Lori Loughlin is going viral after debuting a dramatic new hairstyle, and the internet immediately had one big question: Is it real? The “Full House” alum stepped out at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art gala rocking a sleek, layered bob with long, face-framing bangs, sparking major buzz online as fans debated whether the bold look was a wig or a real cut.

Fans Divided Over Lori Loughlin’s New Look

The transformation quickly sparked mixed reactions online, with fans divided over the dramatic change. Some weren’t convinced by the style, with one writing, “Wig or not, she didn’t look good.” Others rushed to defend the actress, praising her fresh look with comments like, “she looks fabulous,” and “Mmmmm, looking good.”

Olivia Jade Giannulli was just as stunned as fans by Loughlin’s dramatic transformation, and she made sure to let everyone know. The 26-year-old influencer gushed over her mom’s red carpet look from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Opening Gala, sharing snaps of the duo together on Instagram Stories. “How does my mother look like this?” Giannulli wrote alongside the photos, clearly impressed by Loughlin’s bold new style.

Loughlin’s Hairstylist Shuts Down Viral Hair Rumors

Before speculation could spiral any further, Loughlin’s hairstylist, David Robert Naumann, stepped in to clear the air. After one fan commented, “Cute, but it’s a wig,” Naumann responded directly, “It’s not a wig. I’d know ;)”

He later gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the transformation on his own Instagram, writing, “Chop chop for Lori yesterday.”

Lori Loughlin’s Split From Mossimo Giannulli Turns Messy

The outing comes months after her split from Mossimo Giannulli, her husband of nearly 28 years. While the pair have not officially filed for divorce, they are reportedly living separate lives following the breakup. “Truly, the tipping point came when Lori found a bunch of text messages,” a source said.

Insiders say the fallout from the split is still ongoing behind the scenes. “Lori is still extremely angry with him,” a source shared, while another insider said Giannulli “thinks she’s a lovely person and an incredible mom” and “wants everything resolved quietly.”

They are “living separate lives and figuring out next steps,” the source added. “Divorce looks like it’s the future.”

College Admissions Scandal ‘Changed Everything’ For Loughlin And Giannulli’s Marriage

Loughlin and Giannulli’s split may trace back further than initially thought, with new reports pointing to the infamous college admissions scandal as a major turning point in their marriage. While earlier claims suggested tension began after Loughlin allegedly discovered “incriminating” messages on Giannulli’s phone, an insider says the damage was already done years earlier.

According to a source, the couple struggled to recover after being indicted for paying $500,000 to fixer Rick Singer in a scheme to present their daughters, Olivia Jade Giannulli and Isabella Rose Giannulli, as recruited rowers to gain admission into University of Southern California. “The school scandal was a turning point, and they never really connected or recovered their relationship after that,” the source shared.

“She felt that he got her involved. She didn’t fully blame him, but he spearheaded it,” the insider added, noting that Loughlin “never fully forgave him and never fully got over it, and they were never the same after.”

Lori Loughlin Celebrates ‘Incredible’ Return To ‘When Calls The Heart’ After Career Comeback

Loughlin is also making waves professionally, recently stepping back into the spotlight by reprising her role on “When Calls the Heart.” Speaking at Hallmark’s Christmas Experience in December 2025, the actress opened up about the emotional return and the support she received along the way.

“It feels amazing and my girl [Erin Krakow] here has been championing this for a long time,” Loughlin said. “When did I find out? Maybe like a month ago, two months ago, and I just want to thank everyone at Hallmark for being so loving and so welcoming … and this just feels incredible.”

She added, “I mean, you guys all know it, we have such a special cast, and such a special bond and it’s just so nice to be back with my family.”

A Florida relationship dispute over a television reportedly escalated into a violent domestic incident involving Teariney Dixon and her boyfriend in Tallahassee. What began as a heated argument over belongings and accusations of infidelity is now at the center of an attempted murder case. Now, investigators are detailing a chaotic scene inside the apartment.

