Nicole Kidman has found herself at the center of fresh family speculation after fans noticed she excluded her older children, Isabella and Connor, from a recent Mother’s Day tribute.

The post reignited long-standing rumors about her relationship with the two adopted children, with a source sharing that things have “shifted” since the actress’s recent divorce.

At the same time, insiders claim Keith Urban is quietly struggling with growing distance from the daughters he shares with Nicole Kidman.

Nicole Kidman has sparked debate online after excluding her two older children, Isabella and Connor, from her recent Mother’s Day tribute.

The Oscar-winning actress shared a sweet Instagram photo on Sunday featuring her daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 14, whom she shares with husband Keith Urban.

Alongside the image, Kidman wrote: “To my beautiful girls, the greatest joy is being your mother. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the world.”

The post quickly drew attention from fans, many of whom questioned why her adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise were not included. “What about the other two?” one follower commented.

Kidman adopted Isabella, now 33, and Connor, 31, during her marriage to Cruise. The actress has rarely been seen publicly with either child in over a decade, fueling long-running speculation about distance within the family.

Much of the attention has centered on Isabella and Connor’s involvement with the Church of Scientology, which Cruise also famously follows.

Nicole Kidman’s Relationship With Her Eldest Kids Has ‘Shifted,’ Sources Claim

Amid the rumors of strain, Isabella recently appeared to acknowledge her connection to her mother by professionally using the surname “Kidman Cruise” instead of simply “Cruise.”

However, a source speaking to Woman’s Day claimed that Kidman’s relationship with her adopted kids has “shifted” since her divorce from Keith Urban, and now the actress is reassessing the people she keeps close as she enters a new phase in life.

“Nicole’s going through a rigid ‘culling’ period where she’s moving forward,” a source told the news outlet, per Sky News Australia.

They added, “Her trust issues have definitely been rattled, and she’s only bringing people along her next phase in life who have a proven track record of loyalty.”

Nicole Kidman Once Spoke About Her Adopted Kids’ Decision To Become Scientologists

Years before Kidman’s omission of her adopted kids from her Mother’s Day post, she had publicly expressed love and support for all of her children.

In a 2018 interview with Who Magazine, she addressed her older children’s religious choices, saying that as adults, “they are able to make their own decisions.”

The movie star also talked about the duo’s decision to join the Church of Scientology like their father, Cruise, revealing that, as their mother, all she can do is “love” the two of them despite their choices.

“They have made choices to be Scientologists, and as a mother, it’s my job to love them,” Kidman said at the time.

Keith Urban Reportedly Refuses To ‘Trash Talk’ Nicole Kidman Despite Painful Family Divide

Meanwhile, Urban is reportedly taking the high road following his split from Kidman, with insiders claiming the country star has refused to publicly criticize his ex despite feeling increasingly distant from their daughters.

According to a source who spoke with In Touch, Urban has “kept his side of the street clean” throughout the separation and “doesn’t trash-talk Nicole or accuse her of poisoning the kids against him, even though … the cold reality is that they’re not currently a part of his life.”

Court documents obtained by People Magazine reportedly show that Kidman, 58, became the primary residential parent after the pair’s September split.

The arrangement allegedly gives the actress custody of the girls for the majority of the year, while Urban’s parenting time is significantly more limited.

The insider claimed Urban agreed to the terms without putting up a legal battle because he believed it was the best decision for the family at the time.

However, those close to the singer say he “never in a million years did he envisage any scenario this brutal.”

Keith Urban Reportedly Struggling As Sunday Rose Publicly Sides With Nicole Kidman

In recent months, Sunday Rose has frequently appeared alongside her mother at major public events, including Paris Fashion Week, the Met Gala, and Chanel’s pre-Oscar celebration.

During a March interview with Elle Australia, the teenager reportedly described Kidman as her “biggest inspiration in life.”

Fans also noticed that Sunday briefly unfollowed Urban on Instagram earlier this year, something first reported by the Daily Mail.

Sources close to Urban claim seeing his daughters publicly embrace life with Kidman has been emotionally difficult for the singer.

Some within his inner circle allegedly believe the actress has been intentionally highlighting her close bond with the girls following the breakup.

“She’s like the cat that ate the canary right now, rubbing her happy single parent life in his face, and to pretty much everyone in Keith’s world, that’s just cruel and totally out of line,” the insider said.

