The couple have taken the criticism in stride, and on Sunday, the "30 Rock" star admitted he was delighted to be the "nicer half for a change" in a montage video featuring Hilaria's new favorite catchphrase.
"Everyone's telling me to shut up. That's OK," Alec told a flock of birds while on a nighttime stroll with his wife.
"When the birds are talking, you're not talking," the yoga enthusiast told her husband.

Alec apologized before Hilaria added, "This is why we'll have to just cut him out of the show."
&Meghan Trainor critics spark Ozempic claims with singer's dramatic weight loss transformation
Meghan Trainor triggered criticism online after sharing a series of images showing off her weight-loss transformation.
The "All About That Bass" singer posed up a storm wearing a sheer white dress and T-shirt for a carousel of snaps recently shared on Instagram.
Her subtle post garnered questions about her slimmed-down appearance, though, with fans wondering if Trainor, 31, was using Ozempic.
MEGHAN TRAINOR SAID ‘NOBODY WARNED ME’ BEFORE SHE WENT TOO FAR WITH BOTOX
Fans took to the comments to both praise and ponder Trainor's new look.
One user asked, "'All about that bass'??? Until Ozempic then you are all about that treble."

"LMFAO body positive until you can get your hands on Ozempic," one fan commented, while another wrote, "all about that bass? all about that ozempic."
Another fan posted lyrics to Trainor's most memorable song, "You know I won’t be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll."

One user wondered, "ozempic? what happened to being body positive?"
Her husband, Daryl Sabara, made sure to let his wife know she was adored regardless, and wrote, "Just the prettiest woman in the world."
Representatives for Trainor did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The "Been Like This" songstress previously lost 60 lbs after giving birth to her first son.
"I was my heaviest I've ever been, I was like over 200 pounds when I C-sectioned him out. I just wasn't feeling great," Trainor told ET Canada. She "challenged" herself to lose the weight gradually.
"I was like, 'If I can survive a C-section, I can do anything!' – [and] I was very dedicated and I started seeing the pounds come off like one week at a time, one pound… I learned that I do like healthy food and I learned what portions mean. And I learned my brain is so happy when I exercise, so I'm just [feeling] better than ever."
Late last year, Trainor admitted she went a little too far with Botox, but still has future plans for plastic surgery.

"Someone convinced me with my little lips that if you did a lip flip, you put filler right above your upper lip, that you could have a beautiful flip on your upper lip. And I could have one for the first time in my whole 30 years of living. It was not true," she said, explaining she had Botox before "a handful of times" on her forehead.
"I cannot smile anymore," she complained on her "Workin’ On It with Meghan Trainor & Ryan Trainor" podcast. "Everywhere I go, I cannot smile. My face hurts to smile, to even try."

The "lip flip" procedure Trainor referred to is a nonsurgical method to make lips appear fuller by injecting Botox into the corners of the mouth and the edges of the lips, making the muscles around the upper lip relax and appear to "flip" upward and look larger than normal, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
When sharing what lesson she learned from her experience, Trainor said, "It taught me my smile does light up a room, and when it’s not there, it’s a dim light. I feel like I'm not happy because I can’t smile."
Despite the Botox situation, Trainor said she still has plans for a breast augmentation and wants to get "just a little lift" after her body changed from two pregnancies. Trainor shares two sons, Riley and Barry, with husband Daryl Sabara.

&'Impractical Jokers' star Joe Gatto denies sexual assault allegation, admits 'poor judgment'
Former "Impractical Jokers" star Joe Gatto has responded to an alleged sexual assault claim made by a TikTok user.
"I have used poor judgment and as a result have violated the trust of the people I love most," Gatto – who separated from his wife, Bessy, in 2021 but reconciled in 2023 – said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "But anyone who knows me at all knows full well that I wouldn’t assault anyone. Working on myself is an ongoing process, and I am now going to take some time away from the public eye to focus my energies where I need to."
In a series of videos uploaded to TikTok on March 20, a user by the name joozyb alleged that she was "sexually assaulted by Joe Gatto, the Impractical Joker."
IMPRACTICAL JOKERS' JOE GATTO ANNOUNCES DEPARTURE FROM SHOW, CITES PERSONAL LIFE 'ISSUES'
The user, who was allegedly 19 years old at the time, detailed how she met the comedian while he was performing in Wisconsin in September 2023. The two allegedly began private messaging via Instagram.
"I was drunk, whatever, and he was texting me all this stuff. And, like, it was starting to get a little weird, you know," she claimed in one video, which was paired with various screenshots of alleged messages between the two.
Eventually, she claimed, Gatto allegedly invited her to his hotel room where "some stuff happened."
"I've been wanting to tell people this for so long. I've like, tried in different ways, but it's hard with somebody this big, [I] come to the realization that if I do say something, that I'm really saying something."

In a disturbing photo she uploaded to TikTok, she wrote, "Yes he did S.A me. yes he had JUST gotten back together with his wife. I’m sorry you guys don’t want to hear it but…"
In 2022, Gatto announced his departure from "Impractical Jokers."
"Alongside my friends, I’ve devoted a decade of my life to building this franchise and couldn’t be prouder of what has been accomplished. However, due to some issues in my personal life, I have to step away," Gatto wrote, then mentioning his wife of eight years. "Bessy and I have decided to amicably part ways, so now I need to focus on being the best father and co-parent to our two incredible kids."
He said outside his family, the relationships with his co-stars and longtime friends James S. Murray, Brian "Q" Quinn and Sal Vulcano "have been the most important in my life." The four friends since high school, who originally formed a comedy troupe called The Tenderloins, eventually became known as the Impractical Jokers for their hidden camera television show started in 2011 for TruTV.

"I know they will continue to make the world laugh," Gatto said. "And even though the four of us are the ones who you all see, this show is only possible due to the hard work of the talented crew members who work behind the scenes. I am very thankful to have worked with each and every one of them."
In his goodbye post, Gatto continued, "To all of the amazing fans, thank you for allowing me to make you laugh with Jokers. They say that laughter is the best medicine, and I hope I’ve been able to provide some of that over the last decade. Seeing you laugh has been my own medicine, particularly in these weird and difficult times we find ourselves. As I work through the challenges I am facing, I hope to and am excited to create new ways to entertain you."
&Hallmark star Brennan Elliott's wife Camilla Row dead at 45 after gastric cancer battle: 'Love of my life'
Camilla Row, the wife of Hallmark star Brennan Elliott, has died. She was 45.
The 49-year-old actor announced that Row had passed away after a battle with stage 4 gastric cancer in an emotional post that he shared on Instagram Saturday.
"There is no easy way to say this but I know my wife @camilla_row would have wanted me to thank every person from all over the world who prayed for her over the last 8 years she suffered immeasurably trying to survive and live with #stage4gastriccancer," Elliott, 49, wrote in the heartfelt caption of his post, which featured a photo of Row standing on a beach while smiling and holding a drink.
"It is with a soul-crushing, devastated heart that my beloved wife #cami passed away at 5:28 this morning," he continued. "Our babies and I lost our rock, a person who not only was the love of my life, my soulmate, my best friend and lover but the toughest strongest fearless person I have ever met in my life and the greatest mother to her babies."
HALLMARK STAR SECRETLY BATTLES THROAT CANCER, SAYS HE'S BEEN ON A ‘LONG ROAD’ TO RECOVERY
"The pain she endured only I might know but assure all who loved her she is in peace with no more pain. You are with the lord now my queen!" Elliott wrote with two prayer hands emojis. "You are free! Heaven is a far better place with you in it my love. THANKYOU for being the best wife, mother and friend I’ve ever known."
"What you did for the #gastriccancer community was immeasurable, but what you did for me as a man will last forever," the actor added. "For any of you who met or knew her your life was blessed because of her presence. I love and am in love and will always be in love with you my baby! I know u r dancing and are on vacation in heaven and free from the grips of cancer. When the lord calls me and it’s my time I will c u in heaven and we will start dancing again.!!"
"I will always be your hot mess! Missing you on this plane forever but will c u soon! THANKYOU Cami for being YOU!" Elliott concluded.
The "Crossroads Mysteries" star and Row, who was a clinical psychologist, married in 2011. The pair shared son Liam and daughter Luna.
In January, Row shared an update on her health with her followers on her private Instagram account.
"One day at a time and I know God has a plan for me," she wrote, according to People magazine. "A series of surgeries and hospitalizations have left me weak and out of treatment but I am thankful everyday of each second of life."
In a 2024 interview with Orange Coast magazine, Row recalled that she was first diagnosed with stage 1 stomach cancer in 2018. She said the diagnosis came after she underwent an endoscopy following "two years of having reflux pain that wouldn’t go away."
"Everyone said I was so lucky to have caught it early. All the doctors said, ‘We can cure you,’ So I went straight to surgery to remove my stomach along with 47 lymph nodes."

