Starmer calls on ex-Prince Andrew to testify before Congress after latest Epstein release U.K. Prime Minister Kier Starmer called on the former Prince Andrew to testify before Congress after the latest Epstein files release.The trove of documents includes photos of the former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, kneeling over an unidentified woman. Two of the photos, released on Jan. 30, show Mountbatten-Windsor crouched on the ground with his hand resting on her stomach as he looked down at her. A third shows him on his knees with his hands resting on either side of her body as he looks at the camera.Starmer confirmed his support for Mountbatten-Windsor to testify in the U.S. in comments to reporters on Saturday."In terms of testifying, I have always said anybody who has got information should be prepared to share that information," Starmer said. ANDREW'S ALLEGED EMAILS TO GHISLAINE MAXWELL IN JEFFREY EPSTEIN FILES REQUESTED 'INAPPROPRIATE FRIENDS' "You can't be victim-centered if you're not prepared to do that," he continued. "Epstein's victims have to be the first priority."Mountbatten-Windsor announced in mid-October he was giving up his royal titles, and the palace announced later that month that King Charles " initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew."Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released the newest photos last week. They previously called on Mountbatten-Windsor to testify in November, when his titles were removed. NEW GHISLAINE MAXWELL MUGSHOT INCLUDED IN DOJ'S LATEST EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE In another drop of photos, released on Dec. 19, Mountbatten-Windsor can be seen lying down on the laps of five people, whose faces have all been blacked out, while Maxwell and a sixth unknown person with their faces blacked out stand behind them.While none of the photographs showed Mountbatten-Windsor with Epstein, People magazine reported at the time that the evidence also included a screenshot of an email Epstein sent in March 2011 to someone listed as "The Duke," believed to be Andrew, who was then the Duke of York.Aside from his relationship with Epstein, Andrew was also accused of sexual assault by Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre. Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Andrew, claiming she was forced to have sex with him three times, including when she was 17 years old.The case was settled out of court in 2022 without Andrew acknowledging any wrongdoing.

In addition, Seymour, who has previously authored several self-help books, said that she is working on her autobiography , which she said will be published next year. Looking back at her career, Seymour admitted that it was "really hard" to name her favorite project.  "It's like asking who's your favorite child," she told Fox News Digital. "But I would say [the 1988 miniseries] 'War and Remembrance' was very huge for me because my parents survived World War II and to really kind of set back in time with survivors in the real places and to recreate that was huge. 'Dr. Quinn,' of course, was magical. And 'Somewhere in Time' was probably the happiest movie and most amazing experience I ever had. And then of course, [the 2005 comedy] 'Wedding Crashers.'"I mean, oh my God, that was just the best thing because I did 'Wedding Crashers' and after that I was able to be the comedian, which I probably should have been right along from the beginning," Seymour added with a laugh. On Feb. 15, Seymour will mark her milestone 75th birthday .

"And also, the baby boomers are still around. We're the ones that are buying things. We're the ones that are watching everything.

I take control. I go after what I want," she said. "I am confident, and I am successful, and I don't actually need a man. I've got myself. I've got an incredible group of girlfriends. I've got a team of badass women. That is very intimidating to a lot of guys, so a guy needs to be able to stand in that with me. It takes a very specific person who can handle the world that comes with me. There was a guy who I really, really liked, but he told me he can't handle my world. It's a hard thing."

"Last spring, I was with my best friend, Jade, at the car shop where I built my Bronco. We were talking about guys and googling the most eligible bachelors, and of course, we were coming up short. There was nothing good. She was like, 'Well, what are you looking for?' And I was like, 'I just want a guy who is loyal, who loves me, who is playful, and who will cuddle.' And she goes, 'Oh, so you want a dog?' And I was like, 'I guess I do.' So we went on Craigslist, and I got myself a German shepherd. And now I have Sully, who is my forever boyfriend."On Tuesday, Sweeney took to social media to announce the Jan. 28 launch of Syrn (pronounced "siren") with sizzling new promotional photos."I was in the 6th grade with DDs.

Designing for different bodies is a huge part of Syrn.""I wanted to create a place where women can move between all the different versions of who we are," she continued.

