Authorities Release New Details Surrounding Nathan’s Case
According to the Milton Police Department, Nathan Smith, the 27-year-old son of Lil Jon, was reported missing on Tuesday, February 3. Police say Nathan was last seen around 6 a.m. that morning in the area of Baldwin Drive and Mayfield Road in Milton, Georgia.
In a statement shared by officials, police revealed: “Subject ran out of his house and has been missing since. Subject left on foot and does not possess a phone. He may be disoriented and in need of assistance. Family and friends are concerned for his safety.” Law enforcement urged anyone with information to contact the Milton Police Department or reach out directly to Detective Sarah Moore via email.
Lil Jon & Family Request Privacy Amid Support
Nathan is described as standing 5’9”, weighing approximately 150 pounds, with brown eyes and short black hair. As concern continues to grow, a representative for Lil Jon shared a brief statement requesting privacy for the family during this time and also asked for continued prayers for Nathan’s safe return.
Nathan, known professionally as DJ Young Slade, is a rising DJ and musician carving out his own lane in the music industry. He released his most recent single, ‘Feels,’ in March 2025 and has spoken about navigating life as the son of a major hip-hop figure while building his own career. Nathan was last active on Instagram on January 6, where he shared a photo alongside his manager Lil Will and rapper Bow Wow at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena.
Fans Revisit Nathan’s Words Amid Ongoing Concern
The situation has also drawn renewed attention to Nathan’s appearance on MTV’s ‘Family Legacy’ last year, where he opened up about growing up with Lil Jon as his father. In past interviews, Nathan expressed gratitude for the foundation his dad laid, while emphasizing his desire to make his own mark in music.
Furthermore, Lil Jon shares Nathan with his estranged wife, Nicole Smith. The former couple married in 2004 and announced their amicable split in early 2024, after separating nearly two years earlier. As the family waits for answers, supporters across social media continue to rally around them, sending love and hoping for Nathan’s safe return.
Fans Send Prayers To Lil Jon Amid Online Reactions
Shortly after the news broke, fans immediately flooded TSR’s Instagram comment section with reactions. While some raised questions as they tried to process the situation, countless prayer emojis filled the comments as others shared messages of hope to Lil Jon’s family. Many also took the moment to emphasize that mental health is real, urging people to lead with compassion and kindness no matter the circumstances.
One Instagram user @shaniceonline said, “🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽”
This Instagram user @__hot.__.girl__ added, “Grown men don’t just go missing , praying for a safe return 🙏🏾”
And, Instagram user @burgzctx commented, “Everyone going through it , I hope he good 🙏🏾”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @ericasbadd shared, “Mental health is real PLEASE BE KIND…”
While Instagram user @cashmase said, “As a parent, no matter the age, this will always be the worst nightmare…“
Finally, Instagram user @paulaa__1992 wrote, “I’m glad they’re taking this seriously early! Most missing people don’t have this chance. I hope they find him 🙏🏽”

‘Mob Wives’ Reboot In The Works Without One OG Cast Member
It took ten years for VH1’s “Mob Wives” series to spark reboot rumors, but one OG cast member isn’t interested!
The show, which spawned several spin-offs, followed the lives of several women with ties to the Italian-American Mafia.
“Mob Wives” ran for six seasons, featuring stars like Renee Graziano, Drita D’Avanzo, and the late Angela Raiola, who died of cancer complications in 2016.

‘Mob Wives’ Reboot Won’t Feature One Of Its Breakout Stars
According to new reports, the popularity of the “mob wife aesthetic” trend has networks gearing up to reboot the VH1 show. Sources confirmed that Renee Graziano is set to star in the new show, while other OG cast members may make guest appearances.
The cast lineup hasn’t been confirmed; however, Renee’s former pal and co-star, Drita D’Avanzo, is sure Renee won’t be participating in a reboot of “Mob Wives.” She shared her disinterest with TMZ, explaining that she had her hands full with other projects, like “House of Villains” season 3.

Drita D’Avanzo implied that she was booked and busy, with no time to spare for the reboot, adding that she was working on a scripted show. As for the VH1 show’s reboot, Renee’s sister, producer Jennifer Graziano, noted that things were still falling into place, and a production date hasn’t been confirmed.

