<p class="is-style-introduction">West Wilson&#8217;s house of cards is starting to tumble.</p>



<p>In September 2025, West slid into the DMs of Mia Alario from Southern Hospitality. This is right after he kissed Ciara and they had 2 sleepovers around this time. They ended up going on a date, and it was later revealed that West and Amanda pregamed together before the date. Mia publicly said nothing came of the date.</p>



<p>West slid into Mia&#8217;s DMs again this spring after the rumors started flying about West and Amanda. He said, “I’ve been off the internet but I’ve seen snippets of everything, and I’m sorry for getting you roped into all this.” In my opinion, this is West trying to start a conversation with Mia, not just apologizing. He wants her read on the situation. He probably wants her to comfort and validate him that he&#8217;ll come out of this looking okay. Mia says she thanked him for apologizing and encouraged him to continue staying off the internet.</p>



<p>Now, Mia&#8217;s castmates are casting doubt on her version of events. The preview for next week&#8217;s episode of Southern Hospitality shows Michols Peña accusing Mia of lying. He says Mia *did* sleep with West and even encouraged Salley Carson from Southern Charm to sleep with West because “the d was so good.”</p>



<p>Leva Bonaparte backs Michols up and says she was there when Mia allegedly said it.</p>



<p>The full conversation will be on the Southern Hospitality reunion airing next Wednesday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aquarius"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/aquarius/" data-type="link" data-id="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/aquarius/">Aquarius</a></h2>



<p>Unique and free-spirited, Aquarius loves who they are. They can count on themselves for comfort and support (even if they’ve been going through a rough patch). They often embrace their uniqueness, care for their needs, and love themselves through the good and bad.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="leo"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/leo/" data-type="link" data-id="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/leo/">Leo</a></h2>



<p>Leos know who they are and won’t ever lose sight of that. Charismatic and confident, they know how to be there for themselves. They’re proud of who they are and could never talk badly about themselves.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sagittarius"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/sagittarius/" data-type="link" data-id="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/sagittarius/">Sagittarius</a></h2>



<p>Optimistic with a never-ending sense of wonder, Sagittarius knows who they are. They’re wise beyond their years with a good head on their shoulders. They know happiness isn’t outside of them. They know how to take care of themselves physically and mentally. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aries"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/aries/" data-type="link" data-id="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/aries/">Aries</a></h2>



<p>Aries are bold and decisive risk-takers. They’re also optimistic people who always see the positive side of a situation. They are everything they need and know they are the most important person to have in their corner.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pisces"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/pisces/" data-type="link" data-id="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/pisces/">Pisces</a></h2>



<p>Deeply intuitive and spiritual, Pisces doesn&#8217;t care to find their worth in others. They&#8217;re one of the few signs who don&#8217;t mind being single because they value the love they have to give.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="gemini"><a href="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/gemini/" data-type="link" data-id="https://collective.world/zodiac-signs/gemini/">Gemini</a></h2>



<p>There is a world of knowledge in a Gemini. They’re social butterflies who will approach anyone who piques their interest. Their intelligence is what drives their self-assurance. No matter what comes their way, they can always rely on what they know. They take pride in their curiosity and ability to converse with anyone.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="is-style-introduction">According to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2026/05/28/trump-250-bill-pushed-by-treasury-appointees/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Washington Post report</a>, two Treasury political appointees, US Treasurer Brandon Beach and senior adviser Mike Brown, repeatedly pressured staff at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to prepare prototypes for a $250 banknote featuring Donald Trump&#8217;s portrait.</p>

<p>The mock-up reportedly showed Trump&#8217;s face in the center, with his signature and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent&#8217;s signature on the note. An artist involved in the design told the Post that Trump personally endorsed changes to it, including American flag colors and a 250th-anniversary logo.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" height="687" width="1024" src="https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1201511" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" srcset="https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png 2528w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png?resize=384,258 384w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png?resize=640,429 640w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png?resize=768,515 768w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png?resize=1024,687 1024w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png?resize=1536,1030 1536w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png?resize=2048,1374 2048w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/make_the_dollar_bill_size_look_Nano_Banana_2_53548.png?resize=1140,765 1140w" /></figure>



