Taylor Swift dances, shimmies and steals headlines as Knicks erase 29-point hole in NBA Finals stunner

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 15:45:37 -0400

Taylor Swift brought her star power to Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, turning heads as she watched the New York Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs in a high-stakes NBA Finals showdown.

Swift sat courtside with close friends Alana and Este Haim. The trio joined Celebrity Row alongside Ben Stiller and Mariska Hargitay.

The pop star embraced a spirited, game-day-inspired look built around a bright royal blue "STEVIE KNICKS" T-shirt featuring bold orange lettering across the front. Alana and Este each wore matching shirts saying "KNICKOLE KIDMAN" and "KNICKELBACK." Swift paired her graphic top with similar black jeans to the ones she wore to cheer on boyfriend Travis Kelce to a Super Bowl win in 2024. She wore her signature bangs swept across her forehead, with the rest of her hair pulled back into a relaxed ponytail.

The New York Knicks made a record comeback from 29 points down and moved to the brink of their first championship since 1973 by beating the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Knicks, who have just two titles in their 80-year history and hadn't even been to the NBA Finals since 1999, have a 3-1 lead and three chances to win the best-of-seven series — starting with Game 5 on Saturday night in San Antonio.

As the Knicks struggled, eagle-eyed fans spotted Scooter Braun – known to have years-long conflict with Swift – and Sydney Sweeney sitting just six rows back from the star. Despite the ominous omen, all eyes were on Swift as she worked to bring up the energy of the crowd by simply being herself.

During halftime, Swift was hyping up her fellow Knicks fans. "We're going to get the energy up," she could be heard saying in a video shared online.

As the Knicks chipped away at the deficit, Swift appeared to be one of the few believers left in the building. Cameras caught the pop star doing a celebratory shimmy as New York trimmed the Spurs' lead to 22 points.

Swift, the Haim sisters and Hargitay joined hands and danced in a circle as the Knicks slowly clawed their way back into the game. At one point, Swift and Hargitay jumped up and down while embracing as the "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" star whipped her hair back and forth.

The celebration didn't end at the final buzzer. After the Knicks' victory, Swift joined Mariska Hargitay, the Haim sisters and Stiller on the court, where the group mingled with players as Madison Square Garden erupted in celebration.

Swift was spotted talking with Kylie Jenner, years after her infamous feud with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian made headlines.

The "Life of a Showgirl" singer kept the party going on her way out of the arena, dancing with fans before heading to the members-only club Zero Bond. Swift, along with Alana and Este, later joined a host of A-list guests as New York celebrated the Knicks' win deep into the night.

Foster first gained recognition during the 1980s as part of the country duo Foster & Lloyd, which he formed with fellow songwriter Bill Lloyd. The pair were best known for singles including "Crazy Over You" and "What Do You Want From Me This Time."

When the band parted ways in 1990, Foster took on a solo career and produced several hits, including "Just Call Me Lonesome," "Nobody Wins," "Easier Said Than Done" and "Hammer and Nails." Throughout his career, he has written songs recorded by artists including Keith Urban, Sara Evans, The Chicks, Brooks & Dunn and Jack Ingram, among many others.

Foster is among a list of country stars who have recently canceled shows last minute due to illness.

She added, "I look forward to being back on stage and seeing you very soon."

Carly Pearce says heart condition left her fearing a heart attack: ‘Is my heart OK?’

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 10:00:30 -0400

Country music star Carly Pearce opened up about her worst fear after she was diagnosed with a chronic heart condition.

In 2024, Pearce, 36, learned that she had recurrent pericarditis, a condition that causes inflammation of the tissue surrounding the heart. The "Every Little Thing" singer previously shared that she has experienced repeated episodes of chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue since 2020.

During an interview with Fox News Digital at her annual "Carly's Closet" fundraiser, Pearce shared the biggest emotional challenge that she has faced following her diagnosis.

COUNTRY SINGER CARLY PEARCE'S ‘DEBILITATING CHEST PAIN’ LED TO CHRONIC HEART CONDITION DIAGNOSIS

"I think just when you have any kind of diagnosis, I think it can be scary and give you anxiety about, 'Is it going to happen again? Am I OK?' For me, it was 'Oh my gosh, is my heart OK? Am I going to have a heart attack?'" Pearce said.

Pearce spoke with Fox News Digital at her annual charity pop-up "Carly's Closet," which is held during CMA Fest in Nashville, Tennessee. At the fundraiser, fans can shop items from the singer's personal wardrobe and Pearce donates the proceeds to the CMA Foundation, which supports music education initiatives.

Pearce went on to explain how she has avoided spiraling over worst-case scenarios while living with pericarditis.

"Just kind of making sure that you're educating yourself to know that those things are not going to happen," she said.

The Grammy Award winner also advised others not to rely on online medical searches if they receive frightening medical diagnoses.

"Don't get on chatGPT or WedMD," Pearce warned.

During a February appearance on Rolling Stone's "Nashville Now," Pearce urged her fans to seek medical attention quickly if health issues arise.

"That was something I developed in 2020 and didn't know what it was for a really long time. It was kind of misdiagnosed, also dismissed," Pearce explained.

"'Oh, you have anxiety. Oh, you have a busy schedule,'" Pearce recalled being told by doctors. "And it's like, 'No, something's not right.' And, so, in 2024, I went public with that just because it took me out for a second. But I'm doing really well. And I haven't had any kind of major flare. But I think, again, just trying to be honest with people and use my platform to be like, ‘Please go get checked because there was something wrong.’"

After announcing her diagnosis in May 2024, Pearce recalled facing skepticism about her symptoms early on and said she persisted until doctors determined the source of her health issues.

"My biggest piece of advice for anybody is: Listen to your body, and be your own advocate. … A lot of doctors dismissed me, and I was persistent until I got a diagnosis," she said at the time.

During her recent interview with Fox News Digital, Pearce explained that she has learned how to live with her condition and shared a positive update on her health.

"I'm doing really well right now," she said. "I feel like I've been in a really good place with my health and feel like I have plan for if I have a flare for recurrent pericarditis. I'm well-equipped and educated at this point to be able to know what to do."

When asked if managing her condition had changed her approach to touring and performing, Pearce shared that it had actually taught a valuable lesson about health.

"I think it's probably changed more of my exercise routine," she said. "I don't need to turn the treadmill up to 12, or I don't need to look over and try to outwork out every single person in a class. I think not running as hard or all of those things."

"Just taking care of my body and listening to my body instead of thinking that it always needs to be on 10," Pearce added.

Pearce has previously said that her condition forced her to scale back the intensity of her live performances, though she remained committed to touring and fulfilling scheduled shows. The singer is currently working on her upcoming fifth studio album, which follows 2024's "Hummingbird."

She has already released singles that will be included on her forthcoming record, including "Dream Come True," "Church Girl," "You Can Have Him" and her duet with Riley Green, "If I Don't Leave, I'm Gonna Stay,"

While speaking with Fox News Digital, Pearce reflected on her 2021 album "29: Written in Stone," which was inspired by difficult events she experienced during her 29th, including her divorce from fellow country singer Michael Ray and the death of her longtime producer and mentor, Busbee.

CARLY PEARCE CONFESSES SHE INSTANTLY REGRETTED MARRYING MICHAEL RAY BEFORE QUICK DIVORCE

In October 2019, Pearce married Ray, but she filed for divorce just eight months later in June 2020. Pearce has previously described that period as one of the hardest in her life and admitted to feeling shame around her divorce.

Busbee, born Michael James Ryan Busbee, died in September 2019 at age 43 following a battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Pearce has said Busbee's death left both a personal and professional void, forcing her to navigate her career without the producer who helped launch it. She later credited his mentorship with giving her the confidence to find her own voice and create "29."

The album marked a major turning point in Pearce's career, reaching number 9 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and number 32 on the Billboard 200 chart.

