On March 8, James’ wife Kimberly celebrated her late husband on what would have been his 49th birthday. She shared several photos and videos on Instagram Stories, expressing how she missed him “tremendously.”
James and Kimberly share six children: 15-year-old Olivia, 13-year-old Joshua, 12-year-old Annabel, 9-year-old Emilia, 7-year-old Gwendolyn, and 4-year-old Jeremiah.
In the series of posts, Kimberly shared glimpses of James’ life, sharing short videos and photos of their precious moments. The actor loved dancing with his children, going on outdoor adventures, and doing activities with them.

James Van Der Beek Loved Working On Their Ranch Home
In one video taken less than two years before James’ passing, he is seen clearing overgrowth. Kimberly noted, “Doing what he loved. Working this land.” In another video, the actor is shown placing wood panels on a wall. As Kimberly shared, her late husband loved “building things” for their home.
The Van Der Beek family moved from Los Angeles to Texas in 2020, and, as the couple shared, the decision was driven by their desire to give their children more space and be closer to nature.
They made renovations in the home, with James even sharing a video on TikTok in 2023 showcasing the progress they’ve made on the mudroom.

Emilia Van Der Beek’s Touching Tribute To Her Father
One of James’s daughters, Emilia, also recorded a video to honor her father’s first birthday after his death. As Kimberly noted, Emilia wanted to make a video post that she helped record, which she uploaded to her account.
The 9-year-old said, “The number one thing for somebody’s passing is to talk to them and let your emotions out,” she said, adding, “I talk to my dad every day. I start with a sentence, and I say, ‘Hi, Dad. I miss you and I love you so much, and I’ll never stop loving you.’”
Emilia also shared a touching message James told him, saying, “If this doesn’t work out the way he wanted it to and the way we wanted it to for him living, I still have to believe in miracles. Miracles can still happen, just later on in life, and they’ll keep coming.”

James Van Der Beek Said Fatherhood Changed Him
In 2023, shortly after sharing his cancer diagnosis, James shared with “Good Morning America” how fatherhood changed him. The actor said his life shifted, and his children became his first priority. “You know what you genuinely want is to take care of them, to make them feel safe, keep them safe to connect with and feel that joy,” he said.
After his diagnosis, Van Der Beek focused on spending quality time with his family while facing treatments and financial difficulties due to his illness.
Van Der Beek also raised awareness for colorectal cancer, sharing his experiences and opening conversations about the disease to encourage others to be proactive about their health.
James Van Der Beek’s Death

As previously reported by The Blast, James and Kimberly renewed their marriage vows shortly before the actor’s death. The simple ceremony included their children and close friends, with others joining via Zoom.

Kelsea Ballerini’s Exes, Chase Stokes & Morgan Evans, Feud Over Divorce Comments
Kelsea Ballerini‘s got the ex-factor! Her ex-boyfriend, actor Chase Stokes, is ex-changing words with Kelsea’s ex-husband, Morgan Evans … all over some comments Morgan made about their divorce.
So, this is apparently what started it … Morgan said he was surprised when he found out Kelsea wanted a split during an interview on Bobby Bones‘ podcast, ‘The BobbyCast.’
Chase took issue with Morgan’s first public comments about the divorce, commenting, “This is about the most pathetic excuse of masculinity I’ve ever seen. Get a f***ing life,” under a clip from the podcast.
But the host, Bobby, said he thought Morgan came off well in the interview. Bobby defended Morgan, describing him as being “very kind in his description and his version of events.”
Morgan later responded on Instagram with a series of photos depicting him doing things like carrying a small refrigerator and chopping wood, writing, “Feeling pretty masculine today.”
And we don’t know how Chase feels about the jab, but Bobby loved it.
“I laughed,” Bobby commented underneath the post.
Remember … Ballerini filed for divorce from Morgan in 2022. In 2023, she made her red carpet debut with Chase, going public with an on-again, off-again relationship that officially ended early this year.

Heather Graham Flaunts Bikini Wardrobe During Yoga Retreat
Heather Graham oozed body confidence while enjoying a yoga retreat in Tulum, Mexico.
The Boogie Nights actress, 56, took to Instagram on Sunday, March 8, to share glimpses of her recent beachside escape, rocking three bikinis as well as crimson-red activewear and flirty dresses.
“So grateful I got to go on a yoga retreat with the amazing @soukofrima_ and @mjmasala in beautiful Tulum,” she captioned her carousel. “It was so fun swimming, laying on the beach and dancing with you.”
In the post’s first frame, Graham paired a white string bikini with a wide-brimmed straw hat as she kicked her foot along the shore of a white-sand beach. The following photo captured her posing in a red string bikini with her hand placed on a hip.
The post drew praise from fans who took to her carousel’s comments section to express their thoughts. “Wow. Do you work out? You look fantastic!” wrote one fan, while another wrote, “Age like a fine fine wine!”
Another fan showed their approval by referencing one of Graham’s most famous films, 1999’s Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, sharing a meme of Mike Myers’ Austin and the text, “Liquid hot magma.”

