Mel Brooks, 100, asked ‘Spaceballs’ team to film his scenes first due to age
Mel Brooks wasn't about to let his age stand in the way of a "Spaceballs" comeback.
Brooks, 100, had one very specific request before cameras started rolling – Don't wait to film me.
"We filmed 'Spaceballs: The New One' that Mel Brooks worked with the writers on. He’s a big influence in it. He filmed his part already before we shot," Daphne Zuniga, who plays Princess Vespa, told People during the "Melrose Place" 90s Con panel. "It was his idea: ‘You better film me now because I’m 100.’"
"So we did," she said.
The upcoming sequel will also bring back several familiar faces, along with a few new additions.
"It opens April 23rd of next year," Zuniga revealed. "Rick Moranis is back as Lord Dark Helmet, and Bill Pullman is back as my husband. His real son, Lewis Pullman, plays our son, the prince, and Keke Palmer is in it. It was great fun."

"Spaceballs," co-written and produced by Brooks, premiered in 1987. The comedy legend was 60 when the movie premiered and is now 100 years old.
The film follows Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) as they attempt to rescue Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) from the villainous Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) and President Skroob (Mel Brooks).
A parody of "Star Wars," the movie also pokes fun at "Star Trek," "Alien" and other science-fiction classics.

Moranis' portrayal of Dark Helmet became one of the film's most memorable performances – but according to Brooks, it came at a price. He previously told Fox News Digital that the making of the film quickly racked up a bill, all thanks to one star.
"Rick Moranis cost me a lot of money," Brooks explained. "When we were filming, the whole crew kept laughing at his antics and ruining take after take!"
"It all started with his entrance in his giant helmet and the line, ‘I can’t breathe in this thing,'" Brooks recalled. "His reading of it was so real and funny that everybody on the set exploded with laughter! I had to sternly caution the crew not to break up when Rick did his stuff, but it was hard because often I’d be the guilty one laughing my head off."
Nearly four decades after first donning Dark Helmet's oversized headgear, Moranis admitted that returning to the role felt like stepping into a time machine.

"Well, I kept having to pinch myself because I would look at Daphne [Zuniga] and Bill [Pullman] and George Wyner. Earl Sanders. And then there were all these young people," Moranis said during a panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, according to People.
"And I realized I was their age 39 years ago when we made this," the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" actor said. "And here we are now, and my kids are the age of this."
"I felt like I was in a time warp, but I was in that outfit and wearing the helmet," he added. "And it just felt very strange to be honest with you. But it started to feel really good and I really started to love it."
Former Disney star Erik von Detten sued for elder abuse after couple poured $2.1M retirement savings into gold
Former Disney star Erik von Detten is being sued by an elderly California couple who claim he convinced them to invest more than $2.1 million of their retirement savings in overpriced gold coins.
Sheila Greenberg, 85, and her husband, Norman Greenberg, 97, filed the lawsuit against von Detten, who is best known for his roles in Disney's "Brink" and "The Princess Diaries," and his former employer, Rosland Capital, in Los Angeles County Superior Court on May 11. The complaint accuses the defendants of financial elder abuse, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud and conversion.
According to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, the Greenbergs believe Rosland "designed in large part to appeal to senior citizens through their television and internet advertising, direct mail brochures, and high-pressure boiler-room type sales practices."
The Greenbergs claim they contacted Rosland in 2020 after seeing the television commercials promoting gold as a safe way to protect their wealth.
Once put in touch with von Detten, one of the company's top advisors, the couple disclosed that their combined traditional IRA accounts contained more than $2 million.
"Von Detten earned Sheila’s and Norman's trust. They believed him to be an expert and thus placed their faith completely in Von Detten to make the correct choices and recommendations and expressed as much to him," the court documents state.
On Oct. 19, 2020, the Greenbergs allegedly followed von Detten’s recommendations and purchased more than $999,000 worth of Lady Liberty gold coins. The lawsuit claims Sheila paid $599,654.83 for 797 coins, while Norman paid $399,519.09 for 531 coins.
"They believed that, however valued, Von Detten was taking care of them and the price they paid was a fair price for what they bought and the gold they purchased was worth the money they spent. Afterall, this was an IRA rollover. An investment intended to protect their hard-earned wealth for retirement."
The complaint alleges the coins were sold at a premium of roughly 60%. The Greenbergs claim they paid the equivalent of $3,009.56 per ounce when the spot price of gold was approximately $1,903 per ounce.

The lawsuit claims the couple lost more than $367,000 in value almost immediately after the first transaction.
The Greenbergs allege von Detten continued contacting them and "hounded" them to invest even more money. The complaint claims Rosland "likely" viewed the couple as a "whale" after learning how much money they had available.
On Nov. 5, 2020, the couple allegedly made another purchase totaling more than $1.14 million. Sheila reportedly bought 885 additional coins for $677,644.50, while Norman purchased 614 coins for $470,139.80.

The lawsuit claims the second transaction resulted in another immediate loss of more than $418,000.
In total, the Greenbergs allege they paid $2,146,958.22 for coins worth approximately $1,360,925. The complaint claims the couple’s entire traditional IRA accounts were rolled over into the gold investments.
The lawsuit also alleges the physical coins were never delivered to the Greenbergs. Instead, they were sent to Delaware Depository for storage. The couple claims they continued paying fees to maintain their gold IRA accounts and store the coins.
After the retirement accounts were "depleted," the complaint alleges Rosland pursued other sources of money. In August 2021, the Greenbergs allegedly used their family trust to purchase nearly $200,000 worth of additional gold coins.
The lawsuit claims they paid $135,487 for 109 PAMP British Museum Lewis Chessmen coins that were worth approximately $48,832. They also allegedly paid $64,300 for 50 PAMP F1 Abu Dhabi coins that were worth about $22,420.
GRANDPARENTS ARE IDENTITY THEFT'S BIGGEST PAYDAY
The Greenbergs claim they did not realize they had been overcharged until 2025, when they began looking into the value of their holdings. When an Advantage Gold representative allegedly suggested the company operated differently from Rosland, Sheila turned to AI to look into Rosland's business practices, a search that led her to uncover what she described as unethical conduct.
"By their conduct, Defendants took, secreted, appropriated, obtained or retained an unconscionable mark-up over the fair value of no less than $900,000 for a wrongful use, because they knew or should have known that doing so would likely be harmful to Plaintiffs," the documents state.

"Instead of helping them protect their hard-earned wealth, Defendants helped themselves to it. 49. In addition, Defendants committed financial elder abuse because they took, secreted, appropriated, obtained or retained Plaintiffs’ money with the intent to defraud."
The couple is seeking at least $900,000 in compensatory damages, double damages, punitive damages, prejudgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs. They have also demanded a jury trial.
A representative for von Detten did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Christina Applegate says she was misdiagnosed with MS and is now 'back at square one'
Christina Applegate is back at "square one" after doctors told her she does not have multiple sclerosis.
The 54-year-old actress, who was diagnosed with MS in 2021, addressed the surprising development Tuesday on her "MeSsy" podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
"This may come as great news, but to me, I’m back at square one," Applegate said while fighting back tears. "It’s hard to say that [my doctor] came into my room, and she said, ‘Congratulations, you don’t have MS.’"
"What does that moment feel like?" Sigler asked.
"I was, like, not happy at all," Applegate admitted. "Everybody else was so happy … You don’t get misdiagnosed and then all of a sudden I’m better."
"I haven’t gotten better, Jamie!" she continued. "If anything, I’ve gotten worse in some ways. So I’m back at square one that I don’t know what’s going on with me."
Applegate said her doctors are now working to determine what has caused her ongoing health problems and why she was diagnosed with MS in the first place.

