Kelsey Grammer still feels 'sense of smallness' for not serving in military: 'I do my best to make up for it'

Wed, 11/11/2026 - 22:00

Kelsey Grammer feels he missed an opportunity to give back to his country by not serving in the military when he was younger.

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 71-year-old actor discussed his latest project, "America the Beautiful," a 40-minute giant screen documentary, and why he always does his best to "show up for the military" when he is able to.

"I will always have an annoying sort of sense of smallness that I didn't serve, but I do my best to make up for it," he said.

He explained that, despite feeling that way, he is unsure if he would have made a different decision if given the opportunity to do his life over again, noting, "It was a really interesting time."

When he was a young man, he said, the Vietnam War was "sort of in full flair," and he had signed up for the draft and was ready to go fight had his number been drawn, but "President Nixon pulled us out just before I would have gone down to get my number."

"So, I was thankful for not having to go, make that decision, but I would've gone. If my number had been up, I woulda gone. But I was, I was thankful not to," he said. 

"I used to work in San Diego. It was one of my first jobs at the Shakespeare Festival there, and I would go over to the Point Loma Military Graveyard and have a lunch sometimes. And I'd sit next to this cross that I'd found of a young man who was really only eight months older than I was who had died in Vietnam. And it just broke my heart."

As a father, Grammer says he speaks to his children about the many sacrifices people have made to ensure the safety of America, adding he "will always try and instruct them with the idea that service to your country is a good idea."

KELSEY GRAMMER WARNS OF CHILLING DANGER FACING AMERICANS WHO FORGET NATION'S FOUNDING HISTORY

WATCH: Kelsey Grammer’s grandfather was an ‘inspiration’ to him

He says that together they discuss the Revolutionary War and all the great battles throughout history, noting he would encourage them to serve their country if they wanted to, but "their mom would get mad at me." 

He noted, however, that this is something "people have been doing" for many years.

"There's a lot of wonderful patriotic people in our country today whose children and whose husbands and wives are serving, and my hat is off to them all. And we salute them. I mean, with this particular thing, the 11 hour, the 11 day, 11th month, Armistice Day originally, now Veterans Day at the end of the first World War. Remarkable. The number of people who died in that war," he said. 

"So, certainly the hope was that it would never happen again and, sure enough, a generation later, we were fighting World War II. Amazing. And we go on. We continue. Hopefully it'll end one day."

Grammer feels a strong connection to Veterans Day since his grandfather served as a colonel in the Army Corps of Engineers during World War II. When speaking about his grandfather, the "Frasier" star said he "was always an inspiration to me."

"I looked up to him like a kid would," he said. "I mean, he raised me, but his bravery and his courage and his commitment to the country, these were active, living, breathing things that he was … he embodied that. And, so, it's always been my hope to kind of pass that along a little bit. At least a remembrance of him, respect for what he was able to do in the face of extraordinary hardship."

CARRIE UNDERWOOD, GARY SINISE LEAD STARS WHO'VE SHARED WHY THEY'RE PROUD TO BE AMERICANS

One way in which Grammer is honoring his grandfather — and all the other men and women who have served the country — is through his new film, "America the Beautiful," which hits screens Nov. 11.

The film was created in honor of America's 250th birthday and celebrates the beauty of the country and the love of the land Americans share for it.

"That was the original idea of the movie, why they made it, and they invited me to join in. I think it's absolutely apropos. I mean, without the sacrifices that have been made by our military men and women, then we might not actually have this treasure of national beauty that we do have," he said. 

"The Americans that have gotten to know our national forests and our national parks. They are inspired by them every day and blessed by the fact that they're still here. And I think that speaks in large part of the sacrifices that people make abroad and at home to secure our future and to defend our country."

Through making the film, he was able to understand President Theodore Roosevelt's philosophy that "we have to preserve our physical life as well as our creative and our ideological life." 

He learned how Roosevelt was allotted "time to seek solace in nature" and gather inspiration and comfort from it, leading him to create the national park system, believing "everybody should be able to have" the same "personal relationship with the wilderness" as he found.

Grammer's hope for the film is that audiences are able to understand the "overwhelming beauty we have been given" in this country, calling it "powerful" and saying "it defines us."

Of all the places he visited, he called the Badlands his favorite, saying, "I felt like I was in a holy place" while he was there, saying it felt like being "in God's land."

"It was just an amazing day we spent there and, of course, then we went and saw Mount Rushmore. We also saw on the way there … a mountain called a Crazy Horse, which is like four times bigger than Mount Rushmore," he said.

"It's an amazing thing that a private family's been working on it for 60 years, maybe longer, where it's just Crazy Horse seated on his steed, and he says, with his finger pointing outwards, sort of like this, he says, ‘My lands are where my dead lie buried.’

"And that's powerful stuff, but I think that is an American saying. That is an American occurrence. It's these two cultures clashed, and then he became a new culture together, but it's all based on that land, this extraordinary land that we have.

"And, yeah, it's a rainbow. It's a cornucopia of life and teaming, teaming life, renewal, power, all these things that actually really are America. They live here, and I'm proud to have done the movie."

Antonio Sabato Jr and Virginia Madsen's son arrested in fatal hit-and-run

Wed, 11/11/2026 - 18:41

Antonio Sabato Jr. and Virginia Madsen’s son, Jack Sabato, has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Anchorage, Alaska, Fox News Digital has confirmed.

According to the Anchorage Police Department, Sabato, 32, was arrested Nov. 9 on charges of leaving the scene of an accident without assisting the injured and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in injury or death.

Police identified the victim as Carl Simmonds, 42, who was pronounced dead after officers and medics responded to reports of an unresponsive man near Airport Heights Drive and Debarr Road around 5:48 a.m. A preliminary investigation indicated a vehicle struck Simmonds and fled the scene, police said.

According to court records obtained by Fox News Digital, Jack has been hit with a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident without helping the victim, as well as a misdemeanor charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving injury or death.

Charging documents reviewed by Alaska Public Media reported that responding officers found Simmonds' body on the sidewalk off Airport Heights Drive and several car parts scattered around.

While reviewing security footage from a nearby bank, officers saw a white Chevy Tahoe striking Simmonds and not braking before or after the crash, according to the outlet.

After running the vehicle’s description into the Alaska Public Safety Information Network, law enforcement found the matching vehicle — which is registered to Jack — parked at the Anchorage Amazon warehouse. The vehicle was then seized.

According to the charging documents, Jack told police he struck "something" while driving home after delivering for DoorDash, damaging his headlights. He said he believed he hit an animal and didn’t stop because he was driving without insurance. He also said he ran a red light because he felt unsafe driving without headlights.

He said he planned to report the crash after work but contacted police after his girlfriend told him his SUV had been seized, saying he "knew the worst," according to the documents.

Representatives for Madsen and Sabato Jr. did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Country star Craig Morgan says he's 'willing to die' for America after returning to military service

Wed, 11/11/2026 - 18:00

Country singer Craig Morgan, a U.S. Army Reserve warrant officer, says he is willing to die for his country to preserve America's freedoms.

"I am willing to go wherever they send me and do whatever it takes to ensure that we maintain the freedoms," Morgan, who reenlisted in the Army in 2023 after previously serving for nearly two decades, told Fox News Digital. "And not for me, but for my family, for my friends, for my friend's kids, and for the kids that I don't even know."

He said he thinks every American service member feels the same way he does.

AARON TIPPIN SAYS PATRIOTISM IS 'VERY STRONG IN AMERICA' AHEAD OF FORT CAMPBELL 4TH OF JULY SHOW

"Listen, like the [Toby Keith] song ‘American Soldier’ says, ‘I don't want to die, but if dying is asked of me, I will.’ And I believe that more people, even those that don't serve, feel that way."

The "Redneck Yacht Club" singer, who lives in Tennessee, said, "That's what we celebrate."

LEE GREENWOOD SAYS HE'S 'VERY PROUD' TO STAND NEXT TO TRUMP DURING AMERICA'S 250TH CELEBRATION

"But absolutely, I am willing to die for my country and to die for the freedoms that I get to celebrate. I want my grandchildren and their children and their grandchildren to celebrate those same freedoms."

Morgan released a new 11-song album, "My Country," on Nov. 6, which features a cover of "American Soldier."

