Flavor Flav is turning the spotlight on women in sports during this week’s SHE Weekend in Las Vegas. The celebration is designed to inspire, uplift, and celebrate female athletes during the four-day event.

The fun begins on Thursday evening with some exciting events for fans to enjoy. Here’s what you need to know if you plan to attend. 

SHE Weekend was started by Flavor Flav to honor female athletes from the 2026 Winter Games. The multi-day celebration will recognize competitors and their achievements in a way only Vegas can with a series of events across The Strip. 

The fun begins on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Toshiba Plaza in front of T-Mobile Arena. At 8 p.m., the parade begins at Park MGM, turning right on Las Vegas Blvd. near CVS/Park MGM, then right on Bruno Mars Drive, and ends at Toshiba Plaza around 8:30 p.m.

When the parade arrives at Toshiba Plaza, there will be a Key to the Strip and Proclamation presentation, and then a live performance by Public Enemy, Blue deTiger, Grace Bowers, and other special guests. The parade will include floats carrying the athletes and special appearances by Vegas-based sports organizations, community groups, and others. 

And did we mention the party at Toshiba Plaza and parade are free and open to the public? For fans who are unable to attend, they can follow along at home on the SHE Center: The Official Show of Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend.

How Did The Idea For SHE Weekend Get Started?

The idea for the big Vegas celebration happened earlier this year when Flavor Flav took to X to share a message for the USA Women’s Hockey team after they declined an invite to Washington, D.C.

“If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite, I’ll host them in Vegas,” he tweeted. “Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real.” 

The rapper also took to his Instagram page to share more about his idea.

“Cuz this wasn’t big enough,,, I wanna invite ALL the female Olympic and Paralympic medalists from the United States out to Vegas and we got you covered,, we gonna do some nice dinners, throw a big party and a parade and a concert,,, and go to some concerts and shows,” he wrote. “Thankx to all the companies and brands and musicians and entertainers who reached out. We gonna celebrate and show em SHE GOT GAME!!”

It Didn’t Take Long For Flavor Flav To Get Approval From The County

It didn’t take long for Clark County Commissioners to approve the idea, for a date to be chosen, and for businesses and fans to get involved. In mid-May, Flavor Flav shared good news about the planning of SHE Weekend.

“I gotta let everybody know right now, my Flavor Flav’s ‘SHE Weekend’ just got approved officially today by the commissioners,” he said enthusiastically in a video shared on IG. “Right here in Vegas, it’s going down July 16 to the 19th.” 

His caption continued to share more about the event.

“FLAVOR FLAV::: ITS HAPPENING!! ITS REALLY HAPPENING!! SHE Weekend was approved by the Las Vegas Clark County Commissioners today!! Thatz right,,, imma bringing the celebration to Vegas and am officially hosting a FREE PUBLIC CELEBRATION + CONCERT + PARADE ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP!!” the caption reads. “Your boy has been putting in the work,,, including spending hours and hours at these commissioners meetings,,, but hard work pays off.”

Flavor Flav Is ‘Honored’ To Be Able To Host SHE Weekend In Vegas

The event will also feature two days of curated panels for the athletes and a keynote by Chantell Preston, Co-Founder/Owner of San Francisco Signal, a League One Volleyball Team, as well as exclusive tickets and meet-and-greet opportunities for Ed Sheerhan and the Backstreet Boys for the athletes.

There will also be a dinner celebration hosted by MGM Resorts.

“I am honored to be able to host these incredible athletes here in Las Vegas for my Flavor Flav SHE Weekend,” Flavor Flav said in a statement, according to PEOPLE. “I want to thank everybody who has reached out wanting to get involved… This weekend is gonna be action-packed!”

Recently, Flavor Flav shared some information about the #NotAloneChallenge on the Flavor Flav’s SHE Weekend’s Instagram page.

“We’re celebrating women in sports and putting free mental health tools in everyone’s hands. Because even champions need support. Get the free toolkit at NotAloneChallenge.org. Link in bio,” he shared in the caption. “You are not alone.”

In the carousel of slides, one states, “1 in 3 elite athletes face a mental health challenge.” Another slide shares information about a free mental health toolkit.