Ali Larter's rise from shock 'Varsity Blues' whipped cream bikini moment to 'Landman' leading lady Ali Larter has been in the business for over two decades and has quite the resume.In a recent interview with People magazine , the 49-year-old "Landman" star spoke about filming her many bikini scenes on the show, noting she doesn't "think there's an actress alive that's like, 'Woo! Got a bikini scene!'""Those are the hardest for me," she continued. "I don't enjoy them. It's just part of the story that I'm telling, and I'm an actress, so I get on board. But those are definitely my least favorite."Here is a look back at her career, starting from her modeling days in the 1990s to her transition into acting. 'LANDMAN' STAR ALI LARTER ON WHY FANS CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF SHOW'S 'MESSY' FAMILY DRAMA The actress got her start in the industry as a model when she was 13 years old. Her modeling career took her around the world before she decided to step away from the fashion industry and pursue acting.Following a few small roles, including appearances on "Suddenly Susan" and "Dawson's Creek," Larter had her big break when she starred as Darcy in the 1999 movie, "Varsity Blues.""'Varsity Blues' is what began it all, and it was a really feel good movie... I think it was a simpler time in a way and I think that, again, it was a feel good movie, but I love that even for Darcy, I was able to show her vulnerability," Larter told People about the film in November 2025. "This was a girl who was trying to find her way out, and then you see her deeply embarrassed and crying over the choices that she's made for herself as a young girl."The movie centers on a high school football team and their coach, played by Jon Voight, who will go to great lengths to secure his team's win. 'LANDMAN' STAR ALI LARTER GETS UNEXPECTED PRAISE AND 'BADA--' COMPLIMENT FROM HOLLYWOOD ICON Larter's character appears in one of the film's most memorable moments, attempting to entice the team's quarterback, played by James Van Der Beek , by wearing a whipped cream bikini. When watching the clip back during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in January, she joked she has "scarred" her son and father for life."Even going into 'Varsity Blues,' I was just learning this industry," she told People in November 2025. "I spent so much in my twenties in different acting studios with different acting coaches, learning the different processes, and taking little bits of each thing to put into my toolbox that as I got more and more experience, I knew where to draw from. It was just sweet. It was a great kickoff."After getting her start on "Varsity Blues," Larter landed a leading role in her first franchise film series, starring as Clear Rivers in the first "Final Destination" movie in 2000.The movie tells the story of a group of people who are kicked off of a flight to Paris due to a fight which starts after one of the passengers has a premonition that the plane will explode midflight and kill everyone on board. Once off the plane, those left behind, including Larter's character, witness the plane explode just after takeoff.One by one, those who cheated death later die in bizarre accidents, leading Clear and the only remaining survivor to realize they are also in danger.Larter then reprised the role of Clear Rivers in the 2003 sequel, but didn't return for the remaining films in the franchise. The film required a lot of stunts, many of which Larter performed herself."I think that they realized that I could do that stuff," she told Entertainment Tonight earlier this month. "I'm very athletic. I've played sports my entire life. And when I'm learning something or doing stunts, I'm there. I'm excited to learn. Um, my personality is someone who has a growth mentality. I love learning new things."Larter appeared in her first-ever comedy in the 2001 movie, "Legally Blonde," alongside Reese Witherspoon , Selma Blair and others.The light-hearted film follows Witherspoon's character, Elle Woods, on her journey to try to win back her boyfriend by attending Harvard Law School, and in the end finding out she was capable of much more than she initially believed.Larter portrayed Brooke Windham, a fitness mogul, who is on trial for murdering her husband. The character was seen as a blonde bombshell who is devoted to exercise and her appearance."You never know," she told Entertainment Tonight about the film's success. "But I knew the script was really funny, and I did want to work with Reese and I wanted to play this character, because I remember going in and auditioning for it and like slapping my butt in it and like kind of really going for it." 'LANDMAN' STAR ALI LARTER REVEALS 4:30 A.M. WORKOUT ROUTINE AND DIET SECRETS The movie went on to become a classic, inspiring a sequel and a prequel series set to release soon on Amazon Prime. In addition, a third film, focusing on Elle in her 40s, is currently in the works."I have not heard a thing. I mean, we all hope. Who knows where it will go," she told InStyle in November 2025 about the third film. "We're kind of aging up, so I don't know. I don't know, but maybe Michelle [Randolph] will be playing me soon."Larter joined her second franchise when she starred in "Resident Evil: Extinction," the third film in the "Resident Evil" series, continuing to appear on the franchise until the 2016 installment, "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter."The movie takes place in a post-apocalyptic world after the spread of a man-made virus, and follows a group of survivors as they battle zombies and monsters, as well as the corporation responsible for the spread of the virus.Larter portrayed Claire Redfield, who teams up with the main character in the third film to help civilians get to safety."It's something that's incredible," she told ABC in January 2017. "I've traveled around the world with this movie, and to be able to be in something that is female-led, where you would typically see men in these roles, and then after three movies together, you don't see us pit against each other. It's about women building each other up, and you don't fall into those cliché traps."In between her starring roles in big franchise films, Larter also starred in four seasons of the hit NBC show "Heroes." The show revolved around a group of ordinary people who realize they have supernatural powers and must work together to prevent a catastrophic event.Larter plays multiple characters on the show, including Niki Sanders, a single mom who works as an online stripper to support her son and who develops superhuman strength.

That was just a show that hit at the right time."In later seasons, she portrays Tracy Strauss, a political operative who has the ability to freeze people.Larter's latest success is her starring role in the Paramount + hit, "Landman," which follows wealthy oil tycoons and the laborers on the oil rigs in West Texas as the industry begins to take over the state.The series stars Billy Bob Thornton as Tommy Norris, a former laborer turned landman, who Larter's character, Angela Norris, was married to and is still very much connected to.

"When I look around, the sexiest women I know are the women that own it.

Very simple," the " Love Boat " alum said of welcoming the aging process. "One, despair, cry, depression, feeling terrible. Another, eh, I'm going to take a second choice because I'm going to be wiser. Nobody's going to screw me like they did before. I'm going to learn from my mistakes.

A glass of champagne, a piece of chocolate, then right away, I have it. I made it," she continued. "I made a deal with myself and I want every woman that is listening to this interview... No matter the age. Think about it. Every year you learn something. Every year is something new. Every year you have new friends.