"29" also produced some of her biggest hits, including her collaboration with Ashley McBride titled "Never Wanted to Be That Girl," which topped the Billboard Country Airplay chart, won Country Music Association (CMA) honors and later earned a Grammy Award.

The record received album of the year nominations from both the CMA Awards and Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards and led to her induction into the Grand Ole Opry.

Looking back, Pearce told Fox News Digital that she was "in a much better place than when I wrote '29,' but so many wonderful things have come from '29.'"

"So I'm very grateful [but] I don't wanna go back to '29' ever again," she added.

Pearce also shared what fans can expect from her upcoming album, which she previously told Fox News Digital will be a return to her Kentucky and Appalachian bluegrass roots.

"It's the most honest music I've ever made," she said. "I think I'm really celebrating being a woman and loving where I'm at in life and kind of returning to the only thing that I can control, which is the music, and sharing more than I ever have of who I am."

During her interview, Pearce explained why she continues to hold the fundraiser every year after first launching it in 2022.

"Well, I keep having a lot of clothes and I keep feeling like it's important to fans," she said. "And every year, throughout the year, I look out in the crowd, and I'm looking, and they're looking back at me, and I am like, 'Oh that's a Carly's Closet item,'" she shared.

"And it just seems like people really enjoy it, and it brings such a joy to me to be able to raise money for the CMA Foundation and also give the next phase of life to these clothes that are so pretty and deserve another moment," Pearce added.

"Some of them I'm really happy to get rid of and others, I have to be honest, like there was a few things in here that they've been in my closet for about six years, and they were just sentimental to me, but they're gone, they're out," she said.

"There are things that are very, very sentimental to me that I'll never get rid of," she continued. "But all of these things have a story."

"Like I got to sing with Rascal Flatts and wear that outfit last year in the stadium and that's such a great memory," Pearce said as she gestured to one shopping rack.

"Or I wore this on a red carpet. I wore on a red carpet," she added while pointing at another. "All of this, it's like [the 2005 movie] 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.' I know I say it, but like every item has a story and I think that's what makes it special and people get to make their own memories now and then."

'Landman' star Billy Bob Thornton says working people relate to the struggles the characters face

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 09:00:49 -0400

Billy Bob Thornton knows exactly why Taylor Sheridan's "Landman" has turned into a global favorite.

During an interview with Fox News Digital at the Newport Beach TV Fest, Thornton shared that people from all economic backgrounds enjoy "Landman," but the working class can relate to the struggles.

"Working people, I think, really relate to the struggles that the family goes through and the people who work in this industry," Thornton said.

Thornton told Fox News Digital why he believes "Landman" turned into a worldwide hit and that's all thanks to Sheridan's "finger on the pulse of people."

"What's really surprising about Taylor is that it doesn't… or that is unique about Taylor, is that he seems to understand all people because this is an international hit."

"'Landman' is a worldwide phenomenon, and I think what's different about this show is that most of the shows stick to what they are. If it's a drama, it's drama. If it danger, like a 'Lioness,' it is the danger," Thornton continued.

"But in 'Landman,' you have emotion and drama and humor and absurdity and danger. You have all of it. You know, and maybe I think that appeals to people, and plus, it's the cast of people who just are who they are."

"Landman" is based on the podcast "Boomtown." The show chronicles the Permian Basin oil boom in West Texas that took place in the early 2010s, fueled by advances in oil drilling technology.

At the center of the show is Thornton's character – Tommy Norris. Thornton portrays a "landman," a crisis manager working for an oil company called M-Tex. The series also stars Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm and Andy Garcia.

"Well, it starts with the quality of the writing and the ensemble that he's chosen to execute his words, you know, and then you have the design of the show, the photography, direction," Garcia said. "But it all starts from the storytelling and Taylor's words and the way he builds a season."

Paramount+ has officially confirmed "Landman" season 3.

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 18:42:05 -0400

Billy Ray Cyrus fought through vocal paralysis and a near-fatal battle with sepsis before staging his return to music.

Cyrus revealed he experienced a "miracle" recovery after his 2024 diagnosis. While the "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner didn't reveal many details of his health scare, he did share the advice his grandson gave him.

"In this very broken moment of my life, my little grandson Bear looked at me and said, ‘Try again.' And up until that moment, he had never spoken to me at all. I wasn't even sure if he knew my name," Cyrus told People magazine. "In that moment I thought, ‘He's telling you something.' Is it about love? Music? Somehow, I got to try again at both. So I'm learning to try again."

Fox News Digital reached out to Cyrus' representative for additional comment.

Years later, he would find more success acting as Robby Ray Stewart on Disney Channel’s "Hannah Montana" alongside his daughter Miley.

Cyrus enjoyed a remarkable career resurgence in 2019 when he teamed with Lil Nas X on the remix of "Old Town Road," which spent a record-breaking 19 weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Cyrus his first Grammy Awards.

After contemplating retiring, he's chosen to release his first album, "The Hill," in over a decade.

Country star John Rich joins Trump administration advocating for landowners' rights

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 17:27:08 -0400

John Rich is taking on a prestigious role within President Donald Trump's administration.

On Monday, the country star took to social media to announce his latest endeavor.

"President Trump has afforded me the great honor to serve in his administration as the 'Special Envoy for American Landowners,'" he wrote on X. "In this role, I look forward to representing and advocating for landowners’ rights against any entity that chooses to harass or intimidate them in an effort to achieve goals contrary to those of the President. I look forward to defending our farmers and ranchers."

JOHN RICH TURNS TENNESSEE FARMERS' FIGHT INTO PROTEST SONG AS TRUMP BACKS HIS BATTLE

On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture officially announced the news in a press release.

"America’s farmers, ranchers, and landowners are among the greatest stewards of our nation’s resources and the backbone of our rural communities," Secretary Brooke Rollins said via the release. "President Trump understands that private property rights are fundamental to the American way of life. John Rich has long been a champion for rural America, and I look forward to working alongside him as we continue fighting for the people who feed, fuel, and clothe our nation."

According to the release, a key focus of Rich’s work will be advocating for landowners facing pressure related to large-scale solar and wind development that may impact productive farmland, ranchland, and rural livelihoods.

Additionally, he will work closely with USDA leadership and stakeholders to ensure landowners have a strong voice in decisions affecting their property and communities.

Earlier this year, Rich — who has been a longtime supporter of Trump — got candid about how today's political landscape has pushed more artists to vocalize their beliefs.

"I think when Trump won that second time, and we had been through four years of Biden and what that did to the music industry, what that did to people's livelihoods – I think, coming out the other side of that, you finally saw artists going, 'You know what, enough is enough, I'm putting them up, I'm going to say what I think,'" he said during an appearance on "The Rubin Report."

"Country music wasn't founded and is not popular because it was founded on the backs of wishy-washy people," he continued. "I mean, it was Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn and [Merle] Haggard and Willie [Nelson] and Waylon [Jennings] and I mean artists that did not care what you thought about what they had to say."

"They're like, 'This is what I think. I'm going to put it into a song. You decide if you like it or not.' They became the pillars of country music," he continued. "So yes, I do see artists starting to turn back in that direction. And I think the music industry doesn't have a choice but to go along with it, because the audience is so hardcore against a lot of the bad things that have happened to them. If you go the other direction, the phrase I use is they will ‘Dixie Chicks’ you."

Rich is not one to stay silent, especially amid the era of cancel culture.

"I could give you the tough guy answer and say, I didn't care what they thought. That's not true," Rich said of speaking up throughout the years.

"At one point, I had to kind of look at the back and forth of that whole scenario and say, 'Well, is the music industry's approval of me more important to me than my right to free speech?'" Rich, who has received numerous accolades through his 30-plus years in country music, asked.