Lenny Kravitz raised eyebrows in 2024 when he shared a viral video of himself working out in leather pants. Now at 62 years old, the singer is revisiting the revelation, confirming that he still sticks to his preferred workout clothing while pumping iron, and he has a practical reason for doing so. Kravitz also talked about being in the best shape of his life, while also admitting there’s still one part of his physique he’d like to improve.

Lenny Kravitz is known for his signature style, blending vintage pieces with his rock-and-roll persona. He’s often seen onstage wearing leather pants, and while they certainly make a statement, they aren’t exactly known for their comfort, especially when worn during workouts. However, that’s exactly what the Grammy award-winning singer does.

Kravitz has a practical reason for doing so, as he said he could simply fit in some gym time when he’s not on the stage performing. Moreover, he uses his pants, leather or jeans, as a fitness gauge. “I perform onstage in leather, denim, whatever, so those are the pants I wear to train,” he told Men’s Health.

The singer wears 28-inch pants, and when some areas feel tighter, he knows it’s time to get in shape. Kravitz shared a saying Denzel Washington told him that he lives by: “The pants don’t lie, the pants don’t lie.”

The Singer’s Workout Video Went Viral In 2024

In 2024, Kravitz shared a video of himself weight-training in a tank top, leather pants, and boots. The clip went viral, with many commenting on his preferred choice of workout clothing.

“My man never breaks character. Full-time rock star,” one user noted, with another adding, “Reasons why I haven’t started working out: 1. I don’t own any leather pants.”

Even fellow celebrities weighed in, with Wiz Khalifa noting he needed better gym outfits, and Arsenio Hall saying that seeing Kravitz’s post made his back hurt.

Kravitz addressed the viral clip in an interview with Variety, in which he said he doesn’t work out in leather pants “for effect.” “A lot of times I’m coming from somewhere or I’m going somewhere. And I just don’t care. I’m gonna pop in, I’ve got 45 minutes we’re gonna hit it and I’m gonna go run to where I’m going,” he said.

However, he only wears leather pants for weight training. When it comes to cardio, Kravitz wears sweats instead, knowing he’ll be perspiring heavily.

Lenny Kravitz Doesn’t Want To Be Bulky

The singer has been with the same trainer, Dodd Romero, for almost three decades. Romero helps keep Kravitz in shape and has also been instrumental in healing his past physical injuries. Now, his trainer designs specific programs to help him maintain his physique.

Kravitz said his goal isn’t to bulk up. “I want a very narrow silhouette, more like Spider-Man meets Bruce Lee, you know what I mean? Bruce Lee looked good in clothes,” he said. While he’s quite happy with his body, he shared that there’s one area he’d like to improve.

“I gotta fill out my legs a little bit,” Kravitz said, noting that Romero is working on that by adding more deadlifts and lunges to his workout routine.

The Singer Does Not Eat Before 3 P.M.

Kravitz’s first meal daily is usually after 3 or 4 p.m., but it isn’t intentional. “It’s not because I’m trying to intermittent fast; it’s just the way I am,” he said, adding that he can’t eat immediately after waking.

He is used to having a low-carb diet and opts for mostly raw and vegan foods. However, he also enjoys eggs. In addition, he consumes protein shakes and supplements. Romero reveals that Kravitz wasn’t always a disciplined eater, sharing that he used to indulge in pizza, fried chicken, and Taco Bell.

Nowadays, Kravitz rarely treats himself to a cheat meal, but when he does, his choices include pasta or bread. In Romero’s opinion, the singer is in the best shape of his life.

Lenny Kravitz Is In The Middle Of A Tour

Kravitz kicked off his “Blue Electric Light Tour” in June 2024 and has continued touring with only brief breaks along the way.

He is currently on the European leg and will be performing in Finland, Sweden, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, France, and the U.K., before heading back to the U.S. in the fall.

According to reports, Kravitz is actively working on a new album, but no title or release date has been announced yet.

After one of the most difficult years of her life, Dolly Parton is ready to step back into the spotlight, but not before spending months away from public view. 

While fans recently celebrated the country icon’s announcement that her life story is heading to Broadway, newly revealed details show where she quietly found comfort after losing her husband, Carl Dean. 

Hidden behind the gates of a sprawling Tennessee estate, Parton spent the past year grieving, healing and channeling her energy into the project that now marks her long-awaited return.

