Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco
Keep It Sunny-Side Up at Hot L.A. Breakfast Spot
Published
Do even Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have to wait in line for L.A. hotspot Max and Helen’s?
The couple were spotted at chef Nancy Silverton and TV producer Phil Rosenthal‘s insanely popular diner on Sunday, where the wait times are routinely said to be 4 to 5 hours long!
Selena was seen talking on her phone as she made her way in to the crowded eatery, wearing a casual black outfit, while Benny was snapped in a comfortable hoodie and corduroy pants.
Their cozy-core looks were a far cry from their glammed-up date night at the Golden Globe Awards last month.
Selena and Benny brought a special kind of elegance to the red carpet when they showed up in their old-Hollywood inspired fits.
It’s unclear if they had to wait for their breakfast this morning, but if they did, they sure looked good doing it!

NASCAR is honoring the late former driver Greg Biffle two months after he died in a plane crash.
The three-minute tribute aired via FOX on Sunday, February 15, during the live Daytona 500 coverage, with Biffle’s loved ones sharing memories of their friend, coworker and family member.
“Greg Biffle was the most talented guy I’ve ever worked with. He had speed, he was fearless, he was smart … He never found himself in a situation that he didn’t think he could win. He always got the most out of the car and that’s the ultimate driver,” Doug Yates, CEO of Roush Yates Engines, said in the video.
“He had supreme confidence in himself,” Biffle’s Roush Racing teammate Jeff Bourton added. “He would put his car in places that others wouldn’t.”
Fellow teammate Matt Kenseth noted, “He was a fierce driver. Winning was above everything else.”
Biffle’s niece, Jordyn, went on to recall how her uncle gave back after the devastation of Hurricane Helene in 2024.
“His instinct was, ‘We can get in the helicopter and we can go look. Let’s try to see what the situation looks like and what we can do to help,’” she recalled, while friend Cleetus McFarland added, “He paid for all the fuel that went into my helicopter, he was the one who gathered the supplies at first. He was going above and beyond just one guy in a helicopter.”
While Jordyn shared that racing was a “huge piece” of Biffle’s life, she noted that “helping people hands down is where he found a lot of joy.”
Race car driver Greg Biffle is dead at 55 following a fatal plane crash. Rep. Richard Hudson, a family friend, confirmed Biffle, his wife, Cristina, and his two children died on Thursday, December 18. “I am devastated by the loss of Greg, Cristina, and their children, and my heart is with all who loved them,” […]
News broke in December 2025 that a plane belonging to Biffle crashed and burst into flames shortly after takeoff at the Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina.
“At approximately 10:15 am, an aircraft crashed while landing,” airport officials told The Charlotte Observer in a statement on Thursday. “Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is en route and will investigate the incident.”
While the Iredell County Sheriff’s Office confirmed there were fatalities at the crash but didn’t reveal further details, the Biffle’s family friend shared that the athlete and his family were part of the seven people on board who died. (Biffle was married to wife Cristina, with whom he shared daughter Emma, 14, and son Ryder, 5.)
“Unfortunately, I can confirm Greg Biffle, his wife Cristina, daughter Emma and son Ryder were on that plane … because they were on their way to spend the afternoon with us,” Garrett Mitchell shared via Facebook. “We are devastated. I’m so sorry to share this.”
The National Transportation Safety Board has released new photos and videos from the scene of the crash that killed NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his family, among three others, as the investigation continues. “Our representative with the National Transportation Safety Board disaster assistance division is continuing to work with the family members and loved ones […]
Earlier this month, a preliminary investigation from the National Transportation Safety Board determined that Biffle was not at the controls when his plane crashed. Retired pilot Dennis Dutton was flying the plane and his son, Jack Dutton, was his co-pilot, according to the NTSB’s report, released in January.
The report claimed that Dennis was licensed to fly the Cessna 550 aircraft, provided he had a qualified co-pilot. Jack, meanwhile, was not qualified. The report noted that Dennis was flying the plane when it took off before temporarily handing the controls to his son and then taking them back as he tried to land the aircraft.