"We're celebrating our 250th," he said. "I just felt like it was most appropriate as we celebrate that as a nation that I'm able to do it in my genre, in my format, in my occupation."

He said he feels like he’s always celebrating America, "but we took it, I feel like we took it a step further with this actual project, a physical project, celebrating our nation, hence the name ‘My Country,’ but for me, it had a dual implication."

COUNTRY STAR CHRIS JANSON SAYS RESPECTING THE FLAG IS THE NUMBER ONE LESSON HE WANTS HIS KIDS TO LEARN

At the risk of sounding biased, Morgan said he thinks country music "celebrates the love and passion for our freedom and for our nation much more than the other genres."

"We don't shy away or steer away from our belief in God, family, and country," he added, "and this project really kind of hits at both of those, both of my worlds, my military world and my music world."

The 62-year-old is especially proud of the original track "Long May You Wave," which he called "extremely personal" and emotional.

"Having served in the military for over 20 years now, that flag represents something that I think — there was a time in our nation that it had been taken for granted. I do believe that we're back in a place where we respect that flag, we respect what it stands for. And I'm not saying that we didn't, but I think generally we lost sight of what it is that flag represented and the many, many men and women who have sacrificed in order to ensure that that representation is not tarnished."

The song is about middle-class America — "the people that really built this country and the people whose backs we stand on," he said.

The cover of "American Soldier" is in honor of Keith "and in honor of what he stood for," he explained.

"For me, that song again is extremely personal," he said. "I am an American soldier and I love my country and I love what this song says about us."

Morgan said service members don’t "stand out there and wave our flag, so to speak, but this song is a testament to, in my opinion, the moral fiber that makes up those people who serve our nation. And I'm grateful to have the honor to be able to record that song."

He added that country music offers listeners a "sense of reality, a sense of truth. Also, all of this wrapped up in humility, grace, and gratitude."

"The general populace of the country music format, including the artists, come from a place of humble beginnings, come from a place of Middle America," he said. "We talk about, sing about, and represent, and live the lifestyle of the people that build America, as I alluded to earlier. And I still live that lifestyle. A lot of people don't believe it. I mean, you know, I don't always cut my own grass, but I do sometimes, but I still take off my own garbage when I'm home."

Speaking about his own family, Morgan said he hopes his grandchildren "inherit the attitude towards our nation that my grandfather had and that I feel like I have."

"One thing that I see now that I did not see four years ago is a sense of pride in our nation, a sense of pride in their jobs," he said.

He said he doesn’t preach his politics, "but here's what I tell every one of them: If we are not a safe nation, all of the other stuff that you celebrate will not matter. It's that simple."

Morgan also held a Veterans Day 5K in Nashville on Veterans Day this year to bring attention to the charities he supports and raise money for them and to celebrate veterans.

Equally important to Morgan is his faith.

Morgan said he’s faced pushback in the entertainment industry over it, "but when it comes to my faith in my God, I do not care. I can't. I focus solely on my relationship with my God through my church and allow that to dictate. Whatever happens outside of that is on them, not me."

He’s fine with people disagreeing with him, and he doesn’t want to convert everyone, "because that's God's job. I just live my life in accordance with the word as best I can, focus on my relationship with him and hope that I'm doing the things that he would have me do so that people can come to know him through me."

Katy Perry's comment that ex 'should be in jail' resurfaces after Russell Brand's prison sentencing

Wed, 11/11/2026 - 15:00

Russell Brand's romantic past is drawing renewed attention following his prison sentencing, including ex-wife Katy Perry's description of his behavior during their marriage as "very controlling."

Years before the comedian was convicted of rape and sexual assault, Perry said Brand struggled with her role as "the boss" of her own career and shared how their whirlwind marriage ended with a text message in which he announced he wanted a divorce.

Now, her past comments are resurfacing alongside renewed interest in Brand’s relationship history, from his brief romance with Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell to his marriage to his current wife Laura Brand, who testified in his defense.

RUSSELL BRAND SENTENCED AFTER RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT CONVICTIONS IN UK

Here's a look back at Brand's most notable relationships.

Brand described a brief romantic encounter with Kate Moss in his memoir, "Booky Wook 2: This Time It's Personal," writing that their connection elevated his celebrity status.

"I could never have anticipated the instant elevation that this liaison would afford me, it was like being awarded a celebrity Victoria Cross," he wrote, according to the New York Post.

The comedian, who met Moss through a mutual friend, expressed his admiration for the model in the book.

"Kate Moss is the prettiest girl in all our schools," he wrote. "Behold our queen, but don’t look at her directly or all else you gaze upon till death brings down your lids will be as shadows compared to her beauty."

In the book, Brand wrote that he became smitten, but their connection faded after he publicly downplayed the encounter to journalists.

Brand and Australian actress Teresa Palmer briefly dated after meeting while filming "Bedtime Stories" in 2008. By July of that year, both were publicly discussing their relationship, with Brand suggesting he was ready to leave his womanizing reputation behind.

"I’m a changed man," he said at the time, according to Cosmopolitan. "I’ve met someone very beautiful and I’ve settled down."

Palmer expressed similar enthusiasm about their budding romance.

"We’ve only been together for a month, but it’s going brilliantly," she said, according to the outlet.

The pair attended the O2 Silver Clef Awards together in London on July 4, 2008, but their relationship was short-lived. By the fall of 2008, the couple had separated.

KATY PERRY SNUBS FAMOUS EXES BEFORE SWEET NOD TO JUSTIN TRUDEAU IN CHEEKY ONSTAGE MOMENT

Brand and Katy Perry, who met on the set of "Get Him to the Greek" in 2009, announced their engagement in January 2010 before marrying in India on Oct. 23 of that year. Their marriage lasted approximately 14 months before Brand filed for divorce in December 2011.

Perry later discussed their relationship in a 2013 Vogue interview, describing behavior she considered "controlling."

KATY PERRY FIGHTS BACK AGAINST RUBY ROSE'S 'CATEGORICALLY FALSE' SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS

"He didn’t like the atmosphere of me being the boss on tour. So that was really hurtful, and it was very controlling, which was upsetting," she said. "I felt a lot of responsibility for it ending, but then I found out the real truth, which I can’t necessarily disclose because I keep it locked in my safe for a rainy day. I let go, and I was like: This isn’t because of me, this is beyond me. So I have moved on from that."

During the interview, Perry said Brand informed her of his divorce plans by text message. The moment she received the message was captured on camera and featured in the pop star's 2012 documentary "Katy Perry: Part of Me."

Following Brand's sentencing, another video showing an interaction between Brand and Perry gained traction online.

During an interview at the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar party, Brand appeared to criticize Perry for swearing on camera and displayed a badge bearing the word "Obey."

"He didn’t like her getting more attention than him," one social media user wrote on X.

Months before his conviction, Perry made a pointed remark about an ex during a concert in July at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England.

While playing an interactive game that asked audience members to act out their reaction to seeing an ex, Perry said, "I hope my ex isn’t here. He should be in jail," according to The Mirror.

Perry did not specifically name Brand.

Brand began dating Isabella Brewster, a former talent agent, following his split from Perry. The pair reportedly met at a yoga class.

He confirmed their romance during a July 18, 2012, appearance on Howard Stern's radio show, just days after his divorce became final.

"Some things in the newspaper aren’t true … that’s true, actually," Brand said when asked about Brewster, according to E! News.

Their relationship appeared to move quickly. According to Cosmopolitan, the pair were reportedly considering renting a home together in Los Angeles.

By late August, however, the romance had ended.

"Isabella and [Russell] broke it off," a source told Us Weekly at the time. "He has been in London since the Olympics and is traveling for standup."

Following his split from Brewster, Brand was briefly linked to Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell. The pair reportedly grew close during preparations for the 2012 London Olympics' closing ceremony, at which both performed.

They were photographed holding hands during a visit to Hampton Court Palace with Halliwell’s daughter, Bluebell, and were also reportedly spotted enjoying a picnic on Hampstead Heath.

Despite the attention surrounding their budding romance, the relationship reportedly ended within weeks.

"He isn’t ready to settle down so soon after coming out of marriage," a source told The Mirror.

Brand began dating producer and journalist Jemima Goldsmith in 2013. Their relationship lasted approximately a year, during which the comedian publicly expressed his love for her and said their connection felt different from his previous romances.

