The 2000s brought tons of great comedy TV shows to the world. The end of Friends and Seinfeld opened the door for game-changing titles like The Office, Parks and Recreation, Modern Family, and Community. As great as those sitcoms are, there’s one particular comedy series from the 2000s that not only pushed the limits of what television could be, but also defined an entire generation’s sense of humor. Over on MTV, Johnny Knoxville and his merry band of hilarious hooligans took to the streets and made us laugh until we cried — something they’re still doing 26 years later.

Jackass premiered with its infamous “Poo Cocktail” episode on October 1, 2000, and TV has never been the same since. Unfortunately for fans of the iconic prank series, only the feature films have been streaming of late. The series was removed from Paramount+ last year and there was no word as to when or if it would return. This past week, however, Jackass was suddenly added back to the Paramount+ lineup, with one major change that should delight longtime fans.

‘Jackass’ Is Back in Its Original Form

When Paramount+ announced that Jackass had returned to streaming, it also delivered the news that every episode of the original series had finally been restored to the original version that first aired on MTV. The show has been altered and edited several times over the past two-and-a-half decades, and the creative team found many of the episodes failed to represent what they had originally made and released. So they asked Paramount to pull the series from streaming last year and have all the episodes restored to their original versions.

“In the time since the release of Jackass 26 years ago, the television episodes had been re-edited, re-sequenced, and re-scored to the point they were unrecognizable,” creator and star Johnny Knoxville said in a statement. “I found this out the hard way last year when attempting to watch them. Eeek! But kudos to Paramount for giving us the $$ to restore the shows to how they initially aired in the first place. We can’t wait until you see all the terrible things we did to each other way back then and in the manner we intended!”

Now, every episode of the original Jackass series is available to stream on Paramount+, unchanged from what originally aired back in 2000 and 2001. The rollout of the original episodes began exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States, but is set to continue in other markets over the next few weeks.

Just in Time for a New ‘Jackass’ Movie

Timing is everything in entertainment, and the return of the original Jackass episodes couldn’t come at a better time for the franchise. The series came back to streaming just about a month before the final Jackass film is set to be released in theaters.

While many thought that the 2022 hit Jackass Forever would be the last movie in the series, the crew surprised fans with the news of a fifth installment — Jackass: Best and Last. The movie is hitting theaters on June 26th and will combine a slew of new stunts with footage from some of the franchise’s most iconic pranks. Jackass: Best and Last appears to be more of a reflection and celebration of the entirety of Jackass, rather than just another feature-length prank adventure.

All of the Jackass cast members that appeared in Jackass Forever will be back for Best and Last, including the new franchise rookies. Bam Margera and the late Ryan Dunn will also appear in the film via archive footage of pranks taken from the TV series and previous movie entries.

With a new Jackass on the way in just one month’s time, fans now have a perfect opportunity to watch through the entire franchise from start to finish — the way it was always meant to be seen.

Bold and the Beautiful reveals Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) bringing his son Wyatt Spencer back to town as part of Bill’s big expansion plan for Logan. Now that Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) officially inked her contract and it looks like Wyatt is joining them, it’s starting to look like a strategic plan to destroy their competition.

We are going to talk about what sort of scheme Bill may be cooking up to crush Forrester Creations and make sure Logan comes out on top. Now, let’s talk about what Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and her hunky hubby might be planning to make sure Logan wins this fashion rivalry.

Hope Signed with Logan This Week

So, this week already, Hope made a decision to leave Forrester Creations and join Logan. She seemed conflicted last week and of course, Donna Logan tried her best to stop her. But this week, Hope grabbed up the pen and signed on the dotted line. And the Spencers and Katie made sure to emphasize that her brother Deke Sharp is definitely part of the deal. And Katie swore everybody in the room to secrecy, including Donna.

