Kathy Hilton will no longer serve as the grand marshal of the West Hollywood Pride Parade due to a backlash from the LGBTQ+ community.

“I am honored to have been considered for this recognition and appreciative of the support I have received from members of the community throughout the years,” Hilton, 67, said in a statement on Wednesday, June 3. “My reason for wanting to be involved in this year’s WeHo Pride weekend was simple: to celebrate, support, and share in the joy of a community that means a great deal to so many people. Pride is, and always will be, about celebrating and uplifting LGBTQ+ voices, experiences, and achievements.”

Her statement went on, “I respect the thoughtful conversations that have taken place and remain deeply committed to supporting LGBTQ+ causes and visibility, including through my participation in GLAAD initiatives and events, and longstanding support of organizations such as the Elton John AIDS Foundation, the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation since its inception, Dr. Mathilde Krim, God’s Love We Deliver, and Project Angel Food.”

“My support for the community and WeHo Pride is unwavering. This monumentally important event has always had a special place in my heart, and I will always cherish the experience I had acting as Grand Marshal of the LA Pride parade with my daughter in 2005,” she continued. “Thank you to everyone who works so hard to make it happen, and I wish the community nothing but love, joy, and a fantastic WeHo Pride weekend.”

Keeping it in the family? Kyle Richards and Kathy Hilton‘s relationship has seen its fair share of ups and downs over the years — and filming season 12 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills wasn’t any different. The tension between the sisters came to a head during a cast trip to Aspen in a […]

The City of West Hollywood initially touted Hilton as “a vocal and visible supporter of the community” and credited her with using her “platform to champion LGBTQ+ rights.”

Many disagreed, with the AIDS Memorial’s official Instagram account sarcastically replying via Instagram, “Melania Trump not available?”

“I ask sincerely—what has this lady done for the LGBT+ community??” another commenter asked the City of West Hollywood.

A third Instagram user urged WeHo Pride organizers to cancel the booking, writing, “@wehopride it’s not too late to take this back.”

The City of West Hollywood subsequently clarified that Pride Parade grand marshals are chosen “in recognition of their visibility, allyship, and support for the LGBTQ+ community.”

“Kathy Hilton has publicly supported LGBTQ+ causes and visibility, including through her participation in GLAAD events and initiatives,” a statement from the City added. “At the same time, we acknowledge that concerns raised by West Hollywood residents, stakeholders, and LGBTQ+ community members are important and deserve to be heard. We are listening. We believe that WeHo Pride is strengthened by open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to equality and inclusion.”

On Wednesday, a new statement from WeHo Pride addressed Hilton standing down as the grand marshal.

“The City of West Hollywood and WeHo Pride Parade organizers thank Kathy Hilton for her grace and her continued support of the LGBTQ+ community,” their statement read. “Pride has always been strongest when it genuinely reflects the community. WeHo Pride is strengthened by open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to inclusion.”

They continued, “The City of West Hollywood remains dedicated to ensuring that WeHo Pride continues to be a joyful celebration rooted in visibility, belonging, and respect, and welcomes ongoing community conversations that help it to evolve while honoring its history and purpose. The WeHo Pride Parade is a celebration of community, and we are proud to welcome nearly 120 parade entries this year. We look forward to a parade and weekend that honors the spirit and extraordinary contributions of the LGBTQ+ community.”

Much of the criticism of Hilton’s involvement in WeHo Pride revolved around her past association with President Donald Trump. While Kathy never publicly stated whether or not she voted for Trump, 79, to be president, she and her husband, Rick Hilton, socialized with the Trumps in the past.

Kathy was also accused of using a homophobic slur towards a DJ while filming a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills trip to Aspen in 2022. During that year’s RHOBH reunion, Erika Jayne said that she personally heard Kathy use an offensive term during an alleged outburst.

Kathy Hilton kept her distance from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills until season 11, but that didn’t mean her rocky relationship with Kyle Richards wasn’t a topic of discussion on the Bravo series. When RHOBH premiered in 2010, Kyle was joined by sister Kim Richards — and by the end of the season, the […]

“I see Kathy coming from the dance floor, very upset,” Erika told host Andy Cohen. “I say, ‘Kathy, what’s wrong?’ She says, ‘The DJ’s an old f***ing f**,’ and walked off.”