<p>Bureau staff raised two legal problems. Federal law allows only deceased people to appear on US currency, and a $250 denomination isn&#8217;t authorized without an act of Congress. Former bureau director Larry R. Felix told the Post a $250 note is &#8220;not statutorily authorized.&#8221;</p>

<p>Patricia &#8220;Patty&#8221; Solimene, the bureau director, told Beach and Brown the agency couldn&#8217;t proceed and that the process would take far longer than they expected. She was reassigned on April 27, 2026. Her farewell email said the move was &#8220;not my choice&#8221; and signed off with &#8220;the buck stopped here.&#8221;</p>



<p>Rep. Joe Wilson, a South Carolina Republican, introduced legislation in February 2025 to authorize the $250 Trump bill. It was referred to committee and hasn&#8217;t received a hearing.</p>



<p>Separately, the bureau has agreed to print $100 bills carrying Trump&#8217;s signature at its Washington facility. No law prohibits it, but it would be the first time a sitting president&#8217;s signature appeared on US currency.</p>



<p>The signature rollout is part of a wider set of currency moves under Trump. During his first term, his administration delayed the planned $20 redesign that would have replaced Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman, with Trump calling the change &#8220;pure political correctness.&#8221;</p>



<p>In his current term, the $100 signature (which drops the US Treasurer&#8217;s name for the first time since 1861) lands alongside a 24-karat gold commemorative coin bearing Trump&#8217;s portrait for the 250th anniversary, approved by Treasury and a Trump-appointed Commission of Fine Arts panel. Proposals have surfaced for a circulating $1 coin with his likeness, and Treasury has halted new penny production for circulation to cut costs.</p>



<p>The administration has also moved on broader currency and digital-asset policy, including efforts to counter foreign currency manipulation and the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve built from seized cryptocurrency.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a fan theory going around that perfectly explains West&#8217;s behavior &#8212; and Kyle and Lindsay say they believe it.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="is-style-introduction">There&#8217;s a fan theory going around that perfectly explains West&#8217;s behavior &#8212; and Kyle and Lindsay say they believe it.</p>



<p>The theory says that West saw a way to get a great edit as Amanda&#8217;s white knight and stepped up to play that role.</p>



<p>Here&#8217;s the full quote:</p>



<p>&#8220;West noticed a few weekends into the summer that Amanda was looking like the victim of a horrible marriage. He realizes she may come out of this season with the fame and opportunity akin to Ariana Madix. He then decides to lean into looking like a supportive friend and hero for Amanda so he can weasel his way into capitalizing on her after-season success. New network of opportunities unlocked. You cannot convince me otherwise.&#8221;</p>



<p>Lindsay responded to the theory &#8220;And bingo was his name-o!&#8221;</p>



<p>Kyle responded &#8220;Of all the &#8220;theories&#8221; this is what I believe. Just looked back and did a rewatch of my street interview on 4/1. I discuss this very concept and refer to him trying to be a knight in shining armor and saying what women want to hear in part 3 of Adam Glyn&#8217;s videos on TikTok. He hitched his wagon to Amanda and as someone referred to it on Reddit, &#8220;White-knighted too far.&#8221;</p>



<p>The &#8220;too far&#8221; aspect is that West may not have expected Amanda to actually fall for him. The last thing he wants is to be locked down, but he can&#8217;t think of a way to extricate himself from the relationship without looking like the bad guy. Amanda may have info on him (like when their relationship actually started) that is &#8220;mutually assured destruction&#8221;. She could take down his reputation and blow any future he has with Bravo fans up. So he has to do whatever she wants.</p>



<p>I also think that Amanda is the sugar mom in her relationship with West and promised to take him to Italy after the reunion as a way to get him to go along with her lies about them having a &#8220;PG&#8221; relationship.</p>



