Bill Calls Russian Affairs a 'Huge Mistake' After Epstein Drama
Bill Gates just downloaded himself into the scandal spotlight – and this version comes with Russian affairs and an Epstein reboot.
At a February 24 Gates Foundation town hall, the billionaire stunned staffers by admitting to two affairs while addressing his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. “It was a huge mistake to spend time with Epstein,” Gates confessed, according to a recording obtained by The Wall Street Journal. “I apologize to other people who are drawn into this because of the mistake that I made,” he added, insisting, “To be clear, I never spent any time with victims, the women around him.”
He also revealed: “I did have affairs, one with a Russian bridge player... and one with a Russian nuclear physicist...”
While he owned up to cheating, he dodged the STD allegations tied to newly released files.
Looks like even billionaires can’t ctrl-alt-delete their past.
'Fake Fantasy!' Biographer Slams Ryan's JFK Jr. Romance
Camelot chaos… a Kennedy insider is calling foul on Ryan Murphy’s glossy love story.
Biographer Maureen Callahan torched the first three episodes of Love Story, the FX series about John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, blasting it as a “completely fake fantasy.” On her podcast, she said she “hated” the opening scene showing Bessette changing her nail color, arguing it fuels rumors she was “late to the tarmac” the night of the fatal crash.
“The implication is John would never have crashed his plane if his shallow, superficial, vain, glorious wife hadn’t been getting a pedicure and just making the pedicurist redo and redo and redo,” she fumed, calling it “so misogynistic.”
“The only person whose fault that was was John F. Kennedy Jr. – beginning of story, end of story.”
Even nephew Jack Schlossberg blasted Murphy for “profiting off of” the tragedy, while Murphy fired back, calling the criticism “an odd choice.” That’s one Kennedy plot twist Murphy didn’t script.
Social Media Sleuths Target Wrong Man in Guthrie Case
The Nancy Guthrie saga just turned into a real-life game of internet Clue… and an innocent man got stuck holding the candlestick.
Arizona teacher Dominic Evans says online sleuths branded him a suspect simply because he’s in a band with Nancy’s son-in-law. Police never named him, but that didn’t stop social media from lighting the torches. “I feel like someone’s taken my name,” he said.
“I don’t know – monetary, clickbait, to be relevant, entertainment – but there are innocent people that get hurt.”
When a SWAT team raided a home 30 minutes away, strangers showed up at his house instead. “This one felt really, really, really scary, because it was like everyone was waiting for someone to come to our house.” Sheriff Chris Nanos admitted, “He’s going through h---, and it is horrible.”
Another case of the internet pointing fingers – and missing the mark.
Alyssa Debuts Heart-Melting Pics of Her Baby Boy
Alyssa Farah Griffin just delivered her sweetest take yet – baby Justin Patrick Griffin Jr.
The View co-host, 36, shared heart-melting hospital snaps on February 24 after welcoming her son on February 10, captioning the post, “Full heart 💙.” The photos showed Alyssa and husband Justin Griffin gazing at their newborn, while the proud dad beamed holding their little one. Alyssa even gave a thumbs-up from her hospital bed after unexpectedly going into early labor.
Co-star Whoopi Goldberg revealed on-air the baby boy weighed 7 pounds and measured 19 and a half inches, confirming both mom and baby are doing well.
After a tough fertility journey – including five rounds of IVF – the new mom gushed, “First and foremost, I have the best partner in the world.”
From Hot Topics to tiny toes… this panel just got a precious new addition.
WWE's Vince Wrecks Bentley at 115 MPH — & It's on Video
Vince McMahon just turned the Merritt Parkway into Monday Night Mayhem.
Newly released dash and body cam footage shows the former WWE boss barreling down a Connecticut highway at nearly 115 mph before slamming his 2024 Bentley into a BMW in July 2025. Police say the 80-year-old was weaving through traffic when he rear-ended the car, sending both vehicles crashing into a wooden guardrail. Watch the full video here.
When asked if he was on his phone, McMahon insisted he was “trying to drive,” adding, “I gotta get to the next exit.” At one point, he muttered, “God d--- it, stupid f------- fool.”
The BMW’s driver later wrote, “Lucky to have survived a horrific car crash,” claiming McMahon hit her at “80-90mph.”
Looks like this SmackDown happened off the mat.
Chelsea Celebrates Another Year With a Bikini Ski Stunt
Chelsea Handler is ringing in 51 the only way she knows how… half-naked and hurtling down a mountain.
The comedian kept up her wild birthday tradition on February 25, stripping down to a navy bikini before racing down the slopes. In the clip, a helicopter pilot can be heard saying, “Chelsea, it’s time to take your clothes off,” before dropping her off at the summit.
“Happy birthday to me! 💜,” she captioned the Reel.
Fans ate it up, with one calling it “One of the internet’s most treasured traditions,” while Jenna Fischer admitted, “I look forward to this post every year.”
Handler previously confessed she once micro-dosed on LSD for the stunt – and insists skiing nearly nude is “exhilarating” and gives her a “real buzz.”
Forget candles – Chelsea prefers frostbite, apparently.
