Original sci-fi is nearly extinct in movie theaters. Dune and Project Hail Mary are adapting best-selling novels, Avatar: Fire and Ash and Predator: Badlands are franchise films, which is why back in 2023, sci-fi fans were excited over visionary director Gareth Edwards bringing The Creator to the big screen. From the moment it was announced, the film was heralded as the savior of cinematic sci-fi. Weeks after release, it was largely forgotten, but now it’s available on Netflix waiting to be discovered by sci-fi fans craving another tale about sympathetic artificial intelligence and evil humans. Wait, what? 

Don’t Watch The Creator For The Plot

In the near-future of The Creator, the world is divided between those who want to exterminate A.I. following the nuclear devastation of Los Angeles (the majority of the planet), and those who choose to embrace it (a unified New Asia). Sergeant Joshua Taylor (John David Washington) is sent into New Asia to steal the latest superweapon, Alphie (Madeleine Yuna Voyles, in her first movie role), a supercomputer simulant in the form of a young girl. With a hole in the side of her head that marks her immediately as an A.I., one of many examples of how the film looks amazing, but the plot falls apart with the slightest bit of critical thinking. 

Sergeant Taylot finds himself at the center of a new battleground between New Asia and the United States that goes from a coastal village to space, and his dead wife, Maya (Gemma Chan, star of the British A.I.-centric series Humans), was entangled in the origins of the latest conflict. It’s best if you don’t think too hard about who’s fighting and why when watching The Creator. Instead, let the amazing visuals and unique robotic designs wash over you. 

The Creator Is Visually Stunning But Hollow

Shot for a reported $80 million, The Creator is the rare film where it doesn’t look like every cent can be seen on the screen; it looks better than the budget would make you think. Edwards unique style is a perfect fit for science fiction. There are simulants that have amazing moving parts to them, and then there are the American bomb robots, which look like running trash cans. The careful thought and design that went into the aesthetics of the world, combined with the excellent acting from both Washington and Voyles, is let down by the flimsy plot. 

It’s a running joke at this point that the majority of the plot holes complained about online are from viewers playing on their phones while watching a movie, but if you watch The Creator, you can’t help but notice the logical fallacies. Soldiers using huge suit-mounted lights for a nighttime operation, a weapon system that scans the entire target area so far in advance it might as well send a warning via snail mail, advanced hover boats that only move at boat speeds even though they are, again, hovering over the water, and somehow, advanced A.I. robots have an airplane mode. 

The Creator may not be the savior of original sci-fi that it was marketed as, but that doesn’t make it a bad movie. It’s a throwback sci-fi of the early 2000’s. Gorgeous visuals, beautifully shot, but hollow. It’s sci-fi junk food in the best way possible. If you missed it in theaters, you can do worse than immersing yourself in the near-future A.I. apocalypse. 

The Creator is currently streaming on Netflix.

When I first heard that Peacock had ordered a prequel series based on Seth MacFarlane’s 2012 movie Ted, I thought it was the worst idea ever. Sure, I remember enjoying Ted upon release as a teenager, but then again, I also enjoyed Family Guy and The Master of Disguise back in the day. Now that I’ve consumed both seasons of the Ted series, I can wholeheartedly say that I was dead wrong, and that this is one of the funniest shows I’ve watched in years.

While the core characters of Ted and his owner John are played hilariously by MacFarlane and Max Burkholder, the real show stealers are John’s middle-aged parents, Matty and Susan (Scott Grimes and Alanna Ubach.) No matter what happens to the Ted franchise over the course of the next few years, I must insist that we get more of these two characters, even if Ted himself is not involved.

Isn’t This Show About A Teddy Bear?

Let’s back things up just a little bit. For those unaware, Ted is the story of John Bennett, who wished upon a shooting star that his teddy bear would come to life in the 1980s. Once this scientific anomaly came to pass, the bear underwent a brief period of fame and fortune, only to be forgotten by pop culture and sent back to the Bennett household to live a relatively normal post-fame life. The two Ted movies, starring Mark Wahlberg, follow Ted and John as burnout thirty-somethings with no career goals or ambitions, while the Ted series highlights the pair during their high school years.

