Selma Blair is speaking out after an alarming incident aboard a Delta Air Lines flight landed the Cruel Intentions star in legal trouble.

As we previously reported, Blair was arrested this week after she allegedly bit a flight attendant and tried to open a cabin door mid-flight.

The actress’s representative has issued a lengthy statement addressing the incident, insisting that Blair did not intend to hurt anyone and urging the public to consider the medical circumstances surrounding her alleged behavior.

The statement comes after Blair’s alleged altercation with Delta employees during a flight from Los Angeles to New York.

The incident resulted in criminal charges and renewed scrutiny of the actress’s health struggles.

While the headlines have been dramatic, Blair’s team wants the public to understand that there may be considerably more to the story than initial reports suggested.

In the statement, Blair’s representative also pushed back against reports suggesting the actress tried to open the plane’s door.

“There was no attempt to open the door of the aircraft,” the spokesperson said (via People), adding that Blair “did not intend to harm anyone.”

The representative also criticized coverage that relied heavily on police accounts and past headlines, arguing that speculation was being repeated as fact before the full circumstances had been established.

Blair’s medical history is central to her team’s response. The actress publicly revealed her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2018 and continues to deal with daily pain, according to the statement.

Her representative also noted that Blair has pseudobulbar affect, a neurological condition associated with MS that can affect emotional expression.

The spokesperson argued that the condition is relevant to how a medical episode might appear to people unfamiliar with her health challenges.

Blair’s team further emphasized that she travels with a service dog, which was reportedly taken from her by authorities following the incident.

The statement also highlighted the actress’s professional accomplishments, noting that she has worked on seven film and television projects in 2026 alone.

Blair has also launched several lifestyle brands and continued advocating for disability rights and the multiple sclerosis community.

Her representative stressed that Blair had never been arrested before the October 11 incident and asked the public to consider the broader circumstances before passing judgment.

Of course, a medical explanation does not make the allegations themselves disappear.

Blair was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport after the flight landed in New York.

She subsequently pleaded not guilty to two counts of second-degree assault involving an alleged incident with a police officer and a nurse. The FBI is also investigating what allegedly happened aboard the aircraft.

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

Lil Jon has spent decades making people shout “Yeah!” and “Turn Down for What?” But there’s a painful reason the rapper is rarely seen without his signature sunglasses.

The Grammy-winning artist, whose real name is Jonathan Smith, is opening up about a childhood accident that permanently affected his eye and helped shape the larger-than-life persona fans know today.

In his upcoming memoir, I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me, the 54-year-old recounts how a childhood curiosity turned into a traumatic injury when he was just 6 years old.

Growing up in Atlanta, Jon watched his mother, Carrie, who has diabetes, administer insulin injections. One day, he picked up one of her syringes because he wanted to see what air would feel like on his eye.

Unfortunately, the experiment went horribly wrong.

Lil Jon accidentally stabbed himself in the eyeball with the needle, resulting in a traumatic cataract. The injury led to multiple surgeries, including a corneal transplant, and forced him to wear a metal eye patch to school.

And, as anyone who remembers being a kid knows, standing out for the wrong reasons can make school miserable.

“I definitely was teased in school,” Jon recently told People. “At that age, if somebody’s different, they’re going to pick on you.”

The experience made the future hip-hop superstar shy, but it also planted a seed of determination that would follow him throughout his career.

“I became shy,” he recalled. “But somehow I turned it into, ‘I want to always prove people wrong.’”

Jon had already started learning to play the drums shortly before the accident. Rather than allowing the injury and the bullying to define him, he continued pursuing his passion for music.

The childhood trauma eventually left him with a lazy eye as an adult. Although he underwent another operation to correct the condition, sunglasses became a lasting part of his public image.

They also became something of a trademark for the artist, who built a career on his unmistakable appearance and high-energy performances.

But the shades aren’t the only thing that helped Lil Jon develop his larger-than-life reputation. His relentless work ethic played a major role, too.

In his memoir, the rapper describes personally taking his records to nightclubs around the country to get his music heard. Rather than waiting for the industry to embrace him, he went out and created opportunities for himself.