Kathy denied ever using a homophobic slur, telling Cohen, 58, “I will admit to what I do, but I will not be painted to be this monster. Nobody else heard that, and anyone who knows me knows I don’t talk like that.”

Cohen later confirmed to Us Weekly that Bravo’s investigation into the scandal was inconclusive because “it was a case of she-said, she-said.”

OnlyFans star Lena the Plug and her estranged husband Adam22’s financial assets have been revealed as part of their shocking divorce.

The OnlyFans content creator (real name Lena Nersesian) filed for divorce from YouTuber Adam22 (real name Adam Grandmaison) on her 35th birthday on Monday, June 1. The former couple were married for three years and share a 5-year-old daughter.

In light of their divorce proceedings, Us Weekly obtained court documents filed by Lena that shed light on her and Adam22’s financial assets. The OnlyFans star listed her and Adam22’s $1.152 million in real estate as their largest asset and requested half of its evaluation at $576,000. (Lena currently resides in a Studio City home with her daughter.)

Lena asked a Los Angeles Superior Court to let her keep the entirety of her and Adam22’s household furniture and appliances, valued at $50,000. She sought $20,000 worth of jewelry, art and collectibles as well.

The content creator specified that she and Adam22 had $100,000 in their savings account — of which she sought an equitable share of $50,000, plus half of the $5,000 that she and Adam22 had on hand in cash.

Lena proposed equally splitting the $40,000 value of her and Adam 22’s two podcasts — ”No Jumper” and “Plug Talk” — while keeping $20,000 that her own social media is estimated to be worth.

In total, Lena asked to keep approximately $730,000 in assets as part of her divorce filings.

Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for both parties for comment.

On Wednesday, June 3, Lena officially sought legal and physical custody of her and Adam22’s daughter. In her divorce petition, Lena listed April 15 as the date of separation.

She reported to the court that she had no job and was dependent on $3,000 in monthly spousal support from Adam22.

“I have no access to any financial resources in this marriage or actual financial information, so all amounts entered are estimates,” she wrote.

Both Adam22 and Lena have seemingly addressed their split in recent days. Lena opened up about growth in her personal life via Instagram on the same day that she filed for divorce.

“A few years ago, I was terrified of turning 30. I thought getting older meant something was ending. Instead, it’s been the opposite,” she wrote in honor of her 35th birthday on June 1. “I’ve learned more about myself, built a life I’m proud of, and found a level of contentment I didn’t know was possible.”

She went on, “If my 30s have taught me anything, it’s that life keeps getting better. Here’s to the next five years. And thank you for being part of the journey.”

Adam22 seemed to make light of his estranged wife’s divorce filing, asking via his Instagram Story on Thursday, “All Black women who want to date me please DM me. I will buy you a car.”

He also posted the word “freedom” in an Instagram Story set to Jay-Z’s hit “Girls, Girls, Girls.”

Cinema lovers should always strive to celebrate diversity in film. It might’ve taken long – too long, in fact – but cinema is becoming more inclusive, celebrating stories about every identity in the wide and colorful sexual spectrum. Going back to the New Hollywood Age, stories about LGBTQ+ people have been around, often standing as groundbreaking and pioneering efforts, especially at a time when such films remained controversial and scarce.

Nowadays, representation is much healthier and standardized, with writers, directors, and producers making real and tangible efforts to increase LGBTQ+ presence in mainstream cinema. Fortunately, their efforts have paid off. From certified classics about the seemingly never-ending struggles facing the community to lighthearted comedies about the nuances of gay life, these efforts represent landmark achievements in representation and stand as the best LGBTQ+ films of all time.

