Influencer Chandler David Hendry Dead at 27 After Car Crash
Popular Mormon influencer Chandler David Hendry has died at age 27.
According to multiple reports, Hendry was involved in a three-vehicle car crash in Utah on Friday, August 7. A spokesperson for the Lehi City Police Department told The Salt Lake Tribune that Hendry was driving westbound when he collided with two other vehicles at the intersection of Timpanogos Highway and Morning Vista Road. He was pronounced dead at a hospital nearby.
Officers reportedly determined that Hendry was not wearing a seatbelt. No other serious injuries were sustained.
Before his death, Hendry gained nearly 13,000 subscribers on YouTube with his “Restored Truth” podcast, which was described as “scripture-centered” and “Christ-focused.”
French influencer Young Melvyn, known online as 4melvn, has died after a car accident. He was 22. French newspaper Le Parisien reported that Melvyn was driving on a highway system that connects Paris to Lyon, known as the A6b motorway, when he lost control of his car. He then reportedly crashed into the median around […]
Fellow influencers and Latter-day Saints supporters reacted to Hendry’s death after news broke of the crash.
“I just heard about Chandler ‘Chuck’ Hendry’s (@RestoredTruth8) passing this past weekend, and it is really affecting me … Chuck felt like a little brother who I had never actually met. A little brother I will always look up to,” internet personality Shaun McKnight wrote via X, adding that he would “fast and pray for the whole Hendry family.”
Pastor Jeff McCollough, host of the Hello Saints YouTube channel, called Hendry an “influential, up-and-coming voice in the LDS apologetics space” in his own tribute.

“And though it was clear that he quite passionately disagreed with my beliefs, at the end of the day, he is a fellow image-bearer … and a son, brother, husband and friend to many. Praying for God’s mercy and presence in the lives of those affected by this tragic loss,” McCollough wrote.
According to the “Restored Truth” website, a candlelight vigil was held for Hendry in Utah on Monday, August 10. A GoFundMe was also shared to help support Hendry’s wife, AnaLynn, and parents.
“Chandler touched so many lives through his social media platforms, but even more than that, he was known for being an amazing sibling, uncle, and friend,” the description reads. “He helped many people better understand the teachings of the gospel and know that they are loved by their Heavenly Father. His loss is deeply felt by family, friends, and the many people who were encouraged by his words and example.”
The fundraiser was set up with a goal of $80,000. As of Tuesday, August 11, more than $73,000 has been raised.
“The family is deeply touched by the kind comments and memories being shared by those who loved Chandler and were impacted by his life,” the description continues.

Kaia Gerber reveals that having a superstar like Cindy Crawford as a parent comes with its cons.
The rising entertainer reflected on her younger days, growing up in the industry, and being so open to public scrutiny. Paving a path as a model, just like her mom did in the 90s, has shown that sometimes the cons of walking in your parents’ footsteps outweigh the pros.
Kaia Gerber has learned to develop thick skin after being constantly compared to her mother, Cindy Crawford, for years, even though the silent hurt still lingers.
Gerber has pulled back the curtain on one of the most vulnerable parts of her life as an industry kid. The model shed light on the difficult part of having a presence in the entertainment industry while going through personal struggles.
She revealed that the glare of public scrutiny played a significant role in how she coped with the “disordered eating” she once suffered from. Noting that commenting on other people’s physiques never helps them get over their illnesses, Gerber stressed that “Negativity has never saved someone’s life.”
The rising actress caught eyes from her teenage years, following in the footsteps of her world-famous mother, who was one of the top supermodels of the 90s. Speaking to Vogue in the September issue, she observed that “We’re clearly in one of those cycles right now where people are very, very, very thin.”
The ‘Bottoms’ Actress Does Not See Her Uncanny Resemblance To Her Mother
Gerber continued speaking from a personal standpoint, confessing that she is “jealous of my mom’s body” and has always been compared to Crawford. “As someone who’s been thin most of my life… I would have loved to be born with boobs and a butt,” the 24-year-old admitted.
While promoting her latest movie “The Shards,” in which she stars alongside Homer Gere, Gerber disclosed that she vehemently disagrees with fans who say the resemblance between her and her mother is uncanny. She added that while she sees fans describing her as Crawford’s doppelganger as an honor, she does not see the resemblance.
“In all seriousness, it’s an honor when people tell me I look like my mom. I wish I did. I think even on my best days, I’m not even close,” Gerber told Yahoo! Entertainment. She went on singing her mom’s praises as the most beautiful woman before adding, “If there’s any way that I remind anyone of her, it’s just like the largest compliment.”
Kaia Gerber Acknowledges Mom’s Help Generally But Not So Much In Acting
Gerber sat down with ELLE for a chat three years ago, where she discussed the silver lining of her job as a model. She shared insights into how she handles rejection as a model, noting that she learned not to take it personally.
“The Shards” actress shared that she went in with a pre-existing mental note that she was not being rejected for anything about her as a person. Even with that mentality, rejection in the modeling industry still hurts because showing yourself means opening up to criticism.
Gerber has also faced criticism for benefiting from her mother’s notoriety, as she is often tagged a “nepo baby.” While acknowledging that her mother’s legendary status as a supermodel has helped her in some aspects, she revealed that it does not extend to her growing career as an actress.
“With acting, it’s so different. No artist is going to sacrifice their vision for someone’s kid,” she said, stressing that one’s talents had to speak for them.
Amid The High-Flying Modeling And Acting Career Is A Family Struggle
Crawford welcomed her first child, Presley, with her husband Rande in 1999. Presley, who is also a model, reportedly struggles with substance abuse. Last December, he disclosed that he had been on several depressant medications to treat his “panic attacks.”
In her recent Vogue interview, Gerber got candid about her brother’s drug use and mental health following his “decade-long struggle with drug addiction.” She noted that seeing her brother in such a state was never easy, which prompted her to decide to keep her needs to herself.
Gerber explained that it felt like too much of a burden for her parents to have two kids with pressing needs; hence, she started putting hers on the back burner. As reported by PEOPLE, the actress felt refreshed seeing her brother talk openly about his battles, as their parents often kept those parts of their lives very private.