As Dolly Parton stepped away from the spotlight, much of that time was spent inside Willow Lake Plantation, the secluded Brentwood estate she shared with Dean for decades.

The property became more than just a luxury home following Dean’s death and the health issues that forced Parton to shelve her planned Las Vegas residency earlier this year. 

Tucked away on 63 acres just outside Nashville, the custom-built property has served as both a private sanctuary and a creative retreat while Parton worked on her Broadway comeback.

The singer recently surprised fans by announcing that she is returning with “DOLLY: A True Original Musical,” for which she wrote the music and book while also serving as producer. 

The production is scheduled to open in December, marking a major milestone after a challenging year away from the spotlight.

The estate itself, known as Willow Lake Plantation, was purchased by the couple in 1999 for $400,000, and is now estimated to be worth around $10 million.

Parton’s Home Reflects The Life She Built Beyond The Stage

According to aerial photographs obtained by the Daily Mail, the estate reveals a side of Dolly Parton that fans rarely get to see.

Scattered throughout the property are deeply personal touches, including a small church, towering angel statues and several converted outbuildings that have served as music and production studios over the years. 

The main home overlooks the grounds from a scenic balcony, while butterfly-shaped benches and colorful outdoor décor add unmistakable flashes of Parton’s personality.

Family also remains at the heart of the compound. Although Parton and Dean never welcomed children of their own during nearly 59 years of marriage, they devoted themselves to their nieces and nephews and later embraced the next generation as grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

That connection is reflected in an elaborate gingerbread-inspired playground featuring slides, an in-ground trampoline, a see-saw, oversized guitars and multiple playhouses built for family gatherings that have long remained out of the public eye.

Dolly Parton Continues To Honor Carl Dean In Quiet Ways

Even as the legendary country singer prepares for one of the biggest professional milestones of her career, reminders of Dean remain woven throughout the property they once shared.

Dean died at 82 in March 2025, only weeks before the couple would have celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. 

While much has changed since then, the estate continues to preserve small pieces of his presence.

Among the most poignant reminders is the white van Dean once drove, which remains parked near the children’s play area.

Elsewhere, several colorful vehicles, including Parton’s signature pink Jeep and matching golf cart, offer glimpses of the vibrant personality that has always balanced the home’s quieter moments.

Parton’s Private Struggles Emerged Behind Closed Doors

While Dolly Parton’s secluded Tennessee estate became a place of healing, those closest to the country icon previously suggested the emotional weight of losing Dean also took a physical toll. 

Speaking to the Daily Mail, one insider claimed the loss affected nearly every aspect of Parton’s life. “The life she lives now without him is crippled in comparison,” they stated.

The source added, “To know that she will never be the same absolutely has affected her deeply. Emotionally, personally, physically, it all has taken a toll.”   

Another insider alleged that Parton’s grief disrupted routines she had maintained for years, claiming, “She was not eating right, not doing the things she usually would do for her continued health, and she let things slip.”

Dolly Parton Offered Hopeful Health Update After Setback

The insider claims were later echoed by Parton herself when she addressed fans in a rare health update, explaining that complications from kidney stones, along with immune and digestive system issues, had sidelined her performances. 

Despite the setbacks, she struck an optimistic tone, telling fans, “The good news is I’m responding really well to meds and treatments, and I’m improving every day.” 

In the video, she acknowledged there was still a road ahead, adding, “I’ve still got some healing to do,” before explaining that the medication left her feeling “a little bit swimmy-headed,” making it impossible to perform safely in her signature heels. 

Even so, Parton emphasized that everything she was dealing with was treatable and assured supporters she was looking forward to getting back on stage as soon as she was fully recovered.

Throughout the late 1970s and ‘80s, Sylvester Stallone was an action star who demanded to be taken seriously. In early work from Rocky to Rambo, there was almost this refusal to wink at the audience — a solemnity to whatever battle was unfolding on-screen, whether Stallone’s leading man was fighting for his life in the ring or on the run. But by the 1990s, Stallone’s reign as action star had taken on some levity. Call it a product of the time or simply a product of Stallone learning to have a little more fun with his career, but his third decade as a screen legend involves significantly more humor and self-deprecation than what came before.

