Kathy Hilton is not going down that easily. According to a new report, the socialite and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star is fighting a woman named Kimberly Heffington in court. Legal documents state that Heffington suffered serious injuries while at Hilton’s home for a charity event. Hilton has responded in new documents, denying the allegations and demanding that Heffington be responsible for her own medical bills.

New court documents obtained by TMZ state that Hilton has denied the allegations brought forth by Heffington, noting that the plaintiff sustained injuries by coming in contact with a “known danger.”

Hilton, known for her philanthropic work, added that she should not be held liable for Heffington’s injuries or medical bills.

For those unfamiliar, Heffington sued Hilton in March 2026, claiming that she was injured while attending a charity event at Hilton’s Bel-Air mansion in August 2024.

Heffington alleged that her foot got stuck on the pavement at Hilton’s home, causing her to stumble, fall, and “land violently on the ground, causing her to suffer severe and permanent injuries, including but not limited to a complex medical meniscus tear to her right knee.”

Hilton was sued for negligence, as court documents stated that the reality star had no warning about potential safety hazards on the property.

Kathy Hilton’s Sisters Were Feuding Several Months Ago

Adding to the drama, Hilton’s sisters, Kim and Kyle Richards, were involved in a dramatic dispute just months ago.

According to a previous report from The Blast, Kyle sued Kim, seeking to have her evicted from a Los Angeles property she was living in.

Kyle claimed in the legal documents that she had been asking Kim to leave her home for years; however, the “Escape to Witch Mountain” star wouldn’t budge.

The court documents stated that Kyle not only asked for possession of her home but also wanted her sister, Kim, to be charged $140/day for each day she stayed after being asked to leave, beginning in November 2024.

While the drama between the two has been consistent since the first season of “RHOBH,” things escalated in late 2024 when Kim was taken into custody by police after reportedly acting belligerently in a Hilton hotel lobby.

Kathy Hilton Opens Up About Friendship With Former ‘RHOBH’ Cast Member Garcelle Beauvais

In May 2025, Hilton opened up about her friend, Garcelle Beauvais, leaving “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” after five years.

“I love and adore her. I called her obviously right when I walked off the set from the reunion and talked to her,” Hilton said. “And then we ended up having dinner with a friend like two days later.”

She continued, “And I tried to not bring up too much because I just want her to know that she’s very loved and will be missed. And everybody was shocked.”

Beauvais abruptly left the “RHOBH” season 14 reunion just moments before it wrapped, telling the women she was “out.”

In her dressing room, cameras captured Beauvais being honest about her feelings toward the other women, namely Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Sutton Stracke, and Bozoma Saint John.

“I’m just so f-cking sick of it,” Beauvais said. “I can’t be friends with people like that. I don’t trust them.”

Hilton Fought With Lisa Rinna

Hilton has also had her fair share of feuds on the long-running reality series. Most notably, the socialite and mother to Paris, bumped heads with the show’s biggest villain, Lisa Rinna, in 2022.

During a tense interaction, Hilton labeled Rinna “the biggest bully in Hollywood,” noting that the “Days of our Lives” alum had fought incessantly with other women on the show, including Yolanda Hadid, Lisa Vanderpump, and, of course, her sister Kim.

Rinna And Hilton Are In An OK Place These Days…

Despite the headline-making showdown, Hilton and Rinna are in a good place these days. In a December 2022 interview, Rinna recalled running into Hilton at a press event and having a “lovely” conversation with the 67-year-old.

“All good… all good. All I need to say. We had a fun time last night. We all did. It was a fun night,” Rinna said, brushing off their past feud as TV drama.

“You know, I think, at the end of the day, we do a TV show. So I think that after eight years and all the things that we’ve been through, we’re grown women and we can pretty much get through anything at the end of the day,” she said.

Dannielynn Birkhead is stepping into the spotlight and doing it entirely on her own terms. The 19-year-old daughter of Anna Nicole Smith made a striking appearance during Kentucky Derby weekend, showing off a dramatic new style at the annual Barnstable Brown Derby Eve party. Accompanied by her father, Larry Birkhead, Dannielynn turned heads with a fresh pixie haircut featuring black tips and a gothic-inspired ensemble that marked a clear departure from her past looks.

According to Larry, the moment was all about his daughter embracing her individuality. “People [are] always looking for her to wear something of her mom. And she’s done that a couple times, but this is kind of Dannielynn showing off her own sense of style, and she said it’s a goth rock theme,” he told PEOPLE.

The look featured a Punk Rave Gothic-inspired strapless corset gown paired with a flowing sheer skirt, a bold evolution from the brighter styles she’s worn to the event in previous years.