Additional shots in the carousel showed Graham in a black-and-white striped bikini and a red crop top with matching red leggings as she practised a hand-to-foot yoga pose against an idyllic tropical backdrop. Her happy snaps also saw her lying on the sand, cozying up to various pals, dining in a restaurant and relaxing on a daybed with director Michele Civetta.
The carousel was shared less than two months after Graham posted photos from a visit to Saudi Arabia’s Joy Awards while on the arm of Civetta. Her January 20 Instagram post also showed the pair snuggled up together on their backs as they snapped a selfie.
Graham has long sizzled in barely there swimwear posts, even joining fellow actress Jane Seymour in June 2025 for a documented beach day in Sardegna, Italy. Seymour, 75, shared photos from their outing via her own Instagram account at the time, capturing Graham in a triangle black top equipped with halter straps and styled with low-waisted bottoms that tied in bows at the hips.
Graham recently got candid about her past romance with the late Heath Ledger, revealing during an interview for the October 13, 2025, episode of the “Are You a Charlotte?” podcast that she feels “proud” to have dated him. (Ledger died at the age of 28 in 2008 after an accidental drug overdose.)
“I was very in love with him when we dated,” Graham expanded, referencing her relationship with Ledger in 2000.

Marshals Recap: Spinoff Mentions Yellowstone Character After Death
Kayce Dutton’s Marshals spinoff featured a blink-and-you-miss-it mention of a deceased character from Yellowstone.
The Sunday, March 8, episode of the CBS series featured a tense conversation between Andrea (Ash Santos) and Kayce (Luke Grimes) where she grilled him about his brother Jamie’s (Wes Bentley) disappearance. Kayce wouldn’t give up any information about what happened to the other member of the Dutton family but the conversation confirmed that the public was still kept in the dark about the events in the Yellowstone series finale.
Jamie was originally introduced when the OG show premiered on Paramount Network in 2018. He was John Dutton’s (Kevin Costner) adopted son, which led to a complex relationship between the pair. Jamie was ultimately responsible for his father’s death earlier in the season — and that caused John’s daughter Beth (Kelly Reilly) to want to seek revenge on her brother.
In the series finale, which aired in December 2024, Beth waited for Jamie at his home following John’s funeral. She attacked her brother with bear spray and they got into a violent altercation before Beth let him know that she sold the Dutton Ranch for $1.1 million to the reservation.
Beth’s husband, Rip (Cole Hauser), arrived and got Jamie off of Beth — only for her to stab her brother to death. Rip then took Jamie’s body to the train station to hide the evidence as the hit series came to an end.
Executive producer Christina Alexandra Voros later broke down the details about what went into choreographing the fight scene.

“Obviously there are places where you will put in their doubles, who have also been with us from the beginning,” Voros told Variety that same month. “They’ve learned the way the actors move and have been studying that so you do have that element for places where you want to pull the pad out and someone has to hit the ground and Kelly has 12 more days of shooting and nothing can happen to her. But Kelly and Wes did the majority of that fight themselves.”
Voros continued: “Even if they are not taking a punch or throwing one, the energy it takes to keep in that space emotionally is exhausting. So I think what people don’t realize when they see that fight is yes, it looks real and bloody and gruesome, but just staying in that mindset of being this ferocious takes a great deal from the actors to stay in the headspace.”
At the time, Voros applauded Reilly, 48, and Bentley, 47, for their commitment to the scene.
“Forget about the milk and the bear spray and the stabbing and all that. That’s the easy part,” she said. “My kudos to Kelly and Wes for being able to keep in that extreme state of war emotionally throughout that scene.”
Marshals airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.

