‘Mean’ Justin Bieber Once Told Hailey She'd Never Be on the Cover of ‘Vogue’

Mere hours after Hailey Bieber’s first solo Vogue cover dropped on Tuesday, May 20, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share a candid confession about a past argument with his wife over the magazine.

The “mean” comment stemmed from feeling “disrespected,” which Justin, 31, admitted he now deeply regrets.

“Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight,” Justin captioned a photo of Hailey’s cover via Instagram on Tuesday. He then dropped the bombshell: “I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. Yikes, I know, so mean.”

This admission, particularly given Hailey’s prominent career as a supermodel and this being her now-second Vogue cover since their marriage (including the March 2019 Vogue cover they shared), detailed this deeply personal moment in their relationship and the power dynamics.

Hailey Bieber Details 'Difficult' Postpartum Life Amid Justin Split Rumors

Justin went on to a “fleeting, yet powerful, urge to “get even” when feeling disrespected. “For some reason, because I felt so disrespected, I thought I gotta get even…” he wrote.

However, he quickly pivoted to a more evolved perspective, reflecting on the lessons learned as they’ve grown together. “I think as we mature, we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even, we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection,” he added.

The singer, who shares son Jack Blues, 8 months, with Hailey, ended his apology with words directed straight to his wife: “So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.”

This candid reflection from Justin provides a personal anecdote about their relationship and inadvertently underlines Hailey’s significant presence in the fashion world.

Hailey Bieber Through the Years: From Modeling to Marriage to Motherhood

Far from being absent from the pages of Vogue, Hailey has cemented her status as a top model and a style icon, appearing on numerous international covers for the esteemed publication.

In the new issue that came out Tuesday, she reflected on the arduous postpartum journey she experienced after giving birth to Jack in August 2024, including body dysmorphia and more. She also set the record straight on the headlines surrounding a potential rift in her marriage.

“It’s not real,” she told Vogue of most of what’s written about her. “And that’s the thing: I have a real life,” she continued. “My real life is that I get to wake up to my beautiful family and my son and my friends and I have people that know me and love me and I love them.”

Justin’s past prediction makes his “sadly mistaken” admission all the more, well, sad.

Jordon Hudson Has Told People She and Bill Belichick Are Engaged: Report

As debate about their relationship continues to swirl, Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick might be hearing wedding bells. 

In a story published Tuesday, May 20, in The New York Times, journalist Katherine Rosman reported that Hudson, 23, has ”told at least one person that she and Mr. Belichick are engaged to be married.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Hudson and Belichick, 73, for comment. 

Rosman traveled to four cities in two states to get a full view of Hudson, who went public with her relationship with Belichick in October 2024 after months of dating rumors. The couple reportedly met for the first time on a plane in 2021. 

A Timeline of Bill Belichick's Relationship With 24-Year-Old Jordon Hudson

The reporter visited Bridgewater and Provincetown, Massachusetts, two cities with specific ties to Hudson. 

Hudson’s family moved to Provincetown when she was in high school and she later attended Bridgewater State University, where she won a national collegiate championship in cheerleading in 2021. 

“We are not allowed to talk about her,” one member of the current Bridgewater cheer team reportedly said about Hudson. 

However, at the university’s graduation ceremony on Friday, May 16, commencement speaker Robert Hale Jr., the billionaire CEO of Granite Telecommunications, had no problem bringing up Hudson and her famous boyfriend. 

Held at Gillette Stadium, the home of the NFL’s New England Patriots, Hale joked that the students might be hoping for a more well-known speaker like current Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel, or “the old, old, old one, Belichick.”

Hale joked that Belichick has “very, very, very strong ties with very, very recent alumni,” which reportedly received a big laugh. 

Belichick coached the Patriots from 2000 to 2023, winning 6 Super Bowls. He was announced as the new head football coach at the University of North Carolina in December 2024. 

The Hudson-Belichick relationship has been under an even finer microscope since Belichick’s now-infamous interview on CBS Sunday Morning last month, during which Hudson interjected from off camera when Belichick was asked how the couple met. 

Weeks later, journalist Pablo Torre dropped an episode of his “Pablo Torre Finds Out” podcast dedicated to deep dive into Hudson and Belichick, which raised accusations that Hudson has been lying about her age and that she had been banned from football facilities at the University of North Carolina. 

Carolina Athletics issued a statement to Us Weekly on May 9, refuting Torre’s reporting.

Wildest Claims From Podcast Deep Dive Into Jordon Hudson and Bill Belichick

“While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities,” the statement read. “Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick’s personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University.”

Belichick has recently been on the promotional trail for his book, “The Art of Winning: Lesson From My Life in Football,” where he’s attempted to give more context for his relationship with Hudson. 

“She’s been through the whole process, she’s been very helpful to me,” Belichick said Friday, May 16, on Good Morning America. “She does the business things that don’t relate to North Carolina that come up in my life so I can concentrate on football, and that’s really what I want to do. You know, I acknowledged her in the book, she was very helpful on all that … and also, giving a perspective of the book from the business side. Sometimes I get a little football technical and she did a good job of keeping me on balance there.”

He added,  “We have a good personal relationship.”

Ariana Madix Gives Surprising Update About Friendship With Scheana

Ariana Madix‘s friendships with several of her Vanderpump Rules costars became fractured while filming season 11 — but is there anyone she has since reconciled with off screen?

Ariana, 39, was asked by Bustle who she is still friends with from the show, replying in her Monday, May 19, profile, “Katie [Maloney] and I talk every day. Not only is she a really great friend of mine, but we’re in business together.”

While Ariana also called Dayna Kathan one of her “best friends,” she had a different update on her bond with Scheana Shay. “Scheana and I will say hi every now and again,” she said,”It’s about to be her birthday, so we’ll check in.”

