After one season of 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' (RHOSLC), Monica Garcia is heading away.  It was reported that she would be leaving the show after a bombshell revealed she was part of the Reality Von Tease Instagram account, which targeted other cast members Jen Shah, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Meredith Marks, and Lisa Barlow.  Jen Shah is currently behind bars for fraud.  The announcement was released hours before Monica was set to make her final appearance on the show. Earlier this month, Andy Cohen revealed it was "too early to speculate” about her possible return to the show. “I think one of the great things about the reunions is that it’s a chance for people to say their piece and kind of appeal to their castmates if they’ve been ostracized. I think it’s a conversation to be had after the reunion airs and see where people are at — fans and castmates.” Monica had joined the RHOSLC women for season four, which premiered last September. She made waves during the

In the photo, she's enjoying a day by the water, wearing a zebra-print bikini with gold chain accents, paired with black sunglasses.  She followed it with a more recent swimsuit photo, which appeared to be taken during her January 2023 trip to Mexico.  “I’m not perfect but I am proud to be who I am … sometimes I forget it’s OK to be me." Over the years, Selena has become an advocate for body positivity. Back in 2019, she explained that her health can cause her weight to fluctuate.  “I have lupus and deal with kidney issues and high blood pressure, so I deal with a lot of health issues and for me, that’s when I really started noticing more of the body image stuff." She was diagnosed with lupus in 2014, and has undergone a kidney treatment with friend Franci

Country star, Chris Young, has been arrested in Nashville, charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and assault of an officer.  It was confirmed he was booked into the Nashville Metro jail on January 22nd, and was released January 23rd. He is scheduled to appear in court on February 16th.  The alleged incident happened after Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) agents entered a bar to complete a compliance check.  Chris was present at the time, and allegedly started questioning the agents, and recording video of them.  The agents proceeded to leave, and entered a different establishment to perform another compliance check.  When they attempted to leave, Chris allegedly put his hands out to stop them from leaving. One agent claimed he then "struck" him on the shoulder, and started "yelling and screaming." Chris rose to stardom after he won season four of 'Nashville Star' in 2006. He was then signed to RCA Records Nashville, and has release

This happened after he violated the NBA's anti-drug program.  The NBA confirmed he tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, Ibutamoren and SARM LGD-4033.  The suspension will start on January 24th, for the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Milwaukee Bucks.

Mandy Moore has welcomed a new member in her family, one with four paws. A new rescue dog.  “Welcome to the family, Marshmallow. This sweet boy was found wandering the streets for several days, many miles from here by our beloved nanny, Celina. He’s about 6-7 months, unchipped, not fixed (but scheduled for next week) and just the most unexpectedly wonderful addition to our gang.” “We weren’t looking for another dog but he was looking for us and the fact that he looks remarkably like our dear Joni made it too impossible to ignore. The cats are nonplussed and Jackson (our 14-year-old shepherd mutt rescue) is also a little 🤷‍♀️ but Marshmallow is slowly winning them over.” Mandy and her husband Taylor Goldsmith currently have pet children Jackson (dog) and three cats. They also previously shared Joni (pup), who was sadly euthanised in December 2020.  The couple's two children, Gus and Ozzie, also love having a range of lovable pets around.

It's been confirmed that Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, has been diagnosed with skin cancer.  A spokesperson said, "Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma." "Her dermatologist asked that several moles were removed and analyzed at the same time as the Duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous.” She is currently undergoing "further investigations” to see if the diagnosis was "caught in the early stages.” “Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after treatment for breast cancer has been distressing but the Duchess remains in good spirits."  "The Duchess wants to thank the entire medical team [who] has supported her, particularly her dermatologist whose vigilance ensured the illness was detected when it was. She believes her experience underlines the importance of checking

Kristen Stewart has transformed once again, showcasing a new 'do.'  Recently, she debuted a hair transformation, rocking micro fringe bangs at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.  On opening night, she turned a lot of heads with the new look.  The face-framing baby bangs were so short, they didn't touch her eyebrows, which is a style that was popularised by Audrey Hepburn in the 1950s.  She wore her hair in a lived-in updo, complete with textured strands popping out.  And it wasn't just her hair that drew attention.  She changed up her style, and was wearing a black and white, audacious, patterned pantsuit, with bows, diamonds, and Chanel's logo.  She had simple accessories including dainty silver pieces, and black shoes. During the event, she gained the Visionary Award from former co-star Jesse Eisenberg. "Jesse, I adore you and your work. I love you. So much." She then reminisced on her career and fashion evolution.  "I came here for the first time 20

Ashley Park, known for her role in 'Emily In Paris,' has been hospitalised.  “As I sit here processing and recovering from the first few weeks of 2024, the only word I can think of is grateful. While on holiday in December into New Years, what started as tonsillitis spiraled into critical septic shock, which infected and affected several of my organs. I am grateful that my health has improved despite what we had initially been told.” She thanked her co-star and rumoured boyfriend Paul Forman.  “Grateful most of all to [Paul] for being unconditionally by my side through all this. You calmed my fears and held me through ambulances, three foreign hospitals, a week in the ICU, scary ERs, countless scans and tests and injections, excruciating pain, and so much confusion all while we were alone on the other side of the world far from those we know." The two met while filming the third season, when he was cast as her love interest, Nicolas de Leon.  “I love you, Paul. More than I

