Heidi Montag Was ‘In Tears’ Before Last Masked Singer Appearance (Excl)

Heidi Montag has done her fair share of reality TV, but she’s dreamed of being on The Masked Singer since it debuted — which made it doubly disappointing when an injury forced her to exit on the earlier side.

“I couldn’t even talk,” Montag, 39, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of her elimination on the Wednesday, February 25, episode. “I had a hemorrhage on my vocal cord that I got during the show, because the helmet is just so heavy and it was so hard, and I was straining my neck trying to lift the head up. And then I was just singing so much and so hard, and so it did strain my voice and then cause the hemorrhage of my vocal cord.”

By the time Spice Girls Night came around, the Hills alum “had been whispering for two weeks straight” at home.

“I couldn’t even talk to my kids in the house. It was really intense off camera, and I was trying to just save my voice,” she recalled. “So, I was definitely in tears before and after, because I have wanted this for so long, and then to have to leave for a vocal injury was just devastating for me at the time. I just felt like I was being robbed of this opportunity I’ve been waiting for so long for … and I know it was magnified because of everything that I’ve been through.”

As Snow Cone, Montag was open about everything she and her husband, Spencer Pratt, have experienced since losing their home last January in the Pacific Palisades fire. In Wednesday’s clue package, she said she realized that “nothing good or bad lasts forever,” but their love will be their “legacy.”

While Pratt, 42, didn’t sing on the show, he did support his wife as Mr. Snow Cone, who silently appeared on stage and in her clue packages. They even reconnected with a producer who worked with them during their original run on The Hills, which made the experience “really fun” for the couple.

“It’s really rare to be part of a show that’s so positive and inspiring,” Montag added. “Usually, my experience from reality TV is they’re out to get you and to exploit you, all these different things. .. It was just a really great experience for me and Spencer to be able to do. It was our first really positive show we’ve done together, and in light of everything that we had just been through, it was a really big blessing for us.”

It was also a blessing for their sons — Gunner, 8, and Ryker, 3 — who are big fans of the show.

“Every time I go to L.A. now, they’re like, ‘Are you going to be Snow Cone? Are you going to your job at Snow Cone?’” Montag said with a laugh. “It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. The kids have never been more excited about anything. It has taken a life of its own in our house. And they love Mr. Snow Cone. They’re obsessed. I’m like, ‘Hello, Mrs. Snow Cone is singing! Mr. Snow Cone is just standing there.’ But they love the whole dynamic.”

While Montag wishes she got to stay on The Masked Singer a bit longer, she was absolutely thrilled to participate in Spice Girls Night (as any millennial woman would be).

“It was the first concert I ever went to. I was 12 years old,” she recalled. “Spice World is everything. I think I’ve seen that movie 1 million times on [VHS] … so I don’t think there could be a bigger Spice Girls fan. Growing up, I loved Baby Spice. She was my favorite. And as an adult, I think it’s Posh. I love Victoria Beckham so much.”

As a singer herself, Montag knows her way around a good pop song — and she promises that her new album will delight fans who are craving more after the release of last year’s Heidiwood.

“I’m really excited about this album,” she told Us of her next LP, titled Masterpiece. “It’s my best album I think I’ve ever done. It is less hyperpop. This is a little more classic, quintessential pop — early 2000s girly pop mixed with a modern twist. I think this will be a great staple for a lot of people. Definitely put it on your workout playlist.”

In the meantime, Montag is just grateful for what she and Pratt still have after losing everything last year. (Pratt announced his campaign for mayor of Los Angeles last month.)

“We still have a lot of challenges that we’re facing,” Montag explained. “It just puts everything in perspective. We could just die tomorrow, or anything could happen, or things that you think you’re planning for the future … like, let’s not plan too far in advance. That’s a big theme in our house now. We’re like, ‘Great, that’s a good outline, but let’s not commit to that, because we don’t know what the future is or where we’ll be.’ It’s definitely been a lot of moving parts, and we’ll continue to just take it day by day.”

The Masked Singer airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Will Smith’s Alleged Friend
Restraining Order Against Jada Pinkett Smith …
Denied!!!

Published

3:00 AM PST

A Los Angeles judge denied a restraining order petition filed against Jada Pinkett Smith by Will Smith’s alleged friend … TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, the case brought by Bilaal Salaam was thrown out of court after Jada and Bilaal both testified.

The judge found Bilaal did not provide enough evidence to be granted a permanent restraining order prohibiting Jada from coming within 100 yards of him. The case was dismissed.