“I got to figure out how to pave my way no matter what. I got to prove people wrong,” he explained.

“Whenever people have put me down,” he added, “I used that as fuel in my fire to excel.”

I Only Shout So You Can Hear Me, is scheduled to arrive on October 20. The book promises ti explore recent tragedies in Lil Jon’s life and offer a deeper look at the man behind the booming voice, revealing how childhood struggles helped fuel his rise to hip-hop stardom.

Somewhere, Anthony Scaramucci is enjoying a well-deserved laugh.

After just seven days on the job, controversial White House press secretary Katie Zacharia has parted ways with the Trump administration.

Zacharia was appointed on October 9, succeeding Karoline Leavitt, who left the position to focus on her family after welcoming her second child.

Now, Trump is apparently searching for another person to take on the increasingly unpredictable task of speaking for his administration.

Neither Zacharia nor the White House immediately responded to PEOPLE’s requests for comment about her reported departure.

When Trump announced Zacharia’s appointment, he had plenty of praise for the conservative commentator, who previously worked for the Department of Homeland Security and Trump Media & Technology Group.

“She has an unblemished record of support, and has been a loyal and brilliant supporter, right from the beginning,” Trump declared, adding that she was a “devoted fan and member of MAGA!”

Unfortunately, political loyalty apparently wasn’t enough to guarantee a smooth introduction to the White House press corps.

Zacharia’s first briefing quickly attracted attention for all the wrong reasons. During the appearance, she awkwardly confused her husband with Trump, creating an uncomfortable moment that immediately drew scrutiny.

Her performance also prompted questions about her professional credentials.

Zacharia has described herself as a lawyer despite apparently never passing a bar exam in the United States. She does, however, hold a law degree.

The controversy added another complication to an already rocky debut, leaving the new press secretary facing questions about both her performance and her background almost immediately after stepping into the role.

And now, according to the latest reports, her time in the position has come to an abrupt end.

White House press secretary turnover is hardly unprecedented. However, Trump has already gone through six people in the position across his two presidential terms, a notable number compared with previous administrations.

Former President George W. Bush and former President Barack Obama had a combined seven press secretaries throughout their 16 years in office.

Trump, meanwhile, has managed to burn through nearly that many during his own time in the White House.

For an administration that places such a premium on controlling its message, finding someone who can reliably handle the daily media circus may prove to be more challenging than expected.

And after Zacharia’s remarkably brief tenure, Trump is once again left looking for someone willing to take the podium — and face the questions that come with it.

Katie Zacharia FIRED as White House Press Secretary After 7 Days was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

On Monday, fans were shocked by the news that actor RJ Mitte had died by suicide.

Now, we have tragic new details about the Breaking Bad star’s final hours.

RJ’s mother, Dyna Mitte, spoke with NBC News this week about the morning she discovered her son had died at his home in Brownsville, Texas.

According to Dyna, she had spent time with RJ shortly before his death. But when she tried contacting him that Monday morning, she couldn’t get him to answer the phone.

That prompted her to bring lunch to his home.

“I called him at 11,” Dyna recalled. “He didn’t answer, so I picked up lunch and went to take it to him, and that’s when I discovered him.”

Dyna said the weekend before his death had been difficult for RJ, although she did not know the full extent of what he was experiencing.

Asked about the rumor that RJ’s fiancee, Kennedy Suarez, had issued an ultimatum and asked him to choose her or his family, Dyna acknowledged that there was “some of that going on.”

A close friend later told her that the actor had been dealing with issues that left him deeply hurt. Dyna also revealed that she had spent the previous three months encouraging her son to seek professional help.

“He was like, ‘No, I’ve got it. It’s OK. I’m handling it,’” she recalled. In hindsight, Dyna wishes she had pushed harder.

“I would have taken him screaming and yelling” to therapy, she said, reflecting on the desperate wish that she could have done something differently.

Mitte’s death was confirmed as a suicide. His mother believes it may have been an impulsive decision, noting that he did not leave a note explaining what happened.