Kaia Gerber‘s Take On Relationships
Gerber is currently in a relationship with actor Lewis Pullman. The pair sparked relationship rumors last year, and she has been vocal about the love they share. Before coupling up with Pullman, Gerber had dabbled in the dating pool with popular entertainers like Pete Davidson, Jacob Elordi, and Austin Butler.
The actress raised eyebrows with her relationship with comedian Davidson due to their age gap, seemingly walking in her mother’s footsteps. Crawford famously dated and married Richard Gere, who was 17 years older than her.
The Blast shared that during a podcast appearance last year, Gerber offered relationship advice to listeners based on her experience dating older men.
She said that a friendship was a good foundation for a relationship, adding that people should not date based on mere sexual attraction. The movie star shared that dating multiple older men led her to change and try to fit into their image rather than be her genuine self.
Will people stop comparing Kaia Gerber to Cindy Crawford over time?
Not every great song needs a guitar solo—but if there’s one, we’re not complaining. Classic rock songs typically treat the electric guitar solo as the moment when an instrument gets to speak for itself and the song without relying on lyrics. But in a sea of acclaimed guitarists, each with their own rock styles, guitar gear, and ways of translating their skills into storytelling through six strings, there’s a standout group of solos that are just as unforgettable as the songs and bands themselves.
From technically demanding performances to solos that rely entirely on feel, tone, and passionate emotions, these guitarists prove there’s more to a great solo than simply playing fast or showing off. Whether it breaks down a song’s facade, makes a guitar sound human, or simply gets a crowd moving, these are the solos that heighten their songs into the genre’s notable staples. With that said, here are the 10 most perfect guitar solos in classic rock, ranked.
10
“Aqualung” (1971) by Jethro Tull
Avid Family Guy fans have probably heard the “Aqualung” lick when Brian gets a new hairstyle with long brown hair. But before getting to the solo itself, “Aqualung” is a pastiche of three different guitar styles. There’s the memorable opening lick, made up of single-fret notes that work just as well as a bass line to anchor what comes next.
For a near-seven-minute song, Jethro Tull wouldn’t want anything repetitive. Next comes an acoustic rhythm strumming to pull away from the initial grittiness into a moment of reflection. Then the solo arrives, combining the earlier hard and soft elements through crunchy distortion and bluesy vibrato, tapping into the progressive rock energy the band is popular for.
9
“Blue Sky” (1972) by The Allman Brothers Band
It’s hard to box The Allman Brothers Band in. Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, country is inescapable from their repertoire. But being the jam band they are, the unit also punches blues, rock and jazz into their studio work. “Blue Sky,” however, is their most country-sounding track to date, with the thickest Southern influences right from the get-go.
“Blue Sky” also shows there’s always room for two lead guitarists. After the initial minute, the song pays tribute to jam traditions with a dual-guitar jam session. Duane Allman leads in with the slightest raw distortion before Dickey Betts comes in harmony with a cleaner, more melodic solo of his own.
8
“Kid Charlemagne” (1976) by Steely Dan
Although categorized under the classic rock format on the radio, Steely Dan refuses to play strictly by the rockstar playbook. The band prioritized studio-only sessions after fully stopping touring in 1971. Instead of permanent members, they had a rotating team of session musicians, meaning there was always a fresh breath of musical influences coming into each session.
One of them is “Kid Charlemagne,” whose classic rock guitar solo between the jazz-fusion piano sticks out beautifully. Only requiring two takes, the solo proves that the most tasteful solos aren’t always the flashiest. It’s about choosing when to give and when to leave space, finding the groove, and knowing when to keep it simple.
7
“Highway Star” (1972) by Deep Purple
The beginner-friendly “Smoke on the Water” might be the ultimate Guitar Center riff when shopping for a new six-string, but don’t skip Deep Purple’s most technically innovative track, “Highway Star.” Before listeners even get to the guitar solo, we’re treated to a Baroque-inspired organ solo that sets the mood for a guitar solo that’s anything but simple.
Inspired by Bach’s chord structure—Dm, Gm, C, A—the solo demonstrates how much mileage you can get from a simple progression. Its clean, precise opening is deceptive, because the second half demands relentless fast picking, speed, stamina, and tight right-left-hand coordination. No flashy sweeping or tapping required, just the technical control needed to maintain that blistering velocity.
6
“Sultans of Swing” (1978) by Dire Straits
A good guitarist knows how to get the best out of his chosen six-string, and that’s what Dire Straits does with “Sultans of Swing.” There’s certainly technique involved, with Mark Knopfler opting for a pickless, finger-style approach that gives the solo a more fluid quality than the usual ferocity expected from rock guitar.
But “Sultans of Swing” isn’t about ferocity. It’s a masterclass in feel. Any musician can master technique, but the feel is that innate, invisible element no textbook can teach. Anyone can play fast, but making a guitar “sing” like a human is instinctual. Knopfler’s precise bends and finger-style technique bring out the Fender Stratocaster’s signature clunky sound, proving that great guitar playing is about expression.
5
“Free Bird” (1973) by Lynyrd Skynyrd
The true mark of a perfect solo is whether it can make a crowd dance. It’s no secret that solos can be indulgent, especially when a guitar solo is an opportunity to show off an entire skill set. But that isn’t the case with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s solo in “Free Bird,” which recently found a revival on social media.
Coming in the song’s second half after a slower, more emotional first half, the “Free Bird” solo is a catharsis of freedom that keeps going and going, explaining its extended duration. But the live version is where it truly shines, with a church-like, gospel-hypnotizing energy that makes you want to stomp your feet along with the song’s free-spirited soul.
4
“While My Guitar Gently Weeps” (1968) by The Beatles
Fittingly enough, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” features a solo that, if you close your eyes, sounds like someone is wailing. Although the track was written by fellow guitarist George Harrison of The Beatles, the solo itself is played by famed guitarist Eric Clapton, who overdubbed the lead guitar part.
Like Dire Straits, Clapton plays more on feel, using the right techniques and a Fender Stratocaster to achieve its brighter tone. The difference is that Clapton had already perfected his signature “woman tone,” a thick, rich, muffled yet sharp sound that resembles a woman singing. On “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” that distinctive tone makes the guitar feel almost human, as if it’s genuinely crying.
