Meghan Markle and Prince Harry upstaged by Bondi Beach sunbather who treated them like they were invisible

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 18:43:40 -0400

The sun was shining for Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and an unsuspecting beachgoer.

During a surprise trip to Bondi Beach last week, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex drew a crowd of revelers as cameras flashed while they walked in the sand.

Despite a massive group of followers cascading down and surrounding the royal couple, one beachgoer went viral after she couldn't be bothered to dismiss the UV index for the day.

On the last day of their four-day tour of Australia, Meghan and Harry walked alongside lifeguards and fans to get to the shore, only for one tanning pro to remain on her towel as if the crowd was "invisible."

"Absolute queen at Bondi Beach sunbathing, she couldn’t be bothered to even look up as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry walked right past her," one user noted on social media.

"And yes, they were with their entire entourage, lifeguards, cameras, and fans. She stayed flat on her towel like they were invisible. Meghan wanted to be treated like a normal person. Well… mission accomplished."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's trip included a visit to the Melbourne Royal children's hospital — which Queen Elizabeth II opened in 1963 — meeting with veterans and panel discussion for a youth mental health organization.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex caught criticism earlier this month for their allegedly privately funded "faux royal tour" of the country.

Public complaints emerged about the added security costs for police agencies as the couple visited Melbourne and Canberra, with Sydney marking the final leg of their trip. Melbourne’s Herald Sun newspaper described the latest visit as a "faux royal tour to shore up Brand Sussex."

A spokesperson for the couple rejected the claim that the couple’s visit was a publicity tour.

"The program is rooted in long-standing areas of work for the Duke and the Duchess, with a clear focus on amplifying organizations delivering measurable impact," their office said. "The visit prioritizes listening, learning and supporting communities rather than promotion."

The statement noted that their agenda includes "a small number of private engagements" to "support broader charitable and commercial objectives."

King Charles honors 'beloved mother' on what would've been Queen Elizabeth's 100th birthday

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:55:54 -0400

King Charles honored his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in an emotional speech on what would have been her 100th birthday.

In the speech, which was posted on the royals' YouTube page, the monarch reflected on "what would have been my beloved mother's" birthday and called it a day for him and his family to "pause to reflect on the life and loss of a Sovereign who meant so much to us all and to celebrate anew the many blessings of her memory."

"Queen Elizabeth’s ‘promise with destiny kept’ shaped the world around her and touched the lives of countless people across our nation, the Commonwealth and beyond," he said. "Her near-century was one of remarkable change and yet, through each passing decade, through every transformation, she remained constant, steadfast and wholly devoted to the people she served."

He went on to share the many moments people will remember her for, including "moments of national significance" or more personal experiences in which she gave them "a smile [or] a kind word that lifted spirits."

Or maybe, he said, they would remember her "for that marvellous twinkle of the eye when sharing a marmalade sandwich with Paddington Bear in the final months of her life."

"Much about the times we now live in I suspect may have troubled her deeply, but I take heart from her belief that goodness will always prevail and that a brighter dawn is never far from the horizon," he said. "For as a young Princess Elizabeth put it in her first ever public broadcast, aged just 14, we can each play our part ‘to make the world of tomorrow a better and happier place’."

Agreeing with the sentiments his mother shared so long ago, Charles noted that the late Queen's words are "a belief which I share, with all my heart."

"So young or old, and whatever our differences, let us therefore seek to follow this example as we make today not the marking of a milestone felt by absence but the celebration of a life well-lived, and a legacy of hope, as we strive together towards a ‘better, happier tomorrow’—one rooted in peace, justice, prosperity and security," he added.

"In this, I renew my own solemn pledge of duty and service to you all. God bless you, darling Mama; you remain forever in our hearts and prayers," Charles concluded.

As Charles spoke, footage of Queen Elizabeth throughout her life began playing, including moments she shared with the public, as well as private moments with her family.

Her grandson, Prince William, and his wife, Princess Catherine, also shared a tribute to the late royal.

The couple shared a series of photos, including snaps of her in her youth, with the Prince and Princess of Wales, alongside William's children on the Buckingham Palace balcony and one of her sitting alongside Charles, William and Prince George, a photo which showcased the current and future monarchs.

Billy Strings broke his leg skateboarding backstage and heard it 'snap over the screaming crowd'

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:54:34 -0400

Bluegrass superstar (it's kind of fun to have one of those these days, huh?) Billy Strings posted a photo of himself and some nasty-looking X-rays that came from an ill-advised bit of backstage skateboarding.

The multi-instrumentalist known for songs like "Dust in a Baggie" and "Away from the Mire," hopped on social media to let fans know what happened during one of his recent shows in Charlottesville, Virginia.

It ain't pretty.

"Well, can’t say y’all didn’t warn me about screwing around on my skateboard!!" he wrote. "Saturday night I walked off stage right before the encore I was all zazzed up from a really fun show. I grabbed my board and tried to do a trick I’ve done a million times (back 180) and landed awkwardly and broke my leg. I heard it snap over the screaming crowd!! Sounded like a damn 2x4."

Man... Billy Strings injured himself by being too cool.

I mean, not a lot of us can go on stage and start playing guitar for a few hours in front of screaming fans.

Not a lot of us can just say, "Hey, I'm going to throw down a trick on that there skateboard."

Fewer still can do both of those things.

Unfortunately, Strings is the Icarus to the blazing sun of ultra coolness.

"It’s been an interesting couple days to say the least complete with the most extreme pain and crazy ketamine trips and operations stuff but the staff here at UVA rules," Strings wrote. "They screwed me all back together. They are absolute angels on Earth."

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

This incident means that a few dates have been postponed to later in the year so that he can recover, but Strings said he nearly soldiered on with some help from the most famous throne in rock and roll.

"I had every intention of carrying on with the tour and Dave Grohling it. He even texted me and offered me the throne!" Strings said, referring to the throne Grohl used to perform with Foo Fighters after breaking his leg during a show in 2015. "I really don’t want to let anybody down, but after some long talks with these doctors, my friends, band and colleagues, my wife etc., I should probably let this thing heal.

Bruce Springsteen trashed by home state paper over expensive anti-Trump concerts

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:29:19 -0400

A New Jersey news outlet accused rock legend Bruce Springsteen of hypocritically profiteering off of an expensive anti-Trump concert in his own home state while still portraying himself as a "populist" rocker.

NJ.com published a piece on Tuesday, "Springsteen’s N.J. concert was poisoned by hypocrisy. Anti-Trump final act is a tragic mistake."

Since kicking off the tour in Minneapolis on March 31, Springsteen, 76, has repeatedly unleashed blistering attacks on President Donald Trump during his shows, blasting the administration as "corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless and treasonous" and mocking the 79-year-old as a "president who can't handle the truth" among other insults.

The article noted that the musician opened his New Jersey show with the same brazen preamble.

KID ROCK SAYS TPUSA'S ALTERNATE HALFTIME SHOW IS FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE JESUS AND AMERICA

During his performance in Newark, Springsteen called his audience to join in "choosing hope over fear, democracy over authoritarianism, the rule of law over lawlessness, ethics over unbridled corruption, resistance over complacency, truth over lies, unity over division and peace over war."

Springsteen, who remains an all-American icon known for anthems like "Born to Run," "Thunder Road" and "Born in the U.S.A.," has not been shy about sharing his political views over the past few decades.

The musician campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, candidate Joe Biden in 2020, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 and former President Barack Obama in 2012 and 2008.

LADY GAGA FACES BACKLASH AFTER ANTI-ICE RANT DURING TOKYO CONCERT

"One problem: It’s all hypocritical crap," the article stated. "Profiteering over legitimate protest. Springsteen’s artistic identity, as a bleeding-heart populist who sings for the destitute and downtrodden, has never been more disconnected from his economic behavior as a touring act or businessman.

"The blue-collar troubadour now charges exorbitant amounts for his tickets — up to $2,900 retail for the best seats in Newark Monday; prices he agreed to despite fan backlash. He’s selling ‘No Kings’ branded flags for $90 in the arena concourse."

