Euphoria‘s newest episode dove deeper into Cassie’s OnlyFans career — with a topless Sydney Sweeney scene — and a return from Eric Dane‘s Cal.

During the Sunday, April 19, episode of the hit series, a flashback showed Cassie’s evolution into creating explicit content for subscribers. That included a sequence of Cassie’s photo shoots that ranged from her topless while licking ice cream to a skin-tight shirt that had the design of the American flag to her pretending to be an adult baby.

“Cassie was exactly the kind of girl you would dream of signing. Beautiful — but directionless,” Rue (Zendaya) said in a voiceover. “So desperate for attention that she was willing to humiliate herself.”

Cassie ultimately met up with Maddie (Alexa Demie), who agreed to work with her to build up her image — without Nate’s (Jacob Elordi) knowledge. Nate, meanwhile, reunited with his dad, Cal, who was described as a “broke sexual deviant who narrowly avoided prison.” The father-son reunion featured a conversation about whether Cal was or wasn’t gay before he gave Nate advice about Cassie’s OnlyFans career.

Before Euphoria returned for season 3 earlier this month, Sweeney, 28, spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about her evolving relationship with her body — and how it inspired her lingerie brand, Syrn.

“I grew up with boobs. I was wearing a 32DD in sixth grade, and I never felt confident,” Sweeney told Us. “I never had anything I felt good in, and I just wanted to hide. It wasn’t until [I played] Cassie in Euphoria that I started realizing it’s actually powerful to be confident; our bodies are incredible. We should embrace [them] and feel really good in our skin.”

Sweeney recalled facing challenges with the line.

WWE star Brock Lesnar has seemingly hung up his boots.

On the second night of WrestleMania, staged in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, on Sunday, April 19, Lesnar, 48, appeared to retire from the sport following his clash against Oba Femi which ended in under five minutes, per reporting by TMZ.

In a video shared by the official WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) Instagram account after the match, Lesnar was seen sitting inside the ring on his own as he removed his boots and gloves before symbolically placing them in the ring’s center. (Wrestlers “often signal their retirement by leaving their shoes on the mat following their final bout,” per NBC reporting.)

The video was captioned by the WWE, “What are you doing, Brock?!”

As Lesnar stood up to face the roaring crowd, he held his hands in the air, sparking an even louder cheer. The pro wrestler’s manager, Paul Heyman, was then seen stepping into the ring as Lesnar walked around, soaking up the stadium atmosphere.

Heyman, who shared the clip via his own social media account, then approached his client before the pair embraced and Heyman whispered audible words into Lesnar’s ear, kissed his cheek and affectionately patted his head.

Their embrace, which appeared to spring tears from Lesnar, was followed by Heyman raising Lesnar’s arm high into the air to encourage further applause before Lesnar took a bow.

Everyone could smell what Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was cooking when he entered the WWE ring for the first time in 11 years on Saturday, April 6, during the show’s main event. It looked like no time had passed when Johnson, 51, pinned Cody Rhodes on the mat during Night 1 of Wrestlemania 40 at […]

Lesnar boasts his own pro wrestling achievements, serving as a former three-time universal champion and UFC heavyweight champion among other prestigious titles.

Lesnar also attracted headlines in January 2024 when he was named in a sexual misconduct lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant, who alleged that former WWE executive Vince McMahon requested that she make “personalized sexual content” for Lesnar among other allegations.

Lesnar was, however, not listed as a defendant in the lawsuit and did not publicly address the filing. McMahon has repeatedly denied all allegations of wrongdoing against him, and according to an April report by the U.K.’s Independent, is fighting the suit while reportedly attempting to return to WWE.

Eddie Murphy has been awarded the prestigious American Film Institute Life Achievement Award, a recognition reserved for artists whose work has left a lasting mark on the world of film. From rising as a star on “Saturday Night Live” to appearing in box office hits, Murphy’s career spans decades of influence, reinvention, and lasting cultural impact.

Eddie Murphy’s Special Moment

On April 18, entertainers gathered at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles to celebrate the career of Eddie Murphy, who was honored with the AFI Life Achievement Award, which is given to artists whose “work has stood the test of time,” per the organization.

The audience, which consisted of Murphy’s friends, family, and peers, gave a standing ovation as the 65-year-old actor walked to the podium to receive his award. “Seeing all of my family, all my kids, my beautiful wife, and seeing all the different people I worked with, I’m just really filled up,” Murphy said.

