Anne Hathaway's Dazzling Maternity Fashion Steals the Show at Premiere New

Anne Hathaway's Dazzling Maternity Fashion Steals the Show at Premiere

Anne Hathaway’s maternity wardrobe continues to dazzle. Rocking a powder-blue high-neck top at the world premiere of her new film The End of Oak Street in California on Sunday, August 9, the pregnant star, 43, flashed her bump as it popped atop a pair of low-slung jeans. Positively radiant, Hathaway paired the top, which featured a long train and was lined with a red interior, with a red pop lip and red pointed heels. She wore her long dark mane back in a high ponytail that showed off drop earrings to create subtle sparkle, too. Hathaway’s newest maternity look, which continues on from a series of beautiful ensembles sported while promoting The Odyssey, comes after she subtly flashed her bump while attending a recording of SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live in New York City less than one month ago. The July 16 outing saw the actress pair another top that fell with a trail behind her as the front of the garment cut just above her navel. Hathaway, who is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman, announced her pregnancy via a sweet Instagram video on June 19. (Hathaway and Shulman, 45, are already parents to sons Jonathan, 10, and Jack, 6.) In the clip, which was captioned “x Baby I’m yours,” the Devil Wears Prada star walked into the camera frame before shifting her hands to reveal a growing bump. She then flashed a warm smile before jolting away from the camera. During a July 14 appearance on the Late Night With Seth Meyers show, Hathaway confessed that she was surprised to learn that she was pregnant with her third child. “We knew what we were doing but … we were so shocked it went this way,” she said at the time, adding that she and Shulman were “calling this one our buzzer-beater,” referring to a basketball shot that succeeds right before the final buzzer. The talk show interview also touched on how pregnancy is impacting Hathaway’s emotional state, with the film star arguing that Meyers, 52, couldn’t joke about her and director Christopher Nolan being “on a break” between 2014’s Interstellar and this year’s The Odyssey. (Hathaway starred in the former film, as well as Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises in 2012, before the latter was released last month.) “You can’t say we were on a break when I’m pregnant,” Hathaway said to Meyers during their chat. “I have, like, the way my body just was like, ‘No we weren’t, he was just … in Dunkirk.’” (The historical war film was created by Nolan, 56, in 2016, and released the following year.) Hathaway recently spoke to Access Hollywood about expectations she had while trying to conceive in her 40s. “There’s always hope until there’s not, but when you get to a certain age, that hope looks like it’s 1 percent to 2 percent,” she told the outlet while interviewed at the Odyssey premiere in New York City. “We just decided to see where life took us with a very, very healthy, realistic expectation, which was very low.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Stirs Conversations with Personal Egg-Freezing Decision New

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Stirs Conversations with Personal Egg-Freezing Decision