"There’s a pretty damn high number of misdiagnoses with MS," she said. "So this is not a rare occurrence. It’s clear now that they’re finding something different. Something else is going on."
The actress also admitted that the news left her feeling confused and as if she had "let everybody down."

"It’s this weird feeling of like … I became this — you and I, the poster children for MS," Applegate told Sigler. "And all that I did, everything I was doing. I had a reason. I had a f---ing reason as to why my day sucked every day."
"And now I don’t have a reason, and it’s very unnerving, and it’s really confusing for me," she added.
Applegate also opened up about the toll her chronic pain and mobility issues have taken on her mental health and career.
"I’ve gone through a great depression because of it," she said through tears. "But you know, I lost everything. I lost my job. I lost — sorry. What do you say to someone who’s been living with this for six years? God, I’m so sorry, I get really emotional because it stopped my life."
Applegate clarified that the change in her diagnosis has not changed her physical condition.
"I still have to use wheelchairs when I go to the doctor’s office," she said. "I can’t walk from the car to the room. I’m still in this. Nothing magical happened when she said, ‘You don’t have MS.’ Nothing magical happened."
Doctor Marwa Kaisey, associate professor with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center department of neurology, said that MS misdiagnoses are actually "fairly common."
"We don’t have one single test for MS. It’s not like we have something like a pregnancy test that says, ‘Yes. You have it.’ ‘No. You don’t.’ It’s a list of criteria," Dr. Kaisey said on the podcast.
"Almost one in five of these people who’d been told they had MS, some for decades, didn’t actually have it. And a majority of them were on medication to treat their MS," she added.
Applegate first revealed her MS diagnosis on X in 2021.

"Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS," she wrote at the time. "It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition."
"It’s been a tough road," she continued. "But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a--hole blocks it."
The actress has been candid about how her health struggles have affected her life, including her ability to parent her 15-year-old daughter, Sadie, whom she shares with husband Martyn LeNoble.
"I want to take her [to school and activities]; it’s my favorite thing to do," Applegate previously told People. "It’s the only time we have together by ourselves. I tell myself, ‘Just get her there safely and get home so you can get back into bed.’ And that’s what I do."

Applegate said her physical limitations have also made her more determined to be honest about her life.
"My life isn’t wrapped up with a bow," she said. "People’s lives, sorry for lack of a better term, f---ing suck sometimes. So I’m being as honest and raw as I possibly can."
During a previous episode of her "MeSsy" podcast, Applegate discussed how her health struggles have affected Sadie.
"She didn’t know this. It was like losing the mom she had to this f---ing thing," Applegate said. "And the more she’s gotten older now, I think the more it’s hurting her."
"Mommy can’t do all the things that she used to be able to do, and I see it in her eyes," she added. "I see it."
Larry David saw OJ Simpson the day of Nicole Brown Simpson's 1994 murder: book
Larry David eerily crossed paths with O.J. Simpson on the day Nicole Brown Simpson was brutally murdered in 1994.
David, the co-creator of "Seinfeld" and creator/star of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," discussed the chilling moment in his newly released authorized biography, "Emperor Of Nothing: The Making of Larry David." The book was written by Blake J. Harris.

On the morning of June 12, 1994, David was eating breakfast at the exclusive Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles alongside his then-wife Laurie, newborn daughter Cazzie and fellow comedy writer Alan Zweibel. Zweibel's wife, Robin, was also at the table.
FORMER OJ SIMPSON ATTORNEY, LONGTIME FRIEND BOTH SUPPORT POSSIBILITY OF ACCOMPLICE IN 1994 MURDERS
Zweibel said that he will never forget that breakfast with Larry, or the date, "because that night O.J. Simpson killed Nicole [Brown Simpson] and Ron Goldman."
"[We] saw him in the dining room the day of the murder!" David said.
In the biography, Zweibel explained that he not only saw Simpson, but interacted with him twice that same day.
"We were having breakfast and all of a sudden I hear somebody say my name: ‘Zwa-bell.’ I turn around. It’s O.J. Simpson," Zweibel said.
He went on to explain how he knew Simpson. "I knew O.J. because I went to the University of Buffalo while he was playing for the [Buffalo] Bills," Zweibel began.
"He was like a god. And when he came to host ‘SNL’ [in 1978], I remember saying to Lorne, ‘This is my hero.’ So I spent a lot of time with O.J. that week. I wrote a lot for that show. And then in subsequent years, we had a mutual friend on Rockingham, and we all had kids around the same age, so we’d see each other at birthday parties and s--- like that," he continued.

Zweibel said that he also saw Simpson later that afternoon at his daughter's middle school dance recital.
"Our daughters were [both performing]. And on our way out, I again hear a familiar voice," he said.
"S---," O.J. said to Zweibel. "Twice in the same day!"
"Hey, Juice!" Zweibel replied.
Zweibel explained in the biography that he called Simpson by his famous nickname and told him that he had nothing new to share since he had already seen him earlier that day.
"Though, of course, [in retrospect] what I should have said was ‘Stay home tonight! Order in! Don’t go out!'" he said.
Simpson and Nicole married in 1985 and had two children, Sydney and Justin. They separated in 1992, and Brown filed for divorce after seven years of marriage.
In 1994, Brown and Goldman, her friend, were killed. Simpson was tried for their murders and acquitted in October 1995.
On Oct. 18, The New York Times reported that a mob-linked drug trafficker with ties to Simpson secretly became a jailhouse snitch and claimed to have information about efforts to dispose of evidence, potentially including a murder weapon that was never recovered.
The outlet said that Joseph Ippolito, a former cigarette boat racer, drug trafficker and restaurateur who knew Simpson, had told federal prosecutors he had information on the murder weapon. One has never been recovered.

Elsewhere in David's biography, he discussed the famous decades before "Seinfeld" when he was a NYC comedian. David was infamous among NYC comedians for walking offstage mid-set, refusing to perform if someone looked at their watch, yelling at paying crowds and needing bouncers to protect him from a "mountain" of a heckler he almost fought.

"I didn't react well to adversity, so I would just walk off," David said. "I was young. I had a bad temper. And my stuff wasn't very commercial. I couldn't really give [the audience] what they wanted. [Before each set] there was a better chance that I'd bomb than do well. And I just couldn't handle being terrible."
He continued, "Basically, if the audience didn't like me, I didn't see the need for me to continue torturing them, or them to torture me. So, I'd just leave. I guess the best way to describe me onstage was 'unprofessional.'"
David discussed his run-ins with hecklers and wrote that he was always smart about the fights he would have with audience members.
"I did have some fights with the audience, [but] they were really more arguments—I'd say something to them and then they'd say something back. I was never stupid about it, though. I always made sure I had the bouncers behind me any time I said anything," he said.