The Vanderpump Rules cast found themselves at odds while capturing the aftermath of Tom Sandoval‘s cheating scandal with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss and split from Ariana. Lala Kent and Scheana’s decisions to keep filming with Sandoval, 42, put them at odds with Ariana and Katie.

Ariana Madix Criticizes Scheana Shay for Sympathizing With Tom Sandoval

“I’m going to be real about Ariana. She coasts through every single f***ing season. And we are asking you to have one conversation with Tom Sandoval — the guy you shoved down our throats for so many years,” Lala, 34, said on an episode of the Vanderpump Rules After Show in May 2024. “That guy, who you still live with. We are asking you to have one conversation and you can’t do that?”

Lala later clarified that she didn’t have any regrets about her falling out with Ariana, which viewers caught a glimpse of during the season 11 reunion.

“It was hard this season. I was talking about things that we’ve all spoken about. And then when a camera comes up, everyone runs scared. I have Ariana, who I personally believe really forgot why she was catapulted into opportunity,” she claimed on a June 2024 episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast. “Again, [I’m] so happy for you, but let’s not forget where we come from. None of us have anything without Vanderpump Rules. What we built outside of it, we should be very proud of.”

As a result of Scheana’s close bond with Lala, she also drifted apart from Ariana. “We talk here and there. I think no matter what, Ariana and I are always going to have such a deep love for each other,” Scheana, 40, said on a March episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast. “I hope she reads my [upcoming] book.”

Scheana noted how her upcoming memoir, My Good Side, could offer clarity, adding, “Maybe has a better understanding for some of my actions over the past couple of years and understands a little more about my mental state and what I was going through. I write about everything up until a few months ago.”

Biggest 'Vanderpump Rules' Feuds Ever — and Where the Relationships Stand

Ariana was asked by Bustle about Scheana’s memoir — and whether it inspired her to write about her experiences.

“I would consider it, but I don’t know what the angle would be,” she noted. “I know that it’s hard to write a memoir, so congratulations to her for sure.”

The one-time besties won’t have a chance to hash out their issues on screen since Bravo picked VPR up for season 12 — but with an entirely new cast. Ariana, for her part, isn’t ruling out a reality TV return if it is very different from her time on Vanderpump Rules.

“It would have to be the right show, the right team, the right tone,” she added on Monday. “I would never want to do anything that ever resembles something like a Vanderpump Rules ever again.”

Selena Gomez Shares Her Natural Glam Routine While Teasing New Rare Products

Selena Gomez’s makeup routine is totally achievable at home.

Gomez, 32, took to Instagram on Monday, May 19, to share her updated glam routine while teasing upcoming Rare products. Gomez used the Rare Beauty Positive Light Under Eye Brightener to start her routine and dotted the product on her face. She then blended into her under eyes with a fluffy brush before going in with her Liquid Contour and bronzing up her cheeks and forehead.

Gomez then set her face with her True to Myself Tinted Pressed Talc-Free Finishing Powder before patting a bright pink blush into her cheeks.

The actress made her pout look juicy by lining it with her Kind Words Lip Liner. She then applied a touch of clear, sparkly lip gloss (which is not currently for sale) before showing off her final look.

Cassie's Mom Claims She Took Out $20K Loan to Pay Diddy Blackmail Demand

Cassie’s mother, Regina Ventura, took the witness stand in the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs on Tuesday, May 20, the week after her daughter spent four days testifying against the rapper.

During her testimony, Regina claimed that she took out a $20,000 home equity loan in order to satisfy a blackmail demand from Diddy, 55, in 2011. Regina alleged she sent him the money after he threatened to release sexually explicit videos of Cassie, 38, when she began dating Kid Cudi.

“I was physically sick,” Regina told Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson. “I did not understand it. The sex tape threw me. He was trying to hurt my daughter.”

Cassie told her mother about Diddy’s alleged abuse for the first time in December 2011, and Regina said on Tuesday that she took photos of her injuries because she wanted to establish a record. (Those photos were shown to the jury.)

Cassie Speaks Out Following Her Emotional Testimony in Diddy Trial

“She was bruised and I wanted to make sure we memorialize it,” Regina recalled. “I was scared for my daughter’s safety.”

After taking out the home equity loan, Regina wired the $20,000 to Diddy, but she said he returned it after four or five days.

She also noted she once called the police on Diddy after Cassie told her that Diddy had taken her phone. Regina said she had a “bitter argument” outside her daughter’s apartment building as she tried to get the phone back from the mogul while Cassie was inside.

“I was trying to hit him but I wasn’t successful,” Regina said, claiming that Diddy eventually gave the phone back but took Cassie’s car as he left.

After Regina finished her direct testimony, the defense declined to cross-examine her.

Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and has denied all the allegations against him.

“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 Says Hotel Video Shows Diddy Trying to Drag Her Back to a Freak Off

Cassie, who is eight and a half months pregnant, began four days of testimony on May 13. (She is expecting her third baby, a boy, with husband Alex Fine. The couple are already the parents of daughters Frankie, 5, and Sunny, 4.)

The “Me & U” singer shared numerous details about her relationship with Diddy, which lasted off and on from 2007 to 2018. She also discussed the 2016 incident where Diddy assaulted her at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, as captured on surveillance video published in edited form by CNN last May. The jury was shown a full, unedited version of the video in court.

Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura) mentioned her mother several times during her testimony, claiming that she hid Diddy’s alleged abuse from Regina because she was afraid to tell her the truth. At one point, Cassie was allegedly sequestered in a hotel room after being stomped on and beaten by Diddy. She told the jury that she wanted to see her mom as her visible wounds healed but claimed “it wouldn’t be safe” to leave.

“I understood Sean’s capabilities, his access to guns, the threats he made prior to that,” Cassie said on Wednesday, May 14. “I was privy.”

