Actor Russell Andrews announced that he has been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS.

“I am a person living with ALS. I was diagnosed in the late fall of last year. It’s been humbling,” Andrews, 64, said during a Saturday, May 16, appearance on CNN’s The Story Is With Elex Michaelson alongside his fiancée, actress Erica Tazel.

Andrews, whose credits include roles in Straight Outta Compton and Better Call Saul, said he first experienced symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease, which affects the brain and spinal cord, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I thought I had a stroke during COVID. It was a stressful time,” he said, adding that his health issues were compounded by the fact that he was unable to work during the pandemic, as well as the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is more commonly known as ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. Grey’s Anatomy alum Eric Dane announced in April 2025 that he had been diagnosed with the nervous system disease. “I have been diagnosed with ALS,” the actor shared in a statement. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side […]

“There were moments there were twitches. There were things that I thought I was having pinched nerves in my neck and they were quite frequent,” he explained. “I was not able to do things that I normally do. I was dropping cups and glasses, and in the night, it felt like things were running up and down my arm at different times, and it was the nerves.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, “ALS often begins with muscle twitching and weakness in an arm or leg, trouble swallowing, or slurred speech. Eventually ALS affects the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe. There is no cure for this fatal disease, but research into new therapies is ongoing.”

CNN reported that Tazel, whose credits include a role on the hit show Justified, is stepping into the role of caretaker for her fiancé.

“The processing is a process. When he originally shared with me, I say I was uncharacteristically calm,” Tazel, 49, said. “In a way, it was an answer to a lot of questions that we had. There were certain things that we started to see that were different. For example, it took him longer to clean the pool. The way he walked, there was a subtle little [change] … things like that. I had questions. I was like, ‘Something is definitely wrong,’ and so we now know what it was.”

Tazel told CNN anchor Elex Michaelson that she has learned “there are cases” where love “is truly unconditional,” as she has stood by Andrews’ side.

“When he shared the news with me, again, there was not a sigh of relief, but some understanding of what was happening, and I looked at him across the room, and I said, ‘At least now we know what it is and I still want to be your wife,’” the actress said.

Andrews, Tazel and his family have also received support from the ALS Network, which advocates for the detection, treatment and cure of the disease.

Andrews’ reveal on Saturday comes amid ALS Awareness Month, which takes place during the month of May.

Former Grey’s Anatomy actor Eric Dane died at age 53 in February nearly a year after announcing his own battle with ALS.

“With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,” Dane’s family said in a statement at the time. “He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife [Rebecca Gayheart], and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world. Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”

Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen stunned fans after confirming they were ending their marriage following nearly two decades together. 

The pair, long known for their brutally honest relationship dynamic and hilarious public oversharing, appeared to survive years of ups and downs, therapy sessions, and parenting challenges. 

However, behind the scenes, insiders now claim several issues quietly pushed them apart, including mounting career pressure, personal changes, and Biggs’ dramatic weight-loss transformation, which reportedly gave the actor a major confidence boost.

Sources close to the former couple claim that Jason Biggs’ major physical transformation led to noticeable changes in both his confidence and overall mindset.

The “American Pie” star revealed earlier this year that he had lost 35 pounds after dealing with cholesterol concerns, leading him to overhaul his eating habits and fitness routine. According to insiders, the transformation did more than improve his health.

“Jason definitely has changed since his weight loss transformation. He lost a lot of weight and it definitely helped boost his ego,” one source told the Daily Mail.

The insider added that the actor may not have expected the dramatic results when he first started making healthier choices. 

“I don’t think he was wanting to lose that much weight but it happened and he’s proud of the results like any one who lost 40 pounds or more would be,” they noted.

The insider further suggested that the change slowly created distance inside the marriage as Biggs adjusted to a renewed sense of confidence and attention.

Biggs’ Career Comeback Reportedly Added More Pressure At Home

Insiders also claimed Jason Biggs’ recent career resurgence brought major stress into his personal life. 

The 48-year-old made his directorial debut last year with “Untitled Home Invasion Romance,” a project, sources say, that became emotionally exhausting for him.

“He had his first big directorial debut last year, and that was a really stressful time for him,” the insider explained.

They noted that trying to stay in the spotlight and continue putting out projects that were just as entertaining as what he was known for previously could be difficult.

