Hilary has sent her Millennial fan base into a frenzy since marking her return to music with the 2025 single “Mature.”
Months later, according to The Blast, Hilary performed songs from her album, one of which is titled “We Don’t Talk.”
The track utilizes a sample from Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know,” featuring lyrics that listeners immediately linked to her relationship with Haylie.
“Don’t know when it happened / Not even sure what it was about,” Hilary sang during a recent performance at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. “’Cause we come from the same home, same blood.”

She continued, “People ask me how you’re doing / I wanna say amazing, but the truth is that I don’t know / What I always end up saying is how … We don’t talk, we don’t talk about it / We don’t talk about anything anymore.”

Hilary Duff Is Impacted By Her Clearly Strained Relationship with Her Sister

While it’s unclear exactly what went down between the two famous sisters, E! News reported that the “Material Girls” stars haven’t been seen together since 2019.
Furthermore, the digital footprint of their bond has all but vanished, with little to no social media interaction between the pair in recent years.
In an interview with CBS Mornings, Hilary got candid about the song, admitting that “We Don’t Talk” is “definitely about my sister.”
Speaking with Anthony Mason, the Disney alum called their strained relationship the “most lonely part of my existence.”
Hilary—whose previous studio effort dropped in 2015—admitted she initially hesitated to address her family dynamics through song before ultimately deciding to stand by her “truth.”

Who Else Did Hilary Duff Sing About In Her Latest Project?

According to The Blast, Hilary also got candid about her relationship with her father, Bob Duff, singing in the song “The Optimist,” that she wished her “father would really love me.”
In an earlier interview, Bob reflected on the dissolution of his marriage to Susan Duff, alleging that the split stemmed from his ex-wife’s total consumption “with the girls’ careers.”
As for why Hilary is finally opening up about her personal life today, the “How I Met Your Father” actress said she “just felt ready.”
“That’s my family. Those are the people that affect you the most, take up the most space naturally as a human who’s born into something,” Hilary shared. “Just because you’re born into a family doesn’t mean that it always stays together. You can only control your side and your street.”

Hilary Gets Praise From Social Media Users

Another report from The Blast details the positive reaction Hilary received from social media users when she returned to the stage for one of her first concerts in years.
In a recently surfaced TikTok clip, Hilary is seen dancing to a viral sound while showcasing her glowing look and her signature flowing blonde hair. “18 years off, but we back baby!” she captioned the post.
“THAT GIRL! One of the only Disney queens who don’t look/didn’t go crazy,” someone wrote, while another shared, “She looks so good, she still looks the same, just more seasoned.”
Hilary Was Involved In ‘Toxic’ Mom Group Drama

Before that, Hilary was also in the headlines after reportedly bumping heads with fellow Disney Channel peer Ashley Tisdale.
Reports indicate that Tisdale penned a personal essay for “The Cut,” slamming a “toxic” circle of mom friends that reportedly included Hilary and Mandy Moore.
Hilary’s husband chimed in on the mom group drama, per The Blast, and slammed Tisdale himself, calling her “self-obsessed” and “tone deaf.”
Although Hilary has bypassed a direct response, she recently addressed the need to prune friendships that no longer serve her.
“I just always want my side of the street to be clean. You know what I mean? I don’t want to make anyone feel bad by my actions. I’d rather have a conversation about it,” she said.

23 Best Stand-Up Specials on Netflix Right Now (February 2026): Katt Williams and More
After a misleading 2023 New Yorker article claimed he had fabricated stories about racism in his previous stand-up specials, Hasan Minhaj took a beat before responding with a video corroborating his side of the story — complete with graphics.
In 2024, he returned to the stage with new stand-up material to defend his honor as a storyteller. “I got caught embellishing for dramatic effect,” he explains to the audience. “Same crime your aunt is guilty of over Thanksgiving.”
Minhaj is sharply intelligent, yet he exudes warmth and good humor as he tackles race, class and politics. He even defines a new sub-culture of Americans: “There’s white America. There’s Black America. Then there’s Beige-istan. That’s just everybody. Indians, Latinos, Filipinos, wherever the f*** Bruno Mars is from. Beige-istan.” Minhaj holds nothing back, skewering both the left and the right with scathing, yet undeniably accurate, observations.
Hasan Minhaj: Off With His Head is streaming on Netflix.

