Love Is Blind’s Devonta Is Engaged Again, Expecting a Baby
Love Is Blind star Devonta Anderson had some big news to share at the season 10 reunion.
“I wanted to go into this to be a husband and a father, those were two of the most important things for me,” Devonta, 32, said during the reunion, which dropped Wednesday, March 11, on Netflix. “I got some exciting news that I am gonna be a father this year.”
Devonta further confirmed that he is engaged to his new partner, who does not live with him in Arizona. (Devonta lives in a house with Love Is Blind costar Alex Henderson.)
Devonta proposed to Brittany Wicker sight unseen during Love Is Blind season 10, which was set in Ohio. He notably struggled with his attraction to Brittany, 33, once they met in person. The couple ultimately called off their wedding days before their would-be ceremony.
“The more I’m clinged onto or the more I’m pressured, the harder I push back,” Devonta said in a confessional during the finale, which aired earlier this month. “She is sometimes like a shadow to me and sometimes I’m, like, ‘Just wait out there, I’ll be right back. I’m just going to change my shirt.’ It’s something I don’t want to keep dragging down the road if it’s not going to work out.”
According to Devonta, he had “self-doubt” about whether he could love Brittany in a way that she wanted from her husband.
Brittany was admittedly shocked by Devonta’s decision to end their engagement, but she still had hopes that they could date after Love Is Blind wrapped.
“I feel like we’re still together, and we’re just taking a slight pause on when we actually get married,” Brittany told Devonta on the show. “I think when it comes to you feeling more comfortable with a prenup. For me, say we would have got married today, I was willing to make adjustments to what I believe.”
She continued, “We’re still gonna be together. We’re still engaged. I do see [us] 100 percent marrying each other.”
While it appeared that Brittany was blindsided by Devonta’s decision, she actually could sense his wavering throughout their relationship.

“I think that [Devonta] was processing so much emotionally with the loss of his grandfather,” Brittany exclusively told Us Weekly last month, referring to Devonta questioning his pod participation after his grandpa died during production. “It would be, like, sometimes he was so in [and] ready to build this life together, and we were on the same page.”
While Brittany felt that she and Devonta were “very much in alignment” on their future, she did occasionally see pockets of doubt creep in.
“There would be days where he would just wake up and he was feeling the weight of the world and everything that was happening,” she recalled to Us. “I would feel that in return.”
Brittany also got to confront Devonta during Wednesday’s reunion, revealing that his “shadow” comments were “highly offensive.”
“He said that I was a ‘shadow,’ which I found very offensive because I gave him so much space, so much so, that I felt my love language was not being fulfilled,” she stated on Wednesday’s special. “[His comments were] highly confusing to me. … I feel like as soon as he walked out of my doors, he was done with the relationship and he just didn’t want to say that to me. He still dragged it out for weeks.”
When asked about Devonta’s baby news, Brittany added that she wasn’t “fazed by” the news and is currently single herself.
Love Is Blind season 10 is now streaming on Netflix.

Pussycat Dolls Reunite as Trio, Announce Tour and New Song
The Pussycat Dolls are back — this time as a trio!
Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt announced on Thursday, March 12, that they will undertake a 53-date tour of North America, Europe and the U.K. beginning in June.
The PCD Forever tour, featuring special guests Lil’ Kim and Mya, will kick off June 5 at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert, California, and conclude at The O2 arena in London on October 13.
The “Buttons” singers also dropped a new track, “Club Song,” their first in six years after an ill-fated 2019 reunion attempt.
The girl group originally hit the charts in 2005 as a six-piece, also featuring Melody Thornton, Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta. They enjoyed a string of international hits, including “Don’t Cha” and “When I Grow Up,” before going their separate ways in 2009.
In 2019, the Dolls, sans Thornton, reunited as a five-piece, releasing the song “React” and announcing a 2020 tour. The tour was ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The Pussycat Dolls have always been known for an ever-changing lineup,” Wyatt, 44, told the BBC in an interview on Thursday. “It just so happens that right now we’re in a space where we feel united and in a place where we’re ready to push forward. And this is the lineup now, for 2026, but you never know with the Pussycat Dolls what might come next.”
Scherzinger, 47, added, “After 20 years, you’re like, ‘Where is everybody?’ But for us, it aligned. People are in different places in their lives, some of the other people have different commitments and priorities, but this worked out for us.”