In his earlier paperwork, Bilaal claimed he had been “seriously harmed emotionally and mentally by” Jada’s harassment, saying … “The repeated threats and public false accusations have caused me extreme stress, anxiety humiliation and fear for my safety.”

Bilaal — whose relationship with Will is somewhat disputed in the documents — claimed he had moved out of the country for “almost 2 years out of fear, I have been isolated from my family and support system.”

He added he was still suffering from “sleeplessness, depression, and constant fear that I will be harmed.”

As TMZ first reported, Bilaal filed a $3 million lawsuit against Jada over public comments he made. He claimed Jada came up to him at a private party, threatening him to stop talking about her family.

Bilaal claimed that after he turned down requests, Jada and Will’s circle of friends launched a retaliatory attack on him. The lawsuit remains pending according to court records.

Pete Davidson’s Girlfriend Elsie Hewitt On Why She ‘Hated’ Being Pregnant

GettyImages-2227301299 Why Pete Davidsons Girlfriend Elsie Hewitt Hated Being Pregnant

Pete Davidson’s girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, has opened up about why she “hated being pregnant” before the couple welcomed their daughter, Scottie, in December 2025.

“For the most part, I hated being pregnant. I was deeply uncomfortable,” Hewitt, 29, wrote in an essay for Elle that was published on Wednesday, February 2026. “I was constantly sick, exhausted, and in pain.”

Prior to Scottie’s birth, Hewitt shared with her social media followers in November 2025 that she was “in pain since the very beginning [of her pregnancy] and it [was] just getting worse and worse.” At the time, the model suspected that her struggle with endometriosis — a reproductive condition where tissue grows outside of the uterus — was “heavily linked” to her bout of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. (Hewitt underwent laparoscopic excision surgery shortly before getting pregnant.)

“Because of my prior reproductive health issues, I chose to be under the care of an OB-GYN rather than a midwife,” she wrote in her Elle essay. “It was the most clinical approach to pregnancy and birth — not one I loved — but one I felt I needed for my health and safety.”

She went on, “I found myself in yet another season of frustrating self-advocacy within a medical system that often fails to listen to women as carefully as it should.”

Elsewhere in the essay, Hewitt touched on why she chose not to breastfeed Scottie after giving the option some serious consideration.

“When people asked whether I planned to breastfeed, my thought process was layered,” she recalled. “The most important thing to me was doing what is best for my baby. I will always do what is best for her.”

She acknowledged that breastfeeding is often considered “the gold standard” since it “offers antibodies, unmatched nutrition and powerful bonding,” though there are significant complications that can arise for the mother. Hewitt pointed to the “physical” challenges for a new mom when adjusting to breastfeeding.

One alternative for mothers is feeding their newborn with formula, though Hewitt struggled with the general perception of using formula as “a safe alternative” when “something goes wrong.”

“I was aware, even before pregnancy, of the quiet shame attached to formula feeding,” she wrote. “It took some grappling with that shame, and some exploring of the moral hierarchy around breastfeeding, to affirm that what was best for me and what was best for my baby did not exist on different levels or rankings — they were one and the same.”

In the end, Hewitt felt it was important to consider her own “mental health” and “recovery” before deciding not to breastfeed.

“I feel fortunate not to have felt pressure to breastfeed from the people in my life. My partner didn’t push me in either direction,” she remembered. “My mother, who breastfed my sisters and me and was proud of that, made a point to tell me, simply, that the decision was entirely mine. She never said anything else, and her restraint meant a great deal to me. The OB-GYN and hospital staff didn’t try to persuade me either.”

Former Saturday Night Live star Davidson, 32, and Hewitt shared the happy news on December 18, 2025, that they’d welcomed their first baby.

“Our perfect angel girl arrived 12/12/2025. scottie rose hewitt davidson,” they announced via Instagram at the time.

In that same Instagram post, Hewitt described Scottie as unquestionably her “best work yet.”

“I am absolutely overflowing with love and gratitude and disbelief,” she beamed, with Davidson humorously adding, “Wu tang forever.”

In January, the couple exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly that they were already thinking about having more kids.

“I want her to have a friend, for sure,” Davidson said. “We love the idea of her being a big sister.”

For her part, Hewitt admitted that her urge to have more children so soon after Scottie’s arrival was somewhat surprising.

“I didn’t think I would already think about having another one,” Hewitt told Us. “The idea of that sounds absolutely insane right now. … The process of giving birth is so insane, but so empowering once it happens. Just having this little thing, I really can’t explain how incredible the whole thing is.”