After the surgery, Row said her medical team told her the cancer was unlikely to recur, but masses in her ovaries were discovered in 2021 when she underwent a routine CT scan.
"Further testing later found them to be of stomach cancer origin," she said. "I went from a stage 1 survivor to a stage 4 patient overnight. It was a lot to process. A lot of the data was suggesting that I had months to live. But I was not ready to die."
Row explained that she initially didn't publicly reveal her diagnosis because she "never wanted to impact" Elliott's career.
"But when I was diagnosed stage 4, I felt a real duty to become an advocate for other stomach cancer patients," she said. "And I had to be an advocate for myself."

"What’s helped me cope is giving back to the stomach cancer community – leading support groups," Row explained. "Letting people know that you have to speak up for yourself and empower yourself with information. To know that I’m making some sort of difference makes the cancer part suck a little less."
In April 2022, Elliott spoke out about his wife's cancer battle for the first time.
"Those closest to me know that my Wife Cami has had several bouts with cancer in the past but now she embarks on a new journey as a Stage IV metastatic gastric cancer patient," he wrote in an Instagram post.
"There is no one I consider braver, stronger, more Fearless even when you’re Faced with a sinister opponent who never plays fair," the "unREAL" actor continued.
"As you all know me to be a very private person, this feels scary and exposing but If there is any hope that her story can help Even one person, then her cancer Experience Was Not Done in vain," Elliott added.
&Justin Bieber struggling with 'anger issues' and feelings of self-hate amid growing concern among fans
After years in the spotlight, Justin Bieber has dealt with his share of self-doubt.
On Saturday, the 31-year-old singer revealed that while he often struggles with "anger issues," he's actively trying to better himself.
"I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much," Bieber wrote on Instagram, alongside a carousel of photos.

In a follow-up post, Bieber openly discussed other insecurities he often feels.
"I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic," he wrote, alongside a clip of what seems to be a studio session. "Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people."
JUSTIN BIEBER SAYS HE STRUGGLES WITH FEELINGS HE’S ‘UNWORTHY’ AND A ‘FRAUD’
Fans were quick to flock to the comment section, offering the pop star words of encouragement.
"I see you," actress Alyssa Milano wrote. "You are not alone in feeling this way sometimes. But… please know you are enough and will continue to grow. Just keep going. One foot in front of the other. One day at a time."
"Thank you for staying true to yourself, for being so honest and vulnerable, because we know it’s not always easy to be open," one fan account commented. "It’s exhausting to be in a world that makes us question if we’re enough, and even more exhausting to fight against that pressure every day. But you’re aware of it, and that awareness is powerful. You’re not just going along with it – you’re pushing back. And that says a lot about the kind of person you are."

The "What Do You Mean" singer has recently sparked concern among fans with his various posts about his mental and emotional health.
"I was always told when I was a kid not to hate," Bieber wrote on his Instagram story last week. "But it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it."
"Which made me feel like I have been drowning feeling unsafe to acknowledge it," he continued. "I think we can only let hate go. By first acknowledging it's there.
"How couldn't we feel hate from all of the hurt we have experienced?" he concluded.
Hours after posting the statement, Bieber shared a series of photos of himself with wife Hailey Bieber at Disneyland. In one photo, he can be seen with his arm around her, and in another, he stands beside her in matching Mickey Mouse ears, flipping off the camera.
Last month, Bieber's behavior at his wife Hailey's Rhode event in Los Angeles left fans baffled. In a video that went viral on TikTok last month, Bieber was seen with a huge grin on his face and rocking side-to-side while talking to attendees.
"Are you sure that's Justin Bieber?" one user asked.
"Is he okay?!" a user asked. Another chimed in, "This is so hard to watch. Someone help him."

After the speculation, Bieber's team told TMZ that concerns about Bieber's mental and physical health are "exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive."
His team added that he is focused on being a father to his son Jack and producing new music. Hailey and Justin welcomed their first child in August.
&‘White Lotus’ actress Michelle Monaghan's journey from Iowa hog wrestling to Hollywood star
Michelle Monaghan might be a huge star these days, but at heart she will always be a Midwestern farmer’s daughter.
"The White Lotus" star grew up in the small town of Winthrop, Iowa, which she said had a population of 740 people at the time.
"Everybody knew your business," she admitted to James Cordon on the "Late Late Show" in 2018.
And in the summers as a kid, her business was being a champion hog wrestler.
TOM CRUISE'S ‘MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE' CO-STAR SAYS THEY MADE OUT WHILE SHE WAS ON HER ’HONEYMOON'
Monaghan told The New York Post's Alexa magazine this week that she, her husband Peter White and their two kids go back to Iowa to see her parents every summer. Despite her hog wrestling past, she told the outlet that these days the time in her hometown is more likely to involve "drinking beer outside, playing cornhole, lightning bugs, s’mores — that’s my jam, that’s my speed."
While speaking to Cordon seven years ago, the "Mission: Impossible" star went into detail about her early years rolling around with pigs.
"We had this thing growing up at the country fairs that you would sign up to wrestle a hog," she told the host, noting that she even won a blue ribbon for it. "So for year after year, like in the summer, I would be, I don’t know: 12, 13, 14, you’d grab like a gal or a partner or somebody, and you’d have a big, big metal pen probably, I don’t know, about 20 feet in diameter, and they have a big hog in the middle with a barrel, and it was full of about a foot of mud. And they’d start the clock, and you ran around chasing the hog – believe it or not, I did it – and you grab the hog."
She said she was covered in mud by the end of it.

"You pick up the hog by all fours, and you dump it. The poor hog, I feel terrible now – I do love bacon – and then you dump it and, apparently, I’m quick in mud," she joked.
After graduating from high school, Monaghan went to college to study journalism, paying for school by modeling.
"I also knew that if I wanted to go to college, I was going to have to put myself through school," Monaghan told Interview magazine in 2016. "I come from a very humble place, my parents are working class—my dad’s a farmer—and I knew that it was going to be my responsibility. At the same time, I was coming into my own as an adolescent, and people were like, ‘Your daughter could model. Your daughter is a pretty young girl.' I went to Chicago where I had met this modeling agent, who was like, ’You could model for Montgomery Ward and Target.' I started going there during the summers and I made money. I was the girl in your local Sunday paper, and you didn’t even know it," she said.
In 2022, the "Made of Honor" star reminisced on her Instagram about her modeling days.
"I remember this day so clearly," she wrote, showing glamour shots of her at a Chicago McDonald’s in 1997. "A modeling shoot I did with photographer @foremanalan. I was gearing up to start my sophomore year at Columbia College, studying journalism. I modeled for Montgomery Ward and Target by day, and went to college by night. I worked hard, played hard and I had no idea what the future held. But I dreamt big. And little did I know the universe had so many magical things in store for me. Feeling immense gratitude for dreams, slushies and good folks along the way."
Monaghan is currently starring in the third season of HBO’s "The White Lotus," which was filmed in Thailand. She spoke to the Post about her role while she was in London filming Mark Wahlberg’s "The Family Plan 2," after which she planned to return home to her husband and kids in Los Angeles.
She told the outlet when she first discovered her "White Lotus" character was a famous actress, "I thought, ‘Oh, gosh, that hits a little close to home.' And then I got access to all eight episodes, I binge-read them, and I thought, ‘Holy s---, he’s done it again!’"
Monaghan noted that she is "as much a fan [of the show] as anyone else," and has long admired the show’s creator, Mike White.
"He’s a great observer of human behavior," she said. "He sees everything and everyone. You know everything that he writes really comes from a place of authenticity." Read her full interview in the New York Post's Alexa magazine.
After Monaghan’s modeling career took off in the late 1990s, the actress, who turned 49 today, started to get TV parts, starting with two episodes of "Young Americans" in 2000. She soon got roles in movies like 2002’s "Unfaithful," 2004’s "The Bourne Supremacy" and 2005’s "Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
She also played Tom Cruise’s love interest in "Mission: Impossible III" in 2006, reprising the role in "Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol," and "Mission: Impossible – Fallout."

