Country music singer Lauren Alaina is grateful to God and her daughter for helping her move forward after a devastating death in the family.

“The last couple of years of my life have been very life-changing, not just because I became a mother. I also lost my father, which I’ve talked a lot about,” Alaina, 31, shared on the Wednesday, April 15, episode of iHeartRadio’s “If You Can Hear Me” podcast. “A lot of my prayers are praying for healing from that and also still trying to be healed enough to be a good mom and to be there for her and to do the right things.”

In July 2024, Alaina announced the death of her father, J.J. Suddeth. Five months later, the singer revealed she was expecting a baby girl with husband Cam Arnold.

“My dad died and I found out I was pregnant two months later, and she was a big surprise,” Alaina told podcast host Ben Higgins. “So my biggest prayer right now is just to heal from that and to be present with her and to be a good wife and a good mom and a good businesswoman.”

The countdown to Easter Sunday is on, and many in Hollywood are celebrating their faith out loud. Whether through social media and podcasts or TV shows and films, several celebrities aren’t afraid to share a glimpse into their spiritual journey with fans. For some religious leaders, it’s a decision that should be met with love […]

The “Ladies in the ‘90s” singer continued,” “Honestly, my career is the thing I probably pray for the least right now. It’s really my heart and my healing and being a mom that is most important to me right now.”

In the last year, Alaina has navigated the difficult balance of following her dreams while being a loving and devoted mother.

As she traveled the country as part of Rascal Flatts’ latest tour, the American Idol alum realized what’s most important to her.

“I spend a lot of time praying about it, trying to figure out what to do and what not to do, and when is it worth it, and when is it not worth it?” she said about her music opportunities. “Because I’m not going to miss everything. I’m not gonna be gone all the time. I’m just not going to do that anymore. But I am lucky.”

In Osaka, Japan, three yakuza have disgraced their boss. With death being the only other option, they are asked to cut off part of their pinky fingers as a sign of loyalty. Two of them perform the task without hesitation, while the last one chickens out. He is beheaded on the spot. The two surviving yakuza are sent to Normal, Minnesota, to redeem themselves.

Three weeks later, Sheriff Ulysses Richardson (Bob Odenkirk) is sent to Normal as the temporary sheriff for eight weeks. Ulysses is easy to get along with, personable, and laid back. He relates to people and can talk to them, but he also knows when something doesn’t feel right.

Odenkirk Operating On God Mode

Everything in Normal is fairly routine, as paperwork and telling people that “there’s nothing to see here” is essentially what Ulysses does all day long. That is, until a bank robbery occurs and Ulysses stumbles onto a secret that he’s never meant to see.

Directed by Ben Wheatley (Meg 2: The Trench) and written by Derek Kolstad (the John Wick and Nobody films) and Odenkirk, Normal is a fast-paced action thriller. At 90 minutes, Normal doesn’t try to be anything that it isn’t. The action is heavy, the premise is simple, and the humor is amusing enough to remain entertaining throughout. It may be worth noting that Normal continues the common action film trope of one guy being able to battle off hundreds. It’s understandable if that’s too much of an issue to enjoy the film, but honestly, its unlikely concept makes the events that unfold all the more enjoyable.

‘Saul Good, Man

As Normal progresses, you can tell that something isn’t right in Normal. Even Ulysses is hiding something that isn’t revealed at first. However, the separation from his wife is something he’s open about from the moment the character is introduced. Ulysses hasn’t spoken to his wife in a long time, but he calls her regularly and leaves voicemails. What he says in those voicemails serves as the film’s narration.

Ulysses is always calm and is plagued by the same nightmare at the one motel in town he stays at every night. Odenkirk has moments where he’s able to be poignant and rightfully distant. The character isn’t overly emotional, but Odenkirk’s performance portrays Ulysses in a positive light. He doesn’t take the temporary sheriff gig too seriously because the one serious aspect of his life fell apart because of him. However, when it hits the fan, he seems to know how to handle the situation.

Come For The Carnage, Stay For The Contrast

Outside of Ulysses, a flaw that Normal has is that there isn’t much character development outside of “here’s this town in the middle of nowhere full of schmucks, now watch them all die.” Henry Winkler is around long enough to introduce himself as the asshole mayor, while Lena Headey is Moira, the town bartender who has little to no backstory other than she can play pool and always has booze on her.