According to the source, Biggs placed enormous pressure on himself to stay relevant in Hollywood after years of being closely tied to his breakout comedy success.

“But he has this reputation and he knows that and he puts pressure on himself to do things that are going to get just as much attention,” the insider revealed, adding, “Jason has had more stress in his life than Jenny lately and I think that’s definitely caused a bit of a wedge.”

Despite the challenges, sources stressed there was no explosive scandal behind the split.

Jason Biggs And Jenny Mollen Tried To Save Their Marriage Through Therapy

Biggs and Mollen were open for years about attending couples therapy, and insiders now say those sessions may have prolonged the marriage longer than expected.

According to one source, the pair’s marriage would have ended two to three years ago if they hadn’t attended couples therapy.

Biggs and Mollen first met while filming “My Best Friend’s Girl” in 2008 before quickly falling for one another. They became engaged that same year and secretly eloped just months later, before later celebrating with a larger ceremony in Napa attended by 40 guests.

Over the years, they welcomed two sons together, Sid and Lazio, while frequently sharing candid details about their relationship struggles. Back in 2016, Mollen openly praised therapy while discussing their marriage.

“We have been getting along at the end of the day because we have a therapist,” she told PEOPLE in 2016. The actress explained that having someone else convey her thoughts to Biggs made things better. 

Biggs strongly agreed at the time, noting that it wasn’t advisable to be married without having a therapist. He described getting one as a “preemptive strike.”

Biggs And Mollen Are Focused On Co-Parenting Their Sons

Even though the split shocked many fans, multiple insiders insist Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen are committed to staying close for the sake of their children.

One insider predicted the breakup would stay peaceful and drama-free. “I can not see them having a nasty divorce – and I don’t see them even rushing to get a divorce,” the source shared.

According to them, it was nearly impossible for the Hollywood stars’ long history to be forgotten overnight. The insider stressed that both stars remain completely focused on protecting their family dynamic.

“Their kids are truly their priority during this time. Jason and Jenny are still going to be very much apart of each other’s lives,” they explained. 

Another source echoed the same sentiment, noting, “They both mutually decided that they would be better as co-parents and friends than anything else,” the insider explained.

Jason Biggs And Jenny Mollen Previously Opened Up About Their Personal Struggles

Long before announcing their separation, Mollen had publicly admitted that she struggled with insecurities at times during their marriage.

In a 2019 op-ed titled “I Used to Be Jealous of My Husband’s Ex, Then I Became a Mom,” the author detailed her unhealthy obsession with one of Biggs’ former girlfriends.

“In my younger years (read: most of my 30s), I did drive-bys down her block, posted pics of myself in cute outfits I hoped she’d stumble across while googling me, and reeled her into interacting with me by finding things of hers around our house and gifting them back to her,” Mollen wrote.

Still, sources now insist the breakup was not caused by cheating or another outside relationship. “They really did just drift apart. There is no other party or anything like that. The relationship just ran its course,” an insider said.

Despite ending their marriage, those close to the pair believe Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen will remain deeply connected as friends, co-parents, and longtime partners who simply evolved in different directions.

John Stamos is honoring his late friend, actor and comedian Bob Saget, with a heartfelt birthday tribute, sharing emotional words and personal memories that celebrate their close friendship. The simple, yet impactful, message reflects the actor’s continued remembrance of Saget and highlights the lasting impact of their bond four years after his passing.

On May 17, John Stamos took to Instagram and shared a series of photos to honor his late friend, Bob Saget, on what would have been the comedian’s 70th birthday.

The carousel included a clip of Saget singing and several photos of the two of them together throughout the years. The last slide was a group shot of Saget and Stamos with their wives, Kelly Rizzo and Catilin McHugh, respectively, posing in front of the ocean, with the words “LAST PIC” written over it.

“We used to throw each other great birthday parties. Your 70th today would’ve been epic! I miss you and love you,” Stamos wrote in the caption. Hundreds of comments flooded the actor’s post, with many remembering Saget and wishing him a happy birthday in heaven.

The Two Actors Had A Rocky Start To Their Friendship

While Stamos and Saget had been exceptionally close for decades before Saget’s passing, they weren’t always the best of friends. The two met on the set of the ABC sitcom “Full House,” where they played the roles of brothers-in-law: Stamos as Jesse Katsopolis and Saget as Danny Tanner. The series ran for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995.