Netflix’s Chaotic, R-Rated Comedy Is A Perfect Cult Classic In The Making
By Robert Scucci
| Published

Every once in a while, Netflix surprises me with an independent film like 2025’s Bunny and makes me wonder why there aren’t more films like this in its catalog. A low-budget feature that thrives on chaotic characterization rather than flashy production values, Bunny is what you get if you take the dialogue from Clerks (1994) and the escalating mishaps from The Big Lebowski (1998), add a dead body to the equation, and rely on the most reliably insane people you know to get rid of it.
There’s not a single second in Bunny that isn’t chaotic, but every character is so effortlessly unhinged you can’t help but root for them. There isn’t much to the story on paper, yet Bunny earns its keep through facial expressions, those “dude, no” moments, and the kind of friendship that can only exist in a run-down apartment building that’s somehow always crawling with police officers at the worst possible time.
The Business, And The Body

Bunny (Mo Stark), our titular hero, is the most nonchalant hustler you’ll ever see committed to film, and his laid-back, carefree attitude makes him a modern-day version of The Dude. He illegally sublets his apartment as an Airbnb to make a quick buck and does everything he can to accommodate his guests. His most recent guest, Happy Chana (Genevieve Hudson-Price), is an Orthodox Jew about to meet her future husband who can’t use electricity on Shabbat, for example.
Occupying one of the neighboring units is Linda (Linda Rong Mei Chen), who’s presumably living in the US illegally, prompting officers Nadov (Liz Caribel Sierra), Cellistino (Ajay Naidu), and Belle (Michael Abbott Jr.) to linger nearby. It doesn’t help that Bunny regularly engages in criminal activity, seems more agitated than usual on this particular day, and the cops are clearly biding their time until they can catch him doing something illegal and slap a set of cuffs on him.

We’re also introduced to a slew of colorful characters, including Bobbie (Liza Colby) and her estranged father, Loren (Tony Drazan), who unexpectedly shows up, wracked with anxiety and promptly given a cocktail of drugs by Dino (Ben Jacobson), Bunny’s best friend.
As each character enters the frame, like Ciel (Kia Warren), who just wants to watch TV and smoke some pot, much to Happy Chana’s chagrin, everybody keeps commenting on the other awful smell cutting through the building. When a dead body is found in one of the units, Bunny and the rest of the gang scramble to figure out how to get rid of it fast while drawing as little attention to themselves as possible. The problem is that the cops are always waiting outside. Fortunately, they’re easily distracted by food recommendations from Bunny, Dino, and the rest of the crew, which buys them time on more than one occasion.
Everybody Is Reliably Sketchy

You know how every friend group has that one person who either knows a guy, has a hookup, or floors everybody with a story about the insane hijinks they got into the night before? Every single character in Bunny is that person. Everybody is reliably sketchy. They aren’t bad people, but you never once question why they’re living the way they are or how they process this situation in their own offbeat ways.
Most importantly, the building in Bunny is a judgment-free zone. Everybody knows everybody else is kind of a screwup or at least someone who made a few severely misguided decisions in the past, forcing them to live under the radar and on their own terms. When the body is discovered, everyone becomes a team player and quickly cobbles together a plan with more holes than they realize, yet they still try their damndest to get it off the property undetected no matter how many obstacles stack up against them.

If you grew up on dialogue-heavy indie films where one thing goes wrong after another, Bunny should be your next watch the next time you fire up Netflix. It’s one of the most chaotic movies I’ve ever seen in at least a decade. It’s rare for me to say this, but it’s also one of those movies so specific in its characterization, conflict setup and resolution, and overall vibe that I’ll probably revisit it once or twice a year for the foreseeable future.

Bunny is currently streaming on Netflix, and it’s the best movie from last year that you probably haven’t seen. This is a modern cult classic in the making if I’ve ever seen one. We just need time to prove it.