The actress has also starred in movies like 2007’s "Gone Baby Gone," "The Heartbreak Kid" and 2008’s "Made of Honor" opposite Patrick Dempsey.
She told People magazine that acting careers have highs and lows, and she feels good about where she is now.
"I'm so fortunate, and I know that there is an ebb and a flow in any career, specifically in Hollywood," she said. "And so, right now is a real celebratory moment for me. This is really exciting to be a part of ‘The White Lotus’ … I'm in flow and so that feels really, really positive to me."
Monaghan and her husband, a graphic artist, were married in 2005, when her acting career was just beginning to pick up steam.
"So, this is the only thing we know, how to be supportive and equitable," she told the outlet Fatherly in 2020. "It’s imperative that our kids see us this way. It can’t be all about mommy’s career and all about mommy’s clock. We’ve been able to navigate our careers because we’ve established that balance for ourselves."

While on one of their trips back to Iowa last year, Monaghan told the New York Post's Alexa magazine that she had a milestone moment with her daughter.
"I was teaching my daughter how to drive in the town I grew up in, which is, like, a town of seven people," she joked. "It’s very chill, there’s not even a stoplight. So that was a really cool, full-circle moment. A realization of how far I’ve come, and all the wonderful things I have in my life."
&Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas spark romance rumors; ‘shared drive’ could create strong match: expert
Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas sparked romance rumors after the two were spotted out together in London for the second time in two months.
On the night before Valentine's Day, the 62-year-old actor and the 36-year-old actress were pictured walking through London's Soho neighborhood as de Armas carried what appeared to be takeout bags of food from a restaurant. The two stopped for photos with fans before leaving in a taxi together.
At the time, a source told People magazine the "Mission Impossible" star and the "Ghosted" actress had dined out with their agents, saying they were "discussing potential collaborations down the line." The insider claimed Cruse and de Armas "appeared to have no romantic connection" and were "just friends."
However, the duo further fueled dating speculation when they were again photographed together March 14 as they arrived at the London Heliport by helicopter at night.
TOM CRUISE AND ANA DE ARMAS FUEL ROMANCE RUMORS AFTER STEPPING OUT IN LONDON AGAIN
While speaking with People, a source said Cruise and de Armas are collaborating on an upcoming project, but they are not romantically involved. According to the insider, director Doug Liman accompanied the two on the trip, but further details about the project were not disclosed.
However, celebrity matchmaker Alessandra Conti expressed doubts over whether the relationship between Cruise and de Armas was actually platonic, noting the two are both guarded about their private lives.
She told Fox News Digital Cruise might be particularly wary about putting a new romance on display after his highly publicized relationship with ex-wife Katie Holmes, which ended in divorce in 2012. The "Top Gun" star's previous marriages to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman also played out under the glare of the spotlight.
"Since his devastating and public split with Katie, he has kept a low profile when it comes to his personal life. However, his new relationship with Ana De Armas could be his big comeback into being in a celebrity power couple," Conti said.
"As a matchmaker in Beverly Hills for nearly 13 years, it is clear that Tom was gravely affected by the public nature of his relationship with Katie and was gun-shy and incredibly private with any other potential romances since the split back in 2012."
"The fact that he was seen publicly with Ana is a huge deal," Conti added. "My celebrity clients know exactly how to keep their love lives under wraps if that is their desire. So, this is a clear indicator that he is feeling secure about the potential of this romance, though sources are saying that it is merely because they are in a film together.
"Even if they are simply working together, as a celebrity matchmaker, I believe this couple is incredibly compatible for a number of reasons and do think that this could be a lasting Hollywood match if they give it a chance to blossom."
Conti's view was shared by Damona Hoffman of "The Dates & Mates," who pointed out several similarities between Cruise and de Armas that could draw them together as a couple.
"Both are talented, high-energy actors who thrive in action-packed roles. Their dedication to their craft could make them understand and support each other’s demanding careers," she said.
Hoffman said Cruise and de Armas also share other traits in common, noting the two are both "adventurous" and "driven."
"Tom is known for his passion for extreme stunts and adventure, while Ana has shown a bold and ambitious approach to her career," she said. "Their shared drive could create a strong connection."
Conti also noted the pair "both love working in the action-film space." Cruise is one of Hollywood's biggest action stars, appearing in dozens of movies within the genre and has led the "Mission Impossible" franchise since 1996.
De Armas has starred in several action films, but the duo haven't appeared in any films together – yet.
"Tom is known for being hands-on even by doing his own stunts, something that Ana has expressed admiration for in the past," Conti said. "Ana too deep dives into whichever role she is engaging with, and their passion and dedication for the action genre is an exciting compatibility indicator."
During a 2023 interview, de Armas, who rose to fame with the 2019 mystery film "Knives Out," heaped praise on Cruise as she discussed what motivated her to take on action roles.
"It’s demanding and painful, and your body is hurting everywhere, but it’s also very rewarding as I saw myself getting better at it," she told USA Today. "Besides, it’s fun. And if I just go say my lines and someone else does the stunts, I’m missing that fun."
While speaking with the outlet, de Armas acknowledged she was "not at a Tom Cruise level yet."
"But I can appreciate what he does 100% now, and I totally get why he does it. He’s so mind-blowing," she said.
Conti pointed out Cruise and de Armas both paved their own ways to success in the entertainment industry, another commonality that could bring them together.
"They both worked their way through Hollywood with strong work ethic and tenacity. Unlike many of the stars in this generation, Tom is not a nepo-baby and built his career for himself without the help of famous parents," she said. "Ana is originally from Cuba and had the challenge of breaking into the English-based industry."
Hoffman told Fox News Digital that while de Armas and Cruise have high-profile careers, they "both manage to balance charm and mystery."
"Ana keeps her personal life low key (hello new home in Vermont!), which might appeal to Tom, who values discretion despite his fame," she said.
Last year, de Armas left Hollywood behind and moved into a new home in rural Vermont. During a September 2024 interview with E! News, the actress explained what prompted her to relocate.
"I feel like, nowadays, we all want to go away from the craziness of the world," she said. "We all want to have the chance to build your own safe space. I’ve made that decision myself."

"I found a home where I really feel off the grid," she added. "I can collect myself and only bring there who I want to be with. I have my little cocoon there."
Like Cruise, de Armas also previously had several public romances. Her former partners include Ben Affleck, Spanish actor Marc Clotet and Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis.
However, the actress previously admitted to Elle magazine the "horrible" attention on her relationship with Affleck, whom she dated from 2020 to 2021, was a factor in her decision to flee Hollywood.
"That's one of the reasons why I left LA. Going through it confirmed my thoughts about, 'This is not the place for me to be,'" she said in 2022. "It became a little bit too much. There's no escape. There's no way out. ... It's always the feeling of something that you don't have, something missing. It's a city that keeps you anxious."
Hoffman told Fox News Digital de Armas' aversion to the scrutiny that comes with dating an A-lister could spell trouble for a potential relationship with Cruise.
"Ana de Armas ended her relationship with Ben Affleck partly because she didn’t want the intense Hollywood spotlight and LA lifestyle, two things that are even more inescapable with Tom Cruise, making a similar fate highly likely," she said.

"Also, Ana's star is poised for a meteoric rise and, while Tom is still doing his own stunts now, there will likely come a time in the not-to-distant future when he's going to need to step back from that kind of hectic, demanding acting work. And I imagine he'd resent seeing his partner shine brighter in her career than him."
According to Hoffman, their different beliefs might be another stumbling block, citing Cruise's devotion to Scientology.
The actor has been a Scientologist for over 30 years, and he is one of the religion's most prominent advocates.
"Tom’s deep ties to Scientology have reportedly played a role in his past relationships ending," Hoffman said. "Ana, on the other hand, hasn’t shown any interest in that world, which could be a major disconnect."
While some may assume de Armas and Cruise's 26-year age difference could be another obstacle, Conti told Fox News Digital she didn't believe it would have much of an effect.
"There was a 16-year age gap with Ben Affleck, so Ana is no stranger to an age-gap relationship with an actor," she said.
"This is Hollywood, and while civilians may raise their eyebrows at a 26-year age gap, this is par for the course here," the celebrity matchmaker added. "Ana clearly is mature, and at 36 years old, her frontal lobe has been developed, so I am in support.
"Out of all of the men who she has been linked to in the past, I believe that Tom could be ‘the one,'" Conti said. "As a matchmaker, I truly am rooting for Tom to find love and finally have his happily ever after.