In Stamos’ memoir, “If You Would Have Told Me,” released in 2023, he wrote that he didn’t think Saget was right for his role, despite knowing he was talented. In his mind, Saget was a comedian whose main goal was to make people laugh, while he preferred working seriously and breaking apart scenes. “Bob and I tolerate each other and attempt to avoid interfering with each other’s creative processes, though it can be challenging,” Stamos wrote.

The two grew close, however, when they learned to accept each other’s artistic styles and supported one another amid personal tragedies.

John Stamos And Bob Saget Developed A Friendship Beyond The Camera

After “Full House” ended, Stamos and Saget remained close friends, celebrating each other’s victories and supporting one another through tough times. When the former’s father passed away in 2001, Saget stepped up and comforted his friend’s family, even taking on the duty of hosting the funeral. Stamos noted that they were already close at that time, but what the comedian did for him “cemented” their friendship.

In 2009, Stamos received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Saget attended the ceremony, offering some kind words for his friend. “You are so talented and so loving… I will always be there for you and for your family because you are my brother,” Saget said.

Moreover, they stood by each other through their respective divorces, health scares, and other hardships.

Inside Bob Saget’s Death In 2022

Saget died in January 2022 at 65 years old while on his comedy tour. He was discovered deceased in his hotel room with abrasions and hemorrhaging on his scalp. The medical examiner listed his official cause of death as blunt head trauma.

His family released a statement explaining his passing and said, “They have concluded that he accidentally hit the back of his head on something, thought nothing of it and went to sleep. No drugs or alcohol were involved.”

In 2023, Stamos recalled the moment he had confirmation that his friend had died. He was on a phone call with Saget’s wife, who was screaming. “I hit the ground in the parking lot and my knees slam down on the asphalt,” Stamos said.

John Stamos Consistently Honors Bob Saget On His Death Anniversary

Stamos posted moving tributes every year on Saget’s death anniversary. In 2023, he wrote about finding joy amid the grief. A year later, he got together with his fellow “Full House” castmates to remember Saget. In the caption, the actor said a part of him doesn’t want to get used to Saget’s absence, but he knows his friend would want him to move on and live his life.

In January 2026, Stamos shared a series of his favorite photos with Saget, writing, “Missing Bob feels like standing in a quiet room after the laughter stops. Your ears still ring with what was there, but the sound is gone.”

Paris Jackson is reassuring fans after concern spread online over the appearance of her neck in a recent video. The singer addressed her fans’ worries by seeking professional help and getting her throat checked, which, fortunately, had favorable results.

Jackson, who followed in her father Michael Jackson’s footsteps and pursued a singing career, is promoting her music while also preparing for the release of her sophomore album, although an official release date has yet to be announced.

Paris Jackson was alarmed when a user commented on one of her Instagram posts, asking, “What’s wrong with Paris’s neck?” The comment received hundreds of likes, prompting the 28-year-old singer to have her neck checked.

In an Instagram Stories post on May 16, Paris wrote, “getting an ultrasound to check out my lymphs since y’all pointed out how weird my neck looked on my last post.” She admitted that she was “freaking out” over the comment and requested someone to come to her rehearsal studio to do an ultrasound.

Paris shared that she recently had blood work done, and the results came back normal. “My neck just does weird sh-t when I talk,” she added. However, she wanted to make sure she was in tip-top shape before her performance at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival on May 23.

The Singer’s Vocal Cords Appear Healthy

On May 17, Paris posted another update, sharing that she was told her vocal cords had the “slightest amount of redness,” but it wasn’t cause for alarm. There were no calluses found, which was a good sign. Calluses on vocal cords, sometimes referred to as “singer’s nodes,” may develop when the voice is overused or misused.

“The reason my neck looks as weird as it does, is just because I exercised those muscles from singing for so long, and that just happens with singers,” Paris explained, adding that it was a bit more pronounced in her case since she’s skinny.

The singer also poked fun at herself, reposting an altered photo with abs superimposed on her throat.

Paris Jackson’s Singing Career

Paris began her professional singing career in 2018 as part of the duo, The Soundflowers, along with her then-partner, Gabriel Glenn. They released a self-titled EP in 2020. The duo disbanded after they ended their relationship, and Paris launched a solo career, signing with Republic Records.