‘Bottoms’ (2023)

Image via MGM

Taking an LGBTQ+ approach to the classic style of raunchy, over-the-top coming-of-age romcoms that defined the 2000s, Bottoms acts as both a love letter to this classic era of teen movies and a love letter to modern LGBTQ+ film fans. The movie follows unpopular queer best friends PJ and Josie, who, in an attempt to gain some popularity and recognition from the hot girls at their school, decide to start a fight club. While their plan initially works, with the fight club rising in popularity, it doesn’t take long before the vicious jocks become the target of these self-defense lessons, with them going out of their way to destroy the club.

Bottoms feels tailor-made for the more zany, younger audience of LGBTQ+ youth that has grown up with this style of raunchy comedy and wants to see a version that’s both made for them and goes even farther with its chaotic antics. It’s no secret that the film has become an immediate fan favorite among younger, social media-centric film fans, with its relatable characters and instantly quotable dialogue cementing its status as a cult classic for years to come. – Robert Lee

Gus Van Sant came to the Hollywood scene in the late ’80s as part of the new wave of indie filmmakers about to take over the business.1991’s My Own Private Idaho, a loose adaptation of Shakespeare’s Henry saga, stars the late River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves as two friends on an extensive journey of self-discovery, nostalgia, and coming-of-age.

My Own Private Idaho was a breakthrough at a time when queer cinema was beginning to claim a spot in mainstream cinema. Powered by Phoenix’s quiet, subtle, melancholic performance, My Own Private Idaho is a delicate, introspective, and sad reflection on identity and self-discovery that stands as a pioneering achievement of queer cinema.

‘The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love’ (1995)

A beautiful story of love and passion that was a massive rarity among movies during the 90s, The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love follows the blossoming love story between Randy and Evie. Both girls come from completely different worlds and economic classes, yet despite their differences, find themselves helplessly drawn to one another in a beautiful display of passion and romance. Despite the divides and pushback they receive from their community and even their own families, they stick to their guns in the name of this true, unexpected love that they’ve fostered.

While sapphic romances weren’t completely removed from making appearances during the ’90s in film, the culture of the era simply hadn’t grown to be as accepting as it is nowadays. This makes it all the more special that a film like The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love exists, being able to use the strengths of the romantic comedy genre in the ’90s to create an emotional and powerful lesbian love story. While many other films would have their LGBTQ+ relationships as the butt of jokes during the era or treat these characters in a bad light, this film treats this love as something pure, honest, and undeniable. – Robert Lee

‘But I’m A Cheerleader’ (1999)

Image via Lionsgate Films

The 1990s were great for campy movies, but few have become as influential for the millennial generation as Jamie Babbit‘s 1999 satirical teen comedy, But I’m a Cheerleader. Natasha Lyonne stars as Megan, a popular girl sent to a conversion camp after her parents suspect her of being a lesbian. Dealing with her sexual identity, Megan becomes close to Graham, a fellow girl at the camp played by Clea DuVall.

Deliciously funny and tongue-in-cheek, But I’m a Cheerleader is a clever and self-aware comedy about the intricacies and struggles of coming out. Opting for a campy approach to a deeply serious subject, the film finds humor in one of the most challenging moments in a queer person’s life, thus finding new power in the experience.

31

‘The Living End’ (1992)

The 1992 drama The Living End is another example of the New Queer Cinema of the 1990s. The plot centers on two men, Luke, a dissatisfied grifter, and Jon, a meek film critic, who embark on a journey of liberation and recklessness after Luke kills a homophobic cop.

Drawing inspiration from Ridley Scott‘s groundbreaking ode to feminism, Thelma and Louise, The Living End was an empowering and disruptive film, especially during the early 90s. The film deals with queer themes crucial at the time, including HIV and homophobia. Sexy, chaotic, and ultimately rewarding, The Living End is an achievement of queer cinema that paved the way for many future films.

‘To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar’ (1995)

The late Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo star in the 1995 comedy To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. The plot follows three New York drag queens – Vida, Noxeema, and Chi-Chi – stranded in a small town while traveling to Hollywood.

Along with other films from around the same time, To Wong Foo was a major turning point for queer cinema. Swayze and Snipes were major movie stars known for their conventionally manly roles; seeing them starring in an LGBTQ+ film and spending the entirety of the film in drag was not insignificant. To Wong Foo is far from perfect, a tame and superficial look into drag culture; however, it remains a fun and impressive achievement that successfully brought drag into the mainstream.