Charlie Sheen, and Brooke Mueller have mutually agreed to change the custody details regarding their sons, 14-year old twins.  Court documents state Charlie requested joint physical and legal custody, and was granted the emergency request with conditions, including him "immediately" assuming "sole legal custody" of his sons Bob and Max, "in the event Brooke tests positive” for drugs or alcohol. Paperwork revealed the children mostly reside with Charlie while Brooke received "reasonable and flexible periods” of custody and visitation.  She would need to test for drugs and alcohol as often as required by the probation officer, within 24 hours of a written request, either from Charlie or his attorney.  Charlie will keep providing additional financial assistance to Brooke occasionally, but won't sign any new lease or month-to-month extension for any home.  He will also continue to pay her rent at her current residence while she is clean and sober.

A month later, he was released.  His first public appearance since was made in December 2023, when he accepted the Vanguard Award at the Critics Choice Association Celebration of Cinema & Television: Honoring Black, Latino, and AAPI Achievements.  “I want to thank everybody.

I couldn’t actually walk.” In December 2023, Cameron Diaz acknowledged there were "hiccups" in filming 'Back In Action,' revealing they were all "natural" incidents.  “Nothing got delayed other than, obviously, toward the end.

Alec Baldwin has been indicted on involuntary manslaughter charges for a second time, in connection with the death of Halyna Hutchins, which occurred on the set of the star's film 'Rust.' It was confirmed recently, over two years after Hutchins died. The victim was 42 years old in October 2021, when the incident occurred.  At the time, Alec fired a prop gun on set, which was loaded with real bullets.  His attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro said, "We look forward to our day in court."

Three years ago, Hilary Duff confirmed the reboot of beloved Disney show 'Lizzie McGuire' was no longer on the cards. Now, writer Jonathan Hurwitz has revealed what we could've expected to see.  Viewers last saw Lizzie in her teen years, but the reboot would've see her as an adult, following her life.  The first episode would've shown things weren't turning out exactly as planned.  "Basically, it starts in New York," he said. "Lizzie's been working and living there as an interior designer, and she's dating this very, very handsome chef. And she ends up finding that he's been cheating on her with her best friend."  After Lizzie learns this, she decides to leave New York. Jonathan clarified Lizzie's best friend in the original show, Miranda, was not the friend involved.  "She, at the end of the pilot, goes home to California—to the home we all saw in the original show, and she's in her childhood bedroom where little ani

Jessica Biel has posted a TikTok, captioned "Airplane Chronicles Part 1," where she documented her experience being trapped on a plane, which couldn't land in its destination thank to extreme weather.  “I am currently on a short flight and we cannot land because of this crazy snow storm.

She showed off pistachios, a fruit bar, a clementine, and other snacks, stating "favourite" for each as she held them up.  She added that she doesn't regret not packing lunch, but is happy to have remembered to pack "triple of each” snack before leaving.  “And just for good measure, in case it gets really, really desperate up here... How much would this plane literally want to kill me if I pulled out this microphone to start karaoke wit

Pierce Brosnan is sticking to his side of doing no wrong while hiking in Yellowstone's hot springs.  In December, the movie star was cited in Wyoming after he allegedly entered protected thermal areas of Yellowstone National Park.  A photo, which has since been deleted, showed Pierce standing on a white crust that resembled some of the park's thermal attractions.  Earlier this month, he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. A criminal docket filing in the US District Court states he received citations for travelling by foot "in all thermal areas and w/in Yellowstone Canyon confined to trails" and “violating closures and use limits.” Both citations are listed as petty offenses. The park's thermal areas include the hot springs, geysers, mudpots, travertine terraces, and fumaroles.  Yellowstone visitors must respect multiple safety rules around the thermal areas. The park warns the ground below these areas "may be only a thin crust above boiling hot spr

Sophie Turner has dropped the "wrongful retention" claims she filed against estranged husband, Joe Jonas, regarding the custody of the couple's two daughters.  Court documents state a US judge approved to dismiss the filing after both Joe and Sophie signed a consent plan approved by a UK judge.  Last September, Sophie sued Joe for wrongful retention, alleging he was withholding their daughters' passports, not allowing them to return to England. The complaint called for "the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained." Sophie's legal team asserted the "wrongful retention" began on September 20th. Just recently, the two agreed to have the filing dismiss "with prejudice, and without attorneys’ fees, expenses, costs and/or disbursements awarded to either party" after the agreement was approved in the UK.  Before the dismissal, and after the September filing, Joe released a statement disputing the claims. At the

It's understood he wanted to share the diagnosis, to encourage men, who could be experiencing symptoms, to get checked.  A royal source confirmed the King will still be able to fulfil his constitutional requirements and duties.  This news comes just hours after Kensington Palace announced Kate Middleton was hospitalised after undergoing a "planned abdominal surgery."  "The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for 10 to 14 days, before returning home to continue her recovery.