<p>What do you think?</p>

<p class="is-style-introduction">Surrendering fears for God’s peace, Karin Hadadan shares in her prayer for strength. In the same spirit, Rebecca Simon’s <em><strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4pjx5WM">Finding God Every Day</a></strong></em> reveals how God’s presence transforms struggles into deeper faith. Let this prayer draw you closer to God’s comfort. </p>



<p>Life can feel incredibly heavy right now, and the combined weight of fear, doubt, and hardship often becomes overwhelming. But these very struggles can be the path that leads us back to God. As we surrender to His faithful presence, may we find the peace, strength, and purpose that only His unwavering care can provide. <em>Let’s pray together.</em></p>

<p><strong>Dear God,</strong></p>



<p>I am struggling right now with fears, doubts and anxieties that weigh heavily upon me. I’ve tried to face these burdens alone, but today I surrender them to you completely. Please release this heaviness from my heart and fill that space with your peace. Help me recognize the purpose within these difficulties, transforming them into opportunities to deepen my faith in you and confidence in the strength you provide. Thank you for your faithful presence beside me, for upholding me with your righteous right hand when I can’t stand alone.</p>



<p><strong>Amen.</strong></p>

<p>God,</p>



<p>I&#8217;m tired of chasing. Tired of forcing. Tired of convincing myself that if I just try harder, it will work out. So today, I&#8217;m releasing my grip. I&#8217;m letting go of what I&#8217;ve been holding too tightly and trusting that what&#8217;s truly meant for me will find me — without me having to beg for it, manipulate it, or exhaust myself pursuing it.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized"><a href="https://amzn.to/4pjx5WM"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1080" height="1350" src="https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1163742" style="aspect-ratio:0.7999970533635855;width:670px;height:auto" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" srcset="https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM2.jpg 1080w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM2.jpg?resize=384,480 384w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM2.jpg?resize=640,800 640w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM2.jpg?resize=768,960 768w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Rebecca_Simon_Book_Meme_Let_Go_TrustGod_GAM2.jpg?resize=1024,1280 1024w" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">For more inspiration on ways to connect with God, <strong><a href="https://amzn.to/4pjx5WM">check out this books by Rebecca Simon</a></strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>If it&#8217;s the right relationship, let it come to me with clarity and peace, not confusion and chaos. If it&#8217;s the right opportunity, let it align without me having to force doors open that you&#8217;re clearly keeping closed. If it&#8217;s the right path, let it unfold naturally, not through my striving but through your orchestration.</p>

<p>God, help me trust that I don&#8217;t have to chase what&#8217;s mine. Help me believe that what belongs in my life won&#8217;t require me to lose myself to obtain it. Teach me the difference between faith and force, between stepping forward and pushing too hard. Let me rest in the truth that what&#8217;s meant for me is already on its way. I don&#8217;t have to hunt it down. I just have to be ready to receive it when it arrives.</p>



<p>Amen.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="is-style-intro-text">As the days grow longer and temperature increases, the air is charged with the promise of renewal and transformation. Spring is a season of awakening, inspiring individuals to shed old patterns and embrace new beginnings. Among the constellations, three zodiac signs stand out as beacons of change, ready to embark on transformative journeys before the arrival of summer.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aries">Aries</h2>



<p>Aries is fueled by passion and a thirst for adventure. As the trailblazer of the zodiac, they are always eager to seize the moment and forge ahead into uncharted territory. With boundless energy and enthusiasm, they thrive on challenges and relish the opportunity to break free from the constraints of the past. This spring, Aries is ready to shake things up and make bold moves towards their goals. Whether it&#8217;s starting a new business venture, embarking on a spontaneous journey, or diving headfirst into a passion project, Aries is determined to create the life they envision before the summer solstice arrives.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="gemini">Gemini</h2>