Springsteen's home state news outlet argued the 2026 experience of the musician is unrecognizable, and the tour’s "political framing" exploits the division in America, suggesting the contradiction threatens to taint his career.

The article rebuffed critics, citing other musicians’ expensive tickets by arguing that other musician superstars did not build their brand "exalting themselves as the cavalry coming to rescue democracy from the clutches of fat-cat bureaucrats as they march to the bank. None of them has spent their career on stage as an agent of moral witness, who doesn’t perform as much as he preaches to his disciples in the name of all that is good and just."

The columnist also stated that while the music itself was great, "to frame it all now as some act of protest, set at a price few can afford, is not the tradition or high ground it pretends to be. It’s a hollow monetization of a fraught time in American history and a significant blemish on a storied career."

Fox News Digital reached out to Springsteen’s representatives and did not receive an immediate reply.

Bear Grylls reveals why A-list stars willingly eat snakes, brave glaciers on 'Running Wild'

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 16:20:07 -0400

One of the world’s most recognizable survivalists, Bear Grylls, swapped the rugged cliffs of Norway for the bright lights of the "Fox & Friends" studio this week — at least for a short time.

Joining host Brian Kilmeade, Grylls discussed the ninth season of his hit show, "Running Wild," which makes its debut on FOX.

While most talk shows involve celebrities sitting on a sofa to promote their latest project, the approach by Grylls is a bit more visceral.

HEALTHY DIETS SPARK LUNG CANCER RISK IN NON-SMOKERS AS PESTICIDES LOOM

The new season of his show features a heavy-hitting lineup, including Matthew McConaughey, whom Grylls took to a glacier in Norway.

Kilmeade joked about Grylls' casual appearance. But the survivalist was quick to note that his mother often called him the scruffiest person in the room.

For Grylls, however, the attire is a uniform for a job that bridges the gap between A-list glamour and rugged human experience.

"The wild never judges," Grylls said on "Fox & Friends."

RARE ROMAN MOSAIC SHOWS WOMAN BATTLING WILD ANIMALS IN THE ARENA, RESEARCHER SAYS

"I’ve done this all my life. ... My dad was a former Marine, taught me a lot of this stuff. … This became my world," Grylls said.

When asked why some of the most successful people on Earth would willingly subject themselves to the harsh conditions seen in the show’s promos — such as eating snakes or boiling water to avoid illness — Grylls said, for these stars, the appeal is about authenticity.

"It’s different [from] a chat show, where you sit on the sofa, and there’s a performance for three minutes to tell a funny story," Grylls said.

"Nature does my job for me. Like I said, it opens people up. I think a lot of these stars — they want the experience of what the wild can give you."

Reflecting on nine seasons of taking world leaders and icons into the brush, Grylls shared his biggest takeaway.

"Everyone’s just a regular person underneath it all," he said. "I admire the fact that they’re out of their comfort zone. And that becomes a discipline. Successful people do the difficult."

Ringo Starr reveals the one humble ritual the Beatles refused to quit even at the height of fame

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:59:26 -0400

Ringo Starr is getting candid about his days with the Beatles, including the one rule the band never broke even as their fame skyrocketed.

The legendary drummer revealed the one simple habit that remained unchanged until the very end. They always shared rooms on tour.

"You guys were roommates when the Beatles would tour," host Jimmy Kimmel said during Monday's episode of his show, prompting Starr to reflect on the band’s early days.

PAUL MCCARTNEY CAPTURES THE BEATLES' 'INNOCENCE,' CHALLENGES AMID RISE TO FAME IN NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN PHOTOS

"Well, we were always four of us in two rooms," Starr said. "So, I was roommates with everybody. You know, Paul was roommates with everybody. Depended where they put the suitcases. We just went and shared a room."

The host asked whether that changed once they became the biggest band on the planet. Starr revealed it didn’t.

"No, right up to the last day of the last tour — or the last night of the last tour — we shared," Starr said.

Long before private jets and sprawling entourages became standard for global superstars, Starr and his bandmates — Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison — were simply four young men navigating fame together, suitcase by suitcase.

Kimmel took the conversation in a more humorous direction, asking, "Wow. That’s really cool. When you visit each other at your homes now, do you get into bed together ever?"

Starr laughed, "No. No, not anymore."

But the host pushed one step further with a cheeky question about Starr’s closest sleeping companion outside of the family.

"Who would be the man — outside of maybe your family — the man that you’ve slept with the most? Would that be Paul?"

Starr replied, "Well, actually, I’d like to tell you I slept with the three of them."

The former Beatles drummer shared that he recently saw McCartney perform live and has plans to collaborate on a duet for his upcoming album, a full-circle moment for the two surviving Beatles who are still creating music together.

The legendary artist's upcoming country album, "Long Long Road," is set for release April 24.

During Starr’s career, he has received nine Grammy Awards and has been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, once with the Beatles and the second time as a solo artist.

Between 1970 and 2023, Starr released 20 solo studio records and four EPs.

In 2018, Starr was knighted, and in 2019, he celebrated 35 years of touring with his All-Starr Bands. In 2022, he received an honorary degree as a doctor of music from Berklee College of Music, and earlier he was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame with the Joe Chambers Musicians Legacy Award.

Blake Lively alleges ‘mean girl’ smear campaign damaged her career, seeks up to $296M

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:06:40 -0400

Blake Lively claimed the narratives labeling her a "bully" and "mean girl" across media and social platforms cost her nearly $300 million.

Lively insisted Justin Baldoni's film company and his PR firm retaliated against her after she came forward with allegations of "harassing conduct" against the actor in new court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

The "Gossip Girl" star said she lost a substantial amount of income because of the defendants’ alleged conduct, estimating her damages at roughly $34.3 million to $87.8 million. The bulk of that, according to Lively's experts, comes from missed opportunities between August 2024 and August 2029. These included major studio films and smaller independent projects to limited TV series, along with lost earnings from endorsements, speaking gigs and personal appearances.

Lively also claimed to have lost profits ranging between $39.6 million and $143.5 million from her companies – a beauty brand and beverage brand.

BLAKE LIVELY RISKS BECOMING A 'PARIAH' LIKE AMBER HEARD IF DRAGON ATTACK BACKFIRES IN COURT: EXPERTS

The 38-year-old actress added an additional $40 million for damage to her reputation she says was directly caused by the false narrative painting her as a "bully," "mean girl" and "tone deaf." She claimed that coverage of the legal saga involving Baldoni and linking her to those terms racked up more than 176 million impressions across online and traditional media, while continued discussion of the allegations, her legal complaints and the actor's countersuit added another 116 million impressions.

Her legal team tacked on between $250,000 and $400,000 for the "pain and suffering, physical pain, and humiliation" Lively claimed she experienced.

Baldoni's team claimed Lively's estimated damages are inflated and unsupported. His attorneys argued that even if Lively's businesses did lose profit, she couldn't personally recover those monetary losses.

The "Jane the Virgin" star and his company are seeking a verdict of no liability and a permanent dismissal of the case.

A federal judge allowed Lively's explosive retaliation claims to move forward in the high-profile Hollywood lawsuit — highlighting what could be considered a coordinated effort by powerful insiders to manipulate public opinion and destroy the "Gossip Girl" star's reputation.

However, Judge Lewis J. Liman tossed the majority of Lively's allegations against Baldoni, including the sexual harassment and defamation accusations. The judge's ruling dramatically narrowed the case to focus only on the actress' retaliation claims and a breach of contract claim.

Baldoni and Lively first became embroiled in a legal back-and-forth after filming the Colleen Hoover-adapted film, "It Ends With Us." The "Gossip Girl" actress claimed she experienced sexual harassment on set and sued Baldoni in December 2024.

Lively detailed allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, intentional affliction of emotional distress, negligence and more made against Baldoni and film producer Jamey Heath in a complaint first filed with the California Civil Rights Department and later in federal court.

Baldoni insisted that Lively had "falsely" accused him in an attempt to repair her reputation following the fallout of the movie's press tour after the actress took control of the film in his own $400 million defamation lawsuit.