Renee Graziano Slams’ Members Only: Palm Beach’ Show Comparison

Before the reboot update, Renee shut down comparisons between “Members Only: Palm Beach” and “Mob Wives.” The outlet reported that she argued there were no similarities between her OG series and the rising show, since none of the women involved had ties to the mob.
Renee’s words proved that she still had a deep love for the VH1 show, with her recent project still centered around the mob. The show “Married by the Mob” will feature an immersive dining experience in which guests pretend to be at a mob wedding.
The upcoming show, which is a collaborative effort between the Graziano sisters, comes nearly three years after Renee experienced a near-fatal overdose. At the time, her former pal addressed the incident in an interview, revealing there was still bad blood between them.

Drita D’Avanzo Remained Unmoving In Her Dislike For Her Former Pal
While speaking to Us Weekly in March 2024, D’Avanzo addressed Renee’s near-fatal overdose. The incident occurred in September 2023, prompting the reality TV star to seek help in overcoming her addiction.
“I don’t like her. However, in capitals, I wish her to find health and peace of mind and don’t wish nothing bad on her,” D’Avanzo said. Although she remained unmoving in her dislike for Renee, she believed the latter deserved all the support she could get.
As for why her reaction to Renee’s situation came late, D’Avanzo confessed that she wasn’t aware of the near-fatal overdose until the interview. She explained that she and Renee hadn’t been in touch since the VH1 series ended, adding, “Do I like the motherf-cker? Hell no.”

The Reality TV Star Reflected On The Life-Threatening Incident
D’Avanzo’s reaction to Renee’s near-fatal overdose followed the latter’s recollection about the terrifying incident. She opened up about what happened on a March 2024 episode of Bunnie XO’s “Dumb Blonde” podcast, claiming she actually died.
According to Renee, she “couldn’t come up for air” after accidentally overdosing on fentanyl. “I just lost, like, my sh–t, man,” she continued, explaining that the dealer had given her fentanyl on September 18, 2023, instead of the undisclosed drug she wanted.
“I died in a restaurant in Florida. I was dead, intubated for three days. No one in my family came to the hospital,” Renee recalled. She added that she “spent nine days” at the hospital learning to walk again and that she decided to get clean.
Renee Graziano Entered Rehab After Near-Fatal Overdose

Months before Renee reflected on her accidental fentanyl overdose, The Blast reported in November 2023 that her manager, Chris Giovanni, revealed she had entered a rehabilitation program to overcome her addiction.
Giovanni explained that he learned about the near-fatal overdose after Renee called him from the rehab facility. He noted that their communications had been sporadic and brief since September 2023 until she contacted him to share her struggles.
As for what triggered the incident, Giovanni explained that Renee had turned to drugs to escape the grief of losing her father in 2019. She first sparked concern in January 2022 when she was arrested for driving while impaired and crashing her car into a parked SUV.

Druski & Sky Bri Fuel Dating Rumors With Cozy Courtside Link Up
Whew, Roommates! The internet has some thoughts about how Druski chose to kick off Black History Month. Videos popped up showing him sitting courtside at a recent Knicks game with OnlyFans model Sky Bri. Then photos surfaced of the two cheesing together, and now fans can’t help but ask, “What’s tea?”

Is Sky Bri Druski’s Lil’ Yeah, Yeah?
Folks online have their eyes on Druski, wondering if a new bae just entered the chat. The comedian popped out with OnlyFans model Sky Bri, and they looked a lil’ cozy. Videos caught them sitting next to Spike Lee at a New York Knicks game, then photos showed them posing together, giving very much date night vibes. As of now, neither Druski or Sky has spoken on their status, but social media swears a baewatch might be brewing. But still a few internet detectives think their lil’ pop out could also be a skit stunt, with some folks betting Druski’s about to drop a video any minute now.
Social Media Jumps In With Side-Eyes, Jokes, & HOT Takes
After The Shade Room dropped the video and photos of Druski and Sky Bri, the comment section went OFF. Some folks said they think Druski was just trolling. Others gave him props, calling Bri a baddie and saying they actually think they make a good match.

From Rubi Rose To Sky Bri — The Tea On Druski’s Past Relationship
Before the internet had their eyes on Sky Bri, they were watching Rubi Rose heavy after her and Druski officially hard launched their relationship in April 2024. Videos and photos showed them on romantic yacht dates, tropical baecations, and even enjoying home cooked meals. But what fans thought would last didn’t — they called it quits in July 2024. Since then, they’ve been throwing lil’ jabs at each other online. Rubi ended up airing out their relationship on X (formerly Twitter) in September 2024, basically saying it was all a PR stunt, but Druski clapped back writing, “Never needed no PR” along with a laughing emoji.
As for where they stand now? Rubi made it clear she doesn’t want that old thang back. She told Kai Cenat and Kevin Hart during a stream with Druski in October 2025 that she didn’t miss him, but Dru think she only said that because she knew they were live.