Jon Gosselin says he coughed up a 'blood clot' in terrifying medical crisis weeks before wedding Jon Gosselin opened up about experiencing a terrifying medical crisis in the weeks leading up to his wedding last November. During an interview with Fox News Digital, the 47-year-old "Jon & Kate Plus 8" alum detailed how he suffered a health scare ahead of marrying his now-wife Stephanie Lebo, recalling that he realized he needed serious medical attention after coughing up a "blood clot."Gosselin explained that he began feeling unwell in late October ahead of the Halloween party that he hosts every year.  JON GOSSELIN AND DAUGHTER HANNAH USING MEDICATION, ULTRASOUND THERAPY FOR WEIGHT LOSS "I had this pain in my calf and I was like, 'Whatever, you know, it could be anything,'" he remembered. "But about 12 hours later, I had a pain in the groin and my calf wasn't hurting anymore, and I told my boy Eric - I was like, 'Dude, something's wrong.'""I went home that night and my groin pain went away, and then my shoulder started to hurt," Gosselin continued. "I was like, 'Uh-oh.'"The reality star shared that he then dissolved into a coughing fit and became increasingly alarmed when he began coughing up blood. "And I was coughing, and I cough up this coagulated blood clot thing," he recalled. "That was a huge sign. If I wouldn't have coughed that up, I would not have gone to the hospital." KATE GOSSELIN SHARES HOSPITAL PHOTO ON SOCIAL MEDIA ASKING FOR PRAYERS DURING MEDICAL EMERGENCY "So I coughed up this blood thing, and then I was really scared," Gosselin continued. "It was like one o'clock in the morning. Steph was sleeping and I'm like - I just shook her. I'm like, 'I got to go to the hospital .' Gosselin recalled that he drove himself to the hospital, which he described as a "no-no" due to his medical state. "And they took my blood pressure, and it was skyrocketing," he said. WATCH: Jon Gosselin recalls terrifying moment he coughed up 'blood clot' during medical crisis Gosselin said he subsequently underwent an MRI, during which doctors discovered a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his leg, along with two pulmonary embolisms - one in each lung - a serious, potentially life-threatening condition. Gosselin was admitted to the hospital and treated with IV blood thinners, including heparin. He explained that he previously experienced a DVT a month after being hospitalized with COVID-19, which at the time was thought to be related to immobility. "I thought it was just coincidental because of COVID, being on bed rest," he recalled. "And now it's more of a thing now. Is it chronic? I don't know. I'm going through testing for that."Gosselin went on to share how he handled experiencing the health scare so shortly before his wedding. "It really upset Steph, you know, the added stress," he said. "So I was trying to not let her worry so much before the wedding." 'BLIND SIDE' STAR QUINTON AARON'S FAMILY REVEALS DIAGNOSIS AFTER LIFE SUPPORT SCARE The celebrity DJ noted that he was very concerned at the time due to the unforeseen nature of his medical scare and focused on taking care of his health ahead of the nuptials."I reflected more on looking after myself, but I didn't even know I had this problem," he said. Gosselin also explained that he was working with doctors to determine the underlying cause of his health issues. "I take testosterone, which increases your red blood cell count," he said. "So you're supposed to go get blood draws, like phlebotomy, to reduce your blood cell count. And I missed my appointment. So was it because of that? So I came off testosterone a little bit to make sure that my levels are just normal." KATE GOSSELIN CONFIRMS ROMANCE WITH FORMER BODYGUARD FOLLOWING AFFAIR ALLEGATIONS DURING 2009 DIVORCE "No supplements or anything like that," Gosselin continued. "So then I just got my insurance all cleared up. So now I'm going to go back and get my lab work done and stuff like that to see what my red blood cell count is now. "This could also be a bone marrow problem," he added. "You produce too many red blood cells. They told me that, my pulmonary doctor and my pulmonologist, so they're going to look at all that stuff as well. But it's not like I was doing anything different. I was on supplements, I was on testosterone. I take my supplemental GLP-1, but that didn't cause clotting issue." "So I was more concerned. So I just kind of cold-turkeyed everything and just took the medicine that they gave me. And Steph was on me about like being more healthy and all that kind of stuff. But we made it through the wedding. So that's all, and I'm still here today."Gosselin also recalled how his children Hannah and Collin reacted once they learned of his health crisis and how they worried work as a DJ, which often requires late hours, may have contributed to his condition."I only told Stephanie when I was admitted and my mother, and then Steph called Hannah and Hannah called me right away," he said. "She was super upset and like, 'Dad.' They're always blaming it on like, working late, and Colin was upset too. Like, 'Oh, your hours.' I'm like, 'That has nothing to do with any of that.' It really doesn't have to do with a lifestyle.""It has to do with genetics, [my doctors] were saying, and it has to with maybe testosterone and other supplements , but they can't rule either out," Gosselin explained.He noted that years had passed since he was last diagnosed with a DVT and the condition had not reoccurred until recently.  APP USERS CLICK HERE TO VIEW POST  "And then, I've been on supplemental injectables for, I don't know, two years, and I've never had a DVT or anything like that," he said. "So it's kind of like maybe a culmination of things, but it wasn't my actual lifestyle or my DJ career or anything, or anything that. So that's what I was trying to explain to my children. Like it [has] nothing to do with me making money. It has to do with genetics. So you need to go get tested too."Gosselin is father to eight children, all of whom he shares with his ex-wife Kate Gosselin, including twins Mady and Cara, 25, and sextuplets Hannah, Collin, Leah, Aaden, Alexis and Joel, 21. He has said he is close to Hannah and Collin, while he has been estranged from his other six children for several years, though he has expressed hope that those relationships can heal over time.While speaking with Fox News Digital, Gosselin said he sought help from his friend and health strategist Rachel Strauss after being confronted with a staggering hospital bill following an 18-hour stay upon his discharge. "I received a $20,000 bill, and it really shocked me," he said. "So I was working with this lady named Rachel Strauss, who is a healthcare specialist who helps people navigate their billings and invoices through hospitals or any healthcare facility."Gosselin explained that Strauss instructed him to request an itemized bill for her to look over. Each line item on an itemized bill is tied to a medical billing code that tells insurers exactly which procedures were performed. KATE GOSSELIN UNDERGOES SURGERY FOR 'LIFE-ALTERING' INJURY THAT LEFT HER HOSPITALIZED For many people, medical billing codes can be confusing since they are written for insurers and billing departments, not patients. Codes are usually long strings of numbers and letters that are not easily understood by patients unless they are already familiar with the system. Gosselin told Fox News Digital that Strauss "knows everything about coding and what you're being charged for and what you weren't charged for and what we aren't charged for.