Alan Osmond, eldest member of The Osmond Brothers, dead at 76

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:35:07 -0400

Alan Osmond, the eldest member of the Osmond Brothers, has died, Fox News Digital confirms. He was 76.

Donny Osmond paid tribute to Alan with a heartfelt post to his Instagram, where he shared a black-and-white photo of the two siblings at a young age.

"This is one of the earliest pictures I have of my brother Alan and me," Donny began.

"Even back then, you can see that he had his arm around me, watching over me. That’s who he was. My protector. My guide. The one who quietly carried so much responsibility so the rest of us could shine."

"Alan was our leader in every sense of the word. His tireless work helped build everything we became. I will always be grateful for the sacrifices he made and the love he showed—not just to me, but to every member of our family."

The tribute continued, "I owe him more than I can ever fully express."

"I love you, Alan. Thank you for always being there for me. Till we meet again, Brother Donny," he concluded.

Alan died Monday evening at his home in Orem, Utah, with his wife and all eight of their sons at his bedside, according to Fox 13.

No official cause of death has been released.

Born in Ogden, Utah, Alan was the eldest of the performing Osmond siblings and widely seen as the group’s leader during its rise to fame — often working behind the scenes to shape the family’s success.

His life took a major turn in 1987 when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, forcing him to step away from performing while remaining closely tied to the family’s work.

Alan’s brother and bandmate, Merrill Osmond, announced his death in a Facebook post early Tuesday, revealing he had seen his brother just two days before his passing. The two shared what he described as a final heart-to-heart, reflecting on their lives and decades of music together.

"Two days before my brother, Alan, passed, I was blessed to sit quietly with him. We talked as brothers do, heart to heart."

Merrill said Alan was struggling physically — yet still present and still himself.

"He was struggling, but when I shared a joke or two, he found the strength to chuckle… and then he smiled."

In what Merrill called a moment he will "never forget," Alan made one final request — one rooted in the brothers’ shared creative and spiritual work.

"He said, ‘Merrill, you and I worked side by side. We created, we produced, we directed… we gave our hearts to The Plan with Wayne. Please… do something with it. Let people know what we were trying to say.’"

Merrill made clear that the promise would not be left unfulfilled.

"I want you to know, his request will be honored."

He continued in part, "And I need you to know this… he has not left me. I have felt him. I have felt his quiet encouragement telling me to keep going… to keep building faith… to keep sharing light."

Merrill urged those mourning Alan to shift their perspective.

"So please, don’t let your hearts be heavy. Don’t weep for him. Rejoice, knowing that your brother, your friend, your hero is no longer in pain. He is free. He is whole. He is home."

Alan Osmond leaves behind a sprawling family legacy — survived by his wife, Suzanne, eight sons, 30 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, in addition to siblings Virl, Tom, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Jimmy and Marie. He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Olive Osmond, and his brother Wayne.

Haylie Duff and fiancé Matthew Rosenberg split after 12-year engagement

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 11:46:19 -0400

Haylie Duff and fiancé Matthew Rosenberg have split after a 12-year engagement.

"Haylie and Matt ended their relationship around the first of the year," a representative for Haylie told Fox News Digital in a statement. "She asks for privacy at this time in protection of her young daughters."

The couple share daughters Ryan, 10, and Lulu, 7.

Haylie, the older sister of Hilary Duff, and Rosenberg got engaged in 2014, but never officially tied the knot.

HAYLIE DUFF ON MOVING TO TEXAS AND MAINTAINING A HOLLYWOOD CAREER: 'MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR YOUR FAMILY'

In 2022, Haylie opened up about uprooting her family from Los Angeles to Texas during the pandemic.

"I think so much of my fear of moving out of Los Angeles was that my career was there and that I would never work again or something like that," she told Fox News Digital at the time. "And, you know, I think this has all taught us that Zoom certainly can be a very powerful tool. And we can, you know, very luckily for me, get to continue to work from here, and I get to live near my dad, which I haven't lived here (near) my dad in a really long time."

"And so there's a lot of family here that I get to spend time with now that I didn't before. And we love it. We've met great friends here, and we really landed in a great spot here."

"I'm very grateful that work opportunities have still been there for me," she added. "And I also am a big believer in God's got your back. And so you make the right decision for your family, and he's got it."

On top of her split, Haylie has recently made headlines for her fractured relationship with her younger sister.

Last month, Hilary reflected on her strained bond with Haylie while appearing on an episode of "On Purpose with Jay Shetty."

While discussing the lyrics to her song titled "We Don't Talk," Duff became emotional after admitting that the song was an ode to her older sibling.

"My sister and I don't speak. And I think in my adulthood I've come across more and more people that are having this experience," she told the podcast host. "As painful as it feels to share, when I decided to make this record, I could only talk about the things that I've gone through."

She confessed that there would be "no purpose" to making a record after a decade-long break from music if she didn't face "what it's been like" living without her sibling.

"So that's my truth, and I really worked hard to lyrically make sure that I'm just speaking about my experience, you know?" she said. "It's very hard to be a person who's like had their life exposed in the industry for 25 years, and we were talking about, you know, that earlier tiptoeing around, kind of what the outcome has been for some of it."

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:48:10 -0400

Ella Langley's fans rushed to her defense after the country star faced online backlash over her upcoming collaboration with Morgan Wallen.

The 26-year-old Alabama native and Wallen, 32, joined forces for the song "I Can't Love You Anymore," which will be released on Friday.

On Saturday, Langley made her debut as an opener on Wallen's "Still The Problem Tour" during his show in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Langley later returned to the stage, where she and Wallen surprised fans by announcing their collaboration and performed the duet for the first time.

"Now that she's collabing with Morgan Wallen we can assume she's MAGA so wdc [what the crap]," wrote one X user.

"Did you think a country singer from Alabama was not going to be MAGA? Hell Morgan Wallen is likely less right wing than her," another critic chimed in.

However, many of Langley and Wallen's fans swiftly came to their defense and blasted their critics.

"Morgan Wallen is not even MAGA. He's rejected invitations to perform for Trump. He even indicates in an album track that he doesn't support either party lol," one fan wrote.

"They are just sad miserable ppl," another added. "Pretty sad they can’t support Ella on this generational run she’s on."

"Who cares bama girl on top," one fan wrote.

"I’m so sick of people politicizing f---ing everything," another chimed in. "Can we just enjoy a collab between two solid country artists without everyone f---ing crying about it, PLEASE?!"

Other fans predicted that "I Can't Love You Anymore" would become a major hit for the duo.

Country singer Drake White describes ‘gunshot’ moment his brain ruptured mid-concert: ‘I knew I was dying’

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 08:00:29 -0400

Drake White is lucky to be alive after suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke that nearly killed him in 2019.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the 42-year-old country star — currently on tour with Riley Green — opened up about the life-changing moment, reflected on how speaking with God during his near-death experience shaped his recovery and emphasized the importance of leaning on faith during challenging times.

Before hitting the road with Zach Brown in 2019, White — who was 35 years old at the time — was diagnosed with a rare brain condition called arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Having already undergone four surgeries, White said the percentage of a rupture was less than 1%. So he took the chance.

But his worst nightmare happened while doing something he loved the most: performing.

"We just took the stage in Roanoke, Virginia. It was probably 98 degrees and cotton candy skies, beautiful, 2,500 people out there. And I tore into three or four songs and I just felt a tick," White said. "And I felt my left arm, my fingers tingling, kind of numbness. And then I heard a, I call it a gunshot. It literally sounded like an audible gunshot behind my left ear. And when it snapped, if you look at the video back you can see me trying to push through it."

"I grew up in Alabama where you just kind of keep pushing, keep going, and I tried to do that, and I couldn't speak," he continued. "I couldn't think, and the cotton candy sky became the grass, and the grass became the sky. Everything flipped upside down... Everything slowed way down, and it just felt like I was walking in quicksand, and everything was heavy. My left arm was heavy, my left foot was heavy, and I knew right then, I was like, 'Well, dang, I'm having a stroke.'"

White said he recalled his doctors warning him of a possible rupture due to his condition.