"I really love her. I’m very, very happy in a relationship that feels very different from anything I’ve experienced before," Brand reportedly said during a 2014 appearance on "The Jonathan Ross Show."

Their breakup was reported in September 2014.

GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE

In November 2026, Goldsmith spoke publicly about her relationship with Brand, offering a different account of her experience with him.

In a statement posted on X following his sentencing, she accused him of "violence, coercive control and abuse." She alleged that she had called police to have him removed from her home during a violent incident in 2014.

Goldsmith said she chose not to pursue charges or speak publicly at the time because she feared the impact of media attention on her teenage children.

"I have neither seen nor spoken to Brand since that period in 2014," she wrote. 

Brand’s relationship with his current wife, Laura Gallacher Brand, began years before his marriage to Perry.

Gallacher, an author and illustrator whose sister is British broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher, first became involved with Brand in 2006. She was 19 and he was 31. Their initial relationship ended the following year amid his reported difficulty with monogamy.

"When I met him, I was aware that he liked women, and I was aware toward the latter half of that year that he was engaging with other women," Laura told the court during Brand's trial, according to Sky News. "I was not interested in having a relationship with him if he was sleeping with other people. I was invested; we both had told each other we loved each other, but it was clear it was difficult for him to be monogamous."

After Brand’s marriage to Perry ended, he and Laura reconnected in 2015.

The couple welcomed daughter Mabel in November 2016 before marrying on Aug. 26, 2017, in a ceremony near Henley-on-Thames, England. Their family later grew with the birth of their daughter Peggy in July 2018 and a son in 2023.

Laura publicly defended her husband during his 2026 rape and sexual assault trial.

Laura described Brand as "caring and kind, a wonderful father to our children and an amazing, attentive husband," adding that he has an "eye for detail I have never known before."

"I feel very seen by him," she said. "We have a very honest, frank and clear relationship and marriage … Our relationship has always been [about] honesty. I love him very much."

Stacy Keach dead at 85 as ‘Mike Hammer’ star’s wife shares emotional tribute

Wed, 11/11/2026 - 05:05

Stacy Keach, the legendary actor whose unmistakable voice and powerful performances captivated generations of Americans, is being remembered by his beloved wife as a devoted husband, loving father and courageous fighter after his death at 85.

Keach, best known for portraying the hard-boiled private detective Mike Hammer and for his celebrated work on stage and screen, died Tuesday, Nov. 10, at his family home in Magdalenka, Poland.

His wife, Małgosia Tomassi Keach, shared an emotional statement announcing his passing following a lengthy battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure.

PATRICK STEWART, LEGENDARY 'STAR TREK' AND 'X-MEN' ACTOR, DIES AT 86

"It is with profound sadness and a broken heart that I announce the passing of my darling husband, Stacy Keach," she said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

"After a long and difficult battle with a serious heart condition and heart failure, Stacy peacefully departed this world. He fought for so long, with extraordinary courage, determination and strength."

She remembered her husband as a man whose remarkable resilience extended far beyond the characters he brought to life on-screen.

"He was a true warrior, facing his illness with the same remarkable spirit and resilience that defined his life," she continued.

'TOP GUN' STAR TOM SKERRITT DEAD AT 93

"Stacy was not only a legendary actor, admired and loved by audiences the world over, but also my beloved husband, my companion and the heart of our family."

For millions of television viewers, Keach will forever be remembered as Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer, the tough-talking private investigator he portrayed with grit, charisma and an unmistakable screen presence.

EVA MARIE SAINT, OSCAR-WINNING ‘ON THE WATERFRONT’ AND ‘NORTH BY NORTHWEST’ STAR, DEAD AT 102

But his extraordinary career stretched far beyond the detective series. A gifted Shakespearean actor, Keach tackled some of theater's most demanding roles, including Hamlet, Richard III and King Lear. He also earned a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Ernest Hemingway.

His television appearances included "Blue Bloods," "Titus" and "Prison Break," while his film credits ranged from "The Long Riders" to "Nebraska" and "The Bourne Legacy."

Keach also appeared in the Biblical miniseries "Jesus of Nazareth," portraying the criminal Barabbas.

In 2017, Keach suffered a heart attack while performing in a one-man production about Ernest Hemingway at Chicago's Goodman Theatre, an ordeal that forced the cancellation of the show's run.

Throughout a career spanning more than six decades, Keach earned admiration not only for his versatility but also for the unmistakable voice and commanding presence that made him one of Hollywood's most recognizable performers.

Yet for those closest to him, his greatest legacy was the love he shared with his family.

"His passing leaves an immeasurable emptiness in our lives," his wife said. "But his extraordinary spirit, his unforgettable voice and the love he gave so generously will remain with us forever."

Keach is survived by his wife, their children, Karolina and Shannon, and their extended family. His family's farewell was signed with profound love and sorrow by Małgosia, Karolina, Shannon, their grandchildren and spouses.

"Happy birthday to this incredible young lady, sharing such a special day with you is a Dads dream," he wrote. "There’s not enough words to explain how proud you make me feel, have a fantastic 25th birthday and I can’t believe I’m bloody 60 wtf."

The celebrity chef has six kids with wife Tana: twins Holly and Jack, daughters Megan and Matilda and sons Oscar and Jesse.

Ramsay previously admitted that Holly's recent wedding spawned a flurry of emotions in ways that most wouldn't expect out of the firebrand chef.

"I was like a sack of f---ing custard walking down that bloody — that line — into that church. 60 meters!" he told Fox News Digital.

"And I was looking at all these flowers overlooking the pews and thinking, ‘S---, this is expensive!' Everyone thought I was crying because I was giving her away. I was more crying with the f---ing cost of the flower bill, and where are they going tomorrow? We're paying all this money for 90 minutes, these flowers."

The unique emotions were fleeting when Ramsay realized the flowers could be repurposed for a good cause.

"We got the flowers donated to the local hospital and that stopped me crying," he said. "And then I handed her over, and I celebrated like no tomorrow, because that daughter was expensive."

Ramsay's restaurants currently hold nine Michelin stars worldwide, and the chef has earned a total of 17 Michelin stars over the course of his career.

His flagship restaurant, Gordon Ramsay in London, has held the maximum three Michelin stars continuously since 2001.

Ramsay's portfolio gained a ninth star earlier this year when Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High in London's Bishopsgate area earned its first Michelin star in the 2026 Michelin Guide.

Kim Kardashian faces furious backlash as shoppers demand refunds over $148 advent calendar

Tue, 11/10/2026 - 21:57

Kim Kardashian’s Skims is offering refunds after shoppers slammed its $148 advent calendar over an assortment of "cheap" hair accessories and keychains.

The 12-day calendar — which included hair ties, scrunchies, clips, bobby pins, key chains and a compact mirror, according to the product description — drew massive criticism from content creators and social media users as unboxing videos began to go viral.

"People buying the skims advent calendar for $150 just to get this has me rolling on the floor," one user wrote on X, alongside a photo of the contents of the calendar.

HAILEY BIEBER STRIPS DOWN FOR KIM KARDASHIAN'S SKIMS IN RED-HOT NEW CAMPAIGN

"A $148 for a bunch of cheap plastic and hair ties. So she makes a $147 profit? Just another scam," another wrote.

"For SKIMS to be a CLOTHING brand and not include a single piece of clothing in the SKIMS advent Christmas calendar is crazy and ridiculous actually," another social media user wrote. "150$ for Bobby pins, scrunchies and tree ornaments WOW."

Others dubbed the company simply as, "Skams."

One person pointed out that the advent calendar was labeled specifically as a box of accessories, writing, "Paying for ‘Accessories’ and getting mad when its just accessories is hilarious as f--- lmaooo."

Another wrote, "On the website they listed all the things that will be in the box, I don’t understand the clout people are trying to chase."

In a statement, Skims acknowledged the complaints, saying it had contacted every purchaser to offer a full refund or credit toward other products.

"We’re aware of the feedback some customers have shared about the Skims Advent Calendar, and we’ve listened carefully," reps for Kardashian and SKIMS said in a statement to Page Six.

The spokesperson said that since "the calendar didn’t meet expectations," the company has "personally contacted every customer who purchased the calendar and offered them a choice of a full refund or a Skims credit to put towards other products."