Dannielynn Birkhead Debuts Edgy Hair Makeover As Dad Admits He Was ‘A Little Worried’

Dannielynn’s edgy new hairstyle was also a major talking point. “She wanted something edgy and cool,” Larry shared, revealing that a hairstylist who had been a friend of her late mother helped bring the vision to life. “She chopped it all off and put some wild colors in it. I was kind of bracing myself at the hair salon,” he added with a laugh. “I guess she’s at the age to do what she wants to do.”

While the transformation surprised him at first, Larry admitted he ultimately supports his daughter’s decisions. He said he was “a little worried about it” initially, but acknowledged that she’s “obviously old enough” to make her own choices. “This year is a different style for Dannielynn, and this is kind of, I think, her coming into her own, doing her own thing and kind of exuding her own style and her choices that she made.”

Dannielynn Birkhead Juggles Finals While Styling Dad For Derby Night ‘Fashion Upgrade’

The look didn’t come together without a little stress. Larry revealed that Dannielynn was juggling school finals while planning her outfit, forcing them to coordinate remotely. “Although it was tough because she was in school taking finals, so I had to help kind of send these pictures back and forth, and then she kind of eliminated one by one, and then I think she got to the end and said, ‘Quit bothering me. I’m in finals,’ ” he said.

The fashion moment didn’t stop with her own outfit. Dannielynn also helped upgrade her dad’s look for the night. “She said I needed to up my fashion game,” Larry joked. “That I had no sense of style. And so she was determined to pick my outfit out.”

He ended up wearing a black blazer adorned with rhinestones and lightning bolt detailing, calling the finished look “very wild” for him.

Dannielynn Birkhead Honors Anna Nicole Smith While Stepping Into Her Own Spotlight

Though this year’s look was all about carving her own identity, Dannielynn has often honored her late mother through fashion. After Anna Nicole Smith’s death in 2007, when Dannielynn was just 5 months old, the Kentucky Derby has become a meaningful tradition for the pair.

Over the years, she’s worn pieces that once belonged to her mother, keeping that connection alive while growing into her own spotlight. Now, with this latest appearance, it’s clear Dannielynn is balancing both, honoring the past while confidently stepping into her own future.

Kentucky Derby 2026 Set To Bring High Stakes Racing And High Fashion

As the spotlight shifts from red carpets to the racetrack, the Kentucky Derby is set to take place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, with post time scheduled for 7:02 p.m. ET. This year’s race is already generating buzz, with contenders like Commandment, So Happy, Renegade, and Further Ado among the early favorites based on morning line odds. But beyond the competition, the Kentucky Derby remains just as much about fashion as it is about racing.

Often dubbed the “Run for the Roses,” the event is known for its over-the-top style moments, from bold, wide-brimmed hats and fascinators to vibrant dresses and tailored suits that rival any red carpet. With standout looks already turning heads during Derby weekend events, the main race is expected to deliver both thrilling finishes on the track and unforgettable fashion moments off it.

He might be nearing 90 years old, but nothing is going to slow Ridley Scott down. Later this year, Scott will try to put his disappointing pair of most recent movies — Napoleon and Gladiator II — out of mind with the release of his newest sci-fi venture. The Dog Stars, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi film that adapts Peter Heller‘s novel of the same name, hasn’t had the smoothest road to release, being pushed from its original March 27, 2026, release date to August 28, 2026. Although some believed this was due to a competitive spring market, it’s also been reported that test screenings proved so positive that August was deemed a better time to capitalize on the movie’s potential.

As can be expected from a Scott movie, the cast for The Dog Stars is stacked with talent, including Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, and Guy Pearce. Given the cast involved and Scott’s penchant for producing critically acclaimed sci-fi, it’s easy to assume the movie will be one of the best of the year. However, Scott certainly isn’t immune to disappointments, with one of his biggest failures released back in 2014. The film in question is Exodus: Gods and Kings, an ambitious biblical epic that awarded Scott a hefty $140 million budget and the freedom to produce an unforgettable cinematic experience.

Alas, critics were less than pleased, with Exodus: Gods and Kings earning just 29% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. This is despite the film’s impressive cast, much like the upcoming The Dog Stars, which was led by Christian Bale as Moses and Joel Edgerton as Ramses. The rest of the ensemble included Ben Kingsley as Nun, John Turturro as Seti, Aaron Paul as Joshua, Ben Mendelsohn as Viceroy Hegep, long-time Scott collaborator Sigourney Weaver as Tuya, and Indira Varma as the High Priestess.

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ Is Bouncing Back

Twelve years after it left a lot to be desired in its poor theatrical run, Exodus: Gods and Kings is bouncing back on streaming ahead of the release of The Dog Stars. At the time of writing, the movie is one of the ten most-streamed in the U.S. on free streamer Tubi, a feat made all the more impressive when considering the film’s tough competition, which includes Sean Connery’s The Rock, a pair of Predator movies, and Martin Scorsese‘s gangster masterpiece GoodFellas.