‘The Pitt’ Is About to Rewrite Chaos After Its Most Unexpected Blow 7 Hours Later
Editor’s note: The below contains spoilers for The Pitt Season 2 Episode 7 and mentions sexual assault.
Back in the not-quite olden days, television doctors performed the same tedious work as their real-world counterparts — like filling out patient charts by hand. Choose any episode of, say, ER, and although computers existed, pens, clipboards, and the occasional pocket protectors ruled the ’90s. What now seems as outdated as the dinosaurs was a habitual fact of life, and in TV terms, there was almost always a method to the figurative madness (even when they epitomized the joke about physicians having indecipherable handwriting).
The Pitt‘s creator, R. Scott Gemmill, has recently confirmed that the streaming sensation’s sophomore season won’t retread the same intense ground as Season 1’s mass shooting. That disclaimer doesn’t preclude Episode 7 from ending with the staff trapped in a different crisis. The betting pool has spent episodes giddily speculating about what caused their sibling hospital to close its doors. They learn the answer the hard way: a targeted cyberattack has shut down not one, but two local hospitals, prompting Pittsburgh Trauma to indefinitely shut down their entire electronic infrastructure as a preventive measure. Plunging the ER’s relative normalcy into the analog days couldn’t have worse timing.
‘The Pitt’s Struggling Staff Don’t Need More Stress in Season 2
Proactively protecting their system is quite understandable, but it’s still an uncoordinated and reckless move. CEO Trent Norris (Victor Rivers) upends the hospital’s entire structure without informing Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) in advance. He doesn’t consult his primary attending about the current workflow, let the staff prepare, or (for now) offer them assistance. Instead, his staff either scramble or stare like stunned deer in the headlights.
Without swift communication between the interconnected departments or access to their online-only information logs, The Pitt‘s crew is now working with their hands tied behind their backs. For one, it’ll be far tougher to divide their time, let alone distribute thorough care, between their existing patient roster and the continuing influx of overflow cases. Secondly, they’re already juggling too many perilous situations: Louie Cloverfield (Ernest Harden Jr.) passing away, Roxie Hamler’s (Brittany Allen) terminal cancer, Jackson Davis (Zack Morris) and his family, and Dana Evans (Katherine LaNasa) collecting forensic samples for Ilana Miller’s (Tina Ivlev) rape kit.
Without Technological Support, the Lives of ‘The Pitt’s Patients Are at Risk
The veterans, such as Dana, Robby, and Dr. Jack Abbot (Shawn Hatosy), can dislike the setback but easily revert to the familiar stopping grounds in which they share decades of cumulative experience; they’ve adapted to the times before. For the younger crowd who don’t know other processes, it’s a steep learning curve that their expensive education had probably ignored. Once again, the current generation has been flung out of a taxing day’s frying pan straight into another fire, all while their destructive internal conflicts writhe in the background.
Mel King (Taylor Dearden) is petrified senseless about her looming disposition, Victoria Javadi’s (Shabana Azeez) parents keep popping in to leave contradictory feedback, and when she’s not arguing with her spam-caller mom, Samira Mohan (Supriya Ganesh) feels distraught about Orlando Diaz (William Guirola) leaving her care. As for poor Trinity Santos (Isa Briones), she might just fall to pieces racing through her charting backlog, paying attention to her ongoing patients, guiding the new trainees, and avoiding Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball). Learning and successfully implementing a new routine on the fly leads to information overload. Accidents become inevitable once someone’s distracted stress heightens — and oversights can be deadly.
LaNasa and Ball also discuss Dana’s lingering trauma and Langdon’s post-rehab journey.
Modern technology, at its best, provides vital tools. Breakthrough advancements in speedier exams and illness detection turn former impossibilities into remarkable realities. Simultaneously, technology over-dependence is a slippery slope, no matter the context. Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi’s (Sepideh Moafi) favorite generative AI program aims to reduce unnecessary overtime hours — a way of improving the system from the inside. Given the need to verify the app’s wildly incorrect information, however, the hospital is better off without the extra time consumption — and potential harm — it causes. Some old-fashioned ways worked for reliable reasons. For The Pitt Season 2, the time, the place, and the people can’t afford to be thrown into more chaos.

‘American Idol’ Alum Caleb Flynn Makes First Court Appearance, Video
‘American Idol’ Caleb Flynn
Says He’s ‘Not A Risk’ In First Court Appearance
Published
“American Idol” alum Caleb Flynn appeared in court on Friday after being charged with murdering his wife … and he’s standing by the fact that he just wants to care for his two daughters, who were allegedly asleep in another room during the time of the killing.
Flynn remotely stepped foot into Miami County Municipal Court for his arraignment, where he is seen on video emphasizing to the judge he just wants to “take care of his daughters” … and in terms of being a flight risk, he adds “I’m not a risk” while holding back tears.
His lawyer is heard in the video — even though it’s a bit hard to hear — saying Flynn’s entering a plea of not guilty and asking for a preliminary hearing to be scheduled for late February.
As we’ve previously reported … Flynn was arrested Thursday on charges of murder, assault and tampering with evidence in connection with the fatal shooting of his wife Ashley in their Tipp City home, just north of Dayton.
The Dayton Daily News obtained a police affidavit, stating the couple’s two daughters were home at the time of the shooting, but did not wake up and were still in their bedroom when police arrived on scene. The family’s two dogs were also in the house during the shooting, according to the docs.
Police say Caleb shot Ashley in the head but tried to cover up the murder by trying to make it look like a fatal home invasion burglary. Cops found Ashley in bed with at least one gunshot wound to the head and two spent shells on the floor nearby, the docs say.
Miami County Communication Center
TMZ obtained 911 audio, which revealed that Caleb made an emotional call to a dispatcher, claiming an intruder broke into their house and shot Ashley, who was “white as a ghost.” Police have not released a motive.
He is being held on a $2 million bond, and a preliminary hearing for Flynn is scheduled for February 26.