Before his career took off, David shared in his biography that he was voted "Least Likely to Accomplish Anything" by his peers in high school. He had a long list of bizarre pre-fame jobs — from carrying a bag of irregular bras down Broadway to driving a half-blind woman in a limo — all while violently rejecting his mother’s desperate pleas for him to become a postal worker.
"She wanted me to be a mailman. She wanted me to work for the post office. She was always begging me to take the civil service test," David said of his mother's pleas.
"Just take the test!! Take the test! What do you have to lose?" he recalled her saying to him.
But the comedian had a very logical reason why he didn't pursue postal work as his profession.
"I think I could have done the 'rain' and the 'snow.' But the hail would have done me in, you know? I'm not gonna be delivering in hail," David said. "I would have gone to the supervisor, 'I'm sorry, I can't deliver in hail. I know you got the big motto up there. But I'm not doing hail!'"

Princess Diana feared Prince Harry would ‘wither’ in Prince William’s shadow: expert
Princess Diana feared Prince Harry would struggle to find his place in the royal family while growing up in the shadow of his older brother and future king Prince William, according to a royal expert.
The late Princess of Wales’ concerns about her sons are back in the spotlight amid news of the upcoming three-part documentary "Diana Unheard," which will feature never-before-heard audio from roughly five hours of secret recordings that Diana made with her friend Dr. James Colthurst in 1991.
The documentary's producers told Deadline that the recordings, which were used in Andrew Morton’s explosive 1992 biography, "Diana: Her True Story," include the princess speaking candidly about her sons, William and the line of succession, as well as her troubled marriage to then-Prince Charles and other aspects of royal life.
While speaking with Fox News Digital, British royals expert Christopher Andersen shared his view that the recordings could reveal Diana's long-held concerns about the vastly different paths awaiting her sons.
"Diana worried from the beginning that Harry might wither in the shadow of his brother the future king," the "Kate!" author said.
"Even at a young age, William shared his mother's concerns and for the most part took great pains to spare his brother's feelings," Andersen continued. "It's very telling that, in his last conversation with Diana just hours before her death, William expressed his fear that a photo opportunity at Eton might leave Harry feeling ignored."
Diana died at age 36 in August 1997 after suffering injuries sustained in a car accident in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris, France. Her partner, Dodi Fayed, and the driver, Henri Paul, also died in the crash.
Hours before her death, Diana called William, then 15, from her hotel in Paris, according to Morton's biography. During what would become their final conversation, William reportedly told his mother that he had been asked to participate in a solo photocall to mark the beginning of his third year at Eton College and shared that he was deeply concerned the high-profile solo moment would make Harry, then 12, feel overshadowed and excluded.
According to Andersen, Diana had confidence that William, now 44, would succeed in his role as future king, but she was apprehensive over how the monarchy's heir-and-spare dynamic would affect Harry, now 42.
PRINCE GEORGE FOLLOWS PRINCE WILLIAM'S FOOTSTEPS AT ETON IN A CHANGING ROYAL WORLD: EXPERTS
"Wise, sensitive, an old soul — these were some of the words that Diana used to describe William," Andersen said. "She saw him as being mature far beyond his years. While Diana knew much would be demanded of William in the future, she never doubted that he would be up to the task."
"Harry was another matter entirely," Andersen said. "The world saw Harry as a charming scamp, and there definitely was that side to him, but Diana knew better than anyone that always being in his brother's formidable shadow could leave the Spare with deep-seated feelings of insecurity and gnawing self-doubt."
However, Andersen expressed his opinion that Diana had faith in the strength of the bond between William and Harry and would not have foreseen their future estrangement.
"Looking back, it's so odd to remember how close the brothers truly were," he said. "They had their moments, as all siblings do, but the boys were always so emotionally dependent on each other."
"Diana always felt that, whatever challenges they faced, William and Harry would weather the storm together," Andersen continued. "She viewed the brothers as a unit. As far as Diana was concerned, theirs was an unbreakable bond."
Royal expert Kinsey Schofield agreed that Diana did not fear that there would be a rift between the brothers but argued that the late princess worried more over William's burden as the future king than Harry's supporting role.
PRINCE WILLIAM, KATE MIDDLETON FACE 'SUSSEX CIRCUS' AS PRINCE GEORGE PREPARES FOR ETON: EXPERT
"Based on my research, Diana was more concerned about the pressures of royal life affecting her sons individually than the possibility of them becoming estranged," the host of YouTube’s "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered" told Fox News Digital.
"Diana understood that William and Harry were destined for very different lives," Schofield continued. "William was born to be king. Harry was born to support him. She wanted them to remain close because she understood the importance of William having someone he could trust."
"Prince William’s future weighed heavily on Diana because she understood the responsibility he would inherit," she added. "She knew that William would never have the freedom to simply walk away from his destiny. She spoke to him about the importance of finding a suitable and supportive partner. She believed in his leadership but worried about his reluctance as a child."
"Harry, on the other hand, had opportunities William would never enjoy. He could pursue his own interests, build a career around charitable causes, and enjoy a degree of independence that his brother couldn’t."
Schofield pointed out that Harry was once a favorite of the British public and celebrated for his achievements.
"He was enormously popular," Schofield said. "He had a successful military career, founded the Invictus Games, and was one of the most beloved members of the royal family."
"Harry wasn’t destined for failure because he was born second," she continued. "He had every opportunity to build a meaningful life within the institution."
"I think Diana would have been more concerned about William carrying the weight of the Crown than Harry having to share the spotlight," Schofield added.
The royal experts agreed that Diana would have been shocked and distraught over William and Harry's current estrangement.
"Diana would have been heartbroken, and it's hard for me to imagine that the split ever would have happened if she had been alive," Andersen said. "Things just wouldn't have gotten so out of hand."
"I think Diana would be devastated," Schofield told Fox News Digital. "Prince William and Harry shared an experience that very few people on earth could understand. They lost their mother in front of the entire world. That shared grief should have been something that united them for life."
Reports of tensions between the brothers first emerged in 2018, with Harry publicly acknowledging the strain in their relationship the following year when he said the brothers were on "different paths."
The divide widened further after Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced their decision to step down from their roles as working royals in January 2020. The two's relationship continued to deteriorate in subsequent years following Harry and Markle's bombshell 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the couple's 2022 Netflix series "Harry & Meghan" and Harry's explosive 2023 memoir "Spare."
However, British royals expert Hilary Fordwich cautioned against viewing Diana's decades-old concerns through the lens of events that unfolded long after her death.
"Hearing tapes today made back in 1991 though shouldn’t be taken as a current verdict regarding events and complicated results of events Princess Diana isn’t tragically alive to witness," Fordwich told Fox News Digital.
While Diana herself was known for challenging royal conventions and became increasingly more independent following her 1992 separation from Charles, she continued carrying out public duties and remained committed to many of the causes she had championed as a working royal.
Andersen and Schofield argued that Diana's rebellious streak does not necessarily mean she would have supported Harry's decision to leave royal duties and his subsequent actions.
"Diana definitely knew that Harry would have to forge his own path to some extent — certainly more so than William, whose role in royal life is preordained," Andersen said. "But I don't believe Diana would have approved of Harry abruptly bailing on the monarchy the way he did."
"True, Diana was a rule-breaker and a rebel, but she also had a strong sense of duty and of history," he continued. "Diana believed that Harry had an important role to play. Harry probably would never be king, but he was the son of one and, as such, had his own unique destiny to fulfill within the monarchy."