"They told me, if it ruptures, that you would have a very good chance of, you know, death," he said. "Death was kind of it. And so I just remember, keep breathing and keep praying and just keep, keep, breathing and get me to the hospital."

White was immediately rushed to a local hospital and was administered a coagulant that stopped the brain bleed.

"That ultimately saved my life, but in that process, [I] saw angels, saw the whole near-death experience, talked to God, the whole thing," he said. "And it just, it humbled me down to my knees. I realized that rock bottom had a basement. It really got me to a spot where I didn't know if I was gonna survive. And I just remember, keep breathing, keep rocking and keep going."

At the time, the country music star was left in a paralyzed state and unsure of his future.

"All of that paralyzed my left side and completely left me in a paralytic situation on my left," he said. "And that was when the mental battle started."

"The doctors came in and told me that I'd had a hemorrhagic stroke and that I had a long road ahead of me," he continued. "And that I would be lucky, they didn't say this, but I heard them murmuring that I'll be lucky to walk again, much less get back on stage."

"That's when my world kind of crashed in around me of like, 'I've put so much time into this, and I've been so passionate about it. What am I going to do now? I've got a bed pan and I can't even feed myself.'"

During his recovery, White leaned heavily on his friends, family and, most importantly, his faith.

It was during his near-death experience that he had a "very peaceful" and real interaction with God.

"My faith, I like to describe it like this. The sun feels different on my cheek than it does on your cheek," he said. "That is fate for me. I am a Jesus-following guy that believes in that wholeheartedly. Met him, saw him, talked to him. It's as real as me and you talking right now... He was like, 'What's going on? Tell me what's up.' It was the most peaceful I'd ever been in my life in that moment."

"I was not scared, I was just not. It's just like a transition," he continued. "I could feel it. It was palpable. You know what I mean? I could touch it. It's not this, like, cosmic psychedelic thing. I mean, for some people it might be because the sun feels different. But whatever faith is for you, it meets you where you are. It meets you where you are in a hospital bed or in a car wreck or whatever it is. It met me where I was."

"I can't say what it does for anybody. But I am a man of faith. I believe in the Christian values. I believe in the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. I believe all this," he added. "I choose to believe it... It gave me so much peace. It was the most peaceful I've ever been."

White has also leaned on modern medicine throughout his recovery and credits an electrical stimulation device developed by Bioness Medical that has helped him regain control of his left side.

"I put this [device] on, and it measures your gait of your walk," White explained. "And when you're coming through, it pulses an electro current. And it shocks that muscle that controls your dorsiflexion, that controls my foot, it controls my quad. That sends a signal to my brain, the part of my brain that was affected by the stroke."

"So I'm walking, I'm performing, I am working out with this Bioness device, and it's forming, it's firing these electronic pulses, and it is firing to my brain, 'Hey lift your foot up.' So it's healing me as we're speaking."

Amid the healing, White and his wife, Alex, were hit with another tragedy six years after his stroke.

In September 2025, the couple — who are parents to a 3-year-old son — announced the death of their newborn daughter, Della Elizabeth.

"On Sunday, August 31st our precious daughter, Della Elizabeth White, went peacefully to be with Jesus. We are so thankful for the holy moments God gave us with her," the couple captioned a joint Instagram post.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. -Psalm 34:18," the couple wrote.

"I am dying from my grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Misery has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within. But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, 'You are my God!' My future is in your hands. -Psalm 31:10, 14-15," they shared.

For White, having faith is "an honor."

"We're here. It's 2026. And no matter what the news says, this is the best time to be alive, because it's the only time you have a choice," he told Fox News Digital. "This is not your choice. You're alive now. And I chose the victor and not the victim. And that is a good place to be. And every now and then, I'll get into the victim world and I have to get out of it. And that's when faith and people come in."

Sarah Ferguson is hoping 'to evaporate like mist' as she's seen for the first time in 7 months: expert

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:00:17 -0400

Sarah Ferguson has been spotted for the first time in seven months hiding out at a luxe Austrian ski resort.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ex-wife has been living in exile since she was stripped of her Duchess of York title last year. Just last month, Ferguson was stripped of her Freedom of the City of York honor.

On April 15, Ferguson was seen keeping a low profile in a jacket and a blue baseball hat.

Helena Chard, a British royal expert, told Fox News Digital that she believes friends are coming to her aid and funding her life during this time.

She was spotted at a luxe ski chalet that goes for $2,700 a night, according to The Times.

"Incognito, anxious Fergie is keeping a low profile. She cannot believe how low she has sunk although, contrary to people’s thoughts, she is not destitute. Friends have stepped in to whisk her away from her stress," she said.

FORMER PRINCE ANDREW’S DAUGHTERS WON’T ATTEND EASTER SERVICE AS ‘YORK BRAND’ DEEMED ‘TOXIC’: EXPERT

Chard continued, "Viewed as generous to a fault, Fergie is reportedly being helped by those who are repaying the favor and helping her slip away from the press. Although Austria is known as a hotspot for wealthy patrons who host royals and ex royals… either way, the assumption is someone else is picking up the tab."

Ian Pelham Turner, royal broadcaster, pointed out that Ferguson used to work in the area as a chalet maid and nanny, so she could be staying with a former client or a friend. "At the moment, Andrew is I am sure, aware of the situation but keeping his distance so as not to betray her hideaway," he said.

Chard explained that Austria is giving Ferguson the privacy to dodge U.S. politicians who want her to testify against former Prince Andrew and his connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

FORMER PRINCE ANDREW REFUSES TO LEAVE TEMPORARY HOME, DEMANDS UPGRADES MEET ‘ROYAL STANDARDS’: EXPERT

"What’s next for Fergie? She may hope to evaporate like mist whilst juggling her alleged burner phones, however I fear she will now be under immense scrutiny," Chard said. "Fergie’s reputation rehab is nowhere near on the cards. Keeping her distance during Andrew’s legal heat and away from media pressure is completely tactical."

Hilary Fordwich, British royals expert, told Fox News Digital that Ferguson is "terrified" after seeing what's happened to her ex-husband.

"She is no doubt terrified because she has seen what has happened to Andrew. She was aware of everything as all of her correspondence has actually proven the way she backtracked and was trying to play both sides," Fordwich said. "Needless to say, at a minimum, authorities will want to speak to her as to what exactly she did know."

Amanda Matta, royal commentator, told Fox News Digital there is no way of knowing who exactly is funding Ferguson's lifestyle.

"The choice of an Austrian ski resort could be linked to whoever is helping to support Sarah, but really, we have no idea who finances her lifestyle. That seems to be one of the reasons that the king is keen to keep Andrew close by on royal property: so that he doesn’t become compromised by an outside funding source," Matta said.

Richard Fitzwilliams, royal expert, believes Ferguson's latest sighting shows "no future" for the disgraced royal.

"There appears to be no future for Sarah Ferguson. She was never previously short of ideas. If a publisher wanted to gain notoriety by publishing one of her books, there’s nothing to stop them. However, charities won’t touch her," he said.

Ferguson previously faced scrutiny for accepting money from Epstein around 2010. Ferguson later acknowledged this was a serious error in judgment and apologized, stating she regretted the association.

Cher files for conservatorship again, cites son’s drug use and 'no concept of money'

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 20:05:44 -0400

Cher filed a petition for a temporary conservatorship over her son and claimed his life has "significantly deteriorated" since a prior request was proposed in 2023, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

The "I Got You Babe" singer claimed Elijah Blue Allman has "no concept of money" and almost exclusively spends funds on "drugs, expensive hotels, and limousine transportation."

Allman is currently in custody at a "psychiatric hospital" in New Hampshire on multiple criminal charges stemming from arrests in February and March.

Her request for a conservatorship over her son is the second attempt in three years to receive a court order.

CHER'S SON ARRESTED TWICE IN ONE WEEKEND ON BURGLARY AND ASSAULT CHARGES IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

Cher acknowledged that Elijah is entitled to regular distributions from a trust, but expressed concerns that his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues prevent her son from making reasonable decisions.

"After he receives his trust distribution, he checks into a hotel, usually the Chateau Marmont, buys and does drugs until he runs out of money, ends up in the hospital, or overdoses," documents stated.