The rest of the Normal police force is just as forgettable. Deputy Mike Nelson (Billy MacLellan) does nothing but kiss Ulysses’ ass while Deputy Blaine Anderson (Ryan Allen) lets Ulysses do all the hard work as sheriff before he thinks he’ll be able to take over the role full-time. The film introduces Alex (Jess McLeod) as a trans character with a troubled past, but very little is done with them, and the character’s ending is a little disappointing.

The action sequences are where Normal reels you in, and everything in the film changes after what is discovered in the bank vault during the robbery. Taking place in Minnesota, Normal is either a film set in constant snow or one that’s actively snowing throughout. There are two gunfights, and they are visually awesome because of the color contrast. There’s gunfire in the snow at night, which is this battle of sporadic yellow muzzle flashes from guns and the soft white snow falling to the ground.

Soon after, there’s a gunfight in one of the shops when the power is out, and the visuals are almost nothing but darkness. Those explosive muzzle flashes are set against a nearly black interior, with glimpses of the attackers and whatever weapon they’ve chosen. There’s a free-for-all battle featuring everybody near the end of the film with squishy, breakneck violence where nearly every person on-screen dies in some gruesome way. At 63, Odenkirk is surprisingly solid at hand-to-hand action sequences, even if there are a lot of noticeable cuts.

Normal is a flawed action film, but it uses its basic concept effectively. Its throwaway characters are used to a kick ass and bullet-heavy advantage while the action is swift, brutal, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. This is a bite-sized action film that delivers unabbreviated destruction.

Normal is now playing in theaters.

UPDATE 4/21/26 at 4:38 p.m. ET —

Ben Williamson, assistant director for public affairs at the FBI, has responded to ABC News’ report that potentially critical DNA has been recovered at Nancy Guthrie’s home.

“Still receiving inquiries on this: this is not new evidence or information,” he wrote via X on Monday, April 20, while reposting the outlet’s report. “FBI asked to test this DNA 2 months ago with the same technology we’ve always had – when the local Sheriff instead sent it to a private lab. Any further developments we will share as soon as appropriate.”

Original story:

The FBI is reportedly reviewing potentially critical DNA recovered from the home of Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, amid her ongoing disappearance.

Sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News on Thursday, April 16, that a private Florida lab that works with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department recently sent the sample to the FBI.

The FBI is reportedly utilizing new technology to conduct advanced analysis on the DNA sample to see if it can point to Nancy’s abductor.

Us Weekly reached out to the FBI for comment.

Authorities have found “DNA other than Nancy Guthrie’s and those in close contact to her” as the investigation into her disappearance continues. The DNA evidence was discovered and collected at her property, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared in a statement with multiple media outlets on Friday, February 13. “Investigators are working to identify who […]

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, meanwhile, said in a statement that they have worked with the FBI “since the beginning” of the investigation and “this is not new information.”

“As previously stated by the Sheriff, the private laboratory we utilize in Florida continues to share information with the FBI laboratory and other partner labs across the country,” the statement to Us read on Thursday. “DNA analysis remains ongoing, and this investigation is active.”

Nancy, 84, was reported missing in February by a family member who called 911. The FBI then released black-and-white images from Nancy’s doorbell security camera of a man in a ski mask on her porch the morning of her disappearance. Authorities have yet to name a suspect in her case.

Days later, news broke of a search warrant out for a man identified as Luke Daley. He was then detained for hours and released without being charged. His mother was also detained by law enforcement while their home was searched for a possible connection to Nancy’s abduction.

Amid the ongoing search, Savannah, 54, confirmed that her family’s reward for Nancy’s recovery had been increased to $1 million. (Nancy shared daughters Annie and Savannah and son Camron with late husband Charles Guthrie, who died in 1988 after a heart attack.)

The FBI has been blocked from accessing key evidence in the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mom, Nancy Guthrie, according to a new report. A law enforcement official told Reuters on Thursday, February 12, that the FBI requested that the Pima County Sheriff’s Department send physical evidence — including a glove and other DNA — […]

Savannah, for her part, said in her first interview since Nancy’s disappearance that she still has “hope” for resolution in the case. While the family is unsure of what a motive might be in abducting Nancy, Savannah became emotional while wondering if the kidnapping was due to her fame. (Savannah returned to the Today show earlier this month.)