In the series, John and Ted live under the roof of Matty Bennett (Scott Grimes) and his wife, Susan (Alanna Ubach). Matty is a Nixon super-fan, Vietnam veteran, and proudly ignorant tradesman, who reminds me of every old-school Boston dirtbag I knew growing up. Susan takes on the role of stay-at-home mom and homemaker while offering chipper, cutesy replies to the insanity her family brings. Some of the biggest laughs I’ve ever experienced in my life have come from Matty’s insistence that eating an egg at night will turn you homosexual, or Susan’s very European-inspired pronunciation of words like “porno” or “Cosmopolitan.”

Ted Is Too Expensive, But Doesn’t Have To Be

As Seth MacFarlane has candidly described in the past, the Ted series is prohibitively expensive to make, clocking in at roughly $8 million per episode. That may explain why Peacock has ordered an animated spinoff series to effectively replace the live-action show, with Wahlberg returning to the leading role. While Ted hasn’t officially been cancelled yet, the season 2 finale effectively bridges the gap between the show and the first movie, leaving very little room for more Matty and Susan stories.

Sure, the couple might appear in the new Ted cartoon, but that would mean aging the couple up to their late 70s. It would also mean that Matty and Susan would only appear as tertiary side characters, if at all, since their kids are grown and out of the house. That doesn’t work for me. I need a whole show of just Matty and Susan hijinks, with maybe an occasional CGI teddy bear thrown in for yuks.

Matty & Susan Vs. The World

Basically, my proposal is to copy the blueprint of another very successful sitcom universe, and make a Matty and Susan equivalent of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. In case you haven’t been following, Georgie & Mandy is a spinoff of Young Sheldon, which is itself a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory. The show became a must-watch for fans of the franchise after Montana Jordan’s George Jr. completely stole the show with his wicked charm and plucky attitude.

Surely Peacock could spare the money to produce a series under a working title like Matty & Susan Vs. The World, or The Bennetts And the Bees. Without Ted, the series could even be shot like an old-school sitcom, with a soundstage and a live studio audience.

This would give Seth MacFarlane an opportunity to expand into yet another television arena, which he seems to love doing, and it would give me more time with some of my favorite characters. I’d also get to keep doing the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme every time the characters go to the South Shore Plaza in Braintree, Massachusetts, my childhood mall.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the last show that anyone would describe as particularly Christian. That’s partially because it was created by Joss Whedon, who is a devout atheist. The show also went out of its way to make certain demons (primarily Angel and Spike) sexy, something that didn’t always go over well with religious audiences. Throw in the prominent gay relationships and the constant violence, and you have a ‘90s show that often set conservative Christians on edge.

With that being said, there is an almost shocking level of Christian influence embedded in Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s storytelling. One great example of this is the fan-favorite Season 3 episode “Faith, Hope, and Trick,” which is a reference to a very popular biblical verse. Interestingly enough, the verse itself helps to foreshadow years of storytelling, all while emphasizing what makes Buffy so special in the first place.

You Gotta Have Faith

“Faith, Hope, and Trick” is the episode that introduces Faith (Eliza Dushku), a new Slayer who was called into service when Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) died for the first time (don’t worry, she got better). While the two Slayers clash at first, they overcome their differences to defeat Kakistos, the ancient vampire who brutally killed Faith’s Watcher. However, one of that villain’s cronies gets away: Mr. Trick, who will become a servant of Season 3’s Big Bad, Mayor Wilerson.

