Whether or not you’re including Brenda Song on your Disney Mount Rushmore doesn’t discount the fact that she’s a millennial icon — and fashion one, too. Long before she ever uttered the word “PRNDL” on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, the actress rocked the cool-girl outfits of our Y2K dreams in Get a Clue and Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior. In 2026, her style is still just as enviable. The mom of two was spotted wearing stylish Adidas sneakers while visiting Legoland with her partner, Macaulay Culkin. Aside from the sneakers’ budget-friendly price tag, her footwear choice is extra flattering for petites.
Song is just 5’2″, so while her celebrity tall-girl counterparts (including Taylor Swift and Katie Holmes) are loving Adidas Sambas, the Running Point star went with the platformed alternative, the Adidas Sambae. The white and black-striped shoe is still just as versatile and sleek as the OG, but its 1 1/4″ rubber sole adds a subtle height boost, which is a welcome detail for those on the shorter side.

The rest of the shoe still feels completely classic — it’s made of leather, laces up and features that famous ‘T-toe’ design that makes the Samba a hit. You also don’t have to settle for Song’s color choice, since the same style comes in black with white stripes as well as embellished and vibrant varieties, allowing you to find something that suits you best.
What doesn’t change, however, are all the glowing reviews, which show that these kicks are more than just a celeb-approved piece.
“Really cute and more comfortable than I expected!” one person admitted. “A quality shoe that seems like it will hold up for a very long time.”
Others did note that sizing runs big (it’s technically unisex, so double-check before ordering!), but overall, they said they loved the look and how easy the shoes were to style.
“Super cute,” another shopper wrote. “I wear an 8 (9-5/8” insole) but knew these ran a whole size big, so I got the 7 and fit is great. Versatile everyday shoe. Even better if you’re a short girl like me!”
Song went casual for her outing, pairing the sneakers with a simple white tank and green striped boxer shorts (a combo we’re totally recreating this summer). However, the platform pick is the perfect choice for elongating your legs in a midi dress or styling with jeans — especially if they’re kinda long and you forgot to visit the tailor.
Whether you’ve been lusting after Song’s looks for longer than you’d care to admit or are only now discovering her impeccable style, one thing’s for sure: she’s got the scoop on winning options for those under 5’3″. Grab her petite-approved sneakers now, and keep your eye peeled for her next short-girl-friendly outfit!

Gore, whose mother and sister have also been diagnosed with breast cancer, admitted, “If I didn’t say that I was a little bit scared, I’d be lying.”
The Met Gala is famously known as the Super Bowl of fashion. Why? Well, it’s one of the most exclusive (and stylish) social events in the world, and celebrities always go all out for the occasion on the red carpet.
Like the championship game, though, sometimes stars and their glam squads surprise Us with the unexpected — be it a never-before-seen hairstyle or a wildly unpredictable eye makeup.
Take Nicole Richie, for example. She commanded attention with gray-white hair at the 2013 soirée to fit the event’s “Punk: Chaos to Couture” theme.
Through the years, Met Gala beauty has gotten better and bolder. At the 2019 celebration, Billy Porter nailed the “Camp: Notes on Fashion” theme by transforming into what he said was an “Egyptian Sun God.”
In 2024, Doja Cat wowed fans with glitter teardrops streaming down her face for “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”

What Do You Think Roomies?
We can think of a million reasons to love Rihanna, but what easily ranks is that she never hesitates to take a fashion or beauty risk on the red carpet.
The Fenty Beauty founder has served up some of her most memorable looks at the Met Gala. She attended her first Met Ball back in 2007, where the then-19-year-old beauty sparkled in a white grecian-inspired Georges Chakra gown with a crystal-embellished bodice that she accessorized with black fishnet gloves a la Madonna.
In 2014, she added a little surprise with her structured crop top and skirt combo, but it was 2015 when everything changed for the “Anti” singer.
“I remember being so scared to get out of that car because I felt like, ‘I’m doing too much,’” she recalled of her yellow Guo Pei cape dress in a 2020 interview with Access Hollywood. “I was driving past the red carpet, and I was just seeing, like, gowns, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, I’m a clown. People are going to laugh at me. This is like, too much.’ I thought that. I circled like three times, I’m not even joking. And finally, I was like, ‘Whatever, let’s go. I don’t regret it.”