The uncertainty has only compounded the family’s grief.

“We all go through some heartbreak in our life, and we all deal with it differently,” Dyna said. “If I had known anything and could have done anything different, I truly would have. I would have given my life for his life.”

But Dyna hopes that sharing her experience can serve a purpose beyond recounting her own devastating loss.

“If me speaking out today might save someone else from going through the same situation, because a mother should never have to find their child this way,” she said. “If I can say one person is helped, I think that’s what RJ would expect.”

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

RJ Mitte’s Mom Reveals She Found Son’s Body, Opens Up About Tension With … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Where do you turn in a crisis when everyone you know is part of the same cult?

As a teenager, Jinger Duggar had an eating disorder.

It took seeing someone wasting away before she pursued help for herself.

Michelle’s reaction may be surprising to some.

Eating disorders can happen to anyone, but a teen fundamentalist on reality TV is at higher risk

On this week’s episode of the Call Your Sister podcast, Jinger opened up about her eating disorder struggles as a teen — and how her mother responded.

“I had so much stress in my body that I almost physically was feeling sick,” she recalled to Joy on the October 14 episode.

“There was so much that I was processing through and I was really stressed,” Jinger explained.

Disordered eating can take many forms. For her, it was food avoidance — skipping meals to feel more in control of her body and her life.

“I would try to sleep in as late as I could, so I would not have to eat breakfast,” Jinger recalled, “and I’d try to make it through lunch and then try to not eat lunch.”

Many people who skip meals do so by being in different environments, so that people at school believe that they are eating at home, and people at home believe that they are eating at school.

Jinger is a homeschooling victim, so this was not an option for her. But, she said, the Duggars ate dinner together more often than other meals — so it was easier to go unnoticed.

Ultimately, she knew that she needed help when, on a group trip, she saw someone struggling with bulimia.

“She was literally sickly and she had so many health issues and she looked terrible because her body was withering away,” Jinger described. “She was in a terrible place.”

She recalled: “Ultimately I was looking at her and I’m like, ‘Just stop doing that,’ as I’m over here doing the same thing in a different way.”

Michelle to the rescue?

Realizing that she needed help, Jinger turned to essentially the only resource that she had — her mother, Michelle.

Astonishingly, Michele responded “with such grace and kindness,” Jinger described, sharing her own history with an eating disorder.

“She said, ‘But good thing is you’re talking, you’re going to be fine,'” she recalled.

Jinger shared: “I was so reassured knowing that because I said that, she was not like, ‘Oh my goodness, here’s three cheeseburgers, eat them all.’” (Three is not generally a lot of cheeseburgers, but can feel scary or even immoral to someone with disordered eating habits.)

“She was like, ‘No, it’s OK. You can eat healthy food and be healthy,'” she went on. “But she also said, ‘You don’t need to avoid food because that’s gonna harm your body later.’”

A post shared by Call Your Sister with Joy & Jinger (@thecallyoursisterpod)

Jinger went on to detail how Michelle had helped her to keep a log of what she ate, and how recovery took years.

Many might understandably express surprise that the infamous cultist seemed to respond in a healthy and affirming manner.

But, sometimes, the key with these types is for them to personally relate to someone’s problem. That can, for some, be the only thing stopping them from pushing whatever the cult prescribes and leaving it at that.

Disordered eating is common, but not often discussed, within the extreme fringes of American conservative Christianity, even outside of fundamentalist spaces. Cultists, especially women, have few to no healthy resources and live in a world where their appearances are both seen as the pathway to wrongdoing and a sign of virtue.

We’re glad that Jinger was able to recover and share her story.

There have been many awkward Love Is Blind moments over the years.

But the meeting of Jax Guelli and Scott “Stew” Stewart might have delivered the show’s cringiest scene of all time.

And now, Jax is opening up on her decision to bail on her fiance moments after meeting him.

She admits she should have handled her sudden exit from Netflix’s dating experiment differently after leaving Stew without an explanation.

But she also seems to have no regrets about her decision.