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is revealing a new chapter in her private life as she continues to represent New York City’s 14th congressional district. “Hey everyone, it’s been a minute since I’ve posted to stories, but I think it’s a good time to kind of dive back in again — it’s August recess and I think it’s good for you all to hear a little bit more from me directly,” the congresswoman, 36, said via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, August, 8, adding that she is “having some things happen” in her life that she wants to “share more” with her followers amid her "reflective mood.” “I want to share with you all a decision that is very personal that I have made that has taken me time to consider, weigh and save up for,” she continued, “And it is of a sensitive matter and a personal matter and usually I keep my private life quite private, but I have made the decision to start freezing my eggs.” Ocasio-Cortez, who was 29 when she was sworn into Congress after becoming the youngest woman elected to the House of Representatives in 2018, is currently engaged to her longtime partner Riley Roberts. The congresswoman admitted that her decision to freeze her eggs — one she plans to document for her social media followers — was due, in part, to near-constant speculation she will one-day be a frontrunner for the Democratic nominee for president. “The media will run up and ask a question like, ‘Are you going to run for this? or, ‘Are you going to run for that?’ And it’s almost through this very two-dimensional craven understanding or ambitious understanding of power,” she explained. “When I think a lot of us actually approach these considerations or these decisions through the larger context of our lives as whole human beings and what is happening in our lives as whole human beings.” Ocasio-Cortez — a common target of President Donald Trump and members of the Republican party — also acknowledged that “strangely” there is a “political risk” or potential “political tax” to her candidly sharing her egg-freezing journey. “People don’t go down those rabbit holes and fixate on them for men in terms of their decision the way they do for women,” she added. “And I’m not here to, like, talk about what’s fair or unfair in this context — this is just the world that we live in today, and so I’m aware that just by me choosing to not keep this private there may be a consequence.” She continued, “But you know what, I'm OK with that. This is a choice that I am making to feel more in control of my life and if people want to make assumptions about my decision, let them make those assumptions – I feel empowered to make this choice. I think it’s a very privileged position that I’ve been able to be able to make. And it’s also a result of, I think, changes in technology that have also made it more financially accessible.” The congresswoman went on to reveal that she took her “first shot this morning" and will have to take multiple injections as part of the egg-freezing process on Sunday, August 9, before her scheduled appearance on an ABC morning show. “I’m going to be delivering an interview on national television and it’s in the morning and I have to take my shot because of the timing of it,” she said. “I’m gonna be taking my shots in the green room before my interview. And I want you all to see that because women can do anything, and I think it’s badass that I’m gonna be, you know, giving myself shots in the green room, get my glam on, roll out talk about international events, domestic policy, elections, pop out, live my life, do my thing.” She continued, “If we want community we have to raise our hand and be community for each other, so that’s what we’re going to do.”

Houthi Drone Attack on Saudi Aramco Sparks Regional Tensions New

Houthi Drone Attack on Saudi Aramco Sparks Regional Tensions

The Iran-backed Houthi terrorist group attacked an Aramco oil refinery in Saudi Arabia and a critical Red Sea port on Sunday, killing at least seven people, officials said. A fire broke out at the Aramco refinery in Jazan early Sunday after it was struck by a Houthi drone, claimed Yahya Saree, a military spokesperson for the terrorist group.It was a response to the latest Saudi retaliatory drone attack in the Houthi-controlled provinces of Hajjah and Saada, Saree claimed. Houthi supporters hold a rally with a banner in Arabic reads, “All Saudi oil facilities are targets to our missiles and drones.” AP Photo/Osamah Abdulrahman“The competent authorities are completing the necessary procedures to deal with the incident,” Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy said in a statement, adding that no one was injured.The strike on the Aramco refinery coincided with a Houthi missile and drone attack on the Red Sea port of Mokha, which is controlled by the Saudi-backed Yemen government. The attack killed four troops and three civilians, with 15 others injured in the blasts, according to the National Resistance Forces, a Yemeni government-allied force. The airstrikes also left the crucial port wrecked, with severe damage done to its buildings, pier and cargo held at the facility, said Fayed al-Noman, assistant undersecretary of Yemen’s information ministry. The Houthis have repeatedly attacked the Saudi Arabian oil refinery in Jazan. via REUTERSThe Mokha port serves as one of Yemen’s key ports that was recently renovated and used to avoid the Houthi-held docks in Hodeida. The missile and drone strikes in Mokha were also targeting “Saudi enemy” troops and equipment allegedly stationed near the city, the Houthis claimed. The repeated attacks between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed Yemen government threaten to reignite the country’s bloody civil war that came to an end in 2022.The conflict also threatens to ignite a wider war in the region as the Iran-backed terror group seeks to take control of shipping along the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, threatening more of the world’s oil supply.

