “I just felt so betrayed,” she told Us. “I think if it wouldn’t have been someone that I trust so much because of everything I went through, I don’t think I would’ve ever been in a relationship again.”

Keep scrolling for the biggest bombshells about Taylor and Russell’s marriage:

Her Difficult Childhood

“My earliest childhood memory is surrounded by trauma,” Taylor revealed. “Because I had domestic violence in my house as a child from a very young age.”

Because of her past, Taylor changed her birth name of Shana Hughes to Shana Taylor as a reference to her stepfather. She then moved Taylor forward and added Ford as her last name, which took inspiration from her favorite designer Tom Ford.

Early Days With Russell

After meeting at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, Taylor and Russell had a “whirlwind” romance where they moved in together “within a couple of months.” They got “married that same year” but Taylor admitted she didn’t remember him asking her to tie the knot.

“I was pregnant when we got married and he was already a dad,” she said about Russell’s sons from a previous relationship. “Perhaps that gave me confidence in the kind of person I thought he was at his core. He stuck around with his kids when my dad didn’t. It felt right at the time but in retrospect there were all kinds of red flags.”

When it came to money, Taylor recalled her initial introduction to his finances.

“I never saw him even flinch over money,” she noted. “I don’t remember cooking once because we went out every single night.”

Feeling Controlled

“I think a majority of people had no idea what was going on behind the scenes,” she explained about the “surveillance” that started with her finding a tape recorder. “My housekeeper would find recording devices all the time. It got to the point where I assumed I was being recorded all the time. I always assumed he was listening.”

Taylor referenced a specific example of abuse when she cooked pizza for his sons.

“He came in the house, grabbed me by the throat and put me up against the wall,” she recalled about how Russell “threatened to kill” her for giving his kids pizza with no vegetables.

Once the couple joined RHOBH, Taylor was concerned Russell’s abuse would become public.

“We had the cameras on and I was afraid he would explode in the car. I could see it and I could tell he would start to give me this look,” she explained. “And we were in a limo with cameras so I thought, ‘Let us get home before this happens.’ Because he could not control himself.”

Despite not being concerned about money, Russell allegedly started to use finances as a way of controlling her. “I had no access to cash and I had no access to bank accounts,” she mentioned. “So the financial control became a huge part in me not being able to leave.”

Friends Who Tried to Step In

Taylor and Russell’s friends attempted to help since some of them “were very aware of what was going on.” There was an instance when Taylor got offered help — only for Russell to catch wind of the comments.

“Russell was hiding around the side of the house and heard everything. He came flying in and he threw me in the pool before knocking all of the guy’s teeth out,” she claimed in the doc. “He jumped in the pool and was holding my head under the water. I thought he would drown me.”

“It was pretty well known that I had marital problems but I wasn’t ready for my abuse to be outed on television,” Taylor shared about the moment Camille Grammer revealed on screen that she was being abused. “I remember looking at the producer in just a blank stare thinking, ‘It is out,’ and I couldn’t put it back. Camille had outed the fact that I was abused. I was saying, ‘You have no idea what you have done to me. He has threatened to kill me before.'”

A Fight That Changed Everything

Before season 2 of RHOBH aired, Russell and Taylor got in an argument where he accused her of infidelity.

“He raised up, leaned over and punched me. He fractured my orbital floor,” she shared as a photo of her injury was shown. Taylor lied to the doctor that she got kicked in the face by her daughter but the medical professional doubted her version of events. “I knew the doctor didn’t believe that I was saying. Of course I couldn’t say anything.”

Taylor went through “reconstructive surgery” and subsequently filed for divorce.

Russell’s Shocking Death

Taylor and a friend found Russell dead after he didn’t show up for a divorce meeting.

“I ran into the street outside the house when all of a sudden I realized my daughter was in the car,” she recalled. “She asked, ‘Did my dad do something stupid?’

Sitting Down With Dr. Drew

The last part of the Hollywood Demons special featured Dr. Drew asking Taylor about the timeline of events leading to her divorce and Russell’s death.

“We were filming toward the end of the season. I had to not film because I had the eye surgery and after we filmed the finale. Everyone was very aware of what happened,” she said before explaining why she agreed to join a reality show while in an abusive relationship. “Maybe in a way I felt if the cameras were there, I would get the good version of him.”

She added: “I wish I would have been brave enough to leave earlier for her. And there’s shame for not being stronger.”

While discussing Russell’s death, Dr. Drew and Taylor questioned the circumstances around his passing. Days after Russell died, an associate of his named Alan Schram died by suicide. They were both part of an elite investor group so Dr. Drew and Taylor voiced theories of foul play, which the authorities never substantiated in their investigations.

A trial lawyer also spoke out about how he “effectively served” Russell for filing bad faith bankruptcy and misappropriating investor money in a lawsuit and within two days Russell died. Taylor offered more insight into the financial fallout, adding, “We had an offshore protection trust that he said had 12 million. They were all empty. There ended up being 30 plus bank accounts.”