Filmmaker Spike Lee presented the award to the actor, and among those in attendance were Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Arsenio Hall, Tracy Morgan, and Kevin Hart.

“This is a special moment. I wish y’all could feel what I’m feeling, see what I’m seeing. I almost teared up. I’m going to get backstage and cry,” said Murphy.

Mike Myers Appeared As Shrek

Mike Myers, Murphy’s longtime friend and co-star on the “Shrek” franchise, was among those who honored the comedian. Donning a black suit with a bowtie paired with swamp green makeup and Shrek ears, Myers took the stage to say a few words about his friend.

“None of ‘Shrek’s success could have happened without Eddie Murphy,” said Myers, adding that Murphy’s character in the franchise, Donkey, is a “masterpiece.” He then described the actor, saying, “Lovable, hilarious, joyous, vulnerable, and loyal. Eddie combines all of those in a tour de force, and plainly put, Eddie is one of the greatest.”

The first “Shrek” movie was released in 2001, and three more movies have come out since. Murphy and Myers will reunite once again as Shrek and Donkey in the fifth installment, which is slated for release in 2027. In 2025, Murphy also confirmed that a Donkey spinoff was in the works, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Dave Chappelle Referred To Eddie Murphy As His Hero

Comedian Dave Chappelle also honored Murphy, saying that among the people whom he looked up to, he was the only one left. “You were the hero I worried about… It was you, Michael Jackson, Rick James, and Prince. All of whom are deceased, and somehow, you survived it,” Chappelle said. He shared that as a teen, he watched Murphy’s 1987 stand-up comedy film “Raw” daily after getting home from school.

Chappelle also shared a glimpse of the depth of their relationship, revealing that he visited the actor shortly after his 65th birthday on April 3. The comedian worked with Murphy’s late brother, Charlie Murphy, on “The Chappelle Show,” and it was the first time the two discussed Charlie since he passed away from leukemia in 2017.

Murphy urged Chappelle to do “The Chappele Show” movie, and it seems the latter is open to the idea but admitted that it “would be tough” without Charlie. “So Eddie, if I do it, man, do the Charlie parts and let’s f-cking go,” the comedian said.

Stevie Wonder Made A Surprise Appearance

Music legend Stevie Wonder surprised the audience with an appearance, sharing that he first came to know about Murphy due to his impersonation of him on “SNL.” “He made fun of a blind man,” Wonder said jokingly to the crowd.

On a more serious note, Wonder said, “It’s not easy to make people smile, trying to get them to look on the brighter side, but Eddie has a way of getting in our head and hearts to create a belly laugh that eases the pain, builds the bridge, and diffuses a situation that makes a real difference.”

Murphy’s most notable impression of Wonder was in the 1982 “SNL” sketch, where he sang a duet with Joe Piscopo as Frank Sinatra. In 1983, Murphy and Wonder appeared together in a sketch in which the former played a Stevie Wonder impersonator coaching the real Stevie Wonder to impersonate himself.

Eddie Murphy’s Decades-Long Career

Murphy started in the comedy scene in his teens, and his career skyrocketed when he was cast on “SNL” in December 1980. In the years following, his stand-up comedy specials helped cement his reputation as one of the best comedians of his generation.

From there, Murphy transitioned to movies, starring in films such as “48 Hrs.,” “Beverly Hills Cop,” and “Coming to America,” “The Nutty Professor,” and the “Shrek” movies. Despite being known for his comedy chops, the actor has also taken serious roles in films, including the character of Jimmy “Thunder” Early in the movie “Dreamgirls,” which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Murphy has a slew of projects in the works, including a fifth installment of “Beverly Hills Cop,” the Donkey spin-off film, and producing a George Clinton biopic.

“The 51st AFI Life Achievement Award: A Tribute to Eddie Murphy” will be available to stream on Netflix on May 31.

Amy Duggar King and her husband, Dillion King, are fiercely protective of their 6-year-old son, Daxton.

“We can’t shield you from the whole world, but we will protect your world fiercely,” Amy, 39, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, April 19, alongside a photo of her son. “Your safety, your steadiness and the life we’re building around you.”

She continued, “Dad and I will never be passive about who we allow near you. Not everyone deserves a place in your story.”

Without detailing the inspiration of her post, Amy made it clear that her son’s privacy was a top priority.

