Megyn Kelly Slams Stephen Colbert Amid CBS Exit
Megyn Kelly has no sympathy for Stephen Colbert. In fact, the former NBC personality slammed the CBS mainstay on Friday, claiming he’s thrown a “hissy fit” as he begins the final week of his popular series, “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
On the most recent episode of her podcast, “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the former Fox News host seemed thrilled that Colbert’s time on the late-night program was coming to an end.
For those who may be unfamiliar, Colbert announced that his show was being canceled by CBS in July 2025.
Earlier this week, Colbert had former “Late Show” host David Letterman on the program, and during the episode, they went to the top of the CBS headquarters building and threw props off it into the street.
Kelly seemed incensed by Colbert’s actions and, on her show, praised “Jesus,” saying that his “bizarre goodbye to late night is finally almost over.”
“It’s gone on forever, but not before he throws a hissy fit temper tantrum with the former host of the CBS program,” she said. “He and Letterman got together to just express how very, very angry they are about poor Stephen Colbert’s show getting canceled. Cry me a river, would you take it like a man? Honestly, where are your testicles? This is so humiliating. We know you got canceled.”

Kelly implied that her frustrated response to Colbert and Letterman’s actions stemmed from the response she received from the public when she was axed from NBC and “The Today Show” after making comments many deemed to be racist.
“When I got canned from NBC, everyone was calling me a racist. They were humiliating me everywhere. Yes, I got a little teary the day after, because it was overwhelming,” she said.
Kelly went on to say that she handled her business amid the backlash instead of seeking sympathy from the public.
“Take it like a man. Stop it. Stop this. Put your big boy pants on and exit with grace. You’re humiliating yourself. Truly, you’re humiliating mankind. I don’t want my sons to see this behavior. This is so embarrassing. You didn’t get cancer, you got canceled! It happens. Grow up,” she said.
Letterman Blasts CBS For ‘Lying’ About The Reason The ‘Late Show’ Was Canceled
Weeks ago, Letterman spoke with The New York Times about the end of “The Late Show” and accused CBS’ owners of being dishonest about the beloved late-night series.
“He was dumped because the people selling the network to Skydance said, ‘Oh no, there’s not going to be any trouble with that guy. We’re going to take care of the show. We’re just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry,’” Letterman said.
CBS is replacing “The Late Show” with Byron Allen’s “Comics Unleashed,” and, according to Letterman, it’s so they can make money by charging Allen “some unreasonable price” to air.
“I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing, Jason. They’re lying weasels,” Letterman said.
According to a previous report from The Blast, Kelly understands what it’s like to be removed from the air.
In 2018, NBC pulled her hour from “The Today Show” after she made critical comments about blackface regarding costumes.
“But what is racist? Because truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a character,” she said.
Kelly Apologized Days Later After Being Called Out By NBC Colleagues
Kelly faced immediate backlash from the public and her NBC colleagues, including Al Roker and Craig Melvin, for her comments.
While Kelly’s show was canceled, she apologized for her comments, admitting she was “wrong.”
“I learned that given the history of blackface being used in awful ways by racists in this country, it is not okay for that to be part of any costume, Halloween or otherwise,” she said.
She added, “This past year has been painful for many people of color. The country feels so divided, and I have no wish to add to that pain and offense. I believe this is a time for more understanding, more love, more sensitivity, and honor. I want to be part of that. Thank you for listening and for helping me listen too.”

While already shockingly prolific for someone who was born before World War II, Ridley Scott is involved in more projects than you probably realize. He’s set to return to the sci-fi genre this year with The Dog Stars, featuring Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin. It’s his first directorial effort in two years. However, Scott has remained highly active as a producer and an executive producer in both films and television. He has been credited for these roles on as many as 10 movies in the last five years alone. He has served as an executive producer on seven new shows since 2020, with the most recent being Alien: Earth. However, one of his returning series is performing exceptionally well on streaming after its recent return.
The horror show has featured a different cast and creators for each of its three seasons. Released in 2018, the first season was developed by David Kajganich, best known for his subsequent work with director Luca Guadagnino. It featured Jared Harris, Tobias Menzies, and Ciarán Hinds, with directing duties on several episodes being performed by Edward Berger. The second season, which premiered in 2019, was created by Max Borenstein, who is best known for his work on Legendary’s MonsterVerse movies. The latest season, which premiered on May 7, was created by Victor LaValle and based on his 2013 novel.