Days of our Lives Early Spoilers Feb 9-13: Philip Delivers Stunning News & Cat Makes Power Play
Days of Our Lives spoilers for February 9th – 13th reveal Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) stuns somebody and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) is making a really big move.
As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we’ll dive into what is coming next week.
Phillip Stuns Gabi on Days of Our Lives
On Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) absolutely stunned by Philip Kiriakis. He may have a big romantic surprise up his sleeve. But will Gabi ever admit how she spied on Titan for Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis)? Or is Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) going to drop that bomb to mess things up since he’s crushing on her?
Over in Alamainia, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) get new info. Rafe found that tablet in Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel)’s house in Alamainia, and Eli and Rafe are going to grill Vivian. I suspect she might have meant for them to find it because it wasn’t well hidden, and she knew they were going to search. She seemed unconcerned about them searching, so she’s going to tell Eli and Rafe a very convincing story about that.
Vivian Targets Dimitri on DOOL
Vivian may be throwing Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) under the bus as part of her scheme with Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) to take him down because, as we know, Vivian Alamain hates the von Leuschners and Gwen, in particular, hates Dimitri.
Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) tells Abe Carver (James Reynolds) that he is so sorry. He had no idea that Theo was going to be kidnapped. Liam, according to him, thought he was prepping that crypt for some kind of doomsday crisis, like a bomb shelter, by stocking up on food and water. I’m not sure Liam Selejko’s telling the whole truth, though.
Gabi Hernandez Mourns Stefan DiMera and Drama at Bayview
On Thursday, February 5th, we’ve got Rafe and Arianna Hernandez Horton (Marissa Reyes) comforting Gabi. It looks like Rafe and Eli leave Alamainia convinced that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) really is dead. If they tested the remains, it looks like they got a DNA match.
Of course, Gabi told Philip that she was over Stefan, but being confronted with the truth of his death is going to be something else because that was her guy. That was her person, and they really got cheated by Vivian.
Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) are playing nice over at Bayview in front of Dr. Gregory. Sophia’s going to write Holly a much nicer note this time that doesn’t say she hates her. Everything seems less contentious. Sophia may be playing nice so that her minders at Bayview will relax their guard and she can escape again.
Rafe Grills Kristen on Days
Rafe circles back around to question Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk). And I wonder if it’ll be about what they found out in Alamainia about the CCTV on the crypt or if it’s about her working with him to take down EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). Maybe a little bit of both. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) needs Tate Black (Leo Howard)’s help to get through to Rachel Black (Alice Halsey), and this could be about steering clear of Sophia Choi,
or it could be about what happened with Rachel in the judge’s chambers. We may just get a play-by-play after the fact to find out what happened and if she’s been sentenced to an indefinite stay in Bayview. Obviously, Kristen was thinking she could just bring her home, but I don’t think it’s going to go that way because we know that Alice Halsey has her last episodes coming soon because she has left Days of Our Lives.
Stefano DiMera Memorial and EJ DiMera’s Rise to Power
Friday, February 6th, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) wants EJ and Kristen to just tap the brakes and stop their bickering so they can have some family unity for just a moment—long enough to bury their dad, Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo). I guess they’re going to inter ashes, and we’ll see if they put him back in the crypt or if they’re going to do something else with him.
Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), Chad, EJ, Kristen, and Theo are all definitely on the lock for Stefano DiMera’s memorial at the DiMera mansion. We may also see Gwen there, along with Roman Brady (Josh Taylor), Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow), Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), and Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk). I know Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) is supposed to be back this week, so she may be there, or they may just show up for the after-party.
Obviously, the family’s not partying, but I know Roman is probably ready to throw a big after-party. He and Marlena have a moment this week that upsets Kate. We also have Abe stunned by a request from Theo. I wonder if this has anything to do with Liam or Stefano’s memorial. Does Theo actually invite Abe? That is the last place he’d want to be.
EJ the DiMera Patriarch on DOOL?
At the memorial, EJ says that despite Stefano’s flaws, he did love them all. EJ promises they will not let the House of DiMera fall. It looks like Stefano’s infamous Phoenix ring may be going on EJ’s finger as he takes his place as the patriarch, even though he’s not the oldest. I think he’s the oldest biological child who is in the country and not on the run from the law.
Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) gets a warning from Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), and it may be to not let Stefano’s death make him vulnerable to EJ. Plus, he’s telling Johnny that he’s excited that Chanel is carrying a DiMera, but it sounds like those are fighting words because Johnny says he already has a son who’s a DiMera. It would seem strange for EJ to not count Tate as a real DiMera when he considers Tony a brother and Kristen his sister.


