8 Celebrities Who Stayed Beloved Despite Controversy

“Cancel culture” might look like a new and shiny buzzword phrase, but beneath it lies an ancient art form that’s been around since humans learned to talk. Back then, it was extremely localized, but thanks to the Internet, we can scrutinize public figures’ every word and action. Some of them will vanish like hot breath on a cold morning, while others get a free pass no matter what they do or say. What’s up with that?

Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson’s story is a lot. Despite the gravity of the situation, people managed to move on. After being convicted of sexual assault in 1992 and serving time in prison, he returned to boxing and immediately became a blockbuster attraction again, with his comeback marketed as an event in itself. Part of Tyson’s resilience is that his public persona expanded beyond sports. That controversy did not disappear, but it became a lot less prominent compared to all his other scandals and achievements.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Arnold spent decades honing the image of a perfect movie star, then in 2011, he came out, confirming he had fathered a child, Joseph Baena, during his marriage to Maria Shriver. His honesty did play a big role in helping to restore his “brand.” He acknowledged it, and over time, he built a visible relationship with Joseph, taking accountability for his actions. He also kept working, moving into TV with Netflix’s FUBAR and popping up in new projects like Amazon MGM’s holiday action-comedy The Man with the Bag, where he’s literally Santa Claus. That’s commitment to reinvention.

Hugh Grant

In 1995, Hugh Grant went from being a rom-com heartthrob to a tabloid sensation after being arrested in Los Angeles with sex worker Divine Brown and charged with lewd conduct. That weekend must have been enjoyable for him, but the consequences soon became apparent. He pleaded no contest and was fined and owned it. He didn’t try to turn it into a conspiracy, didn’t pretend he was framed by a rogue paparazzi shrub, or anything like that. Grant appeared on television, acknowledged his mistake, and faced the consequences. Then he kept making movies. Perhaps it’s better to accept the consequences and move on.

Eminem

Ever since Eminem started his rapping career, the “controversy-free” part of his life went out the window. In 2018, he drew backlash for using a homophobic slur aimed at Tyler the Creator on the track “Fall,” later acknowledging he went too far. What’s striking is that the outrage didn’t translate into long-term career damage. His album Kamikaze was at the top spot on the Billboard 200 anyway, and the broader conversation quickly shifted back to his music, as well as smaller beefs.

Celebrities and Politicians Whose Health Has Us Nervous in 2026

Some famous people run on pure adrenaline, PR, and delusion. Others are dealing with very real health stuff in full public view—the kind you can’t spin into a “new era” announcement without looking unhinged.

Going into 2026, these are the names that keep making people quietly (or loudly) worry—either because there’s a confirmed diagnosis and a tough road, or because the health chatter around them just won’t stop.

Christina Applegate

Christina Applegate announced her MS diagnosis in the summer of 2021, and since then she’s been quite open about her health issues and struggles. She has shared in interviews that her life sometimes feels like hell and that there are a lot of things she struggles with or can no longer do at all.

Christina didn’t try to hide it and go on a quiet health journey or romanticize it in any way. She has openly stated that it’s impacting her ability to walk and how she struggles with balance, and she has brought a cane to red carpets. She described what her rough days look like, how she struggles to leave the house, how she can no longer walk down the stairs, and how she has to use a special sippy cup because just drinking water can be an issue.

So, going into 2026, Christina’s family and fans are feeling quite nervous about her health because the nature of MS is such that it’s degenerative and unpredictable and there’s no cure. But she’s got everyone rooting for her, partly because of how open and blunt she’s been about her diagnosis.

Céline Dion

You’ve probably never heard of stiff person syndrome (SPS) before Céline Dion revealed that she has it at the end of 2022. It’s a very rare autoimmune neurological condition that causes stiffness and painful spasms, which can impact a person’s ability to control their muscles. Céline has shared this info with her fans and has been pretty open about dealing with it. She’s also shared that her doctor is helping her treat it and has given her hope.

So while Céline Dion has had a comeback and returned to the stage, the SPS diagnosis means that her future career is unpredictable. You need muscle control to be precise in order to be able to sing like Céline does, and SPS isn’t something you can easily cure by resting and recuperating.

Donald Trump

The rumors about Donald Trump’s health are running rampant across the internet. Some analyse his public speeches and say he’s having cognitive issues; others say it’s just his personal quirks. There have also been rumors about Trump nodding off and falling asleep or looking very tired in front of the cameras, which Donald himself has addressed by saying journalists are spinning lies by taking photos of him mid-blink.

One thing that everyone has noticed is the bruises on Donald Trump’s hands. Some say that looks like he’s had IVs; others say it could be caused by aspirin or just his blood vessels and skin being more fragile due to the aging process.

Whatever those might be, we will never know for sure unless we see some medical reports from the Trump administration—and, let’s be real, that’s not likely to happen. So until we have some hard facts, it’s all just speculation.

8 Celebrities Who Got “Cancelled” In 2025

Fame might seem easy on the outside, but 2025 showed that celebrity life is not just rainbows and puppies. Some scandals burn up in a week, while others smolder slowly, releasing all sorts of noxious gases. This year had a mix of everything: courtroom dramas, embarrassing social media moments, tone-deaf displays by wealthy people, and PR choices that make you question if anyone in the room thought twice about doing something stupid.