Ridley Scott’s Horror Series Is Back After More than 5 Years
We’re talking about The Terror: Devil in Silver. The series is headlined by Dan Stevens, with Aasif Mandvi, CCH Pounder, and Stephen Root in supporting roles. The new season holds an excellent 95% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Dan Stevens and a game supporting cast deliver well-rounded performances with nuance and verve in this latest installment of The Terror, which humanely depicts its subject’s troubles with mental health and supernatural frights.” In her review, Collider’s Kelcie Mattson wrote, “Season 3 might not quite reach the spectacular first season’s overall heights, but it’s still a disquieting, philosophical dissection of human nature that simultaneously proves this anthology’s flexibility and its staying power.” According to FlixPatrol, The Terror: Devil in Silver was the number one show on AMC+ after a week. The six-episode season will conclude on June 11. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

You’re unlikely to ever find people as devoted and invested in their own fandom as fans of The Lord of the Rings. Unlike most franchises in pop culture, these fans have fully embraced all the strange and quirky things that make both the books and the movies special, choosing to have fun with them instead of complaining or judging (for the most part). That’s why there are so many Middle-earth memes around, from simple lines that take on a life of their own to random facts about the making of the movies. The weirdest and funniest of them, however, has to be the tale of Figwit (Bret McKenzie), a character who was fully born from one such memes — and one of the first ones at that!
Figwit First Appears as a Background Character in ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’
To bring Middle-earth fully to life, the Peter Jackson trilogy had to cast a lot of background characters. After all, if J.R.R. Tolkien created such a complex and vivid land, the movies had to do justice to it, right? What probably neither of them expected, however, was that one such character would actually attract the fans’ attention more than the saga’s own protagonist, especially at a key moment in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
In the Council of Elrond (Hugo Weaving) scene, there’s a heated debate about what should be done with the One Ring. Frodo (Elijah Wood) then stands up to tell everyone that he will take it to Mordor and destroy it, with the camera cutting to a wider shot of everyone present staring at him. When fandom powerhouse Iris Hadad watched that scene, she began to praise Frodo, but was surprised by the handsome Elf on the far right, and, thus, Figwit came into being.
This isn’t the character’s official name, and actor Bret McKenzie himself isn’t even credited in the movie, but, once Hadad’s eyes landed on him, Figwit suddenly belonged to the entire fandom. His name is the acronym of her reaction: “Frodo is great… Who is THAT?” She went even further, setting up a whole website (linked above) dedicated to Figwit after The Fellowship of the Ring came out, so everyone could obsess over him.
Peter Jackson Summoned Figwit Back in ‘The Return of the King’
In the Council of Elrond, Figwit can also be seen sitting beside Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), but he doesn’t even have a line. Still, his sheer presence and looks were enough to cause a fuss amongst the fandom. So much fuss, in fact, that Peter Jackson himself noted it and called McKenzie back for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, since, unfortunately, he wasn’t available for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, according to a USA Today story about it.
In the third movie, though, Figwit is back in all his glory and has actual lines! This happens in the scene where Arwen (Liv Tyler) has a vision of her future with Aragorn and decides to stay in Middle-earth. When she turns around and rides back to Rivendell, Figwit is there, telling her, “Lady Arwen, we cannot delay,” and calling out for her once she departs. Unfortunately, the character is credited only as “Elf Escort,” not Figwit, but, by then, everyone already knew him by his true name.
In The Return of the King DVD extras, Jackson himself admits that he called McKenzie back to play Figwit to please the fans, because “so much fuss has been made about him over the last couple of years.” Later, in 2004, Figwit got his own documentary, too, appropriately called Frodo Is Great… Who Is THAT?, following McKenzie’s relationship with the meme and featuring interviews from his cast mates, including Jackson and even Ian McKellen.
Bret McKenzie Returned in ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,’ but as a Different Elf
The Return of the King wasn’t the last Middle-earth has seen of Figwit, thankfully — or of Bret McKenzie, at least. In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, when Gandalf and the Company of Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) arrive in Rivendell, they are greeted by a familiar face, but it isn’t really Figwit. In The Hobbit, McKenzie plays Lindir, one of Elrond’s aides, whom the actor jokingly described as having “slightly different ears.”
