Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks have shared one of the music industry’s most complicated relationships. The former couple became key members of Fleetwood Mac, helping shape the band’s legendary success despite years of personal and professional tensions. Now, Buckingham is offering a rare update on where he stands with his ex.

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks have a relationship marred by personal and professional conflicts. Despite breaking up in the ’70s, the two continued performing together in Fleetwood Mac, with their complicated dynamic often fueling feuds while also inspiring some of the band’s biggest and most enduring hits.

Now, the guitarist is shedding light on his current relationship with Nicks after years of tension. Buckingham was at Variety’s Power of Hollywood event on August 5, where he told E! News, “Stevie and I are talking all the time now.”

Last year, their self-titled 1973 album titled “Buckingham Nicks,” was re-released, and Nicks also made a comment, saying, “Lindsey and I started talking about it last night. This whole thing seems really like yesterday to us.”

While neither elaborated further, they seem to be in a much better place in their relationship.

Working On The Fleetwood Mac Documentary Healed Relationships

Buckingham shared that he and his former Fleetwood Mac bandmates have been working on a documentary for Apple TV, which will be released sometime in 2027.

The guitarist said the process was a “very circular healing process” for all the members. Buckingham had a falling out with Fleetwood Mac after he was let go from the band in 2018 due to internal disagreements and tensions with Nicks.

The conflict, he said, stemmed from “all the wrong reasons,” but they have since resolved their issues. “No one was happy about it, and all of that has been healed and worked out,” Buckingham shared.

The yet-to-be-titled Fleetwood Mac documentary is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Frank Marshall, and it will be the first film about the band that would be told in their own words, per the press release.

Lindsey Buckingham Confirms New Solo Album

While at the Variety event, a reporter asked the musician about a rumored album, to which he replied, “It’s not a rumor. It’s a reality.”

The 76-year-old has released seven studio albums, his last being the self-titled record released in 2021. Buckingham said that he has been working on his upcoming album for the last three years and believes it’s one of his “best works,” he told AP News.

In 2025, he teased what fans can expect, saying that it will reflect all the things he has learned from his decades of experience.

There isn’t a release date for his new album as of yet, but he confirmed it will launch after the Fleetwood Mac documentary.

The Musician Sued Fleetwood Mac After He Was Fired

Buckingham was fired ahead of Fleetwood Mac’s 2018 tour after being with them for more than three decades. Mick Fleetwood talked about parting ways with Buckingham shortly after, describing it as a “marriage that came to an end.” Nicks also spoke about it, adding, “We just couldn’t agree. And you know, when you’re in a band, it’s a team,” she said, per CBS News.

Buckingham filed a lawsuit against his former bandmates, citing breach of fiduciary duty, breach of oral contract, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage, per The Blast. He claimed the band “lost their perspective” and added that it wasn’t his choice to leave.

The dispute did not proceed to trial. Instead, Buckingham later announced that he and Fleetwood Mac were able to privately settle the matter.

Lindsey Buckingham Had An Alleged Stalker

In April, a report by The Blast detailed that Buckingham’s alleged stalker attacked him in Santa Monica. The musician had an existing restraining order against the woman, who reportedly threw an unknown substance at Buckingham before taking off.

On August 6, the woman was declared unfit to stand trial. The judge noted that it was “medically appropriate to treat the defendant’s psychiatric condition with medication,” citing a report from a medical professional, per Rolling Stone.

The woman, who is facing six felony charges and a misdemeanor, will be back in court later this month to determine her fate.

TV adaptations of Stephen King’s books are notoriously hit or miss, from the highs of Mr. Mercedes and 1990’s It, which scarred an entire generation, to The Langoliers and Under the Dome. One series that is squarely in the former is the thrilling supernatural drama Haven, which ran for 5 seasons on SyFy. The series is based loosely on King’s 2005 novel The Colorado Kid, creating a deep mythology of its own as it progresses… and now it is available to stream for free on Tubi.

‘Haven’ Uses Stephen King’s Book as a Stepping Stone into a Larger Story

When we say loosely based on King’s book, we mean very, very loosely: the murder of the titular character, 25-years prior, that drives the entire narrative of the book is merely a means of bringing FBI Agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) to the small town of Haven, Maine to investigate. Haven, naturally, is a nice, normal town where nothing strange ever happens. Right. Haven is, as its name suggests, a place where those plagued by a supernatural affliction known as “The Troubles” find refuge, a safe haven.