"Of course, Diana would have wanted, above all else, for her sons to be happy, but it never would have occurred to her that Harry would simply turn his back on the rest of the royal family," Andersen added.
"Diana might have sympathized with Harry’s frustrations, but I don’t believe that means she would have supported everything he’s done since leaving," Schofield said.
"Diana understood what it meant to feel trapped," she continued. "But Harry had choices his mother never enjoyed. And he exercised them."

Whatever new insights the recordings may offer into Diana's private concerns, Schofield said they could serve as a reminder of the priorities that shaped her life as a mother.

"Diana wanted both her sons to be happy," Schofield said. "She wanted them to be close. And she wanted them to grow into compassionate men who understood their responsibilities to others."
"If these recordings remind Americans of anything, I hope it’s that Diana’s legacy belongs to both her sons," she said.

Amanda Seyfried faces harsh criticism as viewers rip her behavior in Elizabeth Holmes documentary
Amanda Seyfried landed in the hot seat after her appearance in the latest Elizabeth Holmes documentary unleashed a wave of criticism online.
Seyfried surprised viewers when she appeared alongside Nathan Fielder in "You Can See Everything," a documentary that followed Holmes in the last 34 days leading up to the start of her prison sentence. Holmes reported to Federal Prison Camp Bryan on May 30, 2023.
Seyfried revisited her connection to the disgraced Theranos founder, whom she portrayed in Hulu's "The Dropout." The new documentary, released Oct. 16, explored Seyfried's evolving perspective on Holmes, including her reactions to Holmes' personal life and relationship with Billy Evans. Stepping back into Holmes' shoes for the documentary, Seyfried helped Fielder recreate conversations he had with the disgraced Theranos founder after she reported to prison.
Throughout the film, Seyfried grappled with her growing sympathy for Holmes, even as the convicted fraudster challenged the way the actress portrayed her in the Hulu series.
'YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING' REVIEW: THE BUZZY ELIZABETH HOLMES DOCUMENTARY IS WORTH THE HYPE
"Amanda Seyfried defending Holmes as a victim of male manipulation until Holmes accused her of participating in a sensationalized version of the Theranos scandal and then flipping out about how it is just TV was a [sic] truly gross," one X user wrote. "I hope she gets redragged for it."
Other viewers piled on, accusing Seyfried of changing her tune when the scrutiny shifted toward her own role in bringing the Theranos scandal to television.
"Lots of 'women protecting women' posturing from her until she gets accused of perhaps also causing Elizabeth some degree of pain, after which she immediately deflects and starts engaging in female emotional manipulation by accusing Nathan of covering up for Elizabeth based on her 'intuition,'" another user said.

Another viewer echoed the criticism, arguing that Seyfried's behavior only reinforced their negative impression of the actress.
"This is maybe the number one reason why I loved 'You Can See Everything.' Seeing Amanda Seyfried for her true colors in full hypocrisy was such a cathartic feeling," one user said. "It reminds me why we should never take people like her seriously."
Not everyone agreed with the harsh criticism. Some viewers came to Seyfried's defense, arguing that her changing opinion of Holmes wasn't a sign of hypocrisy but rather an essential part of the documentary's larger message.
"imagine walking away from this blaming amanda seyfried," a user wrote. "the point is, amanda herself changes her opinion on elizabeth holmes. so does nathan fielder. so does the audience. thats the literal point."

Another added, "At no point in the movie does Elizabeth Holmes reckon with how anyone other than her was harmed by the downfall of Theranos. Amanda Seyfried earnestly reckons with the consequences of her actions even when she is (correctly) pretty sure she didn't do anything wrong."
Fox News Digital reached out to Seyfried's representative for comment.
Holmes was convicted in January 2022 on four federal fraud charges for misleading investors about her blood-testing company's technology and capabilities. A jury found her guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and three counts of wire fraud, all related to defrauding investors.

She was sentenced in November 2022 to 11 years and three months in federal prison.
"You Can See Everything" examined Holmes' efforts to reclaim control of her public image after the spectacular collapse of Theranos, the blood-testing company she founded. As she prepared to begin her prison sentence, Holmes confronted the fallout from her fraud conviction, the intense scrutiny surrounding her personal life and the Hollywood portrayal of her downfall.
The film offered a closer look at the disgraced entrepreneur's attempts to navigate life beyond the scandal that destroyed her reputation, while exploring the complicated divide between how Holmes viewed herself and how the public perceived her.
Matthew McConaughey divides fans over independent voting plea ahead of midterms
Matthew McConaughey's call to rethink America's two-party political system has sparked a heated debate on social media, with some critics accusing the Oscar-winning actor of promoting a "privileged perspective" ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
On Sunday, McConaughey took to social media and challenged the long-held notion that voting for an independent candidate is a wasted vote, arguing that just a handful of independent lawmakers could dramatically shift the balance of power in Washington.
"They've been telling us for years that an independent vote is a wasted vote," McConaughey said in a video shared on Instagram. "Well, a great question for our times is, has that unwasted vote been working out for you?"

While the actor insisted he was not endorsing a particular candidate or political party, his message quickly drew criticism from social media users who questioned the timing of his remarks and warned against encouraging independent voting ahead of November's elections.
"This message is so irresponsible right now. Do the math. Willie Nelson would not be impressed," one user commented.
Another accused the Hollywood star of being out of touch with the challenges facing everyday Americans.
"I understand that you're in a tax bracket where government decisions don't affect you like it does majority of constituents, but this isn't the time my guy," the user wrote. "Our government is doing their damnest to silence the lower and middle classes. These are incredibly dangerous times and we've got to get this administration OUT."
A third critic slammed McConaughey's message as "ridiculous," arguing that his celebrity status and financial security bar him from facing the consequences of political decisions.
"This is a ridiculous, privileged perspective from someone with nothing to lose either way," the commenter wrote.
"Both sides absolutely have faults but one is dragging us deeper into cruel chaos, a broken economy, abducting our neighbors off the street, enforcing violence on its own citizens, stripping women of rights, trying actively to take away this vote you're encouraging people to utilize," the user continued.
"If you're gonna hop on instagram with your quick hot take this close to a crucial election period, at least say something substantive and try to stand on the correct side."
Despite the backlash, others rushed to McConaughey's defense, praising the actor for challenging political divisions and encouraging Americans to consider alternatives to the two major parties.