"We want every customer to be truly happy with what they receive from Skims," the statement continued. "Their feedback matters to us and will directly shape how we approach future releases."

Representatives for Kardashian and Skims did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Since its launch in 2019, Skims has drawn attention for its various, buzz-generating products.

In 2023, Skims released a line of bras with an eye-popping addition – built-in protruding nipples that showed through clothing.

"Not your nipples but no one needs to know," Kardashian's company posted on X at the time.

The description for the bra read, "The perfect fullness, enhanced shape, and authentic augmentation… with a built-in raised nipple detail for a perky, braless look that makes a bold statement. Its padding gives a ‘sexy, natural-looking lift and support.’"

When Kardashian announced the launch of the perky product, she framed the "faux nipple… shock factor" bra as a solution to global warming. No matter how hot it is outside, the bra will make sure it looks like you're cold."

Thomas Markle allegedly cut off ankle monitor after child sexual abuse material arrest

Tue, 11/10/2026 - 21:33

Thomas Markle, the estranged father of Meghan Markle, allegedly cut off his ankle monitor after being released from federal custody.

During an emergency hearing Tuesday, Markle, 82, was remanded back into federal custody. The US Attorney said it's clear "even with medication" Markle remains agitated.

Markle's ankle monitor had been cut off and stabbed in an intentional way to disable it, prosecutors told the judge.

"He allegedly cut the bracelet off at 1:45 a.m. last night. Release conditions are court orders, not suggestions," First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli wrote on X. "We are asking the court to revoke his release and detain him pending trial, and we will continue to prosecute this case to the fullest extent of the law."

Markle had been released on bond from federal custody Friday following his arrest on a charge of possessing child sexual abuse images. He was initially placed under house arrest.

‘Yellowstone’ star Dawn Olivieri chose Arkansas ranch life over LA to reclaim her ‘freedom’

Tue, 11/10/2026 - 17:00

"Yellowstone" alum Dawn Olivieri is opening up about the turning point that drove her to leave Los Angeles behind and build the life that she actually wanted on a ranch and animal sanctuary in rural Arkansas.

During an interview with Fox News Digital, the 45-year-old actress, who is starring in the second season of Angel Studios’ post-apocalyptic drama "Homestead: The Series," shared how she became disillusioned with Hollywood during a lull in her career after years of chasing acting success.

"I realized it wasn't giving me what my dream of what it was supposed to give me," Olivieri said.

'VAMPIRE DIARIES' STAR IAN SOMERHALDER SAYS LEAVING HOLLYWOOD FOR FARMING 'SHIFTED MY LIFE FOREVER'

"It wasn't cooperating," she continued. "I didn't have offers, just like falling out of my phone. I went through a dry spell, and I was like, ‘Wow, so this is an illusion.'"

"I kind of saw through the veil and once I saw through veil — I realized in that moment, I have to make some decisions about my life that makes me happy — [it] isn't always waiting by the phone, losing my power, waiting for someone to hire me," Olivieri recalled. "I'm like, ‘Oh, what am I doing?’"

'HOMESTEAD' STAR BAILEY CHASE SAYS CALIFORNIA VACCINE PLANS WERE 'FINAL STRAW' THAT DROVE FAMILY OUT OF LA

"I just jumped ahead," she explained. "I go, ‘If I did make all this money and was successful, what would I do with it?’ Well, I would move to the country and have horses and OK, well, I guess let me go do that. Let me, let me see what. And so I did that with nothing. Which wasn't the dream part, but in actuality, it was what was always meant to happen because I moved toward my own authenticity."

In 2022, the actress left LA and bought a 160-acre property outside Mena, Arkansas. The following year, Olivieri founded the nonprofit organization Moon Mountain Sanctuary and Rescue, which rescues and rehabilitates hundreds of horses and other animals.

During an August appearance on the "Let's Talk Local" podcast, Olivieri said she is currently living in a camper on the property while she continues to build and expand her ranch and animal sanctuary.

While speaking with Fox News Digital, Olivieri reflected on the unexpected result that came from her decision to leave Hollywood and create the lifestyle she had always envisioned, explaining that giving up control of her acting career ultimately improved it.

HOLLYWOOD STAR SOUNDS ALARM OVER DISAPPEARING JOBS AS PRODUCTIONS FLEE CALIFORNIA

"I think in that moment, I became a better human being," she said. "I became a better actress for sure. I started working way more than I did when I was in LA waiting for the job, waiting for the call."

"And I moved to a land of no mirrors is what I called it," Olivieri continued.. "I went into a deep relationship with the core of my being versus what everything looked like, what I looked like."

"And I would recommend that move to anybody," she added.

Olivieri's "Homestead: The Series" co-star Charles Esten, who joined her for the interview, agreed that letting go of the pressure to land the next role can sometimes have the opposite effect in Hollywood.

"It’s not just Hollywood, it’s the whole world that — but especially Hollywood — can smell that desperation of, ‘I need this to get that,’" Esten said.

WATCH: ‘YELLOWSTONE’ STAR DAWN OLIVIERI TRADED LA FOR ARKANSAS RANCH

"The second you sort of don’t hold so tightly and you have sort of more philosophy of abundance and let it a little looser. Or another way is just give it up," he continued. "I don’t mean give it up by quit doing it, but give up the need and the desperation on it. And then they finally go, ‘Hey, you want to come do a show?’"

"Yeah, literally, that’s what happened," Olivieri replied.

Olivieri pointed out that many other actors faced a dramatic decrease in work opportunities in recent years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike.

'VERONICA MARS' STAR JASON DOHRING TRADED HOLLYWOOD FOR FARMING

"But I had a very clear decision that I was willing to give up this identity of being an actress," she said. "And maybe if I had to sell farm fresh eggs on the side of the road, I would do that just to keep my freedom."

"Homestead: The Series" follows survivors living at a fortified prepper compound in the Rocky Mountains known as The Homestead after a nuclear attack on LA plunges the country into chaos. Olivieri plays Jenna Ross, the wife of Ian Ross (Neal McDonough), the wealthy prepper who established the Homestead, while Esten portrays Cain Ross, Ian's estranged brother.

After Ian is incapacitated and later dies, Jenna is pushed into a leadership role and struggles with how to protect the community while maintaining her compassionate approach toward outsiders. Meanwhile, Cain arrives at the Homestead after Ian's injury and takes a much more hardline approach to survival and leadership.

In season two, which premiered on Nov. 3, Jenna and Cain find themselves in conflict over how the compound should be run as resources dwindle.

Olivieri was part of the cast in the 2024 theatrical movie "Homestead," which introduces the story. Esten joined the cast for the first season of "Homestead: The Series," which picks up where the movie left off. The show also stars Kevin Lawson Emmanuel McCord, Jesse Hutch and Betzaida Landín.

While speaking with Fox News Digital, Olivieri and Esten shared their thoughts on why more Americans are increasingly interested in homesteading, growing their own food and moving away from big cities.

"People are thinking about it because everything else is becoming toxic in all truth," Olivieri said. "Our food system has gone toxic because of profit. Our way of life in a city has become toxic because of overpopulation potentially or, again, I really think the root of it is profit and money and commerce."

"In this state of government, being open and available is just a nicer experience," she added. "It is for me anyway."

Esten drew a contrast between Olivieri's homesteading and the gritty survivalism depicted on "Homestead: The Series."

"Dawn's homesteading that I've noticed is beautiful," he said. "Our version of homestead is very extraordinary necessity, fear-based. Plant these fences and Dawn's is the opposite of that. Dawn's very open and welcoming and saving animals that need it and welcoming other folks on."

After Olivieri embraced rural life and stopped waiting for Hollywood to call, the actress went on to land major roles in Taylor Sheridan's universe. Olivieri played Claire Dutton, the widowed sister of James Dutton (Tim McGraw), in 2021's "1883."

From 2022 to 2024, Olivieri portrayed Sarah Atwood, the corporate strategist brought in by Market Equities who becomes involved with Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), in "Yellowstone." She has a recurring role as CIA officer Amber Whalen on "Lioness" and most recently made a guest appearance in "The Madison."

While speaking with Fox News Digital, Olivieri weighed in on what she believes sets the prolific creator apart from others in Hollywood.