So, this is going to be a sort of epic blindside if they can keep it quiet. They didn’t manage to keep the Eric stuff completely quiet, though. But it’s definitely going to get messy because Hope still is going to have to quit Forrester Creations. Either that or invent some way to be out of the office most of the day. She doesn’t have the bandwidth to work there and also over at Logan. So, we’ll have to wait and see how she explains it. If Hope resigns from Forrester Creations and maybe tells her mom, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), she’s just going to take some time off to think things over because it’s been stressful.

Bold and the Beautiful: Keeping Hope a Secret

We know already from Katie and Bill’s plotting that they don’t want anybody at Forrester Creations to know that Hope joined them. They want to blindside with the release of her new line under the Logan umbrella. And this week, Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say things are looking up for Deke. That means Hope is going to go over and give her little brother the absolutely amazing news. Hope is going to tell Deke that she is now part of the Logan team, and he is too.

All he has to do is say yes. And we’ll see if Hope and Deke can pull off this line alone or if they’re going to need to bring in a lead designer because I’m still wondering if Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) is going to join them because he’s tired of things at Forrester Creations as well. I’m certain if Hope talks to Zende and tells him she’s resigning, he may want to know what she’s doing. And Hope might roll the dice and ask Zende if he can keep a secret and if he wants to come to Logan. He is really frustrated being stuck babysitting R.J. Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) who’s been given his own little nepo baby line.

Bill Is Bringing Wyatt Back for a Logan Jewelry Line

But whether Zende joins or not, Bill is full speed ahead with Logan. And clearly he wants to topple Forrester Creations and make his wife Katie the first lady of fashion in LA. And I do think Bill has a strategic plan to take down Forrester Creations. I don’t think that Katie started Logan with the intent to poach from Forrester Creations, but after Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke forcibly retired Eric Forrester (John McCook), which is, you know, aka firing him, he’s the one who came to Katie. And that might have started Bill and Katie thinking that poaching dissatisfied people from Forrester Creations is a viable strategy.

It’s certainly a predatory strategy. So hiring former Forrester designer Deke is part of it and poaching Zende may be something else that Bill would love to do. You know, we can already tell that Katie and Bill are planning to rush out Hope’s line because they know they can’t sit on the secret for long. Even if Donna doesn’t blab, secrets leak out. Good news is that Deke already has a portfolio of designs that they can use as a starting point over at Logan.

Bold and the Beautiful: Bill Brings Wyatt Back

And then this week, Bill is bringing Wyatt back to town. I suspect Bill wants Wyatt to start a Logan jewelry line and to be the lead designer for it because remember, he learned design from his mom, Quinn Fuller. And at one point, Wyatt and Quinn were running her line out of Forrester Creations. They bought it. So, that would be perfect because it’s like poaching from the past.

But since Wyatt is a known design success in the jewelry field, it makes a lot of sense. And let’s face it, Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) is not as skilled or experienced as Wyatt. That’s just a fact. Plus, she spends a lot of her time pouting and whining about her love life. That’s distraction. So, Bill might one-up Forrester Creations by bringing in Wyatt. He could design pieces to go with Hope’s new line at Logan. And I fully expect for Bill to get Wyatt to hit the ground running and hustle out designs.

That way they can debut New Hope or whatever they’re going to call it along with a Logan jewelry line at the same time. They could put Hope and Wyatt on the runway together as a double whammy to slap at Forrester Creations. And if Zende’s with them, it’d be a triple slap.

Bill May Want to Match Forrester Creations Head-To-Head

Now, if Bill really wants to be on equal footing with Forrester Creations, they also need a fragrance line. So, we might see Logan trying to land a nose of their own to compete with Daphne Rose over at Forrester Creations. And I mean, for this, I would be so thrilled if we got a crossover from Young and the Restless. They could bring in Ashley Abbott. She was the primary fragrance designer and chemist for Jabot over on Y&R. If you don’t watch it, and if you don’t remember, Eileen Davidson did almost 140 episodes on Bold and the Beautiful, playing her Y&R character, and Ashley designed fragrances for Forrester Creations.