She added, “The idea of making another one and making a sibling is something I’ve already been like, ‘I want to do it again.’ They’re so tiny when they come out, and they grow so fast. It’s crazy.”

Hewitt and Davidson were first linked in March 2025 and announced that they were expecting their first child four months later.

Padres’ Matt Waldron Out Indefinitely After Procedure to ‘Drain’ Hemorrhoids

Published

NewsAdmin

San Diego Padres pitcher Matt Waldron has been benched indefinitely after undergoing a surgical procedure to “drain” his hemorrhoids.

“[Matt] had to have surgery to drain it and make it better,” Padres manager Craig Stammen told reporters on Wednesday, February 25. “So he’s been in the hospital the last couple days.”

Stammen, 41, described Waldron’s recovery as a “week-to-week” situation, meaning that it’s possible that the pitcher could miss Major League Baseball’s opening day on March 25. Waldron was in contention for a starting pitcher spot with the Padres, though it now seems unlikely that he’ll heal fast enough.

His injury was initially described to reporters as “an infection in his rear end,” though the procedure was later clarified to be related to hemorrhoids.

“[His return will be] depending on how that incision heals and how he’s feeling moving around,” Stammen explained during a press briefing.

The San Diego Padres manager insisted that the team’s medical staff would “take care of [Matt] the best we can.”

“Set him up here for the end of spring training, get him going, and then we’ll see where that takes us as the season goes and where his rehab process goes,” Stammen added.

Us Weekly has reached out to the San Diego Padres for comment.

Waldron was previously put out of commission during the preseason in March 2025 when he suffered a left oblique strain while warming up in the bullpen, per MLB.

“It’s very frustrating,” Waldron told reporters at the time. “I don’t want to stop throwing entirely. I’m hoping for that. But I’m going to let them tell me what to do and make the decision.”

Waldron, 29, was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the 18th round of the 2019 MLB draft and sent to train with the rookie-level Arizona League Indians.

In August 2020, Waldron was part of a nine-player trade that also brought pitcher Mike Clevinger to the Padres. (Clevinger, 35, subsequently played with the Chicago White Sox and most recently signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates’ minor league team earlier in February, per the Associated Press.)

Waldron’s last start for the San Diego Padres came in June 2025, when he earned four earned runs in 4.2 innings during the team’s 4-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. He secured two strikeouts in his two innings on the mound during that game.

The Omaha, Nebraska, athlete is one of the few remaining knuckleball pitchers left in Major League Baseball. The pitching technique — which was once incredibly popular — involves throwing the ball with little to no rotation, making it difficult for batters to hit.

Speaking to sports broadcaster Sam Levitt in February 2024, Waldron explained that he uses the knuckleball pitch as “a weapon” to throw off batters.

“I’ll make it as good as it can be,” he said. “It’s another weapon. I would say it’s a good changeup … if you execute it properly. At the end of the day, I think it’s an uncompetitive pitch that I’m trying to compete with.”

The pitcher went on, “I make [the knuckleball] sharp during catchplay, and then I bring it to the mound and see what the hitter does. I’m mixing and competing.”

Waldron noted that the “lack of spin” to the knuckleball is what can make the pitching style “uncompetitive” unless it can be mastered.

“You have to commit to that small [pitching] zone with a pitch with no spin,” he added. “It’s very much uncompetitive in my opinion but you can make adjustments with the way I deliver it. … It’s definitely unpredictable.”

He concluded, “It’s just finding a way around that. I know there’s going to be some bad [pitches], in terms of missing the zone. It’s all about sharpening it.”

Prior to being drafted in 2019, Waldron was a baseball standout at Westside High School and later played for the University of Nebraska’s Cornhuskers for four years.

Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori on the 67th Annual Grammy Awards red carpet

Potential jurors in Kanye West’s ongoing Malibu mansion trial are well aware of his wife’s fashion style and have expressed their disapproval.

West is married to Bianca Censori, who has become known in recent years for her bold and often provocative style, even during public appearances.

Jurors also reportedly took issue with West’s social media behavior, and both he and Censori expected to testify as the case moves forward.

A Juror Called Bianca Censori’s Grammy Outfit ‘Disgusting’

ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA (Edited by The Blast)

During a jury selection hearing for Kanye West’s $57 million Malibu mansion lawsuit against a construction worker, things got a bit personal when they were asked whether “they had formed opinions” about the rapper and his wife, Bianca Censori.

According to the New York Post, the majority of the proposed pool raised their hands to affirm they had, and for Censori, those opinions appeared to center on her fashion choices.