‘I Saw the TV Glow’ (2024)

Image via A24

One of the most notable and exemplary transgender allegories in the genre, I Saw the TV Glow secures director Jane Schoenbrun’s status as a modern master of LGBTQ+ filmmaking. The film follows the story of anxious teenager Owen, who finds an unexpected refuge and escape from the pains of life through a spooky television show called “The Pink Opaque.” However, as Owen reflects upon his youth and experiences watching the show with his friend, Maddy, the lines between reality and fantasy begin to blur together.

While the film’s LGBTQ+ nature is much more tied to symbolism and themes than direct mention by characters, said symbolism and allegory manage to be so overwhelmingly confident that it’s near-impossible to not notice the film’s transgender themes. The film brilliantly uses the concepts of dysmorphia as fuel for its dread and horror, creating a cycle where its characters feel trapped inside a body and life that isn’t their own, slowly dying as a result. The film will only continue to be a mainstay for modern LGBTQ+ horror, as it has already amassed a massive and dedicated selection of fans. – Robert Lee

‘Pink Flamingos’ (1972)

Image via New Line Cinema

John Waters is the arbiter of poor taste. The director is infamous for his inflammatory films that offer a campy, excessive, and often disruptive look at queer culture, mocking traditional values and finding the sweet spot between art, camp, and outright sleaze. Nowhere is this remarkable approach more obvious than in his 1972 classic Pink Flamingos.

The film follows notorious drag queen Divine, the self-described “filthiest person alive,” whose title gets challenged by the Marbles, a pair of cheap criminals. Pink Flamingos is not an easy watch – in fact, many might consider it among the all-time sickest movies. However, there’s plenty to admire in its ballsy approach and desire to willfully challenge conventions and notions about appropriate behavior. Pink Flamingos was a major hit in the underground circuit, helping to build a much-needed sense of community during a particularly challenging time.

‘The Boys in the Band’ (1970)

Image Via National General Pictures

The 1970 drama The Boys in the Band was a stepping stone in queer cinema’s ongoing journey. Based on Mart Crowley’s eponymous play, the film follows a group of gay men gathering for a party at an Upper East Side apartment. Tensions rise after an unexpected arrival, leading the party into chaos.

Pessimistic, gloomy, and harrowing, The Boys in the Band is not exactly pleasant. However, the film is a major entry in queer cinema, standing as one of the earliest mainstream films to revolve around gay characters. The Boys in the Band offers a decidedly cynical portrayal of the gay community, but its insights into the characters’ self-loathing, doubts, and repression undoubtedly rang true to many in the original 1970s audience – unfortunately, it still rings true today.

‘The Favourite’ (2018)

Image via Searchlight Pictures

A trio of mighty performers star in the deliciously wicked comedy The Favourite. Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz star in the film about two cunning and manipulative women vying for the attention of the vulnerable, unstable, and fragile Queen Anne of England.

Sharp, unapologetic, biting, and darkly funny, The Favourite is a stellar achievement of modern queer cinema. Strengthened by a trio of titanic performances from its three leads, the film finds the ideal balance between dark comedy, period drama, and timely subtext, resulting in one of the most complex, layered, and outright hilarious queer films in recent memory.

Cinema lovers should always strive to celebrate diversity in film. It might’ve taken long – too long, in fact – but cinema is becoming more inclusive, celebrating stories about every identity in the wide and colorful sexual spectrum.

Stefon Diggs is setting the record straight after a public argument with Cardi B sparked speculation about their relationship status. 

The NFL star addressed the viral confrontation weeks after the pair were seen having a tense exchange outside a Maryland coffee shop and gym. 

While the incident fueled breakup rumors, Diggs insists there is no bad blood between them. His latest comments come after a whirlwind year that included a romance, a child, a split, and an unexpected reunion.

Stefon Diggs brushed off concerns about the heated exchange that made headlines last month, insisting that things between him and Cardi B are still good.

In a video published on Wednesday, the 32-year-old athlete spoke with TMZ and was asked about his current relationship with the rapper following their very public disagreement.

