Mark's New Mafia Look Turns Heads
Mark Wahlberg is looking less Hollywood hunk and more mob boss.
The actor is nearly unrecognizable in the trailer for By Any Means, sporting facial prosthetics, a fake nose and a shaggy wig to transform into notorious hitman Gregory Scarpa, aka the Grim Reaper.
The true-story crime drama stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as an FBI agent investigating the murders of civil rights leaders in 1960s Mississippi. Teasing the film, Wahlberg wrote, “I am excited to share the trailer for my new film BY ANY MEANS, based on a true story.”
Fans were floored by the makeover, with one raving, “Consider me officially ‘booked and busy’ the second this hits theaters!” while another joked, “Why the nose? I can’t unsee it.”
Safe to say, Wahlberg’s new look is killing it.
Janel & Sasha Make Their Love Story Red Carpet Official
Love is officially taking center stage.
Janel Parrish and Sasha Farber made their romance red carpet official at the Race to Erase MS Gala, twinning in white as they stepped into the spotlight together.
Parrish called the Dancing With the Stars pro “the sweetest, most brightest light to everybody that he meets” with “the biggest heart and is so caring and loving.” Farber returned the favor, saying, “She is so sweet, down to earth, so loving, so real, and I just feel so much support coming from her side.”
The pair first met on DWTS in 2014 and, as Parrish said “we were friends for years” before falling in love. This friends-to-lovers story definitely earned a perfect 10.

“What a special place!☀️✨ Que lugar especial!,” Bündchen captioned the tropical photo dump, which featured everything from ocean dips and sting rays to dancing in traditional Polynesian attire. One sweet snap showed her youngest son – whose name remains under wraps – holding her hand as they looked out over the crystal-clear water, while another captured Valente cuddling the little boy.
Between the postcard-worthy views and the rare family moments, this vacation was serving much more than sunscreen.

Kathy Basks in Bikini Bliss After Ending Her 'Dry Spell'
Kathy Griffin isn’t letting 65 cramp her style – or her love life.
Just hours after revealing a recent “rebound” ended her romantic dry spell, the comedian showed off her toned figure in a bright orange bikini during a luxe Hawaiian getaway.
Griffin first had fans cracking up by sharing a hilarious text exchange, captioning it: “I HAVE THE SWEETEST, MOST ROMANTIC FRIENDS. EVERRRRR 💐🙏😂.” One friend joked, “He was your rebound, not your forever. The first one back after a dry spell is confusing. But you’ve broken the seal. More d--- to come!” after Griffin quipped, “My provider does not cover it. Nor did his p---- come with an accurate warning.”
She later gave followers a tour of her Four Seasons stay, calling it “to die for.” Safe to say… she’s serving bikinis, punchlines, and absolutely zero apologies.