On a number of occasions, Censori has appeared in public wearing a variety of risqué outfits, with some going as far as putting her privates on display.

At last year’s Grammys red carpet, she pushed boundaries even further by dressing nearly naked in a skintight, fully see-through dress, which she had initially covered with a long black fuzzy coat.

The attire was referenced specifically by juror #37, who described it as “disgusting.”

“I saw it on Facebook,” said the individual. “I don’t know if his wife? I didn’t like the way she presented himself. I don’t want to look at it. It’s disgusting!” she stated, before adding she could still remain unbiased during the trial.

The Rapper Was Criticized For His Social Media Antics

As for West, some jurors pointed out that they had issues with his social media antics, which had already garnered him negative traction over the years.

One retired school teacher, who is #45 in the pool, even revealed that his low opinion of West is shared by his relatives.

“I don’t like what he supports. My relatives are very against this guy,” the juror said.

Another juror, who is an IT specialist, pointed out that they had read about his rants on Reddit, which “shifted negatively” their opinion of the rapper.

One more juror, a female, referenced West’s rants against Jewish people, saying that not only did she dislike what he said about them, but the rapper also has a poor understanding of how to approach such issues.

“He simplifies things. This guy doesn’t analyze things properly,” the individual noted.

All About Kanye West’s $57 Million Malibu Mansion Case\

MEGA

For the case, West is being sued by Tony Saxon, a construction worker who worked on the remodeling of the rapper’s $57 million Malibu Mansion years ago.

Originally designed by star architect Tadao Ando for financier Richard Sachs, the 4,000-square-foot home was purchased by Kanye West in 2021 for $57.25 million during his divorce from Kim Kardashian. The rapper has since offloaded it to Bellwood Investment for under half of what he paid.

Now, according to court documents, Saxon claims that West withheld his wages and subjected him to unsafe working conditions during the renovation. He also alleges that he was wrongfully terminated by the rapper.

Saxon is seeking more than a million dollars in damages from the court and is expected to testify at the trial, alongside West and Censori.

The Rapper’s Attorney Refuted Tony Saxon’s Claims About Payment During Opening Statement

On Tuesday, opening statements for the Malibu mansion case were delivered by the lawyers representing both sides.

West’s attorney, Andrew Cherkasky, came out strong to quickly deny Saxon’s allegations about payment, per Rolling Stone.

He claimed that Saxon was well paid for the six weeks of work on the “architectural gem” and that while he was hired for “renovation prep work,” he instead “destroyed the Ando house.”

West’s attorney also dismissed Saxon’s claim that he was forced to live in the building during the renovation, insisting that the decision was entirely his own.

“It was Saxon who set for himself an impossible standard. He wanted to work 24/7. He wanted to camp at the house. He wanted to be the guy in charge,” Cherkasky told the jurors.

The attorney continued, “Ye will tell you he was shocked hearing there was no bathroom there. … Nobody asked [Saxon] to stay there, certainly not overnight.”

Shia LaBeouf
Cops Called To NOLA Home For Alleged Fight Between Exes

Published
February 26, 2026
1:00 AM PST

Cops were called out to Shia LaBeouf‘s New Orleans home a few times prior to his Mardi Gras arrest — including once for an alleged fight between exes that allegedly included a punch below the belt … according to police records obtained by TMZ.

Docs show a call for service at a NOLA home belonging to Shia for an alleged incident in early February between an unnamed man and the man’s ex-girlfriend.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops say the man told police he was inside his home Feb 8. around 11:30 PM showing the place to his girlfriend when he heard a knock at the door and saw his ex-girlfriend entering the home and running toward them.

Police say the man told them he told his GF to run from his ex and he got between the women … and that’s when he claims his ex punched him in the groin area, making him “slump over and grimace due to the pain.”

Cops say the man told them he dated the ex in November but broke the relationship off in December. Police also say the man told them he was not injured during the incident and refused medical services.

TMZ.com

Police say the man was asked five risk questions about domestic violence … and he told them he wasn’t sure if his ex would seriously injure or kill him … he told cops he knew “she was arrested for stabbing someone” in the past. The man also told police the ex threatens him in “every interaction” and that things were only “getting worse.”

The report says an arrest warrant was issued for the ex-girlfriend.

As we first reported … Shia was arrested last week in New Orleans after allegedly punching a bar employee, sparking a brawl before cops arrived. He was later charged with two counts of simple battery.

The arrest came months after Shia’s split from estranged wife Mia Goth. We broke the story … following the breakup, Shia relocated from Los Angeles to New Orleans in December, purchasing a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Uptown cottage for just over $1 million.