There was no way to predict it. But know that there's someone like Rachel out there helping people navigate their medical billing. I didn't even know, really, that there was people like that.

"As a culture, you know when I was a Mormon, we want our lives to be beautiful. We want our lives to be like Instagram squares, and I think we have a very gendered culture," Gay said. "I think that culture bleeds into us having a lot of pressure on us as women to look a certain way.

Are you sure this is a better choice for you or your family,'" she said."It is shocking how it's kind of universally celebrated - weight loss - but when you unload something much heavier with much more weight on my heart, mind and soul, that was criticized heavily.

"And you have to remember that the majority of my life, people considered me to be totally overweight. I didn't consider myself to be anything other than who I was. "But I was very aware of how the world wanted more from me and was disappointed in how I looked.

Jurors found Chasing Horse guilty of 13 of the 21 charges he faced, most involving a victim who was 14 years old when the assaults began. He was acquitted on several sexual assault charges from a later period when the victim was older and living with him and other companions. 'DANCES WITH WOLVES' ACTOR CHARGED IN NEVADA SEX ABUSE CASE AND IN CANADA FOR RAPE OF WOMEN, CHILDREN  The 49-year-old defendant faces a minimum of 25 years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for March 11.Prosecutors said the former actor weaponized his reputation as a Lakota medicine man, exploiting cultural traditions and spiritual beliefs to prey on Indigenous women and girls.The verdict capped a yearslong effort to hold Chasing Horse accountable after he was first arrested and indicted in 2023, sending what authorities described as shock waves through the area. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

The jury ultimately returned guilty verdicts on charges tied to all three accusers.Deputy District Attorney Bianca Pucci told jurors that, for nearly two decades, Chasing Horse "spun a web of abuse" that trapped vulnerable women.Prosecutors said the main accuser was just 14 years old in 2012 when Chasing Horse allegedly told her that spirits demanded she give up her virginity to save her mother, who had been diagnosed with cancer.According to Pucci, the assaults continued for years, reinforced by warnings that her mother would die if she told anyone.

He became widely known for portraying Smiles a Lot in Kevin Costner's Oscar-winning 1990 film "Dances with Wolves," one of the most prominent movies of its time to feature Native American actors.The trial unfolded amid increased scrutiny of violence against Native women, an issue authorities have acknowledged has long been underreported and under-prosecuted.Chasing Horse also faces sex crime charges in other states and in Canada .

'Sanford and Son' star Grady Demond Wilson dead at 79 Grady Demond Wilson, the actor best known for playing Lamont Sanford on the popular 1970s series "Sanford and Son," has died at his home in California, according to The New York Times . He was 79.His son, Christopher Wilson, said his father had prostate cancer.  "Sanford and Son" premiered on NBC in January 1972 and starred comedian Redd Foxx, who played sharp-tongued junk dealer Fred Sanford. But Wilson's Lamont provided the show's emotional backbone, a frustrated, quick-tempered son constantly at odds with his father while keeping their messy world from collapsing. HOLLYWOOD STARS WHO DIED IN 2026: PHOTOS Wilson's character became the grounding force of the series , forever fuming at his father's "you big dummy" digs. While Foxx's Fred thrived on theatrics and biting insults, Wilson's Lamont was the show's grounding force. The hotheaded, exasperated son snapped back with lines like, "You'll have to excuse my father," "Are you sure about that, Pop?" and "Hey, Pop! I'm home," keeping the chaos in check while carrying the emotional weight of the series.Storylines often revolved around Lamont's frustrations and ambitions, and Wilson's performance gave the comedy its balance, a balance that helped turn "Sanford and Son" into a cultural phenomenon.The series ran six seasons, consistently ranking among Nielsen's top 10 shows for its first five years and landing in the top five three times. In a 1972 feature with Ebony magazine, "Sanford and Son: Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson Wake Up TV's Jaded Audience," the publication hailed Wilson as "excellent." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Reflecting on his breakthrough role, Wilson told Ebony at the time, "For me, it's like graduating from school." Born Grady Demond Wilson on Oct. 13, 1946, in Valdosta, Georgia, Wilson grew up in Harlem, the son of a tailor and a school dietitian. He studied dance and theater from an early age, appearing on Broadway before making his screen debut in 1971.That year, he appeared in Norman Lear's "All in the Family" as one of two burglars - alongside Cleavon Little - who held Archie Bunker hostage while delivering pointed commentary on poverty, policing and race. Wilson's other film credits included Sidney Poitier's crime drama "The Organization" and the counterculture film "Dealing: Or the Berkeley-to-Boston Forty-Brick Lost-Bag Blues."Even as "Sanford and Son" dominated ratings, tension simmered off screen. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Foxx temporarily walked out in 1974 over a contract dispute, and the series ended in spring 1977 with Fred and Lamont still locked in their fiery dynamic.Wilson later starred in "Baby ... I'm Back!" and "The New Odd Couple," though neither matched the cultural staying power of his breakout role. A ruptured appendix nearly ended Wilson's life at age 12, a moment he later called transformative. From that day forward, faith guided him. He was raised Roman Catholic but was shaped by Pentecostal worship with his grandmother. He was ordained in the 1980s as a minister in the Church of God in Christ, dedicating himself to preaching and evangelism. He also pursued writing, publishing "The New Age Millennium: An Exposé of Symbols, Slogans and Hidden Agendas," his memoir "Second Banana: The Bittersweet Memoirs of the Sanford & Son Years" and several children's books. Acting remained part of his life with appearances in "Me and the Kid," "Hammerlock," a recurring role on UPN's "Girlfriends" and his final performance in "Eleanor's Bench" in 2023.Wilson was candid about his view of Hollywood."We've left the rat race and false people behind," he told the Los Angeles Times in 1986. Reflecting on his acting career, he said, "It wasn't challenging. And it was emotionally exhausting because I had to make it appear that I was excited about what I was doing." In 2023, he emphasized, "Hollywood doesn't mean anything to me. I went to a factory. For me, that's what it was - a business. I didn't belong there." Wilson married model Cicely Johnston in 1974.He is survived by Johnston and their six children - Christopher, Nicole, Melissa, Sarah, Tabatha and Demond Jr. - and two grandchildren.