Valentine’s Day Romance and Shocking Decisions in Salem
The week of February 9th through the 13th, we are deep into February sweeps. We’re going to see Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) soon decide something surprising about their nuptials. They put out the press release that they were going to elope, but it sounds like in the midst of all this drama with her stalker, Stephanie and Alex decide that they don’t want to wait. There’s no time like the present.
Speaking of romance, Brady and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) decide it’s game on. They’re going to be together and they’re going to date despite Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) not being happy and despite the Kristen and Rachel issues they know will come with this.
Gabi & Philip Head to Miami on Days of Our Lives
Gabi and Philip are going to be heading to Miami. That may be what Philip stunned Gabi with—a surprise getaway for Valentine’s Day. Speaking of V-Day, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) are celebrating their wedding anniversary. They’ve been married a few times, like a good soap couple.
Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) are still in Salem; they’re going to be reminiscing and romancing. Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) and Abe Carver celebrate Valentine’s Day, but this may be their last good time since Lexie Carver (Renee Jones) may be back from the dead soon, which could put a nail in the coffin of Paulina and Abe’s marriage.
Ari gets a kiss from hunky bad boy Liam soon, and I’m guessing that Gabi is really going to hate that. Doug Williams III was enough of a bad boy, but Liam seems worse. He has the extra baggage of the dead ex, the single dad stuff, and then he’s a criminal—an illiterate criminal. His reading is getting better, though, so at least Abe’s got that sorted out for him.
February Sweeps: The Stalker Strikes and Vivian Alamain’s Next Scheme
We’re also going to find out more about whether Vivian faked out Eli and Rafe with different remains. She might have had Jake DiMera (Jake Lambert)’s remains put in that coffin because, as twins, they would have both tested the same. We only have three episodes of Vivian and then we’re going to have her off-screen with one-sided phone calls with Gwen on the Dimitri scheme.
EJ’s having a struggle. There are just a lot of things going on in his life, and that makes him very vulnerable for Cat to swoop in, get close, try to get info, and plant a kiss on him. Watch for Stephanie, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu), Alex, and Steve to launch their plan to trap the stalker, but he’s way ahead of them. Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is going to snatch Stephanie from the hospital, and I expect that’s coming during February sweeps.

Fans Are Excited For The Return Of Meryl Streep In The Sequel

Excitement for the David Frankel sequel has been steadily building, but appears to have surged following the release of the trailer.
Fans are particularly excited at the prospect of watching Streep reunite with the rest of the star-studded cast.
In the comment section of the trailer on YouTube, one fan admitted they kept replaying the clip just to watch Streep.
“Watched the 1st movie and this trailer thrice only for Meryl Streep,” the viewer wrote. “What an aura… big fan.”
Some viewers also used the moment to highlight the dramatic rise of the main cast over the past two decades.

“Crazy to think that in the first film, Meryl Streep was the only one in the four-person ensemble who was an Oscar nominee or winner,” one fan wrote. “Fast forward 20 years, and now every single one of them has been nominated for or won an Oscar.”

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Picks Up Years After The Events Of The Original Film
The new film is set roughly 20 years after the events of the original, returning audiences to the world of Runway magazine.
Hathaway played Andy Sachs, a young and idealistic journalist who is hired as a personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the imposing editor-in-chief played by Streep.
In the sequel, Andy has built a strong career as an investigative journalist. She is drawn back into the Runway orbit as the magazine faces mounting institutional and financial pressure.
Blunt’s Emily Charlton has since risen to become a powerful executive within the luxury fashion world, controlling access to advertising revenue that could ultimately determine Runway’s survival.

Anne Hathaway Had Previously Dismissed The Possibility Of A Sequel

Before 20th Century Studios officially moved forward with plans for a sequel, Hathaway had repeatedly shut down suggestions that a follow-up film would ever materialize.
During a red-carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2022, the actress urged fans to appreciate the original rather than expect a continuation.
“It’s not gonna happen,” Hathaway said at the time. “It’s just… we can’t do it. There are other films, there will be other films. We can just watch that one again.”
Roughly two years later, the “Les Mis” star still expressed doubts, although she had notably softened her stance this time.
“If somebody could come up with a way to do it, I think we’d all be crazy not to,” Hathaway told V Magazine.
Emily Blunt Said The Cast Was Unable To Share Details About ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’

In November 2025, Blunt was asked to reveal something about the upcoming movie, and she insisted that the cast was not allowed to discuss any aspects of it.
The actress was speaking during an episode of “Tiny Talks” by ELLE, a series where child “intern” Taylen Biggs hosts brief interviews with celebrities.
When asked what she could tease about the sequel, Blunt joked about how closely the studio was guarding details of the project.
“See, I can’t tease anything,” Blunt said. “[If I do,] Disney will come in here and literally blow dart me.”