Cassie Comes Face to Face With Diddy in Courthouse Sketches From Trial

Cassie went on to say that her mother saw a blind item in the press referencing the alleged abuse and asked whether it was about her and Diddy. Instead of telling her what happened, Cassie denied it was about her.

“I didn’t tell my mom the truth because I was ashamed,” she recalled while tearing up. “I also didn’t want to put my mother in danger for knowing anything of that magnitude.”

Cassie eventually opened up to her mom about the alleged attacks but told her Diddy beat her for the first time in December 2011. (She previously claimed in her testimony that the first instance of abuse happened in 2007.) Cassie did not, however, tell her mom about Diddy’s alleged “freak off” parties.

“I couldn’t hurt her like that,” she told the court. “You can’t justify it to anyone. Especially not your mom.”

Inside 'DWTS' Couple Emma Slater and Alan Bersten's Loved-Up Trip to NYC

After dancing across the country on the Dancing With the Stars Live tour, Emma Slater and Alan Bersten spent some quality time together in New York City.

Slater, 36, cheered on Bersten, 30, as he competed in the 2025 RBC Brooklyn Half marathon on Saturday, May 17. “We did it!!!! My first half marathon! That was so hard! My official time was 1:38:43!” Bersten captioned Instagram snaps of himself posing for post-race pics with pal Danny Lawn and Slater. “Shout out to all these incredible runners. So proud of you @dannydlawn and I’m so happy @theemmaslater was here to support me!!”

Slater was a proud girlfriend at the event, even holding Bersten in her arms for a funny photo. Bersten posted another sweet photo of himself and Slater via Instagram the following day, writing, “My whole life people have always put me in a box, told me what I can and can’t do. And people have told me ‘I’m just a dancer’. I wanted to show everyone what I already know is true. That dancers are athletes too, and you truly can do anything you put your mind to!”

Slater shared the snaps of herself holding Bersten via her own Instagram on Saturday and wrote that she was “proud” of him.

Emma Slater Reveals Which 'DWTS' Cast Member She Misses The Most

Following some downtime, the pair attended The Outsiders musical on Broadway. The duo got to the theater just in time, as Slater quipped in a Monday, May 19, Snapchat video that they had “one minute until the show starts.”

She and Bersten also managed to snap a selfie together at the show, which she later shared via Snapchat. “Snap gets the good stuff,” she jokingly wrote alongside the pic. “Sshhhh don’t tell anyone.”

After seeing the Tony Award-winning show, Slater and Bersten topped off the night by grabbing a delicious meal, complete with cheesecake, mousse and profiteroles for dessert.

Slater and Bersten’s NYC trip marks one of their first major outings together since Us Weekly confirmed they were “hooking up” back in October 2024. “[The romance is] not new, it’s ongoing,” a source exclusively shared at the time.

Bersten previously sparked a showmance with his DWTS season 27 partner, Alexis Ren, in 2018, which they ended that same year. He was later linked to season 31 contestant Gabby Windey in 2023, though the pair never officially dated.

Slater, for her part, tied the knot with fellow DWTS pro Sasha Farber in 2018. They called it quits after four years of marriage in August 2022. Slater filed for divorce in February 2023, and the terms were finalized shortly after.

Last month, Slater and Bersten celebrated the end of the DWTS tour by sharing an onstage kiss during their final show in Illinois. Bersten reacted to the smooch going viral in an exclusive interview with Us, sharing, “We’re just enjoying life.”

He added, “It was an incredible tour and I’m sad that it came to an end. But also there are so many good moments.”

Jessica Biel Jokes Husband Justin Timberlake Is 1 of Her ‘Chosen Sisters’

Jessica Biel has a family of “chosen sisters” around her — and husband Justin Timberlake is included.

“I’m really lucky, because I have amazing groups of women kind of scattered throughout the country that have really been my rocks as I’ve grown up,” Biel, 43, shared during her In Style cover interview, published on Monday, May 19. “I would also consider my husband one of my chosen sisters. He’s also my best friend.”

She added: “All of them together have gotten me through my life. I don’t know how I would have survived life without them.”

Timberlake previously shared a similar sentiment about his wife, calling her “the single-handedly most significant person in my life,” during an interview in 2011. Biel married Timberlake the following year. Throughout their marriage, the couple have welcomed two kids: Silas, 10, and Phineas, 4.

“It really takes a village to raise any kid, let alone in a wild business like this where parents are traveling for long times for work,” Biel said elsewhere in the interview, admitting that “sometimes we do a good job” alternating between staying at home with their kids and working.

“We try to have one of us working full time, only one,” Biel said of her and Timberlake. “It doesn’t always happen, because the opportunities arise, and the timing is what it is. You just have to take advantage of it.”

Biel is set to star in the upcoming movie Matchbox, an opportunity that didn’t come at a great time. While she was on set, Timberlake was in the middle of his Forget Tomorrow World Tour.

“We had our incredible [travel] teachers and our incredible nanny, and our family helped out,” Biel said. “The kids are good, we’re good, it’s all positive; it’s just when you’re in the middle of it, you’re like, ‘What am I doing?’”

Biel said it’s “so hard” being a working mom, sharing the best advice she received which came from producing partner Michelle Purple.

“I don’t do it very well all the time,” she declared. “She said one thing to me a long time ago. She goes, ‘Listen, all you can do is: When you’re working, you’re 100-percent working, and when you’re home, you’re 100-percent home. Do not take a work call when you’re at home with the kids. If you do it half-ass, you’re not good at anything.’ That was a good piece of advice.”

Biel added: “I do feel like I’m often at the bottom of the totem pole, even though my husband is the best at trying to always help encourage me to take time for myself.”