"Based on this pattern, if Elijah were to receive his trust distribution, he will use it [to] buy drugs."

Cher argued that in order to avoid the proposed conservatorship in 2023, Elijah conceded to an inability to responsibly manage his finances, and claimed he was hiring a business manager in addition to relying on his spouse "for his betterment and recovery."

TOMMY LEE JONES FILED CONSERVATORSHIP PETITION FOR DAUGHTER VICTORIA 2 YEARS BEFORE SUSPECTED OVERDOSE

His defense, Cher claimed, turned out to be "nothing more than words."

"Not only did the proposed conservatee not hire a business manager, but he, as explained in detail below has lived wildly beyond his means and continued to go to expensive hotels he cannot afford," she wrote.

"Frankly, those problems are just the tip of the iceberg."

Allman's estranged wife, Marieangela King, is "not a viable option for support" and would only reappear for a proceeding if it were "financially advantageous" for her, documents stated.

King is now also a "major creditor" of Allman after a court awarded her $6,500 per month in spousal support retroactive to July 1, 2025, in addition to a $10,000 legal bill.

Cher claimed the only support her son has received is from "longtime friend Kayti Pease, who by all accounts, has kept him alive."

However, Elijah has "caused Kayti significant emotional and financial loss," the petition stated. "Without the financial support of Kayti and others, the proposed conservatee would not have any money to pay for any of the massive damages he has recently caused."

A summer of "known problems" Elijah has caused or faced in the last year included thousands of dollars in damages to 14 Airbnb's rented for her son in Kayti's name.

"The most recent Airbnb stay, Elijah caused over $50,000 in damages and landed Kayti in a lawsuit with Airbnb," according to the request. "Elijah has been thrown out of a total of 18 hotels because he has made guests feel uncomfortable, screaming obscenities, and acting erratically.

"In sum, Elijah's situation has become dire on multiple fronts. His mental health has severely deteriorated, his financial situation is terrible, and his drug dependency is at its worst."

Jason Rubin petitioned as a professional fiduciary to be appointed conservator over Allman. Documents showed his license expires in January 2027 and that prior to his affiliation with the case, he had no prior relationship with the proposed conservatee, his family or friends.

Cher's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Allman, 49, was charged in March with burglary, two counts of criminal mischief and breach of bail stemming from a residential break-in involving forced entry in New Hampshire.

Days before, on Feb. 27, Allman was arrested at a New Hampshire private high school and charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening.

'Hunger Games' star was called a ‘monster’ after admitting he’s not a fan of Taylor Swift's music

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 18:00:35 -0400

A brief comment about Taylor Swift turned into a flood of online criticism for Josh Hutcherson.

The negative experience is a key reason the "Hunger Games" star keeps his distance from the internet.

"I got some heat because I did a photo shoot with Jordan, and Jordan asked me something about being a [Taylor Swift fan], and I was like, ‘Oh no, I’m definitely not a Swiftie,’" he recalled in an interview with GQ, referring to his co-star Jordan Firstman.

"All of a sudden it garnered this, ‘F--k him! He’s a monster! Destroy him! He’s short! He hates her because he’s short!’ It’s just like, whoa! I think she’s great. Her music is not my kind of music. That is why I don’t want to be online."

GEORGE CLOONEY SLAMS CELEBRITY DIVAS, CREDITS KENTUCKY ROOTS FOR KEEPING HIM GROUNDED

Fox News Digital has reached out to a rep for Swift for comment.

He added that increased visibility can be "counterintuitive" to acting, arguing that when audiences know him too well, it becomes harder to disappear into a role.

"I don’t need that energy," he told the outlet about internet virality. "It’s counterintuitive to my job, because if people know you more, you can’t disappear into characters. They see you as, ‘Oh, that’s Josh.’ You know what I mean? So, if you’re a f-----g meme, people know you for the meme."

Hutcherson grew up far from Hollywood in Kentucky before breaking into the industry as a child actor. The now 33-year-old quickly gained attention in the 2007 film "Bridge to Terabithia," but it was his casting as Peeta Mellark in "The Hunger Games" franchise that cemented him as a household name.

Instead of embracing social media, Hutcherson never made it a priority. Years later, he found himself thrust into the social media spotlight while promoting his latest TV show, "I Love LA."

"Being thrust out again in the world and online in such a big way, doing a bunch of press and being on TikTok, all those things made me feel very exposed," Hutcherson told GQ. "I started to get a lot of anxiety about it."

The "Five Nights at Freddys" star admitted even after all these years, he still struggles with "those same insecurities" he had as a young teen in the industry. The rosacea, the acne, his height, "haven’t gone away."

"I think I’ve learned how to cope and accept that these are my genetics," he told the outlet. "This is what I have."

As Hutcherson continues working to reintroduce himself to audiences following his "Hunger Games" fame, he's taken on darker projects, including "57 Seconds" alongside Morgan Freeman and "Future Man."

Hutcherson explained he feels "really good right now, like I’m owning myself and who I am and what I look like."

"That could change tomorrow," he added. "I could wake up and find out that some other guy got cast for a role that I wanted. Maybe he’s taller. That can trigger all that s---. It’s easier to keep a tiger in a cage than on a leash. So I’m trying to keep it in the cage, but it is trying to get out sometimes."

‘Euphoria’ slammed as ‘fetish slop’ as backlash explodes and fans call for cancellation

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:18:42 -0400

"Euphoria" fans have called for the highly anticipated show to be scrapped altogether as the first two episodes left viewers stunned.

The hit HBO show ignited a wave of backlash as fans labeled the first two episodes of season three as shocking and "disturbing" content.

"euphoria should've just been cancelled and over with tbh it's tiring seeing sam levinson turn the girls into worthless prostitutes for every single episode just say you hate women and pack this s----y doomed show up," a user wrote on X.

"i honestly think they jus [sic] didn't know what to do with euphoria and that's why the plot was lost so bad," another user wrote. "it had so much potential and so many different story lines to dive into to keep the story true to different teenage struggles. now it's just fetish SLOP."

SYDNEY SWEENEY’S ‘EUPHORIA’ RETURN SPARKS BACKLASH AS FANS SLAM ‘HUMILIATING’ STORYLINE

Fans specifically took aim at Sydney Sweeney's storyline for the second week in a row. Sweeney's portrayal of Cassie Howard has focused largely on the character's desire to start an OnlyFans account in order to pay for an extravagant wedding she plans to have with fiancé Nate Jacobs, played by Jacob Elordi.

"I've no words for Sydney, this scene [is] actually terrible," a user wrote about the scene where Sweeney's character poses as an "adult baby" for her OnlyFans content.

Fox News Digital reached out to HBO for comment.

Last week, users were quick to claim the show's creator was "humiliating" Sweeney with the OnlyFans storyline.

"Sydney Sweeney in season 3 is literally just humiliating her. I don't get how they don't see that it's not about this, her role is reduced to basically HUMILIATING HER, she's not gonna win any awards like that," one user wrote on X, before referencing a future scene. "They dress her like a baby, pretending to be a baby with a pacifier for what?"

"I thought it was AI but it's real, my God, what did they do to Sydney Sweeney in the third season of Euphoria?" another added.

"The way the director sexualizes all these girls for this show is very disturbing to me and like I will never watch Euphoria that being one of the main reasons," another wrote.

Others defended Sweeney, pointing out the show has always been risqué.

"Girl, it's called acting," one commenter wrote in response to the user who called it a humiliation ritual. "Sydney's playing a messy character on a show that's always been wild and unhinged. If it was too much for her she wouldn't have signed on. People acting shocked like they haven't seen 'Euphoria' before lol."

One user acknowledged that all of the backlash may do little to dent the show’s popularity.

"the sad thing about euphoria is that we're all gonna keep watching it no matter how many f----d up fantasies sam levinson injects into the show. as long as the ratings are good HBO doesn't give a F--K," the user wrote.

Premiering in 2019, "Euphoria" is the show that helped launch and solidify the careers of many cast members — including Sweeney, Elordi and Zendaya.