Police Called After Heated Apartment Dispute

According to police records, officers responded on April 11 after Teariney Dizon’s boyfriend called authorities reporting that Dixon was damaging items inside his apartment during a dispute. When deputies arrived, they say they observed signs of a struggle throughout the residence, with the boyfriend telling them the argument had turned physical and that he ultimately left the home before later re-entering to regain access to his belongings.

Furthermore, as revealed in the affidavit, the boyfriend recorded the entire argument and alleged physical altercation on surveillance video inside his home and later showed it to officers. Police say the situation escalated after a verbal disagreement and Dixon’s refusal to leave, leading to a physical confrontation during which she allegedly punched him in the face before locking him out of his apartment.

Tension Over Items Leads To Physical Fight

The affidavit further states that the disagreement continued to escalate over personal property, including items both parties claimed ownership of, which led to a physical confrontation inside the apartment. Police allege Dixon made slashing motions toward her boyfriend with a knife, cutting his finger during the altercation. Authorities also claim that she grabbed him by the hair and attempted to cut his dreadlocks, before he removed her wig in response. Investigators added that the boyfriend was eventually able to disarm her and return the knife to the kitchen, bringing the confrontation to an end. Police also mentioned that “There was blood all over the apartment.“

Dixon Booked, Then Released As Case Continues

Furthermore, authorities say Dixon was later located at her residence. She was interviewed by police and provided a statement addressing the incident, acknowledging the dispute over belongings while disputing intent. Additionally, authorities arrested Dixon on an attempted murder charge and booked her into the Tallahassee Detention Center on April 11. She posted bond the following day, while court proceedings remain pending as the investigation continues.

The Marvel stars will soon align for one of the biggest movies of the decade, with Avengers: Doomsday debuting in theaters on December 18. The first Avengers movie since Endgame broke countless records in 2019, the Russo Brothers are throwing everything at this long-awaited next installment, with the cast list reading like a who’s who of modern Hollywood. From Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, and Tom Hiddleston to Florence Pugh, Vanessa Kirby, and Pedro Pascal, the cast of the upcoming blockbuster is nothing short of Marvel-ous.

As the clock ticks closer to Doomsday, people are already preparing by heading back into the MCU archive and reminding themselves of what has come before. This also means watching the most forgettable Avengers movie, Avengers: Age of Ultron. Released in 2015, the film was a big-budget direct sequel to the first Avengers outing, and left many underwhelmed. That being said, the film was still a fair hit with critics, earning a “certified fresh” 75% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus on the site reading, “Exuberant and eye-popping, Avengers: Age of Ultron serves as an overstuffed but mostly satisfying sequel, reuniting its predecessor’s unwieldy cast with a few new additions and a worthy foe.”

Unsurprisingly, the film was also a big box office hit, returning almost $1.4 billion against an eye-watering budget of $365 million. The 19th highest-grossing film of all time worldwide, there is a strong chance that the next Avengers movie will overtake its place in the ranks. Ahead of Doomsday, millions are flocking to the previous Avengers movies, and Age of Ultron is currently one of the ten most-streamed movies on Disney+ in the U.S.

Before ‘Doomsday,’ There’s Another Stop on the MCU Journey

This summer, there’s one more stop on the MCU journey to Doomsday, as Tom Holland suits up once again in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Scheduled to debut on July 31, Brand New Day will feature Holland alongside Zendaya and Jacob Batalon returning as MJ and Ned, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, Michael Mando back as Scorpion, and Marvin Jones III as Tombstone. Stranger Things favorite Sadie Sink is also joining the cast, although her identity is kept tightly under wraps.

Avengers: Age of Ultron is currently available to stream on Disney+. Make sure to stay tuned to Collider for all the latest streaming stories.

A resurfaced clip of Gwyneth Paltrow discussing her bedroom escapades with former lovers Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck is making the rounds online. In the interview, the “Iron Man” actress compared the two, saying Pitt was more of a “love of your life” type, while describing Affleck as “technically excellent.”

Earlier this year, Paltrow also revealed that her past relationship with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin cost her a movie role due to the negative headlines surrounding their split.