The Series That Scarred 80s Kids Forever
By Jonathan Klotz
| Published

Every child of the ’80s carries with them scars to this day. We watched Artax lose the will to live in the Swamp of Sorrow, half the Autobots blown up in the first 10 minutes of Transformers: The Movie, and Punky Brewster turning refrigerators into the scariest household appliance. Even the original 1983 G.I. Joe got in on the action with surprisingly dark episodes, including one in which a traitor is consumed by piranhas, but none hit as hard as “There’s No Place Like Springfield,” a two-part psychological horror focused on breaking Shipwreck, a fan favorite character, so that he’d give up the secret formula that turns water into an explosive. Cobra never did anything the way, so the master plan was to pay homage to the mind-bending sci-fi series The Prisoner.
G.I. Joe’s Psychological Horror Season Finale

After the required bumper saying “G.I. Joe will return after these messages,” Shipwreck wakes up in a hospital and learns that his family was concerned about him. Not Uncle Al, but his wife (Mara, the Cobra operative spliced with fish DNA who previously fell in love with Shipwreck) and daughter, which is news to the career soldier who had given up on ever having a normal life. Haunted by nightmares, Shipwreck nonetheless falls into a routine with the family he always wanted in the idyllic town of Springfield.
The two-part episode is the equivalent of a slow-burning episode for G.I. Joe, which normally wrapped up the entire story in 22-minutes with a massive gun battle. “There’s No Place Like Springfield” slowly peels back the curtain as Shipwreck realizes there’s something wrong with the town, and he uncovers the Cobra conspiracy behind it all. With the town burning down around him when the Joes arrive on a rescue mission, Shipwreck is confronted by Mara, the woman he loves, who’s still fighting for Cobra, and his daughter, armed with a rocket launcher.. Until they melt into goo.

G.I. Joe was a very light-hearted children’s show designed to sell toys, which is why the sheer anguish in Shipwreck’s voice when he realizes that his family were synthoids is so haunting. He knows he’s been lied to by Cobra, he knows everything is fake, but in those final moments, he’s still hoping that it could be real. A glorified commercial wasn’t supposed to include deep themes about life, love, and trauma. All it needed was for the loved ones of a fan favorite character to start melting as he helplessly looked on.
G.I. Joe’s Best Episode

“There’s No Place Like Springfield” clearly took cues from Patrick McGoohan’s psychological sci-fi drama by dropping the hero in the middle of a perfect town, where other residents use various methods, both overt and covert, to get information from him. Shipwreck’s house is also located at 6 Village Drive, an obvious homage to Number Six and The Village from The Prisoner. As a kid, it’s easy to miss references to a show from the 60s, even the large, white, gelatinous mass that attacks Shipwreck is a direct reference to The Village’s bouncy, balloon security device, Rover. All the kids cared about was that Shipwreck made it out alive.
G.I. Joe ended Season 1 with the two-part psychological horror, but when Season 2 came around a year later, Shipwreck wasn’t shown dealing with the trauma; instead, he was reduced to comic relief. The addition of Sgt. Slaughter in Season 2 forced Season 1’s fan favorites to get less of the spotlight, but of all of them, Shipwreck deserved to remain a featured player, and he deserved to eventually settle down with the real Mara.
Melting loved ones turned “There’s No Place Like Springfield” into a memorable G.I. Joe episode that’s remained at the top of fan favorite lists for decades. 80s kids were used to horrible, horrible things happening to their heroes ever since we watched E.T. get sick. There had to be a better way to introduce new toys than to kill off the old favorites.
If you want to relive the 80s or check it out for the first time, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero is currently streaming for free on Pluto TV.