Roberts, 44, said the latest reunion was Scherzinger’s idea, noting that she “reached out” to other members of the group.
“We had some conversations, and we were just like, ‘We’re on the same page, we’re excited about embracing where we’re at now as women and celebrating that,’” Roberts said. “I’m just really excited to get back on stage and swing these hips around in some latex, hun!”
Scherzinger, 47, has recently found success in the hit West End and Broadway productions of Sunset Boulevard, winning the Tony for Best Leading Actress in a Musical in 2025.
Speaking to the BBC, the singer said she felt now was the right time to return to her pop roots.
“It was a dream come true to do the stage. And, listen, for the last three years I’ve been hiding out in these little intimate theaters, y’all. And it was fulfilling in so many ways,” Scherzinger explained. “But as an artist, you can’t be bound to one thing, you want to do it all, and it’s just so great to be able to come back, and I did miss the girls.”
“I’m very proud of our group, our legacy, our music. So I was like, ‘Well, I just did the West End and Broadway, now it’s time for a world tour.’ Dolls unite!” she added.

Kathie Lee Gifford Can’t Stand One Thing About LGBT Community
Kathie Lee Gifford wants the LGBTQ community to stop with their labels.
Known as one of Hollywood’s most outspoken Christians, the former “Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee” co-host has never shied away from sharing her beliefs.
In a recent interview, the conversation turned to her views on queer identity. While emphasizing that she loves everyone, Gifford voiced her frustration with the growing list of identifiers.
Kathie Lee Gifford Takes Jab At The Gay Community Titles
During the March 10 episode of the “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” podcast, Gifford joined host Tomi Lahren, and their discussion soon steered toward homosexuality.
Lahren referenced a past interview in which Shia LaBeouf was asked whether the Bible condemns homosexuality.
Gifford, however, told Lahren that the scriptures have something to say about it, urging her to check it out for herself.
When Lahren asked the ex-talk show host how one can reconcile being a strong Christian and still support gay rights, Gifford replied that the answer was simple. “That one is a four-letter word, and it’s called L-O-V-E, love,” she told Lahren.
Gifford added that many of her friends are gay and expressed concern about how queer people identify themselves.
“I don’t even know how many letters there are now. They’ve really got to stop with that. We know what you mean, you know?” Gifford said.
Despite her criticism, Gifford stressed that she does not judge anyone and believes love should come first.
“I’m not telling anybody how to live their life,” she declared. “I never have. I just know what Jesus said: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Love God first.”
Kathie Lee Gifford Slammed Religion As Restrictive

Despite being a devout Christian and outspoken on her faith, Gifford has some controversial views on religion.
The 72-year-old TV personality stressed that faith should be lived as a constant communication with God and has nothing to do with religion.
“It’s not a religion. I am very anti-religion,” Gifford shared, according to The Blast. “Religion puts people in chains, and Jesus takes them away.”
She went further to reject the idea of separating her career from her spiritual mission, saying it’s all one life which she lives in line with God’s blessings and guidance.
Kathie Lee Gifford Turns To The Scripture For Guidance

Kathie continued with sharing her guide, especially when it comes to navigating difficult decisions or moments of anxiety.
According to her, the teachings of the Bible are her compass, providing clarity in situations where uncertainty might otherwise take over.
“Scripture says don’t, don’t worry about anything. Don’t worry about anything. I am with you. I will lead you. I will guide you every day of your life,” she said.
As such, when people ask how she can be bold in speaking about God, especially in Hollywood, she said she does not care what people think.
Kathie Lee Gifford Shared How Donald Trump Saved Her Family