"Is it more important to me than setting an example for my two sons? Do I want to be the guy that yells at the TV on the evening news and goes, ‘Look at what these people are doing to our country' and then turn right around, put on my boots and my hat and walk the red carpet and play patty cake with the exact same industry people that are doing the things I've been yelling at?'"

"Well, that's hypocritical," he continued. "And I decided one day, 'No, I'm just not going to do it. I don't know what the fallout's going to be. But I'd rather say what I want to say, be an actual American. And if there's a bloody nose to take, then I guess I'll take it. And I did take a lot of bloody noses and still do."

"But what I've learned is that the reciprocation from the other side, people that are glad you said what you said, they're glad you had enough intestinal fortitude to stick your face out there and take the pop, they all come rushing to your back, Dave. They all show up by tens of millions."

Black Crowes fans vow to boycott Chris Robinson after he claims anti-USA rant was 'blown out of context'

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 17:00:57 -0400

Chris Robinson continued to face a backlash from fans this week after he defended his anti-U.S.A. rant.

"I think the whole thing was, of course, blown out of context so people can get clicks and people can stir up the animosity and philosophies or how you feel about life," the Black Crowes frontman told Ultimate Classic Rock last week.

He added, "But be most assured, you know, whatever. It doesn't matter. In a week, something else will come up that [will stir up] the hornets' nest.

At a Florida concert on May 31, video appeared to show fans boo Robinson after he told attendees chanting "U.S.A.!" at the concert: "Thanks for the geography lesson … Don't know what the f--- you’re so proud about right now, by the way."

He continued, "Boo all you want to mother---ers! Boo away! Some of us have real faith. And for those of your f---ing booing us, some of us are not afraid. And we are most assuredly are not f---ing ignorant, so thank you!"

One person wrote on X on Thursday, "Speaking as a fan of The Black Crowes, I'm fine with him speaking his mind, whether I agree with him or not, it's that he decided to do it during his show."

Another said: "I hope people only show up to start chanting ‘USA’ the whole show, trying to drown out their crappy music."

"I will never listen to the black crows again nor will I ever see them at a concert ever again and I was a fan!" someone else promised, and another said: "Patriotism is NOT partisan."

The chant had been a response to the band showing their crow mascot at the concert dressed as Uncle Sam.

"Black crowes shouldn’t dress their little mascot up in an American Flag if you can’t handle Americans responding to it with pride," an X user said.

The singer also received backlash on his Instagram account, with one fan letting him know: "Removed your songs from my Spotify."

"Can we just go to a show, enjoy the performance and escape politics for two and a half hours?" another asked.

Some fans simply commented "USA" on an unrelated Instagram post from the singer.

Still, a few fans supported the singer.

"Of course in red Florida any semblance of independent thought or resistance would be met by more boos than cheers," one X user said, and another wrote: "Don’t f---ing start a chant during a concert. Grow up. I love @blackcrowes."

A third person said,"I support the Black Crowes!"

Robinson also clarified in the interview that he never meant to disparage U.S. troops.

"No matter what I ever would say or do or feel about things, there's no way I would disrespect our veterans," he told the outlet. "I'm a person that I wish we had moved along as a species not to have violence be the way that we resolve conflicts.

"But for the people who've put their lives on the line and made that sacrifice and dedication, I wouldn't do that," Robinson explained. "I can see that for exactly what it is. Other than that, you know, I have to speak my mind. But I don't have an agenda or anything, you know what I mean? I'm just trying to make a soulful connection with people and we'll continue to endeavor to persevere, as they say in [the Clint Eastwood film], ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales.’"

Sydney Sweeney defends 'Euphoria' nudity and reveals a pole dancing scene was cut from season three

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 12:05:02 -0400

Sydney Sweeney is a professional.

The 28-year-old actress told Vanity Fair that she didn't have a problem doing her more explicit scenes in "Euphoria" this season because she's playing a character.

"He sent me all the scripts and it already had all of Cassie’s scenes in it, the OnlyFan scenes, and he called me afterwards, and he was talking about it, and we talking through it all," she said of creator Sam Levinson.

"He asked me how I felt about it, and I told him, 'Look, I’m playing a character.' Do I agree with all of Cassie’s decisions? Would I personally make these choices? No, of course not."

But, she stressed she's playing a part on a TV show.

"I’m an actor and that’s my job and this is Cassie’s life and to be able to do her justice and play her how she’s to be played is to bring Sam’s vision to life and to play Cassie in the most vulnerable and insane way possible," she said.

Late last month, Sweeney defended her scenes on Instagram, writing, "it’s called… acting." She also shared behind-the-scenes photos that included some of her most provocative looks from the third and final season of the HBO show.

Some people have criticized the show for oversexualizing their characters, especially given that they were high schoolers in the first two seasons.

Earlier this month, Levinson told The New York Times that he had originally considered not having any nudity on the show, but she told him: "Are you kidding? I’m playing an OnlyFans model."

Sweeney also told Vanity Fair that her character poles dances in a season three scene that got cut.

"There were some really fun scenes between us when Cassie goes to the strip club with Maddie and they’re doing the photoshoots," she said. "Cassie starts to see the girls on stage and she gets really excited. She’s like, 'Wow, these girls are beautiful. I could do this.' She gets wasted and she goes up on the stage, she gets all dressed up and Cassie pole dances. I did lessons for pole dancing, and it was so much fun. Imagine crazy Cassie on a pole, which was hilarious. But man, these girls are strong."

She said that Levinson called her after she shot the scenes to explain that they didn't make sense for the episode.

"I was like, 'Totally get it.' I definitely was disappointed," she said. "But he was like, 'Maybe we should release it as like behind-the-scenes footage or deleted scenes.' I was like, please do, because I put a lot of hard work into that."

Country singer Alana Springsteen felt like a 'black sheep' growing up for wanting to leave her hometown

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:00:54 -0400

Alana Springsteen is sharing why she never felt like she fit in while growing up in her hometown.

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 25-year-old singer and songwriter discussed her latest autobiographical album, "I Hope This Helps" – which is out now — and why she always felt like a "black sheep" growing up.

"I always felt just a little out of place in my hometown and my family. Where I grew up, people, they're born there, they stay there, they live there, they just kind of never leave," she explained. "Most of my family has never been out of the country, let alone traveled the US, and I just had all of these dreams of traveling seeing other cultures wanting to see what was outside of my little bubble when I was a little kid, and I didn't really understand that, and I don't think there were many people around me that had that same passion."

The singer went on to explain that while those around her have gone on to get married and have children, she "didn't grow up dreaming about my wedding," but instead would dream about performing in stadiums.

She explained that her dreams for her future and what she prioritized "were a little different than what I was raised to believe was right."

"What I've learned is that we're all created so differently for different purposes, and the more I've leaned into the things that make me different, that make the black sheep, the more [I] ended up exactly where I'm meant to be, and it's made me realize that all of those things are my superpower, and they make me uniquely built to live this life," she said.

When speaking about her newest album, "I Hope This Helps," Springsteen has referred to it as the most personal chapter in her life, saying her "gauge these days for when writing a song" is that she needs to feel "a little bit terrified" when she has finished, otherwise she didn't do it right.

For this album specifically, she wanted to "say the things that scare me the most," saying sometimes the best thing to do in order to heal is to "face those things that you've been running from," adding, "that's what this album was for me."

"I think it changed the way I see myself, so I knew inevitably that the people who cared enough to really listen would see me differently, and to be honest, my whole life I've been so concerned with what people think," she said. "I'm a people pleaser. A lot of times I tend to prioritize what people think over being who I truly am and just being fully authentic."

"I tried my best with this album to use that as an exercise of just like, it doesn't matter what people think," she added. "Some people will take something great from it, some people may judge you, but I'm trying to be comfortable being a little misunderstood in this season of my life."

"I Hope This Helps" is Springsteen's second studio album, following her breakout debut album, "Twenty Something," which was released in 2023, which featured collaborations with major country stars, including Chris Stapleton and Mitchell Tenpenny.