Now, in case you need a Sunday school lesson (better brush up if you want to get admitted into Sunday college!), this Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode’s name is an allusion to the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 13. The verse describes how it doesn’t matter what abilities you have (including a silver tongue, a wise mind, powerful faith, or even the gift of prophecy), if you don’t have love. This Bible verse famously ends with these words: “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 

O Come, All Ye Faithful

At first glance, the episode title “Faith, Hope, and Trick” just seems like a fun allusion to this biblical verse. After all, there’s nothing explicitly Christian about this story. However, a deeper analysis of the verse in question reveals how the episode foreshadows the fate of Faith as well as what makes Buffy so special as a Slayer.

You see, 1 Corinthians 13 really hammers home that it’s not enough for Christians to have faith; if they have faith without love, the Bible insists they are “nothing.” A big part of Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s third season is Faith realizing that she isn’t as good as Buffy. It’s not because she lacks vampire-fighting skills; when the chips are down, she can throw fists and slam stakes with the best of them. But she is a very selfish character, and her inability to see beyond her own needs leads her down a dark path. She kills a human, and shortly after that, she becomes the evil mayor’s most lethal lieutenant. 

The Downfall Of Faith

Therefore, the name of this very early Season 3 episode foreshadows the downfall of Faith, a character who has all of Buffy’s skills and special abilities but none of her love for others. Without that love, she is, as the Bible warns, “nothing” compared to Buffy. Faith seems to realize this on a kind of subconscious level, which is likely why she embraces the mayor as a surrogate father figure: he offers her the kind of love she craves but that she has been unable to offer others.

Beyond Season 3, however, the message of 1 Corinthians 13 eerily foreshadows Buffy’s own journey, including what separates her from other Slayers. In the dreamy Season 4 finale “Restless,” Buffy confronts a frightening, primitive girl who is eventually revealed to be the First Slayer. This early demon hunter tells Buffy that she can’t have friends and must always work alone. Buffy rejects this idea and continues to fight alongside her friends for the rest of the series. In flashbacks to other Slayers’ lives (and deaths), we learn that Buffy really is an anomaly: every other Slayer fought and died without any allies by their side.

By embracing her love for her friends, Buffy found a greater strength than previous Slayers or Watchers had ever dreamed of. This eventually led to a show-stopping series finale where she shared her power with every potential Slayer around the world. In embracing love over everything else, Buffy effectively embraced the wisdom of the Bible’s greatest lesson. Maybe that shouldn’t be so surprising, though: after all, as someone who died to save the world and was resurrected to lead humanity out of darkness, Buffy is one of television’s most surprisingly Christ-like characters. 

General Hospital 2-week spoilers for March 30 – April 03, 2026 find Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) swooning and Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) being gone, gone, gone.

General Hospital Spoilers Monday, March 23rd: Britt Caught in the Line of Fire

So, on Monday, March 23rd, we have Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) caught in the line of fire perhaps between Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes) and somebody else, you know, because at the pier when we left off on Friday, it picks back up on Monday with Britt telling Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) that Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) is not the only person to be worried about. She’s obviously talking about Cullum.

Meanwhile, Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) derails Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) who was in Britt’s room. Nathan found him there and was like, “What are you doing in my sister’s room?” And he says he needs to find Britt ASAP, but I’m sure Nathan isn’t going to help with that at all.

GH Spoilers: BLQ Shocks Tracy

Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) talks to Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) at General Hospital and she asked if BLQ is visiting the baby again. And she tells Tracy the baby’s name is Phoebe and she will be out of the NICU soon. Tracy tells Brook Lynn that she thinks she’s getting over involved.

But BLQ says baby Phoebe is alone and needs someone to take care of her. So, Tracy asks how she plans to do that, and Brook Lynn says by becoming her foster parent. But Tracy thinks that Brook Lynn might be using this baby as a way to get past something.

And that may be her issues with Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and their marriage and his recent behavior. Sidwell pressures Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) on Monday and he tells her she should be thanking him. Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) tells Jason not to do this in front of your kid.

We know that Dante is supposed to bring Jason in on a WSB warrant, not a PCPD warrant. And of course, Jason can tell by this that Cullum is trying to isolate Britt. And Jason may try to get away from Dante, but he’s warning him.

