Lori Beth Denberg is the latest former Nickelodeon star to accuse Dan Schneider of sexual misconduct.

Schneider — who produced a slew of hits for the kids’ network between 1994 and 2019 — was the subject of the recent docuseries Quiet on Set.

The film featured testimony from several former child stars who accused Schneider of all manner of harassment and abuse.

Now, Denberg is accusing Schneider of preying on her and abusing his power as her employer.

Lori Beth Denberg Says Dan Schneider Showed Her Sexually Explicit Videos When She Was Still In Her Teens

Denberg was only 17 when she landed a role on the Schneider-produced sketch show All That.

She says that she developed a friendship with Schneider, who was a decade her senior.

But the relationship turned sexual when she was 19, and Schneider began subjecting her to explicit material and making unwanted advances.

In an interview with Business Insider, Denberg revealed that Schneider formed the habit of showing her pornography in the workplace.

“I feel like that is the first time he preyed on me,” Denberg told the outlet.

She noted that she was not Schneider’s only victim — far from it, in fact.

Denberg says that Schneider seemed to enjoy testing his limits and playing a game of “how far can I push this person?”

Denberg Says Schneider’s Abuse Rapidly Escalated

Denberg says the situation escalated when she was at Schneider’s home watching Jeopardy! one night.

After offering her a massage as a reward for getting the most answers right, he groped her and put his mouth on her breasts.

She says that she was afraid to speak out against Schneider’s behavior, as she felt he might retaliate by cutting her out of the show or humiliating her on set.

“I couldn’t have been more green,” Denberg said. “I couldn’t have been more vulnerable.”

Dan Schneider Responds to Lori Beth Denberg’s Allegations

Schneider has already fired back and insisted that Denberg’s accusations are “wildly exaggerated and, in most cases, false.”

“As I have previously stated, there were times, particularly in the early years of my career, that I made mistakes and exhibited poor judgment as a leader,” Schneider said in a statement to Business Insider.

“If I did that with respect to Lori Beth, I sincerely apologize to her. But I cannot apologize for things I did not do.”

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Rory McIlroy has filed for divorce from his wife of seven years, Erica Stoll.

According to a new report from TMZ, Rory filed papers in his adopted home state of Florida earlier this week.

The cause of the split is currently unknown.

But given the extent to which the news has taken the sports world by storm, you can be sure that there will be further updates very soon.

Rory McIlroy-Erica Stoll Divorce: What Happened?

Again, it might be a while before we have any specifics about what prompted the split.

But currently, it looks as though Rory was the one who initiated the divorce.

The news has left golf fans stunned, as Rory and Erica appeared to be one of the sports world’s most stable couples.

Rory and Erica’s Relationship History

The McIlroys met under very memorable circumstances.

It was 2012, and Erica was employed by the PGA, helping to organize the Ryder Cup.

When Rory’s alarm clock didn’t go off and he nearly missed his tee time, it was Erica who organized the police escort that got him to the course on time.

The pair hit it off immediately, but for years, their relationship was strictly platonic.

It was only after Rory ended his engagement to Caroline Wozniacki that he and Erica took things to the next level.

The couple married in 2017, and they welcomed their first and only child in 2020.

Interestingly, Rory and Erica kept their relationship private until fairly recently.

After years in which they would rarely appear in public together, Erica cheered Rory on at the 2023 Ryder Cup.

She also caddied for him at the Masters Par 3 event that same year.

So whatever happened between Rory and Erica, it seems to have happened rapidly.

We’re sure there will be endless speculation about infidelity or some sort of other scandal.

But all we know for now is that Rory McIlroy filed for divorce today. And the golf world is absolutely stunned.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

It’s only Tuesday, but Bradley Cooper might have already won the week.

On Sunday, Bradley was in Paris for the latest stop on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.

He was joined by girlfriend Gigi Hadid, and according to TMZ, the couple danced and packed on the PDA in a luxury box alongside Travis Kelce!

A pretty epic Sunday night, to be sure. (Anyway, it beats sitting around with the scaries and wondering how The Simpsons fell off so hard.)

But believe it or not, the Maestro maestro might have topped himself the following day.

As Page Six reports, Bradley took his daughter to the premiere of the upcoming kids’ movie IF.

Bradley Cooper’s Seldom-Seen Daughter Joins Him at ‘IF’ Premiere

Obviously, Bradley does an excellent job of protecting seven-year-old Lea from the prying eyes of the media.

So he brought her to the premiere of his latest film, but father and daughter did not pose for photos together.

However, a Page Six source did witness a tender moment involving Bradley, Lea, and IF‘s director, John Krasinski.

Bradley’s Daughter Gets Starstruck By John Krasinksi

When your dad is Bradley Cooper, you probably don’t get starstruck very easily.

But it seems that Lea was blown away by her encounter with Jim Halpert himself.

“I’m John. Do you remember? We met a while ago,” Krasinski said to Lea.

“He made the movie!” Bradley excitedly explained to his daughter, a revelation that prompted a look of amazement.