“Honestly, we don’t know anything. We don’t know anything. So, I don’t know that it’s because she’s my mom and somebody thought, ‘Oh, that lady has money, we can make a quick buck,’” she told Hoda Kotb in an interview that aired in March on Today. “That would make sense, but we don’t know. … It’s just too much to bear to think that I brought this to her bedside. That it’s because of me. I have to say, I’m so sorry, Mommy.”

NewsNation senior national correspondent Brian Entin, who has been covering this story from the beginning, exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month that he doesn’t believe the case is going cold.

“If I felt like it was going cold, I would tell you. I just don’t,” he told Us. “We have the picture of the suspect. Something is going to break. And I know for us, it feels like forever. It’s now been more than two months. But when I talk to these detectives, they break cases five, 10 years later. I don’t think it’s going to be that long in this case, but I do think for sure there’s going to be a break.”

Emily Blunt went to extreme lengths to keep her red carpet look under wraps. The actress reportedly made a stealthy exit through the back corridors of her hotel ahead of the “The Devil Wears Prada 2” premiere in New York City, weaving through service hallways and slipping out a side door to dodge photographers. Bottom line? Emily Blunt’s route to the red carpet was anything but glamorous, despite what she was wearing.

Emily Blunt Sneaks Out Back To Avoid Paparazzi Ahead Of ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Premiere

According to Page Six sources, she navigated through the hotel’s behind-the-scenes maze before heading to Lincoln Center, all while dressed in a champagne-colored couture gown featuring a dramatic tiered skirt and a necklace made up of more than 300 pearls.

“It was a funny sight to see Blunt in a massive, priceless couture Schiaparelli gown passing by dumpsters and staff folding laundry,” one source said, while another insider added that hotel staff was caught completely off guard by the unexpected moment.

Blunt’s Couture Look Too Dramatic To Sit

The intricate design of the gown, from Daniel Roseberry’s Spring/Summer 2026 Couture collection, reportedly made it nearly impossible for Blunt to sit down. After slipping out of the hotel, she hopped into a Sprinter van for the short ride to the premiere, where she reportedly remained standing the entire time.

“My stylist Jessica Paster sent it to me from the couture runway, and knew it would be the one,” Blunt told Vogue. “And if you’re going to go big for a premiere, well, I’m not sure there’s one more appropriate for this dress than ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ premiere.”

Blunt later changed into a second look by Balmain for the afterparty, trading in the oversized skirt for something more manageable.

Meryl Streep’s Jaw-Dropping Reaction To Emily Blunt’s Gown Goes Viral

And if there was any doubt that Blunt nailed the moment, Meryl Streep’s reaction sealed it. In a now-viral clip shared by HELLO! Magazine, Streep was seen giving Blunt’s dramatic Schiaparelli gown a full once-over, and fans couldn’t help but notice the unmistakable Miranda Priestly energy.

As Blunt turned from posing for photos to face her co-stars, Streep’s jaw visibly dropped while taking in the scale of the look, creating a moment that instantly felt straight out of “The Devil Wears Prada.”

Blunt Calls Comeback A ‘Rude Awakening’

Blunt is stepping back into one of her most iconic roles, reprising Emily Charlton in “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” nearly 20 years after the original film’s debut. Reflecting on the return, Blunt previously shared that the franchise still holds deep meaning for the cast. “It has deep emotional roots for a lot” of them, she told PEOPLE, noting that revisiting the world of Runway wasn’t just about “doing a movie.”

But while the nostalgia is real, so are the fashion challenges. “I don’t love wearing heels, so getting back to ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ has been a rude awakening for all of us,” she admitted.

Meryl Streep Brings Miranda Priestly Back To Life In Head-Turning Red Cape At NYC Premiere

At the premiere, Blunt reunited with co-stars Anne Hathaway and Streep, who fully stepped back into character. The actress embraced major Miranda Priestly energy in a striking red cape coat from Givenchy, designed by Sarah Burton for the Fall 2026 collection. She paired the dramatic, high-neckline piece with black leather opera gloves, sleek Stuart Weitzman heels, and sparkling David Yurman jewelry, creating a look that felt both powerful and polished.