The Greatest Quote in This Iconic Fantasy Trilogy Still Lives Rent-Free in Our Heads
It’s hard to beat Peter Jackson.
Contrary to Figwit, Lindir does have a few lines, and much more complex ones. Instead of simply calling out or staring at the main characters, this time McKenzie had to learn his lines in Elvish, which proved quite a challenge. Of course, many people know him as half of Flight of the Conchords, too, but, as it turns out, memorizing lines in Elvish is a touch beyond memorizing lyrics in English. In Middle-earth, though, he’ll always be Figwit.
As silly as all this may seem, Figwit is a perfect example of how the fans themselves can make something like The Lord of the Rings their own, regardless of how big and important the franchise is. We love our memes and inside jokes, from Viggo Mortensen breaking his toe in The Two Towers to Hugo Weaving speaking to himself as both Elrond and Isildur in The Fellowship of the Ring. With The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum on the way, we’re now excited to see what memes will come out of that one, too.
Actor Adam Driver is hot off the success of “Paper Tiger” at the Cannes Film Festival. Directed by James Gray, the film tells the story of two brothers who become entangled with the Russian mafia while pursuing the American Dream. Since early reviews are praising Driver’s acting ability, it’s no surprise that he’s been tapped to star in Kenneth Lonergan’s latest feature.
Kenneth Lonergan earned an Oscar for best original screenplay for 2016’s “Manchester by the Sea.” The film also gave Casey Affleck a best actor win. Lonergan’s latest film might just give Driver another shot at an Oscar, as he received consecutive Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor for playing a Jewish police officer infiltrating the KKK in 2018’s “BlacKkKlansman” and Best Actor for his role as a theater director going through a divorce in 2019’s “Marriage Story.”
In Kenneth Lonergan’s latest film, “Tomorrow Is A Drag,” Driver will reunite with his “Megalopolis” costar Aubrey Plaza, as reported by Variety. Vanessa Kirby and Matthew Broderick are also attached to the project. Plot details are being kept under wraps for now, although Lonergan previously worked with Driver on the off-Broadway play “Hold On to Me Darling.”
‘Paper Tiger’ Gets A 10-Minute Ovation At The Cannes Film Festival
According to Deadline, James Gray’s new film “Paper Tiger” drew in a ten-minute standing ovation at the Grand Theatre Lumiere. Cate Blanchett, Julianne Moore, and director Pawel Pawlikowski were some of the A-list stars leading the applause.
Emotional director James Gray thanked the crowd, saying, “There’s much more gray now in the beard, not just the name, but the beard. And I have learned finally to appreciate. But more I appreciate you, without you, there is no cinema, cinema needs you. And cinema needs you guys more than ever. Really. This is really an important time and Cannes is so important for that reason and you are important for that reason. So, it moves me greatly to see you here in this theater where I have many great memories. And I love you all, what can I say, I’m going to leave soon, so I can hide.”
‘Paper Tiger’ Stars Adam Driver, Miles Teller, and Scarlett Johansson
The film stars Adam Driver and Miles Teller as two brothers. Driver’s character is a divorced ex-cop with ties to the Russian mafia, and Teller plays a more straight-laced father to his two sons, while his wife, played by Scarlett Johansson, hides a secret of her own when her health struggles catch up with her.
NEON has acquired the rights to the film, which was first announced at last year’s Cannes market. The last time Gray was at Cannes was with 2022’s “Armageddon Time.” That coming-of-age film was widely praised upon its release, and it seems that Gray’s latest story about the American Dream will be no different. Reviews that have been coming out of Cannes have been overwhelmingly positive, with Driver’s acting drawing considerable praise.
Scarlett Johansson Opens Up About Working With Adam Driver
Although she was married – and divorcing – Driver’s character in “Marriage Story,” Johansson is married to Miles Teller’s character in “Paper Tiger.” Even though she shared a few scenes with Driver, she told The Hollywood Reporter that she would have loved to work with him more on the project.
“I would’ve loved to have had even more scenework with him, I love working with him,” she told the publication. However, that’s not to say she didn’t enjoy working with Teller.
“He’s so unexpectedly tender. I went away for a couple of weeks to do the press for Jurassic — I felt crazy to leave, but I had to go — and when I was gone, I’d get photographs of my makeup station from Miles and he’d be like, ‘Where’s Hester?’” she said of working with the “Top Gun: Maverick” alum.