"He doesn't ask for permission to do anything," she said. "He listens to his North, his guide, and he writes textured, powerful human beings, especially women, which I find is very, very rare."

"He writes them like it's coming from inside of himself," Olivieri continued. "I've talked to him about this because he will write things for a strong woman that makes you read it on the page and then look around, like, ‘Is someone watching me? How are you in my head?’"

Olivieri recalled asking Sheridan how he was able to write female characters with such insight.

"I went to him and I said, ‘How do you know how to do that?’ And he told me point blank, he said his mom was a strong woman," she remembered. "So he had a very, very, very close example of how strong women move and what they do and how they think and the way that they talk."

"He writes things poetically," she continued. "He has texture. There's magic in the way that he writes and it's just undeniable. And he agrees he's tapped. He'll sit and wait for the muse and the muse will share the story with him. And that's how he writes."

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

"It's no different than all of the great writers in the sense that they are very clear that it's not quite them," Olivieri added. "They are a conduit for some energy that flows through them. And he has told me that that's exactly what happens for him."

The second season of "Homestead: The Series" is currently streaming on Angel with new episodes released weekly on Tuesdays.

Sarah Ferguson in touch with ex-Prince Andrew as expert warns royal downfall 'has further to go' after arrest

Tue, 11/10/2026 - 13:00

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may have lost his royal titles, but the scandal surrounding his ties to Jeffrey Epstein continues to follow him — and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson.

People magazine reported that while it's unclear whether the former Duchess of York has seen her ex-husband recently, the two remain in contact.

"They have an ongoing cordial and supportive relationship as co-parents and co-grandparents," a spokesperson for Ferguson told People.

FORMER PRINCE ANDREW, SARAH FERGUSON DUBBED ROYAL FAMILY’S ‘BONNIE AND CLYDE’ AS EPSTEIN FALLOUT GROWS: AUTHOR

Fox News Digital reached out to Ferguson's spokesperson for comment.

"It is not surprising," royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital. "If Andrew came to court, she might well be called as a witness. Much depends on whether the police in Britain can obtain the unredacted Epstein files. But there is no way back for Andrew. He hasn't helped the FBI. He has no support. He has no reputation to lose. It can't get much worse. His fall is unique. It has further to go."

Andrew has been issued a witness summons in a civil fraud case, marking what is believed to be the first such summons issued to a member of the British royal family since 1870, The Associated Press reported.

WATCH: SARAH FERGUSON DENIES TELL-ALL BOOK AMID ROYAL FAMILY CONCERNS: EXPERT

The summons comes after a High Court judge in London ruled in October that Andrew could be called to testify about a payment he received in connection with the case. Andrew may apply to have the summons set aside, so there is no guarantee he will testify, the AP reported.

The lawsuit was filed by Turkish national Nebahat Evyap Isbilen, who alleges that her former advisor, Selman Turk, misappropriated tens of millions of pounds of her money. As part of the case, she says Turk misled her about a 750,000-pound (approximately $1 million) payment he arranged for her to make to Andrew in 2019. The younger brother of King Charles III repaid the money in 2021, and he is not a party to the lawsuit. Turk denies dishonesty.

Police Scotland confirmed to People that "active inquiries" are underway into information concerning Andrew and Epstein at Balmoral Castle, the royal family's Scottish estate. Police told People that the inquiries are at a "very early stage."

The confirmation follows a report by the Scottish Daily Express that police inquiries concern allegations that women were trafficked to the royal estate, where Andrew hosted Epstein and his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

"All inquiries are evidence led, with the needs of victim survivors at the heart of those enquiries," Police Scotland told People. "We would never confirm details of ongoing enquiries, and it would be inappropriate to comment further."

Police declined to specify the focus of the inquiries or whether Andrew is the subject of an investigation. Fox News Digital reached out to Police Scotland and Andrew's attorney for comment. A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace told Fox News Digital the palace does not speak on Andrew's behalf because he is no longer a working royal.

Andrew lives in seclusion on the king’s Sandringham estate in Norfolk. A spokesperson for Ferguson told People that she has been spending time with their daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, and her five grandchildren since returning to the U.K. in late August.

"She's resettling here, lying low while she looks at the next stage. She's happy spending time with her family and focusing on her relocation," the spokesperson said.

People reported that Ferguson is renting a house in the Home Counties, a region of counties surrounding London. She previously spent time in the Austrian Alps.

"Sarah Ferguson will be deliberately lying low to allow any tension involving the royal household to die down," royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital. "Right now, Sarah is probably staying away from Sandringham to avoid adding to the melodrama. Obviously, Sarah is concerned about Beatrice and Eugenie. Any repercussions attached to her may fall on their shoulders too."

"The Andrew and Sarah story and their continued love for each other have always been strong," Turner said. "Most days, when they were living together at Royal Lodge, they would make time for each other."

On Feb. 19, Andrew's 66th birthday, Thames Valley Police arrested him on suspicion of misconduct in public office following allegations that he shared confidential information with Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy. He has not been charged. The investigation followed the king's decision in 2025 to strip his brother of his remaining royal titles and honors over his ties to Epstein.

On Oct. 8, Andrew secured a legal victory when a High Court judge in London ruled that search warrants used to raid two properties linked to him were unlawful because police had relied on the wrong legal provisions. The judge, however, said "the fact that the search warrants were quashed does not bring an investigation to an end, or mean that the whole of the investigation was unlawful."

Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.

Ferguson retreated from public life after the release of Epstein-related documents renewed scrutiny of her past relationship with the convicted sex offender. She has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with the financier, who died in federal custody in 2019.

Emails released as part of the Epstein files revealed that Ferguson continued to praise the convicted sex offender even after his 2008 conviction, including referring to him as a "supreme friend," renewing scrutiny of their relationship.

"For 30 years, Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sold us the much-debated story: Married. Divorce. Living together at Royal Lodge. Co-parenting. The 'happiest divorced couple in the world,'" British broadcaster Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.

Chard believes Ferguson is prioritizing her family even as her relationship with Andrew remains "publicly cordial for their daughters but privately fractured."

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

"Sarah is loyal," Chard said. "However, she is also loyal to herself and will do what she needs to spring back. She realizes her own Epstein emails, calling him a 'supreme friend' and more has cost her charities, book deals, her title. Her much-needed invitations also dried up, although she still has a close circle of friends."

On Oct. 29, Ferguson made a rare public appearance alongside her daughters at a memorial service in London for her former boyfriend and longtime friend, Paddy McNally, who died in July at age 88.

"It was no coincidence," Chard said. "Paddy was the one who helped her navigate her most trying time living away from her loved ones, in the Austrian Alps, in exile, cut off from royal life. His guidance, his support, his belief in her gave her the strength to come back to the U.K. to resettle and rebuild. Paddy's legacy is still carrying her through."

Ferguson's plans for the future remain unclear, People reported. While she is looking to "forge an independent life," her spokesperson told People she is not working on a tell-all memoir. Ferguson has written several books.

Andrew has also remained largely out of public view as he faces an ongoing police investigation and a witness summons in a separate civil fraud case.

"As long as Sarah is tied to Andrew, a comeback with King Charles, Prince William and Princess Catherine is almost impossible," Chard said. "William is reportedly taking an even tougher line. With her daughters, grandchildren and close friends around her, she no doubt is plotting her public revival. Her Falklands hero and exiled ex Prince Andrew will not be in tow."

Bruce Springsteen fan club founders say political fights, El-Sayed endorsement led to shutdown: report

Tue, 11/10/2026 - 01:54

A Bruce Springsteen fan club couldn't escape the badlands and shuttered over political commentary.

Founded more than a decade ago, the "Spring-Nuts" Facebook group dedicated to The Boss noticed its 18,000 members were no longer focused on his music as they battled against "hateful" online discourse due to Springsteen's public stances and recent endorsement of Michigan's senator-elect, Abdul El-Sayed.

"As the world grew increasingly divisive, hostile, those tensions inevitably spilled into our little corner of the E Street world," founders Julie and Howie Chaz said in a statement posted on Sunday, Nov. 8, according to Asbury Park Press.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN SPARKS FAN FURY AFTER BACKING ABDUL EL-SAYED IN MICHIGAN SENATE RACE

"What should have been respectful differences of opinion too often deteriorated into personal attacks, bullying, insults, and some genuinely vile and hateful rhetoric."