The manifestations of the “Troubles” are what drive the series; a “paranormal trouble of the week” procedural, for lack of a better comparable. One person’s nightmares become physical manifestations, driving him to try and stay awake to protect others. Animals transform into human beings. Another has a living shadow that attacks and kills whatever has angered him. A woman poisons people in the vicinity when she’s stressed out. Typically, the Trouble is a response to an emotional trigger, and once that trigger has been identified, it can be sent into remission with the right coping mechanisms.

Which is where Audrey comes in, as she, for some reason, is impervious to the effects of these Troubles. That extends to Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), a local police officer whose Trouble is idiopathic neuropathy, a condition where one cannot feel physical sensations, i.e. pain or touch. But he can feel Audrey’s touch, and the two form a bond and partner up to help those afflicted, with Audrey eventually leaving the FBI to join the Haven Police Department. They’re aided by local charming rogue Duke Crocker (Eric Balfour), with the three forming a team… and the proverbial love triangle.

But the question really is why Audrey is immune from those with Troubles, which in turn poses even more questions. Was it coincidence that she came to Haven, or was she destined to be there? Why does she feel a connection to Haven, which starts to feel less like a town and more like an entity unto itself? And why are there photos of her in Haven from years ago? It’s an overarching mystery that is intertwined with the origins of The Troubles, and she’s going to need Duke and Nathan’s help to bring the Troubles to an end, once and for all.

‘Haven’ Has a Deep Mythology With Ties to Stephen King

The depth of the Troubles they encounter is staggering, a set of imaginative maladies that keep each episode from playing out too similarly to those before or after it. It’s truly imaginative, with a well-detailed mythology that ties to the broader world of Stephen King’s works. The Troubles, inherited through bloodlines, occur in a recurring cycle of major outbursts every 27 years, a nod to the same multi-decade hibernation cycle shared by It‘s Pennywise. Other Maine towns from King’s works — Derry and Castle Rock, for instance — are often mentioned. A model of a red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury coupe appears on a desk, which looks suspiciously like the titular Christine. And in one of the more overt cases, a young boy in a yellow raincoat chases his newspaper boat, only to see it go into the gutter, letting out a blood-curdling scream when he reaches in for it…

Still, Haven stands on its own outside the King association. The relationship between the three leads has a similar vibe to The Vampire Diaries, with a very natural rapport between the three on screen. However, unlike its supernatural drama kin, where the love triangle often controlled the narrative, the focus of Haven remains on the mysteries of “The Troubles,” making the love triangle more of an engaging complementary piece than the main attraction.

The cast, led by the trio of Rose, Bryant, and Balfour, are excellent, breathing life into a host of characters that harbor their own deep secrets beneath their veneer. The one weakness of the series lies with the CGI, which is very, well, SyFy. But it’s a minor distraction, at worst, with the stories engaging enough to not have to rely heavily on it. Most importantly, it all feels somehow plausible, that despite the scope of the Troubles and Audrey’s place within it, Haven still feels grounded, a testament to Emily Rose, who shoulders the bulk of it. Haven is well worth the watch, especially now that it’s free to stream on Tubi. No “Troubles” at all.

Ryan Murphy is giving insight into the upcoming season of his anthology series, “Monster,” which will explore the infamous case of Lizzie Borden. The acclaimed producer recently explained why he wanted to tell Borden’s story, sharing what drew him to the case and why he believes it continues to captivate audiences more than a century after the murders.

Ryan Murphy, who co-created “Monster” with Ian Brennan, is sharing what prompted him to take on the 133-year-old murder case that involved Lizzie Borden, who was accused of killing his father and stepmother with an axe in 1892.

Past seasons explored the stories of convicted killers Jeffrey Dahmer, the Menendez brothers, and Ed Gein. The fourth season marks a first for the anthology, as Borden was never convicted of the crimes.

In an interview, Murphy said he had a “very deep connection” with Borden’s story because he won first place at his kindergarten’s singing contest with the popular nursery rhyme, which goes, “Lizzie Borden took an axe / And gave her mother forty whacks / When she saw what she had done / She gave her father forty-one.”