Former Sports Illustrated model turned influencer, Haley "Baylee" Kalil , is in hot water after speaking about her ex-husband during a live stream.The 33-year-old influencer recently filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed against her by her ex-husband, former NFL offensive lineman Matt Kalil, who accused her of "invasive commentary" during a live stream on Twitch in November 2025.Matt and Haley met and got married in 2015, prior to her gaining national attention for her photographs in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.Here is a look back at Haley's professional career leading up to her most recent legal battle with her ex-husband. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT MODEL HALEY KALIL GETS CANDID ON PERSONAL HEALTH BATTLE: 'I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN' Haley began her journey with modeling while attending St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, where she was studying medical biology.While in school, she entered the Miss Minnesota USA pageant in 2014 and placed as runner-up. She then began working on local and commercial modeling while in school.She continued to work as a model and in 2017 entered the Sports Illustrated Swim Search, ultimately winning a spot in the magazine and gaining national attention. The following year, she was named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie of the Year and continued modeling with the company through 2019."Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has truly, I mean truly, changed my life," Kalil told Sports Illustrated Swimsuit in December 2024. "I went from being somebody that had no modeling experience, I had never had a modeling agency, I was turned down by every modeling agency I ever contacted ... And so, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit has truly opened up so many doors for me. It's all about embracing beauty in every different shape, size, color, and it's that diversity that makes Sports Illustrated Swimsuit so beautiful."Haley began posting on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic, explaining on a recent episode of the " Not Skinny But Not Fat " podcast that initially "my entire following I think was like 99% dudes," because she was posting sexy content because she thought that was what she "was supposed to post as a model."Things changed for her after she appeared in another influencer, Caleb Simpson's apartment tour series. Her apartment tour went viral , with Haley saying on the podcast, "I hit a million like right after. I thought pretty fast.""The thing that surprised me was I was used to a world where like it was men in my comment section," she explained. "It was men talking about my body, talking about my face, oversexualizing me pretty much, which, like I put myself in that position. I don't judge them for that. But this was women in the comment section of Caleb's video, and it was women being like, 'Yo, I vibe with her.'"After her apartment tour went viral, she realized she could step away from what she learned in her modeling career about "how men are supposed to perceive me" and just be herself, since "women are vibing with me," which she said was "a really, really, really good feeling."Her career as an influencer has been extremely successful, as she has amassed over 16 million followers, with her videos consistently reaching over two million views. She has also been invited to interview celebrities on the red carpet for her own social media and outlets such as E! News and Variety, at events like the Golden Globes, Grammys and Oscars. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT MODEL HALEY KALIL STUNS AUDIENCES DURING SURPRISE APPEARANCE AT MIAMI RUNWAY SHOW Most recently she was spotted at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards.Haley's career as an influencer has not come without its fair share of controversy.The influencer faced backlash in May 2024 when she posted a video of herself at the Met Gala dressed in an 18th century style dress and headpiece, syncing her lips to audio of Kirsten Dunst saying "Let them eat cake" in a scene from the 2006 movie "Marie Antoinette."Many found the now-deleted video to be tone-deaf, as she posted it as pro-Palestinian protesters were standing outside the Met Gala . One commenter wrote, "The sound choice that you're using is wild. We are truly living in a dystopian world," while another told her to "read the room."Haley posted an eight-minute apology video on TikTok following the backlash, explaining she wasn't even invited to the Met Gala and was just there interviewing attendees for E!'s coverage. She also said she was "sorry that I chose a sound that you guys could ever possibly feel was malicious in nature," and that she wouldn't have chosen it if she knew people would be offended. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "I never would have chosen a sound on purpose to highlight wealth disparity or elitism. I never even thought it would be taken in that way, because I wasn't elite enough to even be invited to the Met Gala because I'm not elite. I'm a normal person," she said. "My dumb self just used an audio that I thought was viral and trending and that people recognized from the 'Marie Antoinette' 2006 movie. I didn't think that much into it, and for that I am so sorry. I did not do my due diligence."During a recent appearance on the " Not Skinny But Not Fat " podcast, Haley discussed the early days of her career and how she never thought she would have a career in entertainment.Growing up in Minnesota, Haley explained she always "idolized" fashion and YouTube and the entertainment industry, but "just didn't think I would ever have access to it," adding her parents never would have allowed her to have a YouTube account before she turned 18."But that was always my dream, like I loved performing, and so I went to school for biomedical engineering psych with a minor in chem, so I was planning on medical school, " she told the podcast host. "No one in my family was in entertainment. No one even remotely like lives anywhere besides Minnesota... so like we're... it feels so unattainable."She went on to say that the feeling of it being unattainable is probably "one of the reasons why" the last few years of her life have felt "like a blur," because she is "just amazing I'm even doing this."Haley previously told Fox News Digital in an August 2020 interview that seeing her Sports Illustrated photos for the first time "was really a magical moment for me" because she felt like "Every inch of my body is celebrated.""But when I was growing up, I was always kind of a nerd. I was always teased for what I looked like. Whenever I would tell anyone I wanted to be a model, I was laughed out of a room. So this has been a long time coming for me. And as women, it's really hard to see ourselves the way other people might see us." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Haley's ex-husband Matt filed a lawsuit against her on Jan. 6 accusing her of providing "invasive commentary" on their marriage during a Twitch live stream in November 2025.During the live stream, Haley spoke about the couple's sex life, telling the viewers the size of his penis was " the biggest factor " in their divorce. In the complaint, Matt alleged that Haley's words "implied that the size of Plaintiff's genitalia was a primary factor in the parties' divorce and claimed that sexual intercourse with Plaintiff would leave her 'in tears.'"In response to her ex's complaint, Haley filed a motion to dismiss his lawsuit on Jan. 23, with her attorney, Matthew Bialick, telling People they filed the motion "because Minnesota has a longstanding commitment to free speech, which is important now more than ever.""Allowing a lawsuit to proceed against a woman for sharing a truthful, autobiographical account of sexual trauma would directly undermine those core values. We believe the motion will be granted," he said.Matt's attorney, Ryan Saba of Rosen Saba LLP, responded to Haley's motion to dismiss, telling People : "Haley Kalil's motion to dismiss does not dispute the fact that she wantonly disclosed private and intimate details about Matt Kalil that resulted in widespread ridicule and unwanted attention.""The motion completely misses the point that a spouse does not have a right to expose private and confidential marital and sexual details for the purpose of profiting," he continued. "We expect that the motion will be completely denied." Spencer Pratt says A-listers privately cheer his criticism of California leadership, fear career fallout Spencer Pratt says many in Hollywood privately support his criticism of Los Angeles leadership, but fear keeps them silent.The 41-year-old reality TV star and "The Guy You Loved to Hate" author, who rose to fame on MTV's "The Hills" and is now launching a bid for mayor of Los Angeles, told Fox News Digital that while he often finds himself standing alone in public, the support he receives behind closed doors tells a very different story.According to Pratt, those conversations tend to happen far from cameras and social media. He said they often take place in restaurants, where well-known figures feel safe enough to ask questions, listen and express gratitude without attaching their names to his cause."I know actual A-list stars support what I do, because I've been at restaurants, and they sit down at the table, and they quiz me about everything that I know for 20 minutes and thank me," Pratt said. "But these people know if they do that publicly, they risk losing their careers that some of them have been working for 30 years to have." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Pratt said he understands the risks that come with speaking publicly and doesn't fault those who choose to stay quiet."So, I don't judge them," he added. "It's just the same with firefighters that don't come forward with the truth because of retaliation. There's no difference between public employees who know what's going on and celebrities. Everyone sees what's happening, but everyone's scared to talk."The fear Pratt describes is not limited to Hollywood insiders. He said it reflects a broader culture of silence across Los Angeles, where people see what is happening around them but hesitate to speak publicly.For years, Pratt admits, he was part of that silence himself. CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES POLICE SHOOT DOWN CELEBRITIES FLOATING ARSON THEORIES "Well, it's obvious that they burned my house down, is what gave me the confidence, because I was quiet as well," he said. "I let a lot of this stuff happen over the years because I'm in my house, I'm just going to turn on the TV and pretend that what's happening in Los Angeles isn't happening. But once that's gone, it's real easy to speak up." WATCH: SPENCER PRATT SAYS HOLLYWOOD STARS PRIVATELY SUPPORT HIM BUT ARE SCARED TO SPEAK OUT Pratt's decision to speak publicly and eventually step into politics didn't come overnight. He said losing his home forced him to confront realities he could no longer ignore and stripped away the comfort that once allowed him to disengage.Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, lost their Pacific Palisades home in a wildfire in January 2025. Pratt said his parents also lost their home in the fires.Once that shift happened, Pratt said he began to see his voice as less optional and more necessary. He believes the timing of that realization was not accidental.Pratt said the release of his memoir and his decision to run for mayor unfolded simultaneously in a way that felt beyond his control. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "The timing of the mayor and the book - that's God's timing because the book actually came together right after the fires over a year ago," he told Fox News Digital. "So, the writing's been happening all year."As the manuscript took shape, Pratt said he was watching the political landscape closely and growing increasingly frustrated."And then when I saw that nobody was stepping up to run against Mayor Karen Bass in the last month or so, I had to do it," he said. "Again, it's God's timing."That frustration, Pratt said, ultimately led him to challenge the city's leadership directly."I'm going to run against you because you shouldn't have this job," Pratt said. "You should have resigned on January 7 on the airplane back from Africa." WATCH: SPENCER PRATT SAYS HIS MAYORAL RUN AND MEMOIR CAME TOGETHER THROUGH 'GOD'S TIMING' LA FIRES: TOMMY LEE RIPS CELEBRITIES PROMOTING THEMSELVES DURING ONE OF THE BIGGEST DISASTERS OF ALL TIME Despite knowing the decision would bring scrutiny and criticism, Pratt said a sense of inevitability carried him forward.The memoir at the center of that moment, "The Guy You Love to Hate," takes a deep dive into the public persona Pratt became known for during his rise to fame on reality television and the strategy behind it."The memoir is called 'The Guy You Love to Hate' because my goal was always to be fun and entertaining," Pratt said. "Obviously, it went sideways at times, but it was to make TV and to have drama, to be like a soap opera."Pratt said that, early in his career, he received advice that shaped how he approached reality television and the role he played within it."David Foster gave me advice when I first did my first television show to be the Simon Cowell - the new young Simon Cowell - of reality," he recalled. "I went a little far with it, obviously."Looking back, Pratt acknowledges that the character he leaned into often lacked logic or restraint, but he insists it was never accidental."And I wasn't judging anyone's talent, so there wasn't really any logic to what I was doing," he said. "But there was always a purpose, as you'll read in the book."That purpose, Pratt said, was financial."It was a plan to make money with this character," he explained. "I wasn't doing it for free." WATCH: SPENCER PRATT EXPLAINS WHY HE EMBRACED BEING 'THE GUY YOU LOVE TO HATE' TV HOST CALLS LA FIRES 'A DISASTER,' SAYS NOT ENOUGH WAS DONE BY ELECTED OFFICIALS Pratt said one of the biggest misconceptions about him is confusing the character he played on television with who he actually was."Who I was versus who I was being," Pratt said.Now, with more distance from that chapter of his life, Pratt said he views even his most controversial moments differently.Asked whether there were parts of his life he wishes he could change, Pratt said he doesn't regret any of it."I don't regret any chapters of my life because they are hard experiences that got me here to go up against someone like Karen Bass and the system of Los Angeles politics," he said.Instead, Pratt said those failures became preparation - lessons that sharpened him for the fight he believes lies ahead."So, I look at even my failures and mistakes as training ground for where I am now," he said. "I look at them as lessons learned to do better in the future."Spencer Pratt's memoir, "The Guy You Loved to Hate," is out now.