Amy King (née Duggar) said she is “sickened, heartbroken and deeply angry” after learning of cousin Joseph Duggar’s arrest. “My first thoughts are with the victim, a child who deserved to be safe, protected and surrounded by people she could trust,” King, 39, told Us Weekly in a statement on Friday, March 20. “The courage […]

“We are the gatekeepers of their safety, their peace and their innocence. And we shouldn’t open doors just because someone expects us to,” she captioned her upload. “Access is earned, not assumed. It should be a privilege for someone to know your child, it’s not a right! And peace at home is worth more than approval from anyone outside of it.”

Amy’s family has recently gone through strife after her cousin Joseph Duggar was arrested for unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Joseph, 31, was arrested in Arkansas on March 18, following allegations that he molested a 9-year-old child in Florida in 2020. The victim, now 14, claimed in a police statement that the Counting On alum “eventually apologized for his actions” at the time before the incidents stopped.

Two days later, Joseph and wife Kendra Duggar were each booked for four counts of child endangerment. The charges were unrelated to Joseph’s sexual misconduct claims.

Kendra, 27, was released on bail within hours of her arrest. Joseph was extradited to Florida two weeks later, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges before being released on a $600,000 bond.

Amy, who is the niece of Joseph’s father Jim Bob Duggar, broke her silence shortly after her cousin was taken into custody.

“My first thoughts are with the victim, a child who deserved to be safe, protected and surrounded by people she could trust,” she told Us Weekly in a statement last month. “The courage it took for her to come forward, especially after years of carrying something so heavy, cannot be overstated. That bravery deserves to be honored above all else.”

Amy has long been touted as the “black sheep” of the Duggar family since she wasn’t raised to follow the same strict guidelines. She had also been distant from Joseph and Kendra, who share four children, ahead of the scandal.

“I haven’t seen or heard from Jo in about 5 years,” Amy revealed in a March 23 social media post. “That doesn’t mean I didn’t still love him and want the best for him. I don’t think people understand how much time I spent with them and countless hours filming. I grew up over there [at his parents’ house].”

Christine Quinn’s estranged husband, Christian Dumontet, is seeking sole ownership of their once-joint home in Los Angeles.

Dumontet, 47, filed court documents on Friday, April 17, and obtained by Us Weekly, asking for control over the property in order to sell it and pay off the mortgage.

According to Dumontet, he wants to sell the house to “stop the ongoing financial loss associated with maintaining a non-income-producing asset.”

Dumontet said he purchased the residence months before he married Quinn, 37, in 2019, and now has a $3.5 million balance on his mortgage loan. He alleged the house has cost him $400,00 a year to maintain.

Phillip Faraone/Getty Images Christine Quinn’s estranged husband Christian Dumontet is making more claims about his ex as their messy divorce continues. Dumontet, 44, asked a superior court judge in Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 20, to amend the temporary restraining order against him by Quinn, 35, Us Weekly can confirm. According to court documents, Dumontet (who […]

“This is not sustainable,” Dumontet wrote in his filing. “I require immediate court intervention to stop this financial hemorrhaging.”

Dumontet and Quinn, who share 4-year-old son Christian, separated in 2024. Dumontet was ordered to move out of the house after the Selling Sunset alum was granted a temporary restraining order in March 2024 after Dumontet’s two arrests. (Dumontet was arrested following an alleged domestic violence altercation, released on bond and arrested hours later for breaking the TRO.)

In Dumontet’s April court documents, he claimed that he wasn’t able to “regain the ability to act with respect” to the house until September 2025. Once his home access was restored, Dumontet began repairing, renovating and preparing the house for sale that allegedly cost him thousands of dollars.

Dumontet, who stated that he has since moved to France with his new girlfriend and their 12-month-old son, now wants to sell the house to use the funds to cover his reported debt.

In the filing, Dumontet stressed that neither he nor Quinn live in the house and it doesn’t generate any income.

“[Quinn] has never made any financial contribution to the [home], whether toward the purchase price, mortgage payments, carrying costs, maintenance, or otherwise,” the filing reads, with Dumontet allegedly paying “exuberant costs to keep” the home that caused him “irreparable financial harm.”

Dumontet stated that Quinn is “not on the hook” for any debt the house accumulates.

“I alone am suffering this harm, and without court intervention, I will continue to,” he added.

Dumontet’s request for an emergency order was denied while the house went back on the market Saturday, April 18, for almost $7.5 million.

Amid her divorce, Quinn moved to Texas with her son.

“I am really, really grateful to be living here,” the reality TV star told People in January 2025. “[It’s a blessing to] be close to my family. I have a sister who lives really close to me, and my son has a cousin.”

She added, “I found a wonderful house. I would say it’s, like, 60 percent done, but there’s still some things that I want to do and really take it to the next level because I love interior design.”