The “Avengers” actress also told PEOPLE magazine that she had a “great” experience working with the actor back in 2025. “I love Adam as a person and he is an absolutely extraordinary actor,” she said at the time. “If I could make every movie with Adam Driver, I would.”
Colin Jost narrowly avoided losing his “award-winning” hair live on air during Saturday Night Live’s season 51 finale.
The hair-mergency was the culmination of the latest “Weekend Update Joke Swap” segment on Saturday, May 16, where Jost, 43, and his cohost Michael Che read offensive jokes they wrote for each other. After brutal jokes about Michael Jackson and Michael B. Jordan‘s Oscar win, Jost had to read a zinger that Che wrote about Kanye West.
“Ye has released a new album called Bully,” Jost began. “Please try to separate the art from the artist. Remember, Ye can make awful music and still be right about Hitler.”
(In January, West, 48, publicly apologized for making antisemitic comments in the past, insisting that he is “not a Nazi or an antisemite.”)
As the SNL studio audience cringed, Jost acknowledged that his joke was “offensive to everyone” before reading a mea culpa penned by Che.
“To apologize, I’d like to sacrifice the most important thing in my life: my beautiful, award-winning, world-famous hair,” Jost said. “That’s right, I’m shaving it off! Send in the barber.”
A shocked Jost was joined on stage by a barber, who promptly put a smock over the comedian’s shoulders and whipped out a razor.
“Jerome, make me un-pretty,” Jost wearily read from the teleprompter.
Just before the barber started shaving his head, Che, 42, intervened to ask whether his comedy partner would actually go through with the stunt.
“Man, you are the greatest comedian of all time,” Che told Jost as they both chuckled. “No, don’t do it!”
“I was so scared,” Jost admitted.

While Jost got away unscathed this time, the “Joke Swap” has had some major consequences for him in the past. In December 2024, SNL cameras caught Jost’s wife Scarlett Johansson’s disgusted reaction to a vulgar joke Che wrote about her.
“Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from its menu. I’ve been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid,” a horrified Jost read.
The Marvel star admitted to InStyle in March 2025 that she was completely caught off guard by the crudity of Che’s one-liner.
“It was so vulgar. I just can’t believe that they went there,” she admitted. “I was like — it was so gross. It was really gross. And, like, old-school gross.”
Colin Jost had the last laugh after his Saturday Night Live costar Michael Che insinuated that Scarlett Johansson wears the pants in the couple’s marriage. “The winners of the annual wife-carrying contest in England was a couple from Finland,” Che, 42, set up a “Weekend Update” joke during the Saturday, March 14, episode of SNL. […]
The couple got their revenge during SNL’s season 50 finale when they teamed up to write embarrassing jokes for Che to read.
“The fact is, I was just lashing out because I’m jealous,” a smirking Che told Jost and Johansson, 41. “I’ve never ever seen a human vagina. And notice I said ‘human’ because I once spent the summer on a farm.”
Saturday Night Live returns with season 52 on NBC this fall.

‘Yellowstone’ Meets ‘True Detective’ in ‘Chicago P.D’ Alum’s New Crime Thriller Debuting This August
For Chicago P.D. fans, Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) was not just another member of the Intelligence Unit. She was a fierce proponent of justice since she joined in Season 4 and worked her way up the unit to become a detective alongside Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe). The journey was not without scars, following numerous traumatic situations that tested her resilience and marriage to Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer). Spiridakos left the series in Season 11, citing an interest in pursuing other creative opportunities. Soon after, she landed a role in a movie and later in a crime series. That crime series now has a premiere date.
Spiridakos stars in USA Network‘s upcoming crime drama, likened to Yellowstone and True Detective. The show is one of the several that have been ordered at the network as it seeks to reclaim its place in the scripted content arena. Also coming to USA Network is the second season of The Rainmaker. In this new show, Spiridakos picks up another badge of a different kind as she works to keep parks safe.
Titled Anna Pigeon after the main character, the show is based on Nevada Barr‘s popular mystery book series. According to the show’s official description, Pigeon is “a former city slicker who became a park ranger after a devastating loss changed the trajectory of her life forever. While Anna tries to outrun her demons, her focus turns to solving crimes that have taken place within national park grounds, no matter who or what gets in her way.” Other cast members include Ronnie Rowe (as Frederick Stanton), Paulina Alexis (as Zoey Bear Child), and Melanie Scrofano (as Bethany Lopez), among others. USA Network released a trailer that previews events in the show.