Lea was later spotted excitedly pointing at a poster of Ice, the imaginary friend whom Bradley voices in the film.

Lea previously joined Bradley at the premiere of Maestro, the Oscar-nominated 2023 film that he directed and starred in.

She’s not often by his side at public events — with good reason — but Bradley talks about his beloved daughter every chance he gets.

“Every single thing is absolutely shaded by, or brought into glorious colors, by the fact that I get to be a father to a wonderful human being,” he said on the “SmartLess” podcast in June 2022.

“You have this wonderful thing or breakthrough with a script, or you have a wonderful moment on this set or in an editing room. You have like 40 of those moments every day with your kid, that are that level of joy,” he added.

“That’s not spinning it, that’s just the truth.”

Yes, Bradley Cooper has accomplished some incredible things in his career. But it sounds like his daughter will always be his proudest achievement.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s charity has been found “delinquent” by the state of California.

According to a report from People magazine, the Archewell Foundation has been ordered to halt soliciting, spending, or disbursing funds.

The action seems to be related to a missed deadline for registration fees.

People reports that Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a delinquency notice on behalf of the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Charity Is Delinquent: What Happens Next?

According to legal documents obtained by the outlet, the Archewell Foundation is “listed as delinquent with the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers for failing to submit required annual report(s) and/or renewal fees.”

“An organization that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing, reads a notice issued by the state.

“And is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds.”

“The organization may also be subject to penalties. And its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry,” the letter continues.

“Once you submit the delinquent record(s), you will be notified of the amount of any late fees that are owed.”

A source close to the situation tells People that the organization filed on time. However, it seems a check that was mailed to the state was never received.

Meghan and Harry were in Nigeria this week and, thus, unable to attend to the matter personally.

Harry and Meghan Are Making Things Right

The insider says that Archewell administrators were not aware that the payment had gone missing. Consequently, they only became aware of the issue when they received a delinquency notice.

According to the source, a new check has been mailed, and Archewell will soon be up and running once again.

Understandably, Harry and Meghan have not spoken publicly on the matter.

And it seems the couple is content to let their administrators handle this situation.

Undoubtedly, this is just a minor bump in the road for an organization that’s done a great deal of good work.

“Our mission is simple: show up, do good,” reads a mission statement on the Archewell website.

“We meet the moment by showing up, taking action and using our unparalleled spotlight to uplift and unite communities.”

Obviously, Harry and Meghan’s hearts are in the right place.

But you can be just as certain that the British tabloid press will have a field day with this setback.

50 Cent has responded to a challenge from Diddy’s embattled son King Combs.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Diddy is under investigation for multiple sexual assault allegations.

50, a longtime rival of Diddy’s, has made no secret of the fact that he believes this particular downfall is long overdue.

Diddy hasn’t responded to 50’s taunts. And that’s likely because his lawyers have advised him not to remain silent for the time being.

But King has decided to speak up on his dad’s behalf.

And, like Drake picking a fight with Kendrick Lamar, he might wind up regretting it.

King Combs Releases Diss Track Aimed at 50 Cent

As first reported by TMZ, King has recorded a diss track about 50. And the track contains some very scathing remarks about the hip hop legend.

The track, titled “Pick a Side,” was streamed by DJ Akademiks ahead of its release. And if King was hoping for some controversy, it seems that he got what he wanted.

“When all they had was 50 Cent who put this city on the map? Stop lyin’,” King raps at one point in the song.

“Pops been hated on by many men and that’s fine/ They gon’ try to stop these M’s and they gon’ die tryin’,” he continued, referencing 50’s song “Many Men” and his iconic album, Get Rich or Die Trying.

50 Cent Responds to King Combs Diss Track

Never one to shy away from a fight, 50 promptly took to social media to share his thoughts on his latest challenger.

“I feel so threatened by the things Christian is saying on his record,” 50 sarcastically tweeted, using King’s real name.

“I’m afraid for my life, please don’t hurt me guys. I never mentioned or posted anything about puffy’s kids because KEEFE D said he killed 2Pac.”

That last part is a reference to Duane “Keefe D” Davis. Davis was arrested in September for his alleged involvement in the murder of Tupac Shakur.

50 Cent Gets Personal In Scathing Tweets

From there, 50 crudely referenced the sexual assault allegations against 50:

“I really don’t understand why they want to drug women, if she can’t remember how good it was the next morning how do you connect?”

At one point, King referenced the recent federal raids of Diddy’s property, rapping:

“Knock these doors down like them feddy boys running both our cribs / Too bad they ain’t know we bought the one next door cause that’s the one they missed.”

“Now why would you say some shit like this when you know the FEDS are investigating. IS YOU STUPID OR IS YOU DUMB? LOL,” 50 tweeted, seemingly in response to those lines.

It’s unclear if 50 intends to reply with a diss track of his own.

But one thing is certain — the feud between 50 Cent and King Combs is definitely on!

The popular HGTV renovation show Fixer to Fabulous appears to have been impacted by a divorce.

If you’re a fan of the show, you may have noticed that Chase Looney is no longer a member of the cast.