Case in point: 1993’s Demolition Man. What could have been a completely earnest and straightforward cop-versus-criminal thriller is instead a gleefully over-the-top blend of sci-fi action and comedy. The result is a film that has aged far better than many of its contemporaries, thanks largely to its willingness to poke fun at both action movie clichés and the culture surrounding them. First-time director Marco Brambilla and screenwriter Daniel Waters (of Heathers fame) leaned into the absurdity — and in doing so, didn’t just create a fun popcorn flick, but ended up predicting the future of our increasingly stupid reality 33 years later.

‘Demolition Man’ Is as Much a Satire of Stallone As It Is of Society

The setup: In 1996, reckless Los Angeles cop John Spartan (Stallone) and homicidal criminal Simon Phoenix (Wesley Snipes) are both sentenced to cryogenic imprisonment after a disastrous hostage rescue goes horribly wrong. Decades later, Phoenix escapes into the futuristic city of “San Angeles,” where society has progressed so much that cops now have very little experience dealing with violent criminals of his ilk. With no one else on the force capable of stopping him, authorities thaw Spartan and ask him to hunt down his old foe.

Stallone plays Spartan completely straight-faced, but that doesn’t mean he’s not having fun with it. Much like his performance in Judge Dredd a few years later, Stallone’s the comedic foil that makes the whole ridiculous thing work. Demolition Man imagines a very stupid future — not unlike, say, Idiocracy — that make no-nonsense Stallone types feel antiquated. Here, you’ve got a stoic action star thrust into a future where profanity is illegal, fast food places are all Taco Bell, and toilet paper has been replaced by three mysterious seashells. Stallone’s self-seriousness in the face of all this is what lands every joke.

And if that’s not clear enough of a joke, there’s also the supporting cast of comedians to consider. Denis Leary steals scenes as underground resistance leader Edgar Friendly, there to deliver the kind of sarcastic, rapid-fire monologues that made him a comedy star for a minute. Rob Schneider’s also on hand, as is Jack Black in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it background role. They join a very game Sandra Bullock as Stallone’s partner, plus the aforementioned Snipes, who’s clearly having the time of his life.

It’s So ’90s It Hurts — But It Still Holds Up More Than Three Decades Later

What separates Demolition Man from the countless other action-thrillers in Stallone’s oeuvre is how confidently it embraces its comedy. Rather than simply imagining flying cars and futuristic weapons, the film builds an entire society around exaggerated ideas of policed speech, strict public health, and corporate homogenization, with both sides taking hits. At the time of its release, it certainly felt like more of a critique of the newly established Clinton administration than the recently concluded Reagan-then-Bush run. Rampant consumerism, extreme public health initiatives, mass surveillance, laws governing people’s sexuality… But when viewed in 2026, the target of its Brave New World-inspired spoof has changed sides.

Critics were (and, often, still are) divided on this one, but one thing they could agree on was that Demolition Man was more self-aware than the average Stallone blockbuster. Audiences showed up for it, too: It grossed $159 million worldwide, which is only further proof of this being one of the actor’s best. Present day, Demolition Man still entertains. The way it blends together explosive action, broad comedy, science-fiction world-building, and a wacky ensemble shouldn’t work, but it still does. Check it out while it’s currently streaming free on Tubi.

Influencer Jen Hamilton has hinted at the circumstances that led to her divorce from estranged husband, Brian Hamilton.

“Me crying for weeks about a man I was loyal to for 15 years who wanted everyone but me,” the social media star and labor nurse wrote over the beginning of a TikTok video shared on Tuesday, July 14. Moments later, Jen, 37, is then seen opening her eyes before further text pops up.

“Remembers … I’m a #1 NYT [New York Times] Best Selling Author with the phattest ass,” the text reads as Jen is seen standing up from a chair and mouthing “What the f***” while looking out in disbelief. (Jen, who shares sons, Ellis and Luke, with her ex, published Birth Vibes: Stories and Strategies for an Empowered Birth in May.)

“I am not worthless,” she also captioned the candid post, which attracted more than 235,000 likes in three hours.

Influencer Jen Hamilton raised eyebrows when she posted a cryptic message suggesting that she and her husband, Brian Hamilton, are heading toward a split. “Day 1: absolutely devastated. Please don’t try to reach out to anybody on my behalf. That would make everything so much worse for me,” she wrote alongside a June 2026 TikTok […]

Jen, who boasts more than 4.9 million followers on TikTok alone, confirmed via the social media platform on June 15 that she was splitting from Brian after nearly 15 years of marriage. “Yes, we are separating,” a statement written by the couple began. “This comes with enormous pain for the both of us but also gratitude for the 15 years of shared history, love, and friendship. What we are committed to is loving each other well through this transition and placing the wellbeing of the family we created at the center.”