Springsteen embarked on the "Land of Hope and Dreams" tour earlier this year with the E Street Band and legendary guitarist Tom Morello.

The 20-date tour across North America was slated in response to President Donald Trump and the "No Kings" protests.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN REIGNITES TRUMP FEUD, SAYS 'CRITICAL PATRIOTISM' DEFINES A PATRIOT

"We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair – the cavalry is coming," Springsteen said while announcing the tour on social media in February.

"We will be rocking your town in celebration and in defense of America – American democracy, American freedom, our American Constitution and our sacred American dream – all of which are under attack by our wannabe king and his rogue government in Washington, D.C."

He added, "Everyone, regardless of where you stand or what you believe in, is welcome – so come on out and join the United Free Republic of E Street Nation for an American spring of rock 'n' rebellion! I’ll see you there!"

"Spring-Nuts" founder Howie Chaz admitted that as Springsteen became "more outspoken about his politics," the group administrators were tasked with a "difficult balancing act" of respecting "his absolute right" while maintaining an ethical online community.

"How could we be a Bruce Springsteen fan community trying to protect that harmony and camaraderie and ignore messages and statements coming directly from the very artist who brought us all together," Howie said.

Springsteen's November endorsement of El-Sayed as "a fighter for our American Constitution" was the final straw for admins.

"Mr. Sayed campaigned with Hasan Piker who openly made horrific statements that America deserved 9/11," Howie said.

"After a Michigan synagogue was attacked back in March, obviously an act of terrorism, Sayed rationalized it by saying 'Hurt people hurt people' standing right next to the antisemitic streamer Hasan Piker who made the despicable 9/11 statement."

GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE

His endorsement was "deeply disappointing to us, given our concerns as proud Jews," Julie and Howie said.

"We certainly don't believe Bruce intended for his message to make fans feel unwelcome. But very unfortunately, some of his fans appointed themselves the gatekeepers of who was and wasn't worthy of belonging in the E Street community."

While the group's annual Seaside Serenade and Spring-Nuts podcasts will continue under a different name, the group will rebrand with a focus on music in general, Howie told the Asbury Park Press.

"One thing we want to make absolutely clear is that Julie and I can NEVER thank Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band enough for the decades of music, memories, inspiration, and absolute JOY they have brought into our lives," Howie said on Facebook.

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

"Bruce has been, and always will be, an enormous part of our personal story and journey. His music has been the soundtrack to so many of the most meaningful moments of our lives, and through Spring-Nuts, it opened doors, created opportunities, and introduced us to extraordinary people and experiences we could never have imagined."

Springsteen's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Chris Rock says he 'was not a great husband' to Malaak Compton-Rock, admits he watched 'a lot of porn'

Mon, 11/09/2026 - 22:23

Chris Rock is going into detail about the end of his marriage, admitting he wasn't the best husband and took accountability for mistakes he made in the relationship.

During a recent interview with GQ, the 61-year-old comedian shared that there were many factors that caused the divorce, noting he cheated and was addicted to pornography during his marriage.

"I was not a great husband," he admitted. "I watched a lot of porn. I don’t watch porn anymore. I haven’t watched porn in five, six years."

He also admitted to cheating on his wife, noting, "It’s not anything I’m proud of, but it’s something I had to go through."

CHRIS ROCK SHREDS 'WOKE 1.0' ERA, COMPARES MODERN OUTRAGE TO SALEM WITCH HUNTS

The comedian compared himself to a character in a Marvel movie who "has to test his powers" and see how far they can push things before they eventually "crash down."

"Every Marvel movie, man or woman, they have to test their powers," he said. "They’re a- -holes. They get these powers and they’re a- -holes, and they’re racing trains and they’re lifting up ocean liners and they try to go to the sun, then they crash down because they realize they’re not God. And then they start helping people."

He explained that he "tested my powers" during his marriage by cheating on his wife, noting he "was severely humbled" when he realized he definitely "wasn't God or anywhere near him."

Rock was married to Malaak Compton-Rock for nearly 20 years. They tied the knot in 1996, separated in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2016. They share two children together, daughters, Lola and Zahra.

GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE

The actor recently directed the film, "Misty Green," the first movie he has directed in 12 years, the last one being 2014's "Top Five." He explained that some of the reason behind that is that he got divorced.

"Nobody has a successful divorce, so that takes time," he said. "Then once it’s done, okay, you’re not sitting on the money you had before, so now you got to really make some money. So you go on tour, or two tours. So there was a lot of stand-up. There was a lot of getting my life together. You got a pandemic, you got a bunch of nonsense going on there."

"Misty Green" follows an award-winning actress, Misty Green, who is working hard to make a comeback after years of watching her career slowly fade away, with Rock portraying a casting director who once worked with the actress.

While promoting the movie, Rock told "The Daily" podcast in October that he wanted to make a movie about Los Angeles, calling it a "tale of two cities," noting that while there is "sunshine and palm trees," people are also "constantly walking over homeless people."

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

The actor previously spoke about the message he wanted to get across when making the film, telling Variety in September that much of the movie is about Los Angeles, which he called a "complicated place" that "attracts an underbelly that people want to pretend doesn’t exist."

"A lot of it’s about L.A. L.A. has got very wonky priorities," he said. "There’s a real estate office on the same street as The Ivy on Robertson, and in the window, there are houses for $30-$40 million. In the window. But there’s a homeless guy sleeping right outside. The movie is about that crazy dichotomy."

Russell Brand sentenced after rape, sexual assault convictions in UK

Mon, 11/09/2026 - 16:29

Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison for rape and sexual assault. 

On Monday, Judge Bennathan said that while he would follow the sentencing guidelines, he said Brand "committed sexual offenses against a number of women" and reducing the sentences "would not do justice to the overall gravity" of Brand's criminality.

Last week, Brand was found guilty of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault in the U.K. He denied the charges and was acquitted of two additional rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault.

He was immediately taken into custody following the verdict, according to the BBC. 

Brand, 51, was accused of three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of attempted indecent assault involving six women between 1999 and 2009. 

RUSSELL BRAND FOUND GUILTY OF ONE COUNT OF RAPE AND THREE COUNTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT

One woman he was convicted of sexually assaulting gave an impact statement during Monday's proceedings, while three others submitted written statements to the prosecutor.

"For many years as his star was rising it was impossible to escape seeing him all over the media, being celebrated for his disgusting behavior against women like it was all a joke," she said. "There were many times I felt visibly sick at the sight of him parading around thinking he can get away with anything."

The woman spoke out of view of the courtroom to preserve her identity.

Prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones read statements by the other three women. Brand was convicted of sexually assaulting the first woman at a London radio station in 2005.

"Since the sexual assault ... Russell Brand has managed to move on and even forget," she wrote. "Over the years, hearing his voice on television, on social media or seeing his image made me jump."

According to Sky News, Brand acknowledged that he had been "reckless" and used his fame to pursue sexual relationships, but insisted that the encounters were consensual. He also told the jury that consent was "fundamental, essential and necessary."

Brand has denied forcing any of the women to engage in sexual activity against their will.

Prosecutors alleged that Brand committed the offenses against six women over a 10-year period. The women testified in court about alleged encounters at a hotel, a bar, a radio station, a workplace and Brand’s home.

According to a Metropolitan Police press release, detectives began investigating Brand after allegations were made public by U.K. media outlets Channel 4 and The Sunday Times in September 2023.

The outlets launched a joint investigation into the allegations, resulting in a lengthy article on the Times' website, as well as an episode of Channel 4's documentary series, "Dispatches," called "Russell Brand: In Plain Sight." Both contained a number of anonymous complaints, with women accusing Brand of physical and emotional abuse and bullying, as well as some instances of sexual assault.

Police video released Thursday, Nov. 5 and obtained by Fox News Digital shows Brand defending his sexual history during questioning by London's Metropolitan Police.

During a December 2023 interview, Brand sat alongside his attorney and read a lengthy prepared statement to detectives, insisting that his past sexual encounters were consensual.

"As I’ve repeatedly stated publicly … I led a very promiscuous life in the past, which I’ve spent years openly denouncing. I’ve never engaged in nonconsensual sexual activity," Brand said.

