Patrick Clancy opened up about how he dealt with trauma after his ex-wife, Lindsay Clancy, killed their three kids in January 2023, revealing that one “miracle” treatment helped him “the most.”

In an extended clip from his Sunday, September 20, interview on 60 Minutes, Patrick, 36, said that he used EMDR to face the murder of his kids “head on.”

EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a psychotherapy treatment designed to help people heal from the emotional distress and symptoms from traumatic events.

“It’s unpleasant but they get you used to dealing with that,” Patrick said. “And, eventually, you’re better at processing it … After I did it — all of those sessions — the waking up screaming, the horrible dreams, they mostly stopped. I mean, it was like a miracle.”

Patrick went on to say that the “traumatic” memories from the event were “overwhelming.”

“I think the thing that helped the most was EMDR,” he said. “It’s a little unusual. They put you right back in that place that you’ve been trying to avoid for years and you face it head-on.”

The interview marked the first time Patrick has publicly spoken about the murders after Lindsay’s case was declared a mistrial on September 4. She was on trial for nearly seven weeks after she killed their kids Cora, 5. Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at their Duxbury, Massachusetts, home on January 24, 2023.

While Lindsay, 36, never denied killing her kids, her defense team argued that she should not be held criminally responsible for the murders due to her struggles with postpartum psychosis. Meanwhile, the prosecution argued she was aware of what she was doing when she killed her kids.

Following extensive testimony from psychologists and investigators, the jury deadlocked 11-1 when they were unable to come to a unanimous verdict. The prosecution has not yet announced whether they plan to bring the case back to trial.

Patrick shared many details about the harrowing experience on 60 Minutes, including the wish he made shortly after Lindsay strangled their kids.

“So, I didn’t have all the details of Callan’s condition,” Patrick said of the former couple’s youngest child, who survived for a few days after the attacks. “I just knew that they got a heartbeat back. So I remember … that night, I … really thought there was a chance that Callan would live. And I remember just thinking, ‘Just gimme one. Just gimme one kid, and I would raise him as best I could, and I would give him the best life I possibly could. I’d tell him about his brother and sister.’”

Zara Larsson is channeling her inner space babe.

Larsson, 33, took to Instagram on Tuesday, September 22, to show off her bikini body in a tiny swimsuit. Her shimmery purple bikini featured itty-bitty cups and halter straps that she tied behind her neck. She styled the look with string bottoms that had bows on her hips. The singer made her look even hotter with temporary silver kiss, star and flower tattoos all over her body. She further accessorized with statement yellow earrings.

Her glam was just as noteworthy as her swimsuit. Larsson’s makeup featured long lashes, contoured cheeks and pink lips. Her platinum blonde hair, which cascaded down to her waist, was parted down the middle and styled in beachy waves.

Larsson stood in the center of sand, which was strategically formed to create a ripple effect around her.

“👽,” Larsson captioned the post. Her fans praised her in the comments section.

“She’s literally OUT OF THIS WORLD 👽,” one gushed. A second complimented her, writing, “She landed and immediately served.” A third added, “BODY WAS SCULPTED FROM THE GODS.”

This isn’t the first time Larsson has shown off her bikini body. Earlier this month, she rocked a bubblegum pink bikini featuring triangle cups and a silver hoop between her chest. The design was complete with razor-thin straps. Larsson teamed the style with a white towel, which she tied around her waist, a blue feather in her hair and neon pink nails.

While performing, Larsson often hits the stage in bra tops, low rise shorts and more ensembles that put her toned abs on display. In August, she sparkled in a bedazzled floral top and sequin shorts complete with the same colorful embellishments. She added even more spunk to her look with neon bangles, hoop earrings and rhinestone makeup.

An elderly man in Maryland has been arrested after he allegedly confessed to his pastor that he killed his roommate following an argument over an electrical outlet.

Irwin Joseph Dickstein was taken into custody on Sunday, September 20, and was charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder in the death of his roommate, Michael Roy Bushnell.

The Frederick Police Department announced in a press release that they became aware of the case on September 20 when deputies with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office contacted police after they received a tip regarding a possible murder.