The couple connected in the pods over their shared love of luxury and The Phantom of the Opera. Stew eventually proposed, and Jax accepted.

Unfortunately, their romantic bubble burst almost immediately after they finally came face-to-face.

Let’s just say their first meeting wasn’t exactly a fairytale moment.

Jax repeatedly described the encounter as “so weird” and appeared uncomfortable as the couple attempted to navigate their newly engaged status. She even shot back against Stew’s claim that he looked like members of the Kennedy family and claimed instead that he resembled Mitt Romney.

Romance was clearly not in the air.

Stew, meanwhile, seemed convinced they’d found something special. He described the experience as overwhelmingly positive and said he believed Jax was everything he’d hoped for.
Unfortunately, his fiancée wasn’t feeling quite so confident.

By the following episode, Jax had decided she wanted to go home rather than continue the experiment or travel to Mexico with the other couples.

Producers informed Stew that she had left and didn’t want to speak with him at that moment, leaving him without a proper explanation.

The reality star later explained that her doubts had started before the couple even met. Jax was disappointed by Stew’s proposal, which she felt sounded like a “superficial checklist” rather than a heartfelt declaration specifically about her.

She also claimed that Stew came across as “cocky” and “douchey” during their first meeting, making it difficult for her to reconcile the man in front of her with the person she’d connected with in the pods.
Still, Jax insists that his looks weren’t the reason she walked away.

“What I felt was real at that time,” she explained. “The good and unfortunately the bad was real too, and it had nothing to do with him or his looks. It was the moment, and it was way too much for me.”

That’s fair enough. Getting engaged to someone you’ve never seen before is certainly an unusual way to start a relationship. But leaving that person without a conversation? That’s a different story.
Fortunately, Jax seems to recognize that distinction now.

“I wish I had handled it better,” she admitted. “He deserved a conversation, and it deserved to end differently, because he’s a gentleman and I should have handled it like a lady, but I didn’t.”

As for Stew, he admitted that he was stunned when producers told him Jax had left without saying goodbye. However, he insisted that the experience hadn’t left him devastated.

He also said he wasn’t blaming either himself or Jax for how uncomfortable their first meeting became. After all, the entire premise of Love Is Blind involves making an enormous romantic decision under circumstances that most people will never experience.

Stew maintained that he was proud of how authentically he’d presented himself in the pods and wouldn’t change his approach to the experiment.

Whether these two will have a chance to clear the air remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Their engagement lasted far less time than it took to plan the wedding that never happened.

You do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it” to Sean Hannity.

However, he is lending his voice and platform to the growing chorus questioning Katie Zacharia’s alleged credentials.

To be clear, no one is saying that you need to pass the bar exam to be Press Secretary. You do not.

But Zacharia has spent years publicly identifying herself as a lawyer without passing the bar exam. People are questioning her integrity.

She’s a ‘lawyer’ but never passed the bar exam? It gets worse …

On Tuesday, October 13, Donald Trump announced his new Press Secretary.

Zacharia has spent years pushing Pizzagate-style conspiracy theories and hyping up Trump on ultraconservative platforms.

She is also blonde, monied, and has “Mar-a-Lago face” features.

Adding that she is clearly woefully underqualified for the role, and it’s no surprise that Trump appointed her.

But, for years, Zacharia has identified herself as a “lawyer” in an apparent effort to give herself unwarranted credibility. Was it all a lie?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Sean Hannity (@seanhannity)

Zacharia does have a legal degree, but spent a couple of days dodging questions before finally admitting the truth: she never passed the bar exam.

On Thursday, October 15, she admitted during an interview with white nationalist Jack Posibiec on the ironically named “Real America’s Voice” that she tried and failed the bar exam in 2011.

According to Zacharia, she was distracted by planning her wedding.

In addition to marrying Tyler Zacharia, she was also planning to move to Tyler.

Zacharia insisted that it was “inconsequential” to have not passed the bar, as her new job would not require that particular qualification.