Tracy Spiridakos Is on the Case in ‘Anna Pigeon’ Trailer
In the video above, Anna has already settled into her life as a park ranger after leaving the city. However, she keeps in touch with her sister, who is a practicing psychiatrist. We learn that Anna ran away after the murder of her husband. The tragedy amplified her sense of justice, so when a dead body is found in the park, she’s hellbent on solving it. A jurisdictional problem occurs between her and Stanton, an FBI agent tasked with bringing the killer to justice. Meanwhile, Anna is trying to find the way back to herself with a mentee and a romantic interest in tow. The trailer promises emotional arcs, gorgeous shots of the landscape, and plenty of mystery.
Anna Pigeon debuts on Friday, August 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on USA Network. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Influencers Jessi and Alessio Pasini finally brought their baby boy home from the NICU — and have already received a hefty bill for their newborn’s life-saving treatment.
“It is $900,357.55,” Jessi said in a Friday, May 16, TikTok video, to which Alesso revealed the sum is “almost a million.”
“Lorenzo is a million-dollar baby,” Alessio quipped. “But it is more because we have $250K from [Jessi’s visit] … and here is missing the doctors.”
Jessi gave birth to the couple’s first baby, son Lorenzo Leone, prematurely at 26 weeks in February. Jessi had been diagnosed with complete placenta previa, which required medical supervision before her delivery. After Lorenzo’s arrival, he was transported to the NICU unit for months of treatment and observation.
Influencer couple Jessi Pasini and Alessio Pasini are shedding some light on why they’ve kept their newborn son, Lorenzo, off social media following his premature birth last month. “Well Lorenzo, right now, is in the NICU,” Alessio, 39, told his and Jessi’s Instagram followers, noting in a Friday, March 6, video that their son is […]
According to Jessi, the neonatologists in the unit cost $4,000 a day.
“He was there for 85 days, [which totals to] $340,000,” she said, noting that insurance has helped cover the financial cost of their baby’s treatment.
Jessi and Alessio’s son was discharged earlier this month, and the couple finally brought their newborn home.
“After 85 days in the NICU, you finally get to walk out with Dad,” the couple wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 11, alongside footage of Alessio holding Lorenzo’s car seat.
Lorenzo has been home for two weeks at the time of publication.

“In the NICU, the nurses chart everything that they do and then they write it on a piece of paper and they plug it into the computer so they know when he ate, took his medicine, whatever,” Jessi recalled in a YouTube vlog posted on Saturday, May 16. “Alessio and I started doing that here ‘cause I’m using the little app to track everything.”
At home, she and Alessio can use their notes to figure out when their son last ate, slept or needed a diaper change.
“Day 1 rocked our world because we had expected Lorenzo to come home on his NICU schedule because, in the NICU, he had care times every three hours,” Jessi admitted. “Every care time, he would have his diaper changed, he would get his temperature taken and eat and then he would be awake a little bit and then he would go to sleep, and then this continued every three hours.”
She continued, “We were thinking he was going to come home on that similar schedule because they said a lot of babies stay on that schedule. Not him.”
According to Jessi, her son likely recognized his “new environment” that needed more time to get used to.
“I think he was needing extra comfort,” she said. “He wanted to be in our arms constantly because, I think, he was adjusting. You know, I would feel the same way.”
Taylor Swift shimmered in a golden ensemble worth almost $6,000 while on an outing with fiancé Travis Kelce.
The “Style” singer, 36, stepped out with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 36, to attend a private event in Bushwick, Brooklyn on Saturday, May 16, per a viral social media video. The couple held hands as they walked past a small crowd gathered outside the venue where the private event was held.
Kelce looked effortlessly chic in a dark pinstriped suit and black sunglasses while Swift wore a golden Maria Lucia Hohan allar cutout silk mousseline gown ($2,280). The singer-songwriter accessorized her glittery look with Aquazzura’s flaxen Tequila Sandal 105 heels ($1,635) and a sparkly Ari Clutch bag ($1,795) with a modern art aesthetic, per What Taylor Wears.
Of course, Swift was also wearing her massive engagement ring, an old mine brilliant cut diamond on a gold band, which was designed by Kindred Lubeck at Artifex Fine Jewelry.