3
“Hotel California” (1977) by Eagles
“Hotel California” is proof that you can tell stories without words. A song about the dark side of the American Dream, The Eagles vividly portray a disillusioned, weary traveler trapped in a cycle of glittering hedonism that promises success, only to lead to self-destruction.
The dual guitars, which somehow act like a call-and-response, emphasize that journey. It starts with a singular guitar, offering a taste of Hollywood’s intoxication, but once you’re sucked in, the dual guitars arrive, thickening the whirlwind of the decadent illusion that never seems to end. Like the never-ending solo itself, you’re trapped in this glittering motion, endlessly circling the same seductive fantasy with no way out.
2
“Stairway to Heaven” (1971) by Led Zeppelin
“Stairway to Heaven” is the stuff of dad-rock lore—jokingly referred to as “forbidden” Led Zeppelin riff. While many listeners are hooked by the acoustic melody at the beginning, the solo brings the song full circle. A song about how all that glitters isn’t gold, the solo’s explosiveness literally breaks down that facade, allowing listeners to see the song from a new perspective.
“Stairway to Heaven” is a cornucopia of technique, guitar writing, and playing by feel. And while it’s grandiose, it never feels excessive. When that first note hits, it feels like your eyes are opened for the first time, suddenly revealing a new light—the very message behind the song, as “the tune will come to you at last.”
1
“Comfortably Numb” (1979) by Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd is essentially a music lab, proving that the sky’s the limit when it comes to sonic experimentation. While some guitarists opt for simplicity in tone, Pink Floyd shows that thoughtful experimentation can bring out more from your musicality while unlocking another layer of vocabulary to emphasize a song’s message.
“Comfortably Numb” is an introspective tune about the troubles lingering in our minds. Its guitar tone paints the hollow depths of human consciousness through careful technical choices, whether it’s combining aggressive crunch with smooth, singing sustain or knowing when to let the sound breathe and slowly fade away. Ultimately, it’s all about intention: using every element of the guitar to make the emotion speak louder.

Paramount+’s New True-Crime Series Officially Turns Dominic Cooper Into a Charming Con Man
The always-charming Dominic Cooper has played some of the slickest characters on the big and small screen, including Tony Stark’s Howard Hughes-ian father, Howard, in a series of MCU productions, and the hellraising Jesse Custer in AMC’s Preacher. Now, he’s turning that charisma into the purposes of evil in a new series for Paramount+. The series is an adaptation of the popular 2019 Australian podcast of the same name; both are based on the true story of Hamish McLaren, a globe-trotting con artist.
In Who the Hell Is Hamish?, Cooper stars as the title character; he’s a cultured, magnetic individual who charms his way into the heart of Bec (Claire van der Boom, Hawaii Five-0), a single mother who’s sitting on a substantial trust fund. However, Bec soon realizes that Hamish’s life doesn’t seem to entirely add up; she starts to put the pieces of his past together and finds a disturbing pattern. The six-episode drama series has now wrapped filming in Queensland, Australia, and will premiere on Paramount+ globally later this year.
Paramount announced the series with a first-look image of Cooper as Hamish, looking pensive with a blonde dye job. The series was written and created by Adam Zwar, who created the original Australian version of Wilfred; it was directed by Jeffrey Walker, a veteran of Australian series like Apple Cider Vinegar and The Artful Dodger. Says Tracey Robertson, a producer on the series and the CEO of production company Hoodlum Entertainment: “After six years in development, it’s extraordinary to see Who The Hell Is Hamish? finally come to life. Adam Zwar’s scripts are razor-sharp, full of wit, tension, and deep compassion for the people at the heart of this story, and Jeffrey Walker has brought them to the screen with a confidence and craft that is genuinely world-class.”
Who Else Stars in ‘Who the Hell Is Hamish?’
In addition to Cooper and van der Boom, the series also features an all-star Australian cast, including Simone Kessell (Yellowjackets), William McKenna (Good Cop/Bad Cop), Kate Jenkinson (Monarch: Legacy of Monsters), Miah Madden (My Brilliant Career), Fraser Anderson (Black Snow), Yasmin Kassim (Anaconda), Doris Younane (Last King of the Cross), Maria Angelico (Strife), Marta Dusseldorp (Bay of Fires), John Howard (Mad Max: Fury Road), Andrea Moor (Deadloch), Joel Jackson (Play Dead), Remy Hii (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Damien Garvey (Nautilus), Jack LaTorre (Nine Perfect Strangers) and newcomer Harvey Bowen.
Who the Hell Is Hamish? has wrapped production and will be released on Paramount+ later this year. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
Beyond the Gates weekly prediction edition include Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) finding out something horrifying that will change his life for the worse forever. Plus, Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit) is pushed too far and she’s got to throw down with somebody.
We have got predictions for Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Haley Lawson (Marquita Goings), for Tomas Navarro (Alex Alegria) and Naomi, for Bill and Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley), for Andre and Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones), and also for Bill and Andre.
Beyond the Gates: Naomi Swipes at Tomas
Our first prediction, Naomi writes Tomas a reality check. Wednesday spoilers have Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad) telling Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson) that Naomi is lawyering her anxiety away. And on Wednesday, Naomi and Tomas lock horns. Naomi’s at Bill Hamilton’s (Timon Kyle Durrett) law office.
Tomas confronts her saying, “Bill’s not even gone and you’re here marking your territory.” And Naomi asked, “What the hell did you just say to me?” So, Bill’s collapse has left the law office in a lurch. Caroline ran back to deal with it after making sure that Bill was taken care of. And Tomas feels like as Bill’s right hand and new junior partner, he should take the reigns in Bill’s absence on Beyond the Gates.
Tomas already told Bill he doesn’t mind working with Naomi, but he doesn’t want to work for Naomi. But in the aftermath of Bill’s latest collapse, Naomi goes over to check on her dad’s practice. Now, mind you, Bill has pestered her before to join the firm, but she refused. And now Naomi stepping in while Bill’s in critical condition, and Tomas is going to feel threatened.