Two weeks ago, Jen revealed that the pair’s ongoing divorce has pushed her to step away from her nursing job. “I’m taking some time off of work, which is something that I never, ever wanted,” Jen wrote via a June 29 “separation vlog” shared via Instagram. “My patients do not deserve the mental state that I would bring to the bedside right now. One moment, I’m OK. The next moment, I’m not OK.”

Influencer Jen Hamilton and her husband, Brian, have been candid about their relationship through the years. The couple exchanged vows in 2012, before welcoming sons Ellis and Luke. In June 2026, Jen — who sparked speculation that the pair had called it quits — shared her side of the story on where they stand in […]

Her explanation at the time continued, “I don’t know when those moments [of not being OK] are and my patients deserve so much better than that. There is so much happening that is so complicated that I wish that I could share right now and I cannot. Just know that I am being a kickass mom, not just to my children but to myself.”

The vlog painted a very different picture to the one portrayed by Jen in Tuesday’s TikTok, with the influencer formerly rooting for Brian amid their split. “Even after everything that has happened, I have no animosity, no ill will. I want him to find himself,” she said in the vlog. “I want him to be the bestest version of himself that he’s ever been. I’m gonna be his biggest cheerleader as he is on that journey.”

From the very beginning, the strongest aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was its casting. Without the talent of performers like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, the public would never have embraced characters like Iron Man and Captain America. MCU guru Kevin Feige is well aware of this, and he often takes a personal hand in casting. That’s especially true with films like Spider-Man: Homecoming, which involve some of Marvel’s most popular comic characters. In that film, Tom Holland made for the perfect onscreen hero; the challenge was finding someone suitable to be an equally perfect onscreen villain.

Michael Keaton got the job, and he absolutely nailed the role of the Vulture by channeling his experiences as both Batman and (fittingly enough) Birdman. As it turns out, though, this former Caped Crusader wasn’t Marvel’s first choice for this character. Feige personally offered the role to the last person you’d expect: Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and star of the insanely popular musical Hamilton. Had he squared off with Spidey back in Homecoming, it’s fair to say the MCU would never have been the same.

He Threw Away His Shot

This shocking revelation comes to us straight from Lin-Manuel Miranda. Recently, the Hamilton star appeared on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast. According to the musical legend, Kevin Feige personally offered him the role, so no audition was required. Had he said “yes,” Miranda would have gotten a healthy payday and very likely have become a mainstay of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, he declined the offer, and he did so for a reason many who are reading this can understand: he wanted to keep his wife happy!

In speaking with Horowitz, Miranda admitted he “would have been so miscast.” He made up his mind about the offer, asking when filming for Spider-Man: Homecoming would begin. Feige’s answer was, “Basically, the moment you step offstage in Hamilton.” Miranda replied, ‘Well, I love these movies, but I would really like to stay married, so I cannot do this.’” He is married to Vanessa Nadal, and they have two children together. Miranda had been looking forward to spending more time with his family once he stopped playing Hamilton, but playing the Vulture in Homecoming would mean being insanely busy for another year while being contractually tied down to future Marvel appearances.

Yes, Father. I Shall Become A Vulture

Looking back, Miranda has no regrets about his decision. He told Horowitz that he “needed a vacation so badly” after Hamilton and reiterated that “I would’ve been deeply miscast.” It’s hard not to disagree with this assessment. Part of why Michael Keaton was so great in the role is that his Vulture practically oozed menace whenever he was onscreen. By contrast, Miranda has spent a lifetime positioning himself as an affably goofy music guy. His Vulture would likely be a comedic character, and that wouldn’t work; since Spidey himself is so silly, it’s important for him to have a genuinely scary villain to bounce off of.

Lin-Manuel Miranda became a household name thanks to the success of Hamilton. He could have pivoted and become a Marvel icon, but he was very happy to “throw away his shot” at starring in Spider-Man: Homecoming. In retrospect, this was the right decision, and Miranda is the first to admit that he would’ve made a terrible villain. At least, a terrible onscreen villain. To everyone who ever got sick of their family blaring the Hamilton soundtrack at all hours of the day and on every single road trip, this guy will always be an archenemy for life! 