Jared Padalecki Faces Backlash for Supporting Perez Hilton Amid Controversy New

Jared Padalecki Faces Backlash for Supporting Perez Hilton Amid Controversy

Jared Padalecki is walking back his public support of Perez Hilton amid his recent hospitalization after receiving criticism online. “I didn’t know. It’s been brought to my attention,” Padalecki, 44, wrote via X on Sunday, August 9. “I’m sorry ❤️.” Hours earlier, the Supernatural alum uploaded a social media message “wishing [Hilton] well” after the celebrity blogger, 48, shared a disturbing livestream in which he engaged in apparent acts of self-harm, prompting authorities to respond to his Miami home. Hilton was admitted to a local hospital on Tuesday, August 4, authorities received multiple 911 calls from fans and family members concerned about the influencer’s wellbeing. He was hospitalized and placed on a 72-hour emergency mental health evaluation as he recovers and seeks treatment — including surgery — for his injuries. Social media users subsequently criticized Padalecki for allegedly supporting Hilton, given the blogger’s past bullying and targeting of various celebrities and their families. Padalecki quietly deleted his message amid the backlash. “To give more detail re: my post wishing someone well. I had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA about his past,” the actor tweeted in a follow-up message shared on Sunday. “I had heard of him. Obviously. I had heard that he hadn’t exactly ‘been kind’ to me in the past. So, my thought is always to give grace and forgiveness to those who may have tried to ‘harm’ you … in my experience, it usually works out better than holding a grudge or wishing punishment on someone else.” He continued, “That having been said, I TRULY didn’t know ANYTHING about the extent to what he has done. That’s my bad. On my life, I have never in my life, not once, looked him up or gone to one of his sites. I simply thought he was a ‘tabloid’ type of sensationalist journalist.” Padalecki further stressed that he doesn’t “stand for” or support any of Hilton’s past actions. “Full stop. I’m sorry if my words caused any harm,” he stated. “And, I hope you ALL are well out there, and taking care of yourselves.” Hilton has not publicly addressed his hospitalization or disturbing social media video, with his family offering multiple updates on his condition in the interim. “We want to confirm that Perez remains hospitalized under Florida’s Baker Act,” a statement shared Saturday, August 8, via Hilton’s website read. “His communication has been extremely limited and confined to immediate family, medical providers,and others directly involved in his care.” Hilton’s relatives noted that his condition is “serious but stable,” noting that the influencer sustained “significant blood loss” during his livestream. “He experienced significant blood loss and sustained additional injuries that will require surgery in the coming days,” the statement continued. “His treatment and recovery will be a long process. We are grateful that Perez was able to spend time with his mother and sister yesterday. As our family remains focused on Perez’s treatment and recovery, we also need the space and privacy to care for everyone affected by this situation.” If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.

Tallulah Willis' Whimsical Wedding Dress Steals the Show in Idaho New

Tallulah Willis' Whimsical Wedding Dress Steals the Show in Idaho

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah Willis is officially a married woman. Tallulah, 32, and her fiancé, Justin Acee, said “I do” during an intimate wedding ceremony held in Sun Valley, Idaho, on Saturday, August 8, according to Vogue. Tallulah, who got engaged to Acee in December 2024, donned a bespoke Balenciaga bridal gown designed by Pierpaolo Piccioli on her special day. “The best part of the dress is the magnitude. It’s the thing that’s getting me to my new husband,” Tallulah told Vogue during her dress fitting. “[Justin and I] made a decision at the very beginning of our relationship that we were going to choose each other every day. My biggest hope [for the dress] was that [it would be] something magical, but magical in a way that was unexpected, kind of like me.” She continued, “I’ve worked very hard to be comfortable in my own skin, to be in something that there’s a strength in is profound for me. I’ve worked so hard in my life to be able to find that beauty every day. This is definitely a very special peak celebration moment of beauty.” To find the perfect dress for the big day, Tallulah entrusted her mom’s longtime stylist, Brad Goreski. “Being able to put together things that I like, and working together with Brad too on that, and walking in the room and seeing all of these things come to life, and then also knowing it was for me, was such a beautiful moment,” Tallulah recalled of the design process. “I’ll never forget that.” As for Goreski, 48, the fashion maven told the outlet that Tallulah wanted a “whimsical and ethereal” gown. Piccioli’s atelier subsequently crafted a strapless, silk column dress with a draped train and a bow adorning the back of the skirt. “[The bow] was something that Pierpaolo wanted,” Tallulah said. “He wanted it to be like a package that was being unwrapped.” In addition, the dress featured a strapless bodice that paid homage to the black Balenciaga frock that Moore, 63, wore to the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscar party. “It was [a] beautiful, black, super simple sheath, but it had that really sculptural Balenciaga [neckline],” Tallulah recalled of her mom’s ensemble from the March red carpet. “When I first tried on the original iteration [of my wedding dress], it was flat across [the neckline], and I just thought, wouldn’t it be so beautiful to have no necklace and nothing up here, but just the shape.” Exes Moore and Bruce, who is currently battling frontotemporal dementia, also share daughters Rumer and Scout. The Die Hard actor also is the father of two younger daughters with his wife, Emma Heming Willis.