There’s a reason why Pete Davidson was not featured in the documentary about Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels.

“I interviewed so many people for the film, and at a certain point, after I’d interviewed [John] Mulaney and he had said everything he had said, I just didn’t know where we were gonna put more voices,” director Morgan Neville told People in an interview published on Saturday, April 18. “It just felt like it was full, you know?”

Neville noted that Davidson, 32, was not available when they first started filming the documentary, recalling that he didn’t know “where anything’s gonna fit” with all the SNL alums participating.

“That was the hard part,” Neville said. “It was like an embarrassment of riches, that you could interview a thousand people about Lorne Michaels. So many people have stories.”

Pete Davidson got candid about why he thought some of his Saturday Night Live costars found his success “annoying” before he left the show. “You got to remember [that] everyone there did Second City improv, [they] worked so hard — so hard,” Davidson, 31, said during the Wednesday, August 13, episode of Power 105.1 FM’s […]

Neville also hoped to focus more on Michaels, 81, rather than celebrities like who he crossed paths with.

“I was just trying to distill his essence into a film,” he said. “A lot of those stories are not about Lorne, they’re about those people.”

“I just wanted to make sure I was staying on Lorne’s story and not other people’s stories,” he continued. “Because there are stories everywhere and it’s huge. There are thousand-page books about the show. So, it’s really just trying to get that essence of what makes him tick that I was just zeroed in on.”

Davidson has been candid through the years about his relationship with Michaels. In the 2025 documentary SNL50: Beyond Saturday Night, Davidson recalled calling for a meeting with Michaels after his first year on the show.

Davidson ultimately remained on the show for eight seasons, before his exit in 2022.

“I appreciate SNL always having my back and allowing me to work on myself and grow,” he said during his final Weekend Update appearance on the season 47 finale. “Thank you to Lorne for never giving up on me or judging me even when everyone else was and for believing in me and allowing me to have a place that I could call home with memories that will last a lifetime.

A Taylor Swift-obsessed influencer has claimed she makes up to $10,000 per social media post.

According to a report by the New York Post, published on Saturday, April 18, full-time influencer Olivia Levin has scored the significant sum on multiple occasions. “It ranges, sometimes it’s $1,000, but sometimes it’s like $10,000,” Levin, 26, told the outlet.

Levin’s @SwiftiesForEternity Instagram account boasts more than 630,000 followers and is even followed by Travis Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, Swift’s soon-to-be mother-in-law. (Swift, 36, and the NFL star, also 36, announced their engagement in August 2025 after nearly two years of dating.)

Levin, based in Connecticut, shares fan sightings of Swift via her Instagram account as well as Swift-related social media content, commentary on Swift’s public outings, interactions with fellow Swifties, memes focused on Swift and updates on Levin’s own life.

Swift and Kelce broke the internet in September 2023 when they confirmed their romance by the Grammy winner watching Kansas City Chiefs play the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri. […]

Her prominence as a Swiftie influencer even landed her a book deal. Levin’s debut novel, “The Story of Us: How the Taylor Swift Fandom Changed Our Lives,” was released on Tuesday, April 14.

In a social media post from September 2025 that announced the book’s release, Levin wrote, “The Story of Us is my love letter to you, the Swifties, who gave me purpose, friendship, and a kind of joy I didn’t even know was possible.”

Levin continued at the time, “If you’ve been here from the beginning, get ready to revisit the eras, the livestreams, the chaos, the inside jokes, the happiness, the fun, and the magic. If you’re newer here, welcome. I hope reading this book makes you feel like you were part of it all along.”

The influencer told the New York Post that her social media career began after she was laid off from her job in the book publishing industry in 2023. “At a certain point, I stopped looking for 9-to-5 jobs because I met my brand partnerships agent who started getting me brand deals,” she said.

Her foray into influencing coincided with the launch of Swift’s Eras Tour which kicked off in Glendale, Arizona on March 17, 2023. The timing was perfect as she quickly boosted her profile by helping other Swifties secure Eras Tour tickets without being scammed online.

“People who had extra tickets or couldn’t make it any more would message me and I would verify the tickets and post them and help them transfer it to another fan at face value,” she told the outlet.

Today, Levin’s posts draw solid engagement, including the September 2025 book deal announcement which attracted support from @kelcebrothers, another prolific Swiftie fan account. “Congratulations Olivia!!!,” the account, which boasts more than 744,000 followers of its own, commented on Levin’s exciting news.