While speaking on her spiritual beliefs, the media personality has also shared personal experiences. One such encounter was a frightening encounter with a stalker that Donald Trump stepped in to save her.
As The Blast previously reported, Gifford recalled traveling to Atlantic City with her daughter when her late husband, Frank Gifford, received a disturbing call from the FBI. Authorities had warned that a “psychopathic” murderer and rapist had vowed to target her.
The FBI advised Frank not to change their plans, fearing the suspect would catch on. However, Frank, wanting Kathie to be safe, reached out to Trump.
Trump quickly stepped in, arranging for his private helicopter to transport Kathie Lee, her baby, and their nanny safely while also assigning a team of his personal security guards to protect her.
How Kathie Lee Gifford Experienced a Miracle Health Recovery

Another personal experience Kathie revealed was a miracle that happened after a dangerous fall from the stairs in her Tennessee home. According to The Blast, Gifford explained that she had been rushing down the stairs in the heat to let a friend in when her shoes caused her to tumble.
Surprisingly, she felt no pain afterward and had already stopped taking painkillers. However, she was concerned and called her doctor, who ordered an X-ray.
The results stunned them both as her injuries had completely healed. “You are cured… You are healed. It is a miracle,” her doctor told her, even joking that she could now enjoy a glass of wine again. Gifford added that medical experts rarely see such miraculous recoveries.

Ray J’s Mom Defends Him Against Kim Kardashian & Kris Jenner
The infamous sex tape starring Kim Kardashian and Ray J is largely a relic of the past. However, both parties have referenced it in recent years, with Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, denying in recent court filings that they orchestrated its release. Now, Sonja Norwood, mother of Ray J and Grammy-Winning R&B Legend Brandy, has responded in a fiery post.
Ray J’s Mother Defends Him Against Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner

Ray J recently claimed that Kardashian and her mother, Jenner, were behind the now-infamous 2007 sex tape, leading both parties to deny that this was the case. Following this, Norwood took to Facebook on the morning of March 12 to defend her son.
She said, “Who did? After reading the declarations from Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, and reading their recent statements circulating, including reports published across multiple media outlets regarding the tape, I am no longer going to sit back and watch my son be ‘dogged’ on social media over this matter when Ray J and I, Kris and Kim, and many others know the truth.”
Mrs. Norwood Then Addressed Kris Jenner Directly

Norwood then continued her response to Kardashian and Jenner’s statements about her son. Addressing Jenner directly, she said, “And Kris, momager, you say you did not orchestrate the commercial release of the tape. Then who did?”
She went on, “I support Ray J and his journey to bring the truth forward. I have witnessed this journey for many years, and however long it takes, whether it becomes a long journey or a difficult battle, we will stay on that path until the voices that have distorted the truth are publicly revealed.”
Norwood concluded her thoughts: “And if that truth journey must continue all the way to the doorstep of God’s judgment, then so be it.”
Fans Are Standing Beside Ray J And The Norwood Family

The general consensus online is that all parties involved with the 2007 sex tape between Ray J and Kardashian should move on from it. However, now that Norwood has offered her take, fans are also defending Ray J.
One person commented on Norwood’s statement, saying, “We already know Mrs. Norwood. They are trying to play in our faces!” Someone else wrote, “We already know that you will fight and protect your family at all costs. We stand with you.”
Another Facebook user stated, “I know you had enough, Mrs. Sonja, if you are speaking on this. You got this!” Lastly, someone else expressed disbelief that the tape was still a topic of discussion.
They wrote, “Wait! Are we still talking about this? We already knew the truth. The Kardashians must not be getting enough attention, because why did this topic resurface?”
Here’s What Kim K and Kris Jenner Said About Ray J

TMZ published excerpts from a legal filing by Kardashian and Jenner, where they deny that the adult tape was a “staged event.” Kardashian said in the documents, “[Ray J’s] claim that I had a plan with my mother and others to release a sex tape, defraud the public, and file a ‘fake’ lawsuit against the porn company that released it to ‘create buzz’ is a lie.”
Jenner also fired back at the singer. She stated that she did not “make my daughter Kim film any sex tape or decide what tape to release, as Defendant further outrageously claimed in his cross-complaint.”
The 70-year-old continued, “As a mother, the notion that I orchestrated or produced sex tapes involving my daughter, or was in any way involved in the creation or distribution of any sex tapes, is not only entirely untrue but deeply offensive and harmful and has haunted me for decades.”
This comes after Kardashian and Jenner sued Ray J for defamation. He then countersued, claiming that they violated a settlement agreement by speaking about the sex tape.
Sonja Norwood Recently Gave An Update On Ray J’s Health