Sandals season is in full swing, and if you’re anywhere near New York City, you’ll see gold everywhere. Rich moms wear gold sandals nonstop, and Martha Stewart is part of the fandom. The A-lister probably has endless shoe options, and yet she reaches for the same sandals nonstop. We’re following suit, especially since Stewart’s classy gold look is only $18 on Amazon!

The lifestyle queen donned the same shiny pair of sandals at least twice in one week; once with a dress at her godson’s wedding and again with a two-piece set at a luncheon. Clearly, the style has first-pick status in her wardrobe. Stewart has spent years perfecting effortless elegance, and these chic slip-ons fit right in.

They’re lightweight, easy to throw on and forgiving in all the right places, requiring no break-in period or blisters.

“These shoes were not only attractive but very comfortable to wear,” one Amazon shopper shared. “I wore them on a cruise where I did miles of walking.”

Another reviewer wrote, “The two-strap design is so flattering and on-trend, and the quality is impressive. The memory foam footbed makes them incredibly comfortable right out of the box.”

What makes these shiny slip-ons so smart is their sheer flexibility. Pair them with a flowy sundress and you’ve got a polished wedding-guest outfit. Wear them with loose pants or a knit set, and suddenly you’re ready for a lunch reservation. If you want to be like Stewart, you’ll rock them for both.

Gender-swapped remakes can be quite contentious at times, as people ask what the need for them could possibly be. However, the latest one that’s been announced has certainly caught our eye, because The Expendables universe is officially getting a new movie in the form of The Expendabelles, an all-female spin-off.

The project has been discussed in different forms for years, but the latest version is being lined up as its own entity rather than a follow-up to the adventures of Barney Ross and Lee Christmas, although we’re tickled by the idea of Zendaya and Sydney Sweeney as Barnetta Ross and Leah Christmas.

The main Expendables franchise began in 2010 and followed a team of elite mercenaries led by Sylvester Stallone’s Barney Ross. The films managed to bring an immense level of action stars from your dad’s DVD shelf, including Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, Megan Fox, Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, and more.

This has been in the works for a long time. More than a decade, as it happens. An all-female Expendables spin-off was first announced back in 2012, with writers Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith attached at one stage and over the years, names like Meryl Streep, Cameron Diaz, Milla Jovovich, and Sigourney Weaver were all mentioned in connection with the project. We would love to see Meryl with a minigun and a bandolier.

How Successful is ‘The Expendables’?

The series started out like a freight train, with the first movie grossing $268 million worldwide against an $82 million budget, while The Expendables 2 did even better with about $312 million worldwide against a $100 million budget. The law of diminishing returns kicked in with the third outing which grossed $209 million worldwide against a $100 million budget. Not a disaster by any means but there’s a clear drop in interest, especially domestically where it only took in about $39 million.

Then Expend4bles pretty much cratered. This was a full blown box office bomb, as it cost around $100 million and grossed only about $51 million worldwide, with just $16.7 million domestic. Its worldwide box office landed at only 0.5 times its production budget, which is brutal. However, with a more moderate budget, it’s clear the interest is there, so this will be one to watch.

The Expendabelles is in production now.

After Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) finishes his jail term for involuntary manslaughter, he is placed on a flight with several other convicts who are being transported to a new maximum security prison. Unlike Poe, these guys are very bad people, so when the plane is hijacked by one of them, Cyrus “The Virus” Grissom (John Malkovich), all hell breaks loose. Poe is the only one on board who can stop them from breaking free, but to do that, he’ll have to take them down one by one without crashing the plane.

Con Air has a silly title and an even sillier premise, but with a cast featuring some of the best character actors of the ‘90s, the film works far better than it should. Sporting a buffed-up physique and an ugly mullet, Cage is the grungy action hero we all deserve, while Malkovich and Steve Buscemi compete with who can chew the most scenery as the film’s wild, over-the-top villains. Con Air is pure Hollywood hokum, and it achieves a kind of machismo-fueled perfection that most action films aspire to reach.

Spencer Pratt is unlikely to have cameras following his every move if he is elected mayor of Los Angeles.

A report claimed on Thursday, May 14, that the Hills alum, 42, signed a deal with L.A. production company Boardwalk Pictures to film a reality show should he be named mayor.