General Hospital Spoilers: Carly and Valentin Get Close

Carly tells Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) that he should have given her heads up on what he was doing, but he didn’t want to ruin the surprise. So, looks like he made dinner for Carly and she and Valentin are sharing a romantic moment over dinner and wine and Carly may swoon.

Also on Monday, Lucas opens up to Carly. Now, this is fresh off his meeting with Britt, so it may be about the Wyndemere drama. And I wonder if Lucas is going to tell Carly she has to cancel the party that she is co-hosting with Sidwell out on Spoon Island.

Tuesday, March 24th: Dante Gives Jason an Ultimatum

On Tuesday, March 24th, we have Dante giving an ultimatum to somebody. And it may be Jason, who of course wants to get away from him and get to Britt, who is very frightened. If you remember from Friday, Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) followed her and saw Britt with Lucas because she was acting off.

So, Rocco was curious. So, I wonder if Britt and Lucas and Rocco if all of them wind up in danger. This week, Jason is away from the PCPD somehow because he makes it to the pier. He’s looking very on edge and Britt doesn’t seem to be there. And Jason quickly takes action. So, this may be about doing whatever he has to do to get to Britt.

General Hospital Spoilers: Nathan Shares a Secret with Lulu

Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) is sworn to secrecy by Nathan. I wonder if he’s going to drop a hint about his past or Nathan may tell her that he went to see Dante and that Cullum called while they were there. But she can’t tell anybody or he’ll get in trouble.

And horrified Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) sees something gruesome on Tuesday. And I think she might see a bloody Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) in her law office. Cullum went by there on Friday. He had a knife behind his back. So, I think he may go stabby stabby on Marco to punish him for stealing those two vials of Britt’s medication.

GH Spoilers Wednesday, March 25th: Britt in a Race Against Time

Wednesday, March 25th, we’ve got Britt in a race against time. So, Cullum may force her to complete that cold fusion device or Jason’s a dead man, maybe others that he’s threatened before, like Rocco. And if you remember, she said she was only a couple of days away from being done, but she didn’t really want to finish.

Charlotte Cassadine (Bluesy Burke) is crushed when things don’t work out. This could be about Valentin, could be about her getting fake info to Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), or maybe she was supposed to get together with Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn) and it doesn’t work out because of whatever’s going on with Jason.

Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) has to break bad news to somebody and it may be to Lucas about Marco’s fate after the Cullum attack. Now, nurses don’t tell people that a patient has died. That’s the job of a doctor. So, it just may be grim news, but not deadly news. Also, Lulu gives someone a warning.

Maybe it’s Cullum to stay the heck away from her and her kids. And Chase walks in on a close moment between two people. There’s lots of choices. DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson), Danny and Charlotte, Lulu and Nathan. That would be pretty interesting.

Thursday, March 26th on General Hospital: Josslyn Connects the Dots

Thursday, March 26th, we’ve got somebody getting unsolicited advice from Carly. And it may be Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), maybe Valentin. Josslyn connects the dots. And maybe she figures out Carly and Valentin are getting romantically close. She would hate that.

Nathan promises something and it may be to protect Lulu and her kids from Cullum at all cost. I don’t think that’s necessarily Nathan, but I also don’t think he’s necessarily a bad guy.

Sidwell has a heart-to-heart with Ava Jerome (Maura West), and this may be about what happened to Marco, and Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) turns to Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) for help. So, this may be another legal problem, and it may be something related to the attack on Marco.

GH Spoilers Friday, March 27th: Lulu Starts Digging for Info

Friday, March 27th, we’ve got Sonny looking for answers. And it may be about Jason going missing or whatever it was that happened to Marco at Cullum’s hands. Also, Lulu starts digging for info and she may be looking into Nathan’s recent past and those missing years.

Interestingly, we should be getting an onscreen absence for Nathan. He is off in another country shooting a movie for a little bit. And I had heard that he did extend his agreement with GH, but part of that extension was them agreeing to give him time off for this movie.