Brand also criticized a September 2023 media investigation that brought allegations against him into the public spotlight.

He described the reporting as "defamatory and fictitious," suggesting that consensual encounters had been "invented or reimagined" as sexual misconduct.

In a video posted to X last year, Brand thanked his fans for messages of support, then criticized the British government and legal system before addressing the charges directly.

He said that he "was a fool before I lived in the light of the Lord. I was a drug addict, a sex addict and an imbecile, but what I never was was a rapist. I've never engaged in nonconsensual activity. I pray that you can see that by looking in my eyes."

Brand added, "Of course, I'm now going to have the opportunity to defend these charges in court, and I'm incredibly grateful for that."

Hilary Duff says child stardom left ‘scars from the past’: ‘People don’t survive that’

Mon, 11/09/2026 - 15:30

Hilary Duff is opening up about the "scars from the past" she had to confront as a former child star.

In a recent interview with Billboard, the 39-year-old actress and singer, who rose to fame at 14 when she starred in the hit Disney Channel series "Lizzie McGuire," reflected on the lasting effects of childhood stardom as she discussed her return to music after more than a decade.

In February, Duff released "Luck … Or Something," her first studio album since 2015's "Breathe In. Breathe Out." The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. In June, Duff launched the "Lucky Me Tour," her first major tour in nearly two decades.

Before launching her tour, Duff gave an intimate performance for friends and family in Los Angeles in January. She told Billboard that she was so nervous during the show that her hand shook as she held the microphone.

The "Younger" star recalled that after the performance, her son, Luca, told her he was proud of her for returning to the stage despite her fears.

"That stuck with me, because it is scary, and I'm used to being so tough and strong," she said. "This industry really makes you very rough around the edges, where you're like, 'I've got to handle this, so I just will.'"

"But it was scary to step onstage after 20 years and figure out my identity, and how I move my body and what I'm taking from my old persona and adding to who I am now," Duff continued. "It was a complicated thing to do, and I had to get over quite a few scars from the past."

Although she stepped away from music for more than a decade, Duff said some of the habits she developed during her years as a child star have been difficult to shake.

According to Billboard, Duff repeatedly referred to herself as a "Disney dog" during the interview, describing an ingrained impulse to "say yes and to go, go, go."

Duff also said returning to music as an adult has allowed her to take greater control of her career than she had as a child star.

"It was wonderful building this on my terms," she said. "I don't mean that negatively in regard to how anything was handled in the past, because I was a child in the past. I wasn't muted, and I got to make decisions, but people made a lot of decisions for me because I didn't care or know enough to be like, 'Here's how I want this.'"

"I've had a great career and I feel really lucky," she said. "I also am a child star, and that's a really hard thing to wrestle with as an adult. People don't survive that."

The "Lucky Me Tour" kicked off on June 21 in West Palm Beach, Florida, and included stops at Madison Square Garden in New York City and the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, before heading to Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Due to strong demand, Duff extended the tour through 2027 with 32 additional dates across Europe, Latin America and the U.S.

Duff told Billboard that reconnecting with longtime fans has helped her heal some of the wounds left by childhood fame. She said she now makes a point of thanking fans during her concerts for "letting me grow up."

"I understand fans hold me in this sweet capsule in their heart that holds a time in their life that was tender and uncomplicated," Duff said.

"But putting out a very honest and exposed record and them digesting and accepting it and being like, 'Me Too' — that was very healing for me," she continued. "It showed me that they don't just care about me as the person they hold in that capsule, they care about me now as well."

Prince William has 'learned' to live without Prince Harry as royal feud reaches breaking point: expert

Mon, 11/09/2026 - 13:00

Prince William has "learned" to live without Prince Harry as their bitter feud appears to have pushed the brothers past the point of no return.

"Harry has never believed he has anything to apologize for," Christopher Andersen, author of "Kate!," told Fox News Digital.

"William had never believed he had anything to apologize for. Reconciliation is not in the cards. It shouldn't come as any surprise that William views Harry as having betrayed not only the royal family but the institution of the monarchy itself. Harry returning to the U.K. and picking up where he left off before Megxit just rubbed salt into an already festering wound."

PRINCE WILLIAM ‘INCANDESCENT WITH ANGER’ AT PRINCE HARRY AS DIANA ANNIVERSARY DEEPENS ROYAL RIFT: PIERS MORGAN

"These are two extraordinarily strong and stubborn men who have, sadly, learned over the past few years that they can live without each other," Andersen said. "If the death of their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, their father's coronation and the cancer battles of both the king and the Princess of Wales didn't bring them together, it's very hard to imagine what would."

Andersen's comments came after a source told People magazine that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not planning to apologize to William and his wife, Kate Middleton. The U.K.'s Express previously reported that Harry and Meghan hoped to apologize to the Prince and Princess of Wales over comments made during their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey as part of an effort to reconcile.

A source close to Harry and Meghan told People that the report was "nonsense."

The Express reported that the couple specifically planned to apologize over Meghan's revelation during the televised interview that there had been "concerns and conversations" within the royal family about how dark Prince Archie's skin might be before he was born.

People reported that while Harry has made progress in rebuilding his relationship with his father, King Charles, "there’s no movement, especially on William’s side," said a source.

Fox News Digital reached out to Archewell and Kensington Palace for comment.

British broadcaster Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that William is unlikely to forgive his brother. She noted that William once saw Harry as a supportive "wingman" as he prepared for his future role as king.

"Reportedly, Prince William finds it impossible to forgive his brother for leaving him to cope with the pressure of being future king on his own," Chard said. "The sheer stress and upset caused to his family over the past few years is impossible to forgive."

Harry has publicly said he would like to reconcile with his family. In May 2025, he told the BBC that he would "love reconciliation." In October 2026, he told GQ that "the most important thing is to reconcile. That's the key point."

Royal commentator Meredith Constant told Fox News Digital that after rewatching Harry and Meghan's 2021 interview with Winfrey, she believes the couple has no reason to apologize.

"Harry and Meghan overwhelmingly say positive things about William and Kate," Constant said.

"Meghan calls Kate a 'good person' and admires how she handled the pre-wedding situation when she hurt Meghan's feelings. The couple's issues were two-pronged: a lack of support and understanding from the monarchy and an invisible contract with the U.K. press that allowed for a sustained character assassination of Meghan that, as she says in the interview, raised the threat risk against her."

"With that said, I don't think they'd go back and do an hour-plus television interview again," Constant added.

Constant said that as the future king, William "should lead and take the first step towards reconciliation."

"But, as Harry said, 'reconciliation requires accountability,'" Constant said. "And how can William or Kate take accountability for a problem that they, and the rest of the royal family, wouldn't even acknowledge exists?"

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their roles as senior working royals in 2020, citing intrusive British press coverage and a lack of support from the palace. After moving to California that year, they aired their grievances in interviews and documentaries. Harry's 2023 memoir, "Spare," further strained relations with his family.

The couple returned to the U.K. with their children in August 2026 for an extended stay.

Dick Arbiter, a former press secretary to the queen and author of "On Duty with the Royals," told Fox News Digital that Harry should be the one seeking forgiveness, "not the other way around." He said the queen, who died in 2022, was disappointed when her grandson and his wife stepped back from royal duties.

"He had his own reasons to go," Arbiter said. "I think we can all assume why. How is it affecting the rest of the family? Well, it upset his father for obvious reasons. What is more important to the king is his constitutional duty and the survivability of the monarchy as an institution. That comes first."

"He is not going to reconcile with his son as long as his son continues to rubbish the royal family and continues to talk about private meetings," Arbiter said. "This is one of the reasons why the king has had so few meetings with his son, because no sooner is the meeting over and the door has hit Harry in the back, it's all over the American media."

"He's got to be contrite. He's got to apologize and mean it, not the other way around, because he's asking for apologies from his family. And I'm not terribly sure what he wants apologies for."

Some royal commentators had previously hoped that Kate would bring the brothers together as the royal family's peacemaker. However, Andersen said his sources indicated that the Princess of Wales has no desire to get involved.

"Kate is very disappointed with her brother-in-law," Andersen said. "They were once so close, and I think when this all started, she felt she could bring them back together. But to be honest, Harry's attacks on William and the rest of the royal family have, for the most part, made that impossible. I don't think either side has the appetite to go over what has been said in the past."

