Donnie Wahlberg’s a divorced man, which might be a shocking thing for some to learn about Jenny McCarthy’s beloved.

The boy band heartthrob-turned-Blue Bloods star has always been careful about keeping certain aspects of his private life away from the public eye.

As a result, even diehard fans might not be clear about the details of Donnie’s family situation.

Is Donnie Wahlberg Divorced?

These days, Donnie is married to Jenny McCarthy, and by all accounts, the relationship is a healthy and stable one.

But the road to “happily ever after” was not without its twists and turns.

In fact, both Jenny and Donnie have been divorced.

As People reports, Donnie married Kim Fey in 1999, and the couple welcomed two children together.

However, in 2008, they decided to go their separate ways, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Following a messy legal battle in which Kim requested sole custody of the kids, the divorce was finalized in 2010.

Court files were sealed, so we still don’t know how the judge ruled.

The exact cause of the split remains unclear. But at the time, many observers speculated that Donnie’s friendship with Canadian model Michelle Tomlinson was a factor.

Donnie and Jenny’s Second Act

Whatever the case, it wasn’t long before Donnie fell for his second wife.

It happened in 2012 when Donnie and Jenny both appeared on Andy Cohen‘s Bravo talk show, Watch What Happens Live.

Donnie recalled their first meeting while participating in Instagram’s “first photo challenge” in 2020.

“This was our first meeting at @bravoandy @bravowwhl — where Andy implored me to ask Jenny out,” he captioned a throwback pic of the future couple.

“I didn’t … however, we’d meet again a year later at her talk show @vh1 @jennymccarthy. And the rest, as they say, is history.”

Jenny later told the tale of Donnie’s fateful appearance on her talk show.

“I went a year without dating anybody,” she told New York’s 95.5 PLJ radio (via E! Online).

“So I don’t know if I was really randy or really ready. But he was there, and I gave him my phone number. I’ve never given a guy my number, but I was interested.”

These days, when they’re not on either coast for work, Donnie and Jenny reside in her native Illinois with their happy blended family.

Now that Blue Bloods has come to an end, Donnie is set to star in a Boston-based spinoff.

But no matter where life takes him, he’ll have Jenny by his side.

We have tragic news to report out of Hollywood today.

Kelly Lee Curtis — the sister of Jamie Lee Curtis — has passed away at the age of 69.

News of her death comes courtesy of a social media post from Jamie:

“A warm aloha to my older sister, Kelly Lee Curtis. She passed away this morning. In her home. In nature. At peace,” Curtis wrote, adding:

“She was my first friend and lifelong confidant. She was jaw droppingly beautiful, and a talented actress. She played a mean game of hearts, collected turtles, loved her family, nature, music, thrifting, travel, Facebook, and Pokémon Go.

“She was proud of her Danish roots and Hungarian Jewish ancestry and was a devoted American patriot.

“She will be remembered for her loving generosity, fierce opinions, endless curiosity, unique style, and her powdered, almond, crescent cookies at Christmas, hence her name, Auntie Cookie.

“Kelly always signed off any message or fare thee well with a Hungarian blessing…

“Isten Veled, God is with you. Isten Veled to my sister of the sun and the moon, my Tai. I’ll see you on down the line,” Jamie concluded.

Jamie’s post has received an outpouring of support from fans and many of her famous friends.

Kelly racked up dozens of film and television credits over the course of her career, including a recurring role on the TV series The Sentinel.

She also appeared in the classic comedy film Trading Places, alongside Jamie.

No cause of death has been announced at this time.

Our thoughts go out to the entire Curtis family as they mourn their beloved Kelly.

Over the Memorial Day long weekend, Donald Trump Jr. married Bettina Anderson.

It was a relatively intimate ceremony in the Bahamas. Famously, even the father of the groom did not attend.

Now, a report sheds light upon their family planning … and it may come sooner rather than later.

Is Bettina already pregnant?

‘Both of them have told friends that they plan on having kids together’

The Daily Mail reports that Don Jr and Bettina Anderson are excited to start their family.

They plan to get to work on it pretty much right away.

“Both of them have told friends that they plan on having kids together,” an inside source dished.

“I’ve never seen Don so happy on a personal level,” the insider commented.