I’m sure he thinks he should run things in Bill’s absence. And Tomas is getting rude with Naomi, but she’s not having it. And honestly, Tomas picked the wrong day to get in her face. Naomi is upset about what happened to her dad, and she’s likely also looking around the office for Bill and Haley’s prenup. But I doubt that Naomi came there to take over Bill’s practice. But if Tomas pushes Naomi’s buttons, she might write him a reality check and grab the reigns.
BTG Predictions and Revelations: Hayley Tries to Finosh Off Bill
Anyway, our second prediction, Haley panics and tries one last time to kill Bill. Monday. If you saw the episode, Dani read Haley for filth and referred to herself as Bill’s wife, which dropped jaws. Haley also told Ashley to ban Dani from Bill’s room. Tuesday, spoilers. We’ve got Bill making a request of Dani that infuriates Haley, and by Thursday, Caroline Lee (Ellie Wang) and Haley are playing each other.
So, Haley had all this planned. She’s been drugging Bill for months, slowly poisoning him, and Haley was going to finish Bill off in St. Barts because Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) was going to write her up a death certificate and then cremate Bill ASAP so there couldn’t be an autopsy. Unfortunately, he collapsed before he could meet Haley at the airport. So, her plans are all thrown off and with all the family at the hospital and Dani being territorial, Haley has a lot of problems.
She’s in panic mode while pretending to worry about Bill. After his pacemaker surgery, the doctors may finally do the right tests that uncover the source of his sickness. That’s poison. And everybody will suspect that his toxic little wife did it. And that may be part of why Haley banned Dani from his room because Haley may want to get him alone so that she can finish Bill off.
Beyond the Gates: Haley Won’t Give Up
I could see Haley having someone get her a drug that she can put in Bill’s IV or she might smother him with a pillow or with that ample bosom of hers. I don’t know. At least Bill would die happy that way. What I do know is Haley is likely going to try one last time to finish off Bill. Otherwise, Haley is going to be scrambling. She could try to put the blame onto someone as a jealous lover or run off empty-handed. You know, Haley might have time to empty out a couple of bank accounts and then run.
Our third prediction, Bill puts Dani in charge. Tuesday’s spoilers have Bill making a request of Dani that makes Haley really mad. So, Bill may find out from Haley what Dani said about herself being Bill being her husband. And we know that Bill has low-key kind of been looking to reunite with Dani for a while. Basically, Bill’s tired of his new plaything and he wants the woman he loves back. That’s Dani. And Bill can’t stop thinking about their tornado elevator sex.
He even tried to get Dani to have a fling with him. But hearing she called him husband may have Bill optimistic. And his kids may pressure him. Please don’t trust Haley. As far as Bill knows, Haley’s been trying to keep him healthy. But if Bill has any suspicions, his daughters may beg him to give Dani his medical power of attorney to protect him, to keep Haley from kicking Dani out.
And that may be what enrages Haley. Their daughters may want that, but I bet Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie) and Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) won’t because they’re already floored that Dani declared she’ll always be Bill’s wife. But if she takes over as medical proxy, I’m sure that Dani will rub it right in desperate Haley’s face.
Beyond the Gates: Heather Stalking Andre?
Our fourth prediction, Heather is Andre’s stalker. So, on Monday, when Heather got Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) drunk up at the casino, she was ditching her own shots into a bucket so she stayed sober. But we did learn one interesting thing.
Heather confessed to Vanessa that she doesn’t have a guy, but she has her eye on someone, but she whispered that it was a secret. Wednesday spoilers have Andre going to his uncle Ted for advice. And by Friday, Andre is lured to a mysterious rendezvous. So, Heather made a point of making friends with Dani at Uptown.
She even lingered after Vanessa left. And of course, that’s Andre’s wife. So, the question is, was Heather targeting both Vanessa and Dani when she crashed their brunch? Heather also revealed she invested in the fashion house of a designer friend she and Dani have in common. Andre is a fashion photographer who works with designers, so maybe Heather is Andre’s creepy stalker on Beyond the Gates.
Maybe Heather met him in London. Andre told Dani the other day he ran amuck and didn’t make good decisions in Europe for a while.bAnd she told Andre, “We all have a past.” But he seems to have an idea who his stalker might be, but he’s hoping if he ignores it, they’ll stop.
But Smitty Smith (Mike Manning) thinks it’s more serious than an old friend or girlfriend trying to get in touch with Andre. So, Friday with Andre getting a message to meet the stalker. I guess we’ll see if it’s Heather. She was way too interested in Dani. So, we’ll see.
Beyond the Gates: Bill Spills to Andre
Our fifth and final prediction. Bill tells Andre about cheating with Dani. On Thursday, Andre has a tense visit with Bill. And by Friday, Dani’s in the hot seat with Anita, Vernon, and Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix). And Andre is lured to that mystery stalker thing.
So, Dani’s been keeping this cheating that she did with Bill secret for a while. Dani immediately told Vanessa, but Dani hasn’t told Andre. And Dani chewed Bill a new one and threatened him. And Dani made Bill promise that he would never reveal their dirty cheating secret.
But with him in a life or death medical situation this week and finding out his marriage to Haley isn’t what he thought, I could honestly see Bill blabbing the secret to Andre. Bill may try and wreck Dani’s marriage so that he can have Dani all to himself and she’s facing a family grilling by the end of the week.
That may be about the husband remark or they may all find out that Bill and Dani did their little love in an elevator thing and cheated on their spouses. Of course, Anita and Vernon will hate that, but Bill may think that blabbing is worth the risk.
If he tells Andre their dirty secret, he assumes that Andre will dump Dani. And of course, she’d be mad at Bill, but he’s also probably banking on Dani forgiving him like she always does. And with Haley and Andre out of the way, Bill may think he and Dani could get back together. So, we’ll see.
The truth never stays hidden on a soap. And if Dani had been the one to tell Andre, I think he’d forgive her. But if Andre hears it from Belle, that’s probably going to be a deal breaker. Because one thing Dani and Andre agreed on was no lies. And now they’re both keeping secrets. Her about Bill and Andre about this lady stalker.