Long Island Stripper Sues Doctor After Affair Revealed to Wife New

Long Island Stripper Sues Doctor After Affair Revealed to Wife

A Long Island stripper is suing a wealthy married doctor, accusing him of promising to leave his wife for her — just to seek a restraining order when she told his spouse about their alleged affair.Rosnana Kissoon, 39, accused 51-year-old Dr. Keith Hoerning of trying to get her arrested after their 18-month affair fell apart earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed in Suffolk County Supreme Court.Kissoon is seeking damages that could exceed $1 million — which Hoerning, a family physician and father of two, dismissed as a callous extortion plot that followed threats to harm his family.Rosana Kissoon, 39, a Long Island stripper, filed a lawsuit against a wealthy married doctor. Rosana Kissoon / Facebook“This is an issue that I have run across several times. A man makes an error and is blackmailed. This stripper is different because she had the audacity to file a lawsuit, pushing the blackmail to another level,” his attorney, Bruce Barket, told the Daily Mail.Kissoon accused the doctor, who lives in a $900,000 home in Greenlawn, Suffolk County, of instigating the affair and promising to start a new life with her, before bringing the force of the law down on her after she told his 34-year-old wife Nicole about it.“It’s not just that she thought she was going to have a better life. She found out she wasn’t going to have that, and then Keith brought the whole legal system and judicial and police force on her,” Kissoon’s attorney, Michael Treanor, told the Daily Mail.“She’s done nothing wrong but have a relationship with Mr. Hoerning,” he said, adding that the legal fallout had cost Kissoon her day job at a healthcare facility, forced her to seek counselling, and left her emotionally devastated.Dr. Keith Hoerning, 51, and his wife, Nicole, 34. Nicole Hoerning / FacebookThe alleged affair began in late 2024 when Dr. Hoerning introduced himself to Kissoon at a Long Island strip club, before bombarding her with calls and text messages, according to the complaint.It allegedly turned intimate in February 2025, and by late October, the pair were allegedly seeing each other multiple times a week and communicating every day, according to the filings.In messages, Hoerning allegedly told Kissoon, “I love you,” “I will give you what you want,” and “I will find a way,” while also sending her money, according to the complaint.Kissoon, 39, claims in a lawsuit filed in Suffolk County Supreme Court that Dr. Hoerning, 51, began pursuing her romantically after the pair met at a Long Island gentlemen’s club in late 2024. Rosana Kissoon / Facebook“He had made promises to her that he was leaving her, and that they would have a happy life together,” Treanor said.But on May 15, 2026, Kissoon was allegedly sent a cease-and-desist letter by Hoerning’s lawyer, demanding she stop contacting him and his family, and threatening her with federal criminal prosecution if she didn’t destroy evidence of their relationship.Despite that, on May 17, Hoerning allegedly resumed contact with Kissoon, sending her a personal family photograph over WhatsApp, the complaint alleges.Kissoon accused the doctor, who lives in a $900,000 home in Greenlawn, Suffolk County, of instigating the affair and promising to start a new life with her. Dr. Keith Hoerning / LinkedInOn May 24, he allegedly messaged her again, writing “So hot! See u soon,” and “Miss u already,” according to the complaint.Two days later, Kissoon called Hoerning’s wife to tell her about the alleged affair.The following evening, Hoerning allegedly went to a Suffolk County police precinct, demanding to have Kissoon arrested.The doctor claimed that Kissoon threatened to hire “goons” to “beat” him and his family and even “rip [his] wife’s … face off,” according to a sworn petition filed last month.Kissoon is now seeking damages that could exceed $1 million as part of a lawsuit that accuses Hoerning and his wife of mounting a coordinated campaign against her after she exposed the alleged affair.The Hoernings’ attorney claimed the lawsuit is “filled with lies,” and said the couple has text messages and voice recordings to prove that this was an extortion plot.