Shemar Moore Breaks Silence on 'S.W.A.T' Spinoff Return Without the OG Cast

Shemar Moore broke his silence after announcing that he was starring in a S.W.A.T spinoff — without the rest of his original cast members.

Moore, 55, took to Instagram on Tuesday, May 20, to share a video where he acknowledged he could “catch some flack from the industry” with his decision to sign on to join S.W.A.T. Exiles with a new group of cast members after wrapping up season 8 with costars Jay Harrington, David Lim, Patrick St. Esprit, Anna Enger Ritch, Annie Ilonzeh and Niko Pepaj.

“Nobody likes change. I understand that. I get it 100 percent. But without change, you can’t grow. You can’t win without taking your lumps,” Moore explained. “It ain’t easy making it in the game of Hollywood. It ain’t. TV shows don’t last eight years anymore. The game has changed. But S.W.A.T. Exiles, baby! S.W.A.T. Exiles. Bigger, bolder. S.W.A.T. on steroids.”

Moore went on to compare making a show to playing football.

Which 'S.W.A.T.' Stars Are — And Aren't — Returning for Surprise Spinoff?

“I’m not saying I’m Tom Brady, but I’m the Tom Brady of S.W.A.T. That’s not arrogant. That’s not ego. It’s a fact. I’m the quarterback. I’m Shemar Moore AKA Hondo,” he continued. “But I had a squad. A strong squad. A family. A team. And I would be remiss If I didn’t say out loud to the world and to them — because I know they’re watching this — I love you. I respect you. I appreciate you.”

In the lengthy video, Moore called out his casemates, adding, “That’s my family for life, OK? But just like in sports, Tom Brady might be the quarterback, but people get traded. Tight ends get traded, the running back gets traded, the receivers get traded.”

SWAT Series Finale Explained After Cancellations
CBS

He continued: “But the team keeps on pushing with their quarterback, and I’m that guy. So proud, so grateful. I’m not going to apologize for nothing. Busted my ass for 31 years to do what I do, and I’m excited about the future.”

Before Sony Pictures Television picked S.W.A.T up for a spinoff, the show faced multiple cancellations at CBS. The CBS series premiered in 2017 and aired six seasons before it was picked up for a seventh and final season. CBS ultimately reversed that decision and S.W.A.T. returned for season 8. But the celebration didn’t last long — the network canceled the show for a second time in March.

The series finale aired on Friday, May 16, and just two days later Moore confirmed he would be headlining a follow-up series for Sony Television Pictures where his character “is pulled out of forced retirement to lead a last-chance experimental SWAT unit made up of untested, unpredictable young recruits,” according to the synopsis.

Which TV Shows Got Canceled Multiple Times Before the Decision Stuck?

S.W.A.T fans, however, were quick to point out in the comments section of Moore’s post that the rest of the cast from the CBS series wasn’t included. Most of Moore’s costars have yet to publicly acknowledge him expanding the S.W.A.T universe solo.

“I’m excited that S.W.A.T. gets to keep playing ball. I’m excited that the crew gets to put food on their table and money in their accounts, and go to soccer practice and put their kids through the right schools. Saving jobs, working here in L.A., keeping Hollywood in L.A. This is a big deal,” he continued on Tuesday. “Yeah, a little bit bittersweet in some ways — but man, at the end of the day, we got to be so proud. We got to be so proud because we did the damn thing. The world took notice. And the industry took notice.”

He concluded: “Shows get cancelled all the time, but S.W.A.T. just won’t die because y’all love S.W.A.T. You all love that crazy action. You love the stories. You love the brotherhood, the sisterhood, all of that. That’s who we are. That’s who S.W.A.T. is. Thrill ride with heart. So, on this day, we celebrate, but we pay homage to what got us there and to the people that got us there, and I will never forget. Always appreciate, and always show love.”

Brooks Nader Is Open to Dating Women After Gleb Savchenko Breakup

Brooks Nader is single and ready to mingle with a new man — or woman.

“Maybe it’s Mr., maybe it’s Mrs., I don’t even know. Who knows?” Nader, 28, shared with Entertainment Tonight in an interview published Friday, May 16. “My sister keeps telling me I gotta switch teams. She’s over me with the guys.”

Back in April, Us Weekly confirmed that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model had broken up with her former Dancing With the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko.

The breakup has continued to make headlines, with Savchenko, 41, claiming last month that he was completely caught off guard by the split.

Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader’s Relationship Timeline

“I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship,” the Dancing With the Stars pro told Us Weekly in a statement on April 7. “The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6th, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied.”

While Nader claims everything will be revealed on her upcoming reality show titled Love Thy Nader, she isn’t focused on immediately jumping into the dating pool again.

“I’m freshly single. It’s been maybe three weeks,” she shared with Entertainment Tonight. “I haven’t counted. … I’m not looking for anything in particular. I’m just rockin’ with work.”

She’s also keeping an open mind about what the future could hold. Although she was previously married to Billy Haire from 2019 to 2024, the model assures fans she’s not in a rush to find her forever person.

“We’ll see what happens,” she shared. “I’m open to whatevs, but not looking for any kind of partner right now.”

She is, however, hoping her sisters stop talking about her personal life. Earlier this month, Grace Ann Nader appeared on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast and spilled the tea about her sister’s DWTS hookup with Savchenko.

“Every time I visited Brooks’ trailer — [it] was shaking every single time,” Grace Ann, 25, recalled. “I never wanted to go in there. I was always knocking. He was always at our house, it was just a lot.”

After the confession, Brooks joked that she won’t be speaking to her sister anytime soon.

Brooks Nader and Estranged Husband Billy Haire’s Relationship Timeline

“I haven’t spoken to her since that interview,” Brooks told Us on Thursday, May 15. “I don’t plan to speak to her ever again, maybe. Although, it’s hard because we’re filming a show together. Lemme check back in with you in a few weeks and tell you how that’s going.”