"The comments tell the whole story and prove his point to a T," one supporter wrote. "Politicization has warped our minds away from common sense and consistent, integrity based, civic duty or political participation."
LEE CARTER: WHY I BELIEVE COLLAPSING TRUST, NOT IDEOLOGY, IS RESHAPING AMERICAN POLITICS
Another simply declared, "McConaughey for prez."
"The problem is that you make too much sense," a third supporter commented. "The majority of people commenting are the ones that wouldn't stand with us in the middle anyway."
In his video, McConaughey argued that independent voters deserve a greater voice in Washington, pointing to the growing number of Americans who identify as politically independent.
"The number one political identity in America today is not Republican. It is not Democrat. It is independent," he said. "More of us than either party. So independents belong in the fight. Not as a protest, not as a spoiler, but as a real and potential winner on the ballot and considered seriously by us."

The "Dallas Buyers Club" star went on to argue that electing even a small number of lawmakers who refuse to align themselves with either major party could force Republicans and Democrats to negotiate more frequently.
"Here's the math that the parties pray you never do," he said, arguing that three to five independent lawmakers could become decisive votes in a closely divided Congress.

"Nothing passes without them," he said. "Every bill has to come through the middle, which means both parties would finally have to compete for the middle. Most of us."
However, the actor emphasized that his message was not an endorsement of the organization or any political candidate.
"I am not here today to endorse a candidate or a party," he said. "I am here endorsing two things. Fairness and reality."
As the midterm elections approach, McConaughey encouraged Americans to research the candidates on their ballots and consider whether independent contenders reflect their values.
"America's brand was never R or D," he concluded. "It's independent. Enjoy yours. Just keep living."
A representative for McConaughey did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Selena Gomez kicked her nicotine habit, but she's still living with the consequences.
Gomez, 34, explained her own nicotine habit left her voice forever changed in a warning given to fans.
"I'm not going to be able to change my voice," she said in a video uploaded to her Instagram Story. "I vaped nicotine, a lot."
The "Only Murders in the Building" star made it clear that her vaping days came at a cost. Gomez urged fans to take her experience as a warning, particularly those considering trying vaping for the first time.

"Everyone knows – that's somewhat vaped – nicotine is so hard to quit," she said. "And I think I just wanted to say, if you're going through it, or if you are even trying to vape, it's just not worth it."
"And it's changed my voice," Gomez added. "So, if you guys don't like listening to my voice that's totally understandable I don't mind, just don't listen to it. Just don't listen."
While Gomez acknowledged that her voice might never sound the same, she made it clear that she was focusing on the positive. The singer celebrated her decision to stop vaping and offered a message of encouragement to fans who were fighting to break free from their own difficult habits.

In 2014, the former Disney star entered a mental health facility shortly after she was diagnosed with lupus and later revealed she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

"My lupus, my kidney transplant, chemotherapy, having a mental illness, going through very public heartbreaks – these were all things that honestly should have taken me down," the actress explained in a 2021 interview with Elle magazine. "Every time I went through something, I was like, ‘What else? What else am I going to have to deal with?'"
The former Disney Channel star has made a habit of sharing deeply personal experiences with fans, using her platform to discuss everything from her physical health to her mental health.
Gomez released the documentary "My Mind & Me" in 2022. The film chronicled six years of the actress' life, career and mental health struggles.

Donnie Wahlberg praises God and pilots after plane skidded off runway at Las Vegas airport
Donnie Wahlberg is thanking God and the pilots who helped prevent a "serious disaster" after the private jet carrying him and seven others skidded off a runway at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
On Sunday, Wahlberg — who had just performed with New Kids on the Block during the final show of the band’s Las Vegas residency — took to social media to recount the incident and thank the pilots and God for keeping everyone on board safe.
"Getting a lot of concerned messages and texts about my flight's failed attempt at leaving Las Vegas this morning," he wrote in the caption. "I appreciate your concern and well wishes."

"I made this video for my friends and family after the incident, but so many of you all are my family too so I figured I’d share with you," Wahlberg continued. "Yes, it was me and my team/friends onboard the aircraft."
"It was a rather intense few moments, which felt like a few long minutes," he added.

"I’m just going to tell you these pilots saved our lives," Wahlberg continued. "God covered us. I'm not sure how many fences we avoided, we didn't avoid the last one."
Wahlberg also said the plane narrowly missed trucks, heavy equipment and dumpsters near the end of the runway.

In his Instagram caption, Wahlberg praised the pilots and emergency personnel who responded to the scene.
"Thankful to God, of course, and to our incredible pilots who did an amazing job of keeping us safe and avoiding a serious disaster," he wrote. "The airplane did take some lumps — but we did not."

Prince Harry risks 'lobbing a grenade' at Prince William as chance to heal yearslong feud emerges: expert
Prince Harry’s return to the U.K. could offer him his best chance yet to reconcile with his estranged brother, Prince William, but royal experts say a major obstacle remains in his way.
A source told People magazine that Harry's return to Britain presents the "best opportunity" to repair his fractured relationship with Prince William.
"It would never happen with him in America," the insider said. "This gives them [an] opportunity to try and mend that bridge."
But royal experts told Fox News Digital that Harry's reported plans to consider making a documentary about Princess Diana could threaten that opening, giving the Prince of Wales another reason to remain wary of his younger brother.
"I don't buy this," royal broadcaster Helena Chard told Fox News Digital. "Harry says [he and his family] relocated for so many different reasons, but the main reason is clear: it's the reported planning of the Diana documentary for the 30th anniversary."
"This isn't bridge building," she said. "This is lobbing a grenade at Prince William's feet. Prince William has said no to every Diana documentary offer. He doesn't want to speak so openly about Diana. And also, doing this would just drain him if he was going to do it as a working royal. He doesn't want to create publicity for Prince Harry's documentary, and he also doesn't want him and Harry pitted against each other as brothers."
WATCH: PRINCE HARRY'S POSSIBLE DIANA FILM IS ‘GRENADE’ AT PRINCE WILLIAM'S FEET: EXPERT
"Friends also say that next year is going to be tough enough," Chard continued. "Prince William just wants to let his mother rest in peace. So, he’s likely going to want to do something privately. Enough is enough, he thinks."
Fox News Digital reached out to Archewell and Kensington Palace for comment.
Several royal experts previously told Fox News Digital that the brothers have not been on speaking terms since 2022.
The Times recently reported that the Prince of Wales will not make a film about Princess Diana to mark the 30th anniversary of his mother's death in 2027, in part because he wants to avoid further conflict with Harry. According to the outlet, William has declined several offers to make or appear in documentaries about his mother.
Meanwhile, Harry is considering several projects to mark the 30th anniversary of Diana's death, People magazine reported. According to the outlet, the Duke of Sussex has been exploring how he can "most meaningfully" honor his mother and her legacy ahead of the Aug. 31, 2027, anniversary.
Although several ideas are under discussion, People reported that no documentary has been finalized or confirmed. Harry has reached out to family members and friends connected to his late mother, several sources told the outlet.
GET ENTERTAINMENT SCOOP DELIVERED RIGHT TO YOUR EMAIL BY CLICKING HERE
"If Harry wants reconciliation, can he not drop the film or give the proceeds to charity, which will change perception overnight?" Chard said. "I just don't see healing. I see the ruffling of Prince William's feathers. Prince William is entirely focused on his family and the long-term survival of the monarchy, but that's not to say that things can't change in the future."
People reported that tensions between the brothers deepened after Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties in 2020. The relationship further deteriorated following the couple's 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, their 2022 Netflix docuseries, "Harry & Meghan," and Harry's bestselling memoir "Spare," published in 2023. All three projects included personal revelations about life inside the royal family.
A source told People magazine that while Harry's relationship with his father, King Charles, is "better," the brothers have "no contact."
"I thought it would have perhaps eased a little bit by now, to be honest. But there has been no movement, especially on William's side," a source close to the family told People in July.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital he isn't surprised by William's apparent reluctance to reconcile with Harry.
"William deeply resents the way the Sussexes have monetized their royal connections," he said. "The Sussexes, as non-working royals, have the advantage as they are in situ and can do what they like. This does not mean that they will be accepted by the royal family in any of their activities in the coming months. … [But] it may be impossible to totally shut them out, given the international pull of their brand."