So, if Bill landed Ashley, that would be huge. Now, I will say Bill and Ashley never overlapped because she left Bold in 2008 and Bill only came to Bold in 2009 after the death of his father, Bill Spencer, Senior. But I could see Ashley coming back because back in the day, Ridge broke his engagement to Ashley to go back to Brooke, of course, and also Forrester Creations canceled her fragrance line. So, Ashley would be perfect for Bill to bring in. And Eileen Davidson is rarely on Y&R these days. She chose to step back from it. But taking another spin as Ashley on B&B might be something Eileen Davidson might consider. She’s not doing Real Housewives right now, I don’t think. So, she has some time.

And that would give Logan a youthful line from Hope, a jewelry line from Wyatt, and they might wind up with a fragrance line from Ashley. Then they just need a couture designer to follow up on Eric’s first collection since he’s already gone. I would love to see them bring back Clarke Garrison or Amber Moore for this.

Bold and the Beautiful:

If Bill really wants to match Forrester Creations head-to-head, they’ll also need a lingerie/undergarment line. I mean, I think it’d be super tacky to call it Katie’s Bedroom to mock Brooke’s lingerie line, but calling it Logan Lingerie would definitely work. I noticed that Brooke is still griping this week about Katie stealing her name, the name they share. But just last week, she was calling herself Brooke Forrester. Not even Brooke Logan Forrester. Brooke Forrester. So I guess what? She gets all the names. You know, legally Katie had every right to use it, but I know a lot of fans remain torn over whether her registering the trademark was right or wrong.

Bottom line, I think Bill wants Logan to compete with Forrester Creations head-to-head, and he wants to see Katie come out on top. Last week, Bill called Forrester Creations a dusty old fashion house, and it has been, and said Katie’s company is the newer and better fashion house. Mostly though, I think Bill just really wants to stick it to Ridge. I will say I’m super excited to see what Bill is plotting to kind of wipe some of that smug attitude off Ridge’s face. And also, it’s really energizing as a longtime watcher to see two fashion houses competing on Bold and the Beautiful. They haven’t had that in many years, and I think it’s great.

Have you ever had to sit through those agonizingly boring training videos that Troy McClure was always celebrating on The Simpsons? Titles like Dig Your Own Grave and Save and Lead Paint: Delicious But Deadly come to mind when I think of the brilliant 2020 satire, Survival Skills. As somebody who loves found footage, analog horror, and the kind of creepy lost media amateur filmmakers upload to YouTube (looking at you, Indistinct Chatter!), Survival Skills feels like something else entirely. It’s a disturbing tale about a naive, idealistic police officer fresh out of the academy who just so happens to be the subject of a 1980s training film meant to teach viewers the dos and don’ts of the job.

The film thrives in this environment and quickly goes off the rails in the best possible way when our wide-eyed trainee decides he doesn’t want to stick to the script, irritating the narrator to no end as he scrambles to force a course correction that’s clearly out of his scope as a member of the academy’s training staff.

Jim Is So Naive It’s Precious

Survival Skills kicks off as your typical run-of-the-mill training video produced by Survival Solutions, Inc. We’re introduced to the narrator, portrayed by Stacy Keach, who gives us the rundown on how to be a good little police officer. He talks about the dangers of the job, proper protocol and etiquette, and how to diffuse the kinds of situations cops find themselves in when they start pounding the pavement with the intent of cleaning up the streets and keeping citizens safe.

Then we meet Jim (Vayu O’Donnell), who looks like he walked straight out of Leave It to Beaver. He’s so sickeningly optimistic that you almost don’t like him. He lives with his perfect girlfriend, Jenny, who packs his lunch with fresh jam every morning, and he carries a toy police cruiser with him everywhere because he’s just that innocent. When the narrator spins the wheel of potential house calls viewers need to prepare for, the training video throws Jim into a domestic disturbance on his first day, something he’s clearly not mentally equipped to handle.