Exodus: Gods and Kings was a streaming hit on Tubi, although sadly left the platform on April 30. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

The landscape of daytime television is changing, with one of the most recent casualties being Sherri Shepherd‘s daytime talk show. Now, as the series nears its end, the beloved actress and comedian is opening up about her future in entertainment and revealing if she’ll consider bringing “Sherri” to social media.

TMZ interviewed Shepherd in May 2026 as she was leaving an event. The conversation started with the reporter noting the rise of celebrities making content on social media. They then asked the comedian if she would consider a similar fate for “Sherri” as it’s set to end.

She responded, “I don’t know. It’s like 6 million podcasts out there, so I have to figure out what I can do that’s different from the 6 million podcasts out there.” From there, the 59-year-old revealed that she had considered bringing the show to social media.

However, she’s also an acclaimed actress who has worked in sitcoms and films, and Shepherd stated that she’s considering returning to acting full-time. When asked if she’s gotten any offers, the host said, “I’ve had meetings and everything.”

The Host Teased New Projects

Shepherd continued her interview with TMZ and was then asked whether she plans to take a break after “Sherri” ends. According to her, “As soon as I finish my tour, I gotta go to South Africa to film my movie, ‘Angel in the Rubbel.’”

She went on to reveal that she’s executive producing the film alongside Robin Roberts for Lifetime. Additionally, she has a Hallmark movie set to be released, as well as a romance novel. Shepherd said, “No breaks,” before teasing that she’ll be on “somebody’s TV.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the “Trial & Error” alum was asked about the most surprising phone call she’s received amid news that Debmar Mercury had canceled “Sherri.” She said, “I’ve gotten phone calls from a lot of celebrities. Cussing folks out. I’ve got ratched celebrities that love me.”

Shepherd added, “But everybody’s been so encouraging, and the love has just been absolutely amazing.”

Fans Know Sherri Shepherd Will Bounce Back

Shepherd has made it no secret that hosting a daytime talk show was one of her career ambitions. Because of this, the news of her show’s cancellation is even harder for fans of the series, as well as for those who were fans of Shepherd years before the series. Now, many of them are reacting to her potentially bringing the show to social media and her upcoming projects

One person wrote on X, “It seems like she finally accepted that her talk show is canceled and it’s time to move on.” Someone else said, “If Sherri Shepherd smiles any harder her teeth may fall out. Masking that anger…”

After that, a different social media user stated, “Excited to see what’s next for Sherri Shepherd, she’s just getting started. She’s too talented to slow down. Whatever comes next will be big.” Another person said, “DUHH, go back to acting! What do you even mean?”

Lastly, someone else used a Wendy Williams GIF, writing, “Bring back Wendy!”

Gayle King Surprised Sherri For Her Final Live Show

There are still several more airdates for “Sherri.” However, on April 30, the series’ final live show aired, with journalist Gayle King surprising the host by wearing the same outfit as her for a special appearance.

King said on Instagram alongside a video of the appearance, “I love a good surprise! @sherrieshepherd’s team invited me to her last live show today and asked that I wear the same @bruceglen dress.”

She continued, “It’s a thing with me and Sherri! I can’t imagine daytime TV without Sherri. There’s nobody like her on the air, and here’s hoping she’s back on TV with a new show sooner rather than later. In the meantime, lucky us we can keep watching @sherrishowtv until [the] end of May!”

There Will Be Several More Guests On ‘Sherri’

Though the final live episode of “Sherri” has aired, several more are still scheduled for broadcast. Per the show’s official website, the week of May 4 through 8 will feature celebrities such as Carson Kresley, Matt Friend, and Taraji P. Henson.

According to Block Topickz on X, the final week of shows has also been set. According to the report, Niecy Nash-Betts will be the show’s final guest. It will air on May 21. Though May 21 will be the final new episode of the series, reruns will continue airing into the fall.

Editor’s note: The below mentions sexual assault and domestic abuse.

Margaret Atwood may be best known for her seminal novel The Handmaid’s Tale, but the prolific writer has six decades’ worth of published material under her belt. Given that repertoire, her works haven’t been brought to screen as often as one would expect. In a fun twist of fate, the same year that Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale debuted to widespread acclaim, a correspondingly visceral adaptation of Atwood’s 1996 book hit Netflix.

Directed by Mary Harron (American Psycho) and written by Sarah Polley (Women Talking), the Canadian miniseries Alias Grace fictionalizes the life of Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon), a notoriously controversial historical figure. Harron and Polley magnify Atwood’s scathing analysis into an enthralling psychological thriller ripe with impeccable suspense, lush subtlety, and fraught curiosity.