"It's only Harry who would 'love reconciliation,' not Prince William," British royal expert Hilary Fordwich said. "He remains furious regarding his brother's betrayal, insults and the damage he has wrought upon the family. The impasse is due to both the lack of trust any of the senior royals have in the Sussexes and the lack of apology from them. Without a formal mea culpa, there is no starting point."

Constant said William's next move could determine whether the brothers begin reconciliation talks. As the future king, his decision could send a message about leadership, forgiveness and the possibility of unity within the fractured royal family.

"I'm not sure what the long game is for Will's communications team of putting out information that William won't budge and continues to ice Harry out," Constant said. "After a while, it starts looking petty. But if William does 'extend the olive branch,' as the U.K. press likes to call it, what impact does that have on the story they've been writing for the past six years about the opposing brothers? Who is the villain of the story then?"

Donna Mills on why she never married despite decades-long romance: 'I was always so independent'

Mon, 11/09/2026 - 03:06

"Knots Landing" star Donna Mills is revealing the reason that she has never walked down the aisle despite her 25-year romance with actor Larry Gilman.

During a recent appearance on the "Still Here Hollywood Podcast with Steve Kmetko," the 85-year-old actress, who has been in a relationship with Gilman, 76, since 2001, opened up about why she has chosen to avoid marriage.

"I was always so independent," she told Kmetko. "I’m still very independent."

"I just didn’t ever want to be subject to whatever you have to do when you get married," Mills continued. "I also didn’t want to say I was going to love somebody forever."

"I don’t know if I would do that or not," she admitted with a laugh.

‘CHARLIE’S ANGELS’ STAR JACLYN SMITH LIVED APART FROM HER HUSBAND FOR 17 YEARS DURING THEIR 35-YEAR LOVE STORY

Mills shared the topic of marriage had also come up between herself and her daughter Chloe, who recently tied the knot herself.

"It’s funny because my daughter asked me that. My daughter just got married," Mills said. "And she just had a baby."

After Kmetko told her that she didn't "look like a grandmother," Mills pointed to a necklace she was wearing that was inscribed with the word "Grandma," which she said was a gift from Chloe.

"She gave me this, and I wear it all the time," Mills said.

Mills explained that she and Chloe have had many conversations about what name her grandson would call her.

"And I said, "'Oh, I know. Glamma,'" Mills told Kmetko with a laugh. "But she didn't like that."

The Daytime Emmy Award winner Chloe adopted as a newborn in 1994 when she was 54. Seven years later, Mills began dating Gilman, whom she has described as an "incredibly kind, funny, wonderful man."

"I love him," she told The Daily Beast in 2022. "I’m lucky to have found him. I found him late, but I found him. Everybody loves him. He’s great."

Prior to meeting Gilman, Mills and advertising executive Richard Holland, who was previously married to singer Chaka Khan, had an on-and-off relationship for around 20 years starting in 1979.

When asked why she has never married, Mills said, "I don’t remember anyone ever getting down on one knee."

The "Nope" star also cited her independent streak and explained why she and Gilman never felt the need to marry after meeting later in life.

"I am so freaking independent. I just am. I’m very independent and by the time Larry and I met we were both pretty established," she said. "To combine everything at that point is really difficult. So we just combined our lives but not our finances and stuff like that. It’s much cleaner, much better."

GREAT RELATIONSHIPS HAVE 3 ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS — AND ONE FACTOR THAT CAN RUIN EVERYTHING

Mills shared that maintaining her independence had always given her a sense of security, even while sharing her life with a partner.

"I’ve always felt a woman being independent was important," she said. "It made me feel safer, I guess, to know that I can take care of myself. I want someone to be in my life to love and be with, to be a companion and to go places and all that, but if I have to I can take care of myself."

"And really, I had enough marriages as Abby!" she added, referring to the character she played on "Knots Landing."

Mills became a television sensation playing the glamorous and ruthless Abby Cunningham on "Knots Landing" from 1980 to 1989.

Abby tied the knot four times over the course of the hit primetime soap, though one union was annulled almost immediately after the wedding.

Mills and Gilman share a home in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood, where they have a vineyard. In 2015, Mills told Closer Weekly that the vineyard was a gift from her longtime partner.

"Larry planted a vineyard for me last year," Donna shared. "He’s really such a good guy."

The couple went on to launch Mandeville Vineyards, a small-scale wine brand produced from grapes grown on their vineyard in Brentwood's Mandeville Canyon.

Mills, who surprised her fans when she announced that she had launched an OnlyFans account in July, previously discussed how she had received some unusual requests from subscribers, including one involving her vineyard.

In August, Mills appeared on "Creators Inc. Podcast," which is hosted by Andy Bachman, the CEO of the talent agency Creators, Inc., which manages her OnlyFans account.

During her appearance, Bachman noted that some "foot kink people" had asked to see the actress "stomping on grapes" with her bare feet in her vineyard.

"I’m gonna do it," Mills said. "I tried to shoot it myself. But you can’t shoot something while you’re stomping, it just doesn’t work."

"I'm going to uh… I'm going to do that very soon… and do it right so that you know people can… really enjoy it," she continued. "I think it's really funny and fun and uh it's the kind of thing that I want to be able to share with the fans."

Ann-Margret seen in wheelchair outside Los Angeles hotel months after breaking elbow in fall

Mon, 11/09/2026 - 03:00

Hollywood icon, Ann-Margret, was recently photographed outside a Los Angeles hotel in a wheelchair.

The 85-year-old actress was spotted arriving to a hotel for an event, where her staff met her outside and helped her get out of her car.

She was seen smiling as she was being wheeled into the event by her staff, in an all-black outfit, which she paired with a green blazer, glasses and a necklace.

Her appearance at the event occurred only a few months after the actress shared she suffered a fall in her home in April, which led to a broken elbow.

"I fell the other day and so now my right elbow is broken," Ann-Margret told Parade magazine at the time. "That’s OK. … I have fallen so many times. I don’t intend to, but I do! What can I say?"

Although she was forced to cancel a fan event at the time during which she would be signing autographs, she assured the outlet that she was on the mend, telling them, "Yes I am. I sure am!"

Dubbed "The Female Elvis," Ann-Margret had her breakout performance in the 1963 movie musical, "Bye Bye Birdie," which established her as a leading lady early in her career. She then starred alongside Elvis Presley in the 1964 movie, "Viva Las Vegas."

Her transition to dramatic films came in the 70s, with the actress receiving her first of two Academy Award nominations in 1972 for her role in "Carnal Knowledge."

Throughout her career, the sex-symbol received five Golden Globe Awards, one Emmy Award, two Academy Award nomination and two Grammy Award nominations.

When speaking with Fox News Digital in June, Ann-Margret shared her love for motorcycles, revealing she rode one for the first as a child in Sweden with her uncle, saying after that "I had to have one of my own." After all these years on a bike, the actress said she has never been scared.

"Isn’t that something?" she said. "I never have been. I love the speed. I try not to go too fast, although I do love the speed. I’m joyful when I get on that bike. I don’t get scared. That’s the problem!"

She previously spoke to People magazine in February 2024 about her love for motorcycles, noting, "I love speed. Not the drug."

The performer also spoke to the outlet about her decades-long career in Hollywood, saying she had zero plans to slow down. Ann-Margret described how she took dance lessons early on in life to prove to her parents she was born to entertain.

"I remember wanting to be in show business all my life," Ann-Margret told the outlet. "And I remember one day I said to mother and daddy, ‘I want to talk to you. It’s a very, very important thing for me and I want to get into show business.’"

Bear Grylls addresses Russell Brand's baptism, calls victims 'heroes of the day' after verdict

Mon, 11/09/2026 - 02:16

Bear Grylls is speaking out on Russell Brand's rape conviction two years after he baptized the comedian.

On Friday, British adventurer and television presenter Bear Grylls, best known for survival shows such as "Man vs. Wild," took to X to say that it was "right that justice has now been served."

"Brand’s faith seemed genuine to me at the time when I was a guest at his private baptism. I have attended a few now. Even visiting in prisons with people who have committed terrible crimes. It’s part of our calling as men and women of faith, to love and serve anyone."

He continued, "It is right that justice has now been served. I can’t imagine how hard this time has been for the victims, the heroes of the day."