Saturday’s outing was the second night in a row that Swift and Kelce stepped out in New York City. On Friday, May 15, they were spotted holding hands as they had dinner at Or’esh, a Mediterranean eatery where meals are prepared over a live-fire stove.
For Friday’s date night, Swift paired an off-the-shoulder cream dress with a floral pattern alongside Aquazzura’s Twist Sandal 95 heels and a straw shoulder bag with a chain strap. Kelce went for a light blue and white pinstriped button-down emblazoned with patchwork artwork of a wolf on one panel, plus black pants and shoes.

The couple are also fresh off a visit to London, with Kelce recently opening up on his “New Heights” podcast about how much fun they had across the pond.
“For the most part, [I] had some really good food, enjoyed some plays,” Kelce shared. “[We] saw Sadie Sink and, I believe, Noah Jupe is his name [in Romeo & Juliet in the West End]. He was f***ing phenomenal as Romeo. Sadie is phenomenal as Juliet, as well.”
Having got engaged in August 2025, fans of both Swift and Kelce are anticipating their upcoming wedding. On a recent “New Heights” episode, Kelce got some unexpected wedding advice from his guest, Rory McIlroy, while the golfer was sharing stories from the prestigious Masters Champions Dinner.
“It’s an incredible night to be sitting in that room,” McIlroy, 37, told him. “It’s a bit like — and Travis, you’ll feel this this year whenever you’re sitting at your wedding — you have all the people in a room … it’s amazing to have all these people in the same room. You’re just sitting there and it’s surreal. It’s unbelievable.”
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were all loved up while enjoying a date night in London. Swift and Kelce, both 36, were spotted leaving the Indian restaurant Gymkhana on Thursday, May 7, according to photos obtained by TMZ. The couple held hands as they walked out of the London hotspot. The pair donned coordinated outfits […]
The golfer went on, “The only thing I can compare it to is your wedding day because it’s this collection of people in the same room. It’s wild.”
“I can’t wait,” Travis beamed.
Swift and Kelce are expected to tie the knot this year, though exact details and dates have been kept under wraps.
Former Melrose Place and Days of Our Lives star Patrick Muldoon was laid to rest nearly one month after his death at age 57.
“Tough Day saying goodbye to my friend Pat Muldoon!!! He was my Teammate, My Brother, My Friend🙏🏾 miss you already brotha,” his former USC Trojans teammate Rodney Peete announced via Instagram on Saturday, May 16.
While Muldoon was best known for his acting work, he was a star football player as a teenager and even played tight end for USC in the 1980s.
Mulddon’s ex-girlfriend Denise Richards‘ daughter Sami Sheen was also in attendance at the celebration of life service and shared the handout via Instagram.

“Miss u so much Patrick,” Sheen, 22, captioned the photo.
Muldoon’s family had previously announced that a memorial service would be held for the late actor at St. Monica’s Catholic Church in Santa Monica.
The entertainment world was rocked on April 19 when news broke that Muldoon had died from a heart attack. (A death certificate obtained exclusively by Us Weekly indicated that there were multiple underlying causes in Muldoon’s death, including a pulmonary embolism and coagulopathy disorder, a genetic condition that impairs the blood’s ability to form clots properly.)
“With his poetry, his humor, and his unmistakable presence. [Patrick] loved animals and people alike, gave unforgettable hugs, and possessed a rare quality of making others feel safe and seen,” read a statement released to the media. “Stylish, charismatic, and full of life, he embraced each day with a full-tilt, rock ’n’ roll spirit.”
Denise Richards’ daughter Sami Sheen is sharing an emotional tribute to her mom’s late friend and ex-boyfriend Patrick Muldoon. “Patrick was someone that everyone loved. He was so quick-witted and humble but still made sure everyone knew he was a rock star and never cared what people thought about him,” Sami, 22, wrote in an Instagram […]
Tributes came pouring in from many of Muldoon’s friends and former costars, including former Days of Our Lives castmate Lisa Rinna, his ex-girlfriend Tori Spelling and numerous soap stars.
Muldoon’s former girlfriend Richards wrote that she was “deeply heartbroken & devastated” to lose him via an Instagram tribute on April 21. (The former couple dated in the late 1990s, during which they also worked together on the 1997 science fiction classic Starship Troopers.)