His abrupt, unexplained departure has sparked questions and rumors among viewers.

Chase Looney Was a Member of The ‘Fixer to Fabulous’ Family From the Start

Though Dave and Jenny Marr are the names most commonly associated with Fixer to Fabulous, Chase was along for the ride from the very beginning.

“He wasn’t really given an option NOT to be with us on the show, but he graciously came along for the ride and we couldn’t imagine not having him with us,” Jenny once wrote on Facebook, according to Closer (via Yahoo!).

Sadly, shortly after filming the pilot episode, Chase was badly injured in a freak accident.

Chase Looney’s Eye Injury: What Happened?

In July of 2022, Chase was setting up a fireworks display when one of the projectiles went off and struck him in the eye.

“The following days in the hospital, I was given the news that I lost my eye,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.

“That it would have to be removed. That I might not have movement in the left side of my face and that the scarring would be permanent,”

“I told them, ‘I don’t think I have the face for TV anymore.’ Through tears and laughter, they reassured me I never had a face for TV anyway,” he wrote.

Chase continued to appear on the show, now with an eye patch. But it looks as though his TV tenure has now come to an end.

Fixer to Fabulous Divorce: What Happened?

Though he’s never explicitly confirmed as much, it looks as though Chase and his wife, Chelsie, have called it quits.

In January of 2023, Chelsie alluded to the split in a Facebook post.

“Life is different with just the three of us,” Chase captioned a photo of his two children shortly thereafter.

One month later, he confirmed his departure from Fixer to Fabulous.

“Flashback to a simple, farm-style table I did for a little show I used to be a part of,” Chase captioned a photo of a picnic table.

A post shared by Chase Looney (@chisel_and_sawdust)

“Miss you brother!” Dave Marrs commented on the post. “So happy the fire department is going well. Great stuff and hope you come back to the team soon!”

So it seems that Chase has returned to his previous career as a firefighter.

“Any chance you’ll be in fixer to fabulous season 5? Miss seeing you bud, you should have your own show,” a fan commented ahead of the show’s most recent season premiere.

“Sorry, no chance. But thank you so much for the kind words,” Looney replied.

Due to the timing, it’s safe to assume that Chase’s departure from the show was related to his divorce.

But it might be a long time before we have any additional information.

Jason Duggar recently posted a shirtless gym selfie.

Normally, a 24-year-old sharing a pic in order to show off his fitness progress wouldn’t be a big deal.

But Jason is a Duggar, which means he’s been raised with very strict rules regarding modesty and attire.

So when Jason posted a shirtless selfie to his Instagram Story (via The Sun) earlier this week, you can be certain that his parents were not especially pleased.

Fortunately, it seems that Jason is not overly concerned with what his parents think.

Is Jason Duggar the New Black Sheep of the Family?

Over the years, several members of the Duggar family have pushed back against Jim Bob’s authoritarian rule.

Jinger was once known as “the rebel Duggar,” and she earned that title by marrying a man her parents didn’t approve of and then moving to LA.

And then there’s Jill Duggar, who recently published a memoir in which she spoke candidly about her family’s many scandals.

And we can’t forget Amy, who has been criticizing Jim Bob for years, most notably during her appearance in the Amazon Prime documentary Shiny Happy People.

But in recent years, Jason Duggar has emerged as an unexpected rebel.

Notably, he’s one of the first male Duggars to publicly go against his parents’ teachings.

Of course, his acts of defiance are relatively minor when compared to what his sisters and cousin have accomplished.

This is not the first time that Jason has posted a shirtless gym selfie, and he seems unconcerned by the fact that his parents oppose such behavior.

The Duggar Dress Code Is Strictly Enforced

The Duggar dress code has become infamous in recent years.

And while it mostly applies to the female members of the family, men and boys are not exempt.

So Jason knew that he would face disapproval from his parents by posting such a pic. But it seems that he didn’t really care.

Was he inspired by the rebellious example set by the female rebels in his family?

It’s tough to say. There have been rumors that Jason and Jill don’t get along, and he seems to be more politically conservative than some of his more progressive sisters.

But we’re guessing Jason’s parents wish that he would lean even harder to the right. And that he would keep his shirt on while he’s at it.

A judge ruled this week that music legend Brian Wilson should be placed under a conservatorship due to a “major neurocognitive disorder.”

The legendary singer-songwriter will now enter a guardianship controlled by his manager LeeAnn Hard and publicist Jean Sievers.

According to a report from USA Today, Wilson did not object to the ruling.

Brian Wilson’s Conservatorship: Everything We Know

Best known for his work with the Beach Boys, Wilson, 81, has been battling dementia for several years.

In January, his wife, Melinda Wilson, passed away suddenly at the age of 77.

The situation left Brian in need of a caretaker. And thankfully, it sounds like he will now receive the help that he needs.

“The court finds from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary and appropriate in that (Wilson) is unable to care for (his) person,” Judge Gus T. May wrote in Thursday’s ruling.

“The conservatorship is the least restrictive alternative needed for the protection of conservatee.”