Anticipation for Beyoncé‘s new album from her trilogy is at an all-time high after the songstress dropped a major tease.
After releasing “Renaissance” in 2022 and “Cowboy Carter” in 2024, the music icon is predicted to drop her final act this year, which is rumored to be rock-inspired.
Although Beyoncé has remained quiet about the project, fans continue to draw inferences from her social media posts, perceiving them as clues.
Queen B had the Beyhive buzzing earlier this week when eagle-eyed fans noticed major changes on her website Beyonce.com.
The merchandise page for “Cowboy Carter” has now been removed, meaning fans can no longer shop for items. However, that wasn’t all.
In the segment of the website celebrating the 25th anniversary of Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor” album, the singer dropped what many perceived as an Easter egg.
Alongside throwback photos of her with fellow bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Beyoncé included a clip of Stevie Nicks joining the girls in an interview. Fans may recall that the Fleetwood Mac singer featured in the music video for Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious.”
In the throwback interview, Nicks surprised the then-young singers, who gushed about how the legend canceled some appointments to shoot the music video.

As expected, it didn’t take long for the Beyhive to come up with theories on what the clip represents.
“Something’s definitely brewing… Beyoncé linking back to Destiny’s Child and Stevie Nicks isn’t random. New era loading?” one fan suggested.
Another similar comment read, “Removing the CC merch and posting Stevie Nicks? The Act III Rock era is officially loading. She’s reminding us about that Edge of Seventeen sample for a reason.”
Some took it as an indication that Nicks would be featured on the upcoming album. “Imagine how full circle it would be if Stevie makes an appearance on Act 3. I’ll collapse??” this fan wished.
This user declared, “Folks? There’s nowhere left to run from BEYONCÉ anymore. Act III is really starting.”

This isn’t the first time Beyoncé has sent fans spiraling into conspiracy theories with her social media uploads.
Just days ago, The Blast reported that the “Drunk In Love” singer marked the 10th anniversary of the “Lemonade” album.
Taking to Instagram to commemorate one of her most prestigious albums, the singer uploaded photos of her holding three lemons and a bottle of her whisky brand, Sir Davis. In the caption, she gushed about her gratitude for the decade milestone.
As some fans reminisced on the beloved album, others believed the post was saying much more. “3 LEMONS … ACT 3,” a comment read, while another stated, “10 years of Lemonade in the year of ACT III.”

Despite fans reading so much meaning into social media, Beyoncé’s team had to recently address some speculations.
Reports recently surfaced that the rollout of Act III would begin at the 2026 Met Gala, where the “Countdown” singer serves as co-chair alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. It was also alleged that the album has “two big features” and will have a summer release.
Queen B’s publicist, however, immediately shut down the claims. As reported by Complex, Yvette Noel-Schure took to X to write, “This is unequivocally false!!”

As fans eagerly await Queen B’s new era, it is hard to forget the immense success of her eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter.”
Not only did the country-inspired project earn her the prestigious Album of the Year award at the 2025 Grammys, but it also pushed Beyoncé into the billionaire’s club.
According to The Blast, two months after concluding the “Cowboy Carter” tour, which was the highest-grossing tour of 2025, Forbes certified the Texas native as an official billionaire.
The singer’s fifth all-stadium tour earned a total of $407.6 million at the box office with a whopping 1.6 million tickets sold. In addition, the tour also became the highest-grossing country tour of all time.
With her new billionaire title, Beyoncé joined the likes of her husband, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springstreen.

“I just did everything I could to communicate that feeling,” director Alexandra Brodski tells EW.
Prince William is catching heat after a clip reignited questions about how he spends his time as a senior royal.
In the video, journalist Chris Ship claims the Prince of Wales earns roughly £22 million annually to represent the U.K., but also “spends a lot of time” playing video games.
The claim didn’t sit well with everyone, with critics zeroing in on the reported figure while others leaned into the lighter side, speculating about what games the future king might be playing.
In the segment, Ship was asked whether William’s eldest son, Prince George, plays video games. While he admitted he wasn’t sure, the journalist pivoted to the Prince of Wales himself, claiming he has “been known to spend rather a lot of time” gaming.
Pressed further on what titles William might prefer, Ship said he didn’t have that level of insight, but speculated the royal could be into popular franchises like “Grand Theft Auto” or “FIFA.”
Another guest then chimed in to note that William has previously acknowledged George does play video games, though the family reportedly keeps a close eye on screen time and tries to limit how long he spends playing.

Social media users didn’t hold back after the clip circulated alongside claims that William earns £22 million a year to “represent” the U.K., with many questioning how that squares with having time to game.
“22m per year? For f-cking what?” one Reddit user wrote. Another added, “Doesn’t surprise me. Probably some violent game too, when he’s done with leaking, harassing his brother through the media, or shouting at staff/wife for the day, he needs something else where he can be aggressive and violent.”