I've always been here to make art, so this is just not a conversation I want to be at the forefront of. And I think because of that, people want to take it even further and use me as their own pawn.

'Shark Tank' star Kevin O'Leary says Timothee Chalamet refused stunt double for violent 'Marty Supreme' scene Kevin O'Leary reflected on one of the most memorable - and definitely the most brutal - scene in the Oscar-nominated "Marty Supreme" in which his character paddles Timothée Chalamet to humiliate him.The "Shark Tank" star told Fox News Digital that they started shooting the scene around 3:45 in the morning, and a stunt performer was going to take the beating, not the A-list Chalamet."We had a stunt a--," O'Leary explained. "And the idea was the stunt a-- would come in. We had a fake paddle with a silicon hinge on it, and that broke on the first hit. It just didn't work. It didn't even look real."Then he said Chalamet surprised everyone by proclaiming: "'Wait a second, it's gonna be my a--. I'm not gonna let someone else immortalize their a-- as my a--, I'll do my a--!' And I said, 'Look, man, we're gonna go to a real paddle here. I'll try and hold back.'"

"'So, Timmy, either let the, you know, stunt a-- sit in, or you're gonna get your a-- whacked.'" WATCH: KEVIN O'LEARY ON BRUTAL 'MARTY SUPREME' SCENE THAT EVEN FILM CREW STRUGGLED TO WATCH The first-time feature film actor said he "laid into him, and he got his a-- whacks one cheek at a time, so the other could cool down.

TIMOTHEE CHALAMET CALLS 'CHILD-FREE' LIFE 'BLEAK,' SAYS FATHERHOOD IS 'ON THE RADAR' FOR HIM "It's now 4.30 in the morning. It was insane, you know, like, it was just nuts," he told Fox News Digital. "The whole thing was crazy, and we were doing it, and we weren't following the script, and it ended up being a very important scene in the movie, and it pulled a lot out of us because even some of the extras and even some the camera guys and lighting guys said afterwards: 'This is really hard to watch. And we need to take a few seconds off. Like, let's just take a couple of seconds between these takes.'"O'Leary estimated it took 30 to 40 takes to get through the scene.But he said he knew right away that Chalamet would win an Oscar.