“You were my best friend & my family. We met in our first acting class, I was 19 never had an acting job and you were 21 a student at USC doing a recurring role on who’s the boss,” she remembered. “And here we are. 36 years later. My whole adult life & I don’t know it without you. The friendship, love, support, respect & loyalty we had was unconditional and rare. You lit up every room you walked into. You are larger than life & Everyone was drawn to you. So talented & most underrated actor. And most humble.”
Days of Our Lives actor Patrick Muldoon had been public about his relationships prior to his death. The Melrose Place alum’s manager confirmed to Variety in April 2026 that the actor died at age 57. His sister, Shana Muldoon-Zappa, told TMZ that Muldoon had gone to take a shower after drinking coffee with his girlfriend, […]
Richards vowed that she’d always remember Muldoon for “your laugh, your kindness, your wit, your strength, your loyalty, your passion, and your zest for life.”
“We’ve been each other’s rock. Our memories together are endless. You’ve had my back and protected me more than anyone. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you here,” she went on. “You’re my voice of reason & pillar of strength. Especially during this last year of pain & heartache. And now I need you more than ever, for this pain and heartache losing you. Schweetbabe we’ve had those conversations.”
The RHOBH alum concluded, “We thought we’d live forever or at least into our 90’s. Schweetbabe I will be looking for those signs. I need to know you’re still here with me. I love you so much & miss you dearly schweetbabe.”

Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody is embracing method acting for his Broadway debut, sharing that he has chosen to isolate himself to get into character. As the production continues its run, the actor is stepping away from distractions to help maintain the emotional depth and focus required for the demanding live performance.
Award-winning actor Adrien Brody has gone to extremes, immersing himself completely into his characters for past roles. For his Broadway debut, the 53-year-old actor has chosen isolation and solitude to play the role of wrongfully convicted inmate Nick Yarris in “The Fear of 13.”
In a conversation with Interview magazine in April, published on May 15, the actor shared that he chose to live in a hotel room for months to get into the mind of Yarris, who spent more than two decades on death row before being exonerated.
Brody said the isolation made him lonely, but explained that it was necessary for him to get into character. “I’m playing a man who has lived far deeper in that isolation. What I experience is only scratching the surface,” he noted.
The Actor Said Taking On A Role Takes Sacrifice
Brody shared how acting takes up emotional and mental space, adding that sacrifices must be made to be fully committed. While he is used to method acting for his film roles, taking the stage is a different experience, something he said he hadn’t done since he was a kid. “It pushed me beyond my own boundaries, really, and made me yearn to tell the story and be brave enough to step into relatively uncharted territory for me,” Brody said.
The actor said he wasn’t worried about being alone for months, adding that he understood what he needed to do to take on the role. “It’s not the first time I’ve done it, and it won’t be the last,” he noted, adding that his preparation leads to “better work.” Brody shared that he pours as much of himself into the role as he plays it and then lets it go afterward.
The Real Story Of Nick Yarris
In 1982, Nick Yarris was convicted of murder, rape, and abduction, and he was sentenced to death. He maintained his innocence through the years and demanded DNA testing to prove his innocence. In the 90’s, however, DNA technology wasn’t as advanced, and results were inconclusive.
In 2003, a final round of DNA testing was conducted on pieces of evidence collected at the crime scene, which resulted in a profile that exculpated Yarris. His conviction was vacated, and he was exonerated by the DNA evidence. Yarris was released from prison in 2004 after fighting for his innocence for 22 years while on death row.
Yarris’ story was the subject of the 2015 documentary “The Fear of 13.” It was adapted into a stage play in 2024 and ran on the West End before debuting on Broadway in April 2026.
Adrien Brody On His Method Acting For ‘The Pianist’
In 2003, 29-year-old Brody received an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Polish-Jewish Władysław Szpilman in the 2002 Holocaust film “The Pianist,” making him the youngest actor to ever win the award in that category.
Brody said that his preparation for that role was “on a much greater scale.” He placed his belongings in storage, sold his car, moved out of his house, and could only be reached through voicemail. Furthermore, he stopped listening to modern music and stuck to classical pieces to fully immerse himself in the character. After filming the movie, Brody said he had to start his life “from scratch.”
“I had spent months immersed in the horrors of war, oppression, smoke, and ruin, and then returned to a city that carried some of that same weight,” he noted, adding that 9/11 happened after he finished filming “The Pianist.”