Demi Lovato is getting honest about what being married feels like.
The singer recently shared heartfelt insights into her first year of marriage, reflecting on how her husband, Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, has positively impacted her life since they tied the knot.
The couple got engaged in December 2023 and exchanged vows in May 2025, during an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.
During the premiere of “Camp Rock 3,” Lovato opened up about her recent first wedding anniversary, pointing to transparent dialogue as the cornerstone of their relationship.
She revealed that being open with one another has strengthened her bond with Lutes and has made her a very happy woman.
“When you’re able to communicate with each other what you need, what you want, it creates a safe space for the two of you to share your feelings with one another,” she explained to PEOPLE Magazine.
Emphasizing how essential that open dialogue has been over their first 12 months as husband and wife, the star expressed deep fulfillment in her married life. She also gushed about her partner, noting that the affection she feels towards him has continuously blossomed since she walked down the aisle.
“My love for Jordan grows every single day, and I’ve never been so happy in my life. So I think communication is a big part of that,” Lovato added.
Demi Lovato & Jordan Lutes Have Been Smitten With Each Other
Reports from earlier in the year highlighted how closely the couple remained connected as they approached their first wedding anniversary. Attending high-profile industry events in February 2026, Lovato and Lutes demonstrated that their relationship was firmly still in its honeymoon phase.
According to The Blast, eyewitnesses at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala observed the pair holding hands and sharing affectionate moments throughout the evening.
Attendees noted Lutes’ attentive demeanor, revealing that he stepped in to grab drinks for Lovato and supported her as she mingled with celebrity peers, including Heidi Klum, Madison Beer, and Darren Criss.
Inside Demi Lovato & Jordan Lutes’ Relationship Timeline
Tracing the arc of their romance, the couple’s relationship transitioned from artistic collaboration into a deep personal connection before ending in marriage.
The pair first connected professionally in July 2022 while co-writing music for Lovato’s eighth studio album, “Holy Fvck.” Their working dynamic quickly evolved into a romantic relationship, with the couple going public in August 2022.
They further commemorated their romance on social media during Lovato’s 30th birthday, exchanging heartfelt tributes. Responding to Lutes’ birthday post, Lovato praised him as the “best boyfriend in the world,” as reported by Us Weekly.
Their public appearances continued into the following year, with the couple making their red-carpet debut at Clive Davis’ annual Pre-Grammys Gala in February 2023. Months later, in December 2023, Lutes proposed during an intimate gathering.
The couple officially solemnized their union on May 25, 2025, in an intimate ceremony held at an estate in Santa Barbara, California. Attendees noted the emotional atmosphere as Lovato described Lutes as her “safe space,” marking a joyful milestone in their journey together.
Demi Lovato Opened Up About Her Difficult Teen Years On The Disney Channel
In addition to celebrating her recent marital milestones, Lovato has also reflected deeply on her early years in the entertainment industry. She recently offered a candid look back at the highs and lows of her childhood stardom.
During an appearance on an episode of the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast, she described navigating her teenage years in the public eye as a deeply “challenging” journey.
Lovato noted that entering the network alongside Selena Gomez provided a sense of comfort. However, being thrust into the spotlight brought inevitable moments of self-doubt, as reported by The Blast.
She shared that the industry and media comparisons triggered natural teenage insecurities, but she relied heavily on her mother’s grounding advice that helped her to understand “there’s room for everyone.”
Demi Lovato Clapped Back At The Clone Theories
Lovato’s years in the spotlight seem to have helped her grow more resilient to the ever-present public scrutiny surrounding her.
Addressing a bizarre rumor that has targeted numerous Hollywood figures, Lovato directly called out a TikTok user who alleged she had been replaced by a clone, as reported by The Blast.
While the singer typically ignores wild internet speculation, she spoke up after the creator posted a video using fluctuations in Lovato’s body weight as supposed proof of the replacement.
Lovato left a blunt comment on the post that read, “Girl go outside and leave my weight out of the equation.”
Interestingly, rather than backing down, the content creator doubled down on the interaction by taking a screenshot of the exchange and claiming the star’s focused reply was an admission.
Summary
- Collider’s Steven Weintraub talks with ThrillJoy’s Brian Mariotti, Karissa Marston, and Dolly Ahluwalia-Kallemeyn at SDCC 2026.
- ThrillJoy talks about their business mission, the exclusive prizes for their SDCC fan party, and what to expect for next year!
- They also tease future IP releases, hinting that fans of Tron and Blade Runner won’t be disappointed!
Each year, at the end of July, San Diego becomes a melting pot for pop culture at Comic-Con. Whether it’s movies, TV, video games, and of course, comic books, San Diego Comic-Con is the can’t-miss hub of the year for all fandoms. One of the most lucrative markets at SDCC is the collectible/merchandise world, and a key player at every convention is Thrilljoy, the company behind a specialized line of licensed limited-edition collectible items made with unmatched creative craft, and their products are designed with innovative packaging and intricate details that bring fandom to life.
At SDCC 2026, Thrilljoy’s co-founder and CEO Brian Mariotti, co-founder and CCO Dolly Ahluwalia-Kallemeyn, and Director of Marketing Karissa Marston sat down with Collider’s Steven Weintraub to discuss what’s on the horizon for the company, notably teasing a new line of merchandise from the world of two imaginative science fiction universes: Blade Runner and Tron.
When asked about whether the company planned on any upcoming creations for these two IPs, the trio tried very hard to play coy after Mariotti let slip, “I can tell you that…” before Marston quickly cut him off. “Brian,” she laughed, and then to Weintraub, “I think you’ll be excited.” Mariotti continued, “I’m seeing it in my head, but yes, yes, yes. I get yelled at all the time. Yes, I think you’ll be excited.”
Here’s what Mariotti had to say about the demand for Blade Runner products, and other titles that have been underserved for so long, like Diablo Cody‘s 2024 sleeper hit, Lisa Frankenstein:
“There’s a cult fan base. There’s never been a product that’s ever been made. I watched the movie, I like fashion, I made it. We had four really great articles written about that fandom. That fan base is so rabid, but no one had made anything. Not a T-shirt, not a hat, not a figure.”