Ray J has been plagued with health issues for months now, including being hospitalized in January for pneumonia and a heart condition. More recently, according to E!, he performed with what appeared to be blood on his face, and then in March 2026, he collapsed while performing.
Norwood went on Facebook Live to shoot down rumors that Ray J was faking his health issues. She said, “It’s just really gotten out of hand when someone thinks that my son is faking his health, or it’s a hoax, or he’s just playing around.”
She continued, “I’m the kind of mother that it’s not much that I don’t know about my children because they voluntarily tell me things. When things are good and when things are not so good. I’m generally the first phone call.”
From there, she thanked fans who had prayed for Ray J’s health and discussed when she first received the text on January 6 that her son was in the hospital, saying her “heart skipped a beat.” Ultimately, she discussed how serious a health issue Ray J has, stating that he “could have a heart attack.”

How A Raunchy, R-Rated Sci-Fi Comedy Warned Us About Everything We’re Currently Living Through
By Jennifer Asencio
| Updated

Mike Judge brought us the animated sitcoms Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill, which were full of sharp social commentary interwoven with cutting humor. He also wrote and directed feature films like the meme-laden Office Space and the sci-fi comedy Idiocracy. The latter predicted a future that seems like it’s already here.
Luke Wilson plays Joe, a fiercely average enlistee in the US Army who was hoping that he could pass his tenure in a lonely library, away from other people. However, the Army has other plans: they enlist him as a test subject for a top-secret project meant to freeze soldiers in time, to be awakened when needed. Also enlisted is Rita, a prostitute played by Maya Rudolph who has drawn the eye of the project director. The project is forgotten while they are asleep.

The project works extremely well, and Joe wakes up in 2505. The world has drastically changed and is facing a series of catastrophic challenges like famine and drought. Everything is automated and everyone seems to be pretty dumb. Joe finds out that he’s the smartest man in the world when run-ins with the law force him through an intelligence test.
He gets recruited by the President, Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Comacho (played to extremes by Terry Crews), to solve the famine or else he will wind up in jail in this terrible place forever. With the aid of Rita and contemporary local Frito Pendejo (a dumbed-down Dax Shepard), Joe strives to save the world so he can stay out of jail long enough to return himself and Rita to the 21st century.
Brought To You By The Creators Of Ass, And Ow, My Balls!

In Idiocracy, intelligence is seen as a disability, much like learning disabilities are viewed today. The number one TV show is called Ow, My Balls, and its single gag is that its lead repeatedly receives blows to the groin. The number one movie is called Ass, and it is a feature film that is entirely a farting butt. Justice, both the courtroom and the “House of Representin’,” is televised and sensationalized. Everyone’s clothes, no matter how simple, are covered in logos.
The world is controlled by the corporation Brawndo, whose main product is an electrolyte beverage that has replaced water. Everything is so automated that there is no way to reach a human, and nobody is smart enough to do anything about it.

If all of this sounds oddly prescient, well, it is. Anyone who has had to deal with automated customer service these days knows about the frustrating string of endless automated replies that never address the problem and are full of vague platitudes. This has largely occurred as our corporations increasingly turn to AI to cut costs, creating an amazing amount of enshittification, or the decay of a product over time as it draws more customers.
Over time, customers come to actually expect less quality, which is why some of us can remember when McDonald’s tasted good and a party there was the coolest thing in the world, while now it’s not even food anymore. And if you’ve ever had to troubleshoot or submit a ticket on X, you know a human has likely never seen it.
A Future We’re Already Living