Dante gets a visit from his son, Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza), and maybe they’ll get some father and son time. That would be great. Michael is cautious about something. And it could be about Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell) after Tracy basically said Michael was disrespecting her.

Josslyn makes somebody an offer. And I wonder if it’s Valentin. Also this week, Justine shows up on Sonny’s doorstep. He is happy to see the DA there, and there may be more nookie coming soon.

Week Two on General Hospital: March 30th-April 3rd Spoilers

The week of March 30th through April 3rd, we’ve got Justine and Sonny struggling to keep things platonic. I bet they’re back in bed soon. Lulu is going to dig deeper for answers, but she may be stunned by what she finds, especially if it’s Nathan that she’s digging into.

Josslyn plans her next move to protect herself from Cullum and protect Carly from the risk of harboring Valentin, who’s an international fugitive. Nathan is determined to protect Lulu and her kids at all cost. And we’ll find out more about that kind of weird reaction he had to Cullum when he showed up at Lulu’s door.

And to me, it feels like Nathan knows Cullum better than he should. Sidwell is worried about Marco. Sonny and Ric do some more strategizing. There’s going to be fallout from Jason going missing and our leaker had said that it was Cullum who took him, which seems likely, but we’ll get confirmation soon.

Britt worries about what will happen when her work is complete, and Brad Cooper (Parry Shen) is worried about Britt. Carly and Valentin get closer and we may see feelings on both sides. And Lucas is also reeling from what happened to Marco.

Things are escalating quickly in the divorce between “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Jessi Draper and her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura. What started as a confirmed split has now taken a more serious turn, with court records revealing a temporary restraining order filed amid their ongoing divorce proceedings. While details remain murky, the timing alone is raising eyebrows.

Jessi Draper Divorce Heats Up With Disputed Restraining Order Filing

The unraveling of Draper and Ngatikaura’s marriage became official earlier this month. According to reports confirmed by PEOPLE, Ngatikaura filed for divorce on March 19. Just one day later, on March 20, court documents show that a temporary restraining order was filed in connection with the case.

However, the situation is far from straightforward. The restraining order was opposed the very same day it was submitted, and it remains unclear from available records which party initiated the filing.

Despite the legal move, key details remain undisclosed, including who exactly requested the order and what prompted it. Representatives for both parties have remained tight-lipped, with Draper’s rep declining to comment and Ngatikaura not immediately responding to requests about the new filing.

Jordan Ngatikaura Breaks Silence On ‘Heavy’ Divorce

Following the filing of the divorce, Ngatikaura addressed the split in a public statement, acknowledging the emotional weight of the decision. “This has not been an easy decision, and it comes with a heavy heart,” he began.

“I’m grateful for the shared memories and the lessons,” he continued. “While our paths are now moving in different directions, my priority remains my children and ensuring they feel loved, supported, and protected through this transition. I am committed to handling this next chapter with kindness and respect.”

He also asked for privacy as the family navigates the transition. Draper and Ngatikaura share two young children, son Jagger and daughter Jovi, while Ngatikaura is also a father to his daughter Peyton.

Jessi Draper’s Divorce Comes After Past Claims Of ‘Emotional Abuse’

The split didn’t come entirely out of nowhere. Just months prior, Draper opened up about struggles within the marriage, previously claiming she experienced “emotional abuse” and revealing the couple had agreed to a 90-day separation while working through issues in therapy.

Ngatikaura had also previously addressed the situation, stating, “I take full accountability for the pain I caused Jessi during our marriage.”

Draper Called Marriage ‘A Work In Progress’ Just Before Divorce Filing

Interestingly, Draper painted a more hopeful picture of their relationship shortly before the divorce filing. In a March interview, she shared that both she and Ngatikaura were continuing therapy, both individually and together, as they tried to navigate their challenges.

“We’ve been doing that for about a year now since the separation happened, and it’s helped a lot,” the reality TV star said. “It’s taught us both a lot about how we are as individuals and how we are in a relationship, and it’s just kind of still a work in progress.”