May added that Hard and Sievers have been granted the authority to “authorize the administration of medications appropriate for the care and treatment”

Brian Wilson Pays Tribute to Late Wife

Wilson has not made any sort of public statement since he paid tribute to his wife shortly after she passed.

“Our five children and I are just in tears. We are lost,” Wilson wrote on his website at the time.

“Melinda was more than my wife. She was my savior. She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career,” he continued.

“[Melinda] encouraged me to make the music that was closest to my heart. She was my anchor. She was everything for us. Please say a prayer for her.”

Wilson’s struggles with mental health and his relationship with Melinda were portrayed in the 2014 biopic Love & Mercy.

Celebrity Conservatorships Have Earned a Bad Reputation

The legal battle over Britney Spears’ conservatorship raised the public’s awareness about such arrangements.

Obviously, in that case, the guardianship was not in Britney’s best interest. And the people who seized control of her life abused their power.

However, in the case of Brian Wilson, it seems all involved parties agree that a conservatorship is the best option.

Here’s hoping this living legend will receive all the help he needs.

Drake’s Toronto mansion was taped off by police last night following a shooting near the property.

According to a report from Page Six, the victim has now been identified as a security guard employed by Drake. The 48-year-old is believed to be in stable condition.

According to a tweet from Toronto police, shots were fired around 2:10 a.m. ET near the corner of Bayview and Lawrence Avenues.

The suspect is believed to have fled in a car immediately after the shots were fired.

Shooting Near Drake’s Home: Everything We Know So Far

The officers who responded to the call discovered a seriously wounded man who was taken to a nearby hospital.

Thankfully, no one else was harmed. Drake was not injured, and it’s unclear if he was at home at the time of the shooting.

The security guard’s injuries have been described by The New York Post as non-life-threatening.

Initially, it was hoped that the conflict that led to the shooting had nothing to do with Drake.

The cause of the dispute remains unclear, but it looks increasingly as though the rapper was being targeted.

Social media speculators are already jumping to the conclusion that the incident was related to the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

The war of words between Drake and Kendrick is the most high-profile hip hop beef in recent memory.

Many have compared the situation to the deadly war between Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. that played out in the mid-nineties.

Earlier this week, Kendrick released a scathing diss track titled “Not Like Us.” The song featured an aerial photo of Drake’s home on its cover.

Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar Feud: Already Over, or Just Getting Started?

The bad blood between the rappers has been simmering at least since last year. It boiled over in a big way in recent weeks, with both artists releasing multiple diss tracks directed at one another.

“Not Like Us,” the latest from Kendrick, begins with the line “I see dead people” and contains ominous references to the ways in which Drake’s recent remarks have sparked outrage.

It’s important to note that these are just lines in a song, and at present, there’s no reason to believe that last night’s shooting had anything to do with the feud between Kendrick and Drake.

According to the Post, Drake’s house is at the center of the investigation. But that does not mean that the rapper was being targeted.

That said, Drake and his loved ones are likely taking extra precautions today.

We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Katy Perry was not in attendance at the 2024 Met Gala. But thanks to the power of AI, we know what it would look like if she had attended!

Katy’s past Met Gala looks have made her one of the event’s most iconic figures.

Unfortunately, work obligations prevented her from attending this year’s star-studded fundraiser.

So why is it that photos of Katy working the red carpet in a theme-appropriate gown went viral on social media last night?

Katy Perry’s Met Gala AI Photos Fool the Internet

Well, if you have any doubts about how sophisticated AI has become, these fake photos of Katy at the Met should be enough to convince you of the tech’s capabilities.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by KATY PERRY (@katyperry)

In fact, the pics were so convincing that they even fooled Katy’s mom!

Katy posted the above carousel on Instagram last night with a caption explaining her 2024 Met Gala situation.

“Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work,” she wrote.

Kary included a screenshot of a text from her mother, who applauded her bold look at the Met.

“Didn’t know you went to the Met,” Katy’s mom wrote,” adding:

“What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your own float lol.”

It might have been funny if Katy had gone along with the ruse, but to her credit, she quickly corrected her mom.

“lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!” she replied.

In fairness to Katy’s mom, the pics were incredibly convincing. And it was pretty surprising that Katy skipped the Met, which always seemed like one of her favorite events.

What’s Next For Katy Perry?

Katy didn’t offer any specifics with regard to what sort of work was keeping her away from the gala.

But her Instagram carousel concluded with a short video of her in a recording studio, so she might be on the verge of releasing some new music.

Whatever the case this, Katy is at a critical juncture in her career.

She’s leaving American Idol after seven seasons, and she hasn’t released a studio album in nearly four years.

Clearly, she’s planning some big moves at the moment. So we guess it’s not surprising that Katy Perry could only attend this year’s Met Gala in AI form.

We understand, of course. But her mom’s not the only one who wishes those photos were real!

For years, Piers Morgan has been an outspoken critic of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

Now, in an unprecedented display of pettiness, Morgan has advocated for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to be stripped of their titles.

In an interview with Megyn Kelly, Morgan urged King Charles to punish his youngest son for disloyalty to the royal family.