Steve Aoki Hosts Surprise DJ Set!
By late afternoon on October 10, 2025, The Breakers had settled into a quiet glow as guests arrived for what appeared to be a classic, intimate ceremony. Sarah Rollins Gonzalez and Richard Gonzalez were married in front of 130 of their closest friends and family in a moment that felt calm, focused, and deeply personal. Nothing about the room hinted at what was coming later that night, when a surprise set from DJ Steve Aoki would turn the ballroom into something closer to a concert than a reception.
As the evening unfolded, the tone began to shift. Music grew louder. The pace picked up. Under chandeliers and sweeping floral installations, the celebration slowly gained momentum, building toward a late-night moment that would transform the room entirely.
Article continues below advertisement
“I couldn’t commit to one theme,” Sarah says. “Because one theme couldn’t hold both sides of who we are.”
Rather than choosing between intimacy and spectacle, Sarah and Richard designed a wedding that made room for both, honoring the seriousness of the commitment they were making and the joy of celebrating it fully and unapologetically.
Article continues below advertisement
The Ceremony: A Sacred Pause

The ceremony itself was deliberately quiet. Designed in soft creams, ivories, and golds, the space felt warm and composed, elegant without excess. Light reflected gently off polished surfaces, florals softened the room, and eight black-tie violinists, elevated on suede-covered pedestals, filled the space with music that wrapped around the guests rather than competing with the moment. Nothing about the setting suggested that the same room would later host a very different kind of energy.
“There was an almost spiritual calm Sarah and Richard wanted people to feel,” says Justin Scalzo of YSD Events, who led planning and production for the weekend. “Each moment, from the welcome dinner through the reception, was designed to feel distinct, but connected through texture, light, and restraint.”
Article continues below advertisement
For Sarah, that inward focus mattered. “When you’re in love, you want to celebrate it,” she says. “But you also want to protect it. This part of the day was about keeping it sacred.”
That intention carried through to what they wore. After trying lighter silhouettes, Sarah chose a custom Elie Saab gown that felt architectural and grounded, matching the weight of the vows. “It felt like the Rolls-Royce of wedding gowns,” she says. “Heavy in the best way.” The night before, she wore a celebratory look by Carlos Mannings of Mannings Atelier for the welcome dinner.
Article continues below advertisement
Richard complemented her in a classic Tom Ford tuxedo, understated and precise. Together, they stood at the center of a ceremony that felt less like a performance and more like a promise, shared quietly with the people who knew them best.
Hair and makeup by Ariel Diaz and Amanda Maxwell emphasized softness and natural polish, while Birch Event Design layered both the ceremony and reception spaces with florals and finishes that transition seamlessly later in the evening, from refined to fully energized.

Intimacy As Luxury

Though the couple briefly considered a destination wedding, they ultimately chose Palm Beach so nearly everyone they loved could be present. With 130 guests and an attendance rate close to 98 percent, the celebration felt personal rather than sprawling.
“That intimacy changed everything,” Richard says. “It let us design the experience around the people, not just the production.”
The smaller scale also created room for customization, allowing The Breakers’ culinary and event teams to deliver highly personalized food, service, and entertainment moments that would have been impossible at a larger wedding.
The Shift: When The Night Awakens

As daylight faded and guests moved into the reception, the change in energy was subtle at first. The room didn’t flip all at once. It built gradually, as if warming up for something bigger.
Inspired by Miami at dusk, that moment when the sun disappears and the city lights come alive, the ballroom glowed beneath cloud-like florals and oversized crystal chandeliers woven into the blooms. The space felt looser, lighter, and charged with anticipation.
“What we wanted,” Sarah says, “was that feeling of falling in love. The excitement, the build, the heartbeat.”
Article continues below advertisement
Dinner unfolded like a slow rise. Music deepened as the night progressed, setting the rhythm for what was coming next. Saxophonist Al Sax, flown in from St. Barths and inspired by the couple’s favorite nights at Nikki Beach, moved through the room, climbing onto custom-built tables designed not just for performance, but for interaction.
“One of the most unique elements,” Justin notes, “was building tables with fully supported walkways. It allowed performers, and eventually guests, to step into the experience.”
Entertainment was curated by Elan Artists, with each musical moment layered intentionally toward a late-night peak.
Fashion As Transformation

For the reception, Sarah and Richard changed into custom Chrome Hearts, an unexpected choice that felt deeply personal rather than performative. The idea began months earlier in St. Barths, when Sarah discovered a rare pearl-and-diamond Chrome Hearts necklace, one of only two in existence. A conversation with founders Richard Stark and Laurie Lynn Stark followed, leading to something unprecedented: the first documented Chrome Hearts wedding gown, paired with a custom tuxedo for Richard.
“Someone told us they’re not really a brand, they’re a family,” Sarah says. “A husband and wife creating together. That mattered to us.”