“Dickstein had reportedly told a witness that he shot his roommate,” the release stated. “Dickstein also provided the location where the incident allegedly occurred.”

A woman in Florida was arrested after she confessed to killing her roommate in a rural Charlotte County neighborhood, according to police. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said that 76-year-old Paul De Wayne Bradley was found dead on the evening of Sunday, March 8, at his home on Gewant Boulevard in the Charlotte Ranchettes, according […]

Officers then responded to the address to conduct a welfare check.

Upon their arrival, police found that the residence was not secured and they entered the home. They found Bushnell, 63, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

Dickstein, 87, was later found at another location, and authorities took him into custody without incident.

According to an affidavit viewed by WJLA, the roommates experienced several disputes over electrical work at their shared home. Bushnell reportedly told a neighbor that Dickstein was upset with him after he turned off the power while trying to repair an outlet.

The neighbor spoke to investigators and said that he heard the two men arguing before several loud bangs came from the home around 5:30 a.m.

Dickstein went to Frederick Christian Fellowship Church later that morning, where he allegedly told a pastor that he had killed someone. The pastor then contacted police around 10:30 a.m. and he called authorities to report the murder.

Following his arrest, Dickstein allegedly admitted to the murder while speaking to detectives. He identified Bushnell as the victim and confirmed he was inside the Franklin Street residence at the time of the shooting. Following the admission, Dickstein refused to speak any further without a lawyer.

One of the biggest romantic comedies of the late 2010s has made a streaming resurgence years after its release. This feature became a phenomenon, inspiring actors who had quit acting to return to the industry, and it played a huge role in representation. Not to mention, it’s still being watched to this day, albeit through a unique medium.

The film is Crazy Rich Asians, directed by Jon M. Chu and based on Kevin Kwan’s novel of the same name. The 2018 feature stars Constance Wu and Henry Golding, along with other major names of Asian descent, including Awkwafina, Ken Jeong, Michelle Yeoh, Ronny Chieng, and Harry Shum Jr., to name a few. While Crazy Rich Asians didn’t receive any Academy Award nominations, it still had a major impact on Hollywood, inspiring Ke Huy Quan to return to acting with Everything Everywhere All at Once and sparking a wave of projects that showcased positive representation of Asian cultures.

Recently, Crazy Rich Asians made a comeback on streaming, landing at #10 on Netflix’s Top 10 Movies chart worldwide, sitting underneath The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. For those who haven’t seen it, Crazy Rich Asians follows Rachel Chu (Wu), who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend, Nick Young (Golding), as he attends his best friend’s wedding. She doesn’t realize that her boyfriend’s family is extremely wealthy and that his mother, Eleanor (Yeoh), doesn’t approve of their relationship. Since its release, Crazy Rich Asians has been highly praised, earning a 91% Certified Fresh Critics Score and a 78% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. It also made well beyond its reported $30 million budget, earning $293 million worldwide. At the moment, it has been confirmed that Crazy Rich Asians will receive a follow-up as a TV series, but updates have been scarce lately.

How ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ Became One of the Best Airplane Movies

Crazy Rich Asians has become a streaming hit, and it’s also been considered one of the best “airplane movies,” referring to titles passengers watch during flights through a plane’s in-flight entertainment system. Some reasons include that the feature follows a trip to another country, which passengers can relate to, and that it’s easy to watch because it lacks violence or heavily sexualized scenes, making it comfortable to watch while sitting next to strangers. Other features that people have considered to be great airplane films include The Martian, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.

Crazy Rich Asians is available to rent digitally on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Spectrum. Follow Collider for more updates.

Drama is brewing within the MomTok community and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast as the Hulu reality show undergoes a major shakeup.

“It is a mess between the girls behind the scenes, and everyone has really turned their backs against Taylor Frankie Paul,” a source exclusively shares with Us. “Taylor has not been in a good place mentally and does not have many people who are supporting her publicly, which is hard.”

Although Jessi Draper has publicly supported her costar and friend, the insider says “almost all of the girls agree that Taylor is a ticking time bomb and ultimately can’t trust her.”