Piers Morgan to King Charles: It’s Time to Take a Stand Against Harry and Meghan!

“They shouldn’t be using the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bestowed on them by the monarchy,” Morgan said.

“I hope that King Charles – who is massively distracted by his illness – will at some stage have that conversation and say, ‘You can’t keep the titles. I’m sorry,'” the TV personality continued (via Yahoo!).

Interestingly, Morgan acknowledged one major reason why the King will not be following such ridiculous advice.

As you’re probably aware, Charles has been diagnosed with cancer.

Buckingham Palace announced last week that Charles will return to “public-facing” royal duties sometime in the near future.

But royal officials have yet to offer any concrete information regarding the severity of Charles’ cancer or the organs affected.

For obvious reasons, many have taken that silence as cause for concern.

A Time of Crisis For the Royal Family

The revelation that Kate Middleton is also battling cancer came soon after Charles’ diagnosis was made public.

All of this is taking place less than two years after Queen Elizabeth II passed away, making Charles king.

These are stressful days for the royals. In fact, this might be the greatest time of crisis for the Windsors since the death of Princess Diana.

And it’s likely that there are more rough waters ahead.

All of this is to say that it’s a strange time for Piers Morgan to be sowing seeds of discord.

Morgan has advocated for Harry and Meghan to lose their titles several times in the past.

But it’s rare for Piers to issue a direct appeal to the king on any matter.

Meghan will be using her title while promoting her new lifestyle brand, a fact that has apparently outraged Morgan.

Although the more likely explanation for Piers’ current fit is that he’s still mad at Meghan for rejecting his advances a decade ago!

Has Meghan Markle become a “total joke” in Hollywood?

That’s the claim being made by a shocking new report from In Touch.

Sources tell the outlet that Meghan’s stock has plummeted among her celebrity friends, due to her persistent efforts to build her personal brand.

Has Meghan Markle Taken on Too Much?

“Meghan gets greedy,” an insider described as “a high-level palace courtier” tells In Touch.

“She wants everything all at once, and it’s backfiring on her again. She’s become a total joke and is overplaying her hand.”

The source notes that the duchess is currently attempting to roll out multiple projects at once.

Meghan recently launched her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which has already received endorsements from some of her A-list friends.

That project comes on the heels of Meghan and Prince Harry’s new Netflix deal.

And that was announced around the same time as Meghan’s podcasting deal with an outlet called Lemonada.

“That clearly didn’t go down well with Lemonada,” notes the palace insider.

“They surely expected to be Meghan’s priority project, but she must have decided she had bigger fish to fry with Netflix.”

The premiere of her Lemonada show has now been pushed back to 2025. And there’s a growing feeling that Meghan has overextended herself.

“Meghan’s new ventures are destined to fail. She has no experience in building a brand. And someone must tell her she needs to be more likable to be marketable,” says the palace source.

“If the public doesn’t like you, they won’t get behind you, and no amount of money you throw at the problem will make it go away,” the insider adds.

Meghan Markle Has Become a ‘Joke,’ Insider Claims

From there, the source accuses Meghan of being a “control freak” who harbors a desperate desire to be universally beloved.

“Meghan is a control freak who’s finding out you can’t order someone to like you. She should have learned that lesson during her disastrous time at the palace. But she’s too blinded by her own ambition to see it,” says the insider.

“No wonder people are laughing, on both sides of the Atlantic! We hear Harry’s laid down the law,” the source continues.

“He’s mortified by the blowback over their sketchy projects and is insisting he won’t tolerate another show business disaster. If the new projects go belly-up again, they are going to have to find new ways to pay their bills, including crawling back to the royal family.”

Is Meghan Making Enemies In LA?

A Hollywood insider echoes these comments and alleges that Meghan wants to reap the rewards of a stellar Hollywood career without putting in the work.

“Hollywood is glam and glitz on the outside, but the real stars have worked hard for their success — and you get the impression hard work isn’t really Meghan’s thing,” the source tells In Touch.

“She was a nobody when she married Harry in 2018 but immediately thought she deserved a place at the A-listers’ table,” the insider adds.

“Now, after all her failures, those A-listers — and the royals — are laughing at her!”

Needless to say, Meghan Markle has been paying her dues for decades. And there many in LA, London, and all points between who view the duchess as anything but a “joke.”

Still, there may be some legitimacy to the fears that Meghan has overextended herself.

It’ll be interesting to see if she’s able to meet all of her professional obligations in the year to come.

After enduring one of the most controversial years in the history of reality television, Rachel Leviss has moved on with a new boyfriend!

As you’re probably aware, Rachel’s affair with Tom Sandoval was the most talked-about scandal of 2023.

And it may have single-handedly revived interest in the long-running Bravo series Vanderpump Rules.

But a whole lot has changed since then.

For starters, Rachel is going by a new name! She was known as Raquel Leviss during her time on Bravo, but she’s now returned to her birth name.

On top of that, Rachel has quit the show that made her famous, opting for improved mental health over continued reality fame.

And then there’s the fact that Vanderpump Rules might be facing cancelation following yet another lackluster season.