“It was important to me to go that far, to fully honor the responsibility of that role,” he explained.
Adrien Brody Celebrated His Broadway Success
Brody has received largely rave reviews for his Broadway debut, and the actor celebrated by hosting an intimate dinner with castmates and friends, as reported by Page Six. “The whole night felt incredibly celebratory,” an insider said about the event.
The source said Brody made a toast, commending his “Fear of 13” co-star Tessa Thompson. “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for sharing this special experience… It’s been a profoundly enriching experience,” the actor said. Toward the end of the night, Brody and his castmates smashed a chocolate leg to honor the saying, “break a leg.”
“The Fear of 13” will conclude its limited Broadway run in July 2026.
Another couple from Netflix‘s popular reality show, “Love Is Blind,” has announced they are divorcing after four years of marriage.
Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin, who met and married on season 4 of the headline-making dating series, shared a heartfelt and lenghty message about the status of their relationship after months of speculation.
While fans haven’t been privy to what’s gone on behind the scenes since leaving the show, during their season of “Love Is Blind,” Appiah and Griffin had a rocky start, leaving fans with more questions than answers.
Appiah and Griffin announced their plans to split with a joint post on Instagram. “Last week would have marked our fourth wedding anniversary,” Griffin wrote. “Out of respect for the life we shared, I wanted to address this moment directly with the community that has supported us over the years.”
She called the end of her marriage to Appiah “heartbreaking,” adding that the outcome wasn’t what she hoped or planned for. “I entered this relationship with deep love, commitment, and the intention of building a lasting life together,” she said.
Griffin explained that she and Appiah noticed that they were drifting apart, and while they have love for one another, they needed more.
“My mantra going forward is that I am strong, I am resilient, and there is still so much ahead of me,” she added.
Appiah Said His Divorce From Griffin Has Been ‘One Of The Hardest Decisions’ Of His Life
Appiah, meanwhile, shared a similar sentiment and added that their decision to split has “been on the hardest” he’s ever had to make.
“We built a life filled with memories, laughter, and love that I’ll always be grateful for,” he added. “We will always have respect and care for each other in everything we shared.”
According to Appiah, it was in the couple’s “best interest” to go their separate ways after realizing they weren’t aligned with their “life goals.”
The ‘Love Is Blind’ Couple Appeared To Deny Rumors That They Were Splitting In April 2026
Griffin and Appiah’s announcement comes just weeks after the pair appeared to shoot down rumors that they had broken up.
According to Cosmo, Griffin shared an image to her Instagram Stories in April 2026 of herself and Appiah enjoying the sun on their patio.
Appiah reshared the post to his own page and added the caption, “Sitting in what once was a pile of dirt & wood chips.”
Speculation surrounding the couple’s union ramped up over the past few months after users noticed that Griffin had stopped using Appiah’s last name and was missing her wedding ring in some photos.
Appiah And Griffin’s Story On ‘Love Is Blind’ Wasn’t Sunshine And Rainbows
While Appiah and Griffin’s split might be hard to hear, social media users seemed to believe it would eventually come.
For those who may be unfamiliar, Appiah and Griffin’s journey toward each other on “Love Is Blind” wasn’t the traditional love story.
According to Us Weekly, Appiah was involved in a love triangle with Griffin and Micah Lussier. His heart was set on the latter; however, when she connected with someone else, Appiah ran back to Griffin.
After asking Griffin to be his wife, Appiah said that he made the right decision. “I think no matter what, especially when you start looking at the life that you have now, but when you think about the connection I have with Chelsea — the pod relationship you have with someone [is] completely different from the actual relationship you have with someone,” he said.
He added, “Like, when I went past the pods with Chelsea, I was just like, ‘OK, this is almost a reflex for us, the way we interact, the way we understand each other.’ I just don’t believe that would’ve ever been the case with Micah, and I can respect that.”
Other ‘Love Is Blind’ Couples Have Divorced
Griffin and Appiah aren’t the only couples from “Love Is Blind” to divorce, according to TODAY.
In August 2022, Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson from season 2 announced their separation, while Jarrette Jones and Iyanna McNeely shared a similar statement days later.
Season 3 stars Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux split in December 2024, and Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton divorced in 2025.
And that’s not all. Lydia Velez Gonzalez and James “Milton” Johnson IV, and season 7 contestants Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser, also split in 2025.