Zendaya is the true epitome of a red carpet icon.

The actress never fails to impress Us with her fearless, jaw-dropping style and method dressing looks. Over the years, her looks have ranged from cool pantsuits to daring naked dresses.

A throwback we’ll obsess over is her ball gown from the 2017 Met Gala, when she stunned in an off-the-shoulder Dolce & Gabbana gown.

One of our all-time favorites came to pass at the 71st annual Emmy Awards, where she wore a strapless emerald green stunner by Vera Wang which she paired with matching Brian Atwood pumps.

Alix Earle has become just as famous for her headline-making dating rumors as she is for her booming influencer career. 

Over the past few months, the social media star has repeatedly found herself linked to a string of high-profile celebrities, with each sighting fueling fresh speculation. 

However, while fans continue connecting the dots, insiders say the buzz surrounding Earle’s love life may be less about finding romance and more about keeping people talking as her next major career move approaches.

If there’s one thing Alix Earle has done consistently this year, it’s dominate celebrity dating chatter without ever publicly confirming a new relationship.

The influencer has recently found herself linked to everyone from Tom Brady and Joe Burrow to Benson Boone and Formula One standout Lando Norris. 

Every public interaction seems to spark another round of online theories, keeping fans wondering whether they’re witnessing the start of a romance or simply another viral moment.

Behind the scenes, however, insiders insist the reality is far less dramatic. Rather than settling into a serious relationship, Earle is said to be embracing single life while continuing to grow a personal brand that already reaches roughly 14 million followers and now extends into beauty and television.

One insider told the Daily Mail that Earle is “loving the attention.” The source added, “Since she’s done filming the reality show, anything you see her do now is more for attention than TV.”

According to the insider, “Of course her intriguing love life will get fans talking and spark more interest in the show so it doesn’t hurt that she’s seen hanging out with multiple guys.”

Earle’s Latest Rumors Show How Quickly The Internet Connects The Dots

Norris has become the newest celebrity pulled into Alix Earle’s orbit, but the speculation surrounding the pair says just as much about internet culture as it does about either of them.

Rumors first surfaced after the pair were spotted together during the Monaco Grand Prix in June. 

Days later, they fueled even more curiosity when they were seen leaving London’s exclusive Twenty Two club within moments of each other.

Social media only intensified the speculation. After Earle shared a photo aboard a private jet, online sleuths noticed what appeared to be a man’s arm in the corner of the image. 

Many quickly claimed the bracelet looked strikingly similar to one Norris has been photographed wearing, sending the rumor mill into overdrive once again.

Even so, sources insist there’s no romance to confirm. “Alix is single and enjoying life, having a hot girl summer,” one insider said, adding that she’s “not exclusive with any guy at the moment” and is simply “having fun.”

Alix Earle’s Tom Brady Rumors Refuse To Fade Away

Even with Norris dominating recent headlines, Brady remains one of the biggest names attached to the 25-year-old’s dating history.

Their rumored connection gained momentum after reports claimed they shared a kiss during Michael Rubin’s Fourth of July White Party in the Hamptons, but the speculation actually stretches back months. 

The pair were first seen looking friendly during a New Year’s Eve celebration in St. Barts before crossing paths again at a Super Bowl party, where a widely circulated video showing Brady placing a hand on Earle’s backside reignited public curiosity.

Still, insiders continue to dismiss the idea that the pair are secretly dating.

One source acknowledged that Earle “100 percent is into Tom Brady,” but added that “the feelings aren’t reciprocated.” 

According to the insider, they enjoy spending time together, but “there’s nothing more there than a friendship.”

Earle Seemingly Confirmed Her Single Status After Tom Brady Buzz

Alix Earle also appeared to send her clearest signal yet that she was single while walking the red carpet at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. 

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the influencer was asked which celebrity she hoped to snap a selfie with inside the star-studded event. 

Rather than naming an A-lister, Earle hinted she had something else on her mind. “Honestly, no one. I’m just, like, maybe I’ll get someone’s number or something?” she replied before adding, “Maybe I could meet someone.”   