But the most exciting development in the life of Raquel Leviss is her new relationship!

Raquel Leviss’ New Boyfriend Is a Single Dad and Entrepreneur

According to Taste of Reality, Rachel is dating a single dad and productivity guru named Matthew Dunn.

Matthew recently shared the news of their relationship by posting an Instagram Story in which the new couple took part in a group nature expedition.

“We rode over the mountains and through the woods but grandma’s house could not be found. However, we did rally the side by sides and swam at a waterfall!” he captioned the post.

Rachel left a comment reading, “What an incredible experience,” which prompted Matthew to agree that the trip was “so much fun.”

ET Online has confirmed the relationship, with a source telling the outlet:

“Rachel is seeing investment CEO Matthew Dunn. The two met through friends and have been enjoying their time together.”

Who Is Matthew Dunn?

Little is known about Matthew, but according to Reality Blurb, an Instagram post from May of 2022 describes him as a “[seven]-figure business owner.”

“He’s managed this for [eight] consecutive years and is on the way to building an [eight]-figure company. He is passionate about helping others find personal power through awareness, total ownership, and truth,” the page explained.

Rachel’s publicist tells ET that Leviss has been spending a lot of time with Matthew.

The rep maintains, however, that the relationship is in the very early stages.

Still, it sounds like Rachel found herself a potential keeper!

In any event, the guy is definitely an improvement over Tom freakin’ Sandoval!

Is Prince William a bit jealous of Prince Harry’s freedom?

That’s the claim being made in a surprising new report from Us Weekly.

According to the outlet, the ongoing feud between William and Harry is still simmering.

There were hopes that the brothers might set aside their differences amid the current slate of crises.

As you’ve likely heard by now, William’s wife, Kate Middleton, is battling cancer.

And confirmation of Kate’s condition came on the heels of the reports that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer.

Both ailing royals have chosen not to reveal any specifics with regard to the type or severity of their cancer.

Harry will travel to the UK this month for the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, a multi-sport athletic competition for wounded veterans.

And there was talk that Harry might take the opportunity to reconcile with his estranged brother.

But it seems that the reason for the trip is a sensitive subject for William.

Prince William: Jealous of Prince Harry’s Success?

Harry helped found the Invictus Games back in 2014.

The event is now considered the single most successful royal humanitarian project of the 21st century.

So perhaps it’s not surprising that one insider thinks William is a bit jealous.

“William is a bit envious of [his brother’s] freedoms,” the source told Us.

Journalist and royal expert Ed Owens echoed those remarks in a recent interview. He suggested that William might like to have such an impressive accomplishment on his resumé.

“Harry has done remarkable things,” Owens told Us. He added that Invictus “now has international presences. And I think that international stage is something both brothers are clearly vying for.

“That international limelight really sets Harry’s work apart from other members of the royal family,” says Owens.

William and Harry: Battling For the International Spotlight?

Journalist Robert Jobson agrees, telling ABC News that William seems to be a bit jealous of his brother’s success.

“I think there was a degree of jealousy about how well it had gone,” Jobson said in February.

“I do think that William was surprised how much this had been such a success. And how much money was being thrown into it and how many governments were getting involved.”

Obviously, it’s unlikely that William will ever publicly admit to being envious of his younger brother’s success.

But whatever the cause, those who were hoping for a brotherly reunion next week will likely be disappointed.

Jill Duggar posted some baby bump photos on her Instagram page this week.

But unlike previous instances in which Jill shared pregnancy selfies, this was not a joyous occasion.

Jill announced the stillbirth of her daughter in April.

She previously shared photos from the baby’s funeral. But it was only this week that she chose to share images from the pregnancy that ended in tragedy.

Jill Duggar’s Baby Bump Photos Prompt Outpouring of Support

“The baby bump photos we were so excited to share, but didn’t get to before she was gone,” she captioned the post.

A post shared by Jill (Duggar) Dillard (@jillmdillard)

Hundreds of commenters shared words of kindness and support for Jill and her family.

The top comment came from Jill’s cousin, Amy Duggar, who wrote the following:

“Isla had a purpose and will continue to leave her mark here there’s no doubt about it! I wonder how many people you will minister to with your testimony?

“Now Isla is growing up with sweet River. I can’t imagine the heartbreak love, I truly cannot. But may I offer another way of coping from this intense loss?

“Can you imagine growing up In Heaven? Think of the beauty, the unity and the presence of the Lord! Your two children were special enough to never know the darkness of this world.

“They are living in perfect peace and you will see them again. What a reunion that day will be!! Also Grandma is there.. I have this mental picture of her holding them. Hugs as you all continue to heal! Love you!!” Amy concluded.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the stillbirth of our beautiful baby girl, Isla Marie Dillard,” Jill and husband Derick Dillard wrote in their announcement on April 14.

“Jill was 4 months pregnant (due in August) when we found out that our baby died in utero,” the couple continued.

“From the moment we found out we were pregnant, we couldn’t wait to meet our baby. Isla was much loved from the start, and her 3 big brothers were so excited to introduce her to their world.”