Cameras Captured Cracks In Jessi Draper’s Marriage Before Divorce Filing

The timing of the divorce has only added to the intrigue, as it comes just after the release of Season 4 of “Mormon Wives,” now streaming on Hulu. In the latest season, viewers watched Jessi Draper and Jordan Ngatikaura actively trying to work through their relationship, but the tension was impossible to ignore.

The couple was seen navigating several heated arguments on camera, giving fans a front-row seat to the strain in their marriage. At the same time, noticeable changes in Jessi’s behavior raised eyebrows among both viewers and her fellow MomTok circle.

Jessi began publicly using her maiden name, a move Jordan reportedly labeled “selfish,” signaling a deeper divide between the two. Concerns also grew when other members of MomTok noticed Jessi was spending nights away from home, staying at a hotel during particularly tense periods.

At one point during the season, Jessi discovers that her prenuptial agreement may not hold up legally after realizing it was never signed by a witness. In an emotional moment, she tells her fellow cast members that ending the marriage could cost her “millions.”

The couple tied the knot on October 8, 2020, after getting engaged earlier that year.

After a first season of dismal ratings and widespread hatred from fans, Paramount has finally stepped up and pulled the plug on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The show is cancelled.

Starfleet Academy’s second season has already been shot and completed, so that will air to a disinterested audience on streaming at some point, but afterward, it’s finished. CBS and Paramount issued a joint announcement today, confirming the second season will be the show’s last.

Paramount’s Official Starfleet Academy Cancellation Announcement

Here’s the full statement issued by CBS and Paramount: “We’re incredibly proud of the ambition, passion, and creativity that went into bringing ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ to life. The series introduced audiences to a bold new group of characters, welcomed familiar faces, and expanded the ‘Star Trek’ universe in exciting new ways. We’re grateful to Alex Kurtzman, Noga Landau, Gaia Violo, and the entire cast and crew who pushed storytelling boundaries in the spirit of Gene Roddenberry’s vision. We look forward to sharing the upcoming second and final season with everyone, and continuing to celebrate the cast, crew, and all that was accomplished with this series.”

With the cancellation of Starfleet Academy, there are no longer any Star Trek projects in active production with Paramount. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has already completed filming its fifth and final season. Both Star Trek: Discovery and Star Trek: Lower Decks were cancelled after airing their fifth seasons. Star Trek: Picard shut down production after the completion of its third.

Is Alex Kurtzman Cancelled Too?

No word yet on the fate of the man most responsible for Star Trek’s recent string of disasters, Alex Kurtzman. Fans have long predicted his firing, but Kurtzman has maintained control over Star Trek, despite the damage he’s done to the brand.

The wording of Paramount’s Starfleet Academy announcement, however, may offer some shred of hope. Their statement makes a point of mentioning Alex Kurtzman as part of their goodbye to the cast and crew of Starfleet Academy. The way it’s phrased makes it sound like Paramount is saying goodbye to Kurtzman along with his latest failed show. So far, however, there’s no other indication that Alex Kurtzman is out.

Perez Hilton is opening up like never before, and the details are nothing short of terrifying. The celebrity blogger revealed he spent 21 days in the hospital, calling the ordeal both “the worst and best thing” that’s ever happened to him. From a near-deadly medical spiral to what he describes as a miraculous encounter with God, Perez Hilton’s emotional confession is packed with raw honesty, regret, and a major wake-up call.

Perez Hilton Admits ‘My Stupidity’ Led To Hospitalization

Hilton didn’t sugarcoat how he ended up fighting for his life. “My stupidity landed me in the hospital for 21 days, and it was the worst and best thing that’s ever happened to me,” he admitted in the 25-minute-long video shared on YouTube.

According to Hilton, what started as a case of the flu quickly spiraled into something far more dangerous, all because of one critical mistake. “I took my medication for the flu for a week. However, I didn’t take any of my medication with food,” he admitted.