Gwyneth Paltrow On Brad Pitt And Ben Affleck In Bed

The clip of Paltrow comparing Pitt and Affleck stems from a May 2023 appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, where she made the candid remarks that have since resurfaced.

When host Alex Cooper asked which of her famous exes was better in bed, the GOOP founder didn’t shy away from answering.

Paltrow described Pitt as the “major chemistry ‘love-of-your-life’” kind of relationship. As for Affleck, she said the “Argo” actor was “technically excellent,” a remark that drew laughter between them. The actress then joked that she couldn’t believe her daughter was tuning in to hear the conversation.

Paltrow Stuns Fans With Bedroom Take On Pitt, Affleck

Several fans appeared surprised that Paltrow didn’t sidestep the raunchy question, with many taking to social media to weigh in on her candid comparison.

“Imagine Brad Pitt hopping on a podcast ranking Jennifer Aniston vs Angelina Jolie in bed… the timeline would’ve burned the app down,” one X user wrote. “But Gwyneth says it, and it’s just ‘iconic?’”

“Shame on her. This is just so inappropriate. All she does is kiss and tell,” another user added.

Others framed the moment as a breach of privacy, suggesting the comments crossed a line regardless of how they were intended.

“Very classy, Gwyneth. Nobody needs to know that personal stuff,” someone else chimed in. “Maybe the guys should talk about how she was in bed. I’m sure she wouldn’t be amused.”

Inside Gwyneth Paltrow’s Dating History

Like many other Hollywood stars, Paltrow has had a long list of high-profile relationships dating back to the early stages of her career.

Her first known romance was with Donovan Leitch Jr. in 1993, before the pair split two years later, per PEOPLE Magazine. Not long after, she began dating Pitt in the mid-1990s after they met while filming “Se7en.” Their relationship quickly turned serious, with the couple getting engaged, but they ultimately called it off in 1997.

Paltrow then moved on with Affleck, whom she met at a party hosted by Harvey Weinstein in the late ’90s. The two dated on and off from 1997 until they split in 2000.

In the early 2000s, Paltrow met British rock star Chris Martin. The pair married in December 2003 and went on to welcome two children, Apple and Moses. After more than a decade together, they announced their separation in 2014.

She later found love again with Brad Falchuk, whom she married in 2018.

The Actress Remains On Good Terms With Her Exes

Meanwhile, Paltrow has made it clear that she maintains positive relationships with the men in her past, emphasizing that she prefers peace over lingering tension.

During an Instagram Story Q&A, the actress revealed she remains on good terms with her exes and embraces a more intentional approach to breakups.

“I really believe in conscious uncoupling,” she wrote. “When you spend meaningful time with someone, it’s nice to have it morph into friendship. I don’t want to have bad blood with anyone, ever (if I can help it).”

She continues to co-parent her children with Martin and has spoken highly of Pitt and Affleck in the past.

Gwyneth Paltrow On How Her Former Marriage Cost Her A Movie Role

Earlier this year, Paltrow reflected on how the fallout from her divorce from Martin impacted her career.

Speaking on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast in January, the “Shakespeare In Love” actress revealed that she lost out on a film role following their widely publicized split.

According to Paltrow, the timing of the situation made studios hesitant to move forward with her.

“There was a lot of harsh stuff in the press,” she said, per The Guardian. “I think the distributor was like, ‘This might be too hot to touch.’”

Paltrow agreed with Poehler’s suggestion that producers were likely trying to distance themselves from the controversy at the time.

Back in February, Jeff Daniels (best known for Dumb and Dumber and The Newsroom) revealed what he believes to be the best sandwich during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. During the infamous “Colbert Questionert,” Daniels laid it all out to a shocked audience after letting out a long sigh and starting with, “I’m going to go with a personal favorite.”

He then went into great detail describing the sandwich, which consists of pita bread, creamy peanut butter, cheddar sour cream Ruffles, and “your favorite barbecue sauce.” Daniels said his favorite is “Sweet Baby James,” but no such brand exists, so it’s safe to assume he meant Sweet Baby Ray’s and misspoke in the heat of the moment.