&William Shatner celebrates 94th birthday with charity work, trip to Las Vegas
William Shatner knows it’s better to give than to receive … and that Las Vegas is a lot of fun.
The "Star Trek" alum plans to celebrate his 94th birthday on Saturday by volunteering – as he has for the last 35 years – at his charity.
"For the last many years, I have celebrated my birthday by working on a very successful charity called The Hollywood Charity Horse Show," the 94-year-old revealed to People magazine. "We have been doing it for 35 years and raised millions of dollars for children and veterans."
Shatner started the charity in 1990 after watching handicapped children doing horse therapy.

"Shatner sat, deeply affected by what he had seen, saying ‘You can’t watch these kids without knowing you have to help, somehow,’" the charity said on its website.
The charity added, "On one special Saturday evening each year, William Shatner brings together world-class reining horses and riders in breathtaking slides and spins as they compete for top honors in their respective classes," with all the proceeds going to charity.
As well as his charity work, the "Boston Legal" actor also plans to head to Sin City with his family.
"My family is taking me to Las Vegas for dinner and a show, and then back to Los Angeles," he told People. "It’s going to be a family experience in that wonderful, entertaining city. I’m really looking forward to it."
Shatner shared his advice for staying young last year on his 93rd birthday, telling People, "Just staying engaged in life, to stay curious. But the luck has a lot to do with it in your health."
WILLIAM SHATNER DOESN'T WATCH ‘STAR TREK,’ SAYS HE'S SEEN ‘AS FEW AS POSSIBLE’
"Your life's energy, the soul energy of your body is a product of health," he told People. "If you're sick, you can't be energetic. You're dying. So my luck has been, I've been healthy all my life."
Shatner was born in Montreal, Canada on March 22, 1931.
And he hasn’t slowed down much. Shatner became the oldest person to go into space in 2021 at 90 when he was invited to ride on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin New Shepard rocket. That record was beat just three years later when 90-year-old former Air Force test pilot Ed Dwight flew on a Blue Origin Rocket.

"What I experienced was not so much the flight into space, but my observation," Shatner told Fox News Digital at the time. "Everybody knows we live on a small rock and that up to 12,500 feet oxygen is there. And after that, as you go higher, you get into a dead zone. So there's the Karman line is 50 miles up. Oxygen is two miles up. We live on a small rock. I saw the beginning of the curvature of the Earth."
He added, "If I followed through, I could make a circle of this rock we live on. We are so negligible. We are so nothing. We are this small rock and this negligible solar system which is beside a mediocre star in a galaxy that is barely larger."

He also shared his gratitude on his social media on Saturday to everyone who wished him well on his day.
"As I begin my 95th journey around the sun today I want to take a minute to thank everyone for the birthday wishes!" he wrote. "I am overwhelmed at the amount of love I have received. My best, Bill."
Shatner received well-wishes from a number of celebrities, including astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson who wrote on X: "Happy Birthday William Shatner. Today, completing 94 trips around the Sun. Congratulations on your 55-billion mile journey."

&'Ghost Adventures' star Aaron Goodwin sues estranged wife for assault, false imprisonment, negligence: report
"Ghost Adventures" star Aaron Goodwin has amended a divorce filing against estranged wife Victoria Goodwin, who was recently arrested for allegedly plotting to murder him.
According to Clark County, Nevada, court records viewed by Fox News Digital, the 48-year-old reality TV personality filed the amended divorce complaint Wednesday. Fox News Digital has reached out to an attorney for Goodwin.
Goodwin is suing Victoria for assault, false imprisonment and negligence along with other claims, according to a report by Us Weekly, which obtained the amended filing. Goodwin is seeking more than $10,000 in punitive and exemplary damages, alleging his estranged wife was "negligent in her marital actions."
"Victoria's conduct was extreme or outrageous with either the intention of or reckless disregard for, causing emotional distress to [Goodwin]," the court documents state, according to Us Weekly. "[He] suffered severe or extreme emotional distress as the actual or proximate result of [her] conduct."
Goodwin also accused Victoria of assault and false imprisonment, though specific details were not provided, according to the outlet.
However, the documents claimed Victoria made Goodwin "feel apprehension of harmful or offensive behavior" and alleged she aimed to "confine [him] within boundaries" established by her.
"[Victoria’s] act directly … resulted in such a confinement," the documents allege. "[Goodwin] was conscious of the confinement or was harmed by it."
The amended filing included a request that the court grant Goodwin's petition for divorce since Victoria allegedly committed a "concert of action," which the documents specified as acting "with another … to commit a tort while acting in concert or pursuant to a common design."
Goodwin filed for divorce March 15, less than a week after Victoria, who married the paranormal investigator in 2022, was arrested March 6 on charges of soliciting to commit murder and conspiring to commit murder.
According to an arrest report from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department obtained by Fox News Digital, Victoria found Grant Amato, a prison inmate who allegedly agreed to arrange the murder, through a true-crime documentary that aired in April 2024.
Amato, with whom Victoria allegedly fell in love, is a convicted murderer who massacred his entire family over five years ago.
The documentary "Ctrl+Alt+Desire" detailed Amato's unhealthy obsession with an on-cam model, his theft of $200,000 from his family and the brutal murders of his mother, father and brother.
One month after the documentary aired, Victoria sparked a "pen pal" relationship with Amato, a former nurse who was being held in a Florida prison.
According to an arrest report, Victoria told Amato she and Aaron were having problems in their marriage.
"She further described being lonely and began connecting with Amato," the report states.
The pair communicated mostly through text messages, according to the report.
"Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce," Victoria allegedly asked Amato via text message.

Through the "Find My" application, Victoria was able to tell Amato of Aaron's exact location. Amato relayed this information to a third party who would "take care of the situation."
At the time, Aaron was on location filming his hit TV show.
"He's asleep right now in the hotel room," Amato allegedly wrote to the unnamed individual. "I need to know what's going on. Can I get an update? Was it done?"

The alleged murder-for-hire plot was uncovered after Florida corrections officers confiscated Amato's phone. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police were notified and moved forward with Victoria's arrest.
When arrested, Victoria denied plotting to have her husband killed and wanting him dead.
"She described herself [as] sometimes daydreaming of being in a different situation, but she no longer felt that way," the report states. "She also stated she did not remember sending those particular messages. Victoria expressed her feeling of wanting to be without Aaron and with Amato, which she described as fantasy and daydreams."

&Grateful Dead founding member Bobby Weir, 77, looks 'forward to dying'
Grateful Dead founding member Bobby Weir is one of the last men standing in his legendary rock band.
The thought of mortality has crossed Weir’s mind, as he’s seen many of his band members pass.
Despite having lived a life full of music and memories, Weir’s sentiment wasn't one of fear, but rather of acceptance.
GRATEFUL DEAD FOUNDING MEMBER PHIL LESH DEAD AT 84
"Every day, things change. I’ll say this: I look forward to dying," Weir, 77, told Rolling Stone.
"I tend to think of death as the last and best reward for a life well-lived. That’s it. I’ve still got a lot on my plate, and I won’t be ready to go for a while."
While Weir has showed no signs of slowing down, he witnessed several deaths of his band members, including bassist Phil Lesh and guitarist Jerry Garcia.
"I wish … well, Phil made it to his eighties. Jerry didn’t, and there was a lot that Jerry had to offer that he didn’t get to offer.
Lesh was one of the founding members and died in October 2024. He was 84.
Weir was famously the "little brother" of the Grateful Dead, as he joined the band at age 16.
In 1963, he met Garcia in Palo Alto, California, in an alleyway, according to Rolling Stone.
Weir is one of the band’s few remaining members, alongside drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann.

Before Lesh’s death, the four bandmates discussed reuniting in honor of the rock band’s 60th anniversary this year. Since Lesh’s passing, Weir is now unsure of a band reunion.
"We speak a language that nobody else speaks," Weir explained. "We communicate, we kick stuff back and forth, and then make our little statement in a more universal language."
He continued, "For us, it’s a look or a motion with one shoulder, or the way you reflect a phrase or something that tips off the other guys where you’re going with this. And then they work on being where you’re headed, getting there with a little surprise for you. That’s a formula that’s worked real well for us over the years, and there just aren’t enough of us left now to do that anymore."
However, this month, Weir returned to Las Vegas for another Dead & Company residency with 18 shows at the Sphere.
"That’s what I do," he said. "That’s what I’m here for."