The insider told People magazine that the Sussexes' return to Britain could create more opportunities for the brothers to reconnect. Other members of the royal family, including Kate Middleton, could also encourage reconciliation, they reasoned.
"Catherine may step into that breach and try to help, too, because she knows how important family is and how important Harry is to William," the source said. "She would want to see that healed, as any wife would. This gives them [an] opportunity to try and mend that bridge."
However, several royal experts previously told Fox News Digital that the Princess of Wales has reportedly shown no interest in being drawn into the brothers' rift, preferring instead to focus on her family and supporting the monarchy.
For William, the biggest obstacle to reconciliation is reportedly a lack of trust.
"While Harry might wish to reconcile, the consequences of his divulging private family grievances, as well as monetizing it all can never be undone," British royal expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital. "... Reconciliation will become harder, if not impossible, upon William's ascension to the throne."
A source told People magazine that the king could play a key role in reconciling his sons. People reported that the monarch "welcomed the news of Harry's return" after being informed of the family's plans to return to the U.K. just days before they became public.

"He will want to see his sons together over time," the source said of the king. "This is the best opportunity we have seen in recent years. ... It’s wonderful for the king to have his son home and to spend time with his grandchildren."
Royal broadcaster Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital that the king could intervene by asking William to consider reconciliation. However, he warned that William "is too entrenched in his ways."
Whether or not Harry moves forward with a documentary honoring his mother's legacy, another potential test of the brothers' relationship could come during the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, England.
"The Invictus Games will be held in Birmingham in July," Fitzwilliams said. "It is a fine military charity, and the king is head of the armed forces. What happens will be very important indeed. And next year does mark 30 years since Princess Diana's tragic death. The way that it is commemorated could deepen the rift between the brothers, or it could mean a form of reconciliation takes place."
In a May 2025 interview with the BBC, Harry said he would "love reconciliation with my family."
"There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore."
Kevin Bacon pleads for help recovering missing FedEx package rerouted multiple times around the globe
Kevin Bacon was yearning and burning for somebody to tell him where his lost clothes were hiding.
Bacon, 68, pleaded with his followers to help him figure out where FedEx sent a package of clothing he sent last month to a location across the pond.
"Hey everybody, it's me. I'm over here, I'm working in Ireland," Bacon told his followers. "I wanted to pack light, so I decided to ship some old clothes over here to Ireland. I don't buy a lot of clothes. I've had these clothes probably since the '90s.
'FOOTLOOSE' STAR KEVIN BACON SHARES HOW THE MOVIE STILL HAUNTS HIM
"So I used a shipping service that I don't want to say the name, but it rhymes with BreadX," he said before explaining that he shipped a box of clothing on Sept. 26 from upstate New York to his filming location.
"It went straight to Memphis, and then from Memphis it went to France, and by Sept. 28, it arrived in Germany, and by Sept. 29, they shipped it straight to Israel, not Ireland – Israel."
The "Footloose" actor went on to explain that the package traveled from Israel back to France on Oct. 3, only to be sent back to Israel the following day. It traveled to Germany on Oct. 5 before being routed back to Israel on Oct. 6.

"On Oct. 10, that box of old clothes made its way all the way to France, and on Oct. 11 it arrived in the U.K., in England," he said. "Pretty close. Guess what? On Oct. 11, it left the U.K. and came straight to Ireland, where it has been sitting for five days, and they say they're unable to deliver it."

Bacon admitted he was frustrated with the situation and couldn't see a solution to his problem.
"I don't understand why. It's just sitting there," he said. "I can't get a person the phone. I have not been able to talk to anybody. I know what you're thinking: Just go buy some more clothes.

"And you're right. I could buy some clothes, but I want these clothes. I've had them since the '90s. These are like ... they have a certain sentimental value."
The "Tremors" star noted that the package contained "old boots, old jeans, old hats" as he wondered if he was "ever going to see this stuff" again.

"It's starting to get cold here," Bacon said.

Kristin Cavallari says she learned a painful $250K lesson involving her father at 22
Kristin Cavallari is reflecting on a painful lesson after lending her father a quarter of a million dollars.
During a recent episode of her podcast "Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari," in which the 39-year-old reality star shared her opinions on women and finances, Cavallari recalled how she ended up $250,000 "in the hole" following two loans to her father Dennis Cavallari that were never repaid.
"My dad came to me — I was filming ‘The Hills,’ so I must have been 22 — and asked for a large sum of money to borrow. Six figures," she said.
KRISTIN CAVALLARI ADMITS HER KIDS FLY COACH WHILE SHE SITS IN FIRST CLASS
"And I was making great money at the time, but it’s still — I’m 22," Cavallari continued. "Six figures is a big deal for me."
"But I lent it to him, and he promised me he would pay me back," the Uncommon James founder remembered. "He probably said six months, and he was going to give me interest on top of it. And, you know, well, I didn’t get paid back. And instead, he asked to borrow more money, another six-figure number."
Cavallari said that she confronted Dennis about not repaying the first loan but ultimately relented.
"I said to him, ‘You haven’t even acknowledged the first payment, and now you want more money?’" she recalled. "But because I’m such a f-----g sucker — or I was at the time — I lent him more money."

"I didn’t know how to set boundaries in my early 20s," she admitted. "I’ve learned that. You know, it would be a very different conversation probably today, but it’s the lending-money-to-people thing."
"When you have money, it’s almost like people expect it," Cavallari continued. "And you are in no way, shape or form required or obligated to lend anybody money, especially if you’ve worked your f---king tail off for that money."