1. Leonardo DiCaprio

Being a climate activist is challenging when you (partially) own a luxurious hotel in Tel Aviv. Not only is it bad for DiCaprio’s karma to have a stake in a huge, juicy money magnet like that, but he’s also basically indirectly throwing his voice into the whole Israel/Palestine situation. A lot of his fans found it quite tone-deaf. Then, he attended Bezos’s Venice wedding in a freaking jet of all things, which resulted in his “climate activist club” card being shredded to pieces.

2. Rachel Zegler

Disney’s live-action Snow White was a flop, but for some reason, Disney was acting like people were dumb for hating on it. Zegler faced backlash from multiple directions, including casting complaints and criticism of the 1937 original. Then she cracked her knuckles and started saying all sorts of things on social media, including a Trump diss, and showing support for Palestinians. When the film flopped like a dead fish, it was clear that it was not what a $270 million remake is supposed to look like. Bad remake aside, it’s weird how technically being right can still tank your popularity if you start shouting at people on Twitter.

3. Blake Lively

If 2025 had a “Most Likely To Be Settled And Somehow Got Worse” award, Blake Lively’s legal saga would’ve been the only nominee. Her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni carried over from 2024, and Baldoni’s January 2025 countersuit basically argued that both of these knucklehead stars used their influence to seize control of a project, then tried to play dumb when things went sour. Then came yet another lawsuit, plus some other stuff, and in the middle of it all, she still landed a Time “most influential” nod, and publicly kept her comments short. You can tell she was trying not to ruin everything by saying too much.

The Wildest Rumors About Miley Cyrus And Her Family Will Leave You Stunned

As far as family drama goes, Miley Cyrus’ family is hard to compete with. It’s made up of former music superstar Billy Ray Cyrus, his ex-wife Tish Cyrus, and their six kids, Miley, Brandi, Trace, Braison, and Christopher. The family has been through many controversies and tragedies, and their relationships haven’t always survived those difficult times.

One memorable moment was in April 2022, when Tish filed for divorce from her husband after nearly 30 years of marriage. After this, there was a huge family feud that consisted of Miley and her father falling out and being estranged, and losing shade thrown from both parties. However, Miley admitted that their issues started before the divorce took place, telling Monica Lewinsky on the “Reclaiming” podcast, “My family has had a really difficult, you know—what did you call your decade? Dark decade? Yeah, we had one of those. Half of us weren’t speaking to each other at one point.”

The “Flowers” singer confessed that much of the tension came from poor communication and not clearing up drama as it was happening. But in 2025, she made it her mission to end the family drama and mend the rifts, especially the feud between her and her father. On the podcast, she spoke about wanting her family to feel like she was a “safe space” to come to and someone who always had “the white flag” when they came to speak to her about difficult issues.

While they’re now on a journey towards reconciliation, it’ll be hard for the public to remember all the insane rumors that spread about the Cyrus family while they were fighting with each other.

Biggest Celebrity Deaths of 2025

2025’s celebrity death list was so long you’d get tired from just scrolling, not to mention reading all of them. We lost rock and wrestling icons, a world-changing scientist, cult-film royalty, and familiar TV faces, all of whom left a mark in totally different ways. And all these people are just a drop in the bucket. Some of the deaths were expected after long health battles; others were shocking and sudden, with stories that still feel unreal.

Here are the nine most talked-about deaths of 2025, and why each one hit so hard.

Ozzy Osbourne

Black Sabbath’s legendary frontman, solo star, and chaotic reality-TV dad died on July 22, 2025, at 76. He’d been dealing with major health issues for what felt like decades but still found the strength to do a final hometown farewell with Sabbath earlier that month, giving fans one last “Prince of Darkness” moment. Whether you knew him for your dad’s heavy-metal vinyl collection or for making The Osbournes one of the most entertaining reality TV shows ever, Ozzy’s influence was everywhere.

Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan died on July 24, 2025, at 71, after suffering a heart attack at his home in Clearwater, Florida. For millions of fans, he wasn’t just some WWE pro wrestler—he was the wrestler. Ever heard of “Hulkamania?” Since his big break in the 1980s, when he dipped his muscular toes into acting and won multiple world titles, Hogan became a larger-than-life figure both inside and outside the ring.

Kelley Mack

On August 2, 2025, at the age of 33, Kelley Mack lost her courageous battle with a brain tumor. Many fans knew Mack as Addy on The Walking Dead, but she also appeared on other shows like 9-1-1 and Chicago Med. After the news broke, people weren’t just remembering the roles she played, but also mourning the bright, ambitious presence she had off-screen.

Top 10 Signs Your Crush Likes You Back Even If They’re Shy

Have you ever had a big crush on someone? You definitely have. But wouldn’t it be nice to know if they liked you back? Maybe if you paid attention, you’d see the subtle signs, but it’s not too late still. Acquiring the ability to recognize these subtle cues can boost your self-assurance and enhance your enjoyment of the game.

Here are 10 clear signs your crush likes you back.