William and Kate may be raising future royals, but that doesn’t mean their children are given free rein at home. The couple is known to enforce firm boundaries with their three kids, from travel protocols tied to royal succession to strict limits on screen time.
William has previously spoken about the importance of getting his children outdoors, making it clear that he and Kate prefer playtime outside over hours spent on video games.
In an October 2025 appearance on The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, the Prince of Wales offered a rare glimpse into their home life, revealing that their parenting style comes with clearly defined rules.
“Absolutely, yes, definitely,” William said when asked about family routines, stressing the importance of sitting down together for meals. “So, sit and chat is really important.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, William emphasized that family remains his top priority, describing it as “the most important thing” in his life. Speaking about raising grounded children in a digital age, the Prince of Wales explained that creating a stable and supportive environment early on is key.
“And everything is about the future,” he said, per ABC News. “If you don’t start the children off now with a happy, healthy, stable home, I feel you’re setting them up for a bit of a hard time and a fall.”
To that end, William shared that he and Kate intentionally steer their children toward outdoor activities rather than increased screen time.

Meanwhile, William and Kate are reportedly eyeing a return to Australia, and plans are even said to be in motion for their first official visit to the country in over a decade. The reported tour comes on the heels of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s recent visit, with some insiders branding William and Kate’s potential trip a “revenge tour.”
According to a source cited by Sky News, the Prince and Princess of Wales are keen to deliver what’s being described as a full-scale royal experience.
“William and Kate both know that they need to give Australia a real ‘bells and whistles’ royal tour as soon as their schedule allows,” the insider said. “William and Kate know that the Australian public deserves better. It’s their job to make it happen.”
If it goes ahead, the visit would mark the couple’s first official tour Down Under since 2014, with reports suggesting their three children may join them.
Whew, Roomies! Falynn Pina has stepped in with a few words amid Porsha Williams’ recent interview with Carlos King. ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ fans know that Falynn was previously married to Simon Guobadia before he and Porsha tied the knot. During the interview, Porsha addressed whether she betrayed Falynn by marrying Simon, but it looks like Falynn wasn’t feeling her answer. She dropped a message on social media seemingly threatening to expose receipts and spill the “real” tea.
Okay, so BOOM! Recently, Porsha Williams sat down with Carlos King on his podcast to talk about everything from ‘RHOA,’ her new relationship, and her previous marriage to Simon Guobadia. During their chat, Williams addressed her friendship with Falynn Pina and whether she took Simon from Falynn. Simon and Falynn were reportedly married for two years before they announced their divorce in 2021. That same year, Porsha and Simon announced their engagement, leaving fans to go wild with reactions and accusations about whether Porsha betrayed Falynn. Fans got a brief preview of Porsha and Falynn’s dynamic on season 13 of ‘RHOA,’ where a clip shows Porsha at Simon and Falynn’s home.
Now, Porsha is claiming that they were never really friends and said she actually didn’t know her. “I did not know her. I didn’t know anything.” She continued, “I know people at this point are going to believe what they’re going to believe.” Additionally, Williams claimed she has receipts of text messages that show producers gave her Falynn’s number before she even went to her home.
But even with that Porsha took accountability for how everything looked and admitted that she should’ve addressed the narrative when it unfolded. “I take full accountability for my part in the optics and I take full accountability for not speaking to the narrative once again. At that time, I just didn’t think it was my place.”
Falynn Pina peeped Porsha Williams’ interview and hopped on her Instagram Story to share her thoughts on Thursday, April 30. She dropped a message saying she was cool with never clearing the air about Porsha and Simon Guobadia, but now she wants everybody to take real accountability so they can finally put the whole story to bed. Her way of kicking that off? She says she ready to dust off her own receipts to share her side of what really went down.
“IKYFL!!!! See…I was ok with never speaking on this situation again, but as long as 265 is out here doing interviews taking “accountability” and acting as captain save a h*e with @thecarlosking_ !!!!!!! F*** it. Time to blow the dust of these receipts so that EVERYONE can take REAL ACCOUNTABILITY and this s**t can finally die.”

— The RHOA Talk (@TheRhoaTalk) April 30, 2026
Porsha and Simon’s marriage was a major talking point of ‘RHOA.’ Fans stayed wanting the tea about how their love story blossomed into marriage. Even though they started out in love, Porsha filed for divorce in February 2024, just 15 months after they tied the knot. From there, their divorce continued spilling all over social media as both of them continued to take shots at each other. Then in June 2025, a Georgia judge signed off on their divorce, officially finalizing their split. While speaking with Carlos, Porsha said she feels good since the breakup and is enjoying living in her truth as her real self.
“There are some parts of that relationship I have to admit that I was falling back into old patterns […] Way back to my first marriage. Giving up who I was to a certain extent… The box that I was being put in just wasn’t what was best for me.”