"I can’t imagine going to my kids when they’re 22 and asking for that kind of money," she said. "I guess I understand that he didn’t have a lot of options. But I don't know."
"And also my relationship with my dad is very complicated," Cavallari continued. "So there are other layers to it. But for the purpose of this conversation, I just think you’re allowed to do what you want to do with your money."
Cavallari shared a clip from the episode on Instagram, emphasizing the importance of financial literacy for women.
"We’re talking all things MONEY this week!!" she wrote. "I’m over money being a taboo topic for women. We’re talking financial independence, the mistakes I’ve made, and everything I’ve learned along the way. If you wanna chase the bag, this one’s for you."
Cavallari previously discussed her difficult relationship with Dennis and the unpaid loans during a July appearance on the "Aspire with Emma Grede" podcast.
The "Balancing in Heels" author shared that she eventually came to terms with the financial loss.
"I've had to grapple with it, you know, and I've ultimately put it to bed and made peace with it," she said. "I think at the time, I didn't know how to say no to my dad. That's also been sort of like a big life lesson for me. I mean, I've ultimately cut my dad out of my life."

"So I really figured out how to say no to him," Cavallari continued. "But it was really hard for me when I was younger. And so, that's probably like the biggest thing that stands out in my mind in terms of how you think about teaching your kids about money."
In June 2025, Cavallari reflected on cutting ties with her father after claiming that he "traumatized" her children.
"I always had a rough relationship with my dad," she said during an appearance on the "Boyfriend Material" podcast.

"He crossed the line with one of my boys, and that's a dealbreaker for me. Especially when he had zero accountability, no apology. Like, he traumatized my kids, and I have no room for that in my life. And so, that was it," she continued, without detailing what took place.

Cavallari said she hasn't spoken to her father in roughly three years. According to "The Hills" star, her father never tried to make amends after crossing the line with her son.
"To be honest with you, as a mom, if I had a kid, and I really f----- up with my kid, and they wanted to cut me out of their life, I would do everything imaginable to not let that happen. I would be like I am so f------ sorry, showing up at your house, like doing everything imaginable. And my dad, in a lot of ways, was like, ‘OK.’"

During a recent appearance on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast, the 47-year-old actor recalled how he pushed his body to its limits for his transformation into the Beast in 2019's "Glass" after first recovering from a serious infection and collapsed lungs.
"I'd actually been in hospital and I had a lung puncture because… they saw a shadow in my lung, so they wanted to biopsy it to see if it was cancer, which it wasn't, which was great," McAvoy said.
"But that was botched, and I nearly died," he continued. "I was at home two days later and my lungs just collapsed in bed one night, and I was on my own as well, so it was crazy."

The "X-Men: First Class" star said he spent two or three weeks in the hospital while doctors worked unsuccessfully to clear his lungs.
"They tried everything to clean out," McAvoy recalled. "Nothing was working. So, they were like, 'We're going to need to cut you open big-style. Go in with like soapy, like dish soap basically, and just like clean you out, scoop it all out.'"
McAvoy recalled that after his medical ordeal, he underwent an intense process for the next four or five months as he bulked up to reprise his role in "Glass." In the M. Night Shyamalan-directed movie, the actor portrayed Kevin Wendell Crumb, who suffers from severe dissociative identity disorder (DID) with 24 distinct personalities.

McAvoy first played Wendell in 2016's "Split," which was the sequel to 2000's "Unbreakable." In "Split," Wendell's 24th personality "The Beast," who possesses superhuman strength, speed, durability and pain suppression, became the central threat after emerging toward the end of the film.
"Unlike ‘Split,’ I was the Beast, like most of the movie," McAvoy recalled. "So I was like, 'I'm really going to need to do the real thing. I'm going to need to go for it.'"

"I remember saying to [Shyamalan] like, ‘You’re going to need to get me a trainer,'" he said.
McAvoy explained that Shyamalan offered to hire a trainer from "the local gym," but he rejected that idea.

McAvoy said he had worked with trainers from local gyms before but needed someone who could transform his physique into that of a figure from Greek mythology.
"The guy that worked with me was amazing," he added. "He didn't move in with me, but he was just with me a lot and kind of regulated what I ate and trained me just right."

"For the first four weeks, he rehabilitated me. I could walk, but I couldn’t run, couldn’t cycle, couldn’t jog," McAvoy recalled. "So he did a lot of rehabilitation and, sort of, functional movement, and then put the pounds on me really fast."
McAvoy recently claimed that he was bullied on the set of the hit HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers."

While recently appearing on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," McAvoy was asked to rate his experience working on different projects, and when he was shown a picture of the show's cast, he recalled that one of his co-stars organized a group to mock him on set.
"On my first day on set, there was a ton of actors," he began. "It was one of those scenes with everybody in it, and we’re all at a bar, and I had a scene. And all these guys were in it for nine months, 10 months, and they get one line in one episode, and one line 10 episodes later. They were all pissed. I come in for one episode, and I’ve got an arc and scenes. I’ve got tons of lines."

"So, one of the guys in that picture decided to bully me on my first day as a professional actor out of acting school," he said. "He got him and his buddies to just stand pointing at me and laugh at me for like three minutes."
While he didn't name names, the photo featured Donnie Wahlberg, Kirk Acevedo, Scott Grimes, Neal McDonough, Adam James, Frank John Hughes, Philip Barantini and Ross McCall.
McAvoy added that not everyone on set participated in the bullying, saying Dexter Fletcher and Robin Laing "took me aside, and they were like, ‘Come hang with us, man.'"

"I don’t have the words," Kaia wrote. "And maybe the tiny mercy is that we didn’t need them all along. Words fail and words subtract and words summarize and words always lack truth."
"You know how much i loved being your sister: it has always been, and will forever be, my favorite thing about myself. i came into this world with a white-knuckle grip around you. i had more love for you than i knew what to do with. and now that it has nowhere obvious to go, i’m certain it’s going to swallow me whole."
"you believed — always believed — in people. you met cruelty not with anger, but with confusion. and curiosity. you believed people were inherently good because, presley, you are inherently good."
Kaia recalled being scared to get her ears pierced when the two were younger.
"i got scared before getting my ears pierced, so you went first. you always went first. but when i held the earring they took from your body, all i could think was: that belongs to you."
"and i really f—ing wish you hadn’t gone first this time."
In another passage, Kaia said she was still learning how to be Presley’s sister "in a world that I can’t reach for you in."
"I don’t know how to do that yet," she wrote.
She ended the tribute with a series of heartbreaking declarations.
"My darling brother. I do adore you," Kaia wrote. "I love my brother. My brother is dead."
"And this party sucks so bad without you, prez," she added.

GEORGE CLOONEY RUSHES TO RANDE GERBER AND CINDY CRAWFORD'S SIDE AFTER SON PRESLEY'S DEATH
Months before his death, Presley Gerber shared a raw look at his battle with addiction and the treatment he hoped would help him find his way back to himself.
In March, the model posted a video of himself preparing to undergo an "ibogaine flood dose," a psychedelic treatment, at a wellness clinic in Cancún, Mexico.
According to Stanford Medicine, ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychedelic derived from the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga shrub. It has "gained interest from the medical and scientific communities for its potential to treat opioid and cocaine addiction, and research has suggested that it increases signaling of several important molecules within the brain, some of which have been linked to drug addiction and depression."
The treatment is legal in some countries, but not in the United States.
"Quiet moment before everything changed," Presley Gerber wrote in the Instagram caption. "I was absolutely terrified, and I knew I would be again if I ever had to face something like this."
Gerber said letting go of control was difficult, but he trusted "there was something bigger than me guiding it."