Meanwhile, in October 2024, Lesh’s death was confirmed on his official Instagram page.
"Phil brought immense joy to everyone around him and leaves behind a legacy of music and love," his social media read at the time.

"When Phil's happening, the band's happening," Grateful Dead co-founder, frontman and lead guitarist Garcia, who died in 1995, once said of Lesh's bass playing.
The Grateful Dead disbanded in 1995 after Garcia's death, but Lesh continued to perform into his 80s, often with his son Grahame Lesh.

Lesh and Garcia first met in 1959, and after reconnecting in 1964, Garcia invited Lesh to join the group, then called the Warlocks. Garcia asked Lesh to play bass guitar, which he never had done before, according to Rolling Stone.

"But I won’t be doing any more fat roles," he laughed. "It’s too hard on the body and too hard to take off now. But damn when I look at these pics it’s just wild what the human body… can do."
Tatum rose to fame by starring in films such as "Coach Carter" and in the 2006 comedy "She’s the Man" starring Amanda Bynes.
While the Hollywood actor took on physically demanding roles throughout his illustrious career, Tatum put his physique to the test when he starred in the 2006 dance movie "Step Up."
JENNA DEWAN REVEALS WHY SHE AND EX CHANNING TATUM DECIDED TO DIVORCE
As Tatum played opposite his co-star Jenna Dewan, their relationship turned into an off-camera romance.
The couple tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed a daughter, Everly, in 2013.
Dewan filed for divorce in 2018. The actress revealed why she and Tatum called off their marriage in her 2019 memoir, "Gracefully You: How to Live Your Best Life Every Day."
"I’d come to realize the dynamic I was in wasn’t serving me nor was it serving my daughter," the actor-dancer wrote, according to People. "First and foremost, I had to accept the realization this isn’t working and had moved into hurting."

Tatum said that after their divorce he focused mainly on his daughter.
"I just dropped everything and just focused on her," he told Vanity Fair at the time. "And it was truly the best possible thing that I ever could have done. Because in the alone time that I have with just me and her, we’ve become best friends."
In 2021, Tatum sparked dating rumors with "Big Little Lies" actress Zoë Kravitz.
Two years later, the couple were engaged to be married. However, in 2024, Tatum and Kravitz reportedly called it quits after three years together, according to People.
&Gisele Bündchen stuns in swimsuit on romantic outing with Joaquim Valente after welcoming first child together
Gisele Bündchen recently soaked up the sun with boyfriend Joaquim Valente, weeks after giving birth to the couple's first child.
Bündchen, 44, stunned in a black bathing suit as she shared a kiss with Valente. The supermodel wore a black one-piece with a flowing cover-up tied around her waist.
The former Victoria's Secret model wore her hair loose and accessorized with black sunglasses.
News that Valente and Bündchen had welcomed a son together broke in early February, People magazine reported.
GISELE BUNDCHEN IS PREGNANT, EXPECTING BABY WITH BOYFRIEND JOAQUIM VALENTE AFTER TOM BRADY DIVORCE
The Brazilian model glowed as she and Valente enjoyed their boat trip.
"Gisele's doing well," an insider recently told People. "She seems very happy and content. She just focused on her family and rested for the first month after the baby arrived."
"She's slowly taking up yoga again now. She enjoys shorter outings with her older kids and Joaquim," the source added. "Her older kids are helpful with the baby. Gisele tears up when she sees all the kids together — she still can't believe she has a newborn. She feels very blessed."
GISELE BUNDCHEN PREGNANT WITH JOAQUIM VALENTE: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT HER BOYFRIEND
Bündchen also shares two children with her ex-husband, retired NFL champion quarterback Tom Brady. The former couple finalized their divorce in October 2022.
Valente first came into the picture as a jiu-jitsu instructor for Bündchen and her son, Benny. Bündchen's own interest in jiu-jitsu was originally spurred on by her son. Having been referred to the Valente Brothers academy through a friend, the supermodel told Dust magazine in 2022, "I wanted to steer my almost teenage son in the right direction. I thought he might be interested in this."
The Brazilian beauty started studying jiu-jitsu herself in December 2021. "Initially, I wasn't even considering it for myself," she said. "But when I brought [Benny] to the first class and started talking to Joaquim, I realized that it was much more than self-defense."

After spending time as friends, Bündchen and Valente's relationship reportedly turned romantic in June 2023.
"First, their relationship was teacher/student. Then… they became friends. And eventually, way after she was already divorced and she had no commitment to Tom Brady, something else started," a source previously told Fox News Digital of how their relationship progressed.
The source added that Valente is an extremely charismatic person with "a great sense of humor" who is "very intelligent, very loving, he’s just a good person," noting that "he loves kids."

The Brazilian supermodel began dating Valente roughly seven months after finalizing her divorce with Brady.
Brady and Bündchen announced their divorce on Oct. 28, 2022, in separate Instagram posts.
"In recent days my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage," Brady wrote at the time. "We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way. We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve."
Bündchen wrote, "The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always."

&Bruce Willis, wife shared ‘monumental highs,' 'devastating lows’ in 16-year marriage as actor battles dementia
Bruce Willis and his wife Emma Heming proved that their love only grew stronger over the years.
On their 16th wedding anniversary, Emma shared a heartfelt tribute to the man she calls the love of her life while Bruce continues to face his battle with dementia.
"Today marks 16 years with the love of a lifetime. We’ve shared monumental highs and devastating lows, and through it all, we’ve built something timeless," she penned on Instagram with a candid photo of the two, as the two embraced each other tightly.
"I’m so deeply grateful for every chapter I’ve had with him—and all the ones we’ll continue to write, in our language of unconditional love," Emma wrote.
In her Instagram story, the model shared a black-and-white photo of the couple holding hands, with her wedding rings on display and the number 321 tattooed on what appeared to be Bruce’s finger.
"Love you Emma you are magic 321 and papa he loves you so much," Rumer, Bruce’s daughter, replied to the social media post.
Tallulah, Bruce’s youngest daughter, added in the comments, "321. I love you guys so much."
Bruce shares three daughters with his ex-wife Demi Moore: Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.
After their divorce, Bruce married Emma in 2009 in Turks and Caicos. They married again six days later in Beverly Hills. The couple welcomed daughter Mabel in 2012 and daughter Evelyn in 2014.
While Emma and Bruce marked a major milestone in their 16-year marriage, their family additionally celebrated the "Die Hard" actor’s 70th birthday this week.
After Emma shared the sentimental social media posts about their wedding anniversary, she added a photo of a cake, as the icing read "Happy Birthday Bruce."