The Duggars Come Together Amid Tragedy

Jill reunited with her estranged parents in the wake of this family tragedy.

And it seems that she’s receiving a great deal of support from her cousin and her many siblings.

But the grief that Jill and husband Derick Dillard are experiencing is clearly profound.

The kindness the couple has received from friends, family, and fans is surely helpful. But nothing can cure the pain the Dillards are enduring at the moment.

With any luck, Jill and Derick will eventually be able to move forward. And if they decide to continue expanding their family, we hope that they’ll be able to do so with joy and optimism in their hearts.

In the meantime, our thoughts go out to the Dillards during this enormously difficult time.

There are big things on the horizon for Kevin Costner.

Specifically, there’s his two-part cinematic event, Horizon: An American Saga, which is set to debut in theaters this summer.

This is the biggest — and riskiest — project of Costner’s career. And it’ll premiere to critics and industry insiders at Cannes in less than three weeks.

These days, Costner would probably prefer to focus his energy on promoting his frontier saga.

But many media outlets are more interested in his messy split from Christine Baumgartner.

Costner and Baumgartner finalized their divorce last year following a legal battle that frequently made tabloid headlines.

There were reports that Baumgartner had requested $248,000 a month in child support.

And that led to speculation that this might turn into the most expensive divorce in Hollywood history.

There were even rumors that Costner’s decision to quit Yellowstone was prompted by his unwillingness to fork his earnings.

(It now appears that Costner left the show so that he could focus on directing and starring in Horizon.)

For a while, it looked like the dust was beginning to settle. But then we learned that Baumgartner was dating Costner’s former friend Josh Connor.

Kevin Costner: Furious About Ex’s New Relationship?

One insider says that Costner is furious about the manner in which Connor and Baumgartner have been flaunting their relationship.

“Kevin is very bitter and far from happy to see Christine and Josh so obviously happy and planning their lives together,” the insider tells The National Enquirer (via Radar Online).

“It pains him more than anything to know they’re living high on the hog on his dime — and every time one of those big monthly support checks goes out, it makes him sick to his stomach,” the source adds.

“Christine and Josh are rubbing salt in the wound by bragging about their beautiful love story. Kevin’s heard they might even get engaged — and to say it infuriates him is an understatement.”

Costner’s New Relationship

Costner has also moved on and is currently dating singer Jewel.

The difference, the source claims, is that Costner and Jewel are keeping their romance private out of respect for others.

“He’d love to be parading around with Jewel on his arm, but she’s taking things slowly and spooked by the intense level of interest surrounding their relationship,” says the insider.

Well, Costner will be more visible than ever this summer as he promotes the Western epic that he partially financed by selling his home in Santa Barbara.

It was a risky move. But at least now he doesn’t have to worry about losing another asset in his divorce!

Ariana Madix and her lawyers had some choice words for Raquel Leviss this week.

Back in February, Raquel filed a lawsuit against Ariana and her ex-boyfriend Tom Sandoval.

As you’re probably aware, Tom cheated on Ariana with Raquel, and the affair is still creating controversy on Vanderpump Rules.

Ariana found out about the affair when she caught sight of some incriminating footage on Sandoval’s phone.

Raquel is now accusing the former couple of revenge porn, intentional infliction of emotional distress, eavesdropping, and invasion of privacy.

Ariana Madix Claps Back at Raquel Leviss

But in new court documents obtained by Page Six, Ariana’s lawyers allege that Raquel “seeks to punish” and “blame Ms. Madix for the negative reaction [Leviss] received as a result of her affair with” Sandoval.

The documents allege that Raquel’s lawsuit is “an abuse of the legal process” and “does not seek
to vindicate any cognizable rights” but instead attempts to limit Ariana’s right to free speech.

Ariana’s lawyers claim that she was “devastated and immediately confronted” Sandoval about his affair.

She then sent Leviss a text that read, “you’re dead to me,” along with the video.

The attorneys note, however, that that was the only time that Ariana shared the footage with anyone.

Ariana Tells Her Side of the Story

In a court filing, Ariana says she didn’t “share or show any of the video footage she found” because Sandoval deleted it off her phone during their subsequent argument.

“I did not send the videos to anyone else … I only saw the video of [Leviss] masturbating in places secluded from others — alone in the bathroom stall and in the alley with Mr. Sandoval,” Leviss writes.

“A heated argument ensued between me and Mr. Sandoval, and Mr. Sandoval forcibly grabbed my phone from my hands, causing my credit cards and driver’s license to fall to the pavement,” she continues.

“I quickly grabbed my cards off the pavement and chased after Mr. Sandoval, who had further distanced himself from the club.

“By the time I caught up to him, Mr. Sandoval had deleted from my phone the videos I had recorded of the Facetime video.”

Leviss claims that Sandoval recorded her without her knowledge, but Tom’s lawyers insist that she created the footage in question and sent it to his phone.

“Based on Leviss’ own allegations, Sandoval merely saved private copies of the videos that Leviss had filmed and shared with him,” the filing reads.