The source added: “It’s pretty clear to those of us who know him well, that Bettina is a perfect match for him.”

“They both have very laid back and easy-going personalities that click really well,” the insider then claimed.

It is good to remember that who people are as public figures tends to vary from who they are in private.

According to the source: “You can tell that they genuinely love being around each other.”

Another insider dished: “Bettina wants to start her own family, no question about it.”

That source then added: “She’s really looking forward to that prospect.”

There’s a logistical element to this

Realistically, Bettina is 39 years old.

Pregnancy is possible at that age. But it would be a geriatric pregnancy.

Someone who is 39 years old might attempt to conceive naturally.

However, IVF or even a gestational carrier seems like a logical choice.

And, given that she’d already be looking at giving birth as a 40-year-old, it’s probably smart to aim for that sooner rather than later.

Given how much Don Jr. and Eric have reportedly made off of their father retaking power, paying for fertility treatments shouldn’t be an issue.

If they’re hoping for a natural conception, it can happen.

But if they’re serious about having kids together, they’ll consider other options.

In fact, they probably have.

Plenty of people have private discussions without telegraphing their plans.

Ever since Netflix’s The Crash made her infamous overnight, Mackenzie Shirilla has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

First, there were reports of Mackenzie’s texts to Dominic Russo ahead of the vehicular homicide that landed her behind bars.

Then there was the news about Shirilla’s behavior behind bars.

Yes, according to multiple reports, the 21-year-old convicted killer has been up to all sorts of bad behavior in prison.

According to newly revealed prison conduct records obtained by TMZ, Shirilla has racked up multiple disciplinary infractions while serving her sentence for the 2022 crash that killed her boyfriend, Russo, and his friend, Davion Flanagan.

TMZ reports that prison officials cited Shirilla for several rule violations during her time behind bars, including allegations tied to sexual misconduct.

In addition to “consensual sexual conduct” with other inmates, Shirilla allegedly engaged in a sexually explicit video call, during which, authorities say, she showed her breasts to a visitor.

The visitor then allegedly showed Shirilla “her breast with a dildo sticking out of her pants twice” before finally walking into frame fully naked.

Mackenzie has also been accused of prescription drug abuse and possession of sexually explicit materials. Her lawyers deny the drug use allegations.

Shirilla, now 21, is currently serving a lengthy sentence after being convicted in one of the country’s most closely watched vehicular homicide cases.

Back in 2022, prosecutors argued that Shirilla intentionally drove a vehicle at nearly 100 mph into a brick building in Strongsville, Ohio, killing 20-year-old Russo and 19-year-old Flanagan.

The case drew national attention because prosecutors insisted the crash was no accident.

In 2023, Shirilla was convicted of murder, aggravated vehicular homicide, and felonious assault after the court determined she had intentionally caused the deadly collision. She was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison, and the Neftflix documentary about her case recently became a global sensation.

Shirilla has maintained her innocence, and her legal team previously argued the crash stemmed from mental health struggles and emotional turmoil rather than an intentional attempt to kill anyone.

Now, the newly surfaced prison reports are offering another glimpse into her life behind bars.

Whether the violations ultimately affect her incarceration or future legal proceedings remains unclear.

But for a case that has continued to fascinate true crime followers, the revelations are likely to spark yet another round of debate online.

Last week, we reported on the news that former Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown was spotted rambling and undressing in a public park.

For obvious reasons, the news sparked fear among fans, and sadly, it seems the situation has only deteriorated in the days since.

Now, the estranged son of the late Billy Brown has sparked fresh concern after unusual activity on his Facebook page left followers wondering whether something may be wrong.

According to TMZ, fans recently noticed a string of strange posts appearing on Matt’s account, prompting speculation about his well-being and whether someone else may have access to the page.

The activity reportedly stood out enough that followers began voicing concern in the comments.

Matt, who has largely lived outside the spotlight in recent years, has faced a long and very public road filled with personal struggles, including battles with addiction and strained relationships with members of his famous family.

That history makes any sign of unusual behavior especially alarming.

TMZ reports that Matt has been sharing posts that don’t resemble his usual content. Some of the posts, followers allege, make it sound as though he’s made peace with the end.