1. The Text Messages Are a Dead Giveaway

If your secret boo starts conversations, replies fairly quickly, and doesn’t ghost you for three business days, that’s a great sign. Shy people may not be the best at communicating, but when they do reach out, you know they’re for real. But wait, there’s more to that than meets the eye! Look at the length of their messages. Are they longer than your typical “LOL,” aka “I don’t have time for this”? Do they contain real questions and playful banter? If the answer is yes, they definitely like you. And if they’re the type to send “good morning” or “good night” messages, that’s basically a marriage proposal.

2. The Eye Contact

Shy crushes often make eye contact and then immediately act like the wall behind you is the most fascinating piece of architecture ever created. Still, eye contact is one of the clearest signals. If they hold your gaze a little longer than they do with other people, smile when you catch them looking, or keep glancing your way during conversations, it usually means they’re interested. However, a quick look-away doesn’t always indicate disinterest; it can also be a sign of nerves.

3. The Mirroring

Body language does a lot of the talking when words feel risky. Let’s assume, for example, that your crush starts matching your posture or gestures, leaning in when you speak, or turning their body toward you, even in a group setting—that’s a solid sign they feel connected and comfortable. Mirroring often occurs subconsciously, indicating a lack of self-control. Therefore, it’s important to respect their feelings and simply match their energy.

4. Stalking You on Socials

Not in a bad way, no, but if the person you adore keeps hitting that like button mere seconds after you’ve posted a photo of your cat at 4 am, it could mean that they’re also into you. Like, there’s a slight chance. Shy people often find online interactions easier because it’s a “safer” way to engage without the pressure of face-to-face flirting. It’s just natural curiosity with a Wi-Fi connection.

10 Disasters That Were Completely Preventable

Some disasters are genuinely freak accidents. Bad luck. Fate. “Wrong place, wrong time.” But a surprising number of “historic tragedies” weren’t random at all—they were the end result of ignored warnings, sloppy engineering, rushed decisions, or someone in a meeting saying, “Let’s just do it and hope for the best.”
The scary part isn’t that humans make mistakes. It’s that we often repeat the same ones: normalize risks, skip safety tests, and treat worst-case scenarios like they’re just “being dramatic.” Here are ten disasters that were preventable in their scale and outcome—if basic precautions, smarter choices, or timely action had been taken.

1. The Titanic Myth

The Titanic didn’t sink because an iceberg came out of nowhere like a jump scare. It sank because people were way too confident.
They knew there was ice. Other ships kept warning them all day. But Titanic didn’t slow down enough, they kept going pretty fast because they thought, well, it was the Titanic. And as we all know, the ship didn’t have enough lifeboats for everyone. The rules were outdated and based on The British Board of Trade and it only took into consideration ship tonnage, not the number of people on board. All that plus they were overconfident in the idea that Titanic was considered basically unsinkable.
If they actually slowed down and taken the warnings seriously they would’ve had enough time to correct course and potentially avoid the iceberg, or if they at least carried lifeboats for everyone a lot more people would’ve made it.

2. The Great Molasses Flood

This one sounds fake. It is not.
In 1919, a giant tank full of molasses in Boston straight-up exploded, sending a wave of sticky syrup through the streets. People were literally trapped and drowned in molasses. It was truly awful and surreal.
The worst part is that the tank had been leaking for years, and everyone knew it was a mess. It was poorly built, never properly tested, and instead of fixing it, the company basically tried to hide the leaks.
This would have been so easy to prevent if they just didn’t cut the corners, did safety checks and, most obviously, responded correctly when a giant tank started leaking instead of trying to cover it up.

3. Chornobyl: Disaster by Bad Decisions

Chornobyl wasn’t a freak accident—it was the result of a badly run test, a flawed reactor design, and a system that didn’t like people asking questions.
What’s even worse is that the aftermath was handled horribly. The firefighters who were sent in to deal with the explosion weren’t told they were walking into extreme radiation. They had no protective gear or proper equipment to deal with what was basically a nuclear explosion. Meanwhile, the Soviet officials downplayed the danger, delaying the evacuation of nearby Pripyat for over a day while residents went about their routines, completely unaware they were being exposed to radiation.
How it was preventable: safer reactor design, better training, the ability to shut down a dangerous test, and honest communication. Acting quickly—and telling the truth—could have saved countless lives.

4. The Hindenburg Fireball

The Hindenburg disaster is that black-and-white footage everyone’s seen—the giant airship bursting into flames while landing.
Here’s the thing: it was filled with hydrogen, which is super flammable. Everyone knew it was very risky, but still chose to cut corners because hydrogen was cheaper and easier to get than helium, so that’s what they used.
A gas leak plus a spark was all it took. Choosing safer materials and not flying giant floating fire hazards could’ve avoided the whole thing.

10 Tallest Women of the Modern Era

Human height records are a mess of rumors, exaggerations, and badly translated listicles. So instead of random tall ladies, who may or may not have been real (according to the internet or hearsay), let’s focus on women whose heights are backed by Guinness World Records or multiple reliable sources. A few of them were officially crowned as “the tallest living woman” at some point; others turned their extraordinary height into legendary basketball careers, but either way, these ten really are towering figures, literally.

1. Siddiqa Parveen – 7’8″ (234 cm), India

This Indian woman, Siddiqa Parveen, was listed by the GWR as the tallest living woman around 2014, with a reported height of about 7 ft 8 in (234 cm). Her growth was linked to a pituitary disorder, similar to many other extreme-height cases.