During the call, Jim is disturbed by his older, more cynical partner Allison’s (Ericka Kreutz) lack of concern, but according to police protocol, she’s technically doing her job correctly. And she’s not wrong. They make the house call, everybody involved insists it was a misunderstanding, and Allison and Jim leave knowing they can’t legally do anything about Mark Jenning (Bradford Farwell), the abusive husband, or the way he treats his wife Leah (Emily Chisholm) and daughter Lauren (Madeline Anderson).

Here’s where the film gets interesting. Jim is rattled by the exchange and feels completely helpless. He wants to do right by his community and, more specifically, Leah and Lauren. The narrator watches the training tape in disgust as Jim keeps going off script, forcing him to rewind the tape and awkwardly reintroduce entire segments. Jim, the little Boy Scout that he is, keeps interfering with the escalating domestic situation, inadvertently destroying the family dynamic, his reputation, and his personal life in the process. His intentions are sincere, but he keeps breaking protocol, and his good intentions consistently make things worse for everybody involved.

Don’t Do What Donny Don’t Does

These days, it’s easy to say “All Cops Are Bastards” and assume anybody in uniform is a power-hungry monster waiting to ruin your life. Jim, on the other hand, is the real deal. All of his training tells him to use lethal force before properly sizing up a situation, and you can see him resisting that indoctrination with every fiber of his being. He genuinely wants to serve and protect, and whenever he tries to do exactly that, he’s advised against it. More often than not, he ignores that advice, usually with disastrous consequences.

You can see the toll these interactions take on Jim’s psyche as the second and third acts unfold. Slowly but surely, the light leaves his eyes. He becomes a cynical shell of his former self while the narrator completely loses his mind trying to fix a training tape that seems to have developed a life of its own.

Through Survival Solutions, Inc.’s training tape, we learn what’s truly at stake here, both in the film and in real life. Young men and women join the force hoping to make their communities safer. You have characters like Allison, who’s cynical but has accepted her role as somebody who simply goes through the motions because she knows criminals and abusers will always exercise their own free will, and there’s simply too much bureaucratic red tape involved to actually make a difference. Jim is constantly at odds with her because he sees the entire system as fundamentally broken and he wants to change it. In fact, the system is so broken that it ultimately breaks him in the worst possible way, while a horrified narrator takes swigs of brown liquor and slowly realizes he’s part of the problem.

Survival Skills is unlike any movie you’ve seen before. Through its satire, it exposes what’s wrong with training videos in general, not just police training videos, by trying to provide neat, by-the-books answers to deeply complicated problems. Real life doesn’t operate in black-and-white terms, and most of the interactions we experience every day exist in gray areas that people rarely want to talk about. Though it’s obviously a work of fiction, the film points to how life can’t be summed up with a quick summary or a simple “how-to” guide. Real life is much more complicated than the idealized versions we build in our heads, and more often than not, it’s a hell of a lot messier than we’d ever care to admit.

As of this writing, you can stream Survival Skills for free on Tubi.

AMC’s The Walking Dead would never have reached its massive popularity without its outstanding cast, who brilliantly brought the post-apocalyptic drama to life. Based on the comic book series of the same name, the hit series ran for 11 seasons from October 31, 2010, to November 20, 2022, with Andrew Lincoln leading the show as the heroic Rick Grimes for its first nine seasons. While Rick remains one of the franchise’s most iconic characters, several others have become just as beloved by fans over the years. One standout is Aaron, the compassionate Alexandria recruiter portrayed by Ross Marquand, who first appears in Season 5.

Although Marquand is best known for his role on The Walking Dead, he has worked on many other projects, not just as an actor but also as an impressionist. Most recently, he starred in the 2025 critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller written and directed by Peter Cilella, in which his character struggles with personal trauma. Titled Descendent, the film has found a new streaming home less than a year after its release, making it more accessible to sci-fi fans who are sure to be hooked from start to finish.