<p>Gemini is adaptable and curious, always seeking variety and stimulation to feed their restless mind. With an innate ability to see multiple perspectives, they thrive in environments that offer constant change and growth. This spring, Gemini is ready to embrace the winds of change and explore new horizons. Whether it&#8217;s learning a new skill, diving into a creative pursuit, or reevaluating their personal relationships, Gemini approaches life with a sense of excitement and curiosity. They understand that true transformation begins from within, and they are willing to do the inner work necessary to create meaningful shifts in their lives before the arrival of summer.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="sagittarius">Sagittarius</h2>



<p>Adventurous and optimistic, Sagittarius is always on a quest for truth and meaning in life. With a love for freedom and exploration, they thrive in environments that offer new experiences and opportunities for growth. This spring, Sagittarius is ready to expand their horizons and embrace the unknown. Whether it&#8217;s embarking on a spiritual journey, pursuing higher education, or exploring new cultures and philosophies, Sagittarius approaches life with an open heart and a sense of wonder. They understand that true transformation requires stepping out of their comfort zone and embracing the uncertainties of life with courage and optimism.</p>



<p>As the season of renewal unfolds, these three zodiac signs embody the spirit of change and transformation, ready to embrace new beginnings and create the lives they envision before the summer sun reaches its peak. With passion, curiosity, and a sense of adventure, they inspire us all to embrace the winds of change and embark on our own journeys of self-discovery and growth.</p>

<p class="is-style-introduction">Canadian comedian Nicole Arbour filed a police report with Metro Nashville in March 2026, alleging a years-long feud with Jelly Roll that escalated at a charity event where he allegedly threatened her life on camera.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" height="1280" width="1024" src="https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-05-27-Chris-Lavergne-Thought-Catalog-Cairo.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1201505" sizes="auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" srcset="https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-05-27-Chris-Lavergne-Thought-Catalog-Cairo.png 1080w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-05-27-Chris-Lavergne-Thought-Catalog-Cairo.png?resize=384,480 384w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-05-27-Chris-Lavergne-Thought-Catalog-Cairo.png?resize=640,800 640w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-05-27-Chris-Lavergne-Thought-Catalog-Cairo.png?resize=768,960 768w, https://thoughtcatalog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-05-27-Chris-Lavergne-Thought-Catalog-Cairo.png?resize=1024,1280 1024w" /></figure>



<p>Nashville police reviewed her video and identified Jelly Roll and a second man in the footage, <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/04/23/jelly-roll-allegedly-hurled-death-threat-at-comedian/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according to TMZ</a>. No investigation is active. No charges have been filed. The department has described the situation as &#8220;an ongoing online back and forth.&#8221;</p>



<p>Arbour says Jelly Roll&#8217;s team offered her a confidentiality agreement to drop it, then threatened legal action when she refused. She&#8217;s also claimed he &#8220;sent his uncle&#8221; to threaten her, and she&#8217;s publicly accused Nashville police of protecting him.</p>



<p>Jelly Roll, born Jason DeFord, is a 41-year-old Nashville rapper turned country star whose entire public identity is built on his redemption arc. He was first locked up at 14 and spent roughly a decade in and out of juvenile and adult facilities on drug and aggravated robbery charges. He got sober, broke through with &#8220;Son of a Sinner&#8221; and &#8220;Need a Favor,&#8221; won three Grammys in 2026, and has testified before Congress on the fentanyl crisis.</p>



<p>In December 2025, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee granted him a full pardon for the robbery and drug convictions of his early 20s, citing his turnaround and advocacy. Four months later, a comedian is accusing him of threatening to kill her.</p>



<p>Jelly Roll hasn&#8217;t addressed the allegations. His reps haven&#8217;t commented.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="1-leo-sagittarius">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Leo + Sagittarius</h2>



<p>These two have a lot of fun together and don’t hesitate to discuss the hard stuff. They are each other’s biggest cheerleaders and ultimate source of support. Though ego may sometimes get in the way, they have each other’s backs. They&#8217;re both fire signs and will always want to put in the extra effort to make the other feel loved.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="2-aries-libra">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Aries + Libra</h2>