Sarah’s corseted gown, finished with a train built for movement, stayed on for six uninterrupted hours on the dance floor. Richard’s look leaned into what Sarah calls his “glamorous bad-boy side,” a contrast few guests had seen before.
“The ceremony was about our love story,” Richard says. “The reception was about celebrating it.”
The Reveal

The night’s turning point arrived under the cover of tradition. As the couple moved toward the cake, the room went quiet. Guests were asked to turn away. There was a pause, just long enough to feel anticipation build.
Then the drapes opened. LED walls rose, the lighting shifted to concert scale, and DJ Steve Aoki stepped into the room, instantly resetting the energy. In seconds, the wedding became a full-blown dance party.
“That was the moment,” Justin says. “The release. Everything finally let loose.”

What Remains

As the night wound down, it wasn’t just the scale of the celebration that lingered, but how it felt to be there.
“Our hope,” Sarah says, “was that people left feeling a little more in love themselves.”
Planned in two distinct movements, one quiet and sacred, the other loud and electric, Sarah and Richard’s wedding reflected the full range of who they are. Not just a celebration to remember, but an experience designed to stay with people long after the music faded.

He even admitted that he’s always told her about “how good she looks at 50.” And of course Evelyn made sure to give him some compliments back crediting him for his intelligence.

Evelyn Spills On Lil’ Tiff Between Shaniece & The Game Over Their Child’s Name
Things got even messier online when social media users started accusing Evelyn of trying to embarrass Shaniece by spilling tea about her and Game arguing over their son’s name. During the interview, Evelyn recalled Shaniece getting upset after giving birth because she didn’t want their son’s name to be Blaze and even considered changing it. But what really got folks talking was Game admitting he goes tit for tat. The Compton emceee said he would’ve turned his petty up and hid his hands when it came to signing the passport for their son if Shaniece thought about switching up his name.
@rickybobby6025 I don’t think Shaniece expected her mom, Evelyne Lozada to release that information to the public😬😳 #thegame #evelynlozada #shaniecelozada #dropthelopodcast #babydaddy ♬ original sound – RickyBobby6025
Did Game Just Crash Shaniece’s Possible Happy Ending?
Evelyn didn’t stop at spilling tea — she came through asking some real hot questions too. She asked Game what he would do, hypothetically, if Shaniece started a whole new relationship and got married. He straight-up said that’s not happening, and he put the blame on himself. Game claimed any man trying to step to Shaniece would be shook at the thought of dealing with him since they share a child. Even with all of that, he said he has zero faith Shaniece would be walking down the aisle within a year anyway, because the dating stage usually lasts longer than that.
“Yes, you’re beautiful and yes, I want to be with you… I love you. But that thought process and that courting stage lasts longer than a year […] so it definitely won’t be next year.”

Shocking, R-Rated 70s Thriller Is A Paranoid Descent Into Conspiracy
By Robert Scucci
| Published

When people say “they don’t make thrillers like they used to,” I have full reason to believe they have films like 1971’s Klute in mind when they’re airing their grievances. Sometimes, all you need to tell a compelling story is a missing persons case, a climbing body count, and some good old fashioned police work. Directed by Alan J. Pakula, Klute delivers all of the above in spades, and it’s no surprise that its critical and commercial success kicked off what’s affectionately, and informally, known as the “paranoia trilogy,” which also includes 1974’s The Parallax View and 1976’s All the President’s Men.
Anchored by a tight mystery that never fully reveals its true nature until it reaches a breaking point, Klute is a hard-boiled neo-noir thriller you can really sink your teeth into as you try to put the puzzle pieces together yourself.
Starts With A Missing Person And A Call Girl

When Pennsylvania-based chemical company executive Tom Gruneman (Robert Milli) vanishes without a trace, private investigator John Klute (Donald Sutherland) is summoned to trace his whereabouts. Before committing to the case, he’s briefed on intel provided by Gruneman’s employer and colleague, Peter Cable (Charles Cioffi), so he knows exactly what he’s getting into. The only lead John Klute has to work with involves a New York City call girl named Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda), who has received several obscene letters from Gruneman in the lead-up to his disappearance.
The investigation starts out simply enough, with John secretly renting a basement apartment in Bree’s building so he can surveil her and gather intel. Bree is a tough nut to crack because she genuinely enjoys the independence her career affords her as a high-class call girl between sparsely offered acting and modeling gigs. John knows he’s tailing the right woman, but Bree, given how many johns she’s encountered over the years, only vaguely remembers an encounter with Gruneman, who was said to have laid hands on her.