Descendent premiered at South by Southwest on March 10, 2025, and was later released on digital platforms on August 15, 2025. The alien abduction movie arrived on Hulu today, May 26, 2026, joining a ton of similarly compelling titles that have made their way to the streamer this month. Also starring in Descendent are Sarah Bolger, Susan Wilder, Charlene Amoia, Dan O’Brien, Brandon Scott, Alexandra Barreto, and Parvesh Cheena.

What Happens in the 88% RT Hit ‘Descendent’?

Based on 25 reviews, Descendent boasts an 88% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, a huge difference from its 44% audience score. In the film, Marquand portrays Sean Bruner, a school security guard in Los Angeles who deals with a lot of stress and personal trauma as he and his wife, Andrea (Bolger), prepare for the birth of their first child. However, when he climbs onto the roof one night to fix a light bulb, he sees something in the night sky and falls off the roof. As he recovers, Sean finds himself grappling with visions of a spacecraft and an unexplained artistic ability, prompting the question of what really happened to him. And with a baby on the way, he races to face his demons before his growing obsession consumes him.

Descendent now streams on Hulu.

Jazmine Sullivan stuns after showing off her apparent weight loss.

Jazmine Sullivan Shows Off Her Apparent Weight Loss

On Tuesday, May 26, The Shade Room obtained footage of Jazmine Sullivan appearing as a special guest at Ari Lennox’s recent tour stop in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sullivan popped out and performed ‘On It’ alongside Lennox. However, the singer turned heads — showing out in a black, latex jumpsuit.

Peep the footage from her time onstage and behind the scenes below.

Social Media Users React

Social media users slid into TSR’s comment section with reactions to Jazmine Sullivan’s apparent weight loss.

Here’s What Was Happening With Jazmine Sullivan Before Her Apparent Weight Loss

As The Shade Room previously reported, in December 2023, Jazmine Sullivan revealed that her grandmother had passed away. This, reportedly, five months after her mother.

“Rest now grandmom. I know mommy is so happy to see you! These women are the very reason I sing and write. The reason I’m funny and sassy. The reason I say what I mean according to my conviction… God decided 2023 I could handle losing them both. Iono why.. but his plans are above me,” she had wrote in part via an Instagram Story at the time.

To note, earlier that year, Sullivan’s mom, Pamela, passed away after a battle with breast cancer.

In April of 2025, Sullivan then revealed that she had experienced a miscarriage.

As a mom of three young kids, the morning chaos of getting dressed, getting out the door and trying to look reasonably put-together demands simplicity — which is why a one‑and‑done jumpsuit has become my go-to uniform. Thankfully, Amazon has a figure-flattering jumpsuit reviewers say is one of “those outfits you can throw on and instantly look like you tried.”

Light, breezy, cozy and flattering around the midsection, the LOOKBOHO Short-Sleeve V-Neck Jumpsuit is cut with a smocked, high-waisted fit that defines your shape while camouflaging the lower belly. Unlike other jumpsuits that weigh you down in the thick of heat and humidity, reviewers say this breezy puff-sleeve pick is a stylish exception, with durable fabric that looks far pricier than $40. It holds its own through countless washes and still feels feather‑light in the relentless heat.

I despise tight waistbands and heavy fabrics in the thick of summer, and I’m not alone. Heavy pieces that grip and squeeze can feel like a weighted blanket when temperatures climb, but if there’s one outfit that can take the heat and humidity, it’s a breezy summer jumpsuit. Thankfully, Amazon has a top‑selling one that […]

A true capsule piece, this slimming wide-leg jumpsuit comes in a wide range of colors and prints, with standout hues like Army green, turquoise and even a gorgeous pink-and-orange floral. Minimalists and maximalists alike will find a perfect match, since options range from quiet basics to vibrant, mood‑boosting prints. Plus, no matter where you go, the versatile suit can be customized to fit the occasion, with reviewers saying they’ve worn it everywhere from weddings to work.