The comments came shortly after Brady sparked dating rumors with Yael Cohen, while reports suggested Earle wasn’t concerned about the former NFL quarterback moving on.

Alix Earle And Boone Add Another Twist To Her Dating Headlines

In June, the influencer found herself at the center of another celebrity romance rumor, this time involving singer Benson Boone. 

Pictures shared on Instagram showed Earle and Boone leaving Craig’s in Los Angeles together, with the “Beautiful Things” singer opening the passenger door of his vehicle for her before the pair drove off, immediately reigniting questions about Earle’s love life.

Boone, however, quickly poured cold water on the speculation. When asked by TMZ whether they were dating, he initially replied, “Uh, no,” before clarifying that the pair were “just hanging out.”   

The outing also came shortly after Earle appeared alongside Boone in promotional content for his single “The Time of My Life,” leaving fans to wonder whether the pair’s chemistry is purely professional or simply the latest celebrity friendship to spark outsized dating rumors.

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise.” This is something of a miracle episode, one which smashed together two very different ideas and had to be assembled by four different writers over Thanksgiving. Understandably, they thought it would be a disaster, but it wasn’t. In fact, “Yesterday’s Enterprise” went on to be one of the best (if not the best) episodes of the entire series. It never seemed like a story that needed any improvement. Nonetheless, the original script reveals a huge missing opportunity at the heart of this episode.

“Yesterday’s Enterprise” is about how a change to reality put Starfleet into a brutal war against the Klingon Empire. In the changed reality, Worf is nowhere to be seen because his people are bitter enemies of the Federation. Interestingly, the original script called for Worf to provide the voice of a Klingon commander attacking the Enterprise-D. That didn’t happen in this Next Generation episode, but Deep Space Nine capitalized on this missing opportunity in a big way. In the wildly sexy DS9 episode “Shattered Mirror,” we see Worf as the galaxy’s absolute kinkiest Klingon commander!

Today Is A Good Day To Dom

The plot of the TNG episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise” is that the Enterprise-C accidentally travels to the present day. Originally, it was destroyed defending a Klingon outpost, which helped the Federation broker peace with these warlike aliens. The ship traveling to the future changed reality, plunging the Federation into a bitter, losing war with the Klingons. Interestingly, the Klingons are mostly a faceless menace in “Yesterday’s Enterprise:” we see the brutal attacks of their ships, but we never see any of their commanders. We simply hear an anonymous Klingon towards the end of the episode, demanding that Captain Picard surrender his ship.

The shooting script for “Yesterday’s Enterprise” suggested that we have a very familiar Klingon voice demanding surrender. This section of the script has a note that reads “Possibly Worf?” Obviously, the writers thought it would be a fun revelation that the Worf of this alternate universe had become a very successful Klingon warrior. Sadly, the episode opted against doing so; years later, though, Deep Space Nine picked up the slack. The DS9 episode “Shattered Mirror” revealed that Worf was a bloodthirsty regent in the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance of the Mirror Universe. He is frightening and effective, but in one way, he is very unconventional.

I’m Sensing Great Freakiness, Captain

You see, Deep Space Nine chose to portray most of the Mirror Universe as outlandishly horny. This is most notable with Kira Nerys, whose alternate reality counterpart is a sexually voracious domme who prances around in a catsuit. Just when we got used to her walking bisexual disaster, “Shattered Mirror” introduced a version of Worf who keeps Garak chained down on the bridge. Like, the Cardassian has an actual collar, complete with a short leash that Worf frequently tugs on! It’s the weirdest petplay this side of Euphoria, and it pops up like a jump scare in the middle of an otherwise family-friendly sci-fi show.

Some Star Trek fans find the Mirror Universe episodes of Deep Space Nine a little too silly. If you don’t mind over-the-top goofiness, though, these stories are a little slice of sci-fi shlock perfection. Plus, one episode, “Shattered Mirror,” deserves extra props for finally showing us Worf as a brutal Klingon commander. His voice was written into the “Yesterday’s Enterprise” script, but Michael Dorn never got to speak the lines. Years later, Deep Space Nine showed us what a human-hating Worf would look like, all while making him the kinkiest Klingon this side of Risa.

Picard’s old buddy collaring a submissive Garak in front of the entire crew? That’s what I call 50 Shades of Earl Grey!