After discovering a malfunction with the altimeter and determining the “left side flight instruments may not have been working properly,” they tried to return to the airport.
“Both engines remained attached to the pylon structures and both thrust reversers were found in the stowed position,” the report continued. “There was no evidence of uncontained engine failure with either engine.”
As the plane tried to land, the aircraft struck trees and light stanchions outside of the airport. The plane then went through a fence that separates the airport from the main road. The exact cause of the crash is still under investigation.
Cain Velasquez — a former UFC heavyweight champion — has been reunited with his family after spending 11 months locked up for allegedly attempting to shoot a man accused of molesting one of his family members.
In video shared to X, you see the moment Cain gets dropped off by a shuttle and greets his kids after leaving a California prison Sunday. A mariachi band launched into a festive tune upon his arrival, making it an all-out welcome home party for the retired mixed martial artist.

Cain was released on parole.
Remember … Cain pled no contest to charges related to a shooting that took place in February 2022. Cain allegedly shot at the vehicle of Harry Goularte, who was reportedly accused of molesting Cain’s 4-year-old son.
Goularte is still facing a felony charge of lewd acts with a minor, ESPN reports. According to the outlet, Cain has also filed a civil case against Goularte.
While Cain was sentenced to five years, he received credit for time he spent in the county jail after he was initially arrested, as well as for time he spent on house arrest leading up to his 2024 trial.
During the ordeal, the UFC always stood by Cain. CEO Dana White reportedly wrote the court, describing Cain as a “model example of how a professional athlete should carry himself.”
Simone Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens says he was the victim of an attempted robbery in Milan while attending the 2026 Winter Olympics.
“Not somebody just tried to snatch my shopping bag in Milan, force of habit i had it tied around my hand so he couldn’t get it and took off running immediately,” the Chicago Bears safety wrote via X on Sunday, February 15. “But still crazy.”
When a follower asked the NFL player if the alleged perpetrator was “fast,” Owens, 30, gave more insight into the alleged altercation.
“Not fast at all bro, his arms were moving faster than his legs lol,” Owens replied. “Should’ve seen his face once he realized i turned around and he couldn’t grab it.”
When another fan told the former Green Bay Packer he should have “let him take it just to chase him down,” the athlete admitted that the assumably scary endeavor was initially “hilarious” given the alleged perpetrator’s less-than-athletic prowess.
“Honestly bro it was hilarious how slow he started running away once he saw he couldn’t grab it out of my hand,” Owens shared.
Owens is visiting Milan, Italy, alongside Biles, 28, as the pair take in the 2026 Winter Games. The football player admitted that he prepared to stay safe while traveling overseas with his better half.
“It was no way he could get it off my hand,” Owens told another fan of the encounter and his efforts to keep hold of the shopping bag. “I’ve seen too many TikTok’s of that happening so i was prepared.”

Before Owens detailed the alleged incident online, Biles shared photos of her husband spoiling her on Valentine’s Day 2026 via a Milan shopping spree.
“Always spoiling me,” Biles wrote via Instagram on Sunday, sharing a selfie with Owens at the Bottega Veneta boutique in Italy.
“I never knew Bottega did this, might be a special Milan thing?!” Biles captioned a follow-up slide of a white handbag accessorized with a “SBO” gold monogram on the exterior. “But how f***in cute?”
Owens also gave fans some insight into the pair’s romantic day, writing via his Instagram Stories on Sunday, “The shopping in Milan is elite. [I’m a] long way from St. Louis, man.”
Biles and Owens were first spotted taking in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday, February 13, appearing in the stands of the Milano Ice Skating Arena during the men’s single figure skating event. The couple, who tied the knot in 2023, watched as U.S. figure skaters Ilia Malinin and Andrew Torgashev performed. (Malinin, 21, was favored to win gold in the event but finished eighth place after two falls.)