2. Yao Defen – 7’7″ (233.3 cm), China

Yao Defen was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s tallest living woman, measuring 233.3 cm (7 ft 7 in) at the time of her last official documentation. Born in 1972 in Anhui province, she lived with gigantism caused by a pituitary tumor and held the title until her death in 2012.

3. Sandy Allen – 7’7″ (231.7 cm), USA

Sandra “Sandy” Allen from the United States was certified by Guinness in the 1970s as the tallest living woman at roughly 7 ft 7 in (around 231.7 cm). She kept that title for decades and became something of a gentle-giant celebrity, openly discussing life with gigantism.

4. Zhang Ziyu – 7’3″ (220 cm), China

Chinese basketball prodigy Zhang Ziyu is listed in tall-person databases at about 220 cm (7 ft 3 in), making her one of the tallest active female athletes in the world. Still in her teens, she’s widely expected to dominate women’s basketball if she continues professionally.

10 Rarest Things Ever Discovered

Some discoveries are so weird and so specific that nature basically went, “You better pay attention because I’m only going to show this thing one time,” and meant it. These one-of-a-kind finds confuse scientists, break theories, and make the rest of us feel like we’re living in a never-ending side quest.

From a penguin that looks like it escaped a lemonade commercial to a literal glass brain, here are ten things that, as far as we know, have only ever shown up once in the history of the universe.

A Yellow Penguin

In 2019, photographer Yves Adams was snapping king penguins on South Georgia Island when one bird showed up looking like it had wandered out of a highlighter factory. Instead of black and white, this penguin was mostly white and glowing golden-yellow. Experts think it has leucism, a pigment disorder that wipes out melanin in some feathers and turns normally dark areas yellow. Cases like this are believed to be rarer than “one in tens of thousands,” and this is the only documented yellow king penguin in the world. One could say it’s the shiny version of a regular penguin.

Gwada-Negative

In 2025, a patient in Guadeloupe baffled lab techs when her blood refused to match any known donor sample, including those from her own siblings. After running genetic tests, scientists figured out why. A mutation had removed a specific sugar molecule from her red blood cells, creating an entirely new blood group. It didn’t fit into any of the 48 recognized systems, so it got its own name: Gwada-Negative. Right now, she’s the only known person in the world with this blood type. Since there are no compatible donors, a transfusion would be incredibly risky.

Kyawthuite

The rarest mineral on Earth is a tiny orange crystal someone almost ignored at a gem market in Myanmar. In 2010, a geologist bought what he thought was ordinary scheelite. Once it was cut and analyzed, nothing made any sense. The Gemological Institute of America eventually figured out it was natural bismuth antimonate, previously only known as a man-made material. Officially named “kyawthuite” in 2015, it weighs about one-third of a gram and is still the only known specimen. It likely formed under incredibly specific volcanic conditions we can’t yet reproduce, which is science’s polite way of saying, “No idea how the planet did this.”

Demi Moore’s Dating History: Every Romance That Made Headlines

Brunette beauty Demi Moore is one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses. She was the highest-paid female star in the mid-1990s, and her rise to fame began in 1985 when she landed the role of Jules in “St. Elmo’s Fire.” It cemented her as a member of the Brat Pack in the 80s, and while some members of the Pack struggled with their careers as they got older, Demi would continue to thrive, taking on roles in movies like “Indecent Proposal,” “G.I. Jane,” and “A Few Good Men.” She did take a step back for a time to focus on raising her three kids, and at one point, the public became more obsessed with scrutinizing her romantic life than her acting chops. Here are all the relationships Demi Moore has been in over the years.

Tom Dunston

When she was just 15, Moore started dating the 28-year-old Tom Dunston, around the same time she was dealing with a toxic personal life at home. Though problematic now, Moore wrote in her memoir, “He was an attractive 28-year-old with a gentle presence. He immediately made me feel at ease.”

Freddy Moore

Moore had a thing for older musicians and moved on from Dunston with another named Freddy Moore. The guitarist started dating her when she was 16 and he was 29. Another red flag? He was married? That said, they continued seeing each other and ultimately married, though the marriage was short-lived. They were together from 1980 to 1985, but she kept his last name.

Jon Cryer

These two were lovey-dovey co-stars on “No Small Affair,” and their chemistry carried over into real life. Though they dated, Cryer was always more committed to the relationship and admitted that he once came over to her place, where the housekeeper said he was with another man. Moore believed she took his virginity and admitted in her memoir that she was callous with his feelings, but Cryer said he actually lost his virginity in high school.

Emilio Estevez

Moore once fell for another member of the “Brat Pack”: Emilio Estevez. They dated during “St. Elmo’s Fire” and got engaged after just six months of dating, but Moore discovered that Estevez was being unfaithful, learning of the infidelity from a friend who saw them just days after they mailed out wedding invitations. He even got an ex pregnant while they were together, and they split before the wedding. At Estevez’s premiere party for “Stakeout”, she met future hubby Bruce Willis.