2 Former College Football Players Dead After Separate Incidents at Marathons

Two former college football stars have died after separate incidents at marathons over the weekend. 

Brian Williams, a former safety at Texas A&M, died on Sunday, May 18, after running a half marathon in Irving, Texas the previous day. His brother, Rawleigh Williams III, told The Dallas Morning News that Brian died of heat stroke. Brian was 24 years old.

Rawleigh, a former running back at the University of Arkansas, made an emotional post via Instagram about his brother’s death on Sunday. 

“B you are my heart,” he wrote. “The BEST version of us in every single way B. I don’t think I can make it without you but I’m going to try for our parents and our sister. I love you brother.”

A four-star recruit out of high school, Brian played played three seasons at Texas A&M, appearing in 10 games in both 2019 and 2020.

Bishop Dunne assistant principal Michael Alfers, who also taught Williams in 8th grade, remembered Brian as an impressive individual away from football, too.

“Everybody looked up to him not only just because of his accomplishments on the field, but just from the way he carried himself and the way he treated others,” Alfers told the Morning News. “And he just always was kind of like a model student, a model young person in general.”

On the same day, former University of Minnesota defensive Charles Rogers died while running the Brooklyn Half Marathon. 

Rogers went into cardiac arrest and collapsed at Ocean Parkway and 18th Avenue at approximately 8 a.m., according to the New York Post. He was 31 years old.

“Charles put everything he had into everything he did,” Rogers’ wife, Sydney Rogers, told the Post. “While he leaves behind a wife and family that already miss him terribly, he loved being competitive and left us being 100% himself.”

Rogers transferred to Minnesota in 2015 after spending two years at Iowa State and one at Iowa Western Community College. He played three games in 2015, making 11 tackles, but missed 10 games because of injury. Rogers missed the entire 2016 season due to injury. He transferred to Lindenwood University in Missouri for one final season of college football in 2017.

“Charles was a terrific young man who had an infectious smile and personality,” a University of Minnesota spokesperson told The Minnesota Star Tribune. “We will keep his family and friends in our thoughts as they mourn this tragic loss.”

Sadie Robertson and Christian Huff Attribute Therapy to Successful Marriage

Sadie Robertson and husband Christian Huff are happily expecting their third baby — but their relationship isn’t without its bumps.

“When we got married, Christian became a true partner in life with me and a best friend,” Robertson, 27, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly, applauding her husband, 27, for diving into her “struggle” with anxiety and working to understand her hardships.

The pregnant star says there’s “so much freedom” in having Huff by her side in her mental health journey and beyond.

“Since we’ve gotten married, we’ve been through some hard things together,” Robertson says, pointing to their parenthood journey as one aspect of life that challenged them as a couple.

She confesses, “[There’s] been some definitely deep, deep times in our marriage that have definitely bonded us.”

The Duck Dynasty star says that she and Huff, whom she wed in November 2019, have been a “team” through all the hardships. By leaning on each other and going to therapy regularly, the couple have been able to overcome all that life throws at them.

“We’ve had a counselor since our premarital stuff and she stuck with us ever since,” Robertson tells Us, noting that sometimes they speak with her “more than others.”

Huff agrees with his wife, sharing his belief that the key to their successful marriage is “communication.” He explains, “All people go through difficult things, just you have to have the vulnerability to discuss them.”

Robertson, who shares daughters Honey, 4, and Haven, 2, with Huff, tells Us that by turning to a counselor the pair are able to “love each other more.”

Huff, meanwhile, says that through counseling they’ve learned “little taglines” that have positively influenced how they speak to each other.

“It’s [phrases like], ‘Never say never always,’ which means I don’t say, ‘You never do this or you always do this,’” he shares, adding that the “little subtle things” make big impressions.

After five years of marriage, Huff says he and Robertson are focused on “just being in a place where we can have those conversations of things we’re wrestling with and do it together and not try to do it apart.”

The couple’s highs and lows as a family will be on display when Robertson’s family returns for Duck Dynasty: The Revival series on A&E Sunday, June 1. Robertson teases their sex reveal party will be a particularly fun story line and something they’ve been “trying to keep” a secret for months.

Outside of their relationship — and the lives of Sadie’s parents, Willie Robertson and Korie Robertson, and their siblings — their bond over faith will also be highlighted. “We are totally confident sharing our faith,” Sadie, who is an inspirational speaker and host of the “WHOA That’s Good” podcast, says. “We share it in a way that we hope brings hope to other families.”

Ilona Maher Started Writing a Book Before Going Viral in 2024 Olympics

Olympian Ilona Maher has big plans to share her story with fans in a new way.

During the Tuesday, May 20, episode of her “House of Maher” podcast, the athlete, 28, praised how guest Mamrie Hart took a “really fun” approach to writing her books, You Deserve a Drink and I’ve Got This Round. (The YouTuber also has a cookbook titled All I Think About Is Food, which was released last month.)

“I’m trying to write a memoir of my own,” Maher revealed. “So it was almost, like, a good way to learn from you and how you put yourself in it.”

Maher further hinted that she’s been working on putting together a book “for a while,” explaining, “In 2022, I was like, ‘I don’t have anything to write about. What am I gonna write about?’ And then one day, I opened up a Cutwater … I was at home and I just started typing and realized you have so much more to say than you realize sometimes.”

Who Is Ilona Maher? Meet the TikTok-Famous Team USA Rugby Star

Hart teased, “I think it was Hemingway who said, ‘Write drunk, edit sober,'” which Maher confirmed is how she got started.

“There’s so many little fun stories to share,” the rugby star continued. “So it’s been really cool to write and cathartic, in a way.”