Days of Our Lives expects that Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) blasts Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) soon, and it may be because she knows EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) has Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) hidden down in the basement of his family home.
Mind you, EJ doesn’t want Lexie to be there, but it is her deathbed request, so EJ is giving it to her, even though he doesn’t agree. And Cat learned by eavesdropping, but she mostly just cares about her ISA investigation.
Days of our Lives: EJ Thwarts Cat
So, ISA financial analyst Cat has been investigating EJ for about a year now. And recently Cat confronted EJ about seeing him coming out of the secret tunnels. And as his personal assistant, Cat insisted she needs to know what’s going on. But EJ said if she needed to know, he would tell her. So she was thwarted.
Cat and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) have been digging for clues to bring down EJ once and for all. And right now, Rafe is on the way to Alamania to rescue Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) and offer immunity if she’ll testify against her former co-conspirator EJ.
However, Cat is back in Salem still searching for information. And meanwhile, Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) is worried sick about his mom. He told Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Lani Price (Sal Stowers) that he is certain Lexie is not in South Africa visiting her mom, Celeste Perrault (Beverly Todd). Because when Theo tried to call Lexie, the phone didn’t have an international ringtone.
And then Theo called his grandma Celeste and noticed her ringtone was international. And Theo would know since he spent the last several years living and working in South Africa himself. So, he doesn’t know where she is, but he knows Lexie is not with her mom and she is in the US.
So, Lani told Theo that there were no commercial flight records for Lexie and the geolocator on her phone has been turned off. Her driver, the ride share dropped her at the Salem airfield and then poof, Lexie was just gone as far as any of them know.
EJ the Primary Suspect DOOL
So, Johnny, Theo, and Lani started talking about Lexie, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), and Gwen. All missing, all possibly connected. All signs pointing to EJ because he has ties to them all. And no, he wasn’t responsible for Gwen’s disappearance. But yes, he is happy about it.
Her ex, Dmitri von Lochner (Peter Porte), snatched Gwen for payback and to use her as bait for Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart). However, Lonnie is very certain that the sudden disappearances of her bestie Kristen and her sister Lexie are connected. And of course, they are.
Lexie and Kristen tried to swap places so Lexie would wind up on DiMera Island. And then Kristen could run away so she wouldn’t be in EJ’s clutches. And Lonnie knows it’s all suspicious. So, Johnny went to ask EJ what he knows about Lexie’s suspicious trip supposedly to South Africa.
And at the mansion, Cat had been pressing EJ about how she’s willing to do anything for him. She even offered to tuck him into bed since he’s sick. But when Johnny showed up and asked to speak in private, EJ sent her away, asked her to close the doors behind her, but sneaky spy Cat snuck around the corner to the hallway behind the living room to eavesdrop on Johnny and EJ talking about Lexie.
Days of our Lives: EJ Levels with Johnny
And EJ was honest with Johnny. He said before Kristen could be shipped off to the family island, Lexie helped her escape and took her place in the shipping pod. So, Johnny was shocked to learn that his aunt Lexie is dying and has almost no time left. And EJ confided to Johnny that he at least convinced Lexie to come back to the mansion with him instead of running off.
And EJ said she’s down in the tunnel rooms. Of course, EJ’s very upset and told Johnny he didn’t want this for Lexie. And he said he also told Lexie that Theo and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) should know what’s going on. However, EJ also made it clear he promised his sister Lexie he wouldn’t tell Abe and Theo, so he’s not going to. But Johnny said he’s under no obligation to keep a secret he didn’t make.
So, Cat was sneaking, spying, and she heard all of this. She already knew EJ was hiding something down in the tunnels. And Cat also heard EJ admit to Johnny that Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (Richard Wharton) miracle cure wasn’t the cure they hoped it would be. So that should give Cat some perspective on why EJ refused to give Cat the drug for her mom. It’s not good for brain issues, just sepsis apparently, which is still a good thing.
Days of Our Lives: Secrets, Betrayal, and Deathbed Confessions
So now, we’ve got Johnny conflicted because Theo sent him to talk to EJ. And the clincher was Cat also heard EJ saying he was relieved Lexie can’t tell anyone what she knows. And Cat heard Johnny blasting EJ because he said he was starting to think his dad had a soul. I mean, come on, he does. And a heart that’s breaking over losing his sister again.
Later this week, day spoilers say Chad runs into Cat and he asks her for a favor. And this could be Chad flat out asking Cat if his brother EJ has Lexie because this week Chad’s helping Theo search for his mom and Johnny is sitting on the secret. Maybe because he’s also, at least for now, respecting Lexie’s last wish, as EJ said.
But in the summer promo, right after the scene of Lexie on her deathbed at the hospital with EJ, Theo, and Abe, there was a really heated scene between Chad and Cat. They were near the Salem Inn and Chad was blasting Cat, absolutely enraged. Chad’s yelling at Cat that she knew about all this and did nothing.
And she’s pleading with Chad and saying there’s reasons that I haven’t told you everything. So, the reason Cat hasn’t told Chad everything is because she works for the ISA. But he may think that it’s because Cat works for EJ and that’s where her loyalties lie.
Chad had been falling head over heels for Cat, but then Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) and his son Thomas put a stop to it after Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) ran her mouth about the fake Abby thing. So, Chad is happily moving on with Belle Black (Martha Madison).
Cat in a Tough Spot on DOOL
And of course, Cat cannot tell Chad that she’s ISA. Cat even had to get permission to talk about her mission with Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) in that hypno session. And that was even with Doc having prior ISA clearance. So, with Lani and Theo already looking for Lexie and Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) offering to do a wellness check, I suspect that Cat may keep quiet about EJ and Lexie, but somebody’s going to give Chad and Theo a hint because they figure out that Lexie is in the mansion.
Days of Our Lives is going to see Theo barging in there this week to confront Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney). He demands that she get out of his way before Theo makes Rita get out of the way. Then Chad and Theo are down in the tunnels. And that’s when they find Lexie. And then they notify Abe and he also shows up at the DiMera mansion and is down in their room under the tunnels.