The shape-enhancing jumpsuit is also one of those rare pieces you don’t have to rush off to the tailor, either. The relaxed, wide‑leg cut gives you a spot‑on length and fit, and it even has roomy pockets and a flirty-but-modest V-neck cut. But don’t just take my word for it! Reviewers rave about the fit, feel and fashion that far exceed its affordable price point.

“My main concern was that it would not be flattering around the middle,” one 71-year-old reviewer said. “Although it has an elastic waist, it hides my tummy and does not make my hips or butt look out of proportion, even though the fabric is full. It does not show lumps [or] bumps or lines.”

“Very nice, lightweight material, perfect for summer,” another verified customer said. “Was surprised this piece was flattering because typically pantsuits don’t look good on my body shape. The hem falls high enough so that I don’t need to wear heels.”

For a piece that flatters every shape, feels weightless in the heat and transitions from errands to events without issue, this wide‑leg jumpsuit is a winner. Shop it now to enjoy the kind of breezy, beautiful style that’ll carry you through the whole summer season.

A middle school art teacher in Texas has been arrested after she was accused of “child grooming” and allegedly admitted to having a crush on a teen boy.

Haley Krista Radabaugh was arrested on May 15 after multiple students at Barbara Bush Middle School came forward with allegations that involved the teacher and a student, the Irving Police Department confirmed to Us Weekly.

Students told a school resource officer that Radabaugh, 28, “was known to be having inappropriate sexual conversations with at least three middle school students and providing drugs to students,” according to the arrest warrant viewed by NBC 5.

Radabaugh allegedly started sending sexually suggestive messages to a student on Instagram, which included messages like, “There was a kid I crushed on hard before you,” and “I’ll tell you what. You send me a photo of you, and I’ll send you one of me.”

In a resurfaced clip shared via TikTok on Monday, April 6, Noah, 24, and Haley, 27, can be seen participating in the so-called suspect running trend. (The viral trend mimics a […]

Investigators went on to say that Radabaugh sent “a photo of what appears to be herself getting out of the shower.” The photograph was allegedly taken “mid-chest up” and seemingly showed her entire face. While the photo did not show any nudity, investigators confirmed that Radabaugh was nude at the time it was taken.

Radabaugh also allegedly used “flirtatious kiss emojis” in the messages and “called the victim ‘babe,’” according to charging documents.

The arrest warrant went on to state that “the victim described himself as being disgusted and losing sleep after the defendant messaged him.”

Following her arrest, Radabaugh has been charged with child grooming. It is not currently clear if she has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following her arrest.

Radabaugh has since been released from custody after she posted a $250,000 bond.

Carrollton Farmers Branch ISD confirmed that police are investigating the allegations made against the “former” employee.

“While we are limited on what we can disclose, we are deeply distressed and disheartened by these incidents,” a district spokesperson added in a statement, per NBC 5.

The Irving Police Department had no additional information to share about the case when contacted by Us.

Katia Gonzalez, who works with Alliance for Children in Fort Worth, told the outlet that child abuse most often happens “with somebody that you would never imagine would hurt a child.”

A high school teacher in Texas has been arrested after he allegedly had sex with a student in his classroom, and he was caught after another student saw them together. Chad Allen Rodriguez was arrested on Saturday, May 16, and was charged with a second-degree felony for having sex with a 17-year-old girl. Rodriguez, 38, […]

Gonzalez, who is not directly involved in the case, also said social media “friendships” between minors and teachers are always considered inappropriate no matter what topics they’re discussing.

She added that child groomers often use “electronic grooming dynamics” to start isolating their victims.

“We see a lot of our cases that actually led to sexual abuse started out with electronic communication to the point where a lot of youth serving organizations, such as schools or educational settings, have specific policies to prevent and prohibit contact with kids outside of those school activities,” Gonzalez said. “There are a lot of platforms that are developed specific for communication that’s appropriate, that’s safe, where everything is visible and there’s not that isolated communication.”