“That was the first thing I ever won. So I grew up with that nursery rhyme. I’m from the Midwest. I thought everybody knew that nursery rhyme, and they did not,” Murphy told The Hollywood Reporter.

Ryan Murphy Reveals Other Notorious Women Will Appear In ‘Monster 4’

Although the upcoming season of “Monster” will focus on Borden, Murphy shared that other notorious women will also be explored in the series. “I always wanted to do something about Aileen Wuornos. I’ve always wanted to do something about the Countess Elizabeth Báthory, who Dracula was modeled after,” he shared.

Wuornos was a serial killer who murdered seven men between 1989 and 1990. Countess Báthory, on the other hand, was accused in the early 1600s of killing hundreds of young girls and bathing in their blood to maintain her youth and beauty.

Murphy said “Monster” Season 4 will focus on the “women vs. the system” and pose the question: “What made them do it? Why did they do it, if they did it?”

“That’s what the show is about. And it has three really great ‘monsters’ behind it,” he added.

The Producer Says He Isn’t Glorifying Murderers

All three seasons of “Monster” proved to be streaming successes, though they were not without controversy. Some critics accused Murphy of sensationalizing the cases and exploiting real-life tragedies.

Murphy has accepted that creating shows based on real events comes with controversy. “No matter what you do, it’s going to be controversial. That’s baked into the cake,” he said, adding, “I’m always interested in, not glorifying these characters.”

Early this year, another Murphy project, “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette,” drew criticism from the Kennedy family for the “grotesque display” of “fiction,” as previously reported by The Blast. The two seasons of his other series, “American Crime Story,” which explored the O.J. Simpson case and the murder of Gianni Versace, also caused a stir due to “inaccuracies.”

The Case Of Lizzie Borden

In August 1892, Andrew Borden and his wife, Abby, were discovered brutally murdered with an axe inside their Fall River, Massachusetts home. The only other people present in the house at that time were Andrew’s daughter, Lizzie, and their household help, Bridget Sullivan.

Authorities accused Lizzie of perpetrating the crimes after she allegedly provided inconsistent alibis and set a dress on fire days after the murders. A pharmacist also testified that Lizzie attempted to purchase cyanide one day before the killings, claiming she needed it to clean a cape.

Following a 13-day trial in 1893, Lizzie was acquitted. The all-male jury noted the pieces of evidence were circumstantial, and they couldn’t fathom how a religious woman from upper-class society could commit such horrible crimes. Despite her acquittal, Lizzie lived the rest of her life as a social outcast.

The First Look At ‘Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story’

Netflix released the first look at the upcoming season of “Monster,” sparking excitement among fans. Ella Beatty will star as Lizzie, alongside Charlie Hunnam (Andrew Borden), Rebecca Hall (Lizzie’s stepmother), Vicky Krieps (Bridget Sullivan), and Billie Lourd (Emma Borden).

As Murphy revealed, Krieps will also be portraying Countess Báthory, and longtime collaborator Sarah Paulson will play Wuornos.

“Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story” will premiere on Netflix on September 17.

Perez Hilton is continuing to recover after a frightening mental health crisis left family, friends, and fans searching for answers. 

While the celebrity blogger remains stable following his hospitalization, a longtime family friend has revealed the emotional words Hilton reportedly shared from his hospital bed. 

The insider also shed light on the hours leading up to the incident, describing a day that appeared completely ordinary before events took a devastating and unexpected turn inside his Miami home.

After regaining the ability to speak in the hospital, Perez Hilton reportedly had one message for the person closest to him. 

According to a longtime family friend who spoke to the Daily Mail, the celebrity blogger told his mother, “I need help.”

The insider, who has known the family for nearly 20 years, described Hilton as someone carrying an immense emotional burden despite now being in stable condition.

“He’s really suffering. He’s a man in a lot of pain. I think right now he’s focused on the physical, but it’s all tied together. No one deserves the torment he’s going through,” the source said.

Although Hilton was reportedly able to communicate clearly with his mother, the family friend believes he is still trying to understand everything that unfolded.

According to them, “He was able to articulate himself [to his mother in hospital] but I don’t think he’s quite self-aware enough yet [to understand exactly what happened].”

The insider added that Hilton “is still in a dark place as I understand it. Just very very sad,” suggesting the emotional wounds remain far from healed.