That decision triggered a terrifying chain reaction. “I got a perforation. And then, sepsis. People die of sepsis,” he said, tears falling from his eyes. By the time he realized something was seriously wrong, it was almost too late. “The next morning, I couldn’t walk. I had to be taken in an ambulance to the hospital,” he revealed.

Hilton Says ‘God Presented Himself To Me’ During 21-Day Hospital Ordeal

Amid the chaos and pain, Hilton says something deeply spiritual happened to him. “One of the most special things about this experience is that God presented Himself to me,” the celebrity blogger said. “It was not a feeling. God presented himself to me.”

Despite being raised Catholic, Hilton admitted he had never truly believed, until now. “I was never a believer, until now,” he said. “This has been life-changing. I don’t have to hope to believe, I know now.”

The experience has already inspired major changes in his personal life, including plans to attend church regularly with his children. “I’m excited to start taking the kids to church every week and to just know that God is real,” Hilton said.

Perez Hilton Breaks Down Over Mom’s Loyalty During Hospital Stay

While battling physical pain, Hilton also found emotional healing, especially through conversations with his mother. “She was the true VIP of this all. My rock,” he said of his mom. “She was at the hospital every single day of those 21 days.”

One of the most powerful moments came when Hilton finally addressed lingering questions about his late father and his sexuality. “I never felt accepted. I asked my mom if she knew, if my dad knew, I was gay,” and her answer gave him the peace he had been searching for his entire life.

“She assured me that he would have [accepted me]… and I felt such a weight off my shoulders,” he told his viewers. “That was one of the most healing moments of my life.”

Hilton Details ‘Medical Nightmare’ As Sepsis Left His Body ‘Falling Apart’

Hilton’s hospital stay was anything but routine. He says it was a full-blown medical nightmare. “The first few days were a lot of pain, constant tests, X-ray, CT scan, ultrasound,” he revealed.

Doctors struggled to locate the internal perforation before eventually performing surgery. “After five days, I ended up having laparoscopic surgery,” he said, which he described as “flipping around all of my organs.”

But things only got worse. “I had so much infection,” Hilton said. “The sepsis just kept working, and my body kept falling apart.” At one point, his condition became so severe that emergency measures were required. “One night, rapid response came as my heart got out of control,” he revealed.

Perez Hilton Details ‘Humiliating’ Hospital Ordeal After Invasive Procedures And Setbacks

He also endured multiple invasive procedures, including a nasogastric tube and a catheter. “One of the hardest things was having this giant tube going from your nose through your stomach,” he said of the nasogastric tube.

To make matters worse, Hilton revealed he developed another infection inside the hospital. After more than two weeks without eating, the recovery process itself became humiliating. “I had some nights of accidents,” he revealed. “I felt so humiliated and sad.”

Is Ciara teasing Baby Cinco or just clowning the pregnancy speculations? Social media users have been womb-watching the ‘Goodies’ singer since she stepped out last week in a silver ‘fit. She’s yet to confirm or deny whether she’s baby bumpin’ with her fifth child. However, on Sunday, she seemed to fuel the speculations when she showed off her model walk in a stunning red dress. But it was seemingly Cici’s caption, song choice and hand placement that inspired the “congratulations” flooding her comment section!

Ciara Says Call Her ‘MamaZota’ 

Ciara on Sunday told fans in her caption, “Llamame MAMAZOTA :).” In English? The singer is saying to call her ‘Mamazota,’ a reference to a new song by Dominican rapper Arlene. CiCi also added the song to her post as she walked in slow motion in a sleeveless, deep red dress with a tulle-and-feather skirt. She paired the look with a matching headscarf and silver heels. Near the end of the clip, Ciara places her hand on her stomach and holds it there for a few seconds.

It appears the video is from Ciara’s attendance at a benefit gala for Karol G’s foundation, Con Cora Land. The event was at the Vizcaya Museum in Miami on Friday. She shared a separate post that shows her posing with Karol, Alicia Keys, Rocsi Diaz and more and enjoying other parts of the event like the food.