&Disney alum Sabrina Carpenter's sexy act shocks as she ditches family-friendly identity
Former Disney star Sabrina Carpenter shocked fans with her latest explicit dance move at her recent concert in Paris.
During every show on her "Short n' Sweet" world tour, the 25-year-old singer simulates a different sexual position while performing her hit "Juno." Carpenter shows off each move when she sings the lyrics, "Wanna try out some freaky positions? / Have you ever tried this one?"
On Monday night, Carpenter paid tribute to the City of Lights when she and two male backup dancers simulated a three-way sex act, known as the Eiffel Tower.
In a photo from the performance that the account Buzzing Pop posted on X, Carpenter, who donned a sparkly green and silver halter top with a matching miniskirt, was seen bending over between the two dancers who leaned into her and held hands above her. The position is meant to emulate the structure of Paris' famed historical landmark.
SABRINA CARPENTER BLASTS CRITICS OF HER SKIMPY TOUR OUTFITS: ‘DON'T COME TO THE SHOW'
The post divided fans when it went viral on social media, with some fans slamming Carpenter's performance as too inappropriate for the younger members of her fan base, while others contended that she had the right to evolve as an artist after transitioning to adulthood.
Doug Eldridge of Achilles PR weighed in on the challenges that child stars face when trying to shed their former images as they grow up. He pointed out that young performers often become tightly associated with the roles that made them famous and fans can have a difficult time letting go of the characters that they loved.
"There are two 'doomsday' scenarios for every entertainer: being typecast and not getting call-backs," Eldridge told Fox News Digital.
He continued, "For young stars (like from Disney's Mickey Mouse Club and others), getting typecast becomes an almost paradoxical situation: you eventually age out of the role that created your stardom, yet you are too closely tied to that character/role to reliably be cast for other roles.
"It's the entertainment equivalent of purgatory — you can't stay here, and you can't go anywhere else."
The PR expert explained that some former child stars and teen idols deliberately rebrand by embracing a persona that is the opposite of their established images, but warned that the move can backfire.
"Often times, you'll see a former child star try to forcibly break the Disney paradigm, either by doing racy photo shoots, or they try to force a rebrand that is a marked departure from their youth-based identity and presumed family-friendly values," Eldridge said.
"Unfortunately for the entertainer, this is rarely met with approval or support from the fan base that still sees them as the adorable young actor who delivered the memorable one-liners," he said.
Eldridge told Fox News Digital that when a rebrand is unsuccessful, the fault can lie with the teams behind the stars who failed to adequately prepare for their smooth transition to a more mature identity that will be accepted by the public.
"Sadly, agents and managers rarely establish a 'brand arc' for child stars to evolve into new roles, as they age up (or age out) in Hollywood," he said.
"Miley Cyrus is a good example of someone who managed to carve her own path and, in so doing, remain true to her original fan base, while establishing a brand-new audience that has embraced her as an adult. Again, simple, not easy."
While Carpenter's career has recently reached new heights, her provocative Paris stunt has drawn a mixed reaction from fans.
The ambivalence was evident in the replies to Buzzing Pop's post about Carpenter's performance, where X users expressed both outrage and support.
"I’m sorry but there are little kids in the audience and this is taking it way too far," one commented, while another added, "Promoting sex positions to a primarily underage age audience? I stan her but this isn’t ok…"
"'Blame the parents,' but why isn't there an age limit on her concerts? If it's not meant for kids, why are they still taking their money and letting them in? Just make it 18+ already," a social media user argued.
However, other social media users came to Carpenter's defense, noting that the two-time Grammy nominee should be allowed to evolve from the early days of her career.
Carpenter rose to fame at the age of 14 when she was cast in the Disney Channel TV series "Girl Meets World." She starred in the leading role of Maya Hart in the "Boy Meets World" spinoff from 2014 to 2017.
The pop star has openly embraced a much more mature image since becoming an adult. In August 2024, Carpenter released her sixth studio album, "Short n' Sweet," which topped the Billboard 200 chart for three consecutive weeks and has been certified platinum.
Many of the songs on the album feature overly sexual lyrics and racy innuendos. Carpenter's defenders on X argued that it is the parents' responsibility to verify that her music and performances are age-appropriate for their children.
"People who take their kids to a Sabrina Carpenter concert after she’s been VERY open and does this sort of position at EVERY concert that is VERY publically (sic) available to see have no right to say anything against it," one fan wrote.
"If you bring your kids to her shows that’s on you.. have u LISTENED to her music," another pointed out.
"Her music is not for children and if you as a parent don’t monitor what your kids are listening to that’s your fault," one social media user commented, with another adding, "Her shows and her music are obviously targeted towards women in her age range and up.. if you think she’s making music for children you’re weird."
Carpenter is far from the first Disney alum to face backlash after shifting away from their teen idol images. As Eldridge noted, Cyrus sparked controversy when the former "Hannah Montana" star debuted her song "Wrecking Ball" and its accompanying explicit music video.

"The Wizards of Waverly Place" alum Selena Gomez and "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens also came under fire when they starred in the R-rated crime comedy "Spring Breakers."
However, PR and branding expert Eric Schiffer shared his view that former child stars don't have the duty to maintain their kid-friendly images and target audiences indefinitely.
"Sabrina Carpenter's risqué performances aren't a betrayal of her young fans; they're an invite for them to grow up alongside her," Schiffer, chairman of Reputation Management Consultants, told Fox News Digital. "Sabrina Carpenter’s latest stage antics don’t just push boundaries — they bulldoze them. She traded Mickey Mouse carnage for shock, and it works."
"Disney stars don't sign lifetime contracts of innocence," he noted. "Sabrina proves growing up isn't a crime — even if she makes parents cringe and condemn her. In a deathmatch between the danger to Disney nostalgia and adult authenticity, Sabrina Carpenter chose authenticity. Fans and critics need to accept rebranding means childhood is gone."
SABRINA CARPENTER BLASTS CRITICS OF HER SKIMPY TOUR OUTFITS: ‘DON'T COME TO THE SHOW'
Schiffer added, "Childhood fame shouldn't be a life sentence; Disney stars should be free to reinvent themselves. Stars like Carpenter aren't betraying their past — they're reclaiming their future."
Longtime Hollywood publicist Steve Honig noted that artists should ultimately be in control of their own brands, though he warned that they should understand the potential risks and rewards that could come with changing their images.
"Performers who at one point had a young following should not be obligated to keep catering to a young demographic," he told Fox News Digital. "As these performers get older and their talent evolves, so does their audience."
CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER
Honig continued, "Performers have the right to decide the direction of their careers, just like parents have the right to decide if it’s appropriate content for their children. There are many performers who at one point were targeting a young demographic that have successfully rebranded and reinvented themselves with young adult and adult audiences."
"Artists need to establish and understand their brand, accurately communicate that brand to audiences and then those audiences, or in some cases the parents of those audiences, get to decide if it’s appropriate for them," he added.
"The artist, however, does need to understand there may be consequences to changing their image and, generally speaking, you can’t have your cake and eat it, too."
Carpenter previously defended herself against blistering criticism from British songwriters and producers Pete Waterman and Matt Stock.
"To see Sabrina Carpenter dressed as a little girl is quite offensive. She doesn’t need that," Waterman told The Sun in January.
"She’s got great talent and yet the whole of the industry, these girls come out in as little as possible because they know they’re driving young boys to their websites," he added.
While speaking with the outlet, Stock said he viewed Carpenter's sexual lyrics as "lazy."
"I would never try to write a lyric that said anything specific on a sexual level," he said. "You’d always be allegorical or allude to it somehow. So I don’t like that. I think it’s a bad show and it’s lazy. You’re going to grab some form of attention by doing that.""
Days later, Carpenter fired back at the disparaging remarks during an interview with the same outlet on Sunday.
"Female artists have been shamed forever," she said. "In the noughties it was Rihanna, in the nineties it was Britney Spears, in the eighties it was Madonna — and now it’s me. It’s essentially saying that female performers should not be able to embrace their sexuality in their lyrics, in the way we dress, in the way we perform."
"It is totally regressive," Carpenter continued. "It’s like those who want to shame don’t make comments when I talk about self-care or body positivity or heartbreak, which are all normal things a 25-year-old goes through. They just want to talk about the sexual side of my performances."
"My message has always been clear — if you can’t handle a girl who is confident in her own sexuality, then don’t come to my shows," the "Espresso" hitmaker said.

"I'm very strong," she said. "I have a very close relationship with my church and I love God. I believe that he will forgive your sins for anything, and I think that he's happy that I'm successful."

She doesn't often have time to attend services in person, but makes sure to dial in weekly to virtual services.

"I do a little video call because I'm currently living in Miami, but I used to live in Tampa, and that's my home church," she said. "I love that church so much and… my pastor that is there. I can't listen to another pastor."
She added, "It's so nice because I don't have to be there to listen to the Word of God. I can listen to it from my phone."
Rain also credited her strong morals and values for helping her stay focused on her future and quiet the outside noise.
"Having personal boundaries is the biggest thing," she said. "You have got to have morals or else you're going to get lost in the industry. That's just what happens. It's really easy to listen to what someone else says and listen to them and try to follow what they do, but you have got to stay true to yourself."

She added, "Essentially, there's just this big misconception on OnlyFans that you are labeled as a porn star, but I'm still a virgin. I keep my content on OnlyFans very reserved, and you can still make money from doing all of these things."
Before Rain became one of the most coveted influencers online, she was "barely making by" working as a server at a restaurant. She recently shared a video admitting she made $4 million from OnlyFans in one month.
"I was working long shifts just because I was just trying to make money," Rain said. "I was still living with my parents. I wanted to move out. I wanted to go do my own thing, and it just wasn't making me enough money. Like everything is so expensive nowadays, I'm barely making by. My sister was actually doing OnlyFans first and she kind of got me into it. I started with her and everything, and it just blew up, and it turned out into this."
What began as posting a few fun photos online has now spawned into a profitable business. Rain and a few of her friends live and work out of a home in South Florida — the Bop House, a money-making idea that formed organically.

"We always were hanging out, going on trips, like, just hanging out, being friends," Rain said. "So we had this idea, 'Why don't we just all move into a house together and all work together?' And that's exactly what happened.
"We all are there to help support each other. We're all there to help each other grow."