What Is ‘Alias Grace’ About?

In 1843, 16-year-old Irish immigrant Grace Marks and her fellow servant, James McDermott (Kerr Logan), were convicted of murdering their wealthy Canadian employer, Thomas Kinnear (Paul Gross), and his housekeeper-slash-lover, Nancy Montgomery (Anna Paquin). McDermott was executed, but the court commuted Grace’s death sentence to life in prison. Three decades later, Grace received a formal pardon and vanished like smoke in the wind.

Debate still ripples over whether Grace was an accessory in McDermott’s vicious double homicide, an active perpetrator, or an unaware bystander McDermott kidnapped and framed as a scheming mastermind. Atwood’s creative liberties embrace the true crime case’s turbulent economic backdrop and the symbolic potential behind the verdict’s unsettling ambiguity. Alias Grace offers no definitive answers; even the details Grace describes as indisputable fact could be fabricated.

Regardless, the events inform the outlook of this “celebrated murderess” — and her father’s childhood abuse, her mother’s traumatic death, and her younger siblings depending upon her as a financial provider, strike too close to home to suspend disbelief. Grace’s employers enjoy their comforts while her sore, sweaty muscles scrub floors, any complaints locked behind her closed teeth. Grace repeats such obedience during her sanatorium days and earns special privileges for behaving as composed and articulate as decorum dictates.

‘Alias Grace’ Combines History, Speculation, and Biting Critique

Underneath Grace’s studiously neutral expressions, however, lies astute intelligence and seething resentment. Household after household, she witnesses how predatory men corner, assault, and kill women in a casual and remorseless cycle. One privileged son sweeps Grace’s only friend, the rebellious Mary Whitney (Rebecca Liddiard), off her feet. Once she’s pregnant, he abandons her. Desperate, knowing her tarnished reputation is an unmarried worker’s death sentence, Mary risks an illegal abortion and dies from mutilation and blood loss. Grace comprehends the agonizing rhythm of her Puritanical world — which some women uphold for their own security or superiority — long before it commodifies her into a sensationalized, malleable blank slate upon which to project patriarchal misogyny.

Regardless of Grace’s guilt or innocence, every reporter, judge, and civilian twists her testimony to suit their contradictory agendas. For some, she’s a propaganda cautionary tale: a sinful seductress who violated her subservient role. Those campaigning for her exoneration paint her as a guileless and pure victim. Bored socialites gawk because they crave thrilling entertainment. As for her mental and physical distress, consider yourself unsurprised that the doctors and penitentiary wards who brutally torture and rape Grace dismiss her as hysterical — the 19th century’s favorite catch-all diagnosis for women whose pain and fury defy an oppressive system.

Harron and Polley contrast how Victorian restraints warp Grace into a cultural lightning rod with the subversive opening image of her staring at her reflection. Grace’s identity as a working-class immigrant teenager navigating layered prejudices (class, gender, religion, xenophobia) illuminates why she’s offered up like a buffet feast. Everyone wants to pin this intriguing anomaly on their walls like a display insect. Yet Grace denies anyone access to her true self; they have no right to her last unmarred, private fragment. Even Grace’s unreliable narration invites the audience in yet holds them at a distance, evading facts when it matters most. She remains a self-contained mystery as painstakingly patchwork as Atwood’s quilt motif.

‘Alias Grace’ Is an Enthralling and Elusive Tragedy

If Grace indeed got away with murder, was the act born of cruelty or because she saw violence as the only way to express resistance? Was she akin to the trapped animal that gnaws its leg off to escape — her survival instincts and cumulative rage misdirected? Either disquieting way, Atwood’s interpretation manipulates psychiatrist Simon Jordan (Edward Holcroft). Although he presumes himself kind, he falls for his preconceived, constructed fantasy of a delicate creature who needs white-knight protection, and his sexual violence still explodes like an inevitable bomb. Jordan’s infatuated lust is another form of imprisonment; Grace’s sly rejection is the best justice she can seize.

Polley’s reverence for Atwood’s lyrical prose and resonant critiques shines through her superb translation. Harron’s adept hand for violence and satire lends itself to a psychological miasma — the laser-focused close-ups, the dread permeating like walls closing in. Piece by piece, the mesmerizing Gadon embodies a woman with manifold depth. Her straight-backed, opaque poise and piercing, soulful eyes attest to a subjugated child who’s never had the luxury of naivety, as well as a discerning, lonely adult whose safety depends upon satisfying performative mandates. All this said, one does wish for a multifaceted tableau that isn’t as white-centric. Even so, Alias Grace haunts viewers like the hushed murmurs of “murderess” trail Grace’s steps.