Ray J is not taking any chances with the after-effects of those punches from Supa Hot Fire!

The rapper reportedly booked himself into the nearest health facility after noticing unusual symptoms regarding his physical health shortly after the celebrity boxing match in Las Vegas last weekend.

Ray J has disclosed in recent times that his heart is not in excellent condition due to the effects of some bad lifestyle choices he has made in the past, including alcoholism and drugs.

The entertainer reportedly took the initiative to check himself into a health facility two hours after the match went down. According to sources, medics have since begun running tests on the rapper, with hopes to get to the root of his health concerns.

Medical experts are reportedly now examining whether Ray suffered a concussion during the fight, as he also mentioned that he began experiencing complications involving an unusually slow heartbeat.

As stated by TMZ, the songwriter’s latest health scare follows earlier reports as the year began that he was reportedly hospitalized with pneumonia and heart-related issues.

The Rapper Bowed Out Of The Match With A Clean Knockout In The Second Round

Ray’s outing in Las Vegas on May 23 did little to prove his strength or experience as a ring fighter. The rapper could not take the heat from Supa Hot Fire as he crumbled under the weight of his punch in the second round of the Adin Ross UFC Apex Event.

Supa Hot Fire sent a clean punch in Ray’s direction around the 2:35 mark, leading to a loss in balance after which he stumbled into the ropes and landed on the canvas with a thud. The Blast shared that the referee immediately proceeded to declare the result a victory in Supa Hot Fire’s favor.

However, a displeased Ray had a few things to say after the bell rang, including the fact that the game was rigged and a lot of money went down the drain with the outcome of the match.

Ray J’s Boxing Match May Have Defied His Doctors’ Orders

The entertainer had revealed during an interview in January that doctors expressed doubts about how much more time he had left, hence the need to place him on a few drugs to help manage his health.

As shared by The Blast, Ray recalled that his list of drugs included cholesterol medication Lipitor, Jardiance, and Entresto, drugs often prescribed for people at high risk of heart failure.

He also noted that he was informed that he might be placed on a pacemaker or defibrillator, depending on the outcome of his next appointment. However, Ray was advised to have maximum rest while following his prescriptions religiously.

He was also warned to steer clear of drinks and smoke, although he confessed to finding these rules hard to follow, but staying alive as long as he can for the sake of his kids has become a priority.

In another post, the streamer expressed regret about his lifestyle in the past, admitting that he should have slowed things down a little on the fun side. He added that when he dies, he would love to be cremated and not buried.

The Kick Streamer Was Arrested After A Dramatic Episode With His Baby Mama Last Year

As 2025 pulled to a close, Ray became embroiled in a domestic dispute involving his estranged wife, Princess Love. The actor was reportedly arrested after a tense dispute about their two kids on Thanksgiving Day.

As the exchange went on, Ray reportedly pulled out his gun on Princess Love, prompting her to call the cops, who came and ferried the rapper away from the scene. According to reports, the former couple disagreed over Princess Love opting to leave their child.

That was not all, Ray also picked an offense with his wife’s cousin husband staying inside his home, and his fans on Twitch were able to watch the chaos erupt in real time as the rapper was streaming at the time. 

One month after his arrest, Ray shared a video of himself allegedly stranded in Tampa without food or shelter, noting that he was hoping to hitch a ride to Los Angeles while filming what he hoped could become a hitchhiking show.

Ray J And Princess Love Find A Common Ground Amid His Health Status Revelation

The actor and his estranged wife eventually pushed aside their differences. They headed to the San Fernando courthouse in Los Angeles in January to relax the protective order that prevented him from contacting Love and their children.

The new arrangement made provision for the rapper to have maximum unlimited contact with his kids after third parties testified in court that the rapper indeed misses his kids.