“They are over her,” the source explains, “and don’t want to deal with it anymore.”

Although Hulu has not confirmed any casting decisions for upcoming seasons, Mikayla Mathews previously announced that she would not be returning to the reality show and said she would be donating the money she would have earned for the rest of season 6 to the National Children’s Alliance.

According to a source, many of the girls, including Layla Taylor and Mayci Neeley, are unsure if they will continue for future seasons.

“Everything is up in the air,” the source shares. “It is renewed, but producers are very unclear about how the show will proceed.”

On Monday, September 21, Taylor, 32, seemingly confirmed her exit from the show in a social media post.

“My gratitude goes to all the networks that supported me throughout this and gave me the chance to return. However, I don’t desire to move forward like this,” she wrote via Instagram. “It’s a pleasure to remove myself so they can continue, because I’ve almost convinced myself I’m deserving of all this pain and to a certain degree absolutely this is consequences of my actions. My question has been how much suffering and scrutiny is going to be enough…I’m just relieved to be out.”

While one source says it was a decision made by the network that Taylor agreed “was for the best,” another insider denies producers pushed the reality star out.

As the second insider shares, “Everyone wants what is best for Taylor and her health.”

Us has reached out to Hulu and Taylor’s rep for comment.

The SLOMW returned for its long-awaited fifth season on September 10 after production was paused earlier this year amid legal issues involving Taylor and her ex Dakota Mortensen.

Taylor previously expressed her disappointment at some cast members not supporting her on or off camera.

“I originally was willing to be removed to let them all continue on with less stress and I’m back to that point,” she wrote via Instagram. “Some of the girls know what I’ve been through and then to turn and collectively pile on with their ‘statements’ knowing there has been ongoing abuse through the system the last 8 months on top of what I’ve endured. Almost the entire cast plus some, going at me….laughing about my kids is disgusting.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is streaming now on Hulu.

Singer Hayley Williams is paying tribute to her ex-husband Chad Gilbert. The Paramore frontwoman took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, September 23, to share her condolences for the New Found Glory musician’s passing. The band’s guitarist and co-founder passed away on Sunday, September 20, at age 45 after a years-long cancer battle.

Hayley Williams Pays Tribute To The ‘Legend’ Chad Gilbert

On September 23, the “Simmer” singer took to her Instagram Stories in order to pay tribute to her ex-husband. They began dating in 2008 and became engaged in 2014. They married in February 2016 after nearly eight years together, but announced their split in 2017. The divorce was finalized later that year.

“Have not known what to say or if it’s appropriate,” she wrote. “But I feel sure now that I want to bc life is made of the paths we cross and the reasons we cross them are infinite.”

“Chad is indeed a legend in the scene and my time connected to him taught me a lot. He introduced me to people that continue to shape my life in beautiful ways, and to music and culture that has made life a lot richer,” she continued.

‘There Isn’t Much That Hasn’t Already Been Said’

The “Misery Business” singer went on to say that “there isn’t much that hasn’t already been said about what he contributed to the musical world a lot of us grew up in.”

“His influence and attitude guided the genre forward. His passion for fostering the community was inspiring and sticks with me,” she added. “I will forever be grateful that from him I gained a deeper understanding and a reverence for the community and the culture of hardcore.”

She ended the post by writing, “Sending love and my sympathies to his family, NFG fam, and all his friends.”

Chad Gilbert Passed Away On September 20

Chad Gilbert’s death was announced on September 20, the day he died, by his wife, Lisa Cimorelli. In a lengthy Instagram post, the band wrote, “On the morning of September 20th, Chad Everett Gilbert passed away peacefully in his sleep. He left this world surrounded by friends and family and took his final breaths with his wife and mother by his side, just as he wished. We are devastated and shocked by how quickly he left us, yet so grateful for how peacefully and smoothly he went.”

“The amount of visitors that crowded the hospital lobby at a moment’s notice is a testament to how beloved and cherished Chad was, and always will be,” he continued. “He was a legendary musician, but his favorite accomplishment was being a husband and father. His biggest dreams came true. He is survived by his wife, Lisa, his daughter, Lily, his mother, Jackie, and his brother, Brian.”