He was exacting in his instructions, explaining how only half of the pita bread gets covered with a quarter inch of creamy peanut butter, which is then topped with crushed chips. The next step is to slather the whole thing with sauce, fold it over, and go to work. Every food blogger I follow has tried the “viral sandwich,” and I usually avoid these trends because I have better things to do with my time.

Something about this mix of sweet and savory got my attention, though, so I had to make one myself and see what all the fuss was about. I also took a page from the Sandwiches of History playbook, hosted by the legendary Barry Enderwick, who reviews recipes as written but also likes to “plus them up” with extra ingredients to see if they can be improved.

So without further ado, here’s my review of the Jeff Daniels Sandwich, along with some late-night, cabinet-raiding culinary insanity.

The Jeff Daniels Sandwich

My first thought about the Jeff Daniels Sandwich is that he picked very distinct flavor profiles that could go one of two ways. Either it works perfectly, or it falls apart completely. Following his instructions, I grabbed pita bread, Ruffles, Sweet Baby Ray’s, and used the 64-ounce jar of creamy peanut butter already in my house because my kids are goblins and go through alarming amounts of it. I prefer chunky, but that’s beside the point.

While I’m not exactly a fitness guru, I do track my activity with a FitBit and try to hit around 20,000 steps and 5,000 calories burned a day. I also eat once a day because it makes tracking macros easier. Intermittent fasting keeps things simple, especially when I get reckless with late-night snacking, something I do often. 

This works out nicely, because a six-inch pita, roughly three tablespoons of peanut butter, 11 cheddar and sour cream Ruffles (what they consider to be a single serving size), and two tablespoons of Sweet Baby Ray’s comes out to about 650 calories. I didn’t use a food scale, so your results may vary. For context, the Jeff Daniels Sandwich I made has roughly the same caloric content as 2.7 glazed doughnuts from Dunkin’.

It also clocks in at about 18.5 grams of protein, 73.5 grams of carbs, and five grams of dietary fiber.

As for the taste, I don’t know any other way to say it. Jeff Daniels knows what he’s doing. I have no insight into his personal life, but I imagine this sandwich came together under very specific circumstances. He name-drops Ruffles and specifies cheddar and sour cream. He calls out creamy peanut butter and Sweet Baby Ray’s as favorites. Given how messy this thing is, pita bread feels less like a preference and more like the only logical thing holding it together.

That said, this doesn’t feel like a desperation snack. Jeff Daniels is a successful actor. His pantry is probably well-stocked. The enthusiasm he shows when describing it tells me the first time he made this, he was either half asleep or operating under the influence of some late-night cravings that can only be achieved under a specific set of extra-curricular activities. I’m not saying anything definitive, but it takes one to know one.

Jeff Daniels Sandwich SCORE

The flavors are sharp, distinct, and constantly competing. My tastebuds were in shock at first. The crunch of the chips against the creamy peanut butter makes your jaw work. Then the cheddar and sour cream hits. Then the barbecue sauce takes over. Then you’re back to peanut butter. As you keep going, everything starts to come together, and suddenly it clicks. It’s an elite combination of sweet, savory, and texture. It checks every box.

I Had To “Plus It Up”

As a fan of Sandwiches of History (I trust Barry Enderwick with my life), I had to plus up the Jeff Daniels Sandwich, and I put some real thought into it. The original is built on bold, accessible flavors, so I stuck to ingredients you’d realistically have on hand. I added mini pepperonis, chopped green onions, dill pickle, and hot honey, because that’s what I had lying around.

I also buttered and grilled the pita before assembling everything to give it a crispy, warm exterior.

I’ve been a musician most of my life, but this might be the first time I’ve legitimately felt like an artist. The original Jeff Daniels Sandwich is solid. I had it after my daily run as a recovery meal, but 650 calories wasn’t going to cut it. My version came in closer to 900, so between the two, I was covered, and slightly ashamed of myself. 

I’m not saying the Jeff Daniels Sandwich should be part of your daily routine. But the original version that blew up online is undeniably good. It’s filling, and it feels like you’ll need a nap when you finish it.