She added, "I honestly was a little nervous about it… moving into a house with eight girls was going to be tough, but it's so much fun. We're all there to just support each other, and we've built a community where our collaboration fuels our success."
When it comes to her critics, Rain takes a different approach than many to handling disapproval.
"I listen and I take in their criticism, and sometimes I don't believe it, but I'll just sit there and listen to them because it's nice to have someone to talk to and hear another view on what I'm doing, so I can work on being better," she said. "A lot of times it is good information, but if I don't think that I need that information, I'm going to sit there and listen to them anyway."
Rain added, "That's a lot of where the morals come back in to play. Like you have to stay true to yourself. And as long as you have that security, you're going to be good in this industry and you're going to be successful."
&Camilla 'hated the idea of being queen,' slammed royal protocol: book
Camilla once loathed the idea of being queen — and she had a few choice words for her husband.
The claim was made by royal author Tom Quinn in his new book, "Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants." Quinn spoke to hundreds of former and current palace staff members to learn what it’s like to watch over the House of Windsor.
Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. A spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital, "We don’t comment on such books."
QUEEN CAMILLA'S ATTEMPT TO BREAK ROYAL PROTOCOL 'POLITELY REFUSED' BY PRINCESS ANNE
"Camilla definitely didn’t want to be queen because she’s intelligent enough to know that once you become queen, or a senior member of the royal family, you are constantly under the microscope," Quinn told Fox News Digital.
"And I think Camilla, right back in the 1970s when she first met Charles, decided, ‘I don’t want to marry.’ Not because she didn’t love him. I think she would’ve liked to marry him.
"But apparently, she said, ‘I’m not going to be able to cope with being queen. I don’t want to be queen because it’s too much focus, too much attention on me.’ She enjoyed being able to have a private life away from the limelight. But Charles refused to give up."
A member of staff claimed to Quinn that Camilla "hated the idea of being queen." The unnamed aide claimed that Camilla would regularly say to Charles, "Can’t we get away from all this protocol? It’s all bollocks." But Charles, who "hates swearing," would reply, "You’re going to do it [become queen] for me, darling."
Quinn claimed to Fox News Digital that even after Camilla married Charles in 2005, she was always worried about taking on the title of queen. After long being recognized as a mistress, the now 77-year-old was eager to enjoy a quieter life without the scrutiny.
"Everything is focused on what you do," Quinn explained. "You’ve got the press, which, in the U.K., is sometimes very intrusive on the royal family. You’ve got the media in general, you’ve got the world’s press, television — everything is focused on what you do."

"[But] Charles continued the relationship, as it’s well known, through his marriage to [Princess] Diana," Quinn shared. "It was only because Charles wouldn’t give up that Camilla is queen. But I also think, as she got older, she realized that she could manage being queen. She could manage the lifestyle that Charles couldn’t escape. And that’s why, in the end, I think they did get together and marry."
But the king’s children, Prince William and Prince Harry, were said to not be keen on having Camilla as a stepmother, let alone a future queen consort. Quinn claimed in his book that the brothers "could be cruel about Camilla," nicknaming her "Lady Macbeth," "Cruella de Vil" and "The Witch of the West."
But their pleas for Charles not to marry Camilla fell on deaf ears.
"Many of the staff said to me that Charles’ reliance on Camilla is very much like William’s reliance on [his wife] Kate [Middleton]," Quinn explained. "Charles relies on Camilla for stability and warmth and all the emotional stuff that he didn’t get as a child. And that’s why he couldn’t give her up.
"They did brilliantly to turn Camilla from someone who was widely disliked, even hated, because she was seen as the other woman in Charles’ relationship with Diana. And now, she’s very well-liked, which was a very difficult thing to do. And it speaks volumes about her."
"In a way, it’s a very romantic story," Quinn reflected. "They didn’t give up on each other."
It took years for many in Britain to forgive Charles, the man whose admitted infidelity brought such pain to "the people’s princess" before she died in a Paris car crash in 1997. But the public mood softened after Charles married Camilla Parker-Bowles in 2005, and she became the Duchess of Cornwall.

Although Camilla played a significant role in the breakup of Charles’ first marriage, she eventually won over many Britons due to her down-to-earth style. She also softened Charles’ hard edges and made him appear more approachable.
In February 2022, Queen Elizabeth II expressed her "sincere wish" that Camilla be known as "Queen Consort" when Charles ascended to the throne. The queen, England’s longest-reigning monarch, died in September of that year at age 96.
Royal aides had suggested that Camilla didn’t want to be called queen and "intended" to be known instead as "Princess Consort," which would have been a first in British history. But the careful use of the word ‘’intend’’ led to the possibility of change later on.
When Camilla was crowned alongside her husband in 2023, she officially became known as "Queen Camilla."
Months before the coronation, Harry opened up about his stepmother.
In interviews leading up to the January 2023 publication of his memoir "Spare," Harry accused Camilla of leaking private conversations to the media to burnish her own reputation. He also accused members of the royal family of getting "into bed with the devil" to gain favorable tabloid coverage, singling out Camilla’s efforts to rehabilitate her image after her longtime affair with his father.

"That made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press," he told CBS. "There was open willingness on both sides to trade information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her on the way to being queen consort, there was going to be people or bodies left in the street."
Writing about his father’s wedding to Camilla, Harry says: "I had complex feelings about gaining a stepparent who, I believed, had recently sacrificed me on her personal PR altar."
Still, he says he wanted his father to be happy.
"In a funny way, I even wanted Camilla to be happy. Maybe she’d be less dangerous if she was happy?"
In his book, Harry said that both he and William had previously "begged" their father not to marry Camilla, worried she would become a "wicked stepmother."
Charles is said to not be taking any of Harry’s phone calls — and for one royal author, it’s easy to see why.
"When Harry branded his stepmother Camilla a ‘villain’ in his book and revealed that both he and William initially begged their father not to marry her, Harry committed what Charles regards as a cardinal sin," Christopher Andersen, author of "The King," previously told Fox News Digital.
"No one disses Camilla in royal circles and gets away with it — not even a son of the king," Andersen warned.
Anderson also noted that Harry’s explosive memoir was a major blow to his father.
"I think Charles could forgive Harry for some of the trouble he’s caused — including bailing on the monarchy… slamming his brother William for bullying behavior and suing for royal protection when visiting the U.K. But Charles is having a hard time forgiving Harry for taking what he sees as gratuitous potshots at his beloved Queen Camilla," he said.
"This still remains a thorn in the king’s side," Andersen claimed.
&Gene Hackman and wife Betsy's death investigation bodycam footage released: report
Bodycam footage of Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa Hackman's death investigation has been released, according to reports.
TMZ obtained two videos from the investigation. One video showed a Santa Fe County Sheriff's deputy talking on the phone with Gene's daughter about what to do with the remains of a dead dog found inside the home near Betsy's body. In the video, Gene's daughter, who TMZ identified as Elizabeth, told the officer to cremate the dead dog and bury her remains with Arakawa.
Gene's daughter asked the officer if the dog was the "older" one of the couple's bunch. It was later confirmed the dead dog was Zinna, who was 12. She was the couple's oldest dog. Elizabeth asked the officer if Zinna was wearing a collar and, if she was, if he could save it.
The video is dated Feb. 27, the day after Gene and Betsy's bodies were found.
GENE HACKMAN DEATH: COMPLETE COVERAGE
The second video obtained by TMZ showed a groundskeeper on the day the couple was found, seemingly distraught over their deaths.
"To see that, both of them … I'm sorry," the man said while getting emotional.
"I get attached to all these people. They treat me really well. And I met her [Betsy]. She was a sweetheart and to see them like that …"
Also in the bodycam footage is an officer sharing that he contacted both of Gene's daughters, Elizabeth and Leslie, after their bodies were discovered.
Local news station KOB4 reported it had received over an hour of footage from the Santa Fe Sheriff's Department of all the responding officer's bodycams. The outlet reported that most of the videos are from outside the Hackmans' home and interviewed the workers who found them.
The outlet noted a recent lawsuit by the Hackman estate attempting to block the release of bodycam footage.
"The Sheriff's office says that these fall outside of that scope of that lawsuit from the Hackman estate," the outlet noted.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department.
Lawyer Kurt Sommer filed a petition March 11 in state district court in Santa Fe attempting to prevent the medical investigator and the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office from releasing footage, according to the Santa Fe New Mexican.
The petition attempts to block the release of the couple's autopsy and "death investigation" until their deaths can be litigated, according to the outlet.
Sommer wrote that once the images are released "the bell cannot be unrung."
Sommer argued the couple's right to privacy outweighs the public interest in the couple's death. He cited Kurt Cobain's death in his petition and pointed out that a court refused to release the "death-scene" photographs.
"Undersigned counsel cannot think of respective harm that would come to the State and County offices from respecting the discretion of Mr. Hackman's and Mrs. Hackman-Arakawa's right to privacy," he wrote.
"During their lifetime, the Hackmans placed significant value on their privacy and took affirmative, vigilant steps to safeguard their privacy.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hackman were members of this community, not part-time casual residents. The Personal Representative seeks to continue to preserve the privacy of the Hackmans following their tragic death and support the family's constitutional right to remembrance and desire to grieve in peace."
At the time, Sommer had no comment for Fox News Digital.