9 Times the Kardashians Shocked the World

The Kardashians have built their brand and made their living by shocking the world — and their viewers — with their tactics, life decisions, and attitudes. That’s what Keeping Up With the Kardashians is all about, isn’t it? They’re supposedly living their normal lives and we’re watching them, but in reality, their “normal” is quite outrageous to the regular person. Narrowing this list down to just nine moments wasn’t easy, but we did it.

1. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — The Grand Divorce

Kim and Kanye were an unusual couple, but somehow, they seemed like a perfect match. Remember when Kanye proposed at a stadium and all their friends and family were secretly waiting to celebrate with them? It was the stuff of fairytales.

They married in 2014 and quickly became the ultimate power couple — eccentric, stylish, and madly in love. That’s why it came as such a shock when the relationship fell apart. What looked like a modern royal romance ended in one of Hollywood’s most publicized divorces.

2. Khloé Kardashian’s Transformation (Style, Face & All)

Khloé has always been open about her transformation — or shall we say, her self-improvement journey. Over the years and seasons of KUWTK, everything about her evolved: her hair, face, body, fashion sense, and confidence.

But this wasn’t just about cosmetic tweaks or gym hours; it was personal growth. Khloé went from being the funny side character to a confident, business-savvy woman and a central figure in the Kardashian empire.

3. Kylie Jenner Becomes the World’s Youngest “Self-Made” Billionaire

Considering Kylie is the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, it was a shock when Forbes announced that she was a “self-made billionaire” at just 21. We all knew her Lip Kits were popular, but a billion-dollar valuation? That was wild.

Then came the twist — Forbes retracted the claim after reviewing the numbers, saying she wasn’t quite a billionaire after all. What was more shocking: the overstatement or the very public correction? Hard to say.

Worst Celebrity Halloween Costumes You’ll Wish You Could Unsee

Celebs have the money, glamorous entourages, and access to movie-grade prosthetics. All that power could be used to make the best Halloween costumes, but alas, so many of them still default to boring “sexy” clichés or ambitious ideas that crash into the uncanny valley. Sure, there are celebrities who go all-in, like Heidi Klum, who practically turned October into her personal Met Gala of spooky but fashionable outfits. But for every jaw-dropping transformation, there’s a costume that makes you wish your eyeballs had a “reset and forget” button.

From haunted morning shows to toys that never should’ve left the ’90s, here are the celebrity looks that prove spooky season doesn’t always mean stylish season.

Megyn Kelly’s MAGA Trash Bag

For the 2024 Halloween Megyn Kelly posted “Happy Halloween, Garbage People!” while dressed literally as a bag of trash topped with a MAGA hat, heavily hinting at something or other. It’s rare to see a costume that’s both low-effort and can annoy half the population of your country. Was the joke the bag? The hat? The caption? The answer is yes. If the goal was “viral, but make it cringe,” mission accomplished.

Colton Haynes’s Miss Piggy

If Miss Piggy fell victim to the Mar-a-Lago face trend, this is what she might look like. In felt puppet form, Miss Piggy always looks fab, but “Teen Wolf” star Colton Haynes’ cosmetically corrupted take on her iconic look almost feels like an insult. The blend of human, hog, overstuffed lips, and generously enhanced “assets” also makes for one downright disturbing Halloween costume mix. At least now we know that the world doesn’t need a “The Muppets Take Mar-a-Lago” movie.

“Today” Show’s Peanuts

Morning TV tried 2015 cosplay and summoned sleep paralysis demons because what the heck, man? Hoda as Snoopy, Kathie Lee as Woodstock, Meredith Vieira as Pig-Pen, and Al Roker as Charlie Brown should have been cute, but instead, the oversized heads, tiny ears, and that scribble of Charlie’s hair turned beloved comic strip characters into uncanny freaks. It was less of a “yikes” and more of a “dear god, make them stop!”

Elon Musk’s Iron Man From Hell

At Heidi’s 2022 bash, Elon arrived in deep-red armor, looking sort of like RDJ’s legally distinct Iron Man. The most significant difference is the breastplate featuring Baphomet, and the official label dubbing it “Devil’s Champion.” Tech-bro cosplay meets Hot Topic CEO. If you squinted, you could almost see all the people around him rolling their eyes. Musk had those cheesy super-villain vibes minus the self-awareness that makes comic book baddies fun.

6 Celebrities Who Can No Longer Live a Normal Life

Chronic and rare illnesses don’t care how famous you are. They change routines, reshape careers, and ask a lot, physically and emotionally. When public figures share what they’re going through, it can clear up myths, reduce stigma, and help people with similar conditions feel seen.

1. Bruce Willis—From Aphasia to Frontotemporal Dementia

In 2022, Bruce Willis retired from acting. The cause for that decision was a medical condition called aphasia, a disorder that impairs speech and communication. Not long after, his family revealed that Willis had a more severe diagnosis—frontotemporal dementia (FTD). They stressed in their statement that language problems were merely a component of a more general neurodegenerative disease. By going public, the family promoted tolerance and understanding for those who suffer from FTD and helped many people understand what it is and is not.