Sean Hannity didn’t give her as many softball questions as she might have expected

Still, she went on to identify herself as a lawyer during public appearances, and now insists that it was “okay and acceptable” to label herself a “lawyer.” This was, at best, splitting hairs.

It fell to longtime Trump ally and Fox News host Sean Hannity, of all people, to grill Zacharia during an interview later on Thursday.

Zacharia smiled uncomfortably during the majority of the interview, even though it was mostly friendly and full of softballs and the usual vice signaling.

She rattled on a lengthy and clearly nervous explanation of how she had failed the bar exam and moved to China.

Zacharia confirmed to Hannity that she had not retaken the exam because she had begun having children. She is a mother of four.

Hannity also brought up that Zacharia had described herself as an attorney — implying having passed the bar — rather than a lawyer. This is a rare piece of nuance, as most would treat these as synonyms.

However, she said that these were retweets or reposts, not her own words. The hair-splitting continues.

Some would say that this level of craven dishonesty is disqualifying in a Press Secretary. But … is it?

Zacharia being thoroughly unqualified is arguably one of the most important qualities for serving in the Trump regime. It’s right up there with being white, being Christian, spreading conspiracy theories, and showing endless loyalty to Trump instead of to America.

So Zacharia isn’t a good liar. No one in Trump’s circle seems to care whether the public swallows the lies that they’re putting out anymore, anyway.

Katie Zacharia Says She Failed the Bar Exam Because She Was Planning Her Wedding was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

For years, Charlie Sheen’s notorious bad behavior, including substance abuse and crimes, dominated headlines.

Most would not compare beloved actress Anna Faris to him, save that both are well known Gen X actors.

Chuck Lorre, the producer behind legendary sitcoms spanning four decades, had both as stars on his shows, and compares Faris’ troubles to Sheen’s.

Faris feels pretty understandably devastated. “Of course it hurts,” she admitted in a public response.

‘Nothing changes how grateful I am for those people and those years’

On Thursday, October 15, Faris took to her Instagram page to express some understandable heartbreak.

“Yikes,” she began. “Yes, I read a few things. I really didn’t see that coming. Of course it hurts.”

Referring to Chuck Lorre, Faris acknowledged: “Chuck gave me a job I loved, and for seven years I never took a day of it for granted.”

The beloved actress affirmed: “I’m proud of what we made together, and nothing changes how grateful I am for those people and those years.”

Not even the famous “king of sitcoms” comparing her to one of Hollywood’s most notorious figures could change that.

“I’ve been sober for a year and a half,” Faris announced.

“I was on a show about recovery, and then I lived it,” she characterized.

Many actors who have struggled with substance abuse and addiction have been on shows where these are major recurring elements.

“Now I’m healthy, I’m working, and I’m happier than I’ve been in a long time,” Faris expressed.

“If anyone reading this is where I was, I hope that’s useful,” she concluded. “It gets better. I’m proof.”

What did Chuck Lorre say about her?

Starting in 2013, Faris starred as Christy on Mom.

Christy was a recovering alcoholic who was strugglign to maintain a job. She dealt with family issues.

Just as in real life, Christy’s alcoholism was not an isolated affliction. Her mother, Bonnie (played by the incomparable Allison Janney) was also in recovery, and moved in with her. Thus, the sitcom’s name.

Faris starred on the first seven of eight seasons, officially departing in 2020 to “pursue new opportunities.”

Chuck Lorre was behind the show — and countless others, from The Big Bang Theory to Two And A Half Men and beyond. Some of his shows, like Cybill, were even good.

In Sitcom, Lorre recalled: “I wasn’t sure Anna would be appropriate for this kind of material.”

He continued: “Then I thought about how badly I’d bungled my working relationship with Charlie Sheen.”

“Someone’s personal life is none of my business,” Lorre ended up concluding. “The mom in Mom would be, and should be, Anna Faris.”

Then, he declared: “As the years went by, it became apparent that my initial reluctance to hire Anna was, in fact, correct. After six years, she left the show for mysterious reasons that were not mysterious to anyone on the show.”

For the record, she has been showered with support, including by fellow actors and co-stars. Many people in many professions struggle with substance abuse.