Days of our Lives: EJ Going Down
Once the cat’s out of the bag, no pun intended, that’s when Abe and Theo take Lexie to the hospital for her last moments. So, Cat and Rafe are super close to getting the evidence to put EJ behind bars. Gwen’s dead man switch letter that Cat stole from Melinda Trask’s (Tina Huang) office was just what they needed to crack this wide open. But honestly, Cat is fixated on this. She has been breaking laws. She’s been crossing lines to break down EJ. Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) and Rafe have both told Cat that she needs to scale this back, but she’s not doing it. She is desperate to bring EJ to justice.
So, I think it’s going to crush Cat to hear Chad raging at her like that. But the bottom line is I think Cat’s prioritizing her investigation over the well-being of anybody, including Lexie. And Chad’s not going to like that. Even though Cat and Chad can’t date, up till now, Chad still liked and respected Cat. But it looks like that may be over soon because on top of pretending to be Chad’s dead wife, Cat’s pretending to be a lot of things that she isn’t, and it’s about to get messy.
General Hospital delivers serious vibes going on between Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) this week. Some red flags have fans buzzing about whether GH is putting Willow and Michael back together. It would certainly be a blind side. We’re going to talk about these red flags. These hint that Willow and Michael could actually find their way back to each other and become a happy couple again.
General Hospital: Jacinda Horrifies Michael
So, Michael, of course, was horrified when Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) said that she drugged Willow. And in Jacinda’s mind, no big deal because it was just party drug Molly and Willow was supposed to be on the phone making political calls all evening. But when you have kids, plans change.
And of course, Jacinda wouldn’t know that because she’s an ex-prostitute party girl who has no problem popping MDMA and doesn’t have kids of her own. So, Jacinda reassured Michael, “Eh, it’s no big deal. But he’s not a druggie, and he knows Willow isn’t either.”
So, Michael ran off to make sure Willow wasn’t driving. Jacinda assumed as a member of Congress that Willow had a driver, but she doesn’t. And Michael panicked because of the horrible, thoughtless thing that Jacinda did.
Michael thankfully burst into Willow’s place before she drove off with Wy and Amelia. Jacinda drugging that iced coffee of Willow’s left her all giggly. And Michael intervened. He sent the kids off to bed. Then he got Willow some water and he tucked her in on the sofa and she conked out.
But before she fell asleep, there were some major vibes going on with Michael and Willow. And this was almost like a little glimpse of how Michael and Willow used to be when they were together and happy and in love before everything fell apart.
Sparks Fly for Michael & Willow on GH
And she told Michael how good she feels now that she’s divorcing Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) and says that she loves her job. Then Willow said she likes that she and Michael aren’t fighting anymore. And he told Willow he doesn’t want to fight with her either.
Then, the way she was rubbing Michael’s shoulders and they were looking at each other, it seems like there’s still feelings underneath all the animosity and the drama because of he and Willow constantly fighting over custody of the kids.
Not just on Willow’s side, but you could feel it on Michael’s, too. Because when Willow was high, her inhibitions went out the window and she was happy and relaxed. And she also seemed to be truly happy to see Michael. And then Willow said she likes how nice that Michael was and said it’s like he used to be.
So, I wonder if he had a passing thought of like well drugged Willow is much nicer. You know in a twisted world Michael could do to Willow like she just did to Drew and just you know keep her lightly drugged to make her tolerable.
But of course Michael would never do that and that’s not the way a reunion should happen. So, not only did there seem to be some sparks between Willow and Michael, but what Wy said was a red flag. When Michael told the kids they’d have to do the arcade another day, Wylie asked if it could be the four of them with mommy Willow, too.
And Michael said yes, they can do that because they are a family and Willow was all smiles. So, I’m wondering if all of this is foreshadowing and it might mean that a Willow and Michael reunion is possible.
General Hospital: Fans Buzzing Over Millow
Fans are going nuts over it on soap social media and it’s definitely possible. However, I will say based on what happens later this week, Willow’s not going to be back with Michael anytime soon. But this feels like a hint of what’s to come down the road. This week, I expect Michael and Jacinda are over because she drugged Willow and put Michael’s kids in danger.
If he had gotten to Willow’s place 5 minutes later, Willow would have been driving high with their kids in the car. So this week, Jacinda is breaking down in tears and she tells Michael that she will go on one condition. So, it sounds like Jacinda may be leaving town.
Maybe Michael even gives her some sort of relationship severance package so that Jacinda can afford to go back to Australia. I’m sure Michael wants Jacinda out of Port Charles. That way his kids won’t see her hanging around the Metro Court with some of her hooker clients.
And of course, Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove) would be happy if Jacinda stayed. Ezra would probably ask Jacinda to move in with him, but I suspect she will leave town because that’s what Michael wants because what Jacinda did was unforgivable. And that leaves Michael single. We know Willow’s divorcing Drew. So, they’re both going to be single and they’re starting to get along better.
Escalating Conflict and Custody Battles on GH
But things get much worse this week between Willow and Michael because of this. That doesn’t mean they won’t get better later. Willow tells Michael she’s taking the kids. And this comes after someone finds Willow conked out on the sofa. So, I suspect that person and Willow figure out that she was drugged. And since Jacinda was there and alone with their coffees and the other coffee was fine, they may figure it out. Michael told Willow not to drink more of the coffee. And Michael told Willow that he thought she was high. So, they may test that coffee.
I mean, heck, Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) has been helping out. And he does it again this week. So, if they give him the coffee cup, he can fingerprint the lid and drug test what’s inside. And if Willow figures out Jacinda drugged her, she might assume it was some kind of plot that Michael had cooked up. So, this Jacinda stunt could be why Willow is demanding the kids from Michael. But if he explains he didn’t know and that he sent Jacinda away, I don’t think that is going to slow Willow up.
General Hospital: Michael & Willow Need to Compromise
However, Trina and someone approaches Michael this week with info about Drew’s shooting. Thing is, it’s too late for Willow to be criminally prosecuted, but Michael could use it to leverage Willow and threaten her. He could tell her that he’ll go public with it, that it’ll, you know, they’ll take it to the media, it’ll ruin her career.