2. Britney Spears—Conservatorship and Its Fallout

Britney Spears described a life in which she was deprived of basic choices while living under a conservatorship that was primarily run by her father for years. She gave examples in court to demonstrate how little say she had in her everyday life, claiming that she was forced to work, put on medication she didn’t want, sent to a treatment center against her will, and even prevented from getting married or taking off her IUD. In November 2021, a Los Angeles judge ended the arrangement after years of intense scrutiny and the #FreeBritney movement.

The 10 Worst Celeb Breakups of 2025

It’s easy to get invested in celebrity relationships—we all remember swooning when Tom Holland and Zendaya got engaged in 2024 and showed off that gorgeous ring at the 2025 Golden Globes. But as brightly as celebrity love burns, it sometimes fizzles out and ends up nowhere. Here are the most high-profile breakups of 2025 that have us weeping.

1. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

On September 29, these two decided to part ways after nearly 20 years of marriage. Rumors have it that they had been living under separate roofs since summer 2025, and a People source said that while Kidman had been “fighting to save the marriage,” Urban was ready to close this chapter of their lives. A Daily Mail insider added that they broke up because the relationship had lost its spark and intimacy. It seems that Kidman’s busy filming schedule in 2024 might have distracted her from the growing cracks in their marriage.

2. Chase Stokes and Kelsea Ballerini

We were really rooting for these two. It all started when Ballerini slid into Stokes’ DMs—their relationship seemed easy and breezy. But after three years, arguments began creeping in. A Us Weekly source called it a “hard split,” revealing that Ballerini was the one who ended things. Their demanding schedules simply couldn’t align. The couple began dating in 2023 after Ballerini divorced musician Morgan Evans.

3. Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson

The singer and the NFL player are headed to Splitsville after 10 years of marriage and three kids together. On January 13, 2025, they announced their breakup, saying, “Eric and I have been living separately, navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them.” They’ve since listed their Hidden Hills, California, home for sale.

4. Jessica Alba and Cash Warren

Alba and Warren’s love story began in 2004 on the set of Fantastic Four. They married in 2008 and welcomed their first child the same year. But in 2025, after months of appearing publicly without wedding rings, Alba announced it was time for a new chapter of “growth and evolution as individuals.” According to insiders, the romance had slowly turned into a friendship, and Warren reportedly struggled with jealousy over the attention Alba received from other men.

20 Craziest Celebrity Yearbook Photos

Before they were red-carpet regulars, these future A-listers were just kids saying “cheese” in fluorescent-lit hallways. Some achieved their peak early, some underwent infamous awkward phases, and a few already appeared poised for Hollywood.

She posted a throwback carousel all the way from elementary school to her “Bad Bitch Academy” graduation. By her late teens, she was modeling, and, of course, would soon reboot fame itself with The Simple Life in 2003.

2. Chris Pratt

He shared this as part of the “Teenage Dirtbag” trend, but let’s face it, he was more of a “student sweetheart” than a dirtbag. At Lake Stevens High, he played football, wrestled, ran track, and gave the graduation speech. Later, he was famously discovered while waiting tables at a Bubba Gump in Maui.

3. Tom Hanks

Skyline High (Oakland, CA), Class of ’74. Honestly, he already has leading man energy. Before winning those two Oscars, Teen Tom had a deep passion for theater and considered community productions his second home.

4. Kevin Bacon

“Ninth grade. Don’t miss it,” Bacon joked, wearing a snazzy turtleneck and all. At 17, he moved to NYC to study at Circle in the Square, which was a bold move that paid off (eventually).

5. Jennifer Garner

Proud band kid with “Sally the sexy saxophone.” She also did years of ballet and later studied theater at Denison University before Alias turned her into an action icon.

6. Michelle Obama

In cap and gown, cheering on the Class of 2021: “You’ve got this.” She attended Chicago’s Whitney Young Magnet High before heading to Princeton and Harvard Law. Yearbook quotes wish they had that résumé.

7. Snoop Dogg

Behold Calvin Broadus, a.k.a. “high school Snoopy.” He was at Long Beach Poly—yes, the same place that cranked out star athletes—and he played a little football before the 213 era with Warren G and Nate Dogg.

Here’s How Much Donald Trump’s Divorces Really Cost Him

Divorce is never cheap. For us regular folks, it’s lawyer bills, splitting the couch, and arguing over who gets the cat. But when billionaires split? We’re talking price tags that make your jaw hit the floor. Bill Gates handed Melinda a cool $25 billion. Jeff Bezos? His ex walked away with $36 billion in Amazon stock.

And then there’s Donald Trump. For all his years on the Forbes list and his love of gold-plated everything, Trump’s divorces didn’t come close to those sky-high payouts. But don’t get it twisted—he still had to shell out plenty, especially when he was going through one of the roughest financial patches of his life.

Ivana Trump: The “Billion Dollar Blowup” That Wasn’t

Donald and Ivana’s marriage was tabloid fodder long before reality TV existed. They tied the knot in 1977, built a brand together, had three kids, and then it all imploded in 1990 when Ivana discovered he was having an affair. Cue headlines like “Trump vs. Trump: Billion Dollar Blowup.”

So, how much did Ivana actually walk away with? Thanks to a prenup (and Trump’s not-so-rosy bank account at the time), the numbers weren’t nearly as outrageous as you’d think:

  • $14 million in cash (that’s about $32 million today)
  • A sprawling Connecticut estate
  • A Trump Plaza apartment
  • The right to spend one month a year at Mar-a-Lago
  • Around $650,000 a year in child support

Not exactly pocket change, but compared to Bezos-level divorce money, it’s practically bargain-bin.