Natalie Portman has rarely opened up about motherhood through the years, but with a third baby on the way, the Oscar winner is sharing more than ever about parenting, pregnancy and what family means to her.

Portman confirmed to Harper’s Bazaar in April 2026 that she and boyfriend Tanguy Destable are expecting their first baby together. (Portman and Destable each have two children from previous relationships.)

“Tanguy and I are very excited,” Portman told the outlet. “I’m just very grateful. I know it’s such a privilege and a miracle. I grew up hearing about how hard it is to get pregnant. I have so many people I love who’ve had such a hard time with it that I want to be respectful around that as well. It’s such a beautiful, joyous thing, and it’s also not an easy thing.”

She continued, “I know how lucky it is. I’m very aware, and I’m very grateful. I have deep appreciation and gratitude.”

Watching Her Kids Grow Up

Since her divorce, Natalie Portman has started to speak more candidly about her role as a mom. She shares son Aleph and daughter Amalia with ex-husband Benjamin Millepied.

“My kids are always a source of excitement, because you just see them develop into the individuals they are,” she told Jenna Ortega in an Interview magazine profile published in April 2025. “And also, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my friends, with their kids and my kids; that’s pretty fun.”

Portman also subtly addressed her ex when asked whether having kids helped her find a “balance” between her professional and private lives.

“Having kids, that wasn’t really my motivation,” she said. “I was just excited to have kids, and with a person that I was in love with. But it’s really important to have people in your life who keep you on the ground.”

Navigating Pregnancy in the Spotlight

This isn’t Portman’s first time experiencing the scrutiny that comes with a high-profile pregnancy, recalling the unwanted comments she received while attending the 2011 Oscars during her first pregnancy.

“Everyone was like, ‘Oh, you’re going to pop.’ I was like, ‘I’m four months pregnant,’” Portman recalled on the “Dish From Waitrose” podcast in May 2025. “Everyone was like, ‘You must be giving birth tomorrow. Hope it doesn’t happen on the red carpet.’ I was like, ‘I’ve got five more months to go.’”

She added at the time, “I couldn’t drink at all during all of those events, which was hard. It’s a lot of stress. It’s a lot of attention. … And I was sober while everyone else was not.”

Portman further joked she was “probably the only actress eating my way to the Oscars” that year. In February 2011, she took home the Best Actress Oscar for her role as Nina Sayers in Black Swan months before giving birth to son Aleph that June.

How Pregnancy With Baby No. 3 Is Different

While speaking with Harper’s Bazaar in April 2026, Natalie Portman compared her pregnancy with her third baby to when she was expecting Aleph and Amalia.

Yellowstone‘s Marshals spinoff has already featured guest appearances from country stars — but who does musician Riley Green play?

During the Sunday, March 8, episode of the Yellowstone spinoff, Cal (Logan Marshall-Green) and Andrea (Ash Santos) shared a drink at the local bar — the Four Sixes — country singer Ashley Cooke performed her song “Next to You” on stage.

Ahead of Cooke’s surprise cameo, it was announced that Green, 37, will appear in multiple episodes later in the season.

“I’m so excited to be joining the cast of Marshals. Being on set with my buddy Luke Grimes made the experience even more memorable,” Green said in a statement in February. “This is my first go around in the acting space and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to this world.”

Green will play former Navy SEAL Garrett, who arrives at the ranch hoping to lean on his friends Kayce Dutton (Grimes) and Cal to help “put the demons of his past to rest,” according to the official character description.

“It happened really organically. It was through Luke Grimes, who’s become a real good buddy of mine,” Green told People earlier this month about how his role on the show came to be. “He’s starting his music career and was starting to come to Nashville and doing some cowriting and stuff. I was trying to help him out in that world a little bit with some people that I knew. He was like, ‘Man, you should try acting, you know? I think you’d be good at it.’ I was already kind of putting thought into that.”

Green recalled everyone being “so welcoming” to him on set as he balanced acting and performing.

“A lot of my music career, other than writing new songs and adding things to a set, there’s a lot of monotony of playing the same songs over and over again, showing in and out during a tour,” he shared. “This is something that’s brand new every day.”

“He’d been through a lot and had a lot of problems and that’s not the easiest thing to just jump into,” Green noted. “I certainly think there would have been characters that would have been easier for me to sort of tap into that were more similar to me.”

He continued: “This guy was somebody that really had a lot of deep emotional problems from things that had happened to him in the past. And when you haven’t lived those, you really kind of just rely on feedback from other people in the room.”

Marshals airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.