Love also agreed and noted that they have all been losing sleep about his health issues, and the time factor attached to the reveal has made it imperative for them to spend as much time with him as possible. The singer’s baby mama took back her initial statement that Ray posed a danger to the well-being of their two children.

Love and Ray’s marriage headed for the rocks in 2024 when she filed for divorce for the fourth time. She pushed for sole custody a year later, acknowledging that Ray’s unwarranted behavior had become frustrating and exhausting.

Get well soon, Ray J!

“The Bachelor” alum Colton Underwood is going to bat for his son, Bishop. After sharing a photo of himself posing with his 20-month-old son, a social media troll left a shady comment about the minor that Underwood took issue with. In a series of posts thereafter, Underwood defended his parenting skills and shamed the troll for using “loaded comments to express disapproval” about his lifestyle.

Underwood recently uploaded a photo of himself with his son, Bishop, to his Instagram. According to Us Weekly, one netizen replied to the image, writing, “I feel bad for that kid.” While it’s unclear what the commenter meant, Underwood assumed the user’s comment was a dig at the reality star and his husband, Jordan C. Brown.

Underwood clapped back at the troll, pinning their comment in a separate post and writing, “Genuinely curious what you meant by this. Because if you ‘feel bad’ for Bishop, I’d love to understand why. He’s loved, supported, celebrated, happy and surrounded by people who show up for him every single day.”

That wasn’t all Underwood had to say. Continuing, the 34-year-old implied that he was more than capable of providing his son with what he needed to be successful. “What a child actually needs protection from isn’t a loving family,” he said.

Underwood, who came out as gay in April 2021, then blasted the social media user for using their words to put him and his family down.

“It’s ‘adults’ who use vague, loaded comments to express disapproval they don’t have the courage to say out loud. Words like yours, ambiguous enough to deny, pointed enough to wound, are exactly how kids learn that who they are is something to be ashamed of. That’s the thing worth feeling bad about,” he said.

Underwood opened up even more about the pain comments such as the ones above can cause him and his family. In the caption, Underwood explained that he actually wrote about these moments in his memoir, “Dear Bishop.”

“Some days they don’t affect me. Other days they ruin my day,” Underwood said. “Most days, they remind me why sharing my life this publicly is worth it…because somewhere there’s a kid, or a man, who might find comfort or something familiar in my story. That’s what keeps me living openly.”

Netizens quickly rushed to Underwood’s defense to drown out the negativity, with one cheering, “Keep sharing. The world needs to see it!” Another one of Underwood’s followers wrote, “That boy is sooooo lucky to have yall as his parents.”

Earlier this year, Underwood was the topic of conversation when his “Traitors” co-star, Michael Rapport, said, “Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you,” during one of the show’s heated round-table discussions. While Rappaport later said his comments were taken out of context, many viewers labeled them as homophobic.

According to The Blast, Underwood admitted to being a bit thrown off by Rapport’s comments, saying, “The reason I said yes to doing a show like ‘The Traitors’ is it’s not personal.”

He added, “The drama and the intensity of the show is always so game-focused, so I think that’s what just threw me a little bit, is when it got personal and he was using me as a human being instead of my gameplay against me. That’s what caught me off guard, and I think you felt that and saw it in the episode.”

Rock Singer Comes Out As Gay

Per The Blast, rock singer Caleb Shomo recently came out as a “proudly gay man” after 14 years of marriage to his wife, Fleur Shomo.

“This is something I’ve been unpacking and reckoning with in my life for quite some time now. It’s been difficult to navigate the feelings surrounding the subject and figure out what to do with this fact,” he wrote in his heartfelt post.

Fleur broke her silence on the news hours after Caleb went public, saying their years of marriage were “wonderful and full of so much fun, adventure, and love.”

“Nobody will know anything about our marriage like we do. And no one can ever truly know what depths of love exist between two people unless they are those people,” she said. “I already miss it & my husband more than anything. Our story was a good one. And now it’s done.”