According to her sister and cohost Olivia Maher, there’s more layers to Ilona than her sports persona shows. “I remember after you read [Mamrie’s books], you were like, ‘This is what I kind of want my book to feel like,'” Olivia (known online for creating the “girl dinner” trend) said on Tuesday. “Like, ‘I want it to be my personal anecdotes.’ It doesn’t need to be, like, sports and the grind and the rise, it’s also where you’ve made mistakes and you’ve gotten better or you’ve learned and the relationship you come from.”

Ilona Maher Has Been Writing A Book For a While 2

While Ilona became more of a household name during the 2024 Olympics in Paris — where she helped the U.S. women’s rugby team win its first-ever Olympic medal — she was already a trendsetter in the sport. She previously made her Olympic debut in 2021 at the Tokyo Games and is a vocal advocate for topics like body image and inclusion both on and off the field. Ilona has also used her trademark red lipstick to send an important message.

“It doesn’t take away from your athletic ability if you wear makeup,” she told CBS Mornings last summer. “If you want to put on a full face of makeup to go tackle people, good on you if you’re doing it. So for me, it was almost like a ‘stick it to the man’ type [of thing]. … You don’t have to sacrifice your femininity to play any sport.”

Ilona Maher Was 'Super Drunk' at Olympics Closing Ceremony in Paris

Following her Olympic success, Ilona traded her cleats for heels on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars, finishing in second place with pro partner Alan Bersten. When asked to compare the two experiences, Ilona didn’t hesitate to tell Us which was more challenging.

“I feel like they’re hyping up Dancing With the Stars,” she shared in an exclusive interview in December 2024. “It was very hard. It was extremely hard. Mentally very hard for me, but in a different way. I think there was just different pressure levels. … This was about me dancing, looking pretty on the screen and dancing for people. It was very hard, but I think I put more pressure on it maybe than it had to be.”

She explained, “With the Olympics, this wasn’t just for myself. The Olympics was to get a medal for my team, to get a medal for our program so we could continue having a program so young girls could dream about being an Olympian and playing rugby in the U.S. So that’s pressure.”

Katy Perry Jokingly Tells a Fan to Stop DMing Orlando Bloom Mid-Concert

Katy Perry pressed pause during a concert to send a joking message to a fan about longtime love Orlando Bloom.

While in the middle of performing, Perry, 40, walked toward a fan and squatted down as she exclaimed, “Oh, yeah, cute grin. I know why you’re here.”

“Listen. If you keep DMing my man,” Perry quipped, per fan footage shared via TikTok. “Oh, Kyle. I know. I know. You’ve been doing it for months. Ever since the residency. You didn’t come to see me play. If you keep on DMing my man, I’m going to have you removed. Seriously, get your own life. I’m his wife.”

Perry told the audience, “I’m his,” as concertgoers replied, “He’s mine.” (The fan “accusation” came during her performance of “I’m His, He’s Mine,” from her 2024 album, 143.)

Katy Perry Loved 'Catching Up' With Taylor Swift at 'Eras Tour' Post-Feud

“Stay the F [away],” Perry added before standing up to continue singing. “He don’t want you, Kyle.”

Perry, who kicked off The Lifetimes Tour in April, has been linked to Bloom, 48, since 2016. The pair dated for one year before briefly calling it quits. After nearly a year apart, they reconnected in 2018, and Bloom popped the question one year later.

While the couple was set to exchange vows in 2019, they had to postpone because of a problem with the location. The pair hit another hurdle in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Amid their changing wedding plans, Perry revealed in March 2020 that she was pregnant with their first baby. Perry and Bloom welcomed daughter Daisy Dove, now 4, in August 2020. Years after her daughter’s birth, Perry celebrated the final show of her Las Vegas residency with Daisy in the crowd — and gave her a sweet shout-out from the stage.

“Daisy! I love you so much,” Perry told her daughter, who was dressed as Minnie Mouse, per fan footage. “You’re my best friend. I’m so glad you’re here.”

While opening up about her relationship with Bloom, Perry admitted during a September 2024 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that the twosome go to couples therapy together.

“The more we do the work, the more we find the next level. And sometimes we get stuck, and we’re like, ‘OK, let’s go in to do the work and this is going to be annoying, and I don’t want to do it. We don’t have the time. I’m tired.’ But we’re gonna do it,” she said. “And then we find the next level. That’s why we’re continuing in the relationship.”

Sarah Silverman Reveals Family Secret About Older Brother Jeffrey’s Death

Sarah Silverman always knew that she had a brother who died five years before she was born, but didn’t have the real details about his death — until now.

“I’m going to tell you a big bomb,” Sarah, 54, shared during a Rolling Stone feature, published on Sunday, May 18, before detailing the truth about her brother Jeffrey who passed in his infancy.

“The story was that something happened with the crib, and Jeffrey’s little body slid and he got suffocated,” she told the publication. “But if you look back, there was never a lawsuit with the crib company or anything.”

Sarah grew up hearing that the incident occurred while Jeffrey was in the care of her paternal grandparents.

When she was writing her 2010 memoir The Bedwetter, Silverman spoke to both of her parents, who unknowingly hinted at something being awry with Jeffrey’s death. Although her parents, Donald Silverman and Beth Ann O’Hara, typically had differing versions of every story they told, when it came to talking about Jeffrey, their stories matched up perfectly.

Rock On! ‘School of Rock’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

Donald went to see his daughter’s Bedwetter: The Musical when it was Off-Broadway in 2022, in which she made a joke about Jeffrey. After watching five performances of the show in a row, Donald was finally ready to tell the truth. (Donald died in May 2023.)

“My dad says, ‘I always felt that he was crying or something, and my dad shook him,’” she recalled, referring to her grandfather. “‘He shook him in a rage and killed him.’”