In addition to working with big-named stars on her album, Springsteen also performed to massive crowds as the opening act for both Luke Bryan and Keith Urban during their respective tours in 2024 and 2025.

Working with Urban was special for Springsteen, as he is someone she "looked up to for so long."

Springsteen told Fox News Digital during her first ever appearance at the Stagecoach Festival.

"I don’t know if he knows this, but he basically taught me how to play guitar when I was nine-years-old," she told Fox News Digital in May. "I just remember having his records on repeat, trying to learn those licks, those riffs, just obsessed with his songwriting, obsessed with everything he does, so to be on tour with him is so special."

Dennis Quaid ditched LA for Nashville after the once 'fantastic' city went 'downhill'

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 09:00:59 -0400

Dennis Quaid is opening up about why he left Los Angeles, saying the once "fantastic" city has been on a downward slide for years.

The 72-year-old actor joined the growing exodus of residents fleeing LA when he moved to Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Lauren Savoie, 33, in 2020.

During an interview with Fox News Digital, "The Parent Trap" star, who lived in LA for decades, explained how he became frustrated and disillusioned with the management of the city, a sentiment that he believes is shared by many, particularly following the devastating California fires in early 2025.

DENNIS QUAID SLAMS EXTREME LEFT SHIFT IN HOLLYWOOD: 'WHAT USED TO BE, YOU CAN'T BE ANYMORE'

"It used to be such a great town and the '90s was nice. And then it's been kind of going downhill and I feel like people pay these taxes for no services is what it gets down to," he said at the country music festival CMA Fest on Saturday.

"And then fire happens and it kind of exposes all those things that go on that should be taken care of," Quaid continued. "So people are — people are angry and half angry, and they're half kind of feel like giving up, to tell you the truth."

"I'm just one of thousands who have left, and I don't know, I hope the town comes back," he added. "I really do. It used to be such a fantastic town. It was. It was a great community, too. And something's happened. People need to be inspired there."

Despite making Nashville his primary residence, Quaid maintained a home in LA's Brentwood neighborhood. In January 2025, Quaid was forced to evacuate his house during the fires, which destroyed more than 18,000 buildings and claimed 31 lives.

WATCH HERE: DENNIS QUAID SAYS HE'S ‘JUST ONE OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE LEFT' LA

Quaid has been an outspoken critic of LA Mayor Karen Bass over the city's handling of the fires. The actor previously slammed Bass for leaving the country on a trip to Ghana as the blazes erupted. Quaid also blasted local leadership over its preparedness and response, water shortages and cuts to the Los Angeles Fire Department's budget.

Following the fires, Quaid actively participated in the "They Let Us Burn" protests as well as calling for Bass to resign and supporting recall efforts against her. Quaid has described himself as a "commonsense independent" who leans conservative and previously slammed what he said was the "extremely" left shift in Hollywood. He publicly endorsed President Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election and appeared at conservative political events.

When asked about his thoughts on the LA mayoral primary race, Quaid voiced his support for Spencer Pratt. The 42-year-old former reality star is a registered Republican who ran as an Independent in the nonpartisan race.

"I hope Pratt wins," he told Fox News Digital.

SPENCER PRATT SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENTS IN HIS LA MAYORAL CAMPAIGN, LOVES ATTACKS

Quaid previously endorsed "The Hills" alum's campaign during an interview with Fox News Digital at the 2nd Annual Military & Veteran Entertainment Awards Gala in LA last month.

The Emmy Award winner didn't hold back when asked why he was endorsing Pratt.

"Why? What are you talking about? Why? Just look around, man," Quaid said.

REALITY TV STAR SPENCER PRATT TESTS LA VOTERS' APPETITE FOR POLITICAL OUTSIDER

Pratt, who has also been a vocal critic of Bass over her response to the fires after losing his own home in the disaster, announced his surprise bid for City Hall at a "They Let Us Burn" protest in January. During his campaign, Pratt emphasized issues such as homelessness, public safety, wildfire response and infrastructure.

In the June 2 primary election, Pratt spent several days in second place behind Bass and appeared on track for the November runoff before late-counted mail ballots steadily narrowed his lead and eventually pushed City Councilmember Nithya Raman ahead.

Though California's vote count is still being finalized, Bass and Raman are now projected to advance to the November election.

Beyond his frustrations with LA, Quaid has previously said that Nashville's thriving music scene helped draw him to the city.

While best known for his acting work, Quaid has also pursued a decades-long music career. Quaid performs with his band, Dennis Quaid & The Sharks, and has released multiple albums, blending rock, country and gospel influences. In recent years, he has increasingly focused on faith-based music, including his 2023 gospel album "Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners."

In 2019, Quaid began working with country music icons Tanya Tucker and the late Kris Kristofferson on a joint recording of the actor's gospel song, "On My Way to Heaven," which also featured Brandi Carlile. Though the song and an accompanying music video were completed years ago, the rollout was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During CMA Fest, Quaid appeared with Tucker to discuss the music video for "On My Way to Heaven," which will be released alongside the audio single on June 20.

While speaking with Fox News Digital ahead of the event, Quaid shared the story behind their collaboration.

"I'd done a record with The Sharks that I had put the song 'On My Way to Heaven' on, and it came out and went nowhere," he recalled. "Then out of the blue, I get a call from 'TNT' Tanya Tucker, who was my leading lady 40 years before that."

LAINEY WILSON SAYS CITY PEOPLE HAVE WRONG VIEW OF COUNTRY TOWNS AS SHE DEFENDS HER 'BLUE COLLAR' ROOTS

"She was my first leading lady in movies," Quaid continued. "We did a TV movie called 'Amateur Night at the Dixie Bar and Grill.' Anyway, she called, and she says, 'I really like the song and I wanna do it.'"

"'Really? Well, OK then,'" he remembered telling her. "And then she called back 10 minutes later and said, 'Kris Kristofferson wants to do it.' That blew my mind twice. And especially because Kris was, I mean, my hero from the time I was 17."

"And then over the next two years, really, we recorded with Kris. And Brandi Carlile's doing backups on it. And this is around the time that Tanya was making a record with her. And, you know, it just came together slowly. And then COVID hit."

Reflecting on the song's origins, Quaid said the song emerged from one of the most transformative periods of his life, as he navigated recovery after his stint in rehab in the early 1990s, revisited religious texts and deepened his personal faith.

"It was right after I got out of what I call 'cocaine school' — rehab," he recalled. "And it was a song that I wrote that night. You know, they tell you you need a higher power in that program there. I started rereading the Bible."

LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

"I'd read it when I was a kid and I read it cover to cover," Quaid continued. "I also read the 'Dhammapada' and the 'Bhagavad Gita' and all of them and stuff. It was really a personal relationship with Jesus which really struck me, which is what it's all about. And I wrote that song, you know, after doing that, also to let my mother know I was OK.'"

When asked whether country music's emphasis on faith, family and hard work has contributed to its success, Quaid said those values have always been at the heart of the genre.

"That's the way country music has always been, and it's grown," he said. "I grew up on country music, really, with Hank Williams. And my dad would listen to it in the car, the truck on his way to work, because it appealed to working people back then. And it was outside of rock and roll, but it influenced everything."

"I can't think of a genre that's bigger," Quaid added. "Everybody loves it."

Hugh Laurie admits he was 'slightly drunk' when he roasted a journalist who criticized his show 'House'

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 20:03:54 -0400

Hugh Laurie is fessing up to being "slightly drunk" after roasting a "House" critic on social media.

On Monday, British journalist Janet Murray uploaded a screenshot of an article she penned on UnHerd, titled, "What I learnt from my online fight with Hugh Laurie." The entire online debacle began when Murray penned a review of "House," which Laurie starred in from 2004 until 2012.

Murray wrote on X Monday that Laurie's response to her criticism sparked "some fairly horrific trolling." Laurie offered his apologies in a lengthy tweet.