In 2020, she released her debut single, “Let Down,” followed by her 11-track debut album, “Wilted.” Two years later, she released “The Lost EP” and collaborated with other artists, including The Struts, Steinza, Old Sea Brigade, and Gavin Leatherwood.

In March 2026, Paris released a new single, “Zombies in Love,” which will be followed by the release of her music project “Teenage Drama,” in collaboration with 4 Non Blondes’ Linda Perry, on May 22. Reports indicate the singer is gearing up for the release of her sophomore album, but no date has been announced as yet.

The Singer’s Thoughts About The ‘Michael’ Biopic

The “Michael” biopic, released in April, has been a massive commercial success, but Paris has distanced herself from the project. In 2025, the singer countered Colman Domingo, who portrayed her grandfather Joe in the movie. According to Domingo, Paris and her brother Prince were supportive of the movie.

Paris shared her thoughts about the film on Instagram Stories, saying she provided notes about the scripts and pointed out parts she deemed “dishonest” or scenes she wasn’t comfortable with. However, she claimed her concerns were not addressed, and she “moved on” with her life. “Not my monkeys, not my circus,” Paris said.

Later, she said the narrative was “being controlled” and the movie had many inaccuracies and “full-blown lies” that she wanted nothing to do with.

The Singer’s Win Against Her Father’s Estate

Paris had been embroiled in a legal battle with the executors of Michael’s estate. The singer claimed that the executors mismanaged his late father’s assets and gave themselves excessive compensation and unauthorized bonuses.

As The Blast previously reported, the judge sided with Paris and ordered the executors to return $625,000 in bonus payments back to Michael’s estate. The court also barred them from issuing bonus payments to attorneys without the consent of all of Michael’s beneficiaries, including his three children.

Emmy Pops Out Showing Off Daddy’s Spoiled Princess Energy

And y’all already know Emmy doesn’t miss a chance to pop out and show a lil’ luxury — especially when her daddy’s involved. Last week, G Herbo hit Instagram Stories showing baby girl fully in her bag while opening a few new gifts, and sis looked more than ready for the spotlight. Rocking a hot pink shirt, a gold necklace, and the biggest smile, Emmy happily followed Herbo’s directions as he told her to turn around and show off her fresh earrings to the camera like she already knew she was that girl.

The mini fashion moment kept going when Herbo asked Emmy to flash her nails while both parents hyped her up, calling her “pretty” as she soaked up every second of the attention. Emmy then turned to Taina Williams, held her hands near her ears, and playfully teased, “nana nana look what I got,” which immediately sent Taina into laughter. Meanwhile, Herbo hilariously captioned the moment, “LOL D*MN THEY HAVING MOMMY DAUGHTER GIFT WARS/BEEF,” proving once again that Emmy stays spoiled and clearly knows exactly how to work the room.

Kane Brown fell hard for Katelyn Jae Brown the moment they met.

“We met down in Florida at my very first show ever, I believe it was in 2015,” the “Heaven” crooner recalled during an August 2020 interview with Radio.com. “The day before that show, I was supposed to be in her music video because she was an artist as well, and it couldn’t happen cause my show was the same day as the music video.”

He continued: “A year goes by and the same guy we were working with brings her to a show, she didn’t want to come and he forced her, basically. We met, we didn’t talk at all — I maybe said hey to her — but I thought she was adorable and I kept looking at her all night. So I asked her to come to Nashville, like, the next day, I flew her down and we just hit it off and she never left!”

Us Weekly confirmed in October 2018 that they got married in Nashville. Kane and Katelyn have since welcomed daughters Kingsley and Kodi and son Krewe.

The Cannes Film Festival has become a glamorous stage for more than just movie premieres — it’s also where several stars have chosen to unveil their growing baby bumps to the world.

From Blake Lively‘s curve-hugging Versace gown to Barbara Palvin‘s joyful announcement alongside husband Dylan Sprouse and Annabelle Wallis‘ reveal alongside boyfriend Sebastian Stan, the French Riviera has played host to some unforgettable pregnancy reveals on the red carpet.

See the celebrities who debuted their pregnancies at the Cannes Film Festival through the years:

Annabelle Wallis

Following April 2026 news that she was expecting her first child with Thunderbolts’ Stan, Wallis debuted her growing bump while attending Cannes Film Festival’s 2026 Kering Women in Motion Awards event one month later.