Jonathan Owens is one proud husband. Owens, 29, gushed over his wife, Simone Biles, the most-decorated gymnast in history after taking home four medals at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, during a Chicago Bears press conference in Chicago on Tuesday, August 6. “It was amazing to watch,” Owens told reporters after Tuesday’s practice with the […]
“There is a little bit of familiarity around [the sport] but I would never do it on ice,” Biles told fans inside the area during an interview shared via the Olympics official website. “I give them all the props, I’m rooting for them, I’m praying for them. I’m just super excited to watch today.”
She teased, “I mean, I can skate. But I cannot do anything that these athletes can do out there tonight.”
Tim Very, drummer for indie band Manchester Orchestra, has died at age 42.
The news was announced by his bandmates via Manchester Orchestra’s Instagram account on Sunday, February 15. “The entire Manchester Orchestra family has been devastated by the sudden passing of our brother, Timothy Very,” the post read. “The most beloved human being any of us were lucky enough to know in this life. We’ve all been dreading sharing this news as we are all still in absolute disbelief.”
No cause of death was disclosed.
The post continued, “Tim was instantly likable and interacted with everyone he met with kindness and warmth. His laugh was infectious and he immediately made people feel invited and encouraged. His humor and energy were the very foundation that held together the entire MO universe. Strangers quickly became friends and friends became family.”
Janet Gough/AFF-USA.com/MEGA; Karwai Tang/WireImage Josh Devine, best known as the drummer of One Direction, reacted to Liam Payne’s shocking death at age 31. “Heartbreaking news,” Devine, 33, wrote via Instagram Story on Thursday, October 17. “I just pray for Liam’s family and all that knew and loved him.” Devine added, “Some of my fav memories […]
A photo of Very, taken from behind during a performance by the Atlanta, Georgia-based rockers, was included in the post. In the snap, Very held his arms in the air victoriously as a thick crowd of fans watched on from below the stage.
“He had an undeniable light that was only matched by his dedication and love for the craft that he was clearly put on earth to do,” the post continued. “No words can ever do him justice. Please know, if you are someone who loved Tim, he loved you too.”
The post also noted that Very was a father. “The only thing that Tim loved more than creating music was being with his family. You’d be pressed to find a more joyful dad,” it read. “We love you Tim, thank you for loving us. You are a force of positivity that will be a constant presence in the rest of our days.”
Liam Payne left a mark on his former One Direction bandmates and backing musicians alike ahead of his death at age 31. “We’re completely devastated by the news of Liam’s passing. In time, and when everyone is able to, there will be more to say,” the remaining members of the original group, Harry Styles, Niall […]
Fellow musicians shared their condolences within the post’s comments section including Riley Breckenridge from the Californian rock band Thrice. “Heartbreaking. He was such a ray of light, such a force of joy and positivity, and so unbelievably talented. He was truly one of one. Love you guys. I’m so sorry,” he wrote.
New York City-based session drummer, Tucker Rule, also commented, “I’m so sorry to hear this 💔.”
While Very was not Manchester Orchestra’s founding drummer, he was its longest-serving drummer after joining the band in 2011 and playing with them for 15 years, per reporting by Rolling Stone on Sunday.
There’s something uniquely special about the bond between teen pop sensations and their fan bases, which is tragically highlighted when an artist dies young. After One Direction alum Liam Payne died at age 31 in October 2024 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, fans flocked to the scene to […]
The outlet also noted that Very’s artistry was heard on the band’s last three studio albums: Copy, from 2014, A Black Mile to the Surface, from 2017, and The Million Masks of God, from 2021.
During a February 2022 appearance on the “Drummers on Drumming” podcast, hosted by Ben Hilzinger, Very explained that he had hoped his music resonated with fans in more ways than one. “I’d like to think that after doing this for 20 years or so, whatever it’s been at this point, that I’m bringing something to the table that isn’t just drums and grooves and all that, but it’s understanding what a song should have, or could have in it, to hopefully enhance it or hopefully add something — a flavor, a feel to it,” he said on the show at the time.