Bree is at first hesitant to work with John, but when their frequent run-ins result in a budding romance, their motives align and she becomes more willing to cooperate with the investigation. That cooperation leads John to Frank Ligouin (Roy Scheider), Bree’s former pimp. Upon learning about two other call girls, Jane Mckenna and Arlyn Page, who both had similarly troubling encounters with Gruneman, John comes as close as he ever will to locating him, only to realize that Gruneman’s disappearance is merely the tip of the iceberg. There are more parties involved, and they don’t want their dark secrets exposed.
A Straight-Faced Thriller With A Gutpunch Ending

More than 50 years after its initial release, Klute is still as effective as anything coming out today because it doesn’t bother overexplaining what’s truly at stake. Instead, it leaves a breadcrumb trail of clues and morally dubious figures in its wake. John Klute has a job to do, but he also finds himself uncovering a far-reaching conspiracy involving powerful people. There’s ample reason not to trust his client at face value, and Bree’s own paranoia and inability to trust anyone adds a palpable layer of tension as she lets her guard down and allows John to become more than just the private investigator living in her building.
Klute checks all the boxes for a rock-solid crime thriller, and it holds up because it’s a well-written mystery that trusts its audience to do the heavy lifting. It leans hard into neo-noir without relying on gimmicks, melodramatic dialogue, or intrusive narration. Its straight-faced delivery is what ultimately pulls you in as you zero in on the guilty parties involved. And if you like what you see here, there’s plenty more where that came from with its unofficial companions, The Parallax View and All the President’s Men.


As of this writing, Klute is streaming for free on Tubi.

Halley Kate McGookin Can Still Feel Injury After Being Punched in NYC
TikToker Halley Kate McGookin says she can still feel her head injury nearly two years after she was allegedly punched by a man in the streets of New York City.
McGookin, 25, appeared at the Manhattan Supreme Court trial of Skiboky Stora on Tuesday, February 3, where she claimed that she was on her way to record a podcast in March 2024 when she was punched by a stranger, according to the New York Post. She further testified that she was so caught off guard by the alleged assault that she even apologized to her attacker.
“He was screaming at me, using a lot of profanity, saying it was my fault,” McGookin testified, according to the outlet.
McGookin claimed she can still feel pain at her hairline where she was allegedly struck.
“I couldn’t really touch anywhere near that spot,” she continued. “I couldn’t really brush my head because it was so painful, tender. “I can still feel in my hairline where I was hit.”
Stora, 42, is charged with three counts of third-degree assault as a hate crime, one count of stalking as a hate crime and second-degree aggravated harassment connected to several alleged random attacks in NYC, including an incident where he allegedly attacked a Jewish couple and yelled, “Die, Jews! Die!”
“Skiboky Stora allegedly committed a series of hate-motivated incidents against several individuals based on their perceived gender, race and religion,” said District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. in May 2024, according to ABC News. “Much of what defines our city is respect and acceptance of all people. Nobody should have to fear for their safety because of their identity. I thank our prosecutors for their unwavering commitment in seeking justice for these victims.”
Stora was arrested two days after the alleged attack on McGookin, following an investigation by the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force and the Manhattan DA’s office.

McGookin, who did not directly identify Stora as her attacker, posted a video to TikTok about the alleged assault shortly after she claimed it occurred.
“You guys, I was literally just walking, and a man came up and punched me in the face. Oh my God, it was so bad. I can’t even talk,” McGookin said in the video, which went viral and prompted several other TikTok users to come forward with accounts of similar alleged incidents.
Stora, a self-proclaimed rapper, appeared in court wearing a tie with his first name on it. He is representing himself in the trial and reportedly ignoring advice from a legal adviser, according to the NY Post.
Stora asked McGookin a series of unusual questions in court, including one about allegedly being the target of a federal probe and another about a “TikTok trend going around that people were saying they were punched, sucker-punched too.”
The questions were shut down by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Josh Hanshaft.
Stora’s trial is set to resume on Wednesday, February 4.
Ahead of her appearance in court on Tuesday, McGookin, who has 1.6 million followers on TikTok at the time of publication, took to Instagram to share a video of herself walking down the sidewalk to “The Phantom of the Opera.”
“What plays in my head as I am walking up to the courthouse to testify against the man who hit me in the head two years ago,” she wrote over the clip.
McGookin added in the caption, “He hit the wrong girl lemme tell u that.”