Sarah continued: “As soon as he said it, it was like, ‘Of course, that’s what happened.’ His mother always stood by her husband. She watched him beat the s*** out of her son. I couldn’t ask my mom, because she was dead.”

A separate story shared about her family in the same Rolling Stone profile also seemed to hint at her father’s tale of Jeffrey’s death.

When she was 5 years old, Sarah was in the car with her grandmother and was told to buckle her seatbelt. “Yeah, we don’t want to wind up like Jeffrey,” the young Sarah retorted, recalling that her grandma burst into tears.

Celebrity Deaths of 2025: Stars We’ve Lost This Year

Much of the interview was focused on Sarah’s late father, whom she referred to as “my best friend, my buddy” before his death.

“Well, he wasn’t my best friend until I was older,” she admitted. “He was not physically abusive, but he had uncontrollable rage.”

At one point, Sarah detailed her father’s upbringing — which seemed to explain more about her grandfather.

“My dad had a heartbreaking childhood,” she said. “His dad beat the s*** out of him every day, just mercilessly. He had a younger brother who wasn’t touched. His father made the kids call him Mr. Silverman.”

Jennifer Lopez Looks Pretty in Pink in 1st Appearance After Facial Injury

Jennifer Lopez made a stunning public appearance after revealing she sustained an injury while rehearsing to host the 2025 American Music Awards.

Lopez, 55, was seen arriving at a birthday celebration for John Kander in New York on Monday, May 19, in a light pink dress. She was seen that same night in a white ensemble for an after party for John Kander at Ring Them Bells: A Birthday Celebration.

The outing came after Lopez suffered a facial injury. “So this happened,” she wrote via Instagram Stories earlier this month alongside a photo that showed her swollen nose. “(During @amas rehearsals).”

Lopez confirmed she had to get stitches, adding, “Thank you for stitching me up Dr. Diamond. A week later and a whole lotta ice, I’m good as new.”

Jennifer Lopez’s Ageless Moments Through the Years

Despite the health scare, Lopez is on the mend and ready to perform at the May 26 awards show. She is the fourth music artist in history to host the AMAs twice following Lionel Richie, Diana Ross and Pitbull.

“We are thrilled to welcome Jennifer Lopez back to host the American Music Awards,” Dick Clark Productions CEO Jay Penske said in an April statement. “Jennifer’s incredible talent and incomparable stage presence make her the ideal host of the show. We know she will bring her one-of-a-kind energy to the official kick-off celebration of summer.”

Lopez previously hosted the awards show in 2015.

“This was so long ago, but the energy in the room was very electric,” she recalled during the awards show’s 50th anniversary special in October 2024. “Winning a fan-voted award is incredibly special because it’s directly from the people that you make the music for. It’s just a humbling experience.”

Before taking the stage, Lopez made headlines when finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck. The former couple tied the knot in July 2022 after rekindling their romance — they were previously engaged from 2002 to 2004. Lopez filed for divorce two years later in August 2024.

Jennifer Lopez's Dating History: A Timeline of Her Famous Relationships

“She was very in love with Ben, but love isn’t enough sometimes,” a source told Us Weekly about Lopez at the time. “Things worked out for the best and how they were supposed to.”

Earlier this year, Affleck, 52, broke his silence on the high-profile split when asked by GQ why he chose to be involved in Lopez’s 2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. The film was a companion piece to her 2024 visual album, This Is Me … Now, and included scenes where Affleck discussed their relationship.

“There’s a tendency to look at breakups and want to identify root causes or something. But honestly … the truth is much more quotidian than probably people would believe or would be interesting,” he explained in March. “There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue [about our divorce]. The truth is, when you talk to somebody, ‘Hey, what happened?’ Well, there is no, ‘This is what happened.'”

Affleck concluded: “It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”

Diddy's $61.5M Los Angeles Mansion Is Still on the Market: See Pics

As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex crimes trial continues in New York, his Los Angeles mansion continues to sit on the real estate market.

The rapper’s California residence is still for sale eight months after it was first listed. Diddy, 55, listed the property at an asking price of $61.5 million in September 2024, shortly before he was arrested in New York City and indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. (He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.)

Diddy reportedly purchased the property, which is located in L.A.’s Holmby Hills neighborhood, for $39 million. The home features 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms and sits on 1.3 acres. The main house includes several amenities, including a formal dining room, a regular and catering kitchen, a wine cellar and a home theater that seats 35 people, per multiple outlets.

The lot also includes a two-story guesthouse with its own bedrooms, a gym and an at-home recording studio. The home’s spacious backyard is just as impressive, featuring a swimming pool, basketball court, loggia, spa house, pizza oven and barbecue bar.

Kid Cudi Expected to Testify in Diddy Trial After Cassie Romance

Standing tall outside near the side of the house is a silver, metallic statue of a female torso. Bordering the art piece are decorative hedges shaped in an X pattern.

Despite the house’s luxurious qualities, Diddy’s former residence has yet to find a buyer. “When they buy a home at that price point, they like to brag about it,” Landmark Research Group partner Michael Tachovsky told Business Insider in an article published Monday, May 19. “P. Diddy’s reputation, at the current time, really isn’t a positive bragging point for a potential buyer. It can play into perceptions, and when there’s a negative perception with a property, it just makes it harder to sell.”

Belwood Investments founder Bo Belmont made a $30 million offer on the house back in November 2024. “I want to remove the stigma and focus on the charming elegance of this remarkable property,” he said in a press release at the time. “We intend major renovations and especially want to recapture the beautiful, bucolic setting of the outside grounds, with its picturesque trees, foliage, and walkways. This prominent estate will be a great asset to our growing portfolio of luxury properties.”

Cassie Says Hotel Video Shows Diddy Trying to Drag Her Back to a Freak Off

Diddy’s L.A. home made headlines in March 2024 when it was one of his properties raided by Homeland Security in connection to a sex trafficking investigation. In his September 2024 indictment, it was revealed law enforcement seized supplies for his alleged sex parties known as “freak offs,” including “narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” and multiple firearms.