Rihanna’s House Hit by Gunfire Rounds While Singer Is Home
Rihanna’s Los Angeles mansion was reportedly hit by “multiple rounds” of gunfire while the singer remained inside the home.
According to a report by The Los Angeles Times on Sunday, March 8, Rihanna, 38, “was home” when a “suspect fired multiple rounds from inside her vehicle toward the celebrity’s home in Beverly Hills.” The outlet noted that a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed “a round penetrated a wall” of the home at 1:21 PM on Sunday.
Us Weekly has reached out to the LAPD for comment.
The outlet also stated that “no injuries” had been reported as a result of the incident and a 30-year-old female suspect had been taken into custody.
The report also detailed that a LAPD radio dispatch claimed that “approximately 10 shots” were fired at the residence from a “white Tesla” vehicle across the street from the property’s gate before it “fled” the scene.
Additional radio dispatch details heard by the outlet included that “the suspect’s hair was in braids,” “she wore a cream-colored blouse,” and “her car was dirty on the bottom.”
Officers reportedly “caught sight of” the vehicle and “followed it to a shopping center parking lot in Sherman Oaks, where they arrested” the suspect.
It is unclear if the singer was home with anybody else, including partner ASAP Rocky and the couple’s three children, sons RZA, 3, and Riot, 2, and daughter Rocki, 5 months.
Us Weekly has also reached out to a representative for Rihanna for comment.
Photos capturing yellow police crime scene tape strung across a leafy street were also published by TMZ on Sunday.
An additional report by NBC News stated details regarding the type of weapon allegedly involved in the incident, claiming that “an AR-15-style rifle” was engaged. The outlet also noted that “more information on the woman, including booking allegations, would be released Monday [March 9].”
LAPD’s “elite Robbery-Homicide Division” is currently investigating the incident, per NBC News.
Rihanna publicly hinted that she was open to expanding her brood in January, commenting on an Instagram Reel from Love Island alum Montana Rose Brown that showed the reality star contemplating, “whether to get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026.”
The “We Found Love” hitmaker wrote in the post’s comments section, “Wait! So I’m not crazy then? Bet!”
The comment was shared during the same month that ASAP, 37, spoke publicly about his adoration for Rihanna. “I got with a very special woman,” the fellow musician said during the January 15 episode of the New York Times’ “Popcast” podcast. “We’re on the same page. Born the same year. My dad is from her country. When I go back, I get to see both sides of my family. It’s so many similarities. We laugh about it a lot. She was always my boo.”

Olivia Culpo Feeds Her Hair to Coyotes to Keep ‘Baby’ Safe
Olivia Culpo is using offcuts of her hair to keep wild coyotes from stalking her pet dog.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, March 8, to detail her experience, Culpo, 33, revealed that she’d kept pieces of her hair from a recent cut to fend off threats that reside just outside her California home.
“I asked if I could take the hair we cut to sprinkle along my fence line to scare away the coyotes,” she wrote over a photo that captured her hair in a small plastic bag. “This is the level of insane dog mom I am but by the way, it works! The coyotes are everywhere and hungry.”
A subsequent Instagram Story featured footage of a coyote standing at the foot of her glass fence while peering into the model’s backyard. Culpo captioned it, “This video honestly still haunts me. A cute but hungry coyote … trying to eat my baby. And during the day.”
Culpo is fur mom to Oliver Sprinkles, an adopted Goldendoodle that she took in with her husband, NFL player Christian McCaffrey. The couple also share a human daughter, Colette, 8 months.
Culpo also shared footage of herself throwing her hair onto the surrounding grounds. “Yesterday I heard some rustling over here … not anymore. Coyotes, be gone,” she told fans in the clip.

According to Human Material Loop, an organization focused on sustainable innovation, “human hair has been used for centuries to repel animals and control pests in various ways.”
A doting mom to Oliver Sprinkles, Culpo created an Instagram account for her pup that’s attracted more than 30,000 followers. Prior to Culpo giving birth to her daughter, she shared a post in June 2025 that showed McCaffrey, 29, gazing adoringly at the pooch while cradling it on the couple’s back deck.
Another snap captured the athlete holding Oliver Sprinkles in his lap while seated on an aircraft.
Culpo recently opened up exclusively to Us Weekly about how her San Francisco 49ers star husband has adapted to fatherhood of the human variety. “I always knew he would be a really good dad because he’s a really good person,” Culpo told Us in January. “He has a really good example because his parents are great.”

Olivia Culpo’s Instagram Story Courtesy of Olivia Culpo/Instagram
She continued, “He will be such a good example and protector to her. I know that she’ll always be able to feel like she has someone who loves her more than anything. I feel like everybody deserves to feel that.”
Culpo evidently can’t help doting on her little one herself, sharing a collection of infant onesies via Instagram that supported the 49ers during the last NFL season. Several of the tiny creations even featured McCaffrey’s jersey number, 23, traced into the back of them.

Rachel Zoe’s Los Angeles Home Broken Into
Rachel Zoe‘s glam weekend in Las Vegas took a dark turn back home … ’cause TMZ has learned her Los Angeles house was broken into.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star’s Bel Air property was burglarized early Sunday morning while she was in Sin City for the opening of Zero Bond Las Vegas.
We’re told Zoe’s alarm company received an activation alert and the alarm company quickly notified police. Patrol units in the neighborhood responded and spotted two male suspects leaving the property. We’re told one of those suspects is in custody.
Our sources say no one was home during the break-in. It’s still unclear what — if anything — was taken.
We broke the story … Zoe’s “RHOBH” costars Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke were both burglarized last November while they were in Las Vegas for BravoCon. In fact, Kathy’s home is just a short walk from Rachel’s.
We’ve reached out to Zoe’s reps … so far, no word back.