The dark suburban teen drama has also featured more established figures like Colman Domingo, who has received two Best Actor Oscar nominations in the last few years, and the late Eric Dane. And it’s given visibility and recognition to other actors: Hunter Schafer, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow and Barbie Ferreira. Angus Cloud, another of its breakout performers, died in 2023.

Christina Applegate addresses health concerns after reported hospitalization

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 16:13:14 -0400

Christina Applegate returned to social media Monday with gratitude for her loved ones.

Applegate, 54, spoke out on Instagram after dodging speculation she was hospitalized. The "Married… With Children" actress was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021.

"Thank you for the outpouring of love and well wishes," Applegate shared online. "Health issues are a constant for me, but I’m a strong chick and I’m getting stronger and better every day."

"For three years, since I was diagnosed, I’ve been in the hospital upwards of 30 times from throwing up and diarrhea and pain," she said. "That is unimaginable, OK? They’ve done every test known to man on me, put so much radiation into my body from CT scans to everything else."

"One of the things with MS is that it slows down our organs, you know, not like completely, but there is a slowing of the function of your organs. I have noticed that — and I’m going to be really honest — if I have to poop, I puke."

"My neuro doesn’t — God bless her — says that’s not an MS thing," Applegate added. "So, I’m sorry, there’s got to be a correlation here, and I’m not a doctor. I’m not giving medical advice. I’m just saying, just think about that, OK? Because I’m in the middle of the same exact situation, and it f------ sucks, and it’s scary."

The "Dead to Me" actress — who recently became a best-selling author with her memoir, "You With the Sad Eyes" — recently admitted that her diagnosis often impacted her ability to parent her 15-year-old daughter Sadie.

"I want to take her [to school and activities]; it’s my favorite thing to do," Applegate told People magazine. "It’s the only time we have together by ourselves. I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed.’ And that’s what I do."

Because of limitations, Applegate said she feels more free to be unapologetically herself.

Ted Danson's early romance with Mary Steenburgen included a high-stakes moment at the White House.

Danson, 78, recalled an intense one-on-one with then-President Bill Clinton that centered around the actor's "intentions" with Steenburgen — a close, personal friend of the Clintons.

"One of the first things she did was take me to meet her dear friends in the White House," Danson recalled while moderating a History Talks panel alongside Bill and Hillary Clinton, according to Variety. "Bill — Mr. President — took me around the corner, and there were three Secret Service agents behind him, all of them looking at me. The president asked me what my intentions were."

"My first question is to you, Mr. President: Do you think that was fair?" the "Cheers" star quipped.

Brooke Hogan says ‘I could have saved you’ in haunting regret after Hulk Hogan’s death

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:00:33 -0400

HGTV’s "Rock the Block" promises big builds and bigger personalities — but for Brooke Hogan, the new season is also marked by something deeply personal: life after the loss of her father, Hulk Hogan.

Nine months after the death of the wrestling legend, Brooke spoke with Fox News Digital and revealed the painful regrets and unanswered questions that still haunt her.

"I talk to my dad every day and… I'm like, ‘What in the heck were you doing? I just wish I was there because you would still be here today. I have this feeling in me that, like, I could have saved you,' but it's that saying… ‘if love would have saved you, you'd be alive today’ because of how much love I have for him," she said.

When Brooke was asked what she would say to her father today if she could speak to him, she said, "I'm so glad you're out of pain."

"He was in so much pain, so much, pain. And I'm glad that I get to have, I hate to say this, but almost an even better relationship with him now, where I can, like, talk to him honestly."

On July 24, 2025, the WWE icon, born Terry Gene Bollea, died at age 71 after suffering a cardiac event at his Florida home. Brooke was estranged from her father at the time of his death.

"And the only thing that sucks is that I just will never have answers. I'll never get to ask the questions I wanted to ask," she told Fox News Digital. "I tried even when he was alive. I tried to have conversations, and he was like, ‘I'm not talking about that.’… He didn't ever want to be soft."

BROOKE HOGAN EXPLAINS DECISION TO SKIPS HULK HOGAN'S FUNERAL SERVICE: 'PEOPLE GRIEVE IN MANY WAYS'

Brooke recently took to social media to upload a black-and-white illustration of her father holding her in his arms, a stark image that underscored the bond she said never faded, even in loss.

Alongside it, she wrote a single line that captured the depth of her grief: "If my love could have saved you, you would have lived forever."

Despite that emotional distance, Brooke said her connection to her father hasn’t disappeared.

"I’m honest with him now, and I talk to him all the time, even if that seems like I’m a cuckoo bird," she told Fox News Digital. "If he showed up today, I would just be like, ‘I love you so much, and I wish you would have just let me in.’"

The emotional toll of their estrangement has also surfaced in her professional life.

While filming the new season of "Rock the Block," Brooke found herself questioning whether her father truly understood the life she had built on her own.

"[It's] tough because, obviously, my dad and I weren't really speaking prior to his death — not because I didn't love him… it's that he had become a little bit calloused in the direction he was going in his life and the people he was surrounding himself with," she said.

"I am the daughter that wanted to save him. And it's kind of like, you can try to save somebody and if they don't want to be saved… it's a tough position to be in."

Brooke said moments during filming forced her to confront lingering insecurities about whether her father ever fully grasped her independence and success.

"I don't think he ever really understood the business that I had built… I don't really think he fully understood just how hard it was to build from the ground up with nobody's help by myself," she said. "So, getting ‘Rock the Block’ was like a huge… medal for me… in that moment I was like, ‘I wonder if he knows what a big deal this is.’"

Joseph Duggar’s own words could come back to haunt him in child molestation case: experts

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 08:00:50 -0400

Joseph Duggar may face one of the most damaging forms of evidence in court — his own admission — after investigators said he acknowledged impure intentions in discussions about alleged contact with a minor.

Duggar is set to appear in court Monday in the ongoing criminal case against him.

A Florida affidavit, obtained by Fox News Digital, revealed that the case against the former reality TV star may hinge not just on a victim’s account, but on his own words. According to investigators, Duggar admitted to inappropriate contact with a minor during both a confrontation with the victim’s father and a subsequent recorded call coordinated with law enforcement, acknowledging his "intentions were not pure."

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani emphasized the admission could be "highly relevant and damaging" to any defense put forth by Duggar's team.

JOSEPH DUGGAR'S WIFE SOBS IN JAIL CALL AFTER LOSING CUSTODY OF FOUR KIDS FOLLOWING COUPLE'S ARRESTS

"It is evidence of intent, the victim, and the timing of the alleged abuse," Rahmani told Fox News Digital. "His lawyers will try to argue that it is too vague and attenuated and try to get it excluded on that basis. I don't think they will be successful because the statement was made in the context of Duggar also admitting to inappropriate touching under a blanket. A judge is unlikely to separate the two statements, and this is why pretext calls like this can be so powerful if they lead to incriminating evidence."

Duggar, who starred with his parents and siblings in TLC's "19 Kids and Counting," was arrested on March 18 in Arkansas. His arrest came after authorities interviewed a 14-year-old girl who claimed Duggar had inappropriately touched her several times on a family vacation when she was 9 years old.

Florida Judge Brantley Clark ordered the reality TV star held on $600,000 bond after he pleaded not guilty during his first appearance in Bay County Court on March 31. He posted bail later that day.

The affidavit filed in Bay County outlined more specific allegations about the interactions during that 2020 trip.

"During the vacation, the defendant asked the victim to sit on his lap, numerous times," the document read. "The victim would sit on the defendant’s lap. The defendant would cradle the victim with his arms. As the vacation continued, the defendant would ask the victim to sit on the couch beside the defendant. The defendant covered the parties with a blanket."

According to the investigation, the alleged victim, who was 9 years old at the time, claimed Duggar inappropriately touched her genitals and her thighs.

"The victim stated the defendant’s hand was outside of her underwear when these incidents occurred," the affidavit said. "The victim stated this made her feel uncomfortable and confused. The victim stated the defendant eventually approached the victim and apologized for his actions. The incidents stopped occurring after the defendant apologized for his actions."

Legal experts explained Duggar's own words in the affidavit could become a key point of contention as the case moves forward.