"I’m sorry if people have been having a go at you because of my tweet. Not at all the plan. I was very slightly drunk and already upset about something that had nothing to do with you," he began.

"If it’s any comfort, I got it in the neck too. I’m a thin-skinned t--t, apparently, even though it wasn’t my skin. I was sticking up for the writers who I adored. Obviously I shouldn’t have cited Bach/Kahlo/Moore - asking for trouble - and would have done better to go for the 10,000 blues songs written around the same 12 bar chord structure.

I’ve listened to most of them and will keep doing so. Because we love what we love," Laurie signed off.

Murray replied with, "Thank you. ‘Having a go’ is probably an understatement." She acknowledged his apologies and signed off the exchange by saying she has "no hard feelings."

Murray and Laurie's online spat began on June 6. Murray took to X and shared her thoughts about season 1 of "House."

"Late to the party, but I've started watching Season 1 of House. Same narrative every episode: Patient has mysterious illness. Hugh Laurie (House) gets diagnosis wrong. Patient nearly dies. Hugh Laurie gets diagnosis wrong again. Gets threatened with being fired. Patient nearly dies again. Hugh Laurie has last minute leftfield idea. Gets diagnosis right. Doesn't get fired. Eight seasons of this?" she wrote on X.

Laurie wrote back: "Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy."

The pair went back and forth online for days before it appears that they have squashed their differences.

Laurie, an English actor, comedian, writer, musician, and producer, is best known for his role as Dr. Gregory House in the hit medical drama "House." Laurie first gained fame through comedy partnerships with Stephen Fry in shows such as "A Bit of Fry & Laurie" and "Blackadder."

Rob Reiner's son Nick fights for $1.5M trust fund access to bankroll high-powered murder trial defense

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 19:37:36 -0400

Rob Reiner's son demanded access to his trust fund after he was allegedly blocked from a massive payout that would have funded his decision to hire top-notch celebrity attorney Alan Jackson.

Months after Nick Reiner was put behind bars in connection to the murder of his parents, he filed a petition arguing that the person appointed to oversee his $1.5 million trust has unlawfully withheld funds that are already legally his. Nick insisted he needed the trust money to pay for criminal defense counsel and basic necessities while incarcerated.

According to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, the trustee's alleged refusal to release money forced Nick into using a court-appointed public defender despite Jackson's firm already devoting substantial resources to his defense. Nick is facing a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty after being charged with two counts of first-degree murder. His charges also include "special circumstances" multiple murders with the use of a deadly weapon.

Jackson, who previously represented Karen Read, began working on the case immediately after Nick's arrest, but the representation collapsed when anticipated family funding failed to materialize. In a declaration, Jackson said his firm remained willing to return if funding became available, including through alternative fee arrangements.

NICK REINER LOSING POWERHOUSE DEFENSE ATTORNEY MAY COME DOWN TO MONEY, EXPERTS SAY

According to Nick's petition, the trust established by Reiner and his wife required the trustee to distribute half of the assets to him when he turned 30 back in September 2023. However, the funds never materialized. The trustee allegedly continued to improperly withhold funds that had already vested in Nick by citing concerns about his competence and intended use of the money.

Nick's funding dispute centers specifically on trustee Paul Kanin, who had raised concerns about whether the 32-year-old is capable of making sound financial decisions. According to the court filing, Kanin wants to further evaluate Nick's ability to exercise "consistently good judgment" before releasing trust assets.

Nick's attorneys pushed back on Kanin's concerns, arguing they lacked legal support. They noted that no court declared Nick incompetent, no doctors made the findings required under the trust and California law presumed adults competent unless proven otherwise.

"None of the sophisticated and experienced attorneys who have met with and represented Nick in recent months has raised any issue with Nick’s ability to understand the nature and consequences of the criminal proceedings, or to make informed decisions regarding his defense and retention of counsel," his lawyers added.

Los Angeles Fire Department officials responded to a Brentwood-area home at around 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 14, where two bodies were discovered. Officials later confirmed the bodies to be of Rob and his wife, Michele.

"Both victims were found in the master bedroom of the area of the home," LAPD Assistant Police Chief Dominic Choi later confirmed during a LAPD Board of Police Commissioners meeting. Officers then conducted a "thorough search" of the residence and found no additional victims or suspects.

Rob and Michele's son Nick quickly became a person of interest and was taken into custody the night of Dec. 14. He was formally charged in the double homicide of his parents on Dec. 16.

Nick pleaded not guilty during his Feb. 23 arraignment. A spokesperson for the Reiner family told Fox News Digital, "They have the utmost trust in the legal process and will not comment further on matters related to the legal proceedings."

Emily Ratajkowski's shredded red birthday dress leaves little to the imagination at NYC celebration

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 18:52:45 -0400

Emily Ratajkowski is leaving little to the imagination in a social media post celebrating her birthday.

In a series of photos posted on Instagram, the model shared pictures from her 35th birthday party, which featured her in a barely there red dress — which was coming apart at the seams.

The bodice of the skintight red dress featured multiple cutouts and fringe, which gave the illusion the dress had been shredded, with gold bars holding the pieces together. The cutouts continued down until below the model's navel.

In the photos, she is posing in front of a red birthday cake with floral embellishments, giving the camera a serious look as she takes a selfie. The star also spent time with her friends as they celebrated at Ha’s Snack Bar in New York.

Ratajkowski recently made news when she walked the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show for the first time in October 2025, after first working with the brand in 2023 when she appeared in their Icon Campaign.

"I grew up looking at images of Gisele, Candice, Naomi and Adriana, so it’s simply surreal to be included in a campaign next to them," she told Popsugar that year. "Those women were larger than life to me — they still are in many ways — and that’s what it means to be iconic. Their beauty and the images they’ve produced with incredible photographers and designers and teams were and are so artful. They represent so much."

Her debut on the iconic runway came 20 years after she first signed with Ford Models at the age of 14, after which she mainly did catalog and print work.

She got her big break in 2013, when she appeared in the music video for Robin Thicke's hit song, "Blurred Lines," in which she appeared topless. Soon after, she began booking more jobs and was named Esquire's Woman of the Year in 2013.

Following her big break, Ratajkowski also worked in television and film, most notably as Ben Affleck's mistress in the 2014 film, "Gone Girl," but chose not to pursue acting further, telling the Los Angeles Times in 2023 she "felt like a piece of meat."

"But I didn’t feel like, ‘Oh, I’m an artist performing and this is my outlet.’ I felt like a piece of meat who people were judging, saying, ‘Does she have anything else other than her [breasts]?’" Ratajkowski told the Los Angeles Times.

She later added that she grew tired of making herself "digestible to powerful men in Hollywood," telling the outlet, "I didn't trust them."

"I was like, ‘I can handle receiving phone calls. I’m gonna make these decisions," she said. "None of you have my best interest at heart. And you all hate women.’"

Beau Bridges says Tom Cruise ‘gets better with age’ as ‘Top Gun' star keeps defying Hollywood odds

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 18:06:49 -0400

Tom Cruise's "Jerry McGuire" costar Beau Bridges thinks the 63-year-old actor is getting better and better with age.

"I really appreciated working with him," Bridges, who starred alongside Cruise in the 90s romcom, told People while attending the "Matlock" For Your Consideration event last week. "He's a wonderful actor and just gets better with age. I mean, he's still doing all those crazy stunts and stuff. Yeah. And I like working with him. I thought he was great."

Bridges isn't the only actor who has thoughts on Cruise's legendary stunts.

Earlier this year, Ethan Hawke revealed that he has grown "angry" with Cruise, explaining that the "Mission: Impossible" star’s high-risk stunt work has changed what audiences and studios expect from actors across Hollywood.

'MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE' STAR TOM CRUISE'S UNUSUAL PREPARATION FOR DEATH-DEFYING STUNTS

"Tom Cruise has totally changed what’s expected for actors," Hawke told Variety at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival in February. "Some part of me is getting angry over the years because everyone somehow feels like they’re less if they use a stunt team."

While Cruise — who is returning for "Top Gun 3" — has never appeared in a superhero movie from Marvel, DC or any other comic-book franchise, the actor cemented his status as an action movie icon by insisting on performing increasingly dangerous, real-world stunts himself in blockbuster franchises including "Mission: Impossible," "Top Gun" and "Jack Reacher."

Last year, Cruise nearly broke his back while performing a stunt for "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning."

‘MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE’ STAR TOM CRUISE DEFIES DEATH, HANGING FROM AIRPLANE IN WILD NEW STUNT

In bonus content from the digital release of the film, Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie detailed one of the film’s most harrowing sequences: a high-flying biplane battle between the actor’s character, Ethan Hunt, and Gabriel, portrayed by Esai Morales.

The scene showed Ethan leaping from one plane onto another, as he clung to the wing midair.

"Oh, this almost broke my back," Cruise said, per Entertainment Weekly.

"You’re talking about a lot of pain here," McQuarrie chimed in.

Cruise’s character was seen in the video clip grabbing a seat belt, holding on for dear life, as the plane flipped upside down.

"Now watch this, the thing we haven’t talked about, holding on to this belt," McQuarrie described, while Cruise said, "Oh God, that was brutal."

The director continued to explain, "This separated the joints in Tom's fingers from the force, so by the time we finished this sequence, your hands were absolutely swollen – oh my God, it was so painful to watch."

During the intense scene, Cruise’s character was forced to crash into the side of the aircraft. As he remembered the pain, the Hollywood actor said, "Oh, that was brutal. That hit, that was a hard one."

McQuarrie joked, "And you improvised that, thank you very much. I appreciate that. You were like, ‘I think we’re gonna need that,’ and I was like, ‘I didn’t ask you to do that.’"

Michael Rapaport slams Zohran Mamdani over Knicks postgame chaos, vows 'not on my watch' ahead of mayoral run

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 17:17:27 -0400

A debate over Knicks fan behavior quickly turned political after Michael Rapaport took aim at Zohran Mamdani.

After the New York Knicks lost to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, a large crowd outside Madison Square Garden became chaotic as fights broke out and the New York Police Department became involved.

"These ain’t Knick fans or Basketball fans," he wrote on X alongside a video showing the chaos after the conclusion of Game 3 of the NBA playoffs. "This is embarrassing for NYC, D--- STAIN ZORON MANDAMI refer to this as 'kids being kids' Not on my watch, RAPAPORT 2029," Rapaport wrote.

Mamdani's office responded to Rapaport's criticism by stressing that assaults on police officers and other postgame violence will not be tolerated.

"New Yorkers are understandably passionate about the Knicks, and the overwhelming majority of fans watched the game last night in ways that were both safe and fun," Mayor Mamdani spokesperson Sam Raski told Fox News Digital. "But the fights and other disruptive incidents – including assaults on police officers – in various parts of the city are unacceptable and will not be tolerated."

"As the NBA finals continue, Mayor Mamdani wants all New Yorkers to celebrate and enjoy this run across the city while respecting one another," the statement continued.

"The only way to beat this guy is to make it and take it with New York City street fight mentality."

"There’s no way to out-nice him. There’s no way out-slick him. I think that he’s the greatest bull cr----r in the history of politicians … and that’s saying a lot," he continued.

"But New York City needs to do something. We need to plan right now because 2029 is around the corner, and, yes, I’m running for mayor of New York City. And I will only drop out until I feel like there’s somebody who’s more qualified that could actually beat Zohran the moron.

"My bark is a lot louder than my bite," he added. "There's no way to out-finesse this guy, out-smile this guy. It has to be a dogfight. It has to be ugly, and that's what I will do in my campaign."

Rapaport has been critical of Mamdani since the first-term mayor took office in January.

The "Only Murders in the Building" star had harsh words for the mayor after a snowstorm left NYC buried for over a week in February. "A week after the snowstorm and this is what we got Zoron the Shoveler! Filthy black snow, garbage soup, ice rinks on every corner, cars buried like fossils," he wrote on Instagram at the time.

HGTV's 'Home Town' stars Ben and Erin Napier dealt with hotel fire right before her 40th birthday

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 16:48:46 -0400

Ben and Erin Napier are opening up about the series of unfortunate events they experienced last year.

During an episode of "The Heirloom" podcast, the famous couple discussed their new show, "Home Town: Inn This Together," which followed them renovating a hotel in Laurel, Mississippi with their friends, and the aftermath of the devastating fire that the building faced shortly after filming wrapped in August 2025.

"The fire happens. A close member of the extended family goes into the hospital and nobody really knows what's going on. And Erin's parents chose to have their dog put down that week," Ben said. "And then Erin's turning 40."

Erin shared that although she didn't feel like celebrating her milestone birthday after everything that had just happened, her friend, Mallerie Rasberry, who she partnered with the build the hotel, told her, "I need to be with all my people."

Ultimately, Erin's friends threw her a 40th birthday party, which Erin called "the saddest party in the world," saying all she wanted to do was eat dip, "so we ate dip and cried." Ben then joked that it is an "unwritten rule of the 40th birthday" that it won't be a great day.

"Emily [Nowell] lost her dad for her 40th. I had a birthday the week of the fire," Erin said, with Ben adding, "We celebrated my father-in-law's 70th for my 40th. It was a great party."

Fans of the couple witnessed the devastating fire overtake the hotel the couple worked so hard to complete on the June 1 episode of the show, with Erin looking visible emotional as she watched the flames take over the structure.

The episode ended with a note letting fans know the roof has been rebuilt since the fire, but the couple has been vocal on social media about setbacks in the rebuilding process caused by a delay in the insurance company approving their claim.

"Last night's episode was bittersweet. Our friends worked so unbelievably hard, and we have never been more proud to be their friends. The fire shocked everyone. It has felt like a death of a loved one in the community. It has been nearly a year since the fire, and our friends are STILL waiting on @libertymutual to complete the claim," Ben wrote on Instagram after the episode aired.

He added: "We don’t know what the future holds, but we know God holds us. Thanks for watching the biggest thing to happen in downtown Laurel in a long time."

The couple first found fame on HGTV's hit show, "Home Town" in 2016, which followed them as they renovated historic homes and helped residents restore their homes.

When speaking with Fox News Digital in December 2025, they shared the biggest challenges that come with working so closely together, with Ben noting, "the only challenge is trying to surprise each other with something."

"Yeah, it's real hard," Erin agreed. "We're together 24/7 so I will say we have pretty much perfect communication with each other. We know everything. We have no secrets. You can't have a secret when you're with someone constantly."

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau took their romance to the red carpet.

The pop superstar and the former Canadian prime minister turned heads Monday night when they made their red carpet debut together at the Tribeca Festival, putting their romance front and center with a series of affectionate poses.

Perry, 41, and Trudeau, 54, cozied up for photographers at the premiere of "Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour - Live from Paris" in New York City, smiling, embracing and sharing intimate moments throughout the appearance.

In one photo, Perry rested her hand on Trudeau's chest as the pair locked eyes at one another. Another captured the singer with her arms wrapped around Trudeau's shoulders as they leaned in close. The duo also exchanged playful glances while posing for cameras.

The former Canadian leader appeared proud to support Perry as she celebrated the debut of her latest concert film.

"This is very different than 'Part of Me,'" the "Firework" singer told People, alluding to her 2012 documentary. "That was more of a documentary about my life, and this is really a concert experience at the highest level for the fans."

"I mean, I'm doing all of this for my fans because they are the ones that have helped me along for all these years, over 18 years, and it's just such a fun thing to encapsulate," Perry remarked.