" It's a very interesting change from the binary world I live in of finance and business investment and real estate and everything else," he admitted. "This is just, it's just sheer chaos. It's just total chaos. And you know, the creative aspect is often improvised ... Some of the best lines in that movie were on the 20th take. There were mistakes, and that's how it was formed. And then, of course, the genius of cutting it and editing it and the way those guys worked together. Safdie and [co-producer and writer] Ronald Bronstein, I mean, it was a remarkable outcome." Blake Lively's private voice message to Justin Baldoni emerges as legal fight escalates An audio message that Blake Lively sent to Justin Baldoni was released in the ongoing legal back-and-forth between the "It Ends With Us" co-stars, offering an intimate glimpse into their professional and personal dynamic before everything fell apart.Lively and Baldoni have been locked in a heated battle over what allegedly went down on the set of the drama in 2023. Months after filming wrapped, Lively accused her co-star of sexual harassment, claiming there were multiple uncomfortable encounters that occurred while she was portraying his love interest in the movie.In the audio message, Lively said she "selfishly" wanted to push the start of filming "It Ends With Us.""Hey, I hope you're so well. Just wanted to connect, just to put something on your radar," Lively began her audio message, which was obtained by Fox News Digital. "So, between us, like this is so premature for me to even share this with you. All good, all good stuff. Headline is great, good, great stuff. But I was talking to Ryan, and I was like, I don't know if we should share this, but he was like you guys have such a great trust, you know, filament." BLAKE LIVELY BRANDED 'F---ING TERRORIST' BY SONY BOSS AMID 'IT ENDS WITH US' TURMOIL Entertainment attorney Tre Lovell explained that the audio message doesn't make or break the case for Baldoni, but admitted Lively's ramblings "certainly support his narrative.""Nothing about these recordings reflect a 'smoking gun' in the litigation, but they further bolster Baldoni's claims that this lawsuit has nothing to do with sexual harassment or retaliation on his part, but is about efforts by Lively to take over the production and control creative elements," Lovell said. LISTEN: BLAKE LIVELY'S AUDIO MESSAGE TO JUSTIN BALDONI RELEASED In the audio message, Lively opened up about being extremely stressed by her back-to-back projects and revealed she didn't have a close working relationship with the director of her other film."I don't talk to him like I talk to you. So I haven't told him, like, how stressed I've been with not having a baby nurse. Still don't have one, by the way. I found someone, and she was only available for like five days," Lively told Baldoni. "But anyway, still not a baby nurse, just the idea of going back to work right away. And also the idea of like... You know, prepping for our movie and like wanting to work out every day and all that. But yet being on set all day every day, I'm like, 'What have I done?'"Lively was juggling being a new mom at the time, having welcomed her fourth child with Ryan Reynolds in February 2023."Shooting in April, shooting in March is just too soon after having a baby and not sleeping and wanting to be in my best shape and all that," she confided to Baldoni. TAYLOR SWIFT CALLS JUSTIN BALDONI A 'B----' IN EXPLOSIVE TEXTS WITH BLAKE LIVELY REVEALED IN LAWSUIT Lively went on to float the idea of adjusting the production timeline, saying, "So, I just wanted to let you know that, like, in case you wanted to go a couple weeks earlier, you're welcome to, and obviously there are selfish reasons I'm telling you this. I know that our schedules are scheduled. I'm not trying to move anything, but, like, if by chance you're like, 'Oh my God, if I could go two weeks earlier that would actually be great,' then amazing."She added that, "selfishly," she would love it if things moved because "Ryan and I have also been really stressed about spending a month apart... none of it's your problem. That's why I'm talking to you as a friend at this point more than anything."Lively's audio message was likely used by Baldoni's team to "create certain optics and to pressure Lively's team," entertainment attorney Jordan Matthews explained to Fox News Digital."Of course, the messages make it look like Lively may have been difficult to work with, since she was essentially demanding a change in the production schedule and this plays into Baldoni's argument that she used these claims as leverage to get her way," Matthews said. "Regardless, there is almost certainly more context and this case will very likely make it past the summary judgment stage and proceed to trial, so a jury can make the ultimate determination." LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS The newly-released audio could have an impact on a jury for myriad reasons, but primarily because they contrast with Lively's allegations.The "Age of Adaline" star accused Baldoni of sexual harassment  while filming "It Ends With Us." Lively claimed there were multiple uncomfortable encounters involving Baldoni and the film's director, Jamey Heath."The allegations come off as if Justin Baldoni is this awful person who is harassing her, demeaning her, yelling at her, and then you have these voicemails from her that show her being nice and thankful to him," Bryan Sullivan, partner at Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae LLP, told Fox News Digital."From a jury perspective ... this is how a judge would look at it - Does this raise an issue of credibility of what she's saying? And it could, because could a jury hearing this think that she is lying, exaggerating, misstating? Only remembering the bad stuff?"He added, "The judge will not make credibility determinations if they see that there's a credibility issue. They will deny the motion and let the jury decide."Oleg Nekritin, a defense attorney at the Law Offices of Robert J. DeGroot, agreed that the messages aren't the end-all for the case."Generally, in a he said/she said case, courts rarely grant summary judgments," DeGroot told Fox News Digital. "Instead, they permit the jury to make findings of fact about the allegations and defenses of the parties."  Baldoni, in his own lawsuit filed in January 2025, insisted that Lively had "falsely" accused him in an attempt to repair her reputation following the fallout of the movie's press tour after the actress allegedly took control of the film.His lawsuit has since been dismissed. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER A trove of documents - including depositions, text messages and more - were released on Jan. 21 in support of Baldoni's motion for summary judgment in Lively's case against him. Lively discussed a meeting held with Baldoni, Heath and the film's producer, Alex Saks, during the actress' July 31 deposition. She claimed she brought up the alleged incidents that had occurred on the film set during this meeting. Baldoni's lawyer repeatedly questioned why Lively didn't classify the encounters as "sexual harassment" during the meeting, instead choosing to refer to them as "HR claims.""I remember discussing the video that Jamey showed me. I remember discussing the - Jamey entering my trailer. And I remember - I don't know if I told him this or if this is another thing that Ange shared, but how bad it felt for him to tell me personally that I felt sex - that I looked sexy and that I looked hot, and that I was also disturbed by the way that I understood Jenny to be feeling and experiences I'd seen with her," Lively said, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.Despite using the term "HR claims" at the meeting, Lively claimed the actions she was describing were "pretty obviously sexual harassment." Rebecca Loos says Brooklyn Beckham family feud statement was 'validation' for her David Beckham affair claims Rebecca Loos, David Beckham's former assistant, is finding comfort in Brooklyn Beckham's explosive statement about the intimate details of their family feud .On Thursday, The Independent released a teaser clip of Loos sitting down for Channel 5's upcoming documentary, "The Beckham Feud: Truth and Lies," where she weighed in on the scandal.Loos, who claimed she had an affair with David over 20 years ago, admitted that Brooklyn's statement was "validation for what I said 22 years ago.""In a very small way, this is, of course, validation for what I came forward and said 22 years ago.

Recently, I have seen with my own eyes the lengths that they'll go through to place countless lies in the media, mostly at the expense of innocent people, to preserve their own facade," Brooklyn wrote.Brooklyn continued making harsh claims about his family and said they "value public promotion and endorsements above all else." DAVID BECKHAM RESPONDS AFTER BROOKLYN'S EXPLOSIVE INSTAGRAM POST TARGETS PARENTS "Brand Beckham comes first," he alleged."Family 'love' is decided by how much you post on social media, or how quickly you drop everything to show up and pose for a family photo opp, even if it's at the expense of our professional obligations," he added. "We've gone out of our way for years to show up and support at every fashion show, every party and every press activity to show 'our perfect family.'"Loos has been linked to the Beckham family since she originally came forward about an alleged, four-month relationship with the footballer in 2004. She had worked as his assistant the previous year.At the time, David denied all the allegations and released a statement saying he was "very happily married " and that "there is nothing any third party can do to change these facts."