"‘My intentions were not pure’ is the kind of statement prosecutors love because they can frame it as a confession without the defendant ever fully confessing," criminal defense attorney Duncan Levin told Fox News Digital. "It gives them language they can put in front of a jury and say, in effect, he told you himself. But from a defense standpoint, that phrase is still frustratingly vague."

"It is not a clear admission to a criminal act," Levin, who previously defended Harvey Weinstein, added. "It could reflect shame, sinful thoughts or inappropriate intent, but criminal cases are supposed to turn on proof of conduct, not ambiguous language. The defense strategy would be to argue that prosecutors are trying to turn a morally charged but indefinite statement into something far more specific than it actually is, and to insist that the state prove the charged conduct with concrete evidence rather than asking jurors to fill in the gaps."

While the admission of impure intentions when it comes to a minor child might convict Duggar in the court of public opinion, one legal expert noted there's a different standard when it comes to the courtroom.

"The public hears language like this and frequently forms conclusions about guilt before any evidence is presented," Tom Maronick told Fox News Digital. "However, a jury is held to a different standard. The legal system operates on facts, statutory elements, and provable evidence, not public sentiment or emotional interpretation."

"A single ambiguous statement, unsupported by corroborating criminal conduct, represents a significant gap between accusation and conviction," the criminal law attorney said. "That distinction is essential in criminal defense."

Duggar's defense strategy will likely focus on two things: the context in which the statement was made and how it was obtained, according to Maronick. The lawyer noted the statement could be suppressed in court if it was obtained through leading questions, a prolonged interrogation or coercive tactics.

"Beyond that, the core argument is straightforward, saying something is fundamentally different from doing something," Maronick explained. "Intent language without proof of actual criminal conduct falls short of what is required for conviction."

Johnny Knoxville shocks suburbs with epic explosion that Southern California locals mistook for plane crash

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 22:09:47 -0400

Johnny Knoxville played chaos agent in Southern California over the weekend.

A "double explosion" was captured on film outside of a dog park by a Simi Valley local, only for social media users to discover that Knoxville was behind the blast.

"Apparently people thought a plane had crashed yesterday in Simi Valley," Knoxville said in a @joeknowsventura clip shared online.

"Little did they know it was from a monstrous explosion @jemfxpopov created for us for the final day ever of @jackass filming."

A large plume of smoke was seen rising behind the hillside where Big Sky Movie Ranch operates just before the sunset in suburbia.

Big Sky has served as the filming location for a number of films and television shows, including, "Little House on the Prairie," "Gunsmoke," "Wild Bill," and "Quantum Leap."

"We were standing near the explosion and couldn’t believe what we were seeing," Knoxville wrote online. "Immediately after the entire cast went and hugged @jemfxpopov’s neck.

"Thank you to Elia, his crew and the rest of our amazing crew yesterday to make sure we went out with a bang. 26 years and that’s a wrap!!"

Knoxville added, "Coming to theater June 26th, Jackass: Best and Last."

The long-running and often controversial stunt series first debuted on MTV in 2000 and ran for three seasons while amassing a cult following and six feature films.

Knoxville spoke too soon last year when he said the fifth film would be the last.

"This will be the last one. This is the natural place to end," Knoxville told Rolling Stone at the time. "So it’s going to be absolutely awful."

His future plans included a lot of the same things he's responsible for day-to-day: "Be a dad, play with our crazy dog, hang out with my wife, work a little."

He attempted to lower the standards for fans going into the fifth movie, and said he couldn't do another film where he gets "another concussion."

Natasha Lyonne jokes her plane removal was a ‘performance art piece’ after bizarre incident

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 21:28:52 -0400

Natasha Lyonne is taking a lighthearted approach while speaking out about the incident that led to her being removed from a flight last week.

The 47-year-old actress was escorted off a plane in Los Angeles after reportedly being unresponsive to crew members' requests. Lyonne later addressed reports of her removal from the aircraft, explaining that she took the sleep medication Lunesta after boarding the red-eye flight and also claiming that she had been briefly detained by ICE.

During a recent interview with Page Six, the "Euphoria" star joked when she was asked how she was doing following the mishap.

"Oh, you mean my flight plans? My performance art piece?" Lyonne said on Wednesday at the Planned Parenthood of Greater New York’s Spring Into Action Gala.

NATASHA LYONNE CLAIMS ICE "DETAINED" HER AFTER BEING ESCORTED OFF PLANE

"It’s been a doozy," Lyonne admitted.

The "Orange is the New Black" alum went on to tell the outlet that she was "grateful to be somewhat of a ‘Marathon Man'" and noted that she has taken three flights without issue since the incident.

"I do seem to show up on time, hit those marks, despite it all," she said. "But yeah, it’s a kooky moment, kooky times."

On April 7, Lyonne was removed from a Delta Air Lines plane after she reportedly appeared to be "out of it" while sitting in first class and flight attendants were unable to get a response from her during preflight checks.

ACTOR AND FORMER 'SNL' STAR SLAMS MAJOR AIRLINE FOR HIS SEAT DOWNGRADE: ‘I PAID FOR FIRST CLASS’

Crew members sought assistance and the plane returned to the gate, where she was escorted off. In an X post on April 10, Lyonne later spoke out about reports of the incident, which took place after she attended the season three premiere of "Euphoria" in Los Angeles.

"Indeed, I took a Lunesta once seated, to ensure some shut eye on the Delta One red-eye flight to NYC," she wrote on X. She explained that she boarded the flight with nothing more than a backpack and sneakers, "eager for a nap."

Lyonne said her plan was to "be bushy tailed & beauty rested," as she was scheduled to head straight to an appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show" after landing. She went on to allege that she was "detained" by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

"Was looking forward to seeing Drew & an in depth convo, but I guess ICE had other plans & I was detained instead. Sign of the times, I guess," Lyonne wrote in part.

In a statement to Variety, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security denied Lyonne’s claims.

"Neither ICE nor TSA escorted or detained Natasha Lyonne," the representative said.

The actress also clarified that she’s had no issues with Delta or TSA in the past, and added, "Heart is with our unpaid @TSA workers. Apologies to any travelers who were delayed."

Fox News Digital has reached out to Delta Air Lines for comment.

While speaking with Page Six, Lyonne brushed off being described as a "survivor" by the outlet.

"I don’t know if it’s been [more] wild a ride [than] anyone else," The "Russian Doll" star said. "I look down and see my own two feet, so I assume I’m where I’m meant to be."

"We’re all living in wild times," she added. "And we’re all doing our best."

In January, Lyonne publicly revealed that she had experienced a relapse following a decade of sobriety.

"Took my relapse public more to come," Lyonne wrote in part on X. "Recovery is a lifelong process. Anyone out there struggling, remember you’re not alone. Grateful for love & smart feet."

During her interview with Page Six, Lyonne reflected on her decision to speak out about relapsing.

"I think, ultimately, someone who is a recovery person, we’re as sick as our secrets," she said. "I don’t feel ashamed to be a real human being.

"I feel it’s important to tell the truth as best we can," Lyonne added. "It’s been an interesting journey."

The "Russian Doll" actress shared a hopeful update in an X post last month, writing, "Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet."

"Want to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive," she continued. "Aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense. My heart is with everyone ever going through it."

Lyonne also later poked fun at her plane incident while honoring Pink during the Planned Parenthood gala.

"Talk about a legend," Lyonne said of Pink.

"She, like me, does not put up with people telling her what to do, how to act, or what to say, or when to fly," Lyonne joked as the audience clapped and cheered.

"But made three flights since then," she added. "Eat my shorts."

The Strokes end Coachella weekend two set with politically charged video targeting CIA and US government

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 19:12:59 -0400

The Strokes appeared to take aim at the U.S. government during Coachella weekend two, ending their set with a politically charged video montage.

The American rock band concluded their main stage performance on Saturday night with their 2016 song "Oblivius" as imagery played on the screens behind them that referenced alleged CIA-backed regime change overseas, the death of Martin Luther King Jr. and bombings in Gaza and Iran.