Hathaway delivered her own standout moment on the red carpet, stepping out in a custom Louis Vuitton gown designed by Nicolas Ghesquière. The bold red satin look featured a structured corseted bodice with a sweetheart neckline, elevated by dramatic pointed details at each side, giving the ensemble a sharp, fashion-forward edge that perfectly fit the high-style world of “The Devil Wears Prada 2.”

The event also drew a major crowd, including Anna Wintour, Lady Gaga, Coco Rocha, Christian Siriano, Marc Jacobs, Dylan Sprouse, Heidi Klum, and Justin Theroux, proving the sequel premiere was as fashionable as fans hoped.

Adding to the intrigue, B.J. Novak shared that his character, Jay Ravitz, will play a disruptive, villain-like role within the Runway fashion empire.

Jack Quaid and Claudia Doumit went from costars to lovers.

The couple started working together on Amazon Prime’s The Boys. Quaid has played tech genius Hughie Campbell since the show’s premiere in 2019, while Doumit began appearing as Victoria Neuman, a politician turned supervillain, in 2020.

Two years after Doumit joined The Boys, she and Quaid seemingly confirmed their romance when they were spotted holding hands in Australia while promoting season 3 of their show.

In July 2023, a source told Us Weekly that Quaid and Doumit were “still together and going strong.”

While the duo have chosen to keep their relationship very private, they made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Oscars and Doumit supported Quaid at the premiere of his film Novocaine in March 2025.

Denise Richards and Patrick Muldoon shared a bond spanning more than three decades before his sudden death in April 2026 at age 57 following a heart attack.

Through short-lived romance in the ’90s, a deep friendship and a reality TV reunion, Richards never held back about what the man she called “schweet babe” meant to her.

Keep scrolling to read Richards’ sweetest quotes about Muldoon:

How Denise Richards and Patrick Muldoon Connected

Denise Richards and Patrick Muldoon’s story started long before they were costars in 1997’s Starship Troopers. The two crossed paths in an acting class when she was 19 and he was 21, and what began as an on-and-off romance turned into one of the deepest friendships in Richards’ life.

During a 2019 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Richards reflected on their history: “I’ve known Patrick Muldoon since I was 19 years old. We call each other ‘schweet babe’ because we had nicknames on Starship Troopers for everyone.”

She added on that same episode: “We were on and off for quite a few years.”

On a March 2025 episode of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, Richards estimated their time together: “We were together for, I would say, s***, almost five years, maybe.”

Denise Richards on the Friendship That Outlasted Her Marriages

After the romance faded around 2000, Denise Richards and Patrick Muldoon kept their friendship alive — though it wasn’t always smooth. Their bond hit a pause during Richards’ marriage to Charlie Sheen from 2002 to 2006. By the time Richards married Aaron Phypers in September 2018, the dynamic had shifted, and Muldoon attended the wedding as a guest.

“I did not speak to Pat when I was married to Charlie,” Richards said on her Bravo show in March 2025. “And it was hard, because I didn’t want to lose him as a friend. But toward the end of the marriage, I talked to him all the time about him.”

She added, “Mine and Pat’s relationship romantically was years ago and it’s just a deep friendship. I’m so grateful Aaron respects that because Charlie, he had a hard time with my relationship with Pat.”

Denise Richards’ Devastating Tribute After Patrick Muldoon’s Death

After Patrick Muldoon died in April 2026, Denise Richards poured her heart out on Instagram. Richards described Muldoon as her best friend, her family and her rock — painting a portrait of a bond that was “unconditional and rare.” Her words captured more than three decades of love and loyalty.

“This is so hard for me to put into words. I am deeply heartbroken & devastated losing you. You were my best friend & my family,” she wrote. “The friendship, love, support, respect & loyalty we had was unconditional and rare. You lit up every room you walked into. You are larger than life & everyone was drawn to you.”

The Sheen Sisters’ Thoughts on Denise Richards and Patrick Muldoon

Scooter Braun is facing renewed scrutiny after a new court filing appeared to connect him more closely to an alleged smear campaign shaking Hollywood.

The controversy, tied to multiple lawsuits and high-profile feuds, has raised serious questions about digital attacks, reputation damage, and the powerful figures potentially operating behind the scenes in an unfolding legal battle.

