Heroes Star Hayden Dead at 36
Hollywood is mourning a star gone far too soon.
Hayden Panettiere has died at just 36 years old. Her rep confirmed the devastating news Sunday, saying, “It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her – and to the millions who watched her onscreen.”
The Nashville and Heroes star had recently opened up in her memoir about some of her darkest chapters, including addiction, an eight-month treatment stay and the crushing 2023 death of her younger brother, Jansen, at 28.
Last year, she wrote of him, “The pain isn’t quantifiable.”
A heartbreaking end for a star who spent years fighting her way through the darkness.
Jordyn Scores Her Happily Ever After With Karl-Anthony
Jordyn Woods just scored the ultimate ring!
The model, 28, married Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns, 30, in a lavish Malibu wedding overlooking the Pacific Ocean on Aug. 15. Woods walked down the aisle in a lace-covered chiffon gown with a dramatic train, while Towns suited up in a classic black tux.
But the guest list nearly stole the show. Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Michael B. Jordan, Teyana Taylor, Jada Pinkett Smith, Gayle King and Ben Stiller all reportedly joined the celebration, along with several Knicks players.
Woods and Towns began dating in 2020 before getting engaged on Christmas Day 2025.
Towns may play for the Knicks, but Jordyn just landed the biggest rock of all.
Harry & Meghan Told to 'Disappear' After Girl Scout Doc Flops
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s latest Hollywood swing looks like a miss.
The Sussexes’ Girl Scout documentary, Cookie Queens, reportedly pulled in just $354,000 from 446 theaters – and royal expert Kinsey Schofield thinks it’s time for the couple to go quiet.
“I would tell them to disappear professionally for a little while, dramatically reduce the number of announcements, and identify one genuinely compelling project with experienced people around them who know how to execute it,” she said.
The stumble follows Meghan’s canceled Netflix cooking show and the end of her Spotify deal. Schofield added: “They need to stop treating their celebrity as the product and start creating products strong enough to survive without their celebrity.”
Apparently, the next Sussex launch should be… no launch at all.
Nicole Faces 'Unrecognizable' Claims as Surgeon Weighs In
Nicole Kidman’s face is casting spells of its own.
The 59-year-old actress sparked “unrecognizable” and “AI-generated” chatter after her ultra-polished British Vogue cover dropped ahead of Practical Magic 2.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Omar Tillo suggested there could be some subtle tweaking behind Kidman’s youthful look. “She may well have had maintenance work including Botox, subtle dermal fillers to maintain volume through the cheeks and mid-face and non-surgical skin-tightening or resurfacing treatments to help maintain skin firmness and texture,” he said.
But Tillo stressed makeup, lighting and old-fashioned retouching could also explain the dramatic transformation – and there’s no way to tell whether AI was involved.
Forget Practical Magic… fans want to know what sorcery is happening in that glam chair.
Trump Gives Leavitt 'Camera, Camera' Cue Mid-Dance
Donald Trump apparently wanted to make sure Karoline Leavitt knew it was showtime.
The president, 80, busted out his signature “Y.M.C.A.” moves while heading to the stage at his Long Island rally on Aug. 14 – but a lip reader claims he also slipped his outgoing press secretary a not-so-subtle cue.
According to Nicola Hickling, Trump mouthed, “Camera, camera,” to Leavitt, 28, as he danced toward the podium.
The moment came just two days after Leavitt announced she’s leaving her White House role at the end of August to spend more time with her two young children. She’ll remain in Trump’s orbit as an outside adviser.
Even mid-“Y.M.C.A.,” Trump apparently never loses sight of his favorite dance partner: the camera.
Kylie Bares All in Nothing but Thong Sandals
Kylie Jenner is putting the “bare” in footwear.
The 29-year-old stripped down for a seriously steamy campaign teasing Khy’s first-ever shoe collection, posing nude with only her long dark hair strategically covering her assets – and, of course, the shoes taking center stage.
“I’ve worn @giaborghini for years, so this one felt right 🤍 i got to create my dream footwear for @khy, handmade in italy,” Jenner wrote, revealing the collab drops Aug. 21.
Fans quickly went wild, with one declaring, “Effortlessly iconic 🤍✨the whole look is perfection.”
Jenner launched Khy in 2023 and gave the brand a major refresh earlier this year.
Apparently, when the shoes are this good, clothes are optional.