However, a spokesperson for Pratt shot down the rumor, telling Us Weekly in a statement, “This is inaccurate. There is no contract. There is no production. Cameras have not been following the campaign and have no plans to do so.”

Pratt announced in January that he is running for mayor, one year after the Palisades Fire that devastated California. Pratt, his wife, Heidi Montag, and their two sons, Gunner, 8, and Ryker, 3, lost their home in the fire, which killed 12 people and burned more than 6,800 homes and businesses.

Former The Hills star Stephanie Pratt is refusing to endorse her brother, Spencer Pratt, in his bid for Los Angeles mayor. “Spencer has done great work for the palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor,” Stephanie, 39, wrote via X on Saturday, February 14, referring to her brother’s outspoken advocacy in […]

“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling; it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said at the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration on January 7. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.”

Pratt continued, “That’s why I am running for mayor. And let me be clear, this just isn’t a campaign, this is a mission, and we’re gonna expose the system.”

Amid his political campaign, Pratt likened himself to former President Barack Obama during a recent interview.

“I have two awards from my community. President Obama actually didn’t even have awards when he was a community organizer,” Pratt, who is a registered Republican, told NBC Los Angeles’ Conan Nolan on May 8. “He was able to become a senator and then a president for eight years. So, I feel like him, and I have the same experience.”

Pratt also hit back at criticism of his reality TV past as he attempts to pivot to politics. He insisted he is a “community advocate” these days rather than a celebrity.

“I’m no longer a reality star,” he argued. “It’s funny, I keep being called a reality star. I’m the only candidate living in reality, too.”

Pratt is one of three leading candidates in the mayoral race. Incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman are also strong contenders.

Pratt has several high-profile supporters backing the MTV alum in his political ambitions, including Joe Rogan, Kristin Cavallari, Nick Viall, Katharine McPhee and David Foster and more.

“You’re simply the best / Better than all the rest / Better than Karen Bass / And Nithya Raman,” she sang.

Not everyone, however, is getting behind the campaign. Spencer’s sister, Stephanie Pratt, has urged Los Angeles residents not to vote for her brother.

“Spencer has done great work for the Palisades. But LA does not need another unqualified and inexperienced mayor,” Stephanie, 40, wrote via X in February. She added, “A vote for him is a vote for stupidity.”

David Letterman returned one last time to the show he started 33 years ago.

Letterman, 79, bid farewell to The Late Show on Thursday, May 14, as he joined current host Stephen Colbert to reminisce about the old days. Letterman launched The Late Show in 1993 and retired in 2015, paving the way for Colbert, now 62, to take over.

“I have every right to be pissed off, so I’ll be pissed off here a little bit. You folks wouldn’t be in this theater if it weren’t for me, and Stephen wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for me,” Letterman said about returning to the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City. “We rebuilt this theater, and then Stephen came in, and look at this. It’s like the Bellagio [hotel]. You can take a man’s show, but you can’t a man’s voice.”

Letterman then joked about Colbert’s fellow late-night talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.

Former The Daily Show correspondent and beloved late night host Stephen Colbert shocked fans in July 2025 when he announced that CBS has decided to end The Late Show With Stephen Colbert — and the late night program overall — in May 2026. The surprising move retired the longtime late night franchise, launched by David […]

“You know what I’m really worried about? What will become of the Jimmys? Are they going to be all right?” he asked.

Later in the episode, Letterman and Colbert made their way to the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater to destroy CBS property ahead of The Late Show’s final week on air.

“I thought maybe tonight’s occasion would be a little sad, being the end of your run here, but this brings true joy to my heart. We are up here for the wanton destruction of CBS property,” Letterman said before he and Colbert proceeded to toss both Colbert’s desk chair and the blue sofa chairs used by guests from atop the venue.

Colbert then joked that CBS sent him and Letterman a cake reading “The Late Show 1993-2026,” which they also proceeded to launch to the ground below.

CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show in July 2025. Colbert’s final episode is set to air on Thursday, May 21.

“The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season. We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire the Late Show franchise at that time,” CBS said in a statement. “We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”

CBS said the move was purely “financial” and not “related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.” (CBS’ parent company, Paramount, was acquired by Skydance Media in August 2025.)

In an interview with The New York Times earlier in May, Letterman disagreed that the show was canceled for financial reasons.