Chad Gilbert Leaves Behind A Wife and A Daughter

The band continued: “Chad’s guitar playing, songwriting, humor, and relentless drive helped shape New Found Glory for nearly three decades. Through more than a dozen albums, endless tours around the world, and more accolades than we ever could have imagined, Chad challenged all of us to grow as musicians, performers, and human beings.”

“While we are devastated to lose him, we are so grateful for the incredible life he lived, the memories we shared, and the brotherhood we had,” they concluded. “His influence will always be part of New Found Glory and his spirit will be felt on every stage we stand on, with every note we play.”

‘We Lost One of the Greats Today’

Many fans and famous friends took to the comments to pay their condolences.

Kellin Quinn Bostwick, the lead vocalist of the rock band Sleeping with Sirens, wrote, “I’m so so sorry for your loss guys! Glad I got to speak to Chad before he passed and thank him for his contribution to music! Your band helped me get into this scene! It brought me and my friends together. Wouldn’t be here without you. Rest in paradise my friend! Your fight, your kindness, your light! Thank you for all of it.”

Drummer Cyrus Bolooki added, “We lost one of the greats today. 30 years of doing this together and a lifetime of memories made in that time. Thankful for everything that we experienced together and forever grateful to have Chad in my life.”

Yesterday was Hobbit Day, and fans of J.R.R. Tolkien‘s work had plenty to celebrate on the momentous holiday. The Lord of the Rings is full of life more than ever at the moment, across television, the silver screen, and beyond. In less than two months, Prime Video’s prequel series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, will return with the first four episodes of its third season on November 11, bringing war to Mordor once more and introducing Jamie Campbell Bower to Middle-earth as Celeborn. Former The Late Show host and Tolkien superfan Stephen Colbert is also preparing his own cinematic journey into Mordor in collaboration with Philippa Boyens and Peter McGee, covering the eighth chapter in The Fellowship of the Ring, Fog on the Barrow-downs. There’s even a new Middle-earth-set game from Kingdom Come developers Warhorse Studios in early development.

However, most eyes are set on the horizon of December 17, 2027, when The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum will ride into theaters. Production began in the franchise’s picturesque longtime home of New Zealand back in July with director and star Andy Serkis seamlessly slipping back into the rasping tones of the titular wretched creature. Set between Peter Jackson‘s The Hobbit and original Lord of the Rings trilogy, it explores the perspective of Gollum, as Gandalf, played by a returning Ian McKellen, sends the ranger Strider, aka Aragorn, now embodied by Jamie Dornan, out in search of the creature to stop him before he can reveal the ring’s location to Sauron’s forces. A lot of buzz has surrounded the return of many of Jackson’s original stars, and now, Warner Bros. is puilling back the curtain on the effort to bring Middle-earth back to life.

In accordance with Hobbit Day, the studio unveiled a collection of set photos from The Hunt for Gollum on its official TikTok page. Included among the set is a first look at Elijah Wood‘s return to The Shire as Frodo Baggins, though he’s only shown from behind. That’s probably intentional, given much of the cast will use de-aging technology to appear as they did in the original, but he does look accurate for what is shown of him. Otherwise, the rest of the images are a nostalgic look at the idyllic Shire, showing off the gorgeous, green-laden landscape and actors dressed once more for Middle-earth, while Serkis mans the camera.

Kanye West is asking a judge to postpone his upcoming civil trial, pointing to unfinished legal preparation, planned concerts in Russia, and Milo Yiannopoulos‘ deportation from the United States. The rapper, who legally changed his name to Ye, is currently scheduled to face trial on October 12 in a discrimination lawsuit filed by former Donda Academy security guard Benjamin Provo. Ye wants the proceedings moved to May 17, 2027, or another date that works for the court and both parties. The judge has not yet approved the requested delay.

Kanye West Wants More Time To Prepare For Trial

5

According to TMZ, Ye’s attorneys filed court documents last week detailing why they believe the October trial should be postponed. The legal team claims significant preparation remains unfinished because Provo and his attorney have not been cooperative during depositions and the document discovery process.