“Feelings shift. Priorities change. Connections fade. That’s part of life, no matter how painful it is to accept,” he wrote in one Facebook message, adding:

“At the end of the day, your relationship with yourself is the one that must survive every version of your life.”

“Sometimes, the hardest task you must do everyday is to keep going. You know you can just lay there on your bed the whole day, but something inside you whispers hope to get up and urge you to fix yourself,” he wrote in a separate post, adding:

“I know all this time, you’ve been trying hard to survive a day with deep sadness and you’ve been trying to find an escape from it. It is not easy darling, it will never be easy to pick yourself up again after a great downfall.

“One thing that you should keep in mind is that whether you’re okay or not, time won’t just stop for you, you may be tired of trying to fix yourself over and over again, but trust your own strength darling. Tell yourself that you will never give up till the day you found your happiness.”

The reality personality has spent years largely separated from the rest of the Brown family following allegations of substance abuse and family conflict. He has previously spoken openly about attending rehab and working to rebuild his life after periods of instability.

The situation seems to have worsened in the years since the death of patriarch Billy Brown.

Matt also became estranged from several relatives after making accusations against members of the family and stepping away from the Discovery Channel series that made the Browns famous.

Since then, fans have mostly followed his life through occasional social media updates, making the recent Facebook activity all the more noticeable.

Matt’s estranged brother, Bear Brown, claims that Matt was recently seen near a river and was later observed floating in the water.

Bear’s fears have not yet been confirmed, and it is not clear if authorities are currently searching for Matt.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Matt Brown: Family Fears Troubled ‘Alaskan Bush People’ Star Is Dead was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Next week marks what would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday.

The occasion has sparked renewed interest in the screen icon’s turbulent life and times.

Of course, Marilyn is different from other stars of her era in that the public’s fascination with her brief career has never really waned.

But despite the decades of scrutiny, new claims are still being made about Marilyn, and the latest involves the other biggest star of the 1950s.

Yes, according to Byron Raphael, a friend and employee of Elvis Presley’s, the King of Rock and Roll and the Queen of the Silver Screen enjoyed a “glorious” one-night stand.

“Elvis had never seen Marilyn, then in the early summer of 1960, the two most explosive and legendary sex symbols of their era sized each other up in the street in front of a soundstage at Twentieth Century Fox, and came away unnerved,” a source close to the situation recently told Radar Online.

In newly resurfaced comments, Raphael recalled that Elvis approached Marilyn “in his usual self-deprecating way, his soft baritone edged in southern charm” and said, “‘Hello, my name is Elvis Presley. How are you, Miss Monroe?’”

“Elvis asked her if she would like to come to a party that he was giving the next night,” Raphael shared with Alanna Nash, author of Baby, Let’s Play House: Elvis Presley and the Women Who Loved Him.

“She looked at the guys and said ‘I’m sorry. I can’t, but thank you’ and kind of dashed away. He was very embarrassed, but I think she turned him down because she felt it was too public,” he added.

At the time, Monroe was married to the legendary playwright Arthur Miller, but according to Raphael, the marriage “wasn’t going well.”

“But, as marriages go in those days, in New York, you had to be very careful, because there was fault divorces, rather than no-fault divorces,” Raphael explained.

“Adultery could not only mean money, but tremendous scandal.”

Raphael claims he was there on the fateful night when Elvis and Marilyn crossed paths for the second time — and tumbled into bed together.

“They came together and, without saying a word, started kissing,” Raphael recalled.

“I was in shock and I didn’t know what to do. Then Marilyn, who was about 10 years older, said, ‘You’re pretty good for a guitar player.’ “After two minutes, they went into the bedroom, and I didn’t know if I was supposed to leave, or stay and wait for them, so I sort of just dozed off.”

But Raphael was “startled awake” by the bedroom door opening and Elvis and Marilyn walking out “stark naked.”

While it was certainly (allegedly) a night to remember, Raphael says he never mentioned it to another soul while Presley and Monroe were still alive.

“A few days later, when I mentioned Marilyn to Elvis, he said, ‘She’s a nice gal, but a little tall for me,'” he said.

“I knew that this was the sort of thing that could ruin their careers. They were two of the most famous people in the world, and Marilyn was still married to Arthur Miller at the time — so I never said a word.”