Entertainment is growing more and more mindless these days as companies attempt to check inclusivity boxes rather than tell stories. Although the FCC is not owned by a corporation like Brawndo, the fact is that entertainment has narrowed to reflect only a certain point of view, and this emphasis has reduced the quality of the stories we are being told in all our media, from books to video games to TV and movies.
Lots of people are allowing themselves to be satisfied with Ass on their streaming services, TV screens, and especially our phones. With the equivalent Ass and Ow, My Balls readily available no matter where we are (as long as there’s a WiFi or cell signal), the ethernet has been inundated with meaningless content that just plays on automatic all the time. It becomes not only what we get used to consuming, but also background noise that never ends with autoplay.
He Warned Us, But We Didn’t Listen
To top it off, many popular franchises are being turned into almost two hours of nothing but a farting butt, for all what has been produced of them has been worth. This is just more enshittification, but applied to entertainment, which is just another product.

In Idiocracy, judgment and justice are meted out mostly through the court of public opinion rather than facts and legal proceedings. This starts out in the local courthouse, presided over by famous Mike Judge collaborator Stephen Root, and escalates all the way to President Machado’s speeches, filled with wrestling shouts, automatic gunfire, and cheering fans.
The world Mike Judge posits in Idiocracy is full of very stupid people who were selected by nature as they bred faster than smart people. Frito and his peers are so dumb that they’re easily distracted, drawn to sensationalism like moths to flame, and unable to solve even basic problems. Intellect is something pitied in this world, something that seems true today as colleges become degree mills and merit has been replaced by having the “correct” opinions. This has served to have the same effect as Judge’s centuries of natural selection, as people have been mesmerized by commentary from people more interested in remaining relevant than telling the truth.

Idiocracy is absurdist, almost a cartoon, running its premise to its most ridiculous conclusions, but that’s the point. It’s not meant to be an image of today but a warning of what might come. It was made in 2006, before a lot of the conventions it lampoons became culture and everyday life, so Mike Judge did not yet have to deal with endless phone menus and the degree to which almost every product in our daily lives has decayed. But it’s clear he knew it was coming, as this piercing comedy film shows through biting satire and fantastic attention to the world it created.

Idiocracy is streaming on Hulu. Watch it instead of yet more Ass.

Age of Attraction Couples Status Check: Who Is Together?
Age of Attraction sparked several romantic connections — but which couples are still dating and who has broken up?
The new dating show, which premiered in March 2026, is hosted by real-life couple Nick Viall and Natalie Joy, who have their own 18-year age gap. According to the official synopsis, “Age is thrown out the window when singles search for their soulmates, but will the years come between them?”
Divided into three parts, the first batch of episodes showed the initial connections that were formed before individual couples made promises to each other. After a visit to the Promise Room, each couple were finally able to discuss their age gap — and decide if they wanted to keep exploring their chemistry.
Age of Attraction zeroed in on six couples who moved into the same apartment building after making a commitment. They then had to weather new challenges as their new normal set in, which led to one shocking split.
Later in the season, family members will visit each couple to give their opinions on each match. They will then make a decision about whether they want to pursue a future together or if their age differences create too much of an issue.
Scroll down to find out whether your favorite Age of Attraction couple is still together:
John and Theresa

The first couple to form a connection on the show — who have a 27-year age gap — are still together halfway through the season.
Vanessa and Logan

Despite facing challenges in their 20-year age gap after moving in together on the show, Vanessa and Logan are still together.
Chris and Leah

The pair, who are 15 years apart, have continued to fight for their romance when the first part of season 1 came to an end.
Derrick and Pfeifer

Pfeifer, who was 23 when filming, and Derrick, who was 43, are still discussing their future together on the show.
Libby and Andrew

After finding out about their 16-year age gap, Libby and Andrew decided to give their connection a chance — and they are still an item by the end of part 1.
Vanelle and Jorge

The duo, who have a 33-year age gap, faced many issues including Jorge revealing he has kids, their different thoughts on Vanelle’s celibacy and an offscreen fight that turned into a breakup in episode 5.