“Sandoval’s response in the face of irrefutable evidence that will be presented in court is disturbing,” Raquel’s lawyers responded.

“Leveraging such claims for media attention and perpetuating victim-blaming is not just deplorable but actionable.”

It’s still unclear if this case will go to court, but it seems obvious that the Scandoval is far from over!

Who is Nicola Coughlan dating?

It’s a question that’s on the minds of many Bridgerton fans as the beloved Netflix series prepares to return for its third season.

While Nicola appeared in the first two seasons, this time around, her character, Lady Penelope Featherington, will be the show’s central focus.

Specifically, the story will zero in on Penelope and her relationship with Colin Bridgerton.

So it’s not hard to see why fans of the show might be feeling curious about Nicola’s real-life relationship status.

Who Is Nicola Coughlan Dating?

There have been reports that Nicola is dating her costar, Luke Newton.

Those rumors gained steam after Nicola and Luke were spotted holding hands during a recent premiere event in Australia.

But despite the hopeful speculation from Bridgerton fans, it seems that Nicola and Luke are just close friends.

In a recent interview with Marie Claire Australia, Nicola opened up about the challenges of modern dating.

She said that while she’s drawn to the romance of the Regency era, she thinks life is easier for single people in the 21st century.

Nicola Coughlan on Modern Dating

“I think nowadays they smell better. That’s what I always think about the past…we think of it as so romantic and lovely, but then there was no personal hygiene,” she told the outlet.

“[It’s] good because we have a choice now, but then there’s that thing of the paradox of choice. We have too much choice, it’s not good. So, there’s probably good and bad things for both,” Nicola added.

She went on to joke about the grim realities of dating in the early 19th century.

“I think we probably only see the romantic versions [of the regency era]. But in reality, it was like, you’re probably getting traded for a goat, or something, or some land,” she said.

“So you’re probably better off now when at least we can make the call ourselves.”

As for the rumors of a romance with Luke, Nicola has stated that she and her costar are just friends.

“There was one day where we had to do a beautifully written romantic scene, and we were just peeing ourselves with laughter because you have to look into each other’s eyes,” Nicola recently told Entertainment Tonight, adding:

“We were like, ‘Oh god.'”

Thankfully, it seems that the occasional awkward moment didn’t prevent these two from portraying a believable romance on screen.

Nicola Coughlan Is Happily Single

It sounds like Nicola is in no hurry to settle down. And given how much she’s got on her plate these days, we don’t blame her.

In addition to her role on Bridgerton, Nicola recently starred in the acclaimed Irish sitcom Derry Girls, and she played Diplomat Barbie in last year’s Barbie movie.

Nicola is currently busy promoting Bridgerton Season 3, which is scheduled to drop on Netflix on May 16.

She also be appearing in this year’s Dr. Who Christmas special, making her part of a beloved annual tradition in the UK.

In other words, she’s probably too busy for dating at the moment — but when you’re doing what you love, that’s a good problem to have!

In addition to his roles as a beloved comedian and game show host, Steve Harvey is a father to seven kids.

Steve credits his successful career to his family and says that his children are his primary motivation for continuing to work hard.

“Family is my reason why,” he once told People magazine. “I work to leave a legacy and hopefully [make] the world a better place for them.”

Steve has been married three times, but according to his current wife, there’s nothing but harmony in his blended family.

“When you’re dealing with a blended family, everyone is coming from a place of broken,” Marjorie Harvey told People in 2016 while explaining Steve’s decision to adopt her kids from a previous relationship.

“We knew this was right. Now we’re Mom and Dad to everybody.”

Steve Harvey’s Kids: Who Are They?

Steve’s eldest kids, twin girls, Brandi and Karli, 40, and son Broderick Harvey Jr., 31, are from his first marriage.

(Yeah, that’s right. You probably didn’t know that Steve’s real first name is Broderick!)

Steve was working as an insurance salesman when he first became a dad. After winning money in a standup competition, he decided to quit his job in order to focus on comedy.

“Years later, they said to me, ‘Dad, we didn’t understand why you left us, but we know now you had to go,'” Steve once told People.

“‘You didn’t just belong to us. You belonged to the world.’ That was emotional for me.”

Steve’s fourth child, Wynton Brycelon Ali Harvey, 26, was a product of his marriage to his second wife, Mary Shackelford.

Steve and Mary divorced in 2005 after nine years of marriage.

The Harvey Family Grows Larger

In 2007, Steve married Marjorie Harvey and adopted her three children, Morgan Hawthorne, 38, Jason Harvey, 31, and Lori Harvey, 27.

Lori has launched a successful career as a model and influencer.

In addition to walking the runway for such esteemed fashion labels as Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry, she’s built a massive fan base on social media, with more than 5 million followers on Instagram alone.

But while Lori is the child who’s most clearly following in her father’s footsteps, we’re sure that Steve is equally proud of all of his kids.

Over the years, the Harveys have gained a reputation as a happy, close-knit clan.

And the road to this life began when Steve quit his job in order to try and build a better life for his family.

That’s one gamble that’s paid off big time!