So, Michael and Willow may have to call a ceasefire. And if Michael agrees to 50/50 custody and they drop the her shooting Drew and Jacinda drugging her, you know, and he won’t date ex-prostitutes and Willow agrees to not have sex with any of his uncles, you know, things could calm down between them on General Hospital.
With Drew and Jacinda out of the middle, Michael and Willow can work on a custody agreement that’s good for everybody. But before there’s a chance for a Michael and Willow proper reunion, there’s another interloper.
I suspect Michael’s going to get tangled up with Serena Baldwin (Kelly Krueger) because she’s trying to seduce Michael to help her mom Lucy with Deception. But eventually, even if Michael does get involved with Serena, he’ll find out that she was just using him, and that should fizzle fast.
Willow Needs to Heal from Her Trauma on GH
And I don’t see other romantic prospects for Willow. She’s busy being a congresswoman and forgetting about Drew. Michael and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) were the first decent relationships that Willow had had. Before that, it was psycho teen raping cult leader Shiloh Archer (Coby Ryan McLaughlin).
And I honestly think Drew was able to get his claws so deep into Willow because of the childhood trauma growing up in Dawn of Day with Harmony Miller (Inga Cadranel) and Shiloh abusing her. So, maybe while Michael’s dealing with Serena, Willow may get some therapy. She needs some.
And then long term, I can definitely see General Hospital pairing Michael and Willow again. You know, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) have split. They’ve hated each other, they’ve reunited. They’ve done that cycle many times. And there’s other couples on the soaps that have gone through the love-hate cycle.
So, I know fans are torn because a lot of fans love Michael and they really hate Willow, but I think mostly they hate that Willow hasn’t paid for any of these bad things she’s done and they really hate her with Drew. But now that’s over. Honestly, I’d like to see a less vindictive, less ruthless version of Willow back with Michael and their kids, and they’re a happy little family. We’ll see if it happens.
In one weekend, Chrisean Rock and Blueface set the internet on fire with their apparent rekindled romance! The on-and-off-again pair went viral for moments with Chrisean Jesus, a controversial comparison of their bond and even a seemingly romantic dance. But when it was time for Blue to say goodbye and head home to his pregnant boo, Nevaeh Akira, Rock couldn’t help but shed tears. By the time the rapper made it home, Akira also had tension for him over his cheating and refusal to claim her while speaking to Rock.

Chrisean Rock Gets Emotional As Weekend With Blueface Ends
As mentioned, Rock and Blueface’s weekend was livestreamed to thousands of their fans. He was seen spending quality time with Chrisean Jesus, whom he has repeatedly claimed is not his son. Even with the sweet moments of feeding the three-year-old and kicking it in bed with him, Blue hasn’t explicitly said whether he’s the child’s dad. Previously, he alleged Chrisean Rock’s late boyfriend, Ronny Doe, was the real daddy.
Rock and Blue also spent time alone! That included sitting in a hot tub, speaking about their “secret marriage,” which reportedly happened in 2024 while he was incarcerated. She also went viral after claiming she and Blue are bigger than Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
Following those moments, they also enjoyed sweet time ballroom and slow dancing inside what appeared to be a living room. They held each other closely, rocking side to side. Then came a moment the internet is still talking about—the beginning of their temporary goodbye. While sitting on a balcony with Chrisean Jesus in Blueface’s lap, Rock said them hanging out feels like Fourth of July. He replied it’s because they’re “lit.” Then, he asked her why she was “acting all sad.” She replied, “Because the weekend over” while getting emotional and saying that time goes fast when she’s with him. Moments later, Blueface wiped her tears away and lightly teased her about being a crybaby, as they exchanged I-love-yous. Swipe below to see that interaction.
Viral Moments From Rapper’s Return Home To Pregnant Girlfriend
Eventually, Blueface dipped out and returned to the home he apparently shares with Nevaeh Akira, whom is less than two weeks away from her reported due date. There’s several clips circulating of Blue’s return. That includes a tense argument about the rapper accidentally injuring her firstborn son, Superior, and later confronting her about being “too soft” with him.

Nevaeh Akira Confronts Blueface Over Not Claiming Her In Conversation With Chrisean
Additionally, one video clip shows Blueface’s apparent indifferent reaction to Nevaeh Akira saying her love for his is lessening. Then, during a heated conversation, Nevaeh confronted Blue for not answering Chrisean Rock’s question about whether he’s still in a relationship with her. She accused him of staying quiet and “acting like a b*tch,” while he responded that Rock is already aware of his situation.
“Then why didn’t you make it known even more,” Akira told him. Why were you acting like a b*tch? ‘Cause it wasn’t giving, it was giving b*tch.”
She then stormed out the room, seemingly to check on her firstborn son. At that point, Blueface told his chat that Nevaeh was “scaring” him, looking at him with “those voodoo eyes.”

While sitting in the same room as the clips shown above, Blueface also shared the expectations he had for Nevaeh when he returned home. He claimed that she should’ve acted “nice” and greeted him with a kiss.
“…Cause all this sh*t? You acting like you ain’t know I was with another b*tch. This the attitude of a b*tch who don’t know her n*gga with another b*tch. That’s not the attitude of a b*tch that know what’s going on. I’m a delusional bitch worst nightmare cause all ima do is look you in the face and tell you the truth…ponder on that.”
BLUEFACE says NEVEAH should’ve GREETED him instead of ACTING like she didn’t know he was CHEATING… but does he REALLY have a POINT? 👀😭 pic.twitter.com/wSuJYE8ExL
— Cora Clips (@CoraClipsX) August 11, 2026
In a separate clip, while at a restaurant, Nevaeh Akira angrily confronted Blueface about stepping to the bathroom to talk to Chrisean Rock. It appears Rock was on live while taking the call from the ‘Thotiana.’
“This sh*t make you feel good or something bro,” Akira asked. “You’re weird…Is the kid yours or not? Is the b*tch yours or not? What the f*ck is going on around this motherf*cker?”
Nevaeh challenged Blueface for going to the bathroom to call Chrisean during their date, she then told him to clarify if he is claiming Chrisean Jr or not