Diggs made it clear that he still has deep affection for Cardi B, saying, “That’s my child’s mother. I love her to death.” 

When pressed for more details about where they stand today, however, he declined to speak for her, adding, “You have to ask her.”

The football player also downplayed the seriousness of the confrontation itself. Asked about the explosive argument that was caught on camera, Diggs responded, “What argument? I don’t even think that was an argument,” while pointing out that he remained calm throughout the interaction.

Diggs Says He And Cardi B Are Still ‘Great’

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs’ reunion appears to have hit a speedbump after they were recently spotted arguing outside a Maryland coffee shop.

On Wednesday (May 13), TMZ shared footage of the Bardi screaming down her latest child’s father near a coffee shop and a gym in… pic.twitter.com/Flxlj0p9NK

— XXL Magazine (@XXL) May 13, 2026

Although paparazzi noted that Cardi B appeared considerably more animated during the encounter, Stefan Diggs refused to characterize the moment as a major dispute. 

After TMZ suggested the Grammy-winning artist looked fairly fired up, he simply replied, “That’s okay … women get like that sometimes.”

Despite the attention surrounding the footage, Diggs repeatedly emphasized that there is no ongoing tension between the two. He described their current relationship status in simple terms, insisting they are “great.”

His comments came after fans were left confused by the pair’s recent public appearances. Diggs and Cardi B shocked followers when they reunited in May and packed on the PDA at Diggs’ Mother’s Day event. 

The affectionate outing led many to believe the former couple had rekindled their romance after their split earlier this year. 

However, that hope was quickly overshadowed with doubt when they were later spotted arguing outside a coffee shop and gym in Maryland, fueling fresh speculation about trouble behind the scenes.

Stefon Diggs And Cardi B’s Relationship Has Seen Plenty Of Twists

The latest chapter in Diggs and Cardi’s relationship follows a roller-coaster timeline. 

The pair began dating in 2025 and eventually made their romance Instagram-official last June. Their relationship continued to draw attention after they welcomed a son together.

However, the couple broke up in February, making their Mother’s Day reunion all the more surprising to fans. Meanwhile, Cardi has since addressed the viral video of her altercation with Diggs.

As The Blast reported, the “I Like It” hitmaker offered a humorous explanation for what happened, rather than fueling speculation. “Sometimes I forget I’m a celebrity,” she tweeted.

She followed that up with a relatable explanation for the confrontation, writing, “Damn y’all ain’t never cuss your babydad out when you hungry?”

Diggs’ Former Staff Accuses Him Of Abuse

Besides the public altercation, Stefon Diggs and Cardi B’s recent reunion was also overshadowed by explosive allegations from Diggs’ former personal chef, Jamila Adams. 

Just weeks after the pair sparked reconciliation rumors, Adams publicly claimed that Diggs mistreated Cardi during her pregnancy and after the birth of their son. 

As The Blast reported, Adams posted a social media video on May 11 directed at the rapper and alleged, “The same person that abused you abused me.”

Adams also revealed that there were text messages to prove that Diggs spoke down to and belittled the Grammy Award winner during their time together. 

Stefon Diggs’ Accuser Alleges Prior Romance Before Becoming His Personal Chef

Prior to the revelation, Diggs’ legal saga took another dramatic turn after Adams made a claim about the nature of their relationship.

According to The Blast, Adams stated during court testimony tied to her assault allegations against Diggs that she and the former New England Patriots receiver had a sexual relationship before she was hired as his live-in personal chef in 2025.

According to her testimony, what began as a friendship eventually became romantic, then evolved into a professional arrangement.

Adams also alleged that Diggs assaulted her during a dispute at his Massachusetts home, while Diggs consistently denied the accusations and pleaded not guilty.

After a two-day trial, a jury found Diggs not guilty of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges.

They got a text — and found love in the Love Island USA villa. The beloved British dating show made its way across the pond in 2019, following a crop of American bombshells searching for The One in a luxury tropical villa.

“The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community.

Melanie and Sincere

The duo had chemistry on Day 1 and are still an item in the villa.