Asian Doll Shuts Down Folks Questioning Her Heritage
Rapper Asian Doll is sparking major conversations after revealing a personal family secret that has fans and followers talking. The Dallas-born artist, born Misharron Jermeisha Allen, claimed that she was
“forced” to grow up identifying as African American, even though her family quietly acknowledged their Native American heritage behind the scenes.

Asian Doll Spoke Her Truth Loudly
Since revealing details about her family heritage, Asian Doll has been clapping back at folks online who question her truth. While some fans are speculating whether Asian Doll has actual documentation to back up her claims, others insist that no matter what, she should still identify simply as Black. And, in a candid X post, she wrote:
“I never said I wasn’t Black I can’t speak my truth about something that went on in my house hold since before I was born it’s good to know where you truly come from & not ignore the fact that you have the right to know what’s in your blood its not right to yourself to just say I’m “Black” okay but what else is in your blood.”
Fans and critics alike have weighed in, with some claiming she wouldn’t be recognized by any tribe without documentation—but Asian Doll fired back, sharing a picture of her grandmother and insisting her family’s roots are real:
“My grandmother is full blood she is apart who can’t provide proof? I have family members living off the tribal benefits! How tf you gone tell who I am & you don’t even know me your flat out delusional,” she shared on X.
Asian Doll Won’t Let Anybody Mislabel Her
She continued the discussion across social media, pointing out how people often simplify complex identities.
“What’s funny is they don’t even care to find out, they just let them label them as ‘Black.’ At first, it was African American, but Africans said NOPE, e now it’s just BLACK smh,” she tweeted.
Addressing the backlash and frustration around the topic, she added, “& this is why we wasn’t allowed to speak on this because look the whole topic makes people mad because the truth hurts.” The conversation has fans both shocked and fascinated, as the rapper pushes back against misconceptions while shedding light on her family’s hidden history.
The Conversation Is Heating Up
Fans and followers quickly began weighing in TSR’s comment section, dissecting what Asian Doll shared and questioning how deep the family secret really goes. Some expressed support for her honesty, applauding her for finally speaking out. Meanwhile, others were shocked and curious about what this means for her family and potential tribal benefits.
This Instagram user @asstheticx3 said, “Arguing with strangers on the internet about your own ethnicity“
And, Instagram user @msxarface commented, “anyways happy black history month AGAIN“
Then Instagram user @starinthecity26 added, “Stop telling ppl who they are because you dont know your family history.“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @joniahthescientist shared, “So why she not named native doll“
While Instagram user @qdharealest_ wrote, “We honestly didn’t need to kno this 💯”
Lastly, Instagram user @prettygirl.plut0 said, “Arguing w ppl abt sum nobody asked 😂”
What Sparked All Of This?
Just a few days ago, Asian Doll took to social media and alleged that her mother had instructed the family to hide their Native roots as a way to protect benefits tied to their ancestry.
“My mother was always right about this Native Indian stuff going on right now, my whole life… I can’t believe we have been lied to & was FORCED to say we are African Americans when most of us knew in our hearts we wasn’t African Descent!”
The post has since gone viral, igniting debates across social media.
My mother was always right about this Native Indian stuff going on right now my whole life she told us what we was & told us not to never tell friends or the school the truth about our ethnicity (my mother been getting a check for her Indian roots our whole life) I can’t believe…