Ye’s lawyers further allege that Provo’s side has repeatedly delayed pretrial matters, leaving too much work to complete before the current start date.

In addition to requesting a continuance, Ye is seeking sanctions against Provo and his lawyer. Sanctions can include financial penalties or other court-ordered consequences, but Ye must first persuade the judge that the opposing side violated discovery rules or otherwise interfered with the case.

The filing does not automatically change the trial date. Unless the judge grants the motion, the October 12 date remains in place.

Benjamin Provo Accuses Ye Of Workplace Discrimination

5

Provo filed his lawsuit in April 2024 after working as a security guard at Donda Academy and other facilities connected to Ye. According to the complaint, Provo began working for Ye’s organization in August 2021. He alleges that Ye and members of the rapper’s management team treated Black employees less favorably than their White colleagues.

Provo further claims that his pay was reduced after he raised concerns about wage disparities. He also alleges that Ye demanded that he cut his dreadlocks despite the hairstyle being connected to his Muslim faith. The former security guard claims he was ultimately fired after refusing to remove his dreadlocks.

More recent court documents reportedly show Provo seeking approximately $23 million in damages. Ye has argued that Provo was employed by a third-party company rather than directly by him, according to TMZ.

Ye’s Reported Russia Concerts Face Venue Uncertainty

5

Ye is also arguing that the October 12 trial date conflicts with his performance schedule. The rapper says he is expected to travel to Russia for concerts planned for October 10 and 11, placing the performances immediately before the trial is scheduled to begin. However, the status of the shows remains unclear.

St. Petersburg’s Gazprom Arena was initially announced as the venue, but the stadium later said it would not host Ye on those dates. The venue also maintained that it had not signed a rental agreement for the concerts.

Moscow-based promoter Say Agency disputed the suggestion that the performances had been canceled and claimed the arena had initially approved the events. The promoter indicated it was searching for another venue, but no replacement location had been publicly confirmed.

Milo Yiannopoulos’ Deportation Is Raised In The Motion

5

Yiannopoulos’ immigration situation has also become part of Ye’s request for additional time. Ye’s attorneys identified his former chief of staff as one of the people most knowledgeable about the allegations in Provo’s lawsuit. The filing notes that Immigration and Customs Enforcement “very recently and very publicly deported” him.

Yiannopoulos was detained at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in August before being returned to the United Kingdom. The Department of Homeland Security said Yiannopoulos entered the United States legally in May 2019 but remained in the country beyond his authorized stay.

An immigration judge issued a final removal order on July 22 after he failed to attend an immigration hearing, according to DHS. Yiannopoulos was arrested the following month and deported one day later.

Yiannopoulos had previously claimed he was living in the United States under an O-1 nonimmigrant visa. That classification is generally available to people who demonstrate extraordinary ability or achievement in fields including business, education, science, athletics and the arts.

His return to the United Kingdom could complicate deposition scheduling, communication with attorneys, or an eventual trial appearance. However, the court will decide whether his location creates a serious enough obstacle to justify postponing the case for approximately seven months.

Ye Reportedly Distanced Himself From His Former Chief Of Staff

5

The trial motion comes amid reports that Ye’s relationship with Yiannopoulos has deteriorated. Yiannopoulos previously occupied a powerful position in Ye’s organization as his chief of staff. He was also involved in the rapper’s political activities and occasionally handled media requests.

Following the deportation, a source claimed Ye “does not want to be involved with Milo anymore.” The insider also alleged that Ye asked Yiannopoulos to move out of one of his properties.

The reported breakdown emerged as Ye prepared for a performance at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. According to the source, the rapper had “no idea why Milo was coming to the concert.”

The insider further alleged that Yiannopoulos had not been trusted within Ye’s circle for some time. Yiannopoulos reportedly described himself as Ye’s publicist, although the title was allegedly never formally given to him.

The judge must now determine whether the remaining discovery work, Ye’s proposed Russia performances, and Yiannopoulos’ deportation justify moving the trial to May 17, 2027. The court will also rule separately on Ye’s request for sanctions against Provo and his attorney.