Brooklyn Beckham didn’t just send roses this Valentine’s Day … he’s sending a statement.
Brooklyn took to Instagram Sunday with a gushing tribute to wife Nicola Peltz, promising to “always protect” her in a post that felt equal parts romantic and resolute. Alongside loved up snaps, Brooklyn made it clear Nicola isn’t just his Valentine … she’s his priority.
The public show of devotion comes amid ongoing tension within the Beckham family. While Brooklyn didn’t reference the family feud directly, the vow to “protect” Nicola has plenty online speculating it’s more than just flowery holiday language.
As you know, there’s been a strain between Brooklyn and Nicola’s famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Brooklyn alleged tensions boiled over at his wedding, claiming Victoria interrupted a planned moment when Marc Anthony was serenading the newlyweds.
According to Brooklyn, his mom instead danced with him in a way he described as inappropriate and humiliating.
Still, Brooklyn’s message was unmistakable. He called Nicola his world and doubled down on his commitment, reinforcing the united front they’ve shown since tying the knot in 2022.
American star Karen Duffy was in her early 30s when she played the killer criminal J.P. Shay — who is hunting down the briefcase filled with ransom money — in the 1994 classic “Dumb and Dumber.”
Karen Duffy was amongst a stellar cast including Jim Carrey as Lloyd Christmas, Jeff Daniels as Harry Dunne, Lauren Holly as Mary Swanson, and Mike Starr as J.P. Shay’s gassy accomplice Joe Mentalino.

:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/Survivor-50-Cover-Shoot-122225-25-f53a163b87604736b45bde02a1b2ea52.jpg)
The hulking figure also reveals the show he turned down to be on “Survivor 50.”
February is shaping up to be a rare kind of win month for Solo Leveling fans: not a vague tease, not a merch drop, but a real new way to stay inside Jinwoo’s world while everyone waits for concrete movement on a third anime season.
The franchise has been expanding fast, sometimes in directions that feel adjacent to core anime fandom, but this particular update lands where the appetite is strongest: more story, more momentum, and a format you can jump into immediately without that whole rewatch homework. The audio drama has been rolling out since mid-2025, and it’s built as a premium, full-cast style production with a high-profile lead performance, exactly the kind of adaptation that can carry tension, humor, and power-scaling without needing animation to do the heavy lifting. As per ScreenRant, the audio drama currently sits at 648,000+ plays, which is a strong signal the audience isn’t “niche” at all, it’s just been underserved.
And now, to double down on it, Pocket FM is officially releasing the English version of Solo Leveling Season 2 audio drama on Monday, February 16, 2026. The production is described as a collaboration with K-audio producer Soundist Entertainment, and the English lead is Yuri Lowenthal as Sung Jinwoo. The simplest thing to do now, therefore, is to open Pocket FM anytime after February 16, find the Solo Leveling audio drama page, and you’re set — new season, same obsession, no waiting for court announcements or manga frustrations with abrupt endings.
‘Solo Leveling: Ragnarok’s Month-Old Surprise Finale Has Fans in Limbo
Back in January, Solo Leveling: Ragnarok abruptly capped Season 2 at Chapter 68 after D&C Media confirmed the early finale on X, an unexpected stop given how much shorter Season 2 was than Season 1. JIN then revealed inside the chapter that he’s stepping away for mandatory military service in South Korea, framing it as a pause and thanking readers after a four-year run that began with side stories and continued through Ragnarok. Jang Sung-rak (DUBU)’s legacy also looms large, with the publisher saying illustration duties will move to a successor trained in that lineage, while writer Brix remains attached. As of February 13, there’s still no firm return date, though Tapas has acknowledged the Season 2 hiatus publicly.
Solo Leveling audio drama will be available in English on Pocket FM starting February 16, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