Last October, Perry and Trudeau sparked romance rumors when they were photographed sharing PDA aboard the singer's yacht, the Caravelle, off the coast of Santa Barbara.

One image showed Trudeau kissing Perry on the cheek while pulling her close in an embrace. In another, the "Dark Horse" singer cozied up to Trudeau as he rested a hand on her bottom.

The couple's romance emerged after major changes in both of their personal lives.

Perry and Orlando Bloom confirmed their split in July 2025 after a decade together, ending one of Hollywood's most high-profile relationships.

Trudeau, meanwhile, announced his separation from wife Sophie Grégoire in 2023 after 18 years of marriage.

Idris Elba rejects 'woke' James Bond casting push, warns audiences 'won't go for a Black male' in the role

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 13:15:25 -0400

When it comes to stepping into the role of James Bond, Idris Elba is being "realistic."

In a new interview with British GQ, the 53-year-old actor opened up about the longstanding rumors about him being cast as the next 007 and explained why the audience won't go for a "Black male."

"I’ve always felt that it’s not a realistic thing," he told the outlet. "James Bond was written how he was written for a reason. But I was complimented by it. And also, I think, in realistic terms, some markets just don’t go for that. Bond is big all over the world. And [audiences] won’t [all] go for a Black male, an African male, playing Bond. That’s not what they like in their culture. Period."

JAMES BOND'S ‘FRESH, EXOTIC NEW’ VISION SPARKS CONTROVERSY ONLINE

"Bond is so unrealistic, so a hint of reality is good, but let’s not try and make it woke," Elba continued. "I think you’ve got to be pure to what it is: escapism. Don’t try and answer the world’s taste. Just be Bond."

This isn't the first time Elba has addressed his possible role in the franchise.

In 2023, Elba brought up the persistent discussions about him taking over as Ian Fleming’s famed British spy while speaking at the World Government Summit in Dubai.

"You know, a lot of people talk about another character that begins with ‘J’ and ends with ‘B,’ but I’m not going to be that guy. I’m going to be John Luther. That’s who I am," he said.

"If we spent half the time not talking about the differences and the similarities between us, the entire planet would have a shift in the way we deal with each other," he also told Esquire U.K. at the time. "As humans, we are obsessed with race. And that obsession can really hinder people’s aspirations, hinder people’s growth."

James Bond was most recently played by Daniel Craig. However, the actor's character died in the last installment of the franchise, "No Time to Die."

Elba responded to backlash over the comments via X.

"There isn't a soul on this earth that can question whether I consider myself a BLACK MAN or not," Elba wrote.

"Being an 'actor' is a profession, like being an 'architect,' they are not defined by race. However, If YOU define your work by your race, that is your Perogative (sic). Ah lie?"

Last month, Amazon shared an update on the next installment, which will be helmed by director Denis Villeneuve.

"The search for the next James Bond is underway," the post on X reads. "While we don’t plan to comment on specific details during the casting process, we’re excited to share more news with 007 fans as soon as the time is right."

David Foster’s daughters say he raised them knowing there was no 'pot of gold at the end of the rainbow’

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 09:00:49 -0400

David Foster's daughters, Erin and Sara, knew from a young age that there wasn't a "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" waiting for them.

During an interview with Fox News Digital at the grand opening of Favorite Daughter Nashville, the Foster daughters shared the most valuable life lessons they learned from their famous father.

"I would say that we were not raised thinking that there was some big pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. We were raised knowing: figure out what you love, figure out what you're good at, and go do it to take care of yourself," Erin said.

Sara added, "Well, he taught me that writing isn't something that happens when you're inspired in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm or a breakup. It's something you do on a Tuesday at 9 a.m. because you're on a deadline. So you don't wait to be inspired."

Erin and Sara are the daughters of renowned music producer David Foster and former model Rebecca Dyer. David is the father of six children: daughters Allison, Amy, Erin, Sara, Jordan and son, Rennie.

The sister duo launched Favorite Daughter, a fashion brand, in 2020. The company recently opened a boutique in Nashville's 12 South neighborhood at Ashwood 12 South.

Speaking with Fox News Digital at the grand opening, David shared that it's been an amazing journey as a parent to watch his daughters following their dreams.

"It's so great, you know, like most parents, what they want to say is, 'One day my kids will be off the payroll.' Well, my kids have been off the payroll for so long now, and they're doing so amazing, and they don't need me, and it's just, it's so much fun to watch as a parent, and I'm just so proud of them," David said.

Although Erin and Sara live in Los Angeles, they knew that Nashville would be the best location for their store.

"Oh my god, where do we begin? Well, my husband and I have a second family here, so I'm really trying to sniff them all out because he comes here all the time by himself," Sara said.

"But Nashville is like a bustling—Nashville's a bustle town, and there's so many great brands coming here. I spend a lot of time here, and it's a really good market for us."

Erin added, "I would say that when you look at the markets that are sort of influencing culture, music, and creative arts, it's Nashville. Like, everyone wants to be in Nashville. We need to fight for this spot. This is a market that everybody wants to be in."

Erin shared that now that they have a store in Nashville, relocating to Music City isn't off the table.

"Yeah, it can be a destination. Definitely now that we have a store here, we want to be able to spend time here. My husband's business is here, and so he's here all the time, so it'd be good for both of us," Erin said.

Rosie O'Donnell says people constantly asked 'are you upset' before facelift: 'That’s just my face'

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 08:39:45 -0400

Weeks after revealing her secret facelift, Rosie O'Donnell is opening up about why she did it and her thoughts on future cosmetic surgeries.

While attending the 2026 Tony Awards on Sunday, the 64-year-old comedian — who got a facelift in January — further explained her reasoning behind the decision and shared whether she'd be open to other cosmetic procedures.

"No, I don’t think so," O'Donnell told E! News at the 2026 Tony Awards on Sunday. "I'm on Mounjaro for the last three years. I have diabetes, and I lost over 50 pounds and then was responsible for a lot of the extra skin that I had around my face. And there were two lines that made me look sad. In Ireland, people would say, ‘Are you upset, darling? What’s the matter, love?’ and I’m like, ‘That’s just my face. I’m not upset. It’s just how I look.’"

"Authenticity is the goal in these days and times, and people are lying about everything all day to the American public. It’s very depressing to me and unsettling, and I think all that matters is truth and love," she continued. "And so, I wanted to be truthful and say all the complicated feelings I had about it."

"I just felt it was better to be truthful than not, and I didn’t want some tabloid to go, ‘Gotcha!’" she added. "I just wanted to say, ‘Here’s what I did, here’s the doctor …’ and if you want to, it’s very expensive. It’s more expensive than any car I ever bought, but I can’t drive around in my face."

Last month, the former talk show host opened up about battling an unthinkable amount of guilt and shame after undergoing cosmetic surgery earlier this year.

"I used to feel very strongly about facelifts," she wrote in an essay on Substack. "Not casually — morally. I had assigned myself as head of all women who would never — ever. I thought it was a betrayal. Of feminism. Of aging. Of our team of women worldwide. And then I lost 50 pounds."

"It wasn’t wrinkles — it was gravity. I’d look in the mirror and think, this isn’t aging, this is melting with intention. I tried to be evolved about it. And say things like, 'This is natural. This is earned.' And then… 'umm how earned does it have to look?' There’s a point where acceptance starts to feel like lying."

O'Donnell said that when she started to do her own research, her 13-year-old child, Clay, strongly disagreed with the decision.

"Then my 13-year-old child found out. And it was not subtle. 'You earned your wrinkles.' Which — first of all — rude. But also… correct," O'Donnell wrote. "Then Clay said, 'Young women look up to you,' And finally — with strong effect — 'I wouldn’t be able to respect you if you did it.' And that one… landed. That’s a big statement from someone who still needs you to open jars."