Scooter Braun Named In Expanding Smear Campaign Claims

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the latest developments stem from an updated legal complaint that builds on earlier allegations about a network of anonymous websites designed to damage reputations.

The situation first gained attention through a lawsuit tied to the legal clash between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni over “It Ends with Us,” a case scheduled to go to trial in May.

Publicist Stephanie Jones initially alleged the existence of a “cottage industry” of defamatory sites, claiming they followed a coordinated strategy linked to crisis publicist Melissa Nathan and online operative Jed Wallace.

A separate lawsuit from actress and activist Alexa Nikolas further expanded the claims, naming attorney Bryan Freedman as a defendant.

According to the filings, these digital campaigns allegedly spread unverified accusations ranging from financial crimes to more serious allegations, using coordinated social media activity to amplify damaging narratives.

Freedman has denied involvement, previously describing the accusations as “speculation presented as fact.”

Scooter Braun Connection Emerges Through Legal Dispute

The updated complaint introduces a new layer by linking Nikolas’ case to financier Peter Comisar, who previously had a legal dispute with Scooter Braun.

The connection reportedly appears through backend search engine data, suggesting overlapping strategies in how reputational attacks were carried out.

“This overlap … appears to evidence common strategies being used against Ms. Nikolas and Mr. Comisar,” Nikolas’ attorney stated in the filing.

Comisar’s earlier lawsuit against Braun and music executive David Bolno adds further context.

In that case, Comisar alleged that “Bolno stated that Braun would trash Comisar’s pristine reputation,” and that Braun “alluded to a smear campaign that [he] would unleash.”

Since then, various online platforms and social media accounts have surfaced with claims questioning Comisar’s personal and professional background, deepening concerns about coordinated digital efforts.

Braun’s Industry Ties Add Complexity To Claims

Scooter Braun’s long-standing influence in the entertainment industry adds another dimension to the controversy.

Known for managing global stars like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Demi Lovato, Braun later transitioned into a broader business role with stakes in major entertainment ventures.

His involvement with Hybe, which acquired his company in 2021, is now being examined in relation to the allegations.

Braun previously served as CEO of the company’s American division, a position that placed him at the center of key business decisions and partnerships.

While no direct wrongdoing has been proven, the legal filings suggest that Braun’s past disputes and business connections may intersect with the broader smear campaign claims.

None of the individuals named in the filings have publicly responded to requests for comment.

Scooter Braun Linked To Wider Network Of Alleged Targets

The controversy appears to extend beyond a single dispute, with multiple figures reportedly targeted in similar ways.

One example involves K-pop executive Min Hee-jin, who has also been connected to online attacks while engaged in her own legal conflict with Hybe.

In a January Instagram post, Min shared that she had met with legal counsel to investigate the situation further, writing that she had spoken with someone “who’s currently handling lawsuits in the U.S. to uncover what [Nathan’s firm] TAG PR has really been up to,” before adding, “Pieces are starting to come together.”

Although she did not elaborate, the statement hinted at a broader pattern of activity linking multiple cases and individuals.

Business ties have also drawn attention. Hybe’s U.S. division previously held a controlling interest in TAG PR during Braun’s tenure, and the company later divested from it in 2025.

Around the same time, Bolno reportedly formed a business partnership with Wallace, further intertwining key figures mentioned in the lawsuits.

Legal Fallout Continues As Questions Remain Unanswered

As the legal battle unfolds, the broader implications of the allegations continue to ripple through the industry.

The lawsuits raise concerns about how digital platforms can be used to shape narratives and damage reputations on a large scale.

Adding to the complexity, testimony from ongoing proceedings has referenced past crisis management efforts tied to Bolno, including work following a high-profile tragedy.

While Bolno described the incident as a “terrible tragedy,” he denied any responsibility.

Meanwhile, Sigrid McCawley, representing Blake Lively, framed the issue as one of accountability and exposure.

“For Blake Lively, the greatest measure of justice is that the people and the playbook behind these coordinated digital attacks have been exposed and are already being held accountable,” she said.

With multiple lawsuits progressing and new details continuing to emerge, the controversy surrounding Scooter Braun remains unresolved.

As more connections are examined, the situation is likely to evolve further, keeping the spotlight firmly on the intersection of celebrity, power, and digital influence.