Diddy’s trial kicked off in New York City earlier this month, with his ex-girlfriend Cassie taking the stand to testify after filing and settling a civil lawsuit against him in November 2023. (Diddy denied Cassie’s allegations at the time and has continued to deny all accusations against him.)

Among her testimony’s many claims, Cassie, 38, alleged on Friday, May 16, that the 2016 hotel security camera footage published by CNN last year showed him dragging her back to their room to participate in a freak off.

Mariska Hargitay Continues to Honor Mom Jayne Mansfield With Cannes Outfit

Mariska Hargitay’s trip to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival is all about her late mother, Jayne Mansfield.

Hargitay, 61, stepped out in a black shirt that read “GUCCI JAYNE MANSFIELD” in photos shared via Instagram on Tuesday, May 20. The actress paired the T-shirt with a black printed skirt and matching heels. Hargitay was all smiles as she posed for photos in the look while holding hands with husband Peter Hermann.

“Greetings from the croisette!” Hargitay captioned her Instagram post on Tuesday. “@mymomjayne 🎬📽 I ♥France! Merci @gucci pour ce t-shirt magnifique!”

Her Gucci shirt came from the luxury brand’s FW22 collection.

Hargitay has been sharing her adventures at Cannes via social media as she attended the film festival alongside her family. The Law & Order: SVU star and Hermann, 57, share three kids: August, 18, Amaya, 14, and Andrew, 12.

The entire family stepped out for the premiere of Hargitay’s directorial debut, My Mom Jayne, on Saturday, May 17. The documentary is Hargitay’s love letter to her late mother, looking back on the legendary actress’ life and legacy.

Mansfield died in a car accident at age 34 in 1967. Hargitay, who was 3 years old at the time, was in the car along with two of her siblings.

Along with reflecting on her mom’s life, Hargitay also made a major reveal about her family in the documentary. The actress shared that her dad, Mickey Hargitay, is not actually her biological father. (Mickey died in 2006 at age 80.)

Hargitay spoke about “living a lie my entire life,” in an interview with Vanity Fair published on Saturday, confirming that her biological father is Italian singer and comedian Nelson Sardelli.

“It was like the floor fell out from underneath me,” Hargitay recalled in My Mom Jayne, recalling the first time she saw a photo of Sardelli. “Like my infrastructure dissolved.”

Eventually, they met in Atlantic City.

“I went full Olivia Benson on him,” she said, referring to her SVU character. “I was like, ‘I don’t want anything, I don’t need anything from you.… I have a dad.’ There was something about loyalty. I wanted to be loyal to Mickey.”

Hargitay has ultimately come to a revelation about her parentage.

“I grew up where I was supposed to, and I do know that everyone made the best choice for me,” she shared. “I’m Mickey Hargitay’s daughter — that is not a lie. This documentary is kind of a love letter to him, because there’s no one that I was closer to on this planet.”

Busy Philipps Jokes She Was 'Ahead of the Times' With Unique Baby Names

Busy Philipps hasn’t forgotten about the chatter she caused when she revealed the names of her two kids.

“It’s so crazy,” Philipps, 45, joked to Us Weekly while celebrating the launch of QVC’s Q50 “Age Of Possibility” platform on Wednesday, May 14. “I’m always ahead of the times.”

When Philipps and ex-husband Marc Silverstein named their daughter Birdie in 2008 and Cricket in 2013, many fans were surprised at the unique name changes.

But as more and more celebrities continue to think outside the box — with names like Ocean, Win and Daisy popping up — the actress is focused on other things, like raising teenagers in 2025.

Kevin Costner's Son Hayes Set to Appear in Actor's New Film

“I sound like every parent ever. I’m such a boomer, but I do think that the challenges that parents now have and that teenagers have in these last several years have been very unique,” Philipps shared with Us while wearing an Attitudes by Renee dress by QVC designer Reneé Greenstein. “Can you imagine going through puberty and being a teenager during the pandemic? Kids have not done well. I think that it’s been a real struggle for a lot of teenagers and parents of teens.”

Fortunately for Philipps, she has been able to build an open and honest bond with her daughters where communication is welcomed and encouraged.

“I feel really grateful and lucky that my kids are who they are, and they’re so cool and open,” she said. “But it’s a process and a constant communication and figuring out new ways of communicating, because as they get older, that all changes. But it’s cool. It’s cool. Every day is an adventure.”

When the kids are at school, Philipps is hard at work preparing to launch season 2 of Busy This Week with her cohost Caissie St. Onge.

The late-night talk show, streaming exclusively on QVC+ and HSN+, promises to feature laugh-out-loud moments, personal stories and celebrity guest interviews with Chrissy Metz, QVC fashion designer Stacy London and more.

One guest who proved to be a pinch-me moment for the Cougar Town actress was the one and only David Letterman.

“I very much grew up watching David Letterman and to me, he was the king of late night, and I never was a guest on his show,” she said. “To be in this position where he gets to be a guest on my show? Are you kidding me? I was freaking out, and it honestly exceeded expectations.”

When season 2 premieres Wednesday, May 21, Philipps will welcome her longtime bestie Michelle Williams to the show for the very first time.

While Philipps joked that she finds America’s fascination with their friendship “cute,” she is absolutely grateful to have found such a loyal friend.

“My hope is that everybody has that in their life, that everybody has a Busy or a Michelle in their life,” she told Us. “At the end of the day, your friends are the loves of your life, and they’re the ones that see you through all the different stages. I mean, partners are incredible and, like, are definitely there for periods of time, but the real people who are in it with you, day in and day out, for better, for worse, are your friends.”