The Associated Press reported that the petition detailed Gene and Betsy's discrete lifestyle in Santa Fe.
They "lived an exemplary private life for over thirty years in Santa Fe, New Mexico and did not showcase their lifestyle," according to the petition.
Gene and Betsy's estate is represented by Julia Peters, a partner and chief counsel for the Avalon Trust Co. investment firm.
According to the petition, Peters was Gene's third choice of estate representative. According to the Santa Fe New Mexican, Betsy was Gene's first choice, and his second choice, was attorney Michael G. Sutin. Sutin died in 2019.
The Santa Fe County Sheriff's Department confirmed during a press conference that Betsy likely died Feb. 11, and Gene most likely died one week later. Authorities later stated that officials had determined multiple calls were made Feb. 12 from Betsy to a medical center.
Betsy died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, New Mexico officials told reporters. Gene died from hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer's disease as a significant contributing factor.
Feb. 18 was the last day activity was recorded on Gene's pacemaker. The device noted an "abnormal rhythm of atrial fibrillation."
Gene's autopsy showed "severe heart disease, including multiple surgical procedures involving the heart, evidence of prior heart attacks, and severe changes of the kidneys due to chronic high blood pressure."

"Examination of the brain showed advanced Alzheimer's disease as well as blood vessel changes in the brain secondary to chronic high blood pressure," according to Chief Medical Investigator Dr. Heather Jarrell.
&En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson says she’s not homeless, chose to live in her car
En Vogue singer Dawn Robinson issued a statement clarifying she hasn't been homeless for three years, but she is "temporarily choosing car life."
Robinson shared a statement with People magazine, saying, "I want to make it clear: I am not homeless. I am temporarily choosing car life as part of my journey of healing and self-discovery.
"I took a risk and jumped headfirst into this lifestyle, and WOW, what a crazy, fun, sometimes scary ride it’s been. For me, failure is NOT an option. Being vulnerable sucks, but here I GROW. This is about embracing freedom, trusting the process, and finding strength in the unexpected."
Robinson issued a warning to her fans not to fall for fundraisers claiming to be raising money for her benefit.
EN VOGUE'S DAWN ROBINSON HAS BEEN LIVING OUT OF HER CAR FOR THREE YEARS
"I’ve been made aware that some individuals may be requesting funds on my behalf through platforms like Cash App, GoFundMe or other means. I want to be clear: I have not authorized any fundraising campaigns, and I do not want anyone — especially my loyal fans — to be scammed or taken advantage of.
"Your love and support mean the world to me, and I want to ensure that your kindness is not misused. Please be cautious and do not send money to anyone claiming to act on my behalf."
Speaking on her personal healing journey, Robinson said, "Sometimes in life, we end up in situations that we weren’t expecting. There’s something we need to learn or teach, but we’re too afraid to push ourselves out of our comfort zones to do it — so the universe does it for us! During this growth period, we either learn to trust ourselves or give in to fear and fail."
In a video posted to YouTube earlier this month, Robinson opened up about why she chose to pursue "car life" and explained how she hopes her vulnerability can help inspire others who are in dire situations.
"People are like, 'You shouldn't talk about it, because you're a celebrity, and what if they judge you?' So what? What if they judge me? Life is life. … Part of being human is being vulnerable," Robinson, who found success alongside En Vogue members Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis and Maxine Jones in the 1990s, shared.
Robinson said her aim is to "inspire" others and let people know they are "capable of anything, no matter what the odds are against you."
While explaining how she got to where she is, Robinson said she had been living with her parents in Las Vegas about five years ago. After being at odds with her mom, the singer made the decision to leave and ended up sleeping in her car for about a month.

A co-manager at the time urged her to move to Los Angeles, telling Robinson he'd help her find a place to stay. However, after eight months of living in a hotel, Robinson cut ties when she realized he was "playing games."
"Sometimes I think people want to trap you and keep you in a situation when you're vulnerable," she said. "So, I got out of there."
In 2022, Robinson packed her car up and drove to Malibu, California, to begin her "car life."
"I don't regret anything," she said. "That first night was scary."
A-LIST CELEBRITIES WHO WERE HOMELESS BEFORE THEY MADE IT BIG
Robinson quickly learned the ins and outs of car life, like "cover your windows" and avoiding talking to "certain people."
"I felt free," she said. "It was so different. I felt like I was on a camping trip. It just felt like it was the right thing to do.
"I'm learning who I am as a person, as a woman," she continued. "We say we can't do certain things before we even know that we're capable. … I'm glad that I made this choice because I needed to go through this fire.
"I wouldn't trade my experiences and what I've gone through for the world," she added. "I miss my family. I miss everyone I was connected to. But I needed to do this alone. … But I needed to do this for me. It's not easy for me by any means."
Robinson said she's "really proud" of how far she's gone and urged her followers to face their fears.

"I challenge you to do the things that are scary," she said. "People are going to call you crazy, and that's OK. You feel a sense of freedom, and you push yourself.
"Be spontaneous," she added. "Do the scary. F--- fear."
En Vogue, which was formed in 1989, earned six Grammy nominations. Robinson left in March 1997 but reunited with the group in 2005 and 2009.

&Brooke Shields once walked in on George H.W. Bush, wife Barbara in their bedroom
Brooke Shields once barged in on former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush in their bedroom after she believed their home was flooding.
On Thursday, Shields co-hosted "Today with Jenna and Friends" with the couple's granddaughter, Jenna Bush Hager, and explained the mortifying moment at the elderly couple's home in Kennebunkport, Maine.
About 15 years ago, the Bushes invited Shields to come stay at their home after they initially formed a "sweet" friendship in the '80s.
"I was doing a movie in Boston, and I get a phone call — doesn’t say who he is — literally says, ‘Excuse me, young lady, I hear you’re in the area. If you do not come to Kennebunkport, you are in trouble, young lady,’ and of course, that was Papa Bush, so I brought my kids and we stayed there," the model and actress said.
So, Shields packed up her daughters, Rowan and Grier, and headed to the Walker’s Point compound.
The trip was going smoothly until Shields noticed the living room "flooding" from the ocean water after putting her daughters to bed.

"I’m panicking, right? And I’m thinking, ‘Oh, my God, I gotta tell somebody, but nobody’s in the house!'" she said.
The "Blue Lagoon" star knew she had to go into the Bushes' bedroom to alert them before the damage set in.
"So, I go to the downstairs bedroom and, like, with the fear of God [in me]," Shields explained.
"They had their little TV dinners, their little BarcaLoungers, their little La-Z-Boys, and they were watching [‘Law and Order'] 'SVU.'"
Shields joked that once she entered the bedroom, she shielded her eyes because Barbara was "in her dressing gown."
"And I’m like, ‘I just want to tell you that I think the house might have flooded, but I think I got it,'" she told Hager of the moment, still covering her eyes as she recalled what happened.
Barbara wasn't alarmed and insisted Shields sit between their chairs and finish the TV episode with them.
"She’s like, ‘George, maybe Brooke can answer this question… Ask her, ask her.' He goes, ‘Well, who do you think did it?'" Shields said.

The "Pretty Baby" actress calmed down and enjoyed the rest of her night with the couple.
"I was like, ‘This is a moment of my life that was so special,'" Shields recalled.
Hager thanked Shields for the story about her grandparents. The Bushes died a few months apart in 2018.
"I never had a grandfather, and since I was quite young, he [George] would give me boy advice and be like, ‘OK, I like that one. I don’t like this one,’ so it was a very sweet relationship that I needed to have and hadn’t had anyone else," Shields said.