Katherine Heigl Responds To Critics Over Mar-a-Lago Event
Katherine Heigl is speaking out after facing backlash for attending a charity event at Mar-a-Lago.
The actress says the criticism misses the real purpose of the evening, which raised millions for an animal rescue organization.
As online debate intensified, Heigl did not stay silent, offering a passionate defense of her actions and her long-standing advocacy for animals.
Katherine Heigl Explains Why She Attended The Event

Heigl addressed the controversy directly after her appearance at the Wine, Women & Shoes fundraiser held at Mar a Lago in Palm Beach, Florida.
The actress explained that the event was centered on helping animals, a cause she has supported for years through her charitable work.
“Animals don’t vote,” Heigl said in a statement to JustJared. “The only room they don’t like is the euthanasia room at a shelter. They are completely at the mercy of us, and they have no voice of their own.”
She emphasized that the focus of the event had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with advocacy.
“This event was about animal advocacy — something that has always been deeply personal to me,” Heigl continued. “Anyone who knows me knows that protecting animals is one of my greatest passions. My mother, Nancy, and I have spent years advocating for animals through the Jason Heigl Foundation. As a society, we should all come together to protect the voiceless and the innocent. This should not be a polarizing issue.”
Fundraiser Raises Millions For Animal Rescue

While the online debate gained attention, organizers highlighted the success of the three-day charity gathering.
According to the event’s hosts, the fundraiser generated $5.5 million in support of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, the largest no-kill dog rescue organization in the United States.
Founder Lauree Simmons praised the turnout and the impact of the event.
“This year was a record-breaking success and boosted awareness for Big Dog Ranch Rescue,” Simmons said. “It was a heartwarming display of community spirit, uniting style enthusiasts and animal advocates for a truly monumental cause.”
The gathering also marked Katherine Heigl’s first red carpet appearance in two years, drawing attention from both supporters and critics online.
Katherine Heigl Fires Back At Social Media Criticism

Not everyone responded positively to Heigl’s attendance. Some social media users questioned her decision to appear at the event’s location.
Following Heigl’s use of the phrase “animals don’t vote,” one Instagram user pushed back.
“No, but if they did they would have better judgement than you!” the commenter wrote.
Heigl responded with a lengthy reply challenging the focus of the criticism.
She asked the commenter, “Just curious…what do you do that really matters…do you think comments on an instagram post matter to animals who have had humans pour gasoline on them and set them on fire? Who have had humans vote conservative or liberal but have been left to starve and suffer? Seriously…I’m very curious what you truly think matters to the voiceless and innocent…actions or just instagram posturing?”
Her response quickly circulated online, fueling further discussion around the event.
Katherine Heigl Challenges Critics To Take Action

Another commenter suggested that the actress should support animal rescues that do not hold events at the same venue.
“There are so many amazing rescues to align yourself with that aren’t hosting events there — and so many ways to get involved that aren’t putting on a dress and drinking cocktails masquerading as helping,” the user wrote.
Heigl again pushed back, questioning whether critics had contributed to similar causes themselves.
“How are you so sure about that…have you been to any?” Heigl replied. “Have you donated a significant part of your income to anything? Anything you claim to care so much about? Have you done anything more than comment on what someone else is doing or not doing to your standard? Just curious…”
Actress Urges People To Focus On Helping Animals

Despite the criticism, Katherine Heigl also received supportive messages from some followers who defended her decision to attend the fundraiser.
One commenter wrote alongside several clapping emojis, “She made a choice.”
Heigl responded in similar fashion to the supportive remark.
“Yes I did,” she replied.
The actress concluded by urging people to focus less on online debates and more on taking meaningful action to help causes they care about.
When a commenter asked who Heigl was, she responded by writing, “Do you care about animals? If so donate! Time! Money! Attention! Your voice! It doesn’t matter who I am only what I do. The same goes for you! Animals might not be your thing but I bet you care deeply about something that matters! Do your part! Don’t waste your time scrolling and making comments!”
Several more negative comments followed, but Heigl took the time to respond to each one.
For her, the message was simple. Regardless of the location or controversy, the true goal was helping animals who cannot advocate for themselves.