It’s a testament to the enduring power of Marilyn’s legacy that 64 years after her death, claims about her love life can still make headlines.

It’s been a long time coming.

About a decade ago, Brad Pitt alienated his children and ended his marriage in one fell swoop.

Now, Maddox Jolie-Pitt has filed to legally change his surname to “Jolie.”

Good for him!

What will his new name be?

On Thursday, May 28, The Daily Mail reported that 24-year-old Maddox has officially filed to drop “Pitt” from his name.

His new legal name will be Maddox Chivan Jolie.

In the filing, he listed the reason for the request as “personal.”

(These forms tend to have specific options, like how one might amend their name due to a marriage or divorce.)

Name changes are a headache. But this particular change has been a long time coming.

Maddox had already stopped using his father’s surname earlier this year.

For example, in the credits of Couture, he was listed simply as Maddox Jolie.

(Yes, Couture was Angelina’s film.)

Informally dropping his dad’s surname from his own is one thing.

Filing to legally change his name truly feels like a healing moment for Maddox. And he’s not alone.

How many Pitts are left?

Shiloh was the first of the children to file for a legal name change. She made the filing on her 18th birthday.

(For years, she’d been presented in tabloids as a “daddy’s girl” who wished that her parents would simply reconcile. One cannot help but wonder if this name change filing was, in part, a response this this narrative.)

Also in 2024, Zahara introduces herself as Zahara Marley Jolie when she joined her Spelman College sorority. Pax also ditched the Pitt name, albeit informally.

In fact, thus far, the only Jolie children who seem to have “Pitt” as part of their names are Knox and Vivienne.

The twins are both 17. When they turn 18, maybe they’ll keep the Pitt surname. But maybe not. We’ll find out.

Angelina Jolie filed to divorce Brad Pitt in 2016. The divorce process was lengthy and painful, only being finalized in 2024.

Allegedly, Pitt attacked her and at least one of his children during a private flight.

Angelina took that personally, as she should. It appears that her children did the same.

Maddox actually testified against his father. Ditching daddy dearest’s name really isn’t much of a surprise.

Some people keep the surname of a parent with whom they have gone no contact, out of convenience or to match their names with siblings. But, in Maddox’s case, keeping his father’s surname would make him the odd man out in his family.

America is celebrating its semiquincentennial this year, but because that’s a mouthful, most media outlets and government agencies have opted to refer to the anniversary as “America 250.”

And while the atmosphere in 2026 doesn’t feel especially celebratory, the federal government is forging ahead with its party plans.

Unfortunately, patriotic celebrants wind up dancing to AI-generated music because it seems like there’s not a musician on the planet who’s willing to go anywhere near this mess.

The centerpiece of this summer’s celebrations is the Great American State Fair, a series of concerts set to take place at Washington D.C.’s National Mall.

But just weeks before the concerts were set to begin, numerous headliners, including Martina McBride, Bret Michaels, and

“I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states,” McBride wrote on social media Thursday.

“Yesterday things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening.”

Bret Michaels, of the band Poison, revealed that he won’t be there.

“Unfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of,” he said.

“Concerns have also been raised regarding the safety of my fans, band, crew, family and myself, including threats that are completely unfounded and unforgivable.”

Numerous other artists, including Morris Day and the Time, Young MC, and the Commodores have also abruptly dropped out.

“Our music has always been our voice and we choose not to publicly affiliate with any single political party,” the Commodores said in a statement. “We support the betterment of all Americans.”

But the sh-tshow must go on — at least that seems to be the response from the Trump administration.

“Freedom 250 is a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) dedicated to uniting Americans around the nation’s 250th anniversary,” Freedom 250 spokesperson Rachel Reisner said in a statement to CBS News.

“Freedom 250 is focused on our signature celebrations and events that honor our history and engage all Americans — welcoming all who share our goal of commemorating this milestone in a way that uplifts and unites America.”

Needless to say, statements tepidly arguing for the event’s right to exist probably were not what organizers had in mind when they started the planning process.

But hey, it’s not all bad news!

Vanilla Ice announced this week that he still intends to perform as scheduled!