"I knew why I was there. I faced what I had been running from, and somewhere in all of it, I started finding my way back to myself," he wrote.
He also said he was "praying it’s the last time" he would need to return for treatment.
Presley Gerber’s post was one of several instances in which he publicly documented his recovery journey. In recent years, he had spoken candidly about depression, panic attacks, addiction and the challenges of seeking treatment.
During a 2023 episode of the "Studio 22" podcast, Presley Gerber discussed his experiences with depression and other mental health challenges.
"[Mental health] is an issue. It is such a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s so much to it," he said.
"That’s really what I want to do is help people, whether you’re depressed, you’re struggling with something that is having a negative effect on your body," he continued. "I mean it could be anything, and there’s no judgment."
Gerber said he hoped his experiences could help other people avoid making similar mistakes.
"I’ve seen a lot of stuff, and I’ve learned a lot of things," he said. "What I hope I can do is have made the mistakes for some other people, so they don’t have to make the same mistakes that I made."
He also explained why he wanted to be open about his mental health journey.
"Having struggled with mental health, depression and some other things that come along with that, I think that whether I help one person or a hundred people get out of that place that I was in at one point in my life, that’s all I need to do," Gerber said.

Courteney Cox proves age is just a number.
During a recent trip to Hawaii to celebrate her friend, Jennifer Meyer's wedding, the 62-year-old actress was spotted enjoying a day at the beach.

Cox has shared how she manages to stay fit as she gets older, telling Marie Claire in September 2022 that she takes vitamins in the mornings, in addition to drinking "the cucumber, pineapple, ginger, and lemon thing."
"I play tennis twice a week. I used to box twice a week, but my left knee is hurt," she said about her fitness routine. "I also do pilates once a week. As I get older, I realize it's more important for me to do weights. It’s amazing how I used to be really muscley but not so much anymore."
She later gave fans a glimpse of her workout routine in an Instagram video in July 2024, which showed her running on a treadmill, pull-ups, squats and crunches.
The "Friends" star was also seen enjoying her summer while on a luxury yacht off the Spanish island of Mallorca with her longtime friend, Jennifer Aniston, and other actors, including Judd Apatow, Leslie Mann and Pedro Pascal.

Val Chmerkovskiy suspended from 'Dancing With the Stars' over Will Smith Oscars slap reference
Val Chmerkovskiy has been suspended from "Dancing With the Stars" after appearing to reference Will Smith’s infamous Oscars slap in a since-deleted social media post defending his wife, fellow pro dancer Jenna Johnson.
The professional dancer, 40, will miss Tuesday’s "Dedication Night" episode, marking the first known suspension of a professional dancer in the show’s history, according to ABC.
BBC Studios, which produces the ABC dance competition, confirmed the disciplinary action on Saturday.
"The well-being of everyone who works on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ is non-negotiable," the company said in a statement. "Val’s social media post was inappropriate and does not reflect the values or standards expected of anyone connected with the show. As a result, he will not participate in next week’s show."

The controversy began after Carrie Ann Inaba criticized Johnson and her celebrity dance partner, actor Harry Shum Jr., during "Super Bowl Night" last week. Inaba called out a lift in the couple’s samba routine and even read the definition of a lift during her critique.
Val, who is married to Johnson, appeared to defend her in a TikTok post that read, "You almost saw the Fresh Prince enter the ballroom last night." The comment was widely viewed as a reference to Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock during the 2022 Academy Awards.
The post was later deleted, and Val apologized to Inaba publicly and privately.

"In a moment where my instinct was to defend my wife, I made a poor decision to reference a meme to ‘keep my wife’s name’ out of the conversation, without stopping to think through what else that reference could imply, which was genuinely never my intention," he wrote on his Instagram Stories.
"Carrie Ann certainly didn’t deserve to get caught in the middle of my bad judgment, and I hate that she was," he added.
Val also said he did not want the controversy to overshadow the upcoming episode or distract from his celebrity partner, Jenna Dewan.
"The last thing I want is to become a distraction from an important week or from the incredible work my dance partner Jenna Dewan is putting in," he wrote. "Please send Carrie Ann, Jenna, and the whole ‘DWTS’ family lots of love during Dedication Night. I’ll be watching and cheering everyone on!!"
Dewan will temporarily dance with pro Alan Bersten, who was eliminated from the competition during Week 2 alongside his celebrity partner, Giada De Laurentiis.
Jana Kramer says Los Angeles priced her out of the childhood she wanted for her kids
Jana Kramer is opening up about not being able to afford to give her children the life she wanted for them.
During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the 42-year-old actress spoke about her new film, "The One," and how moving to Nashville, Tennessee has allowed her to give her kids the childhood she had.
"I remember being in Studio City with the two kids, and we couldn't afford to have a bigger place with a bigger backyard and neighborhoods like that. Again, we just couldn't afford certain neighborhoods and, for me, Tennessee has just always been a place that every time I land, my nervous system just like relaxes, it feels calm," she said.
As someone who grew up in the Midwest, she "struggled" with the idea that some of her "greatest memories as a child" included running around her "neighborhood and just going from friend's house to friend's house," and staying out playing "until the sun went down."
After moving to Tennessee, she said it now brings her joy to watch her children having a similar childhood, spending their days "on their bikes and going to their friends houses," noting "it just makes me feel like home."
"I love it here. You can always go back," she added. "You can always go to Hollywood, but things have changed so much with self-tapes, which I actually don't love, but you can. It's a plane away."

The "One Tree Hill" star explained that while she knows many people who are raising their children in Los Angeles, and "that's amazing for them," she enjoys the "totally different life" in Tennessee.
She attributes her affinity towards Tennessee to her own upbringing in Michigan, noting she values how she was raised, "that I just really wanted that same upbringing for my kids."

The actress shares two children with her ex-husband Mike Caussin – Jolie and Jace – and a son, Roman, with her husband Allan Russell.
Kramer's latest film, "The One," tells the story of an 18-year-old navigating through homelessness after aging out of the foster care system.
"I remember reading the script and just, I love a complicated story, you know, I think it's always fun to play those roles because life is complex," she said. "But I loved the story behind it. I loved the faith element. It wasn't completely thrown in your face, but it was a beautiful thread throughout the movie. And it just had a lot of heart to it. And so I felt that in the movie, and then I felt that pain that everyone was going through. And so, I just really wanted to be a part of telling that story."

The actress shared that the movie is "shedding light" on this issue, noting it was "heartbreaking" to see the character portray the feeling of "not having a home base" and living with the idea that at "any second the rug can be pulled from underneath them."

"I just… I can't imagine that as a kid," she said. "It's like I think about my kids, and it makes me sad to think about. Them not feeling safe or them being put into unsafe homes because our job as parents is to protect them. And it makes me really sad that, some kids in the foster system don't get placed into safe homes and those that have to hop around."