Stepping out with Stan at the event’s red carpet, the Peaky Blinders star rocked a floor-length one-shoulder black gown that cut out at the side to reveal her torso and much of her toned back. As cameras flashed, Wallis beamed while holding a protective hand on her belly, posing for photos both on her own and alongside Stan.

Barbara Palvin

Palvin and Sprouse announced in May 2026 that they were expecting their first baby at the 79th annual Cannes Film Festival.

The supermodel showed off her growing baby bump in a light blue gown, while Sprouse opted for a classic black suit.

Claire Holt 

Holt revealed her pregnancy with baby No. 3 while attending the festival in May 2023, debuting her baby bump on the Killers of the Flower Moon red carpet in a gray halter-neck Lanvin gown with a lengthy train.

“Me & no 3 ✨,” Holt wrote via Instagram at the time.

Holt and husband Andrew Joblon, who wed in 2018, are also parents to son James (born March 2019) and daughter Elle (born September 2020). They welcomed son Ford in November 2023.

The Originals alum previously suffered a miscarriage before welcoming eldest son James.

“It was just really amazing to have a partner who was relentlessly there for me and so supportive and fights his own pain to help me out through it all,” Holt exclusively told Us Weekly in a February 2019 about Joblon’s support. “It was really beautiful as well. Obviously what we went through was tragic, but it brought us so much closer together. And I think it’s difficult to say this, because I would have loved to have had the baby and the pregnancy work out, but I wouldn’t change it because I learned so much and it really strengthened our relationship

Michelle Williams

Williams showed off her growing belly while attending the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. The actress stepped out to attend the premiere of her movie Showing Up, wowing in a Chanel Haute Couture black-and-white maxi dress with lace detailing on the red carpet.

Williams shares three children with husband Thomas Kail, and she is also mother of daughter Matilda, whom she welcomed with Heath Ledger in October 2005. (Ledger died in January 2008 at age 28.)

Blake Lively

Lively showcased her growing baby bump in a curve-hugging dress at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, revealing she was expecting baby No. 2 with husband Ryan Reynolds.

Lively looked gorgeous in a sparkly Atelier Versace gown featuring a thigh-high slit and a long train, paired with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry at the premiere of The BFG.

Days earlier, Lively had a Cinderella moment in a powder-blue Vivienne Westwood Couture dress at the Slack Bay premiere.

It’s been a long and winding road to get to the Good Omens finale, and nothing has been straightforward. What was once one of the most popular shows on streaming, with its opening season earning near-perfect reviews from most critics, Good Omens nearly ceased to exist entirely following allegations of sexual misconduct against writer and showrunner Neil Gaiman. In fact, those closest to the series also feared for its future, with star Michael Sheen being quoted as saying, “I really don’t know what’s going to happen with it.“

It was finally confirmed that, although we wouldn’t be receiving the six-episode Season 3 we’d once been promised, the third season would instead be transformed into one long final episode, which would find a neat conclusion for Michael Sheen‘s do-good angel, Aziraphale, and David Tennant‘s demon, Crowley. Excitement could then begin to build for the Good Omens finale, especially following Sheen’s confirmation that a screening of the finale had taken place in December last year, saying, “I laughed, and I cried.” Sheen added that fans could expect a finale that was “brilliantly directed, beautiful performances, fantastic new looks, incredible work all round.”

So, did the final episode live up to the hype? Well, with controversy overshadowing the show and six episodes of content condensed into 90 minutes, the odds were against the Good Omens team. Those stacked odds were evident in the final outing, with critics admitting it wasn’t up to standard when compared with the previous installments. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, this final episode only scored 61%, compared to the 85% and 88% scored by Seasons 1 and 2, respectively. However, this seems positively glowing when compared to audience response on the same review site, which currently sits at just 35% for Season 3.

‘Good Omens’ Is Battling for Streaming Supremacy

Whether or not the final episode was well-received was never likely to impact its popularity on the streaming charts. At the time of writing, the Good Omens finale debuted in fourth place on the Prime Video U.S. streaming charts. Good Omens was unable to outperform the recent return of Citadel, a fellow new arrival in the steamy romantic series Off Campus, and the all-conquering superhero series The Boys.

You can watch the entirety of Good Omens on Prime Video now. For more of the latest TV stories, make sure to stay tuned to Collider.