The video depicted a sequence of world leaders it suggested were overthrown by the CIA including Iranian Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz in 1954, Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba in 1961, Chilean President Salvador Allende in 1973 and Bolivian President Juan José Torres in 1976.

The montage featured an image of King along with text that read, "US Govt found guilty of his murder in civil trial."

DROPKICK MURPHYS TAKE AIM AT TRUMP AND ICE WITH REWRITTEN LYRICS, 'SHIP THEM OUT OF BOSTON'

The statement appeared to refer to the 1999 civil case King v. Jowers, in which a jury found that King's assassination was the result of a conspiracy that included government entities. A 2000 Department of Justice review found no credible evidence that U.S. government agencies were involved in King’s assassination and rejected claims of a broader conspiracy.

The video also displayed images depicting slavery and the Black Lives Matter protests along with foreign political figures, including Ecuadorian President Jaime Roldós and Panamanian leader Omar Torrijos, both of whom died in separate plane crashes in 1981. Text that followed the images claimed that the CIA was "suspected" of involvement in the crashes.

The montage concluded with footage of U.S. military strikes in Iran and Israeli attacks in Gaza. A clip of a demolished building was displayed as text appeared over it that read, "Over 30 universities destroyed in Iran."

The video then cut to a controlled demolition of a large building in Gaza, which was accompanied by the caption, "Last university standing in Gaza" before it showed a fighter jet and faded to black.

The band's Coachella performance of "Oblivius", which features the chorus, "What side are you standing on?" marked the first time that The Strokes have performed the song since 2016 and the second time it has ever been played in concert.

The Strokes' performance, which took place on the main stage ahead of Justin Bieber's headlining act, was attended by thousands of festivalgoers and viewed by a global livestream audience watching through Coachella’s official YouTube broadcast.

After clips from the set went viral, it drew a mixed reaction from social media users with some praising The Strokes and expressing their views that the band would not be invited back to Coachella, while others slammed the performance's political messaging.

The band's Coachella weekend one performance on April 11 did not include "Oblivius" or the video montage. However, The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas made a few off-the-cuff political remarks onstage as he joked about a potential military draft.

"You guys excited about the draft? Oh, wait — not the NFL draft," Casablancas said, according to Rolling Stone.

"In six months, I think everyone who’s eligible is gonna have to register for the military," he told the crowd. "I hope to lead one of the Coachella units. The sexiest unit in our proud military, I’m sure."

There is currently no active military draft in the US. The U.S. last directed a military draft in 1972 during the Vietnam War. The active draft was ended six months later.

Casablancas has previously voiced his political views in interviews and onstage, often criticizing U.S. foreign policy and corporate power.

In a since-deleted Instagram post shared in November 2024, Casablancas shared that he had decided not to vote in the U.S. presidential election, which was won by President Donald Trump after he defeated Democratic nominee former Vice President Kamala Harris.

According to NME, Casablancas posted an image of "I protested" badge and referenced part of a conversation he said he had with his mother.

"Like I told her, I am thinking of my children. The 2 parties are a joke… a horrible lie. The military and oil companies and banks are who we are voting for – and the media is their propaganda/entertainment wing & with the way they cheated Bernie I see little point in choosing between these puppets… They want you to think it matters.

‘Your Friends & Neighbors’ star Jon Hamm admits he showed his real butt in nude scene

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 15:00:16 -0400

Jon Hamm is giving fans a look behind the curtain of his new show.

During a recent interview on "Radio Andy," the 55-year-old actor spoke about "Your Friends & Neighbors," more specifically about whether he used a butt double when his backside was on-screen for "the first six and a half minutes" of a Season 2 episode.

"It’s my real butt, I think," Hamm told the host.

When asked by hosts Andy Cohen and Jonah Hill, if he did anything to prepare for the scene, Hamm joked that he didn't do much and said that he was relying on post-production to smooth any blemishes during the editing process.

ED BURNS CREDITS 'TWO-WEEK RULE' WITH WIFE CHRISTY TURLINGTON FOR KEEPING THEIR 22-YEAR MARRIAGE STRONG

Hamm's role as Andrew Cooper in the hit Apple TV + show is by no means his first big gig in Hollywood, but there was a time after the actor first moved to Los Angeles when he struggled to find work.

"I wasn't working but I was auditioning like a million auditions and I kept getting called back," he said during an appearance on "In Depth with Graham Bensinger" in July 2025. "The idea of somebody saying like, 'Oh, I like you. You might not be for this thing, but you know, there's there's going to be another thing.' And so I had that kind of feedback from casting directors and producers and directors and people like that. And I was like, 'Okay.'"

He went on to say that "you have to have a pretty thick skin to do anything in this business" and that while there is sometimes a "rhyme or reason" to how things go, other times "you just get blind lucky."

Hamm spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about that period of time when he was struggling to book roles, saying he "just didn't fit."

"I was the guy who was 25 but looked 35. It’s like I fell between two barstools," he said. "I mean, I didn’t look like I was in high school when I was in high school. I don’t know if it was losing my parents, but I looked older."

He went on to explain that losing both of his parents at a younger age than most gives you "a different sensibility," and "a different outlook or approach to life," which makes you appear "older than your years." Hamm's mother died when he was about 10 and his father died when he was around 20 years old.

Hamm went on to land the lead role in the AMC series "Mad Men," when he was 35, playing Don Draper for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015. The role earned him 12 Emmy Award nominations, including one win, as well as six Golden Globe nominations with two wins.

"My friends that have parents that are still married or still alive, and it’s not a judgment either way, it’s just different," he explained. "It’s a different way of going through life, and I don’t really wear it on my sleeve, but obviously Matt picked up on that, and it worked for Don Draper, for sure. There was something haunted in Don."

He has since starred in a number of successful projects, including "Bridesmaids," "Fargo," "Landman" and others. When speaking about his success, Hamm has often called himself a late bloomer, telling AARP, "I’ve always been a half a generation behind all my friends in everything."

Despite success coming later in his life, he told Graham Bensinger in the 2025 podcast appearance, "I only know one way of how I've gotten to where I've gotten."

"I can't imagine what it would be like, especially now in an always-on kind of always hyperconnected, always oversharing way, what it would be like to have to manage success and a career and everything at in my 20s," he said. "I know I was not prepared for it. I look at these kids who are winning awards and being exceptional, and I think I could barely do my laundry when I was in my 20s. Like I just wasn't equipped."

Prior to moving to Los Angeles, Hamm spent 12 years working as a waiter in St. Louis, previously telling Wealthsimple that "working in a restaurant is a good life lesson for anybody."

The actor explained that his friend "used to say no one should be able to work in Hollywood if they haven’t worked in a restaurant" adding that it can quickly teach someone "what a difference a little bit of kindness and common courtesy can make for people."

"It’s important to know how to treat people, and to learn how to respond when someone you’re working with is having a bad day," he said. "Understanding other people’s problems is the cornerstone of the service industry, and it’s essential as an actor. Or whatever field you’re in."

He has found success in more ways than one. Following an episode of "Your Friends and Neighbors" in which his character can be seen letting loose in a club, the actor became a viral online meme.

Fans of the show took the clip, which features Hamm with an injured face closing his eyes and swaying to the music, and turned it into an online sensation, with captions such as "When life is falling apart but this song hits" and "Coping but make it aesthetic."

"Now, people don't realize I have several active injuries on my face. Where I've just been beaten up in the show, but I was having a moment in the club, and the first person to send me this meme was Brian Williams of all people," he told Jimmy Fallon on an episode of "The Tonight Show." "Who sent me a text and was like, ‘I think you should be aware of this.’"

Hamm, who has been known as "the internet's boyfriend" since his days on "Mad Men," married actress Anna Osceola, who is 17 years his junior, in June 2023.

The two first met in 2015 on the set of "Mad Men," but did not spark relationship rumors until 2020, ultimately making their red carpet debut in March 2022 at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. The couple now work together on "Your Friends and Neighbors."

"It was great to have my wife, Anna, come in and be a part of it," Hamm told People. "It's fun to go to work together. We get to bring the dog in as well sometimes, so that's nice. We save money on dog sitting."