Marla Maples: The Discount Divorce

If Ivana’s settlement was a “big one,” Trump’s second divorce was more like the clearance rack. He married Marla Maples—his former mistress—in 1993, and by then he was billions in debt. So, guess what? That prenup was tighter than Fort Knox.

When they split in 1999, Marla got:

  • About $2 million total (half of it earmarked for a house)
  • $100,000 a year in child support for their daughter Tiffany until she turned 21

Yep, that’s it. To put it in perspective, that’s less than what some Hollywood celebs spend on a wedding dress.

And What About Melania?

As for Melania, Trump’s current wife, there’s no public record of any settlements—because, well, they’re still married. But given Trump’s history, you can bet that prenup is locked, sealed, and probably notarized six ways from Sunday.

So, What Did We Learn?

Here’s the takeaway:

  • Trump’s divorces cost him millions, but nowhere near billionaire-scale billions.
  • Prenups saved him a fortune.
  • The emotional price tags? Probably bigger than the financial ones—Ivana admitted her ex’s affair left “deep scars,” and Marla has called the media frenzy around their breakup “heart-ripping.”

At the end of the day, Donald’s settlements were pricey, sure, but they weren’t life-ruining. And compared to Bezos or Gates? Let’s just say his exes didn’t exactly hit the divorce jackpot.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s Complete Dating History

Leo’s a great actor, you can’t deny that. But his dating history has been so extensive and kind of predictable that it basically became a meme. Now we all jokingly predict the demise of each of his relationships the moment his model girlfriend turns 25. But has it really always been that way? Were there any exceptions? Is there any sign of change now that he’s gotten older?

1994: Bridget Hall

Leo’s first major rumored romance was with model Bridget Hall. At the time, he was fresh off What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and just entering the public eye. The New York press hinted that the two hooked up, but by 1998 Hall denied it ever happened, even claiming, “nothing happened.” Tabloids had painted it as a fling gone wrong, but Hall later brushed it off as overblown speculation.

1995: Naomi Campbell

The following year, Leo was linked to Naomi Campbell — and who wasn’t in the ’90s? Their romance was reportedly brief, more of a spark than a full-on relationship, but the two remained close friends. Unlike many of his exes, Naomi kept him in her inner circle, and the pair have been spotted together socially years after the fact.

1996–1997: Kristen Zang

Kristen Zang was one of Leo’s first serious girlfriends. She even spoke candidly to People about their romance, describing him as thoughtful and sweet. They traveled together while he filmed abroad, hung out with each other’s friends, and lived something close to a normal relationship despite the fame. Kristen ended things a few months after her 25th birthday — not that she didn’t notice the timing herself, joking about the “25 rule” in hindsight.

1997: Amber Valletta

Amber Valletta was another one of Leo’s supermodel crushes. The story goes that Leo spotted her in a magazine, asked someone to track her down, and they briefly dated. Neither of them confirmed the romance publicly, but the story has lived on as a classic Leo move.

1997: Helena Christensen

That same year, Leo was also linked to Danish model Helena Christensen. Like Amber, their supposed relationship was more rumor than fact, fueled by the limited tabloid culture of the late ’90s. With little evidence to back it up, this one goes down in history as more speculation than romance.

1998: Eva Herzigová

These two met at the premiere of The Man in the Iron Mask and apparently the connection was almost instant. Eva publicly spoke about DiCaproio,  said Leo was a kind man, full of energy, and no to subtly hinted at a memorable first night together. It didn’t last long, but Eva’s rare public comments made this fling more than just a whisper.

2000: Virginie LeDoyen

Leo was linked to his French co-star Virginie LeDoyen since they worked together on The Beach,. Rumor has it that their on-screen chemistry carried over off set, but LeDoyen later dismissed it as tabloid exaggeration. She was far more focused on criticizing the overwhelming media frenzy and said she would “not wish” his level of fame on anyone.

7 Celebrity Splits That Have Defined 2025 So Far

If 2024 was the year of celebrity engagements and fairytale weddings (yes, we’re still thinking about Zendaya flashing that ring at the Golden Globes), then 2025 has been marked by splits. Some of these couples had been together for what felt like forever, others just a few years—but each breakup sparked its own mix of shock, gossip, and “Well, we kinda saw that coming.” Let’s rewind the tape for the romances that didn’t survive the year.

Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom

Last but not least, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. After years of ups and downs—from their romantic 2019 engagement to therapy sessions trying to smooth out the bumps—the couple finally called it quits in July. Their statement stressed love and respect as they focused on raising their daughter Daisy, but behind the scenes, things had been tense for months. Touring schedules, career stress, and maybe just too many years of “are they on or off this week?” finally caught up with them.

Sydney Sweeney & Jonathan Davino

Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino have been together since 2018. They even got engaged in 2022. Just last year during her Saturday Night Live monologue, Sydney called him “the man of my dreams.” Which made their 2025 breakup sting even more for fans. By March, Sydney was showing up to events solo and keeping quiet about it all. Insiders whispered that the split had more to do with timing—Sydney’s skyrocketing career and her decision to hold off on marriage and kids until her 30s. Fair enough; she’s only 27 and on a major Hollywood roll.