Kendra Wilkinson's Inspiring Response to Body-Shaming Amid Weight Loss Journey New

Kendra Wilkinson's Inspiring Response to Body-Shaming Amid Weight Loss Journey

Kendra Wilkinson is proud of her body changes — no matter what the haters have to say. “Sexy is the last thing I want to be nowadays.  I aim for health, happiness, success and god's light. Peace is everything to me,” Wilkinson, 41, wrote via Instagram on Friday, August 7. “Sometimes I feel the negativity in the world but then I remember how amazing I am and get right back to it.” She continued, “It’s not easy being a ‘public figure’ while figuring out life and its ups and downs but god gave me this platform for whatever reason. LOL. �� I see people poking at me for my body and my aging and it’s OK.” The former Playboy star stated that she is “at peace” with her physique regardless of online criticism. “None of that stuff bothers me. I am happy being me and alive and watching my kids grow,” Wilkinson said, referring to son Hank, 16, and daughter Alijah, 12, who she shares with ex-husband Hank Baskett. “If people want to be negative, that’s their energy not mine. I’m OK not being Playboy-skinny anymore or bleached blonde 21-year-old. That was a time of my life but now I’m older and have lived a life.” Wilkinson concluded, “I forgive myself for all the things and can breathe in life a different way now. Life is good and I am so blessed and grateful!!” https://www.instagram.com/p/Dbvxmy4PlUB/ Wilkinson recently received a slew of body-shaming comments after revealing that she visited the gym for the first time in nearly two years. “I share my journey with those who see the positive and are more on the supportive and understanding side,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, August 5. “Maybe I just make my page only homes [I sell as a realtor] to literally stop all the hate. Create just a boring page???” Wilkinson revealed earlier this year that she was kickstarting a weight loss journey and has since dropped four dress sizes with the help of GLP-1 medications. “There’s nothing worse than being in a gym every single day, working out and not seeing any progress,” the model exclusively told Us in March. “I hit 40. I’m happy. I’m at peace, but I noticed that my jeans are a little tighter lately, so I don’t want to go out and shop anymore. Mama is on a budget, so I have to fit back in my jeans.” At the time, Wilkinson wanted to “ease [her] way into” using GLP-1 injections. “I just want to be balanced out,” she added. “I don’t really want to be skinny, but I just want to be balanced and fit in my jeans again.”