There’s no one right answer for all of them, but publicly throwing them under the bus years later is not a great look.

Sydney Sweeney is currently hard at work filming a much-anticipated thriller.

Not all filming is on closed sets. Between takes, she connected with fans — to their delight.

The videos really speak for themselves.

She is a one-woman crowd-pleaser

After the roaring success of the first film, Sweeney is currently filming The Housemaid’s Secret.

She is filming at least part of the project in Hoboken, New Jersey.

In this highly anticipated sequel, Sweeney reprises the role of Millie, the titular housemaid.

She takes a housekeeping job, this time for a mystery woman whom she never meets face-to-face.

It is likely no surprise that she finds new and darker secrets in this project. That’s what the teaser promises, at least.

On Instagram, we can see multiple videos of Sweeney stepping out to meet young fans in Hoboken.

At a glance, the fans skew younger — from teens to tweens.

(Please remember that she has appeared in more than just Euphoria. She is a talented, versatile actress.)

She even had to return to filming, but promises the gathered fans that she would return for photos.

Sure enough, she filmed again and then crossed the street to meet fans, appearing to even sign some items between takes.

‘The Housemaid’ was a massive success

In 2025, Sweeney costarred with Amanda Seyfried in The Housemaid.

This thriller had a $35 million budget yet grossed over $400 million worldwide.

Even factoring for things like advertising, that’s a massive commercial success that likely enriched a lot of already very rich backers.

It was no surprise when, mere weeks after the theatrical release, Lionsgate gave the sequel the green light.

There is a lot that we do not yet know about this sequel. But then, it’s pretty normal for thrillers to be full of suspense and surprises.

Sweeney has spent the past year or so dabbling in a series of controversies.

Some of these have been overblown or largely unrelated to her. Others have been people taking her silence on polarizing topics as an answer.

(To be fair, it is often the case that people with bad answers often try to avoid giving any at all. Look no further than conservative men on dating apps identifying as “moderate” because they want to get laid.)

But seeing this moment, where Sweeney was able to connect one-on-one with fans (despite the obvious concerns of her security) is a reminder that she’s a real, complex person who is much more than the pernicious symbol that some of her fans and detractors alike see her as.

We do wish that she’d make some better choices, especially when it comes to advertisements. And men. But those are her mistakes to make.

Sydney Sweeney Pleases Fans While Filming Thriller Sequel was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

As fans continue to try and make sense of the death of RJ Mitte, we have new information about the Breaking Bad star’s final days.

As we previously reported, Mitte died by suicide on Monday at the age of 34.

Now, a startling new report claims that the actor was embroiled in some intense family drama in the days leading up to his death.

Mitte had been engaged to fiancee Kennedy Suarez for over a year.

And according to a new report from TMZ, the relationship had become a source of “tension” in recent weeks, as Suarez felt that Mitte’s mother was had been “meddling” in their affairs.

In fact, the outlet is reporting that Suarez issued an ultimatum to Mitte, demanding that he choose between his mother and his wife-to-be.

In a YouTube video, one TMZ journalist alleges that RJ and Kennedy’s relationship was “on the rocks” in the period leading up to Mitte’s death.

“We don’t know if they broke up,” the reporter clarifies.

The journalist went on to explain that Mitte was close with his mother and sisters and “obviously” was not going to cut ties with them.

Obviously, little is known about what might have caused Mitte’s distress in his final days.

And it would be unfair and reckless to allege that the family dispute involving his fiancee had anything to do with his decision to take his own life.

Other stressors have been alleged, and much has been made of a recent interview in which RJ alleged that he had accrued a tremendous amount of debt due to malpractice by his financial team.

Whatever the case, friends, colleagues, and a legion of devoted fans have been mourning Mitte and fondly recalling his life in the days since his death.

“I’m in deep despair as I write this tonight. RJ Mitte, my sweet son on Breaking Bad has died,” Breaking Bad star Cranston wrote on Instagram, adding:

“I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm. Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never – ever – allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination.”

Our condolences go out to Mitte’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

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