TMZ.com

Shia hasn’t been shy about going out in NOLA since the arrest … and we got video of him packing on the PDA with a mystery brunette Saturday night at a bar just off Bourbon Street.

We reached out to Shia’s camp … so far no word back.

Prince William and King Charles at Commemorative event for the 80th anniversary of D-Day

According to a new report, the future king insisted that Andrew shouldn’t have anything to do with the royal family after he gave a disastrous interview in 2019 about Epstein victim, Virginia Giuffre.

Prince William’s prolonged protest against his father’s brother is also said to have “caused huge rows” with King Charles.

Prince William Told King Charles That Andrew Should Be ‘Banished’

James Whatling / MEGA

Prince William told his father, King Charles, that former Prince Andrew should be “banished” after his train wreck interview with the BBC in 2019, royal author Russell Myers revealed.

The interview, which Emily Maitlis hosted, addressed the former Duke of York’s friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and accusations of sexual assault made by Virginia Giuffre.

Andrew refused to show remorse for his friendship with Epstein, nor did he acknowledge the trauma of his victims, causing William to tell his father that he needs to be “banished” and placed far away from the monarchy.

Article continues below advertisement

“William was absolutely adamant after seeing that BBC Newsnight interview with his uncle and the disastrous explanations that he gave for being friends with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,” Myers told Us Weekly. “Refusing to apologize for his relationship and refusing to acknowledge the actual trauma of Epstein victims was an absolute red line for William.”

“He actually said to the late queen and his father [King Charles III], ‘He has to be banished. Andrew has to be rid of both the public and the private royal family,’” the expert added.

The Prince Of Wales Would Have Taken Stricter ‘Measures’ Against His Uncle If He Were King

ZUMAPRESS.com / MEGA

Myers, the author of “William and Catherine: The Monarchy’s New Era: The Inside Story,” went further to share that the monarchy has been grappling with the bad rep Andrew has given it.

However, William understands he really can’t do much to turn things around.

Following the recent release of more Epstein files, Andrew raised eyebrows as he was pictured in several compromising positions.

After that, law enforcement arrested him on suspicion that he shared sensitive information with Epstein during his time as part of the U.K. trade envoy.

He had previously been accused of sexual assault by Virginia Giuffre, which he denied, but later reached an out-of-court settlement with her.

Considering this, the royal author, Myers, noted that William would have done more to prevent this if he were king, but understands the situation of things and is focused on supporting his father, King Charles.

“The Andrew scandal has been a stain on the royal family,” Myers shared. “William [if he were king] would have taken certain measures to have Andrew completely out of the picture. William understands that his father needs to take the lead on this, and he’s willing to support him in any way he can.”

Prince William And Kate Middleton Are ‘Deeply Concerned’

James Whatling / MEGA

However, the future king isn’t just folding his hands and has since taken a public stand with the victims.

He and his wife Kate Middleton shared a statement in a bid to distance themselves from Andrew, saying they were “deeply concerned” following the latest batch of documents linked to the Epstein investigation.

“I can confirm that the Prince and Princess of Wales have been deeply concerned by the continued revelations,” the palace said in a statement. “Their thoughts remain focused on the victims.”

Myers seemingly suggested that the couple is laying a precedent and fighting for their future.

“We’ve already heard from both William and [Princess Kate Middleton] saying how deeply concerned they were, and they are, of course, because this is their future on the line as well,” he shared.

The Future King’s Stand Has ‘Caused Huge Rows’ With His Father, King Charles

MEGA

It appears William’s prolonged protest against his disgraced uncle caused a strain with his father, King Charles.

According to Fox News Digital, royal expert Ian Pelham Turner acknowledged that the future king has remained adamant about his uncle’s banishment since 2019, and it has “caused huge rows with his father.”

“In reality, William has been ferociously driving the total banishment of Andrew since 2019, after the ‘Newsnight’ car crash interview. This has caused huge rows with his father,” Turner said.

Prince William ‘Will Take The Lead In Due Course’

British photographer Helena Chard also echoed the same claim that William has long been against Andrew, but may have to wait till he ascends the throne before he can “work his magic.”

“For years, Prince William, behind the scenes, has been pushing his father to sort the Andrew problem once and for all… He is not slow in coming forward and very much reads the room of the general public and younger generation,” Chard explained.

She added, “His father, King Charles, is head of state and as such holds the lead baton. Prince William will take lead role in due course, and at this time, he will further work his magic.”