Parents Under Fire for Leaving Son at Airport Over Expired Passport New

Parents Under Fire for Leaving Son at Airport Over Expired Passport

As mom and dad prepped for takeoff, their kid was left as a castoff. An unnamed mother and father allegedly abandoned a 10-year-old boy at an unidentified airport in Spain after realizing they didn’t pack all of the tot’s necessary travel documents. Unwilling to miss their flight, the jet-setters boarded the airbus, leaving their son in the airport terminal, where a family member would eventually — hopefully — retrieve him. A whistleblower on social media blasted parents for allegedly leaving their 10-year-old son in the airport while they caught a flight. Michael – stock.adobe.com“[The kid] told [police] that his parents were on the plane, on their way to their home country for vacation,” said Lilian, a purported air-operations coordinator at the airport where the incident occurred. She detailed the chaos to over 320,000 TikTok viewers. Her claims, however, have not yet been verified. “The explanation given to [the authorities] was that the child was traveling with an expired passport from Spain, and needed a travel visa,” said Lilian, speaking Spanish in the clip. “Since he didn’t have a visa, they left the kid in the terminal and called a relative to pick him up.”“I didn’t see it as normal,” she noted. “The police didn’t see it as normal either.” Lilian, who claims to be an airport staffer, labeled the boy’s abandonment one of the most “surreal” experiences she’s had while on the job. TikTok.Sure, most airlines allow children to fly alone — but leaving an unaccompanied minor alone in the airport just doesn’t fly with most people worldwide. But, accidents do happen. A couple in Germany forgot their 5-year-old daughter at Berlin’s Stuttgart Airport back in 2018, claiming they’d each thought the other parent had taken charge of the girl. More recently, a 2-year-old wandered off from his mom and was swept away on a luggage conveyor belt at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport in late May. Lilian claims the boy’s parents did not have the proper travel documents for him, but didn’t want to miss the flight to their home country for vacation. New Africa – stock.adobe.comBut Lilian, a mother of a now-adult daughter, says the abandonment of the 10-year-old boy was the most “surreal” situation she’s ever experienced as an airport employee. “Hallucinating?” she questioned of the kid’s folks. “I’m an air traffic controller, and as a controller, I’ve seen a lot of things, but this has been completely surreal,” Lilian groaned. “I’m amazed to think how parents could possibly leave their 10-year-old son at the terminal because he can’t travel due to documentation issues.”She continued giving the unidentified dopes a harsh tongue lashing for putting their son’s safety at risk. “They call a relative, who might take half an hour, an hour or three hours, and they calmly board the flight and leave the child behind,” she spat. “As a mother, I’d freak out.”Lilian reported that airport cops ultimately removed the parents’ luggage from the flight and brought the pair to the on-site police station for questioning. It’s unclear whether the boy’s parents were arrested.

Why 'One Night Only' Director Cut Excessive Nudity from the Film New

Why 'One Night Only' Director Cut Excessive Nudity from the Film

It turns out Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro’s new romantic comedy, One Night Only, was pared way down — and for good reason. “I went through this on two movies. I have long pages of empirical data about it. … I believe it’s been a societal shift from taking nudity in adult situations and putting them on your phones at home for everybody,” director Will Gluck told Variety on Friday, August 7, of various sex scenes in big-budget flicks. “It’s more of a private, intimate thing that people don’t want to see when they’re in a shared experience. Whenever people now see nudity or very adult situations in a big theater, they get uncomfortable.” To accommodate the viewing trends, Gluck, 47, “cut out so much” while editing One Night Only. “There was so much nudity in this movie that we shot on the streets. I felt we needed to show the world that way,” he explained to the outlet of the original script. “As we started to show it to audiences, we felt it takes you out of the movie.” The Easy A filmmaker added, “You’re engaged in the characters and what’s going on, and then you pan over and there’s two naked people having sex, and you watch the audience … it’s a physical thing. They turn to who they’re with and  the benefits do not nearly outweigh the negatives of it. We just kept editing it out until we got a balance, and those comments went away.” One Night Only takes place on the annual evening where premarital sex is legal, making it possible for Allie (Barbaro) to meet Owen (Turner) as they dodge the commotion of singletons hooking up across New York City. In the background of Allie and Owen’s meet-cute, the pair encounter an array of couples celebrating their so-called night of freedom. “We cast real-life couples in various stages of relationships,” Gluck told Variety of the movie extras. “It was never like we met an extra and were like, ‘You guys are kissing.’ It was fun because there were married couples, people who broke up during the movie and people who became couples, so they could do that.” Even ahead of One Night Only’s release, the concept went viral for its comparisons to The Purge — but with sex instead of crime. (For the uninitiated, the dystopian Purge franchise takes place during a 12-hour period where all criminal activity is legal.) “You can’t really describe this movie. [The cast] goes on talk shows and spends 80 percent of the time explaining the rules of the world, and that’s not what the movie is about,” Gluck quipped of One Night Only’s premise. “We have to just let people see it. That’s the best tool we have, especially for something that’s this crazy.” He continued, “These characters are living [in] this little alternative world that could easily happen … but I really wanted the world to live in the background. I didn’t want the movie to be about that. It’s more about how our characters navigate life.” One Night Only is in theaters now.