<p>Aries and Libra are best friends until the end. Though they won’t ever agree on the same things, their friendship is what takes them far. They’re playful yet serious and often feel safe to be themselves. They share countless inside jokes, embarrassing stories they rarely tell a soul and a love rooted in trust and reciprocity.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="3-virgo-pisces">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Virgo + Pisces</h2>



<p>Pisces is one of Virgo’s true loves. Though they are complete opposites in everything, their foundation is what usually sets them up for success. Rooted in patience and gentleness, these two can resolve conflict with kindness and compassion. They love each other well and can easily provide for the other emotionally.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="4-cancer-scorpio">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cancer + Scorpio</h2>



<p>Cancer and Scorpio are each other’s safe place and emotional backbone. Scorpios don’t trust easily, but Cancer is one of the small few that they can instantly feel safe around. Together, they’re not afraid to tackle the hard stuff and can usually tell when one is upset. Vulnerability comes easy to these two, making their connection the deepest they’ll ever have.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="5-capricorn-taurus">5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Capricorn + Taurus&nbsp;</h2>



<p>These two will always be obsessed with each other. They admire the other’s drive to succeed and to live as stably as possible. Both want similar things out of life and love being around someone who can push them towards that. Mostly introverts and homebodies, these two have the most romantic stay-at-home dates and host the best dinner parties with close friends and family.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="6-aquarius-gemini">6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Aquarius + Gemini</h2>



<p>Aquarius and Gemini are friends who didn’t expect to fall in love. Both free-spirited and independent thinkers, they’re there for each other often and can make the other smile even when they don’t want to. Straight out of a rom-com, you want to be around their love. These two are friendly and fun and will not hesitate to crack a joke every five minutes.</p>

<p>Her dad marked the day with an Instagram post that opened, &#8220;A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR AMAZING SCARLET! …. We love you so much!&#8221; It paired a throwback of him cradling her as a toddler with a fresh shot of the two of them on the set of Tulsa King, which wrapped Season 4 production earlier this year. He rounded it out with a photo of Scarlet and her mom, Jennifer Flavin.</p>



<p>Scarlet is the youngest of Stallone&#8217;s five kids. He had two sons with first wife Sasha Czack: Sage Moonblood Stallone, who acted with him in Rocky V and Daylight before dying of heart disease in 2012 at 36, and Seargeoh, born in 1979 and diagnosed with autism at 3, who has lived privately out of the spotlight. With Jennifer he has three daughters, Sophia (born 1996), Sistine (born 1998), and Scarlet. All five names start with S.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s a full-circle moment. Sylvester and Jennifer married on May 17, 1997 in a small ceremony at The Dorchester Hotel in London, and they just celebrated their 29th anniversary back in London this month.</p>



<p>Scarlet has been building her acting career right alongside him, playing Spencer on Tulsa King. The role started as a college-student barista at Triangle Coffee Roasters, evolved into horse caretaker at Fennario Ranch, and has now turned her into a &#8220;mini businesswoman&#8221; and bartender at the Bred-2-Buck helping Dwight&#8217;s crew. She researched the part by visiting real Tulsa coffee shops, and she&#8217;s said filming the show &#8220;completely changed&#8221; her relationship with her dad for the better. Sly has admitted on set, &#8220;I&#8217;m starting to learn from her. She&#8217;s so good.&#8221;</p>

<p>Stallone is 79 and turns 80 on July 6. On The Family Stallone he traced the physical toll back to one moment: &#8220;I did stupid stuff. I was directing Expendables and, like an idiot, I&#8217;m doing take 10… and I remember one slam, and I could actually feel one bang. After that film, it was never physically the same.&#8221; Years and several back surgeries later, when a reporter on the Kennedy Center Honors red carpet brought up the number, his answer was three words: &#8220;It adds up.&#8221;</p>



<p>That visible reality, plus the cane he was using in the anniversary photos, has fueled sensational online rumors and clickbait headlines claiming everything from new cancers to him being &#8220;on his last legs.&#8221; Most of it recycles old info or exaggerates the very real wear-and-tear from a lifetime of doing his own stunts, and nothing new has been officially confirmed by Stallone or his team.</p>