15 Beautiful Cocktail Dresses to Wear to Spring Weddings in 2026
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Picture this: you get invited to a friend’s wedding, book your ticket, snag a hotel room and order the gift. Those three purchases may already make a dent in your wallet — and yet, you still have to figure out what to wear. Finding a spring wedding guest dress may feel daunting, but it certainly doesn’t have to be. Depending on the dress code, you might want to consider a cocktail dress. They’re a wonderful semi-formal option that will take you from the ceremony to the dance floor with effortless ease.
Cocktail dresses tend to be a little less formal than black tie attire, usually consisting of midi lengths, luxurious fabrics and tons of color (especially for spring). In some cases, you can even get away with mini dresses, too! And because you won’t be flouncing around in a three-tiered gown, you’ll feel more comfortable and relaxed yet undeniably stylish — and these 15 cocktail dresses are proof. Score options from Quince, Lulus, Banana Republic and more, with prices all under $100.
15 Beautiful Cocktail Dresses to Wear to Spring Weddings in 2026
1. Our Favorite: Long maxi dresses are a bit like a chameleon — they can be jazzed up for weddings or toned down for romantic dinners. It’s one of many reasons why this satin-like dress deserves a spot in your closet. The mock-neckline, pretty pleats and cinched waist make it a fanciful, flattering option you’ll wear more than once.
2. Spring Staple: Florals for spring aren’t groundbreaking, but finding a patterned style as subdued as this one is. The floral mesh design overlays the solid strapless dress, giving it a beautifully layered look that feels old-money rich.
3. Halter Hero: The halter dress may have evolved since Marilyn Monroe made the style iconic in the 1950s, and yet, we can’t get over the va-va-voom style in 2026. This elegant midi plays up the legendary style with a conservative square neckline, long flowy skirt and an elongating basque waist that’s so flattering on the body.
4. Pretty Pleats: You’re sure to stun at every wedding when you don this pleated maxi dress that has a high-low skirt and fun cutout design that shows just the right amount of skin.
5. Polka Polka: New York Fashion Week called it: polka dots are officially ‘in’ again, and this slip dress delivers the style in the chicest way. It features small dots on a simple black canvas for a classic look that’s ideal for, say, the welcome dinner.
6. Clever Pick: Quince is known for delivering high-quality finds at surprisingly low prices, so yes, we personally love the brand. This midi dress instantly caught our eye due to the cool geometric-style neckline that’s complete with wide shoulder straps, which allows you to wear a classic bra. Yes, you read that right.
7. Princess Energy: Doesn’t this golden yellow dress feel like something Belle from Beauty and the Beast would wear in 2026? We sure think so. The Banana Republic pick has a regal warm hue, a drapey silhouette and interesting short sleeves for a unique touch on a classic.
8. Leg Lengthening Magic: Whoever said you can’t wear a mini dress to a wedding celebration is seriously mistaken. This long-sleeve satin design delivers all the high-end style you’re looking for, just with a shortened hem that makes legs go on for days.
9. Bow-Tastic: Bow details were pretty much everywhere last year, and we’re seeing a revival of the trend with Margot Robbie‘s looks for the Wuthering Heights press tour. This little number is all business in the front, but party in the back with a trio of horizontal bow straps.
10. Embrace the Whimsy: Whether you’re attending a spring garden wedding or a quaint backyard ceremony, this chiffon cocktail dress is one to have on hand. It’s more casual than the others on the list, however, this pick is still polished enough for the big day (and events after the fact).
11. Mermaid Maven: If you’re getting siren vibes from this popular Quince dress, you’re not alone. The rich green hue, scallop-like neckline and ruffle hem on the dress feel sumptuous and eye-grabbing. Plus, the silk-like fabric moves so nicely. . . almost like you’re under water.
12. Transitional Trick: Early spring weddings can be tricky to shop for — the weather could be warm and sunny or cold and damp. If you’re anticipating the latter, go with a long-sleeved dress that provides enough coverage to keep you warm(er). We also love the mod asymmetrical neckline, tummy-hiding ruching and high slit that shows off some leg.
13. Shopper Favorite: Curious what other shoppers are adding to their cart? You don’t have to wonder any longer because this off-the-shoulder number is it. With over 23,700 five-star ratings, it’s clear that this dress is one to consider for its versatility, comfort and style, per reviewers.
14. Quite the Charmer: Forget the shapewear! Made with body-skimming fabrics and a plissé texture, this maxi dress smooths over bumps and bloat like it’s nobody’s business. As you can imagine, the silky-soft dress is also incredibly comfortable for all-day (and night) wear.
15. Last But Not Least: We’re seeing dresses with accented hardware all over the internet, so if you want to get in on the trend, now’s the time to do it. This flattering cap-sleeve dress gives you the cool-girl brooch look since the silver buckle is built into the waist-cinching belt, drawing attention to that newfound hourglass look.