“He was dumped because the people selling the network to Skydance said, ‘Oh no, there’s not going to be any trouble with that guy. We’re going to take care of the show. We’re just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry,’” Letterman claimed.

He added, “I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing. … They’re lying weasels.”

For its part, CBS told the Times that the show’s cancellation was “unequivocally a financial decision.”

You can always count on leather jackets to bring a cool factor to any look — just ask Taylor Swift. The star’s latest date-night outfit included a sophisticated take on the rugged outer layer, which we duplicated with a budget-friendly style for less than $32.

During an evening in London with fiancé Travis Kelce, Swift slipped a black leather trench coat over a lace-trimmed black silk camisole and skirt. While her Toteme layer is undeniably chic, our nearly identical find features a similar texture across a faux leather base. With a button-up front and pointed upper collar, the style also features a sharp, streamlined effect.

Swift chose to pair her all-black coat and matching set with coordinating accessories: a set of heeled Celine sandals, a leather chainmail Rabanne handbag and a gleaming crystal Chanel necklace. We’d take a similar approach to styling our dark outer layer, which would look just as sharp with a silky top and skirt as it would with dark denim. The piece’s neutral color also makes it a perfect layer for a classic white top and blue jeans — and, like Swift, we’d slip on a pair of strappy sandals to bring the look an elevated touch.

Naturally, luxury versions cost thousands, but this $50 lookalike channels the style for less. On February 18, Hudson wore her […]

A leather coat like Swift’s is an “it girl” staple piece, beloved for its edgy texture and nostalgic nod to ‘90s fashion. The star is the latest to wear a version of the outer layer, which has also been spotted on Margot Robbie, Dua Lipa, and Rihanna in recent weeks, too. The most popular takes on the style feature a calf-length silhouette in dark shades of black, brown and deep green, making it versatile and easy to wear over and over again.

A coat like Swift’s is also a top trend for mid-season dressing. Light outer layers that can easily be removed if needed are ideal for wearing between spring and summer, as well as the summer and fall seasons. The affordable version we discovered is remarkably similar to luxe iterations on the market from labels like FRAME, Nour Hammour and Massimo Dutti as well, proving that of-the-moment style doesn’t require a high price tag.

Swift’s leather coat is one we’re especially glad we found a budget-conscious take on. The textured piece has a classic silhouette that’s easy to layer atop any ensemble, as well as style from day to night. With a sleek finish and sharp collar, the piece brings outfits that dynamic, elusive “it girl” edge that’s sure to instantly enhance your wardrobe from season to season. Take it from Swift: this is one outer layer that never goes out of style.

A disturbing case out of West Palm Beach is drawing widespread attention after police say a 29-year-old Florida man turned a Mother’s Day family moment into a violent attack that left his grandmother fighting for her life. Keo Nottage Jr. is now facing serious charges after authorities allege a simple request to help carry groceries inside escalated into a brutal stabbing inside the family’s home.

Groceries Request Turns Into Deadly Family Outburst

According to an arrest affidavit, the situation began when Nottage was inside the residence while his grandmother and cousin returned from a grocery trip for a planned Mother’s Day dinner. The cousin reportedly asked him to help bring items inside, which allegedly triggered his anger. Investigators say Nottage became agitated and declared, “someone is going to die today,” before grabbing a kitchen knife and attacking his grandmother multiple times. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic and horrifying, with one family member yelling, “You stabbed my f—ing grandma!” after witnessing the repeated strikes.

Violence Escalates As Nottage Allegedly Chases Witness Outside

The affidavit further states that after the stabbing, Nottage allegedly turned aggressive toward others in the home. While the cousin went outside to call for help, they told police they suddenly heard screams coming from inside the house. Upon re-entering, they reportedly saw Nottage holding the knife and their grandmother on the ground, but could not see her from the knees down. Fearing for their life, the cousin fled the home, jumped a fence, and contacted police, later reporting that Nottage chased them outside while allegedly shouting, “Do you want to fade? What the f— are you going to do?”

Nottage Taken Into Custody As Grandmother Remains Critical

Authorities say the violence did not end there, as Nottage allegedly pursued the cousin from the residence while still armed with the knife and making threats. Officers responded to the scene shortly after and took him into custody. He has since been charged with attempted murder with a deadly weapon and is being held without bond.