FORMER SUPERMODEL JANICE DICKINSON UNVEILS DRAMATIC RESULTS OF FACELIFT AT 71

O'Donnell said she saw her younger self in Clay, a version of herself that was judging her own appearance.

"It really threw me. I delayed the whole thing for months, just sitting with it, thinking," she admitted. "And then I had this quiet realization: if I’m teaching Clay anything, it can’t be that my body belongs to an idea either. Even a good idea. Even feminism."

"Because that’s still not freedom — that’s just a different authority telling you what you’re allowed to do with your own face," she continued.

After months of back-and-forth, O'Donnell had a facelift in January.

"I wanted a limit. I wanted to still be me, just… less haunted," she wrote. "And I do look like me — a slightly more well-rested, emotionally stable version of me."

Despite the positive outcome, O'Donnell said she began struggling with an immense amount of guilt and deceit.

"I have never liked secrets and part of my desire to show myself is to come clean. But who do I owe that truth to? Is it mine to keep?"

O'Donnell said she feels "shameful" over her privileged place in this world, admitting that the facelift "cost more money than I have ever paid for a car."

"The things I have — earned some say, but it's the gross excess that wounds me," she wrote.

"As I get ready for the last day of school with my youngest — the caboose here at 64 years old with a new lower face and neck, just happy to be alive, able to feel and choose and use my voice whenever I feel called to ... For the girl I was, the woman I am, and all those joining my ranks. As we carry on in act 3, this is me."

Princess Diana never forgave Sarah Ferguson for one betrayal that ended their friendship: book

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 07:00:24 -0400

Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson were once inseparable, famously dubbing themselves the "Terrible Twins" and the "Wicked Wives of Windsor." But a devastating rift between the royal rebels ended their friendship for good.

The claim comes from royal author Andrew Lownie, whose expanded edition of "Entitled" delves deeper into the lives and controversies surrounding the former Duke and Duchess of York.

Fox News Digital reached out to Ferguson's spokesperson for comment. A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace previously told Fox News Digital it does not comment on books.

FORMER PRINCE ANDREW, SARAH FERGUSON DUBBED ROYAL FAMILY’S ‘BONNIE AND CLYDE’ AS EPSTEIN FALLOUT GROWS: AUTHOR

"The two women, once close, had not spoken for months after Sarah had written about her sister-in-law, against Diana's wishes, in her memoir and made a joke about catching a verruca (wart) from one of Diana's shoes," Lownie wrote.

"The two were fourth cousins and had known each other since they were teenagers — their mothers had been at school together — and shared the experience of their mothers being denied custody of their children."

Lownie claimed that the sisters-in-law never reconciled after Sarah's 1996 memoir, "My Story," was published. Diana died in 1997 at age 36 from injuries sustained in a Paris car crash.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital that Diana suspected Sarah of "selling stories" and was reportedly "angered by mentions of her sons in the book."

Diana ignored Ferguson's apologies, Fitzwilliams claimed, adding, "If she had wanted to renew their friendship, she would have."

British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that the fallout wasn't just the result of a tell-all.

"It was the bigger picture that prompted Diana to cut ties with Sarah," Chard explained. "They'd survived a huge amount together. However, the memoir brought their private tensions into public view. It was the final straw, and alarm bells rang as Diana read conversations referring to her sons."

"Diana's privacy was her safety," Chard shared. "She felt Sarah was leaking personal information and trading on their conversations. Diana was fastidious about controlling her narrative. She used private information strategically.

"Diana felt 'Calamity Jane' Fergie, the great storyteller, was capable of revealing deeply personal details that could negatively affect her life. In Diana's mind, she had no choice but to cut ties with her once-trusted partner in crime and kindred spirit. She was protecting her image."

Lownie wrote that Diana and Sarah were friends long before they became royal wives. By the time Diana married then-Prince Charles in 1981, Sarah was already part of her social circle. Diana was said to be "in need of an ally" as she navigated royal life and "had already tried to make Sarah Ferguson one of her ladies-in-waiting."

Lownie claimed it was Diana who played matchmaker, bringing Sarah and the former Prince Andrew together. The couple went on to marry in 1986.

"Diana and Sarah were famously close as the two 'outsiders' in 'The Firm,'" Fitzwilliams explained. "They plotted together against an establishment they both found confining."

"Both from aristocratic backgrounds, they became as thick as thieves," Chard said. "They were each other's confidante and wingwoman, especially after marrying into the British royal family."

Both women endured turbulent marriages that played out on the world stage while raising two children. They were also targeted by the British press. Charles and Diana announced their separation in 1992, and their divorce was finalized in 1996. Following immense tabloid scrutiny and time apart, Andrew and Sarah separated in 1992, with their divorce also finalized in 1996.

Diana reportedly called Sarah the "canary in the coal mine," seeing her as a cautionary tale of what happened when a royal wife fell out of favor, British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. As Sarah endured relentless tabloid ridicule and growing isolation from the royal fold, Diana feared she was watching her own future unfold in real time.

Then came the books.

Diana secretly collaborated on Andrew Morton's 1992 bombshell "Diana: Her True Story," using it to expose her battles with bulimia, mental health struggles and a deeply troubled marriage.

Although Sarah reportedly intended references such as borrowing Diana's shoes to be humorous, royal commentators said Diana found the passage deeply hurtful. They suggested the episode left Diana feeling that a longstanding bond of trust had been broken.

"If Diana had lived, I believe they would have reconciled," Chard said. "[But] they were on different paths, with Diana also being the mother of the heir to the throne. Together, Diana and Fergie had been through so much. They valued loyalty once it was earned. With time and conversation, I believe they would have come to an understanding, as they were comrades in arms for the best part of their lives."

Royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner claimed that Diana's final years were marked by growing mistrust and anxiety. She became increasingly concerned about leaks from within her inner circle and believed that powerful forces were seeking to undermine her.

"She could not trust anyone," he said. "So, in some ways, self-isolation was necessary in her mind, including her friendship with Sarah. And Sarah’s book did not help matters, almost confirming the emotions in Diana’s mind. Should Diana have been alive today, personally, I feel the friendship with Sarah would have rekindled. An older and wiser Diana would have found peace and real love with another."

In 2011's "Finding Sarah," the former duchess admitted she and Diana had not spoken for a year before the princess died.

"I never knew the reason, except that once Diana got something stuck in her head, it stuck there for a while," Sarah wrote, as quoted by People magazine.

"I wrote letters, thinking whatever happened didn’t matter, let’s sort it out," she wrote. "And I knew she’d come back. In fact, the day before she died, she rang a friend of mine and said, ‘Where’s that Red? I want to talk to her.’

"In any sibling relationship, there are ups and downs and peaks and troughs, but we were always steadfast in our friendship. We never let the sun go down on too many heated discussions. Our bond was never broken."

Their friendship may have fractured in Diana's final years, but Sarah has spent decades keeping her friend's memory alive. Chard noted that Sarah remains a vocal defender of Diana's legacy, a view she expressed to Fox News Digital in 2023.

"I think people might be surprised to know how hilarious she was," Sarah said of her friend "Dutch" at the time.

"There was no one who could make me laugh harder or more immediately than Diana. She was incredible and one of life's true soul mates for me."

This isn't the first time Hadid was spotted relaxing on a yacht, as she was photographed enjoying time with her friends on a yacht while in a metallic gold bikini after walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival.

She walked the red carpet at many events throughout the festival in various stunning, including the premiere of "De Gaulle: Tilting Iron," where she wore a white figure-hugging custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture gown.

Hadid recently had fans worried about her health when she walked the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in October 2025. After the show, fans took to social media to show their concern for the 29-year-old model, who they thought "was struggling" on the runway, with another saying, "I thought she was gonna fall."

Concern among fans came just one month after her mom, former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, Yolanda Hadid, shared that the model was hospitalized due to her Lyme disease diagnosis. Bella was diagnosed with the neurological disorder in 2013.