“Vanilla Ice is contracted and will perform at the Great American Fair at the National Mall on Friday, June 26,” Mr. Ice’s management agency told CBS News in an email.

“He is proud to help celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary! Everyone is welcome to attend and celebrate USA’s Birthday and our Freedom!”

Yes, folks, the Great American State Fair is saved. In other news, Vanilla Ice apparently has enough songs to justify an entire concert.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Jersey Shore broke some very exciting news.

Angelina Pivarnick was pregnant!

This week’s episode, however, revealed that she did not feel well.

Angelina ultimately confirmed her own worst fears: she’s miscarrying.

‘Some stuff’s happening with me and my pregnancy’

At the end of the Thursday, May 28 episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation, Angelina shared the bad news.

We see her at home, with the comfort of Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and of her dog.

Lying back on the couch, she explains that something is wrong.

“I’m just not feeling myself,” Angelina began.

“Some stuff’s happening with me and my pregnancy,” she revealed.

“And I don’t know what’s going on,” Angelina admitted, “and I don’t even know what to do.”

When Sammi — who was also pregnant when this filmed — visited, Angelina told her friend what was going on.

“I’m spotting,” Angelina shared. “I’m wearing a pad right now.”

Spotting refers to any bloody vaginal discharge. In other words, she found little dots of blood on her underwear before putting in a pad.

She relayed this to Sammi, who suffered a pregnancy lost during her own fertility journey.

‘I’m actively miscarrying’

“I’m going to be honest with you: When I miscarried — like a chemical pregnancy — I was spotting right away, and then it, like, just, it happened,” Sammi cautioned.

“So, to me, I’m getting a little concerned for you,” she told Angelina.

“I don’t want to think the worst,” Sammi emphasized.

“But for your own peace of mind,” she advised, “go to the ER and just check.”

Sammi reasoned: “They can see what’s going on.”

Angelina explained to the confessional that she felt “definitely scared about what I might find out.”

It looks like she may have taken Sammi’s counsel.

During the preview of next week’s episode, Angelina spoke to the camera about what had happened.

“I woke up in the middle of the night,” she reveals.

Angelina then tells the camera: “I’m actively miscarrying.”

Just weeks ago, we heard about Jennifer Aniston’s wedding plans.

When she ties the knot with boyfriend Jim Curtis, she hopes that she and the celebrity hypnotist can get it right.

However, a new report says that they’ve put a pin in planning their nuptials.

Why?

The wedding is off (for now)

According to Woman’s Day, there are both personal and professional reasons for Aniston indefinitely putting wedding plans on hold.

First of all, she is currently filming Season 5 of The Morning Show.

The Apple TV series is one of the better known shows from the streamer, sometimes labeled as where celebrities go to hide.

Some shows break containment. Severance, Pluribus, and Widow’s Bay (we really recommend all three) are other examples.

And that’s just the beginning.

Aniston is also expected to make time for I’m Glad My Mom Died.

Greenlit in the summer of 2025, the Apple TV series will adapt the Jennette McCurdy book by the same name into a series.

Aniston will be playing the mom, by the way. That’s a pretty different role than what most fans have seen her take on before.

(There was a push, early on, to make the series more comedic for some reason. That will not be the case, thankfully.)

With so much on her plate, professionally, Aniston isn’t prioritizing marriage right now. She has other things going on.

Apparently, he’s totally ‘understanding’

“Jen’s schedule is crazy and she’s NOT going to miss out on this new TV series, not even for a wedding,” the inside source told Woman’s Day.

Curtis is a celebrity hypnotist. His job is, by definition, pretty different from Aniston’s.

However, the same report says that he supports his lady love’s ambitions.

And, according to the insider, Curtis is “very understanding about the delay.”

However, an ominous part of the same report claims that he worries about her “getting cold feet.”

There are other issues, of course.

Aniston is a very wealthy woman. Estimates put her total net worth around 300 million. Her global box office numbers are even higher.

With that in mind, they’ll need to iron out a prenup to ensure that a divorce doesn’t see her lose her fortune. Because she’s likely to continue making a lot of money.

Additionally, they will need to figure out whether they want to live on the East Coach or on the West Coast.

That one, at least, is really more of a detail.