Hilton’s Ordinary Day Ended In A Terrifying Emergency

For those who know Perez Hilton best, the incident has been especially difficult to process because nothing earlier in the day appeared out of the ordinary.

“He was acting normal. That’s the thing. He was getting excited about future projects. It had been a good day up to then,” the source explained.

Like countless other mornings, the media personality reportedly spent the day at his Miami home discussing work with colleagues and exchanging messages with entertainment sources as he followed celebrity news.

Just hours later, however, everything changed. As The Blast reported, authorities were called Tuesday evening after a TikTok livestream allegedly showed the media personality covered in blood, holding a large knife, and apparently harming himself inside his residence.

Viewers quickly alerted emergency services, prompting deputies with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Department to respond. Officers reportedly carried out de-escalation measures before remaining at the property for several hours.

According to 911 dispatch audio, authorities were responding to an apparent “suicide attempt” before Hilton was ultimately transported to a hospital for treatment.

Perez Hilton’s Family Shielded His Children From The Disturbing Scene

As new details emerged, Hilton’s family revealed that protecting his children became their immediate priority.

According to a report from The Blast, relatives released a statement, disclosing that Hilton’s children, his sister, and his niece had all been inside the home shortly before the livestream began.

“When it became clear that Perez was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself, they immediately fled to protect the children from witnessing any further trauma,” the family said.

The statement went on to explain that helping the children recover emotionally is now the family’s primary focus, noting, “Our highest priority right now is helping the children begin to heal from what they experienced. An important part of that process is allowing them to safely return home and begin rebuilding a sense of security and normalcy.”

Hilton’s Inner Circle Remains Searching For Answers

Even with Perez Hilton now recovering, those closest to him say they are still struggling to understand what triggered such a devastating crisis.

“There was nothing specific that happened that anyone knows of. He hasn’t been particularly depressed,” the longtime family friend said.

The insider stressed there had been no obvious professional setback or personal event that pointed toward what happened.

Instead, friends believe the pressures surrounding Hilton’s recent move may have quietly taken a heavier toll than anyone realized.

“So there wasn’t like a big event. We think it’s the stress from the move. He can get very overwhelmed sometimes. Everyone knows that. But never to this extent,” one source explained.

TikTok Blames ‘Moderator Error’ For Delay In Removing Perez Hilton Livestream

While Hilton continues to recover, attention has now shifted to TikTok’s handling of the disturbing livestream. 

In a statement to Deadline, the platform acknowledged that the broadcast remained online for roughly 15 to 20 minutes because of what it described as a “moderator error,” despite its automated systems flagging the content within minutes and escalating it to its U.S. moderation team. 

A TikTok spokesperson said the company also alerted law enforcement while the livestream was still active, helping prompt the emergency response to Hilton’s Miami home. 

Although some viewers claimed the broadcast lasted more than 30 minutes, TikTok disputed those accounts, maintaining the initial stream lasted about 15 minutes. 

The company added that when Hilton attempted to go live again, each subsequent livestream was removed within approximately 90 seconds before his account was ultimately banned for violating TikTok’s policies on self-harm and graphic content.

NBC is starting its fall season with several shows returning while dealing with offscreen cast exits.

The One Chicago franchise has made headlines over the years as cast members often come and go across all three shows. Before season 15 of Chicago Fire, multiple outlets confirmed that Joe Miñoso was leaving the hit NBC series, but he is still expected to appear in several episodes when the show returns.

Showrunner Andrea Newman also exited after spending more than a decade behind the scenes. News later broke that Dermot Mulroney is also leaving following his brief return in the season 14 finale earlier this year. Mulroney’s Dom Pascal was noticeably missing for several episodes throughout the season, with Rob Morgan (Andre Hopkins) taking over his position as chief at Firehouse 51.

Over on Law & Order, Detective Theo Walker (David Ajala) will be getting a new partner during season 26 after Detective Vincent Riley (Reid Scott) is written off. According to Deadline, James Badge Dale is going to be replacing Scott’s character as a new senior detective.

The outlet reported that Scott, 48, will be in “a few episodes” before his exit is official. With the departure being Scott’s choice, the “amicable” decision will likely leave the door open for Riley to return in the future instead of killing the character off.