While Beatriz and Sean were hot and heavy quickly, she chose to explore her options when given the chance. She then went to Paradise Cove with bombshell Gabriel.

Before Nicolas Cage played the web-slinging superhero in Spider-Noir and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, he starred in one of the most iconic film franchises from Disney which has recently made a streaming comeback. This feature led to a franchise, including a Disney+ series with 10 episodes and starring notable Hollywood names. And while it got mixed critics’ reviews, audiences loved it.

Cage started his career in 1981 and has since appeared in many projects, with the most recent being Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, as well as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Teen Titans GO! To the Movies, and Snowden, but he also has many producer credits under his belt. But out of all the movies and TV shows Cage has worked on, there are a few projects that he’s known for, and one of them recently became a streaming hit.

National Treasure was a 2004 historical fiction action-adventure that kick-started a franchise, leading to a sequel and a Disney+ show that came out in 2022. Cage starred in the film as treasure hunter Benjamin Gates, as he and his friend Riley (Justin Bartha) attempt to find the treasure hidden in America by the Founding Fathers and other notable people in history, before crime boss Ian Howe (Sean Bean) can. Recently, National Treasure landed at #5 on Hulu’s Top 10 Movies in the U.S., sitting between 2024’s Twisters and The Home with Pete Davidson.

Is ‘National Treasure’ Worth Watching?

Since its release in 2004, National Treasure has generated over $347.5 million at the box office, leading to a sequel released in 2007 called National Treasure: Book of Secrets, which performed higher at the box office, and there’s speculation that a third installment could be on the table. Disney attempted to lure new viewers to the franchise with a Disney+ series called National Treasure: Edge of History, but it was poorly received and was canceled after its first season. While critics gave the first National Treasure movie a 47% score on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences praised the 2004 feature, earning a 78% score on the popcornmeter and a 3.3-star rating on LetterBoxd.

Critics criticized National Treasure, stating it was trying to be Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, but merged with a history lesson, or that it was like The Da Vinci Code, but with the religious context replaced with American history. Others didn’t believe that Cage was convincing enough to be a treasure hunter and saw him as a “social studies teacher.” However, some critics gave National Treasure some praise, saying that it “gave America sex appeal” and that it’s a guilty pleasure, and the only reason why is because of Cage’s performance.

National Treasure is available to stream on Hulu.

If you’re not in the mood for stiff, scratchy denim lately, you’re not alone. Amanda Seyfried is in the same boat, as are New York rich moms who rock Seyfried’s comfy and flattering (yet polarizing) capri pants style. We found the look on sale for only $7!

For a movie premiere in Paris, Seyfried paired capri leggings with a skirt and a sharp blazer, a getup that works on the streets of the 8th arrondissement and Tuesday in Milwaukee alike. These chic cropped pants infuse any getup with intention; with Seyfried’s style stamp of approval, they’re not so controversial anymore.

Get the Sinophant High-Waisted Capri Leggings for $7 (was $10) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change.

These trendy Sinophant High-Waisted Capri Leggings have the same slimming, lengthening effect Seyfried showed off. The high waist smooths your midsection, while the cropped hem elongates your frame, making your legs look longer and leaner without even trying.

Then, there’s the buttery-soft fabric that feels like a second skin. These capri pants are designed to carry you from the boardroom to boxing class, looking and feeling your best.

One happy Amazon shopper wrote, “They are soft and stretchy, but bounce back when you are wearing them, so they don’t become baggy . . . For a short person like me, they are very high-waisted, but it stops me from having a muffin top and keeps my tummy flat.”

Over 5,000 fashionistas bought these leggings last month alone, wearing them for lounging, errands and everything in between. They go from casual to dressy in seconds, working just as well with a quarter-zip and sneakers as they do with a silk blouse and flats.

Capri pants have a long road to credibility, but we can thank fashionistas like Seyfried for nudging them along. This comfy, skin-soft version makes it easy to rock the look, and once you slip it on, you’ll understand why it’s winning over even the skeptics.

Seyfried approves. Paris approves. At just $7, your wallet certainly approves, too!