Dakota Johnson & Chris Martin

After nearly a decade together, Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin finally closed the book on their romance in June. The cracks had been there for a while: a never-ending engagement, endless delays in setting a wedding date, and whispers that Dakota wanted kids while Chris felt he was done after having two with Gwyneth Paltrow. Friends said the relationship had technically been over for some time, but Dakota loved both Chris and his kids so much that she held on longer than she should have. But now she’s now free to find someone ready to match her energy for both love and family.

Jessica Simpson & Eric Johnson

Jessica Simpson’s decade-long marriage to former NFL player Eric Johnson came to an end this January. The announcement wasn’t exactly shocking—the two had reportedly been living separately for a while, and days before the news broke they quietly listed their Hidden Hills mansion for sale. They share three kids and say their focus is on co-parenting, but fans couldn’t help raising eyebrows at Jessica’s cryptic studio posts right before the split: she promised a comeback album and called it “an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.” Sounds like some tracks might hit a little too close to home.

Hottest Women With the Best Legs

Let’s be honest, usually we love celebrities for their pretty faces and Hollywood smiles. But many times, usually when we get to know them better (through their work), we start appreciating their other standout features, like their wonderful, silky smooth legs.

Who would you say has the best pair of gams in Hollywood?

1. Charlize Theron

Charming Charlize Theron was born in South Africa in 1975. At sixteen years old, she won a modeling contest and moved to Europe and then to New York to study ballet. A knee injury ended her dance career, so she turned to acting. Her role in Monster (2003) earned her an Oscar, making her the first South African to win Best Actress. Since then, she has starred in popular films like Atomic Blonde and Mad Max: Fury Road. She also produces movies through her company, Denver and Delilah Productions. Being one of the most influential people according to The Times, Theron is powerful both in front of and behind the camera.

2. Blake Lively

Born in Los Angeles to a family of entertainers, acting was in her DNA. Her big break came as Serena van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, which made her a fashion icon and household name. She’s since starred in films like The Age of Adaline and A Simple Favor, showing her range beyond teen drama. Lively also tried her hand at entrepreneurship with her lifestyle site Preserve and is active in child safety advocacy through groups like the Child Rescue Coalition.

3. Kylie Minogue

Kylie Minogue is Australia’s pop princess turned global icon. Born in 1968 in Melbourne, she first became famous as Charlene on Neighbours before launching a music career with her 1987 smash Locomotion. She dominated the charts with hits like I Should Be So Lucky and later reinvented herself with dance and electropop tracks, earning a Grammy for Come Into My World.

4. Sharon Stone

Sharon Stone’s Hollywood story is pure star power. She started as a fashion model before moving into acting. She grabbed the world’s attention in Basic Instinct (1992) as Catherine Tramell, earning an Oscar nod. She later won a Golden Globe for Casino and proved she could handle everything from thrillers to dramas. Off-screen, she’s a passionate philanthropist, especially for AIDS research through amfAR. Stone’s resilience has kept her both relevant and admired.

The Most Epic Figure Skating Moments Ever

If you think figure skating is all about twirling on ice in sparkly costumes than oh boy are you missing the wild side of ice skating. Fire skating just looks like an elegant and graceful dance, but in reality this sport can be quite cut-throat and dangerous. Not to mention that it’s full of truly epic and historic moments. So grab your skates and let’s glide through the stories that put figure skating on the map.

Nancy Kerrigan’s Silver Against All Odds

Nancy Kerrigan won a silver medal at the 1994 Winter Olympics. And while silver might not sound as impressive as gold, wait till you hear about why Nancy’s win is actually quite epic. Nancy had no intention of becoming a part of one of the most infamous sports scandals ever, but it still happened agains her will. Seven weeks before the fateful Winter Olympics of 1994 she was attacked with a baton to the knee, which was a ploy by Tonya Harding’s associates to eradicate the competition. For most athletes that injury would mean that they’re out for the season, if not forever. But Kerrigan came back and was allowed to compete in Lillehammer. Despite all odds she won silver, turning what could have been a tragic end of her career into one of the most iconic comebacks in Olympic history.

John Curry’s Untouchable 1976 Score

When watching figure skating competitions people often fixate more on the female athletes, but let us tell you, the male figure skaters are no joke either. Take for example – John Curry. He performed to Don Quixote at the 1976 Innsbruck Games and brought home the gold medal. What’s more, he casually scored 105.9 out of 108 possible points. That’s still the highest score a male figure skater has ever earned, to this day! That’s not just a record—that’s a mic drop on ice.

Peggy Fleming Bringing a Nation Back

Peggy Fleming’s was the only American to win gold at the 1968 Winter Olympics, so naturally her victory was very memorable and celebrated. But there’s another layer to her victory. You see, just 7 years prior the entirety of the U.S. staking team died in a tragic Sabena Flight 548 crash. The skating program was left completely devastated and many thought that it was the end of U.S. figure staking. So Peggy’s win truly became a symbol of hope and strength, and proof that figure skating in U.S. is far from over.