My variation of the Jeff Daniels Sandwich SCORE

My version, though, is one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in at least a year. Mixing hot honey with the Sweet Baby Ray’s adds a kick. The pepperoni and green onion sharpen the sweetness of the peanut butter. The pickle cuts through the blandness of the pita bread, and grilling the bread before assembly is a power move I’m still proud of.

I’ve got to hand it to you, Mr. Daniels. You created a monster, but I’ve seen the light. Thanks for sharing this and completely wrecking my diet for the next several days while I figure out what to do with the rest of this pita bread.

Back in 1999, Kevin Smith ended the millennium with Dogma, arguably the most ambitious film he ever made. His previous movies focused on more down-to-earth affairs, including the miseries of retail work and the joys of hanging out at the local mall. By comparison, Dogma followed the misadventures of two angels trying to get back into Heaven and the heroes who have to stop them from destroying the world. Along the way, Smith also brutally skewered the Christian faith through the character of Cardinal Glick, who tried to sell the public on Buddy Christ, a grinning caricature of Jesus who is perpetually giving a thumbs up.

As part of Glick’s speech, he described why he wanted the Buddy Christ to replace the crucifix: that it offered everyone who saw it “a positive reinforcement that whatever we do, God thinks is ‘A-okay.’” At the time, teenage me shook my head at Smith’s satire about a society that wanted the Almighty to rubber-stamp everything they say and do. Now, though, it seems Smith was a prophet: tech company Just Like Me is selling access to an AI-powered Jesus for the not-so-low, low price of $1.99 a minute.

He Is Ri$en

The concept of people talking to AI chatbots isn’t very new: in fact, people are chatting with, arguing with, and even falling in love with a plethora of bots each and every day. But what Just Like Me is doing is targeting Christians who long for a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ. For $1.99 a minute (or $49.99 a month for 45 minutes), users can speak to an AI bot that has been trained on the King James Bible and an array of unspecified sermons. Visually, the bot is modeled after actor Jonathan Roumie, who (thanks to long hair and a patina of heavenly light) really does look like Jesus.

Personally, I have a number of misgivings with this app. As someone who grew up going to church, this seems like a pretty clear violation of the Second Commandment, which tells humans not to create idols of God or Jesus. On a less religious note, this seems like a really gross way of taking people’s money. Like, who needs evangelistic grifters once you have Jesus himself asking you to upgrade to a premium subscription? Also, let’s be real: in the best case, this thing is going to lie to vulnerable people looking for someone to trust. In the worst case, this is going to create case after case of outright religious psychosis.

Subscribe To Jesus+

As a big Kevin Smith fan, though, I have been grimly amused at how much this AI-powered Jesus mirrors the portrayal of the Buddy Christ in Dogma. In the film, Cardinal Glick describes how he wanted Jesus to give everyone a  thumbs-up to offer “positive reinforcement” for “whatever we do.” This is, of course, what AI is notorious for: simply telling users what they want to hear. 

Glick also described Buddy Christ as a “happy Jesus” that he wanted to replace the “wholly depressing” image of the crucifix. Rhetorically, he asked the crowd, “Can’t you just see it on chains around people’s necks, and as the new background in avant-garde MTV videos?” The Jesus chatbot from Just Like Me really parallels this idea because the app developers aren’t trying to develop a Jesus avatar that will challenge beliefs and make someone’s faith stronger. Like the fictional Cardinal Glick, they just want to commodify Christ, turning this spiritual leader into an empty vessel filled with equally empty AI platitudes. 

Your Karma Ran Over My Dogma

Make no mistake: apps like this are designed to prey on people, and those of faith are uniquely vulnerable because, by definition, they are looking for someone else to guide their lives. The Jesus app from Just Like Me is one of many that will soon be offering spiritual advice to your friends and family members, especially older ones. Before they completely empty their wallets for this graven image, be sure to watch Dogma with them. That way, they’ll learn the danger of Buddy Christ and, through Glick’s grisly fate, the danger of supporting it.

Alternatively, they might just learn how hot Salma Hayek looks as a stripper. Either way, I’m calling that a win!